Speaker 1: This episode was recorded on cameragle Land. Hi guys, and
Speaker 1: welcome back to another episode of Life Fun Cut. I'm
Speaker 1: Brittany and I'm Laura. Let's get down to business, Laura,
Speaker 1: I'll get down. Let's get down to beers. How big
Speaker 1: is that baby? Oh?
Speaker 2: Sorry, no baby? Updates can wait. There's much more important
Speaker 2: things for us to tick off. I was hoping you'd
Speaker 2: say that.
Speaker 1: I want to remind everyone of the headline. First.
Speaker 2: Let me let me pull it up. Hold on one second.
Speaker 2: I should have gotten prepared, but I mean I'm not.
Speaker 1: Two hours here we are.
Speaker 2: I'd like to just read out the headline that was
Speaker 2: published a couple of weeks ago. I know we touched
Speaker 2: on it, but then we have an update on this.
Speaker 2: Brittany Hockley reveals her wedding was fake and the shocking
Speaker 2: moment her husband was denied entry into Australia. We have
Speaker 2: some good news.
Speaker 1: Firstly, hang on, hang on, what's worse in that headline
Speaker 1: that my wedding was fake or that my husband was
Speaker 1: denied in because it makes it sound like something happened
Speaker 1: or he got arrested.
Speaker 2: The reason why I'm reading this out is because we
Speaker 2: have an update. A very very important life update to
Speaker 2: share with you.
Speaker 1: It's legal. My wedding's not fake. I had a real wedding.
Speaker 1: We signed the papers, and it is all legit. Baby,
Speaker 1: Laura says, we collectively like not that we all got married,
Speaker 1: but Laura and Keisha were the witness. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I was like, we literally signed the papers, Keisha
Speaker 2: and I, we are the ones who made it legal
Speaker 2: for you.
Speaker 1: Otherwise it would still be a fake wedding. It just
Speaker 1: sounded like we all got married. Like Laura's like, we
Speaker 1: signed the papers. We did have our legal wedding. And
Speaker 1: I have been getting a lot of questions when I'm
Speaker 1: going to get married. I'm married, I'm officially married. Write
Speaker 1: that headline. No one's going to write that.
Speaker 3: I want everyone to know that I really did put
Speaker 3: a good, strong case forward for live streaming it, and
Speaker 3: I was rejected.
Speaker 1: No, I almost was going to. I was almost going
Speaker 1: to because it was the funniest wedding, Like even though
Speaker 1: it was the real one, it was almost not real.
Speaker 1: It was almost like the weddings were so the big
Speaker 1: barley wedding that wasn't real. That felt for it felt
Speaker 1: more real. And then this little intimate, legal wedding felt
Speaker 1: like the joke. And I say that because maybe there
Speaker 1: was like less pressure on it because we'd already done it.
Speaker 1: And the big festivity is we had this beautiful, very intimate,
Speaker 1: like I'm talking ten people. Basically all these work people
Speaker 1: and my closest friends, my family weren't there. Like it
Speaker 1: was a really we planned it within five days. I
Speaker 1: don't know how he pulled that off. We planned it
Speaker 1: with him five days. We got it done and it
Speaker 1: was so special but so fucking funny, like from the
Speaker 1: second we stepped onto that boat, because it was on
Speaker 1: a boat, we did not stop laughing.
Speaker 3: Sorry, days before this, I think it was less than
Speaker 3: a week beforehand. Britt turns to me and she's like, Okay,
Speaker 3: so we're thinking next Wednesday, and.
Speaker 1: It's just gonna be really small. I think I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna do my own hair and makeup.
Speaker 3: And I laughed and I was like, Brittany Huckley, I know, please,
Speaker 3: you don't even know yourself.
Speaker 1: So I was doing my own hair and makeup. I
Speaker 1: honestly was. And then one of my really good friend Kim,
Speaker 1: who you guys have seen across the years, she's also
Speaker 1: like styles me. She's a stylist. I sent her what
Speaker 1: I was wearing. She's like, who's doing your hair makeup?
Speaker 1: I said me, I'm doing it. She went absolutely not,
Speaker 1: absolutely not. So she made me get it done. She
Speaker 1: made me I would be happy to have had this
Speaker 1: wedding day with my own hairmakeup.
Speaker 2: Kim's an old friend who also obviously she's a stylist,
Speaker 2: but we met her from back in the Batch days,
Speaker 2: like she was the stylist on Batch. Yeah, you guys
Speaker 2: connected and became really good friends after that, and yeah,
Speaker 2: she's always styled you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you and her of like my longest best relationships
Speaker 1: from the Bachelotte, like the stylist and someone on a
Speaker 1: different season.
Speaker 2: Weird, No, but I think it's one of those things
Speaker 2: where obviously the Barley wedding was incredible and beautiful, and
Speaker 2: like we've spoken about it, it was all the things
Speaker 2: that you wanted for a wedding.
Speaker 1: It was my dream wedding. She wasn't really, it was
Speaker 1: everything I wanted was legitimate. It's like a set.
Speaker 2: I don't want to say it was high pressure, because
Speaker 2: in no way was it like stressful or anything, but
Speaker 2: it was like the stakes were higher. There was just
Speaker 2: more organization. It was like a big wedding the other day.
Speaker 2: There was no schedule. It was very relaxed. Ten people
Speaker 2: on a boat. You guys hadn't written vows. It was
Speaker 2: all kind of off the cuff, and it felt really
Speaker 2: intimate and it felt really really special.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I stressed Ben out. He wasn't stressed at all.
Speaker 1: Then when we arrived the celebrant is Her name is
Speaker 1: Kaya and she's one of Laura's best friends. She also
Speaker 1: married Laura. I've known her for years as well, so
Speaker 1: that was really nice. But just as we got on,
Speaker 1: she's like, so you guys got thousand stuff, like we're
Speaker 1: still doing a wedding. And I looked at Ben and
Speaker 1: I was like, shit, let's just improv, Like, let's add lib.
Speaker 1: I've been to acting school. I can pretend like I
Speaker 1: love Ben. I can act it well. I'm really I mean,
Speaker 1: I talk for a living, so I don't need to prepare.
Speaker 1: But Ben was like dropping nuggets. He's like, I haven't
Speaker 1: prepared anything. And I said, it's okay, just talk to me,
Speaker 1: just say whatever comes to mind. It doesn't matter. We've
Speaker 1: done the wedding, you've written the vours. Anyway, I think
Speaker 1: it made it so much better because we just looked
Speaker 1: at each other and said what we felt in that moment.
Speaker 1: Nothing was pre planned, nothing was prepared, and I think
Speaker 1: it was more emotional and we probably felt more and
Speaker 1: cried more in that moment because of exactly what you
Speaker 1: just said, Laura. It's like we weren't overthinking anything. There
Speaker 1: wasn't pressure, there weren't a hundred people watching, and you know,
Speaker 1: there weren't all these cameras, and it just felt more
Speaker 1: I don't want to say real, but it felt more
Speaker 1: in a way, and I don't want this taken out
Speaker 1: of context. It felt like we were more present.
Speaker 2: Well, it was also I mean, we can talk about
Speaker 2: how it was such a sentimental day, which it was
Speaker 2: was very beautiful, it was also it was also genuinely
Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever laughed so fucking hard in
Speaker 2: my entire life, because as much as everything went off perfect,
Speaker 2: seemingly beautiful, there was one thing that happened that was
Speaker 2: not to plan.
Speaker 1: Well. Firstly, I want to say, one of my favorite
Speaker 1: parts besides Marion Brn, Delilah got to be there. Delilah
Speaker 1: was my bestie. You all know that, and I was
Speaker 1: really upset about getting married in Bali and not having
Speaker 1: her there, like it was actually a big decision. Well,
Speaker 1: I got married on a boat that's called Charisma two
Speaker 1: and it's actually the boat of a lifer. So her
Speaker 1: name is Rachel, but she's got she's got a boat business.
Speaker 1: She's got a boat business. And she reached out and
Speaker 1: she said, I think I have some availability. Let me
Speaker 1: know the exact days and times, and we worked it
Speaker 1: and she was amazing, like she was so good. She
Speaker 1: just got everything done within a couple of days time,
Speaker 1: and she was so relaxed, and she allowed Delilah to
Speaker 1: come on because I said, look, I don't know if
Speaker 1: you allowed dogs, but I can only get married if
Speaker 1: my dog can come. And she was like, yep, we'll
Speaker 1: work it out. Anyway, Delilah had this like little veil
Speaker 1: that Keisha bought that you guys know, yeah with from
Speaker 1: TIMI eight dollars. It wasn't from Timu. I don't want
Speaker 1: people being it's not much better, but it was from Amazon.
Speaker 3: And my job for the day was just to kind
Speaker 3: of like, man, Delilah, you know, get her onto the
Speaker 3: boat and look after her because you were doing other things.
Speaker 1: She actually ended up just looking after herself.
Speaker 3: Well, when we got onto the boat, she looked at me.
Speaker 3: You know when dogs go on to escalators and they
Speaker 3: look at you like brauh.
Speaker 1: Do you know that the Flaws movie? Yeah, And so
Speaker 1: I had to dress another dress from Stephen Khalil. Yes,
Speaker 1: I did it, and before you ask, it is dressed
Speaker 1: number four. I know that it was super low key.
Speaker 2: Most when they have multiple weddings sits because they're marrying
Speaker 2: different people. But it's just you're just having the same
Speaker 2: wedding over and over, keep marrying the same guy.
Speaker 1: So I had a beautiful dress that was more simple
Speaker 1: and understated in comparison, Like my dress for the wedding
Speaker 1: was very big. If you haven't seen it, we did
Speaker 1: make a four met a wild yeah, Kishano's because she
Speaker 1: had to cart it across the country. So we're at
Speaker 1: the end of the aisle. We're about to walk down.
Speaker 1: Now the aisle is four meters long. It's so small,
Speaker 1: so it's very intimate. There's ten people. I'm at the
Speaker 1: end with Delilah. She's walking down the aisle with me,
Speaker 1: and I have my dress, I have my veil Ben's
Speaker 1: at the end. The music starts playing the wedding song
Speaker 1: that I created for Ben with Sam Fisher, and I
Speaker 1: just start crying because it took me back to the
Speaker 1: wedding and I just felt so emotional. Ben was crying.
Speaker 1: It was beautiful.
Speaker 2: I really want to set the scene because you weren't
Speaker 2: just crying. You squatted down, so you were squatting crying.
Speaker 2: Because at the end of the aisle, I.
Speaker 1: Was squat crying. Yeah, you were squat crying with Delilah.
Speaker 2: We've all been there, but usually it's on like a
Speaker 2: Saturday night, four am.
Speaker 1: Because I cannot explain that the second the song started playing,
Speaker 1: it was like a tidal wave of emotions. It made
Speaker 1: me like drop to the ground, crying, crying, laugh, squat crying, cuddling, Delightah.
Speaker 1: It was a whole thing. What I haven't said yet
Speaker 1: is it had to have been like that morning. Rachel,
Speaker 1: the boat owner, messaged me and she said, Hey, is
Speaker 1: there another day you want to do this? Do you
Speaker 1: want to move it to tomorrow or the next day
Speaker 1: because this really weird wind storm has come through, like
Speaker 1: not a storm, it was sunny. She's like, just a
Speaker 1: wind storm. You want to reconsider. We wouldn't normally go
Speaker 1: out and I said, there's not another day, I said,
Speaker 1: the celebrants here, people have taken time off work. Ben
Speaker 1: and I are away like it's today, and She's like, okay, well,
Speaker 1: I just wanted to let you know, appreciate that. Anyway,
Speaker 1: that's somewhere on the boat.
Speaker 4: It is so windy, about to walk down, and then
Speaker 4: this gust of wind comes out of nowhere, rips my
Speaker 4: veil off my head as like we're in the middle
Speaker 4: of the ceremony, and just like flies it away.
Speaker 1: But it doesn't go all the way away. It sort
Speaker 1: of just goes like a meter or two away. So
Speaker 1: I start running to catch it, and everyone's sort of laughing.
Speaker 1: You guys are laughing, but no one's panic stations yet
Speaker 1: except when you helping. She was helping. I'm in my
Speaker 1: heels and my dress running around this boat. But it
Speaker 1: was like a comedy show. Every time I would reach
Speaker 1: the veil like a millimeter away, the wind would take
Speaker 1: it away a little bit further. Anyway, everyone's running around
Speaker 1: the boat now. It kept getting caught around poles, and
Speaker 1: just as we go to get it, it would rip away.
Speaker 1: It flies off the boat fifty meters away as we're
Speaker 1: all watching it and just lands in the ocean, beautifully,
Speaker 1: beautifully laid out in Oceandney Harbor, Sydney Harbor. In the
Speaker 1: middle of my ceremony, I was like, what the actual fuck?
Speaker 1: This could have been more Brittany Laura. I've never seen
Speaker 1: anything like it. Laura's on the ground literally in a
Speaker 1: pull a wik I literally not a little leakage, just
Speaker 1: like you just went to the toilet.
Speaker 2: I wish I could say it was embarrassed. I wasn't
Speaker 2: even embarrassed. I could not stop laughing.
Speaker 1: And then I.
Speaker 2: Started coughing because I was laughing so hard that every
Speaker 2: time I coughed, I pissed my pets.
Speaker 1: I literally had we running down my legs. It was humiliate.
Speaker 1: Ben had to help me up off the floor this
Speaker 1: video foot to the bar and I was like a
Speaker 1: fucking cart like I have, that's nothing less. Ben pulled
Speaker 1: Laura up off the ground because this is a six
Speaker 1: months pregnant woman. Wean on the ground. Ben pulls her
Speaker 1: up to help her seize the pile away on the ground,
Speaker 1: just puts it back down. Stay down there while the
Speaker 1: camera's for me.
Speaker 2: Guys, it's not I know. We joke about my pelvic
Speaker 2: floor far out. I really hope it comes back after
Speaker 2: number three, but it is gone. If I cough too hard,
Speaker 2: if I have like an unprepared sneeze, anything, any sort
Speaker 2: of body function that is a surprise to my abdomen,
Speaker 2: I pi my pants like it's not okay, I cannot.
Speaker 1: I've just I have the funniest video I'm gonna put
Speaker 1: on Instart. I just never experienced anything like that. No,
Speaker 1: we had to everyone's like, where's Laura? And I was like,
Speaker 1: she wet herself. Give her a minute change. I'm really
Speaker 1: sorry to make it about me again. Standard once it
Speaker 1: was diarrhea, and now you've wet yourself, as why is
Speaker 1: it always bodily funk? The something wrong with me? So
Speaker 1: then we walked back and I was like, well, the
Speaker 1: show must go on. One of the crew members is
Speaker 1: out in a dinghy trying to fetch it. So we
Speaker 1: go back to the ceremony and I was like, what
Speaker 1: am I going to do? Ke She's like, I have
Speaker 1: an idea, So she takes the five dollar mini veil
Speaker 1: off Delilah's twelve. Sorry, well I shouldn't. I shouldn't short
Speaker 1: change you.
Speaker 2: I mean it's under financial your sales I'm surprised it wasn't.
Speaker 1: Five It should have been two dolls. She takes it.
Speaker 3: Also was so much shorter than the pitch made it
Speaker 3: look like it looked like it would be maybe half
Speaker 3: a meter. And yes, I could have looked at the dimensions,
Speaker 3: but who has time for that. I ordered it with
Speaker 3: like the most expressed post you can get. So it
Speaker 3: came the next morning, just so that I knew, and
Speaker 3: I was prepared for Delilah to have her accessories for
Speaker 3: the wedding, but it.
Speaker 1: Was how serious Keisha was. She's like, wait Bridge, I've
Speaker 1: got it, don't worry, and I've got a solution. So
Speaker 1: did she bring me a backup veil? Is she like
Speaker 1: the best? Anyway? She goes and gets this TEAMU veil
Speaker 1: that literally it does like spikes out of my head,
Speaker 1: that is a dog veil, puts it in my hair,
Speaker 1: and she's like, perfect, I cannot walk down, I cannot
Speaker 1: get married. The show must go on. I did get
Speaker 1: married without my veil, which isn't the end of the world.
Speaker 1: Like I look back now, I can't stop smiling. I
Speaker 1: look back and I just think it was the best,
Speaker 1: one of the best days of my life, even though
Speaker 1: I just did have a very big, expensive wedding, this
Speaker 1: little one that I didn't plan was amazing. What does
Speaker 1: it mean now with Ben?
Speaker 2: So when does Ben go back home to Italy?
Speaker 1: And then when is he back? Yeah? Actually he just
Speaker 1: messaged me now in this record, I'm glad that you're
Speaker 1: fully focused on Well. No, just before we started, like
Speaker 1: as we're about to start, to get a message from him,
Speaker 1: and it made me want to cry because he said,
Speaker 1: booking my flights on Saturday, so in like four days,
Speaker 1: so this Saturday is going home. It's been so nice
Speaker 1: to have him. It's just not so normal. I know,
Speaker 1: I know, he just because this is.
Speaker 3: The worst time you guys have like glad and married, right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: this will be two weddings and six weeks and three
Speaker 3: mini moons.
Speaker 1: So it's it's been like the most wholesome times. It's
Speaker 1: been the most And I understand how that sounds. It's
Speaker 1: been two weddings, four dresses, and three mini moons. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I get it. Well, I mean go out like you're
Speaker 1: casual and Loki. Yeah, go off, queen, go off. Oh
Speaker 1: and I will, guys, I will post a picture as well,
Speaker 1: because we did finally get our wedding cake. You guys
Speaker 1: know the pizza debarcle that looks like four pizzas stacked
Speaker 1: on top of each other. I had a beautiful local
Speaker 1: Petistri eat and Petistri that was like, we are going
Speaker 1: to make you the cake that you never had. I
Speaker 1: promise it won't be a pizza, and they sent like
Speaker 1: the most beautiful cake. So I feel like we got
Speaker 1: all of our little moments, you know, but we got
Speaker 1: the cake. We lost the veil. You can't have it all.
Speaker 2: Well, hopefully now there's at least one headline that validates
Speaker 2: that you are married, and that's legitimate.
Speaker 1: The last thing we didn't say is because we did
Speaker 1: a whole wedding again. So we took off our wedding rings,
Speaker 1: like the ones that Laura made. We didn't get extra rings. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: they're just the same rings, the same ring. Good. But
Speaker 1: these are like you guys have seen them, the beautiful
Speaker 1: like big diamond rings and that Tony May made Tony
Speaker 1: May Tip. Yep, no discount, there's no discount on those.
Speaker 1: I'm too expensive. They're really expensive.
Speaker 3: Discount but the first time shoppers, you can use Life
Speaker 3: on Cut twenty for twenty percent.
Speaker 1: Of yeah, we have a coat. Hang on, you're making
Speaker 1: money off my web Sorry. Yeahs in the Facebook group
Speaker 1: all the time. So here is I'm joking. Soksha's like,
Speaker 1: I've got a cute idea. I'm going to like send
Speaker 1: them down the aisle on Delilah and Delilah can be
Speaker 1: the ring girl. And so in my head, I was like, cute,
Speaker 1: she's gonna have like a little ring bag. It's going
Speaker 1: to be a whole thing. Now we're on a boat.
Speaker 1: So she sends Delilah down and there's like the scabbiest
Speaker 1: scrunchy like hair elistic that she's pulled out of her
Speaker 1: hair on the day it was your hair. She's you
Speaker 1: say it's scabby. I want to say that. I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't have a hair tie. This is a problem.
Speaker 1: And I looked at you and I was like, where's
Speaker 1: that scrunchy you had on your wrist? So it's a
Speaker 1: you little hair tired that she's like tied knots in.
Speaker 1: It's like, this is a dodguice thing you've ever seen,
Speaker 1: tied knots around, all the rings tied and not to
Speaker 1: Delia's collar. And Delilah's just running around the boat with
Speaker 1: these diamond rings attached to a scrunchy. I was like,
Speaker 1: this is dang.
Speaker 2: I have something to admit. I'm actually the one that
Speaker 2: tied it to the collar. So oh, I don't feel
Speaker 2: bad that if I.
Speaker 1: Did a little double loop secured them to the collar.
Speaker 3: She went, I was a girl scout, Florisa, how I
Speaker 3: did it? And she freaked out, going, that is not
Speaker 3: secure enough.
Speaker 1: They're not ensued yet.
Speaker 2: I went to gumnuts and you know what they say,
Speaker 2: if you can't tie knots, tie lots there you go.
Speaker 1: That's what took me. We're at the end of the
Speaker 1: isle and everyone's watching. We couldn't get them off. I
Speaker 1: was like, anyway, I'm married. Anyway, I can't tie not
Speaker 1: tie lords. If you can't tie that, I feel like
Speaker 1: if you can't tie not, don't, well sometimes you might
Speaker 1: really need to.
Speaker 2: So like, you know, if it's a life or death situation,
Speaker 2: if you don't how to tie, good not just tilots
Speaker 2: of them anyway, We're focused on that for too long.
Speaker 1: Sorry, that's my fault. Okay. And so what's the size
Speaker 1: of your baby? Can it stand up in the womb? Guys?
Speaker 2: I'm really sorry, I know we're all laughing about this
Speaker 2: last episode. I told the same story twice. I haven't
Speaker 2: lived it down yet. It's been brought up many times
Speaker 2: since I'm not gonna tell the same story.
Speaker 1: The kid's still breach.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's still breachka, it's still kicking me in the cervax.
Speaker 2: But I kind of forget how far along I am. Right,
Speaker 2: It's like I forget this pregnancy. I think, like third pregnancies,
Speaker 2: it goes quicker. You're obviously busy with other the two kids.
Speaker 2: You're also not a stress, so you're not like checking
Speaker 2: the pregnancy app and you're not looking at like milestones
Speaker 2: and like, oh my gosh, my baby's just grown fingernails
Speaker 2: like old news.
Speaker 1: It's got eyelashes.
Speaker 2: I have not checked a single milestone for this kid,
Speaker 2: except for the stuff that you really have to go
Speaker 2: and get done, like your scans.
Speaker 1: Not so stuff.
Speaker 2: Anyway, you even forgot that. I did forget a scan,
Speaker 2: but I made up for it. Laura booked the results.
Speaker 1: She booked the appointment to go to a doctor to
Speaker 1: get the results of a scan she didn't get. Surely
Speaker 1: that's something that they like. Pregnancy brain isn't known to
Speaker 1: be a thing. Surely they text you to tell you no.
Speaker 2: Apparently it's a third pregnancy thing. So he was like,
Speaker 2: have you booked in to have the baby at the hospital,
Speaker 2: because you have to actually make an appointment, right, so
Speaker 2: it's not like you can show up at public hospel
Speaker 2: and have a baby if something goes wrong.
Speaker 1: But like, it doesn't work like that. If you want
Speaker 1: a bed, you turn up in labor and they're not
Speaker 1: like no, but don't schedule. You'll have to go to
Speaker 1: the car park. My mate, there's been some horror stories.
Speaker 1: Sure it's happened.
Speaker 2: So my homs was like, hey, have you booked in
Speaker 2: to have the baby at the hospital? And he said
Speaker 2: the only women I've ever known to forget to make
Speaker 2: their hospital bookings are women having their number three baby.
Speaker 1: Because they just interest.
Speaker 2: It's like you know that you'll get things done, but
Speaker 2: you kind of just forget and then do it on
Speaker 2: your own timeline. Anyway, I was talking about the other
Speaker 2: day and Matt looks at me. He goes, fuck, I
Speaker 2: can't believe that we're gonna have a kid in like
Speaker 2: eighteen weeks.
Speaker 1: And I was like, that.
Speaker 2: Sounds really far. I don't think it's that far, and
Speaker 2: I looked at my calendar. We're having a kid in
Speaker 2: twelve weeks. It's twelve weeks away that this baby will
Speaker 2: be out of me in the real world.
Speaker 1: Well, what he meant, we're having a baby. The three
Speaker 1: of us we got married last week. We all got
Speaker 1: also having a baby.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so in case you were curious, the baby is
Speaker 2: currently a like cabbage or a lettuce. That's the size
Speaker 2: of it. And yeah, we're going great, twelve more weeks.
Speaker 1: I feel like collectively we aren't ready.
Speaker 2: No. Same the peloton and the pilates machine that's in
Speaker 2: the baby's.
Speaker 1: Room screams not ready with the screen that I'm actually
Speaker 1: not prepared. I don't have a single thing.
Speaker 2: So I have not got the cot, I don't have
Speaker 2: the like the side carrier where you put your baby in.
Speaker 2: I don't have like an Actually we got rid of
Speaker 2: everything worrying.
Speaker 1: I feel like you have twelve weeks is twelve weeks through?
Speaker 1: You have time, like you just need to do it.
Speaker 1: But did get Delilah's Veil express ship. I'm sure you
Speaker 1: can get Bezos to the rescue. Yeah, because he needs
Speaker 1: the business. Speaking of Jeff Bezos, we did want to
Speaker 1: speak about the wedding until we realize that every single
Speaker 1: person in the entire universe and every media publication has spoken.
Speaker 1: Now podcast has done it, We're like, let's not bore
Speaker 1: you guys. So I feel like it's I feel like
Speaker 1: it's been done. But I do want to say, for
Speaker 1: fifty two million dollars, I was apprized at what they
Speaker 1: did for fifty two million dollars. That's what I want
Speaker 1: to say. It doesn't scream fifty two million dollar wedding
Speaker 1: to me. They had to pay for all the jets, yeah,
Speaker 1: and the security.
Speaker 3: And kick everyone else who was meant to be inventics
Speaker 3: who had already booked in into other hotels.
Speaker 2: And the environmental impact fossil fuels and their offset and
Speaker 2: carbon emissions. The only thing I also want to add is,
Speaker 2: if you haven't googled what the invitation.
Speaker 1: Looks like, do yourself a favor.
Speaker 2: It's do yourself a favor and just google Jeff Bezos
Speaker 2: wedding invitation. It's real because it screams to me that
Speaker 2: someone has the free version of Canvas and they.
Speaker 1: Just got some click out and put it together. It
Speaker 1: screams like I would have done it. Do you think
Speaker 1: it could have been ingests, though there's apparently a bit
Speaker 1: of a trend going around of that kind of a thing,
Speaker 1: potentially the fifty two meal. They've got money for people,
Speaker 1: So I think it was intentional. Do you know what. Look,
Speaker 1: we're going to save you the Google.
Speaker 2: We're going to post it ourselves to socials and we're
Speaker 2: gonna move right along.
Speaker 1: That's what we're going to do. So something that I
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about that just came to light late
Speaker 1: last night and this morning. Hot off the press so,
Speaker 1: hot off the pressing. Yeah, and something and someone everyone
Speaker 1: knows about Vin Diesel. So over the weekend Vin Diesel,
Speaker 1: who is the creator and producer of the whole Fast
Speaker 1: and Furious franchise which we all know this ten of them.
Speaker 1: They've been absolute blockbustering.
Speaker 2: I thought that there was a million of them. Honestly,
Speaker 2: it's Fast and the Furious as the gift that can.
Speaker 1: Well, he made a pretty big statement. He has said
Speaker 1: that the final installment, which will be number eleven or
Speaker 1: some people say it's like ten point five. So over
Speaker 1: the weekend at an automotive car fest that is run
Speaker 1: by Paul Walker's brother Cody. Now that sounds convoluted, but
Speaker 1: bear with me. Vin Diesel was at the car Fest
Speaker 1: and made this huge announcement about the final installment of
Speaker 1: the franchise. He has said that they plan on using
Speaker 1: CGI and AI to bring Paul Walker back to life
Speaker 1: and put him in the final film of Fast and Furious.
Speaker 1: For those of you that don't remember, Paul Walker passed
Speaker 1: away halfway through filming number seven of the film, so
Speaker 1: then film the first half. He had a horrific car
Speaker 1: accident where he passed away, and they finished the film
Speaker 1: by using some of his brothers to stand in some
Speaker 1: CGI to overlay his face, some old archive footage of
Speaker 1: him to finish number seven, and everybody sort of thought
Speaker 1: that that was done in dusted fast forward. A few
Speaker 1: more films were at the final installment, and he has
Speaker 1: said that he will only do number eleven on three conditions. One,
Speaker 1: it has to be filmed back in LA. Two, it
Speaker 1: has to go back to that core of being like
Speaker 1: really car related, really car driven, because it sort of
Speaker 1: skewed away from that. And three he would only do
Speaker 1: it if Paul Walker could be in the film. Have
Speaker 1: listened to twenty said the.
Speaker 5: Studio said to me, then can we please have the
Speaker 5: finale of Fast and furists April twenty twenty seven. I
Speaker 5: said on three conditions reuniting Dom and Brian O'Connor.
Speaker 2: So this has really raised a question around the moral
Speaker 2: decision making of using AI to bring someone back from
Speaker 2: the dead. And now the reason why this is slightly different.
Speaker 2: I know you touched on this, brit in terms of
Speaker 2: Paul Walker being in Fast and Furious in film seven,
Speaker 2: Furious seven is what it's called. They've already used CGI
Speaker 2: of him in the past, but that was in order
Speaker 2: to complete a movie in which he had already started
Speaker 2: filming and was really quite a long way through the process.
Speaker 2: So there's only a small portion of the end of
Speaker 2: that film. If you guys remember where he is, either
Speaker 2: CGI or there's body doubles where it's his brothers, like
Speaker 2: filmed from behind. This feels really different. I mean, he
Speaker 2: died in twenty thirteen. We're now twenty twenty five. This
Speaker 2: movie isn't going to come out until twenty twenty seven,
Speaker 2: so we are so far down the track and it
Speaker 2: is going to be a completely new storyline. That's the
Speaker 2: final chapter or the final movie of this series and sequence,
Speaker 2: and it means that all of the footage that's going
Speaker 2: to be used is going to be completely created through
Speaker 2: AI and through the current advancements that exist with AI technology.
Speaker 2: I think it's really important for us to touch on
Speaker 2: the monetary gains of this series. So the Fast and
Speaker 2: Furious franchise as a total has generated over seven billion
Speaker 2: dollars at the global box office, which makes it one
Speaker 2: of the most successful film franchises of all time. Now,
Speaker 2: as we've established, there are ten of these films, with
Speaker 2: the part two of the last episode coming out in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven. But just to give you an understanding
Speaker 2: of how much money they have made individually, the most
Speaker 2: successful film that has been released was Furious seven, which
Speaker 2: accumulated one point five billion dollars. That is the film
Speaker 2: that Paul Walker passed away in. The reason why it
Speaker 2: was so successful is because, by large, most people wanted
Speaker 2: to see how that movie played out, and it was
Speaker 2: such a huge momentous time in pop culture, and I
Speaker 2: think it felt across the world. It was kind of
Speaker 2: akin to like when he Pledger died. Yeah, and he
Speaker 2: was only forty at the time, so everyone wanted to see, like,
Speaker 2: how did that play out? Paul Walker's death had a
Speaker 2: very significant impact in the exposure and also the visibility
Speaker 2: of these films. I'm not saying that bringing him back
Speaker 2: is in any way purely motivated by money, because it
Speaker 2: does seem as though Paul Walker's family and Vin Diesel,
Speaker 2: who by all accounts is one of poor Walker's best friends,
Speaker 2: truly cares about the legacy of Paul Walker and cares
Speaker 2: about the legacy of the Fast and Furious franchise. But
Speaker 2: we can't deny that there's a monetary aspect that's connected
Speaker 2: to this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there's obviously monetary gain, but I personally
Speaker 1: don't think that it is money driven. And I say
Speaker 1: that because it does give me a little bit of
Speaker 1: the ick. I've been trying to work out how I
Speaker 1: feel about it, and I don't think I like the
Speaker 1: fact that somebody doesn't have a say over their image.
Speaker 1: Having said that, we don't know that he didn't sign
Speaker 1: on to an entire franchise. We don't know that there
Speaker 1: weren't clauses in his contract to say that you can
Speaker 1: use his image to feel in franchise. We don't know.
Speaker 1: What we do know is that Vin Diesel and Paul
Speaker 1: Walker were best friends when Paul Walker died. His daughter,
Speaker 1: Meadow was only fifteen years old, and Vin Diesel became
Speaker 1: her godfather and he has stayed so close to her
Speaker 1: the entire time, like he stepped in as a bit
Speaker 1: of a father figure. He went from godfather to acting
Speaker 1: like a father and he really looked after her because
Speaker 1: she was so young. We know that the family has
Speaker 1: approved it, which I think says a lot. I don't
Speaker 1: believe Vin Diesel because he's a creator and a producer.
Speaker 1: I don't think that he would put Paul Walk in
Speaker 1: a film if his family said no. So I guess
Speaker 1: the question for us and the audience is because there
Speaker 1: has been a lot of pushback. A lot of people
Speaker 1: are saying it's disgusting and leave it where it was,
Speaker 1: you know, like that people believe that they shouldn't have
Speaker 1: even finished the series after it, that it should have
Speaker 1: finished at seven. But then there's a part of me
Speaker 1: that thinks, well, who are we to say that when
Speaker 1: the closest people in Paul's life have said that they
Speaker 1: want it to happen and that it's okay.
Speaker 2: I know, But also then that brings into question like
Speaker 2: who owns someone's image? Like, hey, hear it out if
Speaker 2: I pass away tomorrow and I dropped.
Speaker 1: Out podcast is continuing with your face on Kisha?
Speaker 2: Does Does that mean that Matt, for the rest of
Speaker 2: my existence, like for the rest of his life, has
Speaker 2: the right to say, Yeah, you can use Laura's image
Speaker 2: and put words into her mouth, and you can use
Speaker 2: her to continue a business because at the end of
Speaker 2: the day, Fast and Furious as much as yes, it's
Speaker 2: a legacy, and I understand that there's more of a
Speaker 2: legacy piece in this.
Speaker 1: It is a business.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so I wonder like, is it necessary and
Speaker 2: is it as a viewer, is it something that we
Speaker 2: actually really want to see? Do we want to see
Speaker 2: AI technology being used to bring people back from the dead.
Speaker 1: I think no. Usually no, I don't think you can
Speaker 1: just start a new film and put someone that's passed
Speaker 1: away in it. But I understand why in this sense,
Speaker 1: and I do have some interesting information about who owns
Speaker 1: the image, So the ownership not Matt, so me. The
Speaker 1: ownership of Fortwalker's image, particularly the CGI used to recreate
Speaker 1: him in the Fast and furioust films, is complex, involving
Speaker 1: both copyright and rights to publicity. Generally, the copyright for
Speaker 1: the visual image and any related software belongs to the author,
Speaker 1: so in this case the CGI creators, they own it. However,
Speaker 1: apparently the rights to the publicity which control the commercial
Speaker 1: use of a person's likeness, can be held by Walker's estate,
Speaker 1: meaning the estate controls how his image is used, even
Speaker 1: if it's digitally recreated. His estate is owned by his
Speaker 1: daughter Meadow. So if this you know, we haven't spoken
Speaker 1: to a lawyer about this, which is just our own
Speaker 1: research on the internet. But if that is true, then
Speaker 1: essentially the estate is owned by his daughter Meadow, and
Speaker 1: Meto has approved for his likeness to be used, so
Speaker 1: legally obviously it's fine. It just comes down to that
Speaker 1: moral conundrum of are we happy? Is this setting a
Speaker 1: precedence for us to bring back people from the dead
Speaker 1: and put them in future films? Yeah, but I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, for me, I think it's a bit of
Speaker 2: an ethical mindfield because the advancements have been so quick, right,
Speaker 2: We've made leaps and bounds from what we able to
Speaker 2: do two years ago to what we are able to
Speaker 2: do now. It is so convincing. We've all seen AI
Speaker 2: where it's taken us a second to realize whether it's
Speaker 2: real or it's not real. And I think that for
Speaker 2: that reason, a lot of the legislation around AI hasn't
Speaker 2: actually caught up, because this is often what happens in
Speaker 2: the world of technology. Technology moves so fast and legislation
Speaker 2: moves so slow, and so the rules and regulations aren't
Speaker 2: there and don't catch up in time. I can't say
Speaker 2: that I have like a solid feeling about whether I
Speaker 2: think it's like ethically wrong or ethically great. But I
Speaker 2: think it really opens up a can of worms around
Speaker 2: who owns someone's image and what happens to your image
Speaker 2: once you pass away? Because I understand that even in
Speaker 2: what you're saying, brit that it belongs to the estate,
Speaker 2: and it also belongs to the AI creators, but what
Speaker 2: belongs to that person who died and they don't get
Speaker 2: a say in it?
Speaker 1: And I dare say that even if there were.
Speaker 2: Things that were signed in the contract, this version of
Speaker 2: AI didn't exist.
Speaker 1: When Paul Walker was alive. He didn't know that.
Speaker 2: Complete like and I'm talking like are such a significantly
Speaker 2: real version of him could be created, and that an
Speaker 2: entire movie could be made with him never speaking a
Speaker 2: single word of what was said in that movie. It's
Speaker 2: pretty fucking mind blowing.
Speaker 3: I think the biggest question I have about this actually
Speaker 3: doesn't relate to, like, you know, whether they've given consent
Speaker 3: for it to happen, because I think that that's quite ambiguous,
Speaker 3: and I think it's all a bit murky. I think
Speaker 3: what I actually have a bit more of a problem
Speaker 3: with is the fact that they're doing this under the
Speaker 3: guise of, oh, we're trying to create a legacy for him,
Speaker 3: we're trying to honor him, and you know, this is
Speaker 3: what the fans want, and this is what the story
Speaker 3: was made around, and he was, you know, the first protagonist,
Speaker 3: and blah, blah, blah. I just don't believe that because
Speaker 3: the movie that he passed away in the seventh that
Speaker 3: made one point five billion, but the most recent one
Speaker 3: only made seven hundred and fourteen million. So I just
Speaker 3: don't think that we can actually separate the fact that
Speaker 3: there wouldn't be a financial profit or a financial gain
Speaker 3: that they're going to make by bringing him back, because
Speaker 3: they've shown it, you know, the shown that people haven't
Speaker 3: interest in Paul Walker being a part of these movies totally.
Speaker 2: It would definitely be the most watched version of a
Speaker 2: Fast and Furious movie because everyone would want to see
Speaker 2: just how crazy that well, firstly the AI.
Speaker 1: Advancements are, but also everyone wants to see him again.
Speaker 2: And as much as people say no, I don't think
Speaker 2: I actually want to see that play out, we will
Speaker 2: out of curiosity because it'll be the first of its time.
Speaker 1: It'll be so widely publicized.
Speaker 2: The pr around it will be insane, and I think
Speaker 2: it'll be one of those cultural moments where even if
Speaker 2: it feels a bit weird, you'll still want to see
Speaker 2: how it was done. From a voyeuristic perspective. If it
Speaker 2: was a legacy piece, I don't think it needed to
Speaker 2: have five more movies, you know. So if he died
Speaker 2: in Furious seven, that could have been the last movie,
Speaker 2: or there could have been one or two. And he
Speaker 2: still is mentioned in almost every movie. He still has
Speaker 2: this footage that alludes to him, or there's a car
Speaker 2: that it could have been him in it, but you
Speaker 2: don't quite see him. So I know that they have
Speaker 2: always used him throughout the storyline, and I think that
Speaker 2: that's totally acceptable because he was such an integral heart
Speaker 2: of Fast and Furious. But there is something about this
Speaker 2: whole making an entire movie talking to a dead man
Speaker 2: who is being characterized by AI.
Speaker 1: That to me feels quite disturbing. I'm battling with how
Speaker 1: I feel. I know it's I really want to see
Speaker 1: him again. No, he was so beautiful. I say, it
Speaker 1: gives me a little bit of the ig, and it does,
Speaker 1: But I think it's really situational. I don't necessarily agree
Speaker 1: with you, keisha On. I mean I do and I don't.
Speaker 1: Of course, you can't separate the fact that it's gonna
Speaker 1: make a shitload of money. But for who is my question? Well,
Speaker 1: I truly believe that this is a big from Vin
Speaker 1: Diesel's motives. He doesn't need money, right, He's gonna make money, yes, absolutely,
Speaker 1: But I think would be remiss to say that he
Speaker 1: is doing it for his legacy, because this wasn't his
Speaker 1: idea the studio. I've said to him, please can we
Speaker 1: finish this off? And he's the one that said, only
Speaker 1: if I can see it out with my best friend Paul.
Speaker 1: I think that it was actually quite an emotional decision
Speaker 1: and a considered decision, not a monetary one. Yes, there'll
Speaker 1: be benefits, but his family are benefiting, his daughter who
Speaker 1: he left at fifteen is benefiting the studio producers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course no, but they it wasn't their idea. It
Speaker 1: was Vin's stipulation. He was like, I will only film
Speaker 1: it if you make this happen. I think that's why
Speaker 1: this situation as a whole is different for me. If
Speaker 1: I view bringing back someone from the dead to put
Speaker 1: in a film, I feel like that is separate to
Speaker 1: this because this was such an elaborate franchise. It was
Speaker 1: so big. It was based around two best friends in
Speaker 1: real life, and I think there was so much character
Speaker 1: development that the world grew with them. So I feel
Speaker 1: like I look at this situation differently to if it
Speaker 1: was just like, hey, we're going to make a movie
Speaker 1: with Heath Ledger like out of the Blue. Okay, let's
Speaker 1: say that we're all alright with this.
Speaker 2: They make twenty twenty seven, this final version of Fast
Speaker 2: and Furious, we all watch Paul Walker on screen, risen
Speaker 2: from the dead. Where's the line? Can they bring back
Speaker 2: child actors? Can they bring back musicians? Because they're doing
Speaker 2: you know, biography or whatever it is. You know, like,
Speaker 2: do we need actors anymore? Do we need Okay, firstly,
Speaker 2: do any actors that's already the question though, if there
Speaker 2: is a series that a child is in whatever it is,
Speaker 2: you know, and that kid dies, who owns that child's image?
Speaker 2: Are we allowed to create an AI version of that
Speaker 2: actor because we were all so invested in that child's life, Like,
Speaker 2: I don't know where the line is, and at the
Speaker 2: moment it feels as though that line is very murky,
Speaker 2: And so I think that there needs to be some
Speaker 2: parameters that are put in place around what ownership do
Speaker 2: we have individually on our likeness when we're not here
Speaker 2: anymore to protect it.
Speaker 1: But this is where it gets even more complicated and muddier.
Speaker 1: Even when people are alive. You can deep fake someone alive. Now,
Speaker 1: you can deep fake someone's face. They can be doing
Speaker 1: whatever they want. It can be on the dark webbing pawn.
Speaker 1: They can be literally doing anything and that person doesn't
Speaker 1: own it and they're still alive. So I guess that's
Speaker 1: the question people are asking, is, well, I can't control
Speaker 1: it right now and I'm here, is it morally that corrupt?
Speaker 1: I don't know?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, the reality is there's lots of legislation
Speaker 2: around deep fakes. Deep fakes are illegal, Like if someone's
Speaker 2: making deep fake pornography or explicit material that is illegal.
Speaker 2: From twenty twenty four, those legislations were brought in, so
Speaker 2: there's many protections.
Speaker 1: Is it perfect yet? No? Yes, but this is such
Speaker 1: a gray area.
Speaker 2: This is something that is legal that is okay, and
Speaker 2: it's because it's not sexualized. But then again, maybe it is.
Speaker 2: Maybe that ai character is playing out a sex scene.
Speaker 2: Like who's to say where the limitations are in this
Speaker 2: when the reality is is that it's a movie and
Speaker 2: they're acting. Is that person making out with an actress
Speaker 2: on screen? Like are they getting their clothes off down
Speaker 2: to their bloody budget smugglers?
Speaker 1: Like what are they doing?
Speaker 2: And they can't give consent to it because they're dead?
Speaker 2: Like it's it's truly a crazy world that we're living in.
Speaker 2: And I think the surface level of it seems like
Speaker 2: it's okay, But then the further you unpack, like the
Speaker 2: actual nuance around well, what is that character doing in
Speaker 2: that film? And would that person have chosen to do that?
Speaker 2: Would that be a role that they would have said?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Would Paul Walker fifteen years later, still we go going,
Speaker 2: you know what? Yeah, I want to keep doing fast
Speaker 2: and furious? Would he have made other decisions for his life, like,
Speaker 2: we don't know.
Speaker 3: I think that's the most interesting thing is that a
Speaker 3: lot of the time, in situations that are similar to this,
Speaker 3: I don't think there has been one exactly like this,
Speaker 3: people say it's what they would have wanted. And the
Speaker 3: truth is is that you can't apply that to something
Speaker 3: with technology that existed in twenty thirteen, because this technology,
Speaker 3: like you said, Laura, it didn't exist then, so you
Speaker 3: can't really wholly fully say it's what they would have wanted.
Speaker 3: You don't know this stuff didn't exist, And to be honest,
Speaker 3: I'm a bit more confused. His brothers look pretty similar
Speaker 3: to him, Like I don't know why his brother can't
Speaker 3: just learn him to act and play the role, Like
Speaker 3: I think it would have been a nicer version of
Speaker 3: how to honor your brother is by like taking on
Speaker 3: that character that's happened in you know, films or TV
Speaker 3: shows in the past where people have passed away or
Speaker 3: they've quit, you know, and they've just had to replace
Speaker 3: the actor and pretend like they didn't completely change what
Speaker 3: they looked like. But we all know that that doesn't
Speaker 3: work from a viewer perspective, From an audience perspective.
Speaker 1: We don't like it, we don't enjoy that.
Speaker 2: I think that the reality is that would impact box
Speaker 2: office success, and we probably wouldn't want to go and
Speaker 2: see Paul Walker's brother pretend to be Paul Walker, but
Speaker 2: we will pay to go and see an AI version
Speaker 2: of him being recreated. The things that you might think
Speaker 2: you want ten years later, you might not be as
Speaker 2: interested in them anymore. I'm not saying Paul Walker wouldn't
Speaker 2: want to still be doing Fast and Furious. The realities
Speaker 2: we don't know, but you just don't know.
Speaker 1: I agree. You know what they will do, though, they
Speaker 1: will ensure that his storyline is incredible. He wouldn't be
Speaker 1: doing anything he wouldn't have done in a past film.
Speaker 1: I think when they say things like he would have
Speaker 1: wanted this, I think if you sort of extrapolate a
Speaker 1: few of these pieces, he would have wanted it in
Speaker 1: the fact of his daughter's going to benefit from it
Speaker 1: and make money, and he knows she's secure outside of that.
Speaker 1: I don't think you can say what he wanted, so
Speaker 1: that is one hundred percent accurate. Cash Like, there's no
Speaker 1: way to say what someone wants ten, fifteen, twenty years later.
Speaker 1: Apart from the fact please continue to look after my daughter.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure that that is the part that
Speaker 1: they're focusing on. But it's going to be interesting. Am
Speaker 1: I going to see it? Yeah? Probably, Like I think
Speaker 1: that is going to be one of the highest grossing
Speaker 1: films of that franchise. I'd be shocked if it isn't.
Speaker 1: I think that every single person that's kicking off about
Speaker 1: it saying, you know, this is disgusting, they'll probably end
Speaker 1: up seeing it as well. You know, there'll be some
Speaker 1: hate watching, there'll be some curiosity watching, there'll be some
Speaker 1: passion watching. Like people are going to love the fact
Speaker 1: that he's coming back, and there are people that are
Speaker 1: excited about that.
Speaker 2: It will be a huge success. Yeah, but it does
Speaker 2: raise a lot of questions around the moral implications of
Speaker 2: what it means for future AI in movies.
Speaker 1: For sure. Going to give you guys permission. You can
Speaker 1: continue the podcast with my face if you are. Just
Speaker 1: don't make me too rogue, like, just keep me like,
Speaker 1: make me better. Actually, I've got some making up to do. Well,
Speaker 1: it is time for accidentally unfiltered and came down to two.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I made an educated choice this week.
Speaker 1: One was very pooh driven, so I thought I'd rest
Speaker 1: that and we can circle back to that. So I
Speaker 1: was chatting with my partner and his dad about the
Speaker 1: Neoser Triathlon, which my partner was training for. I am
Speaker 1: a terrible swimmer, so naturally I don't put My father
Speaker 1: in law turned to me and asked if I was
Speaker 1: good at freestyle, to which I responded, no way, I'm
Speaker 1: strictly a doggy star girl. His eyes bolted out of
Speaker 1: his head and he looked absolutely shocked. My partner's head
Speaker 1: snapped up in my direction and the conversation went silent.
Speaker 1: I couldn't work out what I had said wrong, but
Speaker 1: I just assumed he was shocked. I couldn't swim a
Speaker 1: few minutes later, my heart sank to my stomach when
Speaker 1: I realized that the swimming stroke I was referring to
Speaker 1: is called doggy paddle, not doggy style. I had told
Speaker 1: my father in law my favorite sex position for context.
Speaker 1: My father in law is very shy and conservative man,
Speaker 1: and this made him feel extremely uncomfortable. It's pretty bout it.
Speaker 1: No way, I only do doggy stock. I just love
Speaker 1: douga star. He's like doing doggy paddle.
Speaker 2: I can just imagine though, like if he's very sweet,
Speaker 2: he wouldn't have said anything.
Speaker 1: He probably knew what she meant, turned around, high fived
Speaker 1: his son.
Speaker 2: All Right, guys, it's time for suck and sweet Brittany,
Speaker 2: what is your sweet? I know you're married, but we
Speaker 2: also have another sweet fet Yes, obviously, get married my sweet.
Speaker 1: This week would have to be Can I say I
Speaker 1: made the ultimate comeback of all comebacks on Dancing with
Speaker 1: the Stars? I got shat on last week? He didn't
Speaker 1: get shot on. I was at the bottom of the
Speaker 1: leaderboard and he said I was drunken a party. He
Speaker 1: also said I didn't use my hips. It was a disare.
Speaker 1: So I got shot on. Fine, I don't care. We laughed,
Speaker 1: and we laughed. We laughed. You did care, though, that's
Speaker 1: the problem. You cared quite a bit. I actually didn't.
Speaker 1: I was like, you expect it, right, you know, you
Speaker 1: go in to expect to be shut on. You know
Speaker 1: that that's a part of the show. You know you're
Speaker 1: not a dancer. You expect that.
Speaker 2: Craig, I mean, for everyone who's watched it, you know
Speaker 2: Craig is going to say something nasty.
Speaker 1: He just is.
Speaker 2: But he's also going to say something nice afterwards. But
Speaker 2: the thing is we're so negatively gird, we only hear
Speaker 2: the nasty thing. I think he said he actually like
Speaker 2: enjoyed your dance and stuff as well. He said he
Speaker 2: enjoyed my enthusiasm.
Speaker 1: That's such a like a not that's like a backhanded
Speaker 1: like good good try. You were happy you smiled out there.
Speaker 2: That's what you say to a kid as well at
Speaker 2: school who's like doing terribly and you're like, but she's
Speaker 2: really enthusiastic.
Speaker 1: And it also just means that they talked to me.
Speaker 1: He essentially said, you were terrible, but you had good energy.
Speaker 1: That's what you got the Participation award. Yeah. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: I did the samba, which is really hard. It's like
Speaker 1: a real hippie one. It's very technical, and I did
Speaker 1: really well and I was shocked, but I got the
Speaker 1: first nine of the season. Yeah, and I pretty bad
Speaker 1: here it is. I was, yeah, I was like I
Speaker 1: got a nine. I was like, pockya. I was really stoked,
Speaker 1: and it was like, have a look at my instagram
Speaker 1: if you haven't seen it. But I had this really
Speaker 1: hard flip thing where I had to like flip in
Speaker 1: the air and land on his shoulder as like the
Speaker 1: finale with your ass and his face, with my ass
Speaker 1: in his face. I hadn't been able to do it.
Speaker 1: I can't tell you. I was almost in tears. I
Speaker 1: was beside myself, begging my partner Craig to change the
Speaker 1: final move because I could not get it, and we'd
Speaker 1: been doing it for five weeks. I was like, I
Speaker 1: was like, when's enough enough? Like how long until we
Speaker 1: do a backup? He's like, we're not doing a backup.
Speaker 1: You'll be fine. So I went into it not being
Speaker 1: able to do it. I think i'd maybe pulled it
Speaker 1: off badly once and we just did it. I just
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was the adrenaline, but it
Speaker 1: felt really good, like you know what it's like, laws
Speaker 1: like you spent so long trying to do something. I
Speaker 1: don't think I ever now the left, but it felt
Speaker 1: really good.
Speaker 3: Ah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did one about elst Waltz's. Yeah, you did
Speaker 1: a spin. We had a few spins. No like the
Speaker 1: big air one I remember you did. Didn't remember.
Speaker 2: Let's ago.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm just fakeryone's going to let it up. I'll
Speaker 1: just take it. You did that quadruple backflip twist. That's true,
Speaker 1: I did that. Yeah, cart will into a backflip into
Speaker 1: a lyft. Yeah, that's right, you're eleven, I got I
Speaker 1: got perfect scores the Highes School with the Stars history
Speaker 1: now that I remember, Yeah, I think you won the award.
Speaker 1: I can't remeever, And my suck is it hasn't happened yet.
Speaker 1: But Ben is leaving at the end of the week,
Speaker 1: so I know that that I'm going to be. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I might not be in a good way next week, guys.
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you that it's going to be the
Speaker 1: hardest goodbye we've ever had.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it will be at least like this time. You
Speaker 2: can be like, well, list, I know you come back.
Speaker 1: He's got it illegally obliged.
Speaker 2: She doesn't have to divorce someone from a different Yeah, yep, yep,
Speaker 2: he doesn't have to divorce me.
Speaker 1: Guys, he can just not come back. It's not a
Speaker 1: homing pigeon anyway. What's yours? All right? My suck for
Speaker 1: the week.
Speaker 2: To be fair, I don't have a suck this week,
Speaker 2: and I know that that kind of goes against the rules.
Speaker 1: I don't have a suck.
Speaker 2: I feel pretty great and also I've kind of come out.
Speaker 2: I'm in a good point of the pregnancy, Like I
Speaker 2: feel good, I'm positive about it.
Speaker 1: You weed all over yourself on a boat.
Speaker 2: That's fine, honestly if that's the lowest of the low,
Speaker 2: Like it's also the suck of every week. But also
Speaker 2: like at this point of pregnancy with Lola, I was
Speaker 2: waking up every day vomiting like every single day, and
Speaker 2: I had chronic pain.
Speaker 1: I was in and out of hospital.
Speaker 2: So like, these are just a very different pregnancy. I
Speaker 2: honestly sometimes forget that I'm pregnant, as does everyone else
Speaker 2: have seem Yeah, except when I pissed my pants. But
Speaker 2: my sweet for the week is it's work related, but
Speaker 2: Tony May related. We just had our biggest month ever
Speaker 2: of like business in the fifteen years that we've done
Speaker 2: Tony May Lunch.
Speaker 1: So usually the biggest month.
Speaker 2: Of the year is November obviously like Black Fridays, everyone's
Speaker 2: Christmas shopping. But we've just done our end of financial
Speaker 2: sales and we did the same figures in June as
Speaker 2: what we did in November last year, so we've doubled
Speaker 2: our business size.
Speaker 1: You're welcome. That must have been my wedding ring six months. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it must have been the pushes that I did. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I appreciate you. No, I'm just really glad. That's awesome,
Speaker 1: that's you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've invested heaps in the company of the last
Speaker 2: little bit, Like we've done two renovations.
Speaker 1: We've done a whole new website field. Nice to see
Speaker 1: that it pays off. Yeah, it's been a really bit.
Speaker 2: We've hired heaps some new stuff, Like we've got a
Speaker 2: staff dinner next week and there's like twenty three people coming,
Speaker 2: so that's really cool. But we have been in this
Speaker 2: real growth phase. And it's also really scary because my
Speaker 2: sister's very conservative, so she's my business partner. She's super
Speaker 2: conservative when it comes to spending money, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: you've got.
Speaker 1: To spend money to make money and it doesn't always
Speaker 1: go downe. Well, I think both things can be true.
Speaker 1: I think they're good to be in business together, and
Speaker 1: I think you have two of you, it might not
Speaker 1: end up. Well, it's life on God.
Speaker 2: But the problem is, in the past, we've always been understocked,
Speaker 2: so like we've always sold out of things way too
Speaker 2: early during sale periods and stuff, and we've just had
Speaker 2: not a high enough stock supply to be able to service,
Speaker 2: and so we didn't really know what the limit was, right, Like,
Speaker 2: we didn't know how many orders we would have got
Speaker 2: had we had that stock on hand. And so we
Speaker 2: really took a punt this end of financial year and
Speaker 2: like we really kind of got ourselves prepared and it
Speaker 2: was a gamble and it really paid off. And so
Speaker 2: it's been like a very very very business rewarding month
Speaker 2: for us. And I think, yeah, and I can now
Speaker 2: say to Alsia and be like.
Speaker 1: It's all gonna be refine. So now we've got to
Speaker 1: get pre we got to get prepped for Black Friday.
Speaker 2: But we've been doing this like fifteen years now, and
Speaker 2: it really was just this moment where we had like
Speaker 2: we were so proud of ourselves.
