Speaker 1 (00:00):
This episode was recorded on cameragle Land. Hey guys, and
welcome back to another episode of Life Uncut. I'm Brittany.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
My name happens to be Maddie J.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
And this is our radio show. This is where we
package up the best of the pickup. We put it
here in one tight little ball for you so you
don't have to go back and listen to it and
find it on the radio.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
I'm Prettany.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Actually, this week I forgot to tell you about something
that was quite big.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
It was significant this week.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
How did you forget to tell me?

Speaker 2 (00:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
I just feel like there's so much going on at
the moment, everything just becomes a bit of a jumbled mess.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
And it happened last night, okay. And it's now been
three years since Laura and myself have been married. We
had an anniversary.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
I actually knew this as well, and I also forgot
that I forgot.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
I think you.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Laughed at the fact that, like Laura told you it's
the anniversary and you were like, what are you going
to go, like to Sean's, which is a restaurant on
the road from us.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
We did.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
It's just it's kind of lame because there's literally like
whenever we have a birthdate or an anniversary, we go
to the same restaurant.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
But you know why, it's not just that you love it.
It's very convenient, it's very close to you, guys, it's.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Down the road.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
And what I love, Brittany is not a lot of
choice when it comes to meals. And at Sean's you
have to have an entree, main dessert and there's only
three options.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Y'sh very limited.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
I think I like more options some people.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
I have been there at the table and people have
walked in and the wait staff go, hey, just so
you know. The menu is just it's there on the wall.
They write it in each day depending on what food
they have available, and a lot of people are being
like not for me, they walk straight.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Out because people want more choice.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
But I just think, aren't you happy to be spoon
fed knowing that every option will be incredible?

Speaker 1 (01:51):
For what if you don't like it? What if it's
like some kind of butter sauce on a steak. I
hate butter. Right an example, you have.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
Two other options. I have never once been disappointed. It's
always something there that I'll have. Laura and I will share.
Last time I think it was like it was a birthdate,
but we will the same weight.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Staff are also there, like, oh my gosh, you guys
are back. What is it now? Oh anniversary?

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Okay, this is the wedding anniversary.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
This was the wedding anniversary.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Correct anniversaries do you celebrate? Because do you celebrate The Bachelor?

Speaker 2 (02:21):
It gets a bit confusing because it's like we have
when we filmed the finale of The Bachelor, then we
have when that finale went to air, which was a
little bit later.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
That's too much.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Then we have then the wedding day.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
There's just as a lagement, there's a lot of dates
flying around and do you know what we have to do?
We have to prioritize the dates. The wedding anniversary is
kind of like the main one that we want to celebrate.
The other ones are like an Instagram post and that's
about all the attention that we give it. But even
the wedding anniversary this year, it was a couple of
days before and I was like, oh shit, do you
want to book should we booked dinner?

Speaker 2 (02:57):
We did?

Speaker 1 (02:58):
You got to make the effort. It's a slippery slow
and all of a sudden you're not doing anything.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
It is slippery. It is a metal slide that is
covered in detergent. That's how slippery it is.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Brittany, Yeah, straight into it. Mediocracy, that's where you slide.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
We were like, oh, we've got Poppy. Do we want
to bring Poppy to the restaurant. It's a really small restaurant, but.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
We did lunch.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Well, we ended up bringing her. She's pretty good at nighttime.
She has like we had a six o'clock booking, has
to be the early dinner booking, and so we're out
of there by eight thirty.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
So you know what this means? What this is your
three anniversary. This means three years ago. I didn't know
that my life was about to change. This was the
last week that I was single.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
You had casual sex.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
With your We banged next week, congratulations.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
How will you celebrate not by banging? No?

Speaker 1 (03:49):
No, well that's I mean, you know what I'll tell
you next week.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
I'll tell you how we celebrate a little like maybe
a nice FaceTime, Yeah, a little FaceTime something.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah, that's where I was going.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
Hi this week. Something I find really interesting. But it's
very polarizing cloning your pet. Like some people are all
for cloning, and some people think it's weird and weird
seeing you shouldn't mess with it gives me the ick.
But if I cloned my dog brought it to you, Matt,
you wouldn't even know she was cloned because she's a clone.
If I just didn't tell you she passed.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Away, I would be able to tell.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
If we have the budget, Producer Grace, can we bring
in a range of pets and I have to try
and suss out the ones that are real and the
ones that are cloned.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
We do not have the budget. We don't know that
many just an idea.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
If anyone is listening they have a clone pet, please
let us know. I want to talk about Marley's dance recital.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
So cute.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
It's been something we've been working towards for a long
long time. Half the year almost, but it's finally happened.
It took place at an RSL down the road in
front of five hundred screaming parents. I tell you how
it went.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Oh huge, Let's get into it, Matt. I know you
have been keeping a very close eye on Taylor Swift
and her bridal party.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Can I just admit for a second that I had
been a Taylor Swift hater for a number of years
and only recently the last twelve months, I am converted.
It was my daughter Marley May. She's obsessed and every
daycare drop off and pick up we would listen to
her songs and I was like, do you know what,

(05:26):
She's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
She's very cool geez.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
And I want to apologize to Taylor for not endorsing
her music to the level that I am now.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
So when you say you're now a fan, is that
because you're actually enjoying her her music or you a
fan of her and like what she's created in her
business savviness.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
We even have a little kid's book which is the
life of Taylor Swift how she started. And I think
it's amazing what she's done. I think her live concerts
are phenomenal. Everything about her is just epic. And also
like her relationship now with a footballer, I'm always.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Do you know who's Kelsey? Yeah? Yeah, comfot blood? Come on?

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Well, she stopped the press and broke the internet a
couple of months ago when she got engaged, but now
everyone is speculating that she has just chosen her bridesmaids.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Now.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
The reason that they're speculating.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, what do we got? How do they know this? Well?

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Taylor is I don't know how much you know, but
she's known for easter egging, Like she drops all these
hints in all her music, in all her pr and
everything that she does. So now everyone's reads so much
into her life that she can't fart without people thinking
it's any Does it mean exactly? So?

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Do we know? Do we know Grace? Produce a Grace? Sorry?

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Can I pick on the spot? Do we know her
wedding date? Has that been set?

Speaker 1 (06:36):
No, we don't know any of those details yet, but
we do know a maybe venue?

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Do we Yeah? Did you not know that? Wow?

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Get up to speak, Grace. They actually asked somebody apparently
allegedly rumor somebody was already booked at the place, the
venue on the date that they wanted, and they tried
to get them to swap it. I'm sorry. If taylor'swirst
wants my venue, she can have it.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
I mean you'd be like, sure, give us an invite,
or you can have my date and.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
A million and invite sure.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
With a million bucks. So this is where the eastrikes
have come from. All she's done is every weekend. For
the last three weekends, she has gone to dinner with
a friend. But the friends are all people that are
pretty close to her and could be so people are
thinking that she's taking them to dinner and asking them
to be her bridesmaids.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Okay, well, I think that Sabrina Carpenter will definitely be
one of their bride's maids.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
I don't know because she's too new. I think Taylor
will go for like those real long term friendships. Sabrina
only came in a couple of you in the last
like two.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Years, supported her on her too. They're they're tight, No,
and they just had dinner together. Sorry, I'm getting very
worked upe Grace, what.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Do you think? No, I think she's too new. She's
too new. Then there was Gigi who did so she's
one of the he did sisters, Bella and Gigi. They're supermodels,
very tired.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
She's in Bad Blood.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
In twenty fourteen, yes, yeah so then so twenty fourteen,
that's more of a long term friendship, So I think
that she'll make the Then the next weekend she was
seeing with one of her close friends, Ashley Avignon. So
she's not famous, which is why I think that it
will be her as well. So she's just a normal person.
I think she's an interior designer or an architect and
just someone that she's been friends with for a long time.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Who do you reckon is going to be the maid
of honor?

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Do you know what? I think Selena Gomez will be
in there, but I don't know if Matt does not care,
I'm really getting no.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Okay, So at Selena's wedding recently to Benny Blanco, Taylor
was an integral part of it, but I don't think
she was in the bridal party. So she did a speech,
she got ready with her she was really in it,
but I don't think she was a bridal party. So
I'm wondering if that will be reciprocated and Selena will
be there and seeing and.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Perform, and I think she'll be in charge of the
WhatsApp chat being like, hey guys, transfer me the three
hundred bucks for the gift.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
I think Selena as a billionaire and Taylor as a
billionaire will be paying for it.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
How does that work? Like, does Taylor just pay.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
For it all?

Speaker 1 (08:55):
For everything?

Speaker 2 (08:56):
You think?

Speaker 3 (08:56):
So a hundred She's like, hey, we opted for the
bottom of brunch that was one hundred and fifty each.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
No, I think she's worth like two billion dollars. I
think she's covering the feather cheese cabana.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
I reckon she's fair.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
But I think that Taylor might be one of the
only celebrities that is somehow going to pull off a
wedding that no paparazzi get into that is not leaked.
I think if anyone can do it, it's Taylor Swift.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Impossible because it even got leaked.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Selena's even got leaked. Absolutely possible because remember how sometimes
she used to leave in a suitcase. Do you know
her story about the suitcases? She traveled around in suitcases
so no one would so no one would know when
she was like leaving hotels and stuff.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
She's like six foot tall. How did you do that?

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Her security would come out in a suit with a
suitcase and no one had ever see Taylor, and everyone
is convinced that Taylor was being transported around in a suitcase.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Wow, what a life she lives in a suitcase. Yeah,
brittany one of my children, they now have a taste
for the main stage or thanks to this song, Oh.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
What a banger. What do you mean by this? Today?
The next like DJ Fisher or what's that? No?

Speaker 2 (10:07):
I wish Marley produced this song.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
This was the song that she did her dance recital to,
which was just last week.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Her very first dance recidal.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Did you ever do dance growing up?

Speaker 1 (10:18):
But yeah, I was great?

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Would you do? What was your?

Speaker 1 (10:21):
I did it all? I did tap and ballet and jazz.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
That's why you were so good on Dancing with the Stars.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Oh, thank you? But only did it when I was
like five. Come on, but do you know what I
love the most? What's that jazz?

Speaker 2 (10:33):
I start rush into this one.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
I couldn't move my feet quick enough for tap.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Well, I never did dance.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
The dance world is very new to me, and it
was only because Marley has just been obsessed with doing
little concerts at home and she always wants to do
this dance.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
She's actually like, really really good.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
I know you're her dad.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
I know I'm one of.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
Those parents who's going to be biased towards their own child,
But she actually has really good rhythm, which is weird
for me to say, as someone who has no rhythm
at all.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
I don't know where she gets it from. Not me, definitely.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
We did see you on Dancing with the Start.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
It wasn't great, was it.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
It wasn't the worst.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
Laura was actually Laura's the better dancer. Laura was good
in the family. But Marley was like, I really want
to do it, dad, So I signed her up. I
didn't really know what I was getting her into. I
actually just thought it was like a Thursday afternoon class.
What is it. Well, they've been working towards all year,
this big dance recital, and it's a big deal.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
It's a full production.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Dude.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
We were at like a proper theater, were you Yeah?
And I was thinking to myself, come on, the kids five,
she doesn't need this. We could just be in like
the school.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
Hall, right. And also it was really really stressful. Myself
and another dad, we were the only two dads who
were like managing this. But some days on a Thursday,
you've got to bring the uniform that they're going to
do the performance. In other days bring their they're like,
and it was changing every week. We had to be
on our toes constantly because if you got it wrong,

(12:02):
we got reprimanded by the teacher. Like it was.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
It's very serious.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
Mass it's very very like.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
Obviously, Laura's just given birth to a child, so she
was completely checked out of the admin of the dance.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
So I was in charge and then as well.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
I guess leading up to the big concert, which was
on the weekend, I got really nervous.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
I was thinking, oh my god, my little girl.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
It's because you don't want it when so many people
and there's a stage as a production, you don't want
them to mess up or feel embarrassed for whatever reason,
like you just want them to nail it.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
Yeah, And I thought that we were going to go
to this concert and I would watch Marley on stage
and then I would leave. But then I realized that
I had to sit through twenty two different performances.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
Well, I mean, that song sounds quite erratic. What was
the dance like? It sounds like Brazilian.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
It was really really good, And I can't tell you
how amazing Maley was. But before I tell you about
her performance at the MC, I yelled out, it's from
the audience, because he said, he goes, welcome to this theater.
It's going to be amazing, and he goes, I just
want to give a big shout out to all the
mums out there who got up early this morning to

(13:13):
do a slick high ponytail.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
And I said, what about the dance?

Speaker 1 (13:19):
That's fair, right?

Speaker 3 (13:21):
I mean I got up very early and I think
I did a very good job.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Did you have to do this slick typhony?

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah? Marley was like, you're starting to draw blood brushing
my hair so much, and I.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Was like, quiet, use half a ten of her spread.
But she looked amazing. I want to say sorry to
the MC for yelling out at him.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
Did they still wear red lipstick as kids?

Speaker 3 (13:40):
I said yes to lipstick and I said no to mascara.
My line was why was the life?

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Why was that the lie?

Speaker 3 (13:46):
I just don't think The teacher was like, it's good
for stage. You know, the bitter mescaa is going to
make the eyes pop with the lights, and I was like, yeah,
but she's five. I don't think any parent is going
to be going that was good routine. Eyes weren't popping,
there were they?

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Well? Grace and I grew up in the dam swelled
and we were a lot of makeup from a young
Ageish fish nets, buns?

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Is the masca? Should I be allowing it?

Speaker 1 (14:07):
I think it's fine for stage. But I'm a dancer,
so she dances.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
But I was I was in tears. I was so
proud she absolutely nailed every single step and then meeting
her afterwards annoyingly, I didn't know we'd do this. I
don't know if you guys as dances growing up, did
you ever get given flowers by your parents after a performance?

Speaker 1 (14:32):
I don't think I even got on dance.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Well, all these parents were there.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Because you're a dancer. You get it, you get it,
get it.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
But she said, this was the best day of my life.
Oh that's so, I'm now officially a dance dad.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
I love that. But I want to see a video.
Do we have anything?

Speaker 3 (14:55):
Well, I'll have to buy You cannot film anything because
of reasons for the kids. But the DVD is going
to be available ninety nine point nine ninety five. I'm like,
oh my god, so expensive.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
He didn't buy it.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
I didn't buy it. But just to reminisce once again,
to bring us out, put your hands together for the conger. Ye, Brittany,
this is breaking.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
News, okay, right now, this is so important for not
only ask but all the parents that are listening right now.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
Six seven.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
It's a term a word that we announced just last week.
It was word of the Year announced by dictionary dot com.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
And also for those of you.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
Who are wondering, it means that it's so so so
so do you know what?

Speaker 1 (15:43):
We actually didn't know what it means? We actually have
Neve here, need's a fifteen year old work experience girl. Nev,
what does six seven mean?

Speaker 4 (15:51):
Well?

Speaker 1 (15:51):
I actually don't know.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
Wait, be honest, do you actually know what you've been
told not to tell us?

Speaker 1 (15:58):
Fifteen year old?

Speaker 2 (15:59):
Yeah? Is there a rule that you can't tell adults
what it means?

Speaker 4 (16:02):
No?

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Okay, well I don't believe her.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
So then do you do you use it? Do you
use six seven? What everyone says and everyone laughs, But
I don't think anyone knows what it actually means? So
can you use I don't believe it?

Speaker 2 (16:14):
I reckon, she's hiding it from us? Tell us?

Speaker 1 (16:17):
But this is even weirder, right if the people using it.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
Don't know they know brit They just say this. I
don't think they interrogate someone. Of course they're going to
say I don't have the information. Press harder, keep.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Going, Britt.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
Okay, so how would you use it? What's an example?
If I came up to you and I was like,
your Neve, what up would you be like? Six seven?

Speaker 2 (16:36):
Neva's rolling rides right now?

Speaker 1 (16:38):
No, you like, pretend like you start counting to six
and then when you say seven, everyone like laughs.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Okay, Okay, I get it, and now I get it.
I get it, Neve, I understand. I'm picking up what
you're putting down. Okay, thank you, thank you so much
for jumping on the mic.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
Or should we say, Neve six seven?

Speaker 2 (16:59):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (16:59):
So where are you? We've established that no one knows
what it actually means.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
So no one knows what it means, or do they?
But apparently, okay, there is a study that it's been
done and they've found that Jen Alpha, they are fed
up with older generations hijacking their slaying in a desperate
bid to sound cool. That's why Need's not telling us
an information, because she's like, oh god, these guys.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
Are pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
Because then she'll take it back to school. I know
that she'll get canceled for bringing the oldies in.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
They were like, Neve, before you go, just remember, don't
tell them anything, especially not about six seven. But apparently, apparently,
one Canadian study led by a fourteen year old I
mean sounds Trustworthy has found that teens understood ninety five
percent of their slang. Oh thank god, well advance. AI
grasped to barely understand half of that.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
Sorry, I don't get it, and maybe this is what
makes me uncool. But if you don't understand what you're saying,
don't say it. Only ninety five percent of this fourteen
year old study can say that they actually even know
what they're talking about.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
It reminds me when I was younger. I actually, I
don't want to sound arrogant here, but I started a
word which had a different meaning.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
When I was about sixteen, when something was really good,
it was cheddar.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Like cheddar cheese. You're embarrassing me.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
I was like, you know, if someone had a great
night out, I was like, man, last night was so cheddar.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
That didn't take off to it.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
It did. Everyone was using it, and because of me,
I started it. It was my word.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
It's so embarrassed.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
It was chedd because how good is cheddar? Cheese? Right?

Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah, but why don't you just say cheese?

Speaker 2 (18:34):
It was cheese? Cheddar sounds I would.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
Have said, like it was HALLOOMI because hallem is the
elite cheese for sure? Or fetter? Okay, okay, we're getting
off cars, so okay, what we're saying is now the
Dictionary made it word of the year a week ago,
and now it's already been canned.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
Yeah, So just a word of warning to any parents
out there, if you feel inclined to use six seven
in a sentence, stop, just don't, because it's no longer
a good word.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
I am crazy dog obsessed, you know that, Like my
dog Delilah is my entire world.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
How many dogs have you had in your lifetime?

Speaker 1 (19:07):
I've never not had a dog. So our families have
dogs since we were born.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
Can you run me through, very very quickly, just the
history of dogs for Brittany.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
What did it start with?

Speaker 1 (19:17):
We had Diesel? Yeah, Diesel. Diesel was a wine Marana?
What wine, Marana? Yeah? They're great dogs.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
A wine Marana.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
Yeah yeah, I just said yes because I can't be
I'm like, yeah, the show is it? Why Marana? They're
quite a big dog, very lean, very shiny coat, beautiful,
beautiful nature. So yeah, we had Diesel. Then we had Gizmo.
Gizmo was a little shit who named Gizmo? I think
it was me. Gizmo was around for a while, and

(19:48):
then we had Honey. Honey was around for a while.
Then we had Daisy and Ivy. They were little, they
were little dogs. Daisy and Ivy are Schnauzers and like
Bitz is from rescue dogs. Then we had and Nala
is a bit suck good.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
I thought I had a lot of dogs.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
No that I had mea Border Collie.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
It keeps going, Yeah, ex more, this is either Noah's
Ark of dogs.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
When I say I had dogs, I was, yeah, you've
got a problem. Yeah. I used to read dog books
as a hobby when I was a kid. Like I
had a dog book and it had every breed of dog,
and it had like how big they grow?

Speaker 2 (20:22):
Pokemon for you, Like I got to catch the more.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
Yeah, which is why I find this topic so interesting.
I want to get your take on it. There's this
rise in celebrities, Tom Brady being the most recent. He's
the big NFL player in America that are cloning their dogs.
So cloning is one of those things that I didn't
know people were actually doing it. You know, you just
hear about it.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
What was Dolly the Sheep?

Speaker 1 (20:44):
Dolly the Sheep nineteen ninety six.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Dolly was that was nineteen ninety six.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
Yeah, I think she survived for about five minutes or
how did that?

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Wasn't good for Dolly?

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Dolly the sheep lived for six and a half years.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
Six and a half good years, and we're not sure.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
Typical sheep lives through about ten to twelve years.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
That's not bad. That's not bad. And I'm assuming that
come of long way.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
It's like TV's back in the nineties were pretty bad,
and now I'm assuming cloning is pretty good.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Well, yeah, apparently so. I didn't know so many people,
like so many celebrities already had cloned dogs. So Tom
Brady's dog, Juny is a clone of his past family
dog that died in twenty twenty three. Paris Hilton she
cloned her dog in twenty twenty three Barber streisand has
cloned her dog twice, so she really doesn't want to
let that go. That dog has lived like many lifetimes.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
I just find it really weird.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
I think the beautiful thing about owning a pet is
you know you have the personality.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
It changes, it varies. To me. It feels a bit
strange to try and replicate it. Exactly.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
It would be strange if buster left and you're like,
it's fine, I'll bring it back.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Yeah, I'll bring it back.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
I'm sort of I sort of like it because the
interesting thing is it's not just the way they look it.
Actually a lot of their personality traits come through as well.
I just think because my dog Delilah is almost perfect,
I just put in more training. So if I could
bring her back, but i'd just train her differently because
she definitely skips some classes.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
Can I clone her but also just slightly improve her
just a little bit?

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Yeah, but it's fifty thousand dollars, apparently, I think.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
Look, I think morally it is wrong.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
Why I don't agree, Well, apparently fifty nine percent of
people also.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
Agree with them.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
Why is it morally wrong? Why is it different like
IVF or something making a baby in a little saucepan.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
No, I think not a saucepan.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
And Pittridish Well said, I just think when it comes
to pets, I just think we should enjoy what limited
time we have with those pets, and when they're gone,
we can save her.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Well, no, I want mine to live forever.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
Okay, do you think we should clone humans? There you go, Bob,
that's a real question.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Oh that's a hard question. Probably not because that would
have too much of an impact on the economy. Really,
like you can't just have you can't just speak triply. Well,
that means no one ever dies, because when they die,
they just replaced. The people are still being born.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
Forgetting deep. Wait, sorry you asked the questions for getting deep?

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Would you clone humans?

Speaker 2 (23:05):
No?

Speaker 3 (23:05):
Absolutely not cloning. I think ban it, ban it along
with AI. Let's go back to the nineties, Dolly.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
It's Thursday, so it is ask guncut day, where you
guys writing or you call up with the biggest problems
that you've got and we're going to do our best
to solve that.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
I love helping the good people of this country.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
Yeah, not all here is we're capes, but Matt does.
But today we've got Kelly on the line that's having
a bit of a family issue.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
Hey Kelly, Hi, guys, how are you going? Can I
say Merry Christmas?

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yere? Yeah? Why not?

Speaker 3 (23:37):
We're in the festive spirit and so were you apparently Kelly,
but you have an issue?

Speaker 1 (23:42):
What's going on?

Speaker 4 (23:42):
Yes? So this year is the very first year that
my boyfriend and I are going to be together on
Christmas Day.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
Congratulations.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
Yeah, so we're really excited. I'm a big Christmas nerd,
so looking forward to it. But the only thing is
is that both of our families really really want us
at Christmas Christmas Day, and we just can't decide who
to go with. That's it, basically, I'm just after your advice.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
That's a tricky one. What have you done in the past.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
It's a common problem, I would say, because everyone experiences, right,
two people come together, they have two families that I'm
assuming don't always live together. I mean, for me, it's tricky.
My husband lives on the other side of the world,
so we always just have to pick one country. I
think it depends for you, Kelly. What's the location of
both families.

Speaker 4 (24:31):
So we're based in Melbourne. His family are up in
Ballina and New South Wales, the kind of nearby Own Bay.
And then I'm a KeyWe and I'm from Hamilton. So
Trevestic's great.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
Is it you supercars?

Speaker 4 (24:52):
Yeah, that's true, but they do say Hamilton's like puberty.
You all have to go through it at some point.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
Look, you're hard because you're you're in a the country. Actually,
I think this is easy. You're gonna have to just
say that you're going to take it. Turns you by
year and alternate, and maybe you have to flip a
coin for the first year, like who starts, or maybe
it comes down to finance. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Has he been to Hamilton before your partner?

Speaker 4 (25:16):
So, yes, he has. And we last saw my parents.
They came over here in September, so we have actually
seen them quite recently, whereas his parents, we actually went
up and saw them, but we still haven't seen them
since May.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
So maybe it's time to start with his family and
then do yours next year. Are you thinking this is
a long term relationship?

Speaker 4 (25:39):
Oh yeah, I agree.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
Okay, well, look my decision is based on the fact
that I've been to Hamilton before, and I mean, Kelly,
no disrespect at all. It was just a little how
do I say shit in the most polite way possible.
So I think if you're comparing the two, I think

(26:02):
you've got to go balance.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
It's Byron Bay.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
You don't pick this kind of stuff based on the town.
It's family and it's love and it's the attention to
those that you care about.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
I just think sometimes you've got to be selfish and
that's okay. Around Christmas time, you want to do what's
going to make you and your partner happy. And I
just think Byron bay Baby, imagine that being on the beach,
I mean one of the best beaches in the world.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
Do you care about missing out on your family?

Speaker 2 (26:28):
Like?

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Is it okay? Are you happy to go to Byron?
Oh my gosh, yeah the measure answer there we go.

Speaker 4 (26:35):
I mean, look, I'll be sad to obviously let my
mum down, but I think it is. Look, I guess
that's the only way to do it right, Like they
both want us both Christmas mums. But it's just going
to have to fall. Maybe flip the coin.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
And let's not forget that next year it's going to flip.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
It has to flip.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
You can't have a magical festival time in Hamilton, can
I say? I just want to if anyone is from
New Zealand and in particular Hamilton, I want to say
sorry for my comments on this segment.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
You've been really harsh on Hamilton.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
I have I have fair but I apologize.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
At least it has a year to redeem itself. Now
it'll be a lot better.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
Thanks for calling Kelly, have a good crissy.

Speaker 4 (27:17):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
Hey, Matt, she took that well, well you're pretty ABUSI yeah, yeah,
it's Honestly, when I went to Hamilton, I went to
get some money out from the ATM and people were like,
don't do that.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
Well it's not like Venezuela.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
Well it's worse.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
And it is fry Yea. It is the end of
the week and we want to send you off into
the weekend armed with some fun facts that you can
take to the pub, to the party, to the family barbecue. Matt,
you always need some. You're always popping next door.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
Do you know who loves these fun facts? I go
home and I tell them to my mum and she
loves that and not get enough of them. She is
like the fun Fact Queen. We should call her up
one time for this segment.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
Sometimes I think that I let the the bar drop
a little bit and they're not that fun. But these
are pretty fun, you know what.

Speaker 3 (28:03):
I Honestly, I've never not had the time of my
life for f Fact Friday. You guys are doing an
exceptional job.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Okay, I'm going to start with do you know that
the Spye Girls weren't always called the Spice girls. What
were they called before they became the Spice Girls?

Speaker 2 (28:20):
I have absolutely annoyed it. Can you give me some
type of clue?

Speaker 1 (28:23):
Can I help? It's something that you can do to
somebody else. Is something when you pick up an object?

Speaker 2 (28:29):
You are the borrowers.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
That's a good guess. I think my hint was worse. Touch.
They were called Touch, which doesn't have the same like zing,
does it?

Speaker 2 (28:39):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (28:40):
Like touch Spice Girls is just maybe because we just
know them as the Spice Girls, but Touch.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Is a bit Yeah. They actually said when we first
started as Touch, we were really bland. They added some spot.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
May I could be wrong here, and producer Grace please
jump in if I'm spitting lies to the listeners here
of the show. But apparently the names the baby Spies,
scary spice that was given to them by.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
I told you that.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
So I'm regurtulating the facts back to the fact teller.
I'm so sorry.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
Well, no, here's a fun fact on. That fun fact
on is that next week on the show, we have
a spice girl. And that's why I was telling it.
We haven't Melcy.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
Right, Sorry, guys, good for a second.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
Hey, here's a really good one. This is the funnest
fact I've ever had. Did you know that woodpeckers the
bird its tongue actually wraps around their brain to cushion
the brain from concussion because they pecked so hard.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
I did? I knew that?

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Did you know that?

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Told me that?

Speaker 1 (29:38):
Okay, okay, we'll move on.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
But but fun fact nonetheless.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
Okay, here's this. If you've ever been convicted of theft,
you might be able to use this one in court.
Koalas have fingerprints that are nearly indistinguishable from humans. They
are almost the same, so you might get away with
saying it was a koala.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
Imagine if you had like a thieving koala in your neighborhood,
or one that was you know, heaven forbid, like grievous,
bodily harm.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
I had a choala break into my house one day.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
Well exactly, and they're like, we'll never know who is
in the cholas and the three being.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
Like down there for suspect.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
Okay, here's one the Guinness Book of World Records. Why
was that created?

Speaker 2 (30:25):
I used to I was obsessed.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
I still remember, like the two thousand and six Guinness
Book of Records.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Got it for Christmas? Love that gift.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
You know where it came from?

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Was it island?

Speaker 1 (30:36):
Sorry, not literally where, but how it came to be?

Speaker 2 (30:39):
Was it like a traveling show?

Speaker 4 (30:41):
Maybe?

Speaker 1 (30:42):
No, that's a cool guest though. So it it started
because there were so many bar arguments over like well
actually started with birds. Which bird is faster in Europe?
Like which bird can travel the fastest? And so people
used to get into big arguments in bars. So to
settle it they started doing like, let's race the bird.
Let's then they wrote the record down and then the
person that came up with it was the head of

(31:04):
the Guinness Brewing Company. Wow, isn't that amazing?

Speaker 3 (31:08):
I had no idea. I know how much does it cost?
We can we find out how much it costs to
have a record watched over by Guinness to make it official.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
What does that cost? I don't know your record.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
I would love to break what the fastest one hundred
meters across the lego?

Speaker 1 (31:24):
No, a woman just did that.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Yeah, it was really slow.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
I would pay you if you can break that.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
I will.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
I will give you how much fifty bucks?

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Grace?

Speaker 3 (31:31):
How much does it cost to get a Guinness World
Record officiated?

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Ah, it's free to submit a standard application. What so,
there you go, if you can break the lego fifty bones.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
To Yeah, fifty bones is like, come on, come on,
I've seen how much you earn. You have. Fifty is
like did you give a little ten cents for the
normal people?

Speaker 1 (31:51):
All right, Well, if Grace can add ten dollars, will
make it sixty bucks.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
I don't get out of bed for less than one hundred.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
Guys, Matt, you should be breaking records for the record.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
World record or not. Can you give me one quick
one to end on? Okay, one more?

Speaker 1 (32:06):
Yep? Do you know what the divider at the grocery
store is called?

Speaker 2 (32:09):
You know that separates like the food the chuck. I
don't know what's called a stracture? What that is? A lot?
You're honestly a scratchet.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Scratchet. Yeah, so next time you can say, could you
pass me a scratchet?

Speaker 2 (32:22):
Who's doing what?

Speaker 1 (32:22):
Now?

Speaker 2 (32:23):
Thank you? Thank you? That was ended on a high.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
