WEBVTT - Three Doting Dads feat. Nick Cody

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Today, Matt, we have a very special guest for Three

0:00:03.120 --> 0:00:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Doting Dads.

0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:05.840
<v Speaker 2>It is Nick Cody.

0:00:05.920 --> 0:00:10.280
<v Speaker 1>He is a comedian recognized internationally. He's appeared on the

0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:11.479
<v Speaker 1>Conan O'Brien show.

0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:14.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he was. I think it was the fourth ever

0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:18.080
<v Speaker 3>Australian to appear on the show, which is a huge feeder.

0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:21.400
<v Speaker 3>Was a few years ago. And I fucking love Conan O'Brien.

0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:22.960
<v Speaker 2>I like his hair moves when he talks.

0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:29.720
<v Speaker 3>He is absolutely hilarious and he's a great bloke as well.

0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:32.400
<v Speaker 3>If you're not familiar with his stuff, I highly recommend

0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:35.440
<v Speaker 3>you check out his YouTube special. It's called Live at

0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:37.480
<v Speaker 3>the Corner Hotel. Will put the link in the show

0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:39.479
<v Speaker 3>notes as well and also put that up on Stories

0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:41.320
<v Speaker 3>and Two Doting Dads Very funny.

0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:43.640
<v Speaker 1>Yes, he's also one of the hosts of the Morning

0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Breakfast Show with Fifi, Fev and Nick.

0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:49.240
<v Speaker 3>And now he is a dad. If he wasn't, it

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:50.200
<v Speaker 3>would be awkward.

0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 2>It would be weird. We just said three doting dads.

0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:55.520
<v Speaker 3>Married to his beautiful wife Lucia, he has two boys,

0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 3>they are five and two. And I just want to say,

0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:00.560
<v Speaker 3>I know we mentioned it before. He's a comedian, but

0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:02.360
<v Speaker 3>he is bloody.

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Hilarious and he's lovely, lovely to have here, and we

0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 1>had a great old chat.

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 4>So enjoy.

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:23.919
<v Speaker 3>Welcome back to three doting dads.

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 2>I am Maddie, Jay, I'm Ash and I'm Nick Curti.

0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:29.400
<v Speaker 3>This is a podcast that's all about parenting.

0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:31.920
<v Speaker 2>It's the good, the bad, and the relatable.

0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 3>Now, for legal reasons, we do have to say that

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:37.080
<v Speaker 3>there is never any advice given on this podcast. However,

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:39.600
<v Speaker 3>this episode will be a little bit different because we

0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:43.000
<v Speaker 3>have the pleasure of being joined by another dad who

0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 3>I would say, is it better dad than us?

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 1>They're all better than us, man, It's not hard. It's

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:50.880
<v Speaker 1>subjective though, isn't it.

0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, being a good dad.

0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 3>It's a pleasure to have you here.

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for having me.

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 3>Before I ask about your parenting, I do want to

0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:03.560
<v Speaker 3>ask you something else on dad related. What's Conan O'Brien like?

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:08.080
<v Speaker 2>Super friendly and a lot warmer than he had to be? Wow? Yeah,

0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 2>that's good.

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 3>How did that come about? So anyone who doesn't know

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 3>you were the fourth ever Puzzy to be on his show?

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:15.960
<v Speaker 3>How did that come about?

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 2>I did the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in twenty fifteen twenty

<v Speaker 2>I love watching back. I should have done. There were

0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 2>like five other bits I should have done. My spot

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 2>was all right, could have been better, you.

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 3>Know, the hometown, the small town yeah, good gear.

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:47.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I was still cop shit about that from

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:50.480
<v Speaker 2>people from small towns. But it's I actually love small town.

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.880
<v Speaker 2>It's like you make fun of the thing you love,

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.079
<v Speaker 2>You make one of the things like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 2>liked small kids.

0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:01.359
<v Speaker 3>Anyone who's not familiar. Yeah, there's the reason why they're

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 3>small town.

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:03.919
<v Speaker 2>Ye. If small towns were good, they would have gotten bigger.

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 2>That's really you know, yeah, exactly right.

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Small town shut up, relaxed, soaked, and so we made

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 1>fun of rural doctors ones.

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:17.760

<v Speaker 2>I told them they're just like vets.

0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 1>You got to see you got to see a goat

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:32.840

<v Speaker 2>over sort of three years leading up to that, and

0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.680
<v Speaker 2>I thought, there's one bloke I'm going to invite because

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:11.839
<v Speaker 2>I see him every time I go, and each time

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.600

0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:19.080
<v Speaker 2>a bartender from a dive bar around Yeah, and so

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:25.040

0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.000

0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:34.640

<v Speaker 2>Richter Scar run. He was on I Love American Football

0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:02.400
<v Speaker 2>and played American football and Melbourne growing up. And I

0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:04.240
<v Speaker 2>was chatting to him for a bit and then Conan

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:06.480
<v Speaker 2>came out and like, I just remember shirt, his shirt

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 2>was on, no tie, slacks and he was in socks.

0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:12.440
<v Speaker 2>He wasn't in shoes yet. He's like Marshall and Marshallan

0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:14.480
<v Speaker 2>turns around and he like pretends to throw a kick

0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 2>at him, and then Marshall AND's like fake fight, and

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm just sitting there like what the.

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:23.039
<v Speaker 3>Do I John?

0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:29.719
<v Speaker 2>But it was just one of those it's just sitting anything. Yeah,

0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:34.080
<v Speaker 2>just surreal, like what a weird.

0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Like the sequence of events, like just to be on

0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Conan and then you're with like yeah, Marshall.

0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.479
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I feel like all the late night show hosts

0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 3>all get a bad rap at the moment. Everyone's kind

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:45.560
<v Speaker 3>of everyone saying they're actually.

0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:46.440
<v Speaker 2>They're all credators.

0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 3>Apparently the only one who everyone kind of says is.

0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:51.560
<v Speaker 4>For now.

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:58.599
<v Speaker 1>I've got another sad story.

0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:03.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, bring him back down. And then Marshall when he

0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 2>had like two security guards with him, just like he's

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:09.760
<v Speaker 2>already a big unit. These guys were like six foot

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:14.040
<v Speaker 2>just huge launch, just showing nothing, and there was like

0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:17.320
<v Speaker 2>a big catering table and the guys are walking around

0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:19.120
<v Speaker 2>having a look at the catering table. And then this

0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:22.120
<v Speaker 2>giant who's just given no one anything for half an

0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:25.360
<v Speaker 2>hour turns around and goes this motherfucker's got a cupcake mountain,

0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:32.680
<v Speaker 2>and was like pumped up real life, it's just what

0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:33.720
<v Speaker 2>is happening around the back.

0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:38.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we had a chat yesterday and before this record, obviously,

0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:41.360
<v Speaker 3>and one of the biggest surprises I think about you

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 3>is maybe because you're like a quintessential Aussie bloke, you

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:48.200
<v Speaker 3>don't seem like someone who would have had a career

0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:49.160
<v Speaker 3>as a nanny.

0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, we were shocked. I was not expecting your

0:07:54.240 --> 0:08:00.400
<v Speaker 2>career is a stretcher. Was three four months in would

0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:00.880
<v Speaker 2>have been.

0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:02.840
<v Speaker 1>You would have made a past probation period.

0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:06.560
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, career. I was eighteen and I got a

0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:09.120
<v Speaker 2>job with a family who the husband and wife for

0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:12.480
<v Speaker 2>actors for the Australian Shakespeare Company and they were going

0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:14.920
<v Speaker 2>on tour and they had two boys who were ten

0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:17.960
<v Speaker 2>and two at the time, and you were eighteen, right, Yeah,

0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.400
<v Speaker 2>my girlfriend at the time, her friends are family friends

0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.120
<v Speaker 2>or something, and they said Hey, Nick's having a gap

0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:27.800
<v Speaker 2>year after high school. Would he be interested in coming

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:31.040
<v Speaker 2>on tour around Australia with the Australian Shakespeare Company and

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 2>looking after the boys.

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.480
<v Speaker 3>Working anywhere at that time? Or we're going.

0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:37.520
<v Speaker 2>To look at yeah. Just my mum was a receptionist

0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:39.480
<v Speaker 2>at a law firm in Melbourne for years, so i'd

0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.880
<v Speaker 2>work in you were practicing law, Yeah, was practicing law.

0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:46.800
<v Speaker 2>I was like, yeah, I'll love for an interview because

0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:49.320
<v Speaker 2>I knew they were interviewing a few different people. But

0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:52.520
<v Speaker 2>the boys, I think they had a female nanny and

0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:54.520
<v Speaker 2>then they had their auntie or something look after him

0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:57.280
<v Speaker 2>on the last two trips. So like an eighteen year

0:08:57.280 --> 0:08:59.080
<v Speaker 2>old dude rolls in and the ten year old's like

0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:01.520
<v Speaker 2>this fucking rules.

0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:05.360
<v Speaker 1>He just walked in with your testosteronie. Yeah, that's him.

0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:08.079
<v Speaker 3>Do you remember what they asked you for the interview?

0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.760
<v Speaker 2>Well? I remember I asked a ten year old. I

0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:12.440
<v Speaker 2>was like, man, what do you what are you like?

0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.280
<v Speaker 2>And he's like PlayStation and footy and I'm like sick,

0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:21.160
<v Speaker 2>my boy, it's going to be And then the two

0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:23.920
<v Speaker 2>year old they gave me like a trial day or

0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:26.080
<v Speaker 2>he was about to turn two, maybe and they said

0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:28.480
<v Speaker 2>he goes for a nap, but one wake up between

0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:31.400
<v Speaker 2>two thirty and three, and so I'm like, yeah, no worries.

0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:34.120
<v Speaker 2>And they leave to go and do rehearsals for the day.

0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.000
<v Speaker 2>And it gets to like twelve thirty, quarter to one.

0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:39.280
<v Speaker 2>I remember the little kid. I'm like, hey, man, come on,

0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:42.160
<v Speaker 2>it's time for a nap. He's like, nah, Mick, you

0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:46.600
<v Speaker 2>always call me Mick, Mick. No, no nap, I need nap.

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:50.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, cool, brother, map had no idea.

0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Now that I've got two kids on my lying, you

0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:56.640
<v Speaker 1>look back and then you go, oh man.

0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:59.240
<v Speaker 2>Because at like six o'clock they've come home at quarter

0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.600
<v Speaker 2>past six and it's six o'clock. This kid has just

0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:06.120
<v Speaker 2>gone just exploded, And I'm like, what has happened? What

0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:09.240
<v Speaker 2>has happened? This kid was such a legend. Why is

0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:12.200
<v Speaker 2>he melting? And then his parents come in and they're like,

0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:14.080
<v Speaker 2>how was it? Okay? It was pretty good until fifteen

0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:16.080
<v Speaker 2>minutes ago. I don't know what he had a good nap.

0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:18.719
<v Speaker 2>They said that was the nap. But I'm like, dad

0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:20.319
<v Speaker 2>didn't have one. He said he didn't need one.

0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:25.760
<v Speaker 3>They're like, he definitely needs he naps aside was it

0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.720
<v Speaker 3>pretty easy overall, or was it a huge learning curve

0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:30.840
<v Speaker 3>to be thrust into the world of eighteen.

0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:33.559
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, my dad told me to take the job

0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.240
<v Speaker 2>so that it would show me how hard it is

0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:40.920
<v Speaker 2>to have kids, and so I wouldn't ear you off immediately.

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.600
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't do a big western suburbs of Melbourne thing,

0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:45.720
<v Speaker 2>and that is get a chick pregnant when you're nineteen,

0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:48.800
<v Speaker 2>and so he goes, that'll blast you through that side. Yeah,

0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:51.760
<v Speaker 2>you're not going to want to he's pretty good.

0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:53.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Did did it work?

0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:55.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, hundred percent. I didn't have a kid until I

0:10:55.559 --> 0:11:01.000
<v Speaker 2>was thirty one. Life out of you Yeah, sick like

0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:04.280
<v Speaker 2>I've got to travel see all these four parts of Australia.

0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:07.840
<v Speaker 2>It was all through the Northern Territory and play PlayStation

0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:10.120
<v Speaker 2>with the with the ten year old was like a

0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:13.840
<v Speaker 2>road trip. It was in like a tour bus. Yeah.

0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:16.760
<v Speaker 3>Do you remember with any other I don't. I don't

0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:19.480
<v Speaker 3>want to also like put you in the ship here,

0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:22.200
<v Speaker 3>but without any of the mistakes that you made aside

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:23.359
<v Speaker 3>from the naps.

0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:26.200
<v Speaker 2>I remember one day, which I know it's bad at

0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.680
<v Speaker 2>the time, but I now use it for my kids,

0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:32.080
<v Speaker 2>and that was the little one. We're at a pool

0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:35.440
<v Speaker 2>and maybe Darwin or Cans or something at the hotel.

0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.760
<v Speaker 2>And he didn't have floaties on. And it was the

0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:40.679
<v Speaker 2>kid's pool, but at the very far end of the

0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:43.800
<v Speaker 2>kids pool it gets the normal size and he was

0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:47.280
<v Speaker 2>just sitting there in the tiny bit of water. Fine,

0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:49.880
<v Speaker 2>keep an eye on him. He's fine. He gets up,

0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:53.000
<v Speaker 2>comes around and he said, jump in. I jump in

0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:56.560
<v Speaker 2>big pool. I wouldn't do it. Don't jump in the

0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:59.000
<v Speaker 2>big pool. He's like, I'm big, I'm jumping in.

0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:00.520
<v Speaker 4>And then.

0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:10.920
<v Speaker 2>Underneath the counter. Three. Yeah. Now with my two boys

0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.520
<v Speaker 2>occasionally they're like, I'm going to do this over all, right,

0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:16.280
<v Speaker 2>have a crack to see what happened. That's actually good.

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, my son is still in float He can swim,

0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:22.280
<v Speaker 1>but he's still in floats for reassuring. And like he

0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:24.320
<v Speaker 1>took him off and then he forgot that he'd taken

0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:26.200
<v Speaker 1>him off and just ran and the.

0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:30.840
<v Speaker 3>Issue with floating, and we're all.

0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:32.800
<v Speaker 2>There's a kid at bottom of the pool. But he

0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:35.040
<v Speaker 2>won't do it again. That's for sure. It is.

0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:39.480
<v Speaker 3>And then after that three month stint, you then carried on.

0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:44.480
<v Speaker 3>You've extended your career of nannying. Knowledge of parenting, you've

0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:45.520
<v Speaker 3>gone international.

0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:51.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I was something who was scouted the top nannies

0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.679
<v Speaker 2>from around the world. I was at UNI. I went

0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:59.600
<v Speaker 2>to UNI for six months, so I did this is grim.

0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:01.880
<v Speaker 2>So I was eighteen. I thought I was going to

0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:04.199
<v Speaker 2>be an athlete. I was like, didn't we have decently?

0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:09.600
<v Speaker 2>I still do, honestly. I think I'm six weeks after cancer.

0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:12.360
<v Speaker 1>That's why we all wear jerseys to the game, just

0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:15.000
<v Speaker 1>in case they're like you, yeah, you're on.

0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:21.319
<v Speaker 2>You're like, I'm ready. I was eighteen. I got drunk

0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:25.000
<v Speaker 2>one day and I watched Jerry Maguire and I was like, sick, job.

0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:28.160
<v Speaker 2>If I can't be an athlete, sick I'll be a

0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:31.960
<v Speaker 2>player agent and signed up to Bachelor of Business Sports Management,

0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:35.320
<v Speaker 2>nice and then turned up. I was like, fucking, this

0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 2>is not fun. I did not like this at all.

0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:38.880
<v Speaker 3>But nothing like the movie.

0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:42.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. One of the teachers, she was a camp counselor

0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:45.080
<v Speaker 2>at this summer camp in Oregon like ten years before

0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.120
<v Speaker 2>or something, and they were looking for a few Aussies

0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 2>to go to be camp counselors there and like just

0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:53.600
<v Speaker 2>love the States, always wanted to go, and she's would

0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:55.240
<v Speaker 2>anyone be keen? I was like, oh, I used to

0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:57.240
<v Speaker 2>be a nanny and I was working at a bar

0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.520
<v Speaker 2>at the time, and yeah, I did all the interviews

0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.600
<v Speaker 2>and everything got the all clear. It was just very clear.

0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:08.600
<v Speaker 2>You can earn eighty six cents an hour. It's something

0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:10.679
<v Speaker 2>insane when they spread it over the amount of time

0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:12.679
<v Speaker 2>you make, like twelve hundred at the time, it was

0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:15.719
<v Speaker 2>twelve hundred US eight weeks.

0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.800
<v Speaker 3>Which sounds okay when when you're at a time.

0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:22.040
<v Speaker 2>When you, yeah, a nineteen year old kid, twelve hundred

0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:25.600
<v Speaker 2>US dollars is like, well, I'm actually set for life

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:28.000
<v Speaker 2>when you convert that.

0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:30.320
<v Speaker 1>If you did it these days, it actually would be

0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:31.120
<v Speaker 1>set for live, would you?

0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 2>With the ship's bad.

0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to sound really naive here, but are the

0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:38.840
<v Speaker 3>summer camps for naughty kids in America?

0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Or is it just no? So what I've learned is

0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.560
<v Speaker 2>there seems to be two times. There's the summer camps

0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:48.080
<v Speaker 2>where it's fucking Jack Nicholson's kid is coming in on

0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:51.320
<v Speaker 2>a helicopter and if you tell a kid no, they're like,

0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:55.640
<v Speaker 2>well I'll sue you. Yeah, Jack Nicholson. Yeah. And it's like,

0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:59.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, is there're no iPhone charges in this fucking joint,

0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:03.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, just on off, sound like my kids. But

0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:04.960
<v Speaker 2>then there's the one I worked out, which is like

0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.760
<v Speaker 2>an YMCA camp, and that was more middle class, lower class.

0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Occasionally you get some naughty kids in there, but I

0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:14.280
<v Speaker 2>like it was awesome. It was the worst thing. You

0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:15.760
<v Speaker 2>get him for a week. So you get him from

0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Sunday midday until Saturday midday, so six full days. I

0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:23.520
<v Speaker 2>was in charge of a cabin, so I'd have seven

0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:25.360
<v Speaker 2>or eight kids in the cabin and each week you'd

0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:29.040
<v Speaker 2>get a different age group and parents would drop their

0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:32.600
<v Speaker 2>kids off. And yeah, so my son Steve is on

0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:36.440
<v Speaker 2>he's on like eight different ritilants for different things and wow,

0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:38.680
<v Speaker 2>yeah he's on a lot of meds AND's we don't

0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:40.600
<v Speaker 2>think it's great for him. So this week he's just

0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:44.440
<v Speaker 2>not going to have any meds. Cool experiment, not to

0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:47.760
<v Speaker 2>be a part of Yeah, yeah, oh my god, like

0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:50.080
<v Speaker 2>Steve gets night, I really want to wean him off.

0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:51.800
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, we're just going to leave you with none

0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:52.960
<v Speaker 1>of them, and we could go.

0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:55.520
<v Speaker 3>I did that actually actually happened.

0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:57.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you'd get the odd kind of prep.

0:15:57.600 --> 0:15:59.760
<v Speaker 3>Do you get as a nineteen year old.

0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:04.360
<v Speaker 2>Just face it helps to like I think that sort

0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:08.320
<v Speaker 2>of stuff helps you to be a parent one day.

0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:10.600
<v Speaker 2>Just a fucking game face.

0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, if you're freaking out. If you're freaking out, the

0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:16.720
<v Speaker 1>kids senses it. But if you're like, nothing worse. I've

0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:19.360
<v Speaker 1>like sent a dad away from a park before because

0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:22.800
<v Speaker 1>a kid fell off something and everyone went, You're like, hey, buddy,

0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:25.040
<v Speaker 1>and this dad went oh, and then the kid locked

0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:27.320
<v Speaker 1>under that, and I'm like, you got to go, man, Yeah.

0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:30.120
<v Speaker 2>Bring that fucking attitude to this. I remember bringing it's

0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:32.040
<v Speaker 2>all down somewhere. I used to work this guy.

0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:34.280
<v Speaker 1>He was on the stairs with his kids and the

0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:38.080
<v Speaker 1>kid fell down the stairs and I was like early

0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.120
<v Speaker 1>twenties at this point, so I wasn't even and I

0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:43.960
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh, he was like you get I was like, well,

0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:46.200
<v Speaker 1>he was like this is all that reaction like that

0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:47.240
<v Speaker 1>would have hurt.

0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and like the kid was like no one else

0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:52.280
<v Speaker 2>was reacting. Why don't my kids like that? Might just

0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:52.720
<v Speaker 2>kick off?

0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:58.040
<v Speaker 3>Femurs sticking through this, Yeah, yeah, walk it off. Did

0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:01.040
<v Speaker 3>they give you any advice or tips of how to

0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:03.760
<v Speaker 3>discipline when you're working with those kids?

0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:07.320
<v Speaker 2>I was like the kids I got were fairly good,

0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:10.680
<v Speaker 2>because I've been that nanny the year before just learned

0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:15.240
<v Speaker 2>a few tricks. No means no, don't talk back, you know,

0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:19.160
<v Speaker 2>And then you get I'm not above bashing a kid.

0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Where I'm from, there was a lot of that back

0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:27.760
<v Speaker 2>in Australia. But they talked, they got the crocodile. They

0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:30.199
<v Speaker 2>got me to teach kayaking and archery because I was

0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:33.720
<v Speaker 2>Australian and rugby and rugby. I'm like, guys, I'm from

0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:36.280
<v Speaker 2>fucking Melbourne. Now I have no idea about any of

0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:40.879
<v Speaker 2>those things. But yeah, the kids were generally pretty I

0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:43.280
<v Speaker 2>do remember one day an archery teaching the kids archery

0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:45.719
<v Speaker 2>and there was a kid. Two kids just wouldn't shut up.

0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:51.680
<v Speaker 2>And worse, a deer has come out of the wood

0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:54.320
<v Speaker 2>and just come into the archery range. And I'm like,

0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:57.400
<v Speaker 2>I will drop this deer. If your kids don't be got,

0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:03.960
<v Speaker 2>I will shoot a deer. My camp name was beef Jerky.

0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:06.800
<v Speaker 2>You get all that, you get special names, like a

0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:08.880
<v Speaker 2>camp name for beef jerky. So it's just like ten

0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:10.639
<v Speaker 2>eight year olds like beef jerk. You don't know.

0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:15.000
<v Speaker 1>This is how they're not knowing what's going on.

0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:18.399
<v Speaker 2>No natural predators, just having a look. And I'm like,

0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:24.560
<v Speaker 2>and then did you hear no, No, that's a everyone

0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:26.320
<v Speaker 2>get it out of there. Yeah, that's smart.

0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:28.560
<v Speaker 3>And so after that stint, is that how your parent?

0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Now you're like, I will count this.

0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:33.760
<v Speaker 3>Come out of a neighbor's house, I've got a brick

0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:38.000
<v Speaker 3>walking to the park with a bow and out? After

0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:41.439
<v Speaker 3>that stint, were you thinking this could be an actual

0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:44.000
<v Speaker 3>career for me now? Or was it the opposite and

0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:46.120
<v Speaker 3>you're going, I don't want to fucking see another kid

0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:47.359
<v Speaker 3>for a long long time.

0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:49.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well it was heaps of fun. I never thought

0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:52.960
<v Speaker 2>you'd get the odd overseas camp counselor who would return

0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:55.320
<v Speaker 2>each year, but it's like quite a It takes a

0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:58.040
<v Speaker 2>lot of work and energy just to get the visa,

0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:00.680
<v Speaker 2>and you know, the US don't make it super easy. Yeah,

0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:03.399
<v Speaker 2>at that point, I'd always wanted to try stand up,

0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:05.040
<v Speaker 2>And then talking to some of the guys that I'm

0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:07.840

<v Speaker 2>look on someone's face when it's a no go. Fuck.

0:23:53.840 --> 0:23:56.880
<v Speaker 2>What should we do? I know, let's rescue a dog.

0:23:58.080 --> 0:24:00.480
<v Speaker 2>We've rescued a dog that was a Staffy cross kelpy

0:24:00.840 --> 0:24:04.960
<v Speaker 2>named YOU'MI just a lunatic dog, sweetest part but just insane.

0:24:04.960 --> 0:24:07.800
<v Speaker 3>And then together or did you just go straight.

0:24:07.800 --> 0:24:10.800
<v Speaker 2>Picked it together? But I wanted a pure bred Staffy.

0:24:11.080 --> 0:24:16.280
<v Speaker 2>I love Staffi's actual actual Staffies, even though they're built,

0:24:16.400 --> 0:24:19.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, stock and they look scary, but they're the

0:24:19.080 --> 0:24:22.239
<v Speaker 2>softest stock. Yeah. Whereas my wife said, you're not having that.

0:24:22.280 --> 0:24:25.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't like that look of a dog. She wanted

0:24:25.320 --> 0:24:28.639
<v Speaker 2>something a bit sleeker, not that fat head. She's like

0:24:28.840 --> 0:24:30.840
<v Speaker 2>she just thinks I wanted a staffy because I look

0:24:30.920 --> 0:24:39.240
<v Speaker 2>like just around give us a pat. She said, let's

0:24:39.240 --> 0:24:41.120
<v Speaker 2>pick this one instead. It was a cross. We didn't

0:24:41.119 --> 0:24:42.960
<v Speaker 2>know what the cross was until later, but it ended

0:24:43.040 --> 0:24:46.480
<v Speaker 2>up being kelpy fucking crazy, insane. This stuff full of

0:24:46.880 --> 0:24:49.280
<v Speaker 2>the strength of a staffy, with the energy of a Kelvy.

0:24:49.359 --> 0:24:52.919
<v Speaker 2>It's just it's not necessary. Yeah, And then like a

0:24:52.960 --> 0:24:56.720
<v Speaker 2>week later or something less, even another pregnancy tastes pregnant.

0:24:57.200 --> 0:24:57.560
<v Speaker 4>Fuck.

0:24:59.000 --> 0:25:03.160
<v Speaker 2>I went from no us responsibility ultimately you've got planned

0:25:03.200 --> 0:25:06.600
<v Speaker 2>B and Plan A all in one.

0:25:07.440 --> 0:25:10.000
<v Speaker 3>Did you keep the rescue dog or what happened?

0:25:10.080 --> 0:25:13.400
<v Speaker 2>My first son was born towards the end of twenty eighteen.

0:25:13.760 --> 0:25:17.680
<v Speaker 2>And then like a month or two later, my manager

0:25:17.720 --> 0:25:20.919
<v Speaker 2>asked me about breakfast radio and like doing stand up,

0:25:20.960 --> 0:25:23.080
<v Speaker 2>you go in and just do little bits on radio

0:25:23.119 --> 0:25:26.000
<v Speaker 2>and promote shows and whatever. But this was for like

0:25:26.040 --> 0:25:28.360
<v Speaker 2>a permanent spot on a breakfast show but in Brisbane.

0:25:28.520 --> 0:25:30.879
<v Speaker 2>I was like, well, I live in Melbourne, not moving,

0:25:31.480 --> 0:25:33.679
<v Speaker 2>love Brisie, but I'm not moving, and they said just

<v Speaker 2>it went it was fun, and they offered me the

0:25:37.280 --> 0:25:38.679
<v Speaker 2>job and I was like, oh, I don't want to

0:25:38.680 --> 0:25:41.760
<v Speaker 2>be locked in. At the time, Charlie was three months

0:25:41.800 --> 0:25:44.840

<v Speaker 2>nights where he's waking up every hour on the hour,

0:25:47.960 --> 0:25:50.159
<v Speaker 2>fucking insanity. And I was like, I was used to

0:25:50.160 --> 0:25:52.159
<v Speaker 2>going to bed at one, two, three in the morning,

0:25:52.400 --> 0:25:56.080
<v Speaker 2>waking up whenever I want, do whatever I want. And

0:25:56.119 --> 0:25:58.880
<v Speaker 2>now it's like it's your real hard Yeah. Now it's like, hey,

<v Speaker 3>I would say it's one of I mean, I shouldn't

0:26:21.760 --> 0:26:22.920
<v Speaker 3>say one off, because I'm sure there's a lot of

0:26:23.000 --> 0:26:25.000
<v Speaker 3>jobs out there that are very, very tough. But it's

0:26:25.000 --> 0:26:28.120
<v Speaker 3>hard in that it's very very early and you've got

0:26:28.119 --> 0:26:30.560
<v Speaker 3>this little window where you're on you're on air, and

0:26:30.600 --> 0:26:33.520
<v Speaker 3>you've got to be high quick sharp.

0:26:34.280 --> 0:26:37.080
<v Speaker 2>I've no good right, Like, it's a lot of coffee. Yeah,

0:26:37.600 --> 0:26:39.280
<v Speaker 2>I'll be all right. Actually, you'd be no good.

0:26:42.600 --> 0:26:43.600
<v Speaker 3>That type of negativity.

0:26:44.000 --> 0:26:45.720
<v Speaker 2>How much sleep do you need tonight.

0:26:47.480 --> 0:26:50.760
<v Speaker 3>Consistently? I think my limit would be like six hours. Yeah,

0:26:50.920 --> 0:26:53.000
<v Speaker 3>that's kind of back to back. But you can do

0:26:53.119 --> 0:26:57.520
<v Speaker 3>you can do six anything lower than five as a

0:26:57.600 --> 0:26:58.919
<v Speaker 3>one off. I'm struggling.

0:26:59.440 --> 0:27:01.280
<v Speaker 2>I'll do for it hours, three hours, whatever. It's not

0:27:01.280 --> 0:27:03.879
<v Speaker 2>a competition, mate, yes it is. Everything is. Life is

0:27:03.920 --> 0:27:07.520
<v Speaker 2>a competition, Matt. I won't sleep, Yeah, I won't sleep.

0:27:07.720 --> 0:27:09.280
<v Speaker 2>That's what it takes. You go to bed at eight

0:27:09.320 --> 0:27:12.679
<v Speaker 2>pm and wake up at eleven pm. Yeah, that's what

0:27:12.720 --> 0:27:13.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean.

0:27:13.440 --> 0:27:16.040
<v Speaker 1>I'll do like eight till six, and then on the weekends,

0:27:16.040 --> 0:27:18.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm like I'm in bet at like three am, and

0:27:18.119 --> 0:27:19.600
<v Speaker 1>then I'm back up again at like six.

0:27:20.600 --> 0:27:22.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. It's rough. And you know the thing, it's like,

0:27:22.440 --> 0:27:24.880
<v Speaker 2>if you have under five hours sleep, I think it's

0:27:24.920 --> 0:27:28.320
<v Speaker 2>the equivalent of like four or five standard drinks. Yeah.

0:27:28.400 --> 0:27:30.120
<v Speaker 1>What if I've only had five hours sleep and four

0:27:30.200 --> 0:27:31.080
<v Speaker 1>or five stands drinks?

0:27:31.520 --> 0:27:32.840
<v Speaker 2>So I can't slay each other out?

0:27:32.960 --> 0:27:33.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:27:33.280 --> 0:27:36.600
<v Speaker 1>Is that that's what I other police and they're like,

0:27:37.080 --> 0:27:39.400
<v Speaker 1>you're good fighting five week Yeah?

0:27:40.000 --> 0:27:42.880
<v Speaker 3>When you got this job, did lud cheer go amazing,

0:27:42.920 --> 0:27:44.800
<v Speaker 3>this is great, you know, full time work. We've got

0:27:44.800 --> 0:27:45.480
<v Speaker 3>a family now.

0:27:45.600 --> 0:27:47.440
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to travel as much. You think it

0:27:47.480 --> 0:27:50.040
<v Speaker 2>would be that, but it's more. You've just got a

0:27:50.080 --> 0:27:54.680
<v Speaker 2>kid that doesn't sleep, so everything is just like what Brisbane. Yeah,

0:27:54.720 --> 0:27:57.160
<v Speaker 2>there's a dog gun just jumping in the backyard trying

0:27:57.160 --> 0:28:00.000
<v Speaker 2>to kick possible. It's you think about it. Yeah, yeah,

0:28:00.480 --> 0:28:04.280
<v Speaker 2>just it was too much. So generally for the Brisbane show,

0:28:04.280 --> 0:28:05.920
<v Speaker 2>I'd go up a week a month, and then three

0:28:05.920 --> 0:28:07.600
<v Speaker 2>weeks a month i'd be in Melbourne or on the

0:28:07.840 --> 0:28:10.720
<v Speaker 2>doing it from on the road or whatever. And twenty nineteen,

0:28:10.800 --> 0:28:13.840
<v Speaker 2>all the touring and everything for the year is locked

0:28:13.840 --> 0:28:16.160
<v Speaker 2>in in sort of August September, so it was before

0:28:16.200 --> 0:28:19.119
<v Speaker 2>I got the job. So all these dates, all these

0:28:19.160 --> 0:28:20.960
<v Speaker 2>things are all locked in, and I'm getting up at

0:28:20.960 --> 0:28:23.080
<v Speaker 2>three point fifty and the kid doesn't sleep and there's

0:28:23.119 --> 0:28:27.720
<v Speaker 2>a fucking mental dog. It was just the shittest to

0:28:27.960 --> 0:28:31.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, how do you can't imagine? I just blew out.

0:28:31.760 --> 0:28:36.040
<v Speaker 2>There's no sleep. Coffee, coffee, so many coffees, just in

0:28:36.080 --> 0:28:38.960
<v Speaker 2>survival mode. Yeah. And then at the end of twenty nineteen,

0:28:39.080 --> 0:28:41.240
<v Speaker 2>I thought, you know what, I've got one year left

0:28:41.280 --> 0:28:45.200
<v Speaker 2>on this contract. What I'm going to do is get COVID.

0:28:45.200 --> 0:28:48.920
<v Speaker 2>The one thing no COVID was coming. I thought, what

0:28:49.000 --> 0:28:51.520
<v Speaker 2>a great year. What I'll do I don't quit things,

0:28:51.880 --> 0:28:54.320
<v Speaker 2>so I just won't drink. I won't drink for a year,

0:28:54.440 --> 0:28:59.360
<v Speaker 2>just hard drugs. I'll see what I just math, just

0:28:59.440 --> 0:29:06.200
<v Speaker 2>injected and archery. So no booze, no booze for twenty twenty,

0:29:06.240 --> 0:29:08.680
<v Speaker 2>which is the worst year to not Yeah yeah, yeah,

0:29:08.720 --> 0:29:13.200
<v Speaker 2>yeah yeah, that was the best year for drinking, I

0:29:13.360 --> 0:29:15.760
<v Speaker 2>shouted everyone else was having at home.

0:29:17.360 --> 0:29:20.040
<v Speaker 3>Did it help though? Was it making things more manageable?

0:29:20.200 --> 0:29:22.480
<v Speaker 2>All it does? I don't know. Are you given much

0:29:22.480 --> 0:29:27.600
<v Speaker 2>more of a vibe of heaps and heaps of he said, yeah, yeah, yeah, monster.

0:29:28.160 --> 0:29:32.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Ash's nickname. I'm you're pretty responsibe, pretty responsible. I've

0:29:32.960 --> 0:29:36.080
<v Speaker 3>always have your blow out here and there couple of

0:29:36.080 --> 0:29:37.640
<v Speaker 3>beers midweek.

0:29:37.640 --> 0:29:39.000
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't have a lot of body fat, so two

0:29:39.040 --> 0:29:42.920
<v Speaker 2>or three beers and he's I never when he said

0:29:43.120 --> 0:29:45.360
<v Speaker 2>he was also thirty six, I was fuck you.

0:29:47.120 --> 0:29:52.800
<v Speaker 1>To get out of your own house. But that's how

0:29:52.840 --> 0:29:53.440
<v Speaker 1>you do it.

0:29:53.560 --> 0:29:55.560
<v Speaker 3>Had like an extended period of the booze.

0:29:55.840 --> 0:29:57.959
<v Speaker 2>Okay, like the longest I've done like three What did

0:29:57.960 --> 0:30:04.680
<v Speaker 2>I do last year? I was like four days? Not bad,

0:30:04.760 --> 0:30:09.320
<v Speaker 2>that's more than hard. Yeah, that's pretty good. I take that.

0:30:10.240 --> 0:30:12.840
<v Speaker 3>Pros and cons of being off the booze.

0:30:12.800 --> 0:30:18.120
<v Speaker 2>With kids specifically, Yeah, it's so everyone thinks it's like

0:30:18.680 --> 0:30:21.200
<v Speaker 2>you must feel amazing all the time, but it's not.

0:30:21.920 --> 0:30:25.760
<v Speaker 2>It's that you never feel shit, so you wake up

0:30:25.800 --> 0:30:30.200
<v Speaker 2>the best bit of your energy. It's boring though, Yeah,

0:30:30.280 --> 0:30:34.760
<v Speaker 2>I remember the whole year. That's probably the worst thing,

0:30:35.400 --> 0:30:37.400
<v Speaker 2>which was actually all right. You wake up in the

0:30:37.440 --> 0:30:40.880
<v Speaker 2>morning and your energy is the same as at midday,

0:30:41.600 --> 0:30:45.560
<v Speaker 2>six pm, ten pm. You're just on this. That sounds terrible. Yeah,

0:30:46.840 --> 0:30:51.240
<v Speaker 2>there's no doubt, there's no mood up. Yeah. Yeah, And

0:30:51.360 --> 0:30:54.719
<v Speaker 2>like this morning. So I'm in Sydney for two nights,

0:30:55.360 --> 0:30:57.600
<v Speaker 2>and last night I knew this morning I've got to

0:30:57.600 --> 0:30:59.880
<v Speaker 2>get up for radio. But I'm not sleeping at home

0:30:59.880 --> 0:31:02.440
<v Speaker 2>with the kids. Got a gig at the comedy store, No,

0:31:02.560 --> 0:31:05.400
<v Speaker 2>absolutely not. I was having boiler makers, beers and whiskey

0:31:05.520 --> 0:31:10.560
<v Speaker 2>beer whiskey. Yeah, get up before thirty, just chare, We'll

0:31:10.920 --> 0:31:13.480
<v Speaker 2>walk into the studio fresh. It's good, but there's no

0:31:13.600 --> 0:31:16.320
<v Speaker 2>kids punching me in the head, it's fine, but the

0:31:16.400 --> 0:31:19.040
<v Speaker 2>year off, it'small that. Your energy is just level.

0:31:19.280 --> 0:31:20.480
<v Speaker 3>How did you manage the sleep?

0:31:21.840 --> 0:31:23.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't really with.

0:31:23.560 --> 0:31:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Your first Yeah, because I was similar to and Matt's

0:31:27.240 --> 0:31:30.280
<v Speaker 1>you my second one that would that would suck.

0:31:30.600 --> 0:31:33.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because you think it's worked out. Yeah, there is

0:31:33.160 --> 0:31:36.240
<v Speaker 2>something nice about having one that doesn't sleep the first

0:31:36.280 --> 0:31:39.480
<v Speaker 2>time around. So when the second one rolls around, yeah,

0:31:39.720 --> 0:31:43.400
<v Speaker 2>all right, and then it sleeps and yeah, all right,

0:31:43.840 --> 0:31:46.440
<v Speaker 2>that makes you more annoyed to the first one. Me too.

0:31:46.520 --> 0:31:49.560
<v Speaker 1>My first he slept like forty minutes at a time

0:31:49.720 --> 0:31:52.600
<v Speaker 1>around the clock for so long, and then the second

0:31:52.680 --> 0:31:55.800
<v Speaker 1>one was a dream compared to that. She couldn't be

0:31:55.920 --> 0:31:57.880
<v Speaker 1>as bad as that, So I think that was sort

0:31:57.920 --> 0:31:59.000
<v Speaker 1>of like a bit of a say but when you

0:31:59.040 --> 0:32:00.600
<v Speaker 1>got it the other way around, you we are so

0:32:00.760 --> 0:32:03.000
<v Speaker 1>fucking good at this job parenting.

0:32:02.680 --> 0:32:04.440
<v Speaker 3>And then whole sense of confidence.

0:32:04.680 --> 0:32:05.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, shoot you down.

0:32:06.000 --> 0:32:08.080
<v Speaker 3>Did you guys try and get help with the sleep

0:32:08.160 --> 0:32:10.080
<v Speaker 3>or was it something that they just you bub grew

0:32:10.080 --> 0:32:10.400
<v Speaker 3>out of?

0:32:10.600 --> 0:32:12.840
<v Speaker 2>I still remember and my wife i't like me saying this,

0:32:12.920 --> 0:32:15.479
<v Speaker 2>but we went to like a sleep I don't know,

0:32:15.600 --> 0:32:18.440
<v Speaker 2>like a sleep class or something, but we're cooked like

0:32:18.520 --> 0:32:22.480
<v Speaker 2>we haven't slept. Yeah, and the woman running this sleep

0:32:22.520 --> 0:32:25.280
<v Speaker 2>class at some point has said something. And then there's

0:32:25.320 --> 0:32:28.280
<v Speaker 2>a break and it's you got twenty minutes, go get

0:32:28.280 --> 0:32:30.959
<v Speaker 2>a coffee or whatever. And as we're walking, my wife's like,

0:32:31.040 --> 0:32:33.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm not doing this. I don't like this lady. And

0:32:33.040 --> 0:32:34.880
<v Speaker 2>it's like, are you sure you're just not really tired,

0:32:34.920 --> 0:32:37.760
<v Speaker 2>and she said something, Yeah, the lady probably said something

0:32:37.840 --> 0:32:40.480
<v Speaker 2>very reasonable, and my wife's like, hate her, hate everything

0:32:40.520 --> 0:32:45.080
<v Speaker 2>she's about. We're out of here, she says. I get tangry,

0:32:45.400 --> 0:32:48.040
<v Speaker 2>she gets angry, she gets like hungry angry. Yeah, but

0:32:48.080 --> 0:32:50.480
<v Speaker 2>she is generally pretty good on not a lot of sleep.

0:32:50.880 --> 0:32:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Whereas I get I get tangry, I get tired, angry

0:32:53.600 --> 0:32:55.920
<v Speaker 2>and angry. Yeah. Yeah, I just know when I'm told

0:32:56.000 --> 0:32:58.400
<v Speaker 2>my wife sends me to bed now like a two

0:32:58.480 --> 0:33:01.720
<v Speaker 2>year old. This it's all gone to ship and I'm

0:33:01.800 --> 0:33:04.160
<v Speaker 2>quitting this. I've had enough for this. This is nonsense.

0:33:04.200 --> 0:33:06.720
<v Speaker 2>And she's like, you go and have a nap. Now,

0:33:07.960 --> 0:33:14.320
<v Speaker 2>I want to get your blanket. So we try to

0:33:14.360 --> 0:33:17.320
<v Speaker 2>get help for the first one. The lady said something

0:33:17.360 --> 0:33:19.280
<v Speaker 2>that my wife didn't agree with. We're out of there,

0:33:19.760 --> 0:33:24.720
<v Speaker 2>and then just just kept going until how long until?

0:33:25.240 --> 0:33:26.800
<v Speaker 2>Must have been a year in a bit. He wasn't

0:33:26.840 --> 0:33:30.040
<v Speaker 2>a great sleeper. Yeah, it feels like forever though. Yeah.

0:33:30.080 --> 0:33:32.520
<v Speaker 2>I've got a photo of him when we were he

0:33:32.600 --> 0:33:35.480
<v Speaker 2>must have been just under one, maybe just turned one,

0:33:35.480 --> 0:33:37.920
<v Speaker 2>and we're on the Gold Coast like a little family

0:33:37.960 --> 0:33:41.400
<v Speaker 2>holiday and he's had a rough night sleeping and read

0:33:41.440 --> 0:33:43.520
<v Speaker 2>a cafe. The next morning he's sort of standing up

0:33:43.560 --> 0:33:50.400
<v Speaker 2>on a chair and he looks eighty six. Yeah, he

0:33:50.560 --> 0:33:53.480
<v Speaker 2>looks like you've just shrunk an old man down the eyes.

0:33:53.520 --> 0:33:54.200
<v Speaker 2>And it was just.

0:33:54.120 --> 0:33:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Like he's just lived a really hard life.

0:33:56.920 --> 0:33:58.080
<v Speaker 2>He's seen a lot of things.

0:33:58.240 --> 0:34:02.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you must have been scared shitless then to go

0:34:02.560 --> 0:34:07.040
<v Speaker 3>number two when number one was just like crazy time

0:34:07.080 --> 0:34:08.320
<v Speaker 3>in your life with a tricky.

0:34:08.120 --> 0:34:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Thing as well. Yeah, so well the second one, I

0:34:10.719 --> 0:34:13.480
<v Speaker 2>always thought I'm not having one. I know. There was

0:34:13.480 --> 0:34:17.440
<v Speaker 2>some article on ABC the other day about serial killers. No,

0:34:17.520 --> 0:34:20.799
<v Speaker 2>it was more like, it turns out only children can

0:34:20.880 --> 0:34:23.480
<v Speaker 2>be awesome, and most of them are all just can't share.

0:34:24.080 --> 0:34:26.839
<v Speaker 2>Can't share it, cannot share any adult I know that's

0:34:26.840 --> 0:34:29.719
<v Speaker 2>a single kid. You figure it out pretty quickly, you know,

0:34:30.360 --> 0:34:33.680
<v Speaker 2>And it's actually fine, And I get if you're unable

0:34:33.719 --> 0:34:37.080
<v Speaker 2>to have a second kid, I get it, get a

0:34:37.120 --> 0:34:41.719
<v Speaker 2>rescue dog, that's the same. But the people that can't

0:34:41.760 --> 0:34:44.439
<v Speaker 2>have it, of course, that's brutal. Not talking about that,

0:34:44.760 --> 0:34:48.239
<v Speaker 2>the people that just have one, and then actually, you

0:34:48.280 --> 0:34:50.600
<v Speaker 2>know what's great about one? You can focus on them more.

0:34:51.520 --> 0:34:53.839
<v Speaker 2>That'd be good for them in the long run. Just

0:34:53.840 --> 0:34:55.040
<v Speaker 2>say you're weaker than the bill.

0:34:55.360 --> 0:34:57.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're not as strong as the rest of us.

0:34:58.160 --> 0:34:58.680
<v Speaker 2>And there we go.

0:34:59.640 --> 0:35:02.239
<v Speaker 1>When kid grows up, it's just like, it's going to

0:35:02.280 --> 0:35:03.480
<v Speaker 1>think everything's about that.

0:35:03.680 --> 0:35:06.839
<v Speaker 2>Look. I honestly, after the trauma of the first one,

0:35:06.920 --> 0:35:08.960
<v Speaker 2>I was genuinely didn't want another one.

0:35:09.040 --> 0:35:12.040
<v Speaker 3>Will just say to anyone listening who is a parent

0:35:12.080 --> 0:35:14.120
<v Speaker 3>of one child, Hey, we love you, and we.

0:35:14.440 --> 0:35:18.439
<v Speaker 2>Love you as much as we love rural doctors. There's

0:35:18.440 --> 0:35:23.520
<v Speaker 2>a rural doctor with one kid. Yeah, yeah, they're also

0:35:23.719 --> 0:35:27.760
<v Speaker 2>event It was always going to be on the cards

0:35:28.000 --> 0:35:29.879
<v Speaker 2>going in for the second one. It's like, well, I'm

0:35:29.880 --> 0:35:33.080
<v Speaker 2>already in. Yeah, well the night of I.

0:35:33.040 --> 0:35:35.759
<v Speaker 1>Don't want to know anything about it's already in.

0:35:36.880 --> 0:35:41.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh those people, I don't know how far apart you,

0:35:41.160 --> 0:35:42.560
<v Speaker 2>but kids both like a couple of years apart.

0:35:42.640 --> 0:35:45.200
<v Speaker 3>I think we're all pretty similar. We're eighteen months.

0:35:45.360 --> 0:35:48.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like two and a years apart. But those people like, yeah,

0:35:48.920 --> 0:35:50.799
<v Speaker 2>I've got a one year old and two months old.

0:35:53.120 --> 0:35:55.799
<v Speaker 2>Your mum had five under seven.

0:35:56.120 --> 0:35:57.760
<v Speaker 3>She had three under three?

0:35:58.239 --> 0:36:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Whoa on them out Irish triplets?

0:36:01.800 --> 0:36:04.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, she was. She was a maniac. I couldn't think

0:36:04.600 --> 0:36:05.640
<v Speaker 3>of anything.

0:36:05.680 --> 0:36:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god. When she told me that, I nearly

0:36:08.000 --> 0:36:10.759
<v Speaker 2>fell over. I was like, fuck. But that was from

0:36:10.800 --> 0:36:14.520
<v Speaker 2>a time where you could hit him, which does you know, Yeah,

0:36:14.600 --> 0:36:19.279
<v Speaker 2>that's cheat codes. There was no social media back then.

0:36:19.360 --> 0:36:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Maybe hitting kids or whatever. Let him do whatever.

0:36:22.360 --> 0:36:25.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm assuming though, it was a much easier run into

0:36:25.640 --> 0:36:28.720
<v Speaker 3>having two kids, given that number one was so tricky

0:36:29.160 --> 0:36:32.400
<v Speaker 3>work in life was chaotic, that number two was a

0:36:32.440 --> 0:36:33.200
<v Speaker 3>lot more pleasant.

0:36:33.280 --> 0:36:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Well it was COVID in twenty twenty. We got an

0:36:36.040 --> 0:36:39.320
<v Speaker 2>exemption in August or something to go up to Queensland

0:36:39.320 --> 0:36:41.840
<v Speaker 2>because I was on Triple M in Brisbane and just

0:36:41.960 --> 0:36:43.840

<v Speaker 2>the two year old in the almost two years old,

<v Speaker 3>Wow, this might be a dumb question, yeah, but I'll

0:38:24.800 --> 0:38:27.560
<v Speaker 3>ask it anyway. I've got two girls, so we've actually,

0:38:27.640 --> 0:38:31.240
<v Speaker 3>other than a fringe haircut, which was a home job,

0:38:31.600 --> 0:38:35.680
<v Speaker 3>we've never gotten haircuts. How's that process for two boys?

0:38:36.320 --> 0:38:39.160
<v Speaker 2>The two year old's got big curly hair, like blonde

0:38:39.200 --> 0:38:41.239
<v Speaker 2>curly hair like iust have when I was like mine

<v Speaker 2>was like white, this white curly thing. He's got very

0:38:45.440 --> 0:38:47.800
<v Speaker 2>similar head of me. And then the five year old's

<v Speaker 2>and pay hundreds of dollars to get the Yeah, all

0:38:58.160 --> 0:39:01.440
<v Speaker 2>my wife friends look at the beauty.

0:39:02.080 --> 0:39:03.800
<v Speaker 3>It's actually taking him down to the salon.

0:39:06.400 --> 0:39:08.120
<v Speaker 2>They don't have to get their hair cut that often

0:39:08.160 --> 0:39:09.040
<v Speaker 2>because I got longish.

0:39:09.239 --> 0:39:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Obviously, Mason hasn't a haircut, she's so young. But Oscar

0:39:12.719 --> 0:39:15.080
<v Speaker 1>couldn't stand it, the feel of the hair on him,

0:39:15.440 --> 0:39:18.000
<v Speaker 1>oh cutting him, so I just like has had to

0:39:18.000 --> 0:39:20.000
<v Speaker 1>pin him down and shave his head because he was just.

0:39:20.200 --> 0:39:23.200
<v Speaker 2>Did you look like owned? It was like you know sheep.

0:39:23.320 --> 0:39:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know when you used to have to give

0:39:25.200 --> 0:39:26.920
<v Speaker 1>them a COVID test and you'd.

0:39:26.800 --> 0:39:28.880
<v Speaker 2>Be like, oh yeah, it was like that.

0:39:28.960 --> 0:39:33.200
<v Speaker 1>It's like trying to like and I'm just like shaving

0:39:33.239 --> 0:39:35.400
<v Speaker 1>his head, but yeah, nightmare.

0:39:35.800 --> 0:39:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Ye mind. I sort of sell anything I know if

0:39:39.000 --> 0:39:41.200
<v Speaker 2>I know they're not going to enjoy it. So the

0:39:41.880 --> 0:39:43.440
<v Speaker 2>my eldest, when he was younger and he had to

0:39:43.440 --> 0:39:46.120
<v Speaker 2>get needles for the first time, my wife would make

0:39:46.160 --> 0:39:51.399
<v Speaker 2>me take him in. So it's like he's equating these needles. Yeah, dad,

0:39:51.400 --> 0:39:53.719
<v Speaker 2>I did it right. But when he got old enough,

0:39:53.760 --> 0:39:56.919
<v Speaker 2>I said, man, when the needle goes in, I said,

0:39:56.960 --> 0:40:03.600
<v Speaker 2>it's going to hurt unless you say, gone get. You

0:40:03.600 --> 0:40:06.800
<v Speaker 2>say that, they'll laugh, it won't hurt. He's like, all right, daddy.

0:40:07.239 --> 0:40:08.360
<v Speaker 2>He's like two in a bit and he's got the

0:40:08.400 --> 0:40:10.160
<v Speaker 2>sleeve rolled up and he's looking. I'm like, yeah, man,

0:40:10.160 --> 0:40:14.840
<v Speaker 2>you've got to do it, and shine gone get. She

0:40:15.000 --> 0:40:16.600
<v Speaker 2>loses it and I'm like, did it hurt? He's like

0:40:17.040 --> 0:40:20.200
<v Speaker 2>so now every time, but I'd forgotten. So the next

0:40:20.239 --> 0:40:22.520
<v Speaker 2>time I'm taking him along to get you, I had

0:40:22.600 --> 0:40:25.440
<v Speaker 2>just completely forgotten and sit down and the needle comes out.

0:40:25.520 --> 0:40:30.680
<v Speaker 2>He's like don't get him now, that's his megan. I

0:40:30.760 --> 0:40:32.960
<v Speaker 2>just try and give him a thing, like with a haircut.

0:40:33.040 --> 0:40:35.160
<v Speaker 2>I was like, dude, you get to go to a barber, right,

0:40:35.920 --> 0:40:38.440
<v Speaker 2>dad has to sit in the chair, I'll be honest,

0:40:38.760 --> 0:40:40.680
<v Speaker 2>like a loser. I got to sit in a chair

0:40:40.760 --> 0:40:43.120
<v Speaker 2>like a loser. When you go to the barber. Because

0:40:43.160 --> 0:40:45.680
<v Speaker 2>you're so young and your hair is so cool, they're

0:40:45.680 --> 0:40:48.520
<v Speaker 2>going to put a skateboard deck out over the chair,

0:40:49.200 --> 0:40:51.960
<v Speaker 2>so you get to like almost skateboard. We'll get your haircut,

0:40:52.040 --> 0:40:55.279
<v Speaker 2>which is I think the cool anyone's ever got to do.

0:40:55.440 --> 0:40:57.040
<v Speaker 2>So it was one of the things I learned when

0:40:57.120 --> 0:40:58.840
<v Speaker 2>nanny and it's like, if something's going to be ship,

0:40:59.080 --> 0:41:02.200
<v Speaker 2>just sell it. You've just got to sell threatening my

0:41:02.320 --> 0:41:05.080
<v Speaker 2>kids and you're just like, oh no, yeah, sell me

0:41:05.160 --> 0:41:07.560
<v Speaker 2>this pan when they don't listen to the cell this threats.

0:41:07.640 --> 0:41:09.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, I'm selling your threatening.

0:41:09.680 --> 0:41:12.120
<v Speaker 3>You would have been a great agent, a sports agent.

0:41:11.880 --> 0:41:15.440
<v Speaker 2>You would have Yeah. Yeah, it's really selling it. Those

0:41:15.520 --> 0:41:22.280
<v Speaker 2>busted acls come back stronger, broken bones, stronger bones. Yeah.

0:41:22.480 --> 0:41:25.360
<v Speaker 2>I've got to get this guy. He's thirty eight prime.

0:41:25.920 --> 0:41:27.760
<v Speaker 1>He's wearing his jersey to all the games.

0:41:28.400 --> 0:41:29.040
<v Speaker 2>One of the.

0:41:28.960 --> 0:41:32.560
<v Speaker 3>Biggest pain points I think with young kids is holidays.

0:41:33.040 --> 0:41:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Now you've done something which I think is on like borderline,

0:41:36.560 --> 0:41:41.160
<v Speaker 3>like lunacy. You've taken a weak road trip with both

0:41:41.280 --> 0:41:42.960
<v Speaker 3>your boys. What was it thinking behind?

0:41:43.080 --> 0:41:46.360
<v Speaker 2>So my wife went with her mum and sisters to

0:41:46.440 --> 0:41:48.279
<v Speaker 2>Greece in the middle of last year for a couple

0:41:48.280 --> 0:41:50.799
<v Speaker 2>of weeks. There was like a terrible thing happened in

0:41:50.800 --> 0:41:52.680
<v Speaker 2>the family, so they wanted to get away. And I

0:41:52.760 --> 0:41:55.360
<v Speaker 2>was like, you should all go and do that. That's brilliant,

0:41:55.400 --> 0:41:57.839
<v Speaker 2>go and do that. And she said, well, the two

0:41:57.880 --> 0:42:00.719
<v Speaker 2>weeks is the two weeks you're off radio, so it's

0:42:00.719 --> 0:42:03.520
<v Speaker 2>going to be your whole holidays with the one hundred percent.

0:42:03.640 --> 0:42:05.920
<v Speaker 2>That's fine, whatever, And then she asked me, what are

0:42:05.960 --> 0:42:07.879
<v Speaker 2>you going to do while I'm gone? And I said,

0:42:07.880 --> 0:42:09.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to take them on a road trip around

0:42:09.520 --> 0:42:13.560
<v Speaker 2>Victoria's screen, I reckon, yeah, she doesn't know that it

0:42:13.719 --> 0:42:19.040
<v Speaker 2>was screens I put on Lonely Planet. She comes back,

0:42:19.040 --> 0:42:25.160
<v Speaker 2>they're like twelve apostles boys, heaps of icy poles if

0:42:25.160 --> 0:42:30.440
<v Speaker 2>you remember, five places. And I said, yeah, I'm going

0:42:30.440 --> 0:42:32.839
<v Speaker 2>to take them on a road trip and she said

0:42:32.840 --> 0:42:34.279
<v Speaker 2>why would you do that? And I said, well, I

0:42:34.360 --> 0:42:36.760
<v Speaker 2>want to see if I can worst. Camp's the worst

0:42:36.880 --> 0:42:40.640
<v Speaker 2>you come home. Yeah, they don't know the itinery. I

0:42:40.640 --> 0:42:44.680
<v Speaker 2>don't know what I've got planned trips. Yeah, the driveway.

0:42:45.080 --> 0:42:48.759
<v Speaker 2>So we went to Phillip Island for two nights, then

0:42:49.280 --> 0:42:51.879
<v Speaker 2>Hillsville and we went to the zoo for a day.

0:42:51.920 --> 0:42:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Then we went to Mansfield which is at the bottom

0:42:53.840 --> 0:42:56.480
<v Speaker 2>of Mount Buller for a night, and then we went

0:42:56.560 --> 0:42:58.520
<v Speaker 2>up Mount Buller and stayed up on Mount Buller for

0:42:58.560 --> 0:43:01.399
<v Speaker 2>a night because it was snow seas and then came back.

0:43:01.600 --> 0:43:04.000
<v Speaker 2>So it was like five days or something away. I'll

0:43:04.040 --> 0:43:05.839
<v Speaker 2>be honest. One of the reasons why I did it.

0:43:06.160 --> 0:43:09.400
<v Speaker 2>I knew if I could pull it off, the like

0:43:09.640 --> 0:43:14.680
<v Speaker 2>dad credit, Oh, it's high, like in circles, I'm fucking

0:43:14.760 --> 0:43:16.120
<v Speaker 2>up her friend's husbands.

0:43:16.320 --> 0:43:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, if you know what I mean, if Matt did that,

0:43:20.040 --> 0:43:22.319
<v Speaker 1>be like, why can't you fucking do that?

0:43:22.640 --> 0:43:26.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's like to a group of mountaineers going to

0:43:26.080 --> 0:43:28.680
<v Speaker 3>summon at Everest. Yeah, what the fuck are you guys doing?

0:43:28.800 --> 0:43:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah in the Yangsoka dickheads, get up, get up, have

0:43:33.040 --> 0:43:34.799
<v Speaker 2>a go. So I knew it was going to be

0:43:34.800 --> 0:43:37.719
<v Speaker 2>fun a road trip. It's not. I don't have to

0:43:37.760 --> 0:43:39.839
<v Speaker 2>fly with them. I don't have to deal with that.

0:43:39.920 --> 0:43:42.080
<v Speaker 2>We're all in the car. We're still within a few

0:43:42.080 --> 0:43:45.960
<v Speaker 2>hours of home at any point. They're strapped in, do

0:43:46.000 --> 0:43:49.319
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of activities in the morning, drive over nap

0:43:49.360 --> 0:43:51.880
<v Speaker 2>time or whatever to get to the next place, and

0:43:51.920 --> 0:43:54.520
<v Speaker 2>then set up. And it was genuinely like one of

0:43:54.520 --> 0:43:57.520
<v Speaker 2>the funnest weeks. I still remember in philip By that

0:43:57.520 --> 0:43:59.600
<v Speaker 2>heaps of stuff was booked out because it was Holidays.

0:44:00.040 --> 0:44:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Booked this motel. So normally when we go away, we'll

0:44:03.000 --> 0:44:05.040
<v Speaker 2>stay in a like a mantra or something, you know,

0:44:05.120 --> 0:44:07.880
<v Speaker 2>like a two bedroom apartment, you know. But we hadn't

0:44:07.920 --> 0:44:10.040
<v Speaker 2>stayed in a motel before. And we walk in and

0:44:10.120 --> 0:44:12.640
<v Speaker 2>my five year old for at the time almost five,

0:44:12.719 --> 0:44:17.080
<v Speaker 2>he's like, what, Dad, have a look at this. There's

0:44:17.080 --> 0:44:21.200
<v Speaker 2>a TV on top of a fridge and the kettles

0:44:21.200 --> 0:44:25.279
<v Speaker 2>next to it. This room. This is crazy. I was like, man,

0:44:25.320 --> 0:44:27.440
<v Speaker 2>this room rules, and he's like, I can I draw it?

0:44:27.560 --> 0:44:31.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, man, sit there drawing. It's like I can

0:44:31.239 --> 0:44:33.399
<v Speaker 2>watch Bluey in bed and you can make a cup

0:44:33.400 --> 0:44:34.840
<v Speaker 2>of tea beautiful.

0:44:35.920 --> 0:44:36.200
<v Speaker 3>The house.

0:44:36.200 --> 0:44:39.040
<v Speaker 2>Can we get back, yeah, because a beer out of

0:44:39.080 --> 0:44:45.200
<v Speaker 2>the TV. He loved it. My youngest to turn two

0:44:45.560 --> 0:44:48.560
<v Speaker 2>a week or so later. He was fairly good. Occasionally

0:44:48.600 --> 0:44:51.880
<v Speaker 2>would just get at Phillip Island. There's a huge maze

0:44:52.520 --> 0:44:54.600
<v Speaker 2>and we wanted to get to all the checkpoints. But

0:44:55.120 --> 0:44:57.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, we're three of five flags in and the

0:44:57.560 --> 0:45:01.480
<v Speaker 2>eldest wants to quit. I was like, man, finish two more.

0:45:01.760 --> 0:45:04.399
<v Speaker 2>You feel like a champion. We could go home now

0:45:05.120 --> 0:45:08.040
<v Speaker 2>and you'll remember being a bit of a loser. We

0:45:08.080 --> 0:45:10.080
<v Speaker 2>gave up. Are we going to give up? I don't

0:45:10.080 --> 0:45:11.560
<v Speaker 2>want to give up. All I wanted to do was

0:45:11.640 --> 0:45:14.000
<v Speaker 2>just go get a beer. But I was like, let's

0:45:14.000 --> 0:45:16.799
<v Speaker 2>get the last two. But I had to carry the

0:45:17.080 --> 0:45:24.000
<v Speaker 2>eighteen kilo last come boys, let's go carry for a bit. Yeah,

0:45:24.120 --> 0:45:27.160
<v Speaker 2>just cooked, everything's cooked. But the tough one was the snow.

0:45:27.760 --> 0:45:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Taking two kids to the snow. I'd never been to

0:45:29.920 --> 0:45:32.040
<v Speaker 2>the snow. I'd never driven up to the snow by

0:45:32.040 --> 0:45:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Myself's a recipe for disasters. Yeah, the room was two

0:45:36.320 --> 0:45:38.920
<v Speaker 2>hundred meters from the car, but in a blizzard, going

0:45:38.960 --> 0:45:41.480
<v Speaker 2>down a hill with an eighteen kilo kid and a

0:45:41.520 --> 0:45:43.480
<v Speaker 2>thing and a suitcase and a fact.

0:45:43.440 --> 0:45:46.600
<v Speaker 3>That was the snow adds a layer of complexity. That, yeah,

0:45:46.719 --> 0:45:47.520
<v Speaker 3>it's not needed.

0:45:48.040 --> 0:45:50.600
<v Speaker 1>I literally went to the shop and it was drizzling

0:45:50.600 --> 0:45:52.560
<v Speaker 1>and got macie other car and walked from the car

0:45:52.640 --> 0:45:54.520
<v Speaker 1>park to the open and she was just.

0:45:54.440 --> 0:45:58.520
<v Speaker 2>Like, I can't imagine her in the snow. We went

0:45:58.560 --> 0:46:01.400
<v Speaker 2>to boggling, so you just sit on a tobog. The

0:46:01.440 --> 0:46:04.440
<v Speaker 2>oldest could go by himself, so he'd go down, and

0:46:04.440 --> 0:46:07.920
<v Speaker 2>then I'd go down with the youngest. And the problem is,

0:46:07.960 --> 0:46:10.279
<v Speaker 2>though you go down together, but you've got to use

0:46:10.320 --> 0:46:13.479
<v Speaker 2>your feet as breaks, and when you slam your feet

0:46:13.480 --> 0:46:15.840
<v Speaker 2>into the snow, snow kicks up, but it gets you

0:46:15.880 --> 0:46:19.400
<v Speaker 2>a chest level. But it was just fucking cover. And

0:46:19.520 --> 0:46:25.560
<v Speaker 2>he was just like throwing punches at at snow, trying it.

0:46:28.840 --> 0:46:30.799
<v Speaker 2>And then when the fiver I wanted to do one

0:46:30.840 --> 0:46:32.960
<v Speaker 2>more run on the tobomo. He'd done about ten of them.

0:46:33.080 --> 0:46:35.520
<v Speaker 2>He had a blind he was loving it. And of

0:46:35.520 --> 0:46:38.200
<v Speaker 2>course it's like one more dad, And I'd heard so

0:46:38.320 --> 0:46:40.480
<v Speaker 2>many dads tell me that if there's ever going to

0:46:40.480 --> 0:46:44.279
<v Speaker 2>be a mistake, one more fangs down this mountain. Then

0:46:44.400 --> 0:46:48.040
<v Speaker 2>just decides to go ninety degrees to the left through

0:46:48.120 --> 0:46:50.920
<v Speaker 2>this mesh sort of fence that hit him there, so

0:46:51.040 --> 0:46:54.400
<v Speaker 2>it looks like his head's come off smashed into the snow.

0:46:54.600 --> 0:47:00.879
<v Speaker 2>But I'm up top I can hear him. You go, go, bud,

0:47:01.400 --> 0:47:05.480
<v Speaker 2>you're right right mate, right, I'm like, he's not all right.

0:47:06.200 --> 0:47:08.799
<v Speaker 2>It's got my pleasure. I've got to do a head

0:47:08.840 --> 0:47:14.160
<v Speaker 2>injury assessment on him. This is in the eyes, just

0:47:14.280 --> 0:47:18.279
<v Speaker 2>lay out. I don't move elevated. But he had to

0:47:18.320 --> 0:47:21.480
<v Speaker 2>carry his toboggan back up after acting himself because I

0:47:21.520 --> 0:47:24.719
<v Speaker 2>couldn't get down with the mate. Let's to boggle down,

0:47:25.080 --> 0:47:26.960
<v Speaker 2>get Charlie. We've got to help him out. And as

0:47:27.000 --> 0:47:29.600
<v Speaker 2>soon as I'd sit the young bloke on these like no, no, no, no, no,

0:47:29.640 --> 0:47:34.719
<v Speaker 2>I know what happens. Shit, the snow was just like

0:47:34.840 --> 0:47:37.120
<v Speaker 2>twenty four hour. He's got great memories to favor of,

0:47:37.239 --> 0:47:40.279
<v Speaker 2>like playing in the snow, throwing snowballs to bolganing. But

0:47:40.360 --> 0:47:43.879
<v Speaker 2>that's twenty minutes of that twenty four hours. Just fuck

0:47:44.040 --> 0:47:48.440
<v Speaker 2>it goes so sly. Yeah, definitely needed another pair of hands.

0:47:48.440 --> 0:47:51.120
<v Speaker 3>But is there another trip on the cards after this one?

0:47:51.360 --> 0:47:52.520
<v Speaker 3>Like we step it up a notch.

0:47:53.120 --> 0:47:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, I think I'll have to do it again.

0:47:55.200 --> 0:47:57.520
<v Speaker 2>We might come up to Sydney. Actually, did you get

0:47:57.520 --> 0:48:01.279
<v Speaker 2>your dad credit? First of all, oh so much, my wife,

0:48:01.600 --> 0:48:03.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm giving it to you. Just admit, she kept saying,

0:48:03.760 --> 0:48:07.000
<v Speaker 2>just admit it was hard. Soon it was really easy.

0:48:07.000 --> 0:48:07.759
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, I.

0:48:09.960 --> 0:48:10.960
<v Speaker 3>Like Max in a wheelchair.

0:48:12.600 --> 0:48:14.719
<v Speaker 1>We spoke yesterday after you said I took the kids

0:48:14.719 --> 0:48:18.280
<v Speaker 1>away on my own and we both went fuck that.

0:48:18.440 --> 0:48:20.800
<v Speaker 1>So you've got one up on us as visual.

0:48:21.160 --> 0:48:22.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. If you think it's going to be a normal

0:48:22.840 --> 0:48:26.759
<v Speaker 2>holiday now with kids, you're not you used to have.

0:48:27.000 --> 0:48:29.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm so frustrated at the airport and all sorts of

0:48:29.840 --> 0:48:31.520
<v Speaker 1>things like now that I used to be like, oh,

0:48:31.560 --> 0:48:33.800
<v Speaker 1>we grab the bag. Now I'm like, get the bag,

0:48:34.360 --> 0:48:35.279
<v Speaker 1>get to the higher car.

0:48:35.719 --> 0:48:37.279
<v Speaker 2>One of one of the best bits. I don't know

0:48:37.320 --> 0:48:43.320
<v Speaker 2>how your wives pack, but three months before and everything that, everything,

0:48:43.560 --> 0:48:46.480
<v Speaker 2>the kitchen sinks in them. They're first drawing a fucking

0:48:46.680 --> 0:48:50.359
<v Speaker 2>old passport. What's going on? And we have to bring

0:48:50.360 --> 0:48:52.399
<v Speaker 2>a suitcase full of nappies. It's like we went down

0:48:52.440 --> 0:48:54.640
<v Speaker 2>to the Gold Coasts they sell them there. What the

0:48:54.640 --> 0:48:57.200
<v Speaker 2>fuck are we doing? We went to Balley and my wife's.

0:48:56.920 --> 0:49:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Like, why do you have so many suitcases? And she's like,

0:49:00.719 --> 0:49:02.239
<v Speaker 1>we'll go to have all the nappies. I was like,

0:49:02.400 --> 0:49:04.439
<v Speaker 1>first of all, they sell nappies there. She's like, they're

0:49:04.440 --> 0:49:06.239
<v Speaker 1>not going to be the same, and I was like,

0:49:06.280 --> 0:49:08.560
<v Speaker 1>they are going to be the same. Like you understand

0:49:08.560 --> 0:49:10.520
<v Speaker 1>that tourists go there all the time, right, yeah.

0:49:10.800 --> 0:49:11.880
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, oh, do you know what we

0:49:11.880 --> 0:49:12.200
<v Speaker 2>should do?

0:49:12.200 --> 0:49:14.480
<v Speaker 1>We should putting in my board bag just to protect

0:49:14.480 --> 0:49:15.400
<v Speaker 1>the surfboards.

0:49:15.400 --> 0:49:17.319
<v Speaker 2>Smart that's that's a dad brain.

0:49:17.840 --> 0:49:19.960
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, sweet, let's do that. Save us

0:49:20.000 --> 0:49:22.759
<v Speaker 1>a whole nother suitcase. Anyway, the surfboard didn't turn up.

0:49:23.200 --> 0:49:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh, and she was like, I told you this would happen.

0:49:26.239 --> 0:49:27.640
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, look, we'll go to the shop

0:49:27.960 --> 0:49:29.040
<v Speaker 2>lo and behold, guess what.

0:49:29.040 --> 0:49:32.560
<v Speaker 1>They've got their fucking nappy and they got a whole

0:49:32.600 --> 0:49:33.640
<v Speaker 1>wall of them and.

0:49:33.600 --> 0:49:36.040
<v Speaker 2>She was like oh. I was like, oh my gosh.

0:49:36.080 --> 0:49:39.160
<v Speaker 2>So that was one of the best bits was because

0:49:39.200 --> 0:49:41.920
<v Speaker 2>I've the most frustrated I've ever been. I reckon is

0:49:42.280 --> 0:49:45.560
<v Speaker 2>my wife saying, hey, don't worry, I've got myself and

0:49:45.600 --> 0:49:47.960
<v Speaker 2>the boys covered. You just pack whatever you need. So

0:49:48.080 --> 0:49:49.600
<v Speaker 2>she'll pack it all and then you go, hey, you

0:49:49.600 --> 0:49:52.719
<v Speaker 2>go put it in the car. And I'm like, this

0:49:52.760 --> 0:49:58.560
<v Speaker 2>is like tetrist, that's fucking my spine. The concept of

0:49:58.600 --> 0:50:01.680
<v Speaker 2>space is not know what, you expected me to try

0:50:01.719 --> 0:50:05.040
<v Speaker 2>and fire around here, find a way it gets done.

0:50:05.080 --> 0:50:07.359
<v Speaker 2>But I'm always frustrated. So the fact that I got

0:50:07.360 --> 0:50:11.719
<v Speaker 2>to pack it's like minimal. Take one pair of shorts. Yeah,

0:50:11.920 --> 0:50:14.000
<v Speaker 2>one shirt, Dad, I want to jump in the mud.

0:50:14.120 --> 0:50:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Well you got no other clothes.

0:50:16.640 --> 0:50:17.839
<v Speaker 3>I thought you were going to say that we're going

0:50:17.880 --> 0:50:22.080
<v Speaker 3>to try and walk across another boards like, Dad, come,

0:50:25.560 --> 0:50:26.320
<v Speaker 3>I need the credit.

0:50:27.040 --> 0:50:29.520
<v Speaker 2>It was funny. Yeah, it was just great. I don't know.

0:50:29.560 --> 0:50:31.959
<v Speaker 2>It was like little weird bits of it were fun.

0:50:31.960 --> 0:50:34.560
<v Speaker 2>Like we're driving through like the Dandi in I'm standing

0:50:34.640 --> 0:50:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Victoria and I want can we get some fruit? I

0:50:38.080 --> 0:50:40.320
<v Speaker 2>was like, yeah, for sure, I've reckoned. There's places around

0:50:40.360 --> 0:50:44.200
<v Speaker 2>here itself, there'd be little farms and packed it. But

0:50:46.280 --> 0:50:51.840
<v Speaker 2>we're hunter gatherers. When are these pretty prepared. Let's go

0:50:51.880 --> 0:50:54.520
<v Speaker 2>and get it ourselves. But you know, like we're driving

0:50:54.520 --> 0:50:56.400
<v Speaker 2>through and he's like, Dad, look at this sign. It

0:50:56.480 --> 0:50:58.640
<v Speaker 2>was just a massive painted apple. I'm like, yeah, man,

0:50:58.719 --> 0:51:00.400
<v Speaker 2>let's go in there. And it happened to be an

0:51:00.480 --> 0:51:04.040
<v Speaker 2>org that that had heaps then you know, just those

0:51:04.080 --> 0:51:07.319
<v Speaker 2>things they remember, like two massive bags of apples. Yeah,

0:51:07.640 --> 0:51:09.560
<v Speaker 2>kids are like this is this is crazy to see

0:51:09.560 --> 0:51:12.520
<v Speaker 2>that big apple. Yeah, sh they forget the snow. Yeah

0:51:12.560 --> 0:51:15.719
<v Speaker 2>you don't remember a big bag of apples? Yeah, absolutely,

0:51:15.840 --> 0:51:17.480
<v Speaker 2>But in like three years time, they'll be like that

0:51:17.520 --> 0:51:21.120
<v Speaker 2>big bag was. Like friends of my wife took their

0:51:21.200 --> 0:51:23.520
<v Speaker 2>kids on like an eight month caravanning trip or something

0:51:23.680 --> 0:51:25.880
<v Speaker 2>like so long, and then when they got back and

0:51:25.880 --> 0:51:28.520
<v Speaker 2>asked the kids, what was your favorite part? And I'm like, dad,

0:51:28.520 --> 0:51:30.799
<v Speaker 2>remember that caravan park when the Pooh truck came and

0:51:30.800 --> 0:51:36.479
<v Speaker 2>pumped all the pool out of the like we could

0:51:36.480 --> 0:51:38.040
<v Speaker 2>have just gone.

0:51:38.719 --> 0:51:41.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, before we go. I do want to ask. Maybe

0:51:41.880 --> 0:51:44.080
<v Speaker 3>there's there's no answer to this question, but I'll try

0:51:44.120 --> 0:51:48.279
<v Speaker 3>my luck anyway. Is there any advice, like one particular

0:51:48.480 --> 0:51:51.680
<v Speaker 3>saying that you would say could help any potential mums

0:51:51.760 --> 0:51:53.920
<v Speaker 3>or dads out there who are expecting their first child.

0:51:54.719 --> 0:51:58.800
<v Speaker 2>You go on as many dates as possible. Now, okay,

0:51:59.239 --> 0:52:01.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm not This isn't even a tip for when the

0:52:01.120 --> 0:52:03.160
