Speaker 1 (00:00):
This episode was recorded on cameraragle Land. Hi, guys, welcome
back to another episode of Life I Cut. I'm Laura,
I'm Brittany, and this is the Pickup, our radio show
where we package up all the best bits of the
week and we put them here for you to listen to.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
It is no I know what you're going to say.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Britt has been We've been sitting here for stop shipe.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
You've been perving on me. You have been making me
feel uncomfortable and making inappropriate advances towards my feet this
whole time.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Guys, Britt has been sitting here for the last ten
minutes stroking the camera tripod with her toes. She fondling
the camera tripod like wedging her big toe and her
second toe, wrapping it around the leg. And I don't
know what's been going on.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
It's really soft, you know, away it's phallic shaped. Yeah,
it just makes comforting.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Actually is he? Our video producer of the Pickup is
looking at that like you just spoke about how nice
my feet are.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
You said, I have beautifully soft, clean feet, So what
is the problem.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Well, I mean not everyone's a foot person, are they.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Well they will be after the same line.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Guy, Okay, we did have a great show this week actually,
and then we're taking a week off holidays, which is
fucking amazing. But this week, okay, you all know Orlando Bloom,
Katie Perry Splitze's Donzo Splits film, and it's very sad because,
you know, as much as poor Katie Perry's been getting
a little flak lately, I really liked them as a couple.
I thought that they were solid.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
They've been together nine years, which shocked me. I never
understood it as a couple. You know, when like and
when I say that I don't know them, But Hollywood couples,
when people get together, sometimes you're like yes, and sometimes
you're like, I don't get it. I never got them.
I never thought it would last. I thought it was
a bit of a pr thing interesting.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I really did think it would love. I thought they
were an unusual couple. But I really liked them as
a couple.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I think he really liked her until she went to space.
I think she went to space and changed thing.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Well.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Look, it turns out that not even celebrities are immune
to the sad breakup posts that often follow after you've
split with someone. And you, guys, know if you've listened
to like if you're an og lifer, you will absolutely
know that when I was back in my twenties, I
used to love what I thought was a cryptic post
to put, like a quote, something that felt deep and meaningful.
(02:09):
We unpacked it on the show. But what I haven't
actually shared before on the podcast, and is deeply humiliating
because we spoke about it lab on National Radio, is
that I actually used to have an Instagram where I
used to post things that I personally wrote, not just
not just quotes that I found that I thought related
to my life.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
It was a quotes page.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I would go through a bad breakup and I would
write new things and did God I shared some of
them with you all, and it's truly embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I do want to how to regret you're gonna have?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Do I have regret? No? Not yet. Will I have
regret possibly, Let's just see how this pans out.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
It's to be fair, it was of its time. It
was the time when people were doing quotes. I did it.
I wanted to be a writer. I wrote some stuff,
had a fake name.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I did what it felt like. It felt like reading
back through like a diary that you had when you
were in your early twenties or when you're like fifteen sixteen.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
And when you at the time frequent yours like you
in these quotes like once a week.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
And the thing is is like, at the time, you
feel like it's poignant. You feel like you're never gonna
feel this much hurt or pain or suffering or like
depth to your emotions again, and then when you read
it back, you're almost embarrassed about the person that you
once were.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
So Laura reads them out and they're so bad that
Izzy a video produce over here after it like off record,
she goes, oh, how old were you?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Cute?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Laura goes twenty seven?
Speaker 2 (03:26):
She was like what, She goes, I'm that age. I
would never I think I was twenty five.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Anyway, everyone go fuck off.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
No, we did the math were you were not? You
were not?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Oh what did you do this week?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Britt not a lot. No, I did think this was interesting.
The TikTok sensation, The trid wife sensation. Nara Smith. She's
married to Lucky. She's got a few kids with unusual
names like Honeybee or something like that. Twinkle.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
The names that she has chosen for her children yeah,
are diabolical.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Well, they're interesting, like we're not hit to yuck anyone's young,
but they are in the interesting category. But she's going
viral at the moment for what she's potentially going to
call her fourth baby. She is pregnant, and she has
released a list of names that are like on the list,
some of them have made the cut, some of them
have been cut. And I just think they are so funny.
And I want to get your opinion, Laura, because you
(04:16):
are also about to have a baby.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
We've gone too far, that's my opinion. Look, she's gone
too far. We'll play them all for you, love your thoughts.
They're truly objectively terrible names. But can I tell you one?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Butter?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Butter like butter? Yeah, anyway, but I like butter In
case you guys were confused, bu double tea.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Anyway, guys, let's get into it, Laura, I really thought
this is going to tickle your fancy. Okay, you are
in the throes of your pregnancy. You are so deep
you were almost about to pop that thing out number three.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
No, I've got a few more weeks, twelve weeks it
pops out. Now that's a bit of a problem.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Well, I wanted to help you out with baby names,
just in case you were like on the edge of
maybe thinking of a new name. There's an influencer online
Nara Smith now yes trad wife Queen. She's the face
of trad Wife's. She has upwards of twelve million follows
on TikTok like. She's a very big character online.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I don't know if you haven't seen her. She does
these cooking videos. She does lots of different types of videos,
but she's the most unrelatable trad wife content creator I've
ever seen. She's like, and then I picked the butter
from the freshly milled goat milk. You're like, what are
you even saying?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
You don't pick butter?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
I don't know. She whipped it. Like anyways, con say
really good. I love listening to her.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
I love her voice. I want to say that, like,
we can pay her out as much as we want.
But that is also her thing, Like her thing is
to be really over the top dress. While she's soothingly
speaking and creating things from.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Scratch, I would say that her market and her thing
is being unrelatable. That is, she leans hard into unrelatability,
which is a territory most people would try and lean
away from. She's leaned as far into it as she can.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
She does it brilliantly to be fair. Now she's married
to her husband, whose name is Lucky, and she already
has kids. Now her kid's name. She has three children.
Her kids are Rumble Honey, Slim Easy. It's not sorry,
Rumble Honey's four, Slim Easy is three, Slim Easy is
actually the full name of that child, and Whimsy Loo
(06:12):
is the third one. I think it's a girl is
fourteen Yeah Lou, whmsy Lou. It could be either fourteen months.
So she is trying to decide on her fourth baby name,
and she's come out on TikTok and listed the names
that haven't quite made the cut that her and a
husband couldn't agree with, but she tried. Now have listened
to these, Okay.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Starting off with some boy names. I love the name
Moss Goodie Sunday but spell like the actual Sunday girl names.
I love the name Twinkle Velvet Button is so cute
to me. I love the name Apple won't be using
because it's been used before.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Another name that I love that Lucky does not like
at all.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
So it didn't even make it into our list as butter.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
But it's getting harder to name children for me.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Sorry, sorry, you can't name your child butter. I was
joking about the goats earlier, but you can't name your
kid that.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Because butter is also her thing, Like she needs a
lot of butter and makes it and whips it all
from scratch, so like that's her thing. But I can't
tell this part of me there's hoping that this is satirical,
but I don't think it is.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
No, that's the problem is twinkle.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
But if you're high on Twinkle, what, I just think.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
That you're really putting your kids into a category of
what they can do when they're older. Like you're never
going to meet a lawyer whose name is Twinkle, are you.
No one's taking that seriously, And actually there's been research
study on that. Don't quote me where it came from,
but the names that you give your kids have a
determining factor on how they're treated by other people, and
it influences what they end up doing in their careers.
So if you're going to name your kids Sparkle, Cupcake,
(07:38):
they're probably not going to be set up in life
to be the type of person that's going to be
able to move into a career that's particularly ambitious. I mean, look,
it's probably a bit subjective. I hate they're terrible names,
objectively terrible names.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
There were some others, Shimmer, stop it, very dare. The
only one that I'm gonna let slide is Merit because
that's a real name.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Marriage Ferret. Sorry, but I've got.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Me thinking what names of you like? Are there names
that you and Matt or one of you loved but
the other one couldn't get around.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I think I have chosen all of our kids' names
so far. I think I even chose I mean, we're
calling this baby Poppy. It's no secret my husband outed
that on a podcast recently. And I have this app right.
It's a kind of like baby named Tinder. So the
way it works is like you download the app, your
partner downloads the app, and then you swipe like thousands
of baby names, and it populates a list where you
(08:30):
both agreed on names that you've swiped right to or
left to.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Very clever.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I've tried to get Matt to do this for the
last two children and also for this one, and I
do the swiping and he has never downloaded it. So
I'm just playing Tinder on my own with baby names.
But I've got a few. I'll read out the ones
that didn't make the cut. Yeah, Matt, poop poot a
lot of these. Milo was one. I love Milo. That
was on my list, actually, Milo Bennett, Theodore Hudson, Finn Charlie, Remy,
(08:54):
Chase Cash, Teddy Parker. There's ressh Cash is a person
who goes out and shoots pigs.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Rory Logan, Sorry to any Cashes out there.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
It's very American. Cash is very American Logan. But Matt
grew up near Logan in Queensland, so he was like,
it's too Logans in my place, my little couzy Western Grayson, Western,
Emory Grayson, I dated.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I couldn't do that. I did beg a Grayson.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
He was hot though, he was a very good I
have a theory.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
It was the last one.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Emory.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
No.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I like Emory, Yeah, except it's a bit too much
like Memory.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
And also like a what's it called at the board,
Emory board?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah, a male nail file. My it's very said. We
also chose Pormus, but it didn't make it in there.
Pought you were serious. I was like, no, alright, let's
I also really think that regardless of what name you
go with, if you choose a name, I have learned
(09:52):
the hard way as of this baby, don't tell people
because we've chosen the middle name for this for our
little girl that we're about to have, and her middle
name also starts with P, so it's Pep.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
And Poppy from us Poppy Promus.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Some people have told us what they really think about it.
What if she's gonna be just called peepe I'm gonna
get full out of school character building. Hey do you peep?
Like that's what they're going to do. It's good, it's
good for.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
There's a new trend that's been happening online. We've been
seeing it popping up with celebrities and we're talking about
cosmetic surgery. Now, it's not to do with actually getting
the cosmetic surgery, because we all know celebrities have been
doing that for a very long time. It is around
transparency when it comes to cosmetic procedures or cosmetic surgery.
You guys might remember recently Chris Jenna, she had a
(10:40):
facelift and she came out and said, I mean.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
She couldn't deny it was pretty damn obvious, and she
looks younger than at orders.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Yes, so she came out and said, well, I have.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Been drinking lots of lemon tea.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
She's like, I've been getting botox and doing some really
great glycolic pills. No, she was honest about it and
said that she'd had a facelift. This kind of sparked
a bit of a movement among celebrities because more recently
we've been seeing Chloe Kadashian. She came out and she
opened up about getting ryna plasty, botox, and fillers. Megan
Fox has come out and said that she had procedures
(11:11):
done on her boobs. She's Kylei Jenna, Kylie Jenner. I
think the reason why these celebrities are coming out is
because the response to Chris Jenna's transparency was so overwhelmingly
positive that I think other celebrities are now jumping on
that bandwagon and kind of trying to be like, well,
I'm going to have to admit to it at some point,
so I might as well start this, you know, and
get on the front foot of this. Anyway.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I think it's also because, for example, the leaders in
this conversation at the moment, are the Jenna's like Klou Katashian,
Chris Jenna, Kylie Jenna. They're all coming out and talking
about it. And I think the first reason is Kim
and Chloe and all the girls are getting into their forties.
You can't lie about the way you look forever because
it's obvious that we are going to age. But two,
I think a lot of them it's quite selective with
(11:54):
what they're talking about. I think it's to distract from
other things, Like they're not going to say everything, but
if you just a little bit, people might lay off
you a little bit and not expect you to have
had the other things that you don't.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Want to talk totally.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Well.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Also, I mean if you've seen recently Instella bech Judd
came out and was talking about different procedures she has had.
Now Famously, bech Judd has kind of always of said, no,
I'm fully natural everything. This is just how I wake
up in the morning. And the reality is it's like
cosmetic procedures, surgical procedures, they're becoming more and more common.
They're becoming like far less stigmatized. People are talking about
(12:28):
them a lot more but this, I think is where
it does become a little bit problematic, because it is
so evident that there is only about fifty percent transparency.
It's like, oh, I'll tell you about the surgeries that
we're okay with. I'll tell you I've got a nose job,
I'll tell you I've got my boobs done. But I'm
not going to tell you about the BBL and this
and this and this, And I think that they exactly
(12:48):
what you said, Britt, You think you nailed it. The
selectiveness around the surgeries is firstly a real issue, and
secondly I kind of think it's a problem when someone
just goes everyone, I got to know his job, Look
how great it looks. I want to see the process.
I want to know how gory and gross and awful
it was, because I don't want to just see positive,
happy outcomes. We all know that like to get and
(13:11):
to have major surgery, it's incredibly painful. There's a huge process,
there's a massive cost debt, and these celebrities are able
to afford the best surgeons, whereas the rest of us
are flying to Turkey. Goddamn it, you know who does it?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
In Australia has always been really honest is Sky Wheatley.
She's an influencer. We saw a year's music.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
On Big Brother. But the cat eyes done with you. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
She talks about everything, and she posts it when she's
there and she posts it when she's getting it. She's
really honest with the feedback, and she's always been really,
really honest with it, which I think is really really great.
But it's funny because I don't know if you saw
the recent interview. Everyone's been talking about Lindsay Lohan recently,
give me a Lindsay Lohan surgeon. Tell me what she's
had done, because all of a sudden, she sort of
like disappeared for a while, came back looking incredible. It's
(13:56):
obvious she's had something done. No one cares, They just
want to know. And she did an interview like just
a couple of weeks ago where she said it was
just down to like she said, I have lemon water
in the morning and I have been doing some lasers,
and everyone's like, that's not lemon water. Like I could
drown my face in lemon water every day and it's
not going to do that.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
It's the same as Paris Hilton saying that she's never
had botox, but never there any procedures whilst saying it
her face is completely paralyzed. The thing is, we don't
have a tolerance for it anymore. We do call bullshit
when people say, oh I haven't done anything, this is
just me naturally. So I do think there's been pressure
for celebrities to be a little bit more honest. I
want to see the process. I want way more transparency
(14:34):
around how like just awful it is to go and
have these procedures done, because I think that that might
be a bit of the antidote to deter especially young girls,
from wanting to go and get major cosmetic surgery where
it's just incredibly painful and stuff can go wrong and
we know it does.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Yeah, I reckon, just spit it out. Just tell us
what you've had done, and tell us where you go
and tell us. Look Australia's sweetheart Robert Irwin. I don't
think he's got a bad bone in his body. I
don't think there's anyone that can dislike him. He's an
absolute superstar. He's gone over to a merry car recently.
He's on Dancing with the Stars over there. Somehow he
(15:13):
has gone up astronomically to eight million followers on Instagram.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Like for Australia shrine for Robert Irwin, what are we here?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Well, I'm setting him up before I threw him under
a bus. But no, he recently did a dine and
dash like where you eat and then run away and
don't pay snow bomb. Yeah, he smoke bombed. Have listened
to what he said.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Found a great restaurant, ordered to take away salad, and
there was a lot of people who you know, saw
me and said good a and wanted to have a
photo and all that, which is which is all good.
But it turned into a bit of a bit of
a frenzy. It was a little bit of a flurry
there for a minute. They got the salad super fast.
She is thanks so much to have a good night,
see you later. And then the next morning I wake
(15:53):
up and realize I never paid for my salad.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I just did the.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Old din and dash and I didn't even realize I'd
done it. I felt terrible.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Poor Robert Irwin. He's getting mobbed for a salad and
then he has to do a public apology.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Sorry, this is brilliant on behalf of this. Cops Harbor restaurant.
He's in cops. This is brilliant because he's just advertised
them one salad probably what seventeen bucks eight million followers.
That probably cost forty thousand dollars of advertising if someone
was to pay Robert away.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah, you would want to go to the place that
Robert gets his salads from, wouldn't you. He's recommending it,
You're going to go visit.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Have you ever dined and dashed?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I feel like everyone's kind of accidentally walked away and
then realized and like, you know there, someone's chased them
out of the restaurant. You're like, oh, sorry, Never dine
and dash though, that I can remember. But I have
definitely been in the shops when my kids have picked
up something and put it either in their pocket, in
the trolley, in the press and they have shoplifted. Yeah,
so my kids are shoplifted station. No one called the police,
(16:51):
So they've definitely done that before. Like we've accudally stolen
a pack of tiny teddies.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
It actually happened to me two weeks ago. I happened
to me Dyna Dash. Oh well, let me just tell
you very similar to Robert Iran. I was being mobbed
out of the front night, wasn't I I was. I
was at a restaurant up on the Gold Coast and
with there were six of us in total. They sat
us right out the front on the thoroughfare, and I know,
(17:15):
I'm joking. There were a few people that recognized this
and said hello, but I was definitely not being mobbed. Anyway.
We paid, went to leave, had to walk past everyone
out of the front. It was a packed restaurant, was
on a weekend, and we walked set out goodbyes when
walking up the street, and then the waitress comes running
up the street in front of everyone, like yelling out
to stop us like we hadn't paid, and was literally
(17:37):
saying that out loud, like you haven't paid, excuse me.
And I was mortified because I thought, I know I
have paid. I literally just paid. But she yelled this out.
Everyone in the restaurant thinks I'm doing a dining dash. Anyway,
she caught up to us up the street and I
went onto my bank and I was like, we just paid.
I went onto my bank and showed her and she's like,
oh my god, my mistake. And I was like, well,
too late. I was like, because now everyone thinks I've
(17:57):
dined and dash.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I would have thought it would have been a situation where
you car was declined. That's always awkward, you know.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
It's just I don't know what happened. I was like,
look it's gone through, and she's like, oh, I'm so sorry,
my mistake. I done.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I have a funny one for you, you know, justin
hem's obviously very wealthy, very very The man's got a
lot of money. We all know what it's in every newspaper.
I was standing in at a Sigi place and he
was in front of me and he was paying for
an a Saigi bolt like dolls fifty card declined and
I was like, God, that's awkward, poor guy. But then
I realized it was because he was paying with the
black Amex and they just didn't accept it. So I
was I'm sure the guy was fine. You guys might
(18:32):
know Orlando Bloom, Katie Perry done dust, dumb space dust.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Some might say, some might not. I reckon, you got
the ick from the whole space there.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Well that's what people are saying, So okay. If you
haven't heard, they do have a little baby together or
a kid together. They've recently split days. Daisy now they've
broken up, and since the breakup, I mean, lots of
people have been speculating around the reasons why. But one
thing we don't need to speculate about is the fact
that Orlando Blue has been using his social media in
a little bit of an interesting way. And I don't
(19:04):
know if anyone else can relate to this, but when
you go through a bad breakup, often your social media
will reflect what's happening in your personal lives. Like maybe
you start posting inspirational quotes or the geeks. Yeah, I
do have it. I've got a bit of skin in
the game. But I wanted to read out some of
the things that he has been posting thus far on
his Instagram. Loneliness does not come from having no people
(19:27):
about one, but from being unable to communicate the things
that seem important to oneself.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Okay, question, I've read it a few times. I don't
understand if he's trying to say that he's lonely because
she was making him lonely, or if he was trying
to say the other way around, or who now da,
I don't know. It's so like into oneself thy loneliness
THI that I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Well, this is the thing about cryptic posts, right, everyone
else never knows the true meaning. Only the person that
it's been written for actually knows the true meaning. Around
the weird cryptic Instagram messaging, here's another one. Each day
is a new beginning. What we do today is what
matters most, you know what.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I think it's okay. I think it's okay. He's just
showing that he's expressing himself his feelings. It doesn't matter
that he's a superstar. He feels loneliness as well.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Absolutely, I used to do this, right. I'd go through
a bad breakup in my twenties, and I thought that
it was like just like really obscure and deep to
post quotes that so that either related to what I
was going through, or I posted them knowing that the
person I was dating was going to see them and
they would get like an inside little knowledge into what
(20:39):
it was that I was experiencing.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah, like I'm talking directly to you and it's a
language that we can only hear. We did make Laura
go back through and find some of these posts.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Yeah, So the problem is is that I actually went
one step further than that. I created an Instagram page.
When I was in my twenties. Not only did I
used to like screenshot random quotes that I'd found on
the internet. When I was really in the depths of
despair of a breakup, I would write little muse things,
I would call them, and I would post them on
the Internet where people can actually see them. And there
is still a paper trailer of this today. And I
(21:09):
will never You could talk to me to death, and
I will never tell you the name of that Instagram page.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
So it wasn't under your name. It was a fake name.
It was a fake name. Okay, I know you feel uncomfortable.
I also, by default feel vistory uncomfortable for you.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
You have to read one out. Okay, here's one dated
the twentieth of the ten fourteenth. Okay, twenty fourteenth, Sorry,
eleven years. Never overlook the beauty, bravery, and simplicity of
the word. No great, simple, Please make it stop already
simple and to the point. Here's another one. This was
(21:43):
October twenty fourteen. It was a bad year, bad breakup
in every situation in life.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
This is only a couple of months after.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
What I It's the same breakup, God damn it. In
every situation in life. If you ever have to ask
yourself the question, am I settling? The answer is yes.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I want to curl into a ball this one.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Wait, hold on October. It was a bad month. There
are millions of things in life that you will have
absolutely no control over. Your own happiness is not one
of them. God, she's deep.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I'm gonna let that one fly. Okay, give me another one, though,
Oh I can't. Can I read one?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Can I read one?
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Give me the page?
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I'm all right? God, this one really just put a
knife in me and put me to sleep. Give me
the green dream. Maybe one day, Oh stop, no, no,
may still remember the boy. It was not worth all
of this torment. Maybe one day the two of you
will collide, and for the first time, you will understand
what it is to be fully and wholly known. You
(22:47):
will be known from your darkest corners to the brightest light,
and moments in their presence, no matter how fleeting, will
be calm, full of laughter and rambling conversations, full of
what And isn't that what we spend our lives searching for?
To be known? Holy? Right down twelve, very soul. I
(23:12):
feel sick. I feel unwell. Orlando Bloom. Don't worry. You
don't even touch the sides. Laura Burn was there first.
I see you, I feel you, I hear you. Orlando
love Laura. Oh then I met my husband on a
reality TV.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Show and you've never been You've never been more known.
He knew you along with thirty other women.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
All right, change your pace? Can we revisit this? Can
we make this like aneically diary read or there's so
many of them perfect, that's perfect for us. They're the
palatable ones. They get worse.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Okay, hang around next week. I'm going to be reading
whatever one I choose of yours. You're gonna give me
your phone and I'm going to read whatever I feel
tickles my fence the more I scroll.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
September was was definitely worse in October. So we can
deep dive September next time.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Everyone knows Fast and the Furious, right, Paul Walker and
Vin Diesel. Now, the reason we're talking about it today
is because Laura and I are having discussed it in
the past week or two. They want to do the
twelfth and final film in the franchise.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
I think it's the eleventh, but like who's counting by now?
Speaker 2 (24:15):
So many but they want to do it by bringing
back Paul Walker. So Paul Walker died in twenty thirteen,
which was tragic, but they want to put him in
the entire movie like he's a living actor.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Yeah, we talked about this last week. There was a
lot of moral conundrums around this because Paul Walker's daughter
and his brothers and that are okay with it. But
the question that we were talking about is, well, who
owns someone's image? Who owns someone's face, their mannerisms, the
way they speak, the sound of their voice.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
So Denmark is at the forefront of some new legislation
and what they're saying is basically AI generated deep fakes
are now under a copyright law and every single person
should be in charge of the way they look and
the way they are presented and their voice. And no
one else has really done this before.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Yeah, I guess it's all around. Every single person has
the right to own their own face in Australia, though
there are laws. If someone's making explicit material through deep fakes,
that is against the law completely. But I do think
that there is a bit of a gray area with
other types of deep fakes. The reason why I think
that this is crazy, genuinely is because obviously, I think
(25:19):
when you talk about things like deep fakes or AI,
we often talk about celebrities. I mean, we've got a
very funny photo of the Pope wearing a puffer jacket,
which we all thought was the Pope, but you know,
apparently it's not. He actually looks good in it. Though
he looks li I was like, that is a cool pope.
Turns out even producer Grace was fulled and thought it
was but no one's an AI image. I kind of
question it when it comes to celebrities because I think
(25:40):
we're all starting to become a little bit more aware
that obviously celebrities are victims of deep fakes and AI.
But literally last night at dinner, one of my good friends, Falcon,
came over and he was showing me a photo. He
was like, speaking of AI. Look at how cool this is,
And it was a photo of him and his really
good girlfriend. Obviously she was consenting to this, but they
were like mucking around with how to make AI work
(26:03):
and in some app that they have. Basically he'd uploaded
a photo of himself and her standing next to each other.
They just had their arm around each other. And the
AI app that he'd used had made them go from
standing next to each other, it had turned the photo
into a video, and they'd made out with each other.
It was so convincing that I honestly I had to
see the app to believe that it actually wasn't created
(26:24):
from a photo. I thought genuinely he'd just kissed his friend.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I wonder if celebrities might use this to their advantage.
Like I no one's saying it's really detrimental, but I
wonder if a celemb gets done like doing drugs or
something that now it's so real you can just say, oh,
that's not me. Someone has aied that, like, surely you
can use it.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
To attend in the reverse. But I also think about
it more from like, you know, if someone can create
a picture of them making out with their friends so
easily turn it into a video, imagine like a jilted
X what they could do with a photo. Or imagine
someone who has like a real vendetta against someone at
work and turning AI against them in a workplace. This
(27:04):
is such a new area, and I do think in
the next few years we are going to see some
real creative and also potentially really venomous or vindictive ways
that AI has used. People could lose their jobs, they
could potentially be seen as though they're cheating in relationships
when they're never ever, ever cheated. I just think like
the advances have moved forward so quickly in AI, but
(27:26):
the legislation and policy never catches up to technology as quickly,
and so there's a little bit of a gray area
at the moment, the whole thing, but it's so fascinating.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
There's a couple Laura online at the moment going viral
for the funniest story. So this couple's friend, like his
college friend. They were catching up and he'd just gotten
engaged and he was talking about his wedding to them.
He said, I'm getting married next year. It's going to
be like so small and intimate and special. And that
was the conversation, just like a really private conversation. The
(27:58):
couple then received a save the day for the following year,
and it was international. It was like over in Argentina.
So they do what most people would do for an
international wedding, and they lock in the flights and the accommodation,
and you know, it was fifteen hundred dollars flights three
thousand dollars of accommodation.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Also, yeah, when it's an international wedding, they'll say, the
dates are way more important because you've got to actually
block out time for work, and you've got to book
the flights on a decent amount of money and blah
blah blah.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Oh he had to be so organized. So they organized
the whole thing because they've been friends forever and they've
got to save the date. And he told them to
their face, you know, small intimate wedding. So they book
the same hotel as the groom and bride and the
bridal party because they thought that would be easier. So
all the family and everywhere at this one hotel. So
they booked. That time goes past and they haven't received
(28:43):
any updates, and it's like a couple of days before
they're flying out and they're still looking for updates. Then
that's when it clicks to them. They're like, hang on,
we actually never got an invite. They turned up to
the wedding uninvited. So they no, well, okay, this is
where it gets it.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
They actually go to the web, they just go on holiday.
They stand up to the hotel.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
They can't change it. They're locked in. They don't want
to waste their money and not go, but they're too
embarrassed to tell them what happened. So they go to
the wedding and then just find out their schedule and
just do everything around their schedule. So they're like spies
hiding at the wedding. Like so when they see them
go to the pool, they would go and book a spa.
When they see them going to get massages, they would
go out for the day and get whatever it is.
(29:24):
And they avoided the whole bridal party.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
So they never knew that they were there. Imagine finding
out that two of your best friends were at the
same hotel where your wedding was being held. Surely because
you sent them a save the date and then uninvited.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
But I do you know what, I can see how
that happens. I think if you've sent a save the date,
that is as good as an invitation. If you're uninviting someone,
you need to uninvite them. You can't just not follow
through with an invitation and think that that's good enough, right, right, Laura?
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Did you do this not to this note because we
didn't have a destination wedding also, but did yourself. Yes, technically,
but on a technicality slightly different. So my husband and
I we were originally going to get married towards the
start of COVID, and then COVID hit and everything kind
of went a bit screw loose. So we sent out
save the dates to our family and friends, and then
(30:17):
the date changed because you know, COVID hit, and we
decided to postpone it. So we actually didn't get married
for two and a half years after our original wedding
date that was set, or two years or something like that.
That's a long time, a long time, a long time.
So we'd sent out save the dates. Then our second
wedding day, we also then sent out saying, oh, that
date's been changed, like hold tight, we'll have more details
(30:38):
for you. Two years later, there were some people who
we sent save the dates to on that original mailing list,
and let me tell you, we had not heard from them.
I had not heard from them, neither had Matt. We'd
barely spoken to them in that time, and so I
kind of just assumed, if we haven't spoken in two years,
surely they don't expect to get another save the date.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
So you didn't uninvite them. I just didn't send another
save the date. I just didn't tell them when the
new wedding was. But did they contact you in any capacity?
Speaker 1 (31:04):
One person did?
Speaker 4 (31:06):
One?
Speaker 1 (31:06):
One of them said, hey, honey, I haven't received the
invitation yet.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
What did you say? Do you fake it or say
because you're not invited? I then invited them under duress.
What else are you just going to do?
Speaker 1 (31:19):
So a bad that actually didn't come. Oh, they didn't
come because they've probably heard you say I'm panicing. No, no, no, no.
I think it was because by then, like the wedding
was actually just a couple of weeks away, like it
was very evident. It was just so awkward looking back now,
it was so awkward. I didn't know what to do.
I didn't want to write them and say, hey, I
have not heard from you for two years and I've
had a baby and you just kind of vanished from
my life. So I didn't think you'd want to come
(31:41):
to my wedding. I didn't want to send that. There
was a bit of passive aggressiveness loaded into that. So
instead I just sent them an invite and said so sorry, honey,
if you haven't received it.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
You can read between the lines if you're getting an
invitation three weeks out of a wedding, you're like the
last person on the list.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Something's gone wrong. Don't get me wrong, though, I don't
think it's a smart move. If you've sent out saved
the date, don't be a coward like I am. At
least tell people if they're not invited to the real wedding,
especially if they're trying to go to an overseas wedding.
I would love to know. Do you share an office
or a communal kitchen space where you've got to put
your lunch in a shared fridge? And if so, is
(32:17):
there some fridge politics that goes on in your workplace,
Because there'd been.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
No workplace without fridge politics.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
And I know what happens, right, you put your little
yoga in there, your little yogurt satchel. Someone comes up
and takes it, and then it's lunchtime and you're looking
around you can't find your yogurt. We used to have
a kitchen thief here. We used to have someone who
would always go in and steal things from the fridge.
I think even while though things could be perfectly labeled
with a name, it could be your lunch so you
brought in that your mum had made you in the mornings,
(32:44):
packed you perfectly in a brown paper bag. You'd go
there to go and get it and half it would
be eaten. I think most officers have one of these
people who feel like it's okay to help themselves to
other people's lunches. And there is a man who has
been speaking about this online. Now. He had his lunch
stolen five times at his work. Imagine bringing a pack
slash shitty. It's absolutely bizarre, Okay.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Because also if it's a good lunch, you think about
it all day and passed and you open it up
and some gorn Yeah, some colleagues has helped himself to
half a serve.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
So five times he had his lunch stolen. And then
he decided that instead of like you know, enacting revenge,
instead of having like you know, making a big deal
about it, he just brought in a little, a little
tiny minifridge that he put under his desk and he
started putting his lunch into his own minifridge where no
one could access. And unfortunately that had him labeled as
the office wirdo because he was so protective over his
(33:34):
own lunch. But this is the drastic measures that he
had to take.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
It's not that drastic. I'm definitely team him.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
I was.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
I thought you're going to say he got stolen out
of his minifridge, you might have to lock that well.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Since then, he's had no more stolen.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Lunches, do you know I this is so disgusting. I
haven't thought about this in years. I was working in
a hospital, won't say where, and there was somebody that
worked there that was convinced people was taking his lunch.
But I don't know why, because no one, for all
accounts that we can remember, no one took his lunch.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Right.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
He was so paranoy that someone would take his lunch
that he would bring in a dead rat.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
No, that's not real. I saw it. It was my work.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
He put a dead rat on top of his lunch
box to deter people from wanting to open it. And
let me tell you, not only did it deter people,
he got fired. It's like that's an olag iness thing.
You can't put a dead animal.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Was he working in like a lab or something like
a science lab? So he had access to dead rats?
Because like I don't know, where's someone who works in
the hospital finding a dead rat to put on their lunch.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
She brought it from home. I'm not kidding. I wish
I was kidding. I'm actually not. And he was obviously
not well and he got we didn't get made redundant.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
We've heard some from safety. I just it's just such
a tall tale that I feel like that person's gone
too far. Here we are talking about a mini bar,
and you're like, I've can one up that story. I
did tell you brought a dead rat in.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Yeah, I did tell you it was bad, And I
wish I was lying, but I wasn't. I reckon. There's
a lot of stories, probably not to that level. There's
a lot of crazy lunch stories, for sure.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
When I used to work as a graphic designer many
many moons ago, we had the same thing communal fridge,
and one of the girls I worked with always brought
in boiled eggs. Like she would bring boiled eggs in
and put them in the top of the fridge compartment, like,
because no one's bringing in raw eggs to an office fridge, right,
And so someone kept on stealing and helping themselves to
her boiled eggs. So she'd go there, there'd be three
the next day there'd be one. Anyway, she decided to
(35:23):
bring in a couple non boiled eggs, just like fresh
eggs and put them in the boiled egg little compartment,
and she soon found out who the person was that
was stealing the eggs because they were taking them to
their desk, cracking them, and then doing it in their bin.
So like anyway, they took a fresh egg to their
desk and cracked it on table, and everyone knew who
the culprit was.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Let us know if you have a story that can
one up either the rat or that.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Well, I feel like the rat one. No one's going
to be able to what up Brit because that's just psychotic.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
I also hope no one can one up that the
boat
This episode was recorded on cameraragle Land. Hi, guys, welcome
back to another episode of Life I Cut. I'm Laura,
I'm Brittany, and this is the Pickup, our radio show
where we package up all the best bits of the
week and we put them here for you to listen to.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
It is no I know what you're going to say.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Britt has been We've been sitting here for stop shipe.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
You've been perving on me. You have been making me
feel uncomfortable and making inappropriate advances towards my feet this
whole time.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Guys, Britt has been sitting here for the last ten
minutes stroking the camera tripod with her toes. She fondling
the camera tripod like wedging her big toe and her
second toe, wrapping it around the leg. And I don't
know what's been going on.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
It's really soft, you know, away it's phallic shaped. Yeah,
it just makes comforting.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Actually is he? Our video producer of the Pickup is
looking at that like you just spoke about how nice
my feet are.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
You said, I have beautifully soft, clean feet, So what
is the problem.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Well, I mean not everyone's a foot person, are they.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Well they will be after the same line.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Guy, Okay, we did have a great show this week actually,
and then we're taking a week off holidays, which is
fucking amazing. But this week, okay, you all know Orlando Bloom,
Katie Perry Splitze's Donzo Splits film, and it's very sad because,
you know, as much as poor Katie Perry's been getting
a little flak lately, I really liked them as a couple.
I thought that they were solid.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
They've been together nine years, which shocked me. I never
understood it as a couple. You know, when like and
when I say that I don't know them, But Hollywood couples,
when people get together, sometimes you're like yes, and sometimes
you're like, I don't get it. I never got them.
I never thought it would last. I thought it was
a bit of a pr thing interesting.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I really did think it would love. I thought they
were an unusual couple. But I really liked them as
a couple.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I think he really liked her until she went to space.
I think she went to space and changed thing.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Well.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Look, it turns out that not even celebrities are immune
to the sad breakup posts that often follow after you've
split with someone. And you, guys, know if you've listened
to like if you're an og lifer, you will absolutely
know that when I was back in my twenties, I
used to love what I thought was a cryptic post
to put, like a quote, something that felt deep and meaningful.
(02:09):
We unpacked it on the show. But what I haven't
actually shared before on the podcast, and is deeply humiliating
because we spoke about it lab on National Radio, is
that I actually used to have an Instagram where I
used to post things that I personally wrote, not just
not just quotes that I found that I thought related
to my life.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
It was a quotes page.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I would go through a bad breakup and I would
write new things and did God I shared some of
them with you all, and it's truly embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I do want to how to regret you're gonna have?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Do I have regret? No? Not yet. Will I have
regret possibly, Let's just see how this pans out.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
It's to be fair, it was of its time. It
was the time when people were doing quotes. I did it.
I wanted to be a writer. I wrote some stuff,
had a fake name.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I did what it felt like. It felt like reading
back through like a diary that you had when you
were in your early twenties or when you're like fifteen sixteen.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
And when you at the time frequent yours like you
in these quotes like once a week.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
And the thing is is like, at the time, you
feel like it's poignant. You feel like you're never gonna
feel this much hurt or pain or suffering or like
depth to your emotions again, and then when you read
it back, you're almost embarrassed about the person that you
once were.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
So Laura reads them out and they're so bad that
Izzy a video produce over here after it like off record,
she goes, oh, how old were you?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Cute?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Laura goes twenty seven?
Speaker 2 (03:26):
She was like what, She goes, I'm that age. I
would never I think I was twenty five.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Anyway, everyone go fuck off.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
No, we did the math were you were not? You
were not?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Oh what did you do this week?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Britt not a lot. No, I did think this was interesting.
The TikTok sensation, The trid wife sensation. Nara Smith. She's
married to Lucky. She's got a few kids with unusual
names like Honeybee or something like that. Twinkle.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
The names that she has chosen for her children yeah,
are diabolical.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Well, they're interesting, like we're not hit to yuck anyone's young,
but they are in the interesting category. But she's going
viral at the moment for what she's potentially going to
call her fourth baby. She is pregnant, and she has
released a list of names that are like on the list,
some of them have made the cut, some of them
have been cut. And I just think they are so funny.
And I want to get your opinion, Laura, because you
(04:16):
are also about to have a baby.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
We've gone too far, that's my opinion. Look, she's gone
too far. We'll play them all for you, love your thoughts.
They're truly objectively terrible names. But can I tell you one?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Butter?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Butter like butter? Yeah, anyway, but I like butter In
case you guys were confused, bu double tea.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Anyway, guys, let's get into it, Laura, I really thought
this is going to tickle your fancy. Okay, you are
in the throes of your pregnancy. You are so deep
you were almost about to pop that thing out number three.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
No, I've got a few more weeks, twelve weeks it
pops out. Now that's a bit of a problem.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Well, I wanted to help you out with baby names,
just in case you were like on the edge of
maybe thinking of a new name. There's an influencer online
Nara Smith now yes trad wife Queen. She's the face
of trad Wife's. She has upwards of twelve million follows
on TikTok like. She's a very big character online.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I don't know if you haven't seen her. She does
these cooking videos. She does lots of different types of videos,
but she's the most unrelatable trad wife content creator I've
ever seen. She's like, and then I picked the butter
from the freshly milled goat milk. You're like, what are
you even saying?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
You don't pick butter?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
I don't know. She whipped it. Like anyways, con say
really good. I love listening to her.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
I love her voice. I want to say that, like,
we can pay her out as much as we want.
But that is also her thing, Like her thing is
to be really over the top dress. While she's soothingly
speaking and creating things from.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Scratch, I would say that her market and her thing
is being unrelatable. That is, she leans hard into unrelatability,
which is a territory most people would try and lean
away from. She's leaned as far into it as she can.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
She does it brilliantly to be fair. Now she's married
to her husband, whose name is Lucky, and she already
has kids. Now her kid's name. She has three children.
Her kids are Rumble Honey, Slim Easy. It's not sorry,
Rumble Honey's four, Slim Easy is three, Slim Easy is
actually the full name of that child, and Whimsy Loo
(06:12):
is the third one. I think it's a girl is
fourteen Yeah Lou, whmsy Lou. It could be either fourteen months.
So she is trying to decide on her fourth baby name,
and she's come out on TikTok and listed the names
that haven't quite made the cut that her and a
husband couldn't agree with, but she tried. Now have listened
to these, Okay.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Starting off with some boy names. I love the name
Moss Goodie Sunday but spell like the actual Sunday girl names.
I love the name Twinkle Velvet Button is so cute
to me. I love the name Apple won't be using
because it's been used before.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Another name that I love that Lucky does not like
at all.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
So it didn't even make it into our list as butter.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
But it's getting harder to name children for me.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Sorry, sorry, you can't name your child butter. I was
joking about the goats earlier, but you can't name your
kid that.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Because butter is also her thing, Like she needs a
lot of butter and makes it and whips it all
from scratch, so like that's her thing. But I can't
tell this part of me there's hoping that this is satirical,
but I don't think it is.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
No, that's the problem is twinkle.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
But if you're high on Twinkle, what, I just think.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
That you're really putting your kids into a category of
what they can do when they're older. Like you're never
going to meet a lawyer whose name is Twinkle, are you.
No one's taking that seriously, And actually there's been research
study on that. Don't quote me where it came from,
but the names that you give your kids have a
determining factor on how they're treated by other people, and
it influences what they end up doing in their careers.
So if you're going to name your kids Sparkle, Cupcake,
(07:38):
they're probably not going to be set up in life
to be the type of person that's going to be
able to move into a career that's particularly ambitious. I mean, look,
it's probably a bit subjective. I hate they're terrible names,
objectively terrible names.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
There were some others, Shimmer, stop it, very dare. The
only one that I'm gonna let slide is Merit because
that's a real name.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Marriage Ferret. Sorry, but I've got.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Me thinking what names of you like? Are there names
that you and Matt or one of you loved but
the other one couldn't get around.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I think I have chosen all of our kids' names
so far. I think I even chose I mean, we're
calling this baby Poppy. It's no secret my husband outed
that on a podcast recently. And I have this app right.
It's a kind of like baby named Tinder. So the
way it works is like you download the app, your
partner downloads the app, and then you swipe like thousands
of baby names, and it populates a list where you
(08:30):
both agreed on names that you've swiped right to or
left to.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Very clever.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I've tried to get Matt to do this for the
last two children and also for this one, and I
do the swiping and he has never downloaded it. So
I'm just playing Tinder on my own with baby names.
But I've got a few. I'll read out the ones
that didn't make the cut. Yeah, Matt, poop poot a
lot of these. Milo was one. I love Milo. That
was on my list, actually, Milo Bennett, Theodore Hudson, Finn Charlie, Remy,
(08:54):
Chase Cash, Teddy Parker. There's ressh Cash is a person
who goes out and shoots pigs.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Rory Logan, Sorry to any Cashes out there.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
It's very American. Cash is very American Logan. But Matt
grew up near Logan in Queensland, so he was like,
it's too Logans in my place, my little couzy Western Grayson, Western,
Emory Grayson, I dated.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I couldn't do that. I did beg a Grayson.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
He was hot though, he was a very good I
have a theory.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
It was the last one.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Emory.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
No.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I like Emory, Yeah, except it's a bit too much
like Memory.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
And also like a what's it called at the board,
Emory board?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah, a male nail file. My it's very said. We
also chose Pormus, but it didn't make it in there.
Pought you were serious. I was like, no, alright, let's
I also really think that regardless of what name you
go with, if you choose a name, I have learned
(09:52):
the hard way as of this baby, don't tell people
because we've chosen the middle name for this for our
little girl that we're about to have, and her middle
name also starts with P, so it's Pep.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
And Poppy from us Poppy Promus.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Some people have told us what they really think about it.
What if she's gonna be just called peepe I'm gonna
get full out of school character building. Hey do you peep?
Like that's what they're going to do. It's good, it's
good for.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
There's a new trend that's been happening online. We've been
seeing it popping up with celebrities and we're talking about
cosmetic surgery. Now, it's not to do with actually getting
the cosmetic surgery, because we all know celebrities have been
doing that for a very long time. It is around
transparency when it comes to cosmetic procedures or cosmetic surgery.
You guys might remember recently Chris Jenna, she had a
(10:40):
facelift and she came out and said, I mean.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
She couldn't deny it was pretty damn obvious, and she
looks younger than at orders.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Yes, so she came out and said, well, I have.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Been drinking lots of lemon tea.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
She's like, I've been getting botox and doing some really
great glycolic pills. No, she was honest about it and
said that she'd had a facelift. This kind of sparked
a bit of a movement among celebrities because more recently
we've been seeing Chloe Kadashian. She came out and she
opened up about getting ryna plasty, botox, and fillers. Megan
Fox has come out and said that she had procedures
(11:11):
done on her boobs. She's Kylei Jenna, Kylie Jenner. I
think the reason why these celebrities are coming out is
because the response to Chris Jenna's transparency was so overwhelmingly
positive that I think other celebrities are now jumping on
that bandwagon and kind of trying to be like, well,
I'm going to have to admit to it at some point,
so I might as well start this, you know, and
get on the front foot of this. Anyway.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I think it's also because, for example, the leaders in
this conversation at the moment, are the Jenna's like Klou Katashian,
Chris Jenna, Kylie Jenna. They're all coming out and talking
about it. And I think the first reason is Kim
and Chloe and all the girls are getting into their forties.
You can't lie about the way you look forever because
it's obvious that we are going to age. But two,
I think a lot of them it's quite selective with
(11:54):
what they're talking about. I think it's to distract from
other things, Like they're not going to say everything, but
if you just a little bit, people might lay off
you a little bit and not expect you to have
had the other things that you don't.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Want to talk totally.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Well.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Also, I mean if you've seen recently Instella bech Judd
came out and was talking about different procedures she has had.
Now Famously, bech Judd has kind of always of said, no,
I'm fully natural everything. This is just how I wake
up in the morning. And the reality is it's like
cosmetic procedures, surgical procedures, they're becoming more and more common.
They're becoming like far less stigmatized. People are talking about
(12:28):
them a lot more but this, I think is where
it does become a little bit problematic, because it is
so evident that there is only about fifty percent transparency.
It's like, oh, I'll tell you about the surgeries that
we're okay with. I'll tell you I've got a nose job,
I'll tell you I've got my boobs done. But I'm
not going to tell you about the BBL and this
and this and this, And I think that they exactly
(12:48):
what you said, Britt, You think you nailed it. The
selectiveness around the surgeries is firstly a real issue, and
secondly I kind of think it's a problem when someone
just goes everyone, I got to know his job, Look
how great it looks. I want to see the process.
I want to know how gory and gross and awful
it was, because I don't want to just see positive,
happy outcomes. We all know that like to get and
(13:11):
to have major surgery, it's incredibly painful. There's a huge process,
there's a massive cost debt, and these celebrities are able
to afford the best surgeons, whereas the rest of us
are flying to Turkey. Goddamn it, you know who does it?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
In Australia has always been really honest is Sky Wheatley.
She's an influencer. We saw a year's music.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
On Big Brother. But the cat eyes done with you. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
She talks about everything, and she posts it when she's
there and she posts it when she's getting it. She's
really honest with the feedback, and she's always been really,
really honest with it, which I think is really really great.
But it's funny because I don't know if you saw
the recent interview. Everyone's been talking about Lindsay Lohan recently,
give me a Lindsay Lohan surgeon. Tell me what she's
had done, because all of a sudden, she sort of
like disappeared for a while, came back looking incredible. It's
(13:56):
obvious she's had something done. No one cares, They just
want to know. And she did an interview like just
a couple of weeks ago where she said it was
just down to like she said, I have lemon water
in the morning and I have been doing some lasers,
and everyone's like, that's not lemon water. Like I could
drown my face in lemon water every day and it's
not going to do that.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
It's the same as Paris Hilton saying that she's never
had botox, but never there any procedures whilst saying it
her face is completely paralyzed. The thing is, we don't
have a tolerance for it anymore. We do call bullshit
when people say, oh I haven't done anything, this is
just me naturally. So I do think there's been pressure
for celebrities to be a little bit more honest. I
want to see the process. I want way more transparency
(14:34):
around how like just awful it is to go and
have these procedures done, because I think that that might
be a bit of the antidote to deter especially young girls,
from wanting to go and get major cosmetic surgery where
it's just incredibly painful and stuff can go wrong and
we know it does.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Yeah, I reckon, just spit it out. Just tell us
what you've had done, and tell us where you go
and tell us. Look Australia's sweetheart Robert Irwin. I don't
think he's got a bad bone in his body. I
don't think there's anyone that can dislike him. He's an
absolute superstar. He's gone over to a merry car recently.
He's on Dancing with the Stars over there. Somehow he
(15:13):
has gone up astronomically to eight million followers on Instagram.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Like for Australia shrine for Robert Irwin, what are we here?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Well, I'm setting him up before I threw him under
a bus. But no, he recently did a dine and
dash like where you eat and then run away and
don't pay snow bomb. Yeah, he smoke bombed. Have listened
to what he said.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Found a great restaurant, ordered to take away salad, and
there was a lot of people who you know, saw
me and said good a and wanted to have a
photo and all that, which is which is all good.
But it turned into a bit of a bit of
a frenzy. It was a little bit of a flurry
there for a minute. They got the salad super fast.
She is thanks so much to have a good night,
see you later. And then the next morning I wake
(15:53):
up and realize I never paid for my salad.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I just did the.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Old din and dash and I didn't even realize I'd
done it. I felt terrible.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Poor Robert Irwin. He's getting mobbed for a salad and
then he has to do a public apology.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Sorry, this is brilliant on behalf of this. Cops Harbor restaurant.
He's in cops. This is brilliant because he's just advertised
them one salad probably what seventeen bucks eight million followers.
That probably cost forty thousand dollars of advertising if someone
was to pay Robert away.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah, you would want to go to the place that
Robert gets his salads from, wouldn't you. He's recommending it,
You're going to go visit.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Have you ever dined and dashed?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I feel like everyone's kind of accidentally walked away and
then realized and like, you know there, someone's chased them
out of the restaurant. You're like, oh, sorry, Never dine
and dash though, that I can remember. But I have
definitely been in the shops when my kids have picked
up something and put it either in their pocket, in
the trolley, in the press and they have shoplifted. Yeah,
so my kids are shoplifted station. No one called the police,
(16:51):
So they've definitely done that before. Like we've accudally stolen
a pack of tiny teddies.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
It actually happened to me two weeks ago. I happened
to me Dyna Dash. Oh well, let me just tell
you very similar to Robert Iran. I was being mobbed
out of the front night, wasn't I I was. I
was at a restaurant up on the Gold Coast and
with there were six of us in total. They sat
us right out the front on the thoroughfare, and I know,
(17:15):
I'm joking. There were a few people that recognized this
and said hello, but I was definitely not being mobbed. Anyway.
We paid, went to leave, had to walk past everyone
out of the front. It was a packed restaurant, was
on a weekend, and we walked set out goodbyes when
walking up the street, and then the waitress comes running
up the street in front of everyone, like yelling out
to stop us like we hadn't paid, and was literally
(17:37):
saying that out loud, like you haven't paid, excuse me.
And I was mortified because I thought, I know I
have paid. I literally just paid. But she yelled this out.
Everyone in the restaurant thinks I'm doing a dining dash. Anyway,
she caught up to us up the street and I
went onto my bank and I was like, we just paid.
I went onto my bank and showed her and she's like,
oh my god, my mistake. And I was like, well,
too late. I was like, because now everyone thinks I've
(17:57):
dined and dash.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I would have thought it would have been a situation where
you car was declined. That's always awkward, you know.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
It's just I don't know what happened. I was like,
look it's gone through, and she's like, oh, I'm so sorry,
my mistake. I done.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I have a funny one for you, you know, justin
hem's obviously very wealthy, very very The man's got a
lot of money. We all know what it's in every newspaper.
I was standing in at a Sigi place and he
was in front of me and he was paying for
an a Saigi bolt like dolls fifty card declined and
I was like, God, that's awkward, poor guy. But then
I realized it was because he was paying with the
black Amex and they just didn't accept it. So I
was I'm sure the guy was fine. You guys might
(18:32):
know Orlando Bloom, Katie Perry done dust, dumb space dust.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Some might say, some might not. I reckon, you got
the ick from the whole space there.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Well that's what people are saying, So okay. If you
haven't heard, they do have a little baby together or
a kid together. They've recently split days. Daisy now they've
broken up, and since the breakup, I mean, lots of
people have been speculating around the reasons why. But one
thing we don't need to speculate about is the fact
that Orlando Blue has been using his social media in
a little bit of an interesting way. And I don't
(19:04):
know if anyone else can relate to this, but when
you go through a bad breakup, often your social media
will reflect what's happening in your personal lives. Like maybe
you start posting inspirational quotes or the geeks. Yeah, I
do have it. I've got a bit of skin in
the game. But I wanted to read out some of
the things that he has been posting thus far on
his Instagram. Loneliness does not come from having no people
(19:27):
about one, but from being unable to communicate the things
that seem important to oneself.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Okay, question, I've read it a few times. I don't
understand if he's trying to say that he's lonely because
she was making him lonely, or if he was trying
to say the other way around, or who now da,
I don't know. It's so like into oneself thy loneliness
THI that I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Well, this is the thing about cryptic posts, right, everyone
else never knows the true meaning. Only the person that
it's been written for actually knows the true meaning. Around
the weird cryptic Instagram messaging, here's another one. Each day
is a new beginning. What we do today is what
matters most, you know what.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I think it's okay. I think it's okay. He's just
showing that he's expressing himself his feelings. It doesn't matter
that he's a superstar. He feels loneliness as well.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Absolutely, I used to do this, right. I'd go through
a bad breakup in my twenties, and I thought that
it was like just like really obscure and deep to
post quotes that so that either related to what I
was going through, or I posted them knowing that the
person I was dating was going to see them and
they would get like an inside little knowledge into what
(20:39):
it was that I was experiencing.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah, like I'm talking directly to you and it's a
language that we can only hear. We did make Laura
go back through and find some of these posts.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Yeah, So the problem is is that I actually went
one step further than that. I created an Instagram page.
When I was in my twenties. Not only did I
used to like screenshot random quotes that I'd found on
the internet. When I was really in the depths of
despair of a breakup, I would write little muse things,
I would call them, and I would post them on
the Internet where people can actually see them. And there
is still a paper trailer of this today. And I
(21:09):
will never You could talk to me to death, and
I will never tell you the name of that Instagram page.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
So it wasn't under your name. It was a fake name.
It was a fake name. Okay, I know you feel uncomfortable.
I also, by default feel vistory uncomfortable for you.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
You have to read one out. Okay, here's one dated
the twentieth of the ten fourteenth. Okay, twenty fourteenth, Sorry,
eleven years. Never overlook the beauty, bravery, and simplicity of
the word. No great, simple, Please make it stop already
simple and to the point. Here's another one. This was
(21:43):
October twenty fourteen. It was a bad year, bad breakup
in every situation in life.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
This is only a couple of months after.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
What I It's the same breakup, God damn it. In
every situation in life. If you ever have to ask
yourself the question, am I settling? The answer is yes.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I want to curl into a ball this one.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Wait, hold on October. It was a bad month. There
are millions of things in life that you will have
absolutely no control over. Your own happiness is not one
of them. God, she's deep.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I'm gonna let that one fly. Okay, give me another one, though,
Oh I can't. Can I read one?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Can I read one?
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Give me the page?
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I'm all right? God, this one really just put a
knife in me and put me to sleep. Give me
the green dream. Maybe one day, Oh stop, no, no,
may still remember the boy. It was not worth all
of this torment. Maybe one day the two of you
will collide, and for the first time, you will understand
what it is to be fully and wholly known. You
(22:47):
will be known from your darkest corners to the brightest light,
and moments in their presence, no matter how fleeting, will
be calm, full of laughter and rambling conversations, full of
what And isn't that what we spend our lives searching for?
To be known? Holy? Right down twelve, very soul. I
(23:12):
feel sick. I feel unwell. Orlando Bloom. Don't worry. You
don't even touch the sides. Laura Burn was there first.
I see you, I feel you, I hear you. Orlando
love Laura. Oh then I met my husband on a
reality TV.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Show and you've never been You've never been more known.
He knew you along with thirty other women.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
All right, change your pace? Can we revisit this? Can
we make this like aneically diary read or there's so
many of them perfect, that's perfect for us. They're the
palatable ones. They get worse.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Okay, hang around next week. I'm going to be reading
whatever one I choose of yours. You're gonna give me
your phone and I'm going to read whatever I feel
tickles my fence the more I scroll.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
September was was definitely worse in October. So we can
deep dive September next time.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Everyone knows Fast and the Furious, right, Paul Walker and
Vin Diesel. Now, the reason we're talking about it today
is because Laura and I are having discussed it in
the past week or two. They want to do the
twelfth and final film in the franchise.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
I think it's the eleventh, but like who's counting by now?
Speaker 2 (24:15):
So many but they want to do it by bringing
back Paul Walker. So Paul Walker died in twenty thirteen,
which was tragic, but they want to put him in
the entire movie like he's a living actor.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Yeah, we talked about this last week. There was a
lot of moral conundrums around this because Paul Walker's daughter
and his brothers and that are okay with it. But
the question that we were talking about is, well, who
owns someone's image? Who owns someone's face, their mannerisms, the
way they speak, the sound of their voice.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
So Denmark is at the forefront of some new legislation
and what they're saying is basically AI generated deep fakes
are now under a copyright law and every single person
should be in charge of the way they look and
the way they are presented and their voice. And no
one else has really done this before.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Yeah, I guess it's all around. Every single person has
the right to own their own face in Australia, though
there are laws. If someone's making explicit material through deep fakes,
that is against the law completely. But I do think
that there is a bit of a gray area with
other types of deep fakes. The reason why I think
that this is crazy, genuinely is because obviously, I think
(25:19):
when you talk about things like deep fakes or AI,
we often talk about celebrities. I mean, we've got a
very funny photo of the Pope wearing a puffer jacket,
which we all thought was the Pope, but you know,
apparently it's not. He actually looks good in it. Though
he looks li I was like, that is a cool pope.
Turns out even producer Grace was fulled and thought it
was but no one's an AI image. I kind of
question it when it comes to celebrities because I think
(25:40):
we're all starting to become a little bit more aware
that obviously celebrities are victims of deep fakes and AI.
But literally last night at dinner, one of my good friends, Falcon,
came over and he was showing me a photo. He
was like, speaking of AI. Look at how cool this is,
And it was a photo of him and his really
good girlfriend. Obviously she was consenting to this, but they
were like mucking around with how to make AI work
(26:03):
and in some app that they have. Basically he'd uploaded
a photo of himself and her standing next to each other.
They just had their arm around each other. And the
AI app that he'd used had made them go from
standing next to each other, it had turned the photo
into a video, and they'd made out with each other.
It was so convincing that I honestly I had to
see the app to believe that it actually wasn't created
(26:24):
from a photo. I thought genuinely he'd just kissed his friend.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I wonder if celebrities might use this to their advantage.
Like I no one's saying it's really detrimental, but I
wonder if a celemb gets done like doing drugs or
something that now it's so real you can just say, oh,
that's not me. Someone has aied that, like, surely you
can use it.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
To attend in the reverse. But I also think about
it more from like, you know, if someone can create
a picture of them making out with their friends so
easily turn it into a video, imagine like a jilted
X what they could do with a photo. Or imagine
someone who has like a real vendetta against someone at
work and turning AI against them in a workplace. This
(27:04):
is such a new area, and I do think in
the next few years we are going to see some
real creative and also potentially really venomous or vindictive ways
that AI has used. People could lose their jobs, they
could potentially be seen as though they're cheating in relationships
when they're never ever, ever cheated. I just think like
the advances have moved forward so quickly in AI, but
(27:26):
the legislation and policy never catches up to technology as quickly,
and so there's a little bit of a gray area
at the moment, the whole thing, but it's so fascinating.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
There's a couple Laura online at the moment going viral
for the funniest story. So this couple's friend, like his
college friend. They were catching up and he'd just gotten
engaged and he was talking about his wedding to them.
He said, I'm getting married next year. It's going to
be like so small and intimate and special. And that
was the conversation, just like a really private conversation. The
(27:58):
couple then received a save the day for the following year,
and it was international. It was like over in Argentina.
So they do what most people would do for an
international wedding, and they lock in the flights and the accommodation,
and you know, it was fifteen hundred dollars flights three
thousand dollars of accommodation.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Also, yeah, when it's an international wedding, they'll say, the
dates are way more important because you've got to actually
block out time for work, and you've got to book
the flights on a decent amount of money and blah
blah blah.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Oh he had to be so organized. So they organized
the whole thing because they've been friends forever and they've
got to save the date. And he told them to
their face, you know, small intimate wedding. So they book
the same hotel as the groom and bride and the
bridal party because they thought that would be easier. So
all the family and everywhere at this one hotel. So
they booked. That time goes past and they haven't received
(28:43):
any updates, and it's like a couple of days before
they're flying out and they're still looking for updates. Then
that's when it clicks to them. They're like, hang on,
we actually never got an invite. They turned up to
the wedding uninvited. So they no, well, okay, this is
where it gets it.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
They actually go to the web, they just go on holiday.
They stand up to the hotel.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
They can't change it. They're locked in. They don't want
to waste their money and not go, but they're too
embarrassed to tell them what happened. So they go to
the wedding and then just find out their schedule and
just do everything around their schedule. So they're like spies
hiding at the wedding. Like so when they see them
go to the pool, they would go and book a spa.
When they see them going to get massages, they would
go out for the day and get whatever it is.
(29:24):
And they avoided the whole bridal party.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
So they never knew that they were there. Imagine finding
out that two of your best friends were at the
same hotel where your wedding was being held. Surely because
you sent them a save the date and then uninvited.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
But I do you know what, I can see how
that happens. I think if you've sent a save the date,
that is as good as an invitation. If you're uninviting someone,
you need to uninvite them. You can't just not follow
through with an invitation and think that that's good enough, right, right, Laura?
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Did you do this not to this note because we
didn't have a destination wedding also, but did yourself. Yes, technically,
but on a technicality slightly different. So my husband and
I we were originally going to get married towards the
start of COVID, and then COVID hit and everything kind
of went a bit screw loose. So we sent out
save the dates to our family and friends, and then
(30:17):
the date changed because you know, COVID hit, and we
decided to postpone it. So we actually didn't get married
for two and a half years after our original wedding
date that was set, or two years or something like that.
That's a long time, a long time, a long time.
So we'd sent out save the dates. Then our second
wedding day, we also then sent out saying, oh, that
date's been changed, like hold tight, we'll have more details
(30:38):
for you. Two years later, there were some people who
we sent save the dates to on that original mailing list,
and let me tell you, we had not heard from them.
I had not heard from them, neither had Matt. We'd
barely spoken to them in that time, and so I
kind of just assumed, if we haven't spoken in two years,
surely they don't expect to get another save the date.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
So you didn't uninvite them. I just didn't send another
save the date. I just didn't tell them when the
new wedding was. But did they contact you in any capacity?
Speaker 1 (31:04):
One person did?
Speaker 4 (31:06):
One?
Speaker 1 (31:06):
One of them said, hey, honey, I haven't received the
invitation yet.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
What did you say? Do you fake it or say
because you're not invited? I then invited them under duress.
What else are you just going to do?
Speaker 1 (31:19):
So a bad that actually didn't come. Oh, they didn't
come because they've probably heard you say I'm panicing. No, no, no, no.
I think it was because by then, like the wedding
was actually just a couple of weeks away, like it
was very evident. It was just so awkward looking back now,
it was so awkward. I didn't know what to do.
I didn't want to write them and say, hey, I
have not heard from you for two years and I've
had a baby and you just kind of vanished from
my life. So I didn't think you'd want to come
(31:41):
to my wedding. I didn't want to send that. There
was a bit of passive aggressiveness loaded into that. So
instead I just sent them an invite and said so sorry, honey,
if you haven't received it.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
You can read between the lines if you're getting an
invitation three weeks out of a wedding, you're like the
last person on the list.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Something's gone wrong. Don't get me wrong, though, I don't
think it's a smart move. If you've sent out saved
the date, don't be a coward like I am. At
least tell people if they're not invited to the real wedding,
especially if they're trying to go to an overseas wedding.
I would love to know. Do you share an office
or a communal kitchen space where you've got to put
your lunch in a shared fridge? And if so, is
(32:17):
there some fridge politics that goes on in your workplace,
Because there'd been.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
No workplace without fridge politics.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
And I know what happens, right, you put your little
yoga in there, your little yogurt satchel. Someone comes up
and takes it, and then it's lunchtime and you're looking
around you can't find your yogurt. We used to have
a kitchen thief here. We used to have someone who
would always go in and steal things from the fridge.
I think even while though things could be perfectly labeled
with a name, it could be your lunch so you
brought in that your mum had made you in the mornings,
(32:44):
packed you perfectly in a brown paper bag. You'd go
there to go and get it and half it would
be eaten. I think most officers have one of these
people who feel like it's okay to help themselves to
other people's lunches. And there is a man who has
been speaking about this online. Now. He had his lunch
stolen five times at his work. Imagine bringing a pack
slash shitty. It's absolutely bizarre, Okay.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Because also if it's a good lunch, you think about
it all day and passed and you open it up
and some gorn Yeah, some colleagues has helped himself to
half a serve.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
So five times he had his lunch stolen. And then
he decided that instead of like you know, enacting revenge,
instead of having like you know, making a big deal
about it, he just brought in a little, a little
tiny minifridge that he put under his desk and he
started putting his lunch into his own minifridge where no
one could access. And unfortunately that had him labeled as
the office wirdo because he was so protective over his
(33:34):
own lunch. But this is the drastic measures that he
had to take.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
It's not that drastic. I'm definitely team him.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
I was.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
I thought you're going to say he got stolen out
of his minifridge, you might have to lock that well.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Since then, he's had no more stolen.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Lunches, do you know I this is so disgusting. I
haven't thought about this in years. I was working in
a hospital, won't say where, and there was somebody that
worked there that was convinced people was taking his lunch.
But I don't know why, because no one, for all
accounts that we can remember, no one took his lunch.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Right.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
He was so paranoy that someone would take his lunch
that he would bring in a dead rat.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
No, that's not real. I saw it. It was my work.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
He put a dead rat on top of his lunch
box to deter people from wanting to open it. And
let me tell you, not only did it deter people,
he got fired. It's like that's an olag iness thing.
You can't put a dead animal.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Was he working in like a lab or something like
a science lab? So he had access to dead rats?
Because like I don't know, where's someone who works in
the hospital finding a dead rat to put on their lunch.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
She brought it from home. I'm not kidding. I wish
I was kidding. I'm actually not. And he was obviously
not well and he got we didn't get made redundant.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
We've heard some from safety. I just it's just such
a tall tale that I feel like that person's gone
too far. Here we are talking about a mini bar,
and you're like, I've can one up that story. I
did tell you brought a dead rat in.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Yeah, I did tell you it was bad, And I
wish I was lying, but I wasn't. I reckon. There's
a lot of stories, probably not to that level. There's
a lot of crazy lunch stories, for sure.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
When I used to work as a graphic designer many
many moons ago, we had the same thing communal fridge,
and one of the girls I worked with always brought
in boiled eggs. Like she would bring boiled eggs in
and put them in the top of the fridge compartment, like,
because no one's bringing in raw eggs to an office fridge, right,
And so someone kept on stealing and helping themselves to
her boiled eggs. So she'd go there, there'd be three
the next day there'd be one. Anyway, she decided to
(35:23):
bring in a couple non boiled eggs, just like fresh
eggs and put them in the boiled egg little compartment,
and she soon found out who the person was that
was stealing the eggs because they were taking them to
their desk, cracking them, and then doing it in their bin.
So like anyway, they took a fresh egg to their
desk and cracked it on table, and everyone knew who
the culprit was.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Let us know if you have a story that can
one up either the rat or that.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Well, I feel like the rat one. No one's going
to be able to what up Brit because that's just psychotic.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
I also hope no one can one up that the
boat
