Speaker 2: both doing the acting crass trade actors.
Speaker 1: On top of that, we do have a great show.
Speaker 1: We are getting rid of some confessions, that's what it is,
Speaker 1: getting rid of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, get out of it, you throw all, get that
Speaker 2: jusu out, absolutely, get it off your chest or in
Speaker 2: your case, mixtury, off your guts.
Speaker 3: Out of my bow, your bottom. You'll know that we
Speaker 3: went on a little best friend trip to Bali last
Speaker 3: year and I did something in Laura's Barley villa that
Speaker 3: really no one ever needs to hear all.
Speaker 2: No, no, no. I heard about it and thought it
Speaker 2: was my brother in law, and now I know who I.
Speaker 1: Didn't hear about it. I heard it live as it
Speaker 1: was happening. I was stairs show it right.
Speaker 3: Oh, you know, speaking of things coming out of you,
Speaker 3: we had on the show a woman that he's having
Speaker 3: a baby via surrogate.
Speaker 2: I thought this was so interesting. So she is, I mean,
Speaker 2: her friend, her best friend is having a baby. But
Speaker 2: they've just gotten through the first homester and I have
Speaker 2: so many questions around surrogacy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, her best friend is the surrogate.
Speaker 2: Sarrogus is really kind of like becoming a bit of
Speaker 2: a theme on the podcast. We also have an episode
Speaker 2: coming out on Tuesday. Can we just tell them what
Speaker 2: it is? Who it is this Tuesday? Yeah? Rebel Wilson,
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeay.
Speaker 1: We did an episode with Rebelson last year and it
Speaker 1: was brilliant and a lot has happened in Rebel's life
Speaker 1: in the last twelve months, and you guys wanted to
Speaker 1: hear from her again, so we thought why not get
Speaker 1: it back on the podcast.
Speaker 2: And speaking to Lisa, who is the woman who's having
Speaker 2: a surrogate on today's episode, We just thought it was
Speaker 2: such a synchronous, like a bit of synchronicity, the tie
Speaker 2: in the fact that we're speaking to Rebel on Tuesday
Speaker 2: about her surrogacy journey and also her new relationship.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys bombard me also with a call to
Speaker 1: my lover in Scotland.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we dial up Glasgow, Scotland. We speak to Ben
Speaker 3: and then Laura and I put the hard word on
Speaker 3: him just I wanted to make sure and so did Laura,
Speaker 3: that his intentions with you were pure.
Speaker 1: Ayea, this was actually led mostly by you, Mitch. Laura
Speaker 1: jumped on board, but you were the one that wanted
Speaker 1: to grill him.
Speaker 3: Listen from man to man, you know, two athletes together talking.
Speaker 1: You have my protective like brother or dad, because that's cute.
Speaker 4: I am.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're all that close, and we just wanted to
Speaker 3: make sure that you know he wasn't going to run
Speaker 3: off because we're of those soccer players, they've got reputations.
Speaker 2: When you say he's not going to run off, he's
Speaker 2: already very far away where you're going to run to.
Speaker 1: You can run further, Laura, It's always.
Speaker 3: Further to go. Just sit pretty, couldn't he?
Speaker 2: There are so many more parts to this show. This
Speaker 2: is the highlight of everything that happened this week on
Speaker 2: the pick up. We hope you enjoy it's.
Speaker 3: On the way. I forgot It hit me like a
Speaker 3: ton of bricks when I saw it on TikTok over
Speaker 3: the weekend. That Valentine's Day is but a couple of
Speaker 3: weeks away, and it's good for us love as we're
Speaker 3: all in love. I mean, it's a new Valentine's Day
Speaker 3: for Britt. But we'll have to unpack that loan. There
Speaker 3: is a service that I found over the weeks weekend
Speaker 3: by Animal Friends Humane Society It's based in Ohio in
Speaker 3: the US. What they're offering is for you to name
Speaker 3: a litter tray after your ex partner. Your ex's name
Speaker 3: will be branded on the litter box for all animals
Speaker 3: of different shapes and size poop and different pooh volumes
Speaker 3: to take a pooh on.
Speaker 2: I would like to go for an elephant kitty little
Speaker 2: tray if that's okay. I don't know if Helephon's used.
Speaker 2: I would like five dollars. I'll take the whole enclosure,
Speaker 2: just lay some hay down and go for goal.
Speaker 1: And this is cute because I'm going to assume that
Speaker 1: the money the five dollars goes to the shelter and
Speaker 1: the animal Society.
Speaker 3: Yes it does. It goes to the Animals Society. They
Speaker 3: do great work and you can go and adopt animals there.
Speaker 3: It's a beautiful place. But this is a brilliant way
Speaker 3: to make money and be to get revenge on a
Speaker 3: shitty X.
Speaker 2: I think that this is perfect because like for so
Speaker 2: many people, Valentine's Day is a beautiful day, and then
Speaker 2: for people who have gone through a crappy breakup or
Speaker 2: maybe they have a terrible X, it can be a
Speaker 2: really painful day, and what a nice and funny way
Speaker 2: to get back at someone without actually doing any damage.
Speaker 1: I hate V day.
Speaker 3: Also, the best part about it is that the X
Speaker 3: never has to so this is just for you to
Speaker 3: sleep soundly at night. They never know that they're being
Speaker 3: shut on by a ze bravery night.
Speaker 1: Because if I did it, if I got if I
Speaker 1: paid for a Zebra Kitty litter tray, I would want
Speaker 1: him to know about it, so I'd probably tweet it.
Speaker 1: I don't have to tweet it, but if I did, I'd
Speaker 1: tweet it and at him.
Speaker 2: No, you just put it on your Instagram stories because
Speaker 2: you know they're still looking.
Speaker 3: Oh one hundred percent. Wait, do you have an exit?
Speaker 3: You do this to either of you? I know I do.
Speaker 2: Although I got back it, I'm not going to say
Speaker 2: his name on national radio. I definitely got back at him, though.
Speaker 2: I threw his phone off a seven story building and
Speaker 2: it landed in a pool when we were going through
Speaker 2: our breakup?
Speaker 3: What were you doing on the top of a seven
Speaker 3: story building?
Speaker 2: But that was that was his was his apartment, that's
Speaker 2: where he lived. He was on the seventh floor.
Speaker 1: And did he cheat on you? And you found it?
Speaker 1: In the phone, and that's.
Speaker 2: Why I was going through his phone. He had drunkenly
Speaker 2: fallen asleep on the floor next to me, and I
Speaker 2: thought he'd been texting a girl throughout the night. And
Speaker 2: I went through his phone and I saw the text messages,
Speaker 2: and I woke him up as I was throwing it
Speaker 2: off the balcony so he could witness it landed in
Speaker 2: the pool, and then I left. I wanted him to.
Speaker 2: I wanted to make sure he knew why he Samsung
Speaker 2: was at.
Speaker 3: The bottom of the pool. He's like, Oh, I'm going
Speaker 3: to get some morning fun, ripped open a window. No,
Speaker 3: I helped my sister get revenge on her X. I
Speaker 3: mean he bought a brand new BMW and he lived
Speaker 3: around the street, so he pulled the windscreen wipers off.
Speaker 2: Meant them he is illegal mine. Actually, I think both
Speaker 2: of you.
Speaker 3: What about you, Britty? Sure you've gone to be honest.
Speaker 1: I'm far too stable. I'm far more stable than either
Speaker 1: of you.
Speaker 2: Wait, is it because you make good dating decisions or
Speaker 2: you just have self control?
Speaker 1: No, people shot on me all the time.
Speaker 3: Because our relationships don't last long enough to get revenge.
Speaker 3: There's no point They're not.
Speaker 2: In the country. They're usually overseas, so she can't get
Speaker 2: revenge on them because they're not here. Sorry about that.
Speaker 1: Sorry, some play some funeral music for me.
Speaker 3: Time to go, ladies. We've been contacted by a listener
Speaker 3: of the show. I love this.
Speaker 2: We have we have such an interesting story. So Lisa
Speaker 2: is a listener of the show and she is having
Speaker 2: a baby, but she's not currently pregnant, so she's having
Speaker 2: a baby through her best friend Sarah, who is carrying
Speaker 2: it via surrogacy for her. Lisa, welcome to the show,
Speaker 2: Thank you, hi, or you're having.
Speaker 1: A baby, So congratulating gradual.
Speaker 2: It's a very exciting time.
Speaker 1: It obviously sounds like it's been a long time coming
Speaker 1: because correct me if I'm wrong, but you've had eighteen
Speaker 1: rounds of IVF.
Speaker 5: Yeah, eighteen rounds over eight years, so it's been a long, long,
Speaker 5: long time coming and we just announced it about four
Speaker 5: days ago. I feel very raw and very exciting.
Speaker 2: How many weeks along now is?
Speaker 1: Is?
Speaker 2: Sarah?
Speaker 5: We are fourteen and a half.
Speaker 1: That's so amazing, and so what's that been like for
Speaker 1: you over the eight years with eighteen rounds of IVF?
Speaker 5: It's excruciating for anyone who's going through it. My hearts
Speaker 5: go out to you. Doing this has been like the
Speaker 5: hardest thing that I've ever been through. Every time it's
Speaker 5: at least thirty injections and then it's the hormones that
Speaker 5: go through you.
Speaker 2: Being a friend, she must have been very aware of
Speaker 2: your IVF journey, But how did you approach the conversation
Speaker 2: of asking her to be a surrogate for you?
Speaker 5: So it doesn't just happen overnight. Sarah and I met
Speaker 5: twelve and a half years ago. We remained like amazing friends.
Speaker 5: We worked on so many projects together. In twenty eighteen,
Speaker 5: when I was in my infancy of my IVS journey,
Speaker 5: she said to me, if you ever want a sarrogate,
Speaker 5: it would be my dream to carry a baby. And
Speaker 5: I was like, oh my god, another human would do that.
Speaker 5: And then fast forward last year, so March twenty twenty two,
Speaker 5: she texted me and said, Hey, how have IVF Collie.
Speaker 5: I was like, that's a great do it to be
Speaker 5: a surrogate and I'm text She was like, yes, absolutely,
Speaker 5: let's bring a baby in the world.
Speaker 1: Wow, it really does it really happen exactly and organically.
Speaker 5: Together for all the scanned. We're like basically together together together,
Speaker 5: So it's incredible.
Speaker 3: It's a beautiful story, and it sounds great and it
Speaker 3: warms my heart. But then I think my brain goes
Speaker 3: to the logistics, like do you have to pay it?
Speaker 3: You have to write a contract, you both have to
Speaker 3: go to a lawyer and sit down Like I'm sure
Speaker 3: it's not as easy as you're making it sound.
Speaker 5: It's not easy at all. And the reason that it's
Speaker 5: probably easier for me is because I've been through eight
Speaker 5: years of absolute fricking health. I've been through many iterations
Speaker 5: of logistics and legalities. Before you can't pay someone, it
Speaker 5: has to be out of the goodness.
Speaker 6: Of their heart.
Speaker 5: But it's actually not as complex as people may think.
Speaker 5: So basically, what we had to do with her and
Speaker 5: her husband David, me and my hobby to be Steven,
Speaker 5: had to do a three hour counseling session together to
Speaker 5: all get on the same page and kind of work through, Okay,
Speaker 5: how do we all feel about this? So you've got
Speaker 5: to be fairly, you know, in tune with your feelings
Speaker 5: and able to talk about everything and be comfortable. And
Speaker 5: then we had to get legal contracts drawn up on
Speaker 5: both sides just to any anomalies, you know, because as
Speaker 5: you said when you introduced, to imagine if theyre had
Speaker 5: the baby and then we're suddenly.
Speaker 7: Like, I can't let it go.
Speaker 5: So there's a whole lot of legal things. And then
Speaker 5: the surrogate has to have already finished their own families,
Speaker 5: so Sarah and David have three children already, and then
Speaker 5: we cover whilst we can't pay her, we cover every
Speaker 5: single extent for anything to do with her having to
Speaker 5: get transport to a scan, or anything to do with medically,
Speaker 5: we cover for Sarah. So yeah, so it's just I
Speaker 5: feel like I've got not only a baby carrier, but
Speaker 5: also a very very very best best best friend, Like
Speaker 5: it's amazing.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, speaking of feelings, what is it like
Speaker 2: going from having these eighteen rounds of IVF to having
Speaker 2: to experience somebody else carrying your baby? What does that
Speaker 2: feel like?
Speaker 5: Amazing? And in fact, they have shivers over my whole body,
Speaker 5: as you say, And again it's all perspective. If someone
Speaker 5: was starting today on their journey and they're like, I'm
Speaker 5: going to get a surrogate, like there is no way
Speaker 5: six and a half years ago I really could have
Speaker 5: even fathomed it, whilst my partner Stephen has been amazing.
Speaker 5: Now I've got like a best fricking girlfriend. But every
Speaker 5: day we're like, is he kicking?
Speaker 6: Is he doing this? How are you feeling?
Speaker 8: It's just so beautiful.
Speaker 1: It's truly an incredible gift from your friend and your
Speaker 1: little baby boys. Do you on the second of August?
Speaker 1: So we just can't say a bigger congratulations to you.
Speaker 1: It sounds like it's been a long time coming, and
Speaker 1: we wish you all both families the absolute best.
Speaker 5: Oh, thank you so much, and thank you for such
Speaker 5: a beautiful, kind interview. And I hope we can help
Speaker 5: a lot of other people that might be considering this.
Speaker 3: Today. We just confess some sins live on the air.
Speaker 3: It's all inspired by the Married at First Sight Confessional week.
Speaker 3: It's happening on Channel nine this week. Laura had a
Speaker 3: confession survey I surdy Britt, so we thought let's put
Speaker 3: it out and let our listeners of the pick up
Speaker 3: confess things live on air. We happy to do that, guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want people to make me feel better for
Speaker 1: what I just confess.
Speaker 3: I agree here is on the line, ill Kira not
Speaker 3: to make things dramatic. What would you like to confess?
Speaker 7: I have five sisters and all of which are blessed
Speaker 7: with amazing boobs, and so I somehow managed to get nothing.
Speaker 7: So behind everyone's back, no one is to know that
Speaker 7: I got a group job, and everyone just thinks that
Speaker 7: I am blossomed late in life, have just grew.
Speaker 2: A set one day. How old were you when you
Speaker 2: got the food job?
Speaker 7: I was early twenties, and no the.
Speaker 1: Ones ever guessed that you had a boob job care
Speaker 1: and none of your sisters, who know you very well,
Speaker 1: were surprised that you woke up with Bolton's.
Speaker 4: Yep, exactly like we have a pool in our backyard,
Speaker 4: so like we were swimming.
Speaker 7: I'm obviously in bikinis.
Speaker 6: But they everyone just has lots of big boobs in
Speaker 6: my family.
Speaker 7: It's so normal that they're like, oh no, like not
Speaker 7: even a question.
Speaker 2: Have been as okay? Well, then the question is is
Speaker 2: how big did you go from back.
Speaker 7: An atap to a d oh.
Speaker 2: Well you like my hormones kicked in?
Speaker 3: Okay, thank you, Kira, great confession. Let's go to Chloe
Speaker 3: on thirteen. Hello Chloe, the airwaves of yours. What is
Speaker 3: your confession?
Speaker 4: My confession is when I found out my ex was
Speaker 4: having an affair with someone who's here on a holiday visa,
Speaker 4: I decided immigration should find out.
Speaker 3: That is wow.
Speaker 1: Did the other woman know that he was in the relationship?
Speaker 4: Yes, she was fully aware of it. She actually notified
Speaker 4: me of the affair.
Speaker 2: So what did you say to immigration? Did you like,
Speaker 2: were they over there visa? How did immigration get involved?
Speaker 4: I just passed on some details and mentioned that they
Speaker 4: could just be in breach of visa West it for
Speaker 4: about two weeks before I decided to make the phone call.
Speaker 2: That is big.
Speaker 3: That's what confessions are for, Helen. We promised no judgment.
Speaker 3: What is your confession?
Speaker 6: My confession is that I was in a relationship with
Speaker 6: a man. I've had two children with that man, and
Speaker 6: then I had an affair with his brother.
Speaker 2: Oh how long did the affair go? For?
Speaker 5: About two years?
Speaker 2: And then where you deported? Because there's a link here?
Speaker 3: Are you calling it from Hawaii?
Speaker 2: Wait? So did anyone ever find out that you had
Speaker 2: the affair?
Speaker 5: Yet?
Speaker 6: We can claim in the end and.
Speaker 1: You're with the brother now, I'm with the brother now?
Speaker 2: Oh my god?
Speaker 1: What is the relationship now between your ex and your
Speaker 1: now partner. Who is the brother So what's the relationship
Speaker 1: with the brothers and you and your ex?
Speaker 6: Well, they don't have a relationship at all. Yeah, I'm blacklisted.
Speaker 6: We had to go to a funeral of the mother
Speaker 6: in law and that was very awkward.
Speaker 2: What about your kids? How did they take it?
Speaker 6: I took them a while to get on board. But
Speaker 6: my son research to my current partner is uncle daddy.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, hell, we probably didn't need to know that.
Speaker 3: I thank you, Helen.
Speaker 1: That's the new term people are going to use.
Speaker 2: Daddy, uncle daddy, do you know what? That's why I
Speaker 2: love doing these confessions. I feel like so many people
Speaker 2: are getting around with big, dirty secrets and I want
Speaker 2: to know them.
Speaker 3: I feel a bit sick to my stomach. No judgment
Speaker 3: to Helen, bless her.
Speaker 1: We have a friend of the show here today and
Speaker 1: I'm excited to introduce you all to her. Lena is
Speaker 1: her name, and Lena is in an arranged marriage.
Speaker 3: Now this is a.
Speaker 1: Really different story, So Lena, welcome to the show. Hi.
Speaker 8: Hi.
Speaker 1: Firstly, how long have you been married?
Speaker 4: For?
Speaker 8: Fifteen years? We just said our fifteen year anniversary in December.
Speaker 3: Are you happily married? Like, are you guys, yes, wow, do.
Speaker 1: You know what?
Speaker 2: Okay? So, when it came to having this wedding or
Speaker 2: your marriage arranged, did you have a choice or was
Speaker 2: it an expectation that you would allow your family members
Speaker 2: to pick your husband for you.
Speaker 8: No, it was completely my choice. And I think the
Speaker 8: times have changed now where the traditional sort of arranged
Speaker 8: marriage only happens in smaller villages. It's very modernized now
Speaker 8: where the girl does get a say in the majority
Speaker 8: of the cases.
Speaker 1: If you had a choice, what part of it makes
Speaker 1: it arrange?
Speaker 8: The fact that the elders actually get together and let
Speaker 8: people know that there's a girl here, and then they
Speaker 8: arrange for the man and the families to come and meet.
Speaker 8: That could be several different men.
Speaker 3: Paint the picture of how it works, because the way
Speaker 3: it was described to us is that it was kind
Speaker 3: of a bit like speed data y.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so there could be up to several men coming
Speaker 8: throughout the day. It's almost like an appointment and you
Speaker 8: can sort of judge them or try and judge them
Speaker 8: for the amount of time that you have there in
Speaker 8: front of them. And as an Indian woman, what.
Speaker 9: You would do.
Speaker 8: The one being married has to go and take them
Speaker 8: a glass of water, and then you sit down and
Speaker 8: sort of not look at each other. But I took
Speaker 8: a really good stare because I mean, that could be
Speaker 8: the beginning of the rest of my life. So yeah,
Speaker 8: So some.
Speaker 1: People don't take that thirty seconds, that minute. They avoid
Speaker 1: eye contact because it's awkward. What did you feel when
Speaker 1: you met your husband, You're sitting opposite him, You're looking
Speaker 1: into his eyes. What was it about looking into your
Speaker 1: now husband's eyes where you're like, this is the one?
Speaker 8: My husband was the first one I looked at. We
Speaker 8: didn't speak at all. I took them water and sat down,
Speaker 8: and then the family members just talked to each other. Really,
Speaker 8: two weeks went by and nobody asked me anything. So
Speaker 8: then I said to my grandma, I said, I actually
Speaker 8: liked the look of that guy.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 8: They got really excited because I was only nineteen at
Speaker 8: the time. And then they set up another meeting where
Speaker 8: they then sent us up to the balcony to then
Speaker 8: talk to each other, which was really awkward because he
Speaker 8: was really shy and didn't know what to really say.
Speaker 8: And all I really asked him was if he ate
Speaker 8: meat and drank alcohol, And it was a yes, so
Speaker 8: it was a yes from me.
Speaker 2: So how long after meeting there do you then have
Speaker 2: to make the decision that you're going to get married? Like,
Speaker 2: do you get married very shortly afterwards? Are you essentially
Speaker 2: just saying yes to dating?
Speaker 8: No, that was a done deal on the day, so
Speaker 8: we just say yes.
Speaker 1: You took water, you looked into each other's eyes, you
Speaker 1: asked to be eight, meat and alcohol and day with
Speaker 1: the day with the checkboxes.
Speaker 3: Then you were like, this is the rest of my life.
Speaker 8: Yeah, pretty much. So within a month we had met,
Speaker 8: we got engaged and married or all in one month.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, congratulations, you've been married fifteen years, You've
Speaker 3: got two beautiful girls.
Speaker 2: How long did it take you to fall in love?
Speaker 8: For me? It was love at first sight. It was
Speaker 8: love at first sight. It took both of our sides
Speaker 8: to really learn each other's ways. And my husband brought
Speaker 8: him to Australia here, so he's left his whole family
Speaker 8: and everything, friends and everyone's back in India and I've
Speaker 8: now got a husband that I have to, you know,
Speaker 8: take care of, and being as independent as I was,
Speaker 8: it was really new to me. So it just takes
Speaker 8: a lot of understanding and a lot of sacrifices do
Speaker 8: have to be made for a relationship like this to work.
Speaker 3: Wow, and all it takes in seconds. That should be
Speaker 3: the name of your memoir if you ever right seconds.
Speaker 3: Well hopefully i'm talking about the look you title. I'm
Speaker 3: talking about the intro. Anyway, I congratulations, Lena. We're very
Speaker 3: happy for you. Thank you for coming on and sharing
Speaker 3: your story. No, thank you, guys, having all right, it's
Speaker 3: down by next everybody. I have written and produced the
Speaker 3: Pickup Anthem, and I'm going to be debuting it here
Speaker 3: on the Pickup in a world first.
Speaker 1: Oh God, be afraid, be very fact that this is
Speaker 1: the first week hearing about it as a problem.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure I'm about to be signed to Sony Music,
Speaker 3: your record label.
Speaker 2: What if you're done now?
Speaker 3: Well, I thought when you hear on the airwaves this

Speaker 3: Mitch and and you know, I have studied theater and
Speaker 3: I'm a musical boy. It's in my bones.
Speaker 2: You've got a fantastic voice.

Speaker 3: my way of showing love is to be creative. So
Speaker 3: I have written a song that perfectly introduces Laura Britt
Speaker 3: and myself to the new audience listening now.
Speaker 2: So this is a song that you've written about us,
Speaker 2: just so I can get clear before I hear that
Speaker 2: is correct, Laura Burn correct.
Speaker 3: It's a way to introduce ourselves to the pickup audience.
Speaker 3: Let's roll the track. This is the pickup performed by
Speaker 3: yours truly.

Speaker 3: is make sure that your intentions are pure. So but

Speaker 1: a few questions.
Speaker 2: I only have BRIT's best welfare at heart. You originally
Speaker 2: said that Ben was very adamant against doing a long
Speaker 2: distance relationship, but then you change your mind. What was
Speaker 2: it that made you change your mind?

Speaker 11: kind of kind of changed it. You know, kind of
Speaker 11: a guy that goes by the feeling and all that
Speaker 11: kind of stuff. So I think when you know, you know,
Speaker 11: you feel, Yeah, I think it was more like a
Speaker 11: masculine thing, just to kind of lena all out there
Speaker 11: and then actually you get to the soft in a
Speaker 11: bit of meat, then you kind of know.
Speaker 2: That' just how do you feel about having an open relationship?
Speaker 11: Yeah? Hard no from my side.
Speaker 1: So which kind of I was like, hey, what do
Speaker 1: you think about and he was like, I didn't finish
Speaker 1: something like no, no, they're not happening.
