You can tell we're both really energetic

29

:

Well, I definitely partied hard.

30

:

Dan 1: Yeah, I didn't party as hard,

but I didn't have much energy because I

31

:

was trying to stuff out from surprise.

32

:

It's a problem when you let people stay

over at your house, but it's a surprise.

33

:

You then have

34

:

to try and do everything.

35

:

Tilly: know, because you were like, oh,

36

:

do I need to

37

:

sort the house, out?

38

:

you were like, no.

39

:

And I was like, I wish I'd

sorted the house out now.

40

:

It's really dirty for people.

41

:

Dan 1: Oh, I just thought

to myself, no one's actually

42

:

going to come during the day.

43

:

And then, um, Oh, yeah, sorry.

44

:

Tilly: No, don't be

45

:

sorry.

46

:

I don't think anyone actually cares.

47

:

think it's just me being like, I mean,

our bathroom was particularly disgusting.

48

:

Yeah.

49

:

Dan 1: Yeah, but that was,

like, done at the very end.

50

:

Tilly: by accident.

51

:

Yeah,

52

:

and I'm

53

:

Dan 1: and I, That was a, that was a

54

:

story in and of itself.

55

:

So, uh, I for whatever reason am under

dedicated hairdresser's watch just

56

:

to save money until his hair to cut.

57

:

And, um, the objective word.

58

:

However, baby girl wasn't

59

:

in the mood for having the, the

stillness for, for, for silence.

60

:

Tilly: Yeah, and um, so,

61

:

Dan 1: Yeah, and um, so

62

:

I was trying to cut her hair while

she was screaming at me, and we

63

:

couldn't really do anything because

I was in the middle of cutting hair,

64

:

Tilly: my hair,

65

:

Dan 1: and you couldn't pick her up,

she was going to get covered in hair.

66

:

So, did a pretty shit job.

67

:

yeah, well, I mean, I'm not happy with it.

68

:

Also, your hair is dry, usually I do

it wet, so it's a lot easier to Yeah,

69

:

still not the same.

70

:

But Yeah.

71

:

Which is how frequently

when we've got a baby?

72

:

Tilly: a baby.

73

:

It's

74

:

Still about once a week.

75

:

Dan 1: Really?

76

:

Oh, okay, because often

you're like, oh, I finally

77

:

Tilly: It's more like, it doesn't

happen on the day I plan it.

78

:

So like, it might be like, Friday

I'm gonna wash it for the weekend.

79

:

Because even though I don't do any, we

don't like go partying on the weekends.

80

:

So I just have fresh hair for the weekend.

81

:

Um, or on a Sunday for the week.

82

:

One of those days, and often

it just doesn't happen.

83

:

So I end up washing it is like

a silly day to wash your hair.

84

:

I don't know why, but it just does.

85

:

Me, like, washing my hair

because I do it once a week.

86

:

It used to happen, like, for a reason.

87

:

Like, it's the weekend, or the new week.

88

:

Otherwise I'm like, why would

I watch it on a Wednesday?

165

:

Dan 1: did,

166

:

a lot of them does.

167

:

She plays on stereotypes.

168

:

Like the

Mother's Day one that I went

to, it was all about cleaning.

170

:

Tilly: what she

171

:

Dan 1: She was like

spit a tongue in cheek.

172

:

I'm waiting for, I'm annoyed that I didn't

get to go to the Chinese New Year one.

173

:

That one would have been interesting.

174

:

Tilly: going to be.

175

:

It was always the same.

176

:

Um,

177

:

so that'd be fun.

178

:

Wouldn't it, baby girl?

179

:

Yeah.

180

And

181

:

yeah, we did a Korean barbecue.

182

:

Went into town, then we

did a Korean barbecue.

183

:

which was nice.

184

We had lots of grilled meats.

185

:

Tried to give Bubba's a bit of broccoli.

186

:

She wasn't, wasn't up for that.

187

:

We kept passing her over a hot

188

:

grill.

189

:

We didn't drop her.

190

:

Congrats

191

:

Dan 1: But she did

192

:

like pineapple a lot.

193

:

yeah, passing her over the grill

wasn't really the safest Gotta learn,

194

:

age of, age of five months, opportune

time to learn that the grill's hot.

195

:

Yeah,

196

:

Tilly: think It's time to learn.

197

:

It's been hot.

198

:

some things can be saying, like,

199

:

Dan 1: and also That's a Yeah, I know,

but I'm just saying why, like Yeah.

200

:

The association, if you're trying to

build safety in it, don't require the

201

:

Tilly: cold

202

:

tap I suppose,

203

:

Dan 1: Yeah, yeah, fair enough.

204

:

Tilly: Um, so yeah, that was nice,

205

:

Dan 1: And then Wednesday I was back

to work, we didn't really do much.

206

:

Thursday,

207

:

I think we did, didn't

214

:

Dan 1: Thursday, you were at work.

215

:

Dan 1: and I went out to sort

some final things for your

228

229

:

And then sunday

230

:

was hungover and off to

your niece's birthday.

231

:

Tilly: Yeah so like, um, Two of my

sisters and two of my closest friends

232

:

stayed over after a night out.

233

:

Um, so that was lovely.

234

:

So we got to spend some time

with them in the morning and

235

:

like coffee and bits and pieces.

236

:

Yeah, and then we went over

to our nieces third party.

237

:

Well not party, sort of a

family gathering wasn't it?

238

:

Yeah.

239

:

That's obviously me and my two sisters

are all a bit jaded, um, and then

240

:

my sister's two kids, my nieces,

are five and three, and they're high

241

:

energy, and Dan is their playground.

242

:

It's a climbing frame.

243

:

Dan 1: and I wasn't I wasn't like

I hadn't been I hadn't gone out

244

:

with you guys so it wasn't alcohol

But it was just kind of tiredness.

245

:

Um

246

:

what else?

247

:

Anything, anything to discuss, I guess?

248

:

Well, we don't have any

249

:

Tilly: Well, I guess, no, I guess it

was, um, my first proper night out

250

:

that proper my out really, like we went

out last weekend for errands, which was.

251

:

which was lovely, but I didn't

actually drink that much.

252

:

The end to leave early 'cause of my boobs.

253

:

Whereas this one was like,

254

:

Dan 1: I mean, we'll claim it was because

of your boobs and not because of me

255

:

finding it all too overwhelming, but.

256

:

But sure.

257

:

Tilly: Um,

258

:

but yeah,

259

:

So this was first proper,

like, go for drinks, dancing.

260

:

Getting pretty drunk, so that's

when my threshold was really low.

261

:

It was.

262

:

low anyway,

263

:

um, because I didn't massively

drink, but then having not really

264

:

drunk properly in probably about,

265

:

what, 18 months?

266

:

It was

267

:

very, very low and everyone was

like, yeah, you, you were really

268

:

drunk really quickly and I was like.

269

:

what were

270

:

Dan 1: Reading was

271

:

Tilly: I had like a few nibbly bits

it weren't that nice, so not masses.

272

:

I don't think a few nachos with

a cracker is gonna do much.

273

:

But, you know, I felt fine the next day.

274

:

Well, I got a little bit of a headache,

but that went off after about 15 minutes.

275

:

Then I just had a random

sore throat was tired.

276

:

Um, it was good fun.

277

:

Great night.

278

:

Reading is a crackin night out, guys.

279

:

Went to Pot World,

280

:

if anyone's in the local

area, top recommendation, Pot

281

:

World for a cheese and it out.

282

:

It's not classy, it's not classy

and it out, but no one wants that.

283

:

I don't want a trendy, like,

284

:

painfully cool, bar.

285

:

I want people having a fun.

286

:

time,

287

:

Dan 1: We went to

288

:

Tilly: that's what it was.

289

:

We went to Spoons as well,

290

:

and they had no ice, so we had

very lukewarm drinks, that was

291

:

Dan 1: very odd though,

292

:

not having

293

:

Tilly: And nothing for tequila.

294

:

It's like, no like, limes or lemons or

295

:

Dan 1: No salt?

296

:

Tilly: There was sachets of salt?

297

:

on the table we could have

ourselves to but You don't?

298

:

want salt on tequila without the lime.

299

:

That's just grim.

300

:

Just salty tequila.

301

:

Dan 1: Salted.

302

:

Salted

303

:

Tilly: you know, cheap tequila.

304

:

bracing.

305

:

Yeah, it's funny.

306

:

Um, lots of doubts in the script.

307

:

Unbeknownst to me, my siblings

and friends seem to have taken

308

:

lots of pictures and videos of me.

309

:

Um, where I look great.

310

:

Absolutely great.

311

:

Including me

312

:

and my friend,

313

:

you know,

314

:

grinding on a wall.

315

:

trying to impress someone so

they'd buy us free drinks.

316

:

Um, you know, not seriously.

317

:

Um,

318

:

And it made me realise, oh

yeah, we are thirsty now.

319

:

Dan 1: Yeah,

320

:

Tilly: Yep.

321

:

Dan 1: yeah

322

:

Tilly: Yep.

323

:

Yep.

324

:

Yep.

325

:

Yep.

326

:

good times around and then today's, yeah,

it's a very slow day today, isn't it?

327

:

Dan 1: So what

328

:

I didn't tell

329

:

Tilly: on

330

:

Dan 1: the Saturday, you know when I was

going out when I went out with baby girl

331

:

So you could just continue like some

of the house out and stuff like that.

332

:

Tilly: Yeah.

333

:

Dan 1: Um, I was just kind of

walking around the street for

334

:

She was holding my hands

because she was facing forwards.

335

:

And so it was kind of like doing

336

:

little dance

337

:

moves as

338

:

we walked around, like moving

her hands as I stepped.

339

:

And I got very weirdly heckled.

340

:

I think it was meaning me.

341

:

But there's a bloke who just

continued walking straight past.

342

:

It didn't really make any eye

contact with me or anything.

343

:

But, as he went past me, he

looked like he'd be a drunkard.

344

:

But as he went past me, he said,

345

:

Your missus is shaggin other blokes.

346

:

Didn't,

347

:

didn't look at me at all, just kept going.

348

:

Tilly: just kept going.

349

:

Right, right.

350

:

How do you assume that?

351

:

Dan 1: can only assume that.

352

:

But it was, it was very odd,

because it wasn't even like,

353

:

Tilly: even like Also,

it's like very ironic to

354

:

Dan 1: But also, it's like very ironic

to call somebody a pussy but say it

355

:

really quietly and not even look at them

at the same time because that's what I

356

:

would assume he means when he says that.

357

:

Unless maybe he just

358

:

can't, maybe he's got some form of

Tourette's where he just can't hold

359

:

in what he thinks and that's what

he thought and he's like fuck, don't

360

:

look at it, So yeah, it's quite an

361

:

Interesting,

362

:

interesting echo and I

just kind of was like,

363

:

okay, that'll

364

:

Tilly: Hang on.

365

:

We sleep sleep

366

:

with someone

367

:

Dan 1: it.

368

:

Tilly: Um, I'll actually

to shave with someone else.

369

:

I think it was

370

:

my birthday, Yeah, it's a birthday.

371

:

We were waiting for you

outside Primark, because

372

:

me and Bubz went into town for a

little bit while you were doing some

373

:

editing before we went for Korean BBQ.

374

:

Dan 1: Oh yeah, yeah,

375

:

Tilly: yeah.

376

:

Um, we were just sat there, us

was just having a look around.

377

:

And this

378

:

woman who was just very clearly

off her fucking I think was

379

:

off her tits quite a lot.

380

:

Had very few teeth.

381

:

Um, very

382

:

dishevelled.

383

:

was talking to me and I sort of had

her sort of and was like, sorry,

384

:

Um,

385

:

and she's

386

:

going, oh, that's a really

cute, cute baby boy.

387

:

I was like, I can't look to correct it.

388

:

I was like, yeah, Um,

389

:

I'd sort of

390

:

pulled out this really manky, ugly toy.

391

:

I was like, oh, this is,

392

:

This is my kid.

393

:

And I was like, oh, that's nice.

394

:

And she's like, I don't

see I was like, oh, sorry.

395

:

And then before I could stop her,

396

:

she

397

:

was like, can I kiss him and

just let in and kiss Ola?

398

:

and I was like, Oh,

399

:

Dan 1: ahhh.

400

:

And

401

:

Tilly: would have said no.

402

:

Um, I don't really mind people touching

I'm not, I'm not someone, as you know,

403

:

I'm not

404

:

like, germy, like anti germy, but I

405

:

am

406

:

germy probably myself, But.

407

:

I'm not anti germs, but

408

:

I don't want a stranger kissing her.

409

:

Dan 1: it's not just a stranger kissing

her, it's somebody that looks like they

410

:

don't take care of themselves or hasn't

washed in a very long period of time,

411

:

Tilly: But, you know.

412

:

Um,

413

:

Dan 1: um, and then the other thing was

walking back for her, having all the gear.

414

:

was an awkward one.

415

:

Because it's also, it's like, night?

416

:

Yeah so, if anyone doesn't know, you get

kicked out of drinking establishments

417

:

if you have any children under

418

:

18 with you at about 9pm.

419

:

Now this is just blanket under 18,

they don't look at a baby and go,

420

:

well they're not And so I got kicked

out on 9, at 9, but it was also

421

:

like, the Super Saturday, and St.

422

:

Patrick's So loads of like

drunk guys all sort of bundling

423

:

around all over the place.

424

:

So you get lots of

425

:

sort of

426

:

aggressive flash looks like

people looking at staring at

427

:

you at the corner of your eye.

428

:

And usually I don't really care about it.

429

:

I'm usually quite oblivious to it,

430

:

and I just walk along in my own world.

431

:

Um, but I'm obviously a lot more

432

:

Defensive when I know

that I've got her on me,

433

:

Tilly: have her

434

:

Dan 1: especially because I had to

have her covered up because it was

435

:

Because her head was just flying

all over the place because

436

:

Tilly: that I

437

:

Dan 1: no one could

tell that I had a baby.

438

:

I just looked real weird

439

:

fat was worried that somebody was just

440

:

Tilly: going to

441

:

Dan 1: that he was gonna

fight me for no reason

442

:

and then next time over

443

:

baby Zoe gets instead of myself

444

:

And so that was an

445

:

Tilly: I'm just fine.

446

:

Dan 1: Yeah, usually I'm just like Just

obliviously like if, I don't rise to it,

447

:

no one's just gonna punch me randomly.

448

:

Tilly: of everything when

you've got your child with you.

449

:

Like, I definitely am.

450

:

When I'm walking down the street,

I'm like, oh, that's, that's a

451

:

Dan 1: Did I tell you about the um,

452

:

the little racist

453

:

altercation

454

:

Tilly: way

455

:

Dan 1: So I'm on my way home,

456

:

and I see another

457

:

classic Oxford Road Reading drunkard.

458

:

Coming along.

459

:

She's one of the, she's like a woman in

her sort of late 50s, early 60s Traveling

460

:

with walking along with this of tall on

461

:

Tilly: are we just done

462

:

with, are we done

463

:

Dan 1: Sorry, so I was saying,

on my way back, yeah, there

464

:

was this, uh, this drunken lady

465

:

in her late fifties,

466

:

early sixties

467

:

or whatever.

468

:

Um, and one of these kind

of, silent types in tow.

469

:

Very, um, downtrodden

looking bloke and a very

470

:

overly mouthy looking woman.

471

:

Um, and just as we're passing

472

:

One of the like, uh, Indian or

Turkish international shops.

473

:

It was the Indian one,

474

:

just at the, um,

475

:

Tilly: The little fruit and veg?

476

:

Dan 1: yeah, all the fruit and veg.

477

:

For whatever reason, everyone walks

478

:

really slowly

479

:

on that one

480

:

stretch.

481

:

And they take up loads

482

:

of the

483

:

Tilly: the pavement.

484

:

Dan 1: And,

485

:

And, They take up loads of the pavement

with, like, the fruit and veg as well.

486

:

Now, I'm not really that bothered.

487

:

It annoys me slightly,

488

:

slowly, and I kind of,

489

:

Tilly: So she,

490

:

Dan 1: yeah, I just go around.

491

:

However, she was not in

the mood for going around,

492

:

so she, she just shouted, FUCK!

493

:

Get the fuck out my way, or

something, as she was going through.

494

:

And then she realized that one of

the people standing outside of the

495

:

shop was this, uh, young family.

496

:

Um.

497

:

and then she, and then she Was about to

apologize for swearing just as the mum

498

:

looked around looked really agitated at

her for swearing Oh, baby's got the mic.

499

:

Baby's got the mic.

500

:

There we go.

501

:

Baby hijacking the podcast as per usual

502

:

So she was about to apologize for

swearing just as this woman got irate

503

:

at her for swearing Well, not irate.

504

:

Gave her a glare.

505

:

That's daring.

506

:

And then she, Yep, baby's,

baby's wanting her moment again.

507

:

Oh, she's chewing on the

508

:

mic she's chewing She's chewing,

509

:

on the

510

:

Tilly: on the mic.

511

:

Everything.

512

:

Is it

513

:

tipping her off?

514

:

Dan 1: yeah, put the tit in your mouth

515

:

Tilly: Okay, I'll just

516

:

hold on to the mic.

517

:

Dan 1: Or if you want

518

:

you can just take it out of

the holder and let she hold it.

519

:

Tilly: Okay.

520

:

Dan 1: Um, and so gave her a glare.

521

:

And then she obviously took

massive umbrage at this glare,

522

:

given that she was drunk.

523

:

Tilly: Mmhmm.

524

:

Dan 1: And so they proceeded

to have a She just, the other,

525

:

the family, the lady there just kept

taking the piss out of her and didn't

526

:

really respond to her, just kept like,

527

:

um, not verbally, but just kept mimicking

her and doing all sorts of And so she

528

:

just kept getting more and more angry.

529

:

It was hilarious, because

it was like watching a

530

:

mime,

531

:

versus a A really drunk, angry person,

532

:

because they would just keep

doing things like mimic, this one

533

:

would just keep mimicking her in

ways that were obviously about,

534

:

And

535

:

she would just get more and more

irate because the woman wouldn't,

536

:

she'd be like,

537

:

what's that about?

538

:

What are you doing?

539

:

And she wouldn't explain herself.

540

:

So she'd get more and more irate.

541

:

And then eventually

542

:

the

543

:

woman started like, you know,

giving her the middle finger or

544

:

flipping her off or whatever.

545

:

Tilly: What the mum was doing this

or the drunk lady was doing this?

546

:

Dan 1: the mum was doing it,

547

:

Tilly: Great

548

:

example to

549

:

their children.

550

:

Dan 1: so then this was, this was the

551

:

point then, she was then like,

552

:

I was going to say sorry for

swearing to you, but you're

553

:

now fucking swearing at me,

554

:

You're

555

:

a fucking disgrace, how can you be a

mother, you fucking awful person, you

556

:

shouldn't be allowed to have a child, do

you know what, I don't know if you know

557

:

this, but in England, we don't let mums

do that, I'm going to call social service,

558

:

they're going to take that kid

away, I'm going to make sure of it.

559

:

I'm

560

:

going to call them now.

561

:

And I was like, yep,

562

:

because you got them on a hot, you got

them on speed dial and they respond

563

:

at 9, at 9pm on a Saturday night,

564

:

social services.

565

:

I'm gonna, I'm gonna be like,

yes, this six year old drunk

566

:

woman, she makes an ideal point.

567

:

Yeah, 60.

568

:

Tilly: Oh, I said six year old.

569

:

The six year old drunk.

570

:

Dan 1: This six year old drunk

woman, she's got a point.

571

:

Let's send out fast response

team, grab that kid.

572

:

Um, and so she just burst into this

racist tirade of, I don't know if you

573

:

know this, but in England we don't

574

:

do that.

575

:

Don't know where you're from.

576

:

And all this

577

:

Tilly: God, that's never

578

:

Dan 1: And I was just

like, yep, this is classic.

579

:

Tilly: Um, so

580

:

that was

581

:

Dan 1: Um, so that was entertaining.

582

:

That was entertaining.

583

:

I was considering just kind

of walking in and being like,

584

:

asking

585

:

for directions or

something to distract her.

586

:

And then have her be, and

then have her take me there,

587

:

pretend that I'm really lost.

588

:

But I was just like,

again, I've got Zoe with

589

:

me.

590

:

Yeah, you're happy now.

591

:

You're happy now.

592

:

Oh, yeah, you get to

look at screens as well.

593

:

You're forbidden screen.

594

:

Um, but yeah, so again, I was

like, I won't bother because it's

595

:

not worth

596

:

Tilly: Also, there's something about you,

as a personality, that does just like,

597

:

escalate situations.

598

:

Not

599

:

Dan 1: don't count things

when I escalate things, do I?

600

:

You

601

:

Tilly: You don't often seem to, but

you wouldn't, I mean, like, I think in

602

:

real life, when it's actually, like,

stuff, like, with people you know.

603

:

and things, I think you can.

604

:

But I think people don't know

605

:

you.

606

:

I think you can often escalate things.

607

:

Because you're quite direct.

608

:

You're a big person.

609

:

so people are already on

the sort of defensive often.

610

:

Because they sort of see this

big bloke coming at Um, And then

611

:

because you're very like, forthright

and like, straightforward, I

612

:

think people will be like, people

will find that a bit aggressive.

613

:

Dan 1: and all that.

614

:

Tilly: what I'll do.

615

:

the direction.

616

:

Dan 1: I've got so

617

:

um

618

:

Tilly: so baby's teething

619

:

Dan 1: Yeah, so baby's teething is

is nearly at the first puncture so

620

:

that's pretty good for we've got a

lot of scat chat to discuss don't we

621

:

So, anything else you

want to discuss this week?

622

:

Tilly: No?

623

:

Dan 1: No.

624

:

Okay.

625

:

Tilly: I

626

:

think other than sort of like, you know,

it was her birthday which doesn't really

627

:

got much to do with her, and going out,

628

:

Dan 1: mean, you can discuss

things that don't have anything

629

:

Tilly: No, no, but I

didn't, didn't do much else

630

:

Dan 1: So, on to the

highs, lows, funnies, then.

631

:

Tilly: Do you, do you have

anything else you want to discuss?

632

:

Dan 1: No.

633

:

No, I mean

634

:

Tilly: Your eyes look very green today.

635

:

Dan 1: this light.

636

:

darling.

637

:

It's this light.

638

:

Tilly: Hmm.

639

:

Dan 1: White light, because

my eyes look yeah, highs,

640

:

Tilly: Highs, Lows, Funnies.

641

:

What do I have

642

:

this week?

643

:

Dan 1: fucking around

with the mic, as usual.

644

:

Um.

645

:

Tilly: Um.

646

:

Well, I think highs has been like,

it's just we've had a lot of like,

647

:

nice time, together this week because

you had that Monday Tuesday off.

648

:

Dan 1: an issue.

649

:

Tilly: So it's just been nice

having lots of family time together.

650

:

Um, and because like, your work's

starting to wind down, you've got more

651

:

relaxed days as well, so we're getting

a bit more time together just generally.

652

:

Oh, good.

653

:

Um, which was nice.

654

:

Um, and then obviously

655

:

we had a lovely time seeing everyone.

656

:

I felt very supported by my

friends and family and you.

657

:

Dan 1: point

658

:

it.

659

:

Good.

660

:

Tilly: Yeah, it was really nice.

661

:

I really enjoyed it.

662

:

You know, I don't get to see all

my people, other people, together

663

:

very often, so that was lovely.

664

:

Um, yeah, and obviously they're

people that I, I love a lot.

665

:

Dan 1: high was my town excursion on

Saturday night, other than, Saturday

666

:

afternoon, other than being heckled.

667

:

Yeah?

668

:

Quite enjoyed just walking around

the fair, stepping around, having

669

:

a nice little stroll through town.

670

:

It's quite nice and chilled, it's like,

671

:

you know what, if we can

do this throughout shared

672

:

parental leave, it'll be quite

673

:

Tilly: it's nice.

674

:

isn't it?

675

:

Unless she

676

:

Dan 1: Yeah, yeah.

677

:

I was

678

:

Tilly: I walk into town, For not much

reason often just because it's quite nice.

679

:

Dan 1: pint down the next

head quite regularly.

680

:

Yeah, just half a

681

:

Tilly: My daddy's gonna come

in, you know, catch alcoholic

682

:

Dan 1: Alky.

683

:

I was just drinking, I drink half

a pint on my way into town, on

684

:

my way back from town, everyday.

685

:

And I walk into town, and I'm

like, day, just to keep the baby

686

:

Tilly: Just to catch five pints

a day, you know, Yeah, no, it's

687

:

I like walking around with her.

688

:

It's just nice But she

now now she's facing me.

689

:

Outwards and she's like you can see

she's looking and exploring and she

690

:

looks at people and she's interested

And obviously people react well to

691

:

her because she's just, just cutie.

692

:

We get people coming up to you.

693

:

Dan 1: I just get people going,

oh my gosh, cute baby, or you can

694

:

hear people like nudging other

695

:

Tilly: oh, Yeah.

696

:

Dan 1: Or

697

:

just telling you that your

wife's shagging on the blokes.

698

:

Tilly: Yeah?

699

:

that classic as Well

People don't tell me that.

700

:

People don't go Your husband's

clearly shagging another woman.

701

:

my heart.

702

:

Do you know your line?

703

:

Dan 1: that was my high.

704

:

Do you know your low?

705

:

Do you have any?

706

:

Throat pain.

707

:

Tilly: Yeah,

708

:

Dan 1: unreasonable throat

709

:

Tilly: Yeah, I don't know what it was,

like one gland was like, Fuck you!

710

:

You

711

:

don't get to drink.

712

:

Um,

713

:

yeah,

714

:

I always find out if I've had like

a heavy night of drinking, I wake

715

:

up, I don't necessarily feel like,

hangover in the classic sense, but

716

:

I always feel really hot and stuffy,

and my eyes are always a bit sore.

717

:

Um, so that wasn't fun, but

I'm not particularly low, it's

718

:

just, Payback for

drinking, isn't it, really?

719

:

Dan 1: Yeah.

720

:

Tilly: Um, well,

721

:

Um,

722

:

So,

723

:

no, no massive lows

724

:

this week.

725

:

Do you have any particular lows this week?

726

:

Dan 1: Um, I think, I think Saturday

night when I got back from, from,

727

:

having dinner with you and she was

overtired, because we'd obviously

728

:

kept her awake all afternoon, and then

while we were in the, uh, the club,

729

:

Revolucion de Cuba, the club,

uh, she also wasn't sleeping.

730

:

so she slept the walk home, but

731

:

then when I got home, you know,

I had to sort of, you Sort out

732

:

the, the, the blow up beds,

733

:

spare, like, all the

sort of places for people

734

:

Tilly: And these

735

:

Dan 1: out the clothes in our bedroom

and all these sorts of things so

736

:

that it was all kind of ready.

737

:

And

738

:

she just wasn't having any of it.

739

:

So she kept kicking off at me and going

like, you know, when she gets proper

740

:

red eye screaming and then tears,

741

:

Tilly: she

742

:

Dan 1: and she gets real exasperated.

743

:

So eventually I kind of just paused,

gave up, went in, went, climbed into bed.

744

:

And um, had some bottle,

but then I fell asleep as

745

:

well.

746

:

So we both ended up just

asleep for like two hours.

747

:

And then I woke up at about

half eleven, midnight.

748

:

I was like, oh shit, still

got all this stuff to do.

749

:

I don't know what time

they're coming back.

750

:

Managed to kind of slowly

roll her into the next to me.

751

:

And then um,

752

:

set off the uh,

753

:

The airbed going at midnight,

so I'm sure our neighbors were

754

:

rather pissed off as I Blasted the

airbed, but she didn't wake up.

755

:

So hopefully the neighbors

didn't hear it either,

756

:

Tilly: I think it's quite

like a white noisy noise.

757

:

Dan 1: Yeah, but it sounds

like a very aggressive

758

:

vacuum at like midnight

759

:

Tilly: if they're here at the moment.

760

:

Dan 1: and then Yeah, so she was just

a bit, a bit aggro while I, while I

761

:

knew I had quite a bit of stuff to do,

762

:

um,

763

:

Yeah, but after that

764

:

she

765

:

calmed down once she got a,

she got a proper during that.

766

:

Tilly: very happy we all got home.

767

:

Yeah,

768

:

Dan 1: had a sleep, she

was ready to party again.

769

:

Tilly: Yeah.

770

:

Dan 1: Ready to party.

771

:

Tilly: And then mumma

passed out in bed next to

772

:

Dan 1: Yeah.

773

:

do you

774

:

Tilly: I mean, probably

the whole night out.

775

:

On Saturday.

776

:

Dan 1: Grinding on that, on that wall.

777

:

Tilly: Just dancing, just

778

:

having a good time, like

779

:

Me and two of my sisters decided

we'd like go to all those classic

780

:

photo booths that you get.

781

:

And take pictures, you know.

782

:

And The first one we obviously

didn't know it was going to happen.

783

:

so We were completely caught off guard.

784

:

And we were just like, we all look shit.

785

:

Um,

786

:

and I mean, the other three aren't much

787

:

better.

788

:

But, yeah, no, good, like, fun memories.

789

:

And, oh, I drank some wine

off my ice skates, classic.

790

:

Dan 1: Yeah, yeah.

791

:

Tilly: That's what you do.

792

:

Dan 1: You're drinking Smirnoff

793

:

Tilly: Forgot how fucking sweet it is.

794

:

Dan 1: That's quite a

drink, so much of it.

795

:

Tilly: I didn't drink that much of it.

796

:

I

797

:

Dan 1: Whole two bottles, how

798

:

Tilly: think it was max two bottles

799

:

Dan 1: do think

800

:

Tilly: It was.

801

:

And it's just mainly sugar, isn't it?

802

:

It's not so much alcohol

in the smell of things.

803

:

Which is probably good for me, actually.

804

:

Dan 1: I

805

:

Tilly: Yeah.

806

:

Those WKDs as well, I was like,

maybe I should like, I think,

807

:

probably vomit inducing to me.

808

:

But it's got a little bit of lemon,

yeah, it's got a slight edge to it.

809

:

Whereas, whereas

810

:

blue,

811

:

WKDs, is that?

812

:

Just blue.

813

:

Blue flavour.

814

:

Dan 1: blue.

815

:

Okay, my funny was, I

think it was Thursday,

816

:

Tilly: Yeah.

817

:

Dan 1: I was lying in bed,

818

:

and I was

819

:

having a sexy dream,

820

:

Tilly: about me, obviously.

821

:

Dan 1: at night.

822

:

I can't remember what it was about.

823

:

I think it was one of those weird ones

whereby the The topic of the dream

824

:

is very strange if you think about it

objectively, like for some reason I

825

:

think it had monks involved, but anyway.

826

:

Tilly: classic.

827

:

He doesn't find a monk sexy,

828

:

Dan 1: I don't know why, but

I think there was something,

829

:

something monastic about the dream.

830

:

Um, and then I, uh,

831

:

and

832

:

then I got nudged, and you know like,

Done, what, and you rolled her over

833

:

and just placed her between us and

she started doing, you know, her just

834

:

kicking.

835

:

thing, where she just kicks her legs.

836

:

She just kept kicking my boner.

837

:

She was just running that thing,

838

:

just kept getting booted in the penis.

839

:

And I was like, okay, I'm awake,

and the dream's definitely over.

840

:

It's

841

:

Tilly: penis is definitely going down.

842

:

Dan 1: And turns out she needed a nappy

843

:

change as I got kicked in

the dick by, by my baby.

844

:

And I So yeah, mine.

845

:

I was like, well, there's no more

rude awakening and definitely

846

:

no longer in whatever this sex

847

:

dream is,

848

:

in this monastery.

849

:

Tilly: dungeon.

850

:

It's Monastery.

851

:

I can't remember,

852

:

Dan 1: I can't, I don't, I, some, yeah.

853

:

how about you?

854

:

Tilly: I told you my pun is,

855

:

I

856

:

Dan 1: Oh yeah, you did.

857

:

Tilly: can tell we're not with it today.

858

:

I

859

:

Dan 1: I mean, I always do that actually.

860

:

Sometimes I listen back to the episode and

I realise that I make you do like three

861

:

Tilly: funny.

862

:

place.

863

:

And another one!

864

:

Dan 1: And another funny face!

865

:

You always have to do

two for my every one.

866

:

It's

867

:

Tilly: That's classic our life, guys.

868

:

Dan 1: lifeguide.

869

:

Oh, alrighty.

870

:

How many times are you meant

to take in those casts to

871

:

be rechecked

872

:

before I have to just do

873

:

it?

874

:

Yeah, how many

875

:

times did

876

:

I

877

:

try and do it?

878

:

did I successfully do it?

879

:

many

880

:

Tilly: Okay.

881

:

You said you were gonna

do it and didn't do it

882

:

Dan 1: recall any of

883

:

Tilly: that's funny that,

that's so funny that, yeah.

884

:

Very selective memory,

885

:

Dan 1: Yeah, yeah, I

886

:

Tilly: really.

887

:

Sure.

888

:

Bad.

889

:

It needs to be, yeah.

890

:

Dan 1: mean, I wouldn't say based on need,

just general, just so happens that it's

891

:

Tilly: coincidence.

892

:

Uhhuh, Winky, dinks.

893

:

All right then, So we do a,

894

:

Dan 1: do a a lot.

895

:

We've

896

:

Tilly: she's been shitting hard.

897

:

this week.

898

:

Dan 1: shitting real hard.

899

:

But like, not

900

:

Tilly: But like, not that often.

901

:

Dan 1: one a day,

902

:

Tilly: like generally,

generally it's one a day.

903

:

That's our standard.

904

:

She's not a

905

:

Well, three is one.

906

:

And then, or like, but then there's been

like a couple of times where she's not

907

:

poofed for like a day or a couple of

days and suddenly it's been like, oh no.

908

:

I think she's not pooed

for like a day and a half.

909

:

It was on Thursday and then like

just for mum and pops were coming

910

:

to look after her that day.

911

:

I put her in a nice cute outfit.

912

:

We don't tend to do

that often, but I tried.

913

:

to make it a nice outfit for Nana

914

:

I sat on the bed while I was

getting ready, and I don't know,

915

:

I just came right down from the shower.

916

:

looked at her,

917

:

She gets like,

918

:

I feel like

919

:

her eyes get slightly red around,

the, before she does the poo, I

920

:

think maybe she's just straining.

921

:

she

922

:

gets really quiet, and I was like, oh no,

923

:

I'm just gonna do this,

but it didn't sound like

924

:

it was that big.

925

:

but it, oh my god, it was, wasn't it?

926

:

I had to call you upstairs.

927

:

Dan 1: Yeah.

928

:

So it

929

:

Tilly: so we had

930

:

to like, give her a good

wipe down, change her outfit,

931

:

give it to Nana, all good,

932

:

I came back from work.

933

:

Dan 1: it made me late for

934

:

Tilly: maybe also late for work.

935

:

Dan 1: It made us both late for work.

936

:

Tilly: Um,

937

:

and then I came back, I was

like, oh, she's done any more.

938

:

No, she be absolute fine.

939

:

I was said, okay, thank

God she's been fine.

940

:

Literally as soon as mum

left, big shit again.

941

:

Dan 1: shitter.

942

:

There's another one

943

:

Tilly: And then she did

another one later on that.

944

:

day.

945

:

as well.

946

:

Like it was just a, that

was a heavy shit day.

947

:

But she just did quite

a few over flowy poos,

948

:

isn't

949

:

Dan 1: one of Just pure liquid, wasn't it?

950

:

seeped out all over.

951

:

Mummy had just put you

in a nice white outfit.

952

:

Stop nutting the mic.

953

:

Of course you're not going to enjoy that.

954

:

I think somebody might need a nappy

955

:

Tilly: Probably gonna feed,

956

:

Okay, so look at this one.

957

:

Hotel rooms don't generally

have changing tables.

958

:

So, so I changed my newly mobile

baby on a towel on the floor.

959

:

I thought it was funny when he escaped

clean but diaperless and the drapes to,

960

:

Dan 1: Okay.

961

:

This good?

962

:

Tilly: Yeah.

963

:

okay.

964

:

Clean but diaperless

965

:

and Crawl

966

:

between the couch and the drapes to play

an adorable game of pantless peekaboo.

967

:

Delightful.

968

:

Until that is, he quietly

took a big shit on the carpet.

969

:

Mid peak.

970

:

turns out

971

:

it is possible to clean

shit out of a carpet

972

:

with a washcloth and a

barb hotel hand soap.

973

:

I was still glad we were

checking out that morning.

974

:

Dan 1: Yeah, I wonder if she got fined.

975

:

Tilly: Oh, she doesn't say.

976

:

I've

977

:

Dan 1: Okay, my turn My first visit

to work with my mum's old baby.

978

:

All I bought was my wallet.

979

:

Crikey,

980

:

great

981

:

Tilly: What a fool!

982

:

Dan 1: No diaper bag.

983

:

No diapers.

984

:

Sure enough as she's making the

rounds Everyone cooing over her.

985

:

She takes a huge shit.

986

:

Yeah your first

987

:

visit

988

:

to work.

989

:

I wonder what all your colleagues

think You're underprepared.

990

:

That's what they What saved

me in my rookie stupidity?

991

:

I was in the office of a woman's magazine

The story ends with me changing her

992

:

on a meeting table Bubble envelope as

a changing pad using makeup remover

993

:

wipes and a single sample diaper.

994

:

There

995

:

Tilly: I thought it was going to be like

a sanitary towel as well as the midgeting.

996

:

Dan 1: Yeah,

997

:

Okay, I'm waiting at the doctor's office.

998

:

She's late and my two month old girl

is fussy, so I'm bouncing her in a

999

:

carrier carrier around the waiting room.

:

00:36:30,776 --> 00:36:31,785

Like a crazy person.

:

00:36:32,346 --> 00:36:36,444

A nice old lady points at me,

points at my leg saying, uhoh, uhoh.

:

00:36:37,075 --> 00:36:42,626

I look down and that running yellow poo

is leaking down my jeans past my knees.

:

00:36:44,402 --> 00:36:47,486

A nurse gave me a private room

to change, but all of the stuff I

:

00:36:47,486 --> 00:36:48,785

lugged with me, no clean outfits.

:

00:36:49,644 --> 00:36:51,168

I've never thought to pack our own

:

00:36:51,682 --> 00:36:52,547

Tilly: Well, no, of course not.

:

00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,748

Dan 1: No, I'm I stripped her down,

used her sleeper to wipe my jeans,

:

00:36:57,159 --> 00:36:58,290

and wrapped her in a blanket.

:

00:36:58,654 --> 00:37:00,290

The doctor just laughed when she saw us.

:

00:37:00,963 --> 00:37:04,692

After the appointment, I hauled ass to

the car with my naked baby, like I'd just

:

00:37:04,710 --> 00:37:06,224

stolen something from a corner store.

:

00:37:06,692 --> 00:37:07,748

Never forgot outfits

:

00:37:08,065 --> 00:37:08,336

again.

:

00:37:08,337 --> 00:37:09,208

I assume she means

:

00:37:09,290 --> 00:37:10,411

Tilly: I think she was a baby Yeah, it's

:

00:37:10,869 --> 00:37:12,234

Dan 1: she now just carries around, like

:

00:37:12,570 --> 00:37:15,514

Tilly: I was gonna say like she'd

maybe got some scrubs or something, but

:

00:37:16,710 --> 00:37:17,913

Dan 1: it smells like Sure, sure.

:

00:37:17,913 --> 00:37:18,650

After you choose

:

00:37:24,308 --> 00:37:24,636

Tilly: Okay.

:

00:37:24,804 --> 00:37:26,939

My newborn daughter's shit did not stink.

:

00:37:28,722 --> 00:37:30,449

It's smell was reminiscent of popcorn.

:

00:37:32,393 --> 00:37:32,411

Ha!

:

00:37:33,682 --> 00:37:37,075

After introducing solid foods though,

their poops became smelly recaps

:

00:37:37,075 --> 00:37:38,215

of the meals we'd shared together.

:

00:37:39,365 --> 00:37:39,523

If a

:

00:37:39,523 --> 00:37:39,916

hundred

:

00:37:39,916 --> 00:37:40,477

blueberries

:

00:37:40,682 --> 00:37:43,383

or black beans went in,

a hundred would come out.

:

00:37:43,514 --> 00:37:47,813

embedded in fecal matter,

How But otherwise unchanged.

:

00:37:47,813 --> 00:37:47,977

Are

:

00:37:48,556 --> 00:37:48,743

Dan 1: them?

:

00:37:49,257 --> 00:37:50,313

Are you giving them whole?

:

00:37:51,472 --> 00:37:51,827

It's a hundred

:

00:37:52,453 --> 00:37:53,285

blueberries, or

:

00:37:53,888 --> 00:37:55,346

Tilly: you're not allowed to give them

whole, you have to cut them in half.

:

00:37:55,607 --> 00:37:55,925

But, yes.

:

00:37:56,593 --> 00:37:57,631

Dan 1: sure you're making a like

:

00:37:58,084 --> 00:37:58,813

Tilly: No, you get baby solids.

:

00:37:58,813 --> 00:38:00,327

I'm giving her solids

pretty much straight away.

:

00:38:00,327 --> 00:38:01,533

It's far more interesting for the baby.

:

00:38:02,374 --> 00:38:02,776

Handheld.

:

00:38:02,780 --> 00:38:03,042

Dan 1: just

:

00:38:04,598 --> 00:38:06,187

Tilly: Well, because, remember, until

they're a year, they're not actually

:

00:38:06,187 --> 00:38:07,449

getting nutrition from their food,

:

00:38:07,734 --> 00:38:08,182

Dan 1: Oh,

:

00:38:08,308 --> 00:38:09,551

Tilly: They're still getting

pretty much all the nutrition

:

00:38:09,551 --> 00:38:10,935

from formula or breast milk.

:

00:38:11,402 --> 00:38:13,449

The only thing they're getting is a

bit of iron, because your breast milk

:

00:38:13,449 --> 00:38:14,402

doesn't give them enough iron after

:

00:38:15,363 --> 00:38:16,016

Dan 1: into

:

00:38:16,065 --> 00:38:16,757

Tilly: iron rich foods.

:

00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:17,664

Dan 1: button.

:

00:38:17,664 --> 00:38:23,430

Some eye Anyway, A bucks

:

00:38:24,065 --> 00:38:24,393

Tilly: steak.

:

00:38:24,411 --> 00:38:25,037

You don't have salt,

:

00:38:25,037 --> 00:38:25,336

really.

:

00:38:25,468 --> 00:38:25,902

Dan 1: Dermatitis,

:

00:38:26,523 --> 00:38:28,944

Tilly: Anyway, a hundred would come out.

:

00:38:29,028 --> 00:38:30,477

Better than faecal matter, but otherwise

:

00:38:30,523 --> 00:38:31,103

unchanged.

:

00:38:31,748 --> 00:38:35,262

Recently, our daycare provider forgot

to put a disposable Liner between

:

00:38:35,271 --> 00:38:35,402

Em's

:

00:38:35,841 --> 00:38:37,991

bum and the absorbent

pad of her cloth diaper.

:

00:38:38,991 --> 00:38:42,738

She's just We use liners so

that the poo can be dumped.

:

00:38:42,738 --> 00:38:45,935

into the toilet instead of

being mashed into the cloth.

:

00:38:46,103 --> 00:38:48,804

Fair Em took a dump in the

linerless diaper, which made it's

:

00:38:48,804 --> 00:38:50,290

way back to us in a bag, with

:

00:38:50,290 --> 00:38:51,720

the other soiled cloth diapers.

:

00:38:52,037 --> 00:38:52,374

Lovely.

:

00:38:52,860 --> 00:38:54,963

That night, as my partner

breastfed and enjoyed some

:

00:38:54,963 --> 00:38:55,271

quiet

:

00:38:55,271 --> 00:38:58,047

time with Em, I was in the

bathroom scraping at the faeces.

:

00:38:58,551 --> 00:39:00,037

Faeces is a horrible, just say poo.

:

00:39:01,056 --> 00:39:05,458

In her fouled diaper, with delicate wads

of toilet paper, Em had eaten black beans.

:

00:39:06,107 --> 00:39:06,444

And,

:

00:39:07,229 --> 00:39:07,930

a whole lot else.

:

00:39:07,958 --> 00:39:08,584
