Speaker 1: My phone's been on aeroplane mode for two weeks actually,
Speaker 1: because you can get an eSIM now, like over there,
Speaker 1: it's like eight.
Speaker 2: Bucks for what what's it for?
Speaker 1: Like two gigs? I'm just like, over.
Speaker 2: There, great, you did not for the travel pass?
Speaker 1: Nah?
Speaker 2: Fucking five bucks a day?
Speaker 1: What's that? Where vertie vote fail are you with? Every time? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Vota phone. Every time I do that, I get a
Speaker 1: fucking bill for Like when I went to Japan for
Speaker 1: four days, it's like five bucks a day. Beautiful, It's
Speaker 1: like a two hundred dollar bill. They're like, yeah, it
Speaker 1: was five dollars a day, but then to use any data,
Speaker 1: it's like fifty dollars a second. So I just like,
Speaker 1: don't even fucking bother. I was like, this is a
Speaker 1: fucking joke.
Speaker 2: What's the biggest phone bill? You ever had?
Speaker 1: A compne of bucks?
Speaker 2: And I went to the Japan. I racked up with
Speaker 2: like five hundred bucks. When I was doing what I
Speaker 2: was just like fucking using the internet.
Speaker 1: What we're doing is watching heaps of hen type on.
Speaker 2: IM trying to talk. I send an emails to my mom,
Speaker 2: welcome back to Dad's I am mat a Jay And
Speaker 2: this is a podcast. That is all about parenting.
Speaker 1: It's the good, it's the bad and the relatable.
Speaker 2: And if you've come hoping for just a little sprinkling,
Speaker 2: maybe a peppering of advice, I'm so to say we don't.
Speaker 1: And that's a proper disclaimer as well, because we did
Speaker 1: get that person who messaged this or commented it saying
Speaker 1: like you should be doing better as a dad's help podcast.
Speaker 1: Hang on a second, Oh wait.
Speaker 2: Is this the one about the disciplining or.
Speaker 1: Is this I don't know, but someone was like, if
Speaker 1: you're going to do it a parenting help podcast, obviously
Speaker 1: this person doesn't listen because we just do this.
Speaker 2: But you know those people, I look to see if
Speaker 2: they're following us, and if they're not, then I'm like.
Speaker 1: This person was, and I.
Speaker 2: We don't.
Speaker 1: We give that same disclaimer every episode where we're like,
Speaker 1: there's no actual If you do get some tips, great,
Speaker 1: it's a surprise nugget. We're not here to help you
Speaker 1: at all. If anything, we need you to.
Speaker 2: Help us the ones that are struggling with me.
Speaker 1: In particular, I thought it was.
Speaker 2: Going to be about that. We had a couple of
Speaker 2: complaints regarding Macy in the corner that was it?
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, that was it where it was like she look,
Speaker 1: it was a naughty corner. It wasn't like I was
Speaker 1: beating my child up. It was like she was like
Speaker 1: cute in the noughty corn And people are like traumatizing.
Speaker 2: Someone did say before that episode they're like, do you
Speaker 2: guys ever get any complaints or you know, people questioning
Speaker 2: your parenting silent?
Speaker 1: I was like, no, not really, now we do. I
Speaker 1: do definitely get people in my DNS being like you
Speaker 1: should know better. How am I supposed to know better?
Speaker 1: This is my first time with two kids, first time
Speaker 1: doing it, just like many people who are listening to
Speaker 1: this podcast, so first time doing it, so how do
Speaker 1: we know?
Speaker 2: I think you're doing a great job. Thank you.
Speaker 1: And also whatever you do, whatever parenting technique you grab
Speaker 1: hold of and run with, it's going to traumatize them
Speaker 1: one way or another. If you are over nice to someone,
Speaker 1: they're going to think that the whole world's going to
Speaker 1: be over nice to them their whole lives, and a
Speaker 1: big fucking reality check. When they're a bit older, then
Speaker 1: they're going to be traumatized. So there's no right or
Speaker 1: wrong way.
Speaker 2: But we will just take this opportunity to say that
Speaker 2: both of our children were all four of them currently alive, alive,
Speaker 2: happy and healthy Macy. She walked in, she was in
Speaker 2: good spirits. She did give me a very nice.
Speaker 1: Welcome, waving that bottle around.
Speaker 2: Still yet to make any kind of verbal noise in
Speaker 2: front of me.
Speaker 1: She's here. She's really vocal when she's like in swimming,
Speaker 1: she's like like happy vocal. And on that note, I've
Speaker 1: just come back from BALLEI, Matt.
Speaker 2: I know, man, I can see the fucking ten on
Speaker 2: your listening.
Speaker 1: I didn't wear this what we've got the old g
Speaker 1: shock on BAM. That's what color I was when I left.
Speaker 2: It's a tough question to answer, but I will throw
Speaker 2: it at you and say, how was your trip? Condense
Speaker 2: it into two weeks, condensed into or two weeks two
Speaker 2: weeks into.
Speaker 1: A short sentence.
Speaker 2: Please.
Speaker 1: It was good. It was really good. I was really
Speaker 1: surprised with how the kids paved themselves. It was really
Speaker 1: helpful to go meet up. I think there was like
Speaker 1: five couples.
Speaker 2: All four couples, I think can sometimes be a nightmare
Speaker 2: when you've got that many people in the mix. I'm
Speaker 2: not you guys are experienced at this, but like, was
Speaker 2: there any point where you thought, this is too many
Speaker 2: people and everybody wants any different things? Nah?
Speaker 1: Nah, I think we're all really similar on the same page.
Speaker 1: Like what we wanted to do, which was hang out,
Speaker 1: to let the kids play together in the kids pool.
Speaker 2: And because you guys were at.
Speaker 1: In a resort, Yeah, yeah, we're at the Grammarage. There's
Speaker 1: like the Grammarage and then they've got like the Grammarage family.
Speaker 1: Don't be fooled, don't state the family, because that's fucking
Speaker 1: chaos over there because that's where all the kids go,
Speaker 1: all inclusive. That ship we were in the other one
Speaker 1: really nice. Still heaps of kids there, but like nothing
Speaker 1: like we pretty much had a whole corner of this
Speaker 1: pool to ourselves for the seven days that we were there.
Speaker 1: But everyone was very like minded. What you wanted to do,
Speaker 1: so like, what was your routine, I'll lay the routine
Speaker 1: down please, and then any variables I'll give you as well.
Speaker 1: There's always as well when you do group holiday. Dad's
Speaker 1: trying to take the piece a little bit. I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna say it. I'll get there.
Speaker 2: I get there.
Speaker 1: So were we in the mornings, we would be like
Speaker 1: buffet classic ash shirtlets walking around buffet eating plate of noodles.
Speaker 1: Everyone hates it. I got told to put my shirt
Speaker 1: back on shirtless buffet.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, man.
Speaker 1: I was like, this shirt's gonna get ruined one way
Speaker 1: or another. Were one but like they had. I had
Speaker 1: the waiters a few times. Can you put a shirt on?
Speaker 2: This is a fucking buffet? Was it like a dining
Speaker 2: like swim buffet? Okay?
Speaker 1: It was the pool, so I could. I could either
Speaker 1: be like, oh yeah, yeah, look it was just hot mashes,
Speaker 1: so hot, no shoes. My gosh, I'm a grub. It
Speaker 1: was so hot. If I wore a shirt, it'd be
Speaker 1: like a wet T shirt competition. I'd be like it
Speaker 1: was brutal, what a side to behold? Oh yeah, look,
Speaker 1: guy got some looks. I definitely got told to put
Speaker 1: my shirt back on a few times. Anyway, buffet sweaty
Speaker 1: at the straight to the pool and then we would
Speaker 1: like all sit around the pool. They had like a
Speaker 1: shallow pools like that.
Speaker 2: And when you say like that, it's like half a meter.
Speaker 2: For people who.
Speaker 1: I forget that this is not all visual. It was
Speaker 1: like half a meter and then it would lead into
Speaker 1: like the bigger pool. So we like had this corner
Speaker 1: which was like a bit of both, like a bit
Speaker 1: of you know, adult pool kids pool. But there was
Speaker 1: not a whole lot of kids there. There was maybe
Speaker 1: like a handful of kids and then our kids.
Speaker 2: It wasn't you guys. Weren't any adults only.
Speaker 1: No, there was a separate there was a separate adults
Speaker 1: section which wi I only went to one. I find
Speaker 1: the adult pool's boring. Man, no one's talking. They were
Speaker 1: just sitting around being like, I'm an adult, I get it,
Speaker 1: I get it boring. I'm like a child, Okay, so
Speaker 1: I need to be constantly entertained at all times. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So then at ten o'clock sharp, because the pool part
Speaker 1: didn't open to eleven, we were like, that's not good
Speaker 1: enough for us. Ten o'clock sharp, one of the boys
Speaker 1: to do a beer run to the servo across the street.
Speaker 1: We had a communal plastic bag because they sell the
Speaker 1: linen bags over there. Now they don't have a plastic bag,
Speaker 1: which is very progressive, and I think it's great because
Speaker 1: you got to buy them. Because you know what Barleie's like,
Speaker 1: you could be a bit of a fucking trash can.
Speaker 1: Sometimes tourists treat it like a trash can. It's our
Speaker 1: trash can, let's be honest. Sometimes but now they're not
Speaker 1: selling the plastic bags. They don't even have the plastic bag.
Speaker 1: So we're lucky we had a plastic bag because you
Speaker 1: could buy ice. Fill it up cans are bit tangs
Speaker 1: in there, buy.
Speaker 2: The pool and the grandmar's fine with this. Yeah that
Speaker 2: was like, oh my god, that shirt, this guy's back,
Speaker 2: he's got twelve buckets.
Speaker 1: I had made all the boys wear jam Pike with
Speaker 1: budget smuggled on board. Yeah, they're all over it. We
Speaker 1: were just like, let's do that. So ten o'clock.
Speaker 2: They must have thought you're on like a Bucks weekend
Speaker 2: or something with kids.
Speaker 1: He comes to the strip of the kid and then yeah,
Speaker 1: so ten o'clock on the beers, and then the pool
Speaker 1: bar would open color bits. But then of course I've
Speaker 1: got the kids and they have to have a nap,
Speaker 1: So then we all go back for a nap. Even
Speaker 1: the dad's back for a nap, and then we'd all
Speaker 1: reconvene at the pool again for the afternoon.
Speaker 2: Sashon. I'm imagining you just walking around and nothing but
Speaker 2: your budgets, your bright pink ash's face like smothered all
Speaker 2: over it.
Speaker 1: It was really funny because I ran into a really
Speaker 1: good friend of mine's parents that were there, and I
Speaker 1: was like, what are you?
Speaker 2: What was going on here?
Speaker 1: And I rang my mate, I'm like, guess what I said?
Speaker 1: What I said, I'm currently in to do it, staring
Speaker 1: at the barf, staring at the back of your dad's head.
Speaker 1: And he was just like, what a small world, classic Barley.
Speaker 1: So I had a few spare pairs of budget smuggles
Speaker 1: on me. So I gave the old boys a couple
Speaker 1: of pairs of bud Jesus Wells and then they're walking
Speaker 1: around the resort in my budgies. Boys, my mates, your
Speaker 1: dad and his friend.
Speaker 2: You're like making sure that like if you arrive at
Speaker 2: the gradmarrage, check in at your kid budgets. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Literally, people were like, well, there was like all up,
Speaker 1: there was what five of us, two other random old dudes.
Speaker 2: Like walking to the pool there and going what cult
Speaker 2: have I walked? They're like what one of us? One
Speaker 2: of us, one of us?
Speaker 1: But anyway, so then we would reconvene again. This is
Speaker 1: the routine reconvene again for the ARVO session. The kids
Speaker 1: loving it right, they're all floating around. Some of them
Speaker 1: can swim, some of them not. But you know, then
Speaker 1: you would go the kids would be like, let's go
Speaker 1: to the other end of the pool, and then you
Speaker 1: we'd all drag the kids the other end of the pool,
Speaker 1: turn around and come back. Its great, it's beautiful afternoon,
Speaker 1: and then you'd do the dinner thing and because as
Speaker 1: you were so cooked straight sleep, there's no like kicking
Speaker 1: on afterwards. But as parents, we made the trip more
Speaker 1: about us than the kids, so we all got afternoon
Speaker 1: nanny's because we're like, you know what, we're going to
Speaker 1: enjoy this. You had it was more of a like
Speaker 1: parents Booze cruise.
Speaker 2: Did every family have a nanny? Yeah, because you had
Speaker 2: a adele who we use an ur.
Speaker 1: Trip like twelve months, who's external from the resort. We
Speaker 1: also had a friend of ours that they had their
Speaker 1: nanny which was external. But then the others that didn't
Speaker 1: organize one, you can get them at the resort as
Speaker 1: well for a couple of hours.
Speaker 2: How did Macon go with the nanny Because sometimes it's
Speaker 2: really hard because we.
Speaker 1: Did a full day altogether so that we could get
Speaker 1: used to it. And she was great in the pool,
Speaker 1: like swimming around with a kid. I was chatting to
Speaker 1: ask you yesterday when we go to the shops, he
Speaker 1: was like, are we going to see Adele's? So that's
Speaker 1: great and that's what the dream, that's what you want.
Speaker 1: So that was good. But it really turned into like
Speaker 1: a parents on tour situation and where we would be
Speaker 1: like drop them off of the kids club with the nanny,
Speaker 1: off to a day club just the parents, you know,
Speaker 1: really living it up, no kids, no boundaries on money,
Speaker 1: let's just get were like, let's.
Speaker 2: Get a day there. Every day was a different day.
Speaker 1: I know, I know it was great, and but the
Speaker 1: funny thing is because it's like you've got a certain time.
Speaker 1: You're like, okay, I got the kids are going to
Speaker 1: we've got to get back, do the routine, go to bed,
Speaker 1: and then maybe the dads or the mums could kick
Speaker 1: on or even like whatever. But because you've got this
Speaker 1: certain time, the waiter was just like back and forth,
Speaker 1: back and forth. They would literally come and like take orders,
Speaker 1: bring the orders back. We'll be reordering because we were like,
Speaker 1: let's get.
Speaker 2: So two hours at work we are can't reme the
Speaker 2: name of it, but if you get a day bed, yeah,
Speaker 2: money kill that. Like so then you get that money
Speaker 2: as credit for drinks, right is that? Yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 1: So they were like, if you're going to be here,
Speaker 1: you need to hit the minimum spend this. We can
Speaker 1: let you go. And I think you needed more in
Speaker 1: order drinks and like do you know who dealing with
Speaker 1: I was like ordering a cocktail and a beer at
Speaker 1: the same time. And just because it's like you've got
Speaker 1: such a small amount of time, back and forth, back
Speaker 1: and forth, back and forth, the amount of steps at
Speaker 1: that way to message I have their phone on them
Speaker 1: because we were just like back and forth.
Speaker 2: Like it was crazy, like we're just churning through stuff. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Literally. So the first day club we did was actually
Speaker 1: one of the girl's birthdays. So the girls were like
Speaker 1: we'll say you stay here, we'll go back. We're hammered
Speaker 1: at this point, like let's get the guys, will go
Speaker 1: back to the kids, go collect the kids. Well, the
Speaker 1: kids were going to be in the hotel having dinner
Speaker 1: room service, and me and my mate were like, let's
Speaker 1: have let the kids have a little sleepover so we
Speaker 1: can keep dreaming. They just hangouts together. So we get
Speaker 1: back and the kids have eaten like beautiful. Both nannies
Speaker 1: are still there. Pay the nannies off, you go. Coh, kids,
Speaker 1: we're having a sleepover. Thinking it's an amazing idea.
Speaker 2: It's never an.
Speaker 1: Amazing at this point where I'm like ten beers deep
Speaker 1: and about ten cocktails deep, like I was pretty sloppy,
Speaker 1: but I was like, let's go, like we could do
Speaker 1: this anyway. We've got the kids all in the pajamas.
Speaker 1: Let's go. Macy and her cot. She was out like
Speaker 1: a light because she's the only one with the cop.
Speaker 1: But then we had three kids in the big bed
Speaker 1: and then there's like a little leaving space. I've ordered
Speaker 1: rooms over, the boys to have dinner, got a fridge
Speaker 1: full of beers. We can just sit here, watch a movie.
Speaker 2: What was your plan to attack with the kids? Just
Speaker 2: in the light off, close the door and hope for
Speaker 2: the best.
Speaker 1: Nah, because obviously, like every kid's got their own thing.
Speaker 1: My kid, Fine, right, I could go to Oscar go
Speaker 1: to sleep, mate, even if don't go to sleep, just
Speaker 1: be quiet. I'll put some sleep music on if you want.
Speaker 1: You guys can watch your phone for a little bit.
Speaker 1: Then it's will being like reasonable, I.
Speaker 2: Feel like you're going to shift the blame onto his kids.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I won't. I won't do that because that's
Speaker 1: it's more like that was done idea. Anyway, So these
Speaker 1: kids are just not as it's like nine o'clock pushing, pushing.
Speaker 1: Mind you, it's only one or two days in, so
Speaker 1: they haven't completely.
Speaker 2: Climatized to the time.
Speaker 1: But nine o'clock is like a ten twelve o'clock out time.
Speaker 1: Oh shit, So these kids are awake anyway. April and
Speaker 1: the other mom they come home, they've come home like, well,
Speaker 1: look what we've done. The kids were quiet in there,
Speaker 1: and we're like, look what we've done, Like this is great.
Speaker 1: They were like filthy, where are we going to sleep?
Speaker 1: They're like, what did you not think where we're all
Speaker 1: going to sleep? Because the kids are all in the bed.
Speaker 1: That's the plan, now, what's the plan now? But they've
Speaker 1: come in the door and the kids have all gone
Speaker 1: mamy and come running out. Anyway, Me and yeah, me
Speaker 1: and my mate were sitting there and like just getting
Speaker 1: an absolute dressing down for it, and we're just like
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, yeah, look, thankfully the kids slept and we
Speaker 1: all apologized and it was all okay. But you know,
Speaker 1: it's not a holiday unless you have a barneie, right, So, like,
Speaker 1: you know, there's positives to going with people because there's
Speaker 1: constant entertainment, you all agreeing on things, but then there's
Speaker 1: also negative where you come up with dumb ideas like that, but.
Speaker 2: When you're ten beers deep. And it's also it's always
Speaker 2: a good idea when yeah yeah, And also the kids
Speaker 2: love it. The idea of a sleepover when you're there
Speaker 2: with them, it's a great idea.
Speaker 1: There was a one point there where we men and
Speaker 1: my mate both laid in the bed to try and
Speaker 1: encourage them to go to sleep.
Speaker 2: And kids would have gotten drunk from your few.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure we both nodded off because we were
Speaker 1: like when we sat there, like I was woken up
Speaker 1: by the doorbell because I had ordered a burger and
Speaker 1: a pizza and I was like, eh, and then I
Speaker 1: didn't my mate didn't move and I've gotten up, got
Speaker 1: the pizzas out down. Then he stumbs down and goes,
Speaker 1: did you not off them? Like yeah, I'm pretty sure,
Speaker 1: I know the kids asleep.
Speaker 2: No. April comes home and just sitting there watching TV
Speaker 2: having a burger and fries.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a night they came in where I'm one bite
Speaker 1: into my burger and one bite into his slass of
Speaker 1: pizza watching super Bad with a full beer and my
Speaker 1: sitting there as the same thing. And they walk in
Speaker 1: and they're like, we're both like that little glance up
Speaker 1: at them and they're like, where are the kids. I'm like,
Speaker 1: they're asleep, mammy.
Speaker 2: They kind of running out.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, positives and negatives. But because you did mention before,
Speaker 1: it's like when you're with a group of people and
Speaker 1: you're like, don't want to do all the same thing.
Speaker 1: If someone wanted to go off, like they just went off,
Speaker 1: and if someone wants to go, they'll go.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was good. It was a good like we hang
Speaker 1: out with people all the time, so it was a
Speaker 1: good mix of people.
Speaker 2: Lots of bands, so handy all being at the one
Speaker 2: resort where when you're in different houses and villas, that's
Speaker 2: when it's a bit tricky, when it's like come meet here,
Speaker 2: you gotta dry. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's what the second half, because the second
Speaker 1: half of the trip was only with another couple with
Speaker 1: the same guy, I got in trouble.
Speaker 2: With classic Oh mikey boy, Oh my god.
Speaker 1: We did have our night out too, which we're like, yeah, wellmember,
Speaker 1: like ten o'clock when we were rolling at like two
Speaker 1: am asleep in the back of a cab. Anyway, that's
Speaker 1: the story for another time. Yeah, it's the logistics then,
Speaker 1: where you like, you come to our villa, you come
Speaker 1: to ours blah blah blah blah blah. But it was
Speaker 1: all round really good.
Speaker 2: Macy'st like, question, yeah, question, Yeah, because a friend of
Speaker 2: mine asked about Bali with his kids. He's got two
Speaker 2: little girls, and I think we haven't really done an
Speaker 2: all inclusive resort in Bali.
Speaker 1: What do you reckons better the rest? Look, there's definitely
Speaker 1: things like pros and cons. So the villa way more
Speaker 1: spacious in your own space, like talking, you get in
Speaker 1: a two bedroom house.
Speaker 2: You can obviously then eat your breakfast with no shirt.
Speaker 1: On, actually eating my break with no pants on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but the problem is no buffet, and the buffet is
Speaker 1: kind of like it's the dream, isn't it. Just walking
Speaker 1: around with a big plate of food thinking I can
Speaker 1: get another big plate of food. That's living.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, there's nothing to believe it.
Speaker 1: I was eating Nazi and me goring for breakfast, and
Speaker 1: then I would go and hit the pastries. I come
Speaker 1: back for a bit of baking and eggs and I
Speaker 1: go go right round to the waffles.
Speaker 2: You were living the good life.
Speaker 1: I was living a good laugh. But yeah, look, the
Speaker 1: villa is great because you get your own space. If
Speaker 1: you get like a group of four, like a group
Speaker 1: of two villas next to each other and there's another
Speaker 1: family that your friends were there, great because then you're
Speaker 1: not trying to like get to the other one, and
Speaker 1: you know, logistically, let's get a bike, get a cart,
Speaker 1: and the car takes ages because of all the bikes.
Speaker 1: That's like foxake. But yeah, overall, really good. Hot Market
Speaker 1: was hot.
Speaker 2: Barley is quite warm.
Speaker 1: It was like red hot, red on red.
Speaker 2: Hot, especially when you're drinking beers at Yeah, I see
Speaker 2: that I.
Speaker 1: Sent you that text message. I was like, I'm sitting
Speaker 1: on the toilet thinking this is where I'm going to die,
Speaker 1: a hot, sweaty mess with high blood pressure.
Speaker 2: Can we get a quick update on the hemorrhoids.
Speaker 1: Hemorrhoon's good, they're fine over there. No, didn't flare up. No,
Speaker 1: but hemorrhon's hereditary because Oscar now does he Yeah, but
Speaker 1: it's not bothering him. Oh gosh, do some massive ships
Speaker 1: that in the family anyway, So.
Speaker 2: Now you're on the full health kick.
Speaker 1: Not the full health kick. I'm on, like I just
Speaker 1: need to be better.
Speaker 2: For waffles and pastry.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I've had musically today, I had a surf
Speaker 1: this morning. Just I was a lazy ship, but I
Speaker 1: was sick for three weeks. You look great, going like
Speaker 1: a pregnanty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's nice to see you look this way, and
Speaker 2: you seem really happy.
Speaker 1: I'm happy all the time. Man, I want to be
Speaker 1: a happier person.
Speaker 2: I've never seen you smile so much. You talking about it.
Speaker 1: I'm just happy to see you in the pool was great,
Speaker 1: But like I was saying, like, sorry, I just get
Speaker 1: back to one more thing please. And this is a
Speaker 1: parenting podcast, so I will need to talk about the
Speaker 1: kids at some point. Really overall, really really good, but
Speaker 1: the heat gets to us in different ways. Macy is
Speaker 1: quite fair.
Speaker 2: So she she's almost trying to listen ship sheer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, she's she's nearly c three. Yeah, she
Speaker 1: glows in the dark, but she you know, she doesn't
Speaker 1: really deal with the heat like Oscars, who's essentially Balinese
Speaker 1: right now, Like he's got a tanline where his budgets
Speaker 1: were and it's like literally like black and white. So
Speaker 1: she was like just really just in a nappy all
Speaker 1: the time because it was too hot for her in
Speaker 1: the clothes. But the problem is within a nappy, she's
Speaker 1: just thought it was really really funny to start to
Speaker 1: taking it off wherever, which is like not a big deal.
Speaker 2: How old is she again, she'll be two in two weeks.
Speaker 2: However old that is. It's almost the cusp of being
Speaker 2: potty trained.
Speaker 1: Na, Na, no, I will go later. Okay, I don't
Speaker 1: need that again. I don't need that smoke. But she's
Speaker 1: just like taking it off, which is fine because you
Speaker 1: need to put it back on. But the problem is
Speaker 1: she takes it off and I don't know, I'm doing
Speaker 1: something else, and then she'll WII without it on. And
Speaker 1: she did this a few times where she wheez and
Speaker 1: it happens in like perfect like schedule. She'll we I
Speaker 1: don't know she we but then she'll go and then
Speaker 1: she'll probably try to move bang slip over she's fallen down.
Speaker 1: So in all these different places in Bali, she's weed
Speaker 1: Aszell freekked out and then going what or she even
Speaker 1: does the you said that video of the ice scatter
Speaker 1: is just like continuously she's like.
Speaker 2: About Toddler Wii, which is just more slippery.
Speaker 1: It's very lubricant.
Speaker 2: It's got like a hint of oil, and that.
Speaker 1: She falls down. But that was one thing I did
Speaker 1: notice about the trip. I thought it was humorous.
Speaker 2: At least, she's not shitting everywhere.
Speaker 1: No one of the other kids. Apparently one of the
Speaker 1: other kids is like backed one out in the hotel room.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like anything goes on holidays, really, but
Speaker 1: I was shocked with how behaved the kids were, so
Speaker 1: I give them.
Speaker 2: That, and how they now acclimatized to the three hour
Speaker 2: difference one night in two nights.
Speaker 1: That was the second last night Macy chaos.
Speaker 2: Last night.
Speaker 1: She's usually so good. You put her down, you don't
Speaker 1: hear a peep. She might be like what me, that'd
Speaker 1: be And then she falsely scream and like I never
Speaker 1: she was angry.
Speaker 2: She was like a bit of ve in the screen.
Speaker 1: I was like shit, And then she just.
Speaker 2: Herself out and she gave up.
Speaker 1: But this is the time of difference Oscars because they
Speaker 1: share a room Oscar Like, shut up. Anyway, I'm back.
Speaker 1: I'm back to rescue. This podcast, well, rescue is Look,
Speaker 1: that's a long shot, that's a long it was.
Speaker 2: It was nice to have a little break. And for me,
Speaker 2: the distance grows the heart fonder, or some ship we
Speaker 2: have that's not right. We're not good at distance makes
Speaker 2: the heart grow fonder, makes the heart grow fonder. It's
Speaker 2: not until something.
Speaker 1: Is gone that you don't know. That's not right.
Speaker 2: Anyway, not much has been happening.
Speaker 1: I don't know what you got to it's gone.
Speaker 2: We don't need more songs in this I remember I
Speaker 2: was like sitting at a.
Speaker 1: Bar, like the sports bar across the road from the hotel,
Speaker 1: and that song came on.
Speaker 2: Just shed it tear.
Speaker 1: You don't know much you got?
Speaker 2: Is that? When you call me?
Speaker 1: I called you to tell you about my discolored seamen.
Speaker 1: That's a story for another time as well.

Speaker 1: Now. I sent you their photo of everyone. It was
Speaker 1: like spot the bloke.
Speaker 2: Honestly, there's probably a room of like fifteen hundred people.
Speaker 2: There's about twenty guys, and there's even they had a
Speaker 2: select number of tickets where you can pay a little
Speaker 2: bit more like you sit front row and you'll see
Speaker 2: then get a meet and greet as well with Laura
Speaker 2: and Britt before the show starts. So maybe like twenty people,
Speaker 2: and you know, I have a quick chat to those
Speaker 2: people as well when they're lining up for a photo
Speaker 2: with Laura and Britt. And there will always be one
Speaker 2: or two husbands or boyfriends who will come along for
Speaker 2: the ride. You just change your whole time.

Speaker 2: there are some women that come by themselves because they
Speaker 2: love it that much, and you know, the partners looking
Speaker 2: after the kids, and I think good on the guys
Speaker 2: for coming to something where like they're not going to
Speaker 2: be into the content of the live show.

Speaker 2: One thing that I'd like to talk about, ash is
Speaker 2: I think I think this is mainly just a guy.
Speaker 2: I think looking after girls. The hardest part for me
Speaker 2: as a parent is doing their hair.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I used to do like a stock standard ponytail.
Speaker 2: This may come as a surprise, but I'm shit with
Speaker 2: long hair.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: My expertise is limited, purely just me.
Speaker 1: I'm doing the top night the ponytail at the back.
Speaker 1: I can't even do the one at the.
Speaker 2: Backd Marley's like, I want braids. Someone else are braids.
Speaker 1: They're just asking for two much now I've gotten better.
Speaker 1: They're asking for two.
Speaker 2: I've gotten better. I'm getting every day I practice now,
Speaker 2: and I think only.
Speaker 1: A true doting dad would do that.
Speaker 2: My plats are getting just a little bit better. They're
Speaker 2: still quite shit, but like a homeless pony. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: like a mutt of a pony a donkey. This is
Speaker 2: the best one I've done so fast.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, laid on me.
Speaker 2: Marley was like this is shit. I was like, what
Speaker 2: do you think? And she's like A And I'm like,
Speaker 2: I can take it out st pulling my hair and
Speaker 2: we left it in. I think it's pretty good, wasn't.
Speaker 2: The droopiness of it is that. Look, it's hard to
Speaker 2: get the plat tight to the skull. It's not bad, bro,
Speaker 2: Look it's a loose start.
Speaker 1: I'm impressed.
Speaker 2: It gets good that first glance.
Speaker 1: Funny second glance, You've done a good You've done a
Speaker 1: good job there.
Speaker 2: It's so hard, pat so tricky, and the hair is
Speaker 2: so thin and fibrous that it's just just.
Speaker 1: Be like, hey, Molly, how about this time we shave
Speaker 1: your head?
Speaker 2: But daycare? I send it a day care like that.
Speaker 1: And they fix it up immediately.
Speaker 2: They I pick her up and it's like a beautiful
Speaker 2: Elsa braid too.
Speaker 1: She's like that check off the green shirt. It's like braid.
Speaker 1: And then.
Speaker 2: And in the mornings, I'm like, who wants so I'm
Speaker 2: getting better at that, hope, Like, I thought that was
Speaker 2: pretty good. Well, I thought, if there's one thing I
Speaker 2: need to do is I didn't do more of it,
Speaker 2: and I'll get better at it. The other thing that's happened, yep,
Speaker 2: issue is Marley picks her nose loves it.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I was going to say she picks it,
Speaker 1: she eats it, and I keep saying like, yuck, dude, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Marley will be She will like eat it in front
Speaker 2: of me and be like, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2: I stop. That's so disgusting. Anyway. She also when she sleeps,
Speaker 2: she sucks her thumb and she picks her nose at
Speaker 2: the same time.
Speaker 1: I thought she rubbed her nose.
Speaker 2: Well, she she picks it so she gets a bit
Speaker 2: of like you know, jews on it, and then she rubs,
Speaker 2: rubs it on the tip of her eye, rubs. It's
Speaker 2: free weird. That's how she calms herself. She gets woken
Speaker 2: up and I have to put it back in like
Speaker 2: chained the position in bed, and I'm just like, it'suck
Speaker 2: your thumb and she just then starts rubbing her nose.
Speaker 2: It's so weird, dude. Anyway, I woke up wake it
Speaker 2: one morning because she always comes to my side when
Speaker 2: she wakes up in the middle of the nights. She
Speaker 2: comes into the room, she's coming to bed, and I'm
Speaker 2: woke it up, and I'm like, when you're half asleep still,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, what fuck is that weird? Like wet stuff.
Speaker 2: She's picked her nose so much it's bled like nothing else.
Speaker 2: There is the biggest blood patch. And also I didn't
Speaker 2: have the fucking mattress protector on there either.
Speaker 1: So this is on her bed.
Speaker 2: Well, she came to my bed, so it's in our
Speaker 2: bed like the queen bid. So then I'm like, oh, fuck,
Speaker 2: I gotta have to deal with this. Take the kids
Speaker 2: a daycare. Come back.
Speaker 1: It's like a murder scene literally, dude.
Speaker 2: Literally. It's also it's like in a position where it
Speaker 2: could almost be like period blood as well blood. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so I call this guy.
Speaker 1: Could be hemorrhoid blood.
Speaker 2: No, s cool. This guy coming is like a steam cleaner.
Speaker 1: That's wait a minute, this off the bed, not the sheets.
Speaker 1: So it's gone through the sheets onto the bed there,
Speaker 1: like just get new sheets, dude. But then you just
Speaker 1: just remember.
Speaker 2: It's soaked into the mattress. Oh and the mattress that
Speaker 2: we've got is only about two years old. It's a
Speaker 2: really great mattress.
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm going to try and which you
Speaker 1: want to plug the brand or I don't know what.
Speaker 2: I think I got it from Snooze. It's great, it's great, orthopedic,
Speaker 2: great love that anyway for you. I think we booked
Speaker 2: it on this website where it's like a third party
Speaker 2: website where you're just like you book me in a
Speaker 2: clean up murdercing one hundred and fifty bucks.
Speaker 1: Crime scene cleaners.
Speaker 2: He rocks up and I was like, one hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty bucks.
Speaker 1: Like I used to be the Bachelor daily mail turner,
Speaker 1: and they're like, I think I got ripped off.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, quite heavily. So he's rocked up, and I'm
Speaker 2: thinking one hundred and fifty bucks. It's not cheap, you know,
Speaker 2: but hopefully does a good job. Also, a few times
Speaker 2: back in the day, Marley had gastro So there's a
Speaker 2: couple of like weird stains on the mattress. So I'm like,
Speaker 2: do you know what, He'll clean the whole thing. He
Speaker 2: comes up and he looks at the mattress and he's
Speaker 2: looking at the big stain of blood plus a bit
Speaker 2: of dried gastro from back in the day. And he's like,
Speaker 2: ooh mate, this is a big job.
Speaker 1: This got you with the big job.
Speaker 2: This is going to require quite a bit of work
Speaker 2: to get this all out. So he's like it's not
Speaker 2: going to be cheap, and I was like, fuck, well,
Speaker 2: what's going to cost? And he's like, I'll do it
Speaker 2: for three fifty get out.
Speaker 1: I was like, three fifty get out of my house
Speaker 1: right now. How did the price go up?
Speaker 2: Because he's like, I need to use more chemicals and
Speaker 2: it's going to take me longer.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I can just hire that thing yourself.
Speaker 2: Bro, When the fuck do I have time to go
Speaker 2: and hire one of those machines. Busy man over here like,
Speaker 2: don't tell me you'd fucking hire that yourself. You would
Speaker 2: never just cover it up and you clip the mattress
Speaker 2: and you're like.
Speaker 1: That's fine, that's a great idea.
Speaker 2: He's got a mattress topper. Or it's like can't flip.
Speaker 2: I can't flip.
Speaker 1: That's what they get it then as well, Actually these
Speaker 1: mattress companies get I was like.
Speaker 2: Three hundred bucks and like this caught three hundred goes deal.
Speaker 2: I'm like fine, And then he's like, but listen, don't
Speaker 2: tell anyone that it costs three hundred bucks. If anyone asks,
Speaker 2: it was one hundred and fifty still, and I was like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, you get out of my house. I
Speaker 2: had to pay him one hundred and fifty and then
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty to the company, and I was like,
Speaker 2: but it was I was just I wanted it clean.
Speaker 2: I was like, I'll do whatever it takes.
Speaker 1: You have been absolutely taken for a ride.
Speaker 2: Mate.
Speaker 1: That absolute stitch up. That was like the guy who
Speaker 1: the delivery guy, who was like, I thought this was
Speaker 1: the ground.
Speaker 2: Floor for anyone wondering. I got a bit of furniture delivered.
Speaker 2: There was one set of stairs and he said the
Speaker 2: delivery instructions said it was ground floor. Hmm, one set
Speaker 2: of stairs. He tried to He's like, give me cash
Speaker 2: and I'll deliver it up the stairs.
Speaker 1: So that guy do people look at me? Do you
Speaker 1: know who's most upset about this? That guy? Because you
Speaker 1: didn't pay him. I said no to him, I paid
Speaker 1: this other and you pay this other guy who just
Speaker 1: flat out I said to you, good to don't you
Speaker 1: should ring the company and go?
Speaker 2: I was going to go, but I promised him I
Speaker 2: wouldn't be a snitch. I wasn't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't be a snitch.
Speaker 2: No, he was like he literally like eight times he
Speaker 2: was like, don't tell anyone, and.
Speaker 1: I won't tell anyone about the big pool of blood.
Speaker 2: Hey, it's good to know that if I do have
Speaker 2: a murder someone, this guy's guy cash the big job.
Speaker 1: Do you know what? Actually, I just want to go
Speaker 1: back to the mattress top. I think, Yeah, mattress companies
Speaker 1: have worked it out. This is where my brain goes. Okay,
Speaker 1: they never used to have the mattress topper. So he
Speaker 1: used to be able to flip your mattress. It would
Speaker 1: last longer. Now they put a mattress topper on us.
Speaker 2: Motherfuckers.
Speaker 1: Now you've got to replace that bad boy all the time.
Speaker 2: So now I'm sleeping in dry blood and can also.
Speaker 1: You know what, mattress companies, if you listening, put it
Speaker 1: on both sides.
Speaker 2: Also, he fucking didn't get the blood out. It was clean,
Speaker 2: and then it's like soaked back up. There's souch blood
Speaker 2: in there. So I'm like, oh my god, stop picking
Speaker 2: your nose.
Speaker 1: So there's still blood in there. Bringing back up and
Speaker 1: go bro, I promise not to tell people that you
Speaker 1: charge me this much.
Speaker 2: I don't want that criminal back in my house.
Speaker 1: He's probably thinking, I don't want to be back in
Speaker 1: that criminals. Let's go into our favorite segment, which is
Speaker 1: back this week, which is.
Speaker 2: Tell me loud, tell me all right, you've got some
Speaker 2: lies for me, ash I do. I've got off the back, off.
Speaker 1: The back of the holiday that I had that I
Speaker 1: used one effective one. I've been caught out on hit
Speaker 1: me first one flew with Jetstar.
Speaker 2: Actually wasn't too bad this person I've heard.
Speaker 1: Look, I do a Jet Star story. I probably could
Speaker 1: have told you on this episode, but I'll say I'll
Speaker 1: save it for the next time we have a flight.
Speaker 1: And I've got a bad flight story. But anyway I did,
Speaker 1: it's not the story where I saw that person's iPad.
Speaker 1: That's a different story.
Speaker 2: Twelve.
Speaker 1: I was the most spiteful moment in my life, and
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it so much. Anyway, So one line, sugget
Speaker 1: started do this announcement. After they do so the safety
Speaker 1: thing and they do the bloone the whistle exit, he exits.
Speaker 1: Here they go, if you see any unacceptable behavior, please
Speaker 1: report it to one of the staff or one of
Speaker 1: the crew. And I was like, did you hear that?
Speaker 1: To Oscar? And he was like what happened? What I
Speaker 1: was like, they just said if I see any unacceptable behavior,
Speaker 1: I have to report you to the crew. And it
Speaker 1: was what I was like, do you know what they do?
Speaker 1: They throw you off? And he was just like, holy shit,
Speaker 1: it's just like no. So that one worked really well
Speaker 1: before he forgot and he just was like but he
Speaker 1: was actually really well behaved. Maybe because he was terrified
Speaker 1: for his life. He works, man. I was as soon.
Speaker 2: It was funny because I really hope that person who
Speaker 2: complained about us disciplining putting Macy in the corner is
Speaker 2: not listening to They'll be like flipping out.
Speaker 1: Worry about it, man, I don't worry about it. Don't
Speaker 1: tell me how to parent, man. Don't come at me
Speaker 1: with any feedback because I'm not listening.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you need to instill the fear of death for
Speaker 2: your child to behave only think that works.
Speaker 1: The best thing about it was I was like, I
Speaker 1: have my head on the seat in front like that
Speaker 1: because I was thinking to myself, how am I going
Speaker 1: to get through this six hour fly with these fucking kids,
Speaker 1: and then they went any unacceptable behavior, and I went,
Speaker 1: this is an opportunity for me to lie to my children. Anyway, kids,
Speaker 1: you're getting thrown.
Speaker 2: Off the plane. I love it. Why what's your second one?
Speaker 1: So that leads into immigration. You know, when you come
Speaker 1: back into Sydney, the immigration Look, we're very strict. Great
Speaker 1: love that whatever.
Speaker 2: Also, no poultry, no meat, no plants.
Speaker 1: No, that's that's not immigration, that's customs.
Speaker 2: Very different now, but I'm gonna I'm gonna call you
Speaker 2: up and say you have to declare.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to declare. But like immigration is to
Speaker 1: come back into the country. Then you go to that
Speaker 1: next case where they look at that and they go,
Speaker 1: you've got nothing to clear. So I and everything.
Speaker 2: I've been on an overseas trip. I've been here looking
Speaker 2: up to make okay, so I, I guess, but out
Speaker 2: of the loop when it comes.
Speaker 1: To Also, when you go through that customs thing and
Speaker 1: they're like there's all these different lanes and there's one lane,
Speaker 1: Lane eight in Sydney. You're like, give me lane, ate,
Speaker 1: gimme lane because that's just exit.
Speaker 2: No, you can't get lay because you got kids.
Speaker 1: No, No, they're like lane eight. I was like, see
Speaker 1: your boot. It got a suitcase full of food. Anyway,
Speaker 1: So we were in immigration, which is where you go
Speaker 1: they check your passport where you've in standing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I am familiar with.
Speaker 1: Just checking. We're in line, and it was like, what
Speaker 1: nine thirty at night. Kids have been on an airplane
Speaker 1: all day. So anyway, they're a bit raggedy, bit ratty,
Speaker 1: ready to just go home. They haven't slept, and there's
Speaker 1: all those security looking guys walking around. And I was
Speaker 1: like to Oscar, I'm like, if they see you misbehaving,
Speaker 1: they won't let you back into the country. And he's like,
Speaker 1: what do you mean. I said me, Mommy and Macey
Speaker 1: get to go home, and you have to stay here.
Speaker 1: And like when you're looking down, you know where there's
Speaker 1: the two counters and there's the alleyway and then there's
Speaker 1: the security guard immigration guy at the end. I'm like,
Speaker 1: see that guy. You don't want to go that guy.
Speaker 2: And the guy was like, good, he's in on it.
Speaker 2: He was in on it.
Speaker 1: He's like I've seen this before. And I was like,
Speaker 1: see that guy down there, you'll stay here, and he
Speaker 1: was like no, it's just so tired too, and like
Speaker 1: just like my backfight a little bit.
Speaker 2: What Oscar is going to be petrified and flying. He's like,
Speaker 2: I don't want to go on the plane because I'll
Speaker 2: get thrown off. I don't want to get through immigration
Speaker 2: because they won't let me back in.
Speaker 1: And then where it backfired is.
Speaker 2: He's a luggage conveyor belt if you in the plane.
Speaker 1: Back on the plane back to Bali. I know that's right,
Speaker 1: he had a I gave him something to just play with,
Speaker 1: just like the visa sleep from Indonesia where they give
Speaker 1: you that visa and he's like, what's this on? Like,
Speaker 1: it's an Indonesian visa, so it's still valid, so they'll
Speaker 1: send you back. But then where it backfired for me
Speaker 1: is that Macy got loose in the immigration line, which
Speaker 1: is not good because you're in your belted off and
Speaker 1: she's small. She's taken off under the belts. She's gone
Speaker 1: and April has taken off and she's got a backpack on,
Speaker 1: and you know those belts they're like seat belts. Gets
Speaker 1: caught on the backpack. She's taken the seat belt with her.
Speaker 1: At nine o'clock at night, she's gone through immigration, the
Speaker 1: seat belt snap back and hit some old lady and
Speaker 1: she's got.
Speaker 2: Like this anyway, going to say the security guard does
Speaker 2: he come in?
Speaker 1: No? No, So Macy's ran through the thing, and April
Speaker 1: was just legging it after her with it, you know,
Speaker 1: like leaving a trail of destruction behind her as people
Speaker 1: like what the fuck's going on? And she comes back,
Speaker 1: everything's calm down. We've got through immigration. And Oscar was like,
Speaker 1: how come Macy was allowed back in?
Speaker 2: I was like, damn it.
Speaker 1: Anyway, they are my two lives for this week.
Speaker 2: Okay, I reckon we do We're going to do one, one.
Speaker 1: Of the ones where you just come up on the
Speaker 1: spot and you're like, this is the best opportunity for
Speaker 1: me to line to my kids. Anyway, Let's do some questions.
Speaker 2: Let's do one. Let's do one question. We do one.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we've been gas bagging for too long.
Speaker 1: I was money around here. I've got to get back
Speaker 1: to work.
Speaker 2: This is from Sam has written in on two Dotting
Speaker 2: Dads and he says, I have a ten month old.
Speaker 2: When she wakes up in the morning, I do everything
Speaker 2: to prolong her staying as slow. If I bring it
Speaker 2: into our bed, she babbles, she hits, she climbs all
Speaker 2: over us. What are your tips for keeping your children
Speaker 2: asleep in the morning for longer or is it a
Speaker 2: lost cause?
Speaker 1: Ten months is a bit of a lost cause.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 1: If they're breastfeeding, you can always try the boob.
Speaker 2: Back on the boob and they'll go back to sleep.
Speaker 1: But like a lot of the time, if you put
Speaker 1: them into bed, like they're saying, they think it's a
Speaker 1: fucking game, depending on what they're like in terms of
Speaker 1: like sleep schedule, I guess, or how they sleep routine, right,
Speaker 1: so you can try and repeat the routine like they're like, Oh,
Speaker 1: but sometimes dude, like ten months, there's nothing you can do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, even now with Lola, she's like two and
Speaker 2: a half and if she wakes up, she wakes up
Speaker 2: around in the window between like four thirty onwards. I know,
Speaker 2: I'm fucked. I know it's it's a nightmare. The chances
Speaker 2: of going back to sleep are like next to like
Speaker 2: the slim. Yeah, if we bring it into our bed,
Speaker 2: she's like, what's everybody up? Yeah? She wants to party? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think I sometimes do and I shouldn't do it
Speaker 2: because we've like weaned her off the bottle and bottle
Speaker 2: is like crack for her. Sometimes, if I'm really struggling,
Speaker 2: if I had a late night, I'll give her some milk,
Speaker 2: some warm milk milk, and I hope that that knocks
Speaker 2: her out. Yeah, I know, it really works.
Speaker 1: Rarely works. Look, I wish, Sam, I wish I had
Speaker 1: the right answer, but I don't.
Speaker 2: Firstly, you're asking the wrong people.
Speaker 1: Maybe let's just professional help. No, I look from experience
Speaker 1: ten months, you'll like up and adam big boy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: stuck and ask and wait for the next nap.
Speaker 2: Laura and I will take it in turns like she
Speaker 2: has the kids one morning, I have the kids in
Speaker 2: another morning. The only thing that we sometimes also do,
Speaker 2: which is a bad habit, because you're going to say that, yeah, ba,
Speaker 2: if we're really battling, we will just give Lola our
Speaker 2: phone with YouTube kids on.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well look that's my kids have got YouTube kid
Speaker 1: as soon as they wake up.
Speaker 2: But then the issue with that is that sometimes she'll
Speaker 2: wake up and she has the like she knows that
Speaker 2: she can almost taste the YouTube kids. So sometimes she'll
Speaker 2: wake up at four o'clock and she's.
Speaker 1: Like YouTube kids, like ring that shit in here, just
Speaker 1: ringing a bell.
Speaker 2: Literally, that's that's It's like it's a double edged sword, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But even even if I don't like, our kids
Speaker 1: jump on the phone with their milk or whatever in
Speaker 1: the morning every morning. So like whether I'm going back
Speaker 1: to seven buyers us an hour to do shit if
Speaker 1: they do wake up a little bit earlier. So I'm
Speaker 1: not against it.
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 1: What time your kids wake up at the moment they're
Speaker 1: on Barley time, so like mid day usually like six o'clock,
Speaker 1: we'll time you put into bed seven Okay, yeah good.
Speaker 2: I feel like that's like the standard hours standard.
Speaker 1: That's pretty standard kid kid hours.
Speaker 2: Sometimes it doesn't always work. You put them down at
Speaker 2: eight and they'll sleep until seven.
