Speaker 2: All right, Australia is the newest thropple.
Speaker 3: Everybody, Laura and Larry see you on Saturday.
Speaker 4: Larry sounds great?
Speaker 2: Yeah, he goes all right.
Speaker 6: Next, brit what have you got? You've heard a very
Speaker 6: interesting interview with Jessica Simpson.
Speaker 4: Look, she's come out.
Speaker 5: In an interview and spark some controversy with one of
Speaker 5: her comments. It's basically stop talking about my weight. I'm
Speaker 5: over it, and I think the conversation is coming off
Speaker 5: the back of that is really interesting and probably something new.
Speaker 4: You can relate to it as someone.
Speaker 2: Who's lost about thirty kilos recently. I've got some points,
Speaker 2: some tips.
Speaker 4: Ye, most that was brain power.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about it next. On the pickup.
Speaker 6: Hey, Friday afternoon, Springer sprung on the pickup. How exciting Britt,
Speaker 6: Laura and Mitche rushing to Chemists warehouse this Father's Day,
Speaker 6: which is tomorrow, Big brand fragrance is at lowest prices.
Speaker 6: Chemist has great savings every day.
Speaker 5: I recently saw something you want to talk about about,
Speaker 5: the one only Jessica Simpson. Now we all know Jessica Simpson,
Speaker 5: and I feel like when you think of her, the
Speaker 5: first picture that comes to your head is that iconic
Speaker 5: picture of her in the short denim shorts from Duke
Speaker 5: of has.
Speaker 4: A little crop on baby.
Speaker 5: It's like it's like almost a photo that springs to
Speaker 5: mind when you think of Jessica Simpson. And that is
Speaker 5: because it's the photo of the media has used for
Speaker 5: the last twenty years. Well, Jessica Simpson has come out
Speaker 5: and it has sparked a conversation. She's spoken with Access
Speaker 5: Hollywood about the perpetual conversation surrounding her weight, because over
Speaker 5: the years, she's done a lot of yo yo diet
Speaker 5: in which she's talked about she gains weight, then she
Speaker 5: loses weight, but it's all anyone ever speaks about have
Speaker 5: listened to what she said.
Speaker 8: Well, now my kids seeing me being still scrutinized, and
Speaker 8: it's very confusing to them because they're like, well, I
Speaker 8: don't even understand yes, Like I why don't.
Speaker 4: They just say you look pretty?
Speaker 5: Mom?
Speaker 4: You look pretty?
Speaker 3: And she's lost a lot of weight though, well she
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, she's definitely gone from being in a
Speaker 3: bigger body to being very very thin.
Speaker 4: And it's kind of fluctuated throughout the years. Well, she
Speaker 4: lost at one.
Speaker 5: Point forty five kilos, but it's always her fluctuation is
Speaker 5: always surrounding the birth of a child. She's got a
Speaker 5: few children, and she's always spoken openly about her She's
Speaker 5: never hidden anything, but no one seems to speak about
Speaker 5: anything else.
Speaker 4: And I think she's had enough about it.
Speaker 5: She's like, why every time someone speaks to me about me,
Speaker 5: any headline it's about she's lost this weight, She's put
Speaker 5: this weight back on.
Speaker 4: Also, it must be so hard like she has.
Speaker 3: And I say this because as a mum of two
Speaker 3: little girls, like she has young girls, and she has
Speaker 3: young kids, and to think that your whole identity has
Speaker 3: become defined by your weight must be such a damaging
Speaker 3: conversation and something that she has to manage in her
Speaker 3: household with her children to protect them as well.
Speaker 9: Well.
Speaker 6: I'll be honest as someone who and I've been very
Speaker 6: open on this show about my weight loss journey, as
Speaker 6: someone who's lost almost thirty kilos in the last couple months,
Speaker 6: and I've been actively trying. I have noticed, and I've
Speaker 6: told you guys this, I've noticed a definite, a definite
Speaker 6: increase in comments on my weight and my size on
Speaker 6: social media, both publicly in the comments and both privately
Speaker 6: in the dms. The amount of people that think it
Speaker 6: is okay to message me and comment on my size,
Speaker 6: be it when I was bigger, when I was small,
Speaker 6: has blown me away.
Speaker 4: What's the skew of comments that you're receiving.
Speaker 6: Oh, bo, that's what's shocking, because your cell It's bizarre.
Speaker 6: The celebration of weight life. I've never been celebrated this
Speaker 6: much in my life, and it is for weight loss,
Speaker 6: and I didn't lose the weight to be celebrated. I
Speaker 6: didn't lose the weight for people to go, look how
Speaker 6: good you look. But on the flip side, I'm also
Speaker 6: getting a lot of messages. I'm getting a lot of messages.
Speaker 6: I got some this week from someone in the that
Speaker 6: is bigger in the plus size community, and they told
Speaker 6: me that they were disappointed in me sharing my weight
Speaker 6: loss journey on my platform or talking about it on
Speaker 6: the radio show because they felt like I was shaming
Speaker 6: the community that I was once a part of, which
Speaker 6: was which was a big being bigger.
Speaker 4: So that's Mitch.
Speaker 5: How does that make you feel when you read that
Speaker 5: and you know that you are making these changes for
Speaker 5: you and you're feeling like we see it in you,
Speaker 5: how good you feel and how happy you feel. How
Speaker 5: does it make you feel when someone goes and takes
Speaker 5: that away from you?
Speaker 6: It really plays with your mind. Because, let me tell
Speaker 6: you the honest truth. The reason I lost weight.
Speaker 2: I was happy.
Speaker 6: I was happy being a big boy. My size was okay,
Speaker 6: but I was unhealthy. I didn't feel good like I
Speaker 6: had sleep app now I have a brain condition. I
Speaker 6: was waking up. I was my relationship was in absolute turmoil.
Speaker 6: I split up with my boyfriend of five years. Everything
Speaker 6: was going wrong in my life and the one thing
Speaker 6: that I could take control of was losing weight. And
Speaker 6: I feel physically healthier, mentally healthier. And I did that
Speaker 6: for myself and I documented it because it made me
Speaker 6: feel good about myself.
Speaker 2: It should be okay to do.
Speaker 3: I just think we shouldn't have such an obsession around
Speaker 3: people's bodies.
Speaker 4: I mean, we've seen it recently with Jackie Oh.
Speaker 3: She has achieved so much in her career, she has
Speaker 3: achieved so much in her life, and the media has
Speaker 3: never been more obsessed than they are at the moment,
Speaker 3: and so much of that surrounds dramatic weight loss, and
Speaker 3: it just shows like, no matter what side of the coin,
Speaker 3: we are obsessed with how people look, and we are
Speaker 3: obsessed with how people lose weight.
Speaker 4: Yes, we want to know how you did it. We
Speaker 4: want to know whether it was healthy or unhealthy?
Speaker 2: Is it natural?
Speaker 4: Are they using a zen pic?
Speaker 3: We hear this conversation all the time, and I think,
Speaker 3: like it's that It's not only is it just like
Speaker 3: the compliments of like, oh my god, you look so good,
Speaker 3: You've lost so much weight. It's the inference of like, well,
Speaker 3: you didn't look good because you were bigger as well.
Speaker 6: I am all for body positivity, absolutely love it. And
Speaker 6: but my journey is my own. Jessica's journey is her own,
Speaker 6: and like I feel for her having kids. You know,
Speaker 6: I'm just lucky that it's me and my own world
Speaker 6: and my own journey. But it's the we have a
Speaker 6: big role to play in making bigger people feel okay.
Speaker 6: And I don't know, it's tricky.
Speaker 3: You never at one point said, you know what, I'm
Speaker 3: going to be the spokesperson for being in a larger body.
Speaker 3: Like that didn't happen, and so we should just have
Speaker 3: less expectations on people in the way.
Speaker 6: I'm a big boy, I got a tom I'm six
Speaker 6: foot three, I've got six inches of quaft hair guing.
Speaker 5: Oh you know that's what you're gonna say. All right, Well,
Speaker 5: look there's a country I'll tell you who. It's Austria,
Speaker 5: and they are offering free public transport. But there's one
Speaker 5: I'm going to tell you about it after the break.

Speaker 2: Be worldly, you know.
Speaker 6: I I love the fashion. I love the style. I
Speaker 6: do not and this is not true. I love the
Speaker 6: culture in Austria. You know what they're doing that I
Speaker 6: think this country could take a Please tell us, Okay.
Speaker 6: They have implemented a new rail system. I'm sure it's stuff.
Speaker 6: That's what they call it, and it is. It is
Speaker 6: new and it is improved and the government have installed
Speaker 6: a new initiative. The rail system is called came but thicket.
Speaker 6: If you get this new rail system's name tattooed on
Speaker 6: your body, this is initiative by the government, you will

Speaker 4: This is an excellent marketing tactic. It's terrible. No I
Speaker 4: like it. I've had some dumb tattoos in my time. Oh,
Speaker 4: this is ridiculous.
Speaker 5: So it's capitalizing on people that are having a hard
Speaker 5: time financially.
Speaker 4: Now they're what to make ends meet and get a
Speaker 4: free train.
Speaker 5: Try you got to have a tattoo of a train
Speaker 5: company on your body.
Speaker 3: Wait, they're literally using humans as walking billboards. Yeah, you're
Speaker 3: using people as though. Yeah, they are a commercial commodity.
Speaker 6: Lenora guest Wessler, Austria's crime minister who's a real person,
Speaker 6: offered the deal over the weekend at a music festival
Speaker 6: in Saint Poland. She said the first three people only
Speaker 6: to get the tattoo will get a pass entitling them
Speaker 6: to free travel.
Speaker 2: Isn't that exciting?
Speaker 6: And on average they'll save eight hundred and fifty two
Speaker 6: pounds a year if they catch the train every day.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm sorry, but they're only giving out three of
Speaker 3: these surely to every poor UNI student out there who
Speaker 3: just wants to get some free train.
Speaker 4: Like, just let anyone who gets this dumb tattoo get
Speaker 4: on the train.
Speaker 2: As does it have to be the same where it
Speaker 2: will be publicly seen? Like does it have to be
Speaker 2: on your neck? Or could you do it on a buttcheet?
Speaker 5: I actually am a clean skin just around.
Speaker 4: I have zero tattoos. Oh my god, stop at you
Speaker 4: guys are better than me.
Speaker 3: I have the stupidest tattoos that I got when I
Speaker 3: was in twenty I have this one on my wrist.
Speaker 3: What is that?
Speaker 4: It looks like a nightclub stamp.
Speaker 3: So when I was throughout my whole twenties, I would
Speaker 3: get stopped by, you know, friends, or if I'd met
Speaker 3: a guy and he'd be like, oh, where did you
Speaker 3: go last night? I got this in India and it's
Speaker 3: supposed to be a mendala, which is meant to be
Speaker 3: all about balance and centering yourself, and I got it
Speaker 3: off center because at the time I was like, nothing
Speaker 3: in life is balanced, eat, prey love, what a loserms?
Speaker 4: And it's also ugly and I can't cover it on
Speaker 4: my wrist.
Speaker 6: And you get nothing free, like in the kind of
Speaker 6: ticket you're getting free travel. So I want to know,
Speaker 6: thirteen one o sixty five, what do you get for
Speaker 6: free from having a tattoo.
Speaker 4: Yeah, surely there's not that many people, right, What would want?
Speaker 4: Do you want for free? Midge?
Speaker 5: Like, what's one thing you could pick? You have to
Speaker 5: get a tattoo, but you get for free free year.
Speaker 2: I would advertise the daily petrol prices.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'd get on my arm every day and then
Speaker 6: I'd get free petrol.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I reckon.
Speaker 3: There's people out there who've gotten QR codes tattooed onto them.
Speaker 4: There's gonna be a whole bit different things.
Speaker 6: Bentley, we've got l got a car. What did you
Speaker 6: get tattoed on you? What do you get for free?
Speaker 9: I got a bin chicken tattooed on me and I
Speaker 9: won an inflatable beIN chicken forgetting it?
Speaker 4: Amazing? And what have you done with that bin chicken?
Speaker 4: Was it a great investment?
Speaker 9: Not sure about that one, but it's very popular. I
Speaker 9: got on my ribs, but it's like the size of
Speaker 9: my hands, so.
Speaker 2: It's pretty big.
Speaker 4: Jeez, you moongus?
Speaker 3: Did it was size? Did to play a factor that?
Speaker 3: Did you choose for it to be that size?
Speaker 9: I actually wanted it to be quite smaller, but the
Speaker 9: tattoo insist. Tattoo ters insisted it being bigger so that
Speaker 9: you could get his little frowning eyebrow in it.
Speaker 5: Did you not think about if you really wanted a
Speaker 5: blow up inflatable bin chicken? Do you not think maybe
Speaker 5: I'd have gone bite off the internet for five dollars
Speaker 5: and not get a tattoo on my Body's the rest.
Speaker 4: Of my life?
Speaker 9: It would have been cheaper even, but then I wouldn't
Speaker 9: have had you know, the whole pride element that.
Speaker 2: Comes to it, well, this pride with that. All right,
Speaker 2: let's get out of here, guys,
