Speaker 1: This is the pickup. Happy Friday, everyone, Hope everyone's had
Speaker 1: a good school holidays. It's the pickup with Brett Hockey
Speaker 1: and Laura Burn.
Speaker 2: I want to quickly tell you something because I'm fascinated
Speaker 2: by it, but I know you're not gonna let me
Speaker 2: talk about it in the show.
Speaker 1: What You're not allowed to laugh and say ha ha ha,
Speaker 1: you're gonna hate this just before we come on air
Speaker 1: and then start talking about something we have not prepped.
Speaker 2: You don't need to prep it. I just want to say,
Speaker 2: for the first time in one hundred and sixteen years,
Speaker 2: Oh god, am I six?
Speaker 1: Do you know that?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Okay, it's like the leading spy agency in the world.
Speaker 2: It's like the FBI and I six. It's like what
Speaker 2: James Bond is based on. Like it's like a super spy.
Speaker 1: How do you even know this?
Speaker 2: And why don't I because I used to want to.
Speaker 1: Be a spy. I six, Okay, great, well recur Ever.
Speaker 2: The head of the secret spy agency is a woman
Speaker 2: the first time in one hundred and sixteen is I
Speaker 2: think that's really really cool.
Speaker 1: Why do you say I'm gonna hate.
Speaker 2: This because I don't think you want to talk to
Speaker 2: me about spies. I mean, I don't not about the
Speaker 2: women leading it. But I was like, Laura's not going
Speaker 2: to care about I six.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't particularly care about spies, but I
Speaker 1: do care about women in power.
Speaker 2: Great, it's British intelligence, so maybe they'll be more intelligent
Speaker 2: to me.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, when you said you had something
Speaker 1: to talk about at the start of the show, that
Speaker 1: was not what I was thinking. But I'm here for it.
Speaker 2: It's such a flex imagine being able to say that,
Speaker 2: but you can't say it because you're a spy, like
Speaker 2: you can't tell anyone. But she actually has just been name.
Speaker 4: There's a couple Laura online at the moment going viral
Speaker 4: for the funniest story.
Speaker 2: So this couple's friend like his college friend.
Speaker 4: They were catching up and he'd just gotten engaged, and
Speaker 4: he was talking about his wedding to them.
Speaker 2: He said, I'm getting married next year.
Speaker 4: It's going to be like so small and intimate and special.
Speaker 4: And that was the conversation, just like a really private conversation.
Speaker 4: The couple then received a save the date for the
Speaker 4: following year, and it was international.
Speaker 2: It was like over in Argentina.
Speaker 4: So they do what most people would do for an
Speaker 4: international wedding, and they lock in the flights and the
Speaker 4: accommodation and you know, it was fifteen hundred dollar flights,
Speaker 4: three thousand dollars of accommodation.
Speaker 1: Also, yeah, when it's an international wedding, those save the
Speaker 1: dates are way more important because you've got to actually
Speaker 1: block out time for work, and you've got to book
Speaker 1: the flights on a decent amount of money and blah
Speaker 1: blah blah.
Speaker 2: Oh, he had to be so organized. So they organized
Speaker 2: the whole thing because they've been friends forever and they've
Speaker 2: got to save the date. And he told them to
Speaker 2: their face, you know, small, intimate wedding.
Speaker 4: So they book the same hotel as the groom and
Speaker 4: bride and the bridal party because they thought that would
Speaker 4: be easier. So all the family and everywhere at this
Speaker 4: one hotel.
Speaker 1: So they booked.
Speaker 2: That time goes past and they haven't received any updates,
Speaker 2: and it's like a couple of days before they're flying
Speaker 2: out and they're still looking for updates. Then that's when
Speaker 2: it clicks to them. They're like, hang on, we actually
Speaker 2: never got an invite. They turned up to the wedding uninvited.
Speaker 2: So they well, okay, this is where it gets the
Speaker 2: actually go.
Speaker 1: To the wedding. They just on holiday.
Speaker 2: So they stand up to the hotel. They can't change it.
Speaker 2: They're locked in.
Speaker 4: They don't want to waste their money and not go,
Speaker 4: but they're too embarrassed to tell them what happened. So
Speaker 4: they go to the wedding and then just find out
Speaker 4: their schedule and just do everything around their schedule. So
Speaker 4: they're like spies hiding at the wedding. Like so when
Speaker 4: they see them go to the pool, they would go
Speaker 4: and book a spa. When they see them going to
Speaker 4: get massages, they would go out for the day.
Speaker 1: And get whatever it is.
Speaker 2: And they avoided the whole bridal party.
Speaker 1: So they never knew that they were there. Imagine finding
Speaker 1: out that two of your best friends were at the
Speaker 1: same hotel. Where your wedding was being held, surely because
Speaker 1: you sent them a save the date and then uninvited.
Speaker 4: But I you know what, I can see how that happens.
Speaker 4: I think if you've sent a save the date, that
Speaker 4: is as good as an invitation. If you're uninviting someone,
Speaker 4: you need to uninvite them. You can't just not follow
Speaker 4: through with an invitation and think that that's good enough.
Speaker 1: Right, right, Laura, did you do this not to this
Speaker 1: note because we didn't have a destination wedding also, but
Speaker 1: did yourself? Yes, technically, but on a technicality slightly different.
Speaker 1: So my husband and I we were originally going to
Speaker 1: get married towards the start of COVID, and then COVID
Speaker 1: hit and everything kind of went a bit screw loose.
Speaker 1: So we sent out save the dates to our family
Speaker 1: and friends, and then the date changed because you know,
Speaker 1: COVID hit and we decided to postpone it. So we
Speaker 1: actually didn't get married for two and a half years
Speaker 1: after our original wedding date that was set, or two
Speaker 1: years or something like that. That's a long time, a
Speaker 1: long time, a long time. So we'd sent out save
Speaker 1: the dates. Then our second wedding day we also then
Speaker 1: sent out saying, oh, that date's been changed, like, hold tight,
Speaker 1: we'll have more details for you. Two years later, there
Speaker 1: were some people who we sent Save the dates to
Speaker 1: on that original mailing list, and let me tell you,
Speaker 1: we had not heard from them. I had not heard
Speaker 1: from them, neither had Matt. We'd barely spoken to them
Speaker 1: in that time, and so I kind of just assumed
Speaker 1: if we haven't spoken in two years, surely they don't
Speaker 1: expect to get another Save the Day.
Speaker 4: So you didn't uninvite them. I just didn't send another
Speaker 4: Save the Day. I just didn't tell them when the
Speaker 4: new wedding was. But did they contact you in any capacity?
Speaker 1: One person did?
Speaker 3: One?
Speaker 1: One of them said, hey, honey, I haven't received the
Speaker 1: invitation yet.
Speaker 2: What did you say?
Speaker 1: Do you fake it?
Speaker 2: Or say because you're not invited?
Speaker 1: I then invited them under duress.
Speaker 2: What else are you going to do?
Speaker 1: So a bad that actually didn't come. Oh they didn't come.
Speaker 2: Because they've probably heard you say I'm panicing. No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: I think it was because by then, like the wedding
Speaker 1: was actually just a couple of weeks away, like it
Speaker 1: was very evident. It was just so awkward looking back now.
Speaker 1: It was so awkward. I didn't know what to do.
Speaker 1: I didn't want to write them and say, hey, I
Speaker 1: have not heard from you for two years and I've
Speaker 1: had a baby and you just kind of vanished from
Speaker 1: my life. So I didn't think you'd want to come
Speaker 1: to my wedding. I didn't want to send that there
Speaker 1: was a bit of passive aggressiveness loaded into that. So
Speaker 1: instead I just sent them an invite and said, so sorry, honey,
Speaker 1: if you haven't received it, you can read.
Speaker 2: Between the lines. If you're getting an invitation three weeks
Speaker 2: out of a wedding, you're like the last person on
Speaker 2: the list.
Speaker 1: Something's gone wrong. Don't get me wrong, though, I don't
Speaker 1: think it's a smart move. If you've sent out save
Speaker 1: the dates, don't be a coward like I am. At
Speaker 1: least tell people if they're not invited to the real wedding,
Speaker 1: especially if they're trying to go to an overseas wedding.
Speaker 1: I would love to know. Do you share an office
Speaker 1: or a communal kitchen space where you've got to put
Speaker 1: your lunch in a shared fridge? And if so, is
Speaker 1: there some fridge politics that goes on in your workplace?
Speaker 2: Because there'd been no workplace without fridge politics.
Speaker 1: And I know what happens, right, you put your little
Speaker 1: yoga in there, your little yogurt satchel. Someone comes up
Speaker 1: and takes it, and then it's lunchtime and you're looking
Speaker 1: around you can't find your yogurt. We used to have
Speaker 1: a kitchen thief here. We used to have someone who
Speaker 1: would always go in and steal things from the fridge.
Speaker 1: Iven while though things could be perfectly labeled with a name,
Speaker 1: it could be your lunch. So you brought in that
Speaker 1: your mum had made you in the mornings, packed you
Speaker 1: perfectly in a brown paper bag, go to go and
Speaker 1: get it, and half it would be eaten. I think
Speaker 1: most officers have one of these people who feel like
Speaker 1: it's okay to help themselves to other people's lunches. And
Speaker 1: there is a man who has been speaking about this online.
Speaker 1: Now he had his lunch stolen five times at his work.
Speaker 1: Imagine bringing a pack Sagely's so shitty. It's absolutely bizarre, Okay.
Speaker 2: Because so if it's a good lunch, you think about
Speaker 2: it all day and.
Speaker 1: I passed and you open it up and some gorn. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Some colleagues has helped himself to half a serve, so
Speaker 1: five times he had his lunch stolen. And then he
Speaker 1: decided that instead of like you know, enacting revenge, instead
Speaker 1: of having like you know, making a big deal about it,
Speaker 1: he just brought in a little, a little tiny minifridge
Speaker 1: that he put under his desk, and he started putting
Speaker 1: his lunch into his own minifridge where no one could access.
Speaker 1: And unfortunately that had him labeled as the office wido
Speaker 1: because he was so protective over his own lunch. But
Speaker 1: this is the drastic measures that he had to take.
Speaker 2: It's not that drastic. I'm definitely team him.
Speaker 3: I was.
Speaker 2: I thought, you're going to say, got stolen out of
Speaker 2: his minifridge.
Speaker 1: You might have to lock that or since then, he's
Speaker 1: had no more stolen lunches.
Speaker 2: Do you know this is so disgusting. I haven't thought
Speaker 2: about this in years.
Speaker 4: I was working in a hospital, won't say where, and
Speaker 4: there was somebody that worked there that was convinced people
Speaker 4: was taking his lunch. But I don't know why, because
Speaker 4: no one, for all accounts that we can remember, no
Speaker 4: one took his lunch. Right, he was so paranoy that
Speaker 4: someone would take his lunch that he would bring in
Speaker 4: a dead rat.
Speaker 1: No, that's not real.
Speaker 2: I saw it. It was my work. He put a
Speaker 2: dead rat on top of his lunch box to deter
Speaker 2: people from wanting to open it. And let me tell you,
Speaker 2: not only did it deter people.
Speaker 1: He got fired.
Speaker 2: It's like that's an olagan ass thing. You can't put
Speaker 2: a dead animal.
Speaker 1: Was he working in like a lab or something like
Speaker 1: a science lab, so we had access to dead rats
Speaker 1: because like, I don't know, where's someone who works in
Speaker 1: a hospital finding a dead rat to put on their lunch.
Speaker 2: She brought it from home.
Speaker 3: I'm not kidding.
Speaker 2: I wish I was kidding, I'm actually not. And he
Speaker 2: was obviously not well and he got We didn't get
Speaker 2: made redundant.
Speaker 1: We've heard some toll from safety. It's just such a
Speaker 1: tall tale that I feel like that person's gone too
Speaker 1: far here. We are talking about a mini bar and
Speaker 1: you're like, I've can one up that story. I did
Speaker 1: tell you we brought a dead rat in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did tell you. It was bad, and I
Speaker 2: wish I was lying, but I wasn't. I reckon.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of stories, probably not to that level,
Speaker 4: but there's a lot of crazy lunch stories for sure.
Speaker 1: When I used to work as a graphic designer many
Speaker 1: many moons ago, we had same thing communal fridge, and
Speaker 1: one of the girls I worked with always brought in
Speaker 1: boiled eggs. Like she would bring boiled eggs in and
Speaker 1: put them in the top of the fridge compartment like thereuse,
Speaker 1: no one's bringing in raw eggs to an office fridge, right,
Speaker 1: And so someone kept on stealing and helping themselves to
Speaker 1: her boiled eggs. So she'd go there, there'd be three,
Speaker 1: the next day there'd be one. Anyway, she decided to
Speaker 1: bring in a couple non boiled eggs, just like fresh
Speaker 1: eggs and put them in the boiled egg little compartment,
Speaker 1: and she soon found out who the person was that
Speaker 1: was stealing the eggs because they were taking them to
Speaker 1: their desk, cracking them, and then doing it in their bin.
Speaker 1: So like anyway, they took a fresh egg to their
Speaker 1: desk and cracked it on table, and everyone knew who
Speaker 1: the culprit was.
Speaker 2: Let us know, if you have a story that can
Speaker 2: one up either.
Speaker 1: The rat all that, well, I feel like the rat one.
Speaker 1: No one's going to be able to one up brit
Speaker 1: because that's just psychotic.
Speaker 2: I also hope no one can one up that.
