Speaker 1: Apod Shake Production. Welcome back to another episode of Am
Speaker 1: I A Bad Mom? Podcast? Something funny happened that I
Speaker 1: wanted to bring up before we get into today's topic,
Speaker 1: because we were at your house for a photo shoot
Speaker 1: that you and Sam were doing. And so what happened
Speaker 1: is you had gone off with the videographer to do
Speaker 1: a bit of filming and I was setting up the
Speaker 1: next shot. Okay, this is great, and your two girls
Speaker 1: were at home.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you were with the girls.
Speaker 1: So I said to Elsie, I was like, do you
Speaker 1: have like a spray and white because where we were
Speaker 1: going to have the shot, there was a bit of
Speaker 1: bird poo on the deck and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's not going to look great. I'll just clean it off.
Speaker 1: And Elsie looked at me and she went, oh, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: here go and passed me a spraym wipe. She went
Speaker 1: what do you need it for? And I went, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm just going to clean off some birdpool off the
Speaker 1: back deck. And she looked at me with the funniest
Speaker 1: face and when did Mom ask you to do that?
Speaker 1: And it was almost like I could see her little
Speaker 1: brain ticking over. It was like Mums invited her friend
Speaker 1: over and asked her to clean the birdpool off the deck.
Speaker 2: She probably was like, I can't believe my mum's asked
Speaker 2: you to clean bird pool off our decks. So embarrassing
Speaker 2: she asked you to.
Speaker 1: Sorry, Kay, It's almost almost like I could almost feel
Speaker 1: that she felt embarrassed. She was like, sorry, sorry that
Speaker 1: your mom's got you cleaning. Am I a bad mum
Speaker 1: for not educating them? In general, I feel like we
Speaker 1: have touched on this subject many, many years ago, and
Speaker 1: now I'm revisiting it all these years on because I
Speaker 1: had a conversation. This was around Easter. So we're chatting
Speaker 1: about Easter and what Easter means, and I'm no expert.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know how much I can contribute to this.
Speaker 1: There are certain things that I know we do around Easter.
Speaker 1: For example, on Good Friday we eat fish. I'm unsure
Speaker 1: completely about why, but I think it's something to do
Speaker 1: with red meat and Jesus and so out of respect,
Speaker 1: we have fish on a Friday. On Good Friday, I
Speaker 1: was having this conversation with the girls and Amelia turned
Speaker 1: around and she went, I've been going to a ca
Speaker 1: Flick school for twelve years and I don't know the
Speaker 1: difference between God and Jesus.
Speaker 2: I was like, you're like this, okay, so how's religion?
Speaker 1: And she goes and who's Mary? And how does Mary fit?
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, Yes, you've been going
Speaker 1: to a calic school for twelve years. And also you've
Speaker 1: been doing religion almost every day, especially in high school.
Speaker 1: Like the amount of religion they do, like I have
Speaker 1: definitely questioned whether they should have been doing more math,
Speaker 1: Like how is religion so frequent? I know, but also
Speaker 1: how are you not knowing that stuff? Like I feel
Speaker 1: like I've got a bit of an excuse. I didn't
Speaker 1: go to a religious school. I went to a state school. Yes,
Speaker 1: so I'm like, okay, there's my excuse for not, you know,
Speaker 1: being fully educated on it. You've got no excuse. She'd
Speaker 1: been going to that school for twelve years.
Speaker 2: What is she doing during the religion like sessions that
Speaker 2: they go to every day?
Speaker 1: But they also online shopping putting stuff on deepop so
Speaker 1: they were allowed at school to listen to their music
Speaker 1: like they work with Spotify playing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do know that because Gracie has pushed the
Speaker 2: envelope of that a few times and going I need
Speaker 2: my own account, and I was like, no, well I
Speaker 2: pay for the family account so that we can all
Speaker 2: use the family account. No, well, I don't want to
Speaker 2: be classified as kid. I sorry class family, I said, sorry,
Speaker 2: I'm you twelve weird. But at the same time she
Speaker 2: does the same thing. So it must be like a
Speaker 2: high school thing. Yeah, but we just not have Spotify, right,
Speaker 2: we didn't have Spotify. No, so we didn't have streaming,
Speaker 2: so when people like people knew that when we were
Speaker 2: listening to music at school, teachers would know because we'd
Speaker 2: have like, you know, the ear pieces in and chords everywhere,
Speaker 2: and your discman was skipping and you.
Speaker 1: Didn't feel like you were allowed just only discom in
Speaker 1: a class. I didn't remember, not in class.
Speaker 2: No. I remember being on a bus and like if
Speaker 2: we were to and from like stuff, we were allowed
Speaker 2: to use it on a bus, but then it'd be like, no,
Speaker 2: not allowed to bring anything with you, like camps and
Speaker 2: stuff like that. Kids these days don't understand. They don't
Speaker 2: have enough appreciation.
Speaker 1: No. I think this is also going back to what
Speaker 1: we always talk about in that we don't allow them
Speaker 1: to be bored like you're supposed to be bored in math.
Speaker 1: Aren't you're supposed.
Speaker 2: To be when your brain is actually going to explore
Speaker 2: that idea of maths.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for me, that constant music playing is the need
Speaker 1: for something to be constantly happening. Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: how well you study with music. I don't think I
Speaker 1: could concentrate with music playing in my ears.
Speaker 2: But I know.
Speaker 1: But this is the weird part.
Speaker 2: I'm going to throw my brother under the bus here.
Speaker 2: So Luke, you know, he works for himself. He has
Speaker 2: his own business. He has like days where he goes.
Speaker 2: I just don't want to be at my desk. I
Speaker 2: want to just go into a cafe. I want to
Speaker 2: sit and have a delicious coffee. Yeah.
Speaker 1: He has a lot of cafe time, I feel like.
Speaker 2: Right, And he sits there and like tap tap tap tap,
Speaker 2: taps away on his laptop and at the same time
Speaker 2: has his air pods in. And I questioned him numerous
Speaker 2: times and was like, but how do you have music
Speaker 2: going while you're doing this, because in my head I'm
Speaker 2: going that's all too much. He has something on Spotify
Speaker 2: called Cafe Background Noises. It's a fucking playlist that just
Speaker 2: has noise in the background.
Speaker 1: The sound of the actual cafe a fake cafe. This
Speaker 1: is a real cafe.
Speaker 2: So he's sitting in a real cafe with real people
Speaker 2: with real noises, but has his air pods in on
Speaker 2: a Spotify playlist of cafe background noise, because he said,
Speaker 2: what happens is too many people come around him, like
Speaker 2: sitting next to him, in around him when he's working away.
Speaker 2: He said, I start to just listen to their conversations
Speaker 2: and try and be like, oh gosh, oh I could
Speaker 2: problem solve that. That would be easily done by this
Speaker 2: and this and this, and so he said, I get
Speaker 2: so sidetracked with everyone else's conversations, but I still want
Speaker 2: the cafe noise. So I put my AirPods in and
Speaker 2: have a cafe noise background playlist. Oh, it just sounds
Speaker 2: so fucked up to me.
Speaker 1: I was like, why do you just go home and
Speaker 1: sit in the Star office then and listen to anyone's conversation.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So maybe we could get some cafe background noise
Speaker 2: for our children and that would help them study a
Speaker 2: bit more and.
Speaker 1: Learn about the ground noises and they can sit in
Speaker 1: a real classroom with a classroom playlist on listen to
Speaker 1: a fake classroom whilst in a real classroom.
Speaker 2: You see how messeduff it sounds. Yeah, but that might
Speaker 2: help them focus on religion.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was like being my office like sorry, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're still blown away. I'm blown away by this because
Speaker 1: it's like being in an office and listening to an
Speaker 1: office sound effects playlist. Yes, being in a real office
Speaker 1: with real office noises listening to a fake office.
Speaker 2: See, I told you, I said this. I had the
Speaker 2: same conversation to He was like, you just don't understand
Speaker 2: till you tried it. Okay, So I tried it. I
Speaker 2: was still like, in my head, I still felt weird
Speaker 2: as shit because I'm looking and there's people around me,
Speaker 2: but I just have like this background like clunk clunk
Speaker 2: clunkin like just noise of like a cafe, but I'm
Speaker 2: watching people. But all it does is drown out your conversations.
Speaker 1: But that would have me also a little bit on edge.
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why, because I feel like if
Speaker 1: you can't hear the real sounds of what's going on, like,
Speaker 1: you could be in a dangerous situation. Imagine if someone
Speaker 1: came in, like armed or something. Imagine if something happened
Speaker 1: like or the fire alarm goes off or something something happens,
Speaker 1: and you're in your own little world, listening to your
Speaker 1: own make belief cafe. You're not knowing about the chaos
Speaker 1: that's happening in your own cafe because you can't hear it.
Speaker 2: Because I hope that, yeah, I was gonna say, I
Speaker 2: hope that your eyes would come up and look around
Speaker 2: and go, wow, that man's got a gun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I feel like i'd be honest.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, those kids are running out of here. Maybe
Speaker 2: there's a fire. The positive is that in this playlist
Speaker 2: of cafe noise while sitting in a real cafe, there's
Speaker 2: no kids noises, like you know sometimes when you go
Speaker 2: into a cafe and you're like, whoa, those kids are wild, wild,
Speaker 2: I'm not going to get anything done here.
Speaker 1: They're not adding that to that place, not in that playlist.
Speaker 2: So you could put them in, put your noise canceling on,
Speaker 2: still see the kids having a full meltdown, but not
Speaker 2: hear them.
Speaker 1: La la la la la. Yeah yeah yeah yeah. So
Speaker 1: that's a positive. Yeah.
Speaker 2: But going back to religion, I just need to know
Speaker 2: did you round out like or give them a quick
Speaker 2: summary of your detailed knowledge of.
Speaker 1: No no of religion, and it's just reminded me of
Speaker 1: something that because we've touched on similar conversations in the past,
Speaker 1: but it just reminds me of the time that we
Speaker 1: went to a fancy dress party and I was describing
Speaker 1: to you because Jay dressed up as Jesus, and I
Speaker 1: was describing the costume to you, and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, my la grand and You're looking so confused,
Speaker 1: and you're like, well, did he have like a white
Speaker 1: beard and like, and I was like, you're not thinking
Speaker 1: of Jesus, You're thinking of center.
Speaker 2: I've never done one single subject of religion. I've never
Speaker 2: been to Sunday school. I barely step into a church
Speaker 2: unless it's for a particular event of my friend's child.
Speaker 1: You don't need to be religious person or someone that
Speaker 1: has done religious education at school to know the difference
Speaker 1: between Santa and Jesus. Everybody knows what Jesus looks like,
Speaker 1: do they
