Hockley and Laura Ben Lady.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
What our windows done? That's my world? Reason the dust
only good fabs all I've done much, But yeah I'm not.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
I'll big get and what I want it don't mattle
where This is the pick up.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
It's them Friday Feels everyone Friday Afternoon. What you laughing
at me for producing you because you don't know what
I'm about to say. I don't know anything. I literally
the show started and I was like, what are we
talking about?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Guys?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
And everyone's just been giggling anyway, it's the pick up
with pret Hockey and Laura Burn. I'm curious we're giggling
because we knew what we're going to talk about.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
But you were reading and fighting people on Instagram. On
my behalf, I.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Was literally deep.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
I was writing back to a woman whose name was Karen,
telling her that her comment was me I got to
do it.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I'm in an Instagram war right now.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
She didn't like my wedding dress.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
She felt the need to let me know, and she's
doubling down and her name is Karen, which is the
best much.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
I would like to say this though, on behalf of
all the Karens who are listening. It's such an unfortunate
name that's been hijacked because there's so many nice Karens.
But when an actual person named Karen is mean, mate,
you're doing it to yourself.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
And you're also hurting all the other Karens.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
You're hurting all the Karens. Think of the Karens.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Anyway, That's not what we're going to talk about.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
It is not just Friday Feels Laura, but something big
is happening this weekend.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
It's time. You might have forgotten.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Da da da da da dada. Oh we've got a budget.
We can't play the music here live.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
But Dancing with the Stars let me hardily.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Not only was it her wedding, she's now on Dancing
with the Stars from one big momentous occasion to the next.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Yep, I can't believe it is time to shine.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
It did come in handy though, all my dance training
for my wedding dance.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
That's what I will say.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
It's a shame Ben didn't do any though.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Did I don't know. Ben thinks he did. I can't
wait to share my wedding dance. Ben thinks he did
so well and he did. No, he absolutely did. But
I do lot of the twirling. He just had to
remember which hand to twirl me with him and out.
He thinks me up a lot, but he six foot
five doesn't count.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
It's on at seven pm on Sunday, and it's on
channel seven or seven plus.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
If you're really into your digital channels.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
You are not gonna want to miss it.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Like there's there's sprinkles and sparklers and haming and lifts
and twelves and do.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
You know how I'm excited to see on that me hopefully? Oh?
Oh I am, I am, I'm excited to see him.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
It was funny because seven years ago Osher was a
part of dumping me on national television on the Bachelor.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Now we're like sag around each next to each other.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yeah, what I'm about to tell you all is going
to make you feel gross. Your skin is going to crawl,
You are going to maybe want to burn your house down.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Don't do that. There is a doctor that has come out.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
And revealed the everyday household items that are dirtier than
your toilet seat. And now This article is being red
and shared so many times, but I'm pretty sure it's
because of how hot the doctor is, which has nothing
to do with it. But I'm going to get a
bit scizzy here for a minute. He talks about these
things in units c f USE, which is colony forming units. Now,
(03:12):
that is how they see how dirty something is. It's
bacteria per square inch. Before we get into a list, though,
and rattle that off.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
The only thing that I have been told that's more
dirty than a toilet is money. That's like, have you
heard that old wives tail? That's money that ever bribes?
Tale that every single dollar coin or like coins or
notes or whatever have actual poop particles on them.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Well, I've also heard, if I've got a few other ones,
the door handle of the toilet.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Is the worst than the truth.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
You don't wash your hands.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
What touches the toilet seat?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Guy?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Maybe okay, don't answer that. My brain was going on.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Depends on if a man is sat down to do
a pooh, because then it's more things to touch on
the toilet seat.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Usually.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
I've also heard a rumor that toilet, yes.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
You've got to tuck it in my okay, my husband.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Into this show, he'll be thrilled.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Okay, let's get back on track. So to give you context,
because we want to base it off this. A toilet
seat has fifty CFUs.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Okay, twenty forming units.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
That's the bacteria. So we're going with fifty bits of bacteria. Now,
listen to this.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
A TV remote you sit down at night, one hand
in the popcorn, then you touch the TV remote that
has five thousand CFUs. So that's one hundred times dirtier
than your toilet seat.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
And it's discussing.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Okay, you think that's bad.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
No strap in cutting board can have up to ten
thousand CFUs. That makes it two hundred times dirty.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I can believe this one though, And I also wonder,
is like plastic chopping boards or wooden chopping boards worse,
because wouldn't it can't be good.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Wooden harbor is more bacteria.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Of course, it's soaksen and then just sits in there
and then every so often you give it a bit
of a wash and there's your chicken for three days.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
This one, I.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Feel like, we know, but this is discussing. It makes
me want to go get some bacterial wipes and wipe
it down.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Now.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
But your mobile phone twenty five thousand CFU poos. Surely tweetos,
surely though your mobile phone is only dirtier if you're
someone who doesn't wash your hands, because if you're the
only person handling your phone, it's because it's everywhere other
people put their hand on a surface, the phone goes
on the surface, then it goes onto your hand.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
It's like it transfers off every But.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Then your hands would have more dirt on them than
a toilet seat because you're touching it's your hands they do.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I don't have the Pooh stats on that one, but
then your hands, God forbid.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Let's stick around. That's going to be our next week's show.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
But do you want to know what the two highest
ones were?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
A pillowcase if you're not washing your pillowcase weekly, which
I reckon most people listening, I don't think people are
doing it weekly, maybe bi weekly, like bi weekly is
twice I mean, fortunately, yeah, thank you for that.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Bi weekly, you're killing it. Bi weekly, you're good. But
a pillow case, if left.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Unwashed for one week, three million poos.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
And then if we move on to the killer, the
number one.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
So you need to go home and throw these out
single use your kitchen sponge. What you think you were
wiping bacteria with to clean it is actually spreading it
ten million see a few poos?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Do you know what?
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Though?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I listen to this and yeah, look horror terrorizing. I'm
so scattered of for germs. I'm not a very.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Germy person, as in, like, I don't care about germs
as much as are you.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Sick every week? But I'm not sick. That's my point.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
My point is is that I think you need germs
to be able to have some sort of immunity. I
have been ten thousand poop particles. No, but I think
we worry a bit too much about germs. Like I'm
the mom that when I drop back in the day,
my kids are not with dummies anymore, but dummy drops
on the ground, Pick up the dummy, wipe it on.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Your shirt, shove it back in the kid. She's fine.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
I look, I eat off the floor all the time.
It's fine.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
I'm not a germy person. I worked in a hospital
for thirteen years. I have picked up everything, and I
have a really great immunity. But there's something about knowing
that you're spreading ten thousand poopsy if you use across
your bench when you're wiping it.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
That's just not cool.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I think there's some things we need to learn from it.
I think, no, throw it out. I agree. And just
because it's soap doesn't mean it's clean.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I will never.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Forget just because it's cold, I mean, raining doesn't mean
it's cold.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
No, I will never forget being in a public toilet Once.
I was like maybe thirteen years old. It's a memory
that's stuck with me forever. And I went to wash
my hand. There was a bar It was a bar
soap that was sitting in this public toilet. You know
when the bar soap's like old and dried and it's
got like the cracks in it, and it's it's just
got the cracks in it because it's so dry, and
the cracks are kind of like black in between the cracks.
The soap was there. This old lady was in the
(07:29):
in the bathroom. She was washing her hands as well,
and she was just with water. And she turned around
to me as I went to reach it, and she goes, Darling,
just because it's soap doesn't make.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
It clean, It's true.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
And I looked at that soap and I was like
I'm gonna that's a wise wise woman right there.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
And I've kept that lesson my whole life.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Say and I kept that soap, I've still got it.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
On one hand, they say that being a parent is
like the greatest joy gift, the greatest gift.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I mean, I'm not sure. Yeah it is.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Oh, here comes the sandwich that everyone has to say.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I'm not saying a sandwich today. What I'm saying is
that it's also known to be quite a thankless job
at times. You know, like especially when you've got little kids,
they're not good at telling you how grateful they are
for the amazing life that you're building for them. They
often like to tell you that they hate you. And
my kids, I've got a five year old a four
year old Lola, who I seem to talk about a
(08:21):
lot because she really is the personality of the family.
She is going through a phase at the moment where
she likes to tell me that she hates me either,
I hate you, You're the worst mummy ever I'm getting
out of this family. Actually, they're all different versions of
how much she hates being a part of our household.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
That was my favorite.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Let's just quickly play that audio now when she yelled
at you and said I'm getting.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Out of here.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Actually, that's my favorite.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
That was. That was when we told her that she
was having a baby sister, and she was thrilled.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Anyway, So recently we I mean, we went.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
To Ballei obviously because you're a wedding brit but we
took the kids over there and we had a holiday
alongside that as well, and the kids had a truly
amazing time. We booked a hotel that was it's called
the Family Nest. It could not be more for children.
It has like a big play center there. It's got
a kid's club on site. Even within the own like
the second bedrooms of every villa, it's decked out for
(09:21):
children with toys and like blocks and cubby houses.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
What more could you want?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
It had a pull like it had every single thing
that a kid could possibly want. So we'd already done
all those kids' activities around the hotel and then this
one was the day after your wedding, and they'd been
with the babysitter.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
For a few days.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Mind you, Lola had told me that she loved the
Balinese nanny more than me.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
We're in the car and.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
She went, that's a hard pill to swallow.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
So we're in the car. We've gone to the beach.
She collected two little rocks. She handed me one rock.
One rock was evidently nicer than the other. One was
very obviously not an attractive rock. She handed me the
ugly rock and she said, Mummy, this is for you,
but this one is for Yanni. And she's patting the
pretty stone and I was like, Okay, that's cute. And
then she looks at me. This is about five minutes
(10:08):
later in the car, right She looks at me and
she goes, Immie, can I have that? And I was
like yeah, and I handed it back to her and
she goes, I changed my mind. They're both for Yanni.
They're both for Yanni. Window she was like, I know
that one, like she even said, she said you can
have that one because it's ugly. But then she wanted
to give them both.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Anyway. That was one thing, a little bit of a heartbreak.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
I just want to like prop you up here. Yannie's
the fun she she doesn't have to parents. She's the nanny,
so she looks after them, she plays with them, and
you're the disciplinarian and the one that has.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
To like break the news.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I don't know. I still think I'm the fun mom sometimes.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
We're on holiday, but you make them eat the vegetables
and stuff where the kids.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Were eating ice cream for breakfast.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Goddamn, I'll just try to make it feel better. Fine,
she hates you. Whatever, We'll just go back to your story.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
So so we're.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
On the last It was like the second last day
before we left. We went to like a beautiful beach club.
Like the kids could not have had a better day.
They went and played at like an activity center. They
had ice cream after their breakfast. We went to the
beach club. They had a second ice cream. The whole
day was centered around them just having an amazing time. Yeah,
and they seemed relatively grateful whilst we were doing the thing.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
We came home. The only thing.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
That they had to do in that day that was
against their wishes was that we needed to wash their hair,
because it had been a full seven days of zero
hair washing, and Lola looked like she'd rolled out of
a bin.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Okay, I didn't want to say anything when I saw her.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
She's done, she's dunk. She'd been showering, so I was like, Okay,
we're going to wash your hair.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
The screaming match that absolutely ensued afterwards, it was like
an unrelenting battle. You would have thought that I was
trying to cut legs off. It was horrendous. Why because
she didn't want to wash her hair and that resulted
in her and she's so stubborn, she's I hate you, mummy,
I hate you.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
You are the worst mummy.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
And she went to bed so mad at me, and
I went to bed so completely deflated as a mom that.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
I was to make you upset?
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Or do you know that there is like not real
and they're a child, and or do you actually get
upset by your child saying that?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Do you?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Sometimes? To be honest, like I can make jokes about it.
Sometimes it makes me feel sad when I feel as
though I've tried so hard, like I feel like I've
done everything I can to really make a special day
for them, and I wanted it to be special, and
we've gone out of our way to do things that
are just for them. So then it's not that's not enough.
It's just sometimes it's the straw that breaks the camel's back.
(12:21):
And like, as a parent, your whole existence is geared
around trying to keep your kids safe, trying to keep
them happy.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Do you think I want to.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Go to seven kids birthday parties on the weekend? No,
but I'm doing it, you know, Like.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Do I want four ice cream today?
Speaker 6 (12:33):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Do I want to go to Yoji? Absolutely? You do
so much.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
And your entire existence revolves around making them happy. And
then when they can't be grateful for it because they're children,
and also they're just going to go through it. Sometimes
it really is. I didn't mean for this to get sentimental, but.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
It is time. It's that time of the week again.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Give away some pack cash to give.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Away five hundred dollars for chemist Warehouse little wins of
the week.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Now, if you.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Don't know how this works, you guys, ride in with
your little win. We don't want the big stuff, you know,
I want the exciting things. We want the stuff that
mostly goes unknown noticed in your life.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I reckon it could be exciting, but it can still
be little and excel very little.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Yeah, the little things are the exciting thing.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Give me an example, britt what was a little win
of your week?
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (13:19):
God, I got married. It was pretty big.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, but like it's got to be a small thing.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
It's got to be saying I don't know if I
and that was last week's news. Okay, so maybe it
is thinking that you've gone to the toilet.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
You think you've run out of toilet paper, but then
you found a.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Role wow, yeah, great, or it was run out in
the person before you was kind enough to actually restock it.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Exactly.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
All right, well, look we've got a couple of callers.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Kelly, We've got Kelly on the line. What was your
little win of the week. Hi?
Speaker 6 (13:46):
My little win is I coached my daughter's under eleven's
netball team, and after a bit of a hard season,
you know, tears, wins, losses, we've made it to the
grand final last night.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Yeah. That big.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
But if you haven't cried, have you even played? That's
what I think.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
Oh I've cried, They've cried. Yeah, a rough season. She's ten,
so that the girls arrange from nine to ten years old.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
When does it get super competitive because my kids are
five and four and nothing they do is competitive yet.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
Oh probably under thirteens, I would say the next year up. Yeah,
at the moment, they're still enjoying it, having fun, but yeah,
making it to the grand final. Yeah, it's a big achievement.
It's all volunteer staff and it's a lot of hours,
but yeah, definitely worth it.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Now all right, Kelly, we'll wait there. We've got Grant
on the line. Grant, what was your little win of
the week.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
Well, I been putting it off for a long while,
but I finally got to the age of that forty eight.
So I had to do the bell cancer screening. Yep, wow,
So I don't want to do it, don't want to
do it, So finally got the courage to do it.
Sent it in come back beautiful or clear, lovely great,
that was my win. But I did get a little
(14:55):
bit down the bottom in the high yellow writing saying
next time, please make this sample not so much.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Or you went hard, you filled the cup, you went
you went big.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Well it wasn't even a cop It's more like a
little potapop stick slash thing. But I didn't a full turd,
well not quite. But obviously, being a male, I didn't
read the instructions. I just see what I thought they
wanted to do, and had do a couple of times.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
You imagine, grand imagine being the poor.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Nurse who had to write that feedback down.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Do you think it's just too much? Grant? I don't
need it all, keep it, definitely.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
It was in bright yellow highlighted Please next time, do
not give us such a sample.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
So he's like you to give me tiny container.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
So I've gone and bought a big container, and I've
grown you.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
The honor of like filling that up.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
I went and got some chili chicken last night.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Bread sending in a touple container.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
What do they say if you're going to go go big?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
So I certainly do you know what seeing going big? Grant?
Speaker 1 (15:52):
I reckon that wins you five hundred dollars to spend
at Chemras warehouse.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Get some new tup aware to have tupe wear paper.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Yeah, that's great. Thanks gys.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
That's all yours, and I'm congratulations that it came back clean.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
That's great.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
I'm very happy, very good.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yeah, and you know what, also nice.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
It's very good to talk about these things, and not
many people talk about bow cancer screenings on national radio.
But it's a good reminder if anyone out there has
forgotten to do their screenings.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
No one's going to take care of your health unless
it's you, So go and do it.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Can we do like a little bet and switch here
for second grant? Why we've got you?
Speaker 3 (16:24):
You said at the start of this, you said I
was really putting it off and I didn't want.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
To do it. Why was that?
Speaker 6 (16:30):
Like?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
What was it?
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Because it does make me wonder.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
We are trying to get people to you know, educate
people and get people to do it.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
As a man late forties, why did you not want
to do it?
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Well, I guess it's part of the scare factor too.
You don't want a negative result or bad result.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
It's a bit icky.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
You got to do your small paper down into your
business and then do your scooping and it could be
quite you know. And I'm very heavy handed, as you
may already. I'm not a delicate corn of guy.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Oh we think you're raising. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Enjoy that five hundred dollars Thanks Chemists, Warehouse and guys,
that's it from us.
Hi Heart podcasts, hear more Kiss podcast playlist, and listen
live on the Free iHeart app. Good Pickup with Britt
Hockley and Laura Ben Lady.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
What our windows done? That's my world? Reason the dust
only good fabs all I've done much, But yeah I'm not.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
I'll big get and what I want it don't mattle
where This is the pick up.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
It's them Friday Feels everyone Friday Afternoon. What you laughing
at me for producing you because you don't know what
I'm about to say. I don't know anything. I literally
the show started and I was like, what are we
talking about?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Guys?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
And everyone's just been giggling anyway, it's the pick up
with pret Hockey and Laura Burn. I'm curious we're giggling
because we knew what we're going to talk about.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
But you were reading and fighting people on Instagram. On
my behalf, I.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Was literally deep.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
I was writing back to a woman whose name was Karen,
telling her that her comment was me I got to
do it.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I'm in an Instagram war right now.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
She didn't like my wedding dress.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
She felt the need to let me know, and she's
doubling down and her name is Karen, which is the
best much.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
I would like to say this though, on behalf of
all the Karens who are listening. It's such an unfortunate
name that's been hijacked because there's so many nice Karens.
But when an actual person named Karen is mean, mate,
you're doing it to yourself.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
And you're also hurting all the other Karens.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
You're hurting all the Karens. Think of the Karens.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Anyway, That's not what we're going to talk about.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
It is not just Friday Feels Laura, but something big
is happening this weekend.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
It's time. You might have forgotten.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Da da da da da dada. Oh we've got a budget.
We can't play the music here live.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
But Dancing with the Stars let me hardily.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Not only was it her wedding, she's now on Dancing
with the Stars from one big momentous occasion to the next.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Yep, I can't believe it is time to shine.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
It did come in handy though, all my dance training
for my wedding dance.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
That's what I will say.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
It's a shame Ben didn't do any though.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Did I don't know. Ben thinks he did. I can't
wait to share my wedding dance. Ben thinks he did
so well and he did. No, he absolutely did. But
I do lot of the twirling. He just had to
remember which hand to twirl me with him and out.
He thinks me up a lot, but he six foot
five doesn't count.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
It's on at seven pm on Sunday, and it's on
channel seven or seven plus.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
If you're really into your digital channels.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
You are not gonna want to miss it.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Like there's there's sprinkles and sparklers and haming and lifts
and twelves and do.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
You know how I'm excited to see on that me hopefully? Oh?
Oh I am, I am, I'm excited to see him.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
It was funny because seven years ago Osher was a
part of dumping me on national television on the Bachelor.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Now we're like sag around each next to each other.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yeah, what I'm about to tell you all is going
to make you feel gross. Your skin is going to crawl,
You are going to maybe want to burn your house down.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Don't do that. There is a doctor that has come out.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
And revealed the everyday household items that are dirtier than
your toilet seat. And now This article is being red
and shared so many times, but I'm pretty sure it's
because of how hot the doctor is, which has nothing
to do with it. But I'm going to get a
bit scizzy here for a minute. He talks about these
things in units c f USE, which is colony forming units. Now,
(03:12):
that is how they see how dirty something is. It's
bacteria per square inch. Before we get into a list, though,
and rattle that off.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
The only thing that I have been told that's more
dirty than a toilet is money. That's like, have you
heard that old wives tail? That's money that ever bribes?
Tale that every single dollar coin or like coins or
notes or whatever have actual poop particles on them.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Well, I've also heard, if I've got a few other ones,
the door handle of the toilet.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Is the worst than the truth.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
You don't wash your hands.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
What touches the toilet seat?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Guy?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Maybe okay, don't answer that. My brain was going on.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Depends on if a man is sat down to do
a pooh, because then it's more things to touch on
the toilet seat.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Usually.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
I've also heard a rumor that toilet, yes.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
You've got to tuck it in my okay, my husband.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Into this show, he'll be thrilled.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Okay, let's get back on track. So to give you context,
because we want to base it off this. A toilet
seat has fifty CFUs.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Okay, twenty forming units.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
That's the bacteria. So we're going with fifty bits of bacteria. Now,
listen to this.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
A TV remote you sit down at night, one hand
in the popcorn, then you touch the TV remote that
has five thousand CFUs. So that's one hundred times dirtier
than your toilet seat.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
And it's discussing.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Okay, you think that's bad.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
No strap in cutting board can have up to ten
thousand CFUs. That makes it two hundred times dirty.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I can believe this one though, And I also wonder,
is like plastic chopping boards or wooden chopping boards worse,
because wouldn't it can't be good.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Wooden harbor is more bacteria.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Of course, it's soaksen and then just sits in there
and then every so often you give it a bit
of a wash and there's your chicken for three days.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
This one, I.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Feel like, we know, but this is discussing. It makes
me want to go get some bacterial wipes and wipe
it down.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Now.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
But your mobile phone twenty five thousand CFU poos. Surely tweetos,
surely though your mobile phone is only dirtier if you're
someone who doesn't wash your hands, because if you're the
only person handling your phone, it's because it's everywhere other
people put their hand on a surface, the phone goes
on the surface, then it goes onto your hand.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
It's like it transfers off every But.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Then your hands would have more dirt on them than
a toilet seat because you're touching it's your hands they do.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I don't have the Pooh stats on that one, but
then your hands, God forbid.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Let's stick around. That's going to be our next week's show.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
But do you want to know what the two highest
ones were?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
A pillowcase if you're not washing your pillowcase weekly, which
I reckon most people listening, I don't think people are
doing it weekly, maybe bi weekly, like bi weekly is
twice I mean, fortunately, yeah, thank you for that.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Bi weekly, you're killing it. Bi weekly, you're good. But
a pillow case, if left.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Unwashed for one week, three million poos.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
And then if we move on to the killer, the
number one.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
So you need to go home and throw these out
single use your kitchen sponge. What you think you were
wiping bacteria with to clean it is actually spreading it
ten million see a few poos?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Do you know what?
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Though?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I listen to this and yeah, look horror terrorizing. I'm
so scattered of for germs. I'm not a very.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Germy person, as in, like, I don't care about germs
as much as are you.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Sick every week? But I'm not sick. That's my point.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
My point is is that I think you need germs
to be able to have some sort of immunity. I
have been ten thousand poop particles. No, but I think
we worry a bit too much about germs. Like I'm
the mom that when I drop back in the day,
my kids are not with dummies anymore, but dummy drops
on the ground, Pick up the dummy, wipe it on.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Your shirt, shove it back in the kid. She's fine.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
I look, I eat off the floor all the time.
It's fine.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
I'm not a germy person. I worked in a hospital
for thirteen years. I have picked up everything, and I
have a really great immunity. But there's something about knowing
that you're spreading ten thousand poopsy if you use across
your bench when you're wiping it.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
That's just not cool.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I think there's some things we need to learn from it.
I think, no, throw it out. I agree. And just
because it's soap doesn't mean it's clean.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I will never.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Forget just because it's cold, I mean, raining doesn't mean
it's cold.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
No, I will never forget being in a public toilet Once.
I was like maybe thirteen years old. It's a memory
that's stuck with me forever. And I went to wash
my hand. There was a bar It was a bar
soap that was sitting in this public toilet. You know
when the bar soap's like old and dried and it's
got like the cracks in it, and it's it's just
got the cracks in it because it's so dry, and
the cracks are kind of like black in between the cracks.
The soap was there. This old lady was in the
(07:29):
in the bathroom. She was washing her hands as well,
and she was just with water. And she turned around
to me as I went to reach it, and she goes, Darling,
just because it's soap doesn't make.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
It clean, It's true.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
And I looked at that soap and I was like
I'm gonna that's a wise wise woman right there.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
And I've kept that lesson my whole life.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Say and I kept that soap, I've still got it.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
On one hand, they say that being a parent is
like the greatest joy gift, the greatest gift.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I mean, I'm not sure. Yeah it is.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Oh, here comes the sandwich that everyone has to say.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I'm not saying a sandwich today. What I'm saying is
that it's also known to be quite a thankless job
at times. You know, like especially when you've got little kids,
they're not good at telling you how grateful they are
for the amazing life that you're building for them. They
often like to tell you that they hate you. And
my kids, I've got a five year old a four
year old Lola, who I seem to talk about a
(08:21):
lot because she really is the personality of the family.
She is going through a phase at the moment where
she likes to tell me that she hates me either,
I hate you, You're the worst mummy ever I'm getting
out of this family. Actually, they're all different versions of
how much she hates being a part of our household.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
That was my favorite.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Let's just quickly play that audio now when she yelled
at you and said I'm getting.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Out of here.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Actually, that's my favorite.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
That was. That was when we told her that she
was having a baby sister, and she was thrilled.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Anyway, So recently we I mean, we went.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
To Ballei obviously because you're a wedding brit but we
took the kids over there and we had a holiday
alongside that as well, and the kids had a truly
amazing time. We booked a hotel that was it's called
the Family Nest. It could not be more for children.
It has like a big play center there. It's got
a kid's club on site. Even within the own like
the second bedrooms of every villa, it's decked out for
(09:21):
children with toys and like blocks and cubby houses.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
What more could you want?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
It had a pull like it had every single thing
that a kid could possibly want. So we'd already done
all those kids' activities around the hotel and then this
one was the day after your wedding, and they'd been
with the babysitter.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
For a few days.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Mind you, Lola had told me that she loved the
Balinese nanny more than me.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
We're in the car and.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
She went, that's a hard pill to swallow.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
So we're in the car. We've gone to the beach.
She collected two little rocks. She handed me one rock.
One rock was evidently nicer than the other. One was
very obviously not an attractive rock. She handed me the
ugly rock and she said, Mummy, this is for you,
but this one is for Yanni. And she's patting the
pretty stone and I was like, Okay, that's cute. And
then she looks at me. This is about five minutes
(10:08):
later in the car, right She looks at me and
she goes, Immie, can I have that? And I was
like yeah, and I handed it back to her and
she goes, I changed my mind. They're both for Yanni.
They're both for Yanni. Window she was like, I know
that one, like she even said, she said you can
have that one because it's ugly. But then she wanted
to give them both.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Anyway. That was one thing, a little bit of a heartbreak.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
I just want to like prop you up here. Yannie's
the fun she she doesn't have to parents. She's the nanny,
so she looks after them, she plays with them, and
you're the disciplinarian and the one that has.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
To like break the news.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I don't know. I still think I'm the fun mom sometimes.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
We're on holiday, but you make them eat the vegetables
and stuff where the kids.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Were eating ice cream for breakfast.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Goddamn, I'll just try to make it feel better. Fine,
she hates you. Whatever, We'll just go back to your story.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
So so we're.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
On the last It was like the second last day
before we left. We went to like a beautiful beach club.
Like the kids could not have had a better day.
They went and played at like an activity center. They
had ice cream after their breakfast. We went to the
beach club. They had a second ice cream. The whole
day was centered around them just having an amazing time. Yeah,
and they seemed relatively grateful whilst we were doing the thing.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
We came home. The only thing.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
That they had to do in that day that was
against their wishes was that we needed to wash their hair,
because it had been a full seven days of zero
hair washing, and Lola looked like she'd rolled out of
a bin.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Okay, I didn't want to say anything when I saw her.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
She's done, she's dunk. She'd been showering, so I was like, Okay,
we're going to wash your hair.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
The screaming match that absolutely ensued afterwards, it was like
an unrelenting battle. You would have thought that I was
trying to cut legs off. It was horrendous. Why because
she didn't want to wash her hair and that resulted
in her and she's so stubborn, she's I hate you, mummy,
I hate you.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
You are the worst mummy.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
And she went to bed so mad at me, and
I went to bed so completely deflated as a mom that.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
I was to make you upset?
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Or do you know that there is like not real
and they're a child, and or do you actually get
upset by your child saying that?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Do you?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Sometimes? To be honest, like I can make jokes about it.
Sometimes it makes me feel sad when I feel as
though I've tried so hard, like I feel like I've
done everything I can to really make a special day
for them, and I wanted it to be special, and
we've gone out of our way to do things that
are just for them. So then it's not that's not enough.
It's just sometimes it's the straw that breaks the camel's back.
(12:21):
And like, as a parent, your whole existence is geared
around trying to keep your kids safe, trying to keep
them happy.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Do you think I want to.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Go to seven kids birthday parties on the weekend? No,
but I'm doing it, you know, Like.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Do I want four ice cream today?
Speaker 6 (12:33):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Do I want to go to Yoji? Absolutely? You do
so much.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
And your entire existence revolves around making them happy. And
then when they can't be grateful for it because they're children,
and also they're just going to go through it. Sometimes
it really is. I didn't mean for this to get sentimental, but.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
It is time. It's that time of the week again.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Give away some pack cash to give.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Away five hundred dollars for chemist Warehouse little wins of
the week.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Now, if you.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Don't know how this works, you guys, ride in with
your little win. We don't want the big stuff, you know,
I want the exciting things. We want the stuff that
mostly goes unknown noticed in your life.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I reckon it could be exciting, but it can still
be little and excel very little.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Yeah, the little things are the exciting thing.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Give me an example, britt what was a little win
of your week?
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (13:19):
God, I got married. It was pretty big.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, but like it's got to be a small thing.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
It's got to be saying I don't know if I
and that was last week's news. Okay, so maybe it
is thinking that you've gone to the toilet.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
You think you've run out of toilet paper, but then
you found a.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Role wow, yeah, great, or it was run out in
the person before you was kind enough to actually restock it.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Exactly.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
All right, well, look we've got a couple of callers.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Kelly, We've got Kelly on the line. What was your
little win of the week. Hi?
Speaker 6 (13:46):
My little win is I coached my daughter's under eleven's
netball team, and after a bit of a hard season,
you know, tears, wins, losses, we've made it to the
grand final last night.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Yeah. That big.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
But if you haven't cried, have you even played? That's
what I think.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
Oh I've cried, They've cried. Yeah, a rough season. She's ten,
so that the girls arrange from nine to ten years old.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
When does it get super competitive because my kids are
five and four and nothing they do is competitive yet.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
Oh probably under thirteens, I would say the next year up. Yeah,
at the moment, they're still enjoying it, having fun, but yeah,
making it to the grand final. Yeah, it's a big achievement.
It's all volunteer staff and it's a lot of hours,
but yeah, definitely worth it.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Now all right, Kelly, we'll wait there. We've got Grant
on the line. Grant, what was your little win of
the week.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
Well, I been putting it off for a long while,
but I finally got to the age of that forty eight.
So I had to do the bell cancer screening. Yep, wow,
So I don't want to do it, don't want to
do it, So finally got the courage to do it.
Sent it in come back beautiful or clear, lovely great,
that was my win. But I did get a little
(14:55):
bit down the bottom in the high yellow writing saying
next time, please make this sample not so much.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Or you went hard, you filled the cup, you went
you went big.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Well it wasn't even a cop It's more like a
little potapop stick slash thing. But I didn't a full turd,
well not quite. But obviously, being a male, I didn't
read the instructions. I just see what I thought they
wanted to do, and had do a couple of times.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
You imagine, grand imagine being the poor.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Nurse who had to write that feedback down.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Do you think it's just too much? Grant? I don't
need it all, keep it, definitely.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
It was in bright yellow highlighted Please next time, do
not give us such a sample.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
So he's like you to give me tiny container.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
So I've gone and bought a big container, and I've
grown you.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
The honor of like filling that up.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
I went and got some chili chicken last night.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Bread sending in a touple container.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
What do they say if you're going to go go big?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
So I certainly do you know what seeing going big? Grant?
Speaker 1 (15:52):
I reckon that wins you five hundred dollars to spend
at Chemras warehouse.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Get some new tup aware to have tupe wear paper.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Yeah, that's great. Thanks gys.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
That's all yours, and I'm congratulations that it came back clean.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
That's great.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
I'm very happy, very good.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yeah, and you know what, also nice.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
It's very good to talk about these things, and not
many people talk about bow cancer screenings on national radio.
But it's a good reminder if anyone out there has
forgotten to do their screenings.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
No one's going to take care of your health unless
it's you, So go and do it.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Can we do like a little bet and switch here
for second grant? Why we've got you?
Speaker 3 (16:24):
You said at the start of this, you said I
was really putting it off and I didn't want.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
To do it. Why was that?
Speaker 6 (16:30):
Like?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
What was it?
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Because it does make me wonder.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
We are trying to get people to you know, educate
people and get people to do it.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
As a man late forties, why did you not want
to do it?
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Well, I guess it's part of the scare factor too.
You don't want a negative result or bad result.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
It's a bit icky.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
