Speaker 2 (00:23):
Welcome back to another episode about my Bad Mum podcast.
I feel like I can finally breathe. It's been like
the lead up to birthday in our house.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
It's your happy birthday.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Well, I like to say to you happy birthing day.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Yeah, because that's what you were doing. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Yeah, it was a few years back now, but like
that's what you were doing on this day.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Vajina feeling today much more intact.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I had a sea six.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Oh that's right, shit, you're inside or intact? Okay, well
that's all right.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I was literally probably too much information, but people are
used to it on this podcast, but I was genuinely
just sitting in the car and I had that moment
where I was like, fuck it, I'm just going to
go in with nobran.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
I'm just going to record the podcast and Katie won't care. Now.
I have that moment of going people.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Don't come onto this podcast to watch my boobs flop
around because I forget about the cameras.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
I was like just in there. I was like, oh gosh,
my sports bar. I was all drenched. I was like,
I'm just gonna take it off.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Some people really make an effort for their podcast. Yeah, yeah,
am I bad mum for making their birthday about me.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
As standard? Well, well, I have to give accolades.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Where accolades are you. They wouldn't be here if you
didn't do the job. You didn't do the work. You
did the work.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Yeah, I feel like every birthday like today was a
great example. So the girl's birthday today, they have turned seventeen, crazy,
and I feel like there comes to a point every
birthday where Jay and I high five each other and go,
well done.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
You should. We did it.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
You should because we have obviously one birthday for both
the kids. So there was something that was stressing me
out in the lead up to the birthday, and that
was that we booked Holly's driving test for this morning
on the birthday.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah, on the actual birthday day.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I said to a friend the other day, I was like,
oh shit, like I really didn't think this through because
there's going to be a horrible birthday. She failed, and
fifty percent of people failed their driving test. I failed
first time round? Did you?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
I didn't?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
You should have.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
No, I'm a fucking great driver, just asked me. I'm
not confident, just asked me.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
I was like, there's a lot of life and I
might not be confident about but I know that I'm
a fucking great driver.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I can nail that shit and just ask me, just
ask me, I'll do it. So yeah, birthty percent. She's
come out on top fifty to fifty.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
It's like a rushing her away.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
She's and rage. She drove this morning, so had like
a warm up with Jay, took her. They went early
so that she could drive around practice first. It's the
worst driving she's ever done this morning.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Yeah, she's just getting it all out of her system
before she had to do the practice run, that's all. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
So anyway, she passed, amazing, so excited I could have
hugged that hug because I was just so like relieved.
I didn't know how it was. It genuinely didn't know,
like she's done all the hours and whatever. But there
are definitely times where I go, fuck you definitely would
have failed then an instant failed.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah, anyway, she passed. That's really good news. And then
this is where I made it about me rage because
then off they go to take the two of them
like a couple of old ladies, and then they go,
oh my god, and I've gone Okay, yeah, I can
pick you up today. I'll see you at three. And
they looked at me and you don't need to pick
us up. I was like, oh shit, yeah, I don't
(04:18):
need to pick you up. Like what a great feeling.
I mean still at the same tis about you know,
you're sending your two kids off in a car on
their own, Like there's still that, you know, it doesn't
matter how old they are, there's still your little baby.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I then thought, so we're going for dinner tonight. So
every year on their birthday we get for a family dinner. Yeah,
And I was like, okay, great, So we booked dinner
and usually, well always one of us will drive. It's
never a situation where we get an uber normally because
it's just kids' birthday. It's not like we're going out
with friends all night. And I spoke to Jay and
(04:55):
I was like, looking forward to dinner now, like it
felt like such a sigh of relief. Pasta test birthday
presence went down. Well, Sunshining was like, it's Friday dinner tonight,
and I'm looking forward to it now because it could
have been. It could have been a horrible, depressing dinner
if Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Oh, it would have been a long knop. It would
have been a long one with very long faces.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
And then Jay said to me, Yes, it's great, isn't it.
We can have a few drinks, Holly aol drive. I
was like, yes, this is the payoff.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Best, this is it, this is where it starts. Yeah,
this is.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
We're going out for dinner tonight, right for the first
time ever. Yeah, and well, have a couple of drinks
and we're then going to sit in the back.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah. And the drive so exciting.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Can we just tell the listeners though, what you did
tell me outside, because I sort of I fucked it
up a little bit because I thought you were telling
me one thing and then you were like, then you
were actually telling me another thing. But tell everyone when
you did say oh okay bye, Yeah, what did you
do in the steps after that?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I said to you, Yeah, I followed the car.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I followed the car.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I knew it. Yeah, I said, I followed the car,
so I knew it was safe and knew when what
the fuck you followed? You followed the examiner? You followed
the I thought you were.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Telling me you got in the car after she departed
with the instructor driving instructor who was taking her test,
and you followed them, and I was like like.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
A PC, like a psychope, one behind, waving in the
mirror indicate stop stop do stop don But what's worrying.
What's more worrying about that is that you, as my
friend of many years, thought that that was possible that
(06:57):
I did do that.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
I was already in my head. I could visualize you
driving behind them. Good job, Yes, nailed the parking.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
That's my mom. Yes, sorry that.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
That was beside them at the trafflights, window down.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Just take it. Imagine that.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
No, if I was giving any guidance, she would not
have passed.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
I would be dying, literally dying if my mom did that.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Now, I really think we should do it just for.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Oh, do it with the Melia, and then we'll do
it with Gracie, and then we'll do it with Elsie.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Because I wouldn't be able to be the driver. You'd
have to be driving tears. I'd have tears. But you
did follow them.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I followed them to tape to work out the parking situation.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
My think, do you there's two of them that'll be fine.
Let me go, don't find a park what are they
going to do? Drive around three hours? Mistape not my problem.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Yeah, but what I would do on paper is not
what I actually do.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
In real life.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
What I should do is not what I do do.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
And I'm happy to admit that.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
With everything, that's where he thought a life
