What anniversary Halloween?
Speaker 1 (00:25):
I was gonna say Monday afternoon, but you know, it's
been a long day.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Evidently longer.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
It's Prettykley and Laura ben and here.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
We are, welcome to Monday. Someone had a big weekend.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I spent my weekend on the Gold Coast. Actually, I
spent my weekend at Movie World with the kids.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I did see that I had a little bit of fomo.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
You had fomo about me going to Movie World.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yeah, there's part of me that loves those roller coasters,
and you don't do it enough. I think as an adult,
if you don't have kids, you go once every like
eight years.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
This is true. I've not been since I was a child.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
But although while we were there, we realized the last
time my husband had been to Movie World. So his
name's Matt Free when he doesn't know he was on
the Bachelor, A really long time ago.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
It's how we met. The last time he was at
Movie World.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
He was there on a single date with another girl
who was also from the Bachelor, at Tara Pavlovuch, and.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
You would have heard all about it third hand. Back
at the batchman, she.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Was like, I came here eight years ago on a
lovely single date. Then he pulled up a photo and
showed me. It was just a photo of him and
Tarret making out. It was so weird. The whole thing
was weird.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I got the shittest dates on The Bachelor. You guys
all got good ones. Our whole salary, I think went
to like the Honey Badger, here's a batch.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
I played foot golf. That's true.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
You kick a soccer ball around a golf course if
you don't know what it is. That was my single date.
I was like, cool, when does the chopper arrive?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I feel like forot golf isn't even a thing. They
just made it up.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
It's not They were like, oh, the golf course is
actually booked out.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I didn't have one very very cute thing that happened though,
when we were at Movie World, Like Marley's five and
she is at an age now where She's like found
her little brave person inside her, and she's like so
excited to go and do things that maybe a year
ago she would have been too scared to do. And
there is like quite big roller coaster there that's in
the kids section, and we've done a few kids activities
with Lola, my youngest, and Molly looked at this roller
(02:07):
coaster and she was like, Dad, I reckon, we should
go on that. And then her and her father went
on this roller coaster four times, like over and over
and over, and she was so excited.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Not a single drop of fear in that kid. She
was just pumped to be there.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, I miss that.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I don't know. I was like I would throw up
on that. I've lost.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
You didn't do it, did you know? You were like, oh,
I better stay with a small child.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Here. I was on a train going around and round
on this tiny little train that went about three kulmeters
an hour, and Lola was like, this is my favorite.
We did that three times.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Hey, speaking of Lola, you have a pretty special visitor
coming to your house tonight. I hear I do, I do.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Tonight is the big night in the Johnson household. A
fairy is visiting us.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Oh, that's some ambiguous. It's ambiguous.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I'll tell you all about it next.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Now, something very big, very exciting is happening in the
Johnson household tonight.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Oh please do tell me.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
No, you know, you know, and it just shows I
don't get out much.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
You're gonna have intimacy. No wrong night, No, that's wrong.
That's friend Thursday.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Yes, that's a Monday. Who's doing it on a Monday?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Not you?
Speaker 3 (03:09):
No? No, No.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
What is happening though, is I've spoken about it before.
My youngest daughter, her name's Lola. She's four years old. Controversially,
Lola still has her dummy at nighttime. Now, I know
that there's going to be parents in the car across
the country who gasp at the audacity that a four
year old still has a dummy.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I know, I know, she is actually pretty wild.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
I've tried so hard to take it off her, and
I don't want people to think that this is just
like a lame excuse. We did six weeks of no
Dummy last year, and it was literally the worst six
weeks of my entire life.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
That I caved and I gave it back to us.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Everyone says they move on and they get past it
and they forget about it. She did not. She did.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
She's like an elephant. She never forgets.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
She had such a personality switch that she went from
being this like happy, loving, kind little kid chucky doll,
literally like the devil spawn. She would just scream all
the time. And the thing is, and what I've realized
is it has always been her one and only thing
to soothe her. And for other parents that have you know,
(04:14):
little kids, they might have a pinky or a flannel
or a toy that they've had since they were born.
That's like their thing that they carry around. And I
see so many four year olds who still have their
like favorite toy that they go to bed with at nighttime.
Lola's never gotten attached to a toy. It's her dummy.
She's at the point where she's like a dummy connoisseur.
She'll see other kids in the park and she'd be like, hey, mom,
(04:36):
that's a nice dummy.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
She'll point them.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Out, admiring the dummies from a distance. That's weird. If
you're old enough to be like checking out of the dummies,
you're too old to have the dummy.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yeah, she only has it at nighttime when she's going
to bed, and then we take it off her in
her sleep, so it's literally just to get her asleep.
But we are at the point now where because she's
four years old, the dentist is like, you're out an age.
It's got to go or it's gonna change her.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
H It's pretty intense. So what are you doing about this?
Because who's the visitor coming tonight?
Speaker 3 (05:05):
The dummy Fairy. We're at dummy Fairy stage.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
And this has been a long process because unlike Christmas
or Easter, the other visitors have like very defined dates
when they arrive, the dummy Fairy is kind of like
the tooth Fairy.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
It's a little bit more ambiguous. Actually, no, the tooth
Fairy is pretty defined you she knows where she's coming.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
So the Dummy Fairy, for us, we haven't really known
when to set the day. And we led it up
to Lula a little bit and then on the weekend
she was like, Mum, I think the dummy Fairy should come.
She's like, I'm ready, and so she was like in
four sleeps, so we've done the.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Four sleep to count down.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Didn't sleep come from she just randomly made it up
So anyway, we got to the forll sleep mark. Last
night was her last night with the dummy. I laid
down next to her own bed and I gave it
to her and I said, oh, give it a big cuddle,
because this is going to be the last night. And
then we were talking about the dummy Fairy and I
explained to her that the dummy Fairy is the sister
of the tooth Fairy and oh they're related.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
They're related.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah, I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
No surprising bunny family. What is it makes sizardry? So
the problem with the dummy Fairy, though, is that she
seems to provide different services at different families, because for
some families, what I've heard is that they plant the
dummy in the backyard and then lollipops grow in the garden.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Seems excessive.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Other families, I've heard the dummy Fairy comes, takes the dummies,
and then she takes it to her magical castle in
dummy fairy Land. So I kind of thought that maybe
our dummy Fairy would do a hybrid of the two.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
And so I laid down next to Lola.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
And I said, oh, you know, we're gonna put the
dummies outside tonight and then the dummy Fairy is gonna
come and she's gonna take the dummies and plant them
in the garden around the castle, and they're going to
turn into flowers.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I feel like the dummy Fairy needs to wind it
back and stopping such an overchiever with the dummy Fairy,
just needs to do a quick exchange.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
No planting, no growth. Yeah, went done really badly. Lola
burst out crying and she was like, you.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Don't plant my dummies.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
She was so worried that the dummies were going to
end up in the dirt. So then I had to backtrack.
We had to try and refigure that one out.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
You're like, Sack, she's not really gonna play just.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I just don't know how it's gonna go, because at
the end of the day she says she's ready for it.
But I think that we have some pretty horrible nights
ahead of us.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I think you just need to set in stone now
that it's a dummy fairy rule, not your rule, that
once you've asked them to come, there's no retracting that offer.
Like once it's so even if she's having a hard
time after it, it's like sorry, like you signed the
dummy contract. That's life. You've signed your life away.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Long should I make a contract and get her to sign.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I would because it gives us something to understand that
there was an exchange here.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
It's a hard lesson in life.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Yeah, get it to sign over a superannuation and stuff
now to.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
She will wake up in the morning with a present.
So the dummy fairy leaves a present. So that's meant
to be the exchange for the dummies.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Just make it nothing that can be put in your mouth.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I'm just gonna go with the teddy.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Oh well, let us know. I'm going to be thought
some prayers. I'm gonna be thinking about you. Guys. Set
up a little camera, try and catch to the dummy
fairy if you can. That's what I'd like.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I'll get some audios that will work better on radio.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Hey, h well, it's been a very big week for
our very own Australian Sea like super singer songwriter Sea. Wow,
that was a lot of alliteration. I didn't even mean.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
To do chandelier.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah, I guess that was a different lead of it.
I'm the same sound.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
I wasn't trying to make it a literation. I was
actually just trying to you know. Yeah, anyway, I'll sing
it for you everyone.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Well, firstly, she this is not funny. She has filed
foot divorce from her husband, David. She's been married for
two years, but it just came out this week that
she's divorced. Secondly, the name of her child has been announced.
I don't know if you've heard this, Laura, do you
know what Sea has named her tribe.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
I did see this, and now I've forgotten. What was it?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Something terrible Somersault, wonder No, no Somersault like gymnastic move Somersault.
You can't wonder one like wonder woman.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
It's funny because like I remember when Gwyneth Paltrow named
her Apple old as Apple and everyone thought that was
real wacky, and now Apple's just super standard.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
And then there's like you were Somersault.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
You'd be frothing if your name was Apple. Anyway, That's
not what I wanted to talk to you about. What
I wanted to talk to you about is like the
crazy rumors that celebrities have to face. Sea finally has
this week put one of her wildest rumors to bed.
Have listen, what is the craziest rumor you've heard about
yourself that I was living in Beyonce's basement.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
So this bit of rumor that guy was like gollum,
he's doing the interview, very American, very energetic interviewer.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
But it's been going around since twenty fifteen that Sea
lived in Beyonce's basement. And I wouldn't have put this
roomor to bed either. I would love for people to think,
for eight years I've been living in with Beyonce.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
If anyone's going to have a nice basement, that's Beyonce,
like she's that's that's not a regular person's basement.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
But it could be a full apartment.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Could you imagine it would be bigger than my house?
The rumors like, that's a good rumor. I was thinking
about Avril Levine, you know, the rumor that she's dead,
that she's been replaced by a fake woman that just
looks like her.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Joanne mcdally did a whole podcast around the rumors. If
you don't she's a very funny Irish comedian, She did
a whole podcast series around the rumors that Avril Levine
is not really a living anymore.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
What my name is?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Levine?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Levine?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Levine or she's yeah, she's I don't think she's definite.
I don't and she's alive. It's the guy from Room
five or whatever it is, Adam Levine.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Is that wow?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I'm wow you had here first the name is Levine,
and I'm starting that rumor because I don't know any
celebrities names.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
The only rumor, sorry, just the way that you were
trying to really just about you know what I was
getting mixed up with Adam Levine. Also not shut up.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
The only rumor that.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I mean, I'm not a big enough celebrity for people
to make rumors about me.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
I don't think anyone cares.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
You've got loads of rumors. What do I have? There's
a whole thread called Laura Burn's rumors.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
No, it's not meant that there was a rumor that
I was pregnant when I wasn't pregnant. That was a
really nice article to face. The other one was when
Matt and I first met. So I met my husband
on the Bachelor, and when we verys met, there was
a rumor that came out that we already knew each
other and that the whole thing was a setup, and
that that like it was orchestrated for me to win
(11:08):
the show, and that we were always going to be together,
like we had.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
A secret act. That's what came out, and that wasn't true.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
That comes out on every single Bachelor season. You guys
did make eyes in a sauna. You had seen each
other beforehand, and we are.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Still in contract, so like, that's why we're still together
and have two children.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
You have the ten year contract. The room that I
think about, which I use it to my advantage sometimes
and sometimes it was detrimental. But there was a rumor,
and it was on It.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Was on Google. Wasn't a rumor?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Yes it was. It's not true. On Google, if you
typed in my name, the first article that would come
up with Britney Hockley's net worth and it said that
it was I was worth two hundred and seventy five
million dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I don't know where this came from. I've known Britney
very well and have known her for a long time.
I would just like to say that I know that
that is absolutely untrue.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Nothing, not even close. But when I started dating my
filmce Ben, I know the first thing that you do,
because I also do it, is google each other like,
when you start dating someone, you don't have to be
famous to do that.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
You know you do due.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Diligence, criminal records. I want to know everything. I want
to know what's been going on in.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Your life one hundred percent. So I did my Google
on Ben his he lived overseas, and he did his
Google on me, and I knew. I was like, oh, no,
he thinks I'm loaded because we just like hooked up
for a weekend. I was like, he thinks I'm worth
so much money, And I wonder.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
He wanted to keep dating you after you guys had
one hangs and bangs.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
That's what I said. But we didn't have this conversation
for a couple of weeks and then I said to him, Hey,
I need to talk to you because he lives overseas
And He's like what, And I said, I think I've
realized why you're so interested in me, because I was
like in my head, I was like, this guy barely
knows me, he doesn't live in the country. Why is
he chasing me so hard? And I was like, he
thinks he's hit the jackpot. And I had to have
a conversation with him about like, I know you would
(12:45):
have googled me and you would have seen my net
worth and he's like, yeah, I absolutely did. And I said, well,
I like, I think that you're dating me for that
reason and I need to know that that's not true.
I don't earn that money. And he goes Brittany, I
thought that for about twenty four hours until I saw
your apartment. He's like, he's like, I'm not with you
for your money. I hate to break to you. And
I was like, great, then we can continue on. It
(13:06):
was real love.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Well, I'm very happy for you.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah, what not for the twhunred and seventy five minutes.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
No, I'm actually devastated with you.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Now, Laura, you went away with your husband Matty day
on the weekend, which we saw on your Instagram. You
had a great photo shoot in a pool that I
did for photo shoot.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
In the pool.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Well, the Daily Mail says otherwise. Now, this was an
article that was put into our group chat just for
a bit of a laugh.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
When we say it was put into our group chat,
you put this into our group chat.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
For a laugh. As I said, it was put into
the group chat by someone, by someone I don't even
wish to name myself. When I saw this, I did
have to have a good chuckle. I want to read
the headline. Bachelor star Manny J. Johnson leaves little to
the imagination in a racy poolside snap with wife Laura Burn.
Do you want to explain to the people of Australia
(13:53):
what your racy poolside photo shoot was?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Can I just say so?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Marley, who's my oldest She took a photo of Matt
and I.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
We were just a racy photo.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
That's even more inappropriate.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Like someone's got to do it, gotta make some money somewhere. No,
she took this photo.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
I was actually so surprised by her photography skills for
a five year old.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I hate to break it to you. It's not that
it's not going to win a prize a photography for good.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
It's the composition is great.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I've given a camera like I've given my phone over
to a stranger on the street and they've taken ten
times worse photos than that.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
That was just a one click.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I was increasingly impressed.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Okay, continue, okay, So I saw the photo in the
camera roll she took it.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
It was just Matt and I by the.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Pool, embracing having a great time, not overly embracing. He's
just got one arm in the air. I've got one
on his lovely abs. I saw it in the camera
roll and I thought that's a great photo, and I
uploaded it anyway. I showed it to Max. I was like,
oh my god, look at this lovely photo of us.
And also, when you go away as a family of
four with two little kids, you get so many photos
(14:51):
of your children, but there's no one to take photos
of the two of you, so it's always just selfies.
And he looked at it and he was like, why
did you post that? I was like, what are we
talking about? He's like what, he goes, Look, I'm just
in my budget smugglers. He's like, it's a very package
heavy photo, is what we might describe it.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
I would not describe it as package heavy personally that
might be offended by that, but also packaged medium. I
don't know, this is awkward. It don't make me kind
on it. That's not what I wanted to comment on.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
He's just wearing Budge Smugglers, and so like, when you're
wearing budget Smugglers, there's not a lot left to the imagination.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Look. I read the headline and I thought, I've got
to see this. What if Laura and Matt uploaded? And
I scrolled through the article and that's where I started laughing,
because it's it's absolutely ludicrous. In the first sentence, like
the first two sentences, so it says Maddy Jay leaves
little to the imagination. In Racy Poolside's snap, he stripped
down to a pair of tiny budgy smugglers. The former
(15:44):
bachelor style was all smiles as he soaked up the
sun in tiny bathers. We've got it the fourth time
in two sentences that they were tiny. Flashing his toned abs,
he threw his hands up in celebration of his holiday.
This is my favorite part, all of this description about Matt,
how sexy he is and what he's packaged as his love.
Laura Byrne stood in a two piece that was.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
It Actually it says as like thirty eight, I don't
know why they needed to put our ages in there,
embraced him while wearing her own black two piece bathing suit.
Normally on this show, we would we would rage for equality,
we would rage for parody. And here I am being like,
why am I not being objectified? And you're only objectifying
my beautiful husband. I feel left it out a little bit,
(16:25):
I do.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Part of me thinks, yeah, great, this is the first
time I've actually seen this in a long time. I
don't often read, no, but you don't often read an
article where there's a man and a woman. Actually, I
can't tell you if I've ever read it where they're
both in bikinis and the woman hasn't been commented on
and the whole article is about the man.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I don't know whether I'm supposed to be offended or no.
This is the problem, Like, it's exactly the version that
I've always wanted, and now that it's here, I'm like,
hold on, what does that mean about me?
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Why don't I have my glistening abs out?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
What about my I don't know, long legs, all tiny,
otter whatever you want to talk about.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Yeah, I don't care about me anymore.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
And we are laughing because it's so out of the ordinary,
and it's so unusual to see an article written like this,
when there is a man and a woman both in bikini,
for them to be left.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Not in a bikini. I just really want.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Everyone he's in a man keys, not in a bikini.
But I think this is what we want, right, Like,
at the end of the day, we would want an
article to be written that has nothing to do with anyone. No,
the man's not commented on his body. The woman's not
commented on her body. But very briefly, I did have
to take some satisfaction in like, oh, the narrative has
finally switched.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Look, I mean if I can objectify my husband, so
can you.

Guys, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Definitely not Why wouldn't you look at that.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Lovely space upload?

Speaker 3 (00:21):
Haafia Sappie.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
What anniversary Halloween?
Speaker 1 (00:25):
I was gonna say Monday afternoon, but you know, it's
been a long day.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Evidently longer.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
It's Prettykley and Laura ben and here.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
We are, welcome to Monday. Someone had a big weekend.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I spent my weekend on the Gold Coast. Actually, I
spent my weekend at Movie World with the kids.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I did see that I had a little bit of fomo.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
You had fomo about me going to Movie World.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yeah, there's part of me that loves those roller coasters,
and you don't do it enough. I think as an adult,
if you don't have kids, you go once every like
eight years.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
This is true. I've not been since I was a child.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
But although while we were there, we realized the last
time my husband had been to Movie World. So his
name's Matt Free when he doesn't know he was on
the Bachelor, A really long time ago.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
It's how we met. The last time he was at
Movie World.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
He was there on a single date with another girl
who was also from the Bachelor, at Tara Pavlovuch, and.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
You would have heard all about it third hand. Back
at the batchman, she.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Was like, I came here eight years ago on a
lovely single date. Then he pulled up a photo and
showed me. It was just a photo of him and
Tarret making out. It was so weird. The whole thing
was weird.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I got the shittest dates on The Bachelor. You guys
all got good ones. Our whole salary, I think went
to like the Honey Badger, here's a batch.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
I played foot golf. That's true.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
You kick a soccer ball around a golf course if
you don't know what it is. That was my single date.
I was like, cool, when does the chopper arrive?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I feel like forot golf isn't even a thing. They
just made it up.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
It's not They were like, oh, the golf course is
actually booked out.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I didn't have one very very cute thing that happened though,
when we were at Movie World, Like Marley's five and
she is at an age now where She's like found
her little brave person inside her, and she's like so
excited to go and do things that maybe a year
ago she would have been too scared to do. And
there is like quite big roller coaster there that's in
the kids section, and we've done a few kids activities
with Lola, my youngest, and Molly looked at this roller
(02:07):
coaster and she was like, Dad, I reckon, we should
go on that. And then her and her father went
on this roller coaster four times, like over and over
and over, and she was so excited.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Not a single drop of fear in that kid. She
was just pumped to be there.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, I miss that.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I don't know. I was like I would throw up
on that. I've lost.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
You didn't do it, did you know? You were like, oh,
I better stay with a small child.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Here. I was on a train going around and round
on this tiny little train that went about three kulmeters
an hour, and Lola was like, this is my favorite.
We did that three times.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Hey, speaking of Lola, you have a pretty special visitor
coming to your house tonight. I hear I do, I do.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Tonight is the big night in the Johnson household. A
fairy is visiting us.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Oh, that's some ambiguous. It's ambiguous.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I'll tell you all about it next.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Now, something very big, very exciting is happening in the
Johnson household tonight.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Oh please do tell me.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
No, you know, you know, and it just shows I
don't get out much.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
You're gonna have intimacy. No wrong night, No, that's wrong.
That's friend Thursday.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Yes, that's a Monday. Who's doing it on a Monday?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Not you?
Speaker 3 (03:09):
No? No, No.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
What is happening though, is I've spoken about it before.
My youngest daughter, her name's Lola. She's four years old. Controversially,
Lola still has her dummy at nighttime. Now, I know
that there's going to be parents in the car across
the country who gasp at the audacity that a four
year old still has a dummy.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I know, I know, she is actually pretty wild.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
I've tried so hard to take it off her, and
I don't want people to think that this is just
like a lame excuse. We did six weeks of no
Dummy last year, and it was literally the worst six
weeks of my entire life.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
That I caved and I gave it back to us.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Everyone says they move on and they get past it
and they forget about it. She did not. She did.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
She's like an elephant. She never forgets.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
She had such a personality switch that she went from
being this like happy, loving, kind little kid chucky doll,
literally like the devil spawn. She would just scream all
the time. And the thing is, and what I've realized
is it has always been her one and only thing
to soothe her. And for other parents that have you know,
(04:14):
little kids, they might have a pinky or a flannel
or a toy that they've had since they were born.
That's like their thing that they carry around. And I
see so many four year olds who still have their
like favorite toy that they go to bed with at nighttime.
Lola's never gotten attached to a toy. It's her dummy.
She's at the point where she's like a dummy connoisseur.
She'll see other kids in the park and she'd be like, hey, mom,
(04:36):
that's a nice dummy.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
She'll point them.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Out, admiring the dummies from a distance. That's weird. If
you're old enough to be like checking out of the dummies,
you're too old to have the dummy.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yeah, she only has it at nighttime when she's going
to bed, and then we take it off her in
her sleep, so it's literally just to get her asleep.
But we are at the point now where because she's
four years old, the dentist is like, you're out an age.
It's got to go or it's gonna change her.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
H It's pretty intense. So what are you doing about this?
Because who's the visitor coming tonight?
Speaker 3 (05:05):
The dummy Fairy. We're at dummy Fairy stage.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
And this has been a long process because unlike Christmas
or Easter, the other visitors have like very defined dates
when they arrive, the dummy Fairy is kind of like
the tooth Fairy.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
It's a little bit more ambiguous. Actually, no, the tooth
Fairy is pretty defined you she knows where she's coming.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
So the Dummy Fairy, for us, we haven't really known
when to set the day. And we led it up
to Lula a little bit and then on the weekend
she was like, Mum, I think the dummy Fairy should come.
She's like, I'm ready, and so she was like in
four sleeps, so we've done the.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Four sleep to count down.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Didn't sleep come from she just randomly made it up
So anyway, we got to the forll sleep mark. Last
night was her last night with the dummy. I laid
down next to her own bed and I gave it
to her and I said, oh, give it a big cuddle,
because this is going to be the last night. And
then we were talking about the dummy Fairy and I
explained to her that the dummy Fairy is the sister
of the tooth Fairy and oh they're related.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
They're related.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah, I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
No surprising bunny family. What is it makes sizardry? So
the problem with the dummy Fairy, though, is that she
seems to provide different services at different families, because for
some families, what I've heard is that they plant the
dummy in the backyard and then lollipops grow in the garden.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Seems excessive.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Other families, I've heard the dummy Fairy comes, takes the dummies,
and then she takes it to her magical castle in
dummy fairy Land. So I kind of thought that maybe
our dummy Fairy would do a hybrid of the two.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
And so I laid down next to Lola.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
And I said, oh, you know, we're gonna put the
dummies outside tonight and then the dummy Fairy is gonna
come and she's gonna take the dummies and plant them
in the garden around the castle, and they're going to
turn into flowers.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I feel like the dummy Fairy needs to wind it
back and stopping such an overchiever with the dummy Fairy,
just needs to do a quick exchange.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
No planting, no growth. Yeah, went done really badly. Lola
burst out crying and she was like, you.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Don't plant my dummies.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
She was so worried that the dummies were going to
end up in the dirt. So then I had to backtrack.
We had to try and refigure that one out.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
You're like, Sack, she's not really gonna play just.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I just don't know how it's gonna go, because at
the end of the day she says she's ready for it.
But I think that we have some pretty horrible nights
ahead of us.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I think you just need to set in stone now
that it's a dummy fairy rule, not your rule, that
once you've asked them to come, there's no retracting that offer.
Like once it's so even if she's having a hard
time after it, it's like sorry, like you signed the
dummy contract. That's life. You've signed your life away.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Long should I make a contract and get her to sign.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I would because it gives us something to understand that
there was an exchange here.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
It's a hard lesson in life.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Yeah, get it to sign over a superannuation and stuff
now to.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
She will wake up in the morning with a present.
So the dummy fairy leaves a present. So that's meant
to be the exchange for the dummies.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Just make it nothing that can be put in your mouth.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I'm just gonna go with the teddy.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Oh well, let us know. I'm going to be thought
some prayers. I'm gonna be thinking about you. Guys. Set
up a little camera, try and catch to the dummy
fairy if you can. That's what I'd like.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I'll get some audios that will work better on radio.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Hey, h well, it's been a very big week for
our very own Australian Sea like super singer songwriter Sea. Wow,
that was a lot of alliteration. I didn't even mean.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
To do chandelier.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah, I guess that was a different lead of it.
I'm the same sound.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
I wasn't trying to make it a literation. I was
actually just trying to you know. Yeah, anyway, I'll sing
it for you everyone.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Well, firstly, she this is not funny. She has filed
foot divorce from her husband, David. She's been married for
two years, but it just came out this week that
she's divorced. Secondly, the name of her child has been announced.
I don't know if you've heard this, Laura, do you
know what Sea has named her tribe.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
I did see this, and now I've forgotten. What was it?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Something terrible Somersault, wonder No, no Somersault like gymnastic move Somersault.
You can't wonder one like wonder woman.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
It's funny because like I remember when Gwyneth Paltrow named
her Apple old as Apple and everyone thought that was
real wacky, and now Apple's just super standard.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
And then there's like you were Somersault.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
You'd be frothing if your name was Apple. Anyway, That's
not what I wanted to talk to you about. What
I wanted to talk to you about is like the
crazy rumors that celebrities have to face. Sea finally has
this week put one of her wildest rumors to bed.
Have listen, what is the craziest rumor you've heard about
yourself that I was living in Beyonce's basement.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
So this bit of rumor that guy was like gollum,
he's doing the interview, very American, very energetic interviewer.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
But it's been going around since twenty fifteen that Sea
lived in Beyonce's basement. And I wouldn't have put this
roomor to bed either. I would love for people to think,
for eight years I've been living in with Beyonce.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
If anyone's going to have a nice basement, that's Beyonce,
like she's that's that's not a regular person's basement.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
But it could be a full apartment.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Could you imagine it would be bigger than my house?
The rumors like, that's a good rumor. I was thinking
about Avril Levine, you know, the rumor that she's dead,
that she's been replaced by a fake woman that just
looks like her.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Joanne mcdally did a whole podcast around the rumors. If
you don't she's a very funny Irish comedian, She did
a whole podcast series around the rumors that Avril Levine
is not really a living anymore.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
What my name is?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Levine?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Levine?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Levine or she's yeah, she's I don't think she's definite.
I don't and she's alive. It's the guy from Room
five or whatever it is, Adam Levine.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Is that wow?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I'm wow you had here first the name is Levine,
and I'm starting that rumor because I don't know any
celebrities names.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
The only rumor, sorry, just the way that you were
trying to really just about you know what I was
getting mixed up with Adam Levine. Also not shut up.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
The only rumor that.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I mean, I'm not a big enough celebrity for people
to make rumors about me.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
I don't think anyone cares.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
You've got loads of rumors. What do I have? There's
a whole thread called Laura Burn's rumors.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
No, it's not meant that there was a rumor that
I was pregnant when I wasn't pregnant. That was a
really nice article to face. The other one was when
Matt and I first met. So I met my husband
on the Bachelor, and when we verys met, there was
a rumor that came out that we already knew each
other and that the whole thing was a setup, and
that that like it was orchestrated for me to win
(11:08):
the show, and that we were always going to be together,
like we had.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
A secret act. That's what came out, and that wasn't true.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
That comes out on every single Bachelor season. You guys
did make eyes in a sauna. You had seen each
other beforehand, and we are.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Still in contract, so like, that's why we're still together
and have two children.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
You have the ten year contract. The room that I
think about, which I use it to my advantage sometimes
and sometimes it was detrimental. But there was a rumor,
and it was on It.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Was on Google. Wasn't a rumor?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Yes it was. It's not true. On Google, if you
typed in my name, the first article that would come
up with Britney Hockley's net worth and it said that
it was I was worth two hundred and seventy five
million dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I don't know where this came from. I've known Britney
very well and have known her for a long time.
I would just like to say that I know that
that is absolutely untrue.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Nothing, not even close. But when I started dating my
filmce Ben, I know the first thing that you do,
because I also do it, is google each other like,
when you start dating someone, you don't have to be
famous to do that.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
You know you do due.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Diligence, criminal records. I want to know everything. I want
to know what's been going on in.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Your life one hundred percent. So I did my Google
on Ben his he lived overseas, and he did his
Google on me, and I knew. I was like, oh, no,
he thinks I'm loaded because we just like hooked up
for a weekend. I was like, he thinks I'm worth
so much money, And I wonder.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
He wanted to keep dating you after you guys had
one hangs and bangs.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
That's what I said. But we didn't have this conversation
for a couple of weeks and then I said to him, Hey,
I need to talk to you because he lives overseas
And He's like what, And I said, I think I've
realized why you're so interested in me, because I was
like in my head, I was like, this guy barely
knows me, he doesn't live in the country. Why is
he chasing me so hard? And I was like, he
thinks he's hit the jackpot. And I had to have
a conversation with him about like, I know you would
(12:45):
have googled me and you would have seen my net
worth and he's like, yeah, I absolutely did. And I said, well,
I like, I think that you're dating me for that
reason and I need to know that that's not true.
I don't earn that money. And he goes Brittany, I
thought that for about twenty four hours until I saw
your apartment. He's like, he's like, I'm not with you
for your money. I hate to break to you. And
I was like, great, then we can continue on. It
(13:06):
was real love.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Well, I'm very happy for you.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah, what not for the twhunred and seventy five minutes.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
No, I'm actually devastated with you.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Now, Laura, you went away with your husband Matty day
on the weekend, which we saw on your Instagram. You
had a great photo shoot in a pool that I
did for photo shoot.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
In the pool.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Well, the Daily Mail says otherwise. Now, this was an
article that was put into our group chat just for
a bit of a laugh.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
When we say it was put into our group chat,
you put this into our group chat.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
For a laugh. As I said, it was put into
the group chat by someone, by someone I don't even
wish to name myself. When I saw this, I did
have to have a good chuckle. I want to read
the headline. Bachelor star Manny J. Johnson leaves little to
the imagination in a racy poolside snap with wife Laura Burn.
Do you want to explain to the people of Australia
(13:53):
what your racy poolside photo shoot was?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Can I just say so?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Marley, who's my oldest She took a photo of Matt
and I.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
We were just a racy photo.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
That's even more inappropriate.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Like someone's got to do it, gotta make some money somewhere. No,
she took this photo.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
I was actually so surprised by her photography skills for
a five year old.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I hate to break it to you. It's not that
it's not going to win a prize a photography for good.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
It's the composition is great.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I've given a camera like I've given my phone over
to a stranger on the street and they've taken ten
times worse photos than that.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
That was just a one click.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I was increasingly impressed.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Okay, continue, okay, So I saw the photo in the
camera roll she took it.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
It was just Matt and I by the.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Pool, embracing having a great time, not overly embracing. He's
just got one arm in the air. I've got one
on his lovely abs. I saw it in the camera
roll and I thought that's a great photo, and I
uploaded it anyway. I showed it to Max. I was like,
oh my god, look at this lovely photo of us.
And also, when you go away as a family of
four with two little kids, you get so many photos
(14:51):
of your children, but there's no one to take photos
of the two of you, so it's always just selfies.
And he looked at it and he was like, why
did you post that? I was like, what are we
talking about? He's like what, he goes, Look, I'm just
in my budget smugglers. He's like, it's a very package
heavy photo, is what we might describe it.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
I would not describe it as package heavy personally that
might be offended by that, but also packaged medium. I
don't know, this is awkward. It don't make me kind
on it. That's not what I wanted to comment on.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
He's just wearing Budge Smugglers, and so like, when you're
wearing budget Smugglers, there's not a lot left to the imagination.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Look. I read the headline and I thought, I've got
to see this. What if Laura and Matt uploaded? And
I scrolled through the article and that's where I started laughing,
because it's it's absolutely ludicrous. In the first sentence, like
the first two sentences, so it says Maddy Jay leaves
little to the imagination. In Racy Poolside's snap, he stripped
down to a pair of tiny budgy smugglers. The former
(15:44):
bachelor style was all smiles as he soaked up the
sun in tiny bathers. We've got it the fourth time
in two sentences that they were tiny. Flashing his toned abs,
he threw his hands up in celebration of his holiday.
This is my favorite part, all of this description about Matt,
how sexy he is and what he's packaged as his love.
Laura Byrne stood in a two piece that was.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
It Actually it says as like thirty eight, I don't
know why they needed to put our ages in there,
embraced him while wearing her own black two piece bathing suit.
Normally on this show, we would we would rage for equality,
we would rage for parody. And here I am being like,
why am I not being objectified? And you're only objectifying
my beautiful husband. I feel left it out a little bit,
(16:25):
I do.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Part of me thinks, yeah, great, this is the first
time I've actually seen this in a long time. I
don't often read, no, but you don't often read an
article where there's a man and a woman. Actually, I
can't tell you if I've ever read it where they're
both in bikinis and the woman hasn't been commented on
and the whole article is about the man.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I don't know whether I'm supposed to be offended or no.
This is the problem, Like, it's exactly the version that
I've always wanted, and now that it's here, I'm like,
hold on, what does that mean about me?
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Why don't I have my glistening abs out?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
What about my I don't know, long legs, all tiny,
otter whatever you want to talk about.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Yeah, I don't care about me anymore.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
And we are laughing because it's so out of the ordinary,
and it's so unusual to see an article written like this,
when there is a man and a woman both in bikini,
for them to be left.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Not in a bikini. I just really want.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Everyone he's in a man keys, not in a bikini.
But I think this is what we want, right, Like,
at the end of the day, we would want an
article to be written that has nothing to do with anyone. No,
the man's not commented on his body. The woman's not
