Speaker 3 (00:26):
Reason the dust only good bad.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Dog all down. I don't much, but yeah I know
I'll big get and what I want.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
It don't matter where done.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
This is the pickup. Hi everyone, Happy Monday, Happy Fursday.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Spring, Oh, spring has sprung?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Is it the first day of spring? It is the
first day of September. Don't worry, They're one in the scene. Yeah,
it's also genu. I know no one cares as much
as I do, but this is the month I'm having.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
A baby who we have entered birth months. I have
been practicing my stretch and sweep for you.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
If we ever get to a place in our relationship
where you need to give me a stretch and sweep,
I think we've crossed a boundary.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Do you know what a listener sent in something someone's
been listening for a long time, And a couple of
years ago you said on radio, Hey, Britt, if I
ever have a third child.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
You can be in the birthing squeek. So does that
still stand.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
I stand by it. I have no qualms.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I should tell my husband, but then when I think
about it, ask.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I just turn up big gloves off.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Do you know what?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Though, the first time we had a baby, this will
be our fur The first time we had a kid,
he asked his mum to be in the room and
he didn't tell me. It was great, Like, I love Ellie,
she's amazing my mother in law. But he forgot to
even mention it to me, and he goes.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I think it's okay as long as you're aware of
who's going to be watching the birth.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Yeah, Like you can't just surprise like put a ask
your partner if their mother in law is going to
watch the exit of a child coming out of their
private parts.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I think you should probably flag that for asking me
if I can come, If you want to watch it,
go for god, I want to cut the cord.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Sorry, Matt.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
You had to also very importantly though, first of September,
first the spring, and it's also breast check day, So
if you haven't checked your gals recently, go and you know,
check your breast. It's really important.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Lawsy laws laws.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Anita, did you see what went down at the US
Open over the weekend, so obviously that is the tennis
Grand Slam.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
If you're not somehow across what the US Open is.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
There is this footage of this CEO grown man that
has gone absolutely bonkers online. So after one of the matches,
I think it was maybe in the second round, there's
a Polish tennis player that was playing.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
His name is Camille.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Maijak, and he was like, they go over after they
finished their match and they sign autographs and whatever else.
So there's this kid that's about ten or eleven that's
hanging over the side to try and get this famous
tennis players autograph, and somebody from the other side of
the court is filming, because this is what you do, right,
you film famous people that you like. And so this
(02:59):
lovely tennis player signing autographs takes his own cap off
that he just played.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
In so it's obviously sweaty.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
It's what people want, right, So he gives it to
this souperfan ten year old boy and the boy's ecstatic.
But the boy only has it for like three point
three seconds it's in his hands, and then this grown
man next to him that must be like, I don't know,
forty five fifty years old, snatches it from this ten
year old boy, quickly gives it to his wife, who
(03:26):
stuffs it in her bag and they just try and
do a runner and this ten year old boys are
crying out after them, like.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Hey, like you, what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
That's in my hat back.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
The tennis player didn't see it happen, so he just
like walks off.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
What did everyone else in their stand to? Because I
have seen this.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Well, I think it happened too quickly.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
If you're there in person, I don't think you would
see it and it would have the same effect. But
the video has gone bonkers. Anyway, it's this this guy.
I was about to say this poor guy, no stuff him,
but he has received this onslaught of hate that apparently
he has had to deactivate his Instagram.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yeah, because the Internet does what the Internet does, they
tracked down these people and we have a cold Play
saga all over again.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Well, there are people calling him a sack of garbage,
a common a common thief, a premier scammer, a shameful jerk.
Now this is where it gets interesting. I think grain
of salt here. But apparently this CEO he was tracked down.
Is the CEO of a big paving company.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
His name, I'm going to butcher this. It's Polish.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
It is Pyota Sherrick. So you can all go and
stalk him yourself and send him hate mail.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Yeah, this is what his apparent statement was. Now it
hasn't been verified, but he said allegedly it's all about
the famous hat.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Yes I took it, Yes I did it quickly.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
But as I've always said, life is first come, first serve.
I understand that some people might not like it, but please,
let's not make a global scandal out of the hat.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
It's just a hat and if you were faster, you
would have it.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Okay, can't be real. So there's so many passes.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Firstly, also so horrible to steal something like that from
a kid who's next to you. Like the fact that
this was called on camera. The guy's an asshole. There's
so much about this that is reminiscent to the whole
Coldplay saga of a month ago. In a moment now
where the Internet gets angry, we find out that it's
a wealthy millionaire ceo, which we like to hate on anyway,
and so then you kind of take them down. But
(05:19):
the thing is I don't know if you remember during
that Coldplay saga, there was all these statements that were
generated and were circulating from the apparent ex wife of
the CEO because she left him and she was all.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Empowered and her daughter as well.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah, and it turned out that all of these were
totally fake, like just had been put out on social
media as like the official statement from the wife or
the girlfriend or whoever. And I think it's the same
thing for this, like no CEO with even one ounce
of like, I don't know, some sort of EQ is.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Gonna say it's just a hat. If you were faster,
you would have it. He's a ten year old kid.
The kids as fast as a kid.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Yeah. But also we say that like no CEO would
have an EQ like that, Well he does.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
We saw him take the hat.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
From a child, but I snatched it from the child,
and like when you watch the footage back and okay,
I think with a uablish the statements probably AI not real.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
But going back to the.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Incident, what grown men steals from a child in like
to the level of like in front of a national crowd.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
You know what's on television, you know it's filmed, you're like.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
That is wild.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah, I think though for me, that's just someone who
thought they could get away with it, Like people do
shitty things every day because they think they can get
away with it. Now, I mean, fortunately and unfortunately if
you're that crappy person you like, so many things are filmed.
Everyone has an iPhone and everything gets cap shitted if
you're going to do something that's like so petty. And
but also they kind of like morally not okay, like
(06:47):
the world will come for you.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
The internet will come for you.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
They are a visual and he's out there and you
just can't get away with stuff anymore.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Well, the little kid had the last laugh, because the
internet does do what the Internet did. The tennis player
heard about it through the news. He put his own
Instagram out saying, somebody helped me. I did not see
this happen. Someone helped me track down this child and
they found the child and he sent him a bunch
of more stuff and he has the.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
And this play has made up for it.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
So like at the end of the day, it ends well,
but also like just don't be a jerk.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
That's some morel of the story.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Now.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Last week on the.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Show, and Lauria you're gonna hate that I'm about to
talk about this, but.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Last week on the show, I already know what it is.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
We're talking about aliens and like UFOs and if people
had ever had those really weird and wonderful sightings. Because
I think it's a little bit ignorant and naive of
us to think that we are the only people in
this universe. I think if we can exist, someone else
can exist.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yes, I know, but brit some of the content that
you're bringing is questionable in terms of.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Like, like aliens exist.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
You're sitting in the corner of the studio with a
tinfoil out on.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
I haven't said they exist, but I am open to
it and I love to hear other people's stories. This morning,
something happened to me in my own house and I
just cannot explain it now. I want to get your
take on it, just to set the scene.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I have seen ghosts.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Before, so.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Like that is something that I have spoken about over
the years. I think if I counted them, I've probably
seen seven in my entire life.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
And I am in my early to mid to late thirties.
So this morning I was in my room. I hadn't
put my.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Blinds up yet, like I wake up early to get
ready for a big day work, and I hadn't. My
dog was in my room, Delilah, she was sleeping in
my bed. I had put my bedside lamp on. Now
this is important because the lighting was quite dark and
dull still, because the only thing lighting in the room
was a lamp and a little tiny bit of light
coming through the on suite. So I went into the
shower in my on suite, and I keep the light
(08:39):
on in the on suite, and I keep the door
open so I can.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
See out from my shower, I can see into my room.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I was showering as normal, and then I see it
was like a mini lightning strike in my room, like
this huge flash, really bright flash of light.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
I'm talking three meters away from me.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
It's not like I don't live in a mansion in
the west wing where I'm like, is that something?
Speaker 5 (09:02):
You know?
Speaker 3 (09:02):
It's like, this is.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
The time you just think it could have been like
someone opening a window and the light reflecting alone the
go as in like like apartment across reflecting.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Light into yours.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
The blinds were down, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
There was nothing else in the room, there's no light
coming into the Roomilah.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Was lighting a joint, so no joint.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Doesn't have an electric shop.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
But anyway, so this lightning bolt comes down and I
was like, what was that? And then Delilah growed my
dog and I was like, she has also just witnessed something.
Something happened in my room this morning, and I can't
explain it now. I don't know if I've put these
feelers out to the world because we were talking about
like aliens and.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Ghosts they're coming for you. What if they heard what
if they were like, oh, she might be down for this.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I'm going to go.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Into a room this morning.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
You are banned from bringing content. I do you believe me?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I believe you that maybe the light had a weird
short circuit.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I don't know, like the lamp did. Who knows, brit
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Some things can't but some things can't be explained. I understand.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I was a non believer until I could no longer
pretend it wasn't happening. Like I didn't believe in ghosts
until I saw it.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
You have a very good story, like you. I mean
this one I'm on.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
The fence about.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
But you do have one lightning bolt, the lightning Vault story.
I'm not convinced. I haven't quite joined the Illuminati with you.
But the other one you have about seeing a girl
walk across the road.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yeah, it's pretty I mean, now you have to tell
it obviously.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Yeah, I mean it takes a bit of a darker turn.
This one's not as happy. But like one of my
sister's really good friends passed away when she was only
like nineteen or twenty years old, and so I was
twenty three. She passed away unexpectedly, and so anyway, the
flash forward a huge amount of time. I am just
driving to work on a normal day and I have
(10:47):
to stop on this really busy street for this girl
to cross the road. And I look across the road
at who I'm stopping for, and it was this point
it was like a four way kind of mini highway,
like I never had to stop there for anyone. And
I looked across the road as this girl was walking,
and it was like time stood still.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
And it was like slow motion.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
And this girl had this really happy, bubbly personality, and
she was like she used to walk with a really
specific walk where she'd like bounce on her toes and
she was walking across slow motion, and it wasn't a ghost.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
I could see her and I watched her slow motion.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
When she got in front of my car, she looked
at me and she smiled this huge smile, and then
she looked away and kept walking. And it was my
sister's friend. Let's call her Sarah. That's not her real name, but.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
I was like, that is Sarah. I was shaking.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
I had to pull over, and so I pulled over
and I messaged my sister and I said, this is
so weird. I need to tell you something. I've just
had to stop and cross the road and I said,
I've just seen Sarah. I said, she walked across the road,
she looked at me and she smiled, and I said,
I feel like I need to tell you that.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
She was happy.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
And my sister called me crying and she said, do
you know today's her one year anniversary And we the
friends were at her gravesite and I had no idea none.
You just can't make that stuff up. And like, when
something like that happens, what do you do.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
I mean, I've been very skeptic of a lot of stories,
but when you told me that one that is one
that I yeah, I mean like, what do you say?
Speaker 2 (12:15):
How do you even? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Anyway, so back to the flash of light.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
No, that one. I can't get around that one.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Well, if anyone knows what that could be, I'm open
to calls.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Brittany lives in an old apartment building and had electoral
short circuit this morning and it pissed off.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Delilah, glad have we got to the bottom of everyone like,
oh you just wait, I'm going to find someone.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
You're such a skeptic. My goal is to turn you.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
The last time we had Ghostbusters on this show, they
told me I was having a boy it's at.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Have you heard about the relationship test the bird test?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Briefly? Yes, but I've heard of where it actually stemmed from.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Wow, you know more than me.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I'm the one who brought the break, No gotman.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
I've heard the gotman that he came up with a theory,
but TikTok's taken it and rolled with it.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Okay, yes, that is exactly it.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
So if you haven't heard of what the bird test is,
it's a way in which you can I mean like,
there's no a science behind it to please don't leave
your partner if they fail the bird test, but you
can test them on how invested they are in the
small moments of your day. So basically the idea is
like you might be in the car driving.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
With your partner, or you.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Might be I don't know about the park or something,
and you're like, hey, look a bird, and obviously you
know you want to make a little bit more specific.
Maybe you say you saw I don't know, a pigeon,
whatever it is, a bird, no, but like you know this,
usually you're not just going to be like, hey, look, honey,
a bird, but the specificness of it is something that
they will either lean into it as a bid for
(13:36):
connection or they will be like a bird, like who cares.
And it's this idea of like leaning into the small
moments of your partner's day or leaning away from the
small moments if your partner's day as what looks like
for a partner who's really committed.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Yeah, and so this comes from the psychologist doctor John
Gotman that he's the one inspired the theory. But yes,
it's the idea of like a successful relationship, you should
be able to tap in and tap out to those.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Micro moments that your partner might bring to you, And
I mean it doesn't have to do about bird.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
It could be about anything, the tiniest part when they
want to tell you about their day. Yes, do you
look up from your phone and engage and ask a
question or do you say that's nice, sweetie and move on.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
So of course I saw this on TikTok and I
was like, well, I should probably test this.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Out of my husband.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I should see if he's committed, because now that we're
having another baby in three weeks, I was like, what
better time to really make sure that the relationship has
got legs.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
So he did the bird test?
Speaker 4 (14:24):
I did?
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I did. I like birds. Just want to preface this,
I quite enjoy a bird. I'll point burn. I'll point
a bird out to my husband every so often.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
He's also a good sport Matt.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
I think I talk a lot of grubbish to him
and he really entertains.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Most of it. So how did it go? It actually
went pretty good. I think you past have a listened
to this.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Hello, Hi, honey, what are you doing. I had to
call someone and tell them I was just at a
cafe and the most beautiful glar just came and sat
down right next to me.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
A gala, a gala in the city. Yeah, that's crazy.
It was so cute. Did you do nothing? It flew away?
But I just was I mean, it was so close.
Did you feed it?
Speaker 4 (15:12):
No?
Speaker 2 (15:14):
But I did feed a bush turkey. You said a
bush turkey.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
It's weird.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Oh great, I love.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
You, Bless his soul.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
He still doesn't know what happened though, But do you
know what, he passed the test because he has no
idea what went on. You just cold call you when
you worked day to tell me you saw a bird
and he was engaged.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
You don't see glass in the city very often.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Do Truly?
Speaker 4 (15:44):
You're feeding pictures usually you're crazy picture lady.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Do you know what I'm more concerned about by doing
this is the fact that he clearly just thinks I'm
insane normally and didn't question it at all. He was like, Yep,
that's something my wife would do.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Well. Apparently, thirty three percent of people that did this test,
like their partners didn't pass the test. That's pretty high start.
Thirty three percent of people are checked out.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I thought only thirty three percent made it.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
The rest possibly I possibly read that back way.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I think you did.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
I think no, eighty six percent turned towards each other
for a bit fit connection thirty and only thirty three
percent made I didn't get a producer, Grace.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
So of people that lasted happily for twenty years, eighty
six percent of them all the time are like turning
in to be like, oh honey, love that bird. And
then of the people that didn't, only thirty three percent
of them made it.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Wow, Grace, I will say that the stats you wrote
you were not easy to read, but i'd done, producer Grace.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I'm glad we got to the bottom of the bird.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
All right, So irrelevant, Matt past.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Everyone go home and test your husband's and your wives.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Let's see, let's really mess up some relationships here for
some TikTok theories.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Let's go home, let's go home. Yeah, all right, guys,
that's it.
Speaker 4 (16:48):

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
If we ever get to a place in our relationship
where you need to give me a stretch and sweep,
I think we've crossed a boundary.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Do you know what a listener sent in something someone's
been listening for a long time, And a couple of
years ago you said on radio, Hey, Britt, if I
ever have a third child.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
You can be in the birthing squeek. So does that
still stand.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
I stand by it. I have no qualms.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I should tell my husband, but then when I think
about it, ask.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I just turn up big gloves off.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Do you know what?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Though, the first time we had a baby, this will
be our fur The first time we had a kid,

he didn't tell me. It was great, Like, I love Ellie,
she's amazing my mother in law. But he forgot to
even mention it to me, and he goes.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I think it's okay as long as you're aware of
who's going to be watching the birth.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Yeah, Like you can't just surprise like put a ask
your partner if their mother in law is going to
watch the exit of a child coming out of their
private parts.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I think you should probably flag that for asking me
if I can come, If you want to watch it,
go for god, I want to cut the cord.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Sorry, Matt.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
You had to also very importantly though, first of September,
first the spring, and it's also breast check day, So
if you haven't checked your gals recently, go and you know,
check your breast. It's really important.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Lawsy laws laws.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Anita, did you see what went down at the US
Open over the weekend, so obviously that is the tennis
Grand Slam.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
If you're not somehow across what the US Open is.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
There is this footage of this CEO grown man that
has gone absolutely bonkers online. So after one of the matches,
I think it was maybe in the second round, there's
a Polish tennis player that was playing.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
His name is Camille.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Maijak, and he was like, they go over after they
finished their match and they sign autographs and whatever else.
So there's this kid that's about ten or eleven that's
hanging over the side to try and get this famous
tennis players autograph, and somebody from the other side of
the court is filming, because this is what you do, right,
you film famous people that you like. And so this
(02:59):
lovely tennis player signing autographs takes his own cap off
that he just played.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
In so it's obviously sweaty.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
It's what people want, right, So he gives it to
this souperfan ten year old boy and the boy's ecstatic.
But the boy only has it for like three point
three seconds it's in his hands, and then this grown
man next to him that must be like, I don't know,
forty five fifty years old, snatches it from this ten
year old boy, quickly gives it to his wife, who
(03:26):
stuffs it in her bag and they just try and
do a runner and this ten year old boys are
crying out after them, like.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Hey, like you, what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
That's in my hat back.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
The tennis player didn't see it happen, so he just
like walks off.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
What did everyone else in their stand to? Because I
have seen this.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Well, I think it happened too quickly.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
If you're there in person, I don't think you would
see it and it would have the same effect. But
the video has gone bonkers. Anyway, it's this this guy.
I was about to say this poor guy, no stuff him,
but he has received this onslaught of hate that apparently
he has had to deactivate his Instagram.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yeah, because the Internet does what the Internet does, they
tracked down these people and we have a cold Play
saga all over again.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Well, there are people calling him a sack of garbage,
a common a common thief, a premier scammer, a shameful jerk.
Now this is where it gets interesting. I think grain
of salt here. But apparently this CEO he was tracked down.
Is the CEO of a big paving company.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
His name, I'm going to butcher this. It's Polish.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
It is Pyota Sherrick. So you can all go and
stalk him yourself and send him hate mail.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Yeah, this is what his apparent statement was. Now it
hasn't been verified, but he said allegedly it's all about
the famous hat.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Yes I took it, Yes I did it quickly.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
But as I've always said, life is first come, first serve.
I understand that some people might not like it, but please,
let's not make a global scandal out of the hat.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
It's just a hat and if you were faster, you
would have it.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Okay, can't be real. So there's so many passes.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Firstly, also so horrible to steal something like that from
a kid who's next to you. Like the fact that
this was called on camera. The guy's an asshole. There's
so much about this that is reminiscent to the whole
Coldplay saga of a month ago. In a moment now
where the Internet gets angry, we find out that it's
a wealthy millionaire ceo, which we like to hate on anyway,
and so then you kind of take them down. But
(05:19):
the thing is I don't know if you remember during
that Coldplay saga, there was all these statements that were
generated and were circulating from the apparent ex wife of
the CEO because she left him and she was all.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Empowered and her daughter as well.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah, and it turned out that all of these were
totally fake, like just had been put out on social
media as like the official statement from the wife or
the girlfriend or whoever. And I think it's the same
thing for this, like no CEO with even one ounce
of like, I don't know, some sort of EQ is.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Gonna say it's just a hat. If you were faster,
you would have it. He's a ten year old kid.
The kids as fast as a kid.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Yeah. But also we say that like no CEO would
have an EQ like that, Well he does.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
We saw him take the hat.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
From a child, but I snatched it from the child,
and like when you watch the footage back and okay,
I think with a uablish the statements probably AI not real.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
But going back to the.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Incident, what grown men steals from a child in like
to the level of like in front of a national crowd.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
You know what's on television, you know it's filmed, you're like.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
That is wild.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah, I think though for me, that's just someone who
thought they could get away with it, Like people do
shitty things every day because they think they can get
away with it. Now, I mean, fortunately and unfortunately if
you're that crappy person you like, so many things are filmed.
Everyone has an iPhone and everything gets cap shitted if
you're going to do something that's like so petty. And
but also they kind of like morally not okay, like
(06:47):
the world will come for you.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
The internet will come for you.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
They are a visual and he's out there and you
just can't get away with stuff anymore.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Well, the little kid had the last laugh, because the
internet does do what the Internet did. The tennis player
heard about it through the news. He put his own
Instagram out saying, somebody helped me. I did not see
this happen. Someone helped me track down this child and
they found the child and he sent him a bunch
of more stuff and he has the.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
And this play has made up for it.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
So like at the end of the day, it ends well,
but also like just don't be a jerk.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
That's some morel of the story.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Now.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Last week on the.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Show, and Lauria you're gonna hate that I'm about to
talk about this, but.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Last week on the show, I already know what it is.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
We're talking about aliens and like UFOs and if people
had ever had those really weird and wonderful sightings. Because
I think it's a little bit ignorant and naive of
us to think that we are the only people in
this universe. I think if we can exist, someone else
can exist.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yes, I know, but brit some of the content that
you're bringing is questionable in terms of.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Like, like aliens exist.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
You're sitting in the corner of the studio with a
tinfoil out on.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
I haven't said they exist, but I am open to
it and I love to hear other people's stories. This morning,
something happened to me in my own house and I
just cannot explain it now. I want to get your
take on it, just to set the scene.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I have seen ghosts.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Before, so.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Like that is something that I have spoken about over
the years. I think if I counted them, I've probably
seen seven in my entire life.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
And I am in my early to mid to late thirties.
So this morning I was in my room. I hadn't
put my.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Blinds up yet, like I wake up early to get
ready for a big day work, and I hadn't. My
dog was in my room, Delilah, she was sleeping in
my bed. I had put my bedside lamp on. Now
this is important because the lighting was quite dark and
dull still, because the only thing lighting in the room
was a lamp and a little tiny bit of light
coming through the on suite. So I went into the
shower in my on suite, and I keep the light
(08:39):
on in the on suite, and I keep the door
open so I can.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
See out from my shower, I can see into my room.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I was showering as normal, and then I see it
was like a mini lightning strike in my room, like
this huge flash, really bright flash of light.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
I'm talking three meters away from me.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
It's not like I don't live in a mansion in
the west wing where I'm like, is that something?
Speaker 5 (09:02):
You know?
Speaker 3 (09:02):
It's like, this is.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
The time you just think it could have been like
someone opening a window and the light reflecting alone the
go as in like like apartment across reflecting.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Light into yours.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
The blinds were down, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
There was nothing else in the room, there's no light
coming into the Roomilah.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Was lighting a joint, so no joint.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Doesn't have an electric shop.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
But anyway, so this lightning bolt comes down and I
was like, what was that? And then Delilah growed my
dog and I was like, she has also just witnessed something.
Something happened in my room this morning, and I can't
explain it now. I don't know if I've put these
feelers out to the world because we were talking about
like aliens and.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Ghosts they're coming for you. What if they heard what
if they were like, oh, she might be down for this.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I'm going to go.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Into a room this morning.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
You are banned from bringing content. I do you believe me?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I believe you that maybe the light had a weird
short circuit.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I don't know, like the lamp did. Who knows, brit
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Some things can't but some things can't be explained. I understand.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I was a non believer until I could no longer
pretend it wasn't happening. Like I didn't believe in ghosts
until I saw it.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
You have a very good story, like you. I mean
this one I'm on.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
The fence about.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
But you do have one lightning bolt, the lightning Vault story.
I'm not convinced. I haven't quite joined the Illuminati with you.
But the other one you have about seeing a girl
walk across the road.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yeah, it's pretty I mean, now you have to tell
it obviously.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Yeah, I mean it takes a bit of a darker turn.
This one's not as happy. But like one of my
sister's really good friends passed away when she was only
like nineteen or twenty years old, and so I was
twenty three. She passed away unexpectedly, and so anyway, the
flash forward a huge amount of time. I am just
driving to work on a normal day and I have
(10:47):
to stop on this really busy street for this girl
to cross the road. And I look across the road
at who I'm stopping for, and it was this point
it was like a four way kind of mini highway,
like I never had to stop there for anyone. And
I looked across the road as this girl was walking,
and it was like time stood still.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
And it was like slow motion.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
And this girl had this really happy, bubbly personality, and
she was like she used to walk with a really
specific walk where she'd like bounce on her toes and
she was walking across slow motion, and it wasn't a ghost.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
I could see her and I watched her slow motion.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
When she got in front of my car, she looked
at me and she smiled this huge smile, and then
she looked away and kept walking. And it was my
sister's friend. Let's call her Sarah. That's not her real name, but.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
I was like, that is Sarah. I was shaking.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
I had to pull over, and so I pulled over
and I messaged my sister and I said, this is
so weird. I need to tell you something. I've just
had to stop and cross the road and I said,
I've just seen Sarah. I said, she walked across the road,
she looked at me and she smiled, and I said,
I feel like I need to tell you that.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
She was happy.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
And my sister called me crying and she said, do
you know today's her one year anniversary And we the
friends were at her gravesite and I had no idea none.
You just can't make that stuff up. And like, when
something like that happens, what do you do.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
I mean, I've been very skeptic of a lot of stories,
but when you told me that one that is one
that I yeah, I mean like, what do you say?
Speaker 2 (12:15):
How do you even? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Anyway, so back to the flash of light.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
No, that one. I can't get around that one.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Well, if anyone knows what that could be, I'm open
to calls.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Brittany lives in an old apartment building and had electoral
short circuit this morning and it pissed off.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Delilah, glad have we got to the bottom of everyone like,
oh you just wait, I'm going to find someone.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
You're such a skeptic. My goal is to turn you.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
The last time we had Ghostbusters on this show, they
told me I was having a boy it's at.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Have you heard about the relationship test the bird test?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Briefly? Yes, but I've heard of where it actually stemmed from.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Wow, you know more than me.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I'm the one who brought the break, No gotman.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
I've heard the gotman that he came up with a theory,
but TikTok's taken it and rolled with it.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Okay, yes, that is exactly it.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
So if you haven't heard of what the bird test is,
it's a way in which you can I mean like,
there's no a science behind it to please don't leave
your partner if they fail the bird test, but you
can test them on how invested they are in the
small moments of your day. So basically the idea is
like you might be in the car driving.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
With your partner, or you.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Might be I don't know about the park or something,
and you're like, hey, look a bird, and obviously you
know you want to make a little bit more specific.
Maybe you say you saw I don't know, a pigeon,
whatever it is, a bird, no, but like you know this,
usually you're not just going to be like, hey, look, honey,
a bird, but the specificness of it is something that
they will either lean into it as a bid for
(13:36):
connection or they will be like a bird, like who cares.
And it's this idea of like leaning into the small
moments of your partner's day or leaning away from the
small moments if your partner's day as what looks like
for a partner who's really committed.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Yeah, and so this comes from the psychologist doctor John
Gotman that he's the one inspired the theory. But yes,
it's the idea of like a successful relationship, you should
be able to tap in and tap out to those.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Micro moments that your partner might bring to you, And
I mean it doesn't have to do about bird.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
It could be about anything, the tiniest part when they
want to tell you about their day. Yes, do you
look up from your phone and engage and ask a
question or do you say that's nice, sweetie and move on.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
So of course I saw this on TikTok and I
was like, well, I should probably test this.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Out of my husband.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I should see if he's committed, because now that we're
having another baby in three weeks, I was like, what
better time to really make sure that the relationship has
got legs.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
So he did the bird test?
Speaker 4 (14:24):
I did?
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I did. I like birds. Just want to preface this,
I quite enjoy a bird. I'll point burn. I'll point
a bird out to my husband every so often.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
He's also a good sport Matt.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
I think I talk a lot of grubbish to him
and he really entertains.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Most of it. So how did it go? It actually
went pretty good. I think you past have a listened
to this.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Hello, Hi, honey, what are you doing. I had to
call someone and tell them I was just at a
cafe and the most beautiful glar just came and sat
down right next to me.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
A gala, a gala in the city. Yeah, that's crazy.
It was so cute. Did you do nothing? It flew away?
But I just was I mean, it was so close.
Did you feed it?
Speaker 4 (15:12):
No?
Speaker 2 (15:14):
But I did feed a bush turkey. You said a
bush turkey.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
It's weird.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Oh great, I love.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
You, Bless his soul.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
He still doesn't know what happened though, But do you
know what, he passed the test because he has no
idea what went on. You just cold call you when
you worked day to tell me you saw a bird
and he was engaged.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
You don't see glass in the city very often.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Do Truly?
Speaker 4 (15:44):
You're feeding pictures usually you're crazy picture lady.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Do you know what I'm more concerned about by doing
this is the fact that he clearly just thinks I'm
insane normally and didn't question it at all. He was like, Yep,
that's something my wife would do.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Well. Apparently, thirty three percent of people that did this test,
like their partners didn't pass the test. That's pretty high start.
Thirty three percent of people are checked out.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I thought only thirty three percent made it.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
The rest possibly I possibly read that back way.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I think you did.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
I think no, eighty six percent turned towards each other
for a bit fit connection thirty and only thirty three
percent made I didn't get a producer, Grace.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
So of people that lasted happily for twenty years, eighty
six percent of them all the time are like turning
in to be like, oh honey, love that bird. And
then of the people that didn't, only thirty three percent
of them made it.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Wow, Grace, I will say that the stats you wrote
you were not easy to read, but i'd done, producer Grace.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I'm glad we got to the bottom of the bird.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
All right, So irrelevant, Matt past.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Everyone go home and test your husband's and your wives.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Let's see, let's really mess up some relationships here for
some TikTok theories.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Let's go home, let's go home. Yeah, all right, guys,
that's it.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
