Speaker 1 (00:01):
Are you ready? Good pickup with britt Hockley and Laura
burn Brady.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Your work, our windows down, my world Rison the dust
only good labs all day. I've done much, but yet
I'll get and what I want. It don't matter where rag.
This is the pickup Mandy J Manny J. Second last day?

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Is it the second last day?

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Yeah? I know.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
I've been marketing on my calendar every single morning and
it's it's mixed emotions.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Brittany, You've been having a lot of graduations in your
life at the moment, Jackie, we should do a many
j graduation for the pickup.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
I would love to, I think would make me happier.
But we had Marley's graduation this morning.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
I swear because I'm around you and your wife Laura
every day so much. I don't know how. There's been
so many graduations and assemblies and celebrations for your kids
every single day now shared calendar, there is an even two. No,
there has not no induction days, graduation days, assembly days days,
and grandparents recitals.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Of all of those events, only two were specifically graduation related.
The rest were not. But Marley had her end of
year assembly, which is also kind of like a graduation,
they give awards to the kids.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Did she get an award?

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Unfortunately, Kindy that decided not to give the Kindy kids awards.
You only get from grade one. You get like I
think they have a.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Citizenship award citizenship.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Yeah, which is a funny one. It's essentially just like
who's been a real legend?

Speaker 2 (01:34):
That's wow.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Essentially they have an academic award, the sports award, the
music award, lots of awards. But Kindy's they just had
the you finished, Kindy, here's a little piece of paper.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Do we think?

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Go on?

Speaker 2 (01:48):
When are we stopping? Are we graduating every year? Like
you just finished a year of school. I get it
from when it's like preschool into big school and I
get big school into high school. But like, we can't
just celebrate the end of every single year.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
What about New Year's? What about that? No for kids?

Speaker 2 (02:02):
For school kids? You don't graduate from Kindy ony one
and you two like, no need to raise your voice, Brittany.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
They give you only the like every kid gets an
award for Kindy. From then on, it's then they have
six awards for each year.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Grace, producer, Grace, can you weigh in on this? How
do you feel about a kidney graduation? Okay, when you
said this kidney graduation, I thought was ridiculous. End of
your assembly. Different thing, and that's fine. It's a great mess.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
I love what producer gres is on my side.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
It is Thursday. This will be your last ask uncut.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
It will and can I be honest Brittany, Yeah, I okay. Look,
I didn't give some of the previous ask uncuts my
full attention.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
No. I would say you made a bit of a
joke out of some of them.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
I didn't treat them with the level of seriousness that
it was deserving of. And I just want to say,
for my very last.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
One, redeem yourself.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
I'm gonna give it my all. So whoever's calling in,
just know that you're in safe hands.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Well we do this every single Thursdy on our podcast
Life on Kitit. We answer your questions and your biggest problems,
and today we have one from Georgia, who I think
is very It's going to be very relatable to a
lot of people. It's like a friendship based question. I
think they've had a bit of falling out. Georgia. Welcome
to the show. Thank you. What is happening with you
and your friend.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Okay, So I've been friends with this girl for probably
about like six or seven years now, and it's just
gotten to the point over like this year really where
we just started to really drift apart, and I don't
know whether the friendship is worth pursuing still or is
it something that I just need to kind of let

(03:42):
fizzle out. Yeah, I'm not really sure what to do.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
I mean, I think we need a few questions here,
like were you best friends? How close were you? And
why have you drifted apart? Was there a falling out?

Speaker 3 (03:54):
There was no falling out. Really, We've been like really close,
to be honest, like probably best friends at different points
throughout our life. But yeah, nothing really happened. And so
it's just kind of confusing because I've reached out a
few times and it kind of just keeps going around
in circles like yeah, we will catch up and then
nothing really happened from it, but then she will send

(04:15):
me something and it's just weird.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Sometimes I'm torn with these situations because on one end
of the spectrum, I think, you know, it's really hard
to find good friends if you've had that friendship there
in the past. Sure, you can redeem it, you can
repair it, get it back on track. But then at
the same time, I've had other friends where I'm like,
this is becoming hard work and I don't have time
for this, and I'm just going to cut ties and
move on with my life.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
There is that really funny meme that's so accurate. It's
like being an adult just means messaging a friend once
a week saying we should catch up soon, and then
never catching up.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
It's actually so accurate. I think if there hasn't been
a really big fooling now, like you just said, many ja,
it's hard to find really good people that you trust.
If it's just you guys not being able to find
the time, then I and say, pull your finger out.
You can make a bit more effort, like and her
as well. But if there's something more and for some reason,
I feel like there's more to it that maybe you
don't want to share it, which is fine, but if
there's something more or a little bit deeper, there's also

(05:12):
that like live Love Love saying that it's like friends
are for a season and a reason and whatever it is.
Sometimes I hate it, but you know what I mean,
Like friendships go through chapters and they change, and like,
who you were friends with at a certain point of
your life doesn't necessarily mean you're going to stay friends
with those people.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
In the next chapter, I did reach out kind of
recently and she mentioned that she was having trouble with
the friendship and that she didn't feel like she could
tell me.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Oh my gosh, she's seen your I was going.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
I had been going through a few things recently, and
she said she felt like she couldn't speak to me
then about the friendship. So not yeah, but I have
no idea what it is.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
So she's she's putting it on you but not telling
you what. She's saying, Oh, it's something you're doing or
going through or done, but she won't tell you what.
Oh I mean, that's not a true friend.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
You know what I hate when people are like I
need to speak to you, and you're like, let's speak
and they're like, not right now, and you're like, I
can't live with that level of anxiety, dude.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
I hate that.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
Okay, do you know what I think? If they're going
to raise the fact that there's issues but not going
to detail about what those issues are and how you
can overcome them. I reckon cut it?

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Yeah, drama.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, like, see you later. Bye. You sound like a
lovely person, Georgia. You deserve better.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
But in all seriousness, if somebody is not adding something
to your life anymore, if you feel exhausted after you
speak to them, if you feel like they're sucking the
life out of you and it's not going places, then
I think time is and energy a very precious commodities
that are really hard to come by. So you don't
want to be wasting your life for people that don't
deserve it. Okay, that was pretty deep and good of me.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Thank you, very modest, Brittany.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Well, sometimes sometimes I say things and I'm like, yeah,
that was good.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
My favorite was the quote that you beautifully recited from the.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Movie Love Love, Season, Reason whatever, write down, put on
a shirt. Thanks Georgia. I hope it wakes out for you.
But I think onwards and upwards for you.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, I think so true. Thanks God.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Oh that is tough. It is hard to get really
good friends as an adult, isn't it, Matt. You don't
have many.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
I don't have. I don't know. You're right, You've got me.
How lucky am I? I have?

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Really really big personal news, very exciting.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
You've got new shoes, what happened?

Speaker 2 (07:23):
That is exciting, But it's bigger than that. So my
husband Ben and I I got married this year regulations
you were there, beautiful two weddings in two different countries.
But we have been together for a bit over three years.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Wow, that's crazy, by the way, how quickly that is
the quickst three years of my life.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
I know, it feels like yesterday. And so for those
that don't know, as much as we were married and
we've been together for three years, this is going to
sound weird. Leave your judgment at the door. We've never
lived together.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Also, never farted in front of each other.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
No, there's been a few slipouts, yeah, but accidents are allowed,
no intentional fighting. That's not the huge news. I didn't drop.
But we've never lived in the same country, not even
not live together. He is a footballer, like a soccer player, yep.
And he's lived in Scotland, Romania and now lives in Italy.
And I've always just been in Australia.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Which part of Italy.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
He's in Geneva, which is too, like an hour and
a half south of Milan. It's a beautiful spot. But
he's out there living his dream. And I was going
to say kicking goals, but he's a goalkeeper. He saves them,
but he's kicking his own goals.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Very good, thank you.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
And it's been really, really tough. I'm not gonna lie.
Long distance is hard work and as much as that
has its positive moments, which it does, I think it's
the secret to keeping the flame alive a little bit.
And the honey it's like a perpetual honeymoon phase. So question, Yeah, what.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Is the longest consecutive days that you have spent together
in that three year window?

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Oh, probably like seven weeks is the longest in one block,
and then I always have to come back to Australia
and then I go back.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
So if you're in this perpetual honeymoon period, is there
any part of you? Obviously you're hugely excited, but are
you a little bit nervous? I'm like, oh my god,
we've got to do this now.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Well, this is the news I am moving to Italy.
Is yeah, it's been a long time coming and we've
done this back and forth chance for a very long time.
And he, as much as he would love to come
and play football here there's not the space for him
and he plays in the Italian league. So I have
made the decision to go there. When are you moving

(09:30):
next week? What your apartment? Well, this is the thing,
right it sounds way more dramatic than it is. I'm
not going forever and indefinitely. I am going for a
year to start with, because I still have so much
stuff back here and a lot of different work opportunities
and obviously my friends and family. I am just doing
what I do now in reverse. So right now I'm

(09:53):
based here in Australia and every like eight weeks I
go there to see him. So I'm just flipping that
I'm going to base myself over there and then every
eight weeks I'm going to come back to Australia for
a little while And that's what I'm doing. So the
first time in three years, after being married for six months,
are we actually going to live together?

Speaker 1 (10:09):
That is amazing his first congratulations. Secondly, what do you
think would be the hardest thing about living with your
now husband?

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Do you know? I do wonder because even though we
spend like seven weeks at a time, you just wonder
how much you're still hiding not hiding is in like
I mean like bad habits and stuff like that. Like
is he just staying extra clean because he's like, oh,
I've in a couple of weeks left.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
We'll still make discoveries about each other, for sure.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
If Ben is listening, is there anything that he should
be aware of, any behavior that he should no longer do?
Like for example, I always eat my wet tail on
the floor and Laura hates it.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
I am really bad. This is annoyed everyone I've ever
been with. But I always leave the cap off the
toothpaste and I don't push from the bottom, and then
the top of the toothpaste gets really clumpy and crusty.
You know those people.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
That's me.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
But I'm going to start trying on an Italian. It's
gonna be wonder It's going to be hard to be
away from my family and friends, for sure, that's going
to be the hard part. But I'm really excited, and
I just I think it's another chapter, another step in
our relationship.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
It's another chapter. And can I just before we go,
can you say anything to me in Italian? What do
you know so far?

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah? Okay, Chao, that's a beautiful well done. Thank you,
thank you.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
You'll be fine over there.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
You'll be a Vera or a Bottelia Divino rosso bierre gratz.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Why didn't you lead with that? Why did you leave
with chow?

Speaker 2 (11:31):
I just asked for a bottle of wine, red wine
with two glasses.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
You have a great time. We'll come visit you.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Yes, please do leave the goods home? Okay, next time.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Joking Brittany, I want to get your thoughts on whether
you think this is a red or a green flag
in a relationship. You're a big fan of Travis Kelcey
engaged to te Swift.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
I'm only a fan of Travis because I'm a fan
of Tea Swizz.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
He's a great guy.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
I don't know him personally, but I'm not a I'm
not an American football fan, so I hadn't really heard
of it until that.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
I don't think you need to be a fan of
football to appreciate just how amazing he is, so handsome,
so kind. I like him a lot. I'm a huge fan.
Here's a podcast and a recent guest they had on
the podcast was George Clooney. Now, he said something that
was very surprising to me at least about his relationship
with a Mile. Clooney, this is what he said. You

(12:22):
claim that you and your wife haven't got in a
fight in ten years.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
That's right?

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Are you lying? No, I'm not lying.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Travis the same questions.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Well, it's only been two and a half years, and
you're right, I haven't gotten no argument to all right,
never once?

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Honestly, you know neither of us are going to win
the arguments, or why get in it?

Speaker 1 (12:47):
Firstly, his laugh is very cute.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Also, sorry, a Mile would always win an argument. If
George and a Mile were in an argument, one hundred percent,
he's going down. That is why he doesn't.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Is she a lawyer? What does she do again?

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Yes, she is such an incredibly intelligent woman, and I
think that's why he was attracted tour in the first place.
She definitely runs that ship.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Do you think that in ten years not having any
argument at all, that's going to be some kind of
conflict avoidance issue?

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Right? I don't believe it. I would like to know
what they categorized as an argument, because I think there'd
be disagreements of such. But maybe they have great conflict resolution.
But do you know what I say to that? Go on.
And it is hard because it's not their fault. They
are billionaires. They are uber rich. She's a little billionaire.
So the things if you think about the day to
day things that a couple argue about, it's finances, it's

(13:34):
division of labor, it's who's cleaning up. But they've got cleaners,
they have people doing their shopping, they have people cooking
for them. They just have to be together and enjoy
their life.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Do you remember the last fight that you and Ben had?

Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (13:46):
What was it about?

Speaker 2 (13:46):
It was like two days ago.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
What happened?

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Well, I just told you guys, I was moving to
Italy and I asked him would he ever come here
if he didn't have a football job?

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Ooh go on?

Speaker 2 (13:58):
And he said no, what yeah? Well, and I understood it.
And it wasn't a proper fight. It was and I
never would ask him to. He's like, that would be
asking me to give up my entire career that I
worked my whole life for. And it was a hypothetical question.
You know. It's that time of the month and sometimes
girls are like, would you still love me if I
was a frog? It was like that kind of a thing.
And he did explain it and I was like, yeah, cool,

(14:18):
that's actually wild to say, would you give up your
whole career to come here and do nothing? And so
it was like an argument over that. But we don't
argue a lot either, But that's because we live on
the other side of the world to each other. But
I know that you guys, have you Laura have a
couple of tips.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
We have flights all the time. My last flight was
about the fact that I said to the kids that
they cannot watch any more TV. They too much TV
during the day.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
And don't say, Laura put it on for them, and well, yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
That's where this is going. I said, no TV, I'm
putting my foot down, absolutely not. The reaction from the
kids was a huge meltdown. I then went upstairs and
I heard Laura go, don't worry, I'll turn it on.
And I said, Laura, we've got to be on the
same page here.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
That's like everyone knows. That's the number one ruled a
pair is to even if you don't agree, you have
to get on the same page.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
And so on a Sunday night, after a week and
of parenting, the weather wasn't great, so we're stuck indoors
all day. That is what we had to fight about.
But I agree it's more important. It's not about the fights,
it's about the conflict resolution to communication afterwards. And I
just hope for George and A Miles saying that they
are having those fights that maybe there's one to be
honest about it on the podcast, but they're resolving it

(15:23):
in a very amicable way.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
I actually think Clooney is a billionaire too, so of
course they're not fighting. I'm not fighting with my billionaire
usband either.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
The billionaires fight about honestly, did you refuel the jet?
I don't remember.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Yeah, totally. Where's the caveat?

Speaker 1 (15:36):
Yeah? It must be nice.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Hey, speaking of people that aren't billionaires, let's get let
will and want to drive you home. We'll see you
to Moro. Guys,
