| 0:00.0 | My name's Sharzad Kiade. I'm a Gemini Pescatarian, a mom of two wild little boys. I'm Susan Yara. I'm a mom of two also. This morning, I went to the bathroom alone. I woke up at five, put my boob in her mouth, and then she took a dump because that's what she uses me for. That's what you're going to hear a lot of our stories and experiences and our crazy journeys to motherhood. |
| 0:21.1 | It's fam for all moms. |
| 0:22.9 | Not for all dads. |
| 0:24.1 | Not fathers and moms. |
| 0:25.6 | For all moms. |
| 0:26.5 | It's going to be good all time. |
| 0:27.4 | You guys are going to want to stick around. |
| 0:28.5 | Promise. |
| 0:29.0 | So subscribe. |
| 0:53.0 | Yeah. Well, France are through to the World Cup final. They beat Belgium 1-0. I'm sure all of you have seen the game. |
| 1:11.3 | Let's chat about France first, Alex, then, as the successors, the progressors, the winners, far less in terms of possession, but far more in terms of shots. So how did this game pan out for you, do you think? Because throughout the first half, they had a real spell of pressure, |

| 1:46.3 | Yeah. France managed to settle a bit and then actually started to assert a bit more kind of |
| 1:50.1 | attacking prowess into the game and playing some amazing football as well. |
| 1:54.2 | Yeah, a lot of it was nice. This game had the feel of the big game, didn't it, in that there |

I think, yeah, I mean, I think there are probably three contenders for a man of the match for France for me. Larisse did have an excellent game, very, very confident.
