Speaker 2: technology has changed now. They got ai that can do
Speaker 2: it all.
Speaker 3: No, no kidding. The bacinet that Bianca wants it is
Speaker 3: a robot bascinetor what do you mean?
Speaker 1: Robot nanny? Like hell, Dan, people.

Speaker 1: Now right to an expert. One thing you don't do
Speaker 1: with you don't shake it. It's not like a toy.

Speaker 1: The son that the robot has raised. Thank you, robot daddy?
Speaker 1: Who is his guy? Well, this is Jack, your actual dad.
Speaker 1: I didn't wonder who he was.
Speaker 3: I want to know what I can cross off the list,
Speaker 3: because surely you know that I don't want any robot
Speaker 3: rocking the kids. That's already off the list. It's too expensive,
Speaker 3: which figures for the Yeah, it's like three thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: Someone task some student or something to come around to
Speaker 2: do the overnight stuff.
Speaker 3: So catt bassinet, not a robotic one, Moses basket, Cocuna
Speaker 3: baby pram.
Speaker 1: She wants this special that pram. I mean you might
Speaker 1: as the car that was four figures.
Speaker 3: As well, that pram. Why does that need to be
Speaker 3: transform as well so it can transform into all kinds
Speaker 3: of things.
Speaker 2: The worst thing you've ever tried and put together in
Speaker 2: your life is that pram.
Speaker 1: Seriously, it is a nightmare. So you've got a big
Speaker 1: list there.
Speaker 3: What can I cross off the list? I want things
Speaker 3: that I don't need, surely a cart can be in
Speaker 3: Moses basketball.
Speaker 2: Already is seeing cost saving exercise because I us here right,
Speaker 2: are going to say we need to promote cha right
Speaker 2: to being the chief finance officer.
Speaker 1: They're always about what can we get rid off? We
Speaker 1: just let's outgoing?
Speaker 3: Why does he need seven places to sleep? Surely there
Speaker 3: are things that can be minimized on this list.
Speaker 1: But there's something I realized you haven't got on there
Speaker 1: the car seat.
Speaker 3: The pram turns into a car seat. Apparently it is
Speaker 3: like a transformer. Those car seats are a beaks as well.
Speaker 3: They weigh like a thousand kilos, so you meant to
Speaker 3: so you have like a car seat there.
Speaker 1: The car seat.
Speaker 2: I remember the first argument we had as parents was
Speaker 2: that I had one job learn how to fix the
Speaker 2: car seat because I just thought, same as you are
Speaker 2: it companies just clip it in the back.
Speaker 1: You Sarah leaving hospital with Ruby, our first daughter.
Speaker 3: And I had no talking about procrast You wait until
Speaker 3: the last moment.
Speaker 1: And suddenly we're leaving Osbal and Sarah even walking out.
Speaker 2: So tell me you have got the car seat already,
Speaker 2: and it's in the boot.
Speaker 3: Ruby's on the top of the car in the bass
Speaker 3: of the and you're trying to clip that.
Speaker 2: Thing in sticking out the door where I'm I think
Speaker 2: kick goes like this, and it made this Chris and
Speaker 2: I believe this.
Speaker 1: You have one job.
Speaker 2: A doctor was on his cigarette break going with me
Speaker 2: right on the other side, and he.
Speaker 1: Was like swearing, this is a beast of a thing.
Speaker 1: Well we were, and then his page.
Speaker 2: He went and he went, I gonna have to go
Speaker 2: in a minute. I went, We're almost there.
Speaker 3: We were told we kind of even put the car
Speaker 3: said in ourselves. Apparently you meant to go to baby
Speaker 3: bunting and they put it in for you.
Speaker 1: Do they just permanently in there? So you's ain't gonna
Speaker 1: fit in that.
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see your testa with baby Bobbit
Speaker 2: all over the backhead wrist.
Speaker 3: Apparently it's meant to be permanent, is it? So it's
Speaker 3: a permanent shell. And then you clip the PRAM in
Speaker 3: and out the PRAM is a transformer with the car seat.
Speaker 2: This is that the game has changed since I was
Speaker 2: lasting this game fifteen sixteen months ago. There is all right,
Speaker 2: parents who recently had babies in the last couple of years,
Speaker 2: What does does he need? All this gear now or
Speaker 2: is that too much?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: What's the have to go through the shopping list again?
Speaker 1: With that robot nanny?
Speaker 3: Okay, cot the.
Speaker 2: Roan two thousand, the snoop you know those videos you
Speaker 2: see of like Google Analytics or those like robot police Officers.
Speaker 1: We've got something. Then it's just going to turn on
Speaker 1: you one night because the robot gets already tired and
Speaker 1: a bit cranky. It's just smashing up your house, all right.
Speaker 3: So the eye nanny cut the snow, which is the
Speaker 3: robotic busn't it? The Moses basket, the Cocuna baby, the pram,
Speaker 3: the car seat, there's a special egg shaped nightlight. The
Speaker 3: bianchor ones that she saw a baby in.
Speaker 1: Scre lamb from Bunnings and say it's egg shaped. Christian
Speaker 1: Connell's show podcast.
Speaker 2: Right now, we have a dad in need, Jackie Boy,
Speaker 2: new dad to be next year. But his wife is
Speaker 2: going through that phase all women go through, nesting wants
Speaker 2: everything ready now?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Is sos, the cot ready, the basin out, the Moses basket.
Speaker 1: What is your shopping list at the moment?
Speaker 3: Yeah? On top of that, the prem the Cocuna baby,
Speaker 3: a special egg shaped nightlight. I'm just worried that there's
Speaker 3: too much stuff here that we actually don't need, and
Speaker 3: then we'll buy it all and realize, hey, we only
Speaker 3: needed the cot and the baby's fine, minimal. I just
Speaker 3: don't want to ucky.
Speaker 1: Oh, Jackie Jr.
Speaker 2: You have all that guitar and recording equipment, but your
Speaker 2: such just that's one bed.
Speaker 1: We just get the cock. Can I put the cot
Speaker 1: in the back of the boot with the car or something.
Speaker 3: I'm worried that as new parents, we're being advertised to
Speaker 3: that we need all this stuff. I'm hoping that real
Speaker 3: parents can say, hey, you don't need it all.
Speaker 2: I hope we speak to them and I hope they
Speaker 2: all come on the show going, hey you don't need
Speaker 2: any of this stuff.
Speaker 1: Patrick, good morning morning, Christian.
Speaker 4: Here you traveling.
Speaker 1: I'm good, buddy. So Dad to dad, what can you
Speaker 1: share with jack?
Speaker 4: Uh? Whatever? That on? Anything is, don't worry about that.
Speaker 4: The Moses basket. I'll probably get a lot of for this,
Speaker 4: but you don't need that either.
Speaker 3: Hot take So what is the Moses basket.
Speaker 1: It's a wicker basket, isn't it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like an old picnic basket, but it's designed
Speaker 4: for the baby.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got a picnic basket.
Speaker 2: You can't put the baby in a wood an uncomfortable wicker,
Speaker 2: sharp edges.
Speaker 4: It's the same thing. Just chuck a little mattress in
Speaker 4: there or something were.
Speaker 1: Now his dad's just trying to stumble their way into this.
Speaker 3: This is the kind of dad that I was hoping.
Speaker 3: We call out Patrick and just talk through the bs
Speaker 3: and go, you don't.
Speaker 2: You kind of like that kind of language to the
Speaker 2: art of Harrington the ps cut through it it is.
Speaker 3: I didn't think we needed a Moses basket. It didn't
Speaker 3: sound like something that I grew up with.
Speaker 1: Okay, so how are you going to transport the baby
Speaker 1: up to bed?
Speaker 3: What about that thing that comes in the pram that
Speaker 3: you take out to put in the castle? Can't we
Speaker 3: just carry that?
Speaker 1: Everybody cumbersome?
Speaker 4: Don't carry don't carry your capsule everywhere. That's that's ridiculous.
Speaker 2: You've got you've got you know what we're building here,
Speaker 2: me and Patrick and they're going to get the dance
Speaker 2: involved a council of dats.
Speaker 3: Okay, I won't carry the capsule.
Speaker 4: No use your hands.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not a bad idea.
Speaker 2: What about when he's tired, Patrick, you're doing a hard day. Well,
Speaker 2: he doesn't do a hard day's work, but.
Speaker 1: Other people we're not. That's tough. Three hours at the
Speaker 1: radio station.
Speaker 4: Don't walk into the room saying that you're tired and
Speaker 4: you can't carry the baby.
Speaker 1: Mate, Yeah, you're right, you're right.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I'm looking forward to carrying them around. So
Speaker 3: is there anything that I do need?
Speaker 4: Patrick, Honestly, if you can, if you can find this
Speaker 4: off a friend, or if you can find it off
Speaker 4: marketplace or something, snoo is actually worth its waiting goal.
Speaker 3: Is it the snow that's the robotic baby? I don't
Speaker 3: want to say doubt.
Speaker 4: It's a baby's shuttle.
Speaker 3: Yeah, robot bassinette sounds great.
Speaker 1: Weeps.
Speaker 4: We borrowed one off a friend, and I'm super skeptic
Speaker 4: on all that sort of stuff, but that thing is unreal.
Speaker 4: Put the baby in, even if they're a bit restless.
Speaker 4: Press the button.
Speaker 1: Like a baby prison.
Speaker 5: This is my if his rest is getting them is
Speaker 5: coming up.
Speaker 4: Sounds like doubles up as a cut and as a
Speaker 4: co sleeper. So honestly, just go with that.
Speaker 1: That sounds amazing.
Speaker 3: That's what I want. I'm just one of those I
Speaker 3: want to outsource it. So I thought it was three grand.
Speaker 3: It's one thousand, one hundred and eighty five. But if
Speaker 3: it's doing all the heavy.
Speaker 1: You hear me, listen, listen.
Speaker 2: If you hear me doing some liveries, very soon you'll
Speaker 2: know he's got a freebie. And you know the down
Speaker 2: five five thousand, treat yourself sixteen hundred. It's a bargain,
Speaker 2: you know, he's got a cheeky one.
Speaker 4: Honestly, Matte, it's worth it if you can get your
Speaker 4: hands on one.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 4: And we're road one off of mate, and yeah they're
Speaker 4: they're honestly worth it.
Speaker 1: So that's good advice.
Speaker 4: But yeah, mate, congrats with the upcoming baby and all
Speaker 4: the best ones are.
Speaker 1: Thank you Patrick, Thanks, Patra, have a good week.
Speaker 2: Let's go to Josh coome on ing Hi here you're going, yeah,
Speaker 2: good Josh. What can you advise to Jackie boy?
Speaker 6: So probably the best thing that me and my wife
Speaker 6: got was we got we've gotta I mean, you can
Speaker 6: get a feeding chair, but I guess it's like it's
Speaker 6: like getting anything for a wedding. You put wedding on
Speaker 6: it and they double the price. As long as you
Speaker 6: get you get yourself a good comfortable requireable chair because
Speaker 6: you're going to fall asleep in it. And I probably
Speaker 6: slept in that thing for two months solid with the
Speaker 6: baby in my hand.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Josh, because you're one.
Speaker 2: I got my wife on these feeding chairs because quite
Speaker 2: a few women said to me it's worth every money,
Speaker 2: and it seemed. But it's a rocking chair and it's
Speaker 2: even got like a footstool that moves in sync as
Speaker 2: she's feeding on it. And then you'll be doing a
Speaker 2: lot of the sort of feeds and through the night
Speaker 2: stuff as well.
Speaker 1: It's so comfortable and they got to sleep in the
Speaker 1: baby go.
Speaker 3: So it's a specialized baby product. You've got to get
Speaker 3: it at a baby store.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can't get a bunnies, just get a chair.
Speaker 5: It sounds like put on some wheels. Yeah, I do
Speaker 5: like the idea of reclining.
Speaker 1: You'll be using it.
Speaker 2: I positioned it in front of the TV so that
Speaker 2: when Sarah wasn't used I would just put my feet
Speaker 2: up and have a beer and.
Speaker 1: Stuff like that. You know. But yeah, they are they're
Speaker 1: great those Josh. That's great advice. Thank you. One last one, Adrian.
Speaker 7: Morning, guys, how are you?
Speaker 1: We're good? It's good that a mam has shown up.
Speaker 7: Now, well I'm not actually my mom maternal health nurse
Speaker 7: and yes, but my kids have had kids. So look,
Speaker 7: you don't need all this stuff. It's way too much.
Speaker 3: What's the essentials beare essentials.
Speaker 1: Saying?
Speaker 2: Bear essentials? That's all you want, is it? That's your contribution.
Speaker 2: You've done you a bit of you.
Speaker 1: Baby.
Speaker 7: The baby will be slipping on you and b anchor
Speaker 7: for a number of hours a day. They won't even
Speaker 7: go in the Moses basket.
Speaker 1: I don't worry about it's your jack. Just recorder to
Speaker 1: the floor that he went what that skin to skin
Speaker 1: contact a standpoint.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he can chill on there for a little bit,
Speaker 3: but then he goes in the robot basket after the mike.
Speaker 2: Are you in nineteen fifties dad.
Speaker 1: With the wolf?
Speaker 7: My goodness, grow up on the phone with a little
Speaker 7: That robot.
Speaker 1: Is all right.
Speaker 3: So you're saying, essentially I don't need anything, Well.
Speaker 7: You need a good cat and you also need to
Speaker 7: check with your prem that it fits in your car.
Speaker 7: Client of mine, I had to buy a new car
Speaker 7: because the pram was like a limousine. Yeah, I'm worried
Speaker 7: wouldn't sit in the.
Speaker 3: Car I'm honestly worried about the PRAM.
Speaker 2: I wait, we'll see you driving in that test that
Speaker 2: one day with one of those you walks.
Speaker 1: He's in there in the old robot prison whatever it is.
Speaker 7: The p Yes, the prayer. You need to be able
Speaker 7: to collapse with one hand because you're holding onto the
Speaker 7: baby with the other.
Speaker 1: That's true. Actually, it's just like one lever.
Speaker 3: Can you get away with just having one of those
Speaker 3: running strollers?
Speaker 7: Yes, but they're very heavy.
Speaker 3: I thought they were light because the idea was you
Speaker 3: run with them and just push.
Speaker 1: The heavy old thing.
Speaker 7: They're heavy.
Speaker 3: What about when I honestly, when I was a baby,
Speaker 3: my mum had this stroller that it looked like it
Speaker 3: came out of a showbag. It was so flimsy.
Speaker 2: Probably did do if you ever talk to right what
Speaker 2: it was like when they were kids, Like we just
Speaker 2: had a tim barth. Yeah, we lived in it.
Speaker 3: It was so flimsy. It was tiny. It would have
Speaker 3: folded up into the size of a laptop. Can I
Speaker 3: get one of those?
Speaker 7: Well you might use it.
Speaker 3: Yes, there you go.
Speaker 7: Get one out of this show, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Adrian, And thank you very much to give us
Speaker 1: a call.
Speaker 4: Have a good week, it's a pleasure.
