Speaker 1 (00:00):
This episode was recorded on cameragle Land. Hi guys, and
welcome back to another episode of Life on Cut. I'm Brittany.
My name is Laura, and that is manager. Laura would
be so offended by that.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It does sound a bit like Laura and anything.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Absolutely not. This is our pick up podcast. This is
our radio show.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
We do it all week and then we package it
up for you. In one little spot, I can.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Ask you a question about Ben Brittany, my.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Beautiful, beautiful, big manly Swiss husband.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yeah, that's the one. Do you guys, do you fart
in front of each other?
Speaker 4 (00:34):
No?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
We yeah, we don't.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Why not? It told me through that, you know, I reckon.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
It's like a In my family growing up, it was
like the height of rudeness, like that is as kids.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
That's what we were taught my mom and dad.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Mom and dad have never we wouldn't even fart was
like a swear word in my family. So we had
to use whiz pop or pop off because fart was.
You couldn't say the word no because fart was My
mum had said it was too crude.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
So that and that was because that's how my mom was.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
You guys are from Port stevens Port McQuary.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
But what does that mean?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Well, just you know, not to have a digger people,
but you're like regional Australia.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Mom and dad grew up in Sydney, then we moved
to the to portmcrey.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Is gonna say to the country.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
There we go Sydney. Sydney people don't allow farts in.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
The filmily, so I'm not a farer and I don't.
Ben has never fared in front of me.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Not once accidental.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
No, but I have done with pops in front of
him before, but only.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
When like little rogue ones.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah, only like not even intentionally, like accidentally.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I would be mortified. I just I don't like it.
And I also don't want to sit there and have
my partner just letting them.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Rip because I'm just not attracted to it. And I
know that the Armond minority.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
What happens if, like you're in bed, you lay down,
you relax. As you relax, as you're about to drift
off to sleep, the body, as it relaxes, wants to
let out a little toot.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
What do you do if you're still conscious? You need
to get up and leave the room. I'm getting such god,
But once you asleep, it's free rain, like you can
do whatever.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Here you think down the line, at some point it
will happen that you'll crossover in the fart territory.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Never if it's an occasional thing and it's like you're
you're feeling unwell.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Who I'm just not a I'm not when you're pregnant,
you'll become so gassy.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, I think that's different.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
But like in my general day today, it's something that
we set. But Ben also doesn't want to fight in
front of me. He doesn't want me to find around here.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I've been fighting all day in this chair.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
We all know, Matt. It's an enclosed room. We can
smell it.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Oops, sorry about that, don't know You're not sorry. No,
I don't care. I don't care. We've got it in here.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
But why were you so interested in might have been fighting.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I don't find it really interesting that some couples don't
do that. And I'm like, but you're going to have sex,
like you're going to be in each other because.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Sex is intimate and sex and there is nothing sexy
about lifting a leg and like that's just not she cares.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Life's too short to leave the room produce the grace. No.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
You can tell by the look on her face she's
a fat She's.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
No.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
I just think there's a certain level of comfort around
your partner.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
But it's not that I'm not comfortable. It's that I
want to stay turned on by him and attracted by him.
I don't want to smell his protein farts that his
had al day.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
My wife and I have actually, recently since we've gotten married,
introduced what we call the romance door, which is when
we close the door when we're doing a number two.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Wow, it's really elevating that And they say romance is
like that.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I like that a lot.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
So you say, hey, I'm closing the romans door so
everyone knows you're doing a shit.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Ye.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Laura's crept into that that kind of territory where she
need to brush her teeth and I'm like, I'm doing
a number two and she's like, I don't care, and I'm.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Like, no, I see too far. That is too far
taking a poo.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
We're there now. I think we tried to get out,
but we're like in the deep abyss of just married life.
That's what we do now.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Married life doesn't have to mean that married life. Marriage
life is foot, you create, you're happy.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
How many times do you have sex? I know the truth,
Laura told me, I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
It will be sad for our little, our little showmance
to come to an end. Mat.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
It will be very disappointing. I'll be very upset. There'll
be a level of mourning once it ends.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah, I'll miss my macarions.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Your macarons. But this was a great week, great week.
My highlight was actually inviting my podcast husband onto the
show Ash. We had the ask and cut question. He's
got a dilemma about secret Sanders, which.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Wasn't so much of a dilemma, really was it?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
What would you call it?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I just think he's been lazy. I think he knew
the answer. He was he knew you'd try and side
with him best.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Also, because it's the way he was brought up. He's
been conditioned to be like this brute.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
That was pretty intense. He just said he grew up
never even having any christ You said nothing, No, I did.
I just didn't have time to unpack his trauma.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
But it's too quick. We were like, sorry, it's radio,
gotta be quick.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
Bye.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
We didn't explain to I.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
You know, I stumbled across a couple of articles this
week that I think are really good for people that
might be going through something in the future like divorces
or or no you no bad for you, but breakups.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
But it's people that are starting to celebrate the darker times.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
One thing we didn't talk about, Matt.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
There was one thing story going around a little while
ago about a lady that unfortunately knew she was dying,
like she had an illness that was going to kill her,
and she threw her funeral while she was alive.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Because she's like, why should I miss out on the party?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
And so I thought that was really cool, Like she
just had a party that was almost like a farewell party,
but she wanted to be there.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
That I love that if I had the opportunity to
say goodbye to people, I will do that.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
I thought, you're gonna tell me about what you wanted
when you were when you were dead. Then remember how
I said I wanted if I die to be cremated
and put into fireworks and put into the sky.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
How can I forget so many good conversations, Brittany, These
are your type of conversations. I will miss. I knew
it at the end of the year.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Well, let's get into the show. Maddy Jay.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
You have been well and truly sucked into the Big
Brother of all tex You haven't you.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I'm in my defense. You know who's really hooked in
my household?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Your mom, My mom. I knew you'd say that. Ellie
loves reality TV.
Speaker 7 (06:31):
My mom.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yesterday morning was I turn it on. It's Big Brother,
the evictions about to happen.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
It was eviction day.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
I was driving five hours on the highway.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I didn't get to watch it, but I know you
did and you have some thoughts.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I know it was a big episode and we actually
have the evictor on the line. She's being billed as
one of the best looking housemates we've ever had in
the history of Big Brother. She was involved in so
much drama, there was a love, there was arguments. It
is holy welcome.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
You going to get anything coming out of one of
these shows.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
It's like the best looking.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
Oh guys, at this point, I'm just happy to be here.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
How are you feeling what to be in twelve to thirteen? No, God,
I can't do the math. It's been less than a
day and more.
Speaker 7 (07:15):
I don't ask me to do the math either. Wow,
what an amazing experience to be a part of. It's
just intense, really, like from start to finish. However, I'm
so grateful for the experience.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
And you know what, I didn't anticipate, Holly, such a
beautiful love story. I've got to ask the letter it
was a covert operation. Did you write the letter in
the toilet? Is that what happened to Colin?
Speaker 7 (07:41):
I can't give away my tricks, but it did. I
did sacrifice a lip liner in the processor.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
That is Love's as you know.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
As you know that there's no pens allowed in the
Big Brother House or paper. However, Colin and I did
say of a couple of the questions that were sent
in by the viewers at home that were in relation
to us, and we sort of had that kept in
the bedside table.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
What did the letter say? Tell me?
Speaker 7 (08:12):
I'm like chomping to know, guys, it's personal.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Did you drop the album in the letter? Potentially she did, Holly,
I honestly, hand on heart. I love the love story
between you and Colin. There was one video and I
don't know if you've seen it. It was posted online
and I had to defend you on Colin because the
video is it's you guys sitting outside, You're side by side.
(08:38):
It looks like you look at the camera and then
pull Colin in close for a cuddle whilst making eye
contact with the camera. Do you remember that scene? Have
you seen the footage?
Speaker 7 (08:50):
I haven't seen the footage, but I can say the
thing is, like, do you do forget that there's cameras everywhere?
So like I probably was like zoning out, not even
realizing that the camera was there, because literally there's cameras everywhere. Like,
I probably just wanted a hug.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Are you guys going to seeing each other when Colin
leaves the house?
Speaker 7 (09:10):
Yeah, we have a little plan and we're intending on
sticking to it. We met under guys, we need to
have some level of privacy.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Brother, That's what i'd say.
Speaker 7 (09:24):
We've just been on nice little TV for the last
three weeks. You guys will see it all, Like, stay tuned,
get excited. It's all good. We're both really excited. We've
got our first date night lined up. We're going to
go to Luna Park in Sydney. We're very lucky that
we both live in the same state.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Is he your favorite to win the show?
Speaker 7 (09:45):
Of course I might be biased, I might not be biased,
but I think Connor is also definitely a very intelligent
individual and he really he's a walking encyclopedia. So I
feel like, you know, Colin has a lot of support.
They all do. And it's going to get very intent
now because I feel like there's no distractions.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
If you could have changed anything at all on the
show with your time there, what would it have been?
Speaker 7 (10:13):
Not a lot. I feel like I learned so much,
even though I may have, you know, put my hand
in the fire unintentionally a few times. That resulted in
a huge amount of personal growth and you can't put
a price on that. So the fact that you know,
I didn't win, that's totally fine because the lessons that
I've learned and you know, being able to co share,
(10:34):
to co live, I have not done that in a
very long time. It's such big personalities from all different
walks of life to be able to recognize that, you
know what that actually you know, maybe take that into
consideration next time.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Hy And well, look, we can't wait to see what
happens after the show where Colin sits, does the relationship
Blossom does a fizzle.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
We're all here for it. But well done for surviving
the Big Brother House, Holly.
Speaker 7 (10:58):
Thank you. It was a very big past that I
was probably underqualified for, but we gave it a crack.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
You did well, so good life for the future. I'm
sure we're going to see you around.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
Thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I had the TikTok Awards, Brittany. And for those of
you who may not know that there were even a
TikTok Awards on it was in its fifth year and
it is a celebration of the best creators on TikTok
across fourteen categories. It's like the Logis but for TikTok.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
But you weren't there as a creator of us spectator.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
You had a very important job.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Well, I was there with Stan and maybe like a
week leading up to the event, I got a call
from TikTok and I answered the call and I said, look,
we would like you to be involved in the actual
awards show. I was doing some stuff outside.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Is TikTok calling you, like big Brother? Like, who's the
person that calls His name's John? Okay, he's a real person.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Yeah, he's lovely, really nice, very friendly and he called
me and he said, we'd like you to be involved
in the awards. And I was like, oh my god,
maybe I'm going to present like an award. Maybe, Yeah,
I'm involved in the show. So with Sophie, Sophie Monk
was hosting, maybe she needs someone to bounce off, and
so they said we need someone before the award show
starts to come out on stage and to then get
(12:14):
them to then move into the middle seats, like moved
down from the back.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
God, that was you.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
And I was like, but he said it in a
way which it was like, what an honor, What an
honor to be there to move people in their seats.
And I was like, do you know what, John, I
am your guy. I'll do it. And I said to Laura,
I'm like, You're never gonna believe it. I'm like the guy.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
See, you weren't even the crowd warm up.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Your job wasn't to warm people up for like Sophie
in the host there was just to get people in
their seat or an usher.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I was like an on stage usher. Correct. Yeah, when
I was a role that I was glad to take.
Turns out, people don't want to move in their seats
once they sit down. It was hard going.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
I was still uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I was struggling. I think I managed to move one
person on the because I came off the stage and
I grabbed him by the collar and I I got
him to move seats.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Say on, one person moved, and your whole stick of
trying to get people.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
To move in my success rate wasn't good. So I
got one of five thousand, what to me moved and
then I looked to my right to be like, well,
I guess you know. I was told it was going
to be five minutes, and then he said I need.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I' five more minutes. No he did not.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
So then he there's a big clock that was a
countdown clock. So I looked and there's five more minutes remaining,
and I was like, oh, what do I do? And
I did have in my housekeeping notes. I had a
note to say a stand up comedy said something about
the toilets and something about the bar, and so I
was thinking, well, how can I got two things to
talk about? How can I fill in five whole minutes
(13:45):
in front of five thousand people at the awards.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Well, I do remember this because last week before the awards,
you were running some of the jokes by us.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I produced grace in myself and asking what you should
and shouldn't do, and I clearly remember we vetoed ninety
nine percent of what.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Okay, I did have a couple of jokes in my
back pocket. Producer Grace thoughts on the jokes, Well, I
don't know that I remember you guys said yes.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I don't think we said yes.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
I think we said if you've got nothing else, potentially
and I had we.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Said as a last resort, I guess it was. It
was an extra five minutes on the car.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
I was up on stage. Okay, now, I said a
joke which I thought went pretty well. After the event,
I jump on TikTok, I see a video and this
is what the video says.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
I feel like it was quite a tacky event.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
The host started with who's.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Done a ship tonight? Let's give a round up the
pause for the toilets, assuming is you so you didn't listen.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
To us for the record, and she even says, like
the on screen, it wasn't Sophie Monk, it was the
host before.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
So you didn't get a name. It was just the
host before.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
That's a good thing you didn't she didn't know your name,
So I said, if you have gone to the toilet
and done an shi t make some noise?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Did anyone make a noise?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
One person did?
Speaker 1 (15:06):
The person you made me?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Is it me am either problem? Or is it the
kids on TikTok?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
When you said that, did anybody cheer or react?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Or was it like? Was it your worst nightmare where
it's just silence?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
A lot of people were talking, There was a lot
of shh. One person made some noise, and I said,
that's the spirit.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Good on you?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Will there be a second which the response to that
was no noise, And he said, then I thought, I'll
start talking about the bar.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Did that go any better?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Not really, because the bar was closed.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
What have you learned from it? Maybe? Is it to
listen to produce a grace of myself?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I run the jokes, but I think you've got to
pick your audience. And it's evident to me that wasn't
my audience. My audience is out there. There are people
out there who find those jokes funny. It just wasn't
the right crowd.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
There's also, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
There's nothing worse than when you've you've been told what
you do you've got the time frame.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
To do it. You know what you can deliver in
that time, and.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Then they spring on you that you've got to double
what you've done and.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Off the cuff. It's like cooking a meal for five
people and then five minutes before the meal is ready,
someone says, actually there's ten people. Okay, that's what I
was dealing with.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yeah, that's that's tough. Has it put you off?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Not at all. I will continue my Pooh jokes because
I think Brittany, if you can't laugh about Pooh, what
can you?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
You know what your problem is.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
It's not that people can't laugh about Pooh. In a
room of five thousand people has been live streamed. No
one wants to put their hand up and said, yeah,
I just share that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
No one wants to admit to it.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
As one person did message me and they said, I
actually did go the time, I was too embarrassed to.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Say thanks for support, buddy, I could have done.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
When you're out there, all you have to do is
tell us your kayot at Christmas moment.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Let's go to Dannielle. Hey, Danielle, what is your kayot
Christmas moment?
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Last Christmas we got a huge trampoline for the kids.
My husband thought he'd put it together for a I
was working and he didn't have the safety mats on,
and he thought he'd test the trampoline out ended up
getting stuck one leg either side, Yes, and ended up
(17:15):
getting his private stuck.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
What the spring?
Speaker 5 (17:19):
Yes, he had to go to hospital. He ended up
losing one for one of his balls.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Oh my god, Now this took a turn.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
I thought this was supposed to be like he just
bounced off the trampoline. He lost a testicle to the trampoline.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
Yes, and he had to have stitches. He was in
hospital for a few days.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Did the kids still get the trampoline?
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Were he sort of put it off for a few
days as hubby was in hospital. Yes, and then I
made sure the safety mats were on before the kids
got to jump on it at Christmas time.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
I think this is a really important PSA to anyone
out there thinking about trampoline for Christmas. You've got to
put down the sae, do you know?
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Definitely?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Is it?
Speaker 7 (18:02):
Like?
Speaker 3 (18:03):
I'm sorry for praying. I've just never heard a story
like this. Could he not get up and it was
stuck in the trampoline?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Did get out.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
We had to ring the We rang the ambulance and
the fire brigade, so we did have a few people there,
but the Fieries ended up getting him out. And then yeah,
the ambulance was there at a.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Rock off between the Fieries and out of the Spring.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
It's literally the real life something about Mary. I've never
heard of it.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
But also credit credit to your husband and tell me
if this is not the case. Did he build that
by himself?
Speaker 5 (18:37):
He did? He did so, he done very well that
he was trying to get it all done while I
was work.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Well, you can go and tell him that you've won
a thousand dollars to spend at IgA.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Thank you so much today, guys. That'll make it all worthwhile.
I'll make sure he stays away from the trampoline.
Speaker 7 (18:55):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
That story just took a turn I did not see.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Gumming very Christmas.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Wow, Merry Christmas, guys, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
See you.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
A few weeks ago, you might remember I had a
little complaint, a little like rage about how I felt
like shows on streamers and movies now, which is I
felt like they were being dumbs down and I couldn't
put my finger on it.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I complained that it's like the writing was terrible.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
You always get to the end and it's like they've
run out of time and they just throw and slap
an ending together.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
I want to say, I remember this.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
You don't.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
You don't really listen to me, dude, I know that's
not true to I'm always listening. I don't remember this
particular conversation. But is there something that you stand by?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
It is something I stand by. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
I feel like it's a hard conversation to have unless
you understand producer Grace. Have you noticed like shows just
seemed to be not as in depth or you don't
have to you don't have to pay enough attention, you
don't have to pay as much attention to them.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Yeah, I've noticed as a few shows, but I thought
that was maybe just the caliber of show I was
choosing to watch.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Yeah, right, okay, well whatever, I've noticed it.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
But I want to tell you this because it has
just come out that this is really a thing. So
Netflix writers have admitted that they have been given the
instructions now to actively create shows that it will appeal
to people that don't know how to put their phones down.
So basically, now it has been taken into consideration that
we live.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
In a world where gone are the.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Days of somebody going saying, hey, let's have a movie night,
sitting down with their popcorn, no phone, and just watching
and locking into a movie. Like think of the last time, Matt,
that you sat down and locked into a movie without
having your phone even in the room.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Like, is that even a thing?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah, I'm pretty bad. My mum who lives with us,
she loves a little movie night, and I do like
a little like you know, the phone scroll, little scroll.
But I think I actually think them dumbing it down
is part of the problem. They have to but no,
because when you're making it like really dumb, then you
can kind of easily zone out. So I feel like,
(21:02):
if it's a complicated storyline, you need to stay locked
in and you're engaged in the show. But when you
dumb it down, it just you know, it means that
you're not fussed about jumping off and going for a
five minutes scroll on TikTok.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Well, that's interesting because you're sort of having a conversation
of what came first, the chicken or the egg. You're
saying that, oh, if they want to keep our attention,
make it better. But they're saying we have to dumb
it down because we've already lost our attention.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
They're enabling me. Oh, they're enabling me and it's their fault.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Well, it's because of the likes of TikTok and stuff.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Our attention span is now. I think it's something like
three point three seconds.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
What's the producer, grace, you'll know this answer. What is
the movie? Inception? Yep, I looked at you. That's how
smart you are. I looked at.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
You and three your brain.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Thank you, thank you, You're welcome. Okay, inception. Have you
seen a brick? Yeah, complicated storyline. Yes, I will watch
that movie and I will lock in. I know that
I have to.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
But it's because you watched it before gen the first
time before we were in this like.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Attention Shutter island. Shutter Island.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Guys again, like.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Twenty years old, So that's actually it's thirty years That's
the thing.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
If you give people slop.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Well, this is and I don't know if you've noticed this.
It's so annoying to me.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
So they've been writers have been told that they have
to announce what they're doing in the writing. So What
I mean by that is it's so that when someone's
watching the TV but they're also cooking at the same
time and they're on TikTok, that they can just hear
it and know. So now, I don't know if you've noticed,
like the characters are like rehashing what they've done, so
they'll be like, Matt, we had such a great date
(22:39):
in the park yesterday at ten am when that guy
rode passed on the bike and still that phone and
they have to in their dialogue. They're recapping the whole thing,
and it's frustrated.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Again enabling, very enabling behavior.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
I hate it, And what it means is I think
writers are leaving in Mass Exodus too, because they're like,
this is a reflect of my work and it's terrible.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Actually, do you know what I think the big problem
is here. I think Brittany is too smart.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Yeah, I'll double down on that.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
That's a stick with that.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Tell Wall Street Journal you.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Need to get dumber, Brittany. How am I get down
to our level?
Speaker 3 (23:15):
I know there are people listening right now that know
exactly what I'm talking about, and I think we need
to sharpen up. Put your tiktoks down. Put your phones
down next time you watch a movie. Honestly leave your
phone in the other room or just out of reach
a couple of meters away, so you can't like just
subconsciously pick it up.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
All right, Mom, No, I'm gonna test.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
You all to do it.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Matt, you two, I know you're gonna have a movie
night this weekend. Put your phone down and engage with
your mine.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I promise I will. Brittany, you're going to find this
article very interesting. Can I read you the headline? Okay, okay?
Guest irritated after finding out friends big splashy wedding with
expensive gift registry wasn't actually illegal ceremony. Who does that?
Speaker 3 (24:01):
I'm going to assume you want me to say me,
I don't think that reminds me of me. Well, I
had a big, splashy wedding, but I didn't have a
big splashy gift registry.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
But my wedding wasn't legal.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
I don't think I gained No, we did. Laura gave
you the rings, that's right. I don't think I gave
you a gift.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
No, you guys didn't give a gift as such.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Hang on on the day, but you Laura designed and
made and gave me my ring. Yes, absolutely, which was
like the most incredible gift.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Shout out to my wife, Laura and Tony May. I
didn't know though, that your wedding. I did think it
was a little bit strange, because can I just remind
people if they're not familiar with how things unfolded. There
was a joke that was made about you didn't have
a celebrant or they couldn't get a flight, and so
your dad had to step in last second.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Yeah, I mean that was always planned.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
So the giveaway should have been that my dad did
officiate my wedding.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
And my dad is not a celebrant. My dad is
a builder.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
So my wedding, by all accounts, it was in Bali.
It was big, it was beautiful, It was seemed like
a proper wedding. But and it was. But it wasn't legal,
but we treated it like it was legal. But we
didn't have a gift registry. I would never do a
gift registry.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
But there was like if.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Anyone wanted to leave something, of course they could have.
But Mattie Jay, what is this woman mad about? Just
the fact that they pretended it was a wedding, but
they didn't officially sign something.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Look pretty much. I'm going to read you the quote
here and it says rationally, I know it makes no
difference to my life whether they are legally married or not,
but I still feel sort of duped. And do you
know what, Britney.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Hockley, you feel duped to?
Speaker 2 (25:34):
I feel a little bit jooped here. I was tears
in my eyes at you and Ben tying they're not
And actually it wasn't a wedding at all.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
It was a wedding.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
It was just a fancy little get together with people
dressed in formal attire. I knew in a wedding.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Dress, three wedding dresses I did.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
I was thinking to myself, Oh they didn't. You didn't
have the moment if I now pronounce your husband and
what we did? I did?
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I did that produce a grace?
Speaker 2 (25:59):
You there?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Do you think it's still a wedding? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (26:03):
That was like the main part of the wedding when
they kissed and h whatnot. Yeah, that was like still
a wedding. Okay, well, actually what is you No? No, no, no,
hang on, because.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
We've been producer grace, we have been taken advantage of
let's let's call a spade a spade. Brittany conned, conned
everyone in attendance.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
I'm pretty sure that was a headline. Actually it was,
But I say I then went to the legal wedding
the next week.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
So I was like, this is fine.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
I reckon Maddie's offer because he didn't come to the
legal wedding because we did. We did lock it down
a week later, like it is legitimate. We are legitimately married,
and we didn't. We didn't try and trick people.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Did you receive any backlash from any guests after they
found out that you were No, Okay.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Absolutely not, because it's not It wasn't a party with
randoms with all my family and friends.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
No one's going to have backlash.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Just so I'm not like the only one here being outraged.
Producer Grace, can I ask, as you were in attended,
knowing that it was an illegal ceremony, did you in
any way feel taken advantage of the fact that you
paid all that money to fly to BALLEI have a
beautiful dress. You look great, by the way.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Thank you careful, Grace, because you I am paying for
the Christmas party tonight, so I was just happy.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
To be there.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
That is what a true friend would say. So, Maddie
j I'm so glad you didn't make it to my
legal wenning.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I was busy.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Maddie Jay is still with us, Scotts.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
I say that like you're going to pass away, don't
I he's holding on by a threat.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
He's terminal. It's not long now, it's not long.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
A couple of weeks, heh.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
I think, yeah, well the mood less than two weeks,
just to manage expectations because people may tune in and go,
hang on a second, where has he gone?
Speaker 8 (27:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
I am healthy, I'm happy.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
But do you we need to have a party to
celebrate that you're leaving.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Oh, that's a very good question. I think we should.
It would be remiss of us not to have some
type of an occasion to celebrate.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Well, this is going to bring me into exactly what
I want to talk about. There is an influencer and
I don't know if you've seen her online her she's
a Melbourne influencer. Her name is Adele Petropolis and she's
going viral at the moment for celebrating her wedding day
because she's the.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Picture of her. She's holding up a white cake.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
She's with all her friends, but on the cake is
written cheas don't get cake.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
She looks very happy, considering she's someone who's recently split. Yeah,
the wedding's not going ahead.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Well, so she didn't say a lot. That was all
she did was say celebrating her wedding. And the cake
says cheets don't get cakes. So she's obviously found out
her partner has cheated on her. She's been like, stuff you,
there's no way I'm marrying you. But you can't cancel
wedding days and get your money back. So she's had
the date still and just thrown like a celebration party.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
I think this is a great approach and Brittain, as
I've always said, you know me, I've said this quite
often at least once a day when life gives you lemons,
eat cake. Well, there it is, write it down, put
it on the shirt. I think it's great because you
could be sitting there all glum by yourself at home,
being like this should be the best of my life.
And you know what, I'm going to have a party.
(29:07):
I'm going to celebrate. I celebrate a very special occasion
which some people say could be sad, but for me,
I want to hear it. What is it's when I
got the snip.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
You haven't got the snip, or you want to I've.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Got the snip. Snip down there? Can I say? Circumcised?
Is that a lot of I thought you might have
to me that hasn't happened. No, I it was Feb
thirteen thirteen.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Didn't you get at an adult circumcision?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
I was. I was Grade one, So I celebrate that
every year Feb thirteen. It's a special occasion. Yep.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
And why did you get it so old?
Speaker 2 (29:42):
I was born. How do you say it's medically too
much foreskin?
Speaker 4 (29:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
It's like that is the medical term, like.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
A little red riding the.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Hood of my jumper was too big.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Okay, well let's well that was a segway.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Let's take it back to the story of like celebrating
these moments.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I love that you celebrate that, though.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Man psychologist Amanda Ferguson says that it is actually really
important to celebrate milestones in life, but not just the
good ones and the bad ones.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
And there's been a real trend in divorce parties.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
I don't know if you've seen that people are trying
to turn the tables.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
I'm not sad that I'm divorcing, Like, let's celebrate this.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Whenever I think of the word divorce, I think of
that image of Nicole Kidman and I don't know if
that's real, but it's when she's skipping down the road
she's just divorced from Tom Cruise and she just has
pure elation on her face.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
I reckon that was probably a scene out of a
movie that they've taken and click baited it and said
that that was like after she just signed the or's papers.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I want to believe it's real because that must feel
so good when you can just relinquish the shackles, you're free.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I don't have anything sad that I celebrate.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Actually, I know Producer Grace's parents that want to have
a divorce party.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Yeah, they're still technically married. They've been separated for fifteen years.
They haven't gotten around to doing the paperwork, but they
plan on having a divorce party when it happened.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Do you think there's like a limit on how long
you should be separated for when you get your divorce.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Well, you know it costs like fifteen hundred dollars or something.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
To get divorced and there's a lot of money, does it.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Yeah, They're like, well, it's it's not really affecting our
lives in any way whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
They had a very amicable split obviously. Well, I mean
evidently if they're still friends fifteen years later.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Yeah, it is Thursday, which means it's time for the
one and only Ask gun Cut.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
I love ask gun Cut and Britt. You know, since
I've started doing this radio show, I get so many
people coming up to me in the street just going
thank you, thank you for all the wisdom that you
offer the people on your show, Oprah, they call me.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
That's what I'm like, I'm just going to stop your
idea because no one's ever said that to you. Because
your advice to date has always been quite controversial.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Friends of mine have always come to me with their problems. Okay.
That's just the type of person that I am. I'm
very open and very warm. I'm always keen to listen.
And one friend in particular came to me and I
had to stop in my wait, whoa, whoa. I was like,
how would you feel about talking about this on the
radio show? And he said, sure, this is a voice, Brittany.
(32:09):
You may know him.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
You have met him before, You've sourced our ask gun cutters.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Yeah, he's been there marinetting for a few days now.
I said, gotta wait till Thursday. I can't help you
until Thursday. It's a Tuesday. Just hold your horses. But
his name is Ashwicks. Can do a podcast called two
Letting Dads, And here he is.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Oh hi Ash, Hello, guys, how are you are?
Speaker 3 (32:29):
You actually experience some problems and he's Matt really the
first person you go to.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
Oh.
Speaker 9 (32:34):
Absolutely, he's the voice of reason. So I'm actually I
feel very privileged to be on the show this afternoon,
because everyone's got a lot of questions around this time
of year. And I'm so thankful that Matt said to me,
don't ask me any questions until I get you on.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
The radio on national radio. Okay, So what's what is
your problem?
Speaker 6 (32:53):
I'm going to call it a grup. Okay, it's a problem.
It's a grip.
Speaker 9 (32:56):
So every year, my beautiful wife, for April her family
do a secret center. Yeah, but this year I asked
the question whether I can be not involved, or whether
I have a choice to be involved, or it's just
mandatory because I'm married to her.
Speaker 6 (33:12):
That's my dilemma.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Yeah, okay, your question is just do you have to.
Speaker 6 (33:16):
Do the Chris Kring or I have to do it?
I do it every year. I've had enough.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Okay? Can I ask Ash? How does it normally unfold?
Like what time of the day do they say now
it's time for Secret Center?
Speaker 9 (33:28):
It varies from year to year because as we know,
like you know, there's more than one family involved in this.
So it's like, do we have Christmas lunch there, Christmas breakfast,
Christmas dinner? I don't know so, but it usually happens.
I would say, after the food, but before the sweet tree.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
So can I just confirm the logistics here?
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Ash?
Speaker 3 (33:48):
So regardless of it, if you are involved in the
Secret Center, you're there anyway. So you're not saying like, hey,
I don't want to go to the Christmas like are you?
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Are you all there anyway? You're just saying I just
don't want to contribute the present and I don't want
to get one. Is that right?
Speaker 9 (34:01):
I'm there, but I'm protesting, mate, you are being a grin.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Sorry, hang on, hang on, Brittany, just before you start
attacking our guests. Ash, I apologize for that.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
He's also a friend.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
She gets she gets very aggressive when we do this segment,
So just be mindful of that.
Speaker 6 (34:16):
I kind of like that.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Can I ask Ash before we make our final call?
What is the ballpark price that you have to work
within the budget for the gift?
Speaker 5 (34:27):
Ah?
Speaker 6 (34:27):
Look, it's usually one hundred dollars?
Speaker 1 (34:30):
What sorry, But what that means is you're only buying one.
You're actually saving money.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
You don't have to buy ten people's presents by eight
people's how many people it is. It's Ash, You're already there.
It's one day a year. Just get involved.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Get involved so the kids can see it's all merry
and happy. It's not a big deal.
Speaker 6 (34:47):
It's all very awkward. Bud, I don't know. Look, I've
always found Christmas very awkward.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
But no one knows it's you because it's a secret.
So no one knows that if your present was awkward.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
But is it a secret?
Speaker 9 (35:00):
I feel like by the time you get to the
Christmas day, everyone already knows who has to one. In
a small family, why can't we just get together, have
a meal, celebrate the day, and move on with our lives.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Look, ideally that could be great, but the rest of
the family has committed to the Chris Kringle.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Can I ask a question just to everyone right now, yourself,
Brittany Ash, you're included in this. Does anyone out there
actually enjoy secret Center?
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Okay, all right?
Speaker 3 (35:27):
And producer grace is not in Well, we know you
don't grinchy, but produce a Grace is not in USh.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Just know this. I will be down the coast and
if you would like to spend the day with me
and my family, you're more than welcome. We will not
do secret sound out. The imitation is there, guys.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
It's once a year. Thank goodness, it's once a year.
Get involved. Put your little sander hat on. If you're
just being lazy, Ash, get a vouch, I you can
get them on.
Speaker 6 (35:50):
I'm not being lazy at all.
Speaker 9 (35:52):
I'll have you know it that as a child, we
did not have a Christmas tree in my house.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Well, that's more reason for you to get involved.
Speaker 6 (35:58):
No, I'm very sading.
Speaker 9 (36:00):
Ways, I have endured it for fourteen long years now,
and on this fifteenth year, I would like to say
I don't want to be involved, but apparently I don't.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Have a choice, and so your wife has said literally
like use it or lose it.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
She's like, you're in it.
Speaker 9 (36:16):
Yeah, the repercussions aren't worth the fight, I would say,
but I still I'm stubborn and I want to try
and stand my ground in some capacity.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
It's a fight you're not going to win.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
So I pray you as you stay strong. Buddy. I'm
in your corner. I'm cheering you on.
Speaker 8 (36:29):
Guys than I can always rely on you, all right,
someone hang up on Ash, please, we love your I
just think get involved.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
It's one day a year's not a big deal. Makes
them feel a bit special.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
I just wanted to just like send him down that road.
Just if you do it, he will do it.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
I reckon he's going to turn up with no present.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
I reckon he will. He listens to everything I say.
That's the great thing about Ash.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
It's concerning Kanada.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
Taka Bata Bergam Kanada
This episode was recorded on cameragle Land. Hi guys, and
welcome back to another episode of Life on Cut. I'm Brittany.
My name is Laura, and that is manager. Laura would
be so offended by that.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It does sound a bit like Laura and anything.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Absolutely not. This is our pick up podcast. This is
our radio show.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
We do it all week and then we package it
up for you. In one little spot, I can.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Ask you a question about Ben Brittany, my.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Beautiful, beautiful, big manly Swiss husband.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yeah, that's the one. Do you guys, do you fart
in front of each other?
Speaker 4 (00:34):
No?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
We yeah, we don't.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Why not? It told me through that, you know, I reckon.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
It's like a In my family growing up, it was
like the height of rudeness, like that is as kids.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
That's what we were taught my mom and dad.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Mom and dad have never we wouldn't even fart was
like a swear word in my family. So we had
to use whiz pop or pop off because fart was.
You couldn't say the word no because fart was My
mum had said it was too crude.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
So that and that was because that's how my mom was.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
You guys are from Port stevens Port McQuary.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
But what does that mean?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Well, just you know, not to have a digger people,
but you're like regional Australia.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Mom and dad grew up in Sydney, then we moved
to the to portmcrey.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Is gonna say to the country.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
There we go Sydney. Sydney people don't allow farts in.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
The filmily, so I'm not a farer and I don't.
Ben has never fared in front of me.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Not once accidental.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
No, but I have done with pops in front of
him before, but only.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
When like little rogue ones.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah, only like not even intentionally, like accidentally.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I would be mortified. I just I don't like it.
And I also don't want to sit there and have
my partner just letting them.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Rip because I'm just not attracted to it. And I
know that the Armond minority.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
What happens if, like you're in bed, you lay down,
you relax. As you relax, as you're about to drift
off to sleep, the body, as it relaxes, wants to
let out a little toot.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
What do you do if you're still conscious? You need
to get up and leave the room. I'm getting such god,
But once you asleep, it's free rain, like you can
do whatever.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Here you think down the line, at some point it
will happen that you'll crossover in the fart territory.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Never if it's an occasional thing and it's like you're
you're feeling unwell.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Who I'm just not a I'm not when you're pregnant,
you'll become so gassy.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, I think that's different.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
But like in my general day today, it's something that
we set. But Ben also doesn't want to fight in
front of me. He doesn't want me to find around here.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I've been fighting all day in this chair.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
We all know, Matt. It's an enclosed room. We can
smell it.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Oops, sorry about that, don't know You're not sorry. No,
I don't care. I don't care. We've got it in here.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
But why were you so interested in might have been fighting.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I don't find it really interesting that some couples don't
do that. And I'm like, but you're going to have sex,
like you're going to be in each other because.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Sex is intimate and sex and there is nothing sexy
about lifting a leg and like that's just not she cares.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Life's too short to leave the room produce the grace. No.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
You can tell by the look on her face she's
a fat She's.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
No.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
I just think there's a certain level of comfort around
your partner.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
But it's not that I'm not comfortable. It's that I
want to stay turned on by him and attracted by him.
I don't want to smell his protein farts that his
had al day.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
My wife and I have actually, recently since we've gotten married,
introduced what we call the romance door, which is when
we close the door when we're doing a number two.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Wow, it's really elevating that And they say romance is
like that.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I like that a lot.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
So you say, hey, I'm closing the romans door so
everyone knows you're doing a shit.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Ye.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Laura's crept into that that kind of territory where she
need to brush her teeth and I'm like, I'm doing
a number two and she's like, I don't care, and I'm.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Like, no, I see too far. That is too far
taking a poo.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
We're there now. I think we tried to get out,
but we're like in the deep abyss of just married life.
That's what we do now.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Married life doesn't have to mean that married life. Marriage
life is foot, you create, you're happy.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
How many times do you have sex? I know the truth,
Laura told me, I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
It will be sad for our little, our little showmance
to come to an end. Mat.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
It will be very disappointing. I'll be very upset. There'll
be a level of mourning once it ends.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah, I'll miss my macarions.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Your macarons. But this was a great week, great week.
My highlight was actually inviting my podcast husband onto the
show Ash. We had the ask and cut question. He's
got a dilemma about secret Sanders, which.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Wasn't so much of a dilemma, really was it?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
What would you call it?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I just think he's been lazy. I think he knew
the answer. He was he knew you'd try and side
with him best.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Also, because it's the way he was brought up. He's
been conditioned to be like this brute.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
That was pretty intense. He just said he grew up
never even having any christ You said nothing, No, I did.
I just didn't have time to unpack his trauma.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
But it's too quick. We were like, sorry, it's radio,
gotta be quick.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
Bye.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
We didn't explain to I.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
You know, I stumbled across a couple of articles this
week that I think are really good for people that
might be going through something in the future like divorces
or or no you no bad for you, but breakups.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
But it's people that are starting to celebrate the darker times.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
One thing we didn't talk about, Matt.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
There was one thing story going around a little while
ago about a lady that unfortunately knew she was dying,
like she had an illness that was going to kill her,
and she threw her funeral while she was alive.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Because she's like, why should I miss out on the party?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
And so I thought that was really cool, Like she
just had a party that was almost like a farewell party,
but she wanted to be there.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
That I love that if I had the opportunity to
say goodbye to people, I will do that.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
I thought, you're gonna tell me about what you wanted
when you were when you were dead. Then remember how
I said I wanted if I die to be cremated
and put into fireworks and put into the sky.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
How can I forget so many good conversations, Brittany, These
are your type of conversations. I will miss. I knew
it at the end of the year.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Well, let's get into the show. Maddy Jay.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
You have been well and truly sucked into the Big
Brother of all tex You haven't you.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I'm in my defense. You know who's really hooked in
my household?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Your mom, My mom. I knew you'd say that. Ellie
loves reality TV.
Speaker 7 (06:31):
My mom.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yesterday morning was I turn it on. It's Big Brother,
the evictions about to happen.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
It was eviction day.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
I was driving five hours on the highway.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I didn't get to watch it, but I know you
did and you have some thoughts.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I know it was a big episode and we actually
have the evictor on the line. She's being billed as
one of the best looking housemates we've ever had in
the history of Big Brother. She was involved in so
much drama, there was a love, there was arguments. It
is holy welcome.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
You going to get anything coming out of one of
these shows.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
It's like the best looking.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
Oh guys, at this point, I'm just happy to be here.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
How are you feeling what to be in twelve to thirteen? No, God,
I can't do the math. It's been less than a
day and more.
Speaker 7 (07:15):
I don't ask me to do the math either. Wow,
what an amazing experience to be a part of. It's
just intense, really, like from start to finish. However, I'm
so grateful for the experience.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
And you know what, I didn't anticipate, Holly, such a
beautiful love story. I've got to ask the letter it
was a covert operation. Did you write the letter in
the toilet? Is that what happened to Colin?
Speaker 7 (07:41):
I can't give away my tricks, but it did. I
did sacrifice a lip liner in the processor.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
That is Love's as you know.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
As you know that there's no pens allowed in the
Big Brother House or paper. However, Colin and I did
say of a couple of the questions that were sent
in by the viewers at home that were in relation
to us, and we sort of had that kept in
the bedside table.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
What did the letter say? Tell me?
Speaker 7 (08:12):
I'm like chomping to know, guys, it's personal.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Did you drop the album in the letter? Potentially she did, Holly,
I honestly, hand on heart. I love the love story
between you and Colin. There was one video and I
don't know if you've seen it. It was posted online
and I had to defend you on Colin because the
video is it's you guys sitting outside, You're side by side.
(08:38):
It looks like you look at the camera and then
pull Colin in close for a cuddle whilst making eye
contact with the camera. Do you remember that scene? Have
you seen the footage?
Speaker 7 (08:50):
I haven't seen the footage, but I can say the
thing is, like, do you do forget that there's cameras everywhere?
So like I probably was like zoning out, not even
realizing that the camera was there, because literally there's cameras everywhere. Like,
I probably just wanted a hug.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Are you guys going to seeing each other when Colin
leaves the house?
Speaker 7 (09:10):
Yeah, we have a little plan and we're intending on
sticking to it. We met under guys, we need to
have some level of privacy.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Brother, That's what i'd say.
Speaker 7 (09:24):
We've just been on nice little TV for the last
three weeks. You guys will see it all, Like, stay tuned,
get excited. It's all good. We're both really excited. We've
got our first date night lined up. We're going to
go to Luna Park in Sydney. We're very lucky that
we both live in the same state.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Is he your favorite to win the show?
Speaker 7 (09:45):
Of course I might be biased, I might not be biased,
but I think Connor is also definitely a very intelligent
individual and he really he's a walking encyclopedia. So I
feel like, you know, Colin has a lot of support.
They all do. And it's going to get very intent
now because I feel like there's no distractions.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
If you could have changed anything at all on the
show with your time there, what would it have been?
Speaker 7 (10:13):
Not a lot. I feel like I learned so much,
even though I may have, you know, put my hand
in the fire unintentionally a few times. That resulted in
a huge amount of personal growth and you can't put
a price on that. So the fact that you know,
I didn't win, that's totally fine because the lessons that
I've learned and you know, being able to co share,
(10:34):
to co live, I have not done that in a
very long time. It's such big personalities from all different
walks of life to be able to recognize that, you
know what that actually you know, maybe take that into
consideration next time.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Hy And well, look, we can't wait to see what
happens after the show where Colin sits, does the relationship
Blossom does a fizzle.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
We're all here for it. But well done for surviving
the Big Brother House, Holly.
Speaker 7 (10:58):
Thank you. It was a very big past that I
was probably underqualified for, but we gave it a crack.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
You did well, so good life for the future. I'm
sure we're going to see you around.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
Thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I had the TikTok Awards, Brittany. And for those of
you who may not know that there were even a
TikTok Awards on it was in its fifth year and
it is a celebration of the best creators on TikTok
across fourteen categories. It's like the Logis but for TikTok.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
But you weren't there as a creator of us spectator.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
You had a very important job.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Well, I was there with Stan and maybe like a
week leading up to the event, I got a call
from TikTok and I answered the call and I said, look,
we would like you to be involved in the actual
awards show. I was doing some stuff outside.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Is TikTok calling you, like big Brother? Like, who's the
person that calls His name's John? Okay, he's a real person.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Yeah, he's lovely, really nice, very friendly and he called
me and he said, we'd like you to be involved
in the awards. And I was like, oh my god,
maybe I'm going to present like an award. Maybe, Yeah,
I'm involved in the show. So with Sophie, Sophie Monk
was hosting, maybe she needs someone to bounce off, and
so they said we need someone before the award show
starts to come out on stage and to then get
(12:14):
them to then move into the middle seats, like moved
down from the back.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
God, that was you.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
And I was like, but he said it in a
way which it was like, what an honor, What an
honor to be there to move people in their seats.
And I was like, do you know what, John, I
am your guy. I'll do it. And I said to Laura,
I'm like, You're never gonna believe it. I'm like the guy.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
See, you weren't even the crowd warm up.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Your job wasn't to warm people up for like Sophie
in the host there was just to get people in
their seat or an usher.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I was like an on stage usher. Correct. Yeah, when
I was a role that I was glad to take.
Turns out, people don't want to move in their seats
once they sit down. It was hard going.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
I was still uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I was struggling. I think I managed to move one
person on the because I came off the stage and
I grabbed him by the collar and I I got
him to move seats.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Say on, one person moved, and your whole stick of
trying to get people.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
To move in my success rate wasn't good. So I
got one of five thousand, what to me moved and
then I looked to my right to be like, well,
I guess you know. I was told it was going
to be five minutes, and then he said I need.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I' five more minutes. No he did not.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
So then he there's a big clock that was a
countdown clock. So I looked and there's five more minutes remaining,
and I was like, oh, what do I do? And
I did have in my housekeeping notes. I had a
note to say a stand up comedy said something about
the toilets and something about the bar, and so I
was thinking, well, how can I got two things to
talk about? How can I fill in five whole minutes
(13:45):
in front of five thousand people at the awards.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Well, I do remember this because last week before the awards,
you were running some of the jokes by us.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I produced grace in myself and asking what you should
and shouldn't do, and I clearly remember we vetoed ninety
nine percent of what.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Okay, I did have a couple of jokes in my
back pocket. Producer Grace thoughts on the jokes, Well, I
don't know that I remember you guys said yes.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I don't think we said yes.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
I think we said if you've got nothing else, potentially
and I had we.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Said as a last resort, I guess it was. It
was an extra five minutes on the car.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
I was up on stage. Okay, now, I said a
joke which I thought went pretty well. After the event,
I jump on TikTok, I see a video and this
is what the video says.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
I feel like it was quite a tacky event.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
The host started with who's.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Done a ship tonight? Let's give a round up the
pause for the toilets, assuming is you so you didn't listen.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
To us for the record, and she even says, like
the on screen, it wasn't Sophie Monk, it was the
host before.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
So you didn't get a name. It was just the
host before.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
That's a good thing you didn't she didn't know your name,
So I said, if you have gone to the toilet
and done an shi t make some noise?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Did anyone make a noise?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
One person did?
Speaker 1 (15:06):
The person you made me?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Is it me am either problem? Or is it the
kids on TikTok?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
When you said that, did anybody cheer or react?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Or was it like? Was it your worst nightmare where
it's just silence?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
A lot of people were talking, There was a lot
of shh. One person made some noise, and I said,
that's the spirit.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Good on you?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Will there be a second which the response to that
was no noise, And he said, then I thought, I'll
start talking about the bar.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Did that go any better?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Not really, because the bar was closed.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
What have you learned from it? Maybe? Is it to
listen to produce a grace of myself?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I run the jokes, but I think you've got to
pick your audience. And it's evident to me that wasn't
my audience. My audience is out there. There are people
out there who find those jokes funny. It just wasn't
the right crowd.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
There's also, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
There's nothing worse than when you've you've been told what
you do you've got the time frame.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
To do it. You know what you can deliver in
that time, and.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Then they spring on you that you've got to double
what you've done and.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Off the cuff. It's like cooking a meal for five
people and then five minutes before the meal is ready,
someone says, actually there's ten people. Okay, that's what I
was dealing with.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yeah, that's that's tough. Has it put you off?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Not at all. I will continue my Pooh jokes because
I think Brittany, if you can't laugh about Pooh, what
can you?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
You know what your problem is.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
It's not that people can't laugh about Pooh. In a
room of five thousand people has been live streamed. No
one wants to put their hand up and said, yeah,
I just share that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
No one wants to admit to it.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
As one person did message me and they said, I
actually did go the time, I was too embarrassed to.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Say thanks for support, buddy, I could have done.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
When you're out there, all you have to do is
tell us your kayot at Christmas moment.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Let's go to Dannielle. Hey, Danielle, what is your kayot
Christmas moment?
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Last Christmas we got a huge trampoline for the kids.
My husband thought he'd put it together for a I
was working and he didn't have the safety mats on,
and he thought he'd test the trampoline out ended up
getting stuck one leg either side, Yes, and ended up
(17:15):
getting his private stuck.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
What the spring?
Speaker 5 (17:19):
Yes, he had to go to hospital. He ended up
losing one for one of his balls.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Oh my god, Now this took a turn.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
I thought this was supposed to be like he just
bounced off the trampoline. He lost a testicle to the trampoline.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
Yes, and he had to have stitches. He was in
hospital for a few days.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Did the kids still get the trampoline?
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Were he sort of put it off for a few
days as hubby was in hospital. Yes, and then I
made sure the safety mats were on before the kids
got to jump on it at Christmas time.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
I think this is a really important PSA to anyone
out there thinking about trampoline for Christmas. You've got to
put down the sae, do you know?
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Definitely?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Is it?
Speaker 7 (18:02):
Like?
Speaker 3 (18:03):
I'm sorry for praying. I've just never heard a story
like this. Could he not get up and it was
stuck in the trampoline?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Did get out.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
We had to ring the We rang the ambulance and
the fire brigade, so we did have a few people there,
but the Fieries ended up getting him out. And then yeah,
the ambulance was there at a.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Rock off between the Fieries and out of the Spring.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
It's literally the real life something about Mary. I've never
heard of it.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
But also credit credit to your husband and tell me
if this is not the case. Did he build that
by himself?
Speaker 5 (18:37):
He did? He did so, he done very well that
he was trying to get it all done while I
was work.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Well, you can go and tell him that you've won
a thousand dollars to spend at IgA.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Thank you so much today, guys. That'll make it all worthwhile.
I'll make sure he stays away from the trampoline.
Speaker 7 (18:55):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
That story just took a turn I did not see.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Gumming very Christmas.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Wow, Merry Christmas, guys, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
See you.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
A few weeks ago, you might remember I had a
little complaint, a little like rage about how I felt
like shows on streamers and movies now, which is I
felt like they were being dumbs down and I couldn't
put my finger on it.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I complained that it's like the writing was terrible.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
You always get to the end and it's like they've
run out of time and they just throw and slap
an ending together.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
I want to say, I remember this.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
You don't.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
You don't really listen to me, dude, I know that's
not true to I'm always listening. I don't remember this
particular conversation. But is there something that you stand by?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
It is something I stand by. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
I feel like it's a hard conversation to have unless
you understand producer Grace. Have you noticed like shows just
seemed to be not as in depth or you don't
have to you don't have to pay enough attention, you
don't have to pay as much attention to them.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Yeah, I've noticed as a few shows, but I thought
that was maybe just the caliber of show I was
choosing to watch.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Yeah, right, okay, well whatever, I've noticed it.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
But I want to tell you this because it has
just come out that this is really a thing. So
Netflix writers have admitted that they have been given the
instructions now to actively create shows that it will appeal
to people that don't know how to put their phones down.
So basically, now it has been taken into consideration that
we live.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
In a world where gone are the.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Days of somebody going saying, hey, let's have a movie night,
sitting down with their popcorn, no phone, and just watching
and locking into a movie. Like think of the last time, Matt,
that you sat down and locked into a movie without
having your phone even in the room.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Like, is that even a thing?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah, I'm pretty bad. My mum who lives with us,
she loves a little movie night, and I do like
a little like you know, the phone scroll, little scroll.
But I think I actually think them dumbing it down
is part of the problem. They have to but no,
because when you're making it like really dumb, then you
can kind of easily zone out. So I feel like,
(21:02):
if it's a complicated storyline, you need to stay locked
in and you're engaged in the show. But when you
dumb it down, it just you know, it means that
you're not fussed about jumping off and going for a
five minutes scroll on TikTok.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Well, that's interesting because you're sort of having a conversation
of what came first, the chicken or the egg. You're
saying that, oh, if they want to keep our attention,
make it better. But they're saying we have to dumb
it down because we've already lost our attention.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
They're enabling me. Oh, they're enabling me and it's their fault.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Well, it's because of the likes of TikTok and stuff.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Our attention span is now. I think it's something like
three point three seconds.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
What's the producer, grace, you'll know this answer. What is
the movie? Inception? Yep, I looked at you. That's how
smart you are. I looked at.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
You and three your brain.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Thank you, thank you, You're welcome. Okay, inception. Have you
seen a brick? Yeah, complicated storyline. Yes, I will watch
that movie and I will lock in. I know that
I have to.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
But it's because you watched it before gen the first
time before we were in this like.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Attention Shutter island. Shutter Island.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Guys again, like.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Twenty years old, So that's actually it's thirty years That's
the thing.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
If you give people slop.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Well, this is and I don't know if you've noticed this.
It's so annoying to me.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
So they've been writers have been told that they have
to announce what they're doing in the writing. So What
I mean by that is it's so that when someone's
watching the TV but they're also cooking at the same
time and they're on TikTok, that they can just hear
it and know. So now, I don't know if you've noticed,
like the characters are like rehashing what they've done, so
they'll be like, Matt, we had such a great date
(22:39):
in the park yesterday at ten am when that guy
rode passed on the bike and still that phone and
they have to in their dialogue. They're recapping the whole thing,
and it's frustrated.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Again enabling, very enabling behavior.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
I hate it, And what it means is I think
writers are leaving in Mass Exodus too, because they're like,
this is a reflect of my work and it's terrible.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Actually, do you know what I think the big problem
is here. I think Brittany is too smart.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Yeah, I'll double down on that.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
That's a stick with that.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Tell Wall Street Journal you.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Need to get dumber, Brittany. How am I get down
to our level?
Speaker 3 (23:15):
I know there are people listening right now that know
exactly what I'm talking about, and I think we need
to sharpen up. Put your tiktoks down. Put your phones
down next time you watch a movie. Honestly leave your
phone in the other room or just out of reach
a couple of meters away, so you can't like just
subconsciously pick it up.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
All right, Mom, No, I'm gonna test.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
You all to do it.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Matt, you two, I know you're gonna have a movie
night this weekend. Put your phone down and engage with
your mine.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I promise I will. Brittany, you're going to find this
article very interesting. Can I read you the headline? Okay, okay?
Guest irritated after finding out friends big splashy wedding with
expensive gift registry wasn't actually illegal ceremony. Who does that?
Speaker 3 (24:01):
I'm going to assume you want me to say me,
I don't think that reminds me of me. Well, I
had a big, splashy wedding, but I didn't have a
big splashy gift registry.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
But my wedding wasn't legal.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
I don't think I gained No, we did. Laura gave
you the rings, that's right. I don't think I gave
you a gift.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
No, you guys didn't give a gift as such.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Hang on on the day, but you Laura designed and
made and gave me my ring. Yes, absolutely, which was
like the most incredible gift.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Shout out to my wife, Laura and Tony May. I
didn't know though, that your wedding. I did think it
was a little bit strange, because can I just remind
people if they're not familiar with how things unfolded. There
was a joke that was made about you didn't have
a celebrant or they couldn't get a flight, and so
your dad had to step in last second.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Yeah, I mean that was always planned.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
So the giveaway should have been that my dad did
officiate my wedding.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
And my dad is not a celebrant. My dad is
a builder.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
So my wedding, by all accounts, it was in Bali.
It was big, it was beautiful, It was seemed like
a proper wedding. But and it was. But it wasn't legal,
but we treated it like it was legal. But we
didn't have a gift registry. I would never do a
gift registry.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
But there was like if.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Anyone wanted to leave something, of course they could have.
But Mattie Jay, what is this woman mad about? Just
the fact that they pretended it was a wedding, but
they didn't officially sign something.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Look pretty much. I'm going to read you the quote
here and it says rationally, I know it makes no
difference to my life whether they are legally married or not,
but I still feel sort of duped. And do you
know what, Britney.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Hockley, you feel duped to?
Speaker 2 (25:34):
I feel a little bit jooped here. I was tears
in my eyes at you and Ben tying they're not
And actually it wasn't a wedding at all.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
It was a wedding.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
It was just a fancy little get together with people
dressed in formal attire. I knew in a wedding.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Dress, three wedding dresses I did.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
I was thinking to myself, Oh they didn't. You didn't
have the moment if I now pronounce your husband and
what we did? I did?
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I did that produce a grace?
Speaker 2 (25:59):
You there?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Do you think it's still a wedding? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (26:03):
That was like the main part of the wedding when
they kissed and h whatnot. Yeah, that was like still
a wedding. Okay, well, actually what is you No? No, no, no,
hang on, because.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
We've been producer grace, we have been taken advantage of
let's let's call a spade a spade. Brittany conned, conned
everyone in attendance.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
I'm pretty sure that was a headline. Actually it was,
But I say I then went to the legal wedding
the next week.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
So I was like, this is fine.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
I reckon Maddie's offer because he didn't come to the
legal wedding because we did. We did lock it down
a week later, like it is legitimate. We are legitimately married,
and we didn't. We didn't try and trick people.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Did you receive any backlash from any guests after they
found out that you were No, Okay.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Absolutely not, because it's not It wasn't a party with
randoms with all my family and friends.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
No one's going to have backlash.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Just so I'm not like the only one here being outraged.
Producer Grace, can I ask, as you were in attended,
knowing that it was an illegal ceremony, did you in
any way feel taken advantage of the fact that you
paid all that money to fly to BALLEI have a
beautiful dress. You look great, by the way.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Thank you careful, Grace, because you I am paying for
the Christmas party tonight, so I was just happy.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
To be there.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
That is what a true friend would say. So, Maddie
j I'm so glad you didn't make it to my
legal wenning.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I was busy.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Maddie Jay is still with us, Scotts.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
I say that like you're going to pass away, don't
I he's holding on by a threat.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
He's terminal. It's not long now, it's not long.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
A couple of weeks, heh.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
I think, yeah, well the mood less than two weeks,
just to manage expectations because people may tune in and go,
hang on a second, where has he gone?
Speaker 8 (27:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
I am healthy, I'm happy.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
But do you we need to have a party to
celebrate that you're leaving.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Oh, that's a very good question. I think we should.
It would be remiss of us not to have some
type of an occasion to celebrate.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Well, this is going to bring me into exactly what
I want to talk about. There is an influencer and
I don't know if you've seen her online her she's
a Melbourne influencer. Her name is Adele Petropolis and she's
going viral at the moment for celebrating her wedding day
because she's the.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Picture of her. She's holding up a white cake.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
She's with all her friends, but on the cake is
written cheas don't get cake.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
She looks very happy, considering she's someone who's recently split. Yeah,
the wedding's not going ahead.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Well, so she didn't say a lot. That was all
she did was say celebrating her wedding. And the cake
says cheets don't get cakes. So she's obviously found out
her partner has cheated on her. She's been like, stuff you,
there's no way I'm marrying you. But you can't cancel
wedding days and get your money back. So she's had
the date still and just thrown like a celebration party.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
I think this is a great approach and Brittain, as
I've always said, you know me, I've said this quite
often at least once a day when life gives you lemons,
eat cake. Well, there it is, write it down, put
it on the shirt. I think it's great because you
could be sitting there all glum by yourself at home,
being like this should be the best of my life.
And you know what, I'm going to have a party.
(29:07):
I'm going to celebrate. I celebrate a very special occasion
which some people say could be sad, but for me,
I want to hear it. What is it's when I
got the snip.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
You haven't got the snip, or you want to I've.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Got the snip. Snip down there? Can I say? Circumcised?
Is that a lot of I thought you might have
to me that hasn't happened. No, I it was Feb
thirteen thirteen.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Didn't you get at an adult circumcision?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
I was. I was Grade one, So I celebrate that
every year Feb thirteen. It's a special occasion. Yep.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
And why did you get it so old?
Speaker 2 (29:42):
I was born. How do you say it's medically too
much foreskin?
Speaker 4 (29:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
It's like that is the medical term, like.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
A little red riding the.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Hood of my jumper was too big.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Okay, well let's well that was a segway.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Let's take it back to the story of like celebrating
these moments.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I love that you celebrate that, though.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Man psychologist Amanda Ferguson says that it is actually really
important to celebrate milestones in life, but not just the
good ones and the bad ones.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
And there's been a real trend in divorce parties.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
I don't know if you've seen that people are trying
to turn the tables.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
I'm not sad that I'm divorcing, Like, let's celebrate this.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Whenever I think of the word divorce, I think of
that image of Nicole Kidman and I don't know if
that's real, but it's when she's skipping down the road
she's just divorced from Tom Cruise and she just has
pure elation on her face.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
I reckon that was probably a scene out of a
movie that they've taken and click baited it and said
that that was like after she just signed the or's papers.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I want to believe it's real because that must feel
so good when you can just relinquish the shackles, you're free.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I don't have anything sad that I celebrate.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Actually, I know Producer Grace's parents that want to have
a divorce party.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Yeah, they're still technically married. They've been separated for fifteen years.
They haven't gotten around to doing the paperwork, but they
plan on having a divorce party when it happened.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Do you think there's like a limit on how long
you should be separated for when you get your divorce.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Well, you know it costs like fifteen hundred dollars or something.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
To get divorced and there's a lot of money, does it.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Yeah, They're like, well, it's it's not really affecting our
lives in any way whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
They had a very amicable split obviously. Well, I mean
evidently if they're still friends fifteen years later.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Yeah, it is Thursday, which means it's time for the
one and only Ask gun Cut.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
I love ask gun Cut and Britt. You know, since
I've started doing this radio show, I get so many
people coming up to me in the street just going
thank you, thank you for all the wisdom that you
offer the people on your show, Oprah, they call me.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
That's what I'm like, I'm just going to stop your
idea because no one's ever said that to you. Because
your advice to date has always been quite controversial.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Friends of mine have always come to me with their problems. Okay.
That's just the type of person that I am. I'm
very open and very warm. I'm always keen to listen.
And one friend in particular came to me and I
had to stop in my wait, whoa, whoa. I was like,
how would you feel about talking about this on the
radio show? And he said, sure, this is a voice, Brittany.
(32:09):
You may know him.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
You have met him before, You've sourced our ask gun cutters.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Yeah, he's been there marinetting for a few days now.
I said, gotta wait till Thursday. I can't help you
until Thursday. It's a Tuesday. Just hold your horses. But
his name is Ashwicks. Can do a podcast called two
Letting Dads, And here he is.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Oh hi Ash, Hello, guys, how are you are?
Speaker 3 (32:29):
You actually experience some problems and he's Matt really the
first person you go to.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
Oh.
Speaker 9 (32:34):
Absolutely, he's the voice of reason. So I'm actually I
feel very privileged to be on the show this afternoon,
because everyone's got a lot of questions around this time
of year. And I'm so thankful that Matt said to me,
don't ask me any questions until I get you on.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
The radio on national radio. Okay, So what's what is
your problem?
Speaker 6 (32:53):
I'm going to call it a grup. Okay, it's a problem.
It's a grip.
Speaker 9 (32:56):
So every year, my beautiful wife, for April her family
do a secret center. Yeah, but this year I asked
the question whether I can be not involved, or whether
I have a choice to be involved, or it's just
mandatory because I'm married to her.
Speaker 6 (33:12):
That's my dilemma.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Yeah, okay, your question is just do you have to.
Speaker 6 (33:16):
Do the Chris Kring or I have to do it?
I do it every year. I've had enough.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Okay? Can I ask Ash? How does it normally unfold?
Like what time of the day do they say now
it's time for Secret Center?
Speaker 9 (33:28):
It varies from year to year because as we know,
like you know, there's more than one family involved in this.
So it's like, do we have Christmas lunch there, Christmas breakfast,
Christmas dinner? I don't know so, but it usually happens.
I would say, after the food, but before the sweet tree.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
So can I just confirm the logistics here?
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Ash?
Speaker 3 (33:48):
So regardless of it, if you are involved in the
Secret Center, you're there anyway. So you're not saying like, hey,
I don't want to go to the Christmas like are you?
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Are you all there anyway? You're just saying I just
don't want to contribute the present and I don't want
to get one. Is that right?
Speaker 9 (34:01):
I'm there, but I'm protesting, mate, you are being a grin.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Sorry, hang on, hang on, Brittany, just before you start
attacking our guests. Ash, I apologize for that.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
He's also a friend.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
She gets she gets very aggressive when we do this segment,
So just be mindful of that.
Speaker 6 (34:16):
I kind of like that.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Can I ask Ash before we make our final call?
What is the ballpark price that you have to work
within the budget for the gift?
Speaker 5 (34:27):
Ah?
Speaker 6 (34:27):
Look, it's usually one hundred dollars?
Speaker 1 (34:30):
What sorry, But what that means is you're only buying one.
You're actually saving money.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
You don't have to buy ten people's presents by eight
people's how many people it is. It's Ash, You're already there.
It's one day a year. Just get involved.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Get involved so the kids can see it's all merry
and happy. It's not a big deal.
Speaker 6 (34:47):
It's all very awkward. Bud, I don't know. Look, I've
always found Christmas very awkward.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
But no one knows it's you because it's a secret.
So no one knows that if your present was awkward.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
But is it a secret?
Speaker 9 (35:00):
I feel like by the time you get to the
Christmas day, everyone already knows who has to one. In
a small family, why can't we just get together, have
a meal, celebrate the day, and move on with our lives.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Look, ideally that could be great, but the rest of
the family has committed to the Chris Kringle.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Can I ask a question just to everyone right now, yourself,
Brittany Ash, you're included in this. Does anyone out there
actually enjoy secret Center?
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Okay, all right?
Speaker 3 (35:27):
And producer grace is not in Well, we know you
don't grinchy, but produce a Grace is not in USh.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Just know this. I will be down the coast and
if you would like to spend the day with me
and my family, you're more than welcome. We will not
do secret sound out. The imitation is there, guys.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
It's once a year. Thank goodness, it's once a year.
Get involved. Put your little sander hat on. If you're
just being lazy, Ash, get a vouch, I you can
get them on.
Speaker 6 (35:50):
I'm not being lazy at all.
Speaker 9 (35:52):
I'll have you know it that as a child, we
did not have a Christmas tree in my house.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Well, that's more reason for you to get involved.
Speaker 6 (35:58):
No, I'm very sading.
Speaker 9 (36:00):
Ways, I have endured it for fourteen long years now,
and on this fifteenth year, I would like to say
I don't want to be involved, but apparently I don't.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Have a choice, and so your wife has said literally
like use it or lose it.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
She's like, you're in it.
Speaker 9 (36:16):
Yeah, the repercussions aren't worth the fight, I would say,
but I still I'm stubborn and I want to try
and stand my ground in some capacity.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
It's a fight you're not going to win.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
So I pray you as you stay strong. Buddy. I'm
in your corner. I'm cheering you on.
Speaker 8 (36:29):
Guys than I can always rely on you, all right,
someone hang up on Ash, please, we love your I
just think get involved.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
It's one day a year's not a big deal. Makes
them feel a bit special.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
I just wanted to just like send him down that road.
Just if you do it, he will do it.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
I reckon he's going to turn up with no present.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
I reckon he will. He listens to everything I say.
That's the great thing about Ash.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
It's concerning Kanada.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
