It don't matter where that goes. This is the pickup.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Hello, We're back. Happy Friday everyone. It is the Pickup
with Britt Hockey and Laura Burn.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
What's going on this weekend?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Loau?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Nothing? Yeah, no, I am. I'm going to a kid's
birthday party. I'm going to a five year old birthday party.
Who climbing indoors dropping run? No, No, they're actually the
good friends, so I want to see the parents as well.
But then when you're not really friends with the parents,
you do do a drop and run these days.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yeah right, Well, I'm still it sounds sad.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
I'm still recovering from this like skin cancer face treatment
thing that I had done, which was like eight days ago.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
But you can't go in the sun for weeks.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
So you just have to stay inside. I just put.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Disguise on, like I think I'll just put like a
Superman mask on something and get out.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
But it does limit me.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
If you want to borrow one. I still have Laura's
Batman mask from her book week If you want to
put that whole thing say less.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
All right, give me that's me for the weekend Batman.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Look coming out next. Brit you have something called Lemon Law,
and I don't know what it is.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I didn't know about Lemon Law, but I want your
opinion about it. I'm going to tell you it's something
to do with the dating world, the dating realm.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
You know there's a label for everything.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yes, I do. I just remembered what's happening on the weekend. Sorry,
Oh my god, Laura, we've moved on. Okay, would you
like to tell us?
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Because on Sunday it's been eight years since Matt and
I's finale was on the television, since we've been together
eight years Public Out and Proud, and then up.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Next Lemon Law. So I want to talk about a
new law. Now, not a law that you can be
sent to prison for.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Wait, is it Law's law? What we bringing that segment back?
Speaker 4 (02:09):
No, it is a law in the dating world. So
this is going off its chops. Online on TikTok and
Instagram at the moment. So basically, this girl posted a
TikTok and this is what she said, Guys help, A
guy just picked me up for a date and dropped
me off home within five minutes, and he drove like
forty minutes to get me. I'm never attempting to put
(02:31):
myself out there again. I can't stop thinking about it.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
You would actually be so hurt.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Yeah, so these guy's driven, like forty minutes is a
long way to go for a date.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Picture up, She's got in the car. They drove five minutes.
He's like, I'm calling it dropped her back. She didn't
really give any other reasons as to like what went
down in that five minutes.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I really I need to know what he said, Like
how do you just return, serb and just reverse the
car back in and be like all right, that was nice.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I think you just say thank you next.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
In the words of Verriana Grande, but I think the
interesting thing to come off the back of this conversation is, yes,
that sucked. But the comments were going off and everyone
kept saying, oh, yeah, that's Lemon's law.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Duh, Lemon's law. Lemon's law, Lemons law, and I was like,
what the hell is Lemon's law? If I've been under
a rock, I think we have been.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Well I did a deep dive. Now did you ever
watch How I Met Your Mother?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Oh? Yes, Oh I love that show, but I didn't
watch it religiously, So I still don't know what Lemon's
Law is.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Well, no, I didn't either. But Barney Stinson, you know
he's paid played by Neil Patrick Harris. He apparently on
the show invented Lemon's law.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
So listen, last night, epiphany, I realized what the world
of dating needs ready, a Lemon law. A Lemon law
like for cars, exactly from the moment that date begins,
you have five minutes to decide whether you're going to
commit to an entire evening, and if you don't, it's
no hard feelings, just good night, thanks for planning. See
you never huh uh the Lemon law.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
It's going to be a thing.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Does the Lemon law actually exist for cars? Like, if
you drive that out of a driveway and it starts sputtering,
can turn around and be like.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Sorry, well that's where it came from.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
So in a Lemon law in the US that was
a law to protect people from buying cars that were
like defunct, so you could buy it and if it
didn't drive probably five minutes, you could return it.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
So okay, hear me out, though being referred to as
a lemon as a human is pretty.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Now, I do you know what, at.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
The post start, no hard feelings. It's fine, we go
in the Mary Lives. If someone took me home after
five minutes and said she's a lemon, so I'm not
going to commit my night to well, I think i'd
be pretty.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Personally if she's calling you a lemon.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
But at the start I was off it right, I
thought that's wrong, you shouldn't be doing that. But then
I thought about it a little bit more and whilso,
I'm not convinced that you can tell in five minutes
who someone is and what connection you have, Like I
just think that someone's not really who they are in
five minutes.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
So it's based pretty superficially.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
There's another part of me that thinks, do you know
what if we are living in a world now where
time is the most valuable commodity, and you know you
don't want to go and be somewhere and do something
for the next three hours?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Do you have to do it?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Is it okay? I don't know. I think it's pretty
harsh to call a date instantly if you've both committed,
like because people put in effort, you know they've gotten
dressed up, whatever it is. But I I definitely think
you should be wise enough to not organize a date
that is a long investment of time. The first date
should be a coffee. It should be something that you
can keep to twenty minutes if you want to. But
(05:20):
five minutes when you've picked them up in a car
and you've just spun it around and driven them back
to the house feels roughly.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
It's mortifying. I wouldn't be putting on TikTok.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I don't know, Britt. Have you ever had someone pull
a date early? That'd be ridiculous?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I would No, No, I haven't. But I have wanted
to leave dates early.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, but you pity stayed, didn't you? You stayed longer? Yeah,
that's all those people do.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
One of the schnitzel.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
But I have been at moments where lemon law, if
it was real, would have come in handy, because there
have been instances that I mean, I was online dating
for a long time. There's a very different feel when
you were texting. You can have great bant with someone
when it's back and forward online and then you meet them.
You can get a feeling pretty quickly if something is
not right. And if Lemon law was a thing that
(06:05):
was accepted, I would have Lemon lured the hell out
of those dates because I don't want to hurt people's feelings.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I was the same. I think I stayed on dates
for like you.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Said, relationships, not dates. You a relationship for a decade
you shouldn't have been in.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I don't know how to get out of it anyway.
Look coming up next, there is something that's made a comeback.
I know that we know that everything goes around and
comes out of fashion and goes back in fashion, but
there is something I never thought would come back, and
it is a kid's toy. It's britt I know we
(06:39):
were talking about earlier, but like how things come back
in fashion, like they come round in circles, Like like
you clip in fringe you've got going on today.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Well, I'm not convinced that this was ever in fashion,
but I buck the trends, Laura.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
The fringe is here to day.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
But like you know, I'm talking everything. Skinny leg jeans
there were in fashion years ago, then they came out,
Then they're back in I know what I hate that's
coming back in Oh God tell me low rise jeans again,
the ones that barely covered the puppy hair.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
They're coming back.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah, But I like them when I when I was
a teenager. The thing is the only people that can
wear it are teenager or girls in their twenties.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I just don't think anyone should wear them like.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Men and in boxer shorts hanging out the top of
their pants. I don't think that's back in fashion. Yeah
that wizza, Yeah that is that is. Look, I mean everything.
There is not a category in the world when it
comes to like fashion or makeup styles or whatever that
doesn't come around in cycles. But something I wasn't I
guess like I never really realized that this could have
(07:32):
the same sort of effect is kids toys. Do you
remember when we were at school, the humble and very
annoying tamagotchi.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Oh, how could I forget? I killed many tamagotchies.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I remember having a tamagotchi, and I was so obsessed
with this thing that even when I went to school,
because they got banned from our school because all the
kids would have them, and it was a whole thing distracting. Yeah,
and well yeah, because all day you've got to clean
up their pooh. You've got to make sure they're fared,
you've got to wash them like you.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
But mind you, it was just a button. You just
press a button to clean the poop.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
It is. But the problem isn't that. The problem is
setting the time. Like the time's actually really tricky to set.
They all come with a pre loaded time. No one
knows how to set the time properly. And if you
don't set the time, it doesn't sleep when you're asleep,
so it's all hours the night.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Things like Pip Pip Pip.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Anyway, my nan, bless her deep soult. She's not with
us anymore. She expired after having to take care of
too many tamagotchi.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
That's death by tamagotchi. It's a big call.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
She used to take my tamagotchi when I was at school.
But anyway, I'm not talking about my experience. Molly went
to a friend's house for a play after school the
other day, and she came home and she was like, Mom,
look what my friend gave me, and it is a tamagotchi.
And apparently every kid in primary school now has them
and they're back in fashion.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Are they back as in like they've gotten their parents'
old tamagotchis or they made them like a modern day.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
No, there's a modern day tamagotchi, and they are back
with an absolute vengeance, and they are as annoying as ever. Yeah,
they're always asking for something, but.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
I feel like they're more yeah, swipe up.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
I feel like they're more technical now, which surely they
haven't just brought back like the humble Pooh tamagotchi.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
It's pretty humble, it's pretty straight yeats, it's pretty similar.
You know.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
I'm not mad about it, to be honest, because I
think like that is a better thing that I'd want
my kids playing with than the video games. I know
it's a screen of sorts, but it's not the same
kind of screen. You know what I would like to
see come back? Ferbis No, I didn't have a ferby
the Yoho Diablo.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Cast your minds back.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Remember it was like two sticks and a string and
it was like you would bounce it and do and
like these tricks.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
When we were in Cans recently, there was a guy
out in the park who was playing with the Yoho
Diablou and I was like, wow, that is really a blast.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
In the past.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I mean, I think it's similar to all these days.
Kids do have their different things, Like I think they're
slightly more annoying, but like there was a mad phase
of marbles, then there was a mad phase of Yoyo's,
then there was a mad phase of Taso's. In our generation,
I didn't have tazo mad phase of ferbies, like I
remember getting a ferby and being so upset. Ferbies were
like a real lifetimeagotchi. You had to do all the
(10:04):
things to it and keep it alive and whatnot, and
it would talk and waddle and do crazy things. And
I just had this moment where when Molly brought this
tamagotchi home and then she gave it to me because
she went to bed, and we've had to have the
rule of no time I got chi's in the bedroom.
It made me really I was like, oh my god,
I am my mother. It's happened to me. All the
things that I made her go through. I'm now there,
(10:25):
I've arrived at the destination.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
You absolutely have. It does happen when you grow up, Laura.
But remember sorry, I'm still in the yourho dialogue.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Remember you thought you were so cool, but you would
used to have to whip one hand really quickly to get
it speeding like whip. Then you'd whip it across like
you were like I was never any good as and
then you would you would pull it tight. Everyone's listening
nose right now, and it would go like thirty meters
in the air and you had to catch it on
the string.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Again.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I was elite. I was really really good. I might
get one.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
You should bring back Gena what you heard it here?
First the pick up, but you're going to bring back
the Yoho Diablo Britney drum roll please. It is that
time of the week. It's the segment that I I
really do get excited about this. It is fun fact Friday, Shelter,
Fine Friday.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
I love a fact that George is aren't offer that fun.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yeah, you you kind of don't enjoy my facts, but
you know what you know who does enjoy my facts?
Producer Grace Grace did it not come in handy this
week having fun Fact Friday.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Yes, there is an office quiz that I do it.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
It's just before the show.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
To the office Quiz because we go fun Fact Friday.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Yeah, you have notes because you have a show to
do it. It's also that when you told me this,
we had a moment where you said that you will
dress up and I was like, what is happening in
our office?
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Wear shark hats because it's the shark quiz. They do
it in the newspaper and the shark from the Chase Rights.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
I'm not sure that's making this better anyway.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Our office is cool. I swear.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
It came down to a tiebreaker between me and one
other person and the question happened to be something that
I just googled for fun Fact Friday. What a question, Yes,
but it's in Today's Funny.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I'm not gonna give it away.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Well, the reason why I love this is because like
this is see this as like a little education piece.
You can take this into the weekend. Maybe you like
a bit of trivia, You want something to spark up
a conversation with someone who you know probably won't find
any of these things interesting.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
I have I brought a fun fact today that I
him me he's going to spark conversation.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Spark it. Let's go. Did you know.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
The average speed of a fart is eleven kilometers an hour.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I did not know that.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Yeah, that is also about ten feet a second.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Do you know what I'd like to know? Then? Since
we spoke about Guinness World Records earlier in the week,
I'd like to know what is the fastest fart? Not
just the average fart? Well, we care about the average one.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
That is also something that I did prepare. And I'll
have you know that the.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Fastest fart has producing grace googles.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
The fastest part is I'll let you take this one, grace.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
There is no official world record for the fastest fart.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Sorry, guys.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Let's we could set it some reach up to twenty
miles per hour.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
That's crazy, I reckon. My husbands would definitely have that
sort of velocity. All right, here are some of the
fun facts of this Friday. Pritty. You might know this
one because you did have your time in the tennis sidelines.
You are not you are not allowed to swear while
playing at Wimbledon. A player is not allowed to swear
and because of this the line. Judges have to learn
(13:26):
curse words in several different languages.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
It's true, yep, so I did. My ex plays at Wimbledon.
Is a tennis player and they get fined. So you
get fined and penalized for swearing. You get fine and
penalized for like hitting your racket. You cannot under any circumstance,
no aggression. You can't dint the grass.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Wow, Yeah, it's a it's a big thing. I think
my ex got fined a few times.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
All right. Have you ever heard of the expression I
of newt toe of frog and wool of bat? If
you ever got into paganism or witchcraft, maybe that's something
you say quite often. But these are all just very
archaic terms for mustard seed, buttercup and holly leaves.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
But I think that fact is only fine if people
have heard that saying, once you heard of that thing?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I have? What about smell of boy? Anyway? The next
one that was when Laura was a witch, when she
was like sixteen. The last letter that was added to
the alphabet was drumroll please the letter J. It's also
the only letter that does not appear in the periodic
table and producing grace taken away.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
That's how I won Shark quiz guys periodic table.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Yes, good on you would you win respect just tally
on the whiteboard.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Well, we're very proud of your grace. I do have
one more, and I find this one quite fascinating. What
do bulletproof, vess, fire escapes, windshield wipers, and laser printers
all have in common from the same material. No, but
they do have something in common. They're all made by the.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Same com so shoe path that wants to use them.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
They were all invented by women. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
That is cool women, just like I want to be
able to see when it rains.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
I want to see when it rains, I don't want
to be shot, and I want a fire escape to
get out of a burning building.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Now, what's weird?
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Women never used to be able to drive, so it's
still interesting that they came up with the invention to
help men drive better.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Also probably unsurprising. Okay, very last one. Did you know
the cows have best friends and they tend to experience
lower levels of stress when they're hanging out with their
best friends.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
That's really sad.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
People are vegan. No, we shouldn't eat them. I know.
And they've got such cute blinky eyes.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Do you know why cows lay down to sleep because
you can tip them over if they're dead.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
No, because all the other ones do.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
All right, we gotta get out of here.
My heart podcasts, hear more Kiss podcast playlist and listen
live on the Free iHeart app.

birthday party. I'm going to a five year old birthday party.

good friends, so I want to see the parents as well.
But then when you're not really friends with the parents,
you do do a drop and run these days.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yeah right, Well, I'm still it sounds sad.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
I'm still recovering from this like skin cancer face treatment
thing that I had done, which was like eight days ago.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
But you can't go in the sun for weeks.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
So you just have to stay inside. I just put.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Disguise on, like I think I'll just put like a
Superman mask on something and get out.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
But it does limit me.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
If you want to borrow one. I still have Laura's
Batman mask from her book week If you want to
put that whole thing say less.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
All right, give me that's me for the weekend Batman.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Look coming out next. Brit you have something called Lemon Law,
and I don't know what it is.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I didn't know about Lemon Law, but I want your
opinion about it. I'm going to tell you it's something
to do with the dating world, the dating realm.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
You know there's a label for everything.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yes, I do. I just remembered what's happening on the weekend. Sorry,
Oh my god, Laura, we've moved on. Okay, would you
like to tell us?
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Because on Sunday it's been eight years since Matt and
I's finale was on the television, since we've been together
eight years Public Out and Proud, and then up.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Next Lemon Law. So I want to talk about a
new law. Now, not a law that you can be
sent to prison for.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Wait, is it Law's law? What we bringing that segment back?
Speaker 4 (02:09):
No, it is a law in the dating world. So
this is going off its chops. Online on TikTok and
Instagram at the moment. So basically, this girl posted a
TikTok and this is what she said, Guys help, A
guy just picked me up for a date and dropped
me off home within five minutes, and he drove like
forty minutes to get me. I'm never attempting to put
(02:31):
myself out there again. I can't stop thinking about it.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
You would actually be so hurt.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Yeah, so these guy's driven, like forty minutes is a
long way to go for a date.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Picture up, She's got in the car. They drove five minutes.
He's like, I'm calling it dropped her back. She didn't
really give any other reasons as to like what went
down in that five minutes.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I really I need to know what he said, Like
how do you just return, serb and just reverse the
car back in and be like all right, that was nice.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I think you just say thank you next.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
In the words of Verriana Grande, but I think the
interesting thing to come off the back of this conversation is, yes,
that sucked. But the comments were going off and everyone
kept saying, oh, yeah, that's Lemon's law.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Duh, Lemon's law. Lemon's law, Lemons law, and I was like,
what the hell is Lemon's law? If I've been under
a rock, I think we have been.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Well I did a deep dive. Now did you ever
watch How I Met Your Mother?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Oh? Yes, Oh I love that show, but I didn't
watch it religiously, So I still don't know what Lemon's
Law is.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Well, no, I didn't either. But Barney Stinson, you know
he's paid played by Neil Patrick Harris. He apparently on
the show invented Lemon's law.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
So listen, last night, epiphany, I realized what the world
of dating needs ready, a Lemon law. A Lemon law
like for cars, exactly from the moment that date begins,
you have five minutes to decide whether you're going to
commit to an entire evening, and if you don't, it's
no hard feelings, just good night, thanks for planning. See
you never huh uh the Lemon law.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
It's going to be a thing.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Does the Lemon law actually exist for cars? Like, if
you drive that out of a driveway and it starts sputtering,
can turn around and be like.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Sorry, well that's where it came from.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
So in a Lemon law in the US that was
a law to protect people from buying cars that were
like defunct, so you could buy it and if it
didn't drive probably five minutes, you could return it.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
So okay, hear me out, though being referred to as
a lemon as a human is pretty.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Now, I do you know what, at.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
The post start, no hard feelings. It's fine, we go
in the Mary Lives. If someone took me home after
five minutes and said she's a lemon, so I'm not
going to commit my night to well, I think i'd
be pretty.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Personally if she's calling you a lemon.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
But at the start I was off it right, I
thought that's wrong, you shouldn't be doing that. But then
I thought about it a little bit more and whilso,
I'm not convinced that you can tell in five minutes
who someone is and what connection you have, Like I
just think that someone's not really who they are in
five minutes.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
So it's based pretty superficially.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
There's another part of me that thinks, do you know
what if we are living in a world now where
time is the most valuable commodity, and you know you
don't want to go and be somewhere and do something
for the next three hours?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Do you have to do it?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Is it okay? I don't know. I think it's pretty
harsh to call a date instantly if you've both committed,
like because people put in effort, you know they've gotten
dressed up, whatever it is. But I I definitely think
you should be wise enough to not organize a date
that is a long investment of time. The first date
should be a coffee. It should be something that you
can keep to twenty minutes if you want to. But
(05:20):
five minutes when you've picked them up in a car
and you've just spun it around and driven them back
to the house feels roughly.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
It's mortifying. I wouldn't be putting on TikTok.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I don't know, Britt. Have you ever had someone pull
a date early? That'd be ridiculous?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I would No, No, I haven't. But I have wanted
to leave dates early.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, but you pity stayed, didn't you? You stayed longer? Yeah,
that's all those people do.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
One of the schnitzel.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
But I have been at moments where lemon law, if
it was real, would have come in handy, because there
have been instances that I mean, I was online dating
for a long time. There's a very different feel when
you were texting. You can have great bant with someone
when it's back and forward online and then you meet them.
You can get a feeling pretty quickly if something is
not right. And if Lemon law was a thing that
(06:05):
was accepted, I would have Lemon lured the hell out
of those dates because I don't want to hurt people's feelings.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I was the same. I think I stayed on dates
for like you.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Said, relationships, not dates. You a relationship for a decade
you shouldn't have been in.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I don't know how to get out of it anyway.
Look coming up next, there is something that's made a comeback.
I know that we know that everything goes around and
comes out of fashion and goes back in fashion, but
there is something I never thought would come back, and
it is a kid's toy. It's britt I know we
(06:39):
were talking about earlier, but like how things come back
in fashion, like they come round in circles, Like like
you clip in fringe you've got going on today.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Well, I'm not convinced that this was ever in fashion,
but I buck the trends, Laura.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
The fringe is here to day.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
But like you know, I'm talking everything. Skinny leg jeans
there were in fashion years ago, then they came out,
Then they're back in I know what I hate that's
coming back in Oh God tell me low rise jeans again,
the ones that barely covered the puppy hair.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
They're coming back.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah, But I like them when I when I was
a teenager. The thing is the only people that can
wear it are teenager or girls in their twenties.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I just don't think anyone should wear them like.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Men and in boxer shorts hanging out the top of
their pants. I don't think that's back in fashion. Yeah
that wizza, Yeah that is that is. Look, I mean everything.
There is not a category in the world when it
comes to like fashion or makeup styles or whatever that
doesn't come around in cycles. But something I wasn't I
guess like I never really realized that this could have
(07:32):
the same sort of effect is kids toys. Do you
remember when we were at school, the humble and very
annoying tamagotchi.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Oh, how could I forget? I killed many tamagotchies.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I remember having a tamagotchi, and I was so obsessed
with this thing that even when I went to school,
because they got banned from our school because all the
kids would have them, and it was a whole thing distracting. Yeah,
and well yeah, because all day you've got to clean
up their pooh. You've got to make sure they're fared,
you've got to wash them like you.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
But mind you, it was just a button. You just
press a button to clean the poop.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
It is. But the problem isn't that. The problem is
setting the time. Like the time's actually really tricky to set.
They all come with a pre loaded time. No one
knows how to set the time properly. And if you
don't set the time, it doesn't sleep when you're asleep,
so it's all hours the night.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Things like Pip Pip Pip.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Anyway, my nan, bless her deep soult. She's not with
us anymore. She expired after having to take care of
too many tamagotchi.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
That's death by tamagotchi. It's a big call.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
She used to take my tamagotchi when I was at school.
But anyway, I'm not talking about my experience. Molly went
to a friend's house for a play after school the
other day, and she came home and she was like, Mom,
look what my friend gave me, and it is a tamagotchi.
And apparently every kid in primary school now has them
and they're back in fashion.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Are they back as in like they've gotten their parents'
old tamagotchis or they made them like a modern day.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
No, there's a modern day tamagotchi, and they are back
with an absolute vengeance, and they are as annoying as ever. Yeah,
they're always asking for something, but.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
I feel like they're more yeah, swipe up.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
I feel like they're more technical now, which surely they
haven't just brought back like the humble Pooh tamagotchi.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
It's pretty humble, it's pretty straight yeats, it's pretty similar.
You know.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
I'm not mad about it, to be honest, because I
think like that is a better thing that I'd want
my kids playing with than the video games. I know
it's a screen of sorts, but it's not the same
kind of screen. You know what I would like to
see come back? Ferbis No, I didn't have a ferby
the Yoho Diablo.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Cast your minds back.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Remember it was like two sticks and a string and
it was like you would bounce it and do and
like these tricks.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
When we were in Cans recently, there was a guy
out in the park who was playing with the Yoho
Diablou and I was like, wow, that is really a blast.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
In the past.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I mean, I think it's similar to all these days.
Kids do have their different things, Like I think they're
slightly more annoying, but like there was a mad phase
of marbles, then there was a mad phase of Yoyo's,
then there was a mad phase of Taso's. In our generation,
I didn't have tazo mad phase of ferbies, like I
remember getting a ferby and being so upset. Ferbies were
like a real lifetimeagotchi. You had to do all the
(10:04):
things to it and keep it alive and whatnot, and
it would talk and waddle and do crazy things. And
I just had this moment where when Molly brought this
tamagotchi home and then she gave it to me because
she went to bed, and we've had to have the
rule of no time I got chi's in the bedroom.
It made me really I was like, oh my god,
I am my mother. It's happened to me. All the
things that I made her go through. I'm now there,
(10:25):
I've arrived at the destination.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
You absolutely have. It does happen when you grow up, Laura.
But remember sorry, I'm still in the yourho dialogue.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Remember you thought you were so cool, but you would
used to have to whip one hand really quickly to get
it speeding like whip. Then you'd whip it across like
you were like I was never any good as and
then you would you would pull it tight. Everyone's listening
nose right now, and it would go like thirty meters
in the air and you had to catch it on
the string.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Again.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I was elite. I was really really good. I might
get one.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
You should bring back Gena what you heard it here?
First the pick up, but you're going to bring back
the Yoho Diablo Britney drum roll please. It is that
time of the week. It's the segment that I I
really do get excited about this. It is fun fact Friday, Shelter,
Fine Friday.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
I love a fact that George is aren't offer that fun.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yeah, you you kind of don't enjoy my facts, but
you know what you know who does enjoy my facts?
Producer Grace Grace did it not come in handy this
week having fun Fact Friday.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Yes, there is an office quiz that I do it.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
It's just before the show.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
To the office Quiz because we go fun Fact Friday.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Yeah, you have notes because you have a show to
do it. It's also that when you told me this,
we had a moment where you said that you will
dress up and I was like, what is happening in
our office?
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Wear shark hats because it's the shark quiz. They do
it in the newspaper and the shark from the Chase Rights.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
I'm not sure that's making this better anyway.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Our office is cool. I swear.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
It came down to a tiebreaker between me and one
other person and the question happened to be something that
I just googled for fun Fact Friday. What a question, Yes,
but it's in Today's Funny.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I'm not gonna give it away.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Well, the reason why I love this is because like
this is see this as like a little education piece.
You can take this into the weekend. Maybe you like
a bit of trivia, You want something to spark up
a conversation with someone who you know probably won't find
any of these things interesting.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
I have I brought a fun fact today that I
him me he's going to spark conversation.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Spark it. Let's go. Did you know.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
The average speed of a fart is eleven kilometers an hour.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I did not know that.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Yeah, that is also about ten feet a second.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Do you know what I'd like to know? Then? Since
we spoke about Guinness World Records earlier in the week,
I'd like to know what is the fastest fart? Not
just the average fart? Well, we care about the average one.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
That is also something that I did prepare. And I'll
have you know that the.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Fastest fart has producing grace googles.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
The fastest part is I'll let you take this one, grace.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
There is no official world record for the fastest fart.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Sorry, guys.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Let's we could set it some reach up to twenty
miles per hour.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
That's crazy, I reckon. My husbands would definitely have that
sort of velocity. All right, here are some of the
fun facts of this Friday. Pritty. You might know this
one because you did have your time in the tennis sidelines.
You are not you are not allowed to swear while
playing at Wimbledon. A player is not allowed to swear
and because of this the line. Judges have to learn
(13:26):
curse words in several different languages.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
It's true, yep, so I did. My ex plays at Wimbledon.
Is a tennis player and they get fined. So you
get fined and penalized for swearing. You get fine and
penalized for like hitting your racket. You cannot under any circumstance,
no aggression. You can't dint the grass.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Wow, Yeah, it's a it's a big thing. I think
my ex got fined a few times.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
All right. Have you ever heard of the expression I
of newt toe of frog and wool of bat? If
you ever got into paganism or witchcraft, maybe that's something
you say quite often. But these are all just very
archaic terms for mustard seed, buttercup and holly leaves.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
But I think that fact is only fine if people
have heard that saying, once you heard of that thing?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I have? What about smell of boy? Anyway? The next
one that was when Laura was a witch, when she
was like sixteen. The last letter that was added to
the alphabet was drumroll please the letter J. It's also
the only letter that does not appear in the periodic
table and producing grace taken away.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
That's how I won Shark quiz guys periodic table.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Yes, good on you would you win respect just tally
on the whiteboard.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Well, we're very proud of your grace. I do have
one more, and I find this one quite fascinating. What
do bulletproof, vess, fire escapes, windshield wipers, and laser printers
all have in common from the same material. No, but
they do have something in common. They're all made by the.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Same com so shoe path that wants to use them.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
They were all invented by women. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
That is cool women, just like I want to be
able to see when it rains.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
I want to see when it rains, I don't want
to be shot, and I want a fire escape to
get out of a burning building.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Now, what's weird?
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Women never used to be able to drive, so it's
still interesting that they came up with the invention to
help men drive better.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Also probably unsurprising. Okay, very last one. Did you know
the cows have best friends and they tend to experience
lower levels of stress when they're hanging out with their
best friends.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
That's really sad.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
People are vegan. No, we shouldn't eat them. I know.
And they've got such cute blinky eyes.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Do you know why cows lay down to sleep because
you can tip them over if they're dead.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
No, because all the other ones do.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
All right, we gotta get out of here.
