Speaker 1: Are you ready?
Speaker 2: Good pickup with Britt Hockley and Laura Ben?
Speaker 3: Ready your worth? Our windows done?
Speaker 4: My world risen the dust only good Babs all down.
Speaker 3: I don't march, but you I'm not. I'll beget and
Speaker 3: what I want. It don't matter where.
Speaker 4: This is the pickup, Hi, guys, it's the pickup with
Speaker 4: Britt Hackley and Laura Ben.
Speaker 5: And there's been some terrible breakup news that's been sweeping
Speaker 5: the comic.
Speaker 3: You're devastated, Britt, so sad. You were very excited about this.
Speaker 4: I got sucked down a stupid rabbit hole on the internet,
Speaker 4: like deep deep into this rabbit hole. There is a
Speaker 4: couple who have set the Guinness World Record for the
Speaker 4: longest kiss. Imagine kissing someone continuously for fifty eight hours
Speaker 4: and thirty five minutes and fifty eight seconds.
Speaker 2: What are the rules? Can you, like not have any
Speaker 2: breaking skin to skin?
Speaker 4: To be fair, I don't know the exact rules, but
Speaker 4: I'm going to say it's got to be a continuous kiss.
Speaker 3: Imagine that's been recorded. They've been together.
Speaker 4: Since twin thirteen, that's when they set the record, and
Speaker 4: they just broke up. Devastating. No, because they're still kissing. No,
Speaker 4: they probably never want to kiss again. That's probably what
Speaker 4: it really was.
Speaker 2: How would you physically?
Speaker 5: I could think of nothing worse than being attached by
Speaker 5: the lips for what's nearly sixty hours?
Speaker 4: Wait, they set the record twice. First off, they set
Speaker 4: it in twenty eleven with a forty six hour kiss.
Speaker 4: Then they broke their own record. Why go for it twice?
Speaker 3: I had a hobby. I think that was their hobby.
Speaker 3: That's the point.
Speaker 2: Do you have to practice for that? Like?
Speaker 5: How many times do they do that privately before they
Speaker 5: did it publicly?
Speaker 3: We should all take.
Speaker 4: A collective moment because they look quite devastated.
Speaker 3: They've broken up. Rip Is love even real anymore?
Speaker 2: That doesn't seem like it.
Speaker 5: Not?
Speaker 4: Well, not if married at First Site has anything to
Speaker 4: say for it, that's for sure.
Speaker 5: Well, we're actually not talking about married at First Site today, Laura.
Speaker 5: For the first time, I've taken a break. I've said
Speaker 5: no married at First Site today. But we do have
Speaker 5: a really great show coming up. There is a man
Speaker 5: that has operated on himself and you are not going
Speaker 5: to believe what he has done.
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you all about it after the
Speaker 2: break Grit.
Speaker 4: There is a news article that is going viral at
Speaker 4: the moment. Well, actually it's a it's a surgeon who's
Speaker 4: created content put it out on Instagram. It's currently had
Speaker 4: four million views and it is accruing more rapidly. The
Speaker 4: reason for this is because he has taken diy or
Speaker 4: doing surgery on himself to all new heights.
Speaker 5: I don't think you can take doing surgery on yourself
Speaker 5: to all new heights. I think that is the height
Speaker 5: people don't do surgery.
Speaker 4: I mean, for example, you could do a minor surgery,
Speaker 4: like you could close your own elb up if you
Speaker 4: had stretched elobes.
Speaker 3: Think of what else you could think.
Speaker 4: There's a difference between stitching a cut rather than giving
Speaker 4: yourself open heart surgery.
Speaker 2: Right like the or built the same he did stitch
Speaker 2: a cut of sorts to me.
Speaker 4: So this man, he is a doctor, he's a surgeon.
Speaker 4: He's from Taiwan, and he streamed this online. Basically, he
Speaker 4: had three children and as a gift to his wife,
Speaker 4: he decided it was time for him to have a vasectomy.
Speaker 4: But not only did he go and get a vasectomy,
Speaker 4: he gave himself a vseectomy on camera.
Speaker 2: Normally actually insane.
Speaker 4: Normally a aseectomy takes like around half an hour to
Speaker 4: forty minutes.
Speaker 3: He came out and said.
Speaker 4: It took him twice as long because it was a
Speaker 4: little bit more complicated having to do.
Speaker 3: It to himself.
Speaker 4: He said, like, there was only one point in the
Speaker 4: operation where it seemed as though he was.
Speaker 3: Visibly in pain.
Speaker 4: He had to like put the tools down, He laid back,
Speaker 4: had a moment afore like processing what he was doing,
Speaker 4: and then he just got straight back to work down there,
Speaker 4: snip and cutting, tying up stuff.
Speaker 5: That is next level, isn't it. He did say he
Speaker 5: could feel it even though he had a local. He's like,
Speaker 5: it still feels weird to be able to feel in
Speaker 5: your penis what you're sewing up. I actually don't understand
Speaker 5: the purpose of it. Just get put under You've got
Speaker 5: a doctor.
Speaker 3: Friends, you know what.
Speaker 4: He did say this one thing which I agree with,
Speaker 4: but it was particularly funny.
Speaker 3: He said, I am really brave, and yes you are,
Speaker 3: Yes you are.
Speaker 4: But also if your wife has to give birth to
Speaker 4: three children, this should become the normal men should be
Speaker 4: giving themselves vseectomy.
Speaker 3: We've got to all have childbirth and kind of go
Speaker 3: through that.
Speaker 2: I didn't do this to myself.
Speaker 3: Don't try I don't mean that. Don't try that at home.
Speaker 5: Everyone, No one listening to you is gonna go and
Speaker 5: try and dissect me at home or no, in.
Speaker 4: Case I could get myself in trouble with compliance on
Speaker 4: radio or something. If somebody turns around and says Laura
Speaker 4: Burns said, and then they do it, I'm gonna lose
Speaker 4: my job.
Speaker 2: Well, then we're gonna lose that job over a lot
Speaker 2: of stuff.
Speaker 5: I remember, I didn't do it to myself, but my
Speaker 5: boyfriend at the time did.
Speaker 3: I just got him.
Speaker 5: He was a doctor, and I got him to bring
Speaker 5: some equipment home and I sewed up my ear holes
Speaker 5: on my bed like we just laid down at home
Speaker 5: and he sewed my ears up. It like a little
Speaker 5: operate We set up a little operating table in my
Speaker 5: room and he just sowed them all. That's like as
Speaker 5: close as I do it yourself operation at.
Speaker 2: Home that I've ever done.
Speaker 4: I wonder, like how much this kind of like breaches heaps,
Speaker 4: Like yeah, like breaches like legislation stuff around like codes
Speaker 4: of being a doctor.
Speaker 5: They did it was in another country, so no one
Speaker 5: in Australia come for me, and that was a lie.
Speaker 2: I made the whole story out.
Speaker 4: Well, this did happen in Taiwan, so maybe they have
Speaker 4: different rules than what is in Australia. But apparently they
Speaker 4: did an investigation and he didn't actually break any rules
Speaker 4: by creating this content. Had a urologists on hand in
Speaker 4: case anything went wrong, so he had someone in the.
Speaker 3: Room to take that. I mean, if you've got someone
Speaker 3: in the room, just let him do it in the
Speaker 3: first place. Lay back. You don't need to be working
Speaker 3: this hard.
Speaker 5: Even now, he's probably the first person to have vseected
Speaker 5: me in himself.
Speaker 2: Like, there's probably a Guinness World record in that or something.
Speaker 3: I don't know if there is.
Speaker 4: I think like, if we have another kid, Matt will
Speaker 4: then get a vasectomy. I'm pretty like Matt, no, I'm
Speaker 4: going to give him one. We're going to diy in
Speaker 4: our house as well. No, I think he would. I
Speaker 4: think he would be keen to. I actually don't. I
Speaker 4: think that if we had a third child, the fear
Speaker 4: of a fourth child would probably propel him to want
Speaker 4: to do so. His podcast partner, like my husband does
Speaker 4: a podcast Two Doting Dads with a guy named Ash Wigs.
Speaker 4: He went and got a vasectomy like the day after
Speaker 4: he'd had his second child, because he was like, oh,
Speaker 4: we're done now.
Speaker 5: Well that's pretty excessive, is it. Yeah, because the day after,
Speaker 5: like your feelings aren't well.
Speaker 3: I normally know if it was the day after. It's
Speaker 3: very short.
Speaker 5: Laura Burn's spinning those lines on radio. There is a
Speaker 5: mum being absolutely slammed online. She's causing quite the debate
Speaker 5: about if it's okay to have a four day school
Speaker 5: week for your child.
Speaker 3: Now, let's set the facts.
Speaker 5: Her child's five years old and she's only just started school,
Speaker 5: so it's like a kindy it's like that new transition.
Speaker 5: Have listened to what she said that has sparked so
Speaker 5: much anger For the first four weeks.
Speaker 6: They have one day off on a Wednesdays, and I
Speaker 6: kind of want to keep that a thing because I
Speaker 6: love not rushing anywhere. I love the extra time I
Speaker 6: get to spend with my daughter. I love the time
Speaker 6: she gets to spend with her siblings. Like the rush
Speaker 6: every single day and her being gone for so long
Speaker 6: every single day at school, five days a week for
Speaker 6: the rest of her life, it just feels unnatural.
Speaker 4: This mom's called it a wag day, so she wants
Speaker 4: her kid, her kindergartener to take well she I mean,
Speaker 4: she hasn't said that she absolutely wants to be back,
Speaker 4: but she was kind of a hypothesis, wouldn't it be
Speaker 4: nice if you could just send your kids to school
Speaker 4: four days a week.
Speaker 5: I want to come to this mum's defense. I'm not
Speaker 5: a mum, but the fact that this has caused so
Speaker 5: much outrage and anger that like news dot com is
Speaker 5: writing articles about it. She's literally just given a throwaway
Speaker 5: comment being like, oh, it's been so nice to have
Speaker 5: a home for a day with her siblings spend more
Speaker 5: time with her.
Speaker 2: I would love it if that could continue, and the
Speaker 2: Internet has like jumped down her throat.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean, there's nothing that we love more than getting
Speaker 4: angry about a mum who's not parenting the.
Speaker 3: Way that we expect it to be parenting. But I
Speaker 3: think it's an interesting one.
Speaker 4: Because we're all for the four day work week, Why
Speaker 4: are we so against a four day school week?
Speaker 3: Well, I to learn, I'm against it. I need my
Speaker 3: kids in school.
Speaker 4: I like a five days school week, don't get me wrong,
Speaker 4: But I think it also comes into this idea that
Speaker 4: like school and having a break because like, for example,
Speaker 4: like my little one Lola, she goes to daycare only
Speaker 4: three days a week, and it's really really hard for
Speaker 4: her to get into the momentum of when it's a
Speaker 4: daycare day and when it's a day at home, because
Speaker 4: the four day break in between means it makes it
Speaker 4: difficult for her and her friends. It makes her difficult
Speaker 4: to pick up from where she left off and she
Speaker 4: loses that continuity. Whereas like my oldest Maley May, who
Speaker 4: has also just started kindergarten, she is thriving, and it's
Speaker 4: because they think she has this repetition to show up
Speaker 4: to and she's got this really like planned system of
Speaker 4: what's happening every day, and she knows what she's got
Speaker 4: to do, and she gets in there and.
Speaker 3: Gets it done.
Speaker 5: I think, to be fair, most parents love the fact
Speaker 5: that five days a week their kids are at school
Speaker 5: and they can get about their own life. But I
Speaker 5: also understand that there are people that think, hey, two
Speaker 5: days a week is not enough for me to spend
Speaker 5: with my kid. But you can't just I understand that,
Speaker 5: but you can't just have them to hang out like
Speaker 5: you still.
Speaker 2: Need to homeschool them or teach them in some way.
Speaker 5: You can't just be like I want you all to
Speaker 5: myself and delay their learning. And I understand that learning
Speaker 5: comes in so many different ways.
Speaker 3: Like I have some friends that live.
Speaker 5: Up north, like near Barron Bay and Queenslandy area, And
Speaker 5: I say that because I think it'll check out their homeschool.
Speaker 5: They don't homeschool, but they go to I forget what
Speaker 5: it's called stories, one of those schools that like they
Speaker 5: have classes as all outdoors in the forests and stuff,
Speaker 5: like they learn to count when they're young by like
Speaker 5: finding twigs and branches and discovering things. So they're still learning,
Speaker 5: but in a different way. They're not in the classroom.
Speaker 5: They don't have a pen and paper, and it's just
Speaker 5: a bit more of a creativity school. Like that stuff
Speaker 5: I think is all well and good as long as
Speaker 5: you need to do it, Like there comes a point
Speaker 5: where you need a calculator and you need Pythagoros theorem
Speaker 5: and you need to know taxes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, like a kindergarten doesn't need to no taxes.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm bought thirty seven. I sn't know how
Speaker 4: to do my taxes very well. I mean, I think
Speaker 4: it's pretty harsh for her to be slammed for having
Speaker 4: these thoughts. The reason for that is is because as
Speaker 4: a new mom, she's got three kids, two of them
Speaker 4: are at home. This is her first year of having
Speaker 4: a kid go to school. It's a big transition for
Speaker 4: a mom as well, like having your kids go from
Speaker 4: spending lots of time with them, having your days worked
Speaker 4: out in a certain way, having your time kind of
Speaker 4: split up amongst your kids, and then transitioning to having
Speaker 4: a new child in school and navigating the school system
Speaker 4: and five days a week and a new routine, and
Speaker 4: like you know, the drop offs and the multiple pickups.
Speaker 3: It's really hard.
Speaker 4: And so I can understand why she's saying maybe that
Speaker 4: this isn't the best solution. It's not like she's saying, Okay,
Speaker 4: she's going to keep a kid on from school and
Speaker 4: then neglect it and be a terrible mum.
Speaker 2: Also, just relax. The Internet needs to relax. I truly
Speaker 2: believe that.
Speaker 5: I think sometimes we'll get too angry about too many things.
Speaker 4: You heard it here first, everyone just relaxed. From Brittany
Speaker 4: Hockley britt last week on our podcast Life on cart
Speaker 4: we answered a really important question that we were very
Speaker 4: aligned on, and that question was from a listener who
Speaker 4: asked whether or not she could tell her husband that
Speaker 4: he was going bald. She wanted to ask him whether
Speaker 4: he could go and get take balding medication because she
Speaker 4: was not loving the fact that he was thinning.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we did say that at the end of
Speaker 2: the day.
Speaker 5: No, you can't go and point out your partner's insecurities
Speaker 5: and ask them to change it.
Speaker 4: Yes, that's exactly what we unanimously landed on. But I
Speaker 4: have another question for you, and this one is a
Speaker 4: little bit more close to home. Do you think it
Speaker 4: is okay to tell your partner how you want their
Speaker 4: facial hair to be if they have decided to change
Speaker 4: it dramatically? I need more context, Okay, So imagine that
Speaker 4: you're used to your partner having a relatively can.
Speaker 5: We just call a space babe, we're talking about your husband, Matt.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're talking about Matt. We're talking it. So this
Speaker 4: is very When I say close to home, I'm talking
Speaker 4: about inside my home. So my husband, Matt, he was
Speaker 4: recently on I'm a Celebrity to get me out of Here.
Speaker 4: On the show, he refused to shave his face. He
Speaker 4: grew quite the beard. Matt is not normally a facial
Speaker 4: hair hairy person. Like I lack a bit of stubble.
Speaker 4: I think it's manly and sexy. It's gone beyond stubble.
Speaker 3: It's a beard.
Speaker 4: It kind of still smells like the jungle. And I
Speaker 4: have asked him a few ways nicely if he would
Speaker 4: please shave it, because it's just it goes up my
Speaker 4: nose and I find it really hard to kiss. And
Speaker 4: I'm struggling with navigating around the facial hair and I've
Speaker 4: come up against a little.
Speaker 3: Bit of resistance.
Speaker 4: But maybe it's because I shouldn't be asking.
Speaker 2: No, Okay, here we go suggest something.
Speaker 5: You can say, Hey, I love you so much better,
Speaker 5: and it's more sexier when it's like shortaved or like
Speaker 5: my nose. But you can't hold the man down with
Speaker 5: a razor and try and shave his beard if he
Speaker 5: doesn't want to.
Speaker 3: He can't.
Speaker 5: But I do think maybe if you let him down
Speaker 5: the garden path and said, maybe it turns you on
Speaker 5: more when.
Speaker 3: He's clean shaved, you like dangle that carroag I've done
Speaker 3: at all.
Speaker 4: I was like, I was like, I will feel more
Speaker 4: excited about taking you down to Poundtown if you shave
Speaker 4: your face, and he goes, yeah, yeah, I'll do it tomorrow.
Speaker 4: It's been weeks, he's been home for weeks. It's getting
Speaker 4: longer by the day, and he will not shave it,
Speaker 4: and it kind of smells like jungle fire.
Speaker 2: All right, let's give the man a second to defend himself.
Speaker 2: I actually have mad on the phone.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, honey, I love you and I find you
Speaker 4: so sexy, but the beid's got to go.
Speaker 3: That's not what you said a minute ago.
Speaker 1: This is absolute defamation. I I wash and condition this
Speaker 1: bed every other night and claim to your good listeners
Speaker 1: that it smells absolute don Also another thing. The one
Speaker 1: person who is your hall pass is Jason Momoa, who
Speaker 1: happens to be a very hairy man. Really mixed signals
Speaker 1: from me. On the one hand, you want someone very hairy,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, there's a hairy man in front
Speaker 1: of you. You don't want him anymore? Which one is it?
Speaker 4: Laura's Jason Momoa is my hall pass, and he is
Speaker 4: a particularly hairy man. But I think I think if
Speaker 4: I was to ever climb that man, I would discover
Speaker 4: that also his facial hair goes up my nose, and
Speaker 4: I don't like it's a sensory thing.
Speaker 5: I actually think if Jason Momoa shaved his beer, he
Speaker 5: wouldn't be your Yeah, he wouldn't be a hall pass anymore.
Speaker 5: But what I will say is, Matt, you do you.
Speaker 5: I'm all for whatever you want to do, whatever makes
Speaker 5: you happy. But what I am going to say is
Speaker 5: been in Laura's defense. When I came out of the
Speaker 5: jungle last year, I showered, shaved, moisturized, washed, condition I
Speaker 5: did everything, and I thought that I was like cool
Speaker 5: the jungles left behind.
Speaker 2: So many people told me how much I still stunk.
Speaker 5: People like, the stench is still in your hair even
Speaker 5: though you've washed it, but I couldn't smell it because.
Speaker 2: I was accustomed to.
Speaker 3: You'd become one with the jungle.
Speaker 5: So maybe maybe I know you're conditioning the beard, but
Speaker 5: maybe it's in there, and that's stench's in there and
Speaker 5: you don't know it.
Speaker 1: Don't drag me into your your condition, Brittany, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know how you shall, but if don't, you
Speaker 1: dare compare me to yourself. Also, Laura, is it part
Speaker 1: of your body readion that you sometimes neglect in terms
Speaker 1: of shaving. I won't go into too much detail, but
Speaker 1: all I'm saying it's a little bit rich. Once you
Speaker 1: start shaving, I will as well.
Speaker 4: All right, let's make a deal. If that's all it's
Speaker 4: going to take a deal, I'll do it tonight. Can
Speaker 4: you please shave your face as well. I'll report back
Speaker 4: on it tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Everyone, Can someone send us some raisors. We need a lot.
Speaker 1: There's a lot to get through.
Speaker 2: You guys gonna slide right off each other.
Speaker 3: Send the hacks or everybody. Al Right, that's it from us, guys,
