Hi guys, and welcome back to another episode of Life.
I'm Cut, I'm Laura, I'm Britney.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
I'm Mitch, and this is the Pickup.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
This is our radio show where we package up all
like the best bits throughout the week give it to
you in one nice, neat little tight cute box.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Speaking of tight cute boxes, Mitch, you did share a
story this week.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
My boyfriend facetimed me when I was getting my haircut
and he was butt naked on the front and he
didn't realize that I was at the hairdresser, and the
hairdresser saw everything and they slipped and gave me this
terrible haircut that you guys have been laughing at all week.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Let me talk you through it.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
It's not that I don't like it, but for those
that don't know, Mitch Churi, it's short of the sides.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
It goes really high and long and it has like
this flick back cowlick. But what has happened is they've
cut the cowlicky flick back part down, so now it
just goes up like an inch straight in the air
like a block. So it just hasn't got the hook back,
and that's why it looks a bit strange.
Speaker 6 (00:58):
And it will grow tear. It'll go back. It does, Yeah,
it'll come back.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
It still changes you, yeah, in a good way, like
I look cute right?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (01:10):
God where joke? I look good?
Speaker 4 (01:12):
And that story about what happened in the salon chair
on the podcast today.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
We also had Jamie Oliver join us on the show
this week, which feels like a real celebrity milestone for
me because my number one party, like my party, go to,
my dinner, go to anytime I have people over when
I want to seem like I'm a little bit fancy,
and I just threw this old thing together. Is a
recipe for fish tacos that came from Jamie Oliver like
ten years ago, and I still wheel it on out
(01:35):
anytime someone's coming over.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
What do you think that, says Mitch, the fact that
you and I have never been to dinner and had
a fish charco.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
I was just thinking that she's like a wheel it
out for all my friends. I was like, wish hang
on when you never had one?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, no, this is true. It's been a while since
I've made them, though. Covering no, I'll be honest. It's
because I always just buy takeaway when people come over. Now,
I'm a busy woman.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
We have an takeaway.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
You're really digging a hole here, Laura, I keep digging
a Lauren shut up.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Anyway, all that and so much more on the show,
coming right up now, coming right on now, serving that
to you hot in a second.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
If you sit here, it'll be now.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
Nellisen, Ladies, gentlemen, women, gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
It's only for the ladies in here.
Speaker 6 (02:14):
Laura's got it like an afternoon mid afternoon stubble grown.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Up because she shaves the face German blade.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
We can talk about my face shaving another day.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
You know what, We're probably enough time this week. I've
got something interesting. You remember last year when I brought
you the Word of the Year, it was revealed that
Ai and Riz were the twenty twenty three words of
the year, as chosen by Colins. We figure, yeah, well,
this year the new words of the year have been released.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
It's crawls around, doesn't it.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
It's like Mariah Carey and Words of the Year come
out at the same time.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Defrost, don't they they come out. I'm ready, I'm going
to quisum. I'm going to reveal the words to you.
There's a bunch of words and you need to define
them for me.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
We've kind of unpacked some of the really dumb gen
Z words that have come out this year.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I feel like it's gonna be one of those gen.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Z has heavily influenced my generation is I don't know
anything Colin's University.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
Here we go, ladies. These are the top words of
the year.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yapping, talking, yapping away. Yapping has been around since the Dinosaur,
but it.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Does Sometimes I hear these words and I'm like, oh,
not words, but like I hear these phrases and I'm like, oh,
it's like how things just come back in fashion, like
pedal pushing.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Jeans well, yapping Like my nana would use yapping. They'd
be like, oh, she yapped away like she talked my
ear off.
Speaker 7 (03:25):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Yapping is talking at the length, especially about inconsequential matters.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Yapping is like the oldest word. Literally, your grandma should
should be responsible for that, not gens.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
We yap for a living, Yeah, yep in a way.
All right, Moving on, Delulu.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Crazy, You're silly, You're wild.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
You've lost the plot you're doing well. It's also dumb.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Just say delusional.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
You don't have to.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Hey, you're deluding. No, I don't mind that one.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
I like it.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
No.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
Next word, brain rot, brain rot.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Like bed rot for the brain.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Is it like you're just scrolling on TikTok or something,
and so then you're brain rotting away.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I'm in touch with the year.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Colins describe it as an inability to think, clearly caused
by an excessive overconsumption of low quality online media.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Right, that's literally us. Sorry, plains Laura a lot.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Wait, so we're yapp we're brain rotting yappers. That's us.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yeahlulu, I identify with all of these things.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
You've got three for three. What about raw dogging?
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Oh, raw doggings when you go on a flight and
you don't have any stimulus, so like no phone, no water,
no nothing, You just sit there and breathe, I don't know, meditate.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
That is true.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
But raw dogging is also an old term that is
used in the bedroom sometimes. Oh if somebody wants to
do the horizontal dance of love without a condom.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Trying to beat around the bush there, sorry.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Cars, wait, don't ask your mum what that is.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
But yes, you're right, without preparation, undertaking an activity without preparation.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Oh so you can be raal dog. You can roll
dog anything, you could roll dog.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
A test you for a dog. This whole show today,
Your dog, your life.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Laura's life is row dog.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
All right? Are you doing very well? What about looks?
Smaxing looks?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Snaxing to maximize your looks, getting botox?
Speaker 3 (04:56):
It's just where you probably go to the and degree
to look your best?
Speaker 7 (05:02):
Is it?
Speaker 6 (05:02):
I don't know, I don't know. I'll give it you.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Attempting to maximize the attractiveness of one's physical appearance.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
We all do that.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
That is definitely metal. Until I get married. Then I'm
gonna let myself go. But I'm going to be in
for a surprise.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Finally, girls, the word of the year. Brat.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
I've quized you on this before, and famously you didn't.
BRIT's doing the Apple dance.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I know the dance.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
It's like cool girl summer is it kind of the same,
akin to the same thing.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
It's like living you.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
It's like just living your best cool girl life.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Without caring what people think about you.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I always get this one wrong. It doesn't make sense
because you don't live it.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
You you're brain rotting.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I'm yeah, sorry, Mitch, just tell us Brat Summer.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
You're kind of right. It's inspired my Charlie. Yeah, my Charlie.
You know, Charlie, it's wrong. The album is Brat, It's
Brat's Summer. It's just a nonchalant no care. I can
sleep with who I want, I can look like who
I want, I can say what I want, I can
do and wear what I want.
Speaker 7 (05:56):
I'm Brat.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Wow, guys, one of Hollywood's biggest superstars has come out
and in an interview told the world what he deems
to be the worst age possible, like the worst not
only the worst decade you can have, but he's pin
pointed it to the worst year of his life.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Have listened to.
Speaker 8 (06:15):
This, Yeah, Look, I'm sixty eight years old. The hardest
for us was when we were playing thirty five. That
time where your metabolism stops, gravity starts tearing you down,
your bone starts wearing off, You stand differently.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
I think I'm in better shape.
Speaker 7 (06:31):
Now, you look great. I was gonna because good.
Speaker 8 (06:34):
Why because my kids are grown up. I'm getting decent
exercise and I can eat right you can't do that
when you're thirty five. Life is such a burden.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Now, you don't need me to tell you who that is.
That voice is iconic, but it is Tom Hanks. We
know him from Saving Private Ryan for US Gump, Castaway,
Catch me if you can.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
What I find interesting.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Is so at thirty seven is.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
When he did for US Gump. So that's when he
became huge.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
So he was an actor and he was famous, but
he wasn't at like a huge level yet, which I
think is important.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
He was hustling. Yeah, but I think.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
It's interesting because I'm thirty seven. So he's saying two
years ago was his worst year. It was probably my
worst year. It was probably when I think back to
all my time, this is probably my greatest decade, but
my worst year was thirty five as well.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Was that because of I.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Was depressed and breaking up and heartbreaking. Everyone left me,
No one loved me. Were a very public breakup.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
But I was like, was there a reason I didn't
want to unpick it too much? Yes, no one loved me, Laura.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I think it's an interesting one because we've had this
conversation before, Mitch and I have said to you that
your twenties are an absolute mess, right, Like I think
twenties is like the decade where things go wrong. You're
so seeking of approval, like you're just trying to beat
someone who doesn't treat you like crap, and you don't
get paid very much money, Like it's really.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Yourself for your twenties is hard, Laura, come and act.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
I want your day.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
They're cheating on you, you're figuring out your sexuality.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
And then your thirties, I feel.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Like your thirties of a year you gave but you're
still with Really it's a bad time.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
I'm twenty nine, I'm about to turn thirty, so I
haven't had thirty five yet, so that stresses me. So
your bad year, it was thirty five, Lora, thirty five
yet a kid, didn't you?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I had a kid at thirty five.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
But what I was gonna say is, I think my
thirties have been my best years. But I absolutely relate
to this sentiment that you actually don't have any time
for yourself, like they're the best years for your life.
But in terms of what you can actually do to
prioritize yourself, like getting sleep, you know, eating the right foods,
having exercise, like all of the stuff that you know
normally would make you really happy. I think like I'm
(08:31):
in the absolute thick of that at the moment, and
sleep doesn't exist. My friendship circle is really small in
comparison to when I was in my twenties, and it's
kind of just like work, my family, and.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Then you guys, and that's my that's my But you're
you're saying that based on the fact that you have kids.
So I'm thirty seven, like similar eight, I don't have kids.
I have all those things, so my life's great. I
don't have a toddler keeping me up. Like I get
to sleep, I get to walk with friends, I get
to spontaneously go away on the weekend.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Have your body started to fall apart? Because he said
the aches and pains.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
You know when you sneeze and you're like, oh my
back hurts, Now what happened?
Speaker 6 (09:04):
I'm young.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
You might be somewhere yourself.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yeah, or you sneeze and it drips down your legs. No,
that doesn't happen to anyone, just someone who have birth.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
To children are no.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
No, but I think we've been sold alive. I think
we've been sold alight. And that is that as you
get older it gets worse, because I would dare say,
and we've spoken to lots of people in this show
before and also on Life on cart On the podcast,
who have said that every year and every decade, it
gets better and better, even though we're conditioned to think
that just because you get older gets worse.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
My Alma is eighty seven, right, she's she came here
on a boat in the forties with her sisters and
her parents, and she thinks that the eighties are the
best year of her life.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Cool. Why don't we all call someone in our life,
like a grandpa or a mum or dad or something,
and I'll ask them what their best age was?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
That's cute, all right? Dialing Tony, Oh that's my dad,
BRIT's dad.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Sixty eight. That's an official waiter, ennser the phone. It's britt.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
Word.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
How are you?
Speaker 9 (10:01):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Hey, pops, you're on radio. Just just to keep yeah, Hey,
I just wanted to ask you.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
As someone that is so wise and so well lived,
when you look when you look back at your life,
what would you say is the best age or year?
Speaker 6 (10:20):
And why?
Speaker 9 (10:22):
Off the top of my head, I would say, now, really.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
At sixty eight.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
That's what Tom Hanks said that Yeah, why is that Yeah,
because we're out of the house.
Speaker 9 (10:37):
Well, no, but you're at a house I can see
and appreciate the fruits of my labor in terms of
how you guys are going, you know, I mean yours.
You're now got yourself sorted out with Ben Sherry. Has
(10:58):
you know, given me your wonderful new granddaughter. Yeah, and
you know she's coming back to Australia.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
So it's more, it's more, it's more based around the
fact that now you have seen your own family thrive.
Speaker 9 (11:12):
Yeah, they're all doing well. I'm having a great time
with your mum. Yeah, I'm probably you know, the bloody
good of the moment.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
And then if you had to just pick the worst
year of age, what.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Is it for me?
Speaker 9 (11:27):
It was or mid forties, late early early forties. Why
is that sort of make a plan in your late twenties,
you work towards it all looks like it's happening. You know,
in your thirties, you're working hard, You're trying to juggle
you know, the family and mortgages and all that sort
of stuff, and and you know, sometimes it all works out,
(11:50):
and sometimes it doesn't and you know you know our story.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
Thank you, Tony. That's sage advice.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Thank you, puppy.
Speaker 9 (11:55):
Yeah, yeah, you're a right guys.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Let's get somebody done from the burn household should be
called from you, Well.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
We can call some from the Johnson household. So I
live with my mother in law and she's seventy two.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Let's hit her.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
She's on the line. Ellie, Hello, hii hi everybody.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I would love to know what you consider to be
the best years of your life as someone who's in
their seventies now.
Speaker 10 (12:14):
Yeah, well, I certainly wouldn't one. I wouldn't want to
go through teenage years again. They were horrible. I think
the sort of sweet sixties. But now in my seventies,
even though you you know, you have a few eggs
(12:34):
and pains, your body starts doing funny things like you're
fighting a lot.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Oh jes tells what you're really intimate?
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I mean, I do like how you try and cover
them with coughs every sort for Ellie.
Speaker 10 (12:48):
Hard to time, Oh no, I can now time it beautifully,
So you think so I think it was? It's now
you know, now with the joy of grand children and
that wave of love that you receive from them. It's
just beautiful, and you're so bloody grateful to still be around.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Oh, you're just the beast. We love you, love you.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Let's call my oma. Let's get someone from the cheery clan.
She's very brash. She's eighty seven. She's got eighty seven.
Can't be the best of you.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
She's probably like, I'm still alive.
Speaker 10 (13:29):
Hello, read a message, be quick about it.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I almost almost too busy after They live in the
best life.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
She's took places to be thirty seven. She hasn't got
time to mess around.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
That's the best ever. I love old mom. Oh, it's
so cute.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
I love talking about dating red flags. All the people
in my past that have just been like, truly horrific.
The red flags I wish I saw at the time,
but I wasn't educated enough to know about.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
But you have the blinkers on you though they were
party streamers instead.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Well, Olivia Rodrigo has come out and she's she's helping
educate the world on her red flag.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
When she goes on a date.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
What is the number one thing that she will ask
someone that will turn her off them?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Listen to what she had to say.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
The Vegas.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Read vig Okay, this is a very oddly specific question
that I.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Ask guys on first dates.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I always ask them if they think that they would
want to go to space, and if they say yes,
I don't date.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I just think if you want to go to space,
you're a little too full of yourselves.
Speaker 7 (14:36):
I think it's just.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Where that's so dull.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Imagine being like a huge celebrity, a huge celebrity, and
then saying I'm not going to date a guy who
wants to go to space because like their ambitions are
too high, they're a bit full of themselves.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
Now I'm with her, I completely agree.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
It just screams that you are your ego is so
large that you think you a simple man, A very boring,
probably mediocre looking man thinks that you deserve to go
to space.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
No, you deserve to work your casual shifted Bunnings mate.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
You know why. It just screams that he has a
sense of adventure.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
I would rather someone say that they want to go
to out of space than write that they're adventurous on
their dating prociles.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Can I let me give you a Let me give
you a list of men that want to go to space?
And you just tell me how hot you are under
a collar? Laura, you think he's hot? No, I don't
want to go to bezos. Yeah, gorgeous William Shatner.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
His name has Shatner.
Speaker 9 (15:31):
I rest.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
The question might be a dumb question, but I do
think we could also do God's work here, because dating
is hard, and you were in the trenches, and when
you're on a first date sometimes you just want it
to work so well and so much that you will
overlook the things that could be obvious red flags. And
I definitely think that there are questions that you can
ask on a first date which would at least help
you to sift through the absolute scum that is, you know,
(15:55):
dating at the moment.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
I've got one, Yeah, I would very casually over my brusqueta.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
So, hey, what do you think of Andrew Tate?
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
That's what I'd say, very like straight to the point,
like there's no subtle hit there, right.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Like what do you think of Trump?
Speaker 9 (16:12):
Who?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Well, Olivia's asking, hey do you want to go to space? Okay?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
My hot tip is if you're on a first date
and you want to get to know whether the person
is good or not is ask them if they have
like how do they what's their relationship like with their ex'es?
Are they friends with any of their ex'es? Or they
on amicable terms with their exes? Because if you're dating
someone and they're like, oh, all my ex'es are crazy,
I'm like, actually, the common denominator in that it's probably you.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Yeah, no, I've got something to say about that, Laura.
I'm going to reverse who know you? He will also
or that other person will also be like, Wow, she's crazy.
First date and all she wants to talk about is
my ex. You can't go in hot on a first
date and ask about an ex. No one wants to
talk about x's or hear about x's on a first
give ive said.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Call if you've got like a red flag question that
you asked when you date, But mine is haws the
relationship with your mom?
Speaker 6 (16:58):
Are you question with you?
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Oh, that's a good one that always always tells you
everything you need to know.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
You want them to be close, but you don't want
them to be too close.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
Ashes called us high. What's your red flag question?
Speaker 9 (17:09):
Hey?
Speaker 10 (17:10):
Yeah, mine is do you put the trolley away after shopping?
Speaker 6 (17:14):
That's good?
Speaker 10 (17:16):
Yeah, he told me, how consider it they are of
other people, the world around them.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Oh, last one, what age did your mom stop making
your lunch?
Speaker 7 (17:24):
Mit?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Your mom still makes your lunch?
Speaker 6 (17:26):
A shit, No she doesn't. When did she stop? She
never stopped. She never did. But she does make my dinners.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
And she does make your bed.
Speaker 7 (17:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (17:34):
Yeah, And I actually would really like to go to
the Stratify.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
I knew it.
Speaker 6 (17:38):
I think it'd be really fun these days, guys, tough baby.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
I don't think I can return to my hairdresser after
what happened gred haircut. I can't go back because as
I was sitting in the chair, let me set the scene, girls,
I go to this hair dresser all the time. His
name's Tim Lovely. He's the perfect perfect amount of chat,
you know, like a bit at the start offers me,
a sparkling water, bit in the middle, bit at the
end we're done.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I like that because there's only so much chat you
can have with a hair dress You can't talk to
him for two hours straight.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
It goes on.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
I'm like, I want to sit on my phone, you know,
let me just scroll on TikTok, which is what I
was doing. So my boyfriend Steve, and it was early
morning haircut. It's the only time they could fit me in.
So he was staying in bed asleep, and you know,
I said, I'm going to get my haircut.
Speaker 6 (18:14):
He's like, I love you.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
I'm sitting in the chair scrolling on my phone and
Tim's cutting my hair at the top tip cutting away,
and obviously his line of sight is my lap and
my phone. And you're always conscious when you're getting your
hair done that whatever's on your phone probably is inside
of the hair dress.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
It's free game.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
You're not sitting there scrolling only Flans.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
They get those desserts. This is only Flans here.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
I'm gonna have to excuse myself. This cream castad has
really got me going.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
As I said it, I.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Was like about that properly.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
It's a hot trifle if anyway, as I was scrolling
just Twitter and TikTok, my phone rings and it's a
FaceTime FaceTime it's Steve and my boyfriend.
Speaker 6 (18:55):
I'm going to answer. So Tim's cutting my hair.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
I'm holding my phone from I opened the face time
call and there's Stephen Butt naked in the shower, which
is cute. We do it sometimes it's a cute little
hello morning, like I'm naked. And he set the FaceTime
up like the phone was on a prop and he
was about to get in the shower.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
He's like, good mon ow, oh my god, I I
locked my phone.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
I looked in the mirror and Tim as I looked
at Tim's eyes. You know what a dog kind of
looks at you, and it's kind of like, did you
see me peop? Wh You're like, you saw your peop?
But I won't talk about it. It was like that,
he's like, and then he just turned around to get
some pomard or something, and it was mortified.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
I'm sorry, but that is on Stephen.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Stephen knew you were at the hairdressers, and everyone knows
what happens at a hairdresser.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
That's not on you, and that's not on the dressers.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
Not my fault. But can I go back?
Speaker 4 (19:38):
I didn't bring it up. He just went and got
the pomp out and came back and moosed me.
Speaker 6 (19:40):
Up and I left.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
If you are going to FaceTime someone nude, you have
to at least send them a text to say I'm
going to FaceTime you are you alone? Like there is,
there's steps prior to the like surprise news.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Face kills the magic like you know, hey babe, n
SFW nooding coming like, oh, there's no magic in that.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
I've got multiple stories strap in kids. Don't you remember
when when Ben, my fiancee, facetimes me one day. We
always FaceTime each other. We never do a normal call.
We facetimed I was about to get into the shower,
so I was the answer. I answered, and his entire
family were on FaceTime. I was naked and he was
(20:17):
on FaceTime. They were driving to like their parents' like grave,
yeah bee their respects, and the whole family decided. Ben
thought that was the perfect time to call when I
was getting up and getting ready for work.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
So his whole family saw me nude getting into shower.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Which makes it worse because they were all in the car.
So that was like a real captured audience. And there's
brit just popping up say hello, they got more than
they bargain for on that call.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
Was that the first time you'd met them?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah, I'd never met them. It's so ridiculous happened all
you hear this story?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
MAT's surely like this is this, it's very similar vibes.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
I didn't expect him to be nude.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
That's the problem when you and Matt send nudes because
or do you not do it anymore now that you're married.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
We've been together for what seven years now? I reckon
we stopped sending nudes about three years entire rely actually
when we had kids. Yeah, we stopped sending nudes after that.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
And when was the last nude? You said?
Speaker 1 (21:03):
I have not sent Matt nude in four Yeah, four
and a half years.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Probably do it and see what he says.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
Do it for the show.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
It just and then we'll put it all on the
pick up socials. I don't think you can you ignore
it these days.
Speaker 6 (21:18):
I don't know he would be I think, Kim, say.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Did radio set you up for this?
Speaker 7 (21:23):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
He can't honestly be shocked. He wouldn't know what to do.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
In the break, you go to the bathroom, Maybe take
a nude, send it or report back in the in
the fluorescent down larding, yeah yet.
Speaker 6 (21:33):
Nothing screams hot like a white tons of light like.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
A public toilet fluorescent lightning.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Very excited for our next guest. He's got a brand
new TV show coming to Channel ten in a couple
of days and a brand new cookbook, V one and
only Global Sensation Ladies.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
Jamie Oliver is in the studio. Hi, Jamie, I.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Actually have a question surrounding the fact that I am
surprised you got clothes on, because Jamie Oliver, I thought
the naked chef.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Meant you were naked.
Speaker 7 (22:00):
Well, it's been known once in a blue moon to happen,
but it was about stripping down the food to its
bare essentials. That's where the naked chef was born. That's
probably the only reason we got ratings and then everyone
was very disappointed.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
Then you no, thank you.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
This is so cool to have you in here, Jamie
Oliver in the flesh is.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Just I would say.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
The only recipe I know, like, my one thing that
I pull out at every single dinner party is the
fish tacos with Kiwi sauce.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
It's like sauteed Kiwi sauce.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
And that has gotten me through so many dinner affairs
where people have thought that I can actually cook and
they'll be going like Kiwi, what so good?
Speaker 7 (22:39):
The reason for Kiwi is this in the UK, possibly
like in Aussy, it's really hard to get Tomatillo's, but
actually it gives you that similar, really similar kind of
like tangy, fresh sharp.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
It's good, say tomato, because I don't even know what.
Speaker 7 (22:54):
That istio you go South American tomato, Jamie, What.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Is your dish?
Speaker 3 (22:58):
If you're having a dinner party and you really want
to impress what you go to I.
Speaker 7 (23:03):
Think impress is always an interesting emotion because I think
you can have the right dish with the wrong people
and it's wrong, or you can have you know, the
wrong dish with the right people and it could be right.
I mean, I personally always want to have as much
time with my guests as possible. So something that you can,
you know, summing macas in mac and cheese like McDonald's
(23:27):
in Australia. I know, I just make a burger because
it's like quicker and better and juicy, yeah, and cheaper.
But it's really hard, Like my life is just like
a jukebox of recipes. I never really know what to
do until I get there.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
But also I find this amazing.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
You have five children, so you must have some skills
in how you feed fussy kids. I've got two kids
and one of them only lives on corn crackers. Sure,
I need anything else? How do you get fussy kids
to eat food that would be more interesting than corn?
Speaker 7 (23:55):
Just hunger, just good old fashioned hunger, to be truthful,
Like it's interesting, like like our kids these days don't
get hungry because they invented snacks. There is the snacks
don't exist. I mean snacks were always a bit of
fruit or nuts or something. But it's really interesting. I
remembered working in South Africa where they had this incredible
(24:17):
orphanage and these three women came in and did these
amazing school lunches and they just smashed a lot and
they're just so grateful. And then I just spent years
doing it in the UK. And because they're all on
like crisps and sweets and like energy drinks like that,
they don't want food, like they just want the stuff
they want, so they're fussy. But no, I think, honestly,
if you can, yeah, I just make sure that from
(24:37):
breakfast to lunch they don't eat, and yeah, just cook
something tasty. I mean, yeah, they have their kind of patterns.
Even though my kids are pretty good. They love the
obvious things pasta pizza, but I try, and with parents,
you don't judge yourself on the day. You have to
take the long game, the long game, and so when
they're hungry, I always put out like some kind of
(24:59):
version of a salad. Sometimes you win, sometimes we love,
and it does.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Work when a parent does that. I remember growing up
and you'd be like, I'm so hungry. You Mum would
be like, there's plenty of fruit and the fruit ball.
It's true, though, no, but then you say you don't
want fruit, and she would say, you can't be hungry.
Speaker 7 (25:14):
It's not just about the dinner. Even if it's like
a greater carrot salad dressed right, they'll have a nibble.
It doesn't matter if they smash it or not, all
of it or not. But the thing is it's marketing.
And like when I was working with the big schools,
you have to put something in front of them fourteen
times before they try it, and then it's got to
taste good and then you might have another go. But
so kids aren't born to eat nuggets and burgers. It's
not genetic. It's called marketing.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
You've done some incredible work in the UK around getting
food to disadvantage kids and it's something we don't have here.
But it's for children who don't have access to it,
being able to come to school and have free lunches.
Why was working and being able to provide that so
important to you.
Speaker 7 (25:49):
Well, I mean it's like it's important in Aussie too,
but obviously it's not freezing cold and wet a lot
of the year. So if you kind of get poverty
and freezing cold and wet, and they you have disadvantaged
communities and they're trying to learn, like you know, hungry
kids can't learn. And so if you're really passionate about
the idea of the most vulnerable in our community working
(26:11):
and thriving and kind of getting out of that and
having possibilities like the dream, then you got you know,
you got to feed the body and the mind. And yeah,
like we have one hundred and ninety days the year
in the UK where we do breakfast and lunch, so
it might as it might as well be good.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Jamie, I got a question. I'm in a relationship. Tell
me if this is a red flag on my okay,
not me being in a relationship. I don't know why
everyone looks shocked when I said that, but no, I'm
you know, I'm settled down and my boyfriend eats a
hamburger with a knife and fork. But I'm talking if
he even touches the barn or the or the paddy,
instant hand wipe has to clean. Is that a red flag?
What does that say about someone's psychology?
Speaker 7 (26:46):
This is not a euphemism, right, this is real. No, no,
because it's your people that invented puppetry of the penis.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Right, he's really eating.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
I'm just trying to code out like what that means.
Speaker 6 (26:59):
Give it by that logic, he gets me off with
a knife and.
Speaker 7 (27:01):
Fork, is it's getting worse. Don't ever get Australia. Never
ever get off with a knife and fall. Use something
a bit softer in room temperature. Yeah, a cheap circumcision.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
This is out there like this great promo.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
We'll get to the book and the TV showing about
thirteen minutes.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
Ye Now, what is your advice? Is that crazy?
Speaker 7 (27:21):
Probably like a bit o c D. Has he got
really organized sock draw Yeah? Very Yeah, okay, so he's
just like slightly neurodiverse. I've got one of those in
the family. They like to have separation and cleanliness. They
don't like the idea of bacteria and yeah, I mean,
I think this is just the start of a lot
of things that's going to happen in your relationship. Before
you know it, when you come in the front door,
(27:42):
there'll be one of those sheep dipping baths and you'll
go through. So this is just the beginning of a long,
fruitful relationship. It's going to be good, but you'll be
very hyghgieniic. Okay, it's good to know I'll be clean.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Yeah, all right, I've got a question now, Jamie.
Speaker 7 (27:56):
Is it better than that last one? Coming on?
Speaker 3 (28:00):
But it's sort of about my personal life, but not
about the sexy side. You've been married to Jules, your
beautiful wife, for twenty four years, You've got five kids.
I feel like in this Hollywood world that is deemed
as an anomaly, Like, not many people hit those marks
and those milestones.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I'm getting married in six months.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
What advice do you have for a long, wholesome, beautiful marriage.
Speaker 7 (28:21):
Oh, it's so easy to say, I mean, I.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Think I'll take it.
Speaker 7 (28:28):
No, No, it's really hard because you don't want to
be you don't want to sound patronizing. Yeah, because I
think half of marriages don't work out right, So I
think don't go to bed with a chip point, you know,
don't hold grudges. Yeah, you know, try and sort things
out before you go to bed. I think I think
a really obvious one is hang around. Yeah, and you're
(28:49):
really a team. And me and Jewels often say like
we're at our best when we're really like in like
something's gone wrong. But you know, I don't know it's
it's going to be up and down, and that's normal.
I think some people think when it's not going well
that that's really weird and bad. But that's pretty normal.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
Now, Jamie told to us about the new book of
the new TV show because we have a copy of
the book. Are Simply Jamie is out now the new
TV show Jamie Fast and Simple.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Which beautiful looking book.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Beautiful looking book, Fast and Simple. Again, I think your
mind is in the gutter with that title as well.
That can be food, but it also does sound much
something else, fast and simple.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
A lot of that.
Speaker 7 (29:20):
There's a consistent pattern here.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
I know it as here though.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
No, there's a fourteen minute pastor in there, and I'm like,
I can't even make toast in fourteen minutes, so this
is impressive to me.
Speaker 7 (29:28):
Yeah, look, look basically when my job, really, if you
want to be a good author, is to really listen
to the public, listen to the things they're scared of
excited about, and the problems they have. And the audience
now is very different to twenty five years ago.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Yeah, I can imagine.
Speaker 7 (29:41):
So twenty five years ago, forty six minutes average time
on dinner, Like, oh, before COVID it was twenty one.
I think it's more like nineteen now. The uberzation of
food has never been kind of easier to get takeaway,
so and people are working really hard. So what I
have done is I've looked at actual basket data of
what people buy. I want you to cook stuff from
this book that you already have in your fridge. So
(30:02):
if you look in there like that, you've got ten
pastas in there, but they're all no cook pasta sauces.
So one pot to wash up, you can make the
sauce like literally in the time that it takes to
cook the pasta. There's like ten ways with salmon, because
I know you buy salmon, right, but you're bored of
it as well, So let's make it not boring, you know.
Let's you've got ten ways with like a chicken breast,
but they're cool and contemporary, quick ways to cook it.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
But also so good if you've got kids.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
But the last thing you want to do is like
having to do the big clean up, the big prep
and everything else afterwards as well, and no one has
time for it anymore.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
They just don't.
Speaker 7 (30:29):
So when I'm writing, before I even start getting creative,
I'm thinking about cost. I'm thinking about washing up. I
don't thinking about how many ingredients and can you get
the ingredients from a regular supermarket? Yeah, and then veggie, vegan,
fish and meat and having a nice spread of that
and healthy and indulgent. So at that point I haven't
written a recipe, so yeah, I think my job is
to give you a book that's like super user friendly
(30:52):
and you can trust it.
Speaker 6 (30:53):
We've all got a bit of Jamie over in our kitchen.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
You can extend it now simply Jamie out Now and
then Jamie Fast and Simple. The fifteenth of November seven
point thirty on ten and ten plays Jamie Oliver.
Speaker 6 (31:02):
It was a pleasure, buddy, thanks for coming on the
pick up.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
You're an absolute delight. Thank you, thank you,
