Speaker 2 (00:19):
Good Pickup with Britt Hockley and Laura Ben Brady or

I'm not.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
I'll big get and what I want.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
It don't matter where that does. This is the pickup.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Happy Friday, everybody. It's the Pickup with Britt Hockley and
Laura Burn.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
It is a Happy Friday, Laura, I am out of here.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yeah, I've got a big weekend.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I'm on a plane after this.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
I have a very big exclusive party to get to.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah, you are pretty important, Britt.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
It is my niece's first birthday party. I don't want
to brag, but it's gonna be a pretty big deal.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
It's gonna be lit. It's funny.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
It's first birthdays just for the parents, aren't they.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I'm not doing it for the I didn't even have.
I mean, also, it's you're like.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
I don't know how old my kids off. I've never
actually sele No, it's.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Like first birthday parties are big, especially when it's your
first kid. I didn't really have a first birthday party
for Lola because it was COVID times but Marley's we
went all out, and by then I was also pregnant
with Lola, so I was like, I'm done.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I've done one first birthday party so far, and has.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Lola had a birthday since she's been on this earth?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
And let me just say it was.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
A celebration for me, okay, because I kept that kid
alive for a whole year. And yes, Lola also gets
birthday parties. They're just mostly hand me down, Laura.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Do you know the Hollywood actress Brittany Snow?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I don't know who anyone is. She described her to me.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Well, I don't know if you've seen Hunting Wives on stands.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Also, no, okay, it's.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
A great show that's been released like in the last
couple of weeks. Anyway, it's brilliant.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
She's also in Pitch Perfect here let me your photo,
yes and now yes, yeah, she's great.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
So she was in Hairspray, which was musical. Yes, thank
you for having on board.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
But she's come out.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
And said podcast recently how she got that role because
originally she got rejected for it, but she wasn't gonna
take no for an answer, and all I reckon, maybe
we can all take a leaf.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Out of her book. I've listened to this.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I bombed that audition. I did terribly.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Adam Shankman, the director of Hairspray, he called me and
he was like, well, that wasn't great, And so he
said to me, you know, it's really funny. We just
got Michelle Pfeiffer on connected to play Velma von Tussel,
and so it would have been really iconic if you
guys were both in it. And I remembered that a
psychic had told me two years before that I was
(02:42):
going to be in a huge movie with a iconic,
beautiful blonde woman playing my mother. And so I called
him back and I said, the psychic told me that
I'm going to play Michelle Pfeiffer's daughter.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
And he said, that is the craziest story.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
You're so insane that I'm going to let you audition again.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Oh I still don't believe it.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
It's also pretty ballsy to like, imagine the director calls
you and this like, hey, that was bad, it's not you,
and then you call back saying no, no, it is me,
Like I know you've said it's not, but it is.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Do you know what though?
Speaker 1 (03:13):
It sounds like the director called her and actually he
was disappointed that she bombed the audition, like he wanted
to give her another chance.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Well, they're probably friends. It's Hollywood, yeah, all nepotism.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
It's not like it was the first thing she'd ever
been in. He'd like seen that she was brilliant.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
So he was like, I'm so unfortunate you can't see.
I know she can. She can, but I know that
you heard this Britain. And then you were like, see,
psychics sometimes get it right.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Well because I well, I think they often get it
right the right ones. They're definitely scammers out there, like
we all know that, but I always go to psychic
with a really open mind, like I don't take what
they say seriously, Like I'm not one of those people
that says like, hey, I'm getting a Michelle and then
you're like, hang on, there was a Michelle when I
was six. I don't try and link them, but I
love hoping that they're accurately.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I know, but have you ever had a situation cause
we've even had a few psychics on the show, and
anything they've ever said that was specific has always been wrong.
We had a psychic on that said I was having
a boy. It's a girl I also had with like
with my last daughter that we had. We had a
psychic on our podcast Life on Cut podcast, a very
famous one, and he was like, one hundred percent you're
(04:18):
having a boy, and I don't care that I'm having girls.
But they just seemed to go for things that are
very evidently going to be fifty to fifty and they
could be wrong.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
About my best friends when I was living in Scotland,
they were I've spoken about them in the past.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
They were like.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Seventy year old gay men and one yeah next door
to us. So I became really good friends with them.
We hung out all the time and one happened to
be a psychic and he told us a lot of
stuff that came through. But he had said to my
sister Sherry at the time, so she was living over
there as well. She'd been in Scotland a couple of years,
no kids, and wasn't planning on having kids till she
was back in Australia and he said to her just
(04:51):
in the street one day we were talking and he said,
you're going to have a.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Little girl sooner than you think.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
And Sharon was like okay, and he was like, you're
also going to have it in Scotland and she was like,
well no, I'm never I'm used off a baby and
I'll definitely be having in Australia. Anyway, she ended up
feeling pregnant literally unplay and a few weeks later was
planning to come back to Australia but it went early
and she had it in Scotland.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Okay, I know that that is a good one. That's
a very good one.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I just don't have any experiences where I'm like, yes,
I'm a believer.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
We have ebony on the.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Line, Ebanie, do you have an experience that might help
get Laura on board with psychics?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I do.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
I went and throw a psychic eight years ago and
they kept saying, who's Mick, Who's Mick? Who's Nick? I
didn't know Micky. And then one year later I met
my now husband, whose name is Mick.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
How long did you say it was only one year
later that you met him?
Speaker 6 (05:44):
Yeah, and I'd forgotten about it. I had no clue.
When it was my mum that brought it up. She's like,
oh my god, that's psychic she said about Mick.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Okay, well that is that a little bit more cool.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Could still be a coincidence, all right, Mick is a
very Mick Michael.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
It's not Mick Michel. I don't know. It could have
been a very common name.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
I do you know, do you think that, like sometimes
it's a psychic has said something.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Do you feel like maybe you're more drawn to that?
Speaker 4 (06:05):
So like when you're on the dating app, she're like,
you see a Mick and you're like, oh, she did
say Mick, Like should I swipe right?
Speaker 6 (06:10):
No? I completely forgot about it and had no idea,
and then it was yeah, my mum that brought it up.
She was.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
I was like, oh, how'd you meet him?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
She got set up by the psychic? Like I had
this really nice guy named Mick that I think you
should meet.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Thanks for the lovely Did I get your over the line?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
No, it doesn't quite get me over the line.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I mean, I've definitely heard some pretty wild and crazy
stories about it. But I just think in my experience,
they're always they're always quite wafty that they can interpreted
in different ways, and then the times that they haven't
been wafty, they've been wrong.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
All right, let's find one.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
I'm going to do some research and find one and
get them on for you again and see what is
in your future.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Would you be open to that?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah, someone can give me a psychic meeting. I want specifics,
though I wanted.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
To having a girl in a few weeks, four weeks time.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
We reckon you to call it puppy Laura.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
There's nothing worse.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
And I know you know this because you've had it
in the past, but nothing worse than like a noisy
neighbor or a problematic neighbor. I have a woman up
that lives directly above me that she's not too noisy
because she's in a wheelchair, so she scoots around, but
she tips water on me when I'm in the yard.
She yells at me if she thinks I'm on the
phone in my own yard too loud.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
She throws chilis into my yard. I think she's trying
to kill my dog. But like, I have my issues
with her.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
So I used to live in BRIT's apartment, like before
Britt moved in, my husband and I and of the kids.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
We lived there for several years before that.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
And I know this neighbor and she is just insane,
like she so, she purposely will get her hose, and
she will purposely water.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
You if you're out in the garden and my friends
are you with a hose? Not just me?
Speaker 3 (07:40):
If friends come over, they get watered too.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
She throws buckets of detergent over your washing if you've
got it on the line below.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Like, she's actually insane.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
And I just let it go. I've never said anything
to I've never written her a note.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I don't want to antagonize that she's above you. She'll
start for throwing feces or something.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Honestly, No, but.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
I think I might have some inspiration from this story online.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
And now you are our resident note writer.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Don't you drag me into this. You are being dragged
into it. I love to write a note.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I don't do a passive aggressive note, but I have
no qualms with leaving a note on someone's car, slipping
a note under someone's door if something.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Has really bugged me.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
It's been a little while.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Actually it's a lie. Left note last week. Prior to
that it had been a little while.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
But sometimes people need a note. Well, there are actually
people who park very inconsiderately. That's noteworthy.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Well, I want to get your opinion on this note.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
So there's a woman that's taken to Reddit to talk
about and get the opinion on her noisy upstairs neighbor.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
So everything worse, it's directly above her.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
She said, the pretty loud, like really heavy feet and
at nighttime they stomp everything. It just sounds like there's
no insulation in the house. So like every time they
move something or they vacuum or something bangs, it's actually.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Like really loud.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Do you know what it probably is there's no insulation.
And also they.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Probably have floorboards.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I've lived in an apartment like that, and I honestly
thought that they were doing tap dancing upstairs.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah, but they were just living life. They were just
trying to live.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
That's the thing about my name because she's in a wheelchair,
so there is no banging.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
She just scoots.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
But this lady has kids, right, She's got little kids, and.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Noy's problematic like throwing balls and the thrown lego, and yeah,
I get that that's annoying.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Okay, So she decided to write a note, but she
wanted to take a different take.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
She't want to run an angry note. I'm going to
read it to you.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
First of all, she put a little gift basket together,
which is really cute, and you know Ferrera shares and
duck chocolate.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
She puts some Pina noir in there, a sweet candle.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
She's really overcompensating for the note, isn't she.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Yeah, she's obviously not confrontational. And she went up knocked
left at her door. And now this is what the
note said. We wanted to drop off this basket as
a little hallo from downstairs. I also wanted to kindly
mention something. The sound from your apartment carries more than
you might realize, especially in the late evenings and into
the night, with our little.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Ones going to bed early.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Sounds like I'm reading it on a nighttime tale, like
a fairy tale. With our little ones going to bed early,
it can be a bit tough when there's a lot
of loud movement and vacuum in late at night. We
also want to apologize if any of our noise ever
disrupts you. We understand the kids maybe a bit wild
at times, and we try to be mindful. We completely
understand that everyone has their own routine and we don't
(10:04):
expect you to change your lifestyle for us.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
But anything you can do to keep things a bit
quiet in the late evenings would mean a lot.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
If I'm going to critique the note giving, I would say, firstly,
it's a little bit long, but it is an excellent note.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
It's an excellent note. My only issue with it is
that it's clearly the.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
First time that she's ever tried to make contact with
the neighbor. So like, if you have no relationship with
your neighbor at all, like the first thing going and
giving them a hamper, but then also being like, Hi,
nice to meet you.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
You suck.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Yeah. But if I'm going to get a note telling
me I'm loud, I would which you know I'm not.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I don't have any friends.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
But if I don't have anyone, if I if my neighbor,
if my neighbor was going to leave me a note,
I would rather get some prairir shares and a sweet
candle with it and be nice than like passive aggressive.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
On my degree, I agreed to you know what I
think though, I think we need to bring back the
days of being neighborly, of knowing your neighbors, meeting your
neighbors like I.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Don't want to know my neighbor.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
She's so mean, but at least.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Like I knew her, like you know, we'd met her,
we'd been up introduced to use.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
You know, to avoid her.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
That's what you know. Well, I realized that afterwards, but
at least I tried.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I think we've really lost the art of being friendly
with our neighbors. And I think it goes a long
way because then if you do have something that you're
annoyed about, you don't have to like leave a past
bag note for.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Them to Okay, here we go, let me hang on,
stop to stop.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
You know your neighbor, Frankie upstairs, this is you and Frankie.
What are you gonna say, Frankie?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Keep it down?
Speaker 3 (11:27):
We jop after nine.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Like what what what are you gonna do?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Just because you know that.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah, but then you can just go knock on the
door and be like, hey, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
That's worse.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I leave a note with a chocolate. I approached them
so out of ten already giveing a note.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I think it's a great, great note. Great, But like
she o t T didn't need to do all the
hamper the kisses at the end of view, just like
one thing of prero shares you needed to give her
a whole hair.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
But it's not.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
It's not Christmas, now Bridge. It is time for fun
fact Friday.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Shelter fine Friday.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
And what do you got for us today?
Speaker 6 (12:02):
Lord?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Look, I'm just very happy that this break is here
to stay and we're here to help you go into
the weekend with some fun facts to win at trivia.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Not all heroes were cape.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I'm also really bad.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
No, I'm really bad at trivia, but I really enjoy
this segment.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
That's all there is.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Okay, Number one straight off the bat, that is, did
you know that Cookie Monster's real name is, in fact
not Cookie Monster?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
It is Sid.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
You can't just call someone Sid and then change their name.
I've never been called Sid in his life.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Into this is Cookie Monster's real name Sid? Actually it is.
They just made that monster.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
It's probably not even the real Cookie.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
That's really good, I'm calling.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I can't believe anything these days, all right, Giraffes, This
one makes sense when you think about it. Giraffes are
thirty times more likely to get hit by lightning than people.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Why because they're so tall?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Yeah, but it's just like two meters taller than like
why isn't a tree?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Why what's the signs behind that?
Speaker 3 (13:02):
There's a lot of things taller than a giraffe.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
No, but it's just more than getting hit by like
than people. So it's like, yeah, the trees, if we're
going to talk about it, I'm sure a skyscraper is probably.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
More likely to get hit that's my point.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
But I said, giraffes are thirty times more likely to
get hit by lightning than people.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Sucks to be a giraffe.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Football teams wearing red kits play better.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Says who? Statistics? What statistics?
Speaker 1 (13:23):
There was a review of football matches in the last
fifty five years, and it showed that teams who were
wearing a red kit consistently played better in home matches
than teams in any other color.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yea, what color has been war?
Speaker 4 (13:37):
They're like a blue and with red shirts they wear
red as well, they wear rad But here came from
the winning.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Championship team, Celtic that was green.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Okay, but did they win every game? Yes?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Every Yeah, they were the winners.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Okay, a treble it's called Did you know that Koalas
have chlamydia?
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Everyone knows that. They also sleeping at eucalyptus.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
They also have fingerprints. They are nearly indistinguishable from human ones.
So if a koala broke into your house and stole
something like an eucalypus plant, they'd never know.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
They'd think it was a human.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Fascinating.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, I know, take that one out in the weekend
and spin it around.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
You also got one more animal one for you.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Crocodiles cannot stick out their tongues because a membrane holds
their tongue in place. They're one of the only animals
who can't do it, so they can't lick something, and.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Most lizardy things can. So that's really weird.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
So crocodile can't lick, that's interesting. So just eachy whole doesn't.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Even have a taste just because it not likes you,
it does it.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I don't think it's particularly bigky to be honest.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Well, you guys go off into the sunset and have
a great weekend with those fun facts.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
We certainly will anyway, guys, that is it from us.
I heard podcasts, hear more Kiss podcast playlist and listen
live on the Free iHeart app.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Good Pickup with Britt Hockley and Laura Ben Brady or
what Our Windows Down? My World? Reason the dust only
good Brad Doug all down. I've done much, but yeah
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
I'll big get and what I want.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
It don't matter where that does. This is the pickup.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Happy Friday, everybody. It's the Pickup with Britt Hockley and
Laura Burn.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
It is a Happy Friday, Laura, I am out of here.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yeah, I've got a big weekend.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I'm on a plane after this.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
I have a very big exclusive party to get to.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah, you are pretty important, Britt.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
It is my niece's first birthday party. I don't want
to brag, but it's gonna be a pretty big deal.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
It's gonna be lit. It's funny.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
It's first birthdays just for the parents, aren't they.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I'm not doing it for the I didn't even have.
I mean, also, it's you're like.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
I don't know how old my kids off. I've never
actually sele No, it's.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Like first birthday parties are big, especially when it's your
first kid. I didn't really have a first birthday party
for Lola because it was COVID times but Marley's we
went all out, and by then I was also pregnant
with Lola, so I was like, I'm done.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I've done one first birthday party so far, and has.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Lola had a birthday since she's been on this earth?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
And let me just say it was.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
A celebration for me, okay, because I kept that kid
alive for a whole year. And yes, Lola also gets
birthday parties. They're just mostly hand me down, Laura.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Do you know the Hollywood actress Brittany Snow?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I don't know who anyone is. She described her to me.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Well, I don't know if you've seen Hunting Wives on stands.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Also, no, okay, it's.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
A great show that's been released like in the last
couple of weeks. Anyway, it's brilliant.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
She's also in Pitch Perfect here let me your photo,
yes and now yes, yeah, she's great.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
So she was in Hairspray, which was musical. Yes, thank
you for having on board.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
But she's come out.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
And said podcast recently how she got that role because
originally she got rejected for it, but she wasn't gonna
take no for an answer, and all I reckon, maybe
we can all take a leaf.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Out of her book. I've listened to this.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I bombed that audition. I did terribly.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Adam Shankman, the director of Hairspray, he called me and
he was like, well, that wasn't great, And so he
said to me, you know, it's really funny. We just
got Michelle Pfeiffer on connected to play Velma von Tussel,
and so it would have been really iconic if you
guys were both in it. And I remembered that a
psychic had told me two years before that I was
(02:42):
going to be in a huge movie with a iconic,
beautiful blonde woman playing my mother. And so I called
him back and I said, the psychic told me that
I'm going to play Michelle Pfeiffer's daughter.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
And he said, that is the craziest story.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
You're so insane that I'm going to let you audition again.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Oh I still don't believe it.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
It's also pretty ballsy to like, imagine the director calls
you and this like, hey, that was bad, it's not you,
and then you call back saying no, no, it is me,
Like I know you've said it's not, but it is.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Do you know what though?
Speaker 1 (03:13):
It sounds like the director called her and actually he
was disappointed that she bombed the audition, like he wanted
to give her another chance.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Well, they're probably friends. It's Hollywood, yeah, all nepotism.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
It's not like it was the first thing she'd ever
been in. He'd like seen that she was brilliant.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
So he was like, I'm so unfortunate you can't see.
I know she can. She can, but I know that
you heard this Britain. And then you were like, see,
psychics sometimes get it right.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Well because I well, I think they often get it
right the right ones. They're definitely scammers out there, like
we all know that, but I always go to psychic
with a really open mind, like I don't take what
they say seriously, Like I'm not one of those people
that says like, hey, I'm getting a Michelle and then
you're like, hang on, there was a Michelle when I
was six. I don't try and link them, but I
love hoping that they're accurately.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I know, but have you ever had a situation cause
we've even had a few psychics on the show, and
anything they've ever said that was specific has always been wrong.
We had a psychic on that said I was having
a boy. It's a girl I also had with like
with my last daughter that we had. We had a
psychic on our podcast Life on Cut podcast, a very
famous one, and he was like, one hundred percent you're
(04:18):
having a boy, and I don't care that I'm having girls.
But they just seemed to go for things that are
very evidently going to be fifty to fifty and they
could be wrong.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
About my best friends when I was living in Scotland,
they were I've spoken about them in the past.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
They were like.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Seventy year old gay men and one yeah next door
to us. So I became really good friends with them.
We hung out all the time and one happened to
be a psychic and he told us a lot of
stuff that came through. But he had said to my
sister Sherry at the time, so she was living over
there as well. She'd been in Scotland a couple of years,
no kids, and wasn't planning on having kids till she
was back in Australia and he said to her just
(04:51):
in the street one day we were talking and he said,
you're going to have a.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Little girl sooner than you think.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
And Sharon was like okay, and he was like, you're
also going to have it in Scotland and she was like,
well no, I'm never I'm used off a baby and
I'll definitely be having in Australia. Anyway, she ended up
feeling pregnant literally unplay and a few weeks later was
planning to come back to Australia but it went early
and she had it in Scotland.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Okay, I know that that is a good one. That's
a very good one.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I just don't have any experiences where I'm like, yes,
I'm a believer.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
We have ebony on the.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Line, Ebanie, do you have an experience that might help
get Laura on board with psychics?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I do.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
I went and throw a psychic eight years ago and
they kept saying, who's Mick, Who's Mick? Who's Nick? I
didn't know Micky. And then one year later I met
my now husband, whose name is Mick.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
How long did you say it was only one year
later that you met him?
Speaker 6 (05:44):
Yeah, and I'd forgotten about it. I had no clue.
When it was my mum that brought it up. She's like,
oh my god, that's psychic she said about Mick.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Okay, well that is that a little bit more cool.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Could still be a coincidence, all right, Mick is a
very Mick Michael.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
It's not Mick Michel. I don't know. It could have
been a very common name.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
I do you know, do you think that, like sometimes
it's a psychic has said something.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Do you feel like maybe you're more drawn to that?
Speaker 4 (06:05):
So like when you're on the dating app, she're like,
you see a Mick and you're like, oh, she did
say Mick, Like should I swipe right?
Speaker 6 (06:10):
No? I completely forgot about it and had no idea,
and then it was yeah, my mum that brought it up.
She was.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
I was like, oh, how'd you meet him?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
She got set up by the psychic? Like I had
this really nice guy named Mick that I think you
should meet.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Thanks for the lovely Did I get your over the line?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
No, it doesn't quite get me over the line.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I mean, I've definitely heard some pretty wild and crazy
stories about it. But I just think in my experience,
they're always they're always quite wafty that they can interpreted
in different ways, and then the times that they haven't
been wafty, they've been wrong.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
All right, let's find one.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
I'm going to do some research and find one and
get them on for you again and see what is
in your future.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Would you be open to that?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah, someone can give me a psychic meeting. I want specifics,
though I wanted.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
To having a girl in a few weeks, four weeks time.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
We reckon you to call it puppy Laura.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
There's nothing worse.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
And I know you know this because you've had it
in the past, but nothing worse than like a noisy
neighbor or a problematic neighbor. I have a woman up
that lives directly above me that she's not too noisy
because she's in a wheelchair, so she scoots around, but
she tips water on me when I'm in the yard.
She yells at me if she thinks I'm on the
phone in my own yard too loud.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
She throws chilis into my yard. I think she's trying
to kill my dog. But like, I have my issues
with her.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
So I used to live in BRIT's apartment, like before
Britt moved in, my husband and I and of the kids.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
We lived there for several years before that.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
And I know this neighbor and she is just insane,
like she so, she purposely will get her hose, and
she will purposely water.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
You if you're out in the garden and my friends
are you with a hose? Not just me?
Speaker 3 (07:40):
If friends come over, they get watered too.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
She throws buckets of detergent over your washing if you've
got it on the line below.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Like, she's actually insane.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
And I just let it go. I've never said anything
to I've never written her a note.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I don't want to antagonize that she's above you. She'll
start for throwing feces or something.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Honestly, No, but.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
I think I might have some inspiration from this story online.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
And now you are our resident note writer.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Don't you drag me into this. You are being dragged
into it. I love to write a note.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I don't do a passive aggressive note, but I have
no qualms with leaving a note on someone's car, slipping
a note under someone's door if something.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Has really bugged me.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
It's been a little while.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Actually it's a lie. Left note last week. Prior to
that it had been a little while.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
But sometimes people need a note. Well, there are actually
people who park very inconsiderately. That's noteworthy.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Well, I want to get your opinion on this note.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
So there's a woman that's taken to Reddit to talk
about and get the opinion on her noisy upstairs neighbor.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
So everything worse, it's directly above her.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
She said, the pretty loud, like really heavy feet and
at nighttime they stomp everything. It just sounds like there's
no insulation in the house. So like every time they
move something or they vacuum or something bangs, it's actually.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Like really loud.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Do you know what it probably is there's no insulation.
And also they.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Probably have floorboards.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I've lived in an apartment like that, and I honestly
thought that they were doing tap dancing upstairs.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah, but they were just living life. They were just
trying to live.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
That's the thing about my name because she's in a wheelchair,
so there is no banging.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
She just scoots.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
But this lady has kids, right, She's got little kids, and.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Noy's problematic like throwing balls and the thrown lego, and yeah,
I get that that's annoying.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Okay, So she decided to write a note, but she
wanted to take a different take.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
She't want to run an angry note. I'm going to
read it to you.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
First of all, she put a little gift basket together,
which is really cute, and you know Ferrera shares and
duck chocolate.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
She puts some Pina noir in there, a sweet candle.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
She's really overcompensating for the note, isn't she.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Yeah, she's obviously not confrontational. And she went up knocked
left at her door. And now this is what the
note said. We wanted to drop off this basket as
a little hallo from downstairs. I also wanted to kindly
mention something. The sound from your apartment carries more than
you might realize, especially in the late evenings and into
the night, with our little.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Ones going to bed early.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Sounds like I'm reading it on a nighttime tale, like
a fairy tale. With our little ones going to bed early,
it can be a bit tough when there's a lot
of loud movement and vacuum in late at night. We
also want to apologize if any of our noise ever
disrupts you. We understand the kids maybe a bit wild
at times, and we try to be mindful. We completely
understand that everyone has their own routine and we don't
(10:04):
expect you to change your lifestyle for us.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
But anything you can do to keep things a bit
quiet in the late evenings would mean a lot.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
If I'm going to critique the note giving, I would say, firstly,
it's a little bit long, but it is an excellent note.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
It's an excellent note. My only issue with it is
that it's clearly the.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
First time that she's ever tried to make contact with
the neighbor. So like, if you have no relationship with
your neighbor at all, like the first thing going and
giving them a hamper, but then also being like, Hi,
nice to meet you.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
You suck.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Yeah. But if I'm going to get a note telling
me I'm loud, I would which you know I'm not.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I don't have any friends.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
But if I don't have anyone, if I if my neighbor,
if my neighbor was going to leave me a note,
I would rather get some prairir shares and a sweet
candle with it and be nice than like passive aggressive.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
On my degree, I agreed to you know what I
think though, I think we need to bring back the
days of being neighborly, of knowing your neighbors, meeting your
neighbors like I.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Don't want to know my neighbor.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
She's so mean, but at least.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Like I knew her, like you know, we'd met her,
we'd been up introduced to use.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
You know, to avoid her.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
That's what you know. Well, I realized that afterwards, but
at least I tried.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I think we've really lost the art of being friendly
with our neighbors. And I think it goes a long
way because then if you do have something that you're
annoyed about, you don't have to like leave a past
bag note for.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Them to Okay, here we go, let me hang on,
stop to stop.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
You know your neighbor, Frankie upstairs, this is you and Frankie.
What are you gonna say, Frankie?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Keep it down?
Speaker 3 (11:27):
We jop after nine.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Like what what what are you gonna do?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Just because you know that.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah, but then you can just go knock on the
door and be like, hey, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
That's worse.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I leave a note with a chocolate. I approached them
so out of ten already giveing a note.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I think it's a great, great note. Great, But like
she o t T didn't need to do all the
hamper the kisses at the end of view, just like
one thing of prero shares you needed to give her
a whole hair.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
But it's not.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
It's not Christmas, now Bridge. It is time for fun
fact Friday.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Shelter fine Friday.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
And what do you got for us today?
Speaker 6 (12:02):
Lord?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Look, I'm just very happy that this break is here
to stay and we're here to help you go into
the weekend with some fun facts to win at trivia.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Not all heroes were cape.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I'm also really bad.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
No, I'm really bad at trivia, but I really enjoy
this segment.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
That's all there is.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Okay, Number one straight off the bat, that is, did
you know that Cookie Monster's real name is, in fact
not Cookie Monster?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
It is Sid.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
You can't just call someone Sid and then change their name.
I've never been called Sid in his life.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Into this is Cookie Monster's real name Sid? Actually it is.
They just made that monster.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
It's probably not even the real Cookie.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
That's really good, I'm calling.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I can't believe anything these days, all right, Giraffes, This
one makes sense when you think about it. Giraffes are
thirty times more likely to get hit by lightning than people.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Why because they're so tall?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Yeah, but it's just like two meters taller than like
why isn't a tree?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Why what's the signs behind that?
Speaker 3 (13:02):
There's a lot of things taller than a giraffe.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
No, but it's just more than getting hit by like
than people. So it's like, yeah, the trees, if we're
going to talk about it, I'm sure a skyscraper is probably.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
More likely to get hit that's my point.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
But I said, giraffes are thirty times more likely to
get hit by lightning than people.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Sucks to be a giraffe.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Football teams wearing red kits play better.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Says who? Statistics? What statistics?
Speaker 1 (13:23):
There was a review of football matches in the last
fifty five years, and it showed that teams who were
wearing a red kit consistently played better in home matches
than teams in any other color.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yea, what color has been war?
Speaker 4 (13:37):
They're like a blue and with red shirts they wear
red as well, they wear rad But here came from
the winning.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Championship team, Celtic that was green.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Okay, but did they win every game? Yes?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Every Yeah, they were the winners.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Okay, a treble it's called Did you know that Koalas
have chlamydia?
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Everyone knows that. They also sleeping at eucalyptus.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
They also have fingerprints. They are nearly indistinguishable from human ones.
So if a koala broke into your house and stole
something like an eucalypus plant, they'd never know.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
They'd think it was a human.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Fascinating.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, I know, take that one out in the weekend
and spin it around.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
You also got one more animal one for you.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Crocodiles cannot stick out their tongues because a membrane holds
their tongue in place. They're one of the only animals
who can't do it, so they can't lick something, and.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Most lizardy things can. So that's really weird.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
So crocodile can't lick, that's interesting. So just eachy whole doesn't.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Even have a taste just because it not likes you,
it does it.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I don't think it's particularly bigky to be honest.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Well, you guys go off into the sunset and have
a great weekend with those fun facts.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
We certainly will anyway, guys, that is it from us.
