Speaker 1: Laura, come on in.
Speaker 2: Illo everyone.
Speaker 3: Hi girls, Hello, everybody.
Speaker 1: Welcome to Monday. Actually, don't welcome to Monday. It's been
Speaker 1: Monday all day so far, hasn't it. Wow?
Speaker 4: Yes, I mean it's I guess they're still welcoming people
Speaker 4: to Monday afternoon.
Speaker 3: Yet welcome to my wow, Monday afternoon. All right, No,
Speaker 3: you need to talk about it, Laura. What's going on?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 4: I went away on the weekend, so you're struggling to
Speaker 4: get back into it.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 1: I went away for a girl's weekend. I went to Noosa.
Speaker 1: It was my very very first time ever in NUSA,
Speaker 1: which I feel like I'm very late to the party.
Speaker 1: It is amazing. I always thought NUSA was for like
Speaker 1: middle aged women wearing kaftans, and then as I was there,
Speaker 1: I realized I am middle aged woman wearing a caft
Speaker 1: head and I was in my element.
Speaker 4: You are the target audience, Laura. I was like, I've
Speaker 4: reached my news era and I loved it.
Speaker 2: What did you did? You went with girlfriends? Did you
Speaker 2: have drinks and son and no kids?
Speaker 3: No kids?
Speaker 1: It was well, I mean, I love my children, but
Speaker 1: it was amazing. It was amazing you had a much
Speaker 1: more exciting. I mean, I know mine was exciting. That
Speaker 1: you found your wedding venue on the weekend.
Speaker 3: Well, I wasn't going to say that, Laura, but thank you.
Speaker 4: Yes, I did duck to Bali to look at a
Speaker 4: wedding venue. A couple did some food tastings, like some
Speaker 4: wedding planning without my fiancee, Ben. I'm planning the whole
Speaker 4: thing alone, and I am happy to say that I have.
Speaker 3: Almost secured the venue.
Speaker 4: And I say almost because I've said yes, but I
Speaker 4: haven't paid for yet.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it was a really successful weekend. So
Speaker 1: much has happened in a couple of hours.
Speaker 2: And I had a severe allergic reaction house sitting for
Speaker 2: brit looking after Delilah the dog, which don't worry you
Speaker 2: were hearing about today. I've just finished my house sitting
Speaker 2: for Brittany Hockey and I've got a full report.
Speaker 3: Is that why you're so puffy?
Speaker 2: No, I think that's just because I had.
Speaker 3: Are the reactions gone down?
Speaker 2: The reaction's gone, that's just his fate.
Speaker 3: No, you're still a puffy under your eyes.
Speaker 2: I think I was tired, So don't keep you up.
Speaker 3: Let's let's just like stop doing.
Speaker 2: Really a good weekend. We're ready to go. Next, we're
Speaker 2: discussing a major new law that comes into effect today.
Speaker 2: From today, your boss will now face legal charges if
Speaker 2: they text you after work hours. This is huge, trying
Speaker 2: to screw us.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're in trouble.
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent. But if you've got one of
Speaker 2: those annoying bosses that takes you on weekends and after work,
Speaker 2: you're gonna want to hear this news. We'll get to
Speaker 2: it next. Here at the pickup for your Monday afternoon.
Speaker 2: Welcome to the show. All right, it is Monday Britain, Laura,
Speaker 2: which means we need to start the show as we
Speaker 2: do every week we did pick up. I'm gonna give
Speaker 2: the girls a topic and news topic that the world
Speaker 2: is discussing. You then decide whether we pick it up
Speaker 2: we keep talking about it into the week, or we
Speaker 2: put it down we never discuss it again.
Speaker 3: I have some big feelings about this one.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I was teasing in the in the
Speaker 2: break about this new law that has come into effect today. Ladies.
Speaker 2: Pick up. Put down the right to connect laws officially
Speaker 2: nationwide in practice.
Speaker 3: Put it down, Yeah, put it. I feel awkward. Put
Speaker 3: it down, we feel awkward. Okay, we text our employees
Speaker 3: outside of way.
Speaker 2: Let me just set up what this is quickly. The
Speaker 2: right to disconnect starts today, giving Australians legal cover to
Speaker 2: stop responding to emails, texts, and calls from their bosses
Speaker 2: after hours and on week Oh.
Speaker 1: Okay, no, I take that back, then I pick it up.
Speaker 1: My issue is I don't think that bosses should have
Speaker 1: to not text or not sorry, texting is bad, not
Speaker 1: email employees or whatever after hours because I do a
Speaker 1: lot of my work outside of working hours, Like I'll
Speaker 1: be emailing at eleven o'clock at night. I don't expect
Speaker 1: my employees to write back at that time, but that's
Speaker 1: when I get work done. So I think that that's
Speaker 1: kind of where I may be misinterpreted the law.
Speaker 3: I was like, can I not emailed them at eleven
Speaker 3: o'clock anymore? We ask questions all the time to our
Speaker 3: employees outside of it.
Speaker 4: We do, but that's because we're a really like mixed
Speaker 4: bunch where we're not just employees and employers, we're all friends.
Speaker 4: So it's where it gets blurred, Like you feel like
Speaker 4: you're texting a friend, but it's also an employee I
Speaker 4: also think.
Speaker 2: We our jobs. We like talk for a living, Like
Speaker 2: I think we're in a different kettle of fish to
Speaker 2: someone working at Subway, he gets their boss texting them
Speaker 2: at seven pm, going did you cook the cookies? Yeah?
Speaker 3: And you work night Smitch as well, so there is
Speaker 3: no hour for you.
Speaker 1: I understand this because I think a lot of people
Speaker 1: find it really hard to set boundaries between what is
Speaker 1: work what is their own time. People only get paid
Speaker 1: a certain amount of salary for a certain amount of hours,
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of bosses have an expectation
Speaker 1: that goes way beyond that. So now there's a law
Speaker 1: in place to protect people.
Speaker 2: Really, I think it's great. And can I just say,
Speaker 2: like working outside of workouts aside, getting a text from
Speaker 2: your boss when you're not expecting it ruin. It ruins
Speaker 2: the whole vibe, don't you.
Speaker 3: Think, Well I am the boss, and well, yeah, I
Speaker 3: would like we have bosses.
Speaker 1: Even when the radio when the radio lords text every
Speaker 1: so often, I'm like, am I in trouble?
Speaker 3: I don't know. They always do it during work hours.
Speaker 2: So the radio lords do not know emojis, they're four punctuisy.
Speaker 3: It's a great law. What's next? Right?
Speaker 4: Pick up?
Speaker 2: Put down? Justin Bieber giving his baby a relatively normal
Speaker 2: mame of the weekend?
Speaker 3: Pick it up? Isn't this in for his dad?
Speaker 4: Isn't doesn't he name.
Speaker 2: It after his dad?
Speaker 3: I knew he had a baby, but I didn't know
Speaker 3: the name.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, Haley Bieber and Justin Bieber had the baby
Speaker 2: on the weekend. Jack blues Bieber.
Speaker 1: Sorry, the first name was normal, Jack blues Bieber. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Jack blues Biber Yeah, blue okay, like the blues music.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Well it comes from Justin's father, whose middle
Speaker 2: name is Jack. It's very normal, everyone's everyone's just kind
Speaker 2: of shocked that it's Jack, that it's you know, I.
Speaker 1: Mean, I'm shocked that they're still together and had a baby.
Speaker 1: I'm not shocked about the name. I'm more shocked that
Speaker 1: it actually seems like it's working out for them.
Speaker 2: The theory is it's going to be blues Biber. That's
Speaker 2: what they're gonna call the baby, Blue Bebar, blues Beiber
Speaker 2: or musician.
Speaker 1: So they named it a normal name, but then they're
Speaker 1: going to refuse to call it the normal name, and
Speaker 1: they're going to call it the weird name.
Speaker 2: Look it's a baby. We can get it on for
Speaker 2: common if you want to reach out to the baby.
Speaker 3: Blues to me, and this might be mean to anyone
Speaker 3: who has a child name Blues.
Speaker 1: It sounds like a dog's name. I'd call my dog blue.
Speaker 1: What do you think of bluey, Bluey and blues Clues. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've seen blues, but blue is Beyonce. Oh sorry, Beyonce
Speaker 1: blue Ivy.
Speaker 2: True.
Speaker 3: I know so much about kids' names for famous.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't say so much. You know two babies names. I
Speaker 2: don't know about that. I'm speaking of dogs, ye, speaking
Speaker 2: a blue. Speaking of dogs. I house sat for you,
Speaker 2: Brittany Hockley over the weekend. You did. Thank you so
Speaker 2: much after the house and let's just say that I
Speaker 2: have something to reveal to the world, do you, Laura.
Speaker 2: I've I've collated some evidence. As we know, Britney's dog, Delilah.
Speaker 2: We've discussed on this show many times. She's a house
Speaker 2: Sitting was easy, walk in the park. What wasn't easy
Speaker 2: was looking after your dog, Delilah. It almost ended me
Speaker 2: up on the emergency room and it also ended me
Speaker 2: up on the desk of the project. Talking nationally to
Speaker 2: the country, it was a very big weekend, and I've
Speaker 2: got a report on how sitting your dog Delilah.
Speaker 3: Oh God, I can't wait. I know did down. She's
Speaker 3: an angel. You're the only one who seems to know that.
Speaker 3: I'm the only one that matters.
Speaker 2: It's after these on the pickup. Now. You may have
Speaker 2: heard on the show last week Brittany Hackley went away
Speaker 2: for the weekend. I house sat her house. Laura, I've
Speaker 2: done this before.
Speaker 3: You've done nothing but complain about it since.
Speaker 2: Can you give me a break? I actually haven't. I
Speaker 2: was a good house sitter.
Speaker 1: You also didn't tell me that you're getting paid for it,
Speaker 1: so I thought you were doing another goodness of your
Speaker 1: own law, but paid you to house it.
Speaker 2: Pek behind the curtain, why don't you plan a radio show?
Speaker 2: We go girls, this is how it's gonna go. They go,
Speaker 2: no worries, That's how it's gonna go. And then now
Speaker 2: it's all of a sudden, some sort of prank patrol thing.
Speaker 4: I only want to add one thing before I hear
Speaker 4: what you have to say.
Speaker 2: I did you a favor. Can I say you paid
Speaker 2: me fifty percent of the rate you normally pay your
Speaker 2: house hitter and also your dog's hitter, because I that's
Speaker 2: how I sat for Australia's most petulant.
Speaker 3: Dog, Australia's most divine.
Speaker 1: She's so pretty, but she has pretty privilege.
Speaker 3: She doesn't know she's got pretty Sorry, which continues.
Speaker 2: Let me just give you a review on house sitting
Speaker 2: and dog sitting for Brittany Hockley and Britz Dogs Bricks
Speaker 2: Dog Dollar. It's true what we've said. We've had experts
Speaker 2: on this show trying to cure a Delilah of whatever
Speaker 2: ailment she's got. Britz Bridge Dog Dollar, what.
Speaker 3: Have a pretty privilege?
Speaker 2: Bridge Dog. Delilah has been through three dog walkers that
Speaker 2: have all resigned. It's like the Boeing crisis. They've all
Speaker 2: mysteriously disappeared, all the whistleblowers.
Speaker 3: No, you are severely exaggerating. Two dog walkers. There was
Speaker 3: two of them, not three.
Speaker 4: They have been with her for years and unfortunately they
Speaker 4: had to go a different way.
Speaker 1: They both resigned at the same time for the same reason.
Speaker 3: She had one off week. Hormones continue. Her hormones continue.
Speaker 2: Please, Walking Delilah through the dog park is a literal hell.
Speaker 2: That dog is There's something gone on. That dog is smart.
Speaker 2: I think that dog is the Zodiac killer. It is
Speaker 2: got a look in its eyes. It knows more things
Speaker 2: than I know. It is. It would get a higher
Speaker 2: ATAR than I would. If it sat the nap land,
Speaker 2: it'd be above state average.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 1: My favorite thing about Delilah is that if you are
Speaker 1: taking for her for a walk, you have to take
Speaker 1: her for a walk with two separate balls so that
Speaker 1: you can always have her on rotation.
Speaker 2: Because she trains.
Speaker 1: You have to keep it going otherwise she gets fixated
Speaker 1: on other people's balls.
Speaker 2: You want to know, Yeah, what's like? Walk and Delilah?
Speaker 2: She's not like a kervooda or you clip on the
Speaker 2: lead and you walk in. You have to get a
Speaker 2: hip harness like I'm in, So let I clip a
Speaker 2: harness around my bet you're going to go wakeboarding?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Click?
Speaker 3: You know it's like trying to walk a ferret on acid?
Speaker 4: Yeah, what it is.
Speaker 2: Then there's a strap that goes underneath your leggs and
Speaker 2: clips up in the middle like a seat belt on
Speaker 2: like a roller coaster. Then you've got a bum bag,
Speaker 2: which by the way, is a designer at the bag
Speaker 2: that you sling over your shoulder, which has two balls
Speaker 2: in it treats that are respective to Delilah's dietary requirements.
Speaker 2: And then you have a ball thrower that is mechanical
Speaker 2: that folds down into two parts so you can keep
Speaker 2: it in your pocket. Then you've got to put Delilah's
Speaker 2: waterproof harness on.
Speaker 3: Mitich, I'm getting a feeling that you didn't enjoy it.
Speaker 4: Well, where sorry, where's the problem coming?
Speaker 2: This is the problem. This is live audio of me
Speaker 2: at the dog park with Delilah. If you've ever wanted
Speaker 2: to know what it feels like to walk BRIT's famous dog, Delilah,
Speaker 2: this is close your eyes. This is a little ASMR roleplay. Delilah. Shit, Delilah, Delilah.
Speaker 2: She's running out of the park. Sorry, I'm so sorry, Delilah.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm sorry that people everywhere very dramatic
Speaker 2: and she's running.
Speaker 1: Out of the park.
Speaker 2: I have actually lost Britt's dog. I've genuinely lost Brittany
Speaker 2: hockey dog. There she's got her and now she's run
Speaker 2: through mud. She's run through she has genuinely run. She
Speaker 2: loves mud. She has led through a pile of mud.
Speaker 2: Get here now coming out, Dalilah, out of breath. This
Speaker 2: is a problem. I've lost her again, Delilah, I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't see a problem. It sounds like she had
Speaker 3: a great time at the park.
Speaker 2: She had a great time with that.
Speaker 3: That sounds like she was I could hear that in
Speaker 3: her panting that she thought that was panting.
Speaker 2: That was the dog huish.
Speaker 4: The thing with Delilah is in her defense. She is
Speaker 4: not and we joke about it a lot here. She's
Speaker 4: not a bad dog at all. But she's selective with
Speaker 4: her listening. So she knows everything that you want her
Speaker 4: to do. She knows exactly what you're saying. But if
Speaker 4: she doesn't feel like it, she won't do it. She's disobedient,
Speaker 4: that's the word.
Speaker 3: She knows how to do it. She's so smart she
Speaker 3: just chooses not to No, it's selective here. She sounds
Speaker 3: like a mother.
Speaker 2: I'll never do it for you again. Also, I've sent
Speaker 2: you my bs pnut count details. Please transfer the well.
Speaker 4: I'm not going to transfer it now. You just shamed
Speaker 4: my dog on national radio.
Speaker 2: You think I'm going to pay you for that, I'll
Speaker 2: see you in court. Also, I did steal some Pratasney,
Speaker 2: so I think we're.
Speaker 4: I know Prata Sonny's and all my food out of
Speaker 4: the fridge and a bottle of gin. And you slept
Speaker 4: in my bad bottle of gin.
Speaker 2: She said I could drink it did not.
Speaker 3: I did not.
Speaker 2: It was half empty.
Speaker 1: Coming up next, I'm going to tell you guys how
Speaker 1: over the weekend I got chased down by security through
Speaker 1: an Airport's.
Speaker 2: A shocking weekend.
Speaker 1: I was just smuggling again, what isiah with me?
Speaker 3: Let's blame for that as well.
Speaker 2: It's next pick up.
Speaker 3: I don't even want to tell you this story because
Speaker 3: I know what's going to happen, Laura. I don't want
Speaker 3: to tell you strapping people.
Speaker 2: I hate to break it to you, but our job
Speaker 2: is to tell.
Speaker 3: Yeah. But the problem is I'm okay with everyone else
Speaker 3: knowing about it.
Speaker 1: You will use this against me as like ammunition that
Speaker 1: I'm forgetful who or me specifically Mitch.
Speaker 3: No actually brit as well.
Speaker 1: But like last week, I had to go to Melbourne
Speaker 1: and my flight was like the very first flight out,
Speaker 1: so I had to get up at four thirty in
Speaker 1: the morning. I had to get to the airport very
Speaker 1: lovely of radio. They spoiled me and they paid for
Speaker 1: valet parking for me, so I got to drive up
Speaker 1: and then park. The Valet parking is right next to
Speaker 1: the actual airport.
Speaker 3: Brittany's looking at me like they've never paid Valet because I.
Speaker 4: Have done what you have done multiple times. Did you
Speaker 4: ask for it though did not get Valet? Well, I
Speaker 4: asked for extra leg room on my flight and I
Speaker 4: did not get that. No, I got the Valet parking,
Speaker 4: though fancy pants.
Speaker 2: Put me on a bus. I don't even get to
Speaker 2: go to the Perth.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, well, look I had my Valet parking.
Speaker 1: I drove up to the departures and I drove into
Speaker 1: Valet and then I realized I was actually in the
Speaker 1: wrong one, like I booked the one that was downstairs.
Speaker 1: So I was running like exactly to time. I was
Speaker 1: already pushing get to get this flight. So I missed
Speaker 1: the entry. I went to the wrong entry. Okay, departure
Speaker 1: Valet sparkled, but I was departing, so I was going
Speaker 1: anyway whatever.
Speaker 3: I get there.
Speaker 1: I drive into the Valet parking at arrivals and I
Speaker 1: pull in and I have like ten minutes to get
Speaker 1: to the flight.
Speaker 3: I am all sorts of chaos. So I wind down
Speaker 3: the window I'm like, I'm so sorry, I'm running so
Speaker 3: late for my flight. And the guy there was a dog.
Speaker 3: Don't worry, it happens all the time. He helps me
Speaker 3: get my bags out. I was like, this is so lovely. Anyway,
Speaker 3: get my bags.
Speaker 1: I run through, I check in, and I get to
Speaker 1: the gate and I am smug ass like I've just arrived.
Speaker 2: I smacked down.
Speaker 1: I had to nailed cars in Valet, paid for whatever,
Speaker 1: Like who am I? And then I see this man
Speaker 1: running through the airport who looks really angry.
Speaker 2: Well, I just I just don't know where this is
Speaker 2: going on.
Speaker 1: I okay, So he's running through the airport and he
Speaker 1: looks like, hey, this man looks panicked, and people are
Speaker 1: kind of getting out of the way because he is
Speaker 1: running through the airport.
Speaker 3: You've left your small child in the back of the cold. No,
Speaker 3: my kids not with me.
Speaker 1: And I look up and I could see he was
Speaker 1: wearing the same vest that the Valet guys were wearing
Speaker 1: when I dropped my car off. And he's running and
Speaker 1: then he sees me and he starts running towards me,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what is going on?
Speaker 3: Anyway, he runs up and he goes ma'am, you forgot
Speaker 3: the keys.
Speaker 1: I left the car at the entrance of valet, parking
Speaker 1: through everything else at him, and I had my keys
Speaker 1: in my handbag. There's no way that a car could
Speaker 1: have gotten even gotten past it. I just parked in
Speaker 1: the driveway and I left there, and the poor guy
Speaker 1: had to come through security, had.
Speaker 2: Styloud staff worker had to take off his hive his vest.
Speaker 3: He didn't kept it on. And then I was also
Speaker 3: because I don't like I don't take criticism very well. Guys, don't.
Speaker 3: I get very defensive.
Speaker 1: Then I get defensive, and so my initial reaction was
Speaker 1: to be defensive.
Speaker 3: I was like, well you didn't you didn't ask for
Speaker 3: the keys because I haven't done it before. So it's like, ma'am,
Speaker 3: don't gas like me horrible in the middle of the road.
Speaker 3: So people kind of get past and then took the keys.
Speaker 3: Imagine if she got on the flight and four days
Speaker 3: later she comes back in the cart, would they would
Speaker 3: have They would have had to have.
Speaker 2: Told I would have. But you sit there at the
Speaker 2: gate with your coffee, probably an extra couple of minutes
Speaker 2: to spare. You're nice and relax. Your car's in valid.
Speaker 1: Tell me that you've never done valet parking without telling
Speaker 1: me you've never done valet.
Speaker 2: Not built for valet parking. You're not built for travel,
Speaker 2: to be honest, I don't think.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm built for sleeping. Anyway, Let's get out of.
Speaker 2: Let's get a sleep, Let's get you to bed. The
Speaker 2: most Laura burn thing I've ever If that is you listening,
Speaker 2: we pay for his dinner or something that poor man.
Speaker 3: No, he's fine. I gave him his ten thousand steps
Speaker 3: for the day. True, there's little bit of workout. Oh
Speaker 3: I'm thinking, Is I want Valet next time?
Speaker 4: Britt?
