Speaker 1 (00:00):
This episode was recorded on Cameragle Land. Hi guys, and
a welcome back to another episode of Life on Cut.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm Laura and unfortunately Brute is not here because we
made a little bit of a booboo on this episode.
Well look, it is our radio episode, so the episode
itself actually has no booboo, but the intro we forgot
to hit record and it does not happen often, but
when it does, let me tell you, it puts a
real spanner in the works. So basically, if you are
(00:31):
new to the podcast, this is our radio show, the
pickup where we package up all the best bits from
what's been on radio this week. In case you're someone
who doesn't listen to radio, you can listen to.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
It right here.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
But normally, normally on like a Thursday, we sit down
and we do like a little intro for this episode
together when we're in studio, And yeah, that didn't really
go to plan this week. I thought this week was
such a fun bunch of shows. Some of it was
particularly Rogue, almost as Rogue is this intro, but we
also had one really important conversation with Tully smythe You
(01:03):
might remember Tully from Big Brother. She's also got quite
a big social media presence still, but she wrote a
really incredible piece which was published in El magazine over
Mother's Day, and it was all around dementia and dealing
with the grief and the grief around Mother's Day with
a loss of her mum, who died of early on
set dementia when she was only in her sixties. If
(01:26):
you or anyone in your family has ever been touched
by dementia, then you would know just how hard it
is the grief of losing someone when they're still alive.
And I think Tully captured that so incredibly beautifully in
her piece that she wrote. It was so wonderful to
speak to her on the radio show about this, because
dementia is something that just doesn't get any attention. It's
(01:46):
not pretty, it's not something that gets media focus, and
I think often we attribute it to people who are
quite elderly, and in Tully's experience, it's completely changed the
trajectory of her life. She lost her mom so young.
But there is a lot in this show, some very
silly stuff also some very deep stuff. So we hope
that you love the episode. Let's get into it now.
Britt I came across an article on the Weekend that
(02:09):
I thought you might find particularly funny, being that you
are marrying a man who is Swiss, who speaks lots
of different languages, and he speaks English particularly well, like
he is so well seamless, but he doesn't speak Australian
very well, you know. And what I mean by that
is that we have some real australianisms in our vocab,
which seems to send people from other countries into orbit
(02:31):
because a lot of the things don't make sense. So
for example, we once had a foreign exchange shoo to
come and stay with us, and I remember saying that something.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Was heaps good. I was like, oh, we went to
a restaurant it was heaps good.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
And she just looked at me really confused, and she
was like, heap's good, heaps of good, like piles of good.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
And never in my mind had I ever considered that
heaps good refers to piles everywhere else except for Australia.
We'll just say it's like, you know, it's really good.
No one else uses heaps in the world.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, well, okay, well I've got some other ones that
no one else uses.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
And you guys are going to.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Know this is is so obvious what we're trying to
say here. But this apparently is something that a particular
American who's gone viral online was saying.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
It makes absolutely no sense.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Britt, What do I mean when I say yeah nah?
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I mean I know this because I'm Australian. Believable.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yeah, n well yeah, is an agreeance that no is
the answer? So you're agreeing, You're like yeah, no, like
you're agreeing.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
That it's a no. Yeah. It's like a big no,
like yeah nah. It's like it's yeah, no, I'm not
doing that.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
What about nah? Yeah? Well, it's the opposite of what
I just said.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
It's like, whatever is the last word is what you're doing.
So if it's yeah, nah, it's a no. But if
it's nah, yeah, it's a.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yeah, Okay, I've got a better one. What about yeah
nah yeah yeah yeah, yeah no.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
This is why the rule works. Whatever the last word is,
you could say.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah nah yeah, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Nah yeah, and then it's a yes because it's the
last word. All right. Well look, I mean it does
kind of check out because then we've naiena, which also
would send someone into another planet.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Because sometimes when Ozzie's get on a real roll, think
when they're yeah yeah, yeah, Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Look, we've come up with a list of some very
iconic Australian sayings.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Some of them rapid fire.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Some of them just sayings that you would have heard,
you know, maybe it was from your dad, or maybe
it was at the local pub.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Some of them I wouldn't say they're is common now,
but they're definitely things that I would say ninety nine
point nine percent of Australians would know.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Well, we're gonna call my fiancee Ben. He's over in Italy,
but he is Swiss. I have had to teach him
some things in this relationship. So I'm gonna put him
to the test and see how many of these he notes. Hello,
Hey baby, it's britt Hi and yes you're on here
before I'm also here the whole family, heillo, everyone.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
We just wanted to quickly ask you something.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
We've been talking about, some Australianism, some like things that
we say, and whether or not you can understand them
or not.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Are you happy if we rall off?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Do you know? I like that we always seem to
make fun of them, but then actually speaks like five
different languages, and we're the ones who speak, you know,
other languages. The only thing that we speak is English
and also Australian by the sounds.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Of yeah, give it to me, give it to me.
All right.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
So we have a list of different sayings and you
have to tell us what they mean.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Okay, right, Why don't you just go and chuck a
ui since you always critique my driving, it's probably what
I do when I just it's just illegal. U turn somewhere,
so good? Okay. What about pissing in a person's pocket? Wow,
I don't know that one. Feel like you're probably gonna
(05:41):
just just just annoy someone be annoying you.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
No. No, it's like when you are complimenting someone but
it's insincere. Ah, like if I'm if I'm saying nice
things about you, but actually I don't like you, or
I'm like trying to like pump your tires up.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Actually there's another one. It's like all the nice things
I say about you better.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
What what about you're a couple of sandwiches short.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Of a picnic that's made up?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Surely a couple of sandwiches sort of picnic that you're
really not that smart.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
A couple of screws loose. Do you know what?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Though, Ben, you're very good at this. I think the
only way to figure it out is actually going for
a rapid fire. I'm going to say out some like
very quick word terms and see if you know what
they mean.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Chocol block, chopping board. No, chocolate block, not chopping board.
Chrissy Christmas, I know that one. Very good crook thief. No,
it means you're sick, Dax don't know they're your pants.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
You're devo devastated, very good, flat out.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
No, you're busy, hard yaka Jesus Christ. Then hard work.
Something's a bit iffy, It's like something's not quite right.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yeah, a bit risky orre unreasonable is what we got here?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Or up yourself?
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Um?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Where am I? What about drongo junk?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Na, nah nah, as we need it. We just needed
to go a bit fast, that's all. Ben. Look you
don't know everything, but well done. You're the best, babe.
Go to bed, thank you.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Let's all just remember he still knows five languages, which
is a lot more than anyone in this room.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah, let's not forget. We laugh, we laugh, we laugh.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
We're taking a little bit of a serious tone for
this next part because you guys might remember Tally smythe
she's from Big Brother back in twenty thirteen and still
has such a big presence across social media herself. But
she was just recently announced as an ambassador for Dementia Australia.
Now this is an incredibly and deeply personal reasons why
(07:43):
she's chosen to become an ambassador. But I'm not sure
if you had read it, but Tully wrote the most
incredible piece for Mother's Day that was in EL magazine
and it was all around her relationship with her mum,
A letter to her mum.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
I did, and it was truly touching, so moving and
just one of the most beautiful things I've.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Read in a really long time. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Absolutely, And the statistics around dementia something we don't talk
about much at all, but truly something that affects women predominantly.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
It is harrowing.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
I myself lost my great Arnie and also my nunner
to dementia and something that permeates my family.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Tully. It's so nice to be to welcome you to
the pickup.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Thank you so much, guys, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
When you message me about this as well. The stats
and the statistics around how it disproportionately affects women was
something that I wasn't even aware of.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Can you give us some of the background of what
that looks like.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Yeah, So right.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Now, there's an estimated at four hundred and thirty three thousand,
three hundred Australians living with dementia and that number is
expected to double.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
By twenty fifty four. So that's some pretty huge stats.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
It's currently the leading cause of death for females here
in Australia and there are about thirty thousand people who
are under the age of sixty five like my mum was,
So they're pretty huge stats that I don't feel like
people know about.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
You know, Telly, there'll be so many people listening to
this driving around in their cars who will have a
family member or someone that they love who's been affected
by dementia. What were the signs in your mum when
you were so young? Because early onset I feel like
it's a whole different board game. I think often it
can be chopped up to being like tired or being forgetful.
(09:25):
What were the early signs that you remember your mum
experiencing and the reasons why you know she sought out diagnosis.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Well, that's the thing, you know, when you've seen you're
so self obsessed. So it's definitely now in hindsight looking back,
that those signs are more clear to me.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
But it was stuff like that. It was little things
that you put down to her being a busy mum.
You know, she had three kids, she worked a full
time job. But stuff like you know, coming home from
the shops and putting the third bottle of milk in
the fridge. We already had two bottles. She'd forgotten that
she'd bought one and bought another one.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
But then that's not enough for you to tell them
raise alarm bells, right, you're like, silly mom, like, you know,
you forget everything, but you don't think at that age.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
And so how old was she at that time?
Speaker 5 (10:09):
She was fifty one, right, So it was definitely more
the mood changes. That's kind of when we knew, okay,
something to miss here. She went from being pretty positive, happy,
go lucky to very defensive, short temper, just really ready
for an argument, ready to fight. And that's kind of
when we sort of thought, okay, something to miss here.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Telling.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I think, you know, for anyone who's experienced to mention
their family with someone that they really love, it's the
grief of losing them before you lose them like that,
I think.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Most people can relate to.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
And we were talking about it before and it made
me really teary because I remember with my my Nan,
who I was so incredibly close with. Her dementia stemmed
over a really long period of time, and it was
this slow decay to eventually getting to a place where.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Let me cry, where they just.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Don't know who you are. I'm sorry. Yeah, that's like
the hardest thing I think.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
To deal with.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I mean it was insane, you know,
at first, it takes them so quickly. I went to
Union in Bathurst, and I remember being home one weekend
and Mom.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Was still talking. She still you know, her eyes would
light up. As I came towards her, I said, you know, hi, Mama.
I gave her a hug, and I went back to
UNI that week and by the time I came back
home that following weekend, she'd stop talking.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
So initially it stole her quickly. I can't remember the
last time she said my name. I can't remember last
time she said I love you. But then the thing
about early on set is that her body was so fit,
physically fit, and she was so young, so then it
was a long slog seventeen years. Yeah, she had dementia,
but she was gone so long before then.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
I have a question, if there's the genetic link, do
you worry that this is something that's going to happen
to you.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
One hundred percent that that's probably.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
That sits really really heavy on my chest. Every day, I,
you know, will do something really like lock myself out
of the house and I'll think, oh, here we go.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
It started right.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
It's huge, and especially now you know I'm older, I'm
thirty seven, you start thinking about having kids, and you know,
I froze my eggs, so I get my eggs tested.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
It's very heavy in my chest every single day. But
I personally have decided not to get the genetic tests
just because I want to live my life like every
day's my last. Anyway, we all should be doing that.
We all should be living our life to the fullest.
And I could go get tested and get the big
awful diagnosis and then get hit by a truck tomorrow.
(12:41):
Do you know what I mean, like, we just don't
know what life has in store for us, so that
may change.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
But right now I'm just choosing to live my life
to the fullest.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
And really embrace and enjoy every single moment like my
mom did before my diagnosis.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Tali, thank you for coming and being a part of
the show and for raising awareness for such a really
truly important cause. It affects so many Australians.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
No, thank you so much for having me guys.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Britt the other day it was Mother's Day. I know
you're aware. Yeah, that was just checking. Do you know what? Though?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
It was very cute for me, Like my two little
girls made it very special. My husband he went out
of his way to make it special. But there's one
thing that I think we've been led to believe is
really just wonderful and romantic and sweet and makes you
feel like you're all loved. And I was sitting there
whilst I was being forced into enjoying it, and I
(13:33):
thought to myself, am I all my own with this?
Am I the only person who actually doesn't enjoy this
at all?
Speaker 1 (13:38):
And it is breakfast in bed? Hear me out? You know,
I didn't have to hear you out it's terrible. It's terrible.
It is so overrated. Everyone's croissant crumbs for you, sheep.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I don't know who even rated it in the first place.
Like what mum in the history of being a mom thought,
I want breakfasting. I want my kids to make me
some burnt toast and bring it to me in bed.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
I get where it started because at the end, because
the toldler can't carry it, but at the end of
the day, the mum gets to stay in bed longer.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
That's what it is. I'm going to hang out here.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
For a couple of hours to breakfast ready, Like you
don't get to do that any other day.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
So I get where it started.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
There are mums all over the world putting up with
the shitter's breakfast and the crumbs in the.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Bed because they want to stay in bed.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
This is true, to be fair, it was actually a
delicious breakfast because my children didn't make it. They went
to the cafe. But what that meant is is like
the day had started, like I was awake, I was
ready to get up, and so they came in first
and did like this whole happy Mother's Day thing was
so cute. I have no way, am I going to
criticize the excitement of Mother's Day. It was really beautiful,
(14:35):
but then it was like they remembered because there were
only five and four that breakfast in bed is an
obligatory part of Mother's Day, and so we'd already done
the happy Mother's Day thing. I was about to get
out of bed, so then Matt was like, Okay, well
we can go to the cafe. So then the kids,
he takes the kids, They go to the cafe. They
come back about forty minutes later, and I'm up. I'm
(14:55):
doing stuff and I hear them come in and they
are trudging up the stairs with the coffee and the
bread and the smashed avocado with lemon.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
And they're like, Mom's got to still be in bed.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
So I had to run down the hallway, go back
in bed, pretend like I wasn't dressed for the day,
laying in bed, and then I had to eat my
avocado cold avocado toast in bed, and they sat there
and they watched me eat every single bite.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
The sacrifices you make sounds terrible, Laura. I was like,
why am I being torturing for being your mother? Do
you know what I think? I don't want to trump you,
but I want to add to it. I think he's
not a competition, but I sit in my pay I.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Don't want to be a storytopper, and it's not a storytopper,
but it's just something that I think is on par
with things that people think are romantic but are not.
A floating breakfast.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
I can't say I've ever had one, brit. I think
I'd take a floating breakfast over.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
It in my bad No, Like you go to Bali,
you're a little hotel and it's always an option, like
you don't have to have it, but they when you
check in, they're like, hey, do you want the floating breakfast?
And you're like, yeah, why not that sounds lit. All
of a sudden, you're in the pool, your breakfast is
floating away. I have to tell Ben to stop splashing
his long limbs around because the pool water's going on
the food.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
And I'm like, this is actually not what I thought
it would be.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
But also mantrea of getting into the pool at eight
am in the morning or seven thirty whenever.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Like I'm a mom, I'm up at six thirty. I'm
not getting in the pool to eat my breakfast. At
six thirty, and you.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Have to because you can't have a floating breakfast, not
in the pool. The only time you can't have a
stable breakfast on a floating tray, do.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
You not just put it on the side of the pool.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
You can, but you have to live with that that
you had a floating breakfast that wasn't floating, that.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Was on the ground. You're gonna be okay.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I think the only time when a breakfast in bed
is acceptable is when you're really hungover. That's like being
the one time that I've thoroughly enjoyed it. Well.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Look, after really unpacking this far.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Far deeper than I ever should have, I've come up
with a list, a list of things that people think
are traditionally romantic which we should.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Just put in the bin.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
We should all talk about how they kind of suck,
and everyone collectively thinks they suck, but no one's saying.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
It out loud. Yeah, all right. Having a bath with
a lover, oh terrible. Add to that as well, doing
the deed in the bath in water. It doesn't work.
And anyone that thinks it's good and romantic and sexy,
it's not.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
In the shower, not bad, but it's not we don't
have to. I've got one. This happened to me not
in a long time, when someone like thinks that they're
an amateur musician or something and they play the guitar
and sing to my Yeah, I had.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I was saying this. It was not bad, but it's like,
what do you do?
Speaker 3 (17:16):
It's like a concept for one, like what do you
want me to do to remain undies at you?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
I'm not sure. My ex was a musician.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
He was actually very good, so I shouldn't I shouldn't
poopo him, but he would serenade.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Me from time to time, and looking at the.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Time, I feel at the time I thought it was
really cute, And now looking back at it, I'm like, wow,
that's kind of cream, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Something else that I think potentially could be great, But
you're taking a risk. Surprise holidays now, hear me out. No,
that's all right, hear me out. I know that there's
gonna be people who disagree. But if you are a
busy person, if you've got work, if you've got stuff,
and I'm talking like complete surprise, get to the airport,
a bag has been patched for you.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
You didn't get to pack your own things. You didn't
get to pack your own taller trees. I think it's
really romantic in theory, but I think in practicality it's
kind of annoying. I don't think many people are.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Doing it today level where they're like meet me at
the airport with a baklava on their head, like I
think most people usually know, like, hey tomorrow. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I think usually you've got like a day or two.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Notice, I have one more few public surprise proposals.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
N I don't care.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
I love love, give me all the romance, private, public
anywhere flash dance proposal.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I would have.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Died for a flash dance dead, deceased, bury me, bury
me in my leatheart to different people.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Sometimes.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I'm sure it comes as no surprise to anyone who's
been listening to the show for the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Up the daff. Everyone have a number three kid, so
we have.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Thanks for specifying what's up there, that it is in
fact a human trial.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
So we already have two daughters, Marley and Lola, five
and four, and there's gonna be quite a gap between
Lola and the third child, So five years by the
time this baby's.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Born the third daughter too. Yeah, three girls.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
But I kind of feel like because Maley and Lola
were born very quickly, like as in a quick succession,
we had Marley and then nineteen twenty months later we
had Lola.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
It was also.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
During COVID, and it was just a different time and
both of those girls got the same introduction to life.
Like we lived in the same apartment. They ended up
sharing a room and they have been tight. They had
like a really cute little nursery which they had together. Yeah,
and I feel like they have kind of had a
very similar childhood that's been replicated one and two, whereas
number three I feel a little bit more relaxed this
(19:27):
time round. And let me tell you, for the first one,
I had everything. I had everything planned and put away
before she was born. I had the nursery and the
change table and all the toys.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
And it was just like a really.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Beautiful space before the baby was born.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Esthetically pleasing. It was instagram worthy on point. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yeah, number three twenty weeks off, couldn't get it.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
As That's where I'm going The things that I thought
once upon a time that you needed to have a
baby and the preparation that I put in for one
and two has completely gone out the win for number three.
And I don't know whether it's because I'm just more relaxed,
or whether it's because I realize that actually kids don't
need as many things as you think they do, or
whether it's just because I care less. Why hope it's
not that one for the sake of as child.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
I would say it's a multitude of all of them.
If you think about the difference.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Right when you're about to have your first child, you
have zero idea about anything, like nothing, what you need,
what you have to do to keep them.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Alive, Like you over prepare, you over prepared, But it's
like anything in life. If you don't know you're going
prepared now, you don't really need to do that.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
And also you don't need to go by the toys
you've got. They've got two older sisters, You've got so
much shit at home. You know nothing's going to happen.
So I guess you're a bit like hands behind your
head reclining on the beach chair.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Like what the problem is is, we actually don't have
a lot of that stuff anymore because we've got to
we've got rid of it because their kids are so old.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
We've got rid of all in you bonne stuff.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
But I do remember Lollless sleeping in the hallway for
a while.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
She did did just sound like she had a luxury nursery.
She slept in mine now hallway.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
She lived in a portercot in the hallway for a
period of time, but that was only until she got
transferred into her own bedroom. Now that worked fine for us,
like she survived. But I feel like I've pushed at
one point further for this child. So we have a
room that could be designated as the nursery. But I
also think it's kind of just a waste of a
room because babies don't use the nursery to start with.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Like, they just don't. They sleep in a basinet by
your bed. It is.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
I think personally, there is no need for a newborn
baby to have their own bedroom.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
They'll never use it. Maybe you turn it into a nightclub.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
No, I've turned it into an exercise room for me
so that I can have a pilates mat. I can
just have some space to have a little bit of
piece and quiet to myself because we have a full house.
Mother in law two kids, husband, massive forty kilo dog, like,
there's nowhere else.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
To go, and that's my sanctuary.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
I think if you girl, math the shit out of this,
I think that that is in fact you being a
good mum, because to be a good mum, you need
to feel good, you need to have time on your own,
and you need to exercise.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
So essentially you're doing this maybe a favor by putting
her in a court in the hall.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
I do think that potentially I am running the risk
of becoming.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
A little bit too relaxed with this pregnancy. And I
say that because we are so twenty weeks. You have
your twenty week scan right where they do the anatomy
and they check out all the measurements and everything and
they make sure that things are going to plan. So
the other day I looked at my calendar and this
week I have my appointment with my obstrician.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
It's literally a day. And Matt was like, Oh, what's
that one for? And I was like, Oh, it's for
the results for the twenty week scan. And he's like,
have your habs? Did you go and have the scan?
I completely forgot to book the twenty week scan.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
We're are twenty weeks and I haven't done it yet,
and now I have.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
To rearrange everything so they can go and get a
scan done to make sure everything's fine.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
I am too relaxed, But imagine turning up to get
your results and he's like, you didn't know it, you
haven't not.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
For scared to be fair. It reminds me of the
time where I went and passed me off. I got
a papsmir and then two months later I booked in
for a phapsmere and my doctor was like, why.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Are you back. She's like, you're secret. I just really
enjoy a bapsp All right, guys, that is it from
us today. Look, if you're.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Also got three kids, just maybe slide into my d
MS and tell me.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I think it's normal. I think this is what happens.
And I wasn't forgotten. I was loved. I don't.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
There's no less love for this baby. They're just gonna
have less things.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Does that have less things? Sure, they're gonna get more
hand me downs. I only had two older brothers and
I did wear a lot of their clothes like the three.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
The handy thing, though, is that we've got all girls.
This baby's not gonna know asine, I recently came across
this reel that when.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
I want to stop starting a that reel that went viral.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
That's all I do is spend my time on Instagram
doom scrolling Mom and Mia, who are quite a big
podcast producer. They recently posted a little video and it
was about smelling ants.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
I have a question for you Brits. If an ant
gets crushed near you, or like you step on an ant,
or like you kill an aunt by accident, can you
smell it?
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Like?
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Do you?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Can you smell any odor being emitted from the ant?
But I don't crush an ant near my face.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
No, but it doesn't matter, Like if you could, if I.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Walked on an ant and crushed it, I would smell
it from upright.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Or if you were sitting down at a picnic or
something and you crushed an ant by accident, have you
ever smelt like a weird smell coming from an ant? No?
But this is all weird common No. Then the thing
is is you can't smell ants? Oh no, what have
I got to do? So apparently this is like the
most useless superpower that there is. And there are some
people in the world who can smell ants, and there
(24:30):
are some people who can't. And I can smell ants,
and I always thought ants smell awful if they've been
stepped on, and everyone can smell them. But apparently it's
only twenty percent of the population can smell ant.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
So if you're walking down the street, just walking, there's
a little ant trail you step on and keep walking.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
You snow.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
For example, like if I'm out in the backyard playing
with the girls, like on the courtyard area, and I'm
sitting on the ground and I put my hand down
and I've squished an ant on my hand, and then
you smell your hair cut No, no, no, no, even if
I brush it off, I'm not sniffing a hair, smell
it like if it's crushed on me or near me.
The smell is so pungent and like peppery and weird.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Okay, so tawk me through this. Is there a point? No?
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Okay, great, just wanted to check if there was a
purpose to that. I'm glad that you can smell ants, lore,
I'm happy for you.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
You don't want to talk about ants, sniffer, No, I'm good.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Apparently only twenty percent of the population can smell ants.
Brittany can't smell the rain.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
That's not no.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
The more important part of this is I said I
can't smell rain. I got abuse hurled at me by
everyone in this room saying, yes I can. Every single
human can smell rain, and I said, no, they can't
produce the grace. You did some googling there, What did
you come up with about rain smelling?
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Uh? Not, everyone can smell the rain. I am thank
you sent into orbit. I am on another planet.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Now you can also call me Katy Perry. So the
smell of rain is the word for it is called petrochor.
I thought it was literally a basic human joy. I
thought every single person it was like watching.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
A sunset sniff in the rain. Answer.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
It's not a pleasant smell. So I don't think you
should be jealous about that one. If you can't smell
the rain, that to me is absolutely shocking.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
I'm doing okay, though, I don't know. You're gonna no,
we're gonna end this conversation. You're gonna need to book
yourself in the therapy.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
The fact that you've missed out on this your whole life,
it's insane to me.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
We are of.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Equal success here, and I've also grown up not smelling rain,
Like it hasn't altered my life's journey.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
But you haven't felt true joy passion. I don't know
what happened.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
I don't know if this happened off the back of COVID.
I have been able to start smelling it loosely the.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Last couple of years.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
So like, I get something and it's still a new thing,
and I'm like, is that the rain?
Speaker 1 (26:38):
So I think I'm smelling it.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
So you gained powers post COVID, because most people lost
their powers post COVID. It's like this really earthy, rich,
muddy smell, but it's it's nice. I know I'm not
describing it well, but it smells beautiful.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Do you want to know something else? Crazy? Oh god?
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Do you know that there are some people I don't
know what's call produced grace get on the Google, people
that like hear color, like every.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
That cop that cough. I'm getting green gunk. I'm getting
green gunk. Maybe I have whatever it is. Maybe I'm
getting chest infection, getting flue. It's called synesthesia. Oh synesthesia. Okay,
I did think it was that, but I think.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
I think for example, like so people can hear that color,
Like someone's voice can have a color.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
I think mine would be like floral pink. Like that's
what I'm saying. Like, it's like it's in your face.
What do you reply?
Speaker 2 (27:30):
I have seen this before, and there's a little boy
online who does this and like every so, like every
key on a piano has a different color attached to it,
and that was how they found out that he sees
the same colors. And in the comment section, what was
really interesting is that there were heaps of other people
who had this same I don't know what you'd call it.
It's not condition, not a disorder, but just way of
I guess perceiving the world. So he would be like, oh, there,
(27:52):
you know, E on a piano is green to me
and B is blue, And people in the comments who
also has whatever the word is. I'm not going to
pretend like thank you, yeah, exactly that one, Britt. They
also were seeing the identical color that he was seeing
for their own hearing.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
So it's fascinating.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
I don't know how I feel about it, but producer
Grace is telling us that's enough of the conversation.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Everybody who can't smell rain or smell ants.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
I'm so sorry. You know, Laura, I don't know if you.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Have ever had like a horror housemate story, but there
is an article online that is absolutely sending me. There's
a twenty four year old guy that says that his roommate,
the roommate from Hell, went into the fridge and stole
his cake.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Like a whole cake, cake like piece.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Yep. I want to eat this cake. It's not mine.
I'm going to eat it anyway. I'm going to ignore
everything else and eat it.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Why was the cake in his room? It was in
the fridge. Oh sorry, it was a room mate. The
cake wasn't under the bed like he said.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
He went into his room and took his cake, and
I was like, weird place to keep.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Your cake, par okay, Well just stay with me. So
his roommate's gone and stole the cake. Turns out he's
allergic to something in the cake. He had like a
full reaction, had to go to the hospital in an ambulance,
had to get an EpiPen, like this was a really
serious condition. Off the back of that, he got a
bill for all the medical fees. He then thinks it's
(29:11):
not fair that he has to pay it because it
wasn't his cake. So he has passed the bill onto
his flatmate, who's he stole his cake?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Are you following me?
Speaker 2 (29:19):
If I made that stit, you made it really convoluted.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
But I understand it's saying dolly'srmate's cake. He had an
allergic reaction, went to hospital, a huge medical bill. Then
he was like, do you know what stuff you You
poisoned me with your cake? You pay it And the
flatmate's like, bro, you stole my cake.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
You poisoned yourself.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
What I love about that story is he told it
the exact same way, just not animated the second time, just.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Sort of faster.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
If you're going to take your housemates feet firstly, if
you if you're allergic, I would say by the age
of twenty four, you're probably aware of the things that
you're unaflacted to normally not everyone, but like you would
normally have a bit of a gauge of what it
is that you're allergic to. If you're going to go
into the fridge, take something that's very clearly not yours
of your housemates. If you end up in hospital, that's
on new Paler. You're paying for those bills. You also
(30:06):
should have to pay for those bills and the caque.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
But it's like stealing a car and then crashing it
and then saying that they need to pay your hospital bills,
like when you stole it.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
It's the same thing. It's wild to me that he
even thought he could pass his bill on. Do you
know what my old housemate used to do.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
This was we were in our twenties and like no
one had any money because we're all UNI students and
we were just doing our best. But I used to
really like connoisseur ice cream. It was like my one treat.
I would always buy the same one Macadamian. I had
it in the freezer, and this dude I live with
would eat the.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Entire tub in like three days. It would be got.
I wouldn't have even had a scoop and he would have.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Eaten the whole thing so rude, So then he would
replace it, but he would always replace it with just
like the no name, no frills, whatever. It was that
the cheapest version of ice cream that he could get.
And he used to make me so irate because I
was like, you can't substitute something for something less, absolutely not,
And then he would not eat that because he didn't
like it, and I was like, well, no one does.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
We've got Georgia on that bad. I didn't end up
in hospital. Georgia g a horror house meat story.
Speaker 6 (31:02):
I do.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
So.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
I had a housemate who had a bit of a
habit of borrowing and not replacing, you know, the standard,
and so we sort of sat on it for a while.
We didn't say much until one day we found saucy
fingerprints in the butter.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Oh is making himself a sausage sandwich and he's spreading
it with his fingers.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
No, maybe I don't, Yeah, straight from the my kids
do that.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
But therefore it's actually revolting. No one should eat butter
on its own, whether it's.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
A finger My kids do it. They eat it straight
straight from the straight from the sauce.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
But then the real kicker is that we asked him
about it and just, you know, can you not do that?
And he burst into tears.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
How old was this guy.
Speaker 6 (31:49):
Like fully grown? I think at the time he was
like twenty eight orthing like that said about I don't know,
but I felt terrible about it because, you know, maybe
the guy has stuff going on. I don't know, So
I felt terrible, and I brought him some chocolate to apologize.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
No.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
No.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
I also think that this just screams as someone who's
highly sensitive to criticism, like there's no way that anyone
who's you know, of sound mine.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Is crying over that.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
They'd be like, yeah, you got me, shouldn't do that,
that's bad.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
What ended up happening? Did you how long just stay
with this guy? Live with him? No?
Speaker 6 (32:22):
So he was my partner's brumete that I ended up
just sort of being around. But yes, I bought him
chocolate and then he said sorry, but then did it again.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
He's a repeaterd fan.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Do you know what my most hated thing in the world,
Like there is sorry, nothing food.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
My most hated food is butter.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Like the thought of butter in my mouth or on
my fingertips is the equivalent of people when they have
nails on a chalkboard.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
You know that that visceral feel like I love the
pa you've taken home from that You're so upset by
the butter story.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Trees bumps because I'm thinking about butter touching me.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
I've lived in a lot of sharehouses. I've had so
many different housemates over the years, and I feel like
I've had a couple of horror housemates as well. I
lived with this one guy. He was in a long
distance relationship. You know, he barely got to speak to
his partner because the timing difference was like very other
side of the world. And he was a little bit
of a hermit, so we lacked to say in his
own room a lot. He also had the rule that
(33:21):
no one in the house was allowed to go into
his bedroom.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Ever, doesn't matter what had happen, do not enter my room. Yeah, fine,
it was.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Like a teenage boys room, but he wasn't a teenage
boy anyway. This one day, we couldn't find the remote control,
and we just knew he'd taken it into his room
because he had the same TV in his room that
we had in the lound room, so he wasn't home
open the door. It is putrid like there is stuff everywhere.
But not only is there stuff everywhere, there is a lotion,
like a body lotion, right next to the bed, and
(33:48):
scrunched up bits of tissue all around his sad little
single bed all over the floor.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
But don't you shame this poor guy. The single bed
has nothing to do with no it's because it was
the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
It was the whole spectrum. It was overpoweringly disgusting that
a couple of weeks later he ended up moving out.
Those two things weren't correlative, but it was.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
You can't ask you not to go into his room.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
You cannot leave bodily fluids on the floor of anywhere.
It's still a communal household, even if it's your room.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Did you test them? I didn't step them. No, Okay,
do you know what? You actually can't talk? I know
I can talk, we can, but we're not listening. No,
you can.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
I happen to know your old housemates, and I happened
to have Jess on the line because I also happened
to know you weren't perfect.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Jess, don't you dare. I'm very very good friends.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
My old housemate, Jess in particular, who's also married Toness,
are two of my best friends.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
You would never throw me under the bar. Please, can
you have silence? Laura?
Speaker 5 (34:45):
Hi, jes Hi, Hi, tell.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Us what you had to deal with.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
Anyone that knows the love Laura knows that she wries
and a bit of payos. And we used to always
joke about this because Laura, you would either never changed
the toilet roll or you would change it to such
an deranged degree with nothing in between. So I'm talking like,
never ever ever change it, or we'd have five toilet
(35:10):
rolls half used on the go at any given time,
to the point where we joked, say, your favorite part
of the toilet roll was the gluey bit that you
just like unsticking your fresh roll of toilet paper. It
got to the point where Ness went around and grouped
up all of the toilet rolls. I think she put
them in your bed. Yeah, she put them in your bed.
It was absolutely unhinged.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
That's so passive aggressive. This is not asive.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
It was just outright aggressive. It was just pure aggression.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
This is the thing.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
So Jess and Ness are a couple, and like you guys,
both communicated very differently. You would just tell me when
something's wrong, but Ness would not say anything, just kind
of be quiet through the day and then send me
a passive aggressive dext when she got to it.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
But to be fair to you, in true Laura fashion,
about once a week, you would cook the whole house
the most delicious surf right, and everything would be forgiven
and we would just start the cycle again a fresh week.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Do you know what, I go to Laura's house now
and I have to take my own toilet paper. There
is never there's always empty roles in any bathroom in
your house.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
I don't know what it is. Yeah, it's like Matt's one.
I mean, he has a lot of bug bears with me.
But one of the things he hates about me is
that when I change a role, I don't take the
cardboard bit downstairs.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
I just put the cardboard bit on top of the.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Toilet roll for that to be someone else's problem.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Sorry, Jazz, you know what.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
You guys are so well putting out with me. I
love living with You're my favorite housemates of all my housemates.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
Trying to think of you.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
My favorite part of visiting you now is that every
time I go to your house, you say sorry for
the mess Like that, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Yeah? Totally all right, shut up, get on the phone,
Thank you, bye, Jess.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
Do you know I always had a really good housemaids.
I was just trying to think, but then I remember
this one thing. I lived with this guy who was
this is unheard of clean freak like to the point
that he sat me down one day and asked me
to leave. He told me I needed to move out
because I left an avocado seed once on the sink.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
I've seen your bathroom though, too, Britt. You're chaotic as well.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
That's not messy, though, that's just I have too many products.
I have like twenty five thousand products. But this was no.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
I was immaculate in his house. One avocado seat, and
he said, I think it's time for you to leave.
And you know what I said, No.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Yes, say, I think it's time for you to get therapy.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
I didn't leave. Yep, that's it, Britt.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
I know we've just gone from hobby horsing to cats
being stolen, but it's been.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
A real journey this show. Let me tell you. Yeah,
what's happened to you?
Speaker 2 (37:26):
No, my cat hasn't been stolen. I have a cat
named Raspberry. As much to my husband's dismay, because I'm
sure he'd love the cat to be stolen.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
He's not a fan. The cat still lives with us.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
But it did get me thinking because there is a
woman who is in Zurich and she's currently in courts
at the moment for feeding her neighbor's cat.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Now hear me out. She's sixty eight years old.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
She intentionally instored a cat flap on her door so
that Leo, the neighbor's cat could just pop over any
time that the cat liked.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
Well, what's wrong with this story? This sounds wholesome.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Well, the people who are the rightful owners of the
cat put in a complaint asked this lovely old lady
to stop feeding the cat.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
She refused. She kept feeding the cat.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
The problem is, ten months later, Leo the cat no
longer wants to go home.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
It wants to live with the feeder smile.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
And so they've taken her to court, and it's currently
going through the court systems. And it's called systematically feeding
a cat that is not yours. So that cannot be
a law that is not real. So it's a criminal
offense in Switzerland. I don't know whether it's a criminal
offense in Australia. But let me tell you, I have
a lovely neighbor. She's so so sweet. She lives on
(38:31):
her own and we have a cat, and our cat
sometimes during the day just disappears for long periods of time.
I know she only kind of goes in our yard
or the neighbor's yard. Like she's not a wandering cat,
because she's quite timid and scared of literally everything.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
But some days.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Gone disappeared, vanished, And I'm pretty certain she's inside my
neighbor's house because my kids were talking to my neighbor
the other day and she was talking about how much
she loves having the cat over, and You're like, when
do you have the cat?
Speaker 1 (38:59):
I was like, what do you me?
Speaker 2 (39:00):
The cat doesn't come over Anyway, Molly came inside and
she was like, Mom, I reckon, Raspberry's been living at
Ronda's house.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Do you reckon?
Speaker 3 (39:09):
She might be too, but okay, worst case, I don't mind.
I think Rond would treat it well. Not that I
think she probably has a good life there. Maybe Rasberry
should move in with Rohonda.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
No, I love my cat.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
I don't want it to move in, But I also
want her to know that there's many forms of love
and she can get it from the neighbor as well.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
She want to know, okay, hang on. I had a
Border Collie called Mia, Love of my Life.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
I was about twenty three years old, and she was
getting fatter and fatter, and she was only about four
years old.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
And you knew what wasn't coming from her.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
I knew what I was feeding her, and I would
leave her in the day in the morning, come home
in the afternoon. She was there to greet me, and
I was like, this is a real problem, and I
know there are some diseases that she could have that
made to put on weight. So I took her to
the vet, had the vet check her out, and the
vet was like, she's not coming back with anything, but
they're like, you need to stop feeding it.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
I was like, I'm barely feeding her.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
Like she's on the street, just dye it to lose weight,
and she was getting bigger and bigger.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
We ended up having to install cameras.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
What she was doing, my border Collie was she would
jump up onto the bins outside, jump over the fence
a big fence to the ground outside, walk down into
the street to the retirement village, spend the day at
the retirement village, the hold day whole roast chickens. Every
single retirement village person Newa would feed her and I
(40:26):
ended up figuring it out.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
They were like, oh, she's been coming every day for
a year.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
Then she would bring herself home, sneak back in the
back like nothing ever happened.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
That's really sad, though, because then if you stop her
from going, all of those old people who love seeing
their dog, their dog who visited them every day, they're
one piece of joy that it brings them.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
I said she could still come. She used to visit,
but I said, you guys can't feed her anymore. They yeah,
they stopped feeding herp but Mia still went down to visit.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
She made their day. But I was like, you can't
give a roast chickens. They were giving a whole chicken.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
I also think in this instance, like if you've got
an issue with your cat going to the neighbor's house,
keep a cat inside, Like the plan is simple.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
I know that. Like I don't understand how this.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Couple and this cat and this old woman ended up
in court in Zurich. I'm like, surely, if the issue
is is that your cat is leaving your apartment and
going in the cat flap door that your neighbor installed.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
Just don't let it out.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Like that makes no sense to me. I'm not against it.
I think it's fine, but I'm sure that there are
other people who have had far worse versions of this.
I just think my cat is happily being co parented
at the moment, and she's living a great life.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
Let her live the best life with Ruth. Ruth
This episode was recorded on Cameragle Land. Hi guys, and
a welcome back to another episode of Life on Cut.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm Laura and unfortunately Brute is not here because we
made a little bit of a booboo on this episode.
Well look, it is our radio episode, so the episode
itself actually has no booboo, but the intro we forgot
to hit record and it does not happen often, but
when it does, let me tell you, it puts a
real spanner in the works. So basically, if you are
(00:31):
new to the podcast, this is our radio show, the
pickup where we package up all the best bits from
what's been on radio this week. In case you're someone
who doesn't listen to radio, you can listen to.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
It right here.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
But normally, normally on like a Thursday, we sit down
and we do like a little intro for this episode
together when we're in studio, And yeah, that didn't really
go to plan this week. I thought this week was
such a fun bunch of shows. Some of it was
particularly Rogue, almost as Rogue is this intro, but we
also had one really important conversation with Tully smythe You
(01:03):
might remember Tully from Big Brother. She's also got quite
a big social media presence still, but she wrote a
really incredible piece which was published in El magazine over
Mother's Day, and it was all around dementia and dealing
with the grief and the grief around Mother's Day with
a loss of her mum, who died of early on
set dementia when she was only in her sixties. If
(01:26):
you or anyone in your family has ever been touched
by dementia, then you would know just how hard it
is the grief of losing someone when they're still alive.
And I think Tully captured that so incredibly beautifully in
her piece that she wrote. It was so wonderful to
speak to her on the radio show about this, because
dementia is something that just doesn't get any attention. It's
(01:46):
not pretty, it's not something that gets media focus, and
I think often we attribute it to people who are
quite elderly, and in Tully's experience, it's completely changed the
trajectory of her life. She lost her mom so young.
But there is a lot in this show, some very
silly stuff also some very deep stuff. So we hope
that you love the episode. Let's get into it now.
Britt I came across an article on the Weekend that
(02:09):
I thought you might find particularly funny, being that you
are marrying a man who is Swiss, who speaks lots
of different languages, and he speaks English particularly well, like
he is so well seamless, but he doesn't speak Australian
very well, you know. And what I mean by that
is that we have some real australianisms in our vocab,
which seems to send people from other countries into orbit
(02:31):
because a lot of the things don't make sense. So
for example, we once had a foreign exchange shoo to
come and stay with us, and I remember saying that something.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Was heaps good. I was like, oh, we went to
a restaurant it was heaps good.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
And she just looked at me really confused, and she
was like, heap's good, heaps of good, like piles of good.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
And never in my mind had I ever considered that
heaps good refers to piles everywhere else except for Australia.
We'll just say it's like, you know, it's really good.
No one else uses heaps in the world.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, well, okay, well I've got some other ones that
no one else uses.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
And you guys are going to.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Know this is is so obvious what we're trying to
say here. But this apparently is something that a particular
American who's gone viral online was saying.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
It makes absolutely no sense.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Britt, What do I mean when I say yeah nah?
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I mean I know this because I'm Australian. Believable.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yeah, n well yeah, is an agreeance that no is
the answer? So you're agreeing, You're like yeah, no, like
you're agreeing.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
That it's a no. Yeah. It's like a big no,
like yeah nah. It's like it's yeah, no, I'm not
doing that.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
What about nah? Yeah? Well, it's the opposite of what
I just said.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
It's like, whatever is the last word is what you're doing.
So if it's yeah, nah, it's a no. But if
it's nah, yeah, it's a.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yeah, Okay, I've got a better one. What about yeah
nah yeah yeah yeah, yeah no.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
This is why the rule works. Whatever the last word is,
you could say.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah nah yeah, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Nah yeah, and then it's a yes because it's the
last word. All right. Well look, I mean it does
kind of check out because then we've naiena, which also
would send someone into another planet.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Because sometimes when Ozzie's get on a real roll, think
when they're yeah yeah, yeah, Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Look, we've come up with a list of some very
iconic Australian sayings.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Some of them rapid fire.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Some of them just sayings that you would have heard,
you know, maybe it was from your dad, or maybe
it was at the local pub.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Some of them I wouldn't say they're is common now,
but they're definitely things that I would say ninety nine
point nine percent of Australians would know.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Well, we're gonna call my fiancee Ben. He's over in Italy,
but he is Swiss. I have had to teach him
some things in this relationship. So I'm gonna put him
to the test and see how many of these he notes. Hello,
Hey baby, it's britt Hi and yes you're on here
before I'm also here the whole family, heillo, everyone.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
We just wanted to quickly ask you something.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
We've been talking about, some Australianism, some like things that
we say, and whether or not you can understand them
or not.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Are you happy if we rall off?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Do you know? I like that we always seem to
make fun of them, but then actually speaks like five
different languages, and we're the ones who speak, you know,
other languages. The only thing that we speak is English
and also Australian by the sounds.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Of yeah, give it to me, give it to me.
All right.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
So we have a list of different sayings and you
have to tell us what they mean.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Okay, right, Why don't you just go and chuck a
ui since you always critique my driving, it's probably what
I do when I just it's just illegal. U turn somewhere,
so good? Okay. What about pissing in a person's pocket? Wow,
I don't know that one. Feel like you're probably gonna
(05:41):
just just just annoy someone be annoying you.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
No. No, it's like when you are complimenting someone but
it's insincere. Ah, like if I'm if I'm saying nice
things about you, but actually I don't like you, or
I'm like trying to like pump your tires up.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Actually there's another one. It's like all the nice things
I say about you better.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
What what about you're a couple of sandwiches short.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Of a picnic that's made up?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Surely a couple of sandwiches sort of picnic that you're
really not that smart.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
A couple of screws loose. Do you know what?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Though, Ben, you're very good at this. I think the
only way to figure it out is actually going for
a rapid fire. I'm going to say out some like
very quick word terms and see if you know what
they mean.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Chocol block, chopping board. No, chocolate block, not chopping board.
Chrissy Christmas, I know that one. Very good crook thief. No,
it means you're sick, Dax don't know they're your pants.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
You're devo devastated, very good, flat out.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
No, you're busy, hard yaka Jesus Christ. Then hard work.
Something's a bit iffy, It's like something's not quite right.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yeah, a bit risky orre unreasonable is what we got here?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Or up yourself?
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Um?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Where am I? What about drongo junk?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Na, nah nah, as we need it. We just needed
to go a bit fast, that's all. Ben. Look you
don't know everything, but well done. You're the best, babe.
Go to bed, thank you.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Let's all just remember he still knows five languages, which
is a lot more than anyone in this room.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah, let's not forget. We laugh, we laugh, we laugh.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
We're taking a little bit of a serious tone for
this next part because you guys might remember Tally smythe
she's from Big Brother back in twenty thirteen and still
has such a big presence across social media herself. But
she was just recently announced as an ambassador for Dementia Australia.
Now this is an incredibly and deeply personal reasons why
(07:43):
she's chosen to become an ambassador. But I'm not sure
if you had read it, but Tully wrote the most
incredible piece for Mother's Day that was in EL magazine
and it was all around her relationship with her mum,
A letter to her mum.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
I did, and it was truly touching, so moving and
just one of the most beautiful things I've.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Read in a really long time. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Absolutely, And the statistics around dementia something we don't talk
about much at all, but truly something that affects women predominantly.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
It is harrowing.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
I myself lost my great Arnie and also my nunner
to dementia and something that permeates my family.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Tully. It's so nice to be to welcome you to
the pickup.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Thank you so much, guys, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
When you message me about this as well. The stats
and the statistics around how it disproportionately affects women was
something that I wasn't even aware of.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Can you give us some of the background of what
that looks like.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Yeah, So right.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Now, there's an estimated at four hundred and thirty three thousand,
three hundred Australians living with dementia and that number is
expected to double.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
By twenty fifty four. So that's some pretty huge stats.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
It's currently the leading cause of death for females here
in Australia and there are about thirty thousand people who
are under the age of sixty five like my mum was,
So they're pretty huge stats that I don't feel like
people know about.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
You know, Telly, there'll be so many people listening to
this driving around in their cars who will have a
family member or someone that they love who's been affected
by dementia. What were the signs in your mum when
you were so young? Because early onset I feel like
it's a whole different board game. I think often it
can be chopped up to being like tired or being forgetful.
(09:25):
What were the early signs that you remember your mum
experiencing and the reasons why you know she sought out diagnosis.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Well, that's the thing, you know, when you've seen you're
so self obsessed. So it's definitely now in hindsight looking back,
that those signs are more clear to me.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
But it was stuff like that. It was little things
that you put down to her being a busy mum.
You know, she had three kids, she worked a full
time job. But stuff like you know, coming home from
the shops and putting the third bottle of milk in
the fridge. We already had two bottles. She'd forgotten that
she'd bought one and bought another one.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
But then that's not enough for you to tell them
raise alarm bells, right, you're like, silly mom, like, you know,
you forget everything, but you don't think at that age.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
And so how old was she at that time?
Speaker 5 (10:09):
She was fifty one, right, So it was definitely more
the mood changes. That's kind of when we knew, okay,
something to miss here. She went from being pretty positive, happy,
go lucky to very defensive, short temper, just really ready
for an argument, ready to fight. And that's kind of
when we sort of thought, okay, something to miss here.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Telling.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I think, you know, for anyone who's experienced to mention
their family with someone that they really love, it's the
grief of losing them before you lose them like that,
I think.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Most people can relate to.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
And we were talking about it before and it made
me really teary because I remember with my my Nan,
who I was so incredibly close with. Her dementia stemmed
over a really long period of time, and it was
this slow decay to eventually getting to a place where.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Let me cry, where they just.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Don't know who you are. I'm sorry. Yeah, that's like
the hardest thing I think.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
To deal with.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I mean it was insane, you know,
at first, it takes them so quickly. I went to
Union in Bathurst, and I remember being home one weekend
and Mom.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Was still talking. She still you know, her eyes would
light up. As I came towards her, I said, you know, hi, Mama.
I gave her a hug, and I went back to
UNI that week and by the time I came back
home that following weekend, she'd stop talking.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
So initially it stole her quickly. I can't remember the
last time she said my name. I can't remember last
time she said I love you. But then the thing
about early on set is that her body was so fit,
physically fit, and she was so young, so then it
was a long slog seventeen years. Yeah, she had dementia,
but she was gone so long before then.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
I have a question, if there's the genetic link, do
you worry that this is something that's going to happen
to you.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
One hundred percent that that's probably.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
That sits really really heavy on my chest. Every day, I,
you know, will do something really like lock myself out
of the house and I'll think, oh, here we go.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
It started right.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
It's huge, and especially now you know I'm older, I'm
thirty seven, you start thinking about having kids, and you know,
I froze my eggs, so I get my eggs tested.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
It's very heavy in my chest every single day. But
I personally have decided not to get the genetic tests
just because I want to live my life like every
day's my last. Anyway, we all should be doing that.
We all should be living our life to the fullest.
And I could go get tested and get the big
awful diagnosis and then get hit by a truck tomorrow.
(12:41):
Do you know what I mean, like, we just don't
know what life has in store for us, so that
may change.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
But right now I'm just choosing to live my life
to the fullest.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
And really embrace and enjoy every single moment like my
mom did before my diagnosis.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Tali, thank you for coming and being a part of
the show and for raising awareness for such a really
truly important cause. It affects so many Australians.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
No, thank you so much for having me guys.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Britt the other day it was Mother's Day. I know
you're aware. Yeah, that was just checking. Do you know what? Though?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
It was very cute for me, Like my two little
girls made it very special. My husband he went out
of his way to make it special. But there's one
thing that I think we've been led to believe is
really just wonderful and romantic and sweet and makes you
feel like you're all loved. And I was sitting there
whilst I was being forced into enjoying it, and I
(13:33):
thought to myself, am I all my own with this?
Am I the only person who actually doesn't enjoy this
at all?
Speaker 1 (13:38):
And it is breakfast in bed? Hear me out? You know,
I didn't have to hear you out it's terrible. It's terrible.
It is so overrated. Everyone's croissant crumbs for you, sheep.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I don't know who even rated it in the first place.
Like what mum in the history of being a mom thought,
I want breakfasting. I want my kids to make me
some burnt toast and bring it to me in bed.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
I get where it started because at the end, because
the toldler can't carry it, but at the end of
the day, the mum gets to stay in bed longer.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
That's what it is. I'm going to hang out here.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
For a couple of hours to breakfast ready, Like you
don't get to do that any other day.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
So I get where it started.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
There are mums all over the world putting up with
the shitter's breakfast and the crumbs in the.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Bed because they want to stay in bed.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
This is true, to be fair, it was actually a
delicious breakfast because my children didn't make it. They went
to the cafe. But what that meant is is like
the day had started, like I was awake, I was
ready to get up, and so they came in first
and did like this whole happy Mother's Day thing was
so cute. I have no way, am I going to
criticize the excitement of Mother's Day. It was really beautiful,
(14:35):
but then it was like they remembered because there were
only five and four that breakfast in bed is an
obligatory part of Mother's Day, and so we'd already done
the happy Mother's Day thing. I was about to get
out of bed, so then Matt was like, Okay, well
we can go to the cafe. So then the kids,
he takes the kids, They go to the cafe. They
come back about forty minutes later, and I'm up. I'm
(14:55):
doing stuff and I hear them come in and they
are trudging up the stairs with the coffee and the
bread and the smashed avocado with lemon.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
And they're like, Mom's got to still be in bed.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
So I had to run down the hallway, go back
in bed, pretend like I wasn't dressed for the day,
laying in bed, and then I had to eat my
avocado cold avocado toast in bed, and they sat there
and they watched me eat every single bite.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
The sacrifices you make sounds terrible, Laura. I was like,
why am I being torturing for being your mother? Do
you know what I think? I don't want to trump you,
but I want to add to it. I think he's
not a competition, but I sit in my pay I.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Don't want to be a storytopper, and it's not a storytopper,
but it's just something that I think is on par
with things that people think are romantic but are not.
A floating breakfast.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
I can't say I've ever had one, brit. I think
I'd take a floating breakfast over.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
It in my bad No, Like you go to Bali,
you're a little hotel and it's always an option, like
you don't have to have it, but they when you
check in, they're like, hey, do you want the floating breakfast?
And you're like, yeah, why not that sounds lit. All
of a sudden, you're in the pool, your breakfast is
floating away. I have to tell Ben to stop splashing
his long limbs around because the pool water's going on
the food.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
And I'm like, this is actually not what I thought
it would be.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
But also mantrea of getting into the pool at eight
am in the morning or seven thirty whenever.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Like I'm a mom, I'm up at six thirty. I'm
not getting in the pool to eat my breakfast. At
six thirty, and you.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Have to because you can't have a floating breakfast, not
in the pool. The only time you can't have a
stable breakfast on a floating tray, do.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
You not just put it on the side of the pool.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
You can, but you have to live with that that
you had a floating breakfast that wasn't floating, that.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Was on the ground. You're gonna be okay.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I think the only time when a breakfast in bed
is acceptable is when you're really hungover. That's like being
the one time that I've thoroughly enjoyed it. Well.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Look, after really unpacking this far.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Far deeper than I ever should have, I've come up
with a list, a list of things that people think
are traditionally romantic which we should.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Just put in the bin.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
We should all talk about how they kind of suck,
and everyone collectively thinks they suck, but no one's saying.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
It out loud. Yeah, all right. Having a bath with
a lover, oh terrible. Add to that as well, doing
the deed in the bath in water. It doesn't work.
And anyone that thinks it's good and romantic and sexy,
it's not.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
In the shower, not bad, but it's not we don't
have to. I've got one. This happened to me not
in a long time, when someone like thinks that they're
an amateur musician or something and they play the guitar
and sing to my Yeah, I had.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I was saying this. It was not bad, but it's like,
what do you do?
Speaker 3 (17:16):
It's like a concept for one, like what do you
want me to do to remain undies at you?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
I'm not sure. My ex was a musician.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
He was actually very good, so I shouldn't I shouldn't
poopo him, but he would serenade.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Me from time to time, and looking at the.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Time, I feel at the time I thought it was
really cute, And now looking back at it, I'm like, wow,
that's kind of cream, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Something else that I think potentially could be great, But
you're taking a risk. Surprise holidays now, hear me out. No,
that's all right, hear me out. I know that there's
gonna be people who disagree. But if you are a
busy person, if you've got work, if you've got stuff,
and I'm talking like complete surprise, get to the airport,
a bag has been patched for you.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
You didn't get to pack your own things. You didn't
get to pack your own taller trees. I think it's
really romantic in theory, but I think in practicality it's
kind of annoying. I don't think many people are.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Doing it today level where they're like meet me at
the airport with a baklava on their head, like I
think most people usually know, like, hey tomorrow. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I think usually you've got like a day or two.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Notice, I have one more few public surprise proposals.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
N I don't care.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
I love love, give me all the romance, private, public
anywhere flash dance proposal.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I would have.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Died for a flash dance dead, deceased, bury me, bury
me in my leatheart to different people.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Sometimes.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I'm sure it comes as no surprise to anyone who's
been listening to the show for the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Up the daff. Everyone have a number three kid, so
we have.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Thanks for specifying what's up there, that it is in
fact a human trial.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
So we already have two daughters, Marley and Lola, five
and four, and there's gonna be quite a gap between
Lola and the third child, So five years by the
time this baby's.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Born the third daughter too. Yeah, three girls.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
But I kind of feel like because Maley and Lola
were born very quickly, like as in a quick succession,
we had Marley and then nineteen twenty months later we
had Lola.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
It was also.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
During COVID, and it was just a different time and
both of those girls got the same introduction to life.
Like we lived in the same apartment. They ended up
sharing a room and they have been tight. They had
like a really cute little nursery which they had together. Yeah,
and I feel like they have kind of had a
very similar childhood that's been replicated one and two, whereas
number three I feel a little bit more relaxed this
(19:27):
time round. And let me tell you, for the first one,
I had everything. I had everything planned and put away
before she was born. I had the nursery and the
change table and all the toys.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
And it was just like a really.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Beautiful space before the baby was born.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Esthetically pleasing. It was instagram worthy on point. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yeah, number three twenty weeks off, couldn't get it.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
As That's where I'm going The things that I thought
once upon a time that you needed to have a
baby and the preparation that I put in for one
and two has completely gone out the win for number three.
And I don't know whether it's because I'm just more relaxed,
or whether it's because I realize that actually kids don't
need as many things as you think they do, or
whether it's just because I care less. Why hope it's
not that one for the sake of as child.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
I would say it's a multitude of all of them.
If you think about the difference.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Right when you're about to have your first child, you
have zero idea about anything, like nothing, what you need,
what you have to do to keep them.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Alive, Like you over prepare, you over prepared, But it's
like anything in life. If you don't know you're going
prepared now, you don't really need to do that.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
And also you don't need to go by the toys
you've got. They've got two older sisters, You've got so
much shit at home. You know nothing's going to happen.
So I guess you're a bit like hands behind your
head reclining on the beach chair.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Like what the problem is is, we actually don't have
a lot of that stuff anymore because we've got to
we've got rid of it because their kids are so old.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
We've got rid of all in you bonne stuff.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
But I do remember Lollless sleeping in the hallway for
a while.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
She did did just sound like she had a luxury nursery.
She slept in mine now hallway.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
She lived in a portercot in the hallway for a
period of time, but that was only until she got
transferred into her own bedroom. Now that worked fine for us,
like she survived. But I feel like I've pushed at
one point further for this child. So we have a
room that could be designated as the nursery. But I
also think it's kind of just a waste of a
room because babies don't use the nursery to start with.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Like, they just don't. They sleep in a basinet by
your bed. It is.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
I think personally, there is no need for a newborn
baby to have their own bedroom.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
They'll never use it. Maybe you turn it into a nightclub.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
No, I've turned it into an exercise room for me
so that I can have a pilates mat. I can
just have some space to have a little bit of
piece and quiet to myself because we have a full house.
Mother in law two kids, husband, massive forty kilo dog, like,
there's nowhere else.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
To go, and that's my sanctuary.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
I think if you girl, math the shit out of this,
I think that that is in fact you being a
good mum, because to be a good mum, you need
to feel good, you need to have time on your own,
and you need to exercise.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
So essentially you're doing this maybe a favor by putting
her in a court in the hall.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
I do think that potentially I am running the risk
of becoming.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
A little bit too relaxed with this pregnancy. And I
say that because we are so twenty weeks. You have
your twenty week scan right where they do the anatomy
and they check out all the measurements and everything and
they make sure that things are going to plan. So
the other day I looked at my calendar and this
week I have my appointment with my obstrician.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
It's literally a day. And Matt was like, Oh, what's
that one for? And I was like, Oh, it's for
the results for the twenty week scan. And he's like,
have your habs? Did you go and have the scan?
I completely forgot to book the twenty week scan.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
We're are twenty weeks and I haven't done it yet,
and now I have.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
To rearrange everything so they can go and get a
scan done to make sure everything's fine.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
I am too relaxed, But imagine turning up to get
your results and he's like, you didn't know it, you
haven't not.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
For scared to be fair. It reminds me of the
time where I went and passed me off. I got
a papsmir and then two months later I booked in
for a phapsmere and my doctor was like, why.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Are you back. She's like, you're secret. I just really
enjoy a bapsp All right, guys, that is it from
us today. Look, if you're.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Also got three kids, just maybe slide into my d
MS and tell me.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I think it's normal. I think this is what happens.
And I wasn't forgotten. I was loved. I don't.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
There's no less love for this baby. They're just gonna
have less things.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Does that have less things? Sure, they're gonna get more
hand me downs. I only had two older brothers and
I did wear a lot of their clothes like the three.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
The handy thing, though, is that we've got all girls.
This baby's not gonna know asine, I recently came across
this reel that when.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
I want to stop starting a that reel that went viral.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
That's all I do is spend my time on Instagram
doom scrolling Mom and Mia, who are quite a big
podcast producer. They recently posted a little video and it
was about smelling ants.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
I have a question for you Brits. If an ant
gets crushed near you, or like you step on an ant,
or like you kill an aunt by accident, can you
smell it?
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Like?
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Do you?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Can you smell any odor being emitted from the ant?
But I don't crush an ant near my face.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
No, but it doesn't matter, Like if you could, if I.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Walked on an ant and crushed it, I would smell
it from upright.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Or if you were sitting down at a picnic or
something and you crushed an ant by accident, have you
ever smelt like a weird smell coming from an ant? No?
But this is all weird common No. Then the thing
is is you can't smell ants? Oh no, what have
I got to do? So apparently this is like the
most useless superpower that there is. And there are some
people in the world who can smell ants, and there
(24:30):
are some people who can't. And I can smell ants,
and I always thought ants smell awful if they've been
stepped on, and everyone can smell them. But apparently it's
only twenty percent of the population can smell ant.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
So if you're walking down the street, just walking, there's
a little ant trail you step on and keep walking.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
You snow.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
For example, like if I'm out in the backyard playing
with the girls, like on the courtyard area, and I'm
sitting on the ground and I put my hand down
and I've squished an ant on my hand, and then
you smell your hair cut No, no, no, no, even if
I brush it off, I'm not sniffing a hair, smell
it like if it's crushed on me or near me.
The smell is so pungent and like peppery and weird.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Okay, so tawk me through this. Is there a point? No?
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Okay, great, just wanted to check if there was a
purpose to that. I'm glad that you can smell ants, lore,
I'm happy for you.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
You don't want to talk about ants, sniffer, No, I'm good.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Apparently only twenty percent of the population can smell ants.
Brittany can't smell the rain.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
That's not no.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
The more important part of this is I said I
can't smell rain. I got abuse hurled at me by
everyone in this room saying, yes I can. Every single
human can smell rain, and I said, no, they can't
produce the grace. You did some googling there, What did
you come up with about rain smelling?
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Uh? Not, everyone can smell the rain. I am thank
you sent into orbit. I am on another planet.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Now you can also call me Katy Perry. So the
smell of rain is the word for it is called petrochor.
I thought it was literally a basic human joy. I
thought every single person it was like watching.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
A sunset sniff in the rain. Answer.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
It's not a pleasant smell. So I don't think you
should be jealous about that one. If you can't smell
the rain, that to me is absolutely shocking.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
I'm doing okay, though, I don't know. You're gonna no,
we're gonna end this conversation. You're gonna need to book
yourself in the therapy.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
The fact that you've missed out on this your whole life,
it's insane to me.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
We are of.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Equal success here, and I've also grown up not smelling rain,
Like it hasn't altered my life's journey.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
But you haven't felt true joy passion. I don't know
what happened.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
I don't know if this happened off the back of COVID.
I have been able to start smelling it loosely the.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Last couple of years.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
So like, I get something and it's still a new thing,
and I'm like, is that the rain?
Speaker 1 (26:38):
So I think I'm smelling it.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
So you gained powers post COVID, because most people lost
their powers post COVID. It's like this really earthy, rich,
muddy smell, but it's it's nice. I know I'm not
describing it well, but it smells beautiful.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Do you want to know something else? Crazy? Oh god?
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Do you know that there are some people I don't
know what's call produced grace get on the Google, people
that like hear color, like every.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
That cop that cough. I'm getting green gunk. I'm getting
green gunk. Maybe I have whatever it is. Maybe I'm
getting chest infection, getting flue. It's called synesthesia. Oh synesthesia. Okay,
I did think it was that, but I think.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
I think for example, like so people can hear that color,
Like someone's voice can have a color.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
I think mine would be like floral pink. Like that's
what I'm saying. Like, it's like it's in your face.
What do you reply?
Speaker 2 (27:30):
I have seen this before, and there's a little boy
online who does this and like every so, like every
key on a piano has a different color attached to it,
and that was how they found out that he sees
the same colors. And in the comment section, what was
really interesting is that there were heaps of other people
who had this same I don't know what you'd call it.
It's not condition, not a disorder, but just way of
I guess perceiving the world. So he would be like, oh, there,
(27:52):
you know, E on a piano is green to me
and B is blue, And people in the comments who
also has whatever the word is. I'm not going to
pretend like thank you, yeah, exactly that one, Britt. They
also were seeing the identical color that he was seeing
for their own hearing.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
So it's fascinating.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
I don't know how I feel about it, but producer
Grace is telling us that's enough of the conversation.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Everybody who can't smell rain or smell ants.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
I'm so sorry. You know, Laura, I don't know if you.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Have ever had like a horror housemate story, but there
is an article online that is absolutely sending me. There's
a twenty four year old guy that says that his roommate,
the roommate from Hell, went into the fridge and stole
his cake.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Like a whole cake, cake like piece.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Yep. I want to eat this cake. It's not mine.
I'm going to eat it anyway. I'm going to ignore
everything else and eat it.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Why was the cake in his room? It was in
the fridge. Oh sorry, it was a room mate. The
cake wasn't under the bed like he said.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
He went into his room and took his cake, and
I was like, weird place to keep.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Your cake, par okay, Well just stay with me. So
his roommate's gone and stole the cake. Turns out he's
allergic to something in the cake. He had like a
full reaction, had to go to the hospital in an ambulance,
had to get an EpiPen, like this was a really
serious condition. Off the back of that, he got a
bill for all the medical fees. He then thinks it's
(29:11):
not fair that he has to pay it because it
wasn't his cake. So he has passed the bill onto
his flatmate, who's he stole his cake?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Are you following me?
Speaker 2 (29:19):
If I made that stit, you made it really convoluted.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
But I understand it's saying dolly'srmate's cake. He had an
allergic reaction, went to hospital, a huge medical bill. Then
he was like, do you know what stuff you You
poisoned me with your cake? You pay it And the
flatmate's like, bro, you stole my cake.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
You poisoned yourself.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
What I love about that story is he told it
the exact same way, just not animated the second time, just.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Sort of faster.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
If you're going to take your housemates feet firstly, if
you if you're allergic, I would say by the age
of twenty four, you're probably aware of the things that
you're unaflacted to normally not everyone, but like you would
normally have a bit of a gauge of what it
is that you're allergic to. If you're going to go
into the fridge, take something that's very clearly not yours
of your housemates. If you end up in hospital, that's
on new Paler. You're paying for those bills. You also
(30:06):
should have to pay for those bills and the caque.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
But it's like stealing a car and then crashing it
and then saying that they need to pay your hospital bills,
like when you stole it.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
It's the same thing. It's wild to me that he
even thought he could pass his bill on. Do you
know what my old housemate used to do.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
This was we were in our twenties and like no
one had any money because we're all UNI students and
we were just doing our best. But I used to
really like connoisseur ice cream. It was like my one treat.
I would always buy the same one Macadamian. I had
it in the freezer, and this dude I live with
would eat the.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Entire tub in like three days. It would be got.
I wouldn't have even had a scoop and he would have.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Eaten the whole thing so rude, So then he would
replace it, but he would always replace it with just
like the no name, no frills, whatever. It was that
the cheapest version of ice cream that he could get.
And he used to make me so irate because I
was like, you can't substitute something for something less, absolutely not,
And then he would not eat that because he didn't
like it, and I was like, well, no one does.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
We've got Georgia on that bad. I didn't end up
in hospital. Georgia g a horror house meat story.
Speaker 6 (31:02):
I do.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
So.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
I had a housemate who had a bit of a
habit of borrowing and not replacing, you know, the standard,
and so we sort of sat on it for a while.
We didn't say much until one day we found saucy
fingerprints in the butter.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Oh is making himself a sausage sandwich and he's spreading
it with his fingers.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
No, maybe I don't, Yeah, straight from the my kids
do that.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
But therefore it's actually revolting. No one should eat butter
on its own, whether it's.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
A finger My kids do it. They eat it straight
straight from the straight from the sauce.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
But then the real kicker is that we asked him
about it and just, you know, can you not do that?
And he burst into tears.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
How old was this guy.
Speaker 6 (31:49):
Like fully grown? I think at the time he was
like twenty eight orthing like that said about I don't know,
but I felt terrible about it because, you know, maybe
the guy has stuff going on. I don't know, So
I felt terrible, and I brought him some chocolate to apologize.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
No.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
No.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
I also think that this just screams as someone who's
highly sensitive to criticism, like there's no way that anyone
who's you know, of sound mine.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Is crying over that.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
They'd be like, yeah, you got me, shouldn't do that,
that's bad.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
What ended up happening? Did you how long just stay
with this guy? Live with him? No?
Speaker 6 (32:22):
So he was my partner's brumete that I ended up
just sort of being around. But yes, I bought him
chocolate and then he said sorry, but then did it again.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
He's a repeaterd fan.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Do you know what my most hated thing in the world,
Like there is sorry, nothing food.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
My most hated food is butter.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Like the thought of butter in my mouth or on
my fingertips is the equivalent of people when they have
nails on a chalkboard.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
You know that that visceral feel like I love the
pa you've taken home from that You're so upset by
the butter story.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Trees bumps because I'm thinking about butter touching me.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
I've lived in a lot of sharehouses. I've had so
many different housemates over the years, and I feel like
I've had a couple of horror housemates as well. I
lived with this one guy. He was in a long
distance relationship. You know, he barely got to speak to
his partner because the timing difference was like very other
side of the world. And he was a little bit
of a hermit, so we lacked to say in his
own room a lot. He also had the rule that
(33:21):
no one in the house was allowed to go into
his bedroom.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Ever, doesn't matter what had happen, do not enter my room. Yeah, fine,
it was.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Like a teenage boys room, but he wasn't a teenage
boy anyway. This one day, we couldn't find the remote control,
and we just knew he'd taken it into his room
because he had the same TV in his room that
we had in the lound room, so he wasn't home
open the door. It is putrid like there is stuff everywhere.
But not only is there stuff everywhere, there is a lotion,
like a body lotion, right next to the bed, and
(33:48):
scrunched up bits of tissue all around his sad little
single bed all over the floor.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
But don't you shame this poor guy. The single bed
has nothing to do with no it's because it was
the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
It was the whole spectrum. It was overpoweringly disgusting that
a couple of weeks later he ended up moving out.
Those two things weren't correlative, but it was.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
You can't ask you not to go into his room.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
You cannot leave bodily fluids on the floor of anywhere.
It's still a communal household, even if it's your room.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Did you test them? I didn't step them. No, Okay,
do you know what? You actually can't talk? I know
I can talk, we can, but we're not listening. No,
you can.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
I happen to know your old housemates, and I happened
to have Jess on the line because I also happened
to know you weren't perfect.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Jess, don't you dare. I'm very very good friends.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
My old housemate, Jess in particular, who's also married Toness,
are two of my best friends.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
You would never throw me under the bar. Please, can
you have silence? Laura?
Speaker 5 (34:45):
Hi, jes Hi, Hi, tell.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Us what you had to deal with.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
Anyone that knows the love Laura knows that she wries
and a bit of payos. And we used to always
joke about this because Laura, you would either never changed
the toilet roll or you would change it to such
an deranged degree with nothing in between. So I'm talking like,
never ever ever change it, or we'd have five toilet
(35:10):
rolls half used on the go at any given time,
to the point where we joked, say, your favorite part
of the toilet roll was the gluey bit that you
just like unsticking your fresh roll of toilet paper. It
got to the point where Ness went around and grouped
up all of the toilet rolls. I think she put
them in your bed. Yeah, she put them in your bed.
It was absolutely unhinged.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
That's so passive aggressive. This is not asive.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
It was just outright aggressive. It was just pure aggression.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
This is the thing.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
So Jess and Ness are a couple, and like you guys,
both communicated very differently. You would just tell me when
something's wrong, but Ness would not say anything, just kind
of be quiet through the day and then send me
a passive aggressive dext when she got to it.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
But to be fair to you, in true Laura fashion,
about once a week, you would cook the whole house
the most delicious surf right, and everything would be forgiven
and we would just start the cycle again a fresh week.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Do you know what, I go to Laura's house now
and I have to take my own toilet paper. There
is never there's always empty roles in any bathroom in
your house.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
I don't know what it is. Yeah, it's like Matt's one.
I mean, he has a lot of bug bears with me.
But one of the things he hates about me is
that when I change a role, I don't take the
cardboard bit downstairs.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
I just put the cardboard bit on top of the.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Toilet roll for that to be someone else's problem.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Sorry, Jazz, you know what.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
You guys are so well putting out with me. I
love living with You're my favorite housemates of all my housemates.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
Trying to think of you.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
My favorite part of visiting you now is that every
time I go to your house, you say sorry for
the mess Like that, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Yeah? Totally all right, shut up, get on the phone,
Thank you, bye, Jess.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
Do you know I always had a really good housemaids.
I was just trying to think, but then I remember
this one thing. I lived with this guy who was
this is unheard of clean freak like to the point
that he sat me down one day and asked me
to leave. He told me I needed to move out
because I left an avocado seed once on the sink.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
I've seen your bathroom though, too, Britt. You're chaotic as well.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
That's not messy, though, that's just I have too many products.
I have like twenty five thousand products. But this was no.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
I was immaculate in his house. One avocado seat, and
he said, I think it's time for you to leave.
And you know what I said, No.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Yes, say, I think it's time for you to get therapy.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
I didn't leave. Yep, that's it, Britt.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
I know we've just gone from hobby horsing to cats
being stolen, but it's been.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
A real journey this show. Let me tell you. Yeah,
what's happened to you?
Speaker 2 (37:26):
No, my cat hasn't been stolen. I have a cat
named Raspberry. As much to my husband's dismay, because I'm
sure he'd love the cat to be stolen.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
He's not a fan. The cat still lives with us.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
But it did get me thinking because there is a
woman who is in Zurich and she's currently in courts
at the moment for feeding her neighbor's cat.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Now hear me out. She's sixty eight years old.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
She intentionally instored a cat flap on her door so
that Leo, the neighbor's cat could just pop over any
time that the cat liked.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
Well, what's wrong with this story? This sounds wholesome.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Well, the people who are the rightful owners of the
cat put in a complaint asked this lovely old lady
to stop feeding the cat.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
She refused. She kept feeding the cat.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
The problem is, ten months later, Leo the cat no
longer wants to go home.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
It wants to live with the feeder smile.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
And so they've taken her to court, and it's currently
going through the court systems. And it's called systematically feeding
a cat that is not yours. So that cannot be
a law that is not real. So it's a criminal
offense in Switzerland. I don't know whether it's a criminal
offense in Australia. But let me tell you, I have
a lovely neighbor. She's so so sweet. She lives on
(38:31):
her own and we have a cat, and our cat
sometimes during the day just disappears for long periods of time.
I know she only kind of goes in our yard
or the neighbor's yard. Like she's not a wandering cat,
because she's quite timid and scared of literally everything.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
But some days.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Gone disappeared, vanished, And I'm pretty certain she's inside my
neighbor's house because my kids were talking to my neighbor
the other day and she was talking about how much
she loves having the cat over, and You're like, when
do you have the cat?
Speaker 1 (38:59):
I was like, what do you me?
Speaker 2 (39:00):
The cat doesn't come over Anyway, Molly came inside and
she was like, Mom, I reckon, Raspberry's been living at
Ronda's house.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Do you reckon?
Speaker 3 (39:09):
She might be too, but okay, worst case, I don't mind.
I think Rond would treat it well. Not that I
think she probably has a good life there. Maybe Rasberry
should move in with Rohonda.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
No, I love my cat.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
I don't want it to move in, But I also
want her to know that there's many forms of love
and she can get it from the neighbor as well.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
She want to know, okay, hang on. I had a
Border Collie called Mia, Love of my Life.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
I was about twenty three years old, and she was
getting fatter and fatter, and she was only about four
years old.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
And you knew what wasn't coming from her.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
I knew what I was feeding her, and I would
leave her in the day in the morning, come home
in the afternoon. She was there to greet me, and
I was like, this is a real problem, and I
know there are some diseases that she could have that
made to put on weight. So I took her to
the vet, had the vet check her out, and the
vet was like, she's not coming back with anything, but
they're like, you need to stop feeding it.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
I was like, I'm barely feeding her.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
Like she's on the street, just dye it to lose weight,
and she was getting bigger and bigger.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
We ended up having to install cameras.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
What she was doing, my border Collie was she would
jump up onto the bins outside, jump over the fence
a big fence to the ground outside, walk down into
the street to the retirement village, spend the day at
the retirement village, the hold day whole roast chickens. Every
single retirement village person Newa would feed her and I
(40:26):
ended up figuring it out.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
They were like, oh, she's been coming every day for
a year.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
Then she would bring herself home, sneak back in the
back like nothing ever happened.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
That's really sad, though, because then if you stop her
from going, all of those old people who love seeing
their dog, their dog who visited them every day, they're
one piece of joy that it brings them.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
I said she could still come. She used to visit,
but I said, you guys can't feed her anymore. They yeah,
they stopped feeding herp but Mia still went down to visit.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
She made their day. But I was like, you can't
give a roast chickens. They were giving a whole chicken.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
I also think in this instance, like if you've got
an issue with your cat going to the neighbor's house,
keep a cat inside, Like the plan is simple.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
I know that. Like I don't understand how this.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Couple and this cat and this old woman ended up
in court in Zurich. I'm like, surely, if the issue
is is that your cat is leaving your apartment and
going in the cat flap door that your neighbor installed.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
Just don't let it out.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Like that makes no sense to me. I'm not against it.
I think it's fine, but I'm sure that there are
other people who have had far worse versions of this.
I just think my cat is happily being co parented
at the moment, and she's living a great life.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
Let her live the best life with Ruth. Ruth
