A listener production.
What's the rule when you're talking to someone and their breath stinks?
Should you say something?
Yeah. Like if they're close to you and they're going, hey, how are you? Are you good? Hope everything's going all right. You tell. You tell people. Do you have to know what's the rule?
I've never told anyone.
Me neither. I've told people I have. I'm not gonna lie. But if. Fine. If your breath stinks, I go. Listen, your breath put a mint in. But I try to. If if I've ever told you, you tell me. Yeah. If I've ever told you, you get upset. But of course I get upset. He gets upset, so I don't.
But you do. It's embarrassing.
Me. Yeah. It's embarrassing, I get embarrassed. Oh, yeah. Oh I'm hungry man. Oh, man. I got my stomach, man. Yeah, but. So sometimes I don't say anything. But I don't say anything to you. My breath doesn't stink. Oh, well, that's why I don't say nothing to you. Nah. Because you think you're the king of smell. My, my, my nose is a greyhound, though. I can smell.
You. No, you can't smell your own breath.
Apparently you can taste it. You can't smell your own breath.
You can't know if you got a bad breath. You can't actually physically smell even if you go.
But you know. But you know something? There was a period. Sorry, man. There was a period when your guts were stuffed that your breath was.
Yeah. My wife was telling me that upset because.
You had had you had a stomach issue. It was no good at one stage.
Yeah.
And we didn't we couldn't tell you because we'd just.
Well, yeah. But then last.
After I was, I'd be like, man, have some peanuts. I was, but everyone goes through it. No, but I was just with someone the other day and they were talking to me. And there's the bar, and I'm like, you can't tell them, but you. But if you do tell them you're helping. It's like when someone's got a piece of sh, you know, er lettuce. Lettuce or spinach in their teeth that you have to say it. There's nothing wrong in saying how embarrassing though. No it's not.
It is. It depends how well you know the person.
Yeah, but it's always. It's embarrassing for the person. That's. You gotta go. Sorry. Hey, man, you got a little bit of something, and of course, you know, the person's like, oh yeah, sorry.
And they're frantically they always get the wrong tooth or.
The wrong size. I always make a joke of it. Yeah, I'm saving it for later. You know what? Having something in your tooth compared to telling someone that their mouth stinks is completely different, man. Like it doesn't compare. You're telling someone. They say when you breathe, it stinks. That's what you're basically telling him. That is very hurtful. I saw a guy the other day who had a piece of lint on his eye right here.
You can see.
On his eyelid, and I was talking to him and I'm like, do I say something about the lint?
Well, you have to.
While we're in conversation, I'm going, look, sometimes you just get the lint. Do I go to this guy? But I didn't know him well enough to grab his eye and pull off the lint.
I just go, hey, just like this.
And then I didn't say nothing. And then I'm thinking to myself, I'm not going to say nothing. And he's going to look in the mirror in a couple of hours and he's going to lint and go, fuck! I've been speaking to everyone today with this lint on my eye. Yeah, you get stuff stuck in your beard. Sometimes I don't say anything. You should know. I always tell him. Sometimes I don't. Sometimes I leave it there for a bit for two hours and they go, man, you got some.
I always tell you, because I want you talking to people with this thing. That's because you're an asshole. But it's amongst us, asshole. It's amongst us, man. So I get a bit of joy somehow, you know?
You should say something.
Roll it.
Hello? Hello. Hello. Testing. One, two. Put on a jacket. When I was your age, I was my age.
The Sushi Mango podcast were like one big family.
That's why we say Join the Familia.
The most ethnic podcast going around. Well, not that bad. What are you talking about? You still take your washing to mum's? Well, don't. Don't say.
That. I put the car.
And just to be clear, it's not famiglia, it's familia. The G is silent. We're Italian.
A little bit of lemon on top.
Fake laugh. You bastard!
We've had a new development.
The stork came. Remember? The stork in the cartoons is to bring the, uh. The baby. Oh, the the bird, the bird, the bird with the thing. And had the had the the with the the blanket, the blanket and to drop it off.
Got visited by the stork.
Who got visited by the stork. The stork. Hey, Eva. My daughter's name. Eva. Eva. Eva. Antonia. Selena. Antonia is after mum. It's, uh. Eva. Antonia. Salvatore. She came into the world, uh, January 14th at 418.
And that's lovely. So the world has a new salon eatery in town.
New Salato. Uh, she's a very pretty girl. Yeah. She's cute. How's she going? Touchwood. How's it all going? Going good. Good. Everything's been really good. Everything that you guys said and I know can turn has not happened. Yeah, that's good. And it can turn. I don't understand this turn, but 100% everything that anyone said about, you know, how hard it's going to be in the right in the beginning, from the birth to the second night. The second night?
I never said that.
I never said that either.
I always think it's a 3 or 4 month mark where.
I just say, okay, well, maybe. No, no, I never said that. Like, at the very start, it's hard. Well, you know what happened when we say the first night she slept five hours and everyone was like the nurses were coming in and saying, oh, yeah, you know, this is that's normal because they're tired from the delivery. It's like the other. Then they go, just get ready for night to get ready. It's coming. Night two is a nightmare.
Night two. She slept six hours, and then they came in the room and they were like, oh, how'd you go? And were like, she slept six hours. She's like, what? What do you mean? This never happens. We're like, oh, okay. I don't know. Night three again. Five hours. She sleeps for five, six hours. But don't they have to eat every three hours at that stage? Yeah. No. Like she goes through the. Well, from what I know, she goes through these these, um, cluster feeding moments where it's every
half an hour. You take her off. Just said cluster feed.
Yeah. I haven't heard that term for ages.
So she comes off and then she's rested, and then half an hour later, she wants to feed, and then she rests, and then she feeds, and then she rests and she shits and she shits and she feeds and she shits. And then she cries and she feeds. And then she sleeps and she shits and she and she.
I don't have any problems with my girl. My girl. She slept great. My boys didn't. I find girls are easier for me, but. So hopefully you got a good one.
Man, I would so far so good. But like I said, I don't want to be too cocky because I understand it can change and everyone wants it to change. And everyone's. Everyone's waiting for me to go. Oh, man, I didn't have any sleep last night. I can't believe she cried. I was waiting for it. But that's going to happen regardless. Like that. Trust me. That's just like the vomiting. And you never. They'll come once they come and they're sick in your bed and they vomit all over your bed teething.
No one gets.
The teething, the.
Teething always.
And you got to change the fucking. That was the worst when they somehow used to somehow come in your bed, feels sick, vomit. And then you got to change the whole bedding at fucking three in the morning.
That was always my job. I never changed nappies, but I was on vomit duty.
Ah.
I had to clean.
All of that ever happened to you?
Yeah, it's the worst.
It's the fucking worst, man.
The vomit, the vomit in the early days is okay. It's milky vomit.
No, that's the smell.
Yeah.
It's like that doesn't smell, man. No. For me, in the beginning. Smell everything. In the beginning? No. Just nothing. Not even the shits. Vomit. Not even the shit. The vomit. She vomit? Already burping up? Yeah.
She vomits as a as a shit. Turned from black to brown.
It's gone yellow.
Okay, so now it's yellow. It's just milk. Shit.
Milk, milk. Shit.
When the solids come in, is when it's interesting. That's.
That's terrible. I changed the first nappy, man. Yeah, yeah, I did, I did, but I tried. I said I didn't, I didn't want to, but something came over me, man, that when it happened I was like, get out of the way. I was fucking I grabbed her and I was fucking changing, wiping everything. I was, I was, I turned into a midwife. You turned into Carmilla for real? I did, I did. As I said to the other day, Nona descended from heaven and entered my body.
I was expressing my wife's tits.
She had these expressing things on breasts. Whatever. It's actually a tit breast, right? So these things, these cups on there, it's an areola.
And it was on the nipples. On the nipples.
And nothing was coming out. But it's amazing how much those how big, like how big they got. Yeah. It was. And hard like a rock. The my wife's breasts were. It's like a 7-Eleven now. And so I was pushing the rock down. I was milking it and all this milk was just dripping out and everyone was looking at me. The midwife, the lady came in, I was like, yeah. And all this milk was coming out. And she goes, oh my God, you're really good at this. I was like,
I know. So I changed seven nappies, seven nappies, and my wife hadn't changed one.
I never understood the thing about breastfeeding, to be honest, because, you know, if they know, don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful thing, but it never stops, you know? If a woman just keeps breastfeeding and lactating and it just never stops, it never turns off.
Yeah. It's, um.
It just you could feed till the kid's six years old if you want. It never stops.
It's pretty amazing. And when kids get sick, I read this thing. Their saliva kind of gets sucked back into the nipple, and the mother's body creates, like, an an antibody to help with the sickness that the baby has. Look it up. It's really interesting.
It's so crazy. Yeah. It's so crazy. Like she had all these. My. My wife had a duct on underneath her arm that, like, it was like a golf ball man, like a blocked duct. And we had to keep pressing it and then pressing. Yeah. She had a milk duct that was blocked and it was like.
Oh, no shit. Under the armpit. I was.
Pressing, pressing the the pressing that.
Came out.
But then, Then the baby would feed and they would go soft again. And then the next morning they were like crazy. It's it's insane how it all happens, man.
Those blocked milk ducts, it's so painful. So that's why that's you're doing a good job because you're preventing her from getting mastitis.
Mastitis.
That's what I was thinking about.
I haven't heard in a long time.
Cystitis, mastitis.
I said worst case. Worst case scenario. I suck it out myself and just get all the milk out.
I've actually heard of that. Like people have done that.
Really.
Themselves partners.
Have done. I've never seen anything more disgusting in my life than placenta. Oh yeah.
Yeah. The placenta is not nice. It's not. But some people eat that shit, by the way. You know that.
Yeah, I do know that. And why they have to show it to me. I have no idea. They said, well, we've got a surprise for you. The lady said after the birth. Right. Literally, no. She goes, we've got a surprise for you. We've got a surprise for you. I was like, oh, they're going to give us a nice gift. And they come out with this chopped liver, £2 of chopped liver with a sack over it. I was like, what's that? Man, they go, this is the placenta. I said,
just throw it out. I don't, I don't I don't want it.
I want I do wear it as a hat. What are you going to do, man?
No, but I was so shocked. I was so shocked. Put it on a necklace. I was so shocked that it was like that big and that much of it. The baby's in there. In it. And it was stuffed in there with the baby.
Yeah, it comes out. Come on. Hold on. The baby's in the.
Center, right?
No.
The baby's in the sack.
In the sack. Sack. And then. So you birthed the baby. And then you still have to birth the placenta.
The placenta?
Yeah.
What a miracle. Birth. Birthing is right. How was it? What a crazy thing.
So the delivery room. Oh. All right. So I went in. I put the scrubs on.
Yep.
You guys put the scrubs on?
Wait, wait. We didn't have to do that because it wasn't no scrubs.
Of course I had to put the scrubs on. No he's not. He had to. He didn't. Oh.
It wasn't.
So she had a seizure because she was breech, right, as Frank breech. His baby wasn't moving, had no room, so I had to do a seizure. So I put the scrubs. I was all good, I was good, I was, I was cracking some jokes, I was feeling good. I was saying, I'm going to be good. I'll be there for her. I was holding her hand. They have the sheet up. I go there, I sit down and, uh. And then, um, they're working. All of a sudden, I. There's a smell of steak in the room. I was like, what's going on?
Someone's cooking the chops in the corner.
Some barbecue sauce, please. I was like, someone's cooking a steak in here. What?
Because some ribs.
And coconut sugar. Thanks. Because you know what they do? They cut well, they cut it, right, but with with hot. So it's Sears. So it's literally gonna.
That's the. That's terrible. I never knew that.
So so instead of the when they cut it there's blood coming. It's see is it.
Oh right.
So that's what that was the smell I was like he goes oh wait that's oh cool.
Oh that's cooking flesh. Yeah. Boom.
Mhm. Then, then then I'll just see the, the doctor's like hard. Yeah. Like like like they're pulling open like.
He's going to pass out.
Like they're trying to yank something and they're pulling her out. And I was like yeah. Like he goes how long is he going. It's not far. Not far.
Oh you weren't watching that.
No no no no. Because there's a sheet up sheet.
Oh okay. Right. Yeah.
Then all of a sudden they go, she's here, she's here and puts the baby over the sheet. The immediate change of mood.
Mood.
So I went from this like I'm here to the tears that came into my eye. And I was trying not to because I was embarrassed. I was embarrassed to cry, I was I went, uh, I bawled my eyes out. Fifi didn't cry. One drop of nothing. And I was in there crying. And then they gave me tissues. I was like, this is it. So then I went over and they put the they put her on the table and checking her legs and this, that or the other. And they asked me to cut the umbilical cord, which
is stupid because they already cut it. Just half cut.
It's dumb. The thing is.
It was already cut. So I thought I was going to be the one to to cut the second cut. It was like a, it was like a token cut. It was, it was like it just they moved all the stuff and it was white. It was a piece of rubber, I cut it, I was like, I was whatever.
Did they fold it like a like over like that? So you.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
The guys just went like a telephone cord like that. And.
And then I just went, it was just a rubber cut it and then.
That's stupid. Don't you think.
It's so dumb.
That.
I was like. I was like, well, it's not connected to her. Then I cut it. I was like, oh, so that's you're just making me feel what it feels like to cut it. Anyway, I was crying my ass out then. Then the guy puts the baby up. He goes, come near the baby for a photo. Because I had a doula in there taking photos. Is this. This lady was lady was taking photos, and, um, there's a photo of me next to the baby, and you can see I don't know what the hell's going on. I'm crying,
and I got a tissue in my hand. And just like. Took the kid. Took took that. Um. And then just, um. Then they gave me the baby. I went outside, and then the minute the the baby looked in my eyes, man, I swear I was like, I was looking through into my soul. I never had anything pierce my heart as as as hard as that. When then she looked, but she kept looking at me and it just didn't break eye contact. I was like, what the fuck is going on right now, man? What is this feeling of what happened?
You became a father, my friend.
Yeah, but that was just silly. How? It's like I never I was never like. I didn't think it would be like that. Everyone says it. Everyone's like, oh, you know, when you have a kid, mate, you don't know that switch. It comes on. But it really does. Come on. Like there's a switch.
There's a switch.
It's a switch. I just thought it'd be like. Oh, yeah, pull your socks up. I love the kid. I'll look after the kid some some weird. What's your godly, godly thing happens. It's your kid.
It's weird. Paternal thing comes on.
So have you seen since. Hey. And the murderous rage I felt. If anyone ever touches her or does anything to her, I will go to jail for murder. So weren't you inviting people for dinner and shit afterwards? And I was so emotional that I was walking around with a tissue, going, I love you all. I love everyone here. We should all go to dinner.
Like what? The doctors.
The doctors?
What? I don't know what came over me, man, but it was a magical, magical, magical moment. It was beautiful. And, uh, she's. Yeah, she's been great. And she's very cute and, um, very blessed. That's good. What about you guys? Well, because Unfortunately, for some reason the babies are all coming out breech. So Georgina, our kids. But we didn't. No we didn't. So al, for some reason, our generation now the kids aren't they don't turn. So they want to go us first. So my both kids were caesarean.
Both Caesar's.
Both Caesar's and uh, and the first one. And I'll never forget Luca came out and the same thing. They pulled it over the sheet and they said, it's a boy. And Georgina was like, ah, how is it? I'm like, it's fucking disgusting. Because as soon as they came out, he opened it up and look for some reason had shit in his mouth. And he went, he goes, it's the boy. And he went, oh fuck. All this stuff came out of his mouth. And I was like, oh,
it's a boy. I was almost vomiting. I'm vomiting now thinking about it almost.
I remember that too, man.
You know? And then they clean it up and then, then I went over and did all the exact same thing, you know. So, The difference was I didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl. I didn't find out the gender for both. For both? Oh, didn't you know? So the second one, everyone thought it was a girl or boy. Girl or boy. And when I came out to be a girl, that's when Georgina balled her eyes out. Because she wanted a little girl. And. And I was just like, yeah, okay, it's a girl. And it was
the same, but it happened so quickly. You almost. Now the cesarean is like three, three minutes. I was in there and I was crying out, and you're done. You know, I don't know.
I didn't experience natural.
You had natural births.
So we're in there for a bit. And then you see the a new found respect for all women, by the way, regardless of whichever way they give birth. But are you in there for hours, uh, waiting for this thing to come, and then all the pain and all the yelling, and then suddenly there's a baby there. But I remember when I first came out was a boy, and I was like, fantastic. First, first born. Same thing as you call everything. Second one when the head was was was going to be a bit graphic now, isn't it?
But when the head was coming out, it looked exactly like my first boy, and I was like, yes, another boy. And then she came out the whole thing.
I said, oh, it's a girl.
Where's the dickhead? Did you, did you.
Did you watch it all come out and everything?
Yeah, I watched everything.
Yeah. No, no, no. That's like watching your favorite restaurant burn down.
Yeah, yeah. Kind of. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Exactly like.
That. I didn't I didn't make that up. Robbie Williams said once. Yeah. He said, uh, he goes when I saw the births, it was like watching my favorite pub burned down.
Burned down. I've heard that before, but no, it's. Oh, fuck.
I couldn't have watched. I couldn't have watched it. Even if it was natural. I couldn't have.
Watched you say that because. No, you just you just you had.
You know me, I can't I can't watch any of it. I would have vomited all over the place.
There's a part there's a curious part of your mind that goes, I just gotta.
I peeked over.
I gotta look, I peeked, I gotta.
Look, I peeked over photos. So I got there's photos, but I haven't got those ones yet. But I peeked over and I saw what was a ring. I got photos of it. It was like a rubber ring. I got it right here, if you want to see it. Of of Luca. Yeah. The photo of coming out. Oh no no no. Like do you. Yeah. Like do you see. But did you. Yeah. So they make an incision with, with small. Right. But then they pull it.
Open.
Open around this ring and then they start yanking the baby out.
It's crazy because my I was cesarean too, by the way. Yeah. Yeah. 46 years ago.
You were I didn't.
I was like one of the like was really early days. My mom looked like Frankenstein down there, man. She just chopped her all up, man.
Are you serious?
Yeah. Yeah.
I didn't even know they did it back. Did your auntie do it or something?
Yeah, my dad did it. With secateurs.
Just.
Yeah. With the seeds.
With a with a chainsaw grinder. Another thing I was I was surprised about was I was always a bit like, you know, they come out all sort of gunky. Mhm. I've seen babies. They got clumps of that white stuff. Mhm. It's it's this stuff. But apparently that stuff's really good for you. So girls put it on their face. Have you heard that.
Yeah. Apparently you're meant to keep it on.
Keep it on.
Yeah. For.
But even people take little clumps of it and they put it on their own face because it's really good for your skin.
Oh, I should do. So I was worried.
About, like, the smells and the gunk and like, what? Is it going to stink or is it going to be all weird? As soon as the baby came down, I kissed that thing like he never believed it. Oh. Did you? I was like, I love you. Mhm. The amount of I didn't care about nothing.
The amount of placenta you ate was unbelievable.
Mate. I just just everything went out the window man. Changed nappies. I was driving. I told you something clicked. I told you what's gonna happen. But he's been incredible, man. She. She morphed into this mother that was just like, looking at her, going. Wow. And how. Where's the dog? The dog is, uh. The dog came home was when we brought the baby home. The dog was a bit, um, a bit weirded out. Yeah. What's going on with someone? And because it was someone new.
Competition.
Competition. And it.
Was.
She's being weird. The dog was. It was being weird. Because every time it came near, I was like, no, no. And so every time it was like, what's what's what's what's going on? It doesn't like me anymore especially. But Fifi is so good. She's so alert and loves the dog so much, like a human that she juggles this. You know, like, just before I left today, I went and said goodbye to my kid. I went, well, Fifi was breastfeeding the dog. Now I left, I walked out,
left the dog say goodbye to Millie. I was like, oh, that's about Millie. And then I left.
Yeah. Millie out now? Oh, no. Millie.
Millie. Millie. But but I just walked straight past her because I was I was fulfilled enough.
No, no. When I, when I had my first, I had cats. Three cats. Loved those cats. Loved the hell out of their cats. And then I don't remember their names. Ever since my kid was born and I've never seen them again, I don't.
Think they ran away. That's not the same cats. They ran away. Those ones. Um, very, very, very, very great experience. Yeah. It's good. That's good.
Man. So many firsts for you to come now. So you're the first the first first word, the first solids. The first step. First. The first. Everything's coming up for you, man.
Well, you know what, though, on that topic, you know, everything you do is a first in life. Everything.
Everything.
Every day, every step, every every breath. Really? Yeah. It is. This is not a first. I've done. I've done a podcast. I've never done this podcast. No. This podcast. The first time you ever saying what you're going to say next.
You've never done it in this sequence. Say something of words. You never say something that way.
Something.
First time. First time ever.
I've said something before. But you said it again.
First time. First again. Then.
You said it's so you think about.
It's crazy man. Someone told me that, like, everything you do is a first. I was like, yes, it's true, but I know what you mean. The first step, the first thing. I'm going to get her to call me Papa as well. It's gonna be a challenge. Yeah. That's going to be a challenge. Because naturally, they're going to call you dad. Because everything they see in the world these days and stuff. Listen. Whatever you. When do they. When do they, um.
Say it's later on? Maybe. But in the beginning.
You know, you're right when, you know, once they're 6 or 7 or something like that, but 6 or 7. When do they say the first word again? About 25. No. No, one.
12 months, something like that.
12 months. One and a half. Depends.
Oh, you know, actually 12 months. No, no.
No.
12, 12 months.
Some. Some could be 12 months. So they say. Shit.
You'd be walking some by about 12 months.
Yeah, some would be walking at 12 months.
Well first step or whatever. 13, 14 months and stuff.
Year and a half maybe. Yeah. You didn't have to worry about that for a while. A couple of years before they start saying Papa or dad or whatever.
Is she doing those noises? Yeah. When sleeping going.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah she does, she does.
Used to make me crazy man. When you take her home and in the bedroom and he's trying to sleep and you hear it's perfectly silent, then you hear yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I love.
It.
I'm, I'm I'm stupid. Last night I got up because I didn't hear it. I got up and I just went, yeah.
You do.
That. No. But but you know how you look. I look to get to see if it was breathing. It was dark, so I had my eyes right on her chest. I saw that I was going just to see. Just to see, but I couldn't see. So then I wasn't confident. So I tapped her and I went and she went. And so I was like, oh, she's all right. She's fine. And I went to bed like randomly, just like always with the first one. With the second one, the less just slept in the garage.
Yeah.
You didn't have to worry about it.
It gets less and less.
Well, yeah. No, it's been no sleepless nights. I think it's been good that fifi's, uh, also rolled into it, so, um. Yeah, nicely. She's she's really taken it in her stride, which is, uh, which has been good and she's loving it. Which is, which is good. So that helps. Yeah.
I mean, the first time you put it in the baby seat.
Of the.
Car in the the thing.
I don't know if I got it right.
Click it in, click that stupid capsule thing in. I remember all that. Like, do you remember that stuff?
The seatbelt was across her. Yeah, because it's so small. Like it's just too small. I was like, did I put the. I was supposed to put the flap up or down? She's supposed to sit up on this flap part. I don't know. We just put her in and I drove 25km an hour.
What color was she dressed in when you took her? Because I remember my my boy was dressed in red. I don't know why it was a red jumpsuit. I don't know why red. I don't know why he was in red, but I remember she was in pink. Man in pink.
In pink I can't remember, I can't remember he was vomiting.
I can't, I can't, I can't, I.
Can't remember much of that.
I don't know why he was in red though.
I just remember that I don't remember much for Alicia for some reason. I don't know why, but for Lucca, I remember that that we that we had so many people come on the visit that we had to. I couldn't have him. The nurse midwives got upset, so I had to move everyone into the waiting room.
There was too many people in the room.
Too many people coming to the room. They got upset with us, man. They're like, you have to. You can't have any more visitors. We're like, oh, look, I didn't. They just, you know.
They the baby, though. It's for the baby.
It's a really weird.
Because you get him out, and.
She had, like, major abdominal surgery, and she's trying to, like, the next day she was up, you know? Yeah, she was up. They were up the next day, and it was. And then she was telling me that there was only a small needle because Georgina had the epidural. Her needle was fucking. Did she have an epidural? Georgina had an epidural because I had that back then. They used to give an epidural. There's a new thing now. There's a
new thing now. Anesthesia. Yeah. It's this big. Yeah. No, no. An anesthesia that gives you the anesthetic and then an epidural in, in that spot so that they could do the thing. Now how's that? Lies. It's a small. It's a small thing. Small little thing.
I had emergency C-sections, two of them. So I had to have an epidural. Oh, really? Yeah.
I also had the guy. So the first time I held my baby, the anesthesia just wanted a selfie with me.
Really?
Yeah. So, guys, I came to your show. Do you mind if I get a selfie? I was like, I was. I was crying, going, oh.
You got placenta on your face cause.
You're so I sort of I leaned, I leaned up. Yeah. It was weird and awkward hanging out. This is going was it? I sort of leaned over and just went, I did that. And then he came back. But he was a legend. They were all the team was fantastic. They were great. The team was great in there. They were good. The. Yeah, the guy delivered his Italian guy. Doctor Joe Sgroi. How were the. How were the midwives? Sicilian, actually. Are they all different? Because my midwife, we had midwives.
One was young. There were 28 midwives that came in. They kept signing off and they're like, I'm off at 3:00, I'm off at 10:00, I'm off at and every. But they were amazing.
They're all so great except one.
She was shit. I'm not going to say who it was. That's it. No, I remember there was there was old school and new school. But back this is going back about ten years ago. Eight years ago now. uh, she'd come in one and say, all right, come on, get up, get up. You gotta.
Get up. Oh, you remember that one?
Come on, move around, move around.
You got to.
Be moving now because you know this cesarean. Then the other one's like, you know, uh, hippie. And they're all really good, man. You just.
I don't know, I had a little bit different experience.
You just. You just have a different, uh, different outlook and everything. Why?
Because mine was. Because Tana was Prem. So he was. Was he? He was born seven weeks. Prem. So they took him seven weeks. So they took him from us and put him in the little nursing department. And then he got jaundice, which is when they turned purple a little bit and put him in that little incubator. And
they kept her in there for two days. And then I went in one day to go the one I got there the following morning to go visit him, and she says, oh, listen, just letting you know before you go in there, don't get alarmed or anything, but we've had to keep him in the incubator overnight, so he's got a thing on his eyes to protect his eyes from the ultraviolet light, and they put a little net over his head, and he's all fine and he's comfortable. Don't get alarmed. And I went in there and his
head looked like the piccolo man. They put the net, they put this thing on his eyes. And for two days he was in the dark in that thing.
No, he would have freaked out.
And I.
Lost.
My shit. I had my kids in there. What's it doing in there? That's perfectly fine, Mr. Mayor.
Get the shit off his neck.
I freaked out a bit, but.
It looks like I've got a salami on his head. Get off!
Man, that would have freaked you out.
But.
Freaked.
You out? Yeah, I called him Capocollo head for a bit after that, but he was all right.
Yeah. No. It's good. Mum's. Mum's loving it. Mum's loving.
It. Oh, yes. Gran first. No no no. Third, third now. Third grade.
Third. Grand. But she's just, you know, like caught her singing to her.

I was like, fucking hell, man. Do you ever sing to me? Yeah, she would have. She did. She's the best. She's the best. Grow up man.
