Speaker 3: I have tried to invite Mitch Jury over to my
Speaker 3: house for dinner three times now, three cancelations. I know
Speaker 3: you don't want to hang out with my children.
Speaker 2: I love it's Matt, really, he talks too much.
Speaker 4: I would just like to point out that you've never
Speaker 4: invited me for dinner.
Speaker 3: You you were invited, and you have.
Speaker 4: Invited me three times, not once in the four years
Speaker 4: of our friendship.
Speaker 5: Have you invited me dinner?
Speaker 2: And then we see that's the most frantic invite you've
Speaker 2: ever got, Laura Burne, inviting you to dinner is like
Speaker 2: Harry Potter getting a letter from Hogwarts. It's like, would
Speaker 2: you like to come? Also, the dog has three legs?
Speaker 2: The kids have handfoot and mouth, so don't go near them.
Speaker 5: That's entirely that was a real life recording.
Speaker 3: My invitation sounds so enticing even I would like to
Speaker 3: go to that dinner party.
Speaker 5: How actually wouldn't know.
Speaker 2: So we're picking bones left right and send it because
Speaker 2: we have Brooke Bony on the show today and collectively

Speaker 4: You guys writing some predicaments, your deeps, darkest, weirdest questions.
Speaker 6: We do our best to answer them. We have a
Speaker 6: really good one today.
Speaker 7: Hey, briand Lauren Mitch.
Speaker 2: So I have a question.
Speaker 7: Am I being unreasonable wanting two weeks with no visitors
Speaker 7: after my baby is born? So I'm pregnant and like,
Speaker 7: do you to give birth next month? It's our first baby,
Speaker 7: so you know, my partner and I, we just wanted
Speaker 7: two weeks to ourselves after we have the baby, just
Speaker 7: him and I and the baby, just to get used
Speaker 7: to everything, you know, how everything is. Both our families
Speaker 7: live overseas, so they're flying in for the big moment.
Speaker 7: I just mentioned, you know, we'll after give us two
Speaker 7: weeks at least before you come over, and then after
Speaker 7: that you can come.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 7: My mum was totally fine with this, and my parents
Speaker 7: were fine, but my mother in law absolutely lost it,
Speaker 7: say things like we just wanted to pop by and
Speaker 7: see the baby, like it's going to be our grandchild
Speaker 7: and how are we going to see them? And just
Speaker 7: you know, you're so spoilt and selfish, what about us?
Speaker 7: And anyway, we didn't know what to do. Well, I
Speaker 7: didn't know what to do now because of this request,
Speaker 7: which I don't think is much to ask. They have
Speaker 7: translated as if we're basically told them to f off
Speaker 7: and never come over. The questions to you? You know,
Speaker 7: am I unreasonable in wanting two weeks with my family
Speaker 7: before everybody comes over?
Speaker 3: I have a few questions. I mean when I first
Speaker 3: saw this, I was like, Nah, take you two weeks,
Speaker 3: it's fine. But wait, are they flying in from overseas
Speaker 3: and then expected to just wait around for two weeks
Speaker 3: to see the baby?
Speaker 7: Like?
Speaker 3: Why are they coming early if they can't see the kid?
Speaker 6: That's correct?
Speaker 3: Have they booked tickets already?
Speaker 5: Correct?
Speaker 3: Ah? Nah, that's a bit crap, I think. I mean,
Speaker 3: I'm and I'm usually on the other side of this.
Speaker 3: I'm like, if you have a baby and you want
Speaker 3: to spend time by yourself, like if you want to
Speaker 3: if you want a month just to kind of get
Speaker 3: all down in your little nestled town with you and
Speaker 3: your new bub and you don't want visitors, it's absolutely
Speaker 3: your prerogative to say no, I don't want visitors. But
Speaker 3: if you've told them the date, if you've allowed them
Speaker 3: to book flights, if they've organized their life to come
Speaker 3: and be here, why didn't you make that clear earlier on?
Speaker 3: You can't have people come and fly in from overseas
Speaker 3: and then say to them, no, sorry, I don't want
Speaker 3: to see you.
Speaker 5: I actually agree. I think you're so entitled.
Speaker 4: When you have a baby, you can set whatever rules
Speaker 4: and boundaries you absolutely want. You've gone through it. It's
Speaker 4: your child, you're raising it however you want. If you
Speaker 4: don't want anyone to come that's not vaccinated, if you
Speaker 4: want two weeks, three weeks, four weeks to yourself, you're.
Speaker 3: Entitled to that.
Speaker 5: But these people have been a lot of money, and
Speaker 5: if flying a really long distance, I don't think you
Speaker 5: can say thanks for coming, stay in another hotel and
Speaker 5: I'll see you next year.
Speaker 2: Chris, I think it's up to the parents to then
Speaker 2: provide entertainment. So buy zoo tickets, or maybe send them
Speaker 2: to the movies, or perhaps you know, a nice meal,
Speaker 2: shout them at dinner. It's on you.
Speaker 3: No, they're not coming for an Aussie holiday, They're coming
Speaker 3: because you're having a baby.
Speaker 2: The baby entertainment. I want to see the baby.
Speaker 5: I agree.
Speaker 4: I would if I had flown to the other side
Speaker 4: of the world and then someone's like for a birth
Speaker 4: psych you can't.
Speaker 5: See it, be like wts.
Speaker 3: So it's so hard because I do want to I mean,
Speaker 3: and I feel like the mother in me wants to say,
Speaker 3: you know, whatever you need as a new mom, you
Speaker 3: take priority, which you do do, but I mean, I
Speaker 3: say this, and then even in my own experience, it
Speaker 3: was kind of the complete opposite. So Matt forgot to
Speaker 3: tell me, or he just didn't mention it, or somehow
Speaker 3: it never came up that he had invited his mom
Speaker 3: to be in the room when I gave birth. And
Speaker 3: then he said to me, Hey, baby, you don't mind.
Speaker 3: Mum's going to be in the room when you give birth.
Speaker 6: And I was like, as if it's like mum's coming
Speaker 6: over for lunch.
Speaker 3: Ellie's coming over, She's going to be in the room.
Speaker 3: And he was like, she's my support person. And I
Speaker 3: was like, wait, did you have you already asked your mom?
Speaker 3: And he was like, yeah, I asked her. And he's like,
Speaker 3: and she's so excited. And I was like, but you
Speaker 3: haven't asked me yet. Anyway, that's wild. Ellie was in
Speaker 3: the room and it was actually really beautiful and I'm
Speaker 3: so happy that she was there, but at the time
Speaker 3: I kind of wished I got asked first.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's one thing that you can't just do without asking.
Speaker 6: It's inviting people into your whiteberd.
Speaker 3: Matt didn't understand the reason why that might be problematic,
Speaker 3: and he was like, but it's my baby as well.
Speaker 4: Watermelon, it's my vaginasay, it is me on display, but
Speaker 4: that's okay.
Speaker 3: Ellie has seen more of me than she probably has
Speaker 3: of her own son.
Speaker 2: Well, listen, if you want advice like that, the slide
Speaker 2: into the DMS, the pickup, advice like that.
Speaker 3: If you want some terrible advice, please send.
Speaker 2: You off for the pickup, send us a d M.

Speaker 2: update on the anthrax poisoning that I was targeted with
Speaker 2: the attack.
Speaker 3: I will is the update that it wasn't anthrax.
Speaker 2: And no, I'm not going to tell you that I
Speaker 2: was targeted in an anthrax attack and I was worried
Speaker 2: for my life and I had to call the poisons
Speaker 2: hotline and I will tell you what they told me. Next. Also,
Speaker 2: if you want to go to the UK to the

Speaker 2: I've got an update of the anthrax that I was
Speaker 2: sent in the mail, Hea to the radio station.
Speaker 6: What do you mean you were sent anthrap?
Speaker 2: I've shown you, guys this. This is a true story,
Speaker 2: and I haven't spoken about it on air, and I'll
Speaker 2: get rid of the silly music because it was frightening.
Speaker 2: A package was sent to the radio station here and
Speaker 2: it was addressed to me, and it had razor blades
Speaker 2: in it, a note from a murder mystery book in
Speaker 2: it with different letters circled that spelled out murder, and
Speaker 2: then there was a white powder substance that went all
Speaker 2: over my hands when I opened the package. It was
Speaker 2: actually this, rightning, this was true.
Speaker 3: I remember you receiving this package, and at the time
Speaker 3: we were all a little bit worried.
Speaker 4: Where did the anthrax come into this package?
Speaker 2: Listen, I've sent a lot of movies, and I've known
Speaker 2: that if something opens and there's white powder on it,
Speaker 2: and if it's a male, if it's set in the mail,
Speaker 2: it's most likely anthrax. And I touched it on my
Speaker 2: hand and then all that day my hand became swollen
Speaker 2: and I was dizzy, and then my throat was getting itchy.
Speaker 3: But anthrax fans were not swollen, but also a bacteria,
Speaker 3: not a white powder.
Speaker 5: It was probably icy sugar. He sent you a box
Speaker 5: of cereal. It was probably to put THEE sugar on
Speaker 5: the serial.
Speaker 2: I'm here to report that they did testing and it
Speaker 2: was in fact icing sugar.
Speaker 3: Oh. I have never even I have never known anybody
Speaker 3: in my life to overreact about possibly every sort of
Speaker 3: ailment as much as you do.
Speaker 6: I worked in an emergency department for thirteen years. For
Speaker 6: those playing at home, Mitch knows this.
Speaker 4: I can't tell you the number of calls I have
Speaker 4: gotten at ten, eleven, twelve, one at night and it's
Speaker 4: Mitch on the other line saying, do I need to
Speaker 4: go to hospital?
Speaker 6: Telling me his symptoms.
Speaker 4: They're always wild symptoms, and you say they're so wild
Speaker 4: that I'm like, I have to legally.
Speaker 5: Say yes, go to the hospital.
Speaker 3: But it's never anything.
Speaker 2: I once went to the emergency department and I had
Speaker 2: one AirPod and it was Brittany just giving me advice
Speaker 2: and I was going, I need an ECG said you're
Speaker 2: in here cause give got gout. I went still, I
Speaker 2: need an AC exactly.
Speaker 4: I was like talking through and through the one AirPod
Speaker 4: and he was telling them what to say.
Speaker 5: But you never have anything.
Speaker 3: Okay, I have a question for you, mitches. How many
Speaker 3: times have you been to hospital this year?
Speaker 2: Three times?
Speaker 5: You know what the best part was the month?
Speaker 4: The best part was a couple of weeks ago, Mitch,
Speaker 4: when we went out for a drink and you're like.
Speaker 8: I have to go home.
Speaker 5: I think I have alcohol poisoning. You don't even dream.
Speaker 2: No, no, I know. It was lemon in the drink
Speaker 2: and I didn't realize I had a lemon in it,

Speaker 8: A lovely Thursday afternoon.
Speaker 3: If you're asking me, yes.
Speaker 2: Now, you know what I love about you, Brooke is
Speaker 2: that you don't have a classic journalist voice, which I
Speaker 2: love because sometimes you watch you like the nightly news,
Speaker 2: and these journalists are brilliant at their craft. They're fantastic,
Speaker 2: but they've got the voice of yes, John, I'm here,
Speaker 2: the tsunami ravage the town. You come on, you go.
Speaker 2: That's Brook Bony and I know it's her. I'm getting
Speaker 2: the real Brook. I can hear it, Yeah, in her voice.

Speaker 3: Longer, harder, Brook Bonnie.
Speaker 2: I've got a bone to pick with you, miss bone.
Speaker 2: My pick's going to be burned, and I'm going to
Speaker 2: bone the pick right now. Something's happened Brook between you
Speaker 2: and I. We've known each other for a while and
Speaker 2: I do think we're quite good friends. However, Brook, I
Speaker 2: don't know if you're aware of this. I mean, actually
Speaker 2: you'd have to be considering it's an act that you
Speaker 2: have done.
Speaker 8: This is like days of our life.
Speaker 5: It's fired.
Speaker 2: I'm not a dramatic person, Brook Bonnie. However, eighteen months ago.
Speaker 2: Cast your mind back to eighteen months ago. I went
Speaker 2: to send Brook Bonney a message on Instagram and I check,
Speaker 2: I go, she hasn't replied to me. That's odd. For
Speaker 2: days weeks no reply from my good pal. So I thought,
Speaker 2: Brook Barney, which is a little check what's going on
Speaker 2: in Brooks followers a tap to find that what I
Speaker 2: thought was my good dear friend Brooke Bonie.
Speaker 1: Has unfollowed me on instag grand followed you followed? Now, yeah,
Speaker 1: you've unfollowed because you're because you're such a famous person.
Speaker 2: One of her people have told her none of.
Speaker 8: Her people must have been an accidents.
Speaker 2: There's no way.
Speaker 8: Okay, do you know it's true? Guys, this is bigger
Speaker 8: than us. What it does mean is that we need
Speaker 8: to get the police involved. Obviously they've stolen my phone.
Speaker 5: Mitch, how do you actually are you checking who's unfollowing?
Speaker 2: You don't flip this around on me.
Speaker 3: I was a victim, thank you.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Question because you're a journalist, she's weaseling her way out. Yeah,
Speaker 2: this is what she's doing.
Speaker 3: Mitch says that he just went on there to check.
Speaker 3: I reckon, you've got one of those unfollowed apps, you know,
Speaker 3: exactly following you.
Speaker 2: Maybe at one point I did have the app, but
Speaker 2: I got a new phone and the app no longer
Speaker 2: with me.
Speaker 8: But then, couldn't you have noticed when it happened?
Speaker 2: We're being told at the time it's been a leisure
Speaker 2: to legion
