Speaker 1: Life Uncut acknowledges the traditional custodians of country whose lands
Speaker 1: were never seated. We pay our respects to their elders
Speaker 1: past and present.
Speaker 2: Always was, always will be Aboriginal Land. This episode was
Speaker 2: recorded on de Rug Wallamuta Land. Hi eyes, and welcome
Speaker 2: back to another episode of Life Uncut.
Speaker 3: I'm Laura.
Speaker 2: It's almost like you forgot what to say then, I'm Laura.
Speaker 2: I'm Britney. I have been living in hell for the
Speaker 2: last three days. Wow, we just jump and right, I'm
Speaker 2: in hell. That's where my life is now. It's literally
Speaker 2: about to be Christmas holidays. Hohe fucking hell. Hell no.
Speaker 2: I we decided, we made it the big decision to
Speaker 2: wean Lola off dummies.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I thought you're gonna say I'm another
Speaker 3: kid or something.
Speaker 2: Oh god, I can't know. This has been the weekend
Speaker 2: that's traumatized me from ever wanting to have any more children.
Speaker 1: Oh, this is the weekend where you like, if there
Speaker 1: was any inkling of maybe we could do this again,
Speaker 1: it's been taken away.
Speaker 2: It's been ripped from the rubs. The rub you have rubbed,
Speaker 2: he will will not be rubbing. The rug has been.
Speaker 3: Ripped from underneath you.
Speaker 2: So I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago. Lola,
Speaker 2: she's almost three, and she's still on the dummy, like
Speaker 2: obsessed with the dummy. Also still has a warm bottle
Speaker 2: of water at nighttime, which she calls my baby bottle.
Speaker 2: And she's three in February.
Speaker 1: So we say that thirty six months, No, thirty four months.
Speaker 1: We only talk in months, remembering to our kids, like seven.
Speaker 2: I don't do I did stand in maths at school
Speaker 2: and then I dropped out, So I mean, it's not
Speaker 2: my foretastes. Okay, she's almost three. The dummy has been
Speaker 2: well expired. I think they say that you should wan
Speaker 2: them off within the first year, and then by the
Speaker 2: time they're three, it really fucks their teeth up. But
Speaker 2: you know what, it's a coping mechanism for her and
Speaker 2: for me, and it's gotten me through some hard time.
Speaker 2: She's not gonna have any teeth, but she'll be a
Speaker 2: good kid now she'll have teeth, they'll just be really
Speaker 2: splayed out, like kind of thing, like a little duck beak.
Speaker 2: That's like ham. That's not fair. No, I know I
Speaker 2: did that to her anyway. I spoke about it on
Speaker 2: here and then shortly afterwards, I had a whole lot
Speaker 2: of guilt around the fact that I'm the one who's
Speaker 2: allowing her to have a dummy because it makes my
Speaker 2: life easier, also her life, arguably, but it's good for me.
Speaker 2: You know, she sleeps through the night. The dummies for you,
Speaker 2: not her. Anytime she's crying, shove that thing in. It's
Speaker 2: more a copy mechanism for me. Yeah. And so on
Speaker 2: Friday night this has in like just passed, something washed
Speaker 2: over me, and I decided, tonight's to night. We're gonna
Speaker 2: do it. We're gonna go cold turkey, We're gonna a
Speaker 2: whole hog. Where does that come from? Do you know what?
Speaker 2: I know exactly where it came from. It came from
Speaker 2: Lola was having a tantrum in the bath and then
Speaker 2: she hit me in the face and said I want
Speaker 2: my dummy, And I was like, cool, I think maybe
Speaker 2: no dummy. Now, Okay, you're looking at it really shocked.
Speaker 2: Do kids hit their parents in their face? Yeah, all
Speaker 2: the time. Kid's a brutal man. What little shit. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Laula kicked me last night. I mean, like, she's a kid,
Speaker 2: So I don't take it to heart to kick a back.
Speaker 2: She's like, a man, does you have I feel no,
Speaker 2: because that's legal. Yeah, So okay, I took the dummies
Speaker 2: off far I was gonna do. I've tried the whole
Speaker 2: dummy fairy before. I've tried the like buried in the
Speaker 2: garden and then lollipops grew out of it, like I've
Speaker 2: tried to wean her before, but the regalit fer is
Speaker 2: it out of the garden. No, Everyone's kind of like, oh,
Speaker 2: there's this like process. You can pretend like the dummy
Speaker 2: fairy came and took the dummies away, or you can
Speaker 2: put them in the garden and then lollipops grow out
Speaker 2: and then the kids are so excited because you know
Speaker 2: they've traded the dummy for something else. There is nothing
Speaker 2: on planet Earth that my child wants more than a dummy,
Speaker 2: So there's no bribery that's going to work in this situation.
Speaker 2: So you actually did yourself a disservice, like by holding
Speaker 2: onto it longer, it's been a bit easier for you.
Speaker 2: But now she's old enough to completely comprehend that something's
Speaker 2: better with it. Oh she misses it now because she's
Speaker 2: too old totally. So Friday Night she screamed bloody murder
Speaker 2: for one and a half hour intervals, four separate intervals,
Speaker 2: so she didn't sleep. Basically, that math is six hours,
Speaker 2: six hours of screaming scream. And I'd go in there
Speaker 2: every set of five minutes, ten minutes like pat, pat pat, cuddle, scream, cuddle, scream,
Speaker 2: cuttle scream. And what did you say? I said, I'm
Speaker 2: so sorry, honey, no more dummies. Were a big girl.
Speaker 2: We're a big girl now, she said, over and over.
Speaker 2: So that happened on Friday night, Saturday night. Surprisingly, it
Speaker 2: was a lot better. I did bribe her with toys
Speaker 2: on Saturday and things were a little bit better. And
Speaker 2: then Sunday night it's been manageable, but not great.
Speaker 1: So you were you didn't go down the track of anything.
Speaker 1: You just said it's time, you're a big girl.
Speaker 2: You didn't. There was no fairy, there was no buster
Speaker 2: ate it, there was no I'll make a trade. Nah
Speaker 2: just went cold turkey. Does that make me a bad mum?
Speaker 2: It's been pretty brutal. No, I actually don't think it
Speaker 2: makes you a bad mum. I think it's like kids
Speaker 2: have to learn, says Britt. Britt, the girl who just asked,
Speaker 2: did you kick it back?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, obviously that was a joke. I do not
Speaker 3: support abuse.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a very much jokes, guys. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I didn't feel like we're at the point where I
Speaker 2: needed to make that joke and say that was joke.
Speaker 2: In case you knew a life on cut. I guess
Speaker 2: I was just surprised. I do think it's good for you.
Speaker 1: I'm not a parent, obviously no, but I think it's
Speaker 1: really good sometimes to not make up these things for kids.
Speaker 1: Not to be like, oh my god, like something took
Speaker 1: it away, but to be like, hey, you know what,
Speaker 1: this is what happens.
Speaker 2: You go through a point in life where you grow
Speaker 2: up and you don't need it anymore. Yeah, it's resilient
Speaker 2: because that life. Man, people take shit from you and
Speaker 2: you don't get it back, and there's no reason earth
Speaker 2: it's not fair, and that is life. This is gonna
Speaker 2: be one of those moments in life that actually makes
Speaker 2: her a better human because imagine if she was twenty
Speaker 2: five years old and still suck in a dummy. Oh, Laura,
Speaker 2: that you would go down for abuse if your kids
Speaker 2: still had a dummy.
Speaker 1: But you know there are kids there are kids. Is
Speaker 1: still breastfeed at like ten years old?
Speaker 2: You know that. I don't think ten. But I'll tell
Speaker 2: you something. There was that groom that was bread feeding
Speaker 2: at his wedding. No, do you know what. I think
Speaker 2: that was an urban legend. I know we spoke about
Speaker 2: it on radio, but I don't. I cannot believe.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure it was in Dolly magazine sealed section.
Speaker 2: I think it was real. I can't believe that that
Speaker 2: was true. But I will tell you guys something. No
Speaker 2: shame to anyone who breastfeeds for a really long time
Speaker 2: because I was three and a half.
Speaker 1: No shame if you're breastfeeding your son and his wedding, shame.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm calling bullshit. Shame on you. If your child
Speaker 2: is forty five and you're still breastfeeding and he can
Speaker 2: say bitty, I would say that that's probably a problem. No.
Speaker 2: I was breastfed until I was three and a half.
Speaker 2: Three and a half. That's really old. That's like almost Mali,
Speaker 2: like Marley's four and a half, but like three and
Speaker 2: a half is a fully functioning little human that can
Speaker 2: like anyway, Apparently, we were on a bus and I
Speaker 2: was trying to rip my mum's shirt open and I
Speaker 2: was like, give me your boob, and that was when
Speaker 2: she realized that maybe she should stop breastfeeding me. No,
Speaker 2: I do you know what, I actually think three is
Speaker 2: not that uncommon.
Speaker 3: And I genuinely mean that.
Speaker 2: I have a lot of friends that have breastfed till
Speaker 2: two and a half three. It depends on what culture.
Speaker 2: I think it's just Australian No, But in Australia it
Speaker 2: is not unusual. I mean again, in Australia, it's unusual.
Speaker 2: Most people don't breastfeed for that long most people. And
Speaker 2: I think that if you are breastfeeding your kids at
Speaker 2: that age, you're definitely not doing it in public. You're
Speaker 2: doing it as like a wine down time at night
Speaker 2: time or something. You know, it's usually something that you
Speaker 2: kind of maybe you stop sharing it with people because
Speaker 2: people start to be a little bit like pooh pooh, Okay,
Speaker 2: I'll remember that if that day ever comes to me.
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm gonna be that person of breastfeeds
Speaker 2: for five minutes and I'm.
Speaker 3: Like, oh, I'm scat off my tit.
Speaker 2: That was me. I got to four months and I
Speaker 2: was like, I'm really I don't know. Some people love
Speaker 2: it and it's sacred and it's beautiful and it's such
Speaker 2: a bonding moment.
Speaker 3: I'd be more doing it to get my own metabolism back.
Speaker 2: Jake, Ohkah. I made it to four months, and I,
Speaker 2: like I said, I know that some people find it's
Speaker 2: like a real connection and bonding moment, and we are
Speaker 2: all led to believe that it's going to be this
Speaker 2: incredible motherly thing that you're gonna want to do. I
Speaker 2: just didn't like it. I did not enjoy it, and
Speaker 2: I know that it's very necessary, so take that back.
Speaker 2: I take it back because we are so shamed into
Speaker 2: thinking that that's the only way of providing for your children,
Speaker 2: and that if the reason why you stop breastfeeding is
Speaker 2: because you don't enjoy it, then you're somehow a worse mother.
Speaker 2: I got to four and a half months or maybe
Speaker 2: five months with Mali and four months with Lola, and
Speaker 2: you know what, My kids were bottle fed on formula
Speaker 2: and they are fine. One of them is still on
Speaker 2: a dummy, but they're fine with a left, right, and center.
Speaker 2: I just laughed so hard. I don't know if you
Speaker 2: saw that happen.
Speaker 1: I just laughed so hard that my hand flung past
Speaker 1: my own mouth into a tooth and I cut my.
Speaker 2: Finger open, speaking of snaggle teeth.
Speaker 1: I don't remember how it happened. I prop a blood
Speaker 1: on my face. My finger is cut open and bleeding
Speaker 1: from my own hysteria.
Speaker 2: Also, the one thing I do want to say is
Speaker 2: I went and got my nails done yesterday for like
Speaker 2: holiday nails, and I had this image in my head
Speaker 2: of what was gonna look like. And they're the ugliest
Speaker 2: nails I've ever gotten. There I have to do so
Speaker 2: I cannot go away with them. Can I show you?
Speaker 3: I'm glad you haven't noticed yet, show me.
Speaker 2: Do you know what it was? Chloe Fisher.
Speaker 1: I saw a picture from Chloe Fisher and she had
Speaker 1: these really cute nails. So I took a screenshot and I,
Speaker 1: you know how like you have an idea when you
Speaker 1: order something online of what something's gonna look like because
Speaker 1: it looks amazing on the model.
Speaker 2: Like what I ordered and what I received it's exactly that.
Speaker 2: And so I went into the place. Doesn't help with
Speaker 2: my fingers, but I went into the place and I
Speaker 2: was like, I like this vibe and they look nothing
Speaker 2: like it and they hit it. Can I say something,
Speaker 2: You're gonna take this as an offensive thing, And I
Speaker 2: don't mean it as offensive. If you're about to say
Speaker 2: something highly effects, you just have really bulbous nails. So
Speaker 2: this is not a good look for you. I do
Speaker 2: I have?
Speaker 1: Well this is And I even said to them, they're
Speaker 1: really thick, and I said, hey, I don't want thick ones.
Speaker 1: So what's the thinnest thing you've got, like in terms
Speaker 1: of like acrylics.
Speaker 2: It's in there.
Speaker 1: So because I don't know, I'm not that good at
Speaker 1: girly girly stuff, so I always ask them. I don't
Speaker 1: know what I ever want. They're fucking ugly, man. I
Speaker 1: need to go and fix them tomorrow. I have my
Speaker 1: mom's fingers, sorry, MoMA. Like, if I ever get engaged,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to photoshop someone's hand onto my wrist.
Speaker 2: If you guys don't know, brit is going over to Scotland,
Speaker 2: brit he's not engaged. She's not engaged. She's going over
Speaker 2: to Scotland to spend Christmas with Ben. So they're gonna
Speaker 2: I mean, you're away for like eight weeks now and
Speaker 2: then yeah, So if for some reason or if this
Speaker 2: is the time that Ben does propose to you, you
Speaker 2: can't have those ugly hoops. Ben is definitely not proposing
Speaker 2: this time, but irrelevant, I cannot have these fingers.
Speaker 1: What would you do if you did propose? Obviously say no,
Speaker 1: I mean it's too soon, Come.
Speaker 2: Bitch, please, I'd be all over that like.
Speaker 3: A rash, like one hundred percent. This is the love
Speaker 3: of my life mL hashtag love of my life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my gosh, speaking to Ben, I don't think
Speaker 2: I said this.
Speaker 1: I don't think I said this at all. Correct me
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. We recently had our one year anniversary.
Speaker 2: He was here for it.
Speaker 1: So it was when I was doing my egg freezing.
Speaker 1: Happened to fall in that three days, which I felt
Speaker 1: like was which was a sign from the gods right
Speaker 1: because he wasn't supposed to be able to come, but
Speaker 1: he made this really big effort to come for my
Speaker 1: egg freezing just for that three day period and it
Speaker 1: fell in that period our anniversary, So I was like, amazing,
Speaker 1: beautiful special on the day I had gone and bought him.
Speaker 1: Now I know this sounds extra, and it is extra,
Speaker 1: but it was our anniversary and I'm love and Ben
Speaker 1: likes fashion.
Speaker 2: I bought him a Prata bucket hat.
Speaker 1: It was expensive, but I knew he was gonna love it,
Speaker 1: and he does love it.
Speaker 2: I don't know a single person in this world who
Speaker 2: has a part of bucket hair.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Fisher, he loves DJ Fisher Okay, and Fisher only
Speaker 1: wears bucket hat.
Speaker 3: He just loved her. He just fucking loves it. And
Speaker 3: I was like, it's special, you know.
Speaker 1: So I wrote him this really long, beautiful letter where
Speaker 1: I poured my heart out and I put so many
Speaker 1: emotions into it, and then I read him a card
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 3: The letter was extra. Then I read him a beautiful card.
Speaker 1: Then I got him this hat and it was wrapped
Speaker 1: up in his beautiful hat box and it had ribbons
Speaker 1: and it was so amazing. So I was so excited
Speaker 1: to have this exchange with each other that it.
Speaker 2: Was the night before and I was like, do you
Speaker 2: just want your present now?
Speaker 1: Because I want you to use it over the weekend,
Speaker 1: over the couple of days that you hear And he's like, okay, sure,
Speaker 1: So I got in this present.
Speaker 2: You know, when you know you've nailed it. Yeah, So
Speaker 2: I'm a bad present giver, So no, I'm never that.
Speaker 2: I never had that feeling. I knew I nailed it,
Speaker 2: and I knew can't. I just fucking knew it.
Speaker 3: So I was pumped.
Speaker 2: Anyway, he loved it, and then I was like looking
Speaker 2: at him and I was like, do you want to
Speaker 2: give me mine now?
Speaker 1: He goes, oh, if you want it now? I was like, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: because that's what we're doing. I'm excited.
Speaker 2: So puts his hand in his bag and just pulls
Speaker 2: out a box of perfume and it's not wrapped, and
Speaker 2: he hands it to me and I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: thinking this must be the pre gift to the gift
Speaker 2: and I was like, should I do the card first?
Speaker 2: And he's like, oh, there is no card and I
Speaker 2: was like, oh, this is the Rouleta. He's like no.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, okay, the guy just flew across
Speaker 2: the fucking world way the wait.
Speaker 1: So I opened the perfume. Beautiful, It's like a lovely
Speaker 1: perfume and I was.
Speaker 2: Like, but it wasn't wrapped her. It was just weird.
Speaker 2: It wasn't wrapped or anything. He just came straight.
Speaker 1: He just handed me the perfume and I was like,
Speaker 1: did you just get this last night at Judy Free
Speaker 1: in the airport and he's like, yeah, I did. And
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, okay, thank you. And I was
Speaker 1: so disappointed. And I thought that the present would come
Speaker 1: the next day and it didn't come, which is.
Speaker 2: Fine, right, Like it's fine, but I had put so
Speaker 2: much effort into it. Okay, it was not fine. I'd
Speaker 2: put so much effort into it. And then I said
Speaker 2: to him, I actually asked him.
Speaker 1: I said, so you just got there from g Freed,
Speaker 1: so you didn't actually remember it was the anniversary. He didn't
Speaker 1: put any thought into it. And he said, no, you
Speaker 1: told me, let's not get presents. We won't get each
Speaker 1: other presence, like we love each other.
Speaker 2: That's enough.
Speaker 1: I was like, Ben, if a woman says don't get
Speaker 1: me a present, she obviously means get me a present.
Speaker 1: Like no woman in the history of don't get me
Speaker 1: a present means don't get me a present.
Speaker 2: I am the exception to this. I am because it's
Speaker 2: like a path. No, it depends on if you Okay,
Speaker 2: if you're a love language person. I am not a
Speaker 2: gift person. I don't care for gifts. So Matt and
Speaker 2: I will often say, don't get each other a present,
Speaker 2: and then we actually don't get each other presence, and
Speaker 2: it's really relieving that one person didn't go against it,
Speaker 2: because if you've decided not to get presents and then
Speaker 2: one person still gets one, it makes you feel like
Speaker 2: the asshole.
Speaker 3: But you said no presence, Okay.
Speaker 2: Firstly, I said to him, I don't think I ever
Speaker 2: would have actually said that I did. I was like,
Speaker 2: I don't think that came out of my mouth. Maybe
Speaker 2: I said it for Christmas because we're not going to
Speaker 2: get each other Christmas presents because that is expensive, right,
Speaker 2: we are flying to each other whatever.
Speaker 3: But an anniversary present.
Speaker 2: I was like, Ben, I don't think I ever would
Speaker 2: have said that. Secondly, if I did say that, never,
Speaker 2: don't get me a present, like you should know better,
Speaker 2: like you should know me enough by now that that
Speaker 2: is not a Brittany Hockley way of living. So he
Speaker 2: thinks in his brain that he was doing the extra
Speaker 2: because he thought, oh, I get it, she doesn't want
Speaker 2: a present, so I'll just get her duty free perfume.
Speaker 3: And it made me think we as women, I.
Speaker 2: Mean, I'm sure men do too, but we say.
Speaker 1: So many things that actually have no connection to the
Speaker 1: meaning whatsoever.
Speaker 2: This is like the equivalent of girl math. It's like
Speaker 2: girl language.
Speaker 1: We have a whole nother dialogue that means something completely
Speaker 1: different to what we.
Speaker 2: Say, Oh yeah, mineus, I have a headache. Actually just
Speaker 2: means I don't want to have sex? Yes tonight? So true.
Speaker 2: Like when you're in an argument or something, you know,
Speaker 2: if like you're giving them the silent treatment and they're like, babe,
Speaker 2: what's wrong, You're like.
Speaker 3: Nothing, I'm fine, I'm fine.
Speaker 2: Everything is not fine.
Speaker 3: The floor is fucking lava. Everything is not fine.
Speaker 2: I am about to divorce you. We have so far
Speaker 2: from being fine that way. Your father shit. I've been
Speaker 2: thinking about this and there are actually so many things
Speaker 2: that I know why I do, and I know every
Speaker 2: woman does.
Speaker 3: I'm not hungry, Hey babe, do you want me to
Speaker 3: get you something on the way home? No, I'm not hungry.
Speaker 1: Always get them a burger. They are going to eat
Speaker 1: your food.
Speaker 2: No. Do you know what the equivalent of this is?
Speaker 2: This is not not that are you hungry? It's a
Speaker 2: do you want anything? When your partner's ordering something at
Speaker 2: a cafe, do you want anything? And they say no,
Speaker 2: I'm fine. You fucking know you know that I'm going
Speaker 2: to eat your chips and don't be mad when I
Speaker 2: do it and pretend like you didn't expect this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because then I always say you said you didn't
Speaker 1: want anything. I evidently didn't mean it.
Speaker 2: Of course I didn't want anything, and then you got chips,
Speaker 2: and now I want them. I didn't want my own.
Speaker 2: I wanted to eat yours because I don't want so
Speaker 2: much of them that I want to whole serve. But
Speaker 2: I want you to share with me because you love me.
Speaker 2: That is absolutely the equivalent of mine and MAT's relationship.
Speaker 2: Matts so far now he won't even ask me, He'll
Speaker 2: just order a second or whatever he's having. Yes, he
Speaker 2: refuses to share with me. Yeah again. Okay on the
Speaker 2: food thing, what do you feel like eating?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Whatever, baby you pick? Okay, what about pepperinizza? I don't
Speaker 2: like pepperini? Okay?
Speaker 3: Do you want to get a would never bear a
Speaker 3: hot dug?
Speaker 2: So you do care? No, because you don't care so
Speaker 2: long it's within the framework of a specific selection of foods,
Speaker 2: and your partner should know the types of things that
Speaker 2: you like to eat. Like if you say, oh, I
Speaker 2: don't care, it's clearly obviously going to be Italian tie
Speaker 2: or Mexican, Like there's no other options. You can't say, Oh,
Speaker 2: we're going to get a fucking Chipotle tonight. You're like, no,
Speaker 2: that wasn't. I don't care so long it's within our
Speaker 2: normal selection of foods that are on offer. Yes, this
Speaker 2: is a good one. I just want a guy that
Speaker 2: makes me laugh.
Speaker 1: What you mean is you, in fact want a guy
Speaker 1: that is emotionally stable, who's also a smoke show hot,
Speaker 1: who's also financially stable, but is also slightly funny occasionally
Speaker 1: and doesn't cheat on me and doesn't cheat on me.
Speaker 2: That is what you want. One of the ones that
Speaker 2: I think I do matter is I'll say to him,
Speaker 2: do you want to drive? Do you want to drive?
Speaker 2: In our world means I am not driving. I don't
Speaker 2: want to. It's not a question. It is a request
Speaker 2: you will drive today? Yeah, but I also hate driving
Speaker 2: all the time. So the fact that I ever have
Speaker 2: to ask him, like, once again, why didn't you read
Speaker 2: my mind? Yeah, that's on you. That's a you problem.
Speaker 2: That's not a me problem.
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. It's not a you language problem at all. No, Okay,
Speaker 1: do you want to lift home? Oh it's okay, I
Speaker 1: can walk. Yeah, I want to lift home. I don't
Speaker 1: want to fucking walk like absolutely, you double down on
Speaker 1: that question.
Speaker 2: Ask me again, because I'll say yes. Maybe it's just
Speaker 2: that you want people to persu Do you know what
Speaker 2: it is as well? We have been groomed and maybe
Speaker 2: I'm taking this too seriously grooed. No, we have been women.
Speaker 2: We have been groomed to be too nice. We don't
Speaker 2: actually say what we want. We just like give a version,
Speaker 2: which is like the nicest version of something. We don't
Speaker 2: want to ask for what we really want for fear
Speaker 2: of someone interpreting that we are, you know, not a
Speaker 2: nice person or too pushy or to whatever. We like
Speaker 2: ask for it, but in this like subliminal way in
Speaker 2: which we don't actually ask for it at all. We
Speaker 2: just imply it and hope that the other person picks
Speaker 2: up in our cues.
Speaker 1: You always need to double down with the question, always,
Speaker 1: because the second and third time, or triple down the
Speaker 1: second and third time you ask a woman something, you're
Speaker 1: going to get a different answer, whether it's are you hungry?
Speaker 2: Are you sure? But are you doubly sure? Yeah? Okay,
Speaker 2: get me burger. Do you want to lift? No, I'm good.
Speaker 3: He sure, just let me take you think, okay, yeah,
Speaker 3: you can take me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but this is annoying. Okay, I understand why it's
Speaker 2: annoying for guys who are like, for sure, okay, I
Speaker 2: asked you a straight question, you gave me an answer,
Speaker 2: and now I'm the one in the wrong. But also,
Speaker 2: girl language is the new girl math. I'm here for this.
Speaker 2: It is. It is, but we do it to each
Speaker 2: other as well, like the girls do it to each other.
Speaker 2: We say something and we mean something completely different, even like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, I have nothing to wear tonight.
Speaker 3: No, in fact, you do.
Speaker 1: You have a wardrobe that it will kill you if
Speaker 1: it falls out onto you and you will drowning your clothes.
Speaker 3: That is what you actually mean.
Speaker 2: But I can't find the specific thing I want to
Speaker 2: wear tonight. Or when you go home on a one
Speaker 2: night stand and you're like, I never do this, narrator,
Speaker 2: she in fact does this often one hundred percent. I
Speaker 2: think it's hilarious girl language. Okay, wait, I've got one more,
Speaker 2: which is like, oh, he's such a creep, which actually,
Speaker 2: just when you think about it, like oh he's suh
Speaker 2: a creep. He could be a creep. He could be
Speaker 2: a creep. Oh he's such a stalker. Nine times out
Speaker 2: of ten, he's not actually a stalker, nor is he
Speaker 2: a creep. He just really likes you and you're not
Speaker 2: interested in him. He's not attracting, but he's not attractive
Speaker 2: enough for you to be into him. Whereas if he
Speaker 2: was more attractive and you were into him, you would
Speaker 2: not find any of the behavior's stalkerci or creeping. No,
Speaker 2: because if the stalker.
Speaker 1: Is a smoke show that's emotionally and financially stable, that
Speaker 1: also makes you laugh.
Speaker 2: He's not a stalker anymore. You're like, I just found
Speaker 2: my dream boat. He's incredible, yet I'm getting married. Also,
Speaker 2: what about when you go on a date and they're like,
Speaker 2: what are you looking for?
Speaker 1: You're like, you know, I'm I'm open to alve a
Speaker 1: lot of things, you know, but like happy to take
Speaker 1: it slow.
Speaker 2: It's not that.
Speaker 1: What you want to say is I want three point
Speaker 1: three kids and a white picker fence and to get
Speaker 1: married within twelve months.
Speaker 2: But you can't say that. It's a bit over barrier.
Speaker 2: So a little statistic that you might not know. It
Speaker 2: turns out that this week, in particular of all the weeks. Actually, specifically,
Speaker 2: the eleventh of December, which was Monday, is quite a
Speaker 2: hard day for a lot of couples because it is
Speaker 2: officially the day of the most breakups in the entire year.
Speaker 2: I see, well, in a universe, in the whole of
Speaker 2: the universe, even aliens are breaking up on the eleventh
Speaker 2: of December. Everyone's breaking up on the eleventh December. Okay,
Speaker 2: wait for this. Okay, So there was a report that
Speaker 2: was done by the New York Post and apparently breakup
Speaker 2: surge on December eleven. Because of this, like this research
Speaker 2: that's been done into it, it's been anointed breakup Day
Speaker 2: around the world.
Speaker 1: Isn't that depressing? Is that a day like pancake Day?
Speaker 1: Like are we supposed to be like have your breakup date?
Speaker 1: You know how those pancake days.
Speaker 2: There's literally a day for fucking everything. Yeah, late day. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you don't celebrate breakup day. Maybe you do. Sometimes I
Speaker 2: think about my ex's and I celebrate breakup day. Well,
Speaker 2: if you're the breaker upera, you'd celebrate more than a
Speaker 2: break key. Do you know what? Though, I understand this theory.
Speaker 2: So this is like, Okay, the eleventh of December I mean,
Speaker 2: we're well entrenched in the festive season, but if you're
Speaker 2: in a relationship that you don't want to be in,
Speaker 2: this is a very stressful time of year for a
Speaker 2: lot of people. And I'm specifically saying like people who
Speaker 2: are kind of on the precipice, like do I break up?
Speaker 2: Do I not break up? Like? What am I gonna
Speaker 2: do with this relationship? I'm not really in love with
Speaker 2: them anymore. You know, it's not working out for me.
Speaker 2: Whatever that looks like. This week is the d week.
Speaker 2: This is when it's gonna happen because it's far enough
Speaker 2: away from Christmas that you don't have to do things together. So, like,
Speaker 2: the reason why everyone's breaking up now, and this is
Speaker 2: my theory, is because the looming decisions that need to
Speaker 2: be made around New Year's, around Christmas Day, around like
Speaker 2: how you're going to spend your family holidays. No, it's
Speaker 2: a financial crisis. You also don't want to buy presents
Speaker 2: you don't have to buy if this person ain't going
Speaker 2: to be locked down, you don't want to be spending.
Speaker 3: Hard earned cash on it.
Speaker 2: Ain't no one going to be buying this person a
Speaker 2: prid of bucket hat.
Speaker 1: No, no, brad Backer hat, maybe some duty free, tax free perfume.
Speaker 2: I mean this though, right, like, this is why people
Speaker 2: are breaking up because it is the perfect amount of time.
Speaker 2: It's almost a little bit too late, but it's just
Speaker 2: on the cusp that if it's not done this week,
Speaker 2: you've got to wait until after New Years, and that sucks. Well,
Speaker 2: it's because it's so family oriented as well, and it's
Speaker 2: like that awkward like if you've actually been with someone,
Speaker 2: if you've been with someone for a little while, you're
Speaker 2: expected in the relationship and in the family to bring
Speaker 2: that person to Christmas.
Speaker 1: But if you know that not you're forever You're like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to integrate you into my family, and
Speaker 1: then it just gets awkward. It's easy to cut tires. Also,
Speaker 1: everyone wants to go have their summer flings. That's the
Speaker 1: other thing.
Speaker 3: People want to go on holidays. They want to go
Speaker 3: Stop calling it hollibay. Sorry, I'm a dog.
Speaker 2: People want to go on. People want to go on. No,
Speaker 2: you're not going back. I don't I have no okay, no,
Speaker 2: all right, I have one more. I have one more girl. Language.
Speaker 2: I am such a dog quote unquote is just a
Speaker 2: really hot cheek who's just done something that's kind of
Speaker 2: slightly weird. They're like, I'm a dog, I'm so random.
Speaker 2: That was the other one, I'm so random, I'm so random.
Speaker 2: Is actually, you're not random at all. You're just a
Speaker 2: super fucking hot person who said that you're random. So
Speaker 2: rod And I'm so glad I got that. I feel bad. Okay,
Speaker 2: continue back.
Speaker 1: To the brain because I know what you want to say,
Speaker 1: is that I say that I'm a dog.
Speaker 2: I'm a dog. I'm a random dog.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry if I'm saying hollibay, lolcanoe panel close the
Speaker 1: lolla door.
Speaker 3: I'm a dog.
Speaker 1: You can be a good looking dog too, you know, Laura.
Speaker 1: They Cameron Diaz something about Mary hot smoke showed door.
Speaker 2: No she's not that. This is my argument.
Speaker 3: This is my argument.
Speaker 2: She's I wash your mouth. Keisha said she's a fake dog. No,
Speaker 2: not that. This is my argument. Cameron Diaz is a
Speaker 2: fake dog because she's so hot. If you want to
Speaker 2: be that person, if you see that person, you're like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, I just wish I looked like her.
Speaker 2: I wish I could be her. She is aspirationally like
Speaker 2: cool girl, funny. Jennifer Lawrence another one. They're not a dog.
Speaker 2: It is yes, they are. It is the definition of courtka. Anyways,
Speaker 2: let's continue with December eleven.
Speaker 3: You can be a hot dog.
Speaker 1: Maybe not okay, So we actually asked you guys because
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, is this accurate or if someone
Speaker 1: just pulled a day out of their butt. We're like,
Speaker 1: I wonder how many of our listeners have actually gone
Speaker 1: through a breakup on December eleven or those couple of
Speaker 1: days surrounding it.
Speaker 2: I had might be break up this week. I might
Speaker 2: be break up pre Matt. Oh, I was like what.
Speaker 2: I was like, how are you going to announce? Matt
Speaker 2: and I broke up because she cheated on him last
Speaker 2: week with Tim Robuds. Yeah, I cheated on him. Made
Speaker 2: it into the Daily Mail. He's very disappointed. No, my
Speaker 2: big relationship pre Matt, we broke up this week.
Speaker 1: So we did ask you guys, hey, how many of
Speaker 1: you are broken up around this time?
Speaker 2: And it was surprising, So we want to read a
Speaker 2: couple of out. Okay. He broke up with me on
Speaker 2: the eleventh, two days after my dog died. He said
Speaker 2: he needed to focus on his mental health. But his
Speaker 2: mental health just happened to be a girl he was
Speaker 2: at university with that he had been seeing for six
Speaker 2: months prior. He wasn't focused on his mental health. He's
Speaker 2: focusing on fucking someone else. Boy language, yeah, boy language, Okay.
Speaker 2: I literally witnessed a break up this morning on our
Speaker 2: morning walk. This is going to sound like a lie,
Speaker 2: but it isn't. My husband and I were on our
Speaker 2: morning walk with the dog and we turned the corner
Speaker 2: to see two people sitting on a driveway looking sad
Speaker 2: and down at the road. We said good morning as
Speaker 2: we walked past. Fifteen minutes later we turned around and
Speaker 2: walked back past them and smart again. About five minutes later,
Speaker 2: we had crossed the road and he runs past on
Speaker 2: the other side of the road and yells, have a
Speaker 2: great day, guys. I have to run all the way
Speaker 2: to Fernie Hills, which is a suburb about fourteen kilometers
Speaker 2: away in Brisbane. She just broke up with me. Life
Speaker 2: is shit. We were all like, oh what the fuck?
Speaker 2: This was around seven am this morning and they were
Speaker 2: both clearly in last night's close early twenties. I'd say
Speaker 2: this says to proceed it is harder on you early
Speaker 2: twenties we also didn't think this through. This is gonna
Speaker 2: be quite a sad, little depressing break, isn't it.
Speaker 3: Well maybe not always.
Speaker 1: At his work Christmas party, I found out that he
Speaker 1: cheated with someone at work, so I broke up with him.
Speaker 1: He turned up at my house two days later asking
Speaker 1: for his Christmas gift.
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 3: What a fucking weirdo?
Speaker 2: What a fuck with? Maybe he forgot, maybe he was drunk.
Speaker 1: You don't forget that you cheated and got broken up with? No,
Speaker 1: he just knew she already got in the gift. Wow,
Speaker 1: it's like Ben coming back being like, look, I know
Speaker 1: it's over, but that prior to backup, I.
Speaker 2: Really like it. Can I have that? Okay? Yes, I
Speaker 2: just broke up with my partner two days ago. Couldn't
Speaker 2: bear the thought of spending Christmas and New Years together,
Speaker 2: introducing him to my family members when I knew it
Speaker 2: wasn't going to last. This is what I think is
Speaker 2: the most common one, right, Like, it is such a
Speaker 2: big decision to bring someone home, but also it's the
Speaker 2: break between Christmas and New Year's feels so long, and
Speaker 2: you have to then think about that person in your
Speaker 2: New Year's plans, And why do you want to bring
Speaker 2: in the new year with a person who you know
Speaker 2: you don't want to be with totally. That's why people
Speaker 2: are doing it now. It's that new Year's resolution, right,
Speaker 2: Like everyone's like, I want to start fresh. This is
Speaker 2: my year.
Speaker 3: I want to have good energy, I want to you know.
Speaker 1: Everything is surrounding wanting that fresh start. That's what I think,
Speaker 1: like for some reason, I mean, January is the same
Speaker 1: as November, right, It's just a month of the year.
Speaker 1: Your fresh start can start anywhere, but we always associate
Speaker 1: it with the start of a new calendar, and that means,
Speaker 1: you know, you don't want to bring someone into that
Speaker 1: time if you're not going to go forward with you forever.
Speaker 2: You sign up for a new pilates class and you
Speaker 2: dumb your toxic eggs and that's pretty much how it goes.
Speaker 2: I welcome January.
Speaker 1: We had a friend and I reckon this is really
Speaker 1: common that the guy literally said, I really like you,
Speaker 1: but I'm going I think it was Thailand. I'm going
Speaker 1: to Thailand for the summer holidays. So and she was
Speaker 1: like so he's like, well, you know, he was like what.
Speaker 1: She's like, what, So You're going to Thailand? Great, Like
Speaker 1: you're going to the beach. She's like, yeah, but you know,
Speaker 1: like so maybe we can regroup in January.
Speaker 2: And she was like, what the fuck? He just wanted
Speaker 2: to go and have a sexy holiday and I think
Speaker 2: not normal. Sorry comment. I want to say this. I
Speaker 2: respect that, not the respect it. I respect it because
Speaker 2: he didn't cheat. I respect that he knew what he
Speaker 2: was going to do, and he knew he was not
Speaker 2: going to be faithful. He knew he didn't want to
Speaker 2: be in a long term relation. He wanted to come back. Okay,
Speaker 2: I don't respect that, but but I respect the at
Speaker 2: least being honest. Look, I'm going overseas. We shouldn't be together.
Speaker 2: It's going to get freaky because he could have just
Speaker 2: lied and that would have been way worse. She didn't.
Speaker 2: It was never going to find out about it. Okay.
Speaker 3: Can I tell you what else happened in that situation?
Speaker 2: On the edge of my seat now? Okay, because it
Speaker 2: got really bad.
Speaker 3: So she had agreed, she had said exactly what you said.
Speaker 1: Okay, I guess, I guess I can see where that's going.
Speaker 1: You've been honest, you want to go for a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks, and then you want to come back.
Speaker 3: Let's just pretend it didn't happen. Go do your thing, each.
Speaker 2: To their own, right.
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, interesting, he went, did exactly what
Speaker 1: he was going to do and got a random European
Speaker 1: girl pregnant, and now he's a father.
Speaker 3: I'm not making this up. He's a father. Did they
Speaker 3: get back together?
Speaker 2: They did for a couple of months and then no.
Speaker 2: And then he.
Speaker 1: Wanted to be in this child's life to this random
Speaker 1: woman that he didn't know, so she ended up being
Speaker 1: like too hard basket, so she left and he went
Speaker 1: and got together. He moved to a European country and
Speaker 1: got together with this random girl to attempt to raise
Speaker 1: the child. Could not make that up. Wow, I don't
Speaker 1: know what happened to this day. That was probably two
Speaker 1: years ago, and I don't know. Let's get them on
Speaker 1: the podcast call up. I'll try and get away.
Speaker 2: Do you know what, though, that is like a little
Speaker 2: interesting side pivot here. I think sometimes in relationships we
Speaker 2: can conflate honesty with someone being a good person, as
Speaker 2: in like we can go, okay, well, they told me
Speaker 2: exactly what they're going to do. They were being honest,
Speaker 2: so therefore that's a reflection of their true self, and
Speaker 2: so maybe they're even more worth dating, like worth giving
Speaker 2: another chance to But sometimes honesty is used as a
Speaker 2: weapon as well. Yeah, but I do sort of.
Speaker 1: I am leaning on the side of respecting somebody that
Speaker 1: is honest, because that's what it is, right. You can't
Speaker 1: fault someone when somebody comes into a relationship. If you
Speaker 1: found out they've cheated, right, and you're like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: you've cheated on me, They're like, no, I didn't, No,
Speaker 1: I didn't.
Speaker 2: Whatever, they're lying, you have this big blow up.
Speaker 3: You hate them more.
Speaker 1: But when somebody owns something he's like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, Yes I did.
Speaker 2: Where do you go.
Speaker 3: You're like, oh, well, thanks for telling me, Like you
Speaker 3: know what I mean, thanks for You.
Speaker 1: Can still be upset, But there's a level of when
Speaker 1: somebody just throws the truth out there that you can't
Speaker 1: do a lot with it. So when someone comes to
Speaker 1: you and says, hey, I really love you, but I
Speaker 1: do want to go and have this fling. I want
Speaker 1: to go overseas and be with someone, I'm just being honest.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Of course, there's a part of you that's like they're
Speaker 1: weaponizing it. One hundred percent, But there is also this
Speaker 1: other side where you're like, well, what you know?
Speaker 2: I have to respect that, Yeah, but it'd also questioned like,
Speaker 2: well do you love me? And also what is the
Speaker 2: most important thing to you? Okay, I'm going to read
Speaker 2: out another tragic breakup for you all to feel really
Speaker 2: depressed about. I've been with my boyfriend for a year
Speaker 2: and a half. He broke up with me out of
Speaker 2: nowhere two days ago, and the reason was we are
Speaker 2: on very different paths. This came as a complete shock
Speaker 2: to me, as we have been chatting a lot lately
Speaker 2: about how we were on exactly the same path, so
Speaker 2: news to me. Maybe he realized he was being honest,
Speaker 2: he realized it wasn't what he wanted anymore. Look, I
Speaker 2: guess what I wanted to say on this is, if
Speaker 2: you have been broken up with this week, if you're
Speaker 2: going through a hard time in your relationship, if this
Speaker 2: seems like the end of days, you are most certainly
Speaker 2: not alone. You are actually, if that makes you feel better,
Speaker 2: you're in the best company you could keep, because there
Speaker 2: are more people who are breaking up this week than
Speaker 2: there ever has been before. But also it can be
Speaker 2: a blessing. It means that you are also going into
Speaker 2: New Years with a clean slate, with a new, fresh
Speaker 2: outlook on life.
Speaker 1: There's no COVID, there's no lockdown. You can go get
Speaker 1: your New Year's kiss, you can go do whatever you want,
Speaker 1: find some mistletoe.
Speaker 2: Yes, and you can tell a man that you never
Speaker 2: do this, this is totally go home with him and
Speaker 2: say I can't believe I'm this is the first time.
Speaker 3: But there are a lot of people.
Speaker 1: But of course it's not easy to be broken up
Speaker 1: with it anytime, but it does get harder when it's
Speaker 1: around the Christmas if you're the one that's been broken
Speaker 1: up with, like when it's around Christmas time, because you
Speaker 1: do want those special moments with somebody, Like if you
Speaker 1: have thought you were going into that with someone that
Speaker 1: might be the love of your life or a relationship,
Speaker 1: or you thought you were going to have these amazing
Speaker 1: summer plans with somebody. It is really really hard. But
Speaker 1: I don't think it has to be. And when I
Speaker 1: say that, I know I speak about perception a lot.
Speaker 1: But you can be going through a heartbreak but still
Speaker 1: trying to make the most of the situation, and I
Speaker 1: think I think we're in Australian summer, have your hot
Speaker 1: girl summer, go out live your life. Don't necessarily get
Speaker 1: under someone to get over them if you want too. Great,
Speaker 1: But I think there are really positive things to take
Speaker 1: from being single that sometimes it's really hard to see
Speaker 1: when you're going through the motions of being heartbroken.
Speaker 2: Okay, I have a question for you though, around breakups
Speaker 2: this time of year. Is it selfish? Because I mean
Speaker 2: this as in, the person who's doing the breakup, are
Speaker 2: they being selfish? Because I think for them it is
Speaker 2: still enough time for them to get their shit and
Speaker 2: their life in order, because they were like, well, I
Speaker 2: needed to break up before Christmas. I needed to break
Speaker 2: up before New Year's But it means that for the
Speaker 2: person who has just been broken up with, that is
Speaker 2: not enough time to recover before those big milestones like
Speaker 2: doing Christmas, like doing news. I actually think that this
Speaker 2: week all like the next week, and I know that
Speaker 2: obviously it is such a high statistics in terms of breakups.
Speaker 2: I think it is such an incredibly selfish week to
Speaker 2: break up with someone because I think you've left it
Speaker 2: as long as you could possibly leave it for it
Speaker 2: to not affect you. Adversely, but you've not considered how
Speaker 2: much it affects the other person.
Speaker 1: Yes, but if I had two options, if I was
Speaker 1: getting broken up with and I had the option of
Speaker 1: them being honest and doing it now on the week
Speaker 1: of the eleventh of December, or faking it and going
Speaker 1: through with the whole holiday season, family plans with each other,
Speaker 1: doing everything knowing that they're going to break up with
Speaker 1: me in January, I would much rather it now before
Speaker 1: I do that, before you recommit to families, before you
Speaker 1: remake these special memories, that's going to be so much harder.
Speaker 2: That's a personal opinion for me. If I knew I
Speaker 2: had two options. Also, you're going to spend a Mozza
Speaker 2: on presence, maybe family presence.
Speaker 1: Food, going away, whatever, I would rather start that new
Speaker 1: year fresh. I think this is why it's really important
Speaker 1: to think that if you are in a relationship you
Speaker 1: or old, like maybe if you're not married, but you're
Speaker 1: in that preface, just remember to always stick them on
Speaker 1: the side of the family photos because you need to
Speaker 1: be able to cut them out if shit goes south.
Speaker 1: But seriously, there is a photoshop thread in the Facebook
Speaker 1: group if you guys need anyone photoshopped out.
Speaker 2: Throw it in there.
Speaker 3: It's so funny.
Speaker 1: All right, it's time for an accidentally unfiltered. I was
Speaker 1: on a snow holiday with my family. At the accommodation
Speaker 1: where we're in. There was a big buffet breakfast. Now,
Speaker 1: one morning I was lining up with my family and
Speaker 1: my cousin was standing in front of me. So I
Speaker 1: grabbed some cutlery, a big knife. I walked up behind
Speaker 1: him and jokingly put it into his back and said,
Speaker 1: don't move.
Speaker 3: Gotcha.
Speaker 2: The man turned around screaming, and it was not my cousin. Ha.
Speaker 2: She'd go on with a knife into someone's back as
Speaker 2: a joke, like just heeld it there and been like,
Speaker 2: don't move.
Speaker 3: And someone just thought they'd been attacked.
Speaker 2: Robbed in the buffet line for their sausage, and the
Speaker 2: sausage over so stupid, you'd die though, you would die,
Speaker 2: you were done, you know, like, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: And then he goes to her, sorry, He goes, she said,
Speaker 1: so sorry, I thought you were my cousin, And he goes,
Speaker 1: why are you trying to stab your cousin?
Speaker 2: Last week, if you listened to the episode, I was
Speaker 2: talking about how when we were at an event I
Speaker 2: accidentally rubbed him Robert's back, like you don't miss it
Speaker 2: an identity, and I had this woman message me and
Speaker 2: she was like, don't worry. Nothing will compare to the
Speaker 2: time where I picked up someone else's child in the
Speaker 2: cinema line and started walking away with them. She's picked
Speaker 2: up someone else's kid, thinking it was her child, and
Speaker 2: started walking into the cinema. Her kid was still in
Speaker 2: the fucking lollishop. She's walking out with a two year old.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, we never finished an episode without our
Speaker 1: sucond our suite, a highlight and a low light.
Speaker 3: I will kick it off. My suck was probably just that.
Speaker 1: If anyone was located in Sydney area, I don't know
Speaker 1: if this went up and down the ghost I didn't
Speaker 1: look Producer keysh Well, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm not the weather person, but just.
Speaker 1: The heat wave that hit I'm assuming the East Coast
Speaker 1: this weekend, so it was just shy of forty degrees
Speaker 1: about thirty eight degrees. I think it hit you in Sydney,
Speaker 1: probably out west hotter, but it was just so insanely hot.
Speaker 1: And I'm going to assume most people are like me
Speaker 1: and don't have air conditioning, so I just sweled it.
Speaker 1: And then I had Delilah, so I kept putting her
Speaker 1: under the hose to keep her cool.
Speaker 3: It was just a smoke show.
Speaker 2: Do you know what we did? If you want to
Speaker 2: really like, you want to test yourself in forty degree heat. No,
Speaker 2: we had our kids Christmas at their daycare Christmas party
Speaker 2: in Centennial Park at midday. Oh my god, I wouldn't
Speaker 2: have gone too hot. We did. We lasted one hour.
Speaker 2: I felt like I was swimming inside my own clothes.
Speaker 2: I've never been so warm when you can actually, you
Speaker 2: know when you see the heat in the air, like
Speaker 2: the air is different because it hits the pavement and
Speaker 2: comes off. When it's that hot, the air is different.
Speaker 2: Do you know whose weekend sucked more than ours did, though, Santa?
Speaker 2: Because Santa was at that daycare Christmas party. The whole
Speaker 2: man was dying. He literally looked like he was melting
Speaker 2: from the inside. I was like, you're gonna end up
Speaker 2: in hospital, Santa, and he was like, I think I am.
Speaker 2: I think I am the poor guy. Anyway, Well, my
Speaker 2: kids had a great time. My sweet was that I
Speaker 2: just had a really wholesome fitness weekend when I say,
Speaker 2: fitness weekend is like, I just did a lot.
Speaker 3: Of walking with Delilah, swimming in the ocean.
Speaker 2: I did ice bars, I did saunas, I did facial
Speaker 2: because I'm pre peacocking. Peacocking starts next week because I'm
Speaker 2: going overseas. So this is a pre peacock where you
Speaker 2: get the skin good, the glow that they're just a
Speaker 2: feel good on the inside.
Speaker 1: And then I'll do all the outside stuff like the
Speaker 1: brows or the lashes in the tan, but you know
Speaker 1: it starts from the inside.
Speaker 2: The hideous nails. Well, I'll be readoing those tomorrow if
Speaker 2: I have time. So my song for the week might
Speaker 2: be an overshare, but you know what, that's what we
Speaker 2: do here. That's something like you could be a little
Speaker 2: bit too much for some people, might not be enough
Speaker 2: for others. Who knows. You know, when you think you're
Speaker 2: at the end of your period, you know, when you
Speaker 2: think it's finished, you're like, oh, yeah, I'm done now.
Speaker 2: Don't need any sort of protection or safety mechanisms in menstruation. Yeah,
Speaker 2: what do you mean as in mens streams? I just
Speaker 2: wanted to confirm it wasn't like a period like at school,
Speaker 2: like a period dramas. Yeah, like i'd finished my period
Speaker 2: drama plan at home, been watching Yeah, yeah, like you exactly,
Speaker 2: the red flowing kind that comes monthly, right, just clarifying. Okay,
Speaker 2: so you know when you get to the end of
Speaker 2: it and you think it's finished, you're convinced because you've
Speaker 2: just done like a whole night. There's been nothing, you've
Speaker 2: done half a day, there's nothing, and you're like, cool,
Speaker 2: we're good, we're scott free. It's time to go. You know,
Speaker 2: el tamponi less, no tampon no, okay one else. That
Speaker 2: was me this morning. This morning, I was like, we're good,
Speaker 2: we're sweet, made it through the night. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 2: need it, And even if there is, it's just gonna
Speaker 2: be a little bit less. I'm the thing. Get in
Speaker 2: the car, go and pick up produced Keisha. She gets
Speaker 2: out of the car to go and get a coffee,
Speaker 2: and I it was like like a sprinkler just started
Speaker 2: in my pants.
Speaker 3: It was a fakey one eighty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it faked me. It just turned around and said, oh,
Speaker 2: you think I'm done? Yeah, it does. It doesn't on
Speaker 2: your toes. It's like psych here, I am. Well anyway,
Speaker 2: it's in my pants and I'll say that's my suck.
Speaker 2: And I really like these pants and now they're pretty ruined.
Speaker 2: But anyway, they're blue. But I thought they were tired eyed.
Speaker 2: But it's a period great tired I pants. It's a
Speaker 2: really interesting design. How it's just tied eight in the
Speaker 2: at the crutch.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've really just honed in on that area.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been like sunset anyway, So that's most suck.
Speaker 2: My sweet for the week is that my dad is
Speaker 2: in town. Terry Byrne is cute from Magnetic Island. He's
Speaker 2: been hanging out with the kids all weekend. He's staying
Speaker 2: at our house and this is the first time I
Speaker 2: think in maybe seven years my dad has stayed at
Speaker 2: my house. He always stays at my sister's house. So
Speaker 2: I wasn't sure how it was going to go. I
Speaker 2: was like, Wow, that's a lot of dad exposure time
Speaker 2: in a very short period of time. But it's been amazing.
Speaker 2: We've had the best time. We went to the RSL
Speaker 2: Club on Friday night. The kids have loved having granddad
Speaker 2: in town. Very wholesome family time. And he's here for
Speaker 2: a couple more nights and then he goes back to
Speaker 2: his Island. I do know that because it is in
Speaker 2: our joint diary. I Terry Burn is here, and I
Speaker 2: was like, thanks for daddy's in town. Yeah, but like
Speaker 2: literally yeah, no, Daddy visited and he metaphorically like sexy,
Speaker 2: just like your dad's here. No. But you know what
Speaker 2: is really weird And this could also be a bit
Speaker 2: of a suck because I call him Matt Daddy all
Speaker 2: the time because I'll say he no, stop the constation, ill, No,
Speaker 2: I call Matt Daddy, as in like for the girls,
Speaker 2: I'm like, you want to ask daddy, go and tell Daddy,
Speaker 2: you know, like, hey Daddy. No, I don't say it
Speaker 2: like that. I could, but I don't. I'll refer to
Speaker 2: him as daddy all the time. Anyway, we were at
Speaker 2: the RSL Club having dinner and I said to my
Speaker 2: own dad, hey Daddy, and it came out. I just
Speaker 2: died a little inside.
Speaker 3: I'm leating, like, oh, sorry, Daddy, Sorry Daddy.
Speaker 2: That was the weirdest thing. And it was weird for
Speaker 2: him and me. We both got this really uncomfortable uncomfortable
Speaker 2: for me. Also, I wanted him to pass the gravy
Speaker 2: and I said, hey, Daddy, that would be definitely a
Speaker 2: bedroom thing.
Speaker 3: Hey, Daddy passed me the gravy.
Speaker 2: Is it hot? Pull some gravy?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's hot. All right, On that note, let's get
Speaker 3: the fuck out.
