  Speaker 3: bins for the cardboard. Yes, but we've had an influx
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: of cardboard coming into December.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: The worst we have blue bins collected this morning.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Because I've been stomping down the blue bins so much,
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: it's gotten stuck down the bottom and so only half
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: of the cardboard has gone out. And the garbage men,
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: who were normally pretty good, I'm normally no complaints, but
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: I was like, damn it, they could they not have checked?
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: They can shake it with the thing, can't they? And

• 0:50
  Speaker 2: actually really get rid of it, I know. And it's Look,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: the best thing about living here is I don't have

  Speaker 2: to take it out bring it back because they have
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: someone that does that. It's what Strata's fort But when

  Speaker 2: twelve months.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: How books have you read with him?
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: None?
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: And that's probably why he's doing so well smart because
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I'm just lexing.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: He's like, what what's that way? I'm like, anyway, that's
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: over and done with it.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: We didn't get any awards for kindy. Yeah.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: I was like, we didn't get the tap on the
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: shoulder pre event. So I was like, Marley hasn't won anything.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: And then they all got an award. They all got
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: a certificate for completing year one. And then the only
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: awkward thing was they had the teacher would stand on
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: the stage. They were then call out each kid, but
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: we weren't sure what to do, like do we clap
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: each child or do we clap at the end? Very
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: good first class, all the kids, and it felt cruel
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: not cheering on these kids, as you know. He would say,
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: and here's Timmy Smith. Timmy would be like, they call.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Out each one individually from every.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Class, quick, very quick, Timm Smith, who we had three
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: classes in kindy and then second class people started being
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: a little cheer and then I was like, do I
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: be that parent? And then caught up Marley May's name
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: and I was like, whoa you, I don't care, that's
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: my I washing at the back. I was like she
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: loved I think she loved it.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, shut.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: But no good.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Question about the clapping just quickly because they did say
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: clap at the end, but everyone just ignored that and
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: clapped during my hands and then I was like, we
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: meant to clap after then I felt like the odd
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: one out and I felt like like if if I
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: was looking at me, going so what, you're not clapping
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: for my kid? Everyone else's right, there's a fight in
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: the car park.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know you're punching your dad's I don't need
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: that heat.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: So we just clapped everyone.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: You want to imagine up on stage to not cheer,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: give them a check. Come on.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: I think at one point like a lot of people
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: just like trying to find different parts of their body
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: to clap because their hands are the red ro I
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: I'm dusting off all the Croissan crumbs. I noticed that
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: the you know, the kid come up, shake hands and
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: then receive the award photo op down off the stage.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: There was one teacher who's still sticking with the elbow
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: from COVID. The elbow greeting. What's was very formal like
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: this to every.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Teacher's hugging kids, And I'm all for that, get tact.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Get the fuck off my kids.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Anyway.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Are we in housekeeping?
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Really quickly, really quickly.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: We were at the shops recently and I bought an
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: advent calendar, a blueie one, and I bought one, and
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: you stopped me and.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Said, what are you doing, you idiot? And you said
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: you should buy two.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: You have two kids, have three now, but two of
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: which are able to open up Advent calendars.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I got two. He thank you me, I'm thanking you.

  Speaker 3: Except these two Advent calendars are exactly the same, identical.
• 11:54

• 11:56
  Speaker 3: And I don't know how the fuck my kids know this.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: But Marley was like, Lola opened my one and I
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: was like, they're the same, and she's like, no, I
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: had mine and Lola had hers.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, how do you know?

  Speaker 3: going to say it, they're.

  Speaker 1: A bit ship.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: They are ship.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: They're so they're a bit ship. I stand by that.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: It's just another thing like the Bluey one.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I don't want to attack Bluey because I love Bluey, but.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Like number three was like a sticker, a sticker of
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: like a tree.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: I was like, obviously I only paid six.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: One of their bars of gold. God, obviously you.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: Get your paid for, but you do. Even the kids
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: are like, can I open another one? And I was like,
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: you got a sticker, that's what we get for today?
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta wait, but we got those ones, but
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: my mother in law bought other ones, so they got two.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: They're getting chocolate and Bluey every day chocolate. It's just
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: a cabri one, which is It's just it's just a gimmick.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: I think I can lose the advent calendar.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's non critical.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Are you doing elf on the shelf too?
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Mate, you're doing it all. I'm jumping in the deep end.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: The biggest problem we're having is Mason wants to know
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: where the chimney is. Who've got air con? Babe? Just
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: coming straight through that flat. I said, I'm gonna have
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: to stay up and let him in.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Literally, what's that one called. It's an inverter.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: It's an inverter.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Santa Claus comes through the inverter, it comes back chilled.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Becomes a hand. She's still she's it's perplexing to her.

• 13:34
  Speaker 2: front door. But you've got to be asleep.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, anyway, you guys don't do elf on the shelf.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not starting that noise. And Oscar was like,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: some of the kids have elves at home, and I
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: was like.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: There's fucking elves everywhere. L's in the classroom doing that.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: It's amazing. It's the best thing ever in my life.

  Speaker 2: I don't have time for that.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: No, it's dude, I'm telling you jump on it. Nope, okay,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: But the look on their faces you can kind of
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: see why people would start cults. Like the power you
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: wheeled with these hands. Like I wrote Merry Christmas in
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: flower on the bench two secs wiped it off.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: I've got things.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: And the look at my kids. They wake up and
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: they're like, where is that little sneaky elf? And they're like,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: holy shit, he's written in flower. And I'm like, isn't
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: it crazy? And they're like it's so magical. And I'm like,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: should I start a cold?
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Just an elf cult?
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: And the rules are great, you can't touch the elf
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: otherwise he loses his magic.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Kids can't touch them.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: No, so if they want to touch the elf, that
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: means for that night he won't move, So they can't
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: touch them.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: And so they're like, they want to touch them, but
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: they can't.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: I just think it's a bit march we've.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Done, Like it's on the toilet seat with toilet paper everywhere.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Awkward from Nanna when she had to go to the
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: middle of the night and she's like, I fucking touch
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: the elk.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Shit on the elk.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: It was hanging from a light. It's amazing.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: And the best thing is the thing that you're missing
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: out on is the fact that's sorry getting aggressive, the
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: fact that the elf reports back to Santa Claus every evening.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: He's watching the elves and the elf can't talk, but
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: he's listening. So the kids tell the elf what theay
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: one for Christmas? Because the elf is going to tell
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: Santa Claus. It's just it's it's like a security camera
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: for well behaved kids.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Are you a salesman for off on the shelf?
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I've got a pallet of them at home.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm not getting into it. You need
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: another thing. I've got this already and I have to
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: clean up. Look at it, shed and hair.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Christmas tree looks it looks good, looks good.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: I had nothing to do with that. I got it
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: out of the garage. It's my job. It's about two
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: hundred years old, that tree. It's been used for so
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: many Christmases.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: You only you, you're thirty three.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: It's been passed down from generations. But it's shit everywhere
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: that's enough for me.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: And this shit on the wall glue on the fake
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: leaves is coming off, but it looks great.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: I'm not adopting any more tradition.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: You're missing you're missing out.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: I am your misguarantee you I'm not. But anyway, some
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: breaking news, man, Okay, and.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: Better be good because the last few of don't you
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: the quality here is starting to dip.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: It is not I can't make up news.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Would fake news?
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Fake news? Okay?
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: What do you got for me here?
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Okay? Children who were cuddled and hugged grow up to
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: be the happiest according to which who's done this Harvard research?
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Fuck off they have.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: I feel like if people just write the word Harvard
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: in there, that like which that's eligible?
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Which Harvard Harvard?
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: And like Instagram Harvard.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Sure that's not like people going to study at Harvard
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: and like what are we going to learn today? And
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: they're like about kids being happy when they get a hug.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: It's like duh, no shit.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean like, oh, they are, yeah, cuddled and hugged.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Isn't that what you meant to like? Isn't that what
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: you do with your kid? Like give mudle, give the
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: my hug something's wrong. Of course they're going to be
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: happy on people.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Some people out the ash of our age. To put
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: myself a bit younger, Yeah.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: I'm early thirties, your late thirties.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: They never they never heard I Love you from their parents,
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: so they never got a cuddle. Really yeah, yeah, it's
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: going to be interesting to see, like we're too nice
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: to our kids.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: No me, man, we give them too much luve we do, and.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: Like I on think, time will tell when they grow
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: up if we've done the right thing or not.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: I know. It's that old thing where it's like our
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: generation didn't get enough love, so we knee jerk reactions
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: way too far.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: So the pendulum swung both ways, and then for the
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: next generation it'll even out in.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: The middle they get a cuddle where they still get
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: the wooden spoon.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: You get both both worlds. That's where the saying comes from.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, that's breaking news.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: That was great, That was good, one of your best.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Just thought it had Harvard attached to it.
• 17:31

  Speaker 3: have a very special guest on the episode.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Just before we go into having my wife on the podcast,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: which people are gagging for.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Apparently I have salivating salivating, yes.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Much much nicer rolls off the tongue. I had an
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: incident which, look, this is slightly illegal that what happened.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: But I'm going to defend you myself.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Do you want to give away this information on the podcast?
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: Do you want to make a public this is incriminating
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: for you or someone else.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's not that bad, not that bad, don't worry
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: about too much. So I picked the kids up from
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: school the other day. It can be stressful. That's a
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: good dad, Thank you, thank you very much. So you
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: know how it can be stressful because it's never the
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: parking stitch is never all like the pickup spot. It's
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: always a nightmare.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: It's hell.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: We know that every school's different.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: I'm not being to hell, but I imagine it is just
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: like just one big street of like parking pickup and
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: drop off.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: You get there and they're like, guess what you're going
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: to do for eternity school pickup?
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Ah, And it's thirty fucking five degree in there's no
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: air on.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: It's crazy, But anyway, I picked the kids up, I
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: went down to the main road. I had to pick
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: it up later than usual because he was doing an
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: after school care thing. So I picked up oscar headed
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: down the main road. Three lanes bus lane, two regular lanes.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: School zones are over at this point. The person in
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: front of me was driving very slowly. Some people think
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: you got to drive thirty in the forty zone like
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: they're going to get de Merit points back, like, come on, mate,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: hit the speed. But it was past that anyway. So
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: it's seventy usually on that part of the road. Yeah,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: it's decent streaming drop. It's a big stretch too. But
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: and I was like, God, this person is infuriated because
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: they were also not paying attention, so you could tell
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: that they were looking at something else as well. And
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: I had the kid in the car and I thought,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to nip into the bus. I had
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: to get around him because they were they are clearly
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: not competent to drive. So and when I went past,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: I could see they were looking at BCIR for something
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: on driving pass I like, oh, I could use a
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: new new tent. You could use a new driving license
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: for starters. Anyway, I thank you really quick whipped back
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: into that lane in front of that person undertaking. I
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: did the undertake, which in the bus don't we don't condone.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: You're allowed on the bus lane for certain things, but.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: If someone's going more than half under the limit, you
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: get to undertake.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Yes. Anyway, the lights pulled up at the lights and
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: a bus pulls up next to me, and I see
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: this hand out of the bus window when you can
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: picture this, I was like, what the fuck is going
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: to doing? Is he cleaned his window or something. It's
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: trying to get my attention. Put the window down and
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: let's just say I wasn't in the mood. Let's start
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: this with that. I put the window down and lean
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: over to the passenger side. I was like, yeah, like
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: what do you want And he was like, oh, the
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: bus lane is not for overtaking, and he did get
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: me when I was not in the mood, and I said,
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: I said, I didn't know you're a police officer as
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: well as a bus drip.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Witch.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Very clever, very good from you, thank you and half
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: and it was just and I blank stared at him
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: like with nothing. I didn't you know reaction. Usually I'm
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: like I'll hit you with a few different things. I
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: just thought this is enough. And he looked at me
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: and he was like, it's dangerous. And I said, well,
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: your light's gone green. You're holding everyone up, so thanks
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: for the feedback, and put the window off and he
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: was just like shuts by, shots by. Anyway, we're going
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: and oscars in the car inside, Oscars in the car
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: and he goes, what was that? I said, hey, ask you.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: I said, oh, do you know how I tell you
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: to mind your own business? That's what happens when you
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: don't mind your own business. And he was like getting
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: made a food off. He's like, well done, sir. Anyway,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: I kept going and I cheered me right up. I
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: was just so I was in a bad mood victory.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: I just thought it was worth my you know it
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: was it wasn't illegal. I did chat GTPT see if
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: it was illegal, and it's legal driving the bus lane
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: for a couple hundred meters if you make it a turn,
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: I'm calling an undertake overtake hill.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: So I think it's great.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: So am I in the wrong? Did I do the
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: right thing?
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: No?
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: I think I will go into battle for you and
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: defend you to my last breath.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I think like I didn't if I impeded
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: the bus fair but he was hundreds of meters behind,
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: and I've just gone whack and moved on with my line.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: If you hopped out of the car and you uppercutted.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Him, that was if he wanted to have a crack.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: But I think like it's harmless joke. It's a war
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: of words, which was one.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he would have driven off thinking I'm
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: going to rethink my whole life.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not driving buses anymore.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not stopping and giving people road rules, and.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: So shout out to all of those who work in
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: public transport because it's a tough.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Job out there.

  Speaker 3: They ran at us with their questions and we had
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: many questions. We can't go through all of them because

  Speaker 1: to talk about? And Ash was like, well, we won't
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: do it.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: No, no, to be bare. It was three messages in
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: a row and that's what got me going, and I
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: was like, what if it was like one message, well constructed,
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: no problems. It felt like an interrogation he got. He
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: caught me off guard because both kids are really painful
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: getting out of the house yesterday after you left, and
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: he caught me off guard and I was like, what
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: am I being interrogated?
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: I just said, what would would you like to talk about?
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: That's not how you would have asked that question. I said,

• 25:42
  Speaker 3: I said, checking, no, you didn't what would you like
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: to talk about?
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: And Ash was like, well we're not.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Also it was followed by when I mentioned should we
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: get April. On the other day, only Vic responded and
• 25:56

  Speaker 3: Listeners of this show, the dotors, the dotors, as we
• 26:54

  Speaker 3: what is it like being married to a since sational
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: TV star.
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: Slash podcaster slash social media were just TV start.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Well, when people ask what does Ash do what do
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: you what do you apply with? Good?
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: Question pends who I'm talking to. It's someone who will
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: understand social media. I'll say content creator, never influencer, never,
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: because I know.
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: It's a yeah, yeah, I haven't influenced anywhere. She had
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: never dropped the TV star.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: It's not that'd be a stretch. Well, TV stars out
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: there to be a fend.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: You were on TV.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, one time, that's enough.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: That's enough for a start account. I think it was
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: like three years ago.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: We started doing the podcast it'll be it'll be coming
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: to sorry, but who's counting.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: At the time, Ash was working full time and it's
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: nine to five. Yeah, he was then in the middle
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: the transition out of that ninety five. Thankfully he got
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: that redundancy. He is now a full time content creator.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: What is that like for you?
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: Positive and negative? I want to start with? Which one
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: should I start with? I'll start with start with the negative. No,
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: I'll start with the positive. I think positive is like,
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: it's finally so great to see you thrive in a job.
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: Thank you, I think, and just like the amazing opportunities
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: you get we get as a family. I feel very
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: grateful for like all the experiences and whatnot. The negative
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: side of it is when you turn around and you say, oh,
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: I've got to go to Vegas next week.
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: Sorry, the last minute chaos for me.
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: I obviously I'm very organized in the last minute trips
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: and stuff, and he doesn't know where he's going to
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: be in next next month.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: So I love that part of it.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: I love the being content creator is like perfectly crafted
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: for people.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: With add on.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it is because the chaos is I like
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: the thought of I don't know what today is going
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: to bring you, and like you never know what you
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: are going to get that day. And it's like, oh,
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: he's a paid job. You go go to Vegas, You're like, oh,
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: I'm going to preak my word. And then whenever say
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: I've got to go somewhere is like getting paid. I'm like, yep,
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: I was the first question. If I wasn't, It's like
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: it has to be the best opportunity.
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: I think you've used, as well as something like the
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: lines of it's in the contract.
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: I've got to go, oh.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's because I've made him in there.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: I'll show the contract I have.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: I have pulled that one out too. Yeah yeah, yeah,
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: But to be fair. I am way more present when
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: I'm here than having a job or I have to
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: go to the city and stuff.
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: That's also a very big positive, like you being around
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: a lot.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the drop off who you were a little bit
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: nervous about, as you would be. I guess like missing
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: the security of a nine to five. Was there any
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: point where you kind of like the nerves went away
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: and you're like, oh, no, he's doing really well here.
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: No, I'm still forever I feel like, well, no, I feel.
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: Like you couldn't say something, do something, and then just
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: amount of time, I know who you are, so I
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: feel like there's always nurse.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: We've had Ashon muzzled on the podcast for a long time.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: We don't much better for the rest of it.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: He's a good guy.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, one of the top guy.
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: Thank you, only says good things.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: Speaking of Vegas, I'll be honest, I was a little
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: bit judgmental when ash said, we're going to go to Vegas.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: We're going to the Formula one. We've got these really
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: exciting things planned. It's all for April's birthday. How was
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: the trip for you?
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: It was actually amazing.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: I am very contruct I was.
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: Very impressed obviously, Like I.
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: Do a lot of the booking, the planning of trips
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: and whatnot.
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: As we know, Ashton has dyslexia.
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so this dog has really driving me fucking crazy,
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: tap dancing under the table, showbiz.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Let me dance, guys. I want to be a star too.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: There we go. Just for everyone that's listening and watching,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: I picked the dog up.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: This is panting, is not?
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: It is alright? Sorry Vegas?
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I was. Actually it was great.
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: It was I think what worked in my favor was
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: that we stuck on Sydney time because I'm usually like
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: nine pm I want to go to bed, and I
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: was worried that.
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: He'd be like, no, we got to stay out, blah
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: blah blah.
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: But it worked in our favor that we said on
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: Sydney time, so I could act like I was a
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: party girer and stayed up till like three am.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Did you have any say on the itinery?
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: No, no, which is kind of nice. I think sometimes
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: April usually organizers all actually said all the family holidays,
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: so it was nice for her to just put a
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: feed up and do a shipload of walk.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: I did ask to like double check what name you
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: used on my passport?
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like she can't trust me. I was like, I
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: got offended.
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: I was like, well you would openly admit you've got dyslexia.
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: So I was waiting for my name to be spelt wrong.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: I can't do fucking numbers. And I blame Laura for this.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: But we've got a call about Poppy's birth certificate and
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: I put the month wrong.
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: Oh gosh.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: And I was like, Laura, what do you meaning of
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: the month wrong?
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I went too early, put nine instead of ten.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: Right, okay, right, right, Well that's easy, especially like the
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: passport form is stressful.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: I don't America as well.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think one wrong stroke of the pen.
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: And you're out.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: You did it. She did her own stuff. Yeah, you
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: won't trust me that.
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: The questioning got intense when you go through the customs
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: and the security guys.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: What do you do? What do you do for work?
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: Are you doing here?
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Like what did your husband doing?
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: You're like, and.
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: Then you do the fingerprint thing.
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, do you remember Like back in the day, I
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: get really sweaty, palms, nervous, so still they never can
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: like it doesn't work because my finger is just sweaty and.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: They're like, oh, she's nervous.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: We were saying they're so strict for you to get in,
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: but when you leave and they're like, yet, when I
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: was going in because I've got writing on me on
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: my hands and stuff, They're like, what's this thing that
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: I mean? I'm like, Bro says love you, okay, just chill.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Everyone's gang affiliated, and it's like, yeah, I'm part of
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: the Toddler gang. It's like, for God's sake, anyway.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Reuben wants to know who wears the pants in your relationship.
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: I think if you asked either of us this would
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: answer ourselves.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm no, I'm going.
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: For good books here, we'd each say ourselves.
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: Because I feel like there's certain times that you are
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: very stubborn.
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: If I want to do something and you're.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Saying no, I'm not, just proves it, Yes I am.
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: So I feel like, yeah, stubborn McGee over here like
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: to have a say, but I yeah.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: I just got an nickname for the podcast.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say in different areas of the house
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: for sure, like in different you know, I think sometimes
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: I pull rank and just like I'm pulling rank, it
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: means nothing, but I think it means something and that's
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: probably about it, and I just do it anyway. But yeah,
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty stubborn.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: Yea, I feel like from an outsider's perspective, and obviously
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: I spent a lot of time with Ash, we don't
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: have the pleasure April spending a huge amount of time
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: with each other.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: But I feel like the pants are shared.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like there's no like, yeah, look, there's
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: certain things that I wouldn't cross her, for sure, but
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: there's go on no, But yeah, I would agree with April.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: I think I'm pretty stubborn.
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: From Charlotte, she wants to know, what is the dumbest
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: argument you guys have ever had of a parenting.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm all for an argument.
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: Well, I feel like we're pretty good these days. We
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: like to I'll be like, lower your voice, let's talk.
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: But back in the day, I think like one of
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: the dumbest things would be with probably like when Oscar
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: was like brand newborn six weeks old, would blame each
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: other about his bad traits from you, that's from you.
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: Six weeks old.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: Vividly, I vividly remember I said once dumb. I said
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: that I was like, how many coffees did you have today?
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: Because he wouldn't sleep and she was breastfeeding and she had,
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: like to be fair, she would only have one. But
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: I said that and she said no, no, no, this is
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: it true. Yeah, but she said no, no, no, this is
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: from your shit genetics. But very mind we were both
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: very sleep.
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: Deprived in the post part of Yeah, it was a.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Really tough we know, it's like the trenches, as you
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: would say. So I think after that it was pretty
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: much like, Oh that happened because we were both so tired.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: It wasn't like a serious wasn't It.
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: Was an argument? And I think that's the dumbest argument.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's got to be up there.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, is it like toned? Do you guys have you know,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: like if you asked for something and you go, I
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: don't know where it is? Is that that you guys off?
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: No? I think April would she she'll just like overly
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: clean the house that she wouldn't thinks that she wouldn't
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: usually do when she's got the ships and I can
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: pick up on it. I'm like, look at you go
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: like and I'll point it out. But I think I'm
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: pretty I'm pretty moody. I'm pretty Yeah, up and down,
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: so like, oh, I can tell, So I'll be the
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: first admit that. Yeah, sometimes my tone and my attitude
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: can can set April off. But sometimes she'll know and
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: she'll she'll be like like yesterday when I, yes, I
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: wasn't in the afternoon, I was not in a good mood.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: I think my meds just made me crash yesterday and
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: April do you want to talk? Like she knew, and
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: she like, do you want to talk about that? Not really?
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: And she just left it And that was smart because
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: I think there wasn't anything wrong.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: That's a trick question, like when Laura's like, do you
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: want to talk about it? And I'm like, it's gonna
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: make it more of an argument.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Because there wasn't anything. It was just I could not
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: get out of this and I didn't know there was
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: nothing about it, and I think it was it was
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: just meds.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I think I'm gonna get picks, obviously, but sometimes
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: you just sorry. Sometimes you just getting a grubby mood.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Me like.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Last weekend, I was just in a shitty mood.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: You can't be happy all the time. You've got to
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: balance it out at some point, like you, I mean,
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: you've got to like, you got to have the loads
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: to appreciate the highest form that you go. Put it
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: on t shirt, write it down, write that down to him.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: No, okay, last time I was grumpy, Laura was like,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: can you just cheer up? Okay, you've been grumpy all day.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I got like a ship coffee and I
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: was like, coffee is not very good.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Sorry, it's equivalent. It's equivalent to when like we as
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: men go we relaxed, and it's like, oh fuck, And
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: look I have said that a bunch of times, and
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: it's mainly because it's just my personality to be a
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: cheeky ship and I think like that's the equivalent of that.
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, next question, this might start an argument, Oh what
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: what would be your pet peeve?
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: About?
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: Ashn't have one.
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: Your pet peeve?
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: No, you're okay, I think I've got two. It's very minor,
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: like it's just annoying things. You're someone who will not
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: replace the toilet roll?
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: Is that a pet peeve?
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Bullshit?
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: That's a lie.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Well, then we spoke about earlier.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: I feel attacked.
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: No, okay, do you know what it is?
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: You don't?
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: So if you take the last roll out because I
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: stack fresh ones in the cupboard in the bathroom, OK,
• 38:33
  Speaker 6: ready to quickly? You know you stuck on toilet, there's
• 38:35
  Speaker 6: no whip one out. You're very much won't replace the pile.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: I won't replace the replacements.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: Yes, I feel like there's always two people in every household,
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: like Laura is. I feel like I'm attacking Laura. But
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: Laura will just put the new one on top of
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: the empty one.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: Infuriating, right, Yeah, is that one of those you gonna
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: like pinch both sides to get it off or is
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: it just slide on, slide off that, Laura, Come on?
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: And then your other one is which I appreciate you
• 39:11
  Speaker 6: taking the garbage out, but then I go to put
• 39:14
  Speaker 6: garbage back in and the bags.
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: I thought it's something sloppy, and you've and you're like,
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: I've got to fucking clean out the empty bucket.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say that I thought that I would
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: take it, you would replenish it. That's how I thought.
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: Maybe just tell me next time, communicate it.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: When you don't leave it, it's going to be real heated. No,
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: it's not that's fair. I think that if that's all
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: that's wrong with me, I'm fine with that.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I can ask this question?
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: Love it for it?
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: But has I askeport you and your lingerie?
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: No one asks that you're asking?
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: How dare I have any interest in a hobby?
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: God?
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: What's considered lately?
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: Bring it out.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: Within the year? How long ago? There? I have to
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: stop myself from buying more, and that's a problem I've got.
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I definitely got more launderie than days of the week.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: Nice, there you go.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: I want to get into that from my relationships, the questions.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: Maybe Christmas, I'll get you some for Christmas?
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: Is it weird if I bout your wife launder right?
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: It makes it better?
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: Has ashes ADHD diagnosis change the relationship at all?
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 40:32
  Speaker 6: I think it's definitely improved it. It's just a more
• 40:35
  Speaker 6: understanding about how his brain works and what he does.
• 40:38
  Speaker 6: And then I just feel like you being on meds
• 40:41
  Speaker 6: has completely changed your productiveness.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Really.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, the crash is bad, but it's not as
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: often as what's the crashes in so like it depends
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: how quickly my body metabolizes it that day. If my
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: body metabolizes it faster than usual and I haven't caught it,
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: and then it's a like yes, say, I was like
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: I just couldn't get out of it, Like I couldn't
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: get out of the slump, like you think like crack
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: addicts they're like, oh crack, this is amazing, and they're like,
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: I don't have any crack left in me. And it's
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: like the plunge, the plummet and a lot of the
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: time it's not that bad. Yes, it was just I
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: don't know what it was. It was one of those
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: days where I was I think I was just physically
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: exhausted as well, just from the heat and everything over
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: that my body metabolized it way quicker than normal and
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: it was obvious, and I like, I'm not gonna sider
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: to say it wasn't. It was definitely obvious. I'm much
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: better today for now, Nah, but most days sweet, but
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: the production is like you know when I call you
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: up and it's like I'm I'm on speed as it
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: was like around the house.
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: Imagine that, Yeah, get shit done better.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: Did Were you surprised with the diagnosis?
• 41:50
  Speaker 6: Not surprised, No, not at all, shock shocker. Surprised with
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: like the medication effect?
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: And was it instant or did it take a while
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: to hard to say?
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: I kind of remember when you started.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: Men's I don't think it was completely instant. I think
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: you sort of like anything, like, you've got to start
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: with a dose, right, and it's going to be there's
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: going to be lower than what you would need so
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: that it's not dangerous. And like even this morning, I
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: had to go back and get my heart checked again
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: today so that I can continue, because obviously it elevate
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: your heart rate, and my family's got heart disease, artery disease,
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: anything else to do with your heart. So I've got
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: to continually be checked every few months so that I
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: don't kill myself with medication. So I think the first
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: little while was sort of like take taking less and
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: then when you go for another consultant, you can you
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: sort of they sort of break it down for you,
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: and it's like, well, you're obviously going to metabolize it quicker,
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: you need a high dose, and you might need something
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: to top you up throughout the day, which I do
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: need just because I'm quite highly strong, and you know
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: what I mean, I'm sort of always on the move
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: a little bit, like especially up here, so it was
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: like I definitely needed to be topped up. But yeah,
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: I would say it started to get once I'd had
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: that second sort of consultation about just started you could
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: I could feel the difference.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: And also good when you're busy with work, you can
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: just you know, dip into his stash and sash any
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: misuse of prescriptions.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: But did you have to.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: What's your favorite tattoo on ash? And what's your least favorite? Ah?
• 43:33
  Speaker 5: Or favorite has to be mine?
• 43:35

  Speaker 3: You must have been devastated when he came back and
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: he didn't have a full horse tattoo?
• 43:55
  Speaker 5: Do you have some weird sword or something?
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: Do you?
• 44:00

• 44:02
  Speaker 2: I got in Perth? Oh? Yeah, the stupid one, the
• 44:06

• 46:28
  Speaker 3: of the struggles that he's had with his parenting in

  Speaker 3: it day and day out.
• 46:35

• 46:43
  Speaker 6: the family. You hold us together. You're the backbone, You're
• 46:46

• 46:49
  Speaker 6: needs to get done, you do it when you're not around.
• 46:52
  Speaker 6: And I'm solo parenting, I'm way more stressed because the

  Speaker 6: I think you're doing amazing and I appreciate everything you do.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I do.
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: I am very hard on myself. I'm always thinking of
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: like different ways to do things instead of just I'm

  Speaker 2: so sick of yelling at my kids. Man, I'm so
• 47:12

• 47:15
  Speaker 2: And I've said that to the kids. I said, I
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: hate that every time I need something done, I've got
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: to yell because then when it's done and you guys
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: aren't here, it's sad for me. So yeah, I'm pretty
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: hard on myself because I want to be able to
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: do things differently. But you know, you know what it's like.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: It's like sometimes you just need to get it. It
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: needs needs to be done, so you've got to, you know,
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: pull out the old voice, praise voice, and yeah, it does.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: It does hit me harder than people think that.
• 47:39
  Speaker 6: I feel like I remind you as well. I'm like,

  Speaker 6: we're not the only ones yelling at our kids. It's fine,
• 47:43

• 47:44
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, And I just I just hate I
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: just hate it, man, Like I used to be like.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: I sometimes it's a bit of a reset for yourself
• 47:51

• 47:54
  Speaker 1: parenting and I was like doing great then this morning.
