Speaker 6: Frost, thanks so much for having you.
Speaker 4: It is coming in always a pleasure. We love you
Speaker 4: so much. But I'm very intrigued because we did see
Speaker 4: you on our screens. There's been a few years, right
Speaker 4: we saw you. I mean you burst onto the screens
Speaker 4: on the Bachelor and Bachelorette. Then we all fell in
Speaker 4: love with you as an actress on Home and Away.
Speaker 3: Then you've sort of disappeared for a couple of years.
Speaker 4: You pro created and you're had a child, you got married,
Speaker 4: fell in love, all that stuff, all.
Speaker 6: The fun stuff. Yeah, I've just actually been a bit
Speaker 6: sleep deprived looking after a small child. So that's where
Speaker 6: I've been. But you know he's worth it. So that's
Speaker 6: all right, Well Ruda has it.
Speaker 3: You're coming back to our screen.
Speaker 4: I am.
Speaker 6: It's very exciting. I've got a new travel show. Jordie,
Speaker 6: Ted and I have traveled around Australia and we've got
Speaker 6: our show. It's called Jordie Salmon Ted's Adventures.
Speaker 4: It's actually so so I feel like it's like like
Speaker 4: playgroup or something like a preschool show.
Speaker 1: Like the title is Blue House and Rhythm though, like,
Speaker 1: so Ted is one now, isn't it?
Speaker 3: Your little boy?
Speaker 1: What I noticed when I became a mum is that
Speaker 1: so often people talk about how you're never gonna do
Speaker 1: things again. You're never gonna travel, you're never going to sleep,
Speaker 1: you're never going to X Y Z. But you kind
Speaker 1: of threw that out the window and you were like,
Speaker 1: not only am I going to travel, I'm gonna make
Speaker 1: a TV show about how you can travel with the baby.
Speaker 3: What was that like?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean that was exactly why we wanted to
Speaker 6: do it, because we didn't want our lifestyle to change.
Speaker 6: Jordie and I love traveling, we love caravanning, and we
Speaker 6: wanted to take Ted along for the ride, and I
Speaker 6: think it's exciting to show people, especially young families. You're like, mate,
Speaker 6: you can still do it. I mean the sleep part
Speaker 6: you definitely don't get sleep.
Speaker 3: But I can't do that bit.
Speaker 6: You can't do that bit. But apart from that, it's
Speaker 6: all pretty good.
Speaker 3: You've traveled around the country with a baby.
Speaker 4: Where for a family with kids, out of all the
Speaker 4: places you've been, is like your number one hotspot where
Speaker 4: you're like, you should go there as a family, you
Speaker 4: should experience this with a child.
Speaker 6: I love the Red Center, I love going through the
Speaker 6: middle of Australia. I love the red dirt, I love
Speaker 6: the outback. I love learning about our culture and it's
Speaker 6: just a really cool experience and I love that we
Speaker 6: got to share that with little Ted.
Speaker 1: Do you know, with having a baby and traveling with
Speaker 1: a baby, sometimes I think when they can't move, it's
Speaker 1: actually easier to do it. So in those first few months,
Speaker 1: like you can achieve so much. But now Ted's won
Speaker 1: and no doubt he's walking and getting into things and
Speaker 1: being quite annoying because that's what toddlers do. Like, could
Speaker 1: you imagine yourself traveling now with him this age?
Speaker 6: Well, I mean You're exactly right. He was just a
Speaker 6: little blob, so you could just carry him around.
Speaker 3: You're like, God, parenting's so easy. Leave him in a
Speaker 3: caravan for a while. Yeah, I have a crack in
Speaker 3: the window.
Speaker 6: Yeah. I mean now he's crawling and he's trying to climb,
Speaker 6: and he's almost walking. We're actually still caravan, and we
Speaker 6: caravan down here. We drove the caravan down here my mates.
Speaker 6: I got up with my mates yesterday and we're at
Speaker 6: this beautiful dinner and and I was like, I'm saying
Speaker 6: the caravan. They're like, oh, you can stay with us,
Speaker 6: and I'm like, I enjoy this, this is fun.
Speaker 3: Stop hitting me, this is great, Sorry for me, And.
Speaker 6: I'm like, no, this is his lifestyle choice. It's so
Speaker 6: much harder because you can like bang his head. He's
Speaker 6: climbing and crawling. You always have to grab him. I
Speaker 6: now understand. You know how you see those kids that
Speaker 6: have the monkey backpacks.
Speaker 2: The hardest tales, Yeah, delicious.
Speaker 6: And they look like little dogs on leashes. Yeah, I
Speaker 6: understand that and getting it.
Speaker 1: People say that's cruel, but I actually think it's for
Speaker 1: the child's best.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I'm with you.
Speaker 5: Imagine being like an old couple pulling up to a
Speaker 5: big forty in the middle of ten Worth.
Speaker 2: That Sam Frott with a child on the lead, a
Speaker 2: caravan with a child on a terry toweling.
Speaker 3: Che can I can I contribute to this?
Speaker 4: I worked as a nanny in Italy and when I
Speaker 4: first got there my family, I say, my family that
Speaker 4: I was nating for. They made me put the kids
Speaker 4: on leashes with these backpacks and I was mortified because
Speaker 4: that a thing in Australia. What I can say is
Speaker 4: it's brilliant, but the kids turn into little shits because
Speaker 4: they don't understand danger, because they know when they trip
Speaker 4: you just hold them Mark and they don't they don't
Speaker 4: hit the ground.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's true. Sometimes they have to learn the hard way.
Speaker 4: Loam the mother role model.
Speaker 2: We all need compliments.
Speaker 3: Well, you love having you on the show.
Speaker 2: Sam, You're welcome anytime. It's a Channel seven right. The
Speaker 2: new show very exciting with a.
Speaker 4: Seven network and it's about March thirty one.
Speaker 3: I'll be watching it.
Speaker 5: Jeordie, Sam and Ted's Adventure. Sam Frost, we love you,
Speaker 5: thanks for coming on, Thanks so much.
Speaker 3: All right, coming up thirteen one oh six five.
Speaker 1: I want to know whether you think destination weddings are selfish,
Speaker 1: because there is this one woman online who has gone
Speaker 1: absolutely viral, and I want to know if she's in
Speaker 1: the wrong or not.
Speaker 2: Sam for us, what do you think destination weddings selfish?
Speaker 2: Or I'm all for it?
Speaker 6: Then you have, like the day before, the day after,
Speaker 6: you have a whole week.
Speaker 2: Of just celebration.
Speaker 3: What if no one wanted to come?
Speaker 2: Too bad?
Speaker 3: So sad?
Speaker 2: All right, we'll pull the country next, all right?
Speaker 3: Thirteen one oh six five.
Speaker 1: I want to know what your opinion is on destination
Speaker 1: weddings and whether you think that they are a little
Speaker 1: bit selfish or not.
Speaker 2: Is that supposed to be Hawaiian music?
Speaker 5: Meet?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 3: I feel like? I'm in an elevator.
Speaker 2: It's kind of nondescript destination.
Speaker 1: No, it's it's pretty Maybe we're in the aeroplane and
Speaker 1: we're about to go to the destination. Okay, but hear
Speaker 1: me out. There is a woman online. Her name is Sarah.
Speaker 1: She has just gone viral. She's from the States, and
Speaker 1: she has absolutely unleashed on her guest list for her wedding.
Speaker 1: So she organized a destination wedding. She invited one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty people, and of that one hundred and fifty people,
Speaker 1: only nine people rsvp'ed right that they were going to come.
Speaker 1: So that's brutal, brutal. So that wedding was supposed to
Speaker 1: be in Thailand, which can we get out of the elevator?
Speaker 1: We're off their or So then she changed the location
Speaker 1: to try and make it closer, to make it slightly
Speaker 1: more convenient for everyone. She still wanted it to be
Speaker 1: a destination, but she lives in America. She changed it
Speaker 1: to Hawaii, sow Whi is a little bit closer, a
Speaker 1: little bit cheaper for everyone. So ten people are coming,
Speaker 1: seven people RSVP is that less.
Speaker 3: It's less people than original.
Speaker 1: So this is what she had to say on her post,
Speaker 1: at the risk of sounding entitled, I have to vent today.
Speaker 1: When we invited our friends and family to our destination
Speaker 1: wedding in Thailand, only nine people RSVP'd out of one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty, And I get it. Paying three K
Speaker 1: to share my special day might be too much for
Speaker 1: some of you, but I'd pay it for yours. But
Speaker 1: then when we changed the wedding to be in Hawaii
Speaker 1: so it's within everyone's reach, only seven of you RSVP,
Speaker 1: it costs less, but less of you want to come?
Speaker 1: Is that what you think of my partner and me?
Speaker 1: You can't spare two k to come share our happiness?
Speaker 1: And then she says that if they're not going to come,
Speaker 1: she's going to delete them all off Facebook and good
Speaker 1: luck keeping up with our lives.
Speaker 2: Then what that's mole?
Speaker 1: Is she the mole or is it a Is it
Speaker 1: a like you know too much to expect that your
Speaker 1: friends are going to pay this money to come to
Speaker 1: destination wedding?
Speaker 2: R Yeah, that attitude.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think if you're going to have a destination wedding,
Speaker 5: you have to be completely okay with people saying no.
Speaker 3: There has to be an expectation that people are going
Speaker 3: to say no. And I know.
Speaker 4: I and also, hang on, I'm actually mad about this
Speaker 4: when she said when she said you won't even spend
Speaker 4: two K, I'm calling bullshit. No one is spending two
Speaker 4: k to get from America to Thailand. Accommodation totally way
Speaker 4: more presence address health insurance like there is travel adaptors,
Speaker 4: there is traveled health adjuances, the tourist guidebooks.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I thought when I read this,
Speaker 1: I was like Okay, only nine or seven people are
Speaker 1: going to come to your wedding. The reason is because
Speaker 1: you're an asshole, Like nobody speaks to their friends like this.
Speaker 1: And if you're the type of person who's going to
Speaker 1: write a rant like this on your Facebook page where
Speaker 1: your friends can read it, that's why you.
Speaker 3: Don't have friends want to come to your wedding. I do.
Speaker 4: Look, I'm gonna put it out there because I love
Speaker 4: you too, and you my closest friends.
Speaker 3: I do hope to.
Speaker 4: Have a destination even just put it out there now,
Speaker 4: but maybe something like Bali.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I do it for you, but
Speaker 3: I would know. I like Bali, I'll come there. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I know that you can.
Speaker 2: Work there, while I like Brent. What's your boyfriend's name?
Speaker 1: He's nice, Peter, Paul, Benjamin, And I know that.
Speaker 4: When you ask people to do that, you have to
Speaker 4: expect them to not be able to come.
Speaker 5: I agree what people are calling. It's clearly fired up
Speaker 5: the nation. George, Yet, would you would you do it?
Speaker 5: Have you have you had a destination wedding?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I would do it and I have had it.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I don't think you can
Speaker 1: expect everyone to come, and I don't think it's rude
Speaker 1: to ask it nonetheless, but yeah, you kind of had expectations. Also,
Speaker 1: it weeds out the people who don't want to come.
Speaker 1: It weeds out all the people who are kind of
Speaker 1: like on the periphery of your friendship.
Speaker 3: Georgiett, how many people came to you?
Speaker 1: No, it wasn't my wedding.
Speaker 4: I've been to one. I haven't heard one though.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but most people were from that location for everyone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't have.
Speaker 1: Many friends in BALI wait, lindsay, no, following Instagram is
Speaker 1: being selfish by having that?
Speaker 2: Lindsay, Hi, what about you? I agree with the destination wedding.
Speaker 5: I don't think there's elfish at all.
Speaker 1: I think it's rude to be upset with somebody for
Speaker 1: having a dream wedding.
Speaker 4: But if you are going to have.
Speaker 1: That wedding overseas, you're going to expect that some people
Speaker 1: can't make it because everybody has budgets. So you need
Speaker 1: to lead to yeah, okay, what if you were having
Speaker 1: a destination wedding and only nine of your friends said
Speaker 1: that they would come out of one hundred and fifty,
Speaker 1: would you be angry at your friends?
Speaker 3: Or would you be like fair, I get it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I'd get it, and I'd think for who
Speaker 1: I've got more honey, more honeymoon.
Speaker 5: Money, money on the flip side, and you would be
Speaker 5: so sad if if since people turned up to your wedding,
Speaker 5: that is so sad.
Speaker 3: Yeah, your mum wants to come.
Speaker 2: Do you know what, I'm going to have a destination funeral, Mitch.
Speaker 3: Do you want no one at your funeral?
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 5: But I'm going to get my corpse flown to Abu
Speaker 5: Dhabi and I want I want to have a funeral
Speaker 5: in the bers Khalifa.
Speaker 2: Mitch.
Speaker 3: I will go. It doesn't matter wherever you take your corpse.
Speaker 2: I will come.
Speaker 3: Laura, I'm not going.
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, You're not invited.
Speaker 3: I'm coming to Abu Dhabi my.
Speaker 2: Funeral for a funeral in a long time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, David Company, I can save up for it. Okay,
Speaker 3: let's move on.
Speaker 2: This is well. Listen, speaking of great radio.
Speaker 5: Next, we are giving the airwaves with the pickup to
Speaker 5: Britney Hockley.
Speaker 4: Yes, because I have some news, the news that has
Speaker 4: not only stopped the nation, but the entire world, and
Speaker 4: I'm really upsetly we haven't spoken about it here yet
Speaker 4: at the pickup.
Speaker 5: I don't know how I feel about this, Laura, about
Speaker 5: what what we're about to broadcast to the world.
Speaker 4: Oh well, I'm sorry that I want to bring some
Speaker 4: news and education. This has literally what I'm about to
Speaker 4: tell you has not only stopped Australia, but has stopped
Speaker 4: the entire world.
Speaker 3: It's just the greatest mystery of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: To give some context, every every week and like every
Speaker 1: day when we're in the show, we had this group
Speaker 1: chat where we throw in all of our ideas and
Speaker 1: we all kind of toss it into one pot and
Speaker 1: then we pull out the best things. Every single day,
Speaker 1: Britt has sent the same article and then all the
Speaker 1: updates of the article because she has been desperate to
Speaker 1: talk about it that has been vetoed up until this point.
Speaker 5: Honest to god, Producer Grace So turned your microphone on.
Speaker 5: She has sent this to you personally outside the group.
Speaker 4: I had to take her aside personally and be like, Britt,
Speaker 4: what's going on with this?
Speaker 3: I need to know do you have like personal investments.
Speaker 2: In this, like are getting paid?
Speaker 3: Is there somewhere you want to take this specifically?
Speaker 4: Am I a sting ray that is pregnant. No, Grace,
Speaker 4: I don't have a personal investment. Okay, let me tell
Speaker 4: you the story, and I think every listener is gonna
Speaker 4: be on the edge of their seat. If you haven't heard,
Speaker 4: but it's as publicized as Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3: I'm sure you've heard it.
Speaker 4: The Great, the Great sting ray. The great stingray Mystery
Speaker 4: of twenty twenty four. There is a female sting ray
Speaker 4: in an aquarium. His name is Charlotte. It's a beautiful
Speaker 4: looking sting ray, very long stinger. She has fallen pregnant,
Speaker 4: which is amazing, right.
Speaker 3: We love that Charlotte. We're so happy.
Speaker 2: Did she struggle?
Speaker 4: Well, funny you should ask Mitch. The mystery is she's
Speaker 4: in a tank with no stingrays, no other sting rays,
Speaker 4: and only sharks. So everyone is like, how the hell
Speaker 4: did this sting ray get pregnant?
Speaker 3: The immaculate shark conception.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So, I've wanted to talk about this for so long,
Speaker 4: and because I haven't been allowed, so many other things
Speaker 4: have happened updates fast. The scientists around the world. Stingray
Speaker 4: scientists didn't quite know how this happened, so they thought
Speaker 4: that she had bite marks on her from a shark,
Speaker 4: and sharks are known to bite when they have sex,
Speaker 4: so mating season.
Speaker 2: I also think they're just known to bite for stuff.
Speaker 4: Yes, but when they have sex they bite. So there
Speaker 4: was a theory going around that this is the first
Speaker 4: shark ray and I think that's actually a thing.
Speaker 3: Sting shark.
Speaker 1: What's gonna come out like just a big gnashing teeth
Speaker 1: and a skinner?
Speaker 5: Wait, hold on, so you want to talk about a
Speaker 5: pregnant sting ray that's fathered.
Speaker 2: By a shark.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, is that not mind blowing?
Speaker 2: It's actually pretty I'm got into it.
Speaker 3: I mean it's interesting. Yes, listen, where are we taking this?
Speaker 3: It gets well, it gets better, thanks for asking.
Speaker 4: So, so a lot of scientist jump on board. A
Speaker 4: lot of scientists jump and they're like, look, there's that
Speaker 4: didn't happen. There's no way it cannot scientifically happen. A
Speaker 4: shark has not mated with a sting rays. Everyone's like, well,
Speaker 4: how the hell has it happened? Apparently there's something called
Speaker 4: parthenogenesis that some other animals do. Bear with me, Amphibians,
Speaker 4: some birds and fish. They they sex themselves.
Speaker 2: Wow, there's everybody.
Speaker 5: Else They've always got a bit fishy, always felt like
Speaker 5: I could some birds.
Speaker 4: They do, so it is incredible, scientifically incredible. They are
Speaker 4: falling pregnant and reproducing multiple pups, because a pupp is
Speaker 4: what a stingray baby is called. Without just alone at
Speaker 4: session at the back of the aquarium and they've produced pups.
Speaker 4: But I want to add to this one more thing.
Speaker 4: Did you know stingrays? And there's something to be said
Speaker 4: for this breathe Did you know stingrays? What they do
Speaker 4: when it's mating season is they just go healthful leather, right.
Speaker 4: They just have sex with so much Listen, they have
Speaker 4: sex with so many other stingrays. Then when they fall pregnant,
Speaker 4: which is three to four months, they carry multiple pups
Speaker 4: to all different fathers. You can have as many in
Speaker 4: there from different dads in the one pregnancy.
Speaker 2: It's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: You're not impressed, Laura, I am impressed, But I think
Speaker 1: there's nothing more beautiful in life than seeing someone really
Speaker 1: excited about something. And my true joy from this is
Speaker 1: coming from your level of excitement around Charlotte and her babies.
Speaker 4: Well, we'll give you an update next week because she
Speaker 4: absolutely going to Taylor.
Speaker 3: Birth in one week ago she impregnated herself. Incredible.
Speaker 4: Let's get her on the line, Hi, Charlotte, she's here
Speaker 4: on the phone.
Speaker 2: Hi Charlotte, that's under the sea.
Speaker 1: You know what, that's probably enough from us, and I'm
Speaker 1: going to go to Taylor Swift now, is that okay?
Speaker 3: Can I leave?
Speaker 6: You know what?
Speaker 5: Who actually would have loved the story of Charlotte, because,
Speaker 5: to be honest, at its core, it's a feminist story.
Speaker 3: Taylor, I don't need no man, Swift, you don't.
Speaker 2: Need a man coming the tank coming straight.
Speaker 3: She gets down with her self and the quarrium. Okay,
Speaker 3: we are getting canceled.
Speaker 2: Please join us next week. Say that
