Speaker 1 (00:39):
Pappy hump day, everyone, one of my favorite days of
the week.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Matt, Well, this morning wasn't my favorite. Britt.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Okay, let's let's let's spread down. Let's keep people really
low and then bring them up later.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Has Delilah ever done a pooh in the apartment?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Do you know what go on? Delilah? My dog? She's
an aud Shepherd, she's four and a half.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Only once ever, even since she was a puppy, and
it was like the worst you could do.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
She was obviously unwell. She diarya all through the rug.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Oh my god, did you throw the rug?
Speaker 1 (01:09):
You had to because it was one of those rugs
that wouldn't it was like in there.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I just had to burn it, okay, because that makes
me feel a little bit better about buster. He just
this morning I woke up, I'm having my cereal. I
look over and he's just squatting in the living room.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I was like, could he get outside?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Well, I didn't know. It wasn't like it was diarrhea.
I don't know. He never does this. And I was like, Buster,
and he was like, what just did appear in the
living room?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Could he get outside?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
He couldn't have. But normally he'll be like, hey, hey,
I want to go outside. None of that. He just
like got out of his bed, squatted down and I
was just watching him, he was watching me, and it
just he did his business. Am I concerned? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I think you are in a serious note if a
dog's behavior, because.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Busters, what, like, I think he's fourteen? Is he he
might be nine? I don't know. My point is he
could be twenty, he could be twenty.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
He's looking great for his age, those three legs. But
I think he need to be concerned.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Not concerned, but like, yes, if we're going to take
a serious note here, a change in bell habits in
your pet or anything like that, unusual behavior is something
to take note of. Oh god, it's like imagin if
it came out Laura started pooing in the hallways.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
It's happened, right, It's happened, Mattie J. Big big day
for you, Brittany.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Would you believe my little precious for Lola has had
her first day of orientation this morning for Kindy.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I actually cannot believe that. I know she's five nearly.
It feels like yesterday that she was born.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I know, when I think of Lola, I still think
of her and nappies, and.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I still think of her screaming the house down.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Right, But this morning they have an orientation. We have
three orientations, so for anyone who's not familiar with how
school works, so this is the big school next year,
this is for Kindy. So the first year of school
for Lola is called Kindy and they do three orientations
and what they're designed to do is just make your
kid familiar with the school. So you go in.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Three seems successive, now, I know we didn't.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
We did two for Maley. We forgot the third last year.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I don't think I even had one.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I think when we were at school it was like dangled,
you buy your undies over the sand pit and it
was like so.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I don't remember any orientation either. I just remember like
waving goodbye to Mom. At the gate and that was it. Yeah,
but it's nice because you have two hours and you're there,
you drop them off, you go into school. You get
assigned a buddy, not me, but Lola.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
That's like, who's my friend? Any dads?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
And they get two hours in a classroom and they're
not doing anything like too strenuous. They're just like I
think the activity today was like you make a caterpillar.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Sorry.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
The buddy is in like another kid that you can
become friends with of your age or like an older kid.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
So the buddy is they're like the senior class the
year sixes And it means then for each of those
orientation days they had that same buddy and when they
start next year, there must be year fives because the
next year the buddy is still going to be there.
You know, we try and manage Lola's expectations for a
few weeks leading up to this orientation because we're like, hey,
school starting soon, Like we don't want to like wake
(04:02):
up and be like surprise, you're going to school today,
and you forget that for these little kids, it is
such a big deal. Like this morning, Lola woke up
and you have the choice of wearing a uniform or
you can just wear free dress. It's entirely up to you.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Oh, you can freestyle.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
And Lola was like, nah, I want to wear the uniform. Like,
let's do this properly.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
If we're doing it, we're doing it.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah. She's like, get it out, get it clean. And
I got a dressed this morning and I could kind
of tell she was a little bit on edge. She's
a bit nervous. And I pulled out a polo shirt
for her, which was the school uniform, and I accidentally
got the size that was too big. It was Marley's.
So she puts it on and it's it's a little
bit big on her. She's swimming in it, and she
just goes, oh, this is awful, this is terrible. Take
(04:45):
it off. I'm not going And I'm like, oh my god.
She's having such big emotions and I'm like, it's okay,
but we're going to get a smaller polo shirt.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
And she's like, forget about it, because first impression is
mad of Matt, right, gangster.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I look embarrassing, look at me. And I'm like, it's okay,
we're going to get through this.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
You know, you don't think that it's to hang on
is she four or five?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
So she turned four and feb we had the option.
And it's a debate that a lot of people have,
you like, do I send her early when she can
like technically go, or do you hold them back? And
there's some kids there that I'm like, you've been held
back to a lot, Like you've already got like adult
front teeth, you're like five foot four, and I'm like,
there's no way this is your first year.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Like literally a kid like rocks up in his car
and he's like, but Marley, we held her back, okay,
And we were like we, you know, we want to
be conservative here. We don't want to thrust her into
the school system when she's not quite ready. And with Laura,
we're like, you know what, day care is pretty expensive
and also the yeah, and your sister's there, you'll be fine.
So we sent her off and I gosh, Laura and
(05:46):
I were really nervous and like my final words to Lola,
I was like you okay, Bubba, and she just whispered
in my ear with her buddy in front of her.
She goes, Daddy, I'm feeling a little bit nervous. Did
she and I oh my goodness. And I was like,
do you one more cuddle? And she's like, nap saya,
I mean ran off.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
What was a verdict? Did she love it?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
She loved it. She'd with the caterpillar. They had cupcakes.
I'm like, it's pretty good, right, But is that like.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Lulling them into a false sense of security? What school
is like you don't go and just have cupgates.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I think that's what KINDI is. They're just still fingerpainting
every day. Like, I don't think they're learning. They're learning
a bit.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I think they learned.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I think there's got a lot of school teachers right
now that are like, we teach them.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
But there's such a difference between parents who are doing
their very first orientation where they're like, oh my god,
I'm so I'm gonna miss you so much and it's
really emotional, and then parents are on their second, maybe
third orientation drop off, they've already got kids in school.
They're like, see Billy like a storm right off. It's
such chalk and cheese.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Oh, I can't wait to hear how she goes.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
It's wild to think that she's at school, but it's
also interesting to think that at that age, you're so
concerned about what you were wearing. I don't even remember
ever caring about what I wore at that age. Like
it's funny that, I guess that's the world we live in, right,
It's everything's like the tailor Swift's on the TV and
everything's on.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I think she was just so excited to finally get
to wear like the uniform for so long has been
sitting there in a wardrobe and she's never had a
chance to wear it properly. So I think she just
wanted to, like, yeah, put it on and feel like
she was a big kid.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
You need to nail it. You need to nail it.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I no, I'm like, here's the extra large. There you go.
Pat what.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Maddie Jay?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I want to get your take on this article that
Vogue has released.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Now, how do you feel about having a boyfriend? Well,
not for you personally, but.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Like so not for me. I've always preferred having a girlfriend.
But if you want to have a boyfriend, I think
it's great. I love it. I love people being in love.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Well, Vogue has written this article a couple of days
ago now, but it's circulating everywhere that I'm looking. We
spoke about it ourselves on Life on Cut on our podcast,
the heading is having.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
A boyfriend embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Now a bit of clickbait, you think, but when you
go in, it's not clickbait. In fact, the whole article
is about how cringe and embarrassing and loserish it is
to now like have a boyfriend and post them online.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
This is what it says.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
If someone so much as says my boyfriend on social media,
they're muted. There's nothing I hate more than following someone
for fun, only for their content to become boyfriendified. They
go on to say that it is now seen as
cringe and culturally loser ish when people post their partners,
and it's leading to more people wanting to hide their
(08:25):
partners on social media. Wow, okay, isn't this a wild
statement to say, Hey, now having a boyfriend is makes
you a loser?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Line? Are we embarrassing? Am I the problem? What do
you think? Have you ever come across someone posting about
their partner online on socials and going, oh, I don't
want to see that anymore.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Look, there's a part of it that I understand.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I think I understand what they're trying to say, But
I also think I'm giving them too much credit here.
Maybe you're following them because they are the single person.
You can relate to them because you're also single. Then
they fall in love, get a boyfriend, and then that
becomes their personality and you don't relate to their content anymore. Sure,
you can mute them, you can unfollow them because it
doesn't serve you anymore.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Can I ask you a question? Yeah, so you have
been single for a long time fourteen years, no like
ten years, ten years when you then met Ben and
you were happily in love and it was out there,
you were posting about it on social media. Did you
find that people unfollowed you or do people give you
any negative feedback because you were talking about Ben Moore?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
To be honest, I think I got probably more love
and more followers.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
But I think that my journey was maybe mine's different.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
It was very public, like got dumped on a bachelor
and had really bad dating life, and I think there
were more people that were rooting for me than not.
And also I don't make it my personality right, like
I don't even live in the same.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Continent as my husband.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
But here my worries with this is that women are
scrutinized so heavily for everything they do already, like the
way they look, what size they are, what they wear,
what socks they wear? Are they ankle socks? Are they
long socks? What contraception do they use?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
What are you doing for a job? Are you traveling?
Are you on your own?
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Like every single thing we do is labeled and criticized.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
And now I can't even be happy in love without
someone saying.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Love exactly now to even just be like, oh my god,
you've got a boyfriend loser, like I'm canceling, you give
me the eg That to me is insane, because what
we want to do in life is find that person
to like, spend our life with and be happy with.
And I can't imagine all the young women now being like,
oh my god, I'm finally happy. But if I post
my partner, will I get can? Do? You know?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
What? I love? Maybe it's because I'm old and I'm boring,
and this is not who she's writing about in this
Vogue article, But I love when someone's like, oh my gosh,
I've met someone really amazing and I love them so much,
and here they are, Oh my, that's great. I'm into
that and if it's a wedding prousel, I'm.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Like, oh I love a carousel.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Oh my God, give me a wedding carousel any day
of the week. That's the content that I want to see.
I love seeing people that are happy and that they're
in love. I think maybe I could be put into
and two to make five here, But this could have
been written by someone who has just gone through a
very bad breakup and the last thing they want to
do is be reminded that other people have what she
doesn't do.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
You know what, who cares? Live your best life? Post
whatever you want if it's authentic to you and you're happy.
I don't care like if someone wants to unfollow you
because you are happy, they are not the people you
want in your life.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
That's my take it home lotter to the people at
the back. So you whoo you do you?
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Maddie Jay, I'm so glad you're here for the conversation
we're about to have today. Usually Laura and I do
this every single year and we have a wonderful time
going through the list.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Will I enjoy this?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I think so. I actually think you're going to be
into it. But it's not only that.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Time of year where the Dictionary releases their words. It's
the time of year where people name the sexiest man alive.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
All right, yes, before you ask, it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
You, Okay, I wasn't on there at all, did I not?
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Not?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Even?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
No, I don't think they know who's okay.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
I don't need that.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Look, it's questionable for me in the past, Like we
keep think of some of the past years, like Johnny
Depp made it one year.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
I think, like, I don't know, he's some people's cup
of tea. He's not mine.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Okay, let me be honest. My mum used to get
who Weekly to Livered every single week as a kid
when I was growing up, and who Weakling People Magazine.
I think they're related. So I grew up always being
familiar with who the sexiest man was. Yeah, yeah, so
you know growing up Brad Pitt.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
You know, I used to love Brad until all that
stuff came out about him. But he used to have
whole past.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Patrick Dempsey, what a guy, Patrick Dempsey McDreamy, he was great, Yeah, delicious.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Some other past people are Chris Evans, yes, David Beckham, Yes,
totally get it, Like I get that, but this year,
I have never been more excited. This is my whole pass,
so I really yeah. I have spoken about the fact
that this man is my hall pass in the past.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
I just think I see you as being with someone
who's a bit bigger build.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
That's just because my husband's.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Six or five. Right, Okay, you want a teat.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
I thought for you I would hit that with a
run up. I would not I would not be kicking
that out of bed at all.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
It is the first openly gay man to win Sexiest
Man Alife.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Yeah, and I know that's weird that my whole past
is game.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Wouldn't touch me with a tem foot pole, But you
just cannot get past his beautiful good looks.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I am going to tell you who this is. Drum
roll please, Matt all right, Sexy's been alive.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
People Magazine, twenty twenty five. Jonathan Bailey, Yeah, okay's all right.
Oh that's not sorry. Producer Grace is like, all right,
if he was an emoji, he'd be a fire flame.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
He's no Benson Boone, is he.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
That's just because you've got a mista. I knew it.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Look at this picture of him on the People magazine, Like,
look at his facial bone structure. That way he looks
at you makes him feel like he's looking straight at
you into your soul. But Matt, he went on Jimmy
Fallon to I think it was like how he accepted
the award, but he.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Was saying that it was like really hard to keep
a secret.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
I went away with some friends just before, just to
get a bit of pile of time, and we went out.
We had a few drinks and I was like, guess what, guys, guys,
I'm the sexist man alive. Yeah, were like, yeah, do
your affirmation.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yeah. I mean it's just as an honor, isn't it.
Do you think people are going to treat you differently?
Hope it would be such a flex, wouldn't it to
officially have the title of a sexiest amount of life?
Speaker 3 (14:27):
But do you want to know what? It's a flex
and it's funny and cool for men. But if imagine
if a woman.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Went on a show like that and she was like, yeah,
I'm the hottest person in the world.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
They better treat me different. She would get canceled straight away.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
It just hits different when you're a man, and I
guess probably when you're a gay man.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
As well because you get away with more.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Brittany, I'm here to announce that, in my eyes, you
are the sexiest woman alive according to the pickup. Oh, Laura,
you can she's not here. Congratulations, you can accept it.
Round of applause.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
I hope you all treat me differently for this librative award.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
That is it from us guys.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
If you haven't seen it, just go and give Jonathan
Bailey Google it's If I was a little bit younger,
I'd probably print it out, laminate it and stick it
on my walls postap
I heard podcasts, hear more Kiss podcast playlist and listen
live on the Free I Heart app.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Pappy hump day, everyone, one of my favorite days of
the week.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Matt, Well, this morning wasn't my favorite. Britt.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Okay, let's let's let's spread down. Let's keep people really
low and then bring them up later.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Has Delilah ever done a pooh in the apartment?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Do you know what go on? Delilah? My dog? She's
an aud Shepherd, she's four and a half.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Only once ever, even since she was a puppy, and
it was like the worst you could do.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
She was obviously unwell. She diarya all through the rug.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Oh my god, did you throw the rug?
Speaker 1 (01:09):
You had to because it was one of those rugs
that wouldn't it was like in there.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I just had to burn it, okay, because that makes
me feel a little bit better about buster. He just
this morning I woke up, I'm having my cereal. I
look over and he's just squatting in the living room.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I was like, could he get outside?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Well, I didn't know. It wasn't like it was diarrhea.
I don't know. He never does this. And I was like, Buster,
and he was like, what just did appear in the
living room?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Could he get outside?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
He couldn't have. But normally he'll be like, hey, hey,
I want to go outside. None of that. He just
like got out of his bed, squatted down and I
was just watching him, he was watching me, and it
just he did his business. Am I concerned? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I think you are in a serious note if a
dog's behavior, because.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Busters, what, like, I think he's fourteen? Is he he
might be nine? I don't know. My point is he
could be twenty, he could be twenty.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
He's looking great for his age, those three legs. But
I think he need to be concerned.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Not concerned, but like, yes, if we're going to take
a serious note here, a change in bell habits in
your pet or anything like that, unusual behavior is something
to take note of. Oh god, it's like imagin if
it came out Laura started pooing in the hallways.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
It's happened, right, It's happened, Mattie J. Big big day
for you, Brittany.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Would you believe my little precious for Lola has had
her first day of orientation this morning for Kindy.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I actually cannot believe that. I know she's five nearly.
It feels like yesterday that she was born.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I know, when I think of Lola, I still think
of her and nappies, and.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I still think of her screaming the house down.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Right, But this morning they have an orientation. We have
three orientations, so for anyone who's not familiar with how
school works, so this is the big school next year,
this is for Kindy. So the first year of school
for Lola is called Kindy and they do three orientations
and what they're designed to do is just make your
kid familiar with the school. So you go in.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Three seems successive, now, I know we didn't.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
We did two for Maley. We forgot the third last year.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I don't think I even had one.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I think when we were at school it was like dangled,
you buy your undies over the sand pit and it
was like so.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I don't remember any orientation either. I just remember like
waving goodbye to Mom. At the gate and that was it. Yeah,
but it's nice because you have two hours and you're there,
you drop them off, you go into school. You get
assigned a buddy, not me, but Lola.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
That's like, who's my friend? Any dads?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
And they get two hours in a classroom and they're
not doing anything like too strenuous. They're just like I
think the activity today was like you make a caterpillar.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Sorry.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
The buddy is in like another kid that you can
become friends with of your age or like an older kid.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
So the buddy is they're like the senior class the
year sixes And it means then for each of those
orientation days they had that same buddy and when they
start next year, there must be year fives because the
next year the buddy is still going to be there.
You know, we try and manage Lola's expectations for a
few weeks leading up to this orientation because we're like, hey,
school starting soon, Like we don't want to like wake
(04:02):
up and be like surprise, you're going to school today,
and you forget that for these little kids, it is
such a big deal. Like this morning, Lola woke up
and you have the choice of wearing a uniform or
you can just wear free dress. It's entirely up to you.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Oh, you can freestyle.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
And Lola was like, nah, I want to wear the uniform. Like,
let's do this properly.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
If we're doing it, we're doing it.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah. She's like, get it out, get it clean. And
I got a dressed this morning and I could kind
of tell she was a little bit on edge. She's
a bit nervous. And I pulled out a polo shirt
for her, which was the school uniform, and I accidentally
got the size that was too big. It was Marley's.
So she puts it on and it's it's a little
bit big on her. She's swimming in it, and she
just goes, oh, this is awful, this is terrible. Take
(04:45):
it off. I'm not going And I'm like, oh my god.
She's having such big emotions and I'm like, it's okay,
but we're going to get a smaller polo shirt.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
And she's like, forget about it, because first impression is
mad of Matt, right, gangster.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I look embarrassing, look at me. And I'm like, it's okay,
we're going to get through this.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
You know, you don't think that it's to hang on
is she four or five?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
So she turned four and feb we had the option.
And it's a debate that a lot of people have,
you like, do I send her early when she can
like technically go, or do you hold them back? And
there's some kids there that I'm like, you've been held
back to a lot, Like you've already got like adult
front teeth, you're like five foot four, and I'm like,
there's no way this is your first year.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Like literally a kid like rocks up in his car
and he's like, but Marley, we held her back, okay,
And we were like we, you know, we want to
be conservative here. We don't want to thrust her into
the school system when she's not quite ready. And with Laura,
we're like, you know what, day care is pretty expensive
and also the yeah, and your sister's there, you'll be fine.
So we sent her off and I gosh, Laura and
(05:46):
I were really nervous and like my final words to Lola,
I was like you okay, Bubba, and she just whispered
in my ear with her buddy in front of her.
She goes, Daddy, I'm feeling a little bit nervous. Did
she and I oh my goodness. And I was like,
do you one more cuddle? And she's like, nap saya,
I mean ran off.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
What was a verdict? Did she love it?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
She loved it. She'd with the caterpillar. They had cupcakes.
I'm like, it's pretty good, right, But is that like.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Lulling them into a false sense of security? What school
is like you don't go and just have cupgates.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I think that's what KINDI is. They're just still fingerpainting
every day. Like, I don't think they're learning. They're learning
a bit.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I think they learned.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I think there's got a lot of school teachers right
now that are like, we teach them.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
But there's such a difference between parents who are doing
their very first orientation where they're like, oh my god,
I'm so I'm gonna miss you so much and it's
really emotional, and then parents are on their second, maybe
third orientation drop off, they've already got kids in school.
They're like, see Billy like a storm right off. It's
such chalk and cheese.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Oh, I can't wait to hear how she goes.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
It's wild to think that she's at school, but it's
also interesting to think that at that age, you're so
concerned about what you were wearing. I don't even remember
ever caring about what I wore at that age. Like
it's funny that, I guess that's the world we live in, right,
It's everything's like the tailor Swift's on the TV and
everything's on.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I think she was just so excited to finally get
to wear like the uniform for so long has been
sitting there in a wardrobe and she's never had a
chance to wear it properly. So I think she just
wanted to, like, yeah, put it on and feel like
she was a big kid.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
You need to nail it. You need to nail it.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I no, I'm like, here's the extra large. There you go.
Pat what.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Maddie Jay?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I want to get your take on this article that
Vogue has released.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Now, how do you feel about having a boyfriend? Well,
not for you personally, but.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Like so not for me. I've always preferred having a girlfriend.
But if you want to have a boyfriend, I think
it's great. I love it. I love people being in love.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Well, Vogue has written this article a couple of days
ago now, but it's circulating everywhere that I'm looking. We
spoke about it ourselves on Life on Cut on our podcast,
the heading is having.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
A boyfriend embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Now a bit of clickbait, you think, but when you
go in, it's not clickbait. In fact, the whole article
is about how cringe and embarrassing and loserish it is
to now like have a boyfriend and post them online.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
This is what it says.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
If someone so much as says my boyfriend on social media,
they're muted. There's nothing I hate more than following someone
for fun, only for their content to become boyfriendified. They
go on to say that it is now seen as
cringe and culturally loser ish when people post their partners,
and it's leading to more people wanting to hide their
(08:25):
partners on social media. Wow, okay, isn't this a wild
statement to say, Hey, now having a boyfriend is makes
you a loser?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Line? Are we embarrassing? Am I the problem? What do
you think? Have you ever come across someone posting about
their partner online on socials and going, oh, I don't
want to see that anymore.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Look, there's a part of it that I understand.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I think I understand what they're trying to say, But
I also think I'm giving them too much credit here.
Maybe you're following them because they are the single person.
You can relate to them because you're also single. Then
they fall in love, get a boyfriend, and then that
becomes their personality and you don't relate to their content anymore. Sure,
you can mute them, you can unfollow them because it
doesn't serve you anymore.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Can I ask you a question? Yeah, so you have
been single for a long time fourteen years, no like
ten years, ten years when you then met Ben and
you were happily in love and it was out there,
you were posting about it on social media. Did you
find that people unfollowed you or do people give you
any negative feedback because you were talking about Ben Moore?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
To be honest, I think I got probably more love
and more followers.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
But I think that my journey was maybe mine's different.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
It was very public, like got dumped on a bachelor
and had really bad dating life, and I think there
were more people that were rooting for me than not.
And also I don't make it my personality right, like
I don't even live in the same.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Continent as my husband.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
But here my worries with this is that women are
scrutinized so heavily for everything they do already, like the
way they look, what size they are, what they wear,
what socks they wear? Are they ankle socks? Are they
long socks? What contraception do they use?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
What are you doing for a job? Are you traveling?
Are you on your own?
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Like every single thing we do is labeled and criticized.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
And now I can't even be happy in love without
someone saying.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Love exactly now to even just be like, oh my god,
you've got a boyfriend loser, like I'm canceling, you give
me the eg That to me is insane, because what
we want to do in life is find that person
to like, spend our life with and be happy with.
And I can't imagine all the young women now being like,
oh my god, I'm finally happy. But if I post
my partner, will I get can? Do? You know?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
What? I love? Maybe it's because I'm old and I'm boring,
and this is not who she's writing about in this
Vogue article, But I love when someone's like, oh my gosh,
I've met someone really amazing and I love them so much,
and here they are, Oh my, that's great. I'm into
that and if it's a wedding prousel, I'm.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Like, oh I love a carousel.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Oh my God, give me a wedding carousel any day
of the week. That's the content that I want to see.
I love seeing people that are happy and that they're
in love. I think maybe I could be put into
and two to make five here, But this could have
been written by someone who has just gone through a
very bad breakup and the last thing they want to
do is be reminded that other people have what she
doesn't do.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
You know what, who cares? Live your best life? Post
whatever you want if it's authentic to you and you're happy.
I don't care like if someone wants to unfollow you
because you are happy, they are not the people you
want in your life.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
That's my take it home lotter to the people at
the back. So you whoo you do you?
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Maddie Jay, I'm so glad you're here for the conversation
we're about to have today. Usually Laura and I do
this every single year and we have a wonderful time
going through the list.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Will I enjoy this?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I think so. I actually think you're going to be
into it. But it's not only that.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Time of year where the Dictionary releases their words. It's
the time of year where people name the sexiest man alive.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
All right, yes, before you ask, it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
You, Okay, I wasn't on there at all, did I not?
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Not?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Even?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
No, I don't think they know who's okay.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
I don't need that.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Look, it's questionable for me in the past, Like we
keep think of some of the past years, like Johnny
Depp made it one year.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
I think, like, I don't know, he's some people's cup
of tea. He's not mine.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Okay, let me be honest. My mum used to get
who Weekly to Livered every single week as a kid
when I was growing up, and who Weakling People Magazine.
I think they're related. So I grew up always being
familiar with who the sexiest man was. Yeah, yeah, so
you know growing up Brad Pitt.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
You know, I used to love Brad until all that
stuff came out about him. But he used to have
whole past.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Patrick Dempsey, what a guy, Patrick Dempsey McDreamy, he was great, Yeah, delicious.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Some other past people are Chris Evans, yes, David Beckham, Yes,
totally get it, Like I get that, but this year,
I have never been more excited. This is my whole pass,
so I really yeah. I have spoken about the fact
that this man is my hall pass in the past.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
I just think I see you as being with someone
who's a bit bigger build.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
That's just because my husband's.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Six or five. Right, Okay, you want a teat.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
I thought for you I would hit that with a
run up. I would not I would not be kicking
that out of bed at all.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
It is the first openly gay man to win Sexiest
Man Alife.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Yeah, and I know that's weird that my whole past
is game.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Wouldn't touch me with a tem foot pole, But you
just cannot get past his beautiful good looks.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I am going to tell you who this is. Drum
roll please, Matt all right, Sexy's been alive.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
People Magazine, twenty twenty five. Jonathan Bailey, Yeah, okay's all right.
Oh that's not sorry. Producer Grace is like, all right,
if he was an emoji, he'd be a fire flame.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
He's no Benson Boone, is he.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
That's just because you've got a mista. I knew it.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Look at this picture of him on the People magazine, Like,
look at his facial bone structure. That way he looks
at you makes him feel like he's looking straight at
you into your soul. But Matt, he went on Jimmy
Fallon to I think it was like how he accepted
the award, but he.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Was saying that it was like really hard to keep
a secret.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
I went away with some friends just before, just to
get a bit of pile of time, and we went out.
We had a few drinks and I was like, guess what, guys, guys,
I'm the sexist man alive. Yeah, were like, yeah, do
your affirmation.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yeah. I mean it's just as an honor, isn't it.
Do you think people are going to treat you differently?
Hope it would be such a flex, wouldn't it to
officially have the title of a sexiest amount of life?
Speaker 3 (14:27):
But do you want to know what? It's a flex
and it's funny and cool for men. But if imagine
if a woman.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Went on a show like that and she was like, yeah,
I'm the hottest person in the world.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
They better treat me different. She would get canceled straight away.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
It just hits different when you're a man, and I
guess probably when you're a gay man.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
As well because you get away with more.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Brittany, I'm here to announce that, in my eyes, you
are the sexiest woman alive according to the pickup. Oh, Laura,
you can she's not here. Congratulations, you can accept it.
Round of applause.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
I hope you all treat me differently for this librative award.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
That is it from us guys.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
If you haven't seen it, just go and give Jonathan
Bailey Google it's If I was a little bit younger,
I'd probably print it out, laminate it and stick it
on my walls postap

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
