Speaker 1: You know how much I dislike dentists because I call
Speaker 1: them Mount doctors.
Speaker 2: Mount. No, they are.
Speaker 3: Sorry. That was very generous of me. Yeah, the dentists said,
Speaker 3: We're like, oh, thank you.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: We are doctors as well, dental school, medical school, different thing. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I just want to say the dentist has won this round.
Speaker 1: Oscar this morning received a Transformer tooth, so now he's
Speaker 1: part Transformer. It's just a metal fucking cap on his tooth.
Speaker 2: Also, they're baby teeth. They fall out.
Speaker 3: I don't cap that.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm just going to concede defeat on this
Speaker 1: one because April well that the dentist sold him on it.
Speaker 1: But April also on April.
Speaker 3: I'll wait here he comes home, I'll pull it out.
Speaker 2: We win five hundred big ones A cost me this morning.
Speaker 2: But apparently he was a big brave boy. But also
Speaker 2: I'm very disappointed with the dentist.
Speaker 3: I'm disappointed in you.
Speaker 2: Why if I had my say, poor kid had still
Speaker 2: be in pain.

Speaker 2: sent you some footage of them there. I did the
Speaker 2: other day.
Speaker 1: Drills going well. A couple of them have played some games.
Speaker 1: Young Hugo, as I've mentioned before, the prodigy. He is
Speaker 1: the prodigy. There's a couple of other kids on the
Speaker 1: team as well. There's a new kid who's quite the
Speaker 1: big statured boy named Zach Boy.
Speaker 2: He's a he's a what boy. He's a thick what boy.
Speaker 2: Zach He's got a boot on him. He can kick.
Speaker 1: Also, young Maddie, not Mattee, Maddie Madison.
Speaker 2: I believe it is.
Speaker 3: So it's a mixed team.
Speaker 1: It's a mixed Temyeah. There's some girls in there. There's
Speaker 1: Andy's a girl, Maddie. Macy's always running around.
Speaker 3: I've always wondered, are they playing tackle? No?
Speaker 2: No, no, no no, they're just playing.
Speaker 1: Well, so with a Friday nights is they do all
Speaker 1: the drills and then they.
Speaker 2: They do they do. Sorry, I don't think you dare.
Speaker 1: We've invested these young kids. Into these young children's minds.
Speaker 3: I'm locked in. They just what it is some blood.
Speaker 1: They can opt in for a Saturday game. Okay, so
Speaker 1: there's like one or two teams that play Saturday, and
Speaker 1: if we want to opt some players into play, they
Speaker 1: can play.
Speaker 2: The ones that are way.
Speaker 1: More confident and very good and want to really compete,
Speaker 1: then they can opt in.
Speaker 2: But like Oscar, no not interested.
Speaker 1: He just likes to well, actually he likes to watch.
Speaker 2: But we'll get to that instead.
Speaker 1: But I will say, young Maddie, big boot on her.
Speaker 2: She yeah, holy ship.
Speaker 1: We do the thing where we put it onto a
Speaker 1: t and they kick it.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm in the slips. Anyway, it's going
Speaker 1: really well. And we're saying too that Oscar was really
Speaker 1: really anxious for a while there and he wouldn't get involved.
Speaker 2: That was a couple of weeks coat which I.
Speaker 3: Think that was off the back of the fact that
Speaker 3: there was wet weather.
Speaker 2: He slipped over.
Speaker 3: Okay, he needs to understand how does he go about
Speaker 3: getting muddy.
Speaker 2: He's all right.
Speaker 1: Now, But then he was like anyway, he was just
Speaker 1: didn't understand that sometimes you fall over drink football.
Speaker 3: It's a critical part of playing the game.
Speaker 1: But you don't want to do he want to take
Speaker 1: the approach of being like good out there, son. I
Speaker 1: was more like, let's ease him back into it, and
Speaker 1: April was very good and helping do that because I
Speaker 1: was running around.
Speaker 2: Macy loves it.
Speaker 1: Macy's in their shirt looks like a dress so long.
Speaker 2: She's running around.
Speaker 3: She loves it.
Speaker 1: And like, look all the brothers and sisters and stuff
Speaker 1: getting involved as well. So it's a good little crew
Speaker 1: we got going up there. But a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: have been since Oscar's a little tumble and we've slowly
Speaker 1: moved him back into to the point where this week
Speaker 1: he actually won an award. I'm going to show you
Speaker 1: he won Most Improved. Okay, look at him, but he
Speaker 1: opted to wear the news out Blues Jersey instead of
Speaker 1: his actual training that day.
Speaker 3: He looks very pleased with himself.
Speaker 2: Free meat pie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, is that what he want.
Speaker 1: From the there's a there's a Lambie Pye's, so shout
Speaker 1: out to a Lambie Pye's. Also, so the investment's going great?
Speaker 3: Okay? Are we on the award?
Speaker 1: Is that's a separate initiative?
Speaker 3: Can we sponsor an award?
Speaker 2: We sponsor everything else.
Speaker 3: If you when you get a six pack of Stonewood.
Speaker 2: Okay, Matt story out there, any parents that are listening.
Speaker 3: I will say not to not to talk down the
Speaker 3: achievement of Oscar. I remember getting Most Improved and it
Speaker 3: was one of the awards that I didn't want to win.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you view it the same way, Ash,
Speaker 3: but I always saw Most Improved as you were a
Speaker 3: bit shit. No you're not as shit.
Speaker 1: I think you're kind of right. But also any step forward.
Speaker 2: Is a positive step forward. I think I think that's
Speaker 2: the why you should be looking at it.
Speaker 3: Is that what you say as like coach talk Listen.
Speaker 2: Kids, I'm way more abusive than that. I'm not even
Speaker 2: the coach. I'm just on the sidelines, going.
Speaker 3: When does the season end?
Speaker 2: End of winter?
Speaker 3: I was going to say I'd come down to be
Speaker 3: water boy, but but it's a long way to drive
Speaker 3: from Bondai from the shores of Bonda Beach.
Speaker 1: You just don't sound like you're as committed to these
Speaker 1: investment as I am. I'll be there to fly the
Speaker 1: flag off the two doting dad's flag. Also, I just
Speaker 1: want to say, by the time this episode comes out.
Speaker 2: You would have aged so happy birthday.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 1: I haven't do anything yet. Maybe you forgot mine last year?
Speaker 1: Did I now am off the hook for forgetting.
Speaker 3: You're very good with birthday I am. It's not a
Speaker 3: lot you're good at.
Speaker 2: Fuck you.
Speaker 3: Birthday dates and memorizing them. Is that right up the
Speaker 3: top of your list of achievements?
Speaker 2: Like I don't know Lowell's birthday.
Speaker 1: I do, it's sometime this year, was actually earlier this year,
Speaker 1: but also.
Speaker 2: Marley's is the nineteenth of June. I know that much.
Speaker 1: Raw Yeah, well over that is you're like the rain
Speaker 1: Man rain Man of kids birthdays.
Speaker 3: Okay, what day she was born nineteenth of June twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2: What day was that, Ash, nineteenth of June.
Speaker 3: What day would that be?
Speaker 2: That would be even Wednesday? Thank you, I just guess.
Speaker 3: I got no idea.
Speaker 2: I don't know. That was a blatant guess.
Speaker 3: Is my birthday coming back? As you mentioned Ash, by
Speaker 3: the time this comes out, it would have I.
Speaker 2: Would have been any special plans.
Speaker 3: Oh not really. I'm most excited about the fact.
Speaker 2: That blooja if you will.
Speaker 3: I'm not really been like huge, am I I'm big
Speaker 3: on my list?
Speaker 2: Sex sucks. I'm just gonna stay well.
Speaker 3: I like sex not so much. Some people like a
Speaker 3: birthday blowjob for some men is great. For me, I'm like,
Speaker 3: leave me alone. I would rather the sex, okay, not
Speaker 3: the blowjob, take it to leave it.
Speaker 2: Much, rather a leg check and hand job. Just to
Speaker 2: be honest with you. Sorry, okay, sorry about me.
Speaker 3: But I'm most excited about the fact that Laura is
Speaker 3: coming home. For the last ten nights, it's been myself
Speaker 3: and the two girls, Marley and Lola. Laura has been
Speaker 3: gone my mum, who had moved in with us. She
Speaker 3: went on another fucking trip, but came back from Europe
Speaker 3: packed her bags.
Speaker 2: She's off againoolies.
Speaker 3: Mum has been sending me photos of her like potato head,
Speaker 3: and she's like, I'm going down to La tomorrow. She's
Speaker 3: having cocktails on the beach with these other lovely seven
Speaker 3: year olds. They're having a hell time.
Speaker 1: You're just like in the cold winter air with two children.
Speaker 3: Do you know what she did as well? I don't
Speaker 3: know if this is just my mom. When my mom
Speaker 3: went to Ballei, she packed with her a big container,
Speaker 3: plastic container.
Speaker 2: Full of cheese.
Speaker 3: She packed up her cheeseboard. Oh, the board itself, No, no,
Speaker 3: like not the board itself. Just she got like eight
Speaker 3: different types of cheeses, put it in a container. And
Speaker 3: there's no restrictions on bringing dairy into Bali, isn't. She
Speaker 3: had like the blue vein, the cheddar, the Guda blue vein.
Speaker 2: I bet she did.
Speaker 3: I was like, what are you doing? And she had
Speaker 3: it packed up in the fridge with a notes do
Speaker 3: not touch Barlei cheese.
Speaker 2: She's like, wait till they get to the lasagna in
Speaker 2: the garrier.
Speaker 3: But Laura was in India. She's now in Bali, hands
Speaker 3: linked up with mum. They've had a few little evenings together,
Speaker 3: but a wine time, the cheese was eaten. And look,
Speaker 3: I'm now I'm not coming to the end of my
Speaker 3: stint as a solo parent, and but a roller coaster
Speaker 3: my bad.
Speaker 1: I Look, honestly, I wouldn't wish it upon any parent,
Speaker 1: any man, woman or child.
Speaker 3: The good thing is, and this might sound really obvious,
Speaker 3: but when you're forced to parent alone, it makes you
Speaker 3: very good at what you do. Yeah, Like when it's
Speaker 3: like you have literally no one else, it's like a sport.
Speaker 2: I think what sport would you compare it to?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 2: Like something? Obviously?
Speaker 3: Do you know? Like the Dhaka rally?
Speaker 2: You know, like they people die along the way.
Speaker 3: Hey, there's been many times where it was touch and
Speaker 3: go for a while with me and to the point
Speaker 3: of exhaustion. It's like an ultra marathon. I think. You know,
Speaker 3: you're on your own. It's just you. You're tired, You're hungry, hungry,
Speaker 3: very hungry. You got no patience, angry. You want to quit,
Speaker 3: but you know you can't. You just got to keep going.
Speaker 3: One foot and foot you, as a wise man once
Speaker 3: said to me, ash a foot ahead of you is
Speaker 3: a good foot to take.
Speaker 2: Oh that is well said?
Speaker 3: That what you said every step forward is a good step.
Speaker 3: What do you say? I don't know.
Speaker 2: I made it up so I can't remember.
Speaker 3: But I feel like my parenting ability now is like
Speaker 3: at its absolute peak. Like I'm so honed into the kids,
Speaker 3: to the point where if I'm like in public and
Speaker 3: another child is crying, I'll be like, it's all right,
Speaker 3: I've got this. I'm a single parent.
Speaker 2: Get away from my kid creep. I'm a single parent.
Speaker 3: I got this. I walk into daycare to pick up
Speaker 3: Marley and Lola and the other kids, they gravitate towards me.
Speaker 3: They know that I understand aura. I'm on their level.
Speaker 3: I have to like peel them off me like leeches.
Speaker 2: Your AURA level has gone way up. Thank you.
Speaker 1: People are noticing. Give us a few You gotta be
Speaker 1: some high moment.
Speaker 3: It's funny how it's funny how it the pendulum can
Speaker 3: swing so quickly.
Speaker 2: As I've always said that.
Speaker 3: The parenting pendulum, where you know, one second you can
Speaker 3: be having the most beautiful moment, heartfelt, raw emotion. Oh
Speaker 3: it's lovely, and then the next second it can be
Speaker 3: fucking hell.
Speaker 2: Oh, just like how quick that thing can swing. Pendulum.
Speaker 1: It's the right concept. But doesn't move fast enough to
Speaker 1: explain exactly what you mean, because you could be like.
Speaker 2: This is so much fun, and before it could.
Speaker 3: Actually get to that end, it's just don't want any
Speaker 3: of the other direction. Some of the low points for
Speaker 3: me Ash was the knits came back. Oh knits two
Speaker 3: point zero stupidly for anyone wondering, any parents out there
Speaker 3: who may experience their first knit situation. You've got to
Speaker 3: do two treatments once and then do it again seven
Speaker 3: days later just to get anywhere. Yeah. Yeah, it does
Speaker 3: say that on the instructions, which I only read after
Speaker 3: the fact that the nit's came back.
Speaker 1: So have you brought nits into my house today?
Speaker 3: I'm good, I'm clean. Okay, I'm clean. I'm not infested.
Speaker 3: A call from daycare and they said, you know, the
Speaker 3: dread call from daycare and I was like hello, and
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm so sorry, Marley, Alola has has knits
Speaker 3: and you've got to come pick them up.
Speaker 2: I can.
Speaker 3: I was like, fuck, So how do they go pick
Speaker 3: up the girls? And I call it the evening shift
Speaker 3: slashed the afternoon shift. When you get home, go straight
Speaker 3: to dinner, bath, bed routine. It's hard it's a hard slock.
Speaker 2: The closing shift or whatever they call it.
Speaker 3: It's a hard slock. And then to make it even harder,
Speaker 3: throw in a knit treatment by yourself. And the issue
Speaker 3: is ash. The issue is when you're doing it by
Speaker 3: yourself and you're trying to juggle to your kids. Yeah,
Speaker 3: have to leave the treatment in there. It's like a
Speaker 3: eucalyptus tea tree oil.
Speaker 1: There.
Speaker 3: Leave it in with ten minutes. Ten minutes minutes for
Speaker 3: a toddler is fucking a wife an eternity.
Speaker 1: And Lola, it's like when someone says, just plank for
Speaker 1: a minute. Oh my god, like, oh, you're watching the
Speaker 1: microwave countdown from one minute.
Speaker 2: This is the slowest minute ever.
Speaker 3: Lola was good to start with. She hates anything like
Speaker 3: can't touch your hair. If I do her hair in
Speaker 3: the morning, I've got to like get in get out
Speaker 3: quick and she'll be screaming, kicking and screaming. So putting
Speaker 3: it in this liquid you have to like saturate the
Speaker 3: hair you want to, like see like massage massage did
Speaker 3: in get all the nits drowned them and then.
Speaker 2: Water doesn't drown them. That's that's whe picking up what
Speaker 2: you put them down.
Speaker 3: Apparent I'm no new experts say you check on the ocean,
Speaker 3: but apparently, yeah, you need to.
Speaker 2: These things can live under Apparently.
Speaker 3: Like I spoke to the pharmacist and she was like,
Speaker 3: the nits have evolved and they're now surviving like without
Speaker 3: blood because they like sucky blood. They're now surviving like weeks.
Speaker 3: They like the new cockroach, and they've also Apparently the
Speaker 3: pharmacist was fucking freaking out when I went in there
Speaker 3: and said that I have to get treatment and knit
Speaker 3: treatment for my kids. She was like, Olf, of these
Speaker 3: products don't even work anymore.
Speaker 2: You set her off.
Speaker 1: She's like an old war veteran with She's like.
Speaker 2: These things don't work anymore. We've been in the trenches
Speaker 2: for years.
Speaker 3: I went back in the day and she like, burnt
Speaker 3: the place down.
Speaker 2: This will get rid of them. Maybe I thought about
Speaker 2: burning your children's tear off. The only thing we'll get
Speaker 2: rid of them.
Speaker 3: This match is a bottle of pet. No, not that
Speaker 3: to my kids. But I put it on Lola's head.
Speaker 3: Five minutes go by and then doing Marley, and then
Speaker 3: I look over and Lola's rubbing her eyes.
Speaker 2: Oh for gods, say.
Speaker 3: She's rubbed the treatment like the tea Troy or like
Speaker 3: into her eyes, so she's got.
Speaker 1: A get the milk on it.
Speaker 3: So then I'm like fuck. I'm then trying to comb
Speaker 3: it through her hair, like trying to get the eggs
Speaker 3: out while she's like screaming. So then I'm like fuck.
Speaker 3: So then I'm trying to wash it off. Meanwhile Marley's like, hat,
Speaker 3: it's no longer in a Bonet's come down, So then
Speaker 3: it's dripping all over the floor. And then like by
Speaker 3: the time I washed their had to wash their hair
Speaker 3: three times to get it out. And washing his hair
Speaker 3: is the absolute worst. So I didn't get him to
Speaker 3: bed normally bedtimes seven ish. Didn't get him to sleep
Speaker 3: until like eight thirty. And by then, like they're exhausted.
Speaker 3: They've been like feeling like they've been through the ring
Speaker 3: full day.
Speaker 1: Ah and like, did you think of maybe some goggles
Speaker 1: some goggles?
Speaker 3: Fuck? There he is there, he is there.
Speaker 2: You go, I'm good for something.
Speaker 1: It's funny you say you did mention a second ago,
Speaker 1: you mentioned we'll give you some petrol, Okay, because I
Speaker 1: did put a little message out to our Facebook community
Speaker 1: if you want to join our Faceboo community. You can
Speaker 1: do so Facebook, two doting dads.
Speaker 2: We do have to approve whether you're allowed to be
Speaker 2: a member.
Speaker 3: We'll take anyone who will take it.
Speaker 1: We'll take you unless you we're almost at a thousand,
Speaker 1: unless you're a predator.
Speaker 2: And then we'll have to consider.
Speaker 3: Even then we're like, you're on the short list.
Speaker 2: Shot.
Speaker 1: Okay, so I did put the call out just for
Speaker 1: some headline, nightmare story, anything, I don't know what.
Speaker 3: Before you get into that, I will say I also
Speaker 3: got some great advice from my sister, okay, which came
Speaker 3: which came in very late, a bit like the Goggle recommendation,
Speaker 3: but apparently Okay, So anyone out there who is going
Speaker 3: into their first situation treating it. When you put the
Speaker 3: stuff on the hair and you're gotta wait the ten minutes,
Speaker 3: glad wrap, glad wrap the head, yes, kind of like
Speaker 3: they do in the salons.
Speaker 2: I think, what if you just got like a swimming cap.
Speaker 3: Also a great idea.
Speaker 2: What about a shower cap and you can just stick
Speaker 2: your tap it around.
Speaker 3: Now you're just showing off helmet.
Speaker 2: What about a helmet? Okay, that's good, that's good. That's
Speaker 2: good gear. Because I haven't had them yet.
Speaker 1: Well, you're in my house now, so I saw you
Speaker 1: rubbing your head on my couch before.
Speaker 2: This will get them fuck you. Okay.
Speaker 1: So I did put the call out for some head lies,
Speaker 1: some juicy headline stories, is how I put it, and
Speaker 1: I won't read them all because there's a lot of
Speaker 1: long ones. But you did mention a second ago petrol.
Speaker 1: So Lauren says, my dad put petrol in my hair
Speaker 1: when I was in primary school.
Speaker 2: To stop the headlines.
Speaker 3: That's fucked.
Speaker 2: Can confirm it worked. No, I also had scalp burn
Speaker 2: and smelled like a.
Speaker 3: I bet you any money. They're from the country. That's
Speaker 3: a country thing to do.
Speaker 1: She says, we're not from the country.
Speaker 3: An am put it in petrol.
Speaker 2: Someone.
Speaker 1: There's a couple of dad jokes in there, like that's
Speaker 1: a head scratcher of a story. Oh, not very funny.
Speaker 2: I'll just do one more that I thought was good.
Speaker 1: This is from Francis. I got head last when I
Speaker 1: was at a festival.
Speaker 2: She was nineteen. She tried everything to get rid of them.
Speaker 1: She had a boyfriend at the time and realized that
Speaker 1: she was going to have to have the awkward conversation
Speaker 1: that he could potentially have head last as well, which
Speaker 1: he did, and they treated it together.
Speaker 2: Oh that's cute.
Speaker 1: That's quite nice, little bonding day. A few weeks later,
Speaker 1: I found out that we had them again. I ended
Speaker 1: up finding out that he was cheating on me. After
Speaker 1: the first time I gave him head last. He passed
Speaker 1: them on to the other girl and she had given
Speaker 1: them back to him.
Speaker 3: Holy shit, that is juicy. She said, that's more juice
Speaker 3: than I was expecting.
Speaker 1: So anyway, I wasn't so mad. I got head lass.
Speaker 1: In the end, it exposed a cheetah and I both
Speaker 1: left him and her with head lass.
Speaker 2: Wow, there you go.
Speaker 3: That's the first good d that I've heard.
Speaker 2: Head last too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're like the Jerry Springer of the modern day.
Speaker 2: Jerry rest in peace.
Speaker 3: Is he dead?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Sorry, if he's not dead, apologies, he's very quiet.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure. Another low point, this one was just
Speaker 3: last night. And as I say this, you'll be like, well,
Speaker 3: of course that was going to fucking end badly.
Speaker 2: Oh I can't wait.
Speaker 3: So we're now on the home stretch. Laura's about to
Speaker 3: come back within like, you know, twenty four hours. My
Speaker 3: time as a single parent is over and I thought,
Speaker 3: I'm going to make the last few nights as memorable
Speaker 3: as I can for all of us, for me and
Speaker 3: my daughters. So on the weekend we went out for dinner.
Speaker 3: We went to an ice cream shop.
Speaker 2: And the girls out for dinner like an early gym.
Speaker 3: Sunday, yea Sunday early dinner with another friend with young kids.
Speaker 3: Got some pizza next to the pizza shop, got ice cream.
Speaker 2: The lobster and Cafa pizza.
Speaker 1: The pistachio not ice cream was great.
Speaker 3: And the girls as we're driving home, this is like midweek,
Speaker 3: they said, can we go get ice cream after dinner?
Speaker 2: Midweek?
Speaker 3: And I said, do you know what I'm fun times dad,
Speaker 3: I'm here to make call memories. I said, if we
Speaker 3: get home, and we did have a bit of time,
Speaker 3: it was maybe like four point thirty. I said, look,
Speaker 3: if we go home, we'll have an early dinner and
Speaker 3: if you eat your dinner quickly, we'll get back in
Speaker 3: the car, go get some ice cream. Bubb's your uncle.
Speaker 3: Everyone's having a great time.
Speaker 2: That's a good little bribe tactic too.
Speaker 3: That's what I thought, clever, That's what I thought, but
Speaker 3: didn't work. Do explain, well, just they didn't eat dinner
Speaker 3: quick enough, so by the time we kind of got dinner,
Speaker 3: they'd eaten it. We had a few arguments, a few
Speaker 3: tears of the fact that like, my kids just don't
Speaker 3: eat dinner, breakfast, great dinner.
Speaker 2: Shit, don't even get me fucking started.
Speaker 3: I was very much at the point where I was like,
Speaker 3: on like the twentieth threat of like, we're not getting
Speaker 3: ice cream unless you have two more mouthfuls, and they
Speaker 3: were like, oh, I can go home, but you promised,
Speaker 3: And I was like, remember fun times dad, here for
Speaker 3: a good time.
Speaker 1: Also angry time Dad, if he needs to be it's
Speaker 1: the same guy.
Speaker 2: Aye, girls, it's the same guy.
Speaker 3: And then at a point where I was like I
Speaker 3: should be running the bath and like getting them in
Speaker 3: the bath, I was fucking putting them back in the
Speaker 3: car to go to get ice cream.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: For those of listening who do not have kids but
Speaker 1: just like to listen to Matt and I talk shit
Speaker 1: about ours anytime around that bath bedtime, our give will
Speaker 1: take either side. Putting them in a vehicle is the
Speaker 1: biggest risk.
Speaker 2: You can take.
Speaker 1: Mainly for one thing, they could fall asleep and not
Speaker 1: transition out of that car into bed and you end
Speaker 1: up with a child who's had a power nap and then.
Speaker 3: Even power up for like a second, they're up for days.
Speaker 2: That's what I feel like. You're up with them all night.
Speaker 1: So that's just for some context where Matt's at right now. Okay, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: firstly dumb, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Go, I'm an idiot. Yeah, absolutely. Anyway, finally getting back
Speaker 3: in the car, and then as we get ice cream,
Speaker 3: I was like, fuck, it's it's pretty late. It's pretty late.
Speaker 3: The ice cream meeting was great, having to get back
Speaker 3: in the car to get back home, to get it
Speaker 3: back in the bath. At this point, you know when
Speaker 3: you talk about you see toddlers are young kids, they're
Speaker 3: like little drunk adults. Like they're just they're just nightmare.
Speaker 2: I stopped really quickly in the car on the way home.
Speaker 2: How did you keep them awake? What was what would
Speaker 2: you go to? Technique?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 2: Mine swerve?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was slamming the brake.
Speaker 1: There's no one else on the road, and you're like
Speaker 1: not that often and you're just up the street.
Speaker 2: You just.
Speaker 3: Sorry back to it was just in the bath. They
Speaker 3: were both so tired at this point. It's like seven
Speaker 3: o'clock and we're having bath. I'm an hour behind schedule.
Speaker 3: I'm fucking stressed. The kids are exhausted. From then on,
Speaker 3: it was just an uphill, painful battle to get them
Speaker 3: in to bed, and I thought to myself, you're a
Speaker 3: You're an idiot.
Speaker 2: Do they eat their dinner? No?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, half of it? Half. So that was that
Speaker 3: was one of the moments where I was like, I'm
Speaker 3: an idiot.
Speaker 2: It's a dumb move.
Speaker 1: When you're trying to put them to bed, they're overtired,
Speaker 1: and it's like, you've tried to be fun time dad,
Speaker 1: and it's got You just mentioned the pendulum earlier.
Speaker 2: That is exactly what you've done.
Speaker 3: It's a swinging pendulum.
Speaker 2: What time did you get to sleep?
Speaker 3: Eight thirty? I know it's up and five. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I love that wishful thinking. It's like maybe they'll
Speaker 2: sleep in Nope.
Speaker 3: But also to make mad, it is even worse. My
Speaker 3: kids don't nap anymore. I'bably like Marley's five dollars three.
Speaker 3: Lola is now slipped into the routine of having a
Speaker 3: daytime nap because she's had too many late nights, early starts.
Speaker 3: Oh and then because she's just got so much tiredness
Speaker 3: built up. They're like, we are trying our hardest to
Speaker 3: keep her awake, but it's like someone hits it with
Speaker 3: a tranquilizer at one o'clock and.
Speaker 1: She's like, and the thing is, it's like we're talking
Speaker 1: about a toddler burne on the candle of both. It's
Speaker 1: like me going out every night and then having to record.
Speaker 3: It's not gonna happen. But then the best part was
Speaker 3: just really quickly, I'll wrap it up, ash, Yeah, that's good,
Speaker 3: I wrap it up. The best part was one of
Speaker 3: the highlights was one night, exhausted, get into bed again.
Speaker 3: Have I mentioned that I'm a single parent right now,
Speaker 3: I'm by myself, all alone. Out there in the big
Speaker 3: wide were two kids who are nightmares, love them, but nightmares.
Speaker 3: And then as I was getting myley to bed, she goes, Dad,
Speaker 3: I wrote you something. It was only on a bit
Speaker 3: of I put it on my story.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it was it the penis.
Speaker 3: It was nothing. She did draw penis.
Speaker 2: How does she know what that looks like?
Speaker 3: She's I don't want to give you to scrap it
Speaker 3: a paper and she just wrote Dad with three love
Speaker 3: hearts on it, and she folded up as a card
Speaker 3: and said, Dad, this is for you. I love you.
Speaker 3: And I was just like, depending.
Speaker 2: On his back, he goes, that's how you spill mum, isn't.
Speaker 1: It just on the dinner thing really quick?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I am at my wits hand.
Speaker 1: Last night, the kids were coming back from kindy.
Speaker 2: They're at Papa's house.
Speaker 1: They always snack a lot over there, which is fine
Speaker 1: because then they they you know, like.
Speaker 3: This little little jab Papa.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it was That's fine. I don't care because
Speaker 1: they finish kindy. They're gona be hungry. It's like when
Speaker 1: you get home from school and you're ravishing or.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, they eat the dinosaur pasta, which
Speaker 1: is pasted the shape as dinosaurs. I was like, what
Speaker 1: was on the menu was pastor and meatballs. So I
Speaker 1: made the dinosaur pasta and I squashed the meatballs down
Speaker 1: and got the dinosaur cutter things out that look like dinosaurs.
Speaker 1: I thought, oh, these kids will eat that, all right.
Speaker 1: They'll love this dinosaur everything.
Speaker 2: They will love it. They'll eat it. Just keep this
Speaker 2: in mind.
Speaker 1: The photo I'm going to show you is a dinosaur
Speaker 1: pasta and dinosaur meatballs and that's the pictures from after they.
Speaker 2: Are attempted eating it.
Speaker 1: So this is Macy's not one bite taken. It's a
Speaker 1: terrible effort, I know.
Speaker 3: Can I ask you a question?
Speaker 2: I'm giving up at this point.
Speaker 3: Have you put any butter in the pasta?
Speaker 1: They did that once and they were like, oh slippery. Anyway,
Speaker 1: this is Oscars once again, nothing eating nothing at all.
Speaker 1: So I'm at my WIT's end. So it's toasting cereal.
Speaker 3: Dry bro if I'm honest. No, it was not to
Speaker 3: Gordon Ramsey you but what are you an idiot?
Speaker 2: Sandwich? Anyway, I'm at my wits end. It's going to
Speaker 2: be toasting cereal from now on. But I don't know
Speaker 2: what it is.
Speaker 1: Macy doesn't like sauce. Oscar like sauce on certain things. Also,
Speaker 1: who doesn't like sauce? I always say food is just
Speaker 1: a vessel.
Speaker 2: It's the sauce, sauces the food, right.
Speaker 3: I just want to quickly mention. Actually, I saw an
Speaker 3: article out there that mentioned the most pop the baby
Speaker 3: names they're coming out for both boys.
Speaker 2: Was Matthew on it checkould just wait for you to
Speaker 2: read them out. I'm so impatient.
Speaker 1: I love how this whole episode you've been just for
Speaker 1: the listeners out there that probably won't see it because
Speaker 1: it's on the opposite side of where the camera usually faces.
Speaker 1: Matt's been doing this whole episode.
Speaker 2: On his sleeve is a child sticker.
Speaker 3: Oh fuck.
Speaker 2: And I didn't tell him because I thought.
Speaker 1: That's a great accessory, very brand, very on brand. Those
Speaker 1: of you who have small children know these stickers are everywhere,
Speaker 1: and they kids love stickers much. They like band aids,
Speaker 1: and they always end up over everything.
Speaker 2: But that's not a bad place for it.
Speaker 3: But if I take that off, Lola.
Speaker 2: Like I put that sticker on you before I left house.
Speaker 3: Okay, you've got the list in front of you as well.
Speaker 3: And this will be for anyone out there who has
Speaker 3: yet to name their child, maybe the child's been born.
Speaker 1: Or wants to rename their child because they've named it
Speaker 1: something stupid like argyle or something you dumb.
Speaker 3: Is it funny some people will like name their child
Speaker 3: and not do the official papers. Three days down the track,
Speaker 3: be like, do you know what, he's not Lucifer, he's Rodney.
Speaker 2: I was actually Matthew.
Speaker 3: What happened?
Speaker 2: We will have to ask my mum when we get
Speaker 2: her on that's right. She was down the beach and
Speaker 2: there was too many kids. I'm Matthew and she was like,
Speaker 2: fuck that, there's a lot of us, but my middlelane
Speaker 2: is Matthew. I didn't know that.
Speaker 1: You don't know much about me, Like where my birthday is.
Speaker 1: I'm still holding a grudge.

Speaker 1: Henry's a bit king regal regal. Yeah, Henry the second
Speaker 1: actually on TikTok at the moment, I watched one Henry
Speaker 1: the Eighth video. Now my whole fop is Henry the
Speaker 1: eighth and the weird things that he did, like, it's
Speaker 1: not really bad because of his leg was rotting.
Speaker 2: Don't name your child, Henry. His leg might brought out
Speaker 2: from underneath him.
Speaker 3: Number two name for boys is Noah. No, I have
Speaker 3: not Noah.
Speaker 2: Never met her.

Speaker 1: If you asked me Amelia, Amelia just sounds like a
Speaker 1: nice name to yell and coming in at number one,
Speaker 1: can you guess?
Speaker 3: Well, it's in front of me, but I wasn't asking you.
Speaker 2: It's Isler as in like Isla Fisher. I like it. Alright,
Speaker 2: let's do before.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm getting the people what they want.
Speaker 3: Man, I'm doing you from last week. I've got one
Speaker 3: more like just like one second story. Yeah, a little update,
Speaker 3: big achievement for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah that I got the treatment last week when I
Speaker 2: tried to tell you, when I tried to tell you
Speaker 2: another really rivating story.
Speaker 3: And I was like, what's it got to fucking end?
Speaker 3: Really quick, really quick achievement. This happened last night, and
Speaker 3: I've been waiting for this moment my entire life. Lola
Speaker 3: would come into bed and never ever ever snuggle with me.
Speaker 3: Only Marley would snuggle. Lola would always snuggle with Laura right,
Speaker 3: And a few times recently Lola would hop into bed
Speaker 3: and I'd be like, hey, I'd like try and give
Speaker 3: her a snuggle, and she go, what the fucking She
Speaker 3: stopped me right there and be like back off.
Speaker 2: Sorry.
Speaker 3: And then last night she said, Daddy, can you give
Speaker 3: me a cuddle? She lay on my arm.
Speaker 2: You are the only option, though I don't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, After like weeks of being starved of cuddle, She's like, alright,
Speaker 3: let's go do it. I had the deadest fucking arm.
Speaker 2: She got a big head. That girl.
Speaker 3: Wasis a ton. I was like three in the morning
Speaker 3: and I was like, really want to move my arm
Speaker 3: right now. Petty couples, Petty couple, one more quick thing, No, nice.
Speaker 2: Try petty couples. Enjoy the song you can.
Speaker 3: Read me like a book.
Speaker 2: Petty couple, Welcome down the street, petty couple.
Speaker 3: They can with me, couple, I love you, but immit you.
Speaker 1: No one can push me quite like you.
Speaker 2: Okay, Matt May.
Speaker 1: I thought maybe this time, instead of reading these long
Speaker 1: winded ones, we might.
Speaker 3: Just rattle off short and punchy.
Speaker 2: Short and punchy. So if you want to go first.
Speaker 3: Okay, this one.
Speaker 1: These are anonymous, all anonymous, but I feel like they're
Speaker 1: very universal and everyone's got the same.
Speaker 3: Maybe people are submitting these anonymously because a couple of
Speaker 3: people when we post us on social media, some mostly older,
Speaker 3: they come out and they say, oh my god, why
Speaker 3: are you acting like children?
Speaker 2: Grow up buck in mind day. If I did, that's
Speaker 2: my wife. She'd leave me.
Speaker 3: Good, good, okay if he annoys me. If he annoys me,
Speaker 3: I make a coffee and I don't leave any hot
Speaker 3: water for him in the kettle to make one for himself.
Speaker 2: That's as good as the one that we got where
Speaker 2: she's like, I empty the coffee machine. I've got one here,
Speaker 2: which was personal favorite.
Speaker 1: This one says I stand in the kitchen or pack
Speaker 1: the dish wash while he's trying to.
Speaker 2: Literally happened to me in April. This morning we all
Speaker 2: got up this morning.
Speaker 1: I was like, I'll make coffees and then the kids
Speaker 1: want to breakfast, and it was like we'll both in
Speaker 1: each other's way.
Speaker 3: We'd like.
Speaker 2: Anything.
Speaker 3: This one says, I washed the dishes while he showers,
Speaker 3: so his water goes cold on him. Brilliant, brilliant.
Speaker 1: We have our plumbing is like that where it's like
Speaker 1: I remember as a kid, Actually my mum used.
Speaker 2: To do that to my dad. Be like, God, he's
Speaker 2: been in the show. Just hear this.
Speaker 1: And last one from me is I throw the empty
Speaker 1: toilet rolls that he leaves on the toilet paper handle
Speaker 1: into his closet.
Speaker 3: Very good.
Speaker 1: If you have any petty couple stories that you want
Speaker 1: to send in, you can send them to two Doding
Speaker 1: Dad's DMS on Instagram or Hello at two Doing dads
Speaker 1: dot com dot a hue.
Speaker 3: Also the Facebook group. We are so close to cracking
Speaker 3: a thousand members. Yeah, I can't wait. I can't wait.
Speaker 3: It's kicking off in there.
Speaker 2: It's kicking off, its kicking, it's popping off. Mate, Come
Speaker 2: on in this room. There's no actual music.
Speaker 3: We come on in questions.
Speaker 2: Ashh yeah, I've.
Speaker 3: Got a question here. This one is also anonymous, a
Speaker 3: very anonymous episode.
Speaker 2: This one spooky.
Speaker 3: Okay, I want to hear your take on this. Okay,
Speaker 3: this comes from a couple. They've recently got a newborn child.
Speaker 3: It's maybe like six or seven months old. This is
Speaker 3: the scenario.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: I want to know if you think one of the
Speaker 3: adults here is overreacting, or if one of the adults
Speaker 3: was being slightly negligent. Oh okay, juicy, very ju say
Speaker 3: say you say so, Buba is asleep.
Speaker 2: Okay, Bubba's the baby's name.
Speaker 3: That's the mom. Bub The baby is asleep. Okay, yeah, Mom,
Speaker 3: whilst baby goes down, Mom's like I have to run
Speaker 3: out quickly run a little errand, So she's going to
Speaker 3: be on the road, so is leaving the baby in
Speaker 3: charge with dad?
Speaker 1: Can I just kudo as you're on the correct pronunciation
Speaker 1: of errand you added the d in errand. Pop always
Speaker 1: say I was just gonna run a couple errand.
Speaker 3: Thank you. My mother was a teacher, so whenever I
Speaker 3: did anything wrong, she would beat.
Speaker 2: Me with the cane. Go sorry, sorry.
Speaker 3: Mom has gone out to run an errand Dad has
Speaker 3: been left with child, Bub six months old, asleep in
Speaker 3: the cot Okay, okay, they are in an apartment building. Yep,
Speaker 3: it's now late.
Speaker 2: I'm picturing it.
Speaker 3: He has ordered dinner from the restaurant, which is just
Speaker 3: literally walk out the apartment across the road. That's the restaurant.
Speaker 3: So you could be at the restaurant and you could
Speaker 3: look back almost see the front door.
Speaker 2: Or any particular cuisine they didn't mention.
Speaker 1: Let's go with Italian, I think, I mean it was winter.
Speaker 3: Yes, Lasagna, maybe pizza.
Speaker 2: Your mum's got one in the bank.
Speaker 3: He's gone down to get the food. He's left Bub
Speaker 3: in the apartment asleep, asleep, all right, he's just going
Speaker 3: to run down pick up the food. Come back, right,
Speaker 3: he's gone down there. They've gone. Actually, we missed one
Speaker 3: of your meals. It's going to be a couple of
Speaker 3: minutes now. It's just coming out of the kitchen. So
Speaker 3: then he's wondering, what do I do? Do I go back?
Speaker 3: Do I stay? He stayed? And you know sometimes that
Speaker 3: when you when you're.
Speaker 2: Not going to have a bad ending story.
Speaker 3: Okay, no bad ending. He waved to the food. By
Speaker 3: the time he comes back, mum has come back from
Speaker 3: running the area. She is holding a screaming baby or
Speaker 3: a crying baby. Maybe this hasn't been embellish. I'm not
Speaker 3: quite sure. But who do you think is that fault here?
Speaker 2: Oh, it's pretty obvious it's a fault.
Speaker 3: Talk to me.
Speaker 2: Look, I get that the.
Speaker 1: Restaurant is directly across. I get that you can see
Speaker 1: the window or whatever, or you'd see where you live.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: You cannot leave a baby unattended at that age. And
Speaker 1: I'm on that side because once, when Oscar was quite young,
Speaker 1: he in his sleep he started choking on his stomach
Speaker 1: bile and I had to get him up and get
Speaker 1: him out.
Speaker 2: What if I wasn't there. That's one side of the story.
Speaker 1: The second side of the story is why did they
Speaker 1: not communicate to say, hey, I've ordered dinner while you're
Speaker 1: coming back from your Errand if they had communicated about dinner,
Speaker 1: which I guarantee you they would have, why didn't you
Speaker 1: offer to pick it up and say you can't leave,
Speaker 1: I'll grab it on the way home.
Speaker 3: But don't you think that maybe he was trying to
Speaker 3: do like the right thing, and that when she comes home,
Speaker 3: dinner was there and it's on the table and that look,
Speaker 3: Brownie points.
Speaker 1: Yeah, look the idea if that's the case, brilliant execution,
Speaker 1: not so cybris, just honestly ring them up and say, hey,
Speaker 1: I'll give someone a five dollar tip to run it
Speaker 1: to my door.
Speaker 3: And that's a good shout. But then do you think
Speaker 3: though then, like we never used a baby monitor ever. Okay,
Speaker 3: so if Marley or Lola was asleep, you know, we'd
Speaker 3: be potentially like you know, but you can hear them, well,
Speaker 3: not always sometimes the TV was on.
Speaker 2: How loud are you listening to the TV?
Speaker 1: Lou Also where two dads, you're forgetting that mum's instincts
Speaker 1: and ears are very different. They're like bats, they're like
Speaker 1: and he's so they've got sonar, hearing, vibrate.
Speaker 3: That's what I've now got off the back of being
Speaker 3: a single parent.
Speaker 1: From there you go benefits and I've grown tits and
Speaker 1: I'm lactated. Look, I don't want to give advice. We
Speaker 1: do not give advice.
Speaker 3: We don't do it.
Speaker 1: But my thought process, my thought process here is one thing.
Speaker 1: Communicate please for God's sake, because it probably if he
Speaker 1: was like, look, I'm trying to do a nice thing.
Speaker 1: I've ordered dinner.
Speaker 2: Do you minds picking it up?
Speaker 1: Or just pick up the fucking phone and say, hey,
Speaker 1: sixteen year old kid that runs food for fucking living,
Speaker 1: can you just.
Speaker 2: Run across the street. I've got five bucks with your
Speaker 2: name on it, bro and high five.
Speaker 3: I think that's a great solution. I have. I have
Speaker 3: been guilty when Marley was a newborn, when we're living
Speaker 3: in Bondai, I would call the cafe order a coffee.
Speaker 3: She'd go to sleep, and I'd run across the road,
Speaker 3: get the coffee and run back. Oh, don't give me
Speaker 3: that deep breath sigh.
Speaker 2: No, because I'm trying to look.
Speaker 1: I'm also trying to sympathize with you and the parent
Speaker 1: with trying to get it done.
Speaker 2: But the coffee can fucking wait. I agree.
Speaker 1: Sorry, I think what's more important.
Speaker 2: Is the life of a child.
Speaker 1: I have a question for you, Matt, and this is
Speaker 1: actually someone has sent this one in.
Speaker 2: It's anonymous, but.
Speaker 1: It's also something I want to ask you because both
Speaker 1: of our kids are exactly the same age by a week.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember when Oscar's birthday is,
Speaker 1: like I remember when Marley's.
Speaker 2: Just count back five days, that's when it is.
Speaker 3: There's no need to have such a patronizing time.
Speaker 2: It's all right. You did come to the birthday, so
Speaker 2: it's all good.
Speaker 1: They're both at an age and I'm sure you know
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about when everything has to end in
Speaker 1: it why they always have to know.
Speaker 2: Why everything is? Why it is? Do you have this
Speaker 2: problem with Marley? Is one question that I have.
Speaker 1: And the second question I have is do you have
Speaker 1: any tips or tricks to shut them the fuck up.
Speaker 2: In the nicest way possible?
Speaker 1: Do what?
Speaker 2: Because you can't?
Speaker 1: Just they're learning little mind, so I get it, you
Speaker 1: can't be like shut up.
Speaker 3: Marley actually doesn't ask the why questions, partly because she Yeah,
Speaker 3: she's smarter than I am, so I'm normally asking her
Speaker 3: why why she doesn't normally. I mean, the only thing
Speaker 3: that she's been quite inquisitive about is death.
Speaker 2: Okay, me too.
Speaker 3: She's trying to wrap her head around the concept of
Speaker 3: death and like, where do you go after you die?
Speaker 2: Well, depends on who you ask.
Speaker 3: That's the only topic that she really wants to try
Speaker 3: and unpack and wrap her head around. Other than that,
Speaker 3: she's not really one to like be too inquisitive. We
Speaker 3: always answer the death one with like you're going to heaven.
Speaker 3: The stars are actually people shutting down on us. That's beautiful,
Speaker 3: thank you so much. So Papa's up.
Speaker 2: Except stars are just people shutting down on you.
Speaker 3: Except the only issue is was So he'll be like, moley,
Speaker 3: I got a beautiful night sky. We're like that bright
Speaker 3: start up there, that's baba. And then when it's a
Speaker 3: cloudy night, she's like, where the hell's papa?
Speaker 2: He's gone again.
Speaker 1: Sorry, the sentiment is lovely. I find that Oscar. Anything
Speaker 1: that happens, he just comes up with like a line
Speaker 1: of interrogation, like why, who, what?
Speaker 2: Where? When?
Speaker 1: Like he got that award for most Improved, he was
Speaker 1: like why did I get this? He's like, you were
Speaker 1: most improved, most improved at what? Why was I most improved?
Speaker 1: Why didn't the other kids get one? Why did mact
Speaker 1: like one of the kids got like man of the
Speaker 1: Match or whatever.
Speaker 2: And he's like why did he get a different one?
Speaker 1: Or like just like and I found myself And again
Speaker 1: I don't want to be like.
Speaker 2: Because it's so fucking annoying.
Speaker 1: He's not listening to this.
Speaker 3: He's just trying to know.
Speaker 2: He's trying to learn, but I'm in the car.
Speaker 1: We're really on the way home, and I'm trying to
Speaker 1: concentrate and' and I'm.
Speaker 3: Just saying this big wide world and I felt shut up,
Speaker 3: sorry exactly, that's how we got there.
Speaker 1: And I just like I said to him, I said, Oscar,
Speaker 1: You've asked some really really good questions, but.
Speaker 2: It's enough question for now.
Speaker 1: And I was like, we can talk about it more
Speaker 1: when we get hurt. Like I was like trying to
Speaker 1: not be mean and be like shut them out.
Speaker 3: Just all sit down and be quiet for a bit.
