Good Pickup with Britt Hockley and Laura Burn.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Bady your work, our windows done, that's my world.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Risen the dust only good fall down.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I've don't much, but yeah I know our big get
and what I want. It don't matter where rag. This
is the pickup Pappy Tuesday. Welcome to the Pickup with
Britt Hockeley, Laura Burn and Mattie Jay feeling in. Hey,
mat question, I've just seen his going around online. I'm
a pet lover.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yeah, am I your pet lover? Just cats?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Not so much?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
How dare you? I love all pets, cats included.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
So, I don't know if you've seen Scottie Cam. He
was on the gardening shop for years. But he's the
bloss He's the block. Yeah, everyone knows him now from
the block. Got from the block, Yeah, Scotty from the block.
He has come out and said that he taxidermis his
pets and so in his lounge room he has his
dogs and stuff like. This is not the correct terminology,
but they're like freeze driede. It is actually the freeze
dride taxidermy, you put them in the freezer. Well, I
(01:16):
don't Yes, I guess. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
But Scott, he's got some demons.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Wow, how do you feel about it? Like, I am
such a big pet lover, but I don't know if
I would want to look at a life size stuffed
my Delilah in my laundry and like watching me eat
every day for the rest of my life.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yeah, I think once the pet goes, I think you
want to say goodbye, have a moment, like, you know,
bury them under a tree.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
He actually says that. He actually says they deserve better
than being under the ground. It's sort of beautiful. Like
I understand his meaning. They're his best friends. I just
think maybe they belong in like the study.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I have been to a house before where they had
pets that were taxidermy, and it's so weird because you
walk into a room and you're like, oh, sorry, and
it's just a thing that doesn't move. It's so strange.
I can't comprehend. I can't get over taxidermy pets anyway.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
It's a bit morbid, not for me, but you go
for it, scottyham Manage, Jay, I don't know if you've
heard this. It's this time of year where it's HSC time, right,
Like seventeen eighteen year olds all around the country are
sitting down to what I remember has been the most
stressful time of your life?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Like, was it stressful for you? For me? Was why
you wanted to get into medicine? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I had to get into like a medical science degree,
and I just remember it was a different time than
I Like we didn't have all this social media. We
didn't have the ability to do jobs that were online
or like creative. It was like you go to Union
and you get a good job, you get a degree,
and there was always this pressure to get a good mark,
get into UNI, and then do what you want after.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I didn't feel didn't you any of that pressure at all? None?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
What I just remember just studying myself sick, Like.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
What, yeah, how often? Well?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I was a crammer, so I would like get good
grades throughout the year and then that last probably four
weeks before I would just be doing like twenty hour
days of just cramming.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
How do people do that? I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I work better like that. That's how I do everything
in my life.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I failed. I failed maths I failed. I did German.
I failed German at school? Yeah I was. I didn't
try it all.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Could you understand the speech that I did at my
wedding in German?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
That was terrible?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
It was actually beautiful. Well, the reason I'm talking about
this is there are eight schools around Australia summer in
Brisbane where you're from, I don't know if you went
to Brisbane State High School?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Did you down the road from me? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
What was one of them? They have all taught the
wrong subject, the wrong topic to their HSC studients.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
What do you mean? Like they taught science instead of maths?
How do I do that?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
So it was ancient history, which is hard enough as
it is, right numbers and people, and they.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
See, that's your first mistake if you're a kid doing
ancient history. I mean, come on, well.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
They taught them for the whole year. They taught them
about Augustus Caesar instead of Julius Caesar.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah, they just got the Caesar salads mix up. I mean,
so there's these kids. Imagine that realization. I mean, you
don't care because you couldn't care about your HC as
you just said, but imagine coming into what you feel
is the biggest exam of your life. You're like, what
two weeks away and your school says, whoops, we taught you.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
The wrong the wrong Caesar. That's an easy mistake to make.
There's too many Caesars out there.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Well, I mean, is it a mistake. It's just the
same last name.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
It's like learning you know Michelangelo and who's the Ninja Turtle?
Instead of the imagine you.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Get into your age scene, you do a whole essay.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
On the ninja. He was good friends with Splinter and
they were fighting crime.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
It's pretty insane.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
So what happens now? What happens now?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Well, I don't know what outcome I would want if
I was the student. So basically they tried to let
them cram. So they put together emergency resources for like
their last two weeks to send out to all the
kids and basically be like good luck, like double down
on this for two weeks. But I just think that's
super unfair. You can't cram it year, so unfair.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
But also to any of those students right now who
were taught the wrong subject, just know that there are
people out there who didn't do very well at the HC.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
And there were billions of dollars and.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
They ended up on radio with a great media career.
So if I can be okay, you can too. Well.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
What they've done, Matt is they're basically giving them like
a scalable score, an average of whatever they did throughout
the year, because you know, you do assessments and tests
and I wouldn't know for those point at home, so
they just went back and took all of that and
gave it an average. But that doesn't work well for
the people that are like, oh, I know, I'll kill
the exam at the end of the year, so I
(05:48):
don't need to nail my essays. I don't know, it's
pretty cooked.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Just question what mark did you get at the end
of school?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Oh god, I think about eighty eight or eighty nine.
I thought you were doing better than that, But then
because I was regional, they give you four points, so
I ended up in the nineties, which got me into
whatever I wanted. Basically, so you cheated, well, yeah, by
being a country bumpkin. Did you get a grace? Did
you get like a regional bonus? Did they still do that?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
It's actually interesting they do that because it's almost like
they're being like, Oh, these people don't.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Know how to study.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
They're from the country, Like, let's give them some Why
did I get that from Brisbane? But from the schools
that teaches the wrong thing?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, we're disadvantaged. Help a brother out.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Mandy Jay. I'm glad you're in here feeling in today
because I want to get your take on this list.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Do you?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
And I've been talking about all morning the hot parenting
list of rules that have come out of Hollywood. So
I think it was on BuzzFeed, but a bunch of
celebrities have said the I don't know if they're weird
and wonderful, but rules that they put on their kids
that might be a little bit left field are a
little bit different. And it got me thinking, is there
anything about the way that you parent that you think
(06:59):
is a little bit different to how the average person?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
My parents, I think I'm pretty boring. My rules are
very same. I don't think they're going to surprise anyone
out there. I think the biggest one at the moment
that Laura and I always have debates over is about
screen time, and we now have a rule where we
don't allow the girls to watch any TV Monday to
Thursday TV treat time. They're gonna have that Friday night, yep.
(07:24):
And then we allow them to have like an hour
on a Saturday and a Sunday because they turn feral
with any TV. That's about it though.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yeah, but I think that's good. When I was a kid,
we had we didn't watch a lot of TV, but
we had a plate what was it what was before
a PlayStation Nintendo sixty four vintage vintage. But there were
four of us kids. We all got to play half
an hour each MAX on like a Saturday, and that
was it. It was times like we had a proper timer
and it doesn't didn't matter where you were on Rainbow Road.
(07:53):
You got it taken from you and then you had
to go outside and play. So strict.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I like that. Yeah, I think that's a great rule.
Kids these days they could learn from that.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Well, there's a lot of Hollywood to come out. I
want to read you some of them and go and
see what you think. So Drew Barrymore, for example, she
has come out and said that she put a strict
rule down that her kids, under no circumstances, can act
no one. Even though she was like one of the
greatest child actors. She's like banned them from acting until
their eighteenth Yeah, I think Drew.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
I get that she grew up way too quick. She
was in like Studio fifty four when she was three.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I think she was in like rehab when she was
eleven or twelve or something. So I understand why.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I get that. Here's a weird one. My favorite, Courtney Kardashian.
She has said that her kids aren't allowed to use
the microwave. That's such a rich person thing, isn't it.
Maybe I should stop using the microwave. Do you know what?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
That's supposed to be a lot of science backed in that.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Well, She says, when I had Mason, I did a
lot of health related research and decided to get rid
of my microwave when she read that toxins from plastic
containers can be transferred to the food. But hey, don't
put your plastic in the microwave.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Come on, Courtney, change it to a like one of
her like, of.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Course, use your crockery. Come on, guys, use.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Your microwave safe bowl. Gwyneth Paltrow, she's always a little
bit weird. She's got a kick called Apple was weird anyway?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Paltrow. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
I say, Paltrow, What do you say, Paltrow?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
What do you say?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Produce a great Paltrow?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I think, Wow, yeah, I've been saying it wrong.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
You have, Yeah, it's Groweth Paltrow. She said that her
kids weren't allowed to watch TV unless it was in
French or Spanish, which is pretty brilliant and mean at
the same time.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I do that with my kids, but I just tell
them that they're two tired, so they kind of understand
the words.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Do they believe that? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I put it. I put it on in like Mandarin.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Surely they're old enough to know what a different language is.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
What's happening about you? You're so tired? Time for bad kid?
Off you go.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
It's about like eleven am. Apparently that is like the
best way to teach your kid a language is from
when they're really little, like toddlers, all their cartoons or
whatever you're letting them watch. You put in a different language. Yeah,
because you think of how much, think of how many
things your kids come up with that you've never taught them. Right,
You're like, where do they get that word from? They
(10:04):
get it from the cartoons and watching TV? And all
that kind of thing. So if you're that age where
they're so impressionable and they're a sponge, if you're putting
just like French on, they're going to speak French.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Nope, it doesn't work like that. It does if you
have taught your child another language, please call us right now.
Purely from cartoons, I think that's wishful thinking.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Okay. The other thing was Madonna said that if her
kids leave their clothes on the ground, she takes them
and puts them in a bag and they have to
earn their clothes back with chores, so.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
They're walking around naked.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Is that well, I think that's.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Child abuse, Madonna? How dare you? This last one here?
I actually liked this one. This is from Kristen Bell
and dak Shepherd. Their kids have to share a room
because they believe it allows them to figure out how
to share, and you know, for a closet and close
for example, it's where you have to live in a
space where you're sharing your community with somebody else.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I actually love that. I never had my own room.
So my me and my sister are three is apart,
and from as long as I can remember, as long
as she was born. We shared a room un till
I was about to turn seven.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
That explains a lot. You're a very caring, giving person.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
We are very my sister, I am very close, and
I think I would do that even if I had
multiple rooms in my house. I think there's something cool
about getting your kids to share it. Not till you're seventeen, though.
I did try to move to the garage, but that's
another story. Mandy Jay, you got yourself into another pickle.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Have you look? Something shocking has happened and I'm just
going to come out here and admit it. Britt, I
have cheated on Laura.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Wow, is that the place that you want to admit
that I was on before I finish?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Stay with me here, not in real life. But I've
had an affair. I don't know how long it's been
going on for, but it happened in Laura's dream.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Ah, So that you can't make those blanket statements I
cheated on Laura and then have a silence. You know
that headline's gone daily rail take.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
To take a breath, an awkward time for a breath,
but a breath nonetheless.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
So you've had an affair that you didn't know you
were a part of Well.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I wake up and I rolled over, and as I
normally do when I wake up, I give my beautiful
wife I kiss and she seemed a little off, and
I was like, is something wrong? What's happened? And She's like,
I had a terrible dream last night. And I was like, well,
tell me what happened. She goes, I found you in
bed with another person. Who was it? We don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
We can't figure it out.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
We haven't yet figured who it is. Laura didn't say
that it was someone that we knew. It was like
a random person. They were like stranger, they're a stranger.
But Laura caught me red handed. Okay, And now she's
woken up and she's found herself a little bit annoyed
at me because dream Matt has had an affair. Matt's
a wenka and he's no good. He's a bad guy.
(12:49):
But I said to Laura, you can't be angry at me.
You've woken up. We're no longer in your dream. So
whatever happened or whatever I did in that dream, it
doesn't transcend into real life because I have no control
over what dream Matt does in your dream. Evidently, and
She's like, yeah, but I'm just a little bit annoyed
by it, So you're gonna have to just give me
(13:10):
a bit of space. Ah what, I can't be held responsible.
I don't control the actions of dream Matt in your dreams.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Laura's crazy. I love her. She's Craig Crag Laura.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
If you're listening, I love you so much.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Laura's Craig Graat. You cannot be angry about something that's
not real and it didn't happen it.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Have you you been married for what a year? Less
than three months? Okay?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Have you ever since being married or even beforehand? Actually,
have you had a dream where Ben, your now husband,
has cheated on you?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
No? But okay, whoa, I've had a dream that I've
cheated Oh yeah, that is that's worse. Yeah, and it
made me feel sick. I woke up and I felt
sick because it was with somebody that I didn't like,
and I had zero like it was with someone I knew.
It was really weird because I don't mean I don't
like them as a person. They're not attractive at all,
(14:06):
like for me, like, and I think I don't think
they're attractive because I don't like who they are as
a person. And I had a dream that And it's
interesting because even in the dream, I didn't want to
be there, but I couldn't get out of my dream,
So it's not like I was enjoying the moment. In
my dream, I was like, why are you doing this?
You don't have to do this. I was like talking
to myself. But dream Brittany was like, here we are
(14:26):
in this lucid state.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Did you admit that to Ben? Yeah? And how did
he react? He just laughs.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
It's not cheating, guys. What you're doing your dreams is
not cheating. And anyone that tells you including more.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
If you're doing it in your own dreams, I think
that's another kettle of fish.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
It's not cheating. So how did you work it out
with Laura? Did you have to buy flowers? No?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
We just you know, I gave us some space.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Did you have to break up with the fake affair? Well?
Speaker 2 (14:49):
I can't because it's not my dream. I don't have
access to that. But can we, collectively, as a whole
as a nation, just agree that whatever happens in dream
sequences in your own mind, that can't translate to then
being frustrated at your partner in real life.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
I A no one run with this. I literally read
this this morning and I'm trying to bring it to one. Apparently,
they just did the first shared dream experiment ever where
it's almost like borderline telepathy. I think they did it
with like an MRI and in what state, but they
one person's thought in a dream state swapped to another
(15:26):
person and they reckon. It is the beginning of actually
being able to share dreams, which is insane. Grace has
just looked it up.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I need to do that and then smack dream Mattager
in the face and be like, what are you doing.
You've got a beautiful wife here, you idiot. And until
that happens, Laura's just still going to be mad.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
At So maybe soon Laura'll be able to join you
in your dream. Hey, on that note, let's get out
of here. Mandy J stoped cheating on Laura.

It's a bit morbid, not for me, but you go
for it, scottyham Manage, Jay, I don't know if you've
heard this. It's this time of year where it's HSC time, right,
Like seventeen eighteen year olds all around the country are
sitting down to what I remember has been the most
stressful time of your life?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Like, was it stressful for you? For me? Was why
you wanted to get into medicine? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I had to get into like a medical science degree,
and I just remember it was a different time than
I Like we didn't have all this social media. We
didn't have the ability to do jobs that were online
or like creative. It was like you go to Union
and you get a good job, you get a degree,
and there was always this pressure to get a good mark,
get into UNI, and then do what you want after.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I didn't feel didn't you any of that pressure at all? None?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
What I just remember just studying myself sick, Like.

I was a crammer, so I would like get good

Speaker 2 (03:13):
I failed. I failed maths I failed. I did German.

Yeah, they just got the Caesar salads mix up. I mean,
so there's these kids. Imagine that realization. I mean, you
don't care because you couldn't care about your HC as
you just said, but imagine coming into what you feel
is the biggest exam of your life. You're like, what
two weeks away and your school says, whoops, we taught you.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
The wrong the wrong Caesar. That's an easy mistake to make.
There's too many Caesars out there.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Well, I mean, is it a mistake. It's just the
same last name.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
It's like learning you know Michelangelo and who's the Ninja Turtle?
Instead of the imagine you.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Get into your age scene, you do a whole essay.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
On the ninja. He was good friends with Splinter and
they were fighting crime.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
It's pretty insane.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
So what happens now? What happens now?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Well, I don't know what outcome I would want if
I was the student. So basically they tried to let
them cram. So they put together emergency resources for like
their last two weeks to send out to all the
kids and basically be like good luck, like double down
on this for two weeks. But I just think that's
super unfair. You can't cram it year, so unfair.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
But also to any of those students right now who
were taught the wrong subject, just know that there are
people out there who didn't do very well at the HC.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
And there were billions of dollars and.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
They ended up on radio with a great media career.
So if I can be okay, you can too. Well.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
What they've done, Matt is they're basically giving them like
a scalable score, an average of whatever they did throughout
the year, because you know, you do assessments and tests
and I wouldn't know for those point at home, so
they just went back and took all of that and
gave it an average. But that doesn't work well for
the people that are like, oh, I know, I'll kill
the exam at the end of the year, so I
(05:48):
don't need to nail my essays. I don't know, it's
pretty cooked.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Just question what mark did you get at the end
of school?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Oh god, I think about eighty eight or eighty nine.
I thought you were doing better than that, But then
because I was regional, they give you four points, so
I ended up in the nineties, which got me into
whatever I wanted. Basically, so you cheated, well, yeah, by
being a country bumpkin. Did you get a grace? Did
you get like a regional bonus? Did they still do that?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
It's actually interesting they do that because it's almost like
they're being like, Oh, these people don't.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Know how to study.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
They're from the country, Like, let's give them some Why
did I get that from Brisbane? But from the schools
that teaches the wrong thing?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, we're disadvantaged. Help a brother out.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Mandy Jay. I'm glad you're in here feeling in today
because I want to get your take on this list.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Do you?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
And I've been talking about all morning the hot parenting
list of rules that have come out of Hollywood. So
I think it was on BuzzFeed, but a bunch of
celebrities have said the I don't know if they're weird
and wonderful, but rules that they put on their kids
that might be a little bit left field are a
little bit different. And it got me thinking, is there
anything about the way that you parent that you think
(06:59):
is a little bit different to how the average person?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
My parents, I think I'm pretty boring. My rules are
very same. I don't think they're going to surprise anyone
out there. I think the biggest one at the moment
that Laura and I always have debates over is about
screen time, and we now have a rule where we
don't allow the girls to watch any TV Monday to
Thursday TV treat time. They're gonna have that Friday night, yep.
(07:24):
And then we allow them to have like an hour
on a Saturday and a Sunday because they turn feral
with any TV. That's about it though.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yeah, but I think that's good. When I was a kid,
we had we didn't watch a lot of TV, but
we had a plate what was it what was before
a PlayStation Nintendo sixty four vintage vintage. But there were
four of us kids. We all got to play half
an hour each MAX on like a Saturday, and that
was it. It was times like we had a proper timer
and it doesn't didn't matter where you were on Rainbow Road.
(07:53):
You got it taken from you and then you had
to go outside and play. So strict.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I like that. Yeah, I think that's a great rule.
Kids these days they could learn from that.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Well, there's a lot of Hollywood to come out. I
want to read you some of them and go and
see what you think. So Drew Barrymore, for example, she
has come out and said that she put a strict
rule down that her kids, under no circumstances, can act
no one. Even though she was like one of the
greatest child actors. She's like banned them from acting until
their eighteenth Yeah, I think Drew.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
I get that she grew up way too quick. She
was in like Studio fifty four when she was three.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I think she was in like rehab when she was
eleven or twelve or something. So I understand why.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I get that. Here's a weird one. My favorite, Courtney Kardashian.
She has said that her kids aren't allowed to use
the microwave. That's such a rich person thing, isn't it.
Maybe I should stop using the microwave. Do you know what?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
That's supposed to be a lot of science backed in that.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Well, She says, when I had Mason, I did a
lot of health related research and decided to get rid
of my microwave when she read that toxins from plastic
containers can be transferred to the food. But hey, don't
put your plastic in the microwave.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Come on, Courtney, change it to a like one of
her like, of.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Course, use your crockery. Come on, guys, use.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Your microwave safe bowl. Gwyneth Paltrow, she's always a little
bit weird. She's got a kick called Apple was weird anyway?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Paltrow. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
I say, Paltrow, What do you say, Paltrow?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
What do you say?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Produce a great Paltrow?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I think, Wow, yeah, I've been saying it wrong.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
You have, Yeah, it's Groweth Paltrow. She said that her
kids weren't allowed to watch TV unless it was in
French or Spanish, which is pretty brilliant and mean at
the same time.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I do that with my kids, but I just tell
them that they're two tired, so they kind of understand
the words.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Do they believe that? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I put it. I put it on in like Mandarin.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Surely they're old enough to know what a different language is.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
What's happening about you? You're so tired? Time for bad kid?
Off you go.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
It's about like eleven am. Apparently that is like the
best way to teach your kid a language is from
when they're really little, like toddlers, all their cartoons or
whatever you're letting them watch. You put in a different language. Yeah,
because you think of how much, think of how many
things your kids come up with that you've never taught them. Right,
You're like, where do they get that word from? They
(10:04):
get it from the cartoons and watching TV? And all
that kind of thing. So if you're that age where
they're so impressionable and they're a sponge, if you're putting
just like French on, they're going to speak French.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Nope, it doesn't work like that. It does if you
have taught your child another language, please call us right now.
Purely from cartoons, I think that's wishful thinking.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Okay. The other thing was Madonna said that if her
kids leave their clothes on the ground, she takes them
and puts them in a bag and they have to
earn their clothes back with chores, so.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
They're walking around naked.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Is that well, I think that's.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Child abuse, Madonna? How dare you? This last one here?
I actually liked this one. This is from Kristen Bell
and dak Shepherd. Their kids have to share a room
because they believe it allows them to figure out how
to share, and you know, for a closet and close
for example, it's where you have to live in a
space where you're sharing your community with somebody else.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I actually love that. I never had my own room.
So my me and my sister are three is apart,
and from as long as I can remember, as long
as she was born. We shared a room un till
I was about to turn seven.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
That explains a lot. You're a very caring, giving person.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
We are very my sister, I am very close, and
I think I would do that even if I had
multiple rooms in my house. I think there's something cool
about getting your kids to share it. Not till you're seventeen, though.
I did try to move to the garage, but that's
another story. Mandy Jay, you got yourself into another pickle.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Have you look? Something shocking has happened and I'm just
going to come out here and admit it. Britt, I
have cheated on Laura.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Wow, is that the place that you want to admit
that I was on before I finish?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Stay with me here, not in real life. But I've
had an affair. I don't know how long it's been
going on for, but it happened in Laura's dream.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Ah, So that you can't make those blanket statements I
cheated on Laura and then have a silence. You know
that headline's gone daily rail take.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
To take a breath, an awkward time for a breath,
but a breath nonetheless.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
So you've had an affair that you didn't know you
were a part of Well.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I wake up and I rolled over, and as I
normally do when I wake up, I give my beautiful
wife I kiss and she seemed a little off, and
I was like, is something wrong? What's happened? And She's like,
I had a terrible dream last night. And I was like, well,
tell me what happened. She goes, I found you in
bed with another person. Who was it? We don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
We can't figure it out.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
We haven't yet figured who it is. Laura didn't say
that it was someone that we knew. It was like
a random person. They were like stranger, they're a stranger.
But Laura caught me red handed. Okay, And now she's
woken up and she's found herself a little bit annoyed
at me because dream Matt has had an affair. Matt's
a wenka and he's no good. He's a bad guy.
(12:49):
But I said to Laura, you can't be angry at me.
You've woken up. We're no longer in your dream. So
whatever happened or whatever I did in that dream, it
doesn't transcend into real life because I have no control
over what dream Matt does in your dream. Evidently, and
She's like, yeah, but I'm just a little bit annoyed
by it, So you're gonna have to just give me
(13:10):
a bit of space. Ah what, I can't be held responsible.
I don't control the actions of dream Matt in your dreams.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Laura's crazy. I love her. She's Craig Crag Laura.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
If you're listening, I love you so much.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Laura's Craig Graat. You cannot be angry about something that's
not real and it didn't happen it.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Have you you been married for what a year? Less
than three months? Okay?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Have you ever since being married or even beforehand? Actually,
have you had a dream where Ben, your now husband,
has cheated on you?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
No? But okay, whoa, I've had a dream that I've
cheated Oh yeah, that is that's worse. Yeah, and it
made me feel sick. I woke up and I felt
sick because it was with somebody that I didn't like,
and I had zero like it was with someone I knew.
It was really weird because I don't mean I don't
like them as a person. They're not attractive at all,
(14:06):
like for me, like, and I think I don't think
they're attractive because I don't like who they are as
a person. And I had a dream that And it's
interesting because even in the dream, I didn't want to
be there, but I couldn't get out of my dream,
So it's not like I was enjoying the moment. In
my dream, I was like, why are you doing this?
You don't have to do this. I was like talking
to myself. But dream Brittany was like, here we are
(14:26):
in this lucid state.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Did you admit that to Ben? Yeah? And how did
he react? He just laughs.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
It's not cheating, guys. What you're doing your dreams is
not cheating. And anyone that tells you including more.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
If you're doing it in your own dreams, I think
that's another kettle of fish.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
It's not cheating. So how did you work it out
with Laura? Did you have to buy flowers? No?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
We just you know, I gave us some space.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Did you have to break up with the fake affair? Well?
Speaker 2 (14:49):
I can't because it's not my dream. I don't have
access to that. But can we, collectively, as a whole
as a nation, just agree that whatever happens in dream
sequences in your own mind, that can't translate to then
being frustrated at your partner in real life.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
I A no one run with this. I literally read
this this morning and I'm trying to bring it to one. Apparently,
they just did the first shared dream experiment ever where
it's almost like borderline telepathy. I think they did it
with like an MRI and in what state, but they
one person's thought in a dream state swapped to another
(15:26):
person and they reckon. It is the beginning of actually
being able to share dreams, which is insane. Grace has
just looked it up.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I need to do that and then smack dream Mattager
in the face and be like, what are you doing.
You've got a beautiful wife here, you idiot. And until
that happens, Laura's just still going to be mad.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
At So maybe soon Laura'll be able to join you
in your dream. Hey, on that note, let's get out
of here. Mandy J stoped cheating on Laura.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
