Speaker 1 (00:10):
Hi Heart Podcasts, hear more Kiss Podcast playlist and listen
live on the Free iHeart APPI.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
With Britt Hockley.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
And Laura Ben Radio work our windows down.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
That's my worldris in the dust. Only good fabs are
all down.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I've done much, but yeah, I know I'll big bit
and what I want. It don't matter where.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
This is the pickup.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Hi, guys, you're listening to the Pickup with Britt Hockey
and Laura Ben. Big week coming up, Laura, do you
know what? I'm just giggling it because I mean, yeah,
it's so bad.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
It's a week week No, not Yeah, it's August coming.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yeah, but this is the thing we've been talking about it.
We're like, it's coming. Couldn't have told you what date
it was? Couldn't have told you the week?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Well that's half the problem, right because did you know
the week?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Yeah? What is it?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Oddest? What one?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Be fair? I was pretty good. It's August sixteen to
twenty third.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah, so twenty one falls into the week. I knew
I would.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Does it always fall around your birthday? Is that? Why
is it the same? It must be the same week
every year?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I dress up as myself for a book Week.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
You did write a book once upon a time. No,
it's look bookwek is coming. It is true.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Why can't your kids go as.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
You and me? We have a book and last time
they went as Matt. So my husband's written a kid's book.
He managed to after two weeks of trying to convince him,
he managed to convince Laula to dress up as dad.
So she went to book Week kindergarten in like a Hawaiian.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Shew, Well, next week it's you and me.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Look, guys, this is your reminder. Bookweek is coming. Don't
be like me and forget, because every single year I forget,
and this year I've put it into my calendar with
a one week reminders that I can't forget about it.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
So yeah, just to double down on that, what Laura
does is wakes up, remembers on the morning, grabs like
a cowboy hat on the way out the door, throws
it on, and she goes, you're a cowboy.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
No, because it's like unjustifiable. In preschool, if your kids
go to preschool, it is book week every single day
of that week. So if your kid is in preschool
for four days a week, that's four costumes.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I guess that does, like it is book week, not Bookeday.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah, I know, but it's a lot anyway now. And
also we want to see your costume. So all you've
got to do is go and upload a photo on
our wind page for your chance to win a five
hundred dollars Spotlight voucher, which will come in very handy
if you've got preschools. You've got to make four costumes.
This is a very relatable thing for parents. I think
that you reach a destination earlier than you expect to
get there when it comes to kids, right, Like they
(02:35):
ask questions and then sometimes they flow you and like hold.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Out and what's Pythago's theory?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
No, like things that you're just not ready to answer,
Like little kids ask big world questions, and then you
have to try and navigate, like how am I going
to answer that in a way that pitch is accurate
but is also grated and appropriate for your age. Sometimes
it's about the birds and the bees. Sometimes it's about
babies and how they got into your belly, like whatever
(03:02):
it is.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
It's funny because when we were kids, I think that
we used to go and ask our parents whatever, right,
and even if they didn't know the answer. They could
lie because there was no Google. We couldn't go and
look it up, like we had to take.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Their word for whatever they said. But you can't do
that now.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
It's so true. But I mean to be fair, my
kids are too young. They don't have phones. It's not
like they can go on Google it. But Marley, anytime
Marlly asks a question, I don't know the answer to it,
she just goes, Mom, why don't you just spotify it?
And I'm like close, but not quite the same thing. So, Okay,
I'm nine weeks away from having this baby. It's happening
very soon, and it's it's been an interesting journey because
(03:35):
like Mally, who's six, is now old enough to really
understand that there's a baby in my belly, But then
you can just see the cogs. There's questions, how did
the baby get into your belly? Mum, what's the baby
doing in there? Like what's happening? So she really want
how does the baby come out of your belly? Like
all of these questions we have kind of hit at
different milestones. Right the first one was like I understand
(03:58):
there's a baby in your belly, but how did it
get in your belly, and so you know, I think
I navigated that. Okay, I'm laying in bed the other
morning and Molly walks in dead pan like she's on
a mission, and she really seriously. She comes out and
she gives me a cuddle, and she like starts rubbing
my belly like I'm a Buddha, which she does every morning,
(04:18):
and she goes, mom, I've been thinking, And I was like, okay,
and she goes, is Poppy, that's the name that we've
given the baby. Is Poppy gonna come out the same
way that I came out.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Out of the same canal?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah? I And she had this real look of concern
on her face. And she's my little sensitive soul, right,
so she looked really concerned, and you like, oh my god,
how much do I tell her?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Well?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yeah? And also I'm of the opinion that you want
to be kind of accurate with your kids, right like
you want to be you want to call things by
their proper names. You want to give them as much
but also as little information as possible. So she says,
is it's gonna come out the same way? And I said, oh,
do you do you mean out of my vagina? And
(05:03):
she looked at me horrified, horrified, and she goes.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
No, oh, bald, She physically look the same.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
She's so worried that the baby's gonna come out bald.
She doesn't care about my vagina. The kid doesn't care
if mummy's in pain. In fact, I didn't know how they
came out, but she does now. Oh no, she kind
of did. And that's why I thought that maybe she
was worried that I was going to be in pain
like that it was going to cause me some sort
of turmoil. She could not care less. She doesn't want
to have a bald sister. She's worried old kids. You
(05:35):
have bald kids.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Maybe this one will come out with heaps of hair.
Have you seen it on the ultrasound yet?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
My run so far would suggest that it's going to
be a totally.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Bald child, because you know, you can see hair on ultrasound,
can you yep?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
If you have like a head of hair, you can
see it.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
No.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Well, no one's told me that the kid has a
head of hair. That's definitely not been said. And Marley's
just so concerned because she wants it to look like
a girl. And I was like, it's gonna look like
a baby, and she's like like a princess baby, and
I was like, it's gonna look like a baby.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
My sister's baby, Maya, she's ten months old now, but
she was not born with any hair either, and it's
been quite slow growing. And even if Sherry dresses her
in pink, no matter what she does, she could be
in a pink little thing with love.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Hearts and frills and someone comes up and says what's
his name?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
All the time show It's like, goddamn it, what have
I got to do to say?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
As a girl. That was the same thing with Lola.
Lola was just baled until she was two and a half,
completely bald, and I was like, I don't know if
this kid's ever going to grow hair. But the problem
is my dad went bald at twenty four, So I
don't think that we've got good genetics when it comes
to hair density.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yours is thinning.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Shut up, No, hang.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
On anyone listening that doesn't have the backstory the things.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I mean, Laura Lauri speaks about her hairs all the time.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
That's what I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Fair, she's always picking on me. It's won't plays harassment.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Okay, look, I have a double crown, my hair sitting too.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Okay, sure, dig up. So, Laura, I don't want to
alarm you, but.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I am thinking of a little bit of a career change.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
It's not by it's not by choice.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
It has been thrust upon me. I may have found
my calling if you.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Say that after Dancing with the Stars, I'm going off
to join some sort of dance because I honestly, what
would you do if you weren't doing this?
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Oh my god, can I tell you something that you
can Okay, Okay, I forget that I'm on.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Dancing with the Stars right now. But this is not
this is not the story.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
But I just segued I'm on Dancing with the Stars
as we speak. And so my husband Ben lives over
in Italy and a teammate, one of his teammates yesterday
came up to him and he must have been looking
on Ben's page, seen me, clicked on me how to
look at me?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Anyway, his teammate came up to him and says, wait,
is your wife on Dancing with the Stars? And Ben
was like yeah, and he's like wow, I didn't know
she was a professional dancer. She's really good, and I.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Thought, what if he's like, she's not the dancer.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
He thought that I was the dancer. So I just
needed to him. He must have looked at like a
two second cliff.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
To be fair, you have done amazing like you do
look like a professional dancer on there. Stop it and
then stop it got slade.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
She got slade like a dragon. In fact to what
I was talking about. I mean my like health and
Wellness era. I've been in it for a while, but
I love the sauna.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
It was my sacred place.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
I would sauna probably four times a week, maybe five
if I can. And it's not an individual sauna. It's
like a group sauna, but I would go at different times,
and quite often i'd be on my own. And I
imagine it's like the escape that mums feel when they
get a bit of time away.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Like headphones in, lay down and just like just zen out.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
So you lay down in a group sauna.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Oh yeah, I've fallen asleep in this sauna.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I don't know how I feel about groups saunas, like
I've done it a couple of times, but I just
feel like there's other people's sweat is so close to
me and I feel encased in other people's ill.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Yeah I get that too, but we wear a towel and
it's cleaned. But my point is, like I often got
times to the day. I know we're quite quiet.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
So I can like have that moment, not peak hour.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
But what has happened is loads of the people at
the gym and this wellness center know what I do
for a living. They know that we have Life Uncut
the podcast, and they know we do ask on Cut
and that it's like relationship based. They know who you
ask and cut in the radio. And it started to
become like a therapy session. So people come in now
and they'll see me in there, and then they come
(09:19):
in and they guys, not girls, I'm talking men, And
then they start to ask me relationship advice.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Are they trauma dumping in the sauna.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Yeah, they're trauma dumping, but it's not necessarily trauma dumping.
I'm actually so fascinated by it. And it is literally
like you could take bookings. I could be a psychologist
therapist in the sauna.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
They come in one on one.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Not intentionally, I'm not like wait outside everyone, but then
they ask me all of their deepest darkest relationship questions,
and I have to give them advice and then they
literally say, Okay, I'll update you next week, and they
circle back in a week to give me the update
on the advice that I've given them in this sauna.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
I have a question for you. Have you told any
of them that you're actually not qualified?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
They think, well, I haven't specifically said that. No, maybe
they think that I am. I've not said I'm qualified.
I think that they know I'm not. I don't know
what it is. Maybe have a hard time asking their
friends for certain advice, or maybe maybe it's different getting
advice from like the opposite sex. I often ask guys'
advice when I want a male's perspective, but it's sort
(10:19):
of just become who I am in the sorda.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Now, what's an example I need to know, like an
example of something you've been asked recently?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Yesterday?
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Yesterday's one was really really nice guy that his therapy
session has been going on for quite a while. He
hasn't been able to find the right person, and I've
been guiding him and encourage him to date because he
was giving up on dating.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
So this has been like going on for quite a while,
and I'm like, you're such a catch.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Get out there.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
It's not going to come and find you in your
house kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
And so we got the update recently that he in
fact met someone amazing, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
And then it's turning into long distance.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
So you know, she's going to chase her dreams. And
we had to unpack because he let her go chase
her dreams. And we had to unpack like why he
just let her go if he's constantly thinking about her
now and wants to work it out and like wants
that to be a thing. And then so we spent
that session trying to work out like if he and
go and voice to her how he really feels.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
And like chase it down and make something of it.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I feel like you need to charge for this. This
is lovely. It sounds like too much mental load. I
don't want to go home and take on anymore. I
want to go home and have a nap.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
And I can put one of those.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
You know when you go to the deli there's a
ticket machine and you like, you take a ticket off
the Delhi and get some ham and then you can
troll my dumb I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I'm about it.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
And it is time for our little wins of the week.
This is where you guys have a chance to win
five hundred dollars spend a Chemists warehouse when you call
up with your little win. And we're not talking about
the big celebrations, not the birthdays, not the marriages, not
the anniversaries. We're like, you know, when something just went
okay and you kind of made it through the week.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Like maybe you remembered it was book weik.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
That's great, yep, and you got your costume done early.
Maybe you made a fantastic bolonnaise. I want to hear
about it. Give us a call now we've got Tasha
on the line. Tasha, what was your little win of
the week. Oh, it felt so good to finally beat
my son in Connect four. Yes, every time I smash
my six year old at Uno, I'm so proud of myself.
(12:10):
So I feel the sun. He's three and he beats
you every week.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I taught him the game and then I swear with
the fluke, the pieces just magically land in the right spots.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Sounds like a child genius is like rain man.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I know it's so embarrassing. Also, though, Tasha, I think
the true test of like a kid's spirit is how
did he take the loss? Oh?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
She cried, and I really rubbed it in. I rubbed
it in so hard it was great brutal.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Wait there a minute. Oh, kids are never good, They're
terrible losers.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
All right, well, let's go to Matt.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Matt, what's your little winner of the week. I finally
tamed the wild tupper. Weir draw every match.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
No mystery tubs, and the drawer actually shuts like I'm
on top of the wheel.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
That's a true fat It's so annoying.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Just this morning, I was trying to all my work.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
I was trying to find a lid to a shake
so I could take a protein shake.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Could not, for the life of me, find it. It
has gone.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
How you're about to come over to come to a
picture mood? It did cleaning your top wears or fixes
your mood? Is that what you just said?
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Yeah, the picture mood if it's not all organized because
you can't find what you want when you need it.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
It was the accent. Sorry, Matt. I thought you said
it'll fix your mood, but you said it affects your
mood and I yeah, I feel I think.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Both are true.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I'm originally from South Australia.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
It's the accent, it's the kiwe wow.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Yeah all right, that hold the line, Jess. What's your
little end of the week.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
My little win is I got my dog Gary d
sex or d nutted, and instead of him having to
wear the cone of shame, I repurposed my ten year
old son's undies into some little shorts.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Oh well, Darry, but we got a win of heaven
a laugh and he didn't have to wear the cone
of shame.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Really funny, I.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Think wearing a kid's underwear as a shame for was
he a humper?
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Like?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Was he the one of those hum everything?
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Not? Yeah, but we have caught them doing it, which
is a bit disturbing. But you know, hopefully this diner
thing will help that.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yeah, I feel sorry. I mean, I know it's a
win for you, Jess, but I do feel like it's
a bit of a loss for Gary. He's lost two
things to the dog. Okay, hold there for one second,
we have to deliberate. We've got connect four, we've got
tup ofware, and we've got Gary the dog.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
I feel like I hate to do this to you, Laura,
I pitched last week.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I'm going to hand it over to you. Is there
anything that like tugs at your soul?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
There?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Do you know what took? To be fair? All of
them are pretty deserving winners this week, unfortunately, but I'm
going to give it to Matt. I'm Matt Tupaware, toup Aware. Firstly,
we got your location wrong, so I feel like we've
got to dig up a little bit from that. But Matt, congratulations,
five hundred dollars house.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Thank you so much. Guy.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
That's an awesome price.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Can I just ask, are you, like, are you limited
to the toup Aware container area or are you cleaning
the rest of the house as well?
Speaker 4 (15:08):
I think next I'm going to go with my frank
green lids and water bottle. Okay, So I always get
sarcting with the mystery boxes.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I really get you don't. The real problem is how
much did you throw away? That's the real question, because
you usually get well done, well done.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
I think that's what is impressed by. I think he's
impressed by the fact that he found all the matches.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I do.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
I do think it's important. It really is a little
winner of the week, that one. But we're proud of you, Matt.
You're a good job well, and that is it for
us today, guys.
Hi Heart Podcasts, hear more Kiss Podcast playlist and listen

And Laura Ben Radio work our windows down.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
That's my worldris in the dust. Only good fabs are
all down.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I've done much, but yeah, I know I'll big bit
and what I want. It don't matter where.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
This is the pickup.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Hi, guys, you're listening to the Pickup with Britt Hockey
and Laura Ben. Big week coming up, Laura, do you
know what? I'm just giggling it because I mean, yeah,
it's so bad.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
It's a week week No, not Yeah, it's August coming.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yeah, but this is the thing we've been talking about it.
We're like, it's coming. Couldn't have told you what date
it was? Couldn't have told you the week?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Well that's half the problem, right because did you know
the week?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Yeah? What is it?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Oddest? What one?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Be fair? I was pretty good. It's August sixteen to
twenty third.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah, so twenty one falls into the week. I knew
I would.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Does it always fall around your birthday? Is that? Why
is it the same? It must be the same week
every year?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I dress up as myself for a book Week.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
You did write a book once upon a time. No,
it's look bookwek is coming. It is true.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Why can't your kids go as.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
You and me? We have a book and last time
they went as Matt. So my husband's written a kid's book.
He managed to after two weeks of trying to convince him,
he managed to convince Laula to dress up as dad.
So she went to book Week kindergarten in like a Hawaiian.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Shew, Well, next week it's you and me.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Look, guys, this is your reminder. Bookweek is coming. Don't
be like me and forget, because every single year I forget,
and this year I've put it into my calendar with
a one week reminders that I can't forget about it.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
So yeah, just to double down on that, what Laura
does is wakes up, remembers on the morning, grabs like
a cowboy hat on the way out the door, throws
it on, and she goes, you're a cowboy.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
No, because it's like unjustifiable. In preschool, if your kids
go to preschool, it is book week every single day
of that week. So if your kid is in preschool
for four days a week, that's four costumes.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I guess that does, like it is book week, not Bookeday.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah, I know, but it's a lot anyway now. And
also we want to see your costume. So all you've
got to do is go and upload a photo on
our wind page for your chance to win a five
hundred dollars Spotlight voucher, which will come in very handy
if you've got preschools. You've got to make four costumes.
This is a very relatable thing for parents. I think
that you reach a destination earlier than you expect to
get there when it comes to kids, right, Like they
(02:35):
ask questions and then sometimes they flow you and like hold.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Out and what's Pythago's theory?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
No, like things that you're just not ready to answer,
Like little kids ask big world questions, and then you
have to try and navigate, like how am I going
to answer that in a way that pitch is accurate
but is also grated and appropriate for your age. Sometimes
it's about the birds and the bees. Sometimes it's about
babies and how they got into your belly, like whatever
(03:02):
it is.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
It's funny because when we were kids, I think that
we used to go and ask our parents whatever, right,
and even if they didn't know the answer. They could
lie because there was no Google. We couldn't go and
look it up, like we had to take.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Their word for whatever they said. But you can't do
that now.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
It's so true. But I mean to be fair, my
kids are too young. They don't have phones. It's not
like they can go on Google it. But Marley, anytime
Marlly asks a question, I don't know the answer to it,
she just goes, Mom, why don't you just spotify it?
And I'm like close, but not quite the same thing. So, Okay,
I'm nine weeks away from having this baby. It's happening
very soon, and it's it's been an interesting journey because
(03:35):
like Mally, who's six, is now old enough to really
understand that there's a baby in my belly, But then
you can just see the cogs. There's questions, how did
the baby get into your belly? Mum, what's the baby
doing in there? Like what's happening? So she really want
how does the baby come out of your belly? Like
all of these questions we have kind of hit at
different milestones. Right the first one was like I understand
(03:58):
there's a baby in your belly, but how did it
get in your belly, and so you know, I think
I navigated that. Okay, I'm laying in bed the other
morning and Molly walks in dead pan like she's on
a mission, and she really seriously. She comes out and
she gives me a cuddle, and she like starts rubbing
my belly like I'm a Buddha, which she does every morning,
(04:18):
and she goes, mom, I've been thinking, And I was like, okay,
and she goes, is Poppy, that's the name that we've
given the baby. Is Poppy gonna come out the same
way that I came out.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Out of the same canal?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah? I And she had this real look of concern
on her face. And she's my little sensitive soul, right,
so she looked really concerned, and you like, oh my god,
how much do I tell her?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Well?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yeah? And also I'm of the opinion that you want
to be kind of accurate with your kids, right like
you want to be you want to call things by
their proper names. You want to give them as much
but also as little information as possible. So she says,
is it's gonna come out the same way? And I said, oh,
do you do you mean out of my vagina? And
(05:03):
she looked at me horrified, horrified, and she goes.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
No, oh, bald, She physically look the same.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
She's so worried that the baby's gonna come out bald.
She doesn't care about my vagina. The kid doesn't care
if mummy's in pain. In fact, I didn't know how they
came out, but she does now. Oh no, she kind
of did. And that's why I thought that maybe she
was worried that I was going to be in pain
like that it was going to cause me some sort
of turmoil. She could not care less. She doesn't want
to have a bald sister. She's worried old kids. You
(05:35):
have bald kids.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Maybe this one will come out with heaps of hair.
Have you seen it on the ultrasound yet?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
My run so far would suggest that it's going to
be a totally.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Bald child, because you know, you can see hair on ultrasound,
can you yep?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
If you have like a head of hair, you can
see it.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
No.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Well, no one's told me that the kid has a
head of hair. That's definitely not been said. And Marley's
just so concerned because she wants it to look like
a girl. And I was like, it's gonna look like
a baby, and she's like like a princess baby, and
I was like, it's gonna look like a baby.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
My sister's baby, Maya, she's ten months old now, but
she was not born with any hair either, and it's
been quite slow growing. And even if Sherry dresses her
in pink, no matter what she does, she could be
in a pink little thing with love.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Hearts and frills and someone comes up and says what's
his name?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
All the time show It's like, goddamn it, what have
I got to do to say?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
As a girl. That was the same thing with Lola.
Lola was just baled until she was two and a half,
completely bald, and I was like, I don't know if
this kid's ever going to grow hair. But the problem
is my dad went bald at twenty four, So I
don't think that we've got good genetics when it comes
to hair density.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yours is thinning.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Shut up, No, hang.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
On anyone listening that doesn't have the backstory the things.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I mean, Laura Lauri speaks about her hairs all the time.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
That's what I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Fair, she's always picking on me. It's won't plays harassment.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Okay, look, I have a double crown, my hair sitting too.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Okay, sure, dig up. So, Laura, I don't want to
alarm you, but.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I am thinking of a little bit of a career change.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
It's not by it's not by choice.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
It has been thrust upon me. I may have found
my calling if you.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Say that after Dancing with the Stars, I'm going off
to join some sort of dance because I honestly, what
would you do if you weren't doing this?
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Oh my god, can I tell you something that you
can Okay, Okay, I forget that I'm on.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Dancing with the Stars right now. But this is not
this is not the story.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
But I just segued I'm on Dancing with the Stars
as we speak. And so my husband Ben lives over
in Italy and a teammate, one of his teammates yesterday
came up to him and he must have been looking
on Ben's page, seen me, clicked on me how to
look at me?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Anyway, his teammate came up to him and says, wait,
is your wife on Dancing with the Stars? And Ben
was like yeah, and he's like wow, I didn't know
she was a professional dancer. She's really good, and I.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Thought, what if he's like, she's not the dancer.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
He thought that I was the dancer. So I just
needed to him. He must have looked at like a
two second cliff.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
To be fair, you have done amazing like you do
look like a professional dancer on there. Stop it and
then stop it got slade.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
She got slade like a dragon. In fact to what
I was talking about. I mean my like health and
Wellness era. I've been in it for a while, but
I love the sauna.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
It was my sacred place.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
I would sauna probably four times a week, maybe five
if I can. And it's not an individual sauna. It's
like a group sauna, but I would go at different times,
and quite often i'd be on my own. And I
imagine it's like the escape that mums feel when they
get a bit of time away.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Like headphones in, lay down and just like just zen out.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
So you lay down in a group sauna.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Oh yeah, I've fallen asleep in this sauna.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I don't know how I feel about groups saunas, like
I've done it a couple of times, but I just
feel like there's other people's sweat is so close to
me and I feel encased in other people's ill.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Yeah I get that too, but we wear a towel and
it's cleaned. But my point is, like I often got
times to the day. I know we're quite quiet.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
So I can like have that moment, not peak hour.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
But what has happened is loads of the people at
the gym and this wellness center know what I do
for a living. They know that we have Life Uncut
the podcast, and they know we do ask on Cut
and that it's like relationship based. They know who you
ask and cut in the radio. And it started to
become like a therapy session. So people come in now
and they'll see me in there, and then they come
(09:19):
in and they guys, not girls, I'm talking men, And
then they start to ask me relationship advice.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Are they trauma dumping in the sauna.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Yeah, they're trauma dumping, but it's not necessarily trauma dumping.
I'm actually so fascinated by it. And it is literally
like you could take bookings. I could be a psychologist
therapist in the sauna.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
They come in one on one.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Not intentionally, I'm not like wait outside everyone, but then
they ask me all of their deepest darkest relationship questions,
and I have to give them advice and then they
literally say, Okay, I'll update you next week, and they
circle back in a week to give me the update
on the advice that I've given them in this sauna.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
I have a question for you. Have you told any
of them that you're actually not qualified?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
They think, well, I haven't specifically said that. No, maybe
they think that I am. I've not said I'm qualified.
I think that they know I'm not. I don't know
what it is. Maybe have a hard time asking their
friends for certain advice, or maybe maybe it's different getting
advice from like the opposite sex. I often ask guys'
advice when I want a male's perspective, but it's sort
(10:19):
of just become who I am in the sorda.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Now, what's an example I need to know, like an
example of something you've been asked recently?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Yesterday?
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Yesterday's one was really really nice guy that his therapy
session has been going on for quite a while. He
hasn't been able to find the right person, and I've
been guiding him and encourage him to date because he
was giving up on dating.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
So this has been like going on for quite a while,
and I'm like, you're such a catch.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Get out there.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
It's not going to come and find you in your
house kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
And so we got the update recently that he in
fact met someone amazing, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
And then it's turning into long distance.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
So you know, she's going to chase her dreams. And
we had to unpack because he let her go chase
her dreams. And we had to unpack like why he
just let her go if he's constantly thinking about her
now and wants to work it out and like wants
that to be a thing. And then so we spent
that session trying to work out like if he and
go and voice to her how he really feels.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
And like chase it down and make something of it.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I feel like you need to charge for this. This
is lovely. It sounds like too much mental load. I
don't want to go home and take on anymore. I
want to go home and have a nap.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
And I can put one of those.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
You know when you go to the deli there's a
ticket machine and you like, you take a ticket off
the Delhi and get some ham and then you can
troll my dumb I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I'm about it.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
And it is time for our little wins of the week.
This is where you guys have a chance to win
five hundred dollars spend a Chemists warehouse when you call
up with your little win. And we're not talking about
the big celebrations, not the birthdays, not the marriages, not
the anniversaries. We're like, you know, when something just went
okay and you kind of made it through the week.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Like maybe you remembered it was book weik.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
That's great, yep, and you got your costume done early.
Maybe you made a fantastic bolonnaise. I want to hear
about it. Give us a call now we've got Tasha
on the line. Tasha, what was your little win of
the week. Oh, it felt so good to finally beat
my son in Connect four. Yes, every time I smash
my six year old at Uno, I'm so proud of myself.
(12:10):
So I feel the sun. He's three and he beats
you every week.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I taught him the game and then I swear with
the fluke, the pieces just magically land in the right spots.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Sounds like a child genius is like rain man.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I know it's so embarrassing. Also, though, Tasha, I think
the true test of like a kid's spirit is how
did he take the loss? Oh?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
She cried, and I really rubbed it in. I rubbed
it in so hard it was great brutal.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Wait there a minute. Oh, kids are never good, They're
terrible losers.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
All right, well, let's go to Matt.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Matt, what's your little winner of the week. I finally
tamed the wild tupper. Weir draw every match.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
No mystery tubs, and the drawer actually shuts like I'm
on top of the wheel.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
That's a true fat It's so annoying.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Just this morning, I was trying to all my work.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
I was trying to find a lid to a shake
so I could take a protein shake.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Could not, for the life of me, find it. It
has gone.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
How you're about to come over to come to a
picture mood? It did cleaning your top wears or fixes
your mood? Is that what you just said?
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Yeah, the picture mood if it's not all organized because
you can't find what you want when you need it.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
It was the accent. Sorry, Matt. I thought you said
it'll fix your mood, but you said it affects your
mood and I yeah, I feel I think.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Both are true.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I'm originally from South Australia.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
It's the accent, it's the kiwe wow.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Yeah all right, that hold the line, Jess. What's your
little end of the week.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
My little win is I got my dog Gary d
sex or d nutted, and instead of him having to
wear the cone of shame, I repurposed my ten year
old son's undies into some little shorts.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Oh well, Darry, but we got a win of heaven
a laugh and he didn't have to wear the cone
of shame.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Really funny, I.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Think wearing a kid's underwear as a shame for was
he a humper?
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Like?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Was he the one of those hum everything?
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Not? Yeah, but we have caught them doing it, which
is a bit disturbing. But you know, hopefully this diner
thing will help that.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yeah, I feel sorry. I mean, I know it's a
win for you, Jess, but I do feel like it's
a bit of a loss for Gary. He's lost two
things to the dog. Okay, hold there for one second,
we have to deliberate. We've got connect four, we've got
tup ofware, and we've got Gary the dog.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
I feel like I hate to do this to you, Laura,
I pitched last week.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I'm going to hand it over to you. Is there
anything that like tugs at your soul?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
There?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Do you know what took? To be fair? All of
them are pretty deserving winners this week, unfortunately, but I'm
going to give it to Matt. I'm Matt Tupaware, toup Aware. Firstly,
we got your location wrong, so I feel like we've
got to dig up a little bit from that. But Matt, congratulations,
five hundred dollars house.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Thank you so much. Guy.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
That's an awesome price.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Can I just ask, are you, like, are you limited
to the toup Aware container area or are you cleaning
the rest of the house as well?
Speaker 4 (15:08):
I think next I'm going to go with my frank
green lids and water bottle. Okay, So I always get
sarcting with the mystery boxes.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I really get you don't. The real problem is how
much did you throw away? That's the real question, because
you usually get well done, well done.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
I think that's what is impressed by. I think he's
impressed by the fact that he found all the matches.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I do.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
I do think it's important. It really is a little
winner of the week, that one. But we're proud of you, Matt.
You're a good job well, and that is it for
us today, guys.
