Speaker 1 (00:10):
I heard podcasts, hear more Kiss podcast playlist and listen
live on the Free iHeart app with Brittle and Laura
Ben Brady or what our Windows down?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
If my world.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Reason the dust only good bab dougle down.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
I've done much, but yeah I'm not. I'll big get
and what I want.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
It don't matter where that done. This is the pickup.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Happy Thursday, everybody, Maddy Jay, Happy Thursday.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Hey, I have something I want to run by you.
I mean to think this is a good idea.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Go on, I know this is probably isn't the best
way to start our show. Might feel a bit grim,
but it's an important conversation. I think everyone needs to
know what they want to do when they pass away,
when they end this life.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
You need to know how you want to go.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Okay, sure, and there are.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Some not how you want to go, so, but what
do you want to happen? You know what would happen after?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
So you know, we've spoken a couple of times about
the unusual things you can do, and like there are
some people might not know, but you can be cremated
and turned into jewelry. So like family can wear you
in a ring or a necklace and I'm like, that's.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I think that's cool, that's weird, that's so strange. I
don't want to wear anti Gladys on my wrist.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
All of anti gladis is maybe.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Like a I don't want to hear I got a finger.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Well, there's something new that I think could be me.
I have just seen it.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
You can get cremated.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Then they'll take your ashes and they put it into
a canister and they launch you like a firework and
you explode in the sky.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
She's like a double cremation.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Yeah, but it's like a celebration double cremation.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
So like picture my wedding mat. You were there, you know,
we were in Bali.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Fireworks were very low to the ground and people getting
burnt by them, Like you could have the last laugh
on your family then sprinkle.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Over them at your wedding. I got hit with the fireworks.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
I don't say that.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
So I guess, yeah, do I want to have like
one last bit of connection with my auntie who's passed away.
She hits me in the forehead.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
But don't you think that's cool? Think about it.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
All your friends and family are standing somewhere watching the celebration,
and then these beautiful fireworks go up, and you know,
it is like sending somebody off.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I think it's cool.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I think it's a lot better than scattering your ashes,
because I don't know if anyone's ever done that before.
But normally it's up on a hill somewhere, it's always windy.
You always end up with half of it on you.
It's very awkward. So the fireworks is actually a very
smart idea.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
You end up eating half, don't you.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Matt.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
It's Thursday. Guess what time it is.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I know the answer to this question because it's my
favorite segment. It's time for ask on Carts.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Yeah, this is what we do, Laura and I. I say,
we on our podcast Life on Cut podcast.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Every single week where people writing the biggest problems that
they have something they need a little bit of a
helping hand with. And it's good that we've got you
for a little while, Matt, because a bit of a
male opinion.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Usually it's just a male female.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Oh I'm not very smart.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
You don't have to be smart.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Sorry?
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Is that the right answer? Is that what I was
supposed to say?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Thank you? I'll take it.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Hey, we have it.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Emily on the line today, Emily is talking postpartum.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Hey, and welcome to the show. What's going on?
Speaker 5 (03:12):
So my partner and I had a baby about six
weeks ago, or I had the baby more to the point, congratulations,
well done, thank you. Everything is been going well. But
now we're getting to a six week mark. My partner
has I wouldn't say you've been too harsh about it,
but he has said that he feels that the spark
(03:33):
has been lost because we're no longer intimate for the
time being.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Well, I'm your six weeks postpartum.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Yeah, so I don't know. I'm very frustrated by it.
I mean, six weeks is basically when they're like, don't
have intercourse. But I'm just not feeling ready and just
him complaining about just makes me feel so bad.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
I mean, I know what I want to say here,
but it's probably not very diplomatic. On radio, Matt, you
give a male opinion. You guys have actually in this position.
You guys had Poppy what a month ago?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I think it's four or five months, No, four weeks.
It's not important about me and Poppy. Let's not get
half of those details, Britney. But I've had three children,
Emma and one thing that I now appreciate is that
there is no spark between if ever I get the
two partners, when you have a child in the mix,
it's just it's unavoidable. The spark will dwindle. And that
(04:27):
is such a normal part of having a newborn in
the mix because you can't focus on each other. You're
trying to keep this baby alive, and this baby is
just sucking the life out of you. Well, it's been
sucking the life out of even nine months now it's
continuing to do that outside the womb. It's really bloody hard,
and I think your husband needs to appreciate that the
spark will be gone for a period of time, but
(04:48):
then it will come back. But you have to be
really patient and in the meantime, whilst you're waiting for
that spark to be reignited, just make sure you're keeping
that house as clean as possible. You're cooking as much
food as you can.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
And this is where I kick Matt off the show. Sorry,
you talk about Emily doing that or the husband. You're
making it sound like Emily needs to keep me happy.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Come on, if anyone to clarify it.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
And I just looked at each other and thought, well,
this is where.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I'm talking about the husband. Emma, relaxed. This is not
for you. You put your feet up, you make sure you
keep that baby alive and healthy. This is for the husband.
He needs to make sure. Specifically, the husband needs to
make sure the house is clean. He should be doing
all of that work himself.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Look, I feel much the same because this is our
first baby. So that's why I just wasn't sure what
sort of direction I should be taking, Like, you don't
know what you don't know, but what I do know
is get the hell off.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Of me, exactly. And I think at the end of
the day, it comes down to you. Sorry, it doesn't
come down to him. Like you're the one.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Whose body has changed, your hormones have changed.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
You're not sleeping, you are literally physically feeding a baby
and keeping it alive.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
It's not cool to be making you feel bad.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
And I know he's probably not intentionally doing that, but
maybe you just need to sit down and explain to
him and say this will happen when it happens.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
But like I am hanging on for dear life here, but.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Just know there is not one cup out there in
the first few months that is going ooh, let's do it.
That spark is there.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
This is great, Like you've just had a baby come
out of your body, the last thing you wanted something
else going in there.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Yeah, exactly. Maybe I just need to tell his mother
and she can deal with him.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yeah, that's also an option that I was about to say,
all right on that.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
No, good luck, congratulations.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
If anything, you can go and find his exact chat
on demand, like search the pickup and you can play
him this back play your husband this conversation where you
can hear Maddy Jay saying this.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
If he's not listening to.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Just give him my number as well. I don't worry.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
That'd be great. Thank you so much, guys, I appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Thanks Sam.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
It's time for the big reveal here at the pickup
between Matty Jay and myself.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Look, it's not been an easy week. You know. We're
juggling children. I've got a newborn only a few weeks old.
But I have been slaving away, Brittany, just working tirelessly
making sure this costume is the best creation possible. I
want this to be a standout year for Marl and
her laboo boo.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Well here we are right for the last week or two,
Maddie Jay and I we've taken a daughter each, one
of Mattie Jay's daughters.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
He has three. I have taken Lola, she is four, not.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Physically taken her, but my challenge was to make her
a Halloween costume. And you have Marley now. They got
to pick what they wanted. Lola, my little Lola Derby.
She went pretty mainstream.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
She went a witch.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I tried to skew towards a mermaid. We tried to
skew towards unicorns. I wanted to get creative. I had
a glitter gun at home and I wanted to use it,
but she wanted the most plain straighty one eighty witch black.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
You say it's mainstream, but let's be here. It's a
classic Halloween classic.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Yeah, cliche. So here it is, Matt I've got the
hat on. As you can say.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
The hat looks really phenomenal. I'm very impressive. It's almost
like a bit of a Harry Potter esque.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
It's the flop on the side.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
It's a good side flop. I love that.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
I would be gryffindor what's that? And here is her suit?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
So her suit I've gone for a full length witch
gown because I thought maybe it can maybe be more
like she's going to a witch ball wow.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Because I didn't want to it had to be a witch.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
And then some extra sparkles. So we've gone full length
to the ground. And then as you can see here,
I've cut some edges on it. So I've cut some
to make it look a bit fashionably witch.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yeah, it's nice for those wondering. It's an all black
long arm gown gown and it has almost like a
pirate esque cut. Yes to the hem I.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Want an ambiguous hang on, is she a witch gown?
Is she a Harry Potter witch? Is she a pirate witch?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
It's a nice smaugas board of all those things put together.
I look, I'll be honest. I think it's a great effort.
You've done a good job.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
I did make a wand.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
I had made it from my backyard with a stick,
and it was good. But it actually Delilah, my dog
ate in the kike. It was a magic wand and
she ate.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
It classic Delilah. Look, I think it's good. I'm not
the one here who's going to have to pass judgment.
It will have to go to low I'll give it
to her tomorrow. We'll get her reaction.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Beautiful.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
But look, I mean, what have you got? I do think?
And I just for one second critique you, if I
may be critical.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Literally it's a plane. Which costume is a critique it go?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I just think you could have you had so many options,
you could have embellished it just slightly.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
But she said no embellishment, she said black.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Not Hang on a second, let's not twist her words.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
She called me that Laura and I talk all the time.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
That's not true at all. But I've got my costume here?
Speaker 4 (09:36):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
And get ready for this? Let me just hang on
a second. I'm going to lean down and pick it up.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Oh my god, that is so good.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Hey, what do you think about this? This is a
green la boo boo costume?
Speaker 4 (09:49):
It is. I am so impressed. I actually had no
idea you were going to go all out.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I haven't slept in a number of days, Brittany, I'm exhausted,
I'm tired. But was it worth it? Absolutely? Look at
this creation?
Speaker 4 (10:03):
How did you do those teeth with like.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Little perspects pieces that I had to cut by hand
glue them on, And it's even got little rainbow Fluffy
is do you know what's going to happen? What's that?
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I know you told me earlier in the week that,
like you said, when a kid wants what it wants,
you can't change it. I can guarantee you I have
made Lola exactly what she wants in terms of a
plane witch. She's going to see how fun that labubo
is and she's gonna not want this week.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Okay. My only concern the last few years Halloween has
been really, really hot. We always get hit with a
heat wave right on the time of trick or Tree,
So I'm wondering, is it too hot for Maley.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
May I think you have to cut the head off
so that it can come on and off. And it's
not a one piece.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Well, the mask is detachable, so if it does get
too hot, we can take the mask off. It breathes.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
He really thought of it all, haven't you?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Thank you?
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Well?
Speaker 3 (10:49):
We have a five hundred dollar voucher for Spotlight to
give away.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
You guys have been.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Sending in your pictures of your costumes for Halloween and
they are so good. This one has to be one
of the scariest ones we've ever had. Anaka canngrause. You've
won five hundred dollars to spend at spotlight, but this
is like she's five, the little girl.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
It's Chucky, Chucky the dog.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Scary Chucky with their like knife.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I hope that's a prop knife. What's very real? I
mean it's a great costume. Imagine coming that was knocking
on your door. You'll be petrified.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
I'd be throwing the twigs at it.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Hey, Maddie Jay, we're talking animal encounters, and can I
tell you I encountered a wild animal today.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
It was you.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
You're so much better than that bricke. But look, imagine this, okay,
Imagine you're on vacation, having a great time. You get
a little cocktail, You're laying down on your some bed
by the pool. You take your towel off, you got
to jump into the water. You look down and what
do you say? A crocodile in the pool.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
I tell you, I've seen this all over the internet.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Wild doesn't up and Port Douglas.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
I can't bathom because like you know up there that
you can't swim in the ocean at certain times, right,
you know there's crocs that could be there. There's all
these like stinging animals that could drop you dead in
a minute.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
But you just think that the one place you're safe
is the pool.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Right.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Do you imagine you dive in underwater? You love cutting
laps in those pools. Imagine you run head into a cross.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
And I was little, I used to be so petrified
of going into the deep end and sharks. But imagine
those kids are opening their eyes and they're being an
actual crocodile in the water. It's a miracle. No one
was hurt. But I was wondering breet off the back
of this. Have you ever on holiday had an encounter
maybe it was life threatening with an animal? You know.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I've actually had a few, now that we say it,
actually I've had three that come to.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Mind straight away.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Of course you have one.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I was in the Amazon jungle on this like adventure. Yeah,
we were doing two weeks camping and trying to live
off the land and stuff like.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
We were catching.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Piranhas and like literally eating coconut worms and stuff like.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
We were on a survivalist thing, me and my sister.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Sounds lovely. It was, I love it does that I
know were relaxing holidays.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
It was one of my favorite trips i've ever done.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Anyway, I was chasing wild pigs along the Amazon River
as you do, yep, and.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
At least speaking little pigs.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
They were so quick that I to eat the pig.
I just wanted to.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
They were just like, can you catch a pig? I
wasn't going to eat it.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
I was stick to the fish, but I broke my foot,
my toes I.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Hit a big rock when I was chasing the pig.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I'd say, it's okay.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Okay, I'll give you.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
No lie, No no time for that, hang on, no,
no time. So my story, Fritt is I was on
Fraser Island, Okay. I was walking to the convenience store
with my older brother. I didn't know this, but at
the time it was mating season. As we're walking one
way across the road, two dingos are walking in the
opposite direction. And when I was younger, I used to
(13:40):
be able to do a very convincing dog bark.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Okay, give us, thank you, sorry who told you that
was convincing?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
So no, for those listening, there's not a dog in
the room. That is just me pretending to be a
dog with my bark. I did that bark at the
dingo both of them stop in their tracks.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
And they made it with you.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
They turned and then nine months later I became a mother.
The dingos came towards me. I was chased. I was
chased for about two hundred meters by the dim goes.
They grabbed my shorts like the pig. My dingo's story
is I pulled you to the ground.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Thank you, Okay, sorry, back on track. It pulled you
to the ground.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
They chase the pig and tripped over and broke your ankle.
That's hardly encounter.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
With a wild I have a better story.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I was attacked. Start with your best one. Produce a grace.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Come on, let me do one more. All right, you go?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
A monkey stole my visiline, Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Okay, okay, I'm going to top your monkey story.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
A monkey stole my iPhone, and two separate monkeys have
bitten me on two other occasions.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Monkeys hate me. What are you doing to the punkies
where I was in Indonesia? Are you in the monkey forest? Yes?
Did you have food on you?
Speaker 4 (14:48):
No?
Speaker 2 (14:49):
They just hated me. Did you get your phone back? Yes?
Speaker 3 (14:52):
But then I got a new phone because the monkey
late licked it and I was like, man, thank you.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Did you have to get a raby shot?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
I did. They're very painful.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Wow, guys, I have one more.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Okay, okay, So when I was in South Africa, Guys,

a right way.
I heard podcasts, hear more Kiss podcast playlist and listen
live on the Free iHeart app with Brittle and Laura
Ben Brady or what our Windows down?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
If my world.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Reason the dust only good bab dougle down.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
I've done much, but yeah I'm not. I'll big get
and what I want.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
It don't matter where that done. This is the pickup.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Happy Thursday, everybody, Maddy Jay, Happy Thursday.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Hey, I have something I want to run by you.
I mean to think this is a good idea.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Go on, I know this is probably isn't the best
way to start our show. Might feel a bit grim,
but it's an important conversation. I think everyone needs to
know what they want to do when they pass away,
when they end this life.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
You need to know how you want to go.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Okay, sure, and there are.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Some not how you want to go, so, but what
do you want to happen? You know what would happen after?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
So you know, we've spoken a couple of times about
the unusual things you can do, and like there are
some people might not know, but you can be cremated
and turned into jewelry. So like family can wear you
in a ring or a necklace and I'm like, that's.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I think that's cool, that's weird, that's so strange. I
don't want to wear anti Gladys on my wrist.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
All of anti gladis is maybe.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Like a I don't want to hear I got a finger.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Well, there's something new that I think could be me.
I have just seen it.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
You can get cremated.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Then they'll take your ashes and they put it into
a canister and they launch you like a firework and
you explode in the sky.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
She's like a double cremation.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Yeah, but it's like a celebration double cremation.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
So like picture my wedding mat. You were there, you know,
we were in Bali.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Fireworks were very low to the ground and people getting
burnt by them, Like you could have the last laugh
on your family then sprinkle.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Over them at your wedding. I got hit with the fireworks.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
I don't say that.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
So I guess, yeah, do I want to have like
one last bit of connection with my auntie who's passed away.
She hits me in the forehead.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
But don't you think that's cool? Think about it.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
All your friends and family are standing somewhere watching the celebration,
and then these beautiful fireworks go up, and you know,
it is like sending somebody off.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I think it's cool.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I think it's a lot better than scattering your ashes,
because I don't know if anyone's ever done that before.
But normally it's up on a hill somewhere, it's always windy.
You always end up with half of it on you.
It's very awkward. So the fireworks is actually a very
smart idea.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
You end up eating half, don't you.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Matt.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
It's Thursday. Guess what time it is.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I know the answer to this question because it's my
favorite segment. It's time for ask on Carts.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Yeah, this is what we do, Laura and I. I say,
we on our podcast Life on Cut podcast.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Every single week where people writing the biggest problems that
they have something they need a little bit of a
helping hand with. And it's good that we've got you
for a little while, Matt, because a bit of a
male opinion.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Usually it's just a male female.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Oh I'm not very smart.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
You don't have to be smart.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Sorry?
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Is that the right answer? Is that what I was
supposed to say?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Thank you? I'll take it.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Hey, we have it.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Emily on the line today, Emily is talking postpartum.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Hey, and welcome to the show. What's going on?
Speaker 5 (03:12):
So my partner and I had a baby about six
weeks ago, or I had the baby more to the point, congratulations,
well done, thank you. Everything is been going well. But
now we're getting to a six week mark. My partner
has I wouldn't say you've been too harsh about it,
but he has said that he feels that the spark
(03:33):
has been lost because we're no longer intimate for the
time being.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Well, I'm your six weeks postpartum.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Yeah, so I don't know. I'm very frustrated by it.
I mean, six weeks is basically when they're like, don't
have intercourse. But I'm just not feeling ready and just
him complaining about just makes me feel so bad.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
I mean, I know what I want to say here,
but it's probably not very diplomatic. On radio, Matt, you
give a male opinion. You guys have actually in this position.
You guys had Poppy what a month ago?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I think it's four or five months, No, four weeks.
It's not important about me and Poppy. Let's not get
half of those details, Britney. But I've had three children,
Emma and one thing that I now appreciate is that
there is no spark between if ever I get the
two partners, when you have a child in the mix,
it's just it's unavoidable. The spark will dwindle. And that
(04:27):
is such a normal part of having a newborn in
the mix because you can't focus on each other. You're
trying to keep this baby alive, and this baby is
just sucking the life out of you. Well, it's been
sucking the life out of even nine months now it's
continuing to do that outside the womb. It's really bloody hard,
and I think your husband needs to appreciate that the
spark will be gone for a period of time, but
(04:48):
then it will come back. But you have to be
really patient and in the meantime, whilst you're waiting for
that spark to be reignited, just make sure you're keeping
that house as clean as possible. You're cooking as much
food as you can.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
And this is where I kick Matt off the show. Sorry,
you talk about Emily doing that or the husband. You're
making it sound like Emily needs to keep me happy.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Come on, if anyone to clarify it.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
And I just looked at each other and thought, well,
this is where.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I'm talking about the husband. Emma, relaxed. This is not
for you. You put your feet up, you make sure you
keep that baby alive and healthy. This is for the husband.
He needs to make sure. Specifically, the husband needs to
make sure the house is clean. He should be doing
all of that work himself.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Look, I feel much the same because this is our
first baby. So that's why I just wasn't sure what
sort of direction I should be taking, Like, you don't
know what you don't know, but what I do know
is get the hell off.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Of me, exactly. And I think at the end of
the day, it comes down to you. Sorry, it doesn't
come down to him. Like you're the one.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Whose body has changed, your hormones have changed.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
You're not sleeping, you are literally physically feeding a baby
and keeping it alive.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
It's not cool to be making you feel bad.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
And I know he's probably not intentionally doing that, but
maybe you just need to sit down and explain to
him and say this will happen when it happens.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
But like I am hanging on for dear life here, but.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Just know there is not one cup out there in
the first few months that is going ooh, let's do it.
That spark is there.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
This is great, Like you've just had a baby come
out of your body, the last thing you wanted something
else going in there.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Yeah, exactly. Maybe I just need to tell his mother
and she can deal with him.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yeah, that's also an option that I was about to say,
all right on that.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
No, good luck, congratulations.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
If anything, you can go and find his exact chat
on demand, like search the pickup and you can play
him this back play your husband this conversation where you
can hear Maddy Jay saying this.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
If he's not listening to.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Just give him my number as well. I don't worry.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
That'd be great. Thank you so much, guys, I appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Thanks Sam.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
It's time for the big reveal here at the pickup
between Matty Jay and myself.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Look, it's not been an easy week. You know. We're
juggling children. I've got a newborn only a few weeks old.
But I have been slaving away, Brittany, just working tirelessly
making sure this costume is the best creation possible. I
want this to be a standout year for Marl and
her laboo boo.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Well here we are right for the last week or two,
Maddie Jay and I we've taken a daughter each, one
of Mattie Jay's daughters.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
He has three. I have taken Lola, she is four, not.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Physically taken her, but my challenge was to make her
a Halloween costume. And you have Marley now. They got
to pick what they wanted. Lola, my little Lola Derby.
She went pretty mainstream.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
She went a witch.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I tried to skew towards a mermaid. We tried to
skew towards unicorns. I wanted to get creative. I had
a glitter gun at home and I wanted to use it,
but she wanted the most plain straighty one eighty witch black.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
You say it's mainstream, but let's be here. It's a
classic Halloween classic.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Yeah, cliche. So here it is, Matt I've got the
hat on. As you can say.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
The hat looks really phenomenal. I'm very impressive. It's almost
like a bit of a Harry Potter esque.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
It's the flop on the side.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
It's a good side flop. I love that.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
I would be gryffindor what's that? And here is her suit?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
So her suit I've gone for a full length witch
gown because I thought maybe it can maybe be more
like she's going to a witch ball wow.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Because I didn't want to it had to be a witch.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
And then some extra sparkles. So we've gone full length
to the ground. And then as you can see here,
I've cut some edges on it. So I've cut some
to make it look a bit fashionably witch.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yeah, it's nice for those wondering. It's an all black
long arm gown gown and it has almost like a
pirate esque cut. Yes to the hem I.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Want an ambiguous hang on, is she a witch gown?
Is she a Harry Potter witch? Is she a pirate witch?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
It's a nice smaugas board of all those things put together.
I look, I'll be honest. I think it's a great effort.
You've done a good job.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
I did make a wand.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
I had made it from my backyard with a stick,
and it was good. But it actually Delilah, my dog
ate in the kike. It was a magic wand and
she ate.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
It classic Delilah. Look, I think it's good. I'm not
the one here who's going to have to pass judgment.
It will have to go to low I'll give it
to her tomorrow. We'll get her reaction.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Beautiful.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
But look, I mean, what have you got? I do think?
And I just for one second critique you, if I
may be critical.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Literally it's a plane. Which costume is a critique it go?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I just think you could have you had so many options,
you could have embellished it just slightly.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
But she said no embellishment, she said black.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Not Hang on a second, let's not twist her words.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
She called me that Laura and I talk all the time.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
That's not true at all. But I've got my costume here?
Speaker 4 (09:36):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
And get ready for this? Let me just hang on
a second. I'm going to lean down and pick it up.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Oh my god, that is so good.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Hey, what do you think about this? This is a
green la boo boo costume?
Speaker 4 (09:49):
It is. I am so impressed. I actually had no
idea you were going to go all out.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I haven't slept in a number of days, Brittany, I'm exhausted,
I'm tired. But was it worth it? Absolutely? Look at
this creation?
Speaker 4 (10:03):
How did you do those teeth with like.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Little perspects pieces that I had to cut by hand
glue them on, And it's even got little rainbow Fluffy
is do you know what's going to happen? What's that?
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I know you told me earlier in the week that,
like you said, when a kid wants what it wants,
you can't change it. I can guarantee you I have
made Lola exactly what she wants in terms of a
plane witch. She's going to see how fun that labubo
is and she's gonna not want this week.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Okay. My only concern the last few years Halloween has
been really, really hot. We always get hit with a
heat wave right on the time of trick or Tree,
So I'm wondering, is it too hot for Maley.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
May I think you have to cut the head off
so that it can come on and off. And it's
not a one piece.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Well, the mask is detachable, so if it does get
too hot, we can take the mask off. It breathes.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
He really thought of it all, haven't you?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Thank you?
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Well?
Speaker 3 (10:49):
We have a five hundred dollar voucher for Spotlight to
give away.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
You guys have been.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Sending in your pictures of your costumes for Halloween and
they are so good. This one has to be one
of the scariest ones we've ever had. Anaka canngrause. You've
won five hundred dollars to spend at spotlight, but this
is like she's five, the little girl.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
It's Chucky, Chucky the dog.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Scary Chucky with their like knife.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I hope that's a prop knife. What's very real? I
mean it's a great costume. Imagine coming that was knocking
on your door. You'll be petrified.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
I'd be throwing the twigs at it.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Hey, Maddie Jay, we're talking animal encounters, and can I
tell you I encountered a wild animal today.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
It was you.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
You're so much better than that bricke. But look, imagine this, okay,
Imagine you're on vacation, having a great time. You get
a little cocktail, You're laying down on your some bed
by the pool. You take your towel off, you got
to jump into the water. You look down and what
do you say? A crocodile in the pool.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
I tell you, I've seen this all over the internet.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Wild doesn't up and Port Douglas.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
I can't bathom because like you know up there that
you can't swim in the ocean at certain times, right,
you know there's crocs that could be there. There's all
these like stinging animals that could drop you dead in
a minute.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
But you just think that the one place you're safe
is the pool.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Right.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Do you imagine you dive in underwater? You love cutting
laps in those pools. Imagine you run head into a cross.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
And I was little, I used to be so petrified
of going into the deep end and sharks. But imagine
those kids are opening their eyes and they're being an
actual crocodile in the water. It's a miracle. No one
was hurt. But I was wondering breet off the back
of this. Have you ever on holiday had an encounter
maybe it was life threatening with an animal? You know.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I've actually had a few, now that we say it,
actually I've had three that come to.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Mind straight away.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Of course you have one.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I was in the Amazon jungle on this like adventure. Yeah,
we were doing two weeks camping and trying to live
off the land and stuff like.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
We were catching.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Piranhas and like literally eating coconut worms and stuff like.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
We were on a survivalist thing, me and my sister.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Sounds lovely. It was, I love it does that I
know were relaxing holidays.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
It was one of my favorite trips i've ever done.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Anyway, I was chasing wild pigs along the Amazon River
as you do, yep, and.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
At least speaking little pigs.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
They were so quick that I to eat the pig.
I just wanted to.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
They were just like, can you catch a pig? I
wasn't going to eat it.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
I was stick to the fish, but I broke my foot,
my toes I.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Hit a big rock when I was chasing the pig.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I'd say, it's okay.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Okay, I'll give you.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
No lie, No no time for that, hang on, no,
no time. So my story, Fritt is I was on
Fraser Island, Okay. I was walking to the convenience store
with my older brother. I didn't know this, but at
the time it was mating season. As we're walking one
way across the road, two dingos are walking in the
opposite direction. And when I was younger, I used to
(13:40):
be able to do a very convincing dog bark.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Okay, give us, thank you, sorry who told you that
was convincing?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
So no, for those listening, there's not a dog in
the room. That is just me pretending to be a
dog with my bark. I did that bark at the
dingo both of them stop in their tracks.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
And they made it with you.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
They turned and then nine months later I became a mother.
The dingos came towards me. I was chased. I was
chased for about two hundred meters by the dim goes.
They grabbed my shorts like the pig. My dingo's story
is I pulled you to the ground.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Thank you, Okay, sorry, back on track. It pulled you
to the ground.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
They chase the pig and tripped over and broke your ankle.
That's hardly encounter.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
With a wild I have a better story.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I was attacked. Start with your best one. Produce a grace.
