Speaker 3: Did you get the upgrade? Nah?
Speaker 1: Look, I the flight over is fine because it's I
Speaker 1: left in the middle of the day. So it's like

Speaker 1: a plane.
Speaker 3: That's pretty much all it is.
Speaker 1: By yourself. Yeah, that had an American couple next to
Speaker 1: me and they're like, this guy can stack away some beers.
Speaker 1: Did you have a quick chat? Yeah, I had a
Speaker 1: quick chat.
Speaker 3: I bet it was riveting for them.
Speaker 1: And then it's always awking.
Speaker 2: I just say, it's always awkward if you start the
Speaker 2: chat too early on, it's hard to know when to breakaway.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I just got on really drunk, and there's all systems go.
Speaker 1: I was respectful. I watched my own things and then
Speaker 1: we chated a little bit. How you have to preface it, like,
Speaker 1: I was very respectful in the flood, Everything's okay. I
Speaker 1: was considerate. I was considerate drunk they're now Canadians fucking
Speaker 1: But no, it was good. It was a long it's
Speaker 1: a long way as you as you know.
Speaker 3: And like on the way back, I was lucky.

Speaker 1: But the coldest plane I've ever been on. I looked
Speaker 1: to the across the aisle and there's a lady there.
Speaker 1: Look she looked like, you know, homeless man. They got
Speaker 1: heaps of blankets over their shoulders and they're like that
Speaker 1: was freezing, And it was like, would you say anything?
Speaker 1: Would you make me say change the temperature in the
Speaker 1: whole plane.
Speaker 2: Maybe someone bumped the Maybe the air hostess bumped the
Speaker 2: like control panel and set it to like seventeen instead
Speaker 2: of twenty one.
Speaker 1: Maybe I reckon they did it on purpose, because you
Speaker 1: united help.
Speaker 3: What do they call them again? Flight?
Speaker 1: Not help, just stand in the barrel and go helper,
Speaker 1: bring me a drink? Help, fabi some great young help
Speaker 1: a woman over that not young? All. I noticed that
Speaker 1: the demographic are quite old and they're so grumpy. So
Speaker 1: why is that? You're like, can? I found myself trying
Speaker 1: to be so overly nice, and then I was like
Speaker 1: fuck this, And then I was just like, but must
Speaker 1: for a drink. It's honestly like you're asking for like
Speaker 1: the newborn child. They're like, okay, here it is. That's
Speaker 1: like I'm asking him to land the plane, like mid air, like,
Speaker 1: just get me a drink. I know.
Speaker 3: It's like probably because they do.
Speaker 2: They shout out to all the hostess is out there
Speaker 2: working incredibly hard.

Speaker 1: especially the Americans, where they don't get tip for that job, right.

Speaker 3: No, I'm sure to be fine. I'm sure.
Speaker 1: It's all about football, of course, but it's a bit

Speaker 1: And then we have a host, which one of you.
Speaker 1: I am definitely not an expert. I'm an arm chair.
Speaker 1: I'm the sort of guy who was still on the

Speaker 1: corner in your cutchair. Yeah, beautiful. I have a little
Speaker 1: update of three things good. Three things I would like
Speaker 1: to talk to you about. One is just very quick
Speaker 1: wondering how many hats you have lost at school so far?
Speaker 1: None different with boys and girls, I think, okay, go on, okay,
Speaker 1: because girls have hair and you have to put it
Speaker 1: into different sort of ponytail and stuff.
Speaker 3: The hat doesn't sit right.
Speaker 2: No, I don't really do my lace han anymore. She
Speaker 2: just wants it to be free. You know, she haven't
Speaker 2: lost this. SAT's terrible for knits, dude. Oh man. The
Speaker 2: knits don't care if it's in a ponytail or not.
Speaker 2: Then they're going to attack.
Speaker 3: They preference.
Speaker 1: The knits won't go oh, hang on a second, that braider. No, no,
Speaker 1: it's all about the hair moving and touching other people.
Speaker 1: Who was telling you this? It's science from like what?
Speaker 3: Okay? Well, just what report?
Speaker 1: I don't know if the top of my head it's
Speaker 1: from their head last we can figure it out. But
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that's how it works. But anyway, so
Speaker 1: like it sits quite snug on Oscar's head, right, But
Speaker 1: I know when I put a hat on Macy, I
Speaker 1: turn around.
Speaker 3: It's like, where's that fucking hat gone? Because it doesn't seem.
Speaker 1: We've lost three. We've lost three hat, we've lost three.
Speaker 3: She's selling them, dude.
Speaker 1: You reckon?
Speaker 2: She is well and I'm like, can you go to
Speaker 2: lost property in check? And she's like, where is that?
Speaker 2: And I'm like, you have to ask your teacher, ask
Speaker 2: your teacher where it is? Anyway, three hats and a
Speaker 2: water bottle. I see, I see how that by secondhand uniforms.
Speaker 3: Yeah, five bucks. Yeah, it knew is a fools game.
Speaker 1: I know. The hat thing is annoying because I have
Speaker 1: Oscar's come home with two hats, Kai, come and pick
Speaker 1: your hat up.
Speaker 2: Actually, Molly to come home with a beautiful metal water bottle.
Speaker 1: Well that's val you're yeah.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh that's that's that's like forty bucks.
Speaker 2: That's like thirty bucks.
Speaker 1: Well I bought the kids water bottle, remember, and they
Speaker 1: stitched me up. It was like seventy bucks a water
Speaker 1: bottle from where Smiggle mate Camart came out. Give them
Speaker 1: the microplastics, they're great. The beach ash Yes, I'm familiar
Speaker 1: Sands water.
Speaker 2: For those of you who made up be familiar, I
Speaker 2: was I was away in the jungle for a while.
Speaker 2: You were thirty days plus a week prior, so it was,
Speaker 2: you know, almost forty days.
Speaker 3: You're going a long time.
Speaker 2: So I've I've come back and my memory has completely
Speaker 2: played tricks on me. I've well, I've just I've forgotten
Speaker 2: how hard parenting is, and I've forgotten activities which make
Speaker 2: parenting even harder. Beach is one of them beaches that
Speaker 2: is a minefield. Oh that is like great, great to
Speaker 2: get out of the house, great to stack up a
Speaker 2: few hours, great to tie the kids out. But let's
Speaker 2: be honest here, the beach is an absolute fucking nightmare.
Speaker 1: It's look, it's getting ready to go nightmare on the
Speaker 1: way nightmare, nightmare, getting there, nightmare, parking parking nightmare, just
Speaker 1: so much gear, getting out nightmare. Then the worst part
Speaker 1: is getting them in the car full of sand.
Speaker 2: Ah And do you know what happened? Yes, BONDI very busy, right,
Speaker 2: everyone is on top of the It's just like one
Speaker 2: big orgy on the beach there.
Speaker 3: I'm listening.
Speaker 1: Just quickly.
Speaker 2: What I mean, It depends on how busy the beach is.
Speaker 2: But what do you think is the appropriate distance between towels.
Speaker 1: Like strangers towels. Yeah, oh I think there are man
Speaker 1: your arm Yeah, so like a meter and a half
Speaker 1: maybe maybe two meter and then one more of people.
Speaker 1: They were they were like on each other.
Speaker 2: I put my towel down and then the towel is
Speaker 2: touching my towel, and I don't want to be that
Speaker 2: guy saying excuse me, but our towers are touching.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like that's not allowed.
Speaker 1: There's no I don't know.
Speaker 3: There shouldn't be any toawl crossover.
Speaker 2: No towel cross if you're crossing over someone else's.
Speaker 1: Tower, unless the wind accidentally wafts wafts it.
Speaker 2: But even even if your towel is close enough to
Speaker 2: be wafted by the wind over to your towel, that's
Speaker 2: too close.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like it's a nightmare.
Speaker 2: So we're walking down and it's very hard to you know,
Speaker 2: it's you're trying to like dodge all the people. Don't
Speaker 2: have the buggy, no time for that. Got the I
Speaker 2: got the big pram, big pram, load the big pram up,
Speaker 2: big bag. Then like we have to track from the ramp,
Speaker 2: drop the pram off, then trek across the beach, and
Speaker 2: it's it's an arduous journey, you know, you're dodging people.
Speaker 2: And I said to one of my children, I don't
Speaker 2: want to call them out, but I said to them,
Speaker 2: just be really careful because they're you know, they're not
Speaker 2: lifting their feet, they're just kicking the sound. Just be
Speaker 2: really careful. We don't want to kick sound on people.
Speaker 2: And then one of my children had that information, looked
Speaker 2: at me, walked up to a woman who was some
Speaker 2: baking and just kick sand right in her face.
Speaker 1: Do you know what that whoever made nameless would have
Speaker 1: heard you say when you say don't kick sand or
Speaker 1: they would have heard was Kicksand I was like, that's
Speaker 1: all they would have heard. Just like just went up
Speaker 1: went up to why.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what is fucking wrong with you?
Speaker 2: Just went up to a woman just she was having
Speaker 2: a great time relaxing on the beach and just got
Speaker 2: an absolute footful of sand in her face.
Speaker 1: And she's there going like what the hell?
Speaker 3: I know which child this well?
Speaker 2: And then I'm going, I'm so so sorry that was
Speaker 2: That was not me, that was my wife.
Speaker 1: I should have doubled down and just give her a
Speaker 1: big matty j flipper full of sand.
Speaker 2: I was like I want to make peace here anyway,
Speaker 2: I know which child it was. And then and then
Speaker 2: also reading between the lines, my children are a really
Speaker 2: difficult age right now where they've just started to like waves,
Speaker 2: like before they were petrified of waves. Obviously small waves,
Speaker 2: they quite like it. But as we're like waist deep
Speaker 2: in the water, sometimes your odd rogue wave would come,
Speaker 2: which set, yeah, like a bomb set, which is like
Speaker 2: almost head height for my my children. As this bomb
Speaker 2: set comes, I then moments before impact, I then lift
Speaker 2: the child up to save them, and that's met with
Speaker 2: don't fucking touch me, and.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I just let him have it.
Speaker 2: So dude, after two bomb sets and being yelled at
Speaker 2: by my daughters.
Speaker 3: I'm like, do you know what you can you can
Speaker 3: cop this? Here's a lesson.
Speaker 2: Like this wave came monster wave, like big bomming out
Speaker 2: the back, and we're only like, well, again waist deep.
Speaker 2: So it's whitewash at this point, and it comes in
Speaker 2: and I'm like looking at looking at my daughter, looking
Speaker 2: at this wave, looking at my daughter, and I'm like, well,
Speaker 2: you're gonna get what you asked for. Praise for impact, God,
Speaker 2: steam away. And then like feet are like tumbling in
Speaker 2: the air. I then I went over and skid them.
Speaker 2: But I pick them up out of the water, and.
Speaker 1: They're like, ah, why didn't you get me? Or it's
Speaker 1: usually met me. I hate the bitch. I want to
Speaker 1: go home. I'm like, what do you want? What is it?
Speaker 1: I can't pick you up, I can't let you get
Speaker 1: hit by a wave, Like, what do you want from me?
Speaker 2: Also just going to say I love my kids, really,
Speaker 2: I love them. It's like it's they don't know what
Speaker 2: they want. You're trying to get them out of danger's way.
Speaker 2: They don't know that that's danger until you've done the
Speaker 2: right thing.
Speaker 1: So then I'm like, I want them to know that
Speaker 1: the waves can waves are not your friend. Don't underestimate
Speaker 1: the ocean, dude. Anyway, I came back and I was
Speaker 1: just like that was well, they just like full of sands. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they you know, they were hungry and they were you know. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I did the same thing with Oscar, but on a
Speaker 1: on a like a foamy surfboard. He was like, I
Speaker 1: was pushing onto these tiny it was like I'm talking
Speaker 1: the size of an iPhone wash just so that you
Speaker 1: could get yeah, lovely, lovely, and he was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I want bigger I want a bigger one. I was like, okay, bro,
Speaker 1: here you go and push him on one like double
Speaker 1: the size and it just nosed dub flung him. The
Speaker 1: guy took off the beach. He's just like, I'm like,
Speaker 1: where are you running? We live that way. Eventually you
Speaker 1: turn around and came back and then had to go
Speaker 1: see mom, hate hate the water, the surfboard. Then I
Speaker 1: just I continue, I know, yeah, I continue to continue
Speaker 1: to do the same thing to Macie. But she isn't
Speaker 1: a big floating jacket. When you're shutting these kids across
Speaker 1: the beach, this isn't a big floating jacket.
Speaker 3: So she just rolled on top of the water.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I hate the beach now.
Speaker 3: I hate the beach.
Speaker 1: Hate the beach. And also to go back to your
Speaker 1: point about how close the towers are right, yeah, going
Speaker 1: we're just gone out of school holidays, which you know
Speaker 1: is a terrible time to go.
Speaker 3: To the beach.
Speaker 1: It's the time that you want to go and the
Speaker 1: time that everyone else wants to go. So it's just chaos.
Speaker 1: We're down the beach nowan beach, and there's a big
Speaker 1: rock wall and we sit up against the rock wall
Speaker 1: that there's a lagoon that runs into the ocean and
Speaker 1: then it goes in and out, in and out.
Speaker 3: And it's like a bit rapidly. And then there's also.
Speaker 1: Some deeper spots with the kids, but there's not a
Speaker 1: lot of sand.
Speaker 2: For anyone who's unfamiliar. Look at ashes stories on the
Speaker 2: weekend and you'll see now being like, which is beautiful. Oh,
Speaker 2: it's lovely when it's gorgeous when it's open. When it's
Speaker 2: not open, it's like a big stinky puddle. But it's
Speaker 2: probably like from me to the wall away, there's a
Speaker 2: couple of meters in terms of sand and where sat
Speaker 2: here in a spot people sat, you know, and this
Speaker 2: family with a tent came and sat within ten centimeters
Speaker 2: of where my feet are, like a full tent, so
Speaker 2: they're completely obstructed. Just move in, yeah, just move to
Speaker 2: my fucking house.
Speaker 3: Wives. And they've obstructed the view.
Speaker 1: And then the tent that he even moved my towel
Speaker 1: corner to put the tent.
Speaker 2: Come on, bro, come on, like, who has the audacity
Speaker 2: to move someone else's tower?
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? No? And I said, oh, good thing,
Speaker 1: we'll leave him.
Speaker 3: What did he say. He just laughed, like giggled, like
Speaker 3: he was like nervous.
Speaker 1: How do you where do you get that level of arrogance.
Speaker 1: It's more like self awareness. Some people have zero self
Speaker 1: awareness whatsoever. Like just have a scaup of it. You
Speaker 1: may as well.
Speaker 2: You may as well just move into someone's house, like
Speaker 2: knock on the door, come through with like eski and
Speaker 2: have lunch in the backyard.
Speaker 1: That generation, it's it's like my parents. They will make
Speaker 1: my parents generation where my mom So I moved into
Speaker 1: my father in law's house. I don't have told you
Speaker 1: the story, and Mom goes, do you mind if we
Speaker 1: park a caravan at the front? I was like, yeah, mum,
Speaker 1: you want to park a fucking caravan? And I saw
Speaker 1: at the front of my father in law's house. Have
Speaker 1: some self awareness, like you have told me this story
Speaker 1: four times? Yes, sorry, but like that's what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's that generation. But I just you talking about the
Speaker 1: tower and I really got me. I'm going to say
Speaker 1: on the weekend, the culprit was my age. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: it's but it's it's all generations. It's an issue. It's
Speaker 1: an issue that's been neglected. We have an election coming up.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, well, there was that whole cool cabana
Speaker 1: thing that went mental. I want to I want to
Speaker 1: the hornet's nest. Taking a cool cabana to the beach
Speaker 1: is like taking a carport to the beach.
Speaker 3: It's the same thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I'm going to have to start doing
Speaker 2: it because the towe is not strong.
Speaker 1: Enough a perimeter.
Speaker 2: Build a note that people are disregarding that. Back in
Speaker 2: my day, the towel was was the perimeter. Like people
Speaker 2: would look at the towel as being like, that's your land.
Speaker 2: People disregard the towel. Now no one gives any respect
Speaker 2: to the towel. People only respect the cool cabana.
Speaker 1: You should roll over onto their towel, like, hey.
Speaker 2: I started eating their snacks, bring those strawberries over here,
Speaker 2: but their sun cream started kissing his wife and I
Speaker 2: was like, yeah, is that.
Speaker 1: How you feel? That's how I feel when your towel
Speaker 1: approaches on my town.
Speaker 2: It's the only way they'll learn. One of the things
Speaker 2: happened as well. It's quite exciting.
Speaker 1: It's a big milestone, big milestone in the Johnson Burn household.
Speaker 1: You no, well, it's exciting because where.
Speaker 3: My child is evolving.
Speaker 2: In the what she can fly shut up about time
Speaker 2: she has this is Lola has stopped wearing nappies at nighttime.
Speaker 1: Oh, stop wearing nappers at nighttime.
Speaker 2: We did a rule where I think we said, if
Speaker 2: you can do five nights of no wheeze, then dry
Speaker 2: nappy in the morning.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so every time we have a dry nappy
Speaker 1: it was like whoo.
Speaker 2: Like big celebration, big song and dance. She was really excited.
Speaker 2: And then and also said a lot of money. Nappies
Speaker 2: aren't cheap. Oh yeah, and it's a bloody nightmad terrible
Speaker 2: for the environment. Not that that's stopped me using them.
Speaker 2: Shout out to anyone who uses cloths no, because funck
Speaker 2: that that's for that love the environment?
Speaker 3: Though?
Speaker 1: What about it is when I had a kid, my
Speaker 1: sister was like I was the first out of my
Speaker 1: siblings to have a kid that she was like, going
Speaker 1: to use resalp and I'm like no, She's like, do you
Speaker 1: know how bad they are to the environment? The other
Speaker 1: one like the ones you buy. And now she's got
Speaker 1: a niece and I said, did you use resal apps?
Speaker 3: Like I want to talk about it.
Speaker 2: But also like look at the mines that you know,
Speaker 2: they're digging up Australia, Like, you know, it's over.
Speaker 3: Fuck it. Whether I'm using a Huggy's nappy or not
Speaker 3: makes we keep.
Speaker 1: Trying to get to net zero. We're setting unachievable goals.
Speaker 1: Let's go the other way. Don't put the pressure on
Speaker 1: the parents, put the pressure on the mining company.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's go the other way. Please met one hundred.
Speaker 2: But yeah, we are. We decided this is going to
Speaker 2: be it. No nappies at nighttime. I'm loving that, which
Speaker 2: is like, you know, it's a bit it's like my
Speaker 2: little my little girls growing up now at every every turn,
Speaker 2: they're growing up. But then like first night no nappies,
Speaker 2: pissed the bed. But it worked out perfectly because she
Speaker 2: rolled off the bed and then Pete, there's a little
Speaker 2: rugs she peed on the run.
Speaker 1: Yeah, pit on the rug.
Speaker 3: So she was like.
Speaker 1: Daddy and I went up there and she's like, I
Speaker 1: need to get changed.
Speaker 2: And I was like, this is a great result because
Speaker 2: the time it takes to change the bed, they then
Speaker 2: wake up even more.
Speaker 3: Everyone is pretty much awake.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I was like, I'll just put a towel
Speaker 2: down and drive that rug right up, beautiful, it's fine,
Speaker 2: love that It's fine. But then Lola started doing this thing.
Speaker 3: Is she still heavy on the waters?
Speaker 1: She does? Okay?
Speaker 3: Her sleep routine is a bit strange. Okay.
Speaker 2: So she has a water bottle but has to have
Speaker 2: it hot yep, Okay, Well, there's a certain temperature it
Speaker 2: has to be not too hot to touch. She almost
Speaker 2: has it as a comforter. So she wants a warm
Speaker 2: water bottle when she sleeps, right, that's rule number one. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: rule number two. This has only started happening since I've
Speaker 2: been away. She doesn't have a pillow anymore. She's very
Speaker 2: particular with her senses.
Speaker 3: So there's three issues my wife would call them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So she doesn't have a pillow. She has like
Speaker 2: one of those soft felt blankets which is folded up
Speaker 2: in the shape of a pillow. That's what she sleeps on. Right,
Speaker 2: it's rule number two.
Speaker 3: That's weird.
Speaker 2: So rule number one, just to reiterate hot water bottle,
Speaker 2: which is a water bottle. Well number two, blanket, pillow.
Speaker 2: Rule number three, she sleeps on her block of cement.
Speaker 2: She can't use a duvet as.
Speaker 1: Agree to disagree. That's another argument. So she now gets
Speaker 1: going on this one. Then now just.
Speaker 2: Has a a crocheted blanket. And when she has the
Speaker 2: crocheted blanket like Nana's blanket, Nana's blanket. When she has
Speaker 2: on her it has to be up to her like
Speaker 2: her shoulder, Oh my god, and then has to be
Speaker 2: completely flat like all the edges all around.
Speaker 3: It's a vampires are.
Speaker 1: She sleeps on a side. Yeah.
Speaker 2: If there's any ripple in the blanket, she's like, there's
Speaker 2: a ripple, yeah, and have to.
Speaker 1: Have to smooth out the blanketed fuck.
Speaker 3: Kid's a weird. Hey, yeah, that's that's my daughter.
Speaker 1: They are how they are weird. You can't well, that
Speaker 1: is all weird. All of those things are all weird.
Speaker 1: I don't know what you want to say.
Speaker 2: So that's how she sleeps now, And I'm like, do
Speaker 2: I start to push back on these things?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Do I just unless you want to lose some sleep,
Speaker 2: do I just take the path of this resistance. Luckily
Speaker 2: she'll if the blanket raffles up in the middle of
Speaker 2: the night, she's fine, but going to sleep. She still
Speaker 2: got the dummy, yeah, yes, and that's also everyone before
Speaker 2: the dummy. Still we'll get next week. Get where the
Speaker 2: dummy again. I remember what happened last night.
