Happy Friday everyone, It is the Pickup with Britt Hockey
and Laura Byrne.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
The update that the world has been waiting for. Well,
we've been talking about a lot this week.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
We were talking about the CEO who stole the hat
at the tennis I'm a little kid at the tennis
And there's been all these apologies going viral, but actually
has been a real apology.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I mean, if you were listening to.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
The show earlier in the week, I'm going to butcher
all their names because they're all in Polish, so I'm
not gonna even try.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
But Peter was it Peter?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I thought it was like Poetrick or something. Yeah, it's
the Polish version of Peter.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Polish version of Peter.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
So basically, if you didn't see it, one of the
tennis players was signing a hat and he handed it
to this little like twelve thirteen year old boy and
this very wealthy ceo. As it's come out and the
internet did with the internet did they found him. He
leant over and he snatched it kind of out of
the kids. Well it was kind of out of the
kid's hand, but as it was being handed to him at.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
The same time, he stole it from the kids, so
he put it right.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
In his wife's bag.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Anyway, there's been lots of apologies that have come out.
We unpacked it on Wednesday, but there actually has been
a real apology, and he's said that he's looking at
taking legal action against social media and all the fake
apologies good luck because it's framed him to be so bad.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
But he said this.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
For years, my wife and I have been involved in
supporting children and young athletes, but this incident has shown
me that a moment of inattention can undo years of
work and support. It is painful, but necessary lesson in humility.
What he was trying to say is that he thought
that the tennis player was handing him the hat, not
the child who's handf calling bs.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Anyone can watch that and see blatantly went to the
small ten year old boy and he took it from his.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
You know what it makes me think, it's like the
backhanded apology. It's like, oh, I'm sorry, but I'm not
really going to take accountability.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
You know, I'm sorry, I got call.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
No do you know what it is? And I'm I
agree with him a little bit. I agree that, like, Okay,
people make mistakes. They're human, and sometimes it's like, cool,
ninety five percent of my life I donate to charity
or I'm a good person or whatever. And I slipped
up once. I get that, like, people make mistakes, but
you also don't get to use that as an excuse
for being an a hole on a global scale. Like
I have supported kids in the past, so I'm allowed
(02:39):
to steal from that kid.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
And the thing is is like the internet's going to
do what the internet does. And they tracked him down
and we all made a meme out of the guard.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Now he's suing the interwebs. Okay, it is Father's Day
this weekend.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I haven't organized anything yet.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Well, I already gave my dad a Father's Day present.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Actually, well done, well done organized.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yeah, but I want to give all you dads out
there a present right now. I Am going to give
you the gift of the ultimate dad jokes. Now, I
love a dad joke. Shockingly, I'm not a dad, but
I do love them. I love a bad joke, and
I feel like people need to be armed with new
jokes going into the weekend. The problem I have is that, sorry,
we're keeping you up, Laura. Wow, guys, I'm about to
(03:21):
have a baby. Okay, all I do is yawn and
have reflux.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
No, the problem with jokes for me is like my
brain does not retain them. I hear them, I laugh,
and then I just can never recall them, whereas you're
full of like.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
My dad is also very good at a dad joke.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I reckon you'll know some of these laws, so if
you know, I'm try.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
The only one I have is the toilet paper one,
which I've told about ten times.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Why did the four year old?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Why did the toilet paper roll down the hill get
to the bottom?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
They get to the bottom.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
All right, Ready, we're gonna start with my favorite topic.
Why are pirates pirates?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Because they are?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
What's a pirate's favorite letter? Or you think that be?
It would be the sea? So it's not stupid, it
is brilliant, all right. Or where does the pirate go
to get his hook?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
No?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Not this second hand store.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Oh is this just gonna be a break on pirate jokes?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Is that what this is?
Speaker 3 (04:19):
I wanted to start with that, but I'm done. So
why can't you hear terodactyor going to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Because they don't go to the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Well, besides the fact they're extinct, the pe is silent.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Oh that's true. Yeah, that's good, that's clever. Clever.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
My wife told me to stop acting like a flamingo.
I knew it was time to put my foot down.
Oh why should you never throw Grandpa's false teeth at
a vehicle?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Because it would be very silly.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
I don't know any of these because you might dent
share the car.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Oh that's terrible.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
That wasn't good.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Was a terrible one. You might dent your car.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
You might d I watch it.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
That blame the one terrible del Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Why do bees have sticky hair?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I don't know? This is having honey? It's not funny.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
You're almost there because they use honey comb. Oh god, okay,
my last.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Time, I feel like we should get people to call
for this.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
This is probably more now I've got my last one.
This is my favorite joke, and I know you know it, Laura.
I used it on The Bachelor many years ago. It's
how I almost wanted to go off but didn't.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Do you reckon that this was the thing that turned
him off. He was so close to choosing you and
then you whipped out this terrible joke and he was like, Oh,
I can't do with that for the rest of my life.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
I brought it in really early. That's what actually sold him.
I think that's why he kept me around. But then
I just it just wasn't enough to bring home its
after that, you know it, Laura, But for everyone in
the car, this is a joke I want you to
use on the weekend. What did the cheese say when
it looked in the mirror?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Do you know that? Georgia Love said this on her
Season two?
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Halloo me, it's hallo me.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
That's not a goodle one, Britt, It's terrible.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Did you hear about the explosion at the cheese factory?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
There was debris everywhere?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
No, there was nothing left but debris. Don't butcher my jokes,
you know, how do you get a bear out of
a tree with cammen bear.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
We must go with we must be done with this.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
All we want to say is Happy Father's Day to
all the dads out there, and hopefully your jokes are
better than Brits.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Not all heroes. We're cap I'm here to.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
We wanted to.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Talk about something the Kim Kardashian has done, because she
has blown up the internet apparently. Now this is quite
a divisive comment that she's made around whether or not
kids should be doing homework at home. This is what
she had to say. I don't believe in homework. Kids
are in school for eight hours a day. When they
come home, they need to also do sports, have a life,
(06:53):
spend time with their family. I think that it should
be left for in schools. Now, parents and teachers are
very divided in this. It has had quiet. The debate
span out across social media. And my question to you is, Britce,
I mean, I know you don't have kids. I did
do homework, yeah, but you were a human who did
homework once upon a time.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Do we think that homework should we be doing at home?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Do you think there's too much expectation on kids these
days to get it all done outside of school as well.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I understand what she's saying, and I understand why it's
divided the internet, because what she's saying, you know, is true.
By the time kids get home, there is so much
stuff that they need to do to actually just live
their life.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
So especially if your kids are in our school care,
it's like they literally get time to come home, have dinner,
and go to bed one.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Hundred percent by the time you like shower, unpack for
the day, talk about your day a little bit, to
then sit down for hours, and also the parent has
to sit down and do the homework too. I understand
what she's saying is like it's too much for them,
but I think it's important because you say that a
kid goes to school for eight hours, they're not learning
for eight hours. You know, there's peeing there, they're doing sport,
they've got lunches and recesses. Sometimes you'll watch movies, and
(07:56):
there's so many different creative types of learning. I do
understand that homework is like a reiteration of what you've
learned in the day, and some people need that double
down to learn something like there's not many people that
hear something once, especially as a kid. I remember when
I was learning things for like exams, I would have
to read it so many times. Then I would have
(08:17):
to write it so many times because that's how I learned.
I couldn't just read something and remember it.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
We went to this school orientation recently. First, so like
for Maley to get her into a high school. We
went to this school orientation meeting and they had all
these little kids on stage and they were talking about
like what their a week looks like.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
At the school.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Some of these kids have busier schedules than adults who
were at full time work. Like they're at school, then
they've got before school netball, then they got after school sport,
then they've got to do homework, then they got library time. Honestly,
I was like, how are these kids managing these schedules?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
It's so much on them.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
But then also as a parent, how do you have
any real understanding about what they're learning or being engaged
in their learning unless you're actually sitting down and doing
homework with them and having like that moment to really
engage with where they're at in the school process.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I kind of think it's important.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Well, the comments were going off on this and there
were some really good points that came out from teachers.
So one teacher said, as a teacher who has to
deal with twelve year olds, I'm telling you that they
can't read and write. They need homework, and the parents
need to be right there making sure it gets done,
which gives them, you know, like gives them one on
one school help whatever. But basically saying a lot of
teachers are saying more children than ever can't read and
(09:24):
write properly totally.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
But the other thing as well with that is like
teachers work so hard.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
They have such full on jobs.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Their jobs don't end at three pm or three thirty
whenever school finishes. They've got to go home, They've got
to prep the work for the next day. They've got
to do the marketing, the grading. Like there is so
much responsibility on teachers to be the absolute sole provider
of education for kids, and like they can't do it all,
and we shouldn't expect them to do it all.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
As parents, we have to help that load as well.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Maybe the meat in the middle is like it's just
a smaller amount of homework or something.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Maybe it's might be done.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Yeah, you can, you can't eat enuffer like we did.
But you know what, if your Kim Kardashian's kids, you
don't need homework. Both your parents are billionaires, your fee,
you don't need to.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Rest of your life, don't write, speak, do anything is
going to be okay for you.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
You still work out fine, wear that.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Band around your head that she just released and you're good.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Do you know the band that such a chin in
the face girl? Or yeah, she released that? Like these
kids are sweet, so she can say that she doesn't
believe in homework.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
And it is time for our little Wins of the
Week Friday. We like to wrap it up in a
nice little bow, give you the chance to win five
hundred dollars spent at chemist Warehouse. And all you have
to do is call up and tell us what was
your little moment of celebration this week?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Like this week, I stepped on a rusty nail and
I didn't get an infection.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
We don't have tetanus. That is a big win.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
I did get a booster shop.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
All right, we've got Lauren on the phone. Lauren, what's
your little win of the week.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
So I beat my nine year old daughter in a
four hundred meter running race.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I reckon.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
You have a bit of an unfair advantage on your
nine year old daughter.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Do you normally lose to her?
Speaker 4 (11:01):
No, I'm not really athletic at all, Lauren.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Do you know what I like about this? Most parents
let their kids win.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
But I like that you're really instilling in your child
that not everyone's a winner.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
That's true, and I'm super competitive, so I'm trying to
teach her that, but also trying to teach her it's
okay to lose sometimes as well.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Great, all right, Lauren, stick around. We've got a couple
more callers. Sharon, what is your little win of the week?
Speaker 5 (11:23):
My little win of the week was I ran out
of my favorite foundation. I didn't getting ready to work
on Monday and popped up to your chemist warehouse and
lo and behold fifty percent off the foundation.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
So that's always a huge win sales Chemist Warehouse, aren't they?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I love you're doing it Beforis Sharon. All right, Sharon,
stick around. We've got Sarah on the line. Sarah, what
was your little win of the week.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Yeah, so I went over to my boyfriends on the
weekend and he was making me fresh banana bread and
the absolute sweetheart that's not the win. The win is
that when I say goodbye, I said I love you,
and he said I love you too, for the first
time back, which was really really nice.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Hang on, how many times before this had you said
I love you without a response?
Speaker 6 (12:10):
A couple of times. But I also said the first
time I said it, I said, don't feel the need
to say it back until you're ready, because I'd rather
you mean it.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Oh, so you've just thrown it out there with getting
nothing back about banana bread.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
Well foods his love language, and he feeds me all
the time. I already kind of knew in his heart.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
So I love this.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
I love it because like most people would most people
would wait it out. They would, like most women don't
want to be the first one to say it, so
they waited out until the guy says it.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I love that. You were like, you know what, I'm
just going to keep doing it. Eventually, you're going.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
To do it. I remember when my ex told me
he loved me for the first time and I didn't
love him. He's like and I didn't expect it. He's like, Okay,
I love you, and I was like thanks, and then
I walked away.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I was like what do you say to that.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
No, I've definitely had someone tell me that they loved
me before, and I said it back under duress.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
When I told him, I told him like I gave
him their heads up, like you don't need to say anything.
I'm absolutely fine. Love is freely given, so I didn't
want him to feel anxious.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Sarah, do you know what else is freely given? You
can get five hundred dollars, been a chemist, were health.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
It's not free to cost someone five hundred dollars, but
you can take it.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
Oh my god, thank you so much. That's really helpful.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
That was so sweet. Oh it sounds like you've had
a lovely week. Go and make out with your boyfriend.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Thanks.

Speaker 3 (05:05):

Speaker 2 (05:13):
I don't know? This is having honey? It's not funny.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
You're almost there because they use honey comb. Oh god, okay,
my last.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Time, I feel like we should get people to call
for this.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
This is probably more now I've got my last one.
This is my favorite joke, and I know you know it, Laura.
I used it on The Bachelor many years ago. It's
how I almost wanted to go off but didn't.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Do you reckon that this was the thing that turned
him off. He was so close to choosing you and
then you whipped out this terrible joke and he was like, Oh,
I can't do with that for the rest of my life.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
I brought it in really early. That's what actually sold him.
I think that's why he kept me around. But then
I just it just wasn't enough to bring home its
after that, you know it, Laura, But for everyone in
the car, this is a joke I want you to
use on the weekend. What did the cheese say when
it looked in the mirror?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Do you know that? Georgia Love said this on her
Season two?
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Halloo me, it's hallo me.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
That's not a goodle one, Britt, It's terrible.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Did you hear about the explosion at the cheese factory?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
There was debris everywhere?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
No, there was nothing left but debris. Don't butcher my jokes,
you know, how do you get a bear out of
a tree with cammen bear.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
We must go with we must be done with this.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
All we want to say is Happy Father's Day to
all the dads out there, and hopefully your jokes are
better than Brits.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Not all heroes. We're cap I'm here to.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
We wanted to.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Talk about something the Kim Kardashian has done, because she
has blown up the internet apparently. Now this is quite
a divisive comment that she's made around whether or not
kids should be doing homework at home. This is what
she had to say. I don't believe in homework. Kids
are in school for eight hours a day. When they
come home, they need to also do sports, have a life,
(06:53):
spend time with their family. I think that it should
be left for in schools. Now, parents and teachers are
very divided in this. It has had quiet. The debate
span out across social media. And my question to you is, Britce,
I mean, I know you don't have kids. I did
do homework, yeah, but you were a human who did
homework once upon a time.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Do we think that homework should we be doing at home?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Do you think there's too much expectation on kids these
days to get it all done outside of school as well.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I understand what she's saying, and I understand why it's
divided the internet, because what she's saying, you know, is true.
By the time kids get home, there is so much
stuff that they need to do to actually just live
their life.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
So especially if your kids are in our school care,
it's like they literally get time to come home, have dinner,
and go to bed one.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Hundred percent by the time you like shower, unpack for
the day, talk about your day a little bit, to
then sit down for hours, and also the parent has
to sit down and do the homework too. I understand
what she's saying is like it's too much for them,
but I think it's important because you say that a
kid goes to school for eight hours, they're not learning
for eight hours. You know, there's peeing there, they're doing sport,
they've got lunches and recesses. Sometimes you'll watch movies, and
(07:56):
there's so many different creative types of learning. I do
understand that homework is like a reiteration of what you've
learned in the day, and some people need that double
down to learn something like there's not many people that
hear something once, especially as a kid. I remember when
I was learning things for like exams, I would have
to read it so many times. Then I would have
(08:17):
to write it so many times because that's how I learned.
I couldn't just read something and remember it.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
We went to this school orientation recently. First, so like
for Maley to get her into a high school. We
went to this school orientation meeting and they had all
these little kids on stage and they were talking about
like what their a week looks like.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
At the school.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Some of these kids have busier schedules than adults who
were at full time work. Like they're at school, then
they've got before school netball, then they got after school sport,
then they've got to do homework, then they got library time. Honestly,
I was like, how are these kids managing these schedules?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
It's so much on them.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
But then also as a parent, how do you have
any real understanding about what they're learning or being engaged
in their learning unless you're actually sitting down and doing
homework with them and having like that moment to really
engage with where they're at in the school process.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I kind of think it's important.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Well, the comments were going off on this and there
were some really good points that came out from teachers.
So one teacher said, as a teacher who has to
deal with twelve year olds, I'm telling you that they
can't read and write. They need homework, and the parents
need to be right there making sure it gets done,
which gives them, you know, like gives them one on
one school help whatever. But basically saying a lot of
teachers are saying more children than ever can't read and
(09:24):
write properly totally.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
But the other thing as well with that is like
teachers work so hard.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
They have such full on jobs.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Their jobs don't end at three pm or three thirty
whenever school finishes. They've got to go home, They've got
to prep the work for the next day. They've got
to do the marketing, the grading. Like there is so
much responsibility on teachers to be the absolute sole provider
of education for kids, and like they can't do it all,
and we shouldn't expect them to do it all.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
As parents, we have to help that load as well.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Maybe the meat in the middle is like it's just
a smaller amount of homework or something.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Maybe it's might be done.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Yeah, you can, you can't eat enuffer like we did.
But you know what, if your Kim Kardashian's kids, you
don't need homework. Both your parents are billionaires, your fee,
you don't need to.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Rest of your life, don't write, speak, do anything is
going to be okay for you.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
You still work out fine, wear that.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Band around your head that she just released and you're good.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Do you know the band that such a chin in
the face girl? Or yeah, she released that? Like these
kids are sweet, so she can say that she doesn't
believe in homework.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
And it is time for our little Wins of the
Week Friday. We like to wrap it up in a
nice little bow, give you the chance to win five
hundred dollars spent at chemist Warehouse. And all you have
to do is call up and tell us what was
your little moment of celebration this week?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Like this week, I stepped on a rusty nail and
I didn't get an infection.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
We don't have tetanus. That is a big win.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
I did get a booster shop.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
All right, we've got Lauren on the phone. Lauren, what's
your little win of the week.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
So I beat my nine year old daughter in a
four hundred meter running race.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I reckon.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
You have a bit of an unfair advantage on your
nine year old daughter.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Do you normally lose to her?
Speaker 4 (11:01):
No, I'm not really athletic at all, Lauren.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Do you know what I like about this? Most parents
let their kids win.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
But I like that you're really instilling in your child
that not everyone's a winner.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
That's true, and I'm super competitive, so I'm trying to
teach her that, but also trying to teach her it's
okay to lose sometimes as well.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Great, all right, Lauren, stick around. We've got a couple
more callers. Sharon, what is your little win of the week?
Speaker 5 (11:23):
My little win of the week was I ran out
of my favorite foundation. I didn't getting ready to work
on Monday and popped up to your chemist warehouse and
lo and behold fifty percent off the foundation.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
So that's always a huge win sales Chemist Warehouse, aren't they?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I love you're doing it Beforis Sharon. All right, Sharon,
stick around. We've got Sarah on the line. Sarah, what
was your little win of the week.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Yeah, so I went over to my boyfriends on the
weekend and he was making me fresh banana bread and
the absolute sweetheart that's not the win. The win is
that when I say goodbye, I said I love you,
and he said I love you too, for the first
time back, which was really really nice.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Hang on, how many times before this had you said
I love you without a response?
Speaker 6 (12:10):
A couple of times. But I also said the first
time I said it, I said, don't feel the need
to say it back until you're ready, because I'd rather
you mean it.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Oh, so you've just thrown it out there with getting
nothing back about banana bread.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
Well foods his love language, and he feeds me all
the time. I already kind of knew in his heart.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
So I love this.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
I love it because like most people would most people
would wait it out. They would, like most women don't
want to be the first one to say it, so
they waited out until the guy says it.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I love that. You were like, you know what, I'm
just going to keep doing it. Eventually, you're going.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
To do it. I remember when my ex told me
he loved me for the first time and I didn't
love him. He's like and I didn't expect it. He's like, Okay,
I love you, and I was like thanks, and then
I walked away.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I was like what do you say to that.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
No, I've definitely had someone tell me that they loved
me before, and I said it back under duress.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
When I told him, I told him like I gave
him their heads up, like you don't need to say anything.
I'm absolutely fine. Love is freely given, so I didn't
want him to feel anxious.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Sarah, do you know what else is freely given? You
can get five hundred dollars, been a chemist, were health.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
It's not free to cost someone five hundred dollars, but
you can take it.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
Oh my god, thank you so much. That's really helpful.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
That was so sweet. Oh it sounds like you've had
a lovely week. Go and make out with your boyfriend.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I will
