From Avo to OnlyFans: A Linguistic Journey
Ever wondered how a simple word like "avo" can lead you into the eccentric, delightful world of Australian slang? Join us as we switch into dad mode, embracing our inner comedians with a cheeky quiz that explores the linguistic gems of Down Under. From "bogan" to "booze bus" and the classic "drongo," we share laughs and insights into the colorful vernacular that keeps Aussies entertained. This episode promises a lighthearted journey, where the charm of Aussie expressions like "mad as a cut snake" and "chucking a sickie" takes center stage, offering both a linguistic adventure and a hearty chuckle.
But that's not all! We also tackle the generational chasm in slang, spicing things up with tales of keeping up with our kids’ ever-evolving lingo while secretly relishing every opportunity to embarrass them. Get ready for discussions that touch on everything from the relaxed use of the infamous 'c-word' to the unique gender dynamics in financial success. Whether it’s the booming world of OnlyFans or the joys and challenges of podcasting with the right creative partners, we blend humor and insight into the art of making and managing money in unconventional ways. This episode is sure to leave you entertained, informed, and perhaps inspired to spice up your vocabulary and your wallet.

Speaker 3:Yeah, don't be a drunk, would be a way of saying it well, an a-hole, I don't a fool I guess, that's the best way to put it an idiot yeah so I should say that to my kids all the time with that, and so they wouldn't even really feel insulted because they won't know what it means. Well, you could. I mean here's one.
Speaker 2:I don't know if you've not in this list, but I like to call my kids dingleberries dingleberries, yeah. So do you know what dingleberry?

Speaker 2:So dingleberry the sheep they're woolly, obviously. Okay, yeah, they got wool. You shave it off. A dingleberry is the shit that sticks and dangles at the back of a. Oh yeah, so it looks like, because it comes out. Obviously it grabs onto the wool and that hangs there, so it looks like little, like little berries. That's what dingleberry is.

Speaker 2:They went like chad, I think here no no, karen, I get what the guy version is yeah, josh was used for like the weirdos that no girls want to ever date. I think that was the one oh well, actually accurate, probably accurate. There's some accuracy there there's some, there's some great accuracy there. Okay, there's no, there's no. This is there. We need to 20 aussie phases. You need to know I could be as mad as a cut snake as mad as a cut yeah, I, I okay, you're extraordinarily angry, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like describing someone who's wild and out of control, because that's what a snake would do if you cut it, you know it gets out of control. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Charges like a wild bull. Charges like a wild bull, yeah, like when you give your kids a credit card and they go into a store, they have a wild bull. Charges like a wild bull, yeah, my like, when you give your kids a credit card and they go into a store, they have a lot similar.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, you ain't being warned about an angry like shopkeeper. Instead it's like commonly used for if you're going into a business with high price tags or something like that. Chucking a sickie. What? What? Chucking a sickie?
Speaker 3:chucking a sickie.
Speaker 2:Yeah, getting rid of a pervert, no, just taking a day off sick. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah okay, all right, so there's there's a lot of these. It can be used in lots of different content, like in situations. It all kind of means the same couldn't organize a piss up in a brewery, couldn't organize a fuck in a brothel, put it, yeah, I mean like a similar somebody that is incapable of doing anything. Basically, yeah right, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's, he's organized a pisser in a brewery.
Speaker 3:Yeah, okay, yeah, spitting the dummy.
Speaker 2:I don't know, I can't even think of something it's a better way to put it if I put it into your words spitting the pacifier. So just be like throwing a tantrum, so pacifier dummy is a similar, similar word.
Speaker 3:Going to the big smoke, going to the big smoke, all right, so you're going to a start, a forest fire but I need to do that.
Speaker 2:That just means going to like the city, a bigger city than where you are.
Speaker 3:Big smog, okay, yeah, all right.
Speaker 2:Smog, I guess, is a better way to put it Having a yarn, having a yarn.
Speaker 3:I'm lying to someone.
Speaker 2:No, that's just having a conversation, oh, okay.
Speaker 3:So we're having a yarn right now?
Speaker 2:Yeah, we're having a yarn right now, basically Right. Having a yarn right now, basically right, about pissing in breweries and fucking spiders, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly a few last ones. Having a squiz, have it taking a piss close? No, not really, it's not close, it's having a look good in your eyes having a sticky bank similar, similar one to having it.
Speaker 3:The squiz is just you're having a look at something closer yeah, then you should, I should have, we should do like an R-rated version of the episode. I just come up with like really dirty versions of what you're saying Exactly Looks like a dog's breakfast Vomit. I don't know. This looks bad.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it looks bad. Basically, you could say that your mate has a face that looks like a dog's breakfast.
Speaker 3:This means that he's an ugly fucker. So if I were to ever visit Australia and I learned some of these terms, would people like it better?
Speaker 2:if I'm using some of these phrases. No, no, I wouldn't give a fuck. Oh, the one thing Australians like to do more than anything just fuck with people. So it's very quick to just, and a group of Australians will quite naturally take on the lies of other Australians around them like it is their own lie in first nature. Yeah, and you won't even know that that person has just joined the conversation later than you and is already more involved and knows more about where the story's going far before you do. They're just good at taking the piss, is the best way to put it. Last, saying that, I'll say taking the piss, which is taking a joke, which is taking a joke.
Speaker 3:Oh, your video just froze.
Speaker 2:Oh no, it's gone down. Oh, there we go. Yeah, it's fixed itself.
Speaker 3:So taking the piss is just, yeah, joking okay, like when I, when we say taking a piss, we're actually going to take a piss yeah, you could say taking a slash, you could say taking a piss.
Speaker 2:it's all around the words and the moment that you are, you know what I mean. It all means the same. Yeah, yeah. I'm about to drop it a million times here and I've done it about the cunt of the world. It can be used in so many different ways and depending on the contents, the word ahead of it and how it's said depends on how it's used.
Speaker 3:So I find that one pretty interesting because it's almost taboo here in the us. Yes, that word like if you say that to a woman, you want, you're saying I want to be dead, I want you to kill me, exactly, and in yours it's just like you're calling your dog, your kids, your, your neighbor, your boss that word and it's like, oh, whatever that word.
Speaker 2:And it's like oh, whatever, that's a set, it's how you use it. There's still people that you probably shouldn't say that to, but it's how you use it, it's yeah.
Speaker 3:So Moose here in our chat has said they've thrown someone's head through a coffee table for calling her that word, Jesus.
Speaker 1:Christ.
Speaker 3:You're saying it to your mailbox. I was on. Oh my god, yeah, I'm not reading the last I'm not reading that comment. If you guys want to see these comments that I can't read, you're gonna have to join the the live stream sometime friday nights, 8 pm, eastern time. Yeah, which is what time australian? Nine, let's just say no because, like, we'll have daylight savings and it's going to screw everything up and everything that I know is about to go out the window in terms of time, so I don't know and, by the way, moose.
Speaker 3:That is not a defense no that is not a defense, definitely not. By the way, didn't you just call yourself a boring old mom? Because that doesn't sound none of that.
Speaker 2:So I'm just saying so I've been using some of the slangs. Yeah, that we covered the other week that you were, you were biting my me. I actually the kids said something. The kids actually said something and I'm like, oh, I know this, yeah, I know this and I, I know this. And I think I sent you a screenshot of the conversation the other day because I was like I know what the riz is and I was pumped. The kids started quizzing me on words and I started giving it back and they're like no one really says that anymore. I'm like no, I just kept it up. Anyway, the other day, my middle-aged daughter the middle one she wanted to go somewhere with a friend and then there's something going on with another child. A wife messaged me I've got all these conversations happening and the 12-year-old responded like said, oh, can I go to my friend's house? I said yeah, go for it. And she said plus aura. So I've already got this. Yeah, plus aura.
Speaker 3:Oh plus aura, oh plus aura.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I've got all these other confusing messages and problems I'm trying to fucking sort with with the family and she's responded with just plus aura and I'm like what's wrong? What's going? On I need to do the good job. What's, what's, what's aura? And she goes yeah, remember, and it took me a minute. I'm like oh, that means I'm cool, I've done something awesome. It's just like yeah, I'm like all right, don't worry, i'm'm old Like that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I, I. So I pick my. When I pick my kid up from school, sometimes when he opens the door if he has friends anywhere in the vicinity, I'm like hey, skip it, you know, because I know that's bad. It's like shut up, you know, my, my, my existence, as the kids get old enough to be embarrassed, is to embarrass them.
Speaker 2:Exactly that's exactly what we were meant to do.
Speaker 1:That's what I live for.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no. So I feel well that that I managed to live up to the hype of knowing these cool words. Yeah, my kids don't think I'm that cool.
Speaker 3:But by the time we, like you and I, start using them, they're already old and dead. Exactly like you and I start using them. They're already old and dead. Exactly that's.
Speaker 2:That's a problem that's a problem, and it's the same if, yeah, you know, the kids don't understand. So we've gone through a situation where our I love this. I'm gonna set up the story the foghorn has.
Speaker 3:Yeah foghorn's his daughter, by the way, she's she's.
Speaker 2:She's brought multiple cases for her phone over time right and of driving her to school with her friend and she's got like a sticky back thing. It's like like a ton of suction caps on the back of her phone right and it's to stick onto glass or whatever you can stick your phone on things. And I went that's cool and all, but she's stuck it on the back of her phone without a case. I'm like like that sounds stupid. You're going to break your phone. Even her friend said why didn't you just stick it on a case? Why stick it directly on the phone? She breaks her phone. Lo and behold, her phone gets broken. I think the day after of everyone saying she should be using a phone case. Obviously that is our fault, mine and my wife's fault for her breaking her phone. We're apparently the enemy.
Speaker 3:Yes, yeah.
Speaker 2:She's old enough, she's got her own job. So we suggested that she goes to one of the many mobile shops and just get the screen replaced, because you know it's $100. It's not going to cost much. We even offered to pay for it and she could pay us back when she wanted to. You know, just so she could get her phone up and going.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:We had to persevere with her attitude for days about her not having a phone and not doing things, To make it even more frustrating. She has an iPhone. She has an Apple Watch, which she brought in May with her own money because she really needed an Apple Watch.
Speaker 2:She doesn't wear it anymore so I've had to explain to if you don't have a phone, you could use a watch. You know? I mean, you used to watch to call, receive calls x. You know something? It's a screen at least. You just need your phone on to be able to use it. She didn't do that. If she did, she didn't sync the phone with the watch. It never worked properly anyway. It's just another thing that she was pissed off with us about. Eventually she turned around she goes okay, I'm gonna buy another phone. We said, okay, that's all right and she's saving for just replacing the screen yeah, and she's meant to be saving for a car.
Speaker 2:Okay, yep, and we we've. We we offered to all our kids the. The agreement is we will match, dollar for dollar, up to five thousand dollars for their first car. So if she saved five grand, we'll give her five grand. She saves ten grand, we'll give her five grand. If she saves two grand, we'll give her two grand. Yeah, she's under a thousand dollars with under six months to go. So she really isn't isn't traveling well to someone who can, actually she's not going to have a car, so she's decided to buy a 650 phone.
Speaker 3:Okay, I'm getting frustrated on your yeah yeah, yeah, we tried explaining.
Speaker 2:Why do you need it? Why does it? You know I need to buy an iphone 13 or something like that. I'm like you don't need an iphone, you can just get any phone, doesn't need to be. I showed her like pixel 7 pros for you know, 300 bucks new. You know that's a. That's a way better phone, it's a great phone. No, it has to be iphone. So obviously it's a. It's an image thing with the kids, yep, yep, yep. She's got that. Finally, her attitude changed instantly where this is, but she is now broke. Just, I don't understand the logic here.
Speaker 2:I don't try I just I couldn't understand why and she's like I'm just gonna repair this is the thing she's going to sell her switch. She doesn't want to switch, which isn't worth much because she doesn't have a dock and other things for it, and she's going to sell the watch because she does the watch that she had to have.
Speaker 2:The watch that she had to have and spend you know four or $500 on at the start of the year or in May, may. Sorry, she had to have that, so she wants to sell that, then why do? Why do you need an Apple? This is where I'm hoping you can help me here. Why do you need an iPhone if you don't like, you're not in the ecosystem, you're not heavily devoted, and she has a. I brought her a Mac book for Christmas two years ago. She hasn't even synced her phone with her Mac book. Like, isn't that the point of the Apple ecosystem is to sync it all together?
Speaker 3:She doesn't do that so bearded. I is to sync it all together. She doesn't. Yeah, do that so bearded. I'm gonna let you in on a secret.
Speaker 1:Yeah, listening to kids are stupid?
Speaker 3:yes, they just are they because, like, as they grow older, they learn a few little things and they think they know everything, but really they know shit. Like as I get. Every year I get older, I still learn new things about the way life works. Yeah, so to think that you know it all at 13, 14, 15, 16? No, the fuck, you don't no, no, it just.
Speaker 2:It just had. It just had me so frustrated, like the whole conversation about saving money, saving money, saving money, you know, don't waste your money. You know, wait until you turn 17 and you've got your car and then you can go spend, you know, 700 on 600 on a, on an expensive watch. Just put up with a cheap, just fine. Just put up with a cheap phone until then yeah, or you know another alternative.
Speaker 3:You could follow the example of our friend musosa, scientist, and perform some financial domination on people. Just take their money. You don't have to do anything, you have to touch them, you just take their money.
Speaker 2:Well okay, talking about women making money, and I know you and I have spoken about how successful streamers we would be and we would flaunt our sexuality like no tomorrow, like horribly horrible, and I'll say that it's not. It's not the smartest thing. It's just me being me, as it's personally what I would do. It's not saying that you should do it or anyone else should do it, but I saw that some twitter it was, I want to say some only fans girl has worked for three years, saved, made 67 million and is now retiring. She's done. She's closed. Her only fans, three years, 67 million. She she popped up on my twitter today and on her profile is she's just trying to do streaming regular gaming, streaming twitch stream. That's all she wants to do. So she's made all this money.
Speaker 3:Now she can just fuck around for the rest of her life trying to become a twitch streamer so like and beard, and I have said this before and I'm not, I'm not trying to disrespect women, I'm saying what I would call myself. I would be a whore? Oh, I don't, I don't, I don't have any of this way. I'm not calling anyone else that, I'm calling myself. That. That's what I would be. Yeah, I would use men like there's no tomorrow, because they're so easy.
Speaker 2:They're so stupid. They're so stupid. But you know, dad, how many men were helping this girl? 67 million in three years.
Speaker 3:That is insane. Men what is?
Speaker 2:But she's not the only one.
Speaker 3:You know what's funny? These are the same people that complain about their taxes going up by like 1%. These are the same people that complain about their taxes going up by like 1%, and yet they're giving $67 million over three years to this person.
Speaker 2:But she's not the only one. She's not the only one. There's a few girls that have done this Jumped on OnlyFans for two, three years, made millions and then closed their OnlyFans. They've made enough money to retire and live the life they want. One girl is all about outdoor fishing and adventure and hiking and doing that. She made a ton of money doing OnlyFans, close that and now she spends all her time recording natural videos about hiking and walking and it's weird. That's her passion. But she used the other side, the other industry, to make some money to fuel her passion. But she used to use the other side, the other industry that makes some money, to fuel her passion like I don't I don't even know what that is but okay, what I'm assuming?
Speaker 3:you know what you, you can figure out what I can guess I can guess what that is yeah, yeah yeah yeah, that's. That's see, like men just yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, it doesn't work the opposite way, though we're so stupid and gullible. It really works the opposite way, though you find me, you find me, it just does not. It doesn't you know why? Because women are smart. Yeah, women are smart with money. Men are not.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. I don't see women just rocking up randomly as stream decks and stupid shit like that.
Speaker 3:no, no, so of course they're not randomly giving men on only fans hundreds and hundreds of dollars. I'm sorry, we need a moment I need to brace myself for that one yeah, so I'm just reacting to a comment I just read, which again, I don't want to read this. Maybe if we ever do like a dad mode after dark, we'll have moose like on discord and just going nuts, no, no, nuts, no pun intended.
Speaker 2:She is 100, the female reincarnation of my friend sean. Yes, those two could never make it it, would it, it would.
Speaker 3:We'd just be like welcome to the show, moose, take it away. Yeah, like really, I mean that's what those are.
Speaker 2:Originally I wanted to do a gaming podcast called dads anagram, now dads, which was dads after dark show, yeah, yeah, but it just all the names were taken, so they kind of just out the window.
Speaker 3:Out the window there yep, by the way, did I ever tell you that right before we started this podcast, I was about to start a podcast with somebody else? Yes, they had reached out to me on stream. We had a discord call for like an hour or two to see if, like, there was any kind of like, you know whatever the word is. But it's like, yeah, and then we're getting ready. We came up with a name, he drew a logo and getting ready to do it, and then he just disappeared that's what I think, and every now and then I hope that he sees that dad mode still exists and is going strong after a year and he's like, oh I, I fucked up well, that's that's.
Speaker 2:I do remember that was that's what you were heading towards. And then, at the same time, yeah, you know we, we had contemplated doing content but never did. And it's like how does this work? And then it's like, actually it does work pretty easy. We can make this work really simple. It wasn't. It wasn't too hard to make this happen yes, thank you for the word moose.
Speaker 3:See, that's what I said. Moose said the word I was looking for is chemistry and like when I said men are dumb and women are not. That's there you go. Yeah, I'll get work. It's funny like I'll be in a meeting and female peer says something brilliant and all the male leadership just ignores her, and then I'll say something ignorant and stupid, like that's a great idea and I'm like she just said something different, but smarter. Yeah, you know, you can't, it's, it's insane. I I feel for you women out there you've been listening to dad mode.
Speaker 1:our passion is navigating this wild journey of parenthood and modern life, from balancing family time to managing your career and still squeezing in some gaming and content creation. And no matter what the women say, they will never be able to pry the controller out of our cold dead hands. Anyway, we hope you enjoyed the show.
