And I left and I thought, you know,
Um, do I just, do I not care about that?
Or like, do people see me that way?
Like when I go for a job or a meeting, like do people just think I reek of whiskey and look like a fucking loser, you know?
And I thought, well, just, just in case let's do the, let's do the week, did the week and ended up doing six months.
And, you know, we became very, very close.
I even brought a friend of mine who had a drinking problem.
how do you talk to your son especially your sons that's really interesting I definitely find it harder with my boys than I do with my girl definitely yeah yeah like I noticed that like I have to I have to remind myself as a parent to try and be more equal with them I find it much easier to wrap my arms around my daughter and tell her that everything's going to be fine and that she's safe and you know she needn't worry and nightmares aren't real and the BFG or whatever was on the Tony like doesn't isn't real and

And I'll take her upstairs into bed with me and let her fall asleep on my chest and like stroke her hair and make sure she feels, you know, all of, you know, the security and the safety and the love.
I've made a few mistakes in the past where I've said something and I've realized what I've said, which is kind of like, it sticks with me a little bit, you know, like, like I remember we were on holiday once and we were kind of diving off this,
I don't do that with the boys.
Really?
Far sterner with the boys.
off the side into the sea and like we had a hoop, right?
So we're kind of driving into the hoop, right?
And he was scared to do it.
And I really toughed him out to do it.
You know, he didn't want to do it.
He didn't want to dive into this hoop.
