Hi guys, and welcome back to another episode of Life on Cut.
I'm Laura, I'm Brittany, I'm Mitch, and this is the pickup show where we package up all the best bits of the radio show and we put.
Them here for you every week.
I like that Today we really lent into some hard hitting news.
Yeah, it was really hard hitting.
I'm going back to the group chat to find when you first spoke about.
It, there was quite a lot of shout about it.
Okay, laugh at howver this Monday. For sure, it's a story about a pregnanting ray. For sure. Happened. That was Sunday night. That was last week, two weeks.
Guys.
We can't staying roll over this. We haven't again. You said pregnanting ray, which is exactly what we talked about. But Britt, you are deeply passionate about this. Please share a little bit. I'm really passionate about this story. You guys have probably heard about it. It's the mystery of twenty twenty four.
It's the female stingray that lives in an aquarium that got preak alone, no other sting rays, and it got pregnant, and it was a virgin.
That's a headline, pregnant virgin. Yes, Carolina, we.
Do like talking about sex on this podcast. But it's mind blowing right. The only other her only other friends in the whole aquarium was some sharks.
So people were like, oh my god, is this like a sting shark cross has?
How they inter sext? And this is I don't know. That's my produce is looking at me and she's like, that's not a word.
It's inter sex a word, actually it is, but it means something very different.
It is wrong context. Yes, sorry, did they interbreed? Cross breed?
Far out? Did they cross breed?
So it was pretty amazing, And then scientists discovered they didn't cross breed.
But in fact, she got don't you don't get head of the spoiler? You got pregnant? Do you have to have all the horse the thing that gets me, is like, what's coming?
Don't you guys just read a lot of our articles and then just go nice and not feel the need to talk about it to a public audience.
Yeah, but we all.
I understand that every so often there's like some news in the world that really really gets into your soul. And for Brute, it's the pregnanty R. I understand, and that's why she's got four pups on the way.
Okay, Well, what did I talk about in the show? I've already forgotten. Who knows? Who am I? Where am I?
Oh?
No, we found out that Laura was appruved.
Oh yeah, I'm a prude.
Motherhood turning thirty eight in a month has turned me into a total prude.
No, there was a guy on the plane who was reading.
Like a super dirty book and I can't I can't use the words on radio because we've got to be like fully PC because obviously it's three pm. It was fucking smutty. It was the s muttiest book I've ever seen. And it's because he went to the toilet and he didn't close the book. He left it open on the seat next to me, facing me, and I looked down and I saw it, and I was like, oh, you smutty little boy, and I was a man, and yeah, he was national little boy, because that's it. He was an adult, and I'm sure he was aroused and had to relieve himself in the bathroom. Anyway, I feel person victimized by the book and also by Mixtury and pretty Hockley.
You know, you would have loved the story about Charlotte, the pregnant sting ray that sat next to you on that fly.
He would want blow by blow though as to how it happened. I was about to ends that. Seriously. I was like, Robert Irwin, you would love that. I thought it was I thought it was a real worship.
He broke up his girlfriend this week.
I know that's really sad because one minute you can't believe social media, and one minute it look like they were on a red carpet posting together and they looked really cute and happy.
Do you know what Robert Irwin as well.
He strikes me as the type of person that I would have thought would have gotten into a relationship and then just gotten married. Like I said that, he was like dundee, yeah, like you don't look at him and think, Oh, that's a guy who's going to go through a few breakups, has some tumultuous relationships, and then find the one you're like, Oh, he's cute, he's happy, he'll get.
Married, he doesn't scream player.
Wouldn't that be the twist you want to because you'd go on a date with him and invite you back to his apartment to see his python, and you'd go getting laid. But it would be an actual carpet.
Imagine Robert Irwin as the Bachelor.
That would be just signed as.
Happening, as if they're bringing the Bachelor back and gain guys. Also, it would be really devastating to find out that Robert Erwin is a boy because if that happened, just destroys everybody.
We can't be Robert went on the Bachelor.
I think that would be brilliant casting because she's got such a big international audience.
People love him, he's wholesome, he loves animals, like anyone that loves animals, you can trust. It would bring it back, wouldn't it.
Yeah, But imagine the home visits. He'd take the more back to Toronto Zoo.
Doesn't Australian Zoo Australia.
Can we get him on to talk about Charlotte, he'd actually be able to shed some miny.
I would love nothing more than to story arc this him about Charlotte.
I'll see what I can do.
Yeah, I'm also on the show this week. I had sex in a single bed. It's all that and more, which is also pregnant with pups. I'm not pregnant.
Well, you can't in a single bed, can you? No room?
We've been talking about these two women that went viral last week for doing the fifteen hundred kilometer trek, the drive to Taylor Swift and on the back of their car they put a pay id. They put two broke chicks, we need money for petrol, and they literally linked like a pay id so people could pay their petrol to get to Taylor's.
Direct to their bank account.
Yeah. Yeah, the more terrible when we undercided, well we had, we had some opinions earlier in the week on Monday.
No one's making you pay it. Just have a laugh and let them drive by. I think it's not that. I think it's the audacity to ask.
And people see that and they're like, you want me to pay for you to go to Taylor Swift when there's so many other things I could be putting my money towards. It just is it's so outrageous to even ask. I think they were trying to get attention and just have a something for TikTok. Now, I have been losing sleep Mitch and Laura because I just need to know the million dollar question on did anyone actually pay them money?
So I've tracked them down high and low.
I searched Australia, and I have Gemma and Emily on the phone right now. Hey, lair, oh, hello.
Hi guys.
Okay, yeah, we got to know.
Okay, I'm still I'm so undecided. Like I said, it's either genius or it's terrible. How much money did you make?
We decided we're not going to tell anyone that to.
Say, more than a thousand dollars, more than two hundred dollars.
More than a thousand ball pass.
By God, So I guess that it would be over one thousand dollars.
So did you cover all your fees?
Yes?
We did, we did, and we also paid some forwards, so.
Taylor she doesn't need the cash.
Sure, we actually gave it back to some of the people that had shared the picture around on Facebook. So one of the girls who shared it that got a lot of news that went viral. We actually sent her some money.
Well, guys, I actually promoted you and said I thought it was good and I don't think i've received anything.
So you said you covered your cost? How much did it cost you all up to travel all the way from where you were to see Taylor?
Oh?
Man, I don't think we're in the right frame of mine to be able to do budget. Just like we have to get to Taylor. How much are we spending on You'll feel the take we have to get.
There, Jimmer, I want to know who came up with this idea in the first place.
Oh, it was definitely a team effort. We were getting ready to go, We packed the car, loaded the car, and it was sort of a last minute should we do this for the last Like it would it be really funny if we could actually beat some swifties on the way and like have some cool conbos in the drive. So we were like, oh, yeah, quick, let's right chopping up. Literally before we left it about three in the morning, we'd written it on the back of the car.
Look, I thought it was fun right, because I'm like, no one has to pay, you're not forcing it if they do brilliant. But Emily, I know there's been a bit of trolling. What do you reckon overall? Was it more positive or more trolls?
Look from all of the response I've had that I've seen, it's been fantastic. There's only a few percent of people that have been negative. But look, even some of the articles and things I've had a bit of a laugh at. They've got a photo of me in a car from Christmas plan with Christmas presents in the.
Back of the car.
I look, I love this.
It's like they're making out that you've taken all this money and just done a cash grab, bought all these things.
Say yeah, yeah, look, and that's happen on social media, and we're not bothered at always sort of you know, you know, two broke girls wanting to do a Tailor Swift concert. Jim I only got the tickets in the middle of tonight on the Monday morning, so and they're like less than a week before.
And she called me, She's like, we got to.
Tell the switch. Yeah yeah, someone said a dollar. It was like girls, I broke to but it's been a cruel summer and some of the other My favorite donations were thirteen cents or thirteen dollars of thirteen cents because obviously we know the tailor Swift number is thirteen.
Wait, so these were the pay id comments when people were transferring money.
Yeah, absolutely, but they're like, you look out for that blank space.
Don't leave any blank spaces in the paid I.
Mean, this is how you know it's true swifties and that's what's all about, right swiftly supporting Swifty So.
Funny, and I think the first part was when we had people driving past us on the road on the way down that was like waving at us and whatnot. And at one point we took an exit and a car followed us off the highway onto this exit and four girls but out of their car they were like, we had to follow you off because we wanted to stay.
Hi.
We that you would go on so huge.
It's like not even a leader of petrol girls. Thanks totally, let's stay friendship bracelets. It's all about paids now So funny. Jim at how was the concert? Like was it everything that you wanted it to be?
And more?
Oh?
Everything?
And more. I cannot believe it. If you've got tickets and you're going to the Sydney shows, oh my goodness, it is fantastic. It was like, honestly once in a lifetime experience giving her errors.
To all of the old music, all of the new music. It was so good, absolutely incredible.
Moral of the story is, don't as don't get right.
This weekend there's going to be fifty cars driving around that's going to have the same paid well their own paids, but everyone's going to be doing the same thing.
Now, go fund me is out. You need your kidney, put it on the back. You meets a bishy and you'll get that kidney in.
Mogen Mitch, we were just talking and you said that you're now six months deep in your new relationship and that you have just come across a red flag that is so red flaggy. You don't know whether you've ever come across one so bad before.
Not to be honest, I didn't think it was that bad until I told you guys just as three friends, and then you think it's the worst thing.
I don't think it's the worst thing in the world relationships it Yeah, I just think it's hard to overcome. I'm just not sure where you fit. Literally, I don't.
Know how you fit in.
Okay, sure, the guy that I'm seeing, who is beautiful and the kind of soul in the world's so sweet. We haven't said the l words. So calm down. What are you saying? Blue? Because it's two men.
No, don't you dare go down that path.
Don't you want to wrangle with me? I'm a catfish baby, all right? Listen, So what happened was I he's been saying at my house because I just it's just how it's happened. He's been staying at my house when he stays over, I live with my parents, Yes, but it's an interim thing. It's just while I'm yes.
So when you say your house's he comes to your parents' house.
Yeah, I got my own life. It's like a gretty face. You have got a king Koala mattress.
It's lots of room for the two.
Yeah, it's like an on sweet private we can walk to and from the bathroom. A nod, he goes. It's just he's moving away. He's going away for it six weeks. Yeah, it's very sad. He said, why don't you come and stay at my house for a last hurrah. And I go, oh, that's quite nice. I've not been to your house.
Which you also know that the relationships progress because he's not invited you back to his house yet.
This is like one would think this is a green flad.
Correct, I've not been to his house. He lives with his parents as well, and he's like, Mum and dad have catered. They've got pancakes in the morning, because pancake's my favorite food. Yeah, He's like, don't worry, We've got almond milk because I know how particularly you are with your almond milk. Like he's so thoughtful, it's beautiful. Yeah, this sounds great. He's going to go away on the Sunday. I'm not going to see him for six weeks. Let's have one final hurrah. So I pack a little overnight bag. I'll get to his house. He's there, welcome, and he doesn't tell me a thing. We just walked to his bedroom. I put my bag down, I open his bedroom door and he's got a single bed.
You are not a little boy.
And I mean this is in like in a hot No, I don't mean as in like a width, but I mean like you are a tall guy, like six foot.
Three, and how big is your friend he is it's smaller than me. Yeah, he's small.
It doesn't matter how big you are. A single bed is for a child. Adults do not have single beds.
My two little daughters, four and a half and two, they share a single bed. They sleep top and tail and they only just both fit into a single bed.
So so I laughed. I thought, hilarious, like is there a trendler to pull out? And he said, what's the problem? And I go, no, no, I go, this is a single bed because it's a king single that all that adds is extra length, right boo.
Gives you a little bit more with.
So we did. We stayed the night and I slept in the king single bed and I lost him. Halfway through the night. I woke up, like where is it? He'd fallen in between the crack three in the wall and the.
Bed was you know, I actually broke up with someone.
This makes me you did all of us.
I for same thing, six months deep into the relationship because it was long distance, and I finally came down. I came into his house and there was a single bed and he had a he had like a farting problem.
He farted so much.
Okay, Well, so when we got into the single bed and he dutched oven in there, there was nowhere to go like, I'm done.
I'm done, done, you stinky single boy.
And not to storytop this, but I've been in a similar situation. I moved in with the boyfriend, so we're doing long distance. I moved away to be with him, and I got there and i'd not been to his new house that he'd moved into several months beforehand, and he just had a mattress on the floor with no sheets, so double though it was a double, but it was just discarded on the ground. That's okay. It all spiraled out of control. These are the issues.
It's when you find a red flag deep into something when everything's going good and you go, this is a great relationship, and then it hits you.
Know, then you realize, yeah, like this is terrible.
It's like laid in life red flags.
Oh, bit, you were just telling us a story about you know, when you get too deep in a relationship and you realize that there's a bit of a red flag, bit of an it because you've just had a discovery with your partner.
Yeah, the guy that partner, yeah, yeah, the guy that I'm with and have been for six months. I stayed at his house for the first time and he has a single bed which you can't fit and we're adults.
So it got me thinking, my partner, Ben, I've been with four I can't do the math right now, A well, fourteen fifteen months, right, we're long distance, but we've just spent a couple of months together, and I have discovered two things in the past couple of weeks that have red flagged me a little bit, not red flagged as much.
As icked well, because you haven't spent like you haven't lived with him really for an extended period of time.
This has nothing to do with living together. This is something he did in his childhood. So Ben is six foot five, he's one hundred kilos. He's a big boy. He plays professional football, so he's this big, sexy much a big sporty guy, big sporty guy, which you know, sexy.
He told me that in thank You for establishing that twice and.
He just recently told me that.
All through his schooling, he said, I was actually quite creative for musical and I was like hot you're a.
Drummer, or you're a last lead guitarist.
Yes, saxophone's even quite sexy.
Yeah, because he's got the tats. Anyway, he was like the lead what's called xylophone? He played the xylophone.
That's fine. Can I show you what a xylophone?
Dude?
I know my four year old has a xylophone, but I don't think we need to poo poo ki who were like, like, he's cute and creative, and then he got into sports.
I don't think it was just a little kid. I think he played.
And then I asked him for the details.
Yes, I laughed at him, and he got really serious and he said, Brittany, don't be ridiculous.
It was a double decker xylophone, Like it.
Was a really serious He got really serious, and I was like, I had die layers. Yes, I love you for this, but I can't have that image in my head when we go to bed.
No, I disagree. I think it's cute to date someone who's like into slightly dorky things because the people who have this like big masculine front and then when you actually get to know them, you're like, oh, you're a bit of a dog, and that's adorable.
Any lading life red flags or your husband made.
No look, but Matt's Matt's great.
The only thing that he he's become obsessed with, which I think is a red flag, is he has bought what's called and I don't know if anyone's heard of this, it's called the buger Sault. It's a it's okay, a buger sault. It's a big it's a big gun that you put salt into. And he spends a good hour and a half of every day chasing house flies around the house shooting them with this gun. And let me tell you, it's like, you know, like a wild amount of investment that he's putting into this, the bug assault.
There's nothing hard about about.
Season food with it, because that sounds really fun.
It would probably blow your sausage off.
As whoa court No, I know, you mean Courtney's called I'm thirteen one of sixty five? Did you find out a red flag?
Really late in the relationship, So basically I was dating this guy for like we were like three months in or something, and I went to go pick him up from his house and it was a total mess.
There was food everywhere, there was like uber eats bags and would close all over the floor like cups mugs. They were actually flies, and I was just like what it was night and day between what I had seen the last.
Couple of times I had gone to pick him ups.
He is messy, but there's a difference.
With messy and dirty. He sounds dirty.
He sounds like he needs a bug a sault at his house. He does should go over and start shooting all the flies.
Three months definitely not into deep break up with him.
There's a level though, right, there's a level of messiness that you can handle. But if you're bringing someone back for the first time and that's the level of messiness, it's like he probably tried to clean.
That's his best behavior.
Ash High, What did you find out late in the relationship?
So I'm actually married, like locked in, we got married. But one thing he does that that was crazy and it's really gross, is he doesn't watch his socks. So I'd say like a good three to four uses because he thinks it's like.
You have to wash them.
Disgusting Because.
No, no, no, he's he's my rule. I can get one run out of a pair of socks, or I can get three work days.
You know that's a lot that's revolting.
Because you recently came and stayed with my boyfriend I in Scotland and he told me last night the couch still stinks of your stench from your feet. You put your feet and he's it makes us from your stench on his couch.
Also, if you're going to just like out at the moment that you're kind of your red flag is that you never wash your socks.
That's worse than sleeping in a single bed. You're just painful.
We're made for each other. We're both riddle with.
Red flags so bad.
Hey, I don't know if you guys have heard Taylor Swifts in Australia.
No no idea, you're kidding me up and track it?
Maybe probably that's terrible.
So exciting I say that, but I'm super pumps because we're all going to see her this weekend.
Where alas trying to talk and like figure out who's the biggest swifty in this room?
You think it's you. I don't out of this room.
Possibly, yeah, but I'm I am openly a swifty.
Love it, but you are too, Laura. I love it, but I'm like old school swifty.
Yeah, you're like Texas sort of braids flowers in the hair, Swifty, you.
Like thirteen year old yeah, Julie. Well let me tell you the game. So, Laura, you are going to play this game. You are going to call somebody you know, but I basically think it should be your mother in law, Ellie, because she's been on the show a couple of times. We love her, and she's moving in with you in a week. She is moving in with us very soon.
Wait before you say, I just have to call my mother in law, can you please tell me what I'm doing?
Okay, So the challenge, if you choose to accept it, but you also don't have a choice, and you have to accept it, is you need to call her and not say anything, and you have one minute to say as many swiftly related words, so song, lyrics or something that associates until and in conversation, like it needs to be natural until she either picks it up or the minute is up. Now, I know you're stressed out, but I have made you a cheat sheet of all these different lyrics that you could put into a sentence, and and I've tagged them with points.
God you have Okay, this is okay, it's very comprehensive. I don't know if we're there yet where I prank my mother in law, but to find out, she's also very high for lutin. She's got that kind of British. She's not a swifty fan. Well she's I don't think she's going to get it, but she will think I'm insane.
There are a point systems, so we've got one point, two, three and five. One points are like lover speak now, blank space and five point which are pre hard to put into a sentence that things like come is my boyfriend? Christmas tree Farm, tear drops on my guitar, so they're harder. Okay, we're ready to play the old what.
Can't come to the phone right now? Good that one?
You're a swift deal, know.
Why is it an old blank space? There?
Do says the old Taylor can come to the phone right now.
Don't say that to Ellie. She'll freak out. She won't get it. She'll think you've died.
I'll say that old Laura can't come to the phone right.
So I've got the timer and as soon as Ellie says hello, actually she'll say hello Hello.
I feel so bad for her. She's not gonna she's not gonna like this.
I'm going to start the time I got Ellie's number, were going to call her. I'm gonna turn our MIC's off. Brittan me. Good, call Ellie your mother.
This Hi Elliott's Laura, Laura, Hi, Nana. Sorry, I just wanted to talk to you about Wait. Can you hear me?

I got sixteen points. I'm winning, Ellie. You and me, we make a great team. No.
I should have realized that it wasn't your normal number, and I thought I'd bet it's wine and I'm going to give him a piece of my mind.
You should have realized when she asked about Christmas plans in the middle of February that should have been the day giveaway. You were amazed, Ellie, you were great.
Go and move Okay. I'm so sorry. I'm so excited to have you next week. And if you need any help.
We the move will help you out. Ellie. That's Laura's mothering. Loh gosh, she's a sweetheart. Love her so much. Well, how many points sixteen.

What was your dream?
Wild dream?
Yeah? Appropriate?
Think of that, so appropriate? It was so weird. It was like, you know how I gave you cloud I don't know. I just like you.
Yeah, I gave you cloud and the jar, and I just I had this idea that we've had this love story for so long, and I was like, are you ready for it? Because I'm going to give you another jar of cloud at tail Swift. That was my idea, and that was what happened in the dream. And then I was like, you shouldn't I hate that or it off? No, you loved it. But I was thinking, God, hang on, I was thinking, I don't know how I'm going to get back from the concert. Like, I just feel like we're never ever getting back together. I don't think that's real. Like I was trying to transport, So I was just thinking, God, we're never going to get back together.
I don't know. Are you wearing red?
Am I wearing red?
Look what you made me do a reputation? Oh okay, okay, it's time.

Shannon and I've been best friends with thirty years, and when we're five years old, I thought that I was like, I've got the best present ever because we used to make each other presence. I went to the top of a mountain with an empty vegie my jar, and I scooped up cloud and I gave her pure cloud.

No, no, getaway is We're going to be catching the trains and getting the tea taxpress.
Okay, are we out of the woods? You reckon though. With all that, should we plan deeper? Are you bejeweled because you've done the bracelets? Are they projeweled?
I'm no, but I'm very enchanted question.
Yes, Mom, you're at the pick up with the girls seconds.
Michelle and you picked I could hear some giggles earlier you picked on?
No, he I know, I did.
I picked up.
I thought, yep.
He's definitely trying to outsmart me here and I'm over it.
I'm all over you.
Thank you, mom. We see on the weekends by Michelle.
So what did you end up then, Britt you were sitting there on twelve thirteen?
He got and then he got canned? Wow, Mitch on thirteen. Mother in law Ellie is the winner with Laura her.
I mean, I'd love to know what I win. Do I get some of these rows of Taylor Swift tickets? We want more greedy. Maybe you can take my mother in law since she has no idea what's happening on Taylor Swift love.
That's a fun game play with your friends and family everyone.
Yeah, see how longer you can get away with talking and Taylor lyrics. I want to know what your opinion is on destination weddings and whether you think that they are a little bit selfish or not.
Is that supposed to be Hawaii Music Meet. I feel like I'm in an elevator.
It's kind of nondescript destination.
No, it's pretty. It's pretty.
Baby.
We're in the aeroplane and we're about to go to the destination. Okay, but hear me out. There is a woman online. Her name is Sarah. She has just gone viral. She's from the States and she has absolutely unleashed on her guest list for her wedding.
So she organized a destination wedding.
She invited one hundred and fifty people, and of that one hundred and fifty people, only nine people rsvp'ed right that they were going to come. So that's brutal, brutal. So that wedding was supposed to be in Thailand, which can we get out of the elevator. So then she changed the location to try and make it closer, to make it slightly more convenient for everyone. She still wanted it to be a destination, but she lives in America. She changed it to Hawaii. So Hawaii is a little bit closer, a little bit cheaper for everyone. So ten people are coming. Seven people RSVP is that less? It's less people than original. So this is what she had to say on her post, at the risk of sounding entitled, I have to vent today. When we invited our friends and family to our destination wedding in Thailand, only nine people RSVP'd out of one hundred and fifty And I get it. Paying three K to share my special day might be too much for some of you, but I'd pay it for yours. But then when we changed the wedding to be in Hawaii so it's within everyone's reach, only seven of you RSVP, it costs less but less if you want to come? Is that what you think of my partner and me? You can't spare two K to come share a happiness? And then she says that if they're not going to come, she's going to delete them all off Facebook and good luck keeping up with our lives.
Then what that's mole?
Is she the mole?
Or is it a Is it a like you know too much to expect that your friends are going to pay this money to come.
To destination wedding?
Yeah?
That attitude, Yeah, I think if you're going to have a destination wedding. You have to be completely okay with people saying no.
It has to be an expectation that people are going to say no. And I know I also hang on, I'm actually mad about this when she said when she said you won't even spend two K, I'm calling bullshit. No one is spending two k to get from America to Thailand. Accommodation totally way more presence address health insurance, like there is travel adaptors, there is traveling health dances, the tourist guide books.
Do you know what I thought when I read this, I was like, Okay, only nine or seven people are going to come to your wedding. The reason is because you're an asshole. Like nobody speaks to their friends like this.
And if you're the type of person who's.
Going to write a rent like this on your Facebook page where your friends can.
Read it, that's why you don't have friends when to come to your wedding. I do, Look, I'm.
Going to put it out there because I love you too, and you're my closest friends.
I do hope to.
Have a destination wedding even just put it out there now, but maybe something like BALI I don't know, but I do it for you, but I would know.
I like BALI I'll come there. Yeah, I know that you can work there.
I like Brent.
What's your boyfriend's name, he's nice, Peter Paul, And I know that when you ask people to do that, you have to expect them to not be able to come.
I agree, Well, people are calling. It's clearly fired up the nation. Georgietto, would you do it? You have you had a destination wedding.
Yeah, I would do it and I have had it. But at the same time, I don't think you can expect everyone to come, and I don't think it's rude to ask it nonetheless, but yeah, you kind of got expectations.
Also, it weeds out the people who don't want to come.
It weeds out all the people who are kind of like on the periphery of your friendship.
For georget how many people, No.
It wasn't my wedding. I've been to one. I haven't had one, though, right, were there a lot of Yeah, but most people were from that location for everyone, Yeah.
I don't have many friends in BALI wait, wait, Lindsay, no, following that Instagram is being selfish by having Lindsay Hi, what about you.
I agree with a destination wedding. I don't think they're selfish at all. I think it's rude to be upset with somebody for having a dream wedding. But if you are going to have that wedding overseas, you're going to expect that some people can't make it because everybody has budget.
So you need to lead to Yeah, okay, what if you were having a destination wedding and only nine of your friends said that they would come out of one hundred and fifty, would you be angry at your friends or would you be like fair, I get it.
Yeah, no, I'd get it, and I'd think for who, I've got more honey, more honeymoon money money.
On the flip side, it would be so sad if if since people turned up to your wedding, that is so sad.
A really yeah, I think your mum wants to come. Do you know what, I'm going to have a destination funeral, Mitch?
Do you want no one at your funeral?
Now?
But I'm going to get my corpse flown to Abu Dhabi and I want I want to have a funeral in the bers Khalifa.
Mitch I will go, doesn't matter wherever you take your corpse.
I will come.
Laura, I'm not going. Well, you know what, You're not invited. I'm coming to Abu Dhabi my funeral in a long time. Yeah, yeah, I don't know how I feel about this, Laura.
About what what we're about to broadcast to the world.
Oh what, I'm sorry that I want to bring some news and education. This has literally what I'm about to tell you has not only stopped Australia, but has stopped the entire world. It's just the greatest mystery of twenty twenty four.
To give some context, every every week, and like every day when we're in the show, we had this group chat where we throw in all of our ideas and we all kind of toss it into one pot and then we pull out the best things. Every single day, Britt has sent the same article and then all the updates of the article because she has been desperate to talk about it.
That has been vetoed up until this point.
Honest to god, Producer Grace so turned your microphone on. She has sent this to you personally as well outside the group chair.
I had to take her aside personally and be like, Britt, what's going on with this?
I need to know. Do you have like personal investments in this?
Like? Are you getting paid?
Is there somewhere you want to take this specifically? Am I a stingray that is pregnant? No, Grace, I don't have a personal investment.
Okay, let me tell you the story, and I think every listener is going to be on the edge of their seat. If you haven't heard, but it's just publicized as Taylor Swift, I'm sure you've heard it. The Great, the Great sting ray, The Great stingray Mystery of twenty twenty four. There is a female sting ray in an aquarium. His name is Charlotte. It's a beautiful looking sting ray, very long stinger. She has fallen pregnant, which is amazing, right, we.
Love that Charlotte. I'm so happy. If did she struggle, well, funny you should ask Mitch.
The mystery is she's in a tank with no stingrays, no other sting rays, and only sharks. So everyone is like, how the hell did this sting ray get pregnant?
The immaculate shark conception.
Yeah, So I've wanted to talk about this for so long and because I haven't been allowed, so many other things have happened dates. Factually, the scientists around the world stingray scientists didn't quite know how this happened, so they thought that she had bite marks on her from a shark, and sharks are known to bite when they have sex, so mating season.
I also think they're just known to bite for stuff.
Yes, but when they have sex they bite. So so there was a theory going around that this is the first shark ray and I think that's actually a thing sting shark.
What's gonna come out like it's a big gnashing teeth and a stinger.
Wait, hold on, so you want to talk about a pregnant sting ray that's fathered by a shark.
I'm sorry, is that not mind blowing?
It's actually pretty I'm kind of into it.
I mean, it's interesting, yes, but where are we taking this? It gets well, it gets better, thanks for asking.
So so a lot of scientists jump on board, a lot of scientist jumping bar and they're like, look, that didn't happen. There's no way it cannot scientifically happen. A shark has not mated with a sting rays. Everyone's like, well, how the hell has it happened? Apparently there's something called parthenogenesis that some other animals do.
Bear with me, amphibians, some birds and fish. They they sex themselves.
Wow, there's everybody else. They've always got a bit fishy. I've always felt like I could pick some birds. They do.
So it is incredible, scientifically incredible. They are falling pregnant and reproducing multiple pups, because a pupp is what a stingray baby is called. Without just alone at fashion out the back of the aquarium, and they've produced pups.
But I want to add to this one more thing. Did you know sting rays?
There's something to be said for this breathe Did you know stingrays? What they do when it's mating season is they just go healthful Heather, right, They just have sex with so much. Listen, they have sex with so many other stingrays. Then when they fall pregnant, which is three to four months, they carry multiple pubs to all different fathers. You can have as many in there from different dads in the one Pregnancy's pretty cool.
You're not impressed, Laura.
I am impressed, But I think there's nothing more beautiful in life than seeing someone really excited about something. And my true joy from this is coming from your level of excitement around Charlotte and her babies.
Well, we'll give you an update next week because.
She absolutely to.
Birth in one week ago, she impregnated herself. Incredible. Let's get her on the line, Hi.
Charlotte, she's here on the phone. Hi, Charlotte's under the sea.
Do you know what?
That's probably enough from us and I'm going to go to Taylor Swift now, is that okay?
Can I leave?
You?
Know what? Who actually would have loved the story of Charlotte, because, to be honest, at its core, it's a feminist story.
Taylor don't need no man, Swift, you don't need a man. Reprodicious comments sting right in the tank, coming strip sly.
She gets down with her self and the quarry. Um
