Speaker 1 (00:55):
But before we get into that, yeah, call me Donald Trump.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Did you have a good Father's Day?

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Father's Day was so nice except my husband Matt. He
he wanted us skateboard and I think I bought it.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Was like a weird thing to want im keeping twelve. Yeah,
if you're a teenager, I.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Got him a skateboard.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
And also I don't know anything about skateboarding.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
So I walked into the shop.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
And I was like, I've got a forty year old
husband who wants a skateboard.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Actually I'm aging him up. He's thirty eight. Uh we
round it.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
I was like, do you think that this is the
hallmark of midlife crisis? And about two.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Months ago it was spearfishing, So yeah, I would say
he's in the throes of crisis for sure. I got
my dad perfume from Chemis's warehouse. I feel like it's
a place to go. But I got in the David
Beckham perfume went to make him run faster.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Well, I got.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Sucked in because David Beckham's David Beckham right. Like, the
packaging was great, and I was like, this is probably
gonna be great because David Beckham's good at everything. Then
I was like, I might get my husband won as
well because there's such a good price. Then I thought, okay,
hang on, my husband's a football player. Is that like
a faux pas to get him another football perfume?

Speaker 2 (01:57):
I don't know, Or maybe it's just like, I know
you're successful, but not as successful as a day who
has a perfume line who.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Can retire and you can't retire.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
But yeah, all right, Well, look, speaking at the two paper.
You have come to work today. Are you making a
sound wearing a clip in fringe?

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Yeah? There is a reason catfishing everyone.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
I am going to give you guys an update next
on the toupee, on the clip on fringe, and on
my skin cancer treatment that I'm doing at the moment.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
It's yeah, I'm glad you're calling what it is now.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Well, no, it's not a too pey, but I'm just
being funny. It's a clip in fringe.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
It's a clipping fringe. I walked in this morning and
I was like, oh, we're back here. We're trialing that again. Well,
can I shut up? Can I just say?

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Two people complimented my new haircut today. They didn't even
know it was fake. One the woman that works.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
At the cafe.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
She serves me my coffee every day, and she said
rate new hair and I was upfront with her, said
it's not mine.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
I said it's fake. It's a Russian lady, Russia.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
And she was like wow, I never would have know.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
She might have been lying. I never would have known.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
And then Vlad, who is on security, he also called.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
He also recognized the Russian fringe, was like I like that.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah, no, no, So I do have a clip on fringing,
but there is a reason I bought it a little
while ago, just because I wanted a fringe. But now
it has come to be a bit of a saving grace.
So I am on day.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Five of skin.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Cancer treatment, so to catch up to speed. Maybe you
heard me speaking about it last week, or maybe you
follow me on social media because I am I'm sharing
a lot on socials. But I don't have skin cancer,
and I want that to be known. It's like a
pre treatment, right, well, it's called pre skin cancer, so
it's not just a treatment that anyone can get. You
go to a skin clinic. I went to a specialist,

(03:41):
and a lot of people ask me about this. Where
did I go a dematologist or a GP or a
mole map or whatever. I went to a skin cancer
specialist for my checkup, and on the checkup she noticed
a few things on my face that are called solar keratosis.
They do have a few names, but it just means
that it's nothing now, but if it's left untreated, it

(04:04):
is highly likely that it will turn into skin cancer.
So you do have to have these specific spots to
get these treatments. You can't just go and like say, hey,
I want to burn my face off for precaution, because
I could.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
But that's a different clinic. You just go.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
There, so knowing that I had these dangerous spots, you
go and get the treatment and for the next week
to two weeks, depending on how bad your skin is.
If your skin basically some people goes like your whole
face will scab up and go red and blister.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
When you spoke about last week on the show, I
was expecting this week for you to come in and
to look like I don't even.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
Have a reference. Yeah, it just looked like you've really
been through the wars.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Well, the reason it's not laws is because I did
this same treatment two years ago, right, so the doctor said,
And if you remember when I did it two years ago,
it was bad. My face was like open wound, like
scabs and stuff. So because I've done it before, it
means every time you do it, the nasties are less
and less scabby. But I had to like treat my
forehead three times more than the rest of my face

(05:04):
because there was more damage there, and now my forehead
is like a scaly alligator. So I was like, bingo,
I'm gonna wear my clip in fringe.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
I'm sorry to give you such heat about your cliping
fringe when it's really.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Just because any purposes right now.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
But you know what I did on the weekend, which
you have to laugh, But you're not allowed to go
into the sun. Basically, it's like a topical chemotherapy that
goes on your face that's activated by a light at
this special clinic, and then your face will burn, but
it makes you hyper sensitive to the sun, so you
cannot like have s on you. But I have an
Australian shepherd dog that I still need to walk, so
I like put on these big sunglasses, lathered my face

(05:37):
in sun cream, got a really big bucket hat to
cover myself, like it went really deep, so it covered
to my nose, and I drove to the park like.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
I didn't walk. Did you walk around with an umbrella
as well? No, but I shave. You should have.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
But I was trying to go early in the morning
and late at night and stay out of the sun. Anyway,
because my bucket hat was so big and my sun
glasses were so big, and I had so much cover
in me, I literally chao myself. I walked straight into
this tree branch, like this really low hanging tree branch,
to the point that like I got neck pain. I
hit it so hard my dog went off my feet
onto my back and just laid there on the ground,

(06:12):
and I was like, this is a real low point
for me, and just because I can't see out of
my hat, so it's like it's been a real moment
for me, and so for you to come and attack
me for my two page days.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
So I'm just sorry.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
But honestly, like I said earlier, you can barely tell.
I really thought it was gonna be so much worse.
And it's also kind of a nice testament because I
think that these things can feel really scary and sound
really scary, and then seeing you come in.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
And you look I like, I literally didn't know. I
was just like, why you're wearing your fringe again?

Speaker 1 (06:41):
I am covered with covered. I did put makeup on today,
there are still some wounds under my makeup and stuff.
But I do just want to say I know there
are people in the car listening right now that have
been putting off your skin check because it's one of
those annoying things if nothing's wrong and nothing's jumping out
at you, it's like I don't have time to go
to a doctor, and yeah, I get it.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
But also, this is something you've You've spoken about this
a few times in the show, and I think it's
a really great reminder for everyone. We live in Australia.
We all know.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
I mean, we've all seen the slipslop slap ads and
producer Grace getting some stats together for us. But one
thing that you wrote down here is that skin cancer
causes more deaths in Australia than transport accidents every single year,
and that is insane when you think about those statistics,
that's really frightening.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Last thing I want to say is the spots on
my face that were nasty didn't even look like anything.
If you looked at my skin, you would have thought
it was fine. Like they're just a little tiny, tiny
discoloration or freckles. So it's like, if you are thinking, oh,
there's nothing to be worried about, I'm not getting a check.
If you haven't had your check in a while, it
could literally save your life and you two could get
a clipping fringe.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
It's a bonus, wo brit How do you navigate it
when you're in a relationship but you're both at very
different relationship milestones. What I mean by this is like
one of you is ready to get engaged. You both
know you're relationship, you both you committed, you're exclusive. One
of you wants to get engaged, and the other one
is not thinking about marriage for a very long time.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
Oh that's the worst.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
And also it's a tricky one because like, do you wait,
do you just hope that they changed their minds?

Speaker 3 (08:08):
Conversation you need to have with your husband.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Mad No, I baby trapped that man and then he
married me, So look all worked out well for me. No.
The question is there's an advice column that I was
reading and put yourself in this situation. Okay, so you
you go into your partner's phone because you wanted to
look up something on Safari or whatever, and then you
actually close the page and so you've got to go
into the search history to find what it was that

(08:32):
you were just looking at. It sounds like an excover
ep ex use for someone who was just going through
their partners because no, one, I'm not saying he's going
through the messages. He was just going back through the
search history because he needed to find something. Okay, let's
not poo poo the partner. So he looks in the
search history and there it is engagement ring after engagement ring,
after engagement ring, and the girlfriend is looking at different

(08:54):
engagement rings that she wants for herself. He also then
realizes that she has some engagement rings that she's been
saving to her camera role that would indicate that maybe
she's at a point where she's ready to get engaged.
She wants to start dropping hints, and he absolute one
isn't even sure that she's the person who wants to
get engaged too. What do you think you should do

(09:14):
in this situation?

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Nothing? Okay, you think you plead ignorance? Yes? Nothing, nothing,
there's nothing to be done. You know what? How long?
How long can you please.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Ignorance for eternity? No, Firstly, if you know that that's
not your person, then yes she should tell her, like
if you know you never want to get engaged she's
not actually it, then yes, that's a different conversation. But
that's not because you found rings. That's because you owe
somebody the truth. But I just think like a lot
of women have saved their engagement rings, they've written down

(09:44):
baby names that they like they've got lists for years
before they've even met somebody. Like a lot of people
dream that they have Pinterest boards of their wak.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
So what you're saying is that this isn't flattery for you.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
Path.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
Yeah, I just think this.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Is probably going on a long time before you.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
But a lot of women, a lot of women think.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
About that moment of their life like it's a really
exciting thing and they can't wait till the time. And
you always imagine, like, I am thirty eight, don't have kids.
I don't know if that's going to happen for me,
but I have written down kids' names for like the
last ten years.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
Do you know what made my life really easy?

Speaker 2 (10:15):
So when your husband, now Ben, when he was going
to propose at that time, the very first time he
ever spoke to me about it, you were away doing
I'm a celebrity, Get me out of here, and I
was logged in to your Instagram on my phone, so
I had like access to all of your Instagram.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Which I I don't know, I don't know what you saw.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Which also means I had access to all of your
saved posts. So I got this message from Ben this
one day and he was like look, I'm thinking about
proposing to brit I'm thinking about getting a ring made.
And I was like, oh, hold on one second, sir,
and I just went straight into your saved photos and
you had it was like your entire saved photo role.
Like it wasn't funny instagrams, it wasn't pictures of go it.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
Was engaging ring. Engage ring.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
It made it so easy to design what you wanted
because it like you'd save the same ring over and.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
Over and over about seven hundred times.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Ah okay, yes, in my defense, that was because I
knew I wanted to marry him and he we had
spoken about it, so like that was a different time
I did. It's not like I went into that relationship
and had engage bearings.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
But I know I scrolled pretty far back twenty twelve. No,
I think it's normal. I almost busted it for myself.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
So I didn't know that my husband was going to propose.
I know, I joke and say a baby practice. I
didn't intentionally we it was an accident at the start,
and then it was you know, I was very welcome one,
but I was about eight months pregnant and he was
going through his phone next to me, and I saw
that he downloaded a photo volt. You know, it's like
where you hide photos, where you go to cheat.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Yeah, I'll keep photos of your exes.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
So okay. I was very emotionally scarred by my.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Ex boyfriend having a photovolt on his phone that I found,
and it was full of photos of other girls he
was cheating on me with. So when I saw a
photo volt on Matt's phone and I was eight months pregnant,
I was triggered by it.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
So it's like who you are who.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
We were at dinner with his sister and I was like,
show me, show me, and his sister was like, please
don't do this in front of me, and I.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
Was like, what's in the vault? Hey, it seems like
a weird time and place.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
It was weird, I like your favorite restaurant with his
sister as a house.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
I was full of pregnancy hormones.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Anyway, his sister pulled me aside and she was like, Hey,
I don't know how to say this to you without
ruining your own surprise, but Matt's actually doing something really nice,
and he's trying to organize something, and you're going to.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
Ruin it, so you should stop sight away. No, I
still made him you show you show me by then
he deleted what was in there, so.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
No one of his own pictures like selfie. It was
full of the It was the ring design he'd been hiding.
What an idiot who hides it in a vault. It's
actually quite smart, to be fair. I think the problem
here was you. No, I think it's fine.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
On So we're talking, what is.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
The weirdest, most awkward, icky thing you've seen when you've
gone back to like a hookups house, when you're in
the throes of dating, things seem great. You turn up
at the house and there's something that you're like, WTF.
Now this is up the back of this woman in
New York City. He's going viral on light at the moment.
And it was a choice to share this, Like, she
made a choice. She could have kept this a secret.

(13:17):
She's seen the Titanic over five hundred times, so.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
She is that's too many times. It's four hundred.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
I don't know you've seen the Titanic.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
It's four hundred ninety five times too many, that's for sure.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
I was gonna say four ninety nine.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
Yeah, look like I feel like it's once I think. No, Look,
let's give her some grace. You can.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
You watched it once years ago, you maybe watched it
again recently.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
And that's cute.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
Well five hundred times obsessed. She's so obsessed that she
has decided to turn her apartment into a replica of
the Titanic, so she lives with just her dog.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
Of course she does. That's why she lives with the
dog's human.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
But I need to have a look, Laura, on the
next page. I've got some photos there. The entire apartment
is a replica of the Titanic. You walk in and
it's like you're underwater. She has done like Blue Cellar fame.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
Sorry, couldn't she have done the Titanic pre drowning? Like
why did she choose post shipwreck? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
It's like half sunk. The water is flooding in. It's
a bad time.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
She's got she's got bits of boat like boat debris
justin into the wall and everything is painted blue.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
If I was going to go for a Titanic error,
I'd go above water. I don't go for the sex scene. Yeah, okay,
that's a bit much. But Leonardo DiCaprio was a twenty
five year olds in there.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
Stick with me, Stick with me. It's going viral because
she started to film like some of the responses from
her hinge dates when she brings them home because she's single.
So like, imagine you're on a date because this woman
is smoke show she's super hot. Imagine being on a
date with someone that you're vibing. They seem great, they're
super hot. You get back to their apartment and from
the ceiling to the ground in every room, including the floor,

(14:47):
like you even have to walk on the water cellophane
is the Titanic.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
I would you still do it or would you leave? No,
you'd leave.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
You'd be like, oh, this person is absolutely that crazy.

Speaker 3 (14:57):
I need to get out of here.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
No.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
I think you'd stay just for one night and then
you leave.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Yeah, you're not having a committed relationship. This reminds me
of many moons ago when I'd broken up with the
next boyfriend.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
I'd moved into like the smaller room in the house.
The house.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
It was like a one bedroom house, but it also
had like kind of an oversized study would call it that, right,
It only fit a king single in it didn't fit
a double bed. I'd taken that room and I'd rented
out the bigger room to a couple because I.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
Just I was in my twenties. I could not afford
it in money. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
And so anyway, I'd gone on this date and it
had gone really well, and I was like, come back
to mine, kind of forgetting forgetting that I had a
king single bed at the time, it seemed like.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
A good option.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
But not only did I forget that I had a
king single bed, I forgot that as a joke, my
nana had bought me a bedspread, which I'd put on
the bed because my other linen was Yeah, my linen
was in the washing machine and it was a Harry
Potter bedspread.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
And I was twenty five.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah, and I was like, I hate myself right now,
and you can stay all leave.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
And did you see me say you're looking to.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Add a watch to your collection?

Speaker 3 (15:58):
Was that you pick up line? Because that's what I
would have gone. I would have doubled down. I just
made a joke. No, I remember going to your magic Wander.
You just happen to see me exactly. It's too much,
not it's they would have loved it. I hate myself.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
No, I remember going back to a guy's house that
he was great, but he just had like a stuffed
toy collection and I just just doesn't equate to like sexiness.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
Okay, question was it on the bed or was it
just in the room everywhere?

Speaker 3 (16:27):
Oh? Wow, yeah there was someone.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
Yeah that was a color.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
How old was he?

Speaker 1 (16:31):
Ah? Probably like twenty six at the time. I'm trying
to think how long ago it was.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
Was it themed it all or just a variety of
stuff toys? It was pre themed? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (16:39):
It was an animal theme. I mean sorry, it was
animal Australian animal theme too, but definitely an animal theme.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
I look, I mean these people are doing it to
themselves obviously, like she's decorated her house in Titanic theme
that but we still dated. It wasn't that much, Okay,
it didn't turn you off completely.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
I had to hide them, I was I was gonna
push them to the side.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
Did you just put them under the bed every time
you come over, like Koala goes under the bed? Alright, Like, guys,
that is it from us today.
