Speaker 1 (00:49):
Everyone, we're having a discussion around like how early is
too early to start celebrating. It's it's birthday on Thursday.
I think it's a birthday month thing. I think you
should have been celebrating at weeks ago.

Speaker 4 (00:59):
To be fair, you making it seem more extremists in
two days.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, so on Thursday, No, I know.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
But you're like, oh, how long can we celebrate? I'm like, no,
forty eight hours is pretty good.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Yeah, I'm saying we should have done it longer. I'm
the one who's been pushing for it.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
It's been the cakes and the celebration.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
To be Suare you just wait and see what I've
got organized to the rest of this.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Show ioth set you up for.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Also, ju Lipa, have you seen it is her birthday

Speaker 4 (01:27):
See she's been bless her soul. Dua has been celebrating
for the last couple of weeks.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
She's on holiday.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
She's already three birthday cakes deep and it's still another
week away.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
So I feel like that's what she's three birthday cakes deep.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
Well, she's actually actually do you know what? She's born
the day after me.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
She's born on the twenty second, so she's born on Friday.
If anyone cared, I Thursday. Oh we care about that though.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
I am thirty two this year, so that's pretty crazy.
So I can't wait to see what the thirty second
year in my life looks like.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
I'm really excited for you to relive that year again too, Ruth.
I was a really good vintage for you. Were you
at the Bachelor when you were thirty two or you thirty.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
One thirty was one of two. There were thirty women,
and I'll never forget them.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Been like, oh my god, you're the oldest here, and
I was like thanks, me and one other woman, Dasha.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
How many years ago was that? Seven? I think do
the maths everyone.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
Okay, guys, you could buy I don't lie about my age.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
You can gooble it.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
I know that you don't want to talk about this, Laura,
but I am so excited to talk about machine gun Kelly. Actually,
I think he just goes by a machine. Now, I
think we just call a machine. He dropped the rest
of it.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Anyway.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
He has come out and said that he thinks it's
a possibility that his dad is an alien. Now I
know how that sounds straight off the bat bick Craig Cray.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Oh yeah, just a little little bit of dash of
a craig.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
But he's talking about there are some things that happened
to him that he just can't explain.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
How A listen, I.

Speaker 5 (02:49):
Don't know many facts about my life, so I don't know.
I'm starting to just be like like my skin like
it that rips open, it heals really quick. It was
just things where I'm starting to be like who's my dad?
You know, do you think that you could be like
other world that I've asked my mom, I said, any
period of time you went like missing? And what does

(03:09):
she say for like a tall slender you know, creature
that right? She told me she felt like she got
abducted at one point.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
No, this sounds like are too drunk dudes at a party?
It's two am and they've been there for too long.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
It's Andy Cohen.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
No, I don't know who it is. I don't care.
I know who Andy Cohen is.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
But even the like, wow, do you think you could
be otherworriedly like?

Speaker 2 (03:30):
It's just no, No, I.

Speaker 4 (03:31):
Think that makes a good interview, to be honest. He's
leaning into where the conversation is going and he's probing
for information.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
But I think, who are we to say I think
he's joking. No, he's not joking. He's he's spoken about
it before.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
He's actually got like an album song video for one
of his songs that's about aliens. I think, because if
you look at him, people have likened him in the
past to look in alien ish. And when I say that,
it's because like, you know, how aliens have the very
you know, our ail.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Who knows what an alien looks like.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
I can guarantee you everyone's picturing an alien right now.
And it's the head that's like the inverted triangle. That's
what the shape of the head. And they're tall and skinny.
Every alien show you've ever seen looks like you.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
That doesn't mean that that's because actually what aliens look like.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
It's just because it's being made up.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
But who are we to say they don't exist? I
know you're a bit.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
Of a skeptic, but like, surely it is ignorant of
us to say that we are the only species in
this universe, knowing how many other planets there are.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
All I've taken from this entire show today is that
Britt just really wants to talk alien stories, and I
think it's.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Just way too worried.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
But when you know how many planets there are, why
do you think you're the only one.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
I don't think I'm the only one, But I also
just don't believe in No, I don't. Well, I'm sure
there could be something, but do I think that they're
arriving here in ships and flying around?

Speaker 2 (04:48):
And I know I don't.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
I just so you think there is something in another life.
I need to say it.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
I don't care enough to have an opinion.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Well, it's your job to have an opinion. I'm asking you.
Do you think that there is life on another planet?

Speaker 6 (05:01):
No?

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yes, but not in the form of alien know, because
I don't think if I'm going to be honest, I mean,
I think it's a silly conversation, but I don't think
it's in the form that we make it out in
like et and movies. I think that there's probably some
microorganism that would indicate that there's life on a planet,
but I don't think it's in the way in which
sci fi films lead us to believe.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
That's boring. Okay, well, anyway, let's go to Wendy.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
Wendy tell me that you have some sort of alien
UFO encounter.

Speaker 6 (05:28):
Yes, I do, but I just wanted to put it
out there that I did not get probed.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Thank goodness for you.

Speaker 6 (05:37):
I didn't get pros and I didn't see any little
green men. So I grew up in country Victoria, little
farming town. There's a couple of power stations around the area.
Not abnormal for stories to come out around the power station.
So anyway, when my brother and I were little. We
went out onto the porch, looking out into the paddock
and above the tree line, probably a couple of paddicks away,

(05:58):
we could see a silver disk and we just couldn't
believe what we were seeing, you know, looking at each
other in absolute disbelief, but more more than anything, terror.
So we went inside and got mum. She came outside
to have a look, and by that time it was gone.
But in saying that, she had stories, you know, from
when she was a little too, going up in the area.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Wait, was it nighttime or daytime when you saw the
disc first?

Speaker 6 (06:20):
So it was dusk, so it was just on duck.
And yeah, generally that's the time that they come out.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
I just always think, hang on, hang on, it's generally
the time they come out.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Wendy, when did you become the alien expert?

Speaker 6 (06:31):
You have to be careful what you say sometimes too,
because people think you're crazy or you've got a chin
fall or whatever.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
I don't say. You have to be careful what you're
saying in case the alien is here.

Speaker 6 (06:42):
I promise you I'm not seeing it home with my
tin call hat on. But oh, I really am, I
really am a believer.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Oh, Wendy, thanks for the call. Now, I don't know
why I'm admitting to this.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
I could just not tell you and then you would
start and then you would think more of me, but
prepared to me.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
I think there is actually something wrong with me, and
I think there's maybe something wrong with my brain, as in,
I'm very forgetful, I'm a little bit chaotic, but I
tend to lose things pretty easily. Would you agree, brit
might be lulding. I think this is like a trick question.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
Like how many times have I, to be honest, how many.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Times have I lost the swipe card for this studio?

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Let me be honest. You've got ADHD, you undiagnosed ADHD.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
We all know it. You know it.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
We don't love you any less.

Speaker 4 (07:28):
Like with my dream day would be when you come
to can you be like, Hey, I've decided.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
To get and take my pication. Do you know why?
I'll never do it.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
I never am going to go through the process of
ADHD dynas. I just don't want you to be right.
I don't want I don't want to lose that battle.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
I'll pretend I'm wrong, but it's for you, no one else.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
What have you left on your room?

Speaker 1 (07:48):
So I have this really bad habit of putting things
on the roof of my car and then just driving away,
you know, like.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Everything, small dogs, children, everything.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Wallet's like, I don't know why, I don't know how
I managed to do it. I don't even know what
I'm doing. I put my phone on there getting the
car driveway.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
Because you always have a lot of things in your hands.
The first place to do it to open a car
door is to put something. So it's like it happens.
It just happens to you an astronomical amount.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
So the other day I was driving to work, so
like I you know, I didn't even have the kids
or anything.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
I just put my handbags in the car and stuff.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
I got in the car, turned the car on, and
I'm driving to work.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
When you leave, like where we live.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Brit and then you're gonna go to the other side
of the city, there's this one little area where it
goes from I think it's like fifty kilometers to eighty kilometers,
but it's a really short strip of road, right, So
I speed up and I go down this eighty kilometer
bit of road.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
I hit is. I was like, what was that? Even
the dog was like, what the hell is that mole?
He's like, Nam, that's a kid on the road.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
No, we shouldn't anyway, I in trouble.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
I can't do.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
I pull into my garage and I was like, where
are my car keys?

Speaker 2 (08:56):
So this is meant to.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Be a feature of the key, right, Like your car's
not meant to turn on if your keys are not
in the car. So I then spent a good twenty
minutes looking could not find my keys.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Can't find them.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
Anywhere you're in the highway.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
I'm not joking. My entire car keys, my house keys,
my office keys. I have this, like Janitor, what of keys?
I put them on top of the roof of the
car and I drove to work.

Speaker 4 (09:18):
So then, how do you knowing now that you can't
restart your car because your keys are one hundred calms away?
How do you did you go back and just drive
that rope?

Speaker 2 (09:24):
I couldn't. I didn't have any keys.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
But then, so what did you do? How are you
driving your car?

Speaker 1 (09:30):
Was very disappointed in my husband when I called him
and asked if he could come get me and bring
me my spare set of key. So the problem is
I had to admit at this time because normally I
can get away with like driving away with a coffee
cup on the roof or a wallet, or I just
don't have to tell people because that the only person
that affects is me. But when you don't have your
car keys to the car that you've just driven to
an entirely different suburb, and.

Speaker 4 (09:49):
Also you'd be the sort of person that has your
full name and address on your keys too, So every key.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
That you've got to everything in your life.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Had a real bone to pick with the car company
because I was like, normally it says your keys are
not in the car, or it gives you some sort
of like warning, but none of them.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
I guess on the car is close enough.

Speaker 4 (10:05):
It probably has a radius, so it must have just
like scooted it in the radio because it's.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Like that's that's pretty closed to being on the car.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
But you would have thought that when it fell off
the roof and flew down the freeway that the car
would have gone like, thing, something's wrong with the keys
on in here? You threw them out the window, But
it didn't. Anyway, I had to call my helt.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
You blaming the car. I feel like you're putting in
a lot of blame on me.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
I was safe.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
If it makes you feel better, I don't do this recurrently.
I have done it once that I can remember. I
don't know how, because I was so hungry, but I
left my lunch and a smoothie, like I left my hole.
I went to a cafe, got everything and left it
on the car and I started to drive away and
there was a car beeping me, and it was like
coming up beside me, and I intentionally.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Was ignoring it.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
You know how you pull out in front of someone
or something and they're beeping you. So I thought the
person next to me was road raging me. So I
just didn't make eye contact, was looking straight ahead. And
it was only when they like literally wound down and
got in my face that I was like what, and
they were like, your food is with chickens.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
I'm alone in this. I think a lot of people
have done it.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
Yeah once, I'll do it a lot phones keys.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Wallet yet to put a living thing on the roof
of the car. But I, thank God, definitely a culprit.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
I'm a big believer in the universe, and I think
on the weekend, the universe handed me exactly what I
need in.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
This moment, which is a dog walker.

Speaker 4 (11:26):
So I have my beautiful Australian shepherd, Delilah, who I'm
obsessed with, but I work long days, so she has
to have dog walkers.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
Now, her dog walkers are about to get married. They're
going overseas.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
You have a dog walker that's a couple that again
they're a.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
Couple, but they are taking some time off to go
get married, and so I have it on the hunt
for one now. On about yeah, two days ago, I
was walking up my street with Delilah, had my headphones
on and this guy runs across the road like to
stop me, and I take my headphones off.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
He gees sorry. He's like, are you Emily And I
said no, I'm not. He's like, oh damn it.

Speaker 4 (12:04):
He's like, I'm new to the area and he's like,
I'm ran into a girl that looks just like you,
that has the same kind of dog, And he said,
I've been kicking myself ever since because I wish I
asked her if she needs a dog walker. He's like,
I've been trying to hope that i'd run into her
to ask her again, and I said, oh, sorry, not
me and he's.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
Like, do you need a talk walker. My first intention.

Speaker 4 (12:22):
Would usually be to say no, right, I'm like, okay, widow,
but I thought, you know what.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
Maybe the universe is handing me this what I need.
And I said, what, what's your story? And he's like,
I've just moved to the area.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
I haven't been here long and I have always grown
up with working dogs.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
He's like, I just missed them. I can't have a
dog on my own. I would just need a dog
that I can get my.

Speaker 4 (12:40):
Dog here walk it occasionally. And he's like, I live nearby.
So I just thought i'd offer my surface.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
No, this is not the full story, and this is
not it might be the full story story, but okay.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
I haven't finished it.

Speaker 4 (12:53):
So then I said, do you know what I actually
maybe I do. I said, but I don't hand my.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
Dog over to just anyone.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
Give me your Instagram and.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
I will sush you out to make sure you're not
going to be a crazy person that steals my dog.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
So I was like, why do you work from home?

Speaker 2 (13:06):
What do you do?

Speaker 4 (13:07):
And he said I'm an artists, Like I just do
my own stuff, and I went on his Instagram, he
is verified, has a lot of followers.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
He is an artist. Now, I know what you're going
to say, Laura.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
Okay, the real question that we're here to ask today
is is this guy actually hitting on brit Or?

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Does he want to be a dog walker?

Speaker 1 (13:24):
And I know you've set it up so nice to
make it sound No, No, you make dog you're hot.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
He's hot. He wants to walk more than your dog, Britt.
That's all it me.

Speaker 4 (13:35):
So I get home and I have a DM from
him and it says, consider this my official application, and
he had he's an artist. He'd drawn a really cute
little art picture of himself walking Delilah, and then a
little picture like he'd seen a picture on my Instagram
and drawn it like daughter was really cute. I'm like,
do you know what this is showing me that you

(13:56):
care about Delilah. Now I want to say I did
tell my husband Ben this. I said, how I think
I might have found a dog walker. And I told
him the story and the first thing he said, he's like,
baby doesn't want dog.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
He doesn't want to walk your dog, Britt.

Speaker 4 (14:10):
I think we need to start to give people the
benefit of the doubt. I told him I was married.
I like, I have a big, fat, giant ring on
my finger.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
It means nothing.

Speaker 4 (14:20):
He's on my Instagram a photo from a week ago.
I had two weddings, like two weeks ago.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
It doesn't matter. He knows now he's looked you up.
He's like, oh that that guy lives overseas.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
It could be an inn she likes foreign men.

Speaker 4 (14:31):
No, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt. Okay,
I'm gonna let him walk my dog.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
It kind of brings in the question of like, what
is creepy? Says Slash, What is cringe? Or how do
you know if someone is like flirting with you right, like,
where is the kind of line? I think, yes, he
probably does want to walk your dog. But I also
think the drawing a photo of the two like.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
He drew you in the pitch too, No two separate pictures,
one of sorry, he drew two pictures.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
He drew one of him and the dog and one
of you and the dog.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
It doesn't matter, it does He's just I thought it
was cute. I now have a painting from a famous
hourist of Juliah myself.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
I think that if someone's going to go home after
a random encounter the street where they've said that they're
into dog walking and if you ever need a dog walker,
that's casual, that's fine. He threw it out there going home,
making a drawing, sending you two separate drawings and then
dming you means that he's taking it a step too far.
It doesn't want to be your friend, Britt Grace. We

(15:25):
need to see a photo of this. I have a
doggy dog in my life. I don't need to get.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
His photo up.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
He doesn't have photos as an artist.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Nat, you already showed it to me before. Come on,
get it up. Shut up, he's walking my dog.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
Okay, here's two photos.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Mate.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
If you think that this guy is not hitting on you,
oh he's cute.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
He's literally there's a normal guy that wants to.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Walk a dog.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
I like a dog in the photo to be fair, so.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
The yes, he's a dog love backs up.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
If you don't ask, you don't get.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
And if you want to be a dog walker, he's
kicking himself because he lost Emily. I think it's fine,
and I just think if you want to shoot your shot.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
Then go for it.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
I think that this is a man who saw a
hot chick from across the street, and he ran across
the street to offer his services.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
I'm sure he's doing well enough in the Vola bar.

Speaker 4 (16:10):
Skeptic Laura doesn't believe in aliens, doesn't believe in people
that want to walk away.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
I just I'm on your husband's side. I think this
guy's hitting on your Sorry, I'm gonna dog to walk
all right.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah, you certainly do, because I don't think he should
be doing it anyway.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
Guys will be back tomorrow. That is it from us.
