162
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 2: Not that I've done that before, but I was edging

163
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: the crowd with the football. I was like, who wants

164
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 2: it over here?

165
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: Over here?

166
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: People like, just give us the ball.

167
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 3: Fucking hell man, you punted it out there beautifully.

168
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: The weasel, the weasel has been birth.

169
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 2: It's the beginning of the weasel. And then from that

170
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,239
Speaker 2: moment on it the weasel just got hungrier and hungrier.

171
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 2: He wanted more. He was no longer satisfied with just

172
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 2: being an everyday punter going to the football.

173
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 3: At one point we were in a nightclub and I

174
00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 3: was like, film the stage.

175
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: I came back like two minutes. And then the next

176
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: day You're like, why have I got a video on

177
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: my phone of just me filming the stage? I was like,

178
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: because I was meant to be on it.

179
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: Did you ask anyone to get up there?

180
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: I was like, at this stage, I like, get out

181
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: of here. Yesterday, big man.

182
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 2: Soya on the Saturday where the game was being played

183
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 2: being your beloved mainly Sea Eagles versus the South Sydney Rabbits,

184
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 2: and before that game had started, we managed to get

185
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 2: into a very special area within the stadium. We had

186
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 2: pretty good tickets. And the different thing about the stadium

187
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas, I don't know if it's the same

188
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 2: as every stadium around the States, is that there's like

189
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 2: an underground bar.

190
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's under the it's under the stands on ground

191
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 3: level where the players come out.

192
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that they would be in the bigger stadiums

193
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: over there. It's kind of like something they've implemented.

194
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: It's pretty cool because we managed to. I followed the Weasel,

195
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: we got down there. We found a wristband that allowed

196
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 2: us access to that bar. Yea thank you to the Weasel.

197
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's unique and that as the players come

198
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 2: out of the change rooms, you're there at the bar,

199
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,719
Speaker 2: but you're also in arm's length of.

200
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 1: The players, just shaking all their hands as they run

201
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: back and forth.

202
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean people are held back with a ballard

203
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 2: and a rope, not me, and I guess I don't

204
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 2: know if it's because we people had seen us on

205
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 2: that stage before on the fans own area, maybe they

206
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 2: knew who we were. But all of a sudden, we

207
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 2: kind of just had the ability, well youwed it anyway,

208
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 2: to do whatever we wanted to do, whatever you wanted.

209
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: Mate, we were on.

210
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 3: The field, walking around, hyping the crowd up. On the field,

211
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 3: they miked us up, they followed us.

212
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: Around with the camera. We're hyping up.

213
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 3: They kicked a ball into the crowd all of a sudden,

214
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 3: that everyone was there for us and not for the game.

215
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if you recall, Ash, there was a

216
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 2: moment before the game had started. You were on the

217
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 2: field and we're both standing there. We're just absorbing the atmosphere.

218
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: Crazy.

219
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 2: We were like sponges.

220
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: You a stadium too. You just hear the vibration, love it, and.

221
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 2: It's an opportunity that you and I like. I doubt

222
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 2: whether it'll ever happen again.

223
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: We shouldn't have been there.

224
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a moment where as were standing there,

225
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 2: there was someone walking over and couldn't quite see who

226
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 2: it was because they were too far away, But he

227
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 2: was being flanked by I want to say, like six

228
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 2: security guards. Like I thought for a second it may

229
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 2: have been the president. Imagine it wasn't Joe Biden. Beautiful,

230
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 2: it wasn't sure who it was. You still had the

231
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 2: football in your hand, and you know, as we had

232
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 2: learnt previously from the fans owe area edging the crowd,

233
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 2: it's a tea. It's a tea. So you know, you

234
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 2: looked at this guy coming over and you had the

235
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 2: football in your hand, and you're like, oh, I'll tease

236
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 2: him with the football.

237
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 3: I'll have to look at his eyes, like I really

238
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 3: want that guy to pass me in football.

239
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 2: And so then after a few teasers, you pass the

240
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 2: ball over, he catches it. Everyone's having fun here, we're

241
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 2: all have a good time. I kind of then realized

242
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 2: who it was. I don't know if you did, because

243
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 2: as you came to everyone stopped. Everyone stopped, they looked

244
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: at who this person was. And you're still there, like

245
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 2: bouncing around, having fun. You're still in the mode of

246
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 2: like pumping up the crowd. Yeah, And as he came closer,

247
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 2: you said like, hey, let's let's get a photo.

248
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: I was like, thanks for having this, let's get a photo.

249
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 2: You wrap you arm around him, Yeah, look at a headlock.

250
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 2: You're like, you're like, co me get little monal and.

251
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: You're not knowing who this was.

252
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 2: Yes, And then afterwards everyone there was silence.

253
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: The whole stadium was you could.

254
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 2: Hear a pin drop and we look around and I

255
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 2: knew who it was. You my friend, You're my friend.

256
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 2: He may as well have been the president, essentially the president.

257
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: His name is Lachlan Murdock.

258
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 1: Yeah. I have since learned he.

259
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 2: Is arguably one of the most powerful medium oguls in

260
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 2: the entire world. He is the owner of Fox.

261
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 3: And I only found this out after and Carl from KO,

262
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 3: who we went with, was like, do.

263
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: You know who that is?

264
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 3: I was like, and then the ball dropped and I

265
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 3: was like, he's just a person, Like.

266
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 2: He is just a person who has But am I

267
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 2: men's power?

268
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 3: Would you say I'm the only person who got a

269
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 3: photo with him.

270
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 2: I can't believe that. Yeah, I think we'll put the

271
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 2: photo on socials. I think right right now his security

272
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 2: team would be having a meeting being like, how was

273
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,359
Speaker 2: a breach of such high.

274
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: He did have? Like because I remember I was like,

275
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: he was walking along the sideline.

276
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 2: You could have if you had you could have stabbed him.

277
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: He had a few a few people around him. I

278
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: just thought that were his mates.

279
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 2: Who happened to have black suits on. And I'm pretty

280
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 2: sure they were carrying weapons.

281
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because we were in America. I forgot that

282
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: really quickly to look or can I also just say

283
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: I'm very opportunistic?

284
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 2: Can I also just say, lastly, last bit of feedback

285
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 2: on the weasel. After the trip had taken place, there

286
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 2: was an email sent by a certain somebody who is like,

287
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 2: here's the head of Fox in Australia, and it was

288
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 2: a lovely email. I'm just going to like, hang on,

289
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 2: let me just let me just read some of this.

290
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 1: Yes, and I didn't even read the email.

291
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 2: There's roughly there's sixty people who are also seated. Yes,

292
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 2: it's it's the big dogs. I'm not sure how we

293
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 2: got on that email list, but he's saying along the

294
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: lines of I hope you're as proud as I am

295
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 2: for what we did over there. Every one of you

296
00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 2: deserves high praise for the professionalism, performance and attitude that

297
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 2: brought us together and allowed us to go the extra mile.

298
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: The finest show of teamwork I can remember in our business.

299
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: I'm taking credit for that, though.

300
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: Hang on, We're teammates forever now. That's how these triumphs work.

301

00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 2: nice touch. It was a lovely way to end the trip.

305
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 2: One person replies and it's a reply, all yeah, baby,

306
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:47,120

Speaker 2: the Weasel.

310
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 3: Oh, I just had to just put my final stamp

311
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 3: on the whole trip, and just to remind them who

312
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 3: they're fucking dealing with, all right. I sent that yesterday

313
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 3: in the car after chatting to you, and I was

314
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 3: in front of the KINDI waiting to pick oscar, and I.

315
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,040

00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 4: and then and then, very promptly, the Ko, the head

Speaker 2: So good to be back. Look, it is good to

330
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 2: be back. My heart bleeds for the fact that my

331
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 2: beloved Broncos lost against the Roosters. It's now the last

332
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 2: two games that I've been watching they have lost, Yes,

333
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 2: and it hurts. The NRL is a it's a cool.

334
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: Mistress, cool mistress.

335
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 2: It's the highest of highs.

336
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: The lowest of them of course. So Matt.

337
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 3: Round two of NRL is an absolute crack out.

338
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 2: What do we have, my friend, give it to me.

339
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 3: We have the Sharks and the Bulldogs on Friday Night,

340
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 3: followed by an epic and I mean airpic first for

00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 3: the year too, Super Saturday of three games back to

342
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,600

00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 3: available on KO and ASH.

344
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 2: If that's not enough footy for you, we've got Round

345
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 2: one of the AFL Premiership season. Yes, I do just

346
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 2: want to say, really quickly shout out to maxign good

347
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 2: front of the podcast. Game one against the Swans didn't

348
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 2: win postmatch controversial. It was controversial. I think I kind

349
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: of got smashed a bit by the Swans. But that's

350
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 2: enough about Maxgon and Essendon. We have, in fact coming up,

351
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 2: we got Carlton versus Richmond that's on Thursday, Essendon versus

352
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 2: Hawthorne on Saturday, and Geelong versus the Cats on Saturday.

353
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 2: And I will just remind everyone that every game of

354
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 2: every round is live and ad break free in play.

355
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 3: Yes, and if you knew to KO, get on board

356
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 3: and start your seven day free trial right now.

357
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 2: And there was a point I think it was like

358
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 2: the second last day, I was getting a little bit homesick.

359
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 2: I was getting videos from Lawa of the girls and

360
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 2: none of your girls, and I think it was the

361
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 2: longest time I've been away from the kids and I

362
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 2: was really missing them.

363
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: I got back and I didn't get to see my kids.

364
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 3: As tired as I was after twenty four hours of

365
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 3: commuting home from a seven day trip in which sleep

366
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 3: was minimal.

367
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: Other than that one day in the middle, I had

368
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: to turn around and drive three hours south.

369
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 3: I had to go mc a wedding in the South Coast,

370
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 3: so I didn't get to go and see my kids.

371
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 3: They were both at KINDI when I got there, and

372
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 3: I remember being like, I just want.

373
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: To stay here and wait for them to come home.

374
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 2: But that's the nicest thing I think I've heard you say.

375
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 1: I know it is.

376
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 3: It is and it was, and that's the truth. That's

377
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 3: the truth. I'm not making it up.

378
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 2: For Cloud the Weazel wanted to see his litter.

379
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 3: I wanted from one of the little weaselets for a

380
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 3: better phrase, I want to see thetls the weasel children.

381
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: But I couldn't.

382
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 3: I had to take off again, drive three hours south

383
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 3: to MC a friend's wedding. Congratulations to Mitchell Keeley if

384
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 3: they are listening, which I probably not because I don't

385
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 3: have kids.

386
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 1: But yes, I eventually two days after.

387
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 3: That, I did get to see my kids again, which

388
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 3: was great. Macy sort of had to try and work

389
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 3: out who I was but when she came to but

390
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 3: it was Oscar was the one that was most excited

391
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 3: to see me, and not because it was me, It's

392
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 3: because I don't know, if you recall in the last episode,

393
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 3: I said, if he's a good boy, he gets a.

394
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:13,360
Speaker 1: Present for America.

395
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 2: And did you get him a present?

396
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 1: Well, that's what I mean. When would we have a

397
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: chance to get anything like we were just like, what.

398
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 2: Did Oscar want? He wanted like a Ninja Turtle?

399
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: You wanted a Ninja Turtles? Amer Control skateboard it's a

400
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: hard request to ful phil is it for who? For whom?

401
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 3: Do you think that might have been a hard request

402
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 3: for I was reminded of this by my father in law,

403
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 3: who said, Oscar's been harping on about this present that

404
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 3: you're getting him because he's been a good boy. I

405
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 3: checked with April. He's been a good boy the whole time.

406
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 3: The kid deserves a reward. I've forgotten. And I was like, fuck,

407
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 3: what am I gonna do? What am we gonna do?

408
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 3: So I've gone to Kama and they had exactly what

409
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 3: he wanted.

410
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 2: No shit, were you going there? Based on hopes and dreams?

411
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 1: I knew they had had something similar to that. I

412
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: picked it up. I went and picked Oscar from Kiddy

413
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: and I've hidden the toy.

414
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 3: And at first he was like so excited to see me,

415
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 3: which I was like, really excited to see him too.

416
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 1: And the first thing he said to me was like,

417
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: did you get me a present? I was like, hang on, bro,

418
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: I was like, I haven't seen you in two weeks.

419
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: What about me?

420
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 2: You know?

421
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: Fill my cup up first.

422
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 2: They've got such selective memories. Oh yeah, you asked where

423
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 2: they put the water bottle? No, idea, where's your other shoe?

424
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 2: Don't know when they're like fifteen days ago at three

425
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 2: point thirty pm, and I requested this exact toy in purple,

426
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 2: and you've forgotten it. Where is it? Motherfucker?

427
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: Yeah? I got it, but it's in red? Sorry about that.

428
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 1: But like I got.

429
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 3: In the car, I was like, oh, did you miss Smith?

430
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 3: He was like, yeah, where have you been? I was like, oh,

431
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 3: I went to America? And brother goes, oh, did you

432
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 3: go with Maddie J. I was like yeah, because we

433
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 3: just make silly videos. I was like, well, I beg

434
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 3: your pardon, do not make fun of your dad's work. Anyway,

435
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 3: got home and he like once he had got the toy,

436
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 3: he'd realized that all of his dreams had been fulfilled,

437
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 3: and also that I was home, and that's when I

438
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 3: got my reward where he was like big huddle, you know,

439
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 3: wants to play with me with a cut being filled up,

440
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 3: which is really really nice. I missed them more than

441
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 3: I thought I would miss them. April gave me a

442
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 3: stern word to say that.

443
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 2: As she's saying that, not with like a knife against

444
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 2: his neck that was off his own back. I know.

445
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 3: She was like because we listened to last week's episode.

446
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,959
Speaker 3: She was like, you could have said that you missed them.

447
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 3: I like, don't put words in my mouth. But also

448
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 3: it is true. I'm just not very good at expressing

449
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 3: my feelings. I like to suppress them like all good

450
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 3: men far down and then deal with them later on.

451
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 2: My reunion with the kids didn't go as smooth as that.

452
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,919
Speaker 3: I have an inkling, so you were uncontactable for a

453
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 3: few hours.

454
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 2: There was It was rough. I was very excited to

455
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 2: see the kids, but we'd landed got back at like

456
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 2: eleven o'clock in the morning on the Tuesday, being in

457
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 2: transit for maybe what was it like twenty ish hours.

458
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 2: It was a long flight back, and I was also

459
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 2: very keen to see the kids. Ash Laura was out.

460
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 2: She went to like a play.

461
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: I did see that. I was like, sos, you just out.

462
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 2: Literally, She's like yeah, And so I had to go

463
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 2: pick up the kids from daycare, which I was very

464
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 2: excited to do. For any non parents out there, one

465
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 2: of the most beautiful moments of the day is that

466
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 2: split second where they see your face at daycare and

467
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 2: they come running towards you, arms wide open, smile, eater

468
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 2: we are. It's lovely, and that's exactly how it played out,

469
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 2: but even it was more emotional than that could so

470
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 2: long they hadn't seen me ash and Marley did a

471
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 2: double take. She kind of looked over her shoulders. This

472
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 2: handsome man ran towards me. I embraced her. Lola's in

473
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 2: the room next to her, so I Lola kind of

474
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 2: heard the commotion with Marley. She came running out. I'm

475
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 2: there like on the ground. My kids have tackled me

476
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 2: nice and it was a beautiful embrace. It was everything

477
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 2: I'd ever dreamt of for a moment. From that moment on,

478
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 2: we got the bags, went down to the car, and

479
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 2: that's when it started kicked off. That's when it started.

480
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 2: There was an old mattress that someone had thrown out

481
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 2: that was like.

482
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: Old.

483
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 2: It was like covered in mold. It was like helf

484
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 2: broken springs were like rusted springs had pierced through the fabric.

485
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 2: And Marley's like, I want to jump on that. I

486
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 2: was like, well, you can't jump on that because you

487
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 2: know it's very dangerous, and She's like fuck it out,

488
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 2: lipping out. I look over Lola's like b lined it

489
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 2: for this busy road, Oh my god. And so I'm

490
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 2: grabbing her and I'm like, you can't go on the road,

491
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 2: not by yourself, and she's like, get your fucking.

492
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: Heads off, you're my real dad.

493
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 2: I put Lola in the car first, and then Marley

494
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 2: flips out because she wanted to go in the car first.

495
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 2: So they're both screaming. I get them in the car.

496
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 2: They want to put a song on, but one wants

497
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 2: one song, the other one something else. So I'm driving

498
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 2: back just both kids full ball, yelling, screaming, water works everything,

499
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 2: and I was like.

500
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 1: You're just booking fight fucking out of here.

501
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 2: Kids, get me back to Vegas right now. And then

502
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 2: it's I don't know if you found this. Parenting is like,

503
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 2: it's like a sport, right It's an extreme spot and

504
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 2: when you're playing it every single day, you.

505
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: Know, muscle memory and you're in the zone.

506
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 3: You're sort of like, you know, you're you're informed in

507
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 3: great one would say.

508
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 2: In great form. I'm like an athlete who stepped back

509
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 2: on the field coming back from Vegas after having injury.

510
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 2: Right everyone's now watching me being like, well, how's he

511
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 2: going to perform? He's back, you know, does he still

512
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 2: have what it takes. I don't.

513
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: Nope, it's gonna take a few games. I'm not matching it, dude.

514
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 2: I was like I was just couldn't keep up. I

515
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 2: couldn't keep up, dude.

516
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 3: And if they're melting down, and it's like it's hard

517
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 3: when one's melting down, but if they're both melting down,

518
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 3: I met separate things. How do you somehow make them

519
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 3: both happy in one foul sweep? You can't because then

520
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 3: you're like, how do I make this one happy? Make

521
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 3: that one happy? Then this one's upset because you've made

522
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 3: this one happy, So you make that one happy, then

523
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 3: she's upset.

524
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: Because she's not happy. She's happier than that one. It's fun.

525
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,360
Speaker 2: It's just it's a nightmare. It's that flies back level.

526
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 3: I know. I just saw a buzz past my I

527
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 3: try to ignore it, like maybe he won't see it.

528
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 2: Like normally my routine, like the kids have had dinner,

529
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 2: they're in the bath at like six thirty and bed

530
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 2: by seven. It was like quarter to nine, and I

531
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 2: was still like trying to get past her in Marley's mouth.

532
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: I was like, I was, at what point do you

533
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: just give up?

534
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 3: Oh?

535
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 2: Dude? It was like Laura messaged me be like how

536
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 2: are they And I didn't want to say this is

537
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 2: a night mare. Yeah, they're good.

538
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, she just had to deal with it.

539
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 2: We're getting there, Yeah, we're getting there. But also the

540
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 2: thing that sucks about parenting is the guilt that you

541
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 2: get afterwards.

542
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, once you've yelled at them and sent them to bed.

543
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 2: And you've lost your temper, like finally because you know

544
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 2: it's near two hours past the normal schedule and.

545
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 3: You just get to bed, you've been in commute for

546
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 3: twenty four hours and you come straight to that. I

547
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 3: look as much as I missed them and just going

548
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 3: to the South Coast. I was also like, I'm going

549
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 3: to get two nights sleep here without them again, and

550
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 3: I was like, this could actually work out for me.

551
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 2: I will say, there is there is something magical about

552
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 2: being in a room.

553
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: With no kid.

554
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 3: It's the best, especially like her room with blackout curtains.

555
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 3: Oh man, sixteen hours of voice.

556
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 2: People without kids must be like, how is that possible?

557
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 2: Your sleep debt, your body was just like we're shutting down.

558
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 2: You're like you're like a grizzly bear going into hibernation.

559
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 3: And I remember I was like we're going back to

560
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 3: the hotel, and I was like, shivering, I just need

561
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 3: to sleep. But look, I do feel for you. I

562
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 3: was concerned, but I thought he'll get game fit.

563
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 2: I've come back, come back. I was like, after a

564
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 2: few days, now back into the rhythm of parenting. I've

565
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 2: like I kind of understood now, like how to communicate

566
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 2: with my kids, because for a while there I was

567
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 2: talking to them like I was talking to the weasel,

568
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 2: and I just said, it wasn't working out. It wasn't

569
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 2: working out, and I man, I felt I felt like

570
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 2: such a ship parent because I didn't you learn again,

571
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 2: to relearn, I was like back to square one.

572
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, the flashy lights of Vegas, you forget real quick.

573
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 2: They wiped the memory for sure.

574
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: Now on that, Matthew, should we go into tantrums?

575
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 2: Please?

576
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: All right, Matthew, this is one of our favorite segments,

577
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: and I hope you don't mind. I've got a couple

578
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: of quick ones I want to rattle off.

579
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 2: I thought you'd never ask, Okay, so.

580
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 3: I'll just rattle these ones off really quick, because I

581
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 3: love a quick, short, sharp one.

582
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 2: Because that's how you can't yes.

583
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: But also I can't read very well, very goodly. Is

584
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: that a word.

585
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 2: No, I didn't want to put you up on that.

586
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 2: I was just I was nodding politely, thank you. I

587
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 2: cannot read goodly, goodly, good enough ly, and that's why

588
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 2: you should not take advice from either one of us.

589
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely so.

590
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,880

594
00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: my three and a half year old son poop in

595
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: the back yard. He cried for over twenty minutes.

596
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 2: My kids absolutely love a bush wee bush We leave it.

597
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: In over this.

598
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 3: It's a great you've got great technique on the bush

00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 3: wee love a bush wei.

600
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 2: That's now started to progress to bush shits.

601
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: Nice.

602
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 3: They thought they were busters out there, but that turns

603
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 3: out there's human poos.

604
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 2: These yellow patches. Lola actually she was like, I want

605
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 2: to go for a bushwii. And when she's nude, as

606
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 2: she often is, I'm like, get out there, open the door,

607
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 2: let her do a thing. I don't need to hold

608
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 2: it because she can just like stand wide legged over

609
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 2: the grass, and then I looked over and I just

610
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 2: like I could see like the poop coming out of it,

611
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 2: and I was like, fuck's.

612
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: Such a great look, isn't it? Are like ros.

613
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 2: If they're happy, I'm not going to stop him.

614
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: No, fair enough, that's that's good, that's bead.

615
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 2: Like, Laura, can you just clean up busters poets outside?

616
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 2: That smells very familiar to human fecings. I've started shitting

617
00:29:59,320 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 2: out there.

618
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: Oh so now the whole family just shits outside. No

619
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: meltdowns here.

620
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 3: The second one I've got is from Caira right now.

621
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 3: I like how she starts this because she says this

622
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 3: week's special, so she's keeping tabs on what happens.

623
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: Love.

624
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 3: That meltdown was because it wasn't allowed to run onto

625
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 3: the busy road.

626
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 2: I've been also. I've been there. You might die picking

627
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 2: up picking up Lola and Marley from daycare exactly just

628
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 2: straight out there. There's like the three three three bus

629
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 2: and BONDI like hurling down the road and Lola's like

630
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 2: a kangaroo. She's like, let me go out there and

631
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 2: hug it.

632
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 3: I'm like, you see, you definitely noticed now what you know,

633
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 3: how like before you had kids and you like, hear

634
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 3: about a kid getting hit by traffic, and you're like.

635
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 2: How could you let that happen to your kid?

636
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: I know, I know exactly how. Oscar doesn't quite understand

637
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: either that.

638
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 3: It's like, you know, if that car hits you, you're dead.

639
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 2: They can't they can't see You're just fun Yeah.

640
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: Straight out. Anyway, they're mine too.

641
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 2: All right? Askly. This one is from Sarah. She says,

642
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 2: this morning, while cleaning up breakfast, I was putting the

643
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 2: finished plates in the dishwasher, like I do every single day.

644
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 2: My two year old noticed I was doing this and

645
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 2: just started to break down, yelling, crying, kicking the dishwasher,

646
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 2: saying my toast, but in fact it was my empty plate.

647
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 2: His was still on the table with his toast on it.

648
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 2: Then carrying on for what would have been about two minutes,

649
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 2: He then finally realized that his plate was in fact

650
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 2: on the table. He stood up, he stopped carrying on,

651
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 2: and he said, oh fuck, sorry, Mom.

652
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 4: They're aware of what they're doing, is what I'm getting

653
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 4: from that.

654
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: Oops. Oops, I fucked up.

655
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 2: Sorry from a two year old. Perfect. Let's get at

656
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 2: the questions.

657
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: I do have a question for you, Matthew please. Could

658
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: be quite controversial. The question is this, who is a

659
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: better parent out of you too?

660
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 2: That's a question that I couldn't possibly answer.

661
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to answer it. Go on you.

662
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 2: Thank you.

663
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: It's pretty obvious.

664
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 2: What makes you say that, my friend? I don't know.

665
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 3: I feel like you might pay more attention to your

666
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 3: children's emotions.

667
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: I feel like you're more at one with them. I'm

668
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: more like, what.

669
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 2: Do you want from me? Yeah?

670
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like I'm just just trying to tread

671
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 3: water all the time.

672
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: I feel like it's a compliment.

673
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 2: Now I would say, okay, I would argue, actually, here ash,

674
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 2: and can I also can I just say sorry? Can

675
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 2: I just say that's very kind of you, thank you

676
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 2: very much. And that's all we have time for. We

677
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 2: will see you next week. I am a Cancerrian, and

678
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 2: for those of you who may not know the traits

679
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 2: of a cancerrian, I am very emotional. I'm a quite

680
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 2: emotional man.

681
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: I just have something to do with the planets, I

682
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: think so. I don't know.

683
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,959
Speaker 2: I don't know enough about astrology. I don't believe in it,

684
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 2: but for some people it's a blessing and a curse.

685
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 2: It helps me to understand the emotions of my children.

686
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 2: At times, you're the weasel, and that's my star sign.

687
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm like a gazelle.

688
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yep, I believe it.

689
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 2: So we run the race at different paces we do.

690
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm more like, I will tell you I've run the

691
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: race when really I cheated.

692
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. I feel like you're being very tough on yourself

693
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 2: ash as you often are. I remember the first time

694
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 2: I was at your house and I never really I

695
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 2: hadn't seen you paying A lot of the times when

696
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,479
Speaker 2: we hang out together, it's just you and me.

697
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: We actually don't have any kids.

698
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 2: I hadn't seen you with your kids. Based off the

699
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 2: podcast and the way you talk about them, you could

700
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 2: imagine that sometimes around it seems like you're not sharing

701
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 2: your kids with effects.

702
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: No, not often.

703
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 2: Sometimes I get that kind of image. I don't know

704
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 2: what the people think of the people who listen to

705
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 2: this podcast. Maybe they feel the same way. But I

706
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 2: remember the first time I was at your house we

707
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 2: finished recording, I packed up all the equipment, and at

708
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,240
Speaker 2: the same time, Macy had just come through the front door,

709
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 2: and it was the most beautiful moment. I think, shut up,

710
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 2: don't fucking don't I know you hate it. I know

711
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 2: you hate it. You were secretly, deep down you enjoy it.

712
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 2: But it was so nice to see you interacting with Macy.

713
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 2: You were on the exact same level. She was so

714
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 2: excited to see you. You like spoke in the most

715
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 2: beautiful baby tone. Yeah, you're like, how would your people drink?

716
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: I was extremely drunk.

717
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 2: Don't try and don't try and rub it off as

718
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 2: the fact that you're an alcoholic.

719
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: Undiagnosed. Thank you.

720
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 2: I know you don't like to admit it, but I

721
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 2: know you love your kids, Oh yeah, every bone in

722
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 2: your body. Of course I do, and they love you

723
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 2: right back.

724
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: Of course I started to show it.

725
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 2: You like to show it where no one else were listening.

726
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: What was always looking over my shoulder? I can't escape it.

727
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 2: And for a moment you had that little I guess

728
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,240
Speaker 2: it was a moment of weakness. It was you forgot

729
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 2: that I was in the room. You kind of realize, Mate,

730
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 2: you are a great day.

731
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: Thank you.

732
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 2: I just want to say that. And you're also you're

Speaker 1: Thank you you too. You hate this, I fucking hate this. Anyway,

735
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: Let's move on before I that's all.

736
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 2: That's all. I'm going to say I was going to

737
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 2: tear it up. Then, Okay, still jet lagged. Jet lag

738
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 2: will do crazy things to a man.

739
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: Will we start talking about star signs?

740
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 2: Lockout?

741
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: Do you have a question.

742
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,439
Speaker 2: Matthew oh Ship, Yeah, sorry, I thought I have time

743
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 2: for a question. Yeah, I ask you one quick question. Yeah,

744
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 2: this is just a quick one here. It's from Steve.

745
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 2: He's written in and he would like to know do

746
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 2: you read to your kids? And if so, do you

747
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 2: enjoy it?

748
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:12,280
Speaker 1: April's big on the reading.

749
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 3: She usually gets in for sort of part of the

750
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 3: routine is that has landed with her when she's.

751
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: Not there or not in the mood.

752
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 3: For sure, I'll do it, but it has to be

753
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 3: a short book. I'm not reading Harry Potter.

754
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 2: Because you can't read.

755
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, they'll figure me out real quick. They'll be like,

756
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: that's not the words, Dad, that's not the words.

757
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 2: It's like, well, you fucking me?

758
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: I do.

759
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 3: Look I They love it and especially like all the

760
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 3: books are in their room, so go and pick a book.

761
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 2: And that's that's a moment where it can go either way. Yeah,

762
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 2: exactly right, especially after a long day of parenting.

763
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 3: A long day of parenting, the last thing you want

764
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 3: to do is get stuck with one of those books.

765
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: It's like you've got to figure out the riddle.

766
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 2: When I ask my kids what book they want to read,

767
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 2: I'm sitting there with baited breath, and I'm like, for

768
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 2: God's sake, please choose a good one.

769
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 1: In those four pages.

770
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a good one.

771
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: That's a great one. I've got. The dinosaur is exactly

772
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 1: the same.

773
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 2: Genius.

774
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I might put that one front.

775
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 2: Thetter who's written this?

776
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: What thank you for, Jona? What you absolute fucking genius written.

777
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 2: Like a true tired parent. There's about seven words per page.

778
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: That I still struggle.

779
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 2: That's not my puppy, it's paused, too bumpy. But on

780
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 2: the other end of the spectrum, the Bible, the Bible,

781
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 2: doctor Zeus.

782
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 3: If you just whipped out the encyclopedia, Lola drags.

783
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 1: It over the dictionary.
