I'm quitting alcohol. So as my daughter's birthday party today, that's it. It's fucking done. It's dusted. It's over for another fucking year. Man, I tell you what? I tell you what fucking does me not in. Fucking these other little, country kids that aren't disciplined and they just start running a fucking mark and then they come into my fucking house and they think they can run that game with the boil. I don't fucking think so. The last few days my son's been bringing kids home to play with because he thinks it's a loophole. He brings a kid over and he comes to me and he's like, oh, fucking, this little cunt wants

a snack. A snack mean in like ice cream or some shit like that. And I'm more likely to say yes when there's some other little cunt in here, but he bought two friends over two days in a row. And the problem is these little fucking cunts do come over and go, I feel like some fucking skittles. Can you ask your dad for some skittles? And I'm like, get out of here. Now I'm just like, get out of here. Get outside. My son will come in and say, oh, fucking, what's his name? Fucking wants to play a video game. I'm like, if you two don't get the fuck outside, like now, I'm going to fucking smash your heads in the door. You want to be the parent that the other kids, when they come over, they're fucking scared of. If you're not going to get disciplined at your house, you're coming to my house and you're

going to get fucking disciplined and you're going to shut the fuck up. They leave pretty quickly. And I had to tell my son, I'm like, look, I don't give a fuck about your stupid friends. I didn't say fuck them like, look, I don't give a shit about your stupid friends. If you think you're going to bring them over and some loophole that you're going to get some fucking lollies or do whatever the fuck you want because you're fucking friends here, you're out of your god damn mind. And then today it was my daughter's party and the same thing. These little fucking runs are running around like they've fucking owned the joint. I'm like, hey, you can speak to your fucking parents like that. But no, not here, not in my house. You're not coming over and starting to run your mouth in my house. So you have to fucking pretty much discipline these other fuckers as well. No one's getting disciplined. Everyone's talking back, everyone, even the Muslim kids. They're fucking speaking back to their parents.

They wouldn't be fucking speaking back to their parents and fucking it was Beckett's star or fucking Algeria or Kazakhstan or that'll be getting a fucking good old slap across the fucking head. Anyway, it was a beautiful birthday party. All the parents. Oh, fucking hell. It's always like this. It was like this in Australia. It's like that here. It's like it in fucking India. Parents with the fucking light touch, which I understand because it's the easiest thing to do in the moment. But it's going to cause big problems in the long run. I can tell you that right now. There's only one parent that I really enjoy and that's the Chinese mom. She is on it. She doesn't give a fuck. I even pulled her aside. I was like, I really enjoy the way you parent. She's like, I don't give a fuck. If they don't do what they're fucking told, they've got me to deal with.

And I'm like, yeah, that would be. That's a lot. I'd be listening to anyway. It was nice. And then we came home. I tell you what, fucking, I don't know. It just popped into my head, but I fucking came home and the kids, they were still light amped up from the party. So I had to bring them down and I was like, all right, you can watch a movie, but I'm choosing it. And I fucking just thought about Milo and Otis. Remember that fucking movie? I watched it like a thousand times when I was a kid. Milo and fucking Otis, the Runger cat and the fucking pug. And so I fucking got it. And it's a Japanese movie. I thought it was, well, I didn't think much when I was a kid, but it's an English guy narrating it, but everyone who made it is Japanese. It's Japanese movie. And it was made in 1986. So it was made when I was two. It's coming up on 40 years old.

It is 40 years old and it holds up so fucking hard. It's still so fucking good. The story's great. It's funny. If you have kids, young kids, you've got to get them to watch Milo and Otis early. Don't let them watch anything, fucking, it's like cars. Don't let them watch anything like pre 2010. No, I would even go early. I wouldn't even let fucking kids watch anything while I do. But if I was more on it, I wouldn't let kids watch anything pre 2000. 4. Except Bluey. Bluey's good. And what else is good? Poor patrol was alright as well. There was something else I forget what it was. But Milo and Otis, fucking water story. I don't know how much animal cruelty went into it because they've got like a pug fighting

a bear. I don't know how those fucking cheeky Japanese got the pug to fight a bear but they pulled it off and they've got the pug in the snow. If you look past how they got these animals to do it, it's such a beautiful story. Milo and fucking Otis. I remember when I was a kid, everyone watched that movie. It was one of those movies that everyone knew about everyone watched. It was on TV all the time. On a Saturday, a random Saturday when you're a kid you'd flick on the TV and it'd be halfway through Milo and Otis. So get on that, it's a fucking heartwarming, funny story and it still holds up. Anyway, fucking, that'll do it. Now I'll fucking do it for tonight and I'll see you in the far light.
