This episode was recorded on Camaragal land. Hi guys, and welcome back to another episode of Life Uncut. I'm Laura. You know what, Brittany? No, that wasn't a stretch and sweep. That was Spider-Man. Oh, okay. Sorry.

Brittany was doing Spider-Man hands at me as I was trying to do the intro, but it's become an ongoing joke between us. And I know it's come onto the podcast a few times. I air finger you. But Brittany just does this now. This is like stretch and sweep symbol where she like- I'm coming for you. She puts, like, both her middle and her index fingers up

and then slides them in together and then pretends like she's going to stretch and sweep me. Yeah, I don't even know if that's how you do it. I think it's close. I don't think they put four fingers in, though. We've spoken about stretch and sweeps way too much on this pod recently. Yeah, well, you brought it up again. Sorry, sorry.

You fingered the air in front of me. This is our radio show. I Spider-Man. I literally Spider-Man'd you. I didn't try to do anything inappropriate. Pew, pew. Yeah, I was like, get it. All right, look, this is – it's the pick-up.

So every week, you guys know, we're on national radio. across the country and we package up all the best bits. So that's what's here. Hopefully you enjoy it then. Hey, this week, it surprises me when I learned a new term in the dating world. I feel like I was always really up to speed in it, but I'm married now and I'm just not so deep in it anymore. So I did learn a new term based off a poor girl that got picked up for a date and then the date drove off for approximately four minutes, turned around, drove her back and within five minutes he had dropped her back at her house that's I know we unpacked this but it's still to me abysmal it's so rough like if you've committed to a date at least give them 20

minutes of time 10 20 that's like you can suffer through 20 it's got a name doesn't it it does have a name it's it's a law that um I was made aware of off the back of it but I think it's a really interesting chat about like I feel like it's a balancing act and there's a boundary right a fine line that we all teeter between between saying hey I don't have to do anything or be anywhere that I don't want to be you know like we all know that you you don't want to be on a date you don't have to be there but then there's also this line of like if it's just a superficial thing and they pick you up can't you just push yourself through 20 minutes to save hurting someone's feelings like unless it's something where you feel you're like unsafe and you're getting spidey vibes

like your spidey senses are tinkling tinkling your spidey senses are tinkling maybe you want to stay on your date. But I think it's, yeah, if it's, if it's, you know what I mean? It's like a balancing act. Do you know what? Like this whole law around when it isn't, isn't okay. We get into it in the break, but something we didn't really unpack is, and it's an interesting one, is your boundaries for like not wanting to be in a situation that like is not going to serve you. For example, if you rock up to a date and within a minute you're like, it's a no, I know this is not going to go anywhere. I know that I don't have like any romantic spark, whatever that is, obviously can be based on the most superficial thing ever. I'm not judging people for that.

But what I'm judging people for is the brutality of walking away. Do you not think that if you've committed to the date, that person still deserves, I'm not saying to mislead them, but they still deserve like a little bit of time purely from just like a niceties perspective that they've made the effort to come there and sit down and have a coffee with you or, I don't know, do you still have like that moment or would you prefer someone to just get up and be like, hey, you're not for me and walk away? But that's what I'm saying. That's why it's a tricky balancing act because it's like of course you don't have to be somewhere you don't want to be but like can you just save face and save someone's feelings i don't know i wouldn't do it unless i

felt unsafe if i got to a date and i was like oh this is not what i thought like i wouldn't just get up and leave and be like see ya yeah you know i would say i would stick it out and say hey sorry my nan's giving birth i gotta go that's a great i gotta go wash my hair now um look matt did something so on the podcast on two doting dads he found my pregnancy test which I had planned on showing him it wasn't like I was I'm hoarding my pregnancy test but I kept them in a drawer because as you guys know I found out so he knows you're pregnant well I found out that I was pregnant when he wasn't here exactly Brittany god he finally knows I wanted to surprise him at the birth no but he found my pregnancy test and then he added me on two doting dads by asking

the question, is it weird to hold onto a stick that you've pissed on? Okay. And everyone had really strong opinions and he didn't tell me that he was going to unpack that on the pod. And so we unpacked it on the radio show and all that and so much more is coming up. I hope you guys enjoy it. So we're talking, what is the weirdest, most awkward, icky thing you've seen when you've gone back to like a hookups house, when you're in the throes of dating, things seem great. You turn up at their house and there's something that you're like, WTF. Now this is up the back of this woman in New York city. He's going viral online at the moment. And it was a choice to share this. Like she made a choice. She could have kept this a secret. She's seen the

Titanic over 500 times. So she is. That's too many times. It's 400. I know you've seen the Titanic. It's 495 times too many. That's for sure. I was going to say 499. Yeah. Look, I feel like it's once Titanic. No, I think that, no, look, let's give her some grace. You watched it once years ago. You maybe watched it again recently and that's cute. Well, 500 times. Obsessed. She's so obsessed that she has decided to turn her apartment into a replica of the Titanic. So she lives with just her dog. Of course she does. That's why she lives with a dog and no other human. But I need to have a look, Laura, on the next page. I've got some photos there. The entire Their apartment is a replica of the Titanic.

You walk in and it's like you're underwater. She has done like blue cellophane. Sorry, couldn't she have done the Titanic pre-drowning? Like why did she choose post-shipwreck? I don't know. It's like half sunk. The water is flooding in. It's a bad time to choose.

She's got bits of boat, like boat debris just pinned to the wall and everything is painted blue. If I was going to go for a Titanic era, I'd go above water, Titanic. I would go for the sex scene. Okay, that's a bit much. But Leonardo DiCaprio was a 25-year-old in there. Stick with me. Stick with me.

It's going viral because she started to film like some of the responses from her hinge dates when she brings them home because she's single. So like imagine you're on a date because this woman is smoke show. She's super hot. Imagine being on a date with someone that you're vibing. They seem great. They're super hot. You get back to their apartment and from the ceiling to the ground

in every room including the floor, like you even have to walk on water cellophane, is the Titanic. Would you still do it or would you leave? No, you'd leave. you'd be like, oh, this person is absolutely bat crazy. I need to get out of here. No, I think you'd tap it. Stay just for one night and then you'd leave.

You're not having a committed relationship. This reminds me of many moons ago when I'd broken up with an ex-boyfriend. I'd moved into like the smaller room in the house. The house, it was like a one-bedroom house, but it also had like kind of an oversized study. We'd call it that, right? It only fit a king single in it. It didn't fit a double bed.

I'd taken that room and I'd rented out the bigger room to a couple because I was in my 20s and I could not afford it. money. Yeah. And so anyway, I'd gone on this date and it had gone really well. And I was like, come back to mine. Kind of forgetting, forgetting that I had a king single bed at the time. It seemed like a good option. But not only did I forget that I had a king single bed, I forgot that as a joke, my Nana had bought me a bedspread, which I'd put on the bed because my other linen was, yeah, my other linen was in the washing machine. And it was a Harry Potter bedspread and I was 25. Yeah. And I was like, I hate myself right now and you can stay or leave.

And did you say you're looking to add a wand to your collection? Was that your pick-up line? Because that's what I would have gone. I would have doubled down and just made a joke. No, I remember going to a guy's. Is that your magic wand or are you just happy to see me? Yeah, exactly. That's too much.

No, it's brilliant. They would have loved it. I hate myself. No, I remember going back to a guy's house. He was great. But he just had like a stuffed toy collection. And it just doesn't equate to like sexiness. Okay, question.

And was it on the bed or was it just in the room? Everywhere. Oh, wow. Yeah, so there was someone, yeah, it was a collection. How old was he? Probably like 26 at the time. I'm trying to think how long ago it was. Was it themed at all or just a variety of stuffed toys?

It was pre-themed, yeah. It was an animal theme. I mean, sorry, it was Australian animal theme too, but definitely an animal theme, yeah. Look, I mean, these people are doing it to themselves, obviously. Like she's decorated her house in Titanic theme. Oh, we still dated. It wasn't that much.

Oh, okay, it didn't turn you off completely. I had to hide them. I was like, I'm just going to push them to the side. Do you just put them under the bed every time you come over? Like a koala goes under the bed. Now, Laura, you love a dinner party. Do I? Apparently.

I've never been invited. But you do love a dinner party. That's not true that you've never been invited. Whenever we have a dinner party, you're invited. But I'm not one to throw them anymore. I'm too pregnant and I have too many children. It's annoying. Well, I want to get your take on this.

This is, I guess, who is the a-hole, which we love here. But the group of people online, a group of friends. Now, one of the girls has invited all her friends over for dinner. Hey, guys, come to my house. Let's have a cute, let's have a dinner party. So the girl's like, yeah, that sounds great. So it wasn't like an order takeaway. It was a dinner party.

So a few of them were like, what can I bring? You know, one brought a bottle of wine or whatever else. And some chips and snacks at the start. You know what you do, like you turn up with something. If you're going to go to a dinner party where someone's hosting, you always take a plate or a salad or something. Or like only if they, you know, you ask and then you bring something. Yeah.

So they went and had their dinner. It was all lovely. Went home. The next day, they all got a message in the group chat that was a request for $18.50 each. And that money was for the dinner party that she had thrown the night before. For the ingredients in total? Well, yeah. For the, yeah.

I mean, it's not a tip for a service, I guess. But it's like, it was for like, this is what I spent on all the food and drinks and getting everything. Can you guys chip in? But the girls were all sort of like, well, hang on. we thought you just invited us over for dinner. We didn't know. Anyway, it's caused a bit of a rift in the group

and it's like asking the question, should you have to pay if a friend invites you to dinner? No. If a friend invites you to dinner, then that is like a nice, generous gift. However, if I went over to a friend's house and I had dinner there and then they messaged me the next day and said, oh, hey, hun, do you mind transferring me $18?

You pay it. I'd just pay it. I wouldn't be getting on Reddit and complaining about it. I'd just pay. It's $18. bucks. Well, I think they did pay it to keep the friendship, but I think that they're more now just trying to get to the bottom of like, is this normal? Like, are we in the wrong? Every so often these things happen and you, and you like have to like have a bit of a, it's almost like having a

social stock take, right? You're like, Hey, this happened. Are they being weird? Or am I presuming that this is not an okay situation? I think if you're going to invite people over to your house, there's kind of an expectation that you're cooking for them and you're not expecting them to paper her away. Unless, so a girlfriend asked me over on the weekend, there were four of us girls, hey, do you guys want to come have dinner? We'll just chill. The dogs can play, whatever else. And it was like, we'll just order some takeaway. That was different because we all went over, we all Uber Eats together. Then we all just transferred the money and it was even. I feel like the context is important. Like if it's like, let's catch up and just order dinner together.

It's more like open to whoever's house it could be. It's not come for a dinner party. Yeah. I also wonder, okay, in these situations, maybe I'm going too deep down the rabbit hole now, but okay. For example, what if they usually go over to a friend's house and they usually do that? Like they usually are just ordering takeaway and then they transfer. And so she was like, I'll come in mine, but I'll cook. She just had a really skewed misconception around how that was going to go. Well, look, I went down a bit of a rabbit hole on this thread. I feel like this is not uncharted territory. Like we've all been in this situation, but there was like a whole thread on dates, dates that have like... Oh, you've experienced this though a few times, Britt.

What about sandwich guy? Yeah. I had a guy that bought me a sandwich on a date and then walked me to an ATM to get $20 out. In fact, the sandwich was like $18. Like I gave him a $2 tip. He didn't give me $2 back. That was a generosity of walking him to the ATM. No, but there was this one woman that was like, she went on a date with a 30 year old guy. They had burgers and fries, like quite casual. It's giving McDonald's, but I think it was fancier, but like that kind of a food. So they got burgers each. And then they said, hey, do you just want to share a fries? Like how hungry are you? Anyway, the next day she woke up to a Venmo request for $3.25. And the note was, hey, this is for the fries that we shared. $3 after a date.

No, but like, you know what though? These people are not getting second dates. Yeah. And they don't expect them either. I think if you're sending that, you're sending it because you don't want a second date. And you, I actually think if anything, that guy sent it because he's a coward. So instead of saying, hey, I don't want to have a second date with you he made himself undesirable so he was like you know can you pay me that three dollars 25 and then she's gonna go to all her girlfriends and be like oh my god this loser and really he's just so conflict avoidant he didn't know how to message her and say I wasn't into it that's

I reckon that's what it is I reckon that's what it is I don't think any guy's got that much energy Britt if I tell you a secret will you tell your husband oh I mean how long's a piece of string what's the secret if I was it like that you wet yourself probably yeah I'll tell him What's this? No. I need context. No, there doesn't need to be context. If I told you something and I was like, hey, you're my best friend,

don't tell anyone, would you keep that secret in its entirety or would you not tell anyone but probably tell your husband? I would keep the secret unless somehow it was going to affect him or me directly. But, like, if it was just your something about a rash you had somewhere. What do you mean unless it affects me? you'll still tell him because clearly I'm sensitive about having a rash somewhere. No, if it affected me or him somehow. But if you just said, hey, don't tell anyone this,

then you told me. I wouldn't tell him. No. All right. Producer Grace, I've got a question for you. If I told you a secret, like, and I was like, hey, this is really personal. Please don't tell anyone. Would you keep it a secret from everyone else? But would you share it with your wife? I'd probably share it with my wife. I'm so sorry. That's why I don't trust Grace. You're an a-hole and you're also fired. I'm just thinking about all the secrets I've told Grace and Diana now. Great. The reason why this has come up is because like there's a guy who all of his friends are quite upset with him because he's broke the bro code. So the bro code being that they felt as though that they had some conversations which was supposed to just end within their friendship.

And he went home and told his wife. And then he's raised the question of like, but surely that's what everyone's doing when you're in like a long term married or committed relationship. So hang on, do you tell your husband, Matt, my secrets? I tell Matt most things. So you tell Matt my secrets. So you just got angry at Grace, but you tell Matt my secrets. I can't think of any secrets you've told me. I mean, Matt did tell the world my wedding date, which was a big secret.

Yeah, you guys don't know this, but so Britt kept her actual wedding date a secret because, to be fair, I didn't tell him that though. He was invited to the wedding. And the location. So Matt was invited to the wedding and the location, and they did some pre-records on his podcast, Two Dirty Dads, and he just mixed up the date and on the day of Brit's wedding, he was like, oh, yeah, we went to Bali for Brit's wedding

and then said the date of when the wedding, it was terrible. Before the wedding had happened. He's also shared our unborn child's first name and middle name, which I wanted to keep at least one of them secret, but he shared them both on his podcast as well. So we can establish Matt has no bro code. Okay, Matt does not have a bro code, but I do think that people have different rules for their partners.

Like some people will absolutely take a secret to the grave and not tell anyone. other people will tell that one person and usually that one person is their significant other. I did read something somewhere from someone important and wise. Facts coming right to you. That someone wise once said on some study that someone funded. That we cannot lie.

No, that basically it's impossible. Nobody doesn't tell somebody a secret. Like almost no one takes a grave. I don't know how they studied that. But it's like human nature to not be able to hold something in. So whether it's just a friend or a stranger or a therapist or whoever it is, like as humans, we can't take something to the grave. How do serial killers even get found out?

You've got to think about it, right? Like you tell one person and you're like, okay, I only told one person, that's the secret. And then they're going to tell one person and they're like, but I only told one person and that's the secret. I don't know how I feel about it, but I do admire people who have the ability to receive a secret and not tell a single soul, not even their romantic partner.

I mean, now that you guys added yourself first, I would tell Ben for sure. I was taking the high road because you asked me first. I think most people are sharing stuff with their partners. I do have an example of this, however, that is absolutely not the case. So one of my best friends, Kaya, she's been like my closest friend for gosh, more than 10 years now. And when I came out of The Bachelor, we had to keep it secret for several months because the filming finished in May and then the final showed on TV in September. Actually, it's coming up to our anniversary of the final. And I told Kaya, She just knew she could look at me and I was happy

and I was texting someone all the time. And she was like, I know you're with the guy. Anyway, I was like, you cannot tell anyone. You can't share it with anyone. And she was like, Laura, I can keep a secret. I'll take it to the grave. Her husband went and put bets on for me to lose. So he thought I didn't get chosen.

So she lost money off it. And when it came to the finale, he was like, wait, you knew and you never told me. And Kai was like, well, it wasn't my secret to tell. And I just, I was so in awe of her ability to keep a secret because I was like, you're a better woman than I am. Also, but there's a difference when there's NDAs in the picture. Like you've signed NDAs and they're so scary that you're led to believe

that like, I was led to believe the CIA would come out. Yeah, but I still told her and she kept the secret better than I did. Like I couldn't even keep it. It was my NDA. To be fair, I would have told Matt. Brittany. Yes, Laura. Stop the press.

There's been some big and exciting news happening in the Guinness Book of World Records territory, a new record has been set. It's very stupid. I think a new, isn't like a new record set somewhere every day? Well, I don't know what the rules are around like how you set a new record. But like, I remember back in the day, I used to have like the, what was it?

Yeah, like the 1999 Guinness World Record book. It was this huge coffee table book. Some of the things in it are so stupid. And some of them you're like, wow, that is an incredible feat that you have undertaken. And I don't know where this one sits. Okay, so there is a woman, she's from New Zealand. and she decided to voluntarily run across 100 metres,

like sprint 100 metres of Lego. So imagine what it's like to step on one piece of Lego. This woman has trained day in, day out. She has calloused her feet on purpose so that she could sprint across a trail of Lego to get to the other side. Hear me out. I think it's easier to run across more Lego than a single piece because if there's just that one single Lego piece sticking up,

it really gets you. But when it's all together, it forms like a floor. I don't know if I would agree with that. I've run over full Lego before and I've gone one foot and buckled down to the ground. So they had 300 kilograms of Lego, which they'd sprayed out, like splayed out along this trail. And she ran it in 24.75 seconds, which I don't know how that equates to like a normal 100 meter sprint. I'm not a runner.

I'm not very athletic. I'm pretty sure it's like 10 seconds. So that's pretty fast. 24 seconds is pretty fast if you're running it over Lego. Or is that a slow jog? I can't tell. I mean, I saw her. I did see her running it.

It wasn't a smooth run. It most certainly wasn't a sprint. Grace, what is the world record? So the women's 100 metre world record is 10.49 seconds. That's pretty fast. I don't think that you can use like the absolute athletic best to be the benchmark for this mum who's running over like a trail of Lego. I still think it's pretty impressive.

Why you would want to do it, I'm not sure. But she was like rallied on by her kids who were running alongside her. I don't get it. I don't get why anyone – I mean it's one thing to say you've got a world record but not for the sake of it. Like some of these world records, the most snails on a face. What? Like live snails.

But he was only 11. It doesn't matter. Why do we care and why are we setting the records? And like you could beat that, Laura. Do you want to take that from an 11-year-old? Do you know what? I would do this. I would absolutely do this.

So I would smash this 11-year-old into smithereens. But do you want to know how many snails there were? Yes, 43. Which I think that that's an achievable amount. My face is bigger than an 11-year-old's. We could collect more snails. You would have that in the bag. And then also the most eggs crushed with the head,

conquered by Asherita with 80 eggs in one minute. I reckon you could do that too. I reckon I could smash 80 eggs. Maybe we need to do a day where we just try and beat at least one world record. You can do it. I don't know if it's pregnancy safe. Maybe I'll do it postpartum. But I could do the 80 eggs smash.

The largest collection of sick bags. Sorry, what? Why are people collecting these? Why is this a world record? What world record would you set if you could? I like this last one that's been written down here. It's cycling backwards with a violin. I can't do that.

So that one is quite impressive. Well, don't take that away from him. It was Christian Adam. He deserves a name. Mine would be picking things up with my feet. Like I'll try and pick up the most amount of things with my feet in a minute. Why don't you do that? Let's Google if that's a record.

Is it a record? All right. The Guinness World Record for the most golf balls picked up with feet in one minute is 14. 14? But golf balls is hard. That's a hard thing to pick up. Don't you back down now. Is there anything else?

Like I don't know if I could pick up a golf ball. Most tennis ball touches using the feet in one minute. Wait, what do you mean a touch? I could touch a tennis ball with my feet. So someone touched a tennis ball with a foot 258 times in a minute. Going like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. I reckon you could pick up a golf ball. 14 is achievable.

I've seen you pick up a banana. I've seen you pick up a weight. I can peel a banana with my feet. That's not it. Let's go back to the record. Why don't we actually try it? It's only 14 golf balls. Do you know what I could do?

I could pick up 48 snails with my feet and that would be a new record. I don't think that is something. Britt, did you ever have any nicknames as a kid that stuck? Yes, I absolutely did. Like what? Pretty titty. Peahead. Yeah, so if you really want me to unpack my trauma,

I have a small head. It's small for my body. It always has been. I wear hair extensions and a fake fringe to give myself some more size. It really? I have to wear an extra small hat and most helmets don't fit me. I remember putting on one of your hats. Well, I didn't put it on.

I tried. I attempted. And that's when I discovered that. But your head's like. That's when I first discovered. That's when I discovered that you have a deceptively small head. Your head though. Doesn't look small.

It doesn't look small. I carry it well. Yeah. Thank you. But it's really tiny. It's small, yeah. How old were you when you started getting called Peahead? Quite a long time.

Most of my life. But I have other nicknames too. Sea Biscuit is my family calls me Sea Biscuit. Isn't that a horse? Yes, it is a horse. A very famous horse. Let's not go into why I'm called Sea Biscuit. My family are big nicknamers.

My sister's nickname is Shrek, which is unfortunate. Yeah, that's really mean. You know that you're not the love sister if you get called Shrek from a child. Yeah, it wasn't good actually on reflection. Well, look, the reason why we're talking about this is because there's a family who, look, the delivery story around this is pretty crazy, right? So the woman went into labor and she had her baby in a McDonald's car park. So imagine of all the places you're going through drive-thru,

getting your chicken nuggets and then you're like, oh, cramp. Isn't there some rumor about McDonald's fries and like bringing on birth and stuff like the salt or something? No, I don't know if that. She literally just said the labor came on so quickly. She didn't even have time to push. She didn't even think about pushing. She was already, the head was coming out,

which sounds like the best way to go. She McGrimmised. What? McGrimmised. Grimmised. I was just making a joke. Sorry. Grimmised out the pregnancy and the birth.

So anyway, look, she gave birth. They named the baby Matilda. Matilda McDonald, you can't really see the similarities in that. But the reason why they called her Matilda is because they wanted to give her the nickname McTilly. Oh, no. Imagine your birth origin story and going to school and being like, oh, yeah, mum calls me McTilly because she had me in a McDonald's car park.

You just lie. You just say it was after the Matildas, the Socceroos. Yeah, that's nicer, isn't it? No one is going and flexing and saying mum had a Big Mac and then called me after it. Actually, if you're a woman and you're giving birth in a McDonald's car park and then you're naming your child McTilly, that child should get free McDonald's for their entire life.

Like there should be some sort of kickback for that. Maybe we can start something, a petition for that. We should because that's the type of things we should really throw our weight behind. I was almost, not that was a nickname, but I was almost named Laura Ashley. So my full name is Laura Ann Byrne for anyone who doesn't know. But why would everyone know your middle name? I don't know. Why would anyone know my middle name?

Laura Ann. Laura Ann, right? So Laura Ashley had been set. It was decided upon. You might also be familiar with the fact that it is a very big Manchester brand name. They make like linen and sheets and stuff. And my dad was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Laura Ashley sounds great.

And then when I think it was like just before I was born or potentially like I'd just been born and my dad was like, where did that Ashley come from? Because usually a middle name is like a family name or something. Or it just has some meaning. And my mom, the story goes, my mom was like, well, they were the sheets that she was conceived on. Surely not. And so my middle name was changed in that moment from Ashley to Anne.

Thank God. Surely not. Imagine getting around saying my name's Laura Ashley because my mum and dad boned on some linen. I don't know. It's a better story than mine. My middle name's Mayo. You do with that what you will.

Here's your imagination. How long do you think is acceptable to keep hold of a used pregnancy test? Could be positive. Maybe you're holding on to a negative one. Whatever. No judgment here. I mean, you do wee on it. Cap back on or cap not on is the question.

I was about to say it probably depends on the storage. Are you wrapping that up in GladiRap? Is it in a container? Is it just floating around your pantry? Is it touching things that you eat? It's not like in the pantry with the tiny daddies. Who knows? Okay, I feel maybe I'm doing things wrong.

I feel personally victimised by my own husband. So I found out I was pregnant when Matt, my husband, was overseas, right? So he was doing I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here. He wasn't here. and I was not expecting to be pregnant. I found out very early on, it was only because one of my friends made a joke. She was like, God, wouldn't it be funny if you found out that you were pregnant while Matt's away? And I thought, oh, do not risk that. And so I went to the chemist that afternoon, I bought a pregnancy test and I went home and I did it

and there was two lines. And so then I did another one and I did about six. Funnily enough, they're all positive. I did a lot of pregnancy tests. Anyway, I had it in my head that I was going to show Matt pregnancy test when he came home. And then I just kind of forgot about it. I put them in the bathroom drawer. You're pregnant? No, I knew I was pregnant. I forgot I had the test. I have so many of them. They're all positive. And they're all in my drawer. Anyway, it turns out that Matt came across them. Not only did he come across them, but he seemed to have an issue with the fact that I'd held on to them for so long. But part of me thinks that it's quite sentimental.

And then he added me on his own podcast, which is called Two Dating Dads. And this is the discussion that they had. How long are you allowed to keep a pregnancy test for? A positive one. Do people hold on to these? Is it a thing? You're holding on to it now and I think you should get rid of it. Why? I don't know. Don't!

Give it back! Bro, this is something your wife's peed on. You're welcome. I think the disgusting parts that Matt threw at his co-host, not the fact that you kept it, that man's gaslighting you. The comments around this were so divided some people like that is repulsive did you put the cat back on disgusting I can't remember

if the cat was on I might have been I think it was on on some of them I think it wasn't on others different flex yeah if it's not capped up like if you're keeping a practice test you cap it out it's not wrapped and bagged it's really a different place I think I want to keep one though I think it's I don't know well you do another one now you've got a week go and do one I'm assuming it's going to be positive I mean people keep all weird kinds are things that are sentimental one of our friends their mom kept their foreskin that are being chopped off not normal the circumcision skin they kept it the only thing my mom kept i think from me not the only thing but like we had a baby book but our first haircut yeah and she like

taped the hair in which feels weird looking back now but like yeah i've got my first hair so i kept lola's fringe so she got her haircut but only her fringe and i kept the fringe clippings it's so it's creepy grace what have you kept my mom has all my baby teeth still oh that's not that's Giving serial killer. It is. She said she felt weird throwing them out but didn't really want to keep them so now just has them because she didn't know what to do with them. So she just has a little pot of teeth.

Was she going to pass those on to you in your inheritance? I hope not. It's one weird thing that we get requests for all the time. Like as a jewellery designer, it's my other job, we get so many requests to turn all types of weird things into jewellery and baby teeth is one of the things. Like ground down baby teeth, someone wanted to turn it into a ring. And I was like, there is no need.

There is no need for that. Hey, that's a great question. Let us know what's like the weird thing your parents kept because I want someone to trump the foreskin. If somebody can trump that, if somebody's parents are keeping something weirder than that, you win. We'll find something for you to win. More than that, slide into our DMs at the pick-up as well.

But I also want to know like what is the timeframe? Am I a creep? Because how long should I keep this pregnancy test for? Forever. Until I found out that Matt was throwing it around, you were a bit creepy. Now Matt's a creep. You're fine.

Thank you. You've got nothing to worry about. Yeah, I have always thought my husband was the creep in our relationship. So that's fine. So I want to talk about a new law. No, not a law that you can be sent to prison for. Wait, is it law's law? Are we bringing that segment back?

No, but it is a law in the dating world. So this is going off its chops online on TikTok and Instagram at the moment. So basically this girl posted a TikTok and this is what she said. Guys, help. A guy just picked me up for a date and dropped me off home within five minutes. and he drove like 40 minutes to get me. I'm never attempting to put myself out there again. I can't stop thinking about it.

God, you would actually be so hurt. Yeah, so this guy's driven like 40 minutes is a long way to go for a date. Picked her up, she got in the car, they drove five minutes. He's like, I'm calling it, dropped her back. She didn't really give any other reasons as to like what went down in that five minutes. I really, I need to know what he said. Like how do you just return serve and just reverse the car back in

and be like, all right, that was nice. I think you just say thank you next in the words of Ariana Grande. but I think the interesting thing to come off the back of this conversation is yes that sucked but the comments were going off and everyone kept saying oh yeah that's lemon's law duh lemon's law lemon's law lemon's law and I was like what the hell is lemon's law have I been under a rock I think we have been well I did a deep dive now did you ever watch how I met your mother oh yes oh I love that show but I didn't watch it religiously so I still don't know what lemon's law is well no i didn't either but barney stinson you know he's paid played by neil patrick harris

he apparently on the show invented lemons law so have a listen last night epiphany i realized what the world of dating needs ready a lemon law a lemon law like for cars exactly from the moment the date begins you have five minutes to decide whether you're going to commit to an entire evening and if you don't it's no hard feelings just good night thanks for playing see you never Huh? Huh? The lemon law. It's going to be a thing.

Does the lemon law actually exist for cars? Like if you drive that out of a driveway and it starts sputtering, can you turn around and be like, sorry? Well, that's where it came from. The lemon law? Yeah, in the US, that was a law to protect people from buying cars that were like defunct. So you could buy it and if it didn't drive properly in five minutes, you could return it.

So, okay, hear me out though. Being referred to as a lemon as a human is pretty mean. No, do you know what? At the start- When he's like, no hard feelings, it's fine. We go on our merry lives. someone took me home after five minutes and said she's a lemon so I'm not going to commit my night to her I think I'd be pretty personally hurt he's calling you a lemon but at the start I was off it

right I thought that's wrong you shouldn't be doing that but then I thought about it a little bit more and whilst I'm not convinced that you can tell in five minutes who someone is and what connection you have like I just think that someone's not really who they are in five minutes so it's based pretty superficially there's another part of me that thinks do you know what if we are living in a world now where time is the most valuable commodity and you know you don't want to go and be somewhere and do something for the next three hours? Do you have to do it? Is it okay? I don't know. I think it's pretty harsh to call a date instantly if you've both committed. Because people put in effort, you know, they've gotten dressed up, whatever it is.

But I definitely think you should be wise enough to not organize a date that is a long investment of time. The first date should be a coffee. It should be something that you can keep to 20 minutes if you want to. But five minutes when you've picked them up in a car and you've just spun it around and driven them back to the house feels rough as guts. Oh, it's mortifying. I wouldn't be putting on TikTok. But I'm not this girl. I don't know. Britt, have you ever had someone pull a date early? Don't be ridiculous. No, no, I haven't. But I have wanted to leave dates early. Yeah, but you pity stayed, didn't you? You stayed longer. Yeah, that's what most people do. I wanted the schnitzel. But I have been at moments where Lemon Law, if it was real,

would have come in handy because there have been instances that I mean I was online dating for a long time there's a very different feel when you are texting you can have great banter with someone when it's back and forward online and then you meet them you can you can get a feeling pretty quickly if something is not right and if lemon law was a thing that was accepted I would have lemon lured the hell out of those dates but I didn't because I don't want to hurt people's feeling I was the same I think I stayed on dates for like you said relationships not dates you You've been in a relationship for like a decade you shouldn't have been in. I know we were talking about it earlier, but like how things come back in fashion,

like they come around in circles, like your clip-in fringe you've got going on today. Well, I'm not convinced that this was ever in fashion, but I buck the trends, Laura. The fringe is here to stay. Oh, but like, you know, I'm talking everything, like skinny leg jeans. They were in fashion years ago, then they came out, then they're back in. You know what I hate that's coming back in? Oh God, tell me. Low-rise jeans again, the ones that barely cover the pubic hair.

They're coming back. Yeah, but I liked them when I was a teenager. The thing is the only people that can wear it are teenagers or girls in their 20s. I just don't think anyone should wear them. Like men in boxer shorts hanging out the top of their pants. I don't think that's back in fashion yet. That's Justin Bieber.

Yeah, that is. Look, I mean, everything. There is not a category in the world when it comes to like fashion or makeup styles or whatever that doesn't come around in cycles. But something I wasn't, I guess like I never really realised that this could have the same sort of effect is kids' toys. Do you remember when we were at school the humble and very annoying Tamagotchi?

Oh, how could I forget? I killed many Tamagotchis. I remember having a Tamagotchi and I was so obsessed with this thing that even when I went to school, because they got banned from our school because all the kids would have them and it was a whole thing. Distracting. Yeah, well, yeah, because all day you've got to clean up their poo,

you've got to make sure they're fed, you've got to wash them. Yeah, but mind you, it's just a button. You just press a button to clean the poo. It is, but the problem isn't that. The problem is setting the time. Like the time's actually really tricky to set. They all come with a preloaded time. No one knows how to set the time properly.

And if you don't set the time, it doesn't sleep when you're asleep. So it's all hours of the night, the things like blip, blip, blip, blip, blip, blip. Anyway, my nan, bless her deep soul, she's not with us anymore. Yeah, she expired after having to take care of too many Tamagotchi. That's death by Tamagotchi? That's a big call. She used to take my Tamagotchi when I was at school. But anyway, I'm not talking about my experience.

Molly went to a friend's house for a play after school the other day and she came home and she was like, Mom, look what my friend gave me. And it is a Tamagotchi. And apparently every kid in primary school now has them and they're back in fashion. Are they back as in like they've gotten their parents old Tamagotchis or have they made them like a modern day?

No, there's a modern day Tamagotchi and they are back with an absolute vengeance and they are as annoying as ever. Yeah, they're always asking for something. But I feel like they're more, yeah, swipe up. I feel like they're more technical now. Surely they haven't just brought back like the humble poo Tamagotchi. It's pretty humble.

It's pretty straight. Yeah, it's pretty similar. You know, I'm not mad about it to be honest because I think like that is a better thing that I'd want my kids playing with than the video games. I know it's a screen of sorts, but it's not the same kind of screen. You know what I would like to see come back? Furbies. No, I didn't have a Furby.

the yo-ho diablo cast your minds back remember it was like two sticks and a string and it was like you would bounce it and do and like all these tricks we um when we were in cairns recently there was a guy out in the park who was playing with the yo-ho diablo and i was like wow that is really a blast from the past but i mean i think it's similar still these days kids do have their different things like i think they're slightly more annoying but like there was a mad phase of marbles. Then there was a mad phase of yo-yos. Then there was a mad phase of Tarzos in our generation. I didn't have Tarzo. Mad phase of Furbies. Like I remember getting a Furby and being so upset. Furbies were like a real life Tamagotchi. You had to do all the things to it

and keep it alive and whatnot. And it would talk and waddle and do crazy things. And I just had this moment where when Marley brought this Tamagotchi home and then she gave it to me because she went to bed and we've had to have the rule of no Tamagotchis in the bedroom. it made me real I was like oh my god I am my mother it's happened to me all the things

that I made her go through I'm now there I've arrived at the destination you absolutely have it does happen when you grow up Laura but remember sorry I'm still

on the Yoho Diablo remember you thought you were so cool but you used to have to whip one hand really quickly to get it speeding

like whip whip whip then you'd whip it across like you were like I was never any good at it and then you would you would pull it tight everyone's listening knows right now

and it would go like 30 meters in the air and you had to catch it on the string again i was elite i was really really good yeah i might get one you should bring back do you know what you heard it here first the big up he's gonna bring back the yo-ho diablo
