1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: We love this man. His first ever children's picture book,

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: Stupid Carrots, is available in just over a week's time October.

3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: First is the magnificent David. Well, how many.

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 2: Books do you reckon are in the cupboard that you

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 2: roll through for the kids, because you do get to

6
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 2: a point where you go, I need something fresh, I

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 2: need something new here.

8
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

9
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 3: The problem is with kids, as you guys know, is

10
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 3: that you may have like a cupboard.

11
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: For the book, only like five of them.

12
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, the ones like you know, each peach, pair, plum

13
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 3: and yeah, you got to do the same stuff.

14
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: Recall is a massive thing for kids, right because you

15
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: can show them a book, right, but if the next

16
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: night when they go to bed, if they can say

17
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: can I have Stupid Carrots again? That's it. You know

18
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 1: you've won. So okay, So when you wrote Stupid Carrots,

19
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: who were the test cases? Was it your kids or

20
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: did you go through a few kids and just to

21
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: see if you've got recall on the book?

22
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 3: No, I went through my kids because it was about

23
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 3: it's about my daughter, yes, and it's about all parents

24
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 3: going through that sort of five stage of grieving, you know,

25
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 3: the anger, bargaining, depression. But for hangar at dinner time. Yeah,

26
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 3: so this is about a bunny called Betty who thinks

27
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 3: that she doesn't want to have carrots for dinner, and

28
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 3: of course the family's going.

29
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: What are you an idiot? Were rabbits you have to eat?

30
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 3: Just don't know?

31
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: I want pizza.

32
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 3: It's so she goes through this, she tries everything to

33
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 3: get what she wants and can't get it, and then

34
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 3: you know, I won't go to the end, but there's

35
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 3: time trap.

36
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: Chapter four, about the Industrial Revolution, I thought was a

37
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: bit weird. I don't know what so this is.

38
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 2: It wasn't I thought it might have been built out

39
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: of anger of you yelling just eat your stupid carrot.

40
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: No.

41
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 3: So my daughter would walk around when she was about

42
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 3: three and a half, and she thought it was like

43
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 3: a like if you'd say, Betty, don't do that, she's like,

44
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 3: stupid carrots you anyway, So we always thought that was

45
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 3: a funny thing. So when Scholastic said, hey, you do

46
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 3: you want to write a kid's book, I've got a

47
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: title idea. I don't know where we're going.

48
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: That's fun. Is this the biggest problem you have with you?

49
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: It's food?

50
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 3: Because you are a bit older than mine, and we

51
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 3: are just entering the food struggle, and nighttime is the

52
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: worst time that day because dinner just eat?

53
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: Who doesn't want to eat?

54
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 3: The hardest thing I reckon with kids and food is

55
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 3: that sometimes if you're a parent, you either watch TV

56
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 3: or you don't at dinner time. And we sort of

57
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,399
Speaker 3: go between two so Lego Master's designs like we're gonna

58
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 3: watch TV for a while, and then you go, okay,

59
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 3: now it's not watching TV, and what do we do now?

60
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 3: I'm like, how about you eat?

61
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: Yeah?

62
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, So that's the big struggle.

63
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: I think.

64
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 2: Do you see your children? And similar to mine, have

65
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 2: you found yourself in a situation where a naughty word

66
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: has fallen out yet? And there have been many naughty

67
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: words that have that.

68
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 3: I was going to write a book about called the

69
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,839
Speaker 3: Naughty Finger. Betty has my dad has it too? Where

70
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 3: she points with this one right there you go. And

71
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 3: so she went to school and I went to school

72
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 3: to pick her up, and the teacher the school does

73
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 3: Christian stage, you know. I spoke to Betty because yes,

74
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 3: and Betty, your.

75
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: Understand the series liken't. I don't know about Christian studies.

76
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: How we know where Apple sits?

77
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 3: Am I right everybody in the illuminati anyway.

78
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: No, we've got her.

79
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 3: She went to Christians and she was asking the teacher

80
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 3: about Jesus stuff like that. And she goes, she goes

81
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 3: and she was pointing with the bad fingers. Betty, you

82
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 3: don't point with that finger, you point with the other one.

83
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 3: So Betty held up both bangers and went these one

84
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 3: to the Christian studies teacher. She's still, she's curious.

85
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: She's good because you do.

86
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 2: And you wonder, and then it becomes that argument that

87
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: you have with your with your partner as well, about

88
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: who taught them that word.

89
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's the car.

90
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 3: The car teachers, Yes, the cart when you try that's

91
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 3: when they go carts from the back seat.

92
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: That's me. Well that's it. And I mean you don't swear.

93
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: I mean you around pop as well. I mean, has

94
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: he stopped me swearing all together?

95
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 3: Absolutely? He's no, he's good around the kids. I don't

96
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 3: know how he doesn't swear around the kids. I swear

97
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 3: more around the kids. And my son, Leah, he's ten

98
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 3: now years and I've just given up with him. You

99
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 3: my you know, I just and be stuff.

100
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: The other day I did that.

101
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 3: I was starting to do the puberty talking and I'm like,

102
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: how did this go? He looked like he wanted to

103
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 3: climb out the window at the car. Honestly, in the

104
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 3: car the car, let's go.

105
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: We'll buy some sheet music.

106
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 3: We'll go by you know my clubs like piano, so

107
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 3: let's go buy some Why you know, stuff's going to

108
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 3: start growing a new body. They were probably were on

109
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 3: a freeway because I thought he was going to roll.

110
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 2: I was going to get out to see you know

111
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: what happened to me?

112
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: Have the corn? I had this issue where I was

113
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:46,559
Speaker 1: just book.

114
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: My parents never spoke to me about developing. So this

115
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: has been this ongoing issue generation with my parents. And

116
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: I developed so early, like I went from a boy

117
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: to a man overnight mustache.

118
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: So oh, you name it, you name it. It was.

119
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: Really we're three kids by the age of eleven marriage.

120
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: It's quite strange.

121
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 2: But I say to my kids, now we have the

122
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 2: conversation of you know, one day you're going to get

123
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 2: hair on your chest like this, You're gonna get hair

124
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: all over your body. And so the kids are excited

125
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: and they think it's somebody to look forward to. So

126
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 2: the other day they got out of the bath, and

127
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 2: for some reason there was a torch hanging around and

128
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: they grabbed the torch and they were pointing it at

129
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: their doodle went up to mom.

130
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: And said, Mom, look, I'm already getting pubes.

131
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 2: I'm turning into the manubes.

132
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: And I don't know that they're not. That's not a

133
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: pure that's something else. We're going through the stage now

134
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: where there's a bit of an aroma coming out of the.

135
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 3: Bark to shower more soon.

136
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,920

137
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: my hair? I don't have to. Why do we need

138
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: to use soaport? You know, because you steak mat clean
