Pickup with Brittle and Laura.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Burn Radio work Our windows down.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
That's my word, Rison the dust only good jabs all down.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
I don't much, but yeah I'm not. I'll big get and.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
What I want.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
It don't matter where.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
This is the.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Pickup, Hi, everyone, it is the Pickup with Britt Hockley
and Laura Burn.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
You've got some important little jabby jab information to talk
about today, Laura.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Don't you.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Yeah, nothing like starting off the radio show with a
jabby jab.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
No, I've got it.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I've got a very important PSA for anyone who is pregnant.
And the reason why I wanted to talk about this
is because you're pregnant. Yeah, spoiler No, because I'm having
my third baby, which means I've had now two other kids.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
That's what happens, and I never wait, I never knew
about I only just want that.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Three comes after two?
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Oh god?
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Sorry what you could chop it up to pregnancy brain,
but no, here we are.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
No.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I went and got a vaccine, the RSV vaccine. So
if you're a parent, you might be aware there are
such crazy levels of RSV, which is a respiratory infection
that really affects little kids and can be super life
threatening for little babies in particular. But something I didn't
know is that if you're pregnant between twenty eight weeks
and thirty six weeks, you can go and get the
(01:39):
vaccine as you know the mum, and that vaccine is
passed on to the baby, so your baby is born
with her some sort of immunity against it. And I
went into chemist warehouse and had it done, And I
wish I had known that. For Mali and Fialola.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
I know that and I'm not pregnant, but maybe it's
because I worked in a hospital, But yeah, I had
no idea that there are people that are having babies
that don't know this. And I just want to double
down on this how important it is. My little niece Maya,
she's ten months now. She was in ICU at about
or she must have been five months old. We almost
lost her. She was in there for a long time
(02:14):
and it was she was a premi baby, so she
was already tiny and she was in the tube.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
It was a really horrific time.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
And that was with RSB and that is because on
the day my sister Sherry was supposed to get her
RSV vaccine, like she was going to get it, she
went into early labor.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
So she's never got the vaccine.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
There is a high chance that Maya wouldn't have been
anywhere near as ill if my sister had that vaccine.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
So it's just it was a real lesson in how
important that is.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
No, and I remember that and it was so incredibly scary,
and this is just such an important I mean, there'd
be so many women who don't know that this exists.
If you're twenty eight to thirty six weeks gestation, you
can go into chemist warehouse, you can get it done.
It's so easy to book online. And I just thought
that that might help some people out.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
I love that. It is time for the thing we
do every Thursday, and that is ask Uncut.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Well, you guys call up with your biggest, deepest, darkest
problems and Britain and I do our absolute best to
answer them. We've got Lauren on the phone at the moment,
and Lauren has met the man of her dreams on Kintiqui.
The problem is is that he does not live in
the country. Oh that sounds familiar, and then they have
to do a long distance bridge. I thought you'd have
an actual skin in the game on this one.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Lauren, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Hey, what's going on? Give us a rundown.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
I met this guy that I think could be the one,
but he lives in Canada and I live in Australia,
and we both have careers where I don't think we
can move, you know, like I'm a doctor and I
don't have a license in Canada and he's worked for
ten years to work his way up this industry. He
can't just move here.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
So have you guys had this conversation, Like, I mean,
have you actually said, you know, okay, I'm really wanting
to see what this could be for us. And have
you asked him whether or not he could make the
move or is it just an assumption that it's going
to be too hard.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
He told me he's falling in love with me, Like,
we haven't talked about who's going to move. We're just
talking about we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
So, okay, here's the thing.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
I've recently married. I've been together for three years and
we've never lived together. Neither of us have made the
move because we can't. We've both said that our careers
are really important to us at the moment. Having said that,
I definitely make more of a sacrifice. I have to
go there probably eighty percent of the time, and he
comes here. You know, he lives in Italy. He comes
here twenty percent at the time. But we do have
(04:28):
plans to be together and we're working towards that. I
think for you guys, I know, for that medical world
that you're in, it's not easy. You can't just pick
up and start working as a doctor in Canada. Like
it's tests, it's expensive exams, you might not pass them,
it might set you back in your career. You haven't
given us a lot of information about his career, but
I just want to ask, is it something that you
think he could come here for for the short term
(04:50):
and then you both moved back long term.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Well, honestly, I'm not sure, and I think I'll feel
a lot of guilt. So he's worked in the jewelry
industry for ten years and he's now a company's top manager,
and his dad has worked in the same industry, and
the SPAN's stream is to work for his dad's company,
and it's a massive company. But I only trades Canada,
but it.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Sounds like that's an industry.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
He could come here and still working and then go
back and work for his dad if it's a family business.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
But have you asked him that.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
I haven't. I found it really hard pretty early on.
So we've known each other like six weeks, now, like,
when do you.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Have that Oh no, okay, no, it's not early, but okay,
I think and I think we're probably going to say
the same thing on this brit is like with long
distance relationships, you have to have the big scary conversations
really early because you need to know what it is.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
I mean, absolutely, you could.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Date and you could go and have a lovely time
and then get yourself into a situation in six or
seven or eight months time where you're totally in love
with this person but neither of you are even remotely
able to make the sacrifice of moving or you know,
for one person it's going to be a huge sacrifice.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
And if neither of you are willing to sacrifice, then
you need to move the conversation to the next point,
which is, well, do we want to be in a
relationship or the foreseeable future where we are not together.
And that is a question that only you two can answer.
But I would not be put off that it's early days.
If he's seen his falling in love with you and
you guys are talking about forever. That's a very standard
(06:13):
baseline question of Okay, if we do this, how does
it work? And I think it's I just don't want
to see you give up your career because so often
we do see the women that are the ones that
make the sacrifices.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I want to know, tho Lauren. When he I mean,
you guys met, you went on continue give two weeks.
You haven't seen each other since you've been doing this
like long distance phone calling and everything else.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
What did you say when he tells you that he
loves you?
Speaker 5 (06:35):
I said, I felt the same. That's why I would
consider like sacrificing my career.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
No, no, no, I think you have to have those
big conversations before you even remotely entertain.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
The idea of sacrificing no career in the medical field.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Please promise me you're going to have a hard conversation
with him, which is around would you make the sacrifices
to spend some time here in Australia. Is that something
that could be on the cards, Go for a holiday,
spend some time together first or not?
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Please, if we can leave you with one thing, If
I can leave you with the one thing, it's do
not put your career on hold or sacrifice it for
something at this point in time. Write down what it
looks like for both of you to make that sacrifice
and see what one is doable. It will work if
it's right, and he will make it work as well. Like,
no one that loves you is going to ask you
to stop what you're doing. There is no relationship ever
(07:28):
that has no sacrifice, long distance or not. Every single
relationship has it, long distance has it more. But if
he asked you to give up your career put it
on hold, then he's not your person.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
No, he wouldn't. But I just feel bad. But thank
you so much, Britt, that's so beautiful. Congratulations, I'm being
a missus. I'm so happy for you.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Thank you, and please can you let us know like
the follow up, because we definitely want to know, well
I do. I want to know what happens with this situation.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
I will I told him. I was coming on the
pod and I said in the video, he's been watching
the pod and he was like, Oh, they talk about
like really naughty things. I was like, yeah, wait, Aussie,
like nothing out the picture.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Lauren's talking about life on Cut podcast right now, not
the radio show about Lauren.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Let us know what happens.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
And if all hell breaks listen you're not able to
actually have the conversation with him, you can just send
him this audio and then you'll be able to have
it afterwards.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Well you'd get a good ring.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
You're going to have the conversation for me.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Alright.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Good luck Lauren.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
And if you guys want to join us at all
and have us answer a question for ask Guncut, slide
on into the DMS at the pickup and we can
have you on next week to answer your deep, dark
and burning questions. You guys might know Orlando Bloom, Katie Perry,
done Dust, Dum space dust.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Some might say, some might not.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
I reckon, you've got the ick from the whole space there.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Well that's what people are saying, So okay.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
If you haven't heard, they do have a little baby
together or a kid together. They've recently split Daisy Daisy.
Now they've broken up, and since the breakup, I mean,
lots of people have been speculating around the reasons why.
But one thing we don't need to speculate about is
the fact that Orlando Bloom has been using his social media.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
In a little bit of an interesting way.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
And I don't know if anyone else can relate to this,
but when you go through a bad breakup, often your
social media will reflect what's happening in your personal lives,
like maybe you start posting inspirational quotes or the gigs.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Yeah, I do have it.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I've got a bit of skin in the game. But
I wanted to read out some of the things that
he has been posting thus far on his Instagram. Loneliness
does not come from having no people about one, but
from being unable to communicate the things that seem important
to oneself.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Now, okay, question, I've read it a few times.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
I don't understand if he's trying to say that he's
lonely because she was making him lonely, or if he
was trying to say the other way around, or who Now,
I don't know. It's so like into oneself thy loneliness
THI that I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Well, this is the thing about cryptic posts, right, everyone
else never knows the true meaning. Only the person that
it's been written for, actually knows the true meaning. Around
the weird cryptic Instagram messaging, here's another one.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Each day is a new beginning. What we do today
is what matters most.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah, what I think it's okay. I think it's okay.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
He's just showing that he's expressing himself his feelings. It
doesn't matter that he's a superstar. He feels loneliness as well.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Absolutely, I used to do this, right.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I'd go through a bad breakup in my twenties, and
I thought that it was like just like really obscure
and deep to post quotes that I took that either
related to what I was going through, or I posted
them knowing that the person I was dating was going
to see them and they would get.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Like an inside little knowledge into what it was that
I was experiencing.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Yeah, like I'm talking directly to you and it's a
language that we can only hear.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
We did make Laura go back through and find some
of these posts.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Yeah, So the problem is is that I actually went
one step further than that. I created an Instagram page
when I was in my twenties. Not only did I
used to like screenshot random quotes that I'd found on
the internet. When I was really in the depths of
despair of a breakup, I would write little musings I
would call them, and I would post them on the
Internet where people can actually see them. And there is
still a paper trayal of this today. And I will
(11:05):
never You could talk to me to death, and I
will never tell you the name.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Of that Instagram page.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
So it wasn't under your name. It was a fake name.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
It was a fake name.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Okay, I know you feel uncomfortable. I also, by default
feel victory uncomfortable for you. You have to read one out.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Okay, here's one dated the twentieth or the ten fourteenth, okay,
twenty fourteenth, sorry.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Eleven years.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Never overlook the beauty, bravery, and simplicity of the word.
No great, simple, Please make it stop already simple and
to the point. Here's another one. This was October twenty fourteen.
It was a bad year, bad breakup in every situation
in life.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
And this is only a couple of months after what
I It's the same breakup, God damn it.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
In every situation in life. If you ever have to
ask yourself the question, am I settling, the answer is yes.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
I want to curl into a ball this one.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Wait, hold on October. It was a bad month.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
There are millions of things in life that you will
have absolutely no control over.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Your own happiness is not one of them. God, she's deep.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I'm gonna let that one fly. Okay, give me another one, though,
Oh I can't.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Can I read one? Can I read one? Give me
the page?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I'm all right, God, this one really just put a
knife in me and put me to sleep.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Give me the green dream. Maybe one day, Oh stop, no, no,
I still remember the boy. It was not worth all
of this torment.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Maybe one day the two of you will collide, and
for the first time, you will understand what it is to.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Be fully and wholly known.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
You will be known from your darkest corners to the
brightest light, and moments in their presence, no matter how fleeting,
will be calm, full of laughter and rambling conversations, full
of what. And isn't that what we spend our lives
searching for? To be known, holy, right down to our
very soul.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I feel sick. I feel I'm well, Orlando Bloom, don't worry.
You don't even touch the sides.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Laura Burrn was there first.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I see you, I feel you, I hear you. Orlando
love Laura.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Then I met my husband on a reality TV show
and you've never been You've never been more known.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
He knew you along with thirty other women. All right,
change your pace? Can we revisit this?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Can we make this like a basically diary read or
there's so many of them perfect, that's perfect for us.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
They're the palatable ones. They get worse.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Okay, hang around next week. I'm going to be reading
whatever one I choose of yours. You're gonna give me
your phone and I'm going to read whatever whatever I
feel tickles my.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Fence the more I scroll.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
September was definitely worse in October. So we can deep
dive September next time.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Everyone knows Fast and the Furious, right, Paul Walker and
Vin Diesel. Now, the reason we're talking about it today
is because Laura and I are have been discussed it
in the past week or two.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
They want to do the twelfth and fine film in
the franchise.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
I think it's the eleventh, but like, who's counting by
now so many.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
But they want to do it by bringing back Paul Walker.
So Paul Walker died in twenty thirteen, which was tragic,
but they want to put him in the entire movie
like he's a living actor.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Yeah, we talked about this last week.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
There was a lot of moral conundrums around this because
Paul Walker's daughter and his brothers and that are okay
with it. But the question that we were talking about is, well,
who owns someone's image? Who owns someone's face, their mannerisms,
the way they speak, the sound of their voice.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
So Denmark is.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
At the forefront of some new legislation and what they're
saying is basically AI generated deep fakes are now under
a copyright law and every single person should be in
charge of the way they look and the way they
are presented and their voice.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
And no one else has really done this before.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah, I guess it's all around. Every single person has
the right to own their own face in Australia, though
there are laws. If someone's making explicit material through deep fakes,
that is against the law completely. But I do think
that there is a bit of a gray area with
other types of deep fakes. The reason why I think
that this is crazy genuinely is because obviously, I think
(15:17):
when you talk about things like deep fakes or AI,
we often talk about celebrities. I mean, we've got a
very funny photo of the Pope wearing a puffer jacket,
which we all thought was the Pope, but you know,
apparently it's not.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
He actually looks good in it.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Though it looks I was like, that is a cool pope.
Turns out even producer Grace was fulled and thought it was.
But no one's an AI image. I kind of question
it when it comes to celebrities because I think we're
all starting to become a little bit more aware that
obviously celebrities are victims of deep fakes and AI. But literally,
last night at dinner, one of my good friends, Falcon,
came over and he was showing me a photo. He
(15:50):
was like, speaking of AI. Look at how cool this is,
And it was a photo of him and his really
good girlfriend. Obviously she was consenting to this, but they
were like mucking around with how to make AI work
and in some app that they have. Basically he'd uploaded
a photo of himself and her standing next to each other.
They just had their arm around each other, and the
AI app that he'd used had made them go from
(16:11):
standing next to each other, it had turned the photo
into a video, and they'd made out with each other.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
It was so.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Convincing that I honestly I had to see the app
to believe that it actually wasn't created from a photo.
I thought, genuinely he just kissed his friend.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
I wonder if celebrities might use this to their advantage. Like,
I know one's saying it's really detrimental, but I wonder
if a celemb gets done like doing drugs or something
that now it's so real you can just say, oh,
that's not me.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Someone has aied that, like, surely you can.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Use it to attend in the reverse.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
But I also think about it more from like, you know,
if someone can create a picture of them making out
with their friends so easily turn it into a video,
imagine like a jilted X what they could do with
a photo. Or imagine someone who has like a real
vendetta against someone at work and turning AI against them
in the workplace. This is such a new area, and
(17:04):
I do think in the next few years we are
going to see some real creation and also potentially really
venomous or vindictive ways that AI is used. People could
lose their jobs, they could potentially be seen as though
they're cheating in relationships when they're never ever, ever cheated.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
I just think like the advances have.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Moved forward so quickly in AI, but the legislation and
policy never catches up to technology as quickly, and so
there's a little bit of a gray area at the
moment the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
But it's so fascinating.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Anyway, Guys, on that very serious note, let's
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Get out of here.
Hi Heart podcasts, hear more Kiss podcast playlist and listen
live on the Free iHeart Appo.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Pickup with Brittle and Laura.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Burn Radio work Our windows down.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
That's my word, Rison the dust only good jabs all down.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
I don't much, but yeah I'm not. I'll big get and.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
What I want.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
It don't matter where.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
This is the.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Pickup, Hi, everyone, it is the Pickup with Britt Hockley
and Laura Burn.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
You've got some important little jabby jab information to talk
about today, Laura.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Don't you.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Yeah, nothing like starting off the radio show with a
jabby jab.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
No, I've got it.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I've got a very important PSA for anyone who is pregnant.
And the reason why I wanted to talk about this
is because you're pregnant. Yeah, spoiler No, because I'm having
my third baby, which means I've had now two other kids.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
That's what happens, and I never wait, I never knew
about I only just want that.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Three comes after two?
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Oh god?
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Sorry what you could chop it up to pregnancy brain,
but no, here we are.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
No.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I went and got a vaccine, the RSV vaccine. So
if you're a parent, you might be aware there are
such crazy levels of RSV, which is a respiratory infection
that really affects little kids and can be super life
threatening for little babies in particular. But something I didn't
know is that if you're pregnant between twenty eight weeks
and thirty six weeks, you can go and get the
(01:39):
vaccine as you know the mum, and that vaccine is
passed on to the baby, so your baby is born
with her some sort of immunity against it. And I
went into chemist warehouse and had it done, And I
wish I had known that. For Mali and Fialola.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
I know that and I'm not pregnant, but maybe it's
because I worked in a hospital, But yeah, I had
no idea that there are people that are having babies
that don't know this. And I just want to double
down on this how important it is. My little niece Maya,
she's ten months now. She was in ICU at about
or she must have been five months old. We almost
lost her. She was in there for a long time
(02:14):
and it was she was a premi baby, so she
was already tiny and she was in the tube.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
It was a really horrific time.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
And that was with RSB and that is because on
the day my sister Sherry was supposed to get her
RSV vaccine, like she was going to get it, she
went into early labor.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
So she's never got the vaccine.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
There is a high chance that Maya wouldn't have been
anywhere near as ill if my sister had that vaccine.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
So it's just it was a real lesson in how
important that is.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
No, and I remember that and it was so incredibly scary,
and this is just such an important I mean, there'd
be so many women who don't know that this exists.
If you're twenty eight to thirty six weeks gestation, you
can go into chemist warehouse, you can get it done.
It's so easy to book online. And I just thought
that that might help some people out.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
I love that. It is time for the thing we
do every Thursday, and that is ask Uncut.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Well, you guys call up with your biggest, deepest, darkest
problems and Britain and I do our absolute best to
answer them. We've got Lauren on the phone at the moment,
and Lauren has met the man of her dreams on Kintiqui.
The problem is is that he does not live in
the country. Oh that sounds familiar, and then they have
to do a long distance bridge. I thought you'd have
an actual skin in the game on this one.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Lauren, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Hey, what's going on? Give us a rundown.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
I met this guy that I think could be the one,
but he lives in Canada and I live in Australia,
and we both have careers where I don't think we
can move, you know, like I'm a doctor and I
don't have a license in Canada and he's worked for
ten years to work his way up this industry. He
can't just move here.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
So have you guys had this conversation, Like, I mean,
have you actually said, you know, okay, I'm really wanting
to see what this could be for us. And have
you asked him whether or not he could make the
move or is it just an assumption that it's going
to be too hard.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
He told me he's falling in love with me, Like,
we haven't talked about who's going to move. We're just
talking about we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
So, okay, here's the thing.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
I've recently married. I've been together for three years and
we've never lived together. Neither of us have made the
move because we can't. We've both said that our careers
are really important to us at the moment. Having said that,
I definitely make more of a sacrifice. I have to
go there probably eighty percent of the time, and he
comes here. You know, he lives in Italy. He comes
here twenty percent at the time. But we do have
(04:28):
plans to be together and we're working towards that. I
think for you guys, I know, for that medical world
that you're in, it's not easy. You can't just pick
up and start working as a doctor in Canada. Like
it's tests, it's expensive exams, you might not pass them,
it might set you back in your career. You haven't
given us a lot of information about his career, but
I just want to ask, is it something that you
think he could come here for for the short term
(04:50):
and then you both moved back long term.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Well, honestly, I'm not sure, and I think I'll feel
a lot of guilt. So he's worked in the jewelry
industry for ten years and he's now a company's top manager,
and his dad has worked in the same industry, and
the SPAN's stream is to work for his dad's company,
and it's a massive company. But I only trades Canada,
but it.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Sounds like that's an industry.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
He could come here and still working and then go
back and work for his dad if it's a family business.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
But have you asked him that.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
I haven't. I found it really hard pretty early on.
So we've known each other like six weeks, now, like,
when do you.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Have that Oh no, okay, no, it's not early, but okay,
I think and I think we're probably going to say
the same thing on this brit is like with long
distance relationships, you have to have the big scary conversations
really early because you need to know what it is.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
I mean, absolutely, you could.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Date and you could go and have a lovely time
and then get yourself into a situation in six or
seven or eight months time where you're totally in love
with this person but neither of you are even remotely
able to make the sacrifice of moving or you know,
for one person it's going to be a huge sacrifice.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
And if neither of you are willing to sacrifice, then
you need to move the conversation to the next point,
which is, well, do we want to be in a
relationship or the foreseeable future where we are not together.
And that is a question that only you two can answer.
But I would not be put off that it's early days.
If he's seen his falling in love with you and
you guys are talking about forever. That's a very standard
(06:13):
baseline question of Okay, if we do this, how does
it work? And I think it's I just don't want
to see you give up your career because so often
we do see the women that are the ones that
make the sacrifices.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I want to know, tho Lauren. When he I mean,
you guys met, you went on continue give two weeks.
You haven't seen each other since you've been doing this
like long distance phone calling and everything else.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
What did you say when he tells you that he
loves you?
Speaker 5 (06:35):
I said, I felt the same. That's why I would
consider like sacrificing my career.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
No, no, no, I think you have to have those
big conversations before you even remotely entertain.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
The idea of sacrificing no career in the medical field.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Please promise me you're going to have a hard conversation
with him, which is around would you make the sacrifices
to spend some time here in Australia. Is that something
that could be on the cards, Go for a holiday,
spend some time together first or not?
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Please, if we can leave you with one thing, If
I can leave you with the one thing, it's do
not put your career on hold or sacrifice it for
something at this point in time. Write down what it
looks like for both of you to make that sacrifice
and see what one is doable. It will work if
it's right, and he will make it work as well. Like,
no one that loves you is going to ask you
to stop what you're doing. There is no relationship ever
(07:28):
that has no sacrifice, long distance or not. Every single
relationship has it, long distance has it more. But if
he asked you to give up your career put it
on hold, then he's not your person.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
No, he wouldn't. But I just feel bad. But thank
you so much, Britt, that's so beautiful. Congratulations, I'm being
a missus. I'm so happy for you.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Thank you, and please can you let us know like
the follow up, because we definitely want to know, well
I do. I want to know what happens with this situation.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
I will I told him. I was coming on the
pod and I said in the video, he's been watching
the pod and he was like, Oh, they talk about
like really naughty things. I was like, yeah, wait, Aussie,
like nothing out the picture.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Lauren's talking about life on Cut podcast right now, not
the radio show about Lauren.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Let us know what happens.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
And if all hell breaks listen you're not able to
actually have the conversation with him, you can just send
him this audio and then you'll be able to have
it afterwards.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Well you'd get a good ring.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
You're going to have the conversation for me.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Alright.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Good luck Lauren.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
And if you guys want to join us at all
and have us answer a question for ask Guncut, slide
on into the DMS at the pickup and we can
have you on next week to answer your deep, dark
and burning questions. You guys might know Orlando Bloom, Katie Perry,
done Dust, Dum space dust.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Some might say, some might not.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
I reckon, you've got the ick from the whole space there.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Well that's what people are saying, So okay.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
If you haven't heard, they do have a little baby
together or a kid together. They've recently split Daisy Daisy.
Now they've broken up, and since the breakup, I mean,
lots of people have been speculating around the reasons why.
But one thing we don't need to speculate about is
the fact that Orlando Bloom has been using his social media.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
In a little bit of an interesting way.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
And I don't know if anyone else can relate to this,
but when you go through a bad breakup, often your
social media will reflect what's happening in your personal lives,
like maybe you start posting inspirational quotes or the gigs.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Yeah, I do have it.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I've got a bit of skin in the game. But
I wanted to read out some of the things that
he has been posting thus far on his Instagram. Loneliness
does not come from having no people about one, but
from being unable to communicate the things that seem important
to oneself.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Now, okay, question, I've read it a few times.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
I don't understand if he's trying to say that he's
lonely because she was making him lonely, or if he
was trying to say the other way around, or who Now,
I don't know. It's so like into oneself thy loneliness
THI that I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Well, this is the thing about cryptic posts, right, everyone
else never knows the true meaning. Only the person that
it's been written for, actually knows the true meaning. Around
the weird cryptic Instagram messaging, here's another one.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Each day is a new beginning. What we do today
is what matters most.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah, what I think it's okay. I think it's okay.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
He's just showing that he's expressing himself his feelings. It
doesn't matter that he's a superstar. He feels loneliness as well.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Absolutely, I used to do this, right.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I'd go through a bad breakup in my twenties, and
I thought that it was like just like really obscure
and deep to post quotes that I took that either
related to what I was going through, or I posted
them knowing that the person I was dating was going
to see them and they would get.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Like an inside little knowledge into what it was that
I was experiencing.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Yeah, like I'm talking directly to you and it's a
language that we can only hear.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
We did make Laura go back through and find some
of these posts.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Yeah, So the problem is is that I actually went
one step further than that. I created an Instagram page
when I was in my twenties. Not only did I
used to like screenshot random quotes that I'd found on
the internet. When I was really in the depths of
despair of a breakup, I would write little musings I
would call them, and I would post them on the
Internet where people can actually see them. And there is
still a paper trayal of this today. And I will
(11:05):
never You could talk to me to death, and I
will never tell you the name.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Of that Instagram page.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
So it wasn't under your name. It was a fake name.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
It was a fake name.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Okay, I know you feel uncomfortable. I also, by default
feel victory uncomfortable for you. You have to read one out.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Okay, here's one dated the twentieth or the ten fourteenth, okay,
twenty fourteenth, sorry.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Eleven years.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Never overlook the beauty, bravery, and simplicity of the word.
No great, simple, Please make it stop already simple and
to the point. Here's another one. This was October twenty fourteen.
It was a bad year, bad breakup in every situation
in life.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
And this is only a couple of months after what
I It's the same breakup, God damn it.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
In every situation in life. If you ever have to
ask yourself the question, am I settling, the answer is yes.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
I want to curl into a ball this one.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Wait, hold on October. It was a bad month.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
There are millions of things in life that you will
have absolutely no control over.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Your own happiness is not one of them. God, she's deep.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I'm gonna let that one fly. Okay, give me another one, though,
Oh I can't.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Can I read one? Can I read one? Give me
the page?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I'm all right, God, this one really just put a
knife in me and put me to sleep.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Give me the green dream. Maybe one day, Oh stop, no, no,
I still remember the boy. It was not worth all
of this torment.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Maybe one day the two of you will collide, and
for the first time, you will understand what it is to.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Be fully and wholly known.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
You will be known from your darkest corners to the
brightest light, and moments in their presence, no matter how fleeting,
will be calm, full of laughter and rambling conversations, full
of what. And isn't that what we spend our lives
searching for? To be known, holy, right down to our
very soul.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I feel sick. I feel I'm well, Orlando Bloom, don't worry.
You don't even touch the sides.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Laura Burrn was there first.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I see you, I feel you, I hear you. Orlando
love Laura.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Then I met my husband on a reality TV show
and you've never been You've never been more known.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
He knew you along with thirty other women. All right,
change your pace? Can we revisit this?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Can we make this like a basically diary read or
there's so many of them perfect, that's perfect for us.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
They're the palatable ones. They get worse.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Okay, hang around next week. I'm going to be reading
whatever one I choose of yours. You're gonna give me
your phone and I'm going to read whatever whatever I
feel tickles my.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Fence the more I scroll.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
September was definitely worse in October. So we can deep
dive September next time.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Everyone knows Fast and the Furious, right, Paul Walker and
Vin Diesel. Now, the reason we're talking about it today
is because Laura and I are have been discussed it
in the past week or two.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
They want to do the twelfth and fine film in
the franchise.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
I think it's the eleventh, but like, who's counting by
now so many.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
But they want to do it by bringing back Paul Walker.
So Paul Walker died in twenty thirteen, which was tragic,
but they want to put him in the entire movie
like he's a living actor.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Yeah, we talked about this last week.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
There was a lot of moral conundrums around this because
Paul Walker's daughter and his brothers and that are okay
with it. But the question that we were talking about is, well,
who owns someone's image? Who owns someone's face, their mannerisms,
the way they speak, the sound of their voice.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
So Denmark is.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
At the forefront of some new legislation and what they're
saying is basically AI generated deep fakes are now under
a copyright law and every single person should be in
charge of the way they look and the way they
are presented and their voice.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
And no one else has really done this before.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah, I guess it's all around. Every single person has
the right to own their own face in Australia, though
there are laws. If someone's making explicit material through deep fakes,
that is against the law completely. But I do think
that there is a bit of a gray area with
other types of deep fakes. The reason why I think
that this is crazy genuinely is because obviously, I think
(15:17):
when you talk about things like deep fakes or AI,
we often talk about celebrities. I mean, we've got a
very funny photo of the Pope wearing a puffer jacket,
which we all thought was the Pope, but you know,
apparently it's not.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
He actually looks good in it.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Though it looks I was like, that is a cool pope.
Turns out even producer Grace was fulled and thought it was.
But no one's an AI image. I kind of question
it when it comes to celebrities because I think we're
all starting to become a little bit more aware that
obviously celebrities are victims of deep fakes and AI. But literally,
last night at dinner, one of my good friends, Falcon,
came over and he was showing me a photo. He
(15:50):
was like, speaking of AI. Look at how cool this is,
And it was a photo of him and his really
good girlfriend. Obviously she was consenting to this, but they
were like mucking around with how to make AI work
and in some app that they have. Basically he'd uploaded
a photo of himself and her standing next to each other.
They just had their arm around each other, and the
AI app that he'd used had made them go from
(16:11):
standing next to each other, it had turned the photo
into a video, and they'd made out with each other.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
It was so.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Convincing that I honestly I had to see the app
to believe that it actually wasn't created from a photo.
I thought, genuinely he just kissed his friend.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
I wonder if celebrities might use this to their advantage. Like,
I know one's saying it's really detrimental, but I wonder
if a celemb gets done like doing drugs or something
that now it's so real you can just say, oh,
that's not me.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Someone has aied that, like, surely you can.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Use it to attend in the reverse.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
But I also think about it more from like, you know,
if someone can create a picture of them making out
with their friends so easily turn it into a video,
imagine like a jilted X what they could do with
a photo. Or imagine someone who has like a real
vendetta against someone at work and turning AI against them
in the workplace. This is such a new area, and
(17:04):
I do think in the next few years we are
going to see some real creation and also potentially really
venomous or vindictive ways that AI is used. People could
lose their jobs, they could potentially be seen as though
they're cheating in relationships when they're never ever, ever cheated.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
I just think like the advances have.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Moved forward so quickly in AI, but the legislation and
policy never catches up to technology as quickly, and so
there's a little bit of a gray area at the
moment the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
But it's so fascinating.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Anyway, Guys, on that very serious note, let's
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Get out of here.
