Are you ready for on the cutting room floor today?
Dads are great largely they just get along with their lives.
They organized stuff. They don't get much praise. They don't
do anything they've managed to do.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
They organize things I think they do.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
They do a lot of stuff they do. They do
a lot of stuff that goes under the radar. There's
a lot of stuff you do. You know, your cook food,
or you'll fixed stuff, or you'll go and move a
kid's fridge, and you do that largely.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
You know, you just do stuff.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
You might have a hangout, you might have pain, you
might not at all. It's just so you just go
on unnoticed. But we do have a trouble problem with
getting stuff over the line when it comes to what
the kid wants.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
You just want to make your daughter happy.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
And this young girl has told her dad she wanted
a K pop birthday party?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
How did it go?
Speaker 3 (01:18):
So what she wanted was like you know k pop,
you know the bright stages, the fun outfits, the quirky music.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Dad thought that.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
She met Korean party, so he's looks Kim John UN's
faces come on.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
So he got her a cake with Kim John woo.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
She went he went North Korea?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Yeah, wrong, bad career, who went bad?
Speaker 4 (01:40):
He could have at least gone side Yeah, he could.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Have gone side Gangham style, which is pretty much K pop.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
But he's gone North Korea to the dictator. And so
what was what did she have a cake with a
cake with his head on it?
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Was she happy?
Speaker 3 (01:53):
You know? I think kids would be happy with having
a North Korean dictator on the cake.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
It could put on a balloon. It's shaped like a balloon.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Yeah, it's not exactly K pop, is it?
Speaker 3 (02:04):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
No, no, no, it's it's dictator stuff. But that's what happens.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Remember when we used to work with Boss Lady Millie
and she went and got her eyebrows done, and her
dad walked in and just said, man.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
You look like a monster.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
She fled the room in tears, had sobbed herself to
sleep on the bed.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Yeah, and she was about to go to a formal
or something. So you look like a.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Moment Ellie's mum said to her husband at the time
they divorced, since not because of that, said, oh my god, Andrew,
can't you can't you?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:38):
You have to say every word that comes into your head.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah. And that's what happens, and I do it with
my daughter regularly.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
What I just thinks like that where you muck up
stuff or you make food and they're never happy.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
They're never happy with anything.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
We went through the stage, as you know of when
my children were younger. I thought it was a badge
of honor and a duty and a much loved duty
because I love baking to make.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Their birthday cake.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yes, when Jack was one and Liam had just turned three,
I thought, oh, this one year old's not going to care.
But I knew there'd be a photo, and so I thought,
I'm as well to make it out of polystyrene and
put some smarties on it. But instead, no, I made
a big cake and blah blah blah. But then Emiliam,
when he was three and we got two circle cakes,
hardly helped me. We put the little animal and we
made a farmyard, put little animals on them and they
(03:21):
were doing little chocolate poos. We had a little mirror
that had a swan on it like a lake.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I remember seeing that.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
And then as they got older and got more specific
about wanting things like the Shrek cake, Brendan, I thought
I might need to buy one, and you shamed me.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I did not shame you.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
You said you have to make your child's own cake.
So you said you'd make a Shrek cake.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
And this went on for weeks. We said I've got
all the it's going to be incredible.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
And I started to get a bit anxious because I
thought it does tap into how you feel as a
parent when someone shames you and says I'll make the cake.
And you said that you were scared that you'd be
that dream Works would send their lawyers over because you're
infringing copyright.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Could a cease and desist? Because the likeness was so
uncanny and you didn't know me that well back then.
This was like two things.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
I gave you the benefit of the dad.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
And this shred cake. And I remember making it with
my daughter Romany, who was.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Very young, and she was so cute because she loves baking,
and she's saying, I think it's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Dad, And it had a big, gaping sort of chasm
in the top.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
It broke, it split open in the cooking process. But
that made Shrek's mouth and my life for his nose.
And it was this horrible.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
There was a horrible gargoyle vomit.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
It looked dreadful, and Romany was so sweet, she said,
it doesn't look too bad. But then I got into
work and I said to the producer at the time, Peter,
I said, and he said, that looks dreadful. And we
were laughing so much, and then he leaned into the
You know, apparently the Disney people are upset.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
This likeness is so old.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I felt terrible because I thought you've out shown me,
and that's not fair because I loved baking.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
You didn't need to beat me in it.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
No, well, you know, and quite fairly you've been outshining
me ever since.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
So remember we went to the Sydney Royal Is to show.
We both made a cake each to be judge. I
made I think it was a blueberry cake, and you
made a cake and you thought that you just jam
Mars bars into it, thinking that that would gets you
across the line of the judges.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
It didn't work for you, and I've loved that ever since.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
But didn't they say something about your cake being dry?
Speaker 4 (05:25):
What kind of memory?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Do you pretty sure they said your cake was dry?
Very upset when Matt Preston criticized your meat book, I know.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
No, my krabby patty?
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
My family still won't watch Matt Preston because of that,
because of that, because I used to make these little
salmon cakes and I called them krabby patties, and he
said they tasted festy, and.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Often he was quite wrong.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I tasted fridge.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I thought I was going to cry, and it's who cares?
But he was so savage food and ever since. But
this is a fun We told him to I didn't
tell him to go hard.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
You did. I said go hard, go hard.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I can't handle it. But I've never made them since,
and my children have never forgiven him. They loved them,
and they were upset that I was upset.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Just goes to show don't push me.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Has anyone seen Matt Preston lightly?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
No?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
No, he emailing a bit fisty.
