Speaker 1 (00:10):
I heard podcasts Heem More Kiss podcast playlist and listen
live on the Free iHeart Appick with Brittle and Laura
ben Rady. What our windows downe?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
That's my world?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Reason the dust only good grabs us all down. I've
done much, but yeah, I know I'll be and what
I want it. Don't mattle where. This is the pickup? Hi, guys,
it's the pickup with Britt Hockley and Laura Burn. How
do we feel when at the start of the show
it says I don't know much? Do you think it
(00:46):
set secret dome? Never thought about it? No, we actually
have spoken about a few times every time, every time
I think do we know something? Yeah, I don't think.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
It's a direct reflection of us. I don't think it's
us saying we don't know much?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Or has someone done that intentionally?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I don't know. I feel like it's a real stitch up.
But I keep this stuff. I've got something that I know.
I read this today and I thought it was thoroughly interesting.
Wanted to share it with you all. Did you know
that there is research and scientific evidence that suggests that
women can subconsciously assess a potential partner's genetic compatibility through kissing.
So by kissing someone you can figure out in your
(01:25):
body whether or not your DNA is compatible with that
personal life.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I think that is rubbish.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
That's true, it's not true. Is even here to prove it?
You're literally looking at Wikipedia. I'm not looking at Wikipedia.
I know it doesn't go for everything because a lot
of us are just it overrides by the red flags
and the chemistry and the hormones and whatnot. But there's
like something to the saying that if it just doesn't
feel right, maybe science also backs it up.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Well, maybe this can actually is actually perfect timing for
our ask on Cut Call this week, because we have
a listener that wants to know how you can tell
the difference between if something is just like a crush
or if you really like them, or if you just
want someone to pay attention to you, like is it
real or is it not real? And I think all
anything is make out obviously, swap some saliva.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
And then you're going you'll know whether your genes are
a good or not. Yea, I will say I think
my radar prior to my husband was terrible. So I
don't know if this works because I've kissed many men
who I was not compatible.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
He hasn't worked with you, and it did not work.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
But I'm stubborn and I just wanted to, you know,
keep on trying to prove that I could be right.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Hey, it's Thursday, which means it is ask Guncut, where
you guys write in and call up with your biggest
problems and us is very untrained, unqualified radio host.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
We do our best to answer it.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
We do this every week on our podcast Life on
Cut podcast.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
It's a fan favorite and we absolutely love it.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
And today we have Andrea on the phone, who has
a bit of a predicament around I guess young love Andrew.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Is that the case?
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Yeah, that's the case.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
What's going on?
Speaker 5 (02:54):
So I'm here at UNI and I've kind of developed
a crush on this guy. I don't really know if
I have or I just like that he's kind of
interested in me.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
What's he done to make you think that he's interested
in you?
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Firstly, Well, he has a very like flittatious personality and
very charismatic and I don't know if I'm kind of
like picking up that it's you know, flirting vibes, or
if he's just really charming.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I also think it's kind of like fifty to fifty.
Sometimes I would never have even thought about someone as
a potential partner, and then they started showing interest in me,
and I was like, Oh, maybe I like you, but
actually maybe I just like the attention. I can't tell.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I think that you're overthinking this. I think this is
actually quite easy.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
You want to know.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
How do I know if I actually like him or.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Not to go on a date.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
I just sometimes wonder if we overthink things. Unless you're
a pulsed by him and he's giving you the ick.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
If you think you could like him and you're confused,
it means there's a chance that you really do like him.
You'll figure out pretty quickly if it's real or not,
or if it's the attention. We all like a bit
of attention.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Let's be real. It's human nature.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
But I wouldn't overthink it.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I think if you're enjoying the flirting, you're questioning if
it's real or not.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Go on a date and find out what you think.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
At the end of the day.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Yeah, there is just one problem as well. My friend
was interested in him first, and he rejected her and
only after that, did I actually start to kind of
like him?
Speaker 3 (04:19):
That actually is a whole other layer.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
It does complicate things. However, However, if your friend, and
this is probably a question for you too, Britt, if
your friend has never hooked up with them, if nothing's
ever happened, just because they had interest in someone doesn't
mean that they can then No, it's pretty shit, yeah,
isn't Yeah? But for how long? Like, what's the time limit?
There's got to be a time limit. You can't just
like bags a guy for forever if he doesn't like you,
(04:43):
never has I think.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
That in that situation, that's definitely you know, this has
a bit like an onion.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
You know, you have to peel it back. You need
to ask your friend.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I would think if she's a really good friend, if
it's an acquaintance at union, you like, sit in the
same lab class, don't worry. But if it's a really
good friend of yours, you will damage the friendship if
you go and try and dating without saying anything. I
think you need to ask and say, hey, would you
care if I asked him out?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Is that too weird?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Like I think I've got a crush on him, And
if it is a problem for her. I wouldn't be
touching it with a ten foot pole, like there are
pallennium men out there.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Trust me, Andrea, how closer friends are you?
Speaker 5 (05:18):
We only met this year, but we've really joined up
because we both moved to UNI, so we're both kind
of doing this on our own. So we formed a
really good bond and.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
By you good for each other there?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah, and how well do you know this guy? Like
when you say he's flirty? Like, what's he doing? Like
how flirty is flirty?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Well?
Speaker 5 (05:37):
He has this like the way that he speaks, and
like he holds such great eye compact.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Oh, he's sending the signal anything more than three seconds
is like is a proper signal?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
But also he might I mean, would you ever ask
him out? Or are you waiting to see if he
makes a move?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (05:54):
I think I could do the risk and ask him out.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I honestly don't do it, like I want to say,
we love love. You don't even know if you like him.
It's not like you're like this is my guy, Like, yeah,
I like him and on a dog my friend, you're
confused by it. I wouldn't be risking a friendship if
you think it's really really real and there's something there.
Talk to your friend first, but there will, trust me, Like,
friendships are so much more important than a hookup or
(06:22):
a crush that you're not even convinced you have.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Yeah, I back Britt on this one. I reckon at
least speak to your friend about it. But in saying that,
sometimes people can get very territorial over someone that they've
never had anything with, and I also think that that's
a bit weird because they don't think that you can
like be like I liked him for a month and
he didn't like me. Nothing ever happened, and therefore no
one else.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Can our laws think about it. Imagine if let's do
it like you and me. Imagine you asked a guy
out that you really liked and he said no, and
then I was like, cool, I'll do it and he
said yes. You'd be like, okay, cool, Britt, that's pretty shit.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Like you were the same tind date as guy, but we.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Didn't know that was years apart. We didn't even know
each other.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
So it's like, if that happened, you'd be devoted as
a friend. You'd be like, man, there's so many people
out there like you knew I liked him, and how
would she feel knowing she wasn't good enough and she
was rejected but you were.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I do think that there's a time limit to it, though,
Like I don't think that it means I seem to
a fifty that's I mean. I don't think that it
means like if you still feel like this in six
months or a year's time, Like you know, I don't
think that that counts for like indefinitely in perpetuity, that
no one's ever allowed to like hook up with the away.
Laura's sayn put a time limit on it.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
I'm saying, don't do it, but.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
You know what you have to do, Andreas, give us
a call back and let's know how it all goes.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Will do.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Thank you guys so much, Thanks, honey, thank you. She's like,
you guys win no help.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
She's like, what was that.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
We've been talking about? Bookwek Spotlights the home of costumes
and Accessories to bring all of your favorite Bookweek characters
to life. You guys, So many of you who have
been listening to the show have reached out either via
Instagram and sharing with us either the costumes that you've
made in the past or any hot tips that you
have for brit because I mean, I think you're doing
very well. I don't think you're struggling.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I think you need to tell people first, I'm making
your daughter's book wuick costume.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
That's where we're at.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I've put my hand up and I've said, you know what,
challenge accepted.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I only have a dog.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
I don't have to do much for her, So I'm
gonna make your child's book week on.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
You did send me some progress pics and like, I'm
loving the sequence. I'm loving the tassels. I'm also loving
the length of the skirt that I was worried was
going to be in appropriately short and glue gun burns.
But I've got oh yeah, you've been slaving away. But
also so many people have sent in their photos of
their kids and the things that they've worn to Bookweek,
and I just want to clarify. Maybe I need some
other mums to call up and let me know this,
(08:38):
because are kids supposed to help with their bookweek costume?
Because the level of costumes that we are receiving are
elite like these have not been made by children, These
have been made by parents. Is there a competition element?
That I'm not aware of. Oh, I get it.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
I don't think your four year old is capable of
making themselves an intricate costume.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Well, look, we've got Natasha on the phone. Natasha, what
is your hot tips for brit what's going to make
the best Book Week costume? Okay?
Speaker 7 (09:05):
So first of all, I don't think you need to
be putting in in so much effort for it to
be elite.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Okay, right, Na.
Speaker 7 (09:12):
Has to be fun.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Okay, I disagree because I'm looking at this costume that
you've made. You went for the outpackers and Maracas Classic book,
but I feel like there's a lot of effort here
in this costume.
Speaker 7 (09:22):
No. I did that in the night. So I sat
down on the floor in front of the TV. I
binge watched Laura and Order episode four or five episodes,
and I just sat there with the hot glee gun
and scissors and wool like it looks like it was
a lot of effort, but it actually really wasn't.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I know, We've got some other calls.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I just think that your benchmark for what you think
isn't hard work is We've got different.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Bench I knows this is effort, and now that you've
seen this breed. I feel like you need to up
your game, Natasha. We've got five hundred dollars for you
to spend its spotlight, which is going to help you
with this year's Book Week costume. Do you have it
figured out what you're going to make this year?
Speaker 7 (09:59):
No? But I have to up my game again, though,
don't I?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Well, God, it's too hard.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
All right, let's get some more teams.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Let's goda, Marissa, Hay, Marissa, we've got your Well, actually,
you've seen quite a few costumes in to be honest,
but we have one here, Amelia Airhart that we're looking at, which,
to be honest, is pretty impeccable.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Like there is a lot of detail in this. Talkers
through how you made this?
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Well, I always like to start with a cardboard box.
Then I thought I just needed to do a Millia
air Hut. But just putting her in an airline costumes
not enough. So she needs to have the plane, so
I just copy, you've got to do that. You've got
to go that big extra.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
We're going to put these up on the pickup socials.
But honestly, Marissa, is there like a competition element at
this school? Like are we going for rewards or prizes,
because yes, oh there is. This is not about the
kids anymore. It's about the pairros.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
It's not about the kids at all. Man, I know
she can have her book week when she's a mom.
Absolutely have I got a thirty dollars out chair. It's
a local book store.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Well, look even better, we've got a five hundred dollars
one for you to spend a spotlight this year.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
So off your go on paper mash this year. So
it's it's up in the an.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Oh my poor kids don't stand a chance. Thanks Verssa.
All right, Next we got Vanessa. Vanessa, you've gone the
Hungry Caterpillar.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yes, hi, girls, is this a book Vanessa that you
chose because you want to win?
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Or is this what your is, what your child has chosen.
Speaker 8 (11:26):
I was a bit like Laura, running out of time
and thought what can I do? So I painted an
apple and a pair and you know, if you've ever
seen the book, it is a little bit messy, So
definitely go for vintage. The teacher seemed to give extra
points for the nostalgia, so it was it was a winner.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
There, Vanessa. I know that you're trying to relate but like,
I literally checked my kid in a dinosaur costume that
I bought from like I don't even know, or somewhere online,
and she's had it in there for a year. And
then I found a book that related to a dinosaur.
It was really this is a level of effort that
I can't aspire to.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Can't you just recycle? I'm pretty sure my mum she
might kill me. I think she just recycled the costumes.
Like one year I was a gumnut baby, then the
next year my sister was the gumnut baby.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Like, I think that's a.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Smart thing to do. No, I'm not. You've never thought ahead.
I agree, I never have. But other moms are better
than me, clearly, and I'm in full support. I think
this is fantastic, Vanessa. Okay, if you had any tips
for Brute before you let you go?
Speaker 8 (12:20):
Oh, I think with the recycling, I would love to
do that, but my son grows too quick, so you
definitely can't dig out any of last few's dress ups.
But yeah, it's all just about having fun and yet
just grow for nostalgia. They will definitely relate to it.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
The thing I thought is that it's all about winning,
But Vanessa. We've got five hundred dollars for you to
spend a spotlight as well, so that you can make
an amazing costume this year. And Britt, you know, I
think you're gonna be fine. I know I'm going to
be fine.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
You ever expecting anything like these pitchures from these callers?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
I just lower the bar a little bit. Well, these
are exceptional. Well, I think we've established that with Mala's
not going to win, but she's gonna look good. Okay, Britt,
I know that sometimes the media likes to call you
a wag when you're overseas and you're watching Ben play.
I'm actually not mad about it. I love being a wag.
Wife and girlfriend are the very famous soccer player.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Still work a lot.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Yeah, I know, but it has bad connotations that are
the wag community. We're changing that.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah, we've we've collectively decided to change how you react
and feel about it.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Call me wag.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Technically I am a wife and girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
So you're like, I, I refuse to be offended by this.
It's a label that I'm accepting. But yeah, bab I
like that. I like that you can only be offended
by what you allow people to offend you by at
the end.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Yeah, sorry, you're saying I'm married, I am.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Poor good one. You're like, yes, I actually nailed him down.
I did great, Thanks, thank you. Okay, Well you'll enjoy
this because I'm also now frequenting the soccer fields. I
really soccer. I'm I'm not perusing for a date or
a husband. I already have one of those. I do
take him to the soccer field with me, and that
is because we have gotten our four year old into
(13:59):
soccer and I am now becoming a soccer mom. So
here I am every Sunday with my picnic blanket down
by the soccer field, yelling at my four year old
to go over the ball.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
And I real love that you're a soccer mom.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
But also it's such a good age for them because
they don't even have positions.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
They just run around.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
You're not allowed to have positions at that age.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
No, of course, they don't know what a position is.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
That's what I mean.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
That's Lola doesn't even know which goal is hers like
at the moment, I think they need to know that
they need so which way they're running. So the problem is,
so Lola's four, right, and she's just started. I didn't
realize how young some of these kids start. Like some
of these kids have been doing kicker roos since they're
three years old. Like they are so good. They rock
up with their bright, fluory little shoes on that I'm like,
you're going to grow out of that in six months time.
(14:41):
And they just are amazing, And it's really hard because
they're so good and she is very much learning, like
she's so new and she's so enthusiastic.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
And he's decided, you're not a late bloomer at fall.
There might have been people that started early, but she's.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Got blooty times. I agree completely. But the problem is
is that the skill set in the one class is
so varied, so all the kids that are really good,
like Lawla doesn't even get to look at the ball.
She doesn't even touch the ball because they are all
over it and they're the ones kicking it around, getting
the goals and everything else. And there's this one little
boy who is so good. I know he's the same
age as her, but he's just so great that he
(15:16):
really needs to move up a level. They pay mixed,
so yeah, they play, they're only four. They don't gender
it at four, oh, they should though, he's so good.
And I was watching it and I was just starting
to get filled with the frustrations. I had so much
empathy for her in terms of like how hard it
was for her and how hard she was trying, but
she was getting no reward back because she just wasn't
(15:36):
getting any time with the ball. No. I just felt
like the mom rage in me, and I said to Matt,
I was like, that kid should really be in the
class above, and that was like, yeah, but I mean
he's four. And I was like, maybe I'll speak to
the coach and that was like, shut up, don't be
that mom.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
No, but it's hard not to because I mean, maybe
you can talk to them, Maybe you can just say, hey,
can you just try and make sure they all get
to touch the ball, because my little nephew's in football
like soccer, and they make sure everyone gets like, of
course they're learning, and you know, there are always people
that are going to be standout kids, like that's natural,
but their team is really about making sure everyone gets
(16:17):
to touch it.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
No, don't get me wrong. They do like all the
drills and stuff at the start, like she's kicking a
ball around. It's when they play like a little fake game.
At the end, she doesn't get a look in. But
I never realized that I would be that type of
sideline sport mom. Like I didn't think I had it
in me. I've never been exposed to it. But the
second I sat there on that picnic rug next to
those witch's hats, I was like, go Lola. Matt just
(16:41):
looked to me like who are you and shut off?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
I pickture Lola maybe transitioning.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
I get it's something a bit more rough, like I
can see her in rugby. It's a bit of a bulldozer,
like you know, she's really in there.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
She's a go getter because she's a little bit timid
though because it is still new for her. And I
was like, don't worry about the other kids.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Kick that ball although them an will tap them. Oh
can you take some videos?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Yeah, of course. But I also just think I'm a
liability and I'm going to embarrass myself.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Mat.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
It's like, you need to come down. This is a
four year old soccer game. It's not even a soccer game.
Lola doesn't know which goalpot, like she's got to kick
a goal into.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Okay, give it time.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
It's been two weeks. I know, I know. I'm just
trying to train a soccer route here, right, I'm all
about it. You mean Matilda? Yeah, and Matilla, that's where
she's going. She's gonna be there real soon.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
All right, let's get out of here.
I heard podcasts Heem More Kiss podcast playlist and listen
live on the Free iHeart Appick with Brittle and Laura
ben Rady. What our windows downe?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
That's my world?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Reason the dust only good grabs us all down. I've
done much, but yeah, I know I'll be and what
I want it. Don't mattle where. This is the pickup? Hi, guys,
it's the pickup with Britt Hockley and Laura Burn. How
do we feel when at the start of the show
it says I don't know much? Do you think it
(00:46):
set secret dome? Never thought about it? No, we actually
have spoken about a few times every time, every time
I think do we know something? Yeah, I don't think.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
It's a direct reflection of us. I don't think it's
us saying we don't know much?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Or has someone done that intentionally?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I don't know. I feel like it's a real stitch up.
But I keep this stuff. I've got something that I know.
I read this today and I thought it was thoroughly interesting.
Wanted to share it with you all. Did you know
that there is research and scientific evidence that suggests that
women can subconsciously assess a potential partner's genetic compatibility through kissing.
So by kissing someone you can figure out in your
(01:25):
body whether or not your DNA is compatible with that
personal life.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I think that is rubbish.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
That's true, it's not true. Is even here to prove it?
You're literally looking at Wikipedia. I'm not looking at Wikipedia.
I know it doesn't go for everything because a lot
of us are just it overrides by the red flags
and the chemistry and the hormones and whatnot. But there's
like something to the saying that if it just doesn't
feel right, maybe science also backs it up.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Well, maybe this can actually is actually perfect timing for
our ask on Cut Call this week, because we have
a listener that wants to know how you can tell
the difference between if something is just like a crush
or if you really like them, or if you just
want someone to pay attention to you, like is it
real or is it not real? And I think all
anything is make out obviously, swap some saliva.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
And then you're going you'll know whether your genes are
a good or not. Yea, I will say I think
my radar prior to my husband was terrible. So I
don't know if this works because I've kissed many men
who I was not compatible.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
He hasn't worked with you, and it did not work.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
But I'm stubborn and I just wanted to, you know,
keep on trying to prove that I could be right.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Hey, it's Thursday, which means it is ask Guncut, where
you guys write in and call up with your biggest
problems and us is very untrained, unqualified radio host.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
We do our best to answer it.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
We do this every week on our podcast Life on
Cut podcast.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
It's a fan favorite and we absolutely love it.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
And today we have Andrea on the phone, who has
a bit of a predicament around I guess young love Andrew.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Is that the case?
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Yeah, that's the case.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
What's going on?
Speaker 5 (02:54):
So I'm here at UNI and I've kind of developed
a crush on this guy. I don't really know if
I have or I just like that he's kind of
interested in me.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
What's he done to make you think that he's interested
in you?
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Firstly, Well, he has a very like flittatious personality and
very charismatic and I don't know if I'm kind of
like picking up that it's you know, flirting vibes, or
if he's just really charming.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I also think it's kind of like fifty to fifty.
Sometimes I would never have even thought about someone as
a potential partner, and then they started showing interest in me,
and I was like, Oh, maybe I like you, but
actually maybe I just like the attention. I can't tell.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I think that you're overthinking this. I think this is
actually quite easy.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
You want to know.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
How do I know if I actually like him or.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Not to go on a date.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
I just sometimes wonder if we overthink things. Unless you're
a pulsed by him and he's giving you the ick.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
If you think you could like him and you're confused,
it means there's a chance that you really do like him.
You'll figure out pretty quickly if it's real or not,
or if it's the attention. We all like a bit
of attention.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Let's be real. It's human nature.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
But I wouldn't overthink it.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I think if you're enjoying the flirting, you're questioning if
it's real or not.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Go on a date and find out what you think.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
At the end of the day.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Yeah, there is just one problem as well. My friend
was interested in him first, and he rejected her and
only after that, did I actually start to kind of
like him?
Speaker 3 (04:19):
That actually is a whole other layer.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
It does complicate things. However, However, if your friend, and
this is probably a question for you too, Britt, if
your friend has never hooked up with them, if nothing's
ever happened, just because they had interest in someone doesn't
mean that they can then No, it's pretty shit, yeah,
isn't Yeah? But for how long? Like, what's the time limit?
There's got to be a time limit. You can't just
like bags a guy for forever if he doesn't like you,
(04:43):
never has I think.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
That in that situation, that's definitely you know, this has
a bit like an onion.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
You know, you have to peel it back. You need
to ask your friend.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I would think if she's a really good friend, if
it's an acquaintance at union, you like, sit in the
same lab class, don't worry. But if it's a really
good friend of yours, you will damage the friendship if
you go and try and dating without saying anything. I
think you need to ask and say, hey, would you
care if I asked him out?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Is that too weird?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Like I think I've got a crush on him, And
if it is a problem for her. I wouldn't be
touching it with a ten foot pole, like there are
pallennium men out there.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Trust me, Andrea, how closer friends are you?
Speaker 5 (05:18):
We only met this year, but we've really joined up
because we both moved to UNI, so we're both kind
of doing this on our own. So we formed a
really good bond and.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
By you good for each other there?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah, and how well do you know this guy? Like
when you say he's flirty? Like, what's he doing? Like
how flirty is flirty?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Well?
Speaker 5 (05:37):
He has this like the way that he speaks, and
like he holds such great eye compact.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Oh, he's sending the signal anything more than three seconds
is like is a proper signal?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
But also he might I mean, would you ever ask
him out? Or are you waiting to see if he
makes a move?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (05:54):
I think I could do the risk and ask him out.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I honestly don't do it, like I want to say,
we love love. You don't even know if you like him.
It's not like you're like this is my guy, Like, yeah,
I like him and on a dog my friend, you're
confused by it. I wouldn't be risking a friendship if
you think it's really really real and there's something there.
Talk to your friend first, but there will, trust me, Like,
friendships are so much more important than a hookup or
(06:22):
a crush that you're not even convinced you have.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Yeah, I back Britt on this one. I reckon at
least speak to your friend about it. But in saying that,
sometimes people can get very territorial over someone that they've
never had anything with, and I also think that that's
a bit weird because they don't think that you can
like be like I liked him for a month and
he didn't like me. Nothing ever happened, and therefore no
one else.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Can our laws think about it. Imagine if let's do
it like you and me. Imagine you asked a guy
out that you really liked and he said no, and
then I was like, cool, I'll do it and he
said yes. You'd be like, okay, cool, Britt, that's pretty shit.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Like you were the same tind date as guy, but we.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Didn't know that was years apart. We didn't even know
each other.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
So it's like, if that happened, you'd be devoted as
a friend. You'd be like, man, there's so many people
out there like you knew I liked him, and how
would she feel knowing she wasn't good enough and she
was rejected but you were.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I do think that there's a time limit to it, though,
Like I don't think that it means I seem to
a fifty that's I mean. I don't think that it
means like if you still feel like this in six
months or a year's time, Like you know, I don't
think that that counts for like indefinitely in perpetuity, that
no one's ever allowed to like hook up with the away.
Laura's sayn put a time limit on it.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
I'm saying, don't do it, but.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
You know what you have to do, Andreas, give us
a call back and let's know how it all goes.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Will do.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Thank you guys so much, Thanks, honey, thank you. She's like,
you guys win no help.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
She's like, what was that.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
We've been talking about? Bookwek Spotlights the home of costumes
and Accessories to bring all of your favorite Bookweek characters
to life. You guys, So many of you who have
been listening to the show have reached out either via
Instagram and sharing with us either the costumes that you've
made in the past or any hot tips that you
have for brit because I mean, I think you're doing
very well. I don't think you're struggling.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I think you need to tell people first, I'm making
your daughter's book wuick costume.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
That's where we're at.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I've put my hand up and I've said, you know what,
challenge accepted.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I only have a dog.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
I don't have to do much for her, So I'm
gonna make your child's book week on.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
You did send me some progress pics and like, I'm
loving the sequence. I'm loving the tassels. I'm also loving
the length of the skirt that I was worried was
going to be in appropriately short and glue gun burns.
But I've got oh yeah, you've been slaving away. But
also so many people have sent in their photos of
their kids and the things that they've worn to Bookweek,
and I just want to clarify. Maybe I need some
other mums to call up and let me know this,
(08:38):
because are kids supposed to help with their bookweek costume?
Because the level of costumes that we are receiving are
elite like these have not been made by children, These
have been made by parents. Is there a competition element?
That I'm not aware of. Oh, I get it.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
I don't think your four year old is capable of
making themselves an intricate costume.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Well, look, we've got Natasha on the phone. Natasha, what
is your hot tips for brit what's going to make
the best Book Week costume? Okay?
Speaker 7 (09:05):
So first of all, I don't think you need to
be putting in in so much effort for it to
be elite.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Okay, right, Na.
Speaker 7 (09:12):
Has to be fun.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Okay, I disagree because I'm looking at this costume that
you've made. You went for the outpackers and Maracas Classic book,
but I feel like there's a lot of effort here
in this costume.
Speaker 7 (09:22):
No. I did that in the night. So I sat
down on the floor in front of the TV. I
binge watched Laura and Order episode four or five episodes,
and I just sat there with the hot glee gun
and scissors and wool like it looks like it was
a lot of effort, but it actually really wasn't.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I know, We've got some other calls.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I just think that your benchmark for what you think
isn't hard work is We've got different.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Bench I knows this is effort, and now that you've
seen this breed. I feel like you need to up
your game, Natasha. We've got five hundred dollars for you
to spend its spotlight, which is going to help you
with this year's Book Week costume. Do you have it
figured out what you're going to make this year?
Speaker 7 (09:59):
No? But I have to up my game again, though,
don't I?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Well, God, it's too hard.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
All right, let's get some more teams.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Let's goda, Marissa, Hay, Marissa, we've got your Well, actually,
you've seen quite a few costumes in to be honest,
but we have one here, Amelia Airhart that we're looking at, which,
to be honest, is pretty impeccable.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Like there is a lot of detail in this. Talkers
through how you made this?
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Well, I always like to start with a cardboard box.
Then I thought I just needed to do a Millia
air Hut. But just putting her in an airline costumes
not enough. So she needs to have the plane, so
I just copy, you've got to do that. You've got
to go that big extra.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
We're going to put these up on the pickup socials.
But honestly, Marissa, is there like a competition element at
this school? Like are we going for rewards or prizes,
because yes, oh there is. This is not about the
kids anymore. It's about the pairros.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
It's not about the kids at all. Man, I know
she can have her book week when she's a mom.
Absolutely have I got a thirty dollars out chair. It's
a local book store.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Well, look even better, we've got a five hundred dollars
one for you to spend a spotlight this year.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
So off your go on paper mash this year. So
it's it's up in the an.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Oh my poor kids don't stand a chance. Thanks Verssa.
All right, Next we got Vanessa. Vanessa, you've gone the
Hungry Caterpillar.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yes, hi, girls, is this a book Vanessa that you
chose because you want to win?
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Or is this what your is, what your child has chosen.
Speaker 8 (11:26):
I was a bit like Laura, running out of time
and thought what can I do? So I painted an
apple and a pair and you know, if you've ever
seen the book, it is a little bit messy, So
definitely go for vintage. The teacher seemed to give extra
points for the nostalgia, so it was it was a winner.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
There, Vanessa. I know that you're trying to relate but like,
I literally checked my kid in a dinosaur costume that
I bought from like I don't even know, or somewhere online,
and she's had it in there for a year. And
then I found a book that related to a dinosaur.
It was really this is a level of effort that
I can't aspire to.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Can't you just recycle? I'm pretty sure my mum she
might kill me. I think she just recycled the costumes.
Like one year I was a gumnut baby, then the
next year my sister was the gumnut baby.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Like, I think that's a.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Smart thing to do. No, I'm not. You've never thought ahead.
I agree, I never have. But other moms are better
than me, clearly, and I'm in full support. I think
this is fantastic, Vanessa. Okay, if you had any tips
for Brute before you let you go?
Speaker 8 (12:20):
Oh, I think with the recycling, I would love to
do that, but my son grows too quick, so you
definitely can't dig out any of last few's dress ups.
But yeah, it's all just about having fun and yet
just grow for nostalgia. They will definitely relate to it.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
The thing I thought is that it's all about winning,
But Vanessa. We've got five hundred dollars for you to
spend a spotlight as well, so that you can make
an amazing costume this year. And Britt, you know, I
think you're gonna be fine. I know I'm going to
be fine.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
You ever expecting anything like these pitchures from these callers?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
I just lower the bar a little bit. Well, these
are exceptional. Well, I think we've established that with Mala's
not going to win, but she's gonna look good. Okay, Britt,
I know that sometimes the media likes to call you
a wag when you're overseas and you're watching Ben play.
I'm actually not mad about it. I love being a wag.
Wife and girlfriend are the very famous soccer player.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Still work a lot.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Yeah, I know, but it has bad connotations that are
the wag community. We're changing that.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah, we've we've collectively decided to change how you react
and feel about it.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Call me wag.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Technically I am a wife and girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
So you're like, I, I refuse to be offended by this.
It's a label that I'm accepting. But yeah, bab I
like that. I like that you can only be offended
by what you allow people to offend you by at
the end.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Yeah, sorry, you're saying I'm married, I am.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Poor good one. You're like, yes, I actually nailed him down.
I did great, Thanks, thank you. Okay, Well you'll enjoy
this because I'm also now frequenting the soccer fields. I
really soccer. I'm I'm not perusing for a date or
a husband. I already have one of those. I do
take him to the soccer field with me, and that
is because we have gotten our four year old into
(13:59):
soccer and I am now becoming a soccer mom. So
here I am every Sunday with my picnic blanket down
by the soccer field, yelling at my four year old
to go over the ball.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
And I real love that you're a soccer mom.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
But also it's such a good age for them because
they don't even have positions.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
They just run around.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
You're not allowed to have positions at that age.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
No, of course, they don't know what a position is.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
That's what I mean.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
That's Lola doesn't even know which goal is hers like
at the moment, I think they need to know that
they need so which way they're running. So the problem is,
so Lola's four, right, and she's just started. I didn't
realize how young some of these kids start. Like some
of these kids have been doing kicker roos since they're
three years old. Like they are so good. They rock
up with their bright, fluory little shoes on that I'm like,
you're going to grow out of that in six months time.
(14:41):
And they just are amazing, And it's really hard because
they're so good and she is very much learning, like
she's so new and she's so enthusiastic.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
And he's decided, you're not a late bloomer at fall.
There might have been people that started early, but she's.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Got blooty times. I agree completely. But the problem is
is that the skill set in the one class is
so varied, so all the kids that are really good,
like Lawla doesn't even get to look at the ball.
She doesn't even touch the ball because they are all
over it and they're the ones kicking it around, getting
the goals and everything else. And there's this one little
boy who is so good. I know he's the same
age as her, but he's just so great that he
(15:16):
really needs to move up a level. They pay mixed,
so yeah, they play, they're only four. They don't gender
it at four, oh, they should though, he's so good.
And I was watching it and I was just starting
to get filled with the frustrations. I had so much
empathy for her in terms of like how hard it
was for her and how hard she was trying, but
she was getting no reward back because she just wasn't
(15:36):
getting any time with the ball. No. I just felt
like the mom rage in me, and I said to Matt,
I was like, that kid should really be in the
class above, and that was like, yeah, but I mean
he's four. And I was like, maybe I'll speak to
the coach and that was like, shut up, don't be
that mom.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
No, but it's hard not to because I mean, maybe
you can talk to them, Maybe you can just say, hey,
can you just try and make sure they all get
to touch the ball, because my little nephew's in football
like soccer, and they make sure everyone gets like, of
course they're learning, and you know, there are always people
that are going to be standout kids, like that's natural,
but their team is really about making sure everyone gets
(16:17):
to touch it.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
No, don't get me wrong. They do like all the
drills and stuff at the start, like she's kicking a
ball around. It's when they play like a little fake game.
At the end, she doesn't get a look in. But
I never realized that I would be that type of
sideline sport mom. Like I didn't think I had it
in me. I've never been exposed to it. But the
second I sat there on that picnic rug next to
those witch's hats, I was like, go Lola. Matt just
(16:41):
looked to me like who are you and shut off?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
I pickture Lola maybe transitioning.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
I get it's something a bit more rough, like I
can see her in rugby. It's a bit of a bulldozer,
like you know, she's really in there.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
She's a go getter because she's a little bit timid
though because it is still new for her. And I
was like, don't worry about the other kids.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Kick that ball although them an will tap them. Oh
can you take some videos?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Yeah, of course. But I also just think I'm a
liability and I'm going to embarrass myself.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Mat.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
It's like, you need to come down. This is a
four year old soccer game. It's not even a soccer game.
Lola doesn't know which goalpot, like she's got to kick
a goal into.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Okay, give it time.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
It's been two weeks. I know, I know. I'm just
trying to train a soccer route here, right, I'm all
about it. You mean Matilda? Yeah, and Matilla, that's where
she's going. She's gonna be there real soon.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
All right, let's get out of here.
