The Best of the Pick Up - Lemon's Law and How Long Can You Keep A Pregnancy Test?
Episode Transcript
This episode was recorded on Cama ragle Land.
Speaker 2Hi guys, and welcome back to another episode of Life.
Speaker 1I'm Cad, I'm Laura.
Speaker 3You know what Brittany, No, that was that.
Speaker 1Was Spider Man.
Speaker 2Oh 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.
Speaker 1I air finger you, but britt just does this.
Speaker 2Now, this is like stretch and sweep symbol where she like she puts like both her middle and her index fingers up and then slides them in together and then.
Speaker 1Pretends like she's going to stretch and Sweepney.
Yeah, I don't even know that's how you do it.
I think it's close.
I don't think they put four things in.
Speaker 2Though we've spoken about stretching and sweeps way too much on this part recently.
Speaker 1Well you brought it up again.
Speaker 3Sorry?
Speaker 1Sorry?
Do you think you figure the air in front of me?
This is our radio show.
I Spider Man, I literally Spider Man.
Speaker 4You.
Speaker 1I didn't try to do anything inappropriate, Pope, Yeah, I was like get it.
Look, this is it's the pick up.
Speaker 2So every week, you guys know, we're on national radio across the country and we package up all the best bits.
Speaker 1So that's what's here.
Hopefully you enjoy it.
Then hey, this week.
Speaker 3It surprises me when I learn a new term in the dating world.
I feel like I was always really up to speeding 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.
Speaker 2That'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 twenty minutes a time ten twenty.
That's like you can suffer through twenty You've got a name, doesn't it.
Speaker 1It does have a name.
Speaker 3It's a law that 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.
Speaker 1You know, like we all know that you don't want to be on a date.
Speaker 3You 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 twenty minutes to save hurting someone's feelings, Like unless it's something where you feel you're like unsafe and you're getting spidy vibes, like your spidy senses are tinkling.
Speaker 1Tinkling, your spidy senses a tinkling?
How do you want to stay on your date?
Speaker 3But I think it's if it's if it's not, you know, I mean it's like a balancing.
Speaker 2Now 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 nicety's perspective that they've made the effort to come there and sit down and have a coffee with you or a 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.
Speaker 1But that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3That's why I said 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, save someone's feelings?
Speaker 1I don't know.
Speaker 3I wouldn't do it, and 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, so you're yeah, you know, I would say I would stick it out and say, hey, sorry, my nun's giving birth.
Speaker 1I gotta go.
Speaker 2That's a great see I'm gonna go watch my hand out.
Look mad did something.
So on the podcast on Two Donting Dads, he found my pregnancy test, which I had planned on showing him.
Speaker 1Wasn't like I was.
I'm holding my pregnancy tests, but.
Speaker 2I kept them in a drawer because, as you guys know, I found out.
Speaker 1So he knows you're pregnant.
Well, I found out that I.
Speaker 2Was pregnant when he wasn't here exactly, Brittany, God, he finally knows.
Speaker 1I wanted to surprise him at the birth.
No, may you found my pregnancy test?
Speaker 2And then he added me on two Dotting Dads by asking the question is it weird to hold on to a stick that you've pissed on?
Speaker 1Okay?
Speaker 2And 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.
Speaker 3So 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 on light 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 five hundred times, so.
Speaker 1She is that's too many times.
It's four hundred.
I don't know you've seen the Titanic.
Speaker 2It's four hundred and ninety five times too many.
Speaker 1That's for sure.
I was gonna say four ninety nine.
Yeah, look like I feel like it's one.
Speaker 2I think.
Speaker 1No, Look, let's give her some grace.
You can.
Speaker 2You watched it once years ago, you maybe watched it again recently, and that's cute.
Speaker 1Well, five hundred times obsessed.
Speaker 3She's so obsessed that she has decided to turn her apartment into a replica of the Titanic, so she lives with just her dog.
Speaker 2Of course she does.
That's why she lives with the dog.
Speaker 1Yes, human, but I need to have a look Laura.
On the next page.
I've got some boats there.
Speaker 3The entire apartment is a replica of the Titanic.
You walk in and it's like you're underwater.
She has done like blue cellar Phane.
Speaker 2Sorry, couldn't she have done the Titanic pre drowning?
Like why did she choose post shipwreck?
Speaker 1I don't know.
It's like half sunk.
The water is flooding in it.
It's a bad time.
Speaker 2She's got She's got bits of boat like boat debris just into the wall and everything is painted blue.
Speaker 1If I was going to go for a Titanic error, I'd go above water.
I to go for the sex scene.
Yeah, okay, that's a bit much.
Speaker 2But Leonard DiCaprio was a twenty five year olds in there.
Speaker 1Stick with me, Stick with me.
Speaker 3It'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.
Speaker 1So like, imagine you're on a date because this woman is smoke show she's super hot.
Speaker 3Imagine 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?
Speaker 1Would you still do it?
Or would you leave?
No, you'd leave.
Speaker 2You'd be like, oh, I think is absolutely that crazy.
Speaker 1I need to get out of here.
No, I think you'd stay just for one night and then you leave.
Speaker 2Yeah, you know, having a committed relationship.
This reminds me of many moons ago when I I'd broken up with the next boyfriend.
I'd moved into like the smaller room in the house.
Speaker 1The house.
Speaker 2It was like a one bedroom house, but it also had like kind of an oversized study would call it that, right, it only fit a king single in 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 just I was in my twenties.
Speaker 1I could not afford it in money.
Speaker 2Yeah, and so anyway, I'd gone on this date and had gone really well, and I was like, I'm 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 brought me a bedspread which I'd put on the bed because my other linen was Yeah, my linen was in the washing machine and it was a Harry Potter bedspread.
Speaker 1And I was twenty five.
Speaker 2Yeah, and I was like, I hate myself right now, and you can.
Speaker 1Stay all leave And did you say say you're looking to add a W to your collection?
Was that you pick up line?
Because that's what I would have got.
I would have doubled down.
I just made a joke.
Speaker 5No.
Speaker 1I remember going to your magic wand are you just happen to see me?
Exactly?
It's too much?
Not it's brilliant.
They would have loved it.
I hate myself.
No.
Speaker 3I remember going to back to a guy's house that he was great, but he just had like a stuffed toy collection and I just just doesn't equate to like sexiness.
Speaker 2Okay, question was it on the bed or was it just in the room everywhere?
Speaker 5Oh?
Speaker 1Wow?
Yeah someone Yeah that was a color.
How old was he?
Speaker 3Ah, probably like twenty six at the time.
I'm trying to think how long ago it was.
Was it themed at all or just a variety of stuff toys.
Speaker 1It was pre themed.
Yeah, it was an animal theme.
Speaker 3I mean sorry, it was animal Australian animal theme too, but definitely an animal theme.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Look, I mean these people are doing it to themselves obviously, Like she's decorated her house in Titanic theme, but we still dated.
It wasn't that much, Okay, it didn't turn you off completely.
Speaker 1I had to hide them.
Was I'm going to push them to the side?
Speaker 2Did you just put them under the bed every time you come over, like Koala goes under the bed?
Speaker 1Now, Laura, you love a dinner party?
Do I?
Speaker 3Apparently I've never invited, but you do love a dinner party.
Speaker 2That's not true that you've never been invited once.
Whenever we have a dinner party, you're invited.
Speaker 1But I'm not.
Speaker 2I'm not one to throw them anymore.
I'm too pregnant and I have too many children.
Speaker 1It's annoying.
Well, I want to get your take on this.
Speaker 3This 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.
Speaker 1Hey, guys, come to my house.
Let's have a cute let's have.
Speaker 3A dinner party.
So the girls like, yeah, that sounds great.
So it wasn't like an order takeaway.
It was a dinner party.
Speaker 1So a few of them are like, what can I bring?
Speaker 2You know?
Speaker 3One brought a bottle of wine or whatever else and some chips and snacks at the start.
Speaker 1What you do, like turn up with something.
Speaker 2If 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.
Speaker 1Yeah.
So they went had their dinner, it was all lovely, went home.
Speaker 3The next day they all got a message in the group chat that was a request for eighteen dollars fifty each, and that money was for the dinner party that she had thrown the night before.
Speaker 1For the ingredients in total.
Speaker 3Yeah, for the Yeah, I mean it's not a tip for a service, I guess.
Speaker 1But it's like it was for like, this.
Speaker 3Is what I spent on all the food and drinks and getting everything.
Speaker 1Can you guys chip in?
Speaker 3But the girls were all sort of like, well, hang on, we thought we thought you just inviteds over for dinner.
Speaker 1We didn't know it was anyway, It's caused.
Speaker 3A bit of a rift in the group, and it's like asking the question, should you have to pay if a friend advice to dinner?
Speaker 2No, 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 messing me the next day and said, oh, hey, hon, do you mind transferring me eighteen dollars because they pay it, I'd.
Speaker 1Just pay it.
Speaker 2I wouldn't be getting on Reddit and complaining about it.
Speaker 1I'd just pay It's eighteen bar Well.
Speaker 3I 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.
Speaker 1Is this normal?
Speaker 2Like every so often these things happen 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, it's kind of an expectation that you're cooking for them and you're not expecting them to pay her.
Speaker 3Way unless so a girlfriend asked me over on the weekend.
Speaker 1There were four of us girls.
Speaker 3Hey, 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.
Speaker 2Yeah, 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, oh, come in mind, but I'll cook.
She just had a really skewed misconception around how that was going to go.
Speaker 3Well, look, I went down a bit of a rabbit hole on this thread.
I feel like this is not uncharted territory.
Speaker 1Like 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 for it.
What about sandwich guy?
Speaker 3Yeah, I had a guy that bought me a sandwich on a date and then mate walked me to an ATM to get twenty dollars out.
In fact, the sandwich was like eighteen dollars, like a me two dollar tip.
He didn't he didn't give me two dollars back.
Speaker 1That was the generosity of walking him to the ATM.
No.
Speaker 3But there was this one woman that was like, she went on a date with a thirty.
Speaker 1Year old guy.
Speaker 3They 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 fris?
Speaker 1Like how hungry are you?
Anyway, the next day she woke.
Speaker 3Up to a venmo request for three dollars twenty five and the note was, Hey, this is for the fries that we shared three dollars after a date.
Speaker 2No, but like you know what though, these people are not getting second date?
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 I actually think, if anything, that guy's 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 twenty five?
And then she's going to go to all a 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.
Speaker 1That's pretty good.
I reckon that's what it is.
I reckon that's what it is.
Speaker 2I don't think any guy's got that my energy grit.
If I tell you a secret, will you tell your husband?
Oh?
Speaker 1I mean, how long's a piece of string?
What does the secret?
If I was like that you wet yourself, probably y'all, I'll tell him.
What's No?
I need content?
Speaker 2No, there doesn't need to be content.
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.
Speaker 3I 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.
Speaker 2Mean unless it if it affects me, you'll still tell him, because clearly I'm sensitive about having a rash somewhere.
Speaker 1No, if it affected me or him somehow.
Speaker 3But if you just said, hey, don't tell anyone this, and then you told me, I wouldn't tell him.
Speaker 2No, all right, Producer Grace, I 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, and you're also fired.
I'm just thinking about all the secrets I've told Grace and Diana.
Speaker 1Now great.
Speaker 2The 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 long term married or committed relationship.
Speaker 1So hang on, do you tell your husband Matt my secrets?
I tell Matt most things, So you tell Matt my secret?
Speaker 3So you just got angry at Grace, but you tell Matt my secret.
Speaker 2I can't think of any secrets you've told me.
Speaker 1I mean, Matt did tell the world my wedding dates.
Speaker 2Yeah, you guys don't know this, but so Britt kept her actual wedding date a secret because to be fair, I.
Speaker 1Didn't tell him that though.
He was invited to the wedding and the location.
Speaker 2So Matt was invited to the wedding and the location, and they did some pre records on his podcast two Dotting Dad's and he just mixed up date and on the day of BRIT's wedding, he was like, oh, yeah, we went to Balley for BRIT's wedding, and then said the date of what when the wedding.
Speaker 1Go was doing for the wedding had happened.
Speaker 2He'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.
Speaker 1So we can establish but has no broken.
Speaker 2Okay, 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.
Speaker 1I did read something somewhere from someone.
Speaker 3Important and wise fact that's coming someone Wise once said on some study that's someone funded, but that we cannot fly No that basically it se impossible.
Nobody doesn't tell somebody a secret, like almost.
Speaker 1No one Days of the Graved how they studied that.
Speaker 3But 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, is like, as humans, we can't take something to the grave.
Speaker 1Well, how serial killers even get found out.
Speaker 2You'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.
Speaker 1I don't know how I feel about it.
Speaker 2But I do admire people who have the ability to receive a secret and not tell a single soul, not even their romantic partner.
Speaker 3I mean, now that you guys outed yourself first, I would tell Ben for sure.
Speaker 1I was taken a high road because you asked me first.
Speaker 2I 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, KaiA, she's been like my closest friend for gosh more than ten 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.
Speaker 1She was like, I don't know on your finger.
I was like, I know you're with the guy.
Speaker 2Like anyway, I was like, you cannot tell anyone, you can't share it with anyone, and.
Speaker 1She was like, Laura, I can keep a secret.
I'll take it to the grave.
Speaker 2Her husband went and put bets on for me to lose, so he thought I didn't get chosen, so.
Speaker 1She lost money off it.
Speaker 2And when it came to the finale, he was like, wait, you knew and you never told me.
And Kyle was like, well, it wasn't my secret to tell.
Speaker 1And I just I was so in.
Speaker 2Awe of her ability to keep a secret, because I was like, you're a better woman than I am.
Speaker 1Also, but there's a different one.
Speaker 3There's NDAs in the picture, like you've sigwn NDAs in and they're so scary that you're led to believe that, like I was led to believe the CIA would come out.
Speaker 2I still told her, and she kept the secret better than I did.
Like I couldn't even keep it.
Speaker 1It was my nda too fair.
I would have told man Brittany, Yes, Laura, stop the press.
Speaker 2There'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, isn't.
Speaker 1Like a new record set somewhere every day?
Speaker 2Well, 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 yeah, like the nineteen ninety nine 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 one hundred meters, like sprint one hundred meters 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.
Speaker 3Hear 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.
Speaker 1So when it's all together it forms like a floor.
Speaker 2I don't know if I would agree with that.
I've run over full lego before and I'm buckled down to the ground.
So they had three one hundred kilograms of lego, which they'd sprayed out like splay out along this trail, and she ran it in twenty four point seventy five seconds, which I don't know how that equates to like a normal one hundred meters sprint.
Speaker 1I'm not I'm not a runner, not an athletic.
I'm pretty sure it's like ten seconds, so that's pretty fast.
Speaker 2Twenty four seconds is pretty fast if you're running it over lego.
Or is it that a slow jog?
I can't tell.
Speaker 3I mean I saw her, I did see her running it.
It wasn't a smooth run and most certainly wasn't a sprint.
Grace, what is the world record?
Speaker 5So the women's one hundred meters world record is ten point four nine seconds fast.
Speaker 2I 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.
She was like rallied on by her kids who were running alongside her.
Speaker 1I don't get it.
I don't get why anyone.
Speaker 3I 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, that's only eleven It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1Why do we care?
And why are we setting the records?
And like you could beat that, Laura, do you want to take that from eleven?
Do you know what I would do this?
Speaker 2I would absolutely do this, So I would smash this eleven year old into smithery.
Speaker 1But do you want to know how many snails there were?
Speaker 2Yes, forty three, which I think that that's an achievable amount.
My face is bigger than eleven year old.
We could collect more snails.
Speaker 1You would have that in the bag.
Speaker 2And then also the most eggs crushed with the head conquered by Ashrita with eighty eggs in one minute.
Speaker 1I think you could do that too.
I reckon I could smash eighty eight.
Speaker 2Maybe we need to do a day where we just try and beat at least one world record.
Speaker 1You can do about it, can do it.
I don't know if it's pregnancy safe.
Speaker 2Maybe I'll do it postpardon, but I could do the eighty.
Speaker 1Eggs 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 said?
If you could?
Speaker 2I like this last one we've written down here.
It's cycling backwards with a violin.
I can't do that, so that one is quite impressive.
Speaker 1Well, don't mind that.
Away from him.
It was Christian Adam.
He serves a name.
Speaker 2Mine would be picking things up with my feet, like I'll try and pick up the most of things with my feet in a minute.
Speaker 1Why don't you do that?
Let's google if that's a record?
Is it a record?
All right?
Speaker 5The Guinness World Record for the most golf balls picked up with feet in one minute is fourteen fourteen?
Speaker 1But is hard?
That's a hard thing to pick up?
You back down?
Speaker 2Is there anything else?
Speaker 1Like?
Speaker 2I don't know if I could pick up a golf ball?
Speaker 5Most tennis ball touches using the feet in one minute?
Speaker 1Wait?
What do you mean the touch?
I could touch a tennis ball with my feet?
Speaker 5So someone touched a tennis ball with a foot two hundred and fifty eight times.
Speaker 1You know, going like one two?
Speaker 3I reckon you could pick up a golf ball?
Or that's fourteen is achievedble?
I've seen you pick up a banana.
I've seen you pick up a weight.
Speaker 1I 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 fourteen golf ball.
Do you know what I could do?
Speaker 2I could pick up forty eight snails with my feet.
Speaker 1And that would be a new record.
I don't think that is.
Did you ever have.
Speaker 2Any nicknames as a kid that's stuck?
Speaker 1Yes, I absolutely did, like what pretty titty pee head?
Speaker 3Oh yeah, so I don't really want to me to unpack my trauma.
Speaker 1I have a small head.
More for my body, it always has been.
Speaker 3I wear very extensions and a fake fringe to give myself some more size.
Speaker 1It really.
Speaker 3I have to wear an extra small hat, and most helmets don't fit me.
Speaker 2I 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.
Speaker 1But your head's that's when I first discussed.
Speaker 2That's when I discovered that you have a deceptively small head.
Speaker 3Your head though doesn't look small, it doesn't look small.
Speaker 2Carry it well, yeah, thank you, But it's really tiny.
Speaker 1It's small.
How old were you when you started getting called pa head?
Quite a long time, most of my life.
Speaker 3But I have other nicknames to sea Biscuit is my family calls me sea Biscuit.
Speaker 1Isn't that a horse?
Yes, it is a horse, a very famous horse.
Let's not go into why I'm called seabiscit my family.
Speaker 3A big nickname is My sister's nickname is Shrek, which is unfortunate.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's really mean, Like you know that you're not the love sister.
Speaker 1You get called Shrek from a child?
Yeah, we didn't have any Yeah, it wasn't good.
Speaker 2Actually, 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 through getting your d chicken nuggets and then you're like, oh, cramp, isn't there some.
Speaker 3Room about McDonald's fries and like bringing on birth and stuff like the salt or something.
Speaker 2No, 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.
Speaker 3Imagine mcgrimmist what m Grimace, But I was just making a joke.
Sorry, grim missed out the pregnancy of birth.
Speaker 1So anyway, Look, she gave birth.
Speaker 2They 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.
Speaker 1Oh no, imagine.
Speaker 2Your 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.
Speaker 3You just lie, You just say it was after the Matilda's the soccer roos.
Speaker 1Yeah, that's why I say, isn't it.
No one is.
Speaker 3Going into flexing and say mum had a big mac and then called me after.
Speaker 1Surely, if you're a.
Speaker 2Woman and you're giving birth in a mcdonnald'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.
Speaker 1Sort of kickback for that.
Maybe we can start something a petition for.
Speaker 2That, we should because that's the type of things we should really throw our weight behind.
I was almost not that was a nick name, but I was almost named Laura Ashley.
So my full name is Laura Ann Burn for anyone who doesn't know, But.
Speaker 1Why would anyone know?
My middle name Laura.
Speaker 2Ann 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 actually sounds great.
And then when I think it was like just before I was born, or potentially like i'd just been born, and.
Speaker 1My dad was like, where did that actually come from?
Speaker 2Because usually a middle name is like a family name or something just has some meaning.
And my mom story goes.
Speaker 1My mum was like, well they were the sheets that she was conceived on.
Speaker 2Sure, And so my middle name was changed in that moment from Ashley to Anne.
Thank God, not imagine getting around saying my name's Laura Ashley because my mum and dad boned on some linen.
Speaker 1I don't know.
Speaker 3It's better story than mine.
My middle name is Mayo.
You do with that what you will.
Speaker 1Here's your imagination.
Speaker 2How long do you think is acceptable to keep hold of a used pregnancy test?
Could be positive, maybe you're holding onto a negative one.
Whatever, no judgment here.
Speaker 1How do we on it?
Cap back on or cap not on?
Speaker 3The guy I was about to say, probably depends on the storage.
Are you wrapping that up and gladder app Is it in a container?
Is it just floating around your pantry.
Speaker 2Touching things that you pantry with the tiny daddies?
Okay, I feel maybe I'm doing things wrong.
I feel personally victimized 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 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 wile Matt's away?
And I thought, O, 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.
Speaker 1Funnily enough, they were all positive.
And I did a lot of pregnancy tests.
Anyway.
Speaker 2I had it in my head that I was going to show Matt the pregnancy test when he came home, and then I just kind of forgot about it.
I put them in the bathroom drawer.
I've got you're pregnant, or I knew I was prayed.
I forgot I had the test.
So I have so many of them.
They were all positive, and they were all in my draw Anyway, it turns out that Matt came across them.
Speaker 1Not only did he come across.
Speaker 2Them, 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 Doting Dads, And this is the discussion that they had.
How long are you allowed to keep a pregnancy tests?
Four a positive one?
Speaker 1Do people hold on to these?
Is it you should get rid of it?
Speaker 2Why?
Speaker 1I don't know.
Speaker 2Dudes, give it back, bro, this is something your wife's peede on, You're welcome.
Speaker 3I think they're discussing parts that Matt threw it at his cost, not the fact that you kept it.
That man's gaslighting you.
Speaker 2The comments around this were so divided.
Some people like that is repulsive cat backcasting.
Speaker 1I can't remember if the cat was on.
I might have been.
I think it was on some of them.
I think it wasn't on others.
It's different flesh.
Speaker 3If it's not capt up, like if you're keeping practice, he test your capital.
Speaker 1It's not wrapped in back.
It's really a different flex maggot.
I think I want to keep one, though I think it's I don't know.
Speaker 3You do another one now you've got a week, go and do one, and I'm assuming it's going to be positive.
Speaker 2I mean people keep all weird kinds of things that are sentimental.
One of our friends their mum kept their four skin that are being chopped off.
Not normal, there's no decision skin they can kept it.
Speaker 3The only thing my mum 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.
Speaker 2So I kept Lola's fringe, so she got her haircup only at fringe, and I kept the fringe clippings.
It's so it's creepy, Grace, what.
Speaker 1Have you kept?
My mom has all my baby teeth still.
Oh that's not that's giving serial killer it is.
She said she.
Speaker 5Felt weird throwing them out, but I didn't really want to keep them, so now just has them because she didn't know what to do with them, so.
Speaker 1She just hays a little pot of teeth.
What she going to pass those on too?
And your inherited hope.
Speaker 2It's one weird thing that we get requests for all the time, Like as a jewelry design art's like's my other job.
We get so many requests to turn all types of weird things into jewelry.
And baby teeth is one of the things.
Like ground down baby teeth, someone wanted to turn it.
Speaker 1Into a ring.
There's 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.
Speaker 3If somebody can trump that, if somebody's parents are keeping something weirder than that you win.
Speaker 1Well, for'll find something for you to win more than that.
Speaker 2It's slide into our DMS at the pickup as well.
But I also want to know, like, what is the timeframe?
Am I a creep?
Speaker 1Because how long should I keep this pregnancy test?
For?
Forever?
Speaker 3Until I found out that Matt was throwing it around, you were a bit creepy.
Speaker 1Now Matt's a creep.
You're fined.
You've got nothing to worry about.
Speaker 2Yeah, I've always thought my husband was the creeping out of relationships, so that's fine.
Speaker 3So I want to talk about a new law now, not a law that you can be sent.
Speaker 1To prison for.
Wait, is it law's law?
Are we bringing that segment back?
Nome?
It is a law in the dating world.
Speaker 3So 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 forty minutes to get me.
I'm never attempting to put myself out there again.
I can't stop thinking about it.
Speaker 1You would actually be so hurt.
Yeah, so these guy's driven, like, forty minutes is a long way to go for a date.
Speaker 3Picture up, She's 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.
Speaker 2I really I need to know what he said, Like, how do you just return serb and just reverse the car back in and be like all right, that was nice.
Speaker 3I think you just say thank you next in the words of Ariana Grande.
But I think the interesting thing to come up 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.
Speaker 1Duh, Lemon's law, Lemons law, Lemons 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.
Speaker 2But I didn't watch it religiously, so I still don't know what Lemon's law is.
Speaker 1Well, no, I didn't either.
Speaker 3But Barney Stinson, you know he's paid played by Neil Patrick Harris.
Speaker 1He apparently, on the show invented Lemon's law.
Speaker 4So listen last night, Epiphany, I realized what the world of dating needs.
Ready, a Lemon law.
Speaker 1A Lemon law like for cars.
Speaker 4Exactly from the moment that day 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 planning.
See you never huh huh.
Speaker 1The Lemon law, it's going to be a thing.
Speaker 2Does the Lemon law actually exist for cars?
Like, if you drive that out of a driveway and it starts sputtering, you'll turn around and be like, sorry, Well that's.
Speaker 1Where it came from.
So in a Lemon law in the US.
Speaker 3That was a law to protect people from buying cars that were like defunct, So you could buy it and if it didn't drive prop in five minutes, you could return it.
Speaker 2So okay, hear me out, though, being referred to as a lemon as a human is pretty mean.
Now, I do you know what at the point, no hard feelings, it's fine, we go on the merry lives.
If someone took me home after five minutes and said she's a lemon, So I'm not going to commit my night to well, I think i'd be pretty.
Speaker 1Personally if she's calling you a lemon.
Speaker 3But 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 whilso 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?
Speaker 1Is it okay?
I don't know.
Speaker 2I 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 twenty minutes if you want to.
Speaker 1But five minutes when you've picked them up in.
Speaker 2A car and you've just spun it around and driven them back to the house feels rough.
Speaker 1It's mortifying.
I wouldn't be putting on TikTok this girl.
I don't know, Britt.
Have you ever had someone pull a date early?
That'd be ridiculous, I will know.
No, I haven't, but I have one wanted to leave dates.
Speaker 2Early, but you pity stayed, didn't you?
You stayed longer?
Yeah, that's what most people do, one of the schnitzel.
Speaker 3But 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.
Speaker 1There's a very different feel when you were texting.
Speaker 3You can have great bant with someone when it's back and forward online, and then you meet them.
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.
Speaker 1Lured the hell out of those dates.
But because I don't want to hurt people's feelings, I was the same.
I think I stayed on dates for like you said, relationships, not dates.
You relationship for like a decades.
You shouldn't have been in.
Speaker 2I know we were talking about earlier, but like how things come back in fashion, like they come round in circles, like like you clip in fringe you've got going on today.
Speaker 3Well, I'm not convinced that this was ever in fashion, but I buck the trends, Laura.
Speaker 1The fringe is here to day.
Speaker 2But like you know, I'm talking everything.
Skinny leg jeans, they were in fashion years ago, then they came out, then they're back.
Speaker 1In I know what.
Speaker 3I hate this back in Oh tell me low rise jeans again, the ones that barely covered the pubic hair.
Speaker 1They're coming back.
Speaker 2Yeah, but I like them when I was a teenager.
The thing is, the only people that can wear it are teenagers or girls in their twenties.
I just don't think anyone should wear them like men in boxer shorts hanging out the top of their pants.
Speaker 1I don't think that's back in fashion.
Speaker 2Yeah that bizar, Yeah, that is 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 realized 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?
Speaker 1Oh, how could I forget?
I killed many tamagotchies.
Speaker 2I 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, and well yeah, because all day you got to clean up the pooh, got to make sure they're.
Speaker 1Fared, You got to wash them like, never mind you it's just a button.
You just press a button to clean them.
Proof it is.
Speaker 2But 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 pre loaded 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 and night things like Pip Pip Pip.
Anyway, my nan bless her deep soul.
She's not with us anymore.
She expired after having to take care of too many tamagotchi.
Speaker 1That's death by tamagotchi.
It's a big goal.
Speaker 2She 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.
Speaker 1And it is a tamagotchi.
Speaker 2And apparently every kid in primary school now has them, and they're back in fashion.
Speaker 3Are they back as in like they've gotten their parents' old tamagotchis or have they made them like a modern day.
Speaker 2There'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.
Speaker 1Feel like they're more yeah swipe up.
Speaker 3I feel like they're more technical now, which surely they haven't just brought back like the humble Pooh tamagotchi.
Speaker 1It's pretty humble, it's pretty straight.
Yet it's pretty similar.
Speaker 5You know.
Speaker 3I'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.
Speaker 1Ferbies.
No, I didn't have a ferby the Yoho Diablo cast your minds back.
Speaker 3Remember it was like two sticks and a string and it was like you would bounce it and do and like these tricks.
Speaker 1When we were in Cans.
Speaker 2Recently, there was a guy out in the park who was playing with the Yoho Diablou and I was like, wow, that is really a blast in the past.
But I mean, I think it's similar to all 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 Yoyo's, then there was.
Speaker 1A mad phase of Taso's.
Speaker 2In our generation, I didn't have tazod phase of ferbies.
Like I remember getting a Ferbie and being so upset.
The ferbies 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 Molly 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 tamagotchi's in the bedroom.
It made me really 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.
Speaker 1You absolutely have.
It does happen when you grew up, Laura.
But remember sorry, I'm still in the Yoho dialogue.
Remember you thought you were so cool, but you would used to.
Speaker 3Have to whip one hand really quickly to get it speeding like whip.
Then you'd whip it across like you were like, I was never any good Appa, And then you would you would pull it tight.
Everyone's listening nose right now, and it would go like thirty meters.
Speaker 1In the end you had to catch it on the string.
Again.
I was elite.
I was really really good.
I might get one.
You should bring back Genu what you heard it here?
First the pick up, but you're going to bring back the Yoho.
I have a lot
