Speaker 2 (00:19):
Good pickup with Britt Hockley and.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Laura ben Bady, work our windows down. That's my worries
in the dust.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Only good tabs all down.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
I've don't much, but yeah I'm not.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
I'll big get and what I want. It don't matter.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Where ragg This is the pickup.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Happy hum day everyone, It's the pickup with Britt Hackley
and Laura Van.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
What's going on in your little brain today?
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Low?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
No, nothing's going on much.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
That's a big, real notable.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
I follow a very dumb Instagram page which is called
Weird Facts, and I.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Really enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I think that's if you knew half of the facts
that this page post, you would think it's dune like
this one. For example, edible underwear was invented when a
couple was drunk and high while discussing the phrase eat
my shorts.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Imagine that.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Imagine sitting down after having a few beers with your
husband and then saying, eat my shorts and then going.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
You know what, you should eat my shorts.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
You know where eat my shorts is from The Simpsons. Yeah,
I'm pretty sure edyone ws were before Simpsons.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Bough No, eat my shorts has been around for longer
than that.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I think I think he just coined it.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Producer Grace is on the case he didn't create the term.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Don't tell me my weird fat website is not right.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Edible underwear known as candy pants invented in nineteen seventy five.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Would the expression eat my shorts?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
So maybe me eat my shorts predated Simpsons?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Thank you God forbid that the Simpsons didn't come up
with something. I know they can tell.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
The future fortune tellers, aren't they apparently?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Apparently? Look, I mean, I'll save you some other ones
of these.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
How about this one? I've got another one. A heroic
man broke into his neighbour's burning home and rescued their dog.
He later found out that the house was actually not real. Sorry,
the fire was not real. It was just a hallucination
from the LSD he had consumed. And he broke into
their house and kidnapped their dog.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Why is it all about drugs? I don't know, both
just to do drugs?
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Just those two? Okay, who you said? I've got one
more for you.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Only three people in the nation were qualified to hand
pack the parachutes for Apollo fifteen.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Grace can you cut her off?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Was so vital that they were not allowed to write
in the same car together, all that an auto accident
could cripple the space program.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Fascinating stuff, guys.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah, this is how we lose our job. This is
this is the moment. I want us all to remember.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
This happened to me a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
But I've been questioning whether or not I should tell
the story.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
If you ever question if you should tell us during
national radio, usually the answer is no.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Well usually, and also sometimes I'm like, do I have
any dignity left?
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Also?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
No, do we need content for the week?
Speaker 6 (02:49):
Fine?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Oh, here it is, here's my soul.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
So we've been doing quite a big renovation down south
at the moment of a house a couple of hours
drive from where we live, and when we've been heading
down there, we've been staying and it is so close
to being finished this renovation, Like I just feel like
it is the reno that never ends the homestretch. But
we were down there staying in the house, and there
(03:12):
was some issues with the electricals because this is what happens, right,
when you're renovating a house, the first time you stay
in it, you start to see like all of the
little things that haven't quite been done or need to
be fixed. So we had had an electrician come out
for the day. There was quite a lot of jobs
that he needed to do. He needed to install the
outdoor lights and some inside blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
On the edge of my seat. What other lights did
he have to install?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
The ones in the bathroom, the outdoor lights weren't connected
to the indoor whatever. It was a whole thing, right. Also,
he wasn't bad to look at. The man was very attractive.
That's convenient. It was a good looking rooster, easy on
the eye. So he's in the house running around and
my husband Matt's there, and we've all kind of like
been trying to get organized for the day at the
(03:54):
same time, but also at the same time we're having
to like talk to the electrician who has questions. Anyway,
Matt left and it's just me and it's the electrician
in the house and he's finished for the day. He's
been there for quite a few hours, and he's says like, oh,
like see.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
You love all done, I'm gonna leave now.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
And the house is really close to the beach, and
I had been waiting for him to leave so I
could go for a swim.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I was desperate to just get out of the house
for the day.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
And I left the garage, opened the door open, and
I saw you can see from inside the house straight
out into the street. So I saw him get in
his car and I saw.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Him drive away. Bye, good looking mister electrician man. So
I got to my bedroom.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
And I get naked, and I'm like, oh, I'm gonna
get my swimmers, but except I couldn't find my swimmers.
They were obviously downstairs in the laundry. So I get
out from the bedroom and I walk straight downstairs and
I'm midway between the upstairs and the downstairs, coming down
the stairs like I'm trapped in the in the flight
of stairs, and standing there in.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
The lounge room is the electrician.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
So he's come back to the house because there's something
that he's forgotten.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Didn't make it known, didn't call out.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
He probably didn't think you were going to strip off
with him.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Thirty seconds he walked in and I was completely butt
usd naked with nowhere to run except to turn around
and run back up the stairs, which meant not only
did he see my.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Front, he also saw my behind. Because how do you.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Do it?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
How do you navigate it?
Speaker 5 (05:18):
You didn't have to run away, he had to run
away to go, He would have had to run up
the stairwell as well.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
He could turn around.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
I think it's I don't know if he's already seen
the front.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
I'd just back away slowly.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
I'd walk backwards up the stairs like crab claw around
the corner.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I just had like this three seconds of like absolute
fear take over my body, and I was like, how
do I get out of this situation? Because the only
way forward is backwards? And now I have to turn around.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Oh you just finished telling using how good looking he was?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Are you sure he said goodbye?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Are we like? Oh my god? Whoops? I didn't know
you were here.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I thought you'd lambs. I just happened to me making
on stairs.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
I told him aout this story, and he was like whatever,
Laura shut off.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Because as yeah, when.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
The electricity come in, I was like, he's a good
looking rooster, isn't he mat And then I had to
tell Matt that I got naked in front of him.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
I didn't go down.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Well, imagine if Matt walks in and just has this
awkward moment where he says, you need on the stairs
looking and him looking at you, if you're looking at
hear him.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yeah, it's like the awkward triangle.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Anyway, I can't ever see him again. No, he's coming
back to the house and I.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Have to leave.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
It's got to put the solar in.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Yeah, I'll tell you about that though.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Recently on our podcast that we do it's called lifel
on Cup podcast if you haven't heard of it, we
got to sit down with Britney Saunders and interview her
around her incredible success with her label Fate the Label.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
If you don't know Britney, she is an Internet sensation.
She is one of Australia's most rapidly growing entrepreneurs. She's
recently written a book called Just Getting Started, all about
her entrepreneurship. She's someone who I follow on Instagram and
have done for a really long time and it's so
amazing to see how quickly her brand and her business
(06:54):
has evolved over the last couple of years.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah, we caught up with her to chat all things business.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
How she's done it, biggest regrets what she wishes she
did differently.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
It's a perfect chat.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
And I also think for anybody who has ever considered
starting their own small business or wants to get into
starting a label, this is and for a lot of moms,
like you know, having kids becomes that transition time where
people stat entertaining the idea of starting small businesses through
social media or online. This is one of those conversations
that is going to be so incredibly helpful.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Let's get into the chat.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
Looking back now, there was so many things that I
did throughout my teens or even earlier that were signs
that I was always destined to be an entrepreneur.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
I didn't grow up with like the greatest parents.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
I've never had anyone tell me like I should have goals,
or like I should try hard in school or anything.
So from a young age, I was just kind of
forced to figure stuff out on my own. I think
that's one of my biggest strengths. But just from when
I was a little kid, I was always trying to
do something of my own, and I just thought it
was hobbies like setting up a little stall out the
front of my house to try and sell like my.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Toys or whatever.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
I don't think kids do that anymore, but I think
now there's a lot of like strange.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Yeah, I was the.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Person I did lemonade.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
I I've just bought them from the store and up
sold them.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
I think what I did after Easter one time, selling
all my leftover chopping.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah, brilliant waste and whatnot.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
And so there was lots of little things like that
that I did.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
And then obviously I discovered YouTube in high school and
I thought, that looks great. I want to give that
a go, and so I started making YouTube videos in
high school, just sitting.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
In my room at home by myself, talking to myself.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
And to cut a long story short, I dropped out
of school because I just wanted to work.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
I just wanted to earn money. And I worked in
over twenty.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
Jobs, all the while trying all these little business ventures.
And then by the time I was twenty one and
I'd worked in every industry possible because I just hated
every job that I got and nothing made me happy.
I grew that YouTube channel to eighty thousand subscribers, which
was a big deal back then.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
It was huge. You were like an early adapter.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Yeah, it was before the word influencer was a thing.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
It was when Instagram was just starting, so that I
was organically building this Instagram following and then I threw
in my full time job at the age of twenty
one and thought, I'm going to make this YouTube thing
my job.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
And I haven't looked back.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Some of the early chapters in your book.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
There's another one called google it, which seems pretty self explanatory.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
And do you want to know something funny too?
Speaker 6 (09:15):
As I wrote the book and was doing all the chapters,
and I did them like all out of order as well,
like I would just go, I want to do a
chapter about this, and so I'd write it and then
I'd decide later we're in the book. It was going
to go like, I didn't write the book in order,
so if it seems out of order, that's that's why.
And so as I had the Google doc happening and
I was writing all of these chapters, all the titles,
(09:35):
I just put them in there as like a draft
like google it hat wearer, and I thought, down the
track will give them a better title. They're all still
the average like that. They didn't change it at all.
They're like yeah, and I'm like, oh, I just put
out there like because.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
That's what I don't know.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
But it seems like such a I mean google It
seems like such a really basic.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Obvious thing.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
But when Laura and I even started this, we've like
six years ago. We talked often about the fact that
we literally googled how to start a podcast, and then
you google how to do a contract. Yeah, like every
single thing that we did we didn't know anyone.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
In the industry and we had to learn it.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
I've googled everything that I know, Like, I've never done
a course, I never went to UNI, I.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Didn't finish school.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
It's googled.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Yeah, I've googled everything.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
So there's a whole chapter in there because it's one
of the questions that I'll get asked, like how did
you learn how to do all this stuff that you do?
Speaker 4 (10:21):
I literally just googled it.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
Today, in twenty twenty five, I'm still googling shit every day.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
If you guys want to listen to that entire interview,
you can go and search Life Uncut podcasts wherever you
get your podcasts, and here the whole thing. There's so
many goodies in that if you are starting a business,
or you know someone that starting a business, or you're
thinking of it, it's brilliant.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
Laura.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Remember back in the day, those.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Missed connections that people used to do, like the equivalent
of a newspaper dating site. So if you had a
moment with someone in real life, like you were getting
the train to work and you looked across the platform
and you saw somebody and you had this moment across
it and you were like wow, and they were giving
you the eyes back then they got on the train.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
You never saw them again.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
You know what this was, And I wonder if it
rolled out all across the country or not. But this
was the free newspaper that you would get from the train,
and there was a column, a special dedicated editor's column
where you wrote into the editor. And you were like
platform two, one o'clock.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
You were wearing a red hat.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
It always says you green shirt, me high ponytail.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I laughed at you.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Whatever.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
It's like, it's always these and then they're supposed to
find it and find you when you live happily ever after.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I remember this like vividly because I would always look
to try and see if someone had sent one in
about me.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
A loser narciss is the right word, or just a
loser is the right way.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
I was like, so desperate for.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Someone to love me.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
Well, I have had an idea off the back of
one that I have seen one. So some people are
still putting them online, like some people are still finding
them and putting them online. It's not a thing like
it was. But I just need you to listen to
this because I was laughing out loud. This is on
a site misconnection site. You were the tall brunette with
a near perfect body that farted in the bread section
last night. I was the tall guy next to you
(12:05):
that looked over and asked, was that you you? Quick
he replied, no, it wasn't. You almost seemed insulted that
I would even ask. As the stink grew, you continued
to deny your flatuance, but it was evident I tried
to get rid of the stench by waving two loaves
of chabbata bread. You proceeded to storm off in an
anchery manner. You are beautiful, and even if you are
(12:28):
a liar and you fight like a Clysdale, I'd still
love to meet up.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
That's not real I died of love.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
It was so funny.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
It got me.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Thinking I could be real.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
People let them drop accidentally all the time. And there's
only two people in an aisle and there's a smell
and you know it's not you.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
You then know it's the only other person there.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
When you started that, I thought you were about to
say this has been written about me, but then as
it proceeded to.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Be talking about farts. But you know, okay, this is
a real tangent.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
We don't have to go down this path, but I'm
going to say it anyway. I walked into a lyft
the other day, got on at level two. There was
only one person in lyft, and then we traveled together,
and it was so evident that they had just farted
in the lift before I got in. Also not okay,
a funny story.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Sorry, okay, I've just been thinking about it.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
So dumb. So I never fought in front of my
fiance band.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
It's like a thing I've just said, I don't fright
in front of partners, like I'll do it in other locations.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
So recently, so dumb.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Recently, I was over visiting him and we were practicing
our first dance for our wedding, and we filmed the
whole thing. We put the camera up, and then we
just proceed to do our dance. Now it's only he
and I in the hotel room.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
It's not a dance studio.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
We're just in at home. Anyway, he lifted you up.
You accidentally farted?
Speaker 5 (13:48):
No, but I farted, but it was quiet, so I
was like, didn't care. Then I smelt it and I
was like, oh my god. I got to get on
the front of foot. Yeah, but I don't know what
I was thinking. I stopped and I was like, babe,
did you just fart? And he was like, I know,
it's so obvious because he knows it wasn't him, and
he's like no, and I was like, yes, you did.
That's disgusting. He's like, oh my god, you did. And
that was me trying to get myself out of it.
(14:09):
We're only in this anyway. We have this full fight
on camera. Guy who fared, But obviously it was me
like what was I thinking? I'm sorry, but are you
fourteen years old? And secondly, what has this got to
do with lost connections? Sorry, no, it's not.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
It was back to the.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Fart souse Okay, I took it a little sideway. Here's
my idea. I want to help people. There are people
out there. I know there's someone listening right now that
has had that moment who I mean sorry.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Who's had a misconnection, who's parted the siper mugget.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
I want to help a miss connection, like I want
to find one and make it happen.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
So we are looking for people that might have had.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
That moment anywhere in a nightclub or walking to work,
or at work, or in a cafe anytime. We want
you to call up and we're going to try and
help you, and we're gonna make this well. This is
my plan. It might not work after a couple of weeks,
and the producers can it. It's going to be a
mini series.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
But let's go.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Let's go whole hog in the interim until that happens.
Let's put everything, all the resources we have.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
What's more important? Love or money? Or love and money?
Maybe we'll find you both.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Call up or writing too, the pickup writing to Laura
and myself on Instagram or the pickups Instagram or the
wind page whatever. If you have a misconnection or somebody
that you are looking for, we want to help you
find them, Like, we genuinely want to try and make
this happen, Britt.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I also want to point out to you that these
things only end well if the other person is interested.
Otherwise it comes off like they're a stalker. But like,
that's okay, we can figure that out live on air.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
You just said you looked every week to see if
you were in it. People want to well, that's it
from us, guys.

Good pickup with Britt Hockley and.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Laura ben Bady, work our windows down. That's my worries
in the dust.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Only good tabs all down.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
I've don't much, but yeah I'm not.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
I'll big get and what I want. It don't matter.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Where ragg This is the pickup.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Happy hum day everyone, It's the pickup with Britt Hackley
and Laura Van.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
What's going on in your little brain today?
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Low?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
No, nothing's going on much.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
That's a big, real notable.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
I follow a very dumb Instagram page which is called
Weird Facts, and I.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Really enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I think that's if you knew half of the facts
that this page post, you would think it's dune like
this one. For example, edible underwear was invented when a
couple was drunk and high while discussing the phrase eat
my shorts.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Imagine that.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Imagine sitting down after having a few beers with your
husband and then saying, eat my shorts and then going.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
You know what, you should eat my shorts.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
You know where eat my shorts is from The Simpsons. Yeah,
I'm pretty sure edyone ws were before Simpsons.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Bough No, eat my shorts has been around for longer
than that.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I think I think he just coined it.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Producer Grace is on the case he didn't create the term.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Don't tell me my weird fat website is not right.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Edible underwear known as candy pants invented in nineteen seventy five.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Would the expression eat my shorts?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
So maybe me eat my shorts predated Simpsons?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Thank you God forbid that the Simpsons didn't come up
with something. I know they can tell.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
The future fortune tellers, aren't they apparently?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Apparently? Look, I mean, I'll save you some other ones
of these.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
How about this one? I've got another one. A heroic
man broke into his neighbour's burning home and rescued their dog.
He later found out that the house was actually not real. Sorry,
the fire was not real. It was just a hallucination
from the LSD he had consumed. And he broke into
their house and kidnapped their dog.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Why is it all about drugs? I don't know, both
just to do drugs?
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Just those two? Okay, who you said? I've got one
more for you.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Only three people in the nation were qualified to hand
pack the parachutes for Apollo fifteen.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Grace can you cut her off?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Was so vital that they were not allowed to write
in the same car together, all that an auto accident
could cripple the space program.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Fascinating stuff, guys.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah, this is how we lose our job. This is
this is the moment. I want us all to remember.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
This happened to me a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
But I've been questioning whether or not I should tell
the story.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
If you ever question if you should tell us during
national radio, usually the answer is no.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Well usually, and also sometimes I'm like, do I have
any dignity left?
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Also?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
No, do we need content for the week?
Speaker 6 (02:49):
Fine?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Oh, here it is, here's my soul.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
So we've been doing quite a big renovation down south
at the moment of a house a couple of hours
drive from where we live, and when we've been heading
down there, we've been staying and it is so close
to being finished this renovation, Like I just feel like
it is the reno that never ends the homestretch. But
we were down there staying in the house, and there
(03:12):
was some issues with the electricals because this is what happens, right,
when you're renovating a house, the first time you stay
in it, you start to see like all of the
little things that haven't quite been done or need to
be fixed. So we had had an electrician come out
for the day. There was quite a lot of jobs
that he needed to do. He needed to install the
outdoor lights and some inside blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
On the edge of my seat. What other lights did
he have to install?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
The ones in the bathroom, the outdoor lights weren't connected
to the indoor whatever. It was a whole thing, right. Also,
he wasn't bad to look at. The man was very attractive.
That's convenient. It was a good looking rooster, easy on
the eye. So he's in the house running around and
my husband Matt's there, and we've all kind of like
been trying to get organized for the day at the
(03:54):
same time, but also at the same time we're having
to like talk to the electrician who has questions. Anyway,
Matt left and it's just me and it's the electrician
in the house and he's finished for the day. He's
been there for quite a few hours, and he's says like, oh,
like see.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
You love all done, I'm gonna leave now.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
And the house is really close to the beach, and
I had been waiting for him to leave so I
could go for a swim.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I was desperate to just get out of the house
for the day.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
And I left the garage, opened the door open, and
I saw you can see from inside the house straight
out into the street. So I saw him get in
his car and I saw.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Him drive away. Bye, good looking mister electrician man. So
I got to my bedroom.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
And I get naked, and I'm like, oh, I'm gonna
get my swimmers, but except I couldn't find my swimmers.
They were obviously downstairs in the laundry. So I get
out from the bedroom and I walk straight downstairs and
I'm midway between the upstairs and the downstairs, coming down
the stairs like I'm trapped in the in the flight
of stairs, and standing there in.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
The lounge room is the electrician.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
So he's come back to the house because there's something
that he's forgotten.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Didn't make it known, didn't call out.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
He probably didn't think you were going to strip off
with him.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Thirty seconds he walked in and I was completely butt
usd naked with nowhere to run except to turn around
and run back up the stairs, which meant not only
did he see my.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Front, he also saw my behind. Because how do you.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Do it?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
How do you navigate it?
Speaker 5 (05:18):
You didn't have to run away, he had to run
away to go, He would have had to run up
the stairwell as well.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
He could turn around.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
I think it's I don't know if he's already seen
the front.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
I'd just back away slowly.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
I'd walk backwards up the stairs like crab claw around
the corner.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I just had like this three seconds of like absolute
fear take over my body, and I was like, how
do I get out of this situation? Because the only
way forward is backwards? And now I have to turn around.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Oh you just finished telling using how good looking he was?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Are you sure he said goodbye?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Are we like? Oh my god? Whoops? I didn't know
you were here.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I thought you'd lambs. I just happened to me making
on stairs.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
I told him aout this story, and he was like whatever,
Laura shut off.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Because as yeah, when.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
The electricity come in, I was like, he's a good
looking rooster, isn't he mat And then I had to
tell Matt that I got naked in front of him.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
I didn't go down.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Well, imagine if Matt walks in and just has this
awkward moment where he says, you need on the stairs
looking and him looking at you, if you're looking at
hear him.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yeah, it's like the awkward triangle.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Anyway, I can't ever see him again. No, he's coming
back to the house and I.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Have to leave.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
It's got to put the solar in.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Yeah, I'll tell you about that though.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Recently on our podcast that we do it's called lifel
on Cup podcast if you haven't heard of it, we
got to sit down with Britney Saunders and interview her
around her incredible success with her label Fate the Label.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
If you don't know Britney, she is an Internet sensation.
She is one of Australia's most rapidly growing entrepreneurs. She's
recently written a book called Just Getting Started, all about
her entrepreneurship. She's someone who I follow on Instagram and
have done for a really long time and it's so
amazing to see how quickly her brand and her business
(06:54):
has evolved over the last couple of years.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah, we caught up with her to chat all things business.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
How she's done it, biggest regrets what she wishes she
did differently.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
It's a perfect chat.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
And I also think for anybody who has ever considered
starting their own small business or wants to get into
starting a label, this is and for a lot of moms,
like you know, having kids becomes that transition time where
people stat entertaining the idea of starting small businesses through
social media or online. This is one of those conversations
that is going to be so incredibly helpful.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Let's get into the chat.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
Looking back now, there was so many things that I
did throughout my teens or even earlier that were signs
that I was always destined to be an entrepreneur.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
I didn't grow up with like the greatest parents.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
I've never had anyone tell me like I should have goals,
or like I should try hard in school or anything.
So from a young age, I was just kind of
forced to figure stuff out on my own. I think
that's one of my biggest strengths. But just from when
I was a little kid, I was always trying to
do something of my own, and I just thought it
was hobbies like setting up a little stall out the
front of my house to try and sell like my.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Toys or whatever.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
I don't think kids do that anymore, but I think
now there's a lot of like strange.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Yeah, I was the.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Person I did lemonade.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
I I've just bought them from the store and up
sold them.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
I think what I did after Easter one time, selling
all my leftover chopping.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah, brilliant waste and whatnot.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
And so there was lots of little things like that
that I did.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
And then obviously I discovered YouTube in high school and
I thought, that looks great. I want to give that
a go, and so I started making YouTube videos in
high school, just sitting.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
In my room at home by myself, talking to myself.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
And to cut a long story short, I dropped out
of school because I just wanted to work.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
I just wanted to earn money. And I worked in
over twenty.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
Jobs, all the while trying all these little business ventures.
And then by the time I was twenty one and
I'd worked in every industry possible because I just hated
every job that I got and nothing made me happy.
I grew that YouTube channel to eighty thousand subscribers, which
was a big deal back then.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
It was huge. You were like an early adapter.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Yeah, it was before the word influencer was a thing.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
It was when Instagram was just starting, so that I
was organically building this Instagram following and then I threw
in my full time job at the age of twenty
one and thought, I'm going to make this YouTube thing
my job.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
And I haven't looked back.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Some of the early chapters in your book.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
There's another one called google it, which seems pretty self explanatory.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
And do you want to know something funny too?
Speaker 6 (09:15):
As I wrote the book and was doing all the chapters,
and I did them like all out of order as well,
like I would just go, I want to do a
chapter about this, and so I'd write it and then
I'd decide later we're in the book. It was going
to go like, I didn't write the book in order,
so if it seems out of order, that's that's why.
And so as I had the Google doc happening and
I was writing all of these chapters, all the titles,
(09:35):
I just put them in there as like a draft
like google it hat wearer, and I thought, down the
track will give them a better title. They're all still
the average like that. They didn't change it at all.
They're like yeah, and I'm like, oh, I just put
out there like because.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
That's what I don't know.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
But it seems like such a I mean google It
seems like such a really basic.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Obvious thing.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
But when Laura and I even started this, we've like
six years ago. We talked often about the fact that
we literally googled how to start a podcast, and then
you google how to do a contract. Yeah, like every
single thing that we did we didn't know anyone.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
In the industry and we had to learn it.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
I've googled everything that I know, Like, I've never done
a course, I never went to UNI, I.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Didn't finish school.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
It's googled.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Yeah, I've googled everything.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
So there's a whole chapter in there because it's one
of the questions that I'll get asked, like how did
you learn how to do all this stuff that you do?
Speaker 4 (10:21):
I literally just googled it.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
Today, in twenty twenty five, I'm still googling shit every day.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
If you guys want to listen to that entire interview,
you can go and search Life Uncut podcasts wherever you
get your podcasts, and here the whole thing. There's so
many goodies in that if you are starting a business,
or you know someone that starting a business, or you're
thinking of it, it's brilliant.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
Laura.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Remember back in the day, those.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Missed connections that people used to do, like the equivalent
of a newspaper dating site. So if you had a
moment with someone in real life, like you were getting
the train to work and you looked across the platform
and you saw somebody and you had this moment across
it and you were like wow, and they were giving
you the eyes back then they got on the train.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
You never saw them again.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
You know what this was, And I wonder if it
rolled out all across the country or not. But this
was the free newspaper that you would get from the train,
and there was a column, a special dedicated editor's column
where you wrote into the editor. And you were like
platform two, one o'clock.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
You were wearing a red hat.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
It always says you green shirt, me high ponytail.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I laughed at you.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Whatever.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
It's like, it's always these and then they're supposed to
find it and find you when you live happily ever after.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I remember this like vividly because I would always look
to try and see if someone had sent one in
about me.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
A loser narciss is the right word, or just a
loser is the right way.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
I was like, so desperate for.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Someone to love me.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
Well, I have had an idea off the back of
one that I have seen one. So some people are
still putting them online, like some people are still finding
them and putting them online. It's not a thing like
it was. But I just need you to listen to
this because I was laughing out loud. This is on
a site misconnection site. You were the tall brunette with
a near perfect body that farted in the bread section
last night. I was the tall guy next to you
(12:05):
that looked over and asked, was that you you? Quick
he replied, no, it wasn't. You almost seemed insulted that
I would even ask. As the stink grew, you continued
to deny your flatuance, but it was evident I tried
to get rid of the stench by waving two loaves
of chabbata bread. You proceeded to storm off in an
anchery manner. You are beautiful, and even if you are
(12:28):
a liar and you fight like a Clysdale, I'd still
love to meet up.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
That's not real I died of love.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
It was so funny.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
It got me.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Thinking I could be real.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
People let them drop accidentally all the time. And there's
only two people in an aisle and there's a smell
and you know it's not you.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
You then know it's the only other person there.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
When you started that, I thought you were about to
say this has been written about me, but then as
it proceeded to.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Be talking about farts. But you know, okay, this is
a real tangent.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
We don't have to go down this path, but I'm
going to say it anyway. I walked into a lyft
the other day, got on at level two. There was
only one person in lyft, and then we traveled together,
and it was so evident that they had just farted
in the lift before I got in. Also not okay,
a funny story.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Sorry, okay, I've just been thinking about it.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
So dumb. So I never fought in front of my
fiance band.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
It's like a thing I've just said, I don't fright
in front of partners, like I'll do it in other locations.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
So recently, so dumb.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Recently, I was over visiting him and we were practicing
our first dance for our wedding, and we filmed the
whole thing. We put the camera up, and then we
just proceed to do our dance. Now it's only he
and I in the hotel room.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
It's not a dance studio.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
We're just in at home. Anyway, he lifted you up.
You accidentally farted?
Speaker 5 (13:48):
No, but I farted, but it was quiet, so I
was like, didn't care. Then I smelt it and I
was like, oh my god. I got to get on
the front of foot. Yeah, but I don't know what
I was thinking. I stopped and I was like, babe,
did you just fart? And he was like, I know,
it's so obvious because he knows it wasn't him, and
he's like no, and I was like, yes, you did.
That's disgusting. He's like, oh my god, you did. And
that was me trying to get myself out of it.
(14:09):
We're only in this anyway. We have this full fight
on camera. Guy who fared, But obviously it was me
like what was I thinking? I'm sorry, but are you
fourteen years old? And secondly, what has this got to
do with lost connections? Sorry, no, it's not.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
It was back to the.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Fart souse Okay, I took it a little sideway. Here's
my idea. I want to help people. There are people
out there. I know there's someone listening right now that
has had that moment who I mean sorry.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Who's had a misconnection, who's parted the siper mugget.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
I want to help a miss connection, like I want
to find one and make it happen.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
So we are looking for people that might have had.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
That moment anywhere in a nightclub or walking to work,
or at work, or in a cafe anytime. We want
you to call up and we're going to try and
help you, and we're gonna make this well. This is
my plan. It might not work after a couple of weeks,
and the producers can it. It's going to be a
mini series.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
But let's go.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Let's go whole hog in the interim until that happens.
Let's put everything, all the resources we have.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
What's more important? Love or money? Or love and money?
Maybe we'll find you both.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Call up or writing too, the pickup writing to Laura
and myself on Instagram or the pickups Instagram or the
wind page whatever. If you have a misconnection or somebody
that you are looking for, we want to help you
find them, Like, we genuinely want to try and make
this happen, Britt.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I also want to point out to you that these
things only end well if the other person is interested.
Otherwise it comes off like they're a stalker. But like,
that's okay, we can figure that out live on air.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
You just said you looked every week to see if
you were in it. People want to well, that's it
from us, guys.
