Speaker 1: Laura, come on inday.
Speaker 2: Hello, Hello, do you hear? Hear this?
Speaker 3: And every time it comes on, I'm like, we are
Speaker 3: And then I'm still partying in my head.
Speaker 2: Partying in your head. You're definitely not partying. You realize
Speaker 2: we are here, is what I wanted to say.
Speaker 4: And we're here for chemist Warehouse heading today, great savings
Speaker 4: every day.
Speaker 5: As I need to apologize in advance to both of
Speaker 5: you from my voice today, how I sound. I'm trying
Speaker 5: to really bring the energy, but I'm quite nasily, got
Speaker 5: a bit of a head cold.
Speaker 2: Why did you come in dedicated to the work.
Speaker 5: I am dedicated to my craft.
Speaker 2: Just wouldn't have flown last year or during COVID. We
Speaker 2: would have kept you in zoom.
Speaker 5: Of course it did happen. Remember I got COVID and
Speaker 5: I had to zoom into radio.
Speaker 2: How times have changed and now they're like, just come
Speaker 2: on in, you'll be fine.
Speaker 4: We kiss on the cheek when you walked in. We
Speaker 4: quickly made out all the kiss sessions.
Speaker 3: He's spat on my cake on Monday and then I
Speaker 3: ate it and so now I know the cold's coming
Speaker 3: for me too.
Speaker 5: I wasn't sick when I spat on it because also
Speaker 5: without context, people think I was spitting on your cake.
Speaker 2: And I was part of the show.
Speaker 4: Just for content, great content in retrospect, should we have
Speaker 4: done it.
Speaker 2: We'll do anything for content.
Speaker 5: Literally anything speaking of talking about literal or anything. I
Speaker 5: want to tell you about an addiction.
Speaker 4: Wow, you are sick. It's gone to that sickness has
Speaker 4: gone north. That is the most generic segue ever.
Speaker 6: I think guys didn't bring attention to it would have
Speaker 6: been stuff. There's a guy that I saw that a
Speaker 6: long story short has a wild addiction to something, and
Speaker 6: the lengths he has gone to to break this.
Speaker 5: Addiction is something to be apported. Okay, maybe I don't know,
Speaker 5: maybe it's supported, but I'm going to tell you about it.
Speaker 4: All right. That's on the way the pickup around the
Speaker 4: country for your Wednesday. A welcome happen to be here Wednesday.
Speaker 4: Here on the pickup Brent, Laura and Mitch Hey heading
Speaker 4: to Chemis's Warehouse. If you're stuck on a Mother's Day gift,
Speaker 4: They've got you covered with big brain and fragrances at
Speaker 4: the lowest prices. Chemist Warehouse got great savings every day.
Speaker 5: Okay, you've just made me think of something. When you
Speaker 5: said head in, I want to speak about it.
Speaker 2: A man in.
Speaker 5: Turkey's head, believe it or not. That's where we're going today.
Speaker 4: Man in Turkey head and all the way.
Speaker 5: His head isn't in a turkey, he's in the country.
Speaker 5: There is a man that lives in Turkey and he
Speaker 5: is wildly addicted to cigarettes. Two packets plus a day
Speaker 5: is what he said. His father had lung cancer and
Speaker 5: he didn't want to do that. He didn't want to
Speaker 5: die from lung cancer, but he was so addicted he
Speaker 5: couldn't stop. So he has come up with a very
Speaker 5: innovative way of quitting smoking. I want to know what
Speaker 5: you think about it. He got inspiration from like a
Speaker 5: football helmet, you know, the big American football helmets, and
Speaker 5: they go across the mouth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the cage like a cage.
Speaker 5: So he's made his own cage. He got one hundred
Speaker 5: and thirty feet of wire, copper wire and wrapped it
Speaker 5: around his head only millimeters a partner. I've got a picture.
Speaker 5: You have a look. There is a wire cage that
Speaker 5: goes all around his head, his eyes, his face. There
Speaker 5: is and he's put a padlock on it. There's no
Speaker 5: way in or out of this cage, and it's just
Speaker 5: around his neck, his face, his head, so he's walking
Speaker 5: around almost like a sea through bowling ball is on his.
Speaker 2: Head where he made it himself.
Speaker 4: It's very goody that sell well.
Speaker 5: Absolutely trademark that immediately. But it's not only you can
Speaker 5: not get a cigarette through it, but he can only
Speaker 5: eat like a bird like he's got to eat these
Speaker 5: little crumbs. They feed him crumbs his family crumbs through
Speaker 5: the cage, tiny SIPs and water, and he does. He
Speaker 5: goes to work in it. He lives twenty four hours
Speaker 5: a day in it. He only takes it off when
Speaker 5: he needs a proper meal. And he can only get
Speaker 5: it off when his family unlock it with the key.
Speaker 3: So he has given somebody else full access to keep
Speaker 3: his head locked on a lot of trust to a
Speaker 3: lot of trust.
Speaker 2: If you lost the key, ura loses everything.
Speaker 5: I would never give you my head cage key.
Speaker 2: Nah, don't do you know what?
Speaker 3: I lock my phone sometimes into those little lock boxes
Speaker 3: at nighttime? Do you just yeah to just get like
Speaker 3: an out because I'm very addicted to my phone. You actually, wow,
Speaker 3: you're all looking at me like I'm crazy. I don't
Speaker 3: put my head in a metal cage.
Speaker 4: What did you go to a bank and go, can
Speaker 4: I have one of those lock boxes for my phone?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: I have one of those little lock boxes that's got
Speaker 2: a timer on it.
Speaker 3: You put your phone inside it and then you can't
Speaker 3: get your phone out until the time that you've put on.
Speaker 2: There it expires, and then wow, that's really cool. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean he.
Speaker 3: Should have just done this for his head, and then
Speaker 3: he could have pre programmed it and didn't have to
Speaker 3: give a key to He put his head.
Speaker 4: In an electronically timed box.
Speaker 5: But what happens when you really really hungry, or what
Speaker 5: happens if you're sick and you need to vomit and
Speaker 5: you don't have the key and it comes, or it's
Speaker 5: like when you push something down and drain, like spaghetti
Speaker 5: or something.
Speaker 2: It'd be like vomiting through a fly screen.
Speaker 4: But do you know what he looks like? You know
Speaker 4: those roast turkeys you get at the grocery store that
Speaker 4: have the netting around them. Because he's ball, that's what
Speaker 4: his head looks like. He looks like a rose.
Speaker 5: He looked like a serial kill. If I saw that
Speaker 5: walking down the street, I would run onto the other side, okay,
Speaker 5: I would run away.
Speaker 3: Very embarrassing but very very effective. And also some people
Speaker 3: have to go and take shampicks for smoking. Shampis is
Speaker 3: like the It's like an addiction drug that you can
Speaker 3: take and it makes you go absolutely loopy.
Speaker 2: That's one of the side effects ways is that you
Speaker 2: have psychosis.
Speaker 4: Did he quit?
Speaker 2: Well, he done it.
Speaker 5: It's actually it's happening live like the world's watching on
Speaker 5: to Cage Man live.
Speaker 4: Was there a GoPro trapped into that cave?
Speaker 5: Well, we're being updated live, but he currently is down
Speaker 5: to zero, but that's not the cage.
Speaker 2: Is still on his head. Surprising.
Speaker 3: I think the real test is going to come when
Speaker 3: the cage is removed and life goes back to normal.
Speaker 5: Is he going to smoke again? But I'm intrigued watch
Speaker 5: this space.
Speaker 4: That's crazy curbed his addiction. All right, guys, next on
Speaker 4: the show. You know, I'm the king of TikTok. I
Speaker 4: spend all my time, so I love that thing. Literally
Speaker 4: your VP, I love it and a lot. I can
Speaker 4: watch a lot. But a worrying trend that I've seen
Speaker 4: in this country where kids steal family pets from front
Speaker 4: yards from backyards live stream it on TikTok is going viral.
Speaker 4: It's actually happening in this country. You won't believe the audio.
Speaker 4: I've got it for your plate, for your next at
Speaker 4: the pickup. It's the pickup, Laura and mitchire for your
Speaker 4: Wednesday heading to chemist warehouse today, great savings every day, guys.
Speaker 4: I need to bring something to the show that has
Speaker 4: actually upset me greatly. And we're all across this because
Speaker 4: we were talking about it before the show started. But
Speaker 4: I was scrolling through TikTok. I'm like the resident TikTok lover.
Speaker 4: I was scrolling the other night. This story has since
Speaker 4: made it to the news. I came across a video
Speaker 4: which I thought was a prank. I thought it was
Speaker 4: a sketch. I didn't think it was real. It was
Speaker 4: these kids, This is happening in Australia. This is happening
Speaker 4: in Queensland, seemingly kidnapping a cat, a beautiful ginger cat,
Speaker 4: from someone's house, filming it, putting it on TikTok. They're
Speaker 4: laughing hysterically. You know, there's this a beautiful cat at
Speaker 4: someone's house. I know you guys haven't seen the video
Speaker 4: because it's since been deleted, but it is. It's graphic.
Speaker 4: I mean, these kids are grabbing Garfield the cat, a
Speaker 4: little ginger cat, and they are stuffing it in the
Speaker 4: back of a car. There's a girl in the car
Speaker 4: and she's screaming, going, you gotta squash it, you gotta
Speaker 4: squash it, pull it in the car. It made me
Speaker 4: sick to my stomach. It's made the news. Have a
Speaker 4: listen to this.
Speaker 3: Teenagers seen here snatching Garfield from his home in the
Speaker 3: dead of night and throwing him in the boot of
Speaker 3: a getaway car.
Speaker 2: No, you're gonna squish it. You're gonna squish it.
Speaker 4: A bunch of kids targeting an innocent animal.
Speaker 5: What the fuck?
Speaker 4: The worst part was these kids were boasting about it
Speaker 4: as if it was an achievement on their TikTok. They've
Speaker 4: since posted another video bragging that they've made the news.
Speaker 4: They're so happy that they've made the news. To this
Speaker 4: moment that we go to air the cat, Garfield is
Speaker 4: still missing. No one knows where it is.
Speaker 3: This is I mean, it's viscerally disgusting, right. But the
Speaker 3: thing that makes me so angry about this and so like,
Speaker 3: I don't even have the right words for it It's like,
Speaker 3: what where is the line in terms of creating content
Speaker 3: in the hope that it's gonna go viral?
Speaker 5: And I think that's animal cruelty. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, But there's kids out there who are so social
Speaker 3: media obsessed that they will do things in order to
Speaker 3: go viral, regardless of how that affects people or how
Speaker 3: that what if that has on animals, But they're doing
Speaker 3: it for a viral video. They're doing it to get
Speaker 3: lives and views on TikTok.
Speaker 5: These kids need to be found and charged. This is
Speaker 5: such disgusting and disturbing behavior. And the fact is, if
Speaker 5: you have posted something on TikTok, that's how I'm on it.
Speaker 5: If you've posted something on TikTok, you have an account,
Speaker 5: we can find you. Why have the police not tracked
Speaker 5: them down and found them yet? Why has the cat
Speaker 5: not been returned? Why have the kids not been charged?
Speaker 5: And I don't care. If you're thirteen, you know what
Speaker 5: you were doing is wrong.
Speaker 4: If you are a.
Speaker 5: Teenager, you know that's stealing someone's pace from the house,
Speaker 5: they'd be on it. And well, where is it? The
Speaker 5: cat hasn't been returned yet. I don't know if they
Speaker 5: found it.
Speaker 4: That have to be looking into it. The worst part
Speaker 4: is is kids are gloating allegedly. Earlier in the week,
Speaker 4: the same account posted a video of saying I love
Speaker 4: kidnapping cats. God, I love kidnapping cats.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and watch this space.
Speaker 2: They're doing it for cloud.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys remember this, but only
Speaker 3: last month this also happened in Queensland. There was a
Speaker 3: little girl who was kidnapped. She's thirteen years old. She's
Speaker 3: kidnaped by her friends. She was tortured in a house
Speaker 3: and they posted it live on TikTok And for me,
Speaker 3: it's like, why is wanting to go viral? How has
Speaker 3: that become such an ambition for children? And the problem
Speaker 3: is is kids who are thirteen years old, they don't
Speaker 3: necessarily understand the consequences.
Speaker 2: Of what they're doing.
Speaker 5: Now I call in bullshit on that.
Speaker 3: No, because the one is to be famous, right, the
Speaker 3: one is to push it and then they get carried away.
Speaker 3: They don't understand the digital footprint that they're creating.
Speaker 2: They can't.
Speaker 5: You I'm going to disagree. If you're thirteen, you know
Speaker 5: kidnapping and torturing a friend is wrong. You animals is wrong.
Speaker 3: Look I'm not saying they don't know what's wrong, but
Speaker 3: what I'm saying is that that social media is warping
Speaker 3: people's perception around what is ethical though, and the want
Speaker 3: to be viral trumps it, and that's really really scary.
Speaker 5: Cool, Let's start charging them and arresting them then, because well,
Speaker 5: if we keep applauding them and nothing happens and we
Speaker 5: part them, we're going to slap on the wrists and say, oh,
Speaker 5: don't kidnap and torture that person again, don't kidnap this
Speaker 5: animal again. Of course they're going to keep doing it.
Speaker 4: All I'm with you. We also know what Harming animals
Speaker 4: is the first step of I mean, we've all seen
Speaker 4: the documentaries. Harming animals is the first step and a
Speaker 4: very slippery slope of someone who is not well. So
Speaker 4: that's horrendous.
Speaker 3: But also what's happening in their schools? Are they going
Speaker 3: to school and because they have gone viral, are they
Speaker 3: being seen as being you know, a hero because they've
Speaker 3: had this vile TikTok? So yeah, they might be getting
Speaker 3: publicly into trouble, but are they still amongst their peers
Speaker 3: being seen as being cool for having a viral TikTok.
Speaker 2: That's the big question. I heard it here.
Speaker 5: First, it's not cool to kidnap animals, to kidnap people
Speaker 5: for animal cruelty, So pull your head out right now.
Speaker 5: Someone find these kids and charge them all.
Speaker 4: So, if you're in Australia and you've got a little
Speaker 4: cat that loves to just sun bake out the front, seriously, like,
Speaker 4: just bring it in, bring them in because there's widos
Speaker 4: out there. Updates on Garfield the cat when we get it.
Speaker 4: Hope Garfield's okay?
Speaker 3: So do I Well, I mean, lastly, if you're someone
Speaker 3: who knows anything at all, go to the police.
Speaker 4: Good call.
Speaker 3: Well, look, coming up next, I want to there's something
Speaker 3: that my mother in law, who's delightful, but there's something
Speaker 3: that she's been doing that is very strange and I
Speaker 3: want to know whether you guys think the same.
Speaker 4: All right, you're going to that's next. At the pickup,
Speaker 4: it's the Pickup Wednesday AVO with Britt, Laura and Mitch. Here.
Speaker 4: If you're stuck on a Mother's Day gift, chemist Warehouse
Speaker 4: has you covered with big brand fragrances at the lowest prices.
Speaker 4: Chemist Warehouse have got great savings every day.
Speaker 2: Speaking of mother's I won the mother in law jackpot.
Speaker 2: I truly did.
Speaker 3: Matt's mum is an incredible dream come true and I
Speaker 3: love her so much. But look, that's not what I
Speaker 3: want to tell you about. We recently went on a
Speaker 3: family holiday to Rockhampton and it was a beautiful holiday.
Speaker 3: It was all of Matt's side of the family, the kids,
Speaker 3: his sister, her kids, Matt's brothers, and Matt's mum.
Speaker 4: The big trip with the family.
Speaker 3: It was a very big trip now considering that there
Speaker 3: was quite a few of us in the house. Two
Speaker 3: weeks before we went away, Matt's mum sent an email saying,
Speaker 3: email very formal, saying, I need to know everyone's shopping
Speaker 3: order because we need to place an order before we
Speaker 3: get to Rockampton because apparently there's no grocery stores there.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, I like that.
Speaker 5: A woman that thinks ahead prepped.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's very very food orientated, and I understand as
Speaker 3: the mom, as the nana, she always wants to make
Speaker 3: sure that like the meals are ready and that everyone
Speaker 3: knows what they're going what they're gonna eat, that no
Speaker 3: one goes hungry.
Speaker 4: She was a single mum raising a whole bunch of kids.
Speaker 3: Ye have five children, you know, so she always had
Speaker 3: to be planned with what meals were gonna pop up,
Speaker 3: because you know, you just she got four boys.
Speaker 2: You don't want four hungry boys.
Speaker 4: That's a lot of food.
Speaker 3: So we arrive at our holiday destination and our luggage
Speaker 3: has gone missing. But Ellie starts to freak out. She's
Speaker 3: so upset because she has some things in her luggage
Speaker 3: that she needs. They need to be refrigerated. It turns
Speaker 3: out that she has not only has she done the
Speaker 3: pre ordered packing and the pre ordered ordering of our food,
Speaker 3: she's also packed in her suitcase frozen meals for every
Speaker 3: single dinner. She packed a frozen lasagna, She packed a
Speaker 3: seven chicken fillo pastries that were frozen.
Speaker 2: She packed a frozen bolonnaise. She packed frozen kishas.
Speaker 5: Do you mean frozen? Is in like the pre made
Speaker 5: meals from the frozen section or she makes you crazy?
Speaker 3: She did full holiday meal prep and frozen in her
Speaker 3: luggage and then luggage onto the plute dream boat.
Speaker 2: Is it is the weirdest thing I've ever heard. She
Speaker 2: packed a frozen bolonnaise in her luggage with her hair dryer.
Speaker 5: Think of how I think of how often you're at
Speaker 5: your new accommodation and you're like, man, I feel like
Speaker 5: a lasagna right now.
Speaker 2: She's got it.
Speaker 4: Never I've never once sat in a tropical holiday destination
Speaker 4: and thought, you know what, I love my Nana's mussaka.
Speaker 4: I want to go out, and I want to go
Speaker 4: and get a beautiful meal, because that is part of
Speaker 4: the holiday, the experience.
Speaker 5: Of going out.
Speaker 3: I also want the spontaneity. I don't know if I
Speaker 3: want to have a bolonnaise on a Sunday night. I
Speaker 3: want to maybe order tie on Uber Eats.
Speaker 5: I think it's more. I don't think she's gonna sit
Speaker 5: you down and tie you to the chair and say
Speaker 5: I made this, eat it. But it's probably more of
Speaker 5: a backup in case anyone's extra hungry or a snack.
Speaker 2: Or but it's meal prep. We can't leave a frozen
Speaker 2: lasagna in rock Hampton. Course you can't. So no, it
Speaker 2: was like, this is these are the meals. Friday we're
Speaker 2: eating bolonnaise. Saturday we're having the Keisha's. There's a part
Speaker 2: of me that was like, I'm sorry, why, why did
Speaker 2: why are we doing this?
Speaker 4: Where does Matt sit on this because he's matt like, hey,
Speaker 4: let me get the meat bag. Like, is it something
Speaker 4: they bring on every trip to the kids know that
Speaker 4: she does this? Is he like judging you for thinking
Speaker 4: it's odd?
Speaker 3: I think it has so normal to them that I mean,
Speaker 3: he thinks it's endearingly crazy, but it's also completely normal.
Speaker 2: It's what they do on every family holiday.
Speaker 5: It's okay because it's so laced with good intention. That's
Speaker 5: why I think it's she wants everyone to be fed.
Speaker 5: She doesn't want anyone to panic. She wants them to
Speaker 5: have a good, hearty, home cooked meal. It's a bit strange,
Speaker 5: just doesn't let you go out at all and you
Speaker 5: have to sit down and have every meal in that
Speaker 5: she's cooked. But I love the intention behind it. Also,
Speaker 5: maybe she was trying. It's economically bad times, it's hard times.
Speaker 5: Maybe she's trying to save money for everyone.
Speaker 4: Are you serious? Oh babe, welcome to.
Speaker 2: The everyone goes to Hawaii.
Speaker 4: Did you bring the sunscreen?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Bring the goggles of course.
Speaker 2: What about the lasagna? Got it?
Speaker 4: Do you have the beef, pork and young Yeah?
Speaker 1: Good, so I do.
Speaker 2: Stupid.
Speaker 4: I'm so sorry, but it's so stupid.
Speaker 3: I think that's some things freeze better than others. Flying
Speaker 3: within a frozen cash in your suitcase, it's probably not.
Speaker 4: Pete's caught on thirteen one o six five. Pete, where
Speaker 4: do you stand on this?
Speaker 1: You've got to be kidding me? Is this lady a joke?
Speaker 1: Or what she's going on holidays and what she's taking
Speaker 1: frozen meals with her?
Speaker 4: Peat?
Speaker 2: She's delightful, she's my mother in law. Don't talk about
Speaker 2: it like that. You started the conversation.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but what like?
Speaker 4: I mean?
Speaker 1: That's tight as of Fisher's mom. When you do something
Speaker 1: like that, you're going out. You're going out for a
Speaker 1: freaking holiday. You don't want frozen meal.
Speaker 4: It's a beautiful war.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry against everyone in this room and you, Pete. Ellie,
Speaker 5: you're doing a wonderful job. I think you're looking after
Speaker 5: your family. I'm pro Ellie. Ellie is to beef mong
Speaker 5: and Young or whatever it's.
Speaker 4: Called beef mong and Ya.
Speaker 2: Well you can tell it, Jesus.
Speaker 3: It has never ever meal prepped or brought a frozen
Speaker 3: mill anywhere beef mong and Young never.
Speaker 4: That's so good, all right, we love you Ellie here
Speaker 4: at the pickup, but you know go to subway. For
Speaker 4: God's sake, Ellie, I love you, Will and Woody are
Speaker 4: up next to drive you home. We will see you
Speaker 4: tomorrow everyone, so say you guys,
