Bali Nannys & The Hunt For A Cold Bintang

This week on the Blokethings Podcast, Shane & Dean are back to unpack the absolute carnage of family obligations. We’re diving deep into the realities of taking the kids to Bali—from the hunt for a Bintang that isn't bathwater-warm, to offloading the kids to the au pair, to surviving the absolute stitch-up that is the indoor go-kart fast lane. Then, we pivot back to WA for a Mother's Day lunch in Forrestfield that nearly ended in a brawl thanks to an overbooked restaurant and one incredibly obnoxious bloke. Grab a cold one (preferably not $22) and rip in.In This Episode, We Cover:Kids Being Kids: The joys of parenthood, including why the backyard is fair game but the kindy lawn is not.The Bali Survival Guide: Tackling the airport run, the truth about the Hard Rock Hotel, and why a digital au pair (an iPad) is a parent's best friend.Food Fails & Wins: Overcooked brisket at the "Fork", the glory of a perfect steak at Yellowstone, and why Bali KFC just hits different.The Bintang Index: The eternal struggle of finding a frosty beer in Kuta without paying resort prices, and the absolute beauty of a $2.50 bucket beer at Blue Lagoon.Mother’s Day Carnage: Navigating a crammed Italian restaurant in Forrestfield, putting up with whinging diners, and planning a tactical retreat from family functions.Bike Banter: Wrapping up with some thoughts on brand loyalty and why a new Indian motorcycle might just be an "electric bike."Here are a few quote options pulled straight from the episode, They perfectly capture the banter, chaos, and absolute frustration of the stories:"You can't control them at your house... How do you think you're gonna control them on a plane? That's why I had zap collars on them.""Let's take the kids to go and get them used to Bali and dump them on someone else's lap. That's what you did. Gun good story.""He can't [swim]. He thinks he can, but he can't, he can drown. He can sink really well. She's a fish, he's a boat anchor.""I knew that I was gonna be on Bintang... so the fucking diet's going out the window. No fucks given.""You got to accept Bali for what it is... It's tropical, you can have some fucking cold beers and be fucking cheap.""I've got a list of places I want to try barbecue... Come out, it was fucking dog shit. All overcooked... I was like fucking over it.""Probably one of the highlights of Bali... was fucking bomb like proper. Proper like it used to be. Crispy fucking KFC.""Read the room you fuckhead... I don't think you understand, like this guy's ruining everyone else's day in the whole place... Why can't I do it back to him?""Don't be a fucking miserable cunt, ruin the whole fucking place's Mother's Day. They're doing their best. They're overbooked. They didn't choose that.""You know what the worst part is? He's done the brand recognition. Guess what shirt he had on? An Indian t-shirt... If you're listening, your wife would be much happier if you ride a Harley, mate. Not an electric bike."
