This is the pickup. We're back again. It's the Pickup
with Britt Hockley and Laura Burn. Hi, Brittany, Hi Lawsy.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
On Thursday, I was reading something just before we started
the show.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Tell what you think of this?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
So apparently there's been a research study that's come out,
as there is with everything on Instagram these days, but apparently.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Kids are inclined.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
To get their attractiveness from their fathers, not their mothers. Really,
I feel yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I mean that's good for me. I think my husband's hot. Yeah,
it's good for you. Okay, what about your dad? Those
My dad's hot? My dad was real hot. Your dad
is an attractive man? Why said? Still you's hot too?
So yeah, they're probably pretty good looking. Tricky. Are you
upset by this? No? I'm not.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I just I think it's interesting because both my kids
look completely different. And my husband did send me the
stat so he sent me the research paper, which probably
is of no surprise to anyone, but apparently it comes
down to things that are like traditional features and attributes
that we would say lean themselves to attractiveness, like a
strong jaw line or like defined cheekbones, like they're the
types of like bone structure and things that you inherit
(01:41):
from your father, not your mother.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Oh, my kids have big lips and my husband has
really big bone.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Structure, but actually is not what they inherit from their father.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
They inherit then my kids are going to be six
foot five.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Ben's bone structure is humongous.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Now, being that it is Thursday, it is time for
what we do every Thursday, and that is us Gun Cut.
We do it on our podcast Life on Cut podcasts
where you guys call up with your biggest, deep.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
At darkest dilemmas and we do our most.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Look, we do our best to answer them, even if
we aren't particularly qualified.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I think we're great at it. Okay, well, good, I'm
glad that someone does.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
This might be one that you're going to really be
able to help with today, Laura.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yeah, look, I don't know how I feel. We've got
Lily on the line. Lily, welcome to the show.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Hi, how are you guys?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I'm good. What is your issue that you're having?
Speaker 4 (02:27):
So I am giving birth to my second baby in
December and I have a little bit of a dilemma
on whether I bring my three year old to.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
The birth.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
In Ry.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Yeah, because it's at a birthing center, so it's an option,
and he loves the fact that there's a baby and
mummy's belly. But I'm is it going to traumatize him?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Okay, produce a grace. She floated this question with us
earlier today and I was like, wow, not so much.
Is it going to traumatize him?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
It might? I mean that that could be a thing.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
But also I don't know is your is your three
year old that does he have a long attention span?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Like is he good sitting for a long period of.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Time or well they have this rule there whether he
has to have his own support person, So for me,
it would be my mother in law would be able
to bring him in and out and that kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
I mean, it's pretty intense if you think of like that.
I don't want to rub this in but like the
pain you're gonna feel. But even if you're not feeling
the pain, you're pushing, you're grunting your unial positions, and
a baby's still coming out of you. I mean, I
haven't had kids, so I can't talk about it from
that sense, but I imagine for a three year old
that doesn't quite understand what's happening, seeing their mum like that,
(03:38):
and it's I don't think I would do it.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Lily.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Do you go through like pain medication or do you
just do it the ol natural way?
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Well, I'm hoping to do it the all natural way
this term. I'm doing it to a birth center, so
it's kind of the goal of that way when you're there.
But I didn't even think about it until I went
there and I saw all these big, beautiful photos of
younger siblings at the birth I'm like, oh.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Can they not be there for the like for once
the babies come out, like bring them in once you've
done the pushing and the babies. Everyone has such different
experiences and I would never want to like yuck someone
else's birth experience. My biggest worry would be, like I
have a four year old Lola and to imagine her
in the room. My biggest worry is that even if
she has a support person, the person that she always
(04:24):
wants the most is me, and I'm not going to
be able to tend to her because I'm going to be,
you know, in the midst of pushing a baby out myself,
and so I don't want to then have my whole
experience with my birth experience be around being worried about
her and also being worried about getting this baby out.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
I'd be more worried about the traumatizing the child, like
if you're not going for pain medication, watching your love
your mom go through that, because with no pain medication,
let's call a spade of spade, there's going to be
screaming and grunting and swearing and sweating and you're so
uncomfortable and crying and exhaustion. I don't know if that's
the you know, it's not giving the wiggles.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I don't know if.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
It's like, I don't know, I've missed the kind of
like entertainment your little kidney, Yeah, I am. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Firstly, I'd love to hear from someone who has actually
had their young kid in the room with them Also,
I think sometimes when that happens, it's usually in their
own home.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Like if people have birthed in their own house, that's.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
A bit different because the kid can kind of come
and go as they please, and they have their own
bedroom in a safe place, whereas even when you're in
a birthing suite, they're still just in a hospital, which
all feels very foreign to them.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
For me, I'm looking forward to having that time away
from my kids.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
So I don't what does your husband want to do?
Speaker 4 (05:34):
He doesn't mind. He's just like, you do whatever you
need to do. But he has flagged with me like
are you going to be able to get in the
zone fully because my three year old is very much
a mummy's boy. Yeah, so I do worry once you
said that, I'm as much as I love to have
him involved in everything, I think this might be one
(05:55):
that he has to stood out.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I did have a moment where I thought maybe my
oldest girl Marley might want to but I was like, nah,
she can come after she's Yeah, when when mum's laying
in bed having you know, eating oysters and doing all
the things I wasn't able to do prior then.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
You can come in and see clearly I'm going to
upset you and say to no from me, but I'm
going to bring you back up and say, just for
getting on air with us today, you have scored yourself
a pair of Sony's new earbuds, which are like some
amazing noise canceling that they're really really.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Taking me to thee.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
I think actually maybe for.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Your husbands you'll probably want them.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Clearly, good luck and congratulations whatever you end up choosing
to do. I mean, if you do end up having
a kid in there, please give us a call and
update us good luckily.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
I will for sure thank you.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Was I made a discovery on the weekend when I
was in a ride share And now if you guys
follow along the podcast and the show, you might remember
a couple of weeks ago I spoke about like this
really scary moment I had where I thought I was
just basically a ride shair driver had said some things
to me that was giving me the wrong vibe, you know.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Like I just didn't They're making.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Jokes, but join me saying like I'm going to take
you home to my house. It's not really haha. No,
the kidnap you cute.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Well, it had.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Those vibes, but what he was saying is like, oh, like,
for example, my wife wouldn't even care if I brought
you home right now. It was something like that, and
I was like, okay, drop.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Me off now.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Anyhow what that did now is like it just makes
me look. I don't know why, but I just click
on every like rideshare driver's profile. So when I look
at them, which does nothing right, just gives you a vibe.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
It's just their face.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
No, it also makes you sure that the person who's
car you're in is legitimately the person who's driving the car,
because that can happen too.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yes, but I do it also for a vibe. It's
a vibe check.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
And on the weekend I realized, and I don't know
how long it's been brought in for, but you can
now when you click on their profile, it has like
I guess it's a choice. I don't have to, but
it has like an about me. It's got like a
profile looks like a like a dating vibe.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
So I got in this car and I.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Did my usual due diligence, and I'm clicking on the
photos and all of a sudden, this full profile pops
up and it had like who he is, what his
age is, and then it had a like what I
like to do section.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
It's like Tinder but for uber Yeah, it's like it's
like in Uwinda. I don't know what that would be,
but that was terrible. Yeah, we'll go to what was
the window? I don't know, I.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Don't know, let me alone, And so I go onto
it and this guy's profile read like, Hey, I'm late twenties,
my name is Zach.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Wasn't Zach?
Speaker 3 (08:23):
But like I am, I am studying to be a vet,
and I'm putting myself through school. And the reason I
uber drive is because I'm saving up money to buy
a farm so that I can rescue animals.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Oh you definitely tip that person, don't you like? That's
that's a tipping machine.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
He has a child.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
I was reading this whole thing and I was like,
hang on, do you really want to buy a farm
to rescue animals or is this a something that makes
you want to tip more?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Right? Because you're like I want you to rescue animals.
I'm gonna give you all my money.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
B is the idea of it that we're supposed to
feel more safe. Who's checking these, who's be doing these?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
How do we know what they're writing is even accurate?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Well, I'm sure no one's Look.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
I have no idea what Uber is doing, but I
would say that more than not, people just feel out
and populate their own profiles. But it's the same with
Tinder or kind or any of the dating apps. I
know the ride chairs are not dating apps. Okay, but
like you have to feel out a profile. No one's
checking to see if what you write it's true?
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Yeah, but are you more inclined if the Uber drivers like, hey,
do you want to go to my farm and I'm
showing my puppies, I'm like, yeah, because your profile said
that you're rescued.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
No, No one is that silly?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
And also no one is getting in an Uber and
then like forgoing their destination to go somewhere else with
the Uber driver like hobby file.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I kind of like it.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
I like that it makes it personal. I want to
know what they've been doing. How's your day been?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Okay, you can just ask.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
My question is is are you when you get into
a ride chair, like are you a talk to the
driver type of person or you are silence?
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Don't steak to me.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
My headphone's in, I don't want to engage.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I love a chat. I love a chat.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Actually it's fifty to fifty. It depends on my mood.
But most of the time I love a chat.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I changed quickly. Yeah, well like, actually I hate it.
I don't.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I think it makes sense. Look, I quite like that
it has a personal touch. I want to know why
are you here?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
What are you doing? But you can ask them, that's true.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I could also just read their profile on the days
that I don't feel like talking.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Do you feel like it does? Does it do anything
for you? Does it make you feel safe when.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
You get in, if you've got like a bit of
a background on somebody.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
No, it doesn't necessarily make me feel safer, but it
does make me more inclined to tip them if I
feel like I'm personally invested in the story.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Yeah, five stars because he saved animal.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Do you though, do you tip? That's the question? Yeah,
a dollar. I have a question for you.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
How long do you think is acceptable to keep hold
of a used pregnancy test? Could be positive, maybe you're
holding onto a negative one. Whatever, no judgment here.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
How do we on it? Cap back on or cap
not on.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
I was about to say, probably depends on the storage.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Are you wrapping that up and gladder arap? Is it
in a container?
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Is it just floating around your pantry touching things that
you on.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
The pantry with the tiny daddies? Okay, I feel maybe.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I'm doing things wrong. I feel personally victimized by my
own husband.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
So I found out I was pregnant when Matt was overseas, right,
so he was doing I'm a celebrity to get me
out of here. He wasn't here, and I was not
expecting to be pregnant. I found out very early on.
It was only because one of my friends made a joke.
She was like, God, wouldn't it be funny if you
found out that you were pregnant while Matt's away? And
I thought, O, do not risk that, And so I
(11:26):
went to the chemist that afternoon. I bought a pregnancy
test and I went home and I did it and
there was two lines, And so then I did another
one and I did I did about six.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Funnily enough, they were all positive. I did a lot
of pregnancy tests. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I had it in my head that I was going
to show Matt the pregnancy test when he came home,
and then I just kind of forgot about it.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I put them in the bathroom drawer. I've got you're pregnant.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
I knew I was pregnud I forgot I had the test,
So I have so many of them. They were all positive,
and they were all in my draw Anyway, it turns
out that Matt came across them. Not only did he
come across them, but he seemed to have an issue
with the fact that I'd held on to them for
so long. But part of me thinks that it's quite sentimental.
And then he added me on his own podcast, which
is called Two Doting Dads.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
And this is the discussion that they had.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
How long are you allowed to keep a pregnancy test
for a positive one?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Do people hold on to these? Is it you should
get rid of it? Why?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Why?
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Dudesack bro this is something your wife's peede on.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
You're welcome. I think they're discussing parts that Matt threw
it at his.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Clost, not the fact that you kept it. That man's
gaslighting you. The comments around this were so divided. Some
people like that is repulsive cat backcasting. I can't remember
if the cat was on I might have been. I
think it was on on some of them. I think
it wasn't on others.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
It's different flesh if it's not capped up, like if
you're keeping your pregnancy testing capital, it's not wrapped in back.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
It's really a different flex maggot.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
I think I want to keep one, though I think
it's I don't know, Well.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
You do another one now, you've got a week, go
and do one, and I'm assuming it's going to be positive.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
I mean, people keep all weird kinds of things that
are sentimental.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
One of our friends, their mum kept their for.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Skin that are been chopped off, not normal, there's no
concision skin.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
They kept it.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
The only thing my mum kept I think from me,
not the only thing, but like we had a baby book,
but our first haircut. Yeah, and she like taped the
hair in, which feels weird looking back now, but like, yeah,
I've got my first hair.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
So I kept Lola's fringe, so she got her haircup
only at fringe, and I kept the fringe clippings. It's
so it's creepy, Grace, what have you kept My mum
has all my baby teeth still.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Oh that's not that's giving serial killer it is. She
said she felt.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Weird throwing them out, but she didn't really want to
keep them, so now just has them because she didn't
know what to do with them.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
So she just says a little pot of teeth. What
she going to pass those on too? And your inherited
hope not.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
It's one weird thing that we get requests for all
the time, Like as a jewelry design art's like AT's
my other job. We get so many requests to turn
all types of weird things into jewelry. And baby teeth
is one of the things, like ground down baby teeth,
someone wanted to turn it into a Ring's.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
No need, There.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Is no need for that. Hey, that's a great question.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Let us know what's like the weird thing your parents kept,
because I want someone to trump the foreskin.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
If somebody can trump that, If somebody's.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Parents are keeping something weirder than that, you win, well
full find something for you to win more than that.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
It's slide into our DMS at the pickup as well.
But I also want to know, like what is the timeframe?
Am I a creep? Because how long should I keep
this pregnancy test for forever?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Until I found out that Matt was throwing it around.
You were a bit creepy. Now Matt's a creep You're fine.
You've nothing to worry about.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I've always thought my husband was the creeping out of relationships.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
So that's fine.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
All right, we're out of here.
