Speaker 1: Brittany is going to be single, but not for much longer. Everyone.
Speaker 1: I feel a little bit apprehensive hows. I'm not a
Speaker 1: party animal. I hate doing shots, and I'm really worried that,
Speaker 1: like someone's gonna make me do a shot. Like that
Speaker 1: makes me sound so sad, But I'm not a shot.
Speaker 1: But I don't know who you're friends with outside of
Speaker 1: the friends that I already know, because all the people
Speaker 1: that I know that are going, no one's going to
Speaker 1: make you do a shot. I'm also pregnant, so I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna be drinking like yeah, you're I mean, apart
Speaker 1: from the really buff stripper that we have planned for you,
Speaker 1: no you don't. Yeah, absolutely our cards stripper that we
Speaker 1: have planned. There's no shots. I don't exactly know what's happening. Like,
Speaker 1: there are quite a lot of people going, and it
Speaker 1: has been organized by a bunch of my friends and
Speaker 1: my sister. But for me, when I think of like
Speaker 1: the perfect hens, this makes me sound so sad. Day lunch,
Speaker 1: So that was mine, that was my hands. A couple
Speaker 1: of drinks, but like tapping out, Maybe go to a spa,
Speaker 1: maybe get we're not doing that. We get a massage,
Speaker 1: has some relax a couple of drinks in the afternoon,
Speaker 1: but then like we are back home, we are chilling
Speaker 1: at like nine thirty. This is the problem when you
Speaker 1: get married when you're in your late thirties, because this
Speaker 1: was this was the problem for me when I got
Speaker 1: married after having two kids. We had a day lunch.
Speaker 1: We went on a rave bus at two o'clock in
Speaker 1: the afternoon for an hour and a half. We were
Speaker 1: home by six and we were drinking tea by nine
Speaker 1: and everyone was in bed. I know we sound lame.
Speaker 1: I get that, we are well aware, but it was
Speaker 1: really fun. Everyone don't kno, get to try it. It
Speaker 1: was fun, but no, I think it's going to be great.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see everyone. And of course I
Speaker 1: am going to have a little party and a little boogie.
Speaker 1: But yeah, let's let's just pray for me to see
Speaker 1: what happens. Only yeah, Monday. Now there is a video
Speaker 1: a TikTok actually that I came across and britt My
Speaker 1: mouth was on the floor. I stopped in my tracks.
Speaker 1: I wish I could play you the audio, but actually
Speaker 1: it was just a really annoying music video that had
Speaker 1: like text overlay. So there's not much to play. Okay,
Speaker 1: not great from like a radio perspective, but hear me
Speaker 1: out and I'll talk you through it. Use your words.
Speaker 1: The girl in it is screaming as well, So really
Speaker 1: visualize that when my boyfriend proposed to me at my
Speaker 1: sister's wedding, Oh, shut up, while she was walking down
Speaker 1: the aisle. No way, that's fake. It's not. No one
Speaker 1: would do that. And no, he didn't ask her first.
Speaker 1: It goes on to say I said yes because we
Speaker 1: have been dating for eight years and I knew if
Speaker 1: I said no, he wouldn't ask me again. Oh, this
Speaker 1: is BS. Do you know what? I read this? And like,
Speaker 1: I don't actually think it's BS, because I went through
Speaker 1: the rest of her TikTok and she did get married
Speaker 1: to this guy, So like I would, I would dare
Speaker 1: say that if you are married and in a relationship,
Speaker 1: it's kind of weird to make up fake content about
Speaker 1: your proposals about your boyfriend who is now your husband.
Speaker 1: He your new husband, does not like your sister. No
Speaker 1: one does that. I think that, Why else would you
Speaker 1: do it. She's halfway down the aisle. It's not at
Speaker 1: the wedding, it's not at the reception, it's not the
Speaker 1: pre drinks like she's on the aisle. Yeah, it's really
Speaker 1: like taking someone else's thunder. Also, if it's your sister,
Speaker 1: why aren't you walking down with her? Whyn't right day? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Maybe they will hate each other. Makes sense that there's
Speaker 1: family beef going on here for sure. No. I read
Speaker 1: this and I was like, Wow, it's very narcissistic because
Speaker 1: you've just taken that one person's special day and you've
Speaker 1: made it about yourself and what it is that you want.
Speaker 1: But also if you think about it and you can
Speaker 1: like cut out the special day part and the narcissism
Speaker 1: and everything else, it is kind of genius. It's so romantic.
Speaker 1: Someone else has paid for it. You didn't have to
Speaker 1: do anything. All the people you love are there? Sorry,
Speaker 1: what part of that is romantic? Stingy? I agree? I agree.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to see it from trying to play
Speaker 1: devil's advocate, and there's no advocate here. There's only a
Speaker 1: devil zero advocacy for this man like that. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I reckon. I'd be like, evacuate my wedding, get out
Speaker 1: of my wedding. I would be off it, oh massively.
Speaker 1: I totally agree. Can I read you some of the
Speaker 1: comments that were underneath this girl? I hope she announces
Speaker 1: her pregnancy at your wedding. Other people like, are you serious?
Speaker 1: I feel so bad for your sister. Another person wrote, girl,
Speaker 1: if he wouldn't ask again because you said no at
Speaker 1: your sister's special day, then are you still with him?
Speaker 1: Which I think is a perfect response. I'm thinking the
Speaker 1: same thing too. If you've been moving for eight years
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, I was just worried you'd never
Speaker 1: ask me again, then like you read the wrong person. Actually,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you with the wrong person. Anyway, he just
Speaker 1: proposed you as your sister was walking down the aisle.
Speaker 1: I agree. And this is the last one, which I
Speaker 1: thought was bang on. Eight years of a relationship and
Speaker 1: the only option to get married that he gives you
Speaker 1: is to ruin your sister's wedding. This man either hates you,
Speaker 1: your family, or the idea of marrying you, or a
Speaker 1: mix of all of these three. I think that they
Speaker 1: maybe got to bang on. Thank God, my sister's already married.
Speaker 1: That's what would you do? What would you do if
Speaker 1: someone propose at your wedding?
Speaker 2: If they want to propose at my wedding, but in
Speaker 2: private at the reception, It's beautiful it's overlooking an ocean
Speaker 2: or whatever, and it's their little moment because they got
Speaker 2: so overtaken by love, then fine. But if you were
Speaker 2: doing it like smack like if you can picture that,
Speaker 2: imagine me in six weeks walking down the aisle and
Speaker 2: then someone walks out in front of me and gets
Speaker 2: on a knee and proposes.
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? I don't know if they proposed
Speaker 1: on the aisle or whether it would have just been
Speaker 1: like saying it to the person next to you. Do
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? But the thing is is,
Speaker 1: even if you say, look, if they want to do
Speaker 1: it in private at my wedding, I don't care. I
Speaker 1: still think most people would care because then it means
Speaker 1: they can't tell anyone. Don't you dare speak about the
Speaker 1: fact that you just got engaged when the day is
Speaker 1: not about you, like, because by doing that, it'll spread
Speaker 1: like wildfire through the wedding. Everyone will know, and then
Speaker 1: the day becomes about something else, and that I think
Speaker 1: is unfair. I do know somebody that got engaged at
Speaker 1: a wedding. It was at the wedding, but private, overwhelmed
Speaker 1: with love, that was the time, but it wasn't stealing
Speaker 1: anything though, but it was the location. Ah, I'm not
Speaker 1: sure about it, guys, I think we all have feelings anyway. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about a new sport
Speaker 1: that I have discovered online. And we're calling this segment
Speaker 1: down the rabbit Hole. It's where you like, find something
Speaker 1: super niche online and you just end up down the
Speaker 1: rabbit hole. You need to know everything about it. I
Speaker 1: have done that. Then the algorithm spits it out and
Speaker 1: you just can't stop. It's like you see one once
Speaker 1: you thought it was a little bit interesting, and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's eleven o'clock at night. You've been
Speaker 1: there for forty five minutes. Now I feel terrible because
Speaker 1: it makes me laugh a ludicrous amount, Like I shouldn't
Speaker 1: be laughing this much. It's actually quite impressive. Have you
Speaker 1: heard of hobby horsing? Yeah, you don't even have to
Speaker 1: ask me, because you know I've been down that right
Speaker 1: while with you. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So, if you guys are in the car listening now,
Speaker 2: you don't know what hobby horsing is. It's a sport
Speaker 2: that generally speaking, adults aren't doing like it seems to
Speaker 2: be teenagers and younger, and it is horse jumping and
Speaker 2: horse parading a horse.
Speaker 1: Show without the horse, but there's no horse.
Speaker 2: So it's in fact like think of when you're a
Speaker 2: kid and you get those broomstick horses, Like where there's
Speaker 2: a broomstick there's got the horse head on it and
Speaker 2: had a rain and you would walk it around. Well,
Speaker 2: what they're doing is they're getting their horse and it's
Speaker 2: a competition where there's proper horse jumping. You have to
Speaker 2: parade it around, jump through all the what I don't
Speaker 2: know what they're call but you know where horse jumping
Speaker 2: has the two poles and the different heights.
Speaker 1: It's got to take Jim Canna. I've never horse, so
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I think that the jumps are
Speaker 1: just called jumps, but I might be wrong. I'm also
Speaker 1: not a harsey person, so I don't know. So you
Speaker 1: sort of need to see this to believe it. But
Speaker 1: it's taken like a weird turn. Okay, I don't even
Speaker 1: know how to say it, and I feel guilty. It's
Speaker 1: not just show jumping.
Speaker 2: They start to treat their horse like it's a real horse.
Speaker 2: They have like places for it to live, They have
Speaker 2: saddles that they clean, and they like brush its hair,
Speaker 2: and they take it to the beach and they film themselves,
Speaker 2: like letting it run free on the beach.
Speaker 1: They like film the moment that they take it off.
Speaker 1: I don't get it. I just don't get it. I
Speaker 1: want to also, I want to. I've also seen a
Speaker 1: lot of this, and what I've taken from this is
Speaker 1: that the people who take hobby horsing very seriously on
Speaker 1: social media and I'm almost scared to talk about it
Speaker 1: for fear of falling into their wrath, are people who
Speaker 1: also really want a horse. So they really desperately want
Speaker 1: a horse. Horses are expensive, they're high maintenance, like you've
Speaker 1: got to have all of the stuff right to have
Speaker 1: a horse. A lot of people can't do it, and
Speaker 1: so it's like the next best option. So these people
Speaker 1: who are doing the competitions, like they're young girls or
Speaker 1: young boys and they're running around jumping over the jumps
Speaker 1: themselves with their stick horse and the same as it's
Speaker 1: like exactly the same as dressage. If you went to
Speaker 1: watch dressage at the Olympics, you'd think you're watching that,
Speaker 1: but there's no horse. But there is an aspect where
Speaker 1: I'm like, you guys are actually really incredible athletes. Like
Speaker 1: they run as fast as they can on their horse.
Speaker 1: They jump as high as they can. It's like they're
Speaker 1: doing high jump. What is the highest jump We've got
Speaker 1: their grace on record for hobby horse. Here the highest
Speaker 1: recorded hobby horse jump. Yeah, one point four one meters.
Speaker 2: That's a big jump on two feet to run with
Speaker 2: a stick between your legs and jump one point four meters, Like,
Speaker 2: if you google it, it is impressive, But it's just
Speaker 2: hard to look past the fake horse for me. Like,
Speaker 2: I'm impressed by them, and I love their dedication. They
Speaker 2: train in their backyards, they have proper like dressage training,
Speaker 2: and I think you're wrong.
Speaker 1: You said it's only for teenagers and young girls. Here's
Speaker 1: one for you and Emma.
Speaker 3: I begun hobbyhole saying when I was thirteen I'm now
Speaker 3: forty seven. For friendships are strong. Just always surrounded by women. Obviously,
Speaker 3: this is my main horse. My really, as I say
Speaker 3: in america' my ride I die.
Speaker 1: This is grandmother.
Speaker 3: My name chapter my grandmother. It is a real competitive sport,
Speaker 3: like any other sport. They are bawling rollerblating football. Some
Speaker 3: people try to understand. I try to explain to the Americans.
Speaker 3: I am Themichael Jordan of Finland as far as competitive horbyhossing,
Speaker 3: Michael Jordan, we're.
Speaker 1: Gonna put that video up on the pickup because you
Speaker 1: do need to see it. You need to see it
Speaker 1: to understand. I feel like we're not making fun of me.
Speaker 1: I don't know, we're not. It is a sport. It's
Speaker 1: people's lives. I love it. I encourage it. They are outdoors,
Speaker 1: they're athletic. I love it for them. I don't understand
Speaker 1: that it's impressive. It's competitive, and I'm not going to
Speaker 1: take anything away from that. However, I do have a question.
Speaker 1: At what point did it turn from just a group
Speaker 1: of people who really wanted a horse, couldn't have one,
Speaker 1: so then they got a bit fixated with their stick horse.
Speaker 1: Why does that turned into a sport? Why aren't there
Speaker 1: people walking their toy dogs on a leash walking down
Speaker 1: the street. That's the way anything turns into a sport,
Speaker 1: Like I understand that, literally, Like, what's that sport where
Speaker 1: it's in the Olympics and you have to run and
Speaker 1: scrub the ice so that the puck curl and curling?
Speaker 1: Like we're sorry, who thought that that was a good idea, Like,
Speaker 1: it's just the way people have a pastime things popularity
Speaker 1: it becomes a sport. Do you think people get into
Speaker 1: these niche sports because they find a way to be
Speaker 1: really good at it because there's only like three people
Speaker 1: in the country that play it. What's the niche of
Speaker 1: sport you ever tried? Ah, I got a niche sports
Speaker 1: person water polo. It wasn't me. I tried to do
Speaker 1: some most random stuff. I wanted to be a fencer,
Speaker 1: so I started fencing. I wanted then I wanted to
Speaker 1: do clay shooting, but we are allowed to have guns,
Speaker 1: Like that was the whole thing I wanted to do,
Speaker 1: Like all the random left field sports. Do you know
Speaker 1: what I'm getting from this? Which is grass? I'm getting
Speaker 1: from this that like, because Brits made it very clear
Speaker 1: she doesn't want to tease the hobby horses, she spent
Speaker 1: a lot of time. I'm on this. What would you
Speaker 1: do if I bought you one? I reckon watch this
Speaker 1: space ten years. Hobby horsing will be at the Olympics twenty
Speaker 1: years maybe. Wow. All right, Britt, I know we've just
Speaker 1: gone from hobby horsing to cats being stolen, but it's
Speaker 1: been a real journey this show. Let me tell you, Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's happened to you? No, my cat hasn't been stolen.
Speaker 1: I have a cat named Raspberry. As much to my
Speaker 1: husband's dismay, because I'm sure he'd love the cat to
Speaker 1: be stolen. He's not a fan. The cat still lives
Speaker 1: with us. But it did get me thinking because there
Speaker 1: is a woman who is in Zurich and she's currently
Speaker 1: in courts at the moment for feeding her neighbour's cat.
Speaker 1: Now hear me out. She's sixty eight years old. She
Speaker 1: intentionally installed a cat flap on her door so that Leo,
Speaker 1: the neighbor's cat could just pop over any time that
Speaker 1: the cat liked. Well, what's wrong with this story? This
Speaker 1: sounds wholesome. Well, the people who are the rightful owners
Speaker 1: of the cat put in a complaint asked this lovely
Speaker 1: old lady to stop feeding the cat. She refused. She
Speaker 1: kept feeding the cat. The problem is, ten months later,
Speaker 1: Leo the cat no longer wants to go home. It
Speaker 1: wants to live with the feeder smile, And so they've
Speaker 1: taken her to court and it's currently going through the
Speaker 1: court systems and it's called systematically feeding a cat that
Speaker 1: is not yours, so that cannot be a law that
Speaker 1: is not real. So it's a criminal offense in Switzerland.
Speaker 1: I don't know whether it's a criminal offense in Australia.
Speaker 1: But let me tell you, I have a lovely neighbor.
Speaker 1: She's so so sweet. She lives on her own and
Speaker 1: we have a cat, and our cat sometimes during the
Speaker 1: day just disappears for long periods of time. I know
Speaker 1: she only kind of goes in our yard or the
Speaker 1: neighbor's yard, like she's not a wandering cat, because she's
Speaker 1: quite timid and scared of literally everything. But some days gone, disappeared, vanished,
Speaker 1: and I'm pretty certain she's inside my neighbor's house because
Speaker 1: my kids were talking to my neighbor the other day
Speaker 1: and she was talking about how much she loves having
Speaker 1: the cat over, and You're like, when do you have
Speaker 1: the cat? I was like, what do you mean? The
Speaker 1: cat doesn't come over anyway. Molly came inside and she
Speaker 1: was like, Mom, I reckon, Raspberry's been living at Ronda's house.
Speaker 1: Do you reckon? She mope, okay, worst case, I don't mind.
Speaker 1: I think we'rend would treat it well. I think not.
Speaker 1: I think she probably has a good life there. Maybe
Speaker 1: Franzbury should move in with Rhonda. No, I love my cat.
Speaker 1: I don't want her to move in, but I also
Speaker 1: want her to know that there's many forms of love
Speaker 1: and she can get it from the neighbor as well.
Speaker 1: She want to know, Okay, hang on. I had a
Speaker 1: border Collie called Mia, love of my life. I was
Speaker 1: about twenty three years old, and she was getting fatter
Speaker 1: and fatter, and she was only about four years old,
Speaker 1: and you knew it wasn't coming from her. I knew
Speaker 1: what I was feeding her, and I would leave her
Speaker 1: in the day in the morning, come home in the afternoon.
Speaker 1: She was there to greet me. And I was like,
Speaker 1: this is a real problem, and I know there are
Speaker 1: some diseases that she could have that made to put
Speaker 1: on weight.
Speaker 2: So I took her to the vet, had the vet
Speaker 2: check her out, and the vet was like, she's not
Speaker 2: coming back with anything, but they were like, you need
Speaker 2: to stop feeding her. I was like, I'm barely feeding her,
Speaker 2: like she's on the strictest diet to lose weight, and
Speaker 2: she was getting bigger and bigger.
Speaker 1: We ended up having to install cameras. What she was
Speaker 1: doing my border Collie, which she would jump up onto
Speaker 1: the bins outside, jump over the fence, a big fence
Speaker 1: to the ground outside, walk down into the street to
Speaker 1: the retirement village, spend the day at the retirement village.
Speaker 1: The hold a whole roast chickens.
Speaker 2: Every single retirement village person Newa would feed her and
Speaker 2: I ended up figuring it out.
Speaker 1: They were like, oh, she's been coming every day for
Speaker 1: a year. Then she would bring herself home, sneak back
Speaker 1: in the back like nothing ever happened. That's really sad though,
Speaker 1: because then if you stop her from going, all of
Speaker 1: those old people who love seeing their dog, their dog
Speaker 1: who visited them every day, they're one piece of joy
Speaker 1: that it brings them. I said she could still come.
Speaker 1: She used to visit, but I said, you guys can't
Speaker 1: feed her anymore. They yeah, they stopped feeding up, but
Speaker 1: Mia still went down to visit.
Speaker 2: She made their day. But I was like, you can't
Speaker 2: give a roast chickens. They were giving a whole chicken.
Speaker 1: I also think in this instance, like if you've got
Speaker 1: an issue with your cat going to the neighbor's house,
Speaker 1: keep a cat inside, Like the plan is simple I
Speaker 1: know that. Like, I don't understand how this couple and
Speaker 1: this cat and this old woman ended up in court
Speaker 1: in Zurich. I'm like, surely, if the issue is is
Speaker 1: that your cat is leaving your apartment and going in
Speaker 1: the cat flap door that your neighbor installed, just don't
Speaker 1: let it out Like that makes no sense to me.
Speaker 1: I'm not against it. I think it's fine, but I'm
Speaker 1: sure that there are other people who have had far
Speaker 1: worse versions of this. I just think my cat is
Speaker 1: happily being co parented at the moment, and she's living
Speaker 1: a great life. Let her live her best life with Ruth. Ruth,
Speaker 1: all right, guys, Look that is it from us,
