Speaker 2 (00:18):
A good pickup with Britt Hockley and Laura Ben Radio Work,
Our Windows Done, That's my world, Rison the dust, only
good tabs all down.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I don't much, but yeah, I know I'll big get
and what I want.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
It don't matter where.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
This is the pickup.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I was like, hoppy, hoppy, happy hump Day was what
I was going for everyone, Everyone in.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
The cars right now, hop hom du Look, this is
live radio. Sometimes the words just don't want to come.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
I think you're doing a great job.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
I should be saying that to you.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
I did something gros silly this morning.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Hit me.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
You know, I'm someone who cares about my children. I
just want to press word.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
That we've got that all record.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
To get it out there before I tell the story.
You know what, you do something and then you think
back and you go, that was really dumb. I can
see how that.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Was going to stand badly most of my life.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Okay, So get the kids out the door this morning.
I don't want to sound like I'm being a hero,
but I do the school drop off. I do Marley
to school longer the daycare, and I do it via
my e bike.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Oh yeah, we've heard many a e bike story.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Oh I've got one more, one a week at least.
So it has a little like a kickstand. Yeah, push
it back on itself. And the stand has two pegs
either side so it doesn't lean like a bike. The
back wheel is elevated fully support it, if that makes sense.
And so I put Marley on bike. I put LNGA
(01:52):
on the bike, and then I put the kickstand up.
Except my driveway, the little strip just before it goes
onto the road, it has a little bit of a lean.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
You just rolled them away.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
And then I went to go put my helmet on,
and because they were sitting there, I was in the
garage getting my helmet. And then look because they start
screaming and the bike is tipping over.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
It fell over with the kids in it.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Look. I love my kids, Okay, I have too many
of them now. And then annoyingly, a neighbor was walking
at the same time, and so the kids have been
crushed by the bike. Have a helmet on, of course, thankfully,
And then they were both screaming, and then this lady
was trying to help, and I was just embarrassed. I'm like,
(02:40):
it's gonna be okay, like come here, and they're like, daddy, why,
And there's lady. This lady was standing there and I
kind of wanted to say to her like nothing to
see here, like move along, but she wanted to help
but didn't know how to help, and so I was
just like I just had to ride off.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Okay, that was a choice. She also didn't have to
share that story in the radio. But thank you.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Hey, no one's perfect.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
That's definitely Maddy Jay.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I am very well traveled woman. I have spent many
many moons in many many countries.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I know you are too. You're a model in Germany
that I just want to I love to sleep.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Why I say that and then laugh in my face.
Didn't It was a serious contract. I was there for
three months to make some of my best work in Hamburg. Continue.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
No, I just like to put it in as often
as I can because it is such a big flex.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Shut up.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
You didn't your model with Heidi Klum. I'm sorry, was
trying to make it sound better. It wasn't she in there?
Didn't she want to make you a super.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
I did like an Aldi catalog.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I somewhat across this list of things that you had
no idea.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Were illegal in different countries. It's a bit of a
persa for.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
The people out there, because I don't want anyone to
get arrested in another country for something that was avoidable.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
You're saving lives right now, Brittany.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Well, I would have done three of these things, all right.
First one wearing high heels at an ancient monument in Greece. Prison,
Oh wow, yep, you absolutely cannot wait, like the Acropolis.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Don't even think about it, not even wedges.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
It actually makes a bit of sense, though, why because
you know these old little stone buildings they call them,
they're very fragile.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I don't know if they cause Yeah it is, they are, right.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
And if you're clopping around on your big old platform.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
High heeling, they have horses clop around on there.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Did we know that though, Well, yeah, they're the horse
and cart I don't like gladiator.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Yeah, back in the day, yes, But recently I think
they've banned the high heels and also banned the horse.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Well, this is one I would have done. We're moving
along wearing camouflage in Barbados. I love a camo.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
I love Camo. Have you always loved camo?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I do don't mind a cameo pans where does it
come from just trying to be invisible?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
When I was younger, said no, Brittany, ever, I don't
mind a bit of Camo.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
But in Barbados, again a legal prison, you have to
be able to differentiate between their military. So if you're
walking down the street and they say and you're in Camo,
and they're lucky enough to spot.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
You, I think, but surely if you're wearing a Camo bandanner,
no one's going to look at you and Barbados and
be like, oh wow, the army looks for you.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
They look I don't give military.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Well, it's not screwing military, not quite.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
This is one I've definitely done handling salmon in suspicious
circumstances in the UK.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
You do like salmon.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I love salmon.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I would have handled that Sam, that slippery little salmon
who knew that doing that was illegal?
Speaker 4 (05:34):
What do they consider like a suspicious circumstance?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Well, I picture it like behind an alley where someone's
got a big trench coat and they open up their
coat and it's just like salmon.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
On the the old fresh Atlantic salmon.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah, apparently your salmon has to be bought from like
with the proper sources because I didn't know, but allegal
salmon farms are really big.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Yeah, you don't want the farm salmon? Do you know what?
Speaker 1 (05:56):
A little segue here? Do you know what I have
had done? But it's it's like taking the world by storm.
So my crush in this world is Jennifer Aniston, right,
And I saw that she did, so I did it.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Salmon sperm.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
You do love salmon?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
There we go, I told you, injected into your face
salmon spurn.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Well, if Jennifer Anison would jump off a cliff, would
you do it as well?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Brittany, she invited me to.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
One of the other things I've definitely done, kissing on
a train platform in France.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Okay. I love a bit of history. And apparently it
was illegal back in the day, back in nineteen ten.
And that was because they used to have all these
trained delays when people would have these big, long, passionate
kisses when they were macking on. Yeah, beautiful, But that
doesn't happen anymore because everyone's too good for it.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Well, no, I don't know if that's the case.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I think we just don't care anymore. France is pretty
strict though France, there's a lot of laws. But I'm
I'm all right for a long farewell.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
I got in really big trouble in Australia for kissing
at the airport.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Go on, yep, okay, it wasn't for the kiss, but
you know when you drop somebody off and it's.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Supposed to be a drop and go.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Because we're long distance, we're having a really long, good
passionate goodbye.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
It was very sad. I was crying again along I got.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
The whistle and then I was like that was the
warning and I was like whatever, I'm not seeing my
partner for months. And then he came up and whistled
in our face and he was going to give me
a fine.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Oh come on, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
It's also not one other person there.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
And I was crying and were you covered in the
salmon sperm everywhere?
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Maddy Jay Penny for your thoughts.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Happy Schoolies week, Brittany.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Oh god, that makes me feel old happy.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Were you ever a Toolly?
Speaker 3 (07:41):
No? I wasn't even a schoolie, let alone.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
A tolley Before I told about what I did for schoolies.
Many years ago. For me, it was back in two
thousand and four.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Can you believe that I would have been the same year.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
I think, what did you do for your like end
of year celebration?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
I am a real nerd, so I was like the
only one in my year out of all my friends
that didn't go to schoolies. I moved alone to Italy
instead because I was like, you guys go to schoolies
and waste your money. I'm going to go get learn
another language. And I lived there for a year, so
I didn't get to go to schooling too good for
the Gold Coast, not too good. But I couldn't for
some reason. I could not wait. And I loved my town,
(08:19):
I loved my school. I counted down the days till I.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Could move to another country. I don't know what it was.
I missed it.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
How much did you have to try and save up
to go to Italy?
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Not enough? I worked there illegally for cash, so I was.
It was a rough year. Yeah, but I didn't save
that much.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Do you regret not going to schoolies?
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Not one iota really, no. But you would have been
a Tolley No.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
I never was. And also that's very offensive actually.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Because you were a bit of a geek. I saw
the photos.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
I know, okay, we've all seen the I went to
the Gold Coast. That was it was the done thing
back in my day. Everyone was very excited. We stayed
at the Peninsula Hotel, which is still around. Every time
I drive through the Gold Coast, I look at the
Peninsula and I'm.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Like, you get a shut off.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
But I had a room. It was about six of
my best mates. We were up there together and bedroom apartment,
and it was like back then, it was pretty wild
on the Gold Coast. It was very dangerous going out
to the beach. I don't think it was as organized
as what it is now. They have like concerts on
the beach. It was just literally thousands of kids, all
(09:24):
just underage drinking.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
It was chaos at our age.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
There were streets.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
It was like just riots filled down the streets. The
police could not control people. It was different. I feel
like it's quite a controlled, happy environment.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Now they have a lot going on to make sure
that kids aren't just like destroying the place. But yeah,
back then it was. It was wild. And I remember
going down to the beach and I was like, nope,
not for me.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Now we're facing Bonnie Blue at schoolies.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
I know, I watched a video recently and it's of
kids who are currently on the Gold Coast enjoying their
schoolies and it's the one bit of advice they've been
given from their parents. What do you think was the
one bit of advice Britt? And he guesses protection. There's
a few protection calls, but one of them might surprise
you with the feedback they're getting.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Okay, told, not get nastyd so anything your parents have
told you not to do while on schooling.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Don't go on the balcony. Yes, balcony. Actually, my parents
would say that. They were really stressed about that. I
don't do drugs. Yeah, don't do drugs. Don't your drugs
just they just don't go too crazy.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Don't take a drink that's already been open, open them yourself.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
No drugs, and no pregnancy, don't get pregnant. It was
by her mom. My mom said, don't do what your
brother does.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
My exes mom said to me, don't put anything in
your mouth that you're not supposed to do and then
winked me.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Told not geting nastyd, so, don't chop off the old balconies.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
No trust myself, don't fall off the balcony. Wow, the
balcony was the strong content.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Yeah, well I remember back in my day, people used
to just throw the furniture off the balcony. It was
the done thing.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
You know. It's because the Gold Coast everything in the skyscrapers.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Right.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
So you're staying like twenty fours up. You're eighteen, you're
highly intoxicated. You're showing off in front of your friends.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
The concept of schoolies, it is crazy. What are we doing?
What are we doing? I'm sending seventeen year olds and
I'm seventeen. I was seventeen when I finished school and
we were sending them for a week and high rises.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
It's actually insane.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
With an alcohol my kids never going to school is
they can go on a family holiday Fiji.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Your parents must have been thrilled when you said I'm
going to go to Italy instead of.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
You're honest, it was worse.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
It was worse because my dad's like, what do you
mean You're moving alone to the other side of the world. Now,
remember we're so old. We didn't have You don't have
a phone that you can just call up, You don't
have a FaceTime.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
I had to take a card.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Remember when you got phone cards that had like thirty
digits in them, and I used to have to walk
down I have to email ahead in a week locking
a time Sunday three pm. Then I would walk it
into my local phone box. You have to enter in
the forty five digits phone card to call back, and
then you had your like fifteen minutes phone time. So
my dad was beside himself thinking I was on the
other side of the world alone.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
We both had struggles. I was on the street from
furniture being thrown off balconies. You were trying to call
your parents. Very similar experience.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Very similar. I don't know. I think school should change.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
I think we should just be going on group holidays
to like to the Fijis or something.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Let's live.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
No, I mean the Fijis of the world, like the
beautiful Islands singular Fiji, the Fijis.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
You've been here a while now about eaj You're part
of the furniture.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
I'm getting very comfortable. It's lovely. My pants are still on.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Thank god.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Laura would be asking questions if you started coming to
work with your pants off or go home with.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Your pants off. Hey, I have a question for you.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
This is a question that I saw floating around in
twebs and it was the answers. There were thousands of
people that had commented and the answers were so divisive
and I found it so interesting, and Producer Grace, I'm
gonna want your input on.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
This as well.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
When you visualize the year, okay, how do you visualize it?
I think of the months of the year January to December.
How are you seeing that in front of you right now?
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Produce a great Should I go first? Or should you
go first?
Speaker 3 (13:13):
You go first? You go first?
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Mat kay I. When I think about it, like if
I'm like, oh did that happen in January or was
it June? It's to me it's a calendar, Oh calendar
that's like a grid.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Like in your eyes you're lifting up the flat.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Well, it's more of a like a long roll like
toilet roll.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
But I think that indicates something entirely different.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
But it's just to me, it's like a bit of
a grid system where obviously have like you know, one
to thirty odd and.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Then right, so you you literally see January the days
and then you would flap that flap over and goes
to the new mark.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
I think so, I think, so, how do you see.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
A Grace, I'm a line. I see it as a
line on the left is January? On the right's December. Yeah, interesting,
so I see it the same way.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
So there were I mean, that was the first calendar
answer I saw like that matter.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
I don't think many people saw it like that.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
What does that mean?
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Guys, we'll go we'll dive into that. But I also
see it if you just quickly.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Told me to visualize that january' is on the left
and it goes all the way one really long line
and then descems at the end. But there were also
some people Grace that saw it linear, but like vertically,
so like they go down like the toilet roll. I think, yeah,
then there are some weirdos out there that are seeing
it circular. So they go all the way around in
(14:33):
a big circle and they meet.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Back at the top. For the record, If that's you
and you're a circular person, I don't think you're weird.
I don't think it's clever.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
I think it's really interesting.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
But what it did say the people that saw it
linear were generally.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Thought of as more highly intelligent.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Okay, what about the toilet role people they didn't actually
make it onto the Okay, can I ask a question then? Yeah, okay,
just to figure out who we are the type of
people that the world is round? Okay, So do you
have internal thoughts?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
I love this one too. I do. Yeah, I have
a constant internal monologue.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
And is your internal monologue? Is it your own voice?
Speaker 3 (15:11):
My own voice?
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I have a lot of empty space. I don't have
a lot of internal monologue.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
I'm not a huge talker to myself in my mind?
Speaker 4 (15:22):
Are you how do you make a decision?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I still think, Matt, when you think the internal monologue
is different, the internal monologue is like constant talking back
and forth, like not a lot of silence or downtime whenever.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
I think that's all internal thoughts, like it's all communicated.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
When you stop talking right now, what is your mind going?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Like?
Speaker 4 (15:40):
I've got a few thoughts. One is that I need
to check the car, that my car my tires need air.
I also think that I wouldn't mind a drink later on. Also,
we need baby wipes.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
But do you talk back to yourself and your brain?
So are you saying no?
Speaker 4 (15:54):
The thoughts are just yelling at me? Right now.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Yeah, and that the same for you as me. I'm
not having a conversation inside my brain. I'm just talking
about myself thoughts. That's that's not the internal monologue.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Then you do have an internal monologue. Well, yeah, everyone
has a thought. Everyone the debate that you're thinking, that's
not thoughts. Internal monologues are actually like going back and forth?
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Can I may I just excuse me? Monologue is not
back and forth. Monologue is one person.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
God, yes, I got it, but I think I got
her grace. I think you're confusing the debate.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Oh no, I think you're confusing what monologue means. A
britt you're just having thoughts. Yeah, that's a monologue.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Oh my god, I just lost a brain cell.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Okay, let's go back to my toilet paper calendar.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Toilet paper calendar.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Hey, guys, ask yourself, are you a toilet paper? Are
you a linear or are you a circular? When you
see the month of the year
Speaker 4 (16:48):
And if you're confused as well, great, Welcome to the club.

A good pickup with Britt Hockley and Laura Ben Radio Work,
Our Windows Done, That's my world, Rison the dust, only
good tabs all down.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I don't much, but yeah, I know I'll big get
and what I want.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
It don't matter where.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
This is the pickup.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I was like, hoppy, hoppy, happy hump Day was what
I was going for everyone, Everyone in.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
The cars right now, hop hom du Look, this is
live radio. Sometimes the words just don't want to come.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
I think you're doing a great job.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
I should be saying that to you.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
I did something gros silly this morning.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Hit me.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
You know, I'm someone who cares about my children. I
just want to press word.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
That we've got that all record.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
To get it out there before I tell the story.
You know what, you do something and then you think
back and you go, that was really dumb. I can
see how that.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Was going to stand badly most of my life.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Okay, So get the kids out the door this morning.
I don't want to sound like I'm being a hero,
but I do the school drop off. I do Marley
to school longer the daycare, and I do it via
my e bike.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Oh yeah, we've heard many a e bike story.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Oh I've got one more, one a week at least.
So it has a little like a kickstand. Yeah, push
it back on itself. And the stand has two pegs
either side so it doesn't lean like a bike. The
back wheel is elevated fully support it, if that makes sense.
And so I put Marley on bike. I put LNGA
(01:52):
on the bike, and then I put the kickstand up.
Except my driveway, the little strip just before it goes
onto the road, it has a little bit of a lean.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
You just rolled them away.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
And then I went to go put my helmet on,
and because they were sitting there, I was in the
garage getting my helmet. And then look because they start
screaming and the bike is tipping over.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
It fell over with the kids in it.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Look. I love my kids, Okay, I have too many
of them now. And then annoyingly, a neighbor was walking
at the same time, and so the kids have been
crushed by the bike. Have a helmet on, of course, thankfully,
And then they were both screaming, and then this lady
was trying to help, and I was just embarrassed. I'm like,
(02:40):
it's gonna be okay, like come here, and they're like, daddy, why,
And there's lady. This lady was standing there and I
kind of wanted to say to her like nothing to
see here, like move along, but she wanted to help
but didn't know how to help, and so I was
just like I just had to ride off.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Okay, that was a choice. She also didn't have to
share that story in the radio. But thank you.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Hey, no one's perfect.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
That's definitely Maddy Jay.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I am very well traveled woman. I have spent many
many moons in many many countries.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I know you are too. You're a model in Germany
that I just want to I love to sleep.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Why I say that and then laugh in my face.
Didn't It was a serious contract. I was there for
three months to make some of my best work in Hamburg. Continue.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
No, I just like to put it in as often
as I can because it is such a big flex.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Shut up.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
You didn't your model with Heidi Klum. I'm sorry, was
trying to make it sound better. It wasn't she in there?
Didn't she want to make you a super.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
I did like an Aldi catalog.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I somewhat across this list of things that you had
no idea.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Were illegal in different countries. It's a bit of a
persa for.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
The people out there, because I don't want anyone to
get arrested in another country for something that was avoidable.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
You're saving lives right now, Brittany.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Well, I would have done three of these things, all right.
First one wearing high heels at an ancient monument in Greece. Prison,
Oh wow, yep, you absolutely cannot wait, like the Acropolis.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Don't even think about it, not even wedges.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
It actually makes a bit of sense, though, why because
you know these old little stone buildings they call them,
they're very fragile.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I don't know if they cause Yeah it is, they are, right.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
And if you're clopping around on your big old platform.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
High heeling, they have horses clop around on there.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Did we know that though, Well, yeah, they're the horse
and cart I don't like gladiator.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Yeah, back in the day, yes, But recently I think
they've banned the high heels and also banned the horse.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Well, this is one I would have done. We're moving
along wearing camouflage in Barbados. I love a camo.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
I love Camo. Have you always loved camo?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I do don't mind a cameo pans where does it
come from just trying to be invisible?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
When I was younger, said no, Brittany, ever, I don't
mind a bit of Camo.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
But in Barbados, again a legal prison, you have to
be able to differentiate between their military. So if you're
walking down the street and they say and you're in Camo,
and they're lucky enough to spot.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
You, I think, but surely if you're wearing a Camo bandanner,
no one's going to look at you and Barbados and
be like, oh wow, the army looks for you.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
They look I don't give military.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Well, it's not screwing military, not quite.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
This is one I've definitely done handling salmon in suspicious
circumstances in the UK.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
You do like salmon.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I love salmon.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I would have handled that Sam, that slippery little salmon
who knew that doing that was illegal?
Speaker 4 (05:34):
What do they consider like a suspicious circumstance?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Well, I picture it like behind an alley where someone's
got a big trench coat and they open up their
coat and it's just like salmon.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
On the the old fresh Atlantic salmon.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah, apparently your salmon has to be bought from like
with the proper sources because I didn't know, but allegal
salmon farms are really big.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Yeah, you don't want the farm salmon? Do you know what?
Speaker 1 (05:56):
A little segue here? Do you know what I have
had done? But it's it's like taking the world by storm.
So my crush in this world is Jennifer Aniston, right,
And I saw that she did, so I did it.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Salmon sperm.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
You do love salmon?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
There we go, I told you, injected into your face
salmon spurn.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Well, if Jennifer Anison would jump off a cliff, would
you do it as well?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Brittany, she invited me to.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
One of the other things I've definitely done, kissing on
a train platform in France.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Okay. I love a bit of history. And apparently it
was illegal back in the day, back in nineteen ten.
And that was because they used to have all these
trained delays when people would have these big, long, passionate
kisses when they were macking on. Yeah, beautiful, But that
doesn't happen anymore because everyone's too good for it.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Well, no, I don't know if that's the case.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I think we just don't care anymore. France is pretty
strict though France, there's a lot of laws. But I'm
I'm all right for a long farewell.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
I got in really big trouble in Australia for kissing
at the airport.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Go on, yep, okay, it wasn't for the kiss, but
you know when you drop somebody off and it's.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Supposed to be a drop and go.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Because we're long distance, we're having a really long, good
passionate goodbye.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
It was very sad. I was crying again along I got.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
The whistle and then I was like that was the
warning and I was like whatever, I'm not seeing my
partner for months. And then he came up and whistled
in our face and he was going to give me
a fine.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Oh come on, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
It's also not one other person there.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
And I was crying and were you covered in the
salmon sperm everywhere?
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Maddy Jay Penny for your thoughts.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Happy Schoolies week, Brittany.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Oh god, that makes me feel old happy.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Were you ever a Toolly?
Speaker 3 (07:41):
No? I wasn't even a schoolie, let alone.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
A tolley Before I told about what I did for schoolies.
Many years ago. For me, it was back in two
thousand and four.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Can you believe that I would have been the same year.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
I think, what did you do for your like end
of year celebration?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
I am a real nerd, so I was like the
only one in my year out of all my friends
that didn't go to schoolies. I moved alone to Italy
instead because I was like, you guys go to schoolies
and waste your money. I'm going to go get learn
another language. And I lived there for a year, so
I didn't get to go to schooling too good for
the Gold Coast, not too good. But I couldn't for
some reason. I could not wait. And I loved my town,
(08:19):
I loved my school. I counted down the days till I.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Could move to another country. I don't know what it was.
I missed it.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
How much did you have to try and save up
to go to Italy?
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Not enough? I worked there illegally for cash, so I was.
It was a rough year. Yeah, but I didn't save
that much.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Do you regret not going to schoolies?
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Not one iota really, no. But you would have been
a Tolley No.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
I never was. And also that's very offensive actually.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Because you were a bit of a geek. I saw
the photos.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
I know, okay, we've all seen the I went to
the Gold Coast. That was it was the done thing
back in my day. Everyone was very excited. We stayed
at the Peninsula Hotel, which is still around. Every time
I drive through the Gold Coast, I look at the
Peninsula and I'm.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Like, you get a shut off.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
But I had a room. It was about six of
my best mates. We were up there together and bedroom apartment,
and it was like back then, it was pretty wild
on the Gold Coast. It was very dangerous going out
to the beach. I don't think it was as organized
as what it is now. They have like concerts on
the beach. It was just literally thousands of kids, all
(09:24):
just underage drinking.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
It was chaos at our age.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
There were streets.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
It was like just riots filled down the streets. The
police could not control people. It was different. I feel
like it's quite a controlled, happy environment.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Now they have a lot going on to make sure
that kids aren't just like destroying the place. But yeah,
back then it was. It was wild. And I remember
going down to the beach and I was like, nope,
not for me.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Now we're facing Bonnie Blue at schoolies.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
I know, I watched a video recently and it's of
kids who are currently on the Gold Coast enjoying their
schoolies and it's the one bit of advice they've been
given from their parents. What do you think was the
one bit of advice Britt? And he guesses protection. There's
a few protection calls, but one of them might surprise
you with the feedback they're getting.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Okay, told, not get nastyd so anything your parents have
told you not to do while on schooling.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Don't go on the balcony. Yes, balcony. Actually, my parents
would say that. They were really stressed about that. I
don't do drugs. Yeah, don't do drugs. Don't your drugs
just they just don't go too crazy.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Don't take a drink that's already been open, open them yourself.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
No drugs, and no pregnancy, don't get pregnant. It was
by her mom. My mom said, don't do what your
brother does.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
My exes mom said to me, don't put anything in
your mouth that you're not supposed to do and then
winked me.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Told not geting nastyd, so, don't chop off the old balconies.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
No trust myself, don't fall off the balcony. Wow, the
balcony was the strong content.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Yeah, well I remember back in my day, people used
to just throw the furniture off the balcony. It was
the done thing.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
You know. It's because the Gold Coast everything in the skyscrapers.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Right.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
So you're staying like twenty fours up. You're eighteen, you're
highly intoxicated. You're showing off in front of your friends.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
The concept of schoolies, it is crazy. What are we doing?
What are we doing? I'm sending seventeen year olds and
I'm seventeen. I was seventeen when I finished school and
we were sending them for a week and high rises.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
It's actually insane.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
With an alcohol my kids never going to school is
they can go on a family holiday Fiji.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Your parents must have been thrilled when you said I'm
going to go to Italy instead of.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
You're honest, it was worse.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
It was worse because my dad's like, what do you
mean You're moving alone to the other side of the world. Now,
remember we're so old. We didn't have You don't have
a phone that you can just call up, You don't
have a FaceTime.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
I had to take a card.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Remember when you got phone cards that had like thirty
digits in them, and I used to have to walk
down I have to email ahead in a week locking
a time Sunday three pm. Then I would walk it
into my local phone box. You have to enter in
the forty five digits phone card to call back, and
then you had your like fifteen minutes phone time. So
my dad was beside himself thinking I was on the
other side of the world alone.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
We both had struggles. I was on the street from
furniture being thrown off balconies. You were trying to call
your parents. Very similar experience.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Very similar. I don't know. I think school should change.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
I think we should just be going on group holidays
to like to the Fijis or something.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Let's live.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
No, I mean the Fijis of the world, like the
beautiful Islands singular Fiji, the Fijis.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
You've been here a while now about eaj You're part
of the furniture.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
I'm getting very comfortable. It's lovely. My pants are still on.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Thank god.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Laura would be asking questions if you started coming to
work with your pants off or go home with.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Your pants off. Hey, I have a question for you.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
This is a question that I saw floating around in
twebs and it was the answers. There were thousands of
people that had commented and the answers were so divisive
and I found it so interesting, and Producer Grace, I'm
gonna want your input on.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
This as well.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
When you visualize the year, okay, how do you visualize it?
I think of the months of the year January to December.
How are you seeing that in front of you right now?
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Produce a great Should I go first? Or should you
go first?
Speaker 3 (13:13):
You go first? You go first?
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Mat kay I. When I think about it, like if
I'm like, oh did that happen in January or was
it June? It's to me it's a calendar, Oh calendar
that's like a grid.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Like in your eyes you're lifting up the flat.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Well, it's more of a like a long roll like
toilet roll.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
But I think that indicates something entirely different.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
But it's just to me, it's like a bit of
a grid system where obviously have like you know, one
to thirty odd and.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Then right, so you you literally see January the days
and then you would flap that flap over and goes
to the new mark.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
I think so, I think, so, how do you see.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
A Grace, I'm a line. I see it as a
line on the left is January? On the right's December. Yeah, interesting,
so I see it the same way.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
So there were I mean, that was the first calendar
answer I saw like that matter.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
I don't think many people saw it like that.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
What does that mean?
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Guys, we'll go we'll dive into that. But I also
see it if you just quickly.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Told me to visualize that january' is on the left
and it goes all the way one really long line
and then descems at the end. But there were also
some people Grace that saw it linear, but like vertically,
so like they go down like the toilet roll. I think, yeah,
then there are some weirdos out there that are seeing
it circular. So they go all the way around in
(14:33):
a big circle and they meet.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Back at the top. For the record, If that's you
and you're a circular person, I don't think you're weird.
I don't think it's clever.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
I think it's really interesting.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
But what it did say the people that saw it
linear were generally.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Thought of as more highly intelligent.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Okay, what about the toilet role people they didn't actually
make it onto the Okay, can I ask a question then? Yeah, okay,
just to figure out who we are the type of
people that the world is round? Okay, So do you
have internal thoughts?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
I love this one too. I do. Yeah, I have
a constant internal monologue.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
And is your internal monologue? Is it your own voice?
Speaker 3 (15:11):
My own voice?
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I have a lot of empty space. I don't have
a lot of internal monologue.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
I'm not a huge talker to myself in my mind?
Speaker 4 (15:22):
Are you how do you make a decision?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I still think, Matt, when you think the internal monologue
is different, the internal monologue is like constant talking back
and forth, like not a lot of silence or downtime whenever.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
I think that's all internal thoughts, like it's all communicated.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
When you stop talking right now, what is your mind going?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Like?
Speaker 4 (15:40):
I've got a few thoughts. One is that I need
to check the car, that my car my tires need air.
I also think that I wouldn't mind a drink later on. Also,
we need baby wipes.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
But do you talk back to yourself and your brain?
So are you saying no?
Speaker 4 (15:54):
The thoughts are just yelling at me? Right now.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Yeah, and that the same for you as me. I'm
not having a conversation inside my brain. I'm just talking
about myself thoughts. That's that's not the internal monologue.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Then you do have an internal monologue. Well, yeah, everyone
has a thought. Everyone the debate that you're thinking, that's
not thoughts. Internal monologues are actually like going back and forth?
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Can I may I just excuse me? Monologue is not
back and forth. Monologue is one person.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
God, yes, I got it, but I think I got
her grace. I think you're confusing the debate.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Oh no, I think you're confusing what monologue means. A
britt you're just having thoughts. Yeah, that's a monologue.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Oh my god, I just lost a brain cell.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Okay, let's go back to my toilet paper calendar.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Toilet paper calendar.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Hey, guys, ask yourself, are you a toilet paper? Are
you a linear or are you a circular? When you
see the month of the year
Speaker 4 (16:48):
And if you're confused as well, great, Welcome to the club.
