Speaker 5: going to happen or not, and and he got the
Speaker 5: seal of approval. Here he passed the dad test.
Speaker 2: You pulled him around the chicken coops, you've got the
Speaker 2: axe out, and you said, you know, what are your
Speaker 2: intentions with my daughter?

Speaker 5: you stopped trembling, he said, man, I'm going to look

Speaker 5: Believe he's that just because.
Speaker 2: You couldn't understand him through his accent, you don't actually
Speaker 2: know what he.

Speaker 5: He does talk funny, doesn't He had to get a
Speaker 5: Swiss boat and spent his life in Scotland. And how
Speaker 5: do you understand that?
Speaker 3: Well, I don't have to understand.
Speaker 2: Have you looked at him.
Speaker 4: Conversation that doesn't need to know about this language of love?
Speaker 5: I don't. I don't get that vibe from him.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm glad he wasn't putting that approval from
Speaker 1: the hockey clan.
Speaker 3: Thanks Dad.
Speaker 2: Next time the pick up. Laura had a wedding on
Speaker 2: the weekend, not her own, but she almost ended up
Speaker 2: in the hospital room.
Speaker 4: Right, yeah, Look, things didn't go exactly to plan. I'll
Speaker 4: tell you all about it next time.
Speaker 2: It is the pick up Monday, Britain. Laura and Mitchie
Speaker 2: are thanks to Chemist ware House great savings every day.
Speaker 4: Guys, I had the most, possibly the most embarrassing thing
Speaker 4: ever happened to me on the weekends.
Speaker 3: Did you poop your pants?
Speaker 4: No? I've done that before, but no, this really topped
Speaker 4: it now. It was a beautiful celebration of two of
Speaker 4: my friends love. I went to a wedding and this
Speaker 4: is a couple who I have been friends with for
Speaker 4: oh gosh, like eleven twelve years. They've been together since
Speaker 4: they were nineteen years old, and the wedding was a
Speaker 4: surprise wedding. So it was also their thirtieth birthdays and
Speaker 4: they wanted to surprise all the guests, so it was
Speaker 4: so cute. So they had the wedding at the very
Speaker 4: same place that they had had their very first date
Speaker 4: eleven years ago. It was so gosh. It was a
Speaker 4: night club, which is kind of a bit of a
Speaker 4: weird place for a wedding, but it suited them perfectly.
Speaker 3: It was a fairytale tools in the club.
Speaker 4: Now they had the actual ceremony over like near the
Speaker 4: big wine barrel, which was right next to the toilet,
Speaker 4: which is where they had their first dates. So wow,
Speaker 4: not the most romantic of settings, but also it's sentimental.
Speaker 4: It's suited them perfectly. I was one of the very
Speaker 4: few people that knew that it was actually a wedding
Speaker 4: and it wasn't just a birthday party, so I was
Speaker 4: in on the surprise because I got to design Steph
Speaker 4: and Hayma could design their rings. So I had some
Speaker 4: very special jobs on the day of the wedding because
Speaker 4: nobody else knew that it was a wedding.
Speaker 3: So you were like the undercover agent.
Speaker 1: You were one of the special for you that had
Speaker 1: the insider goss with all like.
Speaker 4: I had really special jobs. One of my special jobs
Speaker 4: was that as it was the crescendo moment where it
Speaker 4: was moving from hey, guys, happy birthday into surprise, we're
Speaker 4: getting married, I got given the job that I had
Speaker 4: to set the sparklers alight that we're going to go
Speaker 4: on this beautiful, massive wedding cake. They had two wedding
Speaker 4: cakes that were side by side. Now there were three
Speaker 4: other people with me that also knew about it being
Speaker 4: a wedding, and so we got together and I was like, look, guys,
Speaker 4: I've done this before, Like you know, I know I
Speaker 4: do kids parties. Your girl knows how to get like
Speaker 4: Sparkler's lit and do it quickly. So I was like,
Speaker 4: everyone's hold them together, and we got these packs of sparklers.
Speaker 4: I had about ten sparklers in each hand and I
Speaker 4: tightly packed the sparklers, and then there's Matt with the
Speaker 4: little lighter clickie thing, and we're waiting for the moment,
Speaker 4: and then they're like, but we've got a great surprise.
Speaker 4: We're gonna light the candle and everyone's gonna sing Happy Birthday.
Speaker 4: And I was like, now go now, So Matt's he
Speaker 4: puts the lighter on and we light the sparklers. But
Speaker 4: it turns out if you get a whole heap of
Speaker 4: sparklers and you can pack them together and you light
Speaker 4: them at once, it turns into a bomb to bomb.
Speaker 4: It's made out of gunpowder, and the whole thing catches
Speaker 4: on fire like a grenade. Who thought it was a
Speaker 4: good idea?
Speaker 1: I mean, you did to put a bunch of highly explosive,
Speaker 1: flammable things together, pack them tightly, and then light.
Speaker 3: Them in a contained environment.
Speaker 4: So what happens is not just mine, but like all
Speaker 4: four of us. Our sparkles catch on fire. Everybody is screaming, the.
Speaker 3: Fire alarms go off.
Speaker 4: My hand catches on fire, and I had to throw
Speaker 4: I had to throw Dad ten sparklers. My hand's on fire.
Speaker 4: I threw all the sparklers, but the only place to
Speaker 4: throw them I was on the wedding cake. No, we
Speaker 4: know the rest of the place was wood. So then
Speaker 4: the wedding cake was on fire. I was on fire.
Speaker 4: Everyone was screaming. People thought we'd done this on purpose.
Speaker 4: They thought that this was a They thought this was
Speaker 4: a trick.
Speaker 2: TikTok. So it was a white cake. Did the icing
Speaker 2: immediately put them out? Or do they kind of continue
Speaker 2: to sparkle?
Speaker 4: It was meringue, so it caught on fire.
Speaker 2: So what are the bride and groom doing? Do they
Speaker 2: look at you with fear like you've ruined our special moment? Well?
Speaker 4: No, the fire alarm was going off, so everyone was
Speaker 4: up on chairs trying to blow the smoke out, opening
Speaker 4: the fire escapes, letting the smoke out.
Speaker 3: This is their special moment, and you have taken it
Speaker 3: all on yourself. It was yourself on fire.
Speaker 4: I made myself the center of the attention.
Speaker 2: Obviously.
Speaker 4: I was like, guys, everyone's getting way too much attention.
Speaker 4: Let's make this about men.
Speaker 2: And I just say as we talk now, Britt and
Speaker 2: we're live in the studio, Laura's whole right hand and
Speaker 2: Bandy my two fingers.
Speaker 4: I've burnt my hand. We finally turned the fire alarms
Speaker 4: off and everything, and then we have to say, hey, surprise,
Speaker 4: it's actually a wedding, and then everyone is truly surprised.
Speaker 4: It was still so beauty. It was a beautiful wedding,
Speaker 4: and everyone was crying, but I was also crying, but
Speaker 4: not because the wedding was so beautiful, so.
Speaker 1: Much so, not only did you I mean, I'm glad,
Speaker 1: you're okay.
Speaker 3: Now you've got burns, your hand is burnt, you're bandaged up.
Speaker 3: But not only did.
Speaker 1: You like ruin that that really precious moment of the announcement,
Speaker 1: but you also completely toasted them Marine Cake.
Speaker 4: I have video evidence, and I have on the show,
Speaker 4: and this is a PSA to everybody. Sparkles are actually
Speaker 4: very dangerous. Don't light all of them at once. It's
Speaker 4: a terrible idea. I think adult birthday parties, weddings. Do
Speaker 4: not set ten sparklers a light at one time.
Speaker 2: You will catch on fire. It's the most lawa burn thing.
Speaker 3: So funny, good, We're glad, you're right all right.
Speaker 2: Next on the Pickup, a Courtney Kardashian has announced he's
Speaker 2: pregnant over the weekend in the craziest way ever. If
Speaker 2: you missed it, will tell you what she did it
Speaker 2: so extra. Next on the Pickup, It is the Pickup
Speaker 2: Monday Afternoon with Britain, Laura and Mitch. Right now, get
Speaker 2: half priced off cosmetics around the Maybellion, Revlon Rimmel, Nude
Speaker 2: by Nature Rangers all at Chemists Warehouse And you may
Speaker 2: have seen this on the weekend. Pretty big story. Courtney
Speaker 2: Ashian has announced she's pregnant with her first baby with
Speaker 2: Travis Barker.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's so cute because she's publicly been trying for
Speaker 3: so long.
Speaker 1: She's forty four, she's been doing IVF for a long time.
Speaker 1: They've made it very known that they wanted a baby together,
Speaker 1: so I think it's pretty cute that they're finally they're
Speaker 1: finally doing it.
Speaker 2: Well it's nice, yeah, of course, NICs they're pregnant, But
Speaker 2: the way that she announced it is what's making everyone
Speaker 2: go crazy. Guy with the sign, Yeah, literally, she's turned up.
Speaker 2: Travis Barker is obviously part of Blink one eight two.
Speaker 2: He was doing a show in Los Angeles, a live show,
Speaker 2: and Courtney was there with her friends in the crowd
Speaker 2: and we're not talking like she's not even really that
Speaker 2: close to the front. She's standing there Blink one eighty
Speaker 2: two performing. He's the drama so he's drumming, is a
Speaker 2: little hard out. They finish a number and they're like
Speaker 2: the crowded cheering, everyone's going crazy, and then Courtney's all films.
Speaker 2: She put it on Instagram. Pulls up this sign and
Speaker 2: it's a big sign. It's a classic concert sign that
Speaker 2: she's written on it in black text Travis, I'm pregnant,
Speaker 2: holds it up and then he sees it as he's
Speaker 2: looking out into the crowd, like it makes me it's.
Speaker 3: Just cut I'm watching now as we speak. I'm like,
Speaker 3: it's so cute.
Speaker 4: I'm such a cynic. I am you guys think this
Speaker 4: is cute? I reckon, he already knew I am such
Speaker 4: a cynic about this announcement.
Speaker 1: I was about to say the same thing he I
Speaker 1: was gonna say, it's so cute, But there's no way.
Speaker 3: This is the first time she did show it to me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's got a belly already. This to me is
Speaker 4: this is her public announcement, and this is how they
Speaker 4: wanted to tell the public that she's pregnant. I don't
Speaker 4: for a second believe that he didn't.
Speaker 2: Know that she was already. That makes it less magical
Speaker 2: if that means they would have had to have sit
Speaker 2: their dining room table and gone, hey, what how should
Speaker 2: we announce this? Pretend come to the concert. Let's get
Speaker 2: a sharpie and write on a piece of paper.
Speaker 1: The best part about this is, I don't know if
Speaker 1: you know what you miss this, but this is actually
Speaker 1: a reference to Blink one eight two's film clip. They
Speaker 1: had a film clip it's very famous, and in it
Speaker 1: there's a girl holding up a sign that says I'm pregnant,
Speaker 1: So she's.
Speaker 3: Recreated that as well. So it's not like multiple meanings
Speaker 3: and special moments.
Speaker 4: But that's also the reason why I think it is
Speaker 4: so something that they're both in on, because like, it's
Speaker 4: not necessarily an announcement to him, but all the die
Speaker 4: hard Blink one eight two fans would have known this
Speaker 4: and it would have been such like a pinnacle moment
Speaker 4: for them. And also like, how would he have seen it?
Speaker 4: Just after that song? He's like, there's my Hey, what's
Speaker 4: that sign that she's holding out?
Speaker 2: My wife?
Speaker 4: Who's that?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 1: The spotlight went straight onto the sign, the cameras went
Speaker 1: onto the sign.
Speaker 3: It's it's very premeditated but let's not be cynics. It's
Speaker 3: a beautiful moment. We're happy for them.
Speaker 2: How did you announce your baby? Did you go straight?
Speaker 2: But Laura's had two children?
Speaker 4: You opened up the line and BRIT's never ever ever
Speaker 4: announced a pregnancy, and you're like, so, Britta, how did
Speaker 4: yours go? How did you tell everybody?
Speaker 3: I'm glad you know so much about my life.
Speaker 2: Volunteered, britt when I might talk about it one day
Speaker 2: when it.
Speaker 4: Happened, My my announcement was really exciting. I came out
Speaker 4: of the bathroom crying, so yeah, that was a real surprise.
Speaker 4: I vomited up my porridge and then I said, oh,
Speaker 4: that that's weird. I think I should do a pregnancy test.
Speaker 4: And I did one, and then I came out and cried.
Speaker 4: So yeah, it was a big shock to everybody.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, what about the second one? Was there any
Speaker 2: excitement on the second one?
Speaker 4: The second one? The second one, I kept it to
Speaker 4: myself a little bit longer. I actually told Brittany before
Speaker 4: I told Matt.
Speaker 3: Touchy subject, wasn't it.
Speaker 4: Britain knew I was pregnant before Matt did. And then
Speaker 4: I gave him a card that said you did it
Speaker 4: again power and it was very cute. I actually had
Speaker 4: that one filmed. It turned out very very cute because Matt.
Speaker 4: Matt knew I was pregnant before I even knew it,
Speaker 4: because there was some telltale signs. I started vomiting up
Speaker 4: porridge again and he was like, it's happening.
Speaker 3: So finally she goes, Brittany, I've got I tell you
Speaker 3: I'm pregnant. I was like, oh my god. She's like,
Speaker 3: we're not telling Matt yet.
Speaker 1: I like it. We're not. We're not like it's Laura's
Speaker 1: and my baby and we're not letting madd in on
Speaker 1: it yet.
Speaker 2: You're a throuple, Liz. I'm thirteen one. I six ' five. Liz,
Speaker 2: did you announce your pregnancy in a cool way?
Speaker 6: I think it was cool.
Speaker 7: So I did a personalized scratchy for my partner on
Speaker 7: his birthday. So I did. I had three scratches in
Speaker 7: three separates envelopes, and he did one at a time
Speaker 7: and then came to the last one and it said
Speaker 7: happy birthday Dad, surprise for having a baby.
Speaker 4: Oh that so gets better winning five hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 4: although swinning pig. But now, yeah, totally kids are expensive.
Speaker 2: That's so good? Crazy? Huh people do anything? What happened
