I don't much, but yeah, I know our big.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Get and what I want.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
It don't matter where. This is the pickup.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Happy Friday, everyone, it's the pick up. We read hockey
and Laura Burn stopped laughing at me. Producer Grace, you
know what we're calling this? Fun facts Friday?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Please never Why are we doing this? Didn't we do
it on Thursday?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
No, we did on Wednesday. Earlier in the week. I
read out some fun facts from this side. They weren't fun, Laura,
this one for you. They weren't fun, though, so you
know I had fun and they were facts, So I
think that's a fact in itself.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Look, guys, okay, hear me out.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Everyone remembers that Oprah episode where she was like, you
win a car, you get a car.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
That wasn't an episode. She did that every week. She
gave stuff Way every week.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Well apparently she actually gave Ways seven point six million.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Dollars worth of cars, So here.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
It is after Oprah's famous you Get a Car episode.
It was one episode that it was done on though,
but everyone in the audience. There was two hundred and
seventy six cars that were given away at a.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Total of seven point six million dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
However, three quarters of the recipients of those cars complained
to the show because they all were charged a tax
bill of six to seven thousand dollars because they want
a car.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
There you go, that's not a fun fact.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yeah, you never get no such a thing as a
free feed? Is that what they say?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
We need to talk or fair later ago, So, like,
I think we need to get.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
In this segment.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I don't know who gave Laura free range.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I think we should bring it in as a full
segment instead of just giving me like a little top
of the show. I reckon we every Friday.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I'm going to bring you a fact.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
I'd pun back Friday a grace on the case segment
to be honest.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
All right, well, look what's on the show today, britt Well.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
On the show today, we are talking weddings. A woman
gets kicked out her wedding for the dress code. As
if you would do it, but I do want to
ask you, Laura, because I have a dress code at
my own wedding.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Just so you know, at your hands.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Three quarters of the people I spoke to didn't know
that you have a dress code. So just you need
to be aware that people are wearing patterns to your
your wedding.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Read the wedding paper.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Okay, so my entire algorithm online, Laura is weddings. No surprise,
I am getting married. So you know, it just becomes
your whole life, like everything you get fed.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, mine is just babies and birth videos.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yeah, as soon as Instagram realized that I was pregnant,
it was just spitting out birth. Interesting, you don't want
that on your algorithm. I've seen enough.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Maybe for giving birth you do, I've done enough. I
love the wedding stuff that's been fed to me. I
absolutely love it. I get for you. I get a
lot of ideas from it, and I get a lot
of first dances and things like that really cute. But
there is this one that's going viral on TikTok at
the moment, and I actually am shook it to my
core that this is a thing that is happening. I
could not imagine ever doing this to a guest have
(03:08):
listened to this.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
So I am currently sitting in my car and we
have been here literally like a total of fifteen minutes,
and the bride comes up to me and tells me
that my outfit is inappropriate for her wedding. And that
was a supposed dress code that I didn't know existed
(03:30):
because I never got a wedding invitation mailed to my house.
It was a text message that my husband received. But
in twenty twenty five, is this what bride's do to
the guest?
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Now? Okay, So just to set this up a little
bit more, this woman went to this wedding with her
husband and the invite came through the husband. She drove
two hours to get there with two kids. She never
saw a formal invite. She gets in there, now she's
wearing like a three quarter dress, beautiful dress, but it's
it's not.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Overly much dress with a pattern.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
It's very geometric of blues, colored blocks and stuff like that,
Like it's very patent. If the dress code said no patterns,
it's pole opposite to that, right, But she doesn't even
know what the dress code is. Within fifteen minutes, the
bride told her to leave the wedding. I actually cannot
believe the audacity of the bride to do that. I
(04:22):
have on my wedding. My dress code is no big patterns,
like big loud patterns, which would probably include this, to
be honest, But I can hand on heart say, if
I arrive and there is a guest in a pattern
or a dress, there is no part of me there
would ever in a million year's dream of kicking that
person out, Like are your aesthetics more important to you
(04:42):
than the people you're supposed to love?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
You might not kick them out, but would you bitch
about them behind their back?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I would get them to stand off to the side.
I'd be like, could you just stand outside behind a tree?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
No? Your mom? And you're like, Mom, just go and
stand over there. No, look, I mean crazy.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Also, if you're inviting people to your wedding and you
care more about your dress code than the people that
are coming, I think that says a lot about the
type of wedding that you want. And it's not about
celebrating with your family and friends. It's about having the
photos for proof afterwards. Don't get me wrong, I understand
that people have dress codes for a reason. It can
be very, very frustrating when you have a dress code
and someone purposefully and willfully chooses to not abide by it.
(05:18):
Like when I sent you a photo of a dress
and I was like, I like this one, Brittain.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
You were like, that's patterned, and I was like, yeah,
that's nice.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Though she said can I wear this? And I said it's.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
A bit of a pattern but if you want, yeah,
that's good. I lie to that because you left it open, because.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
What I say is no, do it. No, I'm joking. No.
I was at a wedding once, and I'd love to
know what it would take for you, Laura, to ask
someone to not be at your wedding.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Like nothing where honestly nothing.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Oh look, if you came naked to my wedding, I
might tell my uncle to put some pants on. But like,
you know, apart from that, I don't think I had
a dress code. Actually I did. Do you know what
went out on our wedding invitation that.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Was a dress code?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Sexy?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
So I left my husband in charge of organizing that
side of things, like he did the invites and everything,
and we did it on that online wedding platform where
like you kind of feel everything out and it sends
out an automated digital wedding invite.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah, And because we weren't really sure of all the
prompts at the time, Matt went on and he just
filled out like funny shit that he thought would get changed,
and so he wrote dress sexy and that went out
to all our guests.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
And I came with side boob. I had a little
bit of side boob out and I got in trouble.
Laura was like, put your boob away.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I was like, well, we never got in you look great,
you look great. But it was a fantastic about a sideboob.
And look, some people did dress sex with my wedding.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I'm okay with it.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
I also went backless to.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
A look I understand.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
And I think this doesn't just go for weddings, it
goes for kind of any event. I think it's fine
to have a dress code if you've got a certain
idea in mind, but if someone rocks up and they
aren't in that dress code, they're probably not going to
feel that comfortable already.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
They're already probably going to feel like an outlier or
like they got it wrong.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
And making and drawing attention to that just makes you
a bit of an asshole, rather than you know, accepting
that you know, okay, well it's not ideal, but it's
not a big deal either.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
For me, I just think that, yeah, I think it's
gross and I would never, never, ever, ever, in my
life would I pull someone up for not dressing a
way that I thought was appropriate.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Also, I do not care what year we are in. Ever,
you don't send a wedding invitation by a text message
like we are not there yet, and if you are
sending your invites out, stop being so lazy. Online is fine,
everything is online. A text message, you know what it
makes me know?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
It makes me think that he got a formal invite
and he had an rsvp', and so the groom sent
a text message to be like, hey, do you.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Come into the wedding.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I would absolutely put money on the fact that a
formal if someone's that anal about their dress code, a
formal invitation went out and that man just did an
RSVP properly. So maybe they were already a bit of
a liability couple.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Maybe there's more to this.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Get him on the phone, will follow up.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Next live from the United States. No, I reckon.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
There's more to this, Okay, we'll get our investigators.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
On it now.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Bred I love my husband, I do I know. I
love him dearly. Matthew Johnson. He is a good dad,
He is a good man. But one thing that he
does is that every time he takes up a new hobby,
he goes hard. And now I'm talking like if he's
taken up running, he doesn't just go for like a
casual run like you know normal people do. He goes
(08:23):
and puts himself like sets a goal of like sixteen
kilometers a day for three weeks, and he'll do that,
which is exactly what he recently did. Then he'll start
a new hobby and now we're onto a brand new
thing that he's just recently discovered, and that is spearfishing.
The problem is is when he takes up new hobbies,
he also goes so deep on all the gear that
is required for said new hobby.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
So we like, you.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Can't ease yourself into it. You've got to go hard
and get all the top equipment or the top like
the running.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Shoes, doesn't loan things, doesn't just like borrow it from
a mate. He went spearfishing one time with a friend,
and I knew he'd had a really good time. Like
he came back, he was stoked, he was so excited
they caught some fish.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Whoo.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Anyway, I get a message from him.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I'm off with the kids and he's like, hey, babe,
I'm at the spearfishing store. And I was like, oh,
what does this mean? And he's like, I've got to
get some stuff. And I was like, all right, what
does that look like. He's also terrible for an upsell
as well, Like he is a salesperson's absolute dream. He
walks out, he's got the extra long fins, He's got
all of the gear. He's got a camouflage wetsuit so
(09:25):
that the fish can't see him. He's got a massive
spear gun. He's got a smaller spear gun. He has
every single thing that we now have a designated wall
in our garage for all of his spearfishing gear. You
would think that he is a pro. You would think
he's been spearfishing for.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
His entire life. He has been one.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
He has been one since getting the gear. I actually
think he has stuff in there he still hasn't used.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
All right, hear me out normally, I'm on your side.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
You have to be on my side with that.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
That is a lot of money on equipment that you're
not one hundred percent sure you're committed to.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Okay, So I have a confession. I did the exact
same thing with spearfishing.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I got such a weird shout from you, Bruce.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
I know I was a spearfisher one no.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
No, if you go spearfishing one time, you were not
a spearfisherman.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
And I can even tell you the brand, Rob Allen.
It was like top of the range spear gun. It
was like the one everyone wanted.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
I had the had.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I had a Camo steamer so head to toe I
had the lot. I had a weight belt, got the
weights right, did every weat belt.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
That's what he bought, a blood half weight belt. Yep.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
And I went spearfishing and I was like, this is
my new thing. My boyfriend at the time was a spearfisherman.
I wanted to be a spearfisherman. We went I'll never
forget it. We dove down and he set me up
for this. Actually, he dove down the first time. We're
floundering around turtles. Cute little fish, he's cute. Tried to
shoot a big fish missed it anyway, you're.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
About to say you tried to shoot a turtle.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
He went down and into this cave and came back up.
Because I was a surfer, I was in the ocean
a lot. I could actually dive quite low like, so
that's why I thought speedfish would be my thing. So
he's like, oh my god, babe, go down and have
a look at the fish in that cave. I was like, cool,
went down post my head in the cave. Wasn't a fish? Well,
actually it was a giant shark. I was looking a
giant shark in the eye.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I would have been like a little reef shark.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
It was obviously harm quote unquote harmless, which is why
he thought it was a funny prank. But I nearly
had a heart attack under the water, and that was
the day I quit. So I had all this spearfishing
stuff and I never did it again.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
I thought I was going to come on here and
make a point about Matt, but I feel like you're
one step worse. At least he'd done it once and
realized he liked it. You'd never even done it, and
you went and bought the stuff.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Well, no, I'd snorkeled around.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I just not spearfish.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I never shot the gun. So then I was like,
I'm ready to step this up.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
No, were you just defeated my point because I was
gonna say, I think it's a man thing. I think like, no,
it's I think dudes go hard. I think they go
and they buy all the stuff. Like at the time
Matt went and bought a drone because he thought he
wanted to do drone concept and then.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
He flew it straight into a tree. Are you mad?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I think I'm mad. I went and boughted the best
drone stuff and I did it once. I was like,
too hard.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Matt did it once and he flew it into a
gum tree and then he never got it repaired, and
that was it.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
That was our entire like you know, time with the drone.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Anyway, Sorry, I can't here on your side here.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Look, give us a call.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
If you've experienced this, if you do it yourself, if
your partner's done it.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
What is the thing that you went hard on and.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Then never ever did it again, Caitlin? What did you
is it?
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Was it you?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Was it your partner? What did you buy? My partner
does this like every two weeks. It's new hobbies.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
But I realized I am probably just as guilty. I
bought a pottery wheel and I have never taken it out.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Of the box. Where are you going to put it?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I lovely you see like knife home Weares. I'm like,
I want to be superstar in that department, and I've
just never tried. Do you know I get that. I've
always looked at the pottery people when they've got their
overalls on and they're outside and they're like really in
the moment, running their hands up and down and it's
splattering everywhere. I was like, I want to be that person.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
I think you've just watched.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Too many Ghosts or whatever that show is where they're
doing it together.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Well, this is your challenge. I didn't think I was
going to do it, Matturny Leave. I thought I was
going to just bust out all these cool things, like
a whole new debt plate set.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
But then I.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Got pregnant again and I had three kids in eighteen months,
and I have not that thing.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Well that's why you haven't done any pottery kids in
eighteen months?
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Why are we talking about that? Yeah, a lot of children.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
There's definitely no time you tell me it was one
of the twins or two of them twins?
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Okay, well yeah, because the math a't math and I.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Congratulations.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Also, you probably just need a nap, not pottery, get a.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
New hobby kids is Yeah what was I thinking?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Well, Okay, it's good to know it's not gendered and
that it's just everyone.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Yeah, it's definitely not just.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Now, Britt.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Do you remember it was two years ago we had
this conversation, But this is a real full circle moment everyone,
So hold on to your nickers. Do you remember the
egg cracking challenge that went viral a couple.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Of years back?
Speaker 1 (13:50):
How could I figure so the egg cracking challenge For
anyone who doesn't know what the hell I'm talking about,
it was basically like a whole heap of moms or
older sisters would say to the younger siblings or daughter
or child or whatever it was. And these kids were
really little. I'm talking like anywhere from three years old
up to maybe five.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Or The ones that I saw were mainly parents. I
know siblings probably did it, but the ones that I
saw and had a problem with were mainly the parents
doing it to like three, four or five year.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Old yeah, And basically what would happen is that the
parents would set up a camera and they would tell
their kids that we had to cook something. We're going
to like make a cake or bake some muffins or
whatever it was. And then instead of cracking the egg
into the bowl, you would crack the egg directly onto
the kid's forehead and get their reaction.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
And I don't know how this was ever funny to anyone.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I don't get it well.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
At the time, it was very viral and we had
a few things to say about it because I could
not see the humor in it. Have listened to this,
It is so cruel to be humiliating your children for content.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
And not only that.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I know it's just an egg, but try cracking an
egg on your skull.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
That hurts.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
And a little kid has such soft skin, they have
such soft head and doing that to them would only hurt.
How is any parent thinking this is okay? Now, there
has been some revelations since this has gone down, so
back in twenty twenty three, one of the first people
who's started this trend was a Swedish mother and she
racked up so many views on her TikTok by cracking
(15:14):
an egg on her daughter's head. Other people on the
internet felt just as I rate about this is what
I did. And it turns out that the incident was investigated.
So this you know, viral video that went and was
so widely shared, that is viral. Yeah, But when it
was investigated by authorities and it turns out that she
was found guilty of harassment and find two thousand dollars,
and it was argued at the time that it could have.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Lasting psychological effects on the child.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I just think it's interesting though, that something that so
many people were doing to try and engage the reaction
of their kids, the reactions were only negative.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
There were no kids really that laughed along. I found
it funny.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Well, she wasn't actually just fined. It was she was
charged with harassment. She had to pay her daughter, So
she had to pay her young daughter two thousand dollars,
which I think is funny because I'm sorry, like she
just going to pretend that this bank account is for
her daughter and then put in her own bank account.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Like nah, there would be like legislation and stuff around that.
But also, I mean, thinking about it, if she's a
content creator or if she's someone who's like, I don't
know exactly who this woman is. So if she's making
content around her kids and that's what's given her the
leg up to be a content creator and be a
viral creator, that also in and of itself is another issue.
So I love that she's been made to put this
money away and to kind of has been had her
(16:26):
hand forced in it going towards her kids and not
it being for her.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
I know that it's a lot of people out there
that are saying, oh, it's take a break, it's funny, relax.
I genuinely do not get the humor. I do not
get it, and I just think I'm not a parent,
but I just think if you have a three year
old and you are lulling them into a false sense
of security of like, let's bake this cake together, and
then like, yeah, surprised out of nowhere you throw an
(16:52):
egg at their head, what is that going to do
to the kid? Of course, they's going to have trust issues,
like it's never gonna want to listen to you again.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
I know.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
But then you like read the other side of the
internet and people are exactly you said, Britt with their
like take a joke, like if this is what's going
to cause trauma. Like you didn't see my childhood, and
I just think, like I think about doing it to
like Lola, for example, she's four. She would be so
excited to bake a cake with me, Like she'd be
so stoked to have that exercise or activity with mum.
So then to turn around and do that at her
(17:20):
and then laugh at her. I just still don't understand
what these people were trying to get out of it.
But like we said, you know, the Internet were very
angry about it. It was a very very like reactive
place when this started happening. And it turns out that
like a lot of people saw the way that we did,
and now she's in trouble for it.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Well hopeful right there, Yeah, And hopefully it sets the
standards and people stop using their kids to that level
of entertainment. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Anyway, guys, that is it from us today.

Happy Friday, everyone, it's the pick up. We read hockey
and Laura Burn stopped laughing at me. Producer Grace, you
know what we're calling this? Fun facts Friday?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Please never Why are we doing this? Didn't we do
it on Thursday?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
No, we did on Wednesday. Earlier in the week. I
read out some fun facts from this side. They weren't fun, Laura,
this one for you. They weren't fun, though, so you
know I had fun and they were facts, So I
think that's a fact in itself.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Look, guys, okay, hear me out.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Everyone remembers that Oprah episode where she was like, you
win a car, you get a car.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
That wasn't an episode. She did that every week. She
gave stuff Way every week.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Well apparently she actually gave Ways seven point six million.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Dollars worth of cars, So here.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
It is after Oprah's famous you Get a Car episode.
It was one episode that it was done on though,
but everyone in the audience. There was two hundred and
seventy six cars that were given away at a.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Total of seven point six million dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
However, three quarters of the recipients of those cars complained
to the show because they all were charged a tax
bill of six to seven thousand dollars because they want
a car.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
There you go, that's not a fun fact.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yeah, you never get no such a thing as a
free feed? Is that what they say?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
We need to talk or fair later ago, So, like,
I think we need to get.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
In this segment.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I don't know who gave Laura free range.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I think we should bring it in as a full
segment instead of just giving me like a little top
of the show. I reckon we every Friday.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I'm going to bring you a fact.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
I'd pun back Friday a grace on the case segment
to be honest.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
All right, well, look what's on the show today, britt Well.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
On the show today, we are talking weddings. A woman
gets kicked out her wedding for the dress code. As
if you would do it, but I do want to
ask you, Laura, because I have a dress code at
my own wedding.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Just so you know, at your hands.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Three quarters of the people I spoke to didn't know
that you have a dress code. So just you need
to be aware that people are wearing patterns to your
your wedding.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Read the wedding paper.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Okay, so my entire algorithm online, Laura is weddings. No surprise,
I am getting married. So you know, it just becomes
your whole life, like everything you get fed.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, mine is just babies and birth videos.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yeah, as soon as Instagram realized that I was pregnant,
it was just spitting out birth. Interesting, you don't want
that on your algorithm. I've seen enough.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Maybe for giving birth you do, I've done enough. I
love the wedding stuff that's been fed to me. I
absolutely love it. I get for you. I get a
lot of ideas from it, and I get a lot
of first dances and things like that really cute. But
there is this one that's going viral on TikTok at
the moment, and I actually am shook it to my
core that this is a thing that is happening. I
could not imagine ever doing this to a guest have
(03:08):
listened to this.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
So I am currently sitting in my car and we
have been here literally like a total of fifteen minutes,
and the bride comes up to me and tells me
that my outfit is inappropriate for her wedding. And that
was a supposed dress code that I didn't know existed
(03:30):
because I never got a wedding invitation mailed to my house.
It was a text message that my husband received. But
in twenty twenty five, is this what bride's do to
the guest?
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Now? Okay, So just to set this up a little
bit more, this woman went to this wedding with her
husband and the invite came through the husband. She drove
two hours to get there with two kids. She never
saw a formal invite. She gets in there, now she's
wearing like a three quarter dress, beautiful dress, but it's
it's not.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Overly much dress with a pattern.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
It's very geometric of blues, colored blocks and stuff like that,
Like it's very patent. If the dress code said no patterns,
it's pole opposite to that, right, But she doesn't even
know what the dress code is. Within fifteen minutes, the
bride told her to leave the wedding. I actually cannot
believe the audacity of the bride to do that. I
(04:22):
have on my wedding. My dress code is no big patterns,
like big loud patterns, which would probably include this, to
be honest, But I can hand on heart say, if
I arrive and there is a guest in a pattern
or a dress, there is no part of me there
would ever in a million year's dream of kicking that
person out, Like are your aesthetics more important to you
(04:42):
than the people you're supposed to love?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
You might not kick them out, but would you bitch
about them behind their back?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I would get them to stand off to the side.
I'd be like, could you just stand outside behind a tree?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
No? Your mom? And you're like, Mom, just go and
stand over there. No, look, I mean crazy.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Also, if you're inviting people to your wedding and you
care more about your dress code than the people that
are coming, I think that says a lot about the
type of wedding that you want. And it's not about
celebrating with your family and friends. It's about having the
photos for proof afterwards. Don't get me wrong, I understand
that people have dress codes for a reason. It can
be very, very frustrating when you have a dress code
and someone purposefully and willfully chooses to not abide by it.
(05:18):
Like when I sent you a photo of a dress
and I was like, I like this one, Brittain.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
You were like, that's patterned, and I was like, yeah,
that's nice.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Though she said can I wear this? And I said it's.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
A bit of a pattern but if you want, yeah,
that's good. I lie to that because you left it open, because.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
What I say is no, do it. No, I'm joking. No.
I was at a wedding once, and I'd love to
know what it would take for you, Laura, to ask
someone to not be at your wedding.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Like nothing where honestly nothing.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Oh look, if you came naked to my wedding, I
might tell my uncle to put some pants on. But like,
you know, apart from that, I don't think I had
a dress code. Actually I did. Do you know what
went out on our wedding invitation that.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Was a dress code?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Sexy?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
So I left my husband in charge of organizing that
side of things, like he did the invites and everything,
and we did it on that online wedding platform where
like you kind of feel everything out and it sends
out an automated digital wedding invite.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah, And because we weren't really sure of all the
prompts at the time, Matt went on and he just
filled out like funny shit that he thought would get changed,
and so he wrote dress sexy and that went out
to all our guests.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
And I came with side boob. I had a little
bit of side boob out and I got in trouble.
Laura was like, put your boob away.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I was like, well, we never got in you look great,
you look great. But it was a fantastic about a sideboob.
And look, some people did dress sex with my wedding.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I'm okay with it.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
I also went backless to.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
A look I understand.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
And I think this doesn't just go for weddings, it
goes for kind of any event. I think it's fine
to have a dress code if you've got a certain
idea in mind, but if someone rocks up and they
aren't in that dress code, they're probably not going to
feel that comfortable already.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
They're already probably going to feel like an outlier or
like they got it wrong.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
And making and drawing attention to that just makes you
a bit of an asshole, rather than you know, accepting
that you know, okay, well it's not ideal, but it's
not a big deal either.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
For me, I just think that, yeah, I think it's
gross and I would never, never, ever, ever, in my
life would I pull someone up for not dressing a
way that I thought was appropriate.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Also, I do not care what year we are in. Ever,
you don't send a wedding invitation by a text message
like we are not there yet, and if you are
sending your invites out, stop being so lazy. Online is fine,
everything is online. A text message, you know what it
makes me know?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
It makes me think that he got a formal invite
and he had an rsvp', and so the groom sent
a text message to be like, hey, do you.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Come into the wedding.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I would absolutely put money on the fact that a
formal if someone's that anal about their dress code, a
formal invitation went out and that man just did an
RSVP properly. So maybe they were already a bit of
a liability couple.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Maybe there's more to this.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Get him on the phone, will follow up.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Next live from the United States. No, I reckon.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
There's more to this, Okay, we'll get our investigators.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
On it now.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Bred I love my husband, I do I know. I
love him dearly. Matthew Johnson. He is a good dad,
He is a good man. But one thing that he
does is that every time he takes up a new hobby,
he goes hard. And now I'm talking like if he's
taken up running, he doesn't just go for like a
casual run like you know normal people do. He goes
(08:23):
and puts himself like sets a goal of like sixteen
kilometers a day for three weeks, and he'll do that,
which is exactly what he recently did. Then he'll start
a new hobby and now we're onto a brand new
thing that he's just recently discovered, and that is spearfishing.
The problem is is when he takes up new hobbies,
he also goes so deep on all the gear that
is required for said new hobby.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
So we like, you.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Can't ease yourself into it. You've got to go hard
and get all the top equipment or the top like
the running.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Shoes, doesn't loan things, doesn't just like borrow it from
a mate. He went spearfishing one time with a friend,
and I knew he'd had a really good time. Like
he came back, he was stoked, he was so excited
they caught some fish.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Whoo.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Anyway, I get a message from him.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I'm off with the kids and he's like, hey, babe,
I'm at the spearfishing store. And I was like, oh,
what does this mean? And he's like, I've got to
get some stuff. And I was like, all right, what
does that look like. He's also terrible for an upsell
as well, Like he is a salesperson's absolute dream. He
walks out, he's got the extra long fins, He's got
all of the gear. He's got a camouflage wetsuit so
(09:25):
that the fish can't see him. He's got a massive
spear gun. He's got a smaller spear gun. He has
every single thing that we now have a designated wall
in our garage for all of his spearfishing gear. You
would think that he is a pro. You would think
he's been spearfishing for.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
His entire life. He has been one.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
He has been one since getting the gear. I actually
think he has stuff in there he still hasn't used.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
All right, hear me out normally, I'm on your side.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
You have to be on my side with that.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
That is a lot of money on equipment that you're
not one hundred percent sure you're committed to.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Okay, So I have a confession. I did the exact
same thing with spearfishing.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I got such a weird shout from you, Bruce.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
I know I was a spearfisher one no.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
No, if you go spearfishing one time, you were not
a spearfisherman.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
And I can even tell you the brand, Rob Allen.
It was like top of the range spear gun. It
was like the one everyone wanted.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
I had the had.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I had a Camo steamer so head to toe I
had the lot. I had a weight belt, got the
weights right, did every weat belt.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
That's what he bought, a blood half weight belt. Yep.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
And I went spearfishing and I was like, this is
my new thing. My boyfriend at the time was a spearfisherman.
I wanted to be a spearfisherman. We went I'll never
forget it. We dove down and he set me up
for this. Actually, he dove down the first time. We're
floundering around turtles. Cute little fish, he's cute. Tried to
shoot a big fish missed it anyway, you're.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
About to say you tried to shoot a turtle.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
He went down and into this cave and came back up.
Because I was a surfer, I was in the ocean
a lot. I could actually dive quite low like, so
that's why I thought speedfish would be my thing. So
he's like, oh my god, babe, go down and have
a look at the fish in that cave. I was like, cool,
went down post my head in the cave. Wasn't a fish? Well,
actually it was a giant shark. I was looking a
giant shark in the eye.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I would have been like a little reef shark.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
It was obviously harm quote unquote harmless, which is why
he thought it was a funny prank. But I nearly
had a heart attack under the water, and that was
the day I quit. So I had all this spearfishing
stuff and I never did it again.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
I thought I was going to come on here and
make a point about Matt, but I feel like you're
one step worse. At least he'd done it once and
realized he liked it. You'd never even done it, and
you went and bought the stuff.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Well, no, I'd snorkeled around.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I just not spearfish.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I never shot the gun. So then I was like,
I'm ready to step this up.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
No, were you just defeated my point because I was
gonna say, I think it's a man thing. I think like, no,
it's I think dudes go hard. I think they go
and they buy all the stuff. Like at the time
Matt went and bought a drone because he thought he
wanted to do drone concept and then.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
He flew it straight into a tree. Are you mad?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I think I'm mad. I went and boughted the best
drone stuff and I did it once. I was like,
too hard.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Matt did it once and he flew it into a
gum tree and then he never got it repaired, and
that was it.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
That was our entire like you know, time with the drone.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Anyway, Sorry, I can't here on your side here.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Look, give us a call.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
If you've experienced this, if you do it yourself, if
your partner's done it.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
What is the thing that you went hard on and.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Then never ever did it again, Caitlin? What did you
is it?
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Was it you?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Was it your partner? What did you buy? My partner
does this like every two weeks. It's new hobbies.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
But I realized I am probably just as guilty. I
bought a pottery wheel and I have never taken it out.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Of the box. Where are you going to put it?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I lovely you see like knife home Weares. I'm like,
I want to be superstar in that department, and I've
just never tried. Do you know I get that. I've
always looked at the pottery people when they've got their
overalls on and they're outside and they're like really in
the moment, running their hands up and down and it's
splattering everywhere. I was like, I want to be that person.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
I think you've just watched.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Too many Ghosts or whatever that show is where they're
doing it together.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Well, this is your challenge. I didn't think I was
going to do it, Matturny Leave. I thought I was
going to just bust out all these cool things, like
a whole new debt plate set.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
But then I.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Got pregnant again and I had three kids in eighteen months,
and I have not that thing.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Well that's why you haven't done any pottery kids in
eighteen months?
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Why are we talking about that? Yeah, a lot of children.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
There's definitely no time you tell me it was one
of the twins or two of them twins?
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Okay, well yeah, because the math a't math and I.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Congratulations.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Also, you probably just need a nap, not pottery, get a.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
New hobby kids is Yeah what was I thinking?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Well, Okay, it's good to know it's not gendered and
that it's just everyone.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Yeah, it's definitely not just.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Now, Britt.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Do you remember it was two years ago we had
this conversation, But this is a real full circle moment everyone,
So hold on to your nickers. Do you remember the
egg cracking challenge that went viral a couple.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Of years back?
Speaker 1 (13:50):
How could I figure so the egg cracking challenge For
anyone who doesn't know what the hell I'm talking about,
it was basically like a whole heap of moms or
older sisters would say to the younger siblings or daughter
or child or whatever it was. And these kids were
really little. I'm talking like anywhere from three years old
up to maybe five.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Or The ones that I saw were mainly parents. I
know siblings probably did it, but the ones that I
saw and had a problem with were mainly the parents
doing it to like three, four or five year.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Old yeah, And basically what would happen is that the
parents would set up a camera and they would tell
their kids that we had to cook something. We're going
to like make a cake or bake some muffins or
whatever it was. And then instead of cracking the egg
into the bowl, you would crack the egg directly onto
the kid's forehead and get their reaction.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
And I don't know how this was ever funny to anyone.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I don't get it well.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
At the time, it was very viral and we had
a few things to say about it because I could
not see the humor in it. Have listened to this,
It is so cruel to be humiliating your children for content.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
And not only that.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I know it's just an egg, but try cracking an
egg on your skull.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
That hurts.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
And a little kid has such soft skin, they have
such soft head and doing that to them would only hurt.
How is any parent thinking this is okay? Now, there
has been some revelations since this has gone down, so
back in twenty twenty three, one of the first people
who's started this trend was a Swedish mother and she
racked up so many views on her TikTok by cracking
(15:14):
an egg on her daughter's head. Other people on the
internet felt just as I rate about this is what
I did. And it turns out that the incident was investigated.
So this you know, viral video that went and was
so widely shared, that is viral. Yeah, But when it
was investigated by authorities and it turns out that she
was found guilty of harassment and find two thousand dollars,
and it was argued at the time that it could have.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Lasting psychological effects on the child.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I just think it's interesting though, that something that so
many people were doing to try and engage the reaction
of their kids, the reactions were only negative.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
There were no kids really that laughed along. I found
it funny.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Well, she wasn't actually just fined. It was she was
charged with harassment. She had to pay her daughter, So
she had to pay her young daughter two thousand dollars,
which I think is funny because I'm sorry, like she
just going to pretend that this bank account is for
her daughter and then put in her own bank account.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Like nah, there would be like legislation and stuff around that.
But also, I mean, thinking about it, if she's a
content creator or if she's someone who's like, I don't
know exactly who this woman is. So if she's making
content around her kids and that's what's given her the
leg up to be a content creator and be a
viral creator, that also in and of itself is another issue.
So I love that she's been made to put this
money away and to kind of has been had her
(16:26):
hand forced in it going towards her kids and not
it being for her.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
I know that it's a lot of people out there
that are saying, oh, it's take a break, it's funny, relax.
I genuinely do not get the humor. I do not
get it, and I just think I'm not a parent,
but I just think if you have a three year
old and you are lulling them into a false sense
of security of like, let's bake this cake together, and
then like, yeah, surprised out of nowhere you throw an
(16:52):
egg at their head, what is that going to do
to the kid? Of course, they's going to have trust issues,
like it's never gonna want to listen to you again.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
I know.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
But then you like read the other side of the
internet and people are exactly you said, Britt with their
like take a joke, like if this is what's going
to cause trauma. Like you didn't see my childhood, and
I just think, like I think about doing it to
like Lola, for example, she's four. She would be so
excited to bake a cake with me, Like she'd be
so stoked to have that exercise or activity with mum.
So then to turn around and do that at her
(17:20):
and then laugh at her. I just still don't understand
what these people were trying to get out of it.
But like we said, you know, the Internet were very
angry about it. It was a very very like reactive
place when this started happening. And it turns out that
like a lot of people saw the way that we did,
and now she's in trouble for it.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Well hopeful right there, Yeah, And hopefully it sets the
standards and people stop using their kids to that level
of entertainment. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Anyway, guys, that is it from us today.
