Speaker 2 (00:19):
Good Pickup with Britt Hockley and Laura Ben Radio work
our windows down.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
If my worldris in the dust, only good vibs out
all down. I've don't much, but yeah, I know I'll
big get and what I want.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
It don't matter where.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
This is the pickup, Hi guys, It's the Pickup with
Britt Hockeley and Laura Ben.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Welcome back. Oh do you know you're still in cloud nine?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Well I was just about to say yes, but I'm
riding some rollercoaster waves.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
So I got married last week.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
If you guys are just catching up to speed, I
got back to love my life.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Ben.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
He is here in Australia with me. I say that
because he lives in Italy. He's here with me for
another couple of weeks.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
But it's a.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Funny wave, like I've heard people talk about the low
that you can get. Like it's like, I guess, the
wedding equivalent of baby blues, Like when you're on a
hype for so long looking forward to and then your
hormones drop, and then the energy drops and you're exhausted
and your stress and you've got nothing to like plan
or look forward to any more. Everyone says, you go
on this low and I feel like I'm hitting it.
And I said to Ben, I feel really sad and
(01:24):
like really down, and you know it's over this thing
that you put on this pedestal and.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Like it's all you think about for a year. You're like, no,
I just have the marriage to look forward to. Oh gosh,
Like now we just have to like spend time with other.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
I was like, what have you.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Done with your wedding dress? Because for anyone who hasn't
seen it, Print's wedding dress was the single handedly the
biggest wedding dress I have ever seen in my entire life.
It was large, she might get Your aisle was four
meters across and the wedding dress train touched either side.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
I had to custom build the aisle. Yeah they didn't yourself.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Yeah no one helped you. You did it.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yeah, no, by yourself in the morning of the wedding,
because you just really are a can do attitude kind
of gat.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
It was over in Bali, but we did in advance.
I said, look, I think we need to do some measurements.
Because I'm not convinced I'm going to fit down the
aisle with my dress, and I had to send them
my dress and my mum and dad both walked me
down the aisle on either side, so that like added
to the width anyway. They built a four meter wine
aisle and I only just fit down. I leave in
a two bedroom apartment. My dress takes up my living room.
It's insane.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Well, look, the wedding did go off without a hitch.
No thanks true no, thanks.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
To my husband who tried to give it away.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
To all of the media.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
The day of My husband, Matt has been leaking things
on his podcast, and usually we're on the same page
with things that is okay for him to talk about
all things that I talk about on.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
The radio show.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
That he's really crossed the line, and Britt, I'm going
to tell you about it next.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
It's the pickup on kiss Now. Britt, you and I have.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Been doing a podcast together, Life on Car podcast or.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Anyone wants to go and listen.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
We've been doing this together for six years, right, and
I think between you and I we have a pretty
good gauge on what is or isn't appropriate to share
in terms of storytelling because.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I'd say a perfect gauge.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah, Like, I you know my husband and he also
has a podcast, and like sometimes we tell personal stories,
whether it be about parenting or it be about what's
happened in our lives. And Matt and I are pretty
much always on the same page. Like I don't think
I've ever crossed a line in sharing a story that
he wasn't okay with.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
No, And I think this might surprise a lot of
people because our job is to talk. We do five
radio shows a week and we do three podcasts a week.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
People think we share everything. We absolutely don't.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Like there are so many things that we know for
our relationships or our friendships, like where the line totally
or for.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Like privacy, sometimes it's not your own story and so
like you're not going to share someone else's secrets. But recently,
I mean we were talking about it and I was
telling I was telling you, guys, if you were listening
the other week, how Matt and I have chosen our
third baby's baby name.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Oh yeah, but you wouldn't actually tell us.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
You kept beeping it out.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
We beat it out because like I just assumed that
a baby name unless you've had a conversation with your
partner unless you both have mutually agreed that you're not
going to tell peop people or that you are going
to tell people. I feel like that that's the decision
you come to together. And now, for reference, I'm not
saying like tell your friends or tell your mom or
tell you. I'm talking about like talking about it on
(04:19):
a podcast or saying it on a national radio show.
I feel like that's one of those things that the
line you should just kind of check and make sure
everyone's okay with.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yeah, one hundred percent agree.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
So I alluded to the fact that we've chosen a name,
first name, middle name, and the first name starts with P,
and we were pretty certain on that. I receive a
message whilst we're away and BALI for your wedding bread
by a listener who doesn't listen to our podcast, who
doesn't listen to this radio show, but she listens to
Matt's podcast, and she said, I just wanted to say
(04:51):
the name Poppy is so cute.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
I think you've chosen a great name.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
And I was like, I'm sorry, what, And then she goes, oh,
was Matt not meant to say it on the podcast?
Speaker 4 (05:00):
I then went.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Through the transcript of two doting dads, and Matt not
only did he say the name that we actually chose,
he don't your onborn baby.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
It gets it worse, so he dogs our unbond baby.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Now everyone, in case you're curious, we're calling it poppy.
It's it's not a pick up exclusive.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
So is that out?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Now?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
It's out pop star, it's out popped up poppy.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
I've got popped up.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
I like that. Yeah, cute, lollipop, popsicle cute. I don't
call my dad. I love that.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Poppy means we've got a Marley, a Lola, and a Poppy,
and I feel like those names fit beautifully together. What
happens if it comes out she comes out sorry, and
it doesn't look like a poppy, and you're like, you're
not poppy. I just feel like babies all look weird anyway.
I feel like they could be anything.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
So just stick to it.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Like what baby came out and looked like a David
it grew into that name or.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
An interesting example.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Yeah, okay, continue, No, I get it, like Frank baby.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
So I have something to tell you as well, and
that is is that there were more things that my
husband has leaked recently. So you made it very clear.
I mean, we didn't talk about it on the show.
We didn't talk about it on the pod. We have
not spoken about it anywhere. And that was the details
surrounding your wedding. We all went to Bali on a
seat mission to get Brit hitched.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Everyone really, everyone was well aware.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Yeah, Britt was posting from Italy pretending she was in Europe.
I was also on a work trip in Bali, so
I had said I was over there for work and
managed to kind of, you know, fly under the radar.
Our friends, all the everyone who's from Australia that was
traveling over there all pretended as though they were not
in Bali.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
No, my husband, my husband got on two doting dads
and said on his podcast, oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
We're going over to Bali for.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
BRIT's wedding the day what the day.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Of your wedding?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
That came out, So that came out at six am in.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Is he that thirsty for a headline? Do you know
what he said? He's like, you guys, get everything he goes.
I even have to give my baby gender reveals to
the pickup. He's like, give me this the wedding is.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Not your fair, but the wedding doesn't come into the
baby gender reveal. No, it was an honest mistake and
the problem was to be out the location, give coordinates
like time, Friends, schedule Pandaura Estate.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Pandal Clip Estate, guest list. Yeah, he put a drop
and that was just me assurance on the left wing. No,
he yeah, he was devastated.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
So once again, someone one of his listeners slid into
my DMS.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
And was like, hey, was Matt meant.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
To give away the fact that you guys are all
over there for its wedding, which I said, no, No,
he was it. He made a mistake because he had
pre recorded that episode and so when he looked at
the dates, he just assumed that it was going to
be retrospective, that your wedding would have already happened and
it would have been okay. He didn't realize it was
(07:39):
the day.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
I must admit, that would have been very hard to
cross check your release date with the wedding dates.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Yeah, that's asking a lot.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Yeah, that's a big cost, a lot of data there
to go through.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Mat he was so sad. I don't think it was sad.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
My wedding got doxed. Baby's name got doxed. Think about
the children.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
To be fair.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
He was almost in tears when he realized and he
had the he had the podcast taken down straight away.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Several thousand people had already listened. But that's okay.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Put your wedding invites out for Matt, put them on
the stoop.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Yeah, I'll put the baby out for him. Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
So if you're just catching up all of us here
at the pick up went over to Barley last.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Week for my wedding. It was like my secret little
squirrel wedding. We ran away. It was wonderful.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
It was beautiful as we just established not that secret,
but you know, not that secret thanks to my husband.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
But I feel like in Bali there are certain rules
that just like everyone knows, certain things that you have
to follow. You don't drink the tapewater ever, you always
wear a helmet if you ride a scooter, and you'd
be extra cautious around the monkeys because the monkeys are everywhere.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Anyone who goes to Bali and goes anywhere near where
the monkeys are has a monkey story, like everyone does.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
It's just part and parcel of going to Barley.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
There is a monkey still running around Barley somewhere with
my visa line.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
There is a monkey wearing my visit and it took
it out of your mouth. You should see them.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
But producer, Grace, you've been to Bali before, right, you
should know the rules I do.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
What happened to you, Grace?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
A monkey came and ripped my phone out of my
hand and stole it.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Okay, you're making that sound a little bit too easy.
You went into like a monkey temple.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Okay, So just to set it up a little bit,
I have had not one, but two close encounters with
monkeys the last two times I've been to Bali.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Both times I was bitten. I was viciously attacked.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
You attacked.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I vowed, never again will I go to a monkey
forest in Bali.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
I did not realize that monkeys aren't just in monkey.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Forests, they also live in print like majority of the temples.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
So we went to a temple, we did some sightseeing,
and a large monkey came up to me and just
stole it from that.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
What were you doing waving your phone around? Like, well,
how did I come? How did it come up and take?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Grace, is there filming content? Job?
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Was holding it.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I was looking at something on my phone and then
someone called out my name and I dropped my hand
and looked away.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Oh, and he just took it straight.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
It was it was like he was casing me.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
He looked at me when this woman is a chump
and I'm going to take her phone.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
So you didn't see he was there like he was
like a spy came out of nowhere like monkeys.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I don't believe this one second. Grace knew that there
were monkeys all around her.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
I saw the video.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Yeah, there were a lot of monkeys.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Okay, so you just let your guard down.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
I let my guard down.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
You're a bit cocky, yes, So I was like, I'm
not going to get a bit in this time.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
I'm going to be so good.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
I'll give them one thousand dollar iPhone. And so what
was the monkey's attitude?
Speaker 5 (10:34):
Like like, oh, so cavalier.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
So he not like a bit cheeky, like a bit cheeky.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
He took my screen protector off.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
He's like, I'll show you.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
He went, you know what, I have a posable thumbs
and I'm going to use them.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Peeled that screen protector off. He's like trying to crack.
He's trying to crack the pass code.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I saw this because it was uploaded onto Instagram. Your
friend who was there was filming it as well and
managed to capture the whole thing as it was going down.
You looking quite concerned, the phone being taken off into
the forest, and everyone everyone was just standing around filming
the phone being taken away, but not helping.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Such a crowd.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I've never been like so famous. All these people were like, wow,
look at this loser, got a phone stolen. I'm in
a film it I'm probably on everyone's TikTok.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
And then one of the monkey handlers or the I
don't even know what is there.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
They're like in unofficial zookib. They just they control the
monkeys in the temples.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
And he managed to get the phone back and it
all was good in the world.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
It was good. He gave me a bit of a
talking to. He was like, be careful.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
He actually I.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Saw that he looked at you like you're the biggest idiot,
and he was just like.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Keep your phone on you Like, I feel like everyone
has a story like this.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I when I was in Bali many many moons ago,
we went to the monkey temple and there was a
little monkey and it was so cute. It was like
a baby monkey that had clearly just ventured away from
its mum. And it was sitting on a bag of
powdered concrete and it was eating powdered concrete. I was like,
and this is back in the day when you couldn't
good so I know. I was like, the poor thing's gonna.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Die because when you mix it with water.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yeah, And so I wanted to help it because I
care about amimals. I was like, you, poor little thing.
So this really over a decade ago. You used to
be able to take bananas into the monkey forest and
you could feed them. They obviously don't do that anymore
because it didn't end well for a lot of people.
So I had a couple of bananas and I gave one.
I tried to take the concrete away and hand the
(12:22):
banana over, thought that'd be a more desirable dish. Anyway,
the little monkey went absolutely feral, pushed the banana out
of my hand, grabbed onto my shirt, and bit straight
through my t shirt into my stomach. And I just
was like, okay, well I probably should get a raby shop.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Two weeks later, I traveled back, but in Bali they're
actually quite hard to come across, and so sometimes if
they're at a low on stock, you've got to fly
to Singapore. And I was like, I'm not flying to
Singapore to get a raby shop. I'll just get it
when I get home.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Yeah, fair for rabies, it's probably worth a.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Flight, Yeah, one hundred percent. It's so expensive, though.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
So is dying from rabies. That also sucks.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Laura.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
I was in my twenties and I was, you know,
I was careless and reckless. So I got home to Australia,
I book myself straight in, went to the GP, sat
down and said I got be in by a monkey
And she was like, oh yeah, when I was like
two weeks ago.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
She goes, you can't get a raby shot.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Now you're on the you're outside of the time frame
that you needed in You're gonna die. And something I
didn't know about rabies he's awarding to everyone. Apparently the
side effects of it can present themselves in any time
up to ten years after being exposed, so you can
just spontaneously go rabid. Eight years after being bitten by
a monkey in Balley, how.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Long ago was that because a lot of things are
making sense to me right now. I think it was
ten years. I think I'm in the clue. I think
you're in the customer. I think I'm in the clue.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
So it's actually okay, there's no there's no rabies in
the monkeys in BALI.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Well, so my husband now Ben, so he's spin to
Balley before, but he's still you know, he's swears and
they don't spend as much time over there as we have.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
He almost died by a monkey this trip. We were like,
he has life insurance. We were in each.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Other's villa in Abula, sorry, in opposite rooms that weren't attached,
and we could see glass windows right, and that was outside,
so there's a little hallway between us. And I see
Ben walk out of his little glass door, walk down
outside with some fruit in his hand, and I'm like,
is he going to sit by the pool to eat?
Speaker 4 (14:08):
And then I hear him go here, monkey monkey, And
I was like what, and he's like monkey, monkey, monkey. Anyway.
I look out and.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
It's not a cute little baby monkey. It's one of
those big boys with a mustache. He had like a
full mustache that was going up. Anyway, Ben's trying to
Ben's trying to make a peace offering to him.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
He's holding out fruit and this monkey is sitting up.
They'll mess you up. Launches.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
This monkey is chasing Ben and it's like an ape.
It's like a gorilla chasing him. Ben realizes very quickly
that he's made a gray bearer. He throws the fruit
and I was like, run bend, but I closed my
door to protect myself.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
And through the glass I say, run band quick.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
This thing's catching him.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
He jumps inside his door, closes the glass as it
hits the glass. It was like, what what was that
movie where the monkeys will try and.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Eat the Jamanji?
Speaker 5 (14:53):
The apes planet.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Planet of the Apes.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Anyway, I had to give Ben a talking to and
I was like, these guys aren't your friends.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Like they're cute, but you could die here. This is
your warning to anyone going to Balley.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
I mean, everyone.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Knows this is not going to come as as a
surprise for anyone. The monkeys are not that friendly. Stay
away from them now, Britt. We've obviously just come back
from a trip to Bali for your wedding. As we
Wedding of the Century, I feel like we're gonna be
talking about it every day for the next forever until
we exhausted all the content.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Oh yeah, I haven't even started posting photos.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Just you wait.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Okay, Well, one thing I have done, and this is
so unlike me, and I think I already know which
version of this person you're going to be.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
But I'm curious.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I came home from this trip with sixty kilos worth
of luggage because there was me, my husband, and our
two kids. Now that is three entire suitcases. I am
the sort of person that normally gets home from a
holiday and it takes me around a month to fully
unpack and fully get all the clothes washed out of
the suitcase and get them all put away.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
We arrived home on Sunday night.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Sunday morning, I woke up and I was like, no,
I'm not going to be that person this time. I
am going to be the person that fully unpacks, washes
every load, and puts them away in the wardrobe. It
took me the whole day, mind you, an entire day.
I feel like I must have gotten distracted on my
phone several times.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I'm one hundred percent you've gotten distracted, But it made
me realize.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Firstly, I want to know which one you are.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
And secondly, it made me realize that there's always two
types of people that are traveling. There's the person that
organizes the trip, the personality A type, the people that
book the tickets, they book the restaurants, they book the itinery,
they unpack their suitcase when they arrive on holidays. And
there's the personality B types, which are me and they're
just lucky that they've got a visa planned and they.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Rock up with a ticket. One hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
I am person B, but my husband now has forced
me to be person A because he's more person B
than I thought was possible.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
I didn't wear pants to the wedding. That's how person
B is.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
This is weaponized in competence, when you just refuse to
do something so the other person has to.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Yeah, yeah, he didn't even have your suit I okay,
you came home with sixty I'm embarrassed to admit this,
Ben and I came home with ninety two killers. We
have only two people, Yeah no, but we had wedding
dresses and like grooms and stuff.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
And how many suitcases is that?
Speaker 3 (17:10):
We had six suitcases and a wedding dress and a
little carry on luggage and then backpacks.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Sorry, how many Ben's own?
Speaker 5 (17:17):
He doesn't believe it.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
So we've really detalked. We're not talking about that anymore.
Who cares about personality? B you had ninety two kilos?
Speaker 4 (17:25):
Yep, yeah, I'm not even embarrassed. Whatever I'm leaning into it. Yeah,
so winning. I don't usually travel with that much.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
But what I will say is sometimes I don't unpack
because I go over to.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
See my film.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Say Ben, like every eight weeks he lives overseas. Sometimes
I just don't unpack for eight months. My suitcase stays
there for two months. Sorry, suitcase stays there, and then
I just.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Zip it back up and go.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
I did test unpacking, but Ben is the same, and
you cannot have two people together that are the same.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
It doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
So I was forcing me to be a better person,
but he's not coming along with me, which I.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Don't think is fare Like.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
This is why in your own wedding vows, when you said, like,
you make me a better person, he makes you one,
I mean I hope you also made him well.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
In my wedding vows, I was like, I hope to
make you the best version you can be.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
I was like subliminal messages in mybile.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
The thing that made me realize this is because my
sister came over as well. And now my sister is
so fundamentally a type a personality that when we travel together,
I become a complete passenger princess. I don't book a thing,
I don't look at any restaurants, I don't bother because
I kind of feel as though one she likes being
in control, so she likes to know exactly what's going on,
(18:33):
but also she's doing it anyway, So I'm like you,
if that's gonna make you feel good about it, you
go ahead. She's the type of person that arrives at
midnight and we'll get to the hotel and we'll unpack
every single thing in their suitcase into the wardrobe.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
So a sociopath, maybe yeah, she will do the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
And I am the person that lives out of a
suitcase for the entire week, and then I just rummage
around trying to put it all back in.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Why was it the hang stuff up they do?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
The one and only time I have ever done this
where I put things into the wardrobe, I was overseas
in Fiji, my husband and I we traveled and I
was like, don know what would be so nice to
hang my dresses up because I'm going to be that
person personality a guess who left all her dresses in
PJ in a wardrobe absolutely shure.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
And I never got them back.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Okay, I feel like I could save this for a
whole nother day, but I'll throw it in whatever, go
for it.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
So just to really double down on like the difference
between Ben and I.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
The only thing I asked Ben to plan basically for
the wedding was after.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
We got married.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
We had two days in Bali for out the mini honeymoon,
that's it, two.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Days before we had to come back here for work.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
I said, Ben, can you just book us those two
nights somewhere nice, just like for the mini honeymoon?
Speaker 4 (19:39):
On it.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
This is like months and months months ago. Do you
know when he booked the day after the wedding. Oh no,
he didn't book We were one hour away from checking
out to go to the next hotel. In my head,
I was like, I'll push it as long as I
can to see when he does it.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
How long one hour to go?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
And one of our grooms men came up and said, hey,
I understand you gotta know where to go, say as
a wedding present.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
I've booked it for you.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
So within the one hour, Ben was like, Babe, stop
pressuring me like you, if you refuse to do something
long enough, it always gets done for you.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Terrible. That's his proble.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Terrible technique, and that probably doesn't end in a happy marriage.
But good luck.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Love you Ben, Love you Ben. Oh, I mean if
we'll end in a hay Bes check there. Okay, Benny
is in the room.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
No, no, my friend, Oh my gosh, we must go
because Britain. Ben have to get a marriage counseling already,
they've only been together.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Ben's trying to get a hold of a microphone. Well,
thanks for listening. We will be back tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Good Pickup with Britt Hockley and Laura Ben Radio work
our windows down.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
If my worldris in the dust, only good vibs out
all down. I've don't much, but yeah, I know I'll
big get and what I want.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
It don't matter where.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
This is the pickup, Hi guys, It's the Pickup with
Britt Hockeley and Laura Ben.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Welcome back. Oh do you know you're still in cloud nine?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Well I was just about to say yes, but I'm
riding some rollercoaster waves.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
So I got married last week.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
If you guys are just catching up to speed, I
got back to love my life.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Ben.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
He is here in Australia with me. I say that
because he lives in Italy. He's here with me for
another couple of weeks.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
But it's a.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Funny wave, like I've heard people talk about the low
that you can get. Like it's like, I guess, the
wedding equivalent of baby blues, Like when you're on a
hype for so long looking forward to and then your
hormones drop, and then the energy drops and you're exhausted
and your stress and you've got nothing to like plan
or look forward to any more. Everyone says, you go
on this low and I feel like I'm hitting it.
And I said to Ben, I feel really sad and
(01:24):
like really down, and you know it's over this thing
that you put on this pedestal and.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Like it's all you think about for a year. You're like, no,
I just have the marriage to look forward to. Oh gosh,
Like now we just have to like spend time with other.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
I was like, what have you.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Done with your wedding dress? Because for anyone who hasn't
seen it, Print's wedding dress was the single handedly the
biggest wedding dress I have ever seen in my entire life.
It was large, she might get Your aisle was four
meters across and the wedding dress train touched either side.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
I had to custom build the aisle. Yeah they didn't yourself.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Yeah no one helped you. You did it.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yeah, no, by yourself in the morning of the wedding,
because you just really are a can do attitude kind
of gat.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
It was over in Bali, but we did in advance.
I said, look, I think we need to do some measurements.
Because I'm not convinced I'm going to fit down the
aisle with my dress, and I had to send them
my dress and my mum and dad both walked me
down the aisle on either side, so that like added
to the width anyway. They built a four meter wine
aisle and I only just fit down. I leave in
a two bedroom apartment. My dress takes up my living room.
It's insane.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Well, look, the wedding did go off without a hitch.
No thanks true no, thanks.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
To my husband who tried to give it away.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
To all of the media.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
The day of My husband, Matt has been leaking things
on his podcast, and usually we're on the same page
with things that is okay for him to talk about
all things that I talk about on.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
The radio show.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
That he's really crossed the line, and Britt, I'm going
to tell you about it next.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
It's the pickup on kiss Now. Britt, you and I have.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Been doing a podcast together, Life on Car podcast or.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Anyone wants to go and listen.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
We've been doing this together for six years, right, and
I think between you and I we have a pretty
good gauge on what is or isn't appropriate to share
in terms of storytelling because.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I'd say a perfect gauge.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah, Like, I you know my husband and he also
has a podcast, and like sometimes we tell personal stories,
whether it be about parenting or it be about what's
happened in our lives. And Matt and I are pretty
much always on the same page. Like I don't think
I've ever crossed a line in sharing a story that
he wasn't okay with.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
No, And I think this might surprise a lot of
people because our job is to talk. We do five
radio shows a week and we do three podcasts a week.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
People think we share everything. We absolutely don't.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Like there are so many things that we know for
our relationships or our friendships, like where the line totally
or for.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Like privacy, sometimes it's not your own story and so
like you're not going to share someone else's secrets. But recently,
I mean we were talking about it and I was
telling I was telling you, guys, if you were listening
the other week, how Matt and I have chosen our
third baby's baby name.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Oh yeah, but you wouldn't actually tell us.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
You kept beeping it out.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
We beat it out because like I just assumed that
a baby name unless you've had a conversation with your
partner unless you both have mutually agreed that you're not
going to tell peop people or that you are going
to tell people. I feel like that that's the decision
you come to together. And now, for reference, I'm not
saying like tell your friends or tell your mom or
tell you. I'm talking about like talking about it on
(04:19):
a podcast or saying it on a national radio show.
I feel like that's one of those things that the
line you should just kind of check and make sure
everyone's okay with.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yeah, one hundred percent agree.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
So I alluded to the fact that we've chosen a name,
first name, middle name, and the first name starts with P,
and we were pretty certain on that. I receive a
message whilst we're away and BALI for your wedding bread
by a listener who doesn't listen to our podcast, who
doesn't listen to this radio show, but she listens to
Matt's podcast, and she said, I just wanted to say
(04:51):
the name Poppy is so cute.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
I think you've chosen a great name.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
And I was like, I'm sorry, what, And then she goes, oh,
was Matt not meant to say it on the podcast?
Speaker 4 (05:00):
I then went.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Through the transcript of two doting dads, and Matt not
only did he say the name that we actually chose,
he don't your onborn baby.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
It gets it worse, so he dogs our unbond baby.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Now everyone, in case you're curious, we're calling it poppy.
It's it's not a pick up exclusive.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
So is that out?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Now?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
It's out pop star, it's out popped up poppy.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
I've got popped up.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
I like that. Yeah, cute, lollipop, popsicle cute. I don't
call my dad. I love that.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Poppy means we've got a Marley, a Lola, and a Poppy,
and I feel like those names fit beautifully together. What
happens if it comes out she comes out sorry, and
it doesn't look like a poppy, and you're like, you're
not poppy. I just feel like babies all look weird anyway.
I feel like they could be anything.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
So just stick to it.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Like what baby came out and looked like a David
it grew into that name or.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
An interesting example.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Yeah, okay, continue, No, I get it, like Frank baby.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
So I have something to tell you as well, and
that is is that there were more things that my
husband has leaked recently. So you made it very clear.
I mean, we didn't talk about it on the show.
We didn't talk about it on the pod. We have
not spoken about it anywhere. And that was the details
surrounding your wedding. We all went to Bali on a
seat mission to get Brit hitched.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Everyone really, everyone was well aware.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Yeah, Britt was posting from Italy pretending she was in Europe.
I was also on a work trip in Bali, so
I had said I was over there for work and
managed to kind of, you know, fly under the radar.
Our friends, all the everyone who's from Australia that was
traveling over there all pretended as though they were not
in Bali.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
No, my husband, my husband got on two doting dads
and said on his podcast, oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
We're going over to Bali for.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
BRIT's wedding the day what the day.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Of your wedding?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
That came out, So that came out at six am in.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Is he that thirsty for a headline? Do you know
what he said? He's like, you guys, get everything he goes.
I even have to give my baby gender reveals to
the pickup. He's like, give me this the wedding is.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Not your fair, but the wedding doesn't come into the
baby gender reveal. No, it was an honest mistake and
the problem was to be out the location, give coordinates
like time, Friends, schedule Pandaura Estate.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Pandal Clip Estate, guest list. Yeah, he put a drop
and that was just me assurance on the left wing. No,
he yeah, he was devastated.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
So once again, someone one of his listeners slid into
my DMS.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
And was like, hey, was Matt meant.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
To give away the fact that you guys are all
over there for its wedding, which I said, no, No,
he was it. He made a mistake because he had
pre recorded that episode and so when he looked at
the dates, he just assumed that it was going to
be retrospective, that your wedding would have already happened and
it would have been okay. He didn't realize it was
(07:39):
the day.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
I must admit, that would have been very hard to
cross check your release date with the wedding dates.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Yeah, that's asking a lot.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Yeah, that's a big cost, a lot of data there
to go through.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Mat he was so sad. I don't think it was sad.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
My wedding got doxed. Baby's name got doxed. Think about
the children.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
To be fair.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
He was almost in tears when he realized and he
had the he had the podcast taken down straight away.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Several thousand people had already listened. But that's okay.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Put your wedding invites out for Matt, put them on
the stoop.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Yeah, I'll put the baby out for him. Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
So if you're just catching up all of us here
at the pick up went over to Barley last.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Week for my wedding. It was like my secret little
squirrel wedding. We ran away. It was wonderful.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
It was beautiful as we just established not that secret,
but you know, not that secret thanks to my husband.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
But I feel like in Bali there are certain rules
that just like everyone knows, certain things that you have
to follow. You don't drink the tapewater ever, you always
wear a helmet if you ride a scooter, and you'd
be extra cautious around the monkeys because the monkeys are everywhere.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Anyone who goes to Bali and goes anywhere near where
the monkeys are has a monkey story, like everyone does.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
It's just part and parcel of going to Barley.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
There is a monkey still running around Barley somewhere with
my visa line.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
There is a monkey wearing my visit and it took
it out of your mouth. You should see them.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
But producer, Grace, you've been to Bali before, right, you
should know the rules I do.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
What happened to you, Grace?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
A monkey came and ripped my phone out of my
hand and stole it.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Okay, you're making that sound a little bit too easy.
You went into like a monkey temple.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Okay, So just to set it up a little bit,
I have had not one, but two close encounters with
monkeys the last two times I've been to Bali.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Both times I was bitten. I was viciously attacked.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
You attacked.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I vowed, never again will I go to a monkey
forest in Bali.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
I did not realize that monkeys aren't just in monkey.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Forests, they also live in print like majority of the temples.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
So we went to a temple, we did some sightseeing,
and a large monkey came up to me and just
stole it from that.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
What were you doing waving your phone around? Like, well,
how did I come? How did it come up and take?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Grace, is there filming content? Job?
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Was holding it.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I was looking at something on my phone and then
someone called out my name and I dropped my hand
and looked away.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Oh, and he just took it straight.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
It was it was like he was casing me.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
He looked at me when this woman is a chump
and I'm going to take her phone.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
So you didn't see he was there like he was
like a spy came out of nowhere like monkeys.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I don't believe this one second. Grace knew that there
were monkeys all around her.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
I saw the video.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Yeah, there were a lot of monkeys.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Okay, so you just let your guard down.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
I let my guard down.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
You're a bit cocky, yes, So I was like, I'm
not going to get a bit in this time.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
I'm going to be so good.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
I'll give them one thousand dollar iPhone. And so what
was the monkey's attitude?
Speaker 5 (10:34):
Like like, oh, so cavalier.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
So he not like a bit cheeky, like a bit cheeky.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
He took my screen protector off.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
He's like, I'll show you.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
He went, you know what, I have a posable thumbs
and I'm going to use them.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Peeled that screen protector off. He's like trying to crack.
He's trying to crack the pass code.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I saw this because it was uploaded onto Instagram. Your
friend who was there was filming it as well and
managed to capture the whole thing as it was going down.
You looking quite concerned, the phone being taken off into
the forest, and everyone everyone was just standing around filming
the phone being taken away, but not helping.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Such a crowd.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I've never been like so famous. All these people were like, wow,
look at this loser, got a phone stolen. I'm in
a film it I'm probably on everyone's TikTok.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
And then one of the monkey handlers or the I
don't even know what is there.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
They're like in unofficial zookib. They just they control the
monkeys in the temples.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
And he managed to get the phone back and it
all was good in the world.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
It was good. He gave me a bit of a
talking to. He was like, be careful.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
He actually I.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Saw that he looked at you like you're the biggest idiot,
and he was just like.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Keep your phone on you Like, I feel like everyone
has a story like this.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I when I was in Bali many many moons ago,
we went to the monkey temple and there was a
little monkey and it was so cute. It was like
a baby monkey that had clearly just ventured away from
its mum. And it was sitting on a bag of
powdered concrete and it was eating powdered concrete. I was like,
and this is back in the day when you couldn't
good so I know. I was like, the poor thing's gonna.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Die because when you mix it with water.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yeah, And so I wanted to help it because I
care about amimals. I was like, you, poor little thing.
So this really over a decade ago. You used to
be able to take bananas into the monkey forest and
you could feed them. They obviously don't do that anymore
because it didn't end well for a lot of people.
So I had a couple of bananas and I gave one.
I tried to take the concrete away and hand the
(12:22):
banana over, thought that'd be a more desirable dish. Anyway,
the little monkey went absolutely feral, pushed the banana out
of my hand, grabbed onto my shirt, and bit straight
through my t shirt into my stomach. And I just
was like, okay, well I probably should get a raby shop.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Two weeks later, I traveled back, but in Bali they're
actually quite hard to come across, and so sometimes if
they're at a low on stock, you've got to fly
to Singapore. And I was like, I'm not flying to
Singapore to get a raby shop. I'll just get it
when I get home.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Yeah, fair for rabies, it's probably worth a.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Flight, Yeah, one hundred percent. It's so expensive, though.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
So is dying from rabies. That also sucks.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Laura.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
I was in my twenties and I was, you know,
I was careless and reckless. So I got home to Australia,
I book myself straight in, went to the GP, sat
down and said I got be in by a monkey
And she was like, oh yeah, when I was like
two weeks ago.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
She goes, you can't get a raby shot.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Now you're on the you're outside of the time frame
that you needed in You're gonna die. And something I
didn't know about rabies he's awarding to everyone. Apparently the
side effects of it can present themselves in any time
up to ten years after being exposed, so you can
just spontaneously go rabid. Eight years after being bitten by
a monkey in Balley, how.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Long ago was that because a lot of things are
making sense to me right now. I think it was
ten years. I think I'm in the clue. I think
you're in the customer. I think I'm in the clue.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
So it's actually okay, there's no there's no rabies in
the monkeys in BALI.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Well, so my husband now Ben, so he's spin to
Balley before, but he's still you know, he's swears and
they don't spend as much time over there as we have.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
He almost died by a monkey this trip. We were like,
he has life insurance. We were in each.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Other's villa in Abula, sorry, in opposite rooms that weren't attached,
and we could see glass windows right, and that was outside,
so there's a little hallway between us. And I see
Ben walk out of his little glass door, walk down
outside with some fruit in his hand, and I'm like,
is he going to sit by the pool to eat?
Speaker 4 (14:08):
And then I hear him go here, monkey monkey, And
I was like what, and he's like monkey, monkey, monkey. Anyway.
I look out and.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
It's not a cute little baby monkey. It's one of
those big boys with a mustache. He had like a
full mustache that was going up. Anyway, Ben's trying to
Ben's trying to make a peace offering to him.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
He's holding out fruit and this monkey is sitting up.
They'll mess you up. Launches.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
This monkey is chasing Ben and it's like an ape.
It's like a gorilla chasing him. Ben realizes very quickly
that he's made a gray bearer. He throws the fruit
and I was like, run bend, but I closed my
door to protect myself.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
And through the glass I say, run band quick.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
This thing's catching him.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
He jumps inside his door, closes the glass as it
hits the glass. It was like, what what was that
movie where the monkeys will try and.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Eat the Jamanji?
Speaker 5 (14:53):
The apes planet.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Planet of the Apes.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Anyway, I had to give Ben a talking to and
I was like, these guys aren't your friends.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Like they're cute, but you could die here. This is
your warning to anyone going to Balley.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
I mean, everyone.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Knows this is not going to come as as a
surprise for anyone. The monkeys are not that friendly. Stay
away from them now, Britt. We've obviously just come back
from a trip to Bali for your wedding. As we
Wedding of the Century, I feel like we're gonna be
talking about it every day for the next forever until
we exhausted all the content.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Oh yeah, I haven't even started posting photos.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Just you wait.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Okay, Well, one thing I have done, and this is
so unlike me, and I think I already know which
version of this person you're going to be.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
But I'm curious.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I came home from this trip with sixty kilos worth
of luggage because there was me, my husband, and our
two kids. Now that is three entire suitcases. I am
the sort of person that normally gets home from a
holiday and it takes me around a month to fully
unpack and fully get all the clothes washed out of
the suitcase and get them all put away.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
We arrived home on Sunday night.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Sunday morning, I woke up and I was like, no,
I'm not going to be that person this time. I
am going to be the person that fully unpacks, washes
every load, and puts them away in the wardrobe. It
took me the whole day, mind you, an entire day.
I feel like I must have gotten distracted on my
phone several times.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I'm one hundred percent you've gotten distracted, But it made
me realize.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Firstly, I want to know which one you are.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
And secondly, it made me realize that there's always two
types of people that are traveling. There's the person that
organizes the trip, the personality A type, the people that
book the tickets, they book the restaurants, they book the itinery,
they unpack their suitcase when they arrive on holidays. And
there's the personality B types, which are me and they're
just lucky that they've got a visa planned and they.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Rock up with a ticket. One hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
I am person B, but my husband now has forced
me to be person A because he's more person B
than I thought was possible.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
I didn't wear pants to the wedding. That's how person
B is.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
This is weaponized in competence, when you just refuse to
do something so the other person has to.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Yeah, yeah, he didn't even have your suit I okay,
you came home with sixty I'm embarrassed to admit this,
Ben and I came home with ninety two killers. We
have only two people, Yeah no, but we had wedding
dresses and like grooms and stuff.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
And how many suitcases is that?
Speaker 3 (17:10):
We had six suitcases and a wedding dress and a
little carry on luggage and then backpacks.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Sorry, how many Ben's own?
Speaker 5 (17:17):
He doesn't believe it.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
So we've really detalked. We're not talking about that anymore.
Who cares about personality? B you had ninety two kilos?
Speaker 4 (17:25):
Yep, yeah, I'm not even embarrassed. Whatever I'm leaning into it. Yeah,
so winning. I don't usually travel with that much.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
But what I will say is sometimes I don't unpack
because I go over to.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
See my film.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Say Ben, like every eight weeks he lives overseas. Sometimes
I just don't unpack for eight months. My suitcase stays
there for two months. Sorry, suitcase stays there, and then
I just.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Zip it back up and go.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
I did test unpacking, but Ben is the same, and
you cannot have two people together that are the same.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
It doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
So I was forcing me to be a better person,
but he's not coming along with me, which I.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Don't think is fare Like.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
This is why in your own wedding vows, when you said, like,
you make me a better person, he makes you one,
I mean I hope you also made him well.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
In my wedding vows, I was like, I hope to
make you the best version you can be.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
I was like subliminal messages in mybile.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
The thing that made me realize this is because my
sister came over as well. And now my sister is
so fundamentally a type a personality that when we travel together,
I become a complete passenger princess. I don't book a thing,
I don't look at any restaurants, I don't bother because
I kind of feel as though one she likes being
in control, so she likes to know exactly what's going on,
(18:33):
but also she's doing it anyway, So I'm like you,
if that's gonna make you feel good about it, you
go ahead. She's the type of person that arrives at
midnight and we'll get to the hotel and we'll unpack
every single thing in their suitcase into the wardrobe.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
So a sociopath, maybe yeah, she will do the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
And I am the person that lives out of a
suitcase for the entire week, and then I just rummage
around trying to put it all back in.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Why was it the hang stuff up they do?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
The one and only time I have ever done this
where I put things into the wardrobe, I was overseas
in Fiji, my husband and I we traveled and I
was like, don know what would be so nice to
hang my dresses up because I'm going to be that
person personality a guess who left all her dresses in
PJ in a wardrobe absolutely shure.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
And I never got them back.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Okay, I feel like I could save this for a
whole nother day, but I'll throw it in whatever, go
for it.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
So just to really double down on like the difference
between Ben and I.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
The only thing I asked Ben to plan basically for
the wedding was after.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
We got married.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
We had two days in Bali for out the mini honeymoon,
that's it, two.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Days before we had to come back here for work.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
I said, Ben, can you just book us those two
nights somewhere nice, just like for the mini honeymoon?
Speaker 4 (19:39):
On it.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
This is like months and months months ago. Do you
know when he booked the day after the wedding. Oh no,
he didn't book We were one hour away from checking
out to go to the next hotel. In my head,
I was like, I'll push it as long as I
can to see when he does it.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
How long one hour to go?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
And one of our grooms men came up and said, hey,
I understand you gotta know where to go, say as
a wedding present.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
I've booked it for you.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
So within the one hour, Ben was like, Babe, stop
pressuring me like you, if you refuse to do something
long enough, it always gets done for you.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Terrible. That's his proble.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Terrible technique, and that probably doesn't end in a happy marriage.
But good luck.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Love you Ben, Love you Ben. Oh, I mean if
we'll end in a hay Bes check there. Okay, Benny
is in the room.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
No, no, my friend, Oh my gosh, we must go
because Britain. Ben have to get a marriage counseling already,
they've only been together.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Ben's trying to get a hold of a microphone. Well,
thanks for listening. We will be back tomorrow.
