FULL SHOW: Sharing Bathwater & Secret Ghost Babies

A good pickup with Britt Hogley and Laura Burn Radio.

What our windows down? My worlds in the dust?

Only good bull down. I've done much, but yeah, I know I'll beg get and what I want. It don't matter where.

This is the pickup, Hi guys, it's the pick Up with Britt Hardley and Laura Burn. Welcome to the end of your hump day.

Oh speaking to home every day.

That's something I haven't been doing because my fiance lives on the other side of the world.

But I got an early.

Valentine's Day present from Ben and it's.

Not quite what I was expecting.

So Valentine's Days Friday a couple of days away, so I got an early present.

I wasn't expecting it.

And tell me what you think about this huge right came in this big package, and I was like, oh, this is gonna be good. Started to unravel it a little like sports sweatband thing fell out and I was like, sweatband, what's that? He sent me an entire package of supplements for Valentine's Day. I got protein powders, creatine, amino acids. I got magnesium for recovery.

You do look like you've been bulking, so I'm looking hand. Actually it's not true. You actually are so fit because of dancing with the stars at the moment.

Well, so he sent me this, and at the start, I was like, what a random Valentine's Day present? But then when I thought about it, it doesn't scream romance, but it screams thought. Like he's put a lot of thought into what I actually need right now that I probably wouldn't get myself, and that costs money. And he sent me all these like recovery brain function things.

Is you?

I was like, Babe, talk me through the creatine. He goes, well, Creatine's really good for brain functions. So I just thought i'd top you up on that.

Were you like, have I been displaying symptoms of poor brain function? Thus far? Much of a thoughtful honey, thank you?

But I thought, do you know what, this is the best present I've had in a long time because it's thoughtful.

But do you think it's because so for anyone who doesn't know, Ben is a professional sports person, he's soccer. Do you not think it's because you're training all time? We're dancing at the moment, So he's like, I know what you need. No that's what it is. Yeah, So I mean it's functional and high performance. And if it's also functional and it's thoughtful.

Yep, he really put the thoughting. So I take it. It's not Jeweli, it's not perfume.

But would you preferred, if you're going to pick something, was it creatine or was it a ring?

It was a brain function?

Well, I mean we all need improvements somewhere, don't we, You know what? Like being a mom. I feel like every single day with my kids, I learned something new or they do something new that really just tests my patience.

Aren't they supposed to learn something new?

God? No, it's a mutually exchange of learning parenthood and children, Like they're learning like how to live and function and I'm learning how to survive.

So what was this week's lesson?

So I told you part of this on our podcast on Laugh and Cut Bread. But basically, Lola is an interesting little creature. She's four years old, and she's filled with very big emotions and doesn't really know how to control them.

She's the personality higher of the family.

Right, Yeah, I said that.

Yeah, that was a lawa quote. Sorry, I'm not making that statement about someone else, as I.

Don't know if you can actually say that about your own kids already did I know? And now I feel like I should take a back. She's just full of personality. She's very funny. She honestly is such a little entertaining human. But she also has like massive swings of emotion. And that's when I find it difficult to manage her, because once she's on that swing of emotion, there is nothing that de escalates her. So she went through this real phase. And she's only just turned four, but she's a big

You're just thrown in the conflimence.

But she's like tall, she's a big girl, and she would like if she got so filled with anger, she would just start hitting or kicking right. And once we got to that point, like there's not a lot that I can do to try and bring her back down. And because she's quite strong, like if she socker punches you,

Where has she learned this? I do it all the time when I don't break this up? One of you've been mooning each other? Is this how you and Matt do conflict resolution? Do you just like have a fire who packed the dishwasher and then just pull your pants down?

But I could end differently.

I actually think it would work. If you were having a real fight with your husband and they just and mooned you, you wouldn't be able to take him seriously. Well, it's a good way of do the escalating an argument.

It'd go straight to the makeup. If you know what I mean.

No, absolutely don't know what I mean. I do know what you mean. I think I'd have an instant it for my husband if his response to every argument was to pull his buttcherks apart.

But what is worse violence or in decent exposure?

Because at the moment, Laola's doing both.

I find it amusing that my children find new ways pretty much every day to assault me. I'm like at the point now where I'm like, look, what's worse? Being hit is far worse. So like now it's and because it's quite funny, so I have to try and walk away and keep a straight face and not react to that. How do you do?

I hate the Storytop?

Oh, please go When did you moan someone when you were so angry.

When I used to work as a nanny in Italy and I had these two kids.

That's just your storytop Already your life is better than mine.

Well, I don't have kids, but I sort of did for a while.

It was like a full time living nanny, and the parents were pilots and air hostesses, so they would just leave me for days on end. This was not what I signed up for anyway. Their kids were so bad that they would walk around the house and when they were angry at me, pull their pants down, moon me and pooh onto the ground. I wish I was lying. They would take a dump on the kitchen floor.

Yep. I would just put newspaper over it and move around it.

No, you can't, they're not. It's not an animal.

Yellah.

That's when a chance kids are out when you say, okay, I'm so sorry you've come home. Your kids on here. I put them up for adoption. So it's terrible, but that's the only option.

I'm not kidding. It happened so many times.

Did you quit?

Yeah, and I want to quit my own.

Family when she does it to me, let alone, being and nanny that's getting paid for it.

I had to hitch hike because they wouldn't. They wouldn't, dude, I don't even know how I survived. So we're in this little country town and I was like, I can't live here anymore. This is wild and they wouldn't take me to the main town. So I had to hitch hike from a country town to Milan and then get a bus from Milan. And like that was how I got out. A hitch hiked that could have ended very differently.

This still I know places that I never thought it would. And all I'm worrying now is that the only place for Lola to go was the follow through. So that's what we're left with everyone.

That might be the next step when she can't control her anywer.

I hope not. Anyway, I update you all on it later now, Britt. Yesterday we were talking about Chrissy Teagan who's gotten herself into a bit of hot water way again habits Okay, So for like a little recap on that. This is what happened on the show yesterday. She had a bath and posted it on social media.

Slow newsweek.

But she was in the bath with her three kids, and so the thing that people had an issue about was that her oldest son, Miles six years old, was he too old to be having a bath with his mum. That was a big question that was raised. Also, some conversations around like the privacy of the kids in general. Something else, though, did come up on that comment thread, and it was around the color of the bath water. Now, with four people in the bath, you would expect that

Okay, I'm going to come to Chrissy's defense for a hot second.

She needs you. She's been dying.

It was coconut milk.

She didn't know this.

She said, I'm having a coconut milk bath. That's the headline of the article.

That's fair. I would have thought you start to having four bodies in a bath. It would have been a bit soupy anyway.

But it did open so I think Chrissy Teagan has enough money and the suitability to have a clean bath. I think that that's not it. She has coconut milk bus So it makes the cloudy. But it did open up the discussion of is it suitable to reuse bath water because a lot of people are saying that no, like, if you've got one child or one person in the bath, you can't just put them like a conger line.

I mean you can and evidently this is what all of our parents did when we were kids. Like it was like your sister gets out, and then it's like, all right, your sister's out of the bath. Maybe you'd be lucky if they topped it up with a bit of hot water and then you'd get in.

Oh, we tagged teams. There were four of us, and bath time was a whole thing.

Like you knew it was time, and you lined up, you had your minutes, and then the last two people had a refiel from hot water from the kettle. Why is no one discussing whether or not this is okay, Like in general, if you're the last kid who's had to bath in four other people's bath water, like I'm just going to take a punt that that's not particularly clean, Like that kid's getting wet, but they're not getting clean.

Like we're not going to go bathing in urine?

I have a question, and this is a parenting question, and does this make me a bad parent? If you have a small child and a big bath, lots of water to pee ratio, and halfway through your toddler you can see that they've done away or they've done it on purpose, like the older they get, then they're just you know, it's a free for all. Do you drain the bath or do you just kind of you know, give them a quick rinse down with some soap and get them out and tie them off? What would you do?

Let me ask you what you think is okay here?

Do you think it's okay to put your kid, your next kid into urine?

No?

I don't mean you bathed the other kid. I'm more mean, do you have to like rewash the kid that just went in the bath?

I think you could dunk them in the shower, all right. I don't think i'd do that. I don't think you leave a urine on the skin.

I had this debate with my mother in law recently because our youngest got into the bath, and as soon as she got into the bath, even though she'd been to the toilet beforehand. She weed in the bath, and my mother in law drained the entire bath and refilled it. So then I had a toddler crying because she was cold, and it was just a whole ordeal. And in my mind I was like, oh, I just let her washing it. And now I realized that maybe that was not the

Don't think that's okay. But do you know what I did read? I don't know how much truth throws to this produced to Grace. If you could google this as we speak, I read that there is more bacteria in tap water than there is in urine.

The facts that you bring to this show that are deeply untrue on the rag.

But I is concerning I'm openly saying I don't know, but I've read it and it could have been dolly doctor. I could have been in a medical journal. I don't know, but producer Grace is going to okay.

Generally speaking, there are significantly less bacteria in healthy urine compared to tap order.

Thank you, fine, thank you.

She can bathe in it all day.

You better have to drink your urine.

No, please, it is time for the investigation that has been brewing for the last couple of days. Britt, you're not aware about what this entails, but it is an investigation into what has been going on here at the pickup I.

Know nothing about this investigation. So you're saying, like, it's time to put this investigation to bed.

I didn't even know.

It existed and you were at the center of this.

Okay, what have I done?

So? You know how like when you think of Ghostbusters and sometimes like someone will take a photo and then there's like a mirage or something in the mirror and that's how they know there's a ghost there. Well, there was like a ghost baby the other day.

What are you actually talking about?

So we did our normal pickup show, and somewhere in the studio there was a ghost baby.

Okay.

We even received an email from our bosses saying, why is there a baby in the studio.

Which means there's definitely has not been a baby in a studio.

No, there's never been a baby in the studio, like, not that I'm aware of, not that you're aware of, not the producer Grace is aware of. And we all went back through the audio to try and find the ghost Baby, and well there she was. Have a listen to this.

I would want to go and make sure they were okay too.

My mom didn't come. My mom sent her mum to come and get me. Okay, I remember the time. I was, wait, let's just have a listen or what is that? Let's just have it listen to the ghost Baby again, because you know, with all the technology that we have here at the show, we've managed to isolate the sound, We've amplified it. We really wanted to have a clear, a clear understanding of what this sound was.

It sounds like there's a dying cow. It doesn't sound like a baby.

It sounds like a.

Little calf has been born.

Well, Bretty Hargley, I have some very unfortunate news for you. That sound is in fact your laugh. That is the start of your laugh. No it's not, Yes it is.

That is not that is a cow, that is not me.

And that noise came out of your microphone.

Have we verified that we have, Yes, we checked the footage as well.

That sound on footage as well. Yeah, please we just play it one more time. How is it even humanly possible that I don't understand. I'm so embarrassed.

I don't believe it until I see that that's I don't. I don't, I don't.

I have always stood up for your laugh because it is honestly one of the most joyful parts of this show.

It is.

But your laugh, I think evolves as much as your hair does, like if for anyone who doesn't know, Brick changes her hairstyle very frequently. But your laugh it goes to these many different phases. You're in a snorting phase at.

The moment, it's pretty manic.

I am manic, and now there's like a ghost baby phase. But we just thought everyone might really want to enjoy, like.

Hang on, hang on. Did our boss message and say who's the baby? And it was me.

Our boss thought that there was a baby in the studio and wanted to know where the baby had come from, and Britt, you were the baby.

So embarrassed, I didn't know.

This about me, You're the baby. But for everyone who hasn't you know, been able to experience the full breath, the full everything of BRIT's laugh, We've created a little compilation just so that you can all experience how absolutely magnificent it is.

Turn off now if you want to keep your e this is for.

You, thank you for all the good times.

What the hell is wronging?

Mere? I sound like Marge Simpson.

That's second play, the second one. The second one was sorry, great, the second one, I sound like Marge Simpson. Legitimately listen to this.

I'm so mortified that that I did tell you the other day tonight.

It's so good. I love your laugh so much.

The baby, the baby one. I'll wait to see proof after that.

I'm not sure that that's me yet, but I did say the other day on a plane, someone stopped me down the aisle like there were seats away, and then they popped their head up after I laughed, and they were like, I know that laugh.

Are you on radio? And that was a low point for me.

I was like, wow, if it's that stand out that people can hear it down the plane, I have issues.

You know. People either love it or they're tuning on to another radio station. Stay.

Who knows what my laugh will be next week
