0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:40.800
<v Speaker 1>This is the house rules. But keeping in mind, this

0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:42.440

0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:53.680
<v Speaker 1>a couple Yeah, you must be eight years or over

0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:55.080
<v Speaker 1>to plate on the pool table.

0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:56.280
<v Speaker 2>That's discrimatory.

0:06:56.320 --> 0:07:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Someone's put a cheeky zero next to it. Eighty that's me.

0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:06.719
<v Speaker 1>All indoor and outdoor gardens and lawns, plants, Sorry, it

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:09.400
<v Speaker 1>must be watered, must be before you leave. Did you

0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:13.240
<v Speaker 1>water the plants after using washing machine? Turn off power

0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:15.880
<v Speaker 1>and hot and cold water tap? That's fair enough. No

0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 1>children allowed to walk around with food or dirty hands.

0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Asuugh.

0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Everything you use must be cleaned, especially the stove, toilet, basin, showers.

0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:30.600
<v Speaker 1>No perishable foods to be left in the pantry or fridge.

0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:34.040
<v Speaker 1>And then it's just randomly that's rule six. But then

0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:37.360
<v Speaker 1>it's got have a nice day. And then it goes

0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:39.160
<v Speaker 1>on to rule seven. It's like, is it just like

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.040
<v Speaker 1>a have like a little break in the middle.

0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.720
<v Speaker 2>The Dad's like, I won't, I won't do too many rules,

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:45.400
<v Speaker 2>and then he's like, have a nice day he would have.

0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:46.720
<v Speaker 1>He's walked away.

0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:49.960
<v Speaker 2>I got another one, the outdoor barbecue.

0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:52.640
<v Speaker 1>It's froe of the writing. It's smaller and smaller. Tom. Yeah,

0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:55.160
<v Speaker 1>all windows and doors must be locked when you leave

0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:58.400
<v Speaker 1>the house. That's fair enough. All garbage must be taken

0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:00.920
<v Speaker 1>with you when you leave, fair enough. What about the

0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:03.679
<v Speaker 1>being outside? Do not add rules to the list.

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.240
<v Speaker 2>This is my list, and one will touch it a tan.

0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:12.080
<v Speaker 1>All children must be taken with you when you leave.

0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:14.840
<v Speaker 1>It is unfair to leave them for others.

0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I wonder how many times one of the

0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 2>cousins is rocked up and they've opened the door and

0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:22.200
<v Speaker 2>there's like three children sitting there, like, ah, God, damn,

0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 2>I here again, I had.

0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:26.400
<v Speaker 1>To explain that whether were, it must be taken with

0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 1>you when you leave. It's unfair to leave them for others.

0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Why would I leave my kids for others.

0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:35.240
<v Speaker 2>He's having a bit of bands here, do you reckon?

0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:38.280
<v Speaker 2>He's trying to like soften the strictness of the rules

0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:39.760
<v Speaker 2>by like I'll put in one little joke.

0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Now, this is the thing, and like I said, keeping

0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.480
<v Speaker 1>in mind, this is on the back of the toilet door,

0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:48.960
<v Speaker 1>so you shut the door there it is you're sitting

0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:49.839
<v Speaker 1>down doing your business.

0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:51.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to say that's a weird place to have

0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:52.000
<v Speaker 2>the rule.

0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:53.760
<v Speaker 1>I know, but then it had this is the last rule.

0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Do not read this notice while on the toilet. Concentrate

0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:02.400
<v Speaker 1>on what you're doing. I'm not making this up.

0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Who was this person, Let's find this rule writer.

0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:06.680
<v Speaker 1>It's fuck.

0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Are they? They was something that they could?

0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they were churchy. Not our friends, but the extended family.

0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.600
<v Speaker 1>So the grandmother used to live there before she died.

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:20.559
<v Speaker 1>She was the sort of person that was like if

0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:23.120
<v Speaker 1>it's all these single beds because there was no sex

0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:25.160
<v Speaker 1>allowed in the house, like unless you were married or

0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:28.199
<v Speaker 1>at all. She's called them sex parties. No sex parties here.

0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:30.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, so then how did you in April sleep? What

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:31.320
<v Speaker 2>was this set up there?

0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, we don't have sex anyway, so.

0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:35.679
<v Speaker 2>That is a lie.

0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:37.480
<v Speaker 1>We're we're in single beds.

0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:39.120
<v Speaker 2>You in April and single beds?

0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there we were.

0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:42.640
<v Speaker 2>Did you not do you not try and like sneak

0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:44.520
<v Speaker 2>in together and have like a little cheeky one.

0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:46.760
<v Speaker 1>And I didn't want to. I didn't want to be

0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.000
<v Speaker 1>schmited by the Holy spirits?

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she would have been watching down for sure.

0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:53.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. But it was a it was

0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.040
<v Speaker 1>a really really fun trip. There's one thing that really

0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:59.680
<v Speaker 1>fucking angered me, and this is just me having.

0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:01.240
<v Speaker 2>A win other than the rules.

0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Rules I thought were funny because I just made a

0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:06.920
<v Speaker 1>joke about them the whole time. So you can't break

0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:10.480
<v Speaker 1>the rules. But we went down to like this cafe

0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:13.520
<v Speaker 1>and park, like a park and whatever, and we're just

0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:16.640
<v Speaker 1>having coffee and there was a couple there with two dogs,

0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:21.280
<v Speaker 1>and you know, my thought, dogs aren't kids. They kept

0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.560
<v Speaker 1>referring to their dogs. Come on, kids. They were like,

0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.480
<v Speaker 1>come on, kids, come here, kids, And I was like, wait,

0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:30.760
<v Speaker 1>this couple, couple, they've already got kids though they had

0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:33.040
<v Speaker 1>two dogs, and they were calling them kids.

0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Do they have them in prams? Or that's not as bad?

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.280
<v Speaker 1>They went on leads, but they were going, come on, kids,

0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:43.320
<v Speaker 1>come on, and I was like, they're not fucking kids,

0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.480
<v Speaker 1>they're dogs. That shits me.

0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:49.960
<v Speaker 2>I'll let them have them money because we suffer every

0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:51.320
<v Speaker 2>day because of the kids.

0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:54.600
<v Speaker 1>And they essentially, what they're saying to me is that

0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:56.079
<v Speaker 1>this is as hard as it.

0:10:56.120 --> 0:11:00.560
<v Speaker 2>Is for you, or what they could be saying is

0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:02.720
<v Speaker 2>that they treat their pets with so much love and

0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:06.840
<v Speaker 2>affection and they value their company so much that they

0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:08.880
<v Speaker 2>could only ever refer to them not as a pet

0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:10.080
<v Speaker 2>but as a child.

0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:11.959
<v Speaker 1>I knew you wouldn't agree with me.

0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:15.520
<v Speaker 2>But disagreeing with you is one of the things that

0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:16.920
<v Speaker 2>I love to do in this world as.

0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, anyway, so that was that that really shited me.

0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:21.080
<v Speaker 2>Did you let them know?

0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.800
<v Speaker 1>I just did the shake of the head a little.

0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:28.440
<v Speaker 2>Eye roll, and then did you whisper to someone else?

0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:31.640
<v Speaker 2>They're not even they're not even better? And how dare they?

0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:36.200
<v Speaker 1>How dare they? Their kids have four leggs freaks. Anyway,

0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.719
<v Speaker 1>they're really airy.

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Why that was funny, mate.

0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the trip I've been on a few trips with

0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:49.960
<v Speaker 1>other parents.

0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:53.040
<v Speaker 2>I know you have, mate, I know which there's a lot.

0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Of pros and a lot of content. I just I

0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:56.120
<v Speaker 1>don't have a list. I'm just going to rattle off

0:11:56.160 --> 0:12:02.160
<v Speaker 1>what I was thinking. Pros there's extra hands, right because

0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:05.720
<v Speaker 1>yet they've got kids. But then collectively it seems like

0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.280
<v Speaker 1>it's more easy to manage all these kids when you've

0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:09.440
<v Speaker 1>got more adults.

0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:13.920
<v Speaker 2>I would say it's sometimes it's easier to hide as well.

0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm getting to that. Sorry, So there's more hands.

0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.280
<v Speaker 1>So I always do this, or I'm like, do you

0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:22.480
<v Speaker 1>mind watching my kids? Well you felt for that. That's

0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.800
<v Speaker 1>how good I am at it.

0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:31.000
<v Speaker 2>That tone was perfect, and I was like, just sick

0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:33.000
<v Speaker 2>and I'll just go to the pub.

0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Thirty minutes later, I come back and where.

0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:38.160
<v Speaker 2>Are driving off down the driveway?

0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so there's that. There's also another pro is that

0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:45.040
<v Speaker 1>you pick up other things that people do, like tricks

0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:45.960
<v Speaker 1>and tips and stuff.

0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:47.640
<v Speaker 2>Did you pick anything up?

0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:54.080
<v Speaker 1>No, I did, subconsciously. But then also cons okay, and

0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:57.120
<v Speaker 1>the biggest con is that they really when you're around

0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:00.760
<v Speaker 1>other parents that are really good at parenting, really exposes

0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:04.720
<v Speaker 1>your poor parenting. So one of the mums is there's

0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:07.720
<v Speaker 1>very diligent, very loving mum, very good at what she does.

0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:10.199
<v Speaker 1>I just followed her around.

0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:10.560
<v Speaker 2>Just copying her.

0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Just I was just like, what is she doing that

0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:17.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm not turns out a lot like she was like, Oh,

0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:19.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to make the kids some lunch. And I

0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.520
<v Speaker 1>was like, yeah, MASI you want to do? You want

0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:23.760
<v Speaker 1>a sandwich or whatever? And I was like yeah, because

0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:25.800
<v Speaker 1>she never eats the full sandwich or she just walks

0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.319
<v Speaker 1>around with it. And I was like, oh, I'll give

0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:30.560
<v Speaker 1>her a peanut butter sandwich, just one piece of bread

0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 1>and I call it a foldover. So you followed it over? Bang?

0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, great.

0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:37.280
<v Speaker 1>Didn't even give her a plate, which I actually.

0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:40.400
<v Speaker 2>I will defend you here because I would say nine

0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:41.880
<v Speaker 2>and a percent of the time if I give anything

0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:43.800
<v Speaker 2>to Lola, she's not going to sit down, She's going

0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:45.440
<v Speaker 2>to go wandering with it. So a plate is just

0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.400
<v Speaker 2>something that's going to a need to be washed later on,

0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:49.679
<v Speaker 2>or be be broken.

0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Or find it somewhere else. Yeah, down the track. So

0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:54.400
<v Speaker 1>there was that, and then by the time here you go,

0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Macy turned around. She's bloody cut and crust off sandwiches

0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:02.240
<v Speaker 1>and double buttering bread and she's got peanut.

0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Butter veggie MYI. I love how you're like cheese. I

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.360
<v Speaker 2>couldn't believe my eyes. She made a sandwich with two

0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:14.160
<v Speaker 2>bits of bread. You're They're like, holy shit, mind is

0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:17.840
<v Speaker 2>being blown. She's there like going to the toilet and

0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:19.440
<v Speaker 2>like doing a piss and a toilet and you're like,

0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:22.280
<v Speaker 2>what is this how the other half lives?

0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:26.400
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, I was like, oh, double buddy,

0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:32.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm pathetic. So I was sitting there at the kitchen

0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:34.600
<v Speaker 1>counter and like I was just like, oh, that tastes

0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:36.640
<v Speaker 1>like just like picking at this. She's made like a

0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:37.360
<v Speaker 1>full platter.

0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:40.040
<v Speaker 2>She's feeding the kids, and you're just like sitting down

0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:46.000
<v Speaker 2>at the table. Literally she fed me. I was like, Susan,

0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:48.000
<v Speaker 2>I've got to go to the bathroom. You couldn't could

0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:50.080
<v Speaker 2>want my ask for me could first.

0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Watch my kids when I go to the bathroom for

0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:55.200
<v Speaker 1>an hour. But then like she's doing the sandwiches and stuff,

0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, whoa diligence is that? What that looks like?

0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:01.400
<v Speaker 1>And I cuts into squares, also cut the crust off

0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:04.720
<v Speaker 1>before even buttering it unnecessary? What's that about?

0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:05.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:07.720
<v Speaker 1>I was like, you really, the crust is the structural

0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:13.080
<v Speaker 1>integrity of the bread. Little said anyway. So she does that,

0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:15.680
<v Speaker 1>and she goes to the fridge, opens the fridge, and

0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:19.000
<v Speaker 1>then I've got distracted come back and she's like cutting

0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:23.200
<v Speaker 1>up carrots and celery and I was like, what is this.

0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:26.600
<v Speaker 1>They're not going to eat that. White kids won't. They

0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:27.840
<v Speaker 1>just don't. But I was like, what do you call it?

0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:30.320
<v Speaker 2>She just like, it's just this, yeah.

0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:34.560
<v Speaker 1>As my grandmother calls it a snorger sport. I literally

0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:37.920
<v Speaker 1>just got a piece of bread, didn't even butter the thing.

0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.440
<v Speaker 1>I just slapped a bit of peanut butter on there,

0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:42.920
<v Speaker 1>folded it over and said there you go.

0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Question. Yeah, did you feel judged or inadequate in any way?

0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:50.320
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:53.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, I don't think so Okay, I'm.

0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.040
<v Speaker 1>Talking about it, dreking.

0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:59.280
<v Speaker 2>They're driving home being like, did you see what Ash

0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:00.880
<v Speaker 2>was feeding his children?

0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Look, I'm there for the lulls, all right, there for

0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:07.440
<v Speaker 1>the laugh, not my parenting skills. Just so diligent, and

0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:11.720
<v Speaker 1>I respect it, respect the player, respect the game. And

0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:13.880
<v Speaker 1>I was just like, well played.

0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:17.440
<v Speaker 2>Did you say anything to her partner and go You've

0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:19.680
<v Speaker 2>got a fucking outstanding partner here.

0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:25.800
<v Speaker 1>No, he already knows well you should.

0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:27.560
<v Speaker 2>It would just make him too arrogant if he was

0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:28.760
<v Speaker 2>to be reminded.

0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Reminded of the time that your wife can make a

0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:32.840

<v Speaker 2>Just isn't she? Bottle of tequila down by the beach.

0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:54.960
<v Speaker 1>One off to bed anyway. So yeah, good weekend except

0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:59.000
<v Speaker 1>for the dogs being called kids hate that, the rules

0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:04.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of funny, and the exposure of my poor parenting.

0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:09.000
<v Speaker 2>I do think being away, like there's very few scenarios

0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:11.199
<v Speaker 2>other than the park. I guess where you get to

0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:14.400
<v Speaker 2>have so many other people who you don't know had

0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:17.960
<v Speaker 2>their parenting on full display. And where we were staying

0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:21.000
<v Speaker 2>was like a little place, little resort in.

0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:25.560
<v Speaker 1>It's just like a really little niche boutique resorts.

0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:29.639
<v Speaker 2>No, how should I describe it. It had a pool,

0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:31.240
<v Speaker 2>it had villas made.

0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Just tell it what it is. It's a fucking five

0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:36.360
<v Speaker 1>star resort. It's not, but you earned it.

0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:38.480
<v Speaker 2>It's not. It's four it's full star, four and a half.

0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:40.240
<v Speaker 2>It's four. The minute it's like four and a half.

0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:42.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking at that right now, shure and like there's

0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:43.000
<v Speaker 2>no need for that.

0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:45.800
<v Speaker 1>Well there is a need, but one you're talking.

0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:49.359
<v Speaker 2>One of the places where the parenting of others is

0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:52.760
<v Speaker 2>on display is the pool in a resort, because everyone

0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:56.480
<v Speaker 2>is there where we were staying like a four point six.

0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:58.919
<v Speaker 1>What point six someone's left for a review being like

0:17:59.040 --> 0:17:59.760
<v Speaker 1>not knife and half.

0:17:59.880 --> 0:18:05.080
<v Speaker 2>It was so by the pool. It's this big lagoon

0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:07.239
<v Speaker 2>pool and it is a great pool there. Everyone's got

0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:07.679
<v Speaker 2>I was.

0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:09.439
<v Speaker 1>Lucky enough to stay there once. I saved up for

0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:11.440
<v Speaker 1>three years and then eventually got spent one night there.

0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:16.160
<v Speaker 2>You fucking you know the manager, you know like half

0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:18.879
<v Speaker 2>the staff that worked there because you swindling free trips.

0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, baby, so anyway, very good at going things for free.

0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:24.679
<v Speaker 2>Now, this story, Ash is quite tough for me to

0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:31.440
<v Speaker 2>talk about. I just that's how I open up. Always

0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:35.639
<v Speaker 2>makes it about himself. I'm gonna pimple in my nose. Okay,

0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:38.480
<v Speaker 2>do you want to take a second, carry on, I'll

0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:41.040
<v Speaker 2>get through it. This story, Ash is quite hard for

0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:41.720
<v Speaker 2>me to talk about.

0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:43.439
<v Speaker 1>Okay, serious, face on.

0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:46.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I've ever felt so rejected by my

0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:51.560
<v Speaker 2>child ever. I like to think of myself as someone

0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:57.000
<v Speaker 2>who enjoys playing with my children. Like I get down on.

0:18:56.920 --> 0:18:59.080
<v Speaker 1>The level because you're like a child.

0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:01.000
<v Speaker 2>I am like a child, That's what I am. I

0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:02.840
<v Speaker 2>still look in the mirror and I see an eighteen

0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:05.040
<v Speaker 2>year old. I don't see a thirty six year old.

0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Does it like? It's not me? I don't feel like

0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:11.040
<v Speaker 2>i've my children anyway. But there was another dad who

0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:14.880
<v Speaker 2>we were friends for a brief period about fifteen years ago,

0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:18.400
<v Speaker 2>lovely guy at the resort, and he was there with

0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:22.560
<v Speaker 2>his two children. By chance, Laura was getting a massage

0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:24.800
<v Speaker 2>at this point. I was with the kids in the

0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:28.000
<v Speaker 2>pool and I had a situation where all of a sudden,

0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:30.639
<v Speaker 2>Lola wanted to go to the toilet, and I was like,

0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:32.680
<v Speaker 2>just do it in the pool, but she wanted to

0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:35.959
<v Speaker 2>get the toilet. So my friend was like, hey, it's fine,

0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:38.639
<v Speaker 2>I'll look after. There's a little like a shallow area

0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:41.040
<v Speaker 2>if you will, where he was with his girls, and

0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:42.840
<v Speaker 2>he's like, all right, I can look after Marley. It's

0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:44.639
<v Speaker 2>just the toilets right around the corner. I'll be going

0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:46.359
<v Speaker 2>a minute or two. And he's like, I'll look after her.

0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:48.439
<v Speaker 2>And I was like okay, great, So I took Lola.

0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:50.320
<v Speaker 2>I came back and.

0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:54.480
<v Speaker 1>Don't trust the stranger man.

0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:58.400
<v Speaker 2>And he had two children. One was very similar age

0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:01.320
<v Speaker 2>to Marley. And as I was walking back to the pool,

0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:05.280
<v Speaker 2>even before I saw Marley, I just heard happy laughter

0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:08.880
<v Speaker 2>from Marley time of her life. And I thought to myself,

0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:11.280
<v Speaker 2>isn't that great, Like it's so lovely that I can

0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:14.080
<v Speaker 2>just leave Marley with an old friend who I haven't

0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:16.240
<v Speaker 2>seen in a long time, and she's having a great time.

0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:18.359
<v Speaker 2>But then when I came back and I was like, hey, Marley,

0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:22.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm back, she was like fuck, oh, I'm with him now.

0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:23.959
<v Speaker 1>I found a new family.

0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:27.399
<v Speaker 2>And she was completely obsessed. He was playing these games

0:20:27.440 --> 0:20:29.440
<v Speaker 2>where he would like pretend to turn around and fall

0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:33.520
<v Speaker 2>over and and like my kid, Marley just he was

0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:35.080
<v Speaker 2>I was thank you.

0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:38.720
<v Speaker 1>I was out dadded wow wow.

0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:41.280
<v Speaker 2>And it was to the point where I was cramp.

0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I was cramping, like yeah, well because.

0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:46.560
<v Speaker 1>I had to pretend like I was in trying to

0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:50.480
<v Speaker 1>coax his kids over to you. I did.

0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:53.000
<v Speaker 2>As I came towards one of his children, they were.

0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Like and I was like predator, preator, predator, And you know.

0:20:58.520 --> 0:21:01.159
<v Speaker 2>In those moments were like you don't. I don't know.

0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:04.760
<v Speaker 2>I just I was like I was crumbling under the pressure.

0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:06.920
<v Speaker 2>And then all of a sudden, Lola was like, well

0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:08.840
<v Speaker 2>that looks like a lot of fun. I want to

0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:11.600
<v Speaker 2>hang out with this guy. And so now this guy

0:21:11.720 --> 0:21:13.960
<v Speaker 2>and he was also then like trying to back off.

0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:15.679
<v Speaker 2>He kind of knew that I was. He knew he

0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:18.800
<v Speaker 2>was to overstep, so then he was like trying to downplay.

0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:20.320
<v Speaker 2>But then as he was down playing it and he

0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:22.480
<v Speaker 2>was playing hard to get with Marley, she wanted to

0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:27.480
<v Speaker 2>play with them even more, and she's like hanging off him, and.

0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:31.680
<v Speaker 1>I was just like, get inside, Marley, Yeah, just tell

0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:32.320
<v Speaker 1>her off for it.

0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:39.440
<v Speaker 2>I was outdauded but long all day all day, so

0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:42.240
<v Speaker 2>got a break, yeah yeah, yeah. I was like on

0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:45.119
<v Speaker 2>the day bed, just like just in tears.

0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:47.440
<v Speaker 1>Watching your kids betray you.

0:21:48.160 --> 0:21:53.119
<v Speaker 2>Having the time of their life with another dad. It's tough,

0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:54.880
<v Speaker 2>isn't It Fucking hurts.

0:21:55.760 --> 0:22:02.080
<v Speaker 1>It does hurt, But at the same time, it's like, Okay, if.

0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:03.199
<v Speaker 2>I could enjoy then, like my own time, because like

0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:05.639
<v Speaker 2>if Laura was there, it would have been fine, because

0:22:05.760 --> 0:22:07.959
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I just felt you felt left out.

0:22:08.000 --> 0:22:11.280
<v Speaker 2>I just felt left out, mate, I just felt left that.

0:22:11.240 --> 0:22:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Kid in the park that was like no one wanted

0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:15.640
<v Speaker 1>to play. It's like there's always that kid that stinks

0:22:16.400 --> 0:22:19.280
<v Speaker 1>you were it was I was the stinky kid.

0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:22.160
<v Speaker 2>Another thing that I want to say, which is really

0:22:22.200 --> 0:22:25.880
<v Speaker 2>annoying as a parent to a young toddler. Molly's quite

0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:28.480
<v Speaker 2>good now. It's swimming. She can pretty much swim by herself.

0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:33.280
<v Speaker 2>And Lola, she's ton half terrible swim I cannot swim.

0:22:33.080 --> 0:22:34.159
<v Speaker 1>Sinker or a floater.

0:22:34.680 --> 0:22:39.040
<v Speaker 2>Ah, look she she doesn't sink immediately, takes her a second.

0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:40.120
<v Speaker 1>That headed flow surely.

0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, she like the legs will go down and

0:22:44.800 --> 0:22:48.320
<v Speaker 2>yeah yeah by the Titanic as it's like before like

0:22:48.720 --> 0:22:50.680
<v Speaker 2>the last bit of air releases and she's down to

0:22:50.720 --> 0:22:54.960
<v Speaker 2>the bottom. But she absolutely hates it when you like

0:22:55.040 --> 0:22:56.240
<v Speaker 2>save her from drownings.

0:22:56.240 --> 0:22:57.480
<v Speaker 1>What you meant by your story?

0:22:57.720 --> 0:22:59.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And so like if we go to the water's air,

0:23:00.240 --> 0:23:03.200
<v Speaker 2>she's so confident she'll just run and just jump in

0:23:03.240 --> 0:23:05.159
<v Speaker 2>the water. And then after the second she'll sink to

0:23:05.200 --> 0:23:07.880
<v Speaker 2>the bottom. You're like, well, I'll save her. I'll lift

0:23:07.880 --> 0:23:09.320
<v Speaker 2>her back up. And then we get to the top

0:23:09.359 --> 0:23:13.600
<v Speaker 2>and she's like, what are you doing to get off me?

0:23:13.640 --> 0:23:16.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to be saved. Dad, stop it.

0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:18.159
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like all right, So then I've put it

0:23:18.240 --> 0:23:20.520
<v Speaker 2>back on the edge and she just keeps jumping back in.

0:23:21.480 --> 0:23:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Make she did the same thing, but she she doesn't

0:23:23.560 --> 0:23:27.000
<v Speaker 1>mind if you try and save a life. Hated it.

0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:27.199
<v Speaker 2>Well.

0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Oscar was like that until we went to balley just

0:23:29.760 --> 0:23:31.399
<v Speaker 1>recently and I saw all the other kids that they

0:23:31.400 --> 0:23:33.960
<v Speaker 1>were better at swimming, and then he's just like leaps

0:23:33.960 --> 0:23:36.800
<v Speaker 1>and bounds ahead. Now, we were at my father in

0:23:36.880 --> 0:23:39.120
<v Speaker 1>law's house and he's got a pool and he took

0:23:39.160 --> 0:23:41.280
<v Speaker 1>his floaties off because he was in like the little spa,

0:23:41.400 --> 0:23:43.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, a little spark the pool with it. Forgotten

0:23:43.560 --> 0:23:45.080
<v Speaker 1>that he took him off and then went and jumped

0:23:45.119 --> 0:23:47.560
<v Speaker 1>in the big pool straight to the bottom.

0:23:47.720 --> 0:23:48.760
<v Speaker 2>That's the problem with it.

0:23:49.440 --> 0:23:51.120
<v Speaker 1>It was like straight in after him.

0:23:52.200 --> 0:23:54.359
<v Speaker 2>Well because everyone's like, just put her in float but

0:23:54.359 --> 0:23:57.320
<v Speaker 2>then that builds her confidence even more. But was that

0:23:57.520 --> 0:23:59.280
<v Speaker 2>little thought my head where I was. I was kind

0:23:59.280 --> 0:24:03.080
<v Speaker 2>of going, don't I let her like panic for a second,

0:24:03.600 --> 0:24:04.960
<v Speaker 2>just to let her know that she does.

0:24:04.880 --> 0:24:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Need a semi drowned just for a moment.

0:24:07.119 --> 0:24:09.480
<v Speaker 2>So I'm standing there watching my child like sink to

0:24:09.480 --> 0:24:11.400
<v Speaker 2>the bottom, and another mom was like, I think you're

0:24:11.720 --> 0:24:14.360
<v Speaker 2>think of doing kids dead, And I was like, she's fine.

0:24:14.840 --> 0:24:15.840
<v Speaker 1>She doesn't want to be saved.

0:24:15.880 --> 0:24:17.040
<v Speaker 2>She's fine.

0:24:17.320 --> 0:24:19.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing a voice over for the lifeguards this week.

0:24:19.359 --> 0:24:20.920
<v Speaker 1>She doesn't need to be saved. I know what I'm doing.

0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:23.520
<v Speaker 2>Meanwhile, Laura comes back from a massage, sees Miley painting

0:24:23.800 --> 0:24:25.800
<v Speaker 2>with another dad. I'm just watching my child sink to

0:24:25.840 --> 0:24:28.840
<v Speaker 2>the bottom with a beer in hand. Hey, honey, how

0:24:28.920 --> 0:24:29.440
<v Speaker 2>is your massage?

0:24:29.440 --> 0:24:33.560
<v Speaker 1>She's been holding her breath now for fifteen minutes. Pretty good.

0:24:34.359 --> 0:24:36.359
<v Speaker 1>She bobbed to the top once and went back down.

0:24:36.520 --> 0:24:37.800
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, that was my trip.

0:24:38.680 --> 0:24:40.680
<v Speaker 1>It looked like an ass trip. Think you got the weather.

0:24:43.760 --> 0:24:49.320

<v Speaker 2>So they've been having trouble with their child, wedding the

0:25:52.320 --> 0:25:54.960
<v Speaker 2>bed at night time, countless nights, getting up and having

0:25:54.960 --> 0:25:57.760
<v Speaker 2>to strip the bed and make it again and move

0:25:57.800 --> 0:26:00.240
<v Speaker 2>their child into their own bed, and as an absolute

0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:02.520
<v Speaker 2>ash at like two or three in the morning, this

0:26:02.520 --> 0:26:05.959
<v Speaker 2>one no. So they decided to change it up and

0:26:05.960 --> 0:26:08.560
<v Speaker 2>they now make the bed three or four times.

0:26:08.880 --> 0:26:11.360
<v Speaker 1>We have had this one. No we haven't, Yes we have, No,

0:26:11.400 --> 0:26:14.360
<v Speaker 1>we have, and you take the sheet off every time.

0:26:14.359 --> 0:26:16.320
<v Speaker 1>They weave themselves and they just get back into bed.

0:26:16.520 --> 0:26:19.960
<v Speaker 2>From Big John. Is Big John sending it again to

0:26:20.040 --> 0:26:20.560
<v Speaker 2>try and win?

0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:23.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I think it won last time? Did it?

0:26:23.960 --> 0:26:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Big John's coming back from another bite of the apple?

0:26:26.520 --> 0:26:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Two hundred dollars wasn't enough.

0:26:28.040 --> 0:26:30.320
<v Speaker 2>I want more, he says. Here, I'll just go on

0:26:30.359 --> 0:26:33.479
<v Speaker 2>and say they go like multiple layers of mattress protector.

0:26:33.520 --> 0:26:36.080

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it came through yesterday from Big John.

0:26:42.640 --> 0:26:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, big John plagiarizing mate. Yeah, he maybe didn't hear

0:26:47.040 --> 0:26:49.280
<v Speaker 1>that we did that one. I don't know. He listens

0:26:49.280 --> 0:26:50.639
<v Speaker 1>weekly unless he's lying.

0:26:51.920 --> 0:26:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Well, this is wow. I'm shooketh But with shooketh

0:26:58.240 --> 0:27:02.560

0:27:02.560 --> 0:27:03.639
<v Speaker 2>all the same out there. We are.

0:27:03.840 --> 0:27:07.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, nice charge John, Well, that's this is awkward.

0:27:07.800 --> 0:27:10.959
<v Speaker 2>Now makes all my hard work they go to absolute waste.

0:27:11.160 --> 0:27:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, let me just okay, So this one's from Emma.

0:27:14.520 --> 0:27:16.119
<v Speaker 1>Look this is a bit long winded this one, but

0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:19.160
<v Speaker 1>essentially she said, guys love the show. Thank you, Emma,

0:27:19.400 --> 0:27:22.480
<v Speaker 1>we love you. She was complaining to her mum that

0:27:22.560 --> 0:27:25.400
<v Speaker 1>her husband was taking her one and three year old

0:27:25.400 --> 0:27:28.560
<v Speaker 1>out at around three pm, knowing the risk of them

0:27:28.600 --> 0:27:31.480
<v Speaker 1>falling asleep at the worst possible time, potentially on the

0:27:31.520 --> 0:27:34.119
<v Speaker 1>way home about five thirty pm. That is a fucking

0:27:34.200 --> 0:27:37.320
<v Speaker 1>nut man unless they transition really nicely, which they never

0:27:37.359 --> 0:27:39.520
<v Speaker 1>fucking never do. I always wake up just as you

0:27:39.520 --> 0:27:42.080
<v Speaker 1>put them in their bed. They're like, I'm awake. You're

0:27:42.080 --> 0:27:45.080
<v Speaker 1>stuck with them on not, she replied to me, very

0:27:45.119 --> 0:27:48.240
<v Speaker 1>matter of factly, I would just spray you if you

0:27:48.280 --> 0:27:49.520
<v Speaker 1>were falling asleep in the car.

0:27:50.359 --> 0:27:52.000
<v Speaker 2>So what, yeah, she said.

0:27:52.560 --> 0:27:54.560
<v Speaker 1>I asked her what she meant, and she repeated, yeah, yeah,

0:27:54.560 --> 0:27:57.760
<v Speaker 1>I just spray you with you know, cold water. And

0:27:57.800 --> 0:28:01.400
<v Speaker 1>she's like, what the fuck. So apparently her mum used

0:28:01.400 --> 0:28:04.240
<v Speaker 1>to keep a spray bottle in the car for hot days,

0:28:04.280 --> 0:28:09.600
<v Speaker 1>but it also doubles as a prevention too. That is

0:28:10.280 --> 0:28:14.320
<v Speaker 1>evil evil. Yeah, that's great, So that's the winner this week.

0:28:14.320 --> 0:28:17.680
<v Speaker 2>I hang on, hang on, I actually it actually no,

0:28:17.760 --> 0:28:19.199
<v Speaker 2>that is the winner because I can't. I don't want

0:28:19.200 --> 0:28:22.359
<v Speaker 2>to win the award. But I have actually some ordinary

0:28:22.359 --> 0:28:24.680
<v Speaker 2>parenting for myself. Oh yeah, I wasn't.

0:28:24.440 --> 0:28:27.360
<v Speaker 1>Going to let me just finish for Emma. Emma, thank

0:28:27.400 --> 0:28:30.119
<v Speaker 1>you for that. We appreciate that. I think you should

0:28:30.119 --> 0:28:33.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe take your mum's advice. Get a nice spray bottle,

0:28:33.560 --> 0:28:35.160
<v Speaker 1>maybe a bit of lemon juice in the spice things

0:28:35.200 --> 0:28:35.560
<v Speaker 1>up a bit.

0:28:39.160 --> 0:28:41.920
<v Speaker 2>I've got a bit of ordinary parenting myself. I wasn't

0:28:41.920 --> 0:28:44.400
<v Speaker 2>going to tell the story, but Laura's just messaged me.

0:28:44.480 --> 0:28:46.120
<v Speaker 2>My phone just went off. You're like, what's that noise?

0:28:46.360 --> 0:28:48.880
<v Speaker 2>Laura just said that she's told the story on their podcast,

0:28:49.680 --> 0:28:52.000
<v Speaker 2>which means is out in the open and we'll talk

0:28:52.000 --> 0:28:55.760
<v Speaker 2>about it. So, yes, I was having a beautiful cuddle

0:28:55.840 --> 0:28:57.880
<v Speaker 2>with Molly and just keep in mind, this is.

0:28:57.880 --> 0:29:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Post until that other dad woked past. No, don't touch it.

0:29:03.160 --> 0:29:05.160
<v Speaker 2>So I was cuddling with her and it was beautiful,

0:29:05.160 --> 0:29:06.760
<v Speaker 2>it was lovely. I was having a moment with my

0:29:06.880 --> 0:29:12.600
<v Speaker 2>daughter and she just goes and she fared as I

0:29:12.680 --> 0:29:15.760
<v Speaker 2>was like cuddling into her face on her like tummy,

0:29:16.520 --> 0:29:18.840
<v Speaker 2>and I was, you know how I feel about farts

0:29:18.840 --> 0:29:20.680
<v Speaker 2>and when you're putting up with the oars all day today,

0:29:21.040 --> 0:29:23.640
<v Speaker 2>I was like, Marley stopped, and she thought it was hilarious,

0:29:24.080 --> 0:29:26.120
<v Speaker 2>and I hate she does it quite a lot. She's

0:29:26.200 --> 0:29:29.160
<v Speaker 2>very gassy, just like a dad. And I was like,

0:29:29.640 --> 0:29:32.240
<v Speaker 2>you cannot fart like that. It's really naughty, and she's

0:29:32.360 --> 0:29:35.840
<v Speaker 2>thinking it's hilarious. So I was like, do you know

0:29:35.880 --> 0:29:40.600
<v Speaker 2>what I'll do to make her appreciate just how unenjoyable

0:29:40.640 --> 0:29:43.520
<v Speaker 2>it is to smell someone else's fart or fart on her.

0:29:44.840 --> 0:29:47.400
<v Speaker 2>So maybe like an hour and a half later, I

0:29:47.440 --> 0:29:50.479
<v Speaker 2>felt one brewing and Marley was sitting down watching TV.

0:29:50.800 --> 0:29:53.280
<v Speaker 2>So I went up to her. I farted on her

0:29:53.720 --> 0:29:55.680
<v Speaker 2>and on her head. No, not on a head.

0:29:55.720 --> 0:29:56.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't do it properly.

0:29:56.560 --> 0:29:58.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to give it. I don't want to

0:29:58.600 --> 0:30:00.840
<v Speaker 2>give a pink guy. I just like on her back.

0:30:00.920 --> 0:30:02.160
<v Speaker 2>She was like laying down watching TV.

0:30:02.360 --> 0:30:04.400
<v Speaker 1>He just walked up to a copter squad and went

0:30:05.560 --> 0:30:06.160
<v Speaker 1>on her back.

0:30:06.280 --> 0:30:09.360
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that's fine. It would have been fine if it

0:30:09.400 --> 0:30:14.960
<v Speaker 2>wasn't for Laura being like, oh my gosh, porch Ball,

0:30:15.320 --> 0:30:18.720
<v Speaker 2>are you okay? She'll live and you know when you

0:30:18.720 --> 0:30:20.320
<v Speaker 2>make a fuss over there, And then Mommy was like,

0:30:20.360 --> 0:30:21.960
<v Speaker 2>that's right, I've been assaulted.

0:30:24.000 --> 0:30:29.000
<v Speaker 1>I've been I think it's fair play. My dad used

0:30:29.000 --> 0:30:30.360
<v Speaker 1>to fart on me all the time, as Jake.

0:30:31.200 --> 0:30:32.120
<v Speaker 2>Look, so you turned out.

0:30:32.160 --> 0:30:35.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm fine, but I'm fine, But it would have been

0:30:35.920 --> 0:30:43.000
<v Speaker 1>worse if you followed through on the speaking of actually,

0:30:43.040 --> 0:30:44.840
<v Speaker 1>let me just wrap up the Budgies smokeing thing before

0:30:44.840 --> 0:30:47.320
<v Speaker 1>we talk about this really quick. So yes, thank you.

0:30:47.360 --> 0:30:50.160

<v Speaker 1>I said it to start off with.

0:31:10.680 --> 0:31:12.720
<v Speaker 2>No, Yeah, when you listen, I don't really when you talk,

0:31:12.760 --> 0:31:13.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't.

0:31:13.440 --> 0:31:16.720

<v Speaker 1>of Marley farting and loving it, Oscar loves it too.

0:31:19.960 --> 0:31:21.840
<v Speaker 1>They're the same age. They're at that age where farting

0:31:21.880 --> 0:31:22.400
<v Speaker 1>is really funny.

0:31:22.440 --> 0:31:23.040
<v Speaker 2>It's hilarious.

0:31:23.080 --> 0:31:26.400

<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you're the right person to ask, okay,

0:33:05.680 --> 0:33:08.040
<v Speaker 2>but I'm going to try my luck anyway. Shoot, Okay,

0:33:08.080 --> 0:33:10.080
<v Speaker 2>I won't say the name because this I don't want

0:33:10.120 --> 0:33:13.920
<v Speaker 2>this person to seem like they're being negative openly. Maybe

0:33:13.960 --> 0:33:16.680
<v Speaker 2>they wanted to be anonymous, but they ask, are there

0:33:16.680 --> 0:33:19.600
<v Speaker 2>any good parts of parenting? At the moment, it's just

0:33:19.920 --> 0:33:24.840
<v Speaker 2>all bloody hard work. Ash, give us some good news.

0:33:25.280 --> 0:33:26.560
<v Speaker 1>I've got some really good news for you.

0:33:27.360 --> 0:33:31.760
<v Speaker 2>What was the question again, talking about how hard parents?

0:33:31.800 --> 0:33:34.640
<v Speaker 1>It's hard? Look, it's hard. You can never be prepared,

0:33:35.760 --> 0:33:38.800
<v Speaker 1>and you think it's like it's all getting good, and

0:33:38.880 --> 0:33:41.880
<v Speaker 1>then a new issue arises. It's just constant. And then

0:33:41.880 --> 0:33:44.200
<v Speaker 1>when you ask people with older kids as well, they're like,

0:33:44.760 --> 0:33:46.760
<v Speaker 1>there's always another warrior just around the corner.

0:33:46.840 --> 0:33:50.360
<v Speaker 2>But also small kids, small problems, big kids, big problems.

0:33:50.440 --> 0:33:53.720
<v Speaker 1>But I'd also say, look, you know, I'm usually it's

0:33:53.720 --> 0:33:56.200
<v Speaker 1>all fun and jokes, okay. I would usually just say

0:33:57.720 --> 0:34:00.360
<v Speaker 1>find the little moments to keep you going.

0:34:01.240 --> 0:34:02.720
<v Speaker 2>What are those little moments for you? Ash?

0:34:02.840 --> 0:34:04.320
<v Speaker 1>When they try and push out a fart and.

0:34:08.719 --> 0:34:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I agree, it's hard.

0:34:10.280 --> 0:34:12.520
<v Speaker 1>It's hard, but then there's those little moments where they

0:34:13.719 --> 0:34:16.960
<v Speaker 1>give something back and you're like, yeah, okay, that's pretty funny.

0:34:17.040 --> 0:34:20.359
<v Speaker 2>One of my mates is about two weeks now away

0:34:20.400 --> 0:34:24.279
<v Speaker 2>from having his first child, and it's so funny. It's

0:34:24.360 --> 0:34:28.680
<v Speaker 2>like witnessing someone walk to the front of the start

0:34:28.760 --> 0:34:32.839
<v Speaker 2>line of a marathon. But on that marathon, you will

0:34:32.880 --> 0:34:36.440
<v Speaker 2>lose your shoes, you will get sunburnt, you will get

0:34:36.480 --> 0:34:40.640
<v Speaker 2>attacked by wild dogs, you'll get shot on, be starving,

0:34:40.880 --> 0:34:43.920
<v Speaker 2>you'll be exhausted. Like it's like the hardest marathon you'll

0:34:43.960 --> 0:34:46.439
<v Speaker 2>ever run in your entire life. That only gets harder

0:34:46.440 --> 0:34:49.360
<v Speaker 2>and harder and harder. And watching him go to the

0:34:49.440 --> 0:34:55.480
<v Speaker 2>start of that line, I'm like, you have no idea

0:34:55.600 --> 0:34:57.160
<v Speaker 2>what you were in for. No one does.

0:34:57.320 --> 0:34:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, you can never be you can never

0:34:59.600 --> 0:35:01.000
<v Speaker 1>be be prepared never.

0:35:01.280 --> 0:35:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:35:01.960 --> 0:35:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Look, yeah, it's hard. Like I said, it's hard to

0:35:04.160 --> 0:35:05.319
<v Speaker 1>find the little moments where you can.

0:35:05.520 --> 0:35:09.360
<v Speaker 2>But the moment for me is at the moment. Lola's

0:35:09.400 --> 0:35:10.359
<v Speaker 2>been a hard one to crack.

0:35:10.400 --> 0:35:10.520
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:35:10.560 --> 0:35:13.480
<v Speaker 2>I've spoken about the fact that we didn't bond straight

0:35:13.520 --> 0:35:15.800
<v Speaker 2>away like I did with Marley, But at the moment

0:35:16.320 --> 0:35:19.560
<v Speaker 2>we have got this little thing where whenever I put

0:35:19.600 --> 0:35:22.080
<v Speaker 2>her down to bed, even if Laura puts her down,

0:35:22.280 --> 0:35:24.880
<v Speaker 2>and Laura's one hundred percent of her preferred parent for Lola,

0:35:25.440 --> 0:35:28.280
<v Speaker 2>she'll say, I just want to kiss and a cuddle always,

0:35:28.400 --> 0:35:30.040
<v Speaker 2>and she won't go to sleep unless I give it

0:35:30.080 --> 0:35:32.080
<v Speaker 2>one as well. She wants it from Laura and from me,

0:35:32.680 --> 0:35:34.799
<v Speaker 2>and we give a kiss cuddle and then now she's

0:35:34.800 --> 0:35:37.279
<v Speaker 2>gonna like kiss and a cuddle and like that is

0:35:37.360 --> 0:35:40.239
<v Speaker 2>my like final farewell before she goes to bed. It's

0:35:40.360 --> 0:35:42.800
<v Speaker 2>just it sounds like it's nothing. I guess if anyone's

0:35:42.800 --> 0:35:44.840
<v Speaker 2>listening without having kids themselves, it might be like.

0:35:44.920 --> 0:35:45.640
<v Speaker 1>You don't understand.

0:35:47.000 --> 0:35:50.600
<v Speaker 2>You would never You've never felt love to those parents

0:35:50.640 --> 0:35:54.799
<v Speaker 2>out there with dogs. You have no idea, But those

0:35:54.840 --> 0:35:56.880
<v Speaker 2>are the little things that you're just like, oh my gosh,

0:35:57.000 --> 0:35:59.680
<v Speaker 2>like just getting that little bit of affection from your kids.

0:36:00.400 --> 0:36:03.240
<v Speaker 2>It's just insane how much of a difference that makes.

0:36:03.120 --> 0:36:04.839
<v Speaker 1>Sort of it makes you forget what they did, all

0:36:04.880 --> 0:36:05.399
<v Speaker 1>the shit things.

0:36:05.440 --> 0:36:08.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh totally. It's like I'm sure there's been Our brains

0:36:08.880 --> 0:36:13.360
<v Speaker 2>are wired to think like that because otherwise, like it's relentless, it's.

0:36:13.400 --> 0:36:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh, it's relentless, hectic. Yeah, I've aged so much in

0:36:17.200 --> 0:36:23.080
<v Speaker 1>the last four years. That's just partly my fault. Th Matt.

0:36:23.480 --> 0:36:26.279
<v Speaker 1>Question for you personally, I haven't had to deal with

0:36:26.320 --> 0:36:28.399
<v Speaker 1>a lot, so maybe you can answer the question how

0:36:28.480 --> 0:36:31.480
<v Speaker 1>do you deal with judging parents?

0:36:31.760 --> 0:36:34.320
<v Speaker 2>So like other parents, I don't have to deal with

0:36:34.400 --> 0:36:37.480
<v Speaker 2>it that much. I think guys are pretty lucky in

0:36:37.560 --> 0:36:39.520
<v Speaker 2>that we just get on with it. The bar is

0:36:39.640 --> 0:36:41.960
<v Speaker 2>so low, like the first generation of dads who are

0:36:41.960 --> 0:36:45.600
<v Speaker 2>actually doing anything. Yeah, So like the fact that we're

0:36:45.640 --> 0:36:48.080
<v Speaker 2>just like in the room means that people are like,

0:36:48.280 --> 0:36:49.240
<v Speaker 2>good job, well.

0:36:49.080 --> 0:36:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Done, Oh my god, that dad's what he's not absent.

0:36:53.480 --> 0:36:56.160
<v Speaker 2>You take the kids to the shopping center for groceries

0:36:56.239 --> 0:36:57.200
<v Speaker 2>and like a boomer.

0:36:56.920 --> 0:36:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Mum is like, oh my god, it's such a good dad.

0:36:59.280 --> 0:37:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Wow, just loan away. But I think the only bit

0:37:02.560 --> 0:37:04.160
<v Speaker 2>of judging that I got the other day was I

0:37:04.239 --> 0:37:07.240
<v Speaker 2>did that video about when your totaler becomes more affectionate

0:37:07.280 --> 0:37:09.080
<v Speaker 2>as they're about to be hit with a virus.

0:37:09.280 --> 0:37:12.640
<v Speaker 1>And Lola's you're going to say, after you hit with

0:37:12.680 --> 0:37:16.160
<v Speaker 1>the car, just a virus, you're about to be fa.

0:37:18.680 --> 0:37:20.680
<v Speaker 2>And Lola's got a dummy because she's doing half loves

0:37:20.719 --> 0:37:23.040
<v Speaker 2>a dummy. Still, it kind of got a little bit viral,

0:37:23.160 --> 0:37:26.400
<v Speaker 2>that video, and it got picked up by an American.

0:37:26.040 --> 0:37:27.360
<v Speaker 1>Audience anti dummy.

0:37:27.840 --> 0:37:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Like, I got viewed five million times.

0:37:30.560 --> 0:37:36.120
<v Speaker 1>And I do you want to just repeat that? I

0:37:36.160 --> 0:37:37.799
<v Speaker 1>remember when I had my first viral video.

0:37:40.120 --> 0:37:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, fair. As soon as I left my mouth, I

0:37:45.080 --> 0:37:48.400
<v Speaker 2>was like, fuck damn. It shouldn't have said that. But

0:37:48.520 --> 0:37:51.160
<v Speaker 2>a few mums were like, you're like doing it, like

0:37:51.680 --> 0:37:54.720
<v Speaker 2>you're doing it wrong on repparable damage to your child's

0:37:54.800 --> 0:37:56.000
<v Speaker 2>mouth structure and teeth.

0:37:56.040 --> 0:37:56.560
<v Speaker 1>And I know that.

0:37:57.080 --> 0:37:59.600
<v Speaker 2>I think it's like past four or five or something

0:37:59.640 --> 0:38:02.760
<v Speaker 2>that stuff to like change the shape of the teeth.

0:38:02.880 --> 0:38:05.480
<v Speaker 2>But I was like, for a moment, I was like,

0:38:05.560 --> 0:38:08.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe I should like stop the dummy and like but

0:38:08.080 --> 0:38:09.840
<v Speaker 2>then I'm like, who the fuck are these people? And

0:38:09.920 --> 0:38:11.960
<v Speaker 2>why do I care what they say? You just got

0:38:12.080 --> 0:38:15.120
<v Speaker 2>to be water, Which is easy for me to say.

0:38:15.120 --> 0:38:16.719
<v Speaker 2>I know that, Like, there's a lot of people out

0:38:16.719 --> 0:38:18.600
<v Speaker 2>there who are full time stay at home parents. It

0:38:18.680 --> 0:38:21.480
<v Speaker 2>must be a lot harder when your worker is being

0:38:21.600 --> 0:38:23.839
<v Speaker 2>judged and your work is the most important in the world.

0:38:23.840 --> 0:38:25.400
<v Speaker 1>It's like working your ass off at a job and

0:38:25.440 --> 0:38:27.960
<v Speaker 1>then someone just coming in and going you're shit at it.

0:38:28.280 --> 0:38:32.960
<v Speaker 2>But my only advice is if you are someone who

0:38:33.040 --> 0:38:37.960
<v Speaker 2>may judge, if the child is happy, it's healthy, Like

0:38:38.080 --> 0:38:42.359
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't matter, ah, Like if you know people can

0:38:42.440 --> 0:38:44.920
<v Speaker 2>do things differently. Some people will do sandwiches with two

0:38:44.920 --> 0:38:47.520
<v Speaker 2>pieces of bread, some will only do one without butter

0:38:47.800 --> 0:38:48.480
<v Speaker 2>with a crust on.

0:38:49.120 --> 0:38:52.400
<v Speaker 1>I feel if the child, I feel you're judging my parents.

0:38:54.120 --> 0:38:56.600
<v Speaker 2>Don't be a judger, for God's sake. And if you

0:38:56.800 --> 0:38:58.520
<v Speaker 2>if you want to say something on social media, like

0:38:58.800 --> 0:39:02.000
<v Speaker 2>just don't unless you know the person, take.

0:39:01.880 --> 0:39:04.080
<v Speaker 1>A deep breath before you throw your two cents in

0:39:04.320 --> 0:39:09.720
<v Speaker 1>fucking Doris or Maureen is like it's just not needed,

0:39:10.160 --> 0:39:12.480
<v Speaker 1>especially like the end of the day. Like sometimes when

0:39:12.680 --> 0:39:15.400
<v Speaker 1>like say you've had a bad day like April for example,

0:39:15.440 --> 0:39:17.120
<v Speaker 1>if she's had the kids all day and I've been

0:39:17.160 --> 0:39:20.000
<v Speaker 1>off doing some work or been here this is work,

0:39:20.080 --> 0:39:22.960
<v Speaker 1>but you know, doing whatever, and then I get home

0:39:23.000 --> 0:39:25.719
<v Speaker 1>and she's fucking cooked, and it's like me walking in

0:39:25.760 --> 0:39:28.759
<v Speaker 1>a saying while the socks dirty, It's like, are you

0:39:28.880 --> 0:39:32.600
<v Speaker 1>fucking serious? Just keep it to your fucking.

0:39:32.480 --> 0:39:35.560
<v Speaker 2>Self absolutely and ash on that note, we need to

0:39:35.600 --> 0:39:38.759
<v Speaker 2>start rehearsing for the awards. Sorry to remind you of

0:39:38.960 --> 0:39:39.839
<v Speaker 2>what's still to come.

0:39:40.160 --> 0:39:41.680
<v Speaker 1>I feel like this is some sort of torture.

0:39:41.960 --> 0:39:44.520
<v Speaker 2>If you enjoy this episode, we would love it if

0:39:44.560 --> 0:39:46.640
<v Speaker 2>you gave it a share to anyone else out there

0:39:46.680 --> 0:39:49.800
<v Speaker 2>who may benefit from having two idiots talk about parenting.

0:39:50.200 --> 0:39:51.719
<v Speaker 2>And we would also love it if you'll give us

0:39:51.719 --> 0:39:54.680
<v Speaker 2>a review on Spotify. We actually had some really lovely
