Speaker 2: I'm a host who pulled out no one.
Speaker 3: I someone qualified.
Speaker 1: I finally had time. They've been begging me, ah and

Speaker 1: I'll throw you a bone, come on the show.
Speaker 2: Do you know what seat you're sitting in?
Speaker 4: Because as far as I'm concerned, watching the project John
Speaker 4: Channel ten every night. On the left is the funny person.
Speaker 4: On the right is the serious person. Where are you sitting?
Speaker 1: No, No, I'm in the middle left because I'm important
Speaker 1: and funny.
Speaker 3: No, you are sitting on the right.
Speaker 5: And that's usually the person that doesn't really know what
Speaker 5: they're doing but just adds a little bit of flavor.
Speaker 2: Laura's done at a bunch of times. You're fantastic. What's
Speaker 2: your advice for britt Just smile a lot and use
Speaker 2: your hands.
Speaker 3: If you don't know what to say, just do this.
Speaker 2: What if there's a tragic news story that's breaking.
Speaker 1: Don't use your hands today on the news, I talked
Speaker 1: with my hands anyway, you know, I talked with my hand.
Speaker 2: Laura's just done Dancing with the Stars. So Laura said,
Speaker 2: you need.
Speaker 4: To do the charcher delivering the news if I can
Speaker 4: sumber up to the desk.
Speaker 3: I just realized I got my shows mixed up.
Speaker 2: Don't do that.
Speaker 3: That's terrible advice.
Speaker 2: Wrong show. We'll good luck, Britt, We love you. You'll
Speaker 2: be great tonight. Thanks, guys. I'm stilled to come.
Speaker 4: Imagine being in a relationship for almost a year and
Speaker 4: the person you're with refuses to commit.
Speaker 3: I did. That's an entire year, entire life.
Speaker 4: It's universal, it's real. It's a real issue that people face.
Speaker 4: We've got a listener on the show wanting our advice.
Speaker 4: Also on the show today, Taylor Swift's Air as Well
Speaker 4: tour is coming to Australia. We've been doing it all week.
Speaker 4: We have your free Taylor tickets coming up really soon.
Speaker 4: So we've reserved an entire row of tickets for you.
Speaker 2: And your friend.
Speaker 1: Absolutely the prize of the Central I.
Speaker 5: Mean not even we could get tickets to Taylor Swift.
Speaker 5: So you know I have a bit of a so
Speaker 5: what about I am still working on it. I have
Speaker 5: put a call out. I will sell a kidney for
Speaker 5: some tickets.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well your chance at a full row coming up soon.
Speaker 2: Here at the pickup.
Speaker 4: Oh, thanks to chemists ware house heading today, great savings
Speaker 4: every day Thursday afternoon, it is the pick up Britt,
Speaker 4: Laura and Mitch. Thanks to Chemists ware house heading today,
Speaker 4: great savings every day.
Speaker 5: Ask our cut, So asking cut it is a favorite
Speaker 5: that we do here every Thursday. It is where you
Speaker 5: call in with your biggest, deeps, darkest problems and we
Speaker 5: do our best to answer them, even though we're completely unqualified.
Speaker 5: And we have someone in today who's got a relationship problem.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Alyssa joins us. Hailey, start, what's your issue? What
Speaker 2: can we help with?
Speaker 4: Hi?
Speaker 6: I've been dating a guy for a year and a half.
Speaker 7: Now we are.
Speaker 6: Quote unquote exclusive, but not in a relationship.
Speaker 1: Congratulations.
Speaker 3: Wait, it's elusive, but not in a relationship.
Speaker 7: Mean it means that we're not seeing other people.
Speaker 6: It means we sort of act like a couple, except
Speaker 6: for the fact that there's no commitment.
Speaker 1: You're not seeing other people, but you could if you
Speaker 1: want to do.
Speaker 7: We're not seeing other people, but we're not boyfriend and girlfriend,
Speaker 7: which is weird because like I've met his parents, I've
Speaker 7: met all of his friends, I've met his workplace, He's
Speaker 7: come to my work party. You know, we've spoken about
Speaker 7: potential overseas trips. He went and took me the other
Speaker 7: week to this like really expensive like two thousand dollars
Speaker 7: a night at Duick's enclosure.
Speaker 8: Sing.
Speaker 5: Now he's doing everything that you would do if you
Speaker 5: are boyfriend and girlfriend, but he doesn't want to call
Speaker 5: you his girlfriend, and he doesn't want you to call
Speaker 5: him your boyfriend.
Speaker 6: Yeah, basically, I mean I think the only thing that
Speaker 6: I don't have is because there's not that official commitment
Speaker 6: like like once a month. Sometimes he'll just randomly go
Speaker 6: cold for like a few days.
Speaker 2: Yeah, dumb, dumb it up.
Speaker 4: So what do you call each other when you go out? Like, oh,
Speaker 4: can I get a drink for my co worker, my acquaintance.
Speaker 6: Each other's name.
Speaker 5: The reason why I think that this is so especially
Speaker 5: because it's been going on for a year and a half,
Speaker 5: which if you want to be in a relationship with
Speaker 5: him and you want a committed relationship is just way
Speaker 5: too long. The reason for that is because he gets
Speaker 5: all the perks of having a girlfriend. You're doing everything
Speaker 5: that a girlfriend's doing for him. He gets to have
Speaker 5: someone to call whenever he needs it. He gets someone
Speaker 5: a booty call whenever he needs it. He has the companionship,
Speaker 5: the friendship, and zero responsibility. Because if he turns around
Speaker 5: to tomorrow and says, look, I don't want to be
Speaker 5: with you anymore, he's going to say, but I told
Speaker 5: you I didn't want a girlfriend totally.
Speaker 3: Why did you?
Speaker 5: How could you possibly be so mad and upset with
Speaker 5: me because I've been telling you this whole time I
Speaker 5: didn't want a girlfriend.
Speaker 1: These situations are absolutely fine if both parties think it's
Speaker 1: fine and it's a respectful situation. Obviously you're at a
Speaker 1: point where you don't think it's fine. You want more,
Speaker 1: and he's not being respectful to me. That's a level
Speaker 1: of disrespect. So I think if you want a relationship,
Speaker 1: you need to just tell him what you want, and
Speaker 1: if he's not going to meet you there, you need
Speaker 1: to probably walk away.
Speaker 2: Is he older than you or is he younger?
Speaker 6: Is? Yeah, and he's five years older actually yeah, I
Speaker 6: actually have tried to end it a couple of times, but.
Speaker 7: Honestly, like I'm just so in love with him, I
Speaker 7: couldn't stand my ground long enough and I ended up
Speaker 7: crawling back because I just I had such bad anxiety
Speaker 7: and like every day look.
Speaker 6: At my phone.
Speaker 5: Have you have you ever given him the oldimatum around?
Speaker 5: If you want this to continue, then I need more.
Speaker 5: I need more from you.
Speaker 6: I feel like I have an a roundabout way, I
Speaker 6: potentially haven't been directed off.
Speaker 5: And what does he say to you when you do
Speaker 5: bring this up, even in an a roundabout way?
Speaker 6: He says that he sorry, I'm getting really much sure,
Speaker 6: it's really He says that he's not ready to love
Speaker 6: someone else because he doesn't love himself, because.
Speaker 7: He within himself has the mental health staff, which is
Speaker 7: why I want to help him, and I want to
Speaker 7: help him feel love.
Speaker 4: As much as you love him, you need to put
Speaker 4: that love towards yourself. You can't be giving that to
Speaker 4: him because no amount of love you give him will
Speaker 4: ever be enough or.
Speaker 3: We'll fix that problem.
Speaker 5: My other big question is is if he's saying these
Speaker 5: things to you, that's a huge responsibility for you to
Speaker 5: take on, and he also needs to be going and
Speaker 5: doing things like going and seeing a healthcare professional, going
Speaker 5: and speaking to a psychiatrist. If he's got real mental
Speaker 5: health problems. You're not the person who should take on
Speaker 5: the full brunt of the responsibility to fix that for him,
Speaker 5: not his mother.
Speaker 7: You're not.
Speaker 1: And the other thing to really remember here is so
Speaker 1: you can be head over heels in love with somebody,
Speaker 1: they can love you and you cannot be right for
Speaker 1: each other like that happens. Love doesn't mean soulmate and
Speaker 1: perfection and healthy relationship. It sounds like you're not going
Speaker 1: to get what you need from him, and as high
Speaker 1: as it is, you need to look after you and
Speaker 1: put your priorities first.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Also, sometimes a bit of space in a relationship can
Speaker 4: do wonders. Just pull yourself away, call his bluff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 5: I think sometimes giving yourself a bit of space and
Speaker 5: saying look, you know, either step up to the table
Speaker 5: or I think we might need to take a break
Speaker 5: from this might actually be the thing that makes him
Speaker 5: go Okay, Well, I don't want to lose this relationship
Speaker 5: because at the moment he's getting everything he wants without
Speaker 5: any commitment.
Speaker 6: I feel like I can can do that, but I
Speaker 6: mind need to give you guys my phone yea.
Speaker 3: In the pickup. It's fine. Sometimes you have to lock
Speaker 3: mitches away.
Speaker 1: Too far and please let us know how it goes
Speaker 1: once you have the conversation. Would love to hear.
Speaker 9: Thanks so much, girls, I really appreciate it.
Speaker 4: No way, Alissa, I'm a boy now if you want to,
Speaker 4: if you want to get on the air with us,
Speaker 4: you can ride in.
Speaker 2: There's a full dedicated web page.

Speaker 4: It's the pick up Thursday, Britt and Laura and Mitch
Speaker 4: here or thanks to chemist where house head in today
Speaker 4: get great savings every day.
Speaker 3: I need to talk to you about a TikTok.
Speaker 1: Have you ever gone on a date with someone in
Speaker 1: something you've gotten the ick?
Speaker 3: Like you know the ick right?
Speaker 1: Yes, there has been at this TikTok going viral about
Speaker 1: this ick that this girl got on a date and
Speaker 1: it's pretty funny. She's went out to dinner with him whatever.
Speaker 1: They went back to his apartment and she's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna excuse myself to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 1: And she went into the bathroom and what she saw
Speaker 1: horrified her.
Speaker 2: A corpse in the bathtub, fungle cream.
Speaker 1: Worse, she saw none other than seventeen herbal Essence shampoos
Speaker 1: and body washers in the shower.
Speaker 3: Wait, so.
Speaker 2: Corpse bottles.
Speaker 5: So this is why it's funny, right, because it started
Speaker 5: this big debate is this is this bad?
Speaker 1: So she's in the bathroom. She sees seventeen bottles of
Speaker 1: her Blessings, the exact same one, the exact same flavor.
Speaker 3: They're not all.
Speaker 1: Empty, and he hasn't just been lazy and hasn't taken
Speaker 1: them out. Some are empty, summer full, some are midlength,
Speaker 1: some are three quarters like, they're all different, and there's
Speaker 1: seventeen together. Now she has tiktoked live. She's in the bathroom.
Speaker 1: She's going, I don't know what to do. I think
Speaker 1: I need to I think this is a red flags.
Speaker 2: A good idea because he could be a creep, a
Speaker 2: serial killer.
Speaker 1: I think it's hilarious. I don't think seventeen shampoo bottles
Speaker 1: is a red flag for a serial killer A guy
Speaker 1: he's just lazy.
Speaker 2: No, that is a red What is he holding them
Speaker 2: like it's a shrike?
Speaker 1: I think his mum just gets coupons and she gets
Speaker 1: like she might have a VP to her blessings.
Speaker 5: I don't know, yes, but what sort of manchild doesn't
Speaker 5: finish a bottle of shampoo before opening up the next
Speaker 5: Why has he opened all seventeen at varying degrees of use?
Speaker 1: I must admit I have a lot of shampoo and
Speaker 1: conditioner in my showers, different levels of.
Speaker 3: How many bottles do you think you have?
Speaker 1: I'll have I'll take a photo at home.
Speaker 3: I've got a lot.
Speaker 5: The last time I was in your shower, they're all
Speaker 5: very showered. They were very moldy in the bottom, which
Speaker 5: makes me think you don't clean out your shower more
Speaker 5: so than just like collecting bottles.
Speaker 4: I know this feeling when you're with when it's a
Speaker 4: new date or you're seeing someone for the first time
Speaker 4: and you just notice something.
Speaker 2: That's off and you go, oh, that's odd. Should I
Speaker 2: worry about that? Or should I ignore it.
Speaker 1: I remember I haven't been on the date once. And
Speaker 1: I went back to the house and in his room
Speaker 1: it was just filled shelves, the bed, the beds on
Speaker 1: the table, there was a chair in the corner.
Speaker 5: It was filled with like soft toys, but like he
Speaker 5: was collecting Teddy Bears.
Speaker 1: And it was a real Australian theme, so like a
Speaker 1: lot of Australian animal.
Speaker 2: Bright red hair on.
Speaker 5: If you go, if you get to a man's house,
Speaker 5: this is what. I'm a grown man and he's got
Speaker 5: a collection of Teddies.
Speaker 1: It's not like it no, because there's nothing crazy, but
Speaker 1: it's also enough to be like, oh, I don't know
Speaker 1: if I'm into.
Speaker 4: The thirteen six five? What made you leave the house?
Speaker 4: What major leave the date? Bella, what happened to you?
Speaker 10: I hear you with the soft toys? And I'm going
Speaker 10: to take it higher. So I'll see this guy about
Speaker 10: the third date, right, And.
Speaker 9: I was, yeah, cool, I like him, well doing a
Speaker 9: Netflix and chill session. And we got in there, we
Speaker 9: had a popcorn, we had a more teasers. I was
Speaker 9: already and you know, flapped up the hell that kind
Speaker 9: of thing, and you know how it comes up like
Speaker 9: recently watched on your Netflix, like.
Speaker 2: Last programs that you've you've been watching.
Speaker 10: There was just all these kids shows like Dora.
Speaker 5: No, maybe he shares his subscription with someone who has
Speaker 5: a kid, got.
Speaker 10: Their own signing like and I asked him. I was like,
Speaker 10: do you have a nephew or a niece or no?
Speaker 10: He was an early child, so.
Speaker 3: And he was watching the Wiggles.
Speaker 10: Yes, some good songs, but come on.
Speaker 2: Did you get the big red car and zoo out
Speaker 2: of there?
Speaker 10: I was gone. I was literally gone before we could
Speaker 10: even order dinner.
Speaker 4: Okay, it's a.
Speaker 3: Thing, right, it's not. It's not.
Speaker 1: I was like, he's not a serial killer, but it's
Speaker 1: something that's like, it's just not right.
Speaker 2: Georgia on thirteen one, six five Why did you leave?
Speaker 5: The day?
Speaker 8: I went home with a guy after the club and
Speaker 8: upon coming into his house, in his bedroom he had posters.
Speaker 8: But they weren't just like normal posters. They were the
Speaker 8: old you know, in the middle of the magazine, the
Speaker 8: half page ones that you pull out put on your wall,
Speaker 8: and they were like Nelly and Neo and I think
Speaker 8: it was on the star wall. What I'm talking like
Speaker 8: a twenty seven year old man with magazine cutouts on
Speaker 8: his wall. It was cop of cringe worthy me.
Speaker 3: Wait, what did you say?
Speaker 4: Me?
Speaker 3: Did you leave? Were you like okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5: I can't be intimate with a man who's got cutouts
Speaker 5: of his favorite rappers on the.
Speaker 3: Wach say it's getting in here.
Speaker 2: After you guys get intimate. It's like, do you want
Speaker 2: to read a copy of Dolly?
Speaker 3: I once went home with a guy who put on
Speaker 3: the ride at that? How does he? And I was
Speaker 3: like this, it's got to be satirical.
Speaker 4: Wait, and it wasn't all right. Next on the show, hey, listen,
Speaker 4: I have a health update. As you know, I'm in
Speaker 4: my period of health and wellness.
Speaker 5: You are you were dropping? You were like wasting away
Speaker 5: right in front of our eyes.
Speaker 2: I'm thin and brittle. I mean I'm chicken breast and bruccoli.
Speaker 3: And sniffing lettuce and all.
Speaker 4: For a good reason. And I've got a big announcement
Speaker 4: to make after this. On the pick Up, it is
Speaker 4: the Pickup with Britt, Laura and Mitch rushing to chemist
Speaker 4: Warehouse Now to get a half price off the Nature's
Speaker 4: Own Vitamin range. It excludes bulk sizes. Chemists Warehouse Great
Speaker 4: savings every day. Those that don't know, I've actually today
Speaker 4: officially it marks a ten kilo point. I've lost ten kilos.
Speaker 3: That is a huge achievement.
Speaker 5: And also I say this because when I walk in,
Speaker 5: I'm like, who is that slim.
Speaker 3: Handsome looking man sitting there image True's chair. Sometimes it's you.
Speaker 1: I know, Oh we did with shavey his hair off.
Speaker 1: Tankilo has gone. I'm actually he's taken it very seriously.
Speaker 1: Mitch and I were at lunch a couple of days ago,
Speaker 1: and I thought you were joking, but you weren't. The
Speaker 1: salad came out.
Speaker 5: It was a salad, and not only did he ask
Speaker 5: for the croutons on the side because he wanted one,
Speaker 5: he then said he didn't think he could eat all
Speaker 5: the olives and feta because he was really calorie counting
Speaker 5: that day.
Speaker 1: So I ate his feta and olives out of his
Speaker 1: salad like.
Speaker 3: You are being so.
Speaker 2: I'm really strict. Olives are a Tuesday Friday food.
Speaker 3: That's probably a little bit too strict. I enjoy yourself
Speaker 3: a bit.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: I'm worried about you. I'm also happy for you.
Speaker 4: At the same time, I don't want to paint a
Speaker 4: negative picture. I you know, I've spoken about it overly
Speaker 4: on this show. I've gone through a big breakup my
Speaker 4: partner of five years and I split. I was the
Speaker 4: heaviest I'd ever been coming out of COVID, and I
Speaker 4: was comfort in a relationship and I needed to kick
Speaker 4: up the butt because I wasn't healthy.
Speaker 2: I didn't feel good. I felt sluggish. I was so tired.
Speaker 4: And seriously, with his ten kilo weight loss in about
Speaker 4: eight weeks, I feel so much better already, and I
Speaker 4: feel good. So I'm embracing it. I'm walking every day,
Speaker 4: I'm counting my steps.
Speaker 1: What do you think the biggest thing has been just
Speaker 1: making sure you walk every day? Do you think that's
Speaker 1: been the real.
Speaker 2: No, it's the protein farts.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, yeah's you now smell like my husband.
Speaker 5: He's needed doing protein farts for you. And honestly, meles
Speaker 5: like you've eaten a pound of rotting meat.
Speaker 2: Well, Laura and I have.
Speaker 1: Actually, we want to support you on this journey in
Speaker 1: this quest. So we have put together like the top
Speaker 1: trending wellness trends and we want to read something out
Speaker 1: and we think that you should pick one to try.
Speaker 5: Well, we've done this because we know that you are dedicated,
Speaker 5: and you've said to us that you will try anything
Speaker 5: on your quest to be the fittest version of Misterrui.
Speaker 2: That you could. Okay, I'm interested, I'm down.
Speaker 3: I like a challenge, but you have to pick one
Speaker 3: of them.
Speaker 2: Oh, so you're going to give me options, and.
Speaker 1: I choose five options. The first one is hay bathing. Now,
Speaker 1: before you say what is hay bathing, good question is
Speaker 1: where you bathe in the hay? So did you make
Speaker 1: these up or have you got it's back from the Dolomites,
Speaker 1: like the farmers that live in the Dolomites in Italy.
Speaker 1: So what they used to do is that have a
Speaker 1: really hard day at work and then they'd fall asleep
Speaker 1: in the hay like that you would feed horses and
Speaker 1: do farming stuff with. And they one hundred percent believe
Speaker 1: that the nutrients that come out of the hay help
Speaker 1: with aches and pains and just help you feel better.
Speaker 1: So it's almost like a recovery bath, a recovery get really.
Speaker 2: Bad hay fever, I'm ruling out.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, this one is. It sounds nice and easy.
Speaker 5: It feels like it's something that should be all around
Speaker 5: us all the time, but apparently you need a really intense.
Speaker 2: Shot of it.
Speaker 3: It's called an oxygen shot.
Speaker 5: Basically, you have to lay there and you get these
Speaker 5: little things put up your nose and you get fed pure,
Speaker 5: unadulterated oxygen.
Speaker 3: Could you fill your lungs?
Speaker 5: It is a therapy that is said to boost energy,
Speaker 5: relieve stress, and ease headaches.
Speaker 3: And when you say could you not just do this?
Speaker 3: Were you gonna say? Breathe like this? Ready?
Speaker 4: Let's see some shots now everyone, three two one.
Speaker 1: We're going to help you with this one, or we
Speaker 1: will volunteer if you need to. Urine therapy. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: you it's it's it's widely known that it's great for hydration.
Speaker 1: It's got vitamins urine. What you will do is consume urine.
Speaker 1: So I was thinking, don't drink it straight because it's
Speaker 1: a bit too much. But we could put it in
Speaker 1: like a smoothie or ours. That's why I said we
Speaker 1: could help you.
Speaker 3: You can donate if you want some. We all have
Speaker 3: a bit to go.
Speaker 4: Do I we intil a cup and drink the whole thing,
Speaker 4: or do you like get a shot of it like
Speaker 4: Coddy's Cordial and dilute it.
Speaker 1: I think you put it in a smoothie.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 5: Peranem sunning is basically where you lay outside and you
Speaker 5: put your backside hole up into the air and you
Speaker 5: let the sun shine down because apparently it's the only
Speaker 5: part of the body that doesn't get any vitamin D
Speaker 5: except in your case.
Speaker 2: Well, it's been a couple of weeks. In a couple
Speaker 2: of weeks, you know what I yeah, I use that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: let's let's do butt sonning.
Speaker 3: You're gonna sun your butt.
Speaker 4: Take your pick out of guzzling urine and sleeping next
Speaker 4: to a cow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I'll sun my butt.
Speaker 1: You were coming at us very aggressively for two people
Speaker 1: that are just trying to help.
Speaker 2: Sorry, I'm burning so many calories. I've got so much energy. Okay,
Speaker 2: everyone shot, so okay, peraneum sunning. I'll do it, and
Speaker 2: I'll report back once I've done it.
Speaker 1: Okay, we will give you the weekend.
Speaker 5: I would like you to spend your Saturday with your
Speaker 5: backside up, praying to the gods and photo.
