Speaker 1: Laura, and come on, hi, hello everyone.
Speaker 2: Can you believe no one won that power ball? They're
Speaker 2: doing it again tonight.
Speaker 3: Do you know?
Speaker 4: I can believe it because the statistics of winning the
Speaker 4: powerball are something like, you're more likely to get I
Speaker 4: was gonna say, bitten by a shark, but that's very
Speaker 4: terrible timing, because someone got.
Speaker 3: Bitten by a shark recently. Laura, it's not a chunk.
Speaker 3: It's awful.
Speaker 5: It's too soon, Laura.
Speaker 3: It is. You're more likely to get hit by a car.
Speaker 4: But I bet you someone's been hit by a car
Speaker 4: recently as well, because statistics.
Speaker 3: Say or well, you're a head. Anyway, It's been a
Speaker 3: lovely day everyone.
Speaker 5: I'm genuinely shocked at no one won because I bought tickets.
Speaker 5: I always buy tickets. I'm I am a lot of person.
Speaker 1: I'm a winner.
Speaker 5: Like inside, I'm a winner.
Speaker 2: You are the most boomer jen exer I've ever met
Speaker 2: in my life, like lives and breathes a lotto like
Speaker 2: my mom.
Speaker 1: It's next level.
Speaker 4: I also like how you say I am a winner
Speaker 4: on the inside, but on the outside you're definitely not
Speaker 4: a winner since you've never won it yet.
Speaker 3: But you've got to be in it to win it.
Speaker 5: How are you guys going to feel when I win
Speaker 5: one hundred million dollars? What are you going to You're
Speaker 5: gonna be my kiss in my butt?
Speaker 1: Then aren't you.
Speaker 3: Two hundred million?
Speaker 1: Don't you worry?
Speaker 2: I'm going to hit you up for all those loans
Speaker 2: and all the coffees that you know I've bought you
Speaker 2: in the past.
Speaker 1: But we're actually going to live the experience because.
Speaker 3: That's the biggest pot. It's funny, because Mitch o us funny.
Speaker 1: We're going to owe you money, get off it.
Speaker 2: We're going to be leaving the dream today because the woman, Hey,
Speaker 2: Amy's Anna. She's the person that calls you if you
Speaker 2: win the big number, and she's calling us today to
Speaker 2: show us what it feels like when it happens.
Speaker 3: What if I've won? I don't think that's why she's calling,
Speaker 3: but I reckon it the happiest job in the world.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not a setup enough we booked her.
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, before we speak to Anna, we're going to
Speaker 5: do one of our favorite segments, which is an ask uncut,
Speaker 5: where you guys writing or calling with your biggest predicaments.
Speaker 5: And today we're going to be talking all about those
Speaker 5: problematic in laws.
Speaker 1: Oh god, all right, that's on the way. Let's start
Speaker 1: the show. It's the pickup. It's Thursday, which means it's
Speaker 1: time to do this.
Speaker 6: Ask Uncut.
Speaker 5: So ask Guncut is something we do every single Thursday
Speaker 5: on our podcast, Life Uncut Podcast, and we love it
Speaker 5: so much we've brought it here.
Speaker 3: To the Pickup.
Speaker 5: It's where you guys writing or call up with your
Speaker 5: biggest problems and we do our best to answer them.
Speaker 5: And today we have Sarah on the phone. Now Sarah
Speaker 5: has a bit of an issue with the in laws.
Speaker 3: What's up, Sarah?
Speaker 6: Hi there. So it's not the in laws but one
Speaker 6: of the in laws, my mother in law specifically.
Speaker 1: Okay, what's happening? Tell us?
Speaker 6: My mother in law will sometimes pick up my kid
Speaker 6: from school. Sometimes we'll look after the kids, like for
Speaker 6: a few hours, but regardless, they are constantly feeding them
Speaker 6: with sugar, constantly donuts, lollies, like chips, just junk food,
Speaker 6: and I've asked them to stop, but they they keep
Speaker 6: doing it.
Speaker 4: Okay, So when your mother in law is picking the
Speaker 4: kids up, is it because you're not able to get
Speaker 4: them yourself, or like you need hurt it, Like, is
Speaker 4: she helping you in these instances or is it because
Speaker 4: she wants to spend time with them. She's their grandmother,
Speaker 4: obviously she wants to spend time with them.
Speaker 6: Yeah, she does want to spend time with them, but
Speaker 6: it is actually because they can't get off work sometimes,
Speaker 6: so she's like doing us a favor and she she
Speaker 6: does want to hang out.
Speaker 2: But yeah, Sarah, does it affect the kids? Like are
Speaker 2: the kids coming back, Revd? Or you just don't like
Speaker 2: you like one of those green mums that are like,
Speaker 2: my kids have to have collagen and bone broth?
Speaker 1: Is it affecting them or you just don't like that
Speaker 1: they're eating sugar.
Speaker 6: No, it is actually affecting them. They come home like
Speaker 6: they come back to me and they're completely hyper, just
Speaker 6: peeing off the walls. And I am also very health conscious,
Speaker 6: like you know, I make bone broth from a scratch,
Speaker 6: like yeah, chicken carcasses for like four hours, so it's
Speaker 6: in most of their meals. So they've gut health. But
Speaker 6: I'm very like conscious of that. But they're also.
Speaker 2: Kids just want a little lollie I met.
Speaker 5: Do you think that they deserve it? Is that what
Speaker 5: you're saying you think that they have the bone broth
Speaker 5: at home.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's one you can't send.
Speaker 5: Little wild beasts back to their parents at nighttime. Like
Speaker 5: I don't have kids, but even I know that rule.
Speaker 5: I think, Sarah, what you've got to do is obviously
Speaker 5: obviously they're doing you a favor by helping you out
Speaker 5: and babysit the them, but they still have to respect
Speaker 5: your wishes. So I think what you should do is
Speaker 5: start to pack the afternoon treats that could be maybe
Speaker 5: something you approve, like a natural version of sugar, if
Speaker 5: that's what you're happy with, but send it so there's
Speaker 5: there's no other option.
Speaker 1: What a week grass shot or.
Speaker 4: Like faces like this is no okay, I agree. I
Speaker 4: totally agree with you, brand, and I agree that in
Speaker 4: a perfect world, you know, people should respect your parenting,
Speaker 4: especially the in laws like grandparents should respect the way
Speaker 4: that you want to raise your kids. But I do
Speaker 4: kind of sometimes think you've got to like pick, like,
Speaker 4: what's the lesser of two evils? If they're helping you
Speaker 4: out if it's infrequent, is the juice worth the squeeze
Speaker 4: with how much it might hurt? But you're right, law
Speaker 4: I'm kind of like, is a couple of lollies, you know,
Speaker 4: every couple of weeks a big deal.
Speaker 6: I don't know, like I do worry about things like,
Speaker 6: you know, diabetes and teeth heals and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: Mate, my kids are screwed. Then put it that way.
Speaker 3: I'm messed up.
Speaker 2: No, Sarah, I was an LCM kid growing up, like
Speaker 2: I had all the treats in the world.
Speaker 3: To be fair, you're pretty unwell sometimes.
Speaker 1: Good point. Talk to your mother in law. It's great,
Speaker 1: that's what that is for.
Speaker 3: Though, right, you can't send the kids with a chicken carcass.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm imagining. He's afternoon. But Sarah, you sound like.
Speaker 4: You're amazing mum and you were doing such good work
Speaker 4: with the kids.
Speaker 3: But god, it's hard. I understand. But also it's really hard.
Speaker 4: I know sometimes you want you have a specific way
Speaker 4: that you want your kids to parent, and I think
Speaker 4: you know sometimes sometimes you've got to pick what's the
Speaker 4: what's the easiest route, you know, the path of this resistance.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that is true because pain for bacare school.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and do in your favor. It would be
Speaker 4: different if you were vegan and they were trying to
Speaker 4: feed the kid meat. Then I'd say, oh, we probably
Speaker 4: should have a chat about that.
Speaker 6: That's that's true. I mean at least they do get
Speaker 6: their you know, meet and beds and they are very
Speaker 6: valid like throughout the week.
Speaker 1: So are we talking about kids or do you have
Speaker 1: two Yorkshire Terrians that your mum helps pick up? It's no, okay, no, no,
Speaker 1: they sound beautiful. Thank you, Sarah. You need how like
Speaker 1: Sarah does?
Speaker 2: You can ride into the pickup dot com dot or
Speaker 2: you can dm as on the pickup Instagram next on
Speaker 2: the show. If you've ever wanted to live out your
Speaker 2: experience of getting I mean, what's up for grabs two
Speaker 2: hundred million dollars and the powerball tonight. Enna is the
Speaker 2: girl that calls you if you're the one to win huge.
Speaker 3: It sounds like the best job in the world.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so close your eyes next and you might be
Speaker 2: able to feel like you're actually winning two hundred meal
Speaker 2: on the pickup after this, Hey, today is the big day.
Speaker 2: The two hundred million dollar powerball didn't go off last week.
Speaker 4: I mean, I know the BRIT's excited about this because
Speaker 4: she's the one out of the three of us who
Speaker 4: always buys a lottery ticket.
Speaker 1: I've never bought one in my life. Britt does it
Speaker 1: every time.
Speaker 5: I don't know why you guys are so shocked by
Speaker 5: you act like I'm like sick in the head or
Speaker 5: something who doesn't want to win two hundred million dollars.
Speaker 4: I don't think you're sick in the head at all.
Speaker 4: I just love that you are so optimistic that you
Speaker 4: think you're gonna win this. I just know it won't
Speaker 4: be me, so I don't bother buying the ticket.
Speaker 2: Joining us now live on the air is the lady
Speaker 2: that could, and we'll be making the call tonight, Anna
Speaker 2: from New South Wales Lottery. She's the woman that gets
Speaker 2: to make the call to the winners to say, hello,
Speaker 2: you've won millions of dollars.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the pickup Anna.
Speaker 7: Hello, Hi guys, thanks so much for having me. And yes,
Speaker 7: hopefully I'll be giving you guys a call.
Speaker 4: Hi. Anda, Well, I mean I hope that you do
Speaker 4: end up calling Britt later tonight, because I will be
Speaker 4: coming to her for you know, surely you give me something, right, Britt.
Speaker 5: Look, you'll never know if I win lotto. There will
Speaker 5: be some signs I will be on a yacht with
Speaker 5: twenty five dollars.
Speaker 3: Other than that, you were.
Speaker 5: Not seeing an inch of it.
Speaker 4: And I think these must be honestly the happiest job
Speaker 4: in the world.
Speaker 3: But like, what is it like?
Speaker 4: What's that moment like when you call do people believe
Speaker 4: that it's actually happening or does it take them a
Speaker 4: while to process it?
Speaker 7: It certainly is such a rewarding job. I love every
Speaker 7: day ringing every day Australians to let them know they've
Speaker 7: won a life changing amount of money, and it certainly is.
Speaker 7: It really just depends who's on the other end of
Speaker 7: the line and what sort of reaction might I'm fold,
Speaker 7: but we've truly heard it all here at the lot.
Speaker 7: We've had people almost faint on us Sun's silence. We're
Speaker 7: wondering if they're still on the other end of the line. Yeah,
Speaker 7: we've even had people say, you know, you might want
Speaker 7: to call triple zero just in case. So we've truly
Speaker 7: heard it all. And even this is quite funny. Someone
Speaker 7: had to go on the toilet, So so many funny
Speaker 7: stories here when we call our winners.
Speaker 5: Wow, are you not tempted to like, if someone want
Speaker 5: two hundred million dollars, are you not tempted to call
Speaker 5: them and be like, oh my god, you want one
Speaker 5: hundred and ninety million and then just like sipher that
Speaker 5: extra ten million into your pocket.
Speaker 7: That would be quite the prank. And I'm not sure
Speaker 7: if they would hate me or love me at the end,
Speaker 7: but its extra ten million dollars would definitely not.
Speaker 1: Go astray, right, Okay, Nna, I want to do a
Speaker 1: little demo.
Speaker 2: So for everyone in Australia, close your eyes, not if
Speaker 2: you're driving, but if you're in the car, eyes over
Speaker 2: it and maybe perhaps run us through like a faux call.
Speaker 2: Pretend it's britt because she's the one that buys the
Speaker 2: lottery tickets, she's the boomer.
Speaker 1: So dialing Brittany Hockley. Brittany Hockley.
Speaker 5: Hello, Hello, it's Brittany.
Speaker 7: Hi, Brittany, this is Anna from the lot How are
Speaker 7: you today?
Speaker 5: From Sorry and the Parking Lot?
Speaker 7: From the lot So, Australia's official lotteries. I'm calling because
Speaker 7: you purchased a ticket and I have some really amazing
Speaker 7: news for you. Is right now the best time.
Speaker 3: Am I on radio? Is this a prank?
Speaker 7: Definitely not a prank. Do you remember buying a ticket
Speaker 7: for Powerball?
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, I buy a ticket most weeks, but
Speaker 5: I don't understand.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I have some great news for you, and
Speaker 7: I'm not sure if you're going to believe me, but
Speaker 7: do hold on. Now, I'm going to have to you
Speaker 7: to get that ticket. And let's pretend you've ready got
Speaker 7: the ticket.
Speaker 5: No, I have it.
Speaker 3: I keep it in my brain all the time.
Speaker 5: I've been waiting my whole life for this call.
Speaker 3: I've got it here.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 7: It might be a bit sweaty, but you might want
Speaker 7: to grab that ticket out because it's going to be
Speaker 7: life changing for you and I really want to tell
Speaker 7: you that amazing news. So, so you've got that ticket,
Speaker 7: and we'll just need you to get that ticket number.
Speaker 7: You'll have to read it out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, just I don't even need to read it. It's
Speaker 5: seventy five eighty twenty one, nineteen seventy two.
Speaker 7: Perfect, let's just go with that. And that's that's all
Speaker 7: the numbers I have here. So, Brittany, it is my
Speaker 7: absolute pleasure to confirm that you have one that million
Speaker 7: dollars in the lottery draw that you have entered. Congratulations,
Speaker 7: How did it feel?
Speaker 5: Oh? My god? I I just don't even know what
Speaker 5: to say, are you sure it's only a million?
Speaker 3: Because it was a two hundred million I entered.
Speaker 1: This is like a terrible porno.
Speaker 2: The acting is shocking, scene en scene to be there.
Speaker 3: I'm there for the excitement.
Speaker 4: I honestly, I can't even imagine how beautiful it must
Speaker 4: be calling people and telling them, oh that they've won
Speaker 4: that much money.
Speaker 3: It's a million dollars two hundred million? Was that not real?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're about to be sued by Brittany Hockley and
Speaker 1: a good luck.
Speaker 7: That's my bad.
Speaker 1: That to edit from New South Wales Lotteries.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty crazy that you're going to hang up from
Speaker 2: us and you're going to make that call very soon tonight.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I can't wait. Well, it's about seat. Wait, I'm
Speaker 7: very exciting.
Speaker 4: What happens if the numbers don't get caught is just
Speaker 4: go on to another night, just keep on rolling on
Speaker 4: until someone wins.
Speaker 7: Yeah. So, due to the nature of the game, it
Speaker 7: is a jackponn in game, so if there's no Division
Speaker 7: one winners, it will jackpot until it's one. So not
Speaker 7: too sure how high it will go, but it definitely
Speaker 7: will be a life changing prize if someone was to
Speaker 7: win hopefully go through one or more players would be nice,
Speaker 7: but hopefully we will be making that call tonight.
Speaker 3: All right, I'll talk to you later. Anna talk to
Speaker 3: you tonight.
Speaker 2: Okay, guys, stand by Next on the show, Laura, what
Speaker 2: is going on with your kids?
Speaker 4: Look, you really need to pick your battles when it
Speaker 4: comes to children and mar child, she's quite a new
Speaker 4: interest in a toy that's kind of more an adult toy,
Speaker 4: and she probably shouldn't be playing.
Speaker 1: With belongs in Mum and Dad's top draw, not the toy.
Speaker 3: Look, it's been a bit of a problem. This is
Speaker 3: a battle I think should pick.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's next. Other pick up.
Speaker 4: Now, when it comes to children, any parent knows that
Speaker 4: you have to pick your battles, right because if you
Speaker 4: don't pick your battles, you're at war every single day
Speaker 4: with tiny, tiny little terrorists.
Speaker 1: I'll be picked for you, they'll be picked for you.
Speaker 4: And I have a two year old, I have a
Speaker 4: four year old, and I am well versed in picking
Speaker 4: my battles these days. Now, last week I was telling you, guys,
Speaker 4: how so my husband, Matt he he does a lot
Speaker 4: of funny skits on Instagram.
Speaker 3: That's like he's a content creator.
Speaker 4: That's his bread and butter, and he works with lots
Speaker 4: of different brands. Now, he as a grown man, has
Speaker 4: a costume box in our house that's filled with so
Speaker 4: many weird and wonderful things like truly like you know, wigs,
Speaker 4: I'm talking costumes, I'm talking whatever, things that you wouldn't
Speaker 4: think that a grown man would have, but he's got
Speaker 4: them in his costume box. Anyway, recently, Lola, because the
Speaker 4: kids love they you know, little kids, they love getting
Speaker 4: into a costume box.
Speaker 3: Of course, there's nothing better.
Speaker 4: This was a couple of weeks ago and Lola pulled
Speaker 4: out something that she took a particular liking too. Now,
Speaker 4: the reason why she took a liking to it is
Speaker 4: because it is long, it is red, it is made
Speaker 4: from like a latex finish, and it's actually an adult
Speaker 4: writing crop which maybe used for some special times in
Speaker 4: the bedroom.
Speaker 1: Now the tassles on the edd no, it's like a
Speaker 1: whip on the end.
Speaker 3: It's for spanking wee boy put that together. Thanks Laura,
Speaker 3: thanks for breaking it down.
Speaker 4: Okay, so Lola, she took it out of the box
Speaker 4: this one day and she was calling at her magic
Speaker 4: wand and so that was funny.
Speaker 3: And this is going downhill rapidly.
Speaker 4: And she walks around the house now with her magic
Speaker 4: wand and she'll say, abracadabra, you're a frog.
Speaker 3: And then you have to get down and pretend to
Speaker 3: be a frog.
Speaker 4: Anyway, this was going on for a couple of weeks
Speaker 4: and she because she Lola, is very much when she
Speaker 4: gets like fixated on a toy, she gets a real
Speaker 4: attachment to it.
Speaker 3: So for a while there it was a mickey mouse.
Speaker 3: Now it's the writing crop.
Speaker 4: So I put it in the bin this one day
Speaker 4: because I was like, well, I need to get rid
Speaker 4: of the writing crop. And I in bed and Matt
Speaker 4: comes running upstairs and he goes, heye, where's Lola's where's
Speaker 4: Lalla's magic wand? And I was like, you know, and
Speaker 4: I know that this is not a magic wand like,
Speaker 4: why are we playing into this. He's like, she's downstairs,
Speaker 4: she's having a tantrum. And I said, it's in the bin.
Speaker 4: So he went and he pulls it out of the bin.
Speaker 4: And all that did was reinforce how much she's so
Speaker 4: attached to this now writing crop. So then she wouldn't
Speaker 4: she wouldn't just keep it inside. Now she carries it
Speaker 4: outside with her.
Speaker 3: So there we are.
Speaker 4: We went for a family walk to go and get
Speaker 4: coffees and lunch with Lola and Marley May and the
Speaker 4: riding crop and mom and dad. But the thing is
Speaker 4: is that she'll go up to complete strangers now and go.
Speaker 3: Abrica Debra and whips out the writing crop.
Speaker 5: It also doesn't help when you hold a bedroom riding
Speaker 5: crop up and yell abracadabra, get down and.
Speaker 3: Be a frog's people are gonna be like we did.
Speaker 3: She hear this dialogue. She's whipping this rip around.
Speaker 5: She's gone get down with a whip, Laura, you need
Speaker 5: to replace it with it. Go and get her an
Speaker 5: actual like Harry Potter wand, an actual wand and say
Speaker 5: this is a more magic. Take the whip away in
Speaker 5: it and give her like no, she has other ones.
Speaker 4: She's got fairy wings, she's got proper ones, but she
Speaker 4: prefers the red latex one. Look, it's very shiny and
Speaker 4: it does a good job, like mother, like babraca dabra.
Speaker 2: Everyone.
Speaker 1: That's good. All right, let's get out of here before
Speaker 1: the show gets taken off. Yeah, we'll see tomorrow.
Speaker 3: See you guys. Bye guys.
