Speaker 1: I was like, do we have some beers at what
Speaker 1: eleven am?
Speaker 2: But I've also got some heaps normal as well. But
Speaker 2: then I also thought, yeah, I was like.
Speaker 1: You see that video of the guy who's like, non
Speaker 1: alcoholic beer is like having sex with your sister, you know,
Speaker 1: like it's does a job, but it's not quite the same.
Speaker 1: I don't know the exact but I was like, fuck it.
Speaker 1: I went viral. Actually, I'm surprised you didn't get canceled
Speaker 1: because it was pretty grass.
Speaker 2: Hello. I am Maddie J And I'm Ash and you're
Speaker 2: currently listening to two Doting Dads, a podcast where we'll
Speaker 2: talk about parenting, the good, the bad, the relatable, every
Speaker 2: little stuff up that we make, which there are plenty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you've come for some sound advice, this
Speaker 1: is not the place.
Speaker 2: Oh you'd like, stop right now, stop, turn it off,
Speaker 2: head to mamma Mia. Yeah, listen to one of those podcasts.
Speaker 1: This is not educational whatsoever.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no no. But if you're coming
Speaker 2: to feel like there's others out there who were sharing
Speaker 2: your pain as a parent.
Speaker 1: Welcome big embrace from both of us, because, like I
Speaker 1: think we wanted to get together and have a chat
Speaker 1: when we both had a chance, and as you can see,
Speaker 1: we're sitting at a kitchen table with laundry on it.
Speaker 1: Matt has kindly cleaned up the house.
Speaker 2: As you can see, the house was fucking messy, and
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Normally, don't you dare apologize.
Speaker 2: I love it when we have guests over. Laura is
Speaker 2: very pedantic about wanting to keep it clean. And even
Speaker 2: if I shoot any video and the place is messy,
Speaker 2: Laura is like, oh my.
Speaker 1: God, like no, it's actually I've noticed that with your
Speaker 1: and Laura's content. It's a online you as joke about
Speaker 1: I love how you didn't clean up because aprils are saying, okay,
Speaker 1: if I film anything in the house, She's like, you
Speaker 1: can't post that. Why are the fucking not just.
Speaker 2: People love it? People love it. I had a lady
Speaker 2: message me, and this was off the back of I
Speaker 2: thought a video where the place was kind of clean,
Speaker 2: and she messaged me and said, I just I love
Speaker 2: it so much that you just film your palse when
Speaker 2: it's such a mess.
Speaker 1: I was like, bitches is clean.
Speaker 2: Literally, but yeah, we are currently in the kitchen slash
Speaker 2: dining kitchen.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Sorry, sorry not to talk it down alongside my washing,
Speaker 2: which is clean folded.
Speaker 1: Who folded that? Not you?
Speaker 2: No, that'll sit there for at least another.
Speaker 1: Week in white underpants. You are game? Well, these ones
Speaker 1: you are game, man mate? What's wrong with that? I
Speaker 1: just mean, like, there's no where to hide those any
Speaker 1: skids on that whatsoever? I always rock black. Black is
Speaker 1: the smart option. There, you go so much more, you
Speaker 1: can hide so much more.
Speaker 2: Do you normally have skid marks?
Speaker 1: And I let them real? I'm dad of two now,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what I'm doing. And yeah, look I
Speaker 1: don't know, actually I don't know if I have.
Speaker 2: Skids because you were you were in the black.
Speaker 1: That's ballsy.
Speaker 2: You may be wondering how Ash and I got together,
Speaker 2: and it's a very beautiful story. I think it dates
Speaker 2: back to November.
Speaker 1: November, Yeah, last year.
Speaker 2: I was following you for a while on TikTok, and
Speaker 2: like all good modern love stories, it started with a
Speaker 2: like here and there.
Speaker 1: Progressed to teasing each other. For sure.
Speaker 2: I think I followed you first on TikTok.
Speaker 1: I think so, and that was right. I remember because
Speaker 1: my wife was like, I was like, oh this Manny
Speaker 1: j gott to follow me back. You have to follow
Speaker 1: me back. You've got to do it. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: that you're very serious about.
Speaker 2: So the follow came from April, your wife originally pushing
Speaker 2: you into but.
Speaker 1: It was more like do you know this guy right?
Speaker 1: And like obviously we know you from the Bachelor beg
Speaker 1: you yeah. I mean you're Austray's favorite couple.
Speaker 2: I mean I didn't want to say it, but I speak.
Speaker 1: On behalf of all of Australia. We love that you're together.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: So I followed you back obviously because she was like,
Speaker 1: the content's very similar both dads. I mean, our kids
Speaker 1: are like a weak apart in age, so going through
Speaker 1: the same things very relatable.
Speaker 2: I went back into my my saved videos sometimes if
Speaker 2: I see something that's really clever and funny.
Speaker 1: And it's me and me.
Speaker 2: I had three videos from you back in the day,
Speaker 2: and I don't remember how we do you know which
Speaker 2: one which videos they were? I have to dig them out,
Speaker 2: but I think I'll go through afterwards.
Speaker 1: Definitely, I'm key because it's like I'd like to remake them.
Speaker 1: Running out of things. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think you hit me up first. I think you
Speaker 2: slipped into my DMS.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I said, I think I said we should do
Speaker 1: some content. And I think, like as all creators do,
Speaker 1: which want to try and collab together and do different things.
Speaker 1: So I think that was the original shoot my shot yeah,
Speaker 1: and got me, got ya.
Speaker 2: And also like people did really enjoy the videos. Ash
Speaker 2: has been wanting to do a podcast for a little while.
Speaker 2: He'd been courting me, flirting with me, teasing you, massaging
Speaker 2: in the idea.
Speaker 1: You're really hard to get on board. Originally I pushed back,
Speaker 1: you pushed back. But once I got you at a
Speaker 1: vulnerable state and I teased you about something else I
Speaker 1: was working on, mate, the flood gates opened. Can't stop
Speaker 1: you now, I know, I know.
Speaker 2: And you were like, Daddy wants a.
Speaker 1: Podcast, and I was like, I'll do it.
Speaker 2: So here we are.
Speaker 1: What I call it a podcast, I call it a conversation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is like I mean, this is Laura's staff. So
Speaker 1: thank you Laura for allowing us to well, thanks for
Speaker 1: leaving it behind, and here we are.
Speaker 2: Do we know what we're doing? Not really?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Will there be an episode two? Who knows? Maybe in
Speaker 2: a month's time, maybe six months, maybe next week.
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll see We're not quite sure that we could
Speaker 1: run out of stories today. Yeah, this is like at
Speaker 1: the end of we could hate each other by the
Speaker 1: end of it.
Speaker 2: We're still in the honeymoon Phaseah.
Speaker 1: For sure. I think it's still really exciting as our
Speaker 1: wife's like to think it's cute.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I said to Laura this morning. I was like,
Speaker 2: oh ya, I'm going to do that podcast with Ash
Speaker 2: and she was just like, ah, cute guys, and we
Speaker 2: are friends. We have had a couple of like little mandates.
Speaker 2: We went to a movie together.
Speaker 1: We didn't go to a movie, and you know, I
Speaker 1: like to think.
Speaker 2: Two blokes go to the movies, get away from the kids.
Speaker 2: And when your wife's like, oh my god, you are
Speaker 2: going to do next?
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's the next episode? A.
Speaker 2: Did you go for a drink afterwards?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: I did go for a drink after.
Speaker 1: Ah your old hands?
Speaker 2: Did you suck him off? Yes? Of course I didn't.
Speaker 1: Seen my knees, April was saying. April was like, I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, you know, friend, you're gonna hang out
Speaker 1: with your friends, like you got a new friend. I'll
Speaker 1: be like, wouldn't say a fucking word. But for some reason,
Speaker 1: I'm the whole talk of your town.
Speaker 2: But it's hard. I'm in my mid thirties soon to
Speaker 2: be thirty six, hard to find new friends.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it is hard to find new friends.
Speaker 1: Usually you're trying to get rid of friends at this stage,
Speaker 1: or friends are trying to get rid of you, unless
Speaker 1: they've got kids as well, where they want to hang
Speaker 1: out just so that they're not parenting alone.
Speaker 2: It's shared pain, shared pain.
Speaker 1: Like good example is my wife went out, she went
Speaker 1: out on Saturday for a boozy lunch. Classic another April,
Speaker 1: another line.
Speaker 2: What does she drink when she is.
Speaker 1: She gets a combination of rose like a wine? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think, like I can't remember the name of that.
Speaker 1: I'm not good with wine. That's white pinot green grees.
Speaker 1: That's the one you look like. You love a good
Speaker 1: Pinot green sometimes. So like the initial thought from every
Speaker 1: like in the same situation is like, what pub we're
Speaker 1: gonna do with the kids? Is there a playground there?
Speaker 1: We actually got to the background the playgram shut because
Speaker 1: it was a wasp nest in there. Oh fuck, And
Speaker 1: then they wouldn't let us. It's like we're fully grown
Speaker 1: men and we're also like if the wasp stings. Someone
Speaker 1: doesn't know what die, So we'll just send all the
Speaker 1: kids in there.
Speaker 2: I think that's bees.
Speaker 1: They could take a stinging each sacrifice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, may see, sorry about that.
Speaker 1: Straight in their eighteen month year old walking. It just
Speaker 1: drug like you're saying it's hard to find your friends,
Speaker 1: but also just want to get rid of the ones
Speaker 1: we've got.
Speaker 2: Just very lucky right now. Absolutely, I consider myself one
Speaker 2: of the lucky ones, as do I. I don't know
Speaker 2: if you saw on social media, Ash, I've just returned
Speaker 2: from a holiday again. As you know, I hate holidays.
Speaker 1: You hate them, but you seem to be going on
Speaker 1: a lot of them.
Speaker 2: I've had a good run.
Speaker 1: Let's not forget it is only April.
Speaker 2: Well we've had I'm coming off the back of a
Speaker 2: two year lockdown and now I'm making up for lost
Speaker 2: time with them. But I appreciate I have had a few.
Speaker 2: I'm very fortunate this holiday was going up to Rockhampton.
Speaker 2: My little brother as a teacher up there. For so
Speaker 2: long as a family, we've spoken about going and pay
Speaker 2: them a little visit.
Speaker 1: Out of the trips you've done this year, where does
Speaker 1: rock Canders sit in terms of our place might be
Speaker 1: too early to ask that question.
Speaker 2: I wasn't super keen on rock Hampton only because to
Speaker 2: get there. I mean, I was keen to see my
Speaker 2: brother obviously, but to get to rock Hampton, it's just
Speaker 2: it was a bit of a ball Like traveling with
Speaker 2: kids is a little bit tricky, and to get to
Speaker 2: Rocky from Sydney you go get two flights, fly to Brisbane,
Speaker 2: transferred to another flight. And obviously I'll caveat this and
Speaker 2: say that very lucky to take a holiday, so I'm
Speaker 2: not trying to be the victim here. However, however, ty
Speaker 2: turn around hour between when you get off the plane
Speaker 2: and on the next plane.
Speaker 1: Who booked the flights?
Speaker 2: I booked the flights, and when I checked in, I
Speaker 2: didn't say, oh, can the bags go straight through to
Speaker 2: rock Hampton? And it was only after they'd left the
Speaker 2: belt that I was like, Hey, do these go to
Speaker 2: straight through the Rocky? And she was like, oh shit, no,
Speaker 2: you've got to You'll have to collect them in Brisbane
Speaker 2: and then recheck in. And then like Laura and I
Speaker 2: were doing like the tactic talk.
Speaker 1: Of like like you've got yeah, that's the thing, you've
Speaker 1: got kids too, So it's not like Oh, that's easy.
Speaker 1: You can run and get out of.
Speaker 2: It's like, well, fucker who takes Marley? Who takes Lala?
Speaker 2: You know the pram as well, the fold up pram,
Speaker 2: which is just that's a delaying one, Like do.
Speaker 1: We ditch the pram?
Speaker 2: Do we lose Marley?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Kick the pram, lose Maley? But I decided I would
Speaker 2: run off first, get the luggage, recheck it in.
Speaker 1: From you and Laura? Who do you think is actually
Speaker 1: the fastest runner?
Speaker 2: Though?
Speaker 1: Oh? I mean's I'm like you're much faster?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Laura is quite good.
Speaker 1: She's quite tall though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's got a good stride on her.
Speaker 1: I can imagine it'd be like a gazelle.
Speaker 2: Laura's downside is that longer distance is pathetic. She's good
Speaker 2: at like thee hundred meters, but beyond that, that's when
Speaker 2: I come into my own So I'm that guy like
Speaker 2: running through the airport. These are like good, out of
Speaker 2: the way, get the luggage, recheck it in. Got to
Speaker 2: run back to the gate, which was like fucking the
Speaker 2: other end of the airport. We get there, they announced
Speaker 2: the planes being canceled. Flight gone. There was Fog who
Speaker 2: was the airline Quantus as well, which is a safe bet.
Speaker 1: You let them off this time. Yeah, yeah, Look, if
Speaker 1: it's just that we're protesting on the.
Speaker 3: Streets, but Quantas, you're like, eh, every now and then,
Speaker 3: it's a one off. Yeah, it never happens, like not
Speaker 3: for me. I mean, I've never been to Rocky, so
Speaker 3: I just nicknamed rock ham You're just Rocky.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but six hour wait for the next flight. Not
Speaker 2: many flights going out to Rockhampton.
Speaker 1: Any kids. I mean, Lola must still now, so that was.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, it was right, like Lola. It was roughly
Speaker 2: ten o'clock at that point, morning in the morning. So then,
Speaker 2: like I guess it wasn't too bad because the PRAM
Speaker 2: still kept the PRAM. But you know when they announce
Speaker 2: a cancelation and then everyone's like running to the desk
Speaker 2: to be like, got together the next flight. What's happening here?
Speaker 1: Do you know who I am? I was like, hey,
Speaker 1: I've got you see me on today weekends. I've got
Speaker 1: two people's weather relies on this.
Speaker 2: I don't think she knew who I was. I didn't
Speaker 2: throw my weight around. I did say like it's a
Speaker 2: very distant.
Speaker 1: Point I do and people I don't know who the
Speaker 1: fuck you are. And that's great.
Speaker 2: She gave me a fifteen dollar voucher each for the
Speaker 2: adults and the kids. Oh tappy with us six.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not in an airport. If you're outside of the airport,
Speaker 1: that's great.
Speaker 2: Literally went like I got like a civlaki. Six hours
Speaker 2: are gone by the airport. We get on the flight,
Speaker 2: We get to Rocky, We drive to Yupoon, which is
Speaker 2: like almost an hour away. Small problem. We lost the luggage.
Speaker 1: We lost the leg Yeah no, no, quantus quantus lost the luggage.
Speaker 2: Like the luggage.
Speaker 1: We gave him a pardon on the cancer. This is inexcusable.
Speaker 2: I was filthy.
Speaker 1: If it's just you as a solo traveler, you like it.
Speaker 1: I want some new clothes.
Speaker 2: I've got two children, I've got I got nothing, I've
Speaker 2: got no bottles. Oh my god, the panic, the stress,
Speaker 2: and all I wanted was an apology. But it was
Speaker 2: a young guy. If if the person behind the counter
Speaker 2: had kids, they would have sympathized. But it was a
Speaker 2: young kid. It was just like, no idea. Fuck, dude,
Speaker 2: it's a bad I doesn't realize how.
Speaker 1: Much pain you're actually in right now. You've just spent
Speaker 1: all day traveling somewhat you've got. So what did you
Speaker 1: do in the airport for six hours with two kids
Speaker 1: under four?
Speaker 2: Did about five and a half hours of iPads?
Speaker 1: That's nothing in my house, scratching the surface. iPad is
Speaker 1: the best parent.
Speaker 2: Oh it's well, the app that helps Miley to learn YouTube, well,
Speaker 2: she's got this. It's pretty much reading to her. It's
Speaker 2: a better parent than I am.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah, well look, don't discount yourself like that.
Speaker 1: But also you can't beat the iPad as a parent
Speaker 1: any dad. I'll tell you if a dad restricts any
Speaker 1: iPad usage, that's not him restricting it. That's mum.
Speaker 2: It's bad because it's so bloody good. It keeps him
Speaker 2: so occupied. But also once they get a good taste
Speaker 2: of like a heavy stint, like after that five and
Speaker 2: a half hour window of iPad time. After that, the
Speaker 2: kids were just like conditioned for iPads. So like, you know,
Speaker 2: beautiful upoun the beach is great, lovely weather. Yea, literally,
Speaker 2: and I've got like a stand up paddle board for mar.
Speaker 1: I think you could just put the screensaver as and
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, look the same thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we hit the iPads, which is a shame.
Speaker 1: That one each I can see them. That's not yours
Speaker 1: and Laura iPad up there.
Speaker 2: No, I know.
Speaker 1: It's got the feet to anyone, like I think it's
Speaker 1: got two arms and the feet stands up right. People
Speaker 1: know exactly what that. It's a great event. Our iPad
Speaker 1: doesn't have that, so it gets dropped a lot.
Speaker 2: How do you manage then the screen not being smashed
Speaker 2: into pieces?
Speaker 1: It is smashed into We'd prefer to use the phone
Speaker 1: because I don't want to carry that. It's a you
Speaker 1: have to check that in.
Speaker 2: I bring that in the backpack, but then like to
Speaker 2: take security, oh to punish it's rubber two sticks on everything.
Speaker 2: I pulled it out. And then fucking having.
Speaker 1: A rubber case on your phone and trying to get
Speaker 1: it out of your pocket.
Speaker 2: It's grim. It's grim. I was always one person who
Speaker 2: would say, I'm not going to have too much screen
Speaker 2: time for the kids.
Speaker 1: But everyone always says that. Oh, everyone always.
Speaker 2: The kids now can't eat a meal without having some
Speaker 2: kind of scream playing in the background.
Speaker 1: It's the generation we live in, right, So like you've.
Speaker 2: Got to swim with the tide.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Like it's funny because every parent like you and
Speaker 1: I who use the iPad so much, always go I
Speaker 1: don't know how our parents did it without this, and
Speaker 1: that's a valid question.
Speaker 2: I have no idea.
Speaker 1: But also there was a lot more corporal punishment back then.
Speaker 1: You could hit your kids more back, and you.
Speaker 2: Could also just be like playing the creek and come
Speaker 2: back before dinner.
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't die.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I came on.
Speaker 1: Street lights are on. Back. I know you're three. Street
Speaker 1: lights are on. Get back, don't die.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Later, I want to fight. I look at my
Speaker 2: mom and I'm like, you want to fight? A five? Yeah?
Speaker 2: How the fuck did she do it by herself?
Speaker 1: Not bag, just on her own?
Speaker 2: Yeah, single parent.
Speaker 1: I to meet this woman. Yeah, she probably whip me
Speaker 1: into shape a little bit, like you're now one of six?
Speaker 2: Do you know what she did on this trip? Though?
Speaker 2: I think it's off the back of this.
Speaker 1: This was Was this a fool? I don't think we
Speaker 1: got there.
Speaker 2: All the Johnson's, all the Johnson's here, and.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 2: Growing up, didn't have that much money, and so Mum
Speaker 2: would bring food wherever we went. So we went to
Speaker 2: like the movies or into a theme park, we would sandwiches.
Speaker 2: Never fucking dream of buying food there.
Speaker 1: She's savvy, man, I like that.
Speaker 2: Do you know what she brought with her? Two frozen
Speaker 2: lasagnas are like to Rockhampton, And so she was panicking
Speaker 2: when they lost the luggage. She was like the fucking
Speaker 2: lasagna and spaghetti bolin, like frozen was in the luggage.
Speaker 2: The luggage, Yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 1: You know when you're watching border security and you see
Speaker 1: that family come along and like do you have any
Speaker 1: further like that? And then open the bag. It's just
Speaker 1: full of food. Your mummy? Is that literally? Like you
Speaker 1: imagine that. It's probably why I got lost because they
Speaker 1: were like scanning it, being like something's not Why is
Speaker 1: there like ten kilos of minced beef in this way?
Speaker 1: Is there a fucking lazagn you're in this suit? Is
Speaker 1: this in this samp soung.
Speaker 2: It's definitely cocaine.
Speaker 1: Get it out, only take it out of there ale
Speaker 1: taking a bit just to make sure it's actually a
Speaker 1: bad cook.
Speaker 2: Actually, so Mama brought you brew enough food for us
Speaker 2: to eat every single night for the like the whole
Speaker 2: trip that were away.
Speaker 1: And then Quancas lost everyone's food.
Speaker 2: We still late it.
Speaker 1: When did you get your bags back.
Speaker 2: So we got on a flight at like seven in
Speaker 2: the morning, got the bags back at ten pm. You know,
Speaker 2: it's frozen. MoMA put them into like those Esci bags
Speaker 2: in her bag, so I was still partly frozen by
Speaker 2: the time we got them back to your person.
Speaker 1: It would have been so insulated too. Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 2: Apart from that trip was great. Yrpoon's lovely. One part
Speaker 2: of the holiday which I found interesting, apart from all
Speaker 2: the other calamities that happened.
Speaker 1: Because a big family holiday, there's going to be all
Speaker 1: sorts of different personalities and all sorts.
Speaker 2: Of like it's chaos. Yeah, it's chaos.
Speaker 1: One of five.
Speaker 2: And also my sister's got three kids as well, so
Speaker 2: like you know, bathrooms and chokers. Here in this house,
Speaker 2: there's the suite and the second bathroom. I have the
Speaker 2: on sweet Laura has that bathroom.
Speaker 1: So we never it's exactly like our house.
Speaker 2: Never, like we never crossed life. Yeah, am I looking
Speaker 2: into a mirror of myself?
Speaker 3: You are?
Speaker 2: And so we had to kind of you know, readjust
Speaker 2: the schedule of like bathroom etiquette. But Laura, now we've
Speaker 2: got two kids, we're married, She's not opposed to like
Speaker 2: brushing her teeth whilst I'm doing a shit like I'm
Speaker 2: still I think, Hey, there's nothing sacred. Let's have just
Speaker 2: a little bit of separation.
Speaker 1: You just want that little It's like the skin between
Speaker 1: your ball sack and your asshole. That's how much privacy
Speaker 1: you need.
Speaker 2: Let's keep that.
Speaker 1: Let's keep that. That's yours time.
Speaker 2: What. Yeah, I'm like, Laura, get the fuck out of
Speaker 2: the bar.
Speaker 1: I have.
Speaker 2: And I know I said we wouldn't talk too much
Speaker 2: about ship in this podcast, but this is this could
Speaker 2: just rename the.
Speaker 1: Podcasts talking about shit, talking.
Speaker 2: About shit, two dads and ship. But yeah, I think
Speaker 2: back to when we first started dating, and you know,
Speaker 2: you'd like, if you have to go to the bathroom,
Speaker 2: you'd like run the tap, might play music on your phone.
Speaker 1: Wait, can I ask you a question about that? Because
Speaker 1: obviously from The Bachelor, yes, would you consider that the
Speaker 1: dating or after when you got out? That's when? Because
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously with The Bachelor as we see it,
Speaker 1: well as myself, common folks see it, that they live
Speaker 1: in a separate house.
Speaker 2: I can't. It's kind of like that gray period where
Speaker 2: it's not really dating, but then after the show there's
Speaker 2: maybe like six months where you get to see each
Speaker 2: other secretly, secretly because obviously you don't want to give
Speaker 2: away the outcome of the show. So we would be
Speaker 2: like a weekend trip and a random house in like
Speaker 2: the Blue Mountains where.
Speaker 1: We could be actually really quiet, so you could hear
Speaker 1: each other shit.
Speaker 2: Literally because we couldn't leave the house at all, like
Speaker 2: we're locked in on home arrest, house arrest, and so
Speaker 2: you're like, if you're doing a shit, you'd like put
Speaker 2: toilet paper on top of the toilet to like soften
Speaker 2: the you know, you do everything to mitigate any kind
Speaker 2: of sound leaving the bathroom and letting the other person.
Speaker 1: Especially like especially a woman. I mean, I feel like
Speaker 1: for a man like we it's kind of still a
Speaker 1: fart's not going to be It's kind of like men shit,
Speaker 1: yeah you know what I mean. It is what it is.
Speaker 1: What it is very utility, okay, but like women they
Speaker 1: kind of like have to hide that, like we don't
Speaker 1: two things from me on this one. I used to
Speaker 1: have a friend who said that if he ever heard
Speaker 1: his girlfriend shit or fart around him, it's straight up dumper.
Speaker 1: I know, like no if no ifsor barts, how old
Speaker 1: at this point, look in twenties, yeah not teenage.
Speaker 2: Shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if he's sixteen, that's crazy, that's crazy talk.
Speaker 2: So if he loves Caroline and she goes, it's like you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like you. Obviously you fell in love with Laura.
Speaker 1: That's great. And then she just let.
Speaker 2: One slip out to get pack your staff and get the.
Speaker 1: Call channel ten. I didn't sign up for this.
Speaker 2: Why did you want laure a breakup? Well, well, a Mexican.
Speaker 1: She let one slip. So that's one thing I've got,
Speaker 1: and then I've got another. This guy, I wouldn't call
Speaker 1: him the previous one. I wouldn't call him my close friend.
Speaker 1: I don't want to associate with people like that because
Speaker 1: I feel like that's unreasonable. Oh yeah, I'm disgusted, but
Speaker 1: they don't need to be told to leave.
Speaker 2: I don't encourage your fart in front of no the
Speaker 2: opposite person, but if it happens, hey, that's fine.
Speaker 1: And the other one was like this guy's now wife.
Speaker 1: So for the whole time they dated, she only poohed
Speaker 1: when he was asleep. What I know. Anyway, it was.
Speaker 2: So where were so so she'd have to wait for
Speaker 2: him to like not off and then she go great
Speaker 2: out of the bed.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So it's like, and it
Speaker 1: was that's not sustainable an ongoing joke with my group
Speaker 1: of friends that this was still occurring, still occur. I
Speaker 1: don't know it could still be occurring. That's crazy. So
Speaker 1: that's two ends of the spectrum.
Speaker 2: They're like, I mean, I have flashbacks when I was
Speaker 2: like seventeen and I'd be at a girlfriend's house and
Speaker 2: I'd have stomach cramps from holding in farts for so long.
Speaker 2: And you know, I remember leaving one time to walk
Speaker 2: back home and I literally was four steps out the
Speaker 2: door and just and he was walking down. But those
Speaker 2: days are long gone now. Laura will do a poop
Speaker 2: with the door open.
Speaker 1: Wow. Is that you heard it here?
Speaker 2: Not to put Laura you know, well you just did.
Speaker 2: She's like, what are you going to talk about on
Speaker 2: your podcast?
Speaker 1: Like, hey, shut the door when you do a ship? Yeah,
Speaker 1: just hang up as an anonymous caller. Wow. And so
Speaker 1: Rock Hampton, you've obviously put in a situation where you're.
Speaker 2: Face to face with the other person doing a ship
Speaker 2: that's the contact. Well yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, she just
Speaker 2: I'd like walk past and she'd be staring right at
Speaker 2: me with like a like small grimace on her face,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, are you doing a ship right now?
Speaker 2: And she'd be like, yeah, Laura, alright. Please. When people
Speaker 2: think about, you know, the memories from a family holiday,
Speaker 2: for me, on top of that list is making eye
Speaker 2: contact with my wife as she does a pooh.
Speaker 1: It's scarred? Is it a mental scar for every other?
Speaker 2: But now I kind of think it just brings us
Speaker 2: closer together. It does. It's like childbirth almost. It's in
Speaker 2: the same way.
Speaker 1: You're already up to your elbows in ship with kids. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was covered in shit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, who am I to judge?
Speaker 1: Exactly right? I think like for April and I early
Speaker 1: on the same thing, like so petrified for me to
Speaker 1: know that she pood or fat or whatever, and like,
Speaker 1: you're holding in your farts for like X amount of
Speaker 1: time cannot be good for you. I read that that
Speaker 1: absorb into your intestines.
Speaker 2: I'm no doctor, so I mean, don't go out there
Speaker 2: and quote this to other people. Not a reliable source.
Speaker 2: I heard that your verbs are essentially farts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because they absorb right. Yeah, again, I'm not.
Speaker 2: I don't know if this has ever happened to you.
Speaker 2: In my head, I was like, we're not going to
Speaker 2: talk about ship from the Yeah, but this there's levels
Speaker 2: of shit though, this one's pretty clean in terms of
Speaker 2: like this shit bar.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: This morning, racing out the door to go to daycare?
Speaker 1: Do your kids go to the same daycare? Go two different?
Speaker 2: No? I say, yeah, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: Look? One of them is like free a bit older.
Speaker 2: That's what you're doing. Yeah, that makes perfect savvy. So
Speaker 2: I'm racing at the kids ready this morning. Marley doesn't
Speaker 2: normally do a morning pooh. Normally it's after dinner.
Speaker 1: On a routine already.
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 1: You are truly the best at I mean.
Speaker 2: I don't know what I've done to create this routine,
Speaker 2: but this morning she broke routine. Did a morning poo
Speaker 2: for some weird reason, always asks me to wipe her bum.
Speaker 2: Happy to oblige wiping her bottom, And it's a really
Speaker 2: strong smelling.
Speaker 1: Shit, Like if you could give me the one smell
Speaker 1: that comes to mind.
Speaker 2: It was like a meaty red wine stew.
Speaker 1: Is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was in the bathroom. It was thick. I
Speaker 2: walked in there and I was like, holy shit, Marley's like,
Speaker 2: what this beautiful, petite little girl has just done like
Speaker 2: the strongest meate is smelling shit you've ever smelled.
Speaker 1: I wanted like one of the boys did a ship.
Speaker 2: Literally like on a Sunday morning after drinking like twelve
Speaker 2: weeks and then on it wiped, wiped, it got already.
Speaker 2: And then I was like, man, that smell is just
Speaker 2: it's it's lingering. I was like, I put the extractor
Speaker 2: fan on. Still there. I'm in the bedroom putting their
Speaker 2: shoes on it. I'm like, I can still smell this shit.
Speaker 2: I was like, maybe my sense of smell is getting
Speaker 2: better because I'm getting a bit older. And anyway, walk
Speaker 2: into daycare. I look down and I've just got like
Speaker 2: not thick, but I've got shit smeared on my arm,
Speaker 2: and I've got shit smar on my shorts as well.
Speaker 2: And I'm wearing like gray that kind of tracksuit material shorts.
Speaker 1: You were in gray sweatpans.
Speaker 2: So yeah, so it's like an obvious brown stain and
Speaker 2: I'm midway to daycare and I'm like, oh, that explains
Speaker 2: a lot.
Speaker 1: Got shit on me. How did you get it on
Speaker 1: your forearm?
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like it wasn't like a hectic wipe.
Speaker 1: Was it on the inside or the outside? Okay, the
Speaker 1: logistics of getting shit on the outside of your forearm?
Speaker 1: How did you like backhand wipe it?
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Did you wipe it like a backhand stroke?
Speaker 2: I don't know if it made I was thinking maybe
Speaker 2: it happened that we were playing before, and she like,
Speaker 2: doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1: Okay, did she shit in the toilet or shit herself
Speaker 1: in the toilet? Okay, right in the toilet, but yeah,
Speaker 1: absolute mystery. And then I was like, I don't know
Speaker 1: if I tell the daycare teachers, like, hey, I smell
Speaker 1: like shit, Yeah, just FYI.
Speaker 2: If you're smell any ship, it's me because I've had
Speaker 2: an accident this morning with the kids. But I was like,
Speaker 2: I'll just do a quick drop off.
Speaker 1: So what did you do?
Speaker 2: I just dropped him off and got out of there.
Speaker 2: But then also, normally, did.
Speaker 1: You at least attempt to get the ship off here?
Speaker 2: Not until I got home?
Speaker 1: Do you not have wipes in the car or something? No?
Speaker 2: I walked them down to daycare, okay, walk Yeah, so
Speaker 2: I had no wipes on me? Standard leaf always was it?
Speaker 1: Did you have something on underneath it.
Speaker 2: No, So I was just walking around for Brontie with
Speaker 2: my daughter's.
Speaker 1: Ship on me, thinking up the neighborhood.
Speaker 2: And I normally get a morning coffee after I dropped
Speaker 2: the girls off.
Speaker 1: Today no, I did, Oh my god, what that triple
Speaker 1: shot thing? So you got the triple on your sleeve
Speaker 1: and sh in your head beautiful. I had a similar
Speaker 1: thing like not me before. I had kids out of
Speaker 1: friend and I caught up with them at the pub
Speaker 1: and it was winter. So he had had this jumper
Speaker 1: but he had the jump around his shoulders Like I
Speaker 1: was like, what's that smell? What's that smell? Anyways, kids
Speaker 1: shut themselves on the jumper, but he just grabbed the
Speaker 1: jumper not knowing, and like he's just stunk your pub out?
Speaker 1: About the poor bloke, super embarrassing, So like, I guarantee
Speaker 1: you your DAYCA was like, fucking smell?
Speaker 2: Is it just me or Matt? Really stink and shit?
Speaker 2: I feel like as a parent, the smell of shit's
Speaker 2: not too alarming. Really used to it a faint smell
Speaker 2: of shit. You're like, oh, it's fine.
Speaker 1: I love like pride kids, you like having kids. You
Speaker 1: like fuck who shout themselves like it's a really big den.
Speaker 1: Now it's just like who's poop pood?
Speaker 2: I'll ask a question in my head, but if I
Speaker 2: can't figure it out in like five seconds and I'll
Speaker 2: just move on. It's fine.
Speaker 1: It's fine because someone thinks, like shit, someone needs to
Speaker 1: clean it up eventually. And that leaves me one thing
Speaker 1: as well, where it's like, okay, who's pood? And usually
Speaker 1: the one in our house that can talk, he's like
Speaker 1: Daddy did. And it got me thinking, like, do you,
Speaker 1: as a parent, in your inner monologue, refer to yourself
Speaker 1: as daddy or is that just me? So you know
Speaker 1: how you're like, oh, Daddy's going to poopoos because it's
Speaker 1: you know, you're try and lighten what you're actually doing
Speaker 1: to your kids. Oh, like Daddy's going to open the door,
Speaker 1: or Daddy'll get it. Now, my whole inner monologue is
Speaker 1: just me referring to myself as daddy full dad. So
Speaker 1: I'm both confused and horny, just like no one's even
Speaker 1: in the house and I'm like, oh, Daddy'll watch that.
Speaker 2: It sounds like kind of erotic.
Speaker 1: It does because I also I play it off with
Speaker 1: April too.
Speaker 2: Daddy's hungry she'd be like, did you drink.
Speaker 1: All my water? I'd be like, Daddy was thirsty.
Speaker 2: In the bedroom as well.
Speaker 1: I reckon, if I whipped it out in the bedroom,
Speaker 1: she'd be like, get the fuck out you're on the
Speaker 1: couch because it's just like that different level of creep.
Speaker 1: But if I do it to like everyday situations like Daddy's.
Speaker 2: Hanging in the laundry, yeah.
Speaker 1: There's probably a good chance I'll get a laugh out
Speaker 1: of it. You know what laughing leads to sexy time?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Well so, yeah, So I wanted to ask you there's
Speaker 1: a bit of scenario happening in our family at the moment.
Speaker 2: It sounds quite serious.
Speaker 1: It's serious, man, that's serious stuff. I mean, what are
Speaker 1: your thoughts on using your kids to gain more friends?
Speaker 2: Straight off the bat?
Speaker 1: Totally fine, totally fine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean kids take enough from us that at
Speaker 2: some point I think it's totally fair to use them
Speaker 2: to your advantage.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when we go back to it's hard to make friends, right,
Speaker 1: but also like I don't want to gain too many
Speaker 1: more friends.
Speaker 2: Who's the friend?
Speaker 1: All right? So I'll give you the scenario please, and
Speaker 1: what's happened since? Okay, So a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: Two weeks ago, we got this little park in our complex,
Speaker 1: and my wife took both the kids out to this
Speaker 1: tiny little park. Is really quiet all the time. It's great.
Speaker 1: Usually if one of us stays back to clean it,
Speaker 1: give the house bit of spruce up, love it. You
Speaker 1: can't clean with the hip kids, and that's just fucking possible. Pointless,
Speaker 1: I'm packing the toys up, turn around Oscar, tipping the
Speaker 1: toys back out. It's just a waste of time. So
Speaker 1: she's at the park and there's another kid at the park,
Speaker 1: similar age to Oscar, just four, and his dad's there
Speaker 1: and where the kids are playing, okay, and the wife
Speaker 1: also shows up. I just got a really young baby.
Speaker 1: I'm talking like five weeks old. So they're at the
Speaker 1: park too. But the dad sort of engaged with April,
Speaker 1: like hey, kids are getting on and physically asked right
Speaker 1: there and then for my wife's phone number. The wife's there, right,
Speaker 1: He's obviously his wife is there. His wife was there too,
Speaker 1: So when.
Speaker 2: He's the one doing the asking, he's the.
Speaker 1: One doing the asking. It was like he was trying
Speaker 1: to gain friends. So anyway, I didn't know at this
Speaker 1: age I'm at home. April comes and she's like, this
Speaker 1: just happened.
Speaker 2: Okay, what did she give the number?
Speaker 1: Well, she said I didn't have any choice. I was like,
Speaker 1: you do you just say? Look, we live a very
Speaker 1: private life and I don't like to give out my
Speaker 1: personal number. I mean, it's easy for me to say
Speaker 1: that than her to actually do it.
Speaker 2: She's like, looks behind her, this family is they're like, hey,
Speaker 2: we're moving in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, bully. She was like, I saw I paint and
Speaker 1: straight away I'm like, do not drag me into me.
Speaker 1: I don't want any part of this.
Speaker 2: I've just cleaned the fucking house.
Speaker 1: I've just cleaned the house. And you come back and
Speaker 1: you're saying you've got another man's phone number. She's like, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: He wants to get together to have a playdate. And
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, you've yoursues your kid to swooping on
Speaker 1: my wife and started. But like, also, I think that's brazen,
Speaker 1: the balls on this guy. Yeah, And I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, maybe he won't, maybe he won't message.
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously, it's like in the moment, get the number.
Speaker 1: And look, I think it's fine too. If you're at
Speaker 1: like a community event. So for example, if both of
Speaker 1: our kids are playing soccer together, all the little kickers
Speaker 1: or whatever they're doing. Men and Matthew, we see each other.
Speaker 1: They're week in week out.
Speaker 2: That's strong common ground.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's usually two blokes, two women whatever it
Speaker 1: might be like men and women, Like, there's nothing wrong
Speaker 1: with that. But also it's like they've never met before.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this guy could be at a point where like
Speaker 2: he really needs some help.
Speaker 1: He's trying to find new friends, and like I said,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get rid of friends I've got. I
Speaker 1: don't need more. Yeah, I'm full, I'm full up. Man,
Speaker 1: I've just yeah, manage took the last spot. And that's
Speaker 1: not because I'm really popular, No, it's like I just like,
Speaker 1: there's only so many friends I can manage anyway, So
Speaker 1: aprils come home. I've said, do not drag me into
Speaker 1: this mess with you. This is your mess. You get out,
Speaker 1: And she's like, I'm just gonna have to avoid the park.
Speaker 2: But it's a complex.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but there's also many parks near us. But she's like,
Speaker 1: and the bad thing is, I've seen him in all
Speaker 1: the other parks before from a distance, recognized him because
Speaker 1: it's a small community there. There's all these townhouses. Not
Speaker 1: everyone knows each other, but you sort of see the
Speaker 1: same people. And I'm like, this is your fucking mess.
Speaker 1: I said, if he invites us to a playdate, no
Speaker 1: matter where it is, I am not going. And I
Speaker 1: don't even know the guy. It's just how my brain works.
Speaker 1: So anyway, I'm thinking we sort of let it go.
Speaker 1: And I was like, he might not even call, or
Speaker 1: he might say, hey, my kid's having a birthday party.
Speaker 1: All these people coming over if you're a round cup
Speaker 1: something like that. Anyway, he texts her the next day,
Speaker 1: that's first thing in the morning. I'm talking seven thirty
Speaker 1: in the morning, to try and tee up a play
Speaker 1: date for the followings or this upcoming Saturday.
Speaker 2: Just to reiterate not fucking coming.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. I was like, you got yourself into this,
Speaker 1: miss babe. But it's all you anyways, So for the
Speaker 1: whole day, okay, April was like I gotta respond. I
Speaker 1: have to respond. I can't not respond.
Speaker 2: I won't.
Speaker 1: She's like, I won't be able to sleep.
Speaker 2: Why didn't you just say like, oh, I've got something
Speaker 2: on here.
Speaker 1: But then I said, look, that means you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to have something on every week because he's messaged you immediately, okay,
Speaker 1: saying let's catch up this Saturday morning. So anyway, as
Speaker 1: my wife would do, she dress a response, I've got
Speaker 1: to check it. I was like, just rip the band
Speaker 1: aid off, say this is the wrong number, Like did.
Speaker 2: You not want to say? Hell me, like, let's just
Speaker 2: go down the park a couple of meters from the
Speaker 2: house in the complex.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, he was. I think the message said something like, oh, hey,
Speaker 1: really nice to meet you. If you're free on Saturday morning,
Speaker 1: we can get the kids together at this particular park
Speaker 1: that's nearest, that's got a name.
Speaker 2: Just to confirm his a wife. He has a.
Speaker 1: Wife, and she was there. She was there.
Speaker 2: But weird to like, obviously not to say that men
Speaker 2: and women can't be friends, but it's weird that the
Speaker 2: wife didn't initiate.
Speaker 1: I don't yeah, I don't look personally, if it's me,
Speaker 1: I'm avoiding all our contact of the park. If I
Speaker 1: see a guy there that I've seen heaps and we're
Speaker 1: both pushing on the swing, it's hey, amen, that's as
Speaker 1: far as about it. Yeah, So I've said to April,
Speaker 1: I'm like, look, you can rip the band aid off
Speaker 1: now it's done. We can avoid him for the rest
Speaker 1: of our lives or move like that's the option, or
Speaker 1: you could do it. But I said, if you go
Speaker 1: to one, you've straight upset the precedents that you're willing
Speaker 1: to go to these playdates.
Speaker 2: Next thing will end up at birthday parties, christenings.
Speaker 1: And and I'm going to get sucked into it the
Speaker 1: whole day. She's trying to come up with a response.
Speaker 1: We eventually came up with respond with something like, hey, sorry,
Speaker 1: can't this Saturday. See what next week looks like.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: We finished it off with a thumbs up emotion.
Speaker 2: Likeang, what was the intent with the thumbs up?
Speaker 1: Just to be like I think it was like you
Speaker 1: didn't want to leave it with no emoji, Like we tried, nice, try, nice, try,
Speaker 1: but we've got too many friends. We've got enough friends,
Speaker 1: I should say. Anyway, so Saturday comes along, it's not
Speaker 1: going to have a really really big ending story like
Speaker 1: look on your faces, like this is gonna be good.
Speaker 1: It's not. We just spent all Saturday not going to
Speaker 1: the past. So I look my thought on it, and
Speaker 1: I was like, I wonder what Mak's going to think
Speaker 1: about this too, because I mean, you're in the area,
Speaker 1: You've spend a lot of time with the kids. Because
Speaker 1: Laura is just to go get her, you would get approached.
Speaker 2: I've been the other guy.
Speaker 1: Oh, you've been trying to find friends, going to lose, don't.
Speaker 2: Do it down at Bronte Park a few times. I've
Speaker 2: seen Andrew Johns with his daughter.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, okay, he's an immortal. You want to
Speaker 1: attach yourself to people are going to live forever. Ever, Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's it.
Speaker 2: And his daughter's the same age as Marley AND's. You know,
Speaker 2: like I kind of was like assuring her her go
Speaker 2: on the swings when she and Andrew Johns's daughter's on
Speaker 2: the swings. And then guess what daycare his daughter goes
Speaker 2: to yours, same as Marley.
Speaker 1: It's meant to be and yet and show up here
Speaker 1: we go go on it. Because if he becomes your friend,
Speaker 1: he also becomes my friend by default. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: that's non negotiable for him. That's too bad for you.
Speaker 1: Two for one deal, yeah, because that also gets us
Speaker 1: closest is a Matt John's. We all know what you
Speaker 1: like with the John So go to KINDI dress the
Speaker 1: kids up in Newcastle Knights straight in Come on girls,
Speaker 1: it's number seven on the back.
Speaker 2: Well, we had a scenario where one Friday afternoon, we
Speaker 2: had like a little fish and chips on like the
Speaker 2: grass area at the beach. We saw his daughter and
Speaker 2: they get along like really really well. And I was like,
Speaker 2: this is it Friday afternoon. I've got a couple of
Speaker 2: drinks in the ski, fish and chips, nice and relaxed,
Speaker 2: perfect environment to like begin the friendship. And annoyingly, she
Speaker 2: was with a babysitter. He wasn't around, and it was
Speaker 2: it was heartbreaking.
Speaker 1: Do you knock her out?
Speaker 2: And yeah, I was like where, I don't know where
Speaker 2: we're hurting me? So where yet we yet to start
Speaker 2: the friendship. He's probably listening right now, if he's listening
Speaker 2: being like, I had no idea.
Speaker 1: I had no idea. I'm actually a really big fan
Speaker 1: of yours. I was just afraid to come.
Speaker 2: Up and you just talk to me. I'm just like
Speaker 2: any other.
Speaker 1: Girl, I'm one of you.
Speaker 2: I'm very much using my child as bait to make
Speaker 2: a new friendship. You're going very well.
Speaker 1: Look, I think if it's someone like Andrew Johns. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but like, how would you feel if Andrew Johns walked
Speaker 1: up to you know what? It'd still be okay if
Speaker 1: he was like, babe, give him your number, Just give
Speaker 1: it to him.
Speaker 2: Anyway. If I looked over and Andrew Johns was trying
Speaker 2: to kiss my wife, I'd be like, do it, babe,
Speaker 2: leaning more time, Totally fine with it.
Speaker 1: Does that mean if you kiss in the model you're
Speaker 1: also yeah.
Speaker 2: I'd been next in line. I'd be like, well, come here,
Speaker 2: big boy in.
Speaker 1: Dy wants to kiss Daddy wants to kiss Andrew his
Speaker 1: wife called him, and I'm like, for sure, and we
Speaker 1: can go on about Andrew the greatest player of all time.
Speaker 2: I've just seen the time it is. I'm sorry to say.
Speaker 2: If anyone is still listening at this point, probably just
Speaker 2: that one guy who's been trying to get your wife's
Speaker 2: number at the park.
Speaker 1: He's talking about me for sure. He's like, I've done
Speaker 1: what I set out to achieve. Now I'm embedded in
Speaker 1: their relationship.
Speaker 2: Oh, one listener, it's great to have you here. But
Speaker 2: that is the very first episode.
Speaker 1: It could be the only episode, could be.
Speaker 2: Yeahistically we could listen back and go, well, that was
Speaker 2: absolutely terrible. Let's never do that again.
Speaker 1: I think when people see that I'm talking into a sock,
Speaker 1: and I think this is not the place for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, once I saw that sock hard.
Speaker 1: No, I don't want to know where this is going,
Speaker 1: but we don't know.
Speaker 2: Hey, if you do want another episode, I mean, I'm
Speaker 2: pretty needy.
Speaker 1: I've noticed, and let me know if people want to
Speaker 1: hear another episode. They want to hear is ramble on
Speaker 1: about ship.
Speaker 2: One thing that we will do for episode two. I
Speaker 2: think there will be an episode two. We'll try and
Speaker 2: do this.
Speaker 1: Every week, but we don't know if there is going
Speaker 1: to be a just committed to us everywhere. Yeah, okng on,
