Speaker 2 (00:18):
A good pickup with Britt Hockley and Laura Burn.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Brady, your work, our windows down, that's my worldris in the.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Dust, only good tabs, all down.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I've don't march, but yeah, I know I'll big get
and what I want.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
It don't matter where. This is the pickup.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Hello everyone, It's the Pickup with Britt Harkley and Laura Burn.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Happy Wednesday, everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
The downward slide of the week. Now on the other end, Yeah,
at the end of hump day.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
What a treat. Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I have a question for you, Britt. It's something that
I was literally just reading. You know Grimace from McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Yeah, the purple thing.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Yeah, so he's been around for eighteen years McDonald's icon. Yeah,
no one knows what he actually is though. What do
you think Grimace is the big purple blob?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I feel like he's like a milkshake or something. Is
he like a great milkshit? I feel like this is.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
One of those things that as soon as you say it,
I'm gonna know it. One of those things you learn
along the way, but you don't retain it because it's
useless information.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
No, you would think that when I tell you what
he actually is, you're gonna be like, there's no way.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
What like a off nugget? Is McDonald's new marketing?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Is it a McDonald's food? No, sweet potato, that's a
really good guess. No, Grimmas is not a sweet potato.
So after eighteen years, McDonald's come out and finally, I
don't know why they chose today as the day, but
they've finally come out and said, this is what Grimace is,
and please tell us Laura. He's a giant taste bud.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
How anti climactic? That was actually pretty.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Grow He also used to have scales, but he was
too scary, so he used to be a totally different
version of a giant purple taste bud.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Why A He angry because he's like the bad.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Guy, so he would like steal the cookies and steal
the burgers and stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
That was the character that he was meant to play.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
And then McDonald's realized he was scaring children, so they
made him a giant fluffy taste bud.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
I'm so glad you told me that you wouldn't have
been had to get through the day.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Don't say that you don't learn anything here at the pickup.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Laura, you've been through some breakups in your time, mate,
Haven't I ever more than anyone I know actually settled down?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
No, but you that's not a bad thing. You dated
a lot. Yeah, I kissed a lot of frogs to
find my prince.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Do you don't have to be defensive about that. It's
not a bad thing. I couldn't get a boyfriend. That
was my problem. Some of them are nice and were nice.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Some of them were absolutely horrible and useless turds.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Well, in any of those breakups, did they ever ask
for anything back? Like, you know, when you split up,
you might've lived together. Whatever you break up, did you
ever ask them for anything back? Or did they have
ask you for anything back?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I was always the person that walked away from the
relationship and didn't want anything from it. So, like I remember,
I broke up with one of I did the breaking
up as well, so I think I felt a bit guilty.
We've been together for a few years, we had furniture together,
we lived together, and I remember when I broke up
with him, I was like, do you know what, you
keep everything. I'll take nothing because I felt so guilty. However,
I did go through one breakup and I took his
(03:12):
credit card details and I may have taken some money,
but that's because he owed me money. And there's a
big backstory to that one, and I think I would
have won if it had gone to court. I think
it'll be fun.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
You would not take him to call ten years statute limitations,
whatever it's called. You can't see me now, ha ha.
That also doesn't exist.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Laura's on so many criminal things and she just goes
to spin ten years.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
No, Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
The backstory to this is this dude he crashed my car.
We've been together for quite a few years. Because we
were together, I was like, don't worry about paying anything.
I'll just pay it. And then two weeks later I
found out he was cheating on me. So I was like,
you can pay for my car, and he refused to,
so I just aducted it from his credit card through
my business. The end, Well, the reason I ask is,
(03:53):
I mean, that's pretty bad, but I think this is worse.
This happened back in two thousand and six, but it's
making the rounds again.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
So it's like it's quite an old story.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
But there's this couple in the US that were married
for a really long time and the wife unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Got really sick. She needed kidney trance.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Plans, both kidneys, and she did the transplants and they
didn't work. The devastating It was devastating, but their marriage
was like really under stress because of the pressure of that,
and he was looking after her and she was unwell
and whatever else. So the husband donated his kidney to
his wife to literally save her life and save the marriage,
and amazingly it worked. Fast forward a little bit and
(04:31):
he finds out that she's been cheating on him, so
he gave up a kidney and she had been cheating.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Oh so then it was rough. Yeah, so in the
divorce didn't want anything else.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
He asked for the kidney back because you know, no,
that's that seems wildly unethical.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
You know that's going to kill her.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I understand that cheating does make you feel a bit
different about people, Like I wanted my money after I
found out my ex was cheating on me, But if
I'd given him a kidney, I don't want death.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Well, especially because she only had one, only one works.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, you come back, did this go through court?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Like, no one, no normal.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Human is going to look at that situation and be like, oh, yep,
cheating divorce, you should die for that.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Give an organ? So what?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
He obviously knew that no one was going to award
him a kidney, so he said, either you give me
the kidney or the value of the kidney, and he
put the value at one point five million US dollars,
which I don't even know how where you pull that from,
but interestingly, or actually probably pretty obviously, the court ruled
that any organ may not be exchanged for value, but.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Also putting real tickets on yourself.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
If you think one kidney's one point five million, how
much do you think your total self is worth? How
do you break it down organ by organ.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
And put an individual pick the number from.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yeah, I think if you're going to give your organs
to someone, it has to be an altruistic gift that
knowing that even if the relationship breaks down or whatever
happens there, you've done it because at one time you
cared about them.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
But it is a.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Bit rich to take a kidney and also be having
an affair at the same time, Like that's pretty bad.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
It wasn't simultaneous. She gave it eighteen months and then
she had the affair. She got better, and then she got.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Well enough for an affair.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Hey, we've got to live on the phone. Hey live
at did your ex ask for back?
Speaker 5 (06:10):
My ex asked for a bottle of oyster sauce that
I threw out when we were moving out, and then
when I wouldn't give it back to him, he asked
me to transfer seven dollars to cover it.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
No brand was so attached to.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
It, really running the mill, Like I don't know I
am or whatever right and probably can't say brand names,
but yeah, literally just running the mill oyster sauce.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Hang on. To be clear, he asked for nothing else, None.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Of the furniture, the white goods, nothing like sentimental.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
He just wanted the oyster sauce.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Well, to be fair, he did actually want something else back.
He also asked for his packet of Stato sticks.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
He's got a problem. Do you know what the screams
to me of.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
You know, when someone will just find any excuse to
try and reach out and get back in touch with
their ex, like he's lost the plot.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Because this is all this does, is double down on
why the breakup.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Was to this. But it's not rational.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
It's just they're just so desperate to get some sort
of reply that they write crazy stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Did you transfer them? Do you ben?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Mom?
Speaker 5 (07:11):
To be fair, I did because I was like, I
can't be bothered with this. I don't want to see
you again. I'm going to keep your oyster sauce, and
I made a very good meal out of it.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Well done, showed him or a.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Tale as old as time that women have been lumped
with basically the responsibility of everything in the household.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
And that's much the poor men in the cars who
are like, mate, I do stuff too, Okay, not the household.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
With the responsibility of contraception. I should have been more specific.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
For as long as we could remember, the responsibility has
been on women to take the contraceptive pill to stop
a pregnancy. Obviously, there are other forms that we're not
going to get into detail right now.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Well, there's everything the marina, like all of that stuff,
like the one that you get injected into your arms,
and it.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
All falls on women.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
But there has been some brand new research and I
want to get your take on it. We are looking
imminently at a male contraceptive pill, so.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Talking about it for about to decades.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
No, they stopped it. So back in twenty sixteen, they
had developed one. They trialed it with men, and men
complained of having reactions. Now, mind you, the reactions were
like a headache, a bit of acne, a bit of bloating.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
So they stopped it. Blessed their souls.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
They stopped developing the pill, and they've started to work
on something else. They've come up with something that has
had zero effects on their testosterone, their sex drive, or.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Their hermonal imbalance.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
So it's really safe for men to take, and it's
looking to hit the shelves in like the end of
next year or to early twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
It's amazing. My question is, would you.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Entrust Matt, your husband, solely with the responsibility of contraception
to take this thing.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I don't know the details.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
I don't know if it's like every day or once
a week, or I don't know what it's going to
look like for them, but I feel like it's something
we've always wanted.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
We've always wanted to.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Be like, hey, you should have that responsibility, But now
that it's here, I'm not convinced I would trust it.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Matt's a pretty good admin man, like in terms of
my life, like he runs our house so old. He's
the person who makes sure the bills are paid and
the lights are on and the electricity's done.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Like, he's really good at admin.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
So I would trust him to take some I mean,
if he can take a protein shake every day, he
can go and get a male contraception.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
But I and maybe this is too much information, but
we're a sharing show.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I got pregnant with my first on the contraceptive pill,
so it was like completely by accident. And the contraceptive,
like women's contraceptive pill, is not one hundred percent effective
all of the time. It can be affected if you've
you know what. Lots of things can affect it. Apparently
they say in normal day to day use it's ninety
three percent effective around there and so.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Ninety nine percent, but they say in the real world
ninety three in case you forgot to take it for
a couple of hours or maybe you had vomiting or
something like that. But generally speaking, the effectiveness if you's
perfectly supposed to be ninety nine percents.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Yeah, but even ninety nine percent still one percent that's
one in every hundred people are still getting pregnant when
they're on the pill, which you know, when you think
about it from a timing perspective. And I remember going
into my GP and I was really upset and I
was like, I don't know how.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
This has happened. I'm on the pill.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
And she was like, well, when you think about that
statistic over the time you've been on the pill for
seventeen years, she's like one in one hundred people. She's like,
it's actually that statistic is not that improbable when you
think about it. And so I think it's a really
great secondary point for like, you know, for protection, because
I think if your husband's doing it and you're also
doing it and you're both on the same page, then
(10:33):
you really like it's not you're not gonna have any accidents,
are you.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Well. I just think it's interesting when you think if
you haven't been on the pill, and it's different for everybody,
but when you think of the effects that you have
as a woman, which can range from like small things
just like pains and sore breasts and skin problems, it's
hormonal everything, but there's a lot of serious things too,
like blood clots and heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, like,
(10:56):
there's so many things attached to the pill, but we
just have never really cared. We've always just been like, oh, well,
that's just how it is. So I think it's brilliant
that someone's actually put some time, money, and effort into
trying to make.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Something available for men.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
I just am interested to see how it's going to
land and how many men are going to say, you
know what, I'll do that.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah, And look, I think my opinion on this is
and everyone's going to be different.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Every woman's going.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
To be different because it is a burden that the
sole responsibility for contraception usually falls on the woman. However,
I would trust my husband. Would I trust some guy
that I've been barely dating. No, I wouldn't. Yeah, I'm
on it, no way. And the thing is, you wish
you could. But at the end of the day, pregnancy
is going to affect a woman. It's going to affect
me way more that's going to affect him. I'm the
(11:39):
one that has to make choices and live with the
decisions and potentially have another kid.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
So I think I can trust my husband. If you
can't trust your husband, you probably should recess.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Yes, I think the responsibility needs to be on all
parties involved. It takes two to ten go, That's what
I was trying to say, So that ten times fast.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
It does take too to take.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Britt, How would you feel if you were on a flight,
because you know, now, when it comes to like picking
seats and whatnot, almost everyone picks a seat, even if
you haven't paid for extra Usually pick your seat before
you bought a plane, right.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
How most people?
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Yeah, if you've got any sense, of course would no
one wants to be stuck near the toilets.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah, no, of course you would pick a seat. I
always do.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Okay, what would you do if you'd picked a seat
and someone came to you and asked to swap it
on a plane?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Well?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Why did they ask to swap it? And where is
the swap?
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Too?
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Well? But I mean, how long's a piece of string? War?
Speaker 4 (12:28):
If they asked me to swap the first class, Yeah,
I'm gonna swap.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Ask me to swap the duney can? All right?
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Well, Tom Cashman, now you guys might know if he
was on the project. Oh, he was about to say,
he's on the project. Gone the projects, no more task
masker task mask got god someone I don't want to
give you the green dream for me to sleep, I'll
do it.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
No.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Look, he's a comedian and he was recently on a
flight going from Singapore to London. He picked a seat,
he'd paid for it. He paid one hundred and eighty
nine dollars extra because the seat he has has absolutely
no one in front of it, Like he's extra so
much legal, like more than an exit row leg room,
Like it's an exceptional seat that he's got.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
He's even put the little map of the plane up
so that I can see.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
All right, So there is a man who has been
seated away from his fiance and he's asked to swat
with Tom and.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
This is what he has to say about it.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
What also pissed me off about this guy is, first
of all, he's in a relationship. He's got a fiance.
Congratulations to the beautiful couple. I don't have a fiance.
So he's rubbing my face in that. Not only that
he wasn't even tall, he was way less tall than
I am. Basically, this guy is asking for something he
doesn't need to enjoy, something in front of me.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
That I don't have the absolute audacity to ask someone
to swap seats. Firstly, when they're in an exit road
just because they're not sitting next to their partner, wouldn't
you ask.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
The other person on the other side, Well.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
You could, or you could ask like someone on the
other side of wherever your partner is sitting.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
That's what I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Who knows, but maybe they were sitting next to someone
who's a couple as well, and.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
That you think we're never going to get to the
bottom too.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
But what I would like to say here is absolutely
I would do what Tom did. I would not be
giving up that seat. No way you would posted on
social media. There is no way that if I had
paid for extra leg room and somebody said, can I
swap you for no reason? I think, or kids or anything,
it's not like, you know, like I would just say no.
But if I was in a normal seat, yeah, and
(14:17):
somebody asked me to swap to another normal seat so
they could sit with their partner, I would do that
for sure.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
But it's different.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
And I'm also thinking of like my husband Ben, he's
six foot five, he doesn't fit in a normal seat.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
There's no way he'd be giving up that seat either.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Okay, I have a question for you because I think
the tides have changed when it comes to parents and kids,
and I want to be careful. I would say this
because I don't think parents are being entitled by wanting
to sit with their children on planes. But there's definitely
been a few videos that have gone viral where you know,
people have asked to swap seats because they've either not
been located near their kids or it's been a bit
tricky for them, and people have said no. Now, you
(14:50):
have a right to say no to whatever you want
when it comes to your allocated seat on a plane.
I was recently on a plane with my husband, Matt,
and our two kids, and we'd booked four seats together,
but when we got to check in, we'd been moved,
so we'd been separated because apparently the booking had been split.
So Matt and Marley were put on a different seat,
so we were all in the same row. So imagine
(15:12):
like the six seats in a row, three seats on
one side, then the aisle, then three seats on the
other side. So Matt and Marley were against the window
on one side, and me and Lola were against the
window on the other side with two individual people sitting
in the aisle seat, which they'd obviously chosen.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Their aisle seat. It was very casual.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I was like, oh, just we're a family and we've
now got two people sitting between us. Is there any
chance that we can swap so that we've got the
aisle seats and you guys are in the window?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Fair enough? Both people said no.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
But I actually kind of felt I was like, you
guys don't know what you're doing, because we had to
spend the entire flight like passing over a cheese stick
or a coloring pencil or something, because the kids wanted
what each other had, and they were trying to speak
to each other over these two people the whole flight.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I felt so bad. Only place my.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Brain goes too is were they tall because people need
the leg room in the aisle or.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Do they have weak bladders? Because that's a whole other thing.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Not one of them got okay, not one of them
got up to use the loo?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Not one? But were they tall with their legs stretches,
which is normal?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Normal?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Like actually short of the meat? It was so weird.
Were they together? No?
Speaker 1 (16:20):
No, they weren't together. They were two individual people. And
I was honestly like, I don't care. We asked the question.
It wasn't a big deal, and obviously I do not
feel entitled for people to swop teaching me.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
We don't care.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Two weeks later, on a national radio show, this is
what happened.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
To know.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
It's not that.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
It's more so that I felt bad because then they
had to suffer through having two kids.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
But that's on them. You asked, you offered, No, you've
got nothing to feel bad about. I no, I did.
I did feel bad.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
There was a point where a cheese stick was being
passed over a random man that I.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Was like, I'm very sorry. I'm very sorry about this.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Nah, I'm you did the right thing, and you offered
up a swap so that they did not have to
be mid cheese stick fight.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
It's on them if they chose the cheese stick, all right,
I don't feel it bad about it anymore anyway.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Guys, Well, look that is it from us today. We're
out of here. We'll be back tomorrow with you know,
a whole lot more things to talk.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
I have a question for you, Britt. It's something that
I was literally just reading. You know Grimace from McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Yeah, the purple thing.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Yeah, so he's been around for eighteen years McDonald's icon. Yeah,
no one knows what he actually is though. What do
you think Grimace is the big purple blob?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I feel like he's like a milkshake or something. Is
he like a great milkshit? I feel like this is.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
One of those things that as soon as you say it,
I'm gonna know it. One of those things you learn
along the way, but you don't retain it because it's
useless information.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
No, you would think that when I tell you what
he actually is, you're gonna be like, there's no way.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
What like a off nugget? Is McDonald's new marketing?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Is it a McDonald's food? No, sweet potato, that's a
really good guess. No, Grimmas is not a sweet potato.
So after eighteen years, McDonald's come out and finally, I
don't know why they chose today as the day, but
they've finally come out and said, this is what Grimace is,
and please tell us Laura. He's a giant taste bud.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
How anti climactic? That was actually pretty.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Grow He also used to have scales, but he was
too scary, so he used to be a totally different
version of a giant purple taste bud.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Why A He angry because he's like the bad.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Guy, so he would like steal the cookies and steal
the burgers and stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
That was the character that he was meant to play.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
And then McDonald's realized he was scaring children, so they
made him a giant fluffy taste bud.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
I'm so glad you told me that you wouldn't have
been had to get through the day.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Don't say that you don't learn anything here at the pickup.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Laura, you've been through some breakups in your time, mate,
Haven't I ever more than anyone I know actually settled down?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
No, but you that's not a bad thing. You dated
a lot. Yeah, I kissed a lot of frogs to
find my prince.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Do you don't have to be defensive about that. It's
not a bad thing. I couldn't get a boyfriend. That
was my problem. Some of them are nice and were nice.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Some of them were absolutely horrible and useless turds.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Well, in any of those breakups, did they ever ask
for anything back? Like, you know, when you split up,
you might've lived together. Whatever you break up, did you
ever ask them for anything back? Or did they have
ask you for anything back?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I was always the person that walked away from the
relationship and didn't want anything from it. So, like I remember,
I broke up with one of I did the breaking
up as well, so I think I felt a bit guilty.
We've been together for a few years, we had furniture together,
we lived together, and I remember when I broke up
with him, I was like, do you know what, you
keep everything. I'll take nothing because I felt so guilty. However,
I did go through one breakup and I took his
(03:12):
credit card details and I may have taken some money,
but that's because he owed me money. And there's a
big backstory to that one, and I think I would
have won if it had gone to court. I think
it'll be fun.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
You would not take him to call ten years statute limitations,
whatever it's called. You can't see me now, ha ha.
That also doesn't exist.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Laura's on so many criminal things and she just goes
to spin ten years.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
No, Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
The backstory to this is this dude he crashed my car.
We've been together for quite a few years. Because we
were together, I was like, don't worry about paying anything.
I'll just pay it. And then two weeks later I
found out he was cheating on me. So I was like,
you can pay for my car, and he refused to,
so I just aducted it from his credit card through
my business. The end, Well, the reason I ask is,
(03:53):
I mean, that's pretty bad, but I think this is worse.
This happened back in two thousand and six, but it's
making the rounds again.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
So it's like it's quite an old story.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
But there's this couple in the US that were married
for a really long time and the wife unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Got really sick. She needed kidney trance.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Plans, both kidneys, and she did the transplants and they
didn't work. The devastating It was devastating, but their marriage
was like really under stress because of the pressure of that,
and he was looking after her and she was unwell
and whatever else. So the husband donated his kidney to
his wife to literally save her life and save the marriage,
and amazingly it worked. Fast forward a little bit and
(04:31):
he finds out that she's been cheating on him, so
he gave up a kidney and she had been cheating.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Oh so then it was rough. Yeah, so in the
divorce didn't want anything else.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
He asked for the kidney back because you know, no,
that's that seems wildly unethical.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
You know that's going to kill her.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I understand that cheating does make you feel a bit
different about people, Like I wanted my money after I
found out my ex was cheating on me, But if
I'd given him a kidney, I don't want death.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Well, especially because she only had one, only one works.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, you come back, did this go through court?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Like, no one, no normal.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Human is going to look at that situation and be like, oh, yep,
cheating divorce, you should die for that.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Give an organ? So what?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
He obviously knew that no one was going to award
him a kidney, so he said, either you give me
the kidney or the value of the kidney, and he
put the value at one point five million US dollars,
which I don't even know how where you pull that from,
but interestingly, or actually probably pretty obviously, the court ruled
that any organ may not be exchanged for value, but.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Also putting real tickets on yourself.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
If you think one kidney's one point five million, how
much do you think your total self is worth? How
do you break it down organ by organ.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
And put an individual pick the number from.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yeah, I think if you're going to give your organs
to someone, it has to be an altruistic gift that
knowing that even if the relationship breaks down or whatever
happens there, you've done it because at one time you
cared about them.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
But it is a.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Bit rich to take a kidney and also be having
an affair at the same time, Like that's pretty bad.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
It wasn't simultaneous. She gave it eighteen months and then
she had the affair. She got better, and then she got.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Well enough for an affair.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Hey, we've got to live on the phone. Hey live
at did your ex ask for back?
Speaker 5 (06:10):
My ex asked for a bottle of oyster sauce that
I threw out when we were moving out, and then
when I wouldn't give it back to him, he asked
me to transfer seven dollars to cover it.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
No brand was so attached to.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
It, really running the mill, Like I don't know I
am or whatever right and probably can't say brand names,
but yeah, literally just running the mill oyster sauce.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Hang on. To be clear, he asked for nothing else, None.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Of the furniture, the white goods, nothing like sentimental.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
He just wanted the oyster sauce.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Well, to be fair, he did actually want something else back.
He also asked for his packet of Stato sticks.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
He's got a problem. Do you know what the screams
to me of.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
You know, when someone will just find any excuse to
try and reach out and get back in touch with
their ex, like he's lost the plot.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Because this is all this does, is double down on
why the breakup.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Was to this. But it's not rational.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
It's just they're just so desperate to get some sort
of reply that they write crazy stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Did you transfer them? Do you ben?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Mom?
Speaker 5 (07:11):
To be fair, I did because I was like, I
can't be bothered with this. I don't want to see
you again. I'm going to keep your oyster sauce, and
I made a very good meal out of it.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Well done, showed him or a.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Tale as old as time that women have been lumped
with basically the responsibility of everything in the household.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
And that's much the poor men in the cars who
are like, mate, I do stuff too, Okay, not the household.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
With the responsibility of contraception. I should have been more specific.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
For as long as we could remember, the responsibility has
been on women to take the contraceptive pill to stop
a pregnancy. Obviously, there are other forms that we're not
going to get into detail right now.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Well, there's everything the marina, like all of that stuff,
like the one that you get injected into your arms,
and it.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
All falls on women.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
But there has been some brand new research and I
want to get your take on it. We are looking
imminently at a male contraceptive pill, so.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Talking about it for about to decades.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
No, they stopped it. So back in twenty sixteen, they
had developed one. They trialed it with men, and men
complained of having reactions. Now, mind you, the reactions were
like a headache, a bit of acne, a bit of bloating.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
So they stopped it. Blessed their souls.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
They stopped developing the pill, and they've started to work
on something else. They've come up with something that has
had zero effects on their testosterone, their sex drive, or.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Their hermonal imbalance.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
So it's really safe for men to take, and it's
looking to hit the shelves in like the end of
next year or to early twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
It's amazing. My question is, would you.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Entrust Matt, your husband, solely with the responsibility of contraception
to take this thing.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I don't know the details.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
I don't know if it's like every day or once
a week, or I don't know what it's going to
look like for them, but I feel like it's something
we've always wanted.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
We've always wanted to.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Be like, hey, you should have that responsibility, But now
that it's here, I'm not convinced I would trust it.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Matt's a pretty good admin man, like in terms of
my life, like he runs our house so old. He's
the person who makes sure the bills are paid and
the lights are on and the electricity's done.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Like, he's really good at admin.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
So I would trust him to take some I mean,
if he can take a protein shake every day, he
can go and get a male contraception.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
But I and maybe this is too much information, but
we're a sharing show.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I got pregnant with my first on the contraceptive pill,
so it was like completely by accident. And the contraceptive,
like women's contraceptive pill, is not one hundred percent effective
all of the time. It can be affected if you've
you know what. Lots of things can affect it. Apparently
they say in normal day to day use it's ninety
three percent effective around there and so.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Ninety nine percent, but they say in the real world
ninety three in case you forgot to take it for
a couple of hours or maybe you had vomiting or
something like that. But generally speaking, the effectiveness if you's
perfectly supposed to be ninety nine percents.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Yeah, but even ninety nine percent still one percent that's
one in every hundred people are still getting pregnant when
they're on the pill, which you know, when you think
about it from a timing perspective. And I remember going
into my GP and I was really upset and I
was like, I don't know how.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
This has happened. I'm on the pill.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
And she was like, well, when you think about that
statistic over the time you've been on the pill for
seventeen years, she's like one in one hundred people. She's like,
it's actually that statistic is not that improbable when you
think about it. And so I think it's a really
great secondary point for like, you know, for protection, because
I think if your husband's doing it and you're also
doing it and you're both on the same page, then
(10:33):
you really like it's not you're not gonna have any accidents,
are you.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Well. I just think it's interesting when you think if
you haven't been on the pill, and it's different for everybody,
but when you think of the effects that you have
as a woman, which can range from like small things
just like pains and sore breasts and skin problems, it's
hormonal everything, but there's a lot of serious things too,
like blood clots and heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, like,
(10:56):
there's so many things attached to the pill, but we
just have never really cared. We've always just been like, oh, well,
that's just how it is. So I think it's brilliant
that someone's actually put some time, money, and effort into
trying to make.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Something available for men.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
I just am interested to see how it's going to
land and how many men are going to say, you
know what, I'll do that.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah, And look, I think my opinion on this is
and everyone's going to be different.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Every woman's going.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
To be different because it is a burden that the
sole responsibility for contraception usually falls on the woman. However,
I would trust my husband. Would I trust some guy
that I've been barely dating. No, I wouldn't. Yeah, I'm
on it, no way. And the thing is, you wish
you could. But at the end of the day, pregnancy
is going to affect a woman. It's going to affect
me way more that's going to affect him. I'm the
(11:39):
one that has to make choices and live with the
decisions and potentially have another kid.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
So I think I can trust my husband. If you
can't trust your husband, you probably should recess.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Yes, I think the responsibility needs to be on all
parties involved. It takes two to ten go, That's what
I was trying to say, So that ten times fast.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
It does take too to take.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Britt, How would you feel if you were on a flight,
because you know, now, when it comes to like picking
seats and whatnot, almost everyone picks a seat, even if
you haven't paid for extra Usually pick your seat before
you bought a plane, right.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
How most people?
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Yeah, if you've got any sense, of course would no
one wants to be stuck near the toilets.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah, no, of course you would pick a seat. I
always do.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Okay, what would you do if you'd picked a seat
and someone came to you and asked to swap it
on a plane?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Well?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Why did they ask to swap it? And where is
the swap?
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Too?
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Well? But I mean, how long's a piece of string? War?
Speaker 4 (12:28):
If they asked me to swap the first class, Yeah,
I'm gonna swap.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Ask me to swap the duney can? All right?
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Well, Tom Cashman, now you guys might know if he
was on the project. Oh, he was about to say,
he's on the project. Gone the projects, no more task
masker task mask got god someone I don't want to
give you the green dream for me to sleep, I'll
do it.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
No.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Look, he's a comedian and he was recently on a
flight going from Singapore to London. He picked a seat,
he'd paid for it. He paid one hundred and eighty
nine dollars extra because the seat he has has absolutely
no one in front of it, Like he's extra so
much legal, like more than an exit row leg room,
Like it's an exceptional seat that he's got.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
He's even put the little map of the plane up
so that I can see.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
All right, So there is a man who has been
seated away from his fiance and he's asked to swat
with Tom and.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
This is what he has to say about it.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
What also pissed me off about this guy is, first
of all, he's in a relationship. He's got a fiance.
Congratulations to the beautiful couple. I don't have a fiance.
So he's rubbing my face in that. Not only that
he wasn't even tall, he was way less tall than
I am. Basically, this guy is asking for something he
doesn't need to enjoy, something in front of me.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
That I don't have the absolute audacity to ask someone
to swap seats. Firstly, when they're in an exit road
just because they're not sitting next to their partner, wouldn't
you ask.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
The other person on the other side, Well.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
You could, or you could ask like someone on the
other side of wherever your partner is sitting.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
That's what I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Who knows, but maybe they were sitting next to someone
who's a couple as well, and.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
That you think we're never going to get to the
bottom too.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
But what I would like to say here is absolutely
I would do what Tom did. I would not be
giving up that seat. No way you would posted on
social media. There is no way that if I had
paid for extra leg room and somebody said, can I
swap you for no reason? I think, or kids or anything,
it's not like, you know, like I would just say no.
But if I was in a normal seat, yeah, and
(14:17):
somebody asked me to swap to another normal seat so
they could sit with their partner, I would do that
for sure.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
But it's different.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
And I'm also thinking of like my husband Ben, he's
six foot five, he doesn't fit in a normal seat.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
There's no way he'd be giving up that seat either.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Okay, I have a question for you because I think
the tides have changed when it comes to parents and kids,
and I want to be careful. I would say this
because I don't think parents are being entitled by wanting
to sit with their children on planes. But there's definitely
been a few videos that have gone viral where you know,
people have asked to swap seats because they've either not
been located near their kids or it's been a bit
tricky for them, and people have said no. Now, you
(14:50):
have a right to say no to whatever you want
when it comes to your allocated seat on a plane.
I was recently on a plane with my husband, Matt,
and our two kids, and we'd booked four seats together,
but when we got to check in, we'd been moved,
so we'd been separated because apparently the booking had been split.
So Matt and Marley were put on a different seat,
so we were all in the same row. So imagine
(15:12):
like the six seats in a row, three seats on
one side, then the aisle, then three seats on the
other side. So Matt and Marley were against the window
on one side, and me and Lola were against the
window on the other side with two individual people sitting
in the aisle seat, which they'd obviously chosen.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Their aisle seat. It was very casual.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I was like, oh, just we're a family and we've
now got two people sitting between us. Is there any
chance that we can swap so that we've got the
aisle seats and you guys are in the window?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Fair enough? Both people said no.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
But I actually kind of felt I was like, you
guys don't know what you're doing, because we had to
spend the entire flight like passing over a cheese stick
or a coloring pencil or something, because the kids wanted
what each other had, and they were trying to speak
to each other over these two people the whole flight.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I felt so bad. Only place my.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Brain goes too is were they tall because people need
the leg room in the aisle or.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Do they have weak bladders? Because that's a whole other thing.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Not one of them got okay, not one of them
got up to use the loo?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Not one? But were they tall with their legs stretches,
which is normal?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Normal?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Like actually short of the meat? It was so weird.
Were they together? No?
Speaker 1 (16:20):
No, they weren't together. They were two individual people. And
I was honestly like, I don't care. We asked the question.
It wasn't a big deal, and obviously I do not
feel entitled for people to swop teaching me.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
We don't care.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Two weeks later, on a national radio show, this is
what happened.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
To know.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
It's not that.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
It's more so that I felt bad because then they
had to suffer through having two kids.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
But that's on them. You asked, you offered, No, you've
got nothing to feel bad about. I no, I did.
I did feel bad.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
There was a point where a cheese stick was being
passed over a random man that I.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Was like, I'm very sorry. I'm very sorry about this.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Nah, I'm you did the right thing, and you offered
up a swap so that they did not have to
be mid cheese stick fight.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
It's on them if they chose the cheese stick, all right,
I don't feel it bad about it anymore anyway.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Guys, Well, look that is it from us today. We're
out of here. We'll be back tomorrow with you know,
a whole lot more things to talk.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
