Speaker 1: Come on, I've got something food stuck in my braces.
Speaker 2: You got food stuck in your braces?
Speaker 1: Well it's not braces, but you know how we're on
Speaker 1: the missile line.
Speaker 2: The thing at the back.
Speaker 1: When you're having visil line you get the wire across
Speaker 1: the back of your teeth and I've got that now
Speaker 1: and it's so gross. Sorry anyone who knows, but food
Speaker 1: producer Grace is nodding. You get like, it's not like
Speaker 1: it gets. It's not like I have a piece of
Speaker 1: bccoli hanging out in my mouth, but like little bits
Speaker 1: getting there. It's really no.
Speaker 2: I mean two things. One, Britt, you knew when we
Speaker 2: were going on air, So that's one a week. But
Speaker 2: I think that that's the least if your worries that
Speaker 2: the bigger of your concerns is that you came to
Speaker 2: work today with your food in a literal dog bag,
Speaker 2: a dog bag that you would use to pick up poo.
Speaker 1: Yeah, dog poop bag.
Speaker 2: I don't that's not I don't think that they're meant
Speaker 2: to be versatile plastic bags. I think that they're purpose built.
Speaker 1: Well, it wasn't a used one. I ran out of older. Yes,
Speaker 1: I had some tie in.
Speaker 2: A doggy bag.
Speaker 3: It's got little paw prints on it. It's what you
Speaker 3: get the hot dollar two dollar store that picked up
Speaker 3: dog poops for two dollars.
Speaker 1: I didn't have anything to put my tie in. I
Speaker 1: don't it's clean, So it's just a plastic bag.
Speaker 2: Not true, very true. It is a plastic bag. But
Speaker 2: there's a real visual of you just walking into the
Speaker 2: office carrying a pooh bag full of taie food.
Speaker 4: You had a.
Speaker 3: Repretation the host of the show like you're going to
Speaker 3: bring us down with you. You need to really think
Speaker 3: about that.
Speaker 1: Maybe you guys just need to get on a more
Speaker 1: humble level. Put your food in dog pooper do that?
Speaker 2: No, I'm good, I'm good. All right, we're coming up
Speaker 2: in today's show. We have a big one for you.
Speaker 2: But on Thursdays we always do ask on cart where
Speaker 2: we answer your biggest questions. And now today we have
Speaker 2: somebody who has a real predicament around a new relationship
Speaker 2: and how they're going to go about introducing them to
Speaker 2: their parents.
Speaker 3: All right, we'll get to that on the show today.
Speaker 3: Plastic don't forget Taylor Swift is happening in Singapore. What
Speaker 3: we have for you is a chance at a full
Speaker 3: row of tickets to Eras in Singapore. We'll even pay
Speaker 3: for your airfares and your accommodation and a thousand bucks
Speaker 3: spending money.
Speaker 2: So the only thing better than seeing Taylor Swift in
Speaker 2: Australia is seeing her in Singapore.
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'd like to have dinner with her, but yes, it's
Speaker 1: the next best thing.
Speaker 3: No, you wouldn't because you'd rock up with a Pooh
Speaker 3: bag and go, hey, Tatae, you want some of my
Speaker 3: nazy goring from last nights.
Speaker 5: In a bag?
Speaker 1: Dan. You guys are saying this like I should be offended,
Speaker 1: but I'm not.
Speaker 3: No shame, I'm Brittany Huntly. Welcome to the pickup. Everyone
Speaker 3: Ask uncata.
Speaker 2: So ask uncut is something we do every single Thursday
Speaker 2: where we answer your questions, your biggest life dilemmas. And
Speaker 2: we have Sophie on the phone today. She has a
Speaker 2: problem with introducing her new partner to her mum.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's a tricky We've all been through that, haven't we.
Speaker 3: That's tricky.
Speaker 1: So if what's talk us through it?
Speaker 3: What's the problem myself?
Speaker 4: So normally I feel like it would be fine, but
Speaker 4: my mom is a little bit unhinged or a lot unhinged,
Speaker 4: And it's a lot to deal with, even a her child,
Speaker 4: but alone introducing someone new. And I'm just I'm kind
Speaker 4: of embarrassed.
Speaker 2: Okay, So are you more worried about how your partner,
Speaker 2: your new boyfriend's going to react to this, or are
Speaker 2: you worried about the way your mum's going to behave
Speaker 2: and like whether she's going to say something that's going
Speaker 2: to embarrass you. What's your biggest concern?
Speaker 4: Honestly both of them, but like probably more so what
Speaker 4: she's going to say, like unpredictable lady.
Speaker 1: I think you look unless you know you've locked him
Speaker 1: down and he ain't going nowhere, you don't have to
Speaker 1: introduce him yet, Like maybe just work your way into him.
Speaker 1: Make sure you guys are really sturdy and stable so
Speaker 1: that your mom can't rock the boat enough. But at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, I mean, all our parents
Speaker 1: are a little bit crazy.
Speaker 2: We don't know they could live she could live at home, Like,
Speaker 2: there's definitely more factors to this. How long have you
Speaker 2: guys been dating for We've been.
Speaker 4: Dating about three months already.
Speaker 3: Wait, would you live at home?
Speaker 4: I don't live at home thankfully.
Speaker 3: Okay, how close you with your mum?
Speaker 4: Not super close? But if I was to not introduce
Speaker 4: her as it's getting to the three months mark, she's
Speaker 4: she will ye not be happy about it. It'll make
Speaker 4: matters worse.
Speaker 2: I think push this out for a bit longer three months.
Speaker 2: Three months is early days still for relationship. If you
Speaker 2: think your mom's going to be absolutely batshit insane, I
Speaker 2: think you just push it out. Maybe wait till like
Speaker 2: the six month mark, and then that's when you bring
Speaker 2: him home. But I think maybe let your mom think
Speaker 2: it's a bit more casual than what it's.
Speaker 1: Telly you broke up, and then when you're ready to
Speaker 1: introduce them saying oh we got back to get.
Speaker 5: A great idea.
Speaker 3: I think on the flip side, don't you want to
Speaker 3: be with someone who doesn't care what your parents are?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 3: Like, I don't want my partners to be if the
Speaker 3: person I was dating was embarrassed with my parents, I'd
Speaker 3: done them. Mom spot.
Speaker 4: I mean there is that, but to be fair, I'm
Speaker 4: embarrassed by her, so don't for me, I'd.
Speaker 2: Understand What does she do?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: I feel like I need context, like like what level
Speaker 2: of crazy we talk?
Speaker 4: Oh, she just lives in another world.
Speaker 1: I feel like, I know, Like you know, it's like
Speaker 1: when someone's there's nothing you can't pinpoint it, you can't
Speaker 1: say there's one thing you're like, it's hard to explain.
Speaker 1: It's a whole, it's a whole.
Speaker 2: But when you say like that, though, brit I do
Speaker 2: agree with you, Mitch. You want to be with someone
Speaker 2: who's not going to judge you from the way that
Speaker 2: your parents are. I mean, like you, you're not your parents.
Speaker 2: You can't control the things that they do and say,
Speaker 2: and I mean you kind of love them regardless because
Speaker 2: of all the other great things that they've done for
Speaker 2: you and who you are in life.
Speaker 1: Like you, guys are taking this so seriously, just don't
Speaker 1: introduce him for another three months.
Speaker 2: I think it's okay, and change my mind.
Speaker 1: No, guy, you're making it sound like I'm embarrassed by
Speaker 1: my parents. I mean, well, let's be honest, I love
Speaker 1: my parents. But I just don't think I think that
Speaker 1: you can just say to your mom honestly, like, hey mom,
Speaker 1: we're not that serious yet. So the second we are,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be the first to know, and I'll introduce
Speaker 1: you then. But until we've worked it out between ourselves,
Speaker 1: like we're just going to cruise in private.
Speaker 2: But once you eventually do introduce him, and if he
Speaker 2: does react badly to your mum or don't be anyway,
Speaker 2: if that is supposed to be an indication of, like,
Speaker 2: you know, how he relates to you, I think he's
Speaker 2: not worth it.
Speaker 3: No I or call us back and we'll dump him
Speaker 3: life on the air. That'd be great. I love to
Speaker 3: do that.
Speaker 1: Three month's time, we're like, we got Sophie back here
Speaker 1: with anyone like Mitch and Laura. Have you been anyone
Speaker 1: that like you were embarrassed or they were embarrassed to
Speaker 1: me at yours or like, has this happened to you.
Speaker 2: I've definitely dated men who have had some fruity parents,
Speaker 2: like some very interesting characters of parents, But never ever
Speaker 2: ever have I judged them because parents no just just
Speaker 2: just I don't want to go into fruity parents, pruty
Speaker 2: just just a bit different in terms of like how
Speaker 2: they saw the world. But never ever ever did I
Speaker 2: judge the guy I was dating off the way their
Speaker 2: parents were.
Speaker 3: My ex has made some comments about my parents towards
Speaker 3: you end that I like gutted me so that's probably
Speaker 3: why I'm amazing. My parents are amazing, and that's the point.
Speaker 3: I just I think so for you need to maybe
Speaker 3: wait a little longer. But if they can't love your parents,
Speaker 3: then I think it's a red flat and they don't
Speaker 3: deserve to love you.
Speaker 2: That's right, so.
Speaker 4: Wholesome. Thanks guys.
Speaker 3: If your mummy is insane, then never introduced.
Speaker 2: You know, like this really really conflicting information about time,
Speaker 2: And if you want any sort of information like that,
Speaker 2: really conflicting, confusing advice, you can always join us. And
Speaker 2: I think you can send in your question at the
Speaker 2: pickup dot com.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because he definitely can. Yeah, because he definitely can.
Speaker 1: Lay.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that's it all. Slide into the dms
Speaker 2: on Instagram. There's a few ways either.

Speaker 1: the only Delta Godriam. She's got a brand new song out.
Speaker 1: She's been filming Netflix show. She's over in London at
Speaker 1: the moment. She's absolutely killing it and I've got some
Speaker 1: despised questions.

Speaker 3: kind voice Delta, doesn't she She'll be on the show
Speaker 3: live with us next on the pickup Plasters Taylor Swift
Speaker 3: tickets in minutes. It's not often we get an Australian
Speaker 3: icon on the show here every day.
Speaker 2: What are you talking about?
Speaker 3: Hilarious?
Speaker 2: Hilarious because you're going to take your own joke. I
Speaker 2: could see exactly what you were doing there.
Speaker 3: Did you notice that I tried to make it about
Speaker 3: myself too, like except I sit here too? Who wanted
Speaker 3: to do the icon? This is an icon bigger than

Speaker 2: have a single at the moment? When is the album coming?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 6: No, always working on new music. But this song kind
Speaker 6: of represented what was happening in my life. We were
Speaker 6: sort of like an always on It was go go
Speaker 6: go last ye week jumped from tour to tour. I
Speaker 6: sort of wrote the song with that say that was
Speaker 6: like when you think you can't go any further, you
Speaker 6: just got to keep breaking your own boundaries, keep going forward.
Speaker 6: And this song kind of has that relentless energy about it.
Speaker 2: With this song as well, I mean you play alongside
Speaker 2: your partner, your few on say Matthew, how do I know?
Speaker 2: But also like how do you manage it? Like how
Speaker 2: do you manage the working together, the living together, the
Speaker 2: writing music together. It's a lot of together.
Speaker 6: It's all very easy, you know, I think when it's
Speaker 6: just sort of where you know, very just so proud
Speaker 6: of the work we do.
Speaker 2: And it's natural.
Speaker 6: You know, we both came from being creatives with music
Speaker 6: and it's that passion and so I think it all
Speaker 6: just intertwines with our world and and we create where
Speaker 6: we have love with us that we travel. So it's
Speaker 6: just a great group of people that we love doing
Speaker 6: and we love and whether it's you know, on tour
Speaker 6: or at the moment where in the UK for a
Speaker 6: month or we were in the state side for a month,
Speaker 6: and and it's just that's what that's what we want
Speaker 6: to life right just still with great people. You get
Speaker 6: to hang out all the time and and talk and
Speaker 6: have fun.
Speaker 3: It's I wish you could see the truth behind the scenes.
Speaker 3: We all find I don't know.
Speaker 2: I love my husband. I think it's remarkable because I
Speaker 2: love my husband to death. I don't think I could
Speaker 2: work with him every day. We probably would kill each other.
Speaker 1: My boyfriend I see once every four months. I'm going
Speaker 1: to kill you.
Speaker 3: The guy I'm Dandy's in university, so there's all no issues.
Speaker 3: Is studying very heavily, Shelter.

Speaker 1: the Air, not that long ago. I loved it.
Speaker 2: I watched it.
Speaker 1: I also auditioned for it. You got the role, but
Speaker 1: let's not talk about that, and I was like, damn it,
Speaker 1: I lost out, but I lost out to you.
Speaker 6: So oh well, there's there's always a role in any

Speaker 6: I deeply enjoy and and that was really fun getting
Speaker 6: to do the rom comment.

Speaker 6: It was fantastic.
Speaker 3: I loved it. I thought it was really good, you know,
Speaker 3: and we still love you, like from the Neighbours days.
Speaker 3: What I'm loving now is I was on TikTok the
Speaker 3: other day and this video came up. If you Delta,
Speaker 3: you in the BBC studios in London, and they obviously
Speaker 3: love neighbors over there, right, Delta was on the radio.
Speaker 3: I actually have the moment if you missed it, this
Speaker 3: is it live on on UK Radio with you. Delta
Speaker 3: made you sing the theme so so cute.
Speaker 1: And so good.
Speaker 2: He's so nice as perfect.
Speaker 1: Should be there for one.
Speaker 3: And then there was a petition, you know, make it
Speaker 3: the national anthem. Put this on the radio every day.
Speaker 1: The petition was Delta for President, Delta, Delta for Prime Minister.
Speaker 6: The next single of the new Your album, I really
Speaker 6: feel that it's, you know what, let's really full circle
Speaker 6: moment this.
Speaker 3: Well, the people love it. People love it.
Speaker 2: It's a true It's an Australian nostalgia piece.
Speaker 3: That's what that one is, honestly is well listen, Delta,
Speaker 3: we love you. Great to catch up with you. I
Speaker 3: hope Aul is good with you. And we're so excited.
Speaker 3: Hearts on the runners out now if you guys go
Speaker 3: stream it and then fingers crossed for an album. But
Speaker 3: thank you for coming back to the pickup.
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 1: I love you, Delta.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, everyone back after this. On the pickup
Speaker 3: stand by a.
Speaker 1: Little earlier in the week, I took you guys on
Speaker 1: a bit of a history lesson and which I found
Speaker 1: very interesting to you hated it, but it was about
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 2: It's thoroughly interesting.
Speaker 1: Oh it was about love. February twenty nine. The leap
Speaker 1: year is the fact that it's the only you know what.
Speaker 1: Just listen to what I said. Earlier in twelve eighty eight,
Speaker 1: Queen Margaret brought in a law that said, on the
Speaker 1: twenty ninth of February, women are allowed to propose to
Speaker 1: men because back in the day men will only ever
Speaker 1: allowed to propose. Now, if the woman proposed and the
Speaker 1: man said no, he had to give her like it
Speaker 1: was almost like a fine for say no, and he
Speaker 1: had to buy her like a new dress or give
Speaker 1: her a kiss, or like some sort of compensation.
Speaker 3: And can I just say, Laura text me after a while?
Speaker 2: True, I think it is so interesting.
Speaker 3: It was ridiculous. It was an interesting fact. But your
Speaker 3: storytelling like, we're not children at a pandemic.
Speaker 2: No, but the queen was apparently she was only five
Speaker 2: at the time.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's the craziest part. She's only five years old,
Speaker 1: which makes sense when she's like, oh, if he says no,
Speaker 1: get a kiss or address anyway, we want to make it.
Speaker 1: But we wanted to know if anyone out there had proposed,
Speaker 1: like women had proposed on a leap here, or have
Speaker 1: ever proposed in general, right, because you don't hear about
Speaker 1: it a lot, but we do have someone on the phone.
Speaker 1: We had Laura call up with a very lovely love story.
Speaker 3: Hi Laura, Hi lord, did this happen to you? Did
Speaker 3: you propose?
Speaker 5: I did propose. I proposed a couple of years ago
Speaker 5: to my fiancee. I'm about to marry him two weeks.
Speaker 1: What was the reason behind you proposing? And I say
Speaker 1: that because most of the time it's the band, But
Speaker 1: like it's not like you've been together fifteen years and
Speaker 1: you're like a house.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm waiting waiting. No, I'd actually been engaged a
Speaker 5: couple of times before, and to know Vale like it
Speaker 5: didn't work out, and I just sort of knew and
Speaker 5: decided that I was take that into my own hands.
Speaker 2: Okay, now I need to know when you were engaged before,
Speaker 2: did you also ask them or was this the first
Speaker 2: time that you asked someone like? Was this the first
Speaker 2: one that you were like, Okay, I'm doing this myself.
Speaker 5: One hundred percent?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's very nice.
Speaker 6: Yeah he was.
Speaker 5: And he's just the best guy in the world. So
Speaker 5: kind of a no brainer.
Speaker 1: I ask how you did it?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't really know how to do it, to
Speaker 5: be honest, Sorry, my baby. Taking a little bit of
Speaker 5: a moment, I laid down a rug and put a
Speaker 5: little platter together, got in his favorite bottle of scotch,
Speaker 5: some champagne, went to Michael Hill and bought a bought
Speaker 5: an engagement band. I didn't really know what to do,
Speaker 5: and I sort of just said it.
Speaker 3: He didn't, did Laura?
Speaker 5: I tried to just kind of laughing the whole time.
Speaker 3: Wait, what was his reaction, Laura? Is he like a
Speaker 3: traditional blokey bloke? Did he go I want to do it?
Speaker 5: He's such a bloke. He's such a bloke. But he
Speaker 5: didn't believe me at first, and then he started crying
Speaker 5: and I was trying, You're like this.
Speaker 1: This is the win that we wanted. You want tears.
Speaker 1: I proposal right and.
Speaker 5: He was not p at the wedding. Then don't don't
Speaker 5: don't bother.
Speaker 3: I mean, this is all very good information about heterosexual couples,
Speaker 3: but gay people have to do that. We don't have
Speaker 3: a choice.
Speaker 2: How do you pick though, Like, how when you're in
Speaker 2: a gay relationship do you decide who's going to do
Speaker 2: the proposal?
Speaker 3: Everyone always asked me, like, how do you do it?
Speaker 3: My dream is for just myself and my future partner
Speaker 3: to just do it at the same day. But Grace,
Speaker 3: our executive producer, is in a same sex relationship. Who
Speaker 3: proposed in your situation?
Speaker 1: I made it very clear to my partner Diana from
Speaker 1: the start that I don't propose. I get proposed to.
Speaker 1: Dina proposed to me, but then I proposed back a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks later, so.
Speaker 2: I wanted to make it nice and even yeah, well
Speaker 2: I got her a ring, so I wanted to make.
Speaker 1: Sure she got the moment to I am. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm hopefully going to marry my partner Ben, who lives overseas,
Speaker 1: but there is no chance I'm proposing.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, coming up next, BRIT's proposing to
Speaker 2: a partner pick up.
Speaker 3: All right, let's go see tomorrow, see guys,
