Speaker 2: we are, Laura are Do you know what I have today? Guys,
Speaker 2: I'm so excited. It's like a really big parenting milestone.
Speaker 2: This afternoon we have our very first orientation as parents
Speaker 2: for Marley's news school, because she starts school next year,
Speaker 2: big school, big school, she starts kindergarten. Surely that is
Speaker 2: a monumental day, purely because in the nicest way possible,
Speaker 2: like you get rid of all, like you don't have
Speaker 2: to have it all day, No, isn't it. Dope, parents
Speaker 2: get excited when they actually get their life back a
Speaker 2: little bit. I feel the opposite. Also, Marley already goes
Speaker 2: to daycare. I think I'm going to be really, really
Speaker 2: emotional next year when she starts big school. It's such
Speaker 2: a huge shift, Like I can't believe we're there already.
Speaker 2: But tonight is basically it's kind of it's not orientation
Speaker 2: for the kids. It's all the parents get together in
Speaker 2: the school hall and the principle like presents to the parents.
Speaker 2: It's really cute. I can't believe we're at this point already.
Speaker 3: Are you're emotional?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I feel really up. I'm just excited. I think
Speaker 2: like we're ready. She's ready for that next part in
Speaker 2: that X phase, and I feel like we're ready to Well, guys,
Speaker 2: I do want to have an important conversation about breast
Speaker 2: check Day, but not just any boobs.
Speaker 4: I want to talk about my boobs.
Speaker 2: I love talking about your boobs, Brit. It's weird anyway,
Speaker 2: well gorgeous.
Speaker 3: It's a showy every month we conduct breast check Day,
Speaker 3: and then you've got some personal asside to it.
Speaker 1: Britt.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have boobs and I want to talk about them.
Speaker 3: How many do you have?
Speaker 4: Too?
Speaker 3: Two of them? Good on you? All right, that's next
Speaker 3: on the pickup. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 4: Hey guys.
Speaker 2: It is the first of the month today, which means
Speaker 2: it is breast check Day, something that we've started in
Speaker 2: our own little family to bring awareness to get you
Speaker 2: guys that are listening to pay attention to your own bodies.
Speaker 2: But today I want to talk a little bit about
Speaker 2: my own breasts.
Speaker 1: Was waiting for some people get excited about that.
Speaker 2: I'm joking. This is something that's serious, though, Britt. Now
Speaker 2: we also know how serious it's been for you.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, So let me just set this up.
Speaker 1: I have started since, just particularly since we've been talking
Speaker 1: about it more here as well, I've started to do
Speaker 1: my own breast checks constantly, and a couple of months ago,
Speaker 1: and I'm ashamed to say months, but a couple of
Speaker 1: months ago, I felt this lump in my breast, in
Speaker 1: my left breast, and I was like, that's weird, but
Speaker 1: you know, breasts are so fatty and lumpy anyway, so
Speaker 1: I was like, it's probably nothing, start on it for
Speaker 1: a little while, and then felt it again a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks later, and kept feeling it, but then I
Speaker 1: was touching it so much that it started to hurt.
Speaker 1: And then I couldn't figure out if I was getting
Speaker 1: breast pain or if I was getting pain from like
Speaker 1: poking it.
Speaker 3: And you said that to us too here in the studio.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's just so annoying because I advocate for,
Speaker 2: you know, looking after your own health all the time.
Speaker 2: I worked in a hospital for thirteen years. I know,
Speaker 2: I know how important it is. Yet I just kept
Speaker 2: putting it off.
Speaker 4: And I went and stayed over with a friend and
Speaker 4: another city, and.
Speaker 1: It just came up in conversation and she's like, well,
Speaker 1: have you had your boobs checked yet and I was like, no,
Speaker 1: I haven't. I need to get to it. She's like,
Speaker 1: how long's it been there, I'm a couple of months.
Speaker 1: She was like, you need to go and get that check,
Speaker 1: like you should know better. And she's like, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: message you every single day until you get it. Anyway,
Speaker 1: bless her, she did, and it took me another week
Speaker 1: or so. She messaged me every day and I said, no,
Speaker 1: I haven't checked yet, and I haven't checked. Finally, purely
Speaker 1: because of her, I was like, oh my god, I'll
Speaker 1: go and get it checked. So I went and got
Speaker 1: it checked at the GPE specialist woman's doctor like women's
Speaker 1: health doctor. And immediately she was like, oh, yes, I
Speaker 1: can feel that, and she's like I can actually feel
Speaker 1: some stuff on the other side as well, like on
Speaker 1: the other boob, and I was like wow, okay.
Speaker 4: She's like you need to go and get it checked
Speaker 4: and I was like sure.
Speaker 1: She was like, now, and I don't want anyone to
Speaker 1: think that I have breast cancer.
Speaker 2: I do not, but you think that. You always think
Speaker 2: it's not gonna happen to you, so you don't put
Speaker 2: the urgency on it. So I went straight to get
Speaker 2: the ultrasound, and long story short, I'm absolutely riddled with
Speaker 2: cysts in both breast, like so many cysts, and I
Speaker 2: had to wait a few days to find out if
Speaker 2: anything was going to be nasty in there or if
Speaker 2: there's anything hiding because there were so many cysts that
Speaker 2: they can cover if there's anything bad in the tissue.
Speaker 2: So it was like a really scary couple of days,
Speaker 2: being like I'm thirty seven, There's definitely been things that
Speaker 2: I've felt my breast, they've seen them, and those couple
Speaker 2: of days waiting was really scary, and I'm very grateful
Speaker 2: to say it came back as all normal cys. But
Speaker 2: now I have to get checked every single twelve months
Speaker 2: because things can change very drastically. But also like it's
Speaker 2: one of those things where if you don't advocate for
Speaker 2: your own health, I mean, you're so lucky that you
Speaker 2: had a friend who reminded you every day and everested,
Speaker 2: but not everybody has that person in their life. And
Speaker 2: if you're not going to take responsibility for your own health,
Speaker 2: if you're not going to book the appointment for that
Speaker 2: thing that's been niggling that you've been concerned about, or
Speaker 2: that you notice what there was a change with, Like,
Speaker 2: that's on you. You have to do those things. And
Speaker 2: we spoke about it earlier in the year. My stepdaddy
Speaker 2: passed away from prostate cancer and he hit there were
Speaker 2: signs for so long, Yeah, and he gnored going and
Speaker 2: getting those screening tests done. And I mean, that's just
Speaker 2: one thing. You don't ever want to live with the
Speaker 2: regret that you waited too long because you're too busy
Speaker 2: or other things took priority. If there is something to
Speaker 2: be reminded about from this, it's it's to check your
Speaker 2: breast and if you've something changes, go and booking your
Speaker 2: health screening. Well, that's what I want to say, because
Speaker 2: you think that you're wasting people's time, in doctor's time,
Speaker 2: but you're absolutely not.
Speaker 1: And I don't want to be dramatic, but the difference
Speaker 1: in a couple of months. If mine was nasty, I
Speaker 1: put that off for nearly three months. Like if that
Speaker 1: was nasty, that would have become nasty. So if you're
Speaker 1: in the car right now, if you're at home, grab
Speaker 1: your breast, have a feel, have a poke.
Speaker 3: Grab men too. Men can happen to men as well.
Speaker 2: Let me the first of every month. Let it be
Speaker 2: the day that you remind yourself put it in your
Speaker 2: calendar to check your breast.
Speaker 3: Yep, agreed, all right. Next on a liner, note not
Speaker 3: that boobs aren't light, because.
Speaker 2: They're very Actually unless your breast fed a couple of
Speaker 2: kids and then feel it ad.
Speaker 3: Break, I'm actually should I compare the pair?
Speaker 2: No, let's no, thank you, that's not.
Speaker 3: Okay, don't shame me. You're all happy to talk about boobweite.
Speaker 2: I would like to speak to HR now that you've
Speaker 2: brought that up.
Speaker 3: We have a show. We have to have HR here.
Speaker 2: MIT's what they'll doing break you know what?
Speaker 3: I don't know who? No, I do know exactly when
Speaker 3: did you get revenge on someone you work with. We've
Speaker 3: all worked in, you know, customer facing jobs and we've
Speaker 3: all had those annoying customers or coworkers that really get
Speaker 3: under your skin. And it's the little moments that you
Speaker 3: can take to get back at them. It's the petty stuff,
Speaker 3: so sweet. And there's a story that's happen in Australia
Speaker 3: that you're gonna love. That's next after your traffic. A
Speaker 3: story that came across my desk is so petty. It
Speaker 3: is so us. It is perfect for the show. A
Speaker 3: woman in Australia. She's young, she's seventeen, she's working a
Speaker 3: casual job. She's trying to make ends meet. She's going
Speaker 3: to Uni. She's going to this ice cream shop on
Speaker 3: her weekends and after school to make some money. Yeah,
Speaker 3: good on her.
Speaker 4: Hang on, So she works at an ice cream shop.
Speaker 3: Correct, she's young, she's making money.
Speaker 2: This is We're seventeen.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's Friday afternoon. I'm a boy. We all have
Speaker 3: worked in customer facing jobs or had coworkers that we hate.
Speaker 3: She shared this story on TikTok of this real bastard
Speaker 3: of a customer who'd come in and was blatantly rude,
Speaker 3: no eye contact, wasn't giving her anything, wasn't nice, just
Speaker 3: had that aura of like rude. Yeah, just like a
Speaker 3: real rudy. So she said, this happens a lot. Her
Speaker 3: only form of rebellion and empowering herself back is when
Speaker 3: she scoops the ice cream for bad customers. You know
Speaker 3: how there's like ice cream sized with heaps of toppings
Speaker 3: and you can kind of see it that it's full
Speaker 3: of bits and chunks and chocolate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like all the good bits the cookie dough.
Speaker 3: Yep, yep. So say they order like a cookie dough,
Speaker 3: she will purposely make a scoop that dodgers all the
Speaker 3: chunks and all the cookie and all the chocolate and
Speaker 3: give them just a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Speaker 2: She gives them exactly what they deserve. See when I
Speaker 2: used to work in cafes, if I had someone who
Speaker 2: was rude, I would always just choose the smallest of
Speaker 2: the things. So if it was like a piece of brownie,
Speaker 2: or if it was a muffin or whatever it was,
Speaker 2: I would always pick the one that was the littlest one,
Speaker 2: and that's what they got.
Speaker 3: See when I used to work at Cole's, when I
Speaker 3: was a checkout check I had the highest scan rate
Speaker 3: in the Southern region. I was very good. I if
Speaker 3: someone was really rude while I was checking them out,
Speaker 3: this is bad, but I would double scan, like protein.
Speaker 2: Items, but you would, you would change them twice. Yep, me,
Speaker 2: But I can see that on a receipt, no one
Speaker 2: checks the receipt.
Speaker 3: And also they're boomers. They're confused that I know. So
Speaker 3: you just do a double scan. Amanda message and said, hey, guys,
Speaker 3: I work at a deli when rude customers would buy
Speaker 3: mixed chicken pieces, I would only give them the wings.
Speaker 2: Oh, you'd be devoted if you got home and you
Speaker 2: wanted a breast zero legs. So sad. Oh Grace has said,
Speaker 2: I am a barista and I will give rude customers
Speaker 2: decaf coffee even if they haven't asked for it.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. That is manipulation because you don't realize
Speaker 3: someone's got ashes Ashwicks. Oh, Ashwicks's called oh celebrity podcast
Speaker 3: or ash week.
Speaker 2: Oh I know this man, Hi.
Speaker 5: Ash, Hello, guys. I'm more of a psychological revenge sort
Speaker 5: of guy.
Speaker 4: What did you do?
Speaker 5: I used to work in a tubia to shout out
Speaker 5: to them, they said, if they are listening? And I
Speaker 5: used to share a desk with a guy so so
Speaker 5: side by side with a pole in the middle of
Speaker 5: it underneath just to hold the desk up. And over
Speaker 5: the three years that I worked there, because he drove
Speaker 5: me crazy. The whole time, I slowly moved, I'd undrill
Speaker 5: or unscrew the leg and I would slightly move it
Speaker 5: closer and closer to him so that his workspace got
Speaker 5: smaller and smaller.
Speaker 2: That's so much dedication. It's a real long game, isn't it.
Speaker 5: It was three years. I used to do it. I
Speaker 5: used to do it like I used to work on
Speaker 5: a Saturday morning and he wasn't there, so I was like, perfect,
Speaker 5: get in under there, unscrew it, move it just a
Speaker 5: tiny bit. And then on the day that I left,
Speaker 5: I finally broke the news to him, And then he'd
Speaker 5: realized that how cramped he was on this tiny desk,
Speaker 5: And if you looked underneath the desk, he would see
Speaker 5: all of the screw holes from when I started when
Speaker 5: I finished three years later.
Speaker 1: So not only you're committing for three years, you're also
Speaker 1: clocking extra hours. You've also got to go into work
Speaker 1: early before he gets there.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, I was dedicated to the game.
Speaker 2: Guy.
Speaker 5: I actually used to. I used because you can set
Speaker 5: an alarm on someone's iPhone without a lock, and he
Speaker 5: at the time he had three kids under three, and
Speaker 5: I used to set his alarm for two am.
Speaker 2: That is way worse than making his workspace smaller. You're
Speaker 2: a bud, that's so bad.
Speaker 3: You're listen to him so proud of his work.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The thing I'm more worried about is the fact that
Speaker 2: Ash now works alongside my husband, probably with him right now,
Speaker 2: So like now I know, now, I know what's going
Speaker 2: to happen in.
Speaker 5: Your house like two or three times a week because
Speaker 5: it's that workspace. I know.
Speaker 2: Well, please don't do any more than your hit.
Speaker 4: That's true.
Speaker 3: That's another topic, right, doting dads, give it a thank you,
Speaker 3: no worries, Ash, I got your buddy.
Speaker 2: Well, coming up, I want to talk about micro cheating. Now.
Speaker 2: Did you guys see what happened in the on the
Speaker 2: Block earlier this week?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't, but I read some gossip. All right.
Speaker 2: Well, look there was a little bit of a cheating scandal.
Speaker 2: Now I don't know whether you call it cheating or not,
Speaker 2: because nothing actually happened, but what you might call it
Speaker 2: is micro cheating. And we're going to talk about how
Speaker 2: you can figure out whether or not your partner's doing
Speaker 2: the dirty on you. All right, next on the pickup, guys,
Speaker 2: I am a blockhead, right, I love the Block. I've
Speaker 2: watched every episode this season. I didn't think that what
Speaker 2: you meant by blockhead, there's not much going on up there.
Speaker 2: I was like, what, No, I'm a blockhead. I love
Speaker 2: the Block and this week, something huge happened. There was
Speaker 2: a well, I don't know whether you'd call it cheating,
Speaker 2: but there was an almost cheating scandal. If you missed it.
Speaker 2: This happened on The Block earlier this week. I was
Speaker 2: flirting with Mimy. Kylie overheard them, and D's like, oh,
Speaker 2: you know, i'd follow your only fans.
Speaker 3: I read about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, if you missed it. Basically, Kylie and Brad
Speaker 2: are in a relationship together, Mimi has an entirely different partner.
Speaker 2: She's building another house, and Brad said to Mimy that
Speaker 2: he would follow her only fans if she had one,
Speaker 2: and his wife, who he has four children with, overheard it. Now,
Speaker 2: I don't understand why you would go on a show
Speaker 2: as big as The Block and then act like that
Speaker 2: and think that it's not going to come out. Well,
Speaker 2: I think it kind of happened when they thought it
Speaker 2: was off Mike, and they thought it was off camera
Speaker 2: because like the camera angles and stuff made it look
Speaker 2: like it was really not supposed to be filmed how naive,
Speaker 2: and Kylie was asleep at the time, but she woke
Speaker 2: up and overheard it. So it's an absolute just mess
Speaker 2: of a situation right, But there's been lots of articles
Speaker 2: coming out and lots of questionings as to weather or
Speaker 2: not this is actually cheating. You know, obviously it's not
Speaker 2: the right thing to do. But can you get away
Speaker 2: with a bit of flirting in your relationship?
Speaker 3: Okay, it's not cheating, it's not cheating cheating. It's pretty
Speaker 3: close too, No, it's not.
Speaker 1: It comes under a term of that people call micro cheating.
Speaker 1: Micro cheating is those little things that it deemed inappropriate
Speaker 1: for whatever you and your relationship deems inappropriate. What are
Speaker 1: your relationship boundaries that constitute cheating? Because for some people,
Speaker 1: cheating is only physical, but for other people, cheating is
Speaker 1: formula an emotional relationship. I don't think this is classified
Speaker 1: as cheating. It's inappropriate and it's disrespectful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but for me personally, I'd be shattered, especially because
Speaker 2: they everyone knows each other and it's embarrassing on national television.
Speaker 4: But for me, it's not cheating yet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think if you're in a long term relationship,
Speaker 3: you and your partner need to have had the discussion
Speaker 3: about what these things mean to you.
Speaker 1: What chet?
Speaker 3: What is cheating? Can you flirt? Can you some couples,
Speaker 3: and you know, gay couples do it very well. They're
Speaker 3: very open in these discussions and a lot a lot
Speaker 3: of my friends are happy to have a party kiss
Speaker 3: on a dance floor, And that doesn't mean the relationship's
Speaker 3: over because it means a lot to one person, but
Speaker 3: it doesn't to the other. So you have to if
Speaker 3: you communicate it. You can't get into these issues.
Speaker 2: Oh, I know, but I reckon. There'd be so many
Speaker 2: people if they heard their partner do this, and also
Speaker 2: the humiliation of it being on national live TV.
Speaker 4: So that's what I said.
Speaker 1: I said, it's humiliating, disrespectful. But that's not the question.
Speaker 1: The question is is it cheating or is it micro cheating?
Speaker 3: Like if you were Matt. Laura spoken about what micro
Speaker 3: cheating would be if Matt was it an event. Matt
Speaker 3: is a very popular, a well known person in his country.
Speaker 3: If he's at a red carpet, Mattie j oh my husband,
Speaker 3: and he is it a red carpet and you see
Speaker 3: footage of him complimenting, I don't know a model and
Speaker 3: an actress and he's like, God, you look gorgeous tonight.
Speaker 3: If I don't know, what would micro cheating for you
Speaker 3: and Matt look like, is what I'm trying to ask.
Speaker 2: If it's something that he can't say in front of
Speaker 2: me to another woman and he says to another woman, Oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: I would love to follow your only fans account, Like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I would feel like there would be a real level
Speaker 2: of me. I wouldn't call it cheating, but I absolutely,
Speaker 2: as you said, Britt would feel so disrespected and I
Speaker 2: would feel so humiliated, which I'm not sure which is better?
Speaker 2: Do you know what i mean? Like they're both just
Speaker 2: as bad as each other in some ways.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But then also is Matt going to the pub
Speaker 3: with his boys and talking about things like that he
Speaker 3: wants to do if you are other women? Is that
Speaker 3: micro cheating? But you've just never heard it Matt never.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think everyone has a different benchmark,
Speaker 2: and I do think that sometimes it's important to pay
Speaker 2: attention to those things that could be deemed micro cheating,
Speaker 2: things like why won't your partner ever post photos off
Speaker 2: you on social media? Why won't they like say they're
Speaker 2: in a relationship on social media? Why are they texting
Speaker 2: their work colleague all the time, and and you know,
Speaker 2: confiding in them all your relationship problems.
Speaker 3: Yeah, why is there red panties in their sports band?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean that might be more akin to actually cheating,
Speaker 2: but I think with micro cheating there are lots of
Speaker 2: little signs that can sometimes add up to be something
Speaker 2: that's much bigger and more of a problem. Praying for you,
Speaker 2: for the people in the block you made, for people,
Speaker 2: for Matt, Matt as well.
Speaker 3: I'm just praying for Shelley Kraft, poor thing that would
Speaker 3: have broken her heart.
Speaker 2: She's okay. I think Kylie, the woman who had happened
Speaker 2: to is a bit more upset, but anyway. Yeah, look
Speaker 2: that's it from us. Guys. Will and Woodie will be
Speaker 2: driving your home.
Speaker 3: Yep, they're on next We'll see you all Monday. Have
Speaker 3: a good weekend, see guys,
