Speaker 1 (00:00):
This episode was recorded on Cameragle Land. Hi guys, and
welcome back to another episode of Life Fun Cut. I
am Brittany.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
My name is Mattie Jay. Do you think people are
enjoying me being here? No one said anything. I'm waiting
for someone to tap me on the shoulder and say, hey,
it's been really fun. But I've had nothing.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
I'd been fielding the results.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yes, what feedback?
Speaker 1 (00:25):
You know, the feedback has been good. If you're just
joining us today, this is our radio show, so we
package up the best of our radio show Monday to
Friday through the week, we give it to hear in
one little spot. Laura is off on maternity leave. And
do you know what I figured out? I can't say
maternity leave. Look, I can't say it. Everyone say it. It
runs together.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I've noticed you stopped saying it when you're like, Laura's
not here because she's away.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Right now, Do you know what's you got this, Matt,
You've got him gizzel line right.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I've actually had these little nibs for six years, six
years because I didn't pay the bills.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
So you can go to another dentist to get them
taken on.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I'll do it. It's on my to do list.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
That I got in bisiline years ago. And then when you.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Think, by the way, thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
When you're getting bisil line at the end, you can
either like wear a mouthguard or you.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Can get the bar that's like put on the back
of your teeth.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yes, what do you have?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Got that?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
And the bar?
Speaker 1 (01:18):
It changed the way I spoke so I couldn't enunciate
the same way as I used to. And there are
some things that my tongue like must hit the back
of it, and maternity, like the maternity maternity, I.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Can't say it needs to tists an. Yeah, it's very hard.
It's very hard. But also, come on, help a guy out,
give me some feedback. I'm needy, Britt, I need something.
But also I do want to say before we get
into the show, I just want to honestly, hand on heart,
sit here and just say that you're doing a really
good job.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Thank you, producer Grace, like you're doing well for I'm
just the whole team right now.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I'm just wow. Laura is so lucky to work with
such a talented mix of individuals. But is there a butt, Grace,
you want to say something about me?
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Thank you? So much. You've been a joy and a delight.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
I sound like such a needy fuck, don't Jesus you?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
In all honesty, it's been very easy some people it's
not natural fault, but you're a natural talker and you
get it, and it definitely helps that we know each other.
If somebody just got planted in here and they're like, hey,
do a radio show with them, and you have no connection,
no history, no commonality.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I think it's really hard.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I've spent more time with Britt in the last couple
of weeks than I have in the last two years.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
That's one hundred percent accurate. And for the last two years,
your wife Laura spent more time with me than she
has with you.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I know what the it's the universe flipped it is.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah, But why am I always the one that I
won't spend time with other people? Why am I stuck
with YouTube?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Unpacked? This on another episode? But this show? I love
birth stories. If there is one thing I like doing
when I meet someone who's a parent, I'm straight away like,
give me the guy, ask what happened? Birth story? Hit me.
But we've got some wild and unforgettable birth stories, not
just one that I heard Poppy was born, but also
from the listeners.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
You need to speak to my sister Sherry. She has
a crazy bit.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
No, I don't know, remind me to call her after that.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
They had to call her. It's a bit extreme, but
like next time we're all at dinner or something.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I was just being polite. I wasn't actually got a
call out. I was just you know, in the moment,
I was like, yeah, I reach out.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
You got her in Speeddar. Yeah, yeah, no, okay, you know,
I just I'll give you a little hint now. So basically,
she was five weeks early. She was over in Scotland
and she just got like a little uncomfortable, a little pain.
So they were like, and Sherry has really high blood
pressure so they did have to monitor the blood pressure
throughout her pregnancy. So she thought, I'm going to do
the right thing and I'll just go and get the
blood pressure checked. So she goes in and they look
(03:38):
at her, they do all the tests they check to
see like downstairs if there's dilation or whatever, and they're
like you're fine, Like what are you here for? She
goes I just feel weird, like something's happening. They're like look,
you do have high blood PRESSU We're gonna monitor you.
So Cherry called me and she said she facetimes me
and I was on the way to work and she said, hey,
just keeping your posting. I'm in the hospital, not in labor.
(03:59):
Nothing is wrong.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
I just they're checking my blood pressure. They're not going
to release me until.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
The pressure is down, so I'm gonna probably be here
a couple of hours. And I was like, okay, cool,
keep me pasted. So then she starts to feel big
pains in her tommy and she calls the nurse over
and she's like, I'm sorry, like this isn't weird. Something's escalating.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
But also when it's your first, like you just don't
know what you don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah, but she wasn't in pain, but she was getting pains,
but she was fine, but she was like, something's happening anyway.
The nurse again was like you're fine. This continued to
happen and the pain increased, and I'm talking over ten
to fifteen minutes, very quickly. She called them back over
again she was in pain. They were like they just
thought this girl's ridiculous. They gave her one paracetamol gave
(04:43):
her a paracetamol. Anyway, She's like, I think I'm having
a baby. They looked down and they were like, you're
not You're not dilated. Fifteen minutes later, she was screaming
in the ward, pulling her clothes off. Yeah, ripping her
clothes off, going, I'm pushing. Something is happening. They ran back,
thought she was exaggerating, looked down. The baby was coming
(05:03):
out from go to woe from when she went in
forty minutes since she had a baby.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
That is unbelievable. What was the brand of that paracetamol?
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Give me some I what is that not insane?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
That is I'm also fire that nurse? Well it was
multiple nurse, Yeah, far more.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Anyway, that's the birth story. So hey, we're gonna talk
birth stories on the podcast. We've got some good callers,
didn't we.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
We've got some great story. Shout out to the life
on Cut facebook group who gave us some crackers. But
we're going to speak to a few.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Listeners and I have a million dollar question this week.
Can you or is it cheating if you dress up
in like a joint costume.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
With somebody that's not your partner.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
It depends what kind of costume.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Horse costume, specifically far out the red flag.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
We're gonna unpack it, believe it or not.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Enjoy Brittany, I'm not sure if you've seen who's been
making headlines. It's a politician.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
This could be anyone.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
It's not Donald Trump. It's an Aussie politician. Do you
know what it is?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Any guesses every politician every single week makes a headline
in Australia, not for the right reason.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Well, on this occasion, it is none other than Pauline Hanson.
She's still politician and she I think she is. Is
she semi retired? Not suret Jail, that's for another chat.
She's been attacking the brown paper bag that you get
from a supermarket. Of all people to attack.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
A brown paper bag, why on earth would she attack
a brown paper bag?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I mean, actually we could between let's have a listen
to what she said.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Buy these cheap rubbish bags that's split and break on
you all the time.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I'm over it.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
I'm sorry, angry.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
About this.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
And five cents a bag, boys and coles. Get your
act together with the bags and a good day. Get
your act together with the bags.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Do you know what it's?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Probably the only thing I maybe semi agree with Pauline
on in anything she's ever said.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Look, and I think there's a lot of people out
there that are in a similar position to yourself. They're
on the fence and they're thinking, oh my gosh, is
this going to happen? Am I going to side with
Pauline Hanson on this issue? Okay? And I, for one
am here to defend the brown paper bag?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
So what's her issue that it just split some brakes.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
And doesn't actually do what's supposed to do.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
She's angry about the condition of the bag. It's too weak,
and it's too expensive twenty five cents. It's not worth it.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
What I will say is this was not planned. I'm
not making this up. Yesterday I did go to the
supermarket and I literally I wasn't in self service. Somebody
served me and I picked the brown bag up and
as I picked it up, it just split and dropped
to the ground.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
And I hadn't even moved. Oh my gosh, I didn't
even take it a step.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
You are pauling Hanson right now?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Ever, relate to pull in here?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Sorry, so too far, too far?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
So what are we going to do today?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Okay? Well, I have in the studio today, a genuine
brown paper bag from a supermarket does look a bit used,
and thanks to a producer, Grace, who was I think
she's dug this one out of under the sink. It's
not a crisp bag.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
It was in my desk drawers.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
I keep them in case I need to pop out
for lush better days.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
We don't know how how often this one has been used,
but I've been told from industry insiders that they do
have a weight test of six kilograms. I've got a
luggage scale here, and we're going to find out on
the radio live just how much weight these bags can
actually take.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
What we are trying to do is prove pulling hands
and wrong live on it.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yeah, exactly, look at the wear and tear on this back.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
All right, so we're be used once, guys. We're attaching
the scales.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
And now I'm going to start with the big guns. Okay,
I want to go straight to a sandbag. This is
five kilograms.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
My god, that brings us to work to do sandbag
lunges in the breaks.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
All right, five's a lot.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I'm nervous, but that's almost the whole I mean, we've
only got six kilos. This is a good test, so
throw her in.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Okay, this could be over very quickly.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I think that's probably pretty standard for you know. Okay,
let's go. Can I pick Let's go the tomato sauce next.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I thought you'd never ask.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Or you're going to weigh it each time.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
It's going to you know, oh my god, Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Okay, acts like you're walking, so it needs some bounce walking.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
There's a bit of bounce there, and it's holding that
bag is struggling, shoulder is shaking right now, Okay, can
confirm five kilos.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Okay, great, Let's add in the tomato sauce and maybe a.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Popper in the bag. Currently there's a sand bag, tomato sauce,
a water bottle, and a popper. Oh my goodness, Oh my.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
God, you're the bounce. Look at that. What if you
have to run for the bus.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I'm going all in. I'm going to add in a
water bottle.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
And I don't even know if I'll be able to
lift this with one arm. That's how much weight is
currently in the bag and the bag is withholding. Okay,
this may be the last test that we do. I
don't know who good stuff to keep on doing this.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
I don't know if you'll be coming back.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
You're hoping the bag next.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Okay, all right, let's go give it some muscle.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Go Oh my god, okay, give it some running for
the bus. You're running for the bus.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Look at that way? What wait is that?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
That's almost nine killers? That's impressing.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Are you not impressed?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Breaday? Yeah I am. I don't know if you need
to yell, but I'm thoroughly impressed because my bags are
breaken before and like.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
A box of tissues in there. Oh, we're going with
the whole whole hog.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
We put another sandbag in so two sandbags, two poppers,
two drink bottles, tomatoes, so all we got. It's broken.
It's broken. What's the way I don't know. He can't
hold it off and he's about to pop it. We've
got a crack.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Whye okay, oh my god, Pauline Hanson, you heard it
here first? How dare you.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
You heard it here?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
That's like that was fourteen kilos at least it.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Must mean So that's that's I'm calling it. Double that bag?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Then what it says you could put a small child
in that bag.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
You could carry Poppy in there.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Yeah, you don't need a pram round paper bag.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Thanks Matt for bringing.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
That up proving the segment. But all of Australia was wondering,
how much is going a paper bag hole?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
You hear? Hey, something's happened to me recently and I
don't know if I'm overreacting here. Okay, okay, so Poppy,
we have just given birth. When I say we, I
me my wife Laura. Poppy is now coming up to
three weeks old. Our time for wow, it just where
it's going so quick?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Be on college soon?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Goodness me, it is dragging on. I'm so tired right now.
But we decided over the weekend to venture out a
little escape from the house, get some fresh air, get
the other kids outside. We thought it'd be a lovely moment,
of course, beautiful and Poppy just had a feed. I
was holding Poppy. Laura then went for a little wanderer
around the park with the other girls, Marley and Lola.
(12:09):
So I was standing there holding Poppy and I kind
of forget that, Like I'm desensitized now to it, to
a newborn and its size, but for other people seeing
a newborn.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
That fresh, so tiny, out.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
In the open, you know, people and it's nice. They go,
oh my gosh, she's so tiny, and I go, yes,
three weeks old, the normal small toy poppy. Yeah, yes,
I'm the bachelor, that's right. Yeah it did work.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Yes, my wife has left me and I'm a single time.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Yeah, I'm on the three BM pick up every day.
But then one person came over and we were having
a really nice chat and she was a parent. Her
kids were playing in the park and then she was like,
just look at her little feet. Look at them, and
I was like, yeah, they're really tiny. And then she
started touching her feet and I was I didn't want
(12:57):
to say anything, but I was like, I'm just i've
just met you. And I'm also a bit funny about
germs right now, because you know the kids for example,
like you gotta wash your hands before you touch the child.
And all of a sudden, this woman is touching the feet.
But I was like, it's just the feet's fine. Yeah,
and then she was like, look at her little fingers.
The fingers are so Sposh was like, gosh, she's touching
her fingers and I was like again, I was like,
(13:18):
I'll let this one slide. I don't want to make
it awkward between myself and the parent. She has good intentions.
And then she was stroking her face so well. I
just it was such a gradual build up. But by
the time she was touching Poppy's face and like stroking
her little head, You'd let it. I'd let it happen.
(13:38):
And I thought to myself, this will be over in
the blink of an eye, and I didn't want to
make it weird. But I was thinking to myself, do
I have to tell people frontend when they come over,
do not touch the child.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
I think that's tricky.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I totally get I think the feet are free go
zone like I think feet you can do, feet of
fair game, you can touch them, I think, But I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Disclaimer.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I'm not a parent, but I did work in a
hospital in an emergency for thirteen years. I've been around
the germs. I get the vaccination thing.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
I get it all.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I think it is one hundred percent okay for you
to ask a stranger not to touch your baby, especially
a newborn, because if your child gets sick, it can
be devastating, especially at that young And I.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Don't think you need to feel awkward it just means
you're a good person.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
You feel uncomfortable making someone else feel uncomfortable, and I
think that just makes you a good person. But there
are some things I think you need to throw to
the side. And if it's a stranger at a park
who has germs on their hand, doesn't mean they're a
dirty person.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
We all have germs.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
And then they're touching her face.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
It's like, so, I think this is a bit of
a PSA. Then, to anyone out there who was a parent,
I get that you're a parent. You understand it. It
doesn't give you this ability to then touch other people's children.
But then just when I thought the worst of it
was over, she was then touching the feet again, and
she goes, oh, it's a bit cold. I think she
might need some socks.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Oh she told you how to parent.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
She's touched my child, and now she's had going to
go at me for what she's wearing.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Maybe she thinks you're the first time parent. Maybe she
thought you were a single dad and your wife had
left and you were struggling with the three.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Well, I was holding Poppy upside down. But that's not
the point.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Alright, there's your PSA from that no touching people's faces.
We have Maddie Jay in the studio with us, feeling
in for Laura while she's on maternity leave.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Oh look, it's great to be here, Brett. It's great
to be here.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
It's lovely to have you.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
You know, it's nice just to have a little break
from the family and the kids.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
If I'm Honestone, I wouldn't put that out there. It's fine,
maybe's three weeks old.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
It's awkward.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I would love you to tell me if you get
sucked into this as frequently as I do, because I
know a lot of people are out there getting scammed
and getting fooled every day, but I seem to be
doing it a lot. Now, this is a PSA for anyone.
You really need to be METI literate. You need to
know where you're getting your news from and what you're reading.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
It's hard to spot the fake news, Brett, it really is. Well.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
I got sucked in big time this week. So at
the start of the week, basically on a Sunday night,
we all get together in the team and we just
say what's been going on for the week, what's going
on in our lives? Has anything grabbed us this week? Like,
it's a very normal kind of content production meeting.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
But Sunday nights that's when they get you. That's when
your guard is down.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
It is because you're so relaxed.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
On the lounge, that's when they'll find you and they'll
get you.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I think there's a study somewhere that someone did that
said that you trust more on a Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
I believe it absolutely fake news.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Got youd.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
No.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
But what it was is so we had this production
meeting and we're all sending us stuff in for the week,
and what interested us? And I said producer Grace, I
was like, put this in. This is absolutely crazy. We
need to talk about this. I was like, I cannot
believe this is happening. Maybe we can start some kind
of a petition. I'm sure there's a petition happening in
France as we speak now. It was a news article
saying that the Eiffel Tower is being demolished next year,
(16:51):
because that's right. Yeah, And it did have a lot
of background to it. It was quite in depth. It
said that when a contract had had water.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
When you say a lot of background to it, like.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
It was the sentences when you dropped down it was a.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Link that said the contract had it was it was
up for a new ale and they may not rend.
The French government may decide that enough's enough.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
It was so unusual the details that I was like,
must be real, because they were like it had something
like one hundred and thirty six year lease contract and
it was up and France was like, we just can't
afford to maintain anymore. It's pretty believable, is it the home,
isn't it?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
You're a clever woman, brit Well.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
To be fair, I didn't actually click on the link.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
It was just the headline do you have a university degree?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah? I do.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
It just was the.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Headline and I got sucked. I'm my own worst enemy,
so I Senator Grace. Grace was absolutely mortified, laughed in
my face and sent it back and said, you're a loser.
The Eiffel Tower is not being demolished, and I got
I'm just sick of it. I don't know how to
tell anymore.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Do I have to chaperone you out of the studio
when there's finishes and make sure you don't get done
by the wallet inspectors because I'm worried about you.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Brett honestly, skin, that's not AI. My problem is AI
has gotten so good.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
That's it. That's not AI because it's an article.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Was a photoshop as well?
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Well?
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Of it already gone. I believed it.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
No, but surely okay, we laugh, We laughed, We laughed.
Producer Grace, tell me the video that you sent me
that you thought was fascinating. I sent almost everyone in
my contact list a video of a seagull riding an scooter,
and I was like, that's so cleversity learned to do this.
It was real. Sorry, as if the Eiffel Tower had
(18:26):
been demolished at the end of one hundred and thirty
six year least, that is more believable than a seagull
writing a electric screwter.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I thought just the.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Power of his wings was propelling. It was the power
of Look.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I just want to just remind you, Britt that it
wasn't actually AI that you got done by. It was
just a false article.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
All right, what have you been done? I don't believe
you're not getting done by AI?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Okay, well I got I did, on one occasion get done.
I like to think of myself as being pretty cluey,
but it was a little while ago, they had the
bunny rabbits on a trampoline.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah. Ever, no, you know what got me?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
I believed that, Oh, I'm sure you did.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
And then I all fifty videos and each video had
a different animal on the trampoline.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
The sausage dogs, that's right.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I was like, it's not that many animals.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Any seagulls on their grades.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Seagulls didn't make it to the say about their Kids's.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
The wild world, Brittany. Right now the nation is divided,
are they? Yeah? They really are, and and I'm I'm
upset by it, if I'm honest. And when I say divided,
there are two camps. There is the camp of people
that love and embrace Halloween, and on the other side
(19:32):
are the people who think that it should be left
to the Americans.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
My first thought is, you get upset very easily.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
I'm an emotional man, Brittany, I really am. But I
was on TikTok and I saw a post that was
done by Sarah's Day. I don't know if you're.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Familiar with she is an influencer.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
She's like a bit of a fitness influencer. She's got
a few kids, but she's got one point two million
on Instagram. She's got about three hundred thousand on.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
TikTok influencer influencer.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
But she's got a huge audience, right. She did a
post about the fact that she will not be dressing
up her kids for Halloween, and it got really mixed
responses in the comments. Let me just read you a
couple Okay, I'm going to let this news marinate as
I tell you that some people were all for it
and saying this just made me love you a thousand
or million times more US two xxx. But then, in
(20:20):
contrast that, the next comment, which got over a thousand likes,
it says it's not that deep. It's just about candy
and dressing up as a cute pumpkin.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I would say that I'm with that comment.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
It's just about candy, right, So it's this dress up
party to get candy, right.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
I mean, I will admit, back in the day before
I had kids, I was anti halloweens. Same I was
an anti halloweenist.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
I was too, but you know why I was like
as a kid, I don't know what your youth was
like in your your mum's parenting, But I grow up again, Well,
I grew up in Port Macquarie, which is like a
town in between the.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Gold Coast in Sydney. It's like a beach town.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
But we were always told like every Halloween it was like, oh,
it's so American, we don't do that here. And I
can remember how little houses like got part of it,
like we didn't feel like we were missing out because
it's not like every house in the street was participating.
So it was like you didn't really understand that it
was even a thing because just.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
No one used to do it.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Because the issue is Australia's too bloody big and all
the houses are too far away from each other, so
growing up to walk to the next house for us
was like a couple of minutes no one.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Could be bothering.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
My mom was like, I'm not walking around with five
kids knocking.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
No.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I just remember my mum always saying the same thing,
just going it's too American, Like it was such an
American iceed Okay.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
But now that I've got young girls, and I see
the joy in their faces when they get to pick
their costumes, they get to dress up, they get to
go out there knock on people's door, get free chocolate
and free candy.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
But we can't. You can't win with kids like you
spend your whole life saying, don't take Kenny from strangers,
and then Halloween comes, you like except this one day
of the year.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
And that's what we really try and drill into them,
that it's this one little window that we're allowed to
do it, and they love it. I dare say that
our family, and especially my kids, they love Halloween more
than Christmas. There I said it. I said it. It's
out there.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
That's a big case.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I will die on that hill. But I think I
think we should all collectively as a country, stop swimming
against the tide here, embrace Halloween open arms. And it's amazing.
You could come halloweening with us if I I'm god.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
You're the first person ever invite me. Maybe that's why
you don't like it.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
You've not had an infight.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
No friends all come with us.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I at the moment, at this stage of my life,
don't have kids. I hate when Halloween comes and it's
not I want the kids to have fun. I do
not want a hundred people knocking at my door to
give them candy.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
I just don't want it. I just pretend I'm not home.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I'm not proud of it.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
And that's the best part of Halloween. You can be
in the camp of people that want to stay home
and just open the door throw candy at kids, or
you can come with us. You can dress up as.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
I don't know people here.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
A witch, ah, a beautiful princess.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
There we go, I am.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
But there's plenty of time thirty first of October. Just
in case you don't know it is coming. You don't
have to think of a costume idea right now.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Will you find me a costume?
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Absolutely? I thought you'd never ask.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Okay, if you get me a costume, I'll wear whatever
you get me.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
How's about that for radio?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
But what I will say is I do have a reason.
I'm not just a gringe. I remember I did it.
I was like, you know what, I'm going to be
a better person.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
I'm going to get amongst it.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
And I got the candy and I got ready and
I just this one kid, I'll never forget him. I
gave him his candy and he goes, is that it?
That's what he said? And I was like, get lost
your brat, And then I closed the curtains and I
didn't do it ever again, I was like, you, ungrateful
little brat.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
How old was that kid?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Twenty eight? All right, well, I can't wait to see
what you're gonna pick for me. But yeah, I food
for thought. I do think Australia's changing. I think we
are admitting defeat and opening our arms up to Halloween.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
It's not defeat, that's the wrong word.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Now, Matt, it's Thursday, so just to get you up
to speed, I know it's still early days for you,
but we do ask guncut every Thursday. That's what we
do on our podcast, Life on Cup podcast.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
You know I love asking carts.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
You do love it.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I've been such a big fan since way back when.
I just love getting involved in other people's business.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Well, this one I picked particularly for you because you
have a very lived experience. We have Stacy in the
line who is having some issues with her partner and
a cat. Stacy, just explain to everyone what the issue is.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
Okay, So we lost our family cats earlier this year,
so which was quite hard at the time, as we
all know what losing a petty's life.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Stacy, I'm so sorry, thank you.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
But I feel I'm ready to guess another cat. But
My husband is very much against it around, Like I
mentioned it a couple of months ago and he's like,
I'm not ready, Like I didn't realize how much the
loss would affect me. So I'll give you time. I
respect that, but now I'm at the point that I
really want a cat companion. He's a shift worker, so
(24:56):
there's times like I'm home alone, so it's like I'm
having the around. I don't know how to go about
just going to get one.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Look, this is a really complicated situation. You found yourself in, Stacey,
and thank you mate, and again my heart goes out
to you and your family regarding the loss of your cat.
Can I ask was it your boyfriend or husband?
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Husband?
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Husband?
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Kat kind of came into our lives. It was nine
years ago. We kind of half adopted in woman to
have him for a weekend, and nine years later we
still had him. So his name was Syllem s I
l o M really weird. So he's called him silly Catty.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
I'm judging it's a really weird name.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
I hate.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Yeah, it wasn't our choice, so we stuck with silly cat,
but yeah, he was. It was funny because we kind
of got him right at the beginning of our relationship
as well. So it was we just moved in together,
probably three weeks before we kind of rescued him.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
I'm going to tell you something very important, and if
I could just ask quickly before I tell you this information,
can you just take a quick seat, if you're not
already seated, if that's okay. So men, and I say
this as a man, we are really dumb. Okay, we
don't know what we want.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
I'm so glad you said that.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Ok. And sometimes we just dig our heels in for
just the sake of digging our heels in. We just
want to dig him in. We'll dig him into anything.
And I was once your husband in a sense. Laura
had a cat. She was called Lady and a Cat
on her Instagram. She had a cat, can't remember its name,
not important, and it died, was hit by a car.
(26:32):
And Laura said, I want a new cat, and I
said no, and she then went out got the cat.
And when I saw the cat, I was like, oh
my gosh, I actually did really want a cat and
I didn't know it.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
So let me just extend this conversation a little bit.
Matt said he didn't want a cat. Laura brought the
cat home, Matt was like, so cute, and then a
week later he was like, I don't want the cat anymore.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
That is an absolute lie, and stay sea. It's important
for you to stay focused on what I am saying.
In this situation. I am the expert here. Go out
buy any cat that you like, and I guarantee, regardless
of the breed, regardless of the sex, regardless of the name,
your husband will love this cat.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
So divorced, I can come back to you, right, I
think it's guaranteed.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
No, I think in all seriousness, like, of course you're
supposed to meet in the middle as a couple and
like both agree on something. But I would say, in
this situation, your feelings and your situation at home in
terms of being alone all the time, I think that
supersedes him saying no, I don't want one. So I
think you just need to say, Look, it's really important
to me, Like I feel really lonely when you're not here.
I feel like I need something or someone else in
(27:38):
the house. And if it's not going to be someone,
it can be a cat. That's what I would get.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
And I completely agree. That's kind of where I've tried
to like starting to lead it gain if.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
It does an in divorce. Brittany has a spare room
in her apartment, so you're totally fine.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
I'm a cat, I'm a catface.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
I'm a cat phra Space. Hey, good luck, Stacy. Thank
you for calling us, but thank you so much. I
do have some good news. You might not get a cat,
but you do get some Sony earbuds just for calling
us today. These are like, there's a really really good
noise canceling tech clearer calls. They're very stylish, so they're
all yours just for calling up today.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
I really appreciate it, and thank you so much for
the advice, and thank you about it. You're doing a
great job in the seat, I'll tell you that much.
I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
You're very welcome. Thank you, Stacy.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Matt, this is a good question for you.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Hit me nothing I love more than an am I
the a whole thread. Yeah, so I've got one that's
about is it or isn't it cheating? Now let me
set the scene. There's a lovely little couple. She works
in an office.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
What are the names?
Speaker 3 (28:41):
It's anonymous. It's anonymous.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Not important to continue.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yeah, not important. So she works in an office and
there's always been a little bit of something that the
boyfriend has been worried about. He's like, there's one person
at the office that they call Spencer that he thinks
is a little bit too flirty with his girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Nothing's happened, Spencer, red Flag, straight up, Spenny Speno. Yeah,
not for me.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
So the boyfriend's like, you know what got my eye
on you, buddy. Nothing's happened, but I can see you
looking at my girl. So she's come home and she
has said that the office is having a dress up
party and she has decided to team up in.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
A couple's costume with this Spencer character.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Okay, that's not too bad, right, not too bad?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Are you going in matching banana's in pajamas?
Speaker 2 (29:25):
That's great, that's fun.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
They have decided to go as a horse, so the
same costume. You know, one has to bend over and
the other one backs up into it, and then there's
one horse costume.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
It's not like she's riding on the back of Spencer.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
I think it's worse.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Have a look, my god. That no, that's okay.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
So he's the boyfriend's like, bro, this is like borderline
cheating if you're.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
It's okay for anyone who obviously can't watch us right now.
It is one where you kind of have to like
one person is standing up, the other person who's the
behind the back legs has to bend over. It's really
intimate and you're you're encased in the costumes.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
One person's head has to be in another's butt. Whichever
way you do it, there's nowhere else to go. And
I don't know if you're the girl, are you wanting
his head in your butt or your butt or you're
heading his butt?
Speaker 2 (30:14):
I think both scenarios. There is no good outcome here.
I think this very much falls into the category of
it being murky, and if it's murky, get out of
the water.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Well, yeah, because there might be crocodiles.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Right.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
So the boyfriend is like, look, you're going to be
connected literally all days. It necessary. You can go as
anything you want. Why have you chosen the only thing
that has to be like heads in butts?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
I don't like it. And to me, this falls into
the same category as like if your partner right starts
watching a TV series without you with somebody.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Else, or like on the in distance or something.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Yeah, I don't I don't like it. If if they're
watching episodes in sync, I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
It does make you think about all those things that's like,
it's I mean, dressing up as a horse isn't cheating,
but it sort of goes that way of being inappropriate.
But it makes you think of, like what those little things.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
And I think it's like when you get matching tattoos.
I don't like it.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Well, if you're not a couple, not.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
For me, alarm bells, but it's things like massages together. No,
I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Brushing, like someone reaches and brushes hair off someone's face
or tucks it behind the ear.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Popping a pimple not cheating, gross, but that's murky. Murky.
Crocodiles are looming.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Fixing someone's tie, you know, like you're right up into
it and you're doing that little wiggle and you make
eye condact and your lips are closed and it's heavy
breathing inappropriate.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Right, what about tying a shoelace?
Speaker 3 (31:31):
I think that's.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
So you think it's fine, all right, all right, So
Matt and I are.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Going as a horse to the Okay, it's murky, britt crocodiles. Remember, Brittany,
this is gonna sound really self indulgent, But yesterday I
was spotted.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Is at the end of the center.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
I was look, I was on for those of you
who do not know that, eight years ago, nine years ago,
actually I think it was out of nine. I was
in a show called The Bachelor.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Yeah, which is where you met my lovely co host
and your wife Laura.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Right, I was once the most eligible man in the country.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
I think you'll find it's the most eligible man that
was available. I'm sorry, Like, what.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Are you doing. We don't have to attack me like
that on the show, Brittany, Okay, I'll just keep laughing
at my expense.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
I'm the one that got dumbed from The Bachelor.
Speaker 6 (32:26):
For me.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
So I was at this cafe and I was sitting
down there with a mate, and look, it doesn't happen
that much, you know, it was a really long time
ago that I was on the show. So I definitely
these days it's really it's back of mind, people stopping
me for a photo. What it does happen? Like, I'll
be honest, I don't know if you feel the same
when you get asked for a photo. It's really nice.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Yeah, I mean, do.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
You enjoy it?
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (32:51):
I I because Laura and I have our podcast Life
on Card. It has a really big audience. So we
get a lot of lifers.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
You actually, yeah, you get it a lot more.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Yeah, we get lifers.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Yeah, and it's great. It's a lovely interaction. You make
people's day, give them a moment of your time. And
I enjoy it, if I'm being really honest. So I
was at the cafe and I could kind of see
in the corner of my eye there was a group
of young people and they had their phone out and
they were kind of looking at me in my direction.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
You think they were like seecret squirrel trying to feel me, And.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
No, they look like they just wanted a photo with me.
They had the phone out there, they're kind of looking
at you, and they're they're a bit nervous to ask
for a photo.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
I feel uncomfortable for some reason because I just know
this is going to go somewhere.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
I don't think it's going to go and.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
And for me, I straight away I spotted the situation.
I identified it, and I thought I'm more than happy to oblige,
and it's a little bit awkward, and sometimes they're a
bit shy, and so sometimes I just go, do you
know what, I'll come up.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
I'll come to you.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
I don't need you to ask. I can read between
the lines. So I got up and I walked over
and I was like, hey, guys, how are you going?
And I grabbed the phone and I sat down with them,
and I, you know, I've got a long arm, and
so I got the phone out there and I smiled
and I was like, hey, everyone, did us again? You know,
(34:12):
been in these moments? And I was like, I want
to make their day. I want to give them something
to remember. I'm sure they're here on holiday and you
know how nice for them. They got to meet manage
at a cafe. So I take the photo.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
I just want you to stop.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
And I thought to myself, Oh, they're really not into this,
like they should be enjoying it a lot more because
they're getting and they didn't even have to ask. They're
getting the star treatment. And they looked really confused, and
I was kind of like, ah, this is this is
not what I was expecting. You know, you're welcome. And
then they go, oh, can you just take a photo
(34:44):
of them? They didn't know who I was, and I
just thought, this guy looks like I just wanted someone
like a photo. And then hears me getting up out
of my seat, just being the good man that I am.
Love man so confused, and I was like, oh, yeah,
you just okay?
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Did you tell them? Do you like, well, here's my
he's my wikipedia. Of course.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
I just took a couple of steps back and I
was like, I'll take a photo everyone. There you go.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
That is absolutely mortified.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
I got my coffee and I went home and I
was like, a damn it.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
You know that that has happened to me before, where
it's it's been close but not quite that where somebody
has come up and said excuse me, and they've got
their phone out and I'm like, oh, they're gonna want
a photo and I was like.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Yes, and they just wanted directions.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
No, they just want you to take a photo of
them exactly that. It's like you're at a lookout or
something and they thought that You're like, they want a photo,
but the absolutely don't.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
It's very mortificate.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Well, thank you, thank you making me feel a little
bit better about myself.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Did they even try to ask.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
You who you were, no careless, quirky, funny guy, and
they were just so confused by it all.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
So anyway, they put a complaint in that there's some
creep at the cafe.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
Hopefully this radio show will regnite my celebrity flame.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Okay, so if you see Maddy j please go up
and ask me. Make him feel better.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
Love of God, I made it. Look. If you have
an unforgettable or a wild birth story, I would love
for you to give us a call right now. This
is off the back of Laura gave birth about three
and a half weeks ago. To Poppy, shout out to her.
And there's a little kitchenette in the hospital. And for
anyone who doesn't know, giving birth takes a little while.
So I would go to this kitchenette, I'll get a
(36:18):
cup of coffee and I would interact with other dads.
One dad told me his birth story, which was wild,
from when the waters broke. It was about twenty minutes. Okay,
he was in the car on the hospital.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Chris Beeby gave birth on the side of the road.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
He did it himself on the phone of Triple zero.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
He birthed the child.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Yeah, I mean, made an awful mess in the car,
but a beautiful baby off the back of that.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
That's insane.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Could you imagine, Britt.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Well, my sister gave birth on one panatole in forty minutes?
What did and five weeks early to slip on out?
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Okay, there's got to be wild stories out there in Australia.
And here we go, Oh, we've got Dana on the line.
What Dana, what is your wild birth story?
Speaker 5 (37:00):
Well, it's not my birth story, but it is my
mom's on how I came into this world. So twenty
two years ago, my mom gave birth to me and
she didn't know that she was having twins.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Another one slid out?
Speaker 2 (37:14):
How does that happen?
Speaker 5 (37:16):
It's so random. So initially when she first gave birth
to me, the midwife was like, oh, yeah, that's fine.
I got taken over and got checked out. My dad
went over and then they were like, we actually have
just found another foot. We know you got out a push,
but you can't. And so she thought I was deformed.
She thought I came out and my foot was like
(37:37):
detached from me.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 5 (37:39):
So they come over and they're like, you're actually about
to have another another baby, and it never picked up
in ultrasounds because both mine and my brother's heartbeat was
in sync, so it only ever picked up one heartbeat
and both of our spines were aligned as well.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Oh my god. That's equal parts beautiful and equal parts
a nightmare. Almost like when you're in a running race
and you think you finished, they go, oh, no, you
got one more lap to go.
Speaker 5 (38:06):
It was and.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
Very similar. I've been there, I know what your mom's
been through.
Speaker 5 (38:13):
But yeah, they came over and they're like, you're gonna
have another baby. So then my mum called my dad
over and she was like, you kind of have to
go refund the PRAM and he's like, what do you mean.
She's like, of course, I'm about to push out another one.
And he passed out on the floor and she gave
birth to my brother with no painkillers.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
And show me, that's your worst nightmare. Is like you
prepped yourself for one and then a surprise baby pops
out and you're like, wow.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Doan't thank you very much? I've got other call here.
It's Briah. What is your wild birth story?
Speaker 7 (38:45):
Hi guys, I actually delivered my sister's baby. Yeah, backseat
of her car, and at the time, I was also
thirty weeks pregnant.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Oh that's in did you go really early?
Speaker 3 (38:57):
Like, how does that happen?
Speaker 4 (38:59):
No?
Speaker 7 (39:00):
So I was thirty weeks pregnant, but my sister was
full chance, she was like thirty nine weeks and something.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Yeah, I just couldn't make it to the hospital.
Speaker 7 (39:09):
No, no, So she was her second birth, and she
with her first, she had an epidural quite early on.
So with this one, she was like, I want to
actually feel what labor's like, and she definitely did, and
she obviously just left it far too long. So we
were on the way to the hospital. We were probably
only five minutes away, to.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
Be honest, so close, and you pulled it out.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
So, Brian, what is the hardest part about helping someone
give birth?
Speaker 7 (39:38):
Well, for me, it was actually that she had a
full drive and she was in the backseat and I
couldn't maneuver myself in there because I had a giant
belly as well.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
And you, like, it wasn't a two seater convertible.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Thank you, Brian. Natalie, what is your wild birth story?
Speaker 6 (39:57):
My wild birth story is that the to set the
scene back in the August twenty twenty three Matilda's versus
France penalty shootout.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
I remember, well, what a game while so stressful.
Speaker 6 (40:09):
Yeah, so I was watching it at home, but yeah,
the stress of it put me into labor. I had
my baby by the next morning.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Do you call it Matilda?
Speaker 6 (40:18):
Well, my obstitution. Funny that I'm obstitution while I was
being operated on through my c sections, you know, I'm
setting scene pulling out all my organs and trying to
get to the baby. Was like, so we're calling this
baby Matilda and I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah, me just
wanting the baby out. And then my husband was like, oh,
we need to correct that. It's actually Jasmine. So I
(40:41):
didn't end up calling it Matilda.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
When you're in that position, you'll agree to anything, right,
exactly exactly someone's in your abdomen. Sure, yeah, so just
appear as safe. If anyone is close to the do date,
do not watch any Matilda games.
Speaker 5 (40:55):
That's right, Thank you so much for the call.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Is that just insane the number of people that are
just popping babies out in the back of their cars
or in the car.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Parks all of a sudden. I'm like, Poppy's birth was pretty.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
Boring and totally you should be lucky.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
No, I wish we would have been a bit more
spice on that
Speaker 1 (41:10):
Birth, either for you to say you're not doing it.
This episode was recorded on Cameragle Land. Hi guys, and
welcome back to another episode of Life Fun Cut. I
am Brittany.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
My name is Mattie Jay. Do you think people are
enjoying me being here? No one said anything. I'm waiting
for someone to tap me on the shoulder and say, hey,
it's been really fun. But I've had nothing.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
I'd been fielding the results.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yes, what feedback?
Speaker 1 (00:25):
You know, the feedback has been good. If you're just
joining us today, this is our radio show, so we
package up the best of our radio show Monday to
Friday through the week, we give it to hear in
one little spot. Laura is off on maternity leave. And
do you know what I figured out? I can't say
maternity leave. Look, I can't say it. Everyone say it. It
runs together.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I've noticed you stopped saying it when you're like, Laura's
not here because she's away.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Right now, Do you know what's you got this, Matt,
You've got him gizzel line right.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I've actually had these little nibs for six years, six
years because I didn't pay the bills.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
So you can go to another dentist to get them
taken on.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I'll do it. It's on my to do list.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
That I got in bisiline years ago. And then when you.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Think, by the way, thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
When you're getting bisil line at the end, you can
either like wear a mouthguard or you.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Can get the bar that's like put on the back
of your teeth.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yes, what do you have?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Got that?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
And the bar?
Speaker 1 (01:18):
It changed the way I spoke so I couldn't enunciate
the same way as I used to. And there are
some things that my tongue like must hit the back
of it, and maternity, like the maternity maternity, I.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Can't say it needs to tists an. Yeah, it's very hard.
It's very hard. But also, come on, help a guy out,
give me some feedback. I'm needy, Britt, I need something.
But also I do want to say before we get
into the show, I just want to honestly, hand on heart,
sit here and just say that you're doing a really
good job.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Thank you, producer Grace, like you're doing well for I'm
just the whole team right now.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I'm just wow. Laura is so lucky to work with
such a talented mix of individuals. But is there a butt, Grace,
you want to say something about me?
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Thank you? So much. You've been a joy and a delight.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
I sound like such a needy fuck, don't Jesus you?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
In all honesty, it's been very easy some people it's
not natural fault, but you're a natural talker and you
get it, and it definitely helps that we know each other.
If somebody just got planted in here and they're like, hey,
do a radio show with them, and you have no connection,
no history, no commonality.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I think it's really hard.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I've spent more time with Britt in the last couple
of weeks than I have in the last two years.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
That's one hundred percent accurate. And for the last two years,
your wife Laura spent more time with me than she
has with you.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I know what the it's the universe flipped it is.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah, But why am I always the one that I
won't spend time with other people? Why am I stuck
with YouTube?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Unpacked? This on another episode? But this show? I love
birth stories. If there is one thing I like doing
when I meet someone who's a parent, I'm straight away like,
give me the guy, ask what happened? Birth story? Hit me.
But we've got some wild and unforgettable birth stories, not
just one that I heard Poppy was born, but also
from the listeners.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
You need to speak to my sister Sherry. She has
a crazy bit.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
No, I don't know, remind me to call her after that.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
They had to call her. It's a bit extreme, but
like next time we're all at dinner or something.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I was just being polite. I wasn't actually got a
call out. I was just you know, in the moment,
I was like, yeah, I reach out.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
You got her in Speeddar. Yeah, yeah, no, okay, you know,
I just I'll give you a little hint now. So basically,
she was five weeks early. She was over in Scotland
and she just got like a little uncomfortable, a little pain.
So they were like, and Sherry has really high blood
pressure so they did have to monitor the blood pressure
throughout her pregnancy. So she thought, I'm going to do
the right thing and I'll just go and get the
blood pressure checked. So she goes in and they look
(03:38):
at her, they do all the tests they check to
see like downstairs if there's dilation or whatever, and they're
like you're fine, Like what are you here for? She
goes I just feel weird, like something's happening. They're like look,
you do have high blood PRESSU We're gonna monitor you.
So Cherry called me and she said she facetimes me
and I was on the way to work and she said, hey,
just keeping your posting. I'm in the hospital, not in labor.
(03:59):
Nothing is wrong.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
I just they're checking my blood pressure. They're not going
to release me until.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
The pressure is down, so I'm gonna probably be here
a couple of hours. And I was like, okay, cool,
keep me pasted. So then she starts to feel big
pains in her tommy and she calls the nurse over
and she's like, I'm sorry, like this isn't weird. Something's escalating.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
But also when it's your first, like you just don't
know what you don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah, but she wasn't in pain, but she was getting pains,
but she was fine, but she was like, something's happening anyway.
The nurse again was like you're fine. This continued to
happen and the pain increased, and I'm talking over ten
to fifteen minutes, very quickly. She called them back over
again she was in pain. They were like they just
thought this girl's ridiculous. They gave her one paracetamol gave
(04:43):
her a paracetamol. Anyway, She's like, I think I'm having
a baby. They looked down and they were like, you're
not You're not dilated. Fifteen minutes later, she was screaming
in the ward, pulling her clothes off. Yeah, ripping her
clothes off, going, I'm pushing. Something is happening. They ran back,
thought she was exaggerating, looked down. The baby was coming
(05:03):
out from go to woe from when she went in
forty minutes since she had a baby.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
That is unbelievable. What was the brand of that paracetamol?
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Give me some I what is that not insane?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
That is I'm also fire that nurse? Well it was
multiple nurse, Yeah, far more.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Anyway, that's the birth story. So hey, we're gonna talk
birth stories on the podcast. We've got some good callers,
didn't we.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
We've got some great story. Shout out to the life
on Cut facebook group who gave us some crackers. But
we're going to speak to a few.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Listeners and I have a million dollar question this week.
Can you or is it cheating if you dress up
in like a joint costume.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
With somebody that's not your partner.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
It depends what kind of costume.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Horse costume, specifically far out the red flag.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
We're gonna unpack it, believe it or not.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Enjoy Brittany, I'm not sure if you've seen who's been
making headlines. It's a politician.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
This could be anyone.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
It's not Donald Trump. It's an Aussie politician. Do you
know what it is?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Any guesses every politician every single week makes a headline
in Australia, not for the right reason.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Well, on this occasion, it is none other than Pauline Hanson.
She's still politician and she I think she is. Is
she semi retired? Not suret Jail, that's for another chat.
She's been attacking the brown paper bag that you get
from a supermarket. Of all people to attack.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
A brown paper bag, why on earth would she attack
a brown paper bag?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I mean, actually we could between let's have a listen
to what she said.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Buy these cheap rubbish bags that's split and break on
you all the time.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I'm over it.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
I'm sorry, angry.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
About this.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
And five cents a bag, boys and coles. Get your
act together with the bags and a good day. Get
your act together with the bags.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Do you know what it's?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Probably the only thing I maybe semi agree with Pauline
on in anything she's ever said.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Look, and I think there's a lot of people out
there that are in a similar position to yourself. They're
on the fence and they're thinking, oh my gosh, is
this going to happen? Am I going to side with
Pauline Hanson on this issue? Okay? And I, for one
am here to defend the brown paper bag?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
So what's her issue that it just split some brakes.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
And doesn't actually do what's supposed to do.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
She's angry about the condition of the bag. It's too weak,
and it's too expensive twenty five cents. It's not worth it.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
What I will say is this was not planned. I'm
not making this up. Yesterday I did go to the
supermarket and I literally I wasn't in self service. Somebody
served me and I picked the brown bag up and
as I picked it up, it just split and dropped
to the ground.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
And I hadn't even moved. Oh my gosh, I didn't
even take it a step.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
You are pauling Hanson right now?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Ever, relate to pull in here?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Sorry, so too far, too far?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
So what are we going to do today?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Okay? Well, I have in the studio today, a genuine
brown paper bag from a supermarket does look a bit used,
and thanks to a producer, Grace, who was I think
she's dug this one out of under the sink. It's
not a crisp bag.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
It was in my desk drawers.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
I keep them in case I need to pop out
for lush better days.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
We don't know how how often this one has been used,
but I've been told from industry insiders that they do
have a weight test of six kilograms. I've got a
luggage scale here, and we're going to find out on
the radio live just how much weight these bags can
actually take.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
What we are trying to do is prove pulling hands
and wrong live on it.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yeah, exactly, look at the wear and tear on this back.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
All right, so we're be used once, guys. We're attaching
the scales.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
And now I'm going to start with the big guns. Okay,
I want to go straight to a sandbag. This is
five kilograms.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
My god, that brings us to work to do sandbag
lunges in the breaks.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
All right, five's a lot.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I'm nervous, but that's almost the whole I mean, we've
only got six kilos. This is a good test, so
throw her in.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Okay, this could be over very quickly.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I think that's probably pretty standard for you know. Okay,
let's go. Can I pick Let's go the tomato sauce next.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I thought you'd never ask.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Or you're going to weigh it each time.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
It's going to you know, oh my god, Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Okay, acts like you're walking, so it needs some bounce walking.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
There's a bit of bounce there, and it's holding that
bag is struggling, shoulder is shaking right now, Okay, can
confirm five kilos.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Okay, great, Let's add in the tomato sauce and maybe a.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Popper in the bag. Currently there's a sand bag, tomato sauce,
a water bottle, and a popper. Oh my goodness, Oh my.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
God, you're the bounce. Look at that. What if you
have to run for the bus.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I'm going all in. I'm going to add in a
water bottle.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
And I don't even know if I'll be able to
lift this with one arm. That's how much weight is
currently in the bag and the bag is withholding. Okay,
this may be the last test that we do. I
don't know who good stuff to keep on doing this.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
I don't know if you'll be coming back.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
You're hoping the bag next.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Okay, all right, let's go give it some muscle.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Go Oh my god, okay, give it some running for
the bus. You're running for the bus.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Look at that way? What wait is that?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
That's almost nine killers? That's impressing.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Are you not impressed?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Breaday? Yeah I am. I don't know if you need
to yell, but I'm thoroughly impressed because my bags are
breaken before and like.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
A box of tissues in there. Oh, we're going with
the whole whole hog.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
We put another sandbag in so two sandbags, two poppers,
two drink bottles, tomatoes, so all we got. It's broken.
It's broken. What's the way I don't know. He can't
hold it off and he's about to pop it. We've
got a crack.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Whye okay, oh my god, Pauline Hanson, you heard it
here first? How dare you.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
You heard it here?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
That's like that was fourteen kilos at least it.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Must mean So that's that's I'm calling it. Double that bag?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Then what it says you could put a small child
in that bag.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
You could carry Poppy in there.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Yeah, you don't need a pram round paper bag.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Thanks Matt for bringing.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
That up proving the segment. But all of Australia was wondering,
how much is going a paper bag hole?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
You hear? Hey, something's happened to me recently and I
don't know if I'm overreacting here. Okay, okay, so Poppy,
we have just given birth. When I say we, I
me my wife Laura. Poppy is now coming up to
three weeks old. Our time for wow, it just where
it's going so quick?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Be on college soon?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Goodness me, it is dragging on. I'm so tired right now.
But we decided over the weekend to venture out a
little escape from the house, get some fresh air, get
the other kids outside. We thought it'd be a lovely moment,
of course, beautiful and Poppy just had a feed. I
was holding Poppy. Laura then went for a little wanderer
around the park with the other girls, Marley and Lola.
(12:09):
So I was standing there holding Poppy and I kind
of forget that, Like I'm desensitized now to it, to
a newborn and its size, but for other people seeing
a newborn.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
That fresh, so tiny, out.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
In the open, you know, people and it's nice. They go,
oh my gosh, she's so tiny, and I go, yes,
three weeks old, the normal small toy poppy. Yeah, yes,
I'm the bachelor, that's right. Yeah it did work.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Yes, my wife has left me and I'm a single time.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Yeah, I'm on the three BM pick up every day.
But then one person came over and we were having
a really nice chat and she was a parent. Her
kids were playing in the park and then she was like,
just look at her little feet. Look at them, and
I was like, yeah, they're really tiny. And then she
started touching her feet and I was I didn't want
(12:57):
to say anything, but I was like, I'm just i've
just met you. And I'm also a bit funny about
germs right now, because you know the kids for example,
like you gotta wash your hands before you touch the child.
And all of a sudden, this woman is touching the feet.
But I was like, it's just the feet's fine. Yeah,
and then she was like, look at her little fingers.
The fingers are so Sposh was like, gosh, she's touching
her fingers and I was like again, I was like,
(13:18):
I'll let this one slide. I don't want to make
it awkward between myself and the parent. She has good intentions.
And then she was stroking her face so well. I
just it was such a gradual build up. But by
the time she was touching Poppy's face and like stroking
her little head, You'd let it. I'd let it happen.
(13:38):
And I thought to myself, this will be over in
the blink of an eye, and I didn't want to
make it weird. But I was thinking to myself, do
I have to tell people frontend when they come over,
do not touch the child.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
I think that's tricky.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I totally get I think the feet are free go
zone like I think feet you can do, feet of
fair game, you can touch them, I think, But I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Disclaimer.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I'm not a parent, but I did work in a
hospital in an emergency for thirteen years. I've been around
the germs. I get the vaccination thing.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
I get it all.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I think it is one hundred percent okay for you
to ask a stranger not to touch your baby, especially
a newborn, because if your child gets sick, it can
be devastating, especially at that young And I.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Don't think you need to feel awkward it just means
you're a good person.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
You feel uncomfortable making someone else feel uncomfortable, and I
think that just makes you a good person. But there
are some things I think you need to throw to
the side. And if it's a stranger at a park
who has germs on their hand, doesn't mean they're a
dirty person.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
We all have germs.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
And then they're touching her face.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
It's like, so, I think this is a bit of
a PSA. Then, to anyone out there who was a parent,
I get that you're a parent. You understand it. It
doesn't give you this ability to then touch other people's children.
But then just when I thought the worst of it
was over, she was then touching the feet again, and
she goes, oh, it's a bit cold. I think she
might need some socks.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Oh she told you how to parent.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
She's touched my child, and now she's had going to
go at me for what she's wearing.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Maybe she thinks you're the first time parent. Maybe she
thought you were a single dad and your wife had
left and you were struggling with the three.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Well, I was holding Poppy upside down. But that's not
the point.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Alright, there's your PSA from that no touching people's faces.
We have Maddie Jay in the studio with us, feeling
in for Laura while she's on maternity leave.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Oh look, it's great to be here, Brett. It's great
to be here.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
It's lovely to have you.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
You know, it's nice just to have a little break
from the family and the kids.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
If I'm Honestone, I wouldn't put that out there. It's fine,
maybe's three weeks old.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
It's awkward.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I would love you to tell me if you get
sucked into this as frequently as I do, because I
know a lot of people are out there getting scammed
and getting fooled every day, but I seem to be
doing it a lot. Now, this is a PSA for anyone.
You really need to be METI literate. You need to
know where you're getting your news from and what you're reading.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
It's hard to spot the fake news, Brett, it really is. Well.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
I got sucked in big time this week. So at
the start of the week, basically on a Sunday night,
we all get together in the team and we just
say what's been going on for the week, what's going
on in our lives? Has anything grabbed us this week? Like,
it's a very normal kind of content production meeting.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
But Sunday nights that's when they get you. That's when
your guard is down.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
It is because you're so relaxed.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
On the lounge, that's when they'll find you and they'll
get you.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I think there's a study somewhere that someone did that
said that you trust more on a Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
I believe it absolutely fake news.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Got youd.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
No.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
But what it was is so we had this production
meeting and we're all sending us stuff in for the week,
and what interested us? And I said producer Grace, I
was like, put this in. This is absolutely crazy. We
need to talk about this. I was like, I cannot
believe this is happening. Maybe we can start some kind
of a petition. I'm sure there's a petition happening in
France as we speak now. It was a news article
saying that the Eiffel Tower is being demolished next year,
(16:51):
because that's right. Yeah, And it did have a lot
of background to it. It was quite in depth. It
said that when a contract had had water.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
When you say a lot of background to it, like.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
It was the sentences when you dropped down it was a.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Link that said the contract had it was it was
up for a new ale and they may not rend.
The French government may decide that enough's enough.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
It was so unusual the details that I was like,
must be real, because they were like it had something
like one hundred and thirty six year lease contract and
it was up and France was like, we just can't
afford to maintain anymore. It's pretty believable, is it the home,
isn't it?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
You're a clever woman, brit Well.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
To be fair, I didn't actually click on the link.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
It was just the headline do you have a university degree?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah? I do.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
It just was the.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Headline and I got sucked. I'm my own worst enemy,
so I Senator Grace. Grace was absolutely mortified, laughed in
my face and sent it back and said, you're a loser.
The Eiffel Tower is not being demolished, and I got
I'm just sick of it. I don't know how to
tell anymore.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Do I have to chaperone you out of the studio
when there's finishes and make sure you don't get done
by the wallet inspectors because I'm worried about you.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Brett honestly, skin, that's not AI. My problem is AI
has gotten so good.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
That's it. That's not AI because it's an article.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Was a photoshop as well?
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Well?
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Of it already gone. I believed it.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
No, but surely okay, we laugh, We laughed, We laughed.
Producer Grace, tell me the video that you sent me
that you thought was fascinating. I sent almost everyone in
my contact list a video of a seagull riding an scooter,
and I was like, that's so cleversity learned to do this.
It was real. Sorry, as if the Eiffel Tower had
(18:26):
been demolished at the end of one hundred and thirty
six year least, that is more believable than a seagull
writing a electric screwter.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I thought just the.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Power of his wings was propelling. It was the power
of Look.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I just want to just remind you, Britt that it
wasn't actually AI that you got done by. It was
just a false article.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
All right, what have you been done? I don't believe
you're not getting done by AI?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Okay, well I got I did, on one occasion get done.
I like to think of myself as being pretty cluey,
but it was a little while ago, they had the
bunny rabbits on a trampoline.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah. Ever, no, you know what got me?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
I believed that, Oh, I'm sure you did.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
And then I all fifty videos and each video had
a different animal on the trampoline.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
The sausage dogs, that's right.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I was like, it's not that many animals.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Any seagulls on their grades.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Seagulls didn't make it to the say about their Kids's.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
The wild world, Brittany. Right now the nation is divided,
are they? Yeah? They really are, and and I'm I'm
upset by it, if I'm honest. And when I say divided,
there are two camps. There is the camp of people
that love and embrace Halloween, and on the other side
(19:32):
are the people who think that it should be left
to the Americans.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
My first thought is, you get upset very easily.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
I'm an emotional man, Brittany, I really am. But I
was on TikTok and I saw a post that was
done by Sarah's Day. I don't know if you're.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Familiar with she is an influencer.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
She's like a bit of a fitness influencer. She's got
a few kids, but she's got one point two million
on Instagram. She's got about three hundred thousand on.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
TikTok influencer influencer.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
But she's got a huge audience, right. She did a
post about the fact that she will not be dressing
up her kids for Halloween, and it got really mixed
responses in the comments. Let me just read you a
couple Okay, I'm going to let this news marinate as
I tell you that some people were all for it
and saying this just made me love you a thousand
or million times more US two xxx. But then, in
(20:20):
contrast that, the next comment, which got over a thousand likes,
it says it's not that deep. It's just about candy
and dressing up as a cute pumpkin.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I would say that I'm with that comment.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
It's just about candy, right, So it's this dress up
party to get candy, right.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
I mean, I will admit, back in the day before
I had kids, I was anti halloweens. Same I was
an anti halloweenist.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
I was too, but you know why I was like
as a kid, I don't know what your youth was
like in your your mum's parenting, But I grow up again, Well,
I grew up in Port Macquarie, which is like a
town in between the.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Gold Coast in Sydney. It's like a beach town.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
But we were always told like every Halloween it was like, oh,
it's so American, we don't do that here. And I
can remember how little houses like got part of it,
like we didn't feel like we were missing out because
it's not like every house in the street was participating.
So it was like you didn't really understand that it
was even a thing because just.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
No one used to do it.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Because the issue is Australia's too bloody big and all
the houses are too far away from each other, so
growing up to walk to the next house for us
was like a couple of minutes no one.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Could be bothering.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
My mom was like, I'm not walking around with five
kids knocking.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
No.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I just remember my mum always saying the same thing,
just going it's too American, Like it was such an
American iceed Okay.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
But now that I've got young girls, and I see
the joy in their faces when they get to pick
their costumes, they get to dress up, they get to
go out there knock on people's door, get free chocolate
and free candy.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
But we can't. You can't win with kids like you
spend your whole life saying, don't take Kenny from strangers,
and then Halloween comes, you like except this one day
of the year.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
And that's what we really try and drill into them,
that it's this one little window that we're allowed to
do it, and they love it. I dare say that
our family, and especially my kids, they love Halloween more
than Christmas. There I said it. I said it. It's
out there.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
That's a big case.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I will die on that hill. But I think I
think we should all collectively as a country, stop swimming
against the tide here, embrace Halloween open arms. And it's amazing.
You could come halloweening with us if I I'm god.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
You're the first person ever invite me. Maybe that's why
you don't like it.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
You've not had an infight.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
No friends all come with us.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I at the moment, at this stage of my life,
don't have kids. I hate when Halloween comes and it's
not I want the kids to have fun. I do
not want a hundred people knocking at my door to
give them candy.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
I just don't want it. I just pretend I'm not home.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I'm not proud of it.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
And that's the best part of Halloween. You can be
in the camp of people that want to stay home
and just open the door throw candy at kids, or
you can come with us. You can dress up as.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
I don't know people here.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
A witch, ah, a beautiful princess.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
There we go, I am.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
But there's plenty of time thirty first of October. Just
in case you don't know it is coming. You don't
have to think of a costume idea right now.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Will you find me a costume?
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Absolutely? I thought you'd never ask.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Okay, if you get me a costume, I'll wear whatever
you get me.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
How's about that for radio?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
But what I will say is I do have a reason.
I'm not just a gringe. I remember I did it.
I was like, you know what, I'm going to be
a better person.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
I'm going to get amongst it.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
And I got the candy and I got ready and
I just this one kid, I'll never forget him. I
gave him his candy and he goes, is that it?
That's what he said? And I was like, get lost
your brat, And then I closed the curtains and I
didn't do it ever again, I was like, you, ungrateful
little brat.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
How old was that kid?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Twenty eight? All right, well, I can't wait to see
what you're gonna pick for me. But yeah, I food
for thought. I do think Australia's changing. I think we
are admitting defeat and opening our arms up to Halloween.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
It's not defeat, that's the wrong word.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Now, Matt, it's Thursday, so just to get you up
to speed, I know it's still early days for you,
but we do ask guncut every Thursday. That's what we
do on our podcast, Life on Cup podcast.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
You know I love asking carts.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
You do love it.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I've been such a big fan since way back when.
I just love getting involved in other people's business.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Well, this one I picked particularly for you because you
have a very lived experience. We have Stacy in the
line who is having some issues with her partner and
a cat. Stacy, just explain to everyone what the issue is.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
Okay, So we lost our family cats earlier this year,
so which was quite hard at the time, as we
all know what losing a petty's life.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Stacy, I'm so sorry, thank you.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
But I feel I'm ready to guess another cat. But
My husband is very much against it around, Like I
mentioned it a couple of months ago and he's like,
I'm not ready, Like I didn't realize how much the
loss would affect me. So I'll give you time. I
respect that, but now I'm at the point that I
really want a cat companion. He's a shift worker, so
(24:56):
there's times like I'm home alone, so it's like I'm
having the around. I don't know how to go about
just going to get one.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Look, this is a really complicated situation. You found yourself in, Stacey,
and thank you mate, and again my heart goes out
to you and your family regarding the loss of your cat.
Can I ask was it your boyfriend or husband?
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Husband?
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Husband?
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Kat kind of came into our lives. It was nine
years ago. We kind of half adopted in woman to
have him for a weekend, and nine years later we
still had him. So his name was Syllem s I
l o M really weird. So he's called him silly Catty.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
I'm judging it's a really weird name.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
I hate.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Yeah, it wasn't our choice, so we stuck with silly cat,
but yeah, he was. It was funny because we kind
of got him right at the beginning of our relationship
as well. So it was we just moved in together,
probably three weeks before we kind of rescued him.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
I'm going to tell you something very important, and if
I could just ask quickly before I tell you this information,
can you just take a quick seat, if you're not
already seated, if that's okay. So men, and I say
this as a man, we are really dumb. Okay, we
don't know what we want.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
I'm so glad you said that.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Ok. And sometimes we just dig our heels in for
just the sake of digging our heels in. We just
want to dig him in. We'll dig him into anything.
And I was once your husband in a sense. Laura
had a cat. She was called Lady and a Cat
on her Instagram. She had a cat, can't remember its name,
not important, and it died, was hit by a car.
(26:32):
And Laura said, I want a new cat, and I
said no, and she then went out got the cat.
And when I saw the cat, I was like, oh
my gosh, I actually did really want a cat and
I didn't know it.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
So let me just extend this conversation a little bit.
Matt said he didn't want a cat. Laura brought the
cat home, Matt was like, so cute, and then a
week later he was like, I don't want the cat anymore.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
That is an absolute lie, and stay sea. It's important
for you to stay focused on what I am saying.
In this situation. I am the expert here. Go out
buy any cat that you like, and I guarantee, regardless
of the breed, regardless of the sex, regardless of the name,
your husband will love this cat.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
So divorced, I can come back to you, right, I
think it's guaranteed.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
No, I think in all seriousness, like, of course you're
supposed to meet in the middle as a couple and
like both agree on something. But I would say, in
this situation, your feelings and your situation at home in
terms of being alone all the time, I think that
supersedes him saying no, I don't want one. So I
think you just need to say, Look, it's really important
to me, Like I feel really lonely when you're not here.
I feel like I need something or someone else in
(27:38):
the house. And if it's not going to be someone,
it can be a cat. That's what I would get.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
And I completely agree. That's kind of where I've tried
to like starting to lead it gain if.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
It does an in divorce. Brittany has a spare room
in her apartment, so you're totally fine.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
I'm a cat, I'm a catface.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
I'm a cat phra Space. Hey, good luck, Stacy. Thank
you for calling us, but thank you so much. I
do have some good news. You might not get a cat,
but you do get some Sony earbuds just for calling
us today. These are like, there's a really really good
noise canceling tech clearer calls. They're very stylish, so they're
all yours just for calling up today.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
I really appreciate it, and thank you so much for
the advice, and thank you about it. You're doing a
great job in the seat, I'll tell you that much.
I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
You're very welcome. Thank you, Stacy.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Matt, this is a good question for you.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Hit me nothing I love more than an am I
the a whole thread. Yeah, so I've got one that's
about is it or isn't it cheating? Now let me
set the scene. There's a lovely little couple. She works
in an office.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
What are the names?
Speaker 3 (28:41):
It's anonymous. It's anonymous.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Not important to continue.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yeah, not important. So she works in an office and
there's always been a little bit of something that the
boyfriend has been worried about. He's like, there's one person
at the office that they call Spencer that he thinks
is a little bit too flirty with his girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Nothing's happened, Spencer, red Flag, straight up, Spenny Speno. Yeah,
not for me.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
So the boyfriend's like, you know what got my eye
on you, buddy. Nothing's happened, but I can see you
looking at my girl. So she's come home and she
has said that the office is having a dress up
party and she has decided to team up in.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
A couple's costume with this Spencer character.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Okay, that's not too bad, right, not too bad?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Are you going in matching banana's in pajamas?
Speaker 2 (29:25):
That's great, that's fun.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
They have decided to go as a horse, so the
same costume. You know, one has to bend over and
the other one backs up into it, and then there's
one horse costume.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
It's not like she's riding on the back of Spencer.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
I think it's worse.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Have a look, my god. That no, that's okay.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
So he's the boyfriend's like, bro, this is like borderline
cheating if you're.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
It's okay for anyone who obviously can't watch us right now.
It is one where you kind of have to like
one person is standing up, the other person who's the
behind the back legs has to bend over. It's really
intimate and you're you're encased in the costumes.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
One person's head has to be in another's butt. Whichever
way you do it, there's nowhere else to go. And
I don't know if you're the girl, are you wanting
his head in your butt or your butt or you're
heading his butt?
Speaker 2 (30:14):
I think both scenarios. There is no good outcome here.
I think this very much falls into the category of
it being murky, and if it's murky, get out of
the water.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Well, yeah, because there might be crocodiles.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Right.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
So the boyfriend is like, look, you're going to be
connected literally all days. It necessary. You can go as
anything you want. Why have you chosen the only thing
that has to be like heads in butts?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
I don't like it. And to me, this falls into
the same category as like if your partner right starts
watching a TV series without you with somebody.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Else, or like on the in distance or something.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Yeah, I don't I don't like it. If if they're
watching episodes in sync, I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
It does make you think about all those things that's like,
it's I mean, dressing up as a horse isn't cheating,
but it sort of goes that way of being inappropriate.
But it makes you think of, like what those little things.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
And I think it's like when you get matching tattoos.
I don't like it.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Well, if you're not a couple, not.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
For me, alarm bells, but it's things like massages together. No,
I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Brushing, like someone reaches and brushes hair off someone's face
or tucks it behind the ear.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Popping a pimple not cheating, gross, but that's murky. Murky.
Crocodiles are looming.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Fixing someone's tie, you know, like you're right up into
it and you're doing that little wiggle and you make
eye condact and your lips are closed and it's heavy
breathing inappropriate.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Right, what about tying a shoelace?
Speaker 3 (31:31):
I think that's.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
So you think it's fine, all right, all right, So
Matt and I are.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Going as a horse to the Okay, it's murky, britt crocodiles. Remember, Brittany,
this is gonna sound really self indulgent, But yesterday I
was spotted.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Is at the end of the center.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
I was look, I was on for those of you
who do not know that, eight years ago, nine years ago,
actually I think it was out of nine. I was
in a show called The Bachelor.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Yeah, which is where you met my lovely co host
and your wife Laura.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Right, I was once the most eligible man in the country.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
I think you'll find it's the most eligible man that
was available. I'm sorry, Like, what.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Are you doing. We don't have to attack me like
that on the show, Brittany, Okay, I'll just keep laughing
at my expense.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
I'm the one that got dumbed from The Bachelor.
Speaker 6 (32:26):
For me.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
So I was at this cafe and I was sitting
down there with a mate, and look, it doesn't happen
that much, you know, it was a really long time
ago that I was on the show. So I definitely
these days it's really it's back of mind, people stopping
me for a photo. What it does happen? Like, I'll
be honest, I don't know if you feel the same
when you get asked for a photo. It's really nice.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Yeah, I mean, do.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
You enjoy it?
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (32:51):
I I because Laura and I have our podcast Life
on Card. It has a really big audience. So we
get a lot of lifers.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
You actually, yeah, you get it a lot more.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Yeah, we get lifers.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Yeah, and it's great. It's a lovely interaction. You make
people's day, give them a moment of your time. And
I enjoy it, if I'm being really honest. So I
was at the cafe and I could kind of see
in the corner of my eye there was a group
of young people and they had their phone out and
they were kind of looking at me in my direction.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
You think they were like seecret squirrel trying to feel me, And.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
No, they look like they just wanted a photo with me.
They had the phone out there, they're kind of looking
at you, and they're they're a bit nervous to ask
for a photo.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
I feel uncomfortable for some reason because I just know
this is going to go somewhere.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
I don't think it's going to go and.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
And for me, I straight away I spotted the situation.
I identified it, and I thought I'm more than happy to oblige,
and it's a little bit awkward, and sometimes they're a
bit shy, and so sometimes I just go, do you
know what, I'll come up.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
I'll come to you.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
I don't need you to ask. I can read between
the lines. So I got up and I walked over
and I was like, hey, guys, how are you going?
And I grabbed the phone and I sat down with them,
and I, you know, I've got a long arm, and
so I got the phone out there and I smiled
and I was like, hey, everyone, did us again? You know,
(34:12):
been in these moments? And I was like, I want
to make their day. I want to give them something
to remember. I'm sure they're here on holiday and you
know how nice for them. They got to meet manage
at a cafe. So I take the photo.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
I just want you to stop.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
And I thought to myself, Oh, they're really not into this,
like they should be enjoying it a lot more because
they're getting and they didn't even have to ask. They're
getting the star treatment. And they looked really confused, and
I was kind of like, ah, this is this is
not what I was expecting. You know, you're welcome. And
then they go, oh, can you just take a photo
(34:44):
of them? They didn't know who I was, and I
just thought, this guy looks like I just wanted someone
like a photo. And then hears me getting up out
of my seat, just being the good man that I am.
Love man so confused, and I was like, oh, yeah,
you just okay?
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Did you tell them? Do you like, well, here's my
he's my wikipedia. Of course.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
I just took a couple of steps back and I
was like, I'll take a photo everyone. There you go.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
That is absolutely mortified.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
I got my coffee and I went home and I
was like, a damn it.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
You know that that has happened to me before, where
it's it's been close but not quite that where somebody
has come up and said excuse me, and they've got
their phone out and I'm like, oh, they're gonna want
a photo and I was like.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Yes, and they just wanted directions.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
No, they just want you to take a photo of
them exactly that. It's like you're at a lookout or
something and they thought that You're like, they want a photo,
but the absolutely don't.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
It's very mortificate.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Well, thank you, thank you making me feel a little
bit better about myself.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Did they even try to ask.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
You who you were, no careless, quirky, funny guy, and
they were just so confused by it all.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
So anyway, they put a complaint in that there's some
creep at the cafe.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
Hopefully this radio show will regnite my celebrity flame.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Okay, so if you see Maddy j please go up
and ask me. Make him feel better.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
Love of God, I made it. Look. If you have
an unforgettable or a wild birth story, I would love
for you to give us a call right now. This
is off the back of Laura gave birth about three
and a half weeks ago. To Poppy, shout out to her.
And there's a little kitchenette in the hospital. And for
anyone who doesn't know, giving birth takes a little while.
So I would go to this kitchenette, I'll get a
(36:18):
cup of coffee and I would interact with other dads.
One dad told me his birth story, which was wild,
from when the waters broke. It was about twenty minutes. Okay,
he was in the car on the hospital.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Chris Beeby gave birth on the side of the road.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
He did it himself on the phone of Triple zero.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
He birthed the child.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Yeah, I mean, made an awful mess in the car,
but a beautiful baby off the back of that.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
That's insane.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Could you imagine, Britt.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Well, my sister gave birth on one panatole in forty minutes?
What did and five weeks early to slip on out?
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Okay, there's got to be wild stories out there in Australia.
And here we go, Oh, we've got Dana on the line.
What Dana, what is your wild birth story?
Speaker 5 (37:00):
Well, it's not my birth story, but it is my
mom's on how I came into this world. So twenty
two years ago, my mom gave birth to me and
she didn't know that she was having twins.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Another one slid out?
Speaker 2 (37:14):
How does that happen?
Speaker 5 (37:16):
It's so random. So initially when she first gave birth
to me, the midwife was like, oh, yeah, that's fine.
I got taken over and got checked out. My dad
went over and then they were like, we actually have
just found another foot. We know you got out a push,
but you can't. And so she thought I was deformed.
She thought I came out and my foot was like
(37:37):
detached from me.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 5 (37:39):
So they come over and they're like, you're actually about
to have another another baby, and it never picked up
in ultrasounds because both mine and my brother's heartbeat was
in sync, so it only ever picked up one heartbeat
and both of our spines were aligned as well.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Oh my god. That's equal parts beautiful and equal parts
a nightmare. Almost like when you're in a running race
and you think you finished, they go, oh, no, you
got one more lap to go.
Speaker 5 (38:06):
It was and.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
Very similar. I've been there, I know what your mom's
been through.
Speaker 5 (38:13):
But yeah, they came over and they're like, you're gonna
have another baby. So then my mum called my dad
over and she was like, you kind of have to
go refund the PRAM and he's like, what do you mean.
She's like, of course, I'm about to push out another one.
And he passed out on the floor and she gave
birth to my brother with no painkillers.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
And show me, that's your worst nightmare. Is like you
prepped yourself for one and then a surprise baby pops
out and you're like, wow.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Doan't thank you very much? I've got other call here.
It's Briah. What is your wild birth story?
Speaker 7 (38:45):
Hi guys, I actually delivered my sister's baby. Yeah, backseat
of her car, and at the time, I was also
thirty weeks pregnant.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Oh that's in did you go really early?
Speaker 3 (38:57):
Like, how does that happen?
Speaker 4 (38:59):
No?
Speaker 7 (39:00):
So I was thirty weeks pregnant, but my sister was
full chance, she was like thirty nine weeks and something.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Yeah, I just couldn't make it to the hospital.
Speaker 7 (39:09):
No, no, So she was her second birth, and she
with her first, she had an epidural quite early on.
So with this one, she was like, I want to
actually feel what labor's like, and she definitely did, and
she obviously just left it far too long. So we
were on the way to the hospital. We were probably
only five minutes away, to.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
Be honest, so close, and you pulled it out.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
So, Brian, what is the hardest part about helping someone
give birth?
Speaker 7 (39:38):
Well, for me, it was actually that she had a
full drive and she was in the backseat and I
couldn't maneuver myself in there because I had a giant
belly as well.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
And you, like, it wasn't a two seater convertible.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Thank you, Brian. Natalie, what is your wild birth story?
Speaker 6 (39:57):
My wild birth story is that the to set the
scene back in the August twenty twenty three Matilda's versus
France penalty shootout.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
I remember, well, what a game while so stressful.
Speaker 6 (40:09):
Yeah, so I was watching it at home, but yeah,
the stress of it put me into labor. I had
my baby by the next morning.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Do you call it Matilda?
Speaker 6 (40:18):
Well, my obstitution. Funny that I'm obstitution while I was
being operated on through my c sections, you know, I'm
setting scene pulling out all my organs and trying to
get to the baby. Was like, so we're calling this
baby Matilda and I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah, me just
wanting the baby out. And then my husband was like, oh,
we need to correct that. It's actually Jasmine. So I
(40:41):
didn't end up calling it Matilda.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
When you're in that position, you'll agree to anything, right,
exactly exactly someone's in your abdomen. Sure, yeah, so just
appear as safe. If anyone is close to the do date,
do not watch any Matilda games.
Speaker 5 (40:55):
That's right, Thank you so much for the call.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Is that just insane the number of people that are
just popping babies out in the back of their cars
or in the car.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Parks all of a sudden. I'm like, Poppy's birth was pretty.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
Boring and totally you should be lucky.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
No, I wish we would have been a bit more
spice on that
Speaker 1 (41:10):
Birth, either for you to say you're not doing it.
