Speaker 1 (00:00):
This episode was recorded on Cameragle Land.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Hi guys, and welcome back to another episode of Life
on Cut. I'm Laura, I'm Brittany, and this is it's
actually not Life on Cut. It's the Pickup. It's our
radio show, Britney. Stop banging your microphone around.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
It wasn't ready. I didn't even have my e phones on,
my headphones on.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
I mean, you never have your headphones.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
It's my birthday week. What about you can't come for me?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Sorry? Sorry it is it was your birthday week. This
is the pickup.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
It's where we package up all the best bits from
our Nash'll not rady s.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Will we play them here for you this week?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Can I just say I did really control myself on
the pod because I didn't talk about book Week.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
And all I've done.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
For the last several weeks of my life is talk
about Bookweek. We've been talking about it on radio and
non stop. And this is the thing, right, And I
know I've said this before, but if you have a
kid in school, you do book Week is one day,
so you just get one costume. But if your kid
is in preschool, every single day of the week is
book week, and so you have to come up with
a different outfit.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
It does make sense some.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Kids get left out because some kids might only got
a day here on a Tuesday, you know what I'd say, Friday.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Soon as you lose, like suck it up. I think
you have to just make it fair. Like they didn't
know that miss down and they weren't there.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
So Lola had lots of costumes this week because she
obviously had something different every day. But she had one
very I don't want to say questionable and like go
off queen. Yes, you be you and you lean into
what you're passionate about. She was supposed to go as
an astronaut on the last day of school, but she
had a little quick swap and change and the book
that she chose may not be age appropriate. Yes, there
(01:33):
may be swear words in it, but I didn't realize
that until we had Fashion Critical herself on the show
and she was reviewing Lola's outfit her book week costume.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I think she can live a best life. I think
it was cute. I don't I think the astronaut was boring.
She lent in too who she really is.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
No, she walked into the shower this morning, so like
Matt had got her dressed in the astronaut outfit, and
you would think that she was just like, you know,
being murdered or like held against her will. She came
in bawling her eyes out, did not want to wear
the US not and was so keen on doing this
like fashion critical look that she'd put together.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
It's like, girlfriend, you're four good honor live your best life.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Well.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I had a conversation this week of probably one of
my favorite conversations we've ever had is machine Gun Kelly
related to Aliens.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I'm not sure if this is the.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Worst radio we've ever done or BRIT's like I was,
I loved it so much.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I just can't get behind alien chat.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
But you're we're dear friends. Must I get behind Goes
you don't get behind like the Manifestation, you don't get
behind Aliens. I'm into that kind of stuff because it's
like I don't necessarily have to believe it, but I
find it fascinating and I love hearing people's stories.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Now I get behind the Manifestation stuff more.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I'm a bit of a skeptic, and also even the
ghosts I've come around too.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
But then every year you come out with You're like,
now we're gonna talk about aliens whatever.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
I just want to explore the world and know what's possible.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Well, I did have to drag brid out of the
corner and take the tin fall hat off her head.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I still anyway, let's get into it, Laura.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I feel like Leonardo DiCaprio. We grew up with him
being he was a bit older than us, but he
was the heartthro of he was. He was the one
that you would stick on your wall as a poster,
like you know.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
When he saw him, and also Hanson, so yeah, oh.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yeah, Hanson. But he was like, I don't know, he
was of our time, I guess, And I think he's probably,
for me, one of the most controversial people at the
moment in Hollywood. And I don't know whether to love
him or hate him. You know how he always gets
his controversy about dating younger women.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Well, he went from being I mean, do you remember
him in Romeo and Juliet. He was so young, he
couldn't do anything wrong, he was so hot. No, then
everyone the beach like he was just beautiful, and then
me and the beach was like that lives around for him.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
He really was.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
He was a beautiful, beautiful man, and then everyone wanted
to date him. And then somehow he went from being
this beautiful heart throb to being a cringy old dude
who's now dates nineteen year old kids.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
So believe it or not, that much time has gone
past that. He has just turned fifty, so he's in
his fifty birthday. Leo, Well, it was last year, but
he's kicked off the internet's kick again because people he
became a bit of a butt of all the jokes.
The oldest woman he's ever dated is his current girlfriend
right now, who is twenty seven years old. And we've
spoken about him and we've had laughs on the podcasts
(04:11):
on the radio show before about the fact that like
he was dating twenty year olds as like forty eight
year olds, and we're all for the age gap. It's fine,
but not when it's a bit becomes a bit predatory
and like when it's your mo on repeat.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I mean, to be fair, I have no issue with
a fifty year old dating a twenty seven year old.
I have an issue with like a forty eight year
old dating a nineteen year old. For you, especially when
that is your only type and you're only dating people
who are under twenty two or something.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Well, that's gross.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
He's kids off the internet again. So he just did
an interview with one of his directors, Paul Thomas Anderson,
and this was for Esquire. You know Esquire magazine.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yeah, I'm super familiar with that. I read it all
the time, famous favorite maga.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
I'm telling you because I know it's a very famous magazine.
So basically, during the interview, he was asked, if you
didn't know how old you are, how old are you
right now? So, like, how old do you feel in
this moment age taken away? And he replied that he
feels thirty two. But then he went another step and
he said, but emotionally max thirty five. That's what he's saying.
(05:13):
So he's fifty and he feels like he's in.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
His early thirties. And I think that that that gives
me the ac Well.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
People are coming for him, like, so you know, this
is why you're only dating younger girls in your twenties
and blah blah blah. It's like another reason for them
to hate on him.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
But I think the reason why people are coming for
him is because people when I first read that, and
I've seen it going viral on socials and stuff. I
thought he meant it in reference to his dating life.
I didn't realize the question that made him answer that.
I kind of feel a bit sorry for him, because
that feels like a little bit of a setup.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
He just answered.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
He just answered, honestly, he's like, I'm fifty, but I
feel thirty five, and emotionally I feel like this, and
people are like, well, that's why you're date nineteen year olds.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
But I get it.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I actually really feel what he's saying. And I think
when I was younger, and I remember my parents saying
the same thing, like I remember my parents being I
think it was their fortieth or fiftieth, and I remember
them saying like, I still feel twenty one, like you age,
but inside you don't feel the age you are. And
I feel like that now. I'm thirty eight this week,
(06:11):
and I if you ask me how old I feel,
I'm constantly being like I'm not ready for kids, like
I'm too young, and it's because of course I'm almost
aged out. I'm a geriatic pregnancy at this point, you're
not aside, no, like my eggs are almost aged out,
not me like physically not but the age, but I
feel twenty eight. I'd almost take ten years off what
my age is, and I don't know what that is.
(06:32):
I don't know if that's because I don't have the
responsibility of kids and I am living this like this
life with a lot of freedom and spontaneity. I don't
know what it is, but I feel for him because
I get it. I was like, I do, how old
you're like it?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I also date down and age I do. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I'm currently five weeks from having a baby, and I
genuinely feel like I have a head hanging out of me.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
I'm so uncomfortable at this point.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
No, I don't actually how you feel.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I mean I'm old.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Well, yeah, I would say I feel I feel old.
I feel like my body hurts, my back hurts, my
hips hurt, my everything hurts.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
You're the opposite, you feel like, yeah, I'm like fifty.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I'm like like, yeah, I'm having a hard time.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
But I would say that it's only because I'm in
this very specific stage of pregnancy, like third trimester, asking someone, so,
how old do you feel?
Speaker 1 (07:16):
When I haven't been for a walk.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Longer than six hundred meters in about six weeks probably doesn't.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Really equate to feeling my best.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I mean, it's that old adage, right, like you're only
as old as you feel. My mum says that my
nan said it until she was eighty six, but like
you know, it t really is. It's you're only as
old as you feel, unless you Leonardo and you're dating
twenty seven year olds, and then you're as old as
the media says you are.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
All right, Well, anyway, let's give Lenado a break.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Nah, I think he's fine. I think he's all right.
I reckon, he's fair game.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I know that you don't want to talk about this, Laura,
but I am so excited to talk about machine gun Kelly. Actually,
I think he just goes by machine now. I think
we just call him machine. He dropped the rest of it. Anyway.
He has come out and said that he thinks it's
a possibility that his dad is an alien. No, I
know how that sounds straight off the bat bick Craig Cray,
Oh yeah, just.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
A little a little bit of dash of a craig.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
But he's talking about there are some things that happened
to him that he just can't explain.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
How a listen I don't know many facts about my life,
so I don't know. I'm starting to just be like
like my skin, like it that rips open, it heals
really quick, like wow. There's just things where I'm starting
to be like, who's my dad?
Speaker 5 (08:21):
You know?
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Do you think that you could be like other world that?
I've asked my mom, I said, any period of time
you went like missing? And what does she say for
like a tall slender you know, creature that right? She
told me she felt like she got abducted at one point.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
No, this sounds like too drunk dudes at a party.
It's two am and they've been there for too long.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
It's Andy Cohen.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
No, I don't know, ru, I don't care. I don't
know who Andy co I know who Andy Cohen is.
But even the like wow, do you think you could
be otherworldly? Like, it's just no.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
No, I think that makes a good interview, to be honest.
He's leaning into where the conversation is going and he's
probing for information. But I think who are we to say?
I think he's joking. No, he's not joking. He's spoken
about it before. He's actually got like an album song
video for one of his songs that's about aliens, I
think because if you look at him, people have likened
(09:12):
him in the past to look in alien ish. And
when I say that, it's because, like, you know, how
aliens have the very you know, our of alien.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Who knows what an alien looks like.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I can guarantee you everyone's picturing an alien right now.
And it's the head that's like the inverted triangle. That's
what the shape of the head. And they're tall and skinny.
Every alien show you've ever seen looks.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Like That doesn't mean that that's because actually what aliens
look like, it's just because it's being made up.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
But who are we to say they don't exist? I
know you're a bit of a skeptic, but like, surely
it is ignorant of us to say that we are
the only species in this universe, knowing how many other
planets there are.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
All I've taken from this entire show today is that
Britt just really wants to talk alien stories, and I
think it's.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Just way too worry.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
But when you know how many planets there are, like,
why do you think you're the only one?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I don't think I'm the only one. But I also
just don't believe in No, I don't.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Well, I'm sure there could be something, But do I
think that they're arriving here in ships and flying around?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
And I know I don't.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I just so you think there is something in another life,
I need to say it.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I don't care enough to have an opinion.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Well, it's your job to have an opinion. I'm asking you.
Do you think that there is life on another planet?
Speaker 6 (10:22):
No?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yes, but not in the form of alien know, because
I don't think If I'm going to be honest, I mean,
I think it's a silly conversation, but I don't think
it's in the form that we make it out in
like et and movies. I think that there's probably some
microorganism that would indicate that there's life on a planet,
but I don't think it's in the way in which
sci fi films lead us to believe.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
It's boring. Okay, well, anyway, let's go to Wendy. Wendy
tell me that you have some sort of alien UFO encounter.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
Yes, I do, but I just wanted to put it
out there that I did not get probe.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
That was first question.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Thank goodness for you.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
I didn't get proke and I didn't see any little
green men. So I grew up in Country Victoria, little
farming town. There's a couple of power stations around the area.
Not abnormal for stories to come out around the power stations.
So anyway, when my brother and I were little, we
went out onto the porch, looking out into the paddock,
and above the tree line, probably a couple of paddocks away,
(11:18):
we could see a silver disk and we just couldn't
believe what we were seeing, you know, looking at each
other in absolute disbelief, but more more than anything terror.
So we went inside and got mum. She came outside
to have a look, and by that time it was gone.
But in saying that, she had stories, you know, from
when she was little too, growing up in the areas.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Wait, was it nighttime or daytime when you saw the
disc first?
Speaker 6 (11:39):
So it was dusk, so I was just on duck
And yeah, generally that's the time that they come out.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I just always think it's generally the time they come out.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
When did you become the alien expert?
Speaker 6 (11:50):
You have to be careful what you say sometimes too,
because people think you're crazy or you've got a tinfall
or whatever.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
You have to be careful what you're saying.
Speaker 6 (11:58):
In case the AI is here, I promise you I'm
not seeing it home with my tinfore hat on. But oh,
I really am a believer.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Oh, Wendy, thanks for the call.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
I don't know why I'm admitting to this.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I could just not tell you and then you would start,
then you would think more of me.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
But prepare to me. I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I think there is actually something wrong with me, and
I think there's maybe something wrong with my brain, as in,
I'm very forgetful. I'm a little bit chaotic, but I
tend to lose things pretty easily. Would you agree, brit
I've been lulding. I think this is like a trick question.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Like how many times have I, to be honest, how
many times have I lost the swipe card for this studio?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Let me be honest. You've got ADHD diagnosed AHD. We
all know it.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
You know it.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
We don't love you any less. Like with my dream
day would be when you come, can you be like, hey,
I've decided to.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Get do you know I'll never do it.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I never am going to go through the process of ADHD.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Dynam I just don't want you to be right. I
don't want I don't want to lose that battle.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I'll pretend I'm wrong, but it's for you, no one else.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
What if you left on your room.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
So I have this really bad habit of putting things
on the roof of my car and then just driving.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Away, you know, like everything, small dogs, children, everything, walle
It's like, I don't know why, I don't know how
I managed to do it.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I don't even know I'm doing I put my phone
on there, get in the car driveway.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Because you always have a lot of things in your hands.
The first place to do it to open a car
door is to put something on your roof. So it's
like it happens. It just happens to you an astronomical amount.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
So the other day I was driving to work, so
like I you know, I didn't even know the kids
or anything.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I just put my handbags in the car and stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I got in the car, turned the car on and
I'm driving to work. When you leave, like where we
live brit and then you're going to go to the
other side of the city, there's this one little area
where it goes from I think it's like fifty kilometers
to eighty kilometers, but it's a really short strip of road, right, So.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I speed up and I go down this eighty kilometer
bit of road. I hear this. I was like, what
was that? Even the dog was like, what the hell
was that mole? He's like, Nam, that's a kid on
the road. No we should anyway, I go in trouble.
I can't do.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I pull into my garage and I was like, where
are my car keys? So this is meant to be
a feature of the key, right, Like your car's not
meant to turn on if your keys are not in
the car. So I then spent a good twenty minutes
looking could not find my keys. Can't find them anywhere
on the highway.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I'm not joking.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
My entire car keys, my house keys, my office keys.
I have this, like Janitor, what of keys? I put
them on top of the roof of the car and
I drove to work.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
So then, how do you knowing now that you can't
restart your car because your keys are one hundred cams away?
How do you did you go back and just drive
that road?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I couldn't. I didn't have any keys.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
But then so what did you do? How are you
driving your.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Car was very disappointed if my husband when I called
him and asked if he could come get me and
bring me my spare set of key. So the problem
is I had to admit at this time because normally
I can get away with like driving away with a
coffee cup on.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
The roof or a wallet, or I just.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Don't have to tell people because of the only person
it affects is me. But when you don't have your
car keys to the car that you've just driven to
an entirely different suburb, and also you'd.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Be the sort of person that has your full name
and address on your keys too, so every key that
you've got to everything in your life.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I had a real bone to pick with the car
company because I was like, normally it says your keys
are not in the car, or it gives you some
sort of like warning, but none of that.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I guess on the car is close enough, it probably
has a radius, so it must have just like scooted
it in the radius, because it's like, that's that's pretty
close to being on the car.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
But you would have.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Thought that when it fell off the roof and flew
down the freeway that the car would have gone like
thing something's wrong with the keys on in here? You
threw them out the window, but it didn't anyway.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I had to call my heart, are you blaming the car?
Speaker 3 (15:41):
I feel like you're putting a lot of blame.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Only I was safe.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
If it makes you feel better, I don't do this recurrently.
I have done it once that I can remember. I
don't know how because I was so hungry, but I
left my lunch and a smoothie, like I left my hole.
I went to a cafe, got everything and left it
on the car and I had to drive away and
there was a car beeping me, and it was like
coming up beside me, and I intentionally was ignoring it.
(16:06):
You know how you pull out in front of someone
or something and they're beeping you. So I thought the
person next to me was road raging me. So I
just didn't make eye contact, was looking straight ahead. And
it was only when they like literally wound down and
got in my face that I was like what, and
they were like, your food is with chickens.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I'm alone in this. I think a lot of people
have done it.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Yeah, once, I'll do it a lot a week.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Phones keys wallet, yet to put a living thing on
the roof of the car. But I, thank god, definitely
a culprit. Right now, we have something that we need
to talk about. Do you think it's weird?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Like obviously we all.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Know that the kind of I guess, like the stereotype
is that the guy proposes to the girl in heterosexual relationships,
that's the.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Patriarch, it's the patriot.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
But oh, you know, I think it's a changing a
little bit. Like there are definitely we've spoken about it before.
There are some women who have proposed to their fiancees
or partners.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Oh, there's nothing wrong with it, But I wouldn't say
it's changing that rapidly. I would still state is like
a one percent.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yeah, it's definitely the norm to kind of like wait
until the day that you're Prince Charming, if you're one
has heterosexual relationship, proposes to you, right. So Bella Thorne,
if you don't know who she is, she's an ex
Disney star, she's an actress. She also blew up, like
it literally blew the hell up because of her only fans.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
I think everyone started to she became like more of
a household name. But she holds the record for the
highest earnings in the first week of only Fans, she
made two million dollars within like six days of starting
her only Fans And I'm pretty sure she didn't even
post anything yet. I think she was like signing. People
were like ready for it, ready for it. She didn't
even have to post. Maybe I'll try that good luck.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
All right, Well, look, she's confused people online more so
than anything.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I don't think people. No one's up in arms. People
are just a little bit like I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
So two years ago her partner proposed to her, or
a year ago, her partner proposed to her and he
got down on one knee and she posted that she
was engaged and it was all happy times. Now, just
the other day she's posted herself down on one knee
proposing to her already existing fiance, and everyone's kind of like,
hold on, do we have deja vue?
Speaker 1 (18:07):
I thought you were already engaged.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
She's decided that she wanted to propose back to her
partner to really solidify that she felt the same about
him as what he felt about her, and to kind
of like create this equality in the relationship. The question
is is absolutely ridiculous. Is it worth like the like
I mean, the reason that someone would do it. Is
it even worth having to like reciprocate a proposal, because
(18:31):
I kind of think that's like saying yes to it
is the reciprocation.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
It is you've.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Already agreed to it. I don't, to be honest, care
that much about this, but I understand that our job
is to care. I do find it unusual that the
internet is caring so much, like it was the.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Comments more so, like people in the comments are like
like some.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
People were like, yes, Queen, I love this for you,
like f yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Girl, parent other people who are like stand up, queen,
what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (18:54):
What are you doubt of you? Well?
Speaker 3 (18:56):
I also watched the video and he gets down on
his knees immediately, Like it's quite awkward to watch. But
you know what, who are wety yuck? Anyone's yum. But
I don't understand the point of it, Like, like you said, Laura,
saying yes, is you reciprocating and agreeing to that union.
Maybe he just wanted to ring. Maybe he'd brought it
up that he would love for her to propose back.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I don't know what. Maybe they needed some content for Instagram.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Maybe it's working. Maybe they need to be pushed back
into the public eye like a bit of pr or something.
But there's nothing wrong with a woman proposing. We've got
a woman in this room, producer Grace, who proposed.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Produce a Grace proposed back.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
You literally did this, but your situation is a little
bit different.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (19:33):
So, I my wife proposed to me a couple of
years ago, and then I had a ring also coming,
and I decided I wanted to propose back. But it
was more so because she wanted to ring as well,
and I also kind of wanted the experience of proposing.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Can I say, It really takes the stress out of it,
doesn't it. You know that they're going to say yes. Well,
I guess that, like, I don't have to worry too
much about this.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
One of the best low stax questions I've ever asked.
So how do you ask? Do you say? Will you
still marry me?
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Like? What's what's the question?
Speaker 7 (20:00):
I think we kind of like we kind of played
into the fact that it was a little bit ridiculous.
We were already engaged, and I did the fool like
will you marry me?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
It was very romantic but also very chill.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Imagine she was like, no, that's awkward.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I've actually changed my bab What if you're trying to
like proposal top, Like, if you know, if the second
one's better than the first one, do you then like
use that against them for the rest of your marriage?
Speaker 7 (20:19):
I mean healthy, it would have been used against me,
I think. But I didn't do that. I just wanted
to for chill. I was like, we're already engaged.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
That's yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
I didn't post it. It was just for us. Oh,
it was just real.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah, it's weird in this day and age. That is bizarre.
I can't correlate to that at all.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Laura, Before I ask you this question, can you just
put this to bed for me? Is it pronounced a
Betha or a beza?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Isn't it a Betha?
Speaker 3 (20:43):
I don't know, Okay, Piza whatever, Well, they're two different things.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I don't think that's what we're going to talk about though.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
No we're not. But I wanted to get it right
before I told you the story. But we don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Thanks for making me look stupid on the radio. Okay, Well, this.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Is a story set in Abitha. Now there's a restaurant
over there coming under fire. For something that they put
onto a bill they charged some tourists. These this couple
went to this nice restaurant. They sat down, the waitress
came over, was very lovely, put the napkin on them,
and then said can I take your bag and hang
it up for you? She says no, do you know what,
(21:17):
I'm okay, like it can stay here, And the waitress
was apparently like quite pushy for it, like no, it's okay,
like it's just just easier like whatever. So after had
a couple pushing, they agreed and said, okay, it's okay,
like hang it up anyway. The bill comes out and
on the bill is a charge which says gant show boyser,
(21:40):
which is eighteen dollars. Now gant show boyser means bag hook.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
So they got.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Charged eighteen dollars to hang the bag up. Did they
want to hang up?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Did they get to take the bag hook home? Did
they purchase it? They take the whole bag hook?
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Yeah, well it's not included normally. But they complained and
they're like, sorry, what we didn't A. You never said
that there was a charge. B. We didn't want to
do it, like you pushed us into it and it
became this big thing, so much so that like the
boss of the restaurant and the manager came out and
said that if it makes you feel better, you can
keep the hook.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Why wouldn't they.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Just refund the bag charge? Do you know what they
did that too?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
I went to a Betha when I was in my twenties,
and one thing though I did find super surprising is
that you know, when you go to the nightclubs, the
bottles of water are so expensive. This is going back
years and years ago, and at costlate twelve euro for
a bottle of water, that was it. And they put
salt water in all of the taps so that when
you wash your hands, you can't just refill your bottle
(22:41):
of water. You've got to go and buy another bottle
of water. Because yeah, I mean we can all probably
read between the lines as to why water sells really well.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
And I Betha, Okay, yeah, well I do want to say,
because I don't want to get in trouble, so I
don't want to get this restaurant in trouble. The manager
did say, look, it was a mistake. We enter that
inn as a reminder to give you back your bag,
and we don't know how there was.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
An amount of money.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Yeah, but whatever I'm pulling.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
You can't slam them, but I mean I can.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
I think everyone's had like those little daylight robbery moments
where you go to pay the bill and you're like,
I'm sorry, what is.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
That I got charged?
Speaker 3 (23:12):
The other day? Speaking of I get a coffee. My
coffee order is a soy cappuccino with a little squidge
of honey dash like instead of a sugar, I just
put a little of honey in.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
A dollar fifty for a squeeze of honey. You squeeze
of honey. Oh my god, daylight robbery.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Daylight robbery, daylight robbery. And you know what I think
I'm going to start doing. I don't know if this
is classified as theft. I might put the order in
and pay and then say, oh sorry, I forgot to
add the honey, and then they just couldn't be bothered
to charge yourself squad.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
But I imagine if they were like, sorry, you always
one dollar fifty, could you please have your card again?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
I mean, look, I get it usually. And also I don't.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Want to come from cafes and whatnot, like they're out
there trying to run it honest business and make a
dollar on the one time that it did spring me
is a bit of a surprise. I was at a
cafe with a group of girlfriends, and this was when
I just had my daughter Marley, made a tiny baby,
and I'd transferred her from breastfeeding onto formula. So we
were all there having lunch and I'd asked if I
could get a tiny bit of hot water that I
(24:09):
could put into her bottle to warm her bottle up.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
And then the bill came and on there was a
charge for the hot water. I was like, I can't remember.
It was like a three dollar charge for hot water.
And I was like, surely not, surely it's just no,
of course not. I just paid it now. I complained
about it on radio.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Hey, we have Jordan on the line. Jordan, what did
you get stung for?
Speaker 8 (24:31):
Hello? I took my three kids to go see a
live show and they of course wanted a snow cone.
That alone was twenty six dollars for a snow cone.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
And the ice, yeah, it is a bit of quarter on.
Speaker 8 (24:43):
The top in a fancy cup at least. And then
the lady said to me, would you like a spoon
with that? And I said yes, and she charged me
six dollars to buy the spoon.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Oh my god, the twenty six dollars of ice didn't
even come with a way to eat it.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
No, where were you?
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Like, don't don't naven shame, but like, no, dude, like
is this it?
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Are you?
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Like a fair?
Speaker 2 (25:05):
No?
Speaker 8 (25:06):
Like like a live show, like at like an entertainment center.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
That doesn't surprise me because anytime I've taken the kids
to a concert or something, you know, you go, I
think might have been.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
No, I don't know. It was a Wiggles.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
It was some sort of kid's concert and they have
those like light up lighty toys, so you wait in
line forever and then you buy. It's like a piece
of junk that they can like spin around in the concert.
And we got to the front of the line and
I bought it, and I thought the number that was
next to the light up toy was the number saying
like what number item it was because it didn't have
a didn't have.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
A dollar sign. It just said two numbers and.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
It was fifty dollars each for this little stupid wizzy.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Anyway, whatever do you know? Robbery?
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Do you just reminded me of something I haven't thought
about until now. I remember being at this fancy restaurant
and the way it came over, and I remember saying, like,
what do you recommend? That's like not too heavy. I
just want that something like a little bit extra. And
I think you were there, Laura, and he came over
and he said, do you know what I recommend? He's like,
it's very light, it's fresh. He's like, we have a
beautiful shaved ice.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Do you remember?
Speaker 3 (26:08):
And then I tried to keep it in in my head.
I was like, of course it's light, it's water. And
I was like, oh, the shaved ice. And I was like,
how much is that? He was like twenty seven dollars.
I was like, interesting, I think I'll go for the salad.
I could not believe it anyway, Absolutely wild and in
the words of Laura Burn's grammar daylight Robbery, it is
time for USK on cut now. This is something we
(26:28):
do every single week on our podcast. Life Uncut podcast
is where you guys ride in and call up with
your problems. We do our best to answer them. And
we have a range of problems like from the big,
the dark, the heavy, to like the light and funny.
Today's one is about a clinging X. We have Sadie
on the line. Sadie, you're having a problem with your
partner's clinging X.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Is that right?
Speaker 5 (26:49):
That's right. We're having an issue with a snapchat streak
that she doesn't want to let go of.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
So what's just to be clear, what's a snapchat streak?
It's like that you communicate X amount of days in
a row or something.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
Yeah, so when you send a photo to each other
each day, you then get a number. So say you've
got number three, Well, then you've been snapchatting each other
for three.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Days, gotcha?
Speaker 2 (27:08):
So how many days have they been snapchatting each other for?
And also how long ago did they break up?
Speaker 5 (27:12):
Probably more importantly two years ago and this streak was
like six hundred and eighty days.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Okay, but that doesn't make any sense. Have they been
just doing this the whole time that they've been broken
up they've still been snapchatting? Or is it a case
that they did it in the past and she's just
kept this streak alive.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
I don't understand how it works.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
I assume they've broken up, not how to streak and
then restarted it when they kind of became friendly again.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
And this is your current partners and his ex.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
Yep, this is my current partner's ex partner.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
This is so weird.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Obviously you can't control what she does, but have you
talked to your boyfriend about it?
Speaker 1 (27:46):
What did he say?
Speaker 5 (27:47):
So, we've just moved into our new home. We've moved
out of the home they owned together, and the general
kind of idea was once we move out, house is settled,
where I'm just gonna distance myself kind of get rid
of the streak, which she did, and she decided to
restore it, which I had no idea he would do.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
So does that mean that he's also still engaging or
can it be one way?
Speaker 8 (28:08):
So?
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Is she just messaging him and he's not responding or
is he snapping back?
Speaker 5 (28:12):
So he wasn't replying to any of the snaps. And
when the streak has died, she's paid to restore the streak.
It's then diet for the second time, and then she's
again restored it again just with him not like him
not snapchatting her, and she just keeps paying.
Speaker 7 (28:26):
To restore it.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (28:28):
It sounds very weird and obviously she has something going on.
That she maybe hasn't resolved or isn't over. But it
doesn't like but it does sound like your partner's doing
all the right things. It sounds like he's not engaging,
he's not replying. So there is no way that you're
going to be able to control what she does.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Yeah, but you can control him or opening them like
he does. Just because she's sending them doesn't mean he
has to open them and have a look at them,
have that connection.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Are I opening them though? Or is he just like
this is weird? What's he doing?
Speaker 5 (28:53):
I think he's opening them and then just leaving them.
But then she messaged both of us saying, you know,
wasn't fair that that was in the conversation, had that
he wanted to delete the streak and stuff and that.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
So.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
You had me hook line and sinker for this convo.
This is she's she's crazy, she's crazy. He needs to
block her.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
His re partner too. So I'm kind of like, how
would your finer feel about this?
Speaker 3 (29:17):
No, he needs to just block her, Like you can't
be holding onto your past like that, you've sold houses,
moved on, You're moving with you people like you are
so far moved on. If she's that unhinged that she's
messed like it's almost embarrassing in childhood, like to message
you and be like, you should have told me if
you wanted to break our snapchat streak. That is the
weirdest thing I've ever heard on the show.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
I've actually messaged both of us and kind of had
a dig at both of us, saying that we're disrespectful
and you know, like I thought we were all friends
kind of thing. And it's kind of like, just leave
us alone, let us move on, like, you know, just
like let us be.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
I find this so confusing.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
I feel like everyone who's listening to this now is
gonna be like, what, I'm.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Too old for this. I don't understand it. I've never
had Laura.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Everyone's too old for this. This isn't an age limit thing.
She feels like, really childish behavior. I would be telling
him to I mean, this is up to him, and
it's on him. He needs to disengage from her, Like
by opening them, he's encouraging it.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Like whether he's to see that, he's seen it one
hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
She knows that it's a funnel to him. It's still
that that connection in this little like secret little tunnel
that she's got to him. It's the last form of
connection he needs to if he respects and values you.
In my opinion, he just needs to end that. Like
he can block her, he can unfriend her, he can
do whatever. But like, just so you know, it's weird.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
It's a control thing on her side of things, I think,
and I'm just like, you need to cut that last.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Heeather, I mean, snapat kiss, set a snapchat back if
you guys like get engaged or something.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Oh, I go, let us know how it goes. But
I do think it's a pretty clear and easy one.
I do think that your partner has to take a
little bit of responsibility and.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Make it very clear that the streak is no more.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
No more streaks, no more streaks, No thanks sa.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
Britt.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Big exciting things are happening in my household tonight. It
actually is big and exciting.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
It really, I mean, I'm excited. I don't know if
anyone else is going to be, but I'll share it
with you anyway. Look, my daughter, she's six, her name
is Marley, and we are taking her to her very
first concert to go and see Alex Warren. Who I mean,
you guys, will know the song if you don't know
the name. He sings massive songs like this one, Oh
bang on amazing. Well, look, Marley is ground zero of
(31:30):
like the Alex Warren obsession in our household.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
So she came home from school this one day and
she was like, Mommy, I heard this song that's gonna
play at my wedding. And I was like, what are
you talking about?
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Red flags?
Speaker 1 (31:42):
She was literally five at the time.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Are you like, hang on, who are you married?
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:45):
No, I know who she's marrying. That that love affair
has been going on for a little while. She's had
a boyfriend since kindergarten. Wow, starts young like nothing, It's
like innocent.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
So we need to change his break. It's not how
young is it? Can you go to a concert?
Speaker 6 (31:57):
How young?
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Can you have a boyfriend? Get married?
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Anyway, he has a song that's called Carry You Home,
and she's obsessed with it. Right, and he's come to Australia.
He's actually performing all around and tickets to his concerts
sold out in literally a hot second. I think they're local,
like our local concert. The tickets it's sold out within
ten minutes.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
So we went. Now, that's not the big like Olympic Stadium.
He's like smaller.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
I reckon he would have sold that out anyway.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Honestly, it went so quick, but I really wanted to
take Marley, and then we had the opportunity of interviewing
him on the show. So we beg borrowed and stole
and I'm able to take her.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
She's coming.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
I'm only putting you on the radio.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Give me his tickets, Give my daughter, my six year
old daughter a ticket to go.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Okay, So this is my question though, Like it's an
all ages concert, right, but it's not. The venue isn't
particularly an all ages venue. Like there's no seats, it's standing.
There'll be a mosh pit, and I'm taking it.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
I don't think Alex Warren has a mosh pit.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
It's not Metallica.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
It's not like a mosh is in like everyone jumping,
but there will be like a lot of people standing.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Marley's just crowdsurfing.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Should we light and easy to throw on? Should I
get that chrial?
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Do you think?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Firstly, do you think six is too young to take
a kid to a concert? And also how old were
you at your first concert? And do you even remember
my first I think I was like mid twenties.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
Yes, I live a sheltered life. Yes, I didn't go
to a concert young at all. At Wiggles.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
There's a lot wrong with tonight, Like only four weeks
five weeks off having a baby, and I'm taking a
six year old to a concert.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
What's wrong?
Speaker 3 (33:22):
I used to go to the theater as a child.
If that sets the tone for who we were, yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
It really does. My mom plays a lot. My mom
used to do theater and we used to go watch her.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
I think, look, how young is too young? It depends
on the sixt No, it depends on the concept for starters.
Alex Warren is very innocent, like he's not a swearer,
He's not rude and crude, He's not not like he's
about love songs. He's got the number one wedding song
in the.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
World right now, you know.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
But I did see him on stage the other day
and he did throw a few f bombs around. I
think it is going to be slightly less age appropriate
than what I might have thought originally.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Is it the Wiggles.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
No, I think the problem is just like getting her
out for the length of the concert. I almost feel
like you're probably off to let her hear those songs
that she loves, like you go for the carry Me
Home her wedding song, and you go for the ordinary
and then her last in an entire concert. Standing up
in a wash pit might be too late. That we're
not staying there for the on call, that's for sure.
But I remember going like so, I remember my first
(34:14):
ever concert. My mum took me and my sister to
Silverchair and how old I was so little?
Speaker 1 (34:20):
I think I must have been ten, ten or eleven,
except I never actually saw Silverchair. We went, it was
very exciting. We saw like the warm up band, and.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Then I fell asleep in her lap and so she
watched Silverchair and I slept in my mum's lap whilst
it was on. Okay, so you're too young, you're too young.
I'm worried that's going to be like a retake of that.
And I've kind of like I wanted to do this.
I thought that she would really love it, and now
that it's here, I'm wondering whether I really just bit
off a bit more than I can chew.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
I just remembered my first concert. Actually it was Robbie Williams,
and I worked it as security and I wish I
was joking, I wish you are eighteen yep, And I
was security, me tiny little squiggly thing, but it was
my only way to get ticket to seem so I
had to pretend our security. Sorry, I'm not stopping anyone
from getting into that concert.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
I was like that, it's more so the fact that
you got into going to concert so late. Now for
Port mac.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Quarry, Oh that's right, No one goes, no one does anything, Britt.
When was the last time you went.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
To a concert?
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Oh tee swizzy?
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Yet no, no, you went to do a leaper?
Speaker 3 (35:21):
And I, yeah, I think I know what you're gonna say.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
What am I going to say?
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Are we talking about leaving early? Well?
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Did you?
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Because I I always do? Okay, how early do you
leave from a concert?
Speaker 3 (35:31):
I leave early enough that there is no battle to
get out, like I'm significantly like a couple of songs,
which means I probably missed a song or two and
I missed the OnCore and don't come for me. I
know that's bad, but I could think of nothing worse
than being in like that swarm of people that can't
walk and can't move in a fighting for public transport
so I always like make my beeline.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
But it is a question, isn't it, Because there are
two types of people. There are the people that will
stay for the on core. They will chant, they will
stamp their feet until the very last until like the
have been turned on. It's so evident that no one
is coming back out so here it is dragged, they
will stay there.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
And then there's the people that are like, it's.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Three songs, shy, I'm going to get out of here
because I don't want to hit the rush right, So
we left early.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Last night we went to Alex Warren with my daughter
and we left early.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
But that's because she's six and she was very tired,
and a cranky six year old at a concert is
not No. I don't recommend it. Actually, I reckon probably
wait until kids are ten. Six is a bit young fair,
let'son learn. But we talked about this a couple of
weeks ago. So we were talking about on the show.
You guys might remember millennials and like things that we
used to do back in the day, like going out
to the club wearing tiny dresses, dancing in high heel shoes,
(36:37):
and how gen ZEDs now will wear baggy pants, they
will wear joggers, we'ld never you know what, They're not
even drinking. A lot of them are alcohol free. It's
just a different time. It's a time that's based on wellness.
It's a time that's based on eight hours sleep, and
it's also based on wearing watches, the track everything.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
So it turns out that apparently brit.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
You are indeed more like a gen z because gen
z eds are more incl to leave a concert early
because they want to prioritize their wellness, prioritize their sleep,
and a millennial is more inclined to be the person
who's there holding on to the very end with the
lights on, because we want to suck every second out
of that moment of enjoyment at the concert.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
So interesting, because well, no, it is. When I think
about it, I actually went to an extreme. I'm going
to tell you I was embarrassing. But there are a
few people that I would never leave early. For example,
Taylor Swift, I couldn't possibly have slept if I went
home and she did some surprise songs like I was
there to the end. For that, I will do it
one hundred times over. But for example, when it's someone
(37:37):
then like, I'm keen to see and it's fun and
I'm loving it, but I'm not obsessed with them. So
for Jua Lipa, I had googled her set list and
I have the whole list, so I know exactly how
much I'm missing out on and what I'm missing out on,
and that's when I make the decision of how many
songs I can leave early. And it's brilliant because I
was like, oh, I didn't actually know the last song
(37:57):
very well, didn't care for it, knew that I could
get out quicker, and so I did.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
I'm not the most grandparent thing I've ever heard you say.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
I'm an old song that the only.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Reason why you google the set list is to know
that you're doing miss out on anything and you could.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
In fact leave.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
But you can't do that with Taylor because sometimes Taylor
puts surprise songs in No But do.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
You know what I was I was reading this.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
I was so there's an article that was written about
how pillennials will hold on to the very end, stay
there and suck every inch out of that concert. And
the reason why is because half of them are moms.
They're just they're so thrilled to get a night off
one hundred pers. I don't mind if they get stuck
in the car bar for an hour and a half.
They're just happy to be out of their own home.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
Do you know, Oh, you just got me excited. Do
you know who's coming here soon? One of my favorite artists,
Lewis Capaldi. Lewis Capaldi, He's coming to Australia and I'm
putting this out to the universe now because he's going
to sell out like a hotcake. So I need to
get those two guys.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Who are you putting it out to the universe? But
I or Wanner's music or who else listening?
Speaker 6 (38:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
But he is someone else that I would never dream
of leaving early, like I am locked and loaded into that.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
I mean, normally I would say, I'm just past the
point in my life where I want to late night.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
I want to wake up in the morning and feel fresh.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
But the last concert you went to, remember you wet
your pants and I went down into your boy.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Did I went to Blink one A two when I
bused myself, I'd believing to Laura, I'd.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
Believe right away, alright, No, I didn't leave early.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
I love Blink one it too.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
Anyway, now everybody parents around the country strapping.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
We have made it to the end.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
We have finally come to the close of bookweek and
thank the Lord. You say this, Okay, I'm the one
that had to come up with a different outfit every
day for Lola this week because tat's off to you
and it well, school and preschool are very different. If
your kids go to school, they usually have a book day.
If your kids go to preschool and kids are gone
on all different days, they're dressing up every day. So
(39:45):
we've had a lot of outfits this week. But Lola,
my four year old, really went out on a questionable high.
Questionable because she didn't go with a kid's book, but
also a high because I kind of love the little
inner fashion Easta that is my Lola. So she woke
up this morning and she was supposed to go as
an astronaut. It had been planned. We had my first
Planet book out, she was ready. We really sat on
(40:07):
the side of the bed and then we had a
full blown four year old meltdown because she had a
change of mind. Recently, she's become quite in love with
another book that she's been going.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
To bed with every night.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
It's just not particularly age appropriate. So we've spoken about
Fashion Critical before on this show. Fashion Critical. She is
an anomally.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
I was about to say, but she's anonymous.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
She's a fashion critic who has amassed such a following
online by critiquing celebrities fashion choice that she has critiqued
us many times, given us a serve from time to time.
She's also sometimes very complimentary. But recently she just brought
out a book. It's called Fashion Critical. Red Carpet Looks
Lolls from an Undercover Fashion Critic. Now, this book has
been sitting in Lola's bed for the past week and
(40:49):
a half.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
She looks at it every day. She's quite obsessed with
some of the pages.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
And today she woke up and decided that was the
book she was taking to book Week, and she put
together her best look she could possibly do.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
Do you know what it's?
Speaker 3 (41:02):
First of all, I was like, it's surprising that she's
chosen that book and she's become obsessed with it, But
is it actually that surprising. It's a book of women
dressed up in beautiful dresses and outfits, Like I imagine,
it's actually quite a colorful, addictive, kind of a book
for a four or five.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
Ye yeah, well, and she's also a fashion queen. What
we do have she hasndies on her head, she does.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
We have the fashion critical here because we thought what
other better way of ending the week after a week
of book week costumes than to have fashion critical herself
take a five critique my daughter's book week outfit.
Speaker 9 (41:32):
Oh, welcome to the show, ladies. This is a career
high for me. I've reached nirvana.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
I know you've critiqued Hardy klam and like Beyonce and
some of the real big stars. Also pretty hocoy Lola bet. Really,
I think she should be up there. She should have featured.
Speaker 9 (41:47):
She's best on ground and I won't hear a bad
word said against her.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
I've always been her a little bog.
Speaker 9 (41:52):
Okay, she's picked a great, beautiful pink childress.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
It's gorgeous.
Speaker 9 (41:56):
She's got a lovely pink park on it matches dress
pefortly great. But what I love about this is the
detail she's painted her nails red. The red matches the
cover of the book. She has received no toes violation,
her toes of cupboard. She's got gorgeous little glittery Mary
Jane her hair's done beautifully. It's the details that make
the outfit. And I have heard and I don't know
if this is true, I'm going to need it about
(42:16):
for it. She didn't use a stylist for this look.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
She's self styled.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
She is self styled. She recently discovered that being a
stylist is actually a job. My oldest wants to be
famous and my youngest wants to style her, so they've
like slipped into their careers very young.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
I mean, that's perfect. What a combo.
Speaker 9 (42:30):
Well, I'm telling you, the girl's got talent. I can
see it. You can see it. All of Australia can
see it. And I'm extremely impressed and I look forward
to watching her fashion evolution over the years.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
So fashion critical, What would you love to see next
from Lola look?
Speaker 9 (42:46):
I would love to see a gala look. I think
she's gone with Yeah, she's gone with it, you know,
an age appropriate sort of evening look. It's very cute
at very girly. I'd like to see something quite avant garde,
something quite out there, a bit of a more stick
sort of take on fashion. So if you could brief
her on that. I look forward to to saying that
that would be lovely and maybe you know, we've seen
(43:07):
a lot of playing with with gender bending, you know,
so the women wearing quite androgynous looks men wearing skirts,
so perhaps she can she could explore that life.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
I love this because she did want to dress up
as Batman, so she like has that dialed.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
I think she will pull that off.
Speaker 3 (43:19):
She's she's quite like an accessorizer. How do you feel
about I mean, she's in this trend of like she
likes to put underwear on her head, like that's her accessory,
and for some boundaries she doesn't want to take it off.
She she wants to go for a walk and the
undies are over ahead. Her ears come out like little
Koyala's what do you think about that?
Speaker 5 (43:35):
Do you know what? You know?
Speaker 9 (43:38):
Trends are trends and that's not no no, Well I
was going to say, I don't really care for trends,
but you know, true style is choosing something that perhaps
other people don't understand.
Speaker 5 (43:50):
And.
Speaker 9 (43:52):
It doesn't mean it's not stylish. It doesn't mean she's
not an artist. You know, she's a visionary. And as
I said, I won't hear a bad word said against
her or her style choices, and if she's wearing underwear
on her head, then I urge you to look to
the catwalks of Milan and Paris this summer, because I
can guarantee you we're going to see that on the catwalks.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
I tell you fashion critical.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
We went to Cans recently and she spent the entire
day wearing fish neck gloves and a pair of fluffy earmusks.
Speaker 3 (44:20):
I I love it.
Speaker 1 (44:21):
You live your best life, girlfriend.
Speaker 9 (44:23):
Honestly, I don't care about what the weather is. You
wear what you want to wear. The weather's got nothing
to do with it.
Speaker 5 (44:29):
You keep going.
Speaker 1 (44:30):
Can I just ask, though, did you ever envisit your
new book as being a.
Speaker 9 (44:34):
Kid's Honestly I didn't. I really really didn't. And to
be fair, it's not out to October, so it's not
available to the common people yet they.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
Can pre order it.
Speaker 9 (44:42):
But you received was not common Poppy.
Speaker 1 (44:45):
We got an advance of power. She didn't even realize
how special she was.
Speaker 9 (44:48):
She's got one of only maybe thirty copies in circulation
at the moment.
Speaker 1 (44:52):
She will be thrilled.
Speaker 9 (44:54):
Yeah, so perhaps next book week, maybe we'll see more.
But this is definitely the first, it's not a children's book,
but you're absolutely right, Britt, it is full of beautiful,
colorful pictures, and actually, why not. I don't think I've
dropped the F bomb that many times, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (45:08):
I hope I actually haven't read an No cares what.
Speaker 9 (45:13):
The words say. It's all about the pictures. It's all
about the pictures.
Speaker 2 (45:16):
Thank god she can't read it anyway. Fashion Critical always
a pleasure. Thanks for joining us, Thank you, good luck
with the book.
Speaker 3 (45:21):
Thank you, love, thank you,
This episode was recorded on Cameragle Land.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Hi guys, and welcome back to another episode of Life
on Cut. I'm Laura, I'm Brittany, and this is it's
actually not Life on Cut. It's the Pickup. It's our
radio show, Britney. Stop banging your microphone around.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
It wasn't ready. I didn't even have my e phones on,
my headphones on.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
I mean, you never have your headphones.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
It's my birthday week. What about you can't come for me?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Sorry? Sorry it is it was your birthday week. This
is the pickup.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
It's where we package up all the best bits from
our Nash'll not rady s.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Will we play them here for you this week?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Can I just say I did really control myself on
the pod because I didn't talk about book Week.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
And all I've done.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
For the last several weeks of my life is talk
about Bookweek. We've been talking about it on radio and
non stop. And this is the thing, right, And I
know I've said this before, but if you have a
kid in school, you do book Week is one day,
so you just get one costume. But if your kid
is in preschool, every single day of the week is
book week, and so you have to come up with
a different outfit.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
It does make sense some.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Kids get left out because some kids might only got
a day here on a Tuesday, you know what I'd say, Friday.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Soon as you lose, like suck it up. I think
you have to just make it fair. Like they didn't
know that miss down and they weren't there.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
So Lola had lots of costumes this week because she
obviously had something different every day. But she had one
very I don't want to say questionable and like go
off queen. Yes, you be you and you lean into
what you're passionate about. She was supposed to go as
an astronaut on the last day of school, but she
had a little quick swap and change and the book
that she chose may not be age appropriate. Yes, there
(01:33):
may be swear words in it, but I didn't realize
that until we had Fashion Critical herself on the show
and she was reviewing Lola's outfit her book week costume.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I think she can live a best life. I think
it was cute. I don't I think the astronaut was boring.
She lent in too who she really is.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
No, she walked into the shower this morning, so like
Matt had got her dressed in the astronaut outfit, and
you would think that she was just like, you know,
being murdered or like held against her will. She came
in bawling her eyes out, did not want to wear
the US not and was so keen on doing this
like fashion critical look that she'd put together.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
It's like, girlfriend, you're four good honor live your best life.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Well.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I had a conversation this week of probably one of
my favorite conversations we've ever had is machine Gun Kelly
related to Aliens.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I'm not sure if this is the.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Worst radio we've ever done or BRIT's like I was,
I loved it so much.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I just can't get behind alien chat.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
But you're we're dear friends. Must I get behind Goes
you don't get behind like the Manifestation, you don't get
behind Aliens. I'm into that kind of stuff because it's
like I don't necessarily have to believe it, but I
find it fascinating and I love hearing people's stories.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Now I get behind the Manifestation stuff more.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I'm a bit of a skeptic, and also even the
ghosts I've come around too.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
But then every year you come out with You're like,
now we're gonna talk about aliens whatever.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
I just want to explore the world and know what's possible.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Well, I did have to drag brid out of the
corner and take the tin fall hat off her head.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I still anyway, let's get into it, Laura.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I feel like Leonardo DiCaprio. We grew up with him
being he was a bit older than us, but he
was the heartthro of he was. He was the one
that you would stick on your wall as a poster,
like you know.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
When he saw him, and also Hanson, so yeah, oh.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yeah, Hanson. But he was like, I don't know, he
was of our time, I guess, And I think he's probably,
for me, one of the most controversial people at the
moment in Hollywood. And I don't know whether to love
him or hate him. You know how he always gets
his controversy about dating younger women.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Well, he went from being I mean, do you remember
him in Romeo and Juliet. He was so young, he
couldn't do anything wrong, he was so hot. No, then
everyone the beach like he was just beautiful, and then
me and the beach was like that lives around for him.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
He really was.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
He was a beautiful, beautiful man, and then everyone wanted
to date him. And then somehow he went from being
this beautiful heart throb to being a cringy old dude
who's now dates nineteen year old kids.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
So believe it or not, that much time has gone
past that. He has just turned fifty, so he's in
his fifty birthday. Leo, Well, it was last year, but
he's kicked off the internet's kick again because people he
became a bit of a butt of all the jokes.
The oldest woman he's ever dated is his current girlfriend
right now, who is twenty seven years old. And we've
spoken about him and we've had laughs on the podcasts
(04:11):
on the radio show before about the fact that like
he was dating twenty year olds as like forty eight
year olds, and we're all for the age gap. It's fine,
but not when it's a bit becomes a bit predatory
and like when it's your mo on repeat.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I mean, to be fair, I have no issue with
a fifty year old dating a twenty seven year old.
I have an issue with like a forty eight year
old dating a nineteen year old. For you, especially when
that is your only type and you're only dating people
who are under twenty two or something.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Well, that's gross.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
He's kids off the internet again. So he just did
an interview with one of his directors, Paul Thomas Anderson,
and this was for Esquire. You know Esquire magazine.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yeah, I'm super familiar with that. I read it all
the time, famous favorite maga.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
I'm telling you because I know it's a very famous magazine.
So basically, during the interview, he was asked, if you
didn't know how old you are, how old are you
right now? So, like, how old do you feel in
this moment age taken away? And he replied that he
feels thirty two. But then he went another step and
he said, but emotionally max thirty five. That's what he's saying.
(05:13):
So he's fifty and he feels like he's in.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
His early thirties. And I think that that that gives
me the ac Well.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
People are coming for him, like, so you know, this
is why you're only dating younger girls in your twenties
and blah blah blah. It's like another reason for them
to hate on him.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
But I think the reason why people are coming for
him is because people when I first read that, and
I've seen it going viral on socials and stuff. I
thought he meant it in reference to his dating life.
I didn't realize the question that made him answer that.
I kind of feel a bit sorry for him, because
that feels like a little bit of a setup.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
He just answered.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
He just answered, honestly, he's like, I'm fifty, but I
feel thirty five, and emotionally I feel like this, and
people are like, well, that's why you're date nineteen year olds.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
But I get it.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I actually really feel what he's saying. And I think
when I was younger, and I remember my parents saying
the same thing, like I remember my parents being I
think it was their fortieth or fiftieth, and I remember
them saying like, I still feel twenty one, like you age,
but inside you don't feel the age you are. And
I feel like that now. I'm thirty eight this week,
(06:11):
and I if you ask me how old I feel,
I'm constantly being like I'm not ready for kids, like
I'm too young, and it's because of course I'm almost
aged out. I'm a geriatic pregnancy at this point, you're
not aside, no, like my eggs are almost aged out,
not me like physically not but the age, but I
feel twenty eight. I'd almost take ten years off what
my age is, and I don't know what that is.
(06:32):
I don't know if that's because I don't have the
responsibility of kids and I am living this like this
life with a lot of freedom and spontaneity. I don't
know what it is, but I feel for him because
I get it. I was like, I do, how old
you're like it?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I also date down and age I do. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I'm currently five weeks from having a baby, and I
genuinely feel like I have a head hanging out of me.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
I'm so uncomfortable at this point.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
No, I don't actually how you feel.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I mean I'm old.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Well, yeah, I would say I feel I feel old.
I feel like my body hurts, my back hurts, my
hips hurt, my everything hurts.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
You're the opposite, you feel like, yeah, I'm like fifty.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I'm like like, yeah, I'm having a hard time.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
But I would say that it's only because I'm in
this very specific stage of pregnancy, like third trimester, asking someone, so,
how old do you feel?
Speaker 1 (07:16):
When I haven't been for a walk.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Longer than six hundred meters in about six weeks probably doesn't.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Really equate to feeling my best.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I mean, it's that old adage, right, like you're only
as old as you feel. My mum says that my
nan said it until she was eighty six, but like
you know, it t really is. It's you're only as
old as you feel, unless you Leonardo and you're dating
twenty seven year olds, and then you're as old as
the media says you are.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
All right, Well, anyway, let's give Lenado a break.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Nah, I think he's fine. I think he's all right.
I reckon, he's fair game.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I know that you don't want to talk about this, Laura,
but I am so excited to talk about machine gun Kelly. Actually,
I think he just goes by machine now. I think
we just call him machine. He dropped the rest of it. Anyway.
He has come out and said that he thinks it's
a possibility that his dad is an alien. No, I
know how that sounds straight off the bat bick Craig Cray,
Oh yeah, just.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
A little a little bit of dash of a craig.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
But he's talking about there are some things that happened
to him that he just can't explain.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
How a listen I don't know many facts about my life,
so I don't know. I'm starting to just be like
like my skin, like it that rips open, it heals
really quick, like wow. There's just things where I'm starting
to be like, who's my dad?
Speaker 5 (08:21):
You know?
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Do you think that you could be like other world that?
I've asked my mom, I said, any period of time
you went like missing? And what does she say for
like a tall slender you know, creature that right? She
told me she felt like she got abducted at one point.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
No, this sounds like too drunk dudes at a party.
It's two am and they've been there for too long.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
It's Andy Cohen.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
No, I don't know, ru, I don't care. I don't
know who Andy co I know who Andy Cohen is.
But even the like wow, do you think you could
be otherworldly? Like, it's just no.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
No, I think that makes a good interview, to be honest.
He's leaning into where the conversation is going and he's
probing for information. But I think who are we to say?
I think he's joking. No, he's not joking. He's spoken
about it before. He's actually got like an album song
video for one of his songs that's about aliens, I
think because if you look at him, people have likened
(09:12):
him in the past to look in alien ish. And
when I say that, it's because, like, you know, how
aliens have the very you know, our of alien.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Who knows what an alien looks like.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I can guarantee you everyone's picturing an alien right now.
And it's the head that's like the inverted triangle. That's
what the shape of the head. And they're tall and skinny.
Every alien show you've ever seen looks.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Like That doesn't mean that that's because actually what aliens
look like, it's just because it's being made up.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
But who are we to say they don't exist? I
know you're a bit of a skeptic, but like, surely
it is ignorant of us to say that we are
the only species in this universe, knowing how many other
planets there are.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
All I've taken from this entire show today is that
Britt just really wants to talk alien stories, and I
think it's.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Just way too worry.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
But when you know how many planets there are, like,
why do you think you're the only one?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I don't think I'm the only one. But I also
just don't believe in No, I don't.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Well, I'm sure there could be something, But do I
think that they're arriving here in ships and flying around?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
And I know I don't.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I just so you think there is something in another life,
I need to say it.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I don't care enough to have an opinion.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Well, it's your job to have an opinion. I'm asking you.
Do you think that there is life on another planet?
Speaker 6 (10:22):
No?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yes, but not in the form of alien know, because
I don't think If I'm going to be honest, I mean,
I think it's a silly conversation, but I don't think
it's in the form that we make it out in
like et and movies. I think that there's probably some
microorganism that would indicate that there's life on a planet,
but I don't think it's in the way in which
sci fi films lead us to believe.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
It's boring. Okay, well, anyway, let's go to Wendy. Wendy
tell me that you have some sort of alien UFO encounter.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
Yes, I do, but I just wanted to put it
out there that I did not get probe.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
That was first question.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Thank goodness for you.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
I didn't get proke and I didn't see any little
green men. So I grew up in Country Victoria, little
farming town. There's a couple of power stations around the area.
Not abnormal for stories to come out around the power stations.
So anyway, when my brother and I were little, we
went out onto the porch, looking out into the paddock,
and above the tree line, probably a couple of paddocks away,
(11:18):
we could see a silver disk and we just couldn't
believe what we were seeing, you know, looking at each
other in absolute disbelief, but more more than anything terror.
So we went inside and got mum. She came outside
to have a look, and by that time it was gone.
But in saying that, she had stories, you know, from
when she was little too, growing up in the areas.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Wait, was it nighttime or daytime when you saw the
disc first?
Speaker 6 (11:39):
So it was dusk, so I was just on duck
And yeah, generally that's the time that they come out.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I just always think it's generally the time they come out.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
When did you become the alien expert?
Speaker 6 (11:50):
You have to be careful what you say sometimes too,
because people think you're crazy or you've got a tinfall
or whatever.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
You have to be careful what you're saying.
Speaker 6 (11:58):
In case the AI is here, I promise you I'm
not seeing it home with my tinfore hat on. But oh,
I really am a believer.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Oh, Wendy, thanks for the call.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
I don't know why I'm admitting to this.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I could just not tell you and then you would start,
then you would think more of me.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
But prepare to me. I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I think there is actually something wrong with me, and
I think there's maybe something wrong with my brain, as in,
I'm very forgetful. I'm a little bit chaotic, but I
tend to lose things pretty easily. Would you agree, brit
I've been lulding. I think this is like a trick question.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Like how many times have I, to be honest, how
many times have I lost the swipe card for this studio?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Let me be honest. You've got ADHD diagnosed AHD. We
all know it.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
You know it.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
We don't love you any less. Like with my dream
day would be when you come, can you be like, hey,
I've decided to.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Get do you know I'll never do it.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I never am going to go through the process of ADHD.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Dynam I just don't want you to be right. I
don't want I don't want to lose that battle.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I'll pretend I'm wrong, but it's for you, no one else.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
What if you left on your room.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
So I have this really bad habit of putting things
on the roof of my car and then just driving.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Away, you know, like everything, small dogs, children, everything, walle
It's like, I don't know why, I don't know how
I managed to do it.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I don't even know I'm doing I put my phone
on there, get in the car driveway.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Because you always have a lot of things in your hands.
The first place to do it to open a car
door is to put something on your roof. So it's
like it happens. It just happens to you an astronomical amount.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
So the other day I was driving to work, so
like I you know, I didn't even know the kids
or anything.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I just put my handbags in the car and stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I got in the car, turned the car on and
I'm driving to work. When you leave, like where we
live brit and then you're going to go to the
other side of the city, there's this one little area
where it goes from I think it's like fifty kilometers
to eighty kilometers, but it's a really short strip of road, right, So.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I speed up and I go down this eighty kilometer
bit of road. I hear this. I was like, what
was that? Even the dog was like, what the hell
was that mole? He's like, Nam, that's a kid on
the road. No we should anyway, I go in trouble.
I can't do.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I pull into my garage and I was like, where
are my car keys? So this is meant to be
a feature of the key, right, Like your car's not
meant to turn on if your keys are not in
the car. So I then spent a good twenty minutes
looking could not find my keys. Can't find them anywhere
on the highway.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I'm not joking.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
My entire car keys, my house keys, my office keys.
I have this, like Janitor, what of keys? I put
them on top of the roof of the car and
I drove to work.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
So then, how do you knowing now that you can't
restart your car because your keys are one hundred cams away?
How do you did you go back and just drive
that road?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I couldn't. I didn't have any keys.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
But then so what did you do? How are you
driving your.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Car was very disappointed if my husband when I called
him and asked if he could come get me and
bring me my spare set of key. So the problem
is I had to admit at this time because normally
I can get away with like driving away with a
coffee cup on.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
The roof or a wallet, or I just.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Don't have to tell people because of the only person
it affects is me. But when you don't have your
car keys to the car that you've just driven to
an entirely different suburb, and also you'd.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Be the sort of person that has your full name
and address on your keys too, so every key that
you've got to everything in your life.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I had a real bone to pick with the car
company because I was like, normally it says your keys
are not in the car, or it gives you some
sort of like warning, but none of that.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I guess on the car is close enough, it probably
has a radius, so it must have just like scooted
it in the radius, because it's like, that's that's pretty
close to being on the car.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
But you would have.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Thought that when it fell off the roof and flew
down the freeway that the car would have gone like
thing something's wrong with the keys on in here? You
threw them out the window, but it didn't anyway.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I had to call my heart, are you blaming the car?
Speaker 3 (15:41):
I feel like you're putting a lot of blame.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Only I was safe.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
If it makes you feel better, I don't do this recurrently.
I have done it once that I can remember. I
don't know how because I was so hungry, but I
left my lunch and a smoothie, like I left my hole.
I went to a cafe, got everything and left it
on the car and I had to drive away and
there was a car beeping me, and it was like
coming up beside me, and I intentionally was ignoring it.
(16:06):
You know how you pull out in front of someone
or something and they're beeping you. So I thought the
person next to me was road raging me. So I
just didn't make eye contact, was looking straight ahead. And
it was only when they like literally wound down and
got in my face that I was like what, and
they were like, your food is with chickens.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I'm alone in this. I think a lot of people
have done it.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Yeah, once, I'll do it a lot a week.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Phones keys wallet, yet to put a living thing on
the roof of the car. But I, thank god, definitely
a culprit. Right now, we have something that we need
to talk about. Do you think it's weird?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Like obviously we all.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Know that the kind of I guess, like the stereotype
is that the guy proposes to the girl in heterosexual relationships,
that's the.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Patriarch, it's the patriot.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
But oh, you know, I think it's a changing a
little bit. Like there are definitely we've spoken about it before.
There are some women who have proposed to their fiancees
or partners.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Oh, there's nothing wrong with it, But I wouldn't say
it's changing that rapidly. I would still state is like
a one percent.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yeah, it's definitely the norm to kind of like wait
until the day that you're Prince Charming, if you're one
has heterosexual relationship, proposes to you, right. So Bella Thorne,
if you don't know who she is, she's an ex
Disney star, she's an actress. She also blew up, like
it literally blew the hell up because of her only fans.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
I think everyone started to she became like more of
a household name. But she holds the record for the
highest earnings in the first week of only Fans, she
made two million dollars within like six days of starting
her only Fans And I'm pretty sure she didn't even
post anything yet. I think she was like signing. People
were like ready for it, ready for it. She didn't
even have to post. Maybe I'll try that good luck.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
All right, Well, look, she's confused people online more so
than anything.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I don't think people. No one's up in arms. People
are just a little bit like I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
So two years ago her partner proposed to her, or
a year ago, her partner proposed to her and he
got down on one knee and she posted that she
was engaged and it was all happy times. Now, just
the other day she's posted herself down on one knee
proposing to her already existing fiance, and everyone's kind of like,
hold on, do we have deja vue?
Speaker 1 (18:07):
I thought you were already engaged.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
She's decided that she wanted to propose back to her
partner to really solidify that she felt the same about
him as what he felt about her, and to kind
of like create this equality in the relationship. The question
is is absolutely ridiculous. Is it worth like the like
I mean, the reason that someone would do it. Is
it even worth having to like reciprocate a proposal, because
(18:31):
I kind of think that's like saying yes to it
is the reciprocation.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
It is you've.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Already agreed to it. I don't, to be honest, care
that much about this, but I understand that our job
is to care. I do find it unusual that the
internet is caring so much, like it was the.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Comments more so, like people in the comments are like
like some.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
People were like, yes, Queen, I love this for you,
like f yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Girl, parent other people who are like stand up, queen,
what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (18:54):
What are you doubt of you? Well?
Speaker 3 (18:56):
I also watched the video and he gets down on
his knees immediately, Like it's quite awkward to watch. But
you know what, who are wety yuck? Anyone's yum. But
I don't understand the point of it, Like, like you said, Laura,
saying yes, is you reciprocating and agreeing to that union.
Maybe he just wanted to ring. Maybe he'd brought it
up that he would love for her to propose back.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I don't know what. Maybe they needed some content for Instagram.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Maybe it's working. Maybe they need to be pushed back
into the public eye like a bit of pr or something.
But there's nothing wrong with a woman proposing. We've got
a woman in this room, producer Grace, who proposed.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Produce a Grace proposed back.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
You literally did this, but your situation is a little
bit different.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (19:33):
So, I my wife proposed to me a couple of
years ago, and then I had a ring also coming,
and I decided I wanted to propose back. But it
was more so because she wanted to ring as well,
and I also kind of wanted the experience of proposing.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Can I say, It really takes the stress out of it,
doesn't it. You know that they're going to say yes. Well,
I guess that, like, I don't have to worry too
much about this.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
One of the best low stax questions I've ever asked.
So how do you ask? Do you say? Will you
still marry me?
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Like? What's what's the question?
Speaker 7 (20:00):
I think we kind of like we kind of played
into the fact that it was a little bit ridiculous.
We were already engaged, and I did the fool like
will you marry me?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
It was very romantic but also very chill.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Imagine she was like, no, that's awkward.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I've actually changed my bab What if you're trying to
like proposal top, Like, if you know, if the second
one's better than the first one, do you then like
use that against them for the rest of your marriage?
Speaker 7 (20:19):
I mean healthy, it would have been used against me,
I think. But I didn't do that. I just wanted
to for chill. I was like, we're already engaged.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
That's yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
I didn't post it. It was just for us. Oh,
it was just real.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah, it's weird in this day and age. That is bizarre.
I can't correlate to that at all.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Laura, Before I ask you this question, can you just
put this to bed for me? Is it pronounced a
Betha or a beza?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Isn't it a Betha?
Speaker 3 (20:43):
I don't know, Okay, Piza whatever, Well, they're two different things.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I don't think that's what we're going to talk about though.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
No we're not. But I wanted to get it right
before I told you the story. But we don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Thanks for making me look stupid on the radio. Okay, Well, this.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Is a story set in Abitha. Now there's a restaurant
over there coming under fire. For something that they put
onto a bill they charged some tourists. These this couple
went to this nice restaurant. They sat down, the waitress
came over, was very lovely, put the napkin on them,
and then said can I take your bag and hang
it up for you? She says no, do you know what,
(21:17):
I'm okay, like it can stay here, And the waitress
was apparently like quite pushy for it, like no, it's okay,
like it's just just easier like whatever. So after had
a couple pushing, they agreed and said, okay, it's okay,
like hang it up anyway. The bill comes out and
on the bill is a charge which says gant show boyser,
(21:40):
which is eighteen dollars. Now gant show boyser means bag hook.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
So they got.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Charged eighteen dollars to hang the bag up. Did they
want to hang up?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Did they get to take the bag hook home? Did
they purchase it? They take the whole bag hook?
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Yeah, well it's not included normally. But they complained and
they're like, sorry, what we didn't A. You never said
that there was a charge. B. We didn't want to
do it, like you pushed us into it and it
became this big thing, so much so that like the
boss of the restaurant and the manager came out and
said that if it makes you feel better, you can
keep the hook.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Why wouldn't they.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Just refund the bag charge? Do you know what they
did that too?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
I went to a Betha when I was in my twenties,
and one thing though I did find super surprising is
that you know, when you go to the nightclubs, the
bottles of water are so expensive. This is going back
years and years ago, and at costlate twelve euro for
a bottle of water, that was it. And they put
salt water in all of the taps so that when
you wash your hands, you can't just refill your bottle
(22:41):
of water. You've got to go and buy another bottle
of water. Because yeah, I mean we can all probably
read between the lines as to why water sells really well.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
And I Betha, Okay, yeah, well I do want to say,
because I don't want to get in trouble, so I
don't want to get this restaurant in trouble. The manager
did say, look, it was a mistake. We enter that
inn as a reminder to give you back your bag,
and we don't know how there was.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
An amount of money.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Yeah, but whatever I'm pulling.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
You can't slam them, but I mean I can.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
I think everyone's had like those little daylight robbery moments
where you go to pay the bill and you're like,
I'm sorry, what is.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
That I got charged?
Speaker 3 (23:12):
The other day? Speaking of I get a coffee. My
coffee order is a soy cappuccino with a little squidge
of honey dash like instead of a sugar, I just
put a little of honey in.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
A dollar fifty for a squeeze of honey. You squeeze
of honey. Oh my god, daylight robbery.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Daylight robbery, daylight robbery. And you know what I think
I'm going to start doing. I don't know if this
is classified as theft. I might put the order in
and pay and then say, oh sorry, I forgot to
add the honey, and then they just couldn't be bothered
to charge yourself squad.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
But I imagine if they were like, sorry, you always
one dollar fifty, could you please have your card again?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
I mean, look, I get it usually. And also I don't.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Want to come from cafes and whatnot, like they're out
there trying to run it honest business and make a
dollar on the one time that it did spring me
is a bit of a surprise. I was at a
cafe with a group of girlfriends, and this was when
I just had my daughter Marley, made a tiny baby,
and I'd transferred her from breastfeeding onto formula. So we
were all there having lunch and I'd asked if I
could get a tiny bit of hot water that I
(24:09):
could put into her bottle to warm her bottle up.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
And then the bill came and on there was a
charge for the hot water. I was like, I can't remember.
It was like a three dollar charge for hot water.
And I was like, surely not, surely it's just no,
of course not. I just paid it now. I complained
about it on radio.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Hey, we have Jordan on the line. Jordan, what did
you get stung for?
Speaker 8 (24:31):
Hello? I took my three kids to go see a
live show and they of course wanted a snow cone.
That alone was twenty six dollars for a snow cone.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
And the ice, yeah, it is a bit of quarter on.
Speaker 8 (24:43):
The top in a fancy cup at least. And then
the lady said to me, would you like a spoon
with that? And I said yes, and she charged me
six dollars to buy the spoon.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Oh my god, the twenty six dollars of ice didn't
even come with a way to eat it.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
No, where were you?
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Like, don't don't naven shame, but like, no, dude, like
is this it?
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Are you?
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Like a fair?
Speaker 2 (25:05):
No?
Speaker 8 (25:06):
Like like a live show, like at like an entertainment center.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
That doesn't surprise me because anytime I've taken the kids
to a concert or something, you know, you go, I
think might have been.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
No, I don't know. It was a Wiggles.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
It was some sort of kid's concert and they have
those like light up lighty toys, so you wait in
line forever and then you buy. It's like a piece
of junk that they can like spin around in the concert.
And we got to the front of the line and
I bought it, and I thought the number that was
next to the light up toy was the number saying
like what number item it was because it didn't have
a didn't have.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
A dollar sign. It just said two numbers and.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
It was fifty dollars each for this little stupid wizzy.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Anyway, whatever do you know? Robbery?
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Do you just reminded me of something I haven't thought
about until now. I remember being at this fancy restaurant
and the way it came over, and I remember saying, like,
what do you recommend? That's like not too heavy. I
just want that something like a little bit extra. And
I think you were there, Laura, and he came over
and he said, do you know what I recommend? He's like,
it's very light, it's fresh. He's like, we have a
beautiful shaved ice.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Do you remember?
Speaker 3 (26:08):
And then I tried to keep it in in my head.
I was like, of course it's light, it's water. And
I was like, oh, the shaved ice. And I was like,
how much is that? He was like twenty seven dollars.
I was like, interesting, I think I'll go for the salad.
I could not believe it anyway, Absolutely wild and in
the words of Laura Burn's grammar daylight Robbery, it is
time for USK on cut now. This is something we
(26:28):
do every single week on our podcast. Life Uncut podcast
is where you guys ride in and call up with
your problems. We do our best to answer them. And
we have a range of problems like from the big,
the dark, the heavy, to like the light and funny.
Today's one is about a clinging X. We have Sadie
on the line. Sadie, you're having a problem with your
partner's clinging X.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Is that right?
Speaker 5 (26:49):
That's right. We're having an issue with a snapchat streak
that she doesn't want to let go of.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
So what's just to be clear, what's a snapchat streak?
It's like that you communicate X amount of days in
a row or something.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
Yeah, so when you send a photo to each other
each day, you then get a number. So say you've
got number three, Well, then you've been snapchatting each other
for three.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Days, gotcha?
Speaker 2 (27:08):
So how many days have they been snapchatting each other for?
And also how long ago did they break up?
Speaker 5 (27:12):
Probably more importantly two years ago and this streak was
like six hundred and eighty days.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Okay, but that doesn't make any sense. Have they been
just doing this the whole time that they've been broken
up they've still been snapchatting? Or is it a case
that they did it in the past and she's just
kept this streak alive.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
I don't understand how it works.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
I assume they've broken up, not how to streak and
then restarted it when they kind of became friendly again.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
And this is your current partners and his ex.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
Yep, this is my current partner's ex partner.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
This is so weird.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Obviously you can't control what she does, but have you
talked to your boyfriend about it?
Speaker 1 (27:46):
What did he say?
Speaker 5 (27:47):
So, we've just moved into our new home. We've moved
out of the home they owned together, and the general
kind of idea was once we move out, house is settled,
where I'm just gonna distance myself kind of get rid
of the streak, which she did, and she decided to
restore it, which I had no idea he would do.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
So does that mean that he's also still engaging or
can it be one way?
Speaker 8 (28:08):
So?
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Is she just messaging him and he's not responding or
is he snapping back?
Speaker 5 (28:12):
So he wasn't replying to any of the snaps. And
when the streak has died, she's paid to restore the streak.
It's then diet for the second time, and then she's
again restored it again just with him not like him
not snapchatting her, and she just keeps paying.
Speaker 7 (28:26):
To restore it.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (28:28):
It sounds very weird and obviously she has something going on.
That she maybe hasn't resolved or isn't over. But it
doesn't like but it does sound like your partner's doing
all the right things. It sounds like he's not engaging,
he's not replying. So there is no way that you're
going to be able to control what she does.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Yeah, but you can control him or opening them like
he does. Just because she's sending them doesn't mean he
has to open them and have a look at them,
have that connection.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Are I opening them though? Or is he just like
this is weird? What's he doing?
Speaker 5 (28:53):
I think he's opening them and then just leaving them.
But then she messaged both of us saying, you know,
wasn't fair that that was in the conversation, had that
he wanted to delete the streak and stuff and that.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
So.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
You had me hook line and sinker for this convo.
This is she's she's crazy, she's crazy. He needs to
block her.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
His re partner too. So I'm kind of like, how
would your finer feel about this?
Speaker 3 (29:17):
No, he needs to just block her, Like you can't
be holding onto your past like that, you've sold houses,
moved on, You're moving with you people like you are
so far moved on. If she's that unhinged that she's
messed like it's almost embarrassing in childhood, like to message
you and be like, you should have told me if
you wanted to break our snapchat streak. That is the
weirdest thing I've ever heard on the show.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
I've actually messaged both of us and kind of had
a dig at both of us, saying that we're disrespectful
and you know, like I thought we were all friends
kind of thing. And it's kind of like, just leave
us alone, let us move on, like, you know, just
like let us be.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
I find this so confusing.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
I feel like everyone who's listening to this now is
gonna be like, what, I'm.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Too old for this. I don't understand it. I've never
had Laura.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Everyone's too old for this. This isn't an age limit thing.
She feels like, really childish behavior. I would be telling
him to I mean, this is up to him, and
it's on him. He needs to disengage from her, Like
by opening them, he's encouraging it.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Like whether he's to see that, he's seen it one
hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
She knows that it's a funnel to him. It's still
that that connection in this little like secret little tunnel
that she's got to him. It's the last form of
connection he needs to if he respects and values you.
In my opinion, he just needs to end that. Like
he can block her, he can unfriend her, he can
do whatever. But like, just so you know, it's weird.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
It's a control thing on her side of things, I think,
and I'm just like, you need to cut that last.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Heeather, I mean, snapat kiss, set a snapchat back if
you guys like get engaged or something.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Oh, I go, let us know how it goes. But
I do think it's a pretty clear and easy one.
I do think that your partner has to take a
little bit of responsibility and.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Make it very clear that the streak is no more.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
No more streaks, no more streaks, No thanks sa.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
Britt.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Big exciting things are happening in my household tonight. It
actually is big and exciting.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
It really, I mean, I'm excited. I don't know if
anyone else is going to be, but I'll share it
with you anyway. Look, my daughter, she's six, her name
is Marley, and we are taking her to her very
first concert to go and see Alex Warren. Who I mean,
you guys, will know the song if you don't know
the name. He sings massive songs like this one, Oh
bang on amazing. Well, look, Marley is ground zero of
(31:30):
like the Alex Warren obsession in our household.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
So she came home from school this one day and
she was like, Mommy, I heard this song that's gonna
play at my wedding. And I was like, what are
you talking about?
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Red flags?
Speaker 1 (31:42):
She was literally five at the time.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Are you like, hang on, who are you married?
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:45):
No, I know who she's marrying. That that love affair
has been going on for a little while. She's had
a boyfriend since kindergarten. Wow, starts young like nothing, It's
like innocent.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
So we need to change his break. It's not how
young is it? Can you go to a concert?
Speaker 6 (31:57):
How young?
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Can you have a boyfriend? Get married?
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Anyway, he has a song that's called Carry You Home,
and she's obsessed with it. Right, and he's come to Australia.
He's actually performing all around and tickets to his concerts
sold out in literally a hot second. I think they're local,
like our local concert. The tickets it's sold out within
ten minutes.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
So we went. Now, that's not the big like Olympic Stadium.
He's like smaller.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
I reckon he would have sold that out anyway.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Honestly, it went so quick, but I really wanted to
take Marley, and then we had the opportunity of interviewing
him on the show. So we beg borrowed and stole
and I'm able to take her.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
She's coming.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
I'm only putting you on the radio.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Give me his tickets, Give my daughter, my six year
old daughter a ticket to go.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Okay, So this is my question though, Like it's an
all ages concert, right, but it's not. The venue isn't
particularly an all ages venue. Like there's no seats, it's standing.
There'll be a mosh pit, and I'm taking it.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
I don't think Alex Warren has a mosh pit.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
It's not Metallica.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
It's not like a mosh is in like everyone jumping,
but there will be like a lot of people standing.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Marley's just crowdsurfing.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Should we light and easy to throw on? Should I
get that chrial?
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Do you think?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Firstly, do you think six is too young to take
a kid to a concert? And also how old were
you at your first concert? And do you even remember
my first I think I was like mid twenties.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
Yes, I live a sheltered life. Yes, I didn't go
to a concert young at all. At Wiggles.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
There's a lot wrong with tonight, Like only four weeks
five weeks off having a baby, and I'm taking a
six year old to a concert.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
What's wrong?
Speaker 3 (33:22):
I used to go to the theater as a child.
If that sets the tone for who we were, yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
It really does. My mom plays a lot. My mom
used to do theater and we used to go watch her.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
I think, look, how young is too young? It depends
on the sixt No, it depends on the concept for starters.
Alex Warren is very innocent, like he's not a swearer,
He's not rude and crude, He's not not like he's
about love songs. He's got the number one wedding song
in the.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
World right now, you know.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
But I did see him on stage the other day
and he did throw a few f bombs around. I
think it is going to be slightly less age appropriate
than what I might have thought originally.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Is it the Wiggles.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
No, I think the problem is just like getting her
out for the length of the concert. I almost feel
like you're probably off to let her hear those songs
that she loves, like you go for the carry Me
Home her wedding song, and you go for the ordinary
and then her last in an entire concert. Standing up
in a wash pit might be too late. That we're
not staying there for the on call, that's for sure.
But I remember going like so, I remember my first
(34:14):
ever concert. My mum took me and my sister to
Silverchair and how old I was so little?
Speaker 1 (34:20):
I think I must have been ten, ten or eleven,
except I never actually saw Silverchair. We went, it was
very exciting. We saw like the warm up band, and.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Then I fell asleep in her lap and so she
watched Silverchair and I slept in my mum's lap whilst
it was on. Okay, so you're too young, you're too young.
I'm worried that's going to be like a retake of that.
And I've kind of like I wanted to do this.
I thought that she would really love it, and now
that it's here, I'm wondering whether I really just bit
off a bit more than I can chew.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
I just remembered my first concert. Actually it was Robbie Williams,
and I worked it as security and I wish I
was joking, I wish you are eighteen yep, And I
was security, me tiny little squiggly thing, but it was
my only way to get ticket to seem so I
had to pretend our security. Sorry, I'm not stopping anyone
from getting into that concert.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
I was like that, it's more so the fact that
you got into going to concert so late. Now for
Port mac.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Quarry, Oh that's right, No one goes, no one does anything, Britt.
When was the last time you went.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
To a concert?
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Oh tee swizzy?
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Yet no, no, you went to do a leaper?
Speaker 3 (35:21):
And I, yeah, I think I know what you're gonna say.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
What am I going to say?
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Are we talking about leaving early? Well?
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Did you?
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Because I I always do? Okay, how early do you
leave from a concert?
Speaker 3 (35:31):
I leave early enough that there is no battle to
get out, like I'm significantly like a couple of songs,
which means I probably missed a song or two and
I missed the OnCore and don't come for me. I
know that's bad, but I could think of nothing worse
than being in like that swarm of people that can't
walk and can't move in a fighting for public transport
so I always like make my beeline.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
But it is a question, isn't it, Because there are
two types of people. There are the people that will
stay for the on core. They will chant, they will
stamp their feet until the very last until like the
have been turned on. It's so evident that no one
is coming back out so here it is dragged, they
will stay there.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
And then there's the people that are like, it's.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Three songs, shy, I'm going to get out of here
because I don't want to hit the rush right, So
we left early.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Last night we went to Alex Warren with my daughter
and we left early.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
But that's because she's six and she was very tired,
and a cranky six year old at a concert is
not No. I don't recommend it. Actually, I reckon probably
wait until kids are ten. Six is a bit young fair,
let'son learn. But we talked about this a couple of
weeks ago. So we were talking about on the show.
You guys might remember millennials and like things that we
used to do back in the day, like going out
to the club wearing tiny dresses, dancing in high heel shoes,
(36:37):
and how gen ZEDs now will wear baggy pants, they
will wear joggers, we'ld never you know what, They're not
even drinking. A lot of them are alcohol free. It's
just a different time. It's a time that's based on wellness.
It's a time that's based on eight hours sleep, and
it's also based on wearing watches, the track everything.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
So it turns out that apparently brit.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
You are indeed more like a gen z because gen
z eds are more incl to leave a concert early
because they want to prioritize their wellness, prioritize their sleep,
and a millennial is more inclined to be the person
who's there holding on to the very end with the
lights on, because we want to suck every second out
of that moment of enjoyment at the concert.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
So interesting, because well, no, it is. When I think
about it, I actually went to an extreme. I'm going
to tell you I was embarrassing. But there are a
few people that I would never leave early. For example,
Taylor Swift, I couldn't possibly have slept if I went
home and she did some surprise songs like I was
there to the end. For that, I will do it
one hundred times over. But for example, when it's someone
(37:37):
then like, I'm keen to see and it's fun and
I'm loving it, but I'm not obsessed with them. So
for Jua Lipa, I had googled her set list and
I have the whole list, so I know exactly how
much I'm missing out on and what I'm missing out on,
and that's when I make the decision of how many
songs I can leave early. And it's brilliant because I
was like, oh, I didn't actually know the last song
(37:57):
very well, didn't care for it, knew that I could
get out quicker, and so I did.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
I'm not the most grandparent thing I've ever heard you say.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
I'm an old song that the only.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Reason why you google the set list is to know
that you're doing miss out on anything and you could.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
In fact leave.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
But you can't do that with Taylor because sometimes Taylor
puts surprise songs in No But do.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
You know what I was I was reading this.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
I was so there's an article that was written about
how pillennials will hold on to the very end, stay
there and suck every inch out of that concert. And
the reason why is because half of them are moms.
They're just they're so thrilled to get a night off
one hundred pers. I don't mind if they get stuck
in the car bar for an hour and a half.
They're just happy to be out of their own home.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
Do you know, Oh, you just got me excited. Do
you know who's coming here soon? One of my favorite artists,
Lewis Capaldi. Lewis Capaldi, He's coming to Australia and I'm
putting this out to the universe now because he's going
to sell out like a hotcake. So I need to
get those two guys.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Who are you putting it out to the universe? But
I or Wanner's music or who else listening?
Speaker 6 (38:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
But he is someone else that I would never dream
of leaving early, like I am locked and loaded into that.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
I mean, normally I would say, I'm just past the
point in my life where I want to late night.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
I want to wake up in the morning and feel fresh.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
But the last concert you went to, remember you wet
your pants and I went down into your boy.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Did I went to Blink one A two when I
bused myself, I'd believing to Laura, I'd.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
Believe right away, alright, No, I didn't leave early.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
I love Blink one it too.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
Anyway, now everybody parents around the country strapping.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
We have made it to the end.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
We have finally come to the close of bookweek and
thank the Lord. You say this, Okay, I'm the one
that had to come up with a different outfit every
day for Lola this week because tat's off to you
and it well, school and preschool are very different. If
your kids go to school, they usually have a book day.
If your kids go to preschool and kids are gone
on all different days, they're dressing up every day. So
(39:45):
we've had a lot of outfits this week. But Lola,
my four year old, really went out on a questionable high.
Questionable because she didn't go with a kid's book, but
also a high because I kind of love the little
inner fashion Easta that is my Lola. So she woke
up this morning and she was supposed to go as
an astronaut. It had been planned. We had my first
Planet book out, she was ready. We really sat on
(40:07):
the side of the bed and then we had a
full blown four year old meltdown because she had a
change of mind. Recently, she's become quite in love with
another book that she's been going.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
To bed with every night.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
It's just not particularly age appropriate. So we've spoken about
Fashion Critical before on this show. Fashion Critical. She is
an anomally.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
I was about to say, but she's anonymous.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
She's a fashion critic who has amassed such a following
online by critiquing celebrities fashion choice that she has critiqued
us many times, given us a serve from time to time.
She's also sometimes very complimentary. But recently she just brought
out a book. It's called Fashion Critical. Red Carpet Looks
Lolls from an Undercover Fashion Critic. Now, this book has
been sitting in Lola's bed for the past week and
(40:49):
a half.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
She looks at it every day. She's quite obsessed with
some of the pages.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
And today she woke up and decided that was the
book she was taking to book Week, and she put
together her best look she could possibly do.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
Do you know what it's?
Speaker 3 (41:02):
First of all, I was like, it's surprising that she's
chosen that book and she's become obsessed with it, But
is it actually that surprising. It's a book of women
dressed up in beautiful dresses and outfits, Like I imagine,
it's actually quite a colorful, addictive, kind of a book
for a four or five.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
Ye yeah, well, and she's also a fashion queen. What
we do have she hasndies on her head, she does.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
We have the fashion critical here because we thought what
other better way of ending the week after a week
of book week costumes than to have fashion critical herself
take a five critique my daughter's book week outfit.
Speaker 9 (41:32):
Oh, welcome to the show, ladies. This is a career
high for me. I've reached nirvana.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
I know you've critiqued Hardy klam and like Beyonce and
some of the real big stars. Also pretty hocoy Lola bet. Really,
I think she should be up there. She should have featured.
Speaker 9 (41:47):
She's best on ground and I won't hear a bad
word said against her.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
I've always been her a little bog.
Speaker 9 (41:52):
Okay, she's picked a great, beautiful pink childress.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
It's gorgeous.
Speaker 9 (41:56):
She's got a lovely pink park on it matches dress
pefortly great. But what I love about this is the
detail she's painted her nails red. The red matches the
cover of the book. She has received no toes violation,
her toes of cupboard. She's got gorgeous little glittery Mary
Jane her hair's done beautifully. It's the details that make
the outfit. And I have heard and I don't know
if this is true, I'm going to need it about
(42:16):
for it. She didn't use a stylist for this look.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
She's self styled.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
She is self styled. She recently discovered that being a
stylist is actually a job. My oldest wants to be
famous and my youngest wants to style her, so they've
like slipped into their careers very young.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
I mean, that's perfect. What a combo.
Speaker 9 (42:30):
Well, I'm telling you, the girl's got talent. I can
see it. You can see it. All of Australia can
see it. And I'm extremely impressed and I look forward
to watching her fashion evolution over the years.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
So fashion critical, What would you love to see next
from Lola look?
Speaker 9 (42:46):
I would love to see a gala look. I think
she's gone with Yeah, she's gone with it, you know,
an age appropriate sort of evening look. It's very cute
at very girly. I'd like to see something quite avant garde,
something quite out there, a bit of a more stick
sort of take on fashion. So if you could brief
her on that. I look forward to to saying that
that would be lovely and maybe you know, we've seen
(43:07):
a lot of playing with with gender bending, you know,
so the women wearing quite androgynous looks men wearing skirts,
so perhaps she can she could explore that life.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
I love this because she did want to dress up
as Batman, so she like has that dialed.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
I think she will pull that off.
Speaker 3 (43:19):
She's she's quite like an accessorizer. How do you feel
about I mean, she's in this trend of like she
likes to put underwear on her head, like that's her accessory,
and for some boundaries she doesn't want to take it off.
She she wants to go for a walk and the
undies are over ahead. Her ears come out like little
Koyala's what do you think about that?
Speaker 5 (43:35):
Do you know what? You know?
Speaker 9 (43:38):
Trends are trends and that's not no no, Well I
was going to say, I don't really care for trends,
but you know, true style is choosing something that perhaps
other people don't understand.
Speaker 5 (43:50):
And.
Speaker 9 (43:52):
It doesn't mean it's not stylish. It doesn't mean she's
not an artist. You know, she's a visionary. And as
I said, I won't hear a bad word said against
her or her style choices, and if she's wearing underwear
on her head, then I urge you to look to
the catwalks of Milan and Paris this summer, because I
can guarantee you we're going to see that on the catwalks.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
I tell you fashion critical.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
We went to Cans recently and she spent the entire
day wearing fish neck gloves and a pair of fluffy earmusks.
Speaker 3 (44:20):
I I love it.
Speaker 1 (44:21):
You live your best life, girlfriend.
Speaker 9 (44:23):
Honestly, I don't care about what the weather is. You
wear what you want to wear. The weather's got nothing
to do with it.
Speaker 5 (44:29):
You keep going.
Speaker 1 (44:30):
Can I just ask, though, did you ever envisit your
new book as being a.
Speaker 9 (44:34):
Kid's Honestly I didn't. I really really didn't. And to
be fair, it's not out to October, so it's not
available to the common people yet they.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
Can pre order it.
Speaker 9 (44:42):
But you received was not common Poppy.
Speaker 1 (44:45):
We got an advance of power. She didn't even realize
how special she was.
Speaker 9 (44:48):
She's got one of only maybe thirty copies in circulation
at the moment.
Speaker 1 (44:52):
She will be thrilled.
Speaker 9 (44:54):
Yeah, so perhaps next book week, maybe we'll see more.
But this is definitely the first, it's not a children's book,
but you're absolutely right, Britt, it is full of beautiful,
colorful pictures, and actually, why not. I don't think I've
dropped the F bomb that many times, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (45:08):
I hope I actually haven't read an No cares what.
Speaker 9 (45:13):
The words say. It's all about the pictures. It's all
about the pictures.
Speaker 2 (45:16):
Thank god she can't read it anyway. Fashion Critical always
a pleasure. Thanks for joining us, Thank you, good luck
with the book.
Speaker 3 (45:21):
Thank you, love, thank you,
