They just what it is some blood. 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:30.599 They can opt in for a Saturday game. Okay, so 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.279 there's like one or two teams that play Saturday, and 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:35.200 if we want to opt some players into play, they 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:35.800 can play. 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:37.080 The ones that are way. 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:40.120 More confident and very good and want to really compete, 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:41.560 then they can opt in. 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:43.560 But like Oscar, no not interested. 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:46.520 He just likes to well, actually he likes to watch. 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:48.279 But we'll get to that instead. 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:52.000 But I will say, young Maddie, big boot on her. 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:55.719 She yeah, holy ship. 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:57.400 We do the thing where we put it onto a 0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:58.320 t and they kick it. 0:04:58.440 --> 0:04:58.760 All right. 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:02.680 I feel like I'm in the slips. Anyway, it's going 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:04.920 really well. And we're saying too that Oscar was really 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:07.520 really anxious for a while there and he wouldn't get involved. 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:09.080 That was a couple of weeks coat which I. 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:11.920 Think that was off the back of the fact that 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:12.839 there was wet weather. 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:14.120 He slipped over. 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:17.120 Okay, he needs to understand how does he go about 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:17.719 getting muddy. 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:19.039 He's all right. 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:24.279 Now, But then he was like anyway, he was just 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.839 didn't understand that sometimes you fall over drink football. 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:30.719 It's a critical part of playing the game. 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:32.280 But you don't want to do he want to take 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:35.000 the approach of being like good out there, son. I 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:36.839 was more like, let's ease him back into it, and 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:39.520 April was very good and helping do that because I 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:40.200 was running around. 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:41.120 Macy loves it. 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.640 Macy's in their shirt looks like a dress so long. 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:46.480 She's running around. 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:47.600 She loves it. 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:49.520 And like, look all the brothers and sisters and stuff 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:51.160 getting involved as well. So it's a good little crew 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:52.839 we got going up there. But a couple of weeks 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:56.159 have been since Oscar's a little tumble and we've slowly 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:58.880 moved him back into to the point where this week 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:02.680 he actually won an award. I'm going to show you 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:09.240 he won Most Improved. Okay, look at him, but he 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:11.800 opted to wear the news out Blues Jersey instead of 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.120 his actual training that day. 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.200 He looks very pleased with himself. 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:18.279 Free meat pie. 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:20.240 Yeah, is that what he want. 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:23.760 From the there's a there's a Lambie Pye's, so shout 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:28.960 out to a Lambie Pye's. Also, so the investment's going great? 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:30.920 Okay? Are we on the award? 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.240 Is that's a separate initiative? 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:34.480 Can we sponsor an award? 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:36.000 We sponsor everything else. 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:38.880 If you when you get a six pack of Stonewood. 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.480 Okay, Matt story out there, any parents that are listening. 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:46.120 I will say not to not to talk down the 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:51.039 achievement of Oscar. I remember getting Most Improved and it 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:52.960 was one of the awards that I didn't want to win. 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:55.360 I don't know if you view it the same way, Ash, 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:59.120 but I always saw Most Improved as you were a 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:01.479 bit shit. No you're not as shit. 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:06.680 I think you're kind of right. But also any step forward. 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:09.360 Is a positive step forward. I think I think that's 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:10.960 the why you should be looking at it. 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:14.600 Is that what you say as like coach talk Listen. 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.800 Kids, I'm way more abusive than that.

And look, 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:07.640 I'm now I'm not coming to the end of my 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:11.920 stint as a solo parent, and but a roller coaster 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:13.240 my bad. 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:17.079 I Look, honestly, I wouldn't wish it upon any parent, 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:19.160 any man, woman or child. 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.240 The good thing is, and this might sound really obvious, 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:27.120 but when you're forced to parent alone, it makes you 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:32.440 very good at what you do. Yeah, Like when it's 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.640 like you have literally no one else, it's like a sport. 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:37.760 I think what sport would you compare it to? 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:38.040 Man? 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:40.040 Like something?

You just got to keep going. 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:08.920 One foot and foot you, as a wise man once 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:12.720 said to me, ash a foot ahead of you is 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.120 a good foot to take. 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:16.839 Oh that is well said? 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:20.680 That what you said every step forward is a good step. 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:22.480 What do you say?

Like I'm so honed into the kids, 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:32.880 to the point where if I'm like in public and 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:35.720 another child is crying, I'll be like, it's all right, 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.000 I've got this.

I'm on their level. 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:54.200 I have to like peel them off me like leeches. 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:57.080 Your AURA level has gone way up.

Give us a few You gotta be 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:01.559 some high moment. 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:09.560 It's funny how it's funny how it the pendulum can 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:10.920 swing so quickly. 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:12.880 As I've always said that. 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:16.839 The parenting pendulum, where you know, one second you can 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:22.160 be having the most beautiful moment, heartfelt, raw emotion. Oh 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:25.000 it's lovely, and then the next second it can be 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:25.960 fucking hell. 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:30.400 Oh, just like how quick that thing can swing. Pendulum. 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:33.960 It's the right concept. But doesn't move fast enough to 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:36.680 explain exactly what you mean, because you could be like. 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:39.400 This is so much fun, and before it could. 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:43.000 Actually get to that end, it's just don't want any 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:45.720 of the other direction. Some of the low points for 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:49.920 me Ash was the knits came back. Oh knits two 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:54.360 point zero stupidly for anyone wondering, any parents out there 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:58.679 who may experience their first knit situation. You've got to 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:01.760 do two treatments once and then do it again seven 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.920 days later just to get anywhere. Yeah. Yeah, it does 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:07.360 say that on the instructions, which I only read after 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:08.560 the fact that the nit's came back. 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:11.080 So have you brought nits into my house today? 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:13.880 I'm good, I'm clean. Okay, I'm clean.

And then to make it even harder, 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:53.640 throw in a knit treatment by yourself. And the issue 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:56.720 is ash. The issue is when you're doing it by 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:59.920 yourself and you're trying to juggle to your kids. Yeah, 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:01.600 have to leave the treatment in there. It's like a 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:03.480 eucalyptus tea tree oil. 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:05.120 There. 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:08.520 Leave it in with ten minutes.

So putting 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:38.640 it in this liquid you have to like saturate the 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:41.240 hair you want to, like see like massage massage did 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:44.280 in get all the nits drowned them and then. 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:46.840 Water doesn't drown them.
