#233 Call Me Baby

This week the boys are divided over pet names - Ash says they’re pure ick, while Matt’s fully committed to the cringe.

Then things escalate when Ash roasts the way Matt talks to his kids… until Matt produces actual evidence of Ash using a very different voice with Macy. Hypocrite or justified baby chat? We’ll let the Doters decide.

Matt and Ash went head-to-head in a fierce battle for tickets to State of Origin Game 2 in Melbourne. You'll have to listen to find out who came out on top. If you want to join the boys at the game, grab your tickets here.

Plus the Doters deliver more elite parenting hacks including why ice blocks for breakfast might actually be genius.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
There's a bee in my bonnet. There is a bee
in my bonnet. I went in simple order and they
fucked it up. There was no one even in there.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
What did you ask for?

Speaker 3 (00:09):
I just asked for a particular chicken rap and I
was like, I'll just get.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
It on its own.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
It was quiet, was dead, nothing could go wrong. Fucking
hop this thing up full of chili. As soon as
I opened it up. It's pretty much just chili rap.
And guess what was in it? Hallooy, I'm being haunted
by the damn HALLOOMI.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Welcome back to two doting dads. I'm mada J and
I'm one annoyed dad.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
What's one second it? Sorry, it's the relatable rap because
this morning, just in case people are wondering, the cafe
next to where we record a little bacon egg wrap. However,
this morning there was only one rap left. The option
was Hallumi rap or a Chariza rap. Ash took them

(01:09):
for the team.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Can't stop you right there, There is no ta in theresa.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
So I'm sorry. No, you're right, that's very valid. That
criticism is something that I'll take on board.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Take it on board next time. They're probably like back then,
like he called it to Ritzo.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
But ash took off for the team. He had the
halloomi and it was just a fucking slab of hallumi.
I've never seen so much halloomi in my life.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
It was like an eraser. You wait the whole thing
it was, and you think I'd be full for the
rest of the month.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
First bite, as was like, fucking, this is awful. I
look over and you're like, if it.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Was there, it was there. People underestimate the fact that
it's there.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
I can't just get that I threw on the ground,
which I that's that means I've had enough of that.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Actually, I was telling ash Vic I for the first
time ever, I sent back a.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Meal oh ye, which again.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Yeah, I was at a restaurant I talk about on
the weekend. But I had an apple crumble that I
sent back. I said, this is not good. Please remove
it from the vent.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
It's a rivating story.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
How can you get a crumble wrong?

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Exactly?

Speaker 2 (02:13):
I'm glad you asked. And I had this thing with
a waiter where I was like, don't want the BINOFFI
pie or the apple crumble, and he was like, you
can't go wrong with apple crumble, right, And I was like,
you are right, apple crumble it is And it came
out and I was like, ah, it was a soup.
It was like an apple soup. It was fucking awful.
Wasn't cooked.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
I said that apple crumble is just apple pie that's
fallen over.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
But this was worse.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
This was worse. Don't worry about me, guys, I've recovered.
I'll talk about my weekend away, including the apple crumble incident,
in more detail.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
In the sex there is a little.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Bit of sex.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Nice. The only reason I'm here.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
But first of all, let's talk about housekeeping.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
What we got. What we got for is I've just
got here on notes. It's fucking cold.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
It is fucking cold, it is it is. When I
wrote that, can you believe six months into the year, guys,
that's fucking wild.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Han, what what do you are you? It's been too long.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
It's gone quick.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Oh I thought you man, it's like, it's it's cold now.
It took six months.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
That point had there's two facets to it.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
I've lost. I'm last point number one.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
We are six months into the year. Point number two.
It is now winter.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Well, would you say six months into the year would
be the end of this month or to the start
of the month. That's a question. I'm asking a hard question.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Don't get bogged down in details.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Don't you. And that's the biggest lie.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
Come on now, time flies when you're having fun, is.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
What it is? True. I always say that, I've always
said that, I've known for that.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
We deserve to pat ourselves in the back, guys, because
last week we had a spike, a huge spike, the
biggest spike we've ever had in the three years of
this podcast. We had a mountain of new listeners come
over and.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
We had that one that was a mistake that time.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Remember it was I was like, ash, we're rich. We
had like one hundred thousand downloads in a day, and
I was.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Like, what the fuck?

Speaker 3 (04:15):
What we were like looking scouring the internet for what
has been reported on.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
I was like, I knew one day would be successful.
And then like it uploaded and it was like, actually,
you had one hundred downloads.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
It was like a back end glitch. It was exciting
for that.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
It was the best twenty four hours of my lid.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Buy a few j.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
But I was wondering all these new listeners. I wonder
where they're coming from. Let me read your review sensational podcast.
It reads, guys, I feel like I'm cheating on Britain
Laura as I've been an og listener to Life on Cut,
but started listening from Holly's episode, and now I'm hooked

(04:53):
and have started from the beginning. You guys make me
laugh and I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I have
years is to catch up on, so now I know
I'll be getting a daily laugh and listening to you guys.
Keep the episodes coming. I read that to Laura and
I thought it was hilarious and the look on her
first I was like, ha, look, you're getting this cold Britain.

(05:16):
Tell her they're deserting your podcast. And then I was like, oh,
she's not laughing, Well she should laugh.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
I think that's fun, fun and funny.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
I was like, you guys get like a millions, give
us one, give us one listener. Gosh.

Speaker 5 (05:31):
I think people are always pleasantly surprised when they do
start listening. I think maybe they have a preconception of
what it is, and then when they listen, they're like, oh,
this is actually really fun.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
He's a fun question. What's the preconception?

Speaker 4 (05:42):
Well, two dads don't know whoa, whoa, How.

Speaker 1 (05:49):

Speaker 1 (07:23):
It's dark it yeah, but this was from a supermarket.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
I always when I was younger, I'd get quite nervous
having to buy condoms.

Boom, there's nothing wrong with having a small penis happens?
How you know that?

We know what it is. It's pretty discreet. It's very discreet. Yeah,
so you haven't used it, are you saying? I'm pretty
sure Frank found my fleshlight. But that's the story for
another time.

few designs, get more? I think we start with two
designs or.

Speaker 1 (11:13):

reacted to the studio paint colors.

about six weeks to get these samples. Every every week

Speaker 1 (12:04):

actual contact training because he never had to, and then
he would make sixty tackles all we can't. I will

came into the comp when you guys were dominating, so
of course they picked, let's pick the team that wins

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Please and thanks to.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
The NRL first sending me and giving me the best
birthday present for my son ever.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Speaking news, Vick, what do you got for us? Well,
that's great, thank you. We lost you there, I do.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
I'm not telling but I'm.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Not telling you.

Speaker 4 (21:08):
No, I do have a good one today.

Speaker 5 (21:10):
And I'm curious to see if you guys use these
with your partners. So a new study has found that
pet names you have with your partner might actually be
good for your health. Researchers say hearing affectionate nicknames such
as baby and sweetheart triggers a rush of the feel
good chemicals oxytocin and dopamine. That chemical reaction can lower

(21:30):
stress hormones, slow your heart rate, and leave you feeling calmer, happier,
and more secure.

Speaker 4 (21:35):
So even if you hate.

Speaker 5 (21:37):
Them, ash pet names might be doing more than just
making new cringe.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
You're a big pet.

Speaker 3 (21:41):
Name guy, me, you will not. You and Laura call
each other baby all the time.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
I don't attack my character like that.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
No, I'm just saying it wasn't It was observation. Baby
comes out of you guys a lot. Babe, they baby.

Speaker 5 (21:53):
Yeah right, they say baby every sentence. I reckon, sorry,
every greeting.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
Now, that's an act. Mine was an observation.

Speaker 4 (22:02):
But just reducing the oxytocin.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
Is not a pet name. If it's like baby, you
guys do a lot.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Yeah, but that's not that's standard. That's not that's like,
there's nothing what do you okay? Well, April, whenever you
call April?

Speaker 1 (22:16):
She was no problem with that. Baby is where I'm at? Baby?
Play on?

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Hey baby?

Speaker 1 (22:23):
Yeah like that? What did I do? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (22:27):
I say babe, babe. It would be very out of
character for Dan. All right, just say baby. I think
I've once called him sweetheart and he's like, that's weird.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
That's weird.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Yeah, hone, you called me the other day.

Speaker 4 (22:39):
Sometimes it just comes out. Sorry.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
I like it when a woman calls me Han like
an older woman my feet. Sorry, not like that wasn't
I didn't mean to say that to you. Sorry, no,
but of an old woman at the cave is like
here you go, Han, I'm like, oh, you know what
I mean.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
What I don't like is the word hubby. Why I
was angry?

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Why? What's wrong with her?

Speaker 3 (23:03):
I just don't like it. It's icky to me, and
that's just a personal preference. Like April, doesn't dare call
me that because I'm like, no, I'll leave you.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
We do.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
The only pet names that we have for each other
is when April does something very frank, like I just
call a little Frankie.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
Is a little frank that is that is not dropping
oxytocin at all? That?

Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yeah, no, because she knows.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
She laughs, Like the other day she's like, would you
like a tea? I'm like, okay, Frankie, because Frankie loves tea.
Frank loves tea.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Is or slow and steady. But baby, you're a big
You're big on baby I've known, says Laura.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
If I call her my soulmate for sets right after
she loves that?

Speaker 1 (23:47):
Really, mate?

Speaker 4 (23:49):
Why you did it in the Mother's Day letter?

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Oh yeah, he's doing absolutely you know that. Any other
then with the kids, I call the kids bubba, which
you know yours? Like what you saying that you're freak?

Speaker 1 (24:01):
Yeah. The other day I've got to tell you and.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
He was like a fucking loser.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
The other day you were on the phone together and
you're like, hey, I've got you could I could tell
that the girls were getting more Auntie and Anty. You're like,
we're going to get the phone. I understand, but he
didn't hang up. I had to hang up after listening
in intently with eight real long round speaker as we.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
Laughed and laughed and laughed. Because Matt was like, it's
a popper.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
I was like, I can't handle this and hang up
because I'm not baby talk guy either.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
Actually, can I pull you up on something?

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Did I?

Speaker 5 (24:30):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (24:30):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (24:31):
Please?

Speaker 1 (24:31):
Yes, I hear it.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
You forget ash. You forget that as a dad to
a young boy and a young girl actually changes your
tone quite significantly. It does.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
You said that, But I like, I only know this
because you pointed out so just so you know, I
wasn't unaware of this until you guys pointed it out.

Speaker 4 (24:54):
It's so obvious and I love it.

Speaker 5 (24:57):
So you've posted two videos this week of the name.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
Could change their names.

Speaker 5 (25:02):
The tone and demeanor of the way you talk to
each of your children, it's very different.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
Let's have a little listen to how us talk to Oscar.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
If we had to change your name to someone rang
me and said, hey, we have to change your name,
what name would you pick?

Speaker 1 (25:22):
Well, that's just funny.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
That's funny, how you go on, you gotta change your name.
You're going to be fame. And then they talked to Macy.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
If we had to change what would you want us
to change your name to.

Speaker 4 (25:41):
It's under the table.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
Okay, you thought about it. We had to call it
Tracy all weekend too. By the way it happened, Hey,
flying come in, come and see your sister trait twicey.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
So when I talk to my girls the same as
how you talk to Tracy.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
I just it's just the bubba. The bubba gets me
because we've brought it up before.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
And then when you accidentally didn't hang up, I was like,
this is perfect.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
I do not sound like that.

Speaker 5 (26:19):
You do.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
What do you call your kids?

Speaker 3 (26:21):
I call them, I call them may, I call them,
I call MACI pudd because it's pudding.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
An Oscar, I'm like big fellas, like because of Bluie,
big Fellow is a good one around the house.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
If if anytime I'm doing anything whatsoevercars like, here comes
big Feller.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
Actually I started killing sorry, wow, I started killing k
I started calling my girls my daughters, bro.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
And they like that. They love that. Oscar loves that.

Speaker 4 (26:57):
I don't know bro doing it with Louie because they
pick it up a school.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Still copying me.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
And then do you know what's the worst is when
you're trying to be a parent and they hit you
with the bro back and you're like, fucking damn it.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
You know. I'll be like, I'll be like, mate, can
you please pick up?

Speaker 3 (27:13):
He's like all right, Bro, I'm like, damn, I fucking
created a monster?

Speaker 2 (27:16):
Does LOUI like it?

Speaker 4 (27:17):
If I say bro?

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (27:18):
I love it?

Speaker 1 (27:19):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (27:20):
What about brat oscar bro? He hates when I call
him Lad? I'm like, coming here, Lad. He's not not
a lad brah like anywhere. But no pet names for
these kids.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
Don't know how good they've got it, bloody hell forever,
trying to forever, trying to give them like.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
Keeping them happy, keep the dialogue, keeper mixing it.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
Up, keeping them alive, keeping them happy and making it fun.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
All the time.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
In the mornings, I'm like, what can I call Marley?
What hasn't she.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
Well that's what I used to get dickhead, something like that.

Speaker 5 (27:54):
Well, we called Lily Lily boo boo for a while there,
but she has caushed that.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
Yeah, Macy was me move. My friend's dad used to
call me shit for brains. That was my nickname.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
That's beautiful.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
And then when he passed away, sadly, he passed away
from cancer and I had to speak at his funeral.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
You speak at a lot of funeral I'm.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
Good at it.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
My opening line was didn't know what mach no, but
I'm here, I'll talk. My opening line was Pat used
to call me shit for brains, and everyone knew immediately
just the sort of sense of humor he had.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
That's just so. I quite like being called ship for brains.

Speaker 4 (28:30):
So okay, as long as it wasn't scarring, No, it's
not going but.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Yeah, no, no, I don't. I'm trying to think. April
and I've been together for what fifteen years? Sixteen years?
Come on, sixteen years? I think. I don't think we've
ever had a pet name like a like one that's
stuck that.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
Other than babe, and I would say babe is and
probably baby for you guys is in passing, you know,
you would just say.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
It like it just rolls off with what do you
call it in the bedroom, mummy the moment chase?

Speaker 5 (29:01):
Actually, can I just say though? If Dan doesn't call
me babe and he calls me vic or Victoria.

Speaker 4 (29:07):
That is more jarring for me.

Speaker 5 (29:10):
Than if he's like, hey, babe, because if he's saying Victoria,
it's like am either not paying attention or I'm in trouble.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like it.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
It has a reverse effect as well.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
She uses my full names.

Speaker 4 (29:22):
Distressful moment on the back of that.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
If you could pick a pet name that you would
like to be called, what would it be? Just quickly?
Nothing too complex?

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Hunky booboo like it schnooks.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
I was husband m husband face for a while on
their phone. Otherwise otherwise I like muffin nothing I want to.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
Give you.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
Would be I don't know what from Bluey.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (29:48):
Anyway, Actually, Dan's in my phone is Dan the Man.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
He's in my phone as Dan the Man too. That
was kind of his Dan's Dan Vick's man.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
Speaking of pet names, you went away without any kids,
I guarantee you the pet names were flowing all weekend.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
What segue?

Speaker 1 (30:09):
That's it? I'm off, my parking's out, going to.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
Go very good. Yeah. I think I think everyone has
heard enough about the fact that I was away with
no kids on the weekend. Even when I dropped off
the kids at gymnastics. Someone was like, how's your weekend?
How's your kid free weekend? I was like, how do
you know? He's like, you fucking want stop talking about it.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
We'll go ahead and tell us again.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
So I had no kids on the weekend. We left
on Friday. We went down south to the other dollar
house and the manner and thank you. But it was
a bit of a stressful morning because we wanted to
drop the kids off, get straight down there, you know,
wanted to maximize every second that we had school drop
off and continue and then we'll like Laura was like,

(30:47):
I'm going to just finish packing, so you just drop
them off. The school's like splitting distance down the road.
I'll knit back home, pick up Laura.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
We'll go.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
We'll get out of there. But it was a bit
of a tricky morning. Everything was a bit slow, the
bags weren't packed, trying to get the kids out of
the door. Also, we stupidly signed the kids up for
Spanish lessons at school. They do Spanish in the morning.
What what because there's no language at school. And then
there's a couple of parents who advocated for Spanish. It's

(31:15):
like a couple of a few Spanish parents, and then
they were like, we need X amount of kids to
sign up to do it on the Friday morning before
school starts, and.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
So I was like, you know what, fucking man of
the people didn't even do it for him.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
Well then and the kids were like, kids were like yeah,
We're like, they're down for that Spanish and then un
nanny Spanish Spanish. So I was like, should we speak
in Spanish? And then when the kids are old enough
and they're fluent in Spanish, they were like, Dad, thank.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
You, yes, thank you. It'd be funny.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
It was like they do all this Spanish and then
the nanny's like, but don't speak Portuguese.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
I'm French. Wow, Okay, are they enjoying it?

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Before we go anything, Well, we always forget because it's
because that's you meant to get to school at eight
o'clock and it's always like eight fifteen, and I'm like
just feeling like I'm freaking. I'm like, get the fucking car,
and the kids like what is it. I'm like, it's Spanish. Oh,

(32:16):
I'm always like, for fox sake, So we've got about Spanish.
Trying to get the kids out the door. The kids
were in the car they had this slothy toy which
she's got like long arms on legs, and they kept
like Lola was like whipping it into me. So I
was like whipping me as I'm trying to drive the
kids to school.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
That's a hazard and that's dangerous.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
Very degous. And I was like hey, multiple times, I
was like, just can you stop doing that? Please? And
I try and grab it and she'd like hide it,
and I was like, Lola, do not know more? Like
that's enough is enough? Did it again? And I fucking
hate that I did this, but I grabbed it and
I said, if you do that one more fucking time,

(32:53):
I'm going to throw this out the window. I mean,
I just I honestly, I really like I hate when
I get so angry that I lose my call. You know,
you get to a point you like blurt out in
frustration something and the kids like they obviously don't enjoy
it at all.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
And just ignore me. Damn it. It's the best.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
Actually, Lola was kind of like, shut up, you loser.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
Yeah. I was just like, chill up.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
And I pulled over and I was like, I just
I was the disrespect. I was like, how many times
do I need to fucking ask like.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
One more time than you did, like seriously every time.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
It's so annoying. And I was like, so annoyed at them,
and then Lola's got a bit of attitude, Marley's a
bit upset. We're late for Spanish now we've just missed
the whole class. And so the last moment of us
together for that weekend was me getting pissed off. And
then I was like walking them into school being like
I love you guys.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Yeah, they're probably talking shit behind your back in Spanish.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
But I drove back.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
Home and I was like, like, it sucks.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
It sucks. I was because also I kind of said
to the girls that hey, we're going on way, but
I don't know if they how much did they really
take in?

Speaker 1 (34:03):
Not a lot obviously, Yeah it's like I know what
you mean.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
But it's like they're probably walking to school and completely
forgotten that interaction and.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
By the afternoon it's long gone. But I had to.
I was like, I'm really sorry. I shouldn't I shouldn't
have sworn just then. I shouldn't have gotten angry. I
was liked, but you kept whipping me.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Yeah, at some point, you're leting us stick up for yourself.
At what point are you just like getting whipped by
your employer?

Speaker 3 (34:26):
Pretty much, it's like your kids are just like and
you can't say anything back and Laura, I'll throw things
out the wind.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
I'll do it, and I've done it.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
Laura was like, how is the drop off?

Speaker 1 (34:37):
And I was like, I got angry and she was.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
Like, why it's the drop off for the weekend. You're
not gonna see them again until Sunday night.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
Weren't there? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (34:45):
I was like, I was getting whipped.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
I don't have a problem with it.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
They were whipping me, Laura.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
What am I meant to do?

Speaker 3 (34:51):
And it's just heart Yeah, I know what you mean
by leaving it on this hour. No, but like they're
forgetting and also.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
Don't whip me and we won't be here.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
So annoying. It's so annoying. And then the fucking dry
having down dollar dollar. I was just like the guilt
the whole time.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
I was like, is that why you called me for
a per cup? Did I call you? You called me
for a per cup? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (35:08):
I think it was. That was a butt dial?

Speaker 1 (35:11):
Was it here going on? Baby baby?

Speaker 2 (35:16):
But it was it was lovely Laura and I we've
been together for a long time. We've had Marley for
my seven years.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
Now. I'll tell you what a long time is. Yeah,
is your first time? Is your first trip or like
in like general without them.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
Years since, we've had two nights on taste. It's pretty good.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
It was fucking so good.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
Can't tell you what's easier with no kids? No kids,
everything everything is easy. We got there, We unpacked the
car in like two seconds. We like sat down, like
just enjoyed each.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
Other's company and you like each other again by the
end of it. Can I give you an analogy? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Okay. I feel like kids are on this.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
Plane, which is the family, right, Okay?

Speaker 2 (36:06):
Okay, you with me?

Speaker 1 (36:07):
Is this a nine to eleven joke? No?

Speaker 2 (36:09):
Okay, carry on love, that's where your mine goes.

Speaker 1 (36:12):
That was twenty years ago, guys.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
I think kids are on this plane, right, which is
being piloted by mom and dad. Okay, And the relationship
is the engine that keeps this plane flying.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
You lost me, but yeah, you go, and it's so easy.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
I think with the relationship with kids that so much
of the communication between you and your partner is literally
just around family logistics. Like Laura and I We obviously
have we have little moments, but so much of our
chat together is like, who's picking up the kids and
you're getting them from gymnastics? What are we having for dinner?
We've got a birthday party on the weekend. You've got

(36:44):
to get a present. Also, we need to get the
car service. The insurance is d It's just the logistics
of family life is ninety percent of what we.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
Talk about is adminchat. That's it. That's it, and that's
essentially a round table meeting, right, And.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
Yes it's important, but if that is all your relationship
is based on, it's not a super healthy relationship for
me anyway. For me and Laura. You like coworkers exactly,
and so to have time away where you don't have
to talk about all the admin's side and it's just
about the two of you, We get to enjoy each
other's company.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
Ah, so much better.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
The wind in our sails a boat.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
It's a slippery it's a slippery slope. Because then you're like,
let's go away without these kids again.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
I was like, let's never take the kids anyway.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Have you seen the movie This is forty?

Speaker 3 (37:30):
They go away on a date like stay one night, away,
and they before going away, it's just chaotic. They're fighting,
they're at each other, they hate each other essentially. Then
they go away for this one night and they obviously
there's nothing with no admin there. They're just enjoying each
other's company and they're loving each other. And they pull
in the driveway and the door opens and the kids

(37:51):
are like one of them's like got a shaved head
or something like that. Fuck, and it just starts again.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
Laura was like, when should we call the kids? And
I was like, also, we didn't tell the kids we
were going to Alla Dalla because they would have wanted
to come. We said we're going to the city. So
we were like, if we call them, we need to
be like in the car, so I don't know where
we are. Yeah, but I was like, okay, what we'll
call the kids. Okay on Saturday afternoon, I was like,
we'll get the kids are call.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
I'll just like take a green screen with you, the news,
there's a harbor bridge behind you.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
And shout out to our nanny because she had all
the three kids and she's unbelievably good. But Buster had
shut in the house. He's getting worse, getting worse, Poppy
was sick, so she would called us and she'd just
been vomited all over all over the carpet in her
room and we were like, oh, and also Raspberry the cat.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
I forgot about that cat.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
We have a cat as well. She pissed and Lola's
bed a cat pissed sting, never done that. She was like,
has the cat? Does she pissing Lola's bed? We're like what.
She's like, yeah, because I went into Lola's room and
she's just pissed all through her blanket. So our poor
nanny's just like up against it. And we're like, oh,
do you want us to come home early? And she's

(39:02):
like no, no, no, I've got it. We're like, thank god.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
So she was none of there too.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
Now were very sick. She she's got the sniffles as well.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
It's going around.

Speaker 5 (39:10):
Nothing brings you back to reality faster than a sick
kid or a pet.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
That's don't ask me, asked the nanny.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
Yeah, just like shaken. We came home.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
She was like here, getting the hell out of here.
But but let me just tell you, it's the first
time I've had pre dinner sex in a very long time.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
Pre dinner sex. Yeah, it's up there. That's great.

Speaker 4 (39:37):
It's nothing like it's better than post because post.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
You're tired and full, you're just bumping bellies, and in
this post, yeah, sex is like running, right, No one
wants to run on a full tummy. Yeah. And when
I've had that apple grumble.

Speaker 1 (39:54):
Well, sex is like araplines, the engine room is room.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
I had. The plane analogy made a lot of sense.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
Honestly, I think you just left the plane analogy.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
Like I said it to Laura and she was like,
that's really clever, and I was like, she's trying to sabotage.

Speaker 1 (40:11):
Hey, baby, that's really good. Thanks Papa.

Speaker 2 (40:14):
So that was the weekend and I think you're good.
Weather too, will be a great weather. And it's one
of those things where you're like, why do we wait
so long for this?

Speaker 1 (40:23):
April and I doing it every two days? Like we're
like not sex, what what? No? Like we're like looking
at holidays.

Speaker 4 (40:32):
With no kids I am in need of that's so bad.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
Sorry, So let's petition to get Vica free holiday.

Speaker 5 (40:43):
Kids.

Speaker 4 (40:43):
Yeah that's the problem.

Speaker 3 (40:45):
Okay, Well you guys take oh no, no way, I'll
pay for the holiday.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
Actually I'm not taking it. I'll pay for the holiday.
You have the Lily. Lily Lily is Vic's daughter who
we try to win over the other day. I think
I won with a Scotch finger.

Speaker 5 (41:03):
I think I got her fierce competition, because Lily is
hard to impress and these two were competing for her love.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
I look over and ashes feeding her.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
She went in real heart.

Speaker 3 (41:13):
I kept my distance, trying to, you know, keep it keen.
And then when she was alone this sounds terrible, and
she was sitting there nicely. I saw a biscuit in
the at Channel nine and I was like, you know,
who'd love this? And I looked at Lily and I
was like pointed like and she was like from that point.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
She was like I was trying to be a fucking
kangarrill and she was like, fucking shut up.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
And then I got her a bag of popcorn, just
played these strings.

Speaker 4 (41:41):
Yeah, it is definitely the way to her heart.

Speaker 3 (41:45):
Speaking about being away, the other week, we went to
the State of Origin and I stayed at my grandmother's
house because she lives not far from there and I
don't get to see her very often.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
Again. Olive, that's right, Yeah, I got a name, Olive Oil. Tattoo.
So I went stay out there for one night, one
night only, which was absolutely painful because my dad was
out there too.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
And what was the first question that he asked?

Speaker 1 (42:07):
Oh, yeah, okay.

Speaker 3 (42:09):
Both my dad and my Nan have severe undiagnosed ADHD.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
It's unbelievable that anything gets done full far from the tree.

Speaker 3 (42:18):
If you spend some time with these two people, you
know exactly where this came from, You'll be like, oh, okay,
all right, you.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
And your dad are identical thrown nan in Oh God,
and she's wor and she's also so ninety in January.
That's incredible.

Speaker 1 (42:36):
But she's also such a manipulator.

Speaker 3 (42:38):
She's so quick witted, like she'll purposely mispronounce things so
that you'll pick up on it, especially I'll pick up
like she used to say digital instead of digital, but
then I picked up or Dad picked up on it once,
so she then she'll just toss it in there. Or
she'll be like she can she can pronounce things like pollymyalja,
which is some disease she's got on her fingers, but
she can't pronounce like uber. She calls it the uber

(43:02):
or the the COVID was the carver anyway that she's
a silly she is very funny, olive, She's very funny. Anyway,
So I walk in and the first thing not even
a hello, it's a.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
Can you freeze salmon? And I was like, what.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
This is your dad? Asking?

Speaker 1 (43:19):
That was dad? And then Nan was like, of course
you can. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (43:22):
I was like, I don't know, that's I guess, so like, what, like,
hello do you guys do? And then they just went
on about a salmon rant for the next half hour.
But anyway, that's not the story. The story is I
stayed out one night. It was a Wednesday night, Thursday night.
I'm back at home. I'm sitting in the loundroom. We
have two bathrooms. We have the on suite okay, and
we have the spare bathroom, which is mainly what the

(43:42):
kids used to shower. You've got three houses. How many
bathrooms you got all together?

Speaker 1 (43:48):
On a second? Well, well, I have two, I own
two bathrooms. How many bathrooms you own?

Speaker 5 (43:52):
That?

Speaker 1 (43:53):
Three? Three bathrooms in one house. Let's not get okay,
let's not get down. It's got like ten bathrooms.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
Which one which master barth Anyway, I was in the
lounder room and I could hear the shower going, and
my kids shower.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
You could still bath or you're converting still bathing, still bathing.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
Yeah, so mine shower and it's like, okay, Oscar in
the shower, Oscar out, Mason in the shower, Oscar and
there's an adult in there at all times.

Speaker 1 (44:18):
Okay, they don't shower together, no, nah nah.

Speaker 2 (44:22):
Sometimes I fuck around too much. I turn around for
a second and then half the bath is on the
floor and I'm like, fucking our guys again. Hate throwing
in front of the kids, Like fuck yeah guys.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
Anyway, So I well, the only time they shower together
is when we do like a movie night. We don't
tell the kids.

Speaker 3 (44:38):
They go and shower while set up the movie night,
and they come out in this popcorn and stuff like that. Anyway,
ash in the popcorn. There's all April's idea. I'm just
a mule, Okay. I just get told what to do
pretty much.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
Just quickly. How does this relate to all of your
grandma what this story? It's not.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
It doesn't, But I'm just saying.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
Tell me that I get bogged down in the detail.

Speaker 3 (45:03):
I missed, okay, okay, I missed a vital part of
information because I was at NaN's house.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
That's how it relates. Okay, Okay, So anyway, I'm sitting
there in the lounge room.

Speaker 3 (45:11):
I hear the shower going and I think, okay, well,
April's probably in there with one of the kids.

Speaker 1 (45:16):
And then I see Macy run out of our bedroom
and I was like, your bedroom.

Speaker 3 (45:20):
Yeah, she's just in there in a jarmy she's already
must have already showered orr And April comes out after it,
chasing him with a hair brush because she doesn't like
to get a hair brushed.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
And I'm like, okay, yeah, no one was kind of
didn't think anything of it. And then I was like,
who's in the shower? And then then the shower goes off,
turns itself off. I was like, what the fuck? Anyway,
Oscar walks out, I'll make showering himself. And now on
he walks out, he's like drying his hair, like he
fucking pays the bills. And I was like, what are
you doing? And Apel's like, yeah, he just decided that
he wants to shower himself from now on.

Speaker 2 (45:48):
I was like, what the fuck, mister independent, I.

Speaker 3 (45:51):
Missed the memo on that one and he's walking out
and like he's just like here going it was to
lot to his bedroom to get changed, hangs his towel
over the chair.

Speaker 1 (45:59):
I was like, am I not needed here anymore?

Speaker 2 (46:02):
It is weird when the kids all of a sudden,
Like Miley this morning, she was just like breakfast. She's like,
I got this, and I was like, but this is
my job, that's what I do.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
Don't take this from me.

Speaker 2 (46:12):
He has a still I've got and she's like now,
even when it came to making a lunch, she's like, ah,
I'll do it. I was like, you can't.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
You can't cut a fucking apple gets out of the
chef's night.

Speaker 2 (46:20):
Yeah, I got it. It's weird. Other kids just like,
all of a sudden, they just want to be independent.

Speaker 1 (46:25):
Just grow up. I was like, do I have a
roommate now? Like that's what it felt like.

Speaker 6 (46:28):
He came out of the shower and he was like
one towel around his waist, the other one is drying
his hair on his phone. He's like, he's like, hey, girl,
fucking carried on into his bedroom and I was like, fox,
going here, how did you.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
Turn the tap off? I was gone for one night.
I know you've grown up. Maybe one more night he'll
move out.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
April like, yeah, he's a night shift. Now, you got
a job, didn't you know that?

Speaker 1 (46:50):
I know?

Speaker 2 (46:51):
And then I was like the other night.

Speaker 3 (46:52):
Afterwards, I was like, all right, it's time to shower,
and I was like, who's in first.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
And she was like, well, I do believe it's Mazy's
hard because I went in the other night first. I
was like, yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (47:02):
Remember, you went in on your own, that's right. And
then he was like, yeah, I shower myself now. I'm like, okay,
but I'm waiting. I'm waiting for him to accidentally turn
the cold off and I'll hear the squeal of the
hot water burning that poor boy's skin.

Speaker 1 (47:13):
I was like, make sure you turn the hot water
off first, dad, and he's like, I got this, bro,
I pay the bills.

Speaker 2 (47:20):
You know what's going to happen. Next he'll be showering you.

Speaker 1 (47:23):
That's that's I need a lot of soap.

Speaker 2 (47:27):
That's the next step on the circle of life.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
You're changing my nappy.

Speaker 3 (47:31):
Yeah, sucker, yeah, I'm going to be when that day comes,
I'm gonna be shit shitting right now, I'm pooping.

Speaker 4 (47:39):
Then I'm ship, we want to keep these life on cutlessness.

Speaker 1 (47:46):
I'm sorry, can I ask how does.

Speaker 4 (47:49):
It make you feel now that you're not needed? Like
does it feel like he's growing up?

Speaker 1 (47:53):
I think it's that deep. It was more like, yeah,
I was like, you can cry, you wish.

Speaker 4 (48:00):
I feel like it's like little tiny.

Speaker 1 (48:02):
Micro jumps detachments.

Speaker 4 (48:06):
Yeah, micro's attachment.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
He still needs me. It'd be nothing without me. That's
what I like to believe. He's only five, he's seven.
I know, I was joking. He's seven next week? What
about that smiley is a week after?

Speaker 2 (48:19):
Just to remind you, I'm looking still looking for that
venue higher because fucking everything's a bloody triple the price.
In Eastern Sydney. We were trying to be good parents recently.

Speaker 1 (48:31):
You and Laura your great parents. Don't be ridiculous, no
more so.

Speaker 2 (48:35):
One thing that we don't really do a lot of
is like disciplining the kid. The kids will like talk
to us with a lot of attitude and we're like,
we don't.

Speaker 1 (48:43):
Yeah, there's not I won't.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
With that the consequences, there's not really a lot there.

Speaker 1 (48:49):
When a kid talks to me wrong, I'm like, yes.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
So the kids are being a bit cheeky, and we
were like, and it was a night where we pre
planned a trip to the RSL, which they love. It's
like their favorite on a Thursday night, Icebergs North one RSEL.
Oh it's closer, let's at the endo of playground. They
love it?

Speaker 1 (49:06):
Is it real? Echo?

Speaker 2 (49:07):
We No, it's great, it's great. And also they love
it's the only RSLT that I've been to. At six o'clock,
they do the last post and everyone has to stand up.

Speaker 1 (49:16):
Do they really? Yeah? Like the kids are so confused.

Speaker 2 (49:20):
They love, they love it.

Speaker 1 (49:21):
They're like the first time, Oh yeah, like what does
everyone even? I was like, what's happening? I know they're
like face the west, like the west? Which way is it?
I mean doors? There's no windows in these places.

Speaker 2 (49:32):
But also some of the kids when like when they laughing,
you're like, you gotta respect the ans as of someone's
feature on the poke off. But the kids are being
really naughty and we're like, you know, that's it. You're
staying home, Maley, You're not going to be the rs
L I love. And I was like, we've got it.
We've got to teach her a lesson and as Jen
Muir the Oracle always say the tantrum is just a

(49:54):
lesson being taught. Okay, We're like, we're not going to cave. Also,
once people like put it out though, that she's not going,
he can scream all you like, doesn't matter decisions being made.
It's final. We're not going back on it. End of
And then Laura and I were like, oh fuck, who's
got to go to the RSL. And I was like
I don't really want to go if you're not going.
But then Laura was like, you go, you go, you
take Lola, and I was like.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
She definitely never wanted to go in the first place.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
And Lola was like, I want mum. And Laura was like,
I'm going to stay home with Marlay because I did
the discipline with Miley, so I don't want you to
then be fun times dad with her at home. So
I'm going to stay at home. And so Lala was
like like, I'm gonna go with this guy.

Speaker 1 (50:31):
What about Poppy?

Speaker 2 (50:33):
No, she stayed at home with Laura.

Speaker 4 (50:35):
I thought Lola was all about you now she was.

Speaker 3 (50:37):
She was like I was, I was trying it.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
I was like, Lola, it's date night. You were me
on a date and she was like, oh yeah, so
it was really cute, like we're like, took a couple
of photos together. She was dressed up, real nice, having
a great time, and I was like, you know what,
this is what it's all about, someone on one time.
This is really important stuff. And then she turned on me.

Speaker 4 (50:58):
I always do it.

Speaker 3 (51:00):
She went into the I always say, don't ruin it,
and they're like, you watch me fucking ruin It was
going like it was like imagine a first day where
everything is just going perfect.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
You never's having a good time.

Speaker 1 (51:10):
Would you give her a rose one?

Speaker 2 (51:12):
But then they have a TV now.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
And the.

Speaker 2 (51:16):
That wasn't the Bachelor for those one's the most eligible
bachelor in Australia.

Speaker 1 (51:20):
Take it outs on YouTube.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
It's not.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
Actually the crying bit is thanks to me.

Speaker 2 (51:27):
But she was like, I want one more episode of
Blue because Blue was playing in the play area and
I was like, okay, one more episode. See the episode
of Blue finished, and I was like, cool, let's get
out of here. It's time to go, and she was like, fuck,
there's I'm legging it runs into the playground. I was like,
there's a couple of parents there as well.

Speaker 1 (51:42):
You know when you're that parent.

Speaker 2 (51:43):
You're like, you come down right now, and I'm like
vocal in the playground and then Laola's like, fuck you
a loser, and I was like, you gotta come down
this second. And then like it's this Mexican standoff where
she wasn't budging and the parents were like and I'd
like smile with It's like.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
Oh, did you just climb in there?

Speaker 2 (52:02):
I tried it. She was escaping me.

Speaker 1 (52:04):
I can't get in there. It's so hard. I'm not
okay a couple of things.

Speaker 3 (52:08):
I'm not that flexible, and I honestly maybe twenty kilos
less I could get in there.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
What sucks is when you try and punish your kids,
try and teach them some consequences, but then you, as
the parent, end up suffering the most.

Speaker 1 (52:22):
It's a thankless job, Matt.

Speaker 3 (52:24):
That's what really hard. Yeah, realistically, it's a thankless job.
And you shouldn't yell your kids in public unless you
absolutely have to thank you.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
I needed to hear that no. So in the end,
I had in my arsenal of tricks to try and
get my child to listen to me. I only had
one option left, abandonment. I was like, well, I'll have
to live life without her.

Speaker 1 (52:47):
It only really works if they've got a fear of ambannonment,
like Oscar.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
I don't think Lola does. But I was like, I
had no other option, and I was like, well, got
my keys out, like dangled the keys and I was like,
I'm just gonna leave.

Speaker 1 (52:57):
You did the key dangle?

Speaker 2 (52:58):
Have a good afternoon, see you, Loola. I'm heading home
and I just turned my back and I was.

Speaker 1 (53:04):
Like, did she come quick or did she creep? Well?

Speaker 2 (53:08):
I was slowly walking out. I think the parents also
in the playground were like, hell, that's kind.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
Of the people like, oh, I know this move.

Speaker 3 (53:17):
I've seen this move before. It's Sefa pans out for him.
You've got commentators in the corner.

Speaker 2 (53:22):
And then I look at my shoulder. He's really going
for it in the top corner where she once was.
She's alonger there, and I was like, where the fuck
is she gone?

Speaker 1 (53:29):
It's an all or nothing move.

Speaker 2 (53:30):
That one that didn't work.

Speaker 1 (53:32):
It's embarrassing to come back from.

Speaker 2 (53:33):
I'd have to call Laura. I'd be like, can you
come get it? Because I can't.

Speaker 3 (53:36):
I'm trying to think like I've done it to Macy
where it's like I've had to be like, oh, the
other days you wouldn't come like she was.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
I had to pretty much be like, I agree with
a marshmallow after So at the end of that was
she got rewarded.

Speaker 2 (53:51):
I know you don't have a marshmallow.

Speaker 1 (53:53):
Yeah, show me, show me it's in the car. No
it's not.

Speaker 2 (53:59):
So she followed me and I was like, I've finally
done it. And then in the car ride home she
was like, you're the worst dad ever. I hate you.

Speaker 1 (54:06):
And I was like, you're a bad kid.

Speaker 3 (54:10):
Feeling mutual, you really should yeah, glasshouses, Laura, Glasshouses.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
And then I came home and then Marley and Laura
were having a great time as well. So I came
home with Laula being like I hate you, and I
was like, yeah, well that sucked. No one had fun.
Then Laura and Marley like dancing in the living room,
and I was like, of.

Speaker 1 (54:31):
Course you guys are having fun. Yeah, you got sent
down because you're a fun time dad. And then do
you think Marley learned a lesson? Though? I don't know.
I don't think they do. I feel like we're dishing
out a lot of lessons.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
They're not learning tried to punish the child. I'm the
one who got punished, and then you're the one who.

Speaker 3 (54:47):
Thinks about it and they sleep comfortably at night and
you're like, was not too hard and you're in your
own head about it.

Speaker 2 (54:54):
Am I am? I doing a good job.

Speaker 1 (54:56):
You're doing the best you can.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
I don't know is anyone I enjoying this? I don't
think so.

Speaker 5 (55:01):
No.

Speaker 1 (55:02):
So except for when they're like, I'm not coming down,
they're enjoying it. They're going I'm not coming that's them
clearly enjoying it. Mattle. This segment is all about smart parenting. Okay,
so people are sending in what they do.

Speaker 2 (55:17):
I was like, don't look at me.

Speaker 1 (55:19):
What they do as a smart parent, and it's thanks
to Audi good different. This one's from Kate Matt.

Speaker 3 (55:25):
When my kids don't want a bath slash shower, I
use shaving cream on the shower glass.

Speaker 1 (55:31):
They draw everywhere with no complaints and the glass is
sparkling clean.

Speaker 2 (55:35):
Poor dads, Where the fuck's my shaving cream?

Speaker 1 (55:39):
He's like, I wouldn't usually have a bed like this,
but there's no shaving green.

Speaker 2 (55:44):
Shaving cream is not cheap.

Speaker 1 (55:45):
No we got do you know?

Speaker 5 (55:47):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (55:48):
Vic do you use it? I don't just use the
Do you know what we got the other.

Speaker 3 (55:53):
Day I accidentally got delivered someone else's shopping and it
was shampoo. Anyway, the kids frothen it was a kid's shampoo.

Speaker 1 (56:01):
They're like, we want to use it. I want to
use it.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
So they're in the normally bathed.

Speaker 1 (56:06):
Was just they've just got some soap. Just cold water,
cold water run? What even it was a really foamy
is this daddy? Usually? What is this clean?

Speaker 2 (56:21):
Hands off the tampoo?

Speaker 3 (56:23):
It was like it would foam up. They were intrigued
until they got in their eye and then that was
the end of that.

Speaker 2 (56:28):
But anyway, apparently the crayons, the crayons which people have
recommended previously, gets in the ground.

Speaker 1 (56:35):
That cheap grout. Yeah, just concrete your whole house.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
Don't want to make people panic if they have gone
out already after the last episode. And I bought the
colored crayons for the bath tub, but just watched the ground.
Be careful of the ground.

Speaker 1 (56:48):
We really bumste people on that one. So who's the
paper's ground now?

Speaker 2 (56:52):
I think they'll come out and say shaving cream causes
cancer and kids and don't listen to anything. We say
what we got next from McGan McGan my again. Okay,
you're gonna be a bit shocked when I read this
first part, but just bear with me. She says, ice
blocks for breakfast.

Speaker 1 (57:11):
You're gonna need to elaborate because that seems like a treat.

Speaker 2 (57:15):
Seems crazy, right, crazysy? Well, let me continue. I freeze
smoothies into ice block molds. My toddler then thinks he's
having ice cream for breakfast, and I know he's full
of nutrients.

Speaker 1 (57:29):
That's good gear. Do you reckon? I could do that
for like special treat after dinner. It's like, hey, you
eat or your dinner, you get this ice cream? Do
you do special treats after Oh?

Speaker 2 (57:36):
Yeah, I give them full of chocolate. Really they get
like a couple little gummy lollies or me too?

Speaker 1 (57:43):
What do you mean a couple little starving your kids?

Speaker 2 (57:46):
Vic, You're like, I'll give them half a strawberry?

Speaker 1 (57:49):
Please?

Speaker 3 (57:50):
Can I have some more?

Speaker 4 (57:51):
You're wondering why it's hard to get them to bed?

Speaker 1 (57:54):
Ye, that's true. Yeah, she's schooled.

Speaker 5 (57:57):
We once recently gave Louis a tea spoonful of chocolate
sauce after he had his antibiotics. We go back.

Speaker 1 (58:04):
He's a tea spood of dust that was so thrilled.
Here's a treat of metal mus.

Speaker 4 (58:10):
He was bouncing off the walls.

Speaker 1 (58:13):
Sugar before you deprived the poor child. How dare you judge, Matt.
You're doing the best you can. Man.

Speaker 2 (58:19):
I give them a two lid I bottle of coke
and that, yeah, a.

Speaker 1 (58:23):
Piece of stale bread in the cupboard, you're gonna have that.
Vic did say on another episode, I give them some
frozen fruit.

Speaker 2 (58:30):
I was like, uh, you're one of those.

Speaker 1 (58:34):
They're gonna come back from their friends.

Speaker 3 (58:35):
And house like, guess what Timmy's mom has, And like,
I bet it's not frozen fruit like a bragg And it's.

Speaker 4 (58:41):
Because you haven't seen my kids on sugar.

Speaker 1 (58:44):
Well, that whose faults That.

Speaker 2 (58:48):
He's genius. And if I could do it for dinner,
my kids actually et breakfast pretty well, it's dinner. That
if I could blend up spaghetti bionnaise and give it
to them as an ice block, but I don't.

Speaker 3 (58:57):
Think I'm going to try it as for special tree
because I'm sick of the meeting of my ice cream
and that's my ice cream and Daddy doesn't drink anymore,
so daddy needs his ice cream.

Speaker 1 (59:07):

time and they are fighting, I flip their safety switch.
Then it's mum, the powers out. Mom, the internet isn't working,
And I'm like, oh, I don't know. It is literally

(01:00:19):
a circuit breaker.

Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
It's genius. It's turns the power off.

Speaker 3 (01:00:25):
I reckon there's one PowerPoint in our house that if
I turned both switches on, it trips it anyway. So
I'm just like, as soon as the kids give me
the ships, I just hit that and does the same thing.
So I think it's good gear.
