Speaker 3 (01:55):
Do you want to know what?
Speaker 5 (01:56):
I had a real life one of these moments where
I felt somebody.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
This happened last week.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
I saw a young girl online, she's like ten years old,
and she was singing.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
No listen, she was singing and it was incredible as
good as Richard.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Well, no, like she's like a Miniadel and it was incredible.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Well, what's Richard then?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
And so I sent her film.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
I sent her to Rebel Wilson Rebel because because I'm
Rebels a friend of mine, but I know that she
produces Rebels in her a musical.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Movie Can we just not hijack this conversation focus on
Richard please.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
I literally send it to Rebel and said, you need
to just quote unquote discover this girl and put her
in one of your films.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
She's so good. I tried to do the job that
you've always wanted.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Can you send her Richard Richard in the recorder? Can
you do that please? That's sober, Brittany. You're gonna find
this article very interesting. Can I read you the headline? Okay, okay,
guest irritated after finding out friends big splashy wedding with
expensive gift registry wasn't actually illegal, seramony, Who does that remind.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
You of I'm going to assume you want me to
say me, I don't think that reminds me of me. Well,
I had a big, splashy wedding, but I didn't have
a big splashy gift registry.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
But my wedding wasn't legal.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I don't think I gave you No, we did. Laura
gave you the rings, that's right. I don't think I
gave you a gift.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
No, you guys didn't give a gift as such.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Hang on on the day, but you Laura designed and
made and gave me my ring. Yes, absolutely, which was
like the most incredible gift.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Shout out to my wife Laura and Tony May. I
didn't know though, that your wedding. I did think it
was a little bit strange, because can I just remind
people if they're not familiar with how things unfolded. There
was a joke that was made about you didn't have
a celebrant or they couldn't get a flight, and so
your dad had to step in last second.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah, I mean that was always planned.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
So the giveaway should have been that my dad did
officiate my wedding.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
And my dad is not a celebrate. My dad is
a builder. So my wedding, by all accounts, it was
in Balley.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
It was big, it was beautiful, It was seemed like
a proper wedding, but it and it was.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
But it wasn't legal, but we treated it like it
was legal. But we didn't have a gift registry. I
would never do a gift registry. But there was like
if anyone wanted to leave something, of course they could have.
But Mattie Jay, what is this woman mad about?
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Just the fact that they pretended it was a wedding,
But they didn't officially sign something.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Look pretty much. I'm going to read you the quote
here and it says rationally, I know it makes no
difference to my life whether they are legally married or not.
But I still feel sort of duped. And do you
know what, Britney.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Hockley, you feel dueped too.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
I feel a little bit jooped. Here. I was tears
in my eyes at you and Ben tying they're not
And actually it wasn't a wedding at all.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
It was a wedding.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
It was just a fancy little get together with people
dressed in formal attire. I knew in a wedding dress.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Three wedding dresses I did.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I was thinking to myself, Oh they didn't. You didn't
have the moment if I now pronounce your husband? And
what we did? I did you? God, we did that.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Producer Grace, you were there. Do you think it's still
a wedding? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
That was like the main part of the wedding when
they kissed and yeah whatnot?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Yeah, that was like still a wedding.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Okay, well, actually.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
What is sound?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
No, no, hang on, Because we've been Producer Grace, we
have been taken advantage of let's let's call a spade
a spade. Brittany conned, conned everyone in attendance.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I'm pretty sure that was a headline. Actually it was, but.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I say I then went to the legal wedding the
next week, so I was like, this is fine.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
I reckon Maddie's offer because he didn't come to the
legal wedding because we did. We did lock it down
a week later, like it is legitimate. We are legitimately married,
and we didn't. We didn't try and trick people.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Did you receive any backlash from any guests after they
found out that you were No, Okay.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Absolutely not, because it's not It wasn't a party with
randoms with all my family and friends.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
No one's going to have backlash.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Just so I'm not like the only one here being outraged.
Producer Grace, can I ask, as you were in attendance,
knowing that it was an illegal ceremony, did you in
any way feel taken advantage of the fact that you
paid all that money to fly to BALI have a
beautiful dress.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
You look great, by the way, Thank you, careful, Grace,
Because I am paying for the Christmas party to.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Night, so I was just happy to be there. That
is what a true friend would say. So, Maddie Jay,
I'm so glad you didn't make it to my legal wenning.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I was busy.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Maddie Jay. How do you feel time to give some
money away?
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Or what?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I want to give money away? And I'll only do
it if people come to me with an insane, chaotic, crazy, wild,
unhinged story. Nothing gets me in the Christmas spirit quite
like hearing someone else's pain.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Well, because it makes you feel a little bit better,
right like if someone else has that Christmas chaos.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Yeah, for example, we had one Christmas on Strathbroke Island,
a beautiful island off the coast of Queensland. Unfortunately everyone
got gashtro I remember that somehow.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
It's yeah, why do I remember your family going down?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
With game?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Was?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
We paid so much money for this beautiful render because
all my family members were together and we're like, we're
going to enjoy this. And there was just projectile vomiting everywhere,
and because there were so many not enough toilets. You
can kind of see what that was the issue.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
And did you go outside and just do it? Fans down?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
I think I didn't get it. I was the one
person immune to it. It was like the black plague.
There was always that one persons to clean up all
the dead people. That was me.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
I would have just said, you're on the beach there.
I would have said everyone outside. You know, when you're
camping and you're young, you take a shovel. We I mean,
that's what my family did, wed a shovel.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Did your own hole.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
We were in the penthalse bridge, so sorry, we couldn't
grab a shovel.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Well, we've got a thousand dollars IJ gift card to
give away.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
We have Leanne on the line. Hey, Leanne, what is
your chaoshit Christmas moment?
Speaker 6 (07:43):
Hey guys.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
When I was a kid, my uncle Barry decided to
surprise us, all us cousins and kids by climbing in
the kitchen window at Santa But the only problem was
he actually got stuck there.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
And then so stuck to the point that someone had
to like rescue.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
Yeah, we had to get the fiber game and everything
because my dad couldn't get him out.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
How do you get stuck in a window that a
fire brigade has to come.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Oh he was a little bit of a portly gentleman.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
My uncle Guy.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
It's always the uncles too, Why is it always the uncle?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
And he was he was dressed as Santa Claus. Is
that right?
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:23):
And they had to try and take like the beard
and the heart off because of course the kids were.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
Like, what's going on? And then the neighborhood kids were
around because they saw his big butt sticking out the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yeah, Merry Christmas. That is beautiful.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Well, Merry Christmas to you because you have just won
a thousand dollar ij gift card.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
Thank you for much.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Maddie Jay is still with us.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
Scotts say that like you're going to pass away, don't
I he's holding on by his thread.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
He's terminal.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
It's not long now, it's not long a couple of weeks, hey.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I think? Yeah, Well, like bring the mood down in
less than two weeks, just to manage expects because people
may tune in and go, hang on a second, where
has he gone? Yeah? I am healthy, I'm happy.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
But do you we need to have a party to
celebrate that you're leaving.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Oh, that's a very good question. I think we should.
It would be remiss of us not to have some
type of an occasion to celebrate.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Well, this is going to bring me into exactly what
I want to talk about.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
There is an influencer and I don't know if you've
seen her online her she's a Melbourne influencer. Her name
is Adele Petropolis and she's going viral at the moment
for celebrating her wedding day because she's.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
The picture of her. She's holding up a white cake.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
She's with all her friends, but on the cake is
written cheetas don't get cake.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
She looks very happy considering she's someone who's recently split. Yeah,
the wedding's not going ahead.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Well, so she didn't say a lot.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
That was all she did was say celebrating her wedding
and the cake says cheeters don't get cakes. So she's
obviously found out her partner has cheated on her. She's
been like, stuff, you, there's no way I'm marrying, but
you can't cancel wedding days and get your money back.
So she's had the date still and just thrown like
a celebration party.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I think this is a great approach and Britain, as
I've always said, you know me, I've said this quite often,
at least once a day. When life gives you lemons
eat cake. Well, there it is, write it down, put
it on my shirt. I think it's great because you
could be sitting there all glum by yourself at home,
being like this should be the best of my life.
And you know what, I'm going to have a party.
(10:28):
I'm going to celebrate. I celebrate a very special occasion,
which some people say could be sad, but for me,
I want to hear it. What is it's when I
got the snip.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
You haven't got the snip or you want to I've.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Got the snip. Snip down there? Can I say circumcised?
Is that a lot of I thought you might have
said to me that hasn't happened. No, I it was
Feb thirteen thirteen.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Didn't you get at an adult circumcision?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I was? I was grade one. So I celebrate that
every year Feb thirteen. It's a special occasion. Yep.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
And why did you get it so old?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
I was born. How do you say it's medically too
much foreskin?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I don't know it's medical term, like a little red
riding the.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Hood of my jumper was too big.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Okay, well, let's that was a segway.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Let's take it back to the story of like celebrating
these moments. I love that you celebrate that, though Matt
psychologist Amanda Ferguson says that it is actually really important
to celebrate milestones in life, but not just the good
ones and the bad ones. And there's been a real
trend in divorce parties. I don't know if you've seen that.
People are trying to turn the tables. I'm not sad
that I'm divorcing, Like, let's celebrate this.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Whenever I think of the word divorce, I think of
that image of Nicole Kidman and I don't know if
that's real, but it's when she's skipping down the road
she's just divorced from Tom Cruise and she just has
pure elation on her face.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
I reckon that was probably a scene out of a
movie that they've taken and click baited it and said
that that was like after she just signed the hior's papers.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I want to believe it's real because that must feel
so good when you can just relinquish the shackles, you're free.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
I don't have anything sad that I celebrate.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Actually, I know Producer Grace's parents that want to have
a divorce party.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah, they're still technically married. They've been separated for fifteen years.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
They haven't gotten around to doing.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
The paperwork, but they plan on having a divorce party
when it happened.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Do you think there's like a limit on how long
you should be separated for when you get your divorce.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Well, you know, it costs like fifteen hundred dollars or
something to get divorced, and there's a lot of money,
does it. Yeah, they're like, well, it's not really affecting
our lives in any way whatsoever.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
They had a very amicable split, obviously.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Well, I mean evidently if they're still friends fifteen years later. Yeah,
well there you go. Hey, if you've been celebrating something,
maybe it's like a foreskin like Matt, maybe it's divorce.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
We want to hear about it, So give us a call. Hey,
that is it from us.
The Pickup with Britt Hockley and Laura.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Ben Radio Work, Our windows done, My worldris in the dust.

and we didn't. We didn't try and trick people.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Did you receive any backlash from any guests after they
found out that you were No, Okay.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Absolutely not, because it's not It wasn't a party with
randoms with all my family and friends.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
No one's going to have backlash.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Just so I'm not like the only one here being outraged.
Producer Grace, can I ask, as you were in attendance,
knowing that it was an illegal ceremony, did you in
any way feel taken advantage of the fact that you
paid all that money to fly to BALI have a
beautiful dress.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
You look great, by the way, Thank you, careful, Grace,
Because I am paying for the Christmas party to.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Night, so I was just happy to be there. That
is what a true friend would say. So, Maddie Jay,
I'm so glad you didn't make it to my legal wenning.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I was busy.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Maddie Jay. How do you feel time to give some
money away?
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Or what?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I want to give money away? And I'll only do
it if people come to me with an insane, chaotic, crazy, wild,
unhinged story. Nothing gets me in the Christmas spirit quite
like hearing someone else's pain.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Well, because it makes you feel a little bit better,
right like if someone else has that Christmas chaos.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Yeah, for example, we had one Christmas on Strathbroke Island,
a beautiful island off the coast of Queensland. Unfortunately everyone
got gashtro I remember that somehow.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
It's yeah, why do I remember your family going down?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
With game?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Was?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
We paid so much money for this beautiful render because
all my family members were together and we're like, we're
going to enjoy this. And there was just projectile vomiting everywhere,
and because there were so many not enough toilets. You
can kind of see what that was the issue.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
And did you go outside and just do it? Fans down?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
I think I didn't get it. I was the one
person immune to it. It was like the black plague.
There was always that one persons to clean up all
the dead people. That was me.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
I would have just said, you're on the beach there.
I would have said everyone outside. You know, when you're
camping and you're young, you take a shovel. We I mean,
that's what my family did, wed a shovel.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Did your own hole.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
We were in the penthalse bridge, so sorry, we couldn't
grab a shovel.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Well, we've got a thousand dollars IJ gift card to
give away.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
We have Leanne on the line. Hey, Leanne, what is
your chaoshit Christmas moment?
Speaker 6 (07:43):
Hey guys.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
When I was a kid, my uncle Barry decided to
surprise us, all us cousins and kids by climbing in
the kitchen window at Santa But the only problem was
he actually got stuck there.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
And then so stuck to the point that someone had
to like rescue.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
Yeah, we had to get the fiber game and everything
because my dad couldn't get him out.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
How do you get stuck in a window that a
fire brigade has to come.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Oh he was a little bit of a portly gentleman.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
My uncle Guy.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
It's always the uncles too, Why is it always the uncle?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
And he was he was dressed as Santa Claus. Is
that right?
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:23):
And they had to try and take like the beard
and the heart off because of course the kids were.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
Like, what's going on? And then the neighborhood kids were
around because they saw his big butt sticking out the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yeah, Merry Christmas. That is beautiful.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Well, Merry Christmas to you because you have just won
a thousand dollar ij gift card.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
Thank you for much.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Maddie Jay is still with us.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
Scotts say that like you're going to pass away, don't
I he's holding on by his thread.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
He's terminal.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
It's not long now, it's not long a couple of weeks, hey.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I think? Yeah, Well, like bring the mood down in
less than two weeks, just to manage expects because people
may tune in and go, hang on a second, where
has he gone? Yeah? I am healthy, I'm happy.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
But do you we need to have a party to
celebrate that you're leaving.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Oh, that's a very good question. I think we should.
It would be remiss of us not to have some
type of an occasion to celebrate.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Well, this is going to bring me into exactly what
I want to talk about.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
There is an influencer and I don't know if you've
seen her online her she's a Melbourne influencer. Her name
is Adele Petropolis and she's going viral at the moment
for celebrating her wedding day because she's.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
The picture of her. She's holding up a white cake.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
She's with all her friends, but on the cake is
written cheetas don't get cake.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
She looks very happy considering she's someone who's recently split. Yeah,
the wedding's not going ahead.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Well, so she didn't say a lot.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
That was all she did was say celebrating her wedding
and the cake says cheeters don't get cakes. So she's
obviously found out her partner has cheated on her. She's
been like, stuff, you, there's no way I'm marrying, but
you can't cancel wedding days and get your money back.
So she's had the date still and just thrown like
a celebration party.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I think this is a great approach and Britain, as
I've always said, you know me, I've said this quite often,
at least once a day. When life gives you lemons
eat cake. Well, there it is, write it down, put
it on my shirt. I think it's great because you
could be sitting there all glum by yourself at home,
being like this should be the best of my life.
And you know what, I'm going to have a party.
(10:28):
I'm going to celebrate. I celebrate a very special occasion,
which some people say could be sad, but for me,
I want to hear it. What is it's when I
got the snip.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
You haven't got the snip or you want to I've.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Got the snip. Snip down there? Can I say circumcised?
Is that a lot of I thought you might have
said to me that hasn't happened. No, I it was
Feb thirteen thirteen.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Didn't you get at an adult circumcision?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I was? I was grade one. So I celebrate that
every year Feb thirteen. It's a special occasion. Yep.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
And why did you get it so old?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
I was born. How do you say it's medically too
much foreskin?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I don't know it's medical term, like a little red
riding the.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Hood of my jumper was too big.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Okay, well, let's that was a segway.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Let's take it back to the story of like celebrating
these moments. I love that you celebrate that, though Matt
psychologist Amanda Ferguson says that it is actually really important
to celebrate milestones in life, but not just the good
ones and the bad ones. And there's been a real
trend in divorce parties. I don't know if you've seen that.
People are trying to turn the tables. I'm not sad
that I'm divorcing, Like, let's celebrate this.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Whenever I think of the word divorce, I think of
that image of Nicole Kidman and I don't know if
that's real, but it's when she's skipping down the road
she's just divorced from Tom Cruise and she just has
pure elation on her face.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
I reckon that was probably a scene out of a
movie that they've taken and click baited it and said
that that was like after she just signed the hior's papers.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I want to believe it's real because that must feel
so good when you can just relinquish the shackles, you're free.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
I don't have anything sad that I celebrate.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Actually, I know Producer Grace's parents that want to have
a divorce party.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah, they're still technically married. They've been separated for fifteen years.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
They haven't gotten around to doing.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
The paperwork, but they plan on having a divorce party
when it happened.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Do you think there's like a limit on how long
you should be separated for when you get your divorce.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Well, you know, it costs like fifteen hundred dollars or
something to get divorced, and there's a lot of money,
does it. Yeah, they're like, well, it's not really affecting
our lives in any way whatsoever.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
They had a very amicable split, obviously.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Well, I mean evidently if they're still friends fifteen years later. Yeah,
well there you go. Hey, if you've been celebrating something,
maybe it's like a foreskin like Matt, maybe it's divorce.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
We want to hear about it, So give us a call. Hey,
that is it from us.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
