Speaker 1: Are you ready?
Speaker 2: Good pick up with Britt Hockley and Laura.
Speaker 1: Burn Radio work Our windows done, my world reason the
Speaker 1: dust only good zabsas all.
Speaker 3: I don't much, but yeah I'm.
Speaker 4: Not our big get and what I want it don't
Speaker 4: matter where does This is the pickup?
Speaker 1: Hi, guys, it's the pickout with Britt Hockley and Laura Burn. Britt,
Speaker 1: I have a big, hard hitting question.
Speaker 2: For you, kid me hard.
Speaker 1: I are you when it comes to avocados, right or
Speaker 1: I love an avo?
Speaker 3: Like I said, big heart hitting questions.
Speaker 1: Do you prefer a hass avocado or a Shepherd avocado?
Speaker 2: The Shepherd's the rock hard one.
Speaker 3: Hey, it doesn't have to be.
Speaker 5: One of them is ninety nine point nine nine percent
Speaker 5: of the time, okay, rock solid.
Speaker 1: So the difference is the Hass avocado is the dark
Speaker 1: one that's kind of more round and has that real
Speaker 1: like dimply skin hard on flora green and the other
Speaker 1: one is bright green all the time.
Speaker 3: It has a really thin skin.
Speaker 2: That's a shit one's wrong.
Speaker 3: Disagree you ever?
Speaker 5: Ribe you can never eat them. It's like rock hard
Speaker 5: for weeks and then you get about a twenty minute
Speaker 5: life span.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh you missed it. I'm gone.
Speaker 1: I feel so deeply different about this, and I know
Speaker 1: that I'm in the minority. I know most people like
Speaker 1: a hass avocado, but I was reading about it today
Speaker 1: that the debate has come back, and I would say
Speaker 1: that a hass is misleading because you think it's ripe
Speaker 1: and you cut it open, it's full of brown spots.
Speaker 3: That never happens with a Shepherd avocar. That shepherd avocar, No,
Speaker 3: that shepherd avocado.
Speaker 2: So that means you're not testing them properly.
Speaker 3: You know what the test is.
Speaker 1: You got to push the little stalk down and if
Speaker 1: it pushes in easily with a little tiny bit of resistance, you.
Speaker 2: Just need a bitter resistance. Don't push the stalk in.
Speaker 5: You're the monster ruining all the avocados and the supermarket,
Speaker 5: you all the monster making them brown.
Speaker 1: I am one hundred percent team Shepherd, and if anyone
Speaker 1: wants to join me, we can wave that flag together.
Speaker 5: So why there's always so many Shepherd avocados free and
Speaker 5: available because no one wants them.
Speaker 3: I'll take them all.
Speaker 1: On the weekend, I was scrolling TikTok and I came
Speaker 1: across an into between a reporter and Ilaria Baldwin and
Speaker 1: Alec Baldwin. Now, I'm sure so many of you are
Speaker 1: familiar Hilaria.
Speaker 3: She's the one.
Speaker 1: Who originally kind of came into the spotlight and was
Speaker 1: quite controversial because she was saying that she didn't know
Speaker 1: the name for the word cucumber because she was Spanish
Speaker 1: and she couldn't remember the word. And then she was
Speaker 1: called out very publicly because actually she's born in Boston
Speaker 1: and isn't.
Speaker 3: Spanish at all.
Speaker 1: Anyway, her and Alec have seven children together, and they
Speaker 1: have brought out this documentary following their life surrounding the
Speaker 1: court case where he was embroiled.
Speaker 2: In what was it that he was embroiled?
Speaker 5: He shot someone on set accidentally, Yeah, but he killed them.
Speaker 1: It was because the prop gun had actual bullets in it.
Speaker 1: Like it's a crazy story. It's crazy. So this reality
Speaker 1: TV that's based around their lives. They're being interviewed about
Speaker 1: it on the Red carpet and the way Ilaria speaks
Speaker 1: to Alec, I was left with my mouth on the floor.
Speaker 3: Have listened to this? Do you want more of this
Speaker 3: season two.
Speaker 6: Show?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 6: Now I think we're gonna see you know, it's we're
Speaker 6: going to see how it feels to have it'd be
Speaker 6: out there.
Speaker 2: You're a winner. Oh my god, when I'm talking, you're
Speaker 2: not talking. No, when I'm talking, you're not talking.
Speaker 3: This is why.
Speaker 6: Yes, we'll have to like just pat him out of
Speaker 6: the shop.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 5: It makes me I want to throw a chopstick at her.
Speaker 1: Although every time I do listen to it, I'm like,
Speaker 1: he did interrupt her twice.
Speaker 5: Yes, but he was interrupting her like trying to be
Speaker 5: a positive. But he's like, you're the best, honey, Yeah
Speaker 5: you've got this, Yeah you can do season two. He's
Speaker 5: been like a really like supportive husband. Yes, he interrupted her,
Speaker 5: but it's his show too, it's not just her show.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I saw it, and you should see his face afterwards,
Speaker 1: Like he looks absolutely downtrodden. I hate the narrative that
Speaker 1: like at the moment that's going around that she's kind of,
Speaker 1: you know, like the evil wife that's contrived this whole situation.
Speaker 1: There is like a real hate campaign around it. But
Speaker 1: she is not doing herself any favors with this type
Speaker 1: of just like the way that she speaks to him. Now,
Speaker 1: they came out and they did what was like an
Speaker 1: explanation video around why it happened, and Alec in the
Speaker 1: original video. We'll put it on Instagram so you guys
Speaker 1: can see. It's the pickup. But Alec has also joined
Speaker 1: her in this explanation video. Have listened to this piece
Speaker 1: of audeo.
Speaker 6: And that is called what's the word of the day, interrupting, interrupting,
Speaker 6: which could be.
Speaker 2: Correct our dysfunction.
Speaker 6: I think that's one of our children trying to get
Speaker 6: into the room. The whole point is that we interrupt
Speaker 6: each other all the time.
Speaker 3: Man interrupting and correct our dysfunction.
Speaker 5: I actually love the term correct our dysfunction. I think
Speaker 5: that's very funny. I'll give her a point for that.
Speaker 5: I don't know if she came up with that a trademark.
Speaker 3: Correct our dysfunction. B.
Speaker 1: When a man is correcting a woman and it's not
Speaker 1: their place too, or they're doing they shouldn't be doing
Speaker 1: it because it's not the correct thing to do anyway.
Speaker 2: Like, yes, I think the video was supposed to be
Speaker 2: a bit of a parody.
Speaker 5: I think it was supposed to be like a let's
Speaker 5: laugh this situation off, let's have a united front. They
Speaker 5: kiss at the end, it's all very awkward and uncomfortable
Speaker 5: to watch. I don't think it lands. I think it
Speaker 5: makes a situation even worse for both of them. But
Speaker 5: I think that the reason you said there's a lot
Speaker 5: of hate surrounding it at the moment, Laura. We've spoken
Speaker 5: about it before with Megan Markle. I think it comes
Speaker 5: down to this confirmation bias where we've already decided we
Speaker 5: don't like something or someone from something they've done in
Speaker 5: the past, and then we look for any reason to
Speaker 5: be able to double down on that hate.
Speaker 3: And that's why it.
Speaker 1: Goes viral, right, Like a pace of content like that
Speaker 1: probably could have gone under, could have gone without people
Speaker 1: really paying any attention to it.
Speaker 3: But because people already want.
Speaker 1: To dislike her, that reinforces the reasons why we don't.
Speaker 1: But I do have to say I feel like they
Speaker 1: are not doing themselves any favors. I understand that, like
Speaker 1: this must be a really heightened emotional time going through
Speaker 1: this court case and everything, but I don't understand why
Speaker 1: they need to make a reality TV show out of it,
Speaker 1: Like surely they just puts.
Speaker 3: More pressure on them as a family.
Speaker 5: But it just makes me think, like, where are we
Speaker 5: at in society and a generation if you have taken
Speaker 5: a life. Obviously this wasn't intentional, but then your response
Speaker 5: to that as you go to trial is like, hey,
Speaker 5: what are we going to do with this? How are
Speaker 5: we going to combat this? I know, let's make a
Speaker 5: reality TV show? Like coming up with a reality TV
Speaker 5: show off the back of that whole situation.
Speaker 2: To me, I mean, it's another conversation.
Speaker 3: I just think I think fascinating.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's fascinating. I think they're idiots. I do,
Speaker 2: I do, I do.
Speaker 5: On the weekend, Laura, I went down to visit your
Speaker 5: brand new jewelry store, Tony May, because you have opened
Speaker 5: up a store that's quite close to me, and I
Speaker 5: was like, ah, I'm going to go support my friend.
Speaker 3: We did.
Speaker 1: I wasn't even there for the opening, and then you
Speaker 1: posted photos from it and I was away on the
Speaker 1: weekend and we did like a soft opening. I didn't
Speaker 1: know it was soft, and Britt Hard launched it to
Speaker 1: all of her followers.
Speaker 3: Well, I thought, kip it.
Speaker 2: No, I'm sorry, I told you. I told you I
Speaker 2: was going to get down the weekend.
Speaker 5: No one told me it was supposed to be not
Speaker 5: a launch yet. So I was like, I'm going to
Speaker 5: go hard and support my friend and put on socials.
Speaker 3: I'm not complaining. Please go down and check it out.
Speaker 2: Go there is someone that I didn't support.
Speaker 5: So I accidentally broke the girl code and I outed
Speaker 5: one of your customers.
Speaker 3: To who in what way?
Speaker 2: Let me try and explain this.
Speaker 5: So I took Delilah, like my beautiful Aussie shepherd dog.
Speaker 2: She comes everywhere with me. So I took her down
Speaker 2: to the store.
Speaker 1: Thank god, we have polished concrete floors in that Shopey well, I.
Speaker 5: Mean sorry, if it was velvet carpet, I probably wouldn't
Speaker 5: have taken her in. It was polish concrete. So I
Speaker 5: tied her up on the front door and she just
Speaker 5: sat there looking beautiful, and she's so esthetically pleasing.
Speaker 2: I think I actually brought some customers into the store.
Speaker 5: To be fair, everyone want to stop and pat her,
Speaker 5: people taking photos of her, people taking photos with her,
Speaker 5: like customers, you know, they were coming in, and then
Speaker 5: they just they thought she was the store dog. They
Speaker 5: were like, what a great idea to have a store dog.
Speaker 5: And I was like, she's actually.
Speaker 1: Not, Like I'm taking her home with me anytime you
Speaker 1: want to just bring her in and leave her at
Speaker 1: the front. We'll tie her up and put a little
Speaker 1: sign to her. Yeah, twenty percent of jewels come on.
Speaker 2: In, so anyway, everyone's taking photos whatever.
Speaker 5: I did a bit of shopping in there for about
Speaker 5: twenty minutes, and I kept walking around the stores having
Speaker 5: a little peruse. And about ten fifteen minutes later, I
Speaker 5: was walking up the street and on the street of
Speaker 5: this cafe there was the guy that looked like maybe
Speaker 5: he owned the restaurant. He looks like he was running it,
Speaker 5: at least a manager, and it was very busy, and
Speaker 5: he saw me coming and he ran out the front.
Speaker 2: He goes, wait, He's like, were you just down the
Speaker 2: road in.
Speaker 5: General Pants Co? And I said no, sorry, I wasn't.
Speaker 5: He's like, are you sure and I said no, I'm
Speaker 5: pretty sure. He's like, oh, I swear to god you
Speaker 5: were at General Pants. And I was like, no, probably
Speaker 5: wouldn't matter if you were at General Pants or not.
Speaker 2: Said I definitely wasn't. He's like so weird.
Speaker 5: He's like, look at this photo my wife just sent
Speaker 5: me and this had just happened, and he pulls out
Speaker 5: his phone. This is just a stranger and It's a
Speaker 5: photo of Delilah tied to the door. And I was like, oh,
Speaker 5: that's Tony May. And he goes what And I was like,
Speaker 5: that's Tony May. He's like, what's Tony Mane? I said,
Speaker 5: that's a jewelry store. It's like, hang on what And
Speaker 5: I was like, Oh my god, something's happened. He's like, Oh,
Speaker 5: my wife just told me she was going down to
Speaker 5: get me some shirts from General Pants Co. She was
Speaker 5: supposed to be on a really short break. Obviously she
Speaker 5: works there as well or something. And he's like, so,
Speaker 5: you're saying she was, in fact at a jewey store.
Speaker 5: And I was like, absolutely not, That's absolutely not what
Speaker 5: I'm saying. Anyway, I realized in that moment I had
Speaker 5: completely outed his partner.
Speaker 3: She really lied. She told a little phibby.
Speaker 5: She wanted to go shopping and what are the odds
Speaker 5: that she would see a dog? She liked, take a
Speaker 5: photo send it to a partner. Her partner'd be like,
Speaker 5: that's cute. Then I walk past with the dog. He
Speaker 5: sees me, comes out, asks me where I've been, shows
Speaker 5: me the photo, and then I correct him. What are
Speaker 5: the universal odds that I would out her?
Speaker 1: At that level, we thought that he's so angry about
Speaker 1: the fact that she stopped at an extra shock.
Speaker 2: He wasn't angry. He was just like interesting.
Speaker 5: Obviously she was on like a really small break or something,
Speaker 5: and she had said that she wanted to go buy
Speaker 5: him a present from General Pants.
Speaker 3: Then she said she had no time.
Speaker 2: But then she said she had no time. It was herself.
Speaker 2: She was shopping for jewelry herself.
Speaker 1: Oh, I actually don't. I'm not I'm not against that.
Speaker 1: I think it's a great idea.
Speaker 3: I was like, I want it. I'm fine with this.
Speaker 1: It's a funny one because obviously white lies generally don't
Speaker 1: get you into too much trouble.
Speaker 2: And I feel like that.
Speaker 1: Is a pretty she's not in trouble. It's a pretty
Speaker 1: harmless white lie. The only thing I can think of
Speaker 1: in terms of like white lies. I don't think I've
Speaker 1: gotten myself mixed up or gotten myself called out. Not
Speaker 1: to say that I've never lied, I'm sure I have,
Speaker 1: but I've never ever been caught out fundamentally in a lie.
Speaker 1: But I will never forget the time when my boyfriend
Speaker 1: was supposed to come over for dinner. We were supposed
Speaker 1: to spend the night together. And this is a guy
Speaker 1: who I've spoken about many times in the past.
Speaker 3: He was not a very good boyfriend.
Speaker 1: He cheated on me, and he'd said he couldn't come
Speaker 1: over because he was feeling really sick, and he'd gotten
Speaker 1: like the colder broncatis or something. He called me at
Speaker 1: like nine o'clock and was like, sorry, maam so sick,
Speaker 1: so sick, and I went to bed. Didn't think anything
Speaker 1: of it, like send him a little cute mess you're saying,
Speaker 1: hope you feel better. And then at three o'clock in
Speaker 1: the morning, my phone was ringing. I was asleep. I
Speaker 1: rolled over and answered it, and he was at a
Speaker 1: nightclub and he'd accidentally butt dialed me, and then I
Speaker 1: just left the phone. I didn't hang up because I
Speaker 1: wanted to hear what was happening, and I reckon. I
Speaker 1: sat on the phone just listening to him in a
Speaker 1: nightclub for a good forty minutes. Anyway, Producer, Grace, you
Speaker 1: were saying that you've been caught in a lie.
Speaker 4: Once when I was young, I invited a boy over
Speaker 4: when my parents were away, and then the next day
Speaker 4: my mum was like, did you have fun last night
Speaker 4: with that boy that you invited over, And I was like.
Speaker 2: What, how did you know?
Speaker 4: And for years I could not figure out how she'd
Speaker 4: caught me out in this lie. And turns out he
Speaker 4: rung the doorbell and it was one of those ring
Speaker 4: ones that records what.
Speaker 3: She let him in, and he just never mentioned it. No,
Speaker 3: she was awake, No, she was away.
Speaker 4: He rang the doorbell and it came up with a
Speaker 4: notification with a video of who was at the door
Speaker 4: and my mom knocking in.
Speaker 2: But she but she just let him come over. Obviously
Speaker 2: she didn't call you on the spot and be like, no,
Speaker 2: he was nice enough, they'd met each other.
Speaker 1: My mum was okay with boyfriends sleeping over, but she
Speaker 1: made them sleep in the loungry and I was too
Speaker 1: scared about getting caught.
Speaker 3: We lived in a really small house.
Speaker 5: I wasn't like no, I wasn't in an avoid over.
Speaker 5: No way, there is no way my parents were letting
Speaker 5: anyone sleep over. Now, Laura, I know you are not
Speaker 5: a complainer, and I know I'm not a complainer. And
Speaker 5: what I mean by that is like, if you go
Speaker 5: to a restaurant and there's something in your food, do
Speaker 5: you send it back, Are you going to write a
Speaker 5: Google review?
Speaker 1: No, there would have to be something pretty significantly wrong
Speaker 1: with my food to even send her back, like if
Speaker 1: they baked a cockroach, And I think I might be like, oh, okay, probably.
Speaker 2: I barely complain about anything, but I want to know.
Speaker 3: I'll complain to you, but I won't tell them.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I want to know if you would complain
Speaker 5: about what I'm about to tell you. The CEO of Airbnb,
Speaker 5: Brian Cheskey, has just come out saying some of the
Speaker 5: craziest complaints he has ever received.
Speaker 2: But have to listen to this.
Speaker 3: This is his.
Speaker 2: Number one complaint he has received.
Speaker 7: One day, a customer calls us and says they want
Speaker 7: a full refund. We say, why do you want a
Speaker 7: full refund? They said, because the house is haunted and
Speaker 7: there's a ghost in the house. And we're like, okay, well,
Speaker 7: we have to judicate this. So we call the host
Speaker 7: and all the host has to do is deny it
Speaker 7: because there's no photo evidence that ghosts. Well, unfortunately, the
Speaker 7: host confirms the ghost, says that it's a friendly ghost
Speaker 7: named Stanley, and that the ghost Stanley is in the
Speaker 7: listing description. So we go back to the guests, and
Speaker 7: the guest says, yes, we knew about Stanley, that's why
Speaker 7: we booked it. But Stanley has been harassing.
Speaker 5: Us all night.
Speaker 3: Thanks.
Speaker 5: So they've got the complaints not about the ghosts. They
Speaker 5: were like, oh, cool, there's a ghost that lives in
Speaker 5: this house. That could be fun.
Speaker 3: That's why people would go and stay.
Speaker 5: They're not just going to that house because it's haunted,
Speaker 5: because it's not haunted as such. He's really friendly, but
Speaker 5: I guess people that might want a friendly ghost experience
Speaker 5: are going there. So the complaint wasn't that there's a ghost.
Speaker 5: The complaint was that it was not accurate, and it
Speaker 5: said that Stanley was friendly and in fact, he harassed
Speaker 5: them all night. Would you ever go and stay in
Speaker 5: an Airbnb or a house if you knew there was
Speaker 5: a ghost in there. I don't really believe in ghosts, Like,
Speaker 5: I'm not someone that has a ghost story. I know
Speaker 5: you do, Britt, and we've spoken about it so many
Speaker 5: times that you have got some hellish stories.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be going and seeking it out.
Speaker 1: Put it that way, even though I don't believe in
Speaker 1: like being haunted by other ghosts or them coming and
Speaker 1: like ooo. But I'm not going to go onto an
Speaker 1: Airbnb listing that clearly says the ghost in the house
Speaker 1: and then book that one.
Speaker 5: But that's interesting because if you don't believe in ghosts,
Speaker 5: why would it stop you from going if they don't exist.
Speaker 3: It's kind of the same as religion to me.
Speaker 1: And I say this because, like, I don't really believe
Speaker 1: in religion, any religion, Like I'm very agnostic, I'm very neutral.
Speaker 1: But every so often I think, oh, God, I'm going
Speaker 1: to be screwed if the big guy's up. If it
Speaker 1: is really one day when I die and then I
Speaker 1: find out God's real, I'm going to be in a
Speaker 1: bit of bother. So I still think that even if
Speaker 1: I don't, you know, actually play into any of it.
Speaker 2: I mean, I do believe in ghosts.
Speaker 5: I have seen them, and I know people listening right
Speaker 5: now are going to be like, I'm crazy, But when
Speaker 5: you've seen something or experienced something, you just can't deny
Speaker 5: it anymore. But I still wouldn't, knowing that I've seen them,
Speaker 5: I still wouldn't go and stay. Actually, that's why I
Speaker 5: wouldn't go and stay an Airbnb if they had said, hey,
Speaker 5: there actually is one hundred percent of ghost that lives
Speaker 5: here doesn't matter. If it was the most perfect house
Speaker 5: in the most perfect place and it was so cheap,
Speaker 5: I could not do it.
Speaker 1: The thing is, though, is I genuinely think that these
Speaker 1: airbnb listings people are going because they want the experience.
Speaker 1: They want to feel like they've seen something or experience
Speaker 1: something that's like extraterrestrial or like un you know, you
Speaker 1: can't put into words. I think it's actually like a
Speaker 1: desired holiday experience for some people.
Speaker 2: Evenly if it's like cats, but a friendly ghost.
Speaker 3: What constitutes a friendly ghost?
Speaker 5: When I lived in Scotland, we lived across from this
Speaker 5: church stra and I and Sheridan and I. It was
Speaker 5: a two bedroom flat, quite big, but sherry and I
Speaker 5: slept directly opposite each other.
Speaker 2: We both had.
Speaker 5: Boyfriends at the time, and we used to hear footsteps
Speaker 5: getting out and walking around the house and going to
Speaker 5: the fridge and doing all of this stuff, and we
Speaker 5: used to always assume that each other's boyfriend at the
Speaker 5: time was at the house staying. We'd go to work,
Speaker 5: one of us who go to work, there'd only be
Speaker 5: one person in the home and we'd be like, oh,
Speaker 5: the boyfriend must still be here. No one was there,
Speaker 5: but we could hear them walking around the house moving stuff.
Speaker 3: Was the house as apartment? Sure wasn't someone just upstairs?
Speaker 2: No, this is two meters away from us.
Speaker 5: Then in the huge, beautiful living room, it never ever,
Speaker 5: no matter what, could heat up, it was always ice cold,
Speaker 5: and the furniture would move around in there. This sounds crazy.
Speaker 5: The chairs would move around, everything would move around. You
Speaker 5: could put heating on in the house, it would refuse
Speaker 5: to heat up in there. And I know the ghost
Speaker 5: used to live in there because that's where the furniture
Speaker 5: would move around. And we ended up asking people in
Speaker 5: the building and they had said, now, this could be
Speaker 5: like the little myth and legend. But they had said, oh, yeah,
Speaker 5: somebody was like killed like one hundred hundred years ago
Speaker 5: and buried under the church across the road. And that
Speaker 5: legend has it that he's just gone across into our
Speaker 5: apartment and he just lives in the apartment.
Speaker 1: I see, I don't believe that. A couple of footsteps.
Speaker 1: And then when you live in a house and furnitures
Speaker 1: moved because someone else has moved it unless it's moving
Speaker 1: in front of you.
Speaker 5: Not a sharehouse, it's just me and my sister. It's
Speaker 5: not a sharehouse. It's not like we're in a dorm.
Speaker 3: You still share a house.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but when one of us was gone to work,
Speaker 5: there's no one in the house.
Speaker 2: It's just you.
Speaker 3: How long did you live there?
Speaker 5: For?
Speaker 2: About twelve months?
Speaker 3: Did you leave because you were scared?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 2: Because he never harmed us. But he also used to
Speaker 2: his trick. What do you used to He used to
Speaker 2: play pranks on us.
Speaker 5: He used to push the ice machine in the fridge
Speaker 5: and make ice come out and stuff.
Speaker 3: That's not that happens in my house. Bridge.
Speaker 2: That's what I hate to break it to you. You've
Speaker 2: got to go.
Speaker 3: No, it is not it's just your fridge is broken.
Speaker 2: No, it's not.
Speaker 3: Oh god, I don't know if I believe any of this.
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I'm pro ghost Maybe we need to get people's ghost stories.
Speaker 3: Maybe that's the next thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I aren't going to be heaped, all right. Well,
Speaker 2: look
Speaker 3: That's it from us, guys.
