Speaker 1: Come on.
Speaker 2: Fun day, everybody.
Speaker 3: Welcome back again, everybody.
Speaker 2: I am feeling so energized.
Speaker 3: I am ready to have the best week of my life.
Speaker 3: What happened? I don't know, really, Actually no, I do know.
Speaker 4: I went away for one night out of I escaped
Speaker 4: like the city, went to a really wholesome weekend, and
Speaker 4: I've decided I think I want to be a trad wife.
Speaker 3: I don't think you do. I think you just want
Speaker 3: to live in the country. I don't think you want
Speaker 3: to be a trad wife. The trad wife is like
Speaker 3: it's trending on TikTok and Instagram.
Speaker 4: It's like the people that dedicate their life to being
Speaker 4: really like old school wholesome mothers, where they cook.
Speaker 3: Everything by hand. The bread is by hand, and.
Speaker 2: They would do the washing.
Speaker 5: Let me tell you, Britt does not want to be
Speaker 5: a tradwife. A trad wife is like a Mormon family
Speaker 5: that's at home that's cooking and serving their husbandey and
Speaker 5: collecting eggs and then making sour.
Speaker 2: Dough like Nara Smith. Is that who it was from?
Speaker 5: Tiktoky Ballerina Farm? Anyone know that one?
Speaker 3: Well, now it's Britney's farm.
Speaker 2: So what did you do this one.
Speaker 4: I went away for a little stay and it was
Speaker 4: like in the bush, it was like nothing around. There
Speaker 4: was just like streams going past free range sixteen free
Speaker 4: range chickens. And we made our own bread and baked
Speaker 4: our bread, and whilst it was cooling, we went out
Speaker 4: to get the fresh eggs that were still warm from
Speaker 4: the chook's butt. Then we cooked those on. We got
Speaker 4: our own honey from the bee hive, and I just
Speaker 4: realized that I think I was made for that line.
Speaker 2: And you got your phone out and posted it all
Speaker 2: to Instagram.
Speaker 5: And that's that's what tradwives do exactly, that's identical.
Speaker 2: That's now.
Speaker 5: You just need seven children and you'll be thoroughly well
Speaker 5: into the trad right wife territory.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 3: Then I came home and had a frozen meal for dinner,
Speaker 3: and I was like, that's not for me.
Speaker 1: No, definitely not all right, Welcome to the show everyone,
Speaker 1: I atle bit different vibe with tradwife Brittany today.
Speaker 2: Joining us today. I can't of our times?
Speaker 1: That is Tina Arena banger?
Speaker 3: Is this song?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: The only thing is going to make it more of
Speaker 3: a banger is doing it again. A brand new version
Speaker 3: of it.
Speaker 2: This has changed, but listen, it's a little different. It's
Speaker 2: a remix for the thirtieth anniversary.
Speaker 1: Tina will tell us all about it. She's coming up next.
Speaker 1: Pick Up put Down is on the way as well.
Speaker 1: All the big discussion points of the weekend. Girls, you
Speaker 1: need to decide if we keep talking about them or not.
Speaker 1: And ray Gun. The Raygun conversation has found its way
Speaker 1: back to mainstream media. She's done a bit of press
Speaker 1: of the weekend. It's got people talking. Oh wait, that's
Speaker 1: next on the pickup. Now, we know you were hanging
Speaker 1: out with your friends this weekend. You had dinner with
Speaker 1: your pals and all the discussion points at dinner.
Speaker 3: Brittany was hanging out with some chickens.
Speaker 1: Brittany was with chickens eating bread and discussions were being had.
Speaker 1: That's why every Monday on the show, we did It
Speaker 1: chick Can't pick Up, put Down Britain Laura are presented
Speaker 1: with a news story from the weekend. They decide whether
Speaker 1: or not it's worthy of being spoken about into the
Speaker 1: week or whether we put it down and never speak
Speaker 1: at it again.
Speaker 2: Are we ready, ladies? Lots of news have you got
Speaker 2: for us? Mis Jury pick up, put down.
Speaker 1: Sia Sharona calling out male celebrities joking about self defense.
Speaker 3: I'm not across this story?
Speaker 6: What is it?
Speaker 1: Si Sharona, and Irish actress she's been nominated for Oscars,
Speaker 1: was on The Graham Norton Show where she called out
Speaker 1: male celebs on the couch who were joking about self defense.
Speaker 1: They were flippantly saying how easy self defense is, to
Speaker 1: which then she said, well, yeah, I'm in hilarious.
Speaker 2: You're not a woman. Haven't listened to the moment. It's
Speaker 2: going very viral. Who's actually going to think about that?
Speaker 1: Though?
Speaker 3: Someone at text me I'm.
Speaker 2: Not going to go phone. That's a very good point.
Speaker 6: I like girls have to think about all the time,
Speaker 6: am I right? Ladies?
Speaker 4: And ovation it is the privilege that that shows the
Speaker 4: men joking and laughing that they've never had to think
Speaker 4: about that in their life.
Speaker 3: We think about it every time we leave the house.
Speaker 5: I had this conversation with my husband recently and I
Speaker 5: was like, you will never know what it's like to
Speaker 5: walk out of a shopping center and put your keys
Speaker 5: in your hand with the intention of using them as
Speaker 5: a joust to stab someone with. If someone jumps out
Speaker 5: or like to like, you know, yeah with like obviously
Speaker 5: it's not gonna work. It's not a great defense. But
Speaker 5: I think every female out there has at some point
Speaker 5: been like, Okay, what do I have? I'm going to
Speaker 5: hold my keys like it's a weapon, just in case
Speaker 5: something happens.
Speaker 4: And pulling out walking with your phone always because you
Speaker 4: either want to look like you're talking to someone, so
Speaker 4: don't don't attack me now I'm on the phone to someone.
Speaker 2: It's what the men were saying. They would never think
Speaker 2: to pull out their phone.
Speaker 5: It must be nice to live in a world where
Speaker 5: you never have to think about those things.
Speaker 3: And that's exactly what this proves.
Speaker 2: All right, pick up, put down?
Speaker 1: Timothy Chalomy crashing his own lookalike competition in New York City.
Speaker 4: What pick it up?
Speaker 6: I love this?
Speaker 3: Pick it up?
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a photo in front of you. Girls, have
Speaker 2: a look.
Speaker 1: There's an annual Timothy challamey look like competition in New
Speaker 1: York where men that are skinny, white with a raggedy
Speaker 1: hair a real pubic mustache all join together in a
Speaker 1: New York park and the prize is fifty dollars for
Speaker 1: the most how a resemblance to Timothy Shalla Maye and
Speaker 1: Timothy Today turned up at the event.
Speaker 3: But imagine if it turned up and didn't win. Bitch,
Speaker 3: you sounded like you didn't know a lot about this.
Speaker 3: What do you mean You've been like, what's going on here?
Speaker 2: Did you?
Speaker 3: How long has it been going on for?
Speaker 1: How much?
Speaker 3: Do they win?
Speaker 4: Oka?
Speaker 1: Can I just say you'll never proved I'm the most
Speaker 1: prepared person on this show.
Speaker 2: You are?
Speaker 3: Laurs just requestioned everything you already said.
Speaker 2: What's okay? I guess we were kind of on a
Speaker 2: hating man the start of.
Speaker 3: Okay you know so much?
Speaker 2: What was his name?
Speaker 3: Have you ever had to hold your keys?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 2: I'm gay? You do you want to go into that nuance?
Speaker 3: Good point? Anything else?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I haven't read the story, all right? Pick up?
Speaker 2: Put down? Dressing as ray Gun from the Olympics for Halloween?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 1: Pick it up? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Pick it up?
Speaker 3: We can talk about it.
Speaker 4: Well, Halloween costumes these days, they don't refer to something
Speaker 4: that's just scary, like anyone famous can be dressed up
Speaker 4: as Halloween.
Speaker 1: Yeah, ray Gun was the horrific Olympics breakdown hopping like
Speaker 1: a kangaroo.
Speaker 3: Which, to be fair, was particularly scary.
Speaker 2: It was frightening, horrifying.
Speaker 1: She did a feature in I Believe Stellar magazine over
Speaker 1: the weekend and she said that if she reckons, if
Speaker 1: she was a man, she would have been given the
Speaker 1: Alarican title, and that more people would have rallied around
Speaker 1: her performance at the Olympics, and that people brought her
Speaker 1: down because she was a woman.
Speaker 3: No, I don't know if I agree with that. I
Speaker 3: agree with that, Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Hands down, women get trashed so much more.
Speaker 5: Look, I agree with that, yes, but I don't agree
Speaker 5: with the setting of it. I don't think anyone is
Speaker 5: being considered Alarican for just giving it a crack at
Speaker 5: the Olympics. It's the Olympics, Like people are there doing
Speaker 5: their absolute best and being the best. Now, I reckon,
Speaker 5: if a guy went and did that performance at the Olympics,
Speaker 5: people would be like, oh, poor guy, Like he gave
Speaker 5: it a go.
Speaker 3: But because she's who she is, she got so much
Speaker 3: more hate.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of criticism towards her for not riding
Speaker 1: the wave enough. There's criticism that she I mean, she
Speaker 1: could have made so much money out of this.
Speaker 3: Oh, I think she's riding the wave. Heard she's in
Speaker 3: the front of stella.
Speaker 4: If that's not ride waving, wave writing, if that is
Speaker 4: not serving the chick.
Speaker 3: That is Tina Arena, the icon, the Queen, Mitch.
Speaker 4: I'm so much more excited to introduce her than you.
Speaker 4: Sorry I took over you then, but yeah, I've been
Speaker 4: looking forward to this interview for a couple of days now.
Speaker 4: So the Queen herself, Tina Arena is on after the great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, new music vertie is on from Shane's. She's joining
Speaker 2: us next and.
Speaker 1: By welcome back to the pickup britt Laura and Mitva
Speaker 1: Monday afternoon or thanks to Chemist Warehouse, Hey head in,
Speaker 1: you'll save more money every year on your regular medication
Speaker 1: with discount of prescriptions in every store every day.
Speaker 4: I am so excited to bring in today's guests someone
Speaker 4: that when you grow up, Little Brittany was like, I'm
Speaker 4: never going to get the chance to speak to this woman.
Speaker 4: This is Australia's highest selling artist of all time ten
Speaker 4: million albums worldwide. She has just released a new remix
Speaker 4: of her nineteen ninety four hits I'm in Change.
Speaker 2: Do you know who I'm talking about?
Speaker 4: Tina Arena? I, Oh, what a moment this is you've
Speaker 4: released an absolute new banger, a remix with Shouts of Chains.
Speaker 4: Did you expect to ever replicate the success that you
Speaker 4: had so long ago?
Speaker 6: Well, the replication of the success is very different today
Speaker 6: in terms of how we kind of view music and stuff.
Speaker 6: But I didn't. I didn't really expect. I don't expect much.
Speaker 3: You're going to get it, though, do you.
Speaker 6: Much?
Speaker 5: Do you feel different performing now in comparison to when
Speaker 5: it first came out, Like getting up and performing this song,
Speaker 5: does it feel different to you or does it have
Speaker 5: a different meaning to it now?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 6: I think it's a song that's always because it came
Speaker 6: from such an honest place, and I think that the
Speaker 6: subject matter of chains is something that I think is
Speaker 6: completely identifiable for anybody. I always knew that the song
Speaker 6: had great longevity because it's a very well written SONGA
Speaker 6: it's pleasing to see that there's a new generation that
Speaker 6: are enjoying it today. And I still enjoy seeing the
Speaker 6: song because it takes a different shape all the time,
Speaker 6: you know, And I'm much more comfortable performing today as
Speaker 6: opposed to being in the nineties, where I perhaps was
Speaker 6: much more insecure about my staff. You know, whilst everybody
Speaker 6: was enjoying it. I was constantly questioning, so you know
Speaker 6: that constant questioning now goes. It's like, you know what
Speaker 6: it is, what it is, don't overthink it. Just have
Speaker 6: a great time and pray to God that everybody else
Speaker 6: has a good time.
Speaker 1: People do I mean even the reception that you had
Speaker 1: when you performed at the AFL Grand Final a few
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Now with Katy Perry, I don't want to
Speaker 1: ask about the performance because that was incredible.
Speaker 2: We all agree.
Speaker 1: I mean, stay that moment, it was amazing. But how
Speaker 1: do you feel getting the call? I mean, when you
Speaker 1: get the call from Katy Perry or Katy Perry's team,
Speaker 1: does the you know, the Tina from Young Talent Time
Speaker 1: when you were eight years old.
Speaker 2: Go, what's going on? Why it's Katy Perry calling me?
Speaker 2: That must be a crazy moment.
Speaker 6: It was nice. Look, she's really great. She was asked
Speaker 6: obviously to do the thing. She'd agreed. She's she has
Speaker 6: a real affinity with Australians. She's actually her in a call,
Speaker 6: her inner sanctum, her creative a musical sanctum are all Australians.
Speaker 6: So it's very interesting. How yeah, how she's sort of
Speaker 6: set up, so I think, sort of spiritually and certainly
Speaker 6: from a sense of humor perspective, we're quite similar. We're
Speaker 6: both scorpios, so we both work really hard, we both
Speaker 6: have a sense of humor. She was really lovely. She
Speaker 6: loved the song, wanted to wanted it to be a
Speaker 6: part of her set, which I was really flatted because
Speaker 6: she didn't have to, but she chose to. And I
Speaker 6: think that that's incredibly gracious on her behalf, you know,
Speaker 6: And we had a bloody great time. Tina.
Speaker 5: You said before that you like at this space now
Speaker 5: in life where you don't you don't care as much
Speaker 5: about what people think, or you're able to kind of
Speaker 5: just move beyond the space that you're in where you're
Speaker 5: feeling more self conscious.
Speaker 3: What changed for you? What gave you this new perspective?
Speaker 6: What age gives you that perspective when you're in your
Speaker 6: You know, I'm in my late fifties now, so you know,
Speaker 6: if I don't start enjoying myself really looking at what
Speaker 6: it is that I do and enjoying it, what is
Speaker 6: the bloody purpose of it?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 6: So I think that once you understand that it's not
Speaker 6: your job to make everybody happy. It's your job to
Speaker 6: do what it is that you do. And if people
Speaker 6: come along and enjoy, enjoy that, that's terrific. And if
Speaker 6: they don't, that's certainly fine as well. You know, I
Speaker 6: think that it's at a certain point you've just got
Speaker 6: to take stock of everything and understand that you do
Speaker 6: what you do and as long as your intentions are good,
Speaker 6: the rest who cares?
Speaker 4: Tina, You were the first Australian to be awarded a
Speaker 4: knighthood in France.
Speaker 3: What what benefits do you get being like a night.
Speaker 6: Flake?
Speaker 2: Does it come with anything?
Speaker 6: Zero?
Speaker 3: Zero forgives you nothing, just a bit of a flat.
Speaker 6: Big it's a big fat zero. Of course. It doesn't
Speaker 6: put you at the top of the line. It doesn't
Speaker 6: do anything. It's a it's a recognition. It's a lovely recognition.
Speaker 6: But does it do anything for you know.
Speaker 3: Not like less tax or anything. No payless tax, No
Speaker 3: sneaking comes up in trivia.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, certainly not less tax stuff, that's for sure.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 2: It's funny.
Speaker 1: I watched like what's happening in the US at the
Speaker 1: moment and you've got like Beyonce out about the election
Speaker 1: ride and Beyonce speaking for Kamala. And when you get
Speaker 1: to icon status in America, it's almost like, all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, you have to speak on all issues. You've
Speaker 1: got to speak on cultural issues, you've got to speak
Speaker 1: on political issues. But in Australia you get to you
Speaker 1: get to icon status like you have, and it's kind
Speaker 1: of like leave them alone. You know, they don't have
Speaker 1: to speak on anything. Yes, you're an idea a French night,
Speaker 1: but also I'm more mean, do you ever feel pressured,
Speaker 1: Tina to come out and speak on those political issues
Speaker 1: here in Australia?
Speaker 6: You know, not really? I mean everybody's sort of comments
Speaker 6: about things today, because if we look at the state
Speaker 6: of the world, there is certainly reason to be gravely concerned,
Speaker 6: particularly with this collection. And I am I am. I
Speaker 6: do pay attention to politics. I always have. I don't
Speaker 6: know where that comes from. Maybe it's the maybe I
Speaker 6: come from a household where politics was a subject at
Speaker 6: the dinner table where we would talk things. I think
Speaker 6: it's really important that people are aware of what's going on.
Speaker 6: Can I a bit quiet? Please? Should? I think it's
Speaker 6: important to know what is going on, because you know,
Speaker 6: if America sneezes, we catch the pneumonia, and frankly, that's
Speaker 6: very important. And you know, we are living in a
Speaker 6: world where it's really clear now that people are being
Speaker 6: censored for what it is that they say. I'm just
Speaker 6: a citizen like anybody else. So where those elections go
Speaker 6: and all of that they discuss is of course a
Speaker 6: concern to me, like it's a concern to any of
Speaker 6: anybody listening, right, So we do need to pay attention,
Speaker 6: and I do pay attention.
Speaker 1: Listen if you're just joining us on the pick up,
Speaker 1: Tina Arena is here. She's got brand new music out,
Speaker 1: She's doing a thirtith anniversary tour. All the details next.
Speaker 1: She's staying with us after this on the pickup. Joining
Speaker 1: us now is an Australian icon, ladies. Truly, this is
Speaker 1: a Unix of change.
Speaker 5: Good right, Yes, welcome back now, Tina. We were just
Speaker 5: talking about it before the break. We're talking about some
Speaker 5: things that are happening in the States, but you also
Speaker 5: recently made a comment about how the music industry needs
Speaker 5: an overhaul, and in reference particularly to what's happening with
Speaker 5: p Didty at the moment, I mean, we're all across.
Speaker 3: That right, it's crazy.
Speaker 5: What is your experience of the music What was your
Speaker 5: experience of the music scene and the music music What
Speaker 5: was your experience of the music scene and the music
Speaker 5: culture when it was at a tight look, it's not.
Speaker 6: A it's not a particularly kind industry. There's an enormous
Speaker 6: amount of manipulation and insecurity that goes on. It's a
Speaker 6: system that's evolved with time to think less and less
Speaker 6: of the people that are the creatives that create the art.
Speaker 6: So it's really an important time for artists and the
Speaker 6: public alike to be aware of a systemic that has
Speaker 6: been in place just for a long time. It's run
Speaker 6: in a particular fashion that's very inappropriate economically, spiritually, and
Speaker 6: all of all of the above. I've you know, I
Speaker 6: just I just call out the bullshit. I just can't.
Speaker 6: I don't have the patience for it. I've always been
Speaker 6: very honest about it. I started being honest about it
Speaker 6: a long long time ago. And that's the way it is.
Speaker 6: And I'm whilst this is unbelievably tragic what is going
Speaker 6: on in the US if it enables the system to
Speaker 6: be completely rethought, and I think it's time. Yeah, So
Speaker 6: that's that's what I think. That's what I think. I mean,
Speaker 6: I've seen a lot of stuff my day. It's not
Speaker 6: worth getting into it. I think all of you have
Speaker 6: a vivid enough imagination of the kind of stuff that
Speaker 6: goes on as a as as a woman. Now I
Speaker 6: sort of go, okay, well, here are my boundaries, here
Speaker 6: are my rules. If you like them to you don't
Speaker 6: like them, that's fine too. But I don't want to
Speaker 6: be a part of any of that. I've never been
Speaker 6: a part of it. I'm not interested, but I do
Speaker 6: know what goes on.
Speaker 4: Well, speaking of economically, which you just said, I just
Speaker 4: read something wild. Lily Allen just came out saying that
Speaker 4: she makes more money off her feet only fans than
Speaker 4: she does from her eight million streams a month on Spotify.
Speaker 2: Which is insane and gorgeous.
Speaker 3: She must have a lot of subscribers and only fans
Speaker 3: then no.
Speaker 4: But it's just insane because a lot of people sign
Speaker 4: only is she or only.
Speaker 3: Only for her feet?
Speaker 6: Only for her feet?
Speaker 4: She puts like she does get pedicures, has nice sandals
Speaker 4: and makes a bang.
Speaker 3: She Well, she's saying she makes more of that.
Speaker 4: But I think a lot of people sign their life away.
Speaker 4: But Tina, your thirtieth anniversary to Don't Ask is coming up.
Speaker 4: You've got some special guests and some special little surprises
Speaker 4: along the way.
Speaker 3: Can you quickly tell us about who you're bringing along
Speaker 3: with you?
Speaker 6: Well, Richard Marx is my international guest, which I'm really
Speaker 6: excited about, so he'll have an opportunity to play his music,
Speaker 6: which has always been successful in Australia. There's also Darryl
Speaker 6: broith Waite, Kate so Brhina is playing, Southern Sons will
Speaker 6: be playing nineteen twenty seven, will be playing. Wow. I
Speaker 6: just and myself. I just think it's a really interesting
Speaker 6: lineup of people. So I think it's going to be
Speaker 6: a fantastic day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, Tina.
Speaker 5: Can I just say it's so incredibly refreshing to speak
Speaker 5: to someone who has been in the absolute upper echelons
Speaker 5: of Australian stardom when it comes to the industry that
Speaker 5: you're in, and how humble you are and how you
Speaker 5: speak about it and all the lessons that you've learned
Speaker 5: along the way, It really is such a I mean,
Speaker 5: I've enjoyed this so much.
Speaker 3: It's such a beautiful perspective that you have.
Speaker 6: Thank you Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 6: I'm not into smoke and mirrors. I'm just not.
Speaker 3: No, you can tell.
Speaker 6: I kind of look at it like, my job is
Speaker 6: to be truthful to myself and to the public. My
Speaker 6: job isn't to give them any more bullshit. They've got
Speaker 6: enough bullshit on their plates. So I just I keep it.
Speaker 1: I keep it as it is, and that is why
Speaker 1: she's one of the times that is. Tina Arena, thank
Speaker 1: you so much for joining us this afternoon.
Speaker 2: On the pickup.
Speaker 6: Thank you so much. Guys, keep having fun and keep
Speaker 6: keeping it real.
