Speaker 1: So I have some very exciting news, guys with me
Speaker 1: and my fiance in the Hockley Seagrest household. So if
Speaker 1: you don't know, my fiancee, Ben lives in Romania. So
Speaker 1: we are long distance. It's not ideal, it's not by choice,
Speaker 1: but it's where we are. We live on opposite sides
Speaker 1: of the world. And he's been in Romania for the
Speaker 1: last six months. He's a football player there, so he
Speaker 1: plays for a team. Now, Romania hasn't been top of
Speaker 1: my list, and I would like to feel like the
Speaker 1: news I'm about to share is because of my manifestation.
Speaker 2: This is all you. You made this happen, britt Congratulations Brittany.
Speaker 1: Not Ben dedicating twenty five years of his life to this,
Speaker 1: not his skill, my manifestation. But Ben just yesterday signed
Speaker 1: like the biggest best deal of his life in terms
Speaker 1: of the country he's going to live in. And he's
Speaker 1: just moved officially to Italy exactly. And I'm more excited
Speaker 1: about this because feeder chini carbonari is my favorite meal
Speaker 1: in the world.
Speaker 2: You also called me yesterday and said I now live
Speaker 2: in Italy, which was a very dramatic way of breaking
Speaker 2: the news that I'm I'm thrilled for you. I really
Speaker 2: get not sure what that means for the show, but
Speaker 2: thrilled for you in my mind.
Speaker 3: I live in Italy now.
Speaker 2: The thing though, is why is it that every time
Speaker 2: he's moved, Because originally when you guys started dating, he
Speaker 2: was in Scotland. Then he's in Romania, now is in Italy.
Speaker 2: It feels like these changes in contract happen overnight, like
Speaker 2: there's never been a discussion about Italy, and then literally
Speaker 2: the next day you're like, oh, yeah, he's on a flight.
Speaker 2: It's Italy, which went back.
Speaker 1: Fascinating. It's so fascinating. So if you don't know, you
Speaker 1: might not care. But like, the football world is really interesting.
Speaker 1: So only at one month of the year in January
Speaker 1: and one month in like June July is what they
Speaker 1: call a transfer window. It's the window that opens up
Speaker 1: where every football around the world has to move.
Speaker 3: Like that's it.
Speaker 1: Every move around two different teams happens then, so it's
Speaker 1: like a domino effect.
Speaker 2: And this goes for every league, Like every league's different.
Speaker 2: But even though the leagues are different, they still have
Speaker 2: transfer windows.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because Italy, someone could move to America and then
Speaker 1: someone from England could move to Australia or whatever it is.
Speaker 3: So it is the window. So it's a domino effect.
Speaker 1: You don't know what positions might open up until someone
Speaker 1: starts moving and then that person's replaced, but then that
Speaker 1: position opens up.
Speaker 3: So it happens really quickly.
Speaker 1: So you know that the options there to move, but
Speaker 1: you don't know when, where, how, and when it does come,
Speaker 1: it's quick. So he found out he got the offer,
Speaker 1: checked with me if Italy was okay, and I said,
Speaker 1: get there right now.
Speaker 3: You should have got there yesterday. I was like, get
Speaker 3: on the first plane.
Speaker 1: But then he had like not even twenty four hours
Speaker 1: notice to pack up his entire life, get on a
Speaker 1: plane and land in Italy.
Speaker 2: What does he take though, like coming back one bag?
Speaker 2: And then who packs up his stuff in Romania and
Speaker 2: moves it to which when you think about it, it's
Speaker 2: actually your stuff because there's so much of your stuff
Speaker 2: that's currently in Romania and every time Ben seems to move,
Speaker 2: your stuff is the stuff that gets.
Speaker 1: Left bo Well, now my podcasts and radio equipments in Romania.
Speaker 1: So someone can no, I don't know, he just has
Speaker 1: to work it out. They really just throw them in
Speaker 1: the deepen. But it's really exciting because it's like the
Speaker 1: stuff that they work so hard towards. And it's more
Speaker 1: exciting because you don't see something like this coming, like
Speaker 1: it just hits you in twenty four hours, and it's
Speaker 1: such an amazing thing that it makes me sad.
Speaker 3: Because it's such a big time in his life.
Speaker 1: And he's signing the papers and you're taking photos and
Speaker 1: you've got your jersey and you take it in front
Speaker 1: of the emblem, and most players are there with their
Speaker 1: partner and their kids and their family, and then Ben
Speaker 1: was just there on his own, and I had this
Speaker 1: real moment where I thought I should be there, Like
Speaker 1: I was really upset that I wasn't there to support
Speaker 1: him in that, and I just all he could get
Speaker 1: from me was a message on the other side of
Speaker 1: the world saying like, I'm proud of you.
Speaker 2: What do you think you will do post the wedding
Speaker 2: because you guys are getting married later this year and
Speaker 2: then you are maintaining long distance.
Speaker 3: For a while.
Speaker 2: But do you have a bit of a plan around
Speaker 2: what you want to do?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: I mean, hey, bosses, Yeah, that was an interesting question to.
Speaker 3: Pose on live radio.
Speaker 1: Laura no, I mean, it's true, we're in long distance.
Speaker 1: I love my job, that's why it's long distance. I
Speaker 1: love radio. But if you ask me the dream, it
Speaker 1: would be to do radio and be able to do
Speaker 1: some records overseas. So that would be the absolute dream.
Speaker 1: To be able to have my cake and eat it too.
Speaker 1: But I guess we just have to say.
Speaker 3: Eight long distance.
Speaker 1: Usually I'm okay with and I managed really well, but.
Speaker 2: So hard when you have big things happening and you
Speaker 2: can't be a part of each other's lives when we
Speaker 2: have some.
Speaker 3: Huge, big moments.
Speaker 1: The same with us when you and I Laura did
Speaker 1: our life on Cut podcast live show, for example, we
Speaker 1: were going on this big tour and he didn't get
Speaker 1: to go to any of that. He didn't get to
Speaker 1: see it. He wasn't there. And you know Matt was
Speaker 1: there with you or the kids were there, Yeah, the kids,
Speaker 1: everyone was there, And I really felt that they're the
Speaker 1: moments I feel so like, I'm so proud of him,
Speaker 1: but I just cry myself to sleep. I'm like, one
Speaker 1: tier is crying that I get to eat pasta, and
Speaker 1: the other tears crying that I didn't get to go there.
Speaker 1: But I'm proud of him, so I just wanted to say,
Speaker 1: you know, when you're so proud of someone, you want
Speaker 1: the whole world to know.
Speaker 3: So I'm really happy for him.
Speaker 2: I'm sure Benn is currently listening to The Pickup, so
Speaker 2: congrats Dad,
