Speaker 1: like uncomfortable. Yeah, look, if.
Speaker 3: It's been a while between you know, treating myself, if
Speaker 3: you will I then will I reckon if Actually my
Speaker 3: biggest fear of going into the jungle was that if
Speaker 3: I don't relieve myself that I would say normally after
Speaker 3: a week, definitely two weeks, I am then due for
Speaker 3: a wet dream. Yeah right, yeah, yeah. I thought we're
Speaker 3: all grown out of there.
Speaker 1: So it's like it's like a damn wall. The dam
Speaker 1: is full, going to release some pressure. What do you
Speaker 1: do with morning wood in the jungle? I wouldn't really
Speaker 1: get it. I'm not talking about the trees. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: really get it. I get it. Body is just yes,
Speaker 1: not in an arousing environment anyway. Let's move on.
Speaker 3: So talking about actually talking about being confused by things
Speaker 3: that happened during the night time. Okay, go ahead, gonna
Speaker 3: be cameras because Jess is away on holiday.

Speaker 3: hope you have be a good time.
Speaker 1: We do. You've left of a time.
Speaker 3: I assion myself here to defend ourselves like the good
Speaker 3: old days. When we first started, it was just the
Speaker 3: two of us. It's taken us about six hours to
Speaker 3: record this episode. I got here at sunrise.
Speaker 1: Well we'll get we hit the ground running six hours later.
Speaker 1: It's now he stayed the night. He's still here. Jess
Speaker 1: is actually bad. She's run it.
Speaker 3: Yes, last night, in the middle of the night, Ash
Speaker 3: Marley comes in to the room.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, no sticker on the chart.
Speaker 3: No sticker on the chart, and she starts off. She
Speaker 3: prefaces the chat before she jumps into bed, and she goes, look, okay,
Speaker 3: I've had an accident. And I was like, what do
Speaker 3: you mean? And she goes, spilt my water bottle. She's
Speaker 3: found a loophole to the system. She's like, I've spilt
Speaker 3: my water bottle. Okay, So my bed is saturated right now.
Speaker 3: It's very damp up there. I'm unable to sleep in
Speaker 3: the bed due to the level of moisture that currently
Speaker 3: resides in the mattress, mold will start to generate. And
Speaker 3: I was like, damn it, she's got me. And I
Speaker 3: was like, all right, hop into bed then here and
Speaker 3: I was like, holy shit.
Speaker 1: She's like what. I'm like, you don't bring any pants
Speaker 1: and she.
Speaker 3: Goes yeah, yeah, yeah. She goes, don't worry about that
Speaker 3: to sleep, and I was like, why are you wearing
Speaker 3: any pants? And she goes, ah, yes, yes, the pants question.
Speaker 3: I knew this would come and she goes the water
Speaker 3: bottle spilt onto my pants and then onto the bed,
Speaker 3: which is why I removed the pants. Now I'm here,
Speaker 3: I wanted to go to sleep in your bed. Can
Speaker 3: we please put.
Speaker 1: This the rest.
Speaker 2: I could just picture her going just dousing herself with water.
Speaker 3: In the shower, and I was like, okay, that all
Speaker 3: adds up. Fair, excuse, yeah, I think so hop into bed,
Speaker 3: go to sleep, and we'll deal with this in the morning.
Speaker 1: Smart.
Speaker 3: And I did have a thought as she hopped into bed.
Speaker 3: I was like, legs are a bit sticky. Oh no,
Speaker 3: I was like, well, but you know, at the same time,
Speaker 3: I was very tired as I've been working.
Speaker 4: Oh, I was like Ellie at one okay, so I
Speaker 4: was you know, I was like half awake and I
Speaker 4: was like whatever, shore fight, hop into bed.
Speaker 3: And then I woke up, and I was like, I'm
Speaker 3: just gonna double check. Not that I don't trust Marley,
Speaker 3: I'm going to just double check that she you know,
Speaker 3: she did have an accident.
Speaker 1: She didn't lie to me in the middle of the
Speaker 1: night when I was most vulnerable, and so I feel
Speaker 1: her bed the bed is wet.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll give her that, and I pop my nose
Speaker 3: to the mattress and I go piss, it's yourn, it's yourn.
Speaker 1: Poor Lol is underneath that too.
Speaker 2: Okay, we started with loophole. Do you think she's done
Speaker 2: it on purpose?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: Wow, I believe she has voluntarily weired herself. That's diabolical
Speaker 3: as a loophole to a get into my bed and
Speaker 3: b still receive a sticker in the morning.
Speaker 1: She's very good, she's very clever.
Speaker 2: She's got ya. They're getting clever. And speaking of loophole's,
Speaker 2: Oscar has also found one too. He's figured out sick bay. Yes,
Speaker 2: he's figured out sick Bay, but also he's figured out
Speaker 2: how to convince them to skip calling me and call who.
Speaker 2: So first call mum. He's going to be first.
Speaker 1: I feel like April would. She'd crumble quickly.

Speaker 2: would be like, I want to go to sock training tonight.
Speaker 1: No, you're fucking not.
Speaker 3: One time, one time I didn't want to go to
Speaker 3: school and I hated sick base, so I knew that
Speaker 3: if I had to fake being sick, I had to
Speaker 3: be in the morning. And I got a cloth and
Speaker 3: I rubbed it on my forehead and I went to
Speaker 3: my mum and I was like, just feel how.
Speaker 1: Hot I am.
Speaker 3: She was like quite a temperature, and I was like, gotcha.
Speaker 1: Got her. Speaking of injuries and stuff like that, firstly,
Speaker 1: it just gave me a little memory of when I
Speaker 1: was in When.
Speaker 2: I was in year seven, I was playing touch football
Speaker 2: with the bigger kids and them fell on me, okay
Speaker 2: and have my head hit the ground between my legs.
Speaker 1: So quite like an over extension.
Speaker 2: You tried to suck yourself off in that moment, I
Speaker 2: could have got a quick leg.
Speaker 1: And then I did go home.
Speaker 2: Literally my dad had to pick me up because at
Speaker 2: that moment I was in pain.
Speaker 1: But what's the problem about.
Speaker 2: I used it to get more time off school, and
Speaker 2: I was fine because also it was the same year
Speaker 2: that Joey John's heard his neck playing footy and he
Speaker 2: was in the neck brains, and I thought that.
Speaker 1: Was pretty cool. So you had a neck brain.
Speaker 2: So I neck braced it for like a week to
Speaker 2: get a week off school. But I was completely fine.
Speaker 1: Hang on a second, your neck is moving fine today? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm back down. You were in a neck
Speaker 1: brace last week?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like a week and that was I
Speaker 2: was like ten days ago. Oh yeah, fine, that's my
Speaker 2: leg now. Somehow the pain moved for my neck right
Speaker 2: down to my leg. He's still thinking bon Jovi in
Speaker 2: the car?
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, what was I doing? I was singing Iris
Speaker 1: it's practicing. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Anyway, Also on injuries, I never thought having kids, I
Speaker 2: would get so injured. Remember I was back nearly like
Speaker 2: two years ago now when we started this, and I
Speaker 2: had a moment of pure anger when I was picking
Speaker 2: up toys and hit my head on a door knob on.
Speaker 1: The way back up. I think I did it twice
Speaker 1: in the same very.
Speaker 2: Frustrating and it's like I'm cleaning up after these fucks
Speaker 2: and I'm hurting myself. That's what I recall from that situation. Well,
Speaker 2: let me tell you right now, I've had another running
Speaker 2: with the door handle.
Speaker 1: What door handles is?
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you what exactly what happened. Okay,
Speaker 2: so when April goes to the toilet, it shuts the door.
Speaker 2: The kid's always going there, that's a mom thing. I
Speaker 2: like to lock the door.
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, If April's not locking the door, that's on
Speaker 3: her exactly. But she has a dig at me about
Speaker 3: if they're going to come in to see me, they should.
Speaker 1: Be allowed to go in and see you. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: we all got the bar here, lock it so we're
Speaker 1: up here together.
Speaker 3: But also like, fucking dad shits are a lot worse
Speaker 3: than mumshit's lies.
Speaker 1: Oh, they store them up and then they do one
Speaker 1: horrendous shit and Aeopl's like, where are the kids coming here?
Speaker 1: I drag them in.
Speaker 2: I don't mind dragging him in as a joke. It's funny,
Speaker 2: but I also like my privacy, like you know, as
Speaker 2: any person, as any man or woman would exactly right now,
Speaker 2: I am a stand and wiper. Yeah amen, yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: so few of us stand and wipe. And it just
Speaker 2: so happens that the door knob is at the exact
Speaker 2: height as my dick and balls. And guess who comes
Speaker 2: barging in while I'm wiping oscar oscar wicks at full velocity.
Speaker 2: A silver metal door handle has hit me directly in
Speaker 2: a combination of the head of my penis which is
Speaker 2: massive and sorry sorry, and my testicles with my shitty
Speaker 2: aarsehole and a handful of shitty toilet paper. Can I
Speaker 2: tell you right now I had I fell into the
Speaker 2: corn so it's a picture this.
Speaker 1: It's a separate toilet to the bathroom, so it's quite skinny.
Speaker 2: I've fallen into the crack between the toilet and the
Speaker 2: jip rock wall. Okay, saw nuts, saw penile head, now
Speaker 2: the toilet paper. I've tried to brace myself. I've fallen,
Speaker 2: put the shitty toilet paper up against the jip rock
Speaker 2: wall and slid down it like so, so I'm jammed
Speaker 2: between the toilet and the wall that has now ship
Speaker 2: on it.
Speaker 1: What's saying at this point? He was just like, what
Speaker 1: are you doing? What you need to be sick? You
Speaker 1: mean to be sick.
Speaker 2: I'm on the ground, stuck between the toilet with a
Speaker 2: sore set.
Speaker 1: Of n ads and a shitty asshole. God, what a sight.
Speaker 2: And I had to somehow backwards slither out of there.
Speaker 1: Did you call for help? Did April? No One wanted
Speaker 1: to help me. She's like, you're on your own hands.
Speaker 1: She's like, you in there. It's like, for God's sake,
Speaker 1: could this get any worse? It does? The roof is

Speaker 3: And we sit and we wait and can I be
Speaker 3: on like on the phone call as well? No, I
Speaker 3: don't do that's too much. I will film it in
Speaker 3: real time, send it over to you. I get you
Speaker 3: what you think I did?
Speaker 1: I did try. I try.

Speaker 3: to Bali.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Economy, yea economy, economy Yeah, yep.
Speaker 1: I'm going to Bali without the kids. Must be real.
Speaker 1: And she was like, no, I just I want to

Speaker 2: like it's a long way to go to kids.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Okay, hang on one question. While we're on
Speaker 1: the subject.
Speaker 2: We talked about seating arrangement for two parents two kids,
Speaker 2: what about seating arrangement for two kids one parent.
Speaker 1: I'm going to do a video on this.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm going to a video on this because I'm
Speaker 3: flying grud Air. Shout out to grout and Not sponsored.
Speaker 3: Their seating configuration very interesting. They have four in the
Speaker 3: middle and then the windows are two and two.
Speaker 2: You pretty much have to go the four otherwise one
Speaker 2: gets left alone unless you buy four seat?
Speaker 1: Do I? Could I go on?
Speaker 3: Could I go window next one across right and then
Speaker 3: do the aisle?
Speaker 1: So the middle row aisle? Is that a possibility? Is that?
Speaker 1: So I get the two kids by themselves, try and
Speaker 1: get a seat in front two Trying the row in
Speaker 1: front of the person behind you was like and then
Speaker 1: you just take your around and go. They didn't have
Speaker 1: anything that lined up, But.
Speaker 2: I'm just here about that one behind so you can
Speaker 2: see them, but they can't see you.
Speaker 1: So that was an idea. I'm yet to lock in
Speaker 1: the seating plant. You're going in like two days, don't you? Yeah? Brilliant, brilliant?

Speaker 3: Yeah, I've actually got I've got a parant myself.
Speaker 1: Oh, because I have one last week. I'm just gonna

Speaker 1: know I love daycares. Just be careful how you finished
Speaker 1: that sentence.
Speaker 3: You know I love daycare. I love day care staff.
Speaker 3: I think they work incredibly hard. You know that I've
Speaker 3: always been very vocal about my support for the daycare industry.
Speaker 1: Most of them. Yeah right right, those of you don't
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3: I have a roundabout. I'm reluctant to attack the daycares.
Speaker 3: Attack away. We attacked him months before. I want them
Speaker 3: just pick up my sword. So Lola has been She's
Speaker 3: been up up to like nine pm, and she loves
Speaker 3: to sleep. Lately, she's been great in that she has
Speaker 3: a story, goes to bed, falls asleep pretty quickly. But
Speaker 3: now she's up to like nine o'clock. I'm downstairs and
Speaker 3: I can hear her walking around upstairs. I'm like, what

Speaker 3: But now we're back in the cycle. So she's like
Speaker 3: staying up so late. So she's tired because she's she's

Speaker 3: the routine of napping during the day. They're going to
Speaker 3: try and break the cycle, which they're not. They're letting
Speaker 3: a nap.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. If you're listening, think of the.
Speaker 3: Parents, Think ill of us, poor parents, And I've started
Speaker 3: to do this thing at night when kids go to
Speaker 3: bed that I make them feel guilty about making any
Speaker 3: more noises after that?
Speaker 1: What do you mean?
Speaker 2: I'm like, this is mummy and Daddy's time now, Like
Speaker 2: you know how we give you everything you've ever wanted
Speaker 2: and all the time you need ever And.
Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, we love that, Like why don't you

Speaker 1: Some nights? Some nights I'm like do you I'm like, I'm.
Speaker 2: Like, do you know how sad I feel when I've
Speaker 2: got to come back in here to tell you off?
Speaker 1: Do you know how sad I am? What about me?
Speaker 2: And like sometimes it works, And then when they don't,
Speaker 2: I'm like, we spoke last week about yelling at your kids.
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, it's time to go to work.
Speaker 2: And like shut wax slam the door anyway. They hate
Speaker 2: the door being shut, So that's now my current threat.
Speaker 2: But I'm like, oh, shut this fucking door. You're like, anyway,
Speaker 2: that's my rant.
Speaker 1: Please.
Speaker 2: I have a rand from someone hither. This one is
Speaker 2: from Maddie, and Maddie says, no trolley bay near the
Speaker 2: parent parks getting a good park, but hiking the Nullah
Speaker 2: boarder return it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there's whoever's.
Speaker 2: Designing these car parks, and this is thing might flow
Speaker 2: onto a little.
Speaker 1: Ran I have really quickly. Okay.
Speaker 2: On top of that, whoever's designing these car parks, I
Speaker 2: think it should go disabled parking, parent parking with a
Speaker 2: trolley bay.
Speaker 1: In between them.
Speaker 2: Okay, so it's equal because we just say this, right,
Speaker 2: you've got.
Speaker 1: One kid, there's one of you. You put that kid and.
Speaker 2: They say don't leave your kids alone in the car,
Speaker 2: and then you've got to walk to drop the length
Speaker 2: of the a nuther boar.
Speaker 1: Yes, thank you Maddie for that.
Speaker 2: To put a trolley bag. It's dangerous, it's disgusting. That's
Speaker 2: a lot can happen in that thirty seconds. A child
Speaker 2: could go missing. Not to scare anyone out there, but
Speaker 2: that's the reality. It's the reality, okay, it's the life
Speaker 2: we live, especially in dangerous areas where does may live
Speaker 2: and the dangerous area could take your baby.
Speaker 1: Very true, thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 2: But also I've got a ramp with car parks in general, okay,
Speaker 2: And it's not the people who've designed it, it's the.
Speaker 1: People in it.
Speaker 2: People think you pull into a car park, rules don't
Speaker 2: apply anymore.
Speaker 1: What rules are you talking about?
Speaker 2: Rules, pedestrian rules, anything like that. Okay, this is what
Speaker 2: annoys me the fucking most. There's two things that annoy
Speaker 2: me the most. The first one is when someone tries
Speaker 2: to cross the street in a car park across the
Speaker 2: where you're driving. Okay, there's a crossing to cross, but
Speaker 2: they crossed like ten meters due south of it.
Speaker 1: Walk up and use the crossing.
Speaker 2: People think that that's like, I'm just gonna walk, not
Speaker 2: even look. Yesterday I had Mum in the car right
Speaker 2: and I went to reverse out of a car park.
Speaker 2: Reverse lights are on, they are blaring, they are fucking bright,
Speaker 2: and some old bloke not old, I'm saying like fifty yeah,
Speaker 2: didn't even stop to be like, oh is he reversing?
Speaker 1: Didn't even stop.
Speaker 2: He just walked from across first of all, walked in
Speaker 2: front of a car that was driving directly towards my
Speaker 2: rear camera.
Speaker 1: Death wish. And it's like, bro, the arrogance rules apply.
Speaker 2: If I hit you, I'm in trouble, right, but doesn't
Speaker 2: mean you just start walking out like.
Speaker 1: Infuriating. Also, when someone goes up the wrong way. Guilty
Speaker 1: car park design.
Speaker 2: Right, there's obviously someone who's logistically designed this so that
Speaker 2: the flow of the traffic goes in one way, but
Speaker 2: then there's some entitled jerk that wants to go the
Speaker 2: wrong way and fuck everyone's day up.
Speaker 1: I feel so much better.
Speaker 3: I didn't realize you were such a stickler for the
Speaker 3: rules and car parks.
Speaker 1: Well, I just thought you just you're a man who is.
Speaker 3: Very fluid, and all of a sudden, once you get
Speaker 3: the car park, you let the car park Nazi.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I don't know what's coming this way all
Speaker 2: across the roll.
Speaker 1: I don't know what accent that is. Just the blatant disregard.
Speaker 1: That's what I don't like.
Speaker 2: I think, if you're in a car park as a
Speaker 2: pedestrian and a driver, yeah, you still have to follow
Speaker 2: the rules. Did the first time you're about to get
Speaker 2: run over? But you know what I mean, like the
Speaker 2: pedestrian crosses right there.
Speaker 3: Just anyway, this one ash is one that I haven't
Speaker 3: come across too frequently. In fact, I would say it's
Speaker 3: the only time I've seen this pear rant.
Speaker 1: It's a niche. I like niche. It's a niche rant
Speaker 1: was it as niche as the car pike one.
Speaker 3: We get a lot of car I would say ninety
Speaker 3: percent of rants from parents about car parks.
Speaker 2: I reckon they need like a lollipop lady in a
Speaker 2: car in every.
Speaker 3: Shop attendant, a full time attendant, not to like, but
Speaker 3: to usher people through and be like if there's someone
Speaker 3: like struggling across the street and they're like, okay, it's
Speaker 3: just stop for sect something like that. Do lollipop ladies
Speaker 3: or the people who did the crossings at school do
Speaker 3: they get paid? Yes, they do by who counsel?
Speaker 2: Do they?
Speaker 3: How much you get paid, well, a little bit. You
Speaker 3: can look that up on Fair Work. There's an award
Speaker 3: for that too hard, depending on your years, depending on
Speaker 3: your hour.
Speaker 1: But next election, throw that car park attendees. Do you
Speaker 1: know what?
Speaker 2: It's generating jobs, help the economy, reducing the unemployment rate.
Speaker 3: And this one is from Frankie Hall Photography. Also do
Speaker 3: want to mention Frankie Hall had to look at their
Speaker 3: Instagram account, very beautiful photos of kids and families, but
Speaker 3: she says, I feel like you would sympathize with this situation.
Speaker 3: No hot chooks in the bain Marie at Cole's at
Speaker 3: five pm.
Speaker 1: That's pete chicken time. What are they doing? So this
Speaker 1: is what they should do.
Speaker 2: Okay, supermarkets, if you're listening, I'm just solving all the
Speaker 2: world froms today.
Speaker 1: Make them for chip pro chicken times, don't.
Speaker 2: I don't want to walk into a Woollies at seven
Speaker 2: am and there's a fucking hot chook.
Speaker 1: I want to walk in at eleven am and there's
Speaker 1: a hot chook. I've never experienced that myself.
Speaker 3: There's always been a steady flow of chicks available.
Speaker 2: Depends of the need of the protein for the suburb,
Speaker 2: I guess. But yeah, I would fully agree, because there's
Speaker 2: been times where it's like, fuck, I'm running late. My
Speaker 2: days just got away from me. April me to organize
Speaker 2: dinner today, and it's like, oh, I'm at the shops.
Speaker 2: I'm just going to nip in and get a hot chook,
Speaker 2: hot chook dinner for dinner at a reasonable time to
Speaker 2: pick one up for dinner. And it's like, we don't
Speaker 2: have any hot chooks. We sold them all for breakfast. Bullshit.
Speaker 3: Fuck. Imagine imagine you in the car park experiencing that
Speaker 3: dilemma that Malakey going going going into cools, no chick,
Speaker 3: no chick, no chicken, and then going back to the
Speaker 3: car park far out. Geez, Heaven forbid your poor family.
Speaker 2: Anyway, your round, I reckon that would be the worst
Speaker 2: day of my life.
Speaker 1: And there's been some bad days. You've had a few,
Speaker 1: We've had a few bad days.
Speaker 2: Okay, my last one for this segment today, and I'm
Speaker 2: going to leave this is a little bit up to
Speaker 2: interpretation for both of us because Kay, if that's your
Speaker 2: real name, has written in and said three words very
Speaker 2: simply fucking car seats.
Speaker 3: Yeah, annoying, the older the clip, the clippers, the clips.
Speaker 2: So there's a multitude of clips when it comes to
Speaker 2: car seats.
Speaker 1: There's the ISO fixed clips. What the fuck is that?
Speaker 3: So, you know, is the way it fits into the Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's hard to put in easy job.
Speaker 2: Yeah. There's also yes, the clips where that it's tightened
Speaker 2: to keep your child safe. And I would say that
Speaker 2: putting a car seat into a vehicle is would be
Speaker 2: up there with one of the most outraged I get
Speaker 2: when something goes wrong.
Speaker 1: So it's like normal day to day task.
Speaker 2: If I stub my toast slightly, or bump something slightly,
Speaker 2: or do something wrong.
Speaker 1: Slow, it's going wrong with your car seat.
Speaker 2: It's not that, I think, it's more like it's just
Speaker 2: can be fiddly sometimes.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And also then the kids are always like it's too yeah,
Speaker 3: and listen. I'm like the seatbelt, it's meant.
Speaker 1: To be tired.
Speaker 2: I was putting the car seat into this loan car
Speaker 2: that I have right now, right and I was like,
Speaker 2: you can't.
Speaker 1: It's not new, it's not mine. I'm just borrowing it.
Speaker 1: Money bags over here, So I'm just borrowing it. How
Speaker 1: does that make me money bag?
Speaker 2: I would like to borrow some money that I don't
Speaker 2: have to pay bag, that'd be great gone.
Speaker 1: And I was just, you know, I was in no rush.
Speaker 2: I was just putting it in casually because I know
Speaker 2: that if you do it in a rush, things go wrong.
Speaker 2: I've fucking turned around and bumped my head on the
Speaker 2: grip that you hold on to as a passenger, and
Speaker 2: I fucking saw laying into the car, and I was
Speaker 2: like punching the shit out of it.
Speaker 1: People are like, oh God, should I step in and
Speaker 1: stuff that?
Speaker 2: Dad? And then I've gone to pull the seat belt
Speaker 2: tightened and slipped a bammed funny bone into the corner
Speaker 2: of the door.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm going to return that loan car.
Speaker 1: And they were like, is this car been in an accident?
Speaker 2: Ship out of the car. But it's like the most
Speaker 2: smallest thing. They're just infuriating devices, if you ask me, so,
Speaker 2: that's what I think K means.
Speaker 3: And if you have any pair rants parents, pair rents, sorry,
Speaker 3: pair rand, pair rant, send it to us. Get it
Speaker 3: off your chest, make sure it doesn't stay in and
Speaker 3: you get all I feel frustrated, and you know, at
Speaker 3: an in opportune moment, it all comes out. Let it
Speaker 3: come out to us. We'll clean up the mess.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel so much better. Actually, you look more relaxed.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Ash. A couple of questions before we go
Speaker 1: fire away, Ash.
Speaker 3: Yes, this is a question that was submitted on the
Speaker 3: Facebook group. They would like to know, what are any
Speaker 3: traditions that you have created with your kids besides yelling
Speaker 3: at them every night?
Speaker 1: Oh damn kids, you know what time it is.
Speaker 3: They're beautiful traditions that they'll remember as core memories for
Speaker 3: the rest of their lives.
Speaker 1: Gotcha, got one? Have you ever heard of these things
Speaker 1: called fighter gummies?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: What are they? Like? Little multividam and in gummy form
Speaker 1: it look like a lolli.
Speaker 2: So the tradition is every day obviously it's a vita gummy.
Speaker 1: Not just feed my kid's lollies.
Speaker 2: If they're ready, like if they're dressed themselves, get ready
Speaker 2: to go on time in the mornings, then they get
Speaker 2: what we call a lolli.
Speaker 1: Ah, it's medicine.
Speaker 3: It's medicineidamin's suckers, idiots, and they don't know that. They
Speaker 3: just think it's a low thing. I've got a lovely
Speaker 3: bag of lollies. When do you think you'll tell them
Speaker 3: the truth when they move out. We haven't got any
Speaker 3: traditions really like nothing that I'm like, that's a beautiful memory.
Speaker 1: I don't know if mine's a beautiful memory. No, I
Speaker 1: love it.
Speaker 3: Yours is manipulative, thank you. That's my whole deal. I'm
Speaker 3: a manipulative parent.
Speaker 1: It's the kind of parenting that I want to hear about. Good.
Speaker 3: No, we haven't got anything like fuck other than yo
Speaker 3: on a Friday.
Speaker 1: That's that's something, is that you do it together. We
Speaker 1: used to have we on a Friday. It was called
Speaker 1: the little Shop.
Speaker 3: A little shop is a little convenience store down the
Speaker 3: road for my school, and I remember it's weird, like
Speaker 3: core memory, going in every Friday to go in.
Speaker 1: I think back then we had fifty pants old buy
Speaker 1: Alfle store. How much I got to go with this
Speaker 1: as a kid, but we got to pick what we
Speaker 1: wanted the little treats. Yeah, I just trying to think
Speaker 1: for me as a kid, we didn't really have anything,
Speaker 1: just the regular beatings. But my parents never hit me.
Speaker 3: Okay, if you're a parent out there right now and
Speaker 3: you have a great tradition, something that you do with
Speaker 3: your kids more than just like you know, obviously I
Speaker 3: read to the kids every night before they go to bed.
Speaker 1: People do that.
Speaker 3: But if there is a tradition that you have that
Speaker 3: you think is a nice touch other parents can implement.
Speaker 3: Do you actually do you know what I used to
Speaker 3: I've got it from doctor Phil. Of all people, I
Speaker 3: would say, not every night. Tradition is very important to
Speaker 3: be consistent. But I would do it like would pepper
Speaker 3: it in. But I would say to each girl individually,
Speaker 3: I would say, that's all.
Speaker 1: We have time for.
Speaker 3: I would say, of all the girls in all the world,
Speaker 3: how do you think it ended up that I got
Speaker 3: the best one?
Speaker 1: Oh? Very good giving them a complex. Early. That's April
Speaker 1: said to Oscar. She's like, you're the most handsome boy
Speaker 1: in the world. I'm like, don't give this boy a complex.
Speaker 1: She's like, what do you mean?
Speaker 2: And I was like, let me tell you a story,
Speaker 2: young lady. Go on, we go to the archives here.
Speaker 2: We used to have a girl.
Speaker 1: At our school in primary school.
Speaker 2: I recall this that she got her mum used to
Speaker 2: tell her that she was the most beautiful girl in
Speaker 2: the world and she believed it, which is fine.
Speaker 1: Belief is fine. But then she started to tell.
Speaker 2: People at school that no, no, no, no, I'm the most
Speaker 2: beautiful person in the world.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you want to say like you're the bravest
Speaker 3: or you're the funniest store.
Speaker 1: Yeh yeah. And then I.
Speaker 2: Said, do you know that my mummy tells me that too,
Speaker 2: And she was heartbroken.
Speaker 1: Did you mean to kick off or were you just like,
Speaker 1: oh no.
Speaker 2: I caught eye that was having a dig and I
Speaker 2: remember she was heart I got in a lot of trouble. Actually,
Speaker 2: I got into tuble for bullying. Dare I tell the
Speaker 2: truth and get called bullying? I remember it broke her heart.
Speaker 2: So I said to Apel, look, you're allowed to say
Speaker 2: to your kid that you're the most handsome boy in
Speaker 2: all the world. To me, you're my most handsomeboy. Something
Speaker 2: like that. Very particular because I imagine him being going
Speaker 2: to his friends at school, I'm the most handsome boy,
Speaker 2: and then.
Speaker 1: I had to break it to you. Yeah, but I'm
Speaker 1: the fucking hottest here. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure every mum tells him that. Heartbreak. I'll
Speaker 2: tell you just a quick tradition we did have for
Speaker 2: a while there.
Speaker 1: It was like a funny.
Speaker 2: One before the kids would get into the shower, we
Speaker 2: do a neody rudy and let the kids want to
Speaker 2: run up the hallway naked and then run back and
Speaker 2: the shower. And they thought it was fucking so funny.
Speaker 2: You're an exhibitionist.
Speaker 1: We don't have any.
Speaker 2: Clothes in our house. All the roofers are like welcome back,
Speaker 2: by welcome back. I have a question for you, please. Now,
Speaker 2: we've been doing a lot of top threes.
Speaker 1: I love them. I love a top three. Why my
Speaker 1: question to you.
Speaker 2: Is, what is the top three worst things you can
Speaker 2: say to a parent? Oh, let's start with your number three.
Speaker 1: Okay, number three.
Speaker 3: I have asked this question before and probably not needed
Speaker 3: to say this vocally because people will just realize that
Speaker 3: it's not a great question, not a great statement to
Speaker 3: make to any parents. But I think I now know,
Speaker 3: I now know that you should not ask can you
Speaker 3: get on with it?
Speaker 1: What position did you conceive it? Well, I did not
Speaker 1: expect that. Tell me standard missionary sides addle go on, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was your number three.
Speaker 2: My number three is starting any sentence with Look, I
Speaker 2: don't want to tell you how to parent.
Speaker 1: Ah trigged You're like, well, then don't you fuck me?
Speaker 1: Two for you? I don't know if maybe this is
Speaker 1: just me being sensitive you mean sensitive? No, go on?
Speaker 3: I know, right, But I don't like it when people
Speaker 3: would look at particularly Lola, and then they look at
Speaker 3: me and they go, gosh, she looks nothing like you.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, sure, DNA didn't get a look into it.
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to really have a distab
Speaker 1: at something I said once, which was like she's got
Speaker 1: a big head. It was just as bad.
Speaker 3: I think you should you know as well. And to
Speaker 3: top that would be saying, gosh, it looks like neither one.
Speaker 1: Of you adopted will We.
Speaker 2: Had that rant that it was like a redhead, and
Speaker 2: neither of their kids were rare. Sounds like the Milkman's
Speaker 2: got some explaining. Don't say it, don't say it? No too,
Speaker 2: What have you got for me? I've got this sentence
Speaker 2: that you say to your parents, Wow, your kid's got
Speaker 2: a lot of energy. Do they always act like that?
Speaker 2: That's the nicest way to say your kids are fucking shitthead.
Speaker 1: Yeah, here we go. This is your number one? Is
Speaker 1: it number one? Go on?
Speaker 3: And I have copt this a few times and and
Speaker 3: like to anyone out there who has said this.
Speaker 1: Shame on you, shame.
Speaker 3: But number one thing you should not say to any
Speaker 3: parent is gosh, you look tired.
Speaker 2: Oh man, I knew you were going to say something
Speaker 2: like that. Why I left it out of my But
Speaker 2: that is bad. That is like the biggest kick. You
Speaker 2: might as well say you look like shit. Just lie
Speaker 2: and say you look great. You're glowing bags on your
Speaker 2: eyes really yeah?
Speaker 3: And that that stains on your shirt really make your
Speaker 3: eyes pop like that shiit sandwich?
Speaker 1: These kids?
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, mine is similar. It's a cheeky jab,
Speaker 2: I do. Yeah, sentences that are a cheeky jab. So
Speaker 2: read it out to you. Okay, So someone says to you, oh,
Speaker 2: we did sleep train and it totally worked for us.
Speaker 1: What am I doing wrong?
Speaker 2: So we've you know what I mean Like it's like
Speaker 2: a bit of a backhander.
Speaker 1: Don't yeah, don't try and one up another parent.
Speaker 2: I think anything backhanded to a parent your borderline.
Speaker 3: You should be locked up for it. I'm almost tempted,
Speaker 3: almost tempted.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: Now look back when Marley are first was a great sleeper,
Speaker 3: and there were times and I would be proud of
Speaker 3: the fact that she's a great sleeper. That's so bad
Speaker 3: just say your child sucks at sleeping.
Speaker 2: So we have a mother's group, okay, but we have
Speaker 2: edged some of these parents out because they just don't
Speaker 2: forget them old did you say edge? They did, And
