WEBVTT - The best of the pick up 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.200 This episode was recorded on Cameragle Land. 0:00:07.120 --> 0:00:07.800 Hi guys, and. 0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:10.240 Welcome back to another episode of Life Uncut. I'm Laura, 0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:13.240 I'm Brittany, and this is our radio show where we 0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:15.800 package up all the best bits from the Pickup throughout 0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:17.880 the week, our national radio show, and we bring it 0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:20.240 here so that you don't have to listen to the radio. 0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:23.320 We want to listen to the radio though, Yeah, because 0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:25.439 you know there's ads and you should listen to those as. 0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:27.840 Well, because we're on radio, and that's also important. 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:30.720 I love this bit because we get to package up 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.240 the ones that we like doing the best, like little 0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:34.880 bits and pieces and the stories that we don't share 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:36.640 in the pod that are great. Yeah. 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:39.160 And we had an important chat this week that I liked, 0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:42.360 but about my sister Sherry and experience that she had 0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:44.920 been a new mum breastfeeding on a train. 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:46.400 And it was sort of off the back. 0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:49.120 Of a TikToker who was posting about her experience being 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:51.960 heavily pregnant on a pack train and the idea of 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:54.720 chivalry being dead and no one offering their seats anymore 0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:57.600 for pregnant women, and it is a very interesting discussion. 0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:00.320 Yeah, and I do think like off the back. The 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:02.680 more I thought about it, And I'm not saying this 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.280 because I'm pregnant. I don't think that I personally have 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:09.520 had any negative experiences, but I think that the pendulum 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:11.480 kind of was in one direction, Like there was a 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:15.200 lot of support and chivalry around women being pregnant and 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:18.160 being helpful, and now I think that we are sort 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:20.160 of as a society, we're a little bit more closed 0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:22.399 off to being helpful to people. And when you were 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:26.920 talking about what Sherry experienced, it's a very sad outcome. 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:29.399 But I also am not particularly surprised by it. Put 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:31.440 it that way, Yeah, well I. 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:32.440 Was surprised by it. 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:35.040 I didn't think we'd gone down the Google like that anyway, 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:35.800 that's all coming on. 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:38.320 Well, look, I also shared a story on the show 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:43.119 about something that Marley overshared at school about me. So 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:46.240 I had a very funny and interesting conversation with one 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:49.240 of the after school care teachers about a particular picture 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:52.520 that Marley had drawn, which was very generous and very kind. 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:54.600 And let me tell you, it is not going on 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:55.480 the fridge that one. 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:57.680 It's funny because you think that, like the overshare in 0:01:57.680 --> 0:01:59.960 the situation is going to be you being my national 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:01.360 radio podcasting. 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:02.400 But she trumped you. 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:04.480 And you know what, I also think I've deserved this 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:06.840 because I've told so many stories about my kids that 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:08.720 she was just like, fuck, mum, you know what, I've 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:10.440 got one up on you ll not that she knows. 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:11.440 She doesn't listen to the pod. 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:13.240 Do you know what she knows? But she knows that 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:15.600 I know the limit. Mostly I think I know the limit. 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:16.760 I think you've given a lot of credit. 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:22.920 Let's get into it. There is an etiquette when it 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:25.240 comes to Facebook marketplace right, Like it's kind of an 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:28.560 unspoken etiquette about how you interact with the buyer and 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:30.200 the seller and what you do when you've got to 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.640 pick the thing up from their house and X y Z, 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:35.639 Like I think most people know how to be when 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:36.919 it comes to bask like a place. 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:39.720 It's pretty annoying though, like how many conversations you have 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:42.359 about how much something is? Can you do a better price? 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:44.280 You talk to them for like where are you when's 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:45.880 a good time? Talked to them for three days about 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:47.680 picking up something for twenty bucks and then they're like 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:49.840 not and then they go then they got yeah, and 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:51.480 you're like just wasting my life. 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:54.360 We were talking about funny experiences that we'd had off 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.080 the back of it, because everyone's had like a bit 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.440 of a cooked experience if you've used it enough times. 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:01.520 I had something happened recently where I wasn't even selling it. 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:03.200 I was giving away a coffee table. I was like, 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.600 just someone come and take this coffee table off my hands. 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.480 And this man came into my house. I was there 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:11.160 with the kids, Matt wasn't home. He comes into the house. 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.880 Forty five minutes later, he is still in my house 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:18.160 having a chat. Lovely English guy. He's moving to Australia. 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.079 Just give me his life story. Maybe he's trying to 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.760 make some new friends. Maybe he was talking about his wife. 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:24.359 His wife was having a baby. Then he wanted to 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:25.919 know about the dog. And I was like, please just 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:27.600 take the coffee table and get out of my house. 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:28.520 I'll pay you to go. 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:30.880 Yeah. I was like, I'll give you the twenty dollars 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:32.760 to lead an. I had to pretend like I needed 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:33.959 to go and have a shower and that the kids 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:35.720 need a nat. My kid's full. She doesn't n ask. 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:38.360 He's like, I'll watch the kids, want you shall But 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:42.080 there was one story that came up producer Grace here 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.920 she is, I don't think that anyone could top the 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.400 Facebook marketplace story that you had. There was a lot 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:50.440 of trust that was put in you. Yes there was. 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.800 But my wife, Diana, she is the sort of person 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:57.040 that gets really into hobbies and just loves buying everything 0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:58.800 before she's even had to go at it. Yeah, so 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:00.520 a couple of weeks ago she was like, I want 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.360 to get really into surfing. Has never surfed in her life, 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:05.440 and she was like, this is my thing now. So 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.040 he organized this meet up to get this surfboard off 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:10.400 Facebook marketplace. The guy was like, you know what, I'm 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:12.360 actually out for the day, but I'm going to pop 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.920 it next to this table blah blah blah in the garage. 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:17.520 And I was like, great, We're sweet. We drove an 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:19.359 hour and a half there. How much was he charging 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:21.599 for us surfboard in the garage? 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:24.520 Down south? Down south? 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.279 But it was a good price, good price, great. 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:30.039 Surfboard looked good for beginners. We're like, were set and 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.120 I was like, I will indulge you this once, but 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.760 this will be the last surfboard you're buying anyway. So 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.520 we get there, find the surfboard exactly where he said, 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.280 next to the table. And then we're like, okay, it's 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:42.640 not going to fit in the car. We're going to 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.560 have to rope it to the roof. So we're in 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:48.240 the kind of mentality of if he can't tie knots 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:50.360 tie lots, so we have like. 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:52.800 S that's the saying. 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.760 So we've tied it all down. We're driving back on 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:58.440 the freeway. We're like, we've nailed this, but then the 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:00.160 surfboard starts flapping. 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:03.040 Yep, the wind that gets under the surfboard on the 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:05.440 roof of your car. We're about to lose this surfboard 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:08.320 that we've just purchased. My wife's new hobby, who's. 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:11.839 So excited about it. It's flapping, it's flapping, and we're 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.600 like heart thumping. You can't even pull over because it's 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:18.119 like a bit on a highway. So we get home 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:21.040 and we just made it. There's like ropes flying everywhere, 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:24.040 and we're like, this is so dangerous. I cannot believe 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:26.320 that we've made it back with this surfboard. Take a 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:27.800 picture of it to send it to the guy and go, 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:28.640 thank you so much. 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:29.360 We just made it. 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:29.680 A bit. 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.919 Know where this is going. He sent back, that's not 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:40.760 my surfboard. He just stole some. We accidentally we went 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:41.760 into the garage. 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:43.240 It was exactly where he said, but it was his 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.159 roommate's surfboard. 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:49.040 Stole someone's surfboard, so it was the right I thought 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:50.520 you'd into the wrong house. 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:55.120 Yes, no, it was the roommate's surfboard, much fancier than 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:55.560 the one. 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:56.080 We were picking up. 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:58.280 We were like, we've got that. 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:00.800 You have to drive it back. Had to drive all 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:01.280 the way back. 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:03.440 We learned how to tie nots the second time around, 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.080 so at least the surfboard. 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.080 Stayed attached to the car. I'm just imagining you're getting 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.360 this surfboard back. It's so bad enoughter being tired to 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:11.200 a couple of roof racksy like, there it is, give 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:12.920 me the other one. It's a trade up. 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.680 When I stole that dog from the person's car. 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:22.920 From Memphs, you thought we were saving it. 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:23.760 I thought it was. 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:26.280 Lost and I took it from the lawn and I 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:28.040 was like, don't worry, sweet angel, I'm. 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.360 Gonna save you. I had to flick two days. 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:31.560 It turns out. 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.920 When I finally contacted the owner, he was so grateful. 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.159 He was like, thank you so much for being worried sick, 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:38.240 and I was like, tell me where you live or 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:39.760 drop it back. He gave me his address and I 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:39.960 was like. 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:41.440 Pretty sure that's where I took it from. 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:45.240 And I was like, you're welcome, Like it's crazy out there, 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:45.880 be careful. 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:47.760 Took the dog back, mortified. 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:51.839 So good grace. When you first held that story, I 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.320 thought you'd gone into the wrong house, but you didn't 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:57.120 have a choice returning it since you so evidently took 0:06:57.120 --> 0:07:01.320 the wrong one. Now there is debate that's erupting online 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:04.719 at the moment, and off the back of doing my 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:07.920 gender reveal on this show only a couple of weeks ago, 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:09.960 I feel like the timing is quite interesting. 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:10.560 Now. 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:14.520 I understand that for some couples, gender disappointment is a 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:17.360 very very real thing, and wanting to be able to 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:19.760 choose whether you have a girl or a boy in 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:23.320 some instances ideally would be something that some parents would 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:26.040 like to explore. I know that when Matt found out 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:29.440 that he was having my husband a third baby girl, 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:31.520 there was a little bit of him that had a 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:34.160 moment of sadness, and we spoke about it on the show. 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.800 He's thrilled to be a dad to another girl. But 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.640 at the same time, I think he always expected that 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:41.480 he would also be a dad to a boy and 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:43.360 that's not going to happen for him now unless he 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:45.160 does it with another woman at some point down the track. 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:47.480 But the reason why we're talking about this is because 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.040 there's a content creator. Her name is Caitlin Bailey. She's 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:52.400 a single mum. She's got three kids, two of them 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:55.320 are boys, and she has one girl now. She's just 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:58.320 paid forty five thousand dollars to go overseas and do 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:01.920 gender selection on an IVF treatment where you can choose 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.240 the gender of your unborn child. There's a lot of 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.280 moral debates surrounding this because it's something that's currently still 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:08.480 illegal in Australia. 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.040 Yea, And I think she was maybe a bit taken 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:14.360 aback about the pushback against it because she was pretty 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:16.920 open about her story talking about it, and I think 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.720 that the public's response has quite shocked her. 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:21.040 She has said, if. 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.320 We've got the technology that allows us to do this 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:26.360 and it's not hurting anybody, I don't understand why it's 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:29.440 not an option here in Australia because sex selection of 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:31.800 your embryos is illegal in Australia. 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:33.679 It's not an option. You can't do it. 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.560 You absolutely cannot choose to test which sex you want 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:38.360 and to implant it. But there are a lot of 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.600 countries overseas America you can do it. 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:43.000 So this is why she spend forty five thousand dollars to. 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:43.439 Go and do it. 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:45.920 She feels like she needs to balance her family. 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:48.160 But the idea of her saying I don't understand why 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:51.000 it can't be done here, I do think she hasn't 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.839 thought about the broader issues surrounding this. And there have 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:55.800 been a few people off the back of this debate 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:56.040 that have. 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:57.080 Made some really good points. 0:08:57.640 --> 0:08:59.800 There's no guarantee that you might have a child a 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:03.120 signed female at birth who later identifies as trade totally, 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:03.720 I don't know. 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:06.320 I mean there's other things in this as well. Obviously, 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.600 in some cultures having a boy is more desirable, so 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:12.920 it might create like an unequal gender population which would 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:16.000 cause issues down the track. But also I mean, as 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:18.720 a mum of two little girls and I'm now having 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:21.520 a third little girl, even if I had the opportunity 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:24.120 to select the gender of my children, I wouldn't And 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:26.840 the reason for that is is because I feel as 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:30.160 though it puts so much pressure on that child to 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:32.520 be the specific gender that you wanted. It puts so 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:35.480 much pressure on whatever you thought that relationship was going 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:37.439 to be or that dynamic was going to be. Like 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:39.720 just because you have a little boy, doesn't mean they're 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:41.640 going to be into little boy things, doesn't mean they're 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:44.840 going to be a little quote unquote traditional little boy, 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:47.400 and vice versa. The same for a girl. And I 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:49.440 guess I come to it now as a mum of 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:53.400 two girls, both of which are completely different children, Like 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:56.480 both my girls are so so different, and so I 0:09:56.480 --> 0:10:00.040 feel as though I've had two different experiences of motherhood 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.880 with them individually, because there's such their own, little unique 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:06.480 people that I don't feel as though I'm missing out 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.480 on something by not having a boy. I guess the 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:13.360 thing is in our in all cultures, really, gender becomes 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.960 something that people are so fixated on, and this idea 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.880 of having a balanced family, to think that you have 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.320 two little boys at home and a little girl at home, 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:23.360 that that's something you can't be happy with because you 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:25.880 don't have a balance, Like families aren't perfect. And I 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:27.840 kind of hate the way that the terminology is being 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:28.400 built around this. 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:30.960 To be honest, it doesn't bother me that she's done it. 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:33.720 What else I found interesting is off the back of that, 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:35.719 there's also discussions about the fact that a lot of 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:38.640 people think you shouldn't genetically test your embryos. They think 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:41.880 that that well, they think that even that comes down 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:45.560 to like a type of selection, Whereas I will disagree 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:47.840 with that. I have my own embryos that I have 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:51.240 genetically tested, and there's a reason for it. I have 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:54.120 had embryos that had things wrong with them and couldn't 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.120 and didn't survive, and if they were implanted in me 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:58.000 there would have been a danger to us both and 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.600 a high risk of miscarriage. So these kind of things, 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:04.280 genetically testing is just doing the best thing for mother 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:07.040 and child in the future and to reduce help reduce 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:08.720 things like a risk of miscarriage. 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:10.640 So I would like fight that argument. 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:12.559 I agree, but I think these are two different things. 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.680 Genetic testing is something that happens during pregnancy anyway. You know, 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:18.040 you have your I just had my twenty one week 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:20.280 morphology scans, you know, so I'm going to find out 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:23.400 if everything's tracking long fine, you have your NIPT scan 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:25.520 to make sure that your blood works and everything's fine. 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:28.400 And that's so that mums can have a greater control 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:31.800 over the life that they're going to live and also 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.080 over the quality of life that that child's going to have. 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:38.840 But this conversation around gender and choosing a gender, that's 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:42.320 not a disorder, that's not a chromosomal abnormality. That's not 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:45.240 something that's where the baby's not developing in the way 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:45.840 that it should. 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:47.320 It's a family aesthetic choice. 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.079 It's an aesthetic yeah, or it's an experience. Don't get 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:52.439 me wrong, I'm not outraged by it. I don't care 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:54.839 enough to be like jumping on the pylon of this. 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.840 I just think for me, if I had the choice, 0:11:57.880 --> 0:11:59.840 I wouldn't explore it. I think it's a lot of 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:01.880 need to pay for something that's very specific that you 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:02.760 don't have control over. 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:06.440 Anyway, there's a video that came up on my feed 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:10.200 that had been absolutely hysterics. I do want to preface 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.520 this by saying I believed it at the start. I 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:14.280 had to go and do a deep dive to find 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:16.640 out it was a print call. But it's this five 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:19.880 year old Irish girl that calls the demolition company in 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:21.480 Ireland to knock a school down. 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:22.800 Have a listen to this. 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:24.760 Hello, how are you? 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:25.760 My name's Becky. 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:28.880 Yes, I have a proposal for you. 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:30.560 Go ahead. 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:34.800 Are you the demolition man, Yes, he's the top boss. 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:35.920 Yeah, go ahead. 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:37.360 What's okay? 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:38.280 Hello? 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:41.040 I want you to help me destroy my school. 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:43.160 Do you want to blow up? 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:44.480 Couldn't blow it up? 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:45.280 Or knock it down? 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.760 Whatever, whatever you want done, and you just make. 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:50.640 Sure that they're all in the building when you. 0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:52.640 Knock it down, you put all the names on us. 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:53.679 I give you a. 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:59.320 Brilliant It's like a ten minute call where she's saying, like, 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:00.800 my teachers, may we do homework? 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:02.000 Knocked the school down. 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:05.079 The demolition companies in like absolute hysterics. 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:07.800 But it made me think, have your kids ever done this. 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:10.240 Where they've called someone accidentally or they've. 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:12.360 Got I mean, my kids are not like they're not 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:14.240 that age, Like they're not at an age where they 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:17.240 can live. Yeah, but five is not old enough to 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:18.600 be like, do you know what, I'm gonna call a 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:21.320 demolition company and get them to knock the school down. 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:23.719 I also don't thinks it, so I don't they're they're 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:26.199 filled with that much hatred. But look, I do think 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:29.040 their kids do things with phones and they'll they'll call people, 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:31.920 but they don't always understand the repercussions of what they're doing. 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:35.880 We had one instance about six months ago, so Marley 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:37.880 would have just been five or five and a half, 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:40.280 and she was with her cousins and they were playing 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:42.600 on a payphone. Her cousins are all similar age, and 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:44.880 I was like, what are they doing? And I could 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:46.920 see that they were laughing really hard about it, and 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:48.560 I was like, oh, I don't like that. I walked 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:51.560 over and they just called Triple zero and someone had 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:55.040 answered the phone, and I obviously I gave them the 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:58.080 full schooling on why that was so problematic. And she 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:00.200 was so upset because she didn't really understand what it 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.600 was that she'd done, Like she had no comprehension about 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:06.439 the magnitude of why that's a problem you funny, No, 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:08.800 she literally they just pressed some buttons and then someone 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:10.400 answered it and they you know, and she was like, 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:13.280 it's the police, Like she didn't know what was going on. 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.240 But like I remember being a kid and doing prank 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.560 calls and thinking I was so funny. I'd call my 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:21.640 neighbor I'd pretend to be someone really confused OLGA. 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:23.560 At the time, prank calls gave mem anxiety. 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:25.080 I couldn't do them. I couldn't even do a knock 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.040 and run. I was like a pretty goodie two show. 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:29.080 Yeah, where one of those radio shows that can't do 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:32.160 prank calls because everybody freaks out and freezes up. No, 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.480 it's true. Well, look, actually we've got some calls coming through. 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:37.080 Speaking of nat, who did your kids call? 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:40.680 Oh my goodness. It was the most traumatic experience with. 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:41.520 My adult life. 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:45.720 I think had at the time six and a half 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:48.200 year old daughter, and you know hashtag mom life. I 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.680 hadn't been in the working game for a while, and 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:53.280 I finally got a gig for this new job, and 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:55.160 the first thing they asked me to do was a 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:58.480 FaceTime call with about seven or eight other people, the 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:03.000 HR team, the CEOs, the bosses, like, there's some well 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.640 known people here in the mix who are like in 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.120 the spotlight. I'll just say that I want to give 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:11.760 their names up. But I had the FaceTime call. Everything 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.200 was great, And then later that day I actually went 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.560 out and left the kid at home with her dad, 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:18.840 and she asked if she could FaceTime all of her 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:22.200 cousins and I said, not a problem. It's the group call, 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:25.800 the last group call on the iPad, and I had 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:28.880 my phone obviously, and that was fine. And then I 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:31.480 got home and my daughter said, Mommy, I spoke to 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:33.520 a really funny man on FaceTime today. 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:35.120 And I said, what do you mean? 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:37.040 What do you mean he spoke to a really funny 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:38.760 she gaess when I called my cousins, and I was like, 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:40.240 was it your uncle? Was it? 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:40.520 Well? 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:41.080 What do you mean? 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:44.040 And I had a look into my shock and horror. 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:47.680 She had FaceTime that entire last work meeting call and 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:52.360 the person that she'd FaceTime who answered was the CEO, 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:56.320 was the BOS and the call went for eight minutes. 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:59.400 Why was he spending eight minutes of his day talking 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:00.120 to a sip. 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:03.840 Rolled To this day, we have not addressed the Ellison 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.840 in the room. I had not discussed this with my bosses. 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:10.880 My child can't articulate what was said, and it's just 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:13.640 this mystery, and I'm happy for it to stay there 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:15.640 because I don't know what happened in that eight minutes, 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:16.960 but it was truly horrifying. 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:19.960 That is hilarious also, like why would you just be 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:22.000 like you got the wrong number, sweety You. 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:23.600 Always like go get your mom. 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:25.360
