Speaker 1: Laura, come on, hello everybody, Happy Wednesday.
Speaker 2: Hi girls, Hi, Okay, Laura, you might be able to
Speaker 2: set all this debate for me straight up because you're
Speaker 2: the only one in the room that has been in
Speaker 2: this situation. But my sister Sherry is having a baby,
Speaker 2: her first baby, and her and her husband Jaye been
Speaker 2: fighting over with you find out the sex? And then
Speaker 2: I have been having this conversation now with my partner
Speaker 2: ban On, like would we find out the sex? And
Speaker 2: it's both the same argument, right, Like I said, I
Speaker 2: don't want to find out the sex of a baby.
Speaker 3: When it happens.
Speaker 2: My sister Sherry, who is six and a half seven
Speaker 2: months pregnant, she does not want to know, and they're
Speaker 2: in this big debate because he really wants to know.
Speaker 2: The husband and he's like, it's my baby too, I
Speaker 2: deserve to know.
Speaker 4: I think, did you find out?
Speaker 5: No, I was a surprise for both of our kids.
Speaker 5: Both kids were a surprise. Matt wanted to know both times.
Speaker 5: And I am very strongly of the fact that if
Speaker 5: it's inside my body and I don't want to know,
Speaker 5: then no one gets which maybe not everyone goes by
Speaker 5: those rules, but I'm like.
Speaker 3: You carry it.
Speaker 2: Then, well, that's the question because I went into fight
Speaker 2: for my sister Sherry with her husband, which has got
Speaker 2: nothing to do with.
Speaker 5: Me, but here inserted myself and the arguments.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I said, you know what if the woman's
Speaker 2: carrying a child for nine months and then she's the
Speaker 2: one breastfeeding and she's the one that has to come
Speaker 2: out of the the JJ, surely that Trump's say anything else?
Speaker 3: Nobody what if a guy? What if a guy it's
Speaker 3: fifty baby too.
Speaker 5: You know, has two pumps in your hout the word
Speaker 5: it's also very much needed to make that situation happen. Well, yes,
Speaker 5: but he is not doing any of the creating, all
Speaker 5: the cooking. So I think that if as the person
Speaker 5: carrying it, if you want the surprise and that's like
Speaker 5: part of your birth plan, then you get to have
Speaker 5: that little surprise. You can all just wait, Laura, did
Speaker 5: you get a push price? No, he just proposed me
Speaker 5: so like he kind of like the push present was
Speaker 5: the engagement ring. But I was like, well, are you
Speaker 5: just trying to get a toofer here? But yeah, that
Speaker 5: was my that was my push President.
Speaker 3: That the best push present one could get.
Speaker 5: Everyone's don't care because I should have gotten it just
Speaker 5: before I got pregnant or afterwards, and they would have
Speaker 5: push and the push present.
Speaker 3: I'm so glad.
Speaker 6: I'm gay.
Speaker 2: Ay.
Speaker 1: Next on the show, we're talking about when you make
Speaker 1: a really bad situation that's already terrible way worse, like
Speaker 1: when you don't think something can get worse, and that
Speaker 1: it just goes and happens.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because one guy did the ultimate Oh.
Speaker 3: My god, if you will talk about it. Next, Welcome
Speaker 3: to the Pickup.
Speaker 2: Today, we're talking how did you make a bad situation worse?
Speaker 2: We're having a giggle about it about this man over
Speaker 2: in California who wild scenes. But if you have, if
Speaker 2: you have ever been in a situation that was not
Speaker 2: going so well and you've tried to fix it, you've
Speaker 2: made it a hundred times worse.
Speaker 4: Call up the Pickup. We want to hear about it.
Speaker 2: It can't be as bad as this man in California.
Speaker 2: So he was house sitting in his parents' house and
Speaker 2: full disclosure, grown adult, fully grown man, not a child's important.
Speaker 4: It is important.
Speaker 2: There were spiders in his parents double story house, like
Speaker 2: black widow spiders, and he doesn't like spiders. It turns
Speaker 2: out so he thought, Okay, how am I going to
Speaker 2: get rid of these spiders?
Speaker 3: The red backs, by the way, like black widows what
Speaker 3: American call red backs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not good spiders. You don't want them in
Speaker 2: your hair. So he was like, how am I going
Speaker 2: to get these spiders out? So he didn't get a
Speaker 2: bug spray, he didn't hit them with his shoe, he
Speaker 2: didn't get a swatter, he didn't crush them with whatever
Speaker 2: toilet paper. He got blow torches like flames, like fire up,
Speaker 2: real fire flames.
Speaker 5: I mean, the fact that he didn't see at all
Speaker 5: that this was going to go badly really just pertains
Speaker 5: to have a photo.
Speaker 4: This man is so stupid.
Speaker 1: It was a blow torch, like you know, one master chef,
Speaker 1: when it's a hand held blow torch.
Speaker 5: How you brown up the top of a krembler exactly perfect.
Speaker 4: He thought he could like spot blow like this.
Speaker 1: No, I get that, because it's such a direct flame.
Speaker 1: I would think that a work.
Speaker 2: So what happened was he was blowing all these spiders,
Speaker 2: were watching all these spiders, and the flames he didn't realize,
Speaker 2: were going into the cracks of the wall and the
Speaker 2: roof as he was blowing up little little flames. The
Speaker 2: flames went onto the inside of the walls, traveled multiple
Speaker 2: stories to the attic, and the whole house burned down.
Speaker 4: What an absolute idiot.
Speaker 2: He burnt down the house because he was trying to
Speaker 2: kill a spider sitting Okay, so it was in his house.
Speaker 2: So he burnt down his parents' house trying to kill
Speaker 2: a spider.
Speaker 4: Thanks for helping, Jimmy. It took twenty.
Speaker 2: Nine firemen to put it out, Like, they came immediately,
Speaker 2: and he had to fess up.
Speaker 4: He had to be like.
Speaker 2: They were like, what happens, you know, because of insurance
Speaker 2: and stuff, and he's like, well, there are spiders.
Speaker 5: The part of this, though, that is like truly horrifying,
Speaker 5: is that he wouldn't have realized straight away that the
Speaker 5: house was on fire, like the fact that it had
Speaker 5: kind of gone through the wall and it was burning
Speaker 5: on the inside of the wall.
Speaker 4: The idiot was still doing it.
Speaker 5: He was still killing them for spiders, Like this is
Speaker 5: the perfect technique.
Speaker 3: I actually think this is the excuse. This doesn't sound real.
Speaker 1: I almost think he was having some sort of sex party. Yeah,
Speaker 1: or he did, Yeah, she did something more stupid. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's tax fraud. He's like, oh, I was trying to
Speaker 1: burn down from spiders, Like.
Speaker 2: Come on, you don't get the claim insurance on that
Speaker 2: you admitted to putting an open flame into your timber walls.
Speaker 4: Like insurance aren't being like, oh, okay, we'll pay you out.
Speaker 4: I think they get nothing.
Speaker 5: I think he literally just burnt down the family home
Speaker 5: and they will get nothing from this. But I think,
Speaker 5: I mean, this is a very very extreme version, but
Speaker 5: I feel like most people have done something goodwilled, like
Speaker 5: thinking that they're helping, and then absolutely backfired. And for me,
Speaker 5: it was something pretty recent. I've got a girlfriend. She's like,
Speaker 5: not pretty recently divorced, she's got one little girl, and
Speaker 5: her car had I was like in the shop for
Speaker 5: getting repaired, and I was like, babe, don't worry, you're
Speaker 5: doing it tough. Take my car. You take my car,
Speaker 5: you bore it for as long as you need it.
Speaker 5: Nice And I gave her my car to take. I
Speaker 5: get a call from her two days later and she
Speaker 5: was like, hey, honey, I'm not sure if you're with
Speaker 5: NRMA or not. My car had broken down on the
Speaker 5: in the middle of a freeway when she was driving
Speaker 5: and taking her child somewhere and it was her and
Speaker 5: her kid just stopped in the car in the middle
Speaker 5: of the freeway with my absolute poware of like a
Speaker 5: car that's actually bad? You just broke down on the
Speaker 5: freeway recently in my car as a lemon.
Speaker 4: It is the same way.
Speaker 3: Did you offer that car?
Speaker 4: H because I didn't know.
Speaker 5: That was the first time and it ever broken down
Speaker 5: and now now I need to get rid of it.
Speaker 5: But anyone want to borrow a car, I've got one
Speaker 5: that you know.
Speaker 1: God, have you ever made a bad situation worse? Give
Speaker 1: us a call here at the pick up. We'll take
Speaker 1: your calls next. If you're just tuning in, we're talking
Speaker 1: about making terrible situations even worse. There's a guy who
Speaker 1: tried to kill a spider in his parents house. They
Speaker 1: weren't home, and he went, you know what I'm going
Speaker 1: to go. I'm gonna go to the kitchen. I'm going
Speaker 1: to get a little croke and bush blow torch, and
Speaker 1: I'm going to kill these spiders one by one. What
Speaker 1: he didn't realize was he was actually blow torching the
Speaker 1: wooden beams of the house. He said, the house on fire, burnt.
Speaker 3: To the ground.
Speaker 4: His parents' house too.
Speaker 5: He's also an idiot, Like, I'm sorry, but he's an
Speaker 5: absolute idiot. Go get a fly, squatter, or a shoe,
Speaker 5: or literally anything else what person's and brain goes, I'm
Speaker 5: going to kill that fly.
Speaker 4: I'm going to get a buttating torch.
Speaker 3: Yeah, an idiot. Well, we want to know.
Speaker 1: Call us if you've made a terrible situation even worse.
Speaker 1: I this only came to me in the songs when
Speaker 1: I was a kid. I've told the story on the
Speaker 1: show before. I was a real menace. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I was the middle child two sisters. Maybe I just
Speaker 1: had that boy cheeky energy about.
Speaker 4: Okay, it doesn't know. I feel the opposite.
Speaker 5: I feel like I can imagine that on drama school boy,
Speaker 5: but just cheeky.
Speaker 1: I was so my mom and my sisters were doing
Speaker 1: My mum made Betty Crocker like ready to bake muffins.
Speaker 1: They were cooling on the kitchen island bench. My little
Speaker 1: sisters were making the stick on nails that you get
Speaker 1: from a chemists ware house. You put the glue on
Speaker 1: your finger, put the acrylic nail down. I when they
Speaker 1: left the room, got the glue and poured it over
Speaker 1: the muffins that were cooling and like squeeze the tube
Speaker 1: in it, like squished it. Mum ate it ten minutes
Speaker 1: later and the glue like dried to the inside of
Speaker 1: a esophagus.
Speaker 4: Me does not know.
Speaker 2: This isn't how to make a bad situation worse. What
Speaker 2: you've done is like, this is like how to culle
Speaker 2: your parents.
Speaker 4: That batarship that doesn't even relate.
Speaker 3: I regretted. I was a kid. I don't remember doing
Speaker 3: what were you twenty three?
Speaker 4: It doesn't even fit the story.
Speaker 3: Six. No, Then we went to the hospital of the
Speaker 3: emergency room.
Speaker 1: Mom had to get the skin removed, and then we
Speaker 1: went back a week later to talk see how the
Speaker 1: skin was healing. And they went, Michelle, now, what are
Speaker 1: you eating? Like you're eating soft foods, as we said,
Speaker 1: she's like syper glue for my son. Yeah, And I said, no,
Speaker 1: all she eats is McDonald's. Doctor like she's addicted to McDonald's,
Speaker 1: and like doubled down and got Mum in trouble because
Speaker 1: she was on a liquid's only diere. But she's eating
Speaker 1: McDonald's eating McDonald's, So I made that terrible situation.
Speaker 5: Your mom is so nice to you considering that she's
Speaker 5: just saying she's yearlive.
Speaker 4: Michelle's amazing.
Speaker 2: Do you know what I did? I thought I was
Speaker 2: saving the day. Once it was a couple of Christmases ago,
Speaker 2: we do a Chris Kringer with all my family and
Speaker 2: like my relos and cousins and stuff.
Speaker 4: We all have to buy for one person.
Speaker 2: And we're driving a couple of hours away to where
Speaker 2: this party is and my sister says, oh my god,
Speaker 2: I forgot my present for my person. Do you have
Speaker 2: anything you can bring? Because I was just about to leave,
Speaker 2: and I was like, don't worry, I've got this. So
Speaker 2: I went to my cupboard and had some old stuff
Speaker 2: that I had actually just been sent over the years
Speaker 2: from like different brands.
Speaker 4: Sometimes they do that and they turn up to radio
Speaker 4: or the house.
Speaker 2: So I grabbed something of the Brittany didn't want for herself.
Speaker 2: It was makeup, right, and I was like, every woman
Speaker 2: likes makeup. I knew her Chris Kringer was makeup. I
Speaker 2: was a girl gift.
Speaker 4: I quickly it was a regift, but everyone loves makeup.
Speaker 2: So I wrapped it up David to her and in
Speaker 2: front of the whole family, and I said to sheriff
Speaker 2: save the day.
Speaker 4: She opens us up and I didn't know, but.
Speaker 2: The brander had sent it, had engraved my name into
Speaker 2: the makeup. So I gave my cousin Tiana something that said.
Speaker 1: So funny. Okay, Kelly's called through. Hey Kelly, when did
Speaker 1: you make a bad situation worse?
Speaker 6: Oh my goodness. So I was having a shower and
Speaker 6: I got out and you know, hair's wet and not looking,
Speaker 6: you know, immaculate, And I started the hair dryer and
Speaker 6: short circuited the house. This is great, This is absolutely great.
Speaker 6: So I had to walk out of the house and
Speaker 6: to go to the powerboard and turn it on, and
Speaker 6: you know, all the elderly you know, neighbors neighborhood watch,
Speaker 6: you know, we're looking at the sagginess of what is gravity?
Speaker 4: You know, so you're just in a towel.
Speaker 6: It was like, Hi, Janelle, I'm totally embarrassed. And then yeah,
Speaker 6: went back inside and.
Speaker 4: Did it work again?
Speaker 2: Though?
Speaker 4: Were you back to normal?
Speaker 7: Yere to sit here?
Speaker 6: It wasn't normal you have to be at that time.
Speaker 4: Don't think you made a bad situation. Wow, people saw
Speaker 4: you like half noon. You made their day better.
Speaker 3: What about have you done this, Emily made a bad
Speaker 3: situation worse.
Speaker 8: Yes, So as a as a woman, everyone has a
Speaker 8: little bit of a mustache bobby upper lip, and to
Speaker 8: get rid of it, went to bullies, got one of
Speaker 8: those little wax strips and whacked it off. Didn't quite
Speaker 8: work so well, so my genius Britin decided to do
Speaker 8: it again, except this time I didn't like the hair off.
Speaker 8: I wax. He's still off of my upper lips.
Speaker 4: You ripped your upper lip off?
Speaker 3: Was it not a wax tip in the end or
Speaker 3: street just too.
Speaker 4: Strong to hot?
Speaker 8: It was a wax strip. So every time the temperature
Speaker 8: has a drastic chains, I've got a nice little red
Speaker 8: wine on both.
Speaker 4: Oh no, now you've got a scar. You've got a
Speaker 4: scar that raise the mustache. That's the morals.
Speaker 5: Just shave it, just like get one of those derma
Speaker 5: playing things and just shave it off.
Speaker 1: Well, I think if this has taught us anything, it's
Speaker 1: that we're all idiots. Deep down, we're all silly.
Speaker 3: You know, no one doesn't discriminate long lived in stage.
Speaker 4: Agree, just don't purn your house done.
Speaker 1: I need the support of a nation, Mitch Nation, Rise up,
Speaker 1: Mitch Nights.
Speaker 3: Mitch Nation, these are my fans. Come down.
Speaker 4: Many people are gonna rise up the Mitch slaps.
Speaker 5: How many are there? Like seventeen Mitch in the Matrix?
Speaker 5: Weir walk crew, girl walkers, bitchy Mitchie. Yep.
Speaker 3: People with good hair and they're a little bit chubby
Speaker 3: and have a great face.
Speaker 2: Okay, people with not a great sense of humor, got it? Okay,
Speaker 2: continue on.
Speaker 1: I need your support because the girls are against me.
Speaker 1: You Britain, Laura, I mean a new relationship. I'm very
Speaker 1: happy it's been nine months. I call him little Saint
Speaker 1: Stephen because Stephen, my partner, is a saint. He's the sweetest, kindest,
Speaker 1: so gorgeous and beautiful.
Speaker 4: Can we just take a moment.
Speaker 5: This is the first time you've ever said his name
Speaker 5: on air, because for a while there it was situationship,
Speaker 5: and then I think you deeply offended him. Then it
Speaker 5: was the guy that the guy that you're in a
Speaker 5: relationship with, And now we can say it it's Stephen.
Speaker 5: But not only is it Stephen, you're calling him Saint Stephen. Yeah,
Speaker 5: we're going right there already a saint.
Speaker 3: He is adorable.
Speaker 1: And I told you guys, you said, how is your weekend,
Speaker 1: and I was like, yeah, it was good, and we're
Speaker 1: chilling out. I redid my wardrobe, and you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's cool. Yeah, we did my wardrobe. I got a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of new clothes. And then I kind of
Speaker 1: let you in on the fact that Stephen helped me
Speaker 1: heavily with the redoing of my wardrobe.
Speaker 5: No, you're missing out a point. You didn't say he
Speaker 5: helped you heavily. You said, we redid my wardrobe. We
Speaker 5: organized my wardrobe. And then as the story unfolded, what
Speaker 5: you actually meant was that Stephen did the whole thing.
Speaker 4: He did your wardrobe.
Speaker 3: Stephen redid my wardrobe because he wanted to.
Speaker 1: He's one of those people that are like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I this will gives me great joy to rearrange your wardrobe.
Speaker 1: He's got that kind of mind that he's like, I
Speaker 1: want it cleaned, I want it sorted, and then please
Speaker 1: it's a pleaser, yeah, in your relationship. And then he said,
Speaker 1: you know what, You've got a lot of nice design
Speaker 1: and stuff in here. It's too big for you. Now,
Speaker 1: why don't we sell it online? I said, that's a
Speaker 1: good idea.
Speaker 3: He's like, I'll do it. For you. So I said, sure,
Speaker 3: I'd love if you did it for me. That's very sweet.
Speaker 3: I'll pay you for it.
Speaker 4: What are you paying him?
Speaker 3: Well, we haven't agreed on the terms, but yes he did.
Speaker 3: He didn't agree on the terms. I said, ten percent
Speaker 3: of the income.
Speaker 2: He can have ten percent of the profit that you make.
Speaker 2: He's going to earn from doing everything for you.
Speaker 1: We haven't like signed a contract. We're not like BP
Speaker 1: here talking about oil like it's easy.
Speaker 5: So I just want, I really want people before we
Speaker 5: take sides on this. Mitch, you're getting your boyfriend to
Speaker 5: sort your wardrobe, to sell your things, and then he's
Speaker 5: going to make ten percent of the profit. And then
Speaker 5: what's he going to do with that ten percent of
Speaker 5: the profit? He said, maybe we go on a nice
Speaker 5: date night together.
Speaker 2: So then you're going to make him do the work,
Speaker 2: sell it for a minimal amount, and then the middle
Speaker 2: of amount that he makes, he's going to take you
Speaker 2: to deny is going to do.
Speaker 4: Have a second.
Speaker 3: We haven't organized it.
Speaker 1: We just it's just the main issue here is you're like,
Speaker 1: you can't make your partner do things for you. You
Speaker 1: can't make your partner work for you and pay them.
Speaker 2: Can I just say the level that Saint Stephen has
Speaker 2: gone to? So I actually texted Saint Stephen because I
Speaker 2: wanted to be on his side. I just said blink
Speaker 2: twice if you need help, because I just wasn't sure
Speaker 2: if he.
Speaker 4: Was slopped in a basement somewhere.
Speaker 2: He sent me back screen shots the work that he's
Speaker 2: doing his next level. He has made complete spreadsheets of
Speaker 2: the brand, the sizing, the listing description.
Speaker 4: I've got things like as color, iconic.
Speaker 2: Hot girl walk custom blink T shirt that's Mitch's person
Speaker 2: and I love that.
Speaker 3: I'm embarrassed.
Speaker 4: I love that you put iconic.
Speaker 3: He wrote iconic.
Speaker 4: How much are you selling these things for as well?
Speaker 5: I mean anyone who wants to get some five XL shirts.
Speaker 5: Mitch's selling all his old wardrobe because you are spelt
Speaker 5: any studios.
Speaker 4: It is so.
Speaker 1: Hot on he He did this because that's what held
Speaker 1: on incomes of support.
Speaker 4: Wait, why are you to give him ten percent?
Speaker 3: You have all of.
Speaker 5: It, but now we can have all of it.
Speaker 4: Funnels back into your account.
Speaker 1: Min Rebecca, you've joined the movement? Do you pay your
Speaker 1: partner for goods and services?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 8: He pays me.
Speaker 4: What does he pay you for.
Speaker 8: He doesn't do this now, but a couple of years
Speaker 8: ago he had his own business and he would, yeah,
Speaker 8: just get me to help him for a couple of
Speaker 8: hours at a time. But in saying that we are
Speaker 8: a one income household, so he doesn't pay me in cash,
Speaker 8: he would just say, oh, you know, why don't.
Speaker 6: You get your nails done?
Speaker 8: Or why don't you think more like.
Speaker 4: A tax deduction dodge.
Speaker 2: Also, I think I think actual work is different, Like
Speaker 2: that's an actual physical job.
Speaker 1: Mitch is just making him do housework. And he's also
Speaker 1: called producer Grace. She said to me, no one's ever
Speaker 1: called this much for a segment. We're getting thousands. Of course, Emily,
Speaker 1: this happens to you as well in your relationship.
Speaker 4: It does.
Speaker 7: So I pay my fiance to do work on my
Speaker 7: full drive car or like install things on the car
Speaker 7: instead of going to an actual mechanic.
Speaker 6: Is he a mechanic, No, it's Eve an electrician.
Speaker 4: So how much do you pay it?
Speaker 7: It kind of depends on what I ask him to do,
Speaker 7: Like if it's like I think I've hid him like
Speaker 7: two hundred dollars to install a snorkel on my car.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when I do that Emily, And would you say
Speaker 1: you have a deep intimate love and connection.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, for sure, it's a richer.
Speaker 3: Level of relationship.
Speaker 4: I don't mind.
Speaker 2: I think it's amazing that you're compensating Steven for his efforts,
Speaker 2: because it sounds like he's going to do it anyway, right,
Speaker 2: So I think that's brilliant. He's getting extra cash. What
Speaker 2: I don't think is brilliant is you putting the prerequisite
Speaker 2: in there that that money has to be funneled back
Speaker 2: into you in some capacity.
Speaker 4: That's where I have the private rough.
Speaker 1: I'm taking this to the legal courts. I'm pressed to
Speaker 1: leave on that note,
