Welcome to " 5 Months In Already!", you've got me for the intro as everyone's

2

asleep after a Scotland road trip,

but that is for a future episode.

3

We've almost hit the half-year mark

of this wild ride called parenting.

4

In today's episode, we're peeling

back the curtain on our lives,

5

which, like Tilly's chunky and nutty

banana bread, is a delicious blend

6

of sweet moments and chaotic crumbs.

7

We'll celebrate the richness of family

with grandparent tales, contemplate

8

the spirituality of naming days,

and chuckle over the unexpected

9

humor in baby's innocent gestures.

10

Tilly: 5 months, baby!

11

Dan 1: It's a bit of a milestone week,

12

Tilly: I can't believe

we're almost at half a year.

13

That seems mental to me.

14

Dan 1: Like, I don't talk

15

Tilly: feel like we've

been parents that long.

16

No, it's

17

Dan 1: No, it's still creeping up on me.

18

There we are.

19

Almost

20

Tilly: But there we are, a whole,

almost half a year with you.

21

Dan 1: Because it's strange,

because I'm used to the idea that

22

I've got her, but I'm not used

to the idea that I'm a parent.

23

Tilly: parent.

24

I know, I keep hearing stuff about

Mother's Day and I'm like, and I don't,

25

I don't think about that's for me now.

26

I'm like, oh god, what am I going

to do for my mum and your mum?

27

And grandparents and grandmas and stuff.

28

And I'm like, oh wait, people

got two things for me this year.

29

It's my day as well now.

30

Because last year I was pregnant

for Mother's Day and you got

31

me a card and that was nice.

32

Obviously it's, what?

33

It's a bit

34

Dan 1: just feel like you're laying on the

35

Tilly: Explanations.

36

Dan 1: the great

37

Tilly: It sounded

38

Dan 1: for No.

39

It sounded a bit like, yeah last

year I was pregnant and I got a

40

card, this year I've got a baby.

41

No, but

42

Tilly: but you know, it's

43

Dan 1: it's

44

Tilly: obviously more meaningful

now she's here and with us because

45

we were still nervous at that time.

46

When we were pregnant on

Mother's Day last year.

47

Dan 1: year.

48

Tilly: Um, Bebba is very wiggly

and energetic this morning.

49

She's on one today, isn't she?

50

Yeah, you might need

51

Dan 1: Yeah, you might need

to put it back on her boobie.

52

Tilly: might need to.

53

Dan 1: need to.

54

Alright,

55

Tilly: With Mumma one second

56

I've already eaten

57

Dan 1: I know we say that we

58

Tilly: we have got

homemade goods this week.

59

Dan 1: over One second.

60

I know we say we record

this podcast over dinner.

61

Tilly: to put that down.

62

Dan 1: But as my energetic

wife, I'm Was reminding me.

63

We're currently are eating, I'm

eating banana bread that she lovingly

64

Tilly: it's, it's monster, I

call it monster banana bread just

65

because it's got everything in it.

66

So it's, it's your classic

banana bread recipe.

67

Which I am quite well known for.

68

I make a pretty good banana

bread producer myself.

69

Dan 1: Um, and I've

70

Tilly: Um, And then I've shoved it full

of everything, because I had loads of

71

stuff in the cupboard I wanted to use up.

72

So we've got toasted almonds,

macadamias, because we're bougie.

73

Dan 1: Um, it's

74

Tilly: I know.

75

Um, it's got a little bit of halva in

it, not enough that you wouldn't like

76

it, but there was like a little bit

left in the tub that I wanted to use up.

77

So some pistachio halva.

78

Dan 1: It's

79

Tilly: also got some dark chocolate chunks

and some hazelnut milk chocolate in it.

80

So nutty.

81

Dan 1: Mmm.

82

Tilly: And then you've got a cup of tea.

83

Um,

84

Dan 1: Queenie, Princess Kilimanjaro,

what's it to you without sugar?

85

Um, I mean I'll still take it, I

just really don't actually like it

86

that much, it's a bit too tannin y.

87

I

88

Tilly: too tan in it.

89

Dan 1: Well I more think that I need

to slowly decrease the amount of sugar.

90

Tilly: That's fair enough, I

thought I had done that with you.

91

Dan 1: No, going from one to zero is

a very, literally a binary difference.

92

It needs to be like a,

93

Tilly: you down from 2.

94

Dan 1: yeah, it needs to be like

a one to three quarters to half

95

to a quarter to Because it's

96

Tilly: a very different

97

Dan 1: different taste of

zero sugar Oh, well I'm sure

98

Tilly: Um, and I've got a

lovely cup of coffee, with some

99

collagen in it, protein coffee.

100

And I've got a square of dark

chocolate, and three brazil nuts.

101

Dan 1: three desserts Oh.

102

Tilly: I know.

103

Wild.

104

Bubba's got breast milk for her snack.

105

Dan 1: But she's been trying bananas.

106

She's not bothered by food.

107

She's reaching for the food when we

108

Tilly: like, I don't get banana bread.

109

Dan 1: been reaching

110

Tilly: Not yet.

111

Back to your weaning, baby.

112

Mum will make you sugar free banana bread.

113

Yeah.

114

She's not bothered by food.

115

She's reaching for food when we have it

now, but I think that's more just because

116

she's reaching for stuff than it's food.

117

Dan 1: Yeah.

118

Tilly: trying to put her

hand in my hot coffee.

119

Oh.

120

I'm like, mum's coffee.

121

She wants it.

122

Dan 1: wants it.

123

Um,

124

Tilly: Um, two, I'm not sure

you're ready for coffee yet.

125

Yeah.

126

If you like the taste, um, I'll give you

127

Dan 1: the teacup.

128

You

129

Tilly: that's fine.

130

You're not having caffeine for a

131

Dan 1: Daddy will think you're a bit

weird if you don't taste coffee, to be

132

Tilly: Mum thought you'd wait for her

to taste the tea, but there you go.

133

Dan 1: of tea, there you go.

134

Haha.

135

You're a sadist.

136

Tilly: Whose side are you gonna pick?

137

Or are you gonna like hot brown?

138

Dan 1: Oh, yeah.

139

Mixing the two.

140

Tilly: getting very

141

Dan 1: Alright.

142

Yeah, she just keeps

kicking the fucking mic.

143

I was trying to

144

Tilly: feeding her.

145

Dan 1: feeding her

146

Tilly: Yesterday.

147

Did you keep trying to

keep my laptop off there?

148

I'm sure.

149

Making it difficult for me to multitask.

150

Anyway, this week, you're back home again.

151

Not in work every day.

152

Dan 1: Um, which is nice.

153

I still went in on Monday and

then after that I was working

154

from home the rest of the week.

155

Whereas I was in work two days this week.

156

And how did you find

157

Tilly: lovely.

158

Whereas I was in work two days this week.

159

So that was a bit different, wasn't it?

160

How did you find it?

161

Um,

162

Dan 1: that bit before

you go where I'm like, I

163

Tilly: think there's always that

bit before I go in where I'm

164

like, I don't want to go in.

165

Dan 1: an hour drive, um, an

166

Tilly: Just as you know, it's an

hour drive, um, and I'm working, and

167

then an hour coming home, and it's,

part of me is kind of like, oh, it's

168

more productive actually if I just

work from home, because I'm not,

169

Dan 1: I'm not, because

170

Tilly: because I have, I have a

limited window where I can work for

171

when I need to come home and feed her.

172

And then I've got to sort of take

two hours out of that for the drive.

173

Dan 1: Yeah.

174

Um, so I do work

175

Tilly: so I do work once I'm home,

sort of make up the hours, but

176

it was, it was, it was good.

177

And yesterday I was sitting on some

training that I organized before

178

I'd gone on leave, so that was nice

to see that actually happening.

179

on Thursday, my mum looked

after her as always and she

180

went to see Nanny Gramps and

181

Dan 1: I think

182

Tilly: loved her.

183

40 pounds.

184

Whoa,

185

Dan 1: hard cash money.

186

Tilly: cash money.

187

In fresh 20 notes.

188

Spend on stuff for you, so you're

gonna get some new baby grows.

189

I mean, I won't spend 20

quid on new baby grows,

190

Dan 1: babies.

191

Forty?

192

No, for

193

Tilly: quid, even.

194

I'm waiting for you to spend 20.

195

So, we'll have extra money

left over for fun things.

196

Sweeties!

197

No, not

198

Dan 1: So they'll be, they'll

be in a cupboard for four years.

199

Tilly: And mum will have them.

200

You can't buy kerosene through

mum's milk., And then, on Friday,

201

which I had my dad looking after,

didn't we, for the first time.

202

He's been to visit her.

203

But he's not looked after by

himself yet, so that was sort of,

204

starting out.

205

Because we'd like, you know,

all our parents to have

206

quite a good involvement, so.

207

Dan 1: Yeah.

208

And amongst these other

209

Tilly: Also, my mum's in South East,

so they've already got a really good

210

relationship, my mum and my pops.

211

But your mum and my dad see her

a lot less, and don't really

212

spend time solidly with her.

213

Dan 1: think it's a very different

mindset, your, like, my mum and your

214

dad versus your pops and your mum.

215

Because they've already got young

grandchildren, and so they've had

216

that phase of realising that you've

got to go back into that sort of

217

Tilly: kids TV

218

Dan 1: kids TV presenter,

bubbly, excitable.

219

Yeah.

220

Whereas I think for both your dad and

my mum, That's still something that

221

they're trying to adjust to, as it

222

Tilly: Well, yeah, and also

like my, my mom and my pops

223

Dan 1: took to being grandparents

224

Tilly: took degree

grandparents really well.

225

They were super excited

being grandparents,

226

Dan 1: be involved with

227

Tilly: um, and really wanted to be

involved grandparents and wanted to

228

make sure that they look after the

kids and build that relationship

229

Dan 1: be that sort of

230

Tilly: and to be that sort of

secondary parental figures for them.

231

and so they went into it like that

was, I think your mom and my dad don't

232

have that same view of grandparents.

233

Dan 1: Yeah.

234

But then I think

235

Tilly: For them I think it's that person

that you see infrequently and they

236

sort of treat you with and they go.

237

Probably.

238

Dan 1: Yeah, probably.

239

Tilly: Um, which is, you know, how a

lot of grandparents are but I think

240

you and me are wanting them to be

more the involved ones if possible.

241

Dan 1: more involved.

242

Yeah, so we can be less involved though.

243

Tilly: Well no, it's just that we know

there's, there's real benefits to multi

244

generational bringing up of children.

245

Dan 1: children.

246

Yeah, and in all seriousness, it's

a handy, given that, you know, I

247

mean, your dad's a bit of a way away,

but my mum's only an hour away, so.

248

Tilly: And like dad just

stays with us, doesn't he?

249

And that's also quite nice.

250

My dad lives not by himself.

251

He's got lodges, but he's alone.

252

Is it where it's not?

253

He hasn't got a partner.

254

That's harsh.

255

But he is like, he's, he's

256

Dan 1: he's literally not

alone, given that he's got

257

lodgers in his house, but yes.

258

Tilly: He's partnerless.

259

Um, he's definitely not loveless.

260

And so, He just stays with us for

a night or two, around it, which is

261

to have dinner with him and see him.

262

Um, and it's obviously not such a big

263

Dan 1: It's always awkward what to

do in the evening, because we can't

264

fit the three of us on the sofa.

265

Tilly: us

266

Dan 1: So here's to sit on an armchair.

267

Now armchairs don't face the projector, it

was fine when we had the mirror behind us.

268

Now we don't have the mirror behind us.

269

I always just kind of feel a

bit awkward, because I'm like,

270

I've reached the end of the day.

271

I just want to put something on telly

and just watch something and then I'm

272

like, but you can't see what's going on.

273

I

274

Tilly: I think it's also pretty

quite good for us to not have a TV.

275

Dan 1: not have it too deep.

276

Ahhhh!

277

Ha

278

Tilly: I know.

279

Dan 1: ha!

280

Um, and also you've got

281

Tilly: Um, and also you've got to

remember like once Zoe's eating,

282

we will be eating at the table, we

won't be eating for the TV at the

283

Dan 1: seeing.

284

Ahhhh!

285

Ha ha ha ha!

286

Because

287

Tilly: Because that's really

important, family dinner times.

288

Yes.

289

Dan 1: Ha ha

290

Tilly: Yes.

291

Oh no.

292

Dan 1: Ha ha ha!

293

Tilly: But I think it was quite

a shock to dad, wasn't it?

294

He's obviously not been

around babies for a long time.

295

And he's forgotten, yeah, she's

not running around and stuff

296

yet, but she still needs a lot

of involvement and attention.

297

Dan 1: Yeah.

298

So he took her to Rhyme

299

Tilly: Um, so he took her to Rhyme

Time, that was just up the road, so

300

he pushed her in the pram up to there.

301

My dad's got quite bad

arthritis in his ankles,

302

Dan 1: so

303

Tilly: um, and so walking's

quite hard for him.

304

And so by the time we got back he

was kind of a bit tired and sore,

305

and I think probably a bit fed up.

306

Dan 1: And she was

having quite a needy day.

307

Tilly: Yeah.

308

Dan 1: And she settles a lot

easier if she's being sort

309

of balanced while standing.

310

And so I think your dad found that

a bit frustrating because, you know,

311

his, his ankles had already hurt

from going up and down to rhyme time

312

and then trying to, having to keep

kind of settling her by standing and

313

walking to the window to the back door

and all that I think A lot of steps

314

versus what he's used to, as it were.

315

Tilly: yeah, I mean, hopefully it's

up to get himself in better shape for,

316

for granddad times., because we've

wanted him around for a long time.

317

Yeah, I've wanted to

be an involved grandad.

318

But, you've actually got to be fairly

fit to be a good grandparent, I think.

319

Yeah,

320

Dan 1: he's got to be fairly fit to

look after the kids in any capacity.

321

Yeah, but obviously, this is

322

Tilly: Yeah, but obviously it's

just hard to build it yet, I guess.

323

Dan 1: but you've still

324

Tilly: Like, in some ways, even if

you're young, I don't think you've

325

still got some, you've still got

the energy of youth, as it were.

326

Dan 1: Like, I'm, I'm intrigued

by what it's going to be like.

327

Your grandad versus my grandad.

328

Because your grandad, her great, her

great grandad on your side, obviously

329

spends a lot of time trying to stay fit.

330

Yeah,

331

Tilly: is his machine

332

Dan 1: Yeah, yeah.

333

Which was my grandad's old thing, but

he actually got told off for using it

334

too much because he used to use it too

infrequently, and now that he's got a

335

pacemaker, I think he got he got told

that he had to just do more light exercise

336

as it were rather than trying to every

trying to do lots of rowing every so

337

often says oh Nice, she's just been,

she's just spluttered, you'll probably

338

hear that on the mic, bit of sick.

339

Tilly: probably Burpee, shouldn't she?

340

You're happy with yourself

341

Dan 1: You're happy with yourself now,

342

Tilly: you?

343

She is!

344

After she expels, she's

always quite happy.

345

After she does a massive poo.

346

I don't know, he was pretty

happy with himself, aren't you?

347

Which is better than being

distressed, I suppose.

348

Dan 1: I suppose.

349

And so my grandad doesn't

really row anymore.

350

Um, and so he tries to stay fit in

terms of, he tries to stretch and he

351

wants keep his mobility, but they're

both very healthy for their age.

352

Um, just your, your granddad

obviously is doing a lot of exercise.

353

Whereas, Mine unfortunately with

the pacemaker and stuff like that

354

is limited in kind of what he can do

355

Tilly: um.

356

Your grandad's,

357

Dan 1: grandad's, like

you say, into rowing, TRX,

358

Tilly: Yeah, so he's supposed to

359

Dan 1: Well, so, yeah, so does he.

360

Well I

361

Tilly: That's what I was

362

Dan 1: isn't it?

363

That wasn't his instant drink most

364

Tilly: like to drink.

365

Dan 1: generation that doesn't

like the evening wine, isn't

366

Tilly: every day?

367

Dan 1: You have to drink it every day.

368

When

369

Tilly: drank?

370

Christmas.

371

We must have

372

Dan 1: time you drank?

373

Tilly: ago.

374

But like,

375

Dan 1: Unless I'm with people, you don't

count, unless I'm with like, yeah, unless

376

I'm like with other people and other

people are drinking, I won't have one.

377

So yeah, it must, it must

be Nick's birthday, I think

378

was the last time I drank.

379

Tilly: I drank.

380

Yeah.

381

Um,

382

Dan 1: Um, so what was that?

383

Yeah, that was mid Feb.

384

So yeah, about two weeks ago.

385

Tilly: Yeah, it's very

sporadic with us, isn't it?

386

Dan 1: Yeah, so sometimes I won't

have drunk for like, two months, and

387

sometimes I might have drunk like,

Might drink three times a week or

388

something, but it's never really like, uh

389

Tilly: Yeah, it's like, even at

Christmas, I'm breastfeeding,

390

so I wasn't drinking masses.

391

I think I had like a couple

of glasses here and there.

392

Dan 1: there.

393

Um, and I haven't had a

394

Tilly: Um, not like a proper

drink since the New Year's before.

395

Yeah, and then after that I've got

preggers with you, so that'll stop that.

396

That'll stop that!

397

Dan 1: about next weekend?

398

Tilly: Um, however, next weekend.

399

Next

400

Dan 1: got me and Tilly's best

friends to all turn 32 in March.

401

Tilly: Erin's birthday.

402

So, I've got me and two of my best

friends to all turn 30 within March.

403

Dan 1: party in Harbour

404

Tilly: So Auntie Erin, Zoe's guardian,

405

Dan 1: one.

406

Zoe's actually

407

Tilly: turns 30 on Friday, on

the 8th, and we're going to be

408

partying hard on the Saturday.

409

It's going to be great fun.

410

sleepover at Nana's, so maybe

on next Sunday on Mother's Day

411

we'll do a recording and you

can have a hungover one of me.

412

That's going to be like the first

time I've had a proper drink.

413

So I'm going to, one, be absolutely

lightweight, and two, just don't

414

know how it's going to affect me.

415

I don't generally get hangovers.

416

Dan 1: I'm just

417

Tilly: tired and not my best the next day.

418

But this could be it, you know, almost

30, maybe I'm going to get hangovers now.

419

Dan 1: be it, you know.

420

We're 30, maybe I'm going to get

421

Tilly: the big 3 0.

422

Dan 1: 30?

423

Tilly: I don't, I feel fine about

turning 30, it doesn't bother me.

424

I think it's a privilege to age.

425

Dan 1: it.

426

Really?

427

Tilly: better with age.

428

Yeah.

429

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I did

unless there was, unless something

430

Dan 1: sure I did, unless there

was Unless something happened

431

in my sleep that I don't recall.

432

And then in which case I don't count it

433

Tilly: know at all.

434

In which case, don't count it.

435

Yeah, maybe.

436

Dan 1: it.

437

I was going to say I'd do

it in the next week or so.

438

Yeah.

439

That's just unlikely.

440

Tilly: She's a pretty good tie.

441

I think I want to go,

like, quick shag with her.

442

It was we've not shagged.

443

I don't think I'm going to shag anyone

444

Dan 1: don't get me started on

445

Tilly: But tonight, as we

say all the time, maybe.

446

But actually, next weekend we are.

447

We're

448

Dan 1: excited about

449

Tilly: Of course I'm excited.

450

Dan 1: like three weeks

451

Tilly: not three weeks,

it's a week time now.

452

Okay,

453

Dan 1: but you've been excited about

454

Tilly: it.

455

Have you not?

456

No, because I've just thought

457

Dan 1: No, because I've just thought to

myself, if this really matters, we can

458

manufacture a way of doing it sooner.

459

It does

460

Tilly: with her,

461

Dan 1: it's nice the idea of her

462

Tilly: And it's nice the idea of her

not being here, like that's quite

463

exciting to me, like, we can have sex

and there's not risk of her waking

464

up and us having to stop and be

interrupted, she won't be here, we can

465

do it, we could do it multiple times,

we could do it really slowly, there's

466

no need to be like quickly, just put

it in, you know, that's quite exciting.

467

Yeah, and then it's Mother's Day!

468

First Mother's Day.

469

Dan 1: Ooh.

470

Ooh.

471

Tilly: Move that bib around.

472

Vomiting, of course, would be very Well,

473

Dan 1: You're vomiting at the thought

474

Tilly: we're going

475

Dan 1: parents having sex.

476

Well that's how you

477

Tilly: to make you a sibling, so

478

Dan 1: you a sibling, so.

479

That's not how,

480

Tilly: with a dog.

481

We've got

482

Dan 1: Fatty boy the dog.

483

That's what I

484

Tilly: surprise kid.

485

Bubba is really discovering

her hands now, isn't

486

Dan 1: so strange when she

487

Tilly: of like, will cry sometimes and

then stop and just look at her hands.

488

And be like, wow.

489

Oh my god, my hand.

490

My hand.

491

Yeah.

492

And then suddenly she realizes

that she can move her feet as well.

493

And you see her hands and her

feet and she's like, What?

494

My mind is blown!

495

I think it must be so strange,

because her hands are short

496

Dan 1: Touch all four at

once and you'll just melt.

497

Tilly: at

498

Dan 1: Just psychologically melt.

499

Tilly: Psychologically, no.

500

Dan 1: going to get crazy

about it next weekend.

501

For 10 months.

502

Once we do this apart.

503

Oh yeah?

504

Yeah.

505

Tilly: yeah, and she's also got all

her girlfriends coming over, they're

506

gonna have a little cuddle with you.

507

I used to babysit all my mum's friends

kids when I was, when I was younger,

508

so, it's gonna be a long time.

509

can babysit mine.

510

Dan 1: And then they're all gonna be

like, oh, it's just, just three, four

511

more years until this is my, for me.

512

Tilly: some of them have already got,

one of them's already got grandkids.

513

Dan 1: care.

514

Tilly: What we've been talking about this

week is Bubba, isn't it, and her party.

515

Dan 1: Baba

516

Tilly: The about christenings,

or dedications, or

517

Dan 1: okay, I didn't know we

were talking about this on here.

518

Tilly: Yeah, sure.

519

Dan 1: No, I don't mind

talking about it on here.

520

I'm just curious if you

want to talk about it.

521

Yeah, sure.

522

Tilly: want to talk about?

523

No,

524

Dan 1: No, I'm happy to.

525

I mean, we can talk about all sorts.

526

Tilly: talk about.

527

Sure.

528

There's a rich pool.

529

Dan 1: You know, she's been, like I

say, she's been discovering her hands.

530

Tilly: our hands,

531

Dan 1: She's been sitting up.

532

We were talking, she's now, she's, she's

always loved sitting up, but she's now.

533

Tilly: That's pretty

534

Dan 1: to be vertical, don't you?

535

You're not a, you're not

536

Tilly: You wanna be in the

world involved in it, don't you?

537

You're not passive.

538

Dan 1: going to raise a passive child.

539

It's

540

Tilly: We, I think we were never

gonna raise a passive child.

541

She's definitely not that.

542

She's very curious, which is great.

543

It means curious is a lot more at work.

544

I think if you're a curious child,

you have to constantly like show

545

things to them and explore and

answer their questions and stuff.

546

But I'd much rather that

547

Dan 1: don't really need to

worry when they're older.

548

Because, if you, if they're curious, they

kind of, it's a lot of hard work up front.

549

And then they kind of set

themselves up for life.

550

Whereas if you just Very passive

and just let the world go by.

551

You then spend your adult life being

like, well you spend your, your, your

552

adult parent life kind of worrying like.

553

Tilly: I'm not going to do anything.

554

Dan 1: Yeah.

555

Tilly: Yeah.

556

Um, but I think probably most time

passive people raise passive people.

557

Dan 1: very curious.

558

I don't remember

559

Tilly: Um, but we're

both very curious people.

560

I can remember, oh, I was speaking to

my mum earlier because we were talking

561

about Zoe and how curious she is.

562

She's like, oh, it's great,

you were exactly the same.

563

I was like, I know, I remember all my

report cards from school being like, She's

564

very inquisitive, and they were saying

it in an obviously annoying way, because

565

I was constantly asking questions, which

566

Dan 1: which

567

Tilly: teachers should like, but obviously

I imagine it can't get a big rating.

568

She's got loads of little

kids being like, why?

569

Why?

570

Why?

571

Why?

572

Why?

573

Dan 1: I think you were more curious

probably from an academic perspective,

574

I was more curious from a, from a

troublemaking perspective, in that I

575

wanted to see the, I wanted, I would, I

liked physical repercussions of things, so

576

often that meant things would get broken.

577

Because it'd be like, what happens if

this, and the, you know, what happens

578

if these two things, or what happens if

I throw this thing, or what happens if,

579

you know, I stamp on this thing, what

happens, so it was always a, a curiosity,

580

but it was, it was quite annoying for

teachers to have to handle, because it

581

was like, It was an exploration of the

physical world, be it like, running

582

into bushes, or, you know, picking

stuff out of trees, eating things, or

583

Tilly: I definitely wasn't academic,

I wouldn't say academic, with

584

Dan 1: wasn't academic.

585

More theoretical, as it were.

586

Tilly: I wanted to know

why and how things worked.

587

Yeah.

588

So

589

Dan 1: I wasn't as bothered by the

why, I was more bothered by the

590

how, and that was the physical how.

591

Um, and

592

Tilly: and often I'd ask things that they

wouldn't necessarily expect me to ask.

593

And I think they would throw

594

Dan 1: bit.

595

And it made the teachers uncomfortable,

596

Tilly: Or it made things,

teachers, uncomfortable.

597

I never understood why it made

them uncomfortable, and I'd be

598

like, I want to know these things.

599

You know, why wouldn't you tell me that?

600

Or like, I'd ask some questions

about, I remember in our remake

601

in my tea, one of my teachers cry.

602

I was just want to know things.

603

Why are you crying about it?

604

Because I was asking

605

Dan 1: Because I was asking

606

Tilly: Jesus and stuff.

607

Dan 1: and I would

608

Tilly: And I've not been raised religious.

609

Dan 1: mean, to

610

Tilly: to write an essay and I wrote

one about how Jesus could have been

611

considered a terrorist of his time.

612

Yeah,

613

Dan 1: Yeah, no, I mean, you were, you

were, um, you were a bit before your

614

time, because there was a, there was

quite a controversial, was it a film

615

or series that was all about that?

616

know.

617

In the last five, ten years?

618

I

619

Tilly: think they

620

Dan 1: Maybe they've stolen it from you.

621

Tilly: from you.

622

But I think, like, how

623

Dan 1: like, how pathetic do you need

to be as a teacher to find that, like,

624

Tilly: it's a

625

Dan 1: So, like, it's a kid's opinion.

626

I

627

Tilly: I know.

628

And I wasn't mean about it.

629

I wasn't being malicious.

630

I wasn't being like, God,

he's a piece of shit.

631

You know, I was just, like,

you know, explaining what he

632

could have been considered.

633

And then she was like, how good was that?

634

And I was just like, well,

tell me why he isn't.

635

Dan 1: he isn't.

636

Explain to

637

Tilly: Explain to me, like,

why he couldn't be considered.

638

I get, like, I'm not

saying he was a bad person.

639

Dan 1: saying he's a

640

Tilly: Also, everyone who

641

Dan 1: who does

642

Tilly: does these things

thinks they're right.

643

I'm

644

Dan 1: not a

645

Tilly: Do you know what I mean?

646

Terrorism is so generally for a reason.

647

Dan 1: not saying I agree with

648

Tilly: I'm not saying

I agree with terrorism.

649

I'm just saying, the person who's doing

it obviously thinks they're on the right.

650

Dan 1: going to think

they're on the right, and

651

Tilly: And their followers are

going to think they're on the right.

652

And that's just like, if you're a

Christian, you're a follower of Jesus.

653

I'm

654

Dan 1: a follower of Christ.

655

Tilly: follower of Christ.

656

But,

657

Dan 1: Yeah, I've

658

Tilly: Because I've always been like that.

659

And I'm not, I don't like accepting

sort of just the standard answer.

660

Dan 1: like, being too,

like, rigid in their

661

Tilly: Or like, people being too,

like, rigid in their thinking, I'm

662

like Yeah, that's a problem that I

663

Dan 1: Yeah, that's a problem that

I have , is when people just tell

664

me to do things, if I don't know the

why, it doesn't get done very well.

665

Tilly: the reason it

666

Dan 1: Whereas if someone explains

the why, and I'm like, actually

667

that's reasonably good, I'll go after

it wholeheartedly, but if I think

668

I'm just being asked to do a job

for a job's sake, it's It's a bit

669

of a shit task, really, the output.

670

You're like that, you're

seeing something, like, we all

671

Tilly: that with your opinions

aren't like we, we'll, we'll

672

discuss things and you'll be like,

673

Dan 1: this, this,

674

Tilly: no.

675

And I'll be like, well, think

about this, this, this, and this.

676

And

677

Dan 1: very strong

678

Tilly: oh, okay.

679

So you're someone who's got very strong

opinions, but you're not not open to

680

other opinions, which is what I really

love about you, because if you believe

681

something, you'll really fight for it.

682

Dan 1: it.

683

Tilly: But if we're discussing

something and you can, and you can see.

684

Other reasons, other opinions, and

you'll be like, oh yeah, I never

685

thought about it from that angle.

686

Dan 1: angry.

687

Strong opinions loosely held.

688

Tilly: Yeah.

689

That's important.

690

That should

691

Dan 1: I think it's important, because

you've got to be able, because I think

692

you need to have, firstly, like you say,

you need to be able to fight for things,

693

and secondly, you need to be able to

actually, you know, in this world, so

694

many people either don't have an opinion,

or just have an opinion that they either

695

won't consider or haven't considered.

696

Tilly: Whereas most of mine are either

697

Dan 1: Whereas most of mine are either

considered or I'm open to considering them

698

Tilly: I ended up having a fun

699

Dan 1: hence why a few

weeks ago I ended up

700

Tilly: Communist Party.

701

Dan 1: Having a fun discussion of the

Reading, the Reading Communist Party.

702

Didn't I say?

703

Tilly: how you

704

Dan 1: Didn't I say?

705

Oh yeah, we had the

Jehovah's around as well.

706

Discussing with them.

707

Tilly: I was trying not

708

Dan 1: I was trying not to discuss

with them I was just gonna let them say

709

their piece, gonna take their Little

manuscripts and then crack on with my day.

710

You were like,

711

Tilly: the

712

Dan 1: but you don't like women

713

Tilly: didn't say that, I didn't

714

Dan 1: women

715

Tilly: like women.

716

I said I don't think it's necessarily

the best environment for women.

717

The guy at the back had a really annoying

face, I just, I couldn't ignore him.

718

I was like, alright, let's fucking go.

719

That's the girl.

720

The guy at the front was

alright, he was quite friendly.

721

Nice guy, you know, cool coat.

722

Thank you.

723

But, can I swing it back?

724

I was like, you've got a

smug little pricky face.

725

I was just like, I

726

Dan 1: like, I can't be bothered

with this shit right now, but

727

I don't wanna be rude to you.

728

So say your piece.

729

I'll take your little pamphlet,

I'll read it while I'm next, taking

730

a shit, and then I'll toss it.

731

Tilly: and

732

Dan 1: And you were like, let's

have a discussion about whether

733

Jehovahs a great for women or not,

734

Which brings us background to

the topic of christening or so.

735

Um, I guess.

736

We, um, I believe in a God, and I

think it is likely the Christian God.

737

I, um, usually quite wary of discussing

that because when you talk about, um,

738

religion, people, I'm very hesitant to

say what I believe in because People

739

aren't asking you what you believe in,

people are trying to align you with

740

what they believe your beliefs are.

741

Yeah.

742

I.

743

e.

744

they've got a preconception

of what Christianity is or

745

whatever religion it is.

746

And so people are often quite taken aback

when you kind of go, Oh, I'm this religion

747

or that religion because they kind of go,

I didn't, I didn't think you would be.

748

Tilly: Mmm.

749

And

750

Dan 1: And that sort of thing and that's

because people always have their own

751

kind of, It's something that everyone's

got a view of, and people don't ever

752

really, seek to understand what your

view of it is, people just then decide

753

to align you with their view of it.

754

Tilly: Yeah.

755

Dan 1: Um, so, and for that reason, I

don't actually, you know, I'm, I'm yet

756

to find a church that I kind of agree

with, because I think that it's something

757

that can span so many viewpoints

and can be so different in, um, how

758

people decide to live their faith.

759

and I think that it's an individual.

760

You know, the whole premise of it is

that you have a relationship with whoever

761

your deity is, as it were, like, whoever

you believe in, that's a personal thing.

762

.

so, I'm always hesitant

763

Tilly: hesitant

764

Dan 1: to create this group think whereby,

you know, I entrust one person who stands

765

on a stage to tell me how I should feel

Cause, I mean, the way I think about it

766

is, I would never get married to somebody

that I never got to physically meet.

767

And the only way I got to know

about them was through someone else.

768

Do you see what I mean?

769

Like, can you imagine if you were

married, you never met the person, and

770

every once a week you just went to a

service with loads of other people.

771

And they constantly told you how

you should feel about your partner.

772

Tilly: It's got

773

Dan 1: It's kind of a very

weird concept, as it were.

774

That's kind of how I think about it.

775

And I just think that it's

an individual relationship.

776

And therefore I'm very hesitant about it.

777

But, um, and that's for a load of,

you know, deeper and, Other reasons to

778

do with my dad earlier on in life and

lots of things that I don't really want

779

to go into right now because that is

like a whole podcast episode of shite.

780

Um, and so given that I want to do a

blessing, which is effectively the idea

781

of, you know, um, To provide so the idea

being that God blesses her and I hope

782

you know if she was to unfortunately

die or whatever She could go to heaven

783

Because obviously, you know, I'm not

I'm not trying to say that kids who

784

die don't but you don't know as it were

785

Tilly: to me this

786

Dan 1: To me, this is just maybe

a way of increasing the chances.

787

Yeah, hedging your bets effectively

Now, the other, the options are kind

788

of, to christen, to dedicate, or to, um,

789

Tilly: or what

790

Dan 1: bless, or what was the other one?

791

Tilly: So, um, you can

792

Dan 1: Oh yeah, naming ceremony.

793

So, um,

794

Tilly: You know, there are all

these options, and so christening

795

is one of them, which, you know,

796

Dan 1: I don't want to do because

I think you should have the choice.

797

So for example, I'm not baptized

just because I'm not yet at the point

798

that I think I'm willing to make

that commitment because I don't.

799

You know, I don't feel like I'm, you know,

I don't have a church, so I wouldn't,

800

I wouldn't know where I'd get baptized.

801

I don't really have a Christian

community that I'm part of, partly

802

because I want to find my own,

define my own relationship first.

803

Therefore, I don't want to enforce

kind of any viewpoints or beliefs or

804

have her make decisions before she's

able to, um, and therefore blessing

805

is the one that I think suits best.

806

I get that obviously it's not a solid

agreement whereby the church suddenly

807

say at the age of 16 when she says,

I'm not religious, they go, well, you,

808

your parents made a decision for you.

809

Tilly: Tough shit you are now.

810

Dan 1: But, um, but still, it's

just a case of, you know, having her

811

actually make the choice for herself.

812

Yeah, more boo boo.

813

And also I guess

814

Tilly: also, I guess it fits

better into our blend of

815

religiousness and non religiousness.

816

Because, although I wouldn't have had a

problem, I wouldn't have had a problem.

817

If you decided you wanted

her to be christened,

818

Dan 1: meant a

819

Tilly: if that meant a lot to

you, absolutely fine with it.

820

Like, you know, we got

married in a church.

821

Dan 1: got

822

Tilly: And so, through our

relationship we've made it work.

823

Because it's always been

a discussion for us.

824

You know, when we first met, I

remember, not when we first met,

825

but we'd been dating for a while.

826

I remember sitting down with

him and going, Look, like,

827

I know you're religious.

828

I have no issue with that.

829

You know, I'm supportive of that.

830

I'm not religious.

831

You know, is this at some point going to

be a , problem for us in our relationship?

832

I mean, you know, that was a

discussion we had at that point.

833

You know,

834

Dan 1: wasn't because

835

Tilly: we decided it wasn't because I was

fine with being part of the community.

836

Like I attended church in the

past and I'm happy to do so again.

837

Dan 1: Because for me it's

838

Tilly: Because for me, it's

not just the religion, it's the

839

community you build around it.

840

Dan 1: you go.

841

And this is just the

842

Tilly: this is just the next step

in our discussion for us, isn't it?

843

Dan 1: Yeah.

844

Um, definitely feels

845

Tilly: It definitely feels more

fitting for us to have a dedication.

846

Dan 1: a dedication.

847

Yeah.

848

So I need to get on with that

at some point, or I can just

849

make it her first birthday.

850

Tilly: sort of discussing it on

and off haven't we for a while.

851

And then we

852

Dan 1: we

853

Tilly: I know we could get a christened

and you know, like you said earlier,

854

if people get christened and they don't

necessarily feel dedicated to the church.

855

But I think you and me both believe

that if you make a commitment,

856

then you've made a commitment.

857

Dan 1: Yeah,

858

Tilly: And so we don't want to

make that commitment for her.

859

Dan 1: yeah, so gonna get a blessed

slash dedicated at some point

860

Tilly: it means we can properly

formally give her her godparents.

861

Yeah.

862

And her guardians and stuff.

863

You do?

864

Dan 1: Oh,

865

Tilly: it's a party.

886

Dan 1: And we've got a chuntering baby.

887

Tilly: What do you want to start with?

888

Dan 1: Um, okay.

889

So.

890

I'll start with my funny.

891

Um, this week.

892

She, as she's been getting

control of her hands.

893

She's mesmerized by them.

894

However, she's not got control of

her fingers So she often tries to

895

squeeze them together and it results

in the middle finger just popping out

896

Tilly: But then

897

Dan 1: But then she also stares very

intently at her hand and beyond her hand.

898

So it looks like

899

Tilly: sick.

900

So it looks terrible.

901

Ruining my

902

Dan 1: Ruining my story

baby girl, which is sick

903

Tilly: So

904

Dan 1: So it looks like she's just

swearing at you because she'll just

905

pop a middle finger and look straight

at you So we've got a very good photo

906

while she was With my mum, where she was

just staring through her finger at me.

907

Staring through a middle finger.

908

Okay, baby girl's going for a feed.

909

So that's my funny.

910

Middle finger baby.

911

Tilly: just

912

Dan 1: Just swearing at people.

913

She looks so intent when she does it as

914

Tilly: it.

915

Yeah.

916

Or she smiles as well.

917

She

918

Dan 1: She just pops

that middle finger up.

919

Tilly: It's like when she does a bit of

stick where she holds it in her mouth and

920

then smiles and then just lets it out.

921

That's just a stick that just sort

of like waterfalls out of her mouth.

922

She's

923

Dan 1: do you want?

924

We've just changed your nappy.

925

There's booby there.

926

You need to sleep.

927

Tilly: getting, yeah, that's it,

she's getting tired so she's getting

928

a bit, I don't know what I want.

929

Dan 1: what I want.

930

Tilly: So my low and funny

are kind of together though.

931

Dan 1: Is there any way

that you can keep her quiet?

932

Like, just, is there anything that we can

just put in her mouth for her to chew?

933

Tilly: just really shove her onto

934

Dan 1: Yeah,

935

Tilly: yeah.

936

Dan 1: in milk.

937

Boopy drowning.

938

Um, she was

939

Tilly: was feeding her, I was, maybe

it was like Sunday or something.

940

And suddenly, my god, she just

like bit down or something on my

941

nipple and it was such searing pain.

942

And she doesn't think she's got teeth here

but it felt like she bloody had teeth.

943

It was like, you were

in the room weren't you?

944

And I sort of, so I went, GASP!

945

Really loudly.

946

Because it was funny, it was

funny but it really hurt.

947

And again, she just sort of went,

she was shocked at the noise I

948

made, sort of popped up and looked

at me and then sort of smiled.

949

Dan 1: I have enjoyed that.

950

How she's mastered the sort

of, Pop off roll and look.

951

Yeah, so now if she's kind of had enough

feeding and we're trying to feed her for

952

whatever reason like maybe For example,

you've come back with a full boob

953

Tilly: I'm like, please take that baby!

954

Like the shit she's doing right now.

955

Dan 1: Or if I come into the room

and she wants to see what's going

956

on She'll just pop off roll her head

around and look really curiously

957

Tilly: Yeah, so that's kind of like, It

was mainly funny, but it did really hurt.

958

that was fun, wasn't it?

959

Dan 1: my low and funny

960

Tilly: I'm glad we've got

funny notes, this is good.

961

Dan 1: Was her um

962

Tilly: Her,

963

Dan 1: Her, her new Weird breathing Where

she just decides to I think stop breathing

964

Tilly: then she'll just start

breathing normally for like

965

Dan 1: normally for like 10 30

seconds And then do it again Seems

966

like she's started realizing that

she can control how she breathes.

967

Tilly: control how she breathes.

968

I

969

Dan 1: thought she was just

having fun holding her breath.

970

Tilly: her breath.

971

Might be.

972

In which case, let's not do that.

973

That's not fun.

974

That's when you start sleeping

by yourself in your cot, Mum and

975

Daddy will have a heart attack.

976

Um.

977

But yeah, it's very weird she does that.

978

So that was quite

979

Dan 1: So that was my low funny

980

Tilly: doesn't it?

981

Dan 1: we're like, what

the fuck's going on?

982

I was getting ready to

really clap her back.

983

Yeah.

984

Tilly: clap her

985

Dan 1: then she just

starts breathing again.

986

Tilly: she just starts screaming at me.

987

Look mate, you've

988

Dan 1: it?

989

No, you've got one to go, you

990

Tilly: low.

991

I've

992

Dan 1: you just combied

993

Tilly: combis.

994

Dan 1: lazy, that is.

995

Classic, you always do this.

996

Come out like some fucking positive mother

997

Tilly: not, but like, I just think

we've been really lucky with her.

998

Dan 1: with her.

999

We have, yeah.

00:34:30,030 --> 00:34:31,433

But just bitch about mundane.

00:34:34,424 --> 00:34:34,891

You can bitch

00:34:34,938 --> 00:34:36,166

Tilly: can bitch about

her hair if you want.

00:34:38,784 --> 00:34:41,170

Yeah, like most babies, she's

got like, random bits of hair.

00:34:41,170 --> 00:34:43,556

Bits have rubbed off, bits have gotten

really long, bits have only started

00:34:43,556 --> 00:34:45,178

to grow in, so she's got real patches.

00:34:45,178 --> 00:34:47,889

She's got sort of a really bad

rugby player mullet, hasn't she?

00:34:47,947 --> 00:34:49,559

Dan 1: really bad rugby player mullet.

00:34:49,609 --> 00:34:52,158

Tilly: kind of the vibe,

I just don't want to watch

00:34:52,460 --> 00:34:52,783

Dan 1: Bit

00:34:53,074 --> 00:34:53,380

Tilly: I

00:34:53,428 --> 00:34:53,751

Dan 1: hair.

00:34:53,751 --> 00:34:55,362

As long as I don't

00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:56,891

Tilly: be Milo if you want, I

can just bitch about a haircut.

00:34:56,891 --> 00:35:00,609

We might as well get a little bitching

in now so she can understand us.

00:35:00,845 --> 00:35:01,812

Dan 1: your high then?

00:35:01,812 --> 00:35:02,457

My high?

00:35:02,466 --> 00:35:04,647

Tilly: Because then we'll have

Slager off behind her back.

00:35:05,343 --> 00:35:06,647

what's been your high?

00:35:07,009 --> 00:35:07,628

My high?

00:35:07,971 --> 00:35:10,504

I really enjoyed her like, she's been

talking for a while, but this week her

00:35:10,504 --> 00:35:12,009

talking seems to have changed quite a bit.

00:35:12,009 --> 00:35:14,552

She started doing sort of more

like, sort of meowing, mewing, sort

00:35:14,552 --> 00:35:16,362

of like quite cute little meows.

00:35:16,947 --> 00:35:17,424

Noises.

00:35:17,728 --> 00:35:18,366

Not a lot she's doing

00:35:18,562 --> 00:35:20,752

Dan 1: going to spit up some

of her cottage cheese, is sick.

00:35:20,752 --> 00:35:20,984

I'm

00:35:21,014 --> 00:35:21,252

Tilly: Alright.

00:35:21,252 --> 00:35:22,700

I'll hold the bib like this.

00:35:22,792 --> 00:35:25,344

Dan 1: Yeah, so she's definitely

decided that she's started, she's

00:35:25,344 --> 00:35:26,611

learnt to change how she speaks

00:35:27,301 --> 00:35:28,701

Tilly: lot of variation in noises now.

00:35:29,663 --> 00:35:30,952

So I think that's been really sweet.

00:35:30,952 --> 00:35:31,616

It's been nice.

00:35:31,655 --> 00:35:31,999

Dan 1: nice.

00:35:31,999 --> 00:35:32,343

That's

00:35:32,350 --> 00:35:35,757

Tilly: sort of going, I can't

do them, but she's very cute.

00:35:35,757 --> 00:35:36,687

What about you?

00:35:36,687 --> 00:35:38,368

What's your high been?

00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,085

Dan 1: Um, low first.

00:35:40,090 --> 00:35:40,104

Tilly: fast.

00:35:40,504 --> 00:35:40,933

Okay.

00:35:40,933 --> 00:35:41,199

I think

00:35:42,209 --> 00:35:44,514

Dan 1: I think yesterday was a bit

frustrating, because I was like,

00:35:45,028 --> 00:35:47,533

I'm kind of meant to be working,

but at the same time, I had to

00:35:47,590 --> 00:35:48,781

try and make sure that everything

00:35:48,810 --> 00:35:49,489

Tilly: make sure

00:35:49,714 --> 00:35:51,542

Dan 1: tickety boo, because you

weren't in a good mood, were you?

00:35:51,863 --> 00:35:52,541

Tilly: to come

00:35:52,695 --> 00:35:53,790

Dan 1: So I wasn't able to work, and

00:35:53,897 --> 00:35:55,254

Tilly: wasn't able to work

00:35:55,500 --> 00:35:56,147

Dan 1: And leave you with,

00:35:56,271 --> 00:35:57,289

Tilly: you with Your

00:35:57,347 --> 00:36:00,309

Dan 1: yeah, your grandad, because you

weren't, you weren't too happy yesterday.

00:36:00,852 --> 00:36:02,481

You weren't in your most pliable of moods.

00:36:02,728 --> 00:36:04,218

Tilly: just trying to make sure that

00:36:04,233 --> 00:36:04,900

Dan 1: frustrating.

00:36:06,114 --> 00:36:06,390

Tilly: And

00:36:06,442 --> 00:36:07,395

Dan 1: then, Maihai.

00:36:07,919 --> 00:36:11,138

I think I've just enjoyed being back

more, because it means that I see

00:36:11,138 --> 00:36:15,414

her in the, you know, we spend time

in the evenings, in the mornings.

00:36:15,522 --> 00:36:16,057

Tilly: more family

00:36:16,176 --> 00:36:17,528

Dan 1: There's just a

lot more family time..

00:36:18,285 --> 00:36:19,952

Rather than just our family walks.

00:36:20,590 --> 00:36:20,904

Tilly: Yeah?

00:36:23,076 --> 00:36:25,219

Dan 1: So do you want to do your

skiddly bop bop and then we can get

00:36:25,219 --> 00:36:26,553

out of here before baby kicks off

00:36:26,575 --> 00:36:30,329

Tilly: can get outta here before

baby kicks off Skidly bop bop

00:36:30,333 --> 00:36:32,829

Dan 1: like how you, the last bit,

the scatch up, but you moved away.

00:36:33,059 --> 00:36:40,276

Tilly: Aaaaaaaah Right when you

get this thing and they go Have a

00:36:40,638 --> 00:36:43,748

good time, professional musician.

00:36:44,767 --> 00:36:45,433

So this week, we've had,

00:36:45,519 --> 00:36:47,929

Dan 1: I would like to apologise

for any of those noises that have

00:36:47,954 --> 00:36:49,214

Tilly: We've had

00:36:49,395 --> 00:36:50,853

Dan 1: through your audio,

through your headphones.

00:36:51,104 --> 00:36:54,195

Tilly: of explosive poos, haven't we?

00:36:54,195 --> 00:36:55,491

There's some big old poos.

00:36:56,233 --> 00:36:59,352

I think that the top one this week has

to be, I can't remember what outfit

00:36:59,352 --> 00:37:00,210

she's wearing,, But we were just

00:37:00,323 --> 00:37:00,537

Dan 1: a

00:37:00,610 --> 00:37:01,295

Tilly: having a feed on the sofa,

00:37:01,394 --> 00:37:02,464

Dan 1: and she sort of did

00:37:02,581 --> 00:37:06,786

Tilly: And she sort of did a little

wriggle, And then it, And this big poo

00:37:06,786 --> 00:37:08,138

came out, but it didn't seem that big.

00:37:09,252 --> 00:37:11,491

And then I felt my hand getting

a bit wet, holding her behind.

00:37:11,491 --> 00:37:12,976

I was like, oh, it's

obviously leaked a bit.

00:37:12,976 --> 00:37:14,738

And it turns out it had gone

all the way up her back and

00:37:14,738 --> 00:37:15,833

it had even gone into her ear.

00:37:16,376 --> 00:37:17,881

I don't understand how she managed it.

00:37:18,148 --> 00:37:20,748

We've got poo in the ear, it's

all up the neck, in the ear.

00:37:20,748 --> 00:37:23,748

I was doing re uns on the first clean, so

I sort of like picked her back up again

00:37:23,748 --> 00:37:25,610

and I was like, I've got poo on me still.

00:37:27,286 --> 00:37:29,086

And she had it all over her

shoulder and in her ear.

00:37:30,114 --> 00:37:31,486

Dan 1: That's very impressive

00:37:31,695 --> 00:37:31,991

Tilly: very impressive.

00:37:31,991 --> 00:37:32,933

It must have been some real force.

00:37:33,057 --> 00:37:34,733

Because it didn't feel

like it was that forceful.

00:37:35,229 --> 00:37:38,143

But we've had quite a few, sort

of, explosive poos this week.

00:37:39,667 --> 00:37:40,543

We had one last night.

00:37:41,114 --> 00:37:44,010

When we were going around doing our little

weekly food shop, which was in the poos.

00:37:44,010 --> 00:37:46,019

And I thought I could smell poo.

00:37:46,752 --> 00:37:47,876

But sometimes I just smell like poo.

00:37:48,162 --> 00:37:48,467

Well.

00:37:48,933 --> 00:37:50,219

So I wasn't sure if I

said poo or me somewhere.

00:37:50,610 --> 00:37:52,791

And I got you to smell her bum,

but you couldn't smell anything.

00:37:52,829 --> 00:37:55,124

And it turns out she had gone for a poo,

and then it leaked through everything.

00:37:56,162 --> 00:37:56,381

Dan 1: But

00:37:56,429 --> 00:37:57,200

Tilly: was a really

liquidy poo, wasn't it?

00:37:57,705 --> 00:38:00,048

The nappy seems to hold in,

like, the solids of the poo.

00:38:00,333 --> 00:38:00,524

And it's

00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,153

Dan 1: it's a bit like

one of those juicing

00:38:02,238 --> 00:38:03,514

Tilly: like a, yeah, like a shitty piss.

00:38:06,091 --> 00:38:07,100

Dan 1: It's like a juicing clock.

00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:08,743

Tilly: technically scatch up,

but she's done some weighty

00:38:09,276 --> 00:38:09,914

nappies this week, hasn't she?

00:38:09,967 --> 00:38:10,529

Dan 1: She has.

00:38:10,586 --> 00:38:11,091

They've been

00:38:11,111 --> 00:38:12,438

Tilly: should, we should

start weighing them.

00:38:12,624 --> 00:38:15,633

Dan 1: Started throwing something at

me just so you can feel the weight

00:38:15,638 --> 00:38:16,752

Tilly: But there was that one

that you didn't throw because

00:38:16,752 --> 00:38:17,410

you thought it might splatter.

00:38:17,776 --> 00:38:21,043

Dan 1: Yeah, there was so much one morning

that I wouldn't Usually we bundle them

00:38:21,043 --> 00:38:23,643

up into a ball and sort of throw them

on the floor in the corner of the room

00:38:23,776 --> 00:38:25,781

to be picked up in a A big group of

00:38:26,176 --> 00:38:26,605

Tilly: nappies.

00:38:26,867 --> 00:38:31,019

Dan 1: nappies, which sounds really

disgusting to have a little corner

00:38:31,019 --> 00:38:32,124

full of nappies in your bedroom.

00:38:32,781 --> 00:38:33,310

Tilly: I, that's fine.

00:38:33,514 --> 00:38:37,467

Dan 1: Um, but that one I wouldn't, I

wouldn't throw because I was, firstly,

00:38:37,467 --> 00:38:39,124

I couldn't see it like I do the others.

00:38:39,886 --> 00:38:42,838

And secondly, I thought that if I

did it would actually, like, splash.

00:38:43,152 --> 00:38:43,429

Tilly: yeah.

00:38:44,429 --> 00:38:44,657

I think we

00:38:44,714 --> 00:38:46,800

Dan 1: Because I think you

maximise your absorbency.

00:38:47,229 --> 00:38:49,629

Tilly: People do like, you know the

chart and you must kid against the wall.

00:38:50,172 --> 00:38:50,886

A little chart for like

00:38:50,914 --> 00:38:53,391

Dan 1: that can be a new

segment in our, in our podcast.

00:38:53,419 --> 00:38:54,105

Heaviest Nappy.

00:38:54,105 --> 00:38:55,841

They've got, like, top gear.

00:38:55,841 --> 00:38:56,188

And

00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,514

Tilly: They like top gear and then

they have like their thing of like,

00:38:58,972 --> 00:39:00,457

who's driven the track fastest.

00:39:00,572 --> 00:39:05,648

Dan 1: weaning, we can have smellier

snappy in terms of like, what food

00:39:05,743 --> 00:39:06,924

Tilly: how do we measure that though?

00:39:07,438 --> 00:39:08,524

How do we measure a smelly nap?

00:39:08,759 --> 00:39:09,799

Dan 1: because it is fast.

00:39:09,799 --> 00:39:10,059

Yeah.

00:39:10,229 --> 00:39:10,714

Tilly: How interested.

00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:12,661

Dan 1: got any particular

cat chats for me?

00:39:12,661 --> 00:39:13,441

No, I'm not

00:39:13,686 --> 00:39:15,762

Tilly: Oh, she also managed to shit

herself when she sent anagrams.

00:39:16,543 --> 00:39:18,619

We hadn't given mum a spare

nap of their outfit, had we?

00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,114

So she'd sort of sit and start

shitting her clothes for a little bit.

00:39:21,114 --> 00:39:21,857

She didn't care.

00:39:22,229 --> 00:39:23,762

But, you know, not ideal.

00:39:25,010 --> 00:39:26,347

. We'll sign off for the week.

00:39:26,347 --> 00:39:26,793

Baby's distressed.

00:39:26,793 --> 00:39:27,685

Have a lovely week.

00:39:27,685 --> 00:39:28,800

Catch you at week 21.

00:39:28,815 --> 00:39:29,405

Dan 1: the week.

00:39:29,405 --> 00:39:29,995

Baby's distressed.

00:39:29,995 --> 00:39:31,174

Have a lovely week.

00:39:31,174 --> 00:39:32,506

Catch you at week 21.

00:39:33,820 --> 00:39:36,506

Oh, and, well, baby's going

swimming this afternoon, so we'll

00:39:36,506 --> 00:39:37,248

be able to update you on that.

00:39:37,487 --> 00:39:39,944

Often we say we're going to update

you on things, and those things don't

00:39:39,944 --> 00:39:41,201

happen, and so they don't feature in the

00:39:41,427 --> 00:39:43,114

Tilly: that happen, and so there's

00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:43,384

Dan 1: be swimming.

00:39:43,384 --> 00:39:44,944

No, so, we're going to try swimming.

00:39:45,029 --> 00:39:46,553

We may not talk about it next week.

00:39:46,815 --> 00:39:49,567

Or we may manage it and we still

may not talk about it next week.

00:39:49,864 --> 00:39:50,539

Tilly: Who knows?

00:39:50,539 --> 00:39:51,214

Let's see

00:39:51,339 --> 00:39:51,501

Dan 1: knows?

00:39:51,663 --> 00:39:52,758

Let's see what happens next week.

00:39:52,891 --> 00:39:53,406

Stay tuned.

00:39:54,025 --> 00:39:54,307

Bye!
