Speaker 1: Life Uncut acknowledges the traditional custodians of country whose lands
Speaker 1: were never seeded. We pay our respects to their elders
Speaker 1: past and present.
Speaker 2: Always was, always will be Aboriginal Land. This episode of
Speaker 2: the podcast was recorded on Gadigal Land of the Orination.
Speaker 3: Hi guys, and are welcome back to our very first
Speaker 3: episode of The Pickup.
Speaker 2: This is a little summation of the week, the best bits,
Speaker 2: the highlights, and not none of the low lass It's definitely.
Speaker 3: Not the whole thing.
Speaker 4: We cut the low lights, all of them.
Speaker 3: Which is so Mitch is in it all. You're the highlight.
Speaker 2: You all know that. Last year we got to do
Speaker 2: our awesome Saturday show. We used to have so much
Speaker 2: fun and Britt, myself, Mitch, the three of us on radio.
Speaker 2: And this year we have started our very first weekly
Speaker 2: national show, The Pickup. It is on at three pm
Speaker 2: to four every single day and this is this week's Pickup.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there were some great nuggets of gold in there,
Speaker 1: some great interviews, some great laughs, and some a couple
Speaker 1: of interventions even thrown in.
Speaker 4: In the first week. We did far too many interventions.
Speaker 3: Always with brit at the bottom of the awful it
Speaker 3: was always me was that?
Speaker 4: But I also had fun. Are you guys enjoying the
Speaker 4: first week on air?
Speaker 2: I loved doing radio with you guys, Yeah so much.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get into the show.
Speaker 4: It's the Pickup with britt, Laura and Mitch. Now Laura
Speaker 4: went in to unpack something that our beloved Brittany Hockley's
Speaker 4: up to.
Speaker 3: What's the problem.
Speaker 2: It's the fact that you you recently needed to do
Speaker 2: a call out for a dog walker. Yes, Now the
Speaker 2: call out wasn't just a you know, ask your friends,
Speaker 2: get a recommendation.
Speaker 4: I need someone for one walker day, you know, No.
Speaker 3: This turned into a full interview process. Correct, It was
Speaker 3: the where's the problem? I'm sorry?
Speaker 4: It was like you were looking for an O pair
Speaker 4: for children for a yeah, yeah, all.
Speaker 3: Like you're hiring a CEO for the position like I have.
Speaker 3: The Essentially that is exactly what it is.
Speaker 4: Was pacing around the studios on the phone going job
Speaker 4: history exactly all right? And did you study there long?
Speaker 4: And why did you leave the career at Telstra?
Speaker 3: I'm like this, poor girl just just set the scene.
Speaker 2: Britt literally did zoom interviews for the dog walker before
Speaker 2: meeting them in the flesh.
Speaker 3: But then do you want to know when I did so?
Speaker 1: I actually then then I took it a step further,
Speaker 1: And then I met the one that I thought was
Speaker 1: going to the chosen one. We met for a for
Speaker 1: a combat compatibility test.
Speaker 2: Compatibility with her and the dog or her And you like,
Speaker 2: what does it.
Speaker 4: Matter if it's you it's walking the dog.
Speaker 3: Well I wanted to.
Speaker 1: I wanted to see how she interacted with Delilah. So
Speaker 1: we met at the park, at the local park. Because
Speaker 1: you can, I have done this in the past. This
Speaker 1: is why I did it. I needed to get one,
Speaker 1: probably six months ago, and I ended up with this
Speaker 1: new person that I didn't go through a thorough interview
Speaker 1: session with and it didn't work.
Speaker 3: She wasn't right.
Speaker 1: They didn't gel. I didn't trust her. Min at night
Speaker 1: he thought something she was something wasn't wrong. She wasn't
Speaker 1: the same, and as a really good mother, I picked
Speaker 1: up on that. So I had a compatibility test. We
Speaker 1: met at the local path. I watched the interaction. I
Speaker 1: needed to make sure they had chemistry. I wanted to
Speaker 1: ask her where she goes, how many walks, how many
Speaker 1: dogs are there?
Speaker 4: It was a job dry does she does?
Speaker 1: She incorporate balls? Does she not incorporate balls?
Speaker 3: What's what is the level? I'm not I wish I
Speaker 3: was kidding.
Speaker 4: The poo pick up technique, that's very important.
Speaker 1: I watched her do it. I made Doyle do a
Speaker 1: really big pick. I didn't watch that, but I actually
Speaker 1: I know you guys laugh. But Delilah is like, you
Speaker 1: want to know if you're taking your dog. I love
Speaker 1: my dog. My dog is my best friend. I love
Speaker 1: him more than anything. I don't have anything else, all right,
Speaker 1: So then when I trust her with someone, I need
Speaker 1: to know that this person's responsible. She's not gonna let
Speaker 1: her run in front of a car, because that's a
Speaker 1: really big deal to me. And Delilah has no road sense.
Speaker 1: She would run in front of a bus.
Speaker 3: So I needed to make.
Speaker 1: Sure this was a responsible, caring, loving dog walker.
Speaker 2: I don't even think I go to that length to
Speaker 2: find Maybe that makes me I think we need.
Speaker 1: To have the intervention on you.
Speaker 2: Honestly, I've had people take care of my children who
Speaker 2: I have done far less checks on what you're doing
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that says more about you to me.
Speaker 4: We're back after this is the pick up The Bachelor
Speaker 4: finale air last night, and from all accounts, it was
Speaker 4: a mess. Laura Burne, I know you watched it.
Speaker 2: It was a mess, but it made for very good TV.
Speaker 2: You know what, The only couple that's still together is
Speaker 2: Jed and Alysia.
Speaker 1: But then you hear that she was kissing some other
Speaker 1: people since they've left the show as well.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean this is why I want to know.
Speaker 2: So apparently they're together, but they've hooked up with other people.
Speaker 3: Litwen time here.
Speaker 4: Now we've got them on the phone, Jed and Alyssia
Speaker 4: join us high guys. How does it feel to be
Speaker 4: the only successful couple of the franchise this season?
Speaker 5: Well, look, yeah, I think it's great.
Speaker 6: We've you know, we've put a lot of work in
Speaker 6: to get to the point where we're open and seeing
Speaker 6: each other. Well the sorry open, that's triggered me. No, no, no,
Speaker 6: we're not open. Let me get that clarified right now.
Speaker 6: But no, look, we're in a good place. I think
Speaker 6: it's been a while since we've been able to be normal,
Speaker 6: so we're just sort of taking it by day and
Speaker 6: I'm seeing there we go.
Speaker 2: Speaking of open, I read something this morning that Alicia,
Speaker 2: you've kissed other people since the show finished.
Speaker 3: Is that true?
Speaker 7: Yeah? Yeah, so we so when the show finished, we
Speaker 7: had our four night rendezvous, which is really nice. That's
Speaker 7: when the walls came down and we really started to
Speaker 7: get to know each other. And then after we left,
Speaker 7: Jed ended up going through something pretty dark and we
Speaker 7: sort of decided, let's not be together until we can
Speaker 7: be together again. But we spoke every day like we
Speaker 7: were there for each other every day, regardless of the
Speaker 7: fact that we weren't officially together anymore, and always just
Speaker 7: open and transparent. And now we're in a position obviously
Speaker 7: where I've seen him for the second time. Last night
Speaker 7: was you know, the second time we've spent the night together.
Speaker 4: You're kidding show?
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, So we've had to keep everything going by
Speaker 7: just text and call all day every day.
Speaker 6: Happy to give a bit of context, because I think
Speaker 6: it's o I had some traumas from my childhood come
Speaker 6: up that I wasn't expecting to come up when I came.
Speaker 8: Off the show.
Speaker 6: I think I was sort of not doing my usual
Speaker 6: day to day things when I came off, and that,
Speaker 6: you know, allowed a bit of space for things to
Speaker 6: come up that I didn't know I was clearly sort
Speaker 6: of not wanting to deal with, but then happened, and
Speaker 6: I think she held me so tightly through that entire thing.
Speaker 6: It's sort of at the time that was like our
Speaker 6: sole focus was helping me heal from that situation. So
Speaker 6: there wasn't a point where any love was lost or
Speaker 6: it was like I don't like you or she doesn't
Speaker 6: like me.
Speaker 8: It was just I think.
Speaker 7: It was more like, let's shift the focus from let's
Speaker 7: not focus on you and I as a couple, Let's
Speaker 7: focus on him as a person.
Speaker 2: The formula really can work and it can be a
Speaker 2: beautiful thing. What is next for you, guys? Now now
Speaker 2: that you can be together, does it mean you're doing
Speaker 2: long distance? What does the relationship look like?
Speaker 6: I think right now it looks like us going out
Speaker 6: for dinner tonight for the first time and see how
Speaker 6: that goes.
Speaker 3: There'll be tough, that's how that's going.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 6: No, we're just excited, like we are very close. I
Speaker 6: think we've grown immensely throughout this and people would never
Speaker 6: sort of quite understand the extent of how deep I think,
Speaker 6: just how understanding of each other goes. Now, So for us,
Speaker 6: it feels like a fairly peaceful, relaxed thing, like.
Speaker 7: You know, not just taking a ring, just you know,
Speaker 7: to take a ring and all of that. I want
Speaker 7: to come off and be as real as possible.
Speaker 3: I would take a ring, yeah, if it was to me,
Speaker 3: which it wasn't.
Speaker 4: No, Laura was telling you. Laura was saying before that,
Speaker 4: how much Because Laura, obviously you're on the batchy with
Speaker 4: Maddie j. You got the ring. How much was it worth?
Speaker 4: You're telling us before we have to.
Speaker 2: Say, well, I think this one was around twenty five thousand.
Speaker 2: But I don't okay, don't hold me to it now.
Speaker 2: I'm worried that Larcens is going to come for me.
Speaker 2: But okay, I heard a rumor if you didn't propose,
Speaker 2: you didn't get to keep the ring this season?
Speaker 3: Is that true?
Speaker 5: Exactly?
Speaker 9: So I.
Speaker 5: Knew she was going to say no.
Speaker 6: But I knew if I could word it a certain
Speaker 6: way and quickly get out of it, I could feel it,
Speaker 6: the gorgeous ring on it. So but I never got
Speaker 6: to tell her that the whole I just thought I.
Speaker 7: Was I'm like my getting punked here, Like have I
Speaker 7: been not speaking English to the last time?
Speaker 8: Wait?
Speaker 2: No, So actually you're a very smart man, Jed. Okay,
Speaker 2: So there's been something that's been going down in my
Speaker 2: household recently that I want to see how you feel
Speaker 2: about this. My beloved Maddy Jay, my husband so weird
Speaker 2: calling him my husband's weird.
Speaker 3: Hearing you say, now, we.
Speaker 4: Only just had the wedding, like in November. It was God, yes,
Speaker 4: I think we like it was.
Speaker 3: We all got marriage, you had it. That's how I feel.
Speaker 2: Well, It's one of those things, right, you get into
Speaker 2: a long term relationship and you think you know everything
Speaker 2: that there is to know about your partner.
Speaker 3: You think that you've covered everything, all the ground I
Speaker 3: can only imagine, but go on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, except with Maddy Jay, because he's very into hobbies.
Speaker 2: So he goes through these like phases of different hobbies
Speaker 2: that he wants to try. Right, we have just entered
Speaker 2: a new phase of hobbies that he does.
Speaker 4: This is sounded like the negative from you in this.
Speaker 2: I'm not not into it, but it's a it's a
Speaker 2: really annoying what're you doing?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 2: So he's just decided to take back up something that
Speaker 2: he used to do back in the nineties, which.
Speaker 3: Is where it should stay.
Speaker 2: He's really into beatboxing and now I.
Speaker 10: Love Are you talking like the Yeah, that was horrible
Speaker 10: to listen to it. Yes, that he does it all day,
Speaker 10: all around. That he is quite good. That it has
Speaker 10: become obsessive, and I wish I was joking.
Speaker 3: So he's actually pretty good, is he can? We can
Speaker 3: we get him on the phone.
Speaker 4: Listen, I've got Maddie up here. I've got his number.
Speaker 4: We've been texting all day. There's a bit of a
Speaker 4: Maddie's on the show, Hollow Matts. Thanks for being here.
Speaker 3: Hey, Maddie, good afternoon.
Speaker 5: How are we that?
Speaker 1: I have just heard that this new hobby you're doing
Speaker 1: apparently you're pretty good at it, but you're driving.
Speaker 3: Laura like up the wall.
Speaker 1: She'sn't complaining about it all day, this beatboxing thing that
Speaker 1: you've got going on.
Speaker 3: Let me let me defend you and myself. I'm not
Speaker 3: being driven up the war.
Speaker 2: I just find it confusing that, as a thirty six
Speaker 2: year old.
Speaker 3: Man, you've gotten really into me. It's an unusual hobby. Like,
Speaker 3: I'm not alone in thinking.
Speaker 5: That, Laura. You told me you liked it when I
Speaker 5: started doing it. I'm doing more of it is because
Speaker 5: I thought you're into it.
Speaker 3: That's not what she's been telling us off air.
Speaker 4: Matt, what do you yeah, she's not that into it.
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not not into it.
Speaker 2: I want to be supportive of everything that you throw yourself.
Speaker 4: Okay, so we're going to have to hear this, so
Speaker 4: can we We're going to bring everything to silence. We're
Speaker 4: alive on the air. You've got the stage, Matt. You
Speaker 4: give us some of your beatboxing.
Speaker 5: Okay, here we go.
Speaker 3: So it was actually pretty good.
Speaker 1: You started with the motor boat.
Speaker 3: Haven't heard that in a while.
Speaker 4: I think we can work this into the show something
Speaker 4: or a new show. This is show too. I think
Speaker 4: we could build this into one of a bit of
Speaker 4: our production that we use in and out of the show.
Speaker 2: This started off as me being like, do you think
Speaker 2: that this is a normal thing?
Speaker 3: And now you have fully committed to encouraging.
Speaker 4: It, Mitch, I don't know. Hold give me a beat again, Matt.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna try and spit some pickup lyrics, right, you
Speaker 4: can jump into British.
Speaker 3: I'm going to give some background.
Speaker 4: Okay, so did you lace a sick pick up beat? Matt?
Speaker 4: And then and we'll jump.
Speaker 5: In and we'll not last one too fast, too slow
Speaker 5: and bright.
Speaker 3: We need a little bit more length. Okay length.
Speaker 5: If you want a lot of lengths to come to
Speaker 5: the right.
Speaker 4: I hit it. DJ.
Speaker 9: This is the pick up with britt Law and your
Speaker 9: afternoon pickup. If you're a mum in the car, we
Speaker 9: know you'd rather be at the bar picks in the
Speaker 9: back of the bat.
Speaker 11: Crazy J is the three bucks and as a cray
Speaker 11: God created one.
Speaker 1: Check that that Now, that was a masterpiece.
Speaker 3: That doesn't get us all figned. I don't know what
Speaker 3: will That was Mozart.
Speaker 4: Thank you, Maddie. I support and I think we've converted Laura.
Speaker 4: We support the new hobby.
Speaker 5: Just confirming that wasn't free. That wasn't free.
Speaker 9: I'm charging royaltiead of yourself, Matt into that one.
Speaker 4: Mad you ladies know you Sheridan right, Yes we do. Well.
Speaker 4: This is actually it's a really tragic story. So who
Speaker 4: has opened up about a horrific experience that happened when
Speaker 4: a couple spiked his drink that I.
Speaker 8: Was in Sydney a few years ago and I was
Speaker 8: around Melbourne Cup.
Speaker 3: I actually got someone drugged me. Two people drugged me
Speaker 3: and I.
Speaker 4: Was stuck for about eight hours truly awful. And the
Speaker 4: reason I bring this up is because you don't often
Speaker 4: hear it happening to men. It's often a female lad narrative.
Speaker 3: It's actually so frightening.
Speaker 1: I've been drugged three times, by the way. You yeah,
Speaker 1: and I know that Laura's had a situation. I have
Speaker 1: so many friends as well, female friends that have been
Speaker 1: in this situation too, Like it is so problematic, but
Speaker 1: it's so prevalent. And I think a lot of people
Speaker 1: don't know how prevalent it is because it's not wildly reported.
Speaker 1: I know what happened to me. I didn't because there
Speaker 1: was a part of me that was like, well, what
Speaker 1: are they going to do about it?
Speaker 3: Anyway? How are they going to prove it? Like you
Speaker 3: just think that?
Speaker 1: And I think that most women think that unless there's
Speaker 1: a way for them to feel that they one hundred
Speaker 1: percent can be heard and something can be done about it.
Speaker 2: And also, I mean, like, what has happened to you here?
Speaker 2: Often you don't know. You don't remember because of the
Speaker 2: whole situation because you don't have you know, you don't
Speaker 2: have your cognitive.
Speaker 4: Ability, you've been drugged, you.
Speaker 2: Don't know, So it's really hard to then talk about
Speaker 2: something when you don't know the specifics, but like you know,
Speaker 2: even ris with what you're saying for it, like it's
Speaker 2: happened to you three times, it's happened to me once.
Speaker 2: I know so many women, and I think that it's
Speaker 2: it's something that we have to be conscious of as women.
Speaker 2: But you don't hear men like how many times have
Speaker 2: you left the house and gone out and thought, well,
Speaker 2: better be careful that my drink doesn't get spiked.
Speaker 4: And not once. It is not a thought that is
Speaker 4: top of mind for me when I go out clubbing
Speaker 4: or drinking and with friends as well. Never think about it.
Speaker 3: I think about it all the time.
Speaker 2: But this is the thing, right, like the scary part
Speaker 2: of this story, and it's something that I hope that
Speaker 2: everyone is really conscious about, is that it doesn't just
Speaker 2: happen when you're at a nightclub or you're out with strangers.
Speaker 2: Like my experience was with someone who I thought was
Speaker 2: my friend, so I think, you know, and in this
Speaker 2: experience with Hugh Sheridan, it was someone who he thought
Speaker 2: was his friends and people he knew. And I think
Speaker 2: that that is something that's very underrepresented and not talked
Speaker 2: about enough. So I mean, it is so brave of
Speaker 2: you to come forward and share this story, but also
Speaker 2: just to really highlight that not only is it strangers,
Speaker 2: it's people that you know that can be the people
Speaker 2: at the bottom of this.
Speaker 12: Well.
Speaker 3: I mean one of mine was on a date.
Speaker 1: One of mine was a barman, so that made me
Speaker 1: very worried, disgusting. You can be as careful as you
Speaker 1: want covering your drinks and you know, walking around a bar,
Speaker 1: but if it's come from behind the bar when you ordered,
Speaker 1: it's out of your control.
Speaker 4: And the other.
Speaker 1: One was a patron just at a nightclub kind of
Speaker 1: like outdancing.
Speaker 4: Well, the other thing you hear is is you get
Speaker 4: taught this. I mean, we got taught in school when
Speaker 4: I was in school. And you tell your daughters and
Speaker 4: pairs to tell your kids when they're going when that
Speaker 4: age about to go clubbing when they're seventeen eighteen. But
Speaker 4: this happened to Hugh when he was in his thirties.
Speaker 4: I mean, laws that happened to it happened to both
Speaker 4: of you thirty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I also think on that you become so
Speaker 2: because when you are eighteen, you're very hyper vigilant, you know,
Speaker 2: you're eighteen and that you've heard all these horror stories
Speaker 2: and you think, oh god, I'll cover my drink and
Speaker 2: you walk around with your hand.
Speaker 3: Over your vodka Cruz or whatever it is.
Speaker 2: But then when you get into your thirties, you think,
Speaker 2: I'm way past this as being a possibility.
Speaker 1: This is completely irrelevant what I'm about to say, but
Speaker 1: I'm going to say it on the person I was
Speaker 1: on a date with that drugg me. He was the
Speaker 1: biggest geek, right, I was like, this guy is the
Speaker 1: biggest geek.
Speaker 4: Unassuming but very endearing.
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is it was just
Speaker 1: for the cliche who you think is going to drug you?
Speaker 1: I do want to say to cliche, but who comes
Speaker 1: to mind when you think of someone's going to drug
Speaker 1: you out a nightclub? This person, for me was the
Speaker 1: furthest thing that I would have thought it would have
Speaker 1: happened with. And again, you can never judge a book
Speaker 1: by its cover.
Speaker 3: We know that.
Speaker 2: I'm so grateful that Hugh felt confident enough to come
Speaker 2: out and speak about this. I think it is such
Speaker 2: an important reminder for everyone, not just parents, but for
Speaker 2: anyone listening that you know you have to be so
Speaker 2: conscious that this does happen. It still happens all the time,
Speaker 2: and it is hugely underreported and underrepresented, and I just think,
Speaker 2: you know, putting and shining a light on it is
Speaker 2: like the only way to protect people.
Speaker 4: Totally good on you, Hue. Now you guys know, I've
Speaker 4: been going on and on about this new Stand original
Speaker 4: series poker Face, which I'm truly obsessed with, obsessed at
Speaker 4: the moment. It's so good. It's got the tash Leone
Speaker 4: who's from Orange is the New Black, and essentially the
Speaker 4: character she plays is a blackjack dealer. She can just
Speaker 4: tell everyone's poker face straight.
Speaker 2: I can read what people are going to play and
Speaker 2: what they can you know, what they look like on
Speaker 2: their faces.
Speaker 1: Something's thought that I was good at that, Like I
Speaker 1: always thought I could tell people's poker faces.
Speaker 3: And I also always thought I was a good liar.
Speaker 3: That is such an untruth.
Speaker 2: Since you dated a guy who has, like you know,
Speaker 2: had another life for two years, so I think you're
Speaker 2: particularly bad at it anything.
Speaker 4: He really debunked that's anyway. This character is a human
Speaker 4: lie detector. So it got me thinking, is that a
Speaker 4: real career choice that to human light detectors really exist.
Speaker 4: So what I've done is I've got the best in
Speaker 4: the business. I've got doctor Louise Marla who joins us
Speaker 4: now on the line, the real human light detector.
Speaker 3: Doctor Welcome, Doctor Luise. Welcome.
Speaker 2: Ye PI, guys, how does one become a human light detector?
Speaker 12: It's really a career choice. And I don't know do
Speaker 12: lie detection as a living but I do read body language,
Speaker 12: and I read bodies and I read vocal psychology, and
Speaker 12: I am fascinated about behavior, human behavior. So that's my area,
Speaker 12: my PhD. Human behavior.
Speaker 1: So are you going to tell us before we jump in?
Speaker 1: Because Mitchell set this up Laura, and I'm going to
Speaker 1: tell you a story age. One of us is lying,
Speaker 1: one of us is telling the truth. Are you going
Speaker 1: to tell us before we tell you these stories? What
Speaker 1: you look for so you know, like now are cheating?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't tell you before.
Speaker 4: Now listen, doctor Louise. I'm not one to be dramatic,
Speaker 4: but I'm about to be dramatic. Laura and britt both
Speaker 4: have a story. One is a lie, one is the truth.
Speaker 4: Why don't we kick it off with you Brittain?
Speaker 1: Doctr Luise, Doctor Luise you've been watching Laura's and my
Speaker 1: body language. Who would you like to hear from first.
Speaker 3: Brittany, I'd like to hear yours first.
Speaker 1: So a couple of years back, I was I'm a
Speaker 1: bit of an adventurer, so I was going on an
Speaker 1: adventure and on the other side of the world.
Speaker 3: I found myself deep.
Speaker 1: In the Amazon jungle, believe it or not, and I
Speaker 1: had no food. So I had to catch my food.
Speaker 1: So I was catching pranas and stuff and I had
Speaker 1: to bathe obviously because you laugh, Laura, but you get
Speaker 1: hungry in the Amazon. You get hungry in there, right,
Speaker 1: So I caught some pranas and I was thinking the pranas,
Speaker 1: and then I was really stinky because it's the Amazon.
Speaker 3: It's very hot.
Speaker 1: If you haven't been to the Amazon jungle, it gets
Speaker 1: very humidity is high. So I was bathing in the
Speaker 1: Amazon river and I accidentally got a parasite. It was
Speaker 1: definitely an accident. I've got a parasite that ended up
Speaker 1: living in my liver and I got very sick on
Speaker 1: that Amazon trip.
Speaker 3: That was a real journey.
Speaker 4: All right, before we get your results, Dr Luise, we're
Speaker 4: going to We're going to jump into Laura's story now. So, Laura,
Speaker 4: are you ready?
Speaker 3: Oh? I'm ready?
Speaker 2: Okay, So I also have an adventure story. Mine, however,
Speaker 2: dates back to when I was a little bit younger
Speaker 2: and I lost my virginity in the drama room at school.
Speaker 3: It was year twelve. And it was also not with
Speaker 3: a teacher, just anyone's going to worry.
Speaker 2: It was with a school student and it was on
Speaker 2: lunch break in the drama room. Yeah, it's not my
Speaker 2: finest moment anyway. I wish it was more of an adventure.
Speaker 2: But that's it.
Speaker 4: Well, two very different tactics, both very wild. Yes, Dr Louise,
Speaker 4: hold your judgment quickly, we're going to go to a break.
Speaker 4: When we come back, we'll get the results. But what
Speaker 4: are you thinking. Are you're buying any one more than
Speaker 4: the other?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, So all right back with Doctor Luise Marla
Speaker 4: the Stand original series poker Face now streaming only Onderstand.
Speaker 4: Now we're joined by doctor Lubi's Marla aka the Human
Speaker 4: Lie Detector. It's all inspired by the new Stand original
Speaker 4: series poker Face. I wanted to find out is there
Speaker 4: such thing as a human light detector. In my research,
Speaker 4: I found doctor Luise Britton Laurie. You've both just told
Speaker 4: a very fascinating duo of stories that have happened to
Speaker 4: you in your life, and Doctor Louise is about to
Speaker 4: drop her verdict. Who is telling the truth and who
Speaker 4: was lying? Quickly recap what yours.
Speaker 3: Was, Britt long story short.
Speaker 1: I found myself in the Amazon on an adventure and
Speaker 1: I was I got a parasite because I was in
Speaker 1: the Amazon river and I was eating food from the
Speaker 1: river and it was, Yeah, a pretty chaotic time in
Speaker 1: my life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, mine's also equally as long. I lost my virginity
Speaker 2: in the drama room at school.
Speaker 4: Yours were short. I'm guessing let's get the verdict.
Speaker 3: To be honest, I don't know if I really.
Speaker 4: Recall it that well, Doctor Louise, what are your thoughts?
Speaker 12: Well, you know, Laura reminds me of Kate. Princess Kate.
Speaker 3: Oh why thank you. Nobody who knows me would say that.
Speaker 3: So that's a true compliment.
Speaker 2: How often do you think Princess Kate talks about shagging
Speaker 2: boys and drama rooms?
Speaker 4: Not of it.
Speaker 12: If she did, she would talk about it as clearly
Speaker 12: and as.
Speaker 3: Convincingly as you did. I found that highly believable.
Speaker 12: And consistent in the way that you told it. Your
Speaker 12: eye movement, you will flow of air in your voice,
Speaker 12: your consistency with your gestures, everything. But it could be
Speaker 12: that you're a massive psychopath. And the way that it goes.
Speaker 12: I have to say, it was a highly believable story,
Speaker 12: everything about it. Brittany wriggles psychoedelicy on a plate and so.
Speaker 3: And funnily enough, you're telling that story.
Speaker 12: And when you told that story, you changed your behavior
Speaker 12: and suddenly you weren't wriggling. And also when you're speaking
Speaker 12: normally not looking down bottom left, and during the story
Speaker 12: you were looking down bottom left. Haven't said that your
Speaker 12: story was so outrageous. I mean everything you did, Brittany
Speaker 12: just said, lie, liar pants on.
Speaker 8: Everything.
Speaker 12: It was your inconsistency, your change of behavior from what
Speaker 12: you did before that that made me say that wasn't
Speaker 12: a truth. But then again, you know that you're trying to,
Speaker 12: you know, look like a truth or looked like a
Speaker 12: lion deceived, So who knows?
Speaker 6: Not a pure art.
Speaker 4: All right, the human light detector is looking in Princess Kate. Ladies,
Speaker 4: it's time to reveal who was telling the lie.
Speaker 3: I am a psychopath and I am. I am a
Speaker 3: brilliant actor.
Speaker 1: I am sorry, Louise, but I'm a trained actor. I
Speaker 1: wriggled on purpose. I did the eye contact on purpose.
Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, I'm going to make
Speaker 1: her think that I'm thinking of this story as I go.
Speaker 3: No, my mom's going to hate to hear this. But
Speaker 3: it was. It was in her house and in my bedroom.
Speaker 3: That's where it was.
Speaker 1: Not arms And I really did camp in the Amazon
Speaker 1: jungle and get a live a parasite and get sick
Speaker 1: for years home.
Speaker 3: Kids do not do that at home.
Speaker 12: Oh well, I think that's lots of fun and Princess Kate,
Speaker 12: there is definitely.
Speaker 4: Thank you, doctor Luise. You can get it now on
Speaker 4: stan It's the original series poker Face now streaming. That
Speaker 4: is us done for the day. Everyone, you liar, We've
Speaker 4: got Kate Middleton and a brilliant liar. What a show.
Speaker 3: You're amazing.
Speaker 4: Thank you Now the world has gone absolutely maths mad.
Speaker 4: It's back on on Channel nine. Laurie, you're officially you've
Speaker 4: got the You've got the bug you love married at
Speaker 4: first sight?
Speaker 2: Oh like you've lost me. Every night of the week
Speaker 2: when it's on that's it's my favorite show.
Speaker 3: It's good because it's.
Speaker 2: All the things that you shouldn't do in a relationship.
Speaker 2: But we have today John Aiken joining us. He is
Speaker 2: one of the relationship experts who's on the show, who
Speaker 2: matches the couples and handholds them throughout the whole experiment.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have so many questions. John, Welcome, Welcome to
Speaker 3: the pickup.
Speaker 8: Oh, it's good to be here. And look, Laura, I'm
Speaker 8: so glad that you've come out as a maths progic.
Speaker 3: Disgusting.
Speaker 8: But Fritz Britt, you and I need to talk. I
Speaker 8: can't believe you haven't watched it.
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't watch it because I know I'm going
Speaker 1: to get hooked into it. But I do keep up
Speaker 1: with what's happening, Like I always go the next day
Speaker 1: and read all the news articles and I get the
Speaker 1: lowdown from Laura because I am interested in I love relationships.
Speaker 3: We have a relationship podcast.
Speaker 1: But I just know I'm going to lose hours of
Speaker 1: my life every night if I allow myself to well,
Speaker 1: it does tend.
Speaker 8: To suck you in, and I think there are a
Speaker 8: lot of ingredients in maths that makes it so compelling.
Speaker 8: I mean, it is a show that kind of appeals
Speaker 8: to both singles and couples, and I think it's also
Speaker 8: based on a fairy tale. And you know, the experts,
Speaker 8: we sort of get in there and really try and
Speaker 8: hold them too account.
Speaker 2: Well, John, we know that there's like tens of thousands
Speaker 2: of people who apply for this show, and you have
Speaker 2: the job of helping to match people together. How do
Speaker 2: you go about actually matching these couples? Like some people
Speaker 2: seem particularly not well matched.
Speaker 3: Come as no surprise. I think that's quite a diplomatic
Speaker 3: way of saying, what were you.
Speaker 8: John, That's what I'm getting from that question. Absolutely. Look,
Speaker 8: people do look at it and are often confused. The
Speaker 8: bottom line, it's a quite exhausting two month process. We
Speaker 8: give them tests around things like communication, the values, We
Speaker 8: kind of put them together, and then sit back and
Speaker 8: watch like everybody else, to see whether or not they
Speaker 8: can fall in love as complete strangers. We are matching
Speaker 8: them with the eyes on them getting over the line
Speaker 8: and finding the fairy tale. But in saying that, there
Speaker 8: are a lot of things that are uncontrollable, like chemistry,
Speaker 8: they can be difficult to date. Let's be honest, and
Speaker 8: so when we put them together, a number of them
Speaker 8: simply do not work out.
Speaker 1: Well, there's one of the women that I've seen, and
Speaker 1: I've seen her everywhere actually since the show aired.
Speaker 3: That's Melissa, the self.
Speaker 1: Proclaimed freak in the sheets. She loves get freaky and
Speaker 1: I'm all about it, and I think there are everyone
Speaker 1: in a strategy is like singing her praises right now?
Speaker 3: How important do you think this matched.
Speaker 1: Intimacy and matched chemistry and sexual exploration? How important is
Speaker 1: that in a relationship?
Speaker 8: Yes, well, that's a very good question that I think
Speaker 8: a lot of people are going to be asking as
Speaker 8: they watch this season. You know, how you talk about sex,
Speaker 8: who initiates sex? How much is enough in a relationship
Speaker 8: to keep it healthy? All of that starts to become
Speaker 8: quite a conversation topic, not just between the couple, but
Speaker 8: also in the group. For me, sex is important because
Speaker 8: it's a good gauge of a temperature in a relationship.
Speaker 8: You know, if you're having it regularly, then you know
Speaker 8: you're connecting and you're reaffirming to your partner that they're special.
Speaker 8: When it's not around, you know, it can start to
Speaker 8: create a distance. It's not the only thing. You've got
Speaker 8: to have a lot more than just sex. But I
Speaker 8: do think it's got to be made a priority in
Speaker 8: a relationship for it to keep it connection going well.
Speaker 4: John, you mentioned distance there, and that's something that I
Speaker 4: wanted to bring up and lack of sex. I mean
Speaker 4: those things go hand in hand. How very arm Britney
Speaker 4: Hockey has just entered into a long distance relationship. So
Speaker 4: not only is she not getting it daily, which I'm
Speaker 4: sure she'd love to do, but her new boyfriend is
Speaker 4: thousands of kilometers away living in Scotland. So do you
Speaker 4: have any advice for couples that are newly long distance
Speaker 4: and can they last?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 8: They can last. But I think what you've got to do, Britt,
Speaker 8: is to make sure that you have a number of
Speaker 8: things in place outside of that. Britt, what I would
Speaker 8: say is that you've got to know the time zones.
Speaker 8: You've got to be constantly contacting them at regular parts
Speaker 8: of the day. You also need to see them face
Speaker 8: to face on a regular basis, so you fly to
Speaker 8: him or he flies to you. So anytime you have
Speaker 8: a big calendar, you've got to really make it special.
Speaker 8: But I think, ultimately, Brett, if it's going to work.
Speaker 8: Then you two have to have an end date in
Speaker 8: mind where he's either going to come and live here
Speaker 8: or you're going.
Speaker 7: To live there.
Speaker 1: He's going to be listening to this, so it's probably
Speaker 1: pretty important that he's like consistently buying your presents and
Speaker 1: stuff as well.
Speaker 3: Is that right?
Speaker 4: You don't have to agree with your expert.
Speaker 2: John really is a hijack thesis, a therapy session for herself.
Speaker 3: I'm very sorry.
Speaker 2: About that, but we are all I mean, well, actually
Speaker 2: I won't speak on half of group.
Speaker 3: I am thoroughly enjoying that. And we can't wait to
Speaker 3: see what I'm called this season.
Speaker 4: All right, it's all going down. I'm married at First
Speaker 4: Sight on Channel Mine. Give it a watch. John ak
Speaker 4: and there one of the experts. Thank you, buddy,
