Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack team podcast
from News Talks.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
A'd be congratulations Jack, Are you getting much sleep? Ha
ha ha. Well we all know the answer to that. Yeah. Look,
it's fair to say that our sun seems more focused
on feeding and sleeping at the moment, and that's absolutely
fine by me. But yeah, we're getting.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Used to that.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
There's not a whole lot of routine at the moment
on that front. But I'm sure it's I'm sure it's
going to come. I am pleased that he's managed to
time has run for the champions Trophy, so that at
the very least, if we are sitting there waiting for
him to finally nod off, I can just grab my
iPad and just check in on the latest game. Ninety
two is our text number if you want to send
(00:50):
a sub message. Don't forget the standard text costs apply
if you are seeing your sub message, and I'll get
to some of your messages very shortly. Kevin mill is
with us this morning.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Morning, sir, well in and congratulations Jack to you and Marba.
Your life's changed forever, of course, and and your peace
was just superb.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Thanksgivin. Yeah, I just feel like all the cliches are
all the cliches ring true, you know, like all of
the kind of the whole crazy blend of emotions and
you know, and the sweeping feelings of love and all
of that stuff is so true. But I can also
see why everyone has a birth story everyone, you know,
(01:34):
Everyone's like, oh, here's what happened to me, Here's what
happened to me. Here's what happened to me. It feels
like this really what's strange about it. It feels like a crazy,
kind of wild and definitely traumatic experience. But you have
these really intense positive emotions and these really intense kind
of you know, fearful emotions and all these other things.
You have it, but but no one else in your
(01:55):
life is having it. So you and your your partner
are having it. No one else in your life is
having having it. And then you have it, and then
three hours later, with a bit of luck, things are
all good and you know, and the world's gone to
normal and you're moving on.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
It's oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now what do I
take it that your lovely baby boy doesn't have those
piercing blue eyes, Well, they've.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Sort of got his We think they've caught it kind
of gray blue at the moment, and so we and
and Google says that it's going to take a few
months for that to be finalized. So yeah, we're waiting
to see if he's got there. He has inherited my
pink skin, which is I mean, my wife's good because
she's Middle Eastern, you know, she's got the lovely kind
of olive's skin. And we did look at it and
look at him the other day and we thought, oh,
(02:38):
maybe he is looking a bit olive. Them We're saying
to each other, that's good. He's got a bit of
the olive undertones to his skin. And then the nurse
walked in and she said, oh, your baby's looking a
bit jaund us. I probably need to take him outside,
give him it a son. Okay, but yeah, we'll see.
But anyway, Kevin, you want to talk about baby names
this morning?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Well, I thought, saying that we waited for the official
announcement of your gorgeous baby boy's name. I talk about
baby naming firstly, McKee advice not to you, but to
the listeners really is, if you're not one of the parents,
stay out of it. But I admit that I've been
unable to resist trying to help my son and his
(03:19):
partner with names for their boys. For the record, they've
not gone with any suggestion I made for either of
their two boys, and good on them. The second point
I'd say i'd reckon is that if you don't like
the name that someone else has given their child, don't
say anything negative. The line has drawn the curse that
has cast. As Bob Dinnan had put it, no one
(03:40):
is going to change the name of their baby because
you don't like it, but they may well remember for
the rest of their lives that you express the dislike
for their child's name. I think even subtle statements of dislikes,
such as well that's an odd one or a cheerless
never heard that name before, is unwelcome. Nor can you
(04:02):
get away with saying nothing. In my opinion, there's only
one way to react when parents announce the name of
their baby. It is fabulous, love it. I think it's
reasonable to ours parents why they chose the name and
where did that name come from, as long as you're
genuinely interested in not just trying to make a point.
(04:22):
It's interesting how babies names come under intense scrutiny, jack,
isn't it when when they're announced. I remember when our
daughter was born and we called her Tommy, people would
look puzzled and say, but that's a boy's name. Did
they think that we had somehow made a mistake, we'd
bought the book of names and had chosen from the
(04:43):
wrong list, the boy's list. When people said to me,
but Tommy's a boy's name, I've found it somewhere simple
just to say it isn't anymore. So there we go,
and we look forward to hearing in good time the
wonderful name. I'm sure you'll come up with.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Well, it's funny how you get six weeks I think,
or so six weeks or so to kind of finalize
it and decide it which is good. And we've you know,
we've we've i mean been given it a bit of thought.
And my wife and I have slightly different approaches because
she's I've been like, let's get organized, come on, let's
sort of out a name before he's born, and she
was like, no, I've got to I've got to meet
him before I can, before I can, So we sort
(05:25):
of had a bit of a long list. Tell you
the other thing, that is the thing that has changed
baby naming these days. Chat GPT.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Oh, it's one of them.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
It's really because you know, there are all sorts of
apps for baby naming in these things these days, but
you can go to go to something like chat GPT
and you can say, oh, you know what, what's a
three syllable name of Persian origin that starts with the
letter T, and then it'll come up with lots of
different you know, lots of different options like that, and
then you can say, what does that name mean? Compare
(05:56):
it to some other options. It's yeah, it's it's changed
the game a little bit. So I will make sure
to report back on that front when we've when we've
got a lockdown.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Given, I've no doubt. Well, congratulates again, Jack, absolutely brilliant.
Please hear things gone well.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yeah, really appreciate it. Kevin keving on with us this morning.
Thank you for all your lovely messages as well, so
says Jack. I cry with joy this morning. That's beautiful. Oh,
thank you, Sue. Oh, it's you and our son together.
I'm not sure it's my words. It's moving him necessarily. Jack.
Congratulations to you and Marva. Great news. I really enjoyed
your story this morning, says Carol, I appreciate it, Carol.
