risen the dust. Only good babs.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Are all down.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I don't much, but yeah I know I'll.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Big get and what I want it don't mattle where.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
This is the pickup, Hi, guys.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
It's the pickup. We've bred Hockley and Laura Burn. Welcome everyone,
Maybe Tuesday, Happy Tuesday, Bri.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I have a question for you.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
How do you like your eggs poached any other way?
Just that's your favorite.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
I love eggs, I'll eat them anyway. But like if
you said pick your favorite, I'd say pop.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
So there's an article that s green viral at the
moment people are talking about it, you know, so we
thought we would as well.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
So.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
According to a study commissioned by the British Egg Industry Council,
the way you have your eggs says a lot about
your personality.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Let me tell you what approached egg means for you.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
It's gonna say absolute legend.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Hard exterior, but so on.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
The inside, like once you crack it delicious. I was like,
I don't know where I'm going with that, all right.
Using a mathematical technique called generalized linear regression model, the
researchers use this their survey results to predict character and
lifestyle traits based on egg choices.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
And if you are a poached.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Lover, you could come from a small family with no
more than one or two older brothers and sisters.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
No, I've got a family six.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I know that about you, okay, perhaps due to how
much practice it takes to get them right. The preference
for eggs tends to increase as you get older, and
it says that you are socially outgoing.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
You are extroverted.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
You also like to wear flashy, decorative clothing and have
a passion for upbeat music.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Oh no, that is so wrong. They wasted all their money.
I love acoustic slow music.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
I love beij Whites outfit. And it is right. I
am probably extroverted.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Sometimes you're extra vent that going yeah, yeah, that part's right.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
The rest of it's wrong.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
What a waste of money that's studying?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Well, sometimes you like flashy things, doesn't everyone though?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
And do you know what, here's something I cooked two.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Eggs yesterday, If anyone cares, I cooked two boiled eggs,
and I timed them because I waste timed them. But
one had a little crack in them, a tiny little
crack in the shell, and then when I took them out,
they were completely differently cooked.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Wow, that's so amazing. I was amazed.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
One was really hard.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
All right, well let's get into the show. Sorry you
brought the egg shot up. I'm just contributing.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
If you didn't listen to the show yesterday, we were
talking about the elusive book week.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Yeah, and I got given possibly the biggest responsibility of my.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Life to day. You took it on yourself. Okay, I
made the admission.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
The last two Actually, I think it's the last three years,
which doesn't sound very good for me, considering that my
youngest is only four.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
The last three years I have forgotten. I just forget.
I forget it's book week.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
And then day of Matt and I are running around
the house, like you know.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Trying to put something together. Yeah, trying to figure out something.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Usually you can come up with something that's like half decent,
but as the kids get older, the expectations get higher,
and also the books that they're reading and that they're
into are a little bit more high level.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Yep, and I personally just think they deserve better. So
I have accepted the challenge slash put myself forward to
make Marley May's Book Week costume.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Well, not only is Britt gonna make it for me,
I'm very grateful for it. We also have Spotlight, who's
come on board. Because Spotlight, if you're not aware, have
the most amazing costume. So whether you make it or
it's already made one, at least it's gonna better than
the past year, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Okay, I can't take full responsibility.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
I will be making it alongside Spotlight.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Now, we do have a very special little person here
in the studio with us, and that is Mally May.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, welcome to the show, Molly May.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
I think this is your first time on the radio. Yeah,
you want to say hi everyone?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I am well, keV Honey, it's so nice having your
work with me.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Hey, MARLEI does mum forget Book Week every year?
Speaker 4 (04:17):
I do not?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yeah, I do? But did you like your costume last year?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Though?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
What did we dress you up as? Themma?
Speaker 4 (04:24):
And beauty and.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yeah, beauty in the best the good thing is though,
is like when you're a mum and you have kids,
You've got a thousand costumes in your house anyway, so
we just from one that related.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
But just your husband Matt's recycled costume, which is funny.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
No one has as many costumes as your husband.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Marley, sweetie, what would you want to wear if you
could pick any outfit in the world, any costume, any book,
your favorite book? What would you want to wear for
Book Week this year?
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Keeping in mind that Arnie Brittany has to make it,
so let's not go too crazy.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Ladybug okay for anyone who's not aware of that, it's
the Miraculous Ladybug.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
She's a big hit in our household. Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
And this is the story book that goes without is
The Miraculous Tales of the Ladybug and Cat Noir.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Okay, I reckon, I have a Ladybug in me, Mally.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
What do you think, hey, what are the defining features
of Ladybug?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
What does Ladybug wear?
Speaker 4 (05:13):
She wears a dotted mask. She wears a costume and
it covers her feet up and her uh and she
has a little yo yo too.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
What about her hair?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
What color is it it's blue? How were we going to
get you blue hair though?
Speaker 5 (05:30):
My hairdoodles?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Oh, you're gonna color them in? Or do you reckon?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
We should get your wig? No, you don't want to
wear a wig. Molly has these things called hair doodles. Huh,
but their hair doodlers, but we call them hairdoodles.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
That's the way you can draw.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
Now, what's the other option?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
If there is another costume and another book, someone else
you could dress up as.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
What would it be?
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Swift?
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Taylor's Swift? Do you know what we do call Mary
in our household?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Swifty?
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Tiny Taylor, Tiny Taylor? Do you know I went to
see Taylor Swift? I love her as well. I love
the challenge of trying to make you into a Minnie
Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Okay, Molly, though, the big question is which kind of Taylor?
Because she has lots of different outfits, So what kind
of outfit would you want to be Taylor Swift?
Speaker 4 (06:18):
She maybe does shake it off because she wears like
swimmer outfits, but they're sparkley.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
That is pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I don't know if I'm okay with you wearing a
swimmer sparklely outfit to school, I reckon when you're a
bit older.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Also wears dresses.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
She does wear dresses.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Yeah, so what about a dress?
Speaker 4 (06:35):
One like a she wears like a green dress. At
the end of her concert, at the last song, she
wears a green dress. And she also wears a red
pink dress.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
What about something that has lots of sparkles on it? Yeah, sparkles.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
She only wears a swimmer suit with sparkles.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
What about glasses with sparkles?
Speaker 3 (06:56):
H she does cool glasses. Actually, favorite thing. Did you
know Taylor's favorite thing is glasses?
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I also, I hope you know that the pressure is
on here because Marley May has high standards, don't you, kiddo?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
All right, watch this. I cracked my knuckles.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Challenge accepted, Marley May.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I am going to try and.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Make you what I think would look amazing on you.
Maybe I'll throw some glasses in and try and convince you.
I don't know, but I'll put some sparkles. I'll make
Minnie Taylor swift, and we'll do a ladybug and we'll
get you to pick your favorite outfit.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Marley, Honey, what do you think you're gonna like more?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
The one that comes from the store and that comes
in a packet or the one Annie Britney makes.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Well, look for anyone who is looking to make maybe
you are looking to make a book costume this week,
or maybe you.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Just want something that's already ready to go.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Spotlight is the home of costumes and accessories to bring
your favorite book week characters to life.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
And thank goodness, they've come to the rescue for us.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
All right, well watch this space. I'm gonna come back
with the burst outfit for you.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Thanks Marley, Thanks Marley.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Hi wow.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Now we have been speaking a little bit about baby
names on this show.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
I'm not saying it's bad.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Your defensiveness there is maybe internal.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
I think it's because it's my fault, because I'm okay.
I have been reconsidering the name Poppy for yeah. Yeah,
we've been talking about baby names a lot in the household,
and I think maybe the reason why I'm starting to
go off the name Poppy, which for anyone who doesn't know,
I'm about to have a baby, and that's the name
that my husband I picked. I think we just talked
about it too much. Now now I'm like, do I
(08:36):
still like.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
The name or not? Or have I changed.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I'm not to say for the rest of your life,
so it's probably a good time to try it out now.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Poppy, Oh, I don't know how I feel well.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
If you just physically shuddered, maybe you do need to
change the name.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
No, look, okay, that's a conversation for a different day.
We are still feeling a little bit undecided, so I'll
report back. But in the interim, I think I have
found the stupidest baby name that's ever existed, and a
name that I know I won't be using because another
influencer or person on the internet has found this one
first and thought this was a good idea.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
There's a woman.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
She's a YouTube star. She's also a podcast Her name
is Tricia Petus. Now, I wasn't familiar with who she
was until I became familiar with her because of the
outrageous baby name that she has chosen for her most
recent son.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I haven't heard of her. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Okay, So imagine pushing out, going through labor, pushing out
a beautiful baby boy, holding that baby wrapped in a
swaddle and looking into its adorable little eyes and going
I know what I'm gonna call you. I'm gonna call
you Aquaman Moses. No, Aquaman Moses is his legal name.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
That's what she called her son.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
That actually should be illegal because you know how there's
I mean, we spoke about it not that long ago,
that list of illegal names that you you genuinely not
a call you shouldn't be able to call them after
like Superheroes or Jason Momoa.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Jason Momoa was a normal name.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
He was Aquaman.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Oh, yes, sorry, I've.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Not actually watched the movies, nor did I care, But
I mean Aquaman.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
It's like calling a kid.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Batman spider Man, like that's It's not a name failure
for sure, And I know that like creative crazy names
have kind of taken it a step further recently. I
feel like a very specific subset of parents are getting
more and more creative with names, which means you just
have to push it further and further and further.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
Is she a single mom?
Speaker 3 (10:25):
I asked that, because like, did two people make this decision?
Like did this have to get past two people? Because
she's got two older daughters called Malibu, Barbie and Elvis.
Sorry when I read this, being that she's a YouTuber
and obviously knows how to get a headline. Part of
me thought, you're naming your kids these outrageous names knowing
(10:45):
that people are going to talk about it, like, knowing
that it's going to be a conversation point and people
are going to like engage with your content. More so,
I question whether this is like business strategy rather than
actually being about what you would actually call a kid,
because who out there is calling their kid aquaman? Come on, well, Trusha, yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I know. Well we talked about the other week. There
was what's the name Nara Smith? She's another big influencer, and.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
She was a triad moving like the leader of the
tradwife movement online.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah, and she was talking about some of the really
controversial names that she was thinking about for her child.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
One of them was like butter.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Velvet, like a few and some were okay, some were
kind of like on the cusp of you know, when
Gwyneth Paltrow called her little girl Apple and everyone thought
that that was really weird.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
But now that's a pretty common name.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
I don't think it's common. It's still weird. Have you
ever heard of another Apple?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I feel like it's not as weird as what it was.
Then you know because once one time rocket, rocket was weird.
Now rocket's normal. River was weird, Now River's normal. Like
some of those names, Apple.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Hasn't picked up yet Apple the top list, stive has
fallen for far from the tree.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Off the back of this as a woman who's been
quite vocal online about why you shouldn't give your kids
crazy Monica names like or come up with things that
are really outside the normal. Now, she was named Mickey
after Mickey Mouse. Her middle name is Lettuce, and her
last name was a swear word which she doesn't disclose
which swear word it is, and let us swear word.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Let us swear word.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
And she said that like her mom just chose the
most ridiculously crazy name, and she endured an entire childhood
full of bullying and kids just like being so cruel
because the name was so ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
I'm gonna have to fact check.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
This, But this is like this story from my dad's
childhood that he's always said, And I don't know if
like his memories changed over the years or you know,
they were taking the mickey as a kid. But he
went to school when he was a little boy with twins,
a boy and a girl, and their last name was
Duck and their names were you guessed it, Donald and Daisy.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I know, I reckon Daisy Dark twins.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I believe that there was a Donald and a Daisy twins,
but I reckon the kids have like the story has
gotten bigger and bigger, and their last name was just
like a normal last name.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I don't know it would check out if your last
name was dark to call them Donald and Daisy do
that to your kids? Well, sorry, she's let us traqua man.
But like people don't whatever they want apple.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
You know, all I'm getting from this is that puppy
doesn't sound that bad after all.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
But sorry, if I went.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Hang on, if I went to a doctor's clinn and
my doctor was called Aquaman, I tell you what, I'm
turning around and walking out.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
I don't know if I'm trusting an aquaman to examine it.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah, And I think you also you end up dictating
what they're going to be when they're older. Like, like
you said, it's not going to be a doctor, Aquaman's
not going to be a lawyer.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Aquaman's Aquaman's probably going to be an actor. That's about it.
In a very specific movie. Sorry, I just.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Looked down at the prep sheet, it says Laura, to
tell story about water.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Shut up.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I do have a question for you, Britt. Does have
to do with water, believe it or not. Thank you
Grace for prepping that break so so well. Producer Grace,
How long would you leave a glass of water out
and still drink it? You know, because it's not like
water doesn't go off.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Okay, I feel like I know it's just going and
I know it's going to be gross.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
I probably leave it way too long.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
How long would you like a glass of water? How
long is a piece of string? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
It could be out for a day, it could be
up for hours, and I would sip on it through
the day.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
But I'm not leaving it for three weeks. It's not
growing mold like a pond.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
No.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
But like, would you put a glass of water next
to your bed and then drink it the next day?
Producer Grace says, no, I drink it overnight.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Yeah, it gets dust in it. It does get dust
in it. It does, that's true.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
But I usually have a drink bottle next to my bed.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
I'm smart.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Also other things can happen to it as well, So no,
I I have a cup that sits next to my bed,
if you guys are still with it, A glass that
sits next to my bed that you know, every second night,
I'll refill it, like I'll drink it through the night
and then I'll refill it anyway, and I give it
a rinse. But like that cup has been there for
(14:41):
a while, Like I'm not taking that cup downstairs to
wash the single cup that I have only have water.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
It's next to my bed. Producer, Grace, did you approve
this day? I should have? I'm so sorry. How did
this sneak in?
Speaker 4 (14:52):
There?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Said drinking water story? Trust me? Trust me? Yeah, well
there's something happened. And I didn't realize this until I
caught them in the act.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Okay, So, so it was the middle of the night
last night, and I've got my glass of water that's
next to the bed, and I.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
With it, we know, the one that I fill up,
you know, every second day. And it's dark, pitch black,
and I hear this. I was like, what the hell
is that?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Anyway, I roll over and I turn the light on
and my cat is perched on the side of the
night stage. She got her back feet on the bed
she's got her arms at the front and she's been
just drinking out of my cup, which.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Makes me wonder how long has she been doing it?
And how long have I been sharing the cup with
the cat. That's actually better than I thought. I thought
you can say there was a frog in there. Well, guys,
you didn't even let me get to it. Every time
I tried to speak, you started laughing at me. Maybe
I need to give you a bit more info about
what I'm talking about beds.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
I don't know if this is similar, but this wasn't
that long ago.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
I got a carbonara. I got a fetish.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Carbinara on takeaway Alive the loan with my dog Tolilah,
and I put it on the edge of the lounge
in its container still but with the roof of the
roof off, the lid off, and I just quickly went
to get a drink.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I'm not kidding.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
I turned back four seconds the whole garbinara has gone.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
My dog ate just slucked it down. I was like wow.
I was like, did it taste good?
Speaker 1 (16:17):
It would have been worse, though, if she'd just taken
one little bite and then you were like, yes, ostill eat.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
It's still good. Yeah, if she had a little bit
of carbonara. Yeah, it's my favorite meal. I wouldn't wait.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
No, I got really worried because you know how when
you're pregnant, you have to be really careful with like
changing kitty litter. And it's great because I have not
changed kitty litter for an entire pregnancy now, because there's
a thing called toxoplasmosis, right, which is like a terrible
virus or disease or parasite or something that you can
get when you're pregnant if you have cats and you
change their litter very se So then I wake up
in the middle of the night. Here's the cat drinking
(16:50):
out of my glass, which is clear that she's been
doing this for a while, like she knows the glasses there,
she's neglected a bowl.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Blame the cat.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
I don't blame the cat, but I wish I'd known sooner,
and I do have to wonder how long has she
been doing it?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
So then I'm in bed in the middle of.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
The night googling, like, can I get toxoplasmosis from cats alive?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
From drinking out of the cat Bowlah, what's the answer?
Producer Grace on the cake drinking cat water. Yes, yeah,
I was.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
You can.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Isn't it only correct me if I'm wrong again? Early pregnancy,
you're quite at the end.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
It's not ideal to get toxoplasmosis at any point of
the pregnancy, because it's past the virus is past the
baby when they're still in you. But it is very
developmentally bad to get it early on, whereas later it is.
It's just still not good. Vaccine or something, No, no
such thing. Anyway, I can get tested for it. I
haven't done that yet.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
I'm still dealing with this today. Guys, it's in real time.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
You need to go and get a sippy drink bottle. Yeah,
it's pretty gross. You're pretty Sometimes you're pretty gross.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I'm not gonna lie. Sometimes I worry about you. Anyway. Guys, here,
we actually have to go do some medical tests. I'm
so glad that you let me end on that

Laura Ben Radio Work Our Windows Done. That's my world,
risen the dust. Only good babs.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Are all down.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I don't much, but yeah I know I'll.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Big get and what I want it don't mattle where.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
This is the pickup, Hi, guys.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
It's the pickup. We've bred Hockley and Laura Burn. Welcome everyone,
Maybe Tuesday, Happy Tuesday, Bri.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I have a question for you.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
How do you like your eggs poached any other way?
Just that's your favorite.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
I love eggs, I'll eat them anyway. But like if
you said pick your favorite, I'd say pop.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
So there's an article that s green viral at the
moment people are talking about it, you know, so we
thought we would as well.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
So.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
According to a study commissioned by the British Egg Industry Council,
the way you have your eggs says a lot about
your personality.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Let me tell you what approached egg means for you.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
It's gonna say absolute legend.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Hard exterior, but so on.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
The inside, like once you crack it delicious. I was like,
I don't know where I'm going with that, all right.
Using a mathematical technique called generalized linear regression model, the
researchers use this their survey results to predict character and
lifestyle traits based on egg choices.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
And if you are a poached.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Lover, you could come from a small family with no
more than one or two older brothers and sisters.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
No, I've got a family six.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I know that about you, okay, perhaps due to how
much practice it takes to get them right. The preference
for eggs tends to increase as you get older, and
it says that you are socially outgoing.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
You are extroverted.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
You also like to wear flashy, decorative clothing and have
a passion for upbeat music.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Oh no, that is so wrong. They wasted all their money.
I love acoustic slow music.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
I love beij Whites outfit. And it is right. I
am probably extroverted.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Sometimes you're extra vent that going yeah, yeah, that part's right.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
The rest of it's wrong.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
What a waste of money that's studying?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Well, sometimes you like flashy things, doesn't everyone though?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
And do you know what, here's something I cooked two.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Eggs yesterday, If anyone cares, I cooked two boiled eggs,
and I timed them because I waste timed them. But
one had a little crack in them, a tiny little
crack in the shell, and then when I took them out,
they were completely differently cooked.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Wow, that's so amazing. I was amazed.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
One was really hard.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
All right, well let's get into the show. Sorry you
brought the egg shot up. I'm just contributing.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
If you didn't listen to the show yesterday, we were
talking about the elusive book week.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Yeah, and I got given possibly the biggest responsibility of my.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Life to day. You took it on yourself. Okay, I
made the admission.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
The last two Actually, I think it's the last three years,
which doesn't sound very good for me, considering that my
youngest is only four.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
The last three years I have forgotten. I just forget.
I forget it's book week.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
And then day of Matt and I are running around
the house, like you know.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Trying to put something together. Yeah, trying to figure out something.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Usually you can come up with something that's like half decent,
but as the kids get older, the expectations get higher,
and also the books that they're reading and that they're
into are a little bit more high level.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Yep, and I personally just think they deserve better. So
I have accepted the challenge slash put myself forward to
make Marley May's Book Week costume.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Well, not only is Britt gonna make it for me,
I'm very grateful for it. We also have Spotlight, who's
come on board. Because Spotlight, if you're not aware, have
the most amazing costume. So whether you make it or
it's already made one, at least it's gonna better than
the past year, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Okay, I can't take full responsibility.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
I will be making it alongside Spotlight.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Now, we do have a very special little person here
in the studio with us, and that is Mally May.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, welcome to the show, Molly May.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
I think this is your first time on the radio. Yeah,
you want to say hi everyone?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I am well, keV Honey, it's so nice having your
work with me.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Hey, MARLEI does mum forget Book Week every year?
Speaker 4 (04:17):
I do not?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yeah, I do? But did you like your costume last year?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Though?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
What did we dress you up as? Themma?
Speaker 4 (04:24):
And beauty and.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yeah, beauty in the best the good thing is though,
is like when you're a mum and you have kids,
You've got a thousand costumes in your house anyway, so
we just from one that related.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
But just your husband Matt's recycled costume, which is funny.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
No one has as many costumes as your husband.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Marley, sweetie, what would you want to wear if you
could pick any outfit in the world, any costume, any book,
your favorite book? What would you want to wear for
Book Week this year?
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Keeping in mind that Arnie Brittany has to make it,
so let's not go too crazy.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Ladybug okay for anyone who's not aware of that, it's
the Miraculous Ladybug.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
She's a big hit in our household. Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
And this is the story book that goes without is
The Miraculous Tales of the Ladybug and Cat Noir.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Okay, I reckon, I have a Ladybug in me, Mally.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
What do you think, hey, what are the defining features
of Ladybug?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
What does Ladybug wear?
Speaker 4 (05:13):
She wears a dotted mask. She wears a costume and
it covers her feet up and her uh and she
has a little yo yo too.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
What about her hair?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
What color is it it's blue? How were we going to
get you blue hair though?
Speaker 5 (05:30):
My hairdoodles?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Oh, you're gonna color them in? Or do you reckon?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
We should get your wig? No, you don't want to
wear a wig. Molly has these things called hair doodles. Huh,
but their hair doodlers, but we call them hairdoodles.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
That's the way you can draw.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
Now, what's the other option?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
If there is another costume and another book, someone else
you could dress up as.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
What would it be?
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Swift?
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Taylor's Swift? Do you know what we do call Mary
in our household?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Swifty?
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Tiny Taylor, Tiny Taylor? Do you know I went to
see Taylor Swift? I love her as well. I love
the challenge of trying to make you into a Minnie
Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Okay, Molly, though, the big question is which kind of Taylor?
Because she has lots of different outfits, So what kind
of outfit would you want to be Taylor Swift?
Speaker 4 (06:18):
She maybe does shake it off because she wears like
swimmer outfits, but they're sparkley.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
That is pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I don't know if I'm okay with you wearing a
swimmer sparklely outfit to school, I reckon when you're a
bit older.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Also wears dresses.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
She does wear dresses.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Yeah, so what about a dress?
Speaker 4 (06:35):
One like a she wears like a green dress. At
the end of her concert, at the last song, she
wears a green dress. And she also wears a red
pink dress.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
What about something that has lots of sparkles on it? Yeah, sparkles.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
She only wears a swimmer suit with sparkles.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
What about glasses with sparkles?
Speaker 3 (06:56):
H she does cool glasses. Actually, favorite thing. Did you
know Taylor's favorite thing is glasses?
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I also, I hope you know that the pressure is
on here because Marley May has high standards, don't you, kiddo?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
All right, watch this. I cracked my knuckles.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Challenge accepted, Marley May.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I am going to try and.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Make you what I think would look amazing on you.
Maybe I'll throw some glasses in and try and convince you.
I don't know, but I'll put some sparkles. I'll make
Minnie Taylor swift, and we'll do a ladybug and we'll
get you to pick your favorite outfit.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Marley, Honey, what do you think you're gonna like more?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
The one that comes from the store and that comes
in a packet or the one Annie Britney makes.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Well, look for anyone who is looking to make maybe
you are looking to make a book costume this week,
or maybe you.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Just want something that's already ready to go.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Spotlight is the home of costumes and accessories to bring
your favorite book week characters to life.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
And thank goodness, they've come to the rescue for us.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
All right, well watch this space. I'm gonna come back
with the burst outfit for you.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Thanks Marley, Thanks Marley.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Hi wow.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Now we have been speaking a little bit about baby
names on this show.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
I'm not saying it's bad.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Your defensiveness there is maybe internal.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
I think it's because it's my fault, because I'm okay.
I have been reconsidering the name Poppy for yeah. Yeah,
we've been talking about baby names a lot in the household,
and I think maybe the reason why I'm starting to
go off the name Poppy, which for anyone who doesn't know,
I'm about to have a baby, and that's the name
that my husband I picked. I think we just talked
about it too much. Now now I'm like, do I
(08:36):
still like.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
The name or not? Or have I changed.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I'm not to say for the rest of your life,
so it's probably a good time to try it out now.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Poppy, Oh, I don't know how I feel well.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
If you just physically shuddered, maybe you do need to
change the name.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
No, look, okay, that's a conversation for a different day.
We are still feeling a little bit undecided, so I'll
report back. But in the interim, I think I have
found the stupidest baby name that's ever existed, and a
name that I know I won't be using because another
influencer or person on the internet has found this one
first and thought this was a good idea.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
There's a woman.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
She's a YouTube star. She's also a podcast Her name
is Tricia Petus. Now, I wasn't familiar with who she
was until I became familiar with her because of the
outrageous baby name that she has chosen for her most
recent son.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I haven't heard of her. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Okay, So imagine pushing out, going through labor, pushing out
a beautiful baby boy, holding that baby wrapped in a
swaddle and looking into its adorable little eyes and going
I know what I'm gonna call you. I'm gonna call
you Aquaman Moses. No, Aquaman Moses is his legal name.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
That's what she called her son.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
That actually should be illegal because you know how there's
I mean, we spoke about it not that long ago,
that list of illegal names that you you genuinely not
a call you shouldn't be able to call them after
like Superheroes or Jason Momoa.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Jason Momoa was a normal name.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
He was Aquaman.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Oh, yes, sorry, I've.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Not actually watched the movies, nor did I care, But
I mean Aquaman.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
It's like calling a kid.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Batman spider Man, like that's It's not a name failure
for sure, And I know that like creative crazy names
have kind of taken it a step further recently. I
feel like a very specific subset of parents are getting
more and more creative with names, which means you just
have to push it further and further and further.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
Is she a single mom?
Speaker 3 (10:25):
I asked that, because like, did two people make this decision?
Like did this have to get past two people? Because
she's got two older daughters called Malibu, Barbie and Elvis.
Sorry when I read this, being that she's a YouTuber
and obviously knows how to get a headline. Part of
me thought, you're naming your kids these outrageous names knowing
(10:45):
that people are going to talk about it, like, knowing
that it's going to be a conversation point and people
are going to like engage with your content. More so,
I question whether this is like business strategy rather than
actually being about what you would actually call a kid,
because who out there is calling their kid aquaman? Come on, well, Trusha, yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I know. Well we talked about the other week. There
was what's the name Nara Smith? She's another big influencer, and.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
She was a triad moving like the leader of the
tradwife movement online.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah, and she was talking about some of the really
controversial names that she was thinking about for her child.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
One of them was like butter.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Velvet, like a few and some were okay, some were
kind of like on the cusp of you know, when
Gwyneth Paltrow called her little girl Apple and everyone thought
that that was really weird.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
But now that's a pretty common name.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
I don't think it's common. It's still weird. Have you
ever heard of another Apple?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I feel like it's not as weird as what it was.
Then you know because once one time rocket, rocket was weird.
Now rocket's normal. River was weird, Now River's normal. Like
some of those names, Apple.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Hasn't picked up yet Apple the top list, stive has
fallen for far from the tree.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Off the back of this as a woman who's been
quite vocal online about why you shouldn't give your kids
crazy Monica names like or come up with things that
are really outside the normal. Now, she was named Mickey
after Mickey Mouse. Her middle name is Lettuce, and her
last name was a swear word which she doesn't disclose
which swear word it is, and let us swear word.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Let us swear word.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
And she said that like her mom just chose the
most ridiculously crazy name, and she endured an entire childhood
full of bullying and kids just like being so cruel
because the name was so ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
I'm gonna have to fact check.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
This, But this is like this story from my dad's
childhood that he's always said, And I don't know if
like his memories changed over the years or you know,
they were taking the mickey as a kid. But he
went to school when he was a little boy with twins,
a boy and a girl, and their last name was
Duck and their names were you guessed it, Donald and Daisy.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I know, I reckon Daisy Dark twins.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I believe that there was a Donald and a Daisy twins,
but I reckon the kids have like the story has
gotten bigger and bigger, and their last name was just
like a normal last name.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I don't know it would check out if your last
name was dark to call them Donald and Daisy do
that to your kids? Well, sorry, she's let us traqua man.
But like people don't whatever they want apple.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
You know, all I'm getting from this is that puppy
doesn't sound that bad after all.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
But sorry, if I went.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Hang on, if I went to a doctor's clinn and
my doctor was called Aquaman, I tell you what, I'm
turning around and walking out.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
I don't know if I'm trusting an aquaman to examine it.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah, And I think you also you end up dictating
what they're going to be when they're older. Like, like
you said, it's not going to be a doctor, Aquaman's
not going to be a lawyer.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Aquaman's Aquaman's probably going to be an actor. That's about it.
In a very specific movie. Sorry, I just.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Looked down at the prep sheet, it says Laura, to
tell story about water.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Shut up.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I do have a question for you, Britt. Does have
to do with water, believe it or not. Thank you
Grace for prepping that break so so well. Producer Grace,
How long would you leave a glass of water out
and still drink it? You know, because it's not like
water doesn't go off.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Okay, I feel like I know it's just going and
I know it's going to be gross.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
I probably leave it way too long.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
How long would you like a glass of water? How
long is a piece of string? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
It could be out for a day, it could be
up for hours, and I would sip on it through
the day.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
But I'm not leaving it for three weeks. It's not
growing mold like a pond.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
No.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
But like, would you put a glass of water next
to your bed and then drink it the next day?
Producer Grace says, no, I drink it overnight.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Yeah, it gets dust in it. It does get dust
in it. It does, that's true.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
But I usually have a drink bottle next to my bed.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
I'm smart.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Also other things can happen to it as well, So no,
I I have a cup that sits next to my bed,
if you guys are still with it, A glass that
sits next to my bed that you know, every second night,
I'll refill it, like I'll drink it through the night
and then I'll refill it anyway, and I give it
a rinse. But like that cup has been there for
(14:41):
a while, Like I'm not taking that cup downstairs to
wash the single cup that I have only have water.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
It's next to my bed. Producer, Grace, did you approve
this day? I should have? I'm so sorry. How did
this sneak in?
Speaker 4 (14:52):
There?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Said drinking water story? Trust me? Trust me? Yeah, well
there's something happened. And I didn't realize this until I
caught them in the act.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Okay, So, so it was the middle of the night
last night, and I've got my glass of water that's
next to the bed, and I.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
With it, we know, the one that I fill up,
you know, every second day. And it's dark, pitch black,
and I hear this. I was like, what the hell
is that?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Anyway, I roll over and I turn the light on
and my cat is perched on the side of the
night stage. She got her back feet on the bed
she's got her arms at the front and she's been
just drinking out of my cup, which.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Makes me wonder how long has she been doing it?
And how long have I been sharing the cup with
the cat. That's actually better than I thought. I thought
you can say there was a frog in there. Well, guys,
you didn't even let me get to it. Every time
I tried to speak, you started laughing at me. Maybe
I need to give you a bit more info about
what I'm talking about beds.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
I don't know if this is similar, but this wasn't
that long ago.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
I got a carbonara. I got a fetish.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Carbinara on takeaway Alive the loan with my dog Tolilah,
and I put it on the edge of the lounge
in its container still but with the roof of the
roof off, the lid off, and I just quickly went
to get a drink.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I'm not kidding.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
I turned back four seconds the whole garbinara has gone.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
My dog ate just slucked it down. I was like wow.
I was like, did it taste good?
Speaker 1 (16:17):
It would have been worse, though, if she'd just taken
one little bite and then you were like, yes, ostill eat.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
It's still good. Yeah, if she had a little bit
of carbonara. Yeah, it's my favorite meal. I wouldn't wait.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
No, I got really worried because you know how when
you're pregnant, you have to be really careful with like
changing kitty litter. And it's great because I have not
changed kitty litter for an entire pregnancy now, because there's
a thing called toxoplasmosis, right, which is like a terrible
virus or disease or parasite or something that you can
get when you're pregnant if you have cats and you
change their litter very se So then I wake up
in the middle of the night. Here's the cat drinking
(16:50):
out of my glass, which is clear that she's been
doing this for a while, like she knows the glasses there,
she's neglected a bowl.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Blame the cat.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
I don't blame the cat, but I wish I'd known sooner,
and I do have to wonder how long has she
been doing it?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
So then I'm in bed in the middle of.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
The night googling, like, can I get toxoplasmosis from cats alive?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
From drinking out of the cat Bowlah, what's the answer?
Producer Grace on the cake drinking cat water. Yes, yeah,
I was.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
You can.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Isn't it only correct me if I'm wrong again? Early pregnancy,
you're quite at the end.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
It's not ideal to get toxoplasmosis at any point of
the pregnancy, because it's past the virus is past the
baby when they're still in you. But it is very
developmentally bad to get it early on, whereas later it is.
It's just still not good. Vaccine or something, No, no
such thing. Anyway, I can get tested for it. I
haven't done that yet.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
I'm still dealing with this today. Guys, it's in real time.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
You need to go and get a sippy drink bottle. Yeah,
it's pretty gross. You're pretty Sometimes you're pretty gross.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I'm not gonna lie. Sometimes I worry about you. Anyway. Guys, here,
we actually have to go do some medical tests. I'm
so glad that you let me end on that
