Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Lifelun cut acknowledges the traditional custodians of country. We pay
our respects to their elders past and present.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Always was, always will be Aboriginal Land. This episode was
recorded on d rug Wallamuta Land. Hi guys, and welcome
back to another episode of Live on Card.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
I'm Laura, I'm Britney. Happy Tuesday. Yeah, why don't you
tell everyone what you just said into the microphone? It's
pretty crude And I said that.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
To you in a trusting environment? Off my is anything trusting?
Is anything like?

Speaker 3 (00:36):
What is?

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Do? We have a safe environment. I feel like everything
we do it's all for content. It all just makes
its way onto the podcast eventually.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Do you know one thing I have realized is what
usually like with your best friends? Because I don't see
anyone more than you two, Like you know, you're my
inner circle.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Yes, this is true.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
And when I say you two, I forget that people
can't see producer case you're sitting here. I don't see
anyone more than producer show and Laura, right, And I
think your class those people. And you're in a circle
as your best friends, and as your best friends, you
classify those people. It's the people you trust with information
and that you like to go to Yeah, I trust you.
It is a pretty precarious position to be in when
you don't know what is ever going to be used
against you with your best friends.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
You should know by now after four and a half years,
that that is everything.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
I don't think it's what I said that was confronting.
I think it's the two things I said together. I said,
so I killed a bird, and I was like, man,
I'm horny. I could suck a dick.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
Ha ha.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
That all needs context now because with that, even you
know what, there was a big conversation that unfolded around
that because I was like, was it an eagle or
was it a sparrow?

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Because people are going to feel differently about that.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
No, Okay, look, I said, guys, it is very I
had a very traumatic weekend traumatic.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yes, it was traumatic traumatic. It was traumatic traumatic traumatic traumatic.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
What am I saying? Traumatic trauma?

Speaker 2 (01:55):
So it's traumamatic Okay. I went up to Port mcquarie
see my family. Five hour drive beautiful, lovely love that
for me, and.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
It's just highway.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
It's the most boring drive, Like it's five hours basically straight.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
You get out of Sydney and straight. You don't make
a turn until you get there anyway. You know how
sometimes the birds fly to eat food off the road,
like roadkill and stuff.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
And they always jump out.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
They feel the vibrations, they hear the car coming, they
always jump out of the way. Well, this one bird,
he didn't have good reflex skills and he wasn't very agile,
and he flew down and I was fanging it like
one hundred and ten and he didn't move, and then
I just went cook and he went straight into the
grill of my car. And it was you know, when

(02:39):
you're driving and you're you know when you want it
because it's unsafe to swerve. You never swerve, like that's
the number one rule on the road is because you'd
end up having an accent.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
So you just unfortunately have especially when you're go on
that s feed.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
I just really, really really want to clarify because I
know some people will be listening to this being like
you can't laugh about this.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
I'm not.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
It was horrified. I'm still reeling from it. Yes, I
am not laughing. I am not laughing thing about a
bird dying, because if I was in that situation, I
would be traumatized.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
I would be crying traumatiz it'd be traumatic.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
No, I'm more laughing at the way in which you're
telling the story.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
I just can you just tell me?

Speaker 2 (03:13):
It needs to be a bird that's not a majestic
animal needs to be like does.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
It matter, it's still an animal.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
It needs to be like a minor bird or something
one that's a pest. It needs to be one that like,
we can't you know, it can't be lori key.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
All animals are created equal. You say that as you
eat your bacon sandwich. I don't like bacon. Actually, it
was a beauty. It's a beautiful bird. It was a magpie.
I care no magpies. A beautiful bird. You know how
intelligent magpies are. They are so highly intelligent. They're also natives.
They do take out. Yeah, they will swoop you.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
But anyway, okay, but do you know what actually, while
we're we're here on the bird transitioning, you know, I
love animals.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
I love animal facts.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Do you know what you're supposed to do? If a
magpie comes for you, sweeps for you, you don't hit
it with your car one hundred and ten colums an hour.
But I'm not supposed to run. I don't know if
you know that you never turn you back on a magpie.
That's when they keep swooping.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
Apparently, No, they won't come for your eyes if you're
looking at them.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Keeha. You don't run from a magpie because when you
turn your back on it, that's when it keeps coming
from you.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
So you shouldn't turn around and run. Shouldn't.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
This makes sense because that's why they always chase cyclists
and chase cyclists down. And I mean it looks funny,
but it's not funny for the cyclist.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
No, you're supposed to turn around and stare that and
no eye staring. It won't come for your face, it
will not. Okay, don't quote me on this in case
anything happens. We don't have enough assurance. But like, that's
what I have read, that you're not supposed to turn
you back on it like a bear as well.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Please stop taking advice over me, Okay, I have some
updates on my own before we get into stuff is
really important. You know this thing on my arm, this
thing that I've had for ages now so no one
else can see. It's like a slightly browner patch on
Laura's arm that she's had for the while. It's been
here for ages, Like it's literally been here for years.
It goes it's whenever I'm in thing, Yeah, whenever I

(04:58):
get darker, this patch on my arm gets darker. Yeah,
and being that at summertime, like it's been pretty dark
at the moment, but this is like being here for years.
The last couple of months, I would say, it's gotten bigger.
And so recently I went to the doctor and the
doctor like told me, he gave me some thing to
try on. It didn't work. Didn't work. So now I've
gone back there after the three weeks and I've gone
back with the thing on my arm, and I'm like, hey,

(05:19):
the thing you gave me didn't work.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
What do we think this is? Because it's not working? Oh,
you want to know what I have on my arm? Fungus.
It's a fungal infectious. Oh yeah, it's a fungus.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
Why didn't you It's.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
Like, hey, you never tell me I've got something on
my face.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
I've got like a fucking shittaki mushroom growing out of
my arm, and no one told me it's a common fungus.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
It's nothing to be scared about you haven't got some
disease from the Amazon jungle.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
It's a common skin fungi. Thank you, it's just brittany. Also,
you can't catch it, just so you know. So, like
I don't want anyone here worried that I'm like rubber
myself up on chairs or whatever. But like there's nothing
more humbling than walking into a doctor's office thinking you
have a pigmentation problem and being told you've got a fungus.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
But it is a pigmentation problem caused by a fungus.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
So the the reason I know is I also had
a fungus one time, but I have the opposite fungus.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
So have you seen the white patches? No, No, that's
what this is. But it reacts differently for people. So
you get a tanned fungus.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
So I have tans.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Mine's like an albino fucker. So it's called tinia versa cola.
It's basically like having athletes foot on your arm. That's
what I have right now. And I just want to say,
if you're out there dealing with a fungus, me too.
And you know what, I remember that episode of Seinfeld
when this is a rogue tangent. Seinfeld went into the
medicine cabinet of a girl that he was dating and
she had a fungal cream in there, and he was
like ill, and he broke up with her because she
had a fungal cream and it ended up being the

(06:33):
dog's fungal cream and it wasn't even hers anyway.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
Guess what, Laura Burn has a fungus on her arm?
Did they tell Hugh Jerry Seinfeld? Did they tell you
what to do? Because I can tell you what works
to cure that.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Yeah, apparently, because it's been there for so long, it's
a much more in depth treatment. Don't fucking come at
me with your dander shampoo. That's what I have used.
I've had that fungus multiple times. Mine comes from the sun.
Every time you get too much time in the sun,
it can rebring the fungal memories up from the skin gland.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
Wow, but anti dandre if anyone.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Because this is what you have, so to make yourself
feel better, Laura, Lots of people have that fungus and
there are people going to be listening right now being like,
that's what I.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
Have tiny versa collar. So basically, if you don't know
what it is.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
It's this like patch on your upper body, on your
arms or on your torso where the skin changes color.
So you might get like a patch of white or
you get a patch of brown.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
That's what it is. But mine has just like taken
over my arm on my back now. So you get the.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Anti dander of shampoo. This is doctor prescribed. This is
not something from TikTok.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
You get that.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
It's just anti dander of shampoo and you rub it
onto your arms, leave it on there for ten twenty
thirty minutes. So I used to live it on for
a couple of hours and then just wash it off.
That is the treatment. And most of the time, after
a while you have to be consistent, but your fungus
will disappear. My fungus hasn't been here for years. Can't
wait to keep you updated. It's really nice. I love
these Tuesday episodes.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
How we get to catch you up on all the
important things that are happening in our lives. And you know,
for me right now, it's fungus. Actually, do you know
what else happened in my life over the weekend? Please
don't tell me it's some other kind of rash or
what else.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
Happened. What other fun are you, rash, I have jockeage.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
So if I didn't fee humbled enough over the weekend
by finding out that I have a fungus all over
my body, Mali, Really, I mean, kids are so good
at just like bringing you back down to earth. Like
if you ever felt good about yourself, they have a kid,
speak to your four year old and ask them to
critique anything about you.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Not a critique, it just say look at me, what
do you see? What do you see? Just talk to
me about what you see on me? Oh, my body.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Recently, if you were listening to a Tuesday episode from
a couple of weeks ago, Keisha and I were talking
about cosmetic injections, cosmetic surgeries, and I was saying that
I have not had anything now, like I'm going into
my eleventh month of this year without having any botox
anything done to my face out of pure laziness. Can
I just add one thing, Yeah, that is really weird

(08:46):
to me because your skin looks better than ever. I
can honestly say that that's so nice. I needed that
bit of a confidence boost. Wow.

Speaker 5 (08:54):
Keisha's kis's very excitedly trying to get off the mic.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
How can you possibly say your skin looks better than ever?

Speaker 3 (08:59):
It's yeah, from the chin.

Speaker 6 (09:03):
I know you've been asking about my skin everytine, so
I just wanted to go through it with you.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Use this. It is for jockage. Okay, let me rephrase that.
Let me rephrase that. It's funny you feel like that, Laura,
because from the neck up, your skin looks amazing. Okay.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
So what happened was I was laying in bed with
Marley and we were having this cute little cuddle and
like every sort from kids, you're laying in bed with
them and they're like hold your face and you have
these really beautiful moments where you're like, you know, like
it's just this kind of intimacy that it's quite hard
to describe because it's like this, it's almost like a
romantic intimacy without any romance. Like they'll hold your face
and they'll look in your eyes, and like you have
these beautiful little moments of like soul connection with a

(09:40):
human like you love more than anything.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
And I feel similarly with Delilah, you would understand that
exact feeling.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
And so like this deep moment of connection with Marley
where she was like stroking my face and she was
like looking into my eyes and I was like, I
was having a moment.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
She clearly wasn't. And she said to me, Mummy.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
So yes, yes, sweet and she goes, your skin is
really ugly and I said, thank you, darling.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Why do you say that?

Speaker 2 (10:06):
And she said, you just have so many red bits
on it, like there is red and there is red
and there is red.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
Gone in the morning with no makeup on, laying in bed.
And I was like, okay, that, sweetheart. You know this,
Sometimes when you.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
See things about people, you don't have to tell them
because it hurts their feelings. So when you tell me
that you notice that my skin is red, that that
hurts my feelings.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
Mummy has an uneven skin tone.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
And I said, you don't have to tell people the
things that you see about them that you don't like,
and she said, yeah, but even if I don't tell you,
it's still the truth.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
Yeah, got it, bitch. That's so brutal. It was so brutal.
This was also for me.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
This was the reminder and it really took me back
to those moments in my relationships, like my ex relationships,
where you're laying in bed next to someone and you're thinking,
oh my god, we're so connected, like I love him,
He's gonna say I love you, And you think you
know what they're thinking.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
You fucking don't know what they're thinking. They're looking at
your face thinking you've got red splotches. That's what they're doing.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
So they are not sometimes sometimes Yeah, if they're not assholes,
if they're not saying I love you back in that moment,
and you think you're having a soul connection, trust me,
that is not what is happening.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
Okay, that's too close to home for some people in
the room. Keisha, Have we told toblerone that we love
him yet?

Speaker 4 (11:24):
No?

Speaker 7 (11:27):
It is getting it's getting more interesting as the days
go on.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
I don't think he'll ever say it now. I think
you've gone too far, Like, you can't ever say it now.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
I feel similarly. Do you know what's the worst moments?

Speaker 7 (11:39):
Actually, and this has stuck out to me, it's when
I've had Delilah like I borrowed her the other weekend.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
I love that. I say I borrowed her. I took
her for two days. You took her and didn't return her.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (11:48):
Yeah, So she jumps into bed and she loves a cuddle.
I'll be like cuddling her and she'll be next to him.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
And I'll be like, I love you, I love you.

Speaker 7 (11:56):
You are such a pretty girl, and tell Delilah seventeen
times how much I love her.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
And then it's just maybe that's when you need to
tail it. Maybe you need to look up then and
lock eyes and have a moment and then.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
Will him to say it. Make that silence so awkward
that he has to say it.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
I just want to like for anyone who doesn't know
what's happening right now, because they might be confused.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
Maybe you're new to the podcast and you don't know
the backstory.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Producer Keisha, she has been dating tolerone for probably seven
months star maybe eight months, very seriously, seriously, they're moving
in together.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
The guy's like that shit happening.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
The relationship is progressing in a way that one would
think the I love yous are coming.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
Well, you'd think the I love yous would have happened
for these conversations to have happened.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
And we've spoken about this a couple of times, so
I'm enjoying the constant updates because one day we're going
to talk about this and you're going to say I
said it or not. Maybe this will just be the
constant update forever. My only question is does Toblery never
listen to this?

Speaker 3 (12:49):
No? No, he never listens to the podcast. Okay, we
won't be offended.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
We love having a supportive partners.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
The opposite, I'm like, I don't want you to be
turned off.

Speaker 7 (12:57):
I don't want you to hear things that you're like
that's not it attractive to me, which I feel like
would happen if any of our partners listened to this podcast.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
You know it's fair.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Because Matt doesn't listen either, which is why I get
away with telling so many of the things that happen
our relationship because I'll give him the brief overview.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
I'll say like, oh, honey.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
I talked about this on the podcast, but I tell
like versions of it, and he goes, Okay, that's fine
because I think that so long as I've told him that,
I'm telling the story, but I tell a top line
version of it. If he actually heard it, he'd probably
be like a bit much information.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
Laura bit too.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
Hand listens to every episode, every single and the radio show.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
He listens to everything.

Speaker 7 (13:30):
See I feel differently about Matt because I think for
him that gives him a permission slip to.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
Talk about whatever he wants to talk about on his podcast. Yeah,
I don't listen to that either. That's my point.

Speaker 6 (13:39):
I shouldn't feel like, hey, honey, I kind of talked
about a little bit about this, like maybe it might
be a bit too much, and he's like, nah, it's
all good because he's storing it as like a as
I get out of jail free card if he needs
to use it.

Speaker 7 (13:50):
So I'm glad that tom la Rone doesn't listen to
the podcast, but it is getting more weird by the
day that we haven't told each other that I've never
thought of myself as a stubborn person before this particular situation.
I feel like now I'm just not saying it out
of stubbornness that no, you have to do it first, which.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
I think is silly.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
I think love shouldn't fall into the stubborn category. I
think that the woman can say they love them first,
just like I think the women can ask.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
Their partner our man or woman. I think it's fine
for a woman to take charge and if you know
you love him.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
Quality, well, No, I just don't see the point in
like if you want it, like we get such I'm
getting so deep, we get such limited time on this
earth and love, but it's true, love is such a
when you are in love, it is there is no
feeling like it and like you just the second you
say it and you express things differently because once it's
almost like a doorways opened up. But I can guarantee

(14:42):
the little things will change once you start to say
you love each other.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
And I think, why waste that time? Well, I think
now we've waited so long.

Speaker 7 (14:48):
We went on an international holiday two months into being together,
Like it's not like we slowed down on other things. Now,
I feel like there's been such a build up that
it kind of has to be a moment, Like I
don't know if it can just be sitting on the
couch patting the dog.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
You know, well, you're not getting married, You're just saying
I love you. But also I do think you're gonna
be laying in bed one day and you're gonna be like,
I love you, and he's gonna be like, your face
is red.

Speaker 8 (15:10):
I also get that fungus. Have you got a fungus
on your arm? Is the husha DARKI mushroomer, you're just
happy to see me. I'm buying you sam Anti Dandurf
this afternoon.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
As my final update on my egg freezing saga journey.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
I shouldn't call it a sarga, but I feel like
that's what it's been. It was a week ago. And
because it takes you longer to get over the hormone injections,
because I had double right. So some people a few
days you feel better. Some it lasts for two weeks.
My nurse took call me. She's like, look, it's likely
it's gonna last for two weeks plus because you've just.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
Got so much that you need to get rid of.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
I can't tell you how horny I am and how
hard my nipples are. Constantly I could cut glass with
these nipples. Like today, I had to push them in.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
So you could just wear a bra like everyone else. No,
because you can't wear a bra with this tops. You
tek a different top, you have a hundred No, why
would I do that? What's wrong with showing nipples? That
is been a nippleist to be fake. Kim cut Ashley
and brought out that nipple and my boobs are great,
like they don't need a bra in this top.

Speaker 7 (16:14):
You were the one who said that your nipples were
that hard that you insinuated it was a problem.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
No, I'm not just telling you it's not a problem.
But I could cut glass with them. I like that.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
You're like, my nipples are so hard, there is no
problem here. I just wanted to tell you totally.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
This, guys, is not a problem. This is not an
issue for me.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
I have very erec nipples and I like it, and
that is the end of the story road. But they
are so sensitive as well. That was where I was going.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
That's all. That's my update.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
People want to know the physiological side of what happens
with the egg freezing hormone injections.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
That was the number one thing you guys wanted to know.
So that is the very last.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Hopefully the nipples die down tomorrow and hopefully next week
it starts that my body starts to regulate.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
And I'm not a raging horn dog. That's it. That's
the update, is horny.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
That was great because the bloating's gone down, right, so
like everything is settled now because it is touch and
go there for a while, like I'd swallowed a volleyball.
But the only lasting effects I have now is the
nipples and the horniness. I feel like the horniness helps
the fertility though. I mean, it seems like an important factor.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yes, we'll make y'all. I don't know anyway, Well, let's
not get into the side.

Speaker 7 (17:16):
People do say that you get more horny around your
ovulation time. Yeah, I've never personally experienced, like, I haven't
tracked it, so I don't know, But apparently you can
get more horny around that, like your body just knows
that you're fertile.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
Laura, you seem like the real first yell one of
the group. And we all know how horny I am
all the time.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
You need to get horny, Guys, I was having a
conversation on the weekend.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
This is a bit rogue.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
I've got something else I want to talk to you about,
but this is like, let's just throw it in because
this could be a bit of a story arc if
it happens hear me out. This would be the first time,
this would be the first time that I've talked about this.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
And I don't know how I feel about it.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
Also, I think that there's going to be some I mean,
there'll be some people who'll be like, it's your body,
do what you want. But I think, after the conversations
we've had on the podcast before, that it might come
with some friction.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
Can I guess?

Speaker 2 (18:00):
I am considering breastleft No, damn it, foot reconstruction.

Speaker 4 (18:08):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
I'm like, I'm not getting botox anymore. But I'm considering
like a major plastic surgery, no job, No, I'm considering
getting a laba plasty.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
Everyone's just gone silent. Date that if you didn't want to.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
I know, I know, but I'm I had a conversation
with mad about it, and I had a conversation with
a girlfriend about it.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
Haven't had a conversation with the doctor. I've spoken to you.
We were completely unqualified.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
Things are just not the same after Lola, and not
in a way where I'm like, oh, esthetically, that's not
how I want it to be more and it's uncomfortable
for me now.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
I've had a friend who's had one.

Speaker 7 (18:41):
She found that whenever she would wear tight things like
exercise tights or even a G string, the friction and
the rocky the lips.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
It was quite painful for me. And this is too
much information, But when I had Lola. So I have
really bad circulation. And I got Varica's veins in the
backs of my legs when I had Lola. I also
got Barraka's veins somewhere else. When I was pregnant, which
happens in my labia, I had a varicus vein.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
I didn't even know that was it. I genuinely did
not know that was a thing. Yeah, it is the thing.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
And so I know that there'll be some pregnant women
who are like, I've had that too, and there'll be
other who are like, you fucking poor bitch.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
But trust me, it sucked.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
And so for me, it's like I still have a
vein on one side, and that's what I want to
go and get sorted, because that's why if you have
Arek's veins, you will know like it's itchy, it's uncomfortable,
the circulation is not good, and so that's affecting me,
and that's why I want to go and start this process.
All the time, always scrutching myself that in the thrush.
But no, but I've looked into it and the only

(19:38):
thing that's like my limiting reason for not doing it
right now. Actually there's two One is that it's like
a six week recovery, like you can't you can't have sex,
you can't do anything for six weeks, which I know.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
As a great excuse, I know, but.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
It's also a big consideration for your relationship as well.
Like I and I don't mean that I am not
going to do things to my body because it will
upset Matt by any means. But at the same time,
I'm like, that's a big amount of time for a
consideration when you're in a relationship.

Speaker 3 (20:01):
To six weeks is people go six.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Weeks all the time without sex, and I think to
make yourself more I mean, look at what he look
at my relationship, I go months without statement if it's
literal discomfort for you and it's going to completely change
your life absolutely well. And the other part of this
is I think that my reservations around one talking about
it and two going and actually doing anything about it
is because, as you guys know, we had an interview
we did it ages ago with Ellie who is from

(20:26):
Comfortable in My Skin, and we had big conversations around
like being accepting of all of your body, being accepting
of your labyer, that it's not abnormal to have an
audi like all of the very many different ways in
which people's labyers andvolvers look and how we should be
able to be okay and accepting of that. And I
just want to like preface it that this is not
at all from me being like, this is an aesthetic thing,

(20:47):
because I don't have an issue. I go, I'm great
downe there, Matt is not complaining. Everything is fantastic, but
I'm uncomfortable. So I think for me, I'm now looking
at what that looks like, and I would hate for
someone to judge me for that.

Speaker 7 (20:58):
Can I just say that really common concern about getting
laby or plasty is that obviously they're cutting parts where
you get a lot of pleasure and a lot of sensation.
And for my particular friend, she had a significant reduction
in the pleasure that she gets from sex. So not
trying to sway you in any way. Obviously I'm not
a doctor. You will have these conversations with your doctor.
But I think that's an important seesaw to balance when

(21:21):
you're like, I might be more comfortable, but also I
might enjoy sex less.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
Which is obviously going to affect your life a lot.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
But I think it also depends on how like I mean,
it depends on what your end result is, like, are
you wanting to have no LaBier like are you doing
it because you want to look like a Barbie doll?
Or are you doing it just because you want things
to be back to the way that you were pre pregnancy.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
For me, I don't want it all gone.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
I just want to be at the place that I
was pre pregnancy where it didn't bother me at all.
I want to, like you know where swimwear and not
feel like I'm packing sometimes.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (21:51):
I mean that I just want to feel like I
am not conscious of it, whereas like I am now
conscious of it and I wasn't five years ago, even
though I've never been barbied or vagina by any means.
I just want to be at a place where I
don't ever have to think about it. And that's how
I feel.

Speaker 7 (22:07):
I had a really humbling moment about this over the weekend.
I went to Reformer Plates and this particular studio has glass,
sorry has mirrors on the ceiling.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
I was wearing these burnt orange shorts and I was.

Speaker 4 (22:18):
Like, I have got a literal camel toe because it
literally looks burnt orange, and it was really you know,
when your legs are in the straps and you're looking
up and you're like, oh.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
That's I look like a giant camel. I need to adjust.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
But I think the only other thing, Laura, that you'd
need to consider, and I'm sure you're going to do that.
We're just nutting it out, but I think the only
thing you're going to consider is like make sure you're
completely done with kids, because obviously it's something that could
reoccur with another pregnancy and all these things that you're
going to think about and talk about with your doctor.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
I'm sure, but I'm I am here to hold your hand.
I will hold your LaBier through this process.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
Only party, we'll have a lip party. We all come
dressed with lipstick. I thought you're about to say we
we're going to come dress as giant lady, Like how
I would do that?

Speaker 2 (22:59):
But we could have a going away for your lay.
You might get a sponsor sponsored LaBier. Now a sponsored
laby PLoP swipe up, swipe up. This This has been
a real sharing episode from fungus to labyers.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
Guys, Wow, how serious do you feel about it? Like,
do you think you're gonna have a consult.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
Yeah, I'm feeling very serious about it. I floated the
idea with Matt. I haven't had a deep conversation with
him about it. But I don't like the fact that
I'm conscious of it. And I don't mean self conscious,
I mean physically conscious of it.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
I can feeling about it. I think about it.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
I notice the discomfort from time to time, and that
is annoying me. And I also just want to prefact
I feel like, even though I'm saying all this, I
need to then explain myself so that no one's going
to be writing articles like Laura's got ten centimeters long
labyers if I did also, fuck you, nothing wrong with me.
It's not that they're like outrageously long. It's not that
they can like.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
Roll them up. Yeah, they're not flapping in the wind.
It's none of that. It's just this this happen. I
just had this image of you going baragliding with your.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Laser like like a sugar like a literal sugar glider.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
Okay, I just I know we're laughing, we're laughing, we're laughing.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
But I do worry that people listen to this and
people who are experiencing. I don't want anyone to feel
like that there's something wrong with them, because this is
a consideration that I'm having. The Varica's vein situation is
a true discomfort, and if you have bad circulation, you
will know exactly what I'm talking about. It is something
that you're conscious of. It is something that gets itchy.
I have them on my ankles, and I get itchy
on my ankles.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
All the time.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
But think about that on your vulver and having to
scratch your vulver whilst you were like in the middle
of your day is not great.

Speaker 7 (24:33):
You know, with Varka's veins, you can have saline pushed
through them to like unblock the block.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Yeah, you can also have like a lasering and everything
else done. But I mean, these are the many things
to talk through with a healthcare professional and not my
My co hosts.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
Oh, we're not doing no, but I'll just plan the party. Okay.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
I love what you're saying, but I also don't think
we need to reiterate that much. And I know you're
you're worried that people are gonna want to come for you,
but we have always said on this podcast, do what
you want with your body, but just make sure you
look at all the pros and cons, make sure it's
you're doing it for the right reasons, and make sure
it's for safety. Like, no one can come for you
because you are uncomfortable and want to change something on
your body like and if they do, they're not our people.

(25:12):
Also if they do go through this process.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
And know, we spent a long time talking about something
that I'm not one hundred percent on yet, but if
I do go through this process, I will tell you.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
I will tell you exactly what it's lack.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
So if you're thinking about it, or you're you know,
considering it, or something that you're self conscious about, because
I think that this is the type of thing that
no one talks about because everyone's everyone's so shameful talking
about it because they would hate for anyone to think
that their volver is less than perfect. But guess what
everyone is, especially if you've vagually birthed two children, had
two fucking episiotomies, let me tell you, shit is not

(25:40):
where it used to be.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
We probably just don't need like a vlog of this one.
Don't you don't want to update it before?

Speaker 2 (25:46):
Mate? We've just done step by step of BRIT's fertility,
like fucking hell, come on, step by step of my volver.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
No, I want before and after this. I want to transition.
We can put them on the socials.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
A transition, you know how you go up to the
camera and hit tap the camera with your volver and
then you come back and.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
It's gone trending news on TikTok snipti. Okay.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
So yesterday, walking back from the beach, there was something
that sparked Matt and Meyer's attention and I wanted to talk.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
About it today with you right here, right now.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
So there was these a four pieces of paper like
flyers that had been stuck underneath the windscreen wipers of
all the cars. I'm talking like every car in the
car park, all the way up the main street, all
the way into our street where we live. There was
like these flyers stuck on every single car. And Matt said, oh, like,
go on, can you go and get one of those?
I want to see what that says. Because the very
first thing that you could see from like across the

(26:36):
street was hey, bitch. Now it looked like it had
been handwritten, but obviously you could see that it was
on every car, so it hadn't been handwritten because that's
a lot of work. This is what the letter said, Hey, bitch,
hope you had fun with my boyfriend last night.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
If you want your clothes back, you're gonna.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Have to hire them on insert business name here from
Sarah Kiss Kiss, Jake's girlfriend. Ah, I saw see but
also well played.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
If there's been some cheating going on.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
Well, if there's been cheating, I think that's like, what
a get back? What do you mean this is a
marketing ploi if it is not a marketing ployee? Okay, right,
Because I also saw this going viral online. I didn't
see it in NRL because I was away, but I
have seen this letter going bonkers online. Well when I
saw it, I mean I didn't think about it as
content for the podcast, but then Keisha chucked it in

(27:28):
our content group chat that we have and it made
me think, Okay, maybe this is something that people are
talking about. And then I realized that it actually hits
some like it's kind of gone viral across social media
and if you haven't seen it, you might in the
next couple of days. So basically, what this letter is,
it's a marketing like gorilla marketing and a flyer drop
from this high address company which they'd put all around

(27:48):
Bondaia Beach and all around sort of this high populated area.
And when I read it, I had this visceral reaction
to the actual content of the letter, and I think
it was because like the hey bitch, it just I
felt really gritty and it felt really like a negative
brand messaging that as a small business owner myself, I
was like, that is ballsy, but I don't know whether

(28:09):
it lands. And I say this because yes, it lands
in terms of getting people talking about it.

Speaker 3 (28:13):
Hello, Ding ding Ding? Were he talking about it right now? Exactly?

Speaker 2 (28:15):
But is it the type of brand association I would
want for my small business in terms of one associating
yourself with cheating and two calling people bitches?

Speaker 3 (28:23):
Kind of feels yuck. It's funny.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
I'm embarrassed to say that, Like I read this and
just thought someone to cheat. It didn't click on me
that this was marketing at the start.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
Read it once and I was like, that's funny. I
had this whole image in my head that a girl
had walked in, sprung another chick with a boyfriend, taken
a close run out of the door, put them, sold
them or whatever. I had this whole image of how
that went down, and I was like, well, that's pretty
funny if the girl knew what she was doing. Now
that we have unpacked that it is a market employee,
I think it's brilliant.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
I think it is brilliant. I have seen this everywhere.
I have looked at the site. I know other people
would have looked at the site. I think that this
has gotten them so much business. They're not actually calling
anyone a bitch because.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
It's a fictional character and it's made everyone want to
go and look. It has dropped a breadcrumb that is
so intriguing to see.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
Is this real? Is there someone's clothes? What is that site?
I think it's brilliant.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
It's done like look at us talking about it, but
totally and I do agree with you. I do think
that it absolutely has pushed traffic towards their website. And
I think as a small business these days, you have
to be very creative to get cut through, especially because
it costs so much money to advertise across social media.
It costs so much money to advertise anywhere in a
normal sort of like out of home setting. So this
is taking your business offline, taking your business off social media,

(29:38):
and getting out of home marketing, but for no cost,
which is incredibly, incredibly tactful of them. I think the
thing that I didn't like about it, and the reason
why I was like, oh, it makes me feel icky,
is because of this association of cheating and Keisha, you
nailed it when we were unpacking Keisha and I went
way too deep on this, but we were unpacking it,
and Keisha sorld have said that as women who talk

(29:59):
about cheating all the time, we talk about relationships all
the time. We unpack the nuance of relationships. The fact
that this letter goes after the female in that and
it's like, hey, bitch, you slept with my boyfriend instead
of And I know that I'm getting way too deep
on a marketing letter. I get it, but it's kind
of like the trope of ten years ago. It's the
way in which we would speak about women ten years ago,
and it feels very backwards.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
I think.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
So I'm kind of like, yes, it is a great
marketing tactic, but I feel like it landed a little
bit short in terms of the positioning of a brand
and the messaging of a brand.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
But yes, okay, I totally get that. I totally get
that it takes two to ten go. But the way
I saw this was I did not think that at all.
I saw this as like, Okay, there's two constants in
this situation.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
That's the boyfriend and the actual girlfriend, and then there's
one variable.

Speaker 3 (30:46):
Which is the person that came in and cheated.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
She doesn't know that person that variable, So this is
her response to someone she doesn't know that's done the
wrong thing. Right, She's going to I imagine this fictional relationship.
She's going to be dealing with her boyfriend at home
because she knows him, she lives with him.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
That's her safe space. I'm sure he has his consequences too,
but I think that this. I don't want to normalize
this response if you find out that your partner's cheating,
I don't want to say that.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
But I looked at this, I can promise you. I
looked at this and.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
I thought, fucking lol, someone got sprung and now they
have to go buy you know, doing the dirty. Now
they've got to go buy their clothes back. I thought
it was funny. I literally just thought it was funny.
I was like what an innocent way, because I think
it is innocent. I think that there's a lot of
people that get very vicious and malicious when it comes
to cheating situations and affairs in what they do to people,
like public humiliation.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
And things like that.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
But I think if you've just like I got your
clothes because you left them there after you fucked my boyfriend,
go buy them back.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
Totally I agree.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
But I think the thing is is in terms of cheating,
And we know this because we've had many conversations about
it on the podcast, Like we have spoken about cheating
for the last four and a half years. It is
the one topic that gets people the most fired up
anytime Britta and I have ever had a conversation about cheating,
where we've said it's grey. Relationships can improve after cheating.
You know, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's the end

(32:03):
of a relationship.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
There are many variables around cheating.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
We have always received negative feedback and negative reviews from
people who see cheating as black and white, even though
we don't necessarily see cheating as black and white. So
it is the most polarizing thing that I think you
could kind of lean into as a brand and as
a marketing tactic. I guess the other thing of this
is when I think about if I was to find
out that Matt was cheating on me, and I'm just

(32:27):
gonna like, I'm going deep and I'm unpacking.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
Right, Yeah, you wouldn't write a letter. I wouldn't run it.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
But I also wouldn't be calling the girl a bitch.
I wouldn't and my initial response would be like, try
to seek information from her. But I wouldn't be like, hey, bitch,
like you did this. It just feels it feels so dirty,
it feels so.

Speaker 7 (32:44):
Bratty, and it feels to me like the most basic
form of retaliation to a cheating Interesting, though, do you
think that it would have had as much cut through
if it hadn't have used Like I'm talking about this
as a marketing technique because I was actually sent this
by two of my friends yesterday who didn't think it
was a marketing technique, and I saw it on so
many people's Instagram stories who thought it was a legitimate thing,

(33:06):
and it was me who said to them, guys, I
think this could be a marketing thing because it's got
like the website on there, you know, like and I
hadn't heard of this website before and now I have,
so tick tick tick.

Speaker 3 (33:16):
Do you think it would have.

Speaker 7 (33:17):
Had as much of a visceral response if they hadn't
have used hay bit.

Speaker 3 (33:22):
No, No, absolutely not.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
And That's why I'm like, I do think it has
I absolutely think it's effective.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
I think we're all talking about it.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
The fact that we are on what is you know,
I was gonna say national, but I guess people overseas
are going to listen to this podcast.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
We're talking about it.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
With the reach that we have about a flyer that
was being dropped in BONDI it is very, very, very effective.
I guess for me, the only thing that I saw
as a negative is that brand association. And I say
that as someone who owns a small business, where I'm like,
you care so much about the storytelling of your brand.
You care so much about the things that your brand
is associated with.

Speaker 7 (33:55):
But people care as well, Like people now want to
know about your environmental impact. They want to know about
all of these things that are behind the brand. We
don't just want to look at something and go that's pretty,
I'm gonna buy it. We now want to know about
the political views of the owner like, we're totally so
for me, I'm like, this is a ballsy move as
a brand when people are going to associate you with something.

(34:15):
But then in saying that, look, I mean there's loads
of very successful, huge designer brands that have always flirted
with that fine line of controversial. And I mean, like, ye,
Balenciaga flirted too close with the line obviously, you know,
but they danced with that line for so long, and
the flirting with something that is controversial is such a

(34:36):
hugely effective technique of getting people on board.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
And to be fair, I have looked at this website now,
like the flyer from this website.

Speaker 3 (34:44):
And the close are good. I would get them from there.
I went on there and I was like, let's see
what this is about. Then I was like, cute, it.

Speaker 5 (34:49):
Might hire that kidding, and that's what I'm probably going
to get something from there, Like that's it's so cute.
I genuinely think it's brilliant. The only thing I think
I'm mad at is that I did think of this.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
I wish somehow we were like someone cheated on find
out who.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
On Life on cut and put it on every on
It's like it's brilliant marketing.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
The word bitch. Okay, I get that. It's a shock value,
but that's what marketing is. And you said it before, Laura.
The world is saturated with everything right now, especially marketing,
especially online marketing. Your scroll, it's the same stuff that
was seeing from every single person.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Trust me, I know Tony made Black Friday Friday. Yeah yeah,
but great marketing, Matt's marketing brilliant. You have to do
things that are different to get cut through exactly.

Speaker 3 (35:28):
And that's my point for this.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
That is why I'm like, Okay, I get it, and
it didn't hurt anyone because it's it's not real, it's
fictional and at the end of the day, it stopped
people in their tracks. They did offline marketing for a
quarter of the price and got a ridiculous amount.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
Of course, the price this was like ten cents to
print that and deliver it. That's cost money, one hundred percent.
I reckon for them to do this, they have so
they had just been doing It's further, in my point,
it cost them nothing. It cost them nothing.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
This would have been the cheapest, the cheapest form of
marketing that I do agree with you, Britain.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
It has been so effective. It does make you think, like,
if you're a.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
Brand and you are in the hustle of spending money
on content, spending money on influencers, spending money on social
media ads, what can you do that lies outside of
what is the normal?

Speaker 3 (36:14):
What can you do?

Speaker 2 (36:15):
Maybe it doesn't have to be that flirts be controversial,
but what can you do that is a experiment that
is different.

Speaker 7 (36:21):
It also makes me think though, and I mean, this
could be way too deep for how simple this is.
When we constantly have to have these different, more shock
value kind of approaches to content or approaches to marketing,
I guess to me, I go, do we end up
getting into a position where it's just like everything is
so rogue now there are no rules, like this is mental?

(36:42):
But I actually brought up in the car when we
were driving here to work today. There's that BRA brand.
I've mentioned them on the podcast before. It's called Nala.
I'm obsessed with them. It's a small business down in
Melbourne and they had a bit of controversy with Instagram
and TikTok. I think sorry if I'm not quoting this
exactly correctly, but essentially some of them the Bras are
mesh and so the photos that they were using, they're.

Speaker 3 (37:03):
Like, they're actual bras.

Speaker 7 (37:05):
And so they were posting photos on Instagram and you
could see nipples through oh god, not the propple exactly.
And so that goes against Instagram's nudity guidelines because women's
nipples are the devil, you know, men's nipples of fine.
But whatever, So they kept on getting posts taken down,
and they were getting you know that hash shadow band.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
Yes, you can get into trouble for it.

Speaker 7 (37:23):
So to protest that, they bought this humongous inflatable boob
with a nipple and they inflated it and floated it down.

Speaker 3 (37:31):
The Yarrow River. Brilliant. I thought it was so brilliant.
It was in protest too, like nipples of vine. Do
you know what? I like this because I mean, like
it's a giant tit floating down the river. People are
going to talk about it, but yeah, do you see
that tits? Yeah? You giant.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
And the thing that you said, Kisha is like, well,
if everyone's going to do things that are so outside
the box, does that then that mean that no one's
ever going to be shocked because things are like people
expect this type of guerrilla marketing. What I have to
say on that is that no, I do not think
that there will ever become a time where the majority
of brands are doing things that lie that far outside
or are that shocking. And the reason for that is

(38:05):
because mostly brands are safe, and mostly marketing tactics follow
what they see other brands doing. Most small businesses are reactionaal.
They'll look at something else that and other business has
done and then they'll go, Okay, well I'll try that,
Or they put their money into quote unquote safe ways
of marketing their business because we don't have this indispensable
disposable cash. A lot of small especially small businesses, I

(38:28):
mean big businesses have the ability to be a little
bit more playful with their marketing budgets. But when you
are trying to be everything and do everything in your business,
you don't have the creative freedom necessarily to go and
do these sorts of things. So I guess from an
initiative perspective, I do think that this is great.

Speaker 7 (38:43):
I have a question for you both, and I don't
even know what my answer to this is. Do you
think we give more? That's kind of clever and like
a bit rogue and gorilla marketing. Because it's small business.
Do you think we'd feel the same if it was
a huge corporation.

Speaker 2 (38:56):
One percent, because in terms of it being a small business,
it's creative and it's it's outside a box. Whereas like
for a big company, like if it was McDonald's or
someone who was doing letterbox drops like that, we would
be like, this is what your creative team came up with.
This is where you are with your millions of dollars
like doing this weirdly enough, it maybe be as successful.

Speaker 3 (39:14):
Maybe it wouldn't. Maybe we would be like, oh, that's
so cringe.

Speaker 7 (39:17):
McDonald's are trying to be a bit spicy and a
bit you know, edgy.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
I think it also fits the brand.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
It's a dress higher company, so I think it fits
really well. Like I think, yeah, I took your clothes
from you, you fuck. You took your clothes off and
fucked my boyfriend, so I picked them up, and like,
you know, in terms of it.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
Works for the story.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
The story is someone took their clothes off to have
sex to get back at you, I'm going to sell
your clothes on this company. I think the story arc
there makes sense. Yeah, Like McDonald's are not going to
be like.

Speaker 3 (39:43):
You're cheated, come get a big mac. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
Well, I know that we've been speaking about this for
a while, but I've just jumped onto their Instagram for
an update, and the brand, who has posted this letter
on every single car is resharing all of the comments
across social media. There are so many people who have
reshed shared the picture of the letter in their car.
People are being like, poor Jake, I want to know
who Sarah is. There has been so many of them,

(40:07):
and people are saying this is the most clever marketing.

Speaker 3 (40:09):
Some people are going to have this. Did this land?
Didn't this land?

Speaker 2 (40:12):
And that was my initial reaction, But in terms of
the amount of free eyeballs that they have garnered to
their site, so many people are saying this is the
best marketing ploy I've ever seen. I literally fell for
it until I saw it was on everyone's car. I
am sensing unrest in the hood and people are like
videoing other people's reactions to this, which, you know what
from a small business to come up with this, then

(40:32):
I kind of ever.

Speaker 3 (40:32):
Changed my mind. I think that they've done very well,
which was my exact.

Speaker 1 (40:35):
Initial response, which is like you have paid nothing offline
marketing to get a ridiculous amount of online marketing.

Speaker 3 (40:42):
I cannot genuinely fault this. I think it's great.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
I yeah, and I guess if people's reaction to this
is that they're taking it as the joke that it
was intended, then it's no harm done.

Speaker 3 (40:50):
We'll do it. Let's do it, let's let's proply it.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
Yeah, we say that's more controversial. Hey we had a
threesome and now we're pregnant.

Speaker 7 (40:57):
I read say that last week. We could print that
review that we once got. It was three stars, mind
you that said I thought this podcast was uncircumcised men
very disappointed.

Speaker 3 (41:08):
Oh that could be good promotion. Yeah, that's true. What
it's about.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
Who do you think is going to listen to that?
Do you think it'll be uncircumcised men or everyone else?

Speaker 3 (41:15):
Net gain is positive exactly.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
Okay, well it is time for accidentally unfiltered Now this
one it's not so much funny as.

Speaker 3 (41:25):
What it is awkward. Okay, Oh, here we go.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
I started dating my boyfriend six years ago, and after
a little while I thought it was perfect that his
mum was a doctor, so I could go to someone
I knew in the hopes of it being less awkward
for me, but I was absolutely wrong. Initially I was
going to see her for minor things like, you know,
vaccines or having a cold, and during this time I
was on the pill. Eventually I needed to get a

(41:52):
new script made, and I didn't think twice about.

Speaker 3 (41:54):
Going to her and asking for a renewal.

Speaker 2 (41:56):
I went in and I asked to get it renewed,
to which she began to ask a lot of personal questions,
such as, are you using protection when you have sex?
Obviously she's implying with her son, and then she asked,
was I sexually active before her son? What's six years ago?
Wee no, they had only started dating. This happened six
years ago, to which I replied yes. She then asked

(42:17):
me if I'd ever had an SDI check, to which
I replied no. She then demanded that I had an
SDI check and said it was routine and a checkup
that was needed and every GP would ask for it.
I feel like the gauge of this was not that
it was just asked for. It was demanded by her
mother that she had an STI check. I don't know
why this was ever a good idea. She hands me

(42:38):
a script with the words chlamydia and STD screening on
it and for me to peanut cut and tells me
that I must get it back to her as soon
as possible. She then goes on to say, of course
I never gave it to her because it would mean
that she would be the first person to find out
if I didn't have an SDI. I immediately stopped going
to her, And yes, I have been checked since.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
The poor girl.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
But then it turns out, okay, there's a little bit
more to this. The boyfriend's mum asked her like she did,
like a follow up, just like a courtesy.

Speaker 3 (43:04):
Are you ever going to get me back that? How's
that SDI check?

Speaker 1 (43:07):
Going?

Speaker 3 (43:07):
For clap? No, you can't say how's the clap? It's
just a colloquialism for colmydia? Is that what we call it?

Speaker 8 (43:14):
Though?

Speaker 2 (43:15):
Is that?

Speaker 5 (43:17):
No?

Speaker 7 (43:17):
I found out the clap is actually colloquial for gonorrhea.
I've always I always thought it was because they both
started with S. Where did I chlymydia is really hard
to spell.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
Also, we don't need to cutify an STI just like,
don't get the pill, get.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
It dark because it's easy to be like, yeah, I
got the clap, it's a very easily treatable one, but
I mean fucking awkward.

Speaker 3 (43:37):
I get the GPS. They don't bog bill. It can
be very expensive, but I.

Speaker 7 (43:40):
Feel like that's a cost I would justify.

Speaker 2 (43:44):
When we interviewed Michael Hing at like one of the
live shows, he said something which I so deeply related to.

Speaker 3 (43:49):
He's like, you have two doctors.

Speaker 2 (43:50):
You have one doctor for the everyday stuff, and then
you have one doctor for the stuff that you don't
want the everyday stuff to know about. And that is
not your boyfriend's mum. That's how I feel about the case.
While we're on this, I did have one that I
was going to read. I was like, oh, save it
for another week. But it's actually similar in terms of
it's not that oh it is, it's just uncomfortable. I
felt really uncomfortable when I read it. I'm so incredibly
lucky to be twenty two weeks pregnant today, woohoo. Last

(44:12):
week I found some free online anti natal classes to attend,
as I have so much to learn about preparing birth
and raising a baby. I joined the first class this
evening via zoom and I thought, how great that this
is free, what a great similar community.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
I was on my phone and I was talking to
the Lovely Midwife. There were a bunch of people that
had also joined the class. She was giving some great
information with diagrams, but every second word was um, so
much so that it actually drove me crazy, and I
struggled listening. I'm not being dramatic. I swear I'm not exaggerating.
I've never heard someone say I'm more in my life.

Speaker 2 (44:46):
So annoying to notice something. So if you look here
example the whole time.

Speaker 3 (44:51):
Now.

Speaker 1 (44:51):
I listen to podcasts every day and I run large
online training workshops for my work. I know as a
presenter that you need to mix up your filler words
for better and gage. Anyhow, we're ten minutes in and
I'm actually struggling so hard with this constant use of
the word um. So I saw a chat box that
I thought was anonymous.

Speaker 3 (45:10):
Stop it.

Speaker 1 (45:15):
I have since learned that to be anonymous, you need
to click be anonymous. I decided this might be the
right time to suggest, and I don't know why, because
this poor lady was doing this fabulous call for free,
and I'm so ashamed, but I said content's great infographics
are Okay, I can't stand how much you are using
the word m Can you please stop or I will

(45:36):
have to leave the chat. She thought it was anonymous feedback, okay,
valuable feed and then I'm not okay, no, it's and
then the lady. Two minutes later the midwife read out,
very offended and grumpy. Thanks, Chloe, I just got the
comment to use, so stop using the word.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
Um.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
I've been doing this for forty years, Chloe, and no
one has ever told me that it was a problem,
so I will continue to use it.

Speaker 3 (45:58):
I am deceased.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
Can I say, though, just because no one's ever told
you it's a problem doesn't mean it's not.

Speaker 3 (46:03):
I edit out all the arms just.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
Arms.

Speaker 3 (46:06):
You guys don't, but guests do.

Speaker 2 (46:08):
Oh yeah, we don't wear great with arms. Now, I say,
like a lot though, I edit that out. It drives
me crazy every time I listen back to an episode
and I'm like like like like black, like like like
like I'm delete de Lily delead. Oh, Chloe, how awkward
like every you've pressed Oh, I just can't.

Speaker 1 (46:21):
I'm just thinking about that moment it pops up with
your name. You can't take it back.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
It's like when you accidentally send the wrong text to someone,
which now you can delete within two minutes, but.

Speaker 3 (46:30):
That moment that you press send and you're like, I
have deep progress.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
I had a really, really, really beige version of this
on the weekend, like a minor, minor version of this.
So recently we got peloton bikes, right, and I'm using
it like I'm in the peloton world. Now.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
It's great. I do my ED twenty minutes a nighttime,
but I'm very unfit.

Speaker 2 (46:46):
I've not exercised since Dancing with the Stars, like, not
a single This is going to blow some people's minds,
Like I haven't even been for a walk with the
intention of it being exercised since Dancing with the Stars.

Speaker 3 (46:56):
Yeah, but you're growing a fungus, Yeah, you mean a
lot out also the labia. Yeah, I'm growing a laba
and a fungus. Fuck you're growing.

Speaker 2 (47:05):
But seriously, I've been so bad, so this has been
a really big thing for me. And I did my
like twenty minute workout was my first one, and then
I went and did my second twenty minute workout and
I was really proud because it was two days in
a row. But I didn't realize that I had my
entire profile on public and at lists like what You've achieved,
and it was like these fucking losers just done twenty minutes.
Everybody else who was in the run was or in

(47:27):
the cycle was like private, but I was there with
my like twenty.

Speaker 3 (47:31):
Minutes lay list.

Speaker 7 (47:33):
Dude, this happens on Apple watches and Strava. People can
ask to.

Speaker 3 (47:36):
Be friends with you.

Speaker 1 (47:37):
No, I don't.

Speaker 3 (47:37):
Why would I.

Speaker 7 (47:38):
Ever want you to see how slowly I run a
call like, I don't need your judgment.

Speaker 3 (47:42):
I'm judging myself enough. I don't need for people to
be able to see my exercise habits.

Speaker 2 (47:46):
Yeah, like David in the UK doesn't need to know
that I cycled for twenty minutes.

Speaker 3 (47:50):
Stick off, David, I mean.

Speaker 1 (47:51):
Laura, I'm going to go against the grain here. I
think twenty minutes on the pelotony's a flex thank you.
I'm only clock in twenty minutes.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
Does it count how many times you get to pull? No,
I'm really into it.

Speaker 1 (48:01):
I can't pause because if you can pause, but once
you go and you go on your feed as strapped
in on the it's like a proper cycle. I feel
like a boss. I feel like I'm like a proper
cycle person. But it's like once the motion, the forward
motion is going, there's no stopping but.

Speaker 3 (48:13):
Motion in the ocean. No see. I need this, I
need this.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
I need to have something that keeps me so accountable
that it straps me and otherwise, if there's ever an
excuse to stop, I will stop.

Speaker 7 (48:23):
I'm properly convinced that the only people who share their
health data are the people at like the crems of
La Chreme. They know they're fucking killing it. It's a flex.

Speaker 3 (48:30):
It's not David's accountable.

Speaker 7 (48:33):
It's the people who run four minute kilometers and they
just want to show people.

Speaker 3 (48:37):
But that's fine. I don't think you need to be
sharing your palot on workouts with everyone. Put on private,
put on private. I did. It took me a while
to figure out how to though.

Speaker 2 (48:46):
All right, guys, you know that we never finish a
Tuesday episode without our suck and our sweet, our highlight
and our low light of the week. Pretty Huckley, what
is your sucky duck apart from running over a bird?

Speaker 3 (48:57):
That's it, my suck killed bird. Can you say the
same suck? You can? And you've done this for four years.

Speaker 2 (49:01):
When that is the biggest worst thing of my week,
I'm one hundred percent doubling down on it, like I
killed an animal and it left me traumatized and it's
my suck.

Speaker 3 (49:09):
Yep. My sweet was just that I went and saw
my family.

Speaker 1 (49:11):
I haven't seen all my family in Asia, so I
had just a really wholesome family weekend and caught up
with some old friends, like just a weekend that I
don't really do very often. I feel like I'm all
just work, work, work, alone, alone, alone, Like I just
chill my own all the time. And that's not a complaint,
but like that's my wind down, you know. And then
I really thought, Okay, I've got to stop putting my
solitude and my love of solitude before actually catching up
with the people that matter, which is actually perfect timing

(49:33):
for the episode that we have tomorrow, which is with
Dodtor Ali Walker. Now, I've had a Ali Walker on the
podcast before if that name rings a bearl and we
spoke to her about Connection because she's a Connection specialist.

Speaker 2 (49:42):
And you guys loved her as much as we did.
So we've got her back and we're talking about exactly
that solitude loneliness in particular young people tied to this
time of year because it's a hard time of year
coming into the Christmas holidays. Well, we really felt that
it was the perfect time to kind of re explore
this topic, Dear of Loneliness. And you know, during a
time of year where everyone is told to be happy

(50:04):
because it's Christmas and there's all these amazing things to
look forward to. But if there is a gap between
how you're feeling and what you're supposed to be feeling
i E.

Speaker 3 (50:11):
Jolly, i E.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
Christmas, then it can make you feel even more lonely,
and it can exacerbate those feelings of the things you
don't have in your life, especially and I know we've
spoken about it in past years, but especially for people
who are single, who want to be in relationships and
they're going to family gatherings and everyone seems to be
in a relationship, but can really highlight those moments in
life as well.

Speaker 3 (50:31):
So that is coming out tomorrow. It is a great episode.

Speaker 2 (50:34):
And then for My Suck and Sweet for the Week,
My Suck for the Week, So Marley's become really obsessed
with this baby doll, like obsessed with this baby doll,
she carries it everywhere.

Speaker 3 (50:42):
She's a mum.

Speaker 2 (50:43):
She's not very good mum because she's not particularly gentle
with the baby doll. But it is an uncomfortably realistic
looking newborn baby doll, Like it looks like a when
a very fresh newborn comes out. It's got that like
really squished newborn babyface. Anyway, my suck is that she
now insists on taking it everywhere. That includes to the beach.
So she took it to the beach with her yesterday

(51:04):
and she dragged this baby doll around the kid's pool
by its foot. She threw it into the ocean. The
amount of people who stopped and looked at us like
we were just well, there was so many double takes,
so many double takes, but you can't get it off her,
and it just seems so inappropriate to have it in
that space. So this is my juggle, is trying to

(51:25):
explain to Mali while that that's not necessarily the best
thing to do.

Speaker 3 (51:28):
It's not a big suck, but it is very very
very awkward.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
Yeah, I think you only do you need to explain
that one if it's that realistic and you're at a
kiddy pool with other kids and kids. I think you
need to explain that one, which we tried, but then
it ended up in her having a full Stage five
meltdown at the Bondeau public pools and I was like,
I just can't deal with this right now.

Speaker 3 (51:45):
It's not the hill I'm going to die on today.

Speaker 2 (51:47):
Anyway, what you got to do is when they're asleep,
you take the toy and you hide it, put it
in the bin, and that's how you get rid of things.
And then you say that the toy fairy came and
took it away. Say I think I'm doing some damage
to my children.

Speaker 3 (52:01):
Not sure.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
Anyway, My sweet for the week is you know how
I talked about my laptop last week and how it
was absolutely eft and it went swimming in my handbag
and it was all over. And then I bought myself
a new laptop. Guess what it came Bachelor. The rice
worked and if you've ever been curious rice, Matt put
it in a box full of rice for two days,

(52:22):
and on the third day it rose again.

Speaker 3 (52:25):
Did he put the rice over the keyboards and stuff completely?

Speaker 2 (52:27):
He opened it and he completely encased it in rice
and it fully dried out. And now it's working, and
I just feel like Rice is the savior for everything.
If you're life, anything in your life is going wrong,
I think we just pop it in Rice from now on.
I don't know about that break up Rice, Rice, Yeah, absolutely,
you got a cold. Go sit in some Rice having
a mental breakdown, Go sit in some Rice. It's gonna
make everything better. Why do you think it's been such

(52:49):
a core part of Asian culture for so long?

Speaker 3 (52:51):
They know what they're doing. Please, Rice, do not listen
to Laura's health advice. Broke down. Wait wait, wait, you
hurt yourself?

Speaker 2 (52:57):
Rice, rest Ice compression elevation see literally faces ever literally
eat us us.

Speaker 3 (53:03):
You don't eat Rice anyway. Thank you guys for listening
