Happy Wednesday. We love a hump Day. Maddy Jay, Welcome
to the studio.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Can I ask a quick favor? And I hate to
be a pain? Here? Is that okay? If you just
never sing again that little intro song? Is that, Jim,
I don't want to be rude.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Sorry.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
The privacy of my own workspace, well, privacy, that's you know,
I'm included. It's like saying the privacy of the toilet.
You know I'm not there with you in the toilet.
Privacy is by yourself.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
God, I love that you just set the record street
for that.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Well, I just think that you can't call this privacy
because I'm with you, I'm here.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Do you think my voice is that bad that I
can't sing?
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I would say you in my presence. I don't want
to start an argument at the start of the show
of all times. But I would enjoy it more if
you don't, if you didn't sing, If that's okay.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I'd enjoy the show more if I was doing it
with your wife, Laura.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
But hey, we can't all have that.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
This is going to be a great show, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Matt. It is time for us to get up to
speed with how each other have been going with our
Halloween costumes thanks to Spotlight.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Not for me, not for you, but for your girls.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Don't pretend like you're not getting a lot from this
whole experience. You're getting the joy and just giving something
to young children that they will cherish. There'll be core
memories forever, and you're playing a part in that, so
don't downplay it.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
I am a.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Little I want to talk to you about it because
basically match to girls Maley and Lola.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
They both picked their costumes.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
And I've got Lola, she's four, You've got Miley's five.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Now Lola picked a witch.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
She's obsessed with witches.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I don't know what it is a little bit mainstream
for me.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
I just thought it's so cliche, very predictable, Like I
feel like a witch's you know, pointy, hard.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
It's a classic.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
It is a classic.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
But I'm thinking if I really get some creativity in
and I want to, I want her to stand out.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
I'm thinking Mermaid. I think I deviate from the plan.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I've got some ideas, I've got some sparkles, I've got.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Some fish scales.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I'm gonna oh my god. Okay, I don't know how
to say this delicately, but if you don't give Lola
a witch costume come Halloween, it is gonna kick off.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
What do you mean, don't you reckon? I could lure
her away with sparkles.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
It doesn't if she doesn't get what she wants, she
has a complete and utter meltdown. It's a tantrum that
you just can't avoid.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
But maybe she needs to learn that you just don't
get bread. No can tell. I'm not a parent. I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
You can't do this. I want to bring Lola into
the room right now so we can have an intervention.
But I'm just telling you right now, it has to
be a witch. I have been slaving away. I have
spent hours upon hours perfecting this Laboo boo costume. And
it's not a hard.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
One, man.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I know, And I'm putting in everything, all of my effort,
all of my energy. Poppies there getting none of my attention.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
We don't even know where Poppy is because my newb.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
One child not important. Lab Booboo costume. That is my
number one priority right now. And I'm just asking you,
if not pleading with you, to please commit to the
witch costume.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Okay, I just went on record.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Then when everyone says, how predictable, Brittany, that it wasn't
my choice, can we have that on record?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Great, Like, it's National Life, not.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
A fashion show, britt it's kids in costume. I think
she's not going to get graded when she knocks on
someone's door and they go, oh, a witch. Three out
of ten? Here have a banana.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
All right, Look, let's give away some money.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Let's give away five hundred dollars to spend at Spotlight.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
We have had people sending in their Halloween costume this week.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Getting hard to pick, but I have got this one.
This is I dare say, one of my favorites, and
it is Jane Congratulations. She was dressed up as one
of those like inflatable sales people like at the front
of a cast inflatable man and yeah, and it's it's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
It was I don't think it was her. I think
the child's tend But she made it. Jane made it.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Well, we never know. She might she might have got
a spotlight. You can build anything when you're there.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Well, spotlight is the home of Halloween with costumes, accessories, decorations,
plus more to bring your smoo sctacular Halloween to life.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Matt.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I have seen some.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Little glimpses of your laboo boo. I will say it
is looking mighty fine.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I really appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Mannie Jay.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
You've been laughing to yourself all morning about dying to
tell us about this thing that you learned from your
partner that.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
You should have known many many, many moons ago.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Well, before I tell you what my story is, I
want to know that I'm not alone. So if anyone
has a situation something they learned later in life, maybe
it was something that they should have known as a
young child. But if they have something they're willing to
share on radio that their partner has taught them about.
But I would love to hear what it is, and
Britt this is. I don't want to say it was recently.
(05:12):
I was like, it's that in between awkward stage where
you're not quite a teenager, you're not quite an adult.
I was about nineteen.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I think it's a very awkward stage in your life,
isn't it?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Thank you very much? Yeh, it was, and I I
just there's no real easy way to say this. I
didn't know. And I'm going to put blame here on
my high school because we.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Had I don't blame the teachers.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
No, because they're the ones who are teaching me all
the information and they forgot to include this very important topic.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I will decide whose fault it is once you tell
me what it is.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Okay. So I didn't realize that women got their period
every month. I just assumed I put two and two
to make five. Yeah, if you will, that it was
every week, that it was once a week occurrence.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Did you This is strange to me because do you
not know that it goes for generally five to seven.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Days like it goes for a week.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I thought it was just a cential period. I thought
it was just like a morning thing, like it just
came in for a couple of hours and that was it. Well, so,
and you had the band aid on just for that day,
not knowing exactly when that hour would fall throughout that day.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
You mean you think women were a pad every day
just in case that was the hour their period was going.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
To drop in, Like I didn't know the specific You.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Were nineteen, to be clear, But why.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Would I know that? I don't get periods? Okay, women
weren't coming to me.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
You have a sister, you.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Have a mother, you went to school, you had a
girlfriend before nineteen or what did.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
You're saying that I should blame my mother for this?
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Possibly? Ellie?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I mean, Ellie, get her on the line right now,
explain yourself. But no one for a young man, it's
just not I dare say a topic of conversation that
a lot of young men are talking about, and I
think it's good for them to know.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I do want to give some grace that maybe education
has been a bit different in the last twenty years.
That was twenty years ago, right, So I am God,
I am hoping now that kids coming.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Sounds so old.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Well, I'm hoping now that kid's coming through.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
No.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
What a menstrual cycle is like that's crazy to me.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Is it important to know?
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
It is because.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
It really affects the women in your life. So people
need to know. You know what I recently learned. I'm
never going to use this information.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I love how all of a sudden you're standing there
on your pedestal judging me, and now that you're in
the hot seat, you're like fitting something.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Because this is something that I'm never doing anything with
this information. It hasn't made me smarter, but I did
find it unusual. So I found out from my partner Ben,
you know, just an open discussion.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
I don't know how it came up.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I think someone else had mentioned it, or we saw
it online whatever, But that when men want to WII
or urinate, so like when women feel like they need
to go to the bathroom, spread it out, you feel
the pressure in your bladder, but when men need to go,
they feel it in their.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
WILLI is that true?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yeah, I'd say it's like your actual willy. If you
get down by my knees, your.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Drags off the ground.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Oh I need to go, Sorry I had to Yeah, Look,
I do I feel it in that specific region? Where's
your bladder? Like? Can you just stand up?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
And point, well, it's just here bloods like you'll your
lower half of your abdomen.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
But my husband Ben said that, yeah, he's like.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Men can feel it in there, Willie, and that you
can squeeze it.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
And feel it like, I don't know way right now,
How can I just tell you before we go to
the break, we're going to take your calls next.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
But someone's just written in that, and this is I
hope you're still listening right now, because we do need
to correct you. Someone has just written in that. They
they said, I never know until my partner told me
that a seagull is a baby pelican.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Okay, well this is a figure.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Sorry, I need to correct you. If you're listening, a
seagull is not, in fact a baby pelican. This has
got to be a killer segment we're about to do.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Thanks to you, Maddie, Jay, You're welcome. Okay, just before,
we were talking about things you've only just realized as
an adult, which your partner has informed you about. I'm
not talking about Laura. This was another partner way back when,
when I was nineteen, I only realized that periods there
weren't actually one a week, they were once a month.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yeah, which seems like a pretty crazy thing to learn
at nineteen.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Thank you Britt for me.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
That's it. But it's those kind of things we wanted
to hear, those kind of things that, like you not
not just what did you learn like a new language,
it's what did you learn that you absolutely probably should
have known. We had some things coming on our pickup
line and somebody wrote, my husband thought that the umbilical
cord was just shoved back up in the body after delivery,
(09:37):
isn't it you.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Just cut the umbilical cord like three weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I'm not looking down.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
There, or did you shove it back up?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I wasn't watching.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
It's a mystery. I didn't ask questions here. We actually
have a caller. Meg, you're on the line. What did
you only recently find out?
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Oh my god, I didn't mag.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
This is a safe place. No judgment here.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
It's safe place. But it's national radio, so you.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
Do that judging myself. So I grew up right. It
was just me and my mom and we would make
Caesar salad, and whenever we made it, she would bring
out this box. It was a box from the supermarket
that had croutons in it, and I was like cool, great,
And that's just how it always came. It always came
(10:22):
in this box. And anyway, I moved out when I
was young and I was at UNI and my husband,
well he was my boyfriend at the time, was like, hey,
let's make ceesar salad. And I was like, oh, we can't.
We don't have croutons. He's like, well, yeah, we've got bread.
I had no idea, none whatsoever. The croutons were made
(10:42):
from bread.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Hang on, they were They're just separate right on?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Are you just having this realization too, mad? Oh what, no,
you are not you.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Plutons are not coming from the bread the bread factory.
They had their own factory, right mag No.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
Yeah, I didn't even know that they were part of
bread though.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
I don't know what the thought they were.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
My partner's just making them from bread, and I'm like,
what is happening? Did you hate watching him fry this bread?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
They're frying the bread bread and it was a crew time.
My mind is blow and.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
He's cutting it in tiny pieces and he's like see
and I'm like, it's bread.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I know what I'm doing. Sooner like at homemade, Thank you,
so much. We have Nicole on the line. Nicole, what
have you just learned recently?
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Well, it wasn't too recent, but I have learned that
thunder is the sound of lightning and not clouds bagging
together hanging a second, So.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
No, we're not laughing. It's a safe place.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
So you thought that it was two clouds running into
each other.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
That's what I was told as a child, and nobody
thought to circle back and tell me the truth. So
I carry that into my mid twenties.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Oh, he said, do you know what it is now?
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Well, yes, my husband, who was my then boyfriend, told
me when we heard thunder and he was like, oh wow,
that lightning was close. And I was like, what do
you mean? And yeah, we went down that you went
down the track. It was the point that I even
googled it, like I didn't believe it. I was like,
you're so filly.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Oh no, I think I've learned more this afternoon than
my entire school life.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
You know what, you know what came through a few
times on the text line. Guys, hopefully you know this, Matt.
Quite a few people didn't know that you have to
take the lint out of a dryer. You know you
usually dry you've got to change the limb filter. I
did know that because there's like a fire hazard. Sure, yeah,
there are people listening right now that are like, what
is a lint filter in my dryer?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I can guarantee you that is just a time bomber,
a fire waiting to happen.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Absolutely all right, We'll keep them coming in. We love
to hear them. Hey, that is us done.
