<v Speaker 1>good babs are all down. I don't much, but yeah,

0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:18.959
<v Speaker 1>I know I'll big get and what I want. It

0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:23.239
<v Speaker 1>don't matter where. This is the pickup, Hi, guys, it's

0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:25.000
<v Speaker 1>a pick up with Britt Hockley and Laura Burn.

0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:29.160
<v Speaker 2>And you've got a very important appointment tonight. Laura, and

0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:30.560
<v Speaker 2>you were just telling me about.

0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm leaving the show today to go and get my girls,

0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:35.839
<v Speaker 1>to go and do a mad dash to Kmart to

0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:37.560
<v Speaker 1>go and get everything that we need to make Easter

0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:39.200
<v Speaker 1>hats for the Easter hat parade.

0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:41.160
<v Speaker 2>What are you going? You're going like a wide brim

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:42.520
<v Speaker 2>a cap. What's the base?

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:45.200
<v Speaker 1>The problem with Easter hat parades is that you really

0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:47.159
<v Speaker 1>have to work with whatever you can find. So it's

0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>a bit of a scavenger hunt. Because you hear me out,

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's true. I think you can do more.

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Shops need to like sell things that are specific for

0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:57.520
<v Speaker 1>making the Easter hats. You gotta go hunting. You gotta find,

0:00:57.560 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 1>like we things to hot glue gun on it, or

0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.400
<v Speaker 1>it's a paper mache or crepe paper, like it's a

0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:05.040
<v Speaker 1>whole thing. I just loved Pitchy doing it. I do

0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:07.400
<v Speaker 1>it every year. What are you talking about last year?

0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 1>I went and bought like fake flowers, and so she

0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:12.840
<v Speaker 1>had like ornaments of rabbits stuck on her hat and

0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:15.800
<v Speaker 1>then fake flowers around the ornaments. It was a masterpiece.

0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:17.759
<v Speaker 1>She held onto that one. It's still in the cupboard.

0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:19.080
<v Speaker 3>You know. One of the only things I've ever won

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 3>in life. Couldn't even win The Bachelor. The only thing

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 3>I ever won was the easter hat parade when I

0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:24.959
<v Speaker 3>was about five years old.

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:27.480
<v Speaker 2>I nailed it. We had to do a well do

0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 2>you still do it?

0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:28.200
<v Speaker 3>Is?

0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Do I do an actual parade? The parade around?

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:32.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh, we were on the catwalk. I'd gone to modeling classes.

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:33.880
<v Speaker 2>I did model classes.

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:35.839
<v Speaker 3>I knew how to walk, and I strutted that hat

0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:37.480
<v Speaker 3>and I had you know what won me?

0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Plus my mum.

0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:41.199
<v Speaker 3>It was a full easter hat parade, like beautiful hat,

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:44.720
<v Speaker 3>but it was a wide brim and she put like,

0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 3>we're in the outback where you put like cork to

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.000
<v Speaker 3>get the flies away, And so I had like an

0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:50.760
<v Speaker 3>outback cork swinging around my head.

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, was it cork? Or was it tiny little easter eggs,

0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 1>because that would have been.

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 3>Well, maybe she did the East trokes. I can't remember,

0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:57.760
<v Speaker 3>but it was to keep the flies away.

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 1>I thought I won. I mean that gives me some

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 1>that gives me some inspo. Maybe I can do that,

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 1>but with Easter eggs.

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she'll probably win if you do that.

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 1>I do have to get her into modeling school. That's

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 1>probably the ones.

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 2>I'll come around this afternoon. I'll show her some things.

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:16.639
<v Speaker 1>Now. Look, I have been unintentionally, slightly intentionally. It started

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 1>off intentional. It was intentional, but now it's unintentional rage

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:22.400
<v Speaker 1>baiting people on the internet. Now, if you don't know

0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 1>what rage baiting is, it's basically when you create content

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:28.960
<v Speaker 1>on Instagram with the intention of making people angry.

0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 2>I feel like it's pretty self explanatory, Like you're baiting

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:31.920
<v Speaker 2>the rage.

0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm baiting the rage. Yeah. My husband and I, Matt,

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 1>we have been doing a renovation and we've been documenting

0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 1>the process over the last couple of months. It's been

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 1>nine months. And let me tell you, we have put

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:45.240
<v Speaker 1>some blood, sweat and tears into this renovation and dollars

0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 1>and some cash. It is eclectic, it is weird. I

0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:52.240
<v Speaker 1>mean you described as a Willy Wonker house, but we

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 1>wanted to have a house that was like colorful and

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:56.600
<v Speaker 1>fun that when you walked into it, you felt like

0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:57.400
<v Speaker 1>you're on a holiday.

0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 2>It is a fun house. You got to put those

0:02:58.880 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 2>sunglasses onto walking.

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:02.919
<v Speaker 1>Over the last couple of months, we've realized that people

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:04.919
<v Speaker 1>either love it or they hate it. And in the

0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:07.440
<v Speaker 1>last week we've started to do room reveals because we

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:09.639
<v Speaker 1>were our own little mini block here. The first one

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.920
<v Speaker 1>was the bathroom, the second one was the kitchen. And

0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 1>I just want to say I was not prepared for

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 1>how angry renovation content makes people.

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:19.359
<v Speaker 2>You baited too hard.

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.959
<v Speaker 1>I didn't mean to age. The problem is that when

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:24.800
<v Speaker 1>past rage baiting and now it's like people are just

0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:26.760
<v Speaker 1>being me and I'm like, this is still my house, guys.

0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:30.440
<v Speaker 1>So this is what I mean by it's making people enraged. Firstly,

0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Daily Mail has written an article about how enraged people

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:34.320
<v Speaker 1>are if you want to go and look for it.

0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:38.680
<v Speaker 1>But also it things like this, oh, actually funny. Her

0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 1>handle is plain Jane, so maybe it's why she doesn't

0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.560
<v Speaker 1>like it, but she wrote love that for you. You

0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:46.480
<v Speaker 1>were being stubborn with your style. I just don't understand

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:49.520
<v Speaker 1>how it works though it doesn't work with the natural simplicity.

0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:50.160
<v Speaker 1>It's ugly.

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.720
<v Speaker 2>Wow, imagine writing someone.

0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Here's another review. Oh my god, that marble is hideous.

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Here's another review from Stacy Yuck. The cupboard doesn't match

0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 1>anything and the tiles are just horrible.

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Hang on in the kitchen or we're stillroom.

0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:08.880
<v Speaker 1>We're in the bathroom now. Marble fixtures and layout is

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 1>the only saving grace. This person wrote, well, you would

0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 1>be ripped to pieces by SHANEA blaze. Let's put it

0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:16.160
<v Speaker 1>that way. It's a no from me too.

0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:18.239
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well it's not the block. Shane is not coming

0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:18.680
<v Speaker 2>to stay.

0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:21.279
<v Speaker 1>Someone wrote you couldn't pay me to stay here, and

0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:23.159
<v Speaker 1>I was like, you'll never get to stay here.

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.200
<v Speaker 2>It's okay, Sharon, you're not invited.

0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:27.880
<v Speaker 1>And then the last one was and this was about

0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:29.880
<v Speaker 1>the kitchen reveal, So that was the second room that

0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.279
<v Speaker 1>we were like really excited to share with everyone. And

0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:34.440
<v Speaker 1>someone wrote better than your crap.

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:42.360
<v Speaker 3>Bathroom at these private dms written publicly.

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:43.719
<v Speaker 1>Look, I'll be honest, I.

0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:45.679
<v Speaker 3>Guess you do put it out there. You open yourself

0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.240
<v Speaker 3>up when you say what do you think? Yeah, which

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.320
<v Speaker 3>you did do so you have to expect people to

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 3>say that they don't like.

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 1>I want people to know that, like, I'm okay with

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 1>it because, like we there's been a lot of kind feedback.

0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 1>There's been a lot of people who love it. There's

0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:01.880
<v Speaker 1>been a lot of people who are into the maxim minimalist,

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:06.200
<v Speaker 1>like eclectic style of a crazy house that's got personality,

0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:08.359
<v Speaker 1>and then there are people who are not, And I

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 1>appreciate that.

0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:11.279
<v Speaker 3>Producer Grace, why don't we get some of the block

0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:12.719
<v Speaker 3>judges on, why don't we get one of them on,

0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:14.840
<v Speaker 3>let's show them some of the house. Let's get and

0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 3>see what they think, what Shana thinks, Let's see what

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:18.280
<v Speaker 3>SHANEA thinks.

0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Darren Palmer, Darren Palmer is going to be like, it's

0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:24.960
<v Speaker 1>a monstrosity, let's do it. Yeah, I'm down. My only

0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 1>worry is someone saying things like, oh my god, it's

0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:29.359
<v Speaker 1>getting worse. And I was like, guys, we've shown the

0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:31.839
<v Speaker 1>best two rooms. You started from the top, like it

0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 1>really is. It really does get worse.

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:40.400
<v Speaker 3>There's a really interesting discussion going down all the way

0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:41.440
<v Speaker 3>over in Italy.

0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:44.240
<v Speaker 3>The reason that I want to talk about this is

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.640
<v Speaker 3>because it's something that I have been thinking about recently

0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:49.680
<v Speaker 3>getting married. Whose name I'm going to take my fiancees

0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:51.760
<v Speaker 3>or not? What are we going to name our kids?

0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:52.880
<v Speaker 3>Whose name are going to give them?

0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:53.680
<v Speaker 2>But over in.

0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:59.000
<v Speaker 3>Italy there's a politician named Dario Francescini who is proposing

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 3>a new bill that any children born will automatically take

0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:07.320
<v Speaker 3>the mother's surname instead of the father's surname. Now, we

0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:11.520
<v Speaker 3>know in Australia that the default usually is the father's name,

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:13.839
<v Speaker 3>but you can choose, so you can if you both

0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:16.480
<v Speaker 3>agree to, you can say, you know, we're going to

0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:18.400
<v Speaker 3>to give it a hyphen double barrel, or we're going

0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:20.320
<v Speaker 3>to give it the mother's name, or whatever it is.

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:25.000
<v Speaker 3>But kids in Italy are automatically registered with their father's surname,

0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:27.880
<v Speaker 3>and the mother's surname is only permitted if the father

0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.360
<v Speaker 3>is absent from the child's life. Yeah.

0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Look, I mean I read this. I have opinions on

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.200
<v Speaker 1>it for multiple reasons, but I think it is really

0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:38.800
<v Speaker 1>an injustice, and I know that that's one thing he said.

0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:42.240
<v Speaker 1>He described it as centuries old injustice. But it is

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:46.880
<v Speaker 1>an injustice if the only time the mother's name is

0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:50.479
<v Speaker 1>permitted to be the chosen name is in the absence

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:52.680
<v Speaker 1>of a dad, because the thing is, there's a lot

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:55.479
<v Speaker 1>of dads who might show up as a really half

0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.120
<v Speaker 1>assed parent who then may be in and out of

0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.320
<v Speaker 1>that kid's life for the rest of their life. I

0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:02.880
<v Speaker 1>understand that that's a possibility. And it may be also

0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:05.920
<v Speaker 1>that the mum does know who the father is, but

0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.800
<v Speaker 1>they're not together and he's not an active participant in

0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 1>the child's life. Like, there's so many reasons, so many

0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:14.160
<v Speaker 1>reasons why it shouldn't just be the default of the

0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.320
<v Speaker 1>dad's name. It should always be a conversation. But I

0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.760
<v Speaker 1>think like having it like this and having it written

0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:23.240
<v Speaker 1>into legislation means that it makes it really hard for

0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.480
<v Speaker 1>moms who want to be able to have the same

0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:28.840
<v Speaker 1>last names as their children and also have that connection

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:29.240
<v Speaker 1>to them.

0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:32.320
<v Speaker 3>So do you think here in Australia would you ever

0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:34.440
<v Speaker 3>want it to be the default that it was the

0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:36.240
<v Speaker 3>mother's surname that was give passed on.

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:37.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like, I don't think we need it to

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 1>be a default here because I think we have the

0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.720
<v Speaker 1>opportunity of choice. The problem is, though, is that we

0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:45.080
<v Speaker 1>are still very steeped in tradition that most women take

0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:48.560
<v Speaker 1>on their partner's name. There's definitely been changes. I didn't

0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:50.720
<v Speaker 1>take on my partner's last name when we got married.

0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:53.840
<v Speaker 1>My name's Burn, his last name's Johnson. There's definitely people

0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.680
<v Speaker 1>who are breaking from that. However, I would be lying

0:07:56.720 --> 0:08:00.320
<v Speaker 1>if I didn't say that. They're like literal years and

0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:02.880
<v Speaker 1>years and years, and my upbringing and everything else didn't

0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.600
<v Speaker 1>influence my decision making when it came to me having children.

0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.320
<v Speaker 1>I never took on Matt's last name. But when I

0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.680
<v Speaker 1>was pregnant with Marley, it wasn't even a consideration as

0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:14.600
<v Speaker 1>to whether she would have my last name or Matt's

0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:17.600
<v Speaker 1>last name. It was as though it was just an expectation.

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:20.720
<v Speaker 1>So we never discussed it, and both my both my

0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.400
<v Speaker 1>children or our children were still happily married. Both our

0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:26.840
<v Speaker 1>children have the last name Johnson, and I don't share

0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:29.800
<v Speaker 1>that last name with them. And in our family it's fine,

0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.079
<v Speaker 1>because you know, I grew up in a family that

0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.760
<v Speaker 1>had lots of last names, because my mum got remarried

0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:36.880
<v Speaker 1>and I had a half brother who's you know, my brother,

0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:39.480
<v Speaker 1>but we all had different last names. However, it is

0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:42.000
<v Speaker 1>interesting to me that even though I think I am

0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:45.080
<v Speaker 1>progressive in this space I have no interest in changing

0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.600
<v Speaker 1>my last name. That it didn't even occur to me

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.480
<v Speaker 1>that my kids having my last name was an option.

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:52.480
<v Speaker 3>Did that not even come on to your radar when

0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:54.080
<v Speaker 3>you were getting married, that maybe you could give them

0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:54.439
<v Speaker 3>your name.

0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.559
<v Speaker 1>No, Because I you know, regardless of whether we are

0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:59.720
<v Speaker 1>together forever or not, he's a great dad. I know

0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.600
<v Speaker 1>he will always be a co parent. I think we're

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.160
<v Speaker 1>going to be together forever. That's not me saying otherwise.

0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:07.960
<v Speaker 1>But I knew that I had a great parent in him,

0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:10.080
<v Speaker 1>so it doesn't bother me that they had the last name.

0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:12.760
<v Speaker 1>The thing is, that's not always the case. And I

0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:15.720
<v Speaker 1>think about my brother growing up. So my mom, she

0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:17.760
<v Speaker 1>had my little brother, we've got a quite a big

0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:19.760
<v Speaker 1>age gap, and he has a different last name to me.

0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:22.559
<v Speaker 1>His dad was absent from from the day he was born.

0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:24.400
<v Speaker 1>My mom raised him as a single mom.

0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:25.480
<v Speaker 2>She doesn't even get the name.

0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:28.320
<v Speaker 1>And like they were married, you know, it was a

0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:32.760
<v Speaker 1>very tremultuous relationship. He was a horrible person, and my

0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:37.240
<v Speaker 1>mum ended up keeping her married name his last name

0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:39.040
<v Speaker 1>because she didn't want my brother to grow up in

0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:41.040
<v Speaker 1>a household where he was the only one who had

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:41.680
<v Speaker 1>a different name.

0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:43.559
<v Speaker 3>Maybe she didn't think of that as an option. She

0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:45.440
<v Speaker 3>could have also changed his last name.

0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:47.679
<v Speaker 1>The problem is is once it's on a birth certificate,

0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:49.480
<v Speaker 1>you have to get their approval to change the name.

0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:51.440
<v Speaker 1>You can't as a mum just change a name. So

0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:53.480
<v Speaker 1>I think the problem is is that a lot of

0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.880
<v Speaker 1>women in Australia and across the world are in situations

0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.800
<v Speaker 1>where they have no contact with their ex'es or their

0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:02.360
<v Speaker 1>past anders. They may not even be nice people, and

0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:04.280
<v Speaker 1>yet their children have to carry the last name of

0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:05.839
<v Speaker 1>that person because it was never an option to them.

0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:08.440
<v Speaker 3>Well, it is interesting the arguing against this. There's another

0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:12.280
<v Speaker 3>politician over there, Mateo Salvini. He has said that if

0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:15.480
<v Speaker 3>this bill comes into place, we are wiping these fathers

0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:17.680
<v Speaker 3>off the face of the earth, which I think is

0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:20.200
<v Speaker 3>interesting because for centuries, what have we done wiped the

0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:22.200
<v Speaker 3>women off the face of the earth pretty much.

0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:25.600
<v Speaker 1>I think that my argument to that is I don't

0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:28.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't have a last name as my kids, but

0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:30.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm still their mum. I haven't been wiped off the

0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:33.400
<v Speaker 1>face of this earth exactly. My role and responsibility as

0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:35.040
<v Speaker 1>a mum is not defined by the fact that I

0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:36.640
<v Speaker 1>don't have the same last name as my kids one

0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:38.920
<v Speaker 1>hundred percent. Yeah, I think that. I mean that to

0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:42.480
<v Speaker 1>me just feels very fragile, ego unfortunately interesting to see

0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:42.920
<v Speaker 1>what happens.

0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:45.200
<v Speaker 3>I feel like Italy and France are usually pretty progressive

0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:46.960
<v Speaker 3>with these kind of things, So watch this space.

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever done your DNA test, like an ancestry test.

0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:53.960
<v Speaker 2>I actually haven't, but I've never felt the need to.

0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Are you just a bit curious about like I don't

0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.559
<v Speaker 1>know your family tree and like what it is? What's

0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:00.640
<v Speaker 1>your maker?

0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:03.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean if you are questioning where I'm from?

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, if you have questions about me, I can definitely

0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:06.480
<v Speaker 3>go and get it done.

0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:08.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't belong to my parents.

0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:11.960
<v Speaker 1>No, i's this going. Do you know something? I don't, Brittany,

0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:15.160
<v Speaker 1>this is your life? No, I find it really fascinating.

0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:17.520
<v Speaker 1>And so my husband and I we actually did DNA

0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:22.240
<v Speaker 1>tests together recently, ancestry DNA tests, and we got an

0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:25.559
<v Speaker 1>email saying that their results were inconclusive. So we weren't

0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:29.040
<v Speaker 1>able to get our results back. And I don't know,

0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:30.760
<v Speaker 1>but I'm gonna do it again because I made these

0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:32.440
<v Speaker 1>big jokes to Matt and I was like, what if,

0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:34.560
<v Speaker 1>like they found out something because when you do it.

0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:37.080
<v Speaker 1>You have to submit like this is my dad, this

0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:39.600
<v Speaker 1>is my mom, this, and you submit as much as

0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:41.840
<v Speaker 1>your family tree as you possibly can. And I was like,

0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.400
<v Speaker 1>what if the reason why they kept it is because

0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:47.719
<v Speaker 1>they found out something they don't want us to know

0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:49.800
<v Speaker 1>about it, Like maybe your dad's not your dad.

0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:51.800
<v Speaker 2>They don't want to blow up your life.

0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:53.120
<v Speaker 1>Maybe my uncle's not my uncle.

0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:54.920
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, but like, look, I think they'd tell

0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:56.320
<v Speaker 3>you if you're your uncle of your uncle's that's not

0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:56.920
<v Speaker 3>that impactful.

0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Well, I don't know, I think it is. Anyway, this

0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:01.560
<v Speaker 1>article that came out, so a woman kind of she

0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:03.319
<v Speaker 1>went and did all the different DNA tests. There's a

0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.719
<v Speaker 1>couple that are really big ones in Australia. One's my

0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:09.160
<v Speaker 1>heritage obviously ancestry DNA, which I think most people know of.

0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:11.120
<v Speaker 1>And then there's also another one which is kind of

0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:13.800
<v Speaker 1>like the crem Dela Creme of DNA tests called twenty.

0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Three And me, hasn't that just gone into what's it

0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:16.880
<v Speaker 2>called receivership?

0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, maybe you know more about it than I.

0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:20.319
<v Speaker 2>You're like the krem Dela Creme. I'm like, it just

0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:21.040
<v Speaker 2>went down to go go.

0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Do you know why they say it's the crem dela

0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 1>creme purely because it's the most expensive, it's meant to

0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:28.520
<v Speaker 1>be the most thorough. But in the experience of this woman,

0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:31.360
<v Speaker 1>it absolutely wasn't the case. But one thing she did

0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:35.040
<v Speaker 1>find out plot twist. She found out that her childhood crush,

0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:37.800
<v Speaker 1>who she had been obsessed with and in love with

0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:41.520
<v Speaker 1>for the majority of her adolescents, turned out to be

0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:45.560
<v Speaker 1>her cousin. Imagine if you found out not when you know,

0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:47.800
<v Speaker 1>not a childhood crush. Imagine if you found out like

0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:49.760
<v Speaker 1>you were dating. There was a.

0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:53.160
<v Speaker 2>Couple that found out in America. She did the DNA test.

0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:56.160
<v Speaker 3>She found out that her husband or fiance was a

0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.880
<v Speaker 3>direct relation to her, and she was going to bury

0:12:59.000 --> 0:12:59.720
<v Speaker 3>that information.

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:01.679
<v Speaker 2>Tell him I can't remember, I'm on the edge of

0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:01.960
<v Speaker 2>my seat.

0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:03.600
<v Speaker 3>Produce your grace park to look it up.

0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:04.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:06.280
<v Speaker 3>So there was a couple who discovered, after ten years

0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:08.560
<v Speaker 3>of marriage and having three children that they were cousins.

0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and they found out via DNA.

0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:13.240
<v Speaker 1>You just stay if you're being married and you've got kids,

0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:15.720
<v Speaker 1>it's goorn too far. You're in two DP, you've already

0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:16.000
<v Speaker 1>done all that.

0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:17.360
<v Speaker 2>You're in white lotus territory.

0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Just staying there. Look, I mean we opened up the

0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:21.559
<v Speaker 1>text line and also I did a call out on

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.360
<v Speaker 1>my Instagram for this. You would be shocked by how

0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:27.880
<v Speaker 1>many people discovered really salacious things about their families or

0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.440
<v Speaker 1>about their lives. This One girl wrote in and said

0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.360
<v Speaker 1>that her grandma had six kids and they all did

0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 1>their ancestry tests as grandchildren, and they found out that

0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:40.320
<v Speaker 1>the grandma had been having an affair with the farmer

0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:42.960
<v Speaker 1>who lived on the farm next door, in Italian farmer,

0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:47.679
<v Speaker 1>and the youngest three children were not actually their grandfathers,

0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:49.640
<v Speaker 1>but it was this Italian farmer. So three of the

0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:52.600
<v Speaker 1>kids had the Italian heritage in DNA, and they were

0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:53.640
<v Speaker 1>all linked to a different dad.

0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:55.360
<v Speaker 2>They were all having a rumble behind the shed.

0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:58.280
<v Speaker 1>No, they weren't just her, just the grandma. The kids

0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:01.080
<v Speaker 1>absolutely were not rumbling, They all weren't.

0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:02.280
<v Speaker 2>But they were Wow.

0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Good on her. People who found out that their biological

0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:07.840
<v Speaker 1>dad just wasn't like their dad, wasn't their dad. Loads

0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.400
<v Speaker 1>of those came in. That would be a really sad discovery.

0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Imagining thirty years old and finding out that your dad's

0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.480
<v Speaker 1>not actually a biological dad. Know that that is gut

0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.959
<v Speaker 1>wrenching and your mum did the dirty all those over there.

0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Another girl wrote, my sister found out that she has

0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:24.120
<v Speaker 1>a different dad. There's a lot of dads out here

0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:26.160
<v Speaker 1>that are finding out that they either have kids that

0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:28.560
<v Speaker 1>they didn't know they had, or that they're not the

0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:30.200
<v Speaker 1>father to the kids they thought they did have.

0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:36.320
<v Speaker 2>I just think, let dead dogs lie. What that's the saying,

0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:36.720
<v Speaker 2>isn't it?

0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:38.680
<v Speaker 3>This is why I would worry about going and doing

0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:40.520
<v Speaker 3>a test, not that I think anything would come of it,

0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:42.600
<v Speaker 3>but I'm happy with my life. I don't need the disruption.

0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:44.520
<v Speaker 3>If it came out then my dad wasn't my dad,

0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:46.680
<v Speaker 3>which he definitely is. Hang On, I don't want to

0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:48.320
<v Speaker 3>go anywhere my dad is my dad. I don't have

0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:51.760
<v Speaker 3>any queries, but I'm just saying sometimes I think ignorance

0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:52.520
<v Speaker 3>is bliss.

0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:56.080
<v Speaker 1>How's this one? This girl found out that Ivan Malatt

0:14:56.400 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 1>is her dad's second cousin. See you know that's Skelton

0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:01.640
<v Speaker 1>in a wardrobe and a closet.

0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.120
<v Speaker 3>You don't need to know about it related to a psychopath?

0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:05.280
<v Speaker 2>What are you going to do with that information?

0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Anyway? We've got to call her on the line, Rosie,

0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:10.880
<v Speaker 1>What did you find out from your ancestry? DNA hibrit

0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:11.840
<v Speaker 1>high Lord time.

0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:15.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it wasn't myself directly, but it was a family member.

0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:17.760
<v Speaker 4>It was probably in her late fifties at the time.

0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:20.600
<v Speaker 4>She'd been doing the whole ancestry journey for a long

0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:25.400
<v Speaker 4>amount of time with her sister and her dad wasn't

0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:27.720
<v Speaker 4>her real dad, and it was actually the next door

0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:29.200
<v Speaker 4>neighbor when she was growing up.

0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:32.000
<v Speaker 1>I linking to the neighbor though, how did she get there?

0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:36.240
<v Speaker 4>I think maybe that family had also been doing kind

0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:38.360
<v Speaker 4>of their own journey, so there was already DNA kind

0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:41.680
<v Speaker 4>of in the system that was able to be linked. Yeah,

0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:42.400
<v Speaker 4>a bit of a shock.

0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:45.200
<v Speaker 3>So did his neighbor. What's the outcome here? Did the

0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:46.840
<v Speaker 3>neighbor take her on as like the dad?

0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:50.320
<v Speaker 4>So look, I'm not sure he was actually alive, but

0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:52.320
<v Speaker 4>I do know that she's now in touch with the

0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:55.120
<v Speaker 4>children that he did have, so she has kind of

0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:58.200
<v Speaker 4>got other siblings out there, and she's in very much

0:15:58.200 --> 0:15:59.960
<v Speaker 4>the same mindset as you said, Britt, Like, you know,

0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:03.040
<v Speaker 4>my great grandfather was her dad, that's who raised her.

0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:06.360
<v Speaker 4>So still kind of her opinion, but kind of good

0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:08.200
<v Speaker 4>story is which is yeah, kind of got some more

0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:09.080
<v Speaker 4>family members out of it.

0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:11.040
<v Speaker 2>So that's nice, all right, you sold me, I'll go

0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:11.600
<v Speaker 2>do one.

0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:13.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to do one because I'm frightened to

0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:14.240
<v Speaker 1>what I might find out.

0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:16.120
<v Speaker 3>To be honest, you need to do one because you've

0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:18.720
<v Speaker 3>done it and it came back inconclusive. So either they're

0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:20.840
<v Speaker 3>saying that you're one of those avatars and your DNA

0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.960
<v Speaker 3>doesn't match the humans, or something is a myths, so

0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:24.640
<v Speaker 3>we need to get.

0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:25.240
<v Speaker 2>To the bottom of that.

0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:26.680
<v Speaker 1>That is not a story arc that I want to

0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:27.880
<v Speaker 1>unpack on radio.

0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:30.560
<v Speaker 2>That you're an avatar, that you're not related to your parents.

0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:32.400
<v Speaker 1>All right, guys, well that is it from us today.
