00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: Apod Shake Production. Welcome back to another episode about I

2
00:00:24,961 --> 00:00:29,121
Speaker 1: Mad Moms Podcast. Okay, I'm gonna ask you a question.

3
00:00:29,161 --> 00:00:31,881
Speaker 1: Will you be having a bubbles tonight? Yes, because it's

4
00:00:31,921 --> 00:00:35,201
Speaker 1: started school holidays for you. Now, we talk often about

5
00:00:35,441 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: moms go you know, one of two ways. They either

6
00:00:38,881 --> 00:00:42,961
Speaker 1: love school holidays because it's less rushing around, no lunch

7
00:00:42,961 --> 00:00:46,721
Speaker 1: boxes to make, no after school activities, that kind of thing,

8
00:00:47,001 --> 00:00:50,961
Speaker 1: or they hate it because they have to do perhaps

9
00:00:51,001 --> 00:00:53,081
Speaker 1: after school care, so it's still a rush and there's

10
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,721
Speaker 1: still lunch at boxes to be done, and then the

11
00:00:55,801 --> 00:00:58,361
Speaker 1: kids just get bored. And it's expensive.

12
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,481
Speaker 2: It's expensive. It is so expensive. I think we're talking

13
00:01:01,481 --> 00:01:03,681
Speaker 2: about it in the podcast like last week or something

14
00:01:03,761 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: like that, and you were saying that you have like

15
00:01:05,921 --> 00:01:10,761
Speaker 2: certain rules implemented with uber eats. When we were growing up,

16
00:01:11,441 --> 00:01:14,321
Speaker 2: what would we have done to our parents to make

17
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: it the same as now what your kids do with

18
00:01:16,401 --> 00:01:19,441
Speaker 2: uber eats. When we were kids, we got like maybe

19
00:01:19,481 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: five dollars to go to the corner store and maybe

20
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: buy I don't know what you bought from a corner Stan,

21
00:01:23,801 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: what did you buy it from the corner sooan like

22
00:01:25,601 --> 00:01:29,441
Speaker 2: a pie? Yeah, I remember always buying the same sandwich

23
00:01:29,601 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: and then I'd get like a choky milk and then

24
00:01:32,121 --> 00:01:33,961
Speaker 2: like a donut and you could probably get that all

25
00:01:34,041 --> 00:01:36,281
Speaker 2: five dollars. Yeah, but we were talking about your girl

26
00:01:36,321 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: spending like dropping like forty two dollars on Gusman.

27
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,121
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy.

28
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,121
Speaker 2: Right. So now that we're in holidays, are you implementing

29
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,961
Speaker 2: new rules about how many times they're allowed to audo

30
00:01:47,041 --> 00:01:49,361
Speaker 2: uber eats whilst you're at work and they're at home? Yeah?

31
00:01:49,401 --> 00:01:54,841
Speaker 1: None, No, none, because if there's food in the fridge, yeah,

32
00:01:54,921 --> 00:01:57,401
Speaker 1: then you make yourself some food. And we've talked about

33
00:01:57,401 --> 00:02:01,601
Speaker 1: it four. It really irritates me when they get convenience foods,

34
00:02:01,961 --> 00:02:05,161
Speaker 1: like pre packed stuff that is for lunch boxes. They

35
00:02:05,281 --> 00:02:07,561
Speaker 1: just eat our home, come bother to make anything else.

36
00:02:08,121 --> 00:02:10,121
Speaker 1: I got home the other day, right because my girls

37
00:02:10,121 --> 00:02:12,481
Speaker 1: have been on school holidays this week as well, and

38
00:02:12,521 --> 00:02:14,921
Speaker 1: I got home the other day, I found the dishwasher

39
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,241
Speaker 1: and there was a lot of stuff in there, and

40
00:02:17,321 --> 00:02:19,921
Speaker 1: I was like, what have they even making? Like I

41
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,001
Speaker 1: could tell there were bits of rice and like I

42
00:02:23,041 --> 00:02:25,001
Speaker 1: was like, what the hell did you make?

43
00:02:25,601 --> 00:02:25,761
Speaker 2: Oh?

44
00:02:25,841 --> 00:02:28,001
Speaker 1: Mom, we had a great lunch, So yeah, we made

45
00:02:28,161 --> 00:02:30,441
Speaker 1: rice and then we did like a white wine, vinegar,

46
00:02:30,601 --> 00:02:34,081
Speaker 1: sesame oil, sauce, and we had some vegetables in there.

47
00:02:34,161 --> 00:02:35,761
Speaker 1: And then we were telling me all this stuff. I

48
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,761
Speaker 1: was like, oh, wow, so you can't do it then,

49
00:02:38,081 --> 00:02:40,841
Speaker 1: I mean that you've used everything in our kitchen.

50
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,961
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd take that. I'd take that one with it,

51
00:02:44,081 --> 00:02:46,441
Speaker 2: but you do not come at me now, and so

52
00:02:46,641 --> 00:02:47,481
Speaker 2: you can't make dinner.

53
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,041
Speaker 1: No, No, it'll be once in three weeks.

54
00:02:49,641 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 2: Honestly, just on that note of like using everything that's possible,

55
00:02:55,641 --> 00:02:58,961
Speaker 2: I had to really like let go of some control strings.

56
00:02:59,001 --> 00:03:01,881
Speaker 2: The other day, Gracie had brought over her little friend

57
00:03:02,321 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 2: and then Mike, Gracie says to her, do you want

58
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: to make cookies? And I was like I just had

59
00:03:08,121 --> 00:03:10,001
Speaker 2: to shut up. And just to top it off, like

60
00:03:10,081 --> 00:03:13,361
Speaker 2: the house had just been cleaned the day before, you

61
00:03:13,441 --> 00:03:16,441
Speaker 2: know that feeling. And then I turn around someone else

62
00:03:16,481 --> 00:03:18,561
Speaker 2: has dropped in and I'm chatting with them. So I'm

63
00:03:18,561 --> 00:03:21,881
Speaker 2: distracted and I'm trying my best not to a look

64
00:03:22,081 --> 00:03:25,241
Speaker 2: over towards kitchen because otherwise I'm going to lose it.

65
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: I could hear an applian it's being used, and it

66
00:03:28,201 --> 00:03:30,841
Speaker 2: was starting. I knew which fiance was and I was

67
00:03:30,921 --> 00:03:34,321
Speaker 2: like so on May has decided she knows how to

68
00:03:34,361 --> 00:03:37,241
Speaker 2: make chok chip cookies because it's in the Thermo mix.

69
00:03:37,681 --> 00:03:41,161
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and she's put in choc chips into the

70
00:03:41,161 --> 00:03:45,001
Speaker 2: Thermo and started blitzing them. Clearly don't need to because

71
00:03:45,001 --> 00:03:48,401
Speaker 2: they're chok chips. And then I said, sorry, stop, whoa

72
00:03:48,441 --> 00:03:52,841
Speaker 2: who I'm starting to twitch. Ah no, mum, See this

73
00:03:52,881 --> 00:03:54,201
Speaker 2: is the thing. It says. I had to have a

74
00:03:54,201 --> 00:03:56,281
Speaker 2: whole block of chocolate and that's why I needed to

75
00:03:56,321 --> 00:03:58,441
Speaker 2: put it on to number eight because then it's going

76
00:03:58,481 --> 00:04:01,641
Speaker 2: to break it down. I said, So, technically it's already

77
00:04:01,641 --> 00:04:03,921
Speaker 2: broken down because you've put choc chips in, so you

78
00:04:03,961 --> 00:04:07,561
Speaker 2: don't need to act skip that. Remember skip This machine

79
00:04:07,601 --> 00:04:10,921
Speaker 2: is like pretty pricey. So just letting you know that

80
00:04:11,001 --> 00:04:13,721
Speaker 2: if you really basically fuck this machine up, it's going

81
00:04:13,761 --> 00:04:16,001
Speaker 2: to empty your bank account, I said, because this is

82
00:04:16,041 --> 00:04:18,961
Speaker 2: not a toy. The other Grace goes, oh, maybe we

83
00:04:18,961 --> 00:04:20,921
Speaker 2: shouldn't do this. Let's just do it in a mixing bowl. Grace,

84
00:04:20,921 --> 00:04:21,841
Speaker 2: I think I know how to do it in a

85
00:04:21,921 --> 00:04:25,281
Speaker 2: mixing bowl. Like it in a mixing bowl.

86
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:26,321
Speaker 1: For the love of God.

87
00:04:26,521 --> 00:04:31,041
Speaker 2: Anyway, she puts in cinnamon. I did not consume one,

88
00:04:32,401 --> 00:04:34,681
Speaker 2: but I put them in their lunchboxes until they were gone.

89
00:04:34,841 --> 00:04:39,001
Speaker 1: Yea, in your lunchbox every single day.

90
00:04:40,201 --> 00:04:40,481
Speaker 2: Mate.

91
00:04:40,521 --> 00:04:43,161
Speaker 1: You knows weird as cinnamon.

92
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:55,041
Speaker 3: Chocolate chip cookies. You eat them?

93
00:04:55,281 --> 00:04:58,681
Speaker 2: Am I bad mum for allowing them to hang out

94
00:04:58,721 --> 00:05:02,121
Speaker 2: with my friends. Oh honestly, Katie, I was driving here

95
00:05:02,121 --> 00:05:05,801
Speaker 2: thinking you are gonna froth over this topic. Not often

96
00:05:05,801 --> 00:05:08,481
Speaker 2: do they just go and hang out with friends of mine,

97
00:05:08,961 --> 00:05:11,041
Speaker 2: So got myself into a pickle. A couple of weeks ago,

98
00:05:11,081 --> 00:05:16,321
Speaker 2: Elsie started tutoring. I'm single parenting, and I, for some reason,

99
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: the logistics of picking up Elsie from tutoring at the

100
00:05:20,641 --> 00:05:22,441
Speaker 2: same time as having to be at the bus stop

101
00:05:22,481 --> 00:05:24,041
Speaker 2: to pick up Gracy. I just didn't know how to

102
00:05:24,041 --> 00:05:26,721
Speaker 2: do it. I I just couldn't. I was like, bucket,

103
00:05:26,801 --> 00:05:30,801
Speaker 2: I don't know what to do. So beautiful friend of

104
00:05:30,841 --> 00:05:33,601
Speaker 2: mine said, how about I pick up else from tutoring

105
00:05:33,681 --> 00:05:36,841
Speaker 2: and I'll just drop her back home and I'll sit

106
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,241
Speaker 2: with her for half until you get home from Grace

107
00:05:39,361 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 2: and easy, I've got nothing on this afternoon. Yes, that

108
00:05:42,361 --> 00:05:45,041
Speaker 2: would be amazing, Thank you. That would help me out heaps.

109
00:05:45,361 --> 00:05:50,921
Speaker 2: Fast forward from this happening, and Elsie is at me

110
00:05:51,521 --> 00:05:54,561
Speaker 2: do you know what my particular said friend has told

111
00:05:54,681 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 2: my daughter. So she comes to me and she says, Mum,

112
00:05:58,401 --> 00:06:01,361
Speaker 2: I found out that at this particular place in Samford,

113
00:06:02,081 --> 00:06:07,721
Speaker 2: you're allowed to go and you adopt chickens. Yeah, adopt chickens.

114
00:06:07,801 --> 00:06:09,681
Speaker 2: I was like looking around and I was like, I'm

115
00:06:09,681 --> 00:06:13,321
Speaker 2: gonna get her back adopt chickens. I'm not adopting chickens.

116
00:06:13,641 --> 00:06:15,681
Speaker 2: And then I was like, yeah, tell me more else.

117
00:06:15,761 --> 00:06:17,841
Speaker 2: Like in my head, like I'd watched an Instagram real

118
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,201
Speaker 2: that was like, don't shut stuff down, and so in

119
00:06:20,201 --> 00:06:23,761
Speaker 2: my head I was like, don't say direct no, And

120
00:06:23,841 --> 00:06:25,801
Speaker 2: so I was like, yeah, tell me more. Yeah, I

121
00:06:26,001 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 2: want to know all about it. Month you go in

122
00:06:28,281 --> 00:06:30,281
Speaker 2: and all you have to do is like pay money

123
00:06:30,361 --> 00:06:32,641
Speaker 2: and then you bring the baby chicks home and then

124
00:06:32,681 --> 00:06:34,281
Speaker 2: you look after it for the weekend.

125
00:06:34,561 --> 00:06:37,161
Speaker 1: Hang on for a second, that sounds like buying a chicken.

126
00:06:37,281 --> 00:06:38,641
Speaker 2: Yep, that's what I thought.

127
00:06:38,841 --> 00:06:40,441
Speaker 1: So we're paying money and buying a.

128
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: Chicken, baby chicks, two of them, ye, and you bring

129
00:06:45,081 --> 00:06:48,441
Speaker 2: them home supposedly in a cage, and you look after

130
00:06:48,521 --> 00:06:49,361
Speaker 2: them for the weekend.

131
00:06:49,481 --> 00:06:55,481
Speaker 1: For keep weekend, you're hiring chickens, and then you take

132
00:06:55,521 --> 00:06:58,801
Speaker 1: them back on the Monday or whenever you I don't know.

133
00:06:59,121 --> 00:07:02,961
Speaker 2: So you pay money to hire somebody else, So you're

134
00:07:03,001 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 2: like going to take home somebody else's chick and raise

135
00:07:06,001 --> 00:07:09,121
Speaker 2: them and then give them back and you pay for it.

136
00:07:09,601 --> 00:07:10,281
Speaker 2: You pay for it.

137
00:07:10,241 --> 00:07:14,761
Speaker 1: It was like a reverse Airbnb for chicks where you

138
00:07:14,961 --> 00:07:17,241
Speaker 1: have to pay to have them at your house.

139
00:07:18,561 --> 00:07:21,201
Speaker 2: Why And then I was thinking about it, going what

140
00:07:21,241 --> 00:07:24,161
Speaker 2: if it dies? What happens if they die? Because I've

141
00:07:24,201 --> 00:07:27,481
Speaker 2: got treves in the house. What if I come in eating.

142
00:07:27,241 --> 00:07:28,801
Speaker 1: Them in the chicks?

143
00:07:28,961 --> 00:07:31,041
Speaker 2: Yeah? What do I do? Then? Just pay more money?

144
00:07:31,281 --> 00:07:34,361
Speaker 1: Do you get chicks? There some sort of insurance?

145
00:07:35,361 --> 00:07:39,241
Speaker 2: I had to message my bread this morning and go, right,

146
00:07:40,001 --> 00:07:45,641
Speaker 2: what is this nonsense about adopting chicks and then bringing

147
00:07:45,641 --> 00:07:47,441
Speaker 2: them to my house? I was like, this kid has

148
00:07:47,481 --> 00:07:50,801
Speaker 2: not let up about it. Elsie is a mad football fan.

149
00:07:51,001 --> 00:07:52,961
Speaker 2: She goes, don't worry about Bronx. I don't need to go.

150
00:07:53,001 --> 00:07:56,121
Speaker 2: I don't want to go. We'll have chicks. We'll we'll

151
00:07:56,161 --> 00:07:58,401
Speaker 2: stay home with the chicks and we'll watch from home.

152
00:07:58,921 --> 00:08:01,161
Speaker 1: Yeah, and how long are they going to look after

153
00:08:01,201 --> 00:08:03,161
Speaker 1: these chickens for? Are they going to be out there

154
00:08:03,201 --> 00:08:06,121
Speaker 1: all day looking up? Are they going to feed them

155
00:08:06,161 --> 00:08:08,721
Speaker 1: three times. I don't know what time chicks get up

156
00:08:08,721 --> 00:08:09,201
Speaker 1: in the morning.

157
00:08:09,281 --> 00:08:10,721
Speaker 2: I don't even I don't know.

158
00:08:11,001 --> 00:08:14,321
Speaker 1: But eat them safe. You're to keep them warm. It's winter.

159
00:08:14,841 --> 00:08:18,561
Speaker 2: This is what happens when you allow your kids hang

160
00:08:18,641 --> 00:08:22,001
Speaker 2: out with your friends. Your brands think it's funny to

161
00:08:22,081 --> 00:08:24,641
Speaker 2: tell your kids stuff they know that you don't want

162
00:08:24,641 --> 00:08:24,841
Speaker 2: to do.

163
00:08:25,081 --> 00:08:27,601
Speaker 1: You don't want to do that. It's like a foster

164
00:08:27,721 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: home for chicks.

165
00:08:28,721 --> 00:08:32,441
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I feel like my weekend coming up is.

166
00:08:32,601 --> 00:08:34,281
Speaker 1: Going to be for the weekend.

167
00:08:34,361 --> 00:08:34,521
Speaker 3: Rage.

168
00:08:34,561 --> 00:08:36,041
Speaker 1: You want to come out on the boat and I'm sorry,

169
00:08:36,081 --> 00:08:38,961
Speaker 1: I can't. I've adopted chickens just for the weekend.

170
00:08:40,081 --> 00:08:43,081
Speaker 2: And paid for it. Yes, what kind of fucking system

171
00:08:43,161 --> 00:08:44,281
Speaker 2: is that? Stupid?

172
00:08:44,521 --> 00:08:49,161
Speaker 1: That is when you foster children like human children, you

173
00:08:49,201 --> 00:08:51,841
Speaker 1: get money from the government. I don't know, she's someone

174
00:08:51,881 --> 00:08:54,361
Speaker 1: that us you. I'm in your food surely, so this

175
00:08:55,041 --> 00:08:58,001
Speaker 1: I mean a brilliant business idea. I know, I don't

176
00:08:58,001 --> 00:09:01,081
Speaker 1: even mend you these animals for the weekend, and.

177
00:09:01,041 --> 00:09:07,081
Speaker 2: You pay us, then hopefully you want to buy them

178
00:09:07,081 --> 00:09:09,121
Speaker 2: from us in the end and keep them and raise

179
00:09:09,201 --> 00:09:12,241
Speaker 2: chicken option. No, I don't want to. I don't want

180
00:09:12,281 --> 00:09:15,041
Speaker 2: any more chocks. We've been through this, h We've done

181
00:09:15,081 --> 00:09:15,761
Speaker 2: the chook thing.

182
00:09:16,841 --> 00:09:21,161
Speaker 1: You remember that you gave chicken thinking, oh, that's a

183
00:09:21,201 --> 00:09:24,641
Speaker 1: lovely gift. They live out at Samford, they've got acreage.

184
00:09:24,641 --> 00:09:26,001
Speaker 1: I know what they would really.

185
00:09:25,801 --> 00:09:26,761
Speaker 2: Like a chicken. Chicken.

186
00:09:27,241 --> 00:09:28,241
Speaker 1: We brought you a chicken.

187
00:09:28,481 --> 00:09:31,561
Speaker 2: Its name we named it was Rogue. It was the

188
00:09:31,601 --> 00:09:34,841
Speaker 2: most rogue chook I had ever encountered.

189
00:09:34,921 --> 00:09:36,401
Speaker 1: It used to just come into your house.

190
00:09:36,441 --> 00:09:38,761
Speaker 2: It was always in my house, and then I'd pull

191
00:09:38,841 --> 00:09:41,281
Speaker 2: up in my car and then like if i'd open

192
00:09:41,361 --> 00:09:44,241
Speaker 2: my door, there it is, and then it just jumps

193
00:09:44,281 --> 00:09:47,281
Speaker 2: in my car in your car. And then the day

194
00:09:47,321 --> 00:09:49,721
Speaker 2: that I literally thought I had a snake in the

195
00:09:49,801 --> 00:09:53,121
Speaker 2: house because it's just me, either a snake or a ghost.

196
00:09:53,441 --> 00:09:56,561
Speaker 2: It is just me and the whole entire house. It's

197
00:09:56,601 --> 00:09:59,081
Speaker 2: in the middle of the day and all of a sudden,

198
00:09:59,281 --> 00:10:05,361
Speaker 2: the xylophone starts going a xylophone you guys, like, it's

199
00:10:05,401 --> 00:10:08,761
Speaker 2: a fucking chook jump through the window.

200
00:10:09,961 --> 00:10:12,601
Speaker 1: Through the window and starts playing there.

201
00:10:12,521 --> 00:10:15,281
Speaker 2: And it's like dancing on it. So it's little nails

202
00:10:15,281 --> 00:10:18,081
Speaker 2: are going ding ding ding ding ding, And I was like, what,

203
00:10:18,441 --> 00:10:22,241
Speaker 2: it's a musicals, a musical chicken yeah. And then to

204
00:10:22,241 --> 00:10:24,481
Speaker 2: top that off, you gave us a chook that we

205
00:10:24,681 --> 00:10:28,401
Speaker 2: thought wasn't even laying eggs. And that's the whole point

206
00:10:28,401 --> 00:10:31,761
Speaker 2: why you get chooks, right, you want fresh eggs. This

207
00:10:31,801 --> 00:10:35,041
Speaker 2: thing didn't ever lift its game, never, never, never ever

208
00:10:35,041 --> 00:10:36,801
Speaker 2: got one egg from it. Do you know why why

209
00:10:36,921 --> 00:10:39,921
Speaker 2: it's hiding them? When we finally gave it away, I

210
00:10:40,001 --> 00:10:42,641
Speaker 2: found all its eggs. It was probably the best layer

211
00:10:42,681 --> 00:10:44,761
Speaker 2: we'd ever had that we didn't know where it was

212
00:10:44,841 --> 00:10:45,281
Speaker 2: laying them.

213
00:10:45,481 --> 00:10:48,401
Speaker 1: That was a smart chicken.

214
00:10:48,761 --> 00:10:50,561
Speaker 2: Like a pile of eggs, file.

215
00:10:50,401 --> 00:10:52,921
Speaker 1: Of eggs plays the xylophone.

216
00:10:54,241 --> 00:10:56,441
Speaker 2: I had its wings clipped because it kept jumping out

217
00:10:56,441 --> 00:10:59,481
Speaker 2: of the chook area. I had to hide to see

218
00:10:59,521 --> 00:11:02,041
Speaker 2: how it was getting out, because it's like when you

219
00:11:02,081 --> 00:11:04,681
Speaker 2: get their wings clip, they can't fly. Do you know

220
00:11:04,681 --> 00:11:08,241
Speaker 2: what did? It hopped from one level into another level,

221
00:11:08,281 --> 00:11:10,561
Speaker 2: to another level to another level to it reached the

222
00:11:10,561 --> 00:11:12,041
Speaker 2: top and then just jumped straight down.

223
00:11:12,281 --> 00:11:14,361
Speaker 1: Oh right, We could have made millions from this.

224
00:11:14,361 --> 00:11:16,921
Speaker 2: This was like a circus truck, a circus chok.

225
00:11:18,281 --> 00:11:21,721
Speaker 1: You didn't allow him to be his full potential. He

226
00:11:21,881 --> 00:11:24,321
Speaker 1: was a musical, he was talented.

227
00:11:24,841 --> 00:11:29,441
Speaker 2: And now I better spend my weekend fostering chicks.

228
00:11:29,601 --> 00:11:32,001
Speaker 1: That chicken was smart. You're on the lookout for the

229
00:11:32,041 --> 00:11:32,721
Speaker 1: next one.

230
00:11:33,561 --> 00:11:35,441
Speaker 2: Maybe we had on chickens
