Speaker 1 (00:26):
Reason the dust only good labs all. I've done much,
But yeah I'm not. I'll beg get and.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
What I want.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
It don't matter where. This is the pickup, Hi guys,
Happy Wednesday to pick up with Britt Hockley and Laura Bird.
Happy hump Day, Happy hump Day. You know what, Britt,
We are like on the absolute home stretch now between
now and when this baby is born.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Thank God, That's all I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Like, I'm so sick talking about you right now. I'm not,
but I'm definitely ready for it. What are you gonna
do without me?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I've got some surprises up my sleeve. Actually, people, I'm
not ready.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
We're just gonna have big things to share about the show,
but not yet. I'm moving on without you. Everyone knows,
please don't. I'm also really disorganized. I think it comes
down to baby number three. You know, you have all
these appointments scheduled and whatnot. When your first time mum
or even second time mum, you're so to the dial
with the appointments. You're booked in for everything, and I
realized I don't care. Well, I realized I got to
(01:25):
thirty five weeks I hadn't had my hooping cough vaccination yet.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Well, that's just irresponsible.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Thank you. I try to Hell, I wouldn't be telling
anything I am. Well, look, I mean, you guys know
a Chemist Warehouse is such an amazing sponsor the show.
But I went in there today and I got my
hooping cough vaccination. And it is always a surprise to
me how easy it is, like how simple the whole
process is. And I don't know why I didn't just
do it three weeks ago when I was supposed to.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I know, and you do forget how easy it is.
I actually you gave me a reminder. I'm just about
you for a booster. I think, do you know why
you need to have it done? Because Brittany keeps on
teasing that she's going to be there in the delivery
suite with me. Yeah, I'm going to pull that out
by the umbilical cord. I've seen it done multiple times.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
To be fair, Matt doesn't want to cut the umbilical cord.
He hates it.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
I'll do it.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah, I mean you can step up to the plate.
It's going to be squidgy. I've never felt it kind
of feels like a it's like cutting a piece of squid.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Do you know what I would think? It is like
an anaconda? No, you know this jelly snakes.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
No, it's it's really like klamari, but like kind of
kind of stringy kalamari.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I love that. I'll be that. You can count eat it, Britt.
I need to get your thoughts and opinions on this because.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
I mean, basically a doctor, is that one.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
No, absolutely not. I don't not think that you can
claim that. But you did work in hospital for a
long time. People might not know this about you.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Yeah, thirteen years Yeah, well radiographer, yeah, diagnostic radiographer fifteen
years left the really good work of being a radiographer
to come here and talk crap on the radio.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
What a noble career change. Look. The reason why I
wanted to speak about this is there's a woman I follow.
Her name is Jen Hamilton, and she's a nurse. She's
from the US, and she posted something that I deal
with all the time. But I have never seen someone
do this before. And I am shook us to my
call that this is a way in which some people
(03:11):
solve the issue of having inflame taste buds. Okay here,
I know, all right, Okay, come on the journey with me,
wild Ryan. So you know how sometimes you'll wake up
in the morning or like over the day and you'll
just have one taste bud that gets inflamed, like so
like on the tip of your tongue. You have like one, yes,
you do. It's an ulsa. It's not an ulca. It's
not like it's not like a concave thing. It's just
(03:32):
like an inflame little dot, a white dot. I have
one literally right now.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Yeah, but isn't that just a tongue aldsong.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
No, it's not a tongue alds it. It's an inflame
taste bud. If you get them on the reg you
will know they are so deeply annoying. Like once you
have one, it's like all you can kind of feel.
You've gotta talk in a certain way to kind of
move your teeth around your tongue. And I'm pretty sure
it's awful. No, it's not an ulcer. Just enjoin me
on this story. Okay, even nurse Jen says, it's an
inflame taste bud. Yeah, but tell us what else Nurse
(03:59):
Gen did. So the comment section of this is wild,
but let me just kind of set up what she did.
So Jen gets a pair of tweezers and she grabs
the taste bud, which if you've ever had an inflame
taste bud, I'm talking about the little tiny ones. She
grabs it and she pulls it straight off, like like
she's pulling out a blackhead, right, and then it bleeds
for a second, and within twenty seconds she's like, it's gone,
(04:22):
no pain, completely gone.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I do not believe that is no pain.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Think of how much it hurts if you accidentally bite
your tongue.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
And she said this, she said, warning, if there's one
thing about me that I'm not going to live with,
it's a swollen taste bud. You were getting yoinked and
you were gone.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
That's disgusting.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
The problem is is, like I watched this and I
was like absolutely horrified. I was, oh my god, that
to me is so painful because I do get them,
and I was like, the thought of ripping them out
sounds like irrational. It was the comment section that blew
my mind. The amount of people who were like, am
I the only one who didn't know about swollen taste buds?
For one's I didn't, Yeah, And then other people are like,
oh my god, I thought I was a psycho for
(04:59):
doing this, but I just ripped them out and then
they go away within seconds. Someone else wrote that they
clipped them off with a pair of nail clippers. What
is wrong with the it's a taste bud.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Let it live, Glad I'm not.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
The only one doing this. It's legitimate, this person. I've
done this my whole life. It hurts so bad for
literally a minute, but way better than letting it hurt
and be swollen for four to five days. Are we
pulling off our own taste buds when they get swollen?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Well apparently, but I mean ten minutes ago, I've never
even heard of it.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I'm gonna try it next time, because I get them
really often. I'm gonna I'm going to rip one off
and report pack.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
I actually don't think we should be advising ew I
just googled it.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
You get that these pussy little things on your tongue
not like that bad.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yeah, I've got one here. It's when you have a
lotwer moon system. I think immune system when you run
down my moon system, monity, I blame pregnancy for everything
at the moment.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Guys, No, this person's attached to a piece of string
and they're pulling it off exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
People pluck them off. People are cooked. Man, Just let
it leave, No, because it does hurt. And I've even
been speaking weird today because it hurts on the side
of my mouth. Anyone want to come pluck it? Okay,
where's the line, Like, if you can get your partner
to like pick your pimples in your black can you
get a partners to mine?
Speaker 3 (06:10):
No, that is the line. And anyone is doing that
to yourself or each other is disgusting. This is Please,
this is not medical advice. Laura is not telling you
to do this.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
True. If you do want to go and have a
look it up, though, go Jen Hamilton's Instagram because she's
a nurse. I trust her.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Well, Ill, Laura, I was shook by the general public's
response on the weekend to my niece Maya's first birthday.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Why does the general public even weigh in on your
niece's birthday?
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Great question?
Speaker 3 (06:38):
So, my niece Maya turned one, I flew up north
to spend it with my sister and her and they're
like a really small mini party, and I put some
photos on Instagram, you know, like happy first birthday to
my niece whatever. There are a couple of kids. I mean,
my niece doesn't really do much. She can't even walk yet,
so it's But also, I.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Said this the other week, I feel like the first
birthday party is a celebration for the parents for making
it a whole year of being a parent. That's absolutely
I was.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
But Maya's quite a so her friends are a little
older than her. So she's what like thirty five, Yeah,
pretty much. No, she was the youngest there. The other
kids were like, I think the next youngest kid was three.
Then they were like five, six, and seven, because they
were obviously like our friends' kids.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Yeah, anyway, so I put a foight.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Up of her eating her first birthday cake. Now, it
was like just a rainbow cake that you can get
from Woolies.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
I saw it. It's the iconic. Every parent will know it.
It's the rainbow like side cake. It's got white icing
on the outside. You cut it open, it's a rain
It's a classic. It's a kid classic.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
So she cut it open, flipped it around, made it
into a butterfly, added.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Some bits whatever, jazzed it up a bit.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
But it's like just has hundreds and thousands all over
it and inside rainbow and it's icing.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
It's just a delicious cake.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
It's full of sugar.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Well this is this is where this is going. And
so I put the photo up, thought nothing about it.
And then I started to get some messages, just sporadic
at the start, thought nothing of it and like ignored
them like in my DMS. Then they started to come
in way more frequently. People pretty gobsmacked that a one
year old would have a birthday cake with sugar. Like.
(08:15):
The messages started to be like, oh, sorry, is that
kid friendly? And I was like, well, it's not toxic.
She can Can she consume me?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Anyway, this came in more and more and more and more,
and then there were people saying you should have given
her a watermelon cake, people sending me pictures of it.
I am sorry, but there were people sending me literally
a watermelon that they cut and scoop it out and
then they put a candle in the chip, make watermelon cake. Sorry,
your poor child, somebody take that child away. She is one.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
It doesn't know any different. This is what I want
to add on top of this.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
My sister Sherry is a nutritionist.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
She this is her life.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
She knows what he's okay, she knows what he's good.
The child has never like Maya has never.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Had sugar before. She doesn't eat sugar.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Go off, queen, get get her in one big here. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
And so Shreg was like, oh my god, you've never
seen I'll tell you what. She had one taste and
you've never seen a kid eat so quickly. I'm assuming
that's the addictive nature of the sugar kicking in. And
she never eats it. She's not gonna eat it for
the next year. But it's guys, if we are living
in a world where we cannot have.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
A birthday cake and you've got to have a piece
of do you know what watermelon is?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
It's water?
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Are you going to give your child water for their
first birthday?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
This is a real rant that I wasn't expecting from
you to because.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
I Justa'm like, guys, let like, there is so much
going on in the world. Let a kid have a
and like all the other kids water birthday cake. They
don't want watermelon like it's a birthday.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
But also you're like on auntie duties and you're getting
yelled at it's not even your legs not in my
cake't I get very defense. The difference between this is
people obviously just expect more from you, brit because I've
bought that, because I've bought that exact same cake for
both my kid's birthdays, for almost every single birthday on repeat,
well that's if they were one, and I've never received
(09:56):
a message. Everyone's like, yeah, that's about right, Laura. I
even covered it in smart saut Laura's got no time
to do anything. She would have got that. I literally
covered her delivered. Yeah. I think it was Lola's birth
first birthday. I covered it in Smarties and also things
that could be considered a choking has it and not
one single person message las like what is that?
Speaker 3 (10:14):
You know where you put? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I just yeah, I just know, I like decorated with
bits of lego, And everyone was like, yeah, that's right up, Laura,
Salie we joke sparkles in it.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
It's got like fireworks, it's gonna explode.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I'm a great mom, thank you, But I also you
brought this up. Don't attack me. That's right, that's right.
The birthday parties are for birthday party. Let me live.
Let them live.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
If they want a cake, they can need a cake.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I feel like someone hurt you on the weekend. Now
we're talking about hidden secrets.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
So if you have, we're talking about secret talent, secrets,
hidden secrets.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Secrets are usually hidden. Because I've lost the plot today,
I actually have. We're talking about hidden talents, and I know,
produced Grace, you're a bit confused about this because I
brought this even though I forgot about what we're just
talking about. But I want to know what is your
hidden talent? Give us a call. The reason why I
wanted to talk about this is because the other night
I was just casually flicking through my stories on Instagram
(11:16):
looking at what my friends were up to, and produce
a Grace. You popped up there you were, you popped
up in all your glory. And when I say all
your glory, you were in stripper hels on a striper
pole and you were wearing not much. She's scantily clad,
and you were doing a full blown middle splits upside down,
and I just I've known you for so long now, Like,
(11:38):
we spend so much time together, and it took the
wind out of me. It anestly did I was not
on it. Do you know why, Laura? I got shocked.
I was so shocked. It's like, how have you kept
this a secret for so long? It's because you're not
on her close friends group.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Okay, that's a lie.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Laura is in my close friends. You haven't seen her talent.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
And I usually put my pole dancing stuff on there
because I have like relatives and bosses and stuff that
followed me.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
So you through that the window this time, didn't. You
were like, watch me do the middle splits in a
G string put that straight up on the main feet. No,
that was on close friends. It wasn't. Did you main
feed that? Main feeded it your watches this?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah, And there were a few people in the office
that I got to see a real live reaction to
watching me do that, and I went, you know what,
I'm gonna pop.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
This on close friends.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Okay, you are very talented.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
So like, just to really get the picture, she was
upside down on the pole, holding on by only her hands.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Your legs were in the splits in the g.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Banger, and then you did like a swifty flip thing
twirl down the pole, and you still made it look graceful.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
It was impressive.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
The reason why I was confused by this is because
you mentioned not so long ago, You're like, oh, yeah,
you know, I'm doing cold dancing. I've only just started,
and so like you know, when you see someone who's
just started pole dancing, they're particularly bad at it. So like,
I wasn't expecting a full middle split which I can
barely touch my toe. Actually I can't touch my toes
at this moment. Let's be real. But I was, I
mean pleasantly surprised. But also I don't understand why you've
(12:59):
been keeping this secret.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
It's a workplace. I wasn't just going to drop into
the splits in a workplace.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Why not? That sounds you don't know what we need.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
I mean I can, but there's a lot of equipment around.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
I don't want to damage anything.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
You were something jeans.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Could you do this? Gene? I reckon? I could could
you do it quickly?
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Okay, right, all right, I'll hold the thought down.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Oh she's going down.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Oh oh my god, holy holy, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
You really can do it?
Speaker 3 (13:22):
I've got can you push yourself up, putty hips pop out.
Oh wow, we're actually absolutely putting that onto our socials.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
Grit.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Do you have a head and talent that you've kept
from the world?
Speaker 5 (13:34):
Do you know what I have?
Speaker 3 (13:35):
It's one that I I don't know if I wanted
to let people know that I had this talent because
I don't want to brag. But I can for the
sake of the show, I can tell you I can
do a seagull sound.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
I like that you keep it that a secret? But
actually you have done that on the show before, have
I Yeah, you busted it out once. Can you give
it to us again again? What haven't done?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Well?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Warm up?
Speaker 4 (13:54):
I'll push the microphone away.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Everyone, everyone across the nation changes channel on the radio.
That sounds pretty?
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Was that a lead or not?
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Actually?
Speaker 1 (14:08):
That good? Wasn't it?
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Have I lost my talent?
Speaker 1 (14:13):
It wasn't convincing.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Don't be mean. Sorry, I that's my one talent?
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Was it not good? You've got other talents? Baby? No,
I don't. That's all I've got left. Actually, look, the
phone's been going up. We've got Courtney on the line. Courtney,
what's your hidden talent?
Speaker 6 (14:26):
So I can still after years squirt breast milk out
of my good boob at least four to five meters
away from where I'm standing. How every time without fail?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
How LONGO did you stop breastfeeding?
Speaker 6 (14:39):
So I've not long stop with my youngest, but there's
six years between my two and I could still do
it five years after I had my elders.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Oh my god, that's amazing.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
What do you mean you're still producing milk without breastfeeding.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
I'm so confused.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
Some people do, bob, my good boob can still go
for miles and she just never stopped.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Do you know what's so funny about this is like
every mom who's ever breastfed is like, oh, yeah, yeah,
I know the good boob story. There's always one boob that,
like your kid prefers to feed on, and then that
boob gets really good at making milk, and the other
one's just like this sad sack that hangs by the
side Britain.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Literally, no, I was.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Good for when your husband won't stop snoring at not
like it is amazing, like the room and it's just
like one good little squirt He doesn't know, but it's
it's so harmless and it just makes you feel so
much better about not sleeping at night.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Oh my god, it's just hilarious. I have this moment
with my husband. This is years and years ago when
my firstborn was young and I was in the bath
and he came in. He was like fully clothed, but
he was just sitting on the loo having a chat
to me. And I said, I reckon, I could squirt
you with breast milk from here, and he said, go
for it. And not only did I squirt him, but
I squired it all up the wall on the other side.
You get some real reach with that stuff.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Yeah, I've seen it happen, not from you.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
But it can go everywhere, like almost an explosion sometimes,
especially when you're early breastfeeding days.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Oh my god, breastfeeding. But I also have a boob
I prefer, but that's for another day.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
All right, guys, Well that's

Yeah, I mean you can step up to the plate.
It's going to be squidgy. I've never felt it kind

Do you know what I would think? It is like
an anaconda? No, you know this jelly snakes.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
No, it's it's really like klamari, but like kind of
kind of stringy kalamari.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I love that. I'll be that. You can count eat it, Britt.
I need to get your thoughts and opinions on this because.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
I mean, basically a doctor, is that one.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
No, absolutely not. I don't not think that you can
claim that. But you did work in hospital for a
long time. People might not know this about you.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Yeah, thirteen years Yeah, well radiographer, yeah, diagnostic radiographer fifteen
years left the really good work of being a radiographer
to come here and talk crap on the radio.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
What a noble career change. Look. The reason why I
wanted to speak about this is there's a woman I follow.
Her name is Jen Hamilton, and she's a nurse. She's
from the US, and she posted something that I deal
with all the time. But I have never seen someone
do this before. And I am shook us to my
call that this is a way in which some people
(03:11):
solve the issue of having inflame taste buds. Okay here,
I know, all right, Okay, come on the journey with me,
wild Ryan. So you know how sometimes you'll wake up
in the morning or like over the day and you'll
just have one taste bud that gets inflamed, like so
like on the tip of your tongue. You have like one, yes,
you do. It's an ulsa. It's not an ulca. It's
not like it's not like a concave thing. It's just
(03:32):
like an inflame little dot, a white dot. I have
one literally right now.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Yeah, but isn't that just a tongue aldsong.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
No, it's not a tongue alds it. It's an inflame
taste bud. If you get them on the reg you
will know they are so deeply annoying. Like once you
have one, it's like all you can kind of feel.
You've gotta talk in a certain way to kind of
move your teeth around your tongue. And I'm pretty sure
it's awful. No, it's not an ulcer. Just enjoin me
on this story. Okay, even nurse Jen says, it's an
inflame taste bud. Yeah, but tell us what else Nurse
(03:59):
Gen did. So the comment section of this is wild,
but let me just kind of set up what she did.
So Jen gets a pair of tweezers and she grabs
the taste bud, which if you've ever had an inflame
taste bud, I'm talking about the little tiny ones. She
grabs it and she pulls it straight off, like like
she's pulling out a blackhead, right, and then it bleeds
for a second, and within twenty seconds she's like, it's gone,
(04:22):
no pain, completely gone.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I do not believe that is no pain.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Think of how much it hurts if you accidentally bite
your tongue.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
And she said this, she said, warning, if there's one
thing about me that I'm not going to live with,
it's a swollen taste bud. You were getting yoinked and
you were gone.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
That's disgusting.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
The problem is is, like I watched this and I
was like absolutely horrified. I was, oh my god, that
to me is so painful because I do get them,
and I was like, the thought of ripping them out
sounds like irrational. It was the comment section that blew
my mind. The amount of people who were like, am
I the only one who didn't know about swollen taste buds?
For one's I didn't, Yeah, And then other people are like,
oh my god, I thought I was a psycho for
(04:59):
doing this, but I just ripped them out and then
they go away within seconds. Someone else wrote that they
clipped them off with a pair of nail clippers. What
is wrong with the it's a taste bud.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Let it live, Glad I'm not.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
The only one doing this. It's legitimate, this person. I've
done this my whole life. It hurts so bad for
literally a minute, but way better than letting it hurt
and be swollen for four to five days. Are we
pulling off our own taste buds when they get swollen?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Well apparently, but I mean ten minutes ago, I've never
even heard of it.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I'm gonna try it next time, because I get them
really often. I'm gonna I'm going to rip one off
and report pack.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
I actually don't think we should be advising ew I
just googled it.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
You get that these pussy little things on your tongue
not like that bad.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yeah, I've got one here. It's when you have a
lotwer moon system. I think immune system when you run
down my moon system, monity, I blame pregnancy for everything
at the moment.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Guys, No, this person's attached to a piece of string
and they're pulling it off exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
People pluck them off. People are cooked. Man, Just let
it leave, No, because it does hurt. And I've even
been speaking weird today because it hurts on the side
of my mouth. Anyone want to come pluck it? Okay,
where's the line, Like, if you can get your partner
to like pick your pimples in your black can you
get a partners to mine?
Speaker 3 (06:10):
No, that is the line. And anyone is doing that
to yourself or each other is disgusting. This is Please,
this is not medical advice. Laura is not telling you
to do this.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
True. If you do want to go and have a
look it up, though, go Jen Hamilton's Instagram because she's
a nurse. I trust her.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Well, Ill, Laura, I was shook by the general public's
response on the weekend to my niece Maya's first birthday.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Why does the general public even weigh in on your
niece's birthday?
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Great question?
Speaker 3 (06:38):
So, my niece Maya turned one, I flew up north
to spend it with my sister and her and they're
like a really small mini party, and I put some
photos on Instagram, you know, like happy first birthday to
my niece whatever. There are a couple of kids. I mean,
my niece doesn't really do much. She can't even walk yet,
so it's But also, I.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Said this the other week, I feel like the first
birthday party is a celebration for the parents for making
it a whole year of being a parent. That's absolutely
I was.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
But Maya's quite a so her friends are a little
older than her. So she's what like thirty five, Yeah,
pretty much. No, she was the youngest there. The other
kids were like, I think the next youngest kid was three.
Then they were like five, six, and seven, because they
were obviously like our friends' kids.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Yeah, anyway, so I put a foight.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Up of her eating her first birthday cake. Now, it
was like just a rainbow cake that you can get
from Woolies.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
I saw it. It's the iconic. Every parent will know it.
It's the rainbow like side cake. It's got white icing
on the outside. You cut it open, it's a rain
It's a classic. It's a kid classic.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
So she cut it open, flipped it around, made it
into a butterfly, added.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Some bits whatever, jazzed it up a bit.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
But it's like just has hundreds and thousands all over
it and inside rainbow and it's icing.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
It's just a delicious cake.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
It's full of sugar.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Well this is this is where this is going. And
so I put the photo up, thought nothing about it.
And then I started to get some messages, just sporadic
at the start, thought nothing of it and like ignored
them like in my DMS. Then they started to come
in way more frequently. People pretty gobsmacked that a one
year old would have a birthday cake with sugar. Like.
(08:15):
The messages started to be like, oh, sorry, is that
kid friendly? And I was like, well, it's not toxic.
She can Can she consume me?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Anyway, this came in more and more and more and more,
and then there were people saying you should have given
her a watermelon cake, people sending me pictures of it.
I am sorry, but there were people sending me literally
a watermelon that they cut and scoop it out and
then they put a candle in the chip, make watermelon cake. Sorry,
your poor child, somebody take that child away. She is one.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
It doesn't know any different. This is what I want
to add on top of this.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
My sister Sherry is a nutritionist.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
She this is her life.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
She knows what he's okay, she knows what he's good.
The child has never like Maya has never.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Had sugar before. She doesn't eat sugar.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Go off, queen, get get her in one big here. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
And so Shreg was like, oh my god, you've never
seen I'll tell you what. She had one taste and
you've never seen a kid eat so quickly. I'm assuming
that's the addictive nature of the sugar kicking in. And
she never eats it. She's not gonna eat it for
the next year. But it's guys, if we are living
in a world where we cannot have.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
A birthday cake and you've got to have a piece
of do you know what watermelon is?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
It's water?
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Are you going to give your child water for their
first birthday?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
This is a real rant that I wasn't expecting from
you to because.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
I Justa'm like, guys, let like, there is so much
going on in the world. Let a kid have a
and like all the other kids water birthday cake. They
don't want watermelon like it's a birthday.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
But also you're like on auntie duties and you're getting
yelled at it's not even your legs not in my
cake't I get very defense. The difference between this is
people obviously just expect more from you, brit because I've
bought that, because I've bought that exact same cake for
both my kid's birthdays, for almost every single birthday on repeat,
well that's if they were one, and I've never received
(09:56):
a message. Everyone's like, yeah, that's about right, Laura. I
even covered it in smart saut Laura's got no time
to do anything. She would have got that. I literally
covered her delivered. Yeah. I think it was Lola's birth
first birthday. I covered it in Smarties and also things
that could be considered a choking has it and not
one single person message las like what is that?
Speaker 3 (10:14):
You know where you put? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I just yeah, I just know, I like decorated with
bits of lego, And everyone was like, yeah, that's right up, Laura,
Salie we joke sparkles in it.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
It's got like fireworks, it's gonna explode.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I'm a great mom, thank you, But I also you
brought this up. Don't attack me. That's right, that's right.
The birthday parties are for birthday party. Let me live.
Let them live.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
If they want a cake, they can need a cake.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I feel like someone hurt you on the weekend. Now
we're talking about hidden secrets.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
So if you have, we're talking about secret talent, secrets,
hidden secrets.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Secrets are usually hidden. Because I've lost the plot today,
I actually have. We're talking about hidden talents, and I know,
produced Grace, you're a bit confused about this because I
brought this even though I forgot about what we're just
talking about. But I want to know what is your
hidden talent? Give us a call. The reason why I
wanted to talk about this is because the other night
I was just casually flicking through my stories on Instagram
(11:16):
looking at what my friends were up to, and produce
a Grace. You popped up there you were, you popped
up in all your glory. And when I say all
your glory, you were in stripper hels on a striper
pole and you were wearing not much. She's scantily clad,
and you were doing a full blown middle splits upside down,
and I just I've known you for so long now, Like,
(11:38):
we spend so much time together, and it took the
wind out of me. It anestly did I was not
on it. Do you know why, Laura? I got shocked.
I was so shocked. It's like, how have you kept
this a secret for so long? It's because you're not
on her close friends group.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Okay, that's a lie.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Laura is in my close friends. You haven't seen her talent.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
And I usually put my pole dancing stuff on there
because I have like relatives and bosses and stuff that
followed me.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
So you through that the window this time, didn't. You
were like, watch me do the middle splits in a
G string put that straight up on the main feet. No,
that was on close friends. It wasn't. Did you main
feed that? Main feeded it your watches this?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah, And there were a few people in the office
that I got to see a real live reaction to
watching me do that, and I went, you know what,
I'm gonna pop.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
This on close friends.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Okay, you are very talented.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
So like, just to really get the picture, she was
upside down on the pole, holding on by only her hands.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Your legs were in the splits in the g.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Banger, and then you did like a swifty flip thing
twirl down the pole, and you still made it look graceful.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
It was impressive.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
The reason why I was confused by this is because
you mentioned not so long ago, You're like, oh, yeah,
you know, I'm doing cold dancing. I've only just started,
and so like you know, when you see someone who's
just started pole dancing, they're particularly bad at it. So like,
I wasn't expecting a full middle split which I can
barely touch my toe. Actually I can't touch my toes
at this moment. Let's be real. But I was, I
mean pleasantly surprised. But also I don't understand why you've
(12:59):
been keeping this secret.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
It's a workplace. I wasn't just going to drop into
the splits in a workplace.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Why not? That sounds you don't know what we need.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
I mean I can, but there's a lot of equipment around.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
I don't want to damage anything.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
You were something jeans.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Could you do this? Gene? I reckon? I could could
you do it quickly?
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Okay, right, all right, I'll hold the thought down.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Oh she's going down.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Oh oh my god, holy holy, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
You really can do it?
Speaker 3 (13:22):
I've got can you push yourself up, putty hips pop out.
Oh wow, we're actually absolutely putting that onto our socials.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
Grit.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Do you have a head and talent that you've kept
from the world?
Speaker 5 (13:34):
Do you know what I have?
Speaker 3 (13:35):
It's one that I I don't know if I wanted
to let people know that I had this talent because
I don't want to brag. But I can for the
sake of the show, I can tell you I can
do a seagull sound.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
I like that you keep it that a secret? But
actually you have done that on the show before, have
I Yeah, you busted it out once. Can you give
it to us again again? What haven't done?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Well?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Warm up?
Speaker 4 (13:54):
I'll push the microphone away.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Everyone, everyone across the nation changes channel on the radio.
That sounds pretty?
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Was that a lead or not?
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Actually?
Speaker 1 (14:08):
That good? Wasn't it?
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Have I lost my talent?
Speaker 1 (14:13):
It wasn't convincing.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Don't be mean. Sorry, I that's my one talent?
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Was it not good? You've got other talents? Baby? No,
I don't. That's all I've got left. Actually, look, the
phone's been going up. We've got Courtney on the line. Courtney,
what's your hidden talent?
Speaker 6 (14:26):
So I can still after years squirt breast milk out
of my good boob at least four to five meters
away from where I'm standing. How every time without fail?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
How LONGO did you stop breastfeeding?
Speaker 6 (14:39):
So I've not long stop with my youngest, but there's
six years between my two and I could still do
it five years after I had my elders.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Oh my god, that's amazing.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
What do you mean you're still producing milk without breastfeeding.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
I'm so confused.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
Some people do, bob, my good boob can still go
for miles and she just never stopped.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Do you know what's so funny about this is like
every mom who's ever breastfed is like, oh, yeah, yeah,
I know the good boob story. There's always one boob that,
like your kid prefers to feed on, and then that
boob gets really good at making milk, and the other
one's just like this sad sack that hangs by the
side Britain.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Literally, no, I was.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Good for when your husband won't stop snoring at not
like it is amazing, like the room and it's just
like one good little squirt He doesn't know, but it's
it's so harmless and it just makes you feel so
much better about not sleeping at night.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Oh my god, it's just hilarious. I have this moment
with my husband. This is years and years ago when
my firstborn was young and I was in the bath
and he came in. He was like fully clothed, but
he was just sitting on the loo having a chat
to me. And I said, I reckon, I could squirt
you with breast milk from here, and he said, go
for it. And not only did I squirt him, but
I squired it all up the wall on the other side.
You get some real reach with that stuff.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Yeah, I've seen it happen, not from you.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
But it can go everywhere, like almost an explosion sometimes,
especially when you're early breastfeeding days.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Oh my god, breastfeeding. But I also have a boob
I prefer, but that's for another day.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
All right, guys, Well that's
