Better late than never - we have had some technical and physical issues this week. Jordan was at the snow with no coverage, and Clint concussed himself walking into a lamppost on the school run (more on that next week...)
THIS WEEK Clint has a big secret to reveal - a decision him and Lucy have made for the sake of their marriage and family. Will Jordan judge, or accept? And is this the right idea for your family too??

Speaker 1 (00:06):
This is an iHeartRadio New Zealand podcast. Hi everybody, thank
you for your patience and waiting for this episode. It's
been a tough one to get out. We recorded this
on Tuesday this week. Jordan was at the snow and
I was here at home in Auckland, and since then
(00:27):
he wasn't able to upload his audio, and then I
got a concussion, so I haven't been allowed to use
computers or screens for a few days. Anyway, we're finally
getting it out now. It's the same old pod. It
just was recorded on Tuesday and it's dropping now. So
thanks for your patience and enjoy. Hello everybody, Welcome back
to the Parenting Hangover where Look. I don't want to
(00:48):
be too salacious, I don't want to be too teasing
in this, but I have a secret to share on
this week's episode. I've got a secret shame that I
want to be honest with my free Jordan about. I
want to tell you first, but I haven't told anybody
this yet. It's a decision that Lucy and I have
made for our relationship. I want to come out with it.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
It's too really, like we've just finished.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
I didn't mean to tell you the second one. I
didn't mean to tell you any second one. I wasn't
ready to tell you the second one.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
And in my head like, I'm not even joking the
second one. He built up the first one and he
should have. It was a good build. But then you
dropped the second bomb right at the end. So look,
you got to stay around. You've gotta listen to right
in the You can't just think that the first twelve
minutes are the best, because we get into some really
good stuff in their bat twenty eight minutes.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Also, Jordan's gone above and beyond to make this episode happen.
He's not even at home, He's at the bloody snow.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Hopefully this sounds perfect to you. Yeah, But right now
in front of me as a rubbish bin, a toaster,
and a chili bin, and they are all balancing the
devices that I need to make this podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
This is a very awkward set up this week. But
can I just say before you establish the scene and
tell everybody listening to this what you're doing. But I
appreciate the effort that you've gone to like it is.
It has not lost on me how much you have
gone the link Because you've gone through to make the
podcast happen this week.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
If I had focused and thought about it a little
bit more. It really is no skin off my nose.
Podcasts this day and age, it's pretty easy to take
on the road. So I'm currently I'm down the line.
We have pulled trigger on a snow trip that we
were always going to be doing, but a weather bomb
was coming and we were lucky enough that we were
able to quickly go, let's just go today. So on Monday,
(02:32):
Monday afternoon or Monday lunchtime, we were like, we're going
to get the kids early, We're going to go now,
let's just do it. So One, if you listened last week,
I've got David Seymour, politician of New Zealand. He's got
a sniper team out, probably trying to get me because
apparently you can't take your kids out of school. Two,
I thought, yeah, great, Clint, mate, I can still do
the trip of the podcast we did this last year,
(02:54):
exact kind of thing. I was away and so I
packed my little recorder which is tiny, right, it's the
size of a large bloody phone. And I checked my
microphone in but I forgot my phone holder. And then
also so I don't look like a quadruple chin loser
talking to you, right, I've got to get your because
(03:14):
I'm talking to Clinton a laptop right now, so I've
got to get you high enough. So what I've done
is I've put at the batch that we're staying at
the place was staying. I've put the rubbish bin on
the table, and on top of that, as you I'm
talking to you on my laptop. So then the beautiful
phone that films me for our online content. Usually that's
in a fancy flexible phone holder arm. Instead, I have
(03:35):
a chili bin or a cooler or an eski on
the table. I have a not sponsored Russell Hobbs toaster
on top of that, a four slice toaster. Because I
saw I was looking around like what could hold the
phone and the slots of the toaster. I've put my
phone in the toaster and it is sitting there filming
me perfectly. And I'm good. I've had a few wis.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
You say that like you've discovered a new phone. You're like, guys,
the toaster holds the phone perfectly. Why have we been
wasting all this money on tripods all the time, all
this time?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Well, she's thinking that when I plug it back in.
If I put it down just for a split second
and then pop it, that's a cool shot. Man. The
phone comes out, I might electrocute myself my phone met
my phone, but I'm onto something.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Well, look, we appreciate it. You are an okun which
is in the Central Plateau in the North Island to
go skiing. Haven't even done any skiing yet, and I
know that your wife Jody is out of shot, and
you're both pantless at the moment, so it's it's a
big deal.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yes, Clinton may have heard before we hit record. My
wife come down and she said, don't fill me. I've
got no pants on, but she has snuck. We're in
a two it's a it's a little a frame. You
know how all the snow places when you go to
the snow, they're all kind of a frames. It's a
little kind of a frame place, two stories. So everyone's upstairs,
and because I've got headphones on, I can't gauge how
(04:55):
loud I am, so I don't know if they can
hear me word for word, but in my head, the
kids have gone to sleep, and Jody's just going to
have to listen to me babbling because she can't hear you.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
You're gonna hear one hard.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
She's up there. Yeah, she's up there, relaxing. She's in beer,
just chilling, you know, death scrolling. We're just getting away
from I see her. I see it just before we recorded.
I go, just last minute, do you want to be
in this episode?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Can just yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I said, you can grab a wine and you can
just relax and have a laugh, and classic wise, she's like, no,
not really, young.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
You see what it's in the exact same thing.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
That's fine. Well, Lucy has because the multiple times now
I have called her and left messages about her moon
periods and her crystals that she charges, and her sour
kraut and herself, like there's so many layers to the swimmer.
She's like a beautiful onion and I want to get
to the I want to find out more about these stories,
(05:50):
and she just will not answer my call.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
She can't come on the podcast for two reasons, actually,
well three reasons, the first one being she doesn't want to.
Reason number two is tonight is actually a blue supermoon.
I don't know if you've been reading the news, but
tonight is the blue supermoon. It's the largest closest moon
that we will have for a long time. Don't ask
me how long, but we can see it out the window.
So tonight it's a special night for Lucy.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Special or she from what you've told me, she has
the worst, heaviest, most painful period menstruation of the month.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
This is what you've told me, Lucy, if this is
the one episode that you choose to listen to since
the Habish Blake episode, I never said that. I never
said that. All I said is women's periods are linked
to the moon.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
That's all I said, which means you're saying everyone's a
link to the moon. You're saying everyone in New Zealand.
I still don't get it. I call bullshit, and that's
why we need Lucy on to call me up.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Jodi better put some pants on then.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
The funniest thing I'm having at the moment, though, is
I keep just looking to the side because I got
to check that the video that's capturing footage of me,
like you've got one right now, fishing you is working.
And all I see above the toaster, like because seventy
percent of my phone is in the toaster, so all
I see is my eyebrows in my eyes, and I'm thinking,
is that shot going to be okay? And I think
it is, so we'll just carry on. I'm sorry if
(07:07):
the video footage this week on social media isn't that great.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
The third reason that Lucy can't come on the podcast
tonight is because, and this was nearly a major issue,
she didn't because we usually do this in the morning.
She didn't want me to do the podcast tonight because
we are you know when you get into a TV
show together, you know, when you get really deep into
the TV show. And we're up to the last episode
of the show that we've started watching, called Outlander, and.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
I'm so sorry she.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I got through it because we did it a little
bit later. I've watched half the episode and then I've
given her permission to watch the other half without me. Oh,
I will catch up. I will catch up on the
second half of the episode after this.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I'm so sorry. That's one of the worst things you
can do. Jack Black had a famous saying in an interview,
and I've bought it up with my wife that someone said,
what's the key because apparently he's been married a very
long time, very heavy long marriage, and they said what's
the key to the success of your marriage? And he said,
keep watching TV shows and TV series together. Yeah, And
(08:05):
it seems like such a simple thing, but it is
my head. I fully agree. It is so true because
when you finish a series or just you fall off things,
then you lose this connection that you had in the evenings.
You should have your times where you catch up and
have a quick yarn, but there were times where you
sat for a good hour and a half and you
look at each other, your album Whoa, and then afterwards
(08:25):
you talk check black. That's such a good life act.
And I said it, and so we tried. We did
watch something recently together because we our series everywhere had
just stopped. I don't know, and it seems like there's
been a year or six months of nothing that me
and Jodi want to watch together. It's me coming to
sit down in the evenings and rolling my eyes because
my kitchen Rules Australia is on. I come, Oh, I
(08:47):
put on something.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I can recommend Outlander as a show. It's set in
the Scottish Highlands and the seventeen hundreds. It's very raunchy.
It's like it's it's very steamy. There's there's some very
quite good, quite good sixth sense, but then there's some brutal,
horrible shit in it as well. So it's this weird
position of hot Scottish seventeen hundred and six and then
(09:11):
lots of like rape and murder. I'm like, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah,
but it's gripping, it's gripping, and I'll just I'll just
leave it. I'll leave it at that.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
How many seasons is? I feel? It's quite old. I
remember my mum telling me about it maybe seven years ago.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, yeah, okay, twenty fourteen, there's that seven seasons?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
What what platform? Have you watched that one? Listening?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
It's on Lucy's. We're watching the final episode of season
one at the moment, I.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Don't have that one and we can't afford to get
another one. So yeah, wow, I'm gonna have to go
into LimeWire or Nero and try and what is it?
Or Beershare Pirate Bay, pirate pirate Ship.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
How's the kids? I know you're at the snow and
you pulled the out of school. How are they?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yeah, we talked about I mentioned that you were like, WHOA,
that's crazy, Like I was messaging you saying, sorry, bro,
we can't record tomorrow. I'm going to the snow and
we're pulling trigger and you're like, well, must be hectic
getting them out the door. And Jodie mentioned that she
used to work with a guy who had two young
kids and he's like, I couldn't think of anything worse
because we drove once from Auckland to where we are now.
(10:13):
That's five hours just to come to the snow for
two days. And you, guys, I couldn't think of anything
worse and we were fine. And I think the kids
now at a point where they used to coming here
like the snow. I get it. In your first few years,
it's quite a daunting task. The first year you realize
how much stuff you don't have that you thought you
know that you definitely needed. The second year, you think
(10:35):
you've gone and bought everything you need, and there's still
something that was really important that you've forgotten. But at
a point now where we got it all, we know
that they're going to scream and say that their ski
boots don't fit, even though they do fit, because they're
really hard to get into. You know what to do,
and don't we know to save money by packing a
whole lunch box, Like we've got three lunch box packs
to the brim. We're cooking McMuffin splits in the morning
(10:57):
and wrapping them and taking backpacks with food, and you
just you get into a bit of more of confident groove.
So the kids are psyched. We got down here. We
got down here late last night, so it's Tuesday evening
right now. We got down here Monday night hoping to
GetUp the mountain today and a blizzard blue close.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Yeah, So this is the thing with snow life. I
don't know if it's every other country, but probably you
wake up very early and you check the six thirty
am report and that'll tell you pull trigger quickly, start
loading up, go or the mountains closed. So I was
pretty gutted, but apparently tomorrow, so Wednesday and Thursday are
going to be insane. So at Tudors, at the Tudor
(11:36):
what do you call it, ski Skifield Mountain Parkfield Skifield.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I you were talking about how much stuff you need,
and I don't doubt it, and the stuff you don't
know that you need until you're there, now that you
are seasoned ski family, do you have a list to
make sure that you don't forget anything, like do you
have a spreadsheet of stuff that you've taken in the past,
or do you just do top the top of the head.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Yeah, it's kind of top of the head. It's the
top of the head. It's I'm not gonna I'm not
going to put my hand up and say I'm the legend.
It's definitely an amazing wife. Yeah, who was like two days,
like a week out pulling snow gear out. I'm always
more as the unspoken thing where I'm the hardware guy.
So I've been we talked about it. I've been on marketplace.
She's been no part of that. So I've been digging
(12:20):
out and measuring them, figuring out what size skis they need,
what sized boots they need, and then it's my job
to figure out how we getting those skis to the mountains.
So I bought ski ski rack things off marketplace, put
them on bro with no skis in them. Just been
down to the deary because I needed something. And all
you can hear is like a jug whistle, like like
(12:43):
screaming whistle, and I'm thinking, oh, that'll be once I
put the skis and stuff and it won't be doing that,
go and put everything in and the whistle's even worse.
So we ended up just squeezing all the ski gear
into the boot with everyone and take removing the fancy
ski holders that I've got. So if anyone's going tony tips,
please message through. If you live in America, a candidate,
you're going to be used to snow a lot more
(13:03):
than we are, So let me.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Know how much did you pay for the fancy ski
I got.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
The second hand like the pro rec brand news roof
res like for twenty or something. I got them for
one hundred and twenty bucks off marketplace, and then the
ski holder claimp things were like new, they're like two
hundred bucks and I got them for one hundred bucks.
I think. Yeah, so I've just been trying to do
at least half price a lower on the most secondhand things.
(13:28):
Yeah nice, but yeah, I don't know now if i'll
sell them again or the people are saying there tricks
like you wrap some rope around them and it'll stop whistling.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
I feel like you shouldn't have to do that, but yeah,
I know, I know, yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah, like the number one thing right, Okay, guys, we've
built some ski recks. First, let's chuck them on the
roof and test them. Holy shit, Barry, that's a terrible screen. Yeah,
don't worry, just sell them, lox them up and sell them.
They'll deal with it, nah, because Jody's gone. Jody's gone.
Just put the radio and it'll be fine. It wasn't.
We went for a drive to get a test drive
down to school to pick up the kids, and she's
(14:04):
it's fine, it's fine, it's not.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
I know what it sounded like outside the car.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I know, like we've got a sunroof, and I opened
the sunroof and my ears I almost explode On'm like
quickly shut.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Maybe you weren't going fast enough. Maybe once you had
one hundred k that all go away.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
No, we got up to we got up to a
sneaky seventy five k's and a sixty zone just on
a quiet road. Yeah, pretty illegal, just to test it
real quick, just punch the punch the accelerator and it
was bad. So yeah, but we're here now, kids are fizzed.
We're going to have two great days on the mountain.
Fingers crossed. They get very tired really quickly, and you
have to try and push them through. You don't want
(14:40):
to do all this traveling down here for them to
call it quits at like eleven am and want to
come home. You have, you have your pack lunch, you
let them recharge, You promise them a lollipop that you've
got packed, and then you do a few afternoon runs
and then try and come home around two o'clock. Two
o'clock's the plant. That's the time to get off that. Yeah,
that's the oh bro. Our first few years it was
really short, Like you'd get here at like eight o'clock
because you needed a park. It opened at nine that
(15:02):
you could access it, and by eleven am eleven thirty
you were coming back home and that was good. That
was a good time.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
And now that they're older and you've put more money
into ski lessons and skis, you want to stay longer
and make the most of it. So that's what we're
trying to do.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Ohll I've got everything cross for you that you get
up the mountain tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yeah, no to touch I'll say touchwood. But apparently it's
like going to be the best day of the season.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Sad love it good? Okay, that's great.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
How are your kids, men, they're good.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I just finished two weeks off work, two weeks of
annual leave, which I had to take because I had
too much annual leave owing and with my job, which
is the radio, i work until seven o'clock, so I'm
never home for dinner. I'm home on the weekends for dinner,
but during the week I'm not here. And there's just
something that I really liked about. Well, I really liked
(15:45):
it the last couple of weeks, just being around for
all the normal evening stuff, you know. And so I've
gone by the time I had all the time off,
I went sixteen dinners in a row, which I've never
done with my kids before. And you get stories, and
you get some fun dinners, some okay dinners. But then
(16:06):
I had to on Sunday go, oh, this is my
last dinner for a bit, girls, because I got to
go back to work. And you could see that they
were visibly like ah, And I felt s think about it,
and I talked to who did I talk to about it?
I talked to my mom about it and the feeling
of it, and she goes, yeah, well, your dad was
never around for dinner either, because my dad worked night shift.
At a gas station and there's just something I don't
(16:28):
know if you can be there. And what it's done
for me is it's made me go. It's made me
really value the dinners that we have on the weekends,
like where I could go to the pub to watch
the rugby with some mates. But now I'm going, yeah,
every time I do do that at the moment, especially
while they're young, that's just one more dinner at the
end of the day that I'm not going to be therefore,
and not to put too much sort of sentiment on it,
(16:50):
but yeah, I don't know. And I train get them
talking and I do this thing with them at the
dinner table, which I think they kind of hate, but
I think it's good. And I say to them, what
was your favorite part of the day to day? And
we each go around the table and they have to
say what their favorite part of the day is. And
I can tell by the end of doing with me
for two weeks in a row that they were really
freaking sick of it because Tuy's one became everything was
(17:13):
my favorite part of the day. I was like, no, no, no, no,
this is not why we do this. I want to
hear some details about your day. So I would like you,
I'll give you some time, but I'd like you to
actually find a thing that you liked the most about
your day. But it's done now.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
We do it every day. Yeah, we do that every
every dinner, we do the Yeah, we do the favorite
fairite part of the day, hand on heart. Every day
fairite part of the day has to go around mom, dad, yeah, kid.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Same.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Sometimes Nala will be the big grown up six year
old who will start it. Yes, Like will be halfway
through a meal when she realized it has to happen
and she's like, may lap, what's your favorite part of that?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
That's so good And then you have to think. And
some days I think it was the first time, Jody,
it was just so we're here. Yeah, so last night's
dinner we did what's your favorite part of the day.
And so we've woken. I've rammed, like I've been scrambling
to get on top of work because I know I
was coming to the snow already, and then we realize
we're going to the snow. So then I'm freaking out
(18:08):
even more trying to get things like get people in
places on what need to be doing, done, get the
snow gear, all this. Then we drive here three and
a half hours of you know, not how but not
a great time, like a lot of kids singing constantly,
and you're just asking them just to remember inside voice, guys, Like,
we're in a confined space. I've said this message a
thousand times, and the car doesn't have a special thing
(18:30):
where we can't hear.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
We can hear, like.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
It's like your voice is an angle to our ears.
So we had that, and then it came to dinner,
like unpacking, we got here real late. Then it came
to dinner and the kids are like, what was your
favorite part of the day, mum, and like for the
first time, Jody's like, hmmm, oh it's hard. And then
they to me and I'm like, look at Jada, but
I think I'm the same. I can't think of anything amazing.
(18:56):
And luckily they iced over it. It's like they knew
you've had a pretty shit one. We'll we'll just we'll
jump in here. And it was like McDonald's. We had
McDonald's on the way down. Donald I forgot about the McDonald's.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I think we will over time teach them that it's
okay to to, you know, say, if you've had a
ship day, like it's okay to have a ship day,
but it would you should still try and find one
thing that you enjoyed about your day, even if.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
It was just joy or the grateful thing enjoyed or
what are you grateful for if you can't think of
something there was a highlight, Yeah, you want to teach
them to be like, hmmm, nothing great, but it's so
good that we've got there's an amazing dinner that my mate,
but I'm really looking.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Forward to this thing tomorrow or something like that.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I saw, and I don't know if it was a
radio bit or but I saw your radio station social
media team share a list of things you mentioned you
had two weeks off, and one of them was like
you're gonna get ripped and lose seven kg in two
weeks or something.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
No, that's Chinese. No. I said for my holiday, a
list of things I would like to do, and one
of them was to lose four kilos. Okay, okay, because
I'm just going to go well, I haven't sit on
the scales so and I haven't been drawn, and I've
been doing some exercise, but you know, I don't know
I just wanted to do a bit of a health reset,
(20:16):
is what I wanted to do.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Yeah, and you've been charging the weight you've been charging
the weight loss crystals.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yeah, charging the way I've been eating a lot of
the sour krowd. Or I had to throw the sour
crowd out, the funny sour croud. I had to throw
it out. It failed.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
What do you mean? You let her did not loosey
not throw it.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
And when she said it's failed, it needs to go
on the bin, I said to her, oh, thank goodness,
because it stinks and I never wanted to eat it.
And she goes, oh, you're gonna hate this bit. You
have to put it in the bin. I had to
take it downstairs and get rid of the sour kraut,
which is just one of those, you know, duties that
you do as the husband. You do the yuck stuff.
And so I did it. It meant four you.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Throw that twenty twenty four. You throw that back in
her face. You say, see the store here, I see
your hands are full of the sour crowd that wants
to leak its juices on the carpet. But see their
doors closed. I'm not going to open it.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
For you.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
You it's twenty twenty four. You open that door, you
take that so outside to the nighttime with the scary
possums are and you put in the bin.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
You made your sour kraut.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Now sleeping it, exactly rolling it. We had our sauer
kraut equivalent. A couple of years ago were oyster mushrooms.
Have you ever heard of them?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Yeah, you're growing.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
They're weird, like, well, we got give it or giving
it or Jody brought one from a weird market but
brings home this plastic bag that looks like nothing, and
a week later it's like growing fungi looking mushrooms, and
Jody's cutting them and like cooking, mixing them.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
And everything, like eat these guys. And I just couldn't
get the thought of fungus out of my head. And
I'm the kind of guy that eats anything. And she
to the staceys, I'd love to get some more oyst
and I'm no, I don't think we should. Yeah, remember
they were terrible, Yeah, but I was just I was
creeped out by them. They didn't smell bad, they were
just freaky. I grew up with mushrooms going in a
paddock not mushrooms going out of a plastic bag.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
You like the magic ones. I'm hoping that with the
sauer Kraut failure that sauer Kraut's off the menu for
a bit until she wants to give it another Fingers crossed.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Hopefully she's a sour crowd about her sour crowd.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
I've got a confession to make on the podcast today,
and I haven't told anybody this yet, but I thought
I would tell you, but I don't. You have to
promise not to judge me for this thing that I'm
going to tell you.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Do I get guesses?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Yeah, you can have a guess.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah, I feel like we should have a guess. Can
you give it any other clue? Okay? Okay. So it's
something that you know that I'll find kind of slightly
funny and I would judge it, but I have to
hold that back because you asked, don't judge me what.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
I don't know if it's funny. I don't think's.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I don't know if it's fun Okay, oh shit, it
might not be funny.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
It's not super serious either.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
It's just you've got a lower back tattoo.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
It's a decision that me and my wife have made
for the good of our relationship, and it's a lifestyle
decision that we've decided to make.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Okay, did you hear my first GISs.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Lower back tattoo?
Speaker 3 (22:53):
No?
Speaker 2 (22:56):
So where's the laugh?
Speaker 5 (22:57):
That was?
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Gold? Okay, you're going to marriage counseling before you have issues?
That's an apparently.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
About that. Yeah, yeah, where you pay a therapist to
find something that's wrong with your relationship that you didn't
know about. No, it's not that you.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Are experimenting with butt plug crystals.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Oh man, if I was going to a butt plug,
I don't think i'd start with a crystal. I think
I with a nice soft rubber.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
I apologize that that's with the three wines that I've
had while on holiday kicking.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
No, what's happened the decision that we've made as a
couple for the benefit of reverse, No, not reverse forasi
to me, we have decided, and I know, look, we're
in the same financial position as everybody else at the moment,
but we've decided that this is an important thing and
a positive thing that we can do for for for
our own well being. We've decided to get a cleaner.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
I thought it was the biggest thing. That was such
a good, long winded prank. I thought that I've been
getting uncomfortable in my stomach because I'm not good at
hiding my real initial emotions. So if you said something
that I would not be agreeing with, I wasn't ready
to hide it.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
No, you're going to judge me, like I said, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
I would have judged it. I would have sait out loud.
I would have been like, you little weirdo.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Yeah, if it was pigging, you were not going to
be able to not judge me. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
I like. We don't talk about it much because it
affected us. But we also had a cleaner about a
year ago, but we got rid of them.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Okay, this is so good. This is so good. We
have had one clean from our cleaner. Our cleaner came.
She's a local who I actually I found her because
I drove past her on our street and I saw
her unloading and cleaning gear. And I stopped and I
was like, hey, you a cleaner. She's like, yeah, no
ship bro, what gave it away? And I was like, ah,
we're thinking about getting a cleaner. Would you do our house?
(24:50):
She's like yeah, and she came over and I said, oh,
we've we've got it. She told me how much she cost,
and I'll be open about it. She's forty dollars an
hour our cleaner, and I said, we've kind of got
budget for probably two hours a fortnight of cleaning. Do
you think there would be anough to get our house
for our house? Like, come and see our house and
then you tell us if you think that that's enough,
(25:11):
if you could actually do it or not. And then
she came through and she's like, look, it's going to
take me a few more hours than that to get
the house up to scratch, which was a real like, oh,
I've been letting the standard slip as far as cleaning
the blinds and cleaning some of the moldy bits and
the tiles in the shower. But she goes, Yep, after
that two hours a fortnight, I reckon, we could have
this place. We're gonna have this place looking pretty good.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
I don't judge at all. They're amazing. If you can, yes,
it's an extra cost, yes, but if you can make
it work, or let's say, even if you are able
to sacrifice something that you know is a bit of
a splurge. But when people tell you like, no, it isn't.
Would you shut the gup? But oh sorry? What that
extra little clear I get every day that I know
I don't need that is four dollars twenty but I
(25:54):
like to get in the afternoon because it PEPs me up.
Give it to the your clear. Do you do four
dollars twenty times seven? That's twenty eight to it. We're
up to thirty bucks. Time's a bloody month. There you go.
You're getting your money for your.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Clean exactly right. For us, it was. It's like a
prioritization thing, and times are very tight for everybody at
the moment, including us. But we will find it in
the budget somewhere because it's something that we see value in.
We're both really busy people. Everybody's really busy, but like
the time that we do have spare, we'd rather spend
(26:25):
it with each other and with the kids or actually
relaxing rather than just limping to the weekend and then
having this mountain of cleaning in front of you. So
I don't know, man, we've only had it once, but
I feel like it already feels like a really good
decision if you're in the position to be able to
do it. It feels like and why did you stop having
(26:46):
your cleaner?
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Well, before we get to that, we'll get to that.
But most I agree, because most parents, most modern age parents, yeah,
a lot are working, both working, or a lot have
a shitload on. And you get what you call your
surface clean down every day, which means clean the kitchen,
top load, the dish washing, more of a tidy. You
might get a chance to run around with a vacuum,
what you know, if stuff's being dropped, but doing the
(27:10):
doing the dusting, or wiping the top of a skirting.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Board or washing windows blind.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
And when it comes to like I remember my mum religiously,
we knew that Saturday or Sunday mornings or Saturday afternoons
was like cleaning day. All the dining room chairs were
up on the table and I was like, I don't
come in, Mum's doing a deep clean. But it was
also a day that you knew you were stuck at
home because mums cleaning the entire house like deep clean.
(27:38):
They take cleaners take a massive load off. We had
a cleaner also one of the before I get to
why we got rid of ours? How are you? I'm
a real weirdo with letting people in. I don't like
people coming into my hotel room when we stay at
a hotel, so I always put the do not disturbed
in And so when we were getting a cleaner, that
was a big thing for me. I was like, I'm
so uncomfortable with something a stranger coming into my home.
(28:01):
And it's this whole thing I have from of lights
that show target I trust.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Oh yeah, okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
I think as soon as you say to a builder, yeah, mate,
that's the job, I'm going to pop off now. I
don't care who you are. I think every builder has
a little wander around your house. Look, if you're not
doing anything, you just a weird no, no, no, they're not
doing anything. But they're just like, oh yeah, that's the bedrooms. Anyway,
go do the dick now. Or at some point of
the day they're going somewhere where and.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
You'll hear it shouldn't have been happening. Yeah, And builders.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Will be in plumbers and everything. We'll be listening. Now,
we don't do that, but on your lunch break you Oh.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
But they's definitely a vibe thing, and I think that's
why it's part of the reason why we got them
over first, so they could check out the house and
we could get a vibe for them. And they always
go and they got it too. They were like, this
is what it would cost, this is how much time
we'd need. We'll go away and let you guys have
a chat about it, no pressure. You let us know
if you would like to, so that you can then
go to your partner and go, oh, I've got a
bit of a weird vibe from them. And then you
(28:51):
could not engage them. But we did it with these people.
They seem wonderful.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
But I don't want to ski you. But there was
a TV show called Target Right and Will Know It
in New Zealand, and their whole purpose of the show
was they set up hitting cameras and they would get
trade's or cleaners or whatever into a property to do
with the exact same job, and they would rate them
on how good a job they did. But the disturbing
things they were trying to get disturbing things, the disturbing
things they would find as I'm not I when people say,
(29:17):
like even Jody would say, why are you so uncomfortable?
Like the thought of a plumber working on our house
for the day without us there whenever we need a
trade e. I make sure I'm home and I make
sure that they know I'm home throughout the day, like
in case they've forgotten, Like on purpose, I'll come upstairs
really noisy because I don't like the thought of someone
in my house.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
But I don't know because it's because you know, you
think they're gonna sniff your undies?
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Why? No? No, I think something. I've got so much shit.
I think stuff's going to be swiped. I think something's
going to be stolen.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
I just Target Target bro scarred me that show. I
would have watched that show when I was like yeah
fourteen fifteen, sixteen seventeen, and Google are watching it. Religious.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Google reviews are the new target though, so like looking
at a trade's Google reviews before you hire them, like anything,
Dodgy is going to stand out like a sore thumb
because if you have a bad experience with the trading,
you're absolutely going to go and write it on their
Google of you know you're you're right, and then you've
got trust issues. But I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
I do, and I will put it down to target
Target burnt me. I seriously even.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Get broke out Smith on the podcast text.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
We've had no trading, no plumber, and we've had a
lot done on our house. No one has worked on
our house and we have left the property. Wow, like
everyone we plan to have at our house, either me
or Jody.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Or you supervised them. How intimidating for the trades. People
just have.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
This guy watching I'm down in my I'm down in
my office working. He's present or it's some kind of
buildery mate where I'm actually on tools helping. But there's
been people come and do things. Well, yeah, I'm just
in my office, but now and then I'm just bam,
there I am. And it's the kind of people trading
hate exactly, the ones that are popping over showing me
how's it ship? Do you use there? I thought I
(30:54):
thought you'd use silicon? Are you gonna are you gonna
wipe that? But are you gonna wipe that? Better? So
so I'm that person.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Back to your cleaner, Why did you stop having a cleaner?
Was it just a financial decision or no?
Speaker 2 (31:06):
So one there was a time I had to come
home at a lunch break and she was caught upside
down in our six.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Wing and I was like, did you get it on
the camera.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
As she was hanging upside down looking at me saying,
please help me out. I see, we've got to get
rid of you this cross the light. No, we only
got rid of our cleaner because we were in the
same thing of you. Like life was just busy, and
they just took that little They made life that much
easier just getting cleaner. Who come in. We were the
same as you once a fortnite for that deep clean
knocks and crannies you don't have time for. And that
(31:39):
was when Jody was working on She had a full
time job on Grand Designs, the TV show, and then
that show fizzled out and she had more time at home,
and then we were both kind of at a point
where we forgot the cleaner. Jody would be cleaning and
then realized, oh, the clean is here today. No, it
was like a double cleaning on, you know, and then
to kind of like, I don't think we need the
cleaner anymore. I've got time. Yeah, right to be to
(32:02):
be the captain of the ship again. I put on
the captain hat and this.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
But you wouldn't be. It was a good experience for
you because I've only had it once I'm asking genuine questions.
It was a good enough experience for you that if
and when Jodie becomes busy again, you would look to
take it up again. Yeah, yeaheah, yeah, yep, yeah, good, Okay,
I haven't and I haven't told.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
It was so weird though, that I had to stand
right behind them as they vacuumed back and forth, back
and forth, and then wh they sprayed the windows. I
was just there, just watching on the other side, hard
because the whole time I was thinking I should just
be doing the cleaning because I'm following her so meticulous.
That's the cleaner. Our cleaner cleaned without any of us there.
So there was a big stick.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
That's the one that's the one person you trusted. You know,
you're the only person that I've told about the cleaner
because I have this thing inside me because of the
way that I was raised and I had a very
similar upbringing to you. We come from similar financial backgrounds,
the same kind of thing. Like, I just feel like
people are going to go, oh, oh, fancy guy, I
(33:03):
got a cleaner, right, got a cleaner off Nancy pants,
mister Bloody's celebrity, got a cleaner, guy? I see how
it is must be nice. God, I hate must be
nice so much the saying must be nice. But that's
what I'm worried about getting.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
I hear exactly what you mean, and no, but I know,
nah shit, I disagree. I had a brother in law who,
like day dot, their kid got to like the age
of one, and they're like, we're getting to live in opia. Yeah,
and they were. They were. They were farmers in the
middle of the White Cuttle region. You know, you think farmers,
farmers are struggling paycheck to paycheck, We've got to live
(33:39):
in opia and we also have a cleaner. And I'm
just like, wow, okay, And I I'm not judging you then,
because I hear farmers are struggling every day. Yeah, and
I know other farmer friends with cleaners that come in,
so I hear. I hear the concern. But at the
same time, I don't think I wouldn't worry about it
too much.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Mate, Oh, it's probably it's not going to stop us.
But as far as telling people about it, like I
just but I mean, how often do you tell people
that you're like, hey, I'm clear, did you know I've
got a cleaner, Like conversation.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
What are the other things you get where you know
you're scared to say that you've got it because of that.
Oh are you some rich guy? Are you?
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Like us or even us coming to the snow, always
defending that going right now, yeah, right now, we're at
a we're at a friend's.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Batch, and they don't know that you've been hustling for
three months to buy second hand on Facebook market racks
and things like that. They don't. They just you're right,
that's the same thing they just hear. But oh, snow,
oh it must be nice.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Yeah, you are one hundred percent the same background as me.
Where you and I no matter. Let's say we both
become ten millionaires tomorrow. We're never going to be show
poties about it because our upbringing makes us so uncomfortable
about anything that you think, shit, actually, I forgot Dad
didn't do this. Yeah, look here I am. I remember
(34:57):
doing my back lawn and it was all by seed, right,
and everyone loved those videos for so long, and then
all of a sudden I got over it. And next
year I bought myself some sod, some ready lawn, some
roll out turf, and I remember thinking it as I
was posting that, oh look at you, miss fancy Pants'
benched a bit of coin on this.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Haven't you've changed? That's the worst one, bro, You've changed.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
You've changed. But I think you and me are very
very similar, and it's very good. I say, it's very
good that you're self aware of it.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Mate. Yeah, you're right. I'll just leave it at this.
You're right. It's the comparison to what your parents and
how your parents operated, which is sometimes good for keeping
you grounded, but also shouldn't prevent you from doing anything
that you think is right for you. Because I go,
my parents managed to clean the house perfectly, fine, why
can't I do it? It's like, yeah, but I bet,
if I bet, if they had the opportunity to have
a cleaner, they would have. They would have absolutely loved it.
(35:47):
Oh this is the last. But my freaking mum was
a cleaner.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
So my mom was a cleaner. Yeah, actually my mom
was a cleaner.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm remembering that correct. I think
when we were really little she took some hours cleaning
some people's houses.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
I'm pretty sure I remember my mom. My mum cleaned
the squash club and I yes, sitting at the squash
club as she went around cleaning that. A few neighbors
down the road, just odd cleaning.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Jobs listens to the podcast. So Mum, if I have
got that wrong, text me, but I feel like I
remember you doing some cleaning.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Yeah, it was. I aware that your mum listens to it.
When I'm talking about crystal anal plugs.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
She's very open minded. My mother. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
She's not that open.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Okay, Cary, that's a quick break, because we've got some
ripping feedback this week came.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Feedback here. It is the parroting hammer.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
I was waiting for that. Remember our death episode, which
I was really proud of us for doing. By the way,
I think it was a good, meaty topic. I think
it was good. You know, we think we don't we
don't go serious a lot death. There's nothing funny about death.
And I think we handled it with maturity and I
think it was good.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
I think there was a shift. I felt the shift
out there. There was a cultural shift able to talk
about it.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
You reckon, We affected the culture with that podcast.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
I just found I felt it that kids kids the
next day.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Because yeah, because we got that message about our death
episode from Iris.
Speaker 6 (37:17):
Hi, guys, trying the voice message now because you insist
I just listened to your death episodes, which sounds terrible
saying that out loud. Anyway, just a small idea that
we had or I had. We already talked to our
daughter about this because she already had questions with three
and a half years old, who is my grandma, who's
my grandpa? Well some of those aren't there anymore, so
we explained when people are cremated, they become part of
(37:39):
the stars again, so not really heaven't because we're not religious,
but you know, like the science explanation that's also a
bit cool. Or if they're buried, that they're under the ground,
because she really wanted to know where they were physically.
It definitely also gave her some scares a few days
later where she imagined everything them not being there, us
not being there, so we had to console her, and
(37:59):
having this narrative helped win. My aunt passed recently. It
was very easy to explain and no more.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
Scarce, so it's such a good message. She touched on
the bit that we talked about, which was my biggest
fear of giving them the information was them then being
afraid of the idea of us not being there because
they're so smart and so intuitive and they always go
that next step with it. She didn't really explain how
she soothed that fear of the kids being afraid that
you won't be there, But I guess they just need
(38:27):
time to come to grips with it.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
One thing I didn't pick up when we did talk
about that episode, and I've pushed it a few times.
My agenda on this podcast trying to ram home to
all parents out there that all your kids are born
very much who they are and help them throughout right.
And like you just mentioned, my three kids are so
different with all this. So my wife's dad very much
wore his heart on his sleeve. Could you could start
(38:49):
telling a story about when his daughter was born, or
his I don't know, his first marriage, or something slightly
emotional on TV tear up and like, yeah, okay, guy,
fine to show fine to show his emotion. Yeah, fine,
to get a bit of a cry on He's handed
that down to all three of us daughters have it like,
can get very emotional, Jody, what my wife watching my
(39:11):
kitchen rules? If it's one of the sad story moments,
where the dad has helped her and thrown down a
tea towel and she's in the you'll look up like
I know moments of TV where I can look over
to Jody and she'll look at me and go, don't
look at me. And she's got it. She's passed it
down to one of our kids, but not but not
the other two. And so the other one we've had
this where someone passing the family and she was going
(39:34):
to bed and really thinking about it, and it was
affecting her because she was thinking about us. So all
these like kid what ifs and we're not close to
our death beds whatsoever, but in her head. And so
you've got to go in and just say, look, no,
we're fine. Granddad was very old or grandma was very old.
Mom and dad are fine. We're the other two. I'm
not emotionally connected. I'm not thinking about that. I'm going
to sleep thinking about unicorns. And yet your kids are
(39:57):
going to be different. You're going to give them the talk.
If you've got more than one kid, you're going to
give them the talk. And you've got to remember that
all of them are going to take different parts of
that and process it differently.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
And I guess there's no need to prepare your children
for a sudden accidental death of their parents, because the
odds are it won't happen. And if it does happen
to you, that's okay. It won't be your problem, but
it'll be the other parents problem.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
Such a you're like, I love that we talked about
this problematic issue a few weeks ago. Death and now
let's look about this one. You've carcked it, but who cares.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
She'll be much better at dealing with it than me.
Should be much better. Let's go to this message about
stick a chart from A Vaughn. You remember how I
told you that we're running a stick a chart to
try and keep Maggie in bed, And it's a thirty
days stick a chart where at the end of it
she's going to get a toy that she's going to
choose from farmers. She gets a sticker every night that
she sleeps all night. Might not be the best approach,
according to A Vaughne.
Speaker 5 (40:50):
So just listening to your latest podcast about talking to
kids about death, haven't got to the death part yet.
Just paused it because I wanted to send Clint a
message and just say the stick a chart is a
brilliant idea. But a month a month is far too
long for that tiny human to for their reward. It
needs to be regularly, like either daily, like there's a
(41:12):
small reward daily, or there's a reward at the end
of the week. A month is far too long for
that tiny human to wait for a reward. And you
think thirty days for two year old. I don't even
know what the mass is, but that's like a massive
chunk of their life and it's far too long, and
she'll forget and she'll get bored. That's why she she
will fill up the stickerture, bring it down straight faced. Dad,
(41:35):
Look I did it so yeah, so just just take
a look at that and look at revising how the
reward time is.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Thank you, Von. I feel like I've been told off.
And I know you. I know you've seen it with love.
I know you do, but and I was like, oh,
what have I done to my poor daughter?
Speaker 2 (41:53):
You fully just got told off in the nicest way.
I find it very funny. You've just been put on
by apparent, by a parent who's just like like, surely
you know this, Like come on, come on, mate, the
go on the top of the dishwasher and the plates
go on the bottom. But she's she's completely right right
as we get off. Is this why as we get older,
(42:13):
every adult out there can agree with me that every
single year we go No, it's not August already, this
year is the fastest ever. Her science there makes sense
that when you're a kid, a year, a month or
day seems so long. But the older you get, because
does this happen for like, does my grandma who's in
seventy eight or whatever, does she think that the years
(42:34):
are still getting or do they get? Is there a
point with it?
Speaker 1 (42:36):
I reckon they go I've heard they go even faster
when you're old, they go faster. Yeah, I reckon, That's
what I've heard. That's what I've heard. I hear you
have on And can I just say that the Sicker
chat was Lucy's idea. So I'll play her your message
and I'll telegraph the telling off to Lucy because the
sickerd chart was her idea.
Speaker 2 (42:56):
How convenient that it's Lucy's idea? Who doesn't listen to
the podcast once every six months?
Speaker 1 (43:01):
Last but feedback this weekend is from Nathan Hey.
Speaker 3 (43:05):
Boys, love your work listening from Melbourne, Australia. Just listen
to the Olympics chat after what sort of your family
does with the Olympics. Well, I found that my wife
is a massive perve basically watches the Olympics and is
(43:30):
full on checking all the packages out and rating athletes
not by their athletic ability but by their anatomy ability.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
So yeah, it's good.
Speaker 3 (43:44):
To know that my wife's the giant perv. In fairness.
She will also comment on the female sexes as well,
because she's an equal opportunities kind of girl. Although I'm
saying that her biggest issue with the female athletes is
how very few of them have a cameltoe. It's quite baffling,
she says, not being a female, I have no anyway,
(44:07):
keep the good work.
Speaker 1 (44:08):
Up, boys, very honest checked his wife under the bus.
But you know it's very honest message from Nathan, and
we appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
Well, we look, we're not going to lie that we
don't know that there's athletes with giant junk. There's the
guy who famously lost out on the Paul. Did you
see that because his pole He hadn't tucked his pole
the right way and it just fell into it. Potentially
he had something stuff down there, because really, come on, guys. Yeah,
(44:36):
but look he's laying as well. He sees it. We're dudes,
we see it. You might not comment on it. Rural
guys would be scared to even mention it or acknowledge
that we're talking about right now because it'd be like,
am I gay? Because I just looked out at the Olympics.
So they played eight guys in the one hundred meters
sprint and you wouldn't believe it. Then they did this
(44:57):
replay front on all of them running towards me. Oh,
it's all I could see. It's all I could see
was eight snakes just flopping back and forth. I They're
going to bloody pounce and bite me. I'm not gay, though,
but they filmed it very impressive. Look, we're dudes, I saw.
I'd agreed like his wife. I saw some massive junks,
like some junks where I was like, you shouldn't be
doing this sport mate. It was some guy who ran
(45:19):
a marathon and it looked like he had smuggled something
down his trousers and I just thought, that has been
rubbing this whole marathon.
Speaker 1 (45:26):
Trithlon run it arguably makes it more impressive because he's
had to contend with that between his legs for the
entire marathon.
Speaker 2 (45:33):
You know, yeah, I mean I know all about it
because of my goot chundies with the hole at the
good very large. So like like now as I've got
no undies on right now, it's it's on the carpet.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
Look, we appreciate the honesty. If you for some feedback
for next week, I'd love to know he.
Speaker 2 (45:51):
Needed you to back me up and say that You've
also noticed other dudes large junk at the Olympics and
you did it, So now I'm the weirdo.
Speaker 1 (45:57):
It's just you man, and you talked about it for
so long too, like I feel like you were really
into it. I let you go, but you know I
got to bring it back at some stage the Penis Olympics.
Can I ask for some feedback this week from people
who either have a have a cleaner or something like that.
You've chosen to apportion some of your household budget to
(46:18):
something that makes your life easier. What is that thing?
And maybe you never thought you would spend money on this,
like you said, like an o pair, like like a
regular babysitter, like a cleaner. How much do you say
a lord mower person person?
Speaker 2 (46:31):
That's you know you don't. That's one of the ones
where that's another thing where you kind of don't want
to say you have it right because I don't want
to sound like because I could be doing the lord myself.
But I pay someone. Oh, you pay someone to may
your lawn. I lived on a street where we rented it.
It was a kind of nice area. Everyone basically owned
their homes. We were the only one renting. Everyone on
that street all throughout the weekdays had people pruning their
(46:54):
bushes like hege. It was one of those fancy streets
with all the hedges. People would be there for hours
doing hedges, and we used to think, what money do
these people have? This is rich.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
I have a lord mower person. But we'll talk about
that nixt on next week.
Speaker 2 (47:07):
Now I'm judging. Now you've lost twenty three.
Speaker 1 (47:10):
You haven't seen my lord. You haven't seen my lawn. Okay,
you haven't seen my law. It's basically vertical.
Speaker 2 (47:15):
And that's it for the parenting hangover. That's the end
of the whole show. That's it. Ever, We're never coming back.
I thought I was talking to another regular Kiwi blow.
I know the regular key.
Speaker 1 (47:23):
We dared.
Speaker 2 (47:24):
I do so much lawn content and you've just been
hiding this little secret for a year.
Speaker 1 (47:29):
Like I said, you've heard this, it's my secret. Shames.
I thought I was in a safe place.
Speaker 2 (47:35):
Send your feedback and I need to go. I don't know.
I feel like crying in the feeder position in the
shower with this snooze again. We'll annoy you with making
sure you're following us subscribing wherever. You're listening to us
right now and we are on social at the parenting hangover.
We will see you next week as we went through
and processes together. We've got We've got relationship is see
(47:56):
oh
This is an iHeartRadio New Zealand podcast. Hi everybody, thank
you for your patience and waiting for this episode. It's
been a tough one to get out. We recorded this
on Tuesday this week. Jordan was at the snow and
I was here at home in Auckland, and since then
(00:27):
he wasn't able to upload his audio, and then I
got a concussion, so I haven't been allowed to use
computers or screens for a few days. Anyway, we're finally
getting it out now. It's the same old pod. It
just was recorded on Tuesday and it's dropping now. So
thanks for your patience and enjoy. Hello everybody, Welcome back
to the Parenting Hangover where Look. I don't want to
(00:48):
be too salacious, I don't want to be too teasing
in this, but I have a secret to share on
this week's episode. I've got a secret shame that I
want to be honest with my free Jordan about. I
want to tell you first, but I haven't told anybody
this yet. It's a decision that Lucy and I have
made for our relationship. I want to come out with it.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
It's too really, like we've just finished.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
I didn't mean to tell you the second one. I
didn't mean to tell you any second one. I wasn't
ready to tell you the second one.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
And in my head like, I'm not even joking the
second one. He built up the first one and he
should have. It was a good build. But then you
dropped the second bomb right at the end. So look,
you got to stay around. You've gotta listen to right
in the You can't just think that the first twelve
minutes are the best, because we get into some really
good stuff in their bat twenty eight minutes.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Also, Jordan's gone above and beyond to make this episode happen.
He's not even at home, He's at the bloody snow.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Hopefully this sounds perfect to you. Yeah, But right now
in front of me as a rubbish bin, a toaster,
and a chili bin, and they are all balancing the
devices that I need to make this podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
This is a very awkward set up this week. But
can I just say before you establish the scene and
tell everybody listening to this what you're doing. But I
appreciate the effort that you've gone to like it is.
It has not lost on me how much you have
gone the link Because you've gone through to make the
podcast happen this week.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
If I had focused and thought about it a little
bit more. It really is no skin off my nose.
Podcasts this day and age, it's pretty easy to take
on the road. So I'm currently I'm down the line.
We have pulled trigger on a snow trip that we
were always going to be doing, but a weather bomb
was coming and we were lucky enough that we were
able to quickly go, let's just go today. So on Monday,
(02:32):
Monday afternoon or Monday lunchtime, we were like, we're going
to get the kids early, We're going to go now,
let's just do it. So One, if you listened last week,
I've got David Seymour, politician of New Zealand. He's got
a sniper team out, probably trying to get me because
apparently you can't take your kids out of school. Two,
I thought, yeah, great, Clint, mate, I can still do
the trip of the podcast we did this last year,
(02:54):
exact kind of thing. I was away and so I
packed my little recorder which is tiny, right, it's the
size of a large bloody phone. And I checked my
microphone in but I forgot my phone holder. And then
also so I don't look like a quadruple chin loser
talking to you, right, I've got to get your because
(03:14):
I'm talking to Clinton a laptop right now, so I've
got to get you high enough. So what I've done
is I've put at the batch that we're staying at
the place was staying. I've put the rubbish bin on
the table, and on top of that, as you I'm
talking to you on my laptop. So then the beautiful
phone that films me for our online content. Usually that's
in a fancy flexible phone holder arm. Instead, I have
(03:35):
a chili bin or a cooler or an eski on
the table. I have a not sponsored Russell Hobbs toaster
on top of that, a four slice toaster. Because I
saw I was looking around like what could hold the
phone and the slots of the toaster. I've put my
phone in the toaster and it is sitting there filming
me perfectly. And I'm good. I've had a few wis.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
You say that like you've discovered a new phone. You're like, guys,
the toaster holds the phone perfectly. Why have we been
wasting all this money on tripods all the time, all
this time?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Well, she's thinking that when I plug it back in.
If I put it down just for a split second
and then pop it, that's a cool shot. Man. The
phone comes out, I might electrocute myself my phone met
my phone, but I'm onto something.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Well, look, we appreciate it. You are an okun which
is in the Central Plateau in the North Island to
go skiing. Haven't even done any skiing yet, and I
know that your wife Jody is out of shot, and
you're both pantless at the moment, so it's it's a
big deal.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yes, Clinton may have heard before we hit record. My
wife come down and she said, don't fill me. I've
got no pants on, but she has snuck. We're in
a two it's a it's a little a frame. You
know how all the snow places when you go to
the snow, they're all kind of a frames. It's a
little kind of a frame place, two stories. So everyone's upstairs,
and because I've got headphones on, I can't gauge how
(04:55):
loud I am, so I don't know if they can
hear me word for word, but in my head, the
kids have gone to sleep, and Jody's just going to
have to listen to me babbling because she can't hear you.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
You're gonna hear one hard.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
She's up there. Yeah, she's up there, relaxing. She's in beer,
just chilling, you know, death scrolling. We're just getting away
from I see her. I see it just before we recorded.
I go, just last minute, do you want to be
in this episode?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Can just yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I said, you can grab a wine and you can
just relax and have a laugh, and classic wise, she's like, no,
not really, young.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
You see what it's in the exact same thing.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
That's fine. Well, Lucy has because the multiple times now
I have called her and left messages about her moon
periods and her crystals that she charges, and her sour
kraut and herself, like there's so many layers to the swimmer.
She's like a beautiful onion and I want to get
to the I want to find out more about these stories,
(05:50):
and she just will not answer my call.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
She can't come on the podcast for two reasons, actually,
well three reasons, the first one being she doesn't want to.
Reason number two is tonight is actually a blue supermoon.
I don't know if you've been reading the news, but
tonight is the blue supermoon. It's the largest closest moon
that we will have for a long time. Don't ask
me how long, but we can see it out the window.
So tonight it's a special night for Lucy.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Special or she from what you've told me, she has
the worst, heaviest, most painful period menstruation of the month.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
This is what you've told me, Lucy, if this is
the one episode that you choose to listen to since
the Habish Blake episode, I never said that. I never
said that. All I said is women's periods are linked
to the moon.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
That's all I said, which means you're saying everyone's a
link to the moon. You're saying everyone in New Zealand.
I still don't get it. I call bullshit, and that's
why we need Lucy on to call me up.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Jodi better put some pants on then.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
The funniest thing I'm having at the moment, though, is
I keep just looking to the side because I got
to check that the video that's capturing footage of me,
like you've got one right now, fishing you is working.
And all I see above the toaster, like because seventy
percent of my phone is in the toaster, so all
I see is my eyebrows in my eyes, and I'm thinking,
is that shot going to be okay? And I think
it is, so we'll just carry on. I'm sorry if
(07:07):
the video footage this week on social media isn't that great.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
The third reason that Lucy can't come on the podcast
tonight is because, and this was nearly a major issue,
she didn't because we usually do this in the morning.
She didn't want me to do the podcast tonight because
we are you know when you get into a TV
show together, you know, when you get really deep into
the TV show. And we're up to the last episode
of the show that we've started watching, called Outlander, and.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
I'm so sorry she.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I got through it because we did it a little
bit later. I've watched half the episode and then I've
given her permission to watch the other half without me. Oh,
I will catch up. I will catch up on the
second half of the episode after this.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I'm so sorry. That's one of the worst things you
can do. Jack Black had a famous saying in an interview,
and I've bought it up with my wife that someone said,
what's the key because apparently he's been married a very
long time, very heavy long marriage, and they said what's
the key to the success of your marriage? And he said,
keep watching TV shows and TV series together. Yeah, And
(08:05):
it seems like such a simple thing, but it is
my head. I fully agree. It is so true because
when you finish a series or just you fall off things,
then you lose this connection that you had in the evenings.
You should have your times where you catch up and
have a quick yarn, but there were times where you
sat for a good hour and a half and you
look at each other, your album Whoa, and then afterwards
(08:25):
you talk check black. That's such a good life act.
And I said it, and so we tried. We did
watch something recently together because we our series everywhere had
just stopped. I don't know, and it seems like there's
been a year or six months of nothing that me
and Jodi want to watch together. It's me coming to
sit down in the evenings and rolling my eyes because
my kitchen Rules Australia is on. I come, Oh, I
(08:47):
put on something.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I can recommend Outlander as a show. It's set in
the Scottish Highlands and the seventeen hundreds. It's very raunchy.
It's like it's it's very steamy. There's there's some very
quite good, quite good sixth sense, but then there's some brutal,
horrible shit in it as well. So it's this weird
position of hot Scottish seventeen hundred and six and then
(09:11):
lots of like rape and murder. I'm like, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah,
but it's gripping, it's gripping, and I'll just I'll just
leave it. I'll leave it at that.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
How many seasons is? I feel? It's quite old. I
remember my mum telling me about it maybe seven years ago.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, yeah, okay, twenty fourteen, there's that seven seasons?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
What what platform? Have you watched that one? Listening?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
It's on Lucy's. We're watching the final episode of season
one at the moment, I.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Don't have that one and we can't afford to get
another one. So yeah, wow, I'm gonna have to go
into LimeWire or Nero and try and what is it?
Or Beershare Pirate Bay, pirate pirate Ship.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
How's the kids? I know you're at the snow and
you pulled the out of school. How are they?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yeah, we talked about I mentioned that you were like, WHOA,
that's crazy, Like I was messaging you saying, sorry, bro,
we can't record tomorrow. I'm going to the snow and
we're pulling trigger and you're like, well, must be hectic
getting them out the door. And Jodie mentioned that she
used to work with a guy who had two young
kids and he's like, I couldn't think of anything worse
because we drove once from Auckland to where we are now.
(10:13):
That's five hours just to come to the snow for
two days. And you, guys, I couldn't think of anything
worse and we were fine. And I think the kids
now at a point where they used to coming here
like the snow. I get it. In your first few years,
it's quite a daunting task. The first year you realize
how much stuff you don't have that you thought you
know that you definitely needed. The second year, you think
(10:35):
you've gone and bought everything you need, and there's still
something that was really important that you've forgotten. But at
a point now where we got it all, we know
that they're going to scream and say that their ski
boots don't fit, even though they do fit, because they're
really hard to get into. You know what to do,
and don't we know to save money by packing a
whole lunch box, Like we've got three lunch box packs
to the brim. We're cooking McMuffin splits in the morning
(10:57):
and wrapping them and taking backpacks with food, and you
just you get into a bit of more of confident groove.
So the kids are psyched. We got down here. We
got down here late last night, so it's Tuesday evening
right now. We got down here Monday night hoping to
GetUp the mountain today and a blizzard blue close.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Yeah, So this is the thing with snow life. I
don't know if it's every other country, but probably you
wake up very early and you check the six thirty
am report and that'll tell you pull trigger quickly, start
loading up, go or the mountains closed. So I was
pretty gutted, but apparently tomorrow, so Wednesday and Thursday are
going to be insane. So at Tudors, at the Tudor
(11:36):
what do you call it, ski Skifield Mountain Parkfield Skifield.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I you were talking about how much stuff you need,
and I don't doubt it, and the stuff you don't
know that you need until you're there, now that you
are seasoned ski family, do you have a list to
make sure that you don't forget anything, like do you
have a spreadsheet of stuff that you've taken in the past,
or do you just do top the top of the head.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Yeah, it's kind of top of the head. It's the
top of the head. It's I'm not gonna I'm not
going to put my hand up and say I'm the legend.
It's definitely an amazing wife. Yeah, who was like two days,
like a week out pulling snow gear out. I'm always
more as the unspoken thing where I'm the hardware guy.
So I've been we talked about it. I've been on marketplace.
She's been no part of that. So I've been digging
(12:20):
out and measuring them, figuring out what size skis they need,
what sized boots they need, and then it's my job
to figure out how we getting those skis to the mountains.
So I bought ski ski rack things off marketplace, put
them on bro with no skis in them. Just been
down to the deary because I needed something. And all
you can hear is like a jug whistle, like like
(12:43):
screaming whistle, and I'm thinking, oh, that'll be once I
put the skis and stuff and it won't be doing that,
go and put everything in and the whistle's even worse.
So we ended up just squeezing all the ski gear
into the boot with everyone and take removing the fancy
ski holders that I've got. So if anyone's going tony tips,
please message through. If you live in America, a candidate,
you're going to be used to snow a lot more
(13:03):
than we are, So let me.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Know how much did you pay for the fancy ski
I got.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
The second hand like the pro rec brand news roof
res like for twenty or something. I got them for
one hundred and twenty bucks off marketplace, and then the
ski holder claimp things were like new, they're like two
hundred bucks and I got them for one hundred bucks.
I think. Yeah, so I've just been trying to do
at least half price a lower on the most secondhand things.
(13:28):
Yeah nice, but yeah, I don't know now if i'll
sell them again or the people are saying there tricks
like you wrap some rope around them and it'll stop whistling.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
I feel like you shouldn't have to do that, but yeah,
I know, I know, yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah, like the number one thing right, Okay, guys, we've
built some ski recks. First, let's chuck them on the
roof and test them. Holy shit, Barry, that's a terrible screen. Yeah,
don't worry, just sell them, lox them up and sell them.
They'll deal with it, nah, because Jody's gone. Jody's gone.
Just put the radio and it'll be fine. It wasn't.
We went for a drive to get a test drive
down to school to pick up the kids, and she's
(14:04):
it's fine, it's fine, it's not.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
I know what it sounded like outside the car.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I know, like we've got a sunroof, and I opened
the sunroof and my ears I almost explode On'm like
quickly shut.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Maybe you weren't going fast enough. Maybe once you had
one hundred k that all go away.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
No, we got up to we got up to a
sneaky seventy five k's and a sixty zone just on
a quiet road. Yeah, pretty illegal, just to test it
real quick, just punch the punch the accelerator and it
was bad. So yeah, but we're here now, kids are fizzed.
We're going to have two great days on the mountain.
Fingers crossed. They get very tired really quickly, and you
have to try and push them through. You don't want
(14:40):
to do all this traveling down here for them to
call it quits at like eleven am and want to
come home. You have, you have your pack lunch, you
let them recharge, You promise them a lollipop that you've
got packed, and then you do a few afternoon runs
and then try and come home around two o'clock. Two
o'clock's the plant. That's the time to get off that. Yeah,
that's the oh bro. Our first few years it was
really short, Like you'd get here at like eight o'clock
because you needed a park. It opened at nine that
(15:02):
you could access it, and by eleven am eleven thirty
you were coming back home and that was good. That
was a good time.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
And now that they're older and you've put more money
into ski lessons and skis, you want to stay longer
and make the most of it. So that's what we're
trying to do.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Ohll I've got everything cross for you that you get
up the mountain tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yeah, no to touch I'll say touchwood. But apparently it's
like going to be the best day of the season.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Sad love it good? Okay, that's great.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
How are your kids, men, they're good.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I just finished two weeks off work, two weeks of
annual leave, which I had to take because I had
too much annual leave owing and with my job, which
is the radio, i work until seven o'clock, so I'm
never home for dinner. I'm home on the weekends for dinner,
but during the week I'm not here. And there's just
something that I really liked about. Well, I really liked
(15:45):
it the last couple of weeks, just being around for
all the normal evening stuff, you know. And so I've
gone by the time I had all the time off,
I went sixteen dinners in a row, which I've never
done with my kids before. And you get stories, and
you get some fun dinners, some okay dinners. But then
(16:06):
I had to on Sunday go, oh, this is my
last dinner for a bit, girls, because I got to
go back to work. And you could see that they
were visibly like ah, And I felt s think about it,
and I talked to who did I talk to about it?
I talked to my mom about it and the feeling
of it, and she goes, yeah, well, your dad was
never around for dinner either, because my dad worked night shift.
At a gas station and there's just something I don't
(16:28):
know if you can be there. And what it's done
for me is it's made me go. It's made me
really value the dinners that we have on the weekends,
like where I could go to the pub to watch
the rugby with some mates. But now I'm going, yeah,
every time I do do that at the moment, especially
while they're young, that's just one more dinner at the
end of the day that I'm not going to be therefore,
and not to put too much sort of sentiment on it,
(16:50):
but yeah, I don't know. And I train get them
talking and I do this thing with them at the
dinner table, which I think they kind of hate, but
I think it's good. And I say to them, what
was your favorite part of the day to day? And
we each go around the table and they have to
say what their favorite part of the day is. And
I can tell by the end of doing with me
for two weeks in a row that they were really
freaking sick of it because Tuy's one became everything was
(17:13):
my favorite part of the day. I was like, no, no, no, no,
this is not why we do this. I want to
hear some details about your day. So I would like you,
I'll give you some time, but I'd like you to
actually find a thing that you liked the most about
your day. But it's done now.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
We do it every day. Yeah, we do that every
every dinner, we do the Yeah, we do the favorite
fairite part of the day, hand on heart. Every day
fairite part of the day has to go around mom, dad, yeah, kid.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Same.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Sometimes Nala will be the big grown up six year
old who will start it. Yes, Like will be halfway
through a meal when she realized it has to happen
and she's like, may lap, what's your favorite part of that?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
That's so good And then you have to think. And
some days I think it was the first time, Jody,
it was just so we're here. Yeah, so last night's
dinner we did what's your favorite part of the day.
And so we've woken. I've rammed, like I've been scrambling
to get on top of work because I know I
was coming to the snow already, and then we realize
we're going to the snow. So then I'm freaking out
(18:08):
even more trying to get things like get people in
places on what need to be doing, done, get the
snow gear, all this. Then we drive here three and
a half hours of you know, not how but not
a great time, like a lot of kids singing constantly,
and you're just asking them just to remember inside voice, guys, Like,
we're in a confined space. I've said this message a
thousand times, and the car doesn't have a special thing
(18:30):
where we can't hear.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
We can hear, like.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
It's like your voice is an angle to our ears.
So we had that, and then it came to dinner,
like unpacking, we got here real late. Then it came
to dinner and the kids are like, what was your
favorite part of the day, mum, and like for the
first time, Jody's like, hmmm, oh it's hard. And then
they to me and I'm like, look at Jada, but
I think I'm the same. I can't think of anything amazing.
(18:56):
And luckily they iced over it. It's like they knew
you've had a pretty shit one. We'll we'll just we'll
jump in here. And it was like McDonald's. We had
McDonald's on the way down. Donald I forgot about the McDonald's.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I think we will over time teach them that it's
okay to to, you know, say, if you've had a
ship day, like it's okay to have a ship day,
but it would you should still try and find one
thing that you enjoyed about your day, even if.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
It was just joy or the grateful thing enjoyed or
what are you grateful for if you can't think of
something there was a highlight, Yeah, you want to teach
them to be like, hmmm, nothing great, but it's so
good that we've got there's an amazing dinner that my mate,
but I'm really looking.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Forward to this thing tomorrow or something like that.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I saw, and I don't know if it was a
radio bit or but I saw your radio station social
media team share a list of things you mentioned you
had two weeks off, and one of them was like
you're gonna get ripped and lose seven kg in two
weeks or something.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
No, that's Chinese. No. I said for my holiday, a
list of things I would like to do, and one
of them was to lose four kilos. Okay, okay, because
I'm just going to go well, I haven't sit on
the scales so and I haven't been drawn, and I've
been doing some exercise, but you know, I don't know
I just wanted to do a bit of a health reset,
(20:16):
is what I wanted to do.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Yeah, and you've been charging the weight you've been charging
the weight loss crystals.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yeah, charging the way I've been eating a lot of
the sour krowd. Or I had to throw the sour
crowd out, the funny sour croud. I had to throw
it out. It failed.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
What do you mean? You let her did not loosey
not throw it.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
And when she said it's failed, it needs to go
on the bin, I said to her, oh, thank goodness,
because it stinks and I never wanted to eat it.
And she goes, oh, you're gonna hate this bit. You
have to put it in the bin. I had to
take it downstairs and get rid of the sour kraut,
which is just one of those, you know, duties that
you do as the husband. You do the yuck stuff.
And so I did it. It meant four you.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Throw that twenty twenty four. You throw that back in
her face. You say, see the store here, I see
your hands are full of the sour crowd that wants
to leak its juices on the carpet. But see their
doors closed. I'm not going to open it.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
For you.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
You it's twenty twenty four. You open that door, you
take that so outside to the nighttime with the scary
possums are and you put in the bin.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
You made your sour kraut.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Now sleeping it, exactly rolling it. We had our sauer
kraut equivalent. A couple of years ago were oyster mushrooms.
Have you ever heard of them?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Yeah, you're growing.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
They're weird, like, well, we got give it or giving
it or Jody brought one from a weird market but
brings home this plastic bag that looks like nothing, and
a week later it's like growing fungi looking mushrooms, and
Jody's cutting them and like cooking, mixing them.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
And everything, like eat these guys. And I just couldn't
get the thought of fungus out of my head. And
I'm the kind of guy that eats anything. And she
to the staceys, I'd love to get some more oyst
and I'm no, I don't think we should. Yeah, remember
they were terrible, Yeah, but I was just I was
creeped out by them. They didn't smell bad, they were
just freaky. I grew up with mushrooms going in a
paddock not mushrooms going out of a plastic bag.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
You like the magic ones. I'm hoping that with the
sauer Kraut failure that sauer Kraut's off the menu for
a bit until she wants to give it another Fingers crossed.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Hopefully she's a sour crowd about her sour crowd.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
I've got a confession to make on the podcast today,
and I haven't told anybody this yet, but I thought
I would tell you, but I don't. You have to
promise not to judge me for this thing that I'm
going to tell you.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Do I get guesses?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Yeah, you can have a guess.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah, I feel like we should have a guess. Can
you give it any other clue? Okay? Okay. So it's
something that you know that I'll find kind of slightly
funny and I would judge it, but I have to
hold that back because you asked, don't judge me what.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
I don't know if it's funny. I don't think's.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I don't know if it's fun Okay, oh shit, it
might not be funny.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
It's not super serious either.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
It's just you've got a lower back tattoo.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
It's a decision that me and my wife have made
for the good of our relationship, and it's a lifestyle
decision that we've decided to make.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Okay, did you hear my first GISs.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Lower back tattoo?
Speaker 3 (22:53):
No?
Speaker 2 (22:56):
So where's the laugh?
Speaker 5 (22:57):
That was?
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Gold? Okay, you're going to marriage counseling before you have issues?
That's an apparently.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
About that. Yeah, yeah, where you pay a therapist to
find something that's wrong with your relationship that you didn't
know about. No, it's not that you.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Are experimenting with butt plug crystals.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Oh man, if I was going to a butt plug,
I don't think i'd start with a crystal. I think
I with a nice soft rubber.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
I apologize that that's with the three wines that I've
had while on holiday kicking.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
No, what's happened the decision that we've made as a
couple for the benefit of reverse, No, not reverse forasi
to me, we have decided, and I know, look, we're
in the same financial position as everybody else at the moment,
but we've decided that this is an important thing and
a positive thing that we can do for for for
our own well being. We've decided to get a cleaner.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
I thought it was the biggest thing. That was such
a good, long winded prank. I thought that I've been
getting uncomfortable in my stomach because I'm not good at
hiding my real initial emotions. So if you said something
that I would not be agreeing with, I wasn't ready
to hide it.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
No, you're going to judge me, like I said, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
I would have judged it. I would have sait out loud.
I would have been like, you little weirdo.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Yeah, if it was pigging, you were not going to
be able to not judge me. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
I like. We don't talk about it much because it
affected us. But we also had a cleaner about a
year ago, but we got rid of them.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Okay, this is so good. This is so good. We
have had one clean from our cleaner. Our cleaner came.
She's a local who I actually I found her because
I drove past her on our street and I saw
her unloading and cleaning gear. And I stopped and I
was like, hey, you a cleaner. She's like, yeah, no
ship bro, what gave it away? And I was like, ah,
we're thinking about getting a cleaner. Would you do our house?
(24:50):
She's like yeah, and she came over and I said, oh,
we've we've got it. She told me how much she cost,
and I'll be open about it. She's forty dollars an
hour our cleaner, and I said, we've kind of got
budget for probably two hours a fortnight of cleaning. Do
you think there would be anough to get our house
for our house? Like, come and see our house and
then you tell us if you think that that's enough,
(25:11):
if you could actually do it or not. And then
she came through and she's like, look, it's going to
take me a few more hours than that to get
the house up to scratch, which was a real like, oh,
I've been letting the standard slip as far as cleaning
the blinds and cleaning some of the moldy bits and
the tiles in the shower. But she goes, Yep, after
that two hours a fortnight, I reckon, we could have
this place. We're gonna have this place looking pretty good.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
I don't judge at all. They're amazing. If you can, yes,
it's an extra cost, yes, but if you can make
it work, or let's say, even if you are able
to sacrifice something that you know is a bit of
a splurge. But when people tell you like, no, it isn't.
Would you shut the gup? But oh sorry? What that
extra little clear I get every day that I know
I don't need that is four dollars twenty but I
(25:54):
like to get in the afternoon because it PEPs me up.
Give it to the your clear. Do you do four
dollars twenty times seven? That's twenty eight to it. We're
up to thirty bucks. Time's a bloody month. There you go.
You're getting your money for your.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Clean exactly right. For us, it was. It's like a
prioritization thing, and times are very tight for everybody at
the moment, including us. But we will find it in
the budget somewhere because it's something that we see value in.
We're both really busy people. Everybody's really busy, but like
the time that we do have spare, we'd rather spend
(26:25):
it with each other and with the kids or actually
relaxing rather than just limping to the weekend and then
having this mountain of cleaning in front of you. So
I don't know, man, we've only had it once, but
I feel like it already feels like a really good
decision if you're in the position to be able to
do it. It feels like and why did you stop having
(26:46):
your cleaner?
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Well, before we get to that, we'll get to that.
But most I agree, because most parents, most modern age parents, yeah,
a lot are working, both working, or a lot have
a shitload on. And you get what you call your
surface clean down every day, which means clean the kitchen,
top load, the dish washing, more of a tidy. You
might get a chance to run around with a vacuum,
what you know, if stuff's being dropped, but doing the
(27:10):
doing the dusting, or wiping the top of a skirting.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Board or washing windows blind.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
And when it comes to like I remember my mum religiously,
we knew that Saturday or Sunday mornings or Saturday afternoons
was like cleaning day. All the dining room chairs were
up on the table and I was like, I don't
come in, Mum's doing a deep clean. But it was
also a day that you knew you were stuck at
home because mums cleaning the entire house like deep clean.
(27:38):
They take cleaners take a massive load off. We had
a cleaner also one of the before I get to
why we got rid of ours? How are you? I'm
a real weirdo with letting people in. I don't like
people coming into my hotel room when we stay at
a hotel, so I always put the do not disturbed
in And so when we were getting a cleaner, that
was a big thing for me. I was like, I'm
so uncomfortable with something a stranger coming into my home.
(28:01):
And it's this whole thing I have from of lights
that show target I trust.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Oh yeah, okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
I think as soon as you say to a builder, yeah, mate,
that's the job, I'm going to pop off now. I
don't care who you are. I think every builder has
a little wander around your house. Look, if you're not
doing anything, you just a weird no, no, no, they're not
doing anything. But they're just like, oh yeah, that's the bedrooms. Anyway,
go do the dick now. Or at some point of
the day they're going somewhere where and.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
You'll hear it shouldn't have been happening. Yeah, And builders.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Will be in plumbers and everything. We'll be listening. Now,
we don't do that, but on your lunch break you Oh.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
But they's definitely a vibe thing, and I think that's
why it's part of the reason why we got them
over first, so they could check out the house and
we could get a vibe for them. And they always
go and they got it too. They were like, this
is what it would cost, this is how much time
we'd need. We'll go away and let you guys have
a chat about it, no pressure. You let us know
if you would like to, so that you can then
go to your partner and go, oh, I've got a
bit of a weird vibe from them. And then you
(28:51):
could not engage them. But we did it with these people.
They seem wonderful.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
But I don't want to ski you. But there was
a TV show called Target Right and Will Know It
in New Zealand, and their whole purpose of the show
was they set up hitting cameras and they would get
trade's or cleaners or whatever into a property to do
with the exact same job, and they would rate them
on how good a job they did. But the disturbing
things they were trying to get disturbing things, the disturbing
things they would find as I'm not I when people say,
(29:17):
like even Jody would say, why are you so uncomfortable?
Like the thought of a plumber working on our house
for the day without us there whenever we need a
trade e. I make sure I'm home and I make
sure that they know I'm home throughout the day, like
in case they've forgotten, Like on purpose, I'll come upstairs
really noisy because I don't like the thought of someone
in my house.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
But I don't know because it's because you know, you
think they're gonna sniff your undies?
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Why? No? No, I think something. I've got so much shit.
I think stuff's going to be swiped. I think something's
going to be stolen.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
I just Target Target bro scarred me that show. I
would have watched that show when I was like yeah
fourteen fifteen, sixteen seventeen, and Google are watching it. Religious.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Google reviews are the new target though, so like looking
at a trade's Google reviews before you hire them, like anything,
Dodgy is going to stand out like a sore thumb
because if you have a bad experience with the trading,
you're absolutely going to go and write it on their
Google of you know you're you're right, and then you've
got trust issues. But I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
I do, and I will put it down to target
Target burnt me. I seriously even.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Get broke out Smith on the podcast text.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
We've had no trading, no plumber, and we've had a
lot done on our house. No one has worked on
our house and we have left the property. Wow, like
everyone we plan to have at our house, either me
or Jody.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Or you supervised them. How intimidating for the trades. People
just have.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
This guy watching I'm down in my I'm down in
my office working. He's present or it's some kind of
buildery mate where I'm actually on tools helping. But there's
been people come and do things. Well, yeah, I'm just
in my office, but now and then I'm just bam,
there I am. And it's the kind of people trading
hate exactly, the ones that are popping over showing me
how's it ship? Do you use there? I thought I
(30:54):
thought you'd use silicon? Are you gonna are you gonna
wipe that? But are you gonna wipe that? Better? So
so I'm that person.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Back to your cleaner, Why did you stop having a cleaner?
Was it just a financial decision or no?
Speaker 2 (31:06):
So one there was a time I had to come
home at a lunch break and she was caught upside
down in our six.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Wing and I was like, did you get it on
the camera.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
As she was hanging upside down looking at me saying,
please help me out. I see, we've got to get
rid of you this cross the light. No, we only
got rid of our cleaner because we were in the
same thing of you. Like life was just busy, and
they just took that little They made life that much
easier just getting cleaner. Who come in. We were the
same as you once a fortnite for that deep clean
knocks and crannies you don't have time for. And that
(31:39):
was when Jody was working on She had a full
time job on Grand Designs, the TV show, and then
that show fizzled out and she had more time at home,
and then we were both kind of at a point
where we forgot the cleaner. Jody would be cleaning and
then realized, oh, the clean is here today. No, it
was like a double cleaning on, you know, and then
to kind of like, I don't think we need the
cleaner anymore. I've got time. Yeah, right to be to
(32:02):
be the captain of the ship again. I put on
the captain hat and this.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
But you wouldn't be. It was a good experience for
you because I've only had it once I'm asking genuine questions.
It was a good enough experience for you that if
and when Jodie becomes busy again, you would look to
take it up again. Yeah, yeaheah, yeah, yep, yeah, good, Okay,
I haven't and I haven't told.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
It was so weird though, that I had to stand
right behind them as they vacuumed back and forth, back
and forth, and then wh they sprayed the windows. I
was just there, just watching on the other side, hard
because the whole time I was thinking I should just
be doing the cleaning because I'm following her so meticulous.
That's the cleaner. Our cleaner cleaned without any of us there.
So there was a big stick.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
That's the one that's the one person you trusted. You know,
you're the only person that I've told about the cleaner
because I have this thing inside me because of the
way that I was raised and I had a very
similar upbringing to you. We come from similar financial backgrounds,
the same kind of thing. Like, I just feel like
people are going to go, oh, oh, fancy guy, I
(33:03):
got a cleaner, right, got a cleaner off Nancy pants,
mister Bloody's celebrity, got a cleaner, guy? I see how
it is must be nice. God, I hate must be
nice so much the saying must be nice. But that's
what I'm worried about getting.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
I hear exactly what you mean, and no, but I know,
nah shit, I disagree. I had a brother in law who,
like day dot, their kid got to like the age
of one, and they're like, we're getting to live in opia. Yeah,
and they were. They were. They were farmers in the
middle of the White Cuttle region. You know, you think farmers,
farmers are struggling paycheck to paycheck, We've got to live
(33:39):
in opia and we also have a cleaner. And I'm
just like, wow, okay, And I I'm not judging you then,
because I hear farmers are struggling every day. Yeah, and
I know other farmer friends with cleaners that come in,
so I hear. I hear the concern. But at the
same time, I don't think I wouldn't worry about it
too much.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Mate, Oh, it's probably it's not going to stop us.
But as far as telling people about it, like I
just but I mean, how often do you tell people
that you're like, hey, I'm clear, did you know I've
got a cleaner, Like conversation.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
What are the other things you get where you know
you're scared to say that you've got it because of that.
Oh are you some rich guy? Are you?
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Like us or even us coming to the snow, always
defending that going right now, yeah, right now, we're at
a we're at a friend's.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Batch, and they don't know that you've been hustling for
three months to buy second hand on Facebook market racks
and things like that. They don't. They just you're right,
that's the same thing they just hear. But oh, snow,
oh it must be nice.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Yeah, you are one hundred percent the same background as me.
Where you and I no matter. Let's say we both
become ten millionaires tomorrow. We're never going to be show
poties about it because our upbringing makes us so uncomfortable
about anything that you think, shit, actually, I forgot Dad
didn't do this. Yeah, look here I am. I remember
(34:57):
doing my back lawn and it was all by seed, right,
and everyone loved those videos for so long, and then
all of a sudden I got over it. And next
year I bought myself some sod, some ready lawn, some
roll out turf, and I remember thinking it as I
was posting that, oh look at you, miss fancy Pants'
benched a bit of coin on this.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Haven't you've changed? That's the worst one, bro, You've changed.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
You've changed. But I think you and me are very
very similar, and it's very good. I say, it's very
good that you're self aware of it.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Mate. Yeah, you're right. I'll just leave it at this.
You're right. It's the comparison to what your parents and
how your parents operated, which is sometimes good for keeping
you grounded, but also shouldn't prevent you from doing anything
that you think is right for you. Because I go,
my parents managed to clean the house perfectly, fine, why
can't I do it? It's like, yeah, but I bet,
if I bet, if they had the opportunity to have
a cleaner, they would have. They would have absolutely loved it.
(35:47):
Oh this is the last. But my freaking mum was
a cleaner.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
So my mom was a cleaner. Yeah, actually my mom
was a cleaner.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm remembering that correct. I think
when we were really little she took some hours cleaning
some people's houses.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
I'm pretty sure I remember my mom. My mum cleaned
the squash club and I yes, sitting at the squash
club as she went around cleaning that. A few neighbors
down the road, just odd cleaning.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Jobs listens to the podcast. So Mum, if I have
got that wrong, text me, but I feel like I
remember you doing some cleaning.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Yeah, it was. I aware that your mum listens to it.
When I'm talking about crystal anal plugs.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
She's very open minded. My mother. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
She's not that open.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Okay, Cary, that's a quick break, because we've got some
ripping feedback this week came.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Feedback here. It is the parroting hammer.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
I was waiting for that. Remember our death episode, which
I was really proud of us for doing. By the way,
I think it was a good, meaty topic. I think
it was good. You know, we think we don't we
don't go serious a lot death. There's nothing funny about death.
And I think we handled it with maturity and I
think it was good.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
I think there was a shift. I felt the shift
out there. There was a cultural shift able to talk
about it.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
You reckon, We affected the culture with that podcast.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
I just found I felt it that kids kids the
next day.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Because yeah, because we got that message about our death
episode from Iris.
Speaker 6 (37:17):
Hi, guys, trying the voice message now because you insist
I just listened to your death episodes, which sounds terrible
saying that out loud. Anyway, just a small idea that
we had or I had. We already talked to our
daughter about this because she already had questions with three
and a half years old, who is my grandma, who's
my grandpa? Well some of those aren't there anymore, so
we explained when people are cremated, they become part of
(37:39):
the stars again, so not really heaven't because we're not religious,
but you know, like the science explanation that's also a
bit cool. Or if they're buried, that they're under the ground,
because she really wanted to know where they were physically.
It definitely also gave her some scares a few days
later where she imagined everything them not being there, us
not being there, so we had to console her, and
(37:59):
having this narrative helped win. My aunt passed recently. It
was very easy to explain and no more.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
Scarce, so it's such a good message. She touched on
the bit that we talked about, which was my biggest
fear of giving them the information was them then being
afraid of the idea of us not being there because
they're so smart and so intuitive and they always go
that next step with it. She didn't really explain how
she soothed that fear of the kids being afraid that
you won't be there, But I guess they just need
(38:27):
time to come to grips with it.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
One thing I didn't pick up when we did talk
about that episode, and I've pushed it a few times.
My agenda on this podcast trying to ram home to
all parents out there that all your kids are born
very much who they are and help them throughout right.
And like you just mentioned, my three kids are so
different with all this. So my wife's dad very much
wore his heart on his sleeve. Could you could start
(38:49):
telling a story about when his daughter was born, or
his I don't know, his first marriage, or something slightly
emotional on TV tear up and like, yeah, okay, guy,
fine to show fine to show his emotion. Yeah, fine,
to get a bit of a cry on He's handed
that down to all three of us daughters have it like,
can get very emotional, Jody, what my wife watching my
(39:11):
kitchen rules? If it's one of the sad story moments,
where the dad has helped her and thrown down a
tea towel and she's in the you'll look up like
I know moments of TV where I can look over
to Jody and she'll look at me and go, don't
look at me. And she's got it. She's passed it
down to one of our kids, but not but not
the other two. And so the other one we've had
this where someone passing the family and she was going
(39:34):
to bed and really thinking about it, and it was
affecting her because she was thinking about us. So all
these like kid what ifs and we're not close to
our death beds whatsoever, but in her head. And so
you've got to go in and just say, look, no,
we're fine. Granddad was very old or grandma was very old.
Mom and dad are fine. We're the other two. I'm
not emotionally connected. I'm not thinking about that. I'm going
to sleep thinking about unicorns. And yet your kids are
(39:57):
going to be different. You're going to give them the talk.
If you've got more than one kid, you're going to
give them the talk. And you've got to remember that
all of them are going to take different parts of
that and process it differently.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
And I guess there's no need to prepare your children
for a sudden accidental death of their parents, because the
odds are it won't happen. And if it does happen
to you, that's okay. It won't be your problem, but
it'll be the other parents problem.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
Such a you're like, I love that we talked about
this problematic issue a few weeks ago. Death and now
let's look about this one. You've carcked it, but who cares.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
She'll be much better at dealing with it than me.
Should be much better. Let's go to this message about
stick a chart from A Vaughn. You remember how I
told you that we're running a stick a chart to
try and keep Maggie in bed, And it's a thirty
days stick a chart where at the end of it
she's going to get a toy that she's going to
choose from farmers. She gets a sticker every night that
she sleeps all night. Might not be the best approach,
according to A Vaughne.
Speaker 5 (40:50):
So just listening to your latest podcast about talking to
kids about death, haven't got to the death part yet.
Just paused it because I wanted to send Clint a
message and just say the stick a chart is a
brilliant idea. But a month a month is far too
long for that tiny human to for their reward. It
needs to be regularly, like either daily, like there's a
(41:12):
small reward daily, or there's a reward at the end
of the week. A month is far too long for
that tiny human to wait for a reward. And you
think thirty days for two year old. I don't even
know what the mass is, but that's like a massive
chunk of their life and it's far too long, and
she'll forget and she'll get bored. That's why she she
will fill up the stickerture, bring it down straight faced. Dad,
(41:35):
Look I did it so yeah, so just just take
a look at that and look at revising how the
reward time is.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Thank you, Von. I feel like I've been told off.
And I know you. I know you've seen it with love.
I know you do, but and I was like, oh,
what have I done to my poor daughter?
Speaker 2 (41:53):
You fully just got told off in the nicest way.
I find it very funny. You've just been put on
by apparent, by a parent who's just like like, surely
you know this, Like come on, come on, mate, the
go on the top of the dishwasher and the plates
go on the bottom. But she's she's completely right right
as we get off. Is this why as we get older,
(42:13):
every adult out there can agree with me that every
single year we go No, it's not August already, this
year is the fastest ever. Her science there makes sense
that when you're a kid, a year, a month or
day seems so long. But the older you get, because
does this happen for like, does my grandma who's in
seventy eight or whatever, does she think that the years
(42:34):
are still getting or do they get? Is there a
point with it?
Speaker 1 (42:36):
I reckon they go I've heard they go even faster
when you're old, they go faster. Yeah, I reckon, That's
what I've heard. That's what I've heard. I hear you
have on And can I just say that the Sicker
chat was Lucy's idea. So I'll play her your message
and I'll telegraph the telling off to Lucy because the
sickerd chart was her idea.
Speaker 2 (42:56):
How convenient that it's Lucy's idea? Who doesn't listen to
the podcast once every six months?
Speaker 1 (43:01):
Last but feedback this weekend is from Nathan Hey.
Speaker 3 (43:05):
Boys, love your work listening from Melbourne, Australia. Just listen
to the Olympics chat after what sort of your family
does with the Olympics. Well, I found that my wife
is a massive perve basically watches the Olympics and is
(43:30):
full on checking all the packages out and rating athletes
not by their athletic ability but by their anatomy ability.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
So yeah, it's good.
Speaker 3 (43:44):
To know that my wife's the giant perv. In fairness.
She will also comment on the female sexes as well,
because she's an equal opportunities kind of girl. Although I'm
saying that her biggest issue with the female athletes is
how very few of them have a cameltoe. It's quite baffling,
she says, not being a female, I have no anyway,
(44:07):
keep the good work.
Speaker 1 (44:08):
Up, boys, very honest checked his wife under the bus.
But you know it's very honest message from Nathan, and
we appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
Well, we look, we're not going to lie that we
don't know that there's athletes with giant junk. There's the
guy who famously lost out on the Paul. Did you
see that because his pole He hadn't tucked his pole
the right way and it just fell into it. Potentially
he had something stuff down there, because really, come on, guys. Yeah,
(44:36):
but look he's laying as well. He sees it. We're dudes,
we see it. You might not comment on it. Rural
guys would be scared to even mention it or acknowledge
that we're talking about right now because it'd be like,
am I gay? Because I just looked out at the Olympics.
So they played eight guys in the one hundred meters
sprint and you wouldn't believe it. Then they did this
(44:57):
replay front on all of them running towards me. Oh,
it's all I could see. It's all I could see
was eight snakes just flopping back and forth. I They're
going to bloody pounce and bite me. I'm not gay, though,
but they filmed it very impressive. Look, we're dudes, I saw.
I'd agreed like his wife. I saw some massive junks,
like some junks where I was like, you shouldn't be
doing this sport mate. It was some guy who ran
(45:19):
a marathon and it looked like he had smuggled something
down his trousers and I just thought, that has been
rubbing this whole marathon.
Speaker 1 (45:26):
Trithlon run it arguably makes it more impressive because he's
had to contend with that between his legs for the
entire marathon.
Speaker 2 (45:33):
You know, yeah, I mean I know all about it
because of my goot chundies with the hole at the
good very large. So like like now as I've got
no undies on right now, it's it's on the carpet.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
Look, we appreciate the honesty. If you for some feedback
for next week, I'd love to know he.
Speaker 2 (45:51):
Needed you to back me up and say that You've
also noticed other dudes large junk at the Olympics and
you did it, So now I'm the weirdo.
Speaker 1 (45:57):
It's just you man, and you talked about it for
so long too, like I feel like you were really
into it. I let you go, but you know I
got to bring it back at some stage the Penis Olympics.
Can I ask for some feedback this week from people
who either have a have a cleaner or something like that.
You've chosen to apportion some of your household budget to
(46:18):
something that makes your life easier. What is that thing?
And maybe you never thought you would spend money on this,
like you said, like an o pair, like like a
regular babysitter, like a cleaner. How much do you say
a lord mower person person?
Speaker 2 (46:31):
That's you know you don't. That's one of the ones
where that's another thing where you kind of don't want
to say you have it right because I don't want
to sound like because I could be doing the lord myself.
But I pay someone. Oh, you pay someone to may
your lawn. I lived on a street where we rented it.
It was a kind of nice area. Everyone basically owned
their homes. We were the only one renting. Everyone on
that street all throughout the weekdays had people pruning their
(46:54):
bushes like hege. It was one of those fancy streets
with all the hedges. People would be there for hours
doing hedges, and we used to think, what money do
these people have? This is rich.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
I have a lord mower person. But we'll talk about
that nixt on next week.
Speaker 2 (47:07):
Now I'm judging. Now you've lost twenty three.
Speaker 1 (47:10):
You haven't seen my lord. You haven't seen my lawn. Okay,
you haven't seen my law. It's basically vertical.
Speaker 2 (47:15):
And that's it for the parenting hangover. That's the end
of the whole show. That's it. Ever, We're never coming back.
I thought I was talking to another regular Kiwi blow.
I know the regular key.
Speaker 1 (47:23):
We dared.
Speaker 2 (47:24):
I do so much lawn content and you've just been
hiding this little secret for a year.
Speaker 1 (47:29):
Like I said, you've heard this, it's my secret. Shames.
I thought I was in a safe place.
Speaker 2 (47:35):
Send your feedback and I need to go. I don't know.
I feel like crying in the feeder position in the
shower with this snooze again. We'll annoy you with making
sure you're following us subscribing wherever. You're listening to us
right now and we are on social at the parenting hangover.
We will see you next week as we went through
and processes together. We've got We've got relationship is see
