Speaker 1 (00:00):
This episode was recorded on Cameragle Land.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Hi, guys, and welcome back to another episode of Life
on Cut. I'm Laura, I'm britty. I just almost choked
and simultaneously pierced my pants at the same time, which
is very convenient because it's what we're talking about on
today's show.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
But generally speaking, they do come hand in hand, don't they.
Don't You usually wi when you like laugh or cough
for choke.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Well, apparently if you do choke and you black out,
you we yourself that. But that's a bit dramatic. So well,
you haven't blacked out? No I did it? No, no, sorry,
I swallowed water in down the wrong hole and I
have no public floor anymore. Do you know?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
That's your zip aspiration.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I aspirated and then perspirated, but from my vagina.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
China, yes, not even actually vagina, it's you read thraw. Yeah, okay, glad,
we're like juice.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
And Grace is like what is wrong with you? And
let me tell you Grace a lot.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Okay. Anyway, this is our radio show, guys, Leah, So
if you missed it, this is all of the best bits.
When they pick up this.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Week, all round it up for you in a nice,
snacky little more.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Also, if you missed any of the show I have,
and I know I just kind of gave a real
spoiler away myself. I have hit a point in pregnancy.
It's a bit of an issue now, and that is
that with this third pregnancy, I have zero pelvic floor
and I on the daily am wetting my pants and
it's a place I don't want to be in, but
I'm here.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Surely by three deep, it's hard to not have that.
Like I understand, women, you could do all the pelvic
floor you want, and the first one is definitely like
doable to maintain your pelvic floor strength. But by the
third one, isn't it like as much as you do,
it's still sort of a little bit.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
To be fair, I'm not listen to lovely. I am
not an expert in this field, and I'm sure there
will be a people who listen to this who work
in pelvic floor and know all about it. Yeah, incorrect,
But I have found that it's gotten progressively worse. However,
And I know I used to make lots of jokes
about it, like it is something you can improve, because
my pelvic floor was pretty bad after Lola then it
(01:55):
got great again, but pregnant this time. I just find
it's the pressure and all. So I think the fact
that the orientation of the baby, that my baby's breach
at the moment that it's putting so much pressure right
on my bladder and I am not making it to
the bathroom and I breach.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Were you you?
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I'm had to have a cesarean.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
No, she birthed me.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I was breach by first, legs folded behind my head
and I came out.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
They don't really do that anymore. I know they're absolutely
do you can. You can opt for it if you
want to, but I don't think they do. It's too
dangerous now if you're a breach, they really don't. That's
not really a thing that they give you a lot
of choice in. So you know how my.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Legs, sorry, my hips pop out all the time, like
I can dislocate them on the spot. Now, I've always
had like this kind of hip displasier thing. Yeah, it's
from when I was born. So if a baby was
born like I was now, it would be in the
hip plaster for like three to six months.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
When they do the little leg legs spready hip brace.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
But back in my day, they're like, of you go anywhere?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
My legs were flying around for months and I still
have problems to this day from that.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
With clicking hips.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
There you go long?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Have I known you for now?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
You I could pop it out right now? Have you
never seen I've seen you click your hips before. Also,
just when you're in dancing and I went and watched you,
I was like, how does she make her hips through that?
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Now?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I know they popped out in the dance. That was
my worry.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Everyone was dancing because he's like more hip action. I
was like, well, you're gonna be putting my heap back in.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
So what happens if it pops out? Do you just
it just goes back in? It sounds funny.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I can almost just like I'm doing it now, but
I can almost just clench my butt cheeks. It happens
so frequently that I just clenched my button and it
almost just slips back in.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
It happens a lot in sex.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
It has.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Sex is like the leg positions and stuff. Quite often
I'm like, oh stop and like ben or like click
it back in?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
But does it hurt? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Oh great, okay.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Cool, It's not a proper disslocation. It's almost called like
a sub blox. So it's sort of just like a
slip in and out if you want. So it's like
it happens for a minute and it hurts us in
this pressure and you can feel it's not in the
right spot, but it's so quick that.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
You just pushed it back in.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah, but it's not like for someone who's actually okay,
that's why I just say they're clickie like they're called
clickie hips.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Okay, Well, I'm just pissed myself.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Anyway, something else we discovered which I think is genuinely
so interesting, and you guys need to have a listen,
go and chat to your partners and your friends about it.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
But like, how do you read a book and not
how do you read it like.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
From start to finish, but do you read it with
voices in your head?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Do you have like male female?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Do you act it out or you're just reading like
a page like you're reading a dictionary.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah, do you narrate it?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Because one of the people in our team narrates the
book in accents and.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Also in different voices. Well legend, Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Wonder who that could possibly feel. Anyways, all of that
is coming on the show and so much more. Have
a listen. There's a new theory that's going around. It's
a new theory every second day. It's called the occasion theory. Now,
this is a theory that you can put into practice
if you suspect that maybe you were dating a narcissist.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
If you suspect them maybe you're dating a narcissist. I
don't think you need to be putting practice theories into place.
You probably need to escape.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
No, But the thing is is like a lot of
people have been in relationships where you know you're you're in,
you're invested, you've been with them for six months, a year,
whatever it is, and you start to wonder if the
way you're being treated is firstly normal, if you're the
problem or they're the problem. And there's a lot of
conversation around these days around everyone being a narcissist or
narcissism in general.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
I agree, and I do think the term is thrown
around a little bit too loosely, the term narcissism.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
But I'm here for this theory.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
What is it I guess about the occasion.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Have a listen to this The.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
Quickest way to find out if you're dating a narcissist,
is when you have a special occasion coming up, whether
it's your friend's birthday and whatever. Watch how they treat
you the days, the nights, the morning leading up to
that occasion, the moment something else is making you happy
and the attention is going off them. They can't stand it.
The first thing they're going to try and do is
prove to you that your happiness depends on their mood.
(05:46):
If this was a real occasion coming up, you would
be absolutely miserable going to it, and that's their goal.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Mic Drop, what are you looking at me for? Response?
I don't know what I'm supposed to say here.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I think it's just a bit of a stretch.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
I just think, yes, there might be something to that
for sure, Like, of course, a true narcissist is going
to make something about them.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
That's their mo right.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
They're going to want to ruin your happiness and make
it about them. But I think this isn't a standalone test,
Like there is a big chance your partner just doesn't
want to go to your sister's kid's birthday party, and
maybe that they're throwing a spanner in the world.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I don't know I see I heard this, and I
was like, you know what. Of course, it's not going
to be a blanket rule. It's not black and white,
but I think it's a pretty clear indicator. Like, for example,
if I was really excited about your wedding, brit and
then my husband did something that was like purposefully, I
don't mean like they actually seen wedding like he did,
they actually made the wedding about himself. If they accidentally
(06:44):
got sick or you know, I'm not talking about that,
but I mean like purposely picking a fight or purposely
doing something that then brings that entire day down. I
would say that they are hallmark signs that maybe not
they're a narcissist, but that they have narcissistic tendencies.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
This is my worry, right, hear me out.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I worry that when we label something like that, because
we love to give everything a label in life, I
just worry that if we start to say things like,
you know what, they've made this moment about them in
the lead up to my sister's birthday, like narcissists, I
just don't want to be dropped throwing the term around
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Also, you know, not everyone who cheats as a narcissist,
and not everyone who does. Like you know, they can
be narcissistic in tendencies, but doesn't make them. We probably
shouldn't be diagnosed psychological problems, but here we are, and
there is the world pick there is the world of
social media for that. Look, I mean, I've want to
tread it carefully. If you date someone who has narcissistic
personality disorder or they have narcissistic tendencies, it's very rare
(07:38):
for a narcissist to go and sit down with a
therapist and be like, do you think it's me that's
the problem, because it's part of the whole The whole
concept around narcissism is that they are the most superior person.
So they're not seeking out to figure out whether or
not they're the problem or not, so they don't think
they are.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
It was my mum's wedding, and.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
This is a guy I dated for quite a while,
and look, there was a lot of things that he
did that I would say would throw him into this
kettle of fish without someone diagnosing him. And it was
my mum's wedding. It was a really really big deal,
and he knew how what a big deal it was.
And the night before the wedding, because one of his
friends had gone through a break up recently, he went
(08:15):
out and got incredibly drunk, to the point where they
didn't get home until seven in the morning, and he
had to be up and dressed and ready to go
to the wedding by ten am. And I just remember
it totally ruined that entire thing for me. And so
when I listened to this, I was like, I was like, look,
it maybe is too black and white to use this
as a diagnostic tool.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I was like, I think that there's some merit to it,
but some people.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Are also just assholes, Like sometimes they are like sometimes
you're just a jerk off.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
And I dated them. Yeah, no, no, all of them.
Some of them are okay, but this one in particular.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Yeah, he particularly was an a hole.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Like you know, but I don't know. I'm on the
fence with it.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I think, don't go home and diagnose your partner as
an a hole if they don't pass occasion theory.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
But maybe look a little bit deeper if they are
messing up all.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Your special occasions. But like, let's relax on the labels.
We are talking about DIY fails. So if you've ever
tried to DIY something yourself, give us a call here
at the pickup. Now. The reason why this has come
up is because Britt, you and I both saw something
on the weekend that raised a few questions, and it
has to do with our wonderful producer, Grace.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Grace was definitely not on the case on the weekend.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Grace was not on the case. Were changed and thank
god you're still here to tell the tale. Yes, I
tried to repot a gigantic cactus and I think nearly
actually died in the process.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I reckon people have died by cactus before.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
If you google that, look probably if someone's fallen out
of a building and landed in a cactus, that could
do it. But I once had a cactus fall on me.
I was also trying to move it, and it was
poorly weighted the whole thing. It was one of those
situations where you look at something and you go, this
could end badly, but you do it anyway, and then
the exact thing that you knew was going to happen happens,
and my whole arm was full of cactus spines.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Can I just tell you so sorry, Brittany is on
the case. There have been documented cases of deaths involving
cactuses or cactive.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Thank god, we gurgled.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
They are rare, but one notable incident involved a man.
He was killed when the cactus arm fell on him
after he shot it with a gun.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Also but like it can happen. Grace also one.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Of those instances where I bet as it was happening.
He was like, I really messed that up. Grace set
the scene.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
So I moved into a new place and it came
with a giant cactus on the veranda, but it.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Was top heavy.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
It was falling over us, so it was kind of
like looped with this nylon rope and like hanging there,
and it just looked awful.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
It looks so depressing. The reason why the old owners
left it there though, is purely because it was it
was too much of a hazard to move it.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
They didn't want to get impaled.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
But hey, we're gonna up the rent. We're throwing in
a cac dice. No one's touch it.
Speaker 7 (10:49):
So I decided I was like, we can absolutely do this.
We've got a towel, we've got some gloves. It's gonna
be fine, we got it out of the pot. We
took all the dirt out, and then trying to get
it into the pot was where we ran into trouble
because we couldn't lift it without impaling ourselves with spines.
So I had the bright idea to kind of create
like a.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Hench like bench. It was a system like a system, yes,
so I just going through every word that rhymes with wedge,
a bench, a bench, the stenche.
Speaker 7 (11:20):
So I wrapped the cactus up and then threw it
over the like top of the veranda, and I was
going to pull it up, and I was like, this
is going so well. I'm practically an inventor, and all
of a sudden, the rope just snaps.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Let's just play the audio. So then we wheezing laughing.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
Is my wife happens to have the most contagious laugh
in the world, And I'm very grateful.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Honestly, sounds like we've superimposed, like you know, roadrunners something
doing in there. It's not. That's just how it sounded like.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
You were more at risk of death by the beam breaking.
So you put you put the rope over a beam.
You can hear the beam like, oh my god, you're
actually so lucky didn't.
Speaker 7 (12:10):
I I'm very lucky, And I watched that footage back
and I went, I'm not going to do that again.
But we did eventually get the characters into its new pot.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
No one, but however, we do care about your DIY fails.
If you've got some, give us a call. We've got
Italia on the line to Talia.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
What was your DIY fail?
Speaker 8 (12:29):
Hi, laura'stan, No, it's okay, what.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Happened with your DIY?
Speaker 9 (12:43):
So it was a long.
Speaker 10 (12:43):
Weekend and it was our first house. Me and my
hubby decided to save some money and do the ceiling
insulation ourselves. And turns out I thought the beams were
only a suggestion, not to rule to walk on and
I fell through ceiling.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Oh my god, did you all the way through or
did you get stuck?
Speaker 9 (13:05):
No?
Speaker 10 (13:06):
So my catlike instincts kicked in and I actually managed
to grab onto the beam and next thing I know,
I'm just hanging in my lounge room.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
So you just turned yourself into a human chandilyer hanging
from the ceiling.
Speaker 10 (13:19):
Yeah that's right. Yeah pretty much.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Wow.
Speaker 10 (13:22):
Yeah there was no injuries either, So yeah, I came
out pretty good.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Oh my God, I tell you that could have ended
so much worse. That's brilliant. All right, we've got Sophie
on the line. Sophie, what is your doy fail?
Speaker 9 (13:34):
I had a friend I went to UNI with who
decided to try and save some money and do it
at home Brazilian and actually got her flap stuck together.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Okay, this is coming from someone who I did my
own Brazilians from like fifteen until now. I still doing
my home on my own. It has happened before it
can happen. If you leave the wax too long, you
don't definitely get with from apart. Look, if this happened
to anyone, a little bit of lukewarm water, dab it
on sittinge bar, Yeah, lip the warm water. But you
definitely don't try and just rip them apart.
Speaker 9 (14:08):
Wow, to cut them apart, Oh my, what good tactic.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
That is good and you know cut that back open.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Well, she's like, let's cut my losses just wow.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
That seems like a really drastic measure to take when
there was probably.
Speaker 9 (14:26):
On the way.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Oh wow, people, how were you when she told you
this story?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Traumatized?
Speaker 9 (14:31):
Yeah, I've never recovered.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
It's literally I'm like I've never had a Brazilian even
professionally done, and since you told me that, I was like,
I can never it's laser only. Oh so thanks for
the call. Do you know what, if anyone's considering DIY,
maybe this week, this weekend, think about it. There's people
that are professionals, and they're professionals for a reason. We'll
just get some maybe.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
I tell you what, Laura, it is a dog eat
dog world out there in the dating community, isn't it.
I mean you wouldn't know you've been married for seven years.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Yeah, but probably that I dated everyone, so we had
a good litmus.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Don't worry.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
I mean I also just did get married.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
I am off the market, but I have a bunch
of single friends that are constantly like talking to me
about what the online dating world is like. And it
is really hard, and I have bad news. It's getting harder.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Do you think it's getting harder or do you think
it's just always been like ever since online dating has come,
because you've just got the opportunity of choice. There's so
many people, it's kind of like gamified online dating.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Well, I think it's getting harder because if you think
about when online dating started it was just like signed
up and had at it. Like men, women went on,
you put your age on and basically that was it.
But it's gotten so there's so many layers. It's gotten
so complicated. And now Tinder has released well it's a trial.
They're trialing a new feature that is not good news
(15:48):
for our short kings.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
You can basically filter now for height.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
So if you say I only want a tall guy,
which you know most women say I only want a
tall guy, it filters them out and then our short
kings not even given a chance. It is causing a
lot of stir online because there are a lot of
people that are all for this feature, like I guess
a lot of women that know that they only want
a tall guy.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
They're all for it.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
But there's a lot of people that are saying it's
actually discrimination, like you are filtering out on the way
that I look physically like my physical appearance, and I
have to say I'm on their side. I don't think
we should be having a high filter for online dating.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
It's a weird one, isn't it, because it really kind
of comes into this gray area. It's like having a
bald filter, or it's like having a weight filter a
weight filter. The only thing though, is if you are
a woman and you are particularly tall, like a really
really tall girl, or you are a guy and you're
a particularly short guy, maybe it just removes some of
(16:45):
the admin because I would dare say that normally, I
don't know that this is a stereotype. Don't want to
get myself into trouble. But often really tall girls and
really short guys don't seem to be a perfect match.
It seems as though like that would probably be the
only time that it would come in hand.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Yeah, but then maybe I mean not maybe you don't
have to have a filter for that. People can put
their height on their bio themselves anyway, So then what's
the difference, because you're still given the choice like zac
Efron hot megababe, he's tiny, but people would be, yeah,
I'm taller than zach Efron' he's not tall man energy
he does, he's got BD energy. But my point is,
(17:22):
like I do think, and in the words of producer Grace,
you're robbing yourself of love, like you're robbing yourself with
the potential. I've dated people that are shorter than me.
They've been fantastic. People did it work out, No, but
it wasn't because of their height.
Speaker 9 (17:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Look, I mean I know we made jokes.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I've my one of my ex boyfriends was quite a
bit shorter than me, and it never made a difference.
But I do think that if I had had the
height restriction on Tinder. Firstly, I would never have met him,
but also I think I probably would have used it,
and so I would have ruled him out because I
don't know I am. I guess I'm relatively tall for
a girl. What am I like one hundred and seventy
(17:56):
seven centimeters? Yeah, which I would say that in when
I was online dating, I definitely rocked up to a
couple of dates where my dates were particularly short and
I knew we both kind of met each other and
were like, well, should have talked about that. I wish
we'd asked, you know. And it's not like it should
be a big deal, but I think it is for
(18:16):
a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I think that a lot of people care about heart.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Yeah, but then why can't we just ask have those conversations,
talk to someone, put it in your bio. I think
the fact that we can now filter out people based
on appearance.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
For me is yucky. I don't like it.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
And a lot of the short king men or other
people are now sort of like firing back, saying cool,
if you want to filter from that, how do you
feel if we put a weight.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Filter on which which is all a bit silly, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
No one's a bit tipped for tab But I understand
what they're saying from that, Like I understand that they're
offended that people can filter them out based on their
physical appearance that they can't change.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Yeah, And I guess the only thing is is like
if someone's borderline, like if someone is tall, borderline to
your preference, you know, like they might be a little
bit shorter than what you think you want in a person.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
But they're amazing in every other capacity.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Like that seems a bit silly to rule someone out
because you've got a bit of a high preference, you
know whatever.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
I beggars can't be chooses too. If you're looking for
for love, don't sing all those men out. Zendea didn't,
And she's engaged to Tom Holland and a beautiful couple,
very happy.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Thank you so much for that for it. That's beautiful. Now,
I mean, I'm sure some of you know if you
listen to the show, but it might be used to
anyone who's new. I am currently pregnant with my third baby,
and let me tell you, third pregnancy is a whole
different kettle of fish to the first one and the
second one just like doesn't even touch the sides, really,
fee doesn't well that, Yeah, the baby's just going to
(19:37):
shoot straight out. Isn't even going to have any resistance. No,
I didn't mean. I didn't mean you were loose when
you said it.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
No, I meant like, it doesn't touch the side, put
your legs in the steir it to shoot it out.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
I meant as him, like it HiT's different, Like again.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
That could be taking the wrong way. It is going
to touch the sides on the way out.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
I mean it, he's different.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Like you're less involved in, Like you're like it'll come
in nine months because you've done it twice and you're busy.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Yeah. Look, I love that you were like, no, I
still will touch you. But I was like, one can
only hope that it does still touch the size as
it comes out. But anyway, look, it is very different.
And I say this because I feel like this pregnancy
has just completely gotten away from me, and sometimes I
feel pretty good since I've gotten my reflux under control
that I often actually just forget that I'm pregnant. I
(20:22):
forget you're pregnant, Yeah, until I get Britt was talking
about just how we should do this morning. She was like, Oh,
we should really do this, Like you should do a
big party at the end of the year, like a
show party, and we'll invite all our listeners and we
can do it on a boat. And I was like,
I'll have a six week old baby, but she sounds good,
and I was like, what completely blanked that I was
having a kid. But anyway, look, every so often I
get a reminder like I'll get a massive thump to
(20:43):
the uterus because I'll get a big, solid kick, and
I'm I'm well passed halfway now.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I think I'm about twenty five weeks.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
And I just the other day discovered that I've hit
a part of pregnancy or a new stage that I
never got to in my first or second and it
was incredibly humbling. So we were all in the office
having a little dance. We were filming some content, and
part of that was that we had to like, you know,
really kind of get into this dance that we were doing,
and I did. I was really channeling my nineteen year
(21:10):
old self being at the nightclubs, and I dropped it
like it's hot, and I did a liberated woman drop.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
I did live my best life drop, and I got to.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
The bottom of that drop.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
I got low and I got low. I got low,
I got low, and then I pissed my pants at the.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Bottom of bottom jeans. It was I didn't and I'm
not just talking about tiny bit of bladder leakage. I
got to the bottom of that drop and I fully
wet myself. Well maybe it won't, Cutch the scientist, this
just got to shoot right in and there was something
incredibly I don't even want to say humbling souse. I
know I've said that, but it was just humiliating having
to stop and be like, sorry, everybody, I have to
(21:44):
go to the bathroom. And now the problem is is
like I don't know whether I did damage, or whether
I've just set things off, or this kid is just
on my bladder in a way that it shouldn't.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
I don't think you did damage in your liberated woman drop,
because it's just it's just part and parcel right.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Third pregnancy potentially, but it had happened prior, and now
if I cough too hard, if I sneeze too hard,
we yeah, it's just it's become part of my everyday staple.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
You're not alone, Laura.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
There are some pretty high statistics on women that having continents.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I don't want you to be embarrassed it. We all
pretended it didn't happen.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
We all turned a blind eye.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
And I even spilt my water bottle to.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Try and cover, and someone mopped up the puddle.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
So and someone said what is this And I said, sorry,
clumsy me again, I spilled.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
It's my lime cordial juice. Apologies.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
You know why I.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Think I forget you're pregnant is because on the rare
occasions I do remember, I try and feel it moving.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
You're like, oh, it's so movie.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Every time I go and try and touch it, it
just freezes, like it doesn't want to move for me.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
I think it knows. It's because you're very aggressive anytime
you come over. Yeah, so like just before this is
literally just before we started the show, I was like, oh,
the baby's kicking. Heaps come and feel and Brick came
over and she didn't stick her hand on my bell.
She gave me an off a cut. You just don't
you don't rest your hand, you like really get in there.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
And then I had to sort of poke it to
make it move.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Do you know I'm still trying to like.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Feel it out.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
And then Britz says, Oh, don't worry, I have a
technique to get it to move. She lifts up my
shirt and gives me a raspberry on my stomach. I'm
a full grown woman having my third baby, and I
don't think I've had a raspberry in a whole lot.
Fifteen years. No, fifteen years, twenty five years, A long time,
you're well, long time, you're welcome. It is enjoyed. It.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
It is a trick that you are supposed to do.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Like it must be like the vibrations or something like
when you do a raspberry it makes it tickle or something.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
I don't believe that for a while. Second, I don't
believe that giving someone a raspberry makes a baby move
in their belly. Here we go, No, actually, I stand corrected.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
No, blowing raspberries and a pregnant belly is unlikely to
do anything. There you go, Well, I just treated you
to a little little Raspberry for your for your Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Well, I stand corrected. I've been Raspberry and a lot
of pregnant women. I hope you enjoyed it as much
as I did. You live and you learn it.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
I'm mind blown, mind blown. Oh god, Laura, I'm laughing
thinking about this. So I took my new husband Ben
to New Zealand on the weekend.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Very lucky.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
New Zealand is so close. Two and a half hours bang,
you're there.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
We went to Queenstown and now Ben was quite excited
about this because he was made aware that there aren't
any like dangerous animals there because he's He's Swiss, He's
very scared of animals.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Here snakes totally. I was about to say, I've never
met anyone who is as afraid of spiders as Ben is. Like,
he sends brit inside to check their house first before
he goes there.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Every night, I have to screen the house. He has
to watch me look in the wardrobes, under the pillows.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Of the bed.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
It's cute.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Whatever.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
So we go to New Zealand and this this that
finds really interesting. So Ben is a professional footballer like soccer,
and in their contracts they have something that I call
the fun clause. It is a clause that basically, I say,
doesn't allow fun. You can't do anything that could remotely
(24:56):
end in an injury or danger or I'm talking things
like mountain bike riding, skiing, snowboarding.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
We can't go bungee jumping like anything.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
When you say mountain bike riding. Though. We were talking
about it just before you guys went away, and I
was like, oh, you should get like the e bikes
and go around the lake in Wanaka. You go like
five daughters and now like I did it with the kids.
And he was like, no, I can't do that, it's
too dangerous. Might hurt myself. Yeah, And I was like,
so what can you do? Well?
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Right, So New Zealand, if you guys know, it's like
the adventure capital.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
There's so much to do there.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
And I thought, okay, I have to come up with
an itinerary for him that is fun but no danger.
So I surched heigh and low, and I came up
with what I thought was the perfect idea.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
We went to it's called Deer Park.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
We went to a park that has deers in it.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Now, I know that doesn't sound very fun, but I
read and majestic. I read that you could feed.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Them, and I was like, you know what has beautiful views.
We're going to go and feed the deer. We're going
to feed some piglets. And there's like farm animals around,
and what you do is you drive around and you
get out whenever you see the animals because it's just
a free range park farm, and then you just feed them.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
So we're feeding some little piglets, super cute.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Then we continued up and there's the most beautiful deer right.
So we're feeding the deer and they'll eat out of
your hand. It's actually truly incredible. We were having a
lot of fun, like I was nailing it. Then we
go further up the hel and there was a sign
that said like if you see horned goats, don't get.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Out of your car.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
It actually said don't even stop your car right horned
goats run over them.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
So I was like, that's interesting.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Anyway, we see a pack of goats and I look
and there's no horns, so I was like cute. So
we get out of the car and I was like, Kurie,
let's feed them. Anyway, these goats were savage. Out of nowhere.
I have video go on to my Instagram to have
a look out of nowhere, about fifty goats started to
attack us. Basically like I was running for my life.
I had to abort my phone because I thought I
(26:47):
was gonna die by these goats. They're so savage. I
think they're really dumb. Then they chased us down.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
They did.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
They chased us down the hill anyway. You can hear
bending in the background of my footage being like, run.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Baby, run anyways, I'm running. We make it back in
the car and they jump on the car. I'm not kidding.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
It was similar to being in a game park in
South Africa and the lions are trying to get in,
Like that's what I thought.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
I don't know if they're dumb. I don't know if
that they go to dumb. Like we've been to a
national park before. It's called Simbia National Park. Took the
kids and there's a goat enclosure and Lola was only
about three years old and she got pounced by like
three goats at once, and the poor thing was under
the goats to pull the baby out. We're like, oh God.
But they just get very enthusiastic about food. They're very
(27:31):
food motivated animals.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Yeah, and that's why you can't go around the horned
goats anyway, So I got horned.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Basically, oh wait, so the goats. Wait, you got out
of the car, but you didn't establish that they had horns.
You said there was no horns on them.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Fifty horned goats were hiding. It's like they planned the attack.
It was like a chemic card.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
It was a militia attack of the horn.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Gway we get the car, which we actually could stop
laughing fens like. I thought this was supposed to be
not dangerous thing like he's like. I imagine if I
went back to my football club, said sorry, like I
can't play football.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
And mog attacked by a goat. I got impailed by
a goat. Are they New Zealand? Are they dumb?
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Grace? They're actually very intelligent.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Thank you. See they know how to get the food.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
I guess they were hiding and pounced on me. Is
the same thing else as I did? It was that
a full sentence.
Speaker 7 (28:12):
Some research suggests that goats are as intelligent as dogs.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
No way, I believe it. I believe it. Smart little things.
They're also very cute when they're babies. Sometimes I find
myself down a TikTok rabbit hole just watching not raby goats,
baby goats, and you know I'm gonna put a video on.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
I've got They do these little jumps, the baby ones.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
They're really cute.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
I got a video, so that made up for it.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Anyway, if you go to New Zealand, believe it or not,
I do recommend it. It was really fine. Just don't
get out around the horned goats. That's the persa from
Brittany on.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Well, Laura.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
It is that time of year again where Australia has
the version of the Oscars. It is Gold Loging nomination time.
The nominations will come out and do you know what,
the women.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Are absolutely cleaning up.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
There's only one bloke I think, Hamish I know, I
mean he's going to be literally dying.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
There's going to be one male who makes it into
the LOGI nomination who direct. It's going to be Hamish Blake.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
But there's so.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Many incredible women that have been nominated, but one I'm
very excited about TV Legend, TV veteran.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
I was in the jungle with her.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
She has hosted I'm a Celebrity, Get Me out of
here eleven times. She has been nominated for a Gold
LOGI four times and for some reason, is yet to win.
We're going to try and change that. Julia Morris, Welcome
to the show.
Speaker 9 (29:27):
Well, I couldn't be more thrilled to be here with you.
To glorious humans, Julia.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
We are hard on the campaign trail for you this year.
We are so behind you. I thought you were a
shoeing last year. But this year, it is twenty twenty five.
It is the year of Julia Morris.
Speaker 9 (29:41):
Surely it's the year of the old male involved. Oh
my god. Everyone's saying, what's the campaigning going to be? Like?
I'm like, no, I can barely like feed compass for
the pick up and drop off. I do not know
that I'm up the campaigning. You feel like a knucklehead campaigning.
So I'm like a friend of mine and I just
(30:02):
as a coincidentally, we're sort of whinging about how can
we don't you know? I was whinging she's not in television.
I was like, hey, com I keep sort of missing
out on bits and pieces. I know I am hosting
one of the biggest shows in the country, so it
seems a bit disingenuous, but I'm always, you know, looking
for like, what's the next thing going to be? How
do I broaden out, you know, just to earn money
to pay the orgust? Oh we all know as a
(30:25):
matter of time, everybody loves the sound of slapping. When
I released the double d's it sounds like you're at
oc Cob affairs. And that's another story altogether. I have
been like a complete maniac. So the thought of now
going into some weird self promotion thing, my maid and
I I said to her, right, let's make a chat
(30:47):
show in the backyard, I said, my backyard's epic. Let's
make a chat show. The first episode, it's literally it's
mostly out of the back of our heads. Oh my god,
it's so funny. It just accidentally turned into a little
mini Syronet sitcom and it's just a couple of people
who have no idea what they're doing, and it's beyond hilarious.
(31:08):
We've neven't been doing parkour?
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Are you talk in my language?
Speaker 6 (31:11):
Now?
Speaker 1 (31:11):
I do sporadic park or two?
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Julia? Sorry, do we think that this is going to
shift the dial on the votes? Are you just having
a good time in between? Like we've got to get
the votes.
Speaker 9 (31:19):
As well sidental. Well, the thing is, I thought, well,
what will end up happening is if my audience that
followed me on all my bits and pieces are chill
with me, not ramming the logos down their throats. And
so I'm hoping just the fact that I have put
some effort into making something while a massive life is
swirling around us all at all times.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Do you reckon it's going to be the biggest competition
this year? I mean, do you look at that and
figure sit there going, oh, they did this and they
did that?
Speaker 9 (31:46):
Yeah, absolutely, absolutely deep down because you're like, you know,
you would love to take it. I would love to
be in history as one of those names. It is
a tremendous honor. I was talking to someone recently who
was in House Husbands with me, the ladies, and we're saying,
did you think we'd still be hustling at this age?
It doesn't He's no, seeing as of other industries have
(32:08):
moved on to either be CEO or CSO or special
you know whatever, FO and so, you know, but in
the entertainment industry, everybody hustling. We're still hustling, you know what.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
I think I think you've got a I think you've
got a little secret weapon right at your disposal. We've
seen Robert Irwin take his shirt off.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
We've seen him.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Everyone loves him. He's your partner in crime.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Get him amongst it, like I don't think it's we
think ed borrow and plead. And if that means stealing
your shirt to get him.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
On your campaign trail again, I think you've got to
do it.
Speaker 9 (32:38):
I had to start processing at the beginning of his
sentence because I was just like, oh, do I need
to get out of the Ydies? Hang on, get the snake.
I thought I'd seen enough snake so I've got no
business with them. And yeah, maybe I'm in the Andies
in the front yard on the astro tour.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
You could do it together. We don't discriminate.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
You guy to have a.
Speaker 9 (33:00):
Very parallel experience at the moment because he's about to
start shooting Dancing with the Stars in the US.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
And actually, Sonya, Sonya's up for a Logi's world. It's
you're up against some cud.
Speaker 9 (33:08):
Absolutely. That was the other great pleasure about it yesterday.
And when you're saying like you do, do you eye
up the competition. I mean, we're all laughy. You watched
six women nominated, one man takes it stop. Also Hamish
just like, please please nobody vote for me, and I
(33:29):
was like, mate, you know, get your game on. None
of us want to hand it to us. And let
me tell you, every single person on that stage, if
they talk it you go worthy winner though, yeah winner.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Yes, Julia, we are and so so have your back
on this. We can't wait to see you up there
on stage.
Speaker 9 (33:49):
Oh my goodness. Well, let me tell you the speech
would be unbridled because I've got a feeling the vibe
as would have worn off like hours before, so I would,
and so would the age that I gets very scared
of you around that five to eleven at night. You're like, oh,
that's Mummy's witching hour.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
That and that's when you're beyond. That's when you're beyond.
Well I reckon around is to vote just for that,
to see it.
Speaker 9 (34:13):
I'll be like level. Yeah, I've even told my haters.
I'm like, from what I've observed with the gold LOGI
you sort of then done disappear not long after that.
So you're like, well, here's the thing. If you hate me,
you can make me go away by giving me this
goal logan campaign.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
There's both sides of you can vote. Now, go and
vote for Julia Morris to win the Gold Logi at
the TV week Logos. Everyone, it's a tvweklogos dot com,
dot at you. We've been on a.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
Real discovery journey today.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
We've learned a few things about each other in this
team that we didn't know. One of them being that
when Grace puts a Douner cover onto her blankets, she
climbs inside the Douner cover instead of like a normal human.
Hear me out. If you don't know how to put
a doner on a bed, there's a technique. You put
it inside out, You grab the corners, and then you
flick it so that it goes across.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
Grace climbs inside.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I don't know I'm also doing that, but sometimes you
have to find the corners. She climbs inside like it's
a great sleeping bag.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
To be fair, sometimes I flick between the two.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
I don't have a side that I lace with, but
sometimes I also climb inside with my hands spread out
like spread eagle and push them into the corners and.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Then wriggle backwards.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Then you stand on the bed so that you've got
enough length and you shake it out.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Oh my go guys, let's not even get into how
we do our fitted sheets because we buy me here
all day.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Okay, But there is actually something that's come up.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
So there's a New Zealand show that was talking about
the concept of how you read books. So hear me out.
When you read a book in your head like you're
you know, you sit down at the end of your
day and you have your favorite book and you're reading
through the dialogue between different characters. Do you voice those
characters in different ways or do you just read a
(35:49):
book like you're reading a normal piece of paper. Have
a listen to this.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
My husband Aunt and I were lying in bed reading
our books and I said to Art, oh, this book
is taking me ages because it's sit in Scotland and
it was like sorry, and I was like, oh, well,
it's tricky for me to do a Scottish accent and
he was like, what do you mean do a Scottish accent?
(36:16):
And I didn't realize that that is perhaps an abnormal
thing to do. So when I'm reading, I'm doing the
voices in my head and the accents.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
It's like a narration. Okay, so we discovered that our
very own Brittany Hockley also does the same thing, which
is just utterly insane.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Not weird, it's a weird mind you mine's exactly.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
So.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
My favorite book series ever, there's six books in the series,
is called Outlander by Diana Givalden. It's been mental TV show,
but it is set in the Scottish Highlands. It took
me years to read those books, mainly because there's eight
the six thick books. B it's Scottish, you have to
do the Scottish accent in Scottish or.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Is it in English? But therefore because it's it's not.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
It's set in Scotland, and it's a lot of it's
set in what they call the Gaelic, which is like
the language back in Scotland. And a lot of it
is written because it's set in the seventeen hundred, so
a lot of it's written in different kind of English,
like a really old school English. And I read it
in my head how it is set and how it
would be like, oh, Lass, I read it like that.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
I do. That's what I do, okay, but a little lass.
But that's a very specific example. What if you're just reading,
like a romance novel that's got, you know, a guy
and a girl in it. Do you read like as
in your head, does the male voice have a male
sound and the female voice? Isn't it?
Speaker 5 (37:35):
Like?
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Do you create characters? I think I'm more more so
than male female. I'm more accents.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
So if someone has a French accent, I'm doing that
in my head like I'm you want to goss like whatever?
I do it like who? I don't know, But that's
how that's how my brain works.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
I just read it like I'm reading any piece of paper. Boy, nothing,
It makes no difference. I'm just efficiency, I'm in there,
I'm out like I know it's the guy speaking, I
know it's the girls. My brain doesn't need the character rehearsal.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
You need to read for the imagination where it transports you,
where it takes you. You want to have all your senses.
You don't want to read like you're reading a dictionary.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
Well this is like, this is the other thing. This
debate or like question came up quite a few weeks ago.
But do you have an internal monologue? Was the other one?
So you know, I think a lot of people, as
they're just getting about their day, they have a little
voice inside their head, not a crazy one, just like
the you know, the little voice that you hear that
tells you what to do and talks to you as
you're doing stuff. And mine is always talking to me.
(38:31):
And then there are some people out there, a percentage
of the population that just hears nothing. That's me. I
don't believe your brain.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
I don't talk in my head much at all, Like
I don't really have an internal monologue.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
I don't talk things through. I don't really have a filter.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
But my husband Ben, we have quite a few arguments
about the same thing, and that is him telling me
he's told me something before, and we've broken it down
a couple of days ago. Actually, he said, I say
things in my head so much many times, and that
I've convinced I've said it out loud to you. And
it's not until I've said I will put my life
on this you haven't told me that that he realizes
(39:08):
he's only said it in his brain.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
I'm sitting over my mouth open because he is actually
shocking to me that people don't just talk in their
own heads all the time.
Speaker 4 (39:15):
Mine is so noisy. Maybe that's enough.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
Look at your life and look at what's around you
right now, your internal brain.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
I need to be medicated. But I just feel like
my brain is it's always going, and if it's not going,
I'm like counting things. I'm doing all kinds.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
Of weird stuff just to keep my brain occupied.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
It's not that I can't do it, because some people
are a step further. There are people that do it.
There's people that don't do it. But there are some
people that physically can't. They cannot must drop a voice
in their brain. I can do it, and sometimes I
will like I'll roll my eyes in my brain, do
you know what I mean? Like my brain will be like, wow,
I can't believe she said that or whatever, not about you.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
Maybe it was about you.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
But but my brain's not messy and chaotic like I'm
not doing it.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
It's quite empty. I think I've told you that before.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Gracy, you producer, Gracy, you, what are you doing?
Speaker 7 (39:59):
Chaos thoughts, constantly thinking, I'm thinking, But the voice is
going constant.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
God, it's no It's so relaxing to me. Wow, I
would love to spend a day in your brain. Just
tune out for a while. I find this utterly fascinating. Look,
I mean, go and join the conversation on the pickup
socials if you want to tell us if you have
a constant internal monologue, maybe you do a full dress
rehearsal for when you're reading books and everyone's got an
(40:23):
accent in it and a special voice, And like, I'd
love to know, because I feel like we all do
this very differently. You should see how I read Harry Potter.
That was a wild ride.
This episode was recorded on Cameragle Land.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Hi, guys, and welcome back to another episode of Life
on Cut. I'm Laura, I'm britty. I just almost choked
and simultaneously pierced my pants at the same time, which
is very convenient because it's what we're talking about on
today's show.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
But generally speaking, they do come hand in hand, don't they.
Don't You usually wi when you like laugh or cough
for choke.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Well, apparently if you do choke and you black out,
you we yourself that. But that's a bit dramatic. So well,
you haven't blacked out? No I did it? No, no, sorry,
I swallowed water in down the wrong hole and I
have no public floor anymore. Do you know?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
That's your zip aspiration.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I aspirated and then perspirated, but from my vagina.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
China, yes, not even actually vagina, it's you read thraw. Yeah, okay, glad,
we're like juice.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
And Grace is like what is wrong with you? And
let me tell you Grace a lot.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Okay. Anyway, this is our radio show, guys, Leah, So
if you missed it, this is all of the best bits.
When they pick up this.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Week, all round it up for you in a nice,
snacky little more.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Also, if you missed any of the show I have,
and I know I just kind of gave a real
spoiler away myself. I have hit a point in pregnancy.
It's a bit of an issue now, and that is
that with this third pregnancy, I have zero pelvic floor
and I on the daily am wetting my pants and
it's a place I don't want to be in, but
I'm here.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Surely by three deep, it's hard to not have that.
Like I understand, women, you could do all the pelvic
floor you want, and the first one is definitely like
doable to maintain your pelvic floor strength. But by the
third one, isn't it like as much as you do,
it's still sort of a little bit.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
To be fair, I'm not listen to lovely. I am
not an expert in this field, and I'm sure there
will be a people who listen to this who work
in pelvic floor and know all about it. Yeah, incorrect,
But I have found that it's gotten progressively worse. However,
And I know I used to make lots of jokes
about it, like it is something you can improve, because
my pelvic floor was pretty bad after Lola then it
(01:55):
got great again, but pregnant this time. I just find
it's the pressure and all. So I think the fact
that the orientation of the baby, that my baby's breach
at the moment that it's putting so much pressure right
on my bladder and I am not making it to
the bathroom and I breach.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Were you you?
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I'm had to have a cesarean.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
No, she birthed me.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I was breach by first, legs folded behind my head
and I came out.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
They don't really do that anymore. I know they're absolutely
do you can. You can opt for it if you
want to, but I don't think they do. It's too
dangerous now if you're a breach, they really don't. That's
not really a thing that they give you a lot
of choice in. So you know how my.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Legs, sorry, my hips pop out all the time, like
I can dislocate them on the spot. Now, I've always
had like this kind of hip displasier thing. Yeah, it's
from when I was born. So if a baby was
born like I was now, it would be in the
hip plaster for like three to six months.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
When they do the little leg legs spready hip brace.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
But back in my day, they're like, of you go anywhere?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
My legs were flying around for months and I still
have problems to this day from that.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
With clicking hips.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
There you go long?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Have I known you for now?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
You I could pop it out right now? Have you
never seen I've seen you click your hips before. Also,
just when you're in dancing and I went and watched you,
I was like, how does she make her hips through that?
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Now?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I know they popped out in the dance. That was
my worry.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Everyone was dancing because he's like more hip action. I
was like, well, you're gonna be putting my heap back in.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
So what happens if it pops out? Do you just
it just goes back in? It sounds funny.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I can almost just like I'm doing it now, but
I can almost just clench my butt cheeks. It happens
so frequently that I just clenched my button and it
almost just slips back in.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
It happens a lot in sex.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
It has.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Sex is like the leg positions and stuff. Quite often
I'm like, oh stop and like ben or like click
it back in?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
But does it hurt? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Oh great, okay.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Cool, It's not a proper disslocation. It's almost called like
a sub blox. So it's sort of just like a
slip in and out if you want. So it's like
it happens for a minute and it hurts us in
this pressure and you can feel it's not in the
right spot, but it's so quick that.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
You just pushed it back in.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah, but it's not like for someone who's actually okay,
that's why I just say they're clickie like they're called
clickie hips.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Okay, Well, I'm just pissed myself.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Anyway, something else we discovered which I think is genuinely
so interesting, and you guys need to have a listen,
go and chat to your partners and your friends about it.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
But like, how do you read a book and not
how do you read it like.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
From start to finish, but do you read it with
voices in your head?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Do you have like male female?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Do you act it out or you're just reading like
a page like you're reading a dictionary.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah, do you narrate it?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Because one of the people in our team narrates the
book in accents and.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Also in different voices. Well legend, Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Wonder who that could possibly feel. Anyways, all of that
is coming on the show and so much more. Have
a listen. There's a new theory that's going around. It's
a new theory every second day. It's called the occasion theory. Now,
this is a theory that you can put into practice
if you suspect that maybe you were dating a narcissist.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
If you suspect them maybe you're dating a narcissist. I
don't think you need to be putting practice theories into place.
You probably need to escape.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
No, But the thing is is like a lot of
people have been in relationships where you know you're you're in,
you're invested, you've been with them for six months, a year,
whatever it is, and you start to wonder if the
way you're being treated is firstly normal, if you're the
problem or they're the problem. And there's a lot of
conversation around these days around everyone being a narcissist or
narcissism in general.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
I agree, and I do think the term is thrown
around a little bit too loosely, the term narcissism.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
But I'm here for this theory.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
What is it I guess about the occasion.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Have a listen to this The.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
Quickest way to find out if you're dating a narcissist,
is when you have a special occasion coming up, whether
it's your friend's birthday and whatever. Watch how they treat
you the days, the nights, the morning leading up to
that occasion, the moment something else is making you happy
and the attention is going off them. They can't stand it.
The first thing they're going to try and do is
prove to you that your happiness depends on their mood.
(05:46):
If this was a real occasion coming up, you would
be absolutely miserable going to it, and that's their goal.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Mic Drop, what are you looking at me for? Response?
I don't know what I'm supposed to say here.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I think it's just a bit of a stretch.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
I just think, yes, there might be something to that
for sure, Like, of course, a true narcissist is going
to make something about them.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
That's their mo right.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
They're going to want to ruin your happiness and make
it about them. But I think this isn't a standalone test,
Like there is a big chance your partner just doesn't
want to go to your sister's kid's birthday party, and
maybe that they're throwing a spanner in the world.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I don't know I see I heard this, and I
was like, you know what. Of course, it's not going
to be a blanket rule. It's not black and white,
but I think it's a pretty clear indicator. Like, for example,
if I was really excited about your wedding, brit and
then my husband did something that was like purposefully, I
don't mean like they actually seen wedding like he did,
they actually made the wedding about himself. If they accidentally
(06:44):
got sick or you know, I'm not talking about that,
but I mean like purposely picking a fight or purposely
doing something that then brings that entire day down. I
would say that they are hallmark signs that maybe not
they're a narcissist, but that they have narcissistic tendencies.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
This is my worry, right, hear me out.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I worry that when we label something like that, because
we love to give everything a label in life, I
just worry that if we start to say things like,
you know what, they've made this moment about them in
the lead up to my sister's birthday, like narcissists, I
just don't want to be dropped throwing the term around
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Also, you know, not everyone who cheats as a narcissist,
and not everyone who does. Like you know, they can
be narcissistic in tendencies, but doesn't make them. We probably
shouldn't be diagnosed psychological problems, but here we are, and
there is the world pick there is the world of
social media for that. Look, I mean, I've want to
tread it carefully. If you date someone who has narcissistic
personality disorder or they have narcissistic tendencies, it's very rare
(07:38):
for a narcissist to go and sit down with a
therapist and be like, do you think it's me that's
the problem, because it's part of the whole The whole
concept around narcissism is that they are the most superior person.
So they're not seeking out to figure out whether or
not they're the problem or not, so they don't think
they are.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
It was my mum's wedding, and.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
This is a guy I dated for quite a while,
and look, there was a lot of things that he
did that I would say would throw him into this
kettle of fish without someone diagnosing him. And it was
my mum's wedding. It was a really really big deal,
and he knew how what a big deal it was.
And the night before the wedding, because one of his
friends had gone through a break up recently, he went
(08:15):
out and got incredibly drunk, to the point where they
didn't get home until seven in the morning, and he
had to be up and dressed and ready to go
to the wedding by ten am. And I just remember
it totally ruined that entire thing for me. And so
when I listened to this, I was like, I was like, look,
it maybe is too black and white to use this
as a diagnostic tool.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I was like, I think that there's some merit to it,
but some people.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Are also just assholes, Like sometimes they are like sometimes
you're just a jerk off.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
And I dated them. Yeah, no, no, all of them.
Some of them are okay, but this one in particular.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Yeah, he particularly was an a hole.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Like you know, but I don't know. I'm on the
fence with it.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I think, don't go home and diagnose your partner as
an a hole if they don't pass occasion theory.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
But maybe look a little bit deeper if they are
messing up all.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Your special occasions. But like, let's relax on the labels.
We are talking about DIY fails. So if you've ever
tried to DIY something yourself, give us a call here
at the pickup. Now. The reason why this has come
up is because Britt, you and I both saw something
on the weekend that raised a few questions, and it
has to do with our wonderful producer, Grace.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Grace was definitely not on the case on the weekend.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Grace was not on the case. Were changed and thank
god you're still here to tell the tale. Yes, I
tried to repot a gigantic cactus and I think nearly
actually died in the process.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I reckon people have died by cactus before.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
If you google that, look probably if someone's fallen out
of a building and landed in a cactus, that could
do it. But I once had a cactus fall on me.
I was also trying to move it, and it was
poorly weighted the whole thing. It was one of those
situations where you look at something and you go, this
could end badly, but you do it anyway, and then
the exact thing that you knew was going to happen happens,
and my whole arm was full of cactus spines.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Can I just tell you so sorry, Brittany is on
the case. There have been documented cases of deaths involving
cactuses or cactive.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Thank god, we gurgled.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
They are rare, but one notable incident involved a man.
He was killed when the cactus arm fell on him
after he shot it with a gun.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Also but like it can happen. Grace also one.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Of those instances where I bet as it was happening.
He was like, I really messed that up. Grace set
the scene.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
So I moved into a new place and it came
with a giant cactus on the veranda, but it.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Was top heavy.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
It was falling over us, so it was kind of
like looped with this nylon rope and like hanging there,
and it just looked awful.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
It looks so depressing. The reason why the old owners
left it there though, is purely because it was it
was too much of a hazard to move it.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
They didn't want to get impaled.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
But hey, we're gonna up the rent. We're throwing in
a cac dice. No one's touch it.
Speaker 7 (10:49):
So I decided I was like, we can absolutely do this.
We've got a towel, we've got some gloves. It's gonna
be fine, we got it out of the pot. We
took all the dirt out, and then trying to get
it into the pot was where we ran into trouble
because we couldn't lift it without impaling ourselves with spines.
So I had the bright idea to kind of create
like a.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Hench like bench. It was a system like a system, yes,
so I just going through every word that rhymes with wedge,
a bench, a bench, the stenche.
Speaker 7 (11:20):
So I wrapped the cactus up and then threw it
over the like top of the veranda, and I was
going to pull it up, and I was like, this
is going so well. I'm practically an inventor, and all
of a sudden, the rope just snaps.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Let's just play the audio. So then we wheezing laughing.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
Is my wife happens to have the most contagious laugh
in the world, And I'm very grateful.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Honestly, sounds like we've superimposed, like you know, roadrunners something
doing in there. It's not. That's just how it sounded like.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
You were more at risk of death by the beam breaking.
So you put you put the rope over a beam.
You can hear the beam like, oh my god, you're
actually so lucky didn't.
Speaker 7 (12:10):
I I'm very lucky, And I watched that footage back
and I went, I'm not going to do that again.
But we did eventually get the characters into its new pot.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
No one, but however, we do care about your DIY fails.
If you've got some, give us a call. We've got
Italia on the line to Talia.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
What was your DIY fail?
Speaker 8 (12:29):
Hi, laura'stan, No, it's okay, what.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Happened with your DIY?
Speaker 9 (12:43):
So it was a long.
Speaker 10 (12:43):
Weekend and it was our first house. Me and my
hubby decided to save some money and do the ceiling
insulation ourselves. And turns out I thought the beams were
only a suggestion, not to rule to walk on and
I fell through ceiling.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Oh my god, did you all the way through or
did you get stuck?
Speaker 9 (13:05):
No?
Speaker 10 (13:06):
So my catlike instincts kicked in and I actually managed
to grab onto the beam and next thing I know,
I'm just hanging in my lounge room.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
So you just turned yourself into a human chandilyer hanging
from the ceiling.
Speaker 10 (13:19):
Yeah that's right. Yeah pretty much.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Wow.
Speaker 10 (13:22):
Yeah there was no injuries either, So yeah, I came
out pretty good.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Oh my God, I tell you that could have ended
so much worse. That's brilliant. All right, we've got Sophie
on the line. Sophie, what is your doy fail?
Speaker 9 (13:34):
I had a friend I went to UNI with who
decided to try and save some money and do it
at home Brazilian and actually got her flap stuck together.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Okay, this is coming from someone who I did my
own Brazilians from like fifteen until now. I still doing
my home on my own. It has happened before it
can happen. If you leave the wax too long, you
don't definitely get with from apart. Look, if this happened
to anyone, a little bit of lukewarm water, dab it
on sittinge bar, Yeah, lip the warm water. But you
definitely don't try and just rip them apart.
Speaker 9 (14:08):
Wow, to cut them apart, Oh my, what good tactic.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
That is good and you know cut that back open.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Well, she's like, let's cut my losses just wow.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
That seems like a really drastic measure to take when
there was probably.
Speaker 9 (14:26):
On the way.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Oh wow, people, how were you when she told you
this story?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Traumatized?
Speaker 9 (14:31):
Yeah, I've never recovered.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
It's literally I'm like I've never had a Brazilian even
professionally done, and since you told me that, I was like,
I can never it's laser only. Oh so thanks for
the call. Do you know what, if anyone's considering DIY,
maybe this week, this weekend, think about it. There's people
that are professionals, and they're professionals for a reason. We'll
just get some maybe.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
I tell you what, Laura, it is a dog eat
dog world out there in the dating community, isn't it.
I mean you wouldn't know you've been married for seven years.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Yeah, but probably that I dated everyone, so we had
a good litmus.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Don't worry.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
I mean I also just did get married.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
I am off the market, but I have a bunch
of single friends that are constantly like talking to me
about what the online dating world is like. And it
is really hard, and I have bad news. It's getting harder.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Do you think it's getting harder or do you think
it's just always been like ever since online dating has come,
because you've just got the opportunity of choice. There's so
many people, it's kind of like gamified online dating.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Well, I think it's getting harder because if you think
about when online dating started it was just like signed
up and had at it. Like men, women went on,
you put your age on and basically that was it.
But it's gotten so there's so many layers. It's gotten
so complicated. And now Tinder has released well it's a trial.
They're trialing a new feature that is not good news
(15:48):
for our short kings.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
You can basically filter now for height.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
So if you say I only want a tall guy,
which you know most women say I only want a
tall guy, it filters them out and then our short
kings not even given a chance. It is causing a
lot of stir online because there are a lot of
people that are all for this feature, like I guess
a lot of women that know that they only want
a tall guy.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
They're all for it.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
But there's a lot of people that are saying it's
actually discrimination, like you are filtering out on the way
that I look physically like my physical appearance, and I
have to say I'm on their side. I don't think
we should be having a high filter for online dating.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
It's a weird one, isn't it, because it really kind
of comes into this gray area. It's like having a
bald filter, or it's like having a weight filter a
weight filter. The only thing though, is if you are
a woman and you are particularly tall, like a really
really tall girl, or you are a guy and you're
a particularly short guy, maybe it just removes some of
(16:45):
the admin because I would dare say that normally, I
don't know that this is a stereotype. Don't want to
get myself into trouble. But often really tall girls and
really short guys don't seem to be a perfect match.
It seems as though like that would probably be the
only time that it would come in hand.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Yeah, but then maybe I mean not maybe you don't
have to have a filter for that. People can put
their height on their bio themselves anyway, So then what's
the difference, because you're still given the choice like zac
Efron hot megababe, he's tiny, but people would be, yeah,
I'm taller than zach Efron' he's not tall man energy
he does, he's got BD energy. But my point is,
(17:22):
like I do think, and in the words of producer Grace,
you're robbing yourself of love, like you're robbing yourself with
the potential. I've dated people that are shorter than me.
They've been fantastic. People did it work out, No, but
it wasn't because of their height.
Speaker 9 (17:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Look, I mean I know we made jokes.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I've my one of my ex boyfriends was quite a
bit shorter than me, and it never made a difference.
But I do think that if I had had the
height restriction on Tinder. Firstly, I would never have met him,
but also I think I probably would have used it,
and so I would have ruled him out because I
don't know I am. I guess I'm relatively tall for
a girl. What am I like one hundred and seventy
(17:56):
seven centimeters? Yeah, which I would say that in when
I was online dating, I definitely rocked up to a
couple of dates where my dates were particularly short and
I knew we both kind of met each other and
were like, well, should have talked about that. I wish
we'd asked, you know. And it's not like it should
be a big deal, but I think it is for
(18:16):
a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I think that a lot of people care about heart.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Yeah, but then why can't we just ask have those conversations,
talk to someone, put it in your bio. I think
the fact that we can now filter out people based
on appearance.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
For me is yucky. I don't like it.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
And a lot of the short king men or other
people are now sort of like firing back, saying cool,
if you want to filter from that, how do you
feel if we put a weight.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Filter on which which is all a bit silly, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
No one's a bit tipped for tab But I understand
what they're saying from that, Like I understand that they're
offended that people can filter them out based on their
physical appearance that they can't change.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Yeah, And I guess the only thing is is like
if someone's borderline, like if someone is tall, borderline to
your preference, you know, like they might be a little
bit shorter than what you think you want in a person.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
But they're amazing in every other capacity.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Like that seems a bit silly to rule someone out
because you've got a bit of a high preference, you
know whatever.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
I beggars can't be chooses too. If you're looking for
for love, don't sing all those men out. Zendea didn't,
And she's engaged to Tom Holland and a beautiful couple,
very happy.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Thank you so much for that for it. That's beautiful. Now,
I mean, I'm sure some of you know if you
listen to the show, but it might be used to
anyone who's new. I am currently pregnant with my third baby,
and let me tell you, third pregnancy is a whole
different kettle of fish to the first one and the
second one just like doesn't even touch the sides, really,
fee doesn't well that, Yeah, the baby's just going to
(19:37):
shoot straight out. Isn't even going to have any resistance. No,
I didn't mean. I didn't mean you were loose when
you said it.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
No, I meant like, it doesn't touch the side, put
your legs in the steir it to shoot it out.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
I meant as him, like it HiT's different, Like again.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
That could be taking the wrong way. It is going
to touch the sides on the way out.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
I mean it, he's different.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Like you're less involved in, Like you're like it'll come
in nine months because you've done it twice and you're busy.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Yeah. Look, I love that you were like, no, I
still will touch you. But I was like, one can
only hope that it does still touch the size as
it comes out. But anyway, look, it is very different.
And I say this because I feel like this pregnancy
has just completely gotten away from me, and sometimes I
feel pretty good since I've gotten my reflux under control
that I often actually just forget that I'm pregnant. I
(20:22):
forget you're pregnant, Yeah, until I get Britt was talking
about just how we should do this morning. She was like, Oh,
we should really do this, Like you should do a
big party at the end of the year, like a
show party, and we'll invite all our listeners and we
can do it on a boat. And I was like,
I'll have a six week old baby, but she sounds good,
and I was like, what completely blanked that I was
having a kid. But anyway, look, every so often I
get a reminder like I'll get a massive thump to
(20:43):
the uterus because I'll get a big, solid kick, and
I'm I'm well passed halfway now.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I think I'm about twenty five weeks.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
And I just the other day discovered that I've hit
a part of pregnancy or a new stage that I
never got to in my first or second and it
was incredibly humbling. So we were all in the office
having a little dance. We were filming some content, and
part of that was that we had to like, you know,
really kind of get into this dance that we were doing,
and I did. I was really channeling my nineteen year
(21:10):
old self being at the nightclubs, and I dropped it
like it's hot, and I did a liberated woman drop.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
I did live my best life drop, and I got to.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
The bottom of that drop.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
I got low and I got low. I got low,
I got low, and then I pissed my pants at the.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Bottom of bottom jeans. It was I didn't and I'm
not just talking about tiny bit of bladder leakage. I
got to the bottom of that drop and I fully
wet myself. Well maybe it won't, Cutch the scientist, this
just got to shoot right in and there was something
incredibly I don't even want to say humbling souse. I
know I've said that, but it was just humiliating having
to stop and be like, sorry, everybody, I have to
(21:44):
go to the bathroom. And now the problem is is
like I don't know whether I did damage, or whether
I've just set things off, or this kid is just
on my bladder in a way that it shouldn't.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
I don't think you did damage in your liberated woman drop,
because it's just it's just part and parcel right.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Third pregnancy potentially, but it had happened prior, and now
if I cough too hard, if I sneeze too hard,
we yeah, it's just it's become part of my everyday staple.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
You're not alone, Laura.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
There are some pretty high statistics on women that having continents.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I don't want you to be embarrassed it. We all
pretended it didn't happen.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
We all turned a blind eye.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
And I even spilt my water bottle to.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Try and cover, and someone mopped up the puddle.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
So and someone said what is this And I said, sorry,
clumsy me again, I spilled.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
It's my lime cordial juice. Apologies.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
You know why I.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Think I forget you're pregnant is because on the rare
occasions I do remember, I try and feel it moving.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
You're like, oh, it's so movie.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Every time I go and try and touch it, it
just freezes, like it doesn't want to move for me.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
I think it knows. It's because you're very aggressive anytime
you come over. Yeah, so like just before this is
literally just before we started the show, I was like, oh,
the baby's kicking. Heaps come and feel and Brick came
over and she didn't stick her hand on my bell.
She gave me an off a cut. You just don't
you don't rest your hand, you like really get in there.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
And then I had to sort of poke it to
make it move.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Do you know I'm still trying to like.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Feel it out.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
And then Britz says, Oh, don't worry, I have a
technique to get it to move. She lifts up my
shirt and gives me a raspberry on my stomach. I'm
a full grown woman having my third baby, and I
don't think I've had a raspberry in a whole lot.
Fifteen years. No, fifteen years, twenty five years, A long time,
you're well, long time, you're welcome. It is enjoyed. It.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
It is a trick that you are supposed to do.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Like it must be like the vibrations or something like
when you do a raspberry it makes it tickle or something.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
I don't believe that for a while. Second, I don't
believe that giving someone a raspberry makes a baby move
in their belly. Here we go, No, actually, I stand corrected.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
No, blowing raspberries and a pregnant belly is unlikely to
do anything. There you go, Well, I just treated you
to a little little Raspberry for your for your Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Well, I stand corrected. I've been Raspberry and a lot
of pregnant women. I hope you enjoyed it as much
as I did. You live and you learn it.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
I'm mind blown, mind blown. Oh god, Laura, I'm laughing
thinking about this. So I took my new husband Ben
to New Zealand on the weekend.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Very lucky.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
New Zealand is so close. Two and a half hours bang,
you're there.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
We went to Queenstown and now Ben was quite excited
about this because he was made aware that there aren't
any like dangerous animals there because he's He's Swiss, He's
very scared of animals.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Here snakes totally. I was about to say, I've never
met anyone who is as afraid of spiders as Ben is. Like,
he sends brit inside to check their house first before
he goes there.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Every night, I have to screen the house. He has
to watch me look in the wardrobes, under the pillows.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Of the bed.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
It's cute.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Whatever.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
So we go to New Zealand and this this that
finds really interesting. So Ben is a professional footballer like soccer,
and in their contracts they have something that I call
the fun clause. It is a clause that basically, I say,
doesn't allow fun. You can't do anything that could remotely
(24:56):
end in an injury or danger or I'm talking things
like mountain bike riding, skiing, snowboarding.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
We can't go bungee jumping like anything.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
When you say mountain bike riding. Though. We were talking
about it just before you guys went away, and I
was like, oh, you should get like the e bikes
and go around the lake in Wanaka. You go like
five daughters and now like I did it with the kids.
And he was like, no, I can't do that, it's
too dangerous. Might hurt myself. Yeah, And I was like,
so what can you do? Well?
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Right, So New Zealand, if you guys know, it's like
the adventure capital.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
There's so much to do there.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
And I thought, okay, I have to come up with
an itinerary for him that is fun but no danger.
So I surched heigh and low, and I came up
with what I thought was the perfect idea.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
We went to it's called Deer Park.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
We went to a park that has deers in it.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Now, I know that doesn't sound very fun, but I
read and majestic. I read that you could feed.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Them, and I was like, you know what has beautiful views.
We're going to go and feed the deer. We're going
to feed some piglets. And there's like farm animals around,
and what you do is you drive around and you
get out whenever you see the animals because it's just
a free range park farm, and then you just feed them.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
So we're feeding some little piglets, super cute.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Then we continued up and there's the most beautiful deer right.
So we're feeding the deer and they'll eat out of
your hand. It's actually truly incredible. We were having a
lot of fun, like I was nailing it. Then we
go further up the hel and there was a sign
that said like if you see horned goats, don't get.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Out of your car.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
It actually said don't even stop your car right horned
goats run over them.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
So I was like, that's interesting.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Anyway, we see a pack of goats and I look
and there's no horns, so I was like cute. So
we get out of the car and I was like, Kurie,
let's feed them. Anyway, these goats were savage. Out of nowhere.
I have video go on to my Instagram to have
a look out of nowhere, about fifty goats started to
attack us. Basically like I was running for my life.
I had to abort my phone because I thought I
(26:47):
was gonna die by these goats. They're so savage. I
think they're really dumb. Then they chased us down.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
They did.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
They chased us down the hill anyway. You can hear
bending in the background of my footage being like, run.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Baby, run anyways, I'm running. We make it back in
the car and they jump on the car. I'm not kidding.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
It was similar to being in a game park in
South Africa and the lions are trying to get in,
Like that's what I thought.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
I don't know if they're dumb. I don't know if
that they go to dumb. Like we've been to a
national park before. It's called Simbia National Park. Took the
kids and there's a goat enclosure and Lola was only
about three years old and she got pounced by like
three goats at once, and the poor thing was under
the goats to pull the baby out. We're like, oh God.
But they just get very enthusiastic about food. They're very
(27:31):
food motivated animals.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Yeah, and that's why you can't go around the horned
goats anyway, So I got horned.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Basically, oh wait, so the goats. Wait, you got out
of the car, but you didn't establish that they had horns.
You said there was no horns on them.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Fifty horned goats were hiding. It's like they planned the attack.
It was like a chemic card.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
It was a militia attack of the horn.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Gway we get the car, which we actually could stop
laughing fens like. I thought this was supposed to be
not dangerous thing like he's like. I imagine if I
went back to my football club, said sorry, like I
can't play football.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
And mog attacked by a goat. I got impailed by
a goat. Are they New Zealand? Are they dumb?
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Grace? They're actually very intelligent.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Thank you. See they know how to get the food.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
I guess they were hiding and pounced on me. Is
the same thing else as I did? It was that
a full sentence.
Speaker 7 (28:12):
Some research suggests that goats are as intelligent as dogs.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
No way, I believe it. I believe it. Smart little things.
They're also very cute when they're babies. Sometimes I find
myself down a TikTok rabbit hole just watching not raby goats,
baby goats, and you know I'm gonna put a video on.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
I've got They do these little jumps, the baby ones.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
They're really cute.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
I got a video, so that made up for it.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Anyway, if you go to New Zealand, believe it or not,
I do recommend it. It was really fine. Just don't
get out around the horned goats. That's the persa from
Brittany on.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Well, Laura.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
It is that time of year again where Australia has
the version of the Oscars. It is Gold Loging nomination time.
The nominations will come out and do you know what,
the women.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Are absolutely cleaning up.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
There's only one bloke I think, Hamish I know, I
mean he's going to be literally dying.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
There's going to be one male who makes it into
the LOGI nomination who direct. It's going to be Hamish Blake.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
But there's so.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Many incredible women that have been nominated, but one I'm
very excited about TV Legend, TV veteran.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
I was in the jungle with her.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
She has hosted I'm a Celebrity, Get Me out of
here eleven times. She has been nominated for a Gold
LOGI four times and for some reason, is yet to win.
We're going to try and change that. Julia Morris, Welcome
to the show.
Speaker 9 (29:27):
Well, I couldn't be more thrilled to be here with you.
To glorious humans, Julia.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
We are hard on the campaign trail for you this year.
We are so behind you. I thought you were a
shoeing last year. But this year, it is twenty twenty five.
It is the year of Julia Morris.
Speaker 9 (29:41):
Surely it's the year of the old male involved. Oh
my god. Everyone's saying, what's the campaigning going to be? Like?
I'm like, no, I can barely like feed compass for
the pick up and drop off. I do not know
that I'm up the campaigning. You feel like a knucklehead campaigning.
So I'm like a friend of mine and I just
(30:02):
as a coincidentally, we're sort of whinging about how can
we don't you know? I was whinging she's not in television.
I was like, hey, com I keep sort of missing
out on bits and pieces. I know I am hosting
one of the biggest shows in the country, so it
seems a bit disingenuous, but I'm always, you know, looking
for like, what's the next thing going to be? How
do I broaden out, you know, just to earn money
to pay the orgust? Oh we all know as a
(30:25):
matter of time, everybody loves the sound of slapping. When
I released the double d's it sounds like you're at
oc Cob affairs. And that's another story altogether. I have
been like a complete maniac. So the thought of now
going into some weird self promotion thing, my maid and
I I said to her, right, let's make a chat
(30:47):
show in the backyard, I said, my backyard's epic. Let's
make a chat show. The first episode, it's literally it's
mostly out of the back of our heads. Oh my god,
it's so funny. It just accidentally turned into a little
mini Syronet sitcom and it's just a couple of people
who have no idea what they're doing, and it's beyond hilarious.
(31:08):
We've neven't been doing parkour?
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Are you talk in my language?
Speaker 6 (31:11):
Now?
Speaker 1 (31:11):
I do sporadic park or two?
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Julia? Sorry, do we think that this is going to
shift the dial on the votes? Are you just having
a good time in between? Like we've got to get
the votes.
Speaker 9 (31:19):
As well sidental. Well, the thing is, I thought, well,
what will end up happening is if my audience that
followed me on all my bits and pieces are chill
with me, not ramming the logos down their throats. And
so I'm hoping just the fact that I have put
some effort into making something while a massive life is
swirling around us all at all times.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Do you reckon it's going to be the biggest competition
this year? I mean, do you look at that and
figure sit there going, oh, they did this and they
did that?
Speaker 9 (31:46):
Yeah, absolutely, absolutely deep down because you're like, you know,
you would love to take it. I would love to
be in history as one of those names. It is
a tremendous honor. I was talking to someone recently who
was in House Husbands with me, the ladies, and we're saying,
did you think we'd still be hustling at this age?
It doesn't He's no, seeing as of other industries have
(32:08):
moved on to either be CEO or CSO or special
you know whatever, FO and so, you know, but in
the entertainment industry, everybody hustling. We're still hustling, you know what.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
I think I think you've got a I think you've
got a little secret weapon right at your disposal. We've
seen Robert Irwin take his shirt off.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
We've seen him.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Everyone loves him. He's your partner in crime.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Get him amongst it, like I don't think it's we
think ed borrow and plead. And if that means stealing
your shirt to get him.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
On your campaign trail again, I think you've got to
do it.
Speaker 9 (32:38):
I had to start processing at the beginning of his
sentence because I was just like, oh, do I need
to get out of the Ydies? Hang on, get the snake.
I thought I'd seen enough snake so I've got no
business with them. And yeah, maybe I'm in the Andies
in the front yard on the astro tour.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
You could do it together. We don't discriminate.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
You guy to have a.
Speaker 9 (33:00):
Very parallel experience at the moment because he's about to
start shooting Dancing with the Stars in the US.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
And actually, Sonya, Sonya's up for a Logi's world. It's
you're up against some cud.
Speaker 9 (33:08):
Absolutely. That was the other great pleasure about it yesterday.
And when you're saying like you do, do you eye
up the competition. I mean, we're all laughy. You watched
six women nominated, one man takes it stop. Also Hamish
just like, please please nobody vote for me, and I
(33:29):
was like, mate, you know, get your game on. None
of us want to hand it to us. And let
me tell you, every single person on that stage, if
they talk it you go worthy winner though, yeah winner.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Yes, Julia, we are and so so have your back
on this. We can't wait to see you up there
on stage.
Speaker 9 (33:49):
Oh my goodness. Well, let me tell you the speech
would be unbridled because I've got a feeling the vibe
as would have worn off like hours before, so I would,
and so would the age that I gets very scared
of you around that five to eleven at night. You're like, oh,
that's Mummy's witching hour.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
That and that's when you're beyond. That's when you're beyond.
Well I reckon around is to vote just for that,
to see it.
Speaker 9 (34:13):
I'll be like level. Yeah, I've even told my haters.
I'm like, from what I've observed with the gold LOGI
you sort of then done disappear not long after that.
So you're like, well, here's the thing. If you hate me,
you can make me go away by giving me this
goal logan campaign.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
There's both sides of you can vote. Now, go and
vote for Julia Morris to win the Gold Logi at
the TV week Logos. Everyone, it's a tvweklogos dot com,
dot at you. We've been on a.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
Real discovery journey today.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
We've learned a few things about each other in this
team that we didn't know. One of them being that
when Grace puts a Douner cover onto her blankets, she
climbs inside the Douner cover instead of like a normal human.
Hear me out. If you don't know how to put
a doner on a bed, there's a technique. You put
it inside out, You grab the corners, and then you
flick it so that it goes across.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
Grace climbs inside.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I don't know I'm also doing that, but sometimes you
have to find the corners. She climbs inside like it's
a great sleeping bag.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
To be fair, sometimes I flick between the two.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
I don't have a side that I lace with, but
sometimes I also climb inside with my hands spread out
like spread eagle and push them into the corners and.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Then wriggle backwards.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Then you stand on the bed so that you've got
enough length and you shake it out.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Oh my go guys, let's not even get into how
we do our fitted sheets because we buy me here
all day.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Okay, But there is actually something that's come up.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
So there's a New Zealand show that was talking about
the concept of how you read books. So hear me out.
When you read a book in your head like you're
you know, you sit down at the end of your
day and you have your favorite book and you're reading
through the dialogue between different characters. Do you voice those
characters in different ways or do you just read a
(35:49):
book like you're reading a normal piece of paper. Have
a listen to this.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
My husband Aunt and I were lying in bed reading
our books and I said to Art, oh, this book
is taking me ages because it's sit in Scotland and
it was like sorry, and I was like, oh, well,
it's tricky for me to do a Scottish accent and
he was like, what do you mean do a Scottish accent?
(36:16):
And I didn't realize that that is perhaps an abnormal
thing to do. So when I'm reading, I'm doing the
voices in my head and the accents.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
It's like a narration. Okay, so we discovered that our
very own Brittany Hockley also does the same thing, which
is just utterly insane.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Not weird, it's a weird mind you mine's exactly.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
So.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
My favorite book series ever, there's six books in the series,
is called Outlander by Diana Givalden. It's been mental TV show,
but it is set in the Scottish Highlands. It took
me years to read those books, mainly because there's eight
the six thick books. B it's Scottish, you have to
do the Scottish accent in Scottish or.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Is it in English? But therefore because it's it's not.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
It's set in Scotland, and it's a lot of it's
set in what they call the Gaelic, which is like
the language back in Scotland. And a lot of it
is written because it's set in the seventeen hundred, so
a lot of it's written in different kind of English,
like a really old school English. And I read it
in my head how it is set and how it
would be like, oh, Lass, I read it like that.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
I do. That's what I do, okay, but a little lass.
But that's a very specific example. What if you're just reading,
like a romance novel that's got, you know, a guy
and a girl in it. Do you read like as
in your head, does the male voice have a male
sound and the female voice? Isn't it?
Speaker 5 (37:35):
Like?
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Do you create characters? I think I'm more more so
than male female. I'm more accents.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
So if someone has a French accent, I'm doing that
in my head like I'm you want to goss like whatever?
I do it like who? I don't know, But that's
how that's how my brain works.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
I just read it like I'm reading any piece of paper. Boy, nothing,
It makes no difference. I'm just efficiency, I'm in there,
I'm out like I know it's the guy speaking, I
know it's the girls. My brain doesn't need the character rehearsal.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
You need to read for the imagination where it transports you,
where it takes you. You want to have all your senses.
You don't want to read like you're reading a dictionary.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
Well this is like, this is the other thing. This
debate or like question came up quite a few weeks ago.
But do you have an internal monologue? Was the other one?
So you know, I think a lot of people, as
they're just getting about their day, they have a little
voice inside their head, not a crazy one, just like
the you know, the little voice that you hear that
tells you what to do and talks to you as
you're doing stuff. And mine is always talking to me.
(38:31):
And then there are some people out there, a percentage
of the population that just hears nothing. That's me. I
don't believe your brain.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
I don't talk in my head much at all, Like
I don't really have an internal monologue.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
I don't talk things through. I don't really have a filter.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
But my husband Ben, we have quite a few arguments
about the same thing, and that is him telling me
he's told me something before, and we've broken it down
a couple of days ago. Actually, he said, I say
things in my head so much many times, and that
I've convinced I've said it out loud to you. And
it's not until I've said I will put my life
on this you haven't told me that that he realizes
(39:08):
he's only said it in his brain.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
I'm sitting over my mouth open because he is actually
shocking to me that people don't just talk in their
own heads all the time.
Speaker 4 (39:15):
Mine is so noisy. Maybe that's enough.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
Look at your life and look at what's around you
right now, your internal brain.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
I need to be medicated. But I just feel like
my brain is it's always going, and if it's not going,
I'm like counting things. I'm doing all kinds.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
Of weird stuff just to keep my brain occupied.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
It's not that I can't do it, because some people
are a step further. There are people that do it.
There's people that don't do it. But there are some
people that physically can't. They cannot must drop a voice
in their brain. I can do it, and sometimes I
will like I'll roll my eyes in my brain, do
you know what I mean? Like my brain will be like, wow,
I can't believe she said that or whatever, not about you.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
Maybe it was about you.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
But but my brain's not messy and chaotic like I'm
not doing it.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
It's quite empty. I think I've told you that before.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Gracy, you producer, Gracy, you, what are you doing?
Speaker 7 (39:59):
Chaos thoughts, constantly thinking, I'm thinking, But the voice is
going constant.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
God, it's no It's so relaxing to me. Wow, I
would love to spend a day in your brain. Just
tune out for a while. I find this utterly fascinating. Look,
I mean, go and join the conversation on the pickup
socials if you want to tell us if you have
a constant internal monologue, maybe you do a full dress
rehearsal for when you're reading books and everyone's got an
(40:23):
accent in it and a special voice, And like, I'd
love to know, because I feel like we all do
this very differently. You should see how I read Harry Potter.
That was a wild ride.
