Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good pickup with Britt Hockley and Laura Burn.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Baby, your work, our windows down, my world, reason the
dust only good, Babs all down. I've done much, but
yeah I'm not. I'll beget and what I want. It
don't matter where rag.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
This is the pickup, Pappy hump day.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Everyone. We are talking world records here at the pickup.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Behind the scenes today Matt and Matt walked in claiming
he had a new world record.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
But I'm gonna call bs.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Look, I don't know if this is a guy thing.
Maybe it is, but tell me or not if you
find this interesting. I saw an article and it is
the world record for the longest breathold. Okay. Does that
spike your interest? Yes? I know absolutely, Okay, good good, good, good.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Good for you to me who and what it is?
Kate Winslet.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
She very good.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
She was training for Avatar and she I don't know
if this is right, but she trained she their breath
for like fourteen minutes or something.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Grace or it was.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Something ludicrous and I was like, how is that even feasible?
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Producer, Grace, can we get a confirmation on the time
by Kate Winslet.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Seven minutes and fourteen seconds.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Then there you added a lot of Mao to that one.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
For me, anything over three minutes, and I'm like, how
are you doing that?
Speaker 1 (01:17):
He just double the time.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Mayo's my middle name.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Okay, the world record. Have a guess how long do
you reckon it was?
Speaker 3 (01:23):
I'm pretty sure it is early thirty minutes. I think
it's like thirty two.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Minutes, thirty two minutes, producer Grace and he guesses from
you twenty four. Oh, it's twenty nine minutes.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I was pretty close.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
There we go.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Apparently he would suck pure oxygen for like an hour.
It would oxygenate his body to the brim.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Do you want to know something? I hate to bring
the mood down, but it's very related. But I just
saw this yesterday. There was this couple and he was
going to propose. So he took her to this you know,
in like the Maldives and stuff, sorry Maldives, you can
stay in these underwater rooms or do Bai have them
as well? And like you're sitting in bed and you
can look outside and fish swimming by. So he'd organize
(02:05):
for her to be in the room and he swum
down to propose to the window, and he held up
a laminated sheet.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
We marry me. He had the box, he was in
the water.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
She filmed the whole thing, and then when he swum up,
he went out of you, and then he never surfaced.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
He held his breath too long.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Oh my, I know.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
So don't you guys go trying to do breath.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah, only for professionals. Yeah, he needed some of that
pure oxygen. God an a shame.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Matty Jay Brittany. Guess how old I am like in
real life?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Forty four?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Okay, close?
Speaker 3 (02:36):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
That was always going to go.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
So I had to do that. I'm sorry. I apologize.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I handed that to you.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
What are you? I would? You look great? By the way,
look fantastic.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah you want to shovel keep you look really good.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
You're glowing. I've never seen you glow more. Put sunglasses
on when I look at you because you're glowing so much.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
That's the rage from you caoling me, No, I am
thirty eight years old?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
What? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Yes, I've actually wondered how old you are, but you've
never you finally revealed.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I lie a lot.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Do you have a problem?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
But interestingly I decided to do like a full blood
work up I've had chronic fatigue, and I was like,
you know what, it's the end of the year. I'm
just going to I'm not feeling great. I'm going to
do an overall test.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Now. Part of the test that I did is like
it tests.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
I think it's over eighty bio markers in your blood,
like different markers that make up your entire being.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
So it's just a blood test.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
It is, but it's the most extensive you can possibly get,
and it gives you feedback on everything, like what you're lacking.
And I had, like the reason I did it too
is my dad had a heart attack when he was
my age, like he was very young anyway, So I
went to do it and it does all of these
different markers. It did come back saying, like the reason
I have chronic fatigue is like all my white blood
(03:46):
cells that there's none, They're like basically on the floor.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Do you need them? You do?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yeah, They're pretty important.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
It's what fights infection, it's what you need to be healthy.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I'm going to put you on the spot. Yeah, what's
a good number for white blood cells? What do you want?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
This breaks down white blood cells to like five different subcategories.
There's not just like a white blood cell. There's different
parts that make it upreak.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
It's a lot, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, But there's also red blood cells.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
They were on the ground as well. Like I'm a
kneemic whatever, that's not what I was.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
It's all very bad. I'm working on it.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
You're freaking Brittany, No, because what I want to tell
you is part of this test is finding out your
biological age, so like you can be a number from
when you were born, which is obviously thirty eight. I've
been on this planet thirty eight years, but it will
tell you how old you are on the inside. So
if you get the age back that's like forty five,
You're like, great, I need to work on some stuff
because it's aged me up.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
But I feel like you do pretty well because you
do a lot of pilates. Pilarates is good for the
biological age.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
I pilates itself is good for biological age because it's
more about like your insides and your organs and your
functions and what makes up everything else.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
You Also, you don't drink too much. I feel like
you can. I have a guess. Yeah, I want you
to guess I think you'd be. I feel like twenty nine.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
What do you think, producer Grace if you had to
pick thirty four?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Okay, so you're knocking off four years. Yeah, strap in
my biological age is eleven years younger.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Even I was like, wow, you haven't puty yet.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I am twenty seven. Biologically that's eleven years younger. Like,
I am so happy that is because now, let me
tell you, thank you. I did expect more of a reaction.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Now, much like David Attenbrough, we talked about him yesterday
and him giving his secrets.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I'm going to give you wine.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I'm all he is. Talk to me.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I barely drink and when I do drink, it's a
red wine.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
And I think a red wine.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Is like really good for you. It's basically fruit. Okay,
it's got grapes and stuff. Two, everything in moderation. But
like sugar is important. Now, I know sugar's not healthy
for you, but I think when you have a little bit,
it means.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
That you don't binge on something.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
So like I just eat everything that I want without
ever cutting anything out.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Chocolate on chocolate, absolutely dark chocolate.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, now this is not many cluidvice.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
No, Well, because this is where it gets confusing because
you used to be a doctor. Was your actual job
radio radiologist?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yes, diagnostic radiographer, so close. And three, don't do drugs
in the fact, that's rocket science. For a lot of cheese.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
A lot of cheese is good for your calcium, it's
good for your bones.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
But also, I feel like you've got to throw on
exercise in here, bro.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
That was my next one.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Sorry I got too excited.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Exercise.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
I have exercised, not because I have to, because I
love it every day of my life since I was
about thirteen. I actually don't think there is there many times.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
That I don't.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Also, let's not forget the fact that you are a
former world champion body border.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yep with not to be confused with bodybuilding. No, it
was like surfing.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
No, you were not miss Universe. These are great, Thank
you so much, twenty but you impressed. Honestly, I cannot
believe it.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I actually can't.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
And this has been a real rollercoaster of a chat.
Because you told me for a second you had no
white blood cells. I was worried. But now the fact
that you're twenty seven, but you know.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
What, the last thing is that I will say it
is because I also haven't had kids, because children age years.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Oh don't they Well, when people ask how old you are,
are you just going to start saying twenty seven?
Speaker 2 (07:18):
And now I'm hoping some Google article comes off this
and it just sits me at twenty seven, Brittany.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
One thing we haven't spoken about this week, which I
think is a real miss is Miss Universe. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
We have been chatting about that the last couple of weeks.
That's been a lot of controversy.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I think we've spoken more about Miss Universe in the
last couple of weeks than I have my entire life. Yeah,
which is a great thing.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
What's happening now?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I can't get enough? Okay, I want to talk about
former Miss Jamaica. Her name is April Jackson. Now she
does something with their kids that has outraged people online.
Parents are now coming for her. Guess what she doesn't
give them?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
What doesn't she give them? I hope she gives them love.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
She gives them love. Ago, I'll tell you she doesn't
do any gifts. She doesn't do birthdays, Christmas or whatever.
And she says here I quote, I want my girls
to value people, not things.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I did Actually see this.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
This is kicking off right, Like a lot of people
were angry about it. A lot of people calling a
selfish and like you're only not spending money with your
kids because you want to spend it.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
On yourself, which like, good on it. I don't know if.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Like what I'm about to say is the minority or majority.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Opinion, but I kind of get what she's doing.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I kind of think if you are giving your kids
that many experiences, because she said she's been traveling the
world with them, like giving.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Them loads of Ye, they're living a great life, living.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
A great life.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
I kind of think that, like if somebody asked me
if I would rather like travel the world and have
experiences or just get like a gift that I'm going
to use for a week and the never views again,
I'd be wanting to travel the world.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I do think when people feel outrage enough to come
for another pair and knowing that these kids look happy,
they're healthy, they're safe.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Rembarbados, Yeah, they're having.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
A pretty good life. Like let's, you know, focus on
the more important things, the kids that are in danger.
But can I ask you something, Britney, Yes, do you
have a core memory at all? From your birthday or Christmas?
Was there a particular gift that stands out as a
great memory for you?
Speaker 2 (09:24):
No, let me tell you this.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
We should be coming for Britney's parents.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
No, because I can tell you all the core holidays
that I had. And this is maybe why I'm leaning
more into I understand what she's doing.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I saw a video last night.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
I'm going to share it with you, Matt after this
because it was very powerful and it was just coincidental
that this came.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Up with my algorithm. It was a mom.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
She has three kids that ranged from like four to
eight or something like that, and she goes up to
them all and she films them and she says, hey,
what was your favorite present from last year's Christmas? And
no prompting, nothing, she just asked the question. They think
about it for a while. In the first one says
I don't remember. I'm sorry, Mom, I don't remember. She's like,
that's okay, and then she says, what was your favorite
(10:06):
holiday we took last year? And they start rattling them off,
and she asked all three kids, and not one of
them can name one gift they got the year before,
because they all named the holidays.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
She's obviously getting pretty bad gifts, isn't she no upper
gift game.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
It's true, It's true. I don't forget.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
As a kid, I was raised by a single mum.
There was five of us. We didn't have a lot
of money at all in our household, but there would
be one big gift that we would get each year,
and I remember vividly what these were like. One was
a cricket bat. I wanted it so badly and I
had to wait all year, and finally on Christmas morning,
I got that cricket bat. There was a new bicycle
(10:43):
as I remember getting.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
No, don't get me wrong, I got a great gift
from my parents. But what I'm saying is I remember
the camping trip that we did over the Christmas holidays
more so than I remember what I got on that Christmas,
If that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
It's a beautiful thing, the anticipation of a child when
you're counting down the day to your birthday or Christmas.
I loved it. I loved it. Do I enjoy holidays absolutely,
But I think you can just give them one little gift.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Sorry, I didn't mean a talking baby voice. I promise
I will never do.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
That again made me feel viscerally uncomfortable. I agree a
little bit of a Christmas present.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
I agree that you shouldn't be going sands gifts completely.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Do I think that we do too much?
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Yes, you see those videos online now where there's like
one hundred gifts wrapped under a tree.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Too much. Your kids are not going to remember it.
You're doing that for you, not them.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Wind it back a little bit, give them something that
they've really wanted.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
But then I think it's about experiences.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
And I'm not saying take them on a holiday, Like
that's that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
We can't all do that.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
April Mede the former Miss Universe from Jamaica. She says
she doesn't do any gift nothing, nothing at all. I mean,
like you do you, but I want to give my kids.
I want to give you something.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Yeah, but if my parents said, hey, you're gonna have
a cricket bat or go to the mold Eves, I'm
going to the mold Eves.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Like I'm sorry, I mean, cricket bat's like a couple hundre.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
But that's my point, right, Like these kids are doing
just fine. People need to lay up as.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
A parent, like please choose the cricket.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
But can Afflord, Hey, Maddie Jay. Big day for the
kids today. Today is officially day one of the social
media band for sixteen year old and under.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
They are not happy.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I feel like this has coming around really quickly. I
feel like it was just yesterday when we first started
having the conversation about potentially doing this. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
And so it's platforms like Facebook, Instagram, threads.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Which threads is that newer one.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
I don't really use it as we It's more like
you just make comments, right, You're not actually posting.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Stuff like Twitter, but on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Yeah, it's like Instagram's Twitter great, thank you producer Grace, Reddit, Snapchat, TikTok, Twitch, YouTube,
and x which is formally Twitter. So they are all
the platforms affected. And it's because it's been so much
research on how detrimental social media is to kids health.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Do you think Brittany is obviously two opinions here. Those
who think this is great, we should have been done
ages ago. Others who feel like kids are being hard
done by, especially those are rural areas of Australia. They're
going to feel more isolated. But do you feel like
this is a good thing?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Do you know I really do, and I listen and
I understand.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
How to a fourteen, fifteen, sixteen year old this feels
like the biggest thing in the world, and that is
because they are so invested in it. They're clocking up
eight nine, ten hours a day online on social media,
and that's they're still going to school in that time.
They're still and I'm like, okay, so where's the time
for sports, where's the time for your your friendships? Having
time away from your phone. I understand it's going to
(13:33):
feel like there's a really big hole. And a lot
of them have come out and said, you know, this
is how we connect with each other, and I understand that,
but that's because you don't know a world where you
can connect in any other way.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Do you Did you ever use MSN Messenger?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Of course.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
You've run home from school and you jump on like
chat to your friends that you were just.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
With at school.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
So people can they can still get in contact with
each other exactly is emsen Messenger? Is that safe? Is
that even the thing anymore that's still around?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
It's not a thing. But they were saying, you know.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Kids say bad Messenger. That's what we need right now.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Kids are saying this is how we communicate. You can
still communicate. We're not locking you in your bedroom, and
you still have phones, you still have ways to talk
to each other. You can still text message.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
It's just to get your your face and your eyes
out of a screen in a fake world that's not
real life.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I have two thoughts. One is I think it runs
the risk though of kids under the age of sixteen
running to another platform that is not counted as one
of the platforms that is going to be banned. And
just so you know, if they are found guilty, they
can face fines of up to I think over forty
million dollars, like they're trying to enforce this with huge penalties.
(14:39):
But I think there's always going to be new platforms
popping up that are under the radar.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
And that's the.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Thing, like, are these kids going to run and jump
onto another platform?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
But overall there's been far too much research that is
so scary on what it's doing to kids' mental health.
They can't escape it. They're there all day with it
at school, they go home, if they're having trouble, then
they're bombarded with online. I think once they reset and
it becomes then new normal.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
I think they'll be happier for it.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I agree. I think it's great that it's at the
forefront of so many conversations right now. Social media has
blown up so much faster. Obviously, legislation takes a little
while to follow suit. But I think one thing I
would love to see more of is responsibility on the
platforms for imposing harsher punishments for those who are breaking
the rules of bullying and being abusive. I've had people before,
(15:30):
and I'm very lucky the number of haters and troubles
that I get is minimal. But those people who come
at me if I'm informing the platform that I'm receiving
this type of behavior from a user, all they suggest
that you do is block them. If I block that person,
all they can do is create a brand new account
seconds later and continue bullying and being a troll. I
think there needs to be more responsibility on the platforms
(15:53):
to impose harsher punishments to users who are using the
platforms inappropriately.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
I agree, But if you think about it, there's never
going to be a world we live in where every
single troll and bully and dangerous person can be monitored,
which is why I think they're like, you know what
the best thing to do is stop these young, vulnerable
people with their brains and frontal lobes still developing from
being in these precarious situations.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
But if you're reporting it, they need to do more
than just say, oh, just block them totally move on.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
You'd be fine. Yeah, I'd love to see what's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
There are a couple of kiddies that are trying to
take the government to court, so let's see what happens.
By the time it goes to court, they'll be seventeen
and able to go on legally. Hey, that is it
for us today.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
We're going to get out of here.
Good pickup with Britt Hockley and Laura Burn.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Baby, your work, our windows down, my world, reason the
dust only good, Babs all down. I've done much, but
yeah I'm not. I'll beget and what I want. It
don't matter where rag.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
This is the pickup, Pappy hump day.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Everyone. We are talking world records here at the pickup.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Behind the scenes today Matt and Matt walked in claiming
he had a new world record.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
But I'm gonna call bs.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Look, I don't know if this is a guy thing.
Maybe it is, but tell me or not if you
find this interesting. I saw an article and it is
the world record for the longest breathold. Okay. Does that
spike your interest? Yes? I know absolutely, Okay, good good, good, good.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Good for you to me who and what it is?
Kate Winslet.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
She very good.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
She was training for Avatar and she I don't know
if this is right, but she trained she their breath
for like fourteen minutes or something.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Grace or it was.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Something ludicrous and I was like, how is that even feasible?
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Producer, Grace, can we get a confirmation on the time
by Kate Winslet.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Seven minutes and fourteen seconds.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Then there you added a lot of Mao to that one.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
For me, anything over three minutes, and I'm like, how
are you doing that?
Speaker 1 (01:17):
He just double the time.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Mayo's my middle name.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Okay, the world record. Have a guess how long do
you reckon it was?
Speaker 3 (01:23):
I'm pretty sure it is early thirty minutes. I think
it's like thirty two.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Minutes, thirty two minutes, producer Grace and he guesses from
you twenty four. Oh, it's twenty nine minutes.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I was pretty close.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
There we go.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Apparently he would suck pure oxygen for like an hour.
It would oxygenate his body to the brim.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Do you want to know something? I hate to bring
the mood down, but it's very related. But I just
saw this yesterday. There was this couple and he was
going to propose. So he took her to this you know,
in like the Maldives and stuff, sorry Maldives, you can
stay in these underwater rooms or do Bai have them
as well? And like you're sitting in bed and you
can look outside and fish swimming by. So he'd organize
(02:05):
for her to be in the room and he swum
down to propose to the window, and he held up
a laminated sheet.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
We marry me. He had the box, he was in
the water.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
She filmed the whole thing, and then when he swum up,
he went out of you, and then he never surfaced.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
He held his breath too long.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Oh my, I know.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
So don't you guys go trying to do breath.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah, only for professionals. Yeah, he needed some of that
pure oxygen. God an a shame.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Matty Jay Brittany. Guess how old I am like in
real life?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Forty four?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Okay, close?
Speaker 3 (02:36):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
That was always going to go.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
So I had to do that. I'm sorry. I apologize.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I handed that to you.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
What are you? I would? You look great? By the way,
look fantastic.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah you want to shovel keep you look really good.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
You're glowing. I've never seen you glow more. Put sunglasses
on when I look at you because you're glowing so much.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
That's the rage from you caoling me, No, I am
thirty eight years old?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
What? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Yes, I've actually wondered how old you are, but you've
never you finally revealed.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I lie a lot.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Do you have a problem?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
But interestingly I decided to do like a full blood
work up I've had chronic fatigue, and I was like,
you know what, it's the end of the year. I'm
just going to I'm not feeling great. I'm going to
do an overall test.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Now. Part of the test that I did is like
it tests.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
I think it's over eighty bio markers in your blood,
like different markers that make up your entire being.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
So it's just a blood test.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
It is, but it's the most extensive you can possibly get,
and it gives you feedback on everything, like what you're lacking.
And I had, like the reason I did it too
is my dad had a heart attack when he was
my age, like he was very young anyway, So I
went to do it and it does all of these
different markers. It did come back saying, like the reason
I have chronic fatigue is like all my white blood
(03:46):
cells that there's none, They're like basically on the floor.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Do you need them? You do?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yeah, They're pretty important.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
It's what fights infection, it's what you need to be healthy.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I'm going to put you on the spot. Yeah, what's
a good number for white blood cells? What do you want?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
This breaks down white blood cells to like five different subcategories.
There's not just like a white blood cell. There's different
parts that make it upreak.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
It's a lot, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, But there's also red blood cells.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
They were on the ground as well. Like I'm a
kneemic whatever, that's not what I was.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
It's all very bad. I'm working on it.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
You're freaking Brittany, No, because what I want to tell
you is part of this test is finding out your
biological age, so like you can be a number from
when you were born, which is obviously thirty eight. I've
been on this planet thirty eight years, but it will
tell you how old you are on the inside. So
if you get the age back that's like forty five,
You're like, great, I need to work on some stuff
because it's aged me up.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
But I feel like you do pretty well because you
do a lot of pilates. Pilarates is good for the
biological age.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
I pilates itself is good for biological age because it's
more about like your insides and your organs and your
functions and what makes up everything else.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
You Also, you don't drink too much. I feel like
you can. I have a guess. Yeah, I want you
to guess I think you'd be. I feel like twenty nine.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
What do you think, producer Grace if you had to
pick thirty four?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Okay, so you're knocking off four years. Yeah, strap in
my biological age is eleven years younger.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Even I was like, wow, you haven't puty yet.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I am twenty seven. Biologically that's eleven years younger. Like,
I am so happy that is because now, let me
tell you, thank you. I did expect more of a reaction.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Now, much like David Attenbrough, we talked about him yesterday
and him giving his secrets.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I'm going to give you wine.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I'm all he is. Talk to me.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I barely drink and when I do drink, it's a
red wine.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
And I think a red wine.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Is like really good for you. It's basically fruit. Okay,
it's got grapes and stuff. Two, everything in moderation. But
like sugar is important. Now, I know sugar's not healthy
for you, but I think when you have a little bit,
it means.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
That you don't binge on something.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
So like I just eat everything that I want without
ever cutting anything out.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Chocolate on chocolate, absolutely dark chocolate.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, now this is not many cluidvice.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
No, Well, because this is where it gets confusing because
you used to be a doctor. Was your actual job
radio radiologist?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yes, diagnostic radiographer, so close. And three, don't do drugs
in the fact, that's rocket science. For a lot of cheese.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
A lot of cheese is good for your calcium, it's
good for your bones.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
But also, I feel like you've got to throw on
exercise in here, bro.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
That was my next one.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Sorry I got too excited.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Exercise.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
I have exercised, not because I have to, because I
love it every day of my life since I was
about thirteen. I actually don't think there is there many times.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
That I don't.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Also, let's not forget the fact that you are a
former world champion body border.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yep with not to be confused with bodybuilding. No, it
was like surfing.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
No, you were not miss Universe. These are great, Thank
you so much, twenty but you impressed. Honestly, I cannot
believe it.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I actually can't.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
And this has been a real rollercoaster of a chat.
Because you told me for a second you had no
white blood cells. I was worried. But now the fact
that you're twenty seven, but you know.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
What, the last thing is that I will say it
is because I also haven't had kids, because children age years.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Oh don't they Well, when people ask how old you are,
are you just going to start saying twenty seven?
Speaker 2 (07:18):
And now I'm hoping some Google article comes off this
and it just sits me at twenty seven, Brittany.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
One thing we haven't spoken about this week, which I
think is a real miss is Miss Universe. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
We have been chatting about that the last couple of weeks.
That's been a lot of controversy.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I think we've spoken more about Miss Universe in the
last couple of weeks than I have my entire life. Yeah,
which is a great thing.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
What's happening now?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I can't get enough? Okay, I want to talk about
former Miss Jamaica. Her name is April Jackson. Now she
does something with their kids that has outraged people online.
Parents are now coming for her. Guess what she doesn't
give them?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
What doesn't she give them? I hope she gives them love.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
She gives them love. Ago, I'll tell you she doesn't
do any gifts. She doesn't do birthdays, Christmas or whatever.
And she says here I quote, I want my girls
to value people, not things.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I did Actually see this.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
This is kicking off right, Like a lot of people
were angry about it. A lot of people calling a
selfish and like you're only not spending money with your
kids because you want to spend it.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
On yourself, which like, good on it. I don't know if.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Like what I'm about to say is the minority or majority.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Opinion, but I kind of get what she's doing.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I kind of think if you are giving your kids
that many experiences, because she said she's been traveling the
world with them, like giving.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Them loads of Ye, they're living a great life, living.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
A great life.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
I kind of think that, like if somebody asked me
if I would rather like travel the world and have
experiences or just get like a gift that I'm going
to use for a week and the never views again,
I'd be wanting to travel the world.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I do think when people feel outrage enough to come
for another pair and knowing that these kids look happy,
they're healthy, they're safe.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Rembarbados, Yeah, they're having.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
A pretty good life. Like let's, you know, focus on
the more important things, the kids that are in danger.
But can I ask you something, Britney, Yes, do you
have a core memory at all? From your birthday or Christmas?
Was there a particular gift that stands out as a
great memory for you?
Speaker 2 (09:24):
No, let me tell you this.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
We should be coming for Britney's parents.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
No, because I can tell you all the core holidays
that I had. And this is maybe why I'm leaning
more into I understand what she's doing.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I saw a video last night.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
I'm going to share it with you, Matt after this
because it was very powerful and it was just coincidental
that this came.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Up with my algorithm. It was a mom.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
She has three kids that ranged from like four to
eight or something like that, and she goes up to
them all and she films them and she says, hey,
what was your favorite present from last year's Christmas? And
no prompting, nothing, she just asked the question. They think
about it for a while. In the first one says
I don't remember. I'm sorry, Mom, I don't remember. She's like,
that's okay, and then she says, what was your favorite
(10:06):
holiday we took last year? And they start rattling them off,
and she asked all three kids, and not one of
them can name one gift they got the year before,
because they all named the holidays.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
She's obviously getting pretty bad gifts, isn't she no upper
gift game.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
It's true, It's true. I don't forget.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
As a kid, I was raised by a single mum.
There was five of us. We didn't have a lot
of money at all in our household, but there would
be one big gift that we would get each year,
and I remember vividly what these were like. One was
a cricket bat. I wanted it so badly and I
had to wait all year, and finally on Christmas morning,
I got that cricket bat. There was a new bicycle
(10:43):
as I remember getting.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
No, don't get me wrong, I got a great gift
from my parents. But what I'm saying is I remember
the camping trip that we did over the Christmas holidays
more so than I remember what I got on that Christmas,
If that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
It's a beautiful thing, the anticipation of a child when
you're counting down the day to your birthday or Christmas.
I loved it. I loved it. Do I enjoy holidays absolutely,
But I think you can just give them one little gift.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Sorry, I didn't mean a talking baby voice. I promise
I will never do.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
That again made me feel viscerally uncomfortable. I agree a
little bit of a Christmas present.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
I agree that you shouldn't be going sands gifts completely.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Do I think that we do too much?
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Yes, you see those videos online now where there's like
one hundred gifts wrapped under a tree.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Too much. Your kids are not going to remember it.
You're doing that for you, not them.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Wind it back a little bit, give them something that
they've really wanted.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
But then I think it's about experiences.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
And I'm not saying take them on a holiday, Like
that's that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
We can't all do that.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
April Mede the former Miss Universe from Jamaica. She says
she doesn't do any gift nothing, nothing at all. I mean,
like you do you, but I want to give my kids.
I want to give you something.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Yeah, but if my parents said, hey, you're gonna have
a cricket bat or go to the mold Eves, I'm
going to the mold Eves.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Like I'm sorry, I mean, cricket bat's like a couple hundre.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
But that's my point, right, Like these kids are doing
just fine. People need to lay up as.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
A parent, like please choose the cricket.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
But can Afflord, Hey, Maddie Jay. Big day for the
kids today. Today is officially day one of the social
media band for sixteen year old and under.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
They are not happy.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I feel like this has coming around really quickly. I
feel like it was just yesterday when we first started
having the conversation about potentially doing this. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
And so it's platforms like Facebook, Instagram, threads.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Which threads is that newer one.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
I don't really use it as we It's more like
you just make comments, right, You're not actually posting.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Stuff like Twitter, but on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Yeah, it's like Instagram's Twitter great, thank you producer Grace, Reddit, Snapchat, TikTok, Twitch, YouTube,
and x which is formally Twitter. So they are all
the platforms affected. And it's because it's been so much
research on how detrimental social media is to kids health.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Do you think Brittany is obviously two opinions here. Those
who think this is great, we should have been done
ages ago. Others who feel like kids are being hard
done by, especially those are rural areas of Australia. They're
going to feel more isolated. But do you feel like
this is a good thing?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Do you know I really do, and I listen and
I understand.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
How to a fourteen, fifteen, sixteen year old this feels
like the biggest thing in the world, and that is
because they are so invested in it. They're clocking up
eight nine, ten hours a day online on social media,
and that's they're still going to school in that time.
They're still and I'm like, okay, so where's the time
for sports, where's the time for your your friendships? Having
time away from your phone. I understand it's going to
(13:33):
feel like there's a really big hole. And a lot
of them have come out and said, you know, this
is how we connect with each other, and I understand that,
but that's because you don't know a world where you
can connect in any other way.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Do you Did you ever use MSN Messenger?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Of course.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
You've run home from school and you jump on like
chat to your friends that you were just.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
With at school.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
So people can they can still get in contact with
each other exactly is emsen Messenger? Is that safe? Is
that even the thing anymore that's still around?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
It's not a thing. But they were saying, you know.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Kids say bad Messenger. That's what we need right now.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Kids are saying this is how we communicate. You can
still communicate. We're not locking you in your bedroom, and
you still have phones, you still have ways to talk
to each other. You can still text message.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
It's just to get your your face and your eyes
out of a screen in a fake world that's not
real life.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I have two thoughts. One is I think it runs
the risk though of kids under the age of sixteen
running to another platform that is not counted as one
of the platforms that is going to be banned. And
just so you know, if they are found guilty, they
can face fines of up to I think over forty
million dollars, like they're trying to enforce this with huge penalties.
(14:39):
But I think there's always going to be new platforms
popping up that are under the radar.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
And that's the.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Thing, like, are these kids going to run and jump
onto another platform?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
But overall there's been far too much research that is
so scary on what it's doing to kids' mental health.
They can't escape it. They're there all day with it
at school, they go home, if they're having trouble, then
they're bombarded with online. I think once they reset and
it becomes then new normal.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
I think they'll be happier for it.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I agree. I think it's great that it's at the
forefront of so many conversations right now. Social media has
blown up so much faster. Obviously, legislation takes a little
while to follow suit. But I think one thing I
would love to see more of is responsibility on the
platforms for imposing harsher punishments for those who are breaking
the rules of bullying and being abusive. I've had people before,
(15:30):
and I'm very lucky the number of haters and troubles
that I get is minimal. But those people who come
at me if I'm informing the platform that I'm receiving
this type of behavior from a user, all they suggest
that you do is block them. If I block that person,
all they can do is create a brand new account
seconds later and continue bullying and being a troll. I
think there needs to be more responsibility on the platforms
(15:53):
to impose harsher punishments to users who are using the
platforms inappropriately.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
I agree, But if you think about it, there's never
going to be a world we live in where every
single troll and bully and dangerous person can be monitored,
which is why I think they're like, you know what
the best thing to do is stop these young, vulnerable
people with their brains and frontal lobes still developing from
being in these precarious situations.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
But if you're reporting it, they need to do more
than just say, oh, just block them totally move on.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
You'd be fine. Yeah, I'd love to see what's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
There are a couple of kiddies that are trying to
take the government to court, so let's see what happens.
By the time it goes to court, they'll be seventeen
and able to go on legally. Hey, that is it
for us today.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
We're going to get out of here.
