Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hey guys, before we get into this week's episode, I
just wanted to give you a quick reminder of how
you can support this podcast to make sure that it
keeps existing.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
How do podcasts live and survive in this world? Well,
we've got to show advertisers, right who want to spend
a bit of coin by getting us to do sponsored stuff.
We've got to show them that we're growing and that
people actually listen to us. So the main metrics that
we have to do that is by you, guys, following
our social media or making sure that you are following
or subscribing to whatever platform you are listening to us on.
(00:32):
We then have metrics and stats and we can go, hey,
they're fancy advertising brand person, look at these amazing figures.
So it might seem like a ball lake excuse the
pun from Clint a few weeks ago, but it means
a lot to us. If you can just go click
that follow that subscribe, it'll only take here ten seconds
and you come back and enjoy the lulls.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Plus, if you're a brand who would like to get
on board with the parenting hang of a podcast, we'd
love to have you and we'd love to work with you.
To talk about your product that are right for parents.
You can email us if you'd like to be involved
The Parenting Hangover at gmail dot com. Thanks guys, Hello everybody,

He's here. We've got all the guests. We've also like
scheduling weird enough, they'll make it. There's a bit of
(01:36):
stuff with the schedule, so we might just talk about
how the Olympics is inspiring our kids. Are they getting
into it or not? You know, are we getting into it?
Does it take us down memory road? Thing? Shit, we
could have been there. It's a it's a.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Real teaching opportunity the Olympics, if you use it right,
it's a memory making opportunity. And we're all about it.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
And we try to get the answers about that little
blue man from the opening ceremony. That's all today on
the Parenting Hangover.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
How was the blue Man? The world is asking that question,
the freaking blue Man. Thanks for Celende on you can
keep the blue.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Man, Celena. It's such a beautiful up there, and then
we cut to get everyone wants the podcast, It's just
start straight into it, mate. How's the kids?
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Very good, full week of school down, very happy school girl.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Very happy school girl, like brimming. They did like a
they did a Matariki thing last Friday. I was like, guys,
Maiki was like a month ago, but they're just doing
it now. And they take us into the classroom to
they do like a dawn thing like sunrise and just
in case you don't know what donner.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Is, yeah, thank you for those who don't know what.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Dinners, it's when the sun comes up. And then they
take us into the we have a hot chocolate and
a sausage for breakfast, and then.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
They very very traditional Marti meal exactly. Matariki is celebration
of the Marty New Year, and they were known that
back in the early eighteen hundred's, a hot chocolate and
a sausage went down a real tree.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
The sausage cooked above ground on the traditional Maori LPG
gas bottle.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Barbecue a Weber Webber, yeah, which is Mardi company.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah, that's mar toranger maori one oh one, I believe, yeah, yeah.
And then we went to the school and they're like,
come and visit the kids classroom so they can show
you what they've been learning about matariki and all their
artwork and stuff. It's only been there for five days.
And the teacher was like, whom she did that picture
over there, She's in that one. And then there's another
(03:40):
kid who wears the same hoodie as her, who bears
a striking resemblance to her, And I'm like, oh, she's
in this picture over here, and they're like, no, no, no,
that's the other girl. I'm like, ah, is this herb No, no,
that's the other girl as well.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Oh okay, see I've not had this this middle of
the year started, which is so common for so many people.
But my weird family, me and my three has included
we all are born at the top of the year,
and in New Zealand that's your school year. Your school
year starts at the top of the year. I know
other countries it's a weird middle of the year thing,
but we are like February and all my kids are
born banged there, so they kind of started school brand new,
(04:14):
fresh year. How's it going? So yeah, how hard would
it be as a little kid walking into a school
and not everyone's new, Like everyone's like, yo, this is
my table, but it's been my table for a month.
You've got to come here and try and say to me.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
You little I think the class that she's in as
a whole class of year zeros though, so she's not
year one, she's year zero because the count she'll just
be at school for six months.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Okay, she'll just be like, they'll teach you how to
roll a cigarette, bit of aping, it's just a it's
a right off year, forget about it. She learns how
to make homebrew beer and a bathtub it's just classic
Kiwi stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I think everyone in that class is a year zero
and maybe they didn't like establish the class until like
mid term two. You know, yeah, everyone who's going to
have to repeat. So yeah, but she's into it and flying.
So two is great. And Maggie, my three and a
half year old two he got invited to a birthday
party on the weekend that Meggie didn't get invited to.
(05:10):
It was the first birthday party where only one of
them was invited because it was a five year old's
party and you don't want some stinky three and a
half year old. They're killing your buzz When.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
You're a man five year old getting smashed off a
few KGB's, it's like, come on, it's four KGB's, not two.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
And so Mey and Maggie went out and had a
solo dad daughter day, which I realized me and two
used to do all the time and have done all
the time while Meggie has been a baby, but me
and Meg have never done it. So it was really nice.
And we just went to a cafe and had a
fluffy and then looked at some shops and went to
the playground. And she said to me at the end
of the day, I said, was that fun? She goes, yeah, Daddy,
(05:46):
I had a really fun day with just you, and
I would like to do it again.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I was like, oh, such a win. And it's this.
It's when we had Hamish on yes Australian salib hamish.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
And it was Dad horracle hamish.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, he was giving this, giving us this advice, and
you've just reminded me about it. Life gets so busy.
This is just me coming up with excuses. But have
I gone and planned an awesome, deady daughter things. So
that I said so pasiently in that podcast that I
need to do them. I've done none. Maybe there's been
like a one off trip like out but jumping the car,
good to cookie, go to Bunnings and pick up this.
(06:22):
Yeah yeah yeah, but that's it, like jumping my ute.
We're going down the road to get some car parts.
But there's been no planned.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
But like we talked, but like we talked about last
week and this idea of little things being big things
to kids, Like just going to a cafe in the
playground was a big thing for her, so long as you,
I think you make it a thing.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Half she's straight. Half it was bloody huge. Try that
with a nine year old. They're like, Dad, we've done
the whole fluffy thing. Mate, I'm too big for this
baby playground. I'm like, no, you're not. You're still a
little girl in my eyes.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I listened to the podcast, Dad, you're meant to be
taking me to a hotel for the night.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
How my kids are? We're a mixed bag. Since we've
seen each other. So we had netball, So I think
I've explained. Saturdays are very busy for our family. Three
girls all with netball, all at kind of different times
throughout the day, and I think, again, it's just me
calling myself out on stuff that I'll claim on this
podcast and then not actually make happen. I'm going to
(07:19):
get out there and I'm going to do all this
extra curricular coaching with the kids and do this. I've
maybe done it twice. And so I watched their game
on the weekend and just realized they need a little
bit to work on and we could help help push
them along a bit. So Sunday took Meela and Alba
to the local primary school and we did netball drills
and stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Have been running a knitball boot camp.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
I'll be running a netball boot camp that I charge them.
They have to pay, and I want them to get
their friends into a pyramid scheme. I want all the
kids on the school coming.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
What are your kitball credentials? A coach can teach you
bad habits.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah, my older sister played representative netball, okay, and so
I was from the age of five to the age
of probably twelve, A lot of my saturdays outside and
Sundays outside of rugby was you then were traps to
I think it was in ted Upper in Hamilton, and
it's just your classic in New Zealand. Picture a million
(08:17):
outdoor basketball courts and a million and a million whistles
and a million games of netble going on, and you're
just a care to us to come watch your sister.
It's just boo, that's a whistle, by the way, it's terrible,
and you're just hoping that mum and dad get you
a hot chips. But I watched a lot of nepple.
I've been around netble, my heart. I'm not just someone
who knows nothing. And like the dad fraternity that's on
(08:37):
the sideline at any netble game, we all start bitching
and like we should coach next year. I think I
should be coaching, and I say this every year, but no,
I know enough and from watching the other coaches do stuff.
So we're working on our passing, working on where you
need to be and like they're at the age where
I can get away with teaching them some stuff as
(08:59):
they get to twelve, thirteen, fourteen, probably not, but right now,
like Albert, it's her first year. She's nine, but it's
a complete first year, so she's not like a five
year old starting, so she has to get up to
speed quite quickly. So it's just help being figure out
where she needs to be. How when you're marking a nitbule,
that's your person, you stick to them like glue you
want to be riding. I'm teaching them things like I
want you to get comfortable being uncomfortable because I said
(09:21):
to Line I know, I said to Lerida, who are
the best players you've come across? Is that the ones
that really annoy you and are right on you and
just get under your skin? And she goes yes, and
I go, so, why on weekends aren't you glued to
your person? She's like, I don't like that. It's real awkward.
Like that's it. You need to be comfortable that. That's
taking your knipbule to the next step is being able
to get into their comfort zone because that's how you
(09:42):
are a good defender. There'll be mums rolling their eyes,
but this is dad coaching here and this is the
advice that I was giving them. But that went really well.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Nitble is such a great sport, and I feel like
with the we've come so far with rugby being for
boys and girls, it'd be great for more boys got
an to knitball as a sport as well. It's good,
it's fast paced, it's also hardcore. People wonight not know
this about knitball. But are there any other sports that
are played on concrete?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah, I'm not sure. Yeah right, nally your street basketball,
but yeah, yeah, true. But I played indoor netball for
a while, like as you do, like your weekday. This
is when you're older, you've left university, your mid twenties,
and someone says, hey, mate, I want to play social
indoor netball. That was hard out, that was good fun.
But the Silver Ferns, the New Zealand national team, our
(10:30):
female team. They for warm ups before big tournaments, play
the New Zealand men's national teable team. Yeah, and the
men's team absolutely wallops them, which is great because it's
a really great lesson for them to they got to
go rough and tumble because these guys are just built bigger. Yeah,
they've all got a few inches on them. I think
it's a great little and it gets some viewership. Man,
(10:50):
it's great to watch.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Real Dick moved from the men's team to thrash the
women's team.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Though, you know, yeah, at the same time, I'm like,
at the same time, you're like oh gosh, but little
Nala Wright couldn't join us because we do you get
the email or the parent message group, the school group.
Saturday morning, it's just alarm bells. Kids are dropping from
our school like flies. Something is going around, and Nala's
in a Nipple gear ready to go and just starts
(11:14):
crying to mom like I don't feel too good. Yeah,
I don't want to go to Nipble. And I'm like,
you're just tired. Come on, you need to go. Your
team needs you. Giving her that kind of speech, you
gotta come, Nala. I know you're a bit tired, but
you got to come to Nible and then just more
of it, and I was like, just go, don't worry
because Jody coaches her team. So Jody had to go
to Nipple without Nla. Jody gets to Nipple realizes there's
(11:35):
only two kids there because everyone is sick Nala. Jody left.
Nala slipped on the couch for four hours, just out
of the blue, and that slowly built up too. She
woke up powerchucked.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Everywhere and for the next skin for the.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Last She's just come right just today.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Have you been giving her the shot of tequila?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Bro No dodn't even think should have. I know that
was for adults, that's right, But for the last hour
she's that, by the way, for yourselves.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah, me and Lucy been doing the tequila shot.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah yeah, but lying to yourself and telling yourself you're
sick all the time, like every week night. That's not good.
It's not healthy. You would have put the kids on
Lucy looking down the couch at each other. I think
I've got the sniffles the tequila. Yeah, buddy, this is
the sickest. I don't want to spend too much time
(12:23):
on this because I feel like it's a theme of
the Bloody podcast. But the secont she's ever been like
your little heart went out to her last night. She
woke up and you could tell what was going on. Yeah,
she had the you know when you ever flu and
your your temperature goes up and down you kind of
get tingly skin. Yeah, like you kind of get the
sweats and you're just uncomfortable temperature wise. She had that,
and she couldn't explain it. And then I was able
(12:45):
to put words in her mouth and kind of figure
it out with her. But and her breathing was real shallow,
like there were some stuff where were really watching her.
She come right though, but a lot of spewing then
spewing where your body's trying to spear. Nothing's there like
she was just but she's such a battler.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
You're on the Lucas aid or the pedia light.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Yeah, just water man. I know we've had that stuff,
but they won't drink it. We've got it in the cupboard.
It's the stuff when you have like diarrhea, yeah, rehydrate.
It's just it's terrible' We shure to go to a
blue power raid pie from the dairy, but that's the kids.
Everyone touchwood. No, we were like, this is going to
sweep the house. Touch Wood. No one else got it.
(13:26):
I was I was expired hand sanitizer from COVID days.
I was trying to went off in twenty twenty one.
I'm wiping down the remote and all the things around
Nahla where she set up on the couch. I do
not want the household getting this. Let's let's jump let's
let's just jump right here. Let's just allie our way
into the next segway of what we're talking about tonight,
Olympics and all things that swept our house I was
(13:48):
a little bit late. We're recording Monday night tonight. I
was a little bit late running down here, me and
the two big girls and Jody. Can I call her
a big girl? Do they take a feint? You can
call your daughter's big girls, but can you call your
wife a big girl? Geez? That Me and my two
big girls and Jody. We're watching the woman's skateboarding Olympic finals.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Oh okay, it.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Wasn't It wasn't live. It was like a twenty two
minute package of just the finals. The ages are thirteen
to nineteen of the eight finalists. My girls are just
like eyes wide open, Holy shit, this is amazing.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
And we thirteen at the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yeah, we're full on Olympic family. We wake up in
the morning, see what's going on. At nighttime, I check
the news to see what new Zealanders are coming up,
and we're all for it. We're watching Simon Biles. They've
just done a highlight package of that American gymnast and
so Narla does gymnastics. And we talked about Narla being
quite nuggetea, quite well put together, just a solid rigger muscle.
We put on the Simon bars and I'm going, no,
(14:46):
that's you, mate, this is going to be you. And
she's watching like whoa, and she's going no, but no,
but I won't have hair like that stuck in the den.
And she's like, and I won't wear that one, but
I will wear one of these that we're one of these.
But she is just insane.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Here's a here's a nuggative fact you can use next
time to impress your two big girls. And Jody. That
outfit that Simon Biles is wearing is encrusted with Wolfski Swavrowsky.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yes, Slavsky.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Is entrusted with crystals. Five thousand dollars. That outfit she's
wearing is worth and she's got eight of them.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I suppose that's the blinging life you get. I googled
earlier in the week, right because you hear about the
Olympic village and Jody. This is I really caught we
both Jody and I caught myself out just talking straight bullshit.
We're on the couch watching the Olympics and I go
to her. You know what's funny. All these athletes have
to stay in this Olympic village. Imagine this Lebron James
and the Steph Curries really brings them down to earth,
(15:49):
you know, they have to be amongst other athletes. And
Jody kind of looks at me a bit and I'm like,
I'm pretty sure what I've just said is completely real,
although why you give me a funny look? And she's like,
I don't think that's true, and I google it. It's
not true at all. The Olympic Village is built and
it can cater for every athlete that needs to come. Yes,
but most of them not a lot of key. He's
(16:09):
a lot of key. He's already just making it over there,
like we basically kayaked over to the Olympics. But your
big mega stars or your countries with a bit of
money behind their athletes, they're in bougie hotels. I thought
it was just a big Olympic village orgy of everyone,
no matter where you came from.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I heard that those big basketball stars are staying in
their own hotels. And if you do that, you have
to organize your own security and meals and transport to
the events. If you stay in the village, it's all
sorted for you. But if you opt to stay by yourself,
you've got to sort it all out. But I had
that Simone Biles has chosen Tuesday in.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
The village fantastic, that she's a woman of the people. Yeah,
I would, no matter how big I got.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
You just want to you can. You can stay in
a hotel anytime you want. I think maybe if you're
a super super superstar, because the other athletes are just
people too, so there'd be an element of celebrity and
wanting autographs and it might interfere with your schedule.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
And basketballers are giant.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah, but every Olympics could be your last Olympics. Just
lap it up, you know, get in there, sleep on
the cardboard bed, eat the chicken nuggets, have the free
McDonald's that we all hear every year that they get
in the Olympic.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
But that's gone. What it's gone.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
The free McDonald's gone.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Yeah, it was the biggest shot for most athletes. They
wanted to be healthy and alternative. So there's another version
of it.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
That's why they do the chicken rap so you can
be help and they do a little bag of pre
sliced apples.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
As we've all learned quite quickly, Paris does a few
things a bit differently like that that opening ceremony well, yeah,
watch you with my kids, and like they're like, what's
this blue man? Is he naked? The Blue Man moment
was real out there, and the fact that had no subtitles.
He just had the creepiest singing voice, and I was like,
what is going on?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I really liked everything about the opening ceremony except the Blue.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Man, the Blue Man.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
The Blue Man was yuck.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Blue Man like tool shot.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
But anyway, so the kids meaners, going, Dad, he's naked, Yeah,
and then I have to explain that no, he's got
a loincloth on. But the fact that it's blue like him, Yes,
I get that it looks like a Penis mellod that
that is not as Penis. I promise you that there
isn't a nude man on the TV.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Also, not to body shame, but I watched the Olympics
for the incredible physiques.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
And then to have this normal deadboard blue man.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
On the screen signed someone well I haven't googled it,
someone messaging from France who knows who the blue guy was.
He could be like the equivalent of Chris Warner.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Yeah, he could be the frigid.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Yeah, watches how do you guys insult Blue Man?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Blue yeah, I know he could be like a religious
icon and I was so sorry for your.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
So this is really the first Olympics for my children
because five and three, so the Tokyo ones though either
not born or whatever. So it's actually you got to
strip Olympics right back to its core for my kids
and explain to them what it is because they don't
understand the concept of Olympic.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
So we watched the ceremony first and so then they
got this warped idea there.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
So that they had way more questions. Yeah, They're like,
so Olympics is music, and so is it Britain Scott Talent? Yeah, yeah,
is this you Zealand idol? What's going on?
Speaker 1 (19:15):
And they were like when I said, no, no, it's swimming
and gymnastics and things like that, rugby and they said, ah,
because that's not So it was really confusing. But then
we've they've been getting up early enough in the morning
to watch some of the New Zealanders swimming. They watched
Lewis Clairebert this morning because we're recording this on a
Monday night, and so they're starting to get it and
(19:36):
I'm trying to explain to them the medal ceremony. And
this is the fun bit of being an adult, of
being a parent is telling your kids that they could
be at the Olympics one day and saying that to
them and going, see this that they're doing. If you
think this is cool, if you work hard enough, you
could do this, and you actually see this little thing
inside their brain go really, and then they have no
(19:57):
reason to doubt you, so they just believe you that, yeah,
they could at the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
See. I may have waited too long, you see, because
you hear these Olympics stories that these kids were into
whatever they're at the Olympics for, they were into it
when they were three two. Is She's a right off mate,
Maggie though, Maggie, you gotta figure out what she's ino.
Do we choose for her dark tape? Skateboarding man seems
like the coolest one.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
So I want to pick the one that is the
easiest for me to support. So skateboarding, I'd have to
hang out a lot of skate parks.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Yeah, possible. You fighting, because you'll give someone like a
you know, your resting bitch face.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Across my roll. But my rollerblading background, I'm comfortable with escape.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
You're definitely getting beaten up.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Yeah, I can posast escape out on my globes.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Guys watch this.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah, what are your kids most obsessed with about the Olympics?
Do they gymnastics? Gymnastics all of.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Them, Miss Morris at the gymnastics, and then anything news
I'm hard doing?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Do they start doing Olympics in the lounge? That's the
coolest thing I think is when the kids start like
in the backyard.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
No, they haven't started recreating, but I'm very much anything
woman's I see where we're watching it. If you've got Sky,
there's just a lot of highlight packages once you're in
the app, so you don't have to be watching the
live channels and it'll be women's wrap up or woman's surfing,
a woman's because we are we're very saturated with men's sport.
We've come a long way in New Zealand, but still
in the whole world, men's sport is in your face.
(21:15):
So they're just like when I put on the skating
the first christ was is this woman? Yeah? I was
like megla, she's fourteen. Yeah, that's like you almost did.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
You see that stat that's doing the rounds that this
is the first Olympics to have fifty to fifty men
and women representation. This is the first time that the women,
the female participation is at fifty percent. Well, no, which
is it's nice that women have finally, you know, picked
up the slack and got their asses, you know, training
and off to the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Like you didn't comment earlier, I'm not going to comment
there because look, I know you're just looking for the clicks. Okay,
I'm not even going to make this into a little
video because I know exactly what you're doing. I know
exactly you know.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
We're being stupid.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
You make me, don't you make me go get my
biggest girl down here to yell at you. Okay, your big,
big big girl, my big, big big kill. Hey JOONI.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Have you were going to the Olympics. What sport would
you be competing in?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Oh shit, I'm such a natural athlete. It's very hard
for me to pick. Look, I have the world record
for the fastest one hundred meters in Jendles. I know,
then regular feet and regular footwear. It slows me up
way too much. Like if you put Usain Bolton Jendles,
I'd beat him over a HUNDI do.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
You think you're faster in jendles than you are in shoes.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
No, that's just a joke, because I say, because I
own a gendleman. But I don't think there'd be that
much difference. I ran so quick I officially timed. I
ran like a thirteen point four over one hundred meters
in flip flops. Okay, that's fast, man, I'm pretty sure
that's as quick as I was at school in regular shoes.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
We've got to get Rika Yoani or something, one of
New Zealand's fastest men.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Well and we would take the record off me.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
No, this is the quiet record that put him in jendles.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
I yell at it, but I don't actually anyone with
any athletic ability who goes out and does this will
beat me instantly.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
So I like to when Green got the world record
for biting the world's loudest apple, I was like, if
this is a classic, pick the record that no one
else wants, that's what you've done.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Yeah, proudly sponsored by Jazz Apples, I think it was
at the time. Shout out jazz Apples, jaz Apples. If
you guys are looking to get into the podcast space,
we could definitely crunch the apples on here.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
But we're looking to break a world record. We're looking
to break a world.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Record javelin javelin. I'd go hard javelin, man, that'd be
my stick. I remember fifth form Jordan. I randomly got
the best in my school at it, which was a
very small rural school, so straight away you got it
accepted two zones, which is all of Whitecotts are competing,
and you get there and straight away some massive islander
boy from another school just throws like sixty meters and
(23:48):
our throws were like twenty eight. The guy judging turns
to us and goes, look, I'm going to put he's
throwing that. If you can't throw it over thirty, you
guys are done. Everyone gets up and throws no one
else for over thirty meters. So it was kind of just.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I like to think that I've got a swimmers physique,
so oh yeah, yeah. But then I put the Olympics
on and I see what a swimmer's physique actually looks
like they're way bigger than I realized. Kids long and lean.
But actually these days the male swimmers, in particular, the
whole king the massive.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
But I see it to my girls, like we're watching
the woman's swimming. I said, if one of those swimmers
walk down here right now, all of your mouths, would
your jaws woul drop to the floor. They are giant
Amazonian women. Like their shoulders are bigger than dad. Their
arms there? What is it? These these muscles, lats just
got wings under their swimmers.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Have you ever met Lisa Carrington? So not swimming, this
is kayaking. Have you met Lisa Carrington? The shoulders on
that woman. She is just an incredible human being.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
But she's a legend. She's a motor, she's an engine.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
She's our most decorated Olympic leader of all time.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Did you know that break dancing is in the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yeah, and no disrespect to our breakdancing listeners. But enough
is enough, Like there's enough sport in the.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I can't be breakdancing again. I can't wait for freestyle wrap.
I'm there. Someone has to drop a word and I
just go straight off the top of the dome. I
may have to grab my phone, go to the bank,
get myself alone. Oh shit, yeah, just I didn't even
plan that. I was reading it off a piece of paper.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Actually, news story this week where Pharrell Williams said that
at the next Olympics he wants music and art to
be included.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Now it gets silly. There you go, let's be controversial.
I don't give a shit breakdancing and no. Sports shouldn't
be there. Music and arts shouldn't be there. It should
still be stripped back to sports. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
The top the top comment on the Parral story was okay,
sweet put one hundred meters sprint in the Grammys, then.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
To che make it fair. I think I think with
the way the world's going though, and they accept these
new sports, that that what is it twenty twenty eight,
it will be in the ex Olympic Games. They could
open it up to like Los ange Yeah, Los Angeles,
and we could get some parenting like sports in there.
Oh yeah, Like we could come up with fastest push mower.
(26:08):
So you're given an area of grass and you have
the fastest people to mow that up and down.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
And like the kayaking slalom, you can have obstacles in there,
ye specific to the terrain. Yeah, like dog dog poo.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Yeah, there you go, dog p you gota pick up
dog pooh. There'll be a kid's toy and you get timed,
it'd be amazing the parents, Olympics or the everyone. This
is a hard one because it takes a lot of time.
But you watch a dad's sleep for eight hours and
then when he wakes up, he has to pick an
item up off the floor, and it's just like ten
beds and ten dads and they've just woken up from
(26:42):
a sleep, but there's something on the floor for them
to pick up, and all their backs are so stiff
and sore, and it's the fastest dad to.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Pick an item and then fully erected down.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
We've talked about it. When you hit thirty, that just
says I'm out. I'm checking out. I know you've got
about sixty more years of life, but I'm done.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Yeah, the back didn't evolve to live as long as
the rest of the male body. The four hundred meters
shoulder ride I think would be pretty good because shoulder
ride with the cat is an endurance sport because you've
always got to go further with the cat on your
shoulders than you anticipate. So it's not a one hundred
meter it's four hundred meter.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
It's one of those it's also one of those cute
but slight fail army moments because the whole time you're
watching it's like so cute but also could end so
so bad, terribly.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Yeah, and every day it's over confident. The mom's like
be careful with them up there, and you're like, oh, I'd.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Never drop this. I'd want to. That's actually got me
into that. I'd love that. I'd love that. Yeah. Up
in just full sprint.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
These are more skill based, but if it's it's about
putting a child to sleep and then leaving the room
without waking that child up. So the first challenge is
to not fall asleep in that room yourself while the
child is falling asleep. But then the trick is to
get out of that room and success for they close
the door without the child without disturbing the child. For
(28:03):
added difficulty, you could have to have one in the
cot like holding the child, and you also have to
remove the hand from the child.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
And for the finals, there's those that toy that your
auntie got that you never wanted and it's on the
floor and if you stand on it, it's going to go.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
There's a furbie in there, yeah, or tickle me Elmo,
and then.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
The other one very time consuming but probably like the longest.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Couch sit longest.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
So just you just blob out and it's to see.
It's kind of like keep your hand on the Lamborghini,
see who wins it. Yeah, and so you started the
whole of the games. It was day one. It could
go a week, it could go two weeks.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Just a bunch of dads on the couch, Just.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
A bunch of dads just yarning. It's just don't hop
off broke or you want to hop off mate, Well yeah,
just dad ban to the dad Banta would be great.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
I think twenty thirty two is in Brisbane, so that
could be our Olympics. That could be the ones we are.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Yeah, well I'm guessing that. Yeah, they won't be evolved
in to accept the parenting ones. At the twenty twenty eight.
They'll accept for Rell, Forharrell will get it, Forrell get
a leg and then they'll be singing. Lady Gaga will
be having a sing off.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
With Katie, start a ground swell movement.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Yeah, and Forrell Williams will get largest hat competition. Yeah.
But hopefully at the Brisbane ones we can have some
parenting based Olympics in there. But I look, I hope
you guys are getting in behind it. I think kids
bloody love it. My kids love it. It's like they're
not coming home to want to watch cartoons now. Nah,
it's a great It's only been on a few days,
but we're just say hey, I just checked the Olympics
(29:31):
on and they now know how to use the app
to go through all the different Olympic highlights and they're
watching stuff.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
And like and to go back to our mate Hamosh.
It's great memory making, you know, like if you get
to see if you get a Danion Loader moment or
a Valerie Adam's moment with those kids, that's they'll remember that.
You know, they'll remember the feeling I remember how it
made them feel. It's a quick break because we've got
some feedback from people that.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
We can go through. It's about your haircut. It's a
good haircut.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
We're back.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Do you not like the haircut?
Speaker 2 (30:02):
No? I do like that, No I do. I honestly
like the haircut.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
I cut my hair.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
You've had You've had your same other hair for so long,
so I like it.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
My wife doesn't like it.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
I've had a haircut. It's short on the sides and
there's very long at the back. I think it's because
the Olympics are on, so I'm trying to give myself
like a rugby sevens player.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Yeah, it's a skuck's moulay.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
I like it. It's getting there.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
I did it, and my wife came up the stairs
and I sort of stood there proudly with my haircut.
And as she came up the stairs, she went, oh, no.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
It has grown back a little bit. What's short.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
I like it, mate.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
I said, oh, don't you like it? And she goes,
it'll grow back.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Hey, don't you listen to your big girl. Your words?
Your big girl knows nothing. Okay, your words.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
So here's a message from the Parenting Hangover Instagram, which
now has ten thousand followers.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Ten thousand legend putting them in a hall, mate, I
know a lot of people. That's the thing you got
to do. Apparently, if if you have followers on any account,
picture them in a hall. H two thousand, that's bloody
half a stadium.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
This is from Caroline.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Congratulations on starting school, toy. They're so exciting. Now, good bags,
goodie bags. I hate them, but they are expected so
trick with goodie bags is put useful stuff in the end,
I waste your money on the plastic shit part of
the language.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
But it is so.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
If you have to give people stuff to take home,
make it useful.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
It's not bad advice. But what is a useful thing
you can put in a goodie bag that a five
year old is going to enjoy? Because my two we
came home from a fifth birthday party on the weekend.
Great birthday party. Nice goodie bag too. Still think they're unnecessary,
but it was nice. She got one of those sticky
hand things you know, yeah, fly killers, which they only
they're only good for about three days and then they
(31:51):
get covered in carpet fluff and they don't stick anymore. Yeah,
she loves it. Whereas if they had put like a
juicer in there or something you like, what could you
put in there that would be useful?
Speaker 2 (32:02):
And I don't get what she means by useful hair
ties the pantheron anti chaf cream like, I'm not sure
what she mean, like ex mac cream like things that
little vitamin sea gummies.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Let's go to a message from Dana.
Speaker 5 (32:21):
Hi, guys, I just want to say that I love
listening to the podcast every week, and I've been looking
forward to this week's episode after a break over the
school holidays. I'm fairly new to podcasts listen to Morgan
Penn's podcast or six dot Life before this one, and
this is the only other one that has really peaked
any interest. Vivid childhood memory for me, for my brother
(32:42):
and sister as well, but maybe not so much my
dad is that he used to put us three kids
into a wheelbarrow and walk us to my granddad's house.
And back then, when I was younger, I used to
think my granddad's house was ages away, and I don't
know how Dad managed to wheelbarrow the whole way. He
never stopped, He just carried that wheelbarrow. Now I'm older,
(33:05):
I realized it wasn't really that far, but man, it
was fun.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
We loved it.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
So yeah, that's my story.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
I'm a big wheelbarrow transportation of kids fan. When we
lived up in Auckland, we lived in an area where
the beach was kind of down the end of the road,
and when they were like your kids ages, you would
chuck the two kids in with the umbrella and the
boogie boards and I would just walk down. You get
some looks, but I would just walk down with the wheelbarrow.
You've got everything. Because we all know those beach trolleys
(33:33):
that have the photo that they look like they can
be pulled over sand. They don't get pulled out. They
don't pull over sand. The wheels turn into slaves. I've
owned two of them. Now the wheels just turn into
like plows and just plow the sand. And yeah, wheelbarrow
for the winds. That's actually a next new awesome business idea.
(33:53):
I think if you modify a wheelbarrow to be a
bit more welcoming for kids, that's the new off road advent.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Two wheels on the front, I think.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Yeah, and painted like some past our cool colors or something.
You'll got into a business anyway.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
I like the idea of that message from Dana, which
is back to what we were talking about last week
and this week, where those little rituals that your parents
do are the things that stick with you. That's your childhood,
right Like for your dad there was just an easy,
kind of fun way to get you down the road.
But for you, it's a cool memory of dad taking
you in the wheelbarrow.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Was mine was sorting catfish out of a bin of eels.
That's a cool memory. My dad was an ill fisherman
and you'd be out on the boat and you didn't
want to be there, and he could tell you aboard,
so he'd tip the next net that he's just pulled
in into this big bin in the boat and then
he'd go, oh, you could get the catfish then, boy,
And you were petrified. And the catfish have spikes that
if they get under your thumb, you've got like a
(34:45):
pussy thumb for the next week. And you're just there
like this eight year old.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Like, oh, nineties parenting was different, eh.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
And that's that's a cool memory. It's not a cool memory.
I look like negatively back at I'm just like that
was a thing. Yeah, that was a thing that happened.
It's not a cheering This was a wheelbarrow memory. He
was much more Cheeriush.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
This is from Linda, who do you remember how we
asked if this podcast is useful? Do you remember when
we attempted a bit of a self are we good?
Speaker 2 (35:12):
And no one's self sourced all over us?
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Here's Linda.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Come on, Linda, Hi.
Speaker 6 (35:16):
Guys, this is Linda from Albourne, Australia, and I just
thought I give you some feedback on your podcast that
you asked for. Well, I haven't actually learnt anything from
you guys as to teenagers now, and they've gone through
all the stages that your kids have already been through.
It's certainly been awesome to know that you guys making
it up as you go was the same as what
we did making it up as we went along, and
(35:37):
I had the same sort of fails and successes along
the way. So I suppose it's just good to validate
that when parents make things up as they go along,
it usually works out for the best and kids turn
out pretty well anyway. To keep up what you do,
and I love.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
It, and thanks very much.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
We're all making it up as we go along.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
It It was kind of an anti self source. She
made out like her words, her voice was so kind,
and then she didn't really self source us at all
at all.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
I love the b where she goes. Just some feedback
for you on your podcast that you asked for.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
I'd like to think there's been moments where we've said
we've had some kind of epiphany between each other and
we've hit the nail on the head and you've gone,
holy shit, They've got that right. That wasn't something that
I did. That's really I bet you that's happened to
Kaylinder because we are amazing. Clint, You're amazing. I'm amazing.
Let's after this, We'll stop the podcast and you and
(36:30):
me will kick the laptop open. We're going to self
source to each other.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
You're self sourcell over me.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
I'm gonna sell. Yeah, it's late, it's late, and my
big girls upstairs waiting for me. But I want.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Discostin the last message, because remember how we tried to
solve snoring. We spent half a podcast trying to solve
male snoring on the podcast, which is a service that
we provide for moms, by the way, trying to solve
your partner's medical problems.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
And outside of the podcast, I have been I've sent
you a couple of links or people I've seen in
comments and you may not have seen it. And I
was like this, bro, and you're like, try it. Did
you get it?
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Not yet someone else has sent a link to it
as well. My issue is I already wear a retainer
at night for my own VISI line, so I'm just
trying to figure out if I can double retainer if
I can weekend snoring retainer and an visi line retainer, I.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Think so one hundred percent, because you're just low ones,
quite clipped on, tight mouthguards, of teeth coming all different things.
You left to heat it like you did with Rugby,
in a mug of hot water, and then mold it
to your teeth. It'll be sweet.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Imagine if the man that you used to be attracted
to had to put in two different retainers just to
be able to go to sleep. That's what I'm always
worried about. I'm like, every day I'm incrementally less attractive
to my wife.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
And every day share one hundred percent knows when you
think that something might happen because you haven't put your
retainer in your mouthguard.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
And yet shut up, do not, do not reveal my feet.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
It's like it's ten thirty and you'll in beit next
to me and you haven't put your things in your mouth.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
He has showered before bed, and he doesn't have his
retainers in. Somebody thinks something's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
Better turnover, and his cold foot just accidentally touched my
cold foot. Searchingly, the cold foot tap gets any woman
going any skin contact by the excident of skin contact
is the funniest.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Anyway, do you mind that?
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Sorry, my hand brush your back.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
Sorry, I didn't mean to do that, unless you mean
me to mean to do that. Yeah, anyway, are we
tried to solve snoring and Emma has sent us this message.
She said, I was about to murder my husband until
we figured out that by not eating dairy, he doesn't
snore anymore. He had tried everything before that except cutting
(38:49):
out dairy.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
That makes no scientifical sense in my sciencey Braine, Dairy
is that inflammation and he's had less inflammation of the
bitter skin that's vibrating in the back of your throat.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
Or mucus or something.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
I said.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
I said to her, no way, dairy did that, and
she said yes. So if he sneakily has a bit
of cheese or milk, I know, because he snores.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
That's so weird. Google that after this and see if
it's a thing that's whack.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
Anyway, that's an excellent round of feedback.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Oh, it's snoring Olympics. You could get in the storing Olympic.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Get in the snoring Olymps. I get in the sleeping Olympics.
I'm a very good sleeper.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
First to snore and then loudest, So there'd be two competitions,
first to get to sleep and the snare begin, yeah
and fastest. Know a fake snore, there'd be like a
light detected the she and then loudest decibel snare.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
I wouldn't wint, disabel.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Oh, you a cute little one. Like sometimes my big
girl who's waiting upstairs right sometimes I'll go to bed
and if she's had a really she's not a snorer,
but if she's had a really really big few days
once a month, there'll just be some quite heavy breathing
that is the starting of a snore.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
So look, I don't know, I never hear it, but
I think I'm just a little bit snorty.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
And so you are you a little tough? Are you
a cute little lady snare? There's no issue.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
I think I'm a little coney cooie peg man.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
We're really we're getting too into each other this episode,
so we better leave it there, guys, because.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
Can we have some more voice messages for our next podcast?
Those were so much fun? Can you send us your
family Olympic moments? What you and your family do to
celebrate the Olympics because for our next podcast will still
be deep in Olympic.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
Further, if you're from France, can you tell us who?
I sorry? Really? If you're from France, can you please
tell us who was a blue man? I'm blue blue
man suckler? Who who was he blue man? And why
was he there? I have now done. I am from
your ganda real quick?
Speaker 1 (40:48):
And what sports do you think should be included in
the pair and Olympics? You can voice memoirs on Instagram.
That will be the best way for us to get
your voice find our podcast.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
You have not fixed your snoring. I've not seen my
sperm pipe to my penis. That's where we're at right now.
That's an update for you times. No, I haven't been
visctimized yet.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
But we'll get there. We'll get there. I'll come and
do it all right.
Speaker 2 (41:10):

Hey guys, before we get into this week's episode, I
just wanted to give you a quick reminder of how
you can support this podcast to make sure that it
keeps existing.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
How do podcasts live and survive in this world? Well,
we've got to show advertisers, right who want to spend
a bit of coin by getting us to do sponsored stuff.
We've got to show them that we're growing and that
people actually listen to us. So the main metrics that
we have to do that is by you, guys, following
our social media or making sure that you are following
or subscribing to whatever platform you are listening to us on.
(00:32):
We then have metrics and stats and we can go, hey,
they're fancy advertising brand person, look at these amazing figures.
So it might seem like a ball lake excuse the
pun from Clint a few weeks ago, but it means
a lot to us. If you can just go click
that follow that subscribe, it'll only take here ten seconds
and you come back and enjoy the lulls.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Plus, if you're a brand who would like to get
on board with the parenting hang of a podcast, we'd
love to have you and we'd love to work with you.
To talk about your product that are right for parents.
You can email us if you'd like to be involved
The Parenting Hangover at gmail dot com. Thanks guys, Hello everybody,

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Special. We have some mon biles. We've got Steph Curry,
We've got Michael Phelps. We've even wheeled out the guy

He's here. We've got all the guests. We've also like
scheduling weird enough, they'll make it. There's a bit of
(01:36):
stuff with the schedule, so we might just talk about
how the Olympics is inspiring our kids. Are they getting
into it or not? You know, are we getting into it?
Does it take us down memory road? Thing? Shit, we
could have been there. It's a it's a.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Real teaching opportunity the Olympics, if you use it right,
it's a memory making opportunity. And we're all about it.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
And we try to get the answers about that little
blue man from the opening ceremony. That's all today on
the Parenting Hangover.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
How was the blue Man? The world is asking that question,
the freaking blue Man. Thanks for Celende on you can
keep the blue.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Man, Celena. It's such a beautiful up there, and then
we cut to get everyone wants the podcast, It's just
start straight into it, mate. How's the kids?
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Very good, full week of school down, very happy school girl.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Very happy school girl, like brimming. They did like a
they did a Matariki thing last Friday. I was like, guys,
Maiki was like a month ago, but they're just doing
it now. And they take us into the classroom to
they do like a dawn thing like sunrise and just
in case you don't know what donner.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Is, yeah, thank you for those who don't know what.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Dinners, it's when the sun comes up. And then they
take us into the we have a hot chocolate and
a sausage for breakfast, and then.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
They very very traditional Marti meal exactly. Matariki is celebration
of the Marty New Year, and they were known that
back in the early eighteen hundred's, a hot chocolate and
a sausage went down a real tree.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
The sausage cooked above ground on the traditional Maori LPG
gas bottle.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Barbecue a Weber Webber, yeah, which is Mardi company.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah, that's mar toranger maori one oh one, I believe, yeah, yeah.
And then we went to the school and they're like,
come and visit the kids classroom so they can show
you what they've been learning about matariki and all their
artwork and stuff. It's only been there for five days.
And the teacher was like, whom she did that picture
over there, She's in that one. And then there's another
(03:40):
kid who wears the same hoodie as her, who bears
a striking resemblance to her, And I'm like, oh, she's
in this picture over here, and they're like, no, no, no,
that's the other girl. I'm like, ah, is this herb No, no,
that's the other girl as well.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Oh okay, see I've not had this this middle of
the year started, which is so common for so many people.
But my weird family, me and my three has included
we all are born at the top of the year,
and in New Zealand that's your school year. Your school
year starts at the top of the year. I know
other countries it's a weird middle of the year thing,
but we are like February and all my kids are
born banged there, so they kind of started school brand new,
(04:14):
fresh year. How's it going? So yeah, how hard would
it be as a little kid walking into a school
and not everyone's new, Like everyone's like, yo, this is
my table, but it's been my table for a month.
You've got to come here and try and say to me.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
You little I think the class that she's in as
a whole class of year zeros though, so she's not
year one, she's year zero because the count she'll just
be at school for six months.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Okay, she'll just be like, they'll teach you how to
roll a cigarette, bit of aping, it's just a it's
a right off year, forget about it. She learns how
to make homebrew beer and a bathtub it's just classic
Kiwi stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I think everyone in that class is a year zero
and maybe they didn't like establish the class until like
mid term two. You know, yeah, everyone who's going to
have to repeat. So yeah, but she's into it and flying.
So two is great. And Maggie, my three and a
half year old two he got invited to a birthday
party on the weekend that Meggie didn't get invited to.
(05:10):
It was the first birthday party where only one of
them was invited because it was a five year old's
party and you don't want some stinky three and a
half year old. They're killing your buzz When.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
You're a man five year old getting smashed off a
few KGB's, it's like, come on, it's four KGB's, not two.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
And so Mey and Maggie went out and had a
solo dad daughter day, which I realized me and two
used to do all the time and have done all
the time while Meggie has been a baby, but me
and Meg have never done it. So it was really nice.
And we just went to a cafe and had a
fluffy and then looked at some shops and went to
the playground. And she said to me at the end
of the day, I said, was that fun? She goes, yeah, Daddy,
(05:46):
I had a really fun day with just you, and
I would like to do it again.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I was like, oh, such a win. And it's this.
It's when we had Hamish on yes Australian salib hamish.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
And it was Dad horracle hamish.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, he was giving this, giving us this advice, and
you've just reminded me about it. Life gets so busy.
This is just me coming up with excuses. But have
I gone and planned an awesome, deady daughter things. So
that I said so pasiently in that podcast that I
need to do them. I've done none. Maybe there's been
like a one off trip like out but jumping the car,
good to cookie, go to Bunnings and pick up this.
(06:22):
Yeah yeah yeah, but that's it, like jumping my ute.
We're going down the road to get some car parts.
But there's been no planned.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
But like we talked, but like we talked about last
week and this idea of little things being big things
to kids, Like just going to a cafe in the
playground was a big thing for her, so long as you,
I think you make it a thing.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Half she's straight. Half it was bloody huge. Try that
with a nine year old. They're like, Dad, we've done
the whole fluffy thing. Mate, I'm too big for this
baby playground. I'm like, no, you're not. You're still a
little girl in my eyes.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I listened to the podcast, Dad, you're meant to be
taking me to a hotel for the night.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
How my kids are? We're a mixed bag. Since we've
seen each other. So we had netball, So I think
I've explained. Saturdays are very busy for our family. Three
girls all with netball, all at kind of different times
throughout the day, and I think, again, it's just me
calling myself out on stuff that I'll claim on this
podcast and then not actually make happen. I'm going to
(07:19):
get out there and I'm going to do all this
extra curricular coaching with the kids and do this. I've
maybe done it twice. And so I watched their game
on the weekend and just realized they need a little
bit to work on and we could help help push
them along a bit. So Sunday took Meela and Alba
to the local primary school and we did netball drills
and stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Have been running a knitball boot camp.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
I'll be running a netball boot camp that I charge them.
They have to pay, and I want them to get
their friends into a pyramid scheme. I want all the
kids on the school coming.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
What are your kitball credentials? A coach can teach you
bad habits.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah, my older sister played representative netball, okay, and so
I was from the age of five to the age
of probably twelve, A lot of my saturdays outside and
Sundays outside of rugby was you then were traps to
I think it was in ted Upper in Hamilton, and
it's just your classic in New Zealand. Picture a million
(08:17):
outdoor basketball courts and a million and a million whistles
and a million games of netble going on, and you're
just a care to us to come watch your sister.
It's just boo, that's a whistle, by the way, it's terrible,
and you're just hoping that mum and dad get you
a hot chips. But I watched a lot of nepple.
I've been around netble, my heart. I'm not just someone
who knows nothing. And like the dad fraternity that's on
(08:37):
the sideline at any netble game, we all start bitching
and like we should coach next year. I think I
should be coaching, and I say this every year, but no,
I know enough and from watching the other coaches do stuff.
So we're working on our passing, working on where you
need to be and like they're at the age where
I can get away with teaching them some stuff as
(08:59):
they get to twelve, thirteen, fourteen, probably not, but right now,
like Albert, it's her first year. She's nine, but it's
a complete first year, so she's not like a five
year old starting, so she has to get up to
speed quite quickly. So it's just help being figure out
where she needs to be. How when you're marking a nitbule,
that's your person, you stick to them like glue you
want to be riding. I'm teaching them things like I
want you to get comfortable being uncomfortable because I said
(09:21):
to Line I know, I said to Lerida, who are
the best players you've come across? Is that the ones
that really annoy you and are right on you and
just get under your skin? And she goes yes, and
I go, so, why on weekends aren't you glued to
your person? She's like, I don't like that. It's real awkward.
Like that's it. You need to be comfortable that. That's
taking your knipbule to the next step is being able
to get into their comfort zone because that's how you
(09:42):
are a good defender. There'll be mums rolling their eyes,
but this is dad coaching here and this is the
advice that I was giving them. But that went really well.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Nitble is such a great sport, and I feel like
with the we've come so far with rugby being for
boys and girls, it'd be great for more boys got
an to knitball as a sport as well. It's good,
it's fast paced, it's also hardcore. People wonight not know
this about knitball. But are there any other sports that
are played on concrete?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah, I'm not sure. Yeah right, nally your street basketball,
but yeah, yeah, true. But I played indoor netball for
a while, like as you do, like your weekday. This
is when you're older, you've left university, your mid twenties,
and someone says, hey, mate, I want to play social
indoor netball. That was hard out, that was good fun.
But the Silver Ferns, the New Zealand national team, our
(10:30):
female team. They for warm ups before big tournaments, play
the New Zealand men's national teable team. Yeah, and the
men's team absolutely wallops them, which is great because it's
a really great lesson for them to they got to
go rough and tumble because these guys are just built bigger. Yeah,
they've all got a few inches on them. I think
it's a great little and it gets some viewership. Man,
(10:50):
it's great to watch.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Real Dick moved from the men's team to thrash the
women's team.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Though, you know, yeah, at the same time, I'm like,
at the same time, you're like oh gosh, but little
Nala Wright couldn't join us because we do you get
the email or the parent message group, the school group.
Saturday morning, it's just alarm bells. Kids are dropping from
our school like flies. Something is going around, and Nala's
in a Nipple gear ready to go and just starts
(11:14):
crying to mom like I don't feel too good. Yeah,
I don't want to go to Nipble. And I'm like,
you're just tired. Come on, you need to go. Your
team needs you. Giving her that kind of speech, you
gotta come, Nala. I know you're a bit tired, but
you got to come to Nible and then just more
of it, and I was like, just go, don't worry
because Jody coaches her team. So Jody had to go
to Nipple without Nla. Jody gets to Nipple realizes there's
(11:35):
only two kids there because everyone is sick Nala. Jody left.
Nala slipped on the couch for four hours, just out
of the blue, and that slowly built up too. She
woke up powerchucked.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Everywhere and for the next skin for the.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Last She's just come right just today.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Have you been giving her the shot of tequila?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Bro No dodn't even think should have. I know that
was for adults, that's right, But for the last hour
she's that, by the way, for yourselves.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah, me and Lucy been doing the tequila shot.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah yeah, but lying to yourself and telling yourself you're
sick all the time, like every week night. That's not good.
It's not healthy. You would have put the kids on
Lucy looking down the couch at each other. I think
I've got the sniffles the tequila. Yeah, buddy, this is
the sickest. I don't want to spend too much time
(12:23):
on this because I feel like it's a theme of
the Bloody podcast. But the secont she's ever been like
your little heart went out to her last night. She
woke up and you could tell what was going on. Yeah,
she had the you know when you ever flu and
your your temperature goes up and down you kind of
get tingly skin. Yeah, like you kind of get the
sweats and you're just uncomfortable temperature wise. She had that,
and she couldn't explain it. And then I was able
(12:45):
to put words in her mouth and kind of figure
it out with her. But and her breathing was real shallow,
like there were some stuff where were really watching her.
She come right though, but a lot of spewing then
spewing where your body's trying to spear. Nothing's there like
she was just but she's such a battler.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
You're on the Lucas aid or the pedia light.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Yeah, just water man. I know we've had that stuff,
but they won't drink it. We've got it in the cupboard.
It's the stuff when you have like diarrhea, yeah, rehydrate.
It's just it's terrible' We shure to go to a
blue power raid pie from the dairy, but that's the kids.
Everyone touchwood. No, we were like, this is going to
sweep the house. Touch Wood. No one else got it.
(13:26):
I was I was expired hand sanitizer from COVID days.
I was trying to went off in twenty twenty one.
I'm wiping down the remote and all the things around
Nahla where she set up on the couch. I do
not want the household getting this. Let's let's jump let's
let's just jump right here. Let's just allie our way
into the next segway of what we're talking about tonight,
Olympics and all things that swept our house I was
(13:48):
a little bit late. We're recording Monday night tonight. I
was a little bit late running down here, me and
the two big girls and Jody. Can I call her
a big girl? Do they take a feint? You can
call your daughter's big girls, but can you call your
wife a big girl? Geez? That Me and my two
big girls and Jody. We're watching the woman's skateboarding Olympic finals.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Oh okay, it.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Wasn't It wasn't live. It was like a twenty two
minute package of just the finals. The ages are thirteen
to nineteen of the eight finalists. My girls are just
like eyes wide open, Holy shit, this is amazing.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
And we thirteen at the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yeah, we're full on Olympic family. We wake up in
the morning, see what's going on. At nighttime, I check
the news to see what new Zealanders are coming up,
and we're all for it. We're watching Simon Biles. They've
just done a highlight package of that American gymnast and
so Narla does gymnastics. And we talked about Narla being
quite nuggetea, quite well put together, just a solid rigger muscle.
We put on the Simon bars and I'm going, no,
(14:46):
that's you, mate, this is going to be you. And
she's watching like whoa, and she's going no, but no,
but I won't have hair like that stuck in the den.
And she's like, and I won't wear that one, but
I will wear one of these that we're one of these.
But she is just insane.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Here's a here's a nuggative fact you can use next
time to impress your two big girls. And Jody. That
outfit that Simon Biles is wearing is encrusted with Wolfski Swavrowsky.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yes, Slavsky.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Is entrusted with crystals. Five thousand dollars. That outfit she's
wearing is worth and she's got eight of them.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I suppose that's the blinging life you get. I googled
earlier in the week, right because you hear about the
Olympic village and Jody. This is I really caught we
both Jody and I caught myself out just talking straight bullshit.
We're on the couch watching the Olympics and I go
to her. You know what's funny. All these athletes have
to stay in this Olympic village. Imagine this Lebron James
and the Steph Curries really brings them down to earth,
(15:49):
you know, they have to be amongst other athletes. And
Jody kind of looks at me a bit and I'm like,
I'm pretty sure what I've just said is completely real,
although why you give me a funny look? And she's like,
I don't think that's true, and I google it. It's
not true at all. The Olympic Village is built and
it can cater for every athlete that needs to come. Yes,
but most of them not a lot of key. He's
(16:09):
a lot of key. He's already just making it over there,
like we basically kayaked over to the Olympics. But your
big mega stars or your countries with a bit of
money behind their athletes, they're in bougie hotels. I thought
it was just a big Olympic village orgy of everyone,
no matter where you came from.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I heard that those big basketball stars are staying in
their own hotels. And if you do that, you have
to organize your own security and meals and transport to
the events. If you stay in the village, it's all
sorted for you. But if you opt to stay by yourself,
you've got to sort it all out. But I had
that Simone Biles has chosen Tuesday in.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
The village fantastic, that she's a woman of the people. Yeah,
I would, no matter how big I got.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
You just want to you can. You can stay in
a hotel anytime you want. I think maybe if you're
a super super superstar, because the other athletes are just
people too, so there'd be an element of celebrity and
wanting autographs and it might interfere with your schedule.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
And basketballers are giant.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah, but every Olympics could be your last Olympics. Just
lap it up, you know, get in there, sleep on
the cardboard bed, eat the chicken nuggets, have the free
McDonald's that we all hear every year that they get
in the Olympic.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
But that's gone. What it's gone.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
The free McDonald's gone.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Yeah, it was the biggest shot for most athletes. They
wanted to be healthy and alternative. So there's another version
of it.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
That's why they do the chicken rap so you can
be help and they do a little bag of pre
sliced apples.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
As we've all learned quite quickly, Paris does a few
things a bit differently like that that opening ceremony well, yeah,
watch you with my kids, and like they're like, what's
this blue man? Is he naked? The Blue Man moment
was real out there, and the fact that had no subtitles.
He just had the creepiest singing voice, and I was like,
what is going on?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I really liked everything about the opening ceremony except the Blue.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Man, the Blue Man.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
The Blue Man was yuck.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Blue Man like tool shot.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
But anyway, so the kids meaners, going, Dad, he's naked, Yeah,
and then I have to explain that no, he's got
a loincloth on. But the fact that it's blue like him, Yes,
I get that it looks like a Penis mellod that
that is not as Penis. I promise you that there
isn't a nude man on the TV.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Also, not to body shame, but I watched the Olympics
for the incredible physiques.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
And then to have this normal deadboard blue man.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
On the screen signed someone well I haven't googled it,
someone messaging from France who knows who the blue guy was.
He could be like the equivalent of Chris Warner.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Yeah, he could be the frigid.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Yeah, watches how do you guys insult Blue Man?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Blue yeah, I know he could be like a religious
icon and I was so sorry for your.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
So this is really the first Olympics for my children
because five and three, so the Tokyo ones though either
not born or whatever. So it's actually you got to
strip Olympics right back to its core for my kids
and explain to them what it is because they don't
understand the concept of Olympic.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
So we watched the ceremony first and so then they
got this warped idea there.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
So that they had way more questions. Yeah, They're like,
so Olympics is music, and so is it Britain Scott Talent? Yeah, yeah,
is this you Zealand idol? What's going on?
Speaker 1 (19:15):
And they were like when I said, no, no, it's swimming
and gymnastics and things like that, rugby and they said, ah,
because that's not So it was really confusing. But then
we've they've been getting up early enough in the morning
to watch some of the New Zealanders swimming. They watched
Lewis Clairebert this morning because we're recording this on a
Monday night, and so they're starting to get it and
(19:36):
I'm trying to explain to them the medal ceremony. And
this is the fun bit of being an adult, of
being a parent is telling your kids that they could
be at the Olympics one day and saying that to
them and going, see this that they're doing. If you
think this is cool, if you work hard enough, you
could do this, and you actually see this little thing
inside their brain go really, and then they have no
(19:57):
reason to doubt you, so they just believe you that, yeah,
they could at the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
See. I may have waited too long, you see, because
you hear these Olympics stories that these kids were into
whatever they're at the Olympics for, they were into it
when they were three two. Is She's a right off mate,
Maggie though, Maggie, you gotta figure out what she's ino.
Do we choose for her dark tape? Skateboarding man seems
like the coolest one.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
So I want to pick the one that is the
easiest for me to support. So skateboarding, I'd have to
hang out a lot of skate parks.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Yeah, possible. You fighting, because you'll give someone like a
you know, your resting bitch face.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Across my roll. But my rollerblading background, I'm comfortable with escape.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
You're definitely getting beaten up.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Yeah, I can posast escape out on my globes.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Guys watch this.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah, what are your kids most obsessed with about the Olympics?
Do they gymnastics? Gymnastics all of.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Them, Miss Morris at the gymnastics, and then anything news
I'm hard doing?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Do they start doing Olympics in the lounge? That's the
coolest thing I think is when the kids start like
in the backyard.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
No, they haven't started recreating, but I'm very much anything
woman's I see where we're watching it. If you've got Sky,
there's just a lot of highlight packages once you're in
the app, so you don't have to be watching the
live channels and it'll be women's wrap up or woman's surfing,
a woman's because we are we're very saturated with men's sport.
We've come a long way in New Zealand, but still
in the whole world, men's sport is in your face.
(21:15):
So they're just like when I put on the skating
the first christ was is this woman? Yeah? I was
like megla, she's fourteen. Yeah, that's like you almost did.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
You see that stat that's doing the rounds that this
is the first Olympics to have fifty to fifty men
and women representation. This is the first time that the women,
the female participation is at fifty percent. Well, no, which
is it's nice that women have finally, you know, picked
up the slack and got their asses, you know, training
and off to the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Like you didn't comment earlier, I'm not going to comment
there because look, I know you're just looking for the clicks. Okay,
I'm not even going to make this into a little
video because I know exactly what you're doing. I know
exactly you know.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
We're being stupid.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
You make me, don't you make me go get my
biggest girl down here to yell at you. Okay, your big,
big big girl, my big, big big kill. Hey JOONI.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Have you were going to the Olympics. What sport would
you be competing in?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Oh shit, I'm such a natural athlete. It's very hard
for me to pick. Look, I have the world record
for the fastest one hundred meters in Jendles. I know,
then regular feet and regular footwear. It slows me up
way too much. Like if you put Usain Bolton Jendles,
I'd beat him over a HUNDI do.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
You think you're faster in jendles than you are in shoes.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
No, that's just a joke, because I say, because I
own a gendleman. But I don't think there'd be that
much difference. I ran so quick I officially timed. I
ran like a thirteen point four over one hundred meters
in flip flops. Okay, that's fast, man, I'm pretty sure
that's as quick as I was at school in regular shoes.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
We've got to get Rika Yoani or something, one of
New Zealand's fastest men.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Well and we would take the record off me.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
No, this is the quiet record that put him in jendles.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
I yell at it, but I don't actually anyone with
any athletic ability who goes out and does this will
beat me instantly.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
So I like to when Green got the world record
for biting the world's loudest apple, I was like, if
this is a classic, pick the record that no one
else wants, that's what you've done.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Yeah, proudly sponsored by Jazz Apples, I think it was
at the time. Shout out jazz Apples, jaz Apples. If
you guys are looking to get into the podcast space,
we could definitely crunch the apples on here.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
But we're looking to break a world record. We're looking
to break a world.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Record javelin javelin. I'd go hard javelin, man, that'd be
my stick. I remember fifth form Jordan. I randomly got
the best in my school at it, which was a
very small rural school, so straight away you got it
accepted two zones, which is all of Whitecotts are competing,
and you get there and straight away some massive islander
boy from another school just throws like sixty meters and
(23:48):
our throws were like twenty eight. The guy judging turns
to us and goes, look, I'm going to put he's
throwing that. If you can't throw it over thirty, you
guys are done. Everyone gets up and throws no one
else for over thirty meters. So it was kind of just.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I like to think that I've got a swimmers physique,
so oh yeah, yeah. But then I put the Olympics
on and I see what a swimmer's physique actually looks
like they're way bigger than I realized. Kids long and lean.
But actually these days the male swimmers, in particular, the
whole king the massive.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
But I see it to my girls, like we're watching
the woman's swimming. I said, if one of those swimmers
walk down here right now, all of your mouths, would
your jaws woul drop to the floor. They are giant
Amazonian women. Like their shoulders are bigger than dad. Their
arms there? What is it? These these muscles, lats just
got wings under their swimmers.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Have you ever met Lisa Carrington? So not swimming, this
is kayaking. Have you met Lisa Carrington? The shoulders on
that woman. She is just an incredible human being.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
But she's a legend. She's a motor, she's an engine.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
She's our most decorated Olympic leader of all time.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Did you know that break dancing is in the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yeah, and no disrespect to our breakdancing listeners. But enough
is enough, Like there's enough sport in the.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I can't be breakdancing again. I can't wait for freestyle wrap.
I'm there. Someone has to drop a word and I
just go straight off the top of the dome. I
may have to grab my phone, go to the bank,
get myself alone. Oh shit, yeah, just I didn't even
plan that. I was reading it off a piece of paper.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Actually, news story this week where Pharrell Williams said that
at the next Olympics he wants music and art to
be included.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Now it gets silly. There you go, let's be controversial.
I don't give a shit breakdancing and no. Sports shouldn't
be there. Music and arts shouldn't be there. It should
still be stripped back to sports. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
The top the top comment on the Parral story was okay,
sweet put one hundred meters sprint in the Grammys, then.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
To che make it fair. I think I think with
the way the world's going though, and they accept these
new sports, that that what is it twenty twenty eight,
it will be in the ex Olympic Games. They could
open it up to like Los ange Yeah, Los Angeles,
and we could get some parenting like sports in there.
Oh yeah, Like we could come up with fastest push mower.
(26:08):
So you're given an area of grass and you have
the fastest people to mow that up and down.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
And like the kayaking slalom, you can have obstacles in there,
ye specific to the terrain. Yeah, like dog dog poo.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Yeah, there you go, dog p you gota pick up
dog pooh. There'll be a kid's toy and you get timed,
it'd be amazing the parents, Olympics or the everyone. This
is a hard one because it takes a lot of time.
But you watch a dad's sleep for eight hours and
then when he wakes up, he has to pick an
item up off the floor, and it's just like ten
beds and ten dads and they've just woken up from
(26:42):
a sleep, but there's something on the floor for them
to pick up, and all their backs are so stiff
and sore, and it's the fastest dad to.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Pick an item and then fully erected down.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
We've talked about it. When you hit thirty, that just
says I'm out. I'm checking out. I know you've got
about sixty more years of life, but I'm done.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Yeah, the back didn't evolve to live as long as
the rest of the male body. The four hundred meters
shoulder ride I think would be pretty good because shoulder
ride with the cat is an endurance sport because you've
always got to go further with the cat on your
shoulders than you anticipate. So it's not a one hundred
meter it's four hundred meter.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
It's one of those it's also one of those cute
but slight fail army moments because the whole time you're
watching it's like so cute but also could end so
so bad, terribly.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Yeah, and every day it's over confident. The mom's like
be careful with them up there, and you're like, oh, I'd.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Never drop this. I'd want to. That's actually got me
into that. I'd love that. I'd love that. Yeah. Up
in just full sprint.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
These are more skill based, but if it's it's about
putting a child to sleep and then leaving the room
without waking that child up. So the first challenge is
to not fall asleep in that room yourself while the
child is falling asleep. But then the trick is to
get out of that room and success for they close
the door without the child without disturbing the child. For
(28:03):
added difficulty, you could have to have one in the
cot like holding the child, and you also have to
remove the hand from the child.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
And for the finals, there's those that toy that your
auntie got that you never wanted and it's on the
floor and if you stand on it, it's going to go.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
There's a furbie in there, yeah, or tickle me Elmo,
and then.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
The other one very time consuming but probably like the longest.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Couch sit longest.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
So just you just blob out and it's to see.
It's kind of like keep your hand on the Lamborghini,
see who wins it. Yeah, and so you started the
whole of the games. It was day one. It could
go a week, it could go two weeks.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Just a bunch of dads on the couch, Just.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
A bunch of dads just yarning. It's just don't hop
off broke or you want to hop off mate, Well yeah,
just dad ban to the dad Banta would be great.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
I think twenty thirty two is in Brisbane, so that
could be our Olympics. That could be the ones we are.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Yeah, well I'm guessing that. Yeah, they won't be evolved
in to accept the parenting ones. At the twenty twenty eight.
They'll accept for Rell, Forharrell will get it, Forrell get
a leg and then they'll be singing. Lady Gaga will
be having a sing off.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
With Katie, start a ground swell movement.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Yeah, and Forrell Williams will get largest hat competition. Yeah.
But hopefully at the Brisbane ones we can have some
parenting based Olympics in there. But I look, I hope
you guys are getting in behind it. I think kids
bloody love it. My kids love it. It's like they're
not coming home to want to watch cartoons now. Nah,
it's a great It's only been on a few days,
but we're just say hey, I just checked the Olympics
(29:31):
on and they now know how to use the app
to go through all the different Olympic highlights and they're
watching stuff.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
And like and to go back to our mate Hamosh.
It's great memory making, you know, like if you get
to see if you get a Danion Loader moment or
a Valerie Adam's moment with those kids, that's they'll remember that.
You know, they'll remember the feeling I remember how it
made them feel. It's a quick break because we've got
some feedback from people that.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
We can go through. It's about your haircut. It's a
good haircut.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
We're back.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Do you not like the haircut?
Speaker 2 (30:02):
No? I do like that, No I do. I honestly
like the haircut.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
I cut my hair.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
You've had You've had your same other hair for so long,
so I like it.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
My wife doesn't like it.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
I've had a haircut. It's short on the sides and
there's very long at the back. I think it's because
the Olympics are on, so I'm trying to give myself
like a rugby sevens player.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Yeah, it's a skuck's moulay.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
I like it. It's getting there.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
I did it, and my wife came up the stairs
and I sort of stood there proudly with my haircut.
And as she came up the stairs, she went, oh, no.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
It has grown back a little bit. What's short.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
I like it, mate.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
I said, oh, don't you like it? And she goes,
it'll grow back.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Hey, don't you listen to your big girl. Your words?
Your big girl knows nothing. Okay, your words.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
So here's a message from the Parenting Hangover Instagram, which
now has ten thousand followers.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Ten thousand legend putting them in a hall, mate, I
know a lot of people. That's the thing you got
to do. Apparently, if if you have followers on any account,
picture them in a hall. H two thousand, that's bloody
half a stadium.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
This is from Caroline.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Congratulations on starting school, toy. They're so exciting. Now, good bags,
goodie bags. I hate them, but they are expected so
trick with goodie bags is put useful stuff in the end,
I waste your money on the plastic shit part of
the language.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
But it is so.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
If you have to give people stuff to take home,
make it useful.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
It's not bad advice. But what is a useful thing
you can put in a goodie bag that a five
year old is going to enjoy? Because my two we
came home from a fifth birthday party on the weekend.
Great birthday party. Nice goodie bag too. Still think they're unnecessary,
but it was nice. She got one of those sticky
hand things you know, yeah, fly killers, which they only
they're only good for about three days and then they
(31:51):
get covered in carpet fluff and they don't stick anymore. Yeah,
she loves it. Whereas if they had put like a
juicer in there or something you like, what could you
put in there that would be useful?
Speaker 2 (32:02):
And I don't get what she means by useful hair
ties the pantheron anti chaf cream like, I'm not sure
what she mean, like ex mac cream like things that
little vitamin sea gummies.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Let's go to a message from Dana.
Speaker 5 (32:21):
Hi, guys, I just want to say that I love
listening to the podcast every week, and I've been looking
forward to this week's episode after a break over the
school holidays. I'm fairly new to podcasts listen to Morgan
Penn's podcast or six dot Life before this one, and
this is the only other one that has really peaked
any interest. Vivid childhood memory for me, for my brother
(32:42):
and sister as well, but maybe not so much my
dad is that he used to put us three kids
into a wheelbarrow and walk us to my granddad's house.
And back then, when I was younger, I used to
think my granddad's house was ages away, and I don't
know how Dad managed to wheelbarrow the whole way. He
never stopped, He just carried that wheelbarrow. Now I'm older,
(33:05):
I realized it wasn't really that far, but man, it
was fun.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
We loved it.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
So yeah, that's my story.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
I'm a big wheelbarrow transportation of kids fan. When we
lived up in Auckland, we lived in an area where
the beach was kind of down the end of the road,
and when they were like your kids ages, you would
chuck the two kids in with the umbrella and the
boogie boards and I would just walk down. You get
some looks, but I would just walk down with the wheelbarrow.
You've got everything. Because we all know those beach trolleys
(33:33):
that have the photo that they look like they can
be pulled over sand. They don't get pulled out. They
don't pull over sand. The wheels turn into slaves. I've
owned two of them. Now the wheels just turn into
like plows and just plow the sand. And yeah, wheelbarrow
for the winds. That's actually a next new awesome business idea.
(33:53):
I think if you modify a wheelbarrow to be a
bit more welcoming for kids, that's the new off road advent.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Two wheels on the front, I think.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Yeah, and painted like some past our cool colors or something.
You'll got into a business anyway.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
I like the idea of that message from Dana, which
is back to what we were talking about last week
and this week, where those little rituals that your parents
do are the things that stick with you. That's your childhood,
right Like for your dad there was just an easy,
kind of fun way to get you down the road.
But for you, it's a cool memory of dad taking
you in the wheelbarrow.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Was mine was sorting catfish out of a bin of eels.
That's a cool memory. My dad was an ill fisherman
and you'd be out on the boat and you didn't
want to be there, and he could tell you aboard,
so he'd tip the next net that he's just pulled
in into this big bin in the boat and then
he'd go, oh, you could get the catfish then, boy,
And you were petrified. And the catfish have spikes that
if they get under your thumb, you've got like a
(34:45):
pussy thumb for the next week. And you're just there
like this eight year old.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Like, oh, nineties parenting was different, eh.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
And that's that's a cool memory. It's not a cool memory.
I look like negatively back at I'm just like that
was a thing. Yeah, that was a thing that happened.
It's not a cheering This was a wheelbarrow memory. He
was much more Cheeriush.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
This is from Linda, who do you remember how we
asked if this podcast is useful? Do you remember when
we attempted a bit of a self are we good?
Speaker 2 (35:12):
And no one's self sourced all over us?
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Here's Linda.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Come on, Linda, Hi.
Speaker 6 (35:16):
Guys, this is Linda from Albourne, Australia, and I just
thought I give you some feedback on your podcast that
you asked for. Well, I haven't actually learnt anything from
you guys as to teenagers now, and they've gone through
all the stages that your kids have already been through.
It's certainly been awesome to know that you guys making
it up as you go was the same as what
we did making it up as we went along, and
(35:37):
I had the same sort of fails and successes along
the way. So I suppose it's just good to validate
that when parents make things up as they go along,
it usually works out for the best and kids turn
out pretty well anyway. To keep up what you do,
and I love.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
It, and thanks very much.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
We're all making it up as we go along.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
It It was kind of an anti self source. She
made out like her words, her voice was so kind,
and then she didn't really self source us at all
at all.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
I love the b where she goes. Just some feedback
for you on your podcast that you asked for.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
I'd like to think there's been moments where we've said
we've had some kind of epiphany between each other and
we've hit the nail on the head and you've gone,
holy shit, They've got that right. That wasn't something that
I did. That's really I bet you that's happened to
Kaylinder because we are amazing. Clint, You're amazing. I'm amazing.
Let's after this, We'll stop the podcast and you and
(36:30):
me will kick the laptop open. We're going to self
source to each other.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
You're self sourcell over me.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
I'm gonna sell. Yeah, it's late, it's late, and my
big girls upstairs waiting for me. But I want.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Discostin the last message, because remember how we tried to
solve snoring. We spent half a podcast trying to solve
male snoring on the podcast, which is a service that
we provide for moms, by the way, trying to solve
your partner's medical problems.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
And outside of the podcast, I have been I've sent
you a couple of links or people I've seen in
comments and you may not have seen it. And I
was like this, bro, and you're like, try it. Did
you get it?
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Not yet someone else has sent a link to it
as well. My issue is I already wear a retainer
at night for my own VISI line, so I'm just
trying to figure out if I can double retainer if
I can weekend snoring retainer and an visi line retainer, I.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Think so one hundred percent, because you're just low ones,
quite clipped on, tight mouthguards, of teeth coming all different things.
You left to heat it like you did with Rugby,
in a mug of hot water, and then mold it
to your teeth. It'll be sweet.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Imagine if the man that you used to be attracted
to had to put in two different retainers just to
be able to go to sleep. That's what I'm always
worried about. I'm like, every day I'm incrementally less attractive
to my wife.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
And every day share one hundred percent knows when you
think that something might happen because you haven't put your
retainer in your mouthguard.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
And yet shut up, do not, do not reveal my feet.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
It's like it's ten thirty and you'll in beit next
to me and you haven't put your things in your mouth.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
He has showered before bed, and he doesn't have his
retainers in. Somebody thinks something's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
Better turnover, and his cold foot just accidentally touched my
cold foot. Searchingly, the cold foot tap gets any woman
going any skin contact by the excident of skin contact
is the funniest.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Anyway, do you mind that?
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Sorry, my hand brush your back.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
Sorry, I didn't mean to do that, unless you mean
me to mean to do that. Yeah, anyway, are we
tried to solve snoring and Emma has sent us this message.
She said, I was about to murder my husband until
we figured out that by not eating dairy, he doesn't
snore anymore. He had tried everything before that except cutting
(38:49):
out dairy.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
That makes no scientifical sense in my sciencey Braine, Dairy
is that inflammation and he's had less inflammation of the
bitter skin that's vibrating in the back of your throat.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
Or mucus or something.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
I said.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
I said to her, no way, dairy did that, and
she said yes. So if he sneakily has a bit
of cheese or milk, I know, because he snores.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
That's so weird. Google that after this and see if
it's a thing that's whack.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
Anyway, that's an excellent round of feedback.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Oh, it's snoring Olympics. You could get in the storing Olympic.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Get in the snoring Olymps. I get in the sleeping Olympics.
I'm a very good sleeper.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
First to snore and then loudest, So there'd be two competitions,
first to get to sleep and the snare begin, yeah
and fastest. Know a fake snore, there'd be like a
light detected the she and then loudest decibel snare.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
I wouldn't wint, disabel.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Oh, you a cute little one. Like sometimes my big
girl who's waiting upstairs right sometimes I'll go to bed
and if she's had a really she's not a snorer,
but if she's had a really really big few days
once a month, there'll just be some quite heavy breathing
that is the starting of a snore.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
So look, I don't know, I never hear it, but
I think I'm just a little bit snorty.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
And so you are you a little tough? Are you
a cute little lady snare? There's no issue.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
I think I'm a little coney cooie peg man.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
We're really we're getting too into each other this episode,
so we better leave it there, guys, because.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
Can we have some more voice messages for our next podcast?
Those were so much fun? Can you send us your
family Olympic moments? What you and your family do to
celebrate the Olympics because for our next podcast will still
be deep in Olympic.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
Further, if you're from France, can you tell us who?
I sorry? Really? If you're from France, can you please
tell us who was a blue man? I'm blue blue
man suckler? Who who was he blue man? And why
was he there? I have now done. I am from
your ganda real quick?
Speaker 1 (40:48):
And what sports do you think should be included in
the pair and Olympics? You can voice memoirs on Instagram.
That will be the best way for us to get
your voice find our podcast.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
You have not fixed your snoring. I've not seen my
sperm pipe to my penis. That's where we're at right now.
That's an update for you times. No, I haven't been
visctimized yet.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
But we'll get there. We'll get there. I'll come and
do it all right.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Okay, let's get self source each other, all right? See
