Speaker 1: And it was time to return back to Sydney to
Speaker 1: get to the airport. Flight was a little bit delayed
Speaker 1: and we're waiting to board the plane. Lola ended up
Speaker 1: falling asleep in my lap. And you know, tonightmare when
Speaker 1: the kids always fall asleep when you have to then
Speaker 1: like move going. Yeah, as she fell asleep. Twenty minutes later,
Speaker 1: they're like boarding for jet Star blah blah, oh blah blah.
Speaker 1: So now as we're getting you have to walk across
Speaker 1: the tarmac. She wakes up crying. She's having a terrible time.
Speaker 1: She's like, I was fucking sleeping. Why are we on
Speaker 1: a tarmac? And why is there a jet engine in
Speaker 1: my face? So we get the kids down in their seats.
Speaker 1: I'm in the aisle. Lola's next to me, screaming because
Speaker 1: she's just been working up. Marley's in the window seat
Speaker 1: watching her iPad, preoccupied. Maley's been great. The person in
Speaker 1: front of me was very agitated. It was a man.
Speaker 1: There was a man in a red jacket.
Speaker 2: Detriment for the story.
Speaker 1: Yes, anyway, So everyone's boarded. Plane doors are shut and
Speaker 1: I'm still trying to settle Lola very aware that I'm
Speaker 1: trying to.
Speaker 2: Make it's like trying to diffuse a bomb.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I'm dealing with that. The guy in front
Speaker 1: of me turns around, peers over the seat, looks at me,
Speaker 1: and he goes, do you want me to break your
Speaker 1: fucking nose? No?
Speaker 2: No, no, are you serious?
Speaker 1: I am deadly serious right now.
Speaker 2: He's just out of nowhere.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, and I'm like what. I was like, is
Speaker 1: this a joke?
Speaker 2: Is this?
Speaker 1: I was like, what, I'm trying to comprehend what's going on?
Speaker 1: Because it came left field?
Speaker 2: What sort of bloke was he like?
Speaker 1: Was? Well, it turns out he wasn't quite right. I
Speaker 1: want to say. He was like mister Freeze two point.
Speaker 2: Zero, so you reckon. It was like an isotic.
Speaker 1: He was he was, he wasn't. I wasn't sure in
Speaker 1: that moment because I said excuse me, and he goes,
Speaker 1: do you want to break your fucking nose? And I
Speaker 1: was like, And luckily Marley didn't hear because she was
Speaker 1: on a iPad. Lola was screaming the house down, so
Speaker 1: she didn't realize. And I was like, oh, like in
Speaker 1: that moment, I just froze.
Speaker 2: It's like, holy shit.
Speaker 1: But then the lucky thing was so lucky that this happened.
Speaker 1: The air hosty happened to be right next to me
Speaker 1: walking down the aisle as he said that, and she
Speaker 1: clocked it, and she was like she had the second time.
Speaker 1: She goes excuse me, and he goes, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: put my fucking seat back and he's not letting me
Speaker 1: do it. And I wasn't even touching the seat. I
Speaker 1: was because I was sitting facing you know, Lola. I
Speaker 1: was like hunched over.
Speaker 2: So it wasn't the it wasn't Lola crying. It was
Speaker 2: the sea for their combination.
Speaker 1: That's what I thought. And I was she was like,
Speaker 1: excuse me, and he starts flipping out, saying that I'm
Speaker 1: stopping him from putting his seat back, and I was like,
Speaker 1: that's not quite right. And then she spoke to him
Speaker 1: for a little bit. He's clearly not right. He's he
Speaker 1: must be high as a kite. I was just like
Speaker 1: not because then she said, don't react to him. I'm
Speaker 1: going to sort this out. Because I was like, am
Speaker 1: I is this going to end up in a fight
Speaker 1: right now? Like? Am I going to have to if
Speaker 1: he starts coming at me again? You know? I don't. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm like ready for fucking battle.
Speaker 2: Dude, especially in front of your kids.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And then as the air hosty walks off, he
Speaker 1: he's going.
Speaker 2: Shut up.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, Okay, this guy is he's not all there.
Speaker 1: He's not all there. And also a few of the
Speaker 1: people start clocking it now, but I'm not sure what
Speaker 1: normally happens in that scenario. But she the air hosty
Speaker 1: like taps him the shoulder and she just says, don't worry,
Speaker 1: We'll get him off the plane. And so I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: but the issue was and we're waiting, doors are shut
Speaker 1: in the plane. Five minutes go by, ten minutes go by,
Speaker 1: he's still really agitated.
Speaker 2: And so someone sitting next to him, yeah.
Speaker 1: There was. It was another jet Star employee. Luckily, so
Speaker 1: no one in the middle. There's a jet Star employee.
Speaker 1: He was not working, but she was in the window
Speaker 1: seat and she was a young girl as well. She
Speaker 1: was looking a bit worried concerned, and I was thinking
Speaker 1: my mind, like this is going to kick off, like
Speaker 1: this guy is only she's going to get him off
Speaker 1: the plane. And the captain does an announcement and says
Speaker 1: President seating number thirty D. He just goes, we have
Speaker 1: a small issue with someone's booking that we're just figuring
Speaker 1: it out now, so just hold time and we'll be
Speaker 1: up in the air and no time, and then cops
Speaker 1: come on, whoa come on, and they tap on the
Speaker 1: shoulder and they say, hey, there's just been a really
Speaker 1: small problem with your booking and we just also something's
Speaker 1: wrong with your luggage, and you know, to the guy
Speaker 1: and then he goes, I don't have any luggage now,
Speaker 1: and they say, can you can you get off the
Speaker 1: flight come with us. Don't worry, You're still going to
Speaker 1: fly today. They're very good at keeping it calm. You're
Speaker 1: going to be on the next flight.
Speaker 2: To drag that motherfucker off, I was like, get into
Speaker 2: my headline, bunch. He came right for hold his arms back.
Speaker 1: For me, and then I was thinking, this is when
Speaker 1: it's gonna Yeah, you know those scenes you see like
Speaker 1: a video on social media and it's someone like literally
Speaker 1: in a head like getting dragged off the plane. I
Speaker 1: was like, this is about that.
Speaker 2: It's going to happen.
Speaker 1: And luckily he was like, but I'm still going to
Speaker 1: fly today, and they go, yea, you're still flying. You'd
Speaker 1: be on the next flight out here in fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1: And I was like, you're not, gotcha. He gets off
Speaker 1: the plane just.
Speaker 2: Voluntarily gets yes. I wanted to see you on the news.
Speaker 2: Imagine if you were like and it's going to be
Speaker 2: on the news. Tonight and it's just like, you don't
Speaker 2: get carried off.
Speaker 1: But they get him off the plane, and I still like,
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure if he was going to look at
Speaker 1: me and be like you're the reason why I'm getting
Speaker 1: kicked off, you know. And I've got Marley and Lola
Speaker 1: next to me. But also Mom came with us as well.
Speaker 1: Oh that's right before the police came on. Mum was like,
Speaker 1: can you smell something? Because he's I want to assume
Speaker 1: that this this guy hasn't showered for a long time
Speaker 1: as well, so he has quite a pungent smell. So
Speaker 1: Nana is in the next she's like, can you smell something?
Speaker 1: This is whilse we're waiting for the police to come
Speaker 1: and take me and looking at Nana.
Speaker 2: Going shut up, generation has no chill.
Speaker 1: She's like what what? And that guy seems a bit strange,
Speaker 1: doesn't he because he's a talking in tongues by himself.
Speaker 1: And I was like, for god, sec now you shut
Speaker 1: the hell.
Speaker 2: He like, the police can take her with you. I
Speaker 2: imagine your mumbling.
Speaker 1: They go, oh the police are here.
Speaker 2: Something stinks.
Speaker 1: Anyway, he gets off the plane, and I was the
Speaker 1: relief that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can imagine the sigh of relief I was.
Speaker 1: I was in my mind. I was like, I'm going
Speaker 1: to get punched and elbowt in the face right now,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to do it in front of my kids.
Speaker 2: Great for publicity for the podcast, You're like, I'm in
Speaker 2: doting dad, that's to's podcast.
Speaker 1: Look, I'm all for a story as long as knowing
Speaker 1: I'm happy for the story to be this level of extreme.
Speaker 1: I don't want to get hit. I want to find anyone,
Speaker 1: But I do want to give a shout out to
Speaker 1: the jet Star flight attendants, the women on that plane.
Speaker 2: They just killed it.
Speaker 1: They killed it, they dealt with it. They are very professional.
Speaker 2: Now often that happens, well, she.
Speaker 1: Says quite a lot, apparently, really yeah. She was like,
Speaker 1: you'd be surprised. She's like the flight from between Melbourne
Speaker 1: and Sydney. She's like, that's where it happens. Really yeah,
Speaker 1: she said, two weeks ago, the plane was taking off
Speaker 1: and a guy just got out of his seat and
Speaker 1: started flipping out up and down the aisle.
Speaker 2: At what point mid takeoff? You go, now is my time?
Speaker 1: Excuse me?
Speaker 2: Excuse me? He like, does that weird shuffle out from
Speaker 2: the window.
Speaker 1: Just be one second.
Speaker 2: Excuse me, excuse me. Well, I'm glad you made it
Speaker 2: back in one pete, and I can't imagine the week
Speaker 2: you've had not been able to tell me that, So
Speaker 2: I know I can imagine that you would have been
Speaker 2: like on that plane. Guard.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to tells this story. I was in
Speaker 1: the air being buy wi fi tell him. But it
Speaker 1: goes to show one thing. You shouldn't put your seat
Speaker 1: back on a domestic flight.
Speaker 2: No, you shouldn't anyway.
Speaker 1: I don't think.
Speaker 2: I don't think.
Speaker 3: I don't do it. I don't go back unless there's
Speaker 3: no one behind me.
Speaker 1: I'm fucking joking to it. Oh fucking hell.
Speaker 2: No, I'm saying, be courteous. I thought you were serious. Look,
Speaker 2: I'm serious one of us around it.
Speaker 1: It needs to be serious. It's a very good point. Yes,
Speaker 1: I never me myself personally. I never do it on
Speaker 1: a fly.
Speaker 2: I know I'm going to be on Q and A
Speaker 2: this week and that's gonna be one of the questions.
Speaker 2: Do you ever recline your seatback? I never do anything.
Speaker 2: It's inconvenient for the people behind me, but I also
Speaker 2: think if I do it, the people behind me can
Speaker 2: also do it so that evens itself out all the
Speaker 2: way down to the back of the plane.
Speaker 1: Thank you for clarifying. That's okay, thank you. I'm glad.
Speaker 3: I'm glad you made it back in one piece. A
Speaker 3: couple of things happened to me while you're away.
Speaker 1: A couple of you make me laugh. Thank you, you
Speaker 1: make me laugh. Thank you.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm here for. And you can wheel me
Speaker 2: back out.
Speaker 1: What do you got?
Speaker 3: Two things happened to me while you're away. While you
Speaker 3: were making enemies, I was making friends.
Speaker 1: That is not like you at all.
Speaker 2: You know how we spoke about.
Speaker 3: Oscar making a friend, which is Siri, which that's still ongoing.
Speaker 1: But I also made a friend. I'm intrigued.
Speaker 3: So every Thursday is same with me. I have Macy,
Speaker 3: yes Thursday, so we go swimming, try and tuck her out.
Speaker 3: Then we go to rhyme time?
Speaker 2: Okay, which what is rhyme time again? It's a place
Speaker 2: where you go to rhyme now it's at the local library.
Speaker 1: You go there at spitbars. I'm just a tired dad.
Speaker 1: I'm rad No, no, I'm also bad.
Speaker 2: That's terrible.
Speaker 3: Please stop, please stop right now. The download numbers just went.
Speaker 3: So it's a place you go library where they do.
Speaker 3: They sing songs to the kids, they read books like
Speaker 3: a group. It's free, brilliant initiative, I think, because it's
Speaker 3: half an hour.
Speaker 2: For me to sit on my phone while they do that.
Speaker 2: And they're like singing.
Speaker 3: And their kids are all usually a similar age, like
Speaker 3: two three.
Speaker 1: This is just Macy, just Macy.
Speaker 3: So I take Macey every week and she's slowly like
Speaker 3: she's involved for half. She there's the song she likes,
Speaker 3: the song she doesn't like, and she comes back and
Speaker 3: she sits with me, or she grabs a book and
Speaker 3: sits with me.
Speaker 1: What are the song that she doesn't like?
Speaker 2: She doesn't care for days of the week anymore.
Speaker 4: Days of the week, days of the week. Yeah, and
Speaker 4: this Tuesday. You know, this is my story. Macey's a
Speaker 4: bit off it. She's just like I'm up.
Speaker 3: She wants more of the songs that have the props,
Speaker 3: the ribbons.
Speaker 5: The shakers, big parachute and they all go under underneath it,
Speaker 5: or like a song that goes and they all fall
Speaker 5: down and they.
Speaker 3: All fall down, and then like walks are boring. Let's
Speaker 3: be honest, it's just someone reading and read it. So
Speaker 3: she gets her own book and comes over to me,
Speaker 3: and usually that's snack time. So I was like, okay,
Speaker 3: having snacks. And she pulled out a bag, a little bag.
Speaker 2: Of the little cookies that she had, chocolate chip cookies,
Speaker 2: and I was like, daddy, you have one of those two.
Speaker 3: I opened it, she grabbed one, walked away to go
Speaker 3: and do your ohyme time the cookies. The opening of
Speaker 3: the cookies has attracted a small young boy.
Speaker 1: The sound well come out of nowhere. He's like, what
Speaker 1: do you go there?
Speaker 2: What do you got? He come over and I was like.
Speaker 1: That rustle, the aluminium kind of like plastic rustle. I
Speaker 1: can hear that from mild is.
Speaker 2: To retain the freshness of the cookies.
Speaker 1: That's what that is.
Speaker 2: Anyway, you shouldn't. I have learned, not the hard way,
Speaker 2: but I've learned that you don't just give another kid
Speaker 2: cookie cause.
Speaker 1: You got an allergy.
Speaker 2: Might have analergy.
Speaker 1: So I sort of that is very intelligent for anyway,
Speaker 1: So het April taught you that, Oh absolutely.
Speaker 3: So he put his hand on my knee because we're
Speaker 3: sitting on the ground like like Buster would do when
Speaker 3: he wants something.
Speaker 1: He's like, just to let you know that he's there.
Speaker 2: I'm here. He's like tapping, I'm right here, thank you sir.
Speaker 2: And I was like trying to ignore him, awkward, like
Speaker 2: I don't know what. I don't know what, like what
Speaker 2: the difference between just moving your head like this is.
Speaker 2: But when you're trying to not let them know that
Speaker 2: you're not, you're trying to ignore them your whole buddy,
Speaker 2: putting your back to them.
Speaker 3: Anyway, the mum comes over and she was like, it's
Speaker 3: so sorry, and she was like, he loves cookies. I
Speaker 3: was obviously, so I took that as if like he'll
Speaker 3: get one, and I was like, oh, you can have what.
Speaker 3: She's like, no, no, it's okay. He's got his own.
Speaker 1: And I was like she took the homemade Were they
Speaker 1: bought cookies?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Homemade? Who do you think I am?
Speaker 1: Crocker favores. What have we got?
Speaker 2: No wet? They just chok the chip cookies?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Classic. So he's he's gone off anyway, makes she's come
Speaker 2: back to get another cookie and guess who reappears?
Speaker 1: And I went, there you go and the cookie and
Speaker 1: you haven't killed the child, have you.
Speaker 2: He's like, don't ruin my story. No, No, he's given
Speaker 2: attle lot of approval, driffed off, and I thought, oh,
Speaker 2: that's it. Anyway, one is never enough, and other song's
Speaker 2: gone by, he's obviously finished the cookie, and he reappears,
Speaker 2: and like this time he came back with much more confidence.
Speaker 1: He was like, fucking give us one.
Speaker 2: And he's like walking across these kids, like knocking kids
Speaker 2: out of the way as I'm getting this cookie.
Speaker 1: So it's rummaging through your pockets.
Speaker 2: First of all, I was like, that's all right, got
Speaker 2: another cookie, took off, and I thought that's got to
Speaker 2: be it. That's surely that's got to be it.
Speaker 3: And then he's come back again, and I'm like, where
Speaker 3: the fuck is this?
Speaker 2: Mum gone. She's obviously just watching this all unfold.
Speaker 3: Anyway, by the time we'd finished the thing of cookies,
Speaker 3: he's sitting next to me and we're.
Speaker 2: Like doing her right time together.
Speaker 3: Anyway, twenty minutes he's out there and we're doing all
Speaker 3: the wrong times. Macey's coming back and forth as well.
Speaker 1: Do it or is she like? Because sometimes they're like
Speaker 1: my daddy.
Speaker 3: She was sweet, she was sweet, We'll fine, and then
Speaker 3: I make she's come over for some water and he
Speaker 3: was like, what else, Like that's by the end of it,
Speaker 3: and it was like and then the rhyme time wraps up.
Speaker 3: The mums come out of nowhere. She's obviously watched the
Speaker 3: whole thing unfold. She's like, she's great, this guy's got
Speaker 3: him all good. She comes back home and she's like,
Speaker 3: thank you. See oh bye, like I worked there. She's
Speaker 3: taken off with my new friend.
Speaker 1: You just saved yourself paying for lunch. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So anyway, I've got a new friend now, so hopefully
Speaker 3: he's that rum time if he's listening.
Speaker 1: There's no greater compliment, I think than a child just
Speaker 1: instantly being drawn towards you. Yeah. Yes, it's annoying, but
Speaker 1: you know you're a you have a warm presence.
Speaker 2: I know I never make I don't make a lot
Speaker 2: of friends. I wonder why that is.
Speaker 1: It's nice to see you smile as well.
Speaker 3: Anyway, that was one thing that happened over the time
Speaker 3: that you're away.
Speaker 2: So I've got a new friend now. I don't know
Speaker 2: his name.
Speaker 1: I know, like, did you see a regular visitor to
Speaker 1: run time?
Speaker 2: I'll find out when I go back this week. I
Speaker 2: didn't get to go.
Speaker 1: He's probably going to start spreading the word as well
Speaker 1: as like you guys want some cookies.
Speaker 2: Dealer?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Them up?
Speaker 2: The last question give I want to call that for you.
Speaker 3: Both your kid and my kid are at the age
Speaker 3: that next year they're going to big school.
Speaker 1: Yes, so we have enrolled daycare fees.
Speaker 2: What's up public school? Anyway?
Speaker 3: We we enrolled Oscar into a local school near me
Speaker 3: and it turns out to be the school that I
Speaker 3: went to as a child.
Speaker 1: This is a question for April, but I'll ask you
Speaker 1: when do you have to enroll them by? I haven't
Speaker 1: enrolled Marley. Now you have to do it now.
Speaker 2: You should have done it by now. Really.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but if you're in the catchment, are they forced
Speaker 1: to take you? No?
Speaker 3: Okay, no, because you're I would find that your catchment
Speaker 3: falls into a couple of different schools.
Speaker 1: Ship.
Speaker 5: So the thing is you remind me after we finished recording,
Speaker 5: because because if you if they're like, okay, we've got
Speaker 5: this amount of kids from the catchment, we'll start to
Speaker 5: take people out of area.
Speaker 1: Fuck.
Speaker 2: Yes, just be careful. Hopefully I'm helping you here. So
Speaker 2: we did.
Speaker 3: We had an open day, so it was an over
Speaker 3: day where you go with your kid. I'm not going
Speaker 3: to name the school because they're for privacy reasons. Obviously
Speaker 3: it's but it was a school I went to as
Speaker 3: a kid, okay, And we drove in and immediately I
Speaker 3: was like.
Speaker 2: This is fucking weird. Yeah so weird.
Speaker 1: Has it changed much?
Speaker 3: It's exactly the same, exactly so much so, like went
Speaker 3: down the track to the school to the school entrance,
Speaker 3: were lining up to do your check in, because I
Speaker 3: mean it is a school.
Speaker 2: You got to check in and they do a quick
Speaker 2: police check make sure't it.
Speaker 3: But like, you know, and all my friends that I'm
Speaker 3: still friends with, the guys I went to school with
Speaker 3: there like close, like we hang out every day, which
Speaker 3: is wow.
Speaker 2: Wild. It was weird. It was kind of this weird nostalgic.
Speaker 3: Moment where you're like, you know where, like you're walking
Speaker 3: past things that you're like, holy shit, I remember when
Speaker 3: this happened here, and do you do you know.
Speaker 1: What I find the weirdest thing about going back to
Speaker 1: primary school is that everything's so tiny. Do you find
Speaker 1: that like when you were oh yeah yeah yeah, when
Speaker 1: you were they're like where you would put your bags
Speaker 1: or the bubblers. Everything is fucking miniature it's so small. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you're like, I feel like a giant going back
Speaker 1: in there.
Speaker 3: Nothing absolutely nothing has changed. Obviously technology and updating of
Speaker 3: current things. But like you walk through the office and
Speaker 3: I was like, holy shit. I was like, that's sick Bay,
Speaker 3: still sick Bay. That's the principal's office, Still the principal's offer.
Speaker 1: Any teacher's still there. I get the back.
Speaker 3: We're on this tour and I'm walking we walk out
Speaker 3: of the office, so this thing that overlooks the whole
Speaker 3: playground identical. Nothing has fucking changed whatsoever. And I'm in
Speaker 3: I'm spinning out. I'm like, it's the school that shaped me.
Speaker 3: And it's like.
Speaker 2: You start to remember little bits and pieces of like memories,
Speaker 2: memories flooding. I was just like spin it out and
Speaker 2: I was like, holy shit, nothing has changed. And the
Speaker 2: vice principal was right behind me and she was like,
Speaker 2: did you used to go here? I said, I went
Speaker 2: to this school twenty two years ago.
Speaker 1: Shit, we're old.
Speaker 3: I know that's when I left. I was like, I
Speaker 3: had been there for five years prior to when I
Speaker 3: had left. And she was like, oh, is it what
Speaker 3: you know? Is it the same?
Speaker 2: I'm like it's grabbing.
Speaker 3: I'm like, woman, nothing PTSD is killing me.
Speaker 2: Thankfully I had. Thankfully, I have nothing.
Speaker 3: But very good memories from primary school. It wasn't a
Speaker 3: traumatic time for me. It was the only school that
Speaker 3: I went to for the whole time. Actually, no, it's
Speaker 3: the longest school that I spent time at. After that,
Speaker 3: the memory is hazy.
Speaker 1: But she was like, oh, that's great. So it's all
Speaker 1: the same.
Speaker 3: I'm like, everything is the same, like the red brick,
Speaker 3: nothing has changed whatsoever. There's plaques and stuff on the
Speaker 3: ground with people's names on it from when I was
Speaker 3: at school, and teachers.
Speaker 1: And so it's all the same.
Speaker 3: She was like, oh, do you remember any teachers. I
Speaker 3: was like, yeah, I had this one teacher and I
Speaker 3: told her the teacher's name.
Speaker 2: She goes, yep, she's still here.
Speaker 1: I was like, fuck off, surely that'll be dead by now.
Speaker 2: A couple of them are dead. One of them done
Speaker 2: in a boating accident. That was rumor.
Speaker 3: That's not going to do, but you start. It was funny,
Speaker 3: like walking through watching Oscar, you know. We went to
Speaker 3: a couple of the classrooms and I was like, I remember.
Speaker 1: This teachers that they're holding hands with the kids and
Speaker 1: you're just there rocking in the corner of a classroom,
Speaker 1: inside a classroom rade threes, being like time goes so quickly,
Speaker 1: I enjoy every second.
Speaker 2: There was a combination of that and April like crying
Speaker 2: because just like realizing that their kids. And I was
Speaker 2: just like where these weird couple were.
Speaker 1: I'm just like.
Speaker 2: Rocking in the corner. And I was like, it's growing
Speaker 2: up so fast?
Speaker 1: The other parents are they crying?
Speaker 2: Normal? Anyway, We're doing the tour, and it was like
Speaker 2: I kept having these flashbacks of moments. And we went
Speaker 2: to the hall. They have a big hall.
Speaker 3: The hall is exactly the same, and they were doing
Speaker 3: like a dance class, like the year six was doing
Speaker 3: a dance class, and I just had this memory come
Speaker 3: flooding back. So when I was like, it must have
Speaker 3: been year four or year five or something like that,
Speaker 3: and so that how it would it be, say ten
Speaker 3: and me and all the friends that I still am
Speaker 3: friends with. Now, this teacher started an all boys dance class.
Speaker 2: And she was like recruiting all these boys.
Speaker 1: Comes a suspect.
Speaker 3: But like she was just like wanting to be wanting
Speaker 3: to get more inclusive of just the girls doing the dance.
Speaker 1: She's now in prison.
Speaker 2: We'll get there.
Speaker 1: It turns out she was grooming us all. She grooms
Speaker 1: all that.
Speaker 2: It's actually quite a sad story, this one. So sorry.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 1: It was as she was when who died in the
Speaker 1: boating accident.
Speaker 2: No, it's a funny, sad memory. Funny for me, sad
Speaker 2: for her. So she's gone.
Speaker 3: She's spent all this time recruiting all these boys to
Speaker 3: do it, and we were like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, this would be SIGNI like hip hop dancing.
Speaker 2: Oh god, sad.
Speaker 3: Anyway, so she's recruited this all and then we did
Speaker 3: a couple of classes and all of the boys.
Speaker 2: Realized that this is they're good. This is not good.
Speaker 2: We don't like this, so we all quit it once.
Speaker 3: Anyway, the teacher cried, I know, I know, but straight
Speaker 3: away I went to the group chat today or like
Speaker 3: that on the day of being like, hey, I'm currently
Speaker 3: at school having all these nostalgic memories, and I remember
Speaker 3: that this came up.
Speaker 2: Kids are savage. That's a savage thing to do.
Speaker 1: But she's got she's got to understand.
Speaker 2: She befull cried, dude, we all got in trouble. We
Speaker 2: all got in trouble, not in trouble, but we all.
Speaker 3: Got like a hey, guys, look you've really disappointed this teacher.
Speaker 1: And we were like, always want to run around the
Speaker 1: oval and tackle each tease each other. I don't want
Speaker 1: to learn how to do a six step.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly right.
Speaker 3: That's another thing that like you start remembering all the
Speaker 3: embarrassing things that you did and you're like, oh god,
Speaker 3: why am I so sad. So in that young age,
Speaker 3: say year five, year six, you start to develop, you know,
Speaker 3: You're like, oh, she's hot, you know, little girl like
Speaker 3: you know, you start to.
Speaker 1: Have attracted to the I used to have a ruler
Speaker 1: that had do you still with a girl called Mallory
Speaker 1: and I the ruler, and she would read it and
Speaker 1: be like yeah, and then she'd have written on a
Speaker 1: rubber and he'd be like do you still and you'd
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, we still liked each other.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So you start to like girls and stuff
Speaker 3: like that. So there was a girl that I really like,
Speaker 3: really liked at the time. My mates were like, yeah,
Speaker 3: de to do it, to do it anyway? I went
Speaker 3: at one lunchtime. It was like getting to the point like, yeah,
Speaker 3: de to do it, to do it. She was like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm keen. Yeah, I'm keen. She was keen for the kids,
Speaker 3: which is great. You know, I'm developing as a young

Speaker 2: Eleven or twelve okay was twelve, I feel reasons twelve.
Speaker 1: She was eight.

Speaker 2: other stuff that was gone through this group chat now
Speaker 2: that we're like.

Speaker 1: forget how horrid teenagers are when they're like amongst each
Speaker 1: other in groups groups of teenagers, like that's a fun

Speaker 1: So I wanted to get there not too early, because
Speaker 1: we all know the trailers and the adverts. Kids don't
Speaker 1: care for that. They just want to get stranged the action.
Speaker 1: So I thought I'll time it so we kind of
Speaker 1: get in there. The movie started, but I timed it
Speaker 1: a bit too late, so it was really dark, and
Speaker 1: I couldn't fucking figure out. I don't go the movies hardly, ever,
Speaker 1: I couldn't figure out.
Speaker 2: I was like, c D fine, yeah, because it meant
Speaker 2: that they never used to be seat allocations. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: do you know why they do that now?
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I was just gonna make something up,
Speaker 2: but I was.
Speaker 1: Fucking ready for it. But I was trying to find
Speaker 1: my seat and I was also looking at all the

Speaker 1: in the wrong spot. So I go to the other
Speaker 1: side of the cinemat Marley and Lawla are like fuck, Dad,
Speaker 1: like grab a seat and go back to the other side.
Speaker 1: And these girls, these teenagers, I'm like, you're in my
Speaker 1: seat and they're like, no one, And I said, you're like, here's.
Speaker 2: My joying to break your nose, and the cycle. The
Speaker 2: cycle continues.

Speaker 1: I'm hungry, and I'm like, God, i's gotta keep it down.
Speaker 1: The cinema was full of adults and nightmare teenagers, and
Speaker 1: I just had this wild anxiety of the fact that
Speaker 1: I'm ruining the movie experience other people. You know, moment
Speaker 1: that comedy show your own varge barking to come in
Speaker 1: and be like get out. Well, I kind of thought
Speaker 1: that people might start you saying like get those kids

Speaker 1: and empty the water compartment so we can have a
Speaker 1: taste of his own medicine. He has no idea that
Speaker 1: I do this, So the next morning he's got no water.

Speaker 3: It's great, difficult for the very good, very good. I
Speaker 3: like it getting back just like the way, just like
Speaker 3: this is the thing. He's probably going getting up in
Speaker 3: the morning and going.

Speaker 1: Yes, she must have drunk twelve coffees yesterday? What the fuck?
Speaker 2: No one is she's still awake?
Speaker 1: Very good?
Speaker 2: Like love it.
Speaker 1: A couple of questions, Ash, before.
Speaker 3: You do that, if you do have any other petty
Speaker 3: things that you do to your partner or your partner
Speaker 3: does to you, or whatever it might be.
Speaker 2: You can d m us at two doing dad's Instagram.
Speaker 3: Or you can email us at hello hello at dot com.
Speaker 2: They know dot com.

Speaker 1: even know. Just yeah, we'll find out somewhere. You'll find us.
Speaker 1: Someone did right on Instagram and I'm like, you guys,
Speaker 1: you guys need to grow up your adults. And I
Speaker 1: was like, you shut up, what do you mean grow up?
Speaker 2: Yes, this is a parenting podcast, none of two children.
Speaker 2: But don't get it. What do they mean by.
Speaker 1: Those that they thought the pettiness was such childlike behalf?
Speaker 2: Oh god, have a laugh.
Speaker 1: It was April. Yeah, we love April. Take it out,
Speaker 1: do we? Hello? Okay, that's the whole point. That's the
Speaker 1: whole one.
Speaker 2: That's the whole point.
Speaker 1: That's the whole that's a that's a stick ash. Before
Speaker 1: we get into the questions, there is a listener that
Speaker 1: has written in posts recommendation from us after our listener.
Speaker 2: We don't recommend anything, so that's their mistake.
Speaker 1: Oh god, what's she going to say? Duena, she's talking
Speaker 1: about the biting segment that we had. Oh yeah, she says, hey, guys,
Speaker 1: you kind of funked me over. Oh god, a little bit.
Speaker 1: I finally, I finally bit the bullet is a review
Speaker 1: pardon the pun and gave my two year old a
Speaker 1: chump after he was biting me. Oh okay, okay. It
Speaker 1: initially worked, but twenty minutes later he is having a
Speaker 1: full blown meltdown because he wants me to bite him again.
Speaker 1: He's shoving his arm in my mouth, screaming bite.
Speaker 2: So the new kink unlocks just like that. Well, you've
Speaker 2: set him up for failure now, Oh god?
Speaker 1: Moving on? So can we block her from the podcast?
Speaker 1: Is she going to come for us?
Speaker 2: Nah? The kid make.
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 3: Back to questions that hopefully don't bite us in the butt.
Speaker 3: This is from Jenny. Have you ever lost a child before?
Speaker 1: Many times.
Speaker 2: My first three children I've lost. I've never found them.
Speaker 1: We've lost We've lost all kids. Marley is probably the
Speaker 1: one we've lost the most.
Speaker 2: Your kids out runners though.
Speaker 1: Mary's a runner. Yeah, she's a runner. Yeah. We thought
Speaker 1: about it, We thought about it. We've lost her a
Speaker 1: few times. Once. It was quite it's quite scary at
Speaker 1: the beach, you know, when you just you're digging a hole.
Speaker 2: And you live at Bondai, so you're like, oh, we're going.
Speaker 1: To be on TV. Literally, I was digging a hole
Speaker 1: and I was just one of those cases where I
Speaker 1: had Lola. I thought Laura had Marley. She that I
Speaker 1: had Marley, and then there was a couple of minutes
Speaker 1: where we couldn't find it and we're like fuck. Luckily,
Speaker 1: shout out to the lifeguards. They had he and the
Speaker 1: film grew. She was he was up in the promenade.
Speaker 1: She's just gone for gone for an ice cream.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But when we've been shopping as well, there's been
Speaker 1: times where once once at Rebel Sport, I was like,
Speaker 1: where the hell is my door? She locked herself in
Speaker 1: the change room. You've spoken about losing Macy inside the house,
Speaker 1: which is a great effort. Yeah, it's in public, not
Speaker 1: to not to judge you, but I would say you're
Speaker 1: someone who I would expect to lose the kids.
Speaker 2: Back and an insult ship. I never lost a child,
Speaker 2: so look at yourself for their champ and nothing springs
Speaker 2: to mind that.
Speaker 3: I maybe there's been like the way you go, I
Speaker 3: reckon that, do.
Speaker 2: You know where Macy is? And aprils like no, and
Speaker 2: you're like, oh shoo, but then she's like right there.
Speaker 1: I reckon this so many times you've lost the kids
Speaker 1: for like a day or two, and you're.
Speaker 2: Like, oh, nothing, used to admit to anything. Nothing springs
Speaker 2: to mind because I've got evidence.
Speaker 1: This is a long question. This is a long one.
Speaker 2: Ready for it? Okay?
Speaker 1: Is it going to be as long as my long
Speaker 1: Winter story? As long as it's from anonymous, you can't
Speaker 1: laugh at yourself. I've been I've been with my partner
Speaker 1: for almost a year, and I've noticed some differences in
Speaker 1: our parenting styles. He has a four year old daughter,
Speaker 1: and while he's raised her well, I've observed some things
Speaker 1: that bother me. I'm hesitant to bring them up because
Speaker 1: I'm not her mother, but I'm concerned about the inconsistency
Speaker 1: and discipline and his approach to her diet and exercise.
Speaker 1: It's making me reluctant to be around them as much
Speaker 1: on the days he has her. I'm worried about how
Speaker 1: this might affect us if we have our own children
Speaker 1: in the future. I'm just going to say, straight off
Speaker 1: the bat, I don't know anyone who's got a diet
Speaker 1: slash exercise plan for their kid who's four a four
Speaker 1: year old, that's a bit that's a bit excessive.
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously, let's just think let's think of that
Speaker 3: as like maybe she's just worried that she's not getting
Speaker 3: out enough and burning energy, and.
Speaker 2: She might be living in the iPad, living on the iPad.
Speaker 2: Let's just go with like not like a Monday's chest day,
Speaker 2: bra he steps in, like where's your gains? And then
Speaker 2: probably the fort and that's all we have time for.
Speaker 3: No, I would say, like, Okay, there's a couple of
Speaker 3: things here that let's go with. Maybe the diets maybe
Speaker 3: not that great, but how long they've been together a year?
Speaker 1: A year, so let's say it's getting serious.
Speaker 3: It could be getting serious. She lives the issue of
Speaker 3: primary care alongside. Does she have kids of her own?
Speaker 3: What makes her think that it's incorrect? How does she
Speaker 3: know I incorrect?
Speaker 1: She's she's probably saying it's hard when you want to
Speaker 1: you want to have consistency with discipline, Like the rules
Speaker 1: need to be the same. It doesn't matter what the
Speaker 1: other the weekend.
Speaker 3: If he's if he's only got her for two days
Speaker 3: a fortnight or a week or whatever. I don't know
Speaker 3: what the situation is. You kind of want to just
Speaker 3: kill them with kind and they love.
Speaker 1: But that's the fucking wrong thing to do.
Speaker 3: I absolutely could be the wrong thing to do. I
Speaker 3: don't think it's her place to butt in. If it
Speaker 3: was like, hey, I am considered to be a primary
Speaker 3: care alongside you.
Speaker 2: We need to be on the same page.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got it. I've got it. I've got it.
Speaker 1: Because she could approach it from the perspective that she goes, Hey,
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure that we're on the
Speaker 1: same page with the rules of the house while she's here,
Speaker 1: because I don't want to say that she can't do
Speaker 1: something when she actually can, So she's going to put
Speaker 1: it on herself instead of saying, you're disciplining your kid
Speaker 1: in the rocknel correctly?
Speaker 2: What rong?
Speaker 1: Like hey, whatever, Whether it's like she kind of ipaid
Speaker 1: after a certain time, she could say, just want to
Speaker 1: make sure, like, what are the rules that we're going
Speaker 1: to try and stick by together as a team for
Speaker 1: when the daughter's here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fair enough, that's fair.
Speaker 3: I don't think you need to be like, hey, you're
Speaker 3: doing it wrong, because one, who are you to tell
Speaker 3: someone a parent that they're doing their parenting wrong, especially
Speaker 3: if you're on a parent yourself.
Speaker 2: How the fuck would you know? But I think it's
Speaker 2: fair enough to say.
Speaker 3: Hey, when when when you're looking after and I'm here
Speaker 3: full time with you and i'm technically a care as well,
Speaker 3: we need to tackle it together.
Speaker 2: We need to be on the same page.
Speaker 3: Yes, there can be some leniency with things because you
Speaker 3: only have a for x amount of time, but then
Speaker 3: also if we're going to be together long term and
Speaker 3: us have kids together, we need to be on the
Speaker 3: same page as that stuff as well.
Speaker 1: There is nothing more important than a united front.
Speaker 3: There's a difference between saying something and having a conversation
Speaker 3: about something.
Speaker 2: That's my answer.
Speaker 1: Whenever Marley asks for something, I'm always like, yes, no,
Speaker 1: I just got to ask you mother, Yeah, ask you Mary.
Speaker 2: But like it is just look, I'm not going to
Speaker 2: I'm not going to take I actually I can't take
Speaker 2: a side because I don't know the full story.
Speaker 3: But what I would say is, don't talk to it. No,
Speaker 3: don't talk to me about it, have a conversation about it.
Speaker 2: Am I a genius? Yes?
Speaker 1: What's the difference between talking to them and having.
Speaker 3: Well, you can talk to someone, or you could be like, hey,
Speaker 3: can we just talk about and have a conversation about
Speaker 3: you know, maybe if we're going to be having kids
Speaker 3: in the future, we're going to be long time. Don't
Speaker 3: just be like, I think your parenting's wrong. That's the difference.
Speaker 1: We don't let the kids have soft drink. It's too spicy,
Speaker 1: too spicy. But Molly was like, can I have some.
Speaker 1: We've got a family pack from the seafood Shop which
Speaker 1: came with a one point two five bottle of cod.
Speaker 2: You're like, drink the whole thing.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I'll give you some when mom's
Speaker 1: not looking. And then she was like, ah, it's burning
Speaker 1: my tart.
Speaker 2: I just like, where's the bourbon?
Speaker 1: And I was like, I was like, don't tell your mother.
Speaker 1: And then Laura came in and she was like, the
Speaker 1: drink hurt me.
Speaker 3: And I was like, my kids don't drink much more
Speaker 3: than water, honestly, like just on that they've tried a
Speaker 3: bit of like coke coca cola, because coke be confusing.
Speaker 2: She was just like, it's no good.
Speaker 1: That's cut with something.
Speaker 2: It's that creating. Yeah, and they'll be like, oh, that's spicy.
Speaker 2: Which is great.
Speaker 3: And then also like with juice and stuff, I'll be like,
Speaker 3: you can have a juice if you fishally dinner, that
Speaker 3: won't be like yeah, diet the fuck out like this
Speaker 3: apple juice tastes like shit.
Speaker 2: They all taste like that.
