I am Ash 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:37.040 and we have April.

And she's filling in for our 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:47.920 friend Mattie Jay who is still in the jungle. This 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:50.200 is a parenting podcast. It's all about the good, the bad, 0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:51.720 and the ugly. 0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:53.720 Is that what you say? 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:54.960 No relatable? 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:55.680 Relatable? 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:58.360 Do you even listen? You definitely don't listen, do you? 0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:01.520 I know, I do, I do? I do catch you 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:04.400 giggling away? Yeah, favorite episode. 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:07.520 I did thoroughly enjoy the one where we did all 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:08.120 four of us? 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:10.240 What about whipper oh? 0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:12.839 That actually that was my favorite guest episode for sure. 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:14.840 Yeah, yeah, I told you that. 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:19.080 You did tell her that. Well, let's start with last night. 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:22.280 You and I did a live stream goggle Box style, 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:27.399 not as an audition, with Matt's food eating challenge. Do 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:28.880 you recall I do recall. 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:32.040 I recall you asking me when I was mid work 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:35.160 and I was agreeing to it without realizing what I 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:35.760 was agreeing to. 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:36.560 So thanks for that. 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:40.000 I strategically I didn't even ask you. I told you 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:43.200 and you were like mid email, yeah and you were 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:46.440 like that fun. Yeah yeah. And then I've left for 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.360 the day, yeah come back and said you ready, and 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:51.080 you were like, fuck, what do we do it? 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:55.080 Well? I actually had a couple of girlfriends screenshot what 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.279 two doting dad's share and I was like, what's this happening? 0:01:58.440 --> 0:01:58.600 Was this? 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:00.760 And I was like, oh my gosh, what is happening? 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:02.240 What if I agreed to? 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:03.000 Whoops? 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.200 But no, it was fine in the end. It was fun. 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:07.520 Yeah, it was good. It was fun to watch Matt 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:20.799 suffer this. Maddie did alright. So first of all, Maddie 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:24.040 did the trial at Tucker Trial with Reggie and Max. 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.680 Max is the TikToker and Reggie is going blind. 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:30.200 I think she's more than that, she's a mum. 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:34.400 She's going blind. Thoughts on the food initially, do you 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:34.680 know what? 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:38.280 I feel like they've done worse things in the jungle. 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:40.960 I saw a heap of comments on the Tiktoks like 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:44.960 the UK it must be UK people being like UK people, 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:49.760 the people from the UK saying oh this is way 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:52.240 worse than the UK one. This is way worse like 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:53.959 it was, like it was better. 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:55.080 I don't know. 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:56.840 I think when you've got the liquid, like there was 0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.040 a smoothie, there was a cappuccino, I. 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:00.600 Feel like that would be a lot easier. 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:03.480 Yeah, they used to do a lot well, I think 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:05.919 because they used to exploit more animals. 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.000 But now Robert irwins, I agree with you. 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:12.120 Yeah. So first one they had was the bed bugs. 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:17.120 Are they really bed bugs? They're huge? 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:19.680 Yeah, they're not bed bugs, but to be fair, they 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:22.360 did look a little bit like oats. So I feel 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:25.120 like if he just changed his mindset, yeah, he. 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:26.840 Actually munths do that pretty quick. The next one he 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:31.079 had was the crapper Chino. It looks like a delicious 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:34.320 frape of some description mickfraffe, if you, if you will, 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:38.120 a re sponsored by McDonald's, no lambtungue and esophocus with 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:42.160 sour milk thoughts, and we've got one here for you 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:42.400 know that. 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:46.080 I just wonder how they can drink that and not 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:52.240 get sick later? Like how much is it, truthfully what 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:53.680 they're saying. That's what I want to know. 0:03:55.080 --> 0:04:00.360 You call conspiracy. I like it, Matt said, and two 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:05.240 quote Matt, it tastes like I'm eating shit, perfect good 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:07.240 it be used to it. And then the last one 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.880 was a combined meal they all ate, which was a 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:13.240 Brecky bowl, which Man and I quite often when we 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:16.680 do record eat a Brecky bowl from the cafe down 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.359 the road. So he would have been stoked when this 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:23.920 came out. It has horse anus, chicken heart, beef tripe, 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:24.520 and liver. 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.320 What surprised me in this one is the fact he 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:28.839 chose the anus. 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:30.880 He openly chose anhole. 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.120 Yeah. 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:35.719 I don't know what was the last one? The chicken, liver, 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:41.839 beef tripe. What, Oh, that's the one that looked like avocado. Yeah, 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:45.839 imagine that's sliding down your gallot easier. The horse as 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:48.360 looked a little bit like a dim sim. It did, actually, 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:49.680 I was thinking dim. 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:53.039 Dim sim, dim sim, dim sim, And that probably was 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:54.480 moist enough to swallow it all. 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:56.359 I think it was a dim sim. 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:58.479 So would that mean that he'd poop out an asshole 0:04:58.520 --> 0:04:59.320 out of his arsehole? 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:02.520 You could say that? 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:06.479 Very good? I thought they did really well. They got 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.960 all thirteen stars. Third, yeah, they got all thirteen stars, 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:13.440 which surprisingly you did recall when we gave Matt a 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:14.159 Sentry egg. 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:17.000 Yeah, and he was hidering how much he failed at that. 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:18.560 I'm actually surprised. 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:21.440 I did better than him. He ate the eel really well. 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:25.279 But the Century egg was like a dirty pond. And 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:28.440 they brang one out for Max last night, and they 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:29.919 looked like they poached it. 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.000 It looked like it had a coating of some sort 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:32.640 of flavor. 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:35.960 It didn't look like the one we had. Ours was 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.360 still yours was brown. It was in the shell still 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:41.000 such I think they might have cooked cooked it. So 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:43.680 Jess potentially our produceder put us at risk with a 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:48.880 raw Sentry egg. So God was still here. Anyway, I 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:52.720 thought they did really well. They didn't considering We did 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:56.520 call Laura and Marley midway through the challenge. Marley was 0:05:56.520 --> 0:06:00.680 still awake, Yeah, and she thought it was discussed as 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.080 you would, but she was holding up compared to the 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:04.560 first time, where she cried a lot. 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:06.880 That's true the first time she watched him. 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:08.840 I feel like she's sort of used to him now. 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.200 Yeah, probably watched him every night now. 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.000 Yeah, enough of that. Just go and vote for Matt please. 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:16.640 As much as I want him back, I'm enjoying these 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:18.880 episodes where he's not here I get to look at April, 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:25.640 which it's my lucky day, April. I do want to 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.880 start with one thing with you. If I want to 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:33.240 ask you something and what your thoughts are Oscar and 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:38.560 Poppa's relationship. Describe it for me. How would you describe it? 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:46.200 Popper is Oscar's slave, if anything, best friend who's a slave. 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:49.159 Just describe what you saw this morning. For those it 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:53.800 is school holidays. Poppa is April's dad, Frank, and he 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.880 looks after Oscar on a Wednesday during a school holiday, 0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:00.479 and today's Wednesday, and he picks him up from our place. 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:04.880 April was I was driving up back home because I 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:08.680 dropped Macy off and I drove past Papa and Oscar 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:13.160 and there's Oscar, window down all the way down, the 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:16.680 breeze in his hair, with his arms behind the back 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:19.840 of his head, just looking out the window on his 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:20.960 way living. 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:26.760 His absolute grapes. Yeah, he looked like he looked like royalty. 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:31.600 He's got he is the first grandchild. He's got first 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:36.200 grandchild syndrome where he gets everything he wants right. And 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:40.240 parents out there will agree that their kids grandparents just 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:42.320 spoil the shit out of them. I mean, as they 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.120 should really, But like with Oscars, it's mental. 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:47.720 Yeah, it's next level what that guy gets. 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:52.640 Yeah, and also Macy. Papa always just carries Macy everywhere 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:54.040 like a trophy. 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:56.840 Yeah, like he just her feet can't touch the. 0:07:56.840 --> 0:08:01.240 Girl when we're when we're at his place, her feet 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:03.880 do not touch the ground. He's either holding her, she's 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:07.800 asleep on him, or she's sitting up on a kitchen bench. 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:11.040 And he always serves her up chocolate milk in a bottle. 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:15.559 Oh my god, she's a lucky gout the warm. Even 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:18.240 Oscar though, gets the warm chocolate milk. And I look 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:21.520 over he's eating a Lamington. Yeah, he's going for ten 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:24.559 swims a day. He's just living his absolute best life. 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.200 He's a lucky boy. They're both are very lucky. 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.720 So I'm fully expecting Oscar to come back with all 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:32.120 of his bad habits. 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:33.920 He comes back so moody. 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:35.800 Yes, he's never tired. 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:37.160 No, the kid doesn't tire. 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:39.840 He doesn't tire. So how do your parent that when 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:43.439 he gets he's full of sugar. Yeah, he's angry. He's 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:46.120 a roid head, that's what he is. Maybe you should 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:49.080 take him to the gym. Yeah, probably, he needs to 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:51.280 do something. Maybe should get like a treadmill. 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:56.120 Treadmill just put it's like a little hamster wheel for him. 0:08:56.240 --> 0:09:03.160 Yeah, cute, we could always I mean, how do you 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.440 reverse We have told Popper, but Popper lies. 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:10.960 I think we're just so grateful that we have Popper 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:14.079 to take him for a whole day, if not two days. 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:17.199 Yeah, mind it. I don't really want to tell him, yeah, 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:18.000 because then he'll. 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:21.120 Be like, well, also, it makes Poppa's life so much easier. 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:24.400 He doesn't have to run around after him. 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:26.840 And he's just a bad hips and stuff. So when 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:28.400 he gets home, what we'll do, and I think what 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:30.560 we do is we just go no screen time, get 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:34.440 the puzzles out, see how we go with that, and 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:35.760 hopefully goes to sleep. 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:37.120 Yeah, no, I agree. 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.280 It's the worst when he naps as well in the car. 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.160 Yeah, then you know he's awake for five more hours. 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.480 Yeah. Remember when we were living in the old house 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:47.920 and a couple of times he get home, Popper would 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:49.720 come and drop him off and he was asleep in 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:52.440 the car and it's like five o'clock and you're like, 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:57.080 God's sake, ruin the rest of the night anyway, But yeah, I. 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.839 Think it's I think it's a hard one to c 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.160 don't know what to do because you want to you 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:03.480 want to tell Poppa. 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:05.400 Don't do this, don't do that. 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:07.920 But then it's like you're so grateful that to take 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:10.680 just do whatever whatever makes everyone happy at the time. 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:14.280 Sometime, look, I'm guilty of sometimes still just doing the 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:16.439 easy way out. I think we all are. 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.520 I've seen you and you're hungover days passing out the phone. 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.080 We're not so perfect parents, after all. 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:28.319 I know I do what Yeah, when I'm a bit 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:32.400 hung I'm like anything goes anyway. I wanted to touch 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:33.760 on that because I thought it was really funny this 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:43.720 morning that you witnessed Oscar in full Prince Oscar Popu, 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.680 the chauf for and he. The thing is that today, 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:48.880 like we don't see him all day until this afternoon, 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:52.160 so I would assume that he he would he would 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:57.280 have like a little bell An popa and he'll come 0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:00.120 home with all these new toys, or he would have 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:03.360 eaten far too much chocolate and ice cream. 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:06.040 And watch way too much YouTube, which we say now. 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:10.040 Yeah, so just everyone listening. April and I have implemented 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:14.000 the no YouTube rule in this house because he gets 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:18.920 so aggressive. He turns into like a roid rager after like, 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:22.599 what is it about YouTube? Is it just the algorithm 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:24.920 of YouTube that just gets him riled up? 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:25.760 I don't know. 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:28.080 But in saying that, Macy, I don't think it affects 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:31.440 as much, but Oscar it affects. 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:34.040 He turns into Oscar the Grouch, like it's his alter 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:37.319 ego after watching YouTube. So we've banded in the house 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:42.120 except for drawing videos, which we're fine with, and they've 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:45.280 got to be on the TV. Yeah, no single screens anymore. 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:46.360 We've changed. 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:50.320 Ye who would people used to say, like, gotta get 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:52.560 rid of it, gotta get rid of it, and we're like, hello. 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:57.959 So easy. But I've noticed his mood is better. They 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:00.400 do sleep better, I would say, because I used to 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:03.480 wake up going, oh whats YouTube? Like it was like 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:06.040 now they wake up they did a puzzle this morning 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:06.880 before doing a. 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:11.080 Five years in. 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:15.439 He's about to go to school where they have nothing 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:21.480 but iPads. Now, little you had a couple of evenings 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:25.640 out last week. I did, you did? I had the 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:30.520 bath duties to do when you were gone, dinner, bath, bedtime, 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:32.920 routine into bed. That seems pretty. 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:35.200 Straightforward, you'd think so what happened. 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:38.920 So we completed the bath routine. We've gone through, like 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:43.839 I just said, the third the bath, and then I 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.760 put them to bed. I've come out here to finally relax, 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:49.720 and you know, they share a room, so they chatter. Whatever, 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.720 it's not a really big deal. I turned the hallway 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.800 light on accidentally, and I tried to turn it off, 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:57.400 and you know what Macy's like, once I turn a 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:00.160 light and just leave it on for some reason, in 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.160 as intrusive as that light is, and I wasn't gonna argue. 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:05.679 I was like whatever. Anyway, they hear him talking, hear 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.160 him talk, and then I hear this daddy, and I 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:11.480 was like, go to sleep, just like we're doing a 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:15.920 live stream last night. Go to sleep, don't make me 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:19.520 come in there, all the usual, and then Macy's like daddy, 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:23.079 like they were scared of something. Oh no, and I 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.880 was like, what the fuck. So I've walked up there 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:28.200 and I've gone like, what is it? Like, I'm over 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:30.079 at this stage, I've been in bed for like half 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:32.840 an hour, still not a sleep, what is it? And 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:36.400 they're like that on the ground. So the light has 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:40.360 lit up over the top of a toy. Oh that's 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:42.920 created a bigger shadow. I'll show you the toy. 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:45.080 I feel like we've all witnessed that as a child, 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:46.360 thinking something was massive. 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:48.520 We still witness that as adults. You think, is that 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:49.120 my coat? 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:54.000 Is that the what's the boogie monster? 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:57.400 Trying to figure out what they were trying to trying 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:00.839 to tell me, They're pointing down, pointing down, and there 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.200 was a shadow of like a dog like figure, but 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:05.680 like an angry dog like figure, and I thought, he's 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:07.559 not in here. He's the family dog for those I 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.000 don't know. And I looked down and I was like, 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:12.480 what is making that shadow? And it was about two 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:15.880 foot shadow, pretty big. Oh my gosh, look at that. 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:25.720 It's a tiny little lego. It's a centimeter in size, 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:28.560 but it's created this shadow that scared the shit out 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:30.840 of them. So I had to I was like, look, 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:33.360 this is it, this is it, trying to explain like, 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:36.160 don't be scared anyway. I then had to spend the 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:39.880 next five to ten minutes check in the whole room 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:44.080 for creatures. So I'm under the bed, I'm in the cupboard, 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:47.720 I'm behind the curtains. Check the next room over, check 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:52.200 our room, check the hallway, no other creatures. And I 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:53.880 was like, tomazic, can I turn that light off now? 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:55.520 And she was so happy for me to turn that light. 0:14:55.640 --> 0:15:00.400 Turn it. That's it very cute. It's very very cute. 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:03.600 Intil it's a three foot shadow of it. Anyway, Anyway, 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:09.360 I have something to show you because we have been 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:11.320 trying the last couple of weeks, Laura and I we 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:14.920 were talking about potty training for Macy, and Macy is 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.560 she's potty training to wi, but she's still poops in 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:21.680 a nappy. And it got me thinking about if we 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:25.800 took the nappy off, because Laura's advice was get rid 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:29.720 of the nappy, no undies. I listened, Yeah, which I 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:33.080 think is very we haven't followed because Macy's loving her underpants. Yes, 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:37.120 she was weaning and I know that much. And I 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.040 was like, okay, well and she's going to start to 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:42.200 pooh with no undies on what's that going to look 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:42.800 like for us? 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:46.880 I think that theory of no underpants is for weeeze. 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:49.520 I think when it comes to poohs, they definitely know 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:50.360 the dest want. 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:52.840 To continue that. What would it look like if we 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:57.120 went cold Turkey? And I've got to found a video. 0:15:57.480 --> 0:15:59.920 Oh I think I know what it would look like, 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:03.160 and I'll show you the shit just really pissed me 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:06.600 the fuck off, because why the fuck would you sit 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:15.520 in my sht in her shoe? No, look at that thing. 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:19.480 Surely that's a dog shit. That is not. That is 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:22.400 not it has got human consistency. 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:25.760 Oh my gosh. 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:28.920 My fear is that if we take Laura's advice, that's 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.080 gonna happen. And do you know what would be worse 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:33.760 is if you were you didn't know, and you went 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:34.600 and put the shoe on. 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:37.920 This is true, but I feel like if anyone's shoes 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.800 are going to get shut on in this household, it's 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:44.480 yours mine and neatly put away every day. 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:46.080 Put away bullshit. 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:49.800 If I spotted, oh yeah, a shoe, I dare you? 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:51.360 I dare you? All fine? 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:55.040 One yeah, point proven, I have picked up your shoes before. 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:57.360 You're not perfect once. 0:16:57.200 --> 0:16:58.360 In a blue moon. 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:02.600 Maybe what was destminding against me? All right? She would 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:05.359 poop in my shoes? No, she would she would poo 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:08.680 in your slipper or something, which honestly, I only got 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:11.200 new slippers. Now your old slippers would be. 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:13.159 In the old slippers. I don't wear them anymore. 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:18.280 But yeah, that my worst nightmare is to find, like, 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:21.000 not be able to find the poop oh. 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:23.480 It's like, there's nothing worse than stepping on dog pooh 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:27.880 when yeah, stepping on human pool, stepping on human probably 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:32.000 worse that squished between you to I want to imagine imagine. 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:38.879 No, definitely not, April. I did warn our listeners that 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:41.679 you would be on and I did ask them for 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:45.240 some questions to ask you. We've got a couple because 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:47.280 we could be here all day asking you questions.

How did you do that? 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:15.360 And she said, what did you say? 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:18.119 Abs are made in the kitchen, babes? That was my 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:18.879 exact quote. 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:24.359 Yeah, and what should go to ab me?

I'm very balanced in the sense I 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:31.919 will eat like a healthy. 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:33.880 Meal, but then I'll be more than. 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:39.440 Happy to have an ice cream after it. KFC, it's balanced. 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:40.480 There's no strict diet. 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:44.480 Somehow I've managed to mention McDonald's and Singer in this episode. 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:48.080 We'll take either one anyway. We'll get into these questions. 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:49.320 I've just got two. 0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:50.680 Oh that's fine? 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:51.040 Yeah? 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:52.840 Is that only two people asked? 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:56.560 No? Thank you for all the listeners. That and April 0:18:56.600 --> 0:18:58.720 has ready questions and if there's anything that she feels 0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:01.080 like responding to, she will. But there was two that 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:03.639 we thought otherwise we'd be here all day. We're going 0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:05.120 to let the people get back to their days. 0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:05.600 Enough. 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:08.560 This one's Bree. I would love to know how she 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:14.080 handles conversations with Ash about sharing the parenting workload plus 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:18.120 life admin in your eyes, how do you think we 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:18.919 handled it? 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:24.080 Didn't come easy, but I think where our communication had 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:27.600 to improve, and one major factor of that is getting 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:31.520 a Google Family calendar. Yeah that is a game changer. 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:33.680 Well for me anyway, You've. 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:35.960 Done nothing but coach me for twelve months on how 0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:39.840 to use this fucking calendar, and I look, I've gotten better, 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:43.480 you have, I have gotten better. The life admin revolves 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:47.720 around that calendar in terms of the parenting workload pretty split. 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:52.040 Well. To be honest, I don't look like that. I 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:55.919 feel like I'm okay to do what I can do 0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:57.800 because obviously I work from home, so I have more 0:19:57.800 --> 0:20:02.040 time if you're running out of the door. I also think again, 0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:06.520 with the open communication, I don't have any issue being 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:08.320 like Ashton, can you do this? 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:11.520 Do you do you think I do this? Or Ashton, 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:13.600 can you get up and do this for me? 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:18.600 No? I think you're more passive than that. 0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:20.960 I'm kind. I'm not passive. 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:24.399 No, you're more like it would be nice. 0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:28.240 No, that's that's your persona on me. 0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:31.359 I know that's your persona of me online, but in 0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:34.960 your life, I'm actually like, hey, could you do this? 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:39.080 Do you exactly? I am not like I am not 0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:42.760 like that. I'm not like the person like, hi, darling, 0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:45.040 can you please help me with it? No, you're not. 0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:47.640 You don't so you're not as direct as you think 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:52.360
