9:25
Speaker 1: There's a couple of like tiny little jobs that need doing,
9:28
Speaker 1: just like the little finicky ones. And we got down
9:31
Speaker 1: there and I was kind of eyeing off a few
9:34
Speaker 1: of these jobs and like Laura is like a light
9:36
Speaker 1: that needs to be put in and blah blah blahlah blah,
9:40
Speaker 1: and she's like, can you get Tom, who's a build

9:46
Speaker 1: the holidays? He went away.
9:48
Speaker 2: Tom deserves a break, he deserves a break.
9:51

9:55
Speaker 1: I can wait till Tom comes back, send him in
9:57
Speaker 1: the email with a list of jobs that I need finished.
10:00

10:04
Speaker 1: a big boy. Go down to Bunnings. I can buy
10:07
Speaker 1: what's required. I can buy the materials and I will
10:09
Speaker 1: do it myself.
10:10
Speaker 2: Okay, And how did that go?
10:12
Speaker 1: Really good? Really good. One of the jobs. Laura was like,
10:17
Speaker 1: I'd love to paint the garage the roller door.
10:19
Speaker 2: Oh.
10:19
Speaker 1: I saw, yes, And I was like, I can do that.
10:22
Speaker 1: A bit of primer, beautiful one cat. One cat put
10:27
Speaker 1: one kind of primer.
10:28
Speaker 2: Oh. Just as the primers.
10:32
Speaker 1: And I come back and I messaged Tom. I said, hey,
10:36
Speaker 1: I set him a photo the primer and I said,
10:38
Speaker 1: I'm going to do this myself.
10:39
Speaker 2: You're relieved, you're going to come back in.
10:41
Speaker 1: This place to be finished. And he goes, that's not
10:43
Speaker 1: primer for metal, that's primer for wood, and I was like,
10:46
Speaker 1: very good. Oh past, and anything that I touched I damaged.
10:54
Speaker 1: I broke. So the roller door dried and warp the
10:56
Speaker 1: paint like warped the metal door so it wouldn't go
11:01
Speaker 1: up and down. So when you roll it up and down,
11:02
Speaker 1: you have to like push it in.
11:05
Speaker 2: Could Tom give an explanation to why that would have happened? Well?
11:08
Speaker 1: I didn't. I wasn't going to tell Tom that, but
11:10
Speaker 1: then I put it on my Instagram story and now
11:11
Speaker 1: Tom knows, and he just messages back and goes, yeah,
11:13
Speaker 1: don't worry, I'll fix that next week.
11:17
Speaker 2: Let the professionals do it. Bro That's what I've learned
11:20
Speaker 2: in my short.

11:42
Speaker 1: tax reductible.

11:48
Speaker 1: the tools that I don't use, and I've got to
11:51

Speaker 1: When I dropped Maley off for the first time, this
17:33
Speaker 1: is the second time Alis had to sing at pony Club.
17:36
Speaker 1: Maley watches like a Barbie show.
17:40
Speaker 2: It was going to be real boom and they're all like.
17:42
Speaker 1: E questrian gear and the horses are all like beautiful
17:45
Speaker 1: that sounds. I was like, this is going to be great.
17:48
Speaker 2: Finally my life is living on to what it shouldn't be.
17:51
Speaker 1: And then we get there and the first job you
17:54
Speaker 1: have to do is shovel.

17:59
Speaker 1: It was like, it's going to came. I want to

Speaker 1: her over and the lady is like, here you go,
18:14
Speaker 1: start shoveling shit, get in there, and he was like wow,
18:19
Speaker 1: what do you mean? And then like as I drove off,
18:22
Speaker 1: I like looked at Marley standing in like ankle deep shit,
18:26
Speaker 1: I'll pick you up at three o'clock.
18:28
Speaker 2: What about Lola no longer?
18:29
Speaker 1: Too young? Too young? Too young?
18:32
Speaker 2: And also now she knows how she is.
18:34
Speaker 1: Yes, she's like that I can say home to.
18:36
Speaker 2: Watch TV genius. Well, sounds like a lovely trip, thank you.
18:41
Speaker 2: I didn't go anywhere. I just got sick of my
18:45
Speaker 2: kids really quickly. There's a drag one problem we're having
18:48
Speaker 2: at the moment. You won't understand this because you have girls.
18:52
Speaker 2: I have a boy. His name is Oscar. I'm not
18:54
Speaker 2: sure if you know. He's six. And then he peeps
18:56
Speaker 2: out of his penis okay, which is surprised to me,
19:00
Speaker 2: which is seems to be a problem for us, because
19:04
Speaker 2: there's like when you were saying when you were a child,
19:07
Speaker 2: that pea gets everywhere. But yeah, you had you had
19:10
Speaker 2: other reasons for that.
19:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Oscar's just I have my foreskin removed, six skin,
19:14
Speaker 1: six skin.
19:15
Speaker 2: Yeah. We talk about it every week anyway. So he
19:21
Speaker 2: uses the big toilet obviously. And April said to me
19:24
Speaker 2: one morning, she said, hey, you left the toilet set up?
19:29
Speaker 2: And I said, listen, we've been together for like fourteen years.
19:32
Speaker 2: Have I ever once left the toilet set up? Because
19:34
Speaker 2: you sit down, we are no jake, Oh weird, it'd
19:38
Speaker 2: be comfortable.
19:38
Speaker 1: I try. It's great.
19:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had a time anyway, I was like fourteen years.
19:44
Speaker 2: I haven't you don't do it. I've just never I've
19:47
Speaker 2: just always put it back down.
19:48
Speaker 1: That's very considered.
19:49
Speaker 4: Thank you.
19:50
Speaker 2: I think it's one of the small things that's considerate. Yeah, forever,
19:55
Speaker 2: I always will be a good guy. And people talk
19:57
Speaker 2: about you behind your back if you don't, that's what
20:01
Speaker 2: I think. I don't know because I don't. I don't
20:03
Speaker 2: do it anyway, so.
20:04
Speaker 1: It's almost insulting that you've been.
20:06
Speaker 2: I was insulted. I was like, Hey, there's two boys
20:13
Speaker 2: in this house now, and she was like, oh, yes, okay,
20:16
Speaker 2: and she was like, can you talk? Can you talk?
20:19
Speaker 1: There's one ad two boys.
20:21
Speaker 2: There's two small boys in this out and I was like,
20:24
Speaker 2: she was like, can you talk to him? Because this
20:26
Speaker 2: is the boy think. I'm like, that's fair, okay. And
20:28
Speaker 2: I said to ask her, Hey, can you put the
20:30
Speaker 2: seat back down when you pee? And yeah, okay, great,
20:34
Speaker 2: no worries. And then I get the a few weeks later, Hey,
20:41
Speaker 2: when you pee on the seat, ash, can you make
20:43
Speaker 2: sure that I've been blamed again now? And I said, hey,
20:48
Speaker 2: we've been together again. We've been together for fourteen years.
20:51
Speaker 2: Have I ever once pissed on the seat? And she
20:53
Speaker 2: said no, And I said yeah, it's called common courtesy, babe.
20:57
Speaker 2: And if I did, I'd wipe it up nicely.
21:00
Speaker 1: Just again, stand out individual think.
21:04
Speaker 2: I think it's the bare minimum of being a human
21:07
Speaker 2: human male. Yeah. Would I do it at a pub? No,
21:11
Speaker 2: it's different floor.
21:12
Speaker 1: Yeah.
21:15
Speaker 2: Anyway, before I could say something, actually, I forgot. I
21:19
Speaker 2: forgot to say something to him, to be like, hey,
21:22
Speaker 2: what to do properly? A couple of days ag gone past,
21:25
Speaker 2: I've forgotten, and I was busting for a shit okay,
21:29
Speaker 2: and I fucking bolted down the hallway, bolted into the bathroom,
21:33
Speaker 2: right down, sat right down.
21:36
Speaker 1: On pissh It's awful, isn't it?
21:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially in winter. I was like, oh, what the fuck?
21:44
Speaker 2: Realized and then I said to Oscarr, Hey, this is
21:49
Speaker 2: what you need to do. Okay, this is current routine.
21:52
Speaker 2: All right. It was set up pee, wash your hand,
21:56
Speaker 2: wash your hands. That was his routine. And I said, hey,
22:00
Speaker 2: seat down. So then his routine went from not even
22:03
Speaker 2: putting the seat up, confused okay, And then I said,
22:08
Speaker 2: all right, this is what we'll do. We'll do it
22:10
Speaker 2: run through a dry run if.
22:12
Speaker 1: You will for a better words.
22:14
Speaker 2: And I was like, okay, you ready toilet? Seat up, pee,
22:19
Speaker 2: toilet seat down.
22:20
Speaker 1: Okay, it's it's like it's it's a lot.
22:23
Speaker 2: For a kid, yeah, six year old, seems to be.
22:25
Speaker 2: What I saw that he was doing is that instead
22:27
Speaker 2: of adding in the extra steps, he was just replacing
22:29
Speaker 2: current steps that were in his routine, which is really
22:32
Speaker 2: fucking annoying because it had a knock on. Right. So
22:36
Speaker 2: when I was okay, up, down, wash your hands, Okay,
22:40
Speaker 2: then I noticed a couple of days going past he
22:42
Speaker 2: was doing the Wii properly, not washing his hands, and
22:46
Speaker 2: I was like, brod add the steps in, add them in.
22:50
Speaker 1: Have you got the written down somewhere?
22:52
Speaker 2: Good, good idea maybe to do that. He's only just
22:54
Speaker 2: learned to read, though overloaded, but I want to overload
22:57
Speaker 2: too much, don't figure it's I.
22:59
Speaker 1: Got to read just pissing the the garden. Yeah.
23:01
Speaker 2: So I'm like, all right, let me give you the
23:04
Speaker 2: basic rundown of how this should go all the time
23:07
Speaker 2: for the rest of your life. This is literally a
23:10
Speaker 2: life lesson. I'm gonna give you right now. Toilet seed up, pe,
23:14
Speaker 2: toilet seat down, flush. You were missing He was missing
23:18
Speaker 2: flushed by doing to overcomplicate it, because it's not it's
23:21
Speaker 2: c's critical, this is a shit and then go in,
23:26
Speaker 2: wash your hand with soap and leave. Okay. So I've
23:30
Speaker 2: given him all of that and he's at the point
23:34
Speaker 2: where he's doing like seventy five percent. Sometimes he'll leave
23:38
Speaker 2: the seat up, but he'll flush wash his hand so
23:41
Speaker 2: he can't put all the steps together.
23:43
Speaker 1: It's a lot, isn't it.
23:45
Speaker 2: I never thought I would have to go through such
23:47
Speaker 2: heartache as a parent, like putting up with this. It's like, bro, stop,
23:54
Speaker 2: don't just add the steps.
23:55
Speaker 1: In having a boy sounds awful.
23:58
Speaker 2: It's brutal.
24:00
Speaker 1: It's they ca him sit down.
24:01
Speaker 2: With nah, because I don't know then. I don't know, he's.
24:05
Speaker 1: Just he'll grow up to be a whimp like me anyway.
24:11
Speaker 2: So I'm currently dealing with that and then also.
24:14
Speaker 1: Sometimes to me between you and me, just but like
24:22
Speaker 1: washing of the hands, especially when it's winter and they've
24:24
Speaker 1: got jumpers on, and like Marley and Lola hate getting
24:28
Speaker 1: the jumpers. Were like the end of the jumper, like
24:30
Speaker 1: the little ribbing on the end, they getting wet. Sometimes
24:33
Speaker 1: if I'm wiping their bottom, I'm like, don't worry about
24:36
Speaker 1: washing it. Okay, Well fuck, that just.
24:41
Speaker 2: Came out of me. No, like I get it, Like no,
24:49
Speaker 2: I'm always like, wash your hands, wash your hands, and
24:52
Speaker 2: I know they're skipping it. I know sometimes sometimes sometimes
24:57
Speaker 2: I'm like, I didn't hear the tap, and even.
24:59
Speaker 1: Dude will not hear the tap. And I go to
25:01
Speaker 1: my did you wash your hand? She goes, yeah, smell
25:03
Speaker 1: them and I'm like.
25:04
Speaker 2: No, thanks and goes feel them. Oh, I don't want
25:11
Speaker 2: your hands out here. It's discussing. And then I've got
25:18
Speaker 2: Macie who she'll use the big toilet. But because we
25:23
Speaker 2: only have one toilet, if oscars, they're doing a pooh
25:27
Speaker 2: or something whatever poo routine on point, just gonna say
25:30
Speaker 2: heavens and he flushes that every time. Kids love buttons.
25:33
Speaker 2: I'm not sure.
25:36
Speaker 1: If I fucking flash that toilet before they get a
25:39
Speaker 1: chance to it. They're like, oh, damn you.
25:41
Speaker 2: I wanted to see. It's your evil and I wanted
25:44
Speaker 2: to press the butt.
25:45
Speaker 1: On my own God's sake.
25:47
Speaker 2: I get a great Also, I'm convinced with the toilet,
25:49
Speaker 2: how it has a full and half flush, same flush. Oh,
25:53
Speaker 2: there's no different. It's just one of the biggest scams
25:55
Speaker 2: of connects.
25:56
Speaker 1: To the same valve.
25:57
Speaker 2: Those bustards. I don't know what they're trying to prove
25:59
Speaker 2: with it, but I'll figure it out anyway. Macy sometimes
26:02
Speaker 2: she has to use the potty okay, which is in
26:06
Speaker 2: the in the bathroom, and it's one of those ones
26:09
Speaker 2: that has a lid so it closes like it looks
26:10
Speaker 2: like a toilet. Be honest, have you used it for what?
26:16
Speaker 2: N fuck off? No, I never, I'll break if I
26:21
Speaker 2: sit on with this fat ass.
26:23
Speaker 1: Imagine if Macy came in and you're doing a shit
26:25
Speaker 1: in a toilet.
26:27
Speaker 2: And but because it has closed the lid, she sometimes
26:31
Speaker 2: she goes uses it just on her own accord, ships in,
26:34
Speaker 2: it shuts the lid, sits there all day and no
26:39
Speaker 2: one knows. And then she'll go to we.
26:42
Speaker 1: Need to incorporate the toilet check into your daily routine.
26:47
Speaker 1: That's on you.
26:47
Speaker 2: I'm exhausted so many toilets I've got to check. So
26:54
Speaker 2: it'll sit there all day and then April will be like, oh,
26:58
Speaker 2: and maybe we'll go to use it again, and she'll
27:00
Speaker 2: be I can't use it. I was like why and
27:03
Speaker 2: it's like there's pooh and we in here and I'm like,
27:06
Speaker 2: who left that? She's like, I don't know.
27:07
Speaker 1: At least it's better that she's doing that as opposed
27:10
Speaker 1: to trying to empty it herself.
27:12
Speaker 2: She tried that, Oh it just ended up. She'll never
27:14
Speaker 2: do that again.
27:15
Speaker 1: I remember I'm back in the day Lola being like
27:17
Speaker 1: I'm going to drive it, don't touch me. And it's
27:20
Speaker 1: like having a bowl of full soup and it's just
27:21
Speaker 1: like sloshing around and you know you're gonna take me
27:25
Speaker 1: half an hour of clean up after it.
27:26
Speaker 2: Have you ever asked the girls to pick up that?
27:28
Speaker 2: Like if you make them a bowl of cereal and
27:29
Speaker 2: you're like, here it is, and pick it up and
27:31
Speaker 2: take it? Oh?
27:31
Speaker 1: Yes, like a drunk with dementia.
27:35
Speaker 2: It's like their first day working at the cafe and coffee.
27:37
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, So anyway, I've got Oscar who's pissed
27:40
Speaker 2: on the seats, and Macy who's leaving fucking grenades and
27:44
Speaker 2: storing them in a potty And then eventually we're finding
27:46
Speaker 2: him like twelve hours later, and you can imagine the stench.
27:51
Speaker 1: Thank guy, it's not summer.
27:52
Speaker 2: Oh we better snap it, snapper out of it before summer.
27:55
Speaker 1: Can I ask what you feed the kids for breakfast?
28:02
Speaker 2: This is question? Look, Macey loves a bit of toast.
28:10
Speaker 2: Oscar is a combination between toast, but of cereals and
28:13
Speaker 2: fruit and yah cereal. He loves rass bubbles.
28:18
Speaker 1: I thought it was good.
28:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, they got you going.
28:21
Speaker 1: And then we give them do you give them like
28:23
Speaker 1: the real like the good stuff, the good cereal, like
28:27
Speaker 1: the Coca Pops or.
28:28
Speaker 2: The nah we've gotten you as Oscar calls it, news
28:32
Speaker 2: three grains.
28:33
Speaker 1: But that's also that's a huge big fan.
28:37
Speaker 2: Macon is in this thing at the moment where she
28:39
Speaker 2: wants a bowl of granola on its own, no, no milk, yeah,
28:42
Speaker 2: and then doesn't touch it. We're like four days in
28:44
Speaker 2: a row. Now it's not cheap, I know. I said
28:47
Speaker 2: to her, you just asked for it and now you're
28:49
Speaker 2: not eating it. What's the deal? What's the deal? And
28:53
Speaker 2: she was like shut up.
28:55
Speaker 1: I was like, we we thought when I was growing up,
29:00
Speaker 1: we would have you know, your standard nutri grain, corn flakes,
29:03
Speaker 1: rice bubbles, special K, a special K. Actually, I'll give
29:14
Speaker 1: you a bowl, don't worry. But then my mom would
29:17
Speaker 1: say you can have Coca Pops for the school holidays. Nice, right,
29:20
Speaker 1: and that it would go in like a heartbeat. It
29:22
Speaker 1: would just get scoffed down because five kids, no one
29:25
Speaker 1: wanted to. Like, if you didn't five.
29:28
Speaker 2: Kids would be like, there's one going like two days.
29:32
Speaker 1: You'd have cocoa pops for like lunch, like afternoons. Let
29:37
Speaker 1: it go so quick. And I and Marley was like,
29:40
Speaker 1: I want fruit loops, fruit loops, fruity loops, whatever it's called.
29:44
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, it's holidays. I'll give you
29:47
Speaker 1: a bowl. Holy shit, like just amazing. You know how
29:52
Speaker 1: hard when I'm trying to feed Marley in the morning,
29:56
Speaker 1: you know she'll have sometimes she'll do it herself, but
29:58
Speaker 1: most of the time it gets halfway through and she
30:00
Speaker 1: like wonders.
30:01
Speaker 2: Off and feed me. Dude, straight up in hell? Man,
30:06
Speaker 2: who'd have thought.
30:08
Speaker 1: I'm like, I get it why. Parents are like, yeah,
30:10
Speaker 1: I have the sugar. Yeah. Kid was like off, she
30:16
Speaker 1: was like the bowl. I was like, there's none left,
30:19

Speaker 1: Do you want to do parents?
30:45
Speaker 2: I do? I want to be preous you say what man,
30:55
Speaker 2: I feel like a parent.
31:03
Speaker 1: Ask great feedback from the listeners about the new song.
31:07
Speaker 1: I thought people were just taking the piss when they
31:09
Speaker 1: were like the song sucks the original one and I
31:12
Speaker 1: was like, ah, a good one, and they were like, no,
31:14

31:57
Speaker 1: to buildings like my local mall Male is slightly off
32:02
Speaker 1: to the side of the building, and this is how
32:05
Speaker 1: I have to enter with my newborn in the pram.
32:08
Speaker 1: It seems to be the perfect spot for people to
32:11
Speaker 1: duck out of the building to smoke.
32:15
Speaker 2: Siggy break.
32:17
Speaker 1: The amount of times I'm running with the pram upper
32:19
Speaker 1: ramp with other people in wheelchairs, gosh, trying just like
32:27
Speaker 1: like a stampede of wheelchairs and frams.
32:29
Speaker 2: Quickly, get in, quick, get in.
32:31
Speaker 1: Sorry, Steph, I don't mean to laugh at you around
32:34
Speaker 1: trying to roll as quick as possible because sorry. People
32:38
Speaker 1: think this is a place to smoke.
32:40
Speaker 2: It is absolutely not a place to smoke, but also.
32:44
Speaker 1: Smoke away people still smoking. Actually, actually I had to.
32:50
Speaker 1: I had to walk past a building yesterday.
32:53
Speaker 2: Oh god, you had to walk past the building Jesus.
32:56
Speaker 1: And two men smoking outside the building.
32:59
Speaker 2: It's weird, isn't it. It's a different age, different day
33:03
Speaker 2: and age is what I meant to say. It's age

Speaker 2: really trying to really trying to get that nicotine into me,
33:54
Speaker 2: all right?

34:04
Speaker 1: a packer when he reads in your car, and then
34:06
Speaker 1: trying to sell someone a car.

Speaker 2: price or something you haven't mentioned yet, something like that.
34:13
Speaker 2: That's stinking hair slick back?
34:16

Speaker 1: And that's absolutely fine. You can run as many. There's
34:25
Speaker 1: no quota, there is no.
34:27
Speaker 2: Limit, There is no limit. This one says being judged
34:31
Speaker 2: for the amount of screen time my thirteen year old
34:34
Speaker 2: has and the person judging me is my eleven year old.
34:39
Speaker 2: Apparently he's not going to give his children's screen time
34:43
Speaker 2: or allies.
34:43
Speaker 1: Oh wow, well that's rich.
34:46
Speaker 2: That's rich coming from an eleven year old, I mean,
34:49
Speaker 2: has no idea.
34:50
Speaker 1: You want to be shamed in your own house, by
34:52
Speaker 1: your own family, by your own child.
34:53
Speaker 2: Especially someone who's definitely uneducated in how to parent.
34:56
Speaker 1: And also the younger one as well, Yeah, the old one.
34:59
Speaker 2: I it's like, you fucked me up? Don't fuck o one?
35:02
Speaker 2: How do you know what I mean? Like eleven year
35:04
Speaker 2: old butt out Jessumin. But also if my eleven year
35:07
Speaker 2: old judged me on that, next time I saw that
35:10
Speaker 2: kid on a screen, I'd be like, ah no, no, no, no,
35:16
Speaker 2: I'd take it straight off him.
35:18
Speaker 1: This one is from Mandy. Anytime anyone asks if you
35:22
Speaker 1: or your kids still do something, okay, I'm sure it's
35:26
Speaker 1: well intentioned, but when I hear the words still, it's
35:30
Speaker 1: amplified or over exaggerated in my head. For example, are
35:34
Speaker 1: you still breastfeeding? Are you still co sleeping? Is he's
35:39
Speaker 1: still in nappies? Still using the dummy?
35:43
Speaker 2: It's insulting, isn't it. It's like when you say to me,
35:45
Speaker 2: are you still Paul? He said it once last week
35:52
Speaker 2: when I was like, I lived in an old five
35:53
Speaker 2: R shack. You're used to anyway, I get it. That's
35:57
Speaker 2: it's got like a real insulting connotation about it. It's like, oh,
36:01
Speaker 2: so you're still It's like man alcoholic. Yeah, I'm no quitter. Okay,
36:09
Speaker 2: very good. Last one from Sarah Okay, this one says.
36:16
Speaker 2: Now the rant is that it's school holidays and I'm
36:20
Speaker 2: still working. Now bear with me.
36:22
Speaker 1: Heah, I'm still still's getting to work out.
36:25
Speaker 2: Still's get to work out? You still work? Be nice
36:28
Speaker 2: not to anyway. My lovely children seem to think that
36:31
Speaker 2: because I work from home, I don't actually work, and
36:34
Speaker 2: will constantly ask me questions even when I'm on a
36:36
Speaker 2: work call. Oh man, Now my husband works from home
36:40
Speaker 2: two days a week, and they won't bother him because
36:42
Speaker 2: he says dad's working. April cops it from because they
36:49
Speaker 2: literally can't not be near her when she's home, and
36:52
Speaker 2: because they've been home for two weeks. Is here and there,
36:55
Speaker 2: Like I'll go to the bathroom and come back and
36:58
Speaker 2: both kids are in her office and she's on a
37:00
Speaker 2: call and she's like.
37:01
Speaker 1: It's fine though, right, people get it?
37:02
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, Look, I think he.
37:04
Speaker 1: Did take a call the other day and the guy
37:06
Speaker 1: on the zoom was just like had his daughter like
37:09
Speaker 1: on the table, and she was just like drawing on
37:11
Speaker 1: his face, and he was just he was so far gone.
37:14
Speaker 1: It was during school holiday.
37:15
Speaker 2: I used to bring Maisie into my work meetings when
37:17
Speaker 2: I had a real job, when I knew it was
37:20
Speaker 2: kind of going to be like a bad meeting, you
37:23
Speaker 2: know what I mean. So it was like, oh, we're
37:25
Speaker 2: doing like a team performance meeting. I'll be like, oh, oh,
37:31
Speaker 2: this is so cute. Anyway, you're fired. We'll fire him later,
37:35
Speaker 2: fire him. You can't fire him now in front of
37:37
Speaker 2: his daughter. I was like, what's how you understand what
37:39
Speaker 2: that means? Yeah, you better not fire me.
37:41
Speaker 1: Is that how you got away with that being fired
37:43
Speaker 1: for like three years?
37:44
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, the cockerroach.
37:47
Speaker 1: Just quickly. I just want to throw my parant, your
37:50
Speaker 1: personal parent personal parant really quickly if I may. That's okay,
37:54
Speaker 1: if that's allowed. We have time.
37:56
Speaker 2: You're a co host on this podcast. You do what
37:57
Speaker 2: you like?
37:58
Speaker 1: Polystyrene?
37:59
Speaker 2: Polystyrene is that right?
38:00
Speaker 1: Polystyrene?
38:02
Speaker 2: All right? I don't know what polystyrene.
38:04
Speaker 1: Por Styring is a versatile plastic that can be found
38:07
Speaker 1: in both solid and foamed forms.
38:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, stiring styrofoam.
38:14
Speaker 1: Mate, Fuck that the kids love.
38:16
Speaker 2: That stuff gets everywhere.
38:18
Speaker 1: And it's a night medical because it's hard to vacuum
38:21
Speaker 1: up and brush because when the little balls get separated,
38:24
Speaker 1: like the moment you like move anywhere, that like bit
38:27
Speaker 1: of air movement, it's impossible to capture.
38:30
Speaker 2: It is impossible. It's like like a snow globe, right,
38:33
Speaker 2: and it's just like the slightest movement. It's like so
38:36
Speaker 2: if you're just sweeping it, it counter production and.
38:39
Speaker 1: Fly because it's so light, it flies everywhere. And then
38:42
Speaker 1: also I wasn't like putting it in the bin. This
38:44
Speaker 1: is the biggest dick. I was literally like, if Ash
38:46
Speaker 1: was watching me right now, he would be so disgusted.
38:49
Speaker 1: A little chunk had like fallen out of the dust
38:52
Speaker 1: pan and onto the floor, and the gust of wind
38:54
Speaker 1: came and I was like, I did the bent over run,
39:00
Speaker 1: so I was like almost getting it, and I was like,
39:03
Speaker 1: I was like, this is a fucking joke. I chased
39:04
Speaker 1: it for like three meters because you.
39:06
Speaker 2: Don't want to be the bad guy who's littering. You
39:09
Speaker 2: try and do it with your foot.
39:11
Speaker 4: Man.
39:12
Speaker 2: It's so bad, like chasing a plastic bag and the
39:14
Speaker 2: wind is so embarrassed I had this similar thing the
39:17
Speaker 2: other day with a musically bar wrapper with the kids
39:20
Speaker 2: in public, and I was like, I saw it come
39:25
Speaker 2: out and I watched it slowly float to the ground,
39:28
Speaker 2: and I was like, I should I should do something here,
39:30
Speaker 2: I should do something before the wind gets up. And
39:32
Speaker 2: then when I went to do something and the wind
39:34
Speaker 2: was trying to get it, and I'm like legging it
39:40
Speaker 2: and there's all these mums watching me.
39:45
Speaker 1: Gross man, that's me right. We are close to wrapping
39:50
Speaker 1: up Ash.
39:51
Speaker 2: Yep.
39:51
Speaker 1: But I did get a lot of parent wins, but
39:55
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do it. I'm going to do
39:57
Speaker 1: it next week.
39:57
Speaker 2: I probably want to do it next week.
40:01
Speaker 1: Next week if you submitted your parent win and it's
40:03
Speaker 1: not being read out because I don't think it's great.
40:06
Speaker 1: I love them all.
40:07
Speaker 2: That's what you said before.
40:07
Speaker 1: It's just Ash has a tight schedule and he's very
40:11
Speaker 1: strict in how he runs his podcast. Yeah, I'm very
40:13
Speaker 1: If I veer off the plan, he'll beat me.
40:18

Speaker 2: I don't want.
41:59
Speaker 1: To be here.
41:59
Speaker 2: I don't want to go to the park, but for
42:01
Speaker 2: some reason, they think that we're going because we want
42:03
Speaker 2: to go where else you go?
42:05
Speaker 1: Oh great? I'd love to listen to hop Little Bunnies

42:57
Speaker 1: There is nothing more heartbreaking when you're a parent and
43:01
Speaker 1: they skipped start skipping the naps.
43:03
Speaker 2: I missed the nap. I miss Macy's naps so much

43:18
Speaker 2: I've got here is yeah, Oscar, I love it when
43:23
Speaker 2: you wear your socks outside.
43:26
Speaker 1: Why they like wearing this?
43:28
Speaker 2: The bottom of the sock is like brown shress. The
43:32
Speaker 2: other day he went out of the front it had
43:34
Speaker 2: just rained, and I was like, oh, for fox sake,
43:37
Speaker 2: it was already a bit muddy. And then he stepped
43:39
Speaker 2: in dog shit on the sock and I just folded
43:42
Speaker 2: the sock inside out and threw it straight in the bin.
43:44
Speaker 2: Was like, that's it. I'm not that's that sock's done for.
43:47
Speaker 1: What do they like wearing socks outside?
43:49
Speaker 2: It's funny. I think it's generational because I used to
43:53
Speaker 2: do that. My mom fucking hated it. Would you do
43:55
Speaker 2: it the same reason Oscar does it? Which is we're dumb?
44:02
Speaker 1: Question here, Ash before we go, what age do you
44:07
Speaker 1: think it's a From the Facebook group?
44:09
Speaker 2: By the way, Oh yeah, the group as a whole.
44:12
Speaker 1: An individual on the Facebook group asked the question from Shannon.
44:17
Speaker 1: In fact, it reads what it's.
44:23
Speaker 2: Like if you're like reading it out like a politician,
44:24
Speaker 2: and it reads read.
44:26
Speaker 1: I want to dramatize it. I'm doing it for the listeners.
44:29
Speaker 2: This is entertainment people listening.
44:32
Speaker 1: Was used to me, what age do you think it
44:35
Speaker 1: is appropriate for a child to have a TV in
44:37
Speaker 1: their bedroom? Would love to hear your pros and cons.
44:41
Speaker 1: I feel like you would have been a kid who
44:43
Speaker 1: had a TV in the bedroom. You're one of those.
44:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, look I had a TV in my bedroom. I
44:51
Speaker 2: knew it. Let me tell you about this TV. So,
44:54
Speaker 2: my dad used to be a medical rap Okay, he
44:58
Speaker 2: did selviagra for a while there. I used to sell
45:01
Speaker 2: it at school. I was a crafty young man. And
45:07
Speaker 2: what they used to do is they used to have
45:09
Speaker 2: in the doctor's offices back in the day. Was like
45:13
Speaker 2: a looked like a microwave, but it was just a
45:17
Speaker 2: VHS and that's it. So I had one of those
45:20
Speaker 2: in my room that was connected to a PlayStation, but
45:22
Speaker 2: it wasn't TV. I was a bit older. I honestly,
45:27
Speaker 2: I at the moment hate tv s. Put it outside,
45:31
Speaker 2: hate TVs in bedrooms, hate them. So April, She's like
45:35
Speaker 2: I can't wait. You have a TV in the bedroom again.
45:38
Speaker 1: You had one in your old house, didn't you.
45:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it wasn't for me, it was for April.
45:42
Speaker 1: I hate it, like TV is for the TV room.
45:53
Speaker 1: This is why people snip up that part. This is
45:59
Speaker 1: my wife. People don't need like white people, white men
46:03
Speaker 1: don't need podcasts.
46:04
Speaker 2: No, exactly right rooms. Something put some really insightful music
46:09
Speaker 2: behind this. TVs for the TV room. I get it, bro,
46:15
Speaker 2: I get it. I agree. Yeah, go on a hot girl. Look,
46:20
Speaker 2: I don't think I just have to jump it when
46:24
Speaker 2: we get I mean the pros are I could shut
46:25
Speaker 2: the door and they just leave me alone in there.
46:27
Speaker 2: I was like, they see your kids, but then I'd
46:30
Speaker 2: forget about them.
46:31
Speaker 1: I feel like it's it's it's isolating.
46:34
Speaker 2: It is isolating. Well said, And I know.
46:37
Speaker 1: I said this in the Facebook group, but I'm just
46:39
Speaker 1: going to reiterate my thoughts here on the podcast. I
46:42
Speaker 1: feel like by the time our kids are teenagers, like
46:47
Speaker 1: they will watch everything on their phone. Oh yeah, and
46:50
Speaker 1: so you know the.
46:51
Speaker 2: TV is going to be obsolete?
46:53
Speaker 1: Oh my god, are you Maybe.
46:55
Speaker 2: You're on something? Write that down?
46:56
Speaker 1: So I'm sure they'll be in their room, just like
46:58
Speaker 1: scrolling on their phone. And I'll be like, come on, kids,
47:01
Speaker 1: come on watch TV with me in the living room.
47:03
Speaker 1: They'll be like, shut up, Dad, you fucking lose up.
47:05
Speaker 1: I'll be like, love me.
47:06
Speaker 2: It's like TV. How fucking old are you? I don't
47:09
Speaker 2: even make those anymore. You're like, what do I listen
47:11
Speaker 2: to my discman? I, Well, here we go. Let me
47:15
Speaker 2: flip the question a little bit for you. At what
47:18
Speaker 2: age do you think that your kids will be allowed
47:23
Speaker 2: to have a phone, like a proper phone. Shit, okay,
47:28
Speaker 2: now we're talking. Now we're talking. Now we're in the future.
47:30
Speaker 1: Well, what my sister has done, which I quite like
47:36
Speaker 1: she has given their kids a phone, right, which is
47:41
Speaker 1: like an old Nokia, So no internet, just as a
47:45
Speaker 1: phone that you if you need. So if they come
47:48
Speaker 1: like home from school, right, because the eldest is like
47:51
Speaker 1: grade three, so he walks home from school. It's just
47:53
Speaker 1: around the corner. And so if he gets home, he
47:55
Speaker 1: needs to call someone because they don't have like no
47:57
Speaker 1: one's got home phones anymore. Oh yeah, so if he
48:00
Speaker 1: needs if there's an emergency, there's like a nockier phone
48:02
Speaker 1: there because you charge it once and it lasts for
48:05
Speaker 1: a month.
48:05
Speaker 2: Yeah.
48:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so they know they can.
48:08
Speaker 2: A thirty three ten or something.
48:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, they called me. Actually one time I was like.
48:12
Speaker 2: Who is this? It's like really crackly and help over.
48:20
Speaker 2: I've got a thirty three ten at home that I
48:22
Speaker 2: found at Nam's house.
48:23
Speaker 1: What about hang on, wait, how old were you when
48:26
Speaker 1: you when you first got a phone?
48:27
Speaker 2: I think I was thirteen yees But it was a
48:29
Speaker 2: different time though.
48:31
Speaker 1: It was a different time back then the internet.
48:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was like like now phones are fucking everywhere,
48:38
Speaker 2: Like I've got a draw full of phones at home
48:40
Speaker 2: like a drug dealer. I shouldn't have said that. I
48:43
Speaker 2: duped myself in there. You can. Actually my kids are
48:45
Speaker 2: allowed to burn if you want to buy a biagress
48:47
Speaker 2: from man literally fifty bucks for a sample pack. I'm
48:51
Speaker 2: not joking anyway, but yeah, that's actually not a bad idea.
48:56
Speaker 1: So I think maybe I want to give them like
48:58
Speaker 1: a like around thirteen fourteen. I want to give them
49:01
Speaker 1: a phone that has like call and text only, like
49:07
Speaker 1: not even a camera on it.
49:08
Speaker 2: I don't want to say anything because it's that old
49:10
Speaker 2: thing where it's like I said I'd never do that,
49:11
Speaker 2: and then I do it. I don't want to have.
49:13
Speaker 1: To oscar next week. And he's like, hey, there, what's
49:15
Speaker 1: going on.
49:16
Speaker 2: We've got two phones, He's got two I phones. Yeah,
49:19
Speaker 2: But anyway, I think the TV in the bedroom should
49:22
Speaker 2: be ruled out for kids because it is isolating. That's
49:26
Speaker 2: what I think.
49:27
Speaker 1: I agree with you for now.
49:30
Speaker 2: Well, well it's good to be back. Well, well, well,
49:33
Speaker 2: it's good for the kids to be back at school.

49:40
Speaker 2: that sentence.
49:41
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, it's nice to have a
49:42
Speaker 1: break us.

Speaker 2: Matt. That is all we have time for on this
50:09
Speaker 2: very pleasant episode of two doting dads.
50:11
Speaker 1: And if you have enjoyed this episode and thought it
50:14
Speaker 1: was pleasant as well, you can leave a review. Leave
50:17
Speaker 1: in the comments it was a pleasant episode. I enjoyed it,
50:22
Speaker 1: and give us some stars, maybe five. Someone in the
50:25
Speaker 1: Facebook group said I can only give a four star review,
50:29
Speaker 1: not a five star. And Spotify it won't let us
50:32
Speaker 1: submit when it's five stars, and I think we're being sabotaged.
50:37
Speaker 2: Is this for it? Yeah, dude, yeah, go in there
50:40
Speaker 2: and if I go and try and live a review
50:42
Speaker 2: at a five star.
50:43
Speaker 1: Actually, someone then wrote, probably because you've already given a
50:45
Speaker 1: review of five stars, you can't re submit the five
50:47
Speaker 1: star review. You can only change your review.
