Speaker 1 (00:48):
Sorry, I was asking produce to grace actually bring it up.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
When you walked in.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I was actually gonna comment not so much on the smell.
I thought I'll ease my way into it. But I
mean last week I came in feeling really good in
a cute little dress, and you said, what am I
dressing up for?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
In terms of you thought I was wearing a costume?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Today what you were wearing and giving the vibe of
like Bowling milkshake owner in the seventies, you know when
they used to like you go to the milkshake, you
get the old milkshake.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
You know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Producer grace and they wear like bowling collars. It's like

like you're in a team of bowl Wow.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Coming on on a Tuesday, of all days, to then
be attacked.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
It's not attacked at the.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Very start of this show. Well, thank you, brit Well.
I think you look great. Okay, you look fantastic. I
love your outfit. No notes from me, Okay, thanks, sorry
about the smell.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Well, it's happy to have.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
You back, Matt on a Tuesday. You'll be here for it.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
It's a Charlie Sheen inspired shirt. Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
That's what it was. I couldn't put my finger on it.
It's Charlie Sheen.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Look at find us on Socials and let me know
what you think of the shirt.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
We have Maddie Jay in the studio with us, feeling
in for Laura while she's on maternity leave.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Oh. Look, it's great to be here, Brett. It's great
to be here.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
It's lovely to have you.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
You know, it's nice just to have a little break
from the family and the kids.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
If I'm honest, I wouldn't. It's fine. Three weeks old.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
It's awkward.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Hey, I would love you to tell me if you
get sucked into this as frequently as I do, because
I know a lot of people are out there getting
scammed and getting fooled every day, but I seem to
be doing it a lot. Now, this is a PSA
for anyone. You really need to be medi literate. You
need to know where you're getting your news from and
what you're reading.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
It's hard to spot the fake news, it really is. Well,
I got sucked in.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Big time this week. So at the start of the week,
basically on a Sunday night, we all get together in
the team and we just say what's been going on
for the week, what's going on in our lives?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Has anything grabbed us this week?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Like it's a very normal kind of content production meeting.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
But Sunday nights, that's when they get you. That's when
your guard is down.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
It is because you're so relaxed on the lounge.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
That's when they'll find you and they'll get you.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I think there's a study somewhere that someone did that
said that you trust more on a Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I believe it absolutely.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Fake news got you.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
God, No, it was is.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
So we had this production meeting and we're all sending
our stuff in for the week and what interested us?
And I said producer Grace, I was like, put this in.
This is absolutely crazy.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
We need to talk about this.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I was like, I cannot believe this is happening. Maybe
we can start some kind of a petition. I'm sure
there's a petition happening in France as we speak now.
It was a news article saying that the Eiffel Tower
is being demolished next year, because that's right, yeah, And
it did have a lot of background to it.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
It was quite in depth.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
It said that when a contract had had water when.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
You say a lot of background to it, like it.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Was the sentences when you dropped down, it was.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
A link that said the contract had it was it
was up for a new ale, and they may not
the French government may decide that enough's enough.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
It was so unusual the details that I was like,
must be real, because they were like it had something
like one hundred and thirty six year lease contract and
it was up and France was like, we just can't
afford to maintain anymore.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
It's pretty believable, is it? The home, isn't it? You're
a clever woman. Brick Well.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
To be fair, I didn't actually click on the leak.
It was just the headline.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You have a university degree?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yeah I do.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
It just was the.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Headline and I got sucked. I'm my own worst enemy.
So I sent it to Grace. Grace was absolutely mortified,
laughed in my face and sent him back and said,
you're a loser. The Eiffel Tower is not being demolished,
and I got I'm just sick of it.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I don't know how to tell anymore. Do I have to.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Chaperone you out of the studio when there's finishes and
make sure you don't get done by the wallet inspectors
because I'm worried about you, Brett.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Honestly, skin, that's not Ai.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
My problem is AI has gotten so good.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
That's that's not AI, because that's an article.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Was AI photoshop as well?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Well? Of it already gone demolish? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
I believe it. No, but surely okay, we laugh, We laughed,
We laughed.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Producer, Grace, tell me the video that you sent me
that you thought was fascinating. I sent almost everyone in
my contact list a video of a segar riding an
e scooter, and I was like, that's.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
So clever to do this.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
It's not real.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Sorry, as if the Eiffel Tower had been demolished at
the end of one hundred and thirty six year least,
that is more believable than a sea writing electric screwed.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I thought just the power.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Of his wings was propelling it.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
The power of Look.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
I just want to just remind you, Britt, that it
wasn't actually Ai that you got done by.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
It was just a false article.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
All right, what have you been done? I don't believe
you're not getting done by Ai?
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Okay, well I got I did on one occasion get done.
I like to think of myself as being pretty cluey.
But it was a little while ago. They had the
bunny rabbits on a trampoline.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yah.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Ever, no, you know what got me.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I believed that, Oh, I'm sure you did.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
And then I.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Saw fifty videos, and each video had a different animal
on the trampoline.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Sausage dogs, that's right.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I was like, it's not that many animals.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Any seagulls on their grade seagulls.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
They didn't make it to the trampoline anyway. They say
about their kids, this's the wild world. I do want
to talk about something a little bit more serious right now.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I read some news over the weekend and it really
really ticks me off. It's going viral online, and I
just think, what a world are.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
We living in?
Speaker 1 (06:03):
So betting services, you know, betting's a really big industry.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
You can bet on airthing.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I remember when we were on The Bachelor years ago,
separate seasons you could bet on like the outcome.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Yes, it's crazy.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
They literally I love going online and just looking at
all the wild things that you can bet on, even
when it comes to politics. You can bet on literally
anything right now.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
And like, I'm not for betting, Like, if you want
to do it, whatever, it's your choice.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
But it's obviously an addictive thing.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
But there's a company and a man called Fade Me
Bets and he is now incorporating women's menstrual cycles, women's
periods into his statistics and what he's predicting on a game.
So like, I guess he's the kind of tipster in
a way.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
What he's doing is like he predicts.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
A lot of WNBA players games, so basketball, women's female basketball.
What he's doing now, and they're calling it blood money,
which is if this wasn't a serious topic. I would
laugh because I love a pun. But they are trying
to track the players' periods. So what they do is
they watch them over some time. They say, okay, on
these and these games they were playing, they looked a
(07:10):
bit more tired, they were a bit sluggish, they weren't
playing as well.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
So they track them. They work out I guess a cycle.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
So they can identify when they think yeah, so then
they're trying to work out what phase of their cycle
they're in. And then when they're in their late luteell phase,
if that lines.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Up way, sorry, what's what's lute?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
So there are different phases of your cycle, of women's cycle,
and each phase makes you feel a certain way and.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Does different things to your body.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
And when you're in your luteal phase, you're often less motivated,
you're tired, you can be more sluggish, less you just
have less energy. Basically, so they've been tracking these women's cycles.
I mean it's they don't know for sure. They're just
trying to see what they can gain from their performance.
Then when they're in they think that they're in these
low phases, they put their bets on to suit what
(07:58):
players are in what phase. So they're literally making statements like, hey,
I think that she's this player is in her lately
teal phase. She's not going to have the energy. We
need her cramps to kick in. I don't think they're
going to win because this many people are a period.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
It is so wrong women.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
It's hard enough for them to be taken seriously, it's
hard enough for them. They don't get equal pay, like
very few sports across the border equal pay. Half of
them are having to like go and play in the
off seas and overseas just to earn remotely the same amount. Recently,
I don't know if you saw this, I'm sorry I'm
on my rant here, but like the WNBA the women
were facing I don't know if you saw this map,
but like it was only in the last couple of
(08:34):
weeks and months that these same female basketballers when they're
in the middle of their game.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
These are Olympians, these are professionals.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
They're having adult toys thrown to them by men that
are in the audience that have gone to watch them,
like they are playing and they're having something literally hit
them and through It's actually disgusting and so now to
have people betting on your menstrual cycle.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Well it sounds really stupid here, but I forget being
a man. What women have to go through talking about
just normal bodily functions. It was only until I think
it was twenty and twenty three. You know Wimbledon you
have to wear or white. It was only a couple
of years ago that they changed the rules out there
the undershorts, that they allowed them to not be white,
they could be a darker color. And even you look
(09:16):
at the English football team their kit is all white
and only a couple of years ago they allowed the
shorts to be blue.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yeah, it's wild how far behind we are?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, and then this goes a little bit further too.
It gets they just become trolls. It's not just betting,
but they're encouraging comments on different people's instagrams and social
medias that are going to incite stronger feelings. So they're
basically going and trolling them because they say, hey, they're
going to be more emotional and hormonal at this point,
let's go put them off even more.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Before a game. It's absolutely discussing.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
What's this guy? Was his name again?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
His name, well, his account, he's anonymous. Because he's concerned
for his privacy. Q.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
You idiots, Well that's a bit rich.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
But his name exactly, his name is like fade me
bets and he's just an anonymous troll behind this account.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
If you guys see this stuff, all you can do
is not be a part of it. Like, don't join
in on.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
It, Brittany. Right now, the nation is divided, are they? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:12):
They really are, And I'm upset by it, if I'm honest.
And when I say divided, there are two camps. There
is the camp of people that love and embrace Halloween,
and on the other side are the people who think
that it should be left to the Americans.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
My first thought is, you get upset very easily.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I'm an emotional man, Bretney, I really am.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
But I was on TikTok and I saw a post
that was done by Sarah's day. I don't know if
you're familiar with.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
She is an influencer.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
She's like a bit of a fitness influencer. She's got
a few kids, but she's got one point two million
on Instagram. She's got about three hundred thousand on TikTok's
influencer influencer, but she's got a huge audience.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
A right.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
She did a post about the fact that she will
not be dressing up her kids for Halloween, and it
got really mixed responses in the comments. Let me just
read you a couple Okay, I'm going to let this
news marinate as I tell you that some people were
all for it and saying this just made me love
you a thousand or million times more US two xxx.
(11:13):
But then, in contrast to that, the next comment, which
got over a thousand likes, it says it's not that deep.
It's just about candy and dressing up as a cute pumpkin.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I would say that I'm with that comment.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
It's just about candy, right, So it's this dressed up
party to get candy, right.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
I mean, I will admit, back in the day before
I had kids, I was anti halloweens. Same I was
an anti halloweenist.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
I was too, but you know why I was like
as a kid, I don't know what your youth was
like in your your mum's parenting.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
But I grew up again.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Well, I grew up in Port Macquarie, which is like
a town in between the Gold Coast in Sydney. It's
like a beach Town, but we were always told like
every Halloween it was like, oh, it's so American, we don't.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Do that here.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
And I can remember how little houses like got part
of it, like we didn't feel like we were missing
out because it's not like every house in the street
was participating.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
So it was like you didn't really understand that it
was even a thing because no one used to do it.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Because the issue is Australia's too bloody big and all
the houses are too far away from each other, so
growing up to walk to the next house for us
was like a couple of minutes.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
No one could be bothering. My mom was like, I'm
not walking around with five kids knocking.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
No. I just remember my mum always saying the same thing,
just going it's too American, Like it was such an
American iceed Okay.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
But now that I've got young girls, and I see
the joy in their faces when they get to pick
their costumes, they get to dress up, they get to
go out there knock on people's door, get free chocolate
and free candy.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Oh but we can't.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
You can't win with kids like you spend your whole
life saying don't take Kenny from strangers.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
And then Halloween comes, you like except this one day
of the year.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
And that's what we really try and drill into them
that it's this one little window that we're allowed to
do it, and they love it. I dare say that
our family and especially my kids, they love Halloween more
than Christmas.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
There I said it. I said it. It's out there.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
That's a big call.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I will die on that hill.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
But I think I think wish or collectively as a country,
stop swimming against the tide. Here, embrace Halloween, open arms,
and it's amazing.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
You could come Halloweening with us.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
If I I'm you're the first person ever invite me.
Maybe that's why you don't like it.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
You've not had an in fight, no friends or come
with us.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I at the moment, at this stage of my life,
don't have kids. I hate when Halloween comes and it's
not I want the kids to have fun. I do
not want a.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Hundred people knocking at my door to give them candy.
I just don't want it. I just pretend I'm not home.
I'm not proud of it.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
And that's the best part of Halloween.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
You can be in the camp of people that want
to stay home and just open the door throw candy
at kids.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Or you can come with us. You can dress up
as I don't know people.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Here a witch ah, shrek out, a beautiful princess.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
There we go.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
But there's plenty of time thirty first of October. Just
in case you don't know it is coming. You don't
have to think of a costume.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Idea right now.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Will you find me a costume?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Absolutely? I thought you'd never ask.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Okay, if you get me a costume, I'll wear whatever
you get me. How's about that for for radio?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
But what I will say is I do have a reason.
I'm not just a gringe. I remember I did it.
I was like, you know what, I'm going to be
a better person. I'm going to get amongst it.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
And I got the candy and I got ready and
I just this one kid, I'll never forget him. I
gave him his candy and he goes, is that it?
That's what he said? And I was like, get lost
your brat, And then I closed the curtains and I
didn't do it ever again. I was like, you ungrateful
little brat.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
How old was that kid? Oh?
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Twenty eight all right, Well, I can't wait to see
what you're gonna pick for me. But yeah, I food
for thought. I do think Australia's changing.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I think we are admitting defeat and opening our arms
up to halloweens.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Not defeat, that's the wrong word.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
All right, Well, let's get out of here, see you later.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
It's lovely to have you.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
You know, it's nice just to have a little break
from the family and the kids.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
If I'm honest, I wouldn't. It's fine. Three weeks old.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
It's awkward.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Hey, I would love you to tell me if you
get sucked into this as frequently as I do, because
I know a lot of people are out there getting
scammed and getting fooled every day, but I seem to
be doing it a lot. Now, this is a PSA
for anyone. You really need to be medi literate. You
need to know where you're getting your news from and
what you're reading.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
It's hard to spot the fake news, it really is. Well,
I got sucked in.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Big time this week. So at the start of the week,
basically on a Sunday night, we all get together in
the team and we just say what's been going on
for the week, what's going on in our lives?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Has anything grabbed us this week?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Like it's a very normal kind of content production meeting.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
But Sunday nights, that's when they get you. That's when
your guard is down.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
It is because you're so relaxed on the lounge.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
That's when they'll find you and they'll get you.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I think there's a study somewhere that someone did that
said that you trust more on a Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I believe it absolutely.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Fake news got you.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
God, No, it was is.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
So we had this production meeting and we're all sending
our stuff in for the week and what interested us?
And I said producer Grace, I was like, put this in.
This is absolutely crazy.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
We need to talk about this.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I was like, I cannot believe this is happening. Maybe
we can start some kind of a petition. I'm sure
there's a petition happening in France as we speak now.
It was a news article saying that the Eiffel Tower
is being demolished next year, because that's right, yeah, And
it did have a lot of background to it.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
It was quite in depth.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
It said that when a contract had had water when.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
You say a lot of background to it, like it.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Was the sentences when you dropped down, it was.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
A link that said the contract had it was it
was up for a new ale, and they may not
the French government may decide that enough's enough.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
It was so unusual the details that I was like,
must be real, because they were like it had something
like one hundred and thirty six year lease contract and
it was up and France was like, we just can't
afford to maintain anymore.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
It's pretty believable, is it? The home, isn't it? You're
a clever woman. Brick Well.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
To be fair, I didn't actually click on the leak.
It was just the headline.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You have a university degree?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yeah I do.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
It just was the.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Headline and I got sucked. I'm my own worst enemy.
So I sent it to Grace. Grace was absolutely mortified,
laughed in my face and sent him back and said,
you're a loser. The Eiffel Tower is not being demolished,
and I got I'm just sick of it.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I don't know how to tell anymore. Do I have to.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Chaperone you out of the studio when there's finishes and
make sure you don't get done by the wallet inspectors
because I'm worried about you, Brett.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Honestly, skin, that's not Ai.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
My problem is AI has gotten so good.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
That's that's not AI, because that's an article.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Was AI photoshop as well?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Well? Of it already gone demolish? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
I believe it. No, but surely okay, we laugh, We laughed,
We laughed.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Producer, Grace, tell me the video that you sent me
that you thought was fascinating. I sent almost everyone in
my contact list a video of a segar riding an
e scooter, and I was like, that's.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
So clever to do this.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
It's not real.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Sorry, as if the Eiffel Tower had been demolished at
the end of one hundred and thirty six year least,
that is more believable than a sea writing electric screwed.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I thought just the power.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Of his wings was propelling it.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
The power of Look.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
I just want to just remind you, Britt, that it
wasn't actually Ai that you got done by.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
It was just a false article.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
All right, what have you been done? I don't believe
you're not getting done by Ai?
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Okay, well I got I did on one occasion get done.
I like to think of myself as being pretty cluey.
But it was a little while ago. They had the
bunny rabbits on a trampoline.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yah.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Ever, no, you know what got me.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I believed that, Oh, I'm sure you did.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
And then I.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Saw fifty videos, and each video had a different animal
on the trampoline.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Sausage dogs, that's right.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I was like, it's not that many animals.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Any seagulls on their grade seagulls.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
They didn't make it to the trampoline anyway. They say
about their kids, this's the wild world. I do want
to talk about something a little bit more serious right now.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I read some news over the weekend and it really
really ticks me off. It's going viral online, and I
just think, what a world are.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
We living in?
Speaker 1 (06:03):
So betting services, you know, betting's a really big industry.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
You can bet on airthing.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I remember when we were on The Bachelor years ago,
separate seasons you could bet on like the outcome.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Yes, it's crazy.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
They literally I love going online and just looking at
all the wild things that you can bet on, even
when it comes to politics. You can bet on literally
anything right now.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
And like, I'm not for betting, Like, if you want
to do it, whatever, it's your choice.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
But it's obviously an addictive thing.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
But there's a company and a man called Fade Me
Bets and he is now incorporating women's menstrual cycles, women's
periods into his statistics and what he's predicting on a game.
So like, I guess he's the kind of tipster in
a way.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
What he's doing is like he predicts.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
A lot of WNBA players games, so basketball, women's female basketball.
What he's doing now, and they're calling it blood money,
which is if this wasn't a serious topic. I would
laugh because I love a pun. But they are trying
to track the players' periods. So what they do is
they watch them over some time. They say, okay, on
these and these games they were playing, they looked a
(07:10):
bit more tired, they were a bit sluggish, they weren't
playing as well.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
So they track them. They work out I guess a cycle.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
So they can identify when they think yeah, so then
they're trying to work out what phase of their cycle
they're in. And then when they're in their late luteell phase,
if that lines.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Up way, sorry, what's what's lute?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
So there are different phases of your cycle, of women's cycle,
and each phase makes you feel a certain way and.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Does different things to your body.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
And when you're in your luteal phase, you're often less motivated,
you're tired, you can be more sluggish, less you just
have less energy. Basically, so they've been tracking these women's cycles.
I mean it's they don't know for sure. They're just
trying to see what they can gain from their performance.
Then when they're in they think that they're in these
low phases, they put their bets on to suit what
(07:58):
players are in what phase. So they're literally making statements like, hey,
I think that she's this player is in her lately
teal phase. She's not going to have the energy. We
need her cramps to kick in. I don't think they're
going to win because this many people are a period.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
It is so wrong women.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
It's hard enough for them to be taken seriously, it's
hard enough for them. They don't get equal pay, like
very few sports across the border equal pay. Half of
them are having to like go and play in the
off seas and overseas just to earn remotely the same amount. Recently,
I don't know if you saw this, I'm sorry I'm
on my rant here, but like the WNBA the women
were facing I don't know if you saw this map,
but like it was only in the last couple of
(08:34):
weeks and months that these same female basketballers when they're
in the middle of their game.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
These are Olympians, these are professionals.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
They're having adult toys thrown to them by men that
are in the audience that have gone to watch them,
like they are playing and they're having something literally hit
them and through It's actually disgusting and so now to
have people betting on your menstrual cycle.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Well it sounds really stupid here, but I forget being
a man. What women have to go through talking about
just normal bodily functions. It was only until I think
it was twenty and twenty three. You know Wimbledon you
have to wear or white. It was only a couple
of years ago that they changed the rules out there
the undershorts, that they allowed them to not be white,
they could be a darker color. And even you look
(09:16):
at the English football team their kit is all white
and only a couple of years ago they allowed the
shorts to be blue.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yeah, it's wild how far behind we are?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, and then this goes a little bit further too.
It gets they just become trolls. It's not just betting,
but they're encouraging comments on different people's instagrams and social
medias that are going to incite stronger feelings. So they're
basically going and trolling them because they say, hey, they're
going to be more emotional and hormonal at this point,
let's go put them off even more.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Before a game. It's absolutely discussing.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
What's this guy? Was his name again?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
His name, well, his account, he's anonymous. Because he's concerned
for his privacy. Q.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
You idiots, Well that's a bit rich.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
But his name exactly, his name is like fade me
bets and he's just an anonymous troll behind this account.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
If you guys see this stuff, all you can do
is not be a part of it. Like, don't join
in on.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
It, Brittany. Right now, the nation is divided, are they? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:12):
They really are, And I'm upset by it, if I'm honest.
And when I say divided, there are two camps. There
is the camp of people that love and embrace Halloween,
and on the other side are the people who think
that it should be left to the Americans.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
My first thought is, you get upset very easily.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I'm an emotional man, Bretney, I really am.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
But I was on TikTok and I saw a post
that was done by Sarah's day. I don't know if
you're familiar with.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
She is an influencer.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
She's like a bit of a fitness influencer. She's got
a few kids, but she's got one point two million
on Instagram. She's got about three hundred thousand on TikTok's
influencer influencer, but she's got a huge audience.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
A right.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
She did a post about the fact that she will
not be dressing up her kids for Halloween, and it
got really mixed responses in the comments. Let me just
read you a couple Okay, I'm going to let this
news marinate as I tell you that some people were
all for it and saying this just made me love
you a thousand or million times more US two xxx.
(11:13):
But then, in contrast to that, the next comment, which
got over a thousand likes, it says it's not that deep.
It's just about candy and dressing up as a cute pumpkin.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I would say that I'm with that comment.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
It's just about candy, right, So it's this dressed up
party to get candy, right.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
I mean, I will admit, back in the day before
I had kids, I was anti halloweens. Same I was
an anti halloweenist.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
I was too, but you know why I was like
as a kid, I don't know what your youth was
like in your your mum's parenting.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
But I grew up again.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Well, I grew up in Port Macquarie, which is like
a town in between the Gold Coast in Sydney. It's
like a beach Town, but we were always told like
every Halloween it was like, oh, it's so American, we don't.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Do that here.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
And I can remember how little houses like got part
of it, like we didn't feel like we were missing
out because it's not like every house in the street
was participating.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
So it was like you didn't really understand that it
was even a thing because no one used to do it.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Because the issue is Australia's too bloody big and all
the houses are too far away from each other, so
growing up to walk to the next house for us
was like a couple of minutes.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
No one could be bothering. My mom was like, I'm
not walking around with five kids knocking.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
No. I just remember my mum always saying the same thing,
just going it's too American, Like it was such an
American iceed Okay.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
But now that I've got young girls, and I see
the joy in their faces when they get to pick
their costumes, they get to dress up, they get to
go out there knock on people's door, get free chocolate
and free candy.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Oh but we can't.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
You can't win with kids like you spend your whole
life saying don't take Kenny from strangers.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
And then Halloween comes, you like except this one day
of the year.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
And that's what we really try and drill into them
that it's this one little window that we're allowed to
do it, and they love it. I dare say that
our family and especially my kids, they love Halloween more
than Christmas.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
There I said it. I said it. It's out there.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
That's a big call.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I will die on that hill.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
But I think I think wish or collectively as a country,
stop swimming against the tide. Here, embrace Halloween, open arms,
and it's amazing.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
You could come Halloweening with us.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
If I I'm you're the first person ever invite me.
Maybe that's why you don't like it.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
You've not had an in fight, no friends or come
with us.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I at the moment, at this stage of my life,
don't have kids. I hate when Halloween comes and it's
not I want the kids to have fun. I do
not want a.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Hundred people knocking at my door to give them candy.
I just don't want it. I just pretend I'm not home.
I'm not proud of it.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
And that's the best part of Halloween.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
You can be in the camp of people that want
to stay home and just open the door throw candy
at kids.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Or you can come with us. You can dress up
as I don't know people.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Here a witch ah, shrek out, a beautiful princess.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
There we go.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
But there's plenty of time thirty first of October. Just
in case you don't know it is coming. You don't
have to think of a costume.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Idea right now.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Will you find me a costume?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Absolutely? I thought you'd never ask.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Okay, if you get me a costume, I'll wear whatever
you get me. How's about that for for radio?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
But what I will say is I do have a reason.
I'm not just a gringe. I remember I did it.
I was like, you know what, I'm going to be
a better person. I'm going to get amongst it.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
And I got the candy and I got ready and
I just this one kid, I'll never forget him. I
gave him his candy and he goes, is that it?
That's what he said? And I was like, get lost
your brat, And then I closed the curtains and I
didn't do it ever again. I was like, you ungrateful
little brat.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
How old was that kid? Oh?
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Twenty eight all right, Well, I can't wait to see
what you're gonna pick for me. But yeah, I food
for thought. I do think Australia's changing.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I think we are admitting defeat and opening our arms
up to halloweens.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Not defeat, that's the wrong word.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
All right, Well, let's get out of here, see you later.
