Speaker 1: Laura, come on hello everyone.
Speaker 2: Hello, Hello, Happy Tuesday everyone. I have some one day
Speaker 2: old cake for you all.
Speaker 3: Did you burn this one with a sparkler as well?
Speaker 2: No, nothing like celebrating Yesterday. It was my daughter's birthday.
Speaker 4: She's four, finally, and we didn't tell her it.
Speaker 3: Was her We've been well. We didn't tell her.
Speaker 2: It was her birthday until we picked her up from
Speaker 2: daycare because we didn't want her to get upset in
Speaker 2: the morning that we had to go to work.
Speaker 4: So she only found out it was her birthday at
Speaker 4: four point.
Speaker 5: Put your kid into not knowing it was their own birthday.
Speaker 3: We used to go to daycare and celebrate with their friends.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I had to go to work early in
Speaker 2: the morning.
Speaker 4: It was a whole thing.
Speaker 5: You can't, Laura's all, No, that's trauma.
Speaker 3: I remember four.
Speaker 4: But she was a lovely surprise when she.
Speaker 3: Remember this shocks me.
Speaker 2: She came home it was Monday afternoon and we said,
Speaker 2: maybe it's your birthday today, Happy birthday, and then we
Speaker 2: had a party for her.
Speaker 5: She's going to be so messed up. She's going to
Speaker 5: think with all her future partners that birthdays start at noon.
Speaker 3: No, four pm. The day is almost over.
Speaker 5: Just coincides when the pickup's over and our birthday starts.
Speaker 1: The odds, you know what the day's going to click
Speaker 1: when she's like, hang on mom, work every day.
Speaker 2: No, she knew it was her birthday, but we didn't
Speaker 2: want to make a big deal about it in the
Speaker 2: morning because because nothing was really planned in the route
Speaker 2: and we both had to go to work. So we
Speaker 2: made a big fuss about her last night. And if
Speaker 2: you guys don't want to eat your one day old cake,
Speaker 2: I'll have it myself.
Speaker 4: You're taking ungrateful all right?
Speaker 1: Well, coming up, I saw some new stats today. It
Speaker 1: is a surprising amount of people of Australians that are
Speaker 1: getting cosmetic surgery. And you won't believe the top three.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean we spoke about this recently and how
Speaker 2: prevalent it is. But part of me is not surprised.
Speaker 2: I feel like everybody is getting plastic surgery. Now maybe
Speaker 2: it's just in my second Well.
Speaker 3: The stats aren't one hundred percent.
Speaker 5: But I'm not got my Brazilian But if you guys
Speaker 5: weren't that shots remember and.
Speaker 3: When you're at your hair transplant.
Speaker 5: Transplant, Yeah, I was in Turkey.
Speaker 4: For success and you are looking at great Mitch. Also,
Speaker 4: we want to know how did you ruin a wedding?
Speaker 2: Because look, I ruined a wedding on the weekend, and
Speaker 2: I don't want to feel as bad as I do.
Speaker 5: All Right, that's all on the way here on the
Speaker 5: pickup thanks to Chemists Warehouse. Heading today it's great savings
Speaker 5: every day. It's the pickup around the country, Britt, Laura
Speaker 5: and Mitch Tuesday, thanks to Chemists Warehouse. Right now, write
Speaker 5: this down. There's half price off cosmetics across the Maybelene,
Speaker 5: Revlon Rimmel and Nude by Nature's Rangers or at Chemists Warehouse.
Speaker 3: Speaking of cosmetics, but the different kind. A little while
Speaker 3: ago on this show, we were speaking about the rise
Speaker 3: of cosmetic surgery. We had a discussion about it.
Speaker 1: But I have got some pretty alarming statistics that have
Speaker 1: come out about cosmetic surgery here in Australia.
Speaker 2: Well, we're talking about how prevalent it is across social
Speaker 2: media now and how it's like so normalized that it's
Speaker 2: almost gone past the point of being normalized to the
Speaker 2: point where now it's celebrated.
Speaker 5: I know, I remember thinking like way back when that
Speaker 5: facelifts were only something that Kim Kardashian or Chris Jenna
Speaker 5: would get. But now like my piano teachers how to facelift,
Speaker 5: she looks great totally.
Speaker 1: It used to be the botox were only for Hollywood
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff, and now it's just very accessible. Well,
Speaker 1: almost seven million Australians, or thirty eight percent of the
Speaker 1: adult population are considering undergoing cosmetic surgery in the next
Speaker 1: ten years.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 1: Now, the funny thing about this study is it says
Speaker 1: that almost half are doing so to feel better about themselves.
Speaker 3: But it doesn't say what the other half are doing
Speaker 3: it for.
Speaker 4: So I don't know.
Speaker 1: Fifty percent are obviously saying I want to change something
Speaker 1: to feel better for me. I'm doing this for me,
Speaker 1: but what are the other fifty percent doing it for?
Speaker 2: Even when we say that you're doing it for yourself.
Speaker 2: And I do understand, I know that there are some
Speaker 2: people who there's things that they don't like about themselves,
Speaker 2: and like, if you want to go out and get
Speaker 2: plastic surgery, this is absolutely no judgment on it, but
Speaker 2: I do wonder are you doing it because it's to
Speaker 2: feel better about yourself or you're doing it because there's
Speaker 2: a deep insecurity that comes that needs to be fixed.
Speaker 2: You know you're going to fix one thing and then
Speaker 2: that's not going to make you feel better. So you've
Speaker 2: got to go and fix something girls, or change something girls.
Speaker 2: I don't know what is the best reason to go
Speaker 2: and get plasting sel.
Speaker 5: Actuary A, a bit of col a, bit of column B.
Speaker 5: But if it is an insecurity and fixing it makes
Speaker 5: you feel better than gray, like problem solved.
Speaker 1: I'm pro cosmetic surgery. If somebody wants to feel better
Speaker 1: about themselves. I don't there's no problem with it. That's
Speaker 1: not what this is about.
Speaker 3: But listen to this statistic. More than one.
Speaker 1: Billion dollars is spent every year on more than five
Speaker 1: hundred thousand procedures. Now that makes it more popular in
Speaker 1: Australia per capita than the United States. Cosmetic surgery is
Speaker 1: more popular in Australia than the United States.
Speaker 3: Is that not wild?
Speaker 5: That's crazy?
Speaker 4: I mean it makes me.
Speaker 2: I know that you say, like, if you want to
Speaker 2: do something to fix something about yourself it makes you
Speaker 2: feel better about yourself. That it's fine, And I do
Speaker 2: think it's fine. But there's part of me that also things.
Speaker 2: I guess it's because I have two little girls. I
Speaker 2: would hate for my children to grow up feeling insecure
Speaker 2: and thinking, well, that's okay, I'll just get my boobs
Speaker 2: done and my nose done and then my butt done,
Speaker 2: and then I'll be more beautiful than people will like me.
Speaker 2: More like, what is the insecurity there that you should
Speaker 2: be addressing more so than the reason of getting something fixed?
Speaker 5: I think I have to go hand in hand. I think,
Speaker 5: like you have to you've got to be aware of
Speaker 5: why you're doing it. But that also doesn't negate that
Speaker 5: it can help. Well.
Speaker 1: This is also why it's so good that the government
Speaker 1: are bringing in now that to go and get cosmetic surgery,
Speaker 1: you're supposed to have a consult with a professional, a
Speaker 1: psychologized as like to really get to the bottom of why,
Speaker 1: make sure you understand. I think that that's a great
Speaker 1: step forward for this. But the most popular cosmetic surgery
Speaker 1: here in Australia. Number one, what do you reckon it.
Speaker 5: Is boobs have to be boobies?
Speaker 1: No, it's rhinoplasty, which is the nose. It's a nose
Speaker 1: job is number one. Number two boobs and number three
Speaker 1: is I'm going to say the colloquial name is an eyelift,
Speaker 1: had all three and the hair transplant. You had the
Speaker 1: hair transplant at.
Speaker 5: Lushy do I get a free sort of transplant by
Speaker 5: three get one free punch card.
Speaker 2: There are so many people now though, that are very transparent.
Speaker 2: Even Julia Morris spoke about when she got an eyelift done,
Speaker 2: and she was talking about on her social media. I
Speaker 2: do think it's become very, very normalized. And I have
Speaker 2: nothing against plastic surgery, but I do think it's wild
Speaker 2: that thirty eight percent of the population doesn't just want
Speaker 2: to age. Thirty eight percent of the population are like,
Speaker 2: I'm going to change something.
Speaker 3: If I can stop myself aging one day, I'm going
Speaker 3: to do it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I'm so for it. People. One hundred years ago,
Speaker 5: I wanted to live to thirty and not get polio.
Speaker 5: Now we've got all these amazing procedures to look good.
Speaker 5: I'll take it. I don't care.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm You just asked me where to get botox.
Speaker 5: I'm not won't repeat that.
Speaker 4: I'm not baiting this, Okay.
Speaker 2: I have definitely had moments where I thought I'll go
Speaker 2: and get my especially after having kids. I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: maybe I'll go and get myself a boob lift or whatever.
Speaker 2: And I even had a conversation with that about it
Speaker 2: my husband once and he said to me, and he
Speaker 2: was like, it's really hard to explain to our little
Speaker 2: girls that they're perfect the way they are and they
Speaker 2: don't have to change anything about themselves if you have
Speaker 2: gone and gone and gotten things done yourself. So that
Speaker 2: was the one thing that changed my mind about it,
Speaker 2: because I was like, well, I want them to feel
Speaker 2: beautiful exactly as they are, So I think I'm just
Speaker 2: gonna have to age gracefully if I want to.
Speaker 5: Can only celebrate their birthdays for six hours? Yeah? No,
Speaker 5: kids first first, next to the show, Laura going back
Speaker 5: into it, tell everyone what happened at the wedding on
Speaker 5: the weekend? Quickly?
Speaker 2: Oh, one of my beautiful friends. They got married on
Speaker 2: the weekend. It was truly a special occasion and it
Speaker 2: was lit up even more so by the fact that
Speaker 2: I set myself on fire and I also set the
Speaker 2: wedding cake on fire and set off the fire alarms
Speaker 2: right at the crucial moment.
Speaker 3: I love that that's not even clickbait. She literally set
Speaker 3: herself a fire.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I have the bvantages to prove it.
Speaker 5: Laura ruined a wedding and if you have two, will
Speaker 5: take your calls next thirteen one, I six five at
Speaker 5: the pickup. It's the pick up around Australia. Happy Tuesday
Speaker 5: afternoon with Brittain, Laura and Mitch heading to chemist ware
Speaker 5: house today, great savings every day. Britt Laura still got
Speaker 5: her bandaged fingers.
Speaker 3: I think she's gotta be banished for a while.
Speaker 4: I'm here.
Speaker 2: I've got my pointer finger and my thumb all bandaged
Speaker 2: it up because I set myself on fire on the weekend.
Speaker 2: To everyone, So, I had a friend's wedding. It was
Speaker 2: a beautiful wedding, and I was put in charge with
Speaker 2: lighting the sparklers, which seems like an innocent enough job,
Speaker 2: but I took it really seriously and I tried to
Speaker 2: light an entire pack of sparklers at the same time,
Speaker 2: and they went up like a bomb.
Speaker 3: You ruined your friend's wedding.
Speaker 2: I almost set the place on fire. I set the
Speaker 2: wedding cake on fire, and I set myself on fire.
Speaker 5: Your bandage to tell the story, can I just say
Speaker 5: you threw the sparkle bomb at the cake.
Speaker 4: I threw it on the cake.
Speaker 2: Well, I didn't want to throw it on the bar
Speaker 2: because the bar was wooden and the whole place had
Speaker 2: a Hessian roof.
Speaker 3: Bro it's not the fact it's wooden, it's alcohol.
Speaker 4: It's also okay.
Speaker 2: The fire alarm went off right at the pinnacle beautiful
Speaker 2: moment when they were about to announce that they were
Speaker 2: getting married.
Speaker 4: It was a whole thing, you know, to make.
Speaker 3: Yourself feel better.
Speaker 4: You got me.
Speaker 3: Thinking I ruined the wedding. Ones just got back the reception.
Speaker 1: We'd only just started to eat the main meal, so
Speaker 1: we're pretty early into the night.
Speaker 3: I obviously was feeling happy. God only knows why.
Speaker 1: I decided to drink red wine. But I went up
Speaker 1: to her to congratulate them and hug them, tripped and
Speaker 1: my entire red wine went down her wedding dress.
Speaker 3: Britt that's the bride, the whole, and I down in
Speaker 3: the front of her. I started crying. I stood there
Speaker 3: and started crying.
Speaker 1: I was shaking because I was like, you can one
Speaker 1: shot it this day, and I'm just and I was
Speaker 1: beside myself, and I was like, don't make this about me,
Speaker 1: and I was like, what can I do?
Speaker 3: The weight stuff? She was fine, she was like, it's fine.
Speaker 6: Doh.
Speaker 3: We got the photos and I was like.
Speaker 1: It's not fine, it's your wedding day. Anyway, we poured
Speaker 1: leaters of soda water that they were getting.
Speaker 2: So I'm sure she loved dancing around in a wet
Speaker 2: dress for the rest of the night.
Speaker 4: That would have been even better.
Speaker 3: Can you believe that?
Speaker 1: I feel like it's the ultimate thing besides setting the
Speaker 1: whole venue on fire, is putting red wine on.
Speaker 4: At least I didn't set the bride on fire.
Speaker 5: Grace on thirteen one, six five. What happened at the wedding?
Speaker 5: What went wrong? Oh?
Speaker 7: Okay, well this wasn't me. This is actually what my
Speaker 7: brother did at his own wedding. He got a little
Speaker 7: bit excited the night before and had a few too
Speaker 7: many drinks and he was so hungover that he actually
Speaker 7: missed the ceremony. Oh god, look he did. Like, you know,
Speaker 7: we waited for a few hours and it was like, oh,
Speaker 7: you know, we're kind of falling damage. This is a
Speaker 7: few years ago now, and we're all sort of in
Speaker 7: damage control, and you know, we got to the reception
Speaker 7: and he came to the reception, but he looked like
Speaker 7: an absolute zombie, like he like eyes were all like
Speaker 7: blood spots and everything, and we're trying to just make
Speaker 7: it this really like chill situation to cover what was
Speaker 7: just an absolute awful.
Speaker 2: How do you even go to the reception when there
Speaker 2: hasn't actually been a wedding, they're not.
Speaker 3: Married, but you paid for it's still got to go party.
Speaker 7: You paid, well a lot of money I've been spent,
Speaker 7: so you've just got to kind of roll with.
Speaker 3: What did his fiance do?
Speaker 7: Well? I don't know what happened behind closed doors, but
Speaker 7: it wasn't great.
Speaker 5: Joe, Hey, how did you ruin the wedding? What happened
Speaker 5: to you?
Speaker 6: I didn't ruin a wedding, but I was a wedding planner,
Speaker 6: so just about ten years ago, and I was given
Speaker 6: the CD from a bride who was told who I
Speaker 6: was told to put on at the start of their ceremony.
Speaker 6: So as I put the CD in, having not checked out,
Speaker 6: everyone was gasping. And when I looked up at the
Speaker 6: four big screens that was above all the wedding guests,
Speaker 6: it was actually a video of the groom that was
Speaker 6: standing there in the bride maids having it off together.
Speaker 4: Wait and you played it for everyone.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, it was sposedly a montage of photos of them,
Speaker 6: you know, in their life together before getting married, and
Speaker 6: you know, beautiful images and whatnot, and that was a
Speaker 6: very standard thing. It was actually something I suggested. I said,
Speaker 6: a lot of brides do this, you know, if you
Speaker 6: were having you know, some images and papas with CD
Speaker 6: and we'll put it up to the ceremony. And I'd
Speaker 6: actually had this a CD given to me a couple
Speaker 6: of days before at their rehearsal, and it was legitimate
Speaker 6: of their images, so I didn't think anything to check
Speaker 6: it again. And yeah, the CD she'd given me the
Speaker 6: second time around just happened to be this video that
Speaker 6: she catched.
Speaker 4: She ruined her own wedding.
Speaker 6: Well, no, she actually had a really good time because
Speaker 6: her whole his whole family and friends were obviously mortified,
Speaker 6: got up and left, and she continued to have the
Speaker 6: reception with just her friends.
Speaker 3: And this is a movie.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, oh yeah. It was tricky at the time,
Speaker 6: but we got there.
Speaker 4: My mouth is on the floor.
Speaker 2: I can't I feel absolved of my mistakes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, my accidents that I did. No one invite me
Speaker 4: to your weddings. I'm a liability.
Speaker 5: All right. Next on the show, we're discussing how old
Speaker 5: is too old to have a baby as from a
Speaker 5: man's perspective, how old is too old for a daddy
Speaker 5: to be a daddy? Big discussion. We'll have it next
Speaker 5: on the pick Up. It is the pickup around the
Speaker 5: country Tuesday afternoon, Britt and Laura and Mitch. Or thanks
Speaker 5: to Chemist's Warehouse. Right now, guys, this half price of
Speaker 5: cosmetics across Maybelene, Revlon Rimmel and Nude by Nature Range
Speaker 5: is at Chemists Warehouse. There is a new pandemic other
Speaker 5: than COVID sweeping the world.
Speaker 4: Is it also airborne?
Speaker 5: It's no, it's crotchbrawn. This this is a liquid based pandemic,
Speaker 5: and it is the pandemic of eighty year old men
Speaker 5: having babies with women that are a quarter of their aims.
Speaker 4: This one is also close contact though.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're talking about I'm talking about Alpucino. Yeah, so
Speaker 5: this is all sort of back in the news again
Speaker 5: if you did miss it. Al Pacino welcomed a baby
Speaker 5: into the world. Al Pacino is eighty three, his partner
Speaker 5: is twenty nine.
Speaker 2: Oh look, I mean, I know we've said plenty of times,
Speaker 2: even on this show, we've said age gaps don't matter.
Speaker 4: It's fine.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I read age gaps like that and I'm like,
Speaker 2: I think they do matter.
Speaker 4: That's not a gap a gad.
Speaker 5: A gap is like ten centimeters between the train and
Speaker 5: the platform. Is a cliff. That is you're going straight
Speaker 5: into a river.
Speaker 3: That's not the problem here, guys, we are not ages.
Speaker 3: Love is love. The problem here is is there a problem?
Speaker 3: I think there is?
Speaker 1: Is there a problem having a baby when you're about
Speaker 1: to hit eighty five. Let's be real, with all the
Speaker 1: science and all the money in the world, you're not
Speaker 1: outliving one hundred You're not gonna do it. If you do,
Speaker 1: you're one hundred and three year old, you will not
Speaker 1: be around for that child.
Speaker 2: I mean the mum will be though, because she's twenty four.
Speaker 4: She's fresh out of university, finishing school.
Speaker 2: But I do think it's pretty hard to bring children
Speaker 2: into the world knowing that you probably only have five.
Speaker 2: Maybe if you are so lucky to make it to
Speaker 2: the ripe old age of ninety six or whatever, that
Speaker 2: you have ten years left, you're leaving a kid before
Speaker 2: they're even ten years old.
Speaker 5: Well, this yeous on Chelsea Handler. She's a comedian in
Speaker 5: the US. She's so funny. She has such a big
Speaker 5: problem with this. She went and posted a video to
Speaker 5: her Instagram last night. It's actually quite intense. You looks
Speaker 5: down the barrel of the camera and has this to
Speaker 5: say on the whole matter.
Speaker 2: It's new epidemic sweeping the country.
Speaker 4: I know it's not another virus.
Speaker 5: It's worse old men who won't stop spreading their seats.
Speaker 3: They cannot stop procreating.
Speaker 2: Between the four of those guys, they have thirty two children.
Speaker 5: Robert de Niro just had his seventh child at the
Speaker 5: tender age of seventy nine.
Speaker 4: In my last clearly isn't as old as Murdoch or
Speaker 4: De Niro.
Speaker 1: He's not in his eighties, but because of his personality
Speaker 1: he may as well be.
Speaker 5: It's never worth mine, yeai. So she's talking about Elon Musk,
Speaker 5: al Pacino, Robert De Niro, and Alec Baldwin, all having yeah,
Speaker 5: thirty two children between they're all over the age of sixty.
Speaker 2: I do think we are very much focusing on the
Speaker 2: men having the children.
Speaker 4: This takes two to tango.
Speaker 2: There are young women who are married to these men,
Speaker 2: you know, mighty wealthy, powerful men who have one putting
Speaker 2: the grave and the other one slipping in. They also
Speaker 2: wanted to have babies with the men that they chose
Speaker 2: to marry, So I mean, they're obviously taking the responsibility
Speaker 2: of the fact that they're going to be parenting these
Speaker 2: children on their own, with proximply a very big inheritance.
Speaker 5: If we had to put an age on a dad,
Speaker 5: that's all I'm gonna I'm gonna put an age. Well
Speaker 5: for a newborn, yeah, for a dad to bring a
Speaker 5: newborn into the world. I say, like maybe cabin at
Speaker 5: light seventy.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, there's gonna be someone in their seventies who's
Speaker 2: listening to this. He doesn't feel too good. Grandparent age,
Speaker 2: that's under if you're in your seventies. If you're in
Speaker 2: your seventies and then there's babies coming into the world,
Speaker 2: you should probably be a granddad, not a year.
Speaker 5: A number.
Speaker 3: I'd say, Okay, you know what, I look at my
Speaker 3: dad now.
Speaker 1: My dad is sixty five. This is why I have
Speaker 1: a probably put a number on it, right, my dad's
Speaker 1: sixty five. If he became a dad now, he's so
Speaker 1: young and sprightly and fit and he'd be fine, but
Speaker 1: then you get other sixty five year olds that can't
Speaker 1: get out of bed.
Speaker 3: So I don't know.
Speaker 2: Well, then just up at ten years and go seventy five.
Speaker 3: Yeah, i'd go seventy. Don't do it up to seventy end.
Speaker 4: Oh I'm glad, thank you.
Speaker 3: I like to consider my opinions.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that if you're in the seven zeros,
Speaker 2: you're probably a bit too old to be bringing a
Speaker 2: fresh baby into the You're not going to be running
Speaker 2: around kicking balls with them, You're not going to be
Speaker 2: playing soccer.
Speaker 4: And I don't know, well said everyone.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, that's the end of us. We've been our
Speaker 5: boss at seventy. If you miss anything, you can listen
Speaker 5: to the pickup podcast on our heart radio.
Speaker 2: We do know if we get any complaints, they're only
Speaker 2: coming in from men in the eighties who have brand
Speaker 2: new children.
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly right. But when cold and flu strikes did
Speaker 5: the demison gets it done? Always follow the directions for
Speaker 5: use Well, what are you up next? Guys?
Speaker 4: They are and I think they're still trapped.
Speaker 8: Yeah, we look, we are trapped. We are in the
Speaker 8: room filled with puzzles. We've got to solve them all
Speaker 8: to get out of here. It's themed Indiana Jones themed, obviously,
Speaker 8: but it's like an Aztec term and yesterday was hectic.
Speaker 8: We were blindfolded, handcuffed at one stage.
Speaker 9: Now we haven't slept because we've got these looks like
Speaker 9: kids single bed hammocks in here, which is just awful. Anyway,
Speaker 9: if you want to hear more about our experience trapped
Speaker 9: in this room and join us about five minutes.
Speaker 5: Golden alright, I have a good one boy, see tomorrow
