  Speaker 1: the way here, and I'm sorry if the person it
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: happened to does listen, which I fucking highly doubt it.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: What are the chances of that near my place? As
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: a dog park on the way here? So I pulled
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: up at the lights and it was quite busy because
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: it was right in school time. And I look over
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: and this guy has must have stepped in dog shit
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: in the dog park, and he's picked his foot up
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: to look at it. In doing so, he's lost balance.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: He's sort of like hand in his leg, and the
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: dog leash got caught up all together. He just went
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: into the dewy, wet grass, potentially still dog shit all
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: over the guy. And then the light went green and
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I just left.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Have a great day.

  Speaker 3: right now. There's plenty of the podcasts out there that
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: have intelligent people speaking about parenting, but it is not
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Ash nor myself.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: I'm plenty of intelligent how dare you are you? Though?
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Before we get into it, should we crack a little
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: cold beer, a little brusky little Bruceky from Stonewood. We
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: are drinking the Pacific ow. She is my friend, before
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: you are.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry I've taken this sip.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Early April heard that Laura had tried on a stone Wood.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: So she's trying a stone Wood. Look, she's not all
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the way converted, but I'm working on it. She did
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: enjoy a little passion through tropical notes. Every other beer
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: that she's put to her mouse she's hated, so put
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the right foot forward here.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Well, it's an easy drinking beer. It's approachable, it's not
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: too scary. It's subtle.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: It's like juice.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: It's like it's like juice, but a refreshing, hoppy type
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: of juice.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, and the Pacific al Is is the beer that
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: puts stone and wood on the map, getting its name
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: from the Pacific Ocean, coming from Byron Bay. It is
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Barron Bay in.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: A bottle question, When did you get a beer fridge
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: in your.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Garage the day I was born? So cheers the stone Wood.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: As always, we appreciate you and allowing this episode to
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: be possible, so.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Cheers, I'll do it. Cheers. Sorry for doing the premature sip.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Has your eyebrow?
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Do have a pimple in my eyebrow right now?
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: I can't see it? No? Oh there it is there.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, fucking hurts. Like this morning, I was like, I've
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: been shot.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Right on the little tip of your eyebrow. At least
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: it's hidden.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: It is hidden on here. That's why having shaved, we
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: got another one under here.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: You're breaking out. You're going through puberty for the second time.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I could use a bit of extra length in my penis.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Also before we get into it, obviously we had Oscars
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: party that has been and gone.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: But so Wednesday, I think Mum's come Ellie. Do you
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: want to come down? Yeah? Um, come on down, Come
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: on down. I just going to interrupt. Oh god, okay.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Ellie is currently yelling from the top of the stairs
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: saying that she was left in the dark regarding this episode.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: But like you said, we record every single Wednesday. And
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: then when you guys knocked on the door, she was like,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: who's that, I'm naked.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I didn't even knock, Elle, Are you coming down? Jesus credible?
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Getting yelled at what I was saying, you are father
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: of Toddler's toddler now now a young child birthday of mind?
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: When does toddler stop? But I think four drackon Okay,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: I still refer to Marley's being a todd live child. Okay,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I just don't like the idea of them growing up.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Yes, agreed, Actually no, disagree. I can't open the grab
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: and move out anyway. When they have birthdays Christmas, you
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: get presents from people that you think, why the fuck
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: did you get me that? Why did you get this child? Back?
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Because they've got it intentionally to annoy you. So my parents,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: my mom found something at an opshop and she thought,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the kids will fuck him up this, but Ash will
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: hate this because it's annoying.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: This is something that would be he got for his birthday.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Like I'm thinking about the microphone, the carry out Yeah.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Remember the Caryok, similar thing also still in the garage,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: hasn't been opened. That genius.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Get rid of that right now.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I was going to keep it because I thought, maybe just
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: two mikes, maybe one day we could do something funny
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: with it.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Stuff the kids for us, it's not for them.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: But my parents bought Oscar something annoying for his birthday,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to show you really quick.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Great.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: First of all, i'm going to show you that I
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: want you to guess what it is.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Jesus Christ. That looks like it could kill me. Okay,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: it looks like a bit of a megaphone. That looks
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: it looks like something you'd see in Men in Black. Yeah,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: it does look like a man in black gun.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to pull the trigger and give you
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: an idea of what this Islet okay, I'll do it
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: in to the mic.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: That is fucking amazing. It's a fart gun. Now are
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: these self recorded or are they like preloaded?
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Imagine the guy's job it is to preload that. He's like, hey,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: good one, let me record this one into the gun.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: So it's a fart gun.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: It's like an art deco design.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Looks like it's to make it obnoxious.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Look at like the little fart chamber at the top.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: It gets worse. Okay, that one. That's what they got, Oscar.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Can I just give it a quick of course.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Pull the trigger, pull my finger. They should have made
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the trigger a finger, and you pull it. Brilliant, brilliant.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: You're in the wrong wrong profession.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: If that toy company is listening, it's so like annoying
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: because kids are so trigger happy. I've broken it, I'll
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: be broken it. There's not enough switch, you might it's working.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: It was from a shop.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: What's the RPP on this? How much you pay? I
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: think you paid two bucks for shown out to think
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: we're toys who have made this.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: So there's this one. But as you know, Oscar is
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the eldest of my children and I have a younger child,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: but I don't know Macy and you think, oh, they'll
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: just share it. No, there's a mini version.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: That is incredible, So that's going to be one of
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: the best fines from an op shop.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Surely this one is actually not that one was, but
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: this one was found after that one was found, and
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: they thought it'd be way funnier. Two give that and
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: then go how annoying is this? But also how annoying
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: is it that your little sister now has one too.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: You know what's funny is that they're not the same brand.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: No, well, this one's like this is Vintage.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: That's Vintage's old man Father, and that's that's more progressive.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: That one's made in China. The Vietnamese fart gun sounds
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: slightly different and.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: It's got an accent well, and they're very different cuisines.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: This is honey chicken, this is noodles. Yeah, that's a
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Vermicelli salade.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Very good.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm dealing with now, guys. So just a
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: little tip for those who are buying presents for children,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: don't get anything annoying.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Farts are always a great shout farts. I have turned
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: into you once again. Ash. It's funny how the world works.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: It's flipped. It's flipped.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I'm an impressionable young man.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Who would have thought when we started this podcast we've
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: been in a position twelve months later where you're the
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: one throwing the birthday parties and I'm the one that's
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: decided that I've had enough of birthday parties.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, because it is Marley's birthday today, Maley's birthday.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: As we record this Happy birthday to my beloved child.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: I noticed that you sent a straight off Kindy center
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: off to Kindy birthdays.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: We gave her a happy birthday badge.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Happy birthday, does your kindya allow cake?
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Oh no? Which is great though, which is great? So
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: because of there's like a couple of kids with dietary allergies.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: They make the birthday cake there and it's great because
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: they can't get the kids will do it together, so
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: they do like a.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Make it out of play thom.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they like eat this. But it's perfect because it
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: means that you don't have to go out and you know,
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: get twenty thousand cupcakes. Yeah, we drop it off as well.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Well, we just do the ones from like Woolies and
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the tiny.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Very good idea, but I think it's great. I love
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: the fact that we don't have to give the birthday
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: cake slash cupcakes to the kids. Marla's excited, except we
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: were like, man, we've done a big birthday party every
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: single year for Marley.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Big mistake.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: You know what they're like, you know, as someone who
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: just come off the back end of a birthday party,
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: they're a fucking nightmare. Also really expensive, like when you're like,
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: when you're add.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: It all, we managed to get away with it pretty cheap.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Well, everyone I saw you at your birthday party. You
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: were getting more dinosaur nuggets and chips and drink.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that sent me broke dinosaurs.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: And I'm just going to stop for a second because
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: my beloved Ellie is now walking down the stairs. I
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: was looking fantastic. Wow, look at her hair, giving me
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: the finger. Settle down, Oh, relaxed.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: If it wasn't for the membership card, i'd be broke.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, But we decided I'm going to do something just.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Just the fa family. I'm fine with that. That's what
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I tried to tell people when I got shamed for it.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: But people like you got the child of its birthday.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: The outrage. People came at you with pitchforks and like
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: burning sticks.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Of my house.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: We'll drag him outside and we'll hang him up by his.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Neck, make an example of him.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: So we decided that this is the year we'll do
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: something very quiet, nice in the backyard, just the cousins.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: And it's good news for you because you don't have
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: to drive out an hour on the weekend.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I'll be here give her something to do.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: But we had an early birthday press birthday present, birthday
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: present for the kids.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Kids. Kids, there's one. It's one kid's birthday. Are you
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: combining them?
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: I would, It was actually a birthday gift for the
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: whole family.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Ash.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: I I don't know how to tell you. I don't
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: want to freak you out. I don't panic. It's not
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: a big deal, isn't it. Everyone goes through this. We're
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: just going to come out and say, Okay, come out
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: and say it. Don't freak out.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I was pregnant.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: We have knits. It's happened. We've been taken down.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Why am I scratching my head? My god? Why did
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: you drag me into this house with nips in it?
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Because the podcast was.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Just laying down over there on the on the thing
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: and it's funny clothes over there, kids clothes. I was just,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: what's the now?
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Apparently they don't survive outside of the scalp for more
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: than four hours.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Apparently, Okay, what time did the kids go to?
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Kindy that we got one more hour and they're still kicking?
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Oh my, So my sister putting this on. My sister,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: her kids have nets, Kate, and we said, I never
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: had knits as a child, never, not once. I'm pretty
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: sure because my hair is really thin, and unfortunately my
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: two girls have really thin hair also, Laura, we're a
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: family of thin haired people.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: That's not good for you in the future.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Not good for me in the future, great for us
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: now because it means the knits like the thick hair.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the things with thin hair too. It's easy
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: to get them out, easy to find them on the scale. Yeah, Unfortunately,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I'm a house full of thick haired people.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Have you had knits before?
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah? When I was a kid, I had them
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: a few times because I had a mop of hair,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: and you know how thick my hair. If you ran
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: your fingers to the back of in my.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Mind, I would fucking love to do that, you.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't be able to get them out. So thick. And
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: my mom's like that, dad's bald. That doesn't make a cant.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: My sisters well, quite thick hit. Macy, she's she's a
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: thick haired child. She has her thick hair. Osco made
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: not so much.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: But had they had the girls, sorry the girls? Oscar
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: as a boy has Oscar and Macy? Have they either
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: one had knits? Not yet? No, man, it's a fucking nightmare.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Oh I know, mate, I remember as a kid my
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: mom was like, what the fuck? And it's probably more prevalent,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: you think, in primary schools than with kidney. You get
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: the alert, like there's headlines going around, you just don't
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: send them the next day. Let them fumicate or whatever
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: they do.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: But we said to my sister after she warned us,
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: because we're hanging out all weekend. She goes, my kids
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: have nits just after you got a pre worn probably
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: pre warned. I wasn't listening. And we were like, look,
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: we don't get nits. We're not a knit kind of family.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Appreciate the concern, but it's not me.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I love the cock in it. We don't get it's
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: around here for poor people.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Next day, I had a little look in Marley's hair
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: and I was like, holy shit.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: They were running everywhere in this house.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: And we like all week and we've done multiple you know,
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: you do to put this oil in first, let the
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: oil sit for ten minutes and the kids are like
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: getting oil everywhere, like handprints all over the furniture. Have
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: a solution, and then you've got to go through the comb.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: If the comb hurts, dude, I did. I had to
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: do it as well.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Is it the electric comb? We've seen those is an
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: electric will go through and just kills them on the
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: spot as you're going through the hair instead of you
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: having to dig it out. It's like it might be dangerous.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: It's like the flag zappas. But you know I love
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: killing insects. I didn't know I have a look into that.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I had the old school.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: Laura was doing my hair and I've got some footage
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: that I'll put in there. It fucking hurt.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: It's so thin.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Oh, dude, just like this a solution, Like I need
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: to hold on to as much as I.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Can shave their heads message you imagine.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: But okay, the big the big problem was, dude.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: You know, put the bold filter on them on the
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: and be like would this be okay for a couple
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: of weeks.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: We we didn't want to not send them to daycare
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: because because just before people come at me and start
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: attacking me. This is on Saturday, and then Sunday we'd
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: like done like three or four treatments. Their kids were fine,
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: kids were good, right, so they were good to go
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: to daycare on Monday. Anyway, as we're walking a daycare,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: I'm dropping them off, and then Marley and Laula are like, hey, everyone,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: we had nets on the weekend, and I'm like shit,
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: and I'm like no, no, no, it's fine. No one nets
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: just to show it, guys like shut up, shut up,
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: shut up, shut up. So Okay, I'm going to say
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: that we're nit free at the moment.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: I'll be the judge of that. But if I'm itching
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: on the car in the car on the way home,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: you my friend, I just want to trouble.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: I want to warn people out there. If you do
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: think that you are not at risk of knits, just
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: be careful because the moment you relax, the moment you
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: stop worrying about them, that's when they attacked, and they
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: will fucking take you down. No one's safe.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: And Maddie Jay's message Maddie Jay's messages rich people can
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: get knits too. It's not just football.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: It's don't discriminate.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: They do not discriminate.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: I will take anyone down regardless of your income.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: So knit free at the moment, which is good to hear.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: I am presuming that we may have some knit conversations
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: in the near future, because as they get older, they
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: bump heads together and all th all sorts of things,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: and as their hair gets longer too, like with girls,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: their hair gets longer all the time, and then they
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Macie pulls her hair out of the thing. That's I'm
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: not looking forward to that. I forgot about knits till
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: just now. Sorry, but I did have them a lot
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: as a kid.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: I apologize.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Uh, matt Oscar has a new friend, and I want
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: to tell you about this new friend that's really sweet
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: and how new friendships start, they bloom, they blossom. This
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: friendship is with Siri.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Kids kids love Siri, so.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: It's I quite often catch him asking Siri how she
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: slept or how she's feeling today. I've got some I've
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: got some footage that I want to show you. We'll
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: put this in for socials. Everybody, have a nice morning.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: I love how he asks the second time, and he's
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: a bit like answering I said, did you have a
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: nice morning?
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I know, and he's sometimes at night he's like, good
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: night Siri. I keep missing getting footage, but April's got
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: some more footage. But this is what I've got so
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: far of him saying did you have a nice sleep?
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Or sometimes he gets frustrated because, like you said, Siri
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: sometimes doesn't answer bad. But like all good friendships, there's
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: there's troubles. They have tips, they have misunderstanding, peaks and troughs.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Peaks and troughs. So, like I said, like all friendships,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: it's this is no different. So I have another video
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: gone through a rocky patch of Oscar and Siri having
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: it go through a little bit of a rocky patch,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: show why you're not listening to me? So I was
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: gonna gets very frustrated when Siri doesn't listen to him
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: or searches for the wrong thing.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: Siries sometimes a bit stupid.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's be honest, but let's I wanted to bring
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: this friendship to light and then I'm just gonna give
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: you some updates on how it progresses over the next
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks because I feel like the friendship's really blossoming.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Does he understand obviously, the concept of Siri is a
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: bit much for a young child. Does he understand that
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: series not personally? Okay?
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Cool, So I'm going to keep like that my Siri
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: is a man's voice. You can change it. Yeah, that's
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: the thing.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah. But when I'm in the car and I'm like, hey,
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: sirih cool mom and I will.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Be boy call mom all right. You can call me
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: daddy though.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: And Marley's like, who's that. I'm like, it's just Daddy's friend.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: She loves it. She loves it. When I talked to Siri,
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: But they also like on the on the iPad. Dude,
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: they are when it when it does work out and
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Siri responds in the right way, the joy on their face. Yeah,
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: it's like they, you know, crack the code. What are
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: you going to say when when Oscar starts requesting, like
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: can I meet Siri there?
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: That'll be fun because what we'll do is we'll find
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: someone and we'll just say this is Siri. I think
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: we should do that, introduce him to a fake Siri. Yeah,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I think we should definitely give that a go. Love
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: that at some point, but also just on phones and
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: like kids being like, who's that? I did send you
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: something yesterday last night that was quite rude. It started
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: off as a news bulletin, do you recall?
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Anyway, so someone got me with that.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: But because we're not going to put this on socials
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: because it'll get us.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Banned, it's one of those things which men send each
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: other where it's like I'll open this up and it's
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: just someone going oh oh, like making that noise and
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: I got done with it yesterday.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Was the smile on your face as you're telling this story.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: But trying to explain it to the kids because they
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: heard it from upstairs. They're like, what's that? And I
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: was just like, oh, it was just someone sent Daddy something.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I accidentally had it on too. It hurt my ears too,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: because I.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: Was so lad it was just for people who want
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: to get an insight into the type of content that
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Ash sends me. It was a fake news bulletin, which
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: then midway through it transitioned to a big penis. I'd like,
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: enormous penis taken from Borno. And luckily I was in
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: a place where it was only me. I wasn't at
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: the cafe in front of other people. And your reaction
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: right now is exactly how I thought you react, just
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: so proud of yourself.

• 27:38
  Speaker 1: is from Crystal. Mm hmmm. Partner and I were at
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: a barbecue. My husband clocked off from dad duty's as always. Later,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: when our toddler poop, I asked him to get nappy
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: and wipes from the car. Then I hid in the
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: TOI so when he got back he had no choice
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: but to do it. Very good, that's brilliant. I could
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: hear him changing bubs in the laundry right near me,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: and I refuse to make a sound or come out
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: until the nappy was disposed of by him and him alone.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: Good, good, good, very good. Also, that guy needs to
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: fucking step up.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, you don't clock off from dad duties.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: Of all the tasks of toddlers changing the nappy, I
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: think it's the easiest.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: It's the stinkiest.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: I don't mind that. Before I get into this one,
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: I have done something. It's very it's very low on
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: the petty scale, like it's barely enough to make a mention.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: But I mentioned it anyway. Laura wants cups of tea
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: at nighttime. I make a cup of tea. Laura goes,
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: are you making a cup of tea? I'll love a
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: cup of tea, and it'd be fine, but Laura fucking
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: wants honey in it. And it's just, you know, you
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: know what honey's like, dude. You know, I give like
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: one little squirt and then all of a sudden, it's
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: fucking everywhere. I gets all over there.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: That's what she said.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: And so now I fucking don't make.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: It with honey, and she doesn't know.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: She never and also she never fucking drinks it because
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: she's always like, oh that's a bit hot. I'll let
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: it call down for a second and then never goes
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: back to it. And then when as I go to
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: bed and I'm cleaning up the fucking kitchen bench, I
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: find a cup cup of tea, So now I don't
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: put the honey in it. God, I'm a badass.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: I'm so glad I got that anyway. But who we
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: got next? That's petty, That's that's pretty, Petty.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: That's pretty.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Just gave me a vivid memory.
• 29:28

• 29:40
  Speaker 3: out his nose and we end up with snot on
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: the walls and showers screen. But he doesn't even bother
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: to wash off Afterwards's he doing it? Teach Morley how

• 30:14
  Speaker 1: I love that steam steam machine.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: Once dried, it's not easy to remove. And I've asked
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: him to be mindful of this, but he doesn't listen. Fuck,

  Speaker 1: back at him for this.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: We'll keep going. So when she does a shower and
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: she sees the snot on the walls or shower screen, oh,
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: I clean it off with his toothbrush. Oo.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Oh my god.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: His toothbrush is not there. I use his body scrubber.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Oh oh man, oh my god.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: If I was her, I just take a ship in
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: the shower, try and stamp it on the drain. Yeah,
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: just leave it there and be like, dude, I'll get
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: rid of the ship once he stopped putting his snot everywhere.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: No, because that could really backfar with her because he
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: could just be like, well, I'm gonna start shop in
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: there too, and then I don't really mind.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: But also like how hard is it to do your
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: bushman's blow in the shower and then like wash it down?
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: They're like, what the what's he doing?
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Wide are his nostrils that they're splattering on the walls.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: That's usually it's like a straight down what's what is?
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know how he's doing it.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: That's yeah, i'd get that checked out.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: I would definitely what Once again, we are not medical physicians,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: but you should get that checked out.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: Definitely have that look that's.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Disgusting and look honestly, he probably doesn't even know that it's.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Trying to Yeah, I was going to say that. I
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: was like that does I have?
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: I have tried to clean a dried up booger on
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: a wall in a shower, very hard. It gets like concrete.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Maybe they should start making the roads out of it.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: There is potholes. There's an idea this guy, I think,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: get him into.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: Let's drag out Ellie. Oh wait before we do that.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: Before we do that, have you got the key? You
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: know I didn't lock it.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, should get one of those with the code, Elle Darling.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: Ellie, thank you for jumping on the podcast before we start,

• 32:23
  Speaker 1: The cat into the bathroom to do a WII and
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: the cat right there. I did accidentally we on the cat.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: That's so fine. It's nice to what Ellie's doing in
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: the cat at the moment, because the cat did to
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: be gold Ship in mum's bedroom.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: In the bedroom ship stink.
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: Oh it really did thought.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: That stinky cat food would come out smelling worse.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, by thank you for jumping on the podcast,
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: and thank you for doing the story the other day.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: Talk us about an hour to do the Ask Ellie questions.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: You're professional.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: It's a good thing. You're better at podcasting than you
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: are doing Instagram stories. Lots of questions, lots of.
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: Question not deer in headlights.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: Everyone wants to hear from Ellie for our new little
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: segment calling it Ask Kelly.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: We need a theme song for us.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: We did have a question that ash. I'll put this
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: one on you. I prefer to ask Kelly Ellie like
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: ask Nana.
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: I just thought it gave it some authority as.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: We'll let it marinate. We may change it for next week,
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: but for now it's called ask Kelly. And the very
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: first question is this.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Is from Lucy. Okay, we should get some of the
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: who wants tense?
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: Hi, Lucy?
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Yes, Lucy wants to know do you raise boys and
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: girls differently? Would you have you wow?
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, I think we all know, whether you want
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: to acknowledge it or not, but boys and girls are different?
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Are you serious? Yeah?
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: They have different body pads.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: Do you not know that boys are a nightmare as kids?
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Awful?
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: Awful? I've seen your kid like he's.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: Trying to dressing.
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: It is a generalization, yes, but okay, looking at our family, we're.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: A family of four boys and one girl.
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: So all Kate ever wanted was a Barbie doll, and
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: all you boys ever wanted was a gun, and none
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: of you.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Got of, say, a toy gunie.
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: But no, the first time, the first time the boys,
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: the boys had lamb chops. They ate the meat. And
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: then the next thing was they were using the chop
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: the bone as a gun.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: To shake each other.
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: And I thought, sure this was in prison.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: I was obsessed with Rambo.
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, no, I think I think. I think the
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: main thing to remember is, yes, they are all different.
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: I tried to bring you guys up all the same.
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: I think the thing to remember is just to embrace
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: the differences. Don't be afraid that they are different. Just
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: go along with whatever they're comfortable in doing. I mean,
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: I tried to introduce the same things you even did ballet.
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: Remember doing ballet with Cake?
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: I thought I would be archers.
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: No, you didn't like it. Kate wanted to do ballet,
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: and I thought, well, the boys can.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Do it, so yeah, well I have a boy and
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: a girl, so they definitely You.
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: Must see difference.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: I do now.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Starting off, I kind of thought what worked for Oscar
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: is going to work for Macy. But that's not true.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: I think people who say you can treat them all
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: exactly the same have not had children and have not
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: had mixed sex families. Because they are different doesn't mean
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: that anybody's better or worse. Kate was very much the organizer,
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: but very early age, and that's typical of girls. They
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: do develop earlier than.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Boys's much more organized.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what about when it comes to discipline, exactly the same.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: One of them harder than the boys.
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: Were very compliant when they were younger. Don't clean your room,
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: they would go and clean their room. Kate, go clean
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: your room?
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Neck you yeah right, yeah, yeah, Okay, it's definitely different.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: I mean with Oscar it was kind of like, it's
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: weird because I sort of see Macy as like she's
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: too sweet to get angry.
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: With o that's very dangerous girl.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the same. But also lately she's just getting cheek
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: here and cheek here, and I've found myself getting frustrated.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: But it takes much more for me to get frustrated
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: with her than it does with him.
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: I tend to think boys generally respond to do it,
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: do it now? Please?
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: With girls, you say, would you rather clean your room
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: now something? Or would you rather do be and then
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: clean your room? If you give them the choice?
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Very true. I find myself giving Macy choices and Oscar demands.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Interesting difference. Yeah, but I subconsciously do that, like it's
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: just a action because I know if I say to Macey,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: do this, she's like no.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: But do you think your expectations are higher with Oscar
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: because he's older.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: There's probably a little bit of that too.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: But they also say that we give information to girls.
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: We give a lot more verbal instruction with alwa is
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: it stop, don't do that? Go over there, whereas girls
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: we explain things more.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: If I say to either you eat this sandwich or
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: eat this, She'll be like, she'll make a decision.
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: With Oscar, if I'm like, eat it okay.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: Question number two Okay, is early. Question number two comes
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: in Lola, Lola, only assume it's not my log. Yeah,
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: it could be actually got my funds, my password could
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: be her, but she wants to know. Do you have
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: any tips for diffusing toddler tantrums?
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: Hmmm, well, child psychologists will tell you that you can
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: break tantrums down into three three categories. You've got emotional tantrums,
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: so that separation, anxiety, and you've got situational tantrums where
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: they don't want to get in the car to go
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: and see Nana. And then they've got what they call
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: mock tantrums. Some people might say they're all mock.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Does that mean all right?
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: It just means that they are putting. I mean, I'm
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: not trivializing how the kid is feeling. But a mock
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: tantrum is something they do to manipulate the situation.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: You know, So as when you see, like it's a
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: video of a child having a massive meltdown, is losing it.
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: They want something and in the second they get the
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: toy the tantrum to stop.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: A really good video of Macey having an absolute melt down,
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: And I was like, do you want an ice bocke?
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: And yeah, do you know what that is a distraction?
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: And I actually and a distract. We all know about
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: distracting kids, but I actually tried this with one of
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: my grandchildren just the other day.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: Name and shame. Who was it?
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: No, Lola?
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: Anyway, she was in the throes of this tantrum. I
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: think she'd even forgotten what she wanted. And I don't
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: know whether you remember you were there, and I just
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: said to Lola, I picked up this orange cushion and
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: I said, you know what, I just love this blue cushion.
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: It's the most beautiful blueje remember.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: She said, no, it's not. It's fucking pink.
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: She said, no, Nana, that's orange. I said, is it?
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: I thought it was a lovely blue color. Well what
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: about this green one? Which was red? And it completely
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: distracted her, didn't it.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so you've confused the child out of it.
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and she probably thinks she's a daycare and I've
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: been like, I just thought I had the colors figured out.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: To me.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: Sometimes it works. That time it worked well. I was
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: trying to brush her teeth and she was having meltdown
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: and Nana came in and said, and Laura's losing it.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: In the bath and then Nana came in and said,
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: is that a bird outside? I can see? And Lola
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: was like, shut up, now, I think I can see
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: a parrot outside work.
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: But distraction, yea, the distraction. And I think if you
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: give them a question, yeah, she probably she probably is
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: thinking that or doesn't know her colors yet. Yeah. But look,
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: it's hard because quite often kids are just tired. It's
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: the wrong time, big day, they don't want a bathroom.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: I'm tired.
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're tired. Yeah, yeah, you're you're right at the
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: end of your patients. Yeah. And they often happen around about.
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: You, rush hour, distraction, confusion, Oh.
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: You know what. Honestly, honestly, just ignore. I know that's hard.
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: I know I know that. I know that's that is.
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: But you can just talk to them normally because they
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: are if it's a mock tantrum, they are expecting a response,
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: and if they're not getting the response they want, then
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: it doesn't work. I mean, it sounds all very simplistic
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: and it's not.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: It's pretty complex.
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: It is, it is, and it is hard. Hard.
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: It's easy now in this situation where there's not a
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: child in sight, to say what to do. But when
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: you think of it and you do screaming child, Yeah,
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: three four children are screaming.
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: But it worked pretty well. When you were in the
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: shopping island, you were screaming because you wanted a crunchy
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: bar and I said no.
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: And Mum would just go I'm leaving him there.
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: He left him just the other day.
• 42:30
