This episode is recorded on Gadigal land of the Aurora Nation.
Hi guys and welcome back to another episode of Life Uncut. I'm Laura.
I'm Brittany.
I'm Mitch.
This is the pick-up show where we package up all the best bits from our radio show.
Pretty rogue show, wasn't it?
Yeah, we get a bit kooky, don't we?
We've covered some ground.
By the end of the...
You did that on the show this week.
Remember, Laura?
It's a ghost.
There's a really funny article.
There was a man who has been arrested and charged for pretending to be a ghost in a cemetery.
And I think it's a bloody great story.
Do you think he was having fun or was he being malicious?
I think he was having fun.
I think he's...
Yeah, I think he's just bored.
It's like, I'm going to scare some people.
You're like teenagers out in the field doing, like, cow tipping and stuff.
I feel like it's akin to that.
That's not even real.
Who cow tips?
I feel like someone must have had to have done it for people to talk about it so openly.
Cow tipping and planking.
Remember that trend?
I was about to say, my profile picture on Facebook for a good three years was me planking.
Was it?
At the Easter show.
Yeah, I planked on a bale of hay.
I'd love to see that photo if you can find it.
It's been deleted.
I don't reckon it has.
Yeah, I was just going to say, I deleted my Twitter because all the celebrities were doing
it and I just want to join in on the craze to see if anyone picks up on it because all
the celebs are deleting all their past tweets.
So I deleted mine.
So in case I said anything bad.
And no one picked up on it.
No one cared.
I thought maybe I'll get press.
Mitch Turi deletes all tweets, but no, no one did.
Are they deleting their tweets because of the fear of something
that they tweeted back in the day resurfacing?
So it's just easier to cleanse yourself.
Yeah, and I just thought I don't use Twitter
and I probably would have said dumb things when I was 16 on Twitter.
I had the internet in high school, so I just deleted it.
I have never had a Twitter account and I have never,
I have never even looked on Twitter.
I have not touched Twitter.
It's terrible now.
It's just a right-wing hellscape now that Elon Musk is in charge.
It's actually really sad.
Twitter's gone.
Well, it's X, isn't it?
Yeah, it's now X, but Elon Musk is so conservative now.
All the big advertisers are gone, so the only advertisers
that they're putting on the platform are right-wing conservatives.
It's really scary.
He paid so much money for that dumpster fire.
That's a terrible investment if there ever was one.
I wonder why he did that.
It's such a dumb investment.
It's not really.
He did it to control the media.
One man can be very powerful.
That's why one person shouldn't control all of the media.
There's good porn on Twitter.
It's true.
We have really taken a sidestep here.
Well, I think the Life on Card audience really want to know this.
Keisha's allowed to come on, your producer, and talk about her things
and I want to talk about mine.
What kind of porn do you find on there, Mitch?
I mean, not straight porn.
There's gay men involved.
Yeah, I know what gay porn is.
It's just a lot of OnlyFans creators posting their content
so you kind of get like it's real classic back-to-roots amateur porn.
I didn't know you were allowed to do that on such a public platform.
Yeah, Tumblr got rid of it and Twitter's like, hold my mouse.
Hold my penis, yeah, exactly.
Anyway, that's my tip for the week.
Wow.
All right, well, we're also talking creepy or cute.
Like how far is too far when you want to get someone's number?
Because there's a story about a guy that went to the extreme.
He saw this chick, he shot his shot, and it flopped.
If you do not have the balls to talk to them face-to-face
when you have literally been in the same place as them,
sending a message of any sort of, like, of any sorts,
that's like, I saw you, but here's a note instead.
For me, I'm like, I don't know what you look like.
Really?
No, I think that's fine.
I think it's weird.
I'm like, just shoot your shot.
I think it's cute.
I was telling Brit when you were in the bathroom, Laura,
that that's how I got my last relationship with my ex.
My ex of five years.
So he hadn't seen you.
He had no idea what you looked like.
We hadn't met.
He followed me on Instagram.
I thought he was cute and he kept posting that he went to Sydney Uni.
And I thought, well, I don't want to slide into his DMs.
So what I did was.
You stalked him at his uni.
No, no, no.
I just drove to work via the uni, parked outside the uni for five minutes,
swiped, found him and then drove to work and then we messaged on Tinder.
Did you tell him that?
Yeah, he knows that.
He thought it was very cute.
They dated for five years.
Yeah, but you told him that you hunted him down.
Yeah, I didn't hunt him down.
I'm not a predator.
He's not an alien.
It wasn't like, you know, creepy.
I didn't call you a predator.
No, I'm more of an alien versus predator.
That's not like a sexual predator.
Took your bow and arrow out to the unicorn.
That was a movie reference.
Sorry.
No, I can see how you got confused.
And then it was great and then he cheated on me,
so love is real.
Love is blind.
Love is cooked.
Also on the show, speaking of my past relationships,
you girls forced me to call an ex of mine that I went on like three
or four dates with and you made me ask him to transfer me $8
for the yochi that I paid on our final date.
Yeah, you sound like an idiot.
That was cute.
His response was sweet.
You wouldn't even call him an ex.
If you go on three dates, it's not an ex.
You didn't have a relationship.
You got yogurt.
We didn't even sleep together.
I paid for his yochi and he's like, all right, I'm going to walk home.
I'm like, do you want me to come?
He's like, we got mold damage.
He's too sweet.
Let him down gently.
It's the black mould.
It's not personal.
He literally is like, we've got mould.
You don't want to see my house.
And I was like, okay.
Oh, then we went to Kmart.
We bought a waffle maker.
I remember.
Was that him?
Yeah, that was him.
I remember Kmart, babe.
He was at my birthday.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, I met him.
That was the first date after I had the breakup and it was like uncharted territory.
Guys, let's get into the show.
I came across an article that had me in absolute stitches over the weekend.
So imagine this.
Imagine.
Okay.
It's late at night and you have a loved one that's been buried
in a cemetery, okay?
It's not funny.
It's not funny, okay?
Lots of us have that, all right?
But you go to visit them.
You're having a late visit at a cemetery to share dinner
with your loved one.
And all of a sudden you hear, ooh, a ghost.
Yeah.
Is that the cemetery with you?
And you think, oh, my God, is that Aunt Mildred?
But no, it's not Aunt Mildred.
It's actually just a 24-year-old man who's hiding
in the cemetery making ghost noises.
Oh, that would really scare you.
Have you had a joint?
What's his story?
Yeah.
I'm imagining that.
Punchline.
There's a guy in the States who's been arrested for hiding in cemeteries,
making ghost noises at poor people who were coming to visit their family
and their friends.
Wait, what's he been arrested for?
What is it?
That's already harassment.
He pleaded guilty to using threatening.
Pretending to be a ghost.
or abusive behaviour likely to cause distress and was fined £35.
A legal use of oohs and aahs.
I know.
I also said it was in the US, but it wasn't.
It was in the UK.
But you know what?
The fine details of this story don't matter.
My favourite thing about Laura is when she reads something,
she just goes, oohs and aahs, cemetery, Aunt Mildred,
but leaves all detail out.
Yeah, but don't you think it's so funny?
I feel like all of us have, not that we've hidden in a cemetery,
but the idea of this is.
All of us have done that.
Hey, I think I speak for all of us when I say we've all pranked
someone behind a grave.
We've all been a ghost.
We've all embalmed someone and then laughed at them.
I think it's so funny that you can be fined for this,
that this is an actual law, that you can't hide in a cemetery
and pretend to be a ghost.
And you know what that means it's time for.
It's back, Brit.
It's back.
She's brought it back.
It's time for Laws, Laws.
Here we go.
Laws, Laws.
Now, there are lots of very silly laws out there
and people have been arrested and fined for many things,
like wooing in a cemetery.
Laura, sorry, we have to set this up.
We have done this before.
Laura has this weird hard-on for laws.
She brings up laws from around the world
and she tells us, Britt, thinking we're going to love them
and they're the weirdest things ever.
The thing is, is that these are so stupid,
but somebody had to have done it for it to be implemented as a law.
That's why I find it fascinating.
So here we go.
Laws, laws.
I've got a couple of good ones for you.
In Florida, unmarried women who parachute on Sundays
can be fined or jailed, but only on Sundays.
Surely that is from like the 17...
Were they paragliding in the 1700s?
Imagine being that one woman who did it on a Sunday
and they're like, you wench.
We're setting, go to the courts now.
Legislation.
Guys, we need to get on the patriarchy about this
because this is a rule that was created to uphold traditional values
and social norms regarding appropriate activities for women on Sundays.
All right.
Next one.
In Kentucky, it's illegal to dye ducklings blue and to sell them.
I mean, yeah, animal cruelty.
I'm here for that.
Yeah, I'm here for that.
It's true.
Why just the ducks though?
Yeah, and also could you do it pink and green and yellow?
Just blue.
Blue is specifically the law.
But, yeah, it's for animal welfare purposes.
Okay, in Tennessee, it is illegal.
Oh, no, this one I understand.
But in Tennessee, it's illegal to use someone else's Netflix account.
You can be fined.
That should be everywhere.
Mitch, you'd be done.
You'd be in prison.
I'm using everyone's Netflix.
I'm using Brit's Netflix account.
You actually are on mine.
Guys, look.
Yeah.
I mean, Mitch, you would share anyone's.
I would.
You actually know.
You were talking about how you were sharing yours recently.
So you've also been a victim of this.
Okay.
And lastly, guys, this is one that I think we can all really take home
and appreciate.
In Alaska, it is illegal to push a live moose out of an aeroplane.
What?
This regulation addresses concerns for both the welfare of the moose
and the safety considerations for people on the ground.
Why is it?
I feel like it should be legal to push any animal out of an aeroplane.
Why are we just on the moose?
Yeah, but imagine being on the ground and you see a moose flying out of an aeroplane.
You're like, oh, God, think of the people and the moose.
Imagine seeing a bear fly out of an aeroplane.
I'm with Brittany.
If a giraffe fell out of an aeroplane, I'd think the same.
Guys, you're taking this a little bit too seriously.
It's your segment.
Somebody out there pushed a moose out of an aeroplane
and you shouldn't do that.
They got fined for it.
That's horrible.
Maybe it fell.
Out of the aeroplane?
Yeah, who knows?
Why was it in there?
Well, anyway.
There's so many questions that Laura doesn't have the answers for.
That is it for Laws Laws, everyone.
All right, it's back.
If you're going to a cemetery this weekend,
don't make any ghost noises.
I can't wait for it to be rested for another nine months.
We did that segment like in 2022.
Ooh.
I want to talk messy breakups and money.
A lot of breakups actually happen because of money.
Do you know that?
Money and cheating.
And they are the two crucial pieces of information in this story.
Love is Blind USA is currently airing.
I'm obsessed with it.
And this really pivotal moment happened in episode eight
that's going pretty viral.
This between Monica and Steven, this couple that got paired together.
They're trying to get married and work out their relationship.
and just to give you some context here,
Monica finds out that Stephen's been cheating on her, right,
in text messages.
She's read his phone and she's seen this multitude of sexy messages
that have been going on behind her back
when they're supposed to be getting married.
Wow.
How have they known each other for?
Well, the experiment, they meet in these pods blindly.
They talk for a couple of weeks.
They pick who they want to marry blind.
And then they get married.
No, then they spend time together.
They live together.
They move in together.
And you live together for a while and then you go on a honeymoon
and then you decide if you're actually going to get married.
I love the show.
I love it.
Mum, where did you meet Dad?
A pod.
Yeah.
Sorry, we were on The Bachelor.
I know.
That's at least romantic.
A pod.
Sounds like you're a cicada.
Okay, so listen to this.
She confronts him about cheating.
She's been spotting him money-wise for the last couple of weeks
because he lost his job as an electrician.
So she's like, you know, don't worry, babe, I got you.
That's what a relationship is.
Right.
Then she sees the messages.
Then this happens.
before you leave i would like you to venmo me the money you owe me for me
carrying your weight the last couple days if you wouldn't mind taking out your phone now
to send me the venmo fine she's like leave right he's like okay i'm going and she's like hang on
wait get your phone out now and i want to see it happen pay me back some money and he you have you
you see the ping right he does no choice he gets it out he does it pings her the money and then
She's like, no, you can leave.
I think this is so fine.
If I found out that my partner was cheating on me
and I had been paying for their ass for the last couple of weeks
or days or whatever, absolutely you can ask to get paid back for it.
Yeah, I'm with you, Laura.
I think it's the same.
And I also think like her doing it in real time is the only way
that you can guarantee that they're actually going to pay you back, right?
Because otherwise you could bring it up two weeks later.
Oh, I transferred it.
Oh, it must not have gone through.
I'll try again.
Like we've all had that person that says, oh, so sorry, I forgot.
lot. And then the money never ever comes back to you. Hold on, Laura Britt, how long do you have
to claim your cash back return from an ex? Like if you have this moment, do you have a month to
call back and claim or do you have a year? Okay, so for me, I had an ex who was cheating on me
and he owed me a bit of money. But at the time, because we were dating, I was like, oh, no,
it's fine. You don't need to pay me back. I've got this. But then when I found out he cheated on me,
I asked him for the money. He refused to pay me back, but I had his credit card. And so I logged
his credit card details in the back end of my Shopify and I just let him pay for my subscription
up until the point where he paid me back the money he owed me. That's so smart. It just took
him six months, but we got there. What subscription, Laura? Well, Shopify. It's like how you run your
online store. So for my other business, he was just paying for my online store subscription.
He was an early investor in Tony May. Yeah, he doesn't know it though. I think it depends if
you like, it depends on the situation. If you've just broke up amicably four years later, you can't
be like, you know what? Like that time we went to Hawaii, you can pay me back. But my ex was
cheating on me for two years and I found out so I made him not only pay me back but I because I
lent him a lot of money I worked out the interest that I would have earned if that money was in my
account and I added the interest on and he paid it back I like the petty nurse I think you're allowed
to be petty if you've been cheated on and what do you think is the timeline when do you think you
can't ask for it I think anything after like three months it's done it's gone like I had a cheating
ex as well I made him pay the whole house deposit I made him break the lease I made him pay
the bond like he covered everything but that was about the three-month mark and he fought it hard
and i just said no you pay it who was the last person you dated mitch me before your partner
the last date i went on before steven was this guy he was lovely we went on a couple dates and
i bought his yochi his frozen yogurt which is expensive stuff and then we never saw each other
you do hear about those people all the time that go on a date and then like leave and ask
their date to venmo them like a coffee would you call him and see what would happen if you
ask him to pay back that yo-chi.
Ain't this your story?
Call Laura's business investor ex.
No.
No, because we're not calling anyone.
We've been broken up for like nine years.
My exes are from 100 years ago, like all of them.
And they all were bad cheating situations
and most of them are now married kids.
Someone needs to try it out.
Spoiler, it's not going to be Laura or myself.
Why don't you call the honey badger, Britt?
Ask him for the therapy fees that he put you through.
The $500,000 he earned from the show, maybe.
Wait, I don't even know if I have this guy's number.
You do.
Let's find it in the break.
I'm always saying, pay me back for the yo-chi.
You will sound like an absolute flog.
But do it anyway.
I think we need to put this to the test and see what will happen.
All right, let me see if I still have his number.
Oh, it's a dick pic that's just appeared.
I do.
We are talking about getting money back from an ex.
Can you ask for money back when you are breaking up?
How much can you ask for?
What's the most insignificant number and what is the time frame?
I also think a very important part of this, though,
is like whether you've been or haven't been cheated on.
Off the back of Love is Blind in the USA,
one of the couples found out that he was cheating on her
and she demanded on the spot that he Venmo her a couple of hundred bucks
for the last couple of weeks because she's like,
stuff you, I was supporting you, you cheated on me,
now I want the money back.
We thought we'd put this to the test because I feel incredibly awkward
about what's about to happen.
Oh, you feel awkward.
We're going to make Mitch call a guy he used to date how long ago?
Oh, my God.
This was like a year and a half ago.
We went on like three dates and it was cute and fun
but we just weren't a match
and it fizzled out
and the last date
was a Yochi date
where I paid
for his frozen yogurt.
It's a good question though
like what's the benchmark?
When is it okay
or not okay
to call an ex
and ask for money?
I would guess
that this is one of those times
where it's not okay
but we're going to try it anyway.
I'd like people to know
that I want to preface this
by saying I think
this is ridiculous
but I'm doing it
because you two
your exes are old
they don't have mobile phones.
Mine's a honey badger
he wouldn't answer.
I don't even know where he is
at the moment.
He lives in the bush.
Okay.
So his name is Liam
just for context.
Okay, we're going to sit here quiet
and you are going to ask him to pay you back
Yochi from your amicable breakup a year and a half ago.
How much?
The last message was from last year
and it was the breakup message.
What's your reason going to be?
You're going to say like you're saving for a house?
Yeah, house deposit, climate.
How much are you asking for?
Climate change.
Climate says it.
Climate change.
$8.
That's what it was.
He had a hefty cup, I remember.
Can you say that he got some extra toppings
and just rounded it to $10?
This is so stupid.
Hello, Liam. Hello. It's Mitch. Churi. How are you? Oh, oh, hi. How are you? I'm good. Thank you. I'm good. I'm good. How have you been? Good. What's up? Nothing. Oh, I just thought I'd buzz you because I was, I have sat down with a financial planner because I'm looking at, as you know, you know, I was wanting to buy a house, right? Get into the market. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. When we last spoke. That was like a year ago. Yeah. Yeah, it was.
I thought you would have got that organized by now.
No, I'm still living with my parents, which is, you know, classic.
But I wanted to buy something and my financial advisor's like,
look, you've got a lot of little fees that you've been,
like expenses that you've been blowing and we need to cut them down.
And if I can recoup any of the lost costs, like I should do it
because it goes towards a house deposit, like everything counts, you know.
So I was just going through all my finances
and there's an $8.12 charge from when we went on our date,
our last day and um we went to yochi yeah that we got frozen yogurt yeah um i'm just wondering if
you don't mind just sending that back oh um yeah of course you need you need like the eight dollars
for like a some paint for the roof or something when you get your funny funny funny need some
renovations maybe we do have chemistry after all i uh no no it just it just it just adds up like
i've i've called other friends and asked for coffees and um i just thought if you could
It's so random.
Oh, that's very sweet.
So just maybe I think considering we did it when last year
and I think inflation's gone up, maybe we just round it up to $10.
Yeah, we can chuck the interest on it as well.
But then you just have to invite me around for dinner one time
and then we'll call it concrete.
No, sorry, I'm seeing someone now.
Yeah, yeah, so am I.
But hey, it didn't work out for us, but we can...
Oh, stop it, Liam.
You're on the radio.
I can't do this.
Liam, it's Britt, Mitch and Laura.
Liam, I felt so uncomfortable.
You were brilliant.
Why on earth would you pay that?
Hey, I mean, I know it's struggling times and some people need money.
And, hey, Mitch is nice and I was just like, he'll do the same for me,
so why not?
He would not do the same for you.
You don't know Mitch.
Oh, he would.
He knows me.
You also thought Mitch was struggling.
He's fine.
He's fine.
You never know.
You never know.
He's living with his parents, so that must be true.
Must we keep bringing that up?
Liam, that is so sweet.
And, I mean, God, maybe we should go on that fourth date.
You are dating someone.
Maybe we should.
I don't know.
No, we're both happy.
We're both happy.
I don't know if we've proved anything.
I strongly suggest don't do this.
Anyone who's listening who thinks that they're going to call up their exes
and get money, it doesn't work out like this.
This is a terrible, terrible idea.
It's ask and you shall receive.
All's well that ends well.
Thanks, Liam.
See you.
You're welcome.
See you later.
Bye.
Oh, my God, what a kind man.
I think he knew he was on the radio.
I think he knew.
I think he figured it out real quick.
Totally.
If this was behind the scenes in text, you would have been, screw you.
I have a story that might make you change the way you travel.
Do you put, Britt and Mitch, do you put your address and your phone number
on like a luggage tag on your luggage when you're, you know,
traveling around the place?
Yeah.
So that if you lose your luggage, you can find it again.
Yeah, like an ID tag.
I do.
I've got like a fancy one with my initials on it.
Yeah.
You don't have anything.
I don't know.
Just raw dog it, Britt.
I think I raw dog it because you've got the sticker from the airline.
You know, they put your bag tag and stuff on it.
So you have that on there.
Well, Britt, turns out you might be doing it the safest way.
So there's a woman who's gone viral because she has,
basically she got picked up, but in a very unusual way.
So she was at the airport and she received a text message
from a guy who said, hey, I know this is an unusual way
of getting in touch, but I saw your bag tag at the terminal.
You were so beautiful that I couldn't let the opportunity go
not to speak to you, but I didn't know how to come up to you in person.
and he messaged her because he got her number from the back tag.
Creepy.
Creepy.
Only creepy if you're not into it.
If they're smoke show hot.
That's cute.
That's the problem though, right?
You don't know if they're smoke show hot.
You have no idea.
You can't shut it down then until you find out.
I'd be like, send a pic.
So everyone on the, like everybody who's joined in the conversation on this
has been saying that this is creepy AF.
But I have a theory.
I think, exactly what you said, Britt,
I think things are only creepy if you don't find the person attractive.
100%.
If you're at a bar and someone looks at you from across the room
and they're hot and they smirk at you, oh, that's hot.
That's cute.
But if they're ugly and they smirk at me, I go, where's security?
Get them evicted from the building.
It's the same thing, right?
It's like if someone slides into your DMs and like,
hey, I saw you walking across the street.
I wanted to say hi.
And it's like 70-year-old Johnny from down the street.
You're like, well, I'm not into it.
But if it's like a Hemsworth or someone, you're like, yeah, that's not creepy.
But then does this not just make us all really superficial?
Yes, it does.
Everything on attractiveness?
Yes.
Okay, well, with that in mind, I think objectively there are some things in life
that if you remove the way that someone looks,
you can decide on whether it's creepy or cute.
Oh, do you have some?
Which is why we're going to do this, creepy or cute.
Okay, this is fun.
Here we go.
I was flirting with a guy who worked in a cafe.
I went in pretty regularly and one day he put his number
on the top of my coffee cup and asked me out.
Creepy or cute?
Cute.
But then you can never go back there again if you don't like him.
There's plenty of places to get coffee.
What if that's the one place that makes a really good coffee?
It's hard because I'm really about like shooting your shot.
So I want to encourage people in the wild to get amongst it.
I think it's cute.
I think it's cute.
But how hot is he?
I reckon he just ruined her morning coffee.
All right, here we go.
I was at a bar and a guy bought me a drink.
Cute.
I had been drinking all night.
I asked how he knew what I was drinking and he said he was standing behind me earlier
and he'd heard me order it.
Oh, I think that's cute.
I think that's cute because we want people to offer us a drink, right?
You've got to check there's not like a roofie in there.
For me, if I was in a bar line and I thought the guy in front of me was red hot
and I heard him order a drink, I'd be like, that will be cute.
I know what he drinks.
That's my in.
All right, I've got another one.
I was working at a festival and some guy went through all of the event photos
to find me on Instagram and DM me.
That's creepy.
That's like, that takes time and thought.
Oh, that one's borderline, is it for you, Britt?
Well, I like the effort.
It's because Britt doesn't go clubbing,
so she can't picture it happening.
She's like, how would that feasibly happen?
I like the, no, okay, strap in.
I've got a story for you.
Okay.
Many moons ago, I was 25, very single,
and I was online dating, and I saw this guy
that I thought was so hot.
he had a dog in his very particular picture he was quite muscly and fit and cute and i i liked
his bio he was from new zealand um he had been in the navy like he had some he was a pt had very
specific things about him that i could track down i swiped him we didn't match but i was like i
wonder if i can find him i searched him until i found and i knew it's not so i ended up finding
him on facebook and i d i messaged him on facebook and said hey i know this sounds weird i saw you
online dating, but wasn't sure if we were going to match. So I just thought I'd shoot my shot and
say hi. We ended up hooking up for a week. 10 years later now, we're still really good friends.
He went and got married. We're still friends. So what I'm learning from this is that it was
fine for Brit to do it because she's hot. But if you go and try and stalk someone after seeing
them on a dating app and didn't match with them, that would be creepy. Yeah. Yeah. Affirmative.
Hey, our beautiful queen of the screen, Kate Winslet. We all love her, right?
um thank you kate winslet this is a story from 1998 believe it or not but it's making the rounds
again at the moment and i hadn't heard it until now and i now think of her differently wait till
you hear what i'm about to say actually i'm not even going to tell you i'm going to let
kate tell you herself you're in the water tank you're soaking wet you gotta go to the bathroom
you know when you gotta go you gotta go
Leah would sometimes say to me,
sweetie, sweetie, I've got a pee.
Okay, I'm a slow boy.
And so I sort of swim away for three metres.
La, la, la, la, la.
Oh, one patch, one patch.
And then swim back, swim back in.
It took too long to get out in the wet clothes.
Oh, God.
So I confess, it happened.
It happened.
Oh.
Yeah.
It really changes that scene, doesn't it?
It changes it drastically.
Also, it means he wouldn't have really died
because the pee would have warmed him up.
Jack was actually quite thermally warm.
If you think about it, when Jack drowned, bubbles came up.
That was actually just a little fart.
It made the scene.
It wasn't even Jack's breath.
It was her bubbles.
I have a question.
Are we as adults peeing in pools?
Like are we still doing that?
Oh, yeah, I let loose.
As soon as I feel that warmth hit my body, I just unleash.
No, hang on.
It's not – she hasn't just admitted that she likes to pee in a pool.
She had a reason.
To be honest, she had all these half an hour of getting in and out of corsets
and to get back into scene.
This is a huge production.
So she's like, it was easy for everyone if I just did it in the pool.
She doesn't just choose to go swimming in a resort and pee in the pool.
The reason why I asked this question is because just on the weekend,
we were at a friend's pool, my husband, myself, the two kids,
and I swam over to give my husband Matt a hug.
And as I got very close to him, I wrapped my arms around his neck.
He said to me, oh, honey, don't come close, I'm peeing.
And at that exact moment, I felt the warmth of it.
I swam into the pee.
That is the ultimate disrespect to your friend's house,
to pee in the pool.
Yeah, they're going over it.
I pee in the shower.
I pee in the pool.
It's sterile.
The shower's different.
The shower's very different.
It goes down a drain and no one else is in there
and no one else has to get in there and flounder around.
But, Britt, this is my case, okay?
You don't have a case.
Okay, I know we think it's disgusting because it is,
but I guarantee that there are more adults out there
that pee in the pool than what they would admit.
I don't think it happens.
Matt's fine with it.
He has no problems.
He thinks that it's not a deal.
He thinks everyone does it.
And I was trying to convince him that everyone doesn't do it.
Why don't we call him?
And I can let him know that I do, but Britt thinks it's disgusting.
I can tell him it's rank.
I don't think he's going to enjoy being called.
That's fine because I've already dialed it.
It's too late because you just told them.
Yeah.
He doesn't listen, I don't think.
Honey.
Hi, honey.
Hi, honey.
Look, don't hate me for this.
Funnily enough, we were talking about Kate Winslet.
You know that really famous scene where it's her and Jack on the Titanic
and she's holding Jack from drowning and they're both in a big body of water.
So it's come out that she peed in that body of water
and I was sharing about you on the weekend
and how you're okay with peeing in the pool.
And you peed on Laura.
And you peed on me.
Yes.
Matt, what part of you thinks it's okay to pee in your good friend's pool
knowing that them and their friends have to get in there
and swim through your urine stream?
What makes you think that's okay?
In my defence, I think it's a surfer thing.
I think if you ask any surfer...
I did surf.
They're all – okay, did you ever wear a wetsuit?
Yes, all the time.
Did you ever wear a wetsuit in winter when it's cold?
Yeah, I peed in my own wetsuit in the ocean.
That's different to a pool mat.
Same thing.
You're in a body of water.
Would you say that you do it pretty much every time you go for a swim in a pool
or is it just like a one-off occurrence?
Only at friends' houses.
Now that I've conditioned my body over such a long period of time
to be used to peeing in pools and spas,
Because it's almost like even if I don't have to, my body just does it.
You're actually all disgusting.
Yeah, I agree with you, Britt.
You were fine.
You were defending your husband two seconds ago.
Now I have an ick for my own husband.
Because we also have a scar.
Laura, you liked it when I was peeing on you.
Oh, stop it.
It's a kink.
It's not.
There's children in cars.
Thanks, Maddie J.
We love you.
That's an exclusive, everyone.
You
