Speaker 4: days away.
Speaker 3: Literally people are people are lining up from yesterday.
Speaker 2: Well they're also getting an iPhone when they get to
Speaker 2: the front. I hate happened.
Speaker 3: You're the only person I know that would line up
Speaker 3: for something. You would line up for yeezis you would

Speaker 4: Remember those really hideous giant red boots that Mish wanted
Speaker 4: to like pre order and line up for and they
Speaker 4: were so.
Speaker 5: Ugly, Mitch, shit, we pulled you.
Speaker 2: I was in an online waiting room for thirteen hours
Speaker 2: and they're.
Speaker 4: So I wouldn't wear them for free if someone gave
Speaker 4: them to me.
Speaker 3: I really enjoy how talking about the King's coronation just
Speaker 3: turned into us selledging dumping on me.
Speaker 5: And his boots. That's how much we don't care about
Speaker 5: you know.
Speaker 2: The last time I lined up somewhere was when you
Speaker 2: were sick, Britt, and I had to go all the
Speaker 2: way to your house and line up for that green
Speaker 2: juice that you demanded to have. Took me an hour
Speaker 2: to get that green juice.
Speaker 5: And then you got fined and then I got a
Speaker 5: parking fine.
Speaker 2: Last time I line up, Hey, on the show today,
Speaker 2: we don't really know much, but we just know that Britt,
Speaker 2: you've had a health scare.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Look, I have had a health scare. It was
Speaker 4: a very concerning, very worrying out of the blue. But
Speaker 4: I'm going to tell you about it. But I'm undergoing
Speaker 4: treatment for it as we speak.
Speaker 2: Okay, something that could affect everyone listening, effects everyone. Okay,
Speaker 2: that's on the way to pick up for your Thursday
Speaker 2: A welcome. It's the pick up with Britt, Laura and
Speaker 2: Midge Stuck on a month'sday gift Chemist Warehouse. They've got
Speaker 2: you covered with big brand fragrances at the lowest prices.
Speaker 2: Walt's on into Chemp Warehouse. They got great savings every day.
Speaker 3: Ask Yes, it is time to ask on Kant and
Speaker 3: that is when you guys write in or call in
Speaker 3: with your big, deep, dark and dirty questions. Look, we
Speaker 3: love this segment. We do it on the podcast on
Speaker 3: Life on cart every Thursday where we answer listener questions,
Speaker 3: and on the radio show Oh you come up with
Speaker 3: some doozies.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Christy joins this on thirteen one or six five.
Speaker 2: Hey Christy, what do you need help with?
Speaker 1: Hey, guys, I have a bit of a predicament. I
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm a bad person or not, but
Speaker 1: engagement rings. Now, I was engaged for four years. I've
Speaker 1: just recently canceled my wedding. A bit of hum and hiring,
Speaker 1: no cheating, nothing like that. But I guess I felt
Speaker 1: like I needed to constantly reassure my partner and I
Speaker 1: needed constant I guess help from him to you know,
Speaker 1: in our relationship. I just needed help. He wasn't improving whatsoever,
Speaker 1: So I just it wasn't feeling right for me at all.
Speaker 1: Now I've got this engagement ring and he's beggar for
Speaker 1: it back. What do I do? Do I give it
Speaker 1: back or can I keep it?
Speaker 2: Wait?
Speaker 3: So, so you still have the engaged ring, You've been
Speaker 3: wearing it for the past four years, and now that
Speaker 3: you haven't gone through with the wedding, is he asking
Speaker 3: for it back? Like, is he demanding or are you
Speaker 3: just kind of wanting to know what's the best thing
Speaker 3: to do.
Speaker 1: No, well, he's asking for it back now. In regards
Speaker 1: for the ring, I work in hospitality, so I work
Speaker 1: in a kitchen, so it's not like I was wearing
Speaker 1: it every single day for work purposes. We couldn't actually
Speaker 1: have it on, so you know when we'd go out,
Speaker 1: I put it on the weekends and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: so sentimental value for me, it wasn't on my hand
Speaker 1: every single day. So for me, I'm like, well it's mine, Like,
Speaker 1: can I keep the ring? Can I get it repurposed
Speaker 1: into another kind of ring so it doesn't have that
Speaker 1: engagement pooy?
Speaker 2: She's like, can I turn it into a pair of shoes? Maybe?
Speaker 4: Can I go to a jewel r and maybe the
Speaker 4: next engagement ring?
Speaker 2: Hold on. So when you say you said at the
Speaker 2: start that he's not showing any signs of improvement, what
Speaker 2: has he done is he has he been cheating, like
Speaker 2: a motional cheating. Because I think this answer will depend
Speaker 2: on what he did to you.
Speaker 1: No, he's not emotionally cheating, but I just don't get
Speaker 1: that feeling of yep, this is the one like this
Speaker 1: is for me, Like just the issues at home, like
Speaker 1: come on, dude, pick up after yourself. I'm not your
Speaker 1: mum right look.
Speaker 5: And the relationship just its course.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just what it.
Speaker 5: Sounds like nothing happened, You're just not right for each other.
Speaker 4: I'm it's hard for me because I'm sitting on the
Speaker 4: fence because if I want to say, for you, as
Speaker 4: a woman, yeah, keep that ring, it's yours, sell it,
Speaker 4: do it.
Speaker 5: You will melt it down.
Speaker 4: But then I think, oh god, if I was the
Speaker 4: guy in that situation, I'd want the ring back.
Speaker 2: For sure, you got to give it back, But I
Speaker 2: spent like.
Speaker 3: Twenty k on it. Well that's my question is do
Speaker 3: you have shared finances?
Speaker 5: It all?
Speaker 3: Like, do you have a shared bank account? Because if
Speaker 3: you did have it, when you've been together with someone
Speaker 3: for so long, aren't the things kind of just yours mutually?
Speaker 3: And therefore who gets to keep the ring?
Speaker 5: I mean, what bank account did it come from?
Speaker 1: Well, it came from CES. We do have joint bank accounts.
Speaker 1: But what about my time that I've put into the relationship, Like, that's.
Speaker 2: All value, Christy, this is his money. If he cheated
Speaker 2: on you, I would be I'd go, Christie, you go
Speaker 2: full scorched earth. You take that ring, you take the dog,
Speaker 2: you get out of there. But you've just fallen out
Speaker 2: of love with him. Give the man his ring backs?
Speaker 3: Also, did he still want to get married?
Speaker 1: He did anyone else?
Speaker 3: I mean, but some people do think it's a gift. Right?
Speaker 3: Has he made it very clear that he wants the
Speaker 3: ring back, like he's asking okay, right, did he pay
Speaker 3: for it?
Speaker 1: He did pay for it.
Speaker 3: So there is this in Australia. I think the laws
Speaker 3: are different everywhere, but I actually think legally you have
Speaker 3: to give.
Speaker 2: The ring back. What is the law? Do we know
Speaker 2: what the law is?
Speaker 3: Well, because I think an engagement ring is like it's
Speaker 3: it's the contract. You're saying, I'm going to marry you,
Speaker 3: and that is your like physical contract. So if you
Speaker 3: call the wedding off, as the person who's been proposed to,
Speaker 3: if you call the wedding off, you can't keep the
Speaker 3: ring because it's part of the contract.
Speaker 5: I mean, there are no dotted lines signed, were there?
Speaker 3: But if he calls it off. I think then you
Speaker 3: can keep the ring. So maybe if you go to court,
Speaker 3: you say it was him, blame him for it, and
Speaker 3: then keep the rinks.
Speaker 5: Do you know what, I would just the number, just blocking.
Speaker 2: Don't take that terrible advice, Christy, give the ring back?
Speaker 3: What would you if it was you? What would you do?
Speaker 3: Would you give a ring back if you've been proposed
Speaker 3: to in all one thousand dollars xterra in your bank account?
Speaker 5: In all honesty, I probably would just to be done
Speaker 5: with it.
Speaker 4: If they were hounding me for it, I'd probably give
Speaker 4: it back because I didn't like confrontation. I don't like
Speaker 4: and I probably wouldn't want the memories constantly. But if
Speaker 4: it doesn't bother you and you feel like you deserve
Speaker 4: it for whatever reason, CHRISTI, I mean, do what you
Speaker 4: want to do.
Speaker 2: It's a different story if you're you're going to keep it.
Speaker 2: But if you're going to take it to cash converters,
Speaker 2: maybe I back that. You know, I love an independent woman.
Speaker 2: If you're going to get a bit of cash back,
Speaker 2: go for it.
Speaker 4: I'm going to change to give it back.
Speaker 2: If you want some advice like that start somewhere and
Speaker 2: ends in it completely different.
Speaker 3: If you'd like to be confused, please give us a call.
Speaker 2: Let us know on the pickup Social send us a
Speaker 2: DM now next on the show, Britt, this is very serious,
Speaker 2: very true. You've had a health scare.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I have had a health scare. I am okay.
Speaker 4: I am undergoing treatment for something at the moment on
Speaker 4: my face that is pretty scary, and you guys are
Speaker 4: not gonna want to look at me over the coming days.
Speaker 2: All right, You're gonna reveal it next after this on
Speaker 2: the Pickup. It's the Pickup Thursday afternoon with Britt Laura
Speaker 2: mitch here heading the Chemist's Warehouse today, great savings every day.
Speaker 5: Guys.
Speaker 4: I want to talk to you about something a bit
Speaker 4: more serious today, but it's very important, So bear with me.
Speaker 5: Over the next week.
Speaker 4: You are going to witness something on my face that
Speaker 4: he is going to be quite disturbing. So I went
Speaker 4: and got a skin check a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 4: probably two weeks ago, now three weeks ago. I had
Speaker 4: three spots on my face that I was a bit
Speaker 4: worried about, and I'd been really lazy with it, really.
Speaker 5: Putting it off.
Speaker 4: But I thought enough's enough. I saw a young person
Speaker 4: in Australia. Just on the news, I saw them pass
Speaker 4: away from melanoma. And that's what scared me enough to
Speaker 4: say I'm going to do it.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 4: I'm glad I did because the three spots that I
Speaker 4: have was worried about turns out to be something called
Speaker 4: solar keratosis, which isn't exactly rare, it can be quite common.
Speaker 4: It is not yet cancer, but it turns into cancer.
Speaker 4: So it's it's called pre cancer.
Speaker 3: And looking at your skin, Okay, your skin looks pretty
Speaker 3: perfect to me. I would never have looked at your
Speaker 3: face and thought, oh that's something you go checked out.
Speaker 5: Well, this is the worrying thing.
Speaker 4: I will say, I have really great skin. I've never
Speaker 4: had to suffer with bad skin. It's always been really great.
Speaker 4: It looks on the outside like it's great quality. But
Speaker 4: this is the thing that doesn't mean anything. So I've
Speaker 4: got these three spots that are pre cancerous. If left
Speaker 4: will turn into skin cancer. We'll turn into something called SCC,
Speaker 4: which is squamous cell carcinoma, which is a nasty skin cancer.
Speaker 2: So what's the treatment? They cut them out? What do
Speaker 2: you do from here?
Speaker 4: No, So the treatment is you have to order a
Speaker 4: cytotoxic cream. I had to order it from another state.
Speaker 4: Now you cannot touch this cream without gloves. It cannot
Speaker 4: touch anything. Anything it touches, you have to double bag
Speaker 4: in a plastic bag. You can't even put it in
Speaker 4: the rubbish bin. You have to take it to a
Speaker 4: chemist to disclose of it. It's cytotoxic. You've got to
Speaker 4: put on your face, so I have to put it
Speaker 4: on my entire face so you can't tell.
Speaker 5: Now I'm three days in.
Speaker 4: I've been using it for three days, but it takes
Speaker 4: a three weeks and in a couple of days it's
Speaker 4: going to kick in.
Speaker 5: But what it's going to do to.
Speaker 4: My face is essentially it kills all the skin, kills
Speaker 4: everything around it. It stops the bad skin cancer cells from duplicating,
Speaker 4: which is very important, but I will my face could
Speaker 4: potentially turn into one giant, huge, red, weeping scabs.
Speaker 3: We're going to be off the cameras. When that, I
Speaker 3: mean like looking at your skin. Now, I know I
Speaker 3: say I would never look at your skin and think
Speaker 3: that there was something wrong with it. But it's not
Speaker 3: like you have moles, you know. I think traditionally you think,
Speaker 3: oh skin cancer. It's from a rogue mole that's changed
Speaker 3: color and size. No, I don't have any moles in
Speaker 3: your face.
Speaker 5: Nope, I have three. You know what it was?
Speaker 4: I have three areas that when a little bit darker,
Speaker 4: they were almost like a freckly area. They went a
Speaker 4: little bit darker and a little bit drier, so that
Speaker 4: I had quite dry skin. But these parts were particularly
Speaker 4: dry and nothing would get rid of it. I would
Speaker 4: go and get the deepest, most hydrating lotions, I would
Speaker 4: get lasers on my face for like regeneration. Nothing would
Speaker 4: touch these three spots. And that's when I thought, something
Speaker 4: doesn't seem right.
Speaker 2: It's crazy. I don't know about you, but I haven't
Speaker 2: had a skin check in I'd say five years. It's
Speaker 2: been five.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's crazy to me.
Speaker 3: I feel ashamed to say this. I've not been had
Speaker 3: a skin check in ten years, a decade.
Speaker 2: Really bad.
Speaker 3: I was twenty seven the last time I got it checked.
Speaker 3: Because I remember who I was dating at the time.
Speaker 5: This is really scary.
Speaker 4: So Australia has the most the high rated skin cancer
Speaker 4: in the world. One in fourteen men and one in
Speaker 4: twenty five women will have melanoma in their lifetime. Now
Speaker 4: that is scary. One in fourteen men, one in twenty
Speaker 4: five women, and it's the third most common yeah type
Speaker 4: of cancer in Australia.
Speaker 3: I wonder if mena more predisposed because traditionally men have
Speaker 3: more outside jobs, you know, they're like possibly laborers, or
Speaker 3: maybe they're exposed to the sun a bit more. But
Speaker 3: I genuinely do I feel embarrassed to say ten years
Speaker 3: it's been.
Speaker 2: I have spots as well, guys that I mean, I'm freckly.
Speaker 2: I've got actual spots that I am worried about, and
Speaker 2: I've just put it off because you think the mentality
Speaker 2: is it's not gonna happen to me. I'll cut it
Speaker 2: out if I need to.
Speaker 5: Haven't you gone because this is ridiculous, Okay.
Speaker 3: One of the reasons why I haven't gone is because
Speaker 3: because I think when you feel healthy, when you think
Speaker 3: you're healthy, and you can't like nothing. I haven't never
Speaker 3: seen a spot that's changed. I've never had anything that
Speaker 3: I feel overly worried about. And so when you're busy,
Speaker 3: it's just one of those back of mind things you go,
Speaker 3: I'll go next year, not a prior. I'll make another
Speaker 3: booking I think I made a booking once and then
Speaker 3: I had to cancel it just never rebooked.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I made a booking one since she's like, you
Speaker 2: do realize you have to get naked, and I just
Speaker 2: ghosted it didn't turn.
Speaker 5: Up day.
Speaker 2: All right? Everyone, Well, Britt, we're glad you're okay. All right.
Speaker 2: Next on the show, and we've all had few through
Speaker 2: our neighbors. You will never believe how bad this feud
Speaker 2: between two neighbors in the UK is gotten. I'll tell
Speaker 2: you all about it next on the Pickup. It's the
Speaker 2: Pickup Thursday AVA with Brent, Laura and Mitche.
Speaker 4: Here.
Speaker 2: If you're stuck on a Mother's Day gift, Chemists Warehouse
Speaker 2: has you covered with big brand fragrances at the lowest prices.
Speaker 2: Chemists Warehouse got great savings every day. Let's head over
Speaker 2: to the UK. Everyone's talking about the King's coronation. No no, no,
Speaker 2: no no. A union of two people more so than
Speaker 2: the royal family is catching my attention. We'll tell you
Speaker 2: what talking about. We all know how bad and intense
Speaker 2: arguments with your neighbors can get. We've all been through them.
Speaker 2: We've spoken about them on the show.
Speaker 3: Oh especially Brett Britton hates her neighbor.
Speaker 4: But that's because my neighbor was your neighbor, and you
Speaker 4: handed your neighbor then too.
Speaker 3: She is truly horrible.
Speaker 2: Yeah, people don't know that Britt rented Laura's past department.
Speaker 2: They had the same neighbor. She holds people down, long
Speaker 2: story shorts. She's terrible. But this feud in the UK
Speaker 2: has gotten so out of control. It's reached new heights
Speaker 2: that I actually admire. So Wendy, who's sixty eight, lives
Speaker 2: next door to Lee who's twenty eight. He parks his
Speaker 2: VW camp van in her allocated parking spots. Well, it's hard.
Speaker 2: They both have spots, mind you. They live on a
Speaker 2: coulder sack, like a classic British culd De sack, so
Speaker 2: spots are already very weed tight as they are. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a bad move. She's written letters and said, I know, mate,
Speaker 2: do you mind not parking me migirl? Because I've got
Speaker 2: a cook through the morning. I've got to get off
Speaker 2: to work and get to Scores and I don't want
Speaker 2: you to be there in my parking space.
Speaker 3: This was from English to Irish.
Speaker 2: It got so bad he kept ignoring these letters, Wendy
Speaker 2: decided to erect a two foot metal ballard to keep
Speaker 2: her parking spot reserved.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's one way to go about it. Well
Speaker 3: they do in Sydney.
Speaker 2: Lee just got up and decided he'd knock it out.
Speaker 2: He'd pull it out of the ground, he would pull
Speaker 2: it down, She'd put it back up. She put CCTV
Speaker 2: cameras up, he'd pull it back down.
Speaker 3: Who was putting up CCTV cameras to protect their car
Speaker 3: path on a car?
Speaker 4: No car spaces are so rare and hard to come by.
Speaker 4: I'd be protecting mine at all costs.
Speaker 2: As would I. And you think, God, this is gonna
Speaker 2: get It's gonna go up and down, up and down
Speaker 2: forever and ever. Wendy installs a CCTV camera. I'm sure
Speaker 2: she hires a handy band. She wouldn't be able on
Speaker 2: a ladder at sixty eight. Jesus, what she catches on
Speaker 2: this camera is so mind boggling and so admirable. I
Speaker 2: think it's incredible To get back at Wendy. Lee has
Speaker 2: brought his partner, his female partner over late at night,
Speaker 2: in the early hours of the morning, and he and
Speaker 2: her have got.
Speaker 3: It on Oh, they had some special cuddles.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was parking something very different in that spot.
Speaker 5: A smaller suv, a much smaller.
Speaker 2: It was a two door, and the windshield wipers were
Speaker 2: going because he was he was getting it on with
Speaker 2: his girlfriend on said Ballard direct eye contact with the
Speaker 2: CCTV camera and said, Hey, Wendy, how did your ballard veel?
Speaker 5: Now you definitely did not say that.
Speaker 3: Do you know what Wendy needs to do? She needs
Speaker 3: If this is something that he's doing, like on the rag,
Speaker 3: if this is his new thing, don't approach him, don't
Speaker 3: tell him that you know about it, But go and
Speaker 3: put something that's going to make him really itchy all
Speaker 3: over the bar, something on there. And then it's like
Speaker 3: you're upping the revenge and it keeps on growing. Chili. Yeah,
Speaker 3: rum it down with chili.
Speaker 2: That's good.
Speaker 5: What's the purpose? How is that getting back at her
Speaker 5: because you have sexy car?
Speaker 3: No, I reckon, it's because he has a kink. His
Speaker 3: is like a parking kink. He wants to win the
Speaker 3: parking kink.
Speaker 2: Oh you think he's into he's into spots.
Speaker 3: I mean he's literally into sacks. Well, let's not yuck
Speaker 3: anyone's Yeah, maybe that's the thing that gets him off.
Speaker 5: I was her, I'd be like parking Mini, They're fine,
Speaker 5: do what you want.
Speaker 2: Go park it, don't park the v parking Minnie. Is
Speaker 2: that a slab? Is that a stab?
Speaker 3: It in?
Speaker 2: When he's done is she's called the police. He's been
Speaker 2: arrested for indecent exposure, so she's really had the laugh last.
Speaker 2: So they're in federal court now. He's been slapped with
Speaker 2: an eighteen month community order, ordered to do one hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty hours of unpaid work, and two hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty quid compensation to missus Bryant. So she's had the
Speaker 2: last laugh. He's in prison.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they say crime never pays No, definitely.
Speaker 2: All right, we're done, guys. We'll see tomorrow for Friday.
Speaker 2: All the gosh from the King's Coronation will be on
Speaker 2: the show Will and what are you up next to you?
Speaker 5: Then by bye,
