Speaker 1 (00:10):
Hi Heart podcasts, hear more Kiss podcast playlist and listen
live on the Free iHeart app.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Are you ready?
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Good pickup with Britt Hockley and Laura burn Brady or
what our windows down?
Speaker 3 (00:25):
If my worries in the dust? Only good fabs us
all down.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I've done much, but yeah, I know I'll be get
and what I want.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
It don't matter.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Where I goes. This is the pickup. Hi everyone, It's
the Pickup with Britt Hockley and Laura Byrn. Welcome to
the end of the week.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
And also what a good weekend. It's Mother's Day this week.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I know, I feel very passionate about this being an
important PSA. Like if you are married to a mum,
or you have a mom and you're of an age
old enough to organize something, or you know a mom Noel,
I mean, you know you're not expected to be responsible
for other people's moms, but make sure that you do
something nice for your mum. It is Mother's Day on Sunday,
and it's only a special day if the people around
(01:08):
and you actually make it special for you. So it's
an important one.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
I don't get to see my mum this weekend. She
lives about five hours drive away. But my sister Sherry
has been living overseas for two and a half years
and she had her first baby, Maya this year. So
Mayer is about eight or nine months old, and I'm
picking them up. They have moved back to the country
and I picked them up tomorrow, so Saturday they're moving
back officially. I'm going to be at the airport, so
(01:32):
it's her first Mother's Day. She'll be with me at home.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
She's arrived just in time for you to celebrate her,
just in time.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
It's so exciting.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, I know. And I mean the reason why I
say this is a PSA is because I mean I
hear of so many people and friends that I have
who I think Mother's Day to them just feels like
another day because no one does anything to make them
feel special. And I really think, you know, when you
think about the household and who is the one who
carries the mental load and is honestly doing ninety percent
(02:00):
of the stuff for a lot of households, that is
the mom. And you know it's one day where you
can glaudy way to make it feel special like this
has been your this has been your reminder everyone, have
you heard it here first. If you haven't got something
planned yet, go you've still got time. It's on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Now.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
It is Mother's Day this weekend.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
And I love a lot of things about being a
radio host, but one of the things I love the
most is when we get the chance to give back
to people that really.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Need it, or might have gone through a hard time,
or just make.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Someone feel good about themselves. And that's what we're doing
this Mother's Day.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Well, I also think as well, like I mean, mum's
are the matriarchs of our family who keep everything ticking over.
It is often such a I don't want to say
it's a thankless job, because it's not. You get thanked
in so many ways the time day, and often, like
the people who love you the most sometimes forget to
tell you how appreciated you are for everything that you
do as a mum. And Mother's Day is such an
(02:54):
important day for so many people for so many different reasons.
And we know, even on this show and from all
of you who listen, there are so many incredible mums
out there that we want to celebrate too.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Well, you're not my mum, Laura, but I appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
So we did the only mum on this show. God
damn it, that is true.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
We did want to ask you guys to let us
know to write in and call up and let us
know a mum in your life that you think really
deserves something, something really special. And can I just say, like, Wow,
this was way harder than I thought. There were so
many incredible entries and so many people that are doing
so many amazing things and really going through it.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
And I do wish I could give something to everybody. Yeah,
it was insane the response.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Yeah, And so we did have one entry from Lauren,
and Lauren wrote up to nominate her sister in law,
Tegan so Loz says Teagan lost her husband to bow
cancer when her baby was only six weeks old last year,
and this weekend will be her first Mother's Day. So
not only is it her first ever Mother's Day, if
(03:56):
I like, she is a new mum, but it is
such a huge day to be celebrating when you've lost
some like you've lost your husband the year before.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
I can't imagine it.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Is the person that you're supposed to be celebrating Mother's
Day with.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
With laws wanted to celebrate her first Mother's Day and
make sure she knows how loved she is and to
take some time to celebrate how wonderful she is. I mean,
I thought this was amazing. We thought this was an
amazing person. So we do want to call Teagan and
just give her a really beautiful package for her first
Mother's Day, just to make her feel that little bit
more loved and that little bit more special.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
So we're going to give her a call now.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
Hello, Hi, Teagan.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Teagan, we wanted to give you a call. It's Britta
Laura here from the pickup.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
Oh hi, I surprise you.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Well, first we wanted to say a very very happy
Mother's Day to you and also to let you know
that your friend laws had nominated you as being an
incredible mum.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
Oh so sweet.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Yeah, so we we I mean, just to feel you
in We wanted to find somebody really special to give
a really special prize to like a beautiful spa weekend
for somebody, and we had people call up to talk
about who they think should deserve it and why, and
your sister in law Law's just had such beautiful things
to say about you. Can you tell us a little
(05:20):
bit like what have you been through the past year,
because from all accounts, you've been through it.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
I have, I have, yeah, sadly. Yeah, July last year,
my husband Luke you passed away from bow cancer. So
sorry after year fifteenth month that old when we had
a yes, six week old baby at the time, so
she's now eleven months tomorrow. So I had foot light
in my life. Yeah, it's in a really, really tough time.
(05:47):
You have the past at a while.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
So sorry, Teagan.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah, Teagan, we were just saying, no, you were everyone here. Sorry,
We were just saying, you know, firstly, happy Mother's Day
for it being your first one, but also how deeply
sorry we are that you're celebrating it not with the
person you should be.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Thank you, Thank young bit stuff.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
I love you girls all the time.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I do want you. I want you just to hear
what lads did say about you. She told us a
bit about what you've been through, as you.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Just said, and she did just say, you're so brave
and so resilient, and whenever you see you anywhere, no
matter who it is or where it is, you always
have a smile on your face and you wouldn't even
know what you've been going through. And she just thinks
that you deserve something really beautiful, so.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
We're really happy. Then we get to give you something
to help.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
And I know we say happy Mother's Day, and it
seems to be it seems to be the thing that
rolls off people's tongues, right, And I do hope it's
happy for you, But it's not necessarily a happy day.
You know, a lot of people go through a lot
of different things, and a lot of people have lost
people in their life. And if we can just give
you something small and it is nothing into comparison to
what you've been through.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
But yeah, so thank you.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
So that's really sweet of you. Guys are call and
very kind of you, very.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Generous taking You're so welcome, and we hope that Yeah,
it is a special weekend for you after all, and
you have people around you who love you so much.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Let's try and have.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
The best Mother's Day that you possibly can. Your little
one is really lucky much.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I think it's an important one to remember because you know,
Mother's Day is a celebration for so many people, but
there are a lot of reasons why it is an
incredibly hard day for others as well, and not just
for people who are doing it on their own, but
for people who maybe don't have the babies in their
arms that they thought they would on Mother's Day or
for whatever version Mother's Day looks like for you. We
(07:40):
know that that it is a wonderfully happy day for some,
but in order to kind of celebrate that, you also
have to hold space for all the people that find
Sunday a really really challenging day as well.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
I know we've been talking a lot about babies recently,
but that is because you have announced your third pregnancy recently,
I know, and being pregnant.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Has become my entire persona, even though I promised it wouldn't,
but it does. Being pregnant just takes over everything.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Well, my feed now, like my algorithm online because of
you is now all baby.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Do you know why? It's because they're listening because I'm
like pregnancy, pregnancy, pregnancy, And then all of a sudden,
Instagram is just like, oh, oh, pregnancy, you want a
baby carrier, you want a cut, you want this. I
am constantly being targeted now, well, at.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Least you're pregnant.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
My phone just serves me everything because of you, and
I'm not pregnant. But as a part of that there
was one of these articles that popped up this sort
of chat online that's going viral, and I think it's
very relative to a lot of people, and particularly you, Laura,
from some things you've told me in passing. But there's
this lady that started a conversation online about like, what
do you do or how do you handle it when
(08:44):
you start to talk about what baby names you like,
like you're pregnant, you're thinking about them. You start to
tell your friends and family and they absolutely can them.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
We had this conversation recently on Life on Cut podcast,
and I think it's an interesting one because everyone approaches
this differently. Right, Like, some people talk about baby names
when they're pregnant. We did that with Marley and Lawla.
It was not a big deal. We were pretty said
on the names we talked about. It was really positive.
But I think the issue is is when you have
(09:13):
decided on a name and you've said, hey, we love
this name, the baby hasn't been born yet, and someone
turns around and tells you that they don't like it,
like it's this was not a democracy. Well I'm not
out here for a poll. I just told you I
like this name. Don't tell me.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
You don't like it, so listen to this.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
This lady online was pregnant told her mom, Hey, I'm pregnant.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
How exciting. Soon turned to baby names and he mum says,
have you thought of a name? And she had.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
She absolutely always knew she wanted to call her daughter
this name Mabel, and.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
She was definitive.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
The baby wasn't born, it was going to be a
Mabel no matter what it looked like.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Mabel's a cute name. No, I like Marley Mabel and
low love. Oh my god, that is cute. That's adorable.
Well do you still.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Feel that way?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
So her mum went really quiet, and she said, that
reminds me of a lady that I used to know
when I was younger, who smelt of mothballs.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
She then said, you know, she's going to get bullied
at school. The children are going to laugh at her,
and she will hate you for it.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Like that is a big Your mum's just spent too
much time away from school. Schools kids have the weirdest
names these days. Well, and they are kids with the
most whack names and no one's getting bullied for it.
It's fine.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
How crazy is this in this twenty seventeen survey, so
a few years old, but one in five grandparents admitted
to hating their grandkids' names.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
One in five.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
That's a lot.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah, I look, I mean, I don't feel dissimilar to
this or I have a relatively similar story. We did
start talking about the baby names that we were thinking
about for our unborn child, and two names that I
really liked. One of them is Harry, which everyone assumes
is short for Harriet, but I just like Harry for
a little girl.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
I think it's cute.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
I think it's cute. And also the other name was Charlie.
And they were two names that were like number one
and two on my list, and they got so severely
poo pooed. Like I did approach it a little bit like, oh,
these are the names that I'm thinking, and it was
a very clear message of no.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
It does open a conversation, right, like, are we supposed
to just accept that if you put a name out there,
even if you're not asked for an opinion. Are we
supposed to accept that people are going and give their
opinions and they may not like them. I mean, like,
or do you just say, hey, I'm not even going
to risk it. I'm keeping my names to myself.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I don't know, because I also think that once the
kid's born, usually the name, the name grows on everyone.
Like it's shocking to me that all these grandparents out
there feel so strongly about it still, because I would
say even for names that I didn't necessarily like pre
the baby being born, once the kids here in the
world and everyone's been using the name, it's like you
get to a point where you're like, oh, I couldn't
imagine you as anything else.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Oh my nephew. Yeah, yeah, my little nephew. He's wore
a bit over two.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
His name's Bear, and they sort of knew that they
wanted Bear before he was.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Named and Bear. Now i've looked into it.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
There are actually quite a few bears, but I hadn't
heard of it before, and.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
I just thought that was crazy. I was like, Bear,
like the animal.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
Ah.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Well, what's even crazier is they're both like both the
parents are like over six foot. He's a big boys
the size of a five year old. He's going to
be a big bear. But now that he's born, and like,
I know him and he has a personality and he's
on his earth side there's no other name he could be.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
And I think that the people get lost in that.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
But I think this is pretty extreme to say that
Maybel will smell like mothballs and get bullied at school.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Well, I have I have one more name that's top
of my list now, like you tell us, it's run
to the very top. And Matt is across it, and
he's pretty keen on it as well. And because of
the negative reaction from the other two names, I'm not
telling anyone to the baby's born.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
But you'll tell me.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Yeah, I'll tell you.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
I think I already know it.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I'll tell you when we play some songs. Okay, Well,
if it's the one I'm thinking of, I love it. Okay,
Now we need to come up with a middle name.
Maybe we can do that across the show. Hey, guys,
send in your middle names. That's gonna be our next break.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Laura's child is name from the pickup.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
And it is that time of the week again, and
it is where we celebrate our little wins of the week.
You guys, call up, you let us know your little wins.
Not the big stuff, just the small stuff. And if
you have the best of the little stuff, it's not
even the best. It's just what story we like. You
could win five hundred dollars to spend at chemist Warehouse,
you know, because we like celebrating. The stuff often goes unnoticed.
(13:09):
But we've got a couple of calls on the line.
Let's see who is going to get that five dollars
the chemist Warehouse. We've got Michelle, Michelle, what is your
little winn of the week?
Speaker 5 (13:18):
Hey guys, how are you?
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Hi?
Speaker 5 (13:20):
How are you? I'm not too bad. I'm having a
great day. I managed to go. I have about ten
sets of lights on my way to work, and I
was already running, mate, and I can't ever remember getting
through all of those. And I got green light after
green light after green light, And that's sticking in my head.
There's no way the next one will be rid. The
next one will be rid, not all the way through.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
It really does, doesn't it. You're like, today's going to
be a good day.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
Good things are going to happen today.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
If you miss, if you get every red light, that
is a difference between you making the rest of your
day on time, Like every red light could be twenty
five minutes behind.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Can I tell you you something that makes me sound
utterly insane, Michelle. I used to use red lights, kind
of like like what are those balls that you shake
and they tell you yes, no, maybe yeah. So I'd
be driving, I'd be driving up to a light. I
still do it from time to time, and I would
like whatever thing I was dealing with, like will my
boyfriend break up with me? Crazy? And I would ask
(14:20):
the red light a light? If it was a red light,
it was a note. And if it was a green light,
I knew it was going to be a good day.
Like I use red and green lights as my superstition. Yes,
please stop, Okay, cool? All right, well no one else
does that. Thanks, thanks Michelle. All right. Next on the line,
we've got Belinda. Belinda, what is your little winner of
the week.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
My win of the week is someone else's hosting Mother's Day?
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Oh my god? And I take it.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
You're a mom, right, I am of three beautiful boys.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
So nice that you actually get the day off. Imagine
hosting your own Mother's Day. That sucks.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Well, someone has to get.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
All the partners. They should be the ones posting the
Mother's Day.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Christmas, isn't it if someone else puts their hand up
to host Christmas?
Speaker 3 (14:59):
You were like, praise the Lord.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
We need to tell Yeah, we do need to sign
intervention though, because like it should be no that if
someone's doing a Mother's Day celebration, it shouldn't be any
mum who's doing the organization of that.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
It should be the dads fair or are the kid
if they're old enough, if they're a teenager.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah, Unfortunately a five year old of four year old
is not going to really come through with the goods.
I'll get pancakes made out of leaves, real perfect. All right, Ali,
what is your little winn of the week.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Hi, I'm actually not a good public speaker, but it
was my It was my daughter's twenty first on the weekend,
and I just put myself into heartfelt mode and I
nailed my speech and I was so proud of myself.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
But it was so beautiful that she started.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Crying and her friends were crying, and it was yeah,
it was It was just a beautiful heart melt moment.
And it just you know, don't give up and don't
be scared and just gon't achieve what you can and
just be strong.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
You know, you know you've nailed a speech. There's tears
like that's what you want. If there's not tears, you
keep going until you get them.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Until people are trying. How long did it take you
to write the speech?
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Took me about two weeks.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
There's a lot of How many people were in front
of are.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
We talking one hundred and twenty?
Speaker 1 (16:14):

Speaker 5 (16:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
It was crazy, and I was so nervous. I was like,
I was like shaking, and then you know what, I
read about two lines of the speech and then the
rest of us.
Speaker 6 (16:28):
It all came so naturally.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Well, if you won five hundred dollars from Chema's warehouse,

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Good pickup with Britt Hockley and Laura burn Brady or
what our windows down?
Speaker 3 (00:25):
If my worries in the dust? Only good fabs us
all down.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I've done much, but yeah, I know I'll be get
and what I want.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
It don't matter.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Where I goes. This is the pickup. Hi everyone, It's
the Pickup with Britt Hockley and Laura Byrn. Welcome to
the end of the week.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
And also what a good weekend. It's Mother's Day this week.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I know, I feel very passionate about this being an
important PSA. Like if you are married to a mum,
or you have a mom and you're of an age
old enough to organize something, or you know a mom Noel,
I mean, you know you're not expected to be responsible
for other people's moms, but make sure that you do
something nice for your mum. It is Mother's Day on Sunday,
and it's only a special day if the people around
(01:08):
and you actually make it special for you. So it's
an important one.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
I don't get to see my mum this weekend. She
lives about five hours drive away. But my sister Sherry
has been living overseas for two and a half years
and she had her first baby, Maya this year. So
Mayer is about eight or nine months old, and I'm
picking them up. They have moved back to the country
and I picked them up tomorrow, so Saturday they're moving
back officially. I'm going to be at the airport, so
(01:32):
it's her first Mother's Day. She'll be with me at home.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
She's arrived just in time for you to celebrate her,
just in time.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
It's so exciting.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, I know. And I mean the reason why I
say this is a PSA is because I mean I
hear of so many people and friends that I have
who I think Mother's Day to them just feels like
another day because no one does anything to make them
feel special. And I really think, you know, when you
think about the household and who is the one who
carries the mental load and is honestly doing ninety percent
(02:00):
of the stuff for a lot of households, that is
the mom. And you know it's one day where you
can glaudy way to make it feel special like this
has been your this has been your reminder everyone, have
you heard it here first. If you haven't got something
planned yet, go you've still got time. It's on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Now.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
It is Mother's Day this weekend.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
And I love a lot of things about being a
radio host, but one of the things I love the
most is when we get the chance to give back
to people that really.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Need it, or might have gone through a hard time,
or just make.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Someone feel good about themselves. And that's what we're doing
this Mother's Day.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Well, I also think as well, like I mean, mum's
are the matriarchs of our family who keep everything ticking over.
It is often such a I don't want to say
it's a thankless job, because it's not. You get thanked
in so many ways the time day, and often, like
the people who love you the most sometimes forget to
tell you how appreciated you are for everything that you
do as a mum. And Mother's Day is such an
(02:54):
important day for so many people for so many different reasons.
And we know, even on this show and from all
of you who listen, there are so many incredible mums
out there that we want to celebrate too.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Well, you're not my mum, Laura, but I appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
So we did the only mum on this show. God
damn it, that is true.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
We did want to ask you guys to let us
know to write in and call up and let us
know a mum in your life that you think really
deserves something, something really special. And can I just say, like, Wow,
this was way harder than I thought. There were so
many incredible entries and so many people that are doing
so many amazing things and really going through it.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
And I do wish I could give something to everybody. Yeah,
it was insane the response.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Yeah, And so we did have one entry from Lauren,
and Lauren wrote up to nominate her sister in law,
Tegan so Loz says Teagan lost her husband to bow
cancer when her baby was only six weeks old last year,
and this weekend will be her first Mother's Day. So
not only is it her first ever Mother's Day, if
(03:56):
I like, she is a new mum, but it is
such a huge day to be celebrating when you've lost
some like you've lost your husband the year before.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
I can't imagine it.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Is the person that you're supposed to be celebrating Mother's
Day with.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
With laws wanted to celebrate her first Mother's Day and
make sure she knows how loved she is and to
take some time to celebrate how wonderful she is. I mean,
I thought this was amazing. We thought this was an
amazing person. So we do want to call Teagan and
just give her a really beautiful package for her first
Mother's Day, just to make her feel that little bit
more loved and that little bit more special.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
So we're going to give her a call now.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
Hello, Hi, Teagan.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Teagan, we wanted to give you a call. It's Britta
Laura here from the pickup.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
Oh hi, I surprise you.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Well, first we wanted to say a very very happy
Mother's Day to you and also to let you know
that your friend laws had nominated you as being an
incredible mum.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
Oh so sweet.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Yeah, so we we I mean, just to feel you
in We wanted to find somebody really special to give
a really special prize to like a beautiful spa weekend
for somebody, and we had people call up to talk
about who they think should deserve it and why, and
your sister in law Law's just had such beautiful things
to say about you. Can you tell us a little
(05:20):
bit like what have you been through the past year,
because from all accounts, you've been through it.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
I have, I have, yeah, sadly. Yeah, July last year,
my husband Luke you passed away from bow cancer. So
sorry after year fifteenth month that old when we had
a yes, six week old baby at the time, so
she's now eleven months tomorrow. So I had foot light
in my life. Yeah, it's in a really, really tough time.
(05:47):
You have the past at a while.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
So sorry, Teagan.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah, Teagan, we were just saying, no, you were everyone here. Sorry,
We were just saying, you know, firstly, happy Mother's Day
for it being your first one, but also how deeply
sorry we are that you're celebrating it not with the
person you should be.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Thank you, Thank young bit stuff.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
I love you girls all the time.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I do want you. I want you just to hear
what lads did say about you. She told us a
bit about what you've been through, as you.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Just said, and she did just say, you're so brave
and so resilient, and whenever you see you anywhere, no
matter who it is or where it is, you always
have a smile on your face and you wouldn't even
know what you've been going through. And she just thinks
that you deserve something really beautiful, so.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
We're really happy. Then we get to give you something
to help.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
And I know we say happy Mother's Day, and it
seems to be it seems to be the thing that
rolls off people's tongues, right, And I do hope it's
happy for you, But it's not necessarily a happy day.
You know, a lot of people go through a lot
of different things, and a lot of people have lost
people in their life. And if we can just give
you something small and it is nothing into comparison to
what you've been through.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
But yeah, so thank you.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
So that's really sweet of you. Guys are call and
very kind of you, very.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Generous taking You're so welcome, and we hope that Yeah,
it is a special weekend for you after all, and
you have people around you who love you so much.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Let's try and have.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
The best Mother's Day that you possibly can. Your little
one is really lucky much.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I think it's an important one to remember because you know,
Mother's Day is a celebration for so many people, but
there are a lot of reasons why it is an
incredibly hard day for others as well, and not just
for people who are doing it on their own, but
for people who maybe don't have the babies in their
arms that they thought they would on Mother's Day or
for whatever version Mother's Day looks like for you. We
(07:40):
know that that it is a wonderfully happy day for some,
but in order to kind of celebrate that, you also
have to hold space for all the people that find
Sunday a really really challenging day as well.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
I know we've been talking a lot about babies recently,
but that is because you have announced your third pregnancy recently,
I know, and being pregnant.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Has become my entire persona, even though I promised it wouldn't,
but it does. Being pregnant just takes over everything.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Well, my feed now, like my algorithm online because of
you is now all baby.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Do you know why? It's because they're listening because I'm
like pregnancy, pregnancy, pregnancy, And then all of a sudden,
Instagram is just like, oh, oh, pregnancy, you want a
baby carrier, you want a cut, you want this. I
am constantly being targeted now, well, at.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Least you're pregnant.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
My phone just serves me everything because of you, and
I'm not pregnant. But as a part of that there
was one of these articles that popped up this sort
of chat online that's going viral, and I think it's
very relative to a lot of people, and particularly you, Laura,
from some things you've told me in passing. But there's
this lady that started a conversation online about like, what
do you do or how do you handle it when
(08:44):
you start to talk about what baby names you like,
like you're pregnant, you're thinking about them. You start to
tell your friends and family and they absolutely can them.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
We had this conversation recently on Life on Cut podcast,
and I think it's an interesting one because everyone approaches
this differently. Right, Like, some people talk about baby names
when they're pregnant. We did that with Marley and Lawla.
It was not a big deal. We were pretty said
on the names we talked about. It was really positive.
But I think the issue is is when you have
(09:13):
decided on a name and you've said, hey, we love
this name, the baby hasn't been born yet, and someone
turns around and tells you that they don't like it,
like it's this was not a democracy. Well I'm not
out here for a poll. I just told you I
like this name. Don't tell me.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
You don't like it, so listen to this.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
This lady online was pregnant told her mom, Hey, I'm pregnant.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
How exciting. Soon turned to baby names and he mum says,
have you thought of a name? And she had.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
She absolutely always knew she wanted to call her daughter
this name Mabel, and.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
She was definitive.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
The baby wasn't born, it was going to be a
Mabel no matter what it looked like.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Mabel's a cute name. No, I like Marley Mabel and
low love. Oh my god, that is cute. That's adorable.
Well do you still.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Feel that way?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
So her mum went really quiet, and she said, that
reminds me of a lady that I used to know
when I was younger, who smelt of mothballs.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
She then said, you know, she's going to get bullied
at school. The children are going to laugh at her,
and she will hate you for it.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Like that is a big Your mum's just spent too
much time away from school. Schools kids have the weirdest
names these days. Well, and they are kids with the
most whack names and no one's getting bullied for it.
It's fine.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
How crazy is this in this twenty seventeen survey, so
a few years old, but one in five grandparents admitted
to hating their grandkids' names.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
One in five.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
That's a lot.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah, I look, I mean, I don't feel dissimilar to
this or I have a relatively similar story. We did
start talking about the baby names that we were thinking
about for our unborn child, and two names that I
really liked. One of them is Harry, which everyone assumes
is short for Harriet, but I just like Harry for
a little girl.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
I think it's cute.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
I think it's cute. And also the other name was Charlie.
And they were two names that were like number one
and two on my list, and they got so severely
poo pooed. Like I did approach it a little bit like, oh,
these are the names that I'm thinking, and it was
a very clear message of no.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
It does open a conversation, right, like, are we supposed
to just accept that if you put a name out there,
even if you're not asked for an opinion. Are we
supposed to accept that people are going and give their
opinions and they may not like them. I mean, like,
or do you just say, hey, I'm not even going
to risk it. I'm keeping my names to myself.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I don't know, because I also think that once the
kid's born, usually the name, the name grows on everyone.
Like it's shocking to me that all these grandparents out
there feel so strongly about it still, because I would
say even for names that I didn't necessarily like pre
the baby being born, once the kids here in the
world and everyone's been using the name, it's like you
get to a point where you're like, oh, I couldn't
imagine you as anything else.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Oh my nephew. Yeah, yeah, my little nephew. He's wore
a bit over two.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
His name's Bear, and they sort of knew that they
wanted Bear before he was.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Named and Bear. Now i've looked into it.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
There are actually quite a few bears, but I hadn't
heard of it before, and.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
I just thought that was crazy. I was like, Bear,
like the animal.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
Ah.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Well, what's even crazier is they're both like both the
parents are like over six foot. He's a big boys
the size of a five year old. He's going to
be a big bear. But now that he's born, and like,
I know him and he has a personality and he's
on his earth side there's no other name he could be.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
And I think that the people get lost in that.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
But I think this is pretty extreme to say that
Maybel will smell like mothballs and get bullied at school.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Well, I have I have one more name that's top
of my list now, like you tell us, it's run
to the very top. And Matt is across it, and
he's pretty keen on it as well. And because of
the negative reaction from the other two names, I'm not
telling anyone to the baby's born.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
But you'll tell me.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Yeah, I'll tell you.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
I think I already know it.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I'll tell you when we play some songs. Okay, Well,
if it's the one I'm thinking of, I love it. Okay,
Now we need to come up with a middle name.
Maybe we can do that across the show. Hey, guys,
send in your middle names. That's gonna be our next break.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Laura's child is name from the pickup.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
And it is that time of the week again, and
it is where we celebrate our little wins of the week.
You guys, call up, you let us know your little wins.
Not the big stuff, just the small stuff. And if
you have the best of the little stuff, it's not
even the best. It's just what story we like. You
could win five hundred dollars to spend at chemist Warehouse,
you know, because we like celebrating. The stuff often goes unnoticed.
(13:09):
But we've got a couple of calls on the line.
Let's see who is going to get that five dollars
the chemist Warehouse. We've got Michelle, Michelle, what is your
little winn of the week?
Speaker 5 (13:18):
Hey guys, how are you?
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Hi?
Speaker 5 (13:20):
How are you? I'm not too bad. I'm having a
great day. I managed to go. I have about ten
sets of lights on my way to work, and I
was already running, mate, and I can't ever remember getting
through all of those. And I got green light after
green light after green light, And that's sticking in my head.
There's no way the next one will be rid. The
next one will be rid, not all the way through.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
It really does, doesn't it. You're like, today's going to
be a good day.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
Good things are going to happen today.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
If you miss, if you get every red light, that
is a difference between you making the rest of your
day on time, Like every red light could be twenty
five minutes behind.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Can I tell you you something that makes me sound
utterly insane, Michelle. I used to use red lights, kind
of like like what are those balls that you shake
and they tell you yes, no, maybe yeah. So I'd
be driving, I'd be driving up to a light. I
still do it from time to time, and I would
like whatever thing I was dealing with, like will my
boyfriend break up with me? Crazy? And I would ask
(14:20):
the red light a light? If it was a red light,
it was a note. And if it was a green light,
I knew it was going to be a good day.
Like I use red and green lights as my superstition. Yes,
please stop, Okay, cool? All right, well no one else
does that. Thanks, thanks Michelle. All right. Next on the line,
we've got Belinda. Belinda, what is your little winner of
the week.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
My win of the week is someone else's hosting Mother's Day?
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Oh my god? And I take it.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
You're a mom, right, I am of three beautiful boys.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
So nice that you actually get the day off. Imagine
hosting your own Mother's Day. That sucks.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Well, someone has to get.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
All the partners. They should be the ones posting the
Mother's Day.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Christmas, isn't it if someone else puts their hand up
to host Christmas?
Speaker 3 (14:59):
You were like, praise the Lord.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
We need to tell Yeah, we do need to sign
intervention though, because like it should be no that if
someone's doing a Mother's Day celebration, it shouldn't be any
mum who's doing the organization of that.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
It should be the dads fair or are the kid
if they're old enough, if they're a teenager.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah, Unfortunately a five year old of four year old
is not going to really come through with the goods.
I'll get pancakes made out of leaves, real perfect. All right, Ali,
what is your little winn of the week.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Hi, I'm actually not a good public speaker, but it

And it just you know, don't give up and don't
be scared and just gon't achieve what you can and
just be strong.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
You know, you know you've nailed a speech. There's tears
like that's what you want. If there's not tears, you
keep going until you get them.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Until people are trying. How long did it take you
to write the speech?
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Took me about two weeks.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
There's a lot of How many people were in front
of are.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
We talking one hundred and twenty?
Speaker 1 (16:14):

Speaker 2 (16:20):
It was crazy, and I was so nervous. I was like,
I was like shaking, and then you know what, I
read about two lines of the speech and then the
rest of us.
Speaker 6 (16:28):
It all came so naturally.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Well, if you won five hundred dollars from Chema's warehouse,
