You like critique a little. 27 00:01:58,810 --> 00:02:01,770 Speaker 3: There's vibe criteria, checks and balances. 28 00:02:01,970 --> 00:02:04,330 Speaker 1: Yeah, but we're here to make you feel better about them. 29 00:02:04,530 --> 00:02:08,330 Speaker 3: Yes.

But the trick is the worst 33 00:02:19,730 --> 00:02:22,730 Speaker 3: parent you are, yeah, most likely, and it changes week 34 00:02:22,770 --> 00:02:25,330 Speaker 3: to week depending on our mood. And hence what we 35 00:02:25,330 --> 00:02:29,130 Speaker 3: said about the vibe check. Hormonal cycles do impact tolerance 36 00:02:29,370 --> 00:02:33,130 Speaker 3: levels and that's fine, but basically, the worst you are, 37 00:02:33,170 --> 00:02:34,050 Speaker 3: the more points you'll get. 38 00:02:34,170 --> 00:02:38,530 Speaker 1: Yes, and I'm feeling particularly fisty today speaking of the hormonals. Ohack, 39 00:02:38,610 --> 00:02:39,330 Speaker 1: have we sind up? 40 00:02:39,450 --> 00:02:40,770 Speaker 3: Maybe a little cute? 41 00:02:41,170 --> 00:02:43,450 Speaker 1: So before we get into that, we always make sure 42 00:02:43,450 --> 00:02:48,050 Speaker 1: that it is a trusted space where we confess something ourself. Yes, 43 00:02:48,090 --> 00:02:51,250 Speaker 1: but I've kind of stuffed up this week. I've been 44 00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:52,130 Speaker 1: an excellent parent. 45 00:02:52,330 --> 00:02:52,890 Speaker 3: Oh Okay. 46 00:02:52,890 --> 00:02:53,690 Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you. 47 00:02:53,770 --> 00:02:56,090 Speaker 3: Is that what you think? Nothing to confess? 48 00:02:56,130 --> 00:02:56,450 Speaker 1: Nothing. 49 00:02:56,770 --> 00:03:01,250 Speaker 3: Well, it just so happens that my Instagram addiction and 50 00:03:01,330 --> 00:03:05,490 Speaker 3: stalking has come into play because I believe that you 51 00:03:05,530 --> 00:03:07,370 Speaker 3: took your three year old to a movie. 52 00:03:07,610 --> 00:03:10,090 Speaker 1: I did a G rated movie. 53 00:03:10,290 --> 00:03:14,170 Speaker 3: Yes, but what is the minimum age for popcorn?

So 57 00:03:25,090 --> 00:03:29,810 Speaker 3: you risked your child's life in a movie. I completely 58 00:03:29,850 --> 00:03:32,650 Speaker 3: forgotten about this very moment, and then I put it 59 00:03:32,690 --> 00:03:35,690 Speaker 3: on a public forum, so it days. I looked it 60 00:03:35,770 --> 00:03:37,890 Speaker 3: up just because I wanted to make sure I knew 61 00:03:37,890 --> 00:03:41,290 Speaker 3: what I was talking about. But popcorn is considered a 62 00:03:41,410 --> 00:03:44,650 Speaker 3: choking hazard for children under four years old by the 63 00:03:44,690 --> 00:03:47,970 Speaker 3: American Academy of Pediatrics. 64 00:03:50,290 --> 00:03:53,410 Speaker 1: I did spiral slightly.

On the first day, they 81 00:04:44,530 --> 00:04:46,610 Speaker 3: have you know, like PSA's popping up on the screens 82 00:04:46,650 --> 00:04:49,730 Speaker 3: and they were like minors must be in bed or 83 00:04:50,050 --> 00:04:52,330 Speaker 3: away from public areas by one am, and I was like, 84 00:04:52,370 --> 00:04:53,690 Speaker 3: oh wow, Like. 85 00:04:53,810 --> 00:04:56,450 Speaker 1: Who's letting them stay up for that?

No, because 98 00:05:32,810 --> 00:05:34,690 Speaker 3: there were a lot of kids out. I just feel 99 00:05:34,730 --> 00:05:37,770 Speaker 3: like the regular rules of society do not apply at sea. 100 00:05:37,970 --> 00:05:38,370 Speaker 1: They don't. 101 00:05:38,490 --> 00:05:40,330 Speaker 3: I think it's a good parenting movie because of the 102 00:05:40,330 --> 00:05:42,890 Speaker 3: core memory exactly it's bonding and time. 103 00:05:43,210 --> 00:05:45,010 Speaker 1: What is time?

I didn't explain the rest of the popcorn story. 110 00:06:04,650 --> 00:06:08,610 Speaker 1: I have never given her popcorn. Before she saw the popcorn, it. 111 00:06:08,570 --> 00:06:11,810 Speaker 3: Was free that I didn't even know this rule existed. 112 00:06:11,850 --> 00:06:12,410 Speaker 3: You're fine. 113 00:06:12,530 --> 00:06:17,090 Speaker 1: I whispered the entire movie too, Kelly, so as not 114 00:06:17,130 --> 00:06:20,010 Speaker 1: to disturb anyone while she was eating it.

My kids don't 144 00:07:46,530 --> 00:07:49,450 Speaker 3: know they never got the gift, and I always send 145 00:07:49,490 --> 00:07:52,570 Speaker 3: thank you cards to the giver. That's thoughtful, good etiquette. 146 00:07:52,970 --> 00:07:55,770 Speaker 3: The gifts that don't pass my mess level are either 147 00:07:56,010 --> 00:08:01,490 Speaker 3: regifted for someone else's birthday or I donate them. I 148 00:08:01,530 --> 00:08:03,810 Speaker 3: do not have time in my life to clean up 149 00:08:03,850 --> 00:08:06,850 Speaker 3: one thousand beads. In fact, I am mad that they 150 00:08:06,970 --> 00:08:08,770 Speaker 3: even sell them. 151 00:08:09,770 --> 00:08:13,330 Speaker 1: Okay, my first question, you don't have time for the 152 00:08:13,370 --> 00:08:16,890 Speaker 1: thousand beads, which I am very alied to. No one 153 00:08:16,970 --> 00:08:21,210 Speaker 1: has time for anything with beads, anything with glitter, anything 154 00:08:21,250 --> 00:08:22,810 Speaker 1: with little parts that you could step on in the 155 00:08:22,850 --> 00:08:23,490 Speaker 1: middle of the night. 156 00:08:23,650 --> 00:08:27,610 Speaker 3: BlimE is banned from my house. BlimE, yes, stains carpets. 157 00:08:27,210 --> 00:08:29,770 Speaker 1: And even stickers I'm not that great on they stick. 158 00:08:29,970 --> 00:08:32,010 Speaker 1: My daughter sticks them to blankets and then you can't 159 00:08:32,010 --> 00:08:34,690 Speaker 1: get them off. But you've got the time to go 160 00:08:34,770 --> 00:08:37,130 Speaker 1: through all the presents, which I assume some of them 161 00:08:37,130 --> 00:08:39,730 Speaker 1: are wrapped. So what are we doing there to suss 162 00:08:39,770 --> 00:08:43,370 Speaker 1: out what the present is. Are you memory raprapre just 163 00:08:43,450 --> 00:08:45,570 Speaker 1: doing a very dodgy resealed job. 164 00:08:45,650 --> 00:08:49,170 Speaker 3: So it's not only is she unwrapping and then potentially rewrapping, 165 00:08:49,570 --> 00:08:52,570 Speaker 3: she needs to have an Excel spreadsheet to monitor and 166 00:08:52,730 --> 00:08:56,770 Speaker 3: track who gave what gift so she doesn't regift back to. 167 00:08:56,770 --> 00:09:00,890 Speaker 1: The imagine exactly. Although you've got the perfect cover in 168 00:09:00,930 --> 00:09:03,370 Speaker 1: that situation, because you can go, well, you thought my 169 00:09:03,530 --> 00:09:04,770 Speaker 1: child would like it so much. 170 00:09:04,810 --> 00:09:06,650 Speaker 3: I got it. It was such a good idea. 171 00:09:07,050 --> 00:09:09,650 Speaker 1: Such my child loved it so much. 172 00:09:10,170 --> 00:09:12,090 Speaker 3: And then also you can only do this for a 173 00:09:12,130 --> 00:09:14,730 Speaker 3: certain amount of time as well, like you've got an 174 00:09:14,770 --> 00:09:17,770 Speaker 3: age kind of yeah limit because also they must be 175 00:09:17,970 --> 00:09:20,010 Speaker 3: very small. But no, then why would they have bracelets 176 00:09:20,010 --> 00:09:21,890 Speaker 3: one thousand bs? It's because and what's at a tree 177 00:09:22,050 --> 00:09:24,770 Speaker 3: arge system? Like how are you getting the presence away 178 00:09:25,010 --> 00:09:26,570 Speaker 3: hands to the child? And you go, oh no, no, 179 00:09:26,610 --> 00:09:29,930 Speaker 3: we're just gonna pop this in hair for the sorting pile, yeap, 180 00:09:30,770 --> 00:09:34,970 Speaker 3: which is, as we know, a culing system with an 181 00:09:35,010 --> 00:09:38,970 Speaker 3: Excel spreadsheet, re wrapping, unwrapping thank you. 182 00:09:39,010 --> 00:09:42,530 Speaker 1: Cards as well, you're doing a lot, you're doing a lot, 183 00:09:42,650 --> 00:09:46,290 Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, but she really is saving herself. In 184 00:09:46,330 --> 00:09:50,210 Speaker 1: the meantime, she doesn't have slime, she doesn't have beads 185 00:09:50,490 --> 00:09:52,850 Speaker 1: or glitter. I do because I'm too lazy to do 186 00:09:52,930 --> 00:09:53,450 Speaker 1: this system. 187 00:09:54,010 --> 00:09:56,010 Speaker 3: I'm in two minds because I think this is very 188 00:09:56,010 --> 00:10:00,530 Speaker 3: good for Cosey lives in terms of the regifting genius. 189 00:10:00,650 --> 00:10:03,370 Speaker 1: She's taking a little cut of the child's presence, of 190 00:10:03,410 --> 00:10:05,130 Speaker 1: which I'm sure they got lots anyway. 191 00:10:05,210 --> 00:10:07,370 Speaker 3: And that's the thing. Children are too spoilt these day. 192 00:10:07,450 --> 00:10:10,010 Speaker 3: Yes they don't need all the things. But you know 193 00:10:10,130 --> 00:10:15,690 Speaker 3: where it comes in for me, the inauthenticity, the line 194 00:10:15,770 --> 00:10:16,530 Speaker 3: to the children. 195 00:10:17,330 --> 00:10:20,210 Speaker 1: You know what, Now you've said this, I'm going to 196 00:10:20,290 --> 00:10:22,970 Speaker 1: gift all kids glitter and see if you like it. 197 00:10:23,090 --> 00:10:26,410 Speaker 3: I'm fine with glitter is just slime, hardline slime. Everything 198 00:10:26,410 --> 00:10:28,450 Speaker 3: else is I'm going to give them a bulk pack 199 00:10:28,490 --> 00:10:30,250 Speaker 3: of slime, and I'm going to hand it to them 200 00:10:30,250 --> 00:10:33,930 Speaker 3: in a gift bag so they can see immediately what's inside, 201 00:10:34,690 --> 00:10:39,450 Speaker 3: so you can't take it away. Mom does Okay, we 202 00:10:39,530 --> 00:10:42,010 Speaker 3: do Father Christmas, we do lighter kids. So I've just 203 00:10:42,050 --> 00:10:44,690 Speaker 3: got to put that because that's my little bugbear. That's 204 00:10:44,770 --> 00:10:45,730 Speaker 3: my issue, not this. 205 00:10:45,890 --> 00:10:48,370 Speaker 1: Please. We lie to them all the time. 206 00:10:48,450 --> 00:10:51,290 Speaker 3: That's my issue. Okay, so that to the side. It's 207 00:10:51,410 --> 00:10:55,810 Speaker 3: definitely saving a lot of headaches, but you are creating 208 00:10:55,850 --> 00:10:59,170 Speaker 3: a lot more admin And yet the Excel spreadsheet, the tracking, 209 00:10:59,210 --> 00:11:01,410 Speaker 3: the thank you notes, the unwrapping and the rewrapping of 210 00:11:01,450 --> 00:11:04,610 Speaker 3: the present. Yes, yep, you go first, because I just can't. 211 00:11:04,690 --> 00:11:05,730 Speaker 3: I can't decide. 212 00:11:05,890 --> 00:11:08,370 Speaker 1: I love a bit of organization, and I love that 213 00:11:08,450 --> 00:11:11,970 Speaker 1: this is short term pain, long term gain. She's not 214 00:11:12,130 --> 00:11:15,690 Speaker 1: dealing with these things for the months afterwards. She is 215 00:11:15,730 --> 00:11:18,290 Speaker 1: having to do a lot at the time of the 216 00:11:18,290 --> 00:11:19,610 Speaker 1: birthday or Christmas. 217 00:11:19,650 --> 00:11:20,330 Speaker 3: She really is. 218 00:11:20,970 --> 00:11:23,770 Speaker 1: But I like that she's gone, Nope, life's too short. 219 00:11:23,850 --> 00:11:25,570 Speaker 1: I'm not dealing with those things in my house. I 220 00:11:25,570 --> 00:11:27,530 Speaker 1: don't want them here. So this is how I'm doing it. 221 00:11:27,570 --> 00:11:29,610 Speaker 1: So I like that. And a little bit of the 222 00:11:29,690 --> 00:11:31,770 Speaker 1: lying to well, she's not lying to the kids. She's 223 00:11:31,810 --> 00:11:34,850 Speaker 1: just not letting them see things that they didn't know. 224 00:11:35,010 --> 00:11:37,650 Speaker 3: She was running a regifting side. 225 00:11:37,530 --> 00:11:40,850 Speaker 1: Hustle, so it's a victimless crime. So I kind of 226 00:11:40,930 --> 00:11:44,010 Speaker 1: like it. So I'm giving her eight and a half 227 00:11:44,450 --> 00:11:46,970 Speaker 1: backs of slime out of ten, and I'm going to 228 00:11:47,050 --> 00:11:48,650 Speaker 1: give you the same at Christmas. 229 00:11:48,690 --> 00:11:50,610 Speaker 3: All right, Look, I think I'm going to give her 230 00:11:51,170 --> 00:11:55,770 Speaker 3: nine beads out of ten, which went quite high. One 231 00:11:55,810 --> 00:11:58,170 Speaker 3: I came around, thank you, thanks for getting me off 232 00:11:58,170 --> 00:11:59,170 Speaker 3: the fence. I love it. 233 00:12:07,210 --> 00:12:11,730 Speaker 1: And our second confession is called cupcake fraud. Something I 234 00:12:11,770 --> 00:12:13,210 Speaker 1: feel like you know a little bit about. 235 00:12:13,290 --> 00:12:16,050 Speaker 3: Well, I don't know, because I never pretend to bake, 236 00:12:16,650 --> 00:12:22,410 Speaker 3: but I'm really intrigued to see the four senticity. 237 00:12:24,930 --> 00:12:29,650 Speaker 1: Here we go. A few years ago, we had to 238 00:12:29,650 --> 00:12:32,970 Speaker 1: make homemade items for a bake sale at school. It 239 00:12:33,050 --> 00:12:39,090 Speaker 1: was specifically specified that it must be homemade, which I found, 240 00:12:39,170 --> 00:12:41,210 Speaker 1: as you ladies like to say in. 241 00:12:41,010 --> 00:12:43,650 Speaker 3: Insufferable blind approach, that. 242 00:12:43,690 --> 00:12:46,290 Speaker 1: Is the most insufferable thing I've ever heard. So I 243 00:12:46,370 --> 00:12:49,290 Speaker 1: obviously didn't bake, and I bought a bunch of cupcakes 244 00:12:49,290 --> 00:12:53,090 Speaker 1: from the very pricey bakery in my suburb. Everyone loved 245 00:12:53,130 --> 00:12:56,370 Speaker 1: them so much and wanted the recipe, so I had 246 00:12:56,370 --> 00:13:00,250 Speaker 1: to play the whole I'll never tell, oh my god, 247 00:13:00,730 --> 00:13:03,210 Speaker 1: but they have been my go to for all events, 248 00:13:03,570 --> 00:13:07,890 Speaker 1: and then just last week the bakery announced they are closing. 249 00:13:09,010 --> 00:13:12,770 Speaker 1: Rather than come clean or learn how to bake, I've 250 00:13:12,770 --> 00:13:15,850 Speaker 1: been in every day for a week to balk by 251 00:13:16,170 --> 00:13:19,930 Speaker 1: and freeze the cupcake far so I have them till 252 00:13:19,970 --> 00:13:22,970 Speaker 1: at least my child finishes primary school next year. 253 00:13:23,330 --> 00:13:26,330 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I was gonna say, wow, yeah, like seven years. 254 00:13:26,650 --> 00:13:28,890 Speaker 3: They must have a few deep freezes. 255 00:13:29,570 --> 00:13:32,690 Speaker 1: I was just imagining the energy bill of the multiple 256 00:13:32,730 --> 00:13:35,450 Speaker 1: deep freezes you have in your garage. 257 00:13:35,130 --> 00:13:37,650 Speaker 3: To fill up the cupcakes. Just to save face. 258 00:13:38,850 --> 00:13:42,290 Speaker 1: Okay, first point, let's go back to them making you 259 00:13:42,410 --> 00:13:43,770 Speaker 1: make homemade goods. 260 00:13:44,130 --> 00:13:49,850 Speaker 3: Not aligned not a pro. First of all, I can't bake. 261 00:13:49,970 --> 00:13:52,730 Speaker 3: It's like, okay, there's a time issue, like time for 262 00:13:53,330 --> 00:13:56,090 Speaker 3: I'm just really bad at it. They either turn out 263 00:13:56,250 --> 00:14:00,410 Speaker 3: into rocks or very flat pancakes. To be a cake, 264 00:14:00,650 --> 00:14:02,930 Speaker 3: I don't know how to get the density or the 265 00:14:03,050 --> 00:14:06,810 Speaker 3: rising or unrising right. They taste bad. I even stuff 266 00:14:06,890 --> 00:14:07,890 Speaker 3: up packet cakes. 267 00:14:08,010 --> 00:14:09,850 Speaker 1: I was about to say, I'm the same even when 268 00:14:09,890 --> 00:14:12,050 Speaker 1: I do them from the packet. How can I make 269 00:14:12,210 --> 00:14:14,330 Speaker 1: this wrong? I'm only just adding eggs. 270 00:14:14,570 --> 00:14:18,410 Speaker 3: I don't understand. Or pancakes. You decide, choose your own adventure. Yeah, 271 00:14:18,530 --> 00:14:21,210 Speaker 3: it's not fun for you. You're not getting to eat. I 272 00:14:21,330 --> 00:14:24,850 Speaker 3: wonder why they specified that you must make them. It's 273 00:14:24,970 --> 00:14:27,890 Speaker 3: like why, Like maybe they're one of those schools where 274 00:14:27,890 --> 00:14:32,370 Speaker 3: it's gluten friend. No, because she would have included that. Yeah. True, 275 00:14:32,450 --> 00:14:34,770 Speaker 3: and if it's just like you know, packet cake, they 276 00:14:34,770 --> 00:14:37,250 Speaker 3: have that on the side. Yeah, but I love. 277 00:14:37,410 --> 00:14:40,250 Speaker 1: That you disobeyed the rules. It's my favorite thing that 278 00:14:40,290 --> 00:14:42,730 Speaker 1: you've done that, mostly because I'm a goodie two shoes, 279 00:14:42,730 --> 00:14:45,650 Speaker 1: and even though I'm a terrible, terrible cook, I would 280 00:14:45,650 --> 00:14:47,890 Speaker 1: have still made them myself and had to deal with 281 00:14:47,930 --> 00:14:50,210 Speaker 1: that embarrassment. You've just cut that out and gone Nope, 282 00:14:50,610 --> 00:14:53,290 Speaker 1: not sticking with that. Yeah, I'll just go and buy some. 283 00:14:53,450 --> 00:14:55,450 Speaker 3: Do you know what. I would have almost cooked them 284 00:14:55,570 --> 00:14:58,930 Speaker 3: and just shown just how bad they can be as 285 00:14:59,010 --> 00:15:01,770 Speaker 3: like a teachable moment. Yeah, this is why you shouldn't special. 286 00:15:02,130 --> 00:15:03,570 Speaker 3: Why should have made me do this? 287 00:15:03,570 --> 00:15:06,010 Speaker 1: This is your own fault that you're now feeding these 288 00:15:06,010 --> 00:15:06,770 Speaker 1: to the children. 289 00:15:06,890 --> 00:15:09,090 Speaker 3: We all have skills in life, yep. And if you 290 00:15:09,170 --> 00:15:10,930 Speaker 3: make us do a skill that we're not good at, 291 00:15:11,010 --> 00:15:13,290 Speaker 3: this is the outcome, and this is resilience training for 292 00:15:13,330 --> 00:15:14,130 Speaker 3: you and your rules. 293 00:15:14,210 --> 00:15:15,130 Speaker 1: This is what you get. 294 00:15:15,410 --> 00:15:19,370 Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, so don't get upset. Yeah, just change the 295 00:15:19,450 --> 00:15:20,450 Speaker 3: rules and let us Why. 296 00:15:21,010 --> 00:15:23,970 Speaker 1: But I love that she then she still went with it. 297 00:15:24,250 --> 00:15:27,290 Speaker 1: Like they've said, everyone loved them. Everyone asked her for 298 00:15:27,330 --> 00:15:29,650 Speaker 1: the recipe. I'll ever tell and she's gone. No, I'm 299 00:15:29,690 --> 00:15:33,290 Speaker 1: doubling down here. I'm not admitting it, because that's the 300 00:15:33,330 --> 00:15:36,690 Speaker 1: difference between you and this lovely person. You proudly come 301 00:15:36,690 --> 00:15:39,250 Speaker 1: in a quick stop across the road at the shops. 302 00:15:39,290 --> 00:15:42,530 Speaker 1: I'm still in the plastic and say, bake sale tomorrow 303 00:15:42,610 --> 00:15:46,730 Speaker 1: is sorted for your kids. So I love that she's 304 00:15:46,810 --> 00:15:50,930 Speaker 1: just gone with this, and then tripling down the bakery 305 00:15:51,010 --> 00:15:55,090 Speaker 1: is closing. You've got it sorted. You've got an alibi 306 00:15:55,250 --> 00:15:58,330 Speaker 1: for the next year. Now this is actually further proof 307 00:15:58,370 --> 00:16:01,090 Speaker 1: of her lie because if anyone suspected they were from 308 00:16:01,130 --> 00:16:04,770 Speaker 1: the bakery, the bakery is now gone and the cupcakes remain. 309 00:16:05,210 --> 00:16:08,770 Speaker 3: Now, I'm not a baker, but when one do you 310 00:16:08,890 --> 00:16:12,770 Speaker 3: frost's I sing? Doesn't that go yuck? Isn't it like 311 00:16:13,050 --> 00:16:16,450 Speaker 3: you know, I'm really stretching. Isn't it like butter and 312 00:16:16,530 --> 00:16:22,410 Speaker 3: sugar and I sink sugar. Then if you freeze butter 313 00:16:23,010 --> 00:16:25,410 Speaker 3: and then at defrost, doesn't it go a bit? 314 00:16:25,930 --> 00:16:28,410 Speaker 1: Haven't you seen these experiments people do where they'll put 315 00:16:28,450 --> 00:16:31,090 Speaker 1: like a fast food burger in a cupboard for a 316 00:16:31,170 --> 00:16:32,970 Speaker 1: year and they come back and it still looks fine, 317 00:16:33,010 --> 00:16:36,170 Speaker 1: Like when sugar's in the equation I think they're indestructible. 318 00:16:36,210 --> 00:16:38,210 Speaker 1: I think you could eat these in ten years. Wow, 319 00:16:38,250 --> 00:16:40,890 Speaker 1: it's probably not actually safe, but I think that you could. 320 00:16:41,290 --> 00:16:43,810 Speaker 1: And I think, look, if they're that good, even if 321 00:16:43,850 --> 00:16:45,890 Speaker 1: they're like a seven out of ten compared to normal, 322 00:16:45,930 --> 00:16:47,930 Speaker 1: they're still going to be pretty and. 323 00:16:47,890 --> 00:16:49,370 Speaker 3: Better than what we could achieve. 324 00:16:49,450 --> 00:16:51,850 Speaker 1: Pretty impressive. Yeah, better than anything we could do, and 325 00:16:51,850 --> 00:16:53,090 Speaker 1: better than anything she could. 326 00:16:52,890 --> 00:16:56,610 Speaker 3: Do under duress. Yeah, that we must provide a home 327 00:16:56,930 --> 00:16:57,810 Speaker 3: baked solution. 328 00:16:58,050 --> 00:17:01,130 Speaker 1: I love it. And she's actually just now meal prep too. 329 00:17:01,930 --> 00:17:05,050 Speaker 1: She's just covered herself for the whole year. She doesn't 330 00:17:05,050 --> 00:17:06,570 Speaker 1: have to think about this at alls. 331 00:17:06,650 --> 00:17:11,610 Speaker 3: Taken mental load away for cupcakes sales. There's nothing, there's 332 00:17:11,650 --> 00:17:14,850 Speaker 3: nothing to confess here. You're just a bloody genius. Yes, 333 00:17:15,210 --> 00:17:19,290 Speaker 3: I'm giving ten fraudulent defrosted cupcakes out of ten. 334 00:17:19,370 --> 00:17:21,450 Speaker 1: I'm giving you ten deep for out of ten because 335 00:17:21,450 --> 00:17:24,250 Speaker 1: that's probably how many you're going to need to keep 336 00:17:24,290 --> 00:17:27,690 Speaker 1: all of these cupcakes until next year.
