Speaker 1: Laura.
Speaker 2: Come on, there you go the week? Have you hump
Speaker 2: day ladies?
Speaker 3: Hello everybody, how's your week in so far?
Speaker 4: Mitch?
Speaker 2: Oh good, I binge that Martha docu series on Netflix.
Speaker 3: Stewart, who doesn't know it's so good?
Speaker 2: Listen, hot take. I love Martha.
Speaker 4: Like, yes, she's a narcissist. She might have been a
Speaker 4: bit evil, but I am full on team Martha.
Speaker 2: Stewart.
Speaker 3: Well, she's like a narcissist that you kind of then
Speaker 3: you kind of fall in love with by the end, right, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: and I think she also she's also softened. Prison softened her.
Speaker 2: I don't think it softened her at all.
Speaker 3: I think it's made her harder. Okay, did you not
Speaker 3: see the bit it's come out recently. So she was
Speaker 3: talking about a journalist who wrote some really horrible things
Speaker 3: about her, and then she said, well, thank god that
Speaker 3: journalist is dead.
Speaker 2: Now, Oh this is the moment. Yeah, this is from
Speaker 2: the docu series.
Speaker 4: This is when she went to prison and the journalist
Speaker 4: was writing mean headlines of horrible headlines.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: New York Post lady was there just looking so smug.
Speaker 5: She had written horrible things during the entire trial. She's
Speaker 5: dead now, I thank goodness, and she doesn't have to
Speaker 5: nobody has to put up with that crap that she
Speaker 5: was reading all the tile.
Speaker 3: So the journalist came out and was like, I am
Speaker 3: not dead, Martha. She used some choice words that we
Speaker 3: can't put on the radio at three o'clock, but yeah,
Speaker 3: she's not dead.
Speaker 6: But then Martha came out again and was like, yeah,
Speaker 6: I know, I just wanted to tell people she was dead.
Speaker 3: She did doubled down. Yeah, but I also think, like Martha,
Speaker 3: if Martha says you're dead, you should just lay down
Speaker 3: and pretend to be dead, because this is a woman
Speaker 3: who knows what she's talking about. I'm sorry. I think
Speaker 3: he's right, you're dead. It's more metaphorically she's dead.
Speaker 2: Hey, next, get this.
Speaker 4: It has been revealed which celebrity Elon Musk has made cry.
Speaker 4: There were rumors that Elon Musk made a very famous
Speaker 4: comedian cry and we didn't know who it was, and
Speaker 4: now we finally.
Speaker 3: I wonder who try to figure it out?
Speaker 2: I have no I really want. We could go on

Speaker 4: the big news stories of the day or the week,
Speaker 4: and they decide if we pick them up as if
Speaker 4: we keep talking about them because they're just that hot,
Speaker 4: or we put them down we stop talking about them
Speaker 4: because they're just so not It's.
Speaker 3: All the things that people have been talking about today

Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh my god, huge news. So pick up, put down, ladies.
Speaker 4: First story, Elon Musk making a bunch of Saturday Night
Speaker 4: Live cast members cry.
Speaker 3: Not shocked, but obviously put it down. I know nothing
Speaker 3: about this, so I can't pick it up or put
Speaker 3: it down.
Speaker 4: It's been a big story for about a year here.
Speaker 4: He hosted well over a year ago. This is before
Speaker 4: he was kind of like pro Trump. He was kind
Speaker 4: of cool tech genius billionaires.
Speaker 2: Ever, yeah he was. There was a period where he was.
Speaker 3: It was with Grimes, Yeah, yes, yes, yeah.
Speaker 4: He hosted SNL and after that a whole bunch of
Speaker 4: cast members came out and said, oh my god, you
Speaker 4: know there was one host that's made his cry but
Speaker 4: will never tell you, who will never tell you who
Speaker 4: now that he's pro Trump and they hype Trump. They've
Speaker 4: come out and revealed that it's him, but also the
Speaker 4: celebrity that he made cry has owned up to it,
Speaker 4: have listened to these it's Chloe Finemans.
Speaker 7: I'm going to come out and say at long last
Speaker 7: that I'm the cast member that he made cry and
Speaker 7: he's the host that made someone cry. You're going to
Speaker 7: like go on your platform and be rude, like, guess
Speaker 7: what you made I Chloe Feineman burst into tears because
Speaker 7: I stayed up all night writing this sketch.
Speaker 2: I was so excited.
Speaker 3: I came in. I asked if you had any questions, and.
Speaker 7: You stared at me like you were firing me from
Speaker 7: Tesla and were like, it's not funny.
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know, Like, what do you get out
Speaker 3: of adding him a year later, except just like trying
Speaker 3: to get a one up?
Speaker 8: Now?
Speaker 2: I agree. I'll never tell you, guys when your jokes
Speaker 2: sound funny.
Speaker 3: You always fell us, and I never tell you when
Speaker 3: you make me cry, Mitch, but I will one day
Speaker 3: because I really.
Speaker 2: Make the press cry, pick up, put down, speak of crying. Jesus.
Speaker 4: I've seen the footage the Australian men's netball team performing
Speaker 4: a dance routine before their game.
Speaker 3: I didn't pick it up. Pick it up? Why can't
Speaker 3: they do a dance routine?
Speaker 6: I love it.
Speaker 2: I was just adding some drama. Actually am all for it.
Speaker 4: The Australian men's netball team didn't even know it existed.
Speaker 4: Has divided fans. On the opening day of netball's Fast
Speaker 4: five series, they lip sunk and syncs bye bye bye.
Speaker 2: Good on the men calling it cringe.
Speaker 3: I just think that's called spatus baite. There's no part
Speaker 3: of them.
Speaker 6: That were like, hey, this will make us play better.
Speaker 3: People want a viral moment.
Speaker 6: They knew that if they did an end sync dance
Speaker 6: together in unison before the game, it would go viral.
Speaker 3: That's that's where we're at now, sport.
Speaker 6: Didn't you see the NURL player in America, the huge
Speaker 6: player on the weekend that celebrated his touchdown by doing
Speaker 6: the raygun dance. I saw that these are just moments
Speaker 6: that people know they can like capitalize on the moment.
Speaker 2: Go viral, pick up or put down.
Speaker 4: There's a boss going viral for banning employees from taking
Speaker 4: leave to care for sick kids.
Speaker 3: Do put that down. Put that down with a strong
Speaker 3: put down, Throw it down, smash it. Okay, give me
Speaker 3: the context.
Speaker 4: All right, A box has been slammed for unreasonable note.
Speaker 4: He passed it on an office noticeboard. The note said,
Speaker 4: calling out because your child is sick, I mean going
Speaker 4: home sick thinks in America is no longer a valid
Speaker 4: excuse to miss work.
Speaker 2: And will now result in a write up.
Speaker 4: We do not employ your children, and as such, their
Speaker 4: sickness is not an excuse for you to miss work.
Speaker 2: Go team, Go team.
Speaker 3: That just would not fly in Australia. Like what are
Speaker 3: parents supposed to do? Like if you get a call
Speaker 3: up from your daycare or from your school that your
Speaker 3: kid is sick, you have to go and get them.
Speaker 3: And this is the thing that every parent has to
Speaker 3: deal with, Like it's just part and parcel that just
Speaker 3: for me is infuriating, Like you have a responsibility to
Speaker 3: take care of your kids and you need your workplace
Speaker 3: to support you. I agree, but I'm going to be
Speaker 3: devil's advocate here.
Speaker 6: I understand why an employer could get frustrated if say
Speaker 6: they have four staff that all have kids, and for
Speaker 6: a week straight they've all had to go and look
Speaker 6: after their kids and the work is not getting anything done.
Speaker 3: I understand why someone could be like, well what am
Speaker 3: I gonna do? I'm still trying to run a business.
Speaker 3: But absolutely not you take I mean people aren't just
Speaker 3: taking paid leave. There's parameters around how you take your leave.
Speaker 3: If it means that you have to take a sick day,
Speaker 3: you have sick days they're there for a reason, or
Speaker 3: you have bereavement leave, or you have like care is leave,
Speaker 3: Like there are so many different types of leave that
Speaker 3: you can and can't take. It's not like someone's just
Speaker 3: going I'm an o'clock off early, still pay me for
Speaker 3: the day anyway. That just that's outrageous to me. Yeah,
Speaker 3: put that down.
Speaker 4: In Australia, fall and part time employees can take care
Speaker 4: as leave paid on family member.
Speaker 2: It's allowed and it's good.
Speaker 3: Look as they should well look talking about kids, I
Speaker 3: am facing my own situation in my household at the
Speaker 3: moment with my my daughter Lawla. She's three and let's
Speaker 3: just say she is addicted to something and I don't
Speaker 3: know how to break the addiction.
Speaker 2: Very early for an addiction.
Speaker 3: My brain wanted to say so many things there, but
Speaker 3: I'm trying to run a three year old addict.
Speaker 4: All right, let's just say but out of puree for
Speaker 4: the time. That's next on the show.
Speaker 3: Guys, I've gotten myself into a situation. So Lola is
Speaker 3: three years old now right, well, she's almost three point five,
Speaker 3: oh three point eight, she's going to be four in
Speaker 3: February next year. And we kind of missed the boat
Speaker 3: on weaning her off something that most people wean their
Speaker 3: kids off when they're a little baby, hard drugs. Never
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, like like formula milk. No, look,
Speaker 3: Lola still has a dummy. Not all the time, hear
Speaker 3: me out. I'm not a terrible parent, but she still
Speaker 3: has a dummy at nighttime, and we have tried to
Speaker 3: get her off this thing, but she is obsessed. She
Speaker 3: is dummy obsessed, unlike any other kid I have ever experienced.
Speaker 3: She is obsessed to the point where we tried to
Speaker 3: wean her off at last year at Christmas time, and
Speaker 3: for six weeks, every single night she just scream cried,
Speaker 3: and then I'd have to like lay in bed and
Speaker 3: pat her to sleep, and it was a nightmare. So
Speaker 3: I was like, have it back. So I broke the
Speaker 3: golden rule. The golden rule is that if you wean
Speaker 3: your kid off a dummy, you never ever give it back.
Speaker 3: You just stay strong. But it didn't stay strong. She
Speaker 3: got it back, and now her addiction is even worse.
Speaker 3: He's made a grave error.
Speaker 6: I'm going to say that coming from someone with no
Speaker 6: kids or experience, you've heard.
Speaker 4: A yeah, I'm ready to pass immediate judgment and I've
Speaker 4: never paid somebody called docs.
Speaker 3: No. But look, I mean a lot of people feel
Speaker 3: really strongly about this, especially things like dummies and bottles
Speaker 3: and everything else, and like there is a time limit
Speaker 3: that kind of goes on, and just like reserve your judgment.
Speaker 3: I know that she should be off it, and we're trying,
Speaker 3: Like we're at a point now where we're like, okay,
Speaker 3: you're four years old in February. We need to try
Speaker 3: and win you off this thing.
Speaker 2: Four years old for.
Speaker 6: A dummy, right, wretchy teeth and stuff, and like you
Speaker 6: can have speech impediments.
Speaker 2: There can be a lot of stuff pushes your teeth out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's affecting her speech a little bit. But
Speaker 3: she does have like a mad overbide that's actually just cruel. Okay, no,
Speaker 3: it is if you know what's doing it. You've just
Speaker 3: got to harden up and do what's best.
Speaker 4: So expensive, in the long run, you're gonna have to
Speaker 4: pay races. There's a lot of dental work for her.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I know, but I kind of feel
Speaker 3: like at the moment, it's been the lesser of two evils,
Speaker 3: and now she's just like something that has become like
Speaker 3: a negociation tactic. Anyway, we're doing our best. We are
Speaker 3: about to introduce and remind her of the dummy Fairy.
Speaker 3: So I think it's time that the dummy Fairy is
Speaker 3: going to pay a visit to our house. Now, if
Speaker 3: you're not familiar with the dummy Fairy, the way it
Speaker 3: works is the dummy Fairy comes, she collects the dummy
Speaker 3: or he collects the dummy as it is in our household,
Speaker 3: and you plant it in the garden and the dummy
Speaker 3: Fairy leaves a lollipop or they leave a toy, or
Speaker 3: they leave something that's really special and the kid can
Speaker 3: choose like what it is that they want. And so
Speaker 3: I had this conversation with Lola the other day and
Speaker 3: I was like, okay, sweetie, like you know, the dummy
Speaker 3: Fairy is coming soon, we're going to do a calendar,
Speaker 3: we're going to do a countdown. We're reading a book
Speaker 3: about the Dummy Fairy. It's all very, very special, and
Speaker 3: she's starting to get excited about the idea about him
Speaker 3: coming and leaving her a present. And yesterday she runs
Speaker 3: into the bedroom and it's like three o'clock in the morning,
Speaker 3: so she's really excited to tell me that something that
Speaker 3: she's realized about the Dummy Fairy, and she goes, Mummy,
Speaker 3: I figured it out. She's like, if they're dummy fairy
Speaker 3: brings me presents, I'm just gonna ask for another dummy
Speaker 3: and then cackles with this evil Then you know they're
Speaker 3: too smart. It's too old. They can outsmart you.
Speaker 4: Like she's your fault man for like setting up those rules.
Speaker 4: You could have said anything, the dummy Fairy comes, take
Speaker 4: the fairies, and that's good. But you've said she gives
Speaker 4: you one gift whatever you was, grant you any wish
Speaker 4: in the world.
Speaker 3: I want more dummy. It's less amount of dummy, totally.
Speaker 2: Whatever your heart desires, the kid's heart desires dummies.
Speaker 3: This is what she had to say this morning about it.
Speaker 3: I thought maybe she'd forget and no, she hasn't gonna
Speaker 3: get me on it. She's she's convinced. She's gonna be
Speaker 3: sorely disappointed.
Speaker 2: I think I can hear you over. Yeah, I'm joking.
Speaker 3: I don't know how to negotiate this. I'm just gonna
Speaker 3: have to give us some tough stop negotiating. You don't
Speaker 3: negotiate with your child.
Speaker 6: We've spoken of so many children psychologists, and they all
Speaker 6: say the same thing.
Speaker 3: You set the boundaries and you tell them, or you
Speaker 3: can come over and try and put it to bed
Speaker 3: when she doesn't have one.
Speaker 2: When I do that, you've got yourself. Sorry, neither of us.
Speaker 6: Oh my god, No, all right, let's move along. Something
Speaker 6: I'm more in touch with. Well, I used to be
Speaker 6: dating horrific dating stories because we've got a couple of
Speaker 6: absolute bangers.
Speaker 4: I went on a date with the robot ones. I'll
Speaker 4: save it for next, But I did. I dated a No,
Speaker 4: he's a human, but I didn't realize he was half cyborg.
Speaker 4: It was a whole thing. I know the what.
Speaker 3: I'm so confused.
Speaker 2: Yeah, i'll tell you next, don't worry.
Speaker 6: I feel like it's that time of year again, at
Speaker 6: the end of the year, where everyone comes out of
Speaker 6: the woodworks and talks about their worst dates.
Speaker 3: Like it's like the.
Speaker 6: Year where everyone reflects back and they're like, you know what,
Speaker 6: I'm swearing off dating.
Speaker 3: I'm going single? Yeah, I mean it never gets easier,
Speaker 3: I does it.
Speaker 6: But there are these internet threads going bonkers where people have.
Speaker 3: Been riding in their dates and they're so cooked. I
Speaker 3: have listened to one of these.
Speaker 6: She told him she was a vegan, and he took
Speaker 6: her out to a steakhouse intentionally.
Speaker 3: When she said, Hey, I'm a vegan, can we go
Speaker 3: somewhere else? He said, nah, a bit of metal?
Speaker 6: Do you good?
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: I think that was an innuendo there. But if you're
Speaker 3: a vegan, you get invited. I didn't think about that.
Speaker 2: She also would still have to eat steak, so he
Speaker 2: was still a prick.
Speaker 3: But if you're a vegan, why did you even go,
Speaker 3: like just say no? Why did you say yes to
Speaker 3: the date?
Speaker 4: I went on a date once when I was single.
Speaker 4: This was years ago when I first came out. It
Speaker 4: was one of my first like guy dates, and I
Speaker 4: was dating this guy and we were on the like
Speaker 4: an open car park rooftop and he was shivering like
Speaker 4: I'm talking like shivering, and I wanted to get a
Speaker 4: look over the city to make a move to kiss him.
Speaker 4: And we're looking over the city like, you know, more
Speaker 4: fastera and simber, and I like put my arm around him,
Speaker 4: and he was hypothemic. He was shaking and cold to
Speaker 4: the touch, corpse like. And I was like, you're really cold,
Speaker 4: and he's like back to the car, and I was like,
Speaker 4: what's wrong?
Speaker 3: Is everything right?
Speaker 2: And I've got scoliosis. I've got a metal bean through
Speaker 2: my spine.
Speaker 3: Oh he was so it was literally freezing from the
Speaker 3: inside out.
Speaker 2: He's got a metal pole through his body. He's half cyborg.
Speaker 2: He froze.
Speaker 3: He's not, you know. I went on a date once
Speaker 3: where the guy it was literally a lunch date.
Speaker 6: I'm talking sandwich in the smoothie and the guy made
Speaker 6: me go and get twenty dollars cash from it at
Speaker 6: it's insane.
Speaker 3: I also went on a dinner date. He invited me
Speaker 3: to dinner, then he didn't eat, didn't drink, and then
Speaker 3: I paid for it. There's a lot of flogs out there.
Speaker 3: I went on a date once and I left to
Speaker 3: go to the were at his house and I went
Speaker 3: first date though, and it was he look, it sounds bad,
Speaker 3: but he said it was just for dessert, and that's
Speaker 3: what I thought it was. Anyway, I went to the
Speaker 3: bathroom and I came back out and he was completely
Speaker 3: stark naked, and there he was with two apple pies.
Speaker 3: And it was not what I wanted at all.
Speaker 6: The dessert.
Speaker 2: AI.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he had it on him. Anyway.
Speaker 2: He says, that's the weirdest thing I've ever heard. And
Speaker 2: he's called reminded you of a horror date story. What
Speaker 2: happened to you?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't know if it's much of a date.
Speaker 8: It's definitely unique.
Speaker 2: What is it?
Speaker 8: I was on holidays and I met this guy and
Speaker 8: he's working his part time summer job hiring out kayaks
Speaker 8: and paddle boards on the side of the river. And
Speaker 8: we hit it off and we decided to go for
Speaker 8: a little bit of a paddle downstream. We inevitably started
Speaker 8: getting it on on the river bank. What a nice date,
Speaker 8: I know, so romantic, and thankfully for me, it didn't
Speaker 8: last very long because as we wrapped up, he proceeds
Speaker 8: to let me know that this whole time, there has
Speaker 8: been a brown snake under my head.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, he didn't tell you and he didn't
Speaker 3: stop till he was done.
Speaker 8: That is so it was very focused.
Speaker 2: I can imagine. Yeah, they care.
Speaker 3: There was two snakes. There wasn't there was.
Speaker 4: I'm being told, apparently we have your husband, Laura Maddy
Speaker 4: Jay who's been listening.
Speaker 3: He's dated a lot of women.
Speaker 2: He's called the show Maddie Hope, he's not still.
Speaker 1: Hello, guys, how are we so well? This is when
Speaker 1: I lived in London. I lived in London for four years,
Speaker 1: just in case anyone was wondering, and I was on
Speaker 1: a first day. I met this girl on Tinder. We
Speaker 1: met at the pub, and I thought the date was
Speaker 1: going really well, like she was super chatty, super sociable,
Speaker 1: We're having great conversation. The only weird thing was she
Speaker 1: just kept going to the bathroom, but not just once,
Speaker 1: not twice, would go to the bathroom quite frequently in
Speaker 1: between drinks. And then I realized that she was actually
Speaker 1: indulging in how can I say the Devil's dandriff if you.
Speaker 3: Know what I mean? She was having her own party. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we get it, we get it.
Speaker 1: A couple of those beers and then eventually after a
Speaker 1: little while, she was like, look. She owned up to
Speaker 1: it and said, do you want someone I can give
Speaker 1: it to you go to the bathroom, and I was like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm okay. You know, it's a Tuesday night and I
Speaker 1: think I think I'll pass. And then she took that
Speaker 1: really badly, so she then announced on the top of
Speaker 1: her lungs to the entire bar, going, oh, great, so
Speaker 1: my date's going to judge me because I'm doing this.
Speaker 1: He thinks he's better than me, and then started attacking me.
Speaker 1: And then after a little while I kind of tried
Speaker 1: to calm down the situation. I said to her, I
Speaker 1: think it's best if I leave, And then once again
Speaker 1: she stood up at the top of hers in front
Speaker 1: of everyone of this busy bar in London, saying like,
Speaker 1: well look at look at me now, who's an idiot?
Speaker 1: My date's walking out of me. That makes you feel
Speaker 1: really good. Thanks a lot for a great first date.
Speaker 6: How do you feel, Matt, that like someone needed that
Speaker 6: much help to get through a date with you.
