Speaker 2 (02:17):
Half they're the same age.

Speaker 4 (02:19):

We think.

Speaker 3 (02:21):

So how does that chet go? In the middle of
the night when it's like, you know, one of you
needs to.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
Go we we at the moment have just both get up,
so Amy will feed them and then I'll change and
brip them. But it all depends like if one of
us has to get a but like five the next
day and the other one doesn't. But usually both of

(03:05):
us get up just because we wake up anyway. I mean,
if Amy's feeding the baby and I'm like, I go, okay,
I'm going to go back to sleep, just feels weird,
so I just stay up. This doesn't it.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
It doesn't you have this like you never feel it
more of a piece of shit.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
In your life than when they're like feeding and.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
You're just like you yeah, because and then when you
do fall asleep.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Because I mean, let's say it happens.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
I've got sleep at mere so I need a little
mask as well as I start snoring real bad. It's
one of the issues with being a virgin for so
long as you don't know what sleep issues you've got.
I'm courage and listening to get out there and stay safe.

Speaker 4 (03:44):
And then do a question and the next morning, what
am I doing during the.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Night for me to go back to sleep, I have
to put take a lot my mask back on, so
then it's a real like so I just stay up.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
So you can't casually you can.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
I can't drift off because I had to put the
mask on and turn the machine on so.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
That you would hear that.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Like, are you purposely trying to alienate your audience? Like
you've just said, have you having a great drive home? No,
everyone's driving.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, I appreciate that. Live feedback.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Where is this three sixes after someone said it said it?

Speaker 3 (04:32):
Yeah, it's like I'm walking. I'm like, I can't believe.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Goes out there to the people that are on the iHeartRadio, Appy.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
Anyone outside the studio, just think through the grape through
the vehicle.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
It's a fair shout. Actually it's a fair shout. Actually
I haven't thought about that, and it always has been.
I mean, it even says it on our bloody poster
woods for the drive home, and it's wrong.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Why I only listen to I only listen to it
when I'm when I'm driving because I thought, you know, lad, otherwise.

Speaker 5 (04:59):
Yeah, look, losing the people the tram catches.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Somewhere else. Really saying we don't want you, isn't it
should be willing more Will and Woody for Earth Maximize,
maximize your audience for breathers. Yeah, we're here. I want
to talk.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
So does brother?

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Anybody that you avoid conflict at all costs except.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Just then, I guess, yeah, came at me.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
It was well, it should have been Willing, Woody and
Luke until the until the breakup, until the accident. Exceptredice.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
I've never been attacktifying before. It felt good for me.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
I enjoyed it. Yeah, it was a bit of.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
Are you trying to do it more? Are you trying
to attack more?

Speaker 3 (05:51):
No? I because I've got kids now. If something goes wrong,
they look to you to fix it. I don't know
if they don't get something, which I would normally just
let fly, and they're like, I really do want my
six nuggets? Oh yes, And I'm like, yeah, that's fair enough,
and I'm going to go back and drive back to McDonald's.
You didn't give me the six nuggets. I don't have
the receipt, but.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
So I'm getting fold like a back of cards.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
Normally I would just like that's fine.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Yeah, Because I said, well, do you know got this
conversation the other day about you got to teach them consequence,
Like if you do that and I say you can't
do that, and I say, this is what's going to
happen if you do that. You have to follow through
on the you know, I'm going to take that away
or I'm going to leave the room or whatever it
is thing. Otherwise you just you're a walkover and they
take it. They they just start taking advantage of it.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
I think the kids' test boundaries, but like, whatever works now,
you have to do something that works when they're.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
An adults as well.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Seventeen and tall. So any punishment that revolves around you
being big in control, yeah, it doesn't work. So it's
good advice. The downside, I guess that that is I
have talked to the kids and just said listen, and
they'll be like, I only aim to the because you
told me to, and I'm because I had to, and
I'm like, well, to be fully transparent. If you had

(07:05):
said I'm not going to unpack the dish wash, actually
don't have a backup plan other than feel sad. So
I'm very grateful that you choose to.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
Like emotional black. It would be very sad.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
My dad used to smack me, which is old school,
you know, but it was that thing was once I
got older, nothing he did work like all the past
that all of your tools relied on me being little there.
So I've been really careful with the children just to like, Okay,
this is my wife's six foot one and my kids
are going to be they're going to tower over me.

(07:44):
So and you know, just smacking in general, don't do it.
But it's it's I always remember that moment where a
dad and I flipped our relationship. So I'm really careful
with my kids to make sure it's got to work later.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Sorry, can I ask you tell me if this is
two invasive? But like the moment when.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
I guess it's.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Radio Like, do you remember distinctly the moment when the
relationship lipped? Yeah, Like was there like an actual moment
where you were like, oh, you're looking at me.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
And you can't.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
Dad was very He didn't like apologizing because I think
he had a certain amount of pride and like he
had to be, you know, right, and when he was wrong,
he didn't like to admit it.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
Pretty classic male of that generation.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
And like his childhood was really hard, a lot harder
than mine. But you don't know that as a kid.
You just know what you're going through. It was I
think I was maybe fifteen or something. Dad asked me
to do something that I objected to, like I honestly
can't remember what it was, and I just said no,
and then we just stared at each other and I said,
and you can to hit me, and we just it

(08:50):
was just this weird moment where I'm I don't have
I don't have to listen to my dad anymore. It
was weird, it was, and I just remember that and
think I never want to have that with my kids.
I ever want to because you in the end, you
want them to do what is quote unquote right because
they want to do it for you.

Speaker 5 (09:08):
Yeah, they love you and or they know it's right
because I know it's the right thing to rather have
to do that like you want.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
To, because that's how you be, that's how they that's
how you're training for life, right, is that you want
them to do the thing when you're not there because
it's good for them, whether it's prushing their teeth or
whereas you know, because my and I'm sorry this is
very funny, but because my house is hilarious people are
the producer, Sorry, what's that sponsored to? So it's yeah.

(09:43):
The the other thing that made me really so the
fear based approach sort of went away when I.

Speaker 5 (09:49):
Got older, rather than being scared of whereas I was, Yeah,
I was.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
I didn't tell my parents anything, so I was worried
about the consequences. I want them to go listen with
Robbed a bank and I'm like, Okay, you're not in trouble,
let's talk about fixing this. Yes, I want to be there,
go to And I think if it's if you raise
your kids with fear, you don't, you're not You're not that,

(10:14):
which means you can't help them in their moments of
when they really need you.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
It's bank rubbing. The number one concern for.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
You is yeah, yeah, they've already They've alread Robbed three.
They're so good at it. I shouldn't have let them
play Payday on the PC. But yeah, it's And the
other thing was to my part of like being with
mum and dad, I like, raising kids is hard, so
I'll forgive them. But then when I had my kids,

(10:41):
they really love, I really enjoy the having them around, Like, oh,
it's actually not that bad. That, but anyway, it's different.
I've got more money than my parents had back of
the day. Dad had a lot of harder childhood than me,
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. It's really it's tricty.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
It's outrageous that you that you like the lens that
you have for your parents.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Well, there's always way.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
I certainly have had this moment a number of times parenting,
where the lens that I had for my parents looking
from the bottom up is always I expect more of you,
And then I think the moment that you become a parent,
I don't know. I've had this moment a number of
times where I've gone like, you were just me, weren't you?

Speaker 3 (11:19):
Yeah, like, how are you guys finding it? You were
a drink and you don't react like your parents did.
It's really easy to not.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
Be that yeah, yeah, exactly, Like you have those moments,
But then I also have the other side of the
moment where I have, you know, I get home from
work or I'm tired, or I'm stressed, and you know,
particularly on where I'd catch myself and be like, I
don't want to be like that.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
Yeah, I don't know if.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
You find I Sam and I and my partner and
I like we've talked about it ad nauseum when we
get home and we're like, how do we want to
do that?

Speaker 1 (11:46):
How can you help me with that?

Speaker 3 (11:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (11:48):
You know, because you have lots of parts of yourself
everyone does where you're reactive and you don't control, you're triggered,
you do something, you don't want to do that, but
you need someone to go, hey, we don't.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Let's not parent like that.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
How do we change the behavior?

Speaker 3 (11:59):
Yeah, and that's what was you know, we weren't demonstrated
the best techniques, and so that's how default. We've got
to try and out of it.

Speaker 5 (12:06):
And you pick out and your partner like the moments
where it's like I think you're doing that thing, which
is clearly saying that your parents did with you.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
Yeah, I'm doing that. Yeah my parents did to me
and I could talk about that.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah, it's really Yeah, it's hard, it's how and it's
our default reaction and then we've got to pull back.
And and also the kids are like asking things where
they're like, how would you deal with this? And you're like,
you know, they'll be teased at school and I'll be
like you just got to you know, just know that
you know they're doing it because they they're they're acting out,

(12:38):
or maybe they're jealous of you, so just let it go.
Whereas in my mind I'd be like, I still remember
insults from rifteen years ago, Like I have no idea
how I deal with that. I'd be like, I still
have grudges. You're trying to tell them, I don't know,
just be just to be san and.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
As you bring out your list of people that I'm
going to.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
Kick them the chins at the scory again, like, yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Oh look, it's been really good to have you. Thank
you so much. Thanks for sharing that.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
I think I think drive time commercial radio is the
best time to.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
Get that absolutely.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
And then just go straight to something on, you know,
and then just flick it out on. I'm sorry, I
love that. Thanks having me on. I appreciate it, And
