You've absolutely killed it. What was your inspir I love.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Thank you. I'm so glad you liked that song.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
My inSpot for that song is my son Riley. He's
three years old now. He loves the moon and rocket
chips and outer space and astronauts. And I decorated his
whole room and he has this rug that says to
the Moon on it, and we always say love you
to the moon and back. And so in my list
of titles, I had to the Moon, and I was like, Dode,
(00:53):
we got to write like a love song that's like
my Love's going to take you to the moon.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Like I already had that all laid out.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
And then all my songs all my hit songs recently
are all like major chords and like happy, So for
to the Moon. We wanted to be like moody and viby,
and I was like, she needs to be hot, like
the girl of your dreams, like spooky. And then when
we get to the chorus, I wanted to flip on
their face and punch them in the gut and take
them to the and I want to be like ms,
(01:22):
my love, my love, you know, and we did it.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Bass.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I love how you describe this.
Speaker 6 (01:26):
You're like, I'm gonna it's a song for my children,
but I wanted the be to punch you in the gut.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
It's got to still be a bit of both.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
How do you feel My mom's like, this is like
a sexy love song. Stop saying like.
Speaker 6 (01:36):
You riles, it'll love it when he's twenty. But also
you becoming a mom. Have you found that you're you're
like the things that you're writing about, the way in
which you're approaching your music. Have you found that it's
changed now that you're in a different phase of life.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
It's so much better. They may they make me work harder.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
They inspire me to push myself and be by their
overall as a human.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Like, I don't know if you noticed, but I've like
never looked better. I've never been we all notice.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
She's always looked that good.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I did buy these teeth are bot and I love them.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yeah, good mind, it's turkey. The turkey mean if I'm
saying them, they're gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Thank you so much. So that helps. But yeah, my
kids inspired me to like get.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
Healthier and learn how to work out correctly, and like
be better with my album, artwork and every every detail
of my life. I just want to be better for them,
to show them like how much I love them and
how like they could do anything if they believe in
enough and they work hard enough.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, what was the.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Question just about how music ex change.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
I think it's amazing because so many people who uh,
gotta have kids, you worry about how it's going to
impact your your career. So many women worry about how
having children is going to stop them from being able
to achieve things. So seeing you absolutely smash it being
a mom of two kids, it's an inspiration not just
for your children, but for other women out there who
are able to look on and realize, you know what,
(03:14):
life still exists.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Beyond having children.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Oh yeah, I always tell people, don't.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
I don't know if this is an experience for every
mama out there, but for me, I hope to give
hope because they literally started, they like ignited my life,
like they started.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
A fire in me that I never had.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
And I was like, my life started when those kids
came out. Like my husband is everything, He's the whole world.
He is great.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
But when the king, it was like life is on,
you know.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
And I told my husband I look at them all
the time, and I go when we're all cuddling, I'm like, oh, oh,
I'm peaking, you know, like, oh, this is the happiest
I'll ever be.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
You know, you guys are such a tight family.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I actually met Daryl before I met you, Megan. It
was backstaged Australian idol. I was looking for a bathroom
I need to go a week and I was walking
through the holes and then I see Darryl in the
hallway playing with little Riley, and they just looked like
a normal dad in some playing, which they are, of course,
but you know, the famous and the blue tick and
the money and everything makes you in the Grammy in
the house, you think, you know, different family.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Just carrying it around.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Yeah, I thought, where's the grammy? But no, it's actually
really beautiful to see that family unit and be so
public in the you know, image of the world.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
It's really great.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I love saying it.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Yeah, we're we're very normal.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
We're very regular, and I think my family like keeps
us all very humble.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
My brothers are like what you think you're special? You know,
like they and they.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
I think something that I love is speaking of your brother.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
But you've got your podcast working on it, and it's
pretty unfiltered, Like it's pretty hectic. There's not a lot
that you don't talk about. What's that decision like for you?
Because I feel like a lot of people in the
public eye, a lot of people in Hollywood are really
protective of their image and don't want to give too
much away. And I feel like you the opposite. Is
there anything that you think about?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Oh, shouldn't have said that.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
There's like there's only one thing that I don't love
that keeps getting sent around.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
I am unfiltered. I don't know how to lie.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
I freak out, and I'm like, I gotta tell you truth,
like even about like my poop schedule and everything like
anal fishers at all.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
I just Itch talks about his anal fishes too.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
I wrote a book about my pregnancy, and I'm like,
here's the real deal, you know, like here's anything. Just
because when I hear people talk about their stuff and
I can relate to it, I'm like, I'm not weird.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I'm not alone, you know, like I'm very normal and
growing up learning that.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Like I didn't realize everyone all pooped in public all
the time.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I was like, that's insane, Like I would love to
do that.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Laura, on this show, I'm not joking. Every single week
we do a daily show, she brings a story about
pooing herself at a public toilet. Tell Man, now, exactly
the story you told on the pick up the other
week about the public toilet incident because you were late.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
I don't talk about necessarily pulling myself, but like I think,
when you have kids, you spend a lot of like
an unreasonable amount of time in public toilets. Right, I've
got a four year old a three year old, so
anytime we go anywhere, they're like, Mama needing the toilet.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
So you know, you would normally try and avoid them.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
I got into a public toilet and then I realized
that there was no toilet paper. There was nothing at all,
and there was no one coming to help me. And
then I rummaged through my bag and come to help me.
You know, normally you can ask the person who's in
the stall next to you, or you can get someone
to like pass you some paper underneath the door, and
that didn't happen. But I rummaged around in my little
handbag and I found that I had a pair of
(06:35):
spare socks for my kids that were in my handbag,
and that worked a treat and.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
It was very very soft, and it was very effective
the end.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
So was this a peer pooh pooh?
Speaker 6 (06:47):
It was a peer, I would have just shook off.
So look, when we talk about unfitted things, we are
not again sharing.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
We don't shame. I'm proud of you.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
You you solved that prime and you figured it out
in that moment.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
But being so open on my podcast, it's great. The
one thing I'm like, oh.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
Please stop writing articles about that is that I talked
about sexy time with my hobby and that I would
like be uncomfortable afterwards, and I would.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I said, he's a big boy.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
And I keep seeing Megan, like Megan walked weird after
because her husband's a big boy, and I'm like, please stop,
I think you.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Would love that that's being sent around, Like I'm sure
he doesn't have a problem.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
With it, like and he is big boy.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
But it turns out that I actually had something going
on with my huhah called Jennis Smith that. But also
my vestibula was because of all the hormones of pregnancy.
It was like not infected, but like it's all wrong
to where if it feels like glass, like it's all
(07:57):
right red and I have to like put on testosterone cream.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
It's a whole nightmare.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
I'm like, nobody talks about it, but every girl suffers
from this. And like back in the day, doctors were
like just drink up, honey, like deal with it. And
now they're like, oh, it's science and your chemicals are
all messed up down there because of your hormones from pregnancy.
And I was like, oh, I have to tell someone,
you know, because I know I thought I.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Was just like super small and uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Yeah, But also I mean, how do you deal with that?
Speaker 6 (08:26):
Because it's one thing when you think you want to
share something because it is relatable and you know other
women are experiencing it and going through it, and we
have the same thing happened to us.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
On our podcast Life and Cut, we'll talk.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
About things that we think are completely normal and fine,
and then media outlet will pick up a sentence of it.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
They'll run so many articles and then your.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
Left feeling as though you're a bit shameful that you
said it, or you wish you'd say it in a
different way. Is like, how do you manage those situations
when you see the headlines written and you're like, I
just wish this would go away.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
One was really bad.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
I was pregnant and I for the first time ever,
I think the alcoholic like gene that runs my family.
I was like, oh, I get what they say when
they're like I want to drink till I can't feel anymore.
And I was like, but I'm pregnant. Like I was
really sad, really depressed.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
That was really hard.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
But other than that, like I don't mind when people
are running stories about like she's such a weird so
that she's just too toilets next to each other.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I'm like, Oh, you don't know what love is you know,
like I can brush off that stuff.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
They're like he poops it in there or she like
always goes about them and a husband's there.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I'm like, I'm sorry, you've never had love, so that sucks.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
You know. The rest are good if they like, yeah,
that's that's pretty much all.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I guess.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
The only criticism they can say that I'm too open
and like what I have at it.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Yeah, And I guess it makes you more.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
It makes you stronger as well, get to a point
where you're like you kind of you have to get
a bit tough about it.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
I just read it. That's how I deal with it.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I just don't like hyperiodicals. Yeah, I have to try
to read less.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
I just did a TikTok about how like I had
an anal fisher and I cured it myself with dragon
fruit instead of my relax every day.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Like my doctors were like.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
You just have to be a me relaxed person, and
I was like, I want to drink this.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Every day, Like yeah, there's got to be that way.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
And I started eating dragonfruit and my stools got softer
like with a fruit, and I was like, period, I
fixed it myself, and then.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
I'm a doctor everything.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
I was like, this is the most helpful thing I
have had on my four you page in so long.
And then one girl was like, that's a lot of
info we didn't need, and I was like, you're.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Welcome, yeah, but what't do we much rather this like
version of a celebrity than look at the Jelos. That's
what Google's going on with Jaelo at the most, she's
so tired never you know, and Scaparelli. And then you
look at Megan and it's like, oh my god, you're
so real and we can relate to these things and
give that to success.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Megan, I never felt celebrity.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
You definitely are a celebrity. I hate to break it,
but your celebrity? Can you great?
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Teethe put these to bed first because they see something
that we talk about all the time.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
I lovely.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
It's true you. He is always name dropping you, and
he's saying how tight you are, and you your best
friends and you're hanging out all the time, and like
and if she was here, you know she'd be over
for dinners or not.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Like he's always talking about that. Can you don't be shy?
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Now?
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Can you just just tell us.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
What I lived in the same city. We would hang
out all the time, your besties.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
So it's real, I do.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I love him, and like we meet a lot of
we do a lot.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
I sit here for hours and I do so many
interviews and sometimes we're like, God, that guy had no
idea what he was doing or and it's rare when
we remember someone and everyone on you like a lot
a lot of people goodbyes, but.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Like it's rare when we all hurk up and go
it's just.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Coming, you know, Like that was a genuine I've noticed
a lot of people say.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
We feel the same way about it.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
It's like I've died, guys, I'm still here. This is
like an in memorium at the Oscars when someone passes,
which was awesome.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
We do miss it. We would say horrible things about
your memorial. We got to say them to your face.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
I want to be speaking of when you do interviews
and sometimes you have those moments where you're like that
person has no idea what they're talking about. You recently
did the podcast episode with Bobby Bobby.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Isn't that her name? Isn't it?
Speaker 6 (12:23):
And she, I mean I know that that is her
stick right is to pretend like she doesn't know what's
going on. And if anyone isn't familiar with this podcast,
it's kind of satirical where she interviews celebrities but pretty
much just spends the entire time offending them. Have you
been in a situation or even in that where you
are being interviewed by someone and you're like, they literally
(12:44):
know nothing about me, they don't listen to my music,
and this is just awkward for everyone.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
I was so nervous for that interview because I knew
how like what it is, and I knew I was like,
what if she's like that awkward in person. But she
came over and was like a delight and like hung
out with my babies, and is that because she has kids?
Speaker 2 (13:05):
She's like so good with kids. And I was like,
who is this boby? You know? And then she like
is quirky.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
And cute when the cameras are off too. But then
we started the interview and I started panicking and I
was like, oh no, and then I because she's like
so good at talking and when the cameras were off,
and then we started the interview and she was like,
I don't know any of your music. I was like
I forgot, like what her stick is.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
How did you not know a single song? No, we're
the same age, like you know my song? Just like
and I was.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Like, I just spent all day watching every episode that
you've ever made, like to why.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Don't you know my stuff? And then she was like
that's the show and I was like, oh.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Yeah, oh yeah, I forgot it so funny. I find
it's so great. I love it.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Speaking shows before we let you go. You here in
Australia doing Australian Idol. We've very on Kyle Standalan's on
the same network as us, but we loved you you lift,
And then I'm reading rooms. I'm like, oh, trying to
google to see if you'd come back. But then there's
like roomors like, oh, maybe you'll do American Idol because
Katie Perry's just announced she's leaving. Is that something you'd
consider doing?
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Right? I just performed on there and I it's my
dying wish, it is my is my oh my deathbed?
Speaker 2 (14:16):
What do I want to be a judge on American Idol?
Speaker 5 (14:19):
I like, I just love that show so much and
I have done so many other shows like it, like
Australian Idol, and I'm like I know what I'm doing.
Coach put me in like I was there recently as
a mentor and I was like my mo on set,
you know, like I it is just too cool for me.
And I got really attached to the these adorable superstars
(14:42):
that are so talented.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
And then I performed on the show and I was
like I belong here.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
And I know Katie is like about to leave the
show and do probably just like a break and I
will fill in, you know what I'm saying, And I
will give the spot back.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
We will straight to the execs. Just you know you're
on the campaign trail with you. Don't worry. We vouch
for you.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Are every where I go.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
I look at the cameras on the interviews, I go, Hi,
I would do anything for that job.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
You know, I want that job. It would be so good.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
To work and drive home. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (15:16):

You've absolutely killed it. What was your inspir I love.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Thank you. I'm so glad you liked that song.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
My inSpot for that song is my son Riley. He's
three years old now. He loves the moon and rocket
chips and outer space and astronauts. And I decorated his
whole room and he has this rug that says to
the Moon on it, and we always say love you
to the moon and back. And so in my list
of titles, I had to the Moon, and I was like, Dode,
(00:53):

my Love's going to take you to the moon.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Like I already had that all laid out.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
And then all my songs all my hit songs recently
are all like major chords and like happy, So for
to the Moon. We wanted to be like moody and viby,
and I was like, she needs to be hot, like
the girl of your dreams, like spooky. And then when
we get to the chorus, I wanted to flip on
their face and punch them in the gut and take
them to the and I want to be like ms,
(01:22):
my love, my love, you know, and we did it.
Speaker 2 (01:25):

Speaker 3 (01:25):
I love how you describe this.
Speaker 6 (01:26):
You're like, I'm gonna it's a song for my children,
but I wanted the be to punch you in the gut.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
It's got to still be a bit of both.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
How do you feel My mom's like, this is like
a sexy love song. Stop saying like.
Speaker 6 (01:36):
You riles, it'll love it when he's twenty. But also
you becoming a mom. Have you found that you're you're
like the things that you're writing about, the way in
which you're approaching your music. Have you found that it's
changed now that you're in a different phase of life.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
It's so much better. They may they make me work harder.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
They inspire me to push myself and be by their
overall as a human.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Like, I don't know if you noticed, but I've like

kids inspired me to like get.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
Healthier and learn how to work out correctly, and like
be better with my album, artwork and every every detail
of my life. I just want to be better for them,
to show them like how much I love them and
how like they could do anything if they believe in
enough and they work hard enough.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, what was the.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Question just about how music ex change.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
I think it's amazing because so many people who uh,
gotta have kids, you worry about how it's going to
impact your your career. So many women worry about how
having children is going to stop them from being able
to achieve things. So seeing you absolutely smash it being
a mom of two kids, it's an inspiration not just
for your children, but for other women out there who
are able to look on and realize, you know what,
(03:14):
life still exists.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Beyond having children.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Oh yeah, I always tell people, don't.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
I don't know if this is an experience for every
mama out there, but for me, I hope to give
hope because they literally started, they like ignited my life,
like they started.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
A fire in me that I never had.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
And I was like, my life started when those kids
came out. Like my husband is everything, He's the whole world.
He is great.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
But when the king, it was like life is on,
you know.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
And I told my husband I look at them all
the time, and I go when we're all cuddling, I'm like, oh, oh,
I'm peaking, you know, like, oh, this is the happiest
I'll ever be.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
You know, you guys are such a tight family.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I actually met Daryl before I met you, Megan. It
was backstaged Australian idol. I was looking for a bathroom
I need to go a week and I was walking
through the holes and then I see Darryl in the
hallway playing with little Riley, and they just looked like
a normal dad in some playing, which they are, of course,
but you know, the famous and the blue tick and
the money and everything makes you in the Grammy in
the house, you think, you know, different family.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Just carrying it around.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Yeah, I thought, where's the grammy? But no, it's actually
really beautiful to see that family unit and be so
public in the you know, image of the world.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
It's really great.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I love saying it.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Yeah, we're we're very normal.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
We're very regular, and I think my family like keeps
us all very humble.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
My brothers are like what you think you're special? You know,
like they and they.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
I think something that I love is speaking of your brother.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
But you've got your podcast working on it, and it's
pretty unfiltered, Like it's pretty hectic. There's not a lot
that you don't talk about. What's that decision like for you?
Because I feel like a lot of people in the
public eye, a lot of people in Hollywood are really
protective of their image and don't want to give too
much away. And I feel like you the opposite. Is
there anything that you think about?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Oh, shouldn't have said that.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
There's like there's only one thing that I don't love
that keeps getting sent around.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
I am unfiltered. I don't know how to lie.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
I freak out, and I'm like, I gotta tell you truth,
like even about like my poop schedule and everything like
anal fishers at all.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
I just Itch talks about his anal fishes too.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
I wrote a book about my pregnancy, and I'm like,
here's the real deal, you know, like here's anything. Just
because when I hear people talk about their stuff and
I can relate to it, I'm like, I'm not weird.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I'm not alone, you know, like I'm very normal and
growing up learning that.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Like I didn't realize everyone all pooped in public all
the time.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I was like, that's insane, Like I would love to
do that.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Laura, on this show, I'm not joking. Every single week
we do a daily show, she brings a story about
pooing herself at a public toilet. Tell Man, now, exactly
the story you told on the pick up the other
week about the public toilet incident because you were late.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
I don't talk about necessarily pulling myself, but like I think,
when you have kids, you spend a lot of like
an unreasonable amount of time in public toilets. Right, I've
got a four year old a three year old, so
anytime we go anywhere, they're like, Mama needing the toilet.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
So you know, you would normally try and avoid them.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
I got into a public toilet and then I realized
that there was no toilet paper. There was nothing at all,
and there was no one coming to help me. And
then I rummaged through my bag and come to help me.
You know, normally you can ask the person who's in
the stall next to you, or you can get someone
to like pass you some paper underneath the door, and
that didn't happen. But I rummaged around in my little
handbag and I found that I had a pair of
(06:35):
spare socks for my kids that were in my handbag,
and that worked a treat and.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
It was very very soft, and it was very effective
the end.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
So was this a peer pooh pooh?
Speaker 6 (06:47):
It was a peer, I would have just shook off.
So look, when we talk about unfitted things, we are
not again sharing.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
We don't shame. I'm proud of you.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
You you solved that prime and you figured it out
in that moment.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
But being so open on my podcast, it's great. The
one thing I'm like, oh.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
Please stop writing articles about that is that I talked
about sexy time with my hobby and that I would
like be uncomfortable afterwards, and I would.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I said, he's a big boy.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
And I keep seeing Megan, like Megan walked weird after
because her husband's a big boy, and I'm like, please stop,
I think you.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Would love that that's being sent around, Like I'm sure
he doesn't have a problem.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
With it, like and he is big boy.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
But it turns out that I actually had something going
on with my huhah called Jennis Smith that. But also
my vestibula was because of all the hormones of pregnancy.
It was like not infected, but like it's all wrong
to where if it feels like glass, like it's all
(07:57):
right red and I have to like put on testosterone cream.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
It's a whole nightmare.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
I'm like, nobody talks about it, but every girl suffers
from this. And like back in the day, doctors were
like just drink up, honey, like deal with it. And
now they're like, oh, it's science and your chemicals are
all messed up down there because of your hormones from pregnancy.
And I was like, oh, I have to tell someone,
you know, because I know I thought I.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Was just like super small and uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Yeah, But also I mean, how do you deal with that?
Speaker 6 (08:26):
Because it's one thing when you think you want to
share something because it is relatable and you know other
women are experiencing it and going through it, and we
have the same thing happened to us.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
On our podcast Life and Cut, we'll talk.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
About things that we think are completely normal and fine,
and then media outlet will pick up a sentence of it.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
They'll run so many articles and then your.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
Left feeling as though you're a bit shameful that you
said it, or you wish you'd say it in a
different way. Is like, how do you manage those situations
when you see the headlines written and you're like, I
just wish this would go away.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
One was really bad.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
I was pregnant and I for the first time ever,
I think the alcoholic like gene that runs my family.
I was like, oh, I get what they say when
they're like I want to drink till I can't feel anymore.
And I was like, but I'm pregnant. Like I was
really sad, really depressed.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
That was really hard.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
But other than that, like I don't mind when people
are running stories about like she's such a weird so
that she's just too toilets next to each other.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I'm like, Oh, you don't know what love is you know,
like I can brush off that stuff.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
They're like he poops it in there or she like
always goes about them and a husband's there.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I'm like, I'm sorry, you've never had love, so that sucks.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
You know. The rest are good if they like, yeah,
that's that's pretty much all.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I guess.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
The only criticism they can say that I'm too open
and like what I have at it.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Yeah, And I guess it makes you more.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
It makes you stronger as well, get to a point
where you're like you kind of you have to get
a bit tough about it.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
I just read it. That's how I deal with it.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I just don't like hyperiodicals. Yeah, I have to try
to read less.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
I just did a TikTok about how like I had
an anal fisher and I cured it myself with dragon
fruit instead of my relax every day.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Like my doctors were like.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
You just have to be a me relaxed person, and
I was like, I want to drink this.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Every day, Like yeah, there's got to be that way.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
And I started eating dragonfruit and my stools got softer
like with a fruit, and I was like, period, I
fixed it myself, and then.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
I'm a doctor everything.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
I was like, this is the most helpful thing I
have had on my four you page in so long.
And then one girl was like, that's a lot of
info we didn't need, and I was like, you're.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Welcome, yeah, but what't do we much rather this like
version of a celebrity than look at the Jelos. That's
what Google's going on with Jaelo at the most, she's
so tired never you know, and Scaparelli. And then you
look at Megan and it's like, oh my god, you're
so real and we can relate to these things and
give that to success.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Megan, I never felt celebrity.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
You definitely are a celebrity. I hate to break it,
but your celebrity? Can you great?
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Teethe put these to bed first because they see something
that we talk about all the time.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
I lovely.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
It's true you. He is always name dropping you, and
he's saying how tight you are, and you your best
friends and you're hanging out all the time, and like
and if she was here, you know she'd be over
for dinners or not.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Like he's always talking about that. Can you don't be shy?
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Now?
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Can you just just tell us.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
What I lived in the same city. We would hang
out all the time, your besties.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
So it's real, I do.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I love him, and like we meet a lot of
we do a lot.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
I sit here for hours and I do so many
interviews and sometimes we're like, God, that guy had no
idea what he was doing or and it's rare when
we remember someone and everyone on you like a lot
a lot of people goodbyes, but.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Like it's rare when we all hurk up and go
it's just.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Coming, you know, Like that was a genuine I've noticed
a lot of people say.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
We feel the same way about it.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
It's like I've died, guys, I'm still here. This is
like an in memorium at the Oscars when someone passes,
which was awesome.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
We do miss it. We would say horrible things about
your memorial. We got to say them to your face.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
I want to be speaking of when you do interviews
and sometimes you have those moments where you're like that
person has no idea what they're talking about. You recently
did the podcast episode with Bobby Bobby.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Isn't that her name? Isn't it?
Speaker 6 (12:23):
And she, I mean I know that that is her
stick right is to pretend like she doesn't know what's
going on. And if anyone isn't familiar with this podcast,
it's kind of satirical where she interviews celebrities but pretty
much just spends the entire time offending them. Have you
been in a situation or even in that where you
are being interviewed by someone and you're like, they literally
(12:44):
know nothing about me, they don't listen to my music,
and this is just awkward for everyone.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
I was so nervous for that interview because I knew
how like what it is, and I knew I was like,
what if she's like that awkward in person. But she
came over and was like a delight and like hung
out with my babies, and is that because she has kids?
Speaker 2 (13:05):
She's like so good with kids. And I was like,
who is this boby? You know? And then she like
is quirky.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
And cute when the cameras are off too. But then
we started the interview and I started panicking and I
was like, oh no, and then I because she's like
so good at talking and when the cameras were off,
and then we started the interview and she was like,
I don't know any of your music. I was like
I forgot, like what her stick is.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
How did you not know a single song? No, we're
the same age, like you know my song? Just like
and I was.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Like, I just spent all day watching every episode that
you've ever made, like to why.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Don't you know my stuff? And then she was like
that's the show and I was like, oh.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Yeah, oh yeah, I forgot it so funny. I find
it's so great. I love it.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Speaking shows before we let you go. You here in
Australia doing Australian Idol. We've very on Kyle Standalan's on
the same network as us, but we loved you you lift,
And then I'm reading rooms. I'm like, oh, trying to
google to see if you'd come back. But then there's
like roomors like, oh, maybe you'll do American Idol because
Katie Perry's just announced she's leaving. Is that something you'd
consider doing?
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Right? I just performed on there and I it's my
dying wish, it is my is my oh my deathbed?
Speaker 2 (14:16):
What do I want to be a judge on American Idol?
Speaker 5 (14:19):
I like, I just love that show so much and
I have done so many other shows like it, like
Australian Idol, and I'm like I know what I'm doing.
Coach put me in like I was there recently as
a mentor and I was like my mo on set,
you know, like I it is just too cool for me.
And I got really attached to the these adorable superstars
(14:42):
that are so talented.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
And then I performed on the show and I was
like I belong here.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
And I know Katie is like about to leave the
show and do probably just like a break and I
will fill in, you know what I'm saying, And I
will give the spot back.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
We will straight to the execs. Just you know you're
on the campaign trail with you. Don't worry. We vouch
for you.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Are every where I go.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
I look at the cameras on the interviews, I go, Hi,
I would do anything for that job.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
You know, I want that job. It would be so good.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
To work and drive home. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yeah, yeah, live that nine to five life. Well you

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
