We're always here to pick up with Brittin Holy and
Laura Ben.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Get in there, britt Well, I.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Was going to say something, but you kept going. I
was looking, true, I was like, when when do I
come in?
Speaker 5 (00:51):
Yeah? Anything else you want to say?
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Or can I No?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
No, I forgot getting bracks and Hicks at the moment,
but there was a joke.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
I want to say the thing It actually has to
do with that, though.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
I just read this.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Morning, and you tell me because I have not birthed
a child or been pregnant, but I read that apart
like the energy exertion in pregnancy for you to grow
a child is the same as like running a marathon
every day, like every single day. Apparently that's how much
your body is using up just to function and.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Grow a child. I mean I've been pregnant three times now,
and I've never run a marathon because it feels particularly hard.
I'm not gonna say having a baby is easier than
running a marathon, but I would say being pregnant is
easier than running back to back marathon.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
But I don't think it's.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
A difficulty eat level, Like you don't train. I mean,
you do put a lot of practice to get pregnant,
but you don't train to have a baby.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
We trained, what are you talking about?
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Trained once? That was a little long training session.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
We trained once a little bit hungover on newsday, and
then we had a baby.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
And here we are.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah, So anyway, I just want to congratulate you for
running multiple marathons.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I do feel like I've been running a marathon. I'm
nearing the end every time I get Braxton Hicks. Now,
being so close to due date, I am kind of
convinced I'm going into labor. So I found myself googling
am I in labor several times in.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
The last few days.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
We just went to get lunch and Laura went, Ooh,
something's happening that's pushing down.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
I was like, I don't know if it's coming. I
was like, well, we've got Radio two.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yeah, we've We'll get through today's show. Can't promise on
tomorrow show, Britt. Yesterday, it was a very big day
in my relationship with my husband, Matt. It was our
eight year anniversary, but not your typical anniversary. So we
have a couple of anniversaries because when we met. For
anyone who doesn't know, I met my husband on the
(02:31):
twenty seventeen Bachelor. You know the Bachelor. Yeah, he was
the Bachelor and I was a contestant, and we met
on that show, fell in love whilst he was dating
twenty four other women. Conventional so romantic, isn't it, I know,
did you only have twenty four?
Speaker 5 (02:44):
I had thirty women.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
There was thirty women on your season, which makes it
more impressive that I got to the.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
End that had LEAs shoes, had less choice.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
That's probably why I want to be honest.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
No, So we have got quite a few anniversaries. We've
got the when we first met anniversary, except we can't
really celebrate that because he was dating twenty four other women.
Then we have when he chose me in Thailand, so
that was in like that's when the filming ended and
we actually decided to be together.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
I choose I choose you, and.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Then he had to We had to keep it quiet
for five months. We had to keep a secret about
our relationship.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
Do you have a public anniversary as well?
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Well?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
We used to sneak around so like me and wigs
and him wearing like weird trench coat stuff that you
were umbrella. Yes, that Channel ten made me. I had
to sneak around in outfits. The reason why they do
this just to give you a peek behind the curtain
is because they don't want phaps.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
To get photos of you.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
So we had to sneak around for five months. But
yesterday was eight years since our finale episode played out
across the country.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
If you congrats have your anniversary yay.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
I don't know it's for me.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
It feels so weird to watch it back because I think, firstly,
we have so much collage and we look so young.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Secondly, we look so awkward. It's like we barely know
each other.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Well, you don't know each other.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
But speaking of how uncomfortable you are to walk down
memory lane, Producer Grace and I got upon ourselves to
go and get that final moment, and we want to
play it for you all right now, you look stunning.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (04:18):
I didn't really know what to expect, really when I
decided to come back here. I didn't know if it
would be difficult to fall in love again, and I
didn't even know if anybody would fall in love with me.
The only thing I was certain of was what kind
of woman I wanted to meet. Somebody who was really intelligent,
(04:42):
somebody who was confident and ambitious they wouldn't be afraid
to chase their dreams, and somebody who was fearless enough
to go on any adventure, even if it meant trying
to fall in love with a guy who was dating
twenty one women.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
It's okay, whatever it is, it's okay.
Speaker 7 (05:03):
I've replayed this moment in my mind so many times,
and that's really.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Hard because we were so close.
Speaker 7 (05:11):
Get the right words out.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Just God, if you're going to do it, and do
it at this point.
Speaker 7 (05:21):
Day, Laura, I love you.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Oh hang on, no context. I had been told by
producers that day that he was not going to choose me,
so I walked into the finale.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Can they actually tell you that, because they usually just
let you believe it with things that they say, but
they never usually say it.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
So they said, today is not going to go the
way that you expect it to, and just prepare to
accept it with dignity and grace. There is no other
way to interpret that. I went in there thinking it
was going to be a fun, silly experience, and then
I did actually have feelings for him, and I felt
so stupid. I was like, I've just humiliated myself on
national TV for this guy who's now gonna run away
(06:08):
the other girl.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Anyway, So I talking to me about humiliations. Just to
know your audience, Laura, I was the first person to
win a Bachelor not win any at.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Least he didn't choose anyone on your Bachelors season, which.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
I feel like it is better.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I think it's fine solidarity in numbers.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
I think it's fine.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
She's about to have a third baby to the Bachelor.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
So I walked up there really expecting him to say
no because I had been led. And you know why,
because they get a really great reaction. If you walked
up there all cocky and confident, you'd be like, yeah,
I know you're gonna say yes, and I'm so happy. Yeah,
And it just wouldn't have that dramatic effect.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
So is that why you were whispering? For the dramatic effect?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Your whole thing was like, just okay, that's my stuff.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
No, we were in a very close proximity to each other.
We were talking.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Normal anyway, and he really dragged it out by so
many deep sigh breasthts.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I thought he was delivering a shit sandwich.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
And then when he said it, I didn't know, like
I really had this just huge emotional whiplash. Anyway, eight
years ago today, and then we watched that on TV
and we thought it was going to be the best
moment of our lives.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
But then the online trolling came and so we sat
there and cried and we went to sleep. It was
a miserable night.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Okay, hang on, we're happy now go im.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Third kid is good.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
I want to give you a pick me up that moment.
You might not know, but that changed people's lives, Laura.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
And he changed my life. I'll be honest. The whisper.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Let me just repeat it. You're that's okay, what.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Happens, It's okay. Just if you're going to do it,
do it now.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
No, that particular moment, because we have someone that actually
wrote in Kate Miller.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Bespoke, who said, quote.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Whatever it is, it's okay, and then she said, this
moment changed my life. Laura, I'm not even joking. I
loved the way you said that to him. I understood
it in that second that this was real and not
just TV, and that you just wanted him to be
happy and fulfilled even if it wasn't With you, you.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Helped me understand true love and it has changed the
way that I love, so that that whisper has changed
people's lives.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Okay, that is very very sweet.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
I don't feel like I did anything groundbreaking.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I think I was just trying to hold it together
on national TV and not make a total tit of
myself anyway.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
Were happy for you? Happy eight year? It's kind of
nice reality TV eight.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Years, locked and loaded and about to go into having
baby number three. It really did change my life, Cape Bespoke,
It certainly did. Now there's been a bit of a
trend recently of like very wealthy celebrities or entrepreneurs talking
about how they're not going to leave any of their
inheritance to their children.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
That's not a trend. I want to personally be a part.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Of you want your parents to leave all of that.
If they were to be super famous, super wealthy, you
would expect at least a bit of a kickback, some
little some little sweetener, like a.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Drip feet every year, like you don't know what it's coming.
But then power like a couple of Hundy.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Well Gordon Ramsey, he's like the newest person to join
the ranks of this so he recently he's worth six
hundred and ten million pound is kind of his estimated network.
That's like one point billion, is it? The mass is
not my The mass ain't maths in today. But no, look,
he's not going to leave anything to his kids. He
doesn't want to spoil them. The only thing that he
has agreed to leave with his wife, Tana, is that
(09:22):
that kids are going to get a twenty five percent
deposit on a flat, not the whole flat, just to
deposit for the flat, because he doesn't want them to
grow up thinking that they don't need to work hard
and build a life for themselves like he had to do.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
I have a theory.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I don't believe it.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
All of these billionaires that are saying they're leaving nothing
to their kids, I do not believe it. I think
they have secret squirrel money. They've got everything set up.
They're going to be left houses, they're never going to
have to worry. But I think a public facing it
makes them sound better, and it makes it sound like
whatever the kids do, they're doing it.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
For the right reason whatever else.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
And I think maybe he lets the kids believe that
so that they are hustling for themselves and then they'll
get like a death bonus.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
So okay, you think that they're saying this so that
way the kids don't grow up thinking that they're on
the silver spoon.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
And if they have to hustle, and yes, and it
makes them look better publicly, Like it seems to be
this thing where anyone that's a billionaire that leaves all
the money to someone else, people are like, cool, you
should be giving that to charities.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
And I think it's for a public facing pr kind
of thing.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
And I do think it's so that those kids don't
know what's coming and they do work hard for something.
You know what I mean, If your dad had a
billion dollars and all he gave you in this current
financial climate was a twenty percent to posit on a flat.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Like what I mean, I actually think you're probably go
onto a brit the whole resilience building. It's hard enough
to build resilience in kids these days, let alone build
resilience when they grow up knowing that they are so
ultra wealthy that they don't have to do anything or
work for it.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
But imagine the resentment Laura, that they would feel for
their dad for the rest of their life if they
knew that he could have helped make their life easy
and he didn't like when he passed. You'd be like,
if you dad, sorry, If your parents were billionaires and
they left you nothing and then passed away and they're like, haha.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I gave it away, you'd be like, I don't know.
I also don't think that you're just entitled to your parents'
inheritance just because they're your parents.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
I think if they want to do it's no.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
But if they the only reason why, I think maybe
Gordon Ramsay might be slightly different. So he travels first
class when he flies. He's got six kids, he's got
a lot of kids to split the love between. But
when he travels and flies internationally or flies anywhere, really,
he travels first class. He puts his kids in economy
and he says this, I do not want them to
(11:35):
be sat there with a ten course effing menu with champagne.
I am not embarrassed. It is my wife an I's
choice to discipline them and to keep them real.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
He literally puts them in.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Economy and he will fly first class and says see
later children.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
For I think that's fine, and I think that is
resilience building. Like I think they're the things that are okay.
But not leaving your kids anything when you have that
much money is crazy.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
It is why I don't believe it.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
But it's been a real thing. I think a lot
of people have been talking about it lately. A lot
of celebrities have come forward and said this. Warren Buffett,
Ashton Kutcher, Milkounas said that they're not going to leave
anything to their kids, Elton, John Daniel Craig, Bill Gates,
Mark Zuckerberg. I mean, imagine your dad being Mark Zuckerberg
and him coming out and saying he's going to donate
his entire wealth to charity, nothing to the children. It
(12:22):
is interesting.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
I just don't.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Believe nothing to the kids means not even like a
have roof over their head or anything like I think
when you're a.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Billionaire, nothing is a ten light. Yes, is like the.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
One hundred million because they can They could lose a
hundred million dollars cash down the drain and wouldn't touch them.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Well, Gordon, if you want to give it to someone else,
you can always give it to me.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
We're just putting that out there.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
That sponsored the pick up.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Laura.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
There's this story that I sort of saw floating around
a couple of years ago, and I didn't think much
of it until recently when there was a bit of
a like a final tie up. So it's about wedding crashes.
In twenty twenty one, there was this Scottish couple that
got married beautiful, lovely. When they were going back through
all their wedding photos, there's this.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Like one guy.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Because it's not a big wedding and I've got some
pictures there for you to look at, but there's this
one guy that's really tall and gangly and he's really
stand out. And they were like, oh, who's that Is
that someone on your side? And the groom was like, no,
I thought that was someone on your side, And they
realized that this is just a stranger.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
He really does stand out.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Because he's about a foot half taller than every other guess.
There's even a picture of him, like in the back
of a group shot here.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
So he's in every photo.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
He's like, he's so involved, he's only like three seats
back from the actual ceremony.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
He's in all the group photos. Anyway, they could not
fill life of them figure it out.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
They posted on Facebook to all of their friends everyone
that was involved in the wedding.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Hey, who knows who this person is? No one.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
For four years, they have no idea.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Who this person was at their wedding.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
And so eventually, because it was driving him insane, they
reached out to this like quite a famous Scottish content creator.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
His name's Daza, because he had a bigger platform.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
They were like, hey, what are the odds like you
can talk about this and we'll end up finding out
who it is. So his name's Andrew, This tall, gangly stranger,
his name's Andrew. And this is the explanation as to
why he crashed somebody's wedding.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
Andrew was invited as a plus one to the partner's
friend Michaela's wedding. So Andrew was running a wee bit late.
So when he pulled up to the venue, the rang
venue of my dad, and he's seen the piper gone in,
and then he's seen the hundsy well dressed people gone in,
so he just assumed I'm in the right place. No,
you'll know, Andrew had never met the groom before and
the only people that he did know were part of
the wedding, so it would have made sense that he
(14:31):
walked in and did they recognize anybody? But then the
music starts, everybody storms up, turns around to look at
the bride, and Andrew realizes he's getting the idea who
any of these people are?
Speaker 3 (14:42):
No, I didn't date drive into this, So what happens
is exactly that he turns up and he's l like,
so he only knew them through his partner, and his
partner was in the bridal party. It's why she wasn't
with him right, so he knew that he was going
to go sit on his own while she walked.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Down the aisle. Then there would be together again.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
So he's gone down quite close down the front, and
then it's only when the bridal party starts walking in
that he's like, where is my part?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
But he doesn't need to be in the photos. I'm sorry,
that's an active choice. Then he said, I don't believe
that part. He did not need to stay and get
into the back of the photos in the group family shop.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
So he said he talks about that so you can
even see the photos.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
He's like avoiding eye contact and looking down when he realizes,
and he says, he says, I realized early on in
this when the ceremony started. But he's like, it's too
rude to then get up in the middle of a ceremony.
So he committed to the ceremony. Then he tried to
sneak out after, but the photographer ushered him in for
the group photos.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
No, no, you speak up.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
You cannot be that conflict, avoid it in your life
that you can't say sorry, I just got to go
to the toilet. There is a way out of this situation.
He made it worse actively.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
But you know what, at my wedding, Like I got
married two three months ago now, But at my wedding,
because Ben and I my husband and I are long distance,
and there's so many people in each other's lives.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
We don't know.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
There's people you'd never met before.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
There could have been twenty five strangers there.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Neither of us would have known because we would have
just assumed that they were on the other people's side.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
At least now that I mean, I know this photo
was taken a while ago, but now that we have
like you know, AI and everything else, that are very
easy to remove him, Like you could remove him from
every single one of these. Unfortunately he's blocking an actual
family member in that one, but the rest of them
you could just take him out.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
It also means he misses the actual when he Anyway,
let's get out of here.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
We are done for the day.

Yeah? Anything else you want to say?

Or can I No?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
No, I forgot getting bracks and Hicks at the moment,
but there was a joke.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
I want to say the thing It actually has to
do with that, though.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
I just read this.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Morning, and you tell me because I have not birthed
a child or been pregnant, but I read that apart
like the energy exertion in pregnancy for you to grow
a child is the same as like running a marathon
every day, like every single day. Apparently that's how much
your body is using up just to function and.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Grow a child. I mean I've been pregnant three times now,
and I've never run a marathon because it feels particularly hard.
I'm not gonna say having a baby is easier than
running a marathon, but I would say being pregnant is
easier than running back to back marathon.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
But I don't think it's.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
A difficulty eat level, Like you don't train. I mean,
you do put a lot of practice to get pregnant,
but you don't train to have a baby.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
We trained, what are you talking about?
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Trained once? That was a little long training session.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
We trained once a little bit hungover on newsday, and
then we had a baby.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
And here we are.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah, So anyway, I just want to congratulate you for
running multiple marathons.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I do feel like I've been running a marathon. I'm
nearing the end every time I get Braxton Hicks. Now,
being so close to due date, I am kind of
convinced I'm going into labor. So I found myself googling
am I in labor several times in.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
The last few days.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
We just went to get lunch and Laura went, Ooh,
something's happening that's pushing down.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
I was like, I don't know if it's coming. I
was like, well, we've got Radio two.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yeah, we've We'll get through today's show. Can't promise on
tomorrow show, Britt. Yesterday, it was a very big day
in my relationship with my husband, Matt. It was our
eight year anniversary, but not your typical anniversary. So we
have a couple of anniversaries because when we met. For
anyone who doesn't know, I met my husband on the
(02:31):
twenty seventeen Bachelor. You know the Bachelor. Yeah, he was
the Bachelor and I was a contestant, and we met
on that show, fell in love whilst he was dating
twenty four other women. Conventional so romantic, isn't it, I know,
did you only have twenty four?
Speaker 5 (02:44):
I had thirty women.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
There was thirty women on your season, which makes it
more impressive that I got to the.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
End that had LEAs shoes, had less choice.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
That's probably why I want to be honest.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
No, So we have got quite a few anniversaries. We've
got the when we first met anniversary, except we can't
really celebrate that because he was dating twenty four other women.
Then we have when he chose me in Thailand, so
that was in like that's when the filming ended and
we actually decided to be together.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
I choose I choose you, and.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Then he had to We had to keep it quiet
for five months. We had to keep a secret about
our relationship.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
Do you have a public anniversary as well?
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Well?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
We used to sneak around so like me and wigs
and him wearing like weird trench coat stuff that you
were umbrella. Yes, that Channel ten made me. I had
to sneak around in outfits. The reason why they do
this just to give you a peek behind the curtain
is because they don't want phaps.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
To get photos of you.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
So we had to sneak around for five months. But
yesterday was eight years since our finale episode played out
across the country.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
If you congrats have your anniversary yay.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
I don't know it's for me.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
It feels so weird to watch it back because I think, firstly,
we have so much collage and we look so young.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Secondly, we look so awkward. It's like we barely know
each other.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Well, you don't know each other.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
But speaking of how uncomfortable you are to walk down
memory lane, Producer Grace and I got upon ourselves to
go and get that final moment, and we want to
play it for you all right now, you look stunning.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (04:18):
I didn't really know what to expect, really when I
decided to come back here. I didn't know if it
would be difficult to fall in love again, and I
didn't even know if anybody would fall in love with me.
The only thing I was certain of was what kind
of woman I wanted to meet. Somebody who was really intelligent,
(04:42):
somebody who was confident and ambitious they wouldn't be afraid
to chase their dreams, and somebody who was fearless enough
to go on any adventure, even if it meant trying
to fall in love with a guy who was dating
twenty one women.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
It's okay, whatever it is, it's okay.
Speaker 7 (05:03):
I've replayed this moment in my mind so many times,
and that's really.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Hard because we were so close.
Speaker 7 (05:11):
Get the right words out.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Just God, if you're going to do it, and do
it at this point.
Speaker 7 (05:21):
Day, Laura, I love you.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Oh hang on, no context. I had been told by
producers that day that he was not going to choose me,
so I walked into the finale.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Can they actually tell you that, because they usually just
let you believe it with things that they say, but
they never usually say it.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
So they said, today is not going to go the
way that you expect it to, and just prepare to
accept it with dignity and grace. There is no other
way to interpret that. I went in there thinking it
was going to be a fun, silly experience, and then
I did actually have feelings for him, and I felt
so stupid. I was like, I've just humiliated myself on
national TV for this guy who's now gonna run away
(06:08):
the other girl.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Anyway, So I talking to me about humiliations. Just to
know your audience, Laura, I was the first person to
win a Bachelor not win any at.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Least he didn't choose anyone on your Bachelors season, which.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
I feel like it is better.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I think it's fine solidarity in numbers.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
I think it's fine.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
She's about to have a third baby to the Bachelor.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
So I walked up there really expecting him to say
no because I had been led. And you know why,
because they get a really great reaction. If you walked
up there all cocky and confident, you'd be like, yeah,
I know you're gonna say yes, and I'm so happy. Yeah,
And it just wouldn't have that dramatic effect.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
So is that why you were whispering? For the dramatic effect?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Your whole thing was like, just okay, that's my stuff.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
No, we were in a very close proximity to each other.
We were talking.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Normal anyway, and he really dragged it out by so
many deep sigh breasthts.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I thought he was delivering a shit sandwich.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
And then when he said it, I didn't know, like
I really had this just huge emotional whiplash. Anyway, eight
years ago today, and then we watched that on TV
and we thought it was going to be the best
moment of our lives.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
But then the online trolling came and so we sat
there and cried and we went to sleep. It was
a miserable night.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Okay, hang on, we're happy now go im.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Third kid is good.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
I want to give you a pick me up that moment.
You might not know, but that changed people's lives, Laura.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
And he changed my life. I'll be honest. The whisper.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Let me just repeat it. You're that's okay, what.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Happens, It's okay. Just if you're going to do it,
do it now.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
No, that particular moment, because we have someone that actually
wrote in Kate Miller.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Bespoke, who said, quote.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Whatever it is, it's okay, and then she said, this
moment changed my life. Laura, I'm not even joking. I
loved the way you said that to him. I understood
it in that second that this was real and not
just TV, and that you just wanted him to be
happy and fulfilled even if it wasn't With you, you.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Helped me understand true love and it has changed the
way that I love, so that that whisper has changed
people's lives.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Okay, that is very very sweet.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
I don't feel like I did anything groundbreaking.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I think I was just trying to hold it together
on national TV and not make a total tit of
myself anyway.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
Were happy for you? Happy eight year? It's kind of
nice reality TV eight.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Years, locked and loaded and about to go into having
baby number three. It really did change my life, Cape Bespoke,
It certainly did. Now there's been a bit of a
trend recently of like very wealthy celebrities or entrepreneurs talking
about how they're not going to leave any of their
inheritance to their children.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
That's not a trend. I want to personally be a part.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Of you want your parents to leave all of that.
If they were to be super famous, super wealthy, you
would expect at least a bit of a kickback, some
little some little sweetener, like a.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Drip feet every year, like you don't know what it's coming.
But then power like a couple of Hundy.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Well Gordon Ramsey, he's like the newest person to join
the ranks of this so he recently he's worth six
hundred and ten million pound is kind of his estimated network.
That's like one point billion, is it? The mass is
not my The mass ain't maths in today. But no, look,
he's not going to leave anything to his kids. He
doesn't want to spoil them. The only thing that he
has agreed to leave with his wife, Tana, is that
(09:22):
that kids are going to get a twenty five percent
deposit on a flat, not the whole flat, just to
deposit for the flat, because he doesn't want them to
grow up thinking that they don't need to work hard
and build a life for themselves like he had to do.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
I have a theory.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I don't believe it.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
All of these billionaires that are saying they're leaving nothing
to their kids, I do not believe it. I think
they have secret squirrel money. They've got everything set up.
They're going to be left houses, they're never going to
have to worry. But I think a public facing it
makes them sound better, and it makes it sound like
whatever the kids do, they're doing it.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
For the right reason whatever else.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
And I think maybe he lets the kids believe that
so that they are hustling for themselves and then they'll
get like a death bonus.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
So okay, you think that they're saying this so that
way the kids don't grow up thinking that they're on
the silver spoon.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
And if they have to hustle, and yes, and it
makes them look better publicly, Like it seems to be
this thing where anyone that's a billionaire that leaves all
the money to someone else, people are like, cool, you
should be giving that to charities.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
And I think it's for a public facing pr kind
of thing.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
And I do think it's so that those kids don't
know what's coming and they do work hard for something.
You know what I mean, If your dad had a
billion dollars and all he gave you in this current
financial climate was a twenty percent to posit on a flat.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Like what I mean, I actually think you're probably go
onto a brit the whole resilience building. It's hard enough
to build resilience in kids these days, let alone build
resilience when they grow up knowing that they are so
ultra wealthy that they don't have to do anything or
work for it.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
But imagine the resentment Laura, that they would feel for
their dad for the rest of their life if they
knew that he could have helped make their life easy
and he didn't like when he passed. You'd be like,
if you dad, sorry, If your parents were billionaires and
they left you nothing and then passed away and they're like, haha.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I gave it away, you'd be like, I don't know.
I also don't think that you're just entitled to your parents'
inheritance just because they're your parents.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
I think if they want to do it's no.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
But if they the only reason why, I think maybe
Gordon Ramsay might be slightly different. So he travels first
class when he flies. He's got six kids, he's got
a lot of kids to split the love between. But
when he travels and flies internationally or flies anywhere, really,
he travels first class. He puts his kids in economy
and he says this, I do not want them to
(11:35):
be sat there with a ten course effing menu with champagne.
I am not embarrassed. It is my wife an I's
choice to discipline them and to keep them real.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
He literally puts them in.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Economy and he will fly first class and says see
later children.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
For I think that's fine, and I think that is
resilience building. Like I think they're the things that are okay.
But not leaving your kids anything when you have that
much money is crazy.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
It is why I don't believe it.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
But it's been a real thing. I think a lot
of people have been talking about it lately. A lot
of celebrities have come forward and said this. Warren Buffett,
Ashton Kutcher, Milkounas said that they're not going to leave
anything to their kids, Elton, John Daniel Craig, Bill Gates,
Mark Zuckerberg. I mean, imagine your dad being Mark Zuckerberg
and him coming out and saying he's going to donate
his entire wealth to charity, nothing to the children. It
(12:22):
is interesting.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
I just don't.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Believe nothing to the kids means not even like a
have roof over their head or anything like I think
when you're a.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Billionaire, nothing is a ten light. Yes, is like the.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
One hundred million because they can They could lose a
hundred million dollars cash down the drain and wouldn't touch them.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Well, Gordon, if you want to give it to someone else,
you can always give it to me.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
We're just putting that out there.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
That sponsored the pick up.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Laura.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
There's this story that I sort of saw floating around
a couple of years ago, and I didn't think much
of it until recently when there was a bit of
a like a final tie up. So it's about wedding crashes.
In twenty twenty one, there was this Scottish couple that
got married beautiful, lovely. When they were going back through
all their wedding photos, there's this.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Like one guy.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Because it's not a big wedding and I've got some
pictures there for you to look at, but there's this
one guy that's really tall and gangly and he's really
stand out. And they were like, oh, who's that Is
that someone on your side? And the groom was like, no,
I thought that was someone on your side, And they
realized that this is just a stranger.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
He really does stand out.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Because he's about a foot half taller than every other guess.
There's even a picture of him, like in the back
of a group shot here.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
So he's in every photo.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
He's like, he's so involved, he's only like three seats
back from the actual ceremony.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
He's in all the group photos. Anyway, they could not
fill life of them figure it out.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
They posted on Facebook to all of their friends everyone
that was involved in the wedding.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Hey, who knows who this person is? No one.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
For four years, they have no idea.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Who this person was at their wedding.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
And so eventually, because it was driving him insane, they
reached out to this like quite a famous Scottish content creator.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
His name's Daza, because he had a bigger platform.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
They were like, hey, what are the odds like you
can talk about this and we'll end up finding out
who it is. So his name's Andrew, This tall, gangly stranger,
his name's Andrew. And this is the explanation as to
why he crashed somebody's wedding.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
Andrew was invited as a plus one to the partner's
friend Michaela's wedding. So Andrew was running a wee bit late.
So when he pulled up to the venue, the rang
venue of my dad, and he's seen the piper gone in,
and then he's seen the hundsy well dressed people gone in,
so he just assumed I'm in the right place. No,
you'll know, Andrew had never met the groom before and
the only people that he did know were part of
the wedding, so it would have made sense that he
(14:31):
walked in and did they recognize anybody? But then the
music starts, everybody storms up, turns around to look at
the bride, and Andrew realizes he's getting the idea who
any of these people are?
Speaker 3 (14:42):
No, I didn't date drive into this, So what happens
is exactly that he turns up and he's l like,
so he only knew them through his partner, and his
partner was in the bridal party. It's why she wasn't
with him right, so he knew that he was going
to go sit on his own while she walked.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Down the aisle. Then there would be together again.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
So he's gone down quite close down the front, and
then it's only when the bridal party starts walking in
that he's like, where is my part?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
But he doesn't need to be in the photos. I'm sorry,
that's an active choice. Then he said, I don't believe
that part. He did not need to stay and get
into the back of the photos in the group family shop.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
So he said he talks about that so you can
even see the photos.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
He's like avoiding eye contact and looking down when he realizes,
and he says, he says, I realized early on in
this when the ceremony started. But he's like, it's too
rude to then get up in the middle of a ceremony.
So he committed to the ceremony. Then he tried to
sneak out after, but the photographer ushered him in for
the group photos.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
No, no, you speak up.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
You cannot be that conflict, avoid it in your life
that you can't say sorry, I just got to go
to the toilet. There is a way out of this situation.
He made it worse actively.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
But you know what, at my wedding, Like I got
married two three months ago now, But at my wedding,
because Ben and I my husband and I are long distance,
and there's so many people in each other's lives.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
We don't know.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
There's people you'd never met before.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
There could have been twenty five strangers there.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Neither of us would have known because we would have
just assumed that they were on the other people's side.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
At least now that I mean, I know this photo
was taken a while ago, but now that we have
like you know, AI and everything else, that are very
easy to remove him, Like you could remove him from
every single one of these. Unfortunately he's blocking an actual
family member in that one, but the rest of them
you could just take him out.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
It also means he misses the actual when he Anyway,
let's get out of here.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
We are done for the day.
