Speaker 1: Are you ready?
Speaker 2: Good pickup with Britt Hockley and Laura Burn? Ready your
Speaker 2: worth our windows?
Speaker 3: D that's my world reason the dust only good, babs
Speaker 3: as all down.
Speaker 2: I don't much, but yeah I'm not. I'll big get
Speaker 2: and what I want. It don't matter where.
Speaker 4: Does this is the pickup?
Speaker 1: Hi? Guys, it's the pickup with Britt Hagley and Laura Burn?
Speaker 2: And do you know what day it is? Brittany?
Speaker 3: Only because of you, otherwise I would have no idea.
Speaker 1: It is the first day of school holidays in New
Speaker 1: South Wales?
Speaker 4: Is this exciting or is this like?
Speaker 3: Because sometimes I see a lot of different memes going
Speaker 3: around online, whereas some people are ecstatic and some people
Speaker 3: I just hate their life for the next two weeks.
Speaker 2: No, I don't, I know. I love it.
Speaker 1: I love that the girls are on holidays, the Christmas holidays, however,
Speaker 1: which are really long.
Speaker 2: By the end of it, I'm.
Speaker 1: Like, oh, school needs to start soon, but Easter holidays great.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to do Easter hunts and for the
Speaker 1: Easter Bunny to come.
Speaker 2: I'm starve.
Speaker 4: Do you think you're still going to say that in
Speaker 4: two weeks time?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Checking with me in two weeks.
Speaker 1: So right now, I'm pretty excited about it, honestly, like
Speaker 1: it's day one. They're so excited, they're on best behavior.
Speaker 1: There's ample activities to do. In ten days, I might
Speaker 1: feel different.
Speaker 4: I strongly, strongly can't wait to come.
Speaker 2: Back and see how you feel.
Speaker 5: It.
Speaker 1: On the weekend, something happened to my husband, Matt, which
Speaker 1: resulted in many people that we were with telling me
Speaker 1: that I should pee on my husband, which.
Speaker 2: Let me get stung by bluebottle. Yeah, is that it?
Speaker 2: That's it? Yes, how did you know?
Speaker 4: Well, because that's the number one treatment for a blue
Speaker 4: battle sing.
Speaker 1: Is we peeing on someone cannot be the number one treatment? Okay,
Speaker 1: So we were at the beach. We'd been there all
Speaker 1: morning and had no idea was assuming with the girls
Speaker 1: having great time, and then something must have changed in
Speaker 1: the current and there was an entire swarm that got
Speaker 1: washed in. There was like hundreds of them, hundreds, And
Speaker 1: at that moment Matt had gone for a sum but
Speaker 1: he was really far out and he'd gotten stuff get
Speaker 1: him into.
Speaker 2: He was at his little goggles on. He was swimming around.
Speaker 1: The rocks, but he honestly, he was so far on
Speaker 1: one side that it was not possible for him to
Speaker 1: come back in without getting stuck because there was just
Speaker 1: so many of them.
Speaker 2: And he came in and I could see.
Speaker 1: That he'd been getting absolutely blasted by them on the way,
Speaker 1: and he got one wrapped around his neck, he had
Speaker 1: one over his shoulder, he had one down his back.
Speaker 1: Like they got him good. Oh, really good, Like that's
Speaker 1: like a horror movie. I walked in and he was
Speaker 1: like feeling very sorry for himself and shaking a little bit.
Speaker 1: And we were there with some friends and one of
Speaker 1: my friends turned around and she was like, Laurie, you need.
Speaker 2: To pee on him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I had never heard this before.
Speaker 2: How have you never heard?
Speaker 3: Like growing up in Australia, the one thing you know
Speaker 3: growing up that you're taught is like you're taught how
Speaker 3: to swim, you taught how to ride a bike, and
Speaker 3: you taught when you get stung by a boo bottle.
Speaker 2: That you're wie on it.
Speaker 1: It was even so weird to me that, like even
Speaker 1: she was like, I mean, I'll wee on it if
Speaker 1: you need.
Speaker 2: Me to, like everyone's offering to it.
Speaker 1: And I was like, hold on, surely he could just
Speaker 1: wei in a bottle and we on himself if he
Speaker 1: needs to, Like, why does it have to be my week? Firstly, anyway,
Speaker 1: I was horrified.
Speaker 2: I'd never heard of this.
Speaker 1: I got home and I was talking to my mother
Speaker 1: in law who lives with us, and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: Matt got stung by a blue bottle. First thing she says,
Speaker 1: did you wei on him? I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: this is not normal everyone. She's like, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: when Kate was young, I once weed in a bottle
Speaker 1: and I had to pour it on it. And I
Speaker 1: was like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry we did.
Speaker 2: We need to back this up.
Speaker 1: So yeah, she apparently, you know, twenty five years ago
Speaker 1: it was thought of that this was like.
Speaker 2: The one thing that you did.
Speaker 1: I think it went from we to vinegar and water
Speaker 1: like that became a popular way of treating blue bottles.
Speaker 3: I think because it's acidic. I think the legend goes
Speaker 3: that it was like something to do with that. So
Speaker 3: I thought it wasn't a ciittic.
Speaker 1: I thought it had to do with the warmth, like
Speaker 1: the warm water neutralizers.
Speaker 3: It's not the warmth, because otherwise she just put a hot,
Speaker 3: warm bottle on it, not we.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's good anything to do with.
Speaker 1: He Well, it turns out that if anyone out there
Speaker 1: is still wing on blue bottlestings, it's absolutely a wives tale.
Speaker 2: Please stop. I've done my research. Now it's a myth.
Speaker 2: It's a myth.
Speaker 1: The best thing for blue bottles is like just normal
Speaker 1: fresh water. You should not be weaning on each other.
Speaker 1: Don't we on your husband. Then you're into that unless
Speaker 1: that's your king, Like, it's not going to help a
Speaker 1: blue bottlestick.
Speaker 3: So funny because whilst growing up I know that that
Speaker 3: was like what people say you do right, I didn't
Speaker 3: actually ever know anyone to do it.
Speaker 2: But now I know your mother in law weed.
Speaker 4: Into a bottle and tip that on her kid.
Speaker 2: That's pretty cooked when you say it out loud.
Speaker 1: It did make me think, though there are so many
Speaker 1: bad wives tales that we've been told are good solutions
Speaker 1: for things that go wrong. Another one like if you've
Speaker 1: got a stye, they say to rub a gold ring
Speaker 1: on it, which I would just like to say, if
Speaker 1: you're still rubbing a gold ring on a stye, very unhygienic,
Speaker 1: not a good idea. Lots of bacteria, nothing like rubbing
Speaker 1: bacteria into bacteria to really inflame that.
Speaker 2: Sty you've got.
Speaker 4: You know what I do think you can do. I
Speaker 4: think it's real.
Speaker 2: Is the tea bag?
Speaker 4: You know, when you put a green tea bag on
Speaker 4: your eye?
Speaker 2: What kind of tea bag? Nor the green tea bag
Speaker 2: is sick. Oh, you're going back to the urine fetish.
Speaker 3: So when I think about what I was doing growing up,
Speaker 3: you know what I did. I used to really want
Speaker 3: to get rid of my freckles. When I was a kid,
Speaker 3: Like I was covered in freckles.
Speaker 1: You have no freckles now, yeah, laser them off, right.
Speaker 1: So it wasn't the treatment that you use.
Speaker 2: It's just when I was like a.
Speaker 3: Young kid, I was in the sun. You obviously you
Speaker 3: don't wear makeup as a kid, you don't cover them.
Speaker 3: I've still got little freckles. I just cover them. But
Speaker 3: I read that you could massage lemon juice. So I
Speaker 3: used to like cut lemons and like scrub them into
Speaker 3: my skin because I've read that that got rid of freckles.
Speaker 3: Absolutely can confirm it does not get rid of freckles.
Speaker 3: And it's also not very good for your skin. It's
Speaker 3: so bad for your skin.
Speaker 1: It's also like the same thing that we would do
Speaker 1: when we put in our hair, but like I mean,
Speaker 1: it worked. It did bleach your hair, but it also
Speaker 1: destroyed it in the making. Other things are like putting
Speaker 1: potato slices on your head to treat migraines.
Speaker 2: That's meant to be like an old wive's tail cure.
Speaker 1: I've never heard that sleeping with onions in your socks
Speaker 1: is supposed to cure a cold. Also not confirmed, but
Speaker 1: I think that's true. I don't think it is, yep.
Speaker 1: I think producer Grace is like it's not.
Speaker 3: No, it is, and there is a reason, and I
Speaker 3: can't remember what it is. But it's like a Chinese
Speaker 3: medicine thing. I think, well, maybe you'll believe this one
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 1: But it putting chicken in your on your head to
Speaker 1: treat baldness, I'm.
Speaker 2: Definitely not doing that.
Speaker 4: You could try that.
Speaker 1: You've got the little patch of the bat for fertilizer
Speaker 1: like apparently people used to think it fertilized your head,
Speaker 1: and stepping in warm cow dung to treat athletes foot terrible.
Speaker 2: Who made that up? I don't know.
Speaker 1: And it kills germs and bacteria and heals wounds and
Speaker 1: dry cow dung is a great scrub to get rid
Speaker 1: of dead skin and improve blood circulation.
Speaker 2: So that information there produced great.
Speaker 3: The only one I'm sticking by for that, I think
Speaker 3: the onion. I think there's something in that.
Speaker 2: Do you want to know the explanation?
Speaker 3: So the theory is that onions absorb bacteria and viruses,
Speaker 3: but there's no scientific proof that it actually works.
Speaker 4: Could you also google what a group of blue bottles
Speaker 4: is called?
Speaker 2: Is it are swarm? Is it? Ah?
Speaker 1: So you do learn stuff here at the pick up
Speaker 1: Matt got stung by a marta, by a whole school
Speaker 1: of Mama mamata.
Speaker 2: I've always had commitment and shoes laws. You know that.
Speaker 2: But I have committed now to my field. Say but
Speaker 2: the well done.
Speaker 3: The one thing I've never had trouble committing to is
Speaker 3: a restaurant. Like you know, when you just find your
Speaker 3: groove with a cafe or a restaurant.
Speaker 2: You know the vibe there.
Speaker 4: You know, you know what's on the menu, you ordered
Speaker 4: the same thing.
Speaker 3: I developed an unhealthy relationship with this cafe, right, which
Speaker 3: is my go to. I go there probably four times
Speaker 3: a week. When I go there, I get the same
Speaker 3: thing four times a week.
Speaker 1: When you know something's good, you become a creature of habit.
Speaker 4: I just think about it.
Speaker 2: All the time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a chicken sitz l sandwich.
Speaker 3: So it's nothing that's like mind blowing, but it in
Speaker 3: itself is mind blowing, like it's a top notch chicken snitty.
Speaker 2: So I went there.
Speaker 3: I went there last week and ordered it and they said,
Speaker 3: enjoy this. It's the last one, nah, And I said
Speaker 3: what And they're like, this is the last one.
Speaker 2: And I was like, why why would you do that?
Speaker 3: They said, oh, it's been moved out for something else,
Speaker 3: a different type of sandwich.
Speaker 1: Because no matter how much you ordered it, brit you
Speaker 1: seem to be the only one.
Speaker 3: No, they just like to mix it up, so they
Speaker 3: swapped it out with a steak singer. Great, but it
Speaker 3: doesn't have anything on a chicken snitty in my eyes.
Speaker 2: So I was really upset.
Speaker 3: Enjoyed every bite and then I went home and I
Speaker 3: just thought, this isn't sitting with me.
Speaker 2: So I contacted the restaurant. Brittany, she's a celebrity. I
Speaker 2: have needs once and they're not being met. I contacted them.
Speaker 2: I just wrote a letter.
Speaker 3: Well in their dms, in their instadiums, I didn't send
Speaker 3: it with a carrier pigeon down to the restaurant.
Speaker 2: What did you say? I just told them my honest feelings.
Speaker 2: I was quite vulnerable with them, and I just said, look,
Speaker 2: this is.
Speaker 6: A really cool part of my life and I think
Speaker 6: you should reconsider this. The classic chicken schnitzel soundwich is
Speaker 6: a staple here in Australian culture. I think it's a
Speaker 6: mistake that.
Speaker 2: You're taking it off. I have a question for you.
Speaker 1: Did you message them from your account that has a
Speaker 1: blue tick?
Speaker 2: Is that was it? Did you wield your blue tick
Speaker 2: around it wasn't from my burner account on.
Speaker 1: This poor unsuspecting restaurant.
Speaker 4: Well, I didn't do that intentionally, but it's my only INSTAGRAMM.
Speaker 3: So yes, yes, I did they know who I am?
Speaker 3: I go there three days a week.
Speaker 2: I am this.
Speaker 4: I frequent this restaurant.
Speaker 1: There is nothing more devastating. Actually there's a lie. There's
Speaker 1: plenty more things, but let's just go with me so dramatic.
Speaker 1: It's pretty sad when you go to your favorite restaurant
Speaker 1: and you have your favorite meal that you get there
Speaker 1: all the time, and you rock up one day and
Speaker 1: the menu's changed and it's no longer available. This happened
Speaker 1: to me recently. We go to the pub every Wednesday night,
Speaker 1: and every Wednesday night because I'm a creature of habit
Speaker 1: and I do the same thing on repeat. I get
Speaker 1: the prawn chili pasta last weekend. That's a lie as well.
Speaker 1: It was a few weeks ago. I got there and
Speaker 1: the prawn chili pastor had been taken off the menu.
Speaker 2: And guess what, I've never been back since. Isn't it devastating?
Speaker 1: I can't go, but I'm not gonna send them a
Speaker 1: message from Lady and a cat and be like put
Speaker 1: the bron bastera back on now.
Speaker 2: I just wanted to give them my feedback. I think
Speaker 2: it's important. I didn't. It wasn't a roote email.
Speaker 3: I just said, I want you to know it's a
Speaker 3: very love sandwich in the community.
Speaker 2: I just want you to think. I want you to
Speaker 2: think this through. Their response, did you threaten them with anything?
Speaker 1: We'll be like, I'll never come back, Brittany Hockley, will
Speaker 1: never come back unless you put the sanger back on.
Speaker 2: No, I didn't, but they responded really nicely. I'll at
Speaker 2: you on.
Speaker 3: Their response was the response was we hear you, we
Speaker 3: feel you. It was just time for change. But can
Speaker 3: we say the steak sandwich is amazing. We recommend you
Speaker 3: try it. Anyway, I thought, you know what, I love
Speaker 3: them and I'm loyal, but I'm gonna have to have
Speaker 3: a break from them.
Speaker 2: But I figured out the fix. So I went back.
Speaker 3: Yesterday and I ordered the steak sandwich and then I said,
Speaker 3: can I swap.
Speaker 2: The steak for chicken snisle? Oh my god, they did it.
Speaker 1: Now, you guys, if you're listening to the show, I mean,
Speaker 1: cast your minds back, because it was a while ago
Speaker 1: we were having a big conversation around kids at weddings
Speaker 1: and people who have like designated kid free weddings.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, or like should you be allowed to have kids?
Speaker 3: Because I was trying to work out if I should
Speaker 3: have kids at my wedding.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I guess like unless the bride and
Speaker 1: grooms say, like they're not invited that you can't bring
Speaker 1: kids to the wedding, then I think it's kind of
Speaker 1: expected that sometimes kids come.
Speaker 4: Well, Laura, I still think you have to ask.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 1: I agree, And also I understand why some couples have
Speaker 1: no interest in having children at their wedding.
Speaker 2: I get it. Now.
Speaker 1: There is a woman who has gone completely viral online
Speaker 1: because of a reaction that she's had to a child
Speaker 1: that showed up at her wedding. So they had specified
Speaker 1: it is a kid free wedding, don't bring.
Speaker 2: Them, yeah, bold yeah, boldly it is.
Speaker 1: It was like, you know, its just really highlighted at
Speaker 1: the bottom of the invitation. Now she's standing up there,
Speaker 1: her name is Claire Kendall Tates.
Speaker 2: She's standing up there at.
Speaker 1: The front doing her vows with her husband, and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden she hears this.
Speaker 2: But I'm the only one that knows them.
Speaker 1: And one of the questions I asked was when did
Speaker 1: you know you were in love and wanted to spend
Speaker 1: the rest of your life together as husband and wife.
Speaker 2: So I got I think that wasn't even a crime. Baby.
Speaker 3: I think it was saying no, no, yeah, that's.
Speaker 2: Not a newborn. That's that's like a one and a
Speaker 2: half year old or something like.
Speaker 1: That's a So what has happened is one of her guests,
Speaker 1: so a friend or a relative has driven ten hours
Speaker 1: to come and be a part of this wedding. Like
Speaker 1: when I say be a part of it, I don't
Speaker 1: mean standing out the front. I mean to witness the ceremony.
Speaker 1: In the vows, they have refused to take the kid
Speaker 1: out of the ceremony when it started crying because they
Speaker 1: felt so entitled to be there, because they're driven so
Speaker 1: far to get there.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, I would be so dirsy if I'm
Speaker 5: listening back to my vowels and all I can hear
Speaker 5: is some screeching child that does not belong to me,
Speaker 5: not even in my bloodline, not even my lineage.
Speaker 4: Like a screaming baby.
Speaker 2: Even it was my own child, I kick it out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, my child wouldn't even be in there screaming.
Speaker 2: That's so rude, No, it really is.
Speaker 1: And now I think most people would listen to that
Speaker 1: and have a real issue with their wedding vows being
Speaker 1: ruined by a screaming baby.
Speaker 2: And normally I would say.
Speaker 1: On this show, I'm the one that would stand up
Speaker 1: for the little kids.
Speaker 2: I'm like someone, think of the children.
Speaker 1: But even I listened to that and thought that's absolutely outrageous.
Speaker 1: But what I do think is more outrageous is calling
Speaker 1: out a family member or calling out someone who's come
Speaker 1: to your wedding that you've invited publicly on social media.
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what Claire has done. She's posted this online.
Speaker 1: She's docked her family member or her friend.
Speaker 2: She's name and shame.
Speaker 1: She's literally the one who's pro I had this information
Speaker 1: saying this guest thought he was so entitled to be
Speaker 1: there because he'd driven ten hours and brought his baby.
Speaker 2: Does she add him? Like? Does she tag him fastuff?
Speaker 2: I don't think she did well.
Speaker 3: I mean, you don't have to tag him, he'd still
Speaker 3: knows friends. That to me is a pretty big statement.
Speaker 3: That to me has been like, we're not friends anymore.
Speaker 3: If you're going to dock somebody to that level and
Speaker 3: make sure everyone knows that you're twat, then you're not
Speaker 3: going to be friends anymore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, to me, that's definitely you have made a decision.
Speaker 1: After standing up the front of doing your wedding vows,
Speaker 1: you're like, we shouldn't have beenvited that person.
Speaker 2: I reckon I'd stop.
Speaker 3: Down on the wedding and say, excuse me, security, can
Speaker 3: you escort that small child out?
Speaker 2: Can somebody you take that toddler out?
Speaker 1: I just want to say this because I found this
Speaker 1: very funny. Claire has come out and said She is
Speaker 1: now an advocate for completely charred free weddings because of
Speaker 1: this experience, and I think.
Speaker 2: Go off, Claire. Really lend your time for stuff that
Speaker 2: matters in the world. We love advocacy here at the
Speaker 2: some of homeless women's rights. How are you an advocate
Speaker 2: for that?
Speaker 4: Do you go to wedding scene if his kids there
Speaker 4: and take him out?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 2: What are you doing? I know, Claire, what are you doing?
Speaker 4: I want to know how are you advocating for that?
Speaker 2: We'll tag Claire in this post and we'll update you
Speaker 2: guys to
