Speaker 1 (00:00):
This episode was recorded on cameragle Land. Hi guys, and
welcome back to another episode of Life on Cut.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I'm Brittany and I'm Laura, and I'm getting shamed for
how much I've eaten because it doesn't fit that is,
you are.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Full of it.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
We're not shaming you for what you ate. We're shaming
you because you go, oh, I don't know why. What's
such a baud indigestion.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
When I just watched you annihilate a block.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Of chocolate, the biggest sandwich I've ever seen, and a coffee.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Not shamed as in, like Laura, you ate too much.
But I am constantly complaining about being pregnant, and then
I constantly complain about having indigestion. And I also know
that you should just have small, frequent meals, but I
like to have the world's biggest sandwich and then down
half a block of.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Chocolate and a coffee.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I mean, the way you eat now has changed, Like
you annihilate, you inhale your food, and I've never seen
someone eat so quickly since you when you're pregnant, and.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I'm also addicted addicted to sandwiches. I hate to say it,
You're not supposed to eat ham when you're pregnant, Like, so.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
You eat like a kilo. Sh don't tell everyone you said,
I don't need the motherhood judgment.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
No, Ham's like one of the things that they say, Ah,
be careful of deli meats because they can have you know,
you can get sick from deli meats.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
But if you get fresh, good deli meats, I.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Think you're all right. Don't go get it from the
service station. But I've I've been smashing ham sandwiches like
it is my absolute job.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
So is it like you're not supposed to consume ham
at any time of the pregnancy or just the start or.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
There's lots of rules around the things that you should
and shouldn't eat or should give a wide berth to,
Like you shouldn't eat oysters, you shouldn't eat our foulfa sprout,
and like the cheeses and stuff of soft cheeses and
stuff like that. And I think, like I'm pretty good
with most stuff, but ham's been hard.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Okay, guys hard. What's the our falfa sprouts? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
It's like sprouts, and I think it's because they're very
water dense and they can also make you sick. Whatever, Sorry,
no one cares if you're not pregnant. But the food
list is long.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Okay, Well, this is our radio show, so this is
the best of the week of the pickup. We pick
out some of our highlights and we bundle up and
give it to you here.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Well, speaking of food, guys, I did talk about food
again on the radio show this week.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I got a.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Packet of chips, which I mean, is not that surprising
now that gotta makes it sound like I don't stop
eating at the moment, doesn't it just out?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
They're like, what is this show? So, guys breaking news?
I got some chips.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
No, I got a packet of chips, and I found
something in my chips that no one should find in
their chips. And we asked the question, what did you
find in your food? And let me tell you, I
thought that.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Getting you know, what could only be described as potentially
a chicken snitzel or a hash brown floating around my
bag of chips was weird enough. Some of the things
that were sent to us were absolutely diabolically disgusting, revolting. Yea,
it makes you never want to eat again. But yeah,
so that's what coming up with joy Laura's I'll get
some ham. The other thing you guys might have seen
(02:42):
that tickled us in ways might probably shouldn't have the hurdler,
the hurdler that has been going viral for having a
bit of a wardrobe mishap mid run. I don't want
to give too much away, but eas your imagination and
still managing to finish the race in first place.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Someone might have thought he was doing the pul vault,
but no, he was a hurdler.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Someone might have thought he was a photographer with a tripod,
but nope, he was an athlete.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Anyway, guys, it's all coming up. Let's get into it.
Every week before we start this show, it might come
as a surprise to some of you, but we do
sit down and talk about what we're going to talk
about on it. We throw around, we throw around some headlines,
We throw around some big news things that we want
to unpack and get to the bottom of.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
And there was this one.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Article that got put into the group chat by our
wonderful producer Grace, and this.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Is the headline.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Runner wins four hundred meter hurdle race despite having his
penis constantly fall out of his.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Shorts, and I just thought, firstly, yes, we're going to
unpack it. Literally he unpacked it. But Bill, is this
where we're at? Is this it? Is this the height
of content or the bottom of content?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I don't know, and we shouldn't be laughing at it
because it was a very unfortunate incident.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
But we're not laughing. Let me set this up for you, guys.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
If you haven't seen this in news is it is
taking over. Chris Robinson. So he won the four hundred
meter hurdle race and he had probably the worst wardrobe
malfunction that one can have. Even though his manhood fell out,
he still did a time of forty eight point zero
five seconds, and that time was only one tenth get this,
(04:12):
one tenth of a second slower than his personal best.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
It actually goes to show you. That goes to show you.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Remember when Kathy Freeman wore that speed suit and she
debuted speedsuit and everyone was saying, doesn't make it difference.
She said, the importance of it, like shaving seconds off.
This goes to show you. When this flopped out, it
took a tenth of a second off. So that kind
of thing is really important.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
No, do you know what I think. I read that,
and I was like, that is an athlete. That is
a man with the most namely one other person that
has the willpower or the mental stamina to go.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Do you know what? I know this is happening right now,
but I'm gonna run for my life. Like if I'm.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Sorry that for me, I would stop, I would at
least slow down, make an adjustment, But not him, He's
not distracted. One of my favorite parts admitted though, was
the commentary around what was happening.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Have listened to this.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Congratulations Chris Robinson for battling a problem that does emerge occasionally.
Various parts of their equipment failure can make it very
very awkward, but very nearly a personal best with those
adjustments going on constant to man handling going on with
the left hand. But boy, he just said in front,
(05:20):
Why is.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
The commentator so breathy through the He's constantly managed imagine,
imagine not need to commentate that live knowing you've got
to be so careful with like how you say it,
trying not to laugh.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
It got me thinking talking about athletes. This might surprise you,
but I was once an athlete. No, no, no, I know
you are. I know you are, and I'm not going
to impede on your story.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
When Britt first told me that she was like a
world champion bodybuild up, I was like, you're lying, turns
the champion and I wasn't a bodybuild up.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Sorry, I was like where what? No?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
When I was younger, I was an Australian champion body
border like the leader, the lay down version of so.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Anyway, so I.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Was in these big competition ones and when there are
surfing calms, like there's always so many people on the beach.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Everyone lines the beach.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Girls unless it's like really cold water, always surfing like
a rash shirt top and swimming bottoms, like that's what
you do. This was in the day, not that it's changed,
but like you would wear really quite small Brazilian bottoms
because they were tighter and usually stayed on.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Anyway, this big wave came and I tried to.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Duck dive underneath it, and when I went under it,
the wave hit directly on my butt. So as my
butt's in the air going under the lip of the
wave hits my butt, I.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Go under the wave and it just rips my pants off.
Dat's you not down? Gone?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I am now nude with a bid of the waist down.
I'm nude with a beach full of.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
People watching me. And I come up and I can't
get back.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
On my board because imagine if I start paddling back out,
like right up the butthole. So I'm like trying to
keep my bottom half under the water. I'm yelling out
into the beach until I could communicate with someone, some stranger.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
To this day, I don't know. A random girl.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Had to take her pants off under her skirt on
the beach, throw them to me out in the water,
and I had to put someone else's swimm bottoms on.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
All I have to say to this is that if
this was Chris Robinson, he would have stood up.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
He would have kept going, Nothing would have stopped him,
because he's a real athlete.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I'm sorry, and you know how to duck dive.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Imagine me duck diving moon in the whole beach with
my buttthole straight out. More than that, I'm just imagining
you getting up and surfing away because you're like, I'm
not going to stop. I'm not going to miss out
on these pantlets from the waist down.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I don't know you want to know. Yes, I did win.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Now we've asked the question, guys, give us a call.
What did you find in your food? Because on the
weekend it was my daughter's sixth birthday party. Right, lots
of preparation. We did it at our house, which is
a terrible idea. Don't whole birthday parties at your house.
Lots of cleaner, lots.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Of prep little question yep, is fairy bread? Does it
still make an appearance at kids' birthday parties? Oh?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah I did.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I made half a loaf, wonder white butter and sprinkles,
and let me tell you, that was the only food
that was on the table that got completely devoured.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Of course it was pure sugar. It was shit. That
can't be shocking. Have you no one ate the carrot
sticks and hummons?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
There was a big fruit platter. No, but have you
actually tried it as an adult? It's terrible. It's really crunchy.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I don't like butter either, so I've had to forego
the fairy bread as an adult.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Yeah. It's more so that sprinkles are overrated.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
They taste awful, slightly sugary, not sugary enough, and they're
really hard. So all these little kids are just walking
around just getting turned on fairy bread.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Anyway, it was a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I should have stuck to the fairy bread, because I
did get a couple.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Of packets of chips. I'm a bit of a lazy
mum when it comes to a birthday party. We didn't
do a cake. We just had cupcakes that I was
still bought.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
You know, I put some candles in them.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
I've got a few bags of chippies. I was like,
put them on the table in bowls. Kids will have
a great time. You're not trad wifing.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
No, yeah, that's not my that's not my thing.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Anyway, I opened up one of the bags of chips
and it looked.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Okay on top. But then I looked a bit closer.
I was like, what is that?
Speaker 3 (09:04):
And I shook the bag a bit and there was
this I still don't know entirely what it was.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
It was about.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
It was about fifteen centimeters long, half a ruler that
doesn't even fit in a chip bag. Yeah about that
beer just fitted in like sideways. It took up the
entire like side length of the bag. It looked like
a full hash brown, like a McDonald's hash brown that
had been severely overcooked. But then on closer inspection, I
took a moment I was like, is that a chicken snitzl? Like,
(09:32):
is there a legit chicken snitsel in my chip bag? Anyway,
pulled it out. I'm pretty sure it was just layers
upon layers of compacted chips that had been deep fried
and deep fried and deep fried.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
And how does it get to that point? God knows.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
We thought it was the Golden hash brown that we found,
like we'd run a prize.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
But that's what I was actually gonna ask that did
you look up to see if there is a competition
running for like whoever whatever bag finds it, because that's
a thing.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
No, we have a listen to this. I can't if
this is an entire potato, a hash brown.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Or a lot of chips that have gotten stuck on
the conveyor belt together.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Would you you're disgusting.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
It's probably like the best bit of all the chips,
you know, like when they're crintry.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
It's really that's pretty good. That's so rare, delicacy.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
We got the special golden hash brown and then the
back of the gym.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
It's a delicacy. Matt.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Yeah, it's a delicacy. Matt took one for the team.
My husband, he ate. He took a big bite out
of it.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I think he just did it for no.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
He told me off camera that it was actually revolting.
He was like, I'm worried that I ate that maybe
to make me see at least it was something edible
that was in there, because there could be some weird
and wonderful things.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
That get stuck. Well there have been. There have been
some weird wonderful things.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Because we put the call out to you guys, what
did you find in your food? And let me tell
you everything from band aids to nails to it's been disgusting.
We've got Jess on the line. Jess, what did you
find in your food?
Speaker 5 (10:54):
I was at a cache and my omelet came out
and there was a humongous giant dragonfly, just cooked smack
bang in the middle of my arms.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Always so they might not God, they folded it in.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
Well, you know when your omelet comes down and it's
like half folded over, presented nicely, that it just.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Goes beyond negligence.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Imagine being that person that's in their cooking and they're like, nah,
either they see it, or they and they can't be
bothered to pick it out, or they're like didn't even look.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
They just flipped.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Now, I reckon they the chef knows how to do
the flip, right, I reckon he just turned his head
as he flipped it as it flew in like bad timing.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
What did you do, Jess? You sent it back?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Well I did.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
They weren't really concerned. They offered to make me a
new one, and I declined that, wow.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
A great service. Don't let's not name the cafe, all right, Karin,
We've got Kreon on the line. What did you find
your food?
Speaker 6 (11:49):
A family member came across a mouse frozen to the
bottom of like frozen pizza.
Speaker 7 (11:55):
But it was like.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
Between the Yeah, a mouse, a little little mouse already
stealed in a plastic part, so like between the boxes
of plastic.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
So yeah, I would never be able to eat a pizzer.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Again, I reckon.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
What's happened is when it was being transferred, the mouse
as they'd been through like a hole in the box,
and then it's just kind of like cozy in there.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
No, because you wouldn't dine there.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
He'd live forever but then but then it ended up
back in the freezer, and so the poor mouse got
snap frozen.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Wow, nutrients are still in there there, stop frozen like
a carrot.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
All right.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
I saw the production line like the mouse happened to
be on the production line. Squish bang in the freezer.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
It was oh, oh, Corien, thank you for that. Look,
there's been some real doozies.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Okay, guys, just just look at what you eat. Take out.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
A lot of fingernails came in. That was a real problem.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I have a lot of fakey's in the food.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
I nearly put a fakenail once into the nut arena,
you know the nut box at like the supermarkets, the okay, worse.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Nut arena. Yeah, it's an arena that is like a
great arena.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
You're going to end up in the nut arena if
you're not careful. We have a bit of a different
guest on the show today, one I'm quite excited to
speak about. I saw her story online and just couldn't
imagine what it would be like. We're speaking to Lyndall Bubke,
who is a donor conceived woman from Brisbane and she
recently found out that she has seventy seven half siblings
(13:21):
that were also conceived by the same donor sperm.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
So we have Lyndall on the phone. Lindall, welcome to
the show.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
Hi both, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
What how did you discover that you had seventy seven
half siblings.
Speaker 7 (13:33):
Oh, it's been a bit of a process. I did
an ancestry dnatist. My husband's family really into genealogy, and
I'm like, well, that'll be fun.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
What's the worst.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
That I imagine that'd be fun?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Did you know at that point that you had been
conceived through donor sperm? Like, did you know that that
was the case? Or was it all a bit of
a Pandora's box.
Speaker 7 (13:52):
It was a bit of a Pandora's box. I'm of
an age, I'm thirty three and most I was conceived
in the early nineties and at the time, rhetoric that
the clinics were really impressing upon parents was go home
and pretend it didn't happen. It's unkind to tell them.
You shouldn't tell them. They'll never be able to find
their donor, you know. And yes that's all true, not
(14:14):
only because they destroyed the records in a bit of
a journey, but these days people are told.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
At the time as well, there was nothing like ancestry
dot com, so they probably weren't thinking so to each other.
People would be able to do their own genealogy tests
Like that seems so sci fi for back then.
Speaker 7 (14:30):
I know who would have ever guessed?
Speaker 2 (14:32):
And then so okay, let's just set the scene tappling away.
You find out you've got seventy seven half siblings. How
do you then connect with them? Because I know quite
a lot of you have reached out and been in contact.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
Yeah, there's like a group chat we have at the
moment because fifteen of us in it. We get in
touch mostly VIADEA they're testing. The clinic has put a
couple of us in touch with each other, But the
clinic doesn't have records for all or most of us.
The seventy s and as you said, is a minimum.
It doesn't include all of the treading doctors at cleansand
(15:05):
fertility groups that destroyed their records. Mine included. So if
it hadn't been the fact that I did a DNA test,
I wouldn't have ever been able to connect with my siblings.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I imagine when you find out that there's you know,
potentially upwards of one hundred siblings.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
You would think, okay.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
I had to make two hundred and fifty to three
hundred and fifty conservatively based on how many times my
diner donated.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Which is wild, and your brain must go to the
fact of saying, okay, well, there's a high likelihood of
all these people growing up in the same area. Did
you just think that maybe you'd come across them in
the past, or what if you were dating them as
a teenager, or what if your husband was related to
in some way? Like did those thoughts cross your mind?
Speaker 7 (15:41):
Bang on the money with my biggest fears, they're Thankfully
my husband had already done a DNA test, so when
I got my results back, it was the first thing
I was checking in before I looked at the eleven
DNA matches. My parents had got in between the test
results hitting. They told me what to expect, So the
first thing I'm checking is is my husband relative? Thank
God it wasn't. But you know, I know that two
(16:03):
of my siblings have found out they were at a
party together as teenagers. It's all really close to home.
The chances of me knowing someone who's a sibling before
I find their sibling is pretty high. You know, one
of my one of my brothers is my cousin's friend.
We're born ten days apart, were probably conceived on the
same day, and that's quite.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Close, you know, from the same pot of spurm, same clinic.
Speaker 7 (16:26):
Yeah, I think we are actually.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Wow, wow, that is crazy.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
How look I mean and this might be a little
bit personal, but when your parents did tell you, because
obviously that you know, them intervening, trying to probably get
a front foot on that situation, how did you respond
to that?
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (16:41):
Look, it's hard, you know. I think they did the
best they could with the information they had. We all agree. Now,
my parents have been really supportive throughout this process because
this isn't what they find up for. But now that
they know this, they would have told me earlier. I
always tell people who are going through own conception, it's
so important. Ortn't to tell your kids have it just
(17:02):
be part of the narrative so it's not a big
shock when they find out.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Well, you are also campaigning for improved regulations in the
fertility clinics and creations of databases. Tell us exactly what
you're hoping to achieve, Like, what regulations do you think
we need to have to better control this.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
Yeah, well so at the moment we have state based
approaching and not every state has regulation. Until October and
Queensland last year there was literally nothing governing it and
that's why some terrible things happened. So if one state
is letting the team down, then the clinics can get
away with and they do get away with sending the
sperm into states to their related clinics or just selling
(17:41):
it to other clinics and using it in the different jurisdiction,
and that gets around the family limits and that's how
you create these pods of hundreds, sometimes thousands of siblings
in Australia.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
It's just insane.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
And also, I mean there's been a few documentaries and
stuff that have come out where it's really highlighted this
issue overseas, but I don't think anyone aware that it's
something that's happened here in Australia on home soil as well.
Speaker 7 (18:05):
And if we're using sperm that's imported from the States,
there's no checks and balances and how many times they've used.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
It, Well, you're gonna have a fun Christmas windle with
three hundred people.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
I don't know what you hope.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I don't know if you hope to find them all
or if you're happy to just like sort of live
with seventy seven the yeah, you would.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
You know, it just feels funny thinking there are these
people out there and share half of my DNA, But
I never know. That's just a sadness we all have
to wear.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Oh well, we hope you find them. It's a remarkable story,
but we are reading for you.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Thanks both, Thanks Linda, so Laura.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
On the weekend, I tried to do what I think
was a really good deed, well for myself and for
my sister. But what I did was I went through
all my cupboards and cleaned everything out. You know, you
have this like I just had too much stuff that
I've accumulated for years. I could open my wardrobe and
stuff from fifteen years ago would tumble out and almost
suffocate me. I have seen your wardrobe, brit and one
(19:01):
thing like, yes, you have a lot of clothes, but
the thing is is you also don't throw anything away,
so you keep all of your clothes like you have
multiple wardrobes. But I think because most of it's stuff
that you'll keep on rotation, right, Yes, I do. I'm
a real sucker for I'm like a hoarder for clothes.
Like some of my favorite pieces of clothing are from
fifteen years ago, so I don't necessarily just keep them.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I just love it.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
I don't fit anything from fifteen years ago. We are
yell And I kind of have a rule now because
my wardrobes one a time was very similar. But I
have a rule that if I haven't worn it in a.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Year, it goes.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
I give it away to someone, or I give it
to the Salvos.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
But I can't. I can't keep that many clothes my house.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Every like I don't know, six to eight months, I
do clean out and I send everything to the Salvos,
or I give it to my sister or a friend
to go through if it's like good quality stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
So I went through.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
I'd been going through it for probably the last four
months and slowly putting things into bags because I knew
my sister was going to be back from overseas. I
always let her go through and pick stuff and then
I take it to a charity store. And so I'd
been accumulating these bags and one was just bin like
stuff that was just so far gotte moss of eaten
it or whatever, Like I'm talking the dregs of my wardrobe.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
You're like, I would be embarrassed to give this to someone.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Yeah. Then I had the stuff that my sister could
go through that was like calling, you know, I would
fit out. Then I had the bag that would just
going straight to the charity win anyway. So I handed
off to my sister and she went back to the
Gold Coast because she doesn't live near me.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
And I don't hear from about it.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
And I was like really excited because I was giving
her really quality stuff. Anyway, So I bring it up
and I said to her day, did you go through
the bag?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
And she's like, yeah, I did.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
I was like, okay, did you keep anything?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Like did you like it or like you're welcome?
Speaker 7 (20:38):
She's just like.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
No, I think you would be nice. She's like no, Brittany,
it was disgusting. When I threw it out.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
I was like, well, I was like, you didn't keep
one thing nothing. She's like, no, nothing, Why would I?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
And I was so confused. I was like, there's some
of my best pieces. She was like what. It turns
out I gave her a bag of like.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
The oldest unnis that you've ever seen, Like undies that
I've worn that have holes in them, that have like
these are undies that have been through it.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I gave her stuff with moth holes in it. I
gave her the bag that was supposed.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
To go straight to the bin, not even a bag
that could go to a charity, not nothing.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
This is like you'd burn this bag, And that's what
she thought I gifted her.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
It's the bag of clothes where you know they've lived alive,
they have lived a century of life.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
I've seen some stuff, and I was mortified. So what
happened to the bag that she was meant to get?
Did you actually take that one to the salvage? So annoying? Yeah,
but that's great. There's really great subber videos.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
But I was mortified to think that I gave my
sister a bag of.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Like dirty undies.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I don't want to say it on radio, but I
was like, old use undies because I keep bundies for
like I know you do too, Laura, Oh.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Yeah, twenty years.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
I keep underwear until it no longer has an elastic,
which is coming really handy because I now my.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Butt's about twice the size it used to be and
all those houndies hit me again.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Do you like how I'm trying to whisper it, like
Australia can't hear it. If I whisper it, I was like,
I gave her a bag of dirty undies, like you're
still see it.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
I feel like this is a lesson for everyone, though.
If you're going to do a clean out, you've got
to label stuff. It seem like if you're moving house.
Because I once maybe about eight months ago, he actually
maybe a longer.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
No one cares. I had two bad time is irrelevant.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I had one bag to go to the dry cleaners
and one bag to go.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
To the Salvos. Both bags have been kicking around the
back of my car, the.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Boot, the garage like they've just been moved from different
areas because I kept on thinking I'll take it eventually.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Anyway, I mentioned to Matt, I was like, oh, there's
a bag in the back of my.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Car that needs to go the Salvos.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Didn't tell him that there was one that was supposed
to go to the dry cleaners, and everything ended up
at the Salvos.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
So that was really disappointing for me. Let's alert everyone, Yeah,
there's also some things that the owner didn't want to
part with as well. So off you go, guys, check
it out.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
So we're going to be talking about kissing your mates.
Now bear with me. The new Jurassic Park rebirth film
has just come out, so Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johanson
are the lead actors and actresses, and they are doing
the rounds at the moment for the premiere.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
You went last night, didn't you, Britt? Yeah, I did
go last night. How was it? Were they there?
Speaker 6 (22:58):
Well?
Speaker 2 (22:58):
I don't want to give any spoilers because the film
not out yet, but it was really scary. My anxiety
was high, but I get really scared in films, and
so like the anticipation of a dinosaur always going to
jump out.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Yay, it didn't.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Jimmy wonders how many Jurassic parts are there now?
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Three? Four? Don't quote me on that.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
They really give a lot of time in between over
fifteen years, like, no, seven years.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Maybe there's eight Jurassic Park from it. Eight. It's a
real fair thanks. I'm not seen away.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
No, I've seen about three of them, but I did
want to see this one because I have a crush
on Jonathan Bailey. He's my hall pass, gay or not,
he's my hall pass. But also I just thought it
would be really good with the CGI technology that they
have right now.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
I just thought it was going to be a really
good film. Anyway, that's not what we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
At all of their premieres, Scarlet and Jonathan have been
kissing on the lips, like smacking it on on the
red car.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
But and the way they greet each other, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Well, they sort of like go into an embrace, right
they hold she holds his face and he wraps his
arms around her, and they smooch.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Now not a makeout with tongue, but like.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
It's just a big smooch on the lips. And it's
for some reason causing a bit of controversy. Some people
are saying it's inappropriate because she's married, and should you
be able to make out with your friends?
Speaker 1 (24:12):
This is what Jonathan has to say. Well, another red carpet,
another kiss from Scarlet.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
You might just see the luckiest guy on the spread
carpet tonight.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Well, of course, yes, absolutely, if I mean I believe
in being able to show the love in all different ways,
and if you can't kiss your friends life's.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Too short, not too life is too short not to
kiss your friends. The question is, though, is like where's
the limit, Like, should we be kissing him on the lips.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
We'll be tongue.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I think tongue is a limit because they're only doing
it because he's gay, and I would dare say, and
she's heterosexual, so there's like no threat there.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Imagine if we came to work every day Britain and
we just kissed on the lips.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
So hello, I'd rather not imagine that.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
I definitely don't want you to imagine, or you come
to work and you kiss your heterosexual I don't know.
I'm trying to one of the boys who works in audio,
because you guys are friends.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
It's weird. It's all weird. Why are we kissing our
friends on the lips? Look, I get it's it's strange.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
I think in a way, there's nothing wrong with that, cute,
wholesome whatever your besties. One of he's gay, so like
it's trying to say that he wouldn't have any interest.
I understand that angle, but I don't understand the necessity.
Like you could also greet them and just say hello
on the cheek, and.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
I just think I'd have to ask my.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Husband Ben, but I don't think he would be thrilled
if I was like making out with my friends just
because they're gay, Like, I don't think it would matter
to him.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
He would be like, well, I don't see why you've
got to make out with him gay? My question. I
assume that would be his response. Yeah, and I look,
I mean whatever.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
They're obviously doing it because it's getting great publicity and
it's good for the publicity to all. Let's be real,
that's the only reason why they're doing it. But does
Scarlett kiss any of her girlfriends on the lips? I'd
love to know, because if there's footage of her rocking
up to every other premiere that she's done kissing a
girlfriends on the lips. And it's not because I think
there's anything going on, I absolutely don't. I just think
it's very pr able, that's all. They're both hot as
(25:58):
they have an acute smooch and it's making people feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
I didn't sign any nondisclosures. The film comes out in
a week, but I'm about to say one time in
little spoiler, it's not a spoiler, it turn it off.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
If you don't want to hear it. I'm not going
to give too much away. So some people get eaten
by dinosaurs.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I do wonder if they're leaning into their storyline because
there's definitely something going on between them and the story.
So I'm just wondering if it's like a play on
that for publicity purpose.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Well, we see this all the time, right, this is
that kind of like Sydney. Yeah, the celebrity one oh
one is like, if there's on screen chemistry, pretending or
playing out or leaning into that, off screen chemistry really
helps people get invested in the characters and the storyline.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
So it was Sydney Sweeney and Glenn.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Power in Anyone but You, and they really leant into
them having like potentially an off screen romance, which at
the time was a bit spicy.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Because she was engaged and he had a girlfriend. I reckon.
They weren't even leaning in and I reckon, They did?
You reckon? They did? Yeah, and then they had.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
To Then they said, we're just leaning in for I
wonder if these two are going to come out and
he's like, actually, I really do find Scarlet quite attractive
and now we're together.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
There you go wouldn't that be a real curve for
she's happily married. That's true. Now, Britt, there.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Is something I have to talk to you about. I
watched possibly my favorite documentary that I've seen in a
long time last night on Netflix.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Does concern me that this is your favorite documentary? Shocking?
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Yes, surprising? Yes, Stinky could not turn it off. It
is called The Poop Cruise and now it's on Netflix.
It's been made by I think the overarching series is
called train Wreck.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
This is absolutely not sponsored.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
I just cannot get over what happened in that documentary.
So if anyone who hasn't seen it yet, The Poop
Cruise is all about a carnival cruise called the Triumph.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Now there's quite a few I mean, how many years
ago was it, Producer Grace, it was twenty thirteen. It happened,
so twenty thirteen. Imagine this.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
A cruise ship goes out into the middle of the ocean.
There's a fire on board, right, and so all of
the passengers start hearing this code alpha repeated over and
over and over. And the reason why this is important
is because none of the passengers know what code alpha means.
Of course not and So apparently cruise ships have all
these different codes for different situations so that crew know
(28:14):
what's happening, but the passengers aren't alarmed.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Yeah, of course, like there's something to look at, but
we don't want you to get scared.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Yeah, so now we all know that code alpha actually
means that there's a fire on board, and that fire
ripped through the engine rooms.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
They managed to put it out, but in.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Doing so, it took out all the electricity. Now there
was no lights, there was no refrigeration, there was nothing
on this on this boat.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
How have I had to see?
Speaker 3 (28:34):
They like days, it's like literally the middle of the ocean.
But the thing that was the most problematic is that
all of the toilets also work off the electricity from
the boat, so there was no flushing toilets. Oh no,
which meant that they had to come up with a solution.
Have a listen to this.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
It was immediately crisis mood.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
The toilets were working, well, we could do a number
one in the shower, and.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I'm telling you, you got bad fash.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
I would never expect having a poop and a red bag.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Oh no, oh no, no, Suddenly everyone's out for themselves.
You could hear the panic. We were starting to smell urine.
Oh oh my god. It was terrifying. Guys.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Imagine being on a cruise ship, which I love cruising.
Imagine getting stuck in the middle of the ocean in
the dark and being given a red bag to do
a poo in.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
So that's okay if it's like, hey, if you guys
got to poof for the rest of the day.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
But how long are they stuck out there for?
Speaker 3 (29:33):
So it ended up being about three and a half
or four days that they were actually stuck out there
until what happened is these tugboats came and they collected them,
and the tugboats pulled them into the nearest port.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
The problem is is that when the.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Tugboats started pulling the ship, the ship lent sideways and
all of the contents of the toilets and everything.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Else that have been building up just sloshed over the
walls and onto the roof and it was raining down
the walls, I feel like it, and it was all
over the floor.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
So they were just waiting. I don't know why I
got to the why. It was a.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Fascinating documentary, but also I really liked this idea and
I know that some of the codes are secret.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Don't go and look them all up. We did it
for you.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
And I just want to share a few funny ones.
Cruisers have these different codes. Some of them are very
serious and some of them are really funny. There's also
a bit of a secret hidden language on cruise ships.
So have you guys heard of like the pineapple thing?
So the pineapple thing is if you're a patron on
a cruise ship and you're either wearing a pineapple paraphernalia
(30:32):
or you stick a sticker of a pineapple on your door,
it means that you're a swinger. And so apparently like
a lot of people go on these cruise ships so
that they can spot partners.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
And I know the pineapple. I have heard of the pineapple.
I know friends that have used the pineapple in fact.
Really yeah, how to go down for them? Well, what
do you do?
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Do You just knock on the door because they've got
a pineapple out the front, and you just know that
it's kind of like free entry.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
No, it's a free entry. You just come in and
out when you're coming pee in my shower.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
I also want to know if this is like specific
cruise ships that this happens on or is it just
like you can go on the Disney cruise and like
mom and Dad might have a pineapple on the door.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Well, I think it overflows into like the supermarkets when
we used to talk about the supermarket dating where they
have like bananas or pine different codes in your shopping
trolley that signal to other people if you're like available or.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Looking for stuff.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Or well, if you're ever on a cruise and you
hear code WINNI he's one to look out for. Code
winnie means that a passenger has just done a poo
in the pool, but they don't want anyone to know
about it because they can't pump a pool on a
cruise ship.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Where does the water go?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
I think you're doing a disservice to the cruise ships
here by outing their secrets.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Well, hopefully you're on a cruise that doesn't have any
of these problems. That would be a real worry.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Well, if people with pooing pools all the time, these
pools are full of kids, Like there are turds floating
in pools.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Another one was code road cone, and that means that
there's a passenger using Walkers who is moving extremely slowly.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Why would you ever need to give a call out?
Why do you need to announce that?
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Okay, another one code oscar man overboard. You probably should
know that one.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
That's really serious.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Guys, cruise ships and they're a world to their own
and no one ever wants to get stuck on the
poop cruise. But if you do want something to watch
this evening fantastic doc.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Oh okay, Well, I don't know if I'm going to
add it to my list tonight.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
I am.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
I do genuinely love cruising. It has not changed anything
for me. I would love to go back and do another.
I think we went on a p and O cruise
last year, loved it.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
If you got stuck on a poop cruise you would
feel differently. But thank you Laura for bringing that that
high recommendation.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Now, you guys might be familiar with the Reddit thread.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Am I the a whole? Yes? I am. You get
a lot of content from doing a lot of content
from that through Are you laying down now?
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Britt give her if this was a visual medium, Brittany's
actually just laid down in her chair, she'd say she's throwing.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
The rest of the show today Friday, give it Home.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Okay, we'll hear this story out. Am I the a hole.
I want everyone's opinions on this. So this woman has
been married to her husband for over twenty years and
she's been dealing with the same issue from him, which
I'm not really convinced it's an issue firstly, and secondly,
I don't know whether her retaliation to.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
This issue is justified. Well, I do love to be
judge and dura, so hit me. Okay.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
So for twenty years, this woman has been asking her
husband if he can switch the shower vut of rod
you know, so like you know, imagine you get into
a bath shower, so you're standing in the bath. You
can either have different settings on your shower head, so
either the water comes out of the shower head or
you turn the valve and the water comes out of
your bath.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
I just like it.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
That button stand a shower, yes, and so it can
switch between right. Anyways, She's been asking her husband for
years if when he finishes his shower, can he please
switch it to the bath mode so that way when
she gets in the shower and turns it on, she
doesn't get sprayed by cold water. This has been going
on back and forth. Apparently he will do it for
a couple of weeks, then he'll forget. She hates getting
blasted in the face by cold water.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
She gets upset by it.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
It's been a real point of contention in their relationship,
which makes me think that they need better things to
argue about.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
I know exactly what she's referring to. It is really
annoying when you think it's on one setting and it's not,
and it blasts you with cold w when you get
startled absolutely.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Well, you know when you get in and you're like.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Didn't expect to get sprayed in the face by cold
water in the middle of winter.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Okay, well, can I bring you my verdict? Wait, I've
already decided that you haven't even heard her retaliation.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Okay, So, after twenty years of putting up with this,
week in week out, her husband saying.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Sorry, I'll try harder, I'll be better. I'll remember this day.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
She gets in the shower, she gets sprayed in the
face by cold water. She's freezing. She gets out, she
gets a cup, she fills it with cold water. Now
her husband is also naked in the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
For some reason. It didn't go into details as to why.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
But he was naked, and she walked straight up to
him and she threw a cup of freezing cold water
in his face, and she said to him, does the.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Naked just have to do with the throw in the face.
I thought she was going to throw it somewhere.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Else, because I think if you're naked, it makes it
worse if you get a couple of water thrown at you,
because it goes down your whole body. Why are you
shaking your head at me, Grace.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
I think it would be better to be thrown the water.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Thanks, thanks, Grace, I'm so gold.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Yeah, because then no clothes get wet. Fair. Yeah, I
think you just be colder.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Imagine being naked and someone throwing cold water on your
entire body in the morning. Anyway, whatever, we're bogged down. Okay,
So she's gotten on to am I the a hole?
And her question is did she overreact or should she
just every morning that her husband now forgets, spray him.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Like you do to a dog when they do the
wrong thing. Let me pray bottle. Let me just go
to the jury. Okay, I have my verdict. Yes, she's
the a hole. I reckon. She's the ahole.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
If you're saying it's up to you to switch the
shower back when you're done, then it's equally up to
you to make sure the shower's on your setting. If
it's that much of an issue that you're asking your
partner to remember to switch it back, it's an equal issue.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
For you to remember to do it.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Like, I think for you to put that on him,
you're just angry that you forgot, that.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
You forgot to do it, Like, that's so silly to me.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
She's blaming him for something that she could easily fix.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Yeah, but then if you've forgotten something, you need someone
to blame.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
It's hard to blame yourself. I'm joking.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
I do think she's the eight hole in this situation,
even though I do like to blame my husband for
things he probably didn't do. But I think that the
reaction that she's received online is absolutely not what she expected.
I think she was expecting people to be like, yes,
get it, queer, poor thing. You'd be putting up with
this for twenty years.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
You've been startled with cold wter, and the entire internet
was like, your poor husband, he's divorcing for sure, do
you reckon one hundred percent? Imagine what she's reacting over
when she finds out he's cheating on us.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Over the weekend. Last weekend, it was my oldest daughter,
Morley May. It was her six year birthday party.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Six years. Just what it is? Six verse six? It's
her sixth year. Just she's six on the planet. Yeah,
she was six.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
We had a birthday party for her and we had
a pinata. I think the pinnadas are just like the
most staple kid's birthday party. If you need something to
do that's going to tie them over for ten minutes,
and you also want to get all these out of
your own house. You stuff a pinata, you hang it up,
and you let the kids it for a while.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
I'm a Pinarda super fan. I'm not gonna lie. You're
a Pinada super fan. Every year. I pinada once a year. Pa.
People don't know this about me. I am a secret
Pinata just by yourself or pinada. It is my family's
Christmas tradition. Since literally there's not a year. We don't
have a photo since we were like three years old.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Like our whole family, all my cousins and nannie's and
everyone pinadas every single Christmas.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
So I posted it on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
Right there was a couple of photos from the birthday
party that I put up and I posted one.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
Of my stories on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
I never realized that pinadas were controversial. I didn't know this. Well,
apparently they are. And the reason why I say this.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Is because not you, I mean sorry, people like just
have some fun, let's go home.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
No, there was quite a few people in my dms
who firstly, the question was raised.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Around the violence of pinadas. There was also questions about
you're trying to get a lolly. You're getting a lolly.
I'm sorry, I can't even I'm gonna go home. My
flavate listener is okay, let me explain to you.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
And when it was raised, firstly, I did read one
of these comments that was sent to me and I
was a bit like, oh, I see your point, but
I think it's a stretch. So we always talk to
our kids about not being violent, right about like never
hit things, don't hit people, don't throw your toys, like
behave in a way that's showing kindness, I guess, And
that's the thing that you always try and uphold with
(38:24):
your children. And then at birthday parties or once a year. Apparently,
if you're Brittany Hockley, you get your kid's favorite thing, Like,
what's their most favorite thing in the entire world world
A unicorn. Let's stuff it, Let's fist it with lollies,
and then give it a noose and hang it up
by the neck and get all the kids.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
In the line.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Just smack it with a pole. Now, this this person,
so I know, I know, I know, and I agree
with you. I was like, guys, I think that we've
gone too far. The PC police need to calm down. However,
someone then sent to me that there are a type
of pinnata called no hit pinada. So it's a pinada
that's been specifically designed.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
For parents who want to have no violence. It's not violent,
wait for it.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
And it comes with all these strings in the belly
and so it's kind of like a lucky dip. So
it's got all these different strings that hang down from it,
and the little kids go and they pull a string
and then that one didn't do anything.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Another pull a string.
Speaker 3 (39:22):
That one didn't do anything, And if you get the
right string, you go boom, and then the belly of
the unicorn opens up and all the lollies rain.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Down and the kids downing underneath fun does no kid
wants to pull a string.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Guys, I'm all for being progressive, but this is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Like, just okay, hear me out. You don't have to
have a unicorn.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
Why don't you get a criminal a pinada in the
shape of a house and call it renovation.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Teach your kids young, we're knocking the house down, We're
gonna rebuild. It's an episode of the block. It's not violent.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
You're literally trying to have fun to It's like like
playing baseball.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
You swinging a bat. We're gonna not play baseball.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
Like, what's the problem here, Stop taking away all the
fun from the kids.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
Okay, well you heard it here first, Britney's against it.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
I'm not giving I can see that, and no one,
no one's ever gonna ask you to.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
I will never ever give you a no hit pinada.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
I can't even believe they exist. Look, and I'm on
your side with this. I got the messages and I.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Was like, surely now you'll be shocked at how extreme
we are with our pinada.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
We noy's got a pinata tattoo. No wait, to hear this.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
We've always had multiple pinadas. We make them, and we
make them at different levels. My grandpa are used to
make them so hard that the adults would have like
baseball bats that couldn't crack them, because he thought it
was hilarious to make it out of like proper cement
and stuff. So we would have like easy pinadas for
the little kids, would have different levels. To ensure that
(40:47):
everyone at our Christmas party got a pinada, we built
Pulley systems. They're on Pulley systems over the poles and
stuff like we take pinata ing.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
So seriously, I didn't realize that this was Yeah, so
I'm pro priata.
Speaker 2 (40:59):
Don't know that I was going up against someone who
was a fully invested pinada person.
Speaker 1 (41:03):
He was one of my best friends, Laura.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Anyways, Oh guys, that's it from USCO and enjoy your
pinadas on the weekend.
This episode was recorded on cameragle Land. Hi guys, and
welcome back to another episode of Life on Cut.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I'm Brittany and I'm Laura, and I'm getting shamed for
how much I've eaten because it doesn't fit that is,
you are.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Full of it.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
We're not shaming you for what you ate. We're shaming
you because you go, oh, I don't know why. What's
such a baud indigestion.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
When I just watched you annihilate a block.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Of chocolate, the biggest sandwich I've ever seen, and a coffee.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Not shamed as in, like Laura, you ate too much.
But I am constantly complaining about being pregnant, and then
I constantly complain about having indigestion. And I also know
that you should just have small, frequent meals, but I
like to have the world's biggest sandwich and then down
half a block of.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Chocolate and a coffee.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I mean, the way you eat now has changed, Like
you annihilate, you inhale your food, and I've never seen
someone eat so quickly since you when you're pregnant, and.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I'm also addicted addicted to sandwiches. I hate to say it,
You're not supposed to eat ham when you're pregnant, Like, so.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
You eat like a kilo. Sh don't tell everyone you said,
I don't need the motherhood judgment.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
No, Ham's like one of the things that they say, Ah,
be careful of deli meats because they can have you know,
you can get sick from deli meats.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
But if you get fresh, good deli meats, I.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Think you're all right. Don't go get it from the
service station. But I've I've been smashing ham sandwiches like
it is my absolute job.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
So is it like you're not supposed to consume ham
at any time of the pregnancy or just the start or.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
There's lots of rules around the things that you should
and shouldn't eat or should give a wide berth to,
Like you shouldn't eat oysters, you shouldn't eat our foulfa sprout,
and like the cheeses and stuff of soft cheeses and
stuff like that. And I think, like I'm pretty good
with most stuff, but ham's been hard.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Okay, guys hard. What's the our falfa sprouts? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
It's like sprouts, and I think it's because they're very
water dense and they can also make you sick. Whatever, Sorry,
no one cares if you're not pregnant. But the food
list is long.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Okay, Well, this is our radio show, so this is
the best of the week of the pickup. We pick
out some of our highlights and we bundle up and
give it to you here.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Well, speaking of food, guys, I did talk about food
again on the radio show this week.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I got a.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Packet of chips, which I mean, is not that surprising
now that gotta makes it sound like I don't stop
eating at the moment, doesn't it just out?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
They're like, what is this show? So, guys breaking news?
I got some chips.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
No, I got a packet of chips, and I found
something in my chips that no one should find in
their chips. And we asked the question, what did you
find in your food? And let me tell you, I
thought that.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Getting you know, what could only be described as potentially
a chicken snitzel or a hash brown floating around my
bag of chips was weird enough. Some of the things
that were sent to us were absolutely diabolically disgusting, revolting. Yea,
it makes you never want to eat again. But yeah,
so that's what coming up with joy Laura's I'll get
some ham. The other thing you guys might have seen
(02:42):
that tickled us in ways might probably shouldn't have the hurdler,
the hurdler that has been going viral for having a
bit of a wardrobe mishap mid run. I don't want
to give too much away, but eas your imagination and
still managing to finish the race in first place.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Someone might have thought he was doing the pul vault,
but no, he was a hurdler.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Someone might have thought he was a photographer with a tripod,
but nope, he was an athlete.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Anyway, guys, it's all coming up. Let's get into it.
Every week before we start this show, it might come
as a surprise to some of you, but we do
sit down and talk about what we're going to talk
about on it. We throw around, we throw around some headlines,
We throw around some big news things that we want
to unpack and get to the bottom of.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
And there was this one.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Article that got put into the group chat by our
wonderful producer Grace, and this.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Is the headline.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Runner wins four hundred meter hurdle race despite having his
penis constantly fall out of his.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Shorts, and I just thought, firstly, yes, we're going to
unpack it. Literally he unpacked it. But Bill, is this
where we're at? Is this it? Is this the height
of content or the bottom of content?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I don't know, and we shouldn't be laughing at it
because it was a very unfortunate incident.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
But we're not laughing. Let me set this up for you, guys.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
If you haven't seen this in news is it is
taking over. Chris Robinson. So he won the four hundred
meter hurdle race and he had probably the worst wardrobe
malfunction that one can have. Even though his manhood fell out,
he still did a time of forty eight point zero
five seconds, and that time was only one tenth get this,
(04:12):
one tenth of a second slower than his personal best.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
It actually goes to show you. That goes to show you.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Remember when Kathy Freeman wore that speed suit and she
debuted speedsuit and everyone was saying, doesn't make it difference.
She said, the importance of it, like shaving seconds off.
This goes to show you. When this flopped out, it
took a tenth of a second off. So that kind
of thing is really important.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
No, do you know what I think. I read that,
and I was like, that is an athlete. That is
a man with the most namely one other person that
has the willpower or the mental stamina to go.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Do you know what? I know this is happening right now,
but I'm gonna run for my life. Like if I'm.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Sorry that for me, I would stop, I would at
least slow down, make an adjustment, But not him, He's
not distracted. One of my favorite parts admitted though, was
the commentary around what was happening.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Have listened to this.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Congratulations Chris Robinson for battling a problem that does emerge occasionally.
Various parts of their equipment failure can make it very
very awkward, but very nearly a personal best with those
adjustments going on constant to man handling going on with
the left hand. But boy, he just said in front,
(05:20):
Why is.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
The commentator so breathy through the He's constantly managed imagine,
imagine not need to commentate that live knowing you've got
to be so careful with like how you say it,
trying not to laugh.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
It got me thinking talking about athletes. This might surprise you,
but I was once an athlete. No, no, no, I know
you are. I know you are, and I'm not going
to impede on your story.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
When Britt first told me that she was like a
world champion bodybuild up, I was like, you're lying, turns
the champion and I wasn't a bodybuild up.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Sorry, I was like where what? No?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
When I was younger, I was an Australian champion body
border like the leader, the lay down version of so.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Anyway, so I.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Was in these big competition ones and when there are
surfing calms, like there's always so many people on the beach.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Everyone lines the beach.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Girls unless it's like really cold water, always surfing like
a rash shirt top and swimming bottoms, like that's what
you do. This was in the day, not that it's changed,
but like you would wear really quite small Brazilian bottoms
because they were tighter and usually stayed on.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Anyway, this big wave came and I tried to.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Duck dive underneath it, and when I went under it,
the wave hit directly on my butt. So as my
butt's in the air going under the lip of the
wave hits my butt, I.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Go under the wave and it just rips my pants off.
Dat's you not down? Gone?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I am now nude with a bid of the waist down.
I'm nude with a beach full of.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
People watching me. And I come up and I can't
get back.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
On my board because imagine if I start paddling back out,
like right up the butthole. So I'm like trying to
keep my bottom half under the water. I'm yelling out
into the beach until I could communicate with someone, some stranger.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
To this day, I don't know. A random girl.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Had to take her pants off under her skirt on
the beach, throw them to me out in the water,
and I had to put someone else's swimm bottoms on.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
All I have to say to this is that if
this was Chris Robinson, he would have stood up.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
He would have kept going, Nothing would have stopped him,
because he's a real athlete.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I'm sorry, and you know how to duck dive.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Imagine me duck diving moon in the whole beach with
my buttthole straight out. More than that, I'm just imagining
you getting up and surfing away because you're like, I'm
not going to stop. I'm not going to miss out
on these pantlets from the waist down.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I don't know you want to know. Yes, I did win.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Now we've asked the question, guys, give us a call.
What did you find in your food? Because on the
weekend it was my daughter's sixth birthday party. Right, lots
of preparation. We did it at our house, which is
a terrible idea. Don't whole birthday parties at your house.
Lots of cleaner, lots.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Of prep little question yep, is fairy bread? Does it
still make an appearance at kids' birthday parties? Oh?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah I did.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I made half a loaf, wonder white butter and sprinkles,
and let me tell you, that was the only food
that was on the table that got completely devoured.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Of course it was pure sugar. It was shit. That
can't be shocking. Have you no one ate the carrot
sticks and hummons?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
There was a big fruit platter. No, but have you
actually tried it as an adult? It's terrible. It's really crunchy.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I don't like butter either, so I've had to forego
the fairy bread as an adult.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Yeah. It's more so that sprinkles are overrated.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
They taste awful, slightly sugary, not sugary enough, and they're
really hard. So all these little kids are just walking
around just getting turned on fairy bread.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Anyway, it was a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I should have stuck to the fairy bread, because I
did get a couple.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Of packets of chips. I'm a bit of a lazy
mum when it comes to a birthday party. We didn't
do a cake. We just had cupcakes that I was
still bought.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
You know, I put some candles in them.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
I've got a few bags of chippies. I was like,
put them on the table in bowls. Kids will have
a great time. You're not trad wifing.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
No, yeah, that's not my that's not my thing.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Anyway, I opened up one of the bags of chips
and it looked.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Okay on top. But then I looked a bit closer.
I was like, what is that?
Speaker 3 (09:04):
And I shook the bag a bit and there was
this I still don't know entirely what it was.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
It was about.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
It was about fifteen centimeters long, half a ruler that
doesn't even fit in a chip bag. Yeah about that
beer just fitted in like sideways. It took up the
entire like side length of the bag. It looked like
a full hash brown, like a McDonald's hash brown that
had been severely overcooked. But then on closer inspection, I
took a moment I was like, is that a chicken snitzl? Like,
(09:32):
is there a legit chicken snitsel in my chip bag? Anyway,
pulled it out. I'm pretty sure it was just layers
upon layers of compacted chips that had been deep fried
and deep fried and deep fried.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
And how does it get to that point? God knows.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
We thought it was the Golden hash brown that we found,
like we'd run a prize.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
But that's what I was actually gonna ask that did
you look up to see if there is a competition
running for like whoever whatever bag finds it, because that's
a thing.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
No, we have a listen to this. I can't if
this is an entire potato, a hash brown.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Or a lot of chips that have gotten stuck on
the conveyor belt together.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Would you you're disgusting.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
It's probably like the best bit of all the chips,
you know, like when they're crintry.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
It's really that's pretty good. That's so rare, delicacy.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
We got the special golden hash brown and then the
back of the gym.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
It's a delicacy. Matt.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Yeah, it's a delicacy. Matt took one for the team.
My husband, he ate. He took a big bite out
of it.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I think he just did it for no.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
He told me off camera that it was actually revolting.
He was like, I'm worried that I ate that maybe
to make me see at least it was something edible
that was in there, because there could be some weird
and wonderful things.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
That get stuck. Well there have been. There have been
some weird wonderful things.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Because we put the call out to you guys, what
did you find in your food? And let me tell
you everything from band aids to nails to it's been disgusting.
We've got Jess on the line. Jess, what did you
find in your food?
Speaker 5 (10:54):
I was at a cache and my omelet came out
and there was a humongous giant dragonfly, just cooked smack
bang in the middle of my arms.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Always so they might not God, they folded it in.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
Well, you know when your omelet comes down and it's
like half folded over, presented nicely, that it just.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Goes beyond negligence.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Imagine being that person that's in their cooking and they're like, nah,
either they see it, or they and they can't be
bothered to pick it out, or they're like didn't even look.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
They just flipped.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Now, I reckon they the chef knows how to do
the flip, right, I reckon he just turned his head
as he flipped it as it flew in like bad timing.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
What did you do, Jess? You sent it back?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Well I did.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
They weren't really concerned. They offered to make me a
new one, and I declined that, wow.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
A great service. Don't let's not name the cafe, all right, Karin,
We've got Kreon on the line. What did you find
your food?
Speaker 6 (11:49):
A family member came across a mouse frozen to the
bottom of like frozen pizza.
Speaker 7 (11:55):
But it was like.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
Between the Yeah, a mouse, a little little mouse already
stealed in a plastic part, so like between the boxes
of plastic.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
So yeah, I would never be able to eat a pizzer.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Again, I reckon.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
What's happened is when it was being transferred, the mouse
as they'd been through like a hole in the box,
and then it's just kind of like cozy in there.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
No, because you wouldn't dine there.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
He'd live forever but then but then it ended up
back in the freezer, and so the poor mouse got
snap frozen.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Wow, nutrients are still in there there, stop frozen like
a carrot.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
All right.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
I saw the production line like the mouse happened to
be on the production line. Squish bang in the freezer.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
It was oh, oh, Corien, thank you for that. Look,
there's been some real doozies.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Okay, guys, just just look at what you eat. Take out.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
A lot of fingernails came in. That was a real problem.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I have a lot of fakey's in the food.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
I nearly put a fakenail once into the nut arena,
you know the nut box at like the supermarkets, the okay, worse.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Nut arena. Yeah, it's an arena that is like a
great arena.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
You're going to end up in the nut arena if
you're not careful. We have a bit of a different
guest on the show today, one I'm quite excited to
speak about. I saw her story online and just couldn't
imagine what it would be like. We're speaking to Lyndall Bubke,
who is a donor conceived woman from Brisbane and she
recently found out that she has seventy seven half siblings
(13:21):
that were also conceived by the same donor sperm.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
So we have Lyndall on the phone. Lindall, welcome to
the show.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
Hi both, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
What how did you discover that you had seventy seven
half siblings.
Speaker 7 (13:33):
Oh, it's been a bit of a process. I did
an ancestry dnatist. My husband's family really into genealogy, and
I'm like, well, that'll be fun.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
What's the worst.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
That I imagine that'd be fun?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Did you know at that point that you had been
conceived through donor sperm? Like, did you know that that
was the case? Or was it all a bit of
a Pandora's box.
Speaker 7 (13:52):
It was a bit of a Pandora's box. I'm of
an age, I'm thirty three and most I was conceived
in the early nineties and at the time, rhetoric that
the clinics were really impressing upon parents was go home
and pretend it didn't happen. It's unkind to tell them.
You shouldn't tell them. They'll never be able to find
their donor, you know. And yes that's all true, not
(14:14):
only because they destroyed the records in a bit of
a journey, but these days people are told.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
At the time as well, there was nothing like ancestry
dot com, so they probably weren't thinking so to each other.
People would be able to do their own genealogy tests
Like that seems so sci fi for back then.
Speaker 7 (14:30):
I know who would have ever guessed?
Speaker 2 (14:32):
And then so okay, let's just set the scene tappling away.
You find out you've got seventy seven half siblings. How
do you then connect with them? Because I know quite
a lot of you have reached out and been in contact.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
Yeah, there's like a group chat we have at the
moment because fifteen of us in it. We get in
touch mostly VIADEA they're testing. The clinic has put a
couple of us in touch with each other, But the
clinic doesn't have records for all or most of us.
The seventy s and as you said, is a minimum.
It doesn't include all of the treading doctors at cleansand
(15:05):
fertility groups that destroyed their records. Mine included. So if
it hadn't been the fact that I did a DNA test,
I wouldn't have ever been able to connect with my siblings.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I imagine when you find out that there's you know,
potentially upwards of one hundred siblings.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
You would think, okay.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
I had to make two hundred and fifty to three
hundred and fifty conservatively based on how many times my
diner donated.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Which is wild, and your brain must go to the
fact of saying, okay, well, there's a high likelihood of
all these people growing up in the same area. Did
you just think that maybe you'd come across them in
the past, or what if you were dating them as
a teenager, or what if your husband was related to
in some way? Like did those thoughts cross your mind?
Speaker 7 (15:41):
Bang on the money with my biggest fears, they're Thankfully
my husband had already done a DNA test, so when
I got my results back, it was the first thing
I was checking in before I looked at the eleven
DNA matches. My parents had got in between the test
results hitting. They told me what to expect, So the
first thing I'm checking is is my husband relative? Thank
God it wasn't. But you know, I know that two
(16:03):
of my siblings have found out they were at a
party together as teenagers. It's all really close to home.
The chances of me knowing someone who's a sibling before
I find their sibling is pretty high. You know, one
of my one of my brothers is my cousin's friend.
We're born ten days apart, were probably conceived on the
same day, and that's quite.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Close, you know, from the same pot of spurm, same clinic.
Speaker 7 (16:26):
Yeah, I think we are actually.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Wow, wow, that is crazy.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
How look I mean and this might be a little
bit personal, but when your parents did tell you, because
obviously that you know, them intervening, trying to probably get
a front foot on that situation, how did you respond
to that?
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (16:41):
Look, it's hard, you know. I think they did the
best they could with the information they had. We all agree. Now,
my parents have been really supportive throughout this process because
this isn't what they find up for. But now that
they know this, they would have told me earlier. I
always tell people who are going through own conception, it's
so important. Ortn't to tell your kids have it just
(17:02):
be part of the narrative so it's not a big
shock when they find out.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Well, you are also campaigning for improved regulations in the
fertility clinics and creations of databases. Tell us exactly what
you're hoping to achieve, Like, what regulations do you think
we need to have to better control this.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
Yeah, well so at the moment we have state based
approaching and not every state has regulation. Until October and
Queensland last year there was literally nothing governing it and
that's why some terrible things happened. So if one state
is letting the team down, then the clinics can get
away with and they do get away with sending the
sperm into states to their related clinics or just selling
(17:41):
it to other clinics and using it in the different jurisdiction,
and that gets around the family limits and that's how
you create these pods of hundreds, sometimes thousands of siblings
in Australia.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
It's just insane.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
And also, I mean there's been a few documentaries and
stuff that have come out where it's really highlighted this
issue overseas, but I don't think anyone aware that it's
something that's happened here in Australia on home soil as well.
Speaker 7 (18:05):
And if we're using sperm that's imported from the States,
there's no checks and balances and how many times they've used.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
It, Well, you're gonna have a fun Christmas windle with
three hundred people.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
I don't know what you hope.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I don't know if you hope to find them all
or if you're happy to just like sort of live
with seventy seven the yeah, you would.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
You know, it just feels funny thinking there are these
people out there and share half of my DNA, But
I never know. That's just a sadness we all have
to wear.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Oh well, we hope you find them. It's a remarkable story,
but we are reading for you.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Thanks both, Thanks Linda, so Laura.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
On the weekend, I tried to do what I think
was a really good deed, well for myself and for
my sister. But what I did was I went through
all my cupboards and cleaned everything out. You know, you
have this like I just had too much stuff that
I've accumulated for years. I could open my wardrobe and
stuff from fifteen years ago would tumble out and almost
suffocate me. I have seen your wardrobe, brit and one
(19:01):
thing like, yes, you have a lot of clothes, but
the thing is is you also don't throw anything away,
so you keep all of your clothes like you have
multiple wardrobes. But I think because most of it's stuff
that you'll keep on rotation, right, Yes, I do. I'm
a real sucker for I'm like a hoarder for clothes.
Like some of my favorite pieces of clothing are from
fifteen years ago, so I don't necessarily just keep them.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I just love it.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
I don't fit anything from fifteen years ago. We are
yell And I kind of have a rule now because
my wardrobes one a time was very similar. But I
have a rule that if I haven't worn it in a.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Year, it goes.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
I give it away to someone, or I give it
to the Salvos.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
But I can't. I can't keep that many clothes my house.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Every like I don't know, six to eight months, I
do clean out and I send everything to the Salvos,
or I give it to my sister or a friend
to go through if it's like good quality stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
So I went through.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
I'd been going through it for probably the last four
months and slowly putting things into bags because I knew
my sister was going to be back from overseas. I
always let her go through and pick stuff and then
I take it to a charity store. And so I'd
been accumulating these bags and one was just bin like
stuff that was just so far gotte moss of eaten
it or whatever, Like I'm talking the dregs of my wardrobe.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
You're like, I would be embarrassed to give this to someone.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Yeah. Then I had the stuff that my sister could
go through that was like calling, you know, I would
fit out. Then I had the bag that would just
going straight to the charity win anyway. So I handed
off to my sister and she went back to the
Gold Coast because she doesn't live near me.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
And I don't hear from about it.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
And I was like really excited because I was giving
her really quality stuff. Anyway, So I bring it up
and I said to her day, did you go through
the bag?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
And she's like, yeah, I did.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
I was like, okay, did you keep anything?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Like did you like it or like you're welcome?
Speaker 7 (20:38):
She's just like.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
No, I think you would be nice. She's like no, Brittany,
it was disgusting. When I threw it out.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
I was like, well, I was like, you didn't keep
one thing nothing. She's like, no, nothing, Why would I?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
And I was so confused. I was like, there's some
of my best pieces. She was like what. It turns
out I gave her a bag of like.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
The oldest unnis that you've ever seen, Like undies that
I've worn that have holes in them, that have like
these are undies that have been through it.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I gave her stuff with moth holes in it. I
gave her the bag that was supposed.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
To go straight to the bin, not even a bag
that could go to a charity, not nothing.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
This is like you'd burn this bag, And that's what
she thought I gifted her.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
It's the bag of clothes where you know they've lived alive,
they have lived a century of life.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
I've seen some stuff, and I was mortified. So what
happened to the bag that she was meant to get?
Did you actually take that one to the salvage? So annoying? Yeah,
but that's great. There's really great subber videos.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
But I was mortified to think that I gave my
sister a bag of.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Like dirty undies.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I don't want to say it on radio, but I
was like, old use undies because I keep bundies for
like I know you do too, Laura, Oh.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Yeah, twenty years.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
I keep underwear until it no longer has an elastic,
which is coming really handy because I now my.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Butt's about twice the size it used to be and
all those houndies hit me again.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Do you like how I'm trying to whisper it, like
Australia can't hear it. If I whisper it, I was like,
I gave her a bag of dirty undies, like you're
still see it.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
I feel like this is a lesson for everyone, though.
If you're going to do a clean out, you've got
to label stuff. It seem like if you're moving house.
Because I once maybe about eight months ago, he actually
maybe a longer.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
No one cares. I had two bad time is irrelevant.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I had one bag to go to the dry cleaners
and one bag to go.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
To the Salvos. Both bags have been kicking around the
back of my car, the.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Boot, the garage like they've just been moved from different
areas because I kept on thinking I'll take it eventually.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Anyway, I mentioned to Matt, I was like, oh, there's
a bag in the back of my.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Car that needs to go the Salvos.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Didn't tell him that there was one that was supposed
to go to the dry cleaners, and everything ended up
at the Salvos.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
So that was really disappointing for me. Let's alert everyone, Yeah,
there's also some things that the owner didn't want to
part with as well. So off you go, guys, check
it out.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
So we're going to be talking about kissing your mates.
Now bear with me. The new Jurassic Park rebirth film
has just come out, so Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johanson
are the lead actors and actresses, and they are doing
the rounds at the moment for the premiere.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
You went last night, didn't you, Britt? Yeah, I did
go last night. How was it? Were they there?
Speaker 6 (22:58):
Well?
Speaker 2 (22:58):
I don't want to give any spoilers because the film
not out yet, but it was really scary. My anxiety
was high, but I get really scared in films, and
so like the anticipation of a dinosaur always going to
jump out.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Yay, it didn't.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Jimmy wonders how many Jurassic parts are there now?
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Three? Four? Don't quote me on that.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
They really give a lot of time in between over
fifteen years, like, no, seven years.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Maybe there's eight Jurassic Park from it. Eight. It's a
real fair thanks. I'm not seen away.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
No, I've seen about three of them, but I did
want to see this one because I have a crush
on Jonathan Bailey. He's my hall pass, gay or not,
he's my hall pass. But also I just thought it
would be really good with the CGI technology that they
have right now.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
I just thought it was going to be a really
good film. Anyway, that's not what we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
At all of their premieres, Scarlet and Jonathan have been
kissing on the lips, like smacking it on on the
red car.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
But and the way they greet each other, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Well, they sort of like go into an embrace, right
they hold she holds his face and he wraps his
arms around her, and they smooch.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Now not a makeout with tongue, but like.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
It's just a big smooch on the lips. And it's
for some reason causing a bit of controversy. Some people
are saying it's inappropriate because she's married, and should you
be able to make out with your friends?
Speaker 1 (24:12):
This is what Jonathan has to say. Well, another red carpet,
another kiss from Scarlet.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
You might just see the luckiest guy on the spread
carpet tonight.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Well, of course, yes, absolutely, if I mean I believe
in being able to show the love in all different ways,
and if you can't kiss your friends life's.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Too short, not too life is too short not to
kiss your friends. The question is, though, is like where's
the limit, Like, should we be kissing him on the lips.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
We'll be tongue.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I think tongue is a limit because they're only doing
it because he's gay, and I would dare say, and
she's heterosexual, so there's like no threat there.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Imagine if we came to work every day Britain and
we just kissed on the lips.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
So hello, I'd rather not imagine that.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
I definitely don't want you to imagine, or you come
to work and you kiss your heterosexual I don't know.
I'm trying to one of the boys who works in audio,
because you guys are friends.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
It's weird. It's all weird. Why are we kissing our
friends on the lips? Look, I get it's it's strange.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
I think in a way, there's nothing wrong with that, cute,
wholesome whatever your besties. One of he's gay, so like
it's trying to say that he wouldn't have any interest.
I understand that angle, but I don't understand the necessity.
Like you could also greet them and just say hello
on the cheek, and.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
I just think I'd have to ask my.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Husband Ben, but I don't think he would be thrilled
if I was like making out with my friends just
because they're gay, Like, I don't think it would matter
to him.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
He would be like, well, I don't see why you've
got to make out with him gay? My question. I
assume that would be his response. Yeah, and I look,
I mean whatever.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
They're obviously doing it because it's getting great publicity and
it's good for the publicity to all. Let's be real,
that's the only reason why they're doing it. But does
Scarlett kiss any of her girlfriends on the lips? I'd
love to know, because if there's footage of her rocking
up to every other premiere that she's done kissing a
girlfriends on the lips. And it's not because I think
there's anything going on, I absolutely don't. I just think
it's very pr able, that's all. They're both hot as
(25:58):
they have an acute smooch and it's making people feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
I didn't sign any nondisclosures. The film comes out in
a week, but I'm about to say one time in
little spoiler, it's not a spoiler, it turn it off.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
If you don't want to hear it. I'm not going
to give too much away. So some people get eaten
by dinosaurs.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I do wonder if they're leaning into their storyline because
there's definitely something going on between them and the story.
So I'm just wondering if it's like a play on
that for publicity purpose.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Well, we see this all the time, right, this is
that kind of like Sydney. Yeah, the celebrity one oh
one is like, if there's on screen chemistry, pretending or
playing out or leaning into that, off screen chemistry really
helps people get invested in the characters and the storyline.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
So it was Sydney Sweeney and Glenn.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Power in Anyone but You, and they really leant into
them having like potentially an off screen romance, which at
the time was a bit spicy.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Because she was engaged and he had a girlfriend. I reckon.
They weren't even leaning in and I reckon, They did?
You reckon? They did? Yeah, and then they had.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
To Then they said, we're just leaning in for I
wonder if these two are going to come out and
he's like, actually, I really do find Scarlet quite attractive
and now we're together.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
There you go wouldn't that be a real curve for
she's happily married. That's true. Now, Britt, there.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Is something I have to talk to you about. I
watched possibly my favorite documentary that I've seen in a
long time last night on Netflix.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Does concern me that this is your favorite documentary? Shocking?
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Yes, surprising? Yes, Stinky could not turn it off. It
is called The Poop Cruise and now it's on Netflix.
It's been made by I think the overarching series is
called train Wreck.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
This is absolutely not sponsored.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
I just cannot get over what happened in that documentary.
So if anyone who hasn't seen it yet, The Poop
Cruise is all about a carnival cruise called the Triumph.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Now there's quite a few I mean, how many years
ago was it, Producer Grace, it was twenty thirteen. It happened,
so twenty thirteen. Imagine this.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
A cruise ship goes out into the middle of the ocean.
There's a fire on board, right, and so all of
the passengers start hearing this code alpha repeated over and
over and over. And the reason why this is important
is because none of the passengers know what code alpha means.
Of course not and So apparently cruise ships have all
these different codes for different situations so that crew know
(28:14):
what's happening, but the passengers aren't alarmed.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Yeah, of course, like there's something to look at, but
we don't want you to get scared.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Yeah, so now we all know that code alpha actually
means that there's a fire on board, and that fire
ripped through the engine rooms.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
They managed to put it out, but in.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Doing so, it took out all the electricity. Now there
was no lights, there was no refrigeration, there was nothing
on this on this boat.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
How have I had to see?
Speaker 3 (28:34):
They like days, it's like literally the middle of the ocean.
But the thing that was the most problematic is that
all of the toilets also work off the electricity from
the boat, so there was no flushing toilets. Oh no,
which meant that they had to come up with a solution.
Have a listen to this.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
It was immediately crisis mood.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
The toilets were working, well, we could do a number
one in the shower, and.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I'm telling you, you got bad fash.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
I would never expect having a poop and a red bag.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Oh no, oh no, no, Suddenly everyone's out for themselves.
You could hear the panic. We were starting to smell urine.
Oh oh my god. It was terrifying. Guys.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Imagine being on a cruise ship, which I love cruising.
Imagine getting stuck in the middle of the ocean in
the dark and being given a red bag to do
a poo in.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
So that's okay if it's like, hey, if you guys
got to poof for the rest of the day.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
But how long are they stuck out there for?
Speaker 3 (29:33):
So it ended up being about three and a half
or four days that they were actually stuck out there
until what happened is these tugboats came and they collected them,
and the tugboats pulled them into the nearest port.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
The problem is is that when the.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Tugboats started pulling the ship, the ship lent sideways and
all of the contents of the toilets and everything.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Else that have been building up just sloshed over the
walls and onto the roof and it was raining down
the walls, I feel like it, and it was all
over the floor.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
So they were just waiting. I don't know why I
got to the why. It was a.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Fascinating documentary, but also I really liked this idea and
I know that some of the codes are secret.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Don't go and look them all up. We did it
for you.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
And I just want to share a few funny ones.
Cruisers have these different codes. Some of them are very
serious and some of them are really funny. There's also
a bit of a secret hidden language on cruise ships.
So have you guys heard of like the pineapple thing?
So the pineapple thing is if you're a patron on
a cruise ship and you're either wearing a pineapple paraphernalia
(30:32):
or you stick a sticker of a pineapple on your door,
it means that you're a swinger. And so apparently like
a lot of people go on these cruise ships so
that they can spot partners.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
And I know the pineapple. I have heard of the pineapple.
I know friends that have used the pineapple in fact.
Really yeah, how to go down for them? Well, what
do you do?
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Do You just knock on the door because they've got
a pineapple out the front, and you just know that
it's kind of like free entry.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
No, it's a free entry. You just come in and
out when you're coming pee in my shower.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
I also want to know if this is like specific
cruise ships that this happens on or is it just
like you can go on the Disney cruise and like
mom and Dad might have a pineapple on the door.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Well, I think it overflows into like the supermarkets when
we used to talk about the supermarket dating where they
have like bananas or pine different codes in your shopping
trolley that signal to other people if you're like available or.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Looking for stuff.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Or well, if you're ever on a cruise and you
hear code WINNI he's one to look out for. Code
winnie means that a passenger has just done a poo
in the pool, but they don't want anyone to know
about it because they can't pump a pool on a
cruise ship.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Where does the water go?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
I think you're doing a disservice to the cruise ships
here by outing their secrets.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Well, hopefully you're on a cruise that doesn't have any
of these problems. That would be a real worry.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Well, if people with pooing pools all the time, these
pools are full of kids, Like there are turds floating
in pools.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Another one was code road cone, and that means that
there's a passenger using Walkers who is moving extremely slowly.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Why would you ever need to give a call out?
Why do you need to announce that?
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Okay, another one code oscar man overboard. You probably should
know that one.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
That's really serious.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Guys, cruise ships and they're a world to their own
and no one ever wants to get stuck on the
poop cruise. But if you do want something to watch
this evening fantastic doc.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Oh okay, Well, I don't know if I'm going to
add it to my list tonight.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
I am.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
I do genuinely love cruising. It has not changed anything
for me. I would love to go back and do another.
I think we went on a p and O cruise
last year, loved it.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
If you got stuck on a poop cruise you would
feel differently. But thank you Laura for bringing that that
high recommendation.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Now, you guys might be familiar with the Reddit thread.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Am I the a whole? Yes? I am. You get
a lot of content from doing a lot of content
from that through Are you laying down now?
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Britt give her if this was a visual medium, Brittany's
actually just laid down in her chair, she'd say she's throwing.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
The rest of the show today Friday, give it Home.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Okay, we'll hear this story out. Am I the a hole.
I want everyone's opinions on this. So this woman has
been married to her husband for over twenty years and
she's been dealing with the same issue from him, which
I'm not really convinced it's an issue firstly, and secondly,
I don't know whether her retaliation to.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
This issue is justified. Well, I do love to be
judge and dura, so hit me. Okay.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
So for twenty years, this woman has been asking her
husband if he can switch the shower vut of rod
you know, so like you know, imagine you get into
a bath shower, so you're standing in the bath. You
can either have different settings on your shower head, so
either the water comes out of the shower head or
you turn the valve and the water comes out of
your bath.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
I just like it.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
That button stand a shower, yes, and so it can
switch between right. Anyways, She's been asking her husband for
years if when he finishes his shower, can he please
switch it to the bath mode so that way when
she gets in the shower and turns it on, she
doesn't get sprayed by cold water. This has been going
on back and forth. Apparently he will do it for
a couple of weeks, then he'll forget. She hates getting
blasted in the face by cold water.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
She gets upset by it.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
It's been a real point of contention in their relationship,
which makes me think that they need better things to
argue about.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
I know exactly what she's referring to. It is really
annoying when you think it's on one setting and it's not,
and it blasts you with cold w when you get
startled absolutely.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Well, you know when you get in and you're like.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Didn't expect to get sprayed in the face by cold
water in the middle of winter.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Okay, well, can I bring you my verdict? Wait, I've
already decided that you haven't even heard her retaliation.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Okay, So, after twenty years of putting up with this,
week in week out, her husband saying.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Sorry, I'll try harder, I'll be better. I'll remember this day.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
She gets in the shower, she gets sprayed in the
face by cold water. She's freezing. She gets out, she
gets a cup, she fills it with cold water. Now
her husband is also naked in the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
For some reason. It didn't go into details as to why.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
But he was naked, and she walked straight up to
him and she threw a cup of freezing cold water
in his face, and she said to him, does the.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Naked just have to do with the throw in the face.
I thought she was going to throw it somewhere.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Else, because I think if you're naked, it makes it
worse if you get a couple of water thrown at you,
because it goes down your whole body. Why are you
shaking your head at me, Grace.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
I think it would be better to be thrown the water.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Thanks, thanks, Grace, I'm so gold.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Yeah, because then no clothes get wet. Fair. Yeah, I
think you just be colder.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Imagine being naked and someone throwing cold water on your
entire body in the morning. Anyway, whatever, we're bogged down. Okay,
So she's gotten on to am I the a hole?
And her question is did she overreact or should she
just every morning that her husband now forgets, spray him.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Like you do to a dog when they do the
wrong thing. Let me pray bottle. Let me just go
to the jury. Okay, I have my verdict. Yes, she's
the a hole. I reckon. She's the ahole.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
If you're saying it's up to you to switch the
shower back when you're done, then it's equally up to
you to make sure the shower's on your setting. If
it's that much of an issue that you're asking your
partner to remember to switch it back, it's an equal issue.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
For you to remember to do it.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Like, I think for you to put that on him,
you're just angry that you forgot, that.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
You forgot to do it, Like, that's so silly to me.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
She's blaming him for something that she could easily fix.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Yeah, but then if you've forgotten something, you need someone
to blame.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
It's hard to blame yourself. I'm joking.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
I do think she's the eight hole in this situation,
even though I do like to blame my husband for
things he probably didn't do. But I think that the
reaction that she's received online is absolutely not what she expected.
I think she was expecting people to be like, yes,
get it, queer, poor thing. You'd be putting up with
this for twenty years.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
You've been startled with cold wter, and the entire internet
was like, your poor husband, he's divorcing for sure, do
you reckon one hundred percent? Imagine what she's reacting over
when she finds out he's cheating on us.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Over the weekend. Last weekend, it was my oldest daughter,
Morley May. It was her six year birthday party.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Six years. Just what it is? Six verse six? It's
her sixth year. Just she's six on the planet. Yeah,
she was six.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
We had a birthday party for her and we had
a pinata. I think the pinnadas are just like the
most staple kid's birthday party. If you need something to
do that's going to tie them over for ten minutes,
and you also want to get all these out of
your own house. You stuff a pinata, you hang it up,
and you let the kids it for a while.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
I'm a Pinarda super fan. I'm not gonna lie. You're
a Pinada super fan. Every year. I pinada once a year. Pa.
People don't know this about me. I am a secret
Pinata just by yourself or pinada. It is my family's
Christmas tradition. Since literally there's not a year. We don't
have a photo since we were like three years old.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Like our whole family, all my cousins and nannie's and
everyone pinadas every single Christmas.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
So I posted it on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
Right there was a couple of photos from the birthday
party that I put up and I posted one.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
Of my stories on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
I never realized that pinadas were controversial. I didn't know this. Well,
apparently they are. And the reason why I say this.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Is because not you, I mean sorry, people like just
have some fun, let's go home.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
No, there was quite a few people in my dms
who firstly, the question was raised.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Around the violence of pinadas. There was also questions about
you're trying to get a lolly. You're getting a lolly.
I'm sorry, I can't even I'm gonna go home. My
flavate listener is okay, let me explain to you.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
And when it was raised, firstly, I did read one
of these comments that was sent to me and I
was a bit like, oh, I see your point, but
I think it's a stretch. So we always talk to
our kids about not being violent, right about like never
hit things, don't hit people, don't throw your toys, like
behave in a way that's showing kindness, I guess, And
that's the thing that you always try and uphold with
(38:24):
your children. And then at birthday parties or once a year. Apparently,
if you're Brittany Hockley, you get your kid's favorite thing, Like,
what's their most favorite thing in the entire world world
A unicorn. Let's stuff it, Let's fist it with lollies,
and then give it a noose and hang it up
by the neck and get all the kids.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
In the line.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Just smack it with a pole. Now, this this person,
so I know, I know, I know, and I agree
with you. I was like, guys, I think that we've
gone too far. The PC police need to calm down. However,
someone then sent to me that there are a type
of pinnata called no hit pinada. So it's a pinada
that's been specifically designed.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
For parents who want to have no violence. It's not violent,
wait for it.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
And it comes with all these strings in the belly
and so it's kind of like a lucky dip. So
it's got all these different strings that hang down from it,
and the little kids go and they pull a string
and then that one didn't do anything.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Another pull a string.
Speaker 3 (39:22):
That one didn't do anything, And if you get the
right string, you go boom, and then the belly of
the unicorn opens up and all the lollies rain.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Down and the kids downing underneath fun does no kid
wants to pull a string.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Guys, I'm all for being progressive, but this is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Like, just okay, hear me out. You don't have to
have a unicorn.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
Why don't you get a criminal a pinada in the
shape of a house and call it renovation.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Teach your kids young, we're knocking the house down, We're
gonna rebuild. It's an episode of the block. It's not violent.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
You're literally trying to have fun to It's like like
playing baseball.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
You swinging a bat. We're gonna not play baseball.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
Like, what's the problem here, Stop taking away all the
fun from the kids.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
Okay, well you heard it here first, Britney's against it.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
I'm not giving I can see that, and no one,
no one's ever gonna ask you to.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
I will never ever give you a no hit pinada.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
I can't even believe they exist. Look, and I'm on
your side with this. I got the messages and I.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Was like, surely now you'll be shocked at how extreme
we are with our pinada.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
We noy's got a pinata tattoo. No wait, to hear this.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
We've always had multiple pinadas. We make them, and we
make them at different levels. My grandpa are used to
make them so hard that the adults would have like
baseball bats that couldn't crack them, because he thought it
was hilarious to make it out of like proper cement
and stuff. So we would have like easy pinadas for
the little kids, would have different levels. To ensure that
(40:47):
everyone at our Christmas party got a pinada, we built
Pulley systems. They're on Pulley systems over the poles and
stuff like we take pinata ing.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
So seriously, I didn't realize that this was Yeah, so
I'm pro priata.
Speaker 2 (40:59):
Don't know that I was going up against someone who
was a fully invested pinada person.
Speaker 1 (41:03):
He was one of my best friends, Laura.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Anyways, Oh guys, that's it from USCO and enjoy your
pinadas on the weekend.
