Speaker 1: Laura and come on in.
Speaker 2: Girls.
Speaker 3: Hello everybody, Happy hump day, everyone hoping you've had a
Speaker 3: wonderful day and this is your time to shine.
Speaker 4: It's three pm. It's the pick up and that's what
Speaker 4: we're here to do.
Speaker 5: Nice.
Speaker 2: Wow, you sound like a motivational speaker, Bride, Well, that's
Speaker 2: what that's our job, Laura.
Speaker 5: We pick people. Are you just like Tony Robbins?
Speaker 4: Hasn't even canned a bit? Tony Robbins?
Speaker 5: Okay, has he? Because I kind of like him the motivation.
Speaker 1: This is the generational gap that we worry about.
Speaker 5: It is actually so true.
Speaker 2: Tony Robins is a massive American motivational speaker, the first.
Speaker 4: Of his kind, like the world leader, I should say.
Speaker 2: And the fact that I'm explaining this to you makes
Speaker 2: me feel so old.
Speaker 1: See, I'd reference inspirational speaker as Gretathornberg. Pepper Pig.
Speaker 2: We've banned Pepper Pig in our household because she's so
Speaker 2: mean to her.
Speaker 5: She constantly calls a dad fats and I don't he's
Speaker 5: a pig. Yeah, but she's like daddy. Daddy has a
Speaker 5: fat belly. She's a little she's not nice.
Speaker 4: She hangs up at our friends and stuff. She's really mean. Yes,
Speaker 4: I just don't answer your call.
Speaker 2: As the parent in the room, I'm very passionate about
Speaker 2: Pepper Pig and I think she's not particularly nice to
Speaker 2: the people that she hangs out with.
Speaker 1: All right, enter Pepper Pig, Pepper's dud. Welcome to Wednesday everyone,
Speaker 1: but listen coming up now, this will shock you. We're
Speaker 1: talking about one of the biggest stars in the world
Speaker 1: at the moment. They've decided to renew their vows. As
Speaker 1: a lot of celebs do. It's a real in thing
Speaker 1: right to be like, we love you so much, we
Speaker 1: renew our vows. They've chosen to fly to Australia to
Speaker 1: do it here of all places. After this, let's go
Speaker 1: start the pick up Wednesday afternoon around Australia. Welcome to
Speaker 1: the show. If you're a pickup fanatic at picking up
Speaker 1: a night pickups, our fans are called pickuppers.
Speaker 5: I don't think they are.
Speaker 4: We've never called them a pickup or are well?
Speaker 5: They are now pickers?
Speaker 1: Yeah, picks cut but sorry is it? If you were
Speaker 1: a picker, you'll know that Every Monday we do a
Speaker 1: segment called Pickup put Down and guess what, guys, management
Speaker 1: love it so much, we're now doing it twice a week.
Speaker 1: Picks all the big topics of the week that we're
Speaker 1: all talking about at work. But week, Yeah, how do
Speaker 1: I rebrand this the topics that you talk about twice a.
Speaker 5: Week all around the country.
Speaker 1: Everyone, I bring to the girls and you decide whether
Speaker 1: or not we carry on the conversation, we keep talking
Speaker 1: about it, or we snuff it out. It's a midweek
Speaker 1: check in. Okay, So ladies pick up or put down?
Speaker 1: Scary movies.
Speaker 5: Pick up, put down?
Speaker 2: Oh no, I love them, but I feel like that
Speaker 2: we need to probably get a bit more specifica with this.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, they're kind of having a resurgence because Long Legs
Speaker 1: is in cinemas. People are talking about seeing it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the Nicholas Cage horror. It's apparently being called the
Speaker 1: creepiest and scary movie of all time. They've described it
Speaker 1: as the Silence of the Lambs meets Hereditary.
Speaker 4: I hate scary movies.
Speaker 3: I gets so scared that I can't even watch scary movie,
Speaker 3: which was like The piss Takes. It's the comedy, it's satire,
Speaker 3: it's comedy of all the scary movies.
Speaker 4: It's like an amalgamation.
Speaker 3: And I can't even watch that because the funny satire
Speaker 3: version still scares me. I feel like Nicholas Cage has
Speaker 3: not had a good movie since Connair.
Speaker 5: Is that a horrible thing to know?
Speaker 1: A generational gap? What is connae?
Speaker 5: Oh my god, conn Air was amazing. Even producer Grace.
Speaker 1: Is we're the same age.
Speaker 3: The air is like one of the like a forest
Speaker 3: Gump toll me no Forrest Gump run forest.
Speaker 5: Ye, so conn run. It's like some criminals take over
Speaker 5: an aeroplane. They're in the air. He has to.
Speaker 2: It's a whole thing love hijacking, a hijack, that's it.
Speaker 2: Oh god, connors, pick up, put down, moving on. Renewing
Speaker 2: your vows every year.
Speaker 5: Oh I can't even get married.
Speaker 3: Yes, I haven't even walked down and had vow once,
Speaker 3: so I can't be on board with renewing them.
Speaker 5: It sounds like one for the privilege.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you've got the money to renew your
Speaker 2: ours every year, kind of nice, very nice to take
Speaker 2: some time out to say nice things about your husband
Speaker 2: if you still like them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, I mean wife in this case. G Flip
Speaker 1: and Kraschelle Strauss from selling Sunset superstars have renewed their
Speaker 1: vows and they've chosen Australia. They got married in Vegas
Speaker 1: a year ago. G Flip said that we planned to
Speaker 1: do a ceremony every single year. Why would you do
Speaker 1: it just once? They did it in Australia last week.
Speaker 2: You would also hope that after one year of marriage
Speaker 2: you still felt the same.
Speaker 5: Way as you did last year.
Speaker 2: Like it's I understand when people do the ten year
Speaker 2: marriage renewals, but it's also because often after a decade
Speaker 2: you might feel a bit differently about them.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Also cute that they just said, we love each
Speaker 3: other so much? Why would you do alright?
Speaker 1: Finally let you love pick up put down. The official
Speaker 1: Australian Olympics uniform image here described it for those listening.
Speaker 3: It's like a long netball skirt thing that goes past
Speaker 3: the knees at that awkward length, like you're at a
Speaker 3: private school and you don't know what to do with it.
Speaker 3: And then it's attached to a swimsuit leotard and it's
Speaker 3: the skirt.
Speaker 4: For me, that skirt thing has to go.
Speaker 2: So the top half looks like Speedo's I thought though
Speaker 2: it was swimmers with a skirt over the top, but
Speaker 2: it is actually just a one piece. And there's been
Speaker 2: there's been a couple of Olympic athletes that have come
Speaker 2: out on social media who are absolutely mocking it.
Speaker 5: The Matilda's ridiculous.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the football girls, Matilda girls, they've come out being
Speaker 3: like pretty much in a nice way, like what is
Speaker 3: this thing?
Speaker 1: I'd love to source a pair and we get Brittain, Laura,
Speaker 1: producer Grace to wear it for a show.
Speaker 5: Why don't you wear it for a show, Mitch, let's
Speaker 5: get three.
Speaker 1: Pairs and now we'll all wear it for a show.
Speaker 1: I mean, everyone is talking about the Olympics, right, the Games.
Speaker 3: I actually have a friend that is at the Olympics now,
Speaker 3: she's an athlete there and she's sort of spilling the
Speaker 3: tea like the inside.
Speaker 5: Of goss and it's not what you think. Really.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I think everyone is interested in the Olympics.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, absolutely yeah.
Speaker 1: All right, well are we going to expose the dark
Speaker 1: underbelly of the paras Olympics.
Speaker 4: I'm going to tell you some things I think will
Speaker 4: probably shock you.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, after this, I'm the pickup.
Speaker 3: You're just joining us. We've been having a bit of
Speaker 3: a laugh. We probably shouldn't be laughing. But about some
Speaker 3: of the Olympic opening ceremony uniforms.
Speaker 5: The Matilda's Girls did.
Speaker 3: A TikTok reel that's gone viral because they're pretty ugly.
Speaker 2: When I first saw it, I thought that that's what
Speaker 2: they were actually going to have to play soccer in.
Speaker 5: And I was like, it's below the knee.
Speaker 2: I don't understand if you missed it though. It's kind
Speaker 2: of like a it looks like a speedo swimmer up
Speaker 2: top and a really long netball skirt down bottom.
Speaker 5: Net bully.
Speaker 1: It looks just awkward length.
Speaker 3: I was like, they're definitely going to get caught up
Speaker 3: and take a tumble. But big news happening. Selene Dion
Speaker 3: was just announced to be the singer at the opening ceremony.
Speaker 3: That is absolutely huge because she hasn't really performed in
Speaker 3: a long time. She's been really unwell. She's amazing, Like
Speaker 3: she is amazing. I'm not surprised that they asked her,
Speaker 3: But I think the thing that was the most surprising
Speaker 3: was how much money they are paying.
Speaker 5: To perform at the opening ceremony.
Speaker 4: You know what, it's not amazing how much they're paining her.
Speaker 3: It's amazing how much they're paying her in comparison to
Speaker 3: how much they paid the Olympians if they win a medal.
Speaker 3: So Celendon, she's a goddess, but she's been paid reportedly
Speaker 3: allegedly two million dollars.
Speaker 5: They get this.
Speaker 3: An Australian athlete, if they win a gold medal is
Speaker 3: only paid twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Only that's something else, Gorkap.
Speaker 4: Yes, it is.
Speaker 3: When you have trained for four years and you dedicate
Speaker 3: your life full time job. We expect you as a country,
Speaker 3: like we're so patriotic, we expect you to go out
Speaker 3: there and bring it back for us. If you work
Speaker 3: out how much that is over four years, twenty thousand dollars,
Speaker 3: you do the math.
Speaker 4: I can't do it. I don't have a calculat on
Speaker 4: me right now.
Speaker 5: Okay, But twenty.
Speaker 2: Twenty thousand dollars is Australia's payment if you win a
Speaker 2: gold medal. But every country has a different payment. This
Speaker 2: is something I didn't realize. So there's like different incentives
Speaker 2: across the world.
Speaker 3: US athletes thirty seven five hundred, so almost sixty thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: Singapore incredibly probably because they don't have that many people
Speaker 3: win a medal. They pay one point one million dollars
Speaker 3: to whoever wins a gold medal.
Speaker 2: I mean easy to say that, but if you're not
Speaker 2: going to win any gold medals, it doesn't matter. They
Speaker 2: could say you'll win twenty million dollars, but if there's
Speaker 2: no one winning, then you don't have to pay it.
Speaker 3: I found this really hard to believe, but we had
Speaker 3: our entire team here do.
Speaker 5: Their due diligence. One person, yeah, one person.
Speaker 3: The United Kingdom, Sweden and Norway don't pay anything to
Speaker 3: their winning athletes.
Speaker 5: But you know how they make all their money. It's
Speaker 5: how fans.
Speaker 2: No, it's how most most athletes make their money in
Speaker 2: Australia as well.
Speaker 5: They make it through endorsements. They make it through brand
Speaker 5: deals and.
Speaker 1: All that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2: You know, Puma and Nike and added Ass, all those
Speaker 2: sorts of things are how most of the athletes are
Speaker 2: making their big dollars.
Speaker 3: I have a friend that's there now, Darius Seville. She
Speaker 3: is an Australian tennis player. She's one of the women's
Speaker 3: top one hundreds. And if you want to go and
Speaker 3: get like an inside look on what's happening in the village.
Speaker 3: She's outing a lot of things that people probably don't
Speaker 3: know about on her Instagram. So she's putting things like,
Speaker 3: I mean, we all know they sleep on their cardboard beds, right, so.
Speaker 2: I don't know if people know. They only found this
Speaker 2: out this morning. The non bonk beds, which are like,
Speaker 2: if you haven't heard this, it's like a cardboard slattered
Speaker 2: bed that can only take the weight of one person.
Speaker 2: And there was a big rumor going around that the
Speaker 2: reason why they had these cardboard beds is to deter
Speaker 2: the athletes from from getting a freaking.
Speaker 5: O because they provide them all with condoms.
Speaker 4: That's false.
Speaker 3: These cardboard these cardboard beds are so strong that there's
Speaker 3: so many athletes showing them jumping on it, literally jumping
Speaker 3: on it doing One of the divers was doing like
Speaker 3: flips on it.
Speaker 1: I think I was trying to get a bunk bed
Speaker 1: in the studio. See if we can break.
Speaker 5: It for who, Mitch, for who is going to go
Speaker 5: on the bonk bed?
Speaker 1: Pick up?
Speaker 5: Okay, okay.
Speaker 3: Everyone stated that the person I dated not long ago
Speaker 3: had a cardboard bed.
Speaker 2: Apparently very like environmentally friendly, that's why people do it.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's the the rumor that's going around
Speaker 2: the Olympics saying that it's for, you know, deterring people
Speaker 2: from bonking. I actually think it's so that there's less
Speaker 2: waste they put that statement out, Laura. Sorry, I thought
Speaker 2: I was giving my tinfoil hab.
Speaker 5: I did, and I only read the headline. I thought
Speaker 5: I cracked it.
Speaker 1: Next up the show, we all have a real flaky
Speaker 1: friend in our life, one of those friends you come
Speaker 1: and hang out and they don't hang out. Well, listen,
Speaker 1: I have the ultimate friendship hack that will enable you
Speaker 1: to know exactly where your flaky friends are at all times.
Speaker 1: This will solve many friendships around Australia and I'm going
Speaker 1: to I'm going to unveil it to the world. Next,
Speaker 1: I have the ultimate friendship test that I have come
Speaker 1: up with and I've got.
Speaker 5: So many friends trademarking it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a Mitch Jury friendship test. Official.
Speaker 5: What have you done?
Speaker 1: Listen? We all know how hard it is to get
Speaker 1: hold of a friend that is super flaking. You invite
Speaker 1: them things and they don't turn up.
Speaker 2: The only person who knows how hard it is to
Speaker 2: get in touch with a friend who's super flakes is
Speaker 2: us because that is you, Mitch.
Speaker 5: We should be doing the test on you.
Speaker 4: Whatever you were a chocolate bar, you would hands down
Speaker 4: be a flake.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would happily. I own my flakingness. That's why
Speaker 1: this comes from within.
Speaker 3: You actually make up lies all the time. You actually
Speaker 3: do not own it in any capacity.
Speaker 1: Well, then New britt are going to love this, okay,
Speaker 1: because my new invention is define my friend app.
Speaker 5: That's invention.
Speaker 2: But I appreciate you trying to take claim to something
Speaker 2: that you didn't have anything to do.
Speaker 1: With to find my friend challenge. So I now challenge
Speaker 1: you listening to this in you two girls, to go
Speaker 1: to your text messages and find a friend that you
Speaker 1: text all the time. What you can do is if
Speaker 1: you hit their icon, hit their name, you go to
Speaker 1: their name at the top if this is an iPhone,
Speaker 1: and then you can hit the button that says requests location.
Speaker 1: And what that does is that sends them a prompt
Speaker 1: that says, Mitch Jury would love to see your location. Now.
Speaker 1: I did it ahead of time because it's a test
Speaker 1: to see if your friend really loves you and if
Speaker 1: they trust you. I did Producer Grace, who I'm very
Speaker 1: close personal friends with and who works on the show,
Speaker 1: And in two minutes flat, I got the response, Grace
Speaker 1: has accepted your location and has shared hers back with you.
Speaker 1: I now can see where she is twenty four seven.
Speaker 1: She can see where I am twenty four seven.
Speaker 5: Love that fear, It's very sweet.
Speaker 1: I also did it to Britney Hockley this morning, to
Speaker 1: which I got an instant denial, an instant decline, and
Speaker 1: Britt replied, why do you want this? No?
Speaker 5: I think I.
Speaker 4: Actually said, why are you trying to stalk me?
Speaker 5: Ey? You so obsessed with me?
Speaker 2: The only person who I I think you should have a
Speaker 2: problem with this is Mitch.
Speaker 5: Why did I not get one?
Speaker 1: I've just done it now.
Speaker 5: No, I don't want it now. I'm not going to
Speaker 5: share my location with you now.
Speaker 2: When you just said you sent it to your two
Speaker 2: dear friends, how was I left out of that equation?
Speaker 1: I really should have seen this one coming out.
Speaker 5: You just walked to that. Okay, I've got a new
Speaker 5: friendship challenge.
Speaker 2: It's you send it to all your friends, and then
Speaker 2: the person who gets left out knows where they stand.
Speaker 1: Oh, Laura, Because I knew Grace would say yes, and
Speaker 1: I knew britt would say no, what do you.
Speaker 4: Think I'd do a radio Why did you think I'd
Speaker 4: say not?
Speaker 1: I know you don't know how to use your phone.
Speaker 5: I don't know. I actually don't prefer messages.
Speaker 1: Is the test, Brittany Hackily Laura burn I now challenge
Speaker 1: you to find two friends and to request their live location,
Speaker 1: and we will check in tomorrow on the show to
Speaker 1: see if they've done.
Speaker 3: Maybe somebody that's not a really good friend, like, maybe
Speaker 3: let's test like a medium friend. Not because I feel
Speaker 3: like long lifelong friends are all going to say.

Speaker 3: the other side of the world and could be doing
Speaker 3: whatever he wants.
Speaker 5: See I'd be sending it to Ben.
