Tilly: 00:00:00

Hello lovelies, and welcome to this week's episode where we're

2

: 00:00:02

going to be talking about all things

weaning and what babies scoff in,

3

: 00:00:05

and she is a good scoffer, as well as

how we plan to tackle big transition

4

: 00:00:10

from our bedroom to her own bedroom.

5

: 00:00:13

Stay tuned.

6

: 00:00:40

Dan 1: Good morning everyone.

7

: 00:00:42

Tilly: Good morning.

8

: 00:00:43

Good morning's.

9

: 00:00:45

The morning.

10

: 00:00:46

Dan 1: Yeah, so I think Tilly's

gonna be bringing the energy.

11

: 00:00:49

This is about as much energy as you're

getting from me and it'll slowly

12

: 00:00:51

fade off throughout the episode.

13

: 00:00:54

Tilly: They're both pretty this week, so

we'll get, we'll get into wine a bit, but

14

: 00:00:58

I had my night off last night, so Iven

15

: 00:01:01

Dan 1: Yeah.

16

: 00:01:02

Tilly: just,

17

: 00:01:02

Dan 1: By night off she means

as in she got to sleep in the

18

: 00:01:04

spare room and I had baby.

19

: 00:01:07

Tilly: Bring in for feed during the.

20

: 00:01:09

Dan 1: Yeah.

21

: 00:01:09

How's your camera now?

22

: 00:01:11

Oh, this is the problem

23

: 00:01:13

Tilly: I always end it.

24

: 00:01:14

Dan 1: You can't really remember

where things start and end.

25

: 00:01:18

Tilly: Ha ha ha ha ha ha Yeah, I'm

not very good at staying still.

26

: 00:01:21

But yeah, how's your week been?

27

: 00:01:23

Let's jump into it.

28

: 00:01:24

I

29

: 00:01:30

Dan 1: How's my week been?

30

: 00:01:32

I it's been alright.

31

: 00:01:35

You tell me, how have I been?

32

: 00:01:38

Tilly: think you felt better.

33

: 00:01:38

You've definitely felt less down

34

: 00:01:42

Dan 1: Yeah, so,

35

: 00:01:42

Tilly: and less overwhelmed this week.

36

: 00:01:50

Dan 1: are just to do with trying

to create routine with the baby,

37

: 00:01:52

which is actually impossible to do.

38

: 00:01:55

And so I just gave up and let the baby

control what, what time she fucking

39

: 00:01:59

wanted to sleep, and I just decided

that I was going to make sure that

40

: 00:02:02

I had whatever I wanted to do near

enough that if she fell asleep, I

41

: 00:02:07

Crack on with those things rather than

trying to structure them at times.

42

: 00:02:10

So yeah, surrender is the key.

43

: 00:02:13

Surrender.

44

: 00:02:14

Tilly: Yeah.

45

: 00:02:15

I do also think, like, I know you

obviously can get a baby into a routine,

46

: 00:02:18

you can do it but it's a lot of work and

you have to like, like sacrifice not doing

47

: 00:02:23

other things while getting them into a

routine, same with most things with the

48

: 00:02:25

baby, but also, I think it's okay if

they're not in a routine now because once

49

: 00:02:29

she's in going to nursery she's going

to have to be in a routine, she'll be

50

: 00:02:31

in a forced routine once it starts, so.

51

: 00:02:33

It's a couple of months of not

being routine, right, the rest of

52

: 00:02:36

her life is going to be routine.

53

: 00:02:38

I think whatever's easiest at this stage.

54

: 00:02:43

Dan 1: Morning, I nearly succumbed.

55

: 00:02:46

I nearly broke the emergency

glass, and she woke up at half

56

: 00:02:53

five and I was tired as fuck.

57

: 00:02:54

I was so close

58

: 00:02:57

Tilly: Going downstairs

59

: 00:02:58

Dan 1: to going downstairs and

just whacking Dancing Fruit on.

60

: 00:03:01

I was there like, she doesn't

Here's the normal dance we do.

61

: 00:03:06

And then I found our little,

our little swirly light thing.

62

: 00:03:10

And that just gave me half an hour

to just, you know, when you do that,

63

: 00:03:14

it's kind of, when you wake up in

deep sleep, and if you kind of like,

64

: 00:03:17

roll around with your eyes closed a

bit, eventually, you'll You kind of,

65

: 00:03:21

uh, are awake, as it were, at six.

66

: 00:03:23

Tilly: time.

67

: 00:03:23

Dan 1: And so she, that gave me half an

hour and then she started just kicking me.

68

: 00:03:28

Just kicking me loads.

69

: 00:03:28

And I was like, okay, fine, fair enough.

70

: 00:03:30

I can get up now.

71

: 00:03:37

Just so fucking tired, love.

72

: 00:03:38

When it comes around at like

five, I'm like, No, I can, I can

73

: 00:03:43

go till nine, if you'll let me.

74

: 00:03:46

But also, it's not like I'm, it's not

like I've got, When I used to wake up

75

: 00:03:50

at five, I had a plan to go do things.

76

: 00:03:53

Now I just wake up and it's like, I'm

just gonna be, do you know what I mean?

77

: 00:03:58

Just got to be awake.

78

: 00:03:59

I'm not gonna do anything.

79

: 00:04:01

I'm just now awake.

80

: 00:04:03

And so there's no, there's no sense of

urgency, there's no sense of purpose.

81

: 00:04:05

You're just awake and you're tired.

82

: 00:04:08

So you're like, why am I awake and tired?

83

: 00:04:09

Yeah, yeah,

84

: 00:04:14

Tilly: You know, quick shop.

85

: 00:04:16

Alright, okay, let's open the curtains.

86

: 00:04:19

Let's go for a walk.

87

: 00:04:20

I think once you've done that you're like

cool my day's begun and it's fine, I think

88

: 00:04:26

Dan 1: but I, I, I think I've not, I'm

not as A weight as a make out, even when

89

: 00:04:33

I used to get up at 5 and go do things,

90

: 00:04:36

Tilly: No, you're

91

: 00:04:36

Dan 1: would still take me a while.

92

: 00:04:37

Like I'd get to the gym and I'd spend

20 minutes taking a shit, just because,

93

: 00:04:41

so I'd get to the gym for 5, but I'd

be on the loo for 20 minutes being

94

: 00:04:45

like, ugh, am I ready to go do this?

95

: 00:04:48

Alright, let's go do this.

96

: 00:04:51

And then I'll go do my workout.

97

: 00:04:52

But, irrespective of, I'm happy

to get up early, but it usually

98

: 00:04:56

takes me about half an hour to

adjust to the fact that I'm mobile.

99

: 00:05:01

You're trying to be in the video.

100

: 00:05:02

You're not meant to be

in the video, baby girl.

101

: 00:05:05

Oh, you're a cheeky

102

: 00:05:06

Tilly: I want to be a star, daddy.

103

: 00:05:08

Dan 1: munchkin.

104

: 00:05:09

Let's get you a little

Mexican wrestling mask,

105

: 00:05:12

Tilly: Auntie Erin's gonna

get you a bottle of coffee.

106

: 00:05:18

A

107

: 00:05:19

Dan 1: so yeah, I think this

week's been pretty good.

108

: 00:05:20

I mean let's see, let me think.

109

: 00:05:22

Monday, yeah, I think

Monday was very good.

110

: 00:05:23

Tuesday was pretty good.

111

: 00:05:25

Wednesday, did anything happen on

112

: 00:05:27

Tilly: of coffee.

113

: 00:05:30

Dan 1: you were in work.

114

: 00:05:31

Again, day was fine.

115

: 00:05:32

I think I, I mean, I am, I am happy

to see you when you come back,

116

: 00:05:36

because I'm like, yeah, she can now

just sit on the boob and I can go

117

: 00:05:41

into another room and do something.

118

: 00:05:43

And then, yeah, Thursday, Mum was

round, Friday, yeah, I think it

119

: 00:05:49

was all, Friday was a bit harder,

because I was trying to do.

120

: 00:05:53

I did have things that I needed to do,

and so it was harder to just succumb

121

: 00:05:57

to her, surrender to her routine.

122

: 00:05:59

Because it was like, well I need to cook,

because I was, I was having a, I was going

123

: 00:06:02

over to a friend's and we were cooking,

all just cooking different dishes.

124

: 00:06:05

And so I was there trying to

125

: 00:06:07

Tilly: That's the

126

: 00:06:07

Dan 1: certain things, and

she was just like, nah, I need

127

: 00:06:11

you to pay attention to me.

128

: 00:06:12

And I was like, no mate,

129

: 00:06:13

Tilly: I'm doing

130

: 00:06:14

Dan 1: You're meant to be asleep, are

we going to have to pause this, go

131

: 00:06:16

for a dog walk and then come back?

132

: 00:06:18

So yeah, how's your week been?

133

: 00:06:20

Tilly: I think it's been better.

134

: 00:06:22

It's still, again, as we say every week.

135

: 00:06:24

We're not in a routine that one.

136

: 00:06:26

But I think we finally thought of a good

plan that's actually going to work for us.

137

: 00:06:30

Time wise, like, getting up at 6

rather than trying to get up at 5 6.

138

: 00:06:36

And I just go, just palm her

off straight away, aren't you?

139

: 00:06:40

Dan 1: Yeah,

140

: 00:06:40

Tilly: And then I'm back by half

seven and we just go straight for the

141

: 00:06:42

walk so I can start work by eight.

142

: 00:06:45

Well sometimes I might be back

earlier than half seven but,

143

: 00:06:46

you know, I definitely will

be able to start it by eight.

144

: 00:06:50

Dan 1: yeah

145

: 00:06:50

Tilly: Then, it means at the end of

the day, rather than me then being

146

: 00:06:54

like, cool, I'm going to the gym

now, I can just take her from you.

147

: 00:06:57

Because by that point, you tend to be

looking like you're pretty much done.

148

: 00:07:01

And then you can have an hour or

whatever you need to do some bits.

149

: 00:07:04

Like, podcast or whatever, before

starting, like, before starting art,

150

: 00:07:08

sort of like, doing dinner and things.

151

: 00:07:11

Dan 1: Yes, I'd like to say I think

probably all our friends ask us

152

: 00:07:16

What's it like, you know, how's your

life changed since having a kid?

153

: 00:07:20

Most of the time, I'm like, it

doesn't, there's very little

154

: 00:07:23

that I'm actually bothered by,

but I think routine is a fucker.

155

: 00:07:29

We've gone from, we've gone from being

able to completely dictate our time, to

156

: 00:07:33

just being like, Okay, I want to do these

things, but give up, let go, surrender,

157

: 00:07:38

fuck it, it's not happening, move on.

158

: 00:07:40

Tilly: this house is all on wage.

159

: 00:07:43

Because it's not how it used to be.

160

: 00:07:46

Dan 1: Productivity in this household

has fallen way down Because it's like it

161

: 00:07:50

used to be that you would do something

and I would do something so you could be

162

: 00:07:54

cooking and I could Be you know doing a

dog pick doing I don't know the dishwasher

163

: 00:08:01

or whatever Yeah, but now it's like one of

us has the large to be looking after her

164

: 00:08:07

Maybe trying to do something on the side,

165

: 00:08:10

Tilly: fall, which is

166

: 00:08:11

Dan 1: So much slower.

167

: 00:08:12

Tilly: think

168

: 00:08:12

Dan 1: and then,

169

: 00:08:13

Tilly: has yet to have

170

: 00:08:15

Dan 1: So yeah, household productivity

has fallen through the floor.

171

: 00:08:18

So that's, that's I

think my biggest lesson.

172

: 00:08:20

For anybody who has yet to have a

baby and keeps asking me, what is

173

: 00:08:25

the thing that you miss the most?

174

: 00:08:27

Time management.

175

: 00:08:28

That's what I miss.

176

: 00:08:29

Tilly: Or just outsource what you

can't, like, get a cleaner get a cook,

177

: 00:08:33

basically if you're rich you're fine.

178

: 00:08:35

Get a nanny,

179

: 00:08:36

Dan 1: a nanny.

180

: 00:08:37

Outsource that too.

181

: 00:08:38

Tilly: it Victorian style, just kiss

them goodnight, and get on with the day.

182

: 00:08:44

Dan 1: Give them a kiss good morning.

183

: 00:08:46

Wish them a lovely day.

184

: 00:08:48

Give them a kiss good night.

185

: 00:08:48

Yeah.

186

: 00:08:52

Yeah.

187

: 00:08:55

Tilly: But I think, I think, like you,

I've sort of hit a level now where

188

: 00:08:59

I'm sort of like, This is it now.

189

: 00:09:02

I'm done with sort of fighting it.

190

: 00:09:03

So I'm trying to figure out what

I can do to work along with it.

191

: 00:09:06

So like, trying to like, so again,

figuring out the routine that

192

: 00:09:09

actually just disrupts her flow

basically as little as possible.

193

: 00:09:15

So actually that she's really

chill and happy first thing in the

194

: 00:09:17

morning, so that's quite a good

time for me to leave her with you.

195

: 00:09:20

Because she's all like happy

and like la la la la la.

196

: 00:09:23

And then in the evening when she is

like, tetchy, being like, Okay, well

197

: 00:09:27

we know that's not a good time for

me to try and leave and do something.

198

: 00:09:31

Because I can't because she's upset and

you're very much done with it, and you're

199

: 00:09:34

trying to do things, and you're sort of

done with trying to not do things around

200

: 00:09:36

her, so she'll just let her cry out.

201

: 00:09:38

Well, no, it's not me.

202

: 00:09:39

They were just against it.

203

: 00:09:40

You'll just, you're done.

204

: 00:09:41

Dan 1: Yeah,

205

: 00:09:42

Tilly: Um, It's Ok, well let's

not try and fight that, let's be

206

: 00:09:45

like ok how can we work with this?

207

: 00:09:48

Dan 1: Yeah.

208

: 00:09:49

Tilly: So it is accepting.

209

: 00:09:57

All right.

210

: 00:09:59

Yeah, But this weeks been alright.

211

: 00:10:03

Yeah But then we've had a sort of

shit time when it comes to pets

212

: 00:10:06

in our life this weekend, we?

213

: 00:10:07

Yeah, videos.

214

: 00:10:08

Let's find out, eh?

215

: 00:10:11

Dan 1: so, three, so your, your best

friend Erin, her cat's gone missing.

216

: 00:10:17

Tilly: know, little Greg.

217

: 00:10:18

Hopefully by now Greg's been found.

218

: 00:10:20

Dan 1: Dog,

219

: 00:10:20

Tilly: Yeah, Sidley, has, well

we don't know what's wrong,

220

: 00:10:24

he's not been eating for a week.

221

: 00:10:25

He's been vomiting loads, and the thing

is his liver was pancreas, and it possibly

222

: 00:10:30

could be cancer because they found a mass.

223

: 00:10:32

And so he's currently on anti nausea

medication and some strong antibiotics

224

: 00:10:36

to see if that does anything, and

if it doesn't then we'll just see.

225

: 00:10:40

Tackle comes next, but

Sid is like mum's bubba,

226

: 00:10:44

Dan 1: yeah

227

: 00:10:44

Tilly: they're very very attached.

228

: 00:10:45

So, I really hope it's the next one.

229

: 00:10:48

And then, your family dog.

230

: 00:10:50

Tilly: 16.

236

: 00:11:09

I don't think I

: 00:11:13

Tilly: what were you doing?

245

: 00:11:14

Were you at school?

246

: 00:11:14

Or were you at 6th form?

247

: 00:11:17

Dan 1: was in sixth form yet.

Okay, so he's probably like

14, still 14, he's fucking old.

255

: 00:11:31

Did you play Labrador?

256

: 00:11:32

No,

257

: 00:11:33

Dan 1: I was doing my GCSEs, because

I remember I was on study days

258

: 00:11:37

for my GCSEs when we first got

him as a puppy and so I would be

259

: 00:11:42

Tilly: he'd need like

260

: 00:11:43

Dan 1: sat studying in the

living room to be downstairs

261

: 00:11:46

to, to try and help train him.

262

: 00:11:48

Yeah, I wasn't very good at studying,

263

: 00:11:49

Tilly: try

264

: 00:11:50

Dan 1: And

265

: 00:11:51

Tilly: so

266

: 00:11:51

Dan 1: he,

267

: 00:11:52

Tilly: it, and

268

: 00:11:53

Dan 1: get bored as puppies do because

they need, They need frequency, they

269

: 00:11:57

need like five minutes very regularly of

attention, like play and stuff like that.

270

: 00:12:02

They get tired very quickly, but they get

amped up and restore energy very quickly.

271

: 00:12:06

And so that's not very conducive to

trying to learn and study, because every

272

: 00:12:10

20 minutes you're meant to be sort of

playing with them for five minutes.

273

: 00:12:13

And so he just used to, I'll be

there reading my books, he used to

274

: 00:12:19

just run through, and And just look

dead at me, and piss on the carpet,

275

: 00:12:23

Tilly: and run away.

276

: 00:12:24

Dan 1: I'm like, fuck sake, okay mate.

277

: 00:12:27

so yeah, he's pretty old.

278

: 00:12:29

He might

279

: 00:12:31

Tilly: So he's had very good innings.

280

: 00:12:32

Dan 1: but he's yeah, he's had

some sort of a stroke like thing.

281

: 00:12:38

so he's currently at an

emergency vet, they've been there

282

: 00:12:41

overnight, they've stabilized him.

283

: 00:12:43

But I don't, I don't know

how much, that's what's next.

284

: 00:12:47

But uh, unfortunately so.

285

: 00:12:48

Tilly: No, I think his end is nigh.

286

: 00:12:51

Dan 1: Unfortunately so.

287

: 00:12:53

Tilly: So we were just looking

at Fatty yesterday and we're

288

: 00:12:56

like, don't you fucking dare.

289

: 00:12:57

You better be fine.

290

: 00:12:58

Because I'm not dealing with a fourth pet.

291

: 00:13:00

He's very solid.

292

: 00:13:02

Dan 1: The more worry

is that he'd get stolen.

293

: 00:13:04

I

294

: 00:13:05

Tilly: Yeah.

295

: 00:13:06

Dan 1: it's the rest of him.

296

: 00:13:08

Or he'd just run off after a squirrel.

297

: 00:13:11

Tilly: Yeah, I mean, when he's

locked at home, I'm not worried about

298

: 00:13:13

Dan 1: Exactly, he's got,

he's got a high chase drive.

299

: 00:13:15

So it's likely he'd lose him

to a pheasant or some shit.

300

: 00:13:18

Tilly: Yeah.

301

: 00:13:19

But we've had lots of fun

weaning this week, haven't we?

302

: 00:13:21

Yeah.

303

: 00:13:21

So Bubs is starting to eat a bit

more now, a bit more regularly.

304

: 00:13:25

So we're sort of just

trying little tidbits.

305

: 00:13:27

We're still trying to do an evening

meal together and then sort of,

306

: 00:13:28

she might have like, try a little

snacks with her during the day.

307

: 00:13:31

So she absolutely loves chewing on a

spring onion, which is a pretty strong

308

: 00:13:35

bold flavor, but it's meant to be

quite good for their teething pain.

309

: 00:13:39

She bloody loved a bit of

dried mango, didn't she?

310

: 00:13:41

Dan 1: Yeah, so dried fruits

are brilliant for winning.

311

: 00:13:45

Babies love them.

312

: 00:13:47

But, parents, beware.

313

: 00:13:48

Tilly: just kind of sucks and

314

: 00:13:50

Dan 1: Dried mango especially.

315

: 00:13:51

So, she holds it in her hand,

and she just kind of sucks and

316

: 00:13:55

sucks on it, and gnaws on it.

317

: 00:13:56

So she sucks and gnaws.

318

: 00:13:57

So obviously the gnawing will

be very nice for her teeth.

319

: 00:14:00

And as she gnaws, she'll release lots of

flavor, but she drools at the same time.

320

: 00:14:05

So she starts just rehydrating

321

: 00:14:07

Tilly: start to

322

: 00:14:08

Dan 1: the mango,

323

: 00:14:08

Tilly: with her finger,

324

: 00:14:09

Dan 1: and then it becomes really slimy.

325

: 00:14:10

And so she'll then suck, and she'll suck

it out of her hand, into her throat.

326

: 00:14:14

So you've then just got to be ready

to just plunge in with your finger,

327

: 00:14:18

just try and pull this mango out.

328

: 00:14:20

Yeah.

329

: 00:14:30

Tilly: she's feeding herself just because

for us we think it's more interesting, a

330

: 00:14:33

bit more, you know, different textures.

331

: 00:14:34

I wouldn't want to eat puree all the time

so I see probably baby wouldn't either.

332

: 00:14:38

But we know obviously a lot of parents

get worried when they do this with a

333

: 00:14:41

young baby because there is more risk,

there is a high risk of choking obviously.

334

: 00:14:46

Dan 1: Yeah.

335

: 00:14:46

Tilly: But I think as long as you're

there and watching her it's fine.

336

: 00:14:49

But basically because she

loves dried fruits which I then

337

: 00:14:51

went out with her on Friday.

338

: 00:14:53

I bought like a selection of dried fruits.

339

: 00:14:56

So she's now got big dried pears

which went down really well.

340

: 00:14:58

She loves the dried pears.

341

: 00:14:59

The whole half of the pear dried.

342

: 00:15:02

Fully dried bananas but

not like the crispy ones.

343

: 00:15:05

They're like chewy but they're

whole ones which is quite

344

: 00:15:07

good for her to hold I think.

345

: 00:15:08

They look disgusting.

346

: 00:15:10

They look absolutely minging.

347

: 00:15:11

They look like a dog treat sort of thing.

348

: 00:15:13

So we've not tried them out yet.

349

: 00:15:15

And she's got the apple, like, little

chewy apple rings and that sort of stuff.

350

: 00:15:19

So it's all, it's all

fun and games, isn't it?

351

: 00:15:22

She had a bit of omelette today.

352

: 00:15:24

Maybe we'll try some

Porridge later, but who knows

353

: 00:15:29

Dan 1: can move on to Bwesson, can't she?

354

: 00:15:31

Other

355

: 00:15:33

Tilly: buy some super

356

: 00:15:35

Dan 1: Monshed,

357

: 00:15:37

Tilly: a mass of meat in this house.

358

: 00:15:39

We don't eat masses of meat

359

: 00:15:41

Dan 1: don't think

360

: 00:15:46

Tilly: car meat, pocket meat Obviously

any meat we want to compare with, we want

361

: 00:15:50

to make sure it's like a good quality

and we realize that's you know That's

362

: 00:15:52

a very privileged thing to say like

we're lucky enough to be able to buy a

363

: 00:15:55

good piece of meat every now and again

364

: 00:15:58

Dan 1: can,

365

: 00:15:58

Tilly: Yeah, exactly

366

: 00:15:59

Dan 1: Like if we ate meat for every

367

: 00:16:01

Tilly: We'd have to buy shitty meat Yeah,

368

: 00:16:03

Dan 1: you buy a lot

less, you can buy a lot

369

: 00:16:05

Tilly: yeah, so we found a good

butcher that we're going to go to

370

: 00:16:08

and just get us some like, organic

grass fed, all that sort of stuff.

371

: 00:16:13

Dan 1: Spuffler baby girl?

372

: 00:16:15

Tilly: I was thinking, if it wasn't so

high in salt, something like jerky or

373

: 00:16:18

biltong would be quite nice to chew on.

374

: 00:16:21

Dan 1: Well, we can make it ourselves as a

375

: 00:16:23

Tilly: But it needs salt, doesn't it?

376

: 00:16:24

That's part of the curing process.

377

: 00:16:26

Dan 1: No, I don't

378

: 00:16:27

Tilly: No?

379

: 00:16:27

Dan 1: so.

380

: 00:16:27

No, because the first time I made

it, I didn't, I didn't use any soil.

381

: 00:16:32

I didn't make it very well, I

literally just dried silverside

382

: 00:16:36

Tilly: Maybe we'd look into it then,

because I think that could be quite a

383

: 00:16:37

nice texture again for her to chew on.

384

: 00:16:39

Dan 1: to the liver kings, see

what the fuck he's gonna say.

385

: 00:16:44

Tilly: There's also the

386

: 00:16:45

Dan 1: Do you want some,

do you want some liver?

387

: 00:16:47

Tilly: Dried liver?

388

: 00:16:47

Mmm.

389

: 00:16:49

Fatty would be like, give it to

390

: 00:16:50

Dan 1: Give

391

: 00:16:51

Tilly: me the dried liver!

392

: 00:16:52

Dan 1: liver!

393

: 00:16:53

prostate.

394

: 00:16:56

Tilly: the one thing they do

need from six months is iron.

395

: 00:16:59

Everything else they're still getting

from the breast milk, but the one

396

: 00:17:00

Dan 1: Liver.

397

: 00:17:01

Liver.

398

: 00:17:04

You're going to be a liver baby.

399

: 00:17:05

Tilly: baby.

400

: 00:17:06

Dan 1: baby!

401

: 00:17:07

Tilly: We'll get you, like, dragon

402

: 00:17:08

Dan 1: Liver baby!

403

: 00:17:10

Yeah, you're going to be a liver baby!

404

: 00:17:13

Tilly: you dragon tires.

405

: 00:17:14

We'll get you super tanned.

406

: 00:17:17

Dan 1: Draw on a six pack.

407

: 00:17:19

Tilly: Yeah.

408

: 00:17:22

so yeah, more fun and games.

409

: 00:17:24

Dan 1: Get you on the roids.

410

: 00:17:25

You're

411

: 00:17:25

Tilly: I mean, she's got roids.

412

: 00:17:28

Dan 1: Oh yeah, Brassmelt.

413

: 00:17:29

Double

414

: 00:17:30

Tilly: Growth hormone.

415

: 00:17:30

Pumping it into her

already, don't you worry.

416

: 00:17:32

Oh, I've got a breast which is

like, holding itself up boobies.

417

: 00:17:39

What else this week?

418

: 00:17:41

Has anything happened?

419

: 00:17:42

Oh yeah, she's been sleeping in her

own room, that's quite a big one.

420

: 00:17:44

So, yeah, we've finally got her

like, cot ready and she's at a

421

: 00:17:50

place now we think, oh she's ready

to start moving into her own room.

422

: 00:17:53

So we're now putting her down in her cot

in her room each night, and she's about

423

: 00:17:59

seven ish and she tends to stay there

pretty well, till about nine, half nine.

424

: 00:18:02

Then she needs another feed and

an appetiter, then she tends to

425

: 00:18:05

go down until around two most

nights, but then two onwards.

426

: 00:18:10

Just not having it.

427

: 00:18:11

From two till like we get up at six.

428

: 00:18:14

She doesn't really want to be off here.

429

: 00:18:16

She's much more clingy for

430

: 00:18:20

Dan 1: we don't, we won't spend

as much time settling her.

431

: 00:18:24

Like obviously, up until

nine, we're awake anyway.

432

: 00:18:27

And so we're willing to

sort of, spend half an hour

433

: 00:18:31

getting her into a deep sleep.

434

: 00:18:33

Whereas like, you alright over there?

435

: 00:18:38

Or is it like two in the morning?

436

: 00:18:40

You're not there like, oh, I'll

just stay up for half an hour

437

: 00:18:42

Tilly: Also, I'd ever I don't have much

time Like, concept of time at that point.

438

: 00:18:46

So I don't like looking at

my phone because I don't

439

: 00:18:47

want to have all the screen

440

: 00:18:48

Dan 1: Yeah.

441

: 00:18:49

Tilly: of just going, I

fed her, she's asleep.

442

: 00:18:50

I feel like she's been

asleep for quite a while.

443

: 00:18:51

But she might not have

actually been asleep that long.

444

: 00:18:54

I might have just felt

like a long time, too many.

445

: 00:18:57

Dan 1: Because I've found, like, when

I, some nights, when I take her, if

446

: 00:19:02

I do just wake up, and just go on my

phone for like half an hour, 45 minutes,

447

: 00:19:07

and let her sleep in my arms, It used

to be able to transition into the next

448

: 00:19:12

Tilly: Hmm.

449

: 00:19:12

Dan 1: me.

450

: 00:19:12

Obviously I absolutely fuck my sleep

because then my body is completely

451

: 00:19:15

awake too and I've got to re go through

that kind of, you know, removing the

452

: 00:19:20

blue light from my system process and

stuff like that and it means that you

453

: 00:19:24

have an absolutely shit second half of

454

: 00:19:26

Tilly: Which basically what we

need to do is be better people and

455

: 00:19:28

like, read a book, wear red light.

456

: 00:19:30

At that time.

457

: 00:19:31

Dan 1: to stay awake reading.

458

: 00:19:32

Tilly: It's actually

459

: 00:19:33

Dan 1: especially red, like

460

: 00:19:34

Tilly: to do it on

461

: 00:19:37

Dan 1: your eyes open

462

: 00:19:38

Tilly: own than to do

463

: 00:19:41

Dan 1: You need to just get

up and do some press ups,

464

: 00:19:43

Tilly: own.

465

: 00:19:44

You have to just get like, do

some squats and then hold her.

466

: 00:19:53

Hold her.

467

: 00:20:08

But just something doesn't quite sit

right with us yet about doing it.

468

: 00:20:12

I think we're getting to that stage

where we're sort of Yeah, I think we need

469

: 00:20:16

Dan 1: I think we need to

470

: 00:20:18

Tilly: that we do it in

471

: 00:20:20

Dan 1: work out when, because You've

got to accept that, you know, there's

472

: 00:20:26

going to be a weekend, or a longer, like

a long weekend of pretty shit sleep.

473

: 00:20:32

And just make sure that we do

it in the way that's least,

474

: 00:20:35

you know, impinging as it were.

475

: 00:20:38

Because, like, obviously there's

varying degrees of ignoring.

476

: 00:20:41

Like, some people just

don't go in the room.

477

: 00:20:46

Let the baby completely cry and just

like watch them on the monitor and other

478

: 00:20:51

people will go into the room, look at

the baby, walk straight out, make sure

479

: 00:20:55

the baby's seen them, then they walk out.

480

: 00:20:57

Other people will go in, will talk to

the baby, other people will go in, touch

481

: 00:21:01

the baby, but like, the main rules, don't

pick up the baby, but obviously there

482

: 00:21:05

are all these other like, steps, that

reassure, but slow your baby's progress.

483

: 00:21:11

Tilly: Also, I think like,

you know, difference in your

484

: 00:21:13

baby's cries by this stage.

485

: 00:21:15

So like the other night when she

woke up, she was making noises

486

: 00:21:17

and stuff, but she wasn't, she

clearly wasn't in a distress cry.

487

: 00:21:20

Dan 1: yeah.

488

: 00:21:21

Tilly: She said, well, and then

sort of, we decided we'd go pick

489

: 00:21:23

her up anyway after a while.

490

: 00:21:25

And then I then sort of realized off that

was a mistake done that shoulda left.

491

: 00:21:29

Dan 1: But that's the other thing,

we probably need to speak to our

492

: 00:21:31

neighbours, and just be like,

493

: 00:21:33

Tilly: Yeah, I definitely

think we should do that.

494

: 00:21:34

We should,

495

: 00:21:35

Dan 1: we should, yeah, we should

try and speak to them this weekend

496

: 00:21:38

or next week, and just sort of say

that next weekend, there's going

497

: 00:21:41

Tilly: You're going to

hear a lot of crying.

498

: 00:21:42

I apologize.

499

: 00:21:44

Dan 1: a war on sleep.

500

: 00:21:45

Tilly: I'd like to know, does that

sort of have another house mobile?

501

: 00:21:48

Just maybe go to your other house,

502

: 00:21:49

Dan 1: Yeah, just go to your London

503

: 00:21:51

Tilly: or put some earplugs in.

504

: 00:21:53

Dan 1: Yeah.

505

: 00:21:53

Tilly: And the

506

: 00:21:55

Dan 1: And the other thing that we've

realised is, we have incredible privilege

507

: 00:21:58

in that we have a spare bedroom, so.

508

: 00:22:01

We can divide and conquer, and,

because we've got, you know, she's

509

: 00:22:05

got two parents, she's lucky enough in

510

: 00:22:07

Tilly: I will definitely need earplugs

though, because when she's crying

511

: 00:22:09

downstairs, I can't speak to her.

512

: 00:22:11

Dan 1: I know, but what I

mean is, one of us can do

513

: 00:22:14

Tilly: We can tag team each night, yeah.

514

: 00:22:16

One of us that knows, you know,

515

: 00:22:17

Dan 1: know, we can work

out how we want to do it.

516

: 00:22:20

So, because it might, because it might

be that we decide either night on, night

517

: 00:22:24

off, or we might do, like, The first

part one of us takes because we know

518

: 00:22:28

she sleeps and then the second part

the other one takes and we switch the

519

: 00:22:31

next night because it's the second part

that's the issue, it's not the first

520

: 00:22:34

Tilly: Yeah, yeah.

521

: 00:22:35

No,

522

: 00:22:43

Dan 1: 2 and then you were 2 till 8.

523

: 00:22:45

Tilly: I'd stay, I'd do the

first half of the night.

524

: 00:22:48

Dan 1: yeah.

525

: 00:22:48

And I'd get up at 2, 3 in the

526

: 00:22:51

Tilly: You were struggling to stay

awake late enough, so I'd stay awake.

527

: 00:22:55

Yeah, I think maybe this week I discuss

with work, is there a point coming up in

528

: 00:22:58

the next few weeks where I can take like

a Monday, like a Friday and a Monday off?

529

: 00:23:02

Dan 1: Yeah

530

: 00:23:03

Tilly: because, Although I could

work, I'm probably not going to be

531

: 00:23:05

particularly productive on those

532

: 00:23:07

Dan 1: with your mum taking her on

Thursday night, it's probably best that

533

: 00:23:11

Tilly: of Sid.

534

: 00:23:11

So we're going to play this.

535

: 00:23:14

It's unlikely, I think, that it'll

happen this week because of Sid.

536

: 00:23:20

Maybe we just need to do

some napping during this as

537

: 00:23:25

Dan 1: night, obviously, she's going

to be all After the first night, she's

538

: 00:23:28

going to be really fucking tired.

539

: 00:23:30

And so, if we can go into it, if we

can farm off the first night I'll just

540

: 00:23:36

be fucking rejuvenated because she's

not been there so we slept like a log.

541

: 00:23:40

She comes into it tired, we come

into it fucking fighting fresh.

542

: 00:23:44

We're winning the battle.

543

: 00:23:45

But the worry is the wall of attrition.

544

: 00:23:48

She sleeps during the day, we don't.

545

: 00:23:50

So she needs to be on the back foot.

546

: 00:23:55

We're so bad at it, love.

547

: 00:23:58

And again, it's really hard for us

because she doesn't have any routine.

548

: 00:24:03

You and I, to go to sleep, we need to do

things, we need to like, set the place

549

: 00:24:07

up so we can go to sleep, like we need

to go close curtains, we need to, you

550

: 00:24:11

Tilly: We can sort of make

her sleep at certain times.

551

: 00:24:15

Like we know when she's getting tired.

552

: 00:24:16

We said we get okay, she's getting tired.

553

: 00:24:17

Let's go upstairs, shut the

curtains, we'll get into bed.

554

: 00:24:19

We could do that

555

: 00:24:21

Dan 1: Yeah.

556

: 00:24:21

Tilly: because is normally so we're like,

okay, well let's just get some stuff done.

557

: 00:24:24

And then like being on the so forth

her or something, I said we could just

558

: 00:24:29

accept that we're not gonna get, we're

gonna get shit all done for four days.

559

: 00:24:32

Like, pre made meals.

560

: 00:24:33

Get it all.

561

: 00:24:34

Let's set ourselves

562

: 00:24:37

Dan 1: war on sleep.

563

: 00:24:38

Tilly: Yeah!

564

: 00:24:40

Dan 1: As that American

guy likes to call it.

565

: 00:24:42

Team no sleep!

566

: 00:24:42

Tilly: on my hand?

567

: 00:24:44

But that's what we're sort

of gearing up for, isn't it?

568

: 00:24:47

Come on!

569

: 00:24:48

But to be fair to her, like, staying

in the room, with one feet in the

570

: 00:24:53

middle, but from seven till two,

by herself, is still a massive

571

: 00:24:56

step from what she has been doing.

572

: 00:24:58

So she's doing really well.

573

: 00:25:00

Dan 1: Yeah, she's doing great.

574

: 00:25:01

Tilly: we had a fun bathroom yesterday,

you heard a boy's gone out on Friday.

575

: 00:25:03

Boi, boi.

576

: 00:25:05

And

577

: 00:25:05

Dan 1: doing a party.

578

: 00:25:06

It's 30.

579

: 00:25:12

Tilly: really wasn't a girls

night, she went to bed at half

580

: 00:25:14

six, so it was just me by myself.

581

: 00:25:16

But, you know, I had a nice takeaway.

582

: 00:25:18

And she'll

583

: 00:25:19

Dan 1: without Zolo.

584

: 00:25:20

Tilly: Yeah.

585

: 00:25:21

And then she woke up super early, like

five o'clock she was up on a Saturday.

586

: 00:25:26

So we was like, I was like, cool,

let's get up and clean the bathroom.

587

: 00:25:28

So we cleaned the bathroom and had

a, and had a bubble bath together.

588

: 00:25:32

Dan 1: And she drank a lot of that water.

589

: 00:25:33

Tilly: And not a lot, not a lot.

590

: 00:25:35

She did it a couple times and I was

like, okay, let's just lift you out a

591

: 00:25:41

Dan 1: very deep, it was like up

592

: 00:25:43

Tilly: I forgot how much it

would go up when I got in.

593

: 00:25:46

So I put her in it and then got

in the bathroom and, oh yeah, I

594

: 00:25:48

displaced quite a lot of water.

595

: 00:25:49

But she wasn't in that

seat most of the time.

596

: 00:25:51

Most of the time she was on me and we

were just playing with the toys together.

597

: 00:25:54

It was just like when I

was getting her in and out.

598

: 00:25:56

Dan 1: go in Because the problem was,

599

: 00:25:59

Tilly: Yeah.

600

: 00:25:59

So we've also got, I don't know if

you can tell, a hole in the bathroom.

601

: 00:26:05

We need

602

: 00:26:06

Dan 1: you'd fill a whole bath when you

actually only needed like A third of it to

603

: 00:26:11

be, well less, like a quarter of it to be

604

: 00:26:13

Tilly: So it's

605

: 00:26:14

Dan 1: And so we've got a cement bucket

now, that's like a 72 litre cement

606

: 00:26:18

bucket, that we can fill the water in it.

607

: 00:26:22

And that's better for our hot water,

because we don't actually have enough

608

: 00:26:24

hot water to fill like a whole bath.

609

: 00:26:25

I don't really have it on that long.

610

: 00:26:30

Yeah, you've got to kind of put

the hot water on for like half

611

: 00:26:32

an hour before you can have

612

: 00:26:33

Tilly: hot water on.

613

: 00:26:36

but we had fun still.

614

: 00:26:37

so yeah.

615

: 00:26:39

I was pretty tired yesterday,

you were pretty tired after

616

: 00:26:41

your lads night on the dinner.

617

: 00:26:43

Dan 1: Yeah,

618

: 00:26:44

Tilly: And then we had fun

travelling around, seeing

619

: 00:26:48

Dan 1: families with their ailing pets.

620

: 00:26:49

Tilly: Yeah, so we helped Aaron

post up, you know, posters.

621

: 00:26:52

For wee Greg, and then

we went to see your mum.

622

: 00:26:55

And today we're seeing your auntie.

Enjoy the rest of the episode

638

: 00:27:34

Tilly: She said some weird poos.

639

: 00:27:34

Let's just chat about her scats.

640

: 00:27:36

I think that's enough.

641

: 00:27:37

Dan 1: okay.

642

: 00:27:37

We'll have to try and, we'll

have to work hard to try

643

: 00:27:40

Tilly: I mean, we can talk

about how gross they were.

644

: 00:27:42

That's fucking

entertaining, quite frankly.

645

: 00:27:43

Skiddly

646

: 00:27:46

Dan 1: a good scat chat.

647

: 00:27:47

Tilly: up, bah, scat Do you

648

: 00:27:53

Dan 1: being on shared parental leave, i.

649

: 00:27:55

e.

650

: 00:27:55

me being the primary caregiver,

not the sole, as I keep saying,

651

: 00:27:59

Tilly: the day most

652

: 00:28:00

Dan 1: with my

653

: 00:28:01

Tilly: I

654

: 00:28:01

Dan 1: I feed her, Um, Um, I, I

655

: 00:28:07

Tilly: Sorry, if you don't see my arm

moving up and down, it's because I'm

656

: 00:28:09

waving a blanket to try and entertain, so.

657

: 00:28:10

I'm,

658

: 00:28:11

Dan 1: I'm, I'm really bad at trying to

multitask, I need to just be focusing

659

: 00:28:16

on one thing at a time, because I

like to give things my undivided

660

: 00:28:19

attention, while my wife just waves

a blanket and tries to listen to me.

661

: 00:28:24

Tilly: I can do these things.

662

: 00:28:25

I'm a woman.

663

: 00:28:26

And,

664

: 00:28:27

Dan 1: so I had the, the little

things that I do still do is I've,

665

: 00:28:32

I've got a like call for a sort of

startup thing that I'm involved in

666

: 00:28:37

and that just happens once a week.

667

: 00:28:39

And so I was on this call on a

668

: 00:28:41

Tilly: video.

669

: 00:28:41

We

670

: 00:28:42

Dan 1: we were talking about something,

and it was something that actually, that

671

: 00:28:44

kind of required my input, and I just

had, and then I just heard this Pfft,

672

: 00:28:49

Tilly: couldn't believe it.

673

: 00:28:51

And just watched the face flick.

674

: 00:28:54

Which

675

: 00:28:55

Dan 1: and she just kind of

676

: 00:28:55

Tilly: isn't it?

677

: 00:28:56

And then I was

678

: 00:28:58

Dan 1: then I was like, oh

fuck, she hadn't pooed for,

679

: 00:29:01

Tilly: or?

680

: 00:29:02

Dan 1: yeah, I think it had been a

while, I think we were approaching

681

: 00:29:04

the day and a half point.

682

: 00:29:05

Tilly: game.

683

: 00:29:06

Uh, so I just

684

: 00:29:07

Dan 1: And so I just had to quickly

kind of go on mute, spin my laptop

685

: 00:29:10

somewhat, so they could see my body.

686

: 00:29:12

But they obviously couldn't

see what I was doing.

687

: 00:29:14

And so, she managed to have a full

blown poo splosion where it came

688

: 00:29:19

out the front and out the back.

689

: 00:29:21

Tilly: I opened

690

: 00:29:22

Dan 1: then when I opened it up,

691

: 00:29:23

Tilly: a piece

692

: 00:29:24

Dan 1: it looked like fucking sagaloo.

693

: 00:29:26

It was because, with her weaning,

she's eating all these sorts of

694

: 00:29:29

weird things, like, with skins

695

: 00:29:32

Tilly: she can't digest

696

: 00:29:33

Dan 1: pear, she'll eat And she can't

digest the skins, because she can't chew.

697

: 00:29:36

So she doesn't chew these

698

: 00:29:37

Tilly: of skin down.

699

: 00:29:38

Dan 1: Yeah, and so it looks like

sort of that boiled spinach kind

700

: 00:29:42

of stuff, so it looks like she'd

done a big shitty sagaloon in

701

: 00:29:46

Tilly: she had quite a few of them.

702

: 00:29:47

She did one the other day.

703

: 00:29:50

It was when you were doing your creme

brulee, and you gave it to her and

704

: 00:29:53

you didn't realise she'd done a poo.

705

: 00:29:54

So I was giving her a few and

I was like, You're stinky.

706

: 00:29:57

Dan 1: yeah

707

: 00:29:57

Tilly: And the night was like, Oh, okay.

708

: 00:29:59

And it was all, after she'd

given us a mashed blueberries

709

: 00:30:02

the day before or something.

710

: 00:30:03

So it was just full of all It was

just her really roughagey, nappy, Like

711

: 00:30:09

sort of like lots of like What was it?

712

: 00:30:10

Like dark green piss, like liquid

that's soaked into her nappy.

713

: 00:30:13

And then just loads of like roughage,

like fallen leaves in her nappy.

714

: 00:30:17

And it's all bitty and stuck to her arse.

715

: 00:30:20

Dan 1: know.

716

: 00:30:22

Tilly: well.

717

: 00:30:22

Yeah, and,

718

: 00:30:23

Dan 1: Yeah, it looks like, it

also looks a bit like, did you ever

719

: 00:30:27

play on AstroTurf as a teenager?

720

: 00:30:29

Tilly: Yeah, come on, darling.

721

: 00:30:31

At school, the big thing

722

: 00:30:32

Dan 1: schools, it was a big thing

obviously when we were teenagers, they

723

: 00:30:34

were creating AstroTurf everywhere.

724

: 00:30:36

Tilly: No, we had real grass.

725

: 00:30:37

Dan 1: Weird real grass,

726

: 00:30:38

Tilly: And I didn't play any

ball sports, so why else would

727

: 00:30:40

it be on the browser anyway?

728

: 00:30:41

This

729

: 00:30:48

Dan 1: we managed to pitch the

council, all this sort of stuff.

730

: 00:30:51

And so we then ended up partnering with

Wiccan Wanderers to be their sort of

731

: 00:30:54

Tilly: is boring, just carry on.

732

: 00:30:55

Dan 1: Anyway, but, it has

those little rubbery bits.

733

: 00:30:59

And it also had sand in, so it was like

fake grass, with like rubbery bits,

734

: 00:31:03

so it would move like soil under its

735

: 00:31:05

Tilly: the sand

736

: 00:31:06

Dan 1: so that the rubber would move.

737

: 00:31:08

And that used to, like, get in

your socks, and if you're wearing

738

: 00:31:11

shorts, you'd find it in your boxes.

739

: 00:31:13

Not just, not just the sand, but also the

rubber pellets, like tiny rubber pellets.

740

: 00:31:17

That's like it is wiping her nap.

741

: 00:31:19

You'll just wipe, and there'll be,

like, little clumps of, like, little

742

: 00:31:22

brown and black balls, whereas

it used to just be pure liquid.

743

: 00:31:26

Now it's like, it's like,

it's like grit in her shit.

744

: 00:31:30

Tilly: Also what I found happening

now, she isn't technically, but we feed

745

: 00:31:33

her, she gets like a messy mouth and

sometimes I just put a straw on the

746

: 00:31:36

boob because what she wants afterwards,

and I just get that on my boob.

747

: 00:31:40

Dan 1: Which is get

748

: 00:31:41

Tilly: Just smeared food on my boob.

749

: 00:31:43

Yeah.

750

: 00:31:43

But then sometimes like she had

the dried pair and obviously

751

: 00:31:45

that's quite sticky on her face.

752

: 00:31:47

Dan 1: Stick it today

753

: 00:31:48

Tilly: then also like then fluff sticks.

754

: 00:31:50

She came on, she was just

like, like fluffy beard.

755

: 00:31:53

Dan 1: Just know what was it called?

756

: 00:31:55

Tilly: Yeah, a little goatee.

757

: 00:31:56

Dan 1: they'll go

758

: 00:31:56

Tilly: was like a little pear

juice and top fluff goatee.

759

: 00:32:00

With a little bit of dog hair

in it as well for good measure.

760

: 00:32:02

Dan 1: to

761

: 00:32:03

Tilly: Oh yeah.

762

: 00:32:03

Dan 1: what we haven't talked

about Okay, I've dropped my

763

: 00:32:08

low a bit late in the game.

764

: 00:32:09

Dead

765

: 00:32:10

Tilly: Ugh, you've heard

about our rat problem.

766

: 00:32:15

You know, we thought finally

we'd got on top of it.

767

: 00:32:16

Then the other day I was like, our

house is smelling fucking funky.

768

: 00:32:20

And I was like, and you were like, you

didn't notice it for a little while.

769

: 00:32:23

I

770

: 00:32:23

Dan 1: that there was some sort of

771

: 00:32:24

Tilly: like, is it the food bin?

772

: 00:32:27

Dan 1: just willing to move on.

773

: 00:32:28

I was like,

774

: 00:32:29

Tilly: then it got, Um, but it got worse.

775

: 00:32:34

And then I was opening up our like,

Tupperware cupboard, we've all got.

776

: 00:32:37

Dan 1: me while you tell the story?

777

: 00:32:39

Matadors!

778

: 00:32:39

Tilly: and so I found a couple of

those, like, bull What are they called?

779

: 00:32:43

What are the bull people called?

780

: 00:32:45

That's what they are.

781

: 00:32:46

But, obviously, wrong colour.

782

: 00:32:47

Dan 1: I was like, ah,

783

: 00:32:50

Tilly: it up and I was like, that

cupboard is honky, and there's

784

: 00:32:53

no food in that cupboard, so it

shouldn't be a cupboard that smells.

785

: 00:32:56

Dan 1: be

786

: 00:32:57

Tilly: And then other, like, I call them

our downstairs cupboards, so there's

787

: 00:32:59

the cupboards that are on the bottom.

788

: 00:33:01

Also smell, and I was like, there's

nothing in here that would go off.

789

: 00:33:03

I was like, fuck it,

it's a fucking dead rat.

790

: 00:33:05

Dan 1: I

791

: 00:33:06

Tilly: Ugh.

792

: 00:33:07

Gross.

793

: 00:33:08

But tell them you're a genius

way of getting rid of it,

794

: 00:33:10

which makes me go, bleh!

795

: 00:33:12

So I need to speak to

more viewers, actually.

796

: 00:33:16

I was looking at ways to get rid of it.

797

: 00:33:18

So, basically, I then tried to

dig out, but this was my issue.

798

: 00:33:22

So when I first consulted with

the, the, the male role model that

799

: 00:33:26

Dan 1: With the male role

models within our family circle.

800

: 00:33:30

The advice I got was either to

cement holes, or to put poison down.

801

: 00:33:34

I meant to cement the holes, I

never got around to it, because

802

: 00:33:37

Tilly: And

803

: 00:33:39

Dan 1: Yep.

804

: 00:33:39

And or put, and then poison them.

805

: 00:33:41

So I was meant to

806

: 00:33:42

Tilly: do both.

807

: 00:33:42

Dan 1: do both.

808

: 00:33:43

Now, my main rebuttal to

the poison was, But won't

809

: 00:33:47

Tilly: both in

810

: 00:33:48

Dan 1: in our house

811

: 00:33:48

Tilly: And

812

: 00:33:49

Dan 1: the person just sort of

said Oh, no, don't worry about it.

813

: 00:33:51

It'll run off and die somewhere else.

814

: 00:33:52

I was like, no, but they live under

our house We found the holes that are

815

: 00:33:56

buried under our house and we just

kind of didn't really come up with

816

: 00:33:59

anything better Well, I tried to buy

rat traps, but they're incredibly

817

: 00:34:02

sensitive and just keep going off

818

: 00:34:04

Tilly: Those that got chewed

through one of our rat traps.

819

: 00:34:07

Dan 1: But it was a mouse

trap so it wasn't big enough.

820

: 00:34:09

So they're just kind of chewed

through to reach the bait

821

: 00:34:11

Tilly: bait.

822

: 00:34:11

And,

823

: 00:34:12

Dan 1: So, I keep putting this

poison down, and they love

824

: 00:34:15

it, they eat so fucking much

825

: 00:34:16

Tilly: So fucking much love.

826

: 00:34:17

But eventually Yeah, there

827

: 00:34:18

Dan 1: There was a lot of them.

828

: 00:34:21

We knew that they were eventually going

to die somewhere, and unfortunately,

829

: 00:34:25

Tilly: I

830

: 00:34:25

Dan 1: thought that underneath

our, I don't know what the floor

831

: 00:34:28

is in our kitchen extension,

832

: 00:34:29

Tilly: so

833

: 00:34:32

Dan 1: So, they've managed to, uh,

Burrow underneath, I don't think it's

834

: 00:34:36

for, I don't know what it is, and

then you've died under the kitchen

835

: 00:34:41

floor And so we can't reach it

836

: 00:34:43

Tilly: to extract them, and other

837

: 00:34:44

Dan 1: So most people are like, oh just

try and extract it, and then other people

838

: 00:34:46

are like, oh just turn the heating up

And have a really smelly house for a bit

839

: 00:34:50

Tilly: What's going on holiday?

840

: 00:34:50

I

841

: 00:34:55

Dan 1: whole holiday,

and we're not even there.

842

: 00:34:57

This is atrocious!

843

: 00:34:59

And then I came up with a more ingenious

solution, which is Pour maggots down

844

: 00:35:08

Tilly: really not, I'm really just not.

845

: 00:35:09

The one thing that makes me

just, my skin go UGHH is maggots,

846

: 00:35:13

anything sort of maggoty grubby,

it just makes me feel like UGHH, So

847

: 00:35:17

Dan 1: go to a bait shop,

848

: 00:35:18

Tilly: where all the maggots are

849

: 00:35:20

Dan 1: pour the maggots down the

hole because I can't reach there.

850

: 00:35:22

But maggots are really good at smelling

out like rotting flesh and then all

851

: 00:35:27

just nest in there and turn to fly.

852

: 00:35:28

Then people are like, oh well then

you're gonna have a fly problem.

853

: 00:35:31

No, I can seal the cupboards and I

can put loads of fly traps in there

854

: 00:35:34

or I can just try and cover the hole.

855

: 00:35:36

And so what happens.

856

: 00:35:37

The maggots will eat all the dead rat,

they'll turn into flies, they'll fly

857

: 00:35:40

up into the cowboy, and then they'll

stick to those and like, fuck it,

858

: 00:35:43

I'll put a zapper in there, and I can

just keep, bzz bzz bzz, and then all

859

: 00:35:48

Tilly: I

860

: 00:35:48

Dan 1: die,

861

: 00:35:48

Tilly: 5 5, and

862

: 00:35:50

Dan 1: and then that solves the problem.

863

: 00:35:51

Tilly: I don't know, I'm very curious.

864

: 00:35:53

I don't

865

: 00:35:54

Dan 1: I'm very dubious to this, I hope

they're an actual breed, I don't want

866

: 00:35:57

to bring in GM maggots into my house.

867

: 00:36:00

Who knows what that'll

868

: 00:36:01

Tilly: GM maggots.

869

: 00:36:02

I don't know how to do GM maggots.

870

: 00:36:05

I don't know how to do GM maggots.

871

: 00:36:09

I'm sure you

872

: 00:36:10

Dan 1: Sure, you'd prefer

flies to maggots, though.

873

: 00:36:13

My solution, they end

up turning into flies.

874

: 00:36:16

His solution, you will always potentially

have maggots underneath your house.

875

: 00:36:21

Yeah,

876

: 00:36:23

Tilly: I don't like

either solution, darling.

877

: 00:36:24

Dan 1: they're genetically

modified, so they might

878

: 00:36:25

Tilly: How do you know?

879

: 00:36:26

You don't know that you're receiving

880

: 00:36:28

Dan 1: year old maggots.

881

: 00:36:29

They just live there.

882

: 00:36:30

They crawl under your kitchen.

883

: 00:36:31

Tilly: Like cockroaches.

884

: 00:36:32

Dan 1: It'll be a bit like that woman.

885

: 00:36:34

The woman who ate a fly.

886

: 00:36:36

Tilly: Oh god, or they end up

growing to the size of a dog.

887

: 00:36:38

We have like massive

maggots under our house.

888

: 00:36:39

A

889

: 00:36:40

Dan 1: woman who ate a fly, and

then she ate a bird to eat the

890

: 00:36:43

Tilly: proud of.

891

: 00:36:43

Just how it goes.

892

: 00:36:44

How

893

: 00:36:45

Dan 1: How does it go?

894

: 00:36:46

Go on, then.

895

: 00:36:46

Go on,

896

: 00:36:47

Tilly: then.

897

: 00:36:47

Go

898

: 00:36:47

Dan 1: Go on, then.

899

: 00:36:48

Tilly: There wasn't a

woman who swallowed a fly.

900

: 00:36:50

I don't know why she swallowed a fly.

901

: 00:36:52

Perhaps she'll die.

902

: 00:36:53

Dan 1: Perhaps she'll die.

903

: 00:36:56

Tilly: And

904

: 00:36:56

Dan 1: basically to kill the

905

: 00:36:58

Tilly: She swallowed the

spider to eat the fly.

906

: 00:37:00

Brickle and tickle and

tickle and slide her.

907

: 00:37:02

I don't know why she swallowed the fly.

908

: 00:37:04

Perhaps she'll die.

909

: 00:37:05

And then it carries on and on

until she eats like a fucking cow.

910

: 00:37:06

Cow with a lonely

911

: 00:37:08

Dan 1: Because cows are

known for being predators.

912

: 00:37:09

Okay,

913

: 00:37:19

Tilly: and then he came across

this like Family of vampires, but

914

: 00:37:22

they didn't eat people anymore.

915

: 00:37:23

They used to like live off cow blood

So they didn't eat people but then the

916

: 00:37:26

cows became vampire cows and you see

these like cows floating through the air

917

: 00:37:29

of like Vampire teeth and glowing red

eyes I think it was called little, yeah,

918

: 00:37:35

Dan 1: a dream you had.

919

: 00:37:36

Tilly: no, it's not it's a film Back

me up people comment what it's called.

920

: 00:37:43

He was an American guy who came to

England There's a little American kid

921

: 00:37:47

who got moved to England, I think.

922

: 00:37:49

And they came across, like,

this old vampire family.

923

: 00:37:52

And they were like, they

were good guys, but they were

924

: 00:37:54

vampires, they didn't eat people.

925

: 00:37:55

Dan 1: Vampires are always in the Midwest.

926

: 00:37:57

Everyone knows this.

927

: 00:37:57

The US has a real

vampire from the Midwest.

928

: 00:38:00

Trump supporters and vampires.

929

: 00:38:02

That's all who live there.

930

: 00:38:03

Tilly: think they went to Cornwall.

931

: 00:38:04

I don't know, but I

932

: 00:38:05

Dan 1: be fair, yeah, Cornwall.

933

: 00:38:07

I love Cornwall, I'm from Cornwall,

but it's pretty fucking remote.

934

: 00:38:10

That's probably why there's no

trains or anything there, because the

935

: 00:38:12

vampires have been lobbying for it.

936

: 00:38:14

You wanna get here within five hours?

937

: 00:38:16

No.

938

: 00:38:16

Tilly: I feel like it's a lot

939

: 00:38:20

Dan 1: That's true.

940

: 00:38:20

Tilly: sunlight.

941

: 00:38:21

Dan 1: they're probably on

the Isle of Skye or something.

942

: 00:38:23

They're up in,

943

: 00:38:23

Tilly: it's dark for half a year.

944

: 00:38:27

Dan 1: they probably live in Shetland.

945

: 00:38:28

Tilly: cups.

946

: 00:38:29

But can you imagine

947

: 00:38:31

Dan 1: Fluffy cows are hard as a bite.

948

: 00:38:35

Tilly: a vampire highland coup?

949

: 00:38:35

Okay.

950

: 00:38:37

No,

951

: 00:38:39

Dan 1: what else did I want to talk about?

952

: 00:38:41

I think that was it.

953

: 00:38:42

Okay.

954

: 00:38:43

Did we have anything?

955

: 00:38:44

There was something that was

on my mind, but never mind.

956

: 00:38:49

Yeah, so, I think that might

957

: 00:38:51

Tilly: Alright.

958

: 00:38:52

So, stay tuned for more

ramblings next week.

959
