Speaker 2: Hello Monday's here, ladies, Hello everybody.
Speaker 3: How are you feeling?
Speaker 4: Mitch and Laura a little worse for wear after your
Speaker 4: fun run weekend?
Speaker 2: My my whole body hurts. Fourteen kilometers. I pushed the pram.
Speaker 5: Can we say it's not a funny man fourteen, it's
Speaker 5: a marathon. It's mitching the pram I pushed, Mitch, pretty funny.
Speaker 5: I mean I have to say I'm sore.
Speaker 1: I actually ran it. I think Laura was. I was
Speaker 1: rolling through.
Speaker 6: I was walking.
Speaker 2: It took me three hours to do fourteen. But you
Speaker 2: keep saying that you've ran a marathon. You've been talking
Speaker 2: about it for this whole week, being like I did
Speaker 2: a marathon.
Speaker 6: You did fourteen kilometers. It's just a very long walk.
Speaker 1: What's a marathon?
Speaker 6: Man is at a marathon? Like forty some on the gurers.
Speaker 3: No marathon is forty not hours forty two?
Speaker 1: Oh so I did it all right? A quarter marathon.
Speaker 6: You just did a fun run, Mitch was.
Speaker 5: There was nothing fun about it. You want to see
Speaker 5: the chafing in between my thighs. There's nothing fun about that.
Speaker 6: How fast did you do it?
Speaker 1: In at our forty show.
Speaker 6: It pretty good.
Speaker 1: Thank you for a big boy. Yeah, thanks so much.
Speaker 1: Thing now that is positive reinforcement.
Speaker 6: Okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Well, I had to push a toddler that needed to
Speaker 2: stop for snacks and pee breaks and all of the rest.
Speaker 1: It's Maddie Jay oh god. Yeah.
Speaker 6: He was also pushing our other daughter.
Speaker 4: More across what fun is and I didn't compete. Hay
Speaker 4: yuess he's coming into the show today. Guys, so you
Speaker 4: have fun Scottie Cam from the Block?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Can you believe it's been twenty years of the Block?
Speaker 2: Like that show has been around for so long.
Speaker 4: I actually cannot believe it because it means that I'm old.
Speaker 6: Maybe it's not twenty years. Maybe it's twenty seasons.
Speaker 2: Maybe they did some double dumping early on. Probably, I
Speaker 2: can't believe it.
Speaker 3: Laura just makes up fad.
Speaker 5: Speaking of double dumping. Next pickup, put down? Pooping in public.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's kind of set the internet a light
Speaker 5: over the weekend. I need to get your take on it. Girls,
Speaker 5: hold your thoughts, don't poop your pants.
Speaker 2: It's not the highlight of the week. There's so many
Speaker 2: other more interesting things happening in the news. But that's
Speaker 2: what you've pulled out.
Speaker 5: I'm sure we'll talk about the Olympics at some point,
Speaker 5: but mostly the poohing in public we're gonna tackle next
Speaker 5: here at the pickup.
Speaker 1: Welcome to Monday. It is a Monday. We need to
Speaker 1: start the week. We was there pick up.
Speaker 5: These are the big news stories of the weekend Britain, Laura.
Speaker 5: I bring them to you, I present them to you,
Speaker 5: and then you decide whether or not we pick them up,
Speaker 5: we keep talking about them, or we put them down,
Speaker 5: snuff them out, never to speak.
Speaker 1: Of them again.
Speaker 6: What have you got for us this week, Mitch, I've.
Speaker 5: Been scared going through all the big publications to get
Speaker 5: to this one.
Speaker 1: Pick up put down pooping in public?
Speaker 4: What can you just clarify if you mean like taking
Speaker 4: a dump on the show or in public toilet.
Speaker 1: We're not animals here with It's a civilized society.
Speaker 6: Where's this come from?
Speaker 5: New York City? A cafe in New York was pictured
Speaker 5: with a sign on their door. It said no poop,
Speaker 5: No to everything except for tinkle and small amounts of
Speaker 5: toilet paper. Our pipes can't handle it. The last time
Speaker 5: someone pooped, it cause damage and a lot of money,
Speaker 5: no pooping in our cafe.
Speaker 2: I want to know, how do you how do you
Speaker 2: police this? How does one police the pooping of patrons?
Speaker 3: It's not even policing.
Speaker 4: You cannot, in the same vicinity serve coffee and then
Speaker 4: tell someone that they can't do a poop.
Speaker 6: No, that's like it's like a cruel form of modern torture,
Speaker 6: isn't it.
Speaker 3: But I mean put it down.
Speaker 4: You cannot have a toilet and dictate what people do
Speaker 4: in that.
Speaker 5: I actually think there's laws that say you need to
Speaker 5: provide a bathroom if you're serving food and drink.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there is. And you also if you're
Speaker 2: a well, I mean it's an Australia. I don't know
Speaker 2: what the laws are in New York. But if you
Speaker 2: have a cafe, you can't say it's only for patrons.
Speaker 2: It's going to be open for public.
Speaker 5: And can I also say that there's nothing better than
Speaker 5: having that morning coffee and then feeling it start to
Speaker 5: work and taking yourself to a public don't think of a.
Speaker 3: Few things better than that.
Speaker 6: It is wrong.
Speaker 2: It is interesting though, I think that there's two kinds
Speaker 2: of people. There's people who absolutely will not pue at work.
Speaker 2: They will not poo in public, they will not go
Speaker 2: to public toilets. And then there's other people that have
Speaker 2: no issue whatsoever. Also, my daughter Marley, she will she
Speaker 2: will not do a pooh at daycare. She will wait
Speaker 2: and she will come home and bring it home and
Speaker 2: it will be an emergency.
Speaker 5: I would say, you know what, sorry, you need to
Speaker 5: learn to pooh.
Speaker 2: Akindy Well, I was like, she does not take after
Speaker 2: me because I'll do it anywhere.
Speaker 1: I don't care.
Speaker 3: You know who else cameo in public, Tristan mc manners.
Speaker 3: That was yeah, that was discovered on I'm a Celebrity. Yep,
Speaker 3: he he could. He won't let anyone know he's even
Speaker 3: doing a pooh.
Speaker 4: He'll save it all day until the dark of night,
Speaker 4: and then he crept out at night to do it.
Speaker 6: That is the it's so weird, like it's so natural.
Speaker 6: We all do it.
Speaker 2: I don't know why people are so like, why is
Speaker 2: there so much poos shaving?
Speaker 1: You pooh here at work? I know you do it.
Speaker 5: Stop because brute will say, I'm going to do a
Speaker 5: wi if it's we But if it's not a wee,
Speaker 5: she goes, I'm using the bathroom.
Speaker 4: But that doesn't embarrass me. I will happily pooh anywhere
Speaker 4: in the world like you have if you're well traveled.
Speaker 3: But maybe that's.
Speaker 4: Come from being so well traveled that like when you
Speaker 4: need to go, you need to go.
Speaker 3: I have no aversion to. If there's a toilet, I
Speaker 3: will use.
Speaker 6: That's what they are for everyone. Just embrace it. Spoiler, Yeah,
Speaker 6: take care of your bows.
Speaker 7: All right?
Speaker 5: Moving on, pick up, put down the Australian breakdancer ray Gun.
Speaker 7: Pick it up.
Speaker 2: I think bowed down to Regan. No, let's not about doubt.
Speaker 2: I think we can all collectively agree that her performance
Speaker 2: was terrible.
Speaker 1: Rowdown if you miss it, If you missed it.
Speaker 5: Raygun is the Australian breakdancer that performed over in the Games.
Speaker 1: Ever in Paris.
Speaker 5: It got so big over the weekend that even Adele
Speaker 5: performing in Munich had this to say on ray Gun,
Speaker 5: I have to ask.
Speaker 8: You because because it's it's all that me and my
Speaker 8: friends have been talking about last night after the show
Speaker 8: and today, I think it's the best thing that's happened
Speaker 8: in the Olympics the entire time. Did anyone see the
Speaker 8: break dancing lady's from the One Kiss?
Speaker 6: Have you seen it, guys see you. Of course fan
Speaker 6: hasn't seen it.
Speaker 8: Aaron Myndercussion is pissing himself laughing for thinking about it.
Speaker 4: Imagine coming so well known that Adele stops down in
Speaker 4: her concert to say your name.
Speaker 2: Look all it's all very unbelievable, especially the kangaroo hop
Speaker 2: and then the scissoring thing that she was doing on
Speaker 2: the ground.
Speaker 6: There was a lot of stuff happening.
Speaker 2: I think that there's been two schools of camp with this,
Speaker 2: Like some people have been really like some people are
Speaker 2: taking it so seriously and they've felt so personally victimized
Speaker 2: by the fact that she did a bad performance. And
Speaker 2: then on the other hand, now it feels like everyone's
Speaker 2: rallying around her because she got so much criticism that
Speaker 2: we feel like we have to protect our Australian raygun.
Speaker 1: Open invitation to come on the pick up. We will
Speaker 1: have you at any time, all right.
Speaker 5: Next joining us Scott Cam twenty seasons of the Block
Speaker 5: this season and a lot of drama around the new
Speaker 5: placement of the block.
Speaker 1: They're doing on an island.
Speaker 5: Big changes this season, so if you're not across it
Speaker 5: will get Scotty Cam to get us up to speed.
Speaker 1: Next on The Pickup.
Speaker 5: Listen premiering tonight at seven point thirty on Channel nine,
Speaker 5: a very special premiere of the Block. They are celebrating
Speaker 5: their twentieth season. I did say they're doing it on
Speaker 5: an island, Block Island and Phillip Island down to Victoria.
Speaker 5: The host has been doing it for eighteen of those
Speaker 5: twenty years, joins us. Now is Scott cam Welcome to
Speaker 5: the Pickup Scottie.
Speaker 7: Oh good ay, guys, here you go.
Speaker 3: I love Scott debunk this for me.
Speaker 4: You have been hosting for eighteen seasons, and we heard
Speaker 4: this rumor that you were originally discovered drinking a beer
Speaker 4: in a pub just like regular bloke when a producers
Speaker 4: like stumbled in and said, hey, we need a new host.
Speaker 3: Is there any truth today?
Speaker 7: Well, it's close to that, it's not quite true because
Speaker 7: actually it was twenty five years ago and there was
Speaker 7: a producer in the pub looking for a carpenter for
Speaker 7: a TV show to screen test. He was screen testing
Speaker 7: three or four or five carpenters, and he saw that
Speaker 7: I was chatting away and I was a carpenter, and
Speaker 7: I had the ud out of the front with a
Speaker 7: signwriting and all that sort of Thing and the Dog,
Speaker 7: and he wanted He asked me to do a screencap
Speaker 7: for a TV show called Backyard Blitz. Oh yeah, So
Speaker 7: I said no, that wasn't my go you know, I
Speaker 7: didn't know anything about television. So he rang me the
Speaker 7: next day off my ute sign riding, got my number,
Speaker 7: rang me the next day and he came to my building.
Speaker 7: So I did a screen test and I got the
Speaker 7: job on Backyard Blitz.
Speaker 3: That's insane. It's amazing the right place, right time.
Speaker 6: Isn't it?
Speaker 1: Twenty or eighteen?
Speaker 7: Twenty five years later? I've been doing the Block for
Speaker 7: eight ahen seasons because I've done about ten or so
Speaker 7: or more shows for Channel nine, Building related, most of
Speaker 7: them but some not. And the Block I started probably
Speaker 7: sixteen years ago.
Speaker 2: But so much has changed on the Block over the
Speaker 2: last twenty seasons. And I think we've seen this across
Speaker 2: all reality TV shows that over the years they've kind
Speaker 2: of lent a little bit more into the drama. And
Speaker 2: it was something I noticed on the last season of
Speaker 2: the Block that there was there was just a bit
Speaker 2: more friction and fighting between the contestants. Do you think
Speaker 2: that that drama is like it's something that's being manufactured
Speaker 2: at all, or do you think it's genuinely that the
Speaker 2: contestants are having such a tricky time dealing.
Speaker 1: With each other.
Speaker 7: Well, look, you know what, I just want to clarify
Speaker 7: that we don't manufacture drama on our show. Some shows
Speaker 7: do that, Yeah, and that's fine.
Speaker 8: We do not.
Speaker 7: Manufacture drama on the show. It's organic. It happens. And
Speaker 7: I think also it's just the style of person that
Speaker 7: goes on the Telly because back in the day, it
Speaker 7: was the first reality shows like The Block that were
Speaker 7: on air, so people didn't know what the outcome was,
Speaker 7: what to expect, And now people are there watching this
Speaker 7: style of television for twenty years. So the people that
Speaker 7: come on they want to maybe be famous, they maybe
Speaker 7: want to be influencers, you know, and so they're fighting
Speaker 7: for position or jocking for position.
Speaker 3: Scott, have you ever clashed with one of the contestants
Speaker 3: on or off screen?
Speaker 4: But like, there's got to be over eighteen seasons, there's
Speaker 4: got to be someone you just didn't get along with.
Speaker 7: Yeah. Absolutely, And it's not off the camera. It's always
Speaker 7: on camera. I don't you know, I certainly don't take
Speaker 7: anything home with me, but I'll let him know how
Speaker 7: I feel on camera, and I'm sure the folks at
Speaker 7: home understand how I feel because I wear my heart
Speaker 7: on the sleeve. I work hard. I've been doing it
Speaker 7: for a long time, and so I you know, one
Speaker 7: thing I am, you know, really a hard against is
Speaker 7: laziness on the show. Thousands and thousands of people come
Speaker 7: on the show, want to get on the show. And
Speaker 7: if you've got the opportunity to be on the show,
Speaker 7: so you've got to work hard and make every post
Speaker 7: a winner. And if you're not working hard and you're lazy,
Speaker 7: that really irks me because there's so many people that
Speaker 7: want to be there, and so I really call that
Speaker 7: out all the time.
Speaker 1: Scott, I want to ask, what's your take on the
Speaker 1: Logis this year?
Speaker 7: Is this week?
Speaker 1: This Sunday?
Speaker 5: Actually Gold LOGI everyone's talking about because you know, little
Speaker 5: Robert Irwin's nominated and there's controversy if he won it.
Speaker 5: Do you think if he win wins it, do you
Speaker 5: think as a gold LOGI win yourself well deserved or
Speaker 5: should it go to someone who's been in the industry
Speaker 5: for decades?
Speaker 7: Oh? I don't think you have to be in the
Speaker 7: industry for decades. I think it's based on your past
Speaker 7: year's work. You know, Robert's deserving. Everybody's deserving there, and
Speaker 7: it's a public vote, and you know, good on him.
Speaker 7: I can say that because I've got one, so it
Speaker 7: doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, where is it?
Speaker 6: Yeah, you've checked out?
Speaker 1: Where do we keep it? Actually? Where's the gold?
Speaker 7: LOGI it's in my dining room next to the silver
Speaker 7: and the twelve.
Speaker 5: And they'll get another line of this season, the twentieth
Speaker 5: season of the blog Philip Island. It's going to be
Speaker 5: a good one tonight, premiering seven thirty on Channel nine
Speaker 5: and nine.
Speaker 1: Now, Scott, thanks for joining the pickup.
Speaker 7: Hey, good on you guys.
Speaker 1: All right back after this on the Pickup.
Speaker 4: Mitch and Laura, I swear I am always putting my
Speaker 4: foot in it and getting in these like awkward situations.
Speaker 4: Just when I think that that's me done, I do it.
Speaker 3: Again, and I do it worse.
Speaker 2: You think it's usually because your mouth starts working and
Speaker 2: then you're like, what am.
Speaker 6: I saying it? D my brand?
Speaker 2: Catch up?
Speaker 4: I don't think stuff through for sure, Like I have
Speaker 4: an internal monologue that usually just comes out, but the funniest,
Speaker 4: most awkward thing happened to me on Friday, so I
Speaker 4: had the day off besides the radio in the afternoon,
Speaker 4: but the day was free, and so in the morning
Speaker 4: I got up early and I went to the gym,
Speaker 4: and I saw these two guys at the gym, These
Speaker 4: guys that they're just friends.
Speaker 3: But I know them enough that I see them around,
Speaker 3: but I don't know them.
Speaker 1: We're not close.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they're like not actually, they're not actually friends.
Speaker 2: They're just people that are you're kind of you know,
Speaker 2: you move through life and see them from time to time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And so one of them is like very fair
Speaker 4: with like not a lot of hair, and the other
Speaker 4: ones a bit bigger, a bit musci are quite tanned.
Speaker 3: Anyway, very particular looking. Leave the gym class.
Speaker 4: Then I go and have a sauna and I see
Speaker 4: them in a sauna, so I'm like, hey, like laugh whatever,
Speaker 4: say hi, coincidence. Walk down the street after to get
Speaker 4: a coffee. They're at the coffee shop. I say hey again,
Speaker 4: don't talk. I'm just like ahi, Like well, I was
Speaker 4: like wow three times already. About two hours later, I
Speaker 4: will pass them at another coffee shop and I make
Speaker 4: the joke.
Speaker 3: I look at them and I say, oh, well, one
Speaker 3: of us needs to get.
Speaker 6: A job, don't we.
Speaker 3: You know that old dad joke. Yeah, terrible, And I
Speaker 3: walk off and they laugh.
Speaker 4: I was just like yeah, because like we just kept
Speaker 4: running into each other everywhere, and I was like, you know,
Speaker 4: someone needs to work. So then later that day, when
Speaker 4: I'm driving to work to radio, and I can't believe
Speaker 4: I didn't tell you this, I was driving down the
Speaker 4: street and I saw them again, walking on the side
Speaker 4: of the street the same direction that I was going.
Speaker 3: So I was coming up behind them in the car
Speaker 3: and I was like, there's those guys again. I was like,
Speaker 3: how funny.
Speaker 9: So I wind the window down and poke my head
Speaker 9: out and yell at them, get a job like that,
Speaker 9: thinking that they'd be like, oh so funny, wave at me,
Speaker 9: and they turn around and it wasn't there.
Speaker 1: It was just it's just too strange.
Speaker 6: It's just two people go.
Speaker 4: For a walk, insane, and I wound the window down
Speaker 4: and abused them in their face on a Friday and
Speaker 4: told them to get a job.
Speaker 6: I am dead. There was so much traffic behind me
Speaker 6: that I couldn't stop.
Speaker 3: I couldn't stop to explain it. So I was like floundering,
Speaker 3: so I just sort of waved the way.
Speaker 1: So they caught up to you by the time you'd stopped.
Speaker 3: But then I was just like and the window doesn't
Speaker 3: got very fasty Now I was like.
Speaker 6: The two dudes and.
Speaker 2: Seeing Brittany Hunky take her window down and scream get
Speaker 2: a job.
Speaker 5: They'll be telling their friends. I think the bachelor Brittany
Speaker 5: Hay told me to get a job today.
Speaker 4: And do you know what the old me probably would
Speaker 4: have been able to get away with and say it
Speaker 4: wasn't me. But I've got orange hand, so it's really
Speaker 4: stand out, like.
Speaker 1: You know that it's me.
Speaker 6: What if they've just been made redundant. What if they
Speaker 6: were looking for.
Speaker 1: And it was during work hours, so they probably don't
Speaker 1: have a job.
Speaker 6: Well might they might work shift work? Bitch.
Speaker 4: I wanted to put it out here on a public
Speaker 4: forum so that because I feel really bad about it,
Speaker 4: in case they have lost their job or don't have
Speaker 4: a job. If you're listening and that was you, it
Speaker 4: was a mistaken identity, and I want to apologize.
Speaker 5: I know that feeling when you think you're about to
Speaker 5: like hit at home home run with a gages. You
Speaker 5: see them and your stomach would have gone, this is funny.
Speaker 5: Fourth time I've seen the god Day window down. I've
Speaker 5: got to get a job, because you know.
Speaker 3: You know the exact moment you would have laughed, you
Speaker 3: would have proked your head.
Speaker 1: Out laugh again.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think everyone's had a time though, where they've had
Speaker 2: full mistaken identity. Do you guys remember I tell this
Speaker 2: story a million years ago? But I was we were
Speaker 2: all at an event, and I was like rubbing my
Speaker 2: husband's back, Matt's back, and I was there for a
Speaker 2: long time to rubbing his back, and then all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, Tim Robards, who was the old old bachelor
Speaker 2: from a million years ago, turned around and he was like, Laura,
Speaker 2: what are you doing?
Speaker 6: Tom? Like Tim Robard's back back, the wrong bat, the
Speaker 6: wrong bachelor. I was like, you're not my husband.
Speaker 1: That's bad.
Speaker 5: I thought I saw a friend in like leather chaps
Speaker 5: like with his but she's exposed, and I ran out
Speaker 5: behind him and I just slap but my hand on
Speaker 5: his butt. And thank god it was Marti Greg because
Speaker 5: this guy just turned around with thanks and old No.
Speaker 4: He was into it.
Speaker 3: Loved his cheek went skin to skin.
Speaker 5: Well, you see your friend's bear cheek at Marta Gray.
Speaker 5: You're gonna put a red red mark on that. What
Speaker 5: he had no idea who this man was important?
Speaker 3: It is luckily anyway, on that job and get get
Speaker 3: a job.
Speaker 1: Yes, all right, let's go on that note, we're done.
Speaker 5: If you missed any of the show, you can podcast
Speaker 5: it on iHeart search the Pickup. We had Scottie cam
Speaker 5: on the show today and we also spoke Laura had
Speaker 5: some really strong opinions on pooing and bathrooms.
