On July 17th, 2017, Australia‘s cutest family brought another sweet child into this world and our lives: Rudy Hazel Blake, precious bub at large.
But this momentous occasion was nearly missed by her dad Hamish Blake, who told his radio co-host Andy Lee yesterday that he really, really had to take a shit right at the critical moment.
He explains:
“You can’t do it in the room because the door opens straight into the delivery suite, but you go down the hallway, there’s no toilets because everyone has a toilet in their room.
“So I was like do I run off into this hospital blind, hoping to find a toilet but be present and clear headed for the birth of my daughter, or do I hold it and always remember the moment where I’m like ‘she’s great but I’m distracted, when can I put her down?’”
In the end, though, he risked it all for a peaceful dump, and managed to make it back in time.
“I chanced it, I got back,” he said.
But after that, he ruined wife Zoë Foster-Blake‘s painkilling gas with his dumb eating habits. RUINED IT. Ruined thing that was keeping her from feeling pain. In punishment he should be forced to piss out a kidney stone once a year, on Rudy’s birthday.
Basically: he’d returned to the birthing suite with minestrone soup, and Zoë had just been given the gas. Hamish decided to “have a go” on it, but accidentally got some soup in the mouthpiece.
“[Zoë] popped it in her mouth then spat it out again and goes ‘what have you eaten?’” he said. Zoë didn’t want it after that.
Hamish… the face of a monster.
