Speaker 1 (00:00):
This episode was recorded on cameragle Land. Hi guys, and
welcome back to another episode of Life. I'm cut, I'm.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Laura, I'm Brittany.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
It was your big week, was it?
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Well?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Yeah, the dummy Fairy come.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
But that's the whole I can't talk about that though,
so are talked about it on the podcast. I know it was,
and then I felt so light on for personal stories
to talk about. I also talked about it on radio.
It's taken over my life, that's what happens. The dummy fairy.
That's okay, she's coming. She did come, as you guys know,
and we are dummy free household now.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
But I'll update you guys like you know next properly probably,
But it was very exciting. It was your birthday as well,
but we spoke about that as well. Well, you are
dragging that out low, Laura. We have another dinner for
you this week. Likes, that's been quite a long process
this birthday.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
That's okay. I feel like.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
As you's okay, she says, yeah, as you.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Reach, as you get closer and closer to forty, I
feel like I'm at least entitled to a couple of
days of celebration.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yeah, I feel like most people don't go to OTT
for thirty nine because I didn't go OTT.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
I just took talked about it on one episode and
then went out for one dinner. Just was a week late.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, it's just because you're a bit depresso, so we
did have to double down. Well, she really needs something,
all right.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Well, look, guys, if you haven't figured it out, this
is the pick Up, which is our radio show, all
the best bits from radio. We packed it up and
bring it here for you so that you don't have
to listen to radio if you don't want to, you
could just listen to it easily here.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
And we did have the beautiful Jessica Molboy in studio
this week. We love her. We've spoken to it quite
a few times over the years. She's such like this
little ray of sunshine.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Well, she's just had a baby, baby Mia, and she's
been she's been super private about it, but she shared
kind of what that experience was like finding out that
she was pregnant. And also, I mean she's the epitome
of this, like how do you juggle an incredibly successful
career alongside new motherhood and at the same time launching
new businesses? Like, it's crazy, it's inspiring, but also it
(01:48):
seems like she's definitely got a hands full. And we
also talked about group chat mishaps.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
This was funny.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
It was it comes off the back of what happened
with the Donald Trump administration the group chat, which is
not funny, it's terrible, but how they had a group
chat going around that they accidentally added a journalist too.
If you don't know what we're talking about, google it.
There's a lot to it. But we wanted to know
what were your group chat mishaps, and we had potentially
the funniest call we've ever had on the pickup. Her
(02:16):
name was Paige. She's also a lifer, and holy dick.
Literally it was a great, great group chat mishap.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
And I don't know how I was viscerally uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I don't know how they ever recovered. So that's all
coming up next.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Well, it's been a very big week for our very
own Australian seer like super singer songwriter seer. Wow, that
was a lot of alliteration. I didn't even mean to
do chandelier. Yeah, I guess that was different lead of it.
I'm the same sound I wasn't trying to make it
a literation. I was actually just trying to you know. Yeah, anyway,
I'll sing it for you everyone.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Well, firstly, this.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Is not funny. She has filed foot divorce from her husband, David.
She's been married for two years, but it just came
out this week that she's divorced. Secondly, the name of
her child has been announced. I don't know if you've
heard this, Laura, do you know what Sea has named
her tribe.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I did see this, and now I've forgotten what was it?
Something terrible Somersault, wonder No, no Somersault like gymnastic move Somersault.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
You can't wonder one like wonder woman.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
It's funny because like I remember when Gwyneth Paltrow named
her the oldest Apple, and everyone thought that was real wacky,
and now Apple's just superstandard.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
And then there's like you were Somersault, you'd be frothing
if your name was Apple. Anyway, That's not what I
wanted to talk to you about. What I wanted to
talk to you about is like the crazy rumors that
celebrities have to face. Sea finally has this week put
one of her wildest rumors to bed have listened. What
is the craziest rumor you've heard about yourself? That I
(03:43):
was living in Beyonce's facement.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
So there's bit of r that guy was that Gollum.
It's doing the interview.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Very American, very energetic interviewer. But it's been going around
since twenty fifteen that Sea lived in Beyonce's basement. And
I wouldn't have put this room in to bed either.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I would love for.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
People to think, for eight years, I've been living in
with Beyonce.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
If anyone's going to have a nice basement, it's Beyonce,
like she's that's not that's not a regular person's basement.
That could be a full apartment.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Could you imagine it would be bigger than my house?
The rumors like, that's a good rumor. I was thinking
about Avril Levine, you know, the rumor that she's dead,
that she's been replaced by a fake woman that just
looks like her.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Joanne mcdally did a whole podcast around the rumors. If
you don't know, she's a very funny Irish comedian. She
did a whole podcast series around the rumors that Avril
Levine is not really a living anymore. What her name is?
Is it Levine Levine Levine or she's yeah, she's I
don't think she's definite. I don't think she's alive. It's
the guy from Room five or whatever it is, Adam Levine.
(04:42):
Is that.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Wow? I'm wow? Yeah, First the.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Name is Levine, and I'm starting that rumor because I
don't know any celebrities names. The only rumor, sorry, just
the way.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
That you were trying to really just like you know what,
I was getting mixed.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Up with Adam Levine. Not shut up. The only rumor that.
I mean, I'm not a big enough celebrity for people
to make rumors about me. I don't think anyone cares.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
You've got loads of rumors. What do I have. There's
a whole thread called Laura Burn's rumors. No, it's not
meant that.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
There was a rumor that I was pregnant when I
wasn't pregnant. That was a really nice article to face.
The other one was when Matt and I first met.
So I met my husband on the Bachelor, and when
we very first met, there was a rumor that came
out that we already knew each other, and that the
whole thing was a setup, and that like it was
orchestrated for me to win the show, and that we
were always going to be together, like we had a
(05:36):
secret act. That's what came out and that wasn't true.
That comes out on every single Bachelor season.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
You guys did make eyes in the sauna. You had
seen each other beforehand, and we.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Are still in contract, so like, that's why we're still
together and have two children.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
You have the ten new contract the room that I
think about, which I use it to my advantage sometimes
sometimes it was detrimental. But there was a rumor and it.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Was it was on Google. Wasn't a rumor? Yes it was.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
It's not true.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
On Google.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
If you typed in my name, the first article that
would come up is Britney Hockley's net worth and it
said that it was I was worth two hundred and
seventy five million dollars.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I don't know where this came from. I've know Britney
very well and have known her for a long time.
I would just like to say that I know that
that is absolutely untrue.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Nothing not even close. But when I started dating my
filmce Ben, I know the first thing that you do
because I also do it is google each other. Like
when you start dating someone, you don't even have to
be famous to do that. You do get due diligence,
criminal criminal records. I want to know everything. I want
to know what's been going on in your life one
hundred percent. So I did my Google on Ben his
he lived overseas, and he did his Google on me,
(06:35):
and I knew. I was like, Oh, no, he thinks
I'm loaded because we just like hooked up for a weekend.
I was like, he thinks I'm worth so much.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Money, and I wonder he wanted to keep dating you
after you guys had one hangs and bangs. That's what
I said.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
But we didn't have this conversation for a couple of
weeks and then I said to him, Hey, I need
to talk to you because he lives overseas and He's
like what, And I said, I think I've realized why
you're so interested in me, because I was like in
my head, I was like, this guy barely knows me,
he doesn't live in the country. Why is he chasing
me so hard? And I was like, he thinks he's
hit the jackpot. And I had to have a conversation
with him about like, I know you would have giggled
(07:10):
me and you would have seen my net worth and
he's like, yeah, I absolutely did. And I said, well,
I like, I think that you're dating me for that
reason and I need to know that that's not true.
I don't earn that money and he goes Brittany, I
thought that for about twenty four hours until I saw
your apartment.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
He's like, he's like, I'm not with you for your money.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
I hate to break to you.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
And I was like, great, then we can continue on.
It was real love.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Oh, well, I'm very happy for you.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, what not for the twenty and seventy five minutes.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
No, I'm actually devastated to you. Now we have an
icon in the studio, Australian icon singer, amazing mum. Literally
everything you can do. And Jess, it's so wonderful to
have you back here. But your life has been so good.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
You haven't said who's in the studio.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
It's Jess amount of why everybody.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I was a strange intro. I'm like, tell.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
Everyone he's here.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Oh, we've been talking about it. Also, you have been
honestly the busiest woman the last six months. You have
started your new skincare label and you just had a
baby baby. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
It has been I mean, the last three years itself
has been really wild. Creating Desert Rose, the company and
the brand, and bringing an amazing team together to bring
this incredible SBA fifty plus hydrating face serum. That was
something that I guess in my life I've always wanted
to do. You know, music has always come first, along
(08:33):
with family being out on the road, you know, and
I always imagine myself being a mother as well, you know,
mothering internally to my nieces and nephews. I guess all
round has been a big change, particularly with creating Desert Rose,
but also quite magical with birthing baby Mia.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
So yeah, doing it all at once was a choice.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
That was it just happened.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
And I think as music giars and developing music, I
almost had to look at it that way. Whereas I
was just going on with life, making music, writing the story,
extracting things from my experience and my journey and people
that I've met along the way, And I think life
sometimes happens that way, and for me it was happening
that way. It was just going I was meeting and
(09:20):
showing up for it and immersing myself in it as well,
I think is the word which was making me happy.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Did you feel as though you wanted to have a
pivot from music and creating a company and becoming a
businesswoman or do you feel as though this is something
you want to run alongside and do it together.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Yeah, it was definitely on the outside of music that
I was doing. It was I guess I love smelling things.
Let's just go there for a second, but it's not
so good. I'm one of those people like to like
something and the smell has to make me feel good.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
So do you just sniff baby me all the time now?
Because everyone's how few born.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Babies like these?
Speaker 2 (10:01):
You want to eat them.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
It is a bit like that. I tend to gaze
at her a lot. Every day is just looking at her,
and I find I'm seeing myself like I'm looking in
the mirror. It's kind of scary, Like I would look
at her and I'm like, WHOA, that's me, you know,
Or her head shaped that way, or the way her
hairline is kind of growing, or the way she's like
(10:24):
frowning or smiling in her sleep, Like there's those kind
of things that make me kind of be an awe
of life.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Has becoming a mum been what you expected it to
be or has it been different.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Ups and downs like of it?
Speaker 4 (10:38):
You know, I hear my sisters and see my sisters
how they're developing and growing their children.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
But I think, personally, yeah, it is different.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
It is different to how I've I'm taking it on
and I think space with me has been a really
big thing and has allowed me to really enjoy the
process of just doing it how I intuitive think. I
need to do it with all the right guidance and
the information, and you know, what feels right is right.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
It's so hard like some people seem to just naturally
take to it. I think I was very much a learner,
like I got better hazard as time went on, but
it didn't feel super intuitive to me, I don't think.
But also I do think when I had my first baby,
I was trying to do everything still as though I
didn't have a kid, Like I was still working full
(11:28):
time and like trying to socialize and well, it seems
as though like you've taken some real time for yourself
in this little bit. I know that you've just launched
this business, but has music taken a little bit of
a back burner at the moment, like what's your plan
for music now?
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Yeah, well during the whole pregnancy.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
So last year, when I found out in April, I
was just on the back end of my tour and
so that's when I really felt, all something feels different,
like crazy, I'm coming off more exhausted, like I'm literally
on all fours just like panting and trying to catch my.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
Breath, and so it was quite scary.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
But also I was like, oh wow, I need to
go into my GP.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
We'll take a.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Pregnancy test really and it wasn't showing up, and so
I thought it was really it was really really early.
But that kind of really spun me into a spiral
and I didn't know if I needed to tell my
team or just that kind of thing that's managing it
and then feeling a little bit self conscious like about
the whole thing. But it was two three weeks later
(12:32):
I tried again. I literally bought I think five boxers
went away, but I just tried to just kind of
be patient, and yeah, it was like literally the fourth
week I tried it, it was faint and I was like, Okay,
I need to book myself into the GP.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Went to the GP and.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
She's like congratulations. She was like, oh wow, and I
just sat there. It was almost like I was had
out of body experience and then I came back into
my body and I was like, yes.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I think yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
I wasn't quite sure, and I was just surprised and
happy and overwhelmed. And how am I going to tell family?
And you know, what's that going to be like? And
he's always wanted to be a father, so that was
something I knew was going to be really excited about,
but how was he going to you know, take it?
And when I did express it to him, yeah, he
(13:28):
was in tears, like he was really he was really overjoyed,
you know, and ready. I think he was just already ready, Okay,
what do I need to do? Like when's the appointment?
What do we need a book?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Like?
Speaker 5 (13:40):
What do we need to buy?
Speaker 4 (13:41):
And I was like, I don't know, Bob, I'm in
this for the first time, so let's just let's just
see how it goes. You know, I think I might
be having some emotional things that are coming up, and
so I've got to manage that first.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
And then sorry, how is your I'm always fascinated by this.
Also this someone that doesn't have kids, that doesn't know
when or what I'm going to do. But how did
your birth plan if you had one, differ from when
the time actually came.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
I didn't have a plan. At first.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
I was like, maybe I should have a plan, but
I got so overwhelmed that I just completely threw out
the plan. I was like, I'm going to be open.
I don't know what it's going to be like, I
don't know how my body's going to react. I'm just
hoping that Bubba's really nurtured in there, bubbs going to
be okay, and that if I just maybe if I
(14:32):
remain calm and give myself some really good and you know,
happi end orphans, then it might just you know, it
might run smooth and you know, Bubba will grow. So
that's kind of how I kept thinking about it and
processing it, not having visualized or seeing bub yet. So
(14:53):
I think as I got closer to doing like the ultrasounds,
and when I actually seen the little bean, the little bug,
I was like, oh wow, you know, and learning that
you could know the gender at that point, I was like, okay,
this is a lot. I'm just gonna step back and
not yeah, not to try and think about it too much,
but I think because you're always feeling, it's just there.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Well, most people have like a playlist that they birth to.
Did you yourself.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Good question, though, because the funny thing was, I just
released the Yours Forever records, so I was not only touring,
I was promoting the records, so I was listening to
myself good. I was literally singing my songs, singing the stories,
being on different stages in front of different people, and
just absorbing, you know, all the good stuff that music
(15:49):
makes me feel. And I just tried to keep working
and not think about it too much. And I really
didn't have a birth plan. I didn't we didn't do
the we had dimming love, but that was just the
hospital life.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
It just turned them down.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Just imagine your baby coming out into the world to
like it's obviously heard you talk the whole time, but
to listening, and it could have been worse. Imagine if
you were the artist of Like my Neck.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Girl, Like a Girl.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
That's funny.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
That's funny that you mentioned.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
That because I was breaking my back in the hospital.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
Like when I wasn't having contractions.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
I was walking up and down and doing like back crumps,
like I was literally just trying to buy time because
those contractions were real, They are real.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
You didn't have drugs, did you.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
I didn't have any drugs.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
I didn't want to be a hero and I didn't
want to be like you know, but if it got
really worse and I just couldn't handle it, there was
that kind of look to them and them would be like, Okay,
she needs something. But it was right at the end
that I gave the last two pushes. I did end
up tearing a bit on the wall, and that's when
(17:01):
I thought I would try.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
The gas, but it like it was literally to two stitches.
Like I was like, I'm going to try it because
if someone asked me, like did I.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Have any drugs?
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Lazy?
Speaker 5 (17:16):
I had two puffs.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
That's what I had. You're allowed to say you didn't
have jobs Like that's not touching the.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
Song, right, that's so crazy.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
But eventually, right, I just thought to myself, I cheated
at the end, right.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Yeah, there's no judgment here. You. I literally got into
hot and I was like give me the menu, thank you,
like Laurie, you're not and I was like, I don't care.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I'll take the opioids.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Chest. Your beautiful new skincare that you've launched. Why was
it an SCA fifty plus that you wanted to bring out.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Yeah. So the story behind that was growing up in
the Northern Territory was something that I really loved. I
loved my childhood, but I didn't realize the impact of
the sun and the UV and in Dah and the
humidity and the heat and a lot of the time
overcast due to the weather. I didn't wasn't really educated
(18:09):
on that, and so I really wanted to now in
my adulthood years, is to roll model how important your
skin is. You know, you only have one skin and
the UV never rests, and so that's not along the
way teaming up with amazing people who had the knowledge,
who had the science background, who worked in the skin industry,
(18:31):
talking with them, you know, understanding how it worked. I
really wanted to roll model that, you know, your skin
is important, particularly for my community, you know, and people
who potentially tan that don't know the background of how
a damaging that could cause your skin.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
So I also think it's like there's so much misinformation
because I would say that a lot of people would
just assume, especially having indigenous skin, like, right, it's got
such beautiful dark skin, that there's some natural protection in that, right,
And that might be the case to some extent. One
in three Australians will be diagnosed with skins.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Which is so skinny.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Difference is that out of curiosity, Like skin cancer rates
in indigenous skin.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Is skin like, it is the same and it penetrates
exactly the same, So there is no difference in that, Like, yes,
it probably absorbs differently at some level, but down the
road you're still, yeah, you still need to protect.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Do you have any plans to expand this range and
to be like a whole entire pole.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
That was kind of like the dream of it, a
hero product that made me feel nourished and protected and
also that I could wear date and night. You know,
I'm constantly under the lights on stage, you know, so
I what is something that you know was a skin
barrier but also made me feel good. It didn't stick
my eyes. We all know that feeling. But also that
(19:54):
kind of worked with my tone, and that could work
with all tones and all skins. So this is something
that I really wanted to be a forefront in people's minds,
young people. To protect your skin, you know, also cover up,
you know, and also feel good glowy hydrate, Take care
of your skin, take care of your body and enjoy it,
(20:15):
you know, as simple as that.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
The very first thing I did when you hand it
to us was like opened it and smelt it's I'm
the same, and it smells incredible smells earlier. How it
was like amazing. The packaging is so beautiful. Just congratulations,
it's phenomenal. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
I look forward to, you know, people feeling good in
their skin and enjoying it and having fun with it
as much as I have.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I was really hoping you would have brought baby Mirror
in here, but she's in the factory work and got
her little hands going, absolutely thriving.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Congrats on motherhood.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Congrats on the business. Like literally everything you do turns
to gold, I should say, like even your packaging is gold.
It's actually really incredible. But we love to see it if.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Everyone does it. Row It's just launched. You can find
out more at Desert Roseaustralia dot com. Congrats, Babue, big love.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Okay, today we're talking about group chat mishaps. Now I
shouldn't have wet myself laughing, because it's actually really bad.
We're very detrimental to the world's politics. But this, for me,
this news article was the funniest thing I've read in
a long time. So Trump's administration has accidentally added an
American journalist from the Atlantic into their group chat where
(21:29):
they are talking openly about war plans.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yeah, but it's not funny. They're talking about bombing Yemen. No,
you can't say it's the fust.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
That's not funny.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
The funny thing very funny.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
No, for me, the funny thing is I think Donald
Trump and his administration are dumb. So that's where I
think it's funny. I'm like, how have you accidentally added
someone in a journalist of all people, somebody whose job
it is to report on this, How you've accidently added
them into a group chat where you are openly talking
about who, when, how, why You're going to bomb people?
I actually cannot believe that this has gone Some things.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Just should never go down in a group chat. Some
things are not meant to be in a group chat.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Yes, something shouldn't be in a group chat. But the
funniest part is how you accidentally have added someone to
a group chat, or you've accidentally sent something to a
group chat that you didn't even know you were in,
or you've entered the wrong chat. I remember it was
actually only a couple of weeks ago. I'm in a
group chat with my fiancee Ben, my brother in law Jay,
and my sister Sherry. Ben sent like a selfie of
himself and he had no shirt on and he'd just
(22:22):
finished training his overseas because we don't see each other.
He just sent a selfie and he's like, miss you,
and he sent it to the chat.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
But it was supposed to.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Just beat to meat, but he said as the group chat,
and all of a sudden, my brother in law's writing
back being like miss you two baby, like look look.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
In a hand. It's easy to do, especially when everyone
has a million different group chats open, Like I mean,
poor jd Vance just had fifteen group chats and he
sent the wrong thing and added the wrong journalists. Like,
you know, can you blame the guy? Yes, he needs
the sack. Do you know what happened? Okay, give us
a call if you've had a group chat mishap yourself.
We want to hear about it. I'm sure it is
not as bad as this one. But my sister in
law had her second baby, I think it was, and
(22:56):
her husband had taken a photo of the baby, but
in the background was my sister in law in the
after birth, still in the position of birthing, like the
baby had beef come out.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
It's see things you probably shouldn't need.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Yeah, And he sent that to my mother in law
so like to her mom to say, you know, congratulations.
Now he did the next baby. She then sent that
on to the entire family group chat because she was
so excited that the baby was in the world, not
realizing what was happening in the background of that photo.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
So she literally just folded on a nude There was.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
A gaping wound in the background, and she was like, here,
it is to be fair.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Your sister in law at that point probably didn't even care.
She was probably like, I literally just birthed a child.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
She's got all brothers. I think she did care. I
think she didn't want them to all see that.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Because that depends, well, I don't think the brothers are
going to be like zooming in.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
I hope they're not. Well, look, we've got Paige on
the line page. What happened in your group chat? What
went down?
Speaker 7 (23:50):
Alrighty, well, my dad sent a dippit to the family
chat group when my grandma was dying.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
The picture was it.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
My grandma was dying and we had a group chat
groups and a priest was in there and it was
just kind of like a well wished fat group were
just organizing everything and my dad's pretty raunch. She his
partner was away, and he was like, I'm gonna put
a piece with her lady underwear on and send her
a you pick sorry sorry pawn sorry page.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
To back it up, your dad put his partner's underwear
on and sent into the Farewell Nana group chat No.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
And he realized that he had sent it to the
wrong group, and he was like, well, I don't know
how to get rid of it, so we just turned
his phone off and went to bed.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
The turning off the phone off is just like well
if I can see no.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
One can see it.
Speaker 7 (24:46):
And we're all different time zones as well around Australia,
so we all woke up to an interesting picture.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Did you guys say anything to him?
Speaker 7 (24:54):
Who were just like whoa dad? And he was like well, whatever,
he doesn't have any shame. He's like, well, then it's
gone whatever.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Oh my god, how do you even recover after seeing
your dad's penis? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
I can't see it.
Speaker 7 (25:07):
You can't just embedded in our brain right now. This
is like a few years ago, and Grandma didn't even die.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
They gave her the wheel to live.
Speaker 7 (25:17):
They came back back.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
From the brink.
Speaker 7 (25:19):
Oh hello, it's hot, toxic of all family chat, group,
family dinners, new partners, meeting my dad. I'm like, yep,
I don't know if it's worse.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
If you just sent just a picture, a penis picture,
or if.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
It was.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
The underwear.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
I don't know which one. I Prefer's the funniest call
we've ever had.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
It's the best.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
All the thoughts and prayers are with you and your grandma.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Thanks for the laws.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
You know, I've got a pretty thick skin.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
I know it's serious when you call me laws.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Sometimes I do call you laws when it's more serious chat.
This is going to be serious, all right'm I've restrapped
in for it strapping. I'm a little bit exasperated, and
I just want to have a little event for a minute.
I've got a thick skin, not a lot bothers me
or gets under my skin. But I have just been
getting the last couple of months, particularly so many messages
(26:16):
and dms and comments on my Instagram about my relationship
with my fiance Ben. So if you don't know, my
fiance lives in another country, he lives in Italy. He
has been living overseas since the day we met, Like
we have never lived together. The most time he's been
together is probably six weeks, and we try to see
each other every two months, and we've been together for
(26:36):
two and a half years, so it's been quite a
long time and we're getting married soon. He also plays football,
which I think has a stereotype attached to it, So
when I say football, I'm in soccer. But the number
of messages I'm getting, especially since we're getting married in
a few months. He had his Bucks party recently of
just people telling me constantly it's never gonna work. Your
(26:56):
relationships doomed before it's gonna start. He's constantly cheating on me,
like this is what they're saying, of course, not what
he's doing. You can't trust him. How are you going
to marry someone that you're not going to live with?
How are you going to marry and then be a
part again, Like why are you doing it? Just so down,
down down down, cheating, cheating, negative, It's over and I'm
just over it. Yes, I agree, my relationship is very different.
(27:19):
It is not a normal mainstream relationship. But why is
that an issue for so many people?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
But these messages come from people who you don't know
and who don't yes your relationship. These are from strangers
on the internet.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
It's not like he's cheating on you.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
I don't have a burner account everyone. It's not very
you know. The thing is is I think people comment
negatively when they see something that they can't understand because
it wouldn't work for them, or because they've had a
horrible experience themselves. Maybe they've been cheated on, maybe they
have trust issues, maybe every relationship they've been in has
ended in a way that that all they can fathom
(27:54):
is that surely that this is not something that could
work out, do you know what I mean? Like, they
can't rationalize it. And I think it's also part and past.
So when you're when you have a public Instagram, we
talk about the intriacies of our life a lot, and
then you open it up to people's public opinions around it.
I'm not saying that those opinions are warranted, and I'm
not saying that they're allowed, like it's so unnecessary and
(28:15):
deeply hurtful. But I think that that's why people think
that they have an allowance to do it. That's why
I think people go, oh, I'm just one person, like
it's not going to affect them. I don't know. I
don't know why people think that that's something that they
should be okay with saying.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Especially when it's like I come from a relationship of
like pretty horrific, like a past or pretty horrific cheating.
I was once with someone for quite a few years
who had a double life. He was marrying someone else simultaneously.
Obviously I didn't know that at the time. But when
you come from a bit of a background of cheating
and I don't have trust issues moving forward and which.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Not crazy, Like it is crazy that you have that
track record of relationships and you've been able to go
into a long distance relationship with like, yeah, I feel secure,
but also I think it comes down to the relationship,
like I know the two of you well, and I
see how you communicate and I see how much effort
the two of you put into making sure that when
you have free time, it's spent together.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Yeah, you should see our phone bill too, I should
see your trifle bill.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
It's even worse.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
That's way worse.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
But you know, I mean I experienced a version of this.
I remember when Matt and I met and we hadn't
been together for that long when I got pregnant with
my first, our first baby, it's his two MALEI and
we weren't engaged, and we'd only just been living together
for a little while, and there were loads of people
online who couldn't fathom that our relationship would work out.
And we're always like, you know, I'd get messages which
(29:31):
was like give it a.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Year, and I could shut up Brad literally.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Margaret, like I reckon. I would have received one of
those sorts of messages a day. And now we're eight
years down the track, got another kid, and like, life
is great. But I think people are negatively geared when
they are unhappy in their own lives. I think that's
what it's a reflection of.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Also, I'm getting married. Let me be happy, let me
be excited, Like I don't want to wake up every
single day and have someone saying, hey, just so you
know he's cheating on you. For sure, you're a moron
if you think he's not doing the dirty. I'm like,
if you knew my fiance, he's at home watching cooking shows.
I have his location. His favorite pastime is cooking shows.
I can see everything he watches. We share a Netflix account,
(30:12):
but that's legal.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
It's very funny Instagram trend that was going around, or
TikTok trend that was going around, which was like, how
I know my husband won't cheat on me? And it's
just only the men like playing World of Warcraft. It's
what it is, being at home doing knitting activities and
stuff like. That's ben. But here's this cooking shows.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
One hundred percent. Anyway, they just wanted to have a ranch,
and I'm.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Like, just let me live.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
We've been talking about a bit of a contentious subject.
I would say here in the break at the pickup,
manifestation that idea of like putting out to the universe
what you want and it bringing you everything that you
need and everything you desire. I personally believe in manifestation,
and Laura, you sort of caught bullshit on it when I.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Talk about I don't caught bullshit on it. I just don't.
I don't necessarily believe that, like thinking good things will
make good things happen. And I've watched The Secret, I've
read the book, and like, I don't know if you
guys know what I'm talking about, but The Secret is
like the there was a very big book and TV
series that came out, or it was like one episode
that came out quite a few years ago, all around manifesting,
(31:15):
and the essence of that was kind of like, think
good things and good things will happen. Think about money
raining down on you and you'll get really wealthy. And
I was just for me, it's just too simple. That's
not what manifestation is. Okay, well, another doing it wrong?
Just why is the money not raining down on me?
Speaker 2 (31:31):
That explains a lot that checks out. Let me give
you this is not an example of manifestation, but this
is what started the conversation. The idea of sometimes willing
something into the universe. But it doesn't always have to
be positive. It could be something that you've thought about
or been talking about or putting that energy out so
many times, so it can be negative. But the other
day when if you've been following along. My dog Delilah
got really, really sick. But that morning, driving to work
(31:53):
with a work colleague, we were talking about the fact.
I was like, do you know what's crazy because we're
talking about dogs and animals and her pet dog when
she was a kid, and I said, you know what's crazy.
I was like, my dog, Delilah, she's four years old.
I said, she has never been sick. I have never
had to take her to the bet, She's never had
anything wrong with her.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
She's been the perfect dog.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
And my friend was like, yeah, that's amazing. Then I
got home from work that day and Delilah, I've never
seen her more sick in my life.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
She was not manifesting. No, that's coincidence, it's not.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
But it is a form of willing something into the
universe and it's not manifesting. But it started the conversation
the idea of like talking about something so crazy and
then it happens. And then producer Gracie, you were saying
you did something crazy the other day too.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Yeah, literally, yesterday I was talking to someone in the office.
I was like, I've never been asked to do jury duty,
and I'd kind of love to do it, and then
I got home that day to a letter telling me
that I'm officially on the jury duty.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Rolls crazy. Hey everyone, I'd really like to win the lotto.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
It doesn't work like that. I just to.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Me, I understand what you're saying, and I understand that
there's situations where people like, don't jinx it, don't say that,
or it might happen.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Yeah, personal jinx.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
But I think that this is a coincidence. More so
with those sorts of situations. I know that it's very unlikely.
The likelihood of that happening might be one in a bazillion. However,
like horrible coincidences and great coincidences happen all the time.
So I'm just kind of think that sometimes we look
for things that validate and like reinforce this idea that
we have more control than we do.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
So don't think you can speak something into an existence. No, Okay,
I did a proper manifestation course years ago. I spent
some time with a monk, learnt so much stuff. Then
I started actually putting it into practice years ago, and
I don't do it so much anymore. Oh, Actually that's
a lie. I did it with my fiance's latest job.
I wrote down exactly what I wanted, which football team
I wanted him to move to, and he moved there. Anyway,
(33:40):
let's backtrack. I'm getting very excited. I believe I manifested
my fiance Ben. I was single for the best part
of eight to ten years, right, Obviously I was dating sporadically,
but I didn't have a serious relationship for a best
part of a decade. And I always used to think
about what I wanted, and when I did this manifestation course,
I wrote down in my notes because a big part
of it is it's not just writing down what you want,
(34:01):
but it's then consciously thinking it. You still work towards it. Still,
it's the putting what you want into existence, like you
still have to work and put effort in This is.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
The thing that I think is the very clear determiner
of Like when you say you can't speak things into existence,
I don't think you can speak things into existence. I
think you can have an intention. You can write that
intention down and then you can focus all your goals
to align to that intention. But that to me is
not just like spontaneously going I want to go on
(34:31):
a holiday to the maul dives and then all of
a sudden, you win one and you're there, like, I
don't think that that's what happens. Well, I wrote, I
think you've got a book the ticket yourself, and then
get your ass to the mout dives and then wow,
that's a coincidence.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
I wrote down years ago when I was thinking about
what partner I wanted. So I wrote down all the
things I wanted in a partner. And you're supposed to
address the universe. You say, dear Universe. You're supposed to
say it like you've got it. So you say thank
you for giving me a loving, trusting, beautiful partner like
you say it like it's already here and you're thanking them.
This is what the rules of manifestation are. And I
(35:02):
wrote this big thing about this amazing partner, and then
at the end I wrote, and I don't know why
I wrote this, but I found this, like a year ago.
I wrote, thank you for giving me my partner B.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Because your name's Brittany, no initial.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
No, my partner with the I put the bee for
his name, and I don't know why, and I don't
know where, but I just put a bee. I forgot
I even wrote it, and I just found it when
I was going back looking at manifestation notes, and I
was like, my fiance's name is Ben. I manifested Ben
years ago. I don't care what anyone says, that was
the manifestation I I am.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
This hasn't convinced me. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
You just said you sort of thought you manifested your
Maddie Ja your husband.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Yeah, but I'm different to that though. When I say
I don't mean manifested in the way of like thinking
it that it happened. You guys know, we had a
moment where we met prior, so we had like a
real moment in a chemistry prior to being on the Bachelor,
and then I think it was a massive coincidence that
he was there and that he was the person who
was the Bachelor. But I think it was like the
(36:05):
fact that I was in there that I was like
very intented in staying that. I very much in my
head was like I'm going to end up with this person.
That would be my definition of saying, Okay, I manifested
that in happening, because but in the same way, I'm like,
is it or isn't it. I just like I set
my eyes on a goal, and I achieved my goal,
and in that case, the goal was my husband, and
(36:25):
here we are. I don't know. I think I am.
I think I am.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
But that's not a mystics it's synic.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
It's not to say that I'm not and can't be
positive about these things. And I'm sure that there are
so many people who have really incredibly positive manifestation stories.
I think the reason why I feel so unsure about
it is because there's so many people who have really
challenging lives and really horrible things happen. And I don't
think that those things happen because they're not good enough
at manifesting themselves out of it. Of course not. So
(36:53):
that's why I'm I kind of it's not a good
enough solution for me, if that makes sense. Well, it's not.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
It's not my solution for world peace. That's not what
the conversation is here.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Today, anyway. I'm if that's serious?
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Do you know what it is? It's what I will say,
because I know there'll be people in the car listening
being like, this is a crazy conversation. For sure, it
is crazy, and it's definitely not like I want to
be rich and I want it to come. But it's
the idea of once you think something into existence, like
you write it down, then you tend to think about
it more. You look at it every day, it's in
your mind, and then you start to focus on opportunities
more that might put you in the right direction. So
(37:26):
it's definitely a flow on effect.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
It's a fancy way of having goals. I think, Yeah,
This episode was recorded on cameragle Land. Hi guys, and
welcome back to another episode of Life. I'm cut, I'm.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Laura, I'm Brittany.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
It was your big week, was it?
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Well?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Yeah, the dummy Fairy come.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
But that's the whole I can't talk about that though,
so are talked about it on the podcast. I know it was,
and then I felt so light on for personal stories
to talk about. I also talked about it on radio.
It's taken over my life, that's what happens. The dummy fairy.
That's okay, she's coming. She did come, as you guys know,
and we are dummy free household now.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
But I'll update you guys like you know next properly probably,
But it was very exciting. It was your birthday as well,
but we spoke about that as well. Well, you are
dragging that out low, Laura. We have another dinner for
you this week. Likes, that's been quite a long process
this birthday.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
That's okay. I feel like.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
As you's okay, she says, yeah, as you.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Reach, as you get closer and closer to forty, I
feel like I'm at least entitled to a couple of
days of celebration.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yeah, I feel like most people don't go to OTT
for thirty nine because I didn't go OTT.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
I just took talked about it on one episode and
then went out for one dinner. Just was a week late.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, it's just because you're a bit depresso, so we
did have to double down. Well, she really needs something,
all right.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Well, look, guys, if you haven't figured it out, this
is the pick Up, which is our radio show, all
the best bits from radio. We packed it up and
bring it here for you so that you don't have
to listen to radio if you don't want to, you
could just listen to it easily here.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
And we did have the beautiful Jessica Molboy in studio
this week. We love her. We've spoken to it quite
a few times over the years. She's such like this
little ray of sunshine.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Well, she's just had a baby, baby Mia, and she's
been she's been super private about it, but she shared
kind of what that experience was like finding out that
she was pregnant. And also, I mean she's the epitome
of this, like how do you juggle an incredibly successful
career alongside new motherhood and at the same time launching
new businesses? Like, it's crazy, it's inspiring, but also it
(01:48):
seems like she's definitely got a hands full. And we
also talked about group chat mishaps.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
This was funny.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
It was it comes off the back of what happened
with the Donald Trump administration the group chat, which is
not funny, it's terrible, but how they had a group
chat going around that they accidentally added a journalist too.
If you don't know what we're talking about, google it.
There's a lot to it. But we wanted to know
what were your group chat mishaps, and we had potentially
the funniest call we've ever had on the pickup. Her
(02:16):
name was Paige. She's also a lifer, and holy dick.
Literally it was a great, great group chat mishap.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
And I don't know how I was viscerally uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I don't know how they ever recovered. So that's all
coming up next.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Well, it's been a very big week for our very
own Australian seer like super singer songwriter seer. Wow, that
was a lot of alliteration. I didn't even mean to
do chandelier. Yeah, I guess that was different lead of it.
I'm the same sound I wasn't trying to make it
a literation. I was actually just trying to you know. Yeah, anyway,
I'll sing it for you everyone.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Well, firstly, this.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Is not funny. She has filed foot divorce from her husband, David.
She's been married for two years, but it just came
out this week that she's divorced. Secondly, the name of
her child has been announced. I don't know if you've
heard this, Laura, do you know what Sea has named
her tribe.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I did see this, and now I've forgotten what was it?
Something terrible Somersault, wonder No, no Somersault like gymnastic move Somersault.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
You can't wonder one like wonder woman.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
It's funny because like I remember when Gwyneth Paltrow named
her the oldest Apple, and everyone thought that was real wacky,
and now Apple's just superstandard.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
And then there's like you were Somersault, you'd be frothing
if your name was Apple. Anyway, That's not what I
wanted to talk to you about. What I wanted to
talk to you about is like the crazy rumors that
celebrities have to face. Sea finally has this week put
one of her wildest rumors to bed have listened. What
is the craziest rumor you've heard about yourself? That I
(03:43):
was living in Beyonce's facement.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
So there's bit of r that guy was that Gollum.
It's doing the interview.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Very American, very energetic interviewer. But it's been going around
since twenty fifteen that Sea lived in Beyonce's basement. And
I wouldn't have put this room in to bed either.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I would love for.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
People to think, for eight years, I've been living in
with Beyonce.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
If anyone's going to have a nice basement, it's Beyonce,
like she's that's not that's not a regular person's basement.
That could be a full apartment.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Could you imagine it would be bigger than my house?
The rumors like, that's a good rumor. I was thinking
about Avril Levine, you know, the rumor that she's dead,
that she's been replaced by a fake woman that just
looks like her.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Joanne mcdally did a whole podcast around the rumors. If
you don't know, she's a very funny Irish comedian. She
did a whole podcast series around the rumors that Avril
Levine is not really a living anymore. What her name is?
Is it Levine Levine Levine or she's yeah, she's I
don't think she's definite. I don't think she's alive. It's
the guy from Room five or whatever it is, Adam Levine.
(04:42):
Is that.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Wow? I'm wow? Yeah, First the.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Name is Levine, and I'm starting that rumor because I
don't know any celebrities names. The only rumor, sorry, just
the way.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
That you were trying to really just like you know what,
I was getting mixed.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Up with Adam Levine. Not shut up. The only rumor that.
I mean, I'm not a big enough celebrity for people
to make rumors about me. I don't think anyone cares.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
You've got loads of rumors. What do I have. There's
a whole thread called Laura Burn's rumors. No, it's not
meant that.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
There was a rumor that I was pregnant when I
wasn't pregnant. That was a really nice article to face.
The other one was when Matt and I first met.
So I met my husband on the Bachelor, and when
we very first met, there was a rumor that came
out that we already knew each other, and that the
whole thing was a setup, and that like it was
orchestrated for me to win the show, and that we
were always going to be together, like we had a
(05:36):
secret act. That's what came out and that wasn't true.
That comes out on every single Bachelor season.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
You guys did make eyes in the sauna. You had
seen each other beforehand, and we.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Are still in contract, so like, that's why we're still
together and have two children.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
You have the ten new contract the room that I
think about, which I use it to my advantage sometimes
sometimes it was detrimental. But there was a rumor and it.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Was it was on Google. Wasn't a rumor? Yes it was.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
It's not true.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
On Google.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
If you typed in my name, the first article that
would come up is Britney Hockley's net worth and it
said that it was I was worth two hundred and
seventy five million dollars.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I don't know where this came from. I've know Britney
very well and have known her for a long time.
I would just like to say that I know that
that is absolutely untrue.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Nothing not even close. But when I started dating my
filmce Ben, I know the first thing that you do
because I also do it is google each other. Like
when you start dating someone, you don't even have to
be famous to do that. You do get due diligence,
criminal criminal records. I want to know everything. I want
to know what's been going on in your life one
hundred percent. So I did my Google on Ben his
he lived overseas, and he did his Google on me,
(06:35):
and I knew. I was like, Oh, no, he thinks
I'm loaded because we just like hooked up for a weekend.
I was like, he thinks I'm worth so much.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Money, and I wonder he wanted to keep dating you
after you guys had one hangs and bangs. That's what
I said.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
But we didn't have this conversation for a couple of
weeks and then I said to him, Hey, I need
to talk to you because he lives overseas and He's
like what, And I said, I think I've realized why
you're so interested in me, because I was like in
my head, I was like, this guy barely knows me,
he doesn't live in the country. Why is he chasing
me so hard? And I was like, he thinks he's
hit the jackpot. And I had to have a conversation
with him about like, I know you would have giggled
(07:10):
me and you would have seen my net worth and
he's like, yeah, I absolutely did. And I said, well,
I like, I think that you're dating me for that
reason and I need to know that that's not true.
I don't earn that money and he goes Brittany, I
thought that for about twenty four hours until I saw
your apartment.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
He's like, he's like, I'm not with you for your money.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
I hate to break to you.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
And I was like, great, then we can continue on.
It was real love.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Oh, well, I'm very happy for you.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, what not for the twenty and seventy five minutes.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
No, I'm actually devastated to you. Now we have an
icon in the studio, Australian icon singer, amazing mum. Literally
everything you can do. And Jess, it's so wonderful to
have you back here. But your life has been so good.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
You haven't said who's in the studio.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
It's Jess amount of why everybody.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I was a strange intro. I'm like, tell.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
Everyone he's here.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Oh, we've been talking about it. Also, you have been
honestly the busiest woman the last six months. You have
started your new skincare label and you just had a
baby baby. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
It has been I mean, the last three years itself
has been really wild. Creating Desert Rose, the company and
the brand, and bringing an amazing team together to bring
this incredible SBA fifty plus hydrating face serum. That was
something that I guess in my life I've always wanted
to do. You know, music has always come first, along
(08:33):
with family being out on the road, you know, and
I always imagine myself being a mother as well, you know,
mothering internally to my nieces and nephews. I guess all
round has been a big change, particularly with creating Desert Rose,
but also quite magical with birthing baby Mia.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
So yeah, doing it all at once was a choice.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
That was it just happened.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
And I think as music giars and developing music, I
almost had to look at it that way. Whereas I
was just going on with life, making music, writing the story,
extracting things from my experience and my journey and people
that I've met along the way, And I think life
sometimes happens that way, and for me it was happening
that way. It was just going I was meeting and
(09:20):
showing up for it and immersing myself in it as well,
I think is the word which was making me happy.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Did you feel as though you wanted to have a
pivot from music and creating a company and becoming a
businesswoman or do you feel as though this is something
you want to run alongside and do it together.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Yeah, it was definitely on the outside of music that
I was doing. It was I guess I love smelling things.
Let's just go there for a second, but it's not
so good. I'm one of those people like to like
something and the smell has to make me feel good.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
So do you just sniff baby me all the time now?
Because everyone's how few born.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Babies like these?
Speaker 2 (10:01):
You want to eat them.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
It is a bit like that. I tend to gaze
at her a lot. Every day is just looking at her,
and I find I'm seeing myself like I'm looking in
the mirror. It's kind of scary, Like I would look
at her and I'm like, WHOA, that's me, you know,
Or her head shaped that way, or the way her
hairline is kind of growing, or the way she's like
(10:24):
frowning or smiling in her sleep, Like there's those kind
of things that make me kind of be an awe
of life.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Has becoming a mum been what you expected it to
be or has it been different.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Ups and downs like of it?
Speaker 4 (10:38):
You know, I hear my sisters and see my sisters
how they're developing and growing their children.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
But I think, personally, yeah, it is different.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
It is different to how I've I'm taking it on
and I think space with me has been a really
big thing and has allowed me to really enjoy the
process of just doing it how I intuitive think. I
need to do it with all the right guidance and
the information, and you know, what feels right is right.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
It's so hard like some people seem to just naturally
take to it. I think I was very much a learner,
like I got better hazard as time went on, but
it didn't feel super intuitive to me, I don't think.
But also I do think when I had my first baby,
I was trying to do everything still as though I
didn't have a kid, Like I was still working full
(11:28):
time and like trying to socialize and well, it seems
as though like you've taken some real time for yourself
in this little bit. I know that you've just launched
this business, but has music taken a little bit of
a back burner at the moment, like what's your plan
for music now?
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Yeah, well during the whole pregnancy.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
So last year, when I found out in April, I
was just on the back end of my tour and
so that's when I really felt, all something feels different,
like crazy, I'm coming off more exhausted, like I'm literally
on all fours just like panting and trying to catch my.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
Breath, and so it was quite scary.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
But also I was like, oh wow, I need to
go into my GP.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
We'll take a.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Pregnancy test really and it wasn't showing up, and so
I thought it was really it was really really early.
But that kind of really spun me into a spiral
and I didn't know if I needed to tell my
team or just that kind of thing that's managing it
and then feeling a little bit self conscious like about
the whole thing. But it was two three weeks later
(12:32):
I tried again. I literally bought I think five boxers
went away, but I just tried to just kind of
be patient, and yeah, it was like literally the fourth
week I tried it, it was faint and I was like, Okay,
I need to book myself into the GP.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Went to the GP and.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
She's like congratulations. She was like, oh wow, and I
just sat there. It was almost like I was had
out of body experience and then I came back into
my body and I was like, yes.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I think yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
I wasn't quite sure, and I was just surprised and
happy and overwhelmed. And how am I going to tell family?
And you know, what's that going to be like? And
he's always wanted to be a father, so that was
something I knew was going to be really excited about,
but how was he going to you know, take it?
And when I did express it to him, yeah, he
(13:28):
was in tears, like he was really he was really overjoyed,
you know, and ready. I think he was just already ready, Okay,
what do I need to do? Like when's the appointment?
What do we need a book?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Like?
Speaker 5 (13:40):
What do we need to buy?
Speaker 4 (13:41):
And I was like, I don't know, Bob, I'm in
this for the first time, so let's just let's just
see how it goes. You know, I think I might
be having some emotional things that are coming up, and
so I've got to manage that first.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
And then sorry, how is your I'm always fascinated by this.
Also this someone that doesn't have kids, that doesn't know
when or what I'm going to do. But how did
your birth plan if you had one, differ from when
the time actually came.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
I didn't have a plan. At first.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
I was like, maybe I should have a plan, but
I got so overwhelmed that I just completely threw out
the plan. I was like, I'm going to be open.
I don't know what it's going to be like, I
don't know how my body's going to react. I'm just
hoping that Bubba's really nurtured in there, bubbs going to
be okay, and that if I just maybe if I
(14:32):
remain calm and give myself some really good and you know,
happi end orphans, then it might just you know, it
might run smooth and you know, Bubba will grow. So
that's kind of how I kept thinking about it and
processing it, not having visualized or seeing bub yet. So
(14:53):
I think as I got closer to doing like the ultrasounds,
and when I actually seen the little bean, the little bug,
I was like, oh wow, you know, and learning that
you could know the gender at that point, I was like, okay,
this is a lot. I'm just gonna step back and
not yeah, not to try and think about it too much,
but I think because you're always feeling, it's just there.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Well, most people have like a playlist that they birth to.
Did you yourself.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Good question, though, because the funny thing was, I just
released the Yours Forever records, so I was not only touring,
I was promoting the records, so I was listening to
myself good. I was literally singing my songs, singing the stories,
being on different stages in front of different people, and
just absorbing, you know, all the good stuff that music
(15:49):
makes me feel. And I just tried to keep working
and not think about it too much. And I really
didn't have a birth plan. I didn't we didn't do
the we had dimming love, but that was just the
hospital life.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
It just turned them down.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Just imagine your baby coming out into the world to
like it's obviously heard you talk the whole time, but
to listening, and it could have been worse. Imagine if
you were the artist of Like my Neck.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Girl, Like a Girl.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
That's funny.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
That's funny that you mentioned.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
That because I was breaking my back in the hospital.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
Like when I wasn't having contractions.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
I was walking up and down and doing like back crumps,
like I was literally just trying to buy time because
those contractions were real, They are real.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
You didn't have drugs, did you.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
I didn't have any drugs.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
I didn't want to be a hero and I didn't
want to be like you know, but if it got
really worse and I just couldn't handle it, there was
that kind of look to them and them would be like, Okay,
she needs something. But it was right at the end
that I gave the last two pushes. I did end
up tearing a bit on the wall, and that's when
(17:01):
I thought I would try.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
The gas, but it like it was literally to two stitches.
Like I was like, I'm going to try it because
if someone asked me, like did I.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Have any drugs?
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Lazy?
Speaker 5 (17:16):
I had two puffs.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
That's what I had. You're allowed to say you didn't
have jobs Like that's not touching the.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
Song, right, that's so crazy.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
But eventually, right, I just thought to myself, I cheated
at the end, right.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Yeah, there's no judgment here. You. I literally got into
hot and I was like give me the menu, thank you,
like Laurie, you're not and I was like, I don't care.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I'll take the opioids.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Chest. Your beautiful new skincare that you've launched. Why was
it an SCA fifty plus that you wanted to bring out.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Yeah. So the story behind that was growing up in
the Northern Territory was something that I really loved. I
loved my childhood, but I didn't realize the impact of
the sun and the UV and in Dah and the
humidity and the heat and a lot of the time
overcast due to the weather. I didn't wasn't really educated
(18:09):
on that, and so I really wanted to now in
my adulthood years, is to roll model how important your
skin is. You know, you only have one skin and
the UV never rests, and so that's not along the
way teaming up with amazing people who had the knowledge,
who had the science background, who worked in the skin industry,
(18:31):
talking with them, you know, understanding how it worked. I
really wanted to roll model that, you know, your skin
is important, particularly for my community, you know, and people
who potentially tan that don't know the background of how
a damaging that could cause your skin.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
So I also think it's like there's so much misinformation
because I would say that a lot of people would
just assume, especially having indigenous skin, like, right, it's got
such beautiful dark skin, that there's some natural protection in that, right,
And that might be the case to some extent. One
in three Australians will be diagnosed with skins.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Which is so skinny.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Difference is that out of curiosity, Like skin cancer rates
in indigenous skin.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Is skin like, it is the same and it penetrates
exactly the same, So there is no difference in that, Like, yes,
it probably absorbs differently at some level, but down the
road you're still, yeah, you still need to protect.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Do you have any plans to expand this range and
to be like a whole entire pole.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
That was kind of like the dream of it, a
hero product that made me feel nourished and protected and
also that I could wear date and night. You know,
I'm constantly under the lights on stage, you know, so
I what is something that you know was a skin
barrier but also made me feel good. It didn't stick
my eyes. We all know that feeling. But also that
(19:54):
kind of worked with my tone, and that could work
with all tones and all skins. So this is something
that I really wanted to be a forefront in people's minds,
young people. To protect your skin, you know, also cover up,
you know, and also feel good glowy hydrate, Take care
of your skin, take care of your body and enjoy it,
(20:15):
you know, as simple as that.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
The very first thing I did when you hand it
to us was like opened it and smelt it's I'm
the same, and it smells incredible smells earlier. How it
was like amazing. The packaging is so beautiful. Just congratulations,
it's phenomenal. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
I look forward to, you know, people feeling good in
their skin and enjoying it and having fun with it
as much as I have.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I was really hoping you would have brought baby Mirror
in here, but she's in the factory work and got
her little hands going, absolutely thriving.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Congrats on motherhood.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Congrats on the business. Like literally everything you do turns
to gold, I should say, like even your packaging is gold.
It's actually really incredible. But we love to see it if.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Everyone does it. Row It's just launched. You can find
out more at Desert Roseaustralia dot com. Congrats, Babue, big love.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Okay, today we're talking about group chat mishaps. Now I
shouldn't have wet myself laughing, because it's actually really bad.
We're very detrimental to the world's politics. But this, for me,
this news article was the funniest thing I've read in
a long time. So Trump's administration has accidentally added an
American journalist from the Atlantic into their group chat where
(21:29):
they are talking openly about war plans.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yeah, but it's not funny. They're talking about bombing Yemen. No,
you can't say it's the fust.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
That's not funny.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
The funny thing very funny.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
No, for me, the funny thing is I think Donald
Trump and his administration are dumb. So that's where I
think it's funny. I'm like, how have you accidentally added
someone in a journalist of all people, somebody whose job
it is to report on this, How you've accidently added
them into a group chat where you are openly talking
about who, when, how, why You're going to bomb people?
I actually cannot believe that this has gone Some things.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Just should never go down in a group chat. Some
things are not meant to be in a group chat.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Yes, something shouldn't be in a group chat. But the
funniest part is how you accidentally have added someone to
a group chat, or you've accidentally sent something to a
group chat that you didn't even know you were in,
or you've entered the wrong chat. I remember it was
actually only a couple of weeks ago. I'm in a
group chat with my fiancee Ben, my brother in law Jay,
and my sister Sherry. Ben sent like a selfie of
himself and he had no shirt on and he'd just
(22:22):
finished training his overseas because we don't see each other.
He just sent a selfie and he's like, miss you,
and he sent it to the chat.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
But it was supposed to.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Just beat to meat, but he said as the group chat,
and all of a sudden, my brother in law's writing
back being like miss you two baby, like look look.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
In a hand. It's easy to do, especially when everyone
has a million different group chats open, Like I mean,
poor jd Vance just had fifteen group chats and he
sent the wrong thing and added the wrong journalists. Like,
you know, can you blame the guy? Yes, he needs
the sack. Do you know what happened? Okay, give us
a call if you've had a group chat mishap yourself.
We want to hear about it. I'm sure it is
not as bad as this one. But my sister in
law had her second baby, I think it was, and
(22:56):
her husband had taken a photo of the baby, but
in the background was my sister in law in the
after birth, still in the position of birthing, like the
baby had beef come out.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
It's see things you probably shouldn't need.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Yeah, And he sent that to my mother in law
so like to her mom to say, you know, congratulations.
Now he did the next baby. She then sent that
on to the entire family group chat because she was
so excited that the baby was in the world, not
realizing what was happening in the background of that photo.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
So she literally just folded on a nude There was.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
A gaping wound in the background, and she was like, here,
it is to be fair.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Your sister in law at that point probably didn't even care.
She was probably like, I literally just birthed a child.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
She's got all brothers. I think she did care. I
think she didn't want them to all see that.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Because that depends, well, I don't think the brothers are
going to be like zooming in.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
I hope they're not. Well, look, we've got Paige on
the line page. What happened in your group chat? What
went down?
Speaker 7 (23:50):
Alrighty, well, my dad sent a dippit to the family
chat group when my grandma was dying.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
The picture was it.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
My grandma was dying and we had a group chat
groups and a priest was in there and it was
just kind of like a well wished fat group were
just organizing everything and my dad's pretty raunch. She his
partner was away, and he was like, I'm gonna put
a piece with her lady underwear on and send her
a you pick sorry sorry pawn sorry page.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
To back it up, your dad put his partner's underwear
on and sent into the Farewell Nana group chat No.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
And he realized that he had sent it to the
wrong group, and he was like, well, I don't know
how to get rid of it, so we just turned
his phone off and went to bed.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
The turning off the phone off is just like well
if I can see no.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
One can see it.
Speaker 7 (24:46):
And we're all different time zones as well around Australia,
so we all woke up to an interesting picture.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Did you guys say anything to him?
Speaker 7 (24:54):
Who were just like whoa dad? And he was like well, whatever,
he doesn't have any shame. He's like, well, then it's
gone whatever.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Oh my god, how do you even recover after seeing
your dad's penis? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
I can't see it.
Speaker 7 (25:07):
You can't just embedded in our brain right now. This
is like a few years ago, and Grandma didn't even die.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
They gave her the wheel to live.
Speaker 7 (25:17):
They came back back.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
From the brink.
Speaker 7 (25:19):
Oh hello, it's hot, toxic of all family chat, group,
family dinners, new partners, meeting my dad. I'm like, yep,
I don't know if it's worse.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
If you just sent just a picture, a penis picture,
or if.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
It was.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
The underwear.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
I don't know which one. I Prefer's the funniest call
we've ever had.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
It's the best.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
All the thoughts and prayers are with you and your grandma.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Thanks for the laws.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
You know, I've got a pretty thick skin.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
I know it's serious when you call me laws.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Sometimes I do call you laws when it's more serious chat.
This is going to be serious, all right'm I've restrapped
in for it strapping. I'm a little bit exasperated, and
I just want to have a little event for a minute.
I've got a thick skin, not a lot bothers me
or gets under my skin. But I have just been
getting the last couple of months, particularly so many messages
(26:16):
and dms and comments on my Instagram about my relationship
with my fiance Ben. So if you don't know, my
fiance lives in another country, he lives in Italy. He
has been living overseas since the day we met, Like
we have never lived together. The most time he's been
together is probably six weeks, and we try to see
each other every two months, and we've been together for
(26:36):
two and a half years, so it's been quite a
long time and we're getting married soon. He also plays football,
which I think has a stereotype attached to it, So
when I say football, I'm in soccer. But the number
of messages I'm getting, especially since we're getting married in
a few months. He had his Bucks party recently of
just people telling me constantly it's never gonna work. Your
(26:56):
relationships doomed before it's gonna start. He's constantly cheating on me,
like this is what they're saying, of course, not what
he's doing. You can't trust him. How are you going
to marry someone that you're not going to live with?
How are you going to marry and then be a
part again, Like why are you doing it? Just so down,
down down down, cheating, cheating, negative, It's over and I'm
just over it. Yes, I agree, my relationship is very different.
(27:19):
It is not a normal mainstream relationship. But why is
that an issue for so many people?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
But these messages come from people who you don't know
and who don't yes your relationship. These are from strangers
on the internet.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
It's not like he's cheating on you.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
I don't have a burner account everyone. It's not very
you know. The thing is is I think people comment
negatively when they see something that they can't understand because
it wouldn't work for them, or because they've had a
horrible experience themselves. Maybe they've been cheated on, maybe they
have trust issues, maybe every relationship they've been in has
ended in a way that that all they can fathom
(27:54):
is that surely that this is not something that could
work out, do you know what I mean? Like, they
can't rationalize it. And I think it's also part and past.
So when you're when you have a public Instagram, we
talk about the intriacies of our life a lot, and
then you open it up to people's public opinions around it.
I'm not saying that those opinions are warranted, and I'm
not saying that they're allowed, like it's so unnecessary and
(28:15):
deeply hurtful. But I think that that's why people think
that they have an allowance to do it. That's why
I think people go, oh, I'm just one person, like
it's not going to affect them. I don't know. I
don't know why people think that that's something that they
should be okay with saying.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Especially when it's like I come from a relationship of
like pretty horrific, like a past or pretty horrific cheating.
I was once with someone for quite a few years
who had a double life. He was marrying someone else simultaneously.
Obviously I didn't know that at the time. But when
you come from a bit of a background of cheating
and I don't have trust issues moving forward and which.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Not crazy, Like it is crazy that you have that
track record of relationships and you've been able to go
into a long distance relationship with like, yeah, I feel secure,
but also I think it comes down to the relationship,
like I know the two of you well, and I
see how you communicate and I see how much effort
the two of you put into making sure that when
you have free time, it's spent together.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Yeah, you should see our phone bill too, I should
see your trifle bill.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
It's even worse.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
That's way worse.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
But you know, I mean I experienced a version of this.
I remember when Matt and I met and we hadn't
been together for that long when I got pregnant with
my first, our first baby, it's his two MALEI and
we weren't engaged, and we'd only just been living together
for a little while, and there were loads of people
online who couldn't fathom that our relationship would work out.
And we're always like, you know, I'd get messages which
(29:31):
was like give it a.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Year, and I could shut up Brad literally.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Margaret, like I reckon. I would have received one of
those sorts of messages a day. And now we're eight
years down the track, got another kid, and like, life
is great. But I think people are negatively geared when
they are unhappy in their own lives. I think that's
what it's a reflection of.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Also, I'm getting married. Let me be happy, let me
be excited, Like I don't want to wake up every
single day and have someone saying, hey, just so you
know he's cheating on you. For sure, you're a moron
if you think he's not doing the dirty. I'm like,
if you knew my fiance, he's at home watching cooking shows.
I have his location. His favorite pastime is cooking shows.
I can see everything he watches. We share a Netflix account,
(30:12):
but that's legal.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
It's very funny Instagram trend that was going around, or
TikTok trend that was going around, which was like, how
I know my husband won't cheat on me? And it's
just only the men like playing World of Warcraft. It's
what it is, being at home doing knitting activities and
stuff like. That's ben. But here's this cooking shows.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
One hundred percent. Anyway, they just wanted to have a ranch,
and I'm.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Like, just let me live.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
We've been talking about a bit of a contentious subject.
I would say here in the break at the pickup,
manifestation that idea of like putting out to the universe
what you want and it bringing you everything that you
need and everything you desire. I personally believe in manifestation,
and Laura, you sort of caught bullshit on it when I.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Talk about I don't caught bullshit on it. I just don't.
I don't necessarily believe that, like thinking good things will
make good things happen. And I've watched The Secret, I've
read the book, and like, I don't know if you
guys know what I'm talking about, but The Secret is
like the there was a very big book and TV
series that came out, or it was like one episode
that came out quite a few years ago, all around manifesting,
(31:15):
and the essence of that was kind of like, think
good things and good things will happen. Think about money
raining down on you and you'll get really wealthy. And
I was just for me, it's just too simple. That's
not what manifestation is. Okay, well, another doing it wrong?
Just why is the money not raining down on me?
Speaker 2 (31:31):
That explains a lot that checks out. Let me give
you this is not an example of manifestation, but this
is what started the conversation. The idea of sometimes willing
something into the universe. But it doesn't always have to
be positive. It could be something that you've thought about
or been talking about or putting that energy out so
many times, so it can be negative. But the other
day when if you've been following along. My dog Delilah
got really, really sick. But that morning, driving to work
(31:53):
with a work colleague, we were talking about the fact.
I was like, do you know what's crazy because we're
talking about dogs and animals and her pet dog when
she was a kid, and I said, you know what's crazy.
I was like, my dog, Delilah, she's four years old.
I said, she has never been sick. I have never
had to take her to the bet, She's never had
anything wrong with her.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
She's been the perfect dog.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
And my friend was like, yeah, that's amazing. Then I
got home from work that day and Delilah, I've never
seen her more sick in my life.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
She was not manifesting. No, that's coincidence, it's not.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
But it is a form of willing something into the
universe and it's not manifesting. But it started the conversation
the idea of like talking about something so crazy and
then it happens. And then producer Gracie, you were saying
you did something crazy the other day too.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Yeah, literally, yesterday I was talking to someone in the office.
I was like, I've never been asked to do jury duty,
and I'd kind of love to do it, and then
I got home that day to a letter telling me
that I'm officially on the jury duty.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Rolls crazy. Hey everyone, I'd really like to win the lotto.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
It doesn't work like that. I just to.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Me, I understand what you're saying, and I understand that
there's situations where people like, don't jinx it, don't say that,
or it might happen.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Yeah, personal jinx.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
But I think that this is a coincidence. More so
with those sorts of situations. I know that it's very unlikely.
The likelihood of that happening might be one in a bazillion. However,
like horrible coincidences and great coincidences happen all the time.
So I'm just kind of think that sometimes we look
for things that validate and like reinforce this idea that
we have more control than we do.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
So don't think you can speak something into an existence. No, Okay,
I did a proper manifestation course years ago. I spent
some time with a monk, learnt so much stuff. Then
I started actually putting it into practice years ago, and
I don't do it so much anymore. Oh, Actually that's
a lie. I did it with my fiance's latest job.
I wrote down exactly what I wanted, which football team
I wanted him to move to, and he moved there. Anyway,
(33:40):
let's backtrack. I'm getting very excited. I believe I manifested
my fiance Ben. I was single for the best part
of eight to ten years, right, Obviously I was dating sporadically,
but I didn't have a serious relationship for a best
part of a decade. And I always used to think
about what I wanted, and when I did this manifestation course,
I wrote down in my notes because a big part
of it is it's not just writing down what you want,
(34:01):
but it's then consciously thinking it. You still work towards it. Still,
it's the putting what you want into existence, like you
still have to work and put effort in This is.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
The thing that I think is the very clear determiner
of Like when you say you can't speak things into existence,
I don't think you can speak things into existence. I
think you can have an intention. You can write that
intention down and then you can focus all your goals
to align to that intention. But that to me is
not just like spontaneously going I want to go on
(34:31):
a holiday to the maul dives and then all of
a sudden, you win one and you're there, like, I
don't think that that's what happens. Well, I wrote, I
think you've got a book the ticket yourself, and then
get your ass to the mout dives and then wow,
that's a coincidence.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
I wrote down years ago when I was thinking about
what partner I wanted. So I wrote down all the
things I wanted in a partner. And you're supposed to
address the universe. You say, dear Universe. You're supposed to
say it like you've got it. So you say thank
you for giving me a loving, trusting, beautiful partner like
you say it like it's already here and you're thanking them.
This is what the rules of manifestation are. And I
(35:02):
wrote this big thing about this amazing partner, and then
at the end I wrote, and I don't know why
I wrote this, but I found this, like a year ago.
I wrote, thank you for giving me my partner B.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Because your name's Brittany, no initial.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
No, my partner with the I put the bee for
his name, and I don't know why, and I don't
know where, but I just put a bee. I forgot
I even wrote it, and I just found it when
I was going back looking at manifestation notes, and I
was like, my fiance's name is Ben. I manifested Ben
years ago. I don't care what anyone says, that was
the manifestation I I am.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
This hasn't convinced me. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
You just said you sort of thought you manifested your
Maddie Ja your husband.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Yeah, but I'm different to that though. When I say
I don't mean manifested in the way of like thinking
it that it happened. You guys know, we had a
moment where we met prior, so we had like a
real moment in a chemistry prior to being on the Bachelor,
and then I think it was a massive coincidence that
he was there and that he was the person who
was the Bachelor. But I think it was like the
(36:05):
fact that I was in there that I was like
very intented in staying that. I very much in my
head was like I'm going to end up with this person.
That would be my definition of saying, Okay, I manifested
that in happening, because but in the same way, I'm like,
is it or isn't it. I just like I set
my eyes on a goal, and I achieved my goal,
and in that case, the goal was my husband, and
(36:25):
here we are. I don't know. I think I am.
I think I am.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
But that's not a mystics it's synic.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
It's not to say that I'm not and can't be
positive about these things. And I'm sure that there are
so many people who have really incredibly positive manifestation stories.
I think the reason why I feel so unsure about
it is because there's so many people who have really
challenging lives and really horrible things happen. And I don't
think that those things happen because they're not good enough
at manifesting themselves out of it. Of course not. So
(36:53):
that's why I'm I kind of it's not a good
enough solution for me, if that makes sense. Well, it's not.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
It's not my solution for world peace. That's not what
the conversation is here.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Today, anyway. I'm if that's serious?
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Do you know what it is? It's what I will say,
because I know there'll be people in the car listening
being like, this is a crazy conversation. For sure, it
is crazy, and it's definitely not like I want to
be rich and I want it to come. But it's
the idea of once you think something into existence, like
you write it down, then you tend to think about
it more. You look at it every day, it's in
your mind, and then you start to focus on opportunities
more that might put you in the right direction. So
(37:26):
it's definitely a flow on effect.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
It's a fancy way of having goals. I think, Yeah,
