Speaker 1: But people like the episode.
Speaker 4: Yeah, someone put a comment They were like, Ash, ten
Speaker 4: out of ten, which is it's very arrogant of you.
Speaker 4: But then they also said when I said to jet
Speaker 4: I think I won that one.
Speaker 2: Because you had the airplane seating plan that people sided with,
Speaker 2: and also you did the sob story of like I.
Speaker 1: Was like, it was you sound very jealous.
Speaker 2: I was abused by the people who were doing the
Speaker 2: choir auditions for Quantas.
Speaker 1: Yes, I wasn't abused, and.
Speaker 2: You made it sound like you were. Okay, so you
Speaker 2: want people of it. So I don't know what we've done.
Speaker 2: We're going to try, and.
Speaker 1: I'm not putting pressure on us because it was chaos.
Speaker 1: It was chaos, and but for.
Speaker 2: Those of you who wanted to be the same as
Speaker 2: last week, I'm.
Speaker 1: Not going to happen. This is I've got a question
Speaker 1: for you. Have you ever no, this is awkward.
Speaker 2: I've got something really quick. Okay, get really quick, really
Speaker 2: really quick. Sorry, Okay, I was doing a week just before,
Speaker 2: now you go. I was doing a week before and
Speaker 2: remind me. Reminded me of a conversation that we had
Speaker 2: because I do wheeze by putting my penis above I
Speaker 2: don't use a fly zipper. I just kind of like
Speaker 2: pull my pants down and then put.
Speaker 1: My really over the jeans.
Speaker 2: It must be huge, and you think that's weird.
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 4: I look with elastic pants full on board, but you're
Speaker 4: wearing jeans.
Speaker 1: R jeans, say, with a belt with a belt over
Speaker 1: the belt. I like it. I like I'm a fly guy.
Speaker 1: But I said, at least we're not like my old
Speaker 1: boy who puts it below the bottom of the trousers
Speaker 1: like the bottom of the so like, for example, you
Speaker 1: got obviously you can't work with pants because you have
Speaker 1: to roll those all the way out, but like I
Speaker 1: can get it out there nice. You go at the
Speaker 1: side of the leg of the short at a urinal.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, urinal, there's no limitations to it.
Speaker 1: I think that's sucking. Pretty rogue. It's such an old
Speaker 1: boy thing to do. It's pretty grab It's like it's
Speaker 1: do you.
Speaker 4: Know where I reckon it comes from, like the generation
Speaker 4: of ruggers, you know the ruggage.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, like the Low's ruggers.
Speaker 2: I just find it's quicker. It's easier to go over
Speaker 2: the pants than through the ziper.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because we're talking about because I got my fella
Speaker 1: stuck in the zip and the way you're doing it's high.
Speaker 1: That week was a bad.
Speaker 4: Week for my penis, I tell you right now, because
Speaker 4: I did that and then it would rap up against
Speaker 4: whatever I was wearing. Sorry, Jess, just sitting right.
Speaker 1: I always your questions. I wanted to ask you. Have
Speaker 1: you ever assumed someone is the grandparent but they're actually
Speaker 1: the parent?
Speaker 2: I did have, Yeah, I had someone recently. I was
Speaker 2: watching them was at the airport. Okay, because if you spoke,
Speaker 2: have you done it to them?
Speaker 1: To the no. In my head thise you and I
Speaker 1: built very different. I was eyeing off a family. Well, okay,
Speaker 1: that sounds real stalkery. I was at the airport. It
Speaker 1: was I was looking.
Speaker 4: Through the window at the car park at nighttime, had
Speaker 4: a trench.
Speaker 2: Coat on, and I looked and I thought, you know,
Speaker 2: it's hard to I look at age groups that I
Speaker 2: struggle with a newborn to two years, okay, it's hard
Speaker 2: to decipher. Sometimes I'll throw a number out there and
Speaker 2: I'm like, what is he six months?
Speaker 1: And they're like, he's two, and I'm.
Speaker 4: I think it's a man thing because I did it
Speaker 4: with April when she used to work in daycare and
Speaker 4: long before I had kids. I'll be like, Aple'll be like,
Speaker 4: how old's that kid? I don't know, like eight. She's like,
Speaker 4: he's like four.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I don't know. It's impossible to read.
Speaker 1: It's hard.
Speaker 2: And then and then I think from the age of
Speaker 2: I'm going to say thirty five to fifty, that's fair.
Speaker 2: That to me, it's a bit so fair. It's hard
Speaker 2: to decipher.
Speaker 1: I think think, especially.
Speaker 4: With men I think it's harder with men because like
Speaker 4: it could be gray and thirty.
Speaker 1: That's not a dig at you, but you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like you could be like I've got friends
Speaker 1: that are baled. How old are they eighteen? No?
Speaker 4: Are they're like thirty in there like my age. Yeah,
Speaker 4: because my dad was bald at my age. Actually now
Speaker 4: I think about it, but he used to peroxide his
Speaker 4: hair every day.
Speaker 1: Then he had a hard a fast track it. It's
Speaker 1: not far off. I'm not far off.
Speaker 2: Why did you you had a scenario?
Speaker 1: I had a scenario.
Speaker 4: So I have Macy's on Thursdays and we went to
Speaker 4: Dad such a good dad.
Speaker 1: Thank you wow for saying that. I really needed that today.
Speaker 1: And I just really quickly, just really quickly.
Speaker 2: Do you ever have to say to people when you're like, oh,
Speaker 2: I've got macy on Thursdays? Do you have to say, like,
Speaker 2: but me and my wife are divorced.
Speaker 1: I guess not, Like no, I just let them think
Speaker 1: whatever they want to think, because.
Speaker 2: Whenever I say Thursdays, we're the same. I have the
Speaker 2: kids dad.
Speaker 1: There.
Speaker 2: But to other people, I'm like, I have her on
Speaker 2: Thursdays because she's not in daycare and my wife and
Speaker 2: I still together.
Speaker 1: Nah.
Speaker 4: I just let them just imagine whatever they want, Okay,
Speaker 4: especially when it's women. I'm sorry, April, Sorry, No, I
Speaker 4: always say, yeah, it's it's it's Macy and Daddy day today.
Speaker 1: So who'd you see where we.
Speaker 4: Went to the went to the shops. I can't remember
Speaker 4: what we're getting. That's not that's not usually. I'm pretty
Speaker 4: good like that. I remember, but I don't remember. But
Speaker 4: there's a little play it's sort of like a really
Speaker 4: small one. You take your shoes off, padded, just like
Speaker 4: a small little indoor playground as you would find.
Speaker 1: It, and you like feets, you'd love it there. I
Speaker 1: don't like kids feet. It's like old man feet, wrinkly.
Speaker 2: Talking about the parents parents have to do.
Speaker 1: No, you don't d robe as a parent, d row
Speaker 1: to get I'm just gonna go de robe and playing
Speaker 1: this playground.
Speaker 4: And I was like sitting there and you know how
Speaker 4: with that small talkies where you're like there's one other
Speaker 4: kid there playing, there's one other parent, and you're like,
Speaker 4: how old you do? The whole it's around the motions
Speaker 4: of like name maybe age.
Speaker 1: I have MACI on Thursdays.
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, do you have so and so so
Speaker 4: and so on Thursdays too, like okay, so like and
Speaker 4: assumed that they were the grandparent.
Speaker 1: How old at this point did you think they were?
Speaker 1: I thought they were sixties. Okay, ITH's is really bad
Speaker 1: for me. How old were they? Do you know? I
Speaker 1: didn't want to ask after I assumed them already. How
Speaker 1: did you.
Speaker 2: How did you suggest or did you just blatantly say
Speaker 2: are you the grandparent?
Speaker 1: Yeah? First I sort of suggested did you ask that?
Speaker 1: Because they were older? And it wasn't straight into that.
Speaker 4: It was like I said something along the lines of old.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, it's nice that you have them once,
Speaker 4: you know, one day week, and I was sort of
Speaker 4: like weird sort of small talk about where the parents
Speaker 4: are or do they go to the kindergarten?
Speaker 1: And then I was like, oh, so you're the grandparent
Speaker 1: and she was like no, oh my god, oh yeah.
Speaker 1: Thankfully she was like no, no, no, no, no, she's fine,
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, I'm so sorry, like I
Speaker 1: didn't and then I was like, oh, may be to go,
Speaker 1: and I like dragged her out and it ruined my
Speaker 1: whole day because I wasn't the way way to make.
Speaker 2: It about you.
Speaker 1: Then I couldn't sleep that night. I couldn't sleep. I
Speaker 1: felt horrible about it. It was just like two weeks ago,
Speaker 1: and I still think about it every time I go
Speaker 1: to sleep.
Speaker 2: Imagine this poor parent being tired, exhausted. They just want
Speaker 2: to get out of the house. They go to the playground.
Speaker 2: They're sitting there, and then you go. So you're pretty old,
Speaker 2: you're in a retirement village. You're a great parent, obviously, No,
Speaker 2: I'm thirty.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And then I was like, oh, anyway, kid, let's
Speaker 1: go drag her out. She's like, what do you mean?
Speaker 1: I felt horrible.
Speaker 4: I just you know, when you walk away from any
Speaker 4: situation and you're like fuck, And I just felt horrible.
Speaker 1: So have you've never done that? No? Okay, has anyone
Speaker 1: done that my own? I know, I don't think.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of there's a scenario where I've
Speaker 2: been like, oh, you're pregnant, but I don't think. I
Speaker 2: don't think what have you done? We should probably stop
Speaker 2: you right now, we should stop. People are going to
Speaker 2: start complaining about me. Yeah, yeah, let's do that. Have
Speaker 2: you ever killed a kitten?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Actually yeah, I can bet you. No, I haven't
Speaker 1: definitely not. I'm an animal lover. Anyway.
Speaker 4: I felt horrible about it, but I wanted to ask
Speaker 4: you if you don't's trump be no.
Speaker 1: I wish I could make you feel better. Yeah.
Speaker 2: But the fact that you have acknowledged it you made
Speaker 2: a mistake, I think is great. I have another announcement
Speaker 2: to make about Lola go on. We mentioned last weekend
Speaker 2: that she is starting school. Yes, now, one thing that
Speaker 2: she hasn't gotten rid of, which is like the remnants of.
Speaker 1: The poppers are good here, aren't they? We should take
Speaker 1: what's left of them.
Speaker 2: So one thing that she has held on to the
Speaker 2: remnants of being a toddler is her dummy. Oh yes,
Speaker 2: loves her dummy and got really bad. At one point
Speaker 2: she was having like six dummies to bed. She had
Speaker 2: like a family of a cluster of dummies in the
Speaker 2: bed when we went away on trips.
Speaker 1: Say it must be nice, yep, thank you.
Speaker 2: And it was a nightmare because sometimes she wanted one
Speaker 2: particular dummy, and of the six dummies that we brought,
Speaker 2: we missed the one that she wanted, and she wouldn't sleep,
Speaker 2: she'd have a tantrum.
Speaker 1: That's your fault for having so many dummies. I won
Speaker 1: agree you.
Speaker 2: Get all the same color. Yes, yes, actually that's such
Speaker 2: a good point. Any families out there who have a
Speaker 2: child who was obsessed with dummies just by the one brand,
Speaker 2: the one make, the one model, the one color.
Speaker 1: Is that advice I hear?
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, yeah, that's not going to harm anyone.
Speaker 1: No, that's like it's unharmful, unharmful because I made put
Speaker 1: it in their mouth though, because then.
Speaker 2: Yeah, also we had like good dummies, and then she
Speaker 2: had a taste. There wasn't any other dummy other than
Speaker 2: like a three month old dummy, like the minute dummy,
Speaker 2: and then she kind of started liking the small dummies,
Speaker 2: like the more potent dummy.
Speaker 1: Teeth another one.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so then all the big dummies that she had,
Speaker 2: which there was twenty of, she then hated like it
Speaker 2: was it was a nightmare. And I will say, me
Speaker 2: and Laura, that's on us too many options. That's our mistakes.
Speaker 2: We did at one point try and remove the dummy.
Speaker 2: We thought, I think it was like last year, could have.
Speaker 1: Been there, you remembermember last year? Yeah, and you did
Speaker 1: it for like a week.
Speaker 2: We got to a week and we tried to make
Speaker 2: it a bit of a thing, like we I thinking
Speaker 2: hunt dummy fairy with dummy fairy.
Speaker 1: We didn't.
Speaker 2: I don't think we gave her enough notice. But I
Speaker 2: also remember when we kind of said to her like, hey,
Speaker 2: in a couple of days, the dummy fairy is coming.
Speaker 1: She was like ropable.
Speaker 2: She was like fuck that absolutely not I'm not ready,
Speaker 2: and we were like no. I don't know how we
Speaker 2: decided the date. It was just like on a I
Speaker 2: think we also did it on like a Monday as well,
Speaker 2: which is just like the start of your work week.
Speaker 1: All the nightmare I remember it was a nightmare.
Speaker 2: Screaming, you know, just hours every night. It was painful.
Speaker 1: But she's not a thumbsucker? Is she doesn't know it?
Speaker 1: Like a thumb. That's Marley was doing the thumb.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's a thumbsucker. And then after almost a week
Speaker 2: we gave up. I recall right, so you try again,
Speaker 2: try it again. We gave her lots of notice, telling
Speaker 2: her for a while that.
Speaker 1: This is her last birthday.
Speaker 2: Literally we went before, we've been planning the seed. And
Speaker 2: then we gave her like we're written down, like we
Speaker 2: have ten more sleeps, ten more sleeps with the dummy
Speaker 2: and she kind of was on board.
Speaker 1: She's matured a lot. Was humoring you.
Speaker 2: No, she was like she was kind of like, Okay,
Speaker 2: like I get it.
Speaker 4: Did it do Doesn't it change the shape of their mande?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Her teeth if she bites down, her front teeth
Speaker 2: are like really they don't touch, like a gap between.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Because I met a kid in Bali or a
Speaker 1: parent that didn't meet a kid, well, fucking I really
Speaker 1: incriminated myself in this episode. Already.
Speaker 4: I met a mom who she was with her kids
Speaker 4: swimming with Macey and she and I had noticed that,
Speaker 4: like he had like his teeth didn't want it.
Speaker 1: And my wife April goes, yeah, that's from a dummy.
Speaker 1: I didn't. I hadn't noticed it with Lola though.
Speaker 2: They kind of say from the age of four, like
Speaker 2: it from three it should be dummies gold because it
Speaker 2: completely fucks their teeth up. And then by four and
Speaker 2: again not advice. I read this somewhere online, I think
Speaker 2: from for it creates permanent damage to the teeth.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: So Laura and I were kind of like, fuck, we've
Speaker 2: got to We've got to do something here. But luckily
Speaker 2: she was on board with the ten Days nine days.
Speaker 2: She kind of she got it. She got it. She
Speaker 2: was like, she was very understanding. She's turned a corner
Speaker 2: the last few months where she now has this like
Speaker 2: she's grown up. Yeah, she's grown up a lot.
Speaker 1: But did you show a picture of deformed teeth? Like
Speaker 1: this is what I mean?
Speaker 2: I was away for work on Monday. Must be nice, okay.
Speaker 2: And that happened to be the end of the ten
Speaker 2: days where it was first night, so I wasn't there early.
Speaker 1: Did you go to the airport and what time was
Speaker 1: your actual life? I was on time. So many people
Speaker 1: were hating us for that. I know.
Speaker 2: Also a few people were like, do the same thing,
Speaker 2: and I'm like everyone does that, and shit, everyone sits
Speaker 2: in the April.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I reckon April does it. She's like, oh my
Speaker 1: gym classes at five point thirty. It's like bullshit. She's
Speaker 1: just hanging out the car half doom scroll people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they parked the car around the want before going
Speaker 2: to the garage because I want to wait till the
Speaker 2: kids are asleep.
Speaker 1: We will do it.
Speaker 5: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1: I have to come back to that one. I have
Speaker 1: never done that.
Speaker 2: So we were like, Lola, time is up. We got
Speaker 2: to hand over the dummies. Dummy Fairy is coming, Dummy
Speaker 2: Fairy is coming tonight, and she was like.
Speaker 1: I get it, I get it. Wow.
Speaker 2: It was like someone who had been on the run
Speaker 2: for the police and then they finally got caught and
Speaker 2: instead of running, they just went.
Speaker 3: You know what, they're exhausted from running. You've got me
Speaker 3: and that's it.
Speaker 1: It's done.
Speaker 2: Yes, I wasn't there. I was away for work, being
Speaker 2: an absent father earning money.
Speaker 1: Right, that's fair enough. Let me just justify that even
Speaker 1: if you weren't, I think it's fair. Thank you, Break,
Speaker 1: You're a good dad.
Speaker 2: Laura sent me through a video of the final moments
Speaker 2: before she was handing over the dummies because the dummy
Speaker 2: Fairy was coming that evening. I've sent you that video
Speaker 2: ashes on your phone?
Speaker 1: Is that what? You just don't want to have a
Speaker 1: little watch.
Speaker 2: At Lola finally saying goodbye to her dummies for the
Speaker 2: last time.
Speaker 6: What are you doing, Donal, because I'm a key so
Speaker 6: far chock, Hey, Lola, who's coming tonight? Are you ready
Speaker 6: to say bye bye bye bye dunnies.
Speaker 1: She's definitely got some hidden somewhere that you don't know.
Speaker 4: That you, reckon, she's playing the game with you. Also,
Speaker 4: Molly looks super cute school uniform.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Thank you very much.
Speaker 1: Do you think she's.
Speaker 2: Just being like she's taking it like a chance.
Speaker 1: She's been so mature about.
Speaker 4: It, I know, Lola, and she's manipulated you and gas
Speaker 4: lighted near that.
Speaker 1: I reckon, she's got some hidden somewhere. Oh my fucking
Speaker 1: it's worth it. Snoop, don't say anything, just snoop around
Speaker 1: and just see because she's given them up way too.
Speaker 2: She's been great night one night too, couple little tears
Speaker 2: but like nothing big, no big candies got ya and
Speaker 2: like where Laura and I going, My god, She's like,
Speaker 2: this has been a breeze. What have we done differently?
Speaker 2: Maybe it's the fact that she's more but we just
Speaker 2: have to wait till the right time.
Speaker 1: I don't want to.
Speaker 2: But she even said, we put it to bed the
Speaker 2: other night and she goes, do you know what I
Speaker 2: really feel like right now?
Speaker 1: And we're like, what's that. She's like, she's like a
Speaker 1: Winny Reds, just a little dummy.
Speaker 2: And we're like we're like, sorry, honey, you know the
Speaker 2: dummy fairies come and she goes.
Speaker 1: I get it. That's fun.
Speaker 2: Anyway, better be off to bed, love you guys.
Speaker 1: Don't come in.
Speaker 4: Reckon, she's got your mate, I reckon, she's Look if not,
Speaker 4: if I'm wrong, I hope I'm wrong. If I'm wrong,
Speaker 4: that's great. Is mature, and that is instant matured. But
Speaker 4: you know what child we're talking about, right, because I.
Speaker 2: Was going to sit here and say, again, not advice,
Speaker 2: but any parents out there who may be removing the dummy,
Speaker 2: and if you really get a sense that your child
Speaker 2: is not right, just wait it out, wait.
Speaker 4: Till they've figured it out how to trick you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I reckon. We're talking about.
Speaker 2: There was at least forty dummies scattered throughout the house. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I would do a deep dive into that bedroom to
Speaker 4: see maybe you could bribe Mali into be.
Speaker 2: Like because they share the bedroom, be like, be fucking honest.
Speaker 4: I reckon, Look like I said, If not, that's that's
Speaker 4: a huge turner. We're talking about like Lola, where she
Speaker 4: can love you one second and she's like get off me. Yeah,
Speaker 4: because what she sucks you in and then you're like
Speaker 4: come give me countries.
Speaker 1: Like oh no, run away, I'll keep you posted, keep
Speaker 1: me posted on that. What else you got for me?
Speaker 1: But what else forgot for Oh?
Speaker 4: I was caught with my pants down, literally bar incrementing
Speaker 4: yourself as no, no, yeah, no, no, no, I'll paint your picture.
Speaker 4: Let me paint you and the listeners of picture. Because
Speaker 4: this is an audio medium, not a visual medium. Please
Speaker 4: just not sure if you knew that.
Speaker 1: So, my bathroom is one of those bathrooms where the
Speaker 1: toilet is separate from the main bathroom. It's in a
Speaker 1: separate room.
Speaker 2: Which I like, do yeah, because it's very you know,
Speaker 2: you stink it up. Someone has to brush their teeth.
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than brushing your.
Speaker 1: Teeth, That's true. Make a good point. So the point
Speaker 1: I was always like, look, it's a waste of a room.
Speaker 4: But anyway, and then the adjacent door bathroom door. Here
Speaker 4: is the laundry. Yes, and that's where the storage is.
Speaker 4: For anything bathroom laundry related not important, but thank you,
Speaker 4: it is important. It is important to the story. And
Speaker 4: the one of the best things about having kids, Matt
Speaker 4: is when you run in a toilet paper and you go,
Speaker 4: Marley or Oscar, can you get me some toilet paper?
Speaker 1: Run errands for you?
Speaker 4: Yeah, but no one was home, right, So I've had
Speaker 4: to go in search of toilet paper that's in the laundry.
Speaker 4: So I've opened up the door, pants down, pants a down,
Speaker 4: my ankles, bum pooy.
Speaker 7: Bum, shuffling down the hallway doing the shuffle. Yeah it's
Speaker 7: not down, just to the right. If you listen to
Speaker 7: the start of the story, I apologize. I went in
Speaker 7: there because that's where the toilet is kept. Now the
Speaker 7: next door neighbors are currently having their roof redone.
Speaker 1: Okay, this is a layer that I wasn't expecting, thank you,
Speaker 1: a layer of shit you won't expecting anyway.
Speaker 4: So and also, my laundry door is clear like your
Speaker 4: front door. Yeah, completely see through, right, And it just
Speaker 4: so happens that the toilet paper is actually on the
Speaker 4: lower part of the cupboard in the laundry. And I've
Speaker 4: come in, I've shuffled in, I've bent down grabbed a
Speaker 4: couple of rolls of toilet paper because I just want
Speaker 4: to get don't want to get one, don't want to
Speaker 4: be selfish for the next person stood up, turned.
Speaker 1: Around and there is three trade's on the roof with
Speaker 1: who's just had a clear shot of my pooey asshole.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. And all I could do at the time,
Speaker 1: all I could think of was just a cheeky thumbs up,
Speaker 1: tucked the toilet paper under my chin and shuffled back
Speaker 1: to the toilet.

Speaker 1: of questions, Listen to questions. Do you want to start this?
Speaker 1: You start?
Speaker 4: You start? Okay about this? One's from anonymous Strange Names
Speaker 4: this week.
Speaker 1: Mum of a one.
Speaker 4: Year old Here, huge fight with my partner last night.
Speaker 4: He says we spend no time together, our relationship is
Speaker 4: non existent, and we no longer have fun. He's not
Speaker 4: wrong in some ways, we've both been focusing on getting
Speaker 4: back to ourselves after becoming parents, or so, I thought.
Speaker 4: Do you have any rituals for spending time with your past?
Speaker 1: Rituals? Sex, I'm a child. I'm just a child first
Speaker 1: and foremost. Go on.
Speaker 2: I think it is very natural as parents, with any
Speaker 2: number of children, that you have periods where you feel
Speaker 2: a bit disconnected from your partners.
Speaker 1: A roommate like a roommate phase. Do you know how
Speaker 1: old the kids are? No, that's one year old? Did
Speaker 1: you say one year old? Yes? Fuck like dude? Can
Speaker 1: you remember how hard it was with a one year old? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Do you know what I forgot? I had to do
Speaker 2: disinfect like the teats of Bob?
Speaker 1: Do you remember that ship? I didn't know?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 1: Not by hand? Did you put in one of those
Speaker 1: things and checked in the microwave. You're putting plastic in
Speaker 1: the microwave. No, they go in like a special. They
Speaker 1: go in a special. Parents will back me up. I
Speaker 1: swear to God. Google it. It's like a It's like
Speaker 1: a container. You put a little bit of water and
Speaker 1: it's sterilize. You chuck it in the microwave and it
Speaker 1: peats up and its sterilized. It like boiling water.
Speaker 2: Microplastics. Does that mean anything to you?
Speaker 4: Obviously not, bro. My kids are just full of microplastics.
Speaker 4: They're gonna get their blood filleded one day, so I
Speaker 4: shouldn't attack I mean attacking you this day. Yeah, but
Speaker 4: I appreciate it. I have keeps me on my toes.
Speaker 4: I've acknowledged it.
Speaker 1: So for first and foremost continue one year old.
Speaker 2: It's like that is that you're in the eye of
Speaker 2: the storm. That is a tricky position to be in.
Speaker 4: I think it's there coming out of the trickiest position.
Speaker 4: You know what I mean, because that's what you're saying. Yeah,
Speaker 4: like that that age.
Speaker 1: Yes, don't get me wrong, Still tricky and for some
Speaker 1: it's trickier.
Speaker 4: That whole leading up to one. No wonder you're not
Speaker 4: fucking hanging out with each other you probably hate each.
Speaker 2: Other everyone on the surface, Yes, did everyone with a
Speaker 2: one year old. Every couple hates each other at that
Speaker 2: period of life, and.
Speaker 1: If they don't, they're fucking lying. No one is thriving.
Speaker 2: You may thrive for the blink of an eye, but
Speaker 2: then the majority of the time you're just trying to
Speaker 2: stay alive. You just get your head above water. That's
Speaker 2: the reality. I think anyone who was like, oh wow,
Speaker 2: I don't really have, like my relationship is not cranking
Speaker 2: with one year old, I'm like, it should that shouldn't.
Speaker 4: It shouldn't be cranking. If it's cranking, that kid's being neglected.
Speaker 4: It's hungry, all.
Speaker 1: Right, keep controld alive. I think also, and we say
Speaker 1: we're not going to give it any advice, but we're
Speaker 1: both married, we both have two kids. I think we're both.
Speaker 4: In a position we could give a little bit of
Speaker 4: advice that has worked potentially for us.
Speaker 1: I'm ready for it. Give yourselves a fucking break. Actually, sorry, continue, shut.
Speaker 4: You up, don't go so hard on yourselves, and don't
Speaker 4: put too much pressure.
Speaker 1: There's so much time for you to get that back.
Speaker 1: Is that they am I wrong? Yes? Go on, Okay,
Speaker 1: put more pressure on yourself.
Speaker 2: Is that what you're saying, Get get ready, give the
Speaker 2: mom a break. Okay, yes, okay, Because I I I
Speaker 2: was was shit with.
Speaker 1: A one year old.
Speaker 2: I was still in that mindset of like, oh, mom's
Speaker 2: got it, you know, because newborn's up until three four months,
Speaker 2: Mum and newborn, they are attached at the hip slash
Speaker 2: boob and.
Speaker 1: One year old.
Speaker 2: There were one year old is when dads like that
Speaker 2: can really start taking on a lot more so. I
Speaker 2: think I think it's hard to think about being sexy
Speaker 2: and romantic and wanting to have all that type of
Speaker 2: business going on when you know the house is a
Speaker 2: mess and you're trying to deal with a little child.
Speaker 1: So my best advice is.
Speaker 2: Any dad's out there who think my relationship is not
Speaker 2: being prioritized, just like clean that house, dude, take a
Speaker 2: day off work, call and sink to work, and just
Speaker 2: like clean the house, do the washing, mop the vacuum,
Speaker 2: mop the floor.
Speaker 1: A little bit of your player is going to go
Speaker 1: a long way.
Speaker 4: Please refer to the two thousand and twenty three calendar
Speaker 4: that we did plugg.
Speaker 1: Very much out of date. That's my advice.
Speaker 4: I think that's that's pretty solid, but I would just
Speaker 4: attack on the top of that that if you are mum,
Speaker 4: don't try and force that advice onto them, because it
Speaker 4: could you know what I.
Speaker 1: Mean, Like if you're like, why don't you clean the
Speaker 1: house anymore? It might make it worse.
Speaker 2: Don't you know fucking talent to clean the house?
Speaker 1: Are you going with your going with full?
Speaker 4: Tell them I think by what I like what you
Speaker 4: said was then if your dad right, just just go
Speaker 4: and do it?
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, I like that. Be proactive, be there
Speaker 1: he is.
Speaker 4: That's to hear because it's it's like for me personally,
Speaker 4: if I would prefer to be proactive and do those
Speaker 4: sort of things, then to be told go and do it,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: No one enjoys a gift they asked for, not that
Speaker 2: doing exactly what.
Speaker 1: You're just full of good words right now. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to stop it. You got the apple juice? It
Speaker 1: was the apple juice out of date? Okay, question for
Speaker 1: you again.
Speaker 4: Don't put too much pressure on the relationship, right yes,
Speaker 4: because no one is. I know, we joke, we laugh.
Speaker 4: Everyone fucking hates each other at that stage.
Speaker 2: Life with a two year old is a lot better
Speaker 2: than life for the one year old.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, they're given back way more.
Speaker 2: Give me a toddler any day of the week. Newborns
Speaker 2: question for you, Ash go, This is from Okay, not important.

Speaker 1: zig and Shark? Wow? What's that? And I'm just going
Speaker 1: to preface.
Speaker 4: This really quickly with saying I'm a real big fan
Speaker 4: of shows that there's no character talk like ping very
Speaker 4: much like pingu talking in kids shows is so fucking annoying,
Speaker 4: like coca melon?
Speaker 1: Fuck me, what's your So it seems to be it
Speaker 1: seems to be.
Speaker 4: It's like a little beaver sort of thing and starfish
Speaker 4: Ziggy and zig and Shark.
Speaker 1: Okay, so picture this cartoons an I made it. It
Speaker 1: is a small bee like character.
Speaker 4: I'm not specific on what animal that is, sure, and
Speaker 4: a shark and that's sort of like a Tom and
Speaker 4: Jerry situation where one's after the other at some point.
Speaker 4: Each episode might be a little bit different, but it's
Speaker 4: always set on a cruise ship. It's really weird and specific,
Speaker 4: but it's sort of a bit goes back to like
Speaker 4: ren and stimpy, sort of remember that, like that sort
Speaker 4: of animation.
Speaker 1: I love that. I'm going to you're selling it to
Speaker 1: me and I like it.
Speaker 2: Number two for me, I'm going Blue.
Speaker 1: What's up for? I think Nick Cody put it really
Speaker 1: simply go on.
Speaker 4: He's like, there or everyone gets so self obsessed with
Speaker 4: how they parent based off the parents on Bluey And
Speaker 4: then he says, that's because they're seven minute episodes. You
Speaker 4: could be a good parent for seven minutes. So I
Speaker 4: think I like the premise of that every Blue episode
Speaker 4: can be for.
Speaker 1: An adult as well, and I like it.
Speaker 4: There can put your heart strings a bit, but I
Speaker 4: think too many of them, I start to feel like
Speaker 4: my parenting shit fair because they are They're always end
Speaker 4: up being such good parents in it.
Speaker 1: Can't they shit the bed once or twice? Like they
Speaker 1: are dogs?
Speaker 2: Like if the creators of Bluies are watching this or
Speaker 2: listening to this, please.
Speaker 4: They've got those mini episodes, they're already seven minutes. Now,
Speaker 4: I've got to see parents be very good parents for
Speaker 4: the last minutes. I love it, don't I don't love it,
Speaker 4: love it, but I don't not like watching number one.
Speaker 4: Number one is a show once again no talking. It's
Speaker 4: called Mighty Beam.
Speaker 2: I've not heard of this one, so it's like a similar.
Speaker 4: It's it's a bit more animated opposed to like cartoon.
Speaker 1: That makes sense.
Speaker 4: So when I say animated, like say Shrek animated, right, right,
Speaker 4: A bit more like that, but same thing.
Speaker 1: There's no talking.
Speaker 4: It's just a lot of like it's about a small child, yep, baby.
Speaker 1: I think it's set in like India or something like that.
Speaker 1: It's very enxotic, very exotic. The child has like super strength, right,
Speaker 1: and it sort of gets itself into all sorts of
Speaker 1: situations without any talking. It's all like music and emotion.
Speaker 1: But it's like one of those ones you can just
Speaker 1: pop on and you can just sit there and the
Speaker 1: kids love it and it doesn't annoy the fuck out
Speaker 1: of me.
