Speaker 1: L come on, here we go. Hollo girl.
Speaker 2: Hello, Happy Monday everybody. I am feeling energized. I am
Speaker 2: ready for the day.
Speaker 3: It is a very big evening.
Speaker 2: Oh what are you going to do?
Speaker 3: It's not what I'm going to do, but it's hopefully
Speaker 3: what the Matildas are going to do.
Speaker 2: Our soccer team, football team, soccer team, now Australia's darlings.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna put my hand up and actually say I
Speaker 3: still don't fully know the rules of football. I will
Speaker 3: say that I love watching it, but I'm a lot
Speaker 3: more invested since I started dating a football player, so
Speaker 3: I have to be more invested now. But I'm obsessed
Speaker 3: with the Matilda's journey. Tonight they're playing Denmark and this
Speaker 3: is what is going to decide if they make it
Speaker 3: to the quarterfinals.
Speaker 2: So it's it is absolute. Mitch couldn't care less.
Speaker 1: Look and there's a ball, Yeah, shop, it's a ball.
Speaker 2: It's the Fever Women's World carp It's right.
Speaker 1: I'm all across it. I love it, the shin pads
Speaker 1: and everything.
Speaker 2: Which likes to watch the men's version.
Speaker 3: He's not as excited by the females, are you.
Speaker 1: No, I'm excited for the girls. It actually is getting
Speaker 1: to crunch time, and I think it's very exciting.
Speaker 4: Are you going laws, I'm not going. No, I'm packing
Speaker 4: up my house currently.
Speaker 1: You're moving.
Speaker 4: I'm moving house. Yes, So there's nothing exciting happening in
Speaker 4: my life at the moment.
Speaker 2: But do you know what I do want to talk
Speaker 2: to you guys about.
Speaker 4: Will Smith came out on the weekend and he has
Speaker 4: regretted something he did in his parenting and I think
Speaker 4: it's I mean, it's pretty big.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's an unusual family, isn't it.
Speaker 1: It's a really and they're always around that red table talking.
Speaker 2: That's the talk shop, the therapy session that they're doing.
Speaker 1: That's how they came up with the name. It all
Speaker 1: makes sense. Okay, that's on the way at a very
Speaker 1: big pick up. Let's start the show. Welcome to Monday,
Speaker 1: heading to Chemist's ware House today, great savings every day.
Speaker 1: It is the pick up Monday afternoon. Britt, Laura and Mitch. Hey,
Speaker 1: tryvis dabble maybe with a DC ten Sport one hundred
Speaker 1: meal by Dan Carter. It is new and it is
Speaker 1: exclusive to chemist Where for just forty nine ninety nine.
Speaker 2: Will Smith is having a bit of a hard time lately,
Speaker 2: don't you think.
Speaker 1: What since the slap at the things he's.
Speaker 4: Brought on himself most of it, I mean, the slab
Speaker 4: was pretty bad, but okay, the whole you know what
Speaker 4: the red table is that Jada, his wife does where
Speaker 4: they sit around and they I mean a lot of
Speaker 4: the time they seemed to hash out some of their
Speaker 4: family stuff that really shouldn't be hashed out in public.
Speaker 3: It's a chat show, but it's like a personal therapy session.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 4: So recently there was a conversation that happened on there
Speaker 4: with will Smith's daughter and also her brother, so Jaden
Speaker 4: and Willow, and they were talking about all this resentment
Speaker 4: that they had towards their mostly towards their dad, towards
Speaker 4: will from their childhood, and will went on to talk
Speaker 4: about how much he regretted his parenting of them when
Speaker 4: they were younger.
Speaker 2: This is what Willow had to say, I.
Speaker 3: Definitely had to forgive you and Daddy, you know, for
Speaker 3: in that whole with my hair thing.
Speaker 2: It was mostly Daddy because.
Speaker 3: She was so like Horrish right certain times. It was
Speaker 3: like a couple years honestly, like trying to regain trust for.
Speaker 1: Not feeling like I wasn't listened to or no one
Speaker 1: cared what I felt.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, So this is talking about how both Jaden
Speaker 4: and Willow were really thrust into the spotlight as young kids.
Speaker 4: They were so successful in their own ride, but they've
Speaker 4: come out now as adults saying that they actually never
Speaker 4: wanted to be in the spotlight. You might remember Willow
Speaker 4: had that hugely successful song I whip my hair back
Speaker 4: and forth.
Speaker 3: I will my hair back and forth, my hair back
Speaker 3: and forth.
Speaker 2: So she eleven, She.
Speaker 4: Was ten years old when that came out, and then
Speaker 4: she was touring it when she was eleven, So I mean,
Speaker 4: I don't know if this was very widely reported on
Speaker 4: the time, but during the tour she wanted.
Speaker 2: To cancel it. She wanted to stop touring.
Speaker 4: So as an eleven year old, she said, you know, dad,
Speaker 4: I don't want to be doing this anymore, and will
Speaker 4: made her continue the tour, and so she shaved her
Speaker 4: own head in protests because she so desperately didn't want
Speaker 4: to be doing that tour. And then also Jaden was
Speaker 4: in things like Pursuit of Happiness. He was only eight
Speaker 4: years old and he was starring alongside his dad, and
Speaker 4: basically Will has come out now with adult kids, and
Speaker 4: he said that he thought the picture of happiness that
Speaker 4: he thought he saw for himself, the picture of being
Speaker 4: perfect parenting, was to be able to set them up
Speaker 4: for them to have the successes that he always dreamed
Speaker 4: of for himself. And so he really pushed them into
Speaker 4: the spotlight and pushed them into being child stars, even
Speaker 4: though no part of them wanted to live that life.
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's this idea of being famous equals success.
Speaker 3: It allows happiness, but it doesn't. You hear a lot
Speaker 3: of people, a lot of famous people, a lot of
Speaker 3: Hollywood people. They all, especially the child stars you can look.
Speaker 3: You could name so many, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears. They
Speaker 3: all had some really big issues in their life because
Speaker 3: they were pushed into it too young.
Speaker 4: Well it makes you think, at what point was it
Speaker 4: the kids that wanted to get into it at the start,
Speaker 4: But then their careers take off and there's this huge trajectory.
Speaker 2: There's so much interest in them.
Speaker 4: They go from doing something that they love doing, which
Speaker 4: might be performing, into it becoming a career, and then
Speaker 4: there's all the responsibilities they're being forced to not be
Speaker 4: kids and to grow up almost instantaneously. At what point
Speaker 4: do you allow your kid to get off the treadmill?
Speaker 4: You know, if they say I have had enough now,
Speaker 4: this has gone too far. If the balls rolling and
Speaker 4: they're making all this money and their successes are going
Speaker 4: from strength to strength, when do you let the kid
Speaker 4: just be a kid?
Speaker 1: Give? But I'd also argue that it has set them
Speaker 1: up for life. We know who they are. They'll never
Speaker 1: have to work another day in their life. When the kid, yeah,
Speaker 1: because they've worked when they very kids. But I mean,
Speaker 1: when you're a kid, what's the difference between being forced
Speaker 1: to put out a song and with your hair back
Speaker 1: and forth and my parents forcing me to play junior
Speaker 1: soccer that I hated and detested and cried every day.
Speaker 1: I'm being serious, like, I still have a bit of
Speaker 1: resentment for them forcing me to do that. It's the same,
Speaker 1: just on a different magnitude.
Speaker 4: Their scale is so much different though, because I think
Speaker 4: it's not just around the activity forcing kid to do
Speaker 4: the activity.
Speaker 2: It's the notoriety. It's being a household name.
Speaker 4: It's not being able to walk down the street without
Speaker 4: people knowing I was at soccer.
Speaker 1: The local area really knew who I was. I La,
Speaker 1: it was terrible.
Speaker 2: Oh bless.
Speaker 3: I imagine the situation with Will and Willow at the time,
Speaker 3: and why he probably forced her to keep going is
Speaker 3: logistically speak, the tickets would have sold. That flow on
Speaker 3: effect of pulling and and tied to it would be
Speaker 3: something that's very long lasting and detrimental to his to
Speaker 3: her career. So I imagine Will as a dad, was like,
Speaker 3: I get it, but you've committed to follow through.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so hold on. So Will regrets it now? Laura,
Speaker 1: you've you've got kids, and your kids are on your
Speaker 1: social media? Is there only part of you that regrets
Speaker 1: putting them out there? And you know, getting baby clothes.
Speaker 4: That Huggies campaign that we did when Marley was three
Speaker 4: months old?
Speaker 1: Did you do that?
Speaker 2: I mean my kids?
Speaker 4: I mean, okay, this sounds so bad coming off the
Speaker 4: back of this, but my kids have.
Speaker 2: Done different jobs, like brand.
Speaker 4: Jobs, which they get paid for, and all that money
Speaker 4: is sitting in an account for them somewhere.
Speaker 3: But yeah, She's like in the Cayman alisty, We're not
Speaker 3: paying any money on it, no, but it's sitting there
Speaker 3: for when they are adults and then they.
Speaker 4: Can tap into it. But there's absolutely parts of this
Speaker 4: that makes me think, well, are they going to turn
Speaker 4: around when they're thirteen years old and say, why was
Speaker 4: my face on that campaign.
Speaker 1: Protest?
Speaker 2: There's a difference. No, there's this brings me this.
Speaker 3: I think a three months old in a nappy on
Speaker 3: an ad because it's not like you were there gone
Speaker 3: crawl crawl like you were. It was gonna sit there
Speaker 3: in the nappy regardless. But I think it's different when
Speaker 3: you're eleven. You have a bit more autonomy over what
Speaker 3: you want and you're like, I'm viscerally uncomfortable with it.
Speaker 3: So it's good that Will has come out and acknowledged.
Speaker 2: She's like, Yep, I messed up. Wasn't great? I regret that.
Speaker 2: I love to see the accountability.
Speaker 1: Next on the show, is there any situation? Don't answer now?
Speaker 1: Is there any situation in which you'd allow your partner
Speaker 1: to have one final night with their ex in the bedroom?
Speaker 1: Think about it because that's what we're chatting about. Next
Speaker 1: on the Pickup, It is the Pickup Monday AVO with Britt,
Speaker 1: Laura and Mitch. Thanks to Chemists Warehouse, do yourself a
Speaker 1: favor heading today great savings every day I.
Speaker 3: Have stumbled across possibly the biggest conundrum predicament I have
Speaker 3: ever read in my life. Now this is going viral online.
Speaker 3: This is actually a really sad story, and I think
Speaker 3: you guys are gonna have a lot of feels. There
Speaker 3: is a man that has gone online for advice because
Speaker 3: he doesn't nowhere else to turn. His wife of ten
Speaker 3: years has been diagnosed with a terminal disease and she's
Speaker 3: got about nine.
Speaker 2: Months left to live. Truly horrific.
Speaker 3: They've been married a decade, together longer I'm not sure.
Speaker 3: He says he doesn't remember life without her, and he
Speaker 3: doesn't know what life will be when she's gone, So
Speaker 3: it's really sad.
Speaker 2: But then he said, I'm.
Speaker 3: Trying to make every day of her life amazing. Anything
Speaker 3: she wants she gets, I'm helping her live to the fullest.
Speaker 2: I'm helping her.
Speaker 3: Tick off bucket list, like doing what you would do
Speaker 3: if your partner has nine months left to live. She
Speaker 3: has sat him down and said, I have one big
Speaker 3: tick that I want to tick off my list. Her
Speaker 3: dying wish is to sleep with her ex partner.
Speaker 2: What now, it's.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So in about she has about seven months left
Speaker 3: before she's in a wheelchair, so this is a pretty
Speaker 3: maybe six month period of where she's physically going to
Speaker 3: be able to do it. And she has gone to
Speaker 3: her husband or forever who is trying to look after
Speaker 3: her and love her and nurse her to the afterlife.
Speaker 3: And she has said, dying wishes to sleep with my egg.
Speaker 2: So what is he asking for?
Speaker 4: He obviously doesn't want her to do it, and he's
Speaker 4: what's the question?
Speaker 3: No, he said, So now I'm left with this. Do
Speaker 3: I deny my dying wife a wish for my own
Speaker 3: ego or let her go have sex with another man
Speaker 3: who she feels was better.
Speaker 2: Oh, oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: Okay, it has a very very sad situation. We're not
Speaker 4: gonna deny that. But it doesn't allow you to just
Speaker 4: treat your husband or your partner like absolute piece of
Speaker 4: shi t like you just you don't disregard ten years
Speaker 4: of your relationship and have a complete get out of
Speaker 4: jail free card because you're sick and dying, especially if
Speaker 4: you expect your husband to continue to take care of you.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think it's a get out of jail
Speaker 3: free cards.
Speaker 2: She knows what it means. But then what I actually
Speaker 2: see so selfish. I'm not so hot. But is okay?
Speaker 3: This is the question he's saying, like, is it selfish
Speaker 3: when she's dying and that's all she wants, And he's.
Speaker 2: Like, how do I? I either let her do.
Speaker 3: It because she's dying and I I live with that forever,
Speaker 3: or he's the jerk that's like, no way you're doing that.
Speaker 3: I think I get the impression he's going to let
Speaker 3: her do it because he doesn't want to be that
Speaker 3: selfish person that keeps her dying wish from her. But
Speaker 3: I feel so heartbroken for him.
Speaker 1: I'm actually I think it's fine. I think no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I think she should be able to sleep with her eggs.
Speaker 1: You both look me in the eyes of all right now,
Speaker 1: and you Laura and you Britt tell me sex with
Speaker 1: your ex is an incredible God.
Speaker 2: I would vomit in my own mouth.
Speaker 1: Is it good?
Speaker 2: And on him?
Speaker 1: Is it good?
Speaker 3: Urine?
Speaker 2: Sleep with money?
Speaker 1: You're going to okay? This is awful. Like you said, Laura,
Speaker 1: you are going to die. It's that you are looking
Speaker 1: at the end of your life. Yes, I think it's okay.
Speaker 3: I think it's different if she's like my dying wishes.
Speaker 3: I want to sleep with my hall pass. Jason Momo
Speaker 3: is my hall pass. I've actually investigated it, and he's
Speaker 3: down for it. He's going to grant me my wish.
Speaker 2: Can I do it?
Speaker 3: That's the only way I'd be like, do you know what?
Speaker 3: You have wanted to sleep with this super famous hot
Speaker 3: person your whole life?
Speaker 1: Do it?
Speaker 4: This is so just dismissive to your partner. It is
Speaker 4: so unbelievably disrespectful.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 4: And to think that she then wants to, well, not
Speaker 4: that she wants to, but there's an expectation that he
Speaker 4: will go on to care for her after she's completely
Speaker 4: prioritized a physical experience over everything that they've shared for
Speaker 4: the past ten years.
Speaker 2: It makes me mad for him. I feel angry about this.
Speaker 3: It gets worse, she said to him because he goes.
Speaker 3: He's trying to be patient and he said, okay.
Speaker 2: I'm okay.
Speaker 3: Why I'm trying to understand And she pretty much said,
Speaker 3: I mean like, I'm emotionally connected to you, but physically
Speaker 3: he's better.
Speaker 1: Wait what if she what if what if treatment works?
Speaker 1: She doesn't die after she after she SEPs the exit.
Speaker 2: It was just an excuse. It's the ultimate cheating excuse
Speaker 2: I was dying.
Speaker 1: I called the X does so many potholes in this? All? Right? Well,
Speaker 1: if you've got to if you've got an opinion on that,
Speaker 1: DMS at the pickup, we'd love to hear your thoughts.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Next, the biggest block bust a weekend. Everyone's going to
Speaker 1: watch Barbie, Everyone's going to watch Oppenheimer. I went to
Speaker 1: the movies on the weekend and had an incredibly awkward
Speaker 1: experience leaving the cinema. And if you've seen Oppenheimer, which
Speaker 1: a lot of people have, I think you'll be able
Speaker 1: to connect with me on this. We'll do it next
Speaker 1: on the pickup. It is the pick up Monday afternoon. Britt,
Speaker 1: Laura and Mitch. Thanks a Chemist Warehouse. You should do
Speaker 1: yourself a favor and try the new DC ten Sport
Speaker 1: one hundred mil by Dan Carter, new an exclusive to
Speaker 1: Chemists Warehouse for just forty nine to ninety nine. Now
Speaker 1: everyone is talking about the two big blockbuster hits at
Speaker 1: the moment. You're either going to see Barbie or you're
Speaker 1: going to see Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer is the Christopher Nolan film
Speaker 1: about the creation of the atomic bomb. It's a more
Speaker 1: grim than Barbie All but yeah, very different films. Oppenheimer's intense.
Speaker 2: A man who gave them the power to destroy themselves.
Speaker 2: It's actually a sexy voice and the world is not prepared.
Speaker 1: I'm sitting and I'm watching the movie and I enjoy it.
Speaker 1: The movie ends three hours, very long, and I went
Speaker 1: and went and saw it with my little sister, Rachel.
Speaker 1: And I sat there with Rachel and the movie ends
Speaker 1: in the credits roll and Rachel turns to me and
Speaker 1: she goes, geez, that was intense, wasn't it. Go yeah,
Speaker 1: it was a very intense movie. She goes, isn't that insane?
Speaker 1: Imagine if that actually happened? Stop it? And I said, raight, Di,
Speaker 1: I go, what do you mean? She imagine if we
Speaker 1: actually built a bomb that big and dropped it in Japan.
Speaker 1: And I said, Rache, sit back down, grabby popcorns it
Speaker 1: back down, because we've got we've got a lot to.
Speaker 2: Learn, We've got a history lesson to do.
Speaker 1: It's real, it's true. And she said, I thought this
Speaker 1: was fiction. I thought it was She thought it was
Speaker 1: a movie.
Speaker 4: Did she just well, it was a movie, but did
Speaker 4: she just missed that module in history?
Speaker 2: Class or something. What happened?
Speaker 1: Then I felt guilty because I did all her assessments
Speaker 1: for her in high school because she really struggled with
Speaker 1: modern history. So I think I sat the whole Nagasaki
Speaker 1: assignment for her and did it all. She didn't.
Speaker 2: She actually doesn't know it's real.
Speaker 1: She was shocked, very upset too when she found out
Speaker 1: it was real. I'm like, she needs to process the service.
Speaker 1: And Nando's we had some chicken.
Speaker 2: Lots of people died. That reminds me last year.
Speaker 3: I was in America and basically we're having lunch and
Speaker 3: this girl she goes.
Speaker 2: Imagine if the Titanic was real, and I did the
Speaker 2: same thing.
Speaker 3: I just like choked on my chicken Sniozl sandwich. I
Speaker 3: was like, I'm sorry, she's like the Titanic.
Speaker 2: She's like like, who comes up with that? And I
Speaker 2: was like, his history came up with that? Like that's
Speaker 2: a real thing. What do you do when you find
Speaker 2: out that your friends are idiots? What did you do
Speaker 2: when you found out? I feel like, how do I
Speaker 2: unsubscribe for my sister?
Speaker 1: Now? It's hard, but everyone has something like this. I
Speaker 1: feel like everyone has has realized something really embarrassingly late
Speaker 1: in their adult life.
Speaker 2: Mine's very dumb. But I also blame my mum. Just
Speaker 2: did it to me.
Speaker 4: You know when you go and you have like Chinese takeout,
Speaker 4: and how they have those Chinese mushrooms and they're quite
Speaker 4: dark on the top and then they're they're like very round.
Speaker 1: Like little button mushroom yummy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: My mum when I was about seven, told me that
Speaker 4: they were fish eyeballs. And I had not eaten them
Speaker 4: until I was in my late twenties and I was
Speaker 4: on a date and I was like, oh, I don't
Speaker 4: eat the fish eyeballs.
Speaker 1: And he was like.
Speaker 4: And I was like, the fish eyeballs, I can't do them.
Speaker 4: And he was like, they're mushrooms and you're an idiot.
Speaker 2: That is so funny.
Speaker 1: I think I'd rather think that identic quizz fake. Let
Speaker 1: us know on the pickup dot com dot au. We'll
Speaker 1: give you a five hundred dollar chemist warehouse. What did
Speaker 1: you realize late in life?
Speaker 2: Tell us how dumb you are to winerprise. Well, it's like,
Speaker 2: if you five hundred dollars, give out your conversation.
Speaker 1: Let's go. If you want to podcast the show, you
Speaker 1: can catch up on the iHeartRadio app. Just search the pickup,
Speaker 1: It's all there. Laura regrets some of her parenting choices.
Speaker 1: We'd learned that earlier in the show.
Speaker 4: I mean, I think I'm a reasonably good parent. You're
Speaker 4: not a parent if you don't regret some things.
Speaker 3: I think you're not a parent if you don't make mistakes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and a good parent regrets those mistakes. Bad parents
Speaker 4: just keep doing the same thing. And that's it from us.
Speaker 4: See you guys, see tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Hey,
