Our Windows Done, my world risen the dust only good
fabzug all round. I don't much, but yeah, I know
I'll big get and what I want.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
It don't matter where.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
This is the picker.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Happy Monday, everybody. I hope you all had a brilliant weekend.
I had this moment of spiral.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I know we only just got over Halloween, Matt, Christmas
is seven weeks away.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
What does that do to you?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I not even started any shopping and I don't even
know where the Christmas tree is.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Should be. Surely somewhere at the house.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
It's somewhere, It's somewhere, I don't know where.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Are you like an early, very organized Christmas present shopper.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Or are you like race to the finish line?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Everything that I do in life is left to the
very last minute.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Everything I'm always late.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I need to have the anxiety pumping through my body
of knowing that I'm about to miss a deadline for
me to actually get up off my barm and start
doing it.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
I'm a last minute I order something, I don't even
go to the shops.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Everything's online and I like to like test myself or
is it going to make it in time?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I don't know why I do that, the adrenaline. What
can I get my husband as a man's he sort
of is one of those people that like buys what
he wants for himself. But maybe it can't come to
you right now. Maybe you can think overnight and tell
me tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Can you get him like something sentimental, like a collage
of things that you and him do together, like sand
on the beach that you guys had an amazing holiday.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
App just go back to the Maldives to collect sand. Now,
we'll just get it.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I've had this from the Maldives for two years.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I mean, he doesn't listen to the show. He's obviously.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
I think it's illegal. You can't import it. I don't
want border security coming.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
For me anyway. Okay, thinking.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Maddy Jay in the hot seat, still, I say, still,
you're not going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
How was your Halloween?
Speaker 2 (02:11):
It was great?
Speaker 4 (02:12):
It was good. You know, Britt, I love Halloween. You
know that about me?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I do.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
We did do the Ultimate Halloween Quiz last week and you.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Did pretty well.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I did pretty well. But when people talk to you
and they say, what's maddij like, do you just say
he loves Halloween.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
It's your whole identity, Like, I can't think anything outside
of that.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I just think it's one of the best calendar events
for kids.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Especially. The kids love it.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I think it's easy.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
I think you like it.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
You love to dress up in your spare time anyway,
when it's not Halloween.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I have about fourteen outfits of my costume box, and
it's just nice to have options.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
But I think the kids really get excited.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Obviously, Christmas is a great event, but I think Halloween's
better because they get involved. It's a bit more of
a shared experience because you're going out in public with
the neighbors, whereas Christmas it's a bit insular. Do you
know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Okay, I'm hanging on by a three.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Okay, you're with me, follow along. But it was a
big deal. I think it's getting bigger and bigger every year.
Like the streets that kids went down, it was just
every household. They were involved. And you know, you can
go up to any door, knock on it, and you
get a special treat. Right, the kids are obsessed.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Well, hang on, Sodintrup, your story. Tell me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I learned something about Halloween this year that like, you
don't go up to the doors anymore, but they're supposed
to meet you, Like somebody stands at the driveway and
hands out lollyes so that kids don't actually have to
go to doors.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I would say the majority of houses all have the
adults standing like streets side. They don't want kids coming
up too close knocking on the door. Yeah, and it's
so busy. It's that window of like round about five o'clock,
everyone's out there. The streets are packed, man, And you
get really good treats. You know, you're getting like full
sized mass bars, you're getting twigs, you're getting gummies.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
That must be expensive because if you're buying what like
a hundred twixes.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Yeah, it's not cheap that a couple hundred bucks on
just twixes.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I always think of those people as well, who go
into a street they don't know that it's one of
those streets that get really into Halloween. And I thought
maybe this dad was one of those people, like he's
not really up to speed with what's appropriate for Halloween
or not. But Lola went up to him, she had
her bucket, and he gave her a treat, and he
(04:21):
seemed like he was pretty impressed with what he was giving.
It wasn't a full sized chocolate bar, but Lola got it.
She was none the wiser. And it was only until
the next morning we found something in her bucket from
this dad that Laura and I were like, well, we
better take that. It's not suitable for a four year old.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
It was a machete.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
It wasn't I'd allow that, but I don't know if you,
as a child, Britt ever had warheads?
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Are they the sour patch?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
This is the colossal.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Sour tru me?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Okay? Is this the one that like dissolves? Oh my god,
I just got the back of my mouth. You know
when your saliva glands.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Like pumping their pulsating.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I am thinking about it and it's pulsating. You shouldn't
be giving well, like super colossal sour.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Like that's colossal rang sound and it's a warhead.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Don't give that to a four year old. Come on.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Maybe maybe the plot twist here is that he doesn't
actually like Halloween or kids.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
It was hurt intended there.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Well, she's four. This is should I try it?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
You can?
Speaker 4 (05:24):
You can try that. Put that in your guard.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
I have not had this since I was about ten,
which is ten years ago.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Just a reminder. That is colossal strength warhead.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Do you want half?
Speaker 4 (05:33):
I mean sure, Okay, okay, imagine.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
It's as bad as we remember.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Imagine Paul Lola putting this warhead in her mouth.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Okay, my mouth the morning after tuet spite delicious.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
H No, I actually am into it. Oh my god,
that is nowhere near as bad as I remember.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Oh I lie that that's picturematic man. Okay, Well, Matt's gone,
so I guess I'm just going to finish this myself.
Anyone playing at home, I don't reckon that's too bad.
If you want to give you a five year old
a warhead, go for it.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
If anything, maybe to put more flallies. Maybe he's going
to make them sugar free.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Matt, I love hearing about conspiracy theory. Yeah, and you
know why my husband Ben he loves a conspiracy theory.
I didn't know this about Benee well, I didn't at
the start, and he let it out a little bit
too late.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
But he's constantly throwing them at me.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
But somebody else that has just thrown another big conspiracy
theory out.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
To the world.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
And I say the world is because it's Kim Kardashian. Now,
Kim has I don't know, close to four hundred million followers.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
So she's a smart girl.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
She's a smart girl. She's a lawyer. Now I think
she passed the bar.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
But when she puts something out on her Instagram, the
world listens.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
People listen. I'm listening right now.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
NASA even listened. So have her listened to Kim's theory
about the moon landing.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
I'm sending you, like so far a million articles interviews
with both buzz Aldrin and yes, the other one do it?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
The other cross what was the scariest moment? And he goes,
there was.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
No scary moment because it didn't happen.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
It could have been scary, but.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
It wasn't because it didn't happen.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
So he's gotten old and now you're like slurring d Yeah,
so I think it didn't happen.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
I'm going to go on a massive deep light Okay,
I'm going to go on a serious deep dive.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
So that was Sarah Paulson that she's talking to she
was an actress. They were just in all sphere together,
this new TV show, But I think Sarah was probably
just appeasing her a little bit.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
They're like, Okay, I'm going to go on a deep dive.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
I'm on Kimmy Kay's side. Here.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Do you think the moon landing?
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Oh look, people are going to come for me and
think that I'm crazy.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
But I don't know if it's the fact that I'm
getting a little bit old now when I think when
you get past thirty five, you start then questioning everything.
And I have at times been on a vortex on
YouTube and I've watched footage of the moon landing and
I'm like, come on, this looks so bad. It's like
it's like when you watch an old movie and the
(08:01):
cgi is so terrible that you're like, this is embarrassing
right now.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
But I think that's because it was back in like
nineteen six or something like the first time.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Don't you think it's weird.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
That don't you think that, like the footage is going
to be.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Bad, but like it's crazy to think.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Britt, listen to me first of all before you get
into it. I do want to say that NASA did listen,
and NASA responded, before I hear your response, believe.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
It or not, I'd like to.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
So, NASA said in a tweet directed to Kim of them, stained,
I know so modern.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
It's almost like they've been to the moon or something.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
They said, Yes, Kim Kardashian, we have been to the
Moon before six times. Kim Kardashian still thinks it's fake,
even though NASA has responded. But now, Matt, please let
us know why you think it didn't happen.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Okay, Well, when I watch the footage back and you
see the flag, the American flag, it is moving. But
the issue is there is no wind on the Moon.
So how is the wind blowing this flag? How does
that work?
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Okay, I actually have an answer for that.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
So when the flag is put in it, it is
actually only moving at one point, and that is when
the astronaut is twisting it in and actually putting it
into the surface. So it's moving because the pole is moving.
And then the flag stays rippled because there's no wind
in there to smooth it out. So it's because of gravity.
So like once it's swiveled, however it landed, is how
(09:23):
it gets stuck.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
So that's like, that's debunking that.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Okay, what about this point number two in the footage?
There were no stars in the footage, but what do
I have in space?
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Stars? Where are they all?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Okay, it's in a studio. That's why I did think you.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Were going to say this as well. So I have
dug deep I found this out.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
It's because the cameras and the exposures that they needed
to use were on like a.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Bright daylight exposure.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
So it's the same way that you can take a
photo here now on Earth and not see the stars.
The stars are there, but you just don't see them
in the car. Yeah, Producer Grace is nodding, she knows
that that's.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
A good one.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
I'll have to trial that tonight.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
But my last point, think about this, the right, brothers,
the first flight in human history nineteen oh three.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
In sixty years, how are.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
We going for my first flight on Earth to then
landing on the moon. The technology just wasn't there. Boom,
mic drop.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
You know what I want to say to that? Oh God,
because I agree with this.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Okay, Yes, So Apollo seventeen was the very last time
we landed on the Moon, which is in nineteen seventy two.
Why if technology is that great, have we not been
back since nineteen seventy two?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
That's that's my question.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
We should be doing like daily trips to the moon,
totally just stuck up for lunch, right, yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Why are we not having lunch in the moon.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
And dancing with the stars should be on the moon.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
It should be on the moon. NASA respond to that one,
would you?
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Oh, look, I think it happened, but it is questionable
as to like, cool, you had this technology back in
the seventies, Why the hell aren't we there now? That's
what If NASA could respond to us at the pickup,
that would be one.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
But also, whilst we're on the topic, is the Earth
actually round?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Oh my god, let's go is it?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Will you just think about it, Britt?
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Okay, Yeah, after the break, we're gonna find out.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Britt. It is exciting to be here today because I've
got some big news.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Sit down, Okay, you've just had a baby, you're married.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
They're ready for this, even bigger than having poppy. Okay.
This is the Dictionary.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Dot Com Word of the Year twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I have I hate this time of year and I
feel like it's come early, has it?
Speaker 4 (11:30):
This is like the lead up to Christmas?
Speaker 3 (11:32):
What if a bigger word comes over the next seven weeks?
This is early to cool word of the year.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Okay, Look, just for people listening right now, every dictionary
out there, they're very territorial. I wonder if they ever
like bump into each other on the street and have fights.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Is it not hang on before you unpack that? Is
it not unusual that we have so many dictionaries? Shouldn't
we just have one?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Well, that is a whole nother story.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Well, looking at last year twenty twenty four, dictionary dot com,
their word of the year was demure.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Great, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Oxford, Like they've got to be top of the food
chain in terms of dictionaries.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Their word of the year was brain rot.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Well, firstly, Oxford, that's two words.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
I can't read. The next one by Macquarie.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I can And shittification excuse you, Brittany, yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:11):
And certification I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Has anyone in this room, there's seven of us, has
anyone heard somebody used the word and certification?
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Can you stop swearing, please?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Britt genuinely, like I've never heard it?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
People like it's three o'clock. There's no need for that.
I've never used it. But Colins this is more my
type of word. Colin's Dictionary their word of the Year
twenty twenty four was brat.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
That's been underwhelming a little bit.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
But are you ready for the word twenty twenty five?
It is?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Get ready for it? It's six seven. No, it'sven.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
It absolutely can't be. That's the number.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Well, yeah, maybe dictionary dot com they're like the youth.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
They're like the website.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Oxford's like the old fuddy duddy, like paper hardback. But
dictionary dot com they have announced six to seven as
a word of the year.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
And if you're not sure what.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
It means, no one knows what it means.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I'm going to read this. I still don't quite understand
what it is. But the term captures of via jen
al for slang. I feel so old even reading that.
But it's baffled adults, and it's fueled TikTok trends and
reflected real world impact of Internet meme culture.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
User innocent and you're a TikTok Oh, God, you keep
up with the kids.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Okay, Well, I feel like our video editor is he knows.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
How to use it's maybe this or maybe that, usually
paired with like hand moving like motion.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
So would it be like, hey, how is the party
on the weekend, and you'd be like, I'm six seven.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I think so that was pretty good, right, I think? So?
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Oh my god, are the kids listening right now? Agreeing
or not? I can't tell.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I think that's how you'd use it, right, Sorry, I'm
just jumping in here.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Is it like if you ask someone what something is
on a scale of one to ten, it's kind of average,
So like six seven six I cracked it.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I don't think that is Oh my gosh, Thank goodness,
Grace is here. Don't shine some light on this confusing
word of the year.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
So I'm going to ask jep hang On I am
typing it in. Can you tell me an example of
how to use six seven? Sure, you mean the viral
slang terminology six seven. She's a ten, but he's a
six seven? So is that what it means?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
It's like, I don't get it. What about it?
Speaker 4 (14:15):
They're like, hey, how is dinner? And You're like, it
was six seven?
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Yeah, that's why I said, on the weekend, how's the party?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
It's six seven seven? We get it.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
We're young, we're hip, We're down with the youth of
this country.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Ahi, guys, dude, I'm sorry if we cannot google it
and we cannot chat jip.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Do it and ai it and we still don't understand
what it is. This can't be the word of the year.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
I'll find a kid once we finished radio and I'll
just be like, hello, my six sevens, and I'll see
how they responded and see if we're on the money
or not.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
This is insane. I think we need to write to
who was it dictionary time?
Speaker 4 (14:51):
I get it now, I get it. It's like this break.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I guess break is a six.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
This chat is so six seven?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Yeah, you brought it.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Yeah, well that's what I mean. It's like fully six
seven hand motions.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
All right, Well tomorrow I'm going to be a nine
times right.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Oh my god, I'm let's wrap up.
