Speaker 1: Come on.
Speaker 2: Oh hello everyone, Hello, Hello, Happy Thursday, guys.
Speaker 3: Hi guys, I've had the most embarrassing afternoon of my life.
Speaker 4: What's happened to?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 5: I just feel like this is going to be an exaggeration.
Speaker 3: No, this is true, and I'm not adding any mayo
Speaker 3: to it. As you know, I'm in my fit girl
Speaker 3: era and I'm walking every day. You doing my hot
Speaker 3: girl walks.
Speaker 2: Every single day. I'm enjoying the constant Instagram updates.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 4: It's it's what's it called accountability?
Speaker 3: That's accountability and insanity. I think because I've developed these
Speaker 3: blisters on my feet because I'm running ten kilometers a day.
Speaker 3: So I thought I'll treat myself to get some new shoes.
Speaker 3: So I've just been shopping to get a pair of shoes.
Speaker 3: I went to foot locker and you know what they
Speaker 3: have like that really fancy like bio scam that you
Speaker 3: stand on and they measure your feet.
Speaker 5: And like the pressure, the dispersion of weight.
Speaker 2: Yeah stuff, but you have the most just like we
Speaker 2: saw them on Monday, revolting blisters on your feet at
Speaker 2: the moment.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had to take my shoes off in the
Speaker 3: studio because they were so sore. So I go to
Speaker 3: take He goes, take your shoes and socks off. So
Speaker 3: I take my shoes and socks off, and I stand
Speaker 3: on the biometric scanner and my blister bursts on the
Speaker 3: footlo a biometric scanner?
Speaker 2: Did you stand on it with what was happening on
Speaker 2: your already discussion?
Speaker 5: That's fair because blisters, it's just scary. You wouldn't have
Speaker 5: known that's going to pop just from staining, but it was.
Speaker 3: It was such. It was such a big blister that
Speaker 3: the attendant you could hear it, and then it squirted
Speaker 3: about forty centimnutes and he went, I'm gonna have to
Speaker 3: get you to clean that up. And I said, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's there is brought me a rag and I just
Speaker 3: wiped it up.
Speaker 2: There is nothing more humiliating than having to clean up
Speaker 2: your own blister.
Speaker 4: Pass That was horriffic out of the foot that did you?
Speaker 5: Did you purchase the shoes?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got a heavy pronate.
Speaker 4: So I got everyone only up from here for the
Speaker 4: rest of the show.
Speaker 3: Put it that way, all right? It is big. Next
Speaker 3: we've got mask gun cut.
Speaker 4: This is the big question.
Speaker 2: Is it okay to get your partner to give up
Speaker 2: something that they love.

Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know the details. I'm going to say, yeah,

Speaker 2: Let's do this, Ladies, Ask Uncut, Ask gun Cut is
Speaker 2: a show favorite where you guys, you call in with
Speaker 2: your deepest, your darkest, your biggest problems and we do
Speaker 2: our best to answer them. We have Samara on the phone.
Speaker 2: She wants to know whether she could force her partner
Speaker 2: to give up some thing.
Speaker 7: Hi Samara, Hi, guys, I have a problem. So I
Speaker 7: have asked my boyfriend to stop vaping.
Speaker 4: Ah, what did we say?
Speaker 5: And what's the problem the credit vaping?
Speaker 7: So basically, for context, my grandfather, he has been a
Speaker 7: smoke about his whole life. It's kind of traumatic for
Speaker 7: me and I I'm so against it. I don't like smoking.
Speaker 7: I don't like vaping. It's just it's not for me.
Speaker 5: The problem is he hides it him. He does it
Speaker 5: at work. He has kind.
Speaker 7: Of said that he won't stop purely because everyone else
Speaker 7: does it, and you know he's basically addicted to it
Speaker 7: and he won't stop.
Speaker 1: How do you know he does it at work? Is
Speaker 1: it because he walks home like a big giant walking blueberry?
Speaker 5: Was that how he smells?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 7: And I've asked him and he also says like yeah,
Speaker 7: like I do, I do do it at work.
Speaker 4: So it's something.
Speaker 2: Is it something he started doing after you guys started
Speaker 2: dating or did you start dating him knowing that he
Speaker 2: was a vapor?
Speaker 5: Nope, it's a new thing. I'm you know, I don't
Speaker 5: find it hard to answer.
Speaker 1: I actually think you can one hundred percent do an
Speaker 1: ultimatum in this sense, like for me smoking smoking more
Speaker 1: so than vaping. But with this new research that vaping
Speaker 1: is just as bad for you as smoking, it's.
Speaker 5: A deal breaker for me.
Speaker 1: Someone's gonna smoke, I don't want to be with them,
Speaker 1: and it's just a personal choice.
Speaker 5: I don't think you can come in really aggressive, being
Speaker 5: like it's the vape on me.
Speaker 1: But I think you need to really get across your
Speaker 1: feelings how upset it makes you, how much you hate it,
Speaker 1: and how much you don't want to have a life
Speaker 1: with it, because that's what it is. And if he
Speaker 1: still doesn't understand it and doesn't even want to try and
Speaker 1: give it up, then I one hundred percent think it's
Speaker 1: reason to look at going elsewhere.
Speaker 3: Yeh, Devil's advocate, like it is a genuine addiction, Like
Speaker 3: these things are packed with nicotine.
Speaker 2: What does your boyfriend say when you explain to him
Speaker 2: how upset it makes you about your grandfather? Obviously this
Speaker 2: has been something that he's aware of, and then he's
Speaker 2: kind of disregarded your feelings about that and just gone
Speaker 2: and done it anyway.
Speaker 7: To him, it's no big deal because he doesn't have
Speaker 7: this I don't know traumatic background of you know, having
Speaker 7: a loved one who's suffered the consequences from smoking. I've
Speaker 7: told him how unattractive it is, Like, it's just it's
Speaker 7: not what I'm into, Like he is perfect and every
Speaker 7: other way besides that.
Speaker 2: Do you think that you would be able to be
Speaker 2: to be able to continue to be attracted to him
Speaker 2: if he does keep vaping, because I mean you might
Speaker 2: get the itch.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Like no, because I've set my boundaries and he
Speaker 7: is basically just ignoring them.
Speaker 1: It also looks ridiculous, like around with a vape with
Speaker 1: like blueberry and walnut whatever.
Speaker 4: Grow up.
Speaker 5: I know, it just looks.
Speaker 1: It looks stupid, and I understand it for people the
Speaker 1: only the only way I understand it is Mitch, you
Speaker 1: you are right. It's an addiction, and it's very easy
Speaker 1: for people that aren't addicted to say stop addictions, do
Speaker 1: control your life. I feel like a vape is a
Speaker 1: step in the right direction for people that smoke trying
Speaker 1: to weaken their way off it. And I'm all for
Speaker 1: people doing vaping as a way to completely stop smoking.
Speaker 1: But if it just doing it because you think it's cool, spoiler,
Speaker 1: it's not.
Speaker 5: You're like you need it.
Speaker 1: It's not cool to kill yourself I'll always say that, like,
Speaker 1: that's what smoking does. But it's not like smoking. We
Speaker 1: know the science says this is highly likely to kill
Speaker 1: you one day, to cause cancer, to do all these things,
Speaker 1: to have breathing problems, and people are still like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen to me.
Speaker 2: I mean, I completely agree with that, brit But it
Speaker 2: doesn't matter that it's smoking. I just think it's really disrespectful.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I actually have an idea because that the flavors
Speaker 3: of what hooked the young kids in. I think we
Speaker 3: actually should start making savory vapes and then no one
Speaker 3: will start smoking them. Like imagine being at the club
Speaker 3: and being like, can I have a suck you up
Speaker 3: your musaka? Please? Don't that bad boy like that' stopped
Speaker 3: people the kids from doing it. Do you think it
Speaker 3: was Brussels sprouts?
Speaker 4: Yes, I don't know, though I feel like the nicotine
Speaker 4: might be what keeps them addicted.
Speaker 3: Maybe all right, thanks Sami. If you want to get
Speaker 3: in touch, you can hit us up on the pickup
Speaker 3: dot com dot a U and get an ask gun
Speaker 3: cut on the air with us. We'll give you our advice.
Speaker 1: I feel like this is becoming like a really common occurrence.
Speaker 1: It's the Delilah dilemma. That's what I'm calling it, the
Speaker 1: Delilah dilemma. Dilemmas of Delilah. You want to go to
Speaker 1: is my dog, my Australian shepherd, And every week is
Speaker 1: another issue with her, and there's a pretty big one.
Speaker 5: And I don't know if I have the bigger problem
Speaker 5: or Delilah has the bigger problem.
Speaker 3: All right, I think it'll be you, but that will
Speaker 3: we discuss next Hates the pickup with Britt, Laura and
Speaker 3: Mitch Thursday, Avo. Welcome head into Chemists ware house today.
Speaker 3: Great savings.
Speaker 1: Every day there are wild scenes happening at the dog park.
Speaker 5: My dog, Delilah and I. It's become a thing. It's
Speaker 5: called Delilah's dilemma. Every week we have a dilemma.
Speaker 1: And this is probably the worst, I mean, the worst
Speaker 1: thing that's happened to us together since her conception two
Speaker 1: years ago. At the local dog park, there's always the
Speaker 1: same people and the same dogs in the area. Everyone
Speaker 1: knows each other. Okay, So at my dog park, I
Speaker 1: just found out through the grapevine that there was a
Speaker 1: birthday party, a dog's birthday party. What the owner did
Speaker 1: we send out invitations to all the.
Speaker 5: Dogs and the dog's owners because the dogs can't read.
Speaker 1: Send them out to the dogs and the dog's owners
Speaker 1: that they were having a birthday party for this dog.
Speaker 1: And then they hired a venue out for the dogs.
Speaker 1: They hired a mini van. No, the minivan went around
Speaker 1: and picked up all the dogs from their houses, not
Speaker 1: the owners.
Speaker 5: This is dogs only.
Speaker 1: They went to the venue that had loads of toys,
Speaker 1: dog cakes, everything, and they had a whole dog party
Speaker 1: with all the dogs that because they all know each other.
Speaker 5: Then they dropped them all home with goodie bags and
Speaker 5: it was a whole big thing. The only two dogs
Speaker 5: that weren't invited was Delilah and her best friend.
Speaker 2: No, Okay, there's so many things that's wrong with this one.
Speaker 2: I'm very sorry that Delilah was left.
Speaker 4: She's feeling really left out, and so am I.
Speaker 5: We're the only two people and there they're the same dog.
Speaker 1: So Delilahs an Australian Shepherd and the other dog that didn't
Speaker 1: get invited was also an Australian Shepherd.
Speaker 3: Why is that some sort of breed.
Speaker 5: A discrimina it's yeah, shepherd discrimination, I know.
Speaker 2: I think it is because Australian shepherds, as beautiful as
Speaker 2: they might be, are such a handful. Delilah is the cheekiest, naughtiest,
Speaker 2: like you. They wanted to have dogs there on supervised. Also,
Speaker 2: the party is weird. Af let's just get that out
Speaker 2: of the way. Said, there's something very wrong and you
Speaker 2: shouldn't be friends with that person who's having a dog
Speaker 2: party like that, because that's very strange.
Speaker 5: I actually think it's funny. The fact great. Do you
Speaker 5: know what? I love the people love their animal so
Speaker 5: much at their thrown parties. But it's like, I imagine
Speaker 5: I don't have kids.
Speaker 1: I imagine it's when there's a birthday party at school
Speaker 1: and all the kids get invited except that.
Speaker 5: One or two kids.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but if you're having a birthday party for all
Speaker 2: the kids and it's unsupervised, like you're not having the
Speaker 2: parents there, it's drop and go.
Speaker 4: No one wants a really naughty kid there.
Speaker 5: So you don't like the Adhd kid? Is that what
Speaker 5: you do, Laura?
Speaker 4: Okay, we're not saying that Delilah has eighty she does.
Speaker 3: She's got dog.
Speaker 5: She goes dog Adhd.
Speaker 4: Okay, No, you can't lean out any kids.
Speaker 5: It's a bit different with the but I think she knows.
Speaker 1: She's been acting differentling down, she's moping around the trees,
Speaker 1: and she's sort of looking on at the other dogs
Speaker 1: from she knows.
Speaker 3: Wait, did you take did you take her to the
Speaker 3: dog park on the day of the party, because then
Speaker 3: no dogs there and she would have known. She's hold
Speaker 3: on a second, there's something happening that I wasn't invited to.
Speaker 1: There was a WhatsApp grip between the dogs and they
Speaker 1: even put.
Speaker 2: That's what I want to know. How did you even
Speaker 2: find out about this? Do you have like a dog
Speaker 2: part WhatsApp group?
Speaker 7: Is that?
Speaker 6: How?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: There is?
Speaker 1: But the other dog there is the dog that didn't
Speaker 1: get invited. The other dog didn't get invited.
Speaker 5: They told me how did they?
Speaker 1: The dog told the dog and I was like, no
Speaker 1: way fightal yeah, no no. The other dog's parent told me.
Speaker 1: They're like, hey, I don't know if you heard yet.
Speaker 1: Our dogs with anyone's not invite spar So.
Speaker 3: This mum's bitching.
Speaker 1: She's no, she was just telling me the gods we're
Speaker 1: all still friends. We pretend like, I don't know if
Speaker 1: she knows that I know that she knows that I know.
Speaker 4: What do you do now?
Speaker 5: But I think I figured it out. It has to
Speaker 5: be because Delilah is just too good looking.
Speaker 1: Her friend is really good looking too, So I reckon
Speaker 1: they just didn't want the good looking dog.
Speaker 3: What do you reckon it is, Laura? Do you think
Speaker 3: it's because Delilah is too good looking? And answer honestly?
Speaker 3: Or is it because she's a menace of a dog? Why?
Speaker 2: Deliah is very good looking, she's a beautiful dog. But
Speaker 2: it always needs to be supervised.
Speaker 3: Let's leave it at that, so we don't hurt your feelings,
Speaker 3: all right. Next on the show, Oh my God, as
Speaker 3: you know, I'm a gen z, I'm very young. There's
Speaker 3: a new trend sweeping my gen that I think you're
Speaker 3: gonna love, actually, and I'll bring to the table. Next
Speaker 3: on the Pickup is it dog Parties? It's the Pickup
Speaker 3: Thursday AVO with Britt, Laura and Mitch. Try the new
Speaker 3: fragrance DC ten Sport one hundred mil by Dan Carter.
Speaker 3: That's what the DC stands for, New and Exclusive to

Speaker 3: as you know, I'm the youngest person in the history
Speaker 3: of the world to ever be on radio.
Speaker 5: Truly, you did just win the Guinness World Record.
Speaker 3: I did. I'm a gen Ze, I'm on a CASP.
Speaker 3: I can be gen zet or I can be millennial,
Speaker 3: but I identify with gen Z and especially at the
Speaker 3: moment with this new trend that is all over TikTok,
Speaker 3: and I think you two are gonna actually before this.
Speaker 6: Jobs not because we're being it's an anti hustle deg
Speaker 6: back in the day you would like be the first
Speaker 6: one into the office and the last one to live.
Speaker 6: This is basically saying true work quite balance, like all
Speaker 6: the stuff that I talk about here, working smarter, not harder.
Speaker 6: I'm saying yes to that learning opportunity because we know
Speaker 6: it's not just a learning opportunity that would give us
Speaker 6: a readers. It usually doesn't happen like that, right, they're
Speaker 6: just getting I just count on labor. Everything that I'm
Speaker 6: talking about here is considered lazy if you compare it
Speaker 6: to the toxic corporate workplace expectations.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah. So now women across the globe are
Speaker 3: quitting their jobs and getting menial, stress free office jobs,
Speaker 3: which all that they really need to do is copy
Speaker 3: and paste sense some emails they get an hourbal long
Speaker 3: lunch break, and they work in nine to five and
Speaker 3: they check out.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, I'm not about this. She's a twat. This
Speaker 5: is the problem.
Speaker 1: If you're actually happy in your life to go through
Speaker 1: this with no ambition, no drive, not wanting to actually
Speaker 1: do the best that you can do, do it. But
Speaker 1: that's on you. I could think of nothing worse than
Speaker 1: being an underachiever and taking advantage of people that are
Speaker 1: paying me and giving me a job.
Speaker 5: Sorry, it's canceled the lazy girl.
Speaker 2: For me, Okay, Britt, I agree with a lot of this.
Speaker 2: I really do, because I think that there's nothing less
Speaker 2: attractive than someone who just has zero ambition or desire
Speaker 2: to do anything Like I mean, how boring would it
Speaker 2: get if you spent all day copying and pasting a
Speaker 2: couple of emails and listening to podcasts? Sounds great for
Speaker 2: a week. Two years of doing that, you're not going
Speaker 2: to be very inspired by work. But I do think
Speaker 2: that when we were younger, like when we were in
Speaker 2: our getting our first jobs in our early twenties and whatnot,
Speaker 2: the expectation to hustle so hard was almost too much.
Speaker 2: Like I used to drive two hours, two hours to work,
Speaker 2: two hours home from work, to make less than thirty
Speaker 2: thousand dollars a year and still live with my mother.
Speaker 1: It's not about hustling, it's just about work ethic. Imagine, Laura,
Speaker 1: you're a business owner. Imagine if you found out that
Speaker 1: all your employees were in a group text laughing, taking
Speaker 1: the pierce, that they listen to podcasts, take breaks whenever
Speaker 1: they want on your money.
Speaker 6: They do.
Speaker 3: They do because people do that, because we do it.
Speaker 3: Everyone does it.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I used to work ninety hours a week.
Speaker 5: It would never put.
Speaker 3: Myself in Why did you go home and bow down
Speaker 3: to your supervisor and go, I love you a man,
Speaker 3: I'll kiss your shoes.
Speaker 1: But you know, talk the about I worked in a
Speaker 1: hospital and then went to two other jobs when I
Speaker 1: wasn't there. And that's not because it's because there's work ethic.
Speaker 1: I want to get a heading life, and that's what
Speaker 1: you have to do.
Speaker 2: I also think, though, that there's a big responsibility that
Speaker 2: lies on the employer, and it lies on the culture
Speaker 2: of the company, because if you do have people who
Speaker 2: are truly lazy in your office environment, those people stand
Speaker 2: out like a sore thumb. So I almost don't blame
Speaker 2: the people who are kind of the lazy girls and
Speaker 2: they're brought in the system. It also comes down to
Speaker 2: the culture of what the company is that you work at.
Speaker 3: I'm also all for it because at the end of
Speaker 3: the day, you're only going to be abused by someone else.
Speaker 3: You shouldn't just be allowed to be abused by those
Speaker 3: that are above you. Take advantage of them, back power,
Speaker 3: back your own hands, because this isn't this She's not
Speaker 3: going to continue like this for her life. This could
Speaker 3: be for a three month period while you recover from something.
Speaker 3: This could be for six months while you save up.
Speaker 3: You don't have to hustle your whole life. I think
Speaker 3: it's an empowering choice that someone can be.
Speaker 1: But it's not about hustling. And God knows where you
Speaker 1: got abuse from. This is nothing to do with abuse.
Speaker 1: They're literally just saying, we want to do as little
Speaker 1: as possible in our life. You can have your nine
Speaker 1: to five, your Monday to Friday, but still do a
Speaker 1: good job, put the effort in. You don't have to
Speaker 1: sit there and literally take advantage of everyone else and
Speaker 1: be like I'm going to do nothing and get like
Speaker 1: they're bragging about the fact that they do nothing for
Speaker 1: a good paycheck, and I'm not about.
Speaker 5: It, and I agree.
Speaker 2: The big thing is is that this is the environment
Speaker 2: on TikTok, on social media where people see these aspirational
Speaker 2: lifestyles and they think, how can I achieve that with
Speaker 2: doing the least amount possible? And I do think that
Speaker 2: that's where the comparison culture of social media comes into play.
Speaker 2: And also it sets a super unrealistic expectation. Most people
Speaker 2: can't just have pushy jobs and get paid to do nothing.
Speaker 4: No, people build houses, people.
Speaker 2: Have got to go to work, they've got to be plumbers,
Speaker 2: They've got to do all many different things.
Speaker 4: People will just sit and push a couple of emails.
Speaker 3: I know it. On the flip side of that, imagine
Speaker 3: being these people watching influences get paid one hundred thousand
Speaker 3: dollars for one Instagram post. Why why should then other
Speaker 3: people be allowed to go and do a nine to
Speaker 3: five and have to hustle and work under someone and
Speaker 3: work hard and respect They don't.
Speaker 1: Start their own business if they want it's not take
Speaker 1: advantage of someone else's money and then go see how
Speaker 1: hard you actually have.
Speaker 3: To get A lazy girl job and do it on
Speaker 3: the side. I'm all for this is why I'm jen
Speaker 3: Z and I fully identify. You guys are boomers. I've understood,
Speaker 3: and I'm a gen Z and I connect.
Speaker 5: I think what we're hearing is you're lazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I own a couple of businesses and you would
Speaker 2: be fine, let's up, we're done.
Speaker 3: That's us.
Speaker 2: Lazy girl would say, it's so nice to end a
Speaker 2: show on an argument.
Speaker 5: Doesn't know and let's continue. We've got a lot to
Speaker 5: talk about me.
Speaker 3: She's like, now I get a wrap there. Yeah, I've
Speaker 3: got a break. I'm putting.
Speaker 4: You talk about this, but you're coming back tonight. You're
