Speaker 1: The Pickup with Britt Hockley and Laura Burn.
Speaker 2: Radio work, Our windows done, my.
Speaker 3: World, reason the dust only good, babs all down. I
Speaker 3: don't much, but yeah I'm not ill and what I
Speaker 3: want It don't matter where.
Speaker 1: This is the pickup.
Speaker 3: Hi, guys, it's the pick up with Britt Hockley and
Speaker 3: Laura Burn.
Speaker 2: What's got your giggling over there?
Speaker 4: Oh? God, don't even the conversation we just said about
Speaker 4: if there was an apocalypse and what would we do, well.
Speaker 3: We just discovered that Grace, our producer, would be absolutely
Speaker 3: useless in an apocalypse.
Speaker 2: She said she'd rather lay down and give up than fight, which.
Speaker 4: I founds interesting because if there's an apocalypse, I'm gonna fight.
Speaker 3: It's funny that you say you find that interesting, But
Speaker 3: I like no offense, Grace. But I I consider that
Speaker 3: you would probably do exactly that I should.
Speaker 2: I do think that I can see it happened. I
Speaker 2: just think if the situation was so dire, like I don't, I.
Speaker 1: Just don't have it in me to keep fighting.
Speaker 2: I'm tired, I'm done. Do you want me go?
Speaker 4: Would you even try, like fight one zombie or would
Speaker 4: you just be like no?
Speaker 2: What it's too much.
Speaker 4: I would maybe try for a brief period to go
Speaker 4: live in the woods away from it, but the second
Speaker 4: it got really hard, i'd be like, you.
Speaker 1: Know what, I'm actually out.
Speaker 2: Would you fight, Laura? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Like not, Well, I'm pretty poorly skilled after having kids,
Speaker 3: Like I used to be.
Speaker 1: Really fit, because now you're running your we literally I used.
Speaker 3: To be really fit, and I think I could do
Speaker 3: quite well in a post world apocalypse, but now, after
Speaker 3: having two kids, not enough sleep, I've lost all skills.
Speaker 2: I reckon i'd be really good.
Speaker 1: You would be.
Speaker 2: I reckon. You gave me some nun chucks and some stuff.
Speaker 2: I reckon I be borderline ninja.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I used to say?
Speaker 3: So this is a this is a very rogue tangent.
Speaker 3: But I studied basket making at university.
Speaker 2: Okay, so I don't want Laura on my team. If
Speaker 2: there's a zombie, you.
Speaker 1: Might need a basket, and I could make one so great.
Speaker 3: To put my weapons in my nunchucks, Laura, I made
Speaker 3: this basket, Brittany, to put on the zombies heads.
Speaker 2: What's the basket gonna do?
Speaker 3: I think a basket would come in for handy. What
Speaker 3: if you're fishing you need to forage and.
Speaker 2: Collect the fighting for your life. You can't fish? Do
Speaker 2: you still need food? Do you know how hard it
Speaker 2: is to fish? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Anyway, Look, we've got a big show for you, guys.
Speaker 3: Make me a.
Speaker 2: Fishing rod, not a basket.
Speaker 3: You know you might not listen to us for life lessons,
Speaker 3: but coming up there is an Australian a woman who's
Speaker 3: just turned one hundred years old, and she has some
Speaker 3: very important life lessons to impart on all of us.
Speaker 3: They're very sweet and we're gonna be talking about a day.
Speaker 2: Happy birthday, Katie.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: Also the song for the pick me up.
Speaker 4: Song to get you moving in case you haven't already
Speaker 4: moving with our zombie.
Speaker 2: Chat, it's cut and move Give it Up? Do you
Speaker 2: know this song? Do I know this song? Baby? Give
Speaker 2: it up?
Speaker 1: Give it up, Baby give it up?
Speaker 4: Well, yous does in the zombie poo.
Speaker 3: Now we have such a feel good story for you today.
Speaker 2: There is a woman.
Speaker 3: Her name is Betty Woodhams and she has just recently
Speaker 3: turned one hundred years old.
Speaker 4: She actually looks incredible. She doesn't she undy's giving sixty
Speaker 4: five dracon I don knows great.
Speaker 3: She's definitely been punching some vitamin, that's for sure.
Speaker 2: She always wears a hat, she said, So I really
Speaker 2: love this.
Speaker 3: I read this article like just the other day, and
Speaker 3: I thought it was very sweet, because often you get
Speaker 3: some real batty advice from people who have made it
Speaker 3: to the old century. But I think Betty's advice around
Speaker 3: how to live life and how to lean into like
Speaker 3: the really great moments of life is something that we
Speaker 3: can all take a bit of advice from. One of
Speaker 3: the quotes that she had to say was her happiness
Speaker 3: in life over the last century has been about great friends,
Speaker 3: a balanced diet, no regrets, and always wearing a hat.
Speaker 3: She says, try to stay happy even when things may
Speaker 3: seem like they are getting the better of you. There
Speaker 3: really is something good in everything. Relaxing with a glass
Speaker 3: of wine at dinner or enjoying the odd champagne with
Speaker 3: a friend or two always.
Speaker 2: Helps as well.
Speaker 4: Sounds like she's really lived alive. Like she's just saying friends, wine, chocolate.
Speaker 4: That sounds brilliant. But she always, she said, she has
Speaker 4: like really good food too. So she said, I eat
Speaker 4: everything more chocolate than I should. I drink full cream
Speaker 4: milk as well, and wine with dinner every single night.
Speaker 4: Go off, Betty, Betty, go off. I have not had
Speaker 4: full cream milk. Do you know this is my problem?
Speaker 4: I'm gonna diet fifty. I've not had full cream milk
Speaker 4: my entire life. I've never drunk milk.
Speaker 3: I don't think full cream milk is the elixa to
Speaker 3: whether you make it to a hundred or not bred
Speaker 3: because you gastro So I'm gonna say no calcium for
Speaker 3: strong bones.
Speaker 2: That's really important for aging.
Speaker 3: The reason why I liked this is because I think
Speaker 3: often we get so caught up in stuff as where
Speaker 3: like in our thirties or our forties or our fifties,
Speaker 3: and the things that you worry about are not the
Speaker 3: things that matter when you make it to ripe old age,
Speaker 3: if you're lucky enough to make it to that age.
Speaker 3: And like her talking about how she's enjoyed all different
Speaker 3: kinds of food, how she's been able to enjoy her
Speaker 3: life without it being about the certain way that she
Speaker 3: looked or how she presented to other people. You know,
Speaker 3: when you're in your thirties, you look back on your
Speaker 3: twenties and you go, God, I wish I appreciated how
Speaker 3: hot I was in my twenties, and when you're in
Speaker 3: your forties, you no, But if she's true, because like,
Speaker 3: have you seen me in my twenty When you're young,
Speaker 3: you can never appreciate like how lucky you are to
Speaker 3: be the version of yourself that you are then, And
Speaker 3: it's only with the beauty of hindsight that you go,
Speaker 3: oh wow, Like you know, I wish I had the
Speaker 3: ability to appreciate those years more.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember some advice that I heard from somewhere.
Speaker 4: I think of someone famous. I don't think anyone told
Speaker 4: it to me. It's like, if you're not going to
Speaker 4: care about it or remember it, or it's not going
Speaker 4: to be an issue in five years, don't let it
Speaker 4: be an issue now. And I think that that is
Speaker 4: really rings true when you think of the things that
Speaker 4: get you down, like sometimes think of how much getting
Speaker 4: stuck in traffic in the morning or road rage.
Speaker 2: You think of how much I can throw you off
Speaker 2: for your whole day.
Speaker 4: It's such a stupid little thing when you think about it.
Speaker 4: Are you going to think about it next week or
Speaker 4: in five years? No, but we do let ourselves dwell
Speaker 4: on it.
Speaker 3: But also imagine getting to one hundred years old. And
Speaker 3: being able to confidently say that you don't have any
Speaker 3: regrets about how you live life, Like what a joy
Speaker 3: that is. I had a really interesting conversation recently with
Speaker 3: Dave Hughes who so many of you will know Hughesy.
Speaker 3: It was just an I'm a celebrity, get me out
Speaker 3: of here, and when I was over there in Africa,
Speaker 3: we were on a bus trip on the way back
Speaker 3: from shooting one day and he said, like, one of
Speaker 3: the best things about him doing comedy is that it's
Speaker 3: given him this incredible sense to be able to really
Speaker 3: appreciate when life doesn't go to plan and when life
Speaker 3: is actually a little bit shit, because great things can
Speaker 3: still come from it, like whether it's funny content or
Speaker 3: turning it into a skit. There's always moments from every
Speaker 3: single thing that you experience in life that you can
Speaker 3: look at from a positive way, even if it is
Speaker 3: totally not what you had planned for your life, and
Speaker 3: even if it's not in any way a good experience,
Speaker 3: but there's often this little silver slither lining in there
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 1: You know what else I love or other quote, I love,
Speaker 1: oh God, eat, pray.
Speaker 2: Love, No, You're just on the edge of my tongue.
Speaker 2: Oh we're we're all waiting or you threw me hang
Speaker 2: on one's risk it for the biscuit. But that's not
Speaker 2: what I was thinking. No, Oh, I've got it.
Speaker 4: Great life isn't a dress rehearsal. It's the show. This
Speaker 4: is the show.
Speaker 2: Now, there's no dress rehearsal. There's no second chance. It's like,
Speaker 2: you got to live your life.
Speaker 4: But before we wrap this up, I do want to
Speaker 4: say the best part about this for me is when
Speaker 4: you think, like, how would I spend my hundredth birthday,
Speaker 4: she went and did her favorite thing to do in
Speaker 4: the world, which is go plant shopping at Bunnings. And
Speaker 4: I just think that that is the most wholesome, beautiful thing,
Speaker 4: And so I think that's what you would do if
Speaker 4: you're a hundred lo I do it now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'll do that for my fortieth.
Speaker 2: It's coming up next year. So last week, if you.
Speaker 4: Listened, we were discussing Benny Blanco, who is Selena Gomez's fiance.
Speaker 4: We were discussing his like weird Valentine's Day gift that
Speaker 4: he gave Selena where he filled a bathtub.
Speaker 1: Of cheese cheese.
Speaker 4: But what's it called like that really fake American.
Speaker 2: No, it's Questo cheese.
Speaker 4: He filled a bathtub with Queso cheese and then he
Speaker 4: like led her to it with Dorito's.
Speaker 2: It was really weird thing.
Speaker 4: Well, this week he's back in the media for something
Speaker 4: a little bit different. Still involves the bathroom, but he's
Speaker 4: talking about his shower habits, or maybe even lack thereof.
Speaker 2: Have a listen.
Speaker 5: Okay, I might not get to shower every day, but
Speaker 5: when I do, when I feel like I deserve it,
Speaker 5: I'm in there for so long contemplating life. I sit
Speaker 5: down in every shower I go into. Have you ever
Speaker 5: cried in the shower? It's incredible? Do you cry in
Speaker 5: the shower? Sometimes you just have to have a good cry.
Speaker 2: He sounds bit manic, doesn't it.
Speaker 4: Okay, I was against the cheese bathtub. But what I
Speaker 4: will say is I do relate to Benny Blanco in this.
Speaker 4: There's nothing I lot more in my life. My fiancee
Speaker 4: Ben knows is than a shower. I will shower multiple
Speaker 4: times a day. I know this isn't great. If there's
Speaker 4: water restrictions, I'll stick to them, but I have long
Speaker 4: shower life.
Speaker 1: She's just saying, for a disclaimer.
Speaker 4: And I have a water tank, a rain tank that's
Speaker 4: also a lie that's heated.
Speaker 2: By my solar panels.
Speaker 4: And I will sit down in the shower and it's
Speaker 4: my favorite time to think. I sit on the ground
Speaker 4: and I let the water run over me, and sometimes
Speaker 4: I just press my head against the shower wall. If
Speaker 4: you walked in on me, you think that something was dire.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I don't need to walk in on you.
Speaker 3: I know that you need therapy. That's different, okay, don't
Speaker 3: it's my time where it's something.
Speaker 2: About feeling safe four walls around you.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's something like being back in the womb because
Speaker 3: it's like hot, warm way and you're in a like
Speaker 3: the fetal position crying.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's similar.
Speaker 3: Firstly, i'm surprised that we're talking about Benny Blanco twice
Speaker 3: in two weeks.
Speaker 2: That was a real wildcard for me.
Speaker 1: Secondly, I don't get it. I would never see.
Speaker 2: You don't get it because you don't shower.
Speaker 1: I do show you don't. I shower more than heater.
Speaker 4: You shower your feet in the bathroom sink. That is
Speaker 4: the truth. But I also shower at least once a day.
Speaker 4: There's no way I'm going for twenty four hours without
Speaker 4: a shower. Like I shower every single day. I'm a
Speaker 4: morning shower.
Speaker 3: Love to get up have a shower at like five am,
Speaker 3: six am. I just sometimes I'm so tired in the
Speaker 3: evening that I can't be bothered to shower, so.
Speaker 1: I just wash the essentials.
Speaker 4: It doesn't check out if you're only showering once a day.
Speaker 4: It should be nighttime so you can go to your
Speaker 4: bed clean. I know, I feel like you're doing it backwards.
Speaker 4: You're going to bed with poop particles on you, You're
Speaker 4: going to bed with dirt germs, and you're putting them
Speaker 4: in your clean bear.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it upsets my husband quite a bit. He's like,
Speaker 3: just go and have a shower. But I'm like, it's
Speaker 3: eleven o'clock.
Speaker 1: At nine, I'm so tired.
Speaker 4: It's also weird to me that he made the point
Speaker 4: of saying, like, I don't get to shower every day,
Speaker 4: but when I do, what.
Speaker 1: Are you doing? No, he said, when I deserve it.
Speaker 1: You don't have to earn a shower pal. Everyone can
Speaker 1: have one.
Speaker 3: You've got enough money, you've married to see you, you're
Speaker 3: all billionaire.
Speaker 1: You deserve a shower more than anybody.
Speaker 2: Go and have one.
Speaker 3: You also just coverage yourself in fond cheese last week.
Speaker 3: Please go and have a shower.
Speaker 1: The match cheese.
Speaker 4: What do you think constitutes deserving a shower like earning
Speaker 4: a shower? What do you think he has to do
Speaker 4: that day, like heavy lifting, some sort of manual work.
Speaker 2: Or do you think he has to achieve something in
Speaker 2: his life?
Speaker 1: No, I think he's look by the sounds of things.
Speaker 3: Showering is a very emotional process for this man, and
Speaker 3: so he probably needs to have I don't know, gone
Speaker 3: through something, But I don't think that that's how we
Speaker 3: need to face a shower. I do not have enough
Speaker 3: time in my morning or in my day to sit
Speaker 3: down on the floor of my shower cry and contemplate life.
Speaker 3: I have two kids that are sitting there at the window,
Speaker 3: going Mummy, I didn't wein my nappy last night. That's
Speaker 3: literally the conversation that happened this morning whilst I was
Speaker 3: trying to have a shower.
Speaker 4: No, you can stand and cry. We understand. You don't
Speaker 4: have time to sit and cry.
Speaker 2: We got it.
Speaker 1: There's always time, britt. I have a question for you.
Speaker 3: If you were gifted a scratchy and you won a
Speaker 3: lot of money off the back of it. Do you
Speaker 3: think that there is an expectation to share the winnings
Speaker 3: of that scratchy or the lotto with the person who gave.
Speaker 2: You the tickets.
Speaker 4: Oh, I've thought about this many times? Actually, how many times?
Speaker 1: If you want to scratchy? No more than like seven by.
Speaker 2: No, I just dream about the day. But I think
Speaker 2: it depends on two things. Who gave it to you
Speaker 2: and how much was one? Do you think so?
Speaker 4: If I give you a lottery ticket Laura for a birthday,
Speaker 4: you win forty million dollars and you don't give me
Speaker 4: something that I'm pierced off. But if you win ten
Speaker 4: thousand dollars, I'd just be stoked for you and wouldn't
Speaker 4: want anything.
Speaker 2: I'd be like cool, because it's that's a big amount.
Speaker 2: But it's not going to go buy you a house.
Speaker 2: It's not life.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: But if you're winning like a millions of bucks and
Speaker 4: you were that selfish that you don't give me anything back,
Speaker 4: then I'd be I'd probably cancel the radio show.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, look I wouldn't care because I'd have forty
Speaker 3: million dollars.
Speaker 2: So I'd be pretty hot.
Speaker 1: I'd be pretty happy about it.
Speaker 3: Well, look, the reason why this has come up is
Speaker 3: because there is a family who has been ripped apart
Speaker 3: over a scratchy. Basically, what happened is at Christmas time,
Speaker 3: this twenty two year old guy who was hosting Christmas
Speaker 3: at his house, they had bad Santa, you know where
Speaker 3: you do like the Santa Christmas.
Speaker 2: Swap my secret Santa.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Secret Santa.
Speaker 3: But basically you can kind of swap it around, and
Speaker 3: you can steal other people's gifts as well, and it's
Speaker 3: usually like a bad center is like a terrible gift
Speaker 3: that you get given. Now, the eighty five year old
Speaker 3: grandmother had given these two scratches and they were like
Speaker 3: super cheap.
Speaker 2: What were they?
Speaker 3: Ten dollars scratches. Now he won forty thousand dollars off
Speaker 3: the back of it, and he did decent. Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: a lot of money. Forty thousand dollars of a ten
Speaker 3: dollars scratchy.
Speaker 2: You are literally winning. You're up.
Speaker 3: So he didn't tell his family straight away because he
Speaker 3: was worried that his family would have an verse reaction
Speaker 3: to it or expect something from it. You know, Eventually,
Speaker 3: came out that he'd won this money, and he decided
Speaker 3: to give each person who was at the Christmas party
Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty dollars, which still worked out to
Speaker 3: be quite a sum once you took everyone to account.
Speaker 3: This has ripped apart his family, with them calling him selfish,
Speaker 3: them calling him cruel, and saying that he is, you know,
Speaker 3: not doing the right thing by not sharing this money equally.
Speaker 1: And I don't agree.
Speaker 3: I think if you win something off the back of
Speaker 3: a present that you've been given, there shouldn't be an
Speaker 3: expectation that you evenly share it with everyone who was there.
Speaker 4: Okay, this is different because firstly, I do think he's
Speaker 4: a bit selfish if he's not given his eighty two
Speaker 4: year old grandma who bought him eighty two. She's not
Speaker 4: like she might not even be able to have a
Speaker 4: retirement fund. Who knows, anyway, That's my first thought. The
Speaker 4: other thing in this particular situation that changes things is
Speaker 4: if the idea of this bad Santa. It's not just
Speaker 4: a Chris Kringle, right, It's like you get a gift.
Speaker 2: And that's it, that's your gift. But this one is
Speaker 2: like you can steal people's gifts.
Speaker 4: So if I I had the forty thousand dollars and
Speaker 4: then someone took it from me, then I would be like, bro,
Speaker 4: you've got to get know.
Speaker 3: In my mind, scratchies are like a lazy present, right,
Speaker 3: and ninety nine point nine percent of scratchies result in
Speaker 3: absolutely nothing. But in the instance that it results in something,
Speaker 3: then that should be the person who got given it
Speaker 3: as a gift, like that is their thing because all
Speaker 3: odds are against them that they're going to get anything.
Speaker 3: So it's like such a joy and an unexpected thing
Speaker 3: that they got something out of that Scratchyet.
Speaker 4: But imagine the poor person there that literally had that
Speaker 4: life changing forty thousand dollars in their hand and then
Speaker 4: they're about to open it and someone took it from you.
Speaker 2: You'd be so dirty.
Speaker 3: And I never know they might have been the ones
Speaker 3: who swapped it out themselves. We have a bit of
Speaker 3: an urban story legend in our family. So my two
Speaker 3: grandparents growing up, my grandparents on my dad's side and
Speaker 3: my grandparents on my mom's side, had a little bit
Speaker 3: of a rift over a winning lottery ticket. So the
Speaker 3: story goes both sets of grandparents went in on buying
Speaker 3: a lottery ticket together and they chose their numbers, but
Speaker 3: my dad's parents held on to the lottery ticket and
Speaker 3: so everyone was waiting the lottery calms. It gets drawn
Speaker 3: and my mum's parents find out that they have won
Speaker 3: the lotto right a ticket has won much Apparently it
Speaker 3: was like forty thousand dollars then, which was so long
Speaker 3: ago that it would be like winning hundreds of thousands
Speaker 3: of dollars, like it was a lot of money for
Speaker 3: them back in the day. But my dad's parents said
Speaker 3: that they had bought other lottery tickets in the same draw,
Speaker 3: and my nan had never written the numbers down, So
Speaker 3: my nana felt entitled to some of this money and
Speaker 3: felt like that they weren't being honest, and it just
Speaker 3: completely ripped the two sides of the family and their
Speaker 3: friendships apart.
Speaker 2: Who do you believe?
Speaker 3: I have no idea, And I also like, bless my
Speaker 3: mum's mum, you know, rest in peace, but like I
Speaker 3: know that she can hold a grudge real bad.
Speaker 1: So part of me is like, I don't know who
Speaker 1: to believe.
Speaker 3: But that would be a really tricky situation, especially if
Speaker 3: you did go in on one shared ticket, but then
Speaker 3: you bought multiple other tickets for yourself.
Speaker 2: And you don't know which one was the original one
Speaker 2: that you bought.
Speaker 3: How do you navigate that? Do you share it or
Speaker 3: do you keep it to yourself? They had a lovely pool.
Speaker 4: Honestly, if I win lotto, I'm not telling a soul,
Speaker 4: there'll be signs, but I will not tell.
Speaker 2: You I will. I may have twenty five dogs and
Speaker 2: live on it.
Speaker 4: You super you got the Maldives, But I'm not telling
Speaker 4: anyone to.
Speaker 3: Be like, really, wow, you must have really negotiated a
Speaker 3: different contract to me.
Speaker 1: Be well done.
Speaker 4: I've got gold grills in my tea.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't think that there's an obligation to share, but
Speaker 3: everyone says that they would. When push comes to shove
Speaker 3: and you're actually in the situation, I wonder how most
Speaker 3: people would.
Speaker 4: I'd share with you if you promise me now, you'd
Speaker 4: share with me. Yeah, I'll share with you, sure, Pinky?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 1: Well that isn't it from us today?
