Speaker 1 (00:39):
BI guys, it's the pickup with Brit Hockeley and Laura
Burn Today.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Here is a big day.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
It's a very big day. Do you know why?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Because today is the day that we're announcing who is
going to be filling in for me while I take
so much needed maternity leave.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
It was a rigorous application. How many people applied for
a bride? Hundreds? Now eight?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Yeah, there were twenty eight applications somewhere immediately knows. We'll
never voice that.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
But there were some really hot.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Contenders, hot as in physically hot or hot just in
with lots of radio experience, real entertainers from the Australian industry.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
No oh, we had.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Some Chris Hemsworth esques people.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I mean, who do we have in there? We were
talking about maybe Grand Dania feeling in for.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
A while, Larry, Larry Emda, Yeah, Lazzie, Yeah, I'm in
Irwin Robert, but he's gone to the US for Dance
with This.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Unfortunately, I mean not unfortunately for him, unfortunately for us.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I think he's going to win Dance with the Stars.
Is that still happening.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
How do you think that because he's only just performed
once about twenty minutes ago. No, No, he's the show's
only just started, So that means you're just thinking it's
also rigged and that they're just going to put him
on as a winner.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Well, I don't think it's rigged.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
I think it's a voting system, and I think he's
so well loved that he has a very good chance
of winning. Well his sister Bidney one. Anyway, we're not
talking about him. Were talking about me because I'm leaving
this week. I'm going on maternal leave and I'm not
coming back.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Guys, at leasten to the end of the year.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
It's not Robert, But who is it?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
You're going to find out later today? You are.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
We do have them on the show later today, the
grand reveal.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
They cleared their schedule.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
They're coming in with their team.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Of who is going to be Britney Hockley's co host
for the rest of the US. For the pickup When
you're stressed, what's your number one go to thing? What's
the best de stresser in your life?
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Oh my god, you could have prompted me with this.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I would go to the gym.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I feel like you're a gym, or you get into
one of those red saunas.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Yeah, I would exercise a hundi, or I would just
like plung on the lounge and watch Netflix.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
So there's a new trend. The reason why I'm talking
about this that has really got some steam in China
at the moment.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
In young adults.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Now, you guys might remember a couple of months ago,
it was like six months ago, we talked a lot
about me trying to get Lola, my youngest who's four now,
she was three and a half.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
At the time, off the dummy.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Oh that was a wild rollercoaster.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
We did it all.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
We did the dummy Fairy. We did bribery like we did.
We took it, we gave it back. We did good parenting,
we did terrible parenting. We did all the things. Now
it turns out that maybe I didn't need to get
her off the dummy at all.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Because in China, the thing that young people are using
to soothe themselves after a big, stressful day is an
adult pacified. So apparently adult pass me a dummy, a
dummy for adults. Apparently, dummies a big business in China,
and it's this like silicone seuda. It started off as, like,
I think, a bit of a niche thing, and now
(03:20):
it is absolutely booming as a business, and people are
taking home and getting over the pressures of work with
a dummy that is so quick.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
A way to turn me off or give me the ick.
Then seeing a grown man with a dummy.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
It's like, I'm so stretched. Imagine going to a guy's
house first day.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Dummy cute because that has a baby kink thing where
you know how to dress as a baby.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Here's what one person had to say, when I'm under
pressure at work, I just feel a sense of safety
from my childhood. That was a review from one buyer. However,
I guess I don't know why we're talking about this.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
The reason why I'm.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Comfortable, The reason why we're talking about it is because
obviously this sounds utterly ridiculous, and I think most of
us would be like war on Earth is.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Going on here.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
But the other thing is is that there are lots
of stuff that my kids get to do, or like
most children get to do stuff that like as an adult,
if someone tucked me into bed at seven pm and
told me I could go to sleep for thirteen hours,
I would be so filled with joy.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Oh and kids complain, Sorry, spank me and tell me
to go to bed.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Kids complain.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
As an adult, that's what people want.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I'm not spanking my kids are telling them to go
to bed. But all right, Britt, tells what you really want. Okay.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
The punishments for kids is what like adults can only
dreap off.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Okay, here's another one.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
My kid's the number one thing they get some sadder
than anything, like they cannot. My kids don't do well
without like prepped planning, so like they need to know
what they're doing in the day, and if the plans change,
they get pretty irate by like changed plans, it canceled plans.
If we've got something to go to and then those
plans get changed, devastated.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Silent disc go at home.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
As an adult, it is my absolute pure joy when
someone canceled his plans.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
I could not be more happy. No.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
My saying that I live by is pbe, which means
played by ear.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
I don't do plans. I play it by E with
all my friends.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Smack me and put me in a bed, spank me,
put me in bed. Oh no, I spank me and
let me sleep. Okay, I get another one.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Naps here we are kids hate a nap, Adults love
a nap.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Underrated a quiet time nap too? Another one bathtime? Just
put me in a nice warm bar.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Every single night in my household, it's the same thing.
It is a half an hour battle to get them
into the bath, and then as soon as they're in
the bath, it's a half an hour battle to.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Get them out of the bath. I think maybe they
don't like transitions very much.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
What about lam This never happens to me. Finish your
dinner or you get no dessert. I've never had anyone
tell me to finish my dinner. I'm like, can I
have seconds? I need to lay down, Say where.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Are you going with this?
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Do not give yourself dessert?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
And then my last one that I've written down here
is Brussels sprouts because I hated them as a kid
and my mum used to make me eat them, and
now I think like they're like the absolute delicacy on
a menu. If there is baked Brussels sprouts on a menu,
little drizzle, ah delicious.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
I'd happily never eat them again. To be honest, all right, whatever, how.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Much would I have to pay you to try out?
To try out an adult dummy?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
I would try it, but nothing's going to give me
to eat quicker.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
I would try it for you, if that's what you
want to see me do. Laura, pictured this. You're at
the airport. You've just gotten off a plane with me.
Let's just say me.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I've done that before. I can visualize this.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Yeah, but there is a connecting flight that you guys
are running for and you need to make. So you're
running through the airport. But one of this is faster.
Let's say you. Let's say you.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
How about we say you? Because I am eight months pregnant,
so I reckon you would be able to beat me.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Okay, you and I set off. We've gotten off a plane.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
You and I set off.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
We're like quick run like we've got to make the flight.
So we're running, but I'm faster than you. You're waddling
behind me with your pregnant belly. Actually you're not pregnant.
That takes away from it. You're just not pregnant. I
make the plane, I know, because that makes it worse
for me.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
I'm on such a journey with this.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I know. I don't stick with me. I make the
connecting flight, but I don't look back for you, and
I don't wait for you. Are you mad at me?
Or would you rather us both missed the flight?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Well, okay, all right, at the variables. There's variables here.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
If we both got off the plane, we're both fully
able and capable people like.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I'm not eight months pregnant.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
If you ran off and just dashed off and left
me to lug my bags by myself and waddle to
the airport, like to the next terminal, and then you
bordered the plane and didn't even ask the gate to
wait for me, I'd be pretty pissed.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
No, okay, I've said, wait, you just didn't make it.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
But if we were, like if I wasn't pregnant, we're
both the same, and we both got off and you
were like, we're going to miss it, and you start
running and I don't run.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Then that's on me, I think, so go for gold.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Yeah, so you think it's okay if like you would
rather your friends make the plane and you miss it
because you went fast enough, then everyone missed the plane.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I don't know. I need to know why you're asking
me this first. Give me the context.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Well, it happened to someone online and it really got
me thinking would I be mad if I was in
this position? So I'll just tell you. So she's basically asked,
am I the a hole? Like all my feelings justified
because I'm hurt?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
I do love that reddit.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
So there were like.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Four of them.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
They boarded a plane together. They got off, but they
were borded.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
In different sections.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
You know, it's like amb can disembark first.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Yeah, maybe someone was at the front of the plane,
someone going back.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Yeah, but they all knew they only had like a
really quick forty minute layover to navigate this huge airport
and get to the connecting flight. And so they got
off and they started running just on their own, like they.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
All knew their got to run.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Well, they had the same responsibility. You all know your
flight is in forty minutes, you all know the gate number,
like you all have the same information anyway, So these
girls just legged it to the next flight, but they
didn't look back for this one other particular girl. But
I guess they all just assumed it was like the
amazing race and it's like every man for themselves and
they get there without sort of looking for her, messaging her,
(08:55):
seeing where she is whatever. So they bought the plane,
And now she has come online saying, my feeling's justified
to think that this is cooked of my friends to do,
like to run ahead without me and try to board
a plane not even knowing if I'm gonna make it
or if they're going to continue the holiday without.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Did they not well, you know, when you get to
the gate, did they not tell their air flight hostesses
to wait, like one of our friends is coming.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
They're going to be here in twenty seconds. She said.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
They didn't even ask the flight attendance to not to
fire the next game.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
But it was an ahole move. Yeah, so you think
it's an ahole Well, I mean.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Look, would I want my friends to miss their flight
because I am not moving as quickly if I'm fully
able and capable, they're No, I don't want them to.
But also I think whoever gets there first. That it
is like the unspoken rule that you say, oh my god,
I'm so sorry. Like we've just gotten off an inconnecting flight,
I've got two friends coming. They're going to be here
in a minute. You know, you do that, you do
you due diligence.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Did she make it on.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
The flight or she didn't make it on the flight
she missed it?
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Well, okay, So firstly, I personally think that it's okay,
you would leave me for dead Bridge.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yes I would, I would.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
But I would I would want you to leave me
as well if it was a difference between you getting
to go on your pre paid, pre booked holiday because
I was rolling around whatever I was doing, them your holiday.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Without your friend because you left at the interconnecting airport.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
But anyway, I would say go for it, Laura.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Would I be devoed? Yes, but it's on me.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
But at the end of the day, the funniest part
about this is she actually did make the flight. She's
just upset that she may not have made it. So
she made the fly. They all got on the fly.
But this woman is just upset the fact that her
friends tried to go on without her, and like didn't.
She even says they didn't even look back, which I
think is so dramatic. No, I think that this is silly.
Then look, I would say a fair assumption is that
(10:36):
they probably got to the gate, they checked themselves in,
and they were like, hey, our friend is coming, she's
one minute away. The person who's written this in is
assuming that none of that was done. Like, I think
there are very few friends who are just going to
run off the plane, never look back at dawn and
like never speak to you again.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Firstly, you made it onto the fly.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
You're fine. I think we're all being a bit of
a princess. Yet it would be very different if, say,
like you run away from your nana. She did say,
you know, you're like one of us is going to
get on this flight.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Then she did sayry your own bags.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
I tried to keep pace, but I found it difficult
after a long fo Get a grip, Yeah, get a grip.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
I remember this one time we were traveling brit and
we misjudged when our return flight was and we got
to the airport with very little to spare.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
To be fair, we.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Definitely kept up with each other, but it was a
bit of an every man for themselves situation.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
I tried to shake you. You weren't as heavily pregnant,
so you could keep up. Laura, I cannot believe we
are here at this next chapter of our relationship.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
It is time.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
We have been talking about it all show. I think that, look,
I don't want to go on maternity leave. I actually don't,
but I do want to have the baby because I
can't physically keep it in any longer, like I'm so uncomfortable.
But we've been teasing all show that I will be
having some time off after the end of this week.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Which checks out.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
That's what people do when they have birthed something out
of their vagina.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Will Usually people check out earlier than this.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
I think I'm gonna have this baby potentially Tuesday next week,
and I'm.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Still on air until Friday.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
I had been to be honest in denial, and I
haven't really thought about what it means for me, probably
because it's not about me, but it sort of is
so like I just didn't really understand that it meant, like,
oh my god, Lord's having a baby, that it means
I would either a be left to host this show
alone or be do the unthinkable and replace you, and
I thought were about to say, oh, have a holiday. Also,
(12:29):
I tried to ask for a holiday to my own
maternity leave.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
They said no, you're not pregnant.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
They said no, okay, So we have been teasing that
we do, in fact have a replacement. There have been
many names that have been thrown around this show. Someone said,
Russell Crowe. I think we're aiming a little bit high.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Can I say when we chose to replace you? Because
they said I couldn't go on holiday, I put a
call out and I said, who wants to replace Laura
Burna be my co host? I cannot tell you how
many people were so quick to replace you, Laura.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
People.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
They were walking all over you. People.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
You know who can amy who this is so I
can send them a really nasty message afterwards.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Well, we had one of Australia's most loved dads, who
Larry am Dong.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Yeh, yeah, he would also do a great job. Though
It's fine. I don't mind being replaced.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
By Larry Tody from Neighbors. Yeah Tody Chris Hemsworth, he
really wanted it actually, but I shame. I don't think
I could work opposite him.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Yeah, I feel like, your husband will get jealous.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Yeah, I just wouldn't be able to concentrate. So I
vetoed that even though he really wants. Well, look, I
think we have dragged it out long enough. We do
actually have the replacement. Laura Burn here in studio, sitting
right next to me, and drum roll please, the new
host of the pickup is many job.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
It's so good to be here, Laura, get out the job.
This is my place now.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
We did keep it as close to home as humanly possible.
We decided just to get my husband to fill in.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
The interview process was very rigorous.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Do you know what they said?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
They did ask if we could all do a chemistry
test to see if you have and I was like,
I am married to the man.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I think we've got.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
We had sex, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I mean I was trying to bring on labordet this
baby out.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
No, it was a rigorous test.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
What did you have to pass to get in here?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Mat No, it literally just said just get here for
three o'clock and you're fine. But actually, when I need
to hear double check, when do I actually start.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Well, I mean, I'm having the baby on hoping Tuesday.
We are like I think I'm getting injuiced. We can't
be sure. We can't be sure. It could happen in
the next few days.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
I don't need your life story, just need to know
what data.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
You don't even know what day we're having this baby.
Happy time.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
It keeps changing the goalposter forever moving, so I can't
keep tracked.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
It can't move that much.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
It is that week. Gosh.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
So because we're getting in juice, Matt keeps asking for
the specific date and I'm like, tell me.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I'm like, I don't know. It's dependent on.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
I'm like, what do you mean you don't know when
you're having a baby.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
I was like, it's dependent on the hospital.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
But he keeps booking things on days and I was like,
you know, you have to keep three days free the.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Week man to get the baby. When do I start?
Speaker 4 (15:10):
When I tell you what?
Speaker 5 (15:11):
Does anyone know what's happening?
Speaker 3 (15:12):
No one actually knows.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Taking all taking a week of paternity to leave.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
How do you feel about the fact that you're going
to be juggling a newborn baby and also a brand new,
sparky radio career.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I could not ask for anything more right now.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
It's a dream come true.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
How do you feel about your your co host?
Speaker 4 (15:30):
That's the big question that everyone me included has been asking.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
You know, we get along so well. We've always had
a great relationship and you know, to sit alongside you
on air three pm.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
It's three pm pick up, there's three pm pick up.

wait to see where our relationship goes from here.
Speaker 3 (15:48):

want us Well, everything was great until you out of
my wedding to Australia before I got married.

But I was closing it. I was helping you.

the middle name of our baby. I've not talked about
these things on any platform, and Matt says to me

a radio kick.

It don't matter where does this is the pickup?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
BI guys, it's the pickup with Brit Hockeley and Laura
Burn Today.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Here is a big day.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
It's a very big day. Do you know why?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Because today is the day that we're announcing who is
going to be filling in for me while I take
so much needed maternity leave.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
It was a rigorous application. How many people applied for
a bride? Hundreds? Now eight?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Yeah, there were twenty eight applications somewhere immediately knows. We'll
never voice that.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
But there were some really hot.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Contenders, hot as in physically hot or hot just in
with lots of radio experience, real entertainers from the Australian industry.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
No oh, we had.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Some Chris Hemsworth esques people.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I mean, who do we have in there? We were
talking about maybe Grand Dania feeling in for.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
A while, Larry, Larry Emda, Yeah, Lazzie, Yeah, I'm in
Irwin Robert, but he's gone to the US for Dance
with This.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Unfortunately, I mean not unfortunately for him, unfortunately for us.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I think he's going to win Dance with the Stars.
Is that still happening.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
How do you think that because he's only just performed
once about twenty minutes ago. No, No, he's the show's
only just started, So that means you're just thinking it's
also rigged and that they're just going to put him
on as a winner.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Well, I don't think it's rigged.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
I think it's a voting system, and I think he's
so well loved that he has a very good chance
of winning. Well his sister Bidney one. Anyway, we're not
talking about him. Were talking about me because I'm leaving
this week. I'm going on maternal leave and I'm not
coming back.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Guys, at leasten to the end of the year.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
It's not Robert, But who is it?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
You're going to find out later today? You are.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
We do have them on the show later today, the
grand reveal.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
They cleared their schedule.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
They're coming in with their team.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Of who is going to be Britney Hockley's co host
for the rest of the US. For the pickup When
you're stressed, what's your number one go to thing? What's
the best de stresser in your life?
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Oh my god, you could have prompted me with this.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I would go to the gym.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I feel like you're a gym, or you get into
one of those red saunas.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Yeah, I would exercise a hundi, or I would just
like plung on the lounge and watch Netflix.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
So there's a new trend. The reason why I'm talking
about this that has really got some steam in China
at the moment.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
In young adults.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Now, you guys might remember a couple of months ago,
it was like six months ago, we talked a lot
about me trying to get Lola, my youngest who's four now,
she was three and a half.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
At the time, off the dummy.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Oh that was a wild rollercoaster.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
We did it all.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
We did the dummy Fairy. We did bribery like we did.
We took it, we gave it back. We did good parenting,
we did terrible parenting. We did all the things. Now
it turns out that maybe I didn't need to get
her off the dummy at all.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Because in China, the thing that young people are using
to soothe themselves after a big, stressful day is an
adult pacified. So apparently adult pass me a dummy, a
dummy for adults. Apparently, dummies a big business in China,
and it's this like silicone seuda. It started off as, like,
I think, a bit of a niche thing, and now
(03:20):
it is absolutely booming as a business, and people are
taking home and getting over the pressures of work with
a dummy that is so quick.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
A way to turn me off or give me the ick.
Then seeing a grown man with a dummy.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
It's like, I'm so stretched. Imagine going to a guy's
house first day.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Dummy cute because that has a baby kink thing where
you know how to dress as a baby.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Here's what one person had to say, when I'm under
pressure at work, I just feel a sense of safety
from my childhood. That was a review from one buyer. However,
I guess I don't know why we're talking about this.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
The reason why I'm.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Comfortable, The reason why we're talking about it is because
obviously this sounds utterly ridiculous, and I think most of
us would be like war on Earth is.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Going on here.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
But the other thing is is that there are lots
of stuff that my kids get to do, or like
most children get to do stuff that like as an adult,
if someone tucked me into bed at seven pm and
told me I could go to sleep for thirteen hours,
I would be so filled with joy.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Oh and kids complain, Sorry, spank me and tell me
to go to bed.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Kids complain.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
As an adult, that's what people want.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I'm not spanking my kids are telling them to go
to bed. But all right, Britt, tells what you really want. Okay.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
The punishments for kids is what like adults can only
dreap off.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Okay, here's another one.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
My kid's the number one thing they get some sadder
than anything, like they cannot. My kids don't do well
without like prepped planning, so like they need to know
what they're doing in the day, and if the plans change,
they get pretty irate by like changed plans, it canceled plans.
If we've got something to go to and then those
plans get changed, devastated.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Silent disc go at home.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
As an adult, it is my absolute pure joy when
someone canceled his plans.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
I could not be more happy. No.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
My saying that I live by is pbe, which means
played by ear.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
I don't do plans. I play it by E with
all my friends.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Smack me and put me in a bed, spank me,
put me in bed. Oh no, I spank me and
let me sleep. Okay, I get another one.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Naps here we are kids hate a nap, Adults love
a nap.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Underrated a quiet time nap too? Another one bathtime? Just
put me in a nice warm bar.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Every single night in my household, it's the same thing.
It is a half an hour battle to get them
into the bath, and then as soon as they're in
the bath, it's a half an hour battle to.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Get them out of the bath. I think maybe they
don't like transitions very much.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
What about lam This never happens to me. Finish your
dinner or you get no dessert. I've never had anyone
tell me to finish my dinner. I'm like, can I
have seconds? I need to lay down, Say where.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Are you going with this?
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Do not give yourself dessert?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
And then my last one that I've written down here
is Brussels sprouts because I hated them as a kid
and my mum used to make me eat them, and
now I think like they're like the absolute delicacy on
a menu. If there is baked Brussels sprouts on a menu,
little drizzle, ah delicious.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
I'd happily never eat them again. To be honest, all right, whatever, how.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Much would I have to pay you to try out?
To try out an adult dummy?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
I would try it, but nothing's going to give me
to eat quicker.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
I would try it for you, if that's what you
want to see me do. Laura, pictured this. You're at
the airport. You've just gotten off a plane with me.
Let's just say me.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I've done that before. I can visualize this.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Yeah, but there is a connecting flight that you guys
are running for and you need to make. So you're
running through the airport. But one of this is faster.
Let's say you. Let's say you.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
How about we say you? Because I am eight months pregnant,
so I reckon you would be able to beat me.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Okay, you and I set off. We've gotten off a plane.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
You and I set off.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
We're like quick run like we've got to make the flight.
So we're running, but I'm faster than you. You're waddling
behind me with your pregnant belly. Actually you're not pregnant.
That takes away from it. You're just not pregnant. I
make the plane, I know, because that makes it worse
for me.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
I'm on such a journey with this.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I know. I don't stick with me. I make the
connecting flight, but I don't look back for you, and
I don't wait for you. Are you mad at me?
Or would you rather us both missed the flight?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Well, okay, all right, at the variables. There's variables here.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
If we both got off the plane, we're both fully
able and capable people like.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I'm not eight months pregnant.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
If you ran off and just dashed off and left
me to lug my bags by myself and waddle to
the airport, like to the next terminal, and then you
bordered the plane and didn't even ask the gate to
wait for me, I'd be pretty pissed.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
No, okay, I've said, wait, you just didn't make it.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
But if we were, like if I wasn't pregnant, we're
both the same, and we both got off and you
were like, we're going to miss it, and you start
running and I don't run.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Then that's on me, I think, so go for gold.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Yeah, so you think it's okay if like you would
rather your friends make the plane and you miss it
because you went fast enough, then everyone missed the plane.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I don't know. I need to know why you're asking
me this first. Give me the context.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Well, it happened to someone online and it really got
me thinking would I be mad if I was in
this position? So I'll just tell you. So she's basically asked,
am I the a hole? Like all my feelings justified
because I'm hurt?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
I do love that reddit.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
So there were like.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Four of them.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
They boarded a plane together. They got off, but they
were borded.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
In different sections.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
You know, it's like amb can disembark first.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Yeah, maybe someone was at the front of the plane,
someone going back.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Yeah, but they all knew they only had like a
really quick forty minute layover to navigate this huge airport
and get to the connecting flight. And so they got
off and they started running just on their own, like they.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
All knew their got to run.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Well, they had the same responsibility. You all know your
flight is in forty minutes, you all know the gate number,
like you all have the same information anyway, So these
girls just legged it to the next flight, but they
didn't look back for this one other particular girl. But
I guess they all just assumed it was like the
amazing race and it's like every man for themselves and
they get there without sort of looking for her, messaging her,
(08:55):
seeing where she is whatever. So they bought the plane,
And now she has come online saying, my feeling's justified
to think that this is cooked of my friends to do,
like to run ahead without me and try to board
a plane not even knowing if I'm gonna make it
or if they're going to continue the holiday without.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Did they not well, you know, when you get to
the gate, did they not tell their air flight hostesses
to wait, like one of our friends is coming.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
They're going to be here in twenty seconds. She said.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
They didn't even ask the flight attendance to not to
fire the next game.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
But it was an ahole move. Yeah, so you think
it's an ahole Well, I mean.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Look, would I want my friends to miss their flight
because I am not moving as quickly if I'm fully
able and capable, they're No, I don't want them to.
But also I think whoever gets there first. That it
is like the unspoken rule that you say, oh my god,
I'm so sorry. Like we've just gotten off an inconnecting flight,
I've got two friends coming. They're going to be here
in a minute. You know, you do that, you do
you due diligence.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Did she make it on.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
The flight or she didn't make it on the flight
she missed it?
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Well, okay, So firstly, I personally think that it's okay,
you would leave me for dead Bridge.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yes I would, I would.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
But I would I would want you to leave me
as well if it was a difference between you getting
to go on your pre paid, pre booked holiday because
I was rolling around whatever I was doing, them your holiday.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Without your friend because you left at the interconnecting airport.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
But anyway, I would say go for it, Laura.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Would I be devoed? Yes, but it's on me.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
But at the end of the day, the funniest part
about this is she actually did make the flight. She's
just upset that she may not have made it. So
she made the fly. They all got on the fly.
But this woman is just upset the fact that her
friends tried to go on without her, and like didn't.
She even says they didn't even look back, which I
think is so dramatic. No, I think that this is silly.
Then look, I would say a fair assumption is that
(10:36):
they probably got to the gate, they checked themselves in,
and they were like, hey, our friend is coming, she's
one minute away. The person who's written this in is
assuming that none of that was done. Like, I think
there are very few friends who are just going to
run off the plane, never look back at dawn and
like never speak to you again.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Firstly, you made it onto the fly.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
You're fine. I think we're all being a bit of
a princess. Yet it would be very different if, say,
like you run away from your nana. She did say,
you know, you're like one of us is going to
get on this flight.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Then she did sayry your own bags.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
I tried to keep pace, but I found it difficult
after a long fo Get a grip, Yeah, get a grip.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
I remember this one time we were traveling brit and
we misjudged when our return flight was and we got
to the airport with very little to spare.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
To be fair, we.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Definitely kept up with each other, but it was a
bit of an every man for themselves situation.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
I tried to shake you. You weren't as heavily pregnant,
so you could keep up. Laura, I cannot believe we
are here at this next chapter of our relationship.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
It is time.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
We have been talking about it all show. I think that, look,
I don't want to go on maternity leave. I actually don't,
but I do want to have the baby because I
can't physically keep it in any longer, like I'm so uncomfortable.
But we've been teasing all show that I will be
having some time off after the end of this week.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Which checks out.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
That's what people do when they have birthed something out
of their vagina.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Will Usually people check out earlier than this.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
I think I'm gonna have this baby potentially Tuesday next week,
and I'm.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Still on air until Friday.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
I had been to be honest in denial, and I
haven't really thought about what it means for me, probably
because it's not about me, but it sort of is
so like I just didn't really understand that it meant, like,
oh my god, Lord's having a baby, that it means
I would either a be left to host this show
alone or be do the unthinkable and replace you, and
I thought were about to say, oh, have a holiday. Also,
(12:29):
I tried to ask for a holiday to my own
maternity leave.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
They said no, you're not pregnant.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
They said no, okay, So we have been teasing that
we do, in fact have a replacement. There have been
many names that have been thrown around this show. Someone said,
Russell Crowe. I think we're aiming a little bit high.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Can I say when we chose to replace you? Because
they said I couldn't go on holiday, I put a
call out and I said, who wants to replace Laura
Burna be my co host? I cannot tell you how
many people were so quick to replace you, Laura.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
People.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
They were walking all over you. People.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
You know who can amy who this is so I
can send them a really nasty message afterwards.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Well, we had one of Australia's most loved dads, who
Larry am Dong.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Yeh, yeah, he would also do a great job. Though
It's fine. I don't mind being replaced.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
By Larry Tody from Neighbors. Yeah Tody Chris Hemsworth, he
really wanted it actually, but I shame. I don't think
I could work opposite him.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Yeah, I feel like, your husband will get jealous.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Yeah, I just wouldn't be able to concentrate. So I
vetoed that even though he really wants. Well, look, I
think we have dragged it out long enough. We do
actually have the replacement. Laura Burn here in studio, sitting
right next to me, and drum roll please, the new
host of the pickup is many job.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
It's so good to be here, Laura, get out the job.
This is my place now.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
We did keep it as close to home as humanly possible.
We decided just to get my husband to fill in.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
The interview process was very rigorous.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Do you know what they said?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
They did ask if we could all do a chemistry
test to see if you have and I was like,
I am married to the man.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I think we've got.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
We had sex, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I mean I was trying to bring on labordet this
baby out.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
No, it was a rigorous test.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
What did you have to pass to get in here?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Mat No, it literally just said just get here for
three o'clock and you're fine. But actually, when I need
to hear double check, when do I actually start.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Well, I mean, I'm having the baby on hoping Tuesday.
We are like I think I'm getting injuiced. We can't
be sure. We can't be sure. It could happen in
the next few days.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
I don't need your life story, just need to know
what data.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
You don't even know what day we're having this baby.
Happy time.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
It keeps changing the goalposter forever moving, so I can't
keep tracked.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
It can't move that much.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
It is that week. Gosh.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
So because we're getting in juice, Matt keeps asking for
the specific date and I'm like, tell me.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I'm like, I don't know. It's dependent on.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
I'm like, what do you mean you don't know when
you're having a baby.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
I was like, it's dependent on the hospital.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
But he keeps booking things on days and I was like,
you know, you have to keep three days free the.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Week man to get the baby. When do I start?
Speaker 4 (15:10):
When I tell you what?
Speaker 5 (15:11):
Does anyone know what's happening?
Speaker 3 (15:12):
No one actually knows.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Taking all taking a week of paternity to leave.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
How do you feel about the fact that you're going
to be juggling a newborn baby and also a brand new,
sparky radio career.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I could not ask for anything more right now.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
It's a dream come true.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
How do you feel about your your co host?
Speaker 4 (15:30):
That's the big question that everyone me included has been asking.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
You know, we get along so well. We've always had
a great relationship and you know, to sit alongside you
on air three pm.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
It's three pm pick up, there's three pm pick up.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
You know.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
It's just I'm so honored, I'm flattered and I can't
wait to see where our relationship goes from here.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
I can. Let's not let it go anywhere else.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
We have had a tumultuous relationship, which I'm sure we
want us Well, everything was great until you out of
my wedding to Australia before I got married.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
But I was closing it. I was helping you.
