Speaker 3 (00:19):
Good Pickup with Britt Hockley and Laura.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Burn Baby or what our windows down?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
If my world risen the dust don't make good crabs.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
Doug all down.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I don't much, but yeah I'm not. I'll big get
and what I want. It don't matter where Brad.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
This is the pickup.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Happy hum day everyone. You're listening to the Pickup with
Britt Hockley and Laura Burn Laws.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
We are mere days away, two more days, two more days.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
But from you been out of here and having a baby.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
I do have a question because this whole pregnancy you've
been pretty locked and loaded on the baby's name.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
It was leaked by Mattie Jay. It was Poppy Pearl.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
And one thing you are going to get if you
missed it earlier in the week. Matt is feeling in.
My husband, Matt is feeling in on the pickup while
I'm away having maternal Believe you will get some good
goss out of that man because he is a loose
lips sally.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
He tells people things he's not meant to say.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Oh so many spoilers.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yeah, he announced the baby's name Poppy. We've talked about
on the show before.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
But you were like teetering a couple of weeks ago.
You were like, I don't know if I've outgrown it.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Because you've said it so many times.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
What are the odds that you think at this point
you'll have her look at her and be like, it's
not Poppy.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
I find this an interesting one.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I always find it weird when when parents can look
at a small baby and be like, oh, the name
just didn't seem like it suited them, because like, I
would never look at a baby and be like, that's
baby David's baby Kyle I do.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
I'm like yeah, I'd be like, oh, it doesn't look
like a Kyle.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I can't do it.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I think kids grow into their names.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I feel look, am I absolutely one hundred percent certain
on Poppy. I would say I'm like ninety five percent
If it changes. There's a backup Penny, very similar Penny,
Penny like the same.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
It is like I kind of like Penny.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I like Poppy because there's good nicknames out of it,
like popsic and pen or yeah or pops, whereas Penny,
it's just there's not a lot of nicknames.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Pen Pen, I don't know pen pal. Grace could produce
a Grace don't help herself.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
We both looked over at Grace were like, she's going
to come out with something.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I just think of Henny Penny with Henny Penny the
Little I think it's a book or something about a chicken.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I don't know for sure. Okay, so it's Poppy or Penny.
All right, got it, Laura.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
I would love to get your opinion on what France
is doing. So France has had a call to ban child.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Free resorts the entire country.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
Literally, they want to abolish a space that is like
an adult only resort. Like you know, when you go
to click on resort, you're on booking dot com. You're
looking for a little getaway. You can put like adults only.
You can make sure that the place you're going to
is going to be baby free, child free, screaming free,
ween in the pool free, like you can say, I
just want to go as an adult and relax. When
(02:53):
someone think of the children, well yeah, well France has
come out and said we don't think that they should
exist anymore. It said we can't organize society by separating children.
Off from ourselves in the same way that some establishments
don't take dogs. Children aren't troublesome pets, and that is
the stance that they're going by.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I don't think I agree. I mean, I have two kids,
and I also don't agree. Yeah, sometimes I want a
child free vacation.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Look, I know that there are a lot of people
who might think, well, kids should be allowed to be
anywhere the adults are because it's exclusive or it's exclusionary,
not exclusive. But I also think it's fine if you
don't have kids and you want to be at a
hotel that has an adult's only only pool, so that
you're not sharing it with kids doing bombs and having
you know, Like, I just I see how annoying my
(03:42):
kids can be to other people. They're not annoying to me,
and I'm so I love spending my holidays with them.
Do I want to park my entire family next to
a couple that are just trying to have a romantic holiday.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
No. I don't understand France's decision. I don't understand why
it's a problem to have the option there. Like, you're
not making every single resort they're child free, it's just
the option for someone like, for example, I don't have kids.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I go to a lot of resorts that have kids.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Fine, Like I don't always go and click that I
want adults only, But when I'm there, without doubt, every time,
I say, oh, wish we went adults only, like I
for me at my stage of life, when I'm on
a romantic trip with my husband, I don't want a
kid bombing on me.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I don't want them screaming in my ear.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
And sometimes it's okay, but you.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Want to be able to have the option.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I think maybe maybe it's because it sets a precedent right,
or it sets like an expectation, or it leans into
a mindset around it.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Because I know a lot of people have.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Issues with kids on planes, and I'm like, no, sorry,
you don't get to have an issue with kids on planes.
If you sat next to a kid, suck it up.
It's their public transport of the sky, like the kids
need to get from A to B. So I don't
think that we can be as picky in those situations.
But if it's a you're going on vacation and you're
picking your hotel, there's so many other places that you
can choose to have club meds and have kids club
(05:01):
and whatnot.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Just let the single people have their adults.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Only one And what do you I mean going back
to the plane, if you remember talk a little while
ago about them having like a section on the plane
where if.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
You have kids, that's where you book.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
So like the front of the plane is the chaos
and the kids, and you know that if you book
the back of the plane, for example, it might be
child free.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Well, no, it was actually I think it was a
bit deep in that it was Japan who were bringing
out Japan airlines, I think, and it was when a
family books because obviously when you book children, you've got
to put the ages in and so what was going
to happen is that those seats were going to be
marked on a different color so that when you go
and you do seat selection, it pops up where the
kids are around you. And I think that that's a
(05:39):
bit tricky because people get moved, things get changed, and
so you don't want to be then in a situation
as a family where you feel like you're ostracized because
that person sitting next to you didn't want to be
sat next to a child. I just think like that
on a plane I'm like, it's a different rule set.
Everyone's got to get to where they're going, and no
one is more upset when a kid is kicking off
or having a tantrum then the mom and dad who
(06:01):
have to deal with it, like no one.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
But what do you think?
Speaker 5 (06:03):
I mean, go more top level of that. There was
a conversation not about a specific airline. There was just
a conversation about people saying should all airlines bring in
where it's sectioned plane section?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
No?
Speaker 5 (06:13):
No, Like you don't want to pay more to know
that it's not a screaming child. Next year you come
for hours section off.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
This is the family side of the plane and this
is why not though?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
No, I like that because I don't want to be
stuck at the back near the toilet.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
But what if you could have the front the good
area and ask child free people.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
They won't do that the toilet I would It'll be
like the kids need to be closest to the toilet
because they are the ones who are the most in
need all the time.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
I don't know. I think it's silly.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I think that there's maybe we have too many rules
and I think France needs.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Less needs to come n I need to come down now.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
If you listen to the show earlier in the week,
you would have heard that we were speaking about a
couple who went quite viral because they were filmed popping
each other's pimples on the beach, like something that should
be an intimate moment kept for at home.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
No one needs to see that while they're enjoying their
chicken wrap.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Weirdly, I didn't feel as offended by it.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
I think that my I really enjoy trying to squeeze
my husband's pimples, and he really hates it.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
So if we're at the beach and he said, hey, I've.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Got one, can you get it, I wouldn't give him
the opportunity to change his mind.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I'm not offended about it. It's not living rent free
in my head. I didn't. I don't go home and.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
Be like, oh thinking about that beach pimple popping session.
But I just think it's if I was walking past
somebody on the beach having a nice day.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
On their boyfriend's pimple, yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
And then they'll squeezing pussy pimples, I'd be like bro grows,
but like, yeah, I'm not losing sleep.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Do it in your own time total.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Well, actually it got us talking because we were like,
what are some of the personal hygiene things that you
would or wouldn't feel okay with sharing? Like some of
them are really obvious, I think, like toothbrush.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
We're not sharing toothbrushes. I don't know if that's obvious.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Okay, we've put together a little list because not only
are we going to weigh on on this, you can
also weigh in on it wherever you are right now
as well. There are things that some people feel okay
with sharing that other people would rather vomit in their
own mouth than to take that and use someone else's producer.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Grace, you've got the list there.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
Hit us number one, all right, First thing off the
ranks deodorant?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Would you share deodorant with someone else?
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Spray roll on? Obviously, yes, we'd share the spray I
I would. I would. I have no issue with using
someone else's roll on.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
I okay, hear me out, stipulations. I would if it
was my partner, if it was anyone else, I'd only
do it if I really needed it, And I would
roll it over a few times to get rid of
a couple of the top layers and then I'd use it.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
What if it's one of those cream ones.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Yeah, okay, you can just take the top layer off.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
The cream one is probably the where you start to
draw the light. The only problem, though, is is that
if you have forgotten your deodorant and you're asking to
borrow someone's, it's because you ate in a good way.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
So it's not I do that every day work, But
I don't ask for your roll on. I ask for
your spray. I've seen you use a roll on before.
It's my own role on bad.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
We've said sorry, we only have a roll on and
you said I don't care.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I said, too bad for you.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
All right, what's the next go? Razor would share razors fue?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Okay, what if someone shaves their downstairs who huh? Just
his hair? That's the donstairs to.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
That doesn't bother me.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
At all, I think because I write I'm a shaver
then and therefore I probably would be like if someone
wanted to use my razor, I'd be like, do you
know what you're getting self in to? Like?
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Do not?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
You're asking for filled with a lot of dead skin cells. Yeah,
I also think that.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Might be like a safety concern and aaring razors for.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Blood and stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah, butt crack hair as well, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
I'm more considered the blood than the butt crack.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
But okay, continue, Okay, I'm more gross out by razors.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
No, all right, hair brush that hasn't been cleaned.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Yeah, fine, so you're.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Not sharing that with anybody? It's hair.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Well, you've got a hair phobia. I don't have a
hair phobia. I have children who often get knits, and
I know how easily knits are passed around in schools
and everything else. So if my kids are running around
and an other mom's like, oh, I've got a hairbrush,
I'll be like, no, we're good.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
I've done that, I've done this dance before. We're not
doing that. Doesn't bother me.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
No, what about a mascara? Wand would you use someone
else's mascara?
Speaker 5 (10:00):
No?
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I have knit smile.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
No because infection, cross contamination.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Okay, La Laura sweet out about the thing. You're not
supposed to be weirded out about it.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
And she's like, I'll take an infection. Okay.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
What about a foot filer, you know those like parmesan
or heel scrapers.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Parmesan, it looks like a parmesan grater.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Oh sorry, I thought you meant like puma stone like.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
This similar, Yeah, like Palmson cheese.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah, stuff on the to get the callouses off. I
reckon you would use anyone's Nah, No, that's gross.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
If somebody used mine, I probably wouldn't be that weird
about But what.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Situation are you actually sharing those?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
My husband or your mother in law? My mother in
law lives or she lives at home with me, so.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Like a you're making me feel unwell.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
I would like it to be noted that I would
never be in that situation. My heels are immaculate, the
soft as heels.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
I don't need to shave them. Why what do you do?
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Just born that way?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I have this Scalia's heels that right now. I could
probably do it against show. No, I'm not going to.
I could shave them against the brick wall. They are
so dry, it's just actually revolted.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
That's fine, okay.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
Next item, would you share a toenail cutter?
Speaker 5 (11:05):
Like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fine, clips are fine as
long as the tone I was not stuck in there,
you know how sometimes they get stuck in there?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
All right, bar of soap or I'll throw this one
in there a loofer.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
Oh, you can't get tricky.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I feel like families have like a family bar of
soap if they use it. We're a body wash family, yeah,
use But I have a bar of soap that's like
my bar of soap that's in the shower, and no
one else uses it. I'm a traveler with the soap,
so it travels across my body in all of the places,
so no one else needs to use that.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
I don't think we need soap anymore.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
Like, sorry, let me clarify that here first, everyone, I
don't think.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
We need bars of soap anymore.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
I think there's pump action, there's refills, there's body washers.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I don't think I gorne of.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
The days of a standard bar soap. There is nothing
more revolting than when you walk into especially if you're
somewhere public and like a public toilet, there's a bar
of soap that's been sitting there, that's got cracks in
it and brown stuff in it, and like you're more
likely to die from that.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I think I've told you this before, but I still
have this visceral memory of being twelve years old and
walking out of a public toilet and there was a
dried bar of soap, a little soapholder, and this old
lady washing her hands next to me leans over and
she goes jas because it's soap doesn't make it clean.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
And it was so ominous but so true. And I've
never forgotten it, and don't think.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
It's weird how often I speak about it. But every
time I see a bar of soap that's dried out,
I'm like, ah, that was wise wise words.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Anyway, Laura, you've been.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
Through some breakups in your time, mate, Haven't I ever
more than anyone I know?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Actually settle down? No, but that's not a bad thing.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
You dated a lot, Yeah, I kissed a lot of
frogs to find my prince.
Speaker 6 (12:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Do you don't have to be defensive about that.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
It's not a bad thing. I couldn't get a boyfriend.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
That was my problem.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Some of them are nice and were nice.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Some of them were absolutely horrible and useless turds.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
Well, in any of those breakups, did they ever ask
for anything back? Like, you know, when you split up,
you might've lived together, whatever you break up, did you
ever asked them for anything back? Or did they have
ask you for anything back?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I was always the person that walked away from the
relationship and didn't want anything from it. So, like I remember,
I broke up with one of I did the breaking
up as well, so I think I felt a bit guilty.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
We've been together for a few years.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
We had furniture together, we lived together, and I remember
when I broke up with him, I was like, do
you know what you keep everything? I'll take nothing because
I felt so guilty. However, I did go through one
breakup and I took his credit card details and I
may have taken some money, but that's because he owed
me money. And there's a big backstory to that one,
and I think I would have won if it had
gone to court. I think it'll be fun.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
You would not take him to court. Ten years statute limitations,
whatever it's called. You can't see me now, ha ha.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
That also doesn't exist.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Laura's on so many criminal things and she just goes
to spin ten years. No, Okay.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
The backstory to this is this dude he crashed my car.
We'd been together for quite a few years. Because we
were together, I was like, don't worry about paying anything,
I'll just pay it. And then two weeks later I
found out he was cheating on me. So I was like,
you can pay for my car, and he refused to,
so I just deducted it from his credit card through
my business. The end.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Well, the reason I ask is, I mean, that's pretty bad,
but I think this is worse. This happened back in
two thousand and six, but it's making the rounds again,
so it's like it's quite an old story. But there's
this couple in the US that were married for a
really long time and the wife unfortunately got really sick.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
She needed kidney transplants, both.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Kidneys, and she did the transplants and they didn't work
and devastating.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
It was devastating.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
But their marriage was like really under stress because of
the pressure of that, and he was looking after her
and she was unwell and whatever else. So the husband
donated his kidney to his wife to literally save her
life and save the marriage, and amazingly it worked. Fast
forward a little bit and he finds out that she's
been cheating on him, so he gave up a kidney
(14:57):
and she had been cheating.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Oh so then it was rough. Yeah, so in the divorce,
didn't want anything else. He asked for the kidney back.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
No, because you know, no, that seems wild, unethical. You
know that's going to kill her. I understand that cheating
does make you feel a bit different about people, Like
I wanted my money after I found out my.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Ex was cheating on me.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
But if I've given him a kidney, I don't want death.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Well, especially because you only had one.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Only one works?
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Yeah, you come back, did this go through court?
Speaker 5 (15:22):
Like?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
No one, No normal human is going to look at
that situation and be like, oh, yep, cheating divorce.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
I guess you should die for that?
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Give an organ?
Speaker 1 (15:31):
So what?
Speaker 5 (15:32):
He obviously knew that no one was going to award
him a kidney, so he said, either you give me
the kidney or the value of the kidney, and he
put the value at one point five million US dollars,
which I don't even know how where you pull that from,
but interestingly, or actually probably pretty obviously, the court ruled
that any organ may not be exchanged for value.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
But also putting real tickets on yourself.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
If you think one kidney's one point five million, how
much do you think your total self is worth? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
How DoD he break it.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Down organ by organ and put an individual pick the
number from?
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:03):
I think, if you're going to give your organs to someone,
it has to be an altruistic gift that knowing that,
even if the relationship breaks down or whatever happens there,
you've done it because at one time you cared about them.
But it is a bit rich to take a kidney
and also be having an affair at the same time.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Like, that's pretty bad.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
It wasn't simultaneous. She gave it eighteen months and then she.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Had the affair.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
She got better, and then she felt well enough for
an affair. Hey, we've got to live on the phone.
Hey live What did your ex ask for back?
Speaker 4 (16:31):
My ex asked for a bottle of oyster sauce, then
I threw out when we were moving out, and then
when I wouldn't give it back to him, he asked
me to transfer seven dollars to cover it.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
No brand, Why was he so attached to it?
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Really running the mill, Like I don't know I am
or whatever, and probably can't say brand names, but yeah, literally,
just you running the mill oyster sauce.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Hang on.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
To be clear, he asked for nothing else, none.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Of the furniture, the white goods, nothing like sentimental.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
He just wanted the oyster sauce.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Well, to be fair, he did actually want something else back.
