0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Laura, come on, hell everyone welcome.

0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:26.120
<v Speaker 2>Who watched The Bachelor? Okay, I'm sick for it. Like

0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:27.280
<v Speaker 2>I love The Bachelor.

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:29.920
<v Speaker 3>You've got a husband and two kids from the show.

0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:32.080
<v Speaker 4>I know, I feel like maybe I am a little

0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:35.199
<v Speaker 4>bit biased, but I actually do love watching it and

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:37.320
<v Speaker 4>the fact that they've got the three bachelors now, like

0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:38.720
<v Speaker 4>it's weird, it feels different.

0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:40.479
<v Speaker 2>I know they did it last year, but I'm into it.

0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:40.839
<v Speaker 2>I love it.

0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:43.040
<v Speaker 3>So Laura, if you were on the show now and

0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:44.320
<v Speaker 3>you had to go and pick your.

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:47.920
<v Speaker 4>I mean, my husband can hear this, but that's fine.

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:53.000
<v Speaker 4>Pleasure is the lumberjack one, the Luke Luke.

0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Why just he just you know why? Okay.

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:00.080
<v Speaker 4>On the first episode, he was talking about how he

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:03.160
<v Speaker 4>was engaged before and then he broke up with his

0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:05.760
<v Speaker 4>ex and that relationship didn't work out. But it was

0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:08.120
<v Speaker 4>the way in which he spoke about his ex. He said, oh,

0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:09.959
<v Speaker 4>you know, I was once engaged to someone who I

0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:13.160
<v Speaker 4>love so much. She was an incredible person, and things

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:14.600
<v Speaker 4>don't just sometimes don't work.

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Out the way you expected them to. Just the way

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:18.840
<v Speaker 2>he spoke about his ex, I was like, oh my god,

0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:19.160
<v Speaker 2>this is.

0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:20.360
<v Speaker 5>A good man's on a.

0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:22.520
<v Speaker 3>TV show is the leading man. What did you think

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:23.200
<v Speaker 3>he was going to stay?

0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:23.399
<v Speaker 6>Now?

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:25.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't know him. This is no judgment, but like,

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:25.600
<v Speaker 2>come on.

0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:28.200
<v Speaker 4>He could have said I was heartbroken, you know, things

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:30.039
<v Speaker 4>didn't work out. He could have made it about himself,

0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:32.560
<v Speaker 4>but instead he said really lovely things about her, and

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:33.720
<v Speaker 4>I thought that that says a lot.

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 2>About a person.

0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:35.960
<v Speaker 5>It does look good in overalls with an accident.

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:36.959
<v Speaker 2>Here are you picking?

0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I didn't watch it, but I like Usha quick Gosha

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:43.160
<v Speaker 1>and he looks the most gay. He looks the most gay.

0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 1>It's seven thirty on Channel ten tonight. If you want

0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 1>to watch the new season of the Bachelor, Yeah, I'll

0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:47.680
<v Speaker 1>give it a go. I'm excited for it.

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:48.120
<v Speaker 5>All right.

0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:50.320
<v Speaker 4>Well, coming up, if you are in a long term

0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:53.080
<v Speaker 4>relationship and you're a female, there is quite an alarming

0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:55.560
<v Speaker 4>study that has come out that says that a lot

0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 4>of women might have back up boyfriends in mind.

0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 5>Oh all right, that's all on the here at the pickup.

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 4>So I came across a new study recently, and the

0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:09.440
<v Speaker 4>findings of this study are very controversial. It really pertains

0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:10.720
<v Speaker 4>to you more than it does to me. But I

0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:13.080
<v Speaker 4>want to know how you feel about this. Okay, So

0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:16.880
<v Speaker 4>this is the findings. Fifty percent of women in relationships

0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 4>have a backup partner.

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:20.079
<v Speaker 2>Now what rubbish?

0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:22.120
<v Speaker 4>Okay, wait wait wait, What that means is not that

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 4>you have somebody already on the go or anything like that,

0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 4>but just that most women who are in relationships have

0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:31.800
<v Speaker 4>somebody in the periphery of their mind who they could

0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:33.120
<v Speaker 4>go to if things fell.

0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Flat in their relationship.

0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:37.400
<v Speaker 4>Now, like a kind of like a just in case emergency,

0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 4>pull the ripcord kind of person.

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 3>It took me the better part of ten years to

0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 3>find the first person to be in the relationship with.

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:45.040
<v Speaker 2>How are these people finding backup?

0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:47.040
<v Speaker 5>Who has an understudied partner? Wait?

0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 3>And like, do you have to like stay in some

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 3>sort of contact with his people to make sure that

0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.120
<v Speaker 3>they're staying on your level to fill.

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.600
<v Speaker 5>Yes, like a six weekly checking in. This is dumb.

0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:57.920
<v Speaker 3>This is so dumb. If you are listening right now

0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 3>and you have a backup person for your relafelationship, I'm

0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:02.760
<v Speaker 3>going to tell you some groundbreaking news.

0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:04.200
<v Speaker 2>You're in the wrong relationship.

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 3>If you are already backing up that your relationship isn't

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 3>going to work.

0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Call it quits now.

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 4>Yes, but what if it's still early doors. Okay, like

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 4>you're saying this, what if you've only been dating for

0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 4>six months or seven months or something, and you're in it,

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:16.680
<v Speaker 4>but you're not one hundred percent sure if they're one

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:17.799
<v Speaker 4>hundred percent and.

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:21.360
<v Speaker 5>So then you have this I have a conversation.

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:22.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, how are you doing this?

0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:24.720
<v Speaker 5>But I actually, to be honest, Laura, I know what

0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:25.080
<v Speaker 5>you mean.

0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:26.840
<v Speaker 1>When you're in the early stages of dating and the

0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:29.000
<v Speaker 1>roster is open, you have a couple of people on

0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:31.200
<v Speaker 1>the back burner in the first six months.

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 2>I okay, that's different. You've got a roster.

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:35.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, yeah, But if you're in a long term

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:37.000
<v Speaker 5>relationship bad Also.

0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.120
<v Speaker 2>Don't come for me. This is not my data. I'm

0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:40.480
<v Speaker 2>not the fifty percent in this room.

0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 5>Okay, you went out on the street.

0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:43.480
<v Speaker 4>No, no, yeah, I wasn't like, Hey, how do I

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 4>feel about my husband? I know who have two children

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 4>with No. But this is obviously there has been quite

0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:50.440
<v Speaker 4>a research pool that's been done and there are people

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 4>who have this.

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:51.800
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 4>I would love to know if you were out there

0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:55.520
<v Speaker 4>and you have feelings about this, or you have a

0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:57.200
<v Speaker 4>backup partner in mind, what does that look for?

0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.240
<v Speaker 5>Thirteen One of six five a burner partner. It's like

0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:00.520
<v Speaker 5>a burner phone you've just got.

0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:03.120
<v Speaker 4>Like maybe you say, oh, he's just my friend, but

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 4>you've got a partner.

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 3>It means you also don't want to be on your own,

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.000
<v Speaker 3>means you want a monkey branch because I thought of

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 3>them breaking up with you is like, oh, I need

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 3>to have someone ready to go.

0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 5>Liz is here, I'm thirteen one or six five? Do

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 5>you have a backup partner?

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:15.640
<v Speaker 4>Liz?

0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:20.039
<v Speaker 6>I do not have a backup partner. I think that's ridiculous,

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:23.279
<v Speaker 6>and I think it's really sad. Like I totally agree.

0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:25.359
<v Speaker 6>I think that the study should be titled that fifty

0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:27.440
<v Speaker 6>percent of women aren't happy in their relationships.

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 3>Women are insecure in their relationship.

0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:34.040
<v Speaker 6>Totally Like who knew that behind closed doors women secretly

0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:37.159
<v Speaker 6>have a boyfriend reserve bank. I think it's crazy and.

0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:40.560
<v Speaker 1>Also the best part about I think leaving a relationship

0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 1>is then having those single months after And if you've

0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:44.920
<v Speaker 1>got a backup waiting, then you just are robbing yourself

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:45.719
<v Speaker 1>of personal growth.

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:48.560
<v Speaker 3>How long you've been in your relationship For Liz, I've

0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:51.919
<v Speaker 3>been in a relationship for seven years. No no itch,

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 3>no backup, no.

0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.599
<v Speaker 6>Itch, no and I just think like there's a difference

0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.680
<v Speaker 6>between having a little perv on someone and then having

0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.720
<v Speaker 6>a backup like I also, I think imagine if the

0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:04.400
<v Speaker 6>shree was on the other foot, imagine for the study

0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.520
<v Speaker 6>done by men like we would be up in.

0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:07.880
<v Speaker 5>Art totally true.

0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.400
<v Speaker 1>All right, Ella's called on thirteen. Ella, what's your take

0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 1>on this? Do you have a backup partner? Oh?

0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:16.080
<v Speaker 6>Look, I think that we all do. I'm not sure

0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.719
<v Speaker 6>that statistics right, I think it's much higher. I think

0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.000
<v Speaker 6>most would if they're being truly honest.

0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:22.880
<v Speaker 4>Okay, I have to know, Ella, how long have you

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:25.240
<v Speaker 4>been in a relationship for She's like even years?

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:29.520
<v Speaker 5>All right, what's what's the backup? How close are they? Like?

0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:31.479
<v Speaker 1>What's the proximity to your backup? Could you go to

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:32.640
<v Speaker 1>them tomorrow?

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Or I could?

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:37.880
<v Speaker 3>But that means you are having contact with them, Ella, Which.

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:39.920
<v Speaker 2>Wait, I need to know more. Where are things at

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.040
<v Speaker 2>now in terms of appropriate friendship level?

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:45.720
<v Speaker 5>Like do you is there they's best friends? Oh?

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Ella, Ella, Ella, Ella, I'm gonna wait, I need more.

0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:53.080
<v Speaker 2>You are the minority here, not the other way around.

0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.840
<v Speaker 6>Okay, I understand that it's just very complicated because the

0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:58.040
<v Speaker 6>best friend is also my.

0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 3>Omic Okay, you got way bigger issues, all right, but

0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:02.960
<v Speaker 3>we don't have time about I.

0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Know I need to know.

0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 4>So wait, you've kept him as a friend though, and

0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:07.919
<v Speaker 4>your partner things that you guys are all just amicable friends.

0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:09.360
<v Speaker 2>But there's still some fire there.

0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:11.360
<v Speaker 1>I think there is.

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:14.119
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, And it's not my decision that they're still friends.

0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:15.960
<v Speaker 6>They're just wear it still on each other's lives.

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:17.520
<v Speaker 3>This is.

0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:21.680
<v Speaker 5>A najatoire, but today I think that's what it is.

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 5>I'm just saying, maybe go for it, dive in.

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:27.400
<v Speaker 2>I think you need to can that friendship, Britt. I

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:28.919
<v Speaker 2>agree with you. I think that that's a friendship.

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:32.120
<v Speaker 4>That's a disaster waiting to Speaking of disasters, waiting to happen,

0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 4>Britt and Mitch, you guys are going traveling together at

0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.320

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.560
<v Speaker 4>matter of weeks, just the two of you. And look,

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:42.040
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if you are accurate. I don't know

0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.560
<v Speaker 4>if you were both as compatible as you think you are.

0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.480
<v Speaker 4>You're jealous, I am, But I also I think that

0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 4>this is going to end in disaster. I think this

0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.120
<v Speaker 4>is going to end in true love.

0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:51.520
<v Speaker 2>And a marriage.

0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:56.120

<v Speaker 1>We're a couple.

0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:07.560

0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 2>the right direction of your relationship. It's a big step in.

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.160
<v Speaker 3>A friendship relationship because you can be really good friends

0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:14.880
<v Speaker 3>with someone and traveling is a whole another kettle of fish.

0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.760

0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.760
<v Speaker 4>I know you guys are thrilled about this, but I

0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:37.880
<v Speaker 4>feel like you've forgotten because we have been on an

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.200
<v Speaker 4>overseas trip together. We went to Balley last year and

0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:43.800
<v Speaker 4>Mitch is a series of disasters when it comes to holiday.

0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:46.200
<v Speaker 2>This man yea yea yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahah yeah.

0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.040
<v Speaker 4>I've never met a man who is more And I

0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:50.400
<v Speaker 4>love you, and I say this with all the love

0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.239
<v Speaker 4>in the world. Yes, but you are a catastrophizer.

0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:54.920
<v Speaker 2>You went to drama school.

0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 4>You were a dramatizer and a little bit of a hypochondriac,

0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.400
<v Speaker 4>and that little combination of person to get on an

0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:02.160
<v Speaker 4>overseas holiday could end in disaster.

0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:03.160
<v Speaker 5>But I'm a fun person.

0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:04.800
<v Speaker 2>You never know what's going to happen.

0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:05.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:07.920
<v Speaker 3>No, well we remember in Bali you got barley belly.

0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.320
<v Speaker 3>You called a doctor to put you on a drip.

0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.680
<v Speaker 2>You crashed your scooter. Then you got so scared of driving.

0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:14.400
<v Speaker 5>Someone hit me.

0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, then you didn't drive it anymore.

0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 1>That monkey.

0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:18.680
<v Speaker 5>You wouldn't drink, You wouldn't.

0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Drink the water.

0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:20.560
<v Speaker 3>You didn't know how to book your flies. You know

0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:22.600
<v Speaker 3>how to book your accommodation. I had to book your

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:26.400
<v Speaker 3>flights to Scotland for this trip. It made me realize,

0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:28.400
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how this trip is going to go.

0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.680
<v Speaker 3>The other thing, the icing on the cake, is that

0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:35.920
<v Speaker 3>you have this obsession with my boyfriend Ben, and I'm

0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.040
<v Speaker 3>a bit concern that when you go on this trip,

0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:40.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to get kicked out and you and himre

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:41.160
<v Speaker 3>gonna have some little love affairs.

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.400
<v Speaker 1>When Ben came over from from Scotland for the first time,

0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:45.439
<v Speaker 1>BRIT's like, I really wanted to be friends. You'd be friends,

0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:47.920
<v Speaker 1>so we forged a friendship. Now I'm accused of trying

0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 1>to bone BRIT's boyfriend.

0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 2>What did you write to him on the weekend? I

0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:51.720
<v Speaker 2>saw your text message.

0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:54.120
<v Speaker 5>I just said I miss you? Do you love me

0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 5>as much?

0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:57.319
<v Speaker 2>That is literally? And what did he say?

0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:58.400
<v Speaker 5>He said yes?

0:08:58.559 --> 0:08:59.920
<v Speaker 1>And then I said can I drive your car when

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:03.800
<v Speaker 1>in Scotland? And he said absolutely not. Well, well, are

0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:04.520
<v Speaker 1>you actually worried?

0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:05.559
<v Speaker 5>Because I'm good about you.

0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:07.800
<v Speaker 1>I've grown, I'm an older person, I've lost weight, I'm

0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:09.760
<v Speaker 1>lighter on the plane, like, there's so much benefits to.

0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 5>Traveling with me.

0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:12.560
<v Speaker 3>No, I am a little bit worried about how it's

0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:15.199
<v Speaker 3>going to go down because you aren't joining the family trip,

0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:17.439
<v Speaker 3>your mom and dad, My mom and dad as well.

0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:19.160
<v Speaker 3>We're going on this three day road trip. But I

0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:20.960
<v Speaker 3>do want to ask you, just like I just need

0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:22.040
<v Speaker 3>to test the waters a little bit.

0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:23.760
<v Speaker 5>Hold on, is this an interview to see if I

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:24.439
<v Speaker 5>can come or not?

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:26.640
<v Speaker 2>We want to see how compatible you actually are for.

0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.200
<v Speaker 5>Traveling Toots with this you churncut.

0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:29.880
<v Speaker 6>I like to know.

0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:33.520
<v Speaker 3>I would like to place a situation, a scenario. Okay,

0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:35.640
<v Speaker 3>we're hiking you and I are in the Scottish Higlands.

0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:36.240
<v Speaker 5>This is dramatic.

0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:41.600
<v Speaker 2>Do you have some dramatic musicscucts? Hiking is a snowstorm prepared?

0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:44.520
<v Speaker 3>A snowstorm comes out of nowhere, Okay, because that's what

0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 3>happens in the highlands.

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:47.400
<v Speaker 5>I'm closing my eyes as we subl as we.

0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:48.840
<v Speaker 2>Start to run from the avalanche.

0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:52.480
<v Speaker 3>I have trips. It's an avalanche over a highland cow

0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:55.280
<v Speaker 3>and I have rolled my ankle and I can I

0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:56.360
<v Speaker 3>can't go forward anymore.

0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:57.640
<v Speaker 6>What do you do?

0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:00.680
<v Speaker 5>I checked the cows, okay, because they're in danger highland.

0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:07.040
<v Speaker 5>You never suck the vent amount you that's a snake though.

0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:09.080
<v Speaker 2>And you don't know whether she had a spinal injury.

0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:10.160
<v Speaker 2>To just leave it there totally?

0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:12.240
<v Speaker 5>Yes, leave it on a head down? Correct?

0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Do you at least leave me with a coat for coke?

0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:15.360
<v Speaker 5>A coat?

0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:15.640
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:19.319
<v Speaker 5>Well, not my coat, no designer, absolutely not. Okay, I'll

0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 5>call it ambulance. It's one one one in the UK

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:21.760
<v Speaker 5>Okay Highlands.

0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:22.719
<v Speaker 2>You don't get an ambulance at it.

0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:23.040
<v Speaker 6>Okay.

0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:25.679
<v Speaker 2>Scenario two. You and I are on a night out,

0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:28.439
<v Speaker 2>just alone. We're having a great time, drinking feasible. I

0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:30.880
<v Speaker 2>can't quite be sure where we are, and.

0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:32.760
<v Speaker 3>Then you meet a guy that wants to go home

0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:33.000
<v Speaker 3>with you?

0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:35.920
<v Speaker 2>Tricky? What do you do in that situation?

0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:37.959
<v Speaker 5>Get in the newber and I go home with you?

0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:38.600
<v Speaker 5>What's the problem?

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.040
<v Speaker 2>Are you guys not staying at the same hotel at

0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:41.400
<v Speaker 2>this point?

0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:44.160
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, we're sharing a bed in multiple accommodations.

0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Firstly, you don't bring him back. Secondly, you don't leave

0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:50.559
<v Speaker 2>me out there on my own in the club loan

0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.000
<v Speaker 2>and you let me in the Highlands with an old ankle. Yeah,

0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:55.720
<v Speaker 2>I am seeing a pattern here. It's spread alone on holidays.

0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:58.959
<v Speaker 5>Yes, at the moment you're solo traveling. Is your ankle

0:10:59.000 --> 0:10:59.760
<v Speaker 5>still rolled at the night?

0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Because it is? I mean a moon boo.

0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:03.920
<v Speaker 5>Okay, you come with us, you come with us, come

0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:04.280
<v Speaker 5>home with this.

0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:07.760
<v Speaker 2>You shouldn't want to see that either. All right, I

0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:12.080
<v Speaker 2>have a question for you, guys. Mitch. You are quite

0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 2>the fancy traveler.

0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:14.280
<v Speaker 5>Maam you are?

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.120
<v Speaker 4>You love your bougier little holiday rooms you like like

0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.720
<v Speaker 4>you like a good airbnb that has like a breakfast

0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:22.000
<v Speaker 4>in the morning, everything all inclusive.

0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:25.840
<v Speaker 5>Five star. I don't like hostels. I do love breakfast food.

0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:27.680
<v Speaker 4>So how are you going to feel about the fact

0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:30.080
<v Speaker 4>that one of the weeks off your Scottish trip has

0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:31.480
<v Speaker 4>been booked in a hostel.

0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:33.439
<v Speaker 5>No, we haven't. We have hotels the whole time.

0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:35.000
<v Speaker 2>No, okay, you don't.

0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:38.400
<v Speaker 3>Well what happened is Mitch loves boogie things, but Mitch's

0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:40.959
<v Speaker 3>bank balance doesn't like boogie things. So we've had to

0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:43.280
<v Speaker 3>Mitch one of these fancy stuff and he put me

0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:46.360
<v Speaker 3>on a budget. So sorry, we are top and tailing

0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:47.040
<v Speaker 3>in event.

0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:49.319
<v Speaker 4>You guys are staying at one hotel which is actually

0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 4>a hostel which has bunk beds in a shared.

0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:54.160
<v Speaker 5>Or is this actually one week? I'm not playing around.

0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:56.080
<v Speaker 2>You didn't give me much of a budget to play

0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:56.199
<v Speaker 2>with it.

0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:58.319
<v Speaker 5>To me, this is more intense than you want a

0:11:58.360 --> 0:11:59.080
<v Speaker 5>cow in the highlights.

0:11:59.160 --> 0:11:59.520
<v Speaker 4>You know why.

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:01.319
<v Speaker 2>It's because it's balanced.

0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:03.959
<v Speaker 4>So for most of the places you're staying in nice hotels,

0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:05.960
<v Speaker 4>but to be able to make it come into budget,

0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:08.960
<v Speaker 4>one of the hotels is actually a hostage. That's where

0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:09.720
<v Speaker 4>you're going to be staying.

0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:11.880
<v Speaker 5>I don't sleep in I'm not doing hostile. You have

0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:13.520
<v Speaker 5>back Mountain many times.

0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's the tenth.

0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:16.120
<v Speaker 5>I don't think you've seen that movie.

0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:20.240
<v Speaker 2>What holiday are you going on for it?

0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:22.360
<v Speaker 5>I do not think you see that film.

0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that was the wrong camping analogy mich is really

0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:36.319
<v Speaker 2>excited about. Look, guys, this is going to be a

0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:38.760
<v Speaker 2>very very different change of pays. But coming up. I

0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:42.080
<v Speaker 2>have a real PSA for parents out there. Don't listen

0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:44.120
<v Speaker 2>to the pip tect your kids to.

0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:45.599
<v Speaker 5>Keep them out the car that's on the way to

0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:47.280
<v Speaker 5>pick up guys.

0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.040
<v Speaker 4>I have something that's a lot more serious that I

0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:51.120
<v Speaker 4>wanted to talk to you about. It comes as a

0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:53.679
<v Speaker 4>bit of a PSA to parents out there. As you

0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.400
<v Speaker 4>might know, I'm a mom. I have two little kids, Marley,

0:12:56.480 --> 0:13:00.160
<v Speaker 4>she's four and Lawless two, and on the weekend we

0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:03.640
<v Speaker 4>were faced with the situation that I did not think

0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:06.240
<v Speaker 4>I would be faced with this early with my kids. So,

0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:07.920
<v Speaker 4>just to kind of give you the background, we have

0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:10.480
<v Speaker 4>a lovely older lady who lives next door to us.

0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:13.439
<v Speaker 4>She's in her eighties. It's been a really nice part

0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:15.079
<v Speaker 4>of like living in this new house is that the

0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:17.440
<v Speaker 4>kids will go over and they will visit this lovely

0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.199
<v Speaker 4>lady next door, and our doors always opened her and

0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:22.640
<v Speaker 4>we kind of try and keep her company as well

0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:24.560
<v Speaker 4>as you know, allow the kids to have a bit

0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.440
<v Speaker 4>of a relationship with our neighbor, and on the weekend

0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:29.839
<v Speaker 4>just passed, I went over there with the girls and

0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:32.120
<v Speaker 4>my neighbor and I were standing on the balcony having

0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:34.600
<v Speaker 4>a chat, and the girls ran inside into her house

0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.440
<v Speaker 4>and we're playing around because she's got dolls inside, she's.

0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:38.079
<v Speaker 2>Got things in there.

0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:42.800
<v Speaker 4>And about fifteen minutes past and Marley and Lola came out,

0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:46.199
<v Speaker 4>and Lola, who's two, was white as a ghost, and

0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:49.640
<v Speaker 4>Marley was bawling her eyes out, and I thought, what

0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 4>could have possibly just happened? And Marley came out and said, oh,

0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:57.480
<v Speaker 4>there was something on the TV. And I walked inside,

0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:01.240
<v Speaker 4>and not realizing our neighbor, who is quite elderly, she

0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 4>didn't really register what she had playing out on the TV,

0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:07.319
<v Speaker 4>and she had a true crime documentary playing. And so

0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.840
<v Speaker 4>the girls had run inside they'd seen something on the TV,

0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:12.520
<v Speaker 4>and then they'd stood there and watched it, and they

0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:16.840
<v Speaker 4>had seen something truly horrific play out on TV, really violent.

0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:19.160
<v Speaker 4>And now this is so much for a little two

0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:20.560
<v Speaker 4>year old and a four year old to process, and

0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:22.800
<v Speaker 4>also for me as a parent to process the fact

0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:24.920
<v Speaker 4>that they've experienced this and they've seen it, and then

0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:27.840
<v Speaker 4>how do we deal with that, and it's just been

0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:30.200
<v Speaker 4>such a challenging two days and it's going to make

0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.800
<v Speaker 4>me upset because you try so hard as a mum

0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:34.920
<v Speaker 4>to protect your kids from this sort of stuff and

0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:38.480
<v Speaker 4>then it feels like, in one moment, you can completely

0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.080
<v Speaker 4>fail them. And that's how I felt off the back

0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.920
<v Speaker 4>of that experience. And you know, I thought in this

0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:46.800
<v Speaker 4>house they were so safe. We've done it a hundred times,

0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:48.760
<v Speaker 4>and it was just in that moment and then you're like,

0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:51.240
<v Speaker 4>how do you take back something that they've now seen.

0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.120
<v Speaker 4>How do you comfort them in a way to explain

0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:55.080
<v Speaker 4>what they've seen on a TV isn't real when they're

0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:56.840
<v Speaker 4>too young to really comprehend what's happening.

0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:00.800
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I think the thing is here, not that

0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:04.080
<v Speaker 3>it makes it okay. But unfortunately in life there are

0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:05.760
<v Speaker 3>going to be things that are outside of your control.

0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:09.240
<v Speaker 3>And you can be the best parent in the entire world,

0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.120
<v Speaker 3>which we all know you are, and these things can

0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:14.600
<v Speaker 3>still happen that you can't undo that, and you can't

0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.640
<v Speaker 3>be even a helicopter parent can't be with their kids

0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:19.480
<v Speaker 3>twenty four to seven. Like there's always going to be

0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:21.480
<v Speaker 3>something in life. And you know, you hear this from

0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:24.560
<v Speaker 3>parents all the time at all different ages that you

0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:26.520
<v Speaker 3>wish you could protect them from everything and be there

0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:28.480
<v Speaker 3>with them every step of the way, but you just can't.

0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:31.760
<v Speaker 3>And I guess now it's how do you explain to

0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:33.880
<v Speaker 3>them that that was fake, that that wasn't real, that

0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:38.240
<v Speaker 3>that's a growing up show where it's acting like I'm assuming.

0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:39.640
<v Speaker 1>That was tomatoesce that what you have is that what

0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:41.720
<v Speaker 1>you had to do. What was your first step as

0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:43.520
<v Speaker 1>a parent. Did you talk to Matt, your husband, and go,

0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:44.680
<v Speaker 1>we need to talk to them.

0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:47.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And my first step with the girls was really reassuring.

0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:49.760
<v Speaker 4>I mean, they live in the safest house, They are

0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:51.840
<v Speaker 4>filled with love, like they are filled with safety. But

0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.400
<v Speaker 4>I just I was like, how do you explain to

0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:56.560
<v Speaker 4>them that what's happening on the TV isn't real? How

0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:58.680
<v Speaker 4>do you explain to them that what they've just seen

0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.280
<v Speaker 4>is not something that they should have to comprehend it?

0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:04.080
<v Speaker 4>And I guess partly as well, like you want to

0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:06.640
<v Speaker 4>validate that it's okay to be scared of that, because

0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:09.040
<v Speaker 4>I would have been scared too, but it's not real.

0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:12.160
<v Speaker 4>And I guess for me, I just having this experience

0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.600
<v Speaker 4>on the weekend, it made me exactly as you said, like,

0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:17.720
<v Speaker 4>realize that you can try so hard, like you can

0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.520
<v Speaker 4>put all of the safety nets in place, and sometimes

0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:23.560
<v Speaker 4>things can happen that feel beyond your control. But that

0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:26.120
<v Speaker 4>doesn't mean that you don't feel incredibly guilty for it.

0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:28.120
<v Speaker 4>And That's what I'm dealing with now, is this, like

0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:30.080
<v Speaker 4>I feel like I'm the failure in that.

0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh, Laurie, you can't feel that, because that's so normal

0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.640
<v Speaker 1>and so natural. It's part of growing up. Like you said, Britta,

0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:40.040
<v Speaker 1>and I have memories to this day of seeing pans Labyrinth.

0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Nowhere near what the girls saw, but that's.

0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.320
<v Speaker 5>So scary. And also all my cousins had all the

0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:50.200
<v Speaker 5>Goosebumps books and the front covers.

0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:51.200
<v Speaker 2>I was scared.

0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:52.480
<v Speaker 5>I would go downstairs in.

0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:54.280
<v Speaker 1>My cousin's house at family events and I'd look at

0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:55.920
<v Speaker 1>these covers and I'd look at them and I'd be

0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:58.040
<v Speaker 1>so terrified, and I would lose sleep over them. I

0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.680
<v Speaker 1>didn't tell anyone, And it's not my parents forat I

0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:02.240
<v Speaker 1>don't think I'm playing my kids. So your kids are

0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:02.880
<v Speaker 1>not going to blame you.

0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:05.399
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And maybe this is the reminder to parents, like

0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:08.760
<v Speaker 4>your kids at some point are going to see things

0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:11.520
<v Speaker 4>whether it be because they have an older sibling who's

0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:14.800
<v Speaker 4>on an iPad, or because you've been on Instagram and like,

0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:17.520
<v Speaker 4>there's so much that's happening online these days, whether it

0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:21.119
<v Speaker 4>be violence overseas or whatever it is, but it is

0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:23.560
<v Speaker 4>very easy for them to come across something that is

0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:25.720
<v Speaker 4>not age appropriate. And I guess for me, this was

0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:29.760
<v Speaker 4>a real lesson around how much more I guess active

0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:31.920
<v Speaker 4>I have to be and how much more protection kids

0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:35.040
<v Speaker 4>need in terms of like screen time and having that

0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:35.880
<v Speaker 4>being in front of mind.

0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:38.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, of course, all right, let's get out of here, guys,

0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:38.720
<v Speaker 5>let's go.

0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:41.399
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna chat to you tomorrow. We're back for your Wednesday.

0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:43.119
<v Speaker 1>If you've missed the show, you can podcast that. We

0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:45.159
<v Speaker 1>had a revelation that fifty percent of women have a

0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:46.000
<v Speaker 1>backup boyfriend.

0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:49.639
<v Speaker 2>I know there's three women in this room right now,

0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:51.600
<v Speaker 2>and none of us have a backup boyfriend. So you

0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:53.120
<v Speaker 2>have backup boyfriends when you're dating.

0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:57.560
<v Speaker 5>I even have one boyfriend. I said, no, I don't.

0:17:57.600 --> 0:17:58.200
<v Speaker 5>I don't have a backup.

0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:00.600
<v Speaker 1>But we had this conversation earlier in the show podcast

0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:01.840
<v Speaker 1>on iHeart Search the Pickup.

0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:03.200
<v Speaker 5>We'll see you guys tomorrow.

0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:03.440
<v Speaker 3>The
