A fun, honest and unscripted conversation between Emma and Elliot on non-judgemental parenting and millennial-based topics, as we relax on an evening doing a craft or creative activity.

 Welcome back. We are here again. Welcome to the editing room of the pod Craft here for a special extra bonus mega episode of Don't Wake the Baby, uh, full of all the bits and bobs that got cut out. Uh, some of it's. Very funny 'cause it's, uh, like little outtakes and things that are less professional, even even less professional, even less professional than can you imagine the main content.

Um, but some of it really is, uh, like interesting bits that we just couldn't physically fit into some of the episodes. So some interesting stories and extra all, all sorts of things that are, see, I have no idea 'cause I can never remember what we've said. So that'd be surprise for me too. It's mostly just you talking about stuff where I've gone.

This is too Ramly comforting, the Emma Rambles episode where I just talk about random stories that Ellie doesn't think are very interesting. A lot of, a lot of it is just random stuff. This wraps up our recent batch of episodes. Yeah, fairly nicely. And you can hear all the bits that were cut out and have a, uh, overview of all the different topics from that we've been chatting about recently.

I normally know from his look that I'm like, this isn't gonna make it in. But I don't stop. 'cause I like to finish my trail of thought. We're normally five minutes from the end of an episode, I'm like wrapping up and Emma's like, oh, I've got another story to tell now, another story tell you. I'm like, oh, I've watched it.

Interesting documentary. And, um, the thing happened on it. And he always looks at me like it's got nothing to do with what we're recording. We've already Ted, Ted, we've tangented within. The thing where we were trying to introduce the tangents. Oh, sorry. Within the tangent episode. Right. So are we introducing the tangents?

Okay. Testing. Testing. How are we doing? I'm gonna be yawning. Me too. I'm just tired. Just tired. I, I'm trying to think of a fact to tell you to test that I sound okay. Are you ready to talk about Wiggles? Yep. Yep. I was gonna say, do you know now in the opinion polls, Jeremy Corbin is above Care Star. Pull up her beanbag to the conversation.

You join once again. Um, Emma and Elliot, I always forgot my name there. I was like, you know what your name is to have some, uh, chit-chatting about parenting, but engage in, uh, chat with us. Listen, listen to us. Listen to us. Listen. You can chat away if you want, but people will think you're crazy. Don't talk over us.

Uh. Listen to some of our thoughts on what we are up to in parenting life and, uh, yeah. Have, have a bit of fun. Um, I'm Elliot. I have brown hair. I, I'm Emma, and I have blonde hair. Well, you don't really, it's, it's blondish. I mean, people saw you will have blonde hair. Yes, true. But, uh, it's, it's fake. It's all fake.

No, it's, it's my real hair magic and de illusionary. They're gonna say, see, sweetie, you don't understand. People do have fake hair. Oh, I see. You know, like, um,

yeah, like weaves and stuff? Yeah. Yeah. Or like, uh, wigs or like, yeah. Uh, other, other options. All that kind of thing. Options available. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So it's my real hair. Yeah. Yeah's just light a bit. It's just the dy a different color. Yeah. Sometimes it's pink. I mean. Who knows when you look at this, that's true.

It's fun when you die at pink. Haven't done that in a while. No. Well, I I don't think people take me as seriously. That would've been quite a shock if I said, I'm Elliot with brown hair and you are Emma with pink hair. Yeah, true. But then we are those kind of wacky people, aren't we? A bit, yeah. I don't It's that wacky.

You gotta know what you're in for here. You got me. Who doesn't know what's going on. Yeah, it's true. You. Didn't cut out all the bits at the start. You see it's not gonna be a good week for a record.

How bright

do you wanna do the intro sound? Uh, Lola, do you wanna do it? Can you make a noise? Nope. No. No's not gonna happen. We don't make noises on demand. Bing. It's sick. Parenting achievement, timet. I'm gonna do that again, right? Don't be sick. Just let Dali make the noise. Please don't be sick on the podcast and equipped with Lola on the microphone.

That'll be a pain to clean up. Do you want another parenting pill or not? Do you have one? No, but I thought I might be able to think of one quickly only if it was very short, but I don't, I dunno if we've, has Lola done anything? Lola's been all right recently. Lola has, I mean, she's a dead devil, but she'd been Okay.

Yeah. Trying to think of, yeah, I'll move on. If I suddenly think of one, we can just put it in Trahan. If we've not really found Lola in any like funny. Has she not climbed anything funny recently? Has she or no? I don't think so. I mean, she tries to climb everything. Mm. Did I mention where she gave everybody shake things at the library?

Dunno if that's a parenting fail though. Well, no, but she hasn't got the concept of people rejecting things. She like forces things upon people. It's not really a quick story though. No, it's true. Um,

oh well it's not, it's just kind of funny. Lola's got a so throat at the minute, so she sounds like a little mouse. Or Dar Vader, and this relates to the topic today, but it's quite nice now. When she cries, it's not loud.

It's just like, ha, ha, ha. It's so light. It's. Like you can't, could just kind lost a voice. Yeah. Again, I dunno how this is a parenting fail or, oh, I don't, no. I'll maybe mention it later. You right. Is funny. It is funny.

Right. Let's see. Testing. Testing. You ready with your notes, Emma? I'm ready with my. Three bullet points of basically three words. Very good. Very organized. Yeah, it was very impressed. I'd got notes, so when I opened I was like, I haven't really written anything. Um, it was a funny moment where you couldn't find your notes for a while then, so just looking for them.

I was like, ah. Found them. Oh, I've only got two things on them. I was impressed. Dad's died though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. People don't know when We don't, doesn't normally prepare for this podcast. Just turn up and just speak drl. Speak Dr. No, speak. Lots of wisdom for the people. Thank you. The people must hear your wisdom.

Oh. At least. You know, they enjoy my bumbling. Yes.

Uh, yeah. People had come in like, you know, dressed up as their favorite wiggle. Yeah. In the various colors. People's faces in the cup. They say they're coming to the UK next year, next time we're going all out. Yeah. Signs. Dressing up. Yeah. So you sounds really keen. Doesn't me, it's, I, it's not my cup of tea, I must say.

I'm not, I'm like a little introvert. I'm not expressive. I, yeah, I don't, yeah. See, I wouldn't say I'm extroverted, but I'm very happy to make a fool of myself. Yeah. In any scenario. Yeah. I don't know why you'd call that. Not sociable, but fullheartedly. I'll just walk along and be like, I'm, I'm not with these guys.

I thought we could all be trees, all be trees. Like the tree of wisdom. That's not too bad. I don't mind like Yeah, prefer because then you could just wear is what I thought. Like, you know, wearing a wiggle top somehow. Like you, that's too hard. There's no wiggle merch in the UK like that. Oh. So like I looked it up.

Well, a lot of people made their own, didn't they? Yeah, but I'm not that crafty. Mm. So we're just gonna be treats, but you're gonna be how, what? How you gonna make a tree? What's easy? Right. We just, you can't make your own top, but you can make a tree. Yeah, but it's just like the accessories to make yourself into a tree.

You just need like a load of foliage. That sounds like way, like you could get a top printed or you could iron on a thing, or like, that's way easier than making a tree. I definitely like a tree. The tree, God. Tree next, just right. Anyway. Anyway. If there's a one in York next year and you see a load of trees turn up, that's us.

Um, so like every other kid had one of these bubble wands. Yeah. Um, which didn't help for the, you know. Then everyone wanting one true and them being very expensive. That's why it's the clever system. Well, it's, yeah. Once one kid's got a bubble one, everybody wants it. Exactly, exactly it. Yeah. Yeah. You can't really do anything about it.

It is what it's, but it, yeah, everything was full of bubbles. Um, so what was hysterical is. Cousin Sophie wouldn't turn off her bubble wand. Lily, who's so careful, would only turn us on a tiny bit because she didn't wanna waste the bubbles. Didn't want the mixture to run out. No. 'cause she was like, I'm saving them.

And I was like, for what? She was like for special. I was like, okay. Not the wiggle show that's special, but just saving the bubbles. Mm-hmm. Onto the next clip. I'm trying to think what else I've made you watch like Chicago, oh yeah. I mean, any, any musical that's available on Disney or Netflix or whatever you've made me watch.

Yeah. I'm just, it is interesting that we suddenly, I think we just, all four of us collectively went kind of down a rabbit hole of, then we just watched tons of musicals. Oh, right. Yeah. Like throughout our childhood, because we'd clearly got into them. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. This what? Cute. I remember going to like blockbusters and like finding musicals.

Mm. Which doesn't exist anymore. I've gotta to say actually, um, when I was very little, um, well very, you know, um, about maybe four or five. Well, that is very little. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, just not as little as we are talking about with toddlers here. Well, yeah, that's true. Um, my mum used to do like local, uh, what, like amram Amram stuff?

Yeah. Like there was a little. Like in our village, they did little outdoor performances. That's fun. Um, I remember, I think like Wind in the Willows was particularly what she enjoyed doing with them. I remember her telling me about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, I think then once we moved, I don't think she ever did.

Was she like Badger or something? Something like that. Did, did anything like that ever again, but um, yeah. So I probably saw some stuff like that. Yeah. You must have done. Yeah, because like you, we, we definitely went to like all the local like pantomimes at Christmas and stuff like that. Yeah, yeah. I remember.

Um, what was it? Oh, you weren't there. Um, so I saw like a couple of comedians as well at uni. Um, so there was Jimmy Carl. Alan and Alan Davies. It was good at Abbra with, 'cause it was like an arts place. Yeah. And like it's the only big-ish place on the coast along there. So Yeah. It was So a lot of people would stop off there, a place where like people touring would come and do performances at Yeah.

Which we, we'd never been anywhere. No. Never been anywhere. We'd never lived anywhere. That's what your famous comedian would come, because we were quite, you know, country bumpkins. Yeah. So we never, we'd had to drive like several hours to a city to access any of these things in the past. Um, but I remember Alan Davies was really good.

See him like, yeah, yeah. Um, so yeah. But um, yeah, I think, I think you're right. I think with our like age group particularly, I think stuff like this is very popular. Mm-hmm. Nice. And as a growing audience, but they're not going and paying to see traditional, like West End stuff. It's true. 'cause I know that that's struggling.

Well, I think it depends time for another tangent. So there's like Kaia, which is like a girl who's, uh, pretends to be a doll. Right. Um, like so they, this man thinks the dolls come to life. Yeah. Um, then obviously Swan Lake, um, oh, what was the other one I was gonna think of? Oh, I need to come up with a list later.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Because in my head I was like, oh, what would be good for Lily to see? See, I don't know any stories. They're Nutcracker. That's a good one. They could be talking a different language. I'm like, what is this? Nutcracker is good for Christmas. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I've, yeah, I've heard of Nutcracker.

Yeah. Um, but yeah, I, I don't know any ballet. Not only these poor films have come out pretending to be the Nutcracker. They don't even have like a very similar storyline. I don't know how they can say That's it. Yeah. So if our advice to the like theater industry would be to like create a brand that like kids love.

Yeah. And then do a live show of that. This is again, good thing about going to see like a kid orientated show. Mm. Like, you don't have to worry about having like little fidget toys that will make noise or, you know, for babies, if you need something that rattles, it's not too much of a problem. Yeah, true.

Yeah. Yeah. Um, just wait till that banging, uh, down a bit. Yeah, I think, but parents know, drinks and snacks are always the way to go travel. Anything like that you do. Drinks and snacks. Next parenting story, please. Future or past Elliot editing person. You get the vibes. That's the idea. The vibes, what we're going for.

You get it guys? Um, we were, I was talking to Emma earlier. Uh, you know, like when we were planning, we were plotting, plotting, um, about what we were gonna talk about in this episode. And I said, do you wanna talk about illness or do you wanna talk about baby led weaning, uh, with, you know, cow's milk, protein allergy?

And we've gone for, as, you know, the, the, the latter. Yeah. Um, but, but now we're all, we are both down with illnesses. There's illness going around the house, so it probably would've been a good time to talk about it. It would've, but you know. I clearly made the wrong decision. It's the parenting way we'll act with illness.

Yeah. Illness has struck again, and September's not even here yet. Like it's gonna be, well, it will be when this episode comes out. Oh, okay. I mean, imagine we are in September. September, but I'm worried about when we're actually in September if we're No, yeah. Yeah. Could That's upset. She's gonna start school and it's gonna be like a blood bath of illnesses are gonna come into this household.

No, Lola starting nursery. So that's another set of illnesses. No. So I just worry it's gonna be like constant. Don't provide me, I'm just gonna bury my head in the sand. I don't wanna hear it. Right. Um, I was gonna say, another thing we found recently was, um, I'm just gonna like drop product names throughout this episode.

Yeah. Is, um, they did gluten-free and milk free, um, madeleines. Yeah. And they were from Sainsbury's I think. Um, I was very impressed they had them 'cause I've never had a gluten-free. Madeline and Lola could have them. Yeah. Which was great. Yeah, because they're like a staple. If people don't know if Lily asks for a snack, she wants some Madeleine.

Yeah. Do you wanna, I mean it's like a French thing. Do you wanna explain what it is like? I dunno. Everyone will know. It's like a little French cake. It's a little cake, isn't it? Um, they're a little bit like a ma. I dunno if people a bit like a Madeira cake. Yeah. In flavor. Yeah. Um. And they're like a little, almost shell shape, I would say.

Again, you. Like highlighting again that we're just giving her cake is not really a baby led weaning food. It's not though you are just buying cake. Maybe we'd have to change the name of this episode. It's not really baby led weaning. It's just what food can we find to give Toola? What food can we feed Lola?

Um, but she really enjoyed that recently. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, because it's handy when I take one for Lily out, I can now take one for her. So they have one each. Cool. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, again, like we're getting towards, you know, the one year mark. Now we're beginning to approach, so like we're be getting a lot more blase about what food we give her.

She's a lot more capable of managing, like not drinking. I'm excited. Once she can have honey, it'll be exciting. Yeah. Because there's so many meat dishes where I'm like, oh, if she could have honey, like, you know what I mean? Even on vegetables, I'm like, that would make it taste better. Yeah. Like just there's so much stuff where, because you don't wanna give her sugar, but, yep.

You can't give a honey, which would be slightly healthier. Yeah. Time for another tangent. Yeah. And it's why I'm very on it. This is a side note, but if we ever do like Lily, a party, a very thing to like ask all the parents, like you can say if your child has an allergy. 'cause I'm happy to go out of my way to make something for them.

And that was before we had Lola because I understood how hard it is going to things and being like, well, do I bring my own stuff? Like. So I'm now very aware of, to always ask people if they are coming to one of Lily's parties to be like, what, what do they eat? Like, can they not eat certain things? And I always trying to be like, it's not, it's not a big deal.

If they do, like, I'm happy, I'm happy to make, especially now we have Lola. I'm like, well, something will inherently be gluten-free and dairy free anyway. So we now have like one thing that probably caters for most people.

Right. Don't, don't touch the microphone. 'cause that will make noises when we record. Okay. Okay. Okay. Don't touch. Yes, it's very loud. Why? Why are you, why are you screaming? Because you were excited. Yeah. Yeah. Alright. It's your debut on the podcast. What's going on, right? Daddy asks you some questions in a second and you've gotta try and answer, okay?

Right. So if you and mommy are gonna share, we wanna make sure. Um, I'll move my head here. You might just

don't touch it. We, excuse me. Why are you touching the microphone? You're as balanced, Lola. You are. I went see, well, no, no, no. We don't see anything. It just listens to us. Oh, I went to, can you see on here? Can you see? Look, look. It's recording you're talking. Can see this going along there. This is recording your voice and then we can listen to it afterwards.

A video. You want me to do a video too? Yeah, I'll do, do videos and I'll do a video and he'll do the recording. Okay. Yeah. Right. And me and you. Do you wanna say what? Who, who are you? What's your name? Lily. Yeah, Lily. And we're gonna talk about you going to school. Hi. I would talk about mommy picking you up.

Hi, mommy. Picking you up, like, and I always get annoyed, which I know is silly because Lucy teacher's really good. Of course she's good. Her class lasts slightly longer than the other class. So all the other classes are coming out. Yeah. And this annoys me particularly on a Tuesday because we have to rush to get her to ballet Uhhuh.

And I'm like, I won't say a teacher's name, but I'll be like, come on, let them out. We need to get to ballet. And I'm sitting there like, she's learning really good. She like keeps them till the time they're meant to be in. Yeah. But I need to get places, we need to wait off to ballet. Mm-hmm. Um, so yeah, you say, tj, what are you excited for?

Are you excited for Halloween? No, for Christmas. Oh, so Christmas. He's got a while yet. Lily too. Can you tell him what? What is Lola gonna get? A Christmas bear a bear? Can you remember his name? Bean Bear. Bean Bear from Miss Rachel. What are you gonna get? Can you remember? You're getting a moland do. Yeah.

And some Lego. Oh, and, and you're getting some books from Mimi and Papa and Granddad, and you're getting a lot of theater vouchers. You can go see lots of shows. Yeah. Yeah. Let's finish, shall we say? Bye-Bye everyone. Thank you, Lily, for being talking on the podcast. No. Yeah. Say goodbye. No, I don't wanna. You don't want to?

Well, we can't keep going forever. Okay. Do it down again. Again. Yeah. Start again. Well, if we say goodbye, we can then listen back to it and see what you said. Okay. Right. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye. Oh, well done. Thank you for joining us today. Yeah. It's been nice having you. Now we can

onto the next clip.

Right? Testing, testing. How are we doing? Are you ready? Yeah. Trying my best not to sniff through the entire thing. Yep.

So it will be a challenge. Are you feeling particularly loud or quiet today? Feeling middly, mid Ridley Middly, which isn't helpful to anyone? No. What am I gonna do about that? Um, do you want me to sound quiet or louder? Not quiet. Never quieter. Louder.

Right. Okay. Let's, uh, let's go. I start. Hint, if you try, pretend to eat it yourself and it becomes, yeah. Some good tips here. Unless you're daddy, in which case it doesn't matter. Yeah. Yeah. I think I read somewhere years ago that it's like a thing though, where they go through a thing where like, I mean, it should be for you two, but Yeah, like they trust their mother, so their mother has it.

They're like, oh, that's safe. Like almost from like a primal thing. And I think it like a psychological thing as well. Don't they often say things like that? Um, you know, children. Like they get the like comfort from mom and then often like the, yeah, the play thing from mom, the play thing from dad's. Like it's not just a stereotype, it's actually about how kids Oh, there is signs behind it.

Yeah. Relate to their parents for different things. Well, they say like, women release a different chemical and that's what they play to. Yeah. So like they're like, oh, that's the comforting person. So I'll go to that. Um. So top tip from me. Take your child to mommy and let them deal with it. Yeah. Let them just sit and cuddle and, uh, dads can get on with the washing and the cleaning and the Yeah, they can clean up the sick.

Uh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So were well suited Torres, but you know, you could have whatever roles you like. Yeah. I've been very impressed recently. There's like, so far I've been like, oh. I hope he does that. And you just do it. Yeah. And then at one point you were like running around and I was like, I've made up our lunches.

And you were Oh, great. Yeah. Well thought we've been almost in sync for once. We haven't had to tell. Yeah. Other than, you know, the school thing. Oh, right. Next parenting story or was forever entry. I was so mean on, on Monday. Lola had thrown up the night before and I was like, oh, we, you should probably not send it.

And Elliot's like, yeah. And I was like. But it's up to you. And he was like, what? I was like, well, I was like, I need to work today. So I was like, you either send up or you're looking after her. 'cause I'm not, I can't, like, I, I, because I, I do most of the childcare midweek. I'm like, I, I have to work on that day.

Like I don't drum mean I have to get done. And I shot me 'cause I was like, oh, it's up to you mate. 'cause uh, I'm working. Yeah. So yeah, I remember these little faces like, we should probably keep her up. I was like, yeah, yeah, should, but. I wanted to be like, 'cause I'm not looking after her. I feel like I can't go have to keep her off.

Like, I'm like Yeah. What she thinks best. Yeah. Yeah. I just felt cruel 'cause I was like, I'll do what you want. Uh, and then you worry like, you know, often, like you need grandparents or or whoever to step in, but like they're often more vulnerable in like they are. Yeah. You know? And our parents are older so they're not like Yeah.

Because I think most people think grandparents, they think of people in their like sixties. Yeah. Um, our are all at 70 or pushing 70. Yeah. Um, some people have grand too, even younger. I, I like, I forget this exists. Yeah. Um, but I'm always like, oh, but they'll get it really badly. Like, it, it won't just be, do you know what I mean?

It won't be like when me and Elliot get, it's normally slightly milder than the kids. I'm like, that'll, that'll be a nasty illness for them, and I don't really wanna subject them to that. Yeah. Um, so it, yeah, it's tricky. Yeah. Um, uh, any other, I think the only other thing not related to, um, our topic of illness today, but, um, we did get a, a comment about, um, in our last episode, we did share in the parenting achievement, the, uh, the noise of that, that train.

Oh, yes. And we asked if anyone had any. Particular could, could outdo us on a, a toy that made us even stranger sounding noise. Has one been entered? Uh, no. Not on that particularly, but they were, we had a comment on Instagram, um, sharing how, um, they've got some toys that work like gifted, that like just look like they're out of a horror film.

So on a kind of related note of kind of. Toys that are slightly strange. Mm. Um, that just like, yeah, just really bizarre. And I was thinking, yeah, we've had them in the past, haven't we? We've one we used to call Scary Barbie. Do you remember? Yeah. She was like an old I'd Got it from the charity shop. It was my fault.

Um, 'cause Lily wanted like a dog. I, well, I did it 'cause with people, da da da. We're, we're trying to, we're wrapping up basically. I got the, from charity shop. I was like, she'll love this. Elliot saw, it was like, it's kind of freaky looking. Yeah. Oh, it's a bit Lily. Hated it. Yeah. And she loves dolls and ever since then we called it Freaky Barbie.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah, true. There are some freaky toys out there that when you look, you're like, ah, is that a bit too possessed to come into the house? So we could also have a competition on like the weirdest looking toy. True, yeah. As well as weirdest sound. But anyway, just to share extra competition.

Yeah. Time for another tangent. Um, and now it's like backfired. The baby only wants to go to sleep in the way that you normally like. So like the way it goes in phases, doesn't it? Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes, like we went through a phase where she would sleep slightly better with me. Yeah. She'd wanna sleep the way that I put her to sleep or, yeah.

When I, I was like, it's really weird. I said, normally I have to hold her, but she wants to lay on my arm. And he is like, oh yeah, she always lays on my arm. And I was like, this really surprised me because we don't normally do that. Different styles. Yeah. Yeah. She was just like laid on my arm, but I had to have it a certain way and it was only afterwards.

I was saying it was really weird, Nelly. It was like, that's how we. That's how I go to sleep. I was like, oh. Mm. I thought, well, she started doing that to me. Now she's like, this is how I go to sleep. I like snuggle on that one bit of your arm. Mm. And I lay down and I was like, ah, how interesting. Yeah.

Especially Lola now has the habit. This isn't even to do with, well, it kind of is over simulation that Lola, as soon as I'm on the toilet, makes a beeline to like climb up the stairs. Yeah. 'cause she knows, I'm like, she loves climbing. I'm, she's like, well, mommy's stuck. She can't stop me. And she loves climbing.

Yeah. So, to clarify, we have, we're on three floors. Yeah. So our, our bathroom on the second floor, just outside, there's another set flight of stairs to go up to the top room. And we already have a stair gate for the other bit. So like we don't Yeah, we should, yeah, we should really get a stair gate for that one, shouldn't we?

Um, but like, he's normally in the office next door to the. Toilet. So I'm always like, she's, she's off. She's off. Yes. And I'm running out like quick. She's halfway up the stairs. She's so clever. 'cause she sits like, she's gonna sit next to you. She's like, oh, I'm just gonna sit as, you'll sit on the toilet and I look at you.

And then you just look down. She's gone. Yeah's gone. And you can like see this, hear this little giggle of the creature. She's going up the stairs. Mm. And you're like, she's gone. So yes, that is, that is always awkward. Um, right. Well that's, that's it. That's enough of our ramblings. That's the end of the episode.

Uh, it would draw it to a close. Did you think I made the right decision? Or maybe some of it should have been left in. Yeah, it would up to me. It'd all be left in 'cause I. Yeah, A, I don't edit it. I'd be terribly lazy, but B, I often think I say very good things. It's not that the things you say aren't very good, it's just that it just gets too long.

We say this and it gets off topic. He sometimes looks at me and he just looks like he's very bored. Um, so I don't think he finds everything that interesting. Yes. Whereas everything I say is, is articulately perfect, because I don't think we often come across as quite articulate. Yeah. It's bad enough listening back to the, the episodes with the stuff that's left in often and saying nonsense.

And the one with our birth story, I say transaction instead of contraction, and it haunts me still to this day when I ever listen back to it. Um, I now, I can't listen to it. Oh, say transaction. How stupid is. It's not at all the same word, just lean into it like me. Just say ridiculous nonsense things all the time.

Then, then you won't worry when you make a slip up of a wordy word because it's true. All, all the words are wordy word, nonsense to nonsense to the things. With that being said. We'll see you next, uh, series. We'll be back soon enough before you know it. Enjoy your life so long for Well, this, this has been Elliot and Emma, Emma.

And we are people who speak to you in the ears. Dear about parroting. This is when he says I go on. We'll wrap this up. Hope you enjoyed this, uh, a little. Insight into our insanity of making these episodes. Okay. Goodbye. Goodbye. I was gonna say love you, but that's not right. That's that'd be a bit weird.

Goodbye. Love you. See you soon. Sweet dreams and sleep well.
