With these two together, anything can happen.

Speaker 4 (00:22):
You'll gain you chance.

Speaker 5 (00:24):
This is Hailey and Max in the Morning.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Hate that number one for fun, so much fun.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
It's fun face because I get it.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Hate that I don't want to find and do it.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Let's go today, Hailey Peters and Max Perfect. Good morning.

Speaker 6 (00:46):
I yah, I have just discovered something so cool.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
That I bet you didn't know about.

Speaker 7 (00:54):
Okay, on your iPhone?

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Did you know that you can text someone later?

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:02):
Sorry, I mean for the purposes of your excitement.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
I had no idea.

Speaker 7 (01:04):
How do you do it?

Speaker 3 (01:06):
How long have you known this for? Only just but yesterday.

Speaker 7 (01:09):
They put it in one of the last two or
through updates?

Speaker 6 (01:11):
Oh yeah, but no, but you don't know everything that's
in an update. I like to read it, Okay, if
you don't, Oh you would do that, wouldn't.

Speaker 7 (01:17):
You don't want to know what cool things you're getting?

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Nah, I just go on my phone. That's the same.

Speaker 7 (01:21):
I'll work it out eventually. I hope there's a new emoji.

Speaker 6 (01:23):
So I know this because my friend messages me in
the morning and I realize that she actually sets at
the day before. So basically, you get your phone, you
do a text message, you do a little class, and
then you write the text message and you press send
later and you can like text your future self to
remind yourself to get the food out of the fridge
or change your dampon.

Speaker 7 (01:44):
You could do that, I find yourself anything.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
I think the more practical applications would be if you
like us, and if you're listening right now, maybe you've
woken up before all your mates and you don't want
to disturb it, but you want to send a message,
so you can send it now, and say just send
it seven thirty.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
I'm gonna send you a message tonight at ten pm.

Speaker 7 (01:59):
I did that obviously.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
I know you're gonna get a notification Max, and I'm
just gonna go, Hi, there we go. It's that's gonna
happen at ten ten pm to that's really good think
of me my past self messaging. Isn't that cool?

Speaker 7 (02:12):
Obviously?

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Do you look at your updates?

Speaker 6 (02:14):
I didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
I don't even update. I don't even know what version
I've got.

Speaker 7 (02:18):
Don't you want the latest and greatest, but don't.

Speaker 6 (02:21):
It doesn't tell you where do you find this manual
that says all the new.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Things when you push when your iPhone downloads an update.
I honestly think that there are in that setting thing
which comes up, it'll be like install now, and then
maybe literally the thing under it.

Speaker 7 (02:36):
Will be like not it is on what it is?

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Who reads very short?

Speaker 2 (02:44):
What are the other features then of the latest updates?

Speaker 7 (02:46):
Yeah, come on, I'll get off of you. Look at you.
Let's gang up on him because he read I.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Want to know what I'm missing out?

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Just throws things in there like updated security and bugs
which is boring, updated the new emoji because someone complained
that we didn't have enough spring onions in there, and
all this sort of cap and then you get one
cool thing every now and then like that, Yeah, so cool.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
Anyway, we're gonna use that all the time.

Speaker 7 (03:10):
Now, great, Thanks Dailey, A lax is one note.

Speaker 2 (03:15):

Speaker 8 (03:57):
No, I'm just starting.

Speaker 9 (03:59):
I'm just driving in starting.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
What's it like knowing that you're about to go in
there and you know, help change people's lives, but also
work way too hard.

Speaker 10 (04:13):
It's one of those mixed things, isn't it really?

Speaker 7 (04:15):
Yeah, yeah, but that's you aim.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
At the end of the day, you know you're going
to work hard.

Speaker 11 (04:18):
But like if you have good interactions with your patients
and they go like I remember you when they wake
up and said you're like, oh yeah, good, I.

give us a little biki and he goes, here's a
bickie and a mile load.

Speaker 11 (04:33):
I'm like, I love ye chocolate.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
You've got to be nicety nurses because they're the ones
that can control whether or not you get that extra
bikie or not.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
I love going under just the chicken sandwich when you
wake home.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Hey, hey, Max, I picked up somebody from Channel ten
yeares today.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Mate. Who was it? I picked up your weather reporter?

Speaker 7 (06:56):
Oh was it?

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Well? I mean the actual one is Tif who's reading
the news, but it could also been Josh who's reading
the news at the moment.

Speaker 7 (07:03):
Who's doing the weather at the moment?

Speaker 2 (07:05):
One lovely weather report?

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Okay, Maxie doesn't know who it is.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
We have three God on the one we it's either Josh,
Tiff or Jess. Can't give one of them.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
Oh God, you're not supposed to spell the beans on
that sub job.

Speaker 7 (07:21):
That's a sacred joy. Love you.

Speaker 6 (07:25):
Isabella, our producer, has moved from Sydney this year and
she's struggling to make friends.

Speaker 12 (07:30):
Eight months in to my moving to Adelaide and like
it's already a problem around, Like, you know, making friends
as an adult is really really tough, and finding Adelaide
is so clicky.

Speaker 7 (07:40):
Yeah, I'm really really struggling.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
You've said to us, guys, everyone that I try to
make friends with is already pretty much sorted for mate.

Speaker 7 (07:48):
They've got their little.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
Clicks, and you know what, Sadly, that's the beautiful thing
about Adelaide. It is a clicky thing.

Speaker 6 (07:53):
But it's not to say you can't get into our clicks.
We're very accepting and welcoming and we will happily make
new friends. But you've got multiple clicks going on with
school friends.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
That's a big deal. In Adelaide.

Speaker 6 (08:04):
Everyone always goes what's going to go to because you're
still friends with you schol friends. You've got the mom clicks,
the soccer mum clicks at the sporting mum clicks, you've
got your work mate clicks. Everyone's got really good, solid
friendship groups.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
So what's it like for you, Bella, what are your
methods for making mates? And you're running into this roadblock.

Speaker 12 (08:19):
Well, what I'm finding is everyone's like, well, you're from Sydney,
you know, like Sydney is so like not friendly.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
It's really tough.

Speaker 12 (08:26):
What I'm finding is Sydney is not friendly, but very
very welcoming. So as soon as like they established going, oh,
you're like, you're a sane, normal person one dred percent
like we're going to bring you into our group.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
What I'm finding with Adelaide very very friendly. Less on
the side of welcoming. We are a very clique city.

Speaker 7 (08:43):
I reckon they're a ways in.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
I want to ask Maggie, you've been in Adelaide forever.

Speaker 9 (08:47):
We are cliquie, particularly at school, and I'm on my
second child, so by that stage I just can't be
bothered with I totally.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
They made some great connections.

Speaker 12 (08:54):
With my first child's you know, it's not those and
I probably don't need anyone.

Speaker 7 (08:58):
You know what it sounds like, you don't want to
be made for me.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Some of them that's best mates are people that they
only met when I moved schools.

Speaker 6 (09:04):
In your fight, it's not that it's sometimes the clickiness
of moms can be just as bitchy as yees school.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
It really is all right, We're gonna do some speed mating.

Speaker 7 (09:14):
It's like speed dating, but it's for mates.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Contestants number one, Emily in Port Wa, Langas, would you
please make your pitch.

Speaker 8 (09:21):
I'm twenty two years old.

you want to go somewhere, nic I'm.

Speaker 1 (09:26):

me jump in with one. Once you go to a
karaoke song to finish.

mate me.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Okay, fella thoughts, fella thoughts.

Speaker 12 (09:41):
She sounds really really nice. No, I like, I really
really like that she opens that that she's a food
and willing to try new things. Yeah, because there is
nothing worse than going out for lunch or something with
someone that refuses, like really picky eaters.

He's just joking. Oh, he's sounded since here. Maybe I
love it that he you know what he's doing. He's
looking for an invite the wedding one hundred.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
And he's realizing that maybe the Kelsey is a fine
with him and he just needs to be nice to
the Swift family for a bit.

Speaker 6 (18:26):
Now, just if you do love Taylor Swift, Max knows
every single thing about their love story. So at ten
plus seven today, he's gonna Taylor's with the most incredible
love story of.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
All time from start to finish, because it is actually
a really good love show.

Speaker 6 (18:40):
It starts with, yeah, him being obsessed with her anyway,
I'll make it interesting for you even if you don't
like Taylor.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
Do you know what's not interesting. That's Megan Markles Netflix show.

Speaker 7 (18:47):
Yeah, that's a great segue.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
Thanks, we love you. Ever heard anyone say to you,
I can't wait for the new season of With Love Megan?

Speaker 3 (18:56):
Nobody has ever said that.

Speaker 6 (18:57):
She's now said that she hates baking, even though that's
the whole premise of her shot, doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
She also admits to using store bought pre made her
rest what, I don't enjoy baking because it is so measured.
But it's a little bit like directional. And then the
rest is you just use your intuition.

Speaker 15 (19:17):
What I love the idea of being able to rethink
baking to be just a little more spontaneous. We're gonna
use pre made good puff pastry as opposed to making
our dough from a scratch.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
It's like she's actually trying to get us to hate
her more.

Speaker 6 (19:31):
Yeah, if we found out that she was a comedian afterwards,
I'd go, well done.

Speaker 3 (19:35):
I love her again.

Speaker 6 (19:36):
Yeah, you've done a bit because it's yeah anyway, I
can't wait to.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
See her bake some salurdays Chrissy tag in the season
We've Love Megan out to that.

Speaker 6 (19:45):
Oh, let's go home watch it now speaking of Netflix, Yeah,
this is really crap.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
We're all woken up to an email.

Speaker 6 (19:52):
If you're part of Netflix, they've raised their subscription prices
yet again, this is ridiculous. So the price of their
cheapest and add support a plan will raise from seven
dollars and nine nine cents to nine ninety nine.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
That's okay, that's funny.

Speaker 7 (20:08):
Four bucks more year.

Speaker 6 (20:09):
The standard plan without ads goes from eighteen ninety nine
to twenty nine nine.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
They just raise it by a few bucks.

Speaker 6 (20:14):
And if you're on, you know, if your premium, living
large and on your premium, it's going to twenty eight
dollars and ninety nine cents when just so for comparison,
when Netflix first launched, the Santa plan was eight dollars
a nice nine sets.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
I love how they do the ninety nine because it
sounds so much less than nine dollars.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
It's way nice from it. You know why it's costing
Netflix more? Why because they have to pay Meigan Markele.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
Oh so true.

Speaker 7 (20:36):
So you make sure it's her fault.

Speaker 3 (20:38):
I hate her even more.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
Make sure today everyone out there you go home and
you hate watch the throw my sour doll at the TV.

Speaker 7 (20:49):
She's done it.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
I was engaged. This is a huge morning for everyone,
A massive morning.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
It's actually a.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Massive you know, this is almost the biggest morning for
I mean the Swifties.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
It's huge.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
It's a big morning for blokes in their late twenties
who have had a serious partner for a while, who's
been desperate to get engaged. Because the spotlight is on you. Yeah,
all right, let's do it. Let's break it down. I'm
happy to be the residence Swifty on this on this program.
I went and saw her last year. I loved it
at a brilliant time, and ever since then, I've decided

(21:22):
I quite like Taylor Swift. I always liked Travis Kelsey.
I want to talk you through their love story because
it is interesting.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
Okay, tell me I love a good love story.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
The way that this started is that Travis has his
podcast with his brother, and on the podcast is two
years ago, he goes, I actually really want to meet
Taylor Swift.

Speaker 7 (21:39):
She seems like a decent girl. And this is innocent. Yeah,
two years ago, she seems like a decent girl.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
So Taylor is coming to Kansas City, which is where
he plays football, to play a concert at Arrowhead Stadium.
He rocks up to the concert with like eighty thousand people,
and he's got a friendship bracelet on because they all
have those friendship bracelets that.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
The Travis make a friendship bracelet.

Speaker 7 (22:02):
And his beads are his phone number.

Speaker 3 (22:05):
Oh my god, that's so cute.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
I've got goosemarm so he expecting because he's Travis Kelsey,
I can just find my way to Taylor Swift, the
most famous pop star on the planet, and give her
my phone number.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
As it turns out, even though he is a big
deal in that stadium and every other Sunday, he is
the second biggest name that walks in there, not on
the day that Taylor Swift p you can't walk up
to the usual elevator attendant, which he had expected, and said, Hey,
can I just duck down to backstage.

Speaker 7 (22:34):
I want to give Taylor this bracelet.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
The elevator attendant was like, no, sorry, not today, mate,
Oh no, any other day you can.

Speaker 4 (22:41):
But he got turned out.

Speaker 7 (22:42):
Taylor Swift day, Yeah, so he got turned out.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
He didn't get let in as little lighthearted winge about
it on the podcast. I had his friendship bracelet, Yeah
he did, so that clip Benket's getting sent to Taylor Swift.
All of her friends, all of her family are sending
it to her, saying, this dude that's saying, in his
own words, I'm a bit butt hurt that I didn't
get to meet Taylor Swift. Yeah, because he's a big
dumb football man. He is actually not a bad guy,

(23:07):
and everyone knows him like he worked hard, he's really generous.
He's actually quite a kind man for a big, big
football guy. So she goes, hang on a second, I've
actually got a bloke chasing after me, which is pretty
much what I've sung about for twenty years, and he
seems to be quite nice. Why wouldn't I want to
meet up with him? So this, I mean, the great

(23:30):
American love story, isn't it? The football player in the
pop start. Two months later, she takes him up on
his offer to go watch him work rocks up to
the corporate box at a Kansas City Chiefs game.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
My god, he had been so nervous.

Speaker 7 (23:40):
Yeah, with Travis's mum watches on. They're not dating at
this point.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
Has she even met him yet?

Speaker 14 (23:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (23:45):
I think that they maybe have just met once or
twice Away from that, Oh, my god, and from that's
two years ago. From then, a month later they spotted
at Saturday Night Live together. They went to the after
party together. A month after that, she does that line
on stage in Argentina where she says, Karma is the
guy and the chiefs.

Speaker 7 (24:01):
Coming straight home to me. And everybody's like, oh my god.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
They're actually together now and they're dating and then two
years later they're engaged.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
Is such a cool story. Yeah, I love it. I
love the ring. I love that.

Speaker 6 (24:13):
I think he's really funny as well and happy. Gilmour
I was like, oh, you can act too.

Speaker 7 (24:18):
Yeah, he is too serious.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
No, and she's thirty five.

Speaker 6 (24:22):
She's ready so many times before. Sometimes when you meet
someone a bit older, it's the right thing.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
I saw someone right online this morning that it's nice
to see that she finally settled down with a man
that she can't share jeans with. All of her previous
boyfriends were real, like skinny, weedy guy popstars.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
Yeah, he is not weedy at all, not at all.

Speaker 7 (24:44):
So they'll be pregnant within two years.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
I'm certain of that. No, she won't.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
I reckon now, she'll put it off.

Speaker 7 (24:49):
One hundred percent of swift.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
No, she's got too many concerts in.

Speaker 7 (24:52):
Her I'll bet you right now, you reckon, they'll be
pregnant within two years.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
Okay, Emily and micgul thirty one O two three, you've called,
you're excited about this news?

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Five?

Speaker 11 (25:01):
Literally, just wake it up.

Speaker 8 (25:03):
I've turned on the radio.

Speaker 7 (25:05):
That's what I do when I first wake up.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
I listened to you guys.

Speaker 7 (25:07):
Can't start my more want.

Speaker 11 (25:09):
Oh my god, she is engaged.

Speaker 5 (25:11):
There they are.

Speaker 10 (25:12):
I am so heavily emotionally invested in this relationship. It's
honestly irrational.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
Why Emily, why are you so invested? I love it,
but why are you invested in it?

Speaker 16 (25:21):
I don't know, because I just feel that she has
just given so much to so many people, you know, intellectually,
emotionally with her music, so many people can resonate, relate.

Speaker 17 (25:32):
She helps people through her art, which is music.

Speaker 8 (25:35):
And I just feel that she deserves the utmost happiness.

Speaker 10 (25:40):
And I just feel, really I've literally got so good.

Speaker 8 (25:47):
Oh my god, I just I'm.

Speaker 11 (25:49):
So happy for her.

Speaker 16 (25:50):
And I just feel they are such public people because
of both of their career careers, and then I and
then Hailey.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
Yes they are nice.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
Correct, Emily, you know what, take the day off, celebrate
you've earned it.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
Engaged then, thank you very much for that mission.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Thank you Emily, and for everyone out there who's single.
If it can happen to a billionaire pop star and
very famous footballer, so it can probably happen for you
to get out there and chase it.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
Today, guys, guys.

Speaker 5 (26:23):
May ask world famous fall.

Speaker 7 (26:33):
You got to answer the question truthfully.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
Those are the rules. I'm asking Hailey Pierson a question
in the Wall of Truth today. Hailey, you angel who
never does anything wrong? You know that I do all
the time, angel who sometimes does things wrong. My question
for you today, have you ever abused a returns.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
Policy when you buy something and then you take a
back yep?

Speaker 1 (26:58):
How each store has got their own individual returns policy.
Have you ever taken advantage of one of those stores
and abuse to that policy?

Speaker 3 (27:07):
Well, I would say at I used to.

Speaker 6 (27:13):
When I was a Uni student and my best friend
worked at a retail shop. We would go out every Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

Speaker 7 (27:21):
Night absolutely rocket electric circus.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
Have luck exchange.

Speaker 6 (27:27):
And then see the thing is, you have to wear
something new every night, and you're a Uni student. I'm
earning no money whatsoever.

Speaker 7 (27:34):
Super dresses only cost twenty fives.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
I wasn't a super breakout. Okay, No, I was a
lot more classy at that stage. Now I'm a super breakout.

Speaker 7 (27:43):
Was the retail store, It.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
Just doesn't matter.

Speaker 6 (27:46):
She worked at the retail store, and I would go
in with my other friends that we would all go
out together. We would go and buy dresses and then
we my friend that worked there would take the tag
off like a professional wood the little plastic in s
and the tag, so I would go out I wouldn't
have to wear a tag.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
And then the next day she working on say a Sunday,
we would go in there and go, hey, here you go,
and we would Obviously I wouldn't do it if I
had any any little hinge of BeO, like, I would
never do that. But I couldn't. Like it was great
because we would go and wear a dress. And then

(28:28):
it's like you would rent the dress, but you would
rent it for free. Feel bad about that, yeah, because
I never do that. Now, that's just I would never
ever do that.

Speaker 7 (28:36):
Did you ever ruin any of the dresses?

Speaker 18 (28:41):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (28:42):
Okay, he's another one. I got address altered, wore it
to an event and then returned to it. I was
holded to my body and no one knew.

Speaker 7 (28:53):
Someone sold it.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
Yeah, I got it in. I got to take it
in and then I was like, I.

Speaker 7 (28:57):
Don't want this anymore, and then I returned it.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
Yeah, that's another time I did that. That was a
few years later. So we've all been there. You're saying, you,
I have.

Speaker 7 (29:08):
Never worn close taking a tag off and then returned it.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
People do.

Speaker 6 (29:13):
Yeah, if you're out and you see you know, you
have a pat on the back of one of your friends,
look at the mahagan, you can.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
Feel the tag. You go, I know what you're doing tomorrow.
You're taking that back still getting a RecA so bad. Yeah,
but if it's still if it doesn't smell.

Speaker 7 (29:28):
Or anything, Haley, what if you went to buy clothes
the next day.

Speaker 6 (29:31):
And you I smell my clothes for that reason because
I know straight away someone's warner.

Speaker 3 (29:36):
Before and I'm not stupid enough to buy it to
come out of clothing. You're a bad person. Was a
bad person. I'm not a bad person anymore. I wouldn't
do that now.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
It took you, or it took me one question for
you to be like, oh. Then there was also this time.
Actually a little bit later, I had a dress taken
in a dress. It could be one from last week,
but we don't know, No, I haven't.

Speaker 4 (29:55):
No.

Speaker 6 (29:56):
I will probably remember that tomorrow, all right, can we
put it out there just to show?

Speaker 3 (29:59):
Max said, I'm not the only one.

Speaker 7 (30:01):
I didn't think that people actually did this. I thought
it was straight out of the movies.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
People do abuse return policies all the time.

Speaker 7 (30:08):
Okay, thirday one, O two three? Have you ever abused
the returns policy?

Speaker 2 (30:12):
How'd you do it?

Speaker 1 (30:14):
It's the wall of truth at the moment, though, Haley Pierson,
have you ever abused a returns policy?

Speaker 7 (30:19):
Turns out yes, multiple times.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
Yeah, a few times when I was like back in
the day, I wouldn't do it now.

Speaker 6 (30:24):
But you do it when you're like you really want
that dress, You wear it at you look after it,
you make sure it doesn't smell, and then you take
it back the next day. I get your money back
and buy something else.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
Haley also revealed she has bought a dress, had it
taken in professionally tailored, and then returned to the dress
after wearing it out to be fair.

Speaker 6 (30:42):
When I returned it, I forgot that I had got
it taken in and then it landed it and they
I got my money back and no questions asked.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
I'm not a big returns policy abuse it. It turns
out a lot of y'all are on Thurday one, O
two three.

Speaker 3 (30:54):
And Nastasia in Morson Lakes. You've done this before?

Speaker 9 (30:58):
Good morning?

Speaker 2 (30:59):
How are you Max?

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yes?

Speaker 12 (31:00):
I have.

Speaker 7 (31:01):
What happened?

Speaker 8 (31:02):
I worked in a high end fashion shop back in
the day, and every Thursday night to bring the girls
in after work and put the music on, have a
couple of glasses of wine or whatever, try on the
outfits we wanted for the weekend, take them home Monday,
I'd go back to work and if they were damage,
I'd put them on the clearance. If they won't, I'll
put them back the cells. And we did that for

(31:24):
like good two three years, so we never will never
had to buy an outfit.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
Yes, you said, hi, and I don't expect you to
tell us which one, although you're welcome to.

Speaker 7 (31:33):
But how excitensive were we talking for the clothes here?

Speaker 8 (31:36):
Oh, let's say between the cheapest would have been sitting
at about one hundred and twenty back in the day.

Speaker 7 (31:42):
Yeah, Okay, two years taut. They that's not souper anymore.
We're not a sports girl anymore.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
No, I love it.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
All right, Well, there's there's another baseline for us that's
a little bit more expensive than Hayley's.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
Chloe and mitcham, what's your story?

Speaker 4 (31:59):
Hello?

Speaker 17 (32:01):
Mine was from the other side of the counter as
the employee. One time I sold a pair of beavers
to a high school.

Speaker 11 (32:09):
Mean girl, let's call her Katie.

Speaker 17 (32:11):
And later that day Katie came back to return the
favors that she brought from me, but she obviously didn't
listen to the return policy. I had to give them
back to her because there was a very funky brown
stain on the beginning bottom. And I felt like I
got my revenge.

Speaker 6 (32:29):
Oh my god, did you say that in front of
everybody as well? Because that is unbelievable revenge right there?

Speaker 12 (32:34):
It was?

Speaker 8 (32:34):
It was great.

Speaker 12 (32:35):
Oh.

Speaker 17 (32:36):
I'm not really a mean person, but I feel like
seeing the way that she looked.

Speaker 10 (32:40):
At me, it was great.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
Oh, keeping in mind everyone's eating breakfast at the moment,
and where g rated the funky brown I don't go there.

Speaker 7 (32:50):
I think it was from the back of the front.

Speaker 3 (32:52):
It doesn't matter, no, all right, let's close. Thank you
so much for calling. That's a really gross question to ask.

Speaker 6 (32:59):
Anyway, I'll tell you all fair what it would be
Zoey in prospect.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
Good morning though, Hi, Okay, can you up for that?
Because that was pretty fair.

Speaker 11 (33:10):
My old neighbor, she used to always get new quilts,
and I never really understood, like why you keep buying
more quilts? And then one day she sleeps up and
she goes, oh, so I go buy winter quilts. And
then I just returned them and tell them I went
overseas and never use them. So I just gently fold
them and just put them back in the bag and
they don't even know, and I keep their receipts and

(33:31):
I just give them back. And I didn't question it
because I was like that that is so someone's talking
around with a used quilt.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
So quilt.

Speaker 11 (33:41):
I've always tried queens because I can never forget.

Speaker 7 (33:45):
What she said and it's just sorry, was it like
months and months of use?

Speaker 11 (33:51):
It was like the whole winter, so three four, five
months of mo and then judge, I definitely judged that
it was disgusting, like you don't do that.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
That's tough to be, that's very have to beat I
don't think we can make that. We could try daday
one I two three k M calls coming next.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
Someone on the other side of the returns counter. Fifteen
years dealing with these people.

Speaker 7 (34:22):
Hell, what have they seen returning from Normandy in World
War Two?

Speaker 2 (34:26):
Let's come back over the count. We'll hear those incredible
stories next.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
All right, have you ever abused a returns policy?

Speaker 6 (34:33):
That's what Max asked me in the Wall of Truth,
And obviously I had to tell the truth. And yeah,
are used to all the time when my friend worked
in retail, and we would all go in there on
a probably a Thursday during the day, get our out.
It's for Thursday night, Saturday night and Sunday night, and
then we would wear them and then she'd be working
the next week and we'd go in and she'd return them.

Speaker 7 (34:52):
She'd put all the tags back on properly.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
Before we get to our very last course, someone who
works in returns and has worked in returns for years,
Ryan burgas in the studio, you used to work in retail,
and you've just come up with an absolute corker.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
I just remembered this. Yeah, so I worked in an
appliance store. Someone came in and bought a smeg kettle.
And those things are worth like two hundred and fifty bars, right,
so pretty those kettle, Yeah, they're beautiful. Someone came in
and bought that, had the box and everything. Then they
come back a few days later with the box and go, actually,
I don't want this or whatever, and they we accept
it back. And it wasn't until after that gone and
got their money back that we realized they had put

(35:27):
an ancho kettle.

Speaker 6 (35:29):
In the box, which means they obviously already have a
kettle there as well because they.

Speaker 7 (35:34):
Had the box. I just decided that the snake might
be a little bit nicer than the anchor.

Speaker 3 (35:38):
That is funny.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
Do you chase them down? No, we just left it.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
Yeah, the g's fallen off my smag kettle. It's just smack.

Speaker 7 (35:45):
SME's got a smeck kettle.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
Beth in Mount Barker, you are our final caller on this,
because Beth, you are the authority. You are someone who
works on the other side as the person on the
returns counter. Please tell us some of the stuff you've
seen over the years.

Speaker 18 (36:02):
Oh, we've had, you know, the usual things like come
choos that have been worn and clothes that have been
worn and you know, have stains on them, makeup on
them all, but I haven't worn it.

Speaker 10 (36:14):
One of the worst things, though, that we've ever had,
is a microwave that came back that wasn't working, and
when we picked it up off the counter, there was
a noise inside and we had a look because there
was still a full dinner in there.

Speaker 7 (36:27):
That's going to reheat their meal.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
Were they trying to prove a point like, look, my
dinner didn't cook.

Speaker 10 (36:33):
Oh, I don't know. That just slipped their mind and
they got agro because they couldn't ringeat dinner and just
picked it up and hold it back, but.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
Mic with food in it like a full meal.

Speaker 10 (36:44):
Yeah, you know, we've had things that are covered in
dog hair, and we've had lawn mowers returns that are.

Speaker 3 (36:50):
Full of petrol and they lawn mowers.

Speaker 10 (36:55):
Yeah, we sold lawn mowers a while back, and yeah
they've they've been brought back with petrol still, which is
a clear breach of our policy.

Speaker 7 (37:03):
And is the person saying, no, I haven't used this.

Speaker 10 (37:07):
Oh, sometimes they do. So they will, honestly, they will
try absolutely everything. Oh I never wore this top, even
though it was covered in dog hair.

Speaker 6 (37:15):
Okay, so you there, are you like full angry Beth?
Will you say no, no, no, this has definitely been used.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
You're not return I.

Speaker 10 (37:22):
Will be nice to start with, but if they want
to persist, then obviously they can speak to somebody that's
higher up, because I'm not getting paid to deal with
that kind of rubbish. But I mean, we have people
that they'll come in and they'll try with us and
we'll say no, and then they'll try another staff member
and they'll say no. We had somebody last week that
tried six different people and you've got the answer. Every

(37:43):
time you go.

Speaker 3 (37:44):
To those someone will always cave.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
That makes for great breakroom chat. Bet before we let
you go there, any are there any tips of people
like Kaylee who love to do this stuff, who have
previously loved to do it.

Speaker 10 (37:56):
Look, if you try to do it where I work,
I wish he's the very best of life. Yes, we
are pretty harsh because, as you should be with we've
seen so much that we're quite clicked onto it now
and have a good look at everything before we say
yes or no.

Speaker 7 (38:16):
Brilliant.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
Well, if you're out there looking to return anything today
and you see your Beth on the counter.

Speaker 7 (38:20):
Just turn around. It's not going to work for you.
She's the Queen of return.

Speaker 3 (38:59):
So there are sixty seconds.

Speaker 6 (39:00):
You've got ten questions you we have to accept your
first answer and if you want to pass, that's okay,
but we'll come back.

Speaker 3 (39:06):
To that question at the end.

Speaker 1 (39:08):
All right, Anastasia, let's get this. Your Money Minute starts now.
What is the main postal service in Australia called Australia Post?

Speaker 7 (39:19):
What date is Halloween thirty first of October?

Speaker 1 (39:23):
A blondie typically refers typically features what type of chocolate

Speaker 10 (39:39):
Where the dolphins?

Speaker 2 (39:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (39:40):
What Adelaide River?

Speaker 7 (39:41):
What one flows around Adelaide that's got dolphins living in it?

Speaker 3 (39:44):
It's not the Torrents.

Speaker 11 (39:46):
Oh yeah, I was going to say that, but let's
not say that.

Speaker 10 (39:51):
Is it Port River?

Speaker 7 (39:52):
How old is Kim Kardashian's daughter Northwest?

Speaker 11 (39:56):
M Oh, I don't keep up with Padassians.

Speaker 7 (40:19):
This every day you'd know, like I'm going to pass,
I'm going to get through things.

Speaker 17 (40:22):
I forget carry underwood.

Speaker 3 (40:25):
That is a great guess.

Speaker 10 (40:26):
I love country, but I don't normally do female country.

Speaker 3 (40:31):
It's Dolly.

Speaker 1 (40:32):
It's Dolly and a big old farm bags. They and
they are both of those. Let's go through the ones
you got right.

Speaker 6 (40:44):
Name the postal service in Australia Australian posts. Yes, and
a bit of hot water at the moment? What dated
Halloween thirty first of October? A blondie has white chocolate?

Speaker 3 (40:54):
Yes? The Port River have dolphins. Kim Kardashian's daughter is twelve?

Speaker 7 (40:59):
Yeah, you said twelve done. We scept that that's all
you got.

Speaker 6 (41:04):
That's okay, Alisa and Messandra, they were on the block.

Speaker 10 (41:09):
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 7 (41:10):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
And we didn't even get to the other questions. So
I'm going to save them for tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
Yeah yeah, Dolly partner Country, Hey, not bad Anastagia, your
first time you're in the arena. You've lived up the
pressure sort of. You got fifty bucks beautiful. Yeah, better
than a kick in the teeth on a Wednesday morning.
Enjoy will play again tomorrow morning.

Speaker 7 (41:29):
Thank you.

Speaker 6 (41:31):
I want to talk about solo moms and that they
are on the rise and I love this. The National
Fertility Registry has shown that one in ten IVF cycles
involved single females wanting to be a solo mum, going,
I haven't met my partner.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
I want to be a mum.

Speaker 6 (41:49):
I don't want this opportunity taken away from me. So
I'm just going to take it into my own hands
and I'm going to get a sperm donor and I'm
going to do it myself.

Speaker 7 (41:55):
And there's a whole bunch of stats around the sperm
donors too.

Speaker 1 (41:57):
It appears that most of them are growing rapidly, but
about sixty percent of the sperm donations for single women
in like around Australia over the last year or so.

Speaker 6 (42:06):
Yeah, and I love that because that would be such
a challenging situation to be at a certain age. And unfortunately,
the stupid clock is real and for whatever reason you've
you've got in your heart.

Speaker 3 (42:19):
I don't know if men have this, but I know
women do. If you do want to have a baby,
you've got that inside you and it doesn't go away.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
We could talk hypothetically about it and how it would
all feel, or we could speak to someone who's done
exactly this, Sophie mate in Parkside. Hey, soph can you
tell everyone at home about your little journey.

Speaker 7 (42:38):
That you decided to go on a few years ago?

Speaker 13 (42:40):
Hi, guys, thanks for having me on. Well, you've basically
nailed it with what you said so far. I've always
known that I wanted to be a mum and my
dream was to have a family, but unfortunately the right
relationships just didn't come along at the right time, and
I found out that I had some fertility issues and
I had a tough decision to make. So at the
time I just remember thinking, well, you can meet somebody

(43:02):
at any age. Look at Rupert Murdoch.

Speaker 7 (43:06):
Yeah I'm not.

Speaker 13 (43:09):
But you know, I didn't have all the time in
the world to have a baby and have a family
of my own. So I had a tough decision, but
with the love and support of my family, I decided
to go down the passive IVS, which I acknowledge is
a really privileged thing to be able to do. It
is a financial hardship, but you know, I'm sitting here
one year later with a beautiful daughter, and I'm the

(43:32):
luck here.

Speaker 6 (43:33):
Did anyone, you know, I'm assuming you've asked your parents
and your friends and things like that what they think.

Speaker 3 (43:38):
Did anyone say it's not a good idea?

Speaker 1 (43:41):
Oh?

Speaker 13 (43:41):
Look, At the time, one of the biggest things that
was a deterrent was worrying about what people would think.
People would think about what I'm doing, what that thing
would mean about me. And look, I certainly did face
some difficult questions and I had some comments like, oh, well,
you've clearly given up. But my thought at the time
was I haven't given up on finding someone. I just
don't want to miss out on my chance to become

(44:03):
a mum. And yeah, hopefully one day I will meet
my partner. But you know, I've gotten what my ultimate
dream was, and that was, yeah, to have a beautiful baby,
and yeah, I am so lucky.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
So if I know you and I know that you're
a catch, I want to know before before you went
down this path and you're in those last sort of
six months or the year before, you're like, you know
what I'm doing it, I'm diving in. Were those meeting
every bloke then? Were you like, I'm on a time frame?
Is this someone that could have my child instantly?

Speaker 13 (44:34):
Look, I think that's an unfortunate reality of dating as
a certain age, and it's so not sexy. It's not
what you want to be doing when you're out there
in the dating world. And that's why I just made
the decision to put it on pause, focus on, you
know what I wanted to do, particularly when I knew
that there was that sicking clock. And like I said,
you can always revisit it later. But yeah, it just sucks.
It's just part of mom day dating that that does

(44:56):
become a reality as you get older.

Speaker 6 (44:59):
So was one of the biggest challenges for you going Okay,
so if I have a baby, I'm going to have
to have time off, but I don't have my spouse
to earn money while I'm having time off.

Speaker 3 (45:09):
How did that work?

Speaker 15 (45:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (45:10):
Absolutely, And you know, the cost of living crisis is
real for everyone. And I was really fortunate that I
started thinking about this a while ago. You know, I've
been single for a while. I wasn't really meeting anyone
that I could imagine sharing a life with and sharing
a baby with. So I started saving and I started
planning ahead. And when the time came, you know, I

(45:30):
was ready. And yeah, it's not a quick decision that
you just leap into. And I think we're really lucky
that in Australia we have a government that is just
starting to improve, you know, the supports around people taking
parentally and I certainly benefited from that, And yeah, you
support it work as well as you work somewhere with
parentally provisions.

Speaker 6 (45:51):
I love what you've just said, and with so much
warmth and heart, that's just made me go if I
was in your position, I do exactly the same.

Speaker 7 (45:57):
Thing, Sophy.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
Before we let you go, is this something that you
would recommend for everyone in your position or does it
only work if you tick some certain boxes?

Speaker 13 (46:06):
Look, it is hard that I see a women. You
can do hard things and all you really need is
the love and support of a really good community around you.
I've made some amazing friends as a mum, and yeah,
my family has been absolutely amazing. But if you're at
all concerned about what's involved, you know, my top tip
would be making a point went with your GP, find

(46:28):
out where you're at with your health and your futility,
and then go from there. And it's not a quick process,
but just take a step and find out more. And yeah,
there's a lot of misconceptions around being a solow mum.
I'm not a spinster hating on men.

Speaker 3 (46:45):
Yeah, that's it. Thank you so much for sharing. That
was so delightful to have you on our show.

Speaker 7 (46:54):
Thank you, Sophie.

Speaker 3 (46:55):
Can I say as well.

Speaker 6 (46:56):
Before we get to calls, it's probably a fair call
to say that some moms out there, you know, they go,
I couldn't do it. But a lot of moms are
solo parenting and they have a husband as in they
do every thing.

Speaker 3 (47:08):
Like I'm not saying.

Speaker 6 (47:09):
Everybody does this at all, because there's so many amazing,
great dads out there, but sometimes you'd actually find out
if you take away of everything.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
You're doing most of the.

Speaker 7 (47:16):
Stuff, but you a second salary.

Speaker 3 (47:18):
That is probably the biggest challenge.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
I reckon, nice to have a second salary looking after
a kid. We're gonna know from you they don't want
O two three adelaide. Is this something that you have
tried or you want to try, or you in the
throes of this right now?

Speaker 7 (47:31):
Is it the best decision you ever made? Is it
the worst decision you ever made?

Speaker 3 (47:36):
Anyone's gonna say that it might be. No one regrets
having a kid, do they?

Speaker 7 (47:41):
I reckon there people regret having kids.

Speaker 5 (47:43):
No way.

Speaker 6 (47:44):
We are talking about solo mums because a study who's
just come out saying that one in ten IVF cycles
involve single females wanting to be solo mums.

Speaker 3 (47:52):
And I love this. I love that women are going.
I've got to a certain age, I've got this deep
desire to be a mom. You all know that feeling,
if you have had that feeling, if you want to
be a mom, it doesn't go away.

Speaker 7 (48:03):
Yeah, you've got the teaking clock you gotta worry about.

Speaker 3 (48:05):
Yeah, and then they've gone to know what, I'm going
to do this by myself? Can but you do need
a village.

Speaker 6 (48:10):
You need a supportive parents or friends or family people
around you, because it is it is challenging.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
That's what we heard from Sophie before. She called in
with a great story and she's happy with that. She
wouldn't change her decision for the world if you would, though,
give us ring thirty one oh two three. Kate in
Golden Grove has called in. Kate, your solo mum wants
your experience.

Speaker 16 (48:29):
Well, I heard this and I had to give you
a call because I'm going to sound ungrateful, but I
regret it.

Speaker 3 (48:37):
Don't be wrong.

Speaker 16 (48:38):
Long, don't get me wrong. I love my children. It's
not that I don't love my children, love them to death.
But before doing it, you have this grand picture of
how great life's going to because you desperately want kids.
But doing it solo, there's so many things to consider.

Speaker 10 (48:53):
I have to work.

Speaker 16 (48:54):
I'm a single wage. School holidays and a nightmare trying
to find babysitters and juggle because only get four weeks
going on holidays. I've got to work twice as hard
to stay for a holiday because there's only one wage.
Getting up in the mornings, getting to work like everything
is so much harder, and I know I did it
by choice, but I applaud any single parent. Yeah, because

(49:16):
it is so hard yacker.

Speaker 3 (49:18):
Can I just clarify, you don't regret having children.

Speaker 16 (49:21):
Not at all, Not at all. My kids are the
best thing in my life.

Speaker 3 (49:24):
Okay, you regret doing it by yourself because.

Speaker 16 (49:28):
I waited so long for mister Wright. He never came,
and I desperately wanted kids, so a best friend donated
and I was able to have my kids. However, finding
someone now who either already has kids so they don't
want the Brady bunch, or because I'm older now they
don't want kids. It's even hard to find someone now.
So I feel like this is my life and I've

(49:50):
got to learn to live.

Speaker 3 (49:51):
With her now.

Speaker 7 (49:51):
Kids that you have are blocking you from getting a
new bloger anyway, thanks a lot of your cod bloggers.
You can hear them in the background.

Speaker 3 (50:02):
I just turn around and said, Mom, what can you
think that's the worst part.

Speaker 16 (50:07):
About I do not hate my life, but I just
I feel like had I met mister Wright and I
would have been doing it with a partner. I look
at some of my friends who have a great relationship
they share but Mike, if your play sport, I have
to ask all their teams take them. I've got three
kids on my own, and so I'm relying on two

(50:30):
sport members of the other teams while I take one
and we rotate it.

Speaker 7 (50:33):
So I get to one all three.

Speaker 1 (50:34):
Did you think after the first one, and realizing how
difficult that was, that maybe you should put it away?

Speaker 6 (50:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 16 (50:39):
But you know the silly thing is he was my
first was a boy, and he was so beautiful that
I thought, oh this, I've got to go again. And
then they got along so well because it's only eighteen
months between them, so I thought, oh, okay, I'll go
one more time.

Speaker 11 (50:52):
And it's not but it's not until school and the
things like that and all stuff.

Speaker 16 (50:55):
Where do you struggle?

Speaker 6 (50:56):
Okay, one bit of advice. If someone's in their car
right now thinking I want to be a solo mom,
I want to do this.

Speaker 3 (51:01):
I haven't met mister wright. What advice to give them?

Speaker 16 (51:04):
Just sit down and definitely write down the pros and
cons and not just the early stage.

Speaker 4 (51:08):
Is I e.

Speaker 16 (51:09):
If do you want them to do sport, if you
want to go on holidays, consider everything before you jump in.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
It's a matter of knowing that that trip to the
Mouthy Coast that you wanted to have in three years
times probably not happening anymore.

Speaker 7 (51:22):
But you're going to get and for America.

Speaker 16 (51:24):
I've been saving for America for about six years.

Speaker 3 (51:26):
Guys.

Speaker 16 (51:26):
We'll get there eventually, getting joy out of other areas
exactly watching their sport, like, there's so many positives as well,
but it'd be so lovely to share it with someone,
because my picture was have the kids meet someone and
share them with Monu Man. Yes, and even that's been hard,
but I just yeah, you're.

Speaker 3 (51:44):
Doing an amazing job being a mom, Kate, well done.

Speaker 16 (51:47):
My kids are still alive, guys.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
Yeah, we can hear them in the background case when
you swore at them two minutes ago.

Speaker 16 (51:54):
Thank god for iPads.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
Thanks guys, all right, keep the calls coming. Thirty one,
O two three, solo mum, solo dads? You went it alone?

Speaker 2 (52:04):
Was it the right thing?

Speaker 7 (52:06):
Or maybe, like Kate, you're like, could have been better?
Not my favorite thing I've ever done.

Speaker 6 (52:11):
Okay, we are talking right now about how the rise
of solo mums is just incredible in Australia.

Speaker 3 (52:17):
At the moment women are getting to the age where
they're going. Do you know what I don't.

Speaker 6 (52:21):
I'm not going to wait for someone. I'm not going
to go on hunt a man down because I want
a baby. I'm going to do this myself.

Speaker 7 (52:26):
Yep, you can do IVF.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
One in ten of the IVF cycles in Australia at
the moment are just single females doing it by themselves,
and about sixty percent of the sperm donations are solo
females without a partner.

Speaker 7 (52:38):
We're going to have a kid.

Speaker 6 (52:39):
Yeah, and apparently this phone call we're about to take
is going to blow your mind.

Speaker 2 (52:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (52:43):
Kathy in Christy downs Is called him Kathy. What's your story?

Speaker 4 (52:47):
Hi? I created my own family on my own and
raised four kids on my own.

Speaker 3 (52:52):
Four Oh my gosh, how old were you when you started?

Speaker 4 (52:56):
I started at nineteen and finished up with four kids
by twenty eight?

Speaker 2 (53:00):
Kathy?

Speaker 1 (53:01):
Did you not think I've still got plenty of time
to find a man here or you just thought, you
know what, I don't need a man.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
I don't want a man.

Speaker 4 (53:08):
This way. I was very unlucky in love, okay, but.

Speaker 6 (53:11):
Only at nineteen to realize that everyone's unlucky in love.
At nineteen, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (53:16):
I think genetically. I just knew my my clocks was sticking,
and I thought, let's get going. And I'm just as well.
I did. Yeah, I'm glad I did.

Speaker 7 (53:25):
Okay, Kathy, how'd you do it? Was it IVF No?

Speaker 4 (53:28):
I no, I was ahead of my time. I did
it before that. It was called go to the pub,
look at what's healthy, and.

Speaker 11 (53:35):
Go for it.

Speaker 3 (53:37):
Hang on to these Do the dads know that their dads.

Speaker 4 (53:41):
Eventually?

Speaker 3 (53:42):
Oh my god, Kathy, Oh my gosh.

Speaker 6 (53:46):
You went to the pub for the purpose of meeting
a guy and going, I'm going to baby with you.

Speaker 4 (53:51):
Oh well, I thought if I fell pregnant, I fall pregnant.
If I don't, I don't. It was a bit like
Russian Roulette.

Speaker 3 (53:56):
I'm ovulating, let's go to the havelock, did you.

Speaker 4 (53:59):
Yeah, well I've learned. I'd read up and learned about
ovulation and fertility and all that, and I thought, yep,
I've got my cycle right.

Speaker 3 (54:05):
Oh go, Kathy.

Speaker 1 (54:06):
Did you have any intention? I have so any questions.
Did you have any intention of this, of having the
men involved? Or was it purely I wanted to have
a kid and.

Speaker 4 (54:17):
I just wanted to create my own family, for someone
to love and to love me, and that was it.
I was an only child and I never wanted to
have just one child. I knew how lonely it was.

Speaker 3 (54:26):
Are they all different dads?

Speaker 4 (54:28):
Yep?

Speaker 1 (54:29):
Do they know?

Speaker 4 (54:31):
Yeah? When ancestry DNA came out, I was like, oh, no,
I'm stuffed.

Speaker 7 (54:38):
How do I feel about this?

Speaker 3 (54:39):
Do I feel okay about this?

Speaker 18 (54:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (54:44):
Absolutely. When they were older and one of them had said, oh,
I've done an ancestry DNA test, I was shaken in
my boots because I told him the truth. And when
he said, oh, I found out who my dad was,
I was like.

Speaker 10 (54:55):
Oh, cool, who is it.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
Did you ever hear from any of the men who
got angry at you for this?

Speaker 1 (55:01):
No?

Speaker 4 (55:01):
Actually they were pretty cool about it though, like, hey,
it was the eighties. It was all kind of free love.

Speaker 3 (55:05):
And all that kind of Did you use protection.

Speaker 4 (55:09):
Obviously pregnant?

Speaker 3 (55:11):
No, but like, did you sorry? Did you say to
him let's not use protection?

Speaker 4 (55:15):
When it was the eighties, no one wanted to use protection.
It was only just then when the grim reaperads just
started coming out, and the gods were like, yeah, but
back then it was only targeted towards some gay guys,
so heterosexuals were considered still pretty safe.

Speaker 3 (55:33):
Oh my god, Kathy, how do you feel as a guy, Max?

Speaker 1 (55:36):
I think I'm deciding I don't mind anymore, because as
long as Kathy hasn't said I'm trapping you, now I've
got you and I want money from you or anything.

Speaker 4 (55:48):
And no, I absolutely didn't want anything from you. Yes,
you feel to have my own children and to raise
my little family and that little habit Friday night pizza
nights and video nights, and oh my.

Speaker 6 (56:01):
God, I'm so blown away if that was the reverse though,
imagine that was a woman.

Speaker 7 (56:05):
Thank you, Kathy. What a story.

Speaker 4 (56:06):
Oh my god, I just buy past ive, yes, and
all the costs of it, that was all.

Speaker 3 (56:11):
It keeps cheaper.

Speaker 7 (56:12):
It's way cheaper. Absolutely, just ten bucks on around.

Speaker 4 (56:19):
But yeah, and when they did finally find their fathers,
the guys were like, yeah, cool, rodeo. She never asked
for money. She never asked for nothing from me. So
but I've got this incredible young adult in front of me.
Who yeh, you know, science says your mind.

Speaker 7 (56:34):
Thank you, Kathy, what a story.

Speaker 3 (56:35):
That's amazing.

Speaker 1 (56:36):
I think I am okay with it because if you
think about it. It's just sperm donation, but you've had
the fun of donating it with someone and as soon
as they don't want anything to do with you, which
she said, I don't want, that's cool.

Speaker 2 (56:49):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (56:50):
I'm not aware that it's a sperm donation as a man.

Speaker 7 (56:52):
You know you're donating sperm. When you're donating sperm.

Speaker 3 (56:54):
Yeah, but you don't think you're doing it for the
purpose of a baby, do you.

Speaker 15 (56:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (56:59):
But I don't feel like she trapped any of them.
She was just like, that's cool.

Speaker 6 (57:02):
I went out No, but as I was a woman,
I would feel emotional connection to the child.

Speaker 3 (57:09):
I think it's different for guys. It's a very weird story,
but I love it.

Speaker 1 (57:13):
Said to you previously, if some of my best mates
asked for a donation, I'd be happy to what do
I care?

Speaker 2 (57:18):
You can have it?

Speaker 6 (57:20):
Yes, I think we've got on different minds for that,
because I'd be like, oh, but I love the baby.

Speaker 3 (57:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (57:25):
I just know you're going to tread it. Well, she's nice, gal, Yeah,
she is nice. I love that, all right.

Speaker 2 (57:29):
You know what else is nice? Vegas? The iHeartRadio Music
Festival Your Chance coming up next to get there. We're
