Speaker 1: It is to pick up around the country. Tuesday Afternoon, Britt,
Speaker 1: Laura and Mitch thanks to Chemist Warehouse heading today Great
Speaker 1: Savings every Day.
Speaker 2: So we've just been discussing this viral TikTok that has
Speaker 2: been making the rounds, and it was from a woman
Speaker 2: who was cat called, and off the back of the
Speaker 2: cat call, she had a really amazing clap back. This
Speaker 2: is what she had to say.
Speaker 3: This man just cat called me out the front of
Speaker 3: a construction site, and so I yelled back at him, sorry,
Speaker 3: I don't have any change. The way that all the
Speaker 3: men on the construction site started laughing at him and
Speaker 3: pointing out him and made him feel so shit. It's
Speaker 3: that simple.
Speaker 4: Sorry, don't have any change.
Speaker 3: Now, Laura.
Speaker 5: This has got me thinking back to a story when
Speaker 5: I was younger, because my dad, Tony Hockley, is a
Speaker 5: build he has been his whole life. And I remember
Speaker 5: being cat called once when I was walking past the
Speaker 5: construction site and it was my dad's construction site and
Speaker 5: it was somebody else that cat called me.
Speaker 4: Bret.
Speaker 2: How old were you at the time.
Speaker 5: I must have been somewhere, like I'm trying to remember myself,
Speaker 5: maybe between seventeen and twenty five, like I honestly I
Speaker 5: was young. I was on a twenty It was next
Speaker 5: with shopping center. I even remember the place like it
Speaker 5: was so long ago, and I remember every day was
Speaker 5: helpping in to see your dad. Yeah, and my dad
Speaker 5: ended up sticking up for me, And I wonder if
Speaker 5: he remembers that story like I remember. So we've called.
Speaker 1: Him all right, it joins us now Tony Hockley, BRIT's dad.
Speaker 1: Hello mate, welcome to the pickup.
Speaker 3: Dad.
Speaker 5: We were just talking on the radio about like cat
Speaker 5: calling and how it's more times than not from a
Speaker 5: construction site, like all these builders yell out and they
Speaker 5: think it's funny in a woolf whistle and like yell
Speaker 5: out different derogatory things to women walking past women and girls,
Speaker 5: I should say, and got me thinking I remember and
Speaker 5: I can't remember, like I was under twenty five. I
Speaker 5: know that I remember walking past a job site and
Speaker 5: some guys on the construction site cat called me and
Speaker 5: started yelling out at me. And then I remember you
Speaker 5: poking your head out and it turns out it was
Speaker 5: your construction site and they didn't know that I was
Speaker 5: your daughter. They obviously.
Speaker 4: Do you. Yeah, I know where I was. It was
Speaker 4: the only where they used to sell a sort of
Speaker 4: stuffed potatoes for lunch. Were you together, Yes, that's exactly
Speaker 4: you were. You were there with Sheridan and your mom.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, and.
Speaker 4: We were we were building a high rise. These guys
Speaker 4: were sort of whistling and carrying on, and I wandered
Speaker 4: over to see what was going on. Actually I heard
Speaker 4: somebody say, hey you, so that's Hawker's that's Howker's wife
Speaker 4: and kids. That got my my interest, so I wanted
Speaker 4: over there. And but yeah, everybody was very very streepy.
Speaker 4: Should be out the whole team.
Speaker 5: And did you say any because I guess I never
Speaker 5: found out what happened on the other side of that,
Speaker 5: Like we I saw you prop your head out and
Speaker 5: then they all of a sudden there was no noise
Speaker 5: coming anymore.
Speaker 4: Well no, no, they all knew better. But basically what
Speaker 4: it did happened. You know, I said to these guys,
Speaker 4: look if you because they all said, oh, sorry, sorry,
Speaker 4: you know, and I see, well made. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter. It's is that that's my daughter's and
Speaker 4: my wife. But if you wouldn't do it, you know,
Speaker 4: if you're apologizing now because it's me, What about someone else's. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you know they're going to be fair income, pretty faired
Speaker 4: in So anyway, that was how it's how it went,
Speaker 4: and look at it. It made me realize and prior
Speaker 4: to that, to be honest proud of that. You know,
Speaker 4: I didn't think I mean a wolf wish. I didn't
Speaker 4: think was such a big deal yelling at the other
Speaker 4: stuff that the owner can get a bit. You know,
Speaker 4: it's bloody raucus at times. You know that's not on
Speaker 4: and that's never going on. But when it was my daughter,
Speaker 4: it made me think about it in a different perspective,
Speaker 4: someone else's. This is someone else's daughter, someone else.
Speaker 5: What every single woman is somebody's wife or daughter or sister.
Speaker 1: So why should it matter if you know that?
Speaker 5: Do you find dad now because you've been thirty forty
Speaker 5: years on the job site, do you see in like
Speaker 5: colleagues and other people, do you see a difference in
Speaker 5: how often it's happening, Because I know for me, obviously
Speaker 5: it happened a lot more when I was younger. But
Speaker 5: I don't know if that's just an age thing or
Speaker 5: if it's actually people are moving with the times and
Speaker 5: hopefully developing some level of respect. Do you see it's
Speaker 5: not happening as much.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Absolutely. I can't remember the last time that I
Speaker 4: either heard something that was yelled enough, you know, for
Speaker 4: the person and the woman girl that's amazing, good looking
Speaker 4: women's walking down the street and are working together. I say, gee,
Speaker 4: well look at you. Look. But I haven't heard anybody
Speaker 4: yell or make somebody feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: And you know, I think that the big lesson in
Speaker 2: this as well is is that, I mean, it's great
Speaker 2: for us to have conversations like this, but it's when
Speaker 2: other men police the behavior that's happening around them that's
Speaker 2: what has the biggest impact. You're a good man, mister,
Speaker 2: you are by the man.
Speaker 5: You are a good man.
Speaker 4: Child.
Speaker 5: I love you. Thanks for protecting me.
Speaker 1: All right, everybody. Over the weekend, I have my big
Speaker 1: birthday bash, my celebration. One of my co host, Laura
Speaker 1: was missing in action.
Speaker 3: God stop it.
Speaker 5: One of them stepped up to the plate and had
Speaker 5: to do a speech.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, you don't know about this, Laura, but grabbed
Speaker 1: the microphone and took over the party. And I'm not surprised.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll talk about the truth later.
Speaker 1: I went down at a party after this, on the
Speaker 1: pickup
