Speaker 4: lovely apartment.

00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 3: And stains than I thought there would be.

20
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 4: But we came up to reception and I've got like

21
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 4: a bag of these ring lights. They're kind of sticking

22
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 4: out of my Duffel bag and I didn't know if

23
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 4: I should like say to the receptionist like this is

24
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 4: I'm not here for long?

25
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 3: Just the one hour. This isn't for only fans, I swear.

26
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 4: I was like, maybe I won't say anything, and then

27
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 4: I tried to go straight from the car park up

28
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 4: We've got So I should preface this chat and say

29
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 4: that Ash and I we don't know what we're doing.

30
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 4: You've pretty much stepped into assessed nut playing with two door.

31
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 3: It's a great perfect that's exactly how we podcast is

32
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 3: exactly how parent which somehow work. But we nearly didn't

33
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 3: make it because I put into the wrong like into

34
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 3: the GPS, the wrong hotel can happen, and we stead

35
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 3: a going to North Sydney. We went to North Rye

36
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 3: and I got out first and I was like, just here,

37
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 3: check in under Matthew Johnson. And then I was like

38
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 3: they need you, they need your ID. And then he

39
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 3: goes comes back to me, he said, I don't think

40
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 3: we're in the right players. Have I booked the wrong thing?

41
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 3: Have you brought us to the wrong players? And I

42
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 3: screwed the perch. But we made it.

43
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 4: The fact that we're sitting here, we're here and we've

44
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:19,839
Speaker 4: got to win.

45
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: It's a miracle. It is, it's an absolute miracle.

46
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 4: But Vinci, I want to start let's go back to

47
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 4: when you were a youngster. Right, I feel like I'm

48
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 4: going to say that I think you were someone who

49
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 4: was very well behaved and disciplined.

50
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: Would that be correct?

51
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 3: Well?

52
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 2: I was the third of four children, so I was

53
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: left to my own devices. Really, I was parented by

54
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 2: my brothers.

55
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 3: It is.

56
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: One was very responsible, very intellectual, not into sport. My

57
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: other brother not as intellectual. Let's go a little bit early.

58
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: We won't say name.

59
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: Lets school attle bit early and yeah, we I just

60
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: played sport. That was all I wanted to do. I

61
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: hated school. I did have great parents. Sorry, I do

62
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 2: have they're still growing up. My parents were fantastic. They

63
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 2: gave us everything that we needed. There wasn't a huge

64
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 2: amount of affection in our family, but I think growing

65
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: up in the country, when you're when you're out playing

66
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: sport and everything, what else do you need?

67
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're likes al right. He's just getting on with it,

68
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 3: you know, just hitting hundreds left fronts where you know,

69
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 3: this podcast is very much about, you know, how we

70
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 3: dad and the silly shit that we do and we

71
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 3: talk about. Do you see a lot of with Essie

72
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 3: as you referred to her, who she's coming up to

73
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 3: should be two in September. YEP, is that correct? So

74
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 3: you're only a couple of months off my youngest Macy.

75
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 3: So there's a lot of similarities at that time. And

76
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 3: I always look at Macy and some of the silly

77
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 3: things she does. She's like, I always describe her as

78
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: a drunk person looking for their car, because every time

79
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 3: she's walking around she kind of looks like you're in

80
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: a car park looking to where she parked a car.

81
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 3: I remember, yeah, I can't remember. And there's so many

82
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: things I see her do. Not the drunk bit, man,

83
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: but there's so many things that I see her. I'm like, fuck,

84
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 3: that reminds me so much of me and my childhood.

85
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 3: Is there so much that you see inness as you do?

86
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 3: You think she's a lot more like her mum, which

87
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 3: is a good thing. Every dad says that, like when you.

88
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: Find out that you're pregnant, you go through the excited

89
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: stage and then you think for a minute, you're like, oh, no,

90
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 2: are thinking to be She turns out like me, We're

91
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: in real trouble. She's quite an emotional little girl. She's beautiful,

92
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 2: she's very intelligent, and she knows what she wants. She's

93
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 2: just starting to get into the tantrum stage where.

94
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 3: They're not too bad.

95
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: But if you offer something that she doesn't want that's

96
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 2: not good enough, you should already.

97
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 3: Know it should be helepathic. I love how like at

98
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 3: that age and Matt's sort of over the little hurdle

99
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 3: now where Lola is over to and into the terrible

100
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 3: twos and you're just about to hit it too. But

101
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 3: they're at the age where s he is, and like

102
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 3: Macy is, they're really like over exaggerate, like a no,

103
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 3: They're like, if you've give them something that I want.

104
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 3: Mace's like that we don't have the headshat yet. We

105
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 3: get that. No, ye, no, yeah, yeah, it feels like

106
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 3: es there's in the room right now, really good. Do

107
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 3: you want to watch the Wiggles? No? Are you sure? Wiggles?

108
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 2: That means yes, we're right. And then you put it

109
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 2: on and it'll come on to a song, be like, no,

110
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 2: skip to the next one, No, I want Rebella, And

111
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 2: then you go back to the start and it's, oh,

112
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 2: this is the best song I've ever heard in my life,

113
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 2: and everything's restored in the world together.

114
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 4: Even that tiny level of communication is just so welcome

115
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 4: when you've come from like two years of just like

116
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 4: what do you want? When they're unhappy, you're kind of

117
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 4: going through this list of like is it food? Do

118
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 4: you want like a toy? Is there something behind me

119
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 4: that I can't see? So when you can get any

120
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,799
Speaker 4: direction verbally from the kids, it's amazing.

121
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially when they like point and it's like there

122
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 3: could be a number of objects in that area and

123
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 3: they're like, you're sitting there, you're picking up different things,

124
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: and you're like this, no, picking up there, No, and

125
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 3: then you pick up the right thing. You're like, yeah,

126
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 3: that's right. But that caused the tantrum.

127
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: The fact that you didn't know what it was so funny,

128
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: and I'm very relaxed, I would say in my parenting style.

129
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 2: My wife's probably the opposite. She spent a lot more

130
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 2: time with her. I've traveled quite a bit alone while

131
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 2: she's in the last two years, so she knows what

132
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 2: she wants a lot quicker than what I do. But

133
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 2: I've got a great ability to tune out any screams

134
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 2: or crying.

135
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 3: Oh, that's amazing, such an advantage.

136
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 4: I think not to stereotype he but I think it's

137
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 4: just a dad think, yeah, I can. I sleep through absolutely,

138
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 4: And I say to Laura, my wife, I'm like, just

139
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 4: wake wake me up, because it doesn't pin drops and

140
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 4: Laura's up, Whereas there could be a tank smashing through

141
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 4: the front door and I'd still be.

142
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 3: See I'm the opposite. I'm like, I'll wake up like

143
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: it's like a like Radar from mash coming April is

144
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 3: the same. But like you know how you always make

145
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 3: fun of me because I got to bet at like

146
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,559
Speaker 3: seven thirty. That's why. Because I'm not like you, he'll

147
00:06:58,920 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 3: freight train you.

148
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 2: Wait, oh mate, I'll sleep with the best of them. Sorry,

149
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 2: I sleep like the best of them.

150
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 3: Sorry. But I always find that I wake up on

151
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 3: the kid's floor without knowing how I got there, because

152
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 3: I would just be like already and just it's just

153
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 3: become this thing funny. I wake up in the spare

154
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 3: bed after a few years. Well yeah, we don't have

155
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 3: a spare bed, just the floor and the kids.

156
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: Finci.

157
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 4: One question that we get a lot from people who

158
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,239
Speaker 4: are not yet with kids but thinking about having kids

159
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 4: is when did you know that you were ready to

160
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 4: start a family.

161
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: For you and your wife?

162
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 4: How did that conversation come about and was it something

163
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 4: that you were leading or was it from amy.

164
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 3: Very good question.

165
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 2: I don't think we were ready, even though no one

166
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: is that.

167
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 3: No one, no one is ready.

168
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: And we also weren't convinced that we're going to have

169
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 2: children like we were quite selfishly I think at times. Well, no,

170
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 2: it lost pretty good at the moment. Anything you want

171
00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 2: to do.

172
00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 3: You look back and like, you know what, it was

173
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 3: really good.

174
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 2: That's the best thing every and I would never change it.

175
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: But we were like, if it happens, it happened. If

176
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: it doesn't, we're both okay with that life. I guess,

177
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 2: being able to just drop anything and go somewhere and yeah,

178
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 2: but you take it for granted, don't you. And then

179
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: but it wasn't until I found out New Year's Day.

180
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 3: So that would have been that's pretty cool. Thousand.

181
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 2: Well you'd think so, right, you're getting home, so we're

182
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 2: in the we're playing Big Bash at the time, and

183
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 2: we're in the Bubby Yeah. Yeah, and we're in Queensland

184
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 2: on the Gold Coast and you could only go to

185
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: this area.

186
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 3: In that area, you couldn't go anywhere else. So was

187
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 3: your wife in the she was with us. Yeah, that's

188
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 3: pretty sure. Yeah, so that was cool.

189
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 2: And a couple of days in we were bickering quite

190
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 2: a bit and she was like, this is ship. I'm

191
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 2: going home, not knowing that she's pregnant at the time.

192
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 2: And I think it was New Year's Day or Newyear's Eve.

193
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 2: I think Newyear's Day. I got a phone call and

194
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 2: she goes, oh, I have you checked your messages? Put

195
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 2: the phone on loud and have a look. And then

196
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: we're like, right, well that explains a lot. But your

197
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 2: emotions are up and down, not knowing what was happening.

198
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 3: But it was so cool up until then.

199
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: Were you trying or were you kind of.

200
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 3: Just if it happens, if it happens to happen. No,

201
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 3: we weren't actively trying. We were practicing, weren't practicing, weren't practicing,

202
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 3: but we weren't careful anything like that. So that's the

203
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 3: greatest thing ever when you find out the first time.

204
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 3: And then obviously it's so nerve wracking the steps that

205
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: you take, like with all the tests and skins and stuff,

206
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 3: and you're just praying and yeah, and I was away

207
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 3: for a few of them, so you're doing them almost secondhand.

208
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 3: Like passing on Amy's passing on information that they've told her.

209
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 3: And yeah, it's quite tough at times, isn't it. That

210
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 3: everything's going well, and then you're like, right, scan shit

211
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 3: yourself a little bit when you go okay, Well, there's

212
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 3: these big scans and these big tests that they do

213
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 3: and there's that time between you know, you find out

214
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 3: and when a little bit safer through the journey. And

215
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 3: there were so many there is so many times we

216
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 3: were like shit. And I suppose it leads us into

217
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 3: the dynamic with you because both of us we don't

218
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 3: travel the world to play or work.

219
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think cricket would be a sport where you guys,

220
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 4: of all athletes would travel the most. Yeah, I reckon,

221
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 4: how many months are you guys away at Bullpark?

222
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 3: Maybe ten months? Wow, it's crazy. And that's what we're

223
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 3: talking about on the way here, because I mean, you're

224
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 3: about to do a stint in July with San Francisco

225
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 3: in then Major League cricket yep. And he was like, what, Like,

226
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 3: it's so crazy how much you guys actually travel. And

227
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 3: I know that I had to be there for all

228
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 3: these tests, had to be there for all of the

229
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 3: lead up the build up, the nine months build up,

230
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 3: and then of course like when it's going to happen,

231
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 3: and for you guys, like you're away for ten months

232
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 3: and you know, okay, well the judate is hereabout and

233
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 3: if they come early or come late, either you're going

234
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 3: to miss some of your career or you're going to

235
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 3: miss the birth of your child. Yeah, it's quite difficult.

236
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 2: And during COVID especially was even more challenging because in

237
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 2: the past, guys, we're booked in for a caesar or

238
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 2: were induced on this day, so I can leave the

239
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 2: tour up here, come home and then rejoin if everything

240
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 2: goes well. But then with two weeks quarantine, you're like, no, no,

241
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 2: everything has to be planned out. So I was really

242
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 2: lucky in being able to be home for it. But

243
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 2: then a month later I was in. Maybe three weeks

244
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 2: later we had the World Cup in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

245
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 2: So thenngratulations on the win. But you pack your bags

246
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: and you're off again. Yeah, yeah, exactly right, and then

247
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 2: Amy's at home like a new baby.

248
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 3: I don't know what. So after that point that everything

249
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 3: is okay, You've got to pack your bags and going

250
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,599
Speaker 3: with a World Cup for us, thank you. What is

251
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 3: it like for her, like, what's the support network there?

252
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 2: Well, her mum lived really close, so that was handy.

253
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 2: So she would always be over at our place or

254
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 2: staying over when I was away, and even when I

255
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 2: was there because I'm not an overly emotional person at all,

256
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 2: but within the first four days, I'd had two meltdowns.

257
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 3: Wow, so one in the hospital a couple of menty

258
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 3: bees from I was unbelievable.

259
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 2: What happened in the hospital first night, get back up

260
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 2: to the birthing room and they just there's your baby,

261
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 2: good life, good luck. And then then I said I

262
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 2: will be back in ten minutes, and Esta's screaming and

263
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 2: we're like, no one's coming for like an hour. So

264
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 2: because there was a there was an emergency there, but

265
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 2: we're like, geez, we don't know what to do. So

266
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 2: that was like a little bit of an eye opener.

267
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 2: And then the first night that we got home, she

268
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 2: just wouldn't stop crying and will bottle feeding. So the

269
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 2: formula to calculate how much you need to feed was

270
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 2: like an older nurse gave it to us, and that

271
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 2: was off a scale from nineteen eighty six.

272
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 3: She was just hungry, just like Malmourish.

273
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: I certainly wasn't. I was eighty six. Yeah, that was difficult,

274
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 2: no doubt to pack up and go. But Amy her

275
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 2: mum has been amazing for us. And then when we

276
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 2: decided to move down to Geelong, so we're in Essenon.

277
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 2: We moved down to Geelong, which is an hour away

278
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 2: and m'm been a bit further away and my parents

279
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 2: been another hour on. That had its challenges as well,

280
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 2: just we're traveling a bit.

281
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 4: Do you have to manage those conversation then, you know,

282
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 4: because I guess you know what your schedule is going

283
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 4: to look like. So do you have to say, hey,

284
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 4: I'm going to be gone for this block and this block? Yeah,

285
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 4: this block, because you don't want to surprise your partner

286
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 4: with like, oh did I not mention that I've got

287
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 4: the World Cup coming up?

288
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 3: Yeah? You do.

289
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 2: But there's always things that do come up. And that's

290
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 2: when it's like a difficult conversation because when you're away

291
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 2: for so much, I feel really bad about leaving again,

292
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 2: especially if it's on short notice, because that's quite unfair

293
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 2: at times because it's all for me. You can justify

294
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 2: it however you want. At times and you say, well,

295
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 2: I'm doing this to set our family up and stuff

296
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 2: like that, but then reality is she's with a baby.

297
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 3: By herself for five weeks.

298
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 2: I was just in India commentating for five and a

299
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: half weeks, and that was the most difficult that it's

300
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: been because Esther's on face time and then she realizes.

301
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 3: That she's recognizing you.

302
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not coming home, so then she doesn't want

303
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 2: to talk to you on FaceTime and she's emotional, she's

304
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 2: getting teeth and she's sick, and yeah, it's difficult, and

305
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 2: my wife is amazing, But when you're away, you sort

306
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 2: of take it for granted a bit too.

307
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, for sure, I can't imagine that You're saying

308
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 3: to Amy, like, all right, babe, so I'm just about

309
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 3: to go to India, and then after India, I'm after

310
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 3: a stage and do.

311
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 2: Like they're coming to the States, which would be cool.

312
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 3: That yeah, funny story.

313
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 2: Right when I was playing in the IPL, they came

314
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 2: to India, they had to do three days quarantine to

315
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 2: get into the IPL bubble and then we'll confined to

316
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 2: the hotel. So it was all, it was all pretty good.

317
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 2: It still was I think seven months so she's just

318
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 2: crawling around and people in India love kids, so everyone

319
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 2: wants to hold her and stuff. Anyway, on the flight

320
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 2: back they got to Singapore, I said, hell was a

321
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 2: flight she has Yeah, flight was okay, Yes, to slept,

322
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 2: But then she sent me a photo as they landed,

323
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 2: and she had a tight turnaround as she landed. Little

324
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 2: did we know at the time she had salmonella. Esther

325
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 2: had salmonella and they both got COVID. It was almost

326
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 2: like as a plane touchdown, Esther has shit everywhere all up.

327
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 2: But then she's still got to get the carrier on

328
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 2: to carry Amy so she can take the bags and

329
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 2: then try and rush to the lounge have a shower.

330
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 3: She's like, I don't know what to do baby.

331
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, so there are the times when you're like,

332
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 2: welcome to parenthood.

333
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 3: The imagine poor Amy walking through the airport, Singapore airport

334
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 3: with a baby covered in ship strapped to her chest,

335
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 3: trying to find the nearest shower.

336
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, where is that in the baby manual?

337
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 2: It's not that's not that's and but we didn't know

338
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 2: that she was sick really at the time.

339
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 3: And then just hits them, doesn't that Yeah.

340
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 2: That stuff doesn't bother me one bit to be like

341
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 2: nappies and ship and stuff.

342
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, so like that was like something I wanted to

343
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 3: ask you too, because for you, like you get home,

344
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 3: so you've been a long stint, you get home, does

345
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 3: Amy just go his years and hand her over up? Now, mate,

346
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 3: the next ten shits are on you.

347
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 2: No, not really, No, it's it's more I don't want

348
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 2: to do anything while I'm at home because I think

349
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 2: that's then really unfair on Amy as well, because she's

350
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 2: done it all by herself for a while. So then

351
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 2: I come home and I'm like, well, I haven't seen

352
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 2: the boys for all. I'm just going to go to

353
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 2: the pub or he's going to go play golf. Sounds like, Matt,

354
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 2: I don't even bother with that stuff anymore. If esther's

355
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 2: at daycare or something, there are days to either be

356
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 2: just together or yeah, be able to do something. So's

357
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 2: it has its challenges, but it's also great when you

358
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 2: hear baby shitting himself and where to.

359
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 3: Be seen smell.

360
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 4: How do you find having a baby's impacted you as

361
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 4: an athlete?

362
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: Because I know.

363
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 3: You're not an athlete, Matt. You do a run here

364
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 3: and there, you're not an athlete sign.

365
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: You know.

366
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 4: I think about when I'm working and if you have

367
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 4: a bad night's sleep and you crap the next day,

368
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 4: then I think for an elite athlete, having a child

369
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 4: could be such a handicap. Like it's almost like, if

370
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 4: you've got a kid, you should start with like six

371
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 4: runs on the board.

372
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: I you've got two kids, start with twelve runs on

373
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: the board. Did you find it?

374
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 3: Davey warned to how many kids? That guy he's got

375
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 3: three girls. Though, if you've got three girls, you should

376
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 3: start on fifty. I give him my leg out. I

377
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 3: don't think Vierat would really like it.

378
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 4: Did you find that it had any impact on how

379
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 4: you were as an athlete?

380
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 3: No?

381
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 2: I was lucky and unlucky. I guess. I had surgery

382
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 2: on my knee just before Esther was born, so then

383
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 2: I was doing rehab and stuff like that. But we're

384
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 2: living in Melbourne, so I didn't have to travel far

385
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 2: to do that. And then since we've moved to Geelong,

386
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 2: which was against Amy's wishes a little bit.

387
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 3: I was actually in I.

388
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 2: Was in Pakistan and got a call and she said,

389
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 2: I found.

390
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 3: A place in Geelong. Right, it's a really nice place.

391
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 2: And yeah, and we bought it while I was on

392
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 2: a flight from Karachi to Dubai.

393
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 3: Crazy.

394
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 2: But when you move away from your family, especially her mum,

395
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 2: who she's very close with her mum, so that was

396
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 2: difficult because then you lose your immediate support network and.

397
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 3: You've got a rebuild that.

398
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 2: And when I'm away so much, it's difficult on her

399
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 2: note doubt, And I've always not drifted, but you just

400
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 2: someone tells you where to be, someone books your flight,

401
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 2: someone does all that stuff. So if anything happened for

402
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 2: this trip for the US, we're all going over together.

403
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 2: Because originally I was going to fly over play and

404
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 2: then Amy and Esta would come and meet me and

405
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 2: with holiday and then do a little bit of Europe.

406
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 2: And Amy said, there was no fucking chance. I'm traveling

407
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 2: fifteen hours by myself with a toddler. So there's a

408
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 2: toddler stage now.

409
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: She yeah, getting her track record of flights, isn't She.

410
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 2: Was to run around and get into stuff, so she goes.

411
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 3: Right stop them too when they get like she walking,

412
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 3: she runs around, she runs the house. Yeah, but like

413
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 3: full arm still or she doesn't know what to do

414
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 3: with her arms yet.

415
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 2: If you say, fly, she puts them behind herself.

416
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, and like you're getting at the age where her

417
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 3: on the plane where they're just up and down there,

418
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 3: up and down because you can't stop them. When they

419
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 3: were like, you know, a little bit younger, and they

420
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 3: was sitting up and they were kind of crawling on things,

421
00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 3: you could sort of manage them on the seat. But

422
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 3: like Matt and I both know that, you get a

423
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 3: kid on a plane now and they're like, first thing,

424
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 3: You're like, look out the window. It's amazing, because that's

425
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 3: fucking amazing if you're that small. But they're like bought

426
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 3: of that. I'm just going to run up and down

427
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 3: this hallway and annoy everyone I possibly can, and you

428
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 3: find yourself saying like, okay, daddy wants you to stop

429
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 3: doing that now.

430
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 2: So I couldn't give a shit, what do you want

431
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 2: it exactly? So the tickets came through, and we said

432
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 2: from the start, Aman and my flight were covered, but

433
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 2: pay for a separate ticket for esthera so she's got

434
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 2: her own seat. So anyway, the tickets come through and

435
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 2: there's two seats and they've booked. Look, she's under two,

436
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 2: so I understand. It's it, he said, look really sorry,

437
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 2: but can we book her a seat because fifteen hours

438
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 2: that's a long time for almost two year old on

439
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 2: your lap. They said, yep, no worries, And Amy's stressing,

440
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 2: like the SI sent through the updated itinery. I'm like,

441
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 2: it's all right, it'll come through, like there's people's jobs.

442
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 2: But she's such a planner and I'm just so carefull

443
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 2: in that regard because I know that it will happen.

444
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 2: I've been in situations before where I'm driving to the airport.

445
00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 2: I still don't have a ticket, i haven't sent it through,

446
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 2: but I know that if they want me to be there, yeah.

447
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 3: You're on there. I'll be on the floor, you're on

448
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 3: the manifest. Yeah.

449
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 2: So it's just things like that that I'm grateful for.

450
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's just.

451
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 4: I thought when you were playing overseas, like, obviously you're

452
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 4: staying in hotel rooms at home, if the baby is crying,

453
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 4: you can have some distance and you can actually you

454
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 4: still get a good night's sleep. How do you manage

455
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 4: that whilst you're playing abroad staying in a hotel?

456
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 2: Best has always been pretty good. She'll grizzle, except last night.

457
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 2: Last night, getting out of bed was shocking, and then

458
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 2: once she's in bed she's fine. Teeth coming through a

459
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 2: bit of a cough and daycare.

460
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 3: But really too with the TV, yeah, it all goes south.

461
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, she's always been pretty good in that regard.

462
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 2: We've been really lucky because you hear some people were

463
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 2: with a friend the other day and the kid wakes

464
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 2: up every hour.

465
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was like, I've been through that. Yeah, so

466
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 3: that's why I look so you're really twenty two. This

467
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 3: is my first beer.

468
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 2: So we've been lucky like that. There's only been well,

469
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 2: I've been home a handful of nights where often she'll

470
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 2: wake up in the middle of the night and Amy

471
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 2: end up sleeping on the floor, spending a lot of

472
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 2: time on the floor and she'll just look around see

473
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 2: that she's there and everything's good. But if you're not,

474
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 2: where's moment she must be just starting to dream at

475
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,959
Speaker 2: the moment. The other night she woke up and Amy's like, right,

476
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 2: she's not going to go back to sleep at the moment,

477
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 2: so she brought her out. This is like ten to ten.

478
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 2: You would have been three hours in your sleeper. There,

479
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 2: Amy's holding her, She's still in her sleep suit, and

480
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 2: she just sits. My nephew's name is Miller, and the

481
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 2: week before we've been to watch him play footy, like

482
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 2: under twelve footage footy, just picking up a car. Jay's

483
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 2: my brother Ja drive car footy. And then she starts

484
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 2: reeling off everyone at daycare.

485
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 3: Her teacher, good Will Hunting.

486
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 2: SI's her teacher said, She's like, is crazy, yeah, Mac Dakota,

487
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 2: and she just starts reeling off everyone and then goes

488
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 2: through our family. One minute, lady, she's asleep again. So

489
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 2: it's like, obviously her brain is just going so hard

490
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 2: that she's she's woken up and gone on.

491
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 3: I just need to tell somebody everything that I know,

492
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 3: all the words I know.

493
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: Back to sleep, tick it off the list, and like, yeah.

494
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 3: Our daughter at a similar age. It's all just obviously

495
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 3: no sentences. It's just like one word, maybe one or

496
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 3: two words combined, if you can really encourage them. But

497
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 3: because now this is with my second I've readopted the

498
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 3: internal monologue of calling myself daddy. And we made a

499
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 3: bit of a joke about this that I always refer

500
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 3: to myself as daddy even when the kids aren't there,

501
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,719
Speaker 3: and I got me thinking about like when I go

502
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 3: to work and do work things, and I still refer

503
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 3: to myself as daddy and awkward and very awkward. But

504
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 3: I also wanted to ask you if you ever played

505
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 3: a cut shot and thought Daddy just played a cut shot.

506
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 2: No, I can't say I have it.

507
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 3: Do you know what the next cut shot you make,

508
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 3: you'd be like Daddy good on that cut.

509
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 2: There's times when you hit one, you jesus, I'm good.

510
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 3: I just rever to myself so much as a daddy thirsty,

511
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 3: just because I talked to them like that. Yeah.

512
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,239
Speaker 2: I think for mums, especially who do quite a lot

513
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 2: of it by themselves, like adult conversations must just be

514
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 2: the only thing that they're craving sleep sleep obviously, and

515
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 2: conversations with another adult that is not just mine numbing. Yes, darling,

516
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 2: Yes I don't touch that.

517
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: When you look up.

518
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 4: Until now the time you've had with esther, is there

519
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 4: a moment where you thought, this is so much harder

520
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 4: than I ever imagined.

521
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 2: All the time, my wife and I talk about it

522
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 2: all the time. It's like, just how much you actually

523
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 2: have to I guess occupy.

524
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: Them that's never ending.

525
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 2: And when they can move around, it's all right. When

526
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 2: they're just laying there or just crawling. But once they're

527
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 2: on the move, you literally you can't go to the

528
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 2: toilet without them following you. Well, you put them down

529
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 2: and they're not happy, so they just follow you and

530
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 2: they grab you. And Amy's like, I just didn't get

531
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 2: anything done. And I had on Monday. Today today's Wednesday.

532
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 2: So on Monday I had Amy had a few things

533
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 2: to do, so I had Esther and my two nephew

534
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 2: and niece. But they're twelve and ten, so they helped

535
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 2: look after it.

536
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 3: They did majority of the parenting.

537
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 2: They did a lot, and Bounce did a lot as well.

538
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 2: We went to bounce and Esther's jumping around like an idiot.

539
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 2: But I got home at the end of the day

540
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 2: name he goes, oh, I did you do this and this?

541
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 2: I said, I didn't have any time.

542
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

543
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 2: She's like no, ship, Yeah, She's like, how do you

544
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 2: think I'd get through five weeks of this? I'm like, oh, look,

545
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 2: I had a bit of time, but I just decided.

546
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 3: To spend quality time with my daughter, for sure.

547
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 2: But when they go down for their nap, that's not

548
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 2: your reals time.

549
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,479
Speaker 3: And oh you bang on there. Yeah, I've become a napper.

550
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 3: I just napped now, Oh I see I can't.

551
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: I can't nap either.

552
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 2: If I nap, then I'm up till midnight, guaranteed. I've

553
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 2: taught myself. But that's my time to like do my

554
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 2: numbing things.

555
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 3: That are just like compressed, just reels and it's took

556
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 3: and then you hear them stir and when they wake up, like,

557
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 3: I'm not ready. I actually wanted to get a nappy,

558
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 3: but I didn't round a goal real quick.

559
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 4: Who was someone who you turn to for advice with

560
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,479
Speaker 4: any any players like Warner for example, did you go

561
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 4: to him and say.

562
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: Hey, like, how do you get through teething? How can

563
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:19,239
Speaker 1: you help me through this?

564
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 2: Cricketers probably aren't the right people to ask that question

565
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 2: because because everyone's on the road so much, and guys

566
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 2: travel with their families at different times, like at the

567
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 2: moment during the ashes, most of the families are over there,

568
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 2: which is brilliant, But in COVID no one could travel,

569
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 2: so it was sort of like, hey, kids going good.

570
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 3: Good, Yeah, I think they're okay, they're breathing.

571
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 2: Just friends, that's all you. But everyone's so different. Everyone

572
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 2: will have similar experiences but in such a different way.

573
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 2: And how people parent is totally different as well, So

574
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 2: asking for advice sometimes can be the worst thing. I

575
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 2: think just hearing people. It's all right to ask for advice.

576
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 2: It a lot of times it will have no relevance

577
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 2: on you.

578
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, because people are always going to be different to Yeah.

579
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 2: Absolutely, so I was always a believer. It's amazing when

580
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 2: you when you travel a bit too, you get home

581
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 2: and you will issue because you've upset the routine.

582
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

583
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 2: No, now it's bath time, and because you've been wine

584
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 2: in her up, she.

585
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 3: Doesn't have a bath. Yeah, okay, all right. Seven. I

586
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 3: never thought about it like that because, yeah, because they've

587
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 3: got their routine down, pat, Yeah, we do this at

588
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 3: dinner at five point thirty, bath at six, their routine

589
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 3: and I'm home and all of a sudden, it's just

590
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 3: like fun, Dad's home. Yeah.

591
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 2: So in the early days, if she was ever crying,

592
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 2: I'd be like, just let her cry it out, should

593
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 2: be right, Yeah, But Amy's the polar opposite, so she's like, no, no.

594
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 3: We've got a routine. How we do it. Yeah, I

595
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 3: deal with it. But because you're not here five weeks.

596
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 2: Exactly, right, So that makes it that makes it difficult

597
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 2: and I think I'm not a planner, but I'm always early.

598
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 2: My wife's so detailed with planning, but she'll be there

599
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 2: like five seconds before she's meant to. That does my

600
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 2: head in. But my carefree it'll be right, like it'll

601
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 2: get so yeah yeah, but we're going tomorrow. Should we

602
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 2: book the flights?

603
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 3: It'll be right. Don't worry, someone will gould have done.

604
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 2: So we're polar opposites in that regard, and then when

605
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 2: it comes to parenting at times we've been polar ops.

606
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, we do do it this way. No,

607
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 2: this is how we do Okay, that's how we do it. Whatever,

608
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 2: it's not even a conversation anymore.

609
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 4: I'm going to take a wild guess and say that

610
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 4: you didn't read too many birthing pregnancy baby books.

611
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 3: Not one. Did you do the classes.

612
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 2: Heart but they weren't They weren't happening because it was COVID.

613
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 3: They did them online. Similar time, like we did a

614
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 3: CPR course, yeah baby CPR. Yeah yeah, so you did

615
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 3: the life saving one. I can't control any of the

616
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 3: other stuff. How to do a fucking nappy.

617
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 2: I was the third kid. My sister was nine years

618
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 2: younger than me.

619
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 3: Wow, So so you were changing her nappy. Yeah, from nine.

620
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 2: To sort of fifteen. That was a part of parenting her,

621
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 2: I guess sorry. In terms of the physical stuff, it

622
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 2: was amazing when es to come and that was what's

623
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 2: twenty years later that you still remember like straightaway, nappy

624
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 2: was no wish. I would always remembered how now you've

625
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: got the pull up ones and so much easier. But like,

626
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 2: it never bothered me. Nappis and stuff have never bothered

627
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 2: me because I grew up. You did doing that on

628
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,239
Speaker 2: my sister, So that was It's so fascinating how you

629
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 2: just remember shit that you thought she's that's never going

630
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 2: to be relevant again.

631
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a huge advantage having younger siblings. I had

632
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 4: two younger brothers, yeah, and I'm on a five so

633
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 4: it was very much a single mom as well. So

634
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 4: it was very much the kids had to like pull

635
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 4: their weight, and I think that was like the best

636
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 4: And I didn't get any classes either, but that was

637
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 4: like the best kind of taste of parenting. That was

638
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 4: like the beginning of the foundations for now. So mum,

639
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 4: thanks for having five.

640
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, fully, I mean, I don't know how you guys

641
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 3: have got two. Honestly that was going to be said dad.

642
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 3: A couple of don'ting dads. I mentioned too before and

643
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 3: your head went, no, don't know.

644
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 2: So one and done, one and done, one and done?

645
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 3: Is it? Like, is that your decision or is it

646
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 3: you are both mutual?

647
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 2: Both yea, Like I don't understand, Like, surely after one

648
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 2: you know how hard it is get your it's so

649
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 2: hard teething.

650
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,719
Speaker 3: They don't tell you how hard you do forget.

651
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 4: I think I do think once you've done it once.

652
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 4: I remember driving back from the hospital, Laura and I

653
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 4: are like, holy shit, like driving here and then like

654
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 4: you know, you just don't know what you're doing at all.

655
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 4: But then after one, you'd like you have a level

656
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 4: of confidence, which is maybe.

657
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 3: It's subconscious confidence though, because you really forget. Like I remember,

658
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 3: I was so adamant, like no, we did talk about

659
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 3: having two before having any like that was the ideal number.

660
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 3: And then after the one, I was like, nah, I'm

661
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 3: not going through that again, not going through the trauma of.

662
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 2: It all because you had to push out a baby,

663
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 2: that's fair.

664
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 3: The trauma of it all for her. But yeah, like

665
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 3: I was like, nah, the sleepless night it's like, you

666
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 3: know what, it's like, the teething, the whole bit. You

667
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 3: forget that, though you do, you do at a certain point,

668
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 3: you forget that. And once we had the second one,

669
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 3: like Matt saying, there's so much subconscious confidence you pick

670
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 3: up and.

671
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: You've got the equipment.

672
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 3: Now, there was so cool. There were so many things

673
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 3: that I did as a with the first baby that

674
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 3: I fumbled and bumbled my way through and I was like,

675
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 3: I'm fucking shit at this and that's no joke. But

676
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 3: then when the same instance happened with the second kid,

677
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 3: I was like, I got this, no fucking worries, even

678
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 3: though that was years ago and I never thought I

679
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 3: learned anything from it. Yeah, you just subconsciously the confidence

680
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 3: comes back and how you do that. Having two for

681
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 3: us in the end now is a blessing because Macy's

682
00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 3: my favorite is probably listening, you heard me right, but

683
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,239
Speaker 3: take the rubbish out. I get on your feet and

684
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 3: take the rubbish out, But.

685
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 2: Not at the bribery or reasoning stage. Yet she doesn't

686
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 2: quite understand that looking forward to that because my wife's

687
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 2: got a very very strong will, so do I and

688
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 2: my daughter is stubborn as well. So there could be

689
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 2: some Mexican stand up for a long time.

690
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 3: It happens. No one's seen the Finches for a while.

691
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Esther's still standing up.

692
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 3: I'm not going anywhere exactly.

693
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: Do you think you'll be playing a good cop then?

694
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 3: And some one's going to be in a good cop.

695
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 3: But know, whether you like it or not, it doesn't

696
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 3: bother me.

697
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 2: My wife naturally, she likes structure and tidiness, and she

698
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 2: naturally leans that way, whereas I'm.

699
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 3: You can bend it a bit.

700
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it wouldn't bother me if I had to be. Yeah,

701
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 2: and I probably should be more often. Yeah, for her

702
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 2: mental state than anything else.

703
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 3: I'm the bad Yeah. Well we'll just talked about this today.

704
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 3: My wife just sneaks my kid's chocolate and shit just

705
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 3: to keep on the good side. Yeah, I'm definitely the

706
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 3: bad cop.

707
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 4: When it came to retirement. What was that conversation like

708
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 4: with Amy?

709
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 2: It happened at the back of where we were sitting

710
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 2: in Cancer. We're playing in Cans three game series against

711
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 2: New Zealand. After the first game, I said to her,

712
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 2: I'm just not feeling it. My drive and my passion

713
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 2: isn't my performance has been pretty ordinary, and my body

714
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 2: wasn't great. And then after the second game I got

715
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 2: out and she was walking esther around in the pram

716
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 2: in cans and I just said I'm done.

717
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 3: He goes, all right, Wow was that quick? Yeah? And

718
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 3: like what were her what were her reactions to that?

719
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 3: She wasn't surprised.

720
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 2: I'm still playing ten twenties and I'm still playing a

721
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 2: little bit domestically, all a bit overseas and commentating.

722
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 3: So it was meant to be.

723
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 2: This year was meant to be a bit more of

724
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 2: home time and less traveling, spend more time with my family,

725
00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 2: and I've been on the road more this year than

726
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 2: ever before. So transitioning into commentating and broadcasting, you've sort

727
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 2: of got to take all the opportunities that you can.

728
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 3: So that's made it a bit more difficult when you're

729
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 3: playing full time. I think maybe, like you know, networks

730
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 3: and stuff, probably thinking he's playing full time, he's got

731
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 3: that's his main career, and now it's like, okay, well

732
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 3: Aaronthon's just going to step away and retire from international cricket.

733
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 3: He is still doing domestically. Let's grab hold of him,

734
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 3: you know, and bring and sort of pull you in

735
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 3: a couple of different directions instead of just like the

736
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 3: one direction of playing.

737
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 2: So well, I think the difference with our relationship compared

738
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 2: to a lot of others I guess is that we

739
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 2: met after I was already playing for Australia when I

740
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 2: was twenty seven, twenty six, twenty seven years as the

741
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,959
Speaker 2: same age. So even our initial dating and stuff like

742
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 2: dated for a bit. Then I went away for a

743
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 2: few months, I went to India and England. So yeah,

744
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 2: she knew what she was getting into beforehand. Doesn't mean

745
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 2: that I haven't made some selfish decisions over the time

746
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 2: based on my career, putting my career first and yeah,

747
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,959
Speaker 2: but you don't think about it that way until you retire.

748
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 3: You sit back and you go, shit, I did that?

749
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 2: Did I need to go and play there for a

750
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 2: month when it could have been anyway?

751
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean that's that's the thing. At the time,

752
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 3: it was what was right for you. Yeah, and yeah,

753
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 3: it being your whole career and the fact that you know,

754
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 3: you guys met when you were really in the thick

755
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 3: of it, as you know, playing international cricket and knew

756
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 3: what what was to be expected. It's kind of like

757
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 3: she stuck around for that and now you've trapped it

758
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 3: with a child. It's too late.

759
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 2: I'll tell you the biggest mistake I made, please, yeah,

760
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 2: we hear it. The biggest mistake I made was met

761
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 2: up a few times and then I went to India.

762
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 2: I was playing ipl and I invited her over. So

763
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 2: we've got a ten day stretch. We're in hydrobad at

764
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 2: the time, I was playing for hydro Bread. Would you

765
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 2: like to come over? She goes, yeah, no worries, that'll

766
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 2: be good. And I was trying to impress her, so

767
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 2: I bought her a business class ticket.

768
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,280
Speaker 3: Lovely, beautiful, good gesture.

769
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: Did it go down?

770
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,479
Speaker 3: Well? Went down great. She has not set an economy since.

771
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 2: So it's cost me an absolute fortune, all because I've

772
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 2: got my dick out and tried to But that's quite funny.

773
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 2: So we're big Texters aiming. I so will message all

774
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 2: day and then have quick calls and then at night

775
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 2: it'll be however longest it can be entertained on the

776
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 2: phone for. Yeah, that's how long our phone calls generally are.

777
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 2: There's not a huge amount of we don't ring.

778
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: And coming home back, coming home.

779
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

780
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 2: Well, because I'm either away or I'm homefully nothing in between. Yeah,

781
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 2: So we don't have that, but we'll message all day.

782
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 3: Then you get to the end of the day and

783
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 3: you go, how's your day. Yeah, But it's also your

784
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 3: way of keeping your relationship, like as a relationship, like

785
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 3: you got that's the thing that you guys do to

786
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 3: communicate all day And like I think a lot of

787
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 3: people take the text for granted. Like April and I

788
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 3: we barely text all day, but even though sometimes we

789
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 3: sit down and have dinner, we have nothing to talk about.

790
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 3: So it's good that that's your communication method to keep

791
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 3: that keep that little One.

792
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 4: Question we had in the last episode of the podcast

793
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 4: was how did you maintain the relationship with your partner

794
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,919
Speaker 4: after you had kids, And we kind of spoke about

795
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 4: the fact that you know, you're definitely the adjustment is

796
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 4: really hard to get used to. How did you guys.

797
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 3: Find that difficult?

798
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's probably still difficult as well because you're traveling.

799
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 2: When their babies, I think is a bit easier because

800
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 2: they don't know. But when when they're toddlers start to

801
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 2: recognize you, yeah, and recognize but miss you, I guess,

802
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 2: and then everything just becomes about the kids, the toddler baby.

803
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 2: So yeah, so then you end up that's all you

804
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 2: talk about. It's like, hell, was she today?

805
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 3: Yeah? She was good? And then you get to the

806
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 3: end you're like, right, I've got to go. So we

807
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 3: were saying, it's kind of like being a roommate with kids. Yeah,

808
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 3: you know, you kind of end up like that, a

809
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 3: little bit like coworkers. Yeah, and then when you finally

810
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 3: recognize that, hang on a minute, we need to work

811
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 3: on our relationship. And you go to plan to do

812
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 3: something and then you're both like fuck it, I'm too tired.

813
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 3: Or you go dinner and we sit down and all

814
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 3: you do is talk about the kids. Yeah's your life

815
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 3: just becomes so revolves entirely around Yeah.

816
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,240
Speaker 2: So we're probably still working through that, to be honest.

817
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 2: It's I think going to the US will be really

818
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 2: cool because we're a bit of playing, bit of holiday,

819
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 2: a bit of playing again.

820
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 3: How many weeks is it we're going to be away

821
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 3: ten weeks? Yeah, okay? And how many games you play

822
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 3: in that ten weeks?

823
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 2: Five maybe eight games all but play the US tournament,

824
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,240
Speaker 2: do a bit of holiday, and play another little tournament

825
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 2: like eight days, and then we go to Europe for

826
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,879
Speaker 2: a month and then that's finished off with all friends

827
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 2: wedding in Italy. So I think that'll be a really

828
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 2: good time that we're all just together and be able

829
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 2: to connect, and there's going to be other kids around,

830
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 2: so that'll be cool.

831
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's really cool.

832
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 4: Have you at any point gone? I think she's old

833
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 4: enough now to give her a bat and ball and

834
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 4: we're going to see if she's.

835
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 3: Got's hand hand.

836
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,319

00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 2: like a big, bigger ball. She's she's pretty good with that.

838
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:07,640

00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:11,560

00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 3: She loves like singing and dancing a.

845
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:31,160

00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 3: start doing the little things like that, Like Macy's got

860
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 3: this thing where she just throws everything in the bin.

861
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,520

Speaker 3: by doing those little things.

869
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, just watching them explore and watching them trying to

870
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 2: figure out like a drunk, Yeah, what is the use

871
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 2: of this? Yeah, but they keep looking around and then

872
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 2: they work it out pretty quick. Yeah, but they just

873
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:53,879
Speaker 2: copy everything.

874
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:57,000

Speaker 2: is a clean freak.

882
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 3: Were usually it's funny because we usually do these interviews
