Speaker 5: then what you full stop space, I'm into silence.
Speaker 3: I give you breathe. I don't know.
Speaker 5: I haven't seen my fiance for fourteen weeks.
Speaker 3: Fourteen weeks.
Speaker 5: It's like you guys are counting, I don't know, fourteen
Speaker 5: three and a half months, yeah, just shy four months,
Speaker 5: which is insane.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a long time, especially when you guys are
Speaker 3: in the midst of planning a wedding.
Speaker 2: How's like, who's counting?
Speaker 5: I'm like fourteen weeks. We actually count down the day.
Speaker 5: It's thirteen weeks too long. I'm only it's.
Speaker 3: Like fourteen weeks too long, nah, because you can do.
Speaker 2: A week here and there. Keep it spicy.
Speaker 3: What are your plans while you're there?
Speaker 2: A lot of pasta. My sister is going to fly over.
Speaker 5: She lives in Scotland, so she's got a little daughter
Speaker 5: who's I've only met once in my life. She's only
Speaker 5: eight months old, so they're going to go there. But
Speaker 5: to be honest, there's no plans really, I'm just going
Speaker 5: to adapt around his life there. But I haven't seen
Speaker 5: his new home in Italy, so it's like going to
Speaker 5: be a new exploration for me and I'm very excited.
Speaker 5: To be honest, I would meet him anywhere in the
Speaker 5: world right now.
Speaker 2: That is how I feel.
Speaker 4: I can't wait for the updates of you drinking Afaol
Speaker 4: spirits whilst I'm taking care of my.
Speaker 3: Kids on school holidays.
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't look.
Speaker 3: Mute me, mute me.
Speaker 4: Now, I'm sorry that I just unfollowed you whilst you're
Speaker 4: on your viewers Like, why if you blocked me, I
Speaker 4: couldn't tag you.
Speaker 5: Have you ever thought about your partner and if they
Speaker 5: were a piece of clothing, what.
Speaker 2: Would they be?
Speaker 4: I mean, I've thought about my partner heaps, but I've
Speaker 4: never thought that they were a piece of clothing.
Speaker 5: Now, I know you think I'm crazy, but this is
Speaker 5: off the back of Logan Yuri's book How Not to
Speaker 5: Die Alone. Now, if you've never heard of Logan Uri,
Speaker 5: she is an amazing author and a relationship expert. She's
Speaker 5: actually the relationship expert for Hinge. We have interviewed her
Speaker 5: on lifelun Cut podcasts, the podcast.
Speaker 2: That Laura and I do. She's brilliant, she is amazing.
Speaker 4: She has a bit of an odd theory though which
Speaker 4: I can't one percent get my head around.
Speaker 5: She asked the question so when she does one on
Speaker 5: ones with a person, she says to them, if your
Speaker 5: partner were a piece of clothing in your closet, something
Speaker 5: that you wear, what would they be? And the answer
Speaker 5: is supposed to be indicative of like your true deep
Speaker 5: feelings of them. And what I mean by that is
Speaker 5: some people might say when they think really deeply, oh, you.
Speaker 2: Know, they used to be like this big, beautiful.
Speaker 5: Favorite woolen jumper, but now it's like it's been in
Speaker 5: a dryer too long and it's just itchy and scratches
Speaker 5: me all the time. And then they break down what
Speaker 5: that means in terms of okay, cool, the relationship has
Speaker 5: changed to a point that they're annoying.
Speaker 4: This really screams to me that we need to label
Speaker 4: things too much. There's too many labels. We've gone too far.
Speaker 4: Everything needs needs a terminology, everything needs to be psychoanalyzed. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I've never thought of my husband prior to us talking
Speaker 4: about this of being a piece of clothing.
Speaker 2: I think it is really interesting.
Speaker 5: I think it's a great thought starter and a great
Speaker 5: conversation starter for your partners. So like, go home tonight
Speaker 5: or right now and ask your partner this question. I
Speaker 5: asked Ben this. We all everyone in the room when
Speaker 5: and ask their partners this. And I said to Ben,
Speaker 5: don't overthink it. If I were a piece of clothing
Speaker 5: in your wardrobe, what would I be? And without missing
Speaker 5: a beat, he said, you would be my sneakers.
Speaker 4: Sneakers, and my immediate thought was like, why are you
Speaker 4: trying to run away from me?
Speaker 2: No, I was like, why are you trying to walk
Speaker 2: all over me?
Speaker 5: Like I didn't you know. I was like, sneakers is weird?
Speaker 5: And I said why would Iver be sneakers? And he said, well,
Speaker 5: because you know I have a sneaker fetish.
Speaker 2: He loves his sneakers.
Speaker 5: He's got a hundred pairs of shoes, he loves them,
Speaker 5: and he takes such good care of them.
Speaker 2: He said, you'd always be with me.
Speaker 5: I would always look after you because you're my favorite
Speaker 5: piece of clothing.
Speaker 2: So we got there in the end, and I thought
Speaker 2: that that was really wholesome.
Speaker 4: Okay, but I was gonna describe Mac. I'd call him
Speaker 4: a linen shirt.
Speaker 2: Specifically linen.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's also because he's always wearing linen shirts,
Speaker 4: so that that's what I think of as well, but
Speaker 4: also like breezy and like you know, like so comfortable
Speaker 4: and like great all seasons.
Speaker 5: I would say Ben would be a body suit because
Speaker 5: I want him close to me.
Speaker 2: No, Okay, Producer Grays, you have no.
Speaker 4: Because we all heard what you said prior to him.
Speaker 4: That was, yeah, don't know why you want him to
Speaker 4: be a bodysuit right? What about you, producer grays, what
Speaker 4: would your partner be?
Speaker 6: I asked my wife what I would be, and she
Speaker 6: said I would be a cute, sexy, little halt neck top.
Speaker 6: And why I'm strappy, a bit unhinged, ready to fall apart.
Speaker 6: Looks really cute, but isn't the most functional for all weather,
Speaker 6: but you love it anyway.
Speaker 2: I think that that is actually such.
Speaker 5: A brilliant, well thought our answer, and it's just enough
Speaker 5: of a compliment. Sandwich like you're a little unhinged, like
Speaker 5: maybe you're gona fall down a flash boob, but maybe you're.
Speaker 4: Not, like who knows, or have ment to breakdown? Who knows?
Speaker 4: There's so many of these. If you did think of
Speaker 4: a piece of clothing, or you asked your partner and
Speaker 4: they did call you a piece of clothing, go on
Speaker 4: to the pickup will.
Speaker 3: Link the articles and then you can figure it out.
Speaker 4: But there's things like, for example, statement belt, the person
Speaker 4: who adds flare and definition to otherwise ordinary situations. Blazer
Speaker 4: polish when needed, but can be thrown over jeans for brunch.
Speaker 4: The reliable grown up who somehow manages to pay bills
Speaker 4: on time, but still knows how to have fun. This one,
Speaker 4: the knockoff Gucci handbag, looks impressive from a distance, but
Speaker 4: falls apart under scrutiny, like we will be there.
Speaker 3: I'm surprised no one's describing me as that, britt.
Speaker 4: I want to talk to you about wedding trends across them,
Speaker 4: specifically something that's been deemed a tacky wedding trend, and
Speaker 4: I want to get your take on this. So there
Speaker 4: is a couple that's gone quite viral on there. You know,
Speaker 4: the how reddit has all these different threads. One of
Speaker 4: them is called the wedding shaming Reddit.
Speaker 2: That is a thread.
Speaker 3: It's a thread at that.
Speaker 4: Feel horrible, I know, but it's very potentially.
Speaker 3: But the problem is.
Speaker 4: Is that you know that if you make it on there,
Speaker 4: it's because one of your guests posts something about your wedding,
Speaker 4: Like that's how you end up on this wedding shaming thread?
Speaker 3: What dirt by? I know?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 4: Well, look, there's this woman basically like they've had a
Speaker 4: beautiful wedding. The rest of the wedding looks gorgeous, but
Speaker 4: there's one thing that they've done that's been deemed not
Speaker 4: only controversial, it's deemed narcissistic, tacky, and also bridezilla esque.
Speaker 4: So you know how you walk into usually the reception
Speaker 4: and it has like a welcome to the wedding, and
Speaker 4: then there's another sign that's got the table seating plan. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so this is what it says, welcome to Lauren's wedding,
Speaker 4: and then in small text at the bottom, it says
Speaker 4: featuring Tom.
Speaker 3: I'm guessing it says Tom.
Speaker 4: The name is scribbled out, but like they didn't do
Speaker 4: a good job of it, so featuring the groom.
Speaker 2: Okay, yep.
Speaker 4: Now people are saying that this is such a red
Speaker 4: flag for self centered narcissism, that she comes off as
Speaker 4: a total bradzilla. She's made the wedding completely about herself
Speaker 4: when it's supposed to be about the two of them.
Speaker 4: People have taken it very seriously. Obviously he's in on
Speaker 4: the joke. Obviously he knows that she was going to
Speaker 4: make that sign. I mean, I doubt she just made
Speaker 4: the sign, and then you know, everyone rocked up and
Speaker 4: it was a great, big surprise. But people feel very
Speaker 4: strongly that this is a real indicator that she is
Speaker 4: just so up herself that.
Speaker 3: She can't, you know, include her own husband.
Speaker 2: Throw up, grow up.
Speaker 5: That is what I think people need to get an
Speaker 5: actual life.
Speaker 2: This is very obviously a joke.
Speaker 3: Well, people feel bad for him, like he's hard done by,
Speaker 3: he could not care less.
Speaker 2: Spoiler, the guy does not care.
Speaker 5: This is literally like a lighthearted joke to be like, hey,
Speaker 5: guess what, he's probably done nothing to plan it. We
Speaker 5: all know that the majority of women are far more
Speaker 5: excited or do most of the planning in a wedding.
Speaker 2: This is probably just a lighthearted lean into that. I
Speaker 2: agree with.
Speaker 4: That part, but I think that people have gotten angry
Speaker 4: for the wrong reasons. Everyone's like calling her a bride zilla.
Speaker 4: Everyone's calling her horrible names, and I'm like, Okay, she's
Speaker 4: made a joke. She probably organized the entire wedding. Like,
Speaker 4: I'm sure that there are guys out there are amazing
Speaker 4: and do a lot of planning as well. I do
Speaker 4: not doubt that if you were one of those husbands, Like,
Speaker 4: absolute kudos to you.
Speaker 3: I was very lucky.
Speaker 4: My husband was an event organizer in a past life,
Speaker 4: so I just pretty much rocked up at my wedding
Speaker 4: and everything was done, but from what I have gauged
Speaker 4: from my friends, that is the vast minority.
Speaker 7: I am.
Speaker 4: Yeah, most women are the ones organizing weddings. They're doing
Speaker 4: all the planning, They're doing all the meetings, all the
Speaker 4: prep all the choices, and so I kind of look
Speaker 4: at this and I'm like, I feel like people have
Speaker 4: gotten angry for the wrong reasons.
Speaker 3: They should be angry at him for not doing more
Speaker 3: wedding planning.
Speaker 5: I genuinely believe that people need to get alive, like,
Speaker 5: why has.
Speaker 3: This that's your take home.
Speaker 5: There's no part of me that would ever walk into
Speaker 5: a friend's wedding, look at a sign and be so
Speaker 5: enraged that I would need to go and start a
Speaker 5: thread about how embarrassing and cringing and tacky it was.
Speaker 5: It's their wedding. You don't have to like it. Spoiler,
Speaker 5: it's not for you, it's for them. Have a little laugh,
Speaker 5: lean in, enjoy it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I also think that if you ever find yourself on
Speaker 4: a wedding shaming Reddit thread, you probably should assess your
Speaker 4: friend listers, who people are, who the people are that
Speaker 4: you've invited to your wedding. I don't care, do I
Speaker 4: feel strongly about it, not particularly, but I would be
Speaker 4: surprised if you did this at your wedding for it.
Speaker 2: Am I going to do this?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: Have I planned the whole wedding?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 5: Does my fiance Ben weeks Out have suits for himself
Speaker 5: or his grimsman?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: Does he even know what date it is?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Does he know where it is? I can't be sure.
Speaker 3: Well, we hope he shows up.
Speaker 2: I think he's I'm hoping. Well, I know he will.
Speaker 2: I've made sure I'm on the plane with him, like I.
Speaker 5: Will take him on the wedding.
Speaker 2: I have to escort him to the wedding. But I
Speaker 2: don't think he knows anything. But I mean, the sign's
Speaker 2: not for me.
Speaker 3: But I just think people need to relax.
Speaker 2: It's a wedding, it's about love. Who cares what the
Speaker 2: sign is?
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm even for you, Britt, You've seem fine
Speaker 4: with it, but I'm that do more.
Speaker 2: Can you just call up and cancel the sign?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 2: Thanks, Laura.
Speaker 5: I don't know if your kids are old enough yet
Speaker 5: to be playing pranks, but I love a harmless, funny prank.
Speaker 3: My kids are not at the pranking age.
Speaker 4: They're barely at the age, they understand how to tell
Speaker 4: a joke, but they don't understand the punchlines. So they
Speaker 4: just say like, hey, knock, knock, can you say who's there?
Speaker 4: And then they'll go I don't know, bum face, and
Speaker 4: you're like, okay, sure, sure, sure, bum face fart or whatever.
Speaker 5: You know, Okay, So they need a few extra years.
Speaker 5: They don't get it. Yeah, they're too little. Beer's had
Speaker 5: me in hysterics. Have listen to this woman going viral
Speaker 5: online for the realization she had that her kids have
Speaker 5: played the ultimate prank on her.
Speaker 1: I have just realized that I've been emailing people from
Speaker 1: Stinky stinky poo poo fart because I just I noticed
Speaker 1: the other day that when on my Apple Watch when
Speaker 1: I exercise, came up congratulations stinky poo poo fart or
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my god, the kids have
Speaker 1: changed my name. They've actually changed my name on my emails.
Speaker 1: So I've been emailing people the school included from stinky
Speaker 1: poo poo fart hard.
Speaker 2: It's almost because of her accent.
Speaker 4: But I wouldn't even know how to do this. The
Speaker 4: fact that a kid knows how to do this, it
Speaker 4: just shows kids no technology better than we do.
Speaker 5: But imactually, if you're sitting these really important emails, like
Speaker 5: you have your own business, you're in a big meeting,
Speaker 5: and you're like warmest stinky, stinky poopoo fart.
Speaker 2: It reminded me of when I was a kid. This
Speaker 2: wasn't a harmless prank, but I thought, well, no it was.
Speaker 5: I thought it was harmless, but I didn't understand the
Speaker 5: cost involved.
Speaker 4: Like I set my mum's house on fire, so I
Speaker 4: burned their house down.
Speaker 5: No, I thought it would be really funny to prank
Speaker 5: my mom and replace her perfume with just water. And
Speaker 5: I had gotten flowers from the garden and mushed it
Speaker 5: up in the water to see if she would notice.
Speaker 5: So it was chunky water flowers.
Speaker 3: But that's really annoying.
Speaker 5: It's so annoying, Like what was I thinking? But I
Speaker 5: was like, got you and hundreds of dollars of perfume.
Speaker 4: The only thing I ever did which wasn't really a prank.
Speaker 4: I don't know how you described just took my mum's
Speaker 4: siggies and put them in the toilet because I hated
Speaker 4: her smoking.
Speaker 2: Okay, I didn't want to say so.
Speaker 4: Then she I remember, because like you couldn't flush them
Speaker 4: because I was like, well, what do I do with
Speaker 4: them now?
Speaker 3: So I put them in.
Speaker 4: The toilet and then I freaked out, so I just
Speaker 4: put them back, but they were.
Speaker 5: All way because they'd been in okay, So I buried
Speaker 5: them in the dirt.
Speaker 2: I put them under the ground.
Speaker 3: Did it work for you?
Speaker 2: I got so much trouble, so.
Speaker 4: My mom did eventually quit. But it wasn't because of
Speaker 4: the toilet sigies, that's for sure.
Speaker 2: Hey, we've got Candace on the line. Hey, Candace, have
Speaker 2: your kids played a prank on you?
Speaker 8: Ah? They haven't, But I paid a prank on my
Speaker 8: parents when I have to keep with my sister. We
Speaker 8: were brushing our teeth one night and thought it would
Speaker 8: be a good idea to put a nice layer of
Speaker 8: the jail toothpaste on our lips so that when they
Speaker 8: came to kiss us good night, they got a nice
Speaker 8: little surprise.
Speaker 2: Yuck yeahs to burn their face.
Speaker 8: Because I know it's ninky kind of fixture. So got
Speaker 8: the appropriate funk and he felt it was hilarious.
Speaker 4: Do you know what MATTJ wants to our kids? So
Speaker 4: he pranked them. Laura was still wearing nappies she was
Speaker 4: like in Knight nappies at the time. She was like, no,
Speaker 4: she was like two and a half. And he got
Speaker 4: a clean nappy and putting a teller in it and
Speaker 4: then like purposely licked it, and she freaked out, like
Speaker 4: absolutely as you would discussing, she freaked out. She started,
Speaker 4: she got really upset. She cried, and she was like,
Speaker 4: what would.
Speaker 3: You eat that? Why would you eat that? Anyway? I
Speaker 3: don't know why he felt they need to do that.
Speaker 5: That's enough of Matt and pooh, let's go Gabby, Gabby,
Speaker 5: what pranks have you played or have your kids played
Speaker 5: a prank on you?
Speaker 7: I praised it on my mom. I hid all her underwear.
Speaker 3: Why what is at the end?
Speaker 7: I can't remember. I can't remember. Why where did you
Speaker 7: put it?
Speaker 3: Where did you hide it?
Speaker 7: I can't even remember. I just know that she got
Speaker 7: really paranoid and she thought the neighbors were still in
Speaker 7: her underwear, so she would wash them in the sink
Speaker 7: in her on sweet thinking that the neighbors are stealing them.
Speaker 4: Imagine how paranoid should be when she found out her
Speaker 4: daughter was actually nicking.
Speaker 3: All her under Do you know what?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 7: No, I've in so much trouble. Would I think she
Speaker 7: was really worried.
Speaker 2: You would, because if like undies or something, where they
Speaker 2: go you know where you put them. You know, you
Speaker 2: put them on the line. You know what undies you have.
Speaker 5: If they start disappearing from like your drawing the line,
Speaker 5: I would be thinking there was a creep.
Speaker 4: To Yeah, but were you stealing them from the line
Speaker 4: or were you taking them from a drawer, because it's
Speaker 4: kind of I.
Speaker 7: Think I just took them from everywhere. I don't know,
Speaker 7: I didn't I didn't think of the consequences. I just
Speaker 7: took them and I was like supping.
Speaker 3: That is weird.
Speaker 2: How long?
Speaker 4: The weird part is what you did, right, Thanks Gabby. Well, guys,
Speaker 4: that is it from Mars at the end of the show.
