- 5:20Speaker 2: What?
- 5:20Speaker 1: What did you fly?
- 5:21Speaker 2: You're going to feel really bad when I finished this.
- 5:24Speaker 2: You're going to feel really bad. This bullying needs to stop.
- 5:27Speaker 1: I'm not bullying.
- 5:27Speaker 2: What do you call it?
- 5:28Speaker 1: That questioning, interrogating, pointing out the facts.
- 5:32Speaker 2: I did, in fact fly Philippine Airlines business the cheapest
- 5:36Speaker 2: that I could find as a little reward to myself
- 5:40Speaker 2: for getting to one hundred and fifteen days of sobriety. Fair, fair, okay,
- 5:45Speaker 2: because I thought I've earned this.
- 5:47Speaker 1: That was it.
- 5:47Speaker 2: But the rest of the time I stayed in capsules.
- 5:49Speaker 2: It was like twenty dollars a night from his I
- 5:51Speaker 2: stayed in a love hotel, Matthew, which we'll get to.
- 5:54Speaker 2: But yeah, business class and it was lovely, but I
- 5:56Speaker 2: had to fly an extra. I got the cheapest one,
- 5:59Speaker 2: and I instead of being a ten hour journey, seventeen
- 6:02Speaker 2: hours worth it.
- 6:04Speaker 1: Wow. Well, I'm just saying it must be nice can

- 6:15Speaker 1: Yeah you want the shoes? No, no, no, no, I
- 6:19Speaker 1: just I spotted the new shoes.
- 6:20Speaker 2: And then you're like, are they women's shoes? Sorry, but
- 6:22Speaker 2: bullying is relentless. You're lucky we don't have a hate apartment.
- 6:25Speaker 1: I remember when we first met. You know, you're eating
- 6:28Speaker 1: food out of the garbage bin.
- 6:30Speaker 2: Like, I know what, I'm a fun time guy. I mean,
- 6:32Speaker 2: I'm still doing that stuff.
- 6:33Speaker 1: And then now you're like, oh god, tell you what's
- 6:36Speaker 1: really annoying getting a super yacht service. Oh god, it's
- 6:39Speaker 1: so expensive?
- 6:40Speaker 2: Bit rich?
- 6:41Speaker 1: Hard to keep it? I mean, bit rich, isn't it? Yeah,
- 6:44Speaker 1: it's not what it is. I'm not flying business class.
- 6:46Speaker 1: I'm here appealing to our listeners with relatable content.
- 6:51Speaker 2: I don't appreciate being attacked.
- 6:53Speaker 1: Ashes talking about how expensive rolexes are.
- 6:57Speaker 2: I've earned it. Okay, I how dare I treat my
- 7:02Speaker 2: I flew economy over?
- 7:03Speaker 1: Does that make it any better? No?
- 7:05Speaker 2: And it was the cheapest I could possibly do. They
- 7:08Speaker 2: pretty much were like, lie on the floor that was
- 7:09Speaker 2: my flatbed?
- 7:10Speaker 1: May I ask the highlight and the low light of Japan.
- 7:13Speaker 2: I was going to get into this a little later
- 7:14Speaker 2: as that.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Okay, oh sorry, yeah, of course sorry.
- 7:17Speaker 2: I've moved it from housekeeping as it moved okay, okay,
- 7:20Speaker 2: to the listeners out there, it was in housekeeping. I
- 7:23Speaker 2: thought it was more important than that because Vick's like,
- 7:26Speaker 2: you know what, this is shitty trick because we can
- 7:28Speaker 2: go to housekeeping.
- 7:29Speaker 1: People haven't people have started to notice that housekeeping is
- 7:36Speaker 1: getting a little bit loose. We have picked up on
- 7:39Speaker 1: those comments and here's a jingle. We will tighten up
- 7:43Speaker 1: housekeeping it really dare they? Laura had a fortieth She
- 7:48Speaker 1: did she looks great? If she does look great? Really good,
- 7:51Speaker 1: really good. I posted a video what happened to you?
- 7:54Speaker 1: I'm sick at the moment, bro just all the time.
- 7:57Speaker 1: And also I'll stop.
- 8:00Speaker 2: Someone did can we put it to rest?
- 8:02Speaker 1: Ye?
- 8:02Speaker 2: Please?
- 8:02Speaker 1: Okay?
- 8:02Speaker 2: Okay?
- 8:03Speaker 1: Someone did say at the party, people are arriving and
- 8:05Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I'm very cold.
- 8:07Speaker 2: I realized it was a dress up party. Come on,
- 8:09Speaker 2: last one, last one, last one.
- 8:12Speaker 1: That's it. You're just like the general who's like, let's
- 8:14Speaker 1: called peace. And then I'm like, thank you, and I
- 8:16Speaker 1: turned around. You ship in the bag. So people are
- 8:21Speaker 1: arriving at the party and I was saying, being polite,
- 8:25Speaker 1: I would say, don't hug me, I'm a bit sick.
- 8:27Speaker 1: And one person goes again born she was like, you
- 8:34Speaker 1: were sick last time I was here, and that was
- 8:36Speaker 1: six months ago. I was like, I'm doing the best
- 8:38Speaker 1: I can.
- 8:39Speaker 2: What's wrong now? What's wrong with you? Now? I got
- 8:41Speaker 2: Poppy's coughs, just lingering, isn't that?
- 8:43Speaker 1: Yeah? And then because I worked so hard painting a
- 8:46Speaker 1: fucking fence.
- 8:48Speaker 2: Oh I did great technique. I was going to say
- 8:50Speaker 2: that a lot of.
- 8:51Speaker 1: People came at me if you didn't follow my stories.
- 8:54Speaker 1: I painted a pine fence, the back fence. The back fence,
- 8:57Speaker 1: i'd say seven meters. I thought it was going to
- 8:59Speaker 1: take me like half an hour. Took me like five hours.
- 9:02Speaker 2: It's quite course, the timber, very coarse, does take time.
- 9:06Speaker 2: Spray gun, yeah, but then you've got to spend this
- 9:08Speaker 2: is the thing. Okay. Two things either get stuck into
- 9:12Speaker 2: the painting okay, and there's less prep time, or there's
- 9:15Speaker 2: more prep time and you spray it, so you either
- 9:17Speaker 2: way you're gonna have it comes out in the wash.
- 9:20Speaker 2: Well said thank you, not in the not in the
- 9:22Speaker 2: literal wash, because paints really hard to get out of
- 9:24Speaker 2: your T shirt.
- 9:25Speaker 1: Correct. Correct. But the party was good. It's one of
- 9:29Speaker 1: those things that organizing it. Don't tell Laura this. I
- 9:32Speaker 1: was like, fucking hell, you know, trying to get.

- 9:52Speaker 2: And I was like helloh.
- 9:57Speaker 1: And with that babysitter, she said what time do you
- 9:59Speaker 1: want to stay until? And I said, look, ten o'clock
- 10:01Speaker 1: at the latest, and she goes, just no, I can
- 10:04Speaker 1: stay later if you need. And I was like, no, no, no,
- 10:06Speaker 1: ten o'clock. We'll all be wrapped up. And she's like, okay, okay.
- 10:10Speaker 1: So Rara is Laura's old to ego and Rara came
- 10:15Speaker 1: out on Saturday night nice, and she had a lot

- 10:35Speaker 2: Oh, by the teens, the local teens.
- 10:37Speaker 1: Yeah, And then one of the guests started barking.
- 10:41Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, and they're just like
- 10:43Speaker 2: singing duel at the top of it.
- 10:47Speaker 1: And then not to point this out, sorry Laura, she
- 10:50Speaker 1: couldn't get out of bed on Sunday, which is very fair.

- 12:03Speaker 1: Could have been thirty, could have been a.
- 12:05Speaker 2: Hundreds, so it would have been quite noisy.
- 12:08Speaker 1: Yeah, a bit noisy.
- 12:10Speaker 2: Convenient that your neighbor Ronda passed away a week before
- 12:13Speaker 2: the party, and she is renowned for noise, complaining, how
- 12:17Speaker 2: dare you?
- 12:18Speaker 1: Well, how dare you?
- 12:20Speaker 2: I'm not speculating.
- 12:21Speaker 1: Anything speaking ill of those who have passed I'm.
- 12:23Speaker 2: Not speaking ill of her.
- 12:25Speaker 1: I think I've done that.
- 12:26Speaker 2: I think that this is suspicious.
- 12:28Speaker 1: You think I loved her. I loved her like a
- 12:30Speaker 1: family member.
- 12:31Speaker 2: Oh yeah, right, what about when you gave the kids
- 12:34Speaker 2: ice cream right at bedtime.
- 12:36Speaker 1: But never did?
- 12:39Speaker 2: Don't mate, don't try and out memory.
- 12:43Speaker 1: Tell you what it is always better than yours. Sorry
- 12:46Speaker 1: about that. He is a little bit handy having those
- 12:48Speaker 1: extra bins next door.
- 12:50Speaker 2: It's all stacking up now that.
- 12:53Speaker 1: I'm with you, I mean, it's am I a bad person?
- 12:56Speaker 3: Are you just going to go on and take her
- 12:57Speaker 3: food as well?
- 12:59Speaker 1: Let's move on.
- 12:59Speaker 2: You did say you called the cops, said, what are
- 13:01Speaker 2: they doing with all the food?
- 13:03Speaker 1: I was going to clear a fridge out?
- 13:05Speaker 2: I bet you were a good guy.
- 13:09Speaker 1: I'm a nice guy.
- 13:17Speaker 2: There's fucking crumbs everywhere. The cops have just follow it
- 13:20Speaker 2: back to your house, and you're like, you're in Nana's room, mama,
- 13:24Speaker 2: And that was like, wasn't fucking me.
- 13:30Speaker 3: Very good?
- 13:31Speaker 2: So yeah, okay, let me ask to get this there
- 13:33Speaker 2: go on. Originally was Ronder invited, No, this is stacking O.
- 13:39Speaker 1: Call the police.
- 13:40Speaker 2: You haven't murder at her? No you didn't. It was
- 13:42Speaker 2: an accident. She pooped herself to death.
- 13:47Speaker 1: Oh my god, Ash, you said something a couple of
- 13:49Speaker 1: weeks ago, which has got a lot of people very confused.
- 13:52Speaker 2: I say a lot of things. I'm gonna be honest,
- 13:54Speaker 2: so you're gonna have a jog my memory.
- 13:55Speaker 1: You had a crack at me for the fact that
- 13:58Speaker 1: my children have a cold sausage in their lunch box.
- 14:01Speaker 1: And I just for the record, want to make sure
- 14:04Speaker 1: that all the parents and non parents who listen, who
- 14:07Speaker 1: may enjoy a cold, barbecued bit of meat the following day,
- 14:12Speaker 1: that is one hundred percent completely normal.
- 14:15Speaker 2: You've missed this completely. I like a cold sausage the
- 14:17Speaker 2: next day, okay, But I just think it traveling to
- 14:21Speaker 2: school with a child.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Why what's the difference? If you can eat a sausage,
- 14:25Speaker 1: can the sausage can only be eaten in the kitchen?
- 14:29Speaker 1: Is like working your sausage.
- 14:30Speaker 2: I think once the sausage is cooked, it shouldn't leave
- 14:32Speaker 2: where it was cooked. It's just eaten.
- 14:34Speaker 1: It can't travel. A cook sausage cannot travel.
- 14:36Speaker 2: No, that is just it's just the way I feel.
- 14:39Speaker 2: That's my That's how I feel about what has happened.
- 14:42Speaker 3: Trauma.
- 14:42Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, talk about let's get back into my trauma.
- 14:46Speaker 2: How much time we got.
- 14:48Speaker 1: I just think kids need the protein, don't get me wrong.
- 14:51Speaker 2: Yeah, but like that, you can have that sausage at home.
- 14:53Speaker 1: I will say it was a bit weird when I
- 14:55Speaker 1: was a kid. My mum used to wrap it in
- 14:57Speaker 1: our foil and squirt tomato sauce and then wrapped the
- 15:01Speaker 1: sausage and the sauce together in the alfoil, and that
- 15:03Speaker 1: was a bit I did like the sauce, but it
- 15:06Speaker 1: was like it was like having a bloody dick in
- 15:08Speaker 1: your hand.
- 15:08Speaker 2: Yeah, Like did you not like maybe put next to it?
- 15:12Speaker 1: Well, I don't want to sit there with like a
- 15:14Speaker 1: smallus board my sausage of like, ok, I must here,
- 15:17Speaker 1: I've got my bubby sauce here. I'm like dipping on.
- 15:20Speaker 2: That's actually more normal than unwrapping a fully sourced up
- 15:23Speaker 2: sausage and you're just like a slipping out of your hands,
- 15:26Speaker 2: Like what sorry, I can't keep hold the sausage.
- 15:31Speaker 1: Kids in there with the venimite sandwiches and I'm just
- 15:33Speaker 1: there with a big old brut ferst fucking sauce.
- 15:43Speaker 2: Where's an end? Does' what I mean?
- 15:44Speaker 1: Like my mum hated me. So she's like.

- 19:44Speaker 1: crazy business that's going on. In the group chat for
- 19:47Speaker 1: parents at school, no, I'm not trying to dig code
- 19:51Speaker 1: information from children. Late last night, one parent writes in
- 19:55Speaker 1: the KINDI group chat and says, did you guys get
- 19:58Speaker 1: the message from your child about what to bring the
- 19:59Speaker 1: school tomorrow? And parents are going, what what are you
- 20:03Speaker 1: talking about? And they're like, I'm trying to figure out.
- 20:06Speaker 1: I'm getting like little I'm trying to decode the messages
- 20:09Speaker 1: from my child bring something to school that is sentimental okay,
- 20:13Speaker 1: And people are like, I actually heard that you're meant
- 20:16Speaker 1: to bring a photo to school, and sound's like, okay, photo,
- 20:18Speaker 1: So she can't send. So parents now collectively late at night,
- 20:25Speaker 1: I'm trying to decode everyone's bringing forward what information, what
- 20:29Speaker 1: nugget they have from their own child, being like it
- 20:32Speaker 1: needs to be something that is like a family heirloom.
- 20:34Speaker 1: Everyone's like okay at that to the mix of clues
- 20:37Speaker 1: wrapping it out. I'm like, wake up, Lola, and I'm like, Lola,
- 20:41Speaker 1: what did what did you teacher say about we have
- 20:43Speaker 1: to bring to school? And she goes, I can't remember,
- 20:45Speaker 1: like it, I.
- 20:46Speaker 2: Don't remember March today.
- 20:48Speaker 1: I fucking don't.
- 20:49Speaker 2: I could just I could just picture after dinner entertainment,
- 20:51Speaker 2: everyone trying to decode something a child has said.
- 20:54Speaker 1: But also, I mean, the teachers are hard working, but
- 20:57Speaker 1: they printed out You can't give a child information expect
- 21:00Speaker 1: me to retain that information and regurgitate it at the
- 21:03Speaker 1: end of school.
- 21:04Speaker 2: They need like a notice board that gives you a notification.
- 21:07Speaker 2: I need that in the classroom. They're like, okay, don't
- 21:09Speaker 2: forget to tell your parents that you need to bring
- 21:12Speaker 2: a fairly heirloom bang notification. And then when Lola comes,
- 21:16Speaker 2: she's like, we've got to take something to school. I
- 21:19Speaker 2: was like, what, I don't know something old man your time, Shane.
- 21:24Speaker 1: So we sent Nana to school this morning.
- 21:26Speaker 2: Perfect and I like, not that old, Sorry Nana? Sorry?
- 21:33Speaker 1: Have you had that with Oscar's Oscar? Like, did you
- 21:35Speaker 1: ever have like, Dad, I need to bring like something
- 21:37Speaker 1: alive tomorrow, an animal? A pet? Does he ever have?
- 21:41Speaker 2: Imagine take your pet to school day? Like if that
- 21:43Speaker 2: was real, like full full school of pet that be.
- 21:47Speaker 1: Can't have that in rerural schools.
- 21:48Speaker 2: Well there's only three people who live out there. So yeah,
- 21:51Speaker 2: April deals with all that. She's part of the But
- 21:53Speaker 2: I haven't had to decode yet, but I'm looking.
- 21:55Speaker 1: Forward to it. To the decoding.
- 21:57Speaker 2: It'd be mazy that I'll have to decode for because
- 21:59Speaker 2: Oscar come shut up and he's pretty good on detail,
- 22:03Speaker 2: too much detail, And she's like, eh, no, what does
- 22:08Speaker 2: that mean?
- 22:11Speaker 1: Just really quick, if when I see your funny video
- 22:13Speaker 1: going to the Facebook group, there is dash cam footage, yeah,
- 22:17Speaker 1: of a car crash happening. I think everyone's okay and
- 22:20Speaker 1: we're talking about gray hairs and our ballsack and.
- 22:23Speaker 2: The audio in the background of it the gray hairs
- 22:26Speaker 2: right now that they're streaming through my.
- 22:30Speaker 1: Gray hairs on my balls out gray hairs and my cat.
- 22:34Speaker 1: The grains are coming sticking fast, which as his car
- 22:37Speaker 1: goes to a red light and crashes it to other cars. Again,
- 22:40Speaker 1: not funny. If anyone anyone's hurt. Let's hope that everyone
- 22:43Speaker 1: is fine.
- 22:44Speaker 2: I heard the driver lost their ballsack. No, yeah, I
- 22:47Speaker 2: hope everyone's fine too. But that was very fine.
- 22:51Speaker 1: She was like, it was so awkward when I had
- 22:52Speaker 1: to send in the footage as evidence.
- 22:54Speaker 2: So that's out there, that's in a police Filey. I
- 22:57Speaker 2: love that we made it. Yeah, to do is get
- 23:00Speaker 2: someone named after me and breaking news.
- 23:04Speaker 1: What do we got? What do you got for?
- 23:05Speaker 2: Okay?
- 23:06Speaker 1: Well.
- 23:06Speaker 3: A new study from leading sports scientists has found parents
- 23:09Speaker 3: can burn up to three thousand calories getting their kids
- 23:12Speaker 3: dressed for school. The study of a thousand families found
- 23:15Speaker 3: that the endless pleading, chasing, shouting, and rushing around after
- 23:19Speaker 3: kids can increase parents' energy levels comparable to running a marathon.
- 23:24Speaker 2: And the more kids you have, Maddie are.
- 23:26Speaker 1: Going to say, comparable to running a marathon.
- 23:28Speaker 2: You say so, the research says, oh, sorry.
- 23:32Speaker 3: Research, Yeah, this is legit from Instagram, And the more
- 23:36Speaker 3: kids you have, the more calories you burn, with families
- 23:39Speaker 3: of three or more burning over four thousand calories. But
- 23:43Speaker 3: for many, the study confirms what parents everywhere already knew.
- 23:46Speaker 3: Getting kids ready for school is an endurance sport.
- 23:49Speaker 2: Okay, if this was the case, I would be so
- 23:52Speaker 2: skinny right now.
- 23:54Speaker 1: That's steff. I'm comparable who you eat four packs of
- 23:57Speaker 1: Oreos every fucking day?
- 23:58Speaker 2: Yeah, but then if I burn, wouldn't you if you
- 24:01Speaker 2: burned three thousand calories every morning trying to get your.
- 24:03Speaker 1: Kids to look at me? I've been to the gym
- 24:05Speaker 1: in months.
- 24:06Speaker 2: I like the wording that they were like families burned
- 24:09Speaker 2: three thousand calories, so that means everyone collectively burns that amount.
- 24:12Speaker 1: I love when Ash did breaking news, he was like
- 24:15Speaker 1: he would just have the most random facts, and now
- 24:17Speaker 1: he's on the other end and he's like, let me
- 24:19Speaker 1: at Yeah.
- 24:20Speaker 2: Honestly, I just want to know where the data came from. Instagram.
- 24:23Speaker 2: Of course it's legit.
- 24:24Speaker 1: I think your heart rate would spike. My heart rate's
- 24:26Speaker 1: definitely elevated.
- 24:27Speaker 2: Three thousand calories is a lot.
- 24:30Speaker 1: How many would you burn in a day?
- 24:31Speaker 2: You would only eat like two and a half thousand
- 24:33Speaker 2: calories if you were bulking bro a capable.
- 24:37Speaker 1: There should just be gym classes out there where there's
- 24:41Speaker 1: no machines. All it is is like a child, a
- 24:44Speaker 1: random child, some school uniform, a bowl of breakfast, and
- 24:48Speaker 1: a toothbrush, and for half an hour, you're just going
- 24:50Speaker 1: to chase around the kid, be like, put your on
- 24:54Speaker 1: I hate your breakfast, brush your teeth.
- 24:56Speaker 2: I was on like a four hundred meter athletics track,
- 24:58Speaker 2: just running around around. It's like, okay, we're going to
- 25:01Speaker 2: do three laps of telling him to brush their teeth. Okay,
- 25:05Speaker 2: go Jason, this kid around. Look, I think great research, plausible.
- 25:11Speaker 3: Well I just quickly looked because obviously you're questioning my news.
- 25:15Speaker 2: Wouldn't know your research.
- 25:17Speaker 3: No, no, no, but it says running at a fast
- 25:21Speaker 3: pace for three hours burns three thousand calories. And I
- 25:24Speaker 3: have to say, from the moment my kids wake up
- 25:27Speaker 3: until the moment I dropped them off, that is about
- 25:29Speaker 3: three or four hours. And by the end I'm fucking tired.
- 25:33Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I get you, Okay, I'm just not three thousand.
- 25:36Speaker 1: I'm just going to may I may I check my garment,
- 25:40Speaker 1: opportunity to check his. I'm just going to see what
- 25:43Speaker 1: curly cut. Well, watch your sleep school calorie caraly calorie jesus.
- 25:49Speaker 2: Watch your sleep school.
- 25:50Speaker 1: Don't have a sleep schore? Eight hours last night? How much?
- 25:52Speaker 1: Rem Oh? Very good? Two hours fifty any opportunity to
- 25:57Speaker 1: talk about Okay, looking at the calorie so far? I
- 26:01Speaker 1: did Laura without the door very early. So stress is
- 26:04Speaker 1: twenty six? Whatever that means? Oh, calorie is burnt so far?
- 26:08Speaker 1: Only one and fifty nine. That's quite a lot though,
- 26:12Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah, confirming that is no gym. That is
- 26:15Speaker 1: just me getting the kids ready for school. Okay.
- 26:18Speaker 2: Your stairs in your house, yeah yeah, it must be nice.

- 26:31Speaker 1: Thank you, Vic, Thank you as well.
- 26:33Speaker 2: Thank you Vick. You really opened up the parent's eyes
- 26:35Speaker 2: to how many calories they can and cannot burn between
- 26:38Speaker 2: the hours of waking up and going to school.
- 26:40Speaker 1: That he's gone four and eighty, hasn't he?
- 26:42Speaker 2: You can cancel that membership then I have already canceled it.

- 27:01Speaker 1: these trips.
- 27:01Speaker 2: I didn't ask you because you say yes and then
- 27:04Speaker 2: the day before I can't make it, Oh my god.
- 27:08Speaker 2: Or you'd book a hotel for a year in advance.
- 27:10Speaker 2: They're like, so this is the next year.
- 27:13Speaker 1: When I got my holiday, I will extend the invitation
- 27:16Speaker 1: to yourself.
- 27:16Speaker 2: I can't wait. I can't wait to say no to that. No,
- 27:22Speaker 2: I didn't think you would ever want to come. And
- 27:25Speaker 2: you also have a newborn, and I'm respectful of your family.
- 27:28Speaker 2: Thank you, situation, whatever that may be. We know what
- 27:31Speaker 2: that is pretty public. You know you married to Laura,
- 27:34Speaker 2: who's got a big audience.
- 27:35Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 27:35Speaker 2: A lot of people listen to our podcast.
- 27:36Speaker 1: It's not very good though.
- 27:39Speaker 2: Anyway, Hey, I like it. Get out Where do we start?
- 27:44Speaker 2: Tokyo very busy. I found out it's like forty one
- 27:47Speaker 2: million people live in that city.
- 27:49Speaker 1: That's a lot.
- 27:49Speaker 2: That's great, But I'd reckon, I didn't see a single child.
- 27:53Speaker 2: Are they just spawning as adults? How does it work?
- 27:56Speaker 2: There's no kids there at a school? I don't know,
- 27:59Speaker 2: but I thought, you don't like you like you expect
- 28:01Speaker 2: to see, you know, families and stuff that no, Like
- 28:04Speaker 2: I saw the odd kid here and there. I was
- 28:06Speaker 2: very shocked with that.
- 28:07Speaker 1: Interesting observation.
- 28:08Speaker 2: Yeah, that was observation number one. Yep, number two. We
- 28:11Speaker 2: did the Fast and the furious car meet, you know,
- 28:13Speaker 2: like in the Tokyo drift where they all meet in
- 28:17Speaker 2: that car.
- 28:17Speaker 1: Dude.
- 28:18Speaker 2: Honestly, the car park itself is so impressive. It's just
- 28:21Speaker 2: a truck stop. But you wind down these roads, it's
- 28:24Speaker 2: like a coliseum and you're like in the middle. It's
- 28:27Speaker 2: no phone reception. It's like a dead zone. What you
- 28:30Speaker 2: do is you go on like a driving tour where
- 28:33Speaker 2: they drive very fast. Is it like an organized The
- 28:36Speaker 2: tour that you do is organized, but the meat happens
- 28:38Speaker 2: all the time. Lewis Hamilton was there like two days before.
- 28:40Speaker 2: I was there in for forty Wow, which was crazy,
- 28:44Speaker 2: Like that's crazy, Like me going there not so crazy.
- 28:47Speaker 1: I realized is this guy.
- 28:49Speaker 2: But it was like, you're geting the cart, but you're
- 28:51Speaker 2: doing one hundred and eighty two hundred ks an hour
- 28:54Speaker 2: on the freeway with all these other Japanese import cars
- 28:58Speaker 2: that are like crossing each other.
- 28:59Speaker 1: It was, and that sounds risky.
- 29:01Speaker 2: There was, Yeah, there was risky because at one point
- 29:03Speaker 2: I realized I didn't have travel insurance, and I was like,
- 29:06Speaker 2: maybe just slow down a little bit. Everyone's like, go fast.
- 29:08Speaker 2: I got great insurance, and I'm like, oh, I got
- 29:10Speaker 2: kids at home, like so do we. So we did
- 29:14Speaker 2: that and then we went. I got a bullet training
- 29:16Speaker 2: for the first time, which was fast. But also, don't
- 29:20Speaker 2: if you scare easy.
- 29:21Speaker 1: I saw your video you come with that was I've
- 29:23Speaker 1: seen better acting on pornhub.
- 29:26Speaker 2: I don't know what that is.
- 29:27Speaker 1: I don't know what porn is. He's been canceled.
- 29:29Speaker 2: I don't know what you're talking about.
- 29:30Speaker 1: You're doing a little like when you get scared when
- 29:32Speaker 1: you go past something on a.
- 29:33Speaker 2: Train, but honestly, like you'll be looking out the window
- 29:36Speaker 2: and then these things go three hundred and fifty ks
- 29:38Speaker 2: an hour very fast. Scare the shit out of me
- 29:41Speaker 2: every time for three hours.
- 29:43Speaker 1: You don't scare easily.
- 29:44Speaker 2: I do like little things like that. Yeah, dating a
- 29:47Speaker 2: couple of capsule hotels. Try to do a thing a
- 29:48Speaker 2: little bit different. We rented a car. You see our car.
- 29:51Speaker 1: I saw the car.
- 29:51Speaker 2: It was cube the thing. I could walk faster. It
- 29:55Speaker 2: was seriously so slow, but it was like a lot
- 29:58Speaker 2: of fun to be in, like a weird little We
- 30:00Speaker 2: went to the f one. But like you know how
- 30:02Speaker 2: we always talk about when you go on a holiday
- 30:04Speaker 2: without kids, it's like, oh, yeah, I'm going on you know,
- 30:07Speaker 2: kid free holiday. I sort of went to the next
- 30:10Speaker 2: level of that.
- 30:11Speaker 1: Well.
- 30:11Speaker 2: I booked a hotel that I thought kids weren't allowed
- 30:14Speaker 2: in Okay. So I booked this hotel called an adult's
- 30:17Speaker 2: only hotel, thinking oh, there's no kids, great, charged by
- 30:21Speaker 2: the hour. No, But once I did turn up, I
- 30:25Speaker 2: realized what I had actually booked, which was a Japanese
- 30:28Speaker 2: style brothel.
- 30:30Speaker 1: Ah.
- 30:31Speaker 2: So I was like, thank god, there's no kids here.
- 30:33Speaker 1: What's different in a brothel hotel then you would get
- 30:36Speaker 1: in a normal hotel any.
- 30:37Speaker 2: Freaked of sex? No really? So walking it was nighttime
- 30:41Speaker 2: because we went to the race first and checked in after,
- 30:44Speaker 2: and it was in this on top of this hill
- 30:47Speaker 2: in this really like nowhere town in the middle of Japan.
- 30:51Speaker 2: I don't think I saw a single person in the area.
- 30:54Speaker 2: There's like two or three hotels that obviously do the
- 30:56Speaker 2: same thing, which is you book your book a room
- 30:58Speaker 2: by the hour or by the night or whatever you
- 31:00Speaker 2: want to do. But pull up. It's got like these
- 31:03Speaker 2: really skanky I'm going to use the word skanky a
- 31:06Speaker 2: lot here.
- 31:06Speaker 1: I've not heard you you skanky before.
- 31:08Speaker 2: I'm going to use it a lot. Now catch up
- 31:10Speaker 2: a skanky awnings right with like red lights under it,
- 31:14Speaker 2: and then you pull in. There's an entrance and an
- 31:16Speaker 2: exit door that are separate.
- 31:18Speaker 1: You walk in.
- 31:19Speaker 2: It's like really old daycore, Like I'm talking like a swinger,
- 31:23Speaker 2: Like you think swing a daycorps. They still have shad
- 31:26Speaker 2: carpet those freaks. If you're a swinger out there, good
- 31:29Speaker 2: for you. Look in. I'm like, where's a reception. Reception
- 31:32Speaker 2: is like curtained off. You can't see a thing because
- 31:35Speaker 2: there's like a little hole. And I was like, trying
- 31:38Speaker 2: to look in, you can't see anyone. Just a hand
- 31:40Speaker 2: comes out of nowhere a gloriole.
- 31:42Speaker 1: I don't know what that is.
- 31:44Speaker 2: And I was like Okay, I didn't check in with
- 31:46Speaker 2: any documentation or anything like that. They just gave me
- 31:49Speaker 2: a key like go. And what they do is they
- 31:51Speaker 2: must press a button that makes all the lights flicker
- 31:54Speaker 2: on to give you directions to where you meant to
- 31:57Speaker 2: be going.
- 31:57Speaker 1: So cool.
- 31:58Speaker 2: It was creepy because we didn't know that maybe that
- 32:01Speaker 2: gets you in the mood. Maybe some others they might
- 32:03Speaker 2: be into light play. I don't know.
- 32:04Speaker 1: And did you and Beach, did you guys share a
- 32:07Speaker 1: y share a bed? Yeah?
- 32:09Speaker 2: Okay, So we get up there and you open the
- 32:12Speaker 2: door and it's got like the wet room that would
- 32:14Speaker 2: be usually take your shoes off, take your jacket off
- 32:16Speaker 2: there and go into the room. Was actually a service room,
- 32:18Speaker 2: so I had a little peep hole and a side
- 32:20Speaker 2: door that if anything you needed during your sexual romp,
- 32:24Speaker 2: they would open it up like a prison. Opened it up,
- 32:26Speaker 2: slide it in, shut it down. Okay, walk into this room.
- 32:30Speaker 2: There's a love bath. It's stank like what it just
- 32:34Speaker 2: stunk like cleaning products, sex and cigarettes. And the mattress
- 32:39Speaker 2: was about an inch thick. Not that there's a lot
- 32:41Speaker 2: of sleeping going on there. Other than when me and
- 32:43Speaker 2: Beach said that there was a stay in room vibrator.
- 32:47Speaker 2: What Yeah? Yeah, there was condocts everywhere.
- 32:50Speaker 1: The same way that you have like a hair drive. Yeah,
- 32:52Speaker 1: there was a room vibrator. Oh my god, did you
- 32:55Speaker 1: use it?
- 32:56Speaker 2: I got a message?
- 32:57Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 32:58Speaker 1: And then how many nice did you stay there?
- 33:01Speaker 2: Two nights?
- 33:01Speaker 1: How much sex did you have?
- 33:03Speaker 2: What? None? Thank god? And the only thing on TV
- 33:06Speaker 2: was porn. It was a very strange experience. Okay, so
- 33:09Speaker 2: there was one point there where I'm sitting there and
- 33:10Speaker 2: I'm doing scrolling my phone and each turned the TV on,
- 33:13Speaker 2: not knowing it was only Pawn turned it on and
- 33:16Speaker 2: I hit his gasp because that's our room on the TV.
- 33:23Speaker 2: They had filmed the pawn that was on the TV.
- 33:26Speaker 2: That's cool, but it it was already a night after
- 33:29Speaker 2: we'd slept, and I was like, oh my god, I
- 33:30Speaker 2: don't think I'm gonna be able to stay here.
- 33:32Speaker 1: Don't touch anything.
- 33:33Speaker 2: And then I'm on this leather couch like why am
- 33:34Speaker 2: I stuck to it? And it was just like the
- 33:38Speaker 2: most the strangest place I have ever been. I said
- 33:43Speaker 2: to April when we're there, I'm like, you know, how
- 33:44Speaker 2: booked that adult's only hotel? I'm like, not what it
- 33:46Speaker 2: means not what it means that it's like no kids allowed.
- 33:49Speaker 2: It means people be fucking simple.
- 33:52Speaker 1: Mistake.
- 33:53Speaker 2: Yeah, and like that thing, you'd be walking down to
- 33:55Speaker 2: leave and like go to like out the reception and
- 33:59Speaker 2: you'll just see like prostitute walking with a guy. Love
- 34:02Speaker 2: that and you're just like boring, carry.
- 34:05Speaker 1: On this guy, Boogan brothels fly business class.
- 34:09Speaker 2: It was a sex rump fueled trip checking out trucks.
- 34:12Speaker 1: It stops.
- 34:15Speaker 2: I know I'm boring. I'm just out to go. Yeah,
- 34:17Speaker 2: I'm just with condoms. I'm just freaking out condoms, cashing condoms.
- 34:21Speaker 2: What do you want? I got it. So we did
- 34:22Speaker 2: that and then yeah, I got home yesterday morning and
- 34:26Speaker 2: to have you back it was good man.
- 34:27Speaker 1: It was from another holiday that you've taken.
- 34:29Speaker 2: That's my first one for the year. First time I've
- 34:31Speaker 2: ever flown internationally without having a drink, first trip I've
- 34:35Speaker 2: ever done without having a drink the whole time. Congratulations,
- 34:38Speaker 2: that's beach got pretty pierced a few times. That was fun.
- 34:41Speaker 3: Can I ask what was it like being sober while
- 34:44Speaker 3: you're watching someone else get drunk?
- 34:45Speaker 2: I remember it, but is it it's enjoyable? No, it's
- 34:48Speaker 2: definitely not.
- 34:48Speaker 1: But like it's not like beach like, sorry, they look
- 34:51Speaker 1: at me.
- 34:52Speaker 2: He's like, you're feel ashamed. I'm like you should. No,
- 34:54Speaker 2: It's like if they're your friend, fine because you've got that.
- 34:58Speaker 2: But if it's people that were that I didn't know that,
- 35:01Speaker 2: we're a little bit pissy, especially like Aussie's and stuff
- 35:03Speaker 2: over there checking your time. It's just going too long
- 35:05Speaker 2: for you, is it.
- 35:09Speaker 1: I'm just seeing where we're at. Shut up.
- 35:11Speaker 2: And then yeah, it can be quite annoying when they
- 35:13Speaker 2: get to a certain level, as we all know. Moving on.
- 35:16Speaker 2: Matt's fucking looked at his watch three times. I know
- 35:20Speaker 2: he's trying and he's succeeding, and I don't like it.
- 35:23Speaker 1: My tummy was rumbling. I know it was just could
- 35:26Speaker 1: you know? And I was just saying what time it
- 35:28Speaker 1: was because I'm quite hungry.
- 35:31Speaker 2: So that's Japan. I'm here, I'm back. It's one piece.
- 35:33Speaker 2: Didn't have insurance, didn't need it. That's the way I
- 35:35Speaker 2: see it.
- 35:36Speaker 1: Insurance is a scam anyway.
- 35:37Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, he's an ad from Alliance. You got criticism.
- 35:43Speaker 1: I got criticism, bro, who would criticize you?
- 35:46Speaker 2: No?
- 35:46Speaker 1: I copped it? You what copped it. I copped it.
- 35:49Speaker 2: You know, I mentioned where they let me at him.
- 35:52Speaker 1: Well, they're online, I'll get them. Do you know I
- 35:55Speaker 1: did that podcast Inherited, Yeah, the other day and it
- 35:59Speaker 1: came out, and one of the first little cutdowns that
- 36:02Speaker 1: they put on social media was a story that I
- 36:04Speaker 1: tell about when Maley was born, and I admit that
- 36:07Speaker 1: I wasn't the best dad.
- 36:09Speaker 2: It'd be pretty open about that.
- 36:10Speaker 1: I'd been open about it, and I told that story
- 36:13Speaker 1: obviously as well. You know, you can only take certain
- 36:16Speaker 1: parts of a story when you put it online and
- 36:18Speaker 1: didn't have the full context. And a lot of people
- 36:22Speaker 1: reacting to that video in the sense they were like, well,
- 36:24Speaker 1: you're a fucking idiot, You're a piece of shit. It
- 36:26Speaker 1: shouldn't have taken your wife to tell you that you
- 36:28Speaker 1: weren't pulling your weight. They know you're a man, right
- 36:30Speaker 1: and you're not helping ash. Sorry, I just I'm not
- 36:34Speaker 1: sure if anyone has seen that video, and I just
- 36:38Speaker 1: want to for a second, for a second, I'm not
- 36:41Speaker 1: making excuses. I just want to give full context in
- 36:43Speaker 1: case anyone's watched that video. On the thought maybe I
- 36:46Speaker 1: haven't listened to the full episode of Inherited and I
- 36:50Speaker 1: think it's important as well to understand the context of
- 36:53Speaker 1: the situation of this generation of dads. I'm not here
- 36:55Speaker 1: making excuses. I'm just saying that I think there are
- 36:59Speaker 1: many dads out there who have no intention of being
- 37:03Speaker 1: a bad dad. They're going into fatherhood wanting to be
- 37:07Speaker 1: the best they can be, being a supportive partner and father.
- 37:10Speaker 1: I think there are so many blind spots that men
- 37:14Speaker 1: aren't aware that they have. And that was my situation.
- 37:18Speaker 1: I wanted to be a dad. I couldn't wait to
- 37:21Speaker 1: be a dad, and the last thing that I wanted
- 37:22Speaker 1: to be in this world was a bad partner, a
- 37:24Speaker 1: bad dad. But still with that mindset, I still dropped
- 37:28Speaker 1: the ball. And maybe the fact that I grew up
- 37:31Speaker 1: in a household, and again not excuses, just context. I
- 37:34Speaker 1: grew up in a household where growing up, my mum
- 37:36Speaker 1: was a stay at home mum. She did all the
- 37:37Speaker 1: domestic work around the house. My dad traveled a lot
- 37:40Speaker 1: with work, and so that was the environment that I saw.
- 37:43Speaker 1: That's how I saw parents behaving. And I think there
- 37:46Speaker 1: are so many other dads out there who had a
- 37:48Speaker 1: similar scenario. That was what they knew growing up, and
- 37:51Speaker 1: I think We're now a generation where so much change
- 37:54Speaker 1: is happening, but we still need these men to have
- 37:57Speaker 1: a push in the right direction. And it shouldn't take
- 38:00Speaker 1: women and partners to be telling their husbands how to parent.
- 38:04Speaker 1: But I think what we're trying to do here is
- 38:06Speaker 1: make dads be as good as they can be. And
- 38:08Speaker 1: if they get a tap on the shoulder and they're
- 38:10Speaker 1: told what they can do to improve being a partner
- 38:13Speaker 1: as a dad, I think that's a great thing as
- 38:16Speaker 1: long as they're taking that feedback and they're implementing change.
- 38:18Speaker 2: You only know what you know right totally. And we
- 38:21Speaker 2: I'll say it again, as a society, we expect new
- 38:24Speaker 2: parents to know exactly what to do all the time,
- 38:27Speaker 2: which is ridiculous because if you're to start a brand
- 38:29Speaker 2: new job tomorrow, you're not expected to be the absolute
- 38:33Speaker 2: best of that job. So for you, the adapting from
- 38:36Speaker 2: having no children for thirty years, call it okay. And
- 38:41Speaker 2: then you've got a kid and you might need a
- 38:43Speaker 2: little bit of feedback from your significant other.
- 38:46Speaker 1: These are some things that need to prioritize and they're
- 38:48Speaker 1: going to help me out.
- 38:49Speaker 2: More if they don't say anything, how am I supposed
- 38:51Speaker 2: to know? How am I supposed to get But if
- 38:52Speaker 2: I actively, if I'm actively not wanting to get better,
- 38:55Speaker 2: it'd be a very different situation.
- 38:57Speaker 1: So then people have responded to that and said, it's
- 38:59Speaker 1: just sense, is it? And I hear you, I hear
- 39:02Speaker 1: the frustration where you like to you it is common sense,
- 39:07Speaker 1: But it may be surprising that for me in that situation,
- 39:11Speaker 1: in those moments, there are things that I just didn't clock,
- 39:14Speaker 1: that I didn't know they would be really important to
- 39:17Speaker 1: helping out Laura. And afterwards, in hindsight, I'm like, oh, yeah, cool,
- 39:21Speaker 1: I get it. But I think to have a conversation
- 39:24Speaker 1: with your partner to be able to give them some pointers,
- 39:27Speaker 1: some criticism, constructive. I think that is part of being
- 39:30Speaker 1: in a healthy relationship.
- 39:32Speaker 2: Can the people who said it was common sense, can
- 39:33Speaker 2: they define what common sense actually is.
- 39:35Speaker 1: I don't want to talk to them again.
- 39:37Speaker 2: M It shits me because I don't think it's fair.
- 39:40Speaker 2: But it's common sense. Well not necessarily. Everyone's grown up differently.
- 39:44Speaker 2: Everyone's like common sense. Things are things that are like
- 39:47Speaker 2: so blatantly common. Okay, every situation is so unique, whether
- 39:53Speaker 2: it's the couple, the kid, how the birth was, how
- 39:56Speaker 2: the kid is whether the kid actually wants to responds
- 39:59Speaker 2: to you help in that way, whether your wife wants
- 40:01Speaker 2: you to help that way. Everything is so different, so
- 40:03Speaker 2: how the fuck can it be common? Okay, I understand
- 40:06Speaker 2: that we do need to get better at it, and
- 40:08Speaker 2: this generation definitely because like you said, my mum my dad,
- 40:12Speaker 2: they both worked together, but my mum was way more
- 40:15Speaker 2: hands on with us just because of that generation. So
- 40:18Speaker 2: I would have grown up visualizing that now as is
- 40:21Speaker 2: going to visualize that. I'm there all the time. So
- 40:23Speaker 2: it's going to be different. But the fact is, you
- 40:25Speaker 2: admit your mistake, You admit in hindsight. When old mate
- 40:29Speaker 2: over here who won't admit anything any fold and.
- 40:32Speaker 1: Can I just when I say that you know I
- 40:35Speaker 1: was bad and now I'm better, I don't tell that
- 40:37Speaker 1: story expecting to get a huge run of applause and
- 40:39Speaker 1: a pat on the back and be like, look, how
- 40:40Speaker 1: amazing I now am. I'm just explaining to people that
- 40:43Speaker 1: you know, you can be bad at things, and you
- 40:45Speaker 1: can change and you can get better because ultimately, what
- 40:48Speaker 1: we all want, and I'm sure you're the same, if
- 40:50Speaker 1: we want dads to be doing equal share, and that's
- 40:53Speaker 1: what we want here and I think if you're going
- 40:54Speaker 1: to point at someone who did the wrong thing and
- 40:56Speaker 1: say you're a piece of shit but not offer any
- 40:58Speaker 1: constructive feedback, we're not going to encourage any more change.
- 41:02Speaker 2: No, because then no one will want to talk about it,
- 41:03Speaker 2: and then people will start resenting each other. Like I
- 41:06Speaker 2: go straight back to you don't know what you don't know?
- 41:09Speaker 1: Okay.
- 41:09Speaker 2: So for example, if you were unaware of that you
- 41:12Speaker 2: were maybe not picking up your slack in certain areas,
- 41:15Speaker 2: and instead of Laura saying hey, vice versa, if she's
- 41:18Speaker 2: doing something, you're like, I think I need to help
- 41:20Speaker 2: with this. If you're just gonna everyone's going to not
- 41:22Speaker 2: talk to each other about it and help each other
- 41:24Speaker 2: through it, then you're just going to resent each other.
- 41:27Speaker 2: I think like it'd be more common than you think
- 41:29Speaker 2: that people don't adapt to the change as quick. It
- 41:32Speaker 2: doesn't mean that you need to be told what to do,
- 41:35Speaker 2: because even if you didn't get told to do, two
- 41:37Speaker 2: or three weeks might have gone passing, Like you know what,
- 41:40Speaker 2: my brain's adapting to be a dad now and I'll
- 41:42Speaker 2: pick up this. I'll start doing this like I'm doing
- 41:44Speaker 2: things now that I just do it. So subconsciously that
- 41:47Speaker 2: I'm like, what am I? I'm just picking it up
- 41:49Speaker 2: off the ground all the time because my brain's adapted
- 41:51Speaker 2: to being a dad. But how are you supposed to
- 41:53Speaker 2: adapt immediately and then not be told that you need
- 41:56Speaker 2: to help out in other situations, like you're just going
- 41:59Speaker 2: to all even silence. It's just fucking ridiculous that someone
- 42:03Speaker 2: can come out and say I was shit and we
- 42:06Speaker 2: should start to communicate better and stuff like that, and
- 42:08Speaker 2: then someone be like, yeah, shit, You'll always be shit.
- 42:11Speaker 2: How does that make any sense? Thanks for your feedback,
- 42:13Speaker 2: your fuck face.
- 42:14Speaker 1: So anyway, when I woke up and that episode came
- 42:16Speaker 1: out and I was like, oh, look at video, and
- 42:18Speaker 1: I read the comments and Laura was like, why are
- 42:20Speaker 1: you crying over there?
- 42:20Speaker 2: Mat Oh, it's just not nice.
- 42:23Speaker 3: We need to all evolve and grow together, and we
- 42:26Speaker 3: can't be perfect from the get go.
- 42:28Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I mean. I guarantee you there's things
- 42:30Speaker 2: that Laura looks back on and goes, oh, actually, I
- 42:32Speaker 2: could have done that better the first time around.
- 42:34Speaker 1: My wife is perfect.
- 42:35Speaker 2: Well, okay, April. Then if you can't look back and
- 42:39Speaker 2: learn from your mistake, like, there's a very big difference
- 42:41Speaker 2: if you didn't change and you didn't acknowledge it, and
- 42:43Speaker 2: you said I never did anything wrong. But like it's
- 42:45Speaker 2: all of a sudden, it's like you're damned if you
- 42:47Speaker 2: do say something. You're damned if you don't now.
- 42:49Speaker 1: And I think I'm going to speak on behalf of
- 42:51Speaker 1: a lot of dads here. I think about teacher Gym, Yeah, Javier,
- 42:56Speaker 1: they had similar scenarios where they had moments where they
- 42:58Speaker 1: weren't pulling their weight. When we tell these stories of
- 43:01Speaker 1: the fact that like we we weren't as good as
- 43:03Speaker 1: what we are now, we don't expect to be met
- 43:06Speaker 1: with like a bouquet of flowers a trophy and be
- 43:08Speaker 1: put on a pedestal and be like you're now amazing,
- 43:10Speaker 1: Like we don't expect that. All we want to talk
- 43:13Speaker 1: about is hopefully encourage other dads to be out there
- 43:17Speaker 1: to know that you can get better, you know.
- 43:20Speaker 2: Yeah, and you can also ask for help, like is
- 43:22Speaker 2: there anything else I can do that you can have
- 43:24Speaker 2: those conversations when previously I would think that a lot
- 43:27Speaker 2: of the generation would have been like I go to work,
- 43:30Speaker 2: so yeah, you know, when it's not the case now,
- 43:32Speaker 2: like I'm home as much, if not more than April,
- 43:34Speaker 2: and I do just as many pickups and drop offs
- 43:37Speaker 2: and make lunches and all this sort of stuff. But
- 43:39Speaker 2: it's different. It's different to what it was ten years ago.
- 43:42Speaker 1: Do I say the word pioneer? Should I use that term?
- 43:46Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 43:47Speaker 1: Should I? Yeah?
- 43:47Speaker 2: The criticist? God nah? Fuck them?
- 43:52Speaker 1: So one thing my kids to ash really quickly before
- 43:54Speaker 1: we go into doting dilemmas. Marley writes a story. When
- 43:58Speaker 1: I say stories, she's just like, we'll write a little
- 44:00Speaker 1: like really quick on a piece of paper A four.
- 44:03Speaker 1: She's in bed. She writes it by herself, and I'm like,
- 44:06Speaker 1: come on, Marle, it's now, it's eight thirty. You got
- 44:08Speaker 1: to go to bed. It's been late enough. And she's like, dag,
- 44:11Speaker 1: can I just before I go to bed? Can I
- 44:13Speaker 1: just read you a story that I've written? Oh nice?
- 44:15Speaker 1: And I was like, of course you can, okay, sweet,
- 44:17Speaker 1: and I'll entertain that. And I was like, what's your
- 44:19Speaker 1: story about? She goes, well, it's called The Good Pussy
- 44:23Speaker 1: And I'm like.
- 44:24Speaker 2: Wessa cotton soft and she's and she drew a.
- 44:27Speaker 1: Picture of a beautiful little cat kitten on the front cover.
- 44:31Speaker 1: She's on like a title page for it. And I'm like, oh,
- 44:33Speaker 1: that's a that's a beautiful time title. You got there.
- 44:36Speaker 1: She goes, the story is about a really good pussy.
- 44:40Speaker 1: The good pussy likes to play. The good pussy goes
- 44:43Speaker 1: out at night.
- 44:44Speaker 2: This is a great reader. I'm really into that.
- 44:47Speaker 1: I don't want to laugh at her because she gets
- 44:49Speaker 1: really Yeah, they don't understand the different between laughing at
- 44:52Speaker 1: them and with them. Oscar is very bad that the
- 44:54Speaker 1: good pussy likes it when you pat her.
- 44:56Speaker 2: Yes, she does.
- 44:59Speaker 1: Wow, She's like, I want to bring it to school.
- 45:04Speaker 1: I was like, don't do that. Give it to me.
- 45:06Speaker 1: I'll look after it.
- 45:07Speaker 2: Change it to cat all the poor things so innocent.
- 45:12Speaker 2: Oh sorry, I was going to say something, but I won't.
- 45:16Speaker 1: Don't say it.
- 45:17Speaker 2: I was going to say this one's called the big
- 45:19Speaker 2: Cock and it's a brewster.
- 45:20Speaker 1: Whatever. Doting dilemas time for this.
- 45:26Speaker 2: Now you need us smaller than ever, know that we
- 45:29Speaker 2: still have each other. You can send sure doting dilemma.
- 45:34Speaker 2: You can send doting dilemma. Hella ever and.
- 45:41Speaker 1: This is anonymous, but they say, hey, lads, I live
- 45:43Speaker 1: in a small town and our friendships here are very limited.
- 45:47Speaker 1: I found a group of mums that I click with
- 45:49Speaker 1: and we catch up twice a week at a park
- 45:51Speaker 1: for a workout while the kids play nice, lovely. That's great,
- 45:54Speaker 1: But when we catch up, my boys always on the outer.
- 45:58Speaker 1: They run away from him, take his toys away, They
- 46:00Speaker 1: literally move to the other side of the tree every
- 46:03Speaker 1: time my boy tries to play with them.
- 46:05Speaker 2: That's mean.
- 46:05Speaker 1: My son is a very polite, sweet, reserved little boy,
- 46:08Speaker 1: and I've been working so hard with him to build friendships.
- 46:11Speaker 1: It absolutely breaks my heart and I often end up
- 46:14Speaker 1: playing with my son because I can see the disappointment
- 46:16Speaker 1: starting to set in on his face when the behavior
- 46:19Speaker 1: is repeated every time we catch up. But my problem
- 46:23Speaker 1: lies with the other parents. They don't seem to pull
- 46:25Speaker 1: the kids up on it, which honestly makes me question
- 46:27Speaker 1: whether these are my people. I know that I should
- 46:30Speaker 1: probably talk to the other parents, but we aren't that
- 46:33Speaker 1: close yet, and I'm also scared of their response as
- 46:36Speaker 1: comments like they're such a bruiser and oh, they'll figure
- 46:39Speaker 1: it out. I have been thrown around before. Am I overreacting?
- 46:43Speaker 1: Or is this behavior from the other boys bad? Initially?
- 46:47Speaker 1: What are your thoughts?
- 46:48Speaker 2: Mothers go to a weird one because you sort of
- 46:50Speaker 2: get grouped in based on your area, so it's sort
- 46:53Speaker 2: of like a it's like a blind date.
- 46:56Speaker 1: Really it's hard because you get sometimes you get shit parents,
- 46:58Speaker 1: sometimes you get shit kids, but.
- 47:00Speaker 2: Also as well, like they used to throw a bunch
- 47:02Speaker 2: of personalities together that have just gone through arguably like
- 47:05Speaker 2: one of the most biggest life events ever and then
- 47:07Speaker 2: like yep, you guys be friends. Be a group sort
- 47:10Speaker 2: of like survivor, like we got lucky with ours.
- 47:13Speaker 1: Yes, did you have any bad eggs? Any bad kids
- 47:15Speaker 1: in the group?
- 47:16Speaker 2: Kids? No parents? We weasel them out pretty quickly, like
- 47:20Speaker 2: if you find out like what people are like I
- 47:23Speaker 2: can't believe I made the cart, but anyway, still there.
- 47:26Speaker 2: It's tricky because, first of all, rural not as many people.
- 47:29Speaker 2: We know that limited options, limited options. You don't want
- 47:32Speaker 2: to be the parent that tells off other kids in
- 47:34Speaker 2: front of their parents when their parents. You want to
- 47:36Speaker 2: talk to parents say hey, look, you know like but
- 47:38Speaker 2: then you don't want to get off site. It's such
- 47:40Speaker 2: a minefield.
- 47:40Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything wrong with being vocal and
- 47:43Speaker 1: talking about the behavior of a child in a really
- 47:45Speaker 1: respectful way, like if they're running away, and like being
- 47:49Speaker 1: rude to the boy and you have to, like if
- 47:51Speaker 1: you're doing a workout and you have to get up
- 47:53Speaker 1: and say come on, boys, like, that's not kind, that's
- 47:55Speaker 1: not kind behavior. I think in a way which is
- 47:59Speaker 1: loud enough for the other parents to see, I think
- 48:02Speaker 1: that's okay, to make it obvious. And if then being
- 48:04Speaker 1: completely non responsive, then I think you're like, well, that's
- 48:08Speaker 1: a bit shit, because I've been in situations where I'm like,
- 48:11Speaker 1: kids are struggling sharing over like the bubble mix, you know,
- 48:14Speaker 1: and you're like, hey, it's okay, Lola's going to have
- 48:17Speaker 1: a turn first and then you can play second, and
- 48:20Speaker 1: the parent's completely ignorant to just being like, oh, fucking
- 48:22Speaker 1: let to me run wild.
- 48:24Speaker 2: So you're saying you leave vocal, I think be read
- 48:27Speaker 2: the forefront by saying, hey, kids don't run away from
- 48:29Speaker 2: hoping the other parents jump on board. Go yeah, Timmy,
- 48:31Speaker 2: don't do that.
- 48:31Speaker 1: Yeah, I think because maybe maybe they're they're completely unaware
- 48:35Speaker 1: of what's happening, and you're just hyper aware of the
- 48:37Speaker 1: fact that you're really trying to encourage good behavior in
- 48:39Speaker 1: your child and you were spotting every single thing that
- 48:42Speaker 1: happens and unfolds between the kids.
- 48:44Speaker 2: Yeah, and then if that doesn't work, what do you
- 48:46Speaker 2: do then? Do you say, hey, because no one likes
- 48:48Speaker 2: to hear that your kids are shit? Did Like, no
- 48:51Speaker 2: one likes that.
- 48:52Speaker 1: I agree, But I think there's been times when my
- 48:54Speaker 1: kids behave badly, and as much as I love my kids,
- 48:57Speaker 1: I've spotted behavior oh and I've been like, oh, that's
- 48:59Speaker 1: not Oh.
- 49:00Speaker 2: Yeah, I try to the best of my ability. Yeah,
- 49:03Speaker 2: but there are people out there that just don't that
- 49:05Speaker 2: just don't. They're so easy to tune it out. It's like, oh,
- 49:08Speaker 2: the kids will be kids. Yeah, I get it. Kids
- 49:09Speaker 2: will be kids. Kids would be kids, and then kids
- 49:11Speaker 2: will be bullies. No good, Like it's gonna happen, Like
- 49:14Speaker 2: it is going to happen, like it happened when we
- 49:17Speaker 2: were kids, and it's just the way it is. But like, yeah,
- 49:20Speaker 2: I think if there's parents around it that's happening and
- 49:22Speaker 2: it's visible and they're not doing anything, and then like
- 49:24Speaker 2: further conversation needs to be had and if they don't
- 49:26Speaker 2: like it, then they're not your people.
- 49:28Speaker 1: Do you think though, maybe maybe the kids need more supervision,
- 49:31Speaker 1: Like if they're doing a workout in the park and
- 49:33Speaker 1: the kids are being left to their own devices. Do
- 49:35Speaker 1: you think maybe they need a bit more of a
- 49:36Speaker 1: push in the right direction.
- 49:38Speaker 2: That's a good point. We should probably ask someone who's
- 49:39Speaker 2: a little bit more responsible than me, which is my wife, April.
- 49:42Speaker 2: Will you pick up so she's getting the hair done today?
- 49:46Speaker 3: Oh?
- 49:46Speaker 1: What's she getting done?
- 49:47Speaker 2: Shave full, shave off?
- 49:49Speaker 1: What do you think? How will she answer? Oh? Hello? Oh?
- 49:54Speaker 2: We just guessed how you would answer the phone. I
- 49:56Speaker 2: was like, oh, she'd be like OHI like, oh, you
- 49:59Speaker 2: sounded like my pop so angry? Your hands free though,
- 50:04Speaker 2: aren't you? Of course I had a girl. Hey, I
- 50:07Speaker 2: just want to run a scenario. Buy you and just
- 50:10Speaker 2: give us your thoughts. Okay, yeah, all right, you've been
- 50:14Speaker 2: lumped into a mother's group. Okay, you're in a like
- 50:17Speaker 2: a rural town, so friendships are limited as it is,
- 50:19Speaker 2: and all of the other boys and kids are not
- 50:24Speaker 2: actively being mean to Oscar, but they're leaving him out
- 50:28Speaker 2: of things, running away from him, and not including him
- 50:31Speaker 2: as much. But you're worried because the other parents aren't
- 50:35Speaker 2: saying anything. But you also, like I said, it's a
- 50:38Speaker 2: small community, so you don't want to burn your bridges
- 50:41Speaker 2: as well. What do you do? Oh, you have to
- 50:43Speaker 2: say something to who to the parents. I'm probably asking
- 50:47Speaker 2: you to talk to the parents. Fair enough, fair enough,
- 50:52Speaker 2: But you would agree that you just need to be
- 50:55Speaker 2: an adult and have a conversation, do you think.
- 50:57Speaker 1: Yes, Yeah, yeah, totally, like you've got to put your first.
- 51:00Speaker 2: You would hope that the other mums would feel the same,
- 51:03Speaker 2: you say, look, if my son was to leave your
- 51:05Speaker 2: son out, how would that make you feel? Definitely totally
- 51:08Speaker 2: you'd say something. But I definitely feel like that would
- 51:11Speaker 2: be a huge job and not a new job, because
- 51:12Speaker 2: I don't like talking to people. I don't like to
- 51:15Speaker 2: talk either. I just have a podcast. I'll do it
- 51:18Speaker 2: bring in May and if they don't listen, then what
- 51:21Speaker 2: do you do? You're going to staunch them for me?
- 51:22Speaker 2: Probably that would be that Plan B, Plan A. You
- 51:25Speaker 2: need talk to them, Plan B. Let's just let's just
- 51:27Speaker 2: skip Plan A and go straight Plan B and then
- 51:30Speaker 2: I'll take it out for dinner afterwards.
- 51:32Speaker 1: Lovely Okay, God, you guys are so flirty.
- 51:35Speaker 2: Oh okay, I see that. I love you by I.
- 51:43Speaker 1: Well, I think you've got to You've got to say
- 51:45Speaker 1: something to the parents.
- 51:46Speaker 2: There's a polite way to do it, and just to
- 51:48Speaker 2: say look, I'm really sad because I see my kid
- 51:51Speaker 2: really sad. And if you don't understand that, then put
- 51:53Speaker 2: yourself in and I.
- 51:54Speaker 1: Think, I mean, I'm always like that forever. People Please.
- 51:56Speaker 1: If it was me, i'd say, look, I know I
- 51:58Speaker 1: might be being sensitive on this topic, but I'm really
- 52:01Speaker 1: trying to help Timmy to be more social, to make
- 52:03Speaker 1: more friends, and I've just noticed that this keeps happening.
- 52:07Speaker 1: Can you just keep an eye on it as well?
- 52:09Speaker 2: Can you as well?
- 52:10Speaker 1: As well?
- 52:10Speaker 2: Let's be vigilant. Also, you just said your people pleaser,
- 52:13Speaker 2: I'm not pleased. When are you going to please me?
- 52:16Speaker 1: I'm always pleasing?
- 52:17Speaker 2: You just bully me?
- 52:18Speaker 3: I do not.
- 52:19Speaker 2: I'm talking to your mum. That's what I'm going to do.
- 52:21Speaker 2: Can you just keep an eye on it?
- 52:22Speaker 1: Like she won't shut up, I won't to get to
- 52:24Speaker 1: start it.
- 52:25Speaker 2: Well, I think we should go, mate, but first before
- 52:27Speaker 2: we say goodbyes, I did notice something on Apple Podcasts.
- 52:31Speaker 2: Someone left a really lovely review. However I saw it.
- 52:34Speaker 1: However, I'm very confused.
- 52:36Speaker 2: I'm confused. Do you love us or do you hate us?
- 52:38Speaker 2: Because signs lovely words? One star? What sort of words
- 52:42Speaker 2: are you given for? Five stars? What they say again,

- 52:47Speaker 2: doting pair, and I absolutely love this pod. It always
- 52:50Speaker 2: brings me joy on my drive to work. It makes
- 52:52Speaker 2: my gym session slightly less awful. Also as a babysitter,
- 52:56Speaker 2: the stories and the words of wisdom are always helpful.
- 52:59Speaker 1: That's lovely.
