Speaker 1: Hello, Hi malam monte y'all. Hope you're going okay. If
Speaker 1: you're new to the podcast, thanks for listening. These are
Speaker 1: like our little bite sized nuggets. Yess a quick chat, little.
Speaker 2: Tidbit, if you will, could be anything, and it often
Speaker 2: is anything, would be facts, could be story, yes, yeah, well,
Speaker 2: sorry to take a sip of my coffee, my dead
Speaker 2: cold coffee. Yuck.
Speaker 1: It's so it's always shocking to the system when you're
Speaker 1: having a tea or a coffee and you put it
Speaker 1: down and you leave it just that minute or two
Speaker 1: too long, and then it's lukewarm or cold. It's just
Speaker 1: a whole other experience.
Speaker 3: My mum always orders her coffee extra hot. Yeah right,
Speaker 3: that surprises me too.
Speaker 1: It hurts. It's too hot.
Speaker 3: When it's too hot, it hurts anyway, each to their own.
Speaker 3: So today I read this thing. It got me right
Speaker 3: in the balls. Wow, I read.
Speaker 1: Its big balls there, babe.
Speaker 3: I know you know the ball tingle you get, you know,
Speaker 3: like when you look. I always say, it's a tingle
Speaker 3: in your balls. But you know what I mean, the
Speaker 3: pity your stomach, the badge even when you look down
Speaker 3: off something really high, or you go on a ride
Speaker 3: and you get that feeling like that butterfly sort of feeling.
Speaker 3: But yeah, okay, anyway, this gave me that maybe more
Speaker 3: intense goosebumps if you will.
Speaker 1: Okay, but it was.
Speaker 3: This guy named James McNicholas on Instagram. He is an
Speaker 3: actor and a writer and he does I posted one
Speaker 3: on my Instagram. He does these hilarious like he'll talk
Speaker 3: the lyrics to a song but in character. But it's
Speaker 3: so good his Oh okay, he's really great. But anyway.
Speaker 3: Pinned at the top of his Instagram page was something
Speaker 3: that he wrote the that his son was born, and
Speaker 3: I thought I would share it with you all because
Speaker 3: it was so beautiful. Okay, one day I'll take you
Speaker 3: to the football. You'll be cold and ask me which
Speaker 3: team we are. I'll buy a program for you, but
Speaker 3: it'll be me that keeps it in a drawer forever.
Speaker 3: One day you'll laugh at nothing, and it'll be better
Speaker 3: than any joke I've ever told. One day we'll build
Speaker 3: a fort. One day we'll go to Disney and you
Speaker 3: can meet the real Mickey. One day you'll cry so
Speaker 3: much I'll think you're broken. One day I'll tell you
Speaker 3: that when Mummy went into labor, I panicked and immediately
Speaker 3: ordered myself for Papa John's pizza. When the doorbell went
Speaker 3: she assumed it was the cab taking us to the hospital.
Speaker 3: It wasn't. It was a guy delivering an American. One
Speaker 3: day we'll watch Frozen, and then the day after that
Speaker 3: we'll probably watch it again. One day we'll stop watching Frozen,
Speaker 3: then we'll watch Frozen too. One day we'll go to
Speaker 3: the beach. I'll catch a crab, if they're not extinct
Speaker 3: by then. One day we'll listen to music in the
Speaker 3: car and I'll try and explain what UK garage was.
Speaker 3: One day, you won't need me to get you dressed.
Speaker 3: One day I might need you to dress me.
Speaker 1: This is fucking so sad.
Speaker 3: One day you'll figure out that your uncle is actually
Speaker 3: my brother and it'll blow your tiny mind. One day you, oh, fuck,
Speaker 3: this is hard, this is so hard. One day you'll
Speaker 3: be able to hold my hand instead of me just
Speaker 3: holding yours. One day you want to go camping. That'll
Speaker 3: be a firm no from me. But maybe you can
Speaker 3: join the Scouts or something and go with them. One
Speaker 3: day you'll draw me a picture, and I'll keep it
Speaker 3: on the fridge under a magnet that me and your
Speaker 3: mum bought when we went on a holiday to Magaloof.
Speaker 3: One day i'll ask you about school and who your
Speaker 3: mates are and what subjects you like. One day we'll
Speaker 3: go on a plane. No, we won't, and you won't
Speaker 3: be scared, because why would you be. One day you'll
Speaker 3: have an Instagram or TikTok, or a microchip in your brain,
Speaker 3: or whatever they're doing these days. One day I'll show
Speaker 3: you pictures and videos and try to prove I had
Speaker 3: a life before I was your dad. I'll say I
Speaker 3: had long hair and went to a party with famous people,
Speaker 3: and you won't believe me. One day you'll be too
Speaker 3: big for your clothes or your bed or for cuddles.
Speaker 3: One day i'll tell you we all stayed inside for
Speaker 3: two years because someone got off with a bat. One
Speaker 3: day you'll have a boyfriend or a girlfriend or someone else.
Speaker 3: One day you'll love someone more than me. One day,
Speaker 3: I won't see you every day. One day you'll be eighteen,
Speaker 3: and I wonder how that happened and why I didn't
Speaker 3: spend more time with you. One day you'll be angry
Speaker 3: at me. You'll realize all the ways that I'm mean
Speaker 3: perfect and in which I'm messed up, And all I
Speaker 3: can say is that I'm already sorry and that I
Speaker 3: always tried to do my best. One day we'll argue
Speaker 3: because I'm old now and I don't understand the world,
Speaker 3: because you think people should be allowed to marry their
Speaker 3: phones and I don't agree. One day I won't be here,
Speaker 3: and one day I wonder at how I knew all
Speaker 3: of this after just one day. But for now, that
Speaker 3: one day is more than enough. And I just read
Speaker 3: it and I was like, you know, we get so
Speaker 3: tied up in life. Like my kids are always like, oh,
Speaker 3: but can we do this? Can we do that? And
Speaker 3: I know that it's their way of wanting to spend
Speaker 3: more time. Yeah, And I try to say to them,
Speaker 3: you know, we can have that idea that, oh, you know,
Speaker 3: life's short, spend time together. There's also a reality that
Speaker 3: you have to work because if you want things, we
Speaker 3: have to work. But when I read that, I'm like,
Speaker 3: it does go so quick, It goes so quick, and
Speaker 3: that regret of thinking, oh fuck, time is running out
Speaker 3: where they're not going to want us anymore and they're
Speaker 3: going to move on with their lives, I know, and
Speaker 3: how hard that is for your parents, and how we
Speaker 3: don't really have maybe as much sympathy empathy, I don't
Speaker 3: know what the word is, as we should because that
Speaker 3: thought that we have, yeah, is probably how they feel
Speaker 3: as well. Yeah, that I thought it was really beautiful.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, it's so beautiful. It's just the whole
Speaker 3: time made me think of my three boys. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: just the same how it's like stuff has to get done,
Speaker 3: you know, around the house or you know, yeah, with work,
Speaker 3: and just how often I just don't.
Speaker 1: Do things with them. Yeah, Like I'm gonna get really emotional,
Speaker 1: but just like I'm Odie's world, Like he's three and
Speaker 1: he still hasn't figured it out. I've got flaws and
Speaker 1: he had you know, the older two have now where
Speaker 1: he hasn't. And he'll be like, mom, come do drawing
Speaker 1: with me, and I'll be like, I'm cooking dinner. And
Speaker 1: then as I'm doing that, because he's my last I'm
Speaker 1: like you should be doing that with him. But then
Speaker 1: it's like, but fuck, I have to cook the boys dinner.
Speaker 1: Like it's just you're constantly torn, you know, And then
Speaker 1: I know, but I try to do more. Like it's
Speaker 1: almost like I try with him, going he's my last
Speaker 1: do more with him. But you know, my twelve year
Speaker 1: old still wants me to lay with him at night,
Speaker 1: and Sam and I often will say there's going to
Speaker 1: be one night where he's like, don't need to lay
Speaker 1: with me tonight, and that will be the last, you know,
Speaker 1: it'll be, Yeah, the last of It's not going to
Speaker 1: be no one night and then the next night. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's like the start of the end of that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like that idea they do say, like everyone
Speaker 3: thinks about the first of everything, but you never know when.
Speaker 1: The last ever know when the last.
Speaker 3: Year, the last time you pick him up, the last
Speaker 3: time you change a nappy, the last time you whatever.
Speaker 3: It just happens and then you think, oh, that doesn't
Speaker 3: happen anymore. Yeah, but yeah, just even that idea that
Speaker 3: you don't have compassion for your parents, for the people
Speaker 3: that they are. You hold them up to this standard
Speaker 3: of what you think they should be. But then when
Speaker 3: it's you, you think, I can be shitty and selfish
Speaker 3: and all those things because I'm still I'm still myself
Speaker 3: even though i'm your parent, and that you give up
Speaker 3: a lot of who you are for your kids.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Yeah, it's.
Speaker 3: Complicated, but I just thought, jeez, that's a such a mind.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm so glad that you shared that. That was
Speaker 1: really special. Fun one.
Speaker 3: Just a reminder just to fuck up. I'm trying to
Speaker 3: make dinner.
Speaker 2: Your little last hole.

Speaker 1: catch to the bus?
