Speaker 1 (00:10):
My heart podcasts, hear more Kiss podcast playlist and listen
live on the Free iHeart app a good pickup with
Britt Hockley and Laura bed Bady.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Your work, our windows down. That's my worldris in the dust.
Only good fabs are all down. I've done much, but yeah,
I know I'll beg get and what I want. It
don't matter where goes. This is the pickup.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Happy Tuesday afternoon. Everybody, It's the pick up with Britt
Hockey and.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Laura Bird everyone except me. Laura, what's happened now? Well,
this has never happened to me before. I don't shop, Okay,
I'm just gonna say it.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I live alone. I get food deliveries. Yeah, I don't
go to the grocery store. I get food deliveries every week.
It comes on a Sunday or Monday, and then I'm
set for the week. I have been doing this for
years and this has never happened before. But this week
my food delivery was stolen. There is a thief amongst us.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Was it stolen from within your apartment complex or was
it left out the front?
Speaker 3 (01:14):
This is where it gets tricky, so they send you
photos of where they left it.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
So like here it is, it's been delivered.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
They send a photo, so it's like I have a
gated apartment building and they left it on top of
the gated buildings. So it's like semi street but semi apartment.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
But they always leave it there. Yeah they can't. I
mean it's gator. They can't just like turf your Molly's
spoon over the fence. So they could have do they
put it? I don't know. I don't know where it went.
It's never happened.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
But I feel like it's payback for that one time
that I accidentally stole somebody else's with not knowing that
it was someone else's.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Like it got delivered to.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
My apartment, I thought it was mine. Didn't read the name,
was taking it for week?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Did you not open up the bags of I did
delivery and think this is not what I ordered.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yes, Instead of looking at the name, I just thought
they made a mistake.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I was like, oh, they threw in some extra mules
because they they were ordering extra mules.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I have done the exact same thing. This was actually
not that long ago. There was a delivery.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
It was my neighbor's, well actually two houses up. It
wasn't even the direct neighbor, but it was put in
front of our house, and I just thought it had.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Been I thought someone had send it to me for free.
I was like, didn't you don't even order it. I
don't even get hello friends. I was like, I work
in radio. Maybe it's just a generous gift.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
I took it inside, I opened it up, and I
made a meal and then it wasn't until the next
day that I was like, that was not ours. It
just dawned on me that maybe it was honestly thought
as a PR.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Gift one off box of meals as a PR gift.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I've never admitted it because I was like, my neighbor
will listen to this and they will know that I'm
the reason that that went missing.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
What you know them send them a new bree Your
Marley'spoon was delicious, though I did eat that too, Snapjacks,
you're the one that stealing. I tell you what, Laura.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
It is a dog eat dog world out there in
the dating community, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I mean you wouldn't know you've been married for seven years.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Yeah, but prior to that, I dated everyone, so I
had a good LITMS don't worry.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I mean, I also just did get married.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
I am off the market, but I have a bunch
of single friends that are constantly like talking to me
about what the online dating world is like, and it
is really hard, and I have bad news.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
It's getting harder.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Do you think it's getting harder or do you think
it's just always been like ever since online dating has come,
because you've just got the opportunity of choice. There's so
many people, it's kind of like gamified online dating.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Well, I think it's getting harder because if you think
about when online dating started, it was just like signed
up and had at it like men.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Women went on, you put your age on and.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Basically that was it. But it's gotten there's so many layers.
That's gotten so complicated. And now Tinder has released well
it's a trial. They're trialing a new feature that is
not good news for our short kings.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
You can basically filter now for height.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
So if you say I only want a tall guy,
which you know most women say I only want a
tall guy, it filters them out and then our short
kings are not even given a chance. It is causing
a lot of stir online because there are a lot
of people that are all for this feature, Like I
guess a lot of women that know that they only
want a tall.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Guy, they're all for it.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
But there's a lot of people that are saying is
actually discrimination, Like you are filtering out on the way
that I look physically like my physical appearance, and I
have to say I'm on their side. I don't think
we should be having a high filter for online dating.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
It's a weird one, isn't it, because it really kind
of comes into.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
This gray area.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
It's like having a bold filter, or it's like having
a weight filter, a weight filter. The only thing though,
is if you are a woman and you are particularly tall,
like a really really tall girl, or you were a
guy and you're a particularly short guy, maybe it just
removes some of the admin because I would dare say
that normally, I don't know that this is a stereotype.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I don't want to get myself into trouble.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
But often really tall girls and really short guys don't
seem to be a perfect match. It seems as though
like that would probably be the only time that it
would come in handy.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah, But then maybe I mean not, Maybe you don't
have to have a filter for that people can put
their height on their bio themselves.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Then doing it anyway, So then what's the difference, because
you're still given the choice.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Like zac Efron hot megababe, he's tiny, but people would
be yeah, I'm taller than zach Efron' he's like tall
man energy he does, he's got b D energy. But
my point is, like I do think, and in the
words of producer Grace, you're robbing yourself of love, like
you're robbing.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yourself with the potential.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
I've dated people that are shorter than me. They've been
fantastic people. Did it work out? No, but it wasn't
because of their height. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Look, I mean I know we made jokes. I've my
one of my ex boyfriends was quite a bit shorter
than me and it never made a difference. But I
do think that if I had had the height restriction
on Tinder, firstly, I would never have met him, but
also I think I probably would have used it, and
so I would have ruled him out because I don't
know I am. I guess I'm relatively tall for a girl.
What am I like one hundred and seventy seven centimeters, Yeah,
(05:55):
which I would say that in dating. When I was
online dating, I definitely rocked up to a couple of
dates where my dates were particularly short and I knew
we both kind of met each other and were like, Wow.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Should have talked about it. I wish I wish we'd asked,
you know.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And it's not like it should be a big deal,
but I think it is for a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I think that a lot of people care about height.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Yeah, but then why can't we just ask have those conversations,
talk to someone, put it in your bio. I think
the fact that we can now filter out people based
on appearance for me is yucky.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I don't like it.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
And a lot of the short king men or other
people are now sort of like firing back, saying cool
if you want to filter from that, how do you
feel if we put a weight.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Filter on which which is all a bit silly, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
No one's a bit tipped for tab But I understand
what they're saying from that, Like I understand that they're
offended that people can filter them out based on their
physical appearance that they can't change.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Yeah, And I guess the only thing is is like
if someone's borderline, like if someone is tall borderline to
your preference, you know, like they might be a little
bit shorter than.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
What you think you want in a person, but they're
amazing in every other capacity.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Like that seems a bit silly to rule someone out
because you've got a bit of a high preference.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
You know whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
On beggars can't be chooses too, if you're looking for
for love, don't sing all those men out.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Zenda didn't.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
And she's engaged to Tom Holland and then a beautiful couple,
very happy.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Thank you so much for that for it. That's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Now. I mean, I'm sure some of you know if
you listen to the show, but it might be used
to anyone who's new. I am currently pregnant with my
third baby, and let me tell you, third pregnancy is
a whole different kettle of fish to the first one
and the second one.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Just like doesn't even touch the sides really for you,
doesn't it?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Well that yeah, the baby's just gonna shoot straight out,
isn't even gonna have any resistance.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
No, I no, I didn't mean. I didn't mean you're
loose when you said it. No, I meant like, doesn't
touch the side, put your legs in steer it to
shoot it out. I meantag in like it HiT's different,
Like again, that could be taking the wrong way. It
is going to touch the sides on the way out.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I mean it, it's different, like you're less involved in,
Like you're like it'll come in nine months because.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
You've done it twice and you're busy. Yeah, look, I
love that. You were like, no, I still will touch you.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
But I was like, one can only hope that it
does still touch the size as it comes out.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
But anyway, look, it is very different.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
And I say this because I feel like this pregnancy
has just completely gotten away from me. And sometimes I
feel pretty good since I've gotten my reflux under control.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
That I often actually just forget that I'm pregnant.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
I forget you're pregnant, Yeah, until I get Britt was
talking about just how we should do this morning. She
was like, Oh, we should really do this, Like we
should do a big party at the end of the year,
like a show party, and we'll invite all our listeners.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
And we can do it on a boat.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
And I was like, I'll have a six week old baby.
But she sounds good, and I'm like, what completely blanked that?
I was having a kid. But anyway, look, every so
often I get a reminder like I'll get a massive
thump to the uterus because I'll get a big, solid kick,
and I'm I'm well passed halfway now.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I think I'm about twenty five weeks and I just the.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Other day discovered that I've hit a part of pregnancy
or a new stage that I never got to in
my first or second and it was incredibly humbling. So
we were all in the office having a little dance.
We were filming some content, and part of that was
that we had to, like, you know, really kind of
get into this dance that we were doing.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
And I did.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I was really challenged, my nineteen year old self being
at the nightclubs. And I dropped it like it's hot,
and I did a liberated woman.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Drop, I'll live my best life drop, and I got
to the bottom of that drop. I got low and
I got low. I got low, I got low, and
then I pissed my pants at the bottom bottom jeans.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
It was I didn't and I'm not just talking about
tiny bit of bladder leakage. I got to the bottom
of that drop and I fully wet myself well maybe
it won't coutch. The scientists just got to shoot right,
and there was something incredibly I don't even want to
say humblings. I know I've said that, but it was
just humiliating having to stop and be.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Like, sorry, everybody, I have to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
And now the problem is is like I don't know
whether I did damage or whether I've just set things off,
or this kid is just on my bladder in a
way that it shouldn't.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
I don't think you did damage in your liberated woman
drop because it's just it's part and parcel right third pregnancy.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Potentially, but it had never happened prior.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
And now if I coughed too hard, if I sneeze
too hard, yeah, it's just it's become part of my
everyday staple.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Alone, Laura, there are some pretty high statistics on women
that having continents. It's I don't want you to be embarrassed.
We all pretended it didn't happen. We all turned a
blind eye.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
And I even spilt my water bottle to try and cover,
and someone mopped up the puddle. So and someone said
what is this? And I said, sorry, clumsy me Again,
I spilled it's my lime cordial juice. Apologies.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
You know why I think I forget you're pregnant is
because on the rare occasions I do remember, I try
and feel it moving.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
You're like, oh, it's so movie.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Every time I go and try and touch it, it
just freezes, like it doesn't want to move for me,
I think it knows.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
It's because you're very aggressive anytime you come over.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
So like just before this, literally just before we started
the show, I was like, oh.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
The baby's kicking. Heaps come and feel and Brick came
over and she didn't.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Stick her hand on my bel She gave me an
alf a caut You just don't.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
You don't rest your hand, you like really get in there.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
And they had to sort of poke it to make
it move. Do you know I'm still trying to like.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Feel it out.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
And then Britt says, oh, don't worry, I have a
technique to get it to move. She lifts up my
shirt and gives me a raspberry on my stomach.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I'm a full grown woman having my third.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Baby, and I don't think I've had a raspberry in.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
A whole lot.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Fifteen years, No, fifteen years twenty five years, A long time,
you're well, long time, you're welcome. It is I enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
It is a trick that you are supposed to do
like it must be like the vibrations or something like
when you do a raspberry it makes it tickle or something.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I don't believe that for a while. Second, I don't believe.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
That giving someone a raspberry makes a baby move in
their belly.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Here we go. No, actually, I stand corrected.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
No, blowing raspberries and a pregnant belly is unlikely to
do anything.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
But there you go.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Well I just treated you to a little little raspberry
for your for your Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Well, I stand corrected. I've been raspberry and a lot
of pregnant women. I hope you enjoyed it as much
as I did. You live and you learn it. I'm
mind blown, mind blown.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Oh god, Laura, I'm laughing thinking about this. So I
took my new husband Ben to New Zealand on the weekend.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Very lucky, New Zealand is so close.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Two and a half hours bang there we went to
Queenstown and now Ben was quite excited about this because
he was made aware that there aren't any like dangerous
animals there because he's his Swiss.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
He's very scared of animals. Here snakes. She totally.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I was about to say, I've never met anyone who
is as afraid of spiders.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
As Ben is. Like he sends brit inside to check
their house first before he goes there.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Every night, I have to screen the house. He has
to watch me look in the wardrobes, under the pillows.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Of the bed. It's it's it's cute whatever.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
So we go to New Zealand and this this that
finds really interesting. So Ben is a professional footballer like soccer,
and in their contracts they have something that I call
the fun clause. It is a clause that basically I say,
doesn't allow fun. You can't do anything that could remotely
(12:57):
end in an injury or danger or I'm talking things
like mountain bike riding, skiing, snowboarding.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
We can't go bungee jumping like anything. When you say
mountain bike riding.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Though, we were talking about it just before you guys
went away, and I was like, oh, you should get
like the e bikes and go around the lake in Wanaka.
You go like five daughters and now like I did
it with the kids, and he was like, no, I
can't do that. It's too dangerous.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Might hurt myself. Yeah, And I was like, so what
can you do?
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Well?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Right? So New Zealand, if you guys know, it's like
the adventure Capital. There's so much to do there.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
And I thought, okay, I have to come up with
an itinery for him that is fun but no danger.
So I surched heigh and low, and I came up
with what I thought was the perfect idea. We went
to it's called Deer Park. We went to a park
that has deers in it. Now I know that doesn't
sound very fun cue but majestic. I read that you
could feed them, and I was like, you know what
(13:48):
has beautiful views. We're going to go and feed the deer.
We're going to feed some piglets. And there's like farm
animals around and what you do is you drive around
and you get out whenever you see the animals because
it's just a free range park farm, and.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Then you just feed them. So we're feeding some little piglets,
super cute.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Then we continued up and there's the most beautiful deer right.
So we're feeding the deer and they'll eat out of
your hand. It's actually truly incredible. We were having a
lot of fun, like I was nailing it. Then we
go further up the hel and there was a sign
that said like if you see horned goats, don't.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Get out of your car.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
It actually said don't even stop your car right horned goats.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Run over them. So I was like, that's interesting.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Anyway, we see a pack of goats and I look
and there's no horns, so I was like cute.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
So we get out of the car and I was like, Kurie,
let's feed them. Anyway, these goats were savage.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Out of nowhere, I had video go on to my
Instagram to have a look out of nowhere, about fifty
goats started to attack us. Basically like I was running
for my life. I had to abort my phone because
I thought I was gonna die by these goats. They're
so savage. I think they're really dumb.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Then they chased us down. They did.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
They chase us down the hill anyway. You can hear
bending in the background on my footage being like run.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Baby, run anyways, I'm running. We make it back in
the car and they jump on the car. I'm not kidding.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
It was similar to being in a game park in
South Africa and the lions are trying to get in.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Like that's what I thought. I don't know if they're dumb.
I don't know if that they go to dumb.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
We've been to like we've been to a national park before.
It's called Simbia National Park. Took the kids and there's
a goat enclosure and Lola was only about three years
old and she got pounced by like three goats at once,
and the poor thing was under the goats to pull
the baby out, We're like, oh god, But they just
get very enthusiastic about food. They're very food motivated animals.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Yeah, and that's why you can't go around the horned goats. Anyways,
I got horned.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Basically, oh wait, so the goats.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Wait, you got out of the car, but you didn't
establish that they had horns.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
You said there was no horns on.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
The fifty horned goats were hiding. It's like they planned
the attack. It was like a chemic card.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
It was a militia attack of the horn go way
we get the car with we actually could stop laughing.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Ben's like, I thought this was supposed to be not
dangerous thing, Like he's like I imagine if I went
back to my football Colum said, sorry, like I can't
play football and attacked by a goat.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I got impaled by a goat. Are they in New Zealand?
Are they dumb? Grace? They're actually very intelligent, thank you.
See they know how to get the food. I guess
they were hiding and pounced on me. Is this anything else?
Is idea? It was that a full sentence.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Some research suggests that goats are as intelligent as dogs.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
No way, I believe it. I believe it. Smart little things.
They're also very cute when they're babies. Sometimes I find
myself down a TikTok rabbit hole just watching not.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Raby goats, baby goats, and you know what, I'm gonna
put a video on.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
I've got they do these little jumps, the baby ones.
They're really cute. I've got a video, so that made
up for it.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Anyway, if you go to New Zealand, believe it or not,
I do recommend it.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
It was really fun. Just don't get out around the
horned goats.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
That's the PSA from Brittany on anyway, guys, that's it

my food delivery was stolen. There is a thief amongst us.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Was it stolen from within your apartment complex or was
it left out the front?
Speaker 3 (01:14):
This is where it gets tricky, so they send you
photos of where they left it.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
So like here it is, it's been delivered.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
They send a photo, so it's like I have a
gated apartment building and they left it on top of

Speaker 2 (01:31):
But they always leave it there. Yeah they can't. I
mean it's gator. They can't just like turf your Molly's
spoon over the fence. So they could have do they
put it? I don't know. I don't know where it went.
It's never happened.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
But I feel like it's payback for that one time
that I accidentally stole somebody else's with not knowing that
it was someone else's.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Like it got delivered to.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
My apartment, I thought it was mine. Didn't read the name,
was taking it for week?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Did you not open up the bags of I did
delivery and think this is not what I ordered.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yes, Instead of looking at the name, I just thought
they made a mistake.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I was like, oh, they threw in some extra mules
because they they were ordering extra mules.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I have done the exact same thing. This was actually
not that long ago. There was a delivery.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
It was my neighbor's, well actually two houses up. It
wasn't even the direct neighbor, but it was put in
front of our house, and I just thought it had.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Been I thought someone had send it to me for free.
I was like, didn't you don't even order it. I
don't even get hello friends. I was like, I work
in radio. Maybe it's just a generous gift.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
I took it inside, I opened it up, and I
made a meal and then it wasn't until the next
day that I was like, that was not ours. It
just dawned on me that maybe it was honestly thought
as a PR.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Gift one off box of meals as a PR gift.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I've never admitted it because I was like, my neighbor
will listen to this and they will know that I'm
the reason that that went missing.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
What you know them send them a new bree Your
Marley'spoon was delicious, though I did eat that too, Snapjacks,
you're the one that stealing. I tell you what, Laura.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
It is a dog eat dog world out there in
the dating community, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I mean you wouldn't know you've been married for seven years.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Yeah, but prior to that, I dated everyone, so I
had a good LITMS don't worry.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I mean, I also just did get married.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
I am off the market, but I have a bunch
of single friends that are constantly like talking to me
about what the online dating world is like, and it
is really hard, and I have bad news.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
It's getting harder.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Do you think it's getting harder or do you think
it's just always been like ever since online dating has come,
because you've just got the opportunity of choice. There's so
many people, it's kind of like gamified online dating.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Well, I think it's getting harder because if you think
about when online dating started, it was just like signed
up and had at it like men.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Women went on, you put your age on and.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Basically that was it. But it's gotten there's so many layers.
That's gotten so complicated. And now Tinder has released well
it's a trial. They're trialing a new feature that is
not good news for our short kings.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
You can basically filter now for height.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
So if you say I only want a tall guy,
which you know most women say I only want a
tall guy, it filters them out and then our short
kings are not even given a chance. It is causing
a lot of stir online because there are a lot
of people that are all for this feature, Like I
guess a lot of women that know that they only
want a tall.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Guy, they're all for it.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
But there's a lot of people that are saying is
actually discrimination, Like you are filtering out on the way
that I look physically like my physical appearance, and I
have to say I'm on their side. I don't think
we should be having a high filter for online dating.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
It's a weird one, isn't it, because it really kind
of comes into.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
This gray area.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
It's like having a bold filter, or it's like having
a weight filter, a weight filter. The only thing though,
is if you are a woman and you are particularly tall,
like a really really tall girl, or you were a
guy and you're a particularly short guy, maybe it just
removes some of the admin because I would dare say
that normally, I don't know that this is a stereotype.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I don't want to get myself into trouble.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
But often really tall girls and really short guys don't
seem to be a perfect match. It seems as though
like that would probably be the only time that it
would come in handy.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah, But then maybe I mean not, Maybe you don't
have to have a filter for that people can put
their height on their bio themselves.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Then doing it anyway, So then what's the difference, because
you're still given the choice.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Like zac Efron hot megababe, he's tiny, but people would
be yeah, I'm taller than zach Efron' he's like tall
man energy he does, he's got b D energy. But
my point is, like I do think, and in the
words of producer Grace, you're robbing yourself of love, like
you're robbing.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yourself with the potential.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
I've dated people that are shorter than me. They've been
fantastic people. Did it work out? No, but it wasn't
because of their height. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Look, I mean I know we made jokes. I've my
one of my ex boyfriends was quite a bit shorter
than me and it never made a difference. But I
do think that if I had had the height restriction
on Tinder, firstly, I would never have met him, but
also I think I probably would have used it, and
so I would have ruled him out because I don't
know I am. I guess I'm relatively tall for a girl.
What am I like one hundred and seventy seven centimeters, Yeah,
(05:55):
which I would say that in dating. When I was
online dating, I definitely rocked up to a couple of
dates where my dates were particularly short and I knew
we both kind of met each other and were like, Wow.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Should have talked about it. I wish I wish we'd asked,
you know.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And it's not like it should be a big deal,
but I think it is for a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I think that a lot of people care about height.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Yeah, but then why can't we just ask have those conversations,
talk to someone, put it in your bio. I think
the fact that we can now filter out people based
on appearance for me is yucky.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I don't like it.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
And a lot of the short king men or other
people are now sort of like firing back, saying cool
if you want to filter from that, how do you
feel if we put a weight.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Filter on which which is all a bit silly, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
No one's a bit tipped for tab But I understand
what they're saying from that, Like I understand that they're
offended that people can filter them out based on their
physical appearance that they can't change.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Yeah, And I guess the only thing is is like
if someone's borderline, like if someone is tall borderline to
your preference, you know, like they might be a little
bit shorter than.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
What you think you want in a person, but they're
amazing in every other capacity.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Like that seems a bit silly to rule someone out
because you've got a bit of a high preference.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
You know whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
On beggars can't be chooses too, if you're looking for
for love, don't sing all those men out.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Zenda didn't.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
And she's engaged to Tom Holland and then a beautiful couple,
very happy.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Thank you so much for that for it. That's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Now. I mean, I'm sure some of you know if
you listen to the show, but it might be used
to anyone who's new. I am currently pregnant with my
third baby, and let me tell you, third pregnancy is
a whole different kettle of fish to the first one
and the second one.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Just like doesn't even touch the sides really for you,
doesn't it?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Well that yeah, the baby's just gonna shoot straight out,
isn't even gonna have any resistance.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
No, I no, I didn't mean. I didn't mean you're
loose when you said it. No, I meant like, doesn't
touch the side, put your legs in steer it to
shoot it out. I meantag in like it HiT's different,
Like again, that could be taking the wrong way. It
is going to touch the sides on the way out.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I mean it, it's different, like you're less involved in,
Like you're like it'll come in nine months because.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
You've done it twice and you're busy. Yeah, look, I
love that. You were like, no, I still will touch you.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
But I was like, one can only hope that it
does still touch the size as it comes out.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
But anyway, look, it is very different.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
And I say this because I feel like this pregnancy
has just completely gotten away from me. And sometimes I
feel pretty good since I've gotten my reflux under control.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
That I often actually just forget that I'm pregnant.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
I forget you're pregnant, Yeah, until I get Britt was
talking about just how we should do this morning. She
was like, Oh, we should really do this, Like we
should do a big party at the end of the year,
like a show party, and we'll invite all our listeners.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
And we can do it on a boat.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
And I was like, I'll have a six week old baby.
But she sounds good, and I'm like, what completely blanked that?
I was having a kid. But anyway, look, every so
often I get a reminder like I'll get a massive
thump to the uterus because I'll get a big, solid kick,
and I'm I'm well passed halfway now.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I think I'm about twenty five weeks and I just the.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Other day discovered that I've hit a part of pregnancy
or a new stage that I never got to in
my first or second and it was incredibly humbling. So
we were all in the office having a little dance.
We were filming some content, and part of that was
that we had to, like, you know, really kind of
get into this dance that we were doing.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
And I did.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I was really challenged, my nineteen year old self being
at the nightclubs. And I dropped it like it's hot,
and I did a liberated woman.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Drop, I'll live my best life drop, and I got
to the bottom of that drop. I got low and
I got low. I got low, I got low, and
then I pissed my pants at the bottom bottom jeans.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
It was I didn't and I'm not just talking about
tiny bit of bladder leakage. I got to the bottom
of that drop and I fully wet myself well maybe
it won't coutch. The scientists just got to shoot right,
and there was something incredibly I don't even want to
say humblings. I know I've said that, but it was
just humiliating having to stop and be.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Like, sorry, everybody, I have to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
And now the problem is is like I don't know
whether I did damage or whether I've just set things off,
or this kid is just on my bladder in a
way that it shouldn't.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
I don't think you did damage in your liberated woman
drop because it's just it's part and parcel right third pregnancy.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Potentially, but it had never happened prior.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
And now if I coughed too hard, if I sneeze
too hard, yeah, it's just it's become part of my
everyday staple.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Alone, Laura, there are some pretty high statistics on women
that having continents. It's I don't want you to be embarrassed.
We all pretended it didn't happen. We all turned a
blind eye.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
And I even spilt my water bottle to try and cover,
and someone mopped up the puddle. So and someone said
what is this? And I said, sorry, clumsy me Again,
I spilled it's my lime cordial juice. Apologies.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
You know why I think I forget you're pregnant is
because on the rare occasions I do remember, I try
and feel it moving.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
You're like, oh, it's so movie.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Every time I go and try and touch it, it
just freezes, like it doesn't want to move for me,
I think it knows.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
It's because you're very aggressive anytime you come over.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
So like just before this, literally just before we started
the show, I was like, oh.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
The baby's kicking. Heaps come and feel and Brick came
over and she didn't.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Stick her hand on my bel She gave me an
alf a caut You just don't.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
You don't rest your hand, you like really get in there.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
And they had to sort of poke it to make
it move. Do you know I'm still trying to like.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Feel it out.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
And then Britt says, oh, don't worry, I have a
technique to get it to move. She lifts up my
shirt and gives me a raspberry on my stomach.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I'm a full grown woman having my third.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Baby, and I don't think I've had a raspberry in.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
A whole lot.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Fifteen years, No, fifteen years twenty five years, A long time,
you're well, long time, you're welcome. It is I enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
It is a trick that you are supposed to do
like it must be like the vibrations or something like
when you do a raspberry it makes it tickle or something.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I don't believe that for a while. Second, I don't believe.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
That giving someone a raspberry makes a baby move in
their belly.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Here we go. No, actually, I stand corrected.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
No, blowing raspberries and a pregnant belly is unlikely to
do anything.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
But there you go.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Well I just treated you to a little little raspberry
for your for your Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Well, I stand corrected. I've been raspberry and a lot
of pregnant women. I hope you enjoyed it as much
as I did. You live and you learn it. I'm
mind blown, mind blown.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Oh god, Laura, I'm laughing thinking about this. So I
took my new husband Ben to New Zealand on the weekend.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Very lucky, New Zealand is so close.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Two and a half hours bang there we went to
Queenstown and now Ben was quite excited about this because
he was made aware that there aren't any like dangerous
animals there because he's his Swiss.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
He's very scared of animals. Here snakes. She totally.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I was about to say, I've never met anyone who
is as afraid of spiders.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
As Ben is. Like he sends brit inside to check
their house first before he goes there.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Every night, I have to screen the house. He has
to watch me look in the wardrobes, under the pillows.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Of the bed. It's it's it's cute whatever.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
So we go to New Zealand and this this that
finds really interesting. So Ben is a professional footballer like soccer,
and in their contracts they have something that I call
the fun clause. It is a clause that basically I say,
doesn't allow fun. You can't do anything that could remotely
(12:57):
end in an injury or danger or I'm talking things
like mountain bike riding, skiing, snowboarding.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
We can't go bungee jumping like anything. When you say
mountain bike riding.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Though, we were talking about it just before you guys
went away, and I was like, oh, you should get
like the e bikes and go around the lake in Wanaka.
You go like five daughters and now like I did
it with the kids, and he was like, no, I
can't do that. It's too dangerous.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Might hurt myself. Yeah, And I was like, so what
can you do?
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Well?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Right? So New Zealand, if you guys know, it's like
the adventure Capital. There's so much to do there.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
And I thought, okay, I have to come up with
an itinery for him that is fun but no danger.
So I surched heigh and low, and I came up
with what I thought was the perfect idea. We went
to it's called Deer Park. We went to a park
that has deers in it. Now I know that doesn't
sound very fun cue but majestic. I read that you
could feed them, and I was like, you know what
(13:48):
has beautiful views. We're going to go and feed the deer.
We're going to feed some piglets. And there's like farm
animals around and what you do is you drive around
and you get out whenever you see the animals because
it's just a free range park farm, and.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Then you just feed them. So we're feeding some little piglets,
super cute.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Then we continued up and there's the most beautiful deer right.
So we're feeding the deer and they'll eat out of
your hand. It's actually truly incredible. We were having a
lot of fun, like I was nailing it. Then we
go further up the hel and there was a sign
that said like if you see horned goats, don't.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Get out of your car.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
It actually said don't even stop your car right horned goats.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Run over them. So I was like, that's interesting.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Anyway, we see a pack of goats and I look
and there's no horns, so I was like cute.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
So we get out of the car and I was like, Kurie,
let's feed them. Anyway, these goats were savage.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Out of nowhere, I had video go on to my
Instagram to have a look out of nowhere, about fifty
goats started to attack us. Basically like I was running
for my life. I had to abort my phone because
I thought I was gonna die by these goats. They're
so savage. I think they're really dumb.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Then they chased us down. They did.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
They chase us down the hill anyway. You can hear
bending in the background on my footage being like run.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Baby, run anyways, I'm running. We make it back in
the car and they jump on the car. I'm not kidding.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
It was similar to being in a game park in
South Africa and the lions are trying to get in.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Like that's what I thought. I don't know if they're dumb.
I don't know if that they go to dumb.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
We've been to like we've been to a national park before.
It's called Simbia National Park. Took the kids and there's
a goat enclosure and Lola was only about three years
old and she got pounced by like three goats at once,
and the poor thing was under the goats to pull
the baby out, We're like, oh god, But they just
get very enthusiastic about food. They're very food motivated animals.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Yeah, and that's why you can't go around the horned goats. Anyways,
I got horned.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Basically, oh wait, so the goats.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Wait, you got out of the car, but you didn't
establish that they had horns.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
You said there was no horns on.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
The fifty horned goats were hiding. It's like they planned
the attack. It was like a chemic card.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
It was a militia attack of the horn go way
we get the car with we actually could stop laughing.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Ben's like, I thought this was supposed to be not
dangerous thing, Like he's like I imagine if I went
back to my football Colum said, sorry, like I can't
play football and attacked by a goat.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I got impaled by a goat. Are they in New Zealand?
Are they dumb? Grace? They're actually very intelligent, thank you.
See they know how to get the food. I guess
they were hiding and pounced on me. Is this anything else?
Is idea? It was that a full sentence.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Some research suggests that goats are as intelligent as dogs.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
No way, I believe it. I believe it. Smart little things.
They're also very cute when they're babies. Sometimes I find
myself down a TikTok rabbit hole just watching not.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Raby goats, baby goats, and you know what, I'm gonna
put a video on.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
I've got they do these little jumps, the baby ones.
They're really cute. I've got a video, so that made
up for it.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Anyway, if you go to New Zealand, believe it or not,
I do recommend it.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
It was really fun. Just don't get out around the
horned goats.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
That's the PSA from Brittany on anyway, guys, that's it
from us
