Hi, guys, and welcome back to another episode of Life.
I'm Cut, I'm Laura, I'm Brittany, and.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
This is the pick up radio show. If you are
joining us for the very first time, this is all
the best bits from radio this week from our national
radio show, and it is put here in case you
don't listen to the radio.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
You had a pretty special little week this week.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Laura, Well, I don't even remember if I spoke about
this on our other episodes.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Did Yeah, I don't have a memory anymore.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
You guys are across this. I can't remember anything I
do in my day to day.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
Yeah, it's been quite the journey for except the pregnancy.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Hormones have really fucked up my baby brain.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Laura comes into Actually, guys, guys, I'm going to tell
you this story. On the podcast to day We're like
you told us yesterday.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Every day producer Grace is laughing.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
I will literally get so deep in a story and
everyone's just looking at me like, are you no.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
We never want to interrupt you and tell you that you.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Don't mention you're treating me like I'm a dementia patient.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
You're like cute you play along?

Speaker 3 (00:59):
We do.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
I had this one person message me and she was like,
I just want to say and she said it as
though it wasn't coming to me directly. I think she
meant to send it to laugh funk up, but she
just sent it to my dms. She was like, Laura,
repeating stories is getting ridiculous, and I was like, do
you speaking to people in third person when I'm right
here is weird?

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Or did you see that? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Oh, we were all trying to not let.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
You see it.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
It's not our reviews, but it also no, they fucking
DM me as well.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
They dmmed everyone. I was like, shut up, Sally.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
I was like everyone, no, one, let Laura see this.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Doray, guys have forgot about.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
It, like you are like Dorry, right, guys.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Pregnancy almos are hard. I don't get a lot of sleep.
I got two kids and wearning three businesses.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
And we haven't actually said what the story was yet.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
I can't even remember what anniversary.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Oh sorry, sorry, that's what I was going to tell
you about last weekend on Sunday. It was mine and
Matt's eight year bachelor anniversary.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Do you remember who Matt is?

Speaker 2 (01:55):
That's my husband I married him.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
We have so many anniversaries because we have the anniversary
of when we met when he was still hooking up
with twenty four other women. Cute love that for me.
Then we had the anniversary of when the show ended
and he asked me to be his girlfriend in a
very dramatic way. And then we have the anniversary of
when it aired on TV, which is like six months later.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
I have a bangniversary when I banged my husband for
the first time because I thought I'd never see him again.
Then I have the anniversary we got together. Then I
have our engagement, and then I had two weddings so
I could also like pick whatever I want to do.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, when you've gotten married, do all other anniversaries go
by the wayside? Because I've only been married for like
three years in November, but by February we've actually been
together for nine years, and I feel like, why am
I going to negate the other six years of my life?

Speaker 3 (02:38):
People start again. People take a wedding anniversary like you
can still you still have it, like, oh, this is
the day we got together. But people start, which sucks.
People start their counting from their wedding.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Maybe I should just start ours when we got exclusive
and he stopped making out with other women.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
I'm going to pick my anniversary off the better date
because I had two weddings. I was like, which date
is going to be more memory and it's actually my
second one. That's true because it's like five six two five.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Oh okay, so you're just doing it so that you
can remember the date. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Literally, Sorry when you said the date is more memorable
and thought you meant like the time you spent with him.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Was more memorable.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
That's it, Grace got it.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
Five.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
It's so memorable. But we all okay.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
When I said it, I was like, I don't think
that's it, but no one's going to pick up on it. Yeah,
it's that's why.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
That's better twenty five.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
Don't let Ben hear this twenty five six, twenty five because.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
It's half Christmas. Great, well done, Brittany. Every year anyway, Look, the.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Thing we covered on the show not just wasn't just
the anniversary. We had a little walk down memory lane.
You know, it's a nice thing when you meet your
husband a reality TV show, you've got video and audio
evidence that it actually happened. It's Ben Ben watches and
listens to everything right from Italy, and he didn't really
know the Bachelor universe, like he's never watched the show before.
Thank god, it's why he actually wanted to date you. You

(03:56):
had to find a foreigner.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
No, he googled it. He knew, but he hasn't. He
doesn't know what it's like. So he's never witnessed the
deliveries and stuff, and he watched it. I guess I
watched them.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Laura and Matt's like.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
Moment in the finale and I said, oh, yeah, he guys.
It was hard to watch. It's like it was had.
I was like, yeah, that's those sound of things. Don't
age well, I said, but it was very normal at
the time, Like you're just so in it, and it's like,
it's what it's less.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
You've got to do the dance, lots of heavy breathing,
drag it out spring for me.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
You whisper spoke, Okay, anyway, that's okay.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
What happened, old Jack?

Speaker 3 (04:31):
It was giving Titanic.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, it tays me.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
I got dumb.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
So that's why IM paying you out whatever. No, we
talk about some other things on the podcast this week.
We're talking about dog fishing, which is a new term.
You guys might have heard of catfishing, you haven't heard
of dog fishing.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Dog fishing is particularly different to catfishing. It just more
has to do with fishing on Tinder. What else did
we talk about, Grace, No one remembers forgot your.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Rock skimming championships?

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Oh damn for all right?

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Anyway, guys, there's so much more on this show. Or
skip ahead, listen to another episode, go for.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Gold, Britt.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yesterday, it was a very big day in my relationship
with my husband Matt. It was at eight year anniversary,
but not your typical anniversary. So we have a couple
of anniversaries because when we met. For anyone who doesn't know,
I met my husband on the twenty seventeen Bachelor.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
You know the Bachelor.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Yeah, he was the Bachelor and I was a contestant
and we met on that show fell in love whilst
he was dating twenty four other women. Conventional, So Roman,
isn't it, I know.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
Did you only have twenty four? I had thirty women?
There was thirty women on your season, which makes it
more impressive that I got to the end.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
That had less shoes, had less choice. That's probably why
I want to be honest. No, So we have got
quite a few anniversaries.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
We've got the when we first met anniversary, except we
can't really celebrate that because he was dating twenty four
other women. Then we have when he chose me in Thailand,
so that was in May, like that's when the filming
end and we actually decided to be together.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
I choose I choose you, and then he had to We.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Had to keep it quiet for five months. We had
to keep a secret about our relationship.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
So you have a public anniversary as well.

Speaker 5 (06:10):
Well.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
We used to sneak around so like me and wigs
and him wearing like weird trench coats stuff that you
were umbrella. Yes, the Channel ten made me. I had
to sneak around in outfits. The reason why they do
this just to give you a peek behind the curtain
is because they don't want perhaps.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
To get photos of you. So we had to sneak
around for five months.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
But yesterday was eight years since our finale episode played
out across the country.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
If you congrats have your anniversary, yay.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
I don't know. It's for me.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
It feels so weird to watch it back because I think, firstly,
we have so much college, and we look so young. Secondly,
we look so awkward. It's like we barely know each other.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Well, you don't know each other. But speaking of how
uncomfortable you are to walk down memory lane, Producer Grace
and I took it upon ourselves to go and get
that final moment, and we want to play it for
you all right now.

Speaker 6 (07:03):
You look stunning.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
Thank you.

Speaker 6 (07:08):
I didn't really know what to expect, really when I
decided to come back here. I didn't know if it
would be difficult to fall in love again, and I
didn't even know if anybody would fall in love with me.
The only thing I was certain of was what kind
of woman I wanted to meet. Somebody who was really intelligent,

(07:32):
somebody who was confident and ambitious they wouldn't be afraid
to chase their dreams, and somebody who was fearless enough
to go on any adventure, even if it meant trying
to fall in love with a guy who was dating
twenty one women.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
It's okay, whatever difference.

Speaker 7 (07:51):
Okay, I've replayed this moment in my mind so many
times and it's really hard to close get the right
words out.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
Just God, if you're going to do it, and do
it at this point every single.

Speaker 6 (08:10):
Day, Laura, I love you.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Oh hang on, no context.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
I had been told by producers that day that he
was not going to choose me, so I walked into
the finale.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
Can they actually tell you that, because they usually just
let you believe it with things that they say, but
they never usually say it.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
So they said, today is not going to go the
way that you expect it to, and just prepare to
accept it with.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
Dignity and grace. There is no other way to interpret that.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
I went in there thinking it was going to be
a fun, silly experience, and then I did actually have
feelings for him, and I felt so stupid. I was like,
I've just humiliated myself on national TV for this guy
who's now gonna run away with the other girl anyway, So.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
I wanted to talking to me about humiliations. Just to
know your audience, Laura, I was the first person to
win a Bachelor not win any.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
At least he didn't choose anyone on your Bachelors season,
which I feel like it is better.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
I think it's fine. Solidarity in numbers. I think it's fine.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
She's about to have a third baby to the Bachelor
So I walked up there really expecting him to say
no because I had been led.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
And you know why, because they get a really great reaction.
If you walked up there all cocky and confident, you'd
be like, yeah, I know you're gonna.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Say yes, and I'm so happy.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah, and it just wouldn't have that dramatic effect.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
So is that why you were whispering for the dramatic effect?
Your whole thing was.

Speaker 5 (09:34):
Like, just.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Okay, that's my no.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
We were in a very close proximity to each other,
we were talking normal anyway, and he really dragged it
out by so many deep sigh breasts. I thought he
was delivering a shit sandwich. And then when he said it,
I didn't know, Like I really had this just huge
emotional whiplash. Anyway, eight years ago today, and then we
watched that on TV and we thought it was going
to be the best moment of our lives.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
But then the online trolling came and so we sat
there and cried and we went to sleep. It was
a miserable night. Okay, hang on, we're happy now.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
Third kid, I want to give you a pick me
up that moment. You might not know, but that changed
people's lives, Laura.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
And changed my life.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Oh be honest, the whisper, let me just repeat it.
You're that's okay, what happens.

Speaker 6 (10:26):
It's okay.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Just if you're going to do it, do it now.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
No, that particular moment, because we have someone that actually
wrote in Kate Miller bespoke, who said, quote.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Whatever it is, it's okay.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
And then she said, this moment changed my life.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
Laura.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
I'm not even joking. I loved the way you said
that to him. I understood it in that second that
this was real and not just TV, and that you
just wanted him to be happy and fulfilled, even if
it wasn't with you. You helped me understand true love and
it has changed the way that I love. So that
that whisper has changed people's lives.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
Okay, that is very very sweet. I don't feel like
I did anything groundbreaking. I think I was just trying
to hold it together on national TV and not make
a total tit on myself.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
Anyway, We're happy for you. Happy eight year. It's kind
of nice Reality TV.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Under eight years, locked and loaded and about to go
into having baby number three.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
It really did change my life. Cape bespoke. It certainly did.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Now there's been a bit of a trend recently of
like very wealthy celebrities or entrepreneurs talking about how they're
not going to leave any of their inheritance to their children.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
That's not a trend. I want to personally be a
part of.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
You want your parents to leave all of that. If
they were to be super famous, super wealthy, you would
expect at least a bit of a kickback, some.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Little some little sweetener, like a drip feet every year,
like you don't know what's coming. But then power like
a couple of Hundy.

Speaker 5 (11:48):
Well.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Gordon ramsay, he's like the newest person to join the
ranks of this. So he recently he's worth six hundred
and ten million pound is kind of his estimated network.
That's like one point too billion, is it?

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah, so the mass is not the mass. Ain't maths
in today.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
But no, look, he's not going to leave anything to
his kids. He doesn't want to spoil them. The only
thing that he has agreed to leave with his wife, Tana,
is that that kids are going to get a twenty
five percent deposit on a flat, not the whole flat,
just to deposit for the flat because he doesn't want
them to grow up thinking that they don't need to
work hard and build a life for themselves like he

(12:24):
had to do. I have a theory. I don't believe it.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
All of these billionaires that are saying they're leaving nothing
to their kids, I do not believe it. I think
they have secret squirrel money. They've got everything set up.
They're going to be left houses, they're never going to
have to worry. But I think a public facing it
makes them sound better, and it makes it sound like
whatever the kids do, they're doing it for the right reason,
whatever else. And I think maybe he lets the kids

(12:49):
believe that so that they are hustling for themselves and
then they'll get it like a death bonus.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
So okay, you think that they're saying this so that
way the kids don't grow up thinking that they're on
the silver spoon and they have to hustle.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
And yes, and it makes them look better publicly, Like
it seems to be this thing where anyone that's a
billionaire that leaves all their money to someone else, people
are cool. You should be giving that to charities. And
I think it's for a public facing pr kind of thing.
And I do think it's so that those kids don't
know what's coming and they do work hard for something.
You know what I mean? If your dad had a
billion dollars and all he gave you in this current

(13:23):
financial climate was a twenty percent to posit on a
flat like what I mean?

Speaker 1 (13:27):
I actually think you're probably onto it, brit The whole
resilience building.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
It's hard enough to build.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Resilience in kids these days, let alone build resilience when
they grow up knowing that they are so ultra wealthy
that they don't have to do anything.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
Or work for it.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
But imagine the resentment Laura, that they would feel for
their dad for the rest of their life if they
knew that he could have helped make their life easy
and he didn't. Like when he passed, You'd be like
if you dad, sorry. If your parents were billionaires and
they left you nothing and then passed away and they're like, haha,
I gave it away, you'd.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Be like, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
I also don't think that you're just entired to your parents'
inheritance just because they're your parents. I like, if they
want to do it, it's like no. But if they
the only reason why. I think maybe Gordon Ramsay might
be slightly different.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
So he travels first class when he flies.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
He's got six kids, He's got a lot of kids
to split the love between. But when he travels and
flies internationally or flies anywhere, really, he travels first class.
He puts his kids in economy and he says this,
I do not want them to be sat there with
a ten course effing menu with champagne.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
I am not embarrassed.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
It is my wife an I's choice to discipline them
and to keep them real.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
He literally puts them in.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Economy and he will fly first class and says see later,
children for joy.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
I think that's fine, and I think that is resilience building.
Like I think they're the things that are okay. But
not leaving your kids anything when you have that much
money is crazy. It's why I don't believe it.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
But it's been a real thing. I think a lot
of people have been talking about it lately. A lot
of celebrities have come forward and said this. Warren Buffett,
Ashton Kutcher, Millerkunas have said that they're not going to
leave anything to their kids. Elton, John Daniel Craig, Bill Gates,
Mark Zuckerberg.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
I mean, imagine your dad being Mark Zuckerberg and.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Him coming out and saying he's going to donate his
entire wealth to charity, nothing to the children.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
It is interesting.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
I just don't believe nothing to the kids means not
even like have roof over their head or anything, like
I think when you're a billionaire, nothing is the tenliine
Yes is like the one hundred million because they can
They could lose a hundred million dollars cash down the
drain and wouldn't touch them.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Well, Gordon, if you want to give it to someone else,
you can always give it to me.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
We're just putting that out there.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
That sponsored the pickup Laura. There's a lot of things
that people are supposed to be looking out for in
the dating world, like a lot of red flags flapping
about in the wind.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Narcissus it's the one that always pops up.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
Double life, yep, cheating people that don't want to share food,
like Pans.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
That's another one that was one that I feel like
I came in contact with quite a lot. Peter Pans,
the type of people who just never really want to
settle down and they think they're twenty by their forty.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
Well there's also there's like catfishing, you know the term
cat fishing, somebody pretending to be something that they're not.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Or someone that they're not.

Speaker 3 (16:02):
Yeah, and then there was this trend of people being
really turned off on dating apps by people that had
like fish in their profile pictures. You remember, like every
guy went through a phase of like they caught their
fish and they thought that was a turn on, and
every woman was like instant no.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yeah, I don't know where it came from. Fish became
the shirtless photo. So like for a while there, it's
like Jim Bros. Would post photos with themselves without shirts on,
and then on the flip side of that, it's men
holding up fish.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
Okay, now the one it's now called dog fishing. Now
what's a dog fish? I'm going to tell you, but
I don't know how I feel about it yet. I
do want to unpack it. So dog fishing people are
now sick to death of men, and it is mainly men,
Like this is one sided for this conversation, but it's
men that have dogs in their photos, Like they've replaced

(16:49):
the fish with a dog, but the dog's not theirs,
so they're dog fishing you because it's cute, it's wholesome.
It's like, look, how much better I look with a
little puppy on my shirtless photo gives a reason to
be at the beach with his shirt off or whatever.
So people are now getting really mad and calling them
out like it's a red flag, like if they're pretending
that dog is theirs, like that is a no.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
I don't think people are getting mad.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
There is a reddit thread that is dog free dating
subreddit thread how can you filter out people online so
that anyone with a dog doesn't come up? Like people
are mad?

Speaker 1 (17:19):
I feel like this about men who have photos with kids,
but they're not their kids. So if they're an uncle,
it's their niece or nephew, and it's just like them
with a cute baby photo and then they'll say and
then they'll say directly underneath, like not my child.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
The thing is though, it's like fun uncle that.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Like women don't seem to do that, Like we don't
post photos with other people's babies because.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
That's not a turn on for men.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
So like we don't have in our dating profiles, we
don't have photos of us with the babies, whereas like
guys do, and I think it's the same effect, the
puppy effect and the baby effect.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
It's the same thing.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
It makes us think that they're nurturing and caring and
soft and empathetic.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
And I from personal experience, I have been sucked into
hot dog man.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
I know you are.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
I don't know you have been, brit But isn't that
the only the reason why you got Delilah?

Speaker 2 (18:02):
At the start you were like, no, you got Delilah
with your ex boyfriend.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
Well, rubbing my heart, but the.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
Amount of times that you've said that she's coming very
advantageous down on the dog walk boulevard.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
I didn't have a lot of lock in dating. And
when I say that was like I didn't usually get
hit on by a lot of people. There wasn't a
lot of interest, you know. Maybe that was with the
back of the Bachelor, I don't know. But I got
to my dog Delilah with my partner at the time,
and then we broke up when I was out pumping
that well, I was gonna say pump in the pavement
when I was when I was pumping the pavement with Delilah,

(18:37):
my dog, it's such a conversation start and somebody just
looks more like appealing, more open to conversation. But you
probably maybe this, Laura, because you and I have been
on quite the dating journey the last six seven years.
But there was this guy that I got sucked into
his vortex because I knew nothing about him other than
he had a dog and I'd seen him with his

(18:57):
shirt off and I was like, it's the puppy for me,
and I ended up like tracking him down on the
promenade one day with his dog. The dog was the
convo start and then bam, thank you man.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
It's because it's an easy in if someone has a dog,
it's an easy thing to spark a conversation about. But
the person that you're specifically referring to, brit we coined
him hot dog Man, not hot dogs in the dog
you Eat.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
But he was hot, he had a dog, and he
was a man.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
And he also was on the Instagram page, which I
think it still exists, Grace, do you remember it?

Speaker 3 (19:27):
It was hot Dudes with Dogs, Hot.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
Dudes with Dogs.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
I was actually looking for it this morning and could
not find it. Okay, so it might have maybe it's
been shut down that it used to be. Did you
shut down hot guys and Dogs. It was Hot Dudes
and Dogs or hot Guys and Dogs, and it is
literally just an Instagram account that's dedicated to people in Australia,
men in Australia.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
It was worldwide.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Oh well world wie, there we go international, and it
was just photos of very very attractive men with dogs.
And this guy that Brittany ended up dating for a
very short period of time.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
Was on that Instagram site.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
And I'm pretty sure that that's how you tracked him down,
brit But.

Speaker 3 (19:59):
You want to know the part that I feel bad
saying this, right because the reason I follow Hot Dudes
with Dogs the Instagram right because I like to look
at dogs and hot men used to be a favorite pastime,
so sue me. Anyway, he got fed into my feed
one day and I was like, oh my god, that
is the guy that is on the promenade. But the
thing that would like put me off was that for

(20:20):
him to get featured on that page, he had to
tag himself on Hot deals with Dogs and that's and
that was the part for me where I was like, man,
do I still do it?

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Obviously you did, Yeah, you did, you did. It was
a touchy point.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
Look, people can be outraged by it all they like
in the Reddit threads, it clearly works. Men who have
dogs are more attractive, Men who pose with dogs are
more attractive.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
We like dogs, you know what I think?

Speaker 3 (20:44):
Though. The thing is, you have too many things to
worry about in the dating world already. Let's not add
a man with a dog to it. Like, if you
are filtering through your dating apps and you think that's
a red flag, I think he's probably gonna be alone forever.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Well, if you can't deal with the men who have fish,
men who have dogs, men who have no shirts, and
men who are posing with other people's children.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
There's not many men left. That's all the men.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
You don't, Laura, this might go a little bit rogue.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
Would you say it's radio gone rouge.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
Yeah, let's call it radio gon rogue. I just want
to talk to you about something that we haven't prepared
and you haven't seen or watched or know nothing about.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
Oh God, I love how proch we are for this.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
It's my show, so I get to decide what I
want to talk about. And this has been eating me
up alive. I know there are so many women in
the car right now that feel exactly the same way.
I feel I need to talk about the finale this
evening of the Summer I Turned Pretty?

Speaker 2 (21:34):
So what is the show? Why are people obsessed with it?

Speaker 3 (21:36):
I don't get it, So I am really late to
the party. So this is it's called The Summer Turned Pretty.
There's three seasons and it started I think in twenty
twenty one, like it's been around for quite a while.
But season three, which will be the wrap of this series,
I don't foresee coming back. This is the end. I
have seen it over the years, all this hype, and
I always knew it was like this teenage love kind

(21:57):
of vibe, so I never clicked on it, you know
when like you go online and you see it pops
up like I suggest this it's number one. I was like, oh,
teenagers love thory? Yeah, like for kids?

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Who is actually four?

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Because you've been telling me that the people who are
watching it are not kids, it's people our age.

Speaker 3 (22:10):
Oh, I think the biggest demo is mid to early
to late thirties, which is our demo thirties, forties, fifties.
I'm getting like so many messages from people because I'm
talking about it a lot on Instagram, So I watched
a couple of episodes of season one. I was like,
let me see what the fuss is about. I ran
out of things to watch, and I am hooked. It
is the cringiest thing you've ever seen. Like they're sixteen

(22:31):
years old and it's like this love trying. I'm not
going to give too much away, but nothing. You don't know.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
It's nothing about me being almost forty that makes me
want to watch sixteen year olds falling in love.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
Laura, that's just does it. It's like watching Dawson's.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
Creek again, famous last words, And I think that that's
the thing.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Right.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
So I've been trying to work out why as women
in thirties, forties and fifties, we're so obsessed because this
is like it's a phenomenon. You need to watch it
just so we can talk about it. But I think
that's what it is. I think it's taking us back
to like those early two thousand's moments when we were
in the thick of it, like the Dawson's Creek.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
The nostalgia.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Yeah, I think it's like taking.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
Us back the nostalgia. And I don't know, it's do.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
You remember the OC Yes, it's that I loved the OC,
but this is mister Barton.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
I wanted to be her.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
No, this is more innocent than that, Like you know,
on the OC, they were like pretty naughty, and this
is like so wholesome. I've never seen anything where I'm
like cringing, crying and laughing, wanting to turn off, but
not being able to stop watching like all at the
same time.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Maybe this has because I feel like a lot of
shows these days have been made for kids, but also
they're palatable for adults. And I say this because my
kids are currently obsessed with K Pop Demon Hunters.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
I'm talking obsessed, like it is another level.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Morley May had to do a speech at school impromptu
not impromptuy, sorry, but like pick any topic prompt you
she's five, They're like ad lib.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
No, she did have to do an impromptu speech.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
It's part of her public speaking competition, but that this
one wasn't the impromptu speech. The impromptu one was what
is better playing outside or inside?

Speaker 2 (23:56):
So she got to pick anything.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
What did she pick outside? She said outside plays anyway,
So she chose why K Pop Demon Hunters is the
best movie of all time and at the first seven.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Times the kids watched it I was like, oh, God
needs to go again.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
That's like the equivalent of going to karaokeing trying to
see Whitney Houston.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
It is very it's.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
Very full on.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
But now like the kids aren't in the car and
I'm pumping Golden because I'm into it. So we're playing
it on the radio at the moment, like it's taken over.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
It's exactly the same thing. Now, I have never seen
Capop Demon.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
Hunter brit That's the number one most downloaded, downloaded and
watched Netflix show ever created.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
Yeah, well this is the number one TV show, So
I'll watch that if you watch this. But I need
someone to talk about it with, which is why I'm
talking about it to no one right now on radio,
like I need you to be able to contribute to
the conversation.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Well, I mean, I think you're right and saying it
probably taps into nostalgia, like it taps into like the
childhood moments of like everyone remembers their first love, everyone
remembers those complex feelings around navigating relationships when you're in
your early teens and twenties and whatever it is.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
I reckon that the summer return pretty has a bigger
demo that are in their late late twenties, thirties, forties,
then they do of kids the same age, because I
reckon teenagers would watch it and not relate because I
think it's cringey, Like I think the teenagers now are
so grown up and so cool.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
This is based on nothing.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
It's just calling us millennial losers who want to watch it.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
Yeah I am, I am.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
You're doing nothing for the cause, Bridge.

Speaker 3 (25:15):
But anyway, the last thing I want to say, because
the final is tonight, so everyone's on the edge of
their seat.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
No one knows what you're talking about.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
Everyone knows, Laura, only you don't know. But it's like
down to two people, so it's always are you team
Conrad or Tim Jeremiah, and like you have to pick
your team and the world is divided and that's why
it's so good. Okay, I'll leave, Okay, I'll stop.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
I was scrolling on Instagram yesterday and I came across
something that made me absolutely irate, and within five minutes
of me seeing it, News dot Com had also then
written an article about it.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
Yeah, I was gonna say, I don't think I was
just scrolling Instagram. It's everywhere no.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
It is now. It is now, But when I saw
it early in the day, it spread like wildfire online.
Basically just bring you up speed if you haven't seen this.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
There's a doctor.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
Her name is doctor Turner, and she posted from the airport.
She had been in the Virgin Lounge, the Virgin Business Lounge,
and she had very discreetly put a breast pump underneath
her shirt and she was expressing milk while she was
sitting in the lounge. Now we've got some audio which
is what she posted around how she was asked by
the business lounge manager to leave because it was making

(26:25):
people uncomfortable. Have listen to this, So this is.

Speaker 8 (26:27):
Pretty unbelievable, and I'm beyond furious right now. But I've
been told that I can't sit here in the Virgin
Lounge as a paying business class ticker polder to express
breast milk that sits under my shirt like this, because
this is a private business lounge and we don't.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
Do that here.

Speaker 8 (26:47):
So I've been told by the manager and that I
must go and sit.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
In a bathroom in a toilet.

Speaker 8 (26:53):
So I did ask her, do you prepare your own dinner?
And a shared bathroom a public bathroom or a public toilet.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
And shouldn't have an answer.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
I honestly can't in this day and age, especially just
pumping milk. It is so discreete the equipment for pumping
milk now it just goes under your shirt.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
It also doesn't matter if it's discrete or not. It's
a part of being a woman and creating life.

Speaker 8 (27:14):
I know.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
And also I think because I'm so close to giving birth, I.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
Was like, we must riot. I was so angry.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
I don't know many women that are not absolutely raging
right now. And I tried to think what I would
do in this situation. I just wouldn't move. I'd say,
drag me out of here. What are you going to do?
I'm not going to get up and leave because you
are uncomfortable with me expressing milk under my shirt.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
Well, I went down a rabbit hole, right because I
honestly couldn't believe that this was the case. And I
do want to preface this. Virgin has come out and
apologize and this does not follow their procedures and their standards.
I think that the employee took it upon themselves because
they felt uncomfortable, and they maybe made assumptions that were very,
very very incorrect.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
It is not a direct reflection of the way Virgin
thinks and feels.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
No, but the thing is so doctor Turner. She obviously
she posted that on socials. She got so many messages
from people who were so angry for her in the
same way. And so what she did is she went
back in to the Virgin Lounge because she had received, like,
you know, people saying under the nineteen eighty four Discrimination Act,
like breastfeeding mothers are protected, et cetera, et cetera. So
she walked back into the Virgin Lounge. She speaks to

(28:21):
the person, the manager, and she says, actually, you can't
kick me out of here. There's a discrimination act that
actually protects me and my rights to breastfeed or to
pump milk as a necessity, and you can't kick me out.
And the manager had the audacity to turn around and say,
you're making other people and myself uncomfortable by you expressing
this milk.

Speaker 3 (28:41):
I'd say you need to leave, you leave them.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
I honestly can't believe that in twenty twenty five, we
are still shaming women who are breastfeeding their kids or
expressing milk to breastfeed their kids. It is hard enough
to find a comfortable and safe place. If you are
someone who's decided to express milk like it is, you
already feel self conscious about it enough.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Most people try and do it discreetly.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
So to be singled out and told that you've got
to leave and go and do it somewhere because you're
embarrassing people or you're making them uncomfortable, it's so deeply infuriating.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
Yeah, but it doesn't shock me, to be honest, that
it's happening in twenty twenty five. It doesn't shock me
because I feel like I don't want to go down
this rabbit hole. Women always get the short end of
the stick, right, It shocks me that it is happening
by another woman in a place like an airport lounge,
like a business lounge. I'm sure she wasn't walking around
flapping a boob around and in people's faces. She sat
down discreetly and was breastfeeding in a place that she

(29:35):
has paid for as well. Like it's yeah, you know,
I just think and the fact that it was the
shame and was brought on by another woman is just
what really grinds my gears as well. Well.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
Look, Virgin did come out and they apologize. They reached
out to her directly. They apologized for it. They said
it goes against their stand high standards of care and
everything else. Flice for a year or yeah, well, I
don't know, she's got to get something for it, right,
But like they did say that, they've reached out to
the manager who had made these decisions. But it's it's
such a tricky one because it comes down to two things.
Either one the staff haven't been trained appropriately on this,

(30:03):
or two that staff member decided to take it upon
themselves to enact their own personal views, which then so
deeply impacts that company and impacts Virgin. And I just
think in these instances, there is so much information now
that is out there around the right and wrong way
to deal with breastfeeding mothers and the inclusion of it,
and how it shouldn't be a big deal that it

(30:25):
is so bizarre to me that.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
Something like this could slip through the cracks.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
Guys, let them breastfeed. There's not a right and wrong
way to do it.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
I'm going into every breath, I'm going into every Virgin lounge,
and I'm going to get my boob out and see
what people say in the next few weeks.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
I'm not breastfeeding, but I'm going to do it too.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
I'm going to go overround and get my boobs out
and make see.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
What they say. Do you know what happens?

Speaker 1 (30:42):
The male patrons of Virgin really skyrocketed in the month
of September when brit started getting a boom out. Laura.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
I don't know if you've seen this, but I love
to go down a rabbit hole, and I have gone
down this rabbit hole. There is a huge scandal that
is rocking the sporting world right now. So I a
into your sports, brit I am into my sports, and
I'm into like doping scandals and cheating, Like I love
to know who's cheating in what sports and how are
they doing it? You know, you hear about it all
the time. Well, there's a big cheating scandal in a

(31:12):
current world championships. Now this is the World rock Skimming Championship.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
No, this is not a real sport. It also it
kind of reminds me what we talked about last week
with the Guinness World Record the woman set for running
over lego.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
Okay, so I did not know that this was a thing,
but it is two two hundred people from twenty seven
countries have gone to this tiny island off of Scotland
for this competition.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Is it because the water is particularly flat there?

Speaker 5 (31:38):
Like?

Speaker 1 (31:38):
Is it perfect water tension for rock skimming? Is there
a reason why they would go there to that destination.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
I didn't go that deep, but deep live in Scotland
and it does have a lot of flat bays and stuff,
so that could be perfect conditions. Now, one thing I
didn't know, so as I'm a skimmer by trade, I
like to skim when I'm at the beach, So this
competition has courses and stuff. You don't just skim in
a straight line. I want you to just have a listen.
Let someone else explain it. That is so deep in

(32:06):
this world.

Speaker 9 (32:07):
There's a little circuit of competitions and it's basically a
group of people coming together to skim stones across different
bodies of water. I guess it's a bit like F
one in terms of different courses. It's not implements because
each competition has got its own set of rules.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
It's a bit like the one.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Did she just relate skimming rocks in a lake to
the F one?

Speaker 2 (32:27):
Also, this is for me.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
This is just such clear proof that because of the Internet,
you can find your people in anything like it doesn't
matter what you believe in, there will be a community
somewhere that you will be able to find.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
Well, so, what is happening? I know what you're thinking.
How on earth?

Speaker 2 (32:41):
You don't know what I'm thinking right now? Bridge?

Speaker 3 (32:43):
How on earth did they cheat? They're not doping? But
there are some rules, right, And the rules are that
you have to as a contestant, you turn up and
you have to find naturally occurring stones. And they also
need to be like a certain size. They can't be
too big, and they have to fit into this little circle.
And there's all these rules. But the event organizer, doctor
Kyle Matthews, who you know within the industry is known

(33:04):
as the Toss Master. He said that they heard some
rumors and murmurings of nefarious deeds.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
To this, unfortunately by a very small number of competitors.
They had used some machinery to smooth the outside edge
of their stone and make it exactly perfectly round to
fit through our measurer, which is called the Ring of Truth.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
Wow, wow, I feel like we turned into a true
crime radio show.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
I'm so glad we got to the bottom of this one.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
So what's happening is there were people were like rounding
their edges and I think I read that they were
even like putting little holes that helps with aeration into
the stone.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Did you come across this story? Was this all you?

Speaker 3 (33:42):
I entered the competition, saw you.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
What are we talking about?

Speaker 3 (33:47):
I moved to Scotland because I wanted to be the champion.
But they're like smuggling them in their pockets and then
they were like whipping them out and that's how they're
winning it.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
It just shows like people will cheat at anything, Like
people will cheat at literally anything to be a winner.
Ah yeah, I mean nothing as insignificant as a rock
skimming competition. I okay, I feel bad saying the story,
not because I feel bad for the cheating, but because
the cheating actually didn't do anything. I didn't actually use

(34:15):
what I took in to cheat with. So when I
know I cheated in my HC, which is actually which
is actually perfectly time because it's the HC in like
two and a half weeks for kids out there.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
So back in the day, I don't know how it works.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
Now, it's probably very different because everyone's got iPads and
laptops and whatnot. But we got to bring in blank
paper so you could bring in like your sheets that
you could do your workbooks on them and stuff, right,
But it just had to be blank paper or lined paper.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
And I'm really.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
Bad at MASS, great at English, terrible at mass. Could
never remember equations, cheating, really good at cheating MASS. So
I would, yeah to remember all the different equations like
X over this.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
Equals blah blah blah, algebra.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
The formulas, I can't even remember the word for them.
The night before I was writing them out and writing
them out and writing them out, and then I realized
when I threw away the top paper, they were all
scored into the paper underneath that you could sit in
a certain angle you could see the formula scored into
the clean piece of paper, and I was like, I
might just take that in with me, and I did.

Speaker 3 (35:16):
Happened so organically, you thought, how can I Like, it
literally fell.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
Into my lap and you didn't even know.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
And I took it in and I still FAILT So
so I didn't fail, but I didn't do well at VAST.
It was, yeah, I know I was never going to
get into any doing any sciences at UNI.

Speaker 3 (35:30):
Don't worry any kids listening that are going into the
HC absolutely do not do that. We did not endorse you.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
But if you do want to mechanically grind down your stones,
go for gold.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
I don't think anyone's going to care.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
Would you ask uncut where we're just like, I don't know.
We're therapists to people that are going through something really hard.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
I mean, very unqualified therapists, unlike real therapists.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
We'll just give you advice.

Speaker 3 (35:50):
Well, look irrelevant, We're here to help today. We have
the Emma on the line and am I is going
through a bit of a predicament on cheating in her
friend's circle. And like, if you find out some information
that someone you know is doing the dirty, do you
tell them?

Speaker 5 (36:03):
So?

Speaker 3 (36:03):
Hi, Emma, welcome to the show. Hi Emma, lady you
pay day set this up for us. What's going on?

Speaker 10 (36:09):
Okay? So it's my husband's best friend and I know
for certain that he is messaging his ex girlfriend from
ten years ago saying that she was the one that
got away, his mom still talks about her, blah blah blah,
And do I tell he's now a partner that he's

(36:30):
been with for probably two years now and has a
kid with.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
How did you find out?

Speaker 10 (36:36):
She told me the ex girlfriend and told me and
sent me screenshots.

Speaker 3 (36:42):
So that's not fair though.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
So you've read them, is it okay?

Speaker 10 (36:46):
Read them?

Speaker 1 (36:46):
In terms of level of inappropriateness? How far do you
think he's crossed the line?

Speaker 3 (36:50):
I think a message in your ex saying you're the
one that got away and.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
Do you know what?

Speaker 10 (36:54):
When even further like he was just like even the
day after she told me, he had messaged her again
and she was like, oh my god, another one just
came through and like sent me the screenshot of that too,
like any chance to get He's trying to stoke up
the conversation again.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
So, Emma, you're still also has a partner in kids?

Speaker 1 (37:11):
Oh my god, what a journey is she riding back?

Speaker 11 (37:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (37:14):
But she was like pretty cold, like pretty uninterested.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
Yeah. So Emma, you're still friends with her then, obviously,
So she's sending you all the evidence.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
Now you're stuck in the middle. What do you do
with this information?

Speaker 5 (37:25):
Do you know what?

Speaker 10 (37:25):
I'm not really that good of friends with her anymore.
Like we haven't spoken in years and years and years
but she just felt the need that she had to
tell somebody and like, I guess.

Speaker 12 (37:33):
Get it off her chest.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
Do you think that his current partner has any inkling
that there is something like this? You think they're like
happy and wholesome and great.

Speaker 10 (37:42):
I don't know, because I think it's like a very
protected relationship, like no one really knows what goes on.

Speaker 1 (37:48):
Have you told your husband?

Speaker 10 (37:49):
Oh, I couldn't wait to tell anybody.

Speaker 6 (37:54):
Emma?

Speaker 1 (37:54):
What did he say? What was his response to this?

Speaker 10 (37:57):
He was laughing and he was like not in a
vindictive way, just like shaking his heads, like he's like, mate,
this guy is never going to change, Like how is
he still up to the same old tricks all these
years later?

Speaker 3 (38:09):
Okay, here's a question. Then how close are you?

Speaker 1 (38:12):
Like?

Speaker 3 (38:12):
How good are friends are you with her?

Speaker 5 (38:13):
Like?

Speaker 3 (38:14):
Then you girl close zero? So it's not like you
feel like she's a do you know what? It's so
hard and I just I don't even really know what
advice to give you, because if it was me and
my partner was cheating and messaging an X, I would
want someone to tell me. But having said that, I
don't know, you don't know she wants you to blow
up her life like they've got a little kid. I'm
guessing a one year old because they've only been together

(38:35):
two years.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
Oh, I know, it's like what do you do with that.

Speaker 3 (38:37):
You want to do the right thing and say hey,
just so you know he's doing the dirty, but you
also don't want to be the one responsible for absolutely
imploding their life, and especially when you're not that close
with her, it's sort of like makes it a really
awkward thing. If you are really good friends with her
own best friends with her, I would be saying absolutely.

Speaker 10 (38:54):
I would have told her. Yeah, I wouldn't have hesitated
to tell her, But do I want to be the
reason that they've got they stay together afterwards? And then
I'm always kind of like them in the room.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
I Mean, the thing is, you're not the reason, regardless
of what you decide to do. I think it's very
important to know, like, you're not the reason. It's his
behavior that will be the reason. So if you decide
that you do want to tell her, would you ever
speak to him about it? Would you ever send the
messages to him and say, hey, you know, just so
you know, we all now know that this is what's

(39:25):
going on, Or do you want to not kind of
involve him at all.

Speaker 10 (39:29):
I almost did. I spoke to him on the weekend.
It was right on the tip of my tongue and
I thought, Oh, I don't even want to bring it
up with him because I don't want him to bite
my head off by and then tell me to be
quiet about it or am.

Speaker 3 (39:42):
I almost think that you could, like, if your husband
is that good friends with him, like they're best friends,
and he's like, oh ha haa is never going to change,
like he knows his history, maybe your husband, maybe you
can ask your husband to say something.

Speaker 10 (39:52):
Do you know what? I did say that to him.
I was like, are you going to bring it up
with him that you know? And he was like, ah,
He's like, it's pretty funny to still the same way
that he always has been. And he's like, if we
do that, if we tell them we know, then we're
just going to stop finding out about it. He likes
to duc the intel of what's going on because he
also doesn't really know the new misses that well, so

(40:13):
he doesn't really have that care factor there.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
He just sounds like an absolute flog of a person.

Speaker 10 (40:17):
I mean absolutely is yeah, And it's so.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
Like the I think the worst part about this is, like,
you know, you know that your husband's best friend is
just an absolute flog. Like it's hard to respect them,
it's hard to hang out with them and feel like
you you know, you want to even talk to them
or have anything in common with them.

Speaker 3 (40:33):
I think I've got it, guys, I think I've got
it to No, it's going to be like blackmail. So
what you're gonna do is go I think you go
to him the cheetah, and you say, hey, look, I
know what you've been doing. I feel uncomfortable about it.
I don't need to talk to.

Speaker 2 (40:47):
You about it.

Speaker 3 (40:47):
I don't want to hear about it. I just want
you to know that I know it wasn't by choice.
You need to talk to your partner about it, or
I'm going to And that way, he's going to have
to bring it up with it because he knows that
you're going to do it. But then you don't have
to be the one that does it.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
Just great, just go to her.

Speaker 1 (41:00):
That's so much more conflict. Oh my god, he's gonna blow.
He will flip his lid at that because he got
caught out.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
Yeah, and he'll also.

Speaker 10 (41:07):
Change the stock because you're like a little bit less removed.

Speaker 3 (41:11):
Yes, because you're not. Absolutely you're not doing it. It's
that's unonymous. That's it. That's enough from us. Hey, if
you're with us last week, you would have heard quite
an interesting discussion about what are the weird things that
your mum kept when you were a kid? Like, for example,
this isn't weird, but my mom kept my hair from
like my first haircut. I think that's pretty normal, right,

(41:32):
Like you cut the pony, you stick it in that
baby book.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
That's not weird because we cut Lola's fringe recently and
we kept the hair. It only got weird when she
found it and then started scattering around the house.

Speaker 3 (41:41):
They like little baby dust. Well, there were a few
weird things we spoke about. Have listened to this.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
People keep all weird kinds of things that are sentimental.
One of our friends their mum kept their four skin
that are being chopped off.

Speaker 3 (41:51):
Let us know what's like the weird thing your parents kept,
because I want someone to trump the foreskin. If somebody's
parents are keeping something weirder than that, you win. Honestly,
I don't want to say the word too many times
on here, but who keeps an f skin. That's weird
and we know this person really really well.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
It is weird.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
But also we did ask you guys like what did
your mum keep? That was weird and DMS did not disappoint.
We had so many people writing and some of the
stuff was looked passable, some of the stuff was absolutely cooked.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
And we've got Phoebe on the line, Phoebe, what did
your mom keep?

Speaker 12 (42:24):
So my mum has held on to her breast milk
from when I.

Speaker 2 (42:28):
Was a baby, Phoebe like frozen.

Speaker 12 (42:30):
So yeah, it's currently in a snaplik bag in our
freezer and I only discovered this whilst cleaning out the freezer.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
How old is how old? Are you too old?

Speaker 12 (42:40):
I'm twenty six.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
Great, you don't sound like an infant, So that's that's
a little bit too long.

Speaker 3 (42:46):
For what purpose? Was it like the last milking? Was
it like the last?

Speaker 12 (42:51):
I don't know whether it was the first or the last.
I think it's a sentimental value. She was very scared
that I was going to throw it away when I
was cleaning out the freezer.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
Still in the freezer, did she date it?

Speaker 1 (43:01):
Because I you know, most people date their breast milk
when they put in the freezer to make sure it
doesn't go off.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
I'm going to bet that one. I'm very good for
use now.

Speaker 12 (43:08):
Yeah, no date, nothing completely, just to clear SnOH what bad,
which is why I was like, what is this? It's
going in Ben's.

Speaker 1 (43:13):
Wow, breastmink for twenty six years. That's amazing. I just
tell her I kept it.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
Throw it out? Are you living at home?

Speaker 1 (43:19):
That's why when you were cleaning out the freezer you
found it? Or were you cleaning out her freezer?

Speaker 12 (43:23):
I was cleaning out her freezer.

Speaker 2 (43:24):
Oh, and she really wanted to keep it.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
Look, I mean I think in that instance, you let
your mum keep it if it's sentimental.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
Do you know what's cute about that? She clearly felt
very attached to breastfeeding. That was beautiful.

Speaker 3 (43:35):
She still breastfeeds are now twenty six years later. Okay,
we got Jodie on the line. Hey, what what weird.

Speaker 1 (43:41):
Thing did your mum keep?

Speaker 11 (43:42):
I've got three and I can't decide which is worse,
So I have to tell you them all when you
can tell me, Oh please, we were ready. Okay, my
mum kept my dog's balls in a jar for twenty
years after they got into sack oh on the mantel
piece for everyone to see, and she was really proud
of the fact that she had his dog ball.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
Do you think it was just for comedy? Fact that, like,
your mum sounds like a who No, I reckon.

Speaker 11 (44:05):
No, she's got a problem. She waits to hear the
other two. You can decide.

Speaker 3 (44:09):
Why do I feel like I'm getting stuffy? Was it
a stuffy?

Speaker 9 (44:13):
No?

Speaker 11 (44:13):
It was a toe, one of those tiny little fluffy
white things with tiny little balls like and.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
The little marbles.

Speaker 11 (44:19):
It was so disgusting, and I asked her recently about it,
and she said she finally had to get rid of
it up because the formale hyde started to eat up
all the balls. It was just stuff.

Speaker 3 (44:28):
This gets like prone dehydrated.

Speaker 12 (44:31):
Okay.

Speaker 11 (44:32):
The next one when my dad died restitting in the
funeral home and she said to the funeral director, can
I have his knee replacement? I want to have it back,
And we thought she was joking, right, But then when
I left, she obviously continued the conversation, and about a
month later, when I went up to visit my mum,
she had my dad's knee as a paper weight. She
sprayed at Childer and she's using it as a paperweight.

Speaker 3 (44:54):
No, hang on, I love this. I think this is
so cute because it's going to last for ever. It's metal.

Speaker 11 (45:00):
They're so She said, I paid for it and it
was so much money, and I just always joked about
it and I wanted to get it back and your
dad would think it's funny. I can't even look at it.

Speaker 1 (45:08):
She painted at silver and then popped it up next
to the dog balls. I'm sorry, it's brilliant.

Speaker 2 (45:14):
It's a paperweight, Jody, what's number three? I'm scared to hear.

Speaker 11 (45:16):
Okay, are you ready? You're not going to this is?
And God strike me down dead if I'm lying my
whole life. My mum has long, natural painted fingernails, and
every time she broke a fingernail, she threw it in
the Macona jar. And now to this day, and I
can send you a photo she has a large Macona
jar full of her nails.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
She's not right.

Speaker 11 (45:39):
I was, and they're always different colors.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
Send it to me. Do we need this?

Speaker 5 (45:44):
This is.

Speaker 11 (45:46):
Here?

Speaker 2 (45:47):
I need like it feels too extreme.

Speaker 9 (45:49):
It's any of you.

Speaker 11 (45:50):
Because you've got it, You've got to see it to
believe it.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
I'm ready, I stomach it.

Speaker 3 (45:54):
The near replacement, which is just metal, is too much
for you, Laura, but please send me in because you
want to keep a finger it a whole life of fingernail.

Speaker 2 (46:02):
Yeah, because people are too weird. Stuff.

Speaker 11 (46:04):
She must have thrown it in the jar once and thought, oh,
that's funny, I'll keep it, and then just over the
years she just kept doing it.

Speaker 12 (46:09):
And I'm talking.

Speaker 11 (46:10):
I'm fifty five, so this jar is full.

Speaker 2 (46:13):
Wow, Jodida. It is a level of commitment.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
The other week, I know, I poo pooed this and
I probably regret this.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
I don't poopoo everything. You came.

Speaker 3 (46:24):
I tell everyone what you pipoo.

Speaker 1 (46:25):
And you told a story about how you think that
there is a spirit or an alien or something in
your house. It wasn't a.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
Story, it was an experience. I experienced a spirit in
my room.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
There was a flash of light. And Britt told on this.

Speaker 1 (46:38):
She said on the show that there was or is
a spirit in her apartment and maybe it's following you now,
who knows, but you know what here, look, have a
listen to this. This was BRIT's story.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
This morning.

Speaker 3 (46:49):
I was in my room, I hadn't put my blinds
up yet. Like I wake up early to get ready
for a big day work. I had put my bedside
lamp on. Now this is important because the lighting was
quite dark and dull. I went into the shower in
my en suite, and I keep the door open so
I can see out. From my shower, I can see
into my room. And then I see it was like
a mini lightning strike in my room. And then Delilah growned,

(47:13):
my dog. Something happened in.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
My room this morning, and I can't explain it.

Speaker 3 (47:18):
Look, there were no other reasons for lightning bolts in
my room. That's what I'm saying. I'm standing by my experience.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
I laughed, Okay, I did. I'm sorry. I take it back.

Speaker 1 (47:28):
You're far more spiritual than I am, and I know
that we've had conversations on the show before about seeing
ghosts and aliens and everything else.

Speaker 3 (47:34):
You don't have to be spiritual. If you saw a
lightning strike in your bedroom, you'd want to know what
it was to well, do.

Speaker 1 (47:39):
You know what we did? Actually have a listener. So
her name is Sarah. I have a real treat for you, Britt,
because I might have been skeptical, but Sarah certainly wasn't.
So Sarah is a paranormal investigator. She contacted us. She's
sent a whole email about everything that she's experienced and seen,
and she also has seen flashes of light. And I
have just for you, Britt, to validate you in your experience.
I have Sarah on the phone.

Speaker 3 (48:00):
I don't need validation. But then Sarah's here.

Speaker 5 (48:02):
Hi, Sarah, I like, how are you girls?

Speaker 3 (48:05):
Hey Sarah, what's what's your role? You're a paranormal investigator.

Speaker 5 (48:09):
Yes, so we go out when we investigate the paranormal.
We've been around the world doing that.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
Are you free? And can you come to Brute's house?

Speaker 1 (48:16):
No?

Speaker 3 (48:16):
I do, No, you don't have to go to my house.
But when you heard this, because Laura laughs in my
face and mocks me constantly.

Speaker 2 (48:22):
I don't laugh in your face.

Speaker 3 (48:23):
I'm at least three meters away from it, a lot
of camera for recordings, you'd laugh in my face. Did
you hear this? And you were like yes, queen, yes,
spirit queen, like you experienced that as well.

Speaker 5 (48:34):
Yeah, we have actually experienced it and documented it and
turned it into a documentary.

Speaker 3 (48:38):
The Lightning Bolt, the like flash of light.

Speaker 2 (48:40):
What does the flash of light mean?

Speaker 3 (48:41):
Talk to us about it.

Speaker 5 (48:43):
So, we had a spirit that would come through to
us on an island that we were investigating, and he
would show up as a flash of light. So whenever
we would start saying stuff or he went clarified to stuff.
This house had no electricity, Like, it wasn't a flash fight. Yeah,
it just came up in the.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
Ball of light.

Speaker 5 (49:03):
And then we all experienced that bullet of light at
home as well.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
Okay, I have a question for you.

Speaker 1 (49:09):
So that means the spirits followed you to your home? Yeah, Like,
so it showed up in a new environment. Maybe it's
just you, Brit. Maybe you're the spirit attractor because I
lived in BRIT's apartment for four years and I never
saw a spirit because they don't do that.

Speaker 3 (49:21):
They know who that they can go to, Like people
are open to seeing them.

Speaker 2 (49:24):
They know I'll poo poo them.

Speaker 3 (49:25):
But so, okay, what island was this? Was this in Scotland?

Speaker 5 (49:31):
No, it's actually in Sydney and co Cockatoo Island.

Speaker 1 (49:34):
Oh, yeah, I've been there.

Speaker 3 (49:35):
Maybe Yeah, I've been there a couple years ago. Maybe
it attached itself.

Speaker 5 (49:41):
Oh this is a cool kick I'll go home with her.

Speaker 3 (49:43):
How do you Yeah, I used to get that a lot.
How do you they won't though, No, how do you
know for sure? Like what tests are you doing to
know that it is a spirit?

Speaker 5 (49:52):
Basically, because there is no electricity in the house, there
was no substance for that flash to go off the
way that it was going off, and it would show
up in different locations around that house, so we weren't
using our flashlights, Like you could not generate that flash
of light with a flashlight or a camera flash or
anything like That was a very unique flash and we

(50:15):
could get answers from this spirit in the form of flashes.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
This is you need to ask questions. Sit in your
bathroom in the dark and ask.

Speaker 3 (50:25):
Lottery numbers for this week's no So you would say, hey,
if you're there, flash us because I say that too.

Speaker 5 (50:33):
We'd ask questions and it'd be like if it's yes,
like flash. So that's how we were communicating with this spirit.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
But I need you to go home and do this now,
like set up It feels very blair witch, but just
set up your phone recorder in the corner, sit in
a dark room and talk to the spirit.

Speaker 2 (50:50):
I need to know what if it's.

Speaker 3 (50:51):
What if I invite him in too much because he's
only come once. Now, what if he thinks it's a
free reign.

Speaker 5 (50:56):
It could be you know, a family member, or you
know your ancestors, or somebody just really trying hard to
get a message across to you and for some reason,
not a bad timing.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
I was in the shower.

Speaker 3 (51:07):
So if it's my family member and I'm in the shower,
it's yeah, it's not the best time in for spirit.

Speaker 5 (51:11):
Maybe they're like, you're doing well with your body, girl.

Speaker 2 (51:13):
Go get it.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
My granddad, get it much.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
Yeah, back in the day. All right, thanks Sarah.

Speaker 3 (51:21):
All right, well I haven't told you, Laura.

Speaker 2 (51:23):
I can't say it's convinced me.

Speaker 3 (51:25):
Documentary, so that's true.

Speaker 2 (51:26):
That's trying. Need to watch it first.

Speaker 1 (51:28):
But Britt, please, I'm not going home. Go home and
talk to the spirit. I need updates. You come talk
to my spirits.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
I'll come.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
I don't walk him down.

Speaker 2 (51:36):
I don't think he'll appear for me though, I don't.
I don't think it will
