This episode was recorded on Cameragle Land. Hi, guys, and welcome back to another episode of Life Uncut. I'm Laura, I'm Brittany, and this is our radio show where we package up all the best bits every week of the pickup and we bring it here just for you. Guys. Our life is.
We love you. Are you talking so seductively?
It's been a big day.
It has been a really big it's been a big week.
It's been a big year. It's been a big life. So fun.
I'm tired.
Yeah, yeah, June's I mean May. May has been a big year.
It really has. Hey, do you know what though, I had a really good time on this show. This was great, No, I really did. And I told a story last week. I talked about how Marley dreaming naked at school and everyone now knows what the state of my downstairs puby care is like that for me, But also you want to know who also knows about my downstairs pubycaret No, the electrician down in Alada. I'll tell you all about why you coming up on the show. I like to be naked. I'm a naked person if I'm not at work and I'm at home and not in front of my mother in law. I'm naked.
I love nudity too. Nudity also comes with limits. You live in your own so you can be naked all the time. I was about to say saying I don't want people turn up to my house. Yeah, IM naked a lot, but I don't want to give too much.
Here's the question.
Don't up in my bushes.
I don't have to give you address. It's okay. I have a question for you. At what age do you think you'd stop being naked in front of your kids.
I can't answer this, it'll get me into trouble. But I also don't have kids, so I don't know. But I I just think nudity is a beautiful thing to age.
Also, is it different of your kids are daughters verse suns?
Yes, there's a lot to it.
That's not enough to time to unpack it now, So I don't know why you ask lives the deepest question right now?
Sorry?
So?
Also, what do you think the meaning of life is?
Okay? You know what I loved this week? I also had a great week this week, or it wasn't just you. I had a brilliant week.
No, something that I really want to I want to make this a thing, like I want to bring this onto the radio show, onto the pod.
Missed connections.
You know when you've locked eype across the train station platform and you've thought, oh my god, there's a moment, there's chemistry, there's heat, that's my person, that could be my person.
I might go over and talk to them.
Then the train comes, they get on the train, and they go away and you're never gonna see him again. And for the rest of that week, you're like, I feel like something's missing in my life and I need to find that person.
So you go and post it online and you try and look for them.
You standing on the platform, green shirt, locked eyes, platform four at Waterloo whatever. We have the funniest misconnection on the show today, But it's made me want to do it in real life, Like it's made me want to find a misconnection for you guys.
So please let us know.
Slide into Life Uncut podcast DMS, email us the pickup DMS. Let us know if there's you've had that moment with someone you haven't been able to stop thinking about them, we want to help.
You find them.
Can I just say, it's a real fine line between being cute and creepy, right, the line is so thin between the two. Usually it comes down to whether or not you're attracted to the person as to whether it's like endearing or creepy.
Yeah, but what happens is if they think it's creepy, they're not going to respond, Like if you make up the paper and you're like, oh my god, that was me on platform four in the green shirt. If you're not into it, you don't respond. But if you are into it, maybe they were equally trying to find you.
All Right, Well, like that and so much more is on the show. Get let's get into it now, Britt. I want to talk about something that I feel like most parents have been faced with at one point in another, and that is the poon ARMI the poon army with no tools. If you have little kids and you've forgotten a nappy, or you've forgotten wives, or it's been explosive and you've forgotten a change of clothes. Everyone has had to deal with something going very wrong and having to come up with a quick and fast and hard solution.
Okay, is this one of your kids. They're not in nappies anymore, are they?
Noah, I've got a five year old, four year old. It's been a long time since we've dealt with a poon army. This is off the back. There's a woman who's going viral online because she has shared what seemingly is quite a resourceful solution to a poon army that she experienced. However, the whole sit situation sounds like an absolute disaster if you ask me. So, they're on an international flight, it is three thirty in the morning, and she has realized that she didn't pack a spare nappy for her one and a half year old. This little kid.
Looks like on an overnight flight.
On an overnight imagine waking up at three thirty in the morning to a turd and being like, oh God, here we go, Here we go, Code brown everyone. So what she did is she didn't have a nappy. She had wipes, but she had panty liners, like her own panty liners. So she slid a panty liner into the nappy. I'm guessing to try and absorb as much of the excess fluid and everything else as possible. No, which you know what I heard about. Like, I read this and I was like, I guess it would kind of work, But I'm left with a lot of questions.
I feel very sorry for her because I can't imagine. I have not been in a position, but I would imagine on a flight, like an overseas overnight flight, there are a lot of people on there.
There is guaranteed to be other families with kids.
I'd be patrolling those aisles until I found like another mum and begging for a nappy.
That's what I'd be doing.
You know what that is that has spoken like a true dog mum who's gotten to the dog park and didn't have a bag. That is a true dog mum response because I didn't even clock that one.
I would That seems like the most obvious solution.
Do you know why? Because I think if you went and asked someone else for a nappy, the judgment of like, why didn't you pack enough nappies? Like I just wouldn't even think to ask someone for a nappy.
I wouldn't you just say, hey, they've pood wait more than I would have thought.
That's also what dog people say. So when like your dog.
Is poody, you've run out a back like sorry, they usually do one, they've done like.
Four, but realistically you just left with one rogue bag, and I was it. I will never forget. I was on a flight and it was an international flight, but it was a day flight. We're going to Balley and you know, that's a six hour flight. And the family that was sitting directly in front of me had a little baby, and I also had my kids with me, so like we were surrounded by kids and their little daughter. I think she must have been about maybe two, So that's not like baby baby like two. Is that is blown toddler territory. Yeah, And everyone could smell that someone had pooed their pants, like it was very evident in the whole of that area of the seating, and so everyone was kind of quietly being like, oh, who is And I sniffed both my kids and I was like, my kids, it's not me the you know, I'm not responsible for this anyway. Ten minutes later, the family in front she just lays the little girl down on the seat and uses the seat that's right next to her as the change table to change the nappy, like starts fully changing the nappy in the middle of her.
Is that like a no go?
I don't know. No, you have to take them to the toilet and use their fold out change it. I think it's okay to change a nappy in lots of places, like I'm a change nappy on the go kind of goal, but absolutely not in a packed flight where every single other person has to sit there and smell your kid, Like that's to me that was writ them down on someone's lap. No, No, absolutely not anyway, so much so that the air flight hostess came over and she was like, I'm really sorry, but you cannot that there. You have to go to the toilet, Like yeah, that's fair. She looked horrified.
Also, the walk of.
Shame, like when you've got to then stand up with a stinky baby and everyone's like, oh you're already because you're like you've already stunk out the cabin.
Then you got to walk a shame like the next.
The smell's got nowhere to go, it's got nowhere to go.
Heard pucking nappies and go to the toilet.
I do feel sorry for it, because, like I said, I've been caught out before, and you really have to get resourceful, like you really have to think about like what is it that I can use? Do you want it down there with some toilet paper? Like what do you do to try and save your kid from a from a nappyless punami situation.
Give me for taking this side step, but this is where my brain has gone. When you just said being resourceful. I do remember a time that you did a poop. So what Yeah you, Laura, you did a poop and you Oh.
This is really taking a side step. And I don't know if you need to talk about this on radio.
Yeah, you already spoke about it on radio. You've just reminded me. You already forget that. You outed yourself.
You did a poop and you there was any toilet paper, so you went into your handbag and you found one of the girl's socks.
Yeah, that was That was a low point in my life. That was a low point.
Without talking about being resourceful, You've got to do what you got to do.
Yeah, I was reading this Reddit thread Laura. That gave me a bit of a chuckle, and it reminded me of a couple of things I've done in the past and something that I've heard you throw.
Around a little bit.
Okay, what have I done? Now?
Well this could go either way, but this woman was talking about this awkward encounter she had with her boss and the way she signed off a phone call.
So this is her thread. I accidentally said I love.
You at the end of a call with an important client yesterday. I heard him giggle as I hung up, and I was absolutely mortified. Today I received an email from him. Now, imagine the fact that you've had this awkward moment you said I love you to someone you absolutely shouldn't and then you see an email pop up You're.
Like, don't do you not just like hit that one on the head and be like, sorry, that was I don't actually love you? Is that way?
I don't. I don't love you, actually don't have feelings for you, Like I No, I don't know. I think it's better that you don't.
Try to pretend it didn't happen.
Yeah, So this is the email.
Hey, Sarah, just wanted to say that I didn't mean to laugh at you when you accidentally signed off on our call with.
I love you.
Oh. He was just worried about getting in trouble from HH. He's like, oh God, here we go. Now someone's going to complain.
I just found it funny because I've definitely done that before, and I know it happens.
I'm glad you have enough love in your life that the response comes naturally. If anything, you should be proud of that smiley face.
Have a great weekend, and we'll follow up about my call with Chris on Wednesday as discussed no I love you sign off. Would you want that response or would you want just like to pretend it didn't happen.
I've done some doozies. Actually, just the other day, our radio boss Tony walked into the office. We're having a chat, and then I caught him honey by accident, and we just steamrolled like it wasn't even a thing. He didn't even notice. Thanks honey.
Oh he noticed. He looked at me and winked.
Ill.
I must have been in that moment. I was in the room, and I did just be truly uncomfortable.
I'm a words of affirmation kind of person, like I'm an endearing term. Everyone's honey or darling or something.
You know.
I did it didn't mean to. It was not intentional.
Also, no offense, Tony. If you're listening, Tony doesn't give honey. He's not a honey.
He's gonna hate that, poor Tony. Tony could be a honey to someone you're not you.
Do you know what I'm really guilty of and I probably have to work on it.
I throw kisses around day, mean nothing, like they don't though what they do to me. But whoever I'm emailing, it doesn't matter whether it's like the finance guy or the boss, or it's it's a client.
I just throwing kisses, and I'm like, I don't know if you can do that.
I have one other example. There's many of them, but this one just lives rent free in my mind. So, like, I run another business where I was talking to a client of mine and she had wanted to get a piece of jewelry made specifically for her mom for Mother's Day. It was a custom piece, and like, I'd not been on comms at all. My sister, who's my business partner, had been managing it. And I just chimed in because I was like, Hi, so lovely, it's so excited, and I signed off with have a lovely Mother's Day with your bum scent have a great time with your bum anyway.
So she wrote that obviously she could remembering the lines, but that's a typo.
It does rhyme with mum and these two letters that they shares the word.
I know, but really sometimes the autocorrect does your dirty because there's not it's not an incorrect spelling. But you would think that AI would be intelligent enough by now that it would go. You've said Mother's Day, you probably don't want to refer to your butt. So no, because a lot of its gonna guess that this is a mum or like what are you doing on your mother's Everyone needs to enjoy themselves in different ways, don't they?
But play on Monday? All right, all right, hey, the lines are going off. We've got Sarah on the phone.
Hey Sarah, what did you accidentally do to your boss?
As I was leaving, I blew her a kiss?
Okay, so it's a female.
We've got that.
And so you want some contact, Yes we do.
So.
I'm a disability support worker and it's not unusual for when I leave for my client to blow me a kiss, but this particular day she didn't. And it wasn't her though. I walked outside of her bedroom and her parents were there, and I blew them kisses as I.
Like, man, you're just giving these kisses out left R and Zenna, Who does it?
I'd be offended?
If I didn't get a kiss.
Yeah, bless you. I feel like you can get away with it.
Do you say anything afterwards? Did you just leave it? Just walk away?
I didn't say anything to them. I just walked out the door and I got out there and I just died. And I thought, Oh, there's no way that they haven't just turned to each other and gone, what the hell just happened?
Oh, you're just a loving, caring person. Good on you.
Thanks, thank you.
Hey, Kasha, what did you accidentally say to your boss?
I accidentally sent my boss a message saying she's being an absolute sea bomb today.
How do you accidentally sin that?
I feel like just pretty well thought out.
I was sending it to one of the girls that wasn't at work, and.
No, did she have her emails forward it? Or did you actually just see ce in your boss?
Just so?
Can you get the memo?
It was a text message, so I sent it straight to her.
Oh, oh my god, you were doing the old like when you're thinking of someone, so you go and text typing that message instead?
Oh did she write back? Are you fired?
She pulled me into her office and yeah, I try to tell her that it was an accident. And though it was actually aimed towards a friend called Tracy, but she was on me. She wasn't impressed at all.
So, oh my god, oh thank you so much. I'm glad you're still there.
Thank you.
Thanks Kasha. This happened to me a couple of weeks ago. But I've been questioning whether or not I should I should tell the story.
If you ever question if you should tell String National Radio, usually the answer is no.
We usually and also sometimes I'm like, do I have any dignity left? Also no, do we need content for the week?
Fine?
Oh, here it is, here's my soul. So we've been doing quite a big renovation down south at the moment of a house a couple of hours drive from where we live, and when we've been heading down there, we've been staying and it is so close to being finished this renovation, Like I just feel like it is the reno that never ends.
Yeah, you're on the home stretch.
But we were down there staying in the house, and there was some issues with the electricals because this is what happens, right when you're renovating a house. The first time you stay in it, you start to see like all of the little things that haven't quite been done or need to be fixed. So we had had an electrician come out for the day. There was quite a lot of jobs that he needed to do. He needed to install the outdoor lights and some inside blah blah blah blah blah blah.
On the edge of my seat. What other lights did you have to install?
The ones in the bathroom, The outdoor lights weren't connected to the indoor whatever. It was a whole thing right. Also, he wasn't bad to look at. The man was very attractive. That's convenient. It was a good looking rooster, easy on the eye. So he's in the house running around and my husband, Matt's there, and we've all kind of like been trying to get organized for the day at the same time, but also at the same time we're having to talk to the electrician who has questions. Anyway, Matt left and it's just me and it's the electrician in the house and he's finished for the day. He's been there for quite a few hours, and he says like, oh, like see you love all done. I'm going to leave now. And the house is really close to the beach and I had been waiting for him to leave so I could go for a swim. I was desperate to just get out of the house for the day, and I left the garage, opened the door open, and I saw you can see from inside the house straight out into the street. So I saw him get in his car, and I saw him drive away. Bye, good looking mister electrician man. So I got to my bedroom and I get naked, and I'm like, oh, I'm gonna get my swimmers, but except I couldn't find my swimmers. They were obviously downstairs in the laundry. So I get out from the bedroom and I walk straight downstairs, and I'm midway between the upstairs and the downstairs, coming down the stairs like I'm trapped in the in the flight of stairs, and standing there in the lounge room is the electrician. So he's come back to the house because there's something that he's forgotten. Didn't make it known, didn't call out.
He probably didn't think you were going to strip off.
Within thirty seconds he walked in and I was completely butt us naked, with nowhere to run except to turn around and run back up the stairs, which meant not only did he see my front, he also saw my behind, because how.
Do you do it?
How do you navigate it?
You didn't have to run away, he had to run away to go.
He would have had to run up the stairshells, well, he could turn around.
I think it's I don't know if he's already seen the front.
I just back away slowly.
I'd walk backwards up the stairs like crab claw around the corner.
I just had like this three seconds of like absolute fear take over my body, and I was like, how do I get out of this situation? Because the only way forward is backwards? And now I have to turn around.
Oh you just finished telling us saying how good looking you will? Are you sure?
He said?
Goodbye? Are we like? Oh my god? Whoops?
I didn't know you were here. I thought you'd lambs. I just happened to be making on stairs. I told about this story and he was like whatever, Laura shut off because as Yeah, when the electroggy come in, I was like, he's a good looking rooster, is any man? And then I had to tell Matt that I got naked in front of him. It didn't go down well.
Imagine if Matt walks in and just has this awkward moment where he says, you need.
On the stairs looking down and here and looking at you. You're looking at him there. It's like the awkward triangle.
Anyway, I can't ever see him. No, he's coming back to the house and I have to leave.
It's gotta put the solar in.
Yeah, I'll tell you about that though, Laura.
Remember back in the day, those missed connections that people used to do, like the equivalent of a newspaper dating site. So if you had a moment with someone in real life, like you were getting the train to work and you looked across the platform and you saw somebody and you had this moment across it and you were like wow, and they were giving you the eyes back then they got.
On the train.
You never saw them again.
You know what this was, And I wonder if it rolled out all across the country or not. But this was the free newspaper that you would get on the train, and there was a column, a special dedicated editor's column where you wrote into the editor. And you were like platform two, one o'clock. You were wearing a red hat.
It always says you green shirt, me high ponytail.
I laughed at you.
Whatever.
It's like, it's always these, and then they're supposed to find it and find you when you live happily ever after.
I remember this like vividly because I would always look to try and see if someone had sent one in about me. Oh, no, narcissist, a loser? I don't know. Narcissist is the right word, or just a loser is the right way. I was like, so desperate for someone to love me.
Well, I have had an idea off the back of one that I have seen one. So some people are still putting them online, like, some people are still finding them and putting them online. It's not a thing like it was. But I just need you to listen to this because I was laughing out loud. This is on a site misconnection site. You were the tall brunette with a near perfect body that farted in the bread section last night. I was the tall guy next to you that looked over and asked, was that you? You quickly replied, no, it wasn't. You almost seemed insulted that I would even ask. As the stink grew, you continued to deny your flatuance, but it was evident I tried to get rid of the stench by waving two loaves of chabbata bread.
You proceeded to storm off in an angry manner.
You are beautiful, and even if you are a liar and you fart like a Clyesdale, I'd still love to meet up.
That's not real.
I died of life.
It was so funny. It got me thinking I could be real. People let them drop accidentally all the time. There's only two people in an aisle and there's a smell and you know it's not you.
You then know it's the only other person there.
When you started that, I thought you were about to say this has been written about me, but then as it proceeded to be talking about Barts. But you know, okay, this is a real tangent. We don't have to go down this path, but I'm going to say it anyway. I walked into a lyft the other day, got on at level two. There was only one person in lyft, and then we traveled to and it was so evident that they had just farted in the lift before I got in. Also not okay, a funny story.
Sorry, okay, I've just been thinking about it so dumb. So I never fart in front of my fiance ban it's like a thing I've just said, I don't fright in front of partners, like I'll do it in other locations.
So recently, so dumb.
Recently, I was over visiting him and we were practicing our first dance for our wedding, and we filmed the whole thing.
We put the camera up, and then we just proceed to do our dance. Now it's only he and I in the hotel room.
That's it.
It's not a dance studio.
We're just in a home. Anyway, he lifted you up, you accidently farted.
No, but I farted, but it was quiet, so I was like, didn't care. Then I smelt it and I was like, oh my god.
Got it on the front of foot. Yeah, but I don't know what I was thinking.
I stopped and I was like, babe, did you just fart?
And he was like, I know, it's so obvious because he knows it wasn't him, and he's like no, and I was like, yes, you did. That's disgusting. He's like, oh my god, you did. And that was me trying to get myself.
Out of it. We're only in this anyway. We have this full fight on camera, gout who farted?
But obviously it was me, Like what was I thinking? I'm sorry, but are you fourteen years old? And secondly, what has this got to do with lost connections?
Sorry, no it's not.
It was back to the fight, So okay, I took it a little sideway. Here's my idea. I want to help people. There are people out there. I know there is someone listening right now that has had that moment who I mean sorry.
Who's had a misconnection?
Who's farted in a sip mugget?
I want to help a miss connection, like I want to find one and make it happen. So we are looking for people that might have had that moment anywhere in a nightclub or walking to work, or at work, or in a cafe anytime. We want you to call up and we're going to try and help you, and we're going to make this well.
This is my plan. It might not work after a couple of weeks, and the producers can it. It's gonna be a mini series.
Let's go, let's go whole hog in the interim until that happens, Let's put everything all the resources we have.
What's more important? Love or money? Or love and money maybe we'll find.
You both call up or writing to the Pickup, writing to Laura and myself on Instagram or the pickups Instagram or the wind page whatever. If you have a misconnection or somebody that you are looking for, we want to help you find them.
Like we genuinely want to try and make this happen, Britt. I also want to point out to you that these things only end well if the other person is interested. Otherwise it comes off like they're a stalker. But like, that's okay, we can figure that out live on air, you.
Just said you looked every week to see if you were in it people wanted, Britt.
You were telling a story a while back about your wedding invitations and how you got into a little bit of strife because of the language barrier. When you set out your invites, you said no thongs, and it was taken very incorrectly.
Because all my fiance's European, so all of his friends and family are euro and they thought when I said no thongs.
That they weren't allowed to wear a G string. Yeah, so that's a pretty strict dress code if I'm monitoring there under it.
Fe're like everyone that walks in you're like, I'll just have one quick look before you're allowed to dress. Yep, you're in. Well, this is gonna make you feel a little bit better, brute, because there is a wedding invitation that's gone viral off the back of a very unfortunate accident that was made a spelling error. We've all been subject to spelling errors, you know, We've all sent a message and then accidentally it's like auto corrected to a word that we didn't want it to be. Yeah, there's not that many people that use the word duck all the time, but apparently that's what iPhones think, you know it just yeah, should we unpack that one talk in the afternoon.
Thanks.
Okay. So there's a couple who sent out their wedding invitation and lovely they had all dervs on the menu was one of the first things that was written. Unfortunately, they did not spell check or proofread their wedding invitation that was sent out. But not only was it sent out, this wasn't a digital invitation. This was a printed, hard copy invitation which had lovely golden bossing on it. So I'm sure it cost him a pretty penny. I do have invite here. Yeah, it looks beautiful. It doesn't say all derves though. What it does say, unfortunately, is horse ovaries.
I can see how this has happened, or dervs is actually spelled sort of like horse overies.
It's like ho rs that's essentially horse right.
As if you're going to say it in phthetically.
How would they say or verse looks like almost ovaries, So I can understand.
Why Google's been like, oh, they must be trying to talk. Maybe they're a vet.
Imagine about the horse over Imagine getting to a wedding and they're serving you horse overies. Thank you, that's delicious. Imagine they get dean or fried.
Do you think people picked up on that and thought, oh, it's spelling mistake or.
People were like is this some sort of weird like cultural thing, or like who's.
Eating in horse overies?
Well, look, we've come across some very unfortunate spelling errors. And I'm not just talking about like sending an incorrect text to someone who you're friends with. I'm talking about businesses that have printed signs or things that are like truly embarrassing that you kind of like, once it's up, you're like, well, what do we do now? Do we have to take that whole thing down and start again? And I wanted to read something out to you because they're so great. McDonald wrote, hiring smiling faces for afternoon shits.
Nah, that's intentional.
There's been a sixteen year old it's been employed to go out in the front and do that.
They're earning eleven dollars an hour.
Some some little kid hates their job and they thought this was funny. They were, in fact the little shit. Okay, another one here. This is a very old sign that's been up for a really long time. It's in a parking lot and it says illegally parked cars will be fine.
No, that has said fine, and someone's taken off so that they can park there one hundred percent.
That is actually really smart.
All right, well what is this one? How do you describe this one?
Then?
Britt, please pay your parking fee before existing, not exiting existing. And I really like this one. This wasn't the front of a doughnut king and it said mini dog nuts. I feel like I feel like.
Grace on the case has something over there.
I found one said I was replying to a high level executive called Trudy.
The whole team was ce seed on it. One of them pointed out to me that I called her thirty. I don't recognize the first time.
I just want to finish it off with this because I feel like we've all been in the boat where we've made a spelling error mistake, and this is going to live rent free in my mind. Somebody wrote when you can still smell his colon on your pillows even when he's not there,
