Speaker 3: Oh okay, I don't know.
Speaker 4: The two of people were making eyes before, and then
Speaker 4: I felt like I was left out at something.
Speaker 3: And now I'm worried that I've done something because.

Speaker 1: talking about that. Yeah, well something happened at the table
Speaker 1: that we were kind of cringing at. So the performance
Speaker 1: shocked at shocked at the performance of the night at
Speaker 1: the Logies was James Bay International.
Speaker 3: I love him.
Speaker 2: We didn't realize how much you loved.
Speaker 4: I love him so much and my like my early thirties,
Speaker 4: my late twenties, and this was like my breakup album.
Speaker 4: So anytime I was going through a hard time, I
Speaker 4: would put this on and cry. Some people go for
Speaker 4: a Dell, I go for James Bay. I am obsessed
Speaker 4: with him.
Speaker 5: For number of times I have cried. Singing this song
Speaker 5: on repeat is unhealthy.
Speaker 2: That's Britain. I were shocked.
Speaker 1: We tried to film you because James was before me
Speaker 1: doing a great medally. He'd just flown in from the UK,
Speaker 1: and then Laura the only persons on her feet up clappy.
Speaker 5: I was.
Speaker 3: I was side swaying.
Speaker 2: James.
Speaker 3: I'm not even ashamed. I'm not ashamed.
Speaker 2: I really love him.
Speaker 3: I love him really.
Speaker 5: Oh I love him too, And that's why I called
Speaker 5: him up and asked him to.
Speaker 3: Come into that James Bay.
Speaker 6: James, Now, I'm embarrassed. Hello, I want to hunt you,
Speaker 6: blendered his Hello. Okay, oh guys, this is a dreamer.
Speaker 6: He probably saw me from the back. I was the
Speaker 6: one right at the back of the thing. I was
Speaker 6: like slow clapping, and.
Speaker 5: He definitely did not you.
Speaker 2: You probably saw me up the back.
Speaker 1: He did not see you up Without taking credit, I've
Speaker 1: known each other for years.
Speaker 7: We know each other a long all the time, go
Speaker 7: way way back.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know too many people. I should have
Speaker 3: known this.
Speaker 1: So can I say we really this is the start
Speaker 1: of the show. We need to play some songs and
Speaker 1: then we'll talk to James.
Speaker 3: Yeah, You've gotten me through many a breakup, so I'll
Speaker 3: tell you that.
Speaker 2: Okay, is that good thing?
Speaker 4: Well, I'm happily married with two children now, So it
Speaker 4: worked out okay in the end that.
Speaker 1: One of them is strug Okay, James is here with you.
Speaker 1: Happy to stay for a bit, James.
Speaker 7: I'm down to stay this. I've seen some doughnuts' they're
Speaker 7: for you. I brought all of them, I promise, all right.
Speaker 1: Say there guys. James Bays here with this on the
Speaker 1: pick up. After this, James Bays.
Speaker 2: Here in the studio. Hello, James, Hello, it's very nice
Speaker 2: to be here.
Speaker 3: I'm so glad you're work here.
Speaker 4: But also I feel so stitched up now and out
Speaker 4: of my death because I've just added myself as a mad.
Speaker 3: Super fan and then here you are, and it was
Speaker 3: a surprise.
Speaker 7: I'm in Australia, the land of the stitch up. There's
Speaker 7: some beautiful.
Speaker 3: So we do to each other.
Speaker 2: It's fantastic, James.
Speaker 1: You performed at the Logis on Sunday night. Law was
Speaker 1: at our table on her feet dancing during Dan.
Speaker 3: Not Dance. Come On. I was saying.
Speaker 4: This album came out in twenty fourteen and it was
Speaker 4: my breakup symphony. It got me through every hard time.
Speaker 4: I was like, it's all right, everything's going to shit,
Speaker 4: but let's put some.
Speaker 3: James pay on and cry I don't know.
Speaker 2: On that album.
Speaker 7: Before I really lift people up. At the end of
Speaker 7: any song, I think, no, it's hey, things are tough.
Speaker 7: Maybe that's okay, but maybe you'll get through it. Maybe
Speaker 7: you won't, but you'll be all right. Put the album
Speaker 7: on again.
Speaker 3: I think it sometimes.
Speaker 5: Feels really good when your heartbreaking, to lean into the pain, though,
Speaker 5: and like I have sat in my car crying to
Speaker 5: let it go, singing like and I can't sing like
Speaker 5: screaming at the top of my lungs that many times.
Speaker 3: But let me just see if I can get this right.
Speaker 5: Let it Go streamed one billion, two hundred and fifteen
Speaker 5: and six hundred and fifty one, eight hundred and fifty
Speaker 5: seven times. Do you ever get sick of hearing your
Speaker 5: own song? I would love to know that.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 7: I don't get sick of playing it. Touring around the world,
Speaker 7: I have arrived sometimes in like hotels, Like I remember
Speaker 7: a few different occasions where we pull up in like
Speaker 7: the bus outside the hotel and like all the hotel stuff,
Speaker 7: like stood around the like check in desk, looking a
Speaker 7: bit pleasing themselves, and the music's playing like it's so
Speaker 7: lame you yeah, respect, with all respect it's like, guys,
Speaker 7: I'm so tired.
Speaker 2: I just gotta that's what they think it'll love this, Well, yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 8: It is.
Speaker 3: It's huge.
Speaker 7: It's massively like flattering, don't get me wrong. But at
Speaker 7: the same time, no, I don't get tired of singing
Speaker 7: it for sure, and I've sang it a lot. I
Speaker 7: hope I get to sing it like way more than
Speaker 7: I already have. And on top of that, the moment
Speaker 7: when people are singing it back to me, and there's
Speaker 7: a really like obvious good moment in the middle of
Speaker 7: the song where we can hand it to the audience
Speaker 7: and they like scream it back.
Speaker 4: When you are writing, are you drawing from your own
Speaker 4: personal experiences?
Speaker 3: You're going through your own heartbreak?
Speaker 7: If I'm not going through my own, like and I
Speaker 7: go through I think we all go through heartbreaks about
Speaker 7: all kinds of different things. By the way, it's not
Speaker 7: always as straightforward as are breaking up or whatever. And
Speaker 7: then also the other thing I find myself drawing from
Speaker 7: is like and they remain anonymous, but like friends and
Speaker 7: people that I know are going through stuff, and like,
Speaker 7: sometimes even you get like affected by what's happening in
Speaker 7: a movie and I kind of love those stories. When
Speaker 7: some of my favorite songwriters were so inspired by like
Speaker 7: a story in a book that they wrote the most
Speaker 7: beautiful heartbreak song on the most uplifting song. It's nice
Speaker 7: to there's drawing from direct personal experience, and I'm always
Speaker 7: doing that in some amount, But then you can sort
Speaker 7: of glean things from all kinds of different things that
Speaker 7: happen around you in like culture or in life or whatever.
Speaker 5: So James, you, I mean, I hope I've got this right.
Speaker 5: You've been in a relationship since you were sixteen. What
Speaker 5: I'm getting married next year. What's your advice for maintaining
Speaker 5: a healthy long term relationship. We see people, especially in
Speaker 5: the entertainment industry, they're breaking up all the time.
Speaker 7: I think you take each day as it comes. I
Speaker 7: think it's one step at a time. I think you
Speaker 7: don't leap into the future, and you don't dwell on
Speaker 7: the part or even just sort of sit in the
Speaker 7: past too much, because you can just celebrating the past,
Speaker 7: and there's remembering it and all that stuff, but just
Speaker 7: try to be present.
Speaker 3: Do you asking for a friend?
Speaker 5: Do you sing it people's weddings.
Speaker 2: On the show?
Speaker 8: You Have Me Drawn?
Speaker 3: You have me then you got Yeah, yeah, I've done it.

Speaker 5: You're real Well, it's consuming my life right now because
Speaker 5: I'm deep in wedding planning. But the funniest thing happened,
Speaker 5: and I say it's funny, It's not funny. It hurt
Speaker 5: my soul and it is going to hurt my bank account.
Speaker 5: So Ben and I were my fiance Ben. If you
Speaker 5: don't know, but Ben and I were on a FaceTime
Speaker 5: with my mom and dad and we were sort of
Speaker 5: running through some of the plans for the wedding.
Speaker 3: So it is a destination wedding.
Speaker 5: It's not happening in Australia because Ben's family's traveling from Europe.
Speaker 3: They're all in Switzerland going to Bali, which is the
Speaker 3: perfect place. Yeah, we're gonna go to Bali.
Speaker 5: But I was taught we haven't booked anything yet, but
Speaker 5: we know that's what it is. So I was running
Speaker 5: mom and dad through on the FaceTime about what the
Speaker 5: plans are and when it is, make sure they've got
Speaker 5: this week free, and Mum was like, okay, well I
Speaker 5: need to know exact details because I want to go
Speaker 5: and make sure I've booked accommodation on book flights. You know,
Speaker 5: parents are always so much more prepared, so I'm running
Speaker 5: them through and Mom I was like, Mum, don't worry
Speaker 5: about accommodation. Don't fret because Ben and I are going
Speaker 5: to cover your accommodation for those couple of days over
Speaker 5: the wedding. We have decided to pay for like our
Speaker 5: immediate family, just to thank you for traveling so far.
Speaker 3: Now immediate family six people in my family.
Speaker 5: Ben's got a couple of people in his family, so
Speaker 5: we just thought that was a nice gesture.
Speaker 3: She's like, that's so nice, thank you so much.
Speaker 5: And I was like, oh, good, Like we'll get into
Speaker 5: the find of details yet, like soon, but don't don't,
Speaker 5: don't worry yet.
Speaker 3: Hang up the phone.
Speaker 5: Within two seconds, I see a message like alert come
Speaker 5: down on my phone from Messenger Facebook Messenger there is
Speaker 5: a family chat that has all my aunties, all my uncles,
Speaker 5: all my cousins, like it is extended family. It's huge.
Speaker 3: And I see it two seconds later, drop down from
Speaker 3: my mum. Hey, everyone just got off the phone to bridge.
Speaker 3: She said she's gonna pay for everyone's accommodation for the wedding.
Speaker 3: So bad.
Speaker 4: I knew exactly where this was gonna go. Your dropped
Speaker 4: and how many people.
Speaker 5: Oh, probably like eighty people. It's like it's a huge thing.
Speaker 5: And I got I was like, oh, oh my god, Bend.
Speaker 5: I was still on the phone to band. I was like,
Speaker 5: my mom's just told the whole wedding that we're paying
Speaker 5: for them. So I get on the phone to Mom
Speaker 5: and I'm like, Mom, you need to get on there
Speaker 5: right now. You've misunderstood before anyone sees delete that. And
Speaker 5: too late, Annie's and Uncle's popping down.
Speaker 3: Oh that's so kind. Can't wait.
Speaker 2: It's they jumped on quick. They said free trip to Biley.
Speaker 2: I'm locking that in straight away, but.
Speaker 3: They probably weren't gonna come. It was gonna RVP no.
Speaker 3: And so I've got into damage control.
Speaker 5: I'm like, Mom, how do I backtrack my whole wedding
Speaker 5: and say that now I'm no longer paying for them.
Speaker 2: Cant, Brittany, you cannot pull that away from the family.
Speaker 5: Give it.
Speaker 3: I didn't give it to them.
Speaker 2: You can't offer it to your family and then say
Speaker 2: psch prank.
Speaker 3: No because didn't actually offer it.
Speaker 4: Like Nicky got on there and she she blew a
Speaker 4: load a bit too quickly. You just go on there
Speaker 4: and you say like, hey, guys. So sorry. I did
Speaker 4: tell them that I go to pay for the immediate family,
Speaker 4: but we don't have the budget to pay for your
Speaker 4: nephew's uncle's cousin's dog.
Speaker 3: No, she did. She ruined my life in the Kirk chat.
Speaker 5: But I was like, you put your tail between your legs,
Speaker 5: Nikki Hock, and you go into that group chat and
Speaker 5: you say it was a false alarmy, you jump the gun,
Speaker 5: and she did.
Speaker 3: She had to go and say that I'm not paying
Speaker 3: for everyone.
Speaker 2: It's so awkward.
Speaker 3: I'm so awkward now. But my mother in law, I reckon.
Speaker 4: She had the absolute doozy when it comes to family
Speaker 4: group chat. So my sister in law, she had just
Speaker 4: had her first baby, and they just had the baby.
Speaker 4: A photo got sent to Nana to say congratulations, you're
Speaker 4: a nana. And Nana looked at the photo and she
Speaker 4: saw a beautiful baby boy, and she said, you know
Speaker 4: who's gonna love this photo.
Speaker 3: The whole of the family. Everyone in my phone book.
Speaker 3: So she put that.
Speaker 4: Very first photo into the family group chat, the extended
Speaker 4: family group chat, and if you looked beyond the beautiful
Speaker 4: baby into the background, there it was the gaping hole
Speaker 4: that the beautiful baby came from Oh No, and it
Speaker 4: was all on display, bits all for center. The whole
Speaker 4: thing was there and the entire family got to see
Speaker 4: my poor dear sister in law's who hush my mom?
Speaker 1: The other day, this is what happened last week added
Speaker 1: my partner Stephen into the family group chat, but dug
Speaker 1: up an old family group chat that my ex was in,
Speaker 1: so she added she added Stephen to the group chat,
Speaker 1: and then we got the notification.
Speaker 2: Wood at him he left.
Speaker 3: I love so much.
Speaker 5: Please call us if you've had like a family chat
Speaker 5: gone wrong. I know there are more people out there.
Speaker 5: This is going to be like a staple in most
Speaker 5: people's family or.
Speaker 2: Have you been the one that has said the faux
Speaker 2: pas in the group chat?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I don't want this turning into like just piling on
Speaker 3: our parents. Parents do a really good job, guys.
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 3: They all deserve it.
Speaker 2: A wall, says the mum in the room. Or take
Speaker 2: your call's next on the pickup if.
Speaker 3: You were just joining us.
Speaker 5: I've just been telling Mitch and Laura about a little
Speaker 5: bit of a faux pas my mom did in my
Speaker 5: wedding planning. She accidentally told my entire extended family that
Speaker 5: I was going to pay for all their accommodation and
Speaker 5: my wedding.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a nice thing to do.
Speaker 5: Britt.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if that was true.
Speaker 1: You did say for the family, and she thought that
Speaker 1: was the whole family.
Speaker 5: I said immediate family, and I would have thought we
Speaker 5: all know what immediate family means. She put it straight
Speaker 5: in the group chat that I was paying for the cousins,
Speaker 5: the yarnies, the uncles.
Speaker 3: Anyway, it was, it was a whole thing.
Speaker 5: I immediately messaged my sister Sherry and put her into
Speaker 5: damage control because I was too embarrassed to go in
Speaker 5: the group chat and say, sorry, she got it wrong.
Speaker 5: I'm not paying for you. I messaged my sister and
Speaker 5: I said, can you go damage control this right now?
Speaker 5: So Sherry entered the chat and just like worked to
Speaker 5: magic smoothed everything over.
Speaker 3: Wow, but it's under I was like, Mum, where did
Speaker 3: you get this from. She's like, oh, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I guess I just was so excited. I was like, well,
Speaker 3: my bank account's not that excited. Well, she sees you
Speaker 3: living like what she thinks.
Speaker 4: She's like, Britney's successful, she can afford to pay and
Speaker 4: when you say he immediate family, she didn't think extended.
Speaker 4: She just thought you're biological family. She was like, Brittain,
Speaker 4: she'll pay for everyone.
Speaker 2: Any blood.
Speaker 1: I love that there's one cousin out there that hasn't
Speaker 1: seen you for ten Christmases. They're like, oh, BRIT's on
Speaker 1: the radio now she's paying for our weddings.
Speaker 3: Yeah not how so cute?
Speaker 2: Hey, we were taking your calls. When did you do this?
Speaker 1: Or when have you been on the receiving end of
Speaker 1: like a text faux part happens to everyone, back happened
Speaker 1: to you?
Speaker 2: Hi?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 9: I thought I was messaging my husband and I wasn't.
Speaker 9: We were at a hotel and he was on his
Speaker 9: phone and I was like, I'll just send him a
Speaker 9: suggestive test and.
Speaker 8: He looked up and he just looked sick like.
Speaker 9: I was like, what's what happened? And he's like, you
Speaker 9: just sent that in my family's group.
Speaker 5: With what did you say something about.
Speaker 3: What you want to do later? I'm assuming yes, it
Speaker 3: was a lot. We have a good beaver. I'm desperate
Speaker 3: to know what you said. Just say it.
Speaker 9: Oh sister is highly religious too, so it makes it
Speaker 9: even worse.

Speaker 8: gone onto a zoom call all the family and my
Speaker 8: parents their partners, just as a checking seeing how I'm
Speaker 8: going come off that obviously hard time of my life.
Speaker 8: And my mum thought she had gone into a WhatsApp
Speaker 8: chat with my just my dad and said how terrible
Speaker 8: does Anna look? When actually it was the whole family's
Speaker 8: group chat.
Speaker 3: What did you say?
Speaker 8: The funny thing is nobody said a word. It was
Speaker 8: just crickets, And even to this day I've had a
Speaker 8: laugh about it with my sister. Nobody talked about it.
Speaker 8: It was like, let's just ignore it and it will
Speaker 8: go away.

Speaker 10: My grandfather in law accidentally said a topless photo of
Speaker 10: a very busty woman to our extended family group chat.
Speaker 10: My grandfather in law. He meant to send it to
Speaker 10: his friend. Oh just like I'm assuming, like a porn
Speaker 10: star or something. I'm not so.
Speaker 5: Your granddad is out there just sending nudes around to
Speaker 5: his other grampiece.
Speaker 10: Yeah. Yeah, it was a bit awkward. My uncle actually
Speaker 10: left the family chat after that.

Speaker 5: groove chats. I thought they're talking about who's going to
Speaker 5: Bingo on Saturday.
Speaker 3: Good on, they're still gonna live.
Speaker 2: A bit, I say, good on it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, And we'll put that photo on the
Speaker 1: pickup socials if anyone's.

Speaker 4: which you know, for a lot of people you might
Speaker 4: love him.
Speaker 2: Laura. Look, we surprised Laura. She didn't realize James in
Speaker 2: the studio. The moment she realizes that he's standing.
Speaker 3: By her class creamed my pants. Guys. I'm so excited.
Speaker 3: Music does something to me.
Speaker 2: It does.
