Welcome to week 11.

2

You can expect this week all things

New Year's resolutions, or lack of for

3

us, and New Year with a baby, so in

bed by nine o'clock we're thinking.

4

And everything from our Christmas to now,

we're thinking pantomime, family fun, all

5

the eating, and vegetating on the sofa.

6

Dan 1: So I think we're a go.

7

Tilly: Okay, welcome to week

8

11.

9

Dan 1: Yeah, I think it's week eleven.

10

Tilly: Yeah.

11

and New Year's Eve.

12

Bubba's actually got her

13

Dan 1: So while it is episode 10,

we're on week 11 because we recorded

14

one at Christmas as the bonus episode.

15

Tilly: true, very Ow!

16

Sorry.

17

that, we're in as

18

Dan 1: So we're in that, we're in

that Christmas perennium as some

19

people call it or crimbo limbo.

20

Well, yes, between the arsehole so

21

Tilly: not heard that one.

22

Dan 1: yeah, Christmas

perennium, crimbo limbo.

23

What's the other one people call it?

24

There's another one.

25

Let's

26

Tilly: one.

27

So, Dead Zone?

28

Yeah, it's kind of

29

Dan 1: purgatory thing.

30

Tilly: What's all the time of year?

31

You don't tend to do very much, do you?

32

Yeah,

33

get

34

Dan 1: ready to go say that

you're gonna do loads of things.

35

You do nothing to try and build

up the willpower to do loads of

36

things, then inevitably people

end up quitting by February.

37

So,

38

Tilly: all the

39

Dan 1: time this actually comes out,

most A lot of people will have probably

40

failed the new year's resolutions.

41

Tilly: Yeah, are you

setting any this year?

42

We don't tend to.

43

Have you got any for this year?

44

I don't

45

Dan 1: don't, we've had this discussion.

46

I don't really like them because

I feel that if it's something that

47

Tilly: care enough about,

48

Dan 1: you shouldn't need to wait

until the beginning of the year to do.

49

Tilly: if we

50

Dan 1: you don't care, and

51

Tilly: therefore, if

52

Dan 1: it's something that you

said at the beginning of the year,

53

you don't care enough therefore

to actually see it through.

54

Saying that, I

55

do need to make some lifestyle

changes as we've discussed in terms

56

of before setting out those sort of

57

Tilly: in an area service and

58

Dan 1: an earlier episode we

discussed those things that we make

59

sure we do kind of every morning

Watch out with the clunking.

60

Tilly: like?

61

Kind of

62

those

63

Dan 1: things that we try and

make sure we do every morning

64

Tilly: Right.

65

So mine being

66

Dan 1: being Meditation run and

hopefully a little bit of journaling.

67

Oh, I also need to do my

cold practice, obviously.

68

Love some of that

69

Tilly: Huh?

70

Not

71

just running, work out

72

Dan 1: as well But yeah, how about you?

73

You got any?

74

Tilly: I'm sort of the same

vein as you really, I think.

75

You're going to do something, just do it.

76

Don't wait until New Year.

77

I

78

guess like, I've started doing my

exercise, you know, postpartum.

79

But I am starting with a new trainer.

80

at the beginning of the year.

81

So that's sort of like

82

my accident has happened.

83

to fall into the start of

84

the new year.

85

Dan 1: Really, I

86

Tilly: guess

87

well I guess what I'd

88

like to do more of in 2024.

89

is, I would just like to see more photos.

90

And when do I get to see photos?

91

Dan 1: No, and I think that's a lot

better to just kind of say things

92

that you'd like to do more of.

93

Tilly: which is what I think.

94

So I think, I'd like to see

more photos because I'd like to

95

have all those memories of Zoe.

96

Especially for you with your awful memory.

97

Dan 1: so I think we've come to

the conclusion that we're giving

98

up on this idea of trying to

hide her identity as Moonbeam.

99

Tilly: Yeah,

100

so the

101

Dan 1: her name's Zola, shortened to Zo.

102

Tilly: it's for you to name her.

103

Well, I

104

Dan 1: I manage.

105

But you

106

Tilly: I get the picture.

107

I

108

Dan 1: mean,

109

Tilly: half the

110

Dan 1: the time I do just

refer to her as them.

111

So, that's quite helpful.

112

Tilly: So how's your limbo week been?

113

Dan 1: Well first let's talk

about what we're eating.

114

Tilly: Oh, okay.

115

Dan 1: So what have we got for food today?

116

Tilly: for food today?

117

Leftovers.

118

what Everyone eats.

119

between Christmas and New Year.

120

Although this isn't a festive leftovers.

121

We've got some leftover

Stilton Elite macaroni,

122

123

a sort of like,

124

125

126

airy sauce and cheese and stuff.

127

128

129

163

You definitely enjoy this.

165

Tilly: I'm also going to make

177

Speculoos, So basically

178

So I'm going to

179

do us a little sort of

trifle y thing with that.

180

Sorry

181

182

That was getting busy.

183

So that's, what I'll be able to

185

Yeah,

186

Over the years.

Bye.

202

Bye.

203

Bye.

204

Bye.

205

Bye.

206

So yeah, delicious.

207

Probably a very low alcohol evening.

208

Maybe we'll have a bottle of bubbles.

209

Yeah, I think

210

that

211

Dan 1: I think

212

Tilly: I think

213

Dan 1: me on to, to my low, I guess.

214

I think this week my low

is just feeling a bit.

215

Tilly: ill,

216

And also I

217

Dan 1: I think she's not

been feeling that great,

218

Tilly: We've all been a bit ill, Yeah.

219

I've been a bit snotty.

220

I've been

221

Dan 1: very snotty.

222

Tilly: then you've been, yeah,

pretty phlegmy and snotty, and

223

she's just been a bit fussy.

224

Yeah, I

225

give her a little soap.

226

What was it?

227

I'm dairy Tom.

228

Oh!

229

Dan 1: or whatever.

230

Tilly: Dairy and

231

Dan 1: and tolerant or something.

232

Basically,

233

Tilly: a comedian gig, like

234

Dan 1: up with this thing where

they're basically somewhat dairy

235

Tilly: they

236

Dan 1: but they live with

it because they enjoy dairy.

237

That's basically what I am.

238

Tilly: Yeah.

239

And it

240

Dan 1: it just makes me really phlegmy.

241

Tilly: And so the combination of

242

Dan 1: of all

243

Tilly: Christmas dairy

combined with actually

244

Dan 1: having some sort of

245

Tilly: me very It's been

246

delightful for you to come

you've had a couple of gouts.

247

Yeah.

248

More in a way.

249

Years.

250

Yeah.

251

Dan 1: And so you've also been a bit

snotty, and then she's been very fussy.

252

So she's not been sleeping,

and she's been weeing so

253

Tilly: weird.

254

She's been eating loads, though.

255

She's been so hungry this week.

256

Like her, her, some of her appetite has

like massively increased, hasn't it?

257

Yeah.

258

What's get a couple of

hours between most feeds.

259

Yeah.

260

We even do a day,

261

if we look at that.

262

But now She's having a lot more, sort

of, cluster feeding and a lot more,

263

just a lot more feeds in general.

264

Dan 1: Well, the other factor is that

because she's more fussy, it ends up

265

being something that we use to calm her

down a lot more because it basically

266

ends up being she wheezes in her nappy.

267

Tilly: more, She gets pretty elevated.

268

Well,

269

Dan 1: you go to change her,

she gets pretty irate about it.

270

Tilly: you feed her

When you finish feeding

271

Dan 1: her and she wheezes in her

272

nappy

273

Tilly: just

274

Dan 1: kind of have this cycle until she

gets really tired and falls asleep either

275

Tilly: know.

276

on the

277

Dan 1: or with wee in the nappy, one

278

Tilly: the bottom.

279

Dan 1: well, or on the boob, mainly on the

280

Tilly: I'll say this

for my funny in a bit.

281

I've got a good story for you to

tell me while you're upstairs.

282

Also

283

put some scotch on.

284

Ooh.

285

It's nice.

286

I've quite enjoyed it's

weird week, isn't it.

287

You always feel like you're not really

it's nice spending time together.

288

Just in case it's

289

It's always a bit of a pity, you know,

you sort of do, a bit, but not very much.

290

but It's just sort of quite a

slow, spending time together.

291

Why is that?

292

You

293

say

294

Dan 1: I think it's a bit

different for us because

295

you say we sort of do

stuff, but not very much.

296

We've written out like a load of things

that we want to try and catch up on,

297

Tilly: used to

298

Dan 1: we're not doing very much of that.

299

Most people kind of have quite a, well,

I assume this is what I used to do

300

Tilly: tend to plan anything, like, apart

301

from, and

302

Dan 1: agenda of just kind of

watching stuff, catching up with

303

people and that sort of stuff.

304

Tilly: 2024 in this period.

305

Dan 1: Which we should probably do.

306

Tilly: I'd like us to do that,

but maybe we'll just do that.

307

24.

308

Dan 1: Yeah, we're off for the first week.

309

Well, I'm off for the first week, and

310

Tilly: you're off.

311

So, indefinitely.

312

Not true.

313

Indefinitely.

314

But yeah,

315

I'm looking forward to sort of, new year.

316

it's always nice to

317

Dan 1: bit weird to

318

Tilly: start something new.

319

But yes, we had to see

Willy Wonka, didn't we,

320

yesterday?

321

She was good.

322

She had her little ear defenders on,

which she doesn't really like wearing.

323

But she was a lights and colours.

324

I

325

Dan 1: want me to take them while you eat?

326

I

327

don't

328

Tilly: short.

329

Do you want me to

330

Dan 1: Well we did, we did my load, just

331

Tilly: Oh yeah,

332

I guess

333

low.

334

Dan 1: load

335

I guess it's a load that's

336

Tilly: I guess it's low slash

Frustration, Frustration, I don't know.

337

I find, when we're doing things in

public, and she suddenly starts getting

338

fussy, like, when we're in a cinema

essay and she starts crying a little.

339

bit, you

340

suddenly almost like, when you

start panicking about how you

341

can most quickly shut her up.

342

You don't want to

inconvenience other people.

343

It

344

was actually realistic.

345

She's a baby.

346

People know she's going to cry.

347

But

348

Dan 1: generally agree but I don't

feel it's the same in the cinema.

349

People are born with an experience

for something immersive.

350

If I'm in a restaurant, I

find it's very different

351

Tilly: Well, I don't know if it's

in a restaurant, but it seems

352

like, yeah, in a cinema or like

when I had her at the Panto.

353

Dan 1: Yeah, I struggle.

354

Tilly: sort of thing.

355

I'm like, oh, come on, quickly,

like, quiet, quiet down.

356

It sort of, like, stresses

her out very quickly.

357

Yeah.

358

But I mean, she's pretty

good most of the time.

359

I mean, she's a baby in the patient sheet.

360

I just did a massive shit ditch in this

one while I need to go change it though.

361

Well, that's fine.

362

Dan 1: for me.

363

Tilly: So yeah.

364

I'm working on my nose.

365

Sort of like

366

figuring

367

out like,

368

How fast

369

I can get a boob out.

370

Sort of in my mouth.

371

Dan 1: Yeah.

372

Tilly: Yeah.

373

I guess

374

Dan 1: quite different for you.

375

For me, it's

376

Tilly: it's a ground

377

Dan 1: a bottle and shove it in or like

try and take her out so I can go feed

378

her, not feed her, sorry, change her.

379

Tilly: Whereas, I guess for you

380

Dan 1: it's kind of a bit of a case of

381

Tilly: trying to

382

work out

383

Dan 1: She can,

384

Tilly: how do

385

you get your boob out.

386

So

387

yeah.

388

you throw a lot of fibroids

389

Dan 1: worried about

390

Tilly: it over, so it's

391

Dan 1: so it's probably a lot easier.

392

Back in the time when you were.

393

Tilly: I was at the primatone, I kept

having to get my boob out to be there.

394

My mum kept trying to cover it up.

395

I was just

396

really, like,

397

Dan 1: it

398

Tilly: I was just like, wrapping it out.

399

She was trying to cover it up all night.

400

Aw,

401

crap

402

So yeah, that'll be a high then.

403

Dan 1: got it written down to

make sure I don't forget them.

404

So, hi I think she's been a lot

more engaging recently in smiles.

405

Tilly: Well,

406

Dan 1: before she was ill.

407

Tilly: We

408

had a lot more of her smiling and recently

409

Dan 1: and mimicking.

410

Recently I think she's

been a bit slower to

411

Tilly: she's been

412

Dan 1: a bit more fussy.

413

But yeah, she's done a lot more, a

lot more smiling, stretching out.

414

And stuff like that, she's very

bright eyed as it were, I've

415

definitely enjoyed kind of,

416

Tilly: and it sounds a bit

417

Dan 1: bit silly because I, I don't know,

418

Tilly: don't know.

419

So I

420

Dan 1: I guess it goes

back to the thing that,

421

Tilly: I don't know if

you've seen this before, the

422

Dan 1: since we listened to it, I

think before the Christmas one, we

423

didn't discuss it in the Christmas one,

424

Tilly: there's this kind of old

425

Dan 1: adage that

426

Tilly: mum becomes a parent when she

427

Dan 1: when she finds out she's pregnant.

428

And the dad becomes a parent when

429

Tilly: baby's born.

430

Dan 1: born.

431

Tilly: And it's kind of very

432

Dan 1: true in terms of the

433

Tilly: sort of parenting that

434

we're going through with oxytocin

435

Dan 1: stuff like

436

Tilly: you know,

437

the emotional change not certain or

438

sudden for women, but

439

Dan 1: not so it's not

selling for women is

440

Tilly: mentally you

441

have

442

a bit of prep,

443

you know, your body's already changing.

444

Your hormones are

445

ready to help you with that

446

Dan 1: with

447

Tilly: transition,

448

whereas for

449

men it's

450

it

451

transpires.

452

Dan 1: So they've really got to invest

453

Tilly: terms of building that oxytocin

454

And that's

455

Dan 1: and that's definitely quite,

I found, I personally found that

456

Tilly: in

457

Dan 1: in the first sort

of six weeks, definitely.

458

Tilly: And

459

Dan 1: I found it a bit

easier recently because it's,

460

Tilly: know, stuff like being

involved uh, trying to find a

461

friend, and she's smiling, and just

462

Dan 1: those

463

Tilly: things to build those, you

know, those moments where I was

464

Dan 1: oxytocin, that ponder,

admittedly whilst being ill it's

465

been a bit harder because she's, you

466

Tilly: know, she's just been

467

Dan 1: a lot more fussy

468

Tilly: fussy and

469

Dan 1: and I'm the sort

of person who wants

470

Tilly: time to

471

do things.

472

Dan 1: to do stuff like

podcast stuff or whatever.

473

And I've just found that she just won't.

474

Tilly: Oh, I'm getting

475

Dan 1: that time between

sort of feed and change.

476

And so I'm finding that quite difficult

because I'm getting a bit as it were,

477

because I'm wanting to do podcast stuff.

478

And she's something

479

Tilly: I mean, another change.

480

Dan 1: And honestly, I think

she was on 20, more than 20

481

changes a day at certain points,

482

because there were times when

she would literally piss every

483

Tilly: minutes.

484

Dan 1: 30 minutes.

485

Tilly: Yeah.

486

Dan 1: So yeah, I think.

487

I think I've been

488

Tilly: better at, at,

489

trying to

490

engage with her.

491

and since there was lots

492

Dan 1: and so there was

493

Tilly: moments, before

494

we

495

Dan 1: all came down

with some weird illness.

496

How about

497

you?

498

What's your high?

499

I

500

Tilly: I think just

having it around family.

501

Christmas has been really nice.

502

Yeah.

503

You know, to share That with her.

504

and seeing how, like, happy she

makes our family being around.

505

Her being so comfortable

around them as well.

506

Yeah.

507

Who are really happy and proud that

we've sort of socialised her well.

508

not like she's,

509

unattached, that

510

she doesn't care who she's with,

but she still seeks comfort from us.

511

Yeah.

512

Um, but

513

Dan 1: I think that would

be a fair problem to have.

514

Live podcast, podcast exclusive.

515

Tilly: one,

516

Dan 1: watch it on the video

now, because I didn't see it,

517

because I'm on the wrong angle.

518

Tilly: you know, we can give it to mum

as she's really comfortable with my

519

mum or my, oh, a sister or whatever.

520

that's really nice.

521

She's

522

still kind of connected to where we are,

523

which is

524

good.

525

Dan 1: But then, she's very comfortable

kind of being with other people.

526

Tilly: think that's been

what's your Yesterday

527

Dan 1: my funny, okay, so yesterday

528

Tilly: we were discussing, so we,

529

were watching, we've

530

been an odd show but we've been binge

531

Dan 1: but we've been binge

watching Louisie Farru

532

Tilly: we

533

were watching the

534

Capernaum,

535

crying, and

536

Dan 1: watching the

537

Tilly: moment in

538

Louis

539

Dan 1: episode, and there was a

moment in Louis Farru whereby,

540

Tilly: Catherine Ryan

541

her daughter,

542

a 13 year old

543

daughter, which is the simplest of

544

Dan 1: about 13 I think,

545

Tilly: are

546

wearing the same outfit.

547

Dan 1: outfit.

548

Tilly: You're

549

a happy girl

550

today.

551

And I found, and I I really

552

Dan 1: like the

553

Tilly: of

554

Dan 1: of

555

Tilly: wearing the

556

same clothes as your

child for two reasons.

557

Firstly,

558

it promotes this idea

of dressing your child

559

Dan 1: to be

560

Tilly: a, an accessory of yours.

561

secondly, it's for them from

562

Dan 1: their own

563

Tilly: their own identity

564

Dan 1: like clothing or whatever.

565

She's trying to now.

566

She's trying to

567

Tilly: all right, my brother.

568

It's all right, you've been good,

569

you won't be on the podcast.

570

Dan 1: And

571

Tilly: and so,

572

Dan 1: That's my

573

Tilly: and

574

so

575

Dan 1: I was saying

something along those lines.

576

You, you were saying, well,

577

Tilly: it's a child and they want.

578

to

579

Dan 1: You know, wear the same

580

Tilly: Yeah, I'm a little

bit older, I think.

581

yeah, then that's fine.

582

Dan 1: And, and I said, no,

I'm not going to allow it.

583

I want them

584

Tilly: to be original and unique.

585

Dan 1: unique.

586

No, no.

587

So turned to her and she just

spat up a load of vomiting milk

588

Tilly: And I

589

Dan 1: moment.

590

Tilly: like, okay, you

591

may disagree with that, I'm sure it's a

dress exactly like her daddy, but it was

592

the perfect timing

593

might want to be unique.

594

to Turn around and then bleh.

595

Yeah,

596

Dan 1: me,

597

Tilly: we, we, we don't

want her to be a doll.

598

We barely ever put her

in a matching outfit.

599

She's not looking too bad today.

600

She didn't break in today, actually.

601

Yeah, people gave us a lot of girly stuff.

602

which I

603

didn't expect.

604

No, I knew.

605

so I didn't want us to find out

gender, because I knew we'd get it.

606

Yeah, but I

607

Dan 1: I thought, given that,

you know, she was, she would

608

Tilly: been a rhyme by

609

Dan 1: the time people

started sending gifts.

610

Tilly: thought

611

that those

612

who bought their gifts

before would get new

613

Dan 1: her gender

614

Tilly: it to us.

615

Yeah, a lot more wasted.

616

Yeah,

617

which I thought was

618

strange.

619

I didn't

620

think that, yeah, in 2023, given how

621

kind

622

of progressive

623

a lot of our

624

family is.

625

Dan 1: is.

626

Tilly: and,

627

and the, we places that we,

628

less aggressive when it comes to gender.

629

yeah.

630

Like I'm

631

Dan 1: not, you know, I'm

not stupidly povert, I'm not

632

trying to raise some sort of

633

Tilly: don't mind.

634

Dan 1: absolutely gender fluid.

635

I'm just trying to keep her completely

open to be exactly who she wants to be.

636

Tilly: that

637

Dan 1: that be tomboy,

girl, boy, you know,

638

Tilly: whatever, whatever

639

Dan 1: she decides is her path.

640

Tilly: Support that.

641

little monkey feet.

642

Yeah.

643

I have big monkey feet.

644

Dan 1: So what

645

Tilly: your funny then?

646

My funny is funny and scatting one.

647

Oh, okay.

648

We

649

Dan 1: We can thank

Franck to scale after this

650

Tilly: so it's actually while

you were up here getting stuff

651

ready, mum gave me a call.

652

So I went to see granny.

653

We were just chatting away.

654

And suddenly Zoe's just such a

big shit that it woke Fatty up,

655

like, bounding over and sort of looking,

like, and then she does another one,

656

he's like, oh, and he was just so like on

alert about your massive loud pose that

657

you were doing, it just kept on coming.

658

Yeah, it was a proper big shit.

659

Yeah.

660

Yeah.

661

You were very happy with yourself.

662

I can

663

imagine.

664

Because you were squirming away

665

before.

666

Not unhappy, but just literally.

667

Dan 1: I hope

668

Tilly: So that was pretty good.

689

Tilly: sketch hour.

690

692

Dan 1: how long I'm going

693

694

Tilly: know.

695

So, yesterday, the

696

Skidamundi

697

Dan 1: cinema, baby

698

Tilly: girl, who they're what?

699

Dan 1: Skiddly Wonka.

700

Tilly: How far

701

was it?

702

10 minutes It wasn't

703

that far at all.

704

Yeah, it was

705

Dan 1: maximum 20 minutes in.

706

Tilly: lasted the adverts.

707

Yeah, so she hadn't pooped

708

after

709

Dan 1: nearly two.

710

Yeah, because she hadn't pooed

711

Tilly: That night.

712

She often doesn't poop

713

Dan 1: does a poo either

714

Tilly: in the night or

715

Dan 1: or in the pooed that

716

Tilly: poop at night.

717

And

718

Dan 1: And I think the earliest

she'd pooed was that morning, the

719

morning before, so it must have been

720

Tilly: about a day and a half.

721

Dan 1: So we knew a big one was

722

Tilly: and then I

723

was

724

Dan 1: was just sat

there in the cinema, and

725

Tilly: I was hoping,

726

Dan 1: her and feeding her milk.

727

Tilly: as

728

impossible, she was

729

Dan 1: that she was hungry, it

was the reason why she was crying.

730

Tilly: While I

731

Dan 1: I was holding her bottle,

I just felt this huge rip and

732

Tilly: the sculpture just lying in,

733

Dan 1: in in the hand.

734

Tilly: As

735

Dan 1: the cinema was going on, and I

was like, Oh fuck, she's about to just,

736

Tilly: have

737

Dan 1: bawl her eyes out as soon as

738

Tilly: done.

739

And so I started

740

trying to move, and then

741

she started crying while I was

742

Dan 1: to carry her.

743

Got out, and she had absolutely filled her

744

Tilly: her napkins, and

745

through to

746

Dan 1: the men's toilets,

and they're on the changing

747

Tilly: tables.

748

Dan 1: And it's all like, she's

managed to poo so much it's

749

come out the front of the nappy.

750

Tilly: Which is a rarity.

751

and lo And,

752

Dan 1: lo and behold, We

didn't have wet wipes,

753

which was

754

Tilly: to make sure that we do.

755

After they've gone way down.

756

Yep.

757

I need to remember to

grab the spare wet wipes.

758

Dan 1: And so I to use these little

759

those

760

Tilly: little cotton bud things.

761

They're not cotton buds.

762

No, that's going out.

763

It's cotton wool.

764

Dan 1: Those discs, cotton discs.

765

My shots came with ear buds.

766

That would take That would

767

take

768

a very long time.

769

Tilly: very long time.

770

and So

771

that was

772

That

773

was quite a lot of cotton

774

Dan 1: of cotton disks, and

it was a very wet poo, so it

775

ended up leaking up over the

776

Tilly: that and

777

Dan 1: and trying to clean the, not the

changing mat, but the changing table,

778

Tilly: and trying to clean the

779

Dan 1: changing table with the,

780

Tilly: with the wipes, It was,

781

Dan 1: was a lot,

782

Tilly: it was a lot, but

783

it

784

was

785

funny, Funny in the end.

786

Dan 1: in the end.

787

Tilly: Yeah.

788

So

789

lots of just

790

lots of poos.

791

She's

792

had some pretty,

793

big poos this week actually.

794

She's had quite a lot of big poos,

795

So do you like fondling her

nappy like you fondle poo?

796

I don't dog poo.

797

You do fondle it.

798

In the back, but

799

you do fondle it.

800

Yeah, so when he

801

poos,

802

our dog,

803

eats 60 kilos,

804

Dan 1: kilos, doesn't just drop

805

Tilly: like

806

little mouse droppings.

807

proper big.

808

Roundup

809

Man poo.

810

Well, yeah, like,

811

think about,

812

you know, it's

813

Dan 1: bigger than a tennis

814

Tilly: his head.

815

It's for Roundup Man shirts.

816

Yeah, it's proper, it's proper

817

poo.

818

and,

819

it's like a morning poo.

820

Oh yeah,

821

when you're doing your first big one

822

day.

823

yeah,

824

You

825

Dan 1: don't you?

826

Tilly: you?

827

Morning poo.

828

And so,

829

I'll

830

often then, after that,

I will just hold it

831

Dan 1: it in my hand, not

like by the end, but like,

832

let it just sit in my hand as it were,

because it's quite nice and warm,

833

Tilly: sometimes I do scrunch

834

Dan 1: it into a ball,

835

Tilly: just leave it in my hands.

836

Yeah, Will's face when you're doing that.

837

Will came for a walk.

838

Will's a

839

dunker.

840

Dunker.

841

But I

842

Dan 1: mean, we've got

pretty strong bags, so I'm

843

Tilly: that tall.

844

And it

845

warms

846

my hands a lot.

847

Do you want me to do it?

848

No, because it doesn't

849

Dan 1: the nappies are so thick, and

850

Tilly: not outside in the

851

Dan 1: cold when I change her.

852

We tend to

853

Tilly: sometimes, to be fair.

854

Our house

855

Dan 1: Our house can be, but

in those instances, I'm usually

856

Tilly: up.

857

Dan 1: house is generally

warmer than the outdoors.

858

Tilly: warmer

859

recently.

860

Yeah.

861

I think the insulation's helped.

862

Yeah,

863

Dan 1: Zoe?

864

Tilly: yeah.

865

Dan 1: no.

866

Well a very

867

Tilly: Getting towards touchy.

868

Getting towards, oh yeah?

869

no.

870

Yep,

871

so, we've got a few there.

872

old

873

online.

874

Dan 1: Oh

875

Tilly: here's a good one.

876

Dan 1: one.

877

Got two

878

Tilly: actually,

879

Dan 1: do do a Christmasy

one even though this

880

Tilly: So, first

881

Christmas

882

Dan 1: we were six and a half years old.

883

old, a tiny little Santa for

884

little the tree.

885

the

886

Tilly: tree.

887

Dan 1: went to the mall to have

him get, well, well, in the

888

Tilly: Shopping

889

Dan 1: centre.

890

the shopping to go take a photo of Santa.

891

was, sat Santa's

892

There she was, sat on Santa's lap,

893

Tilly: camera

894

Dan 1: the camera clicked, he

gifted us with a poo explosion right

895

exploding right on Santa's lap.

896

erupted, the

897

the photo was hilariously,

898

Tilly: hilariously

899

Dan 1: A quick cleanup followed.

900

Even

901

Tilly: Santa was

902

Dan 1: safe from a diaper disaster.

903

Get him a little poo

904

Tilly: So yeah, at least we

didn't do something like that.

905

Next year, if she's chubby

enough, I'm 100 percent dressing

906

her up as Christmas pudding.

907

Yeah, and then

908

you get

909

Dan 1: then you're gonna take a

910

Tilly: innit?

911

When they're older and they want

to do it, I think it's alright.

912

Dan 1: Yeah, if they

913

Tilly: to.

914

do it.

915

I don't think they need to

force her into doing it.

916

She's like, she's not going to do it.

917

At like, what, 14 months?

918

Dan 1: Yeah.

919

Tilly: Yeah, that's right.

920

You'll be 14 months.

921

Chubby, chubby.

chubby,

923

chubby, you going to enjoy

getting chubby, aren't you?

924

I'm going to

925

try

926

Dan 1: and quickly re read that so

I don't make so many fuck ups in it.

927

That's

928

Tilly: Yeah, I think that's.

929

Dan 1: I won't

930

Tilly: do

931

Dan 1: Okay,

932

Tilly: it.

933

Dan 1: Okay, on the Where is it?

934

Where

here we go.

936

It

937

was

938

that

939

picture day and we wanted

a natural naked shot.

940

Our three month old son,

941

Just as the photographer said

smile, he unleashed a pee fountain,

942

Tilly: under the

943

Dan 1: camera.

944

and the camera.

945

The

946

The photographer stunned lady with picture

947

itself.

948

We all couldn't giggling.

949

The

950

lesson

951

Tilly: she learned was

952

Dan 1: always have a diaper on

953

on during

954

Tilly: Be less dramatic.

955

It'd be like a little Yeah, popping

up a bit when it's full, so we'd get a

956

little spout of milk out of my nipple.

957

Yeah, you've done

958

that a few yeah.

959

I mean, it's a really thin, like, shot

960

of milk.

961

Because the holes are quite small,

it's like a really thin, like

962

sprayed

963

Dan 1: her in the

964

Tilly: on the face, Yeah.

965

Milk facials you've had a

few She obviously gets a

966

lot of milk from her hair.

967

you get too excited for a girl,

she's like, and it all sorts

968

of like, slides down her mouth.

969

You've become a lot more drooly this week.

970

Yeah,

971

I

972

Dan 1: think her teeth

973

Tilly: chewing her hand a bit.

974

And

975

her clothes.

976

Dan 1: Like, if she has a

muslin, she'll put it in her

977

Tilly: teeth, baby.

978

Yeah, it is.

979

I have a look at your

980

998

during the night I have been

like, I could just dump her in

999

the room in the cot sometimes.

00:26:20,212 --> 00:26:21,038

Dan 1: that before.

00:26:21,038 --> 00:26:22,661

No, no, it's my

00:26:23,161 --> 00:26:27,101

Tilly: I said I'll put my head on

my bed it's no mattress, so she'll

00:26:27,101 --> 00:26:27,941

be laying on bare wooden slats.

00:26:30,691 --> 00:26:32,161

I wouldn't do that to you.

00:26:32,661 --> 00:26:35,171

Dan 1: I'm a caring parent, but I've got

00:26:35,176 --> 00:26:38,162

Tilly: look straight ahead,

because we do not know it,

00:26:38,181 --> 00:26:40,036

Dan 1: So much so that you've

just stopped giving her to me

00:26:40,155 --> 00:26:47,666

Tilly: to get past it

and look straight ahead.

00:26:48,866 --> 00:26:51,436

Dan 1: Yeah, so I'm feeling

a bit flat because I didn't

00:26:51,436 --> 00:26:52,736

get much sleep last night.

00:26:53,236 --> 00:26:55,594

You were a bit, you were

being a bit precious last

00:26:55,646 --> 00:26:56,346

Tilly: well, Yay!

00:26:56,346 --> 00:26:56,541

you?

00:26:56,541 --> 00:26:58,686

said you'd be awake at one

in the morning, didn't you?

00:26:58,966 --> 00:26:59,716

You're that wide awake

00:26:59,988 --> 00:27:01,057

have A late edition funny.

00:27:01,337 --> 00:27:02,067

Oh, okay.

00:27:02,347 --> 00:27:07,487

Not quite about her, but about Christmas

So we'd, on Christmas Day, there 16

00:27:07,487 --> 00:27:09,087

of us, I think in total, wasn't there.

00:27:09,087 --> 00:27:09,567

So, like,

00:27:10,387 --> 00:27:12,437

three of my sisters were

there, and they had their kids

00:27:13,212 --> 00:27:17,592

so that was, two nieces and a

nephew, so a five year old, a

00:27:17,592 --> 00:27:18,822

three year old and a two year old.

00:27:19,842 --> 00:27:21,172

We give them all their

sort of their main present.

00:27:21,182 --> 00:27:23,232

Then we also got like a little

cabaret selection box, you

00:27:23,232 --> 00:27:24,282

know the classic ones you get.

00:27:24,982 --> 00:27:26,912

So they'll open up a selection

box, there's Maisie, who's

00:27:26,912 --> 00:27:28,182

the eldest, who's five,

00:27:28,512 --> 00:27:30,222

and obviously had a few of these already.

00:27:30,642 --> 00:27:31,392

They opened it up.

00:27:31,392 --> 00:27:35,178

so I just threw it on the table

And was like, so disgusting.

00:27:35,178 --> 00:27:37,244

She's like, I've already

got loads of these.

00:27:37,244 --> 00:27:38,794

And I was like, all right.

00:27:38,794 --> 00:27:42,122

I mean, since when has a kid

not wanted more chocolate?

00:27:42,622 --> 00:27:43,372

But it was a very funny

00:27:43,372 --> 00:27:45,916

reaction, I did enjoy

it, she's very sassy.

00:27:45,916 --> 00:27:49,642

Whereas Frankie's reaction,

he's our nephew, he's three, he

00:27:49,642 --> 00:27:51,632

opened it up and was like Yes!

00:27:51,632 --> 00:27:53,768

I've already got loads of chocolate!

00:27:53,768 --> 00:27:58,430

I that is what I thought more the better.

00:27:58,430 --> 00:27:58,642

It's

00:27:58,882 --> 00:27:59,392

Dan 1: Exactly.

00:27:59,402 --> 00:28:02,162

But I guess not for Maisie if

she wants to smash Davo on tape

00:28:04,212 --> 00:28:05,082

00:28:05,132 --> 00:28:05,582

Dan 1: baby.

00:28:07,032 --> 00:28:09,223

Tilly: Oh, you did a little dance, yeah.

00:28:09,223 --> 00:28:11,842

Bubba's doing a little dance with you.

00:28:12,932 --> 00:28:13,652

party tonight.

00:28:14,552 --> 00:28:14,942

Fried food?

00:28:15,002 --> 00:28:15,372

Games?

00:28:16,152 --> 00:28:16,312

Really?

00:28:16,472 --> 00:28:17,532

Yes!

00:28:18,252 --> 00:28:18,462

We'll get

00:28:18,472 --> 00:28:18,732

some.

00:28:19,182 --> 00:28:20,558

fried flavoured chicken milk.

00:28:20,558 --> 00:28:20,825

Crikey,

00:28:20,862 --> 00:28:23,702

Dan 1: to try and play

Guess Who, aren't we?

00:28:23,770 --> 00:28:28,272

Tilly: might just be fried food in this

programme you found for us to watch.

00:28:29,322 --> 00:28:31,392

Dan 1: Yeah, because Guess

Who's going to piss me off.

00:28:32,298 --> 00:28:32,775

Tilly: who?

00:28:32,775 --> 00:28:35,751

It just baffles him, I don't understand.

00:28:35,751 --> 00:28:36,530

I was saying

00:28:36,530 --> 00:28:38,087

you're all mad, I just, can't

00:28:38,087 --> 00:28:38,347

I

00:28:38,372 --> 00:28:40,062

Dan 1: think people have

explained this game to

00:28:40,164 --> 00:28:42,382

Tilly: was just thinking, it's

amazing, like little kids play it.

00:28:43,122 --> 00:28:44,182

Dan 1: What do you do?

00:28:44,192 --> 00:28:45,672

Tilly: You ask questions.

00:28:45,772 --> 00:28:45,792

Yeah.

00:28:45,987 --> 00:28:49,305

Dan 1: Because I didn't quite link

it to the idea of 20 questions.

00:28:49,305 --> 00:28:49,787

Is

00:28:51,127 --> 00:28:51,735

It's

00:28:51,938 --> 00:28:52,262

Tilly: crying?

00:28:52,262 --> 00:28:52,586

No?

00:28:52,586 --> 00:28:54,206

Are you going to dance?

00:28:54,206 --> 00:28:55,502

Are you always crying?

00:28:55,502 --> 00:28:55,826

No?

00:28:55,826 --> 00:28:57,707

Are you going to dance some

00:28:57,810 --> 00:29:00,847

Dan 1: and going to shout.

00:29:01,689 --> 00:29:01,982

Tilly: then,

00:29:03,900 --> 00:29:04,507

Well.

00:29:05,602 --> 00:29:08,662

Tilly: I guess we will
