Speaker 1: Yeah, Laura, come on.
Speaker 2: Ella Wednesday afternoons.
Speaker 3: Hello, love Wednesdays. There's like probably my favorite day of
Speaker 3: the week. I know I should love a Friday more,
Speaker 3: Mitch and Laura because you got the weekend, but Wednesday
Speaker 3: just feels like you're almost there.
Speaker 4: You get that pick me up.
Speaker 5: Vibe, then you're down the hill on the other side
Speaker 5: that it's a tough two days on the way to
Speaker 5: the weekend.
Speaker 2: Laura, Brittany Hockley came into the studio. She's wearing a
Speaker 2: turtleneck and we all go, what, She's got the nicest
Speaker 2: neck in all of Australian radio today.
Speaker 6: Ha ha, that's not hard. Have you seen your neck whip?
Speaker 6: Oh wow, that's how the show's going to start. Okay, Well,
Speaker 6: like we said, only downhill from here. It's actually very exciting, guys.
Speaker 6: I did get botox.
Speaker 3: In my skull, my neck and my traps yesterday because
Speaker 3: I'm a twenty year plus headache migrant sufferer, like really
Speaker 3: really debilitating, really bad. So it took me twenty years,
Speaker 3: but I finally went and got a referral for a neurologist.
Speaker 4: And part of like a migraine treatment.
Speaker 3: Is they put these botox into your skull, like like
Speaker 3: not into your bone, but the back of your head,
Speaker 3: neck and traps, and like maybe I'm gonna have a
Speaker 3: really skinny neck as a result.
Speaker 4: But the idea is it stops micraining.
Speaker 5: I can't wait for the day that Britt walks in
Speaker 5: here and her neck's like an aw dentate spaghetti.
Speaker 7: Totally.
Speaker 4: I pray for this, like a little skinny noodlestick.
Speaker 2: It's got a personal assistant that just has to hold
Speaker 2: her head while she does show.
Speaker 4: That's what I thought. I was like, am I gonna
Speaker 4: be out it? What happens here? Do I hold my
Speaker 4: neck up? Or does it just topple off your neck?
Speaker 7: Was great?
Speaker 4: So Taylor Swift, guys, we're all going this weekend. It's Friday.
Speaker 4: I'm so excited. I'm so deep in the countdown now, totally,
Speaker 4: we're counting down these seconds.
Speaker 3: But I don't know if he saw a couple of
Speaker 3: days ago, there were those girls going viral online because
Speaker 3: they were driving two friends driving to a Taylor Swift concert,
Speaker 3: and on the back, instead of like painting just married
Speaker 3: on the car, they painted like going to Taylor Swift,
Speaker 3: need petrol money, And then a link to a gofund me.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we spoke about it on Monday. Yeah, so
Speaker 3: it's gone bonkers online and I've been dying to know
Speaker 3: if anyone actually paid the money. So I've tracked them down.
Speaker 3: I found them. We're getting them on after the break.
Speaker 3: We've been talking.
Speaker 4: About and having a bit of a laugh.
Speaker 3: But talking about these two women that went viral last
Speaker 3: week for doing the fifteen hundred klumeter trek the drive
Speaker 3: to Taylor Swift and on the back of their car
Speaker 3: they put a pay id. They put two broke chicks,
Speaker 3: we need money for petrol, and they literally linked like
Speaker 3: a pay id so people could pay their petrol to
Speaker 3: get to Taylor's.
Speaker 7: Direct to their bank account.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yes, more terrible when we undercided, well, we had some
Speaker 3: opinions earlier in the week on Monday.
Speaker 4: No one's making you pay it. Just have a laugh
Speaker 4: and let them drive by. I think it's not that.
Speaker 5: I think it's the audacity to ask and people see
Speaker 5: that and they're like, you want me to pay for
Speaker 5: you to go to Taylor Swift when there's so many
Speaker 5: other things I could be putting my money towards. It
Speaker 5: just is it's so outrageous to even ask. I think
Speaker 5: they were trying to get attention and just have a
Speaker 5: something for TikTok. Now, I have been losing sleep Mitch
Speaker 5: and Laura because I just need to know the million
Speaker 5: dollar question on did anyone actually pay them money?
Speaker 4: So I've tracked them down high and low.
Speaker 3: I searched Australia and I have Gemma and Emily on
Speaker 3: the phone right now.
Speaker 4: Hey, lady girls, welcome to.
Speaker 7: The pick up.
Speaker 4: Oh hello, Hi guys.
Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, we got to know.
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm still I'm so undecided. Like I said, it's
Speaker 5: either genius or it's terrible. How much money did you make?
Speaker 8: We decided we're not going to tell anyone.
Speaker 5: Where we had to say more than a thousand dollars,
Speaker 5: more than two hundred dollars.
Speaker 3: More than a thousand ball push by God, so I
Speaker 3: guess that it would be over one thousand dollars.
Speaker 4: So did you cover all your fees?
Speaker 8: Yes?
Speaker 1: We did.
Speaker 8: We did, and we also paid some forwards.
Speaker 4: So that's very good, did you.
Speaker 7: Taylor? She doesn't need the cash.
Speaker 1: Sure.
Speaker 9: We actually gave it back to some of the people
Speaker 9: that had shared the picture around on Facebook. So one
Speaker 9: of the girls who shared it to a group that
Speaker 9: got a lot of news and went viral. We actually
Speaker 9: sent her some money.
Speaker 3: Well, guys, I actually promoted you and said I thought
Speaker 3: it was good, and I don't think i've received any Brittany.
Speaker 7: So you said you covered your cost?
Speaker 2: How much did it cost you all up to travel
Speaker 2: all the way from where you were to see Taylor?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 9: Man, I don't think we're in the right frame of
Speaker 9: mine to be able to do budget. We're just like,
Speaker 9: we have to get to Taylor. How much are we
Speaker 9: spending on full field the tank we have to get there?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Jimmer, I want to know who came up with
Speaker 5: this idea in the first place.
Speaker 9: Oh, it was definitely a team effort. We were getting
Speaker 9: ready to go, We packed the car, loaded the car,
Speaker 9: and it was sort of a last minute should we
Speaker 9: do this for the last Like it would it be
Speaker 9: really funny if we could actually beat some swifties on
Speaker 9: the way and like have some cool combos in the drive.
Speaker 9: So we were like, oh, yeah, quick, let's right chopping up.
Speaker 9: Literally before we left it about three in the morning,
Speaker 9: we'd written it on the back of the car.
Speaker 3: Look, I thought it was fun right because I'm like,
Speaker 3: no one has to pay, you're not forcing it if
Speaker 3: they do brilliant. But Emily, I know there's been a
Speaker 3: bit of trolling. What do you reckon overall? Was it
Speaker 3: more positive or more trolls?
Speaker 1: Look some all of.
Speaker 8: The response starts had and that I've seen, it's been fantastic.
Speaker 8: There's only a few percent of people that have been negative.
Speaker 8: But look, even some of the articles and things I've
Speaker 8: had a bit of a laugh at. They've got a
Speaker 8: photo of me in a car from Christmas Plant with
Speaker 8: Christmas presents in the back of the car.
Speaker 4: Look, laugh, I love this.
Speaker 5: It's like they're making out that you've taken all this
Speaker 5: money and just done a cash grab, bought all these things.
Speaker 7: You said.
Speaker 8: Yeah, look, and that can happen on social media and
Speaker 8: we're not bothered at always sort of you know, you know,
Speaker 8: two broke girls wanted to or to a tail Swift concert.
Speaker 8: Jem I only got the tickets in the middle of
Speaker 8: tonight on the Monday morning, so only like less than
Speaker 8: a week before, and she called me. She's like, we
Speaker 8: got to tell us what.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, someone said a dollar. It was like, girls
Speaker 9: I broke to But it's been a cruel summer and
Speaker 9: some of the other My favorite donations were thirteen cents
Speaker 9: or thirteen dollars of thirtey cents because obviously we know
Speaker 9: the tail switce number is thirteen.
Speaker 2: Wait, so these are the pay id comments when people
Speaker 2: were transferring money.
Speaker 9: Yeah, absolutely, but they're like, you.
Speaker 3: Look out for that blank space, don't leave any blanks
Speaker 3: bases in the paid I mean, this is.
Speaker 5: How you know it's true swifties and that's what's all about, right,
Speaker 5: Swifty supporting Swifty So funny.
Speaker 9: And I think the best part was when we had
Speaker 9: people driving past us on the road on the way
Speaker 9: down that was like waving at us and whatnot. And
Speaker 9: at one point we took an exit and a car
Speaker 9: followed us off the highway onto this exit and four
Speaker 9: girls but out of their car. They were like, we
Speaker 9: had to follow you off because we wanted to stay hi,
Speaker 9: and we said.
Speaker 7: You would go on so huge. It's like not even
Speaker 7: a leader of petrol girls.
Speaker 4: Thanks totally.
Speaker 5: Let's do find friendship bracelets. It's all about pay IDs now,
Speaker 5: So funny. Jim Att, how was the concert?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 7: Was it everything that you wanted it to be? And more?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 9: Everything and more? I cannot believe it if you've got
Speaker 9: tickets and you're going to the Sydney shows, Oh my goodness,
Speaker 9: it is fantastic. It was like, honestly once in a
Speaker 9: lifetime experience doing her errors tour, all of the old music,
Speaker 9: all of the new music. It was so good, absolutely incredible.
Speaker 4: Moral of the stories. Don't as don't get right.
Speaker 5: This weekend there's going to be fifty cars driving around
Speaker 5: that's going to have the same paid well their own paids,
Speaker 5: but everyone's going to be doing the same thing.
Speaker 7: Now, go fund me is out. You need your kidney,
Speaker 7: put it on the back.
Speaker 2: You MAT's a bushy and you'll get that kidney in emergency.
Speaker 7: Well, jem I Emily loved to meet you girls.
Speaker 5: All right, Brittan Mitch, I have a big question mark
Speaker 5: for you guys, after something that I experienced yesterday, and
Speaker 5: I don't know whether it's okay or not.
Speaker 4: I don't know, and I need your help.
Speaker 8: All right.
Speaker 5: So yesterday I was on a flight and I was
Speaker 5: traveling by myself, and I got on the plane and
Speaker 5: you know where you're walking up and you see your
Speaker 5: seat and then you realize that the seat next door
Speaker 5: is still vacant. There was a guy on the aisle seat.
Speaker 5: I had the window seat, and then there was one
Speaker 5: seat between.
Speaker 7: A good feeling because you go, I can relax.
Speaker 4: I'm celebrating. Yeah, I get to sit there. I get
Speaker 4: to relax.
Speaker 5: So the guy who's sitting there, he's reading a book
Speaker 5: and he's quite in the book as I'm approaching, and
Speaker 5: I had to kind of, you know, nudge and be like, oh,
Speaker 5: excuse me, that's my seat. Firstly, he wasn't going to
Speaker 5: get up. He tried to just shuffle his legs to
Speaker 5: the side.
Speaker 4: I hate that. And I ended up and let someone in.
Speaker 5: I'm not sticking my backside in your face, mate, Can
Speaker 5: you please stand up?
Speaker 6: No, no, no.
Speaker 5: I kind of just stood there until he got up.
Speaker 5: So he got up with his book in his hand,
Speaker 5: and he got up, and I went in. I sat
Speaker 5: down next to the window. And now I wasn't really
Speaker 5: paying too much attention to this guy. He was dressed
Speaker 5: nicely because wearing a suit. It was an early morning
Speaker 5: flight on a weekday, so I'm guessing he was going
Speaker 5: for a work trip or something, and he was reading
Speaker 5: this book pretty much the whole time. But he was
Speaker 5: kind of angled his body so it was angled away
Speaker 5: from me, and all I could see was the front
Speaker 5: cover of the book. He gets up and goes to
Speaker 5: the bathroom and he puts the book down between us
Speaker 5: on the spare seat, open on the page that he
Speaker 5: was just reading, with a card right in the middle.
Speaker 5: It's a little bookmark, and I kind of just glanced
Speaker 5: down and I was like, what does that say? And
Speaker 5: then I read a little bit more and I was like, surely,
Speaker 5: I'm wait. And then as I was reading, I realized
Speaker 5: he was reading hard core romance fantasy. I don't want
Speaker 5: to say the word. It was like eroica. It was
Speaker 5: more erotic than a Wiels and Boons. It was descriptiveos.
Speaker 3: She goes Wills and booms and like Mills and boo,
Speaker 3: very famous author. It was about hot breadth and big
Speaker 3: members and stuff and what was happening to the.
Speaker 7: Purpose was on the cover? Was it a woman on
Speaker 7: a balcony?
Speaker 4: No, it was The cover actually didn't have much.
Speaker 5: It just had like what looked like a bit of
Speaker 5: an illustration, and then it was I don't remember the
Speaker 5: name of it, arty stuff. It looked a little bit yeah,
Speaker 5: like alternate ARTSI okay, So what's my predicament is? Is
Speaker 5: it not inappropriate to be reading. And I'm not This
Speaker 5: was not just like a raunchy part of a book.
Speaker 5: This was obviously a very sex heavy book. Is it
Speaker 5: not inappropriate to be reading that in a public space
Speaker 5: where there's kids and other people around and then leaving
Speaker 5: it open for me to see?
Speaker 1: Laura, It didn't.
Speaker 3: He didn't put it there to get your juices flowing.
Speaker 3: He didn't put it there so hoping that you would
Speaker 3: look down him come back.
Speaker 5: He was Obviously if you're reading that, you can't read
Speaker 5: that without being around.
Speaker 4: I think so he's sitting out.
Speaker 3: Laura has a sex and relationship podcast.
Speaker 4: Yes, but you okay if you're going to re aroused
Speaker 4: when you do that podcast, because we.
Speaker 5: No, because we have a sex relationships podcast, but we
Speaker 5: talk about it, like about the ins and outs of it.
Speaker 4: It's not like you're sitting there now. You're not doing dirty.
Speaker 5: Talk with me, like this was a very descriptive sexual
Speaker 5: act that I was reading. You only read this stuff
Speaker 5: for a round.
Speaker 7: You chose to read. You chose to read this.
Speaker 4: The problem is the problems not reading.
Speaker 5: The problem is you reading His stuffs open on the
Speaker 5: seat next to.
Speaker 3: So if someone like their lunch books open. Did you
Speaker 3: just go and eat their sandwich? But I do look
Speaker 3: inside the words of Taylor Swift the problem.
Speaker 4: You're the problem.
Speaker 2: Can I ask, do you read out loud like you're
Speaker 2: a toddler learning to read? Because unless you were sitting
Speaker 2: there reading this erotica out loud to the plane to hear, that's.
Speaker 7: Not a problem.
Speaker 4: I disagree. Okay, where's the line?
Speaker 5: Then? Can he take that book and read it at
Speaker 5: the park around kids?
Speaker 1: But you are.
Speaker 7: Motherhood has knocked you around. Man at a.
Speaker 4: Stretch, Laura. The only issue here is what if he
Speaker 4: was sitting next to a child?
Speaker 3: Can you read?
Speaker 7: Children can't read?
Speaker 4: It's like fifty Shades of Gray like my grand reads
Speaker 4: that everyone reads that.
Speaker 7: This is not a problem.
Speaker 5: It wasn't fifty Shades of Gray. It was I've read
Speaker 5: that book. That book you can read in public. This
Speaker 5: was a book that I think you probably should read
Speaker 5: in public.
Speaker 7: Do you genuinely have a problem though genuinely.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I just think maybe it's not an appropriate book to
Speaker 5: read in a public space.
Speaker 3: But you also made a point of saying that the
Speaker 3: front cover was non descripts. There was nothing on there,
Speaker 3: So if there was a sexy position on there.
Speaker 4: Then it's a problem. But it's it's you read history
Speaker 4: and reiterate one thing.
Speaker 5: He was reading what was an extremely heavy page.
Speaker 4: Extremely heavy.
Speaker 5: I'm not going to sound it out for you, and
Speaker 5: then he left it open and went to the bathroom.
Speaker 5: Let's read between the lines, people, okay. When he came
Speaker 5: back from the bathroom, he looked relieved. I was, wow, yes, sir,
Speaker 5: you've got a potty mouth. You're not well all right? Anyway,
Speaker 5: I guess it's fine. Read your wrote novels wherever you like,
Speaker 5: us your jet stuff.
Speaker 7: For well, I mean, okay, let's ask the country.
Speaker 2: Is it okay to read your own book that you
Speaker 2: purchased a plane with a ticket, that you purchased erotica?
Speaker 4: It's that's okay to.
Speaker 7: Read that saying erotica and pointed.
Speaker 4: I think she just genuinely likes to say the word.
Speaker 7: I agree, erotika.
Speaker 4: Anyway, let us know, are you team Laura or team Bread.
Speaker 7: Or the rest of the world?
Speaker 5: Next on the pickup, everyone, I am feeling attacked by
Speaker 5: Mitch and by Bret because so yesterday this is what happened.
Speaker 5: I was on a plane and the man sitting next
Speaker 5: to me, was reading very hardcore erotica novels novel okay,
Speaker 5: and I Laura discovered this because he went to the
Speaker 5: bathroom and he left it open on the chair next
Speaker 5: to me, which I think was strategic. But everyone's telling
Speaker 5: me I'm insane, and you read his eye leave it open, okay?
Speaker 5: But also my question was this because he.
Speaker 4: Didn't want to lose his bad books.
Speaker 7: Maybe there was two and it flapped open.
Speaker 5: It's a book he was at a really climactic moment.
Speaker 5: One might say, no, he left it there. It was open,
Speaker 5: and it made me ask the quest, which I've been
Speaker 5: told I'm wrong. Is it okay to read hardcore and
Speaker 5: erotica when you're in a public space or is that
Speaker 5: something that you should keep at home and private.
Speaker 7: Britt, You and I think this is well.
Speaker 3: I think unless he's got it on a podium with
Speaker 3: a megaphony three in his book out loud.
Speaker 2: I agree, unless he's watching fifty Shades on his iPad,
Speaker 2: and I think he's cool. We want to pull the
Speaker 2: nation thirteen one six five, Tina, Is this man in
Speaker 2: the wrong? Can you read what you want on a plane?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 9: Look, I think if it's just words and he's reading
Speaker 9: it to himself, then why not?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I'm with you, Tina.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean it's not like there's pictures or anything.
Speaker 5: Maybe he has a vivid imagination though. That's all you need,
Speaker 5: isn't it.
Speaker 9: What's wrong that you're deliberately looking over.
Speaker 4: I wasn't trying to read it.
Speaker 5: He left the book open on the seat next to me,
Speaker 5: facing me as if you're not going to look down?
Speaker 7: Where did you want him to put it?
Speaker 4: Close it?
Speaker 7: Kat Hi, you think it's okay? Can you read it
Speaker 7: on a plane?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 9: I don't think there's anything wrong with it reading it?
Speaker 9: You're around by it?
Speaker 1: Come on, thank you?
Speaker 4: I agree.
Speaker 3: Do you think the problem is Do you think there's
Speaker 3: a problem with Laura reading other people's private things?
Speaker 9: I think she could mind her own business a little.
Speaker 9: It's not he's just reading. It's not hurting anyone.
Speaker 7: I agree. Hold on, look Will and Wood. Can we
Speaker 7: bring them in produce a grace?
Speaker 4: Let's get Will enough with the pylon. I reckon.
Speaker 7: I'd love to know if they think maybe they've read.
Speaker 4: I want to know if they could read it and
Speaker 4: not be aroused. That's the real question. You can ask
Speaker 4: them yourself.
Speaker 7: I love that you've got a man on the show
Speaker 7: with you. Didn't ask Kim real Man because.
Speaker 4: I believe I don't believe you love a man's opinion, let's.
Speaker 1: Get it.
Speaker 4: I just don't trust you. After you're yelling at me on.
Speaker 7: Radio, they're coming boys getting hello.
Speaker 4: Okay, No, no, I'm feeling attacked. Yes, so you are
Speaker 4: on air, beautiful. Sorry that you started a little bit early.
Speaker 5: But I have been I've been told that I'm wrong,
Speaker 5: and I would like some more opinions on Okay. Yesterday
Speaker 5: I was on a plane and the man sitting next
Speaker 5: to me was reading hardcore erotic novels like how hard
Speaker 5: call the book. I don't know what the name was.
Speaker 5: All I saw was he was reading something, and then
Speaker 5: he went to the bathroom. He put the book down
Speaker 5: literally on the seat that was next to me, so
Speaker 5: it was facing me and open, so Laura read and
Speaker 5: so I looked down and I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 5: does that say what I think it says? And then
Speaker 5: I started reading it. My opinion is that for something
Speaker 5: that hardcore, it's not appropriate to read it in a
Speaker 5: public place, and I have been told I'm very very wrong, sir.
Speaker 4: I don't want to know what you think.
Speaker 7: She wanted a man's perspective, so she.
Speaker 4: I got in more men, more men.
Speaker 5: Yeah right, all right, guys, what do you think here?
Speaker 5: Can you just be sitting around reading that stuff willy.
Speaker 10: Nilly as someone who loves erotic fictions. I'm sorry, Laura,
Speaker 10: But if there's no pictures and no set, and if
Speaker 10: I control my grunting and groaning, like I would fully
Speaker 10: appreciate you to have a guar at me. If I
Speaker 10: was like getting a bit guttural with enjoyment of my
Speaker 10: erotic fiction, then one hundred percent.
Speaker 7: You know you're there with the kids.
Speaker 4: I get it that's offensive.
Speaker 7: But if the bloke's just they're enjoying a bit of you.
Speaker 5: Know, eight am in the morning on a virgin flights,
Speaker 5: there's never a bad time to dip your tawel into
Speaker 5: a little bit of erotic fiction.
Speaker 4: I agree.
Speaker 7: Will's shockingly quiet. What's your fault?
Speaker 1: Will?
Speaker 7: I'm just a little bit worried about what he's doing
Speaker 7: in the bathroom.
Speaker 4: Thank you, that was my.
Speaker 7: He's just read page seventy eight. He's gone, he's felt
Speaker 7: some turbulence.
Speaker 2: He thought.
Speaker 10: If he's gone to the bathroom, he's done the right.
Speaker 11: Things more people like him.
Speaker 3: He's just taking a Wii on his flight. I think
Speaker 3: the problem here, Correct me if I'm wrong. Is Laura
Speaker 3: looking over soone's shoulder reading the book and being offended
Speaker 3: by what he is reading.
Speaker 5: Okay, I think you guys are taking it too far. Firstly,
Speaker 5: but you do not know what he was doing in
Speaker 5: that bathroom and leave. I did not look over anyone's shoulder.
Speaker 5: He opened it and presented it to me.
Speaker 7: Well, boys, we better go. We're gonna get out of here.
Speaker 1: Hey, guys,
