Speaker 1: Laura, come on in. Hi.
Speaker 2: Everybody welcome.
Speaker 3: Hello, Laura.
Speaker 4: I lost sleep yesterday over a discussion that we had
Speaker 4: about planes. You were like, who yeah, you know how
Speaker 4: yesterday we were talking about who gets the arm rest?
Speaker 4: It was like one of life's big questions, right when
Speaker 4: you're in a plane, who gets the arm rests?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 5: Especially no, it's specifically if you're in the middle sea,
Speaker 5: surely those bad boys are yours, like you get them.
Speaker 1: It's musical chairs. Whoever's arms go there first, get it
Speaker 1: until you move it.
Speaker 5: Well, I realized this was the debate that stopped the nation.
Speaker 5: But here we are, it hasn't really stopped it.
Speaker 4: It was just me, I believe it or not, found
Speaker 4: like an airplane etiquette expert. That is what they dedicate
Speaker 4: their life to. And I've got the answer for you
Speaker 4: can't be well pay and can it? So I reckon
Speaker 4: it is because I think more people are having this conversation.
Speaker 3: Than we realize.
Speaker 2: What's the answer.
Speaker 4: So if you are if it's three seats, yep, and
Speaker 4: you're in the middle, the middle person gets both armorate.
Speaker 6: Thank you, Britt.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's this is why I finish, finish happen If.
Speaker 6: It's four seats.
Speaker 4: So if it's the row like the bigger row in
Speaker 4: the middle, the people on the aisle and the window
Speaker 4: just get the one on the outside and the two
Speaker 4: people both get the outside one and they have to
Speaker 4: fight over the.
Speaker 5: Middle one and they share the middle one. This makes
Speaker 5: perfect sense to me, don't You can't have a window
Speaker 5: and the arm rest. You can't have an aisle and
Speaker 5: the arm rest, like you're just being greedy.
Speaker 4: But then the question for the two people in the
Speaker 4: middle with the like nudging because they have to share
Speaker 4: the one, but they're both in the same predicament. I
Speaker 4: think that that is a bit of like a Once
Speaker 4: it's free, you have to quickly capitalize.
Speaker 3: On and get your arm on there.
Speaker 6: Thank god we got to the bottom of that.
Speaker 5: Hey, I mean, thank god this is about to wrap
Speaker 5: up because you have glazed over.
Speaker 2: I mean to it, but I think you put a
Speaker 2: nail in that. I fly only business, so I don't
Speaker 2: have that problem. No, I don't.
Speaker 6: I wish.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was gonna leave that there just to make
Speaker 5: you uncomfortable, stip, but no, you have flown business.
Speaker 1: I've seen the alright, I'm not miss Hockling, all right,
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Next, we've got to pick up,
Speaker 1: put down all the big news stories that everyone is
Speaker 1: talking about this week. Britt Laura, you need to decide
Speaker 1: whether or not we continue talking about these topics. And
Speaker 1: we're tackling a big one that everyone does, the cheeky
Speaker 1: snack mid grocery shop.
Speaker 2: Collate your thoughts. Can you have a grape?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I know it's going to divide the country. We're going
Speaker 2: to tackle that.
Speaker 1: Next on the pickup, let's do this is to pick up,
Speaker 1: stakehold pick up. Yeah, I'm going to reveal to britt
Speaker 1: Laura a big topic everyone in the world are discussing.
Speaker 1: It's your choice to decide whether or not we carry
Speaker 1: on the conversation or we stop talking about it forever.
Speaker 6: Stamp it out. I'm the optimist. What do we got me?
Speaker 4: Pick up?
Speaker 2: Put down? Parking meters in Australia going cashless.
Speaker 1: Is a big swing at the moment. A lot of
Speaker 1: parking meters are going cashless. It's a national rollout. No
Speaker 1: more coins only card.
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm gonna say pick it up only because I
Speaker 5: have gone cash list. Actually, I've gone everything list for
Speaker 5: so long now. All I carry around is my phone,
Speaker 5: and it's so obnoxious that I don't even know where
Speaker 5: my credit cards are in my house anymore.
Speaker 6: I just have a phone.
Speaker 4: I personally don't use cash, but I don't think we
Speaker 4: should go cash less because it affects too many people.
Speaker 6: How many people.
Speaker 4: Rely on cash, especially like I mean for the little
Speaker 4: things like the one or two dollar coins going into
Speaker 4: I don't know, like where you wash your car.
Speaker 3: Or the parking meter.
Speaker 4: It doesn't affect me because I haven't seen cash in
Speaker 4: a long time, but I don't think we need to
Speaker 4: go cash lit.
Speaker 1: I agree, you know what, I think that the kids
Speaker 1: are the next generation are going to miss out on
Speaker 1: I did it the other night.
Speaker 2: That's why I'm bringing it up.
Speaker 1: I paid for my double cheeseburger at ten pm at night,
Speaker 1: coming home with cash, and I put, you know in
Speaker 1: the McDonald's window opens and you put your hand out,
Speaker 1: and the sixteen year old McDonald's worker put her hand out.
Speaker 6: We touched.
Speaker 1: It's no, we know it.
Speaker 2: No, it's not COVID. We touched.
Speaker 1: But the human connection I have with this young girl
Speaker 1: putting the coins in her hand was gorgeous.
Speaker 5: There is a there is a much more serious side
Speaker 5: of this though, I don't mean. There's been lots of
Speaker 5: conversations recently around domestic violence in the media and I
Speaker 5: think no, but it's very important. There is I think
Speaker 5: financial abuse and having situations where women aren't able to
Speaker 5: access money and cash not being around. There's a big
Speaker 5: and greater conversation there that probably doesn't need to have
Speaker 5: him pick up and put down.
Speaker 3: But I agree, let's not go completely cash less.
Speaker 2: Off the pack of my cheeseburgers. It's a good way topic,
Speaker 2: but I don't think at the time, all right, pick up,
Speaker 2: put down. Perfume for dogs.
Speaker 3: Pick it up.
Speaker 4: I love to spray my dog Delilah with like her
Speaker 4: doggy perfume.
Speaker 6: Okay, I mean, let's not talk about the heart eating things.
Speaker 1: What do you got for Italian fashion house dog Cha
Speaker 1: and Gobana have launched a dog perfume named Fefe. It's
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty six Australian dollars and it smells
Speaker 1: like sandal wood with creamy undertones of must It.
Speaker 4: Should be cooled down dog Cha and Gabana, this is okay,
Speaker 4: it's the stupid thing.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 5: Dog Chair and Gabana's funny. Thanks, So yeah, I'm glad
Speaker 5: you over these moments.
Speaker 2: Dog Chay and Gobarka.
Speaker 3: After one up me, don't you?
Speaker 6: Is your horse bigger? What does that mean?
Speaker 2: Is your horse bigger?
Speaker 6: I'm gonna put it down. I think this is where
Speaker 6: we should draw the line.
Speaker 5: One hundred and sixty six dollars for some dog spray
Speaker 5: seems really excessive, and in this economy, I'm not for it.
Speaker 4: I'm picking up the perfume for dogs, but I'm putting
Speaker 4: down the dog chain Gebarkner because that's too expensive.
Speaker 3: Just get like a freshener from down their own.
Speaker 1: Or you don't want to talk about the animal welfare
Speaker 1: consequences of this, anything you want to.
Speaker 6: Add, Laura, wait, somebody think of the animal stop.
Speaker 2: Last one, pick up, put down?
Speaker 1: Snacking on food while you're still shopping in the grocery store.
Speaker 6: What I know what Laura is gonna do.
Speaker 5: I'm going to pick this up, but I also have
Speaker 5: strong feelings about it. I'll let you go first, Mitch.
Speaker 1: The story is in the UK it is technically illegal
Speaker 1: to shop eat tonight them before you pay for it,
Speaker 1: even if you do pay for it.
Speaker 5: At the end, I think this is ridiculous. Firstly, everyone
Speaker 5: loves a little grape. You know, you take a little grape,
Speaker 5: go test the grapes. No one wants to buy a
Speaker 5: whole bunch without just having a little.
Speaker 3: Chest to test the entire where's the limit?
Speaker 6: Can you just test an apple? You know, test a banana?
Speaker 5: I do like it At Woolies, how for kids especially,
Speaker 5: they've got this little section where you can take one
Speaker 5: piece of fruit. But what we always do is like
Speaker 5: if we're walking around and I'm buying yogurts or whatever,
Speaker 5: I'll let the girls eat one, but then I'll take
Speaker 5: the empty packet and I'll pay for it.
Speaker 4: I growing up, I remember this, four of us kids,
Speaker 4: and we would get a cabanossi stick like so with.
Speaker 2: The deli you would tie that first.
Speaker 4: Mum would go to the deli and get the sticker out,
Speaker 4: so like you say, I'll have a kilo. Then they
Speaker 4: put the price on it. Yeah, so then she would
Speaker 4: unravel it and we just had a huge.
Speaker 2: Stick of meat.
Speaker 3: We should just walk around a stick of meat.
Speaker 2: You know what for shel Churry used to do.
Speaker 1: She used to get a barbecue truck, but we'd eat
Speaker 1: the skin as the treat while we would shop, and
Speaker 1: she'd just peel the skin off, and we'd sit there
Speaker 1: walking around calls with the skin dripping in.
Speaker 6: That was a bit messy.
Speaker 1: Oh, you guys got great story reactions. And here I
Speaker 1: am the fool that eats the chickens skins.
Speaker 2: Screw you all.
Speaker 4: Hey, two words you never thought you'd hear in the
Speaker 4: same sentence, Rihanna and soccer. We're going to talk about
Speaker 4: a disastrous moment that she had after the break.
Speaker 2: All right, that's the next on the pickup.
Speaker 3: So Mitch and Laura.
Speaker 4: I feel like there are certain people in life that
Speaker 4: like can only have one name and you know who
Speaker 4: they are and see a photo of them, like you know,
Speaker 4: Minna Madonnay Beyond. I was going to say, for example, Mitch,
Speaker 4: you couldn't use your name. You couldn't just say Mitch,
Speaker 4: you're not there yet, thank you.
Speaker 2: We've got the clarity. Anyone else in the car thought
Speaker 2: she was angling down to Mitch.
Speaker 4: Cherry round Brittany, but you'd be like Britney Spears, Like
Speaker 4: there are people that can just have a name, and
Speaker 4: one of them is global superstar Rihanna, absolutely huge.
Speaker 3: So recently, the funniest thing went down online.
Speaker 4: She was at a Manchester City football game like a
Speaker 4: soccer game, and one of the football players there, Jack
Speaker 4: Graylish's huge the best.
Speaker 3: You guys wouldn't know that, but it is, so.
Speaker 2: She's I actually love.
Speaker 6: It because I it's my favorite.
Speaker 4: If you don't know, if you don't following soccer, you're
Speaker 4: not gonna know who The problem is.
Speaker 3: I don't know who anyone is. Yes, do you know Rihanna?
Speaker 4: Know?
Speaker 2: So she's she's a set of back got and pick.
Speaker 6: Her in a light up.
Speaker 4: Rihanna's with some of the biggest players and she's just
Speaker 4: hanging out with them. And then this kid comes up
Speaker 4: and asks for a photo, and Rihanna for a second,
Speaker 4: I'm assuming thinks that's probably her, but he hands Rouanda
Speaker 4: the phone. He's got no idea who Rihanna is, and
Speaker 4: he asks Rihanna to take a photo of him with
Speaker 4: the football players, and of.
Speaker 6: Course she does so cute.
Speaker 4: But then the internet's gone wild, being like half of
Speaker 4: them is like, how didn't you know that that was Rihanna?
Speaker 4: The other half is blaming Rihanna, being like, you know
Speaker 4: what fair? She hasn't released an album in ten years,
Speaker 4: she's been out of.
Speaker 5: Yeah, she has hasn't she she's kind of been out
Speaker 5: of the like I guess in the scene a little bit.
Speaker 5: But this kid's like ten years old.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you're young, you don't know because she's she
Speaker 4: became a mum and then opened businesses and she didn't
Speaker 4: drop music anymore.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 5: I can relate to this because I feel like, out
Speaker 5: of the three of us, I'm the one that never
Speaker 5: knows who anyone is.
Speaker 6: You say a name, I don't know who you're talking about.
Speaker 6: This happened to me. It must have been I reckon.
Speaker 5: It was probably around twenty fifteen, like it was a
Speaker 5: long time ago now, but I was in my shop
Speaker 5: at the time, and I was working in my store
Speaker 5: and this woman came in and she was buying something
Speaker 5: and from yeah, Tony Mae jewelry store. So she came in,
Speaker 5: she was buying something and she was from America. She
Speaker 5: had a really thick accent, and she was like, do
Speaker 5: you know what, Just wait, I'm gonna get my husband.
Speaker 5: And her husband came in and I was just making
Speaker 5: chit chat to this lovely couple and I was like, Oh,
Speaker 5: what are you here for? And he was like, oh,
Speaker 5: I'm here, I'm playing, I'm performing.
Speaker 6: And I was like, what do you play? And he
Speaker 6: was like, I play the guitar and I was like,
Speaker 6: good for you.
Speaker 3: It was sting or something.
Speaker 5: Well, no, this went on for a little while and
Speaker 5: he goes, he goes. I said, oh, like who do you?
Speaker 2: What are you?
Speaker 6: What are you playing?
Speaker 5: And he goes, oh have you have you ever heard
Speaker 5: of the band Motley Crue? And I instantly assumed when
Speaker 5: he said Motley Crue, I was like, oh, like a
Speaker 5: cover's ban And I was like, God, it must be
Speaker 5: really hard to It must be really hard to make
Speaker 5: money as a musician, you know, like that's it's really challenging.
Speaker 5: His wife kind of laughed a little bit, and then
Speaker 5: this went on for a while. Anyway, brought some jewelry
Speaker 5: off they went, and at that same time, about fifteen
Speaker 5: people came running out to me and they're like, oh
Speaker 5: my god, do you know who that was?
Speaker 6: Like, yeah, is here doing a cover?
Speaker 5: Spand for Maulty Crue it was Alice Cooper, you know,
