Speaker 1: Laura, come on, Welcome to Monday on thanks of Kevas
Speaker 1: swear House, great savings every day.
Speaker 2: It's the pickup.
Speaker 3: Hello, Mandy Graw weekend, didn't we all have a very
Speaker 3: different weekends? Britta and I we were in all Laru
Speaker 3: in the Northern Territory getting bitten by camels and Mitch,
Speaker 3: you're getting bitten by drag queens.
Speaker 1: Okay, that didn't happened once. Actually on the parade, they
Speaker 1: liked it.
Speaker 2: I loved it.
Speaker 1: Actually they weren't too different from each other because humps
Speaker 1: were involved in both events.
Speaker 4: Did you get who humped?
Speaker 2: God? Yeah, well you were on the.
Speaker 5: Camel's and you're just humped down on swid Street.
Speaker 3: Yeah, can't wait to hear all about that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we'll be talking about my Marty Gros experience
Speaker 1: because it was a history making Marti Gras Anthony Albanezi
Speaker 1: made history this year, our Prime minister.
Speaker 3: Well, speaking of history making. Last night, it was also
Speaker 3: Olivia Newton John's public memorial and we have her niece
Speaker 3: joining us. Her name is Toddy Goldsmith and I'm really
Speaker 3: looking forward touting that. It was a beautiful, beautiful ceremony.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the pickup around Australia for You're Monday and
Speaker 1: it starts right now. It's the pick up Monday afternoon
Speaker 1: here at Kiss Oh. Thanks to Chemist's Warehouse, you got Britt,
Speaker 1: Laura and Mitch heading today, great savings every day. You
Speaker 1: would have seen over the weekend, ladies. The beautiful state
Speaker 1: funeral that Melbourne threw for Olivia Newton John.
Speaker 3: Wasn't it so special? I don't think that there was
Speaker 3: a dry eye in the house watching that.
Speaker 5: I just think back to I mean, you've never heard
Speaker 5: one bad word ever about Olivia Newton John. Anyone you
Speaker 5: speak to, anyone that talks about it just says she
Speaker 5: was literally like a real life angel. But I think
Speaker 5: for our generation, I'm speaking on behalf of you, Laura.
Speaker 5: But it was Sandy in Greece. That was when we
Speaker 5: were teenageers. That's when I feel like I was really
Speaker 5: introduced to who she was and she was just at
Speaker 5: the top of a game literally from when we were
Speaker 5: like fifteen.
Speaker 1: So thousands gathered to celebrate Olivia Newton John. She did
Speaker 1: pass away in August last year after a long, long
Speaker 1: and very high fought battle with cancer. It was star
Speaker 1: started though there were some messages that came in from overseas.
Speaker 2: This was a beautiful part.
Speaker 4: I looked up to.
Speaker 3: Her so much and I loved her songs, and when
Speaker 3: I got to meet her, she was just as nice
Speaker 3: as she.
Speaker 2: Was a star.
Speaker 5: I had the honor of shing with her several times,
Speaker 5: and I consider her a great friend as well as
Speaker 5: a fellow.
Speaker 4: Aaron care and Olivia can quote one of your songs.
Speaker 1: I honestly love you.
Speaker 3: She was an absolute angel.
Speaker 2: She was one of the kindest, most present, just late
Speaker 2: filled beings walking around this earth.
Speaker 1: No one, of course more heartbroken that she's no longer
Speaker 1: with us than her family. And joining us on the
Speaker 1: line now is Toddy Goldsmith, Olivia Newton John's niece.
Speaker 2: She's here. First of all, thank you for being on
Speaker 2: the show. Totty. How are you?
Speaker 4: I'm good. It's beautiful to reminate from such an extraordinary service, Toddy.
Speaker 5: Thousands and thousands of people gathered for the service yesterday.
Speaker 5: It was so incredible to watch. What was it like
Speaker 5: for you and your family just to see so many
Speaker 5: people turn up that loved Olivia.
Speaker 4: I think when she first passed away and we saw
Speaker 4: it on a global level, the impact of her really
Speaker 4: blew us away, like we were being sent front covers
Speaker 4: of magazines from Italy and Spain and Israel, and it
Speaker 4: was really mind blowing. I was just listening to you
Speaker 4: talking about no one ever had a bad word today
Speaker 4: about her. The world loved her.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I feel like everybody feels like they knew her,
Speaker 3: Like everyone feels like she was a friend.
Speaker 4: And that's what comes from people when they have deep,
Speaker 4: embassy and lots of love. It radiates through them and
Speaker 4: it travels through the television screens from her voice. Because
Speaker 4: she was such a pure human being. Her intentions was
Speaker 4: so honorable and pure, just a really deeply kind human
Speaker 4: being and everyone felt it. So that's what I felt
Speaker 4: a bond to her. She touched into that part of them. Well.
Speaker 3: I think one of the most beautiful speeches of the night,
Speaker 3: it was also given by her husband. This is what
Speaker 3: he had to say.
Speaker 6: We're just talking about how lucky we were to have
Speaker 6: found each other, and how in love we were, and
Speaker 6: how much happiness we were experiencing.
Speaker 3: What was it like in that time when John got
Speaker 3: up and said his speech. What was the atmosphere like
Speaker 3: in the room.
Speaker 4: It's really quiet. You could have heard a pin drop.
Speaker 4: Everyone hung off every word because it took people inside
Speaker 4: the spiritual side of Olivia and the love side and
Speaker 4: the whole room. It was really interesting when I first
Speaker 4: walked into Hammer Hall and people started coming in. The
Speaker 4: warmth and love in that room was unbelievable.
Speaker 5: Tony, you just mentioned that people around the world that
Speaker 5: you didn't expect. These magazine comes in Italy, people that
Speaker 5: were reaching out to you, and we also heard some
Speaker 5: of the biggest stars in the world, Marai Carey, Dolly
Speaker 5: parton Pink. Do you think Olivia had any idea herself
Speaker 5: of the impact that she had in the world and
Speaker 5: in the entertainment industry.
Speaker 4: There's a little bit of yes and no. There's a
Speaker 4: little bit of she understood. You know, she was knighted,
Speaker 4: she was honored here with an honor of Australia. She
Speaker 4: knew to a degree, but her focus was so on
Speaker 4: the wellness center and on a legacy of leaving and
Speaker 4: helping people. But I just don't think she really sat
Speaker 4: down and thought about it a whole lot, I know,
Speaker 4: but I think when all this happened, I can see her,
Speaker 4: like we were talking about as a family when she
Speaker 4: passed in the world just blew up. It was a
Speaker 4: bit like the Lady Die moment. And we can see
Speaker 4: I can see her going, and she would have she
Speaker 4: would have been crying in a beautiful way with gratitude
Speaker 4: because she was such a she lived in a place
Speaker 4: of gratitude.
Speaker 1: That everyone had that exact same feeling towards her. I
Speaker 1: want to ask about the Wellness Center. I'm the Livington
Speaker 1: John Wellness and Research Center, because she's leaving behind such
Speaker 1: a massive legacy, and she spent, you know, many of
Speaker 1: her last years working towards that center.
Speaker 2: What's the future for it? Do you guys have plans?
Speaker 2: It will continue?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it will.
Speaker 4: You know, I've been working, we'd live on it since
Speaker 4: before it was a hole in the ground. And she
Speaker 4: chose me, and she knew that i'd step up, and
Speaker 4: she trained me, and I did a lot of the
Speaker 4: walking around the hospital with her, a lot of the
Speaker 4: background stuff. She said to me a couple of times,
Speaker 4: you know, I'm passing you the baton plunker, I know,
Speaker 4: and you know, it was really Yeah, it's very strange
Speaker 4: not having at the hospital, but it's beautiful, you know.
Speaker 4: And so anyway, Chloe and I are going out there
Speaker 4: on Wednesday. But it's pretty strange that changed.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: I think Australia, the whole world loves her, but it's
Speaker 3: hearing from somebody who knew her, who got to love
Speaker 3: her in real life. It's just such a you think.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for coming, and thank you.
Speaker 5: We've been crying every time we've listened or spoken about it.
Speaker 5: This morning before we've all had the tears in our eyes.
Speaker 4: So yeah, thank you for having me on.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Toddy Goldsmith, everyone, the living Newton John's niece beautiful.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what and if you can donate to
Speaker 1: the Wellness Center, head online and send some cash because
Speaker 1: it's doing some great work.
Speaker 7: Well.
Speaker 5: Look, speaking of big weekends, I don't know if you
Speaker 5: guys have seen, there has been a man, a groom
Speaker 5: who was caught in a very very compromising act at
Speaker 5: his wedding with his mother. Yeah, I'm going to tell
Speaker 5: you about it after the break.
Speaker 1: That's next. The pickup Monday on. Kiss Britt, Laura and
Speaker 1: midchere at the pickup thanks to Chemist Warehouse great savings
Speaker 1: every day head on him.
Speaker 5: Okay, guys, this you're gonna have to pick your drawer
Speaker 5: up off the ground, and you're gonna have to believe me.
Speaker 3: This is a real thing.
Speaker 5: Thank you. A groom has been busted in the ultimate act.
Speaker 5: I was gonna say the ultimate betrayal. I don't even
Speaker 5: know the word, the ultimate act. Right before he was
Speaker 5: about to get married. They're in the church having the ceremony.
Speaker 5: The bride goes to the toilet. The groom disappears to
Speaker 5: do whatever he's doing. The bride's walking back. She glances
Speaker 5: to her right and she sees none other than her
Speaker 5: soon to be husband latched on to his own mother's
Speaker 5: breast and he is he's getting one last pick me
Speaker 5: up shot, and he's breastfeeding before he gets married. Now,
Speaker 5: this is a grown man, Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 3: Apparently it's real.
Speaker 5: Apparently he's a man that still feeds from his mother.
Speaker 5: And he got one last shot before he said.
Speaker 2: I shot, Yeah, a shot like a baby's it is.
Speaker 3: Do you know, as a mum, I've always said, like,
Speaker 3: if people want a breastfeed for a long time, like everyone,
Speaker 3: it's up to everyone's own personal choice. Some people brestfeed
Speaker 3: their kids into their toddlers. Do you know I was
Speaker 3: breastfed until I was three.
Speaker 5: That's Okay, a limit.
Speaker 3: I don't know when the limit is, but there is
Speaker 3: a limit, and it's certainly before you're walking down the ie.
Speaker 1: Breastfeeding works because you can hold the baby because they're
Speaker 1: so tiny and at boom hype.
Speaker 3: No, they can hold you.
Speaker 1: But man, was he being swaddled?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 5: Would you, Laura, being a female, would you? I mean you, Mitch,
Speaker 5: you're gay. If you were marrying a man and he
Speaker 5: was doing this, would you still go and say I do?
Speaker 5: Two seconds after and you've got to kiss the No,
Speaker 5: kiss the Brian after he's his mother's teeth.
Speaker 2: Imagine that you've got to wipe the milk mow off.
Speaker 3: I really think that this is redefined the whole like
Speaker 3: Mumma's boy.
Speaker 5: Would you still get married?
Speaker 2: Would you do it?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: No, because he's hiding a whole, separate life from me.
Speaker 3: He's still being breastfed by his mother. There's some attachment
Speaker 3: issues there we need to work through how.
Speaker 2: I don't know how this works. Don't the wells dry
Speaker 2: up after a couple of years?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: I mean some people do, But no, I think that
Speaker 3: some people can breastfeed for like forever. If you keep
Speaker 3: on breastfeeding but.
Speaker 5: How bad to work. It has to be consistent, not
Speaker 5: like this once a week. You've got to be doing
Speaker 5: it daily. So is he going around to his mom's
Speaker 5: like mum just needs me to hang up a painting
Speaker 5: and he's going to get it here, and like latching
Speaker 5: onto the boot or baby?
Speaker 3: Is she still pumping? I don't know, do you know what?
Speaker 3: I have a lot of questions, But I do actually
Speaker 3: have a friend who is a dueler. She's a midwife.
Speaker 2: Get her on.
Speaker 3: We can give her a call and find out the
Speaker 3: logistics as to whether this could be true or not.
Speaker 2: Okay, well she's here now. Her name is Adler. I
Speaker 2: thought no her name. Welcome to the pickup.
Speaker 1: How are you?
Speaker 8: Thank you so much? Welcome, Welcome.
Speaker 3: She's got some questions because we've got some anatomical questions
Speaker 3: around the logistics of breastfeeding for thirty three years? Is
Speaker 3: it possible once you've had a baby, if you start breastfeeding,
Speaker 3: how long can you breastfeed for?
Speaker 8: So you really can breastfeed for as long as your
Speaker 8: breast continue to produce milk. And the way that that
Speaker 8: happens is that your breath needs to be stimulated. So
Speaker 8: either that can be what would traditionally be a baby
Speaker 8: to the breast or any kind of expressing, so any
Speaker 8: tool that would stimulate the glands to continue to produce milk.
Speaker 3: So maybe in this instance he wasn't going to his
Speaker 3: mum's for a daily kid. Maybe she was continuing expressing
Speaker 3: because she knew it was like you know, special occasions
Speaker 3: and the wedding day on a birthday, so often he
Speaker 3: was allowed to just you know, here's your dream on
Speaker 3: a milkshake.
Speaker 2: It's kind of okay if it's just for both, it
Speaker 2: is never No.
Speaker 5: I'm like, I think you can breastfeed your kid as
Speaker 5: long as you want, but I think the key word
Speaker 5: there is kid is child. When you're thirty three, you
Speaker 5: can't jump on your mum's boom anymore.
Speaker 3: I have one more question, okay, because like they do
Speaker 3: say that the longer you breastfeed, for the better it is,
Speaker 3: you know, for immunity, for health, for strong bones.
Speaker 5: Is you like the whole Yeah, like what one?
Speaker 3: At what point in time does it have an expiration day? Like, okay,
Speaker 3: you're twenty two. The milk ain't doing nothing now.
Speaker 8: So there's totally recommendations around this. They say, like the
Speaker 8: world Health Organization recommends bread feeding your child up to
Speaker 8: two years of age.
Speaker 5: Okay, not thirty two said not that passed the Expisson date.
Speaker 3: Time to check the milk out being up to the
Speaker 3: bottom of that.
Speaker 1: Hey worry, We will bring you updates so we will
Speaker 1: continue milking the story.
Speaker 2: It's worth into the future.
Speaker 3: Speaking of that titties, Midstuy, you saw a lot of
Speaker 3: them on the weekend.
Speaker 2: Well, there it is.
Speaker 3: It is you, Midstury. You're at Marti Gras And what
Speaker 3: a Martigra was one of the history books.
Speaker 2: It really was.
Speaker 1: Anthony Albanezi has made history. And it's not because he
Speaker 1: was drunk on the Oxford Street. Because he was, but
Speaker 1: that wasn't the history making moment. Something else happened and
Speaker 1: it's actually quite beautiful. So we'll unpack Martigra twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: Next the pick up right around Australia Monday afternoon. It's
Speaker 1: the pickup with Britt Laura and Midge Blackmore's executive b
Speaker 1: Stress Formulas two fifties are available now at Chemist Warehouse
Speaker 1: for just forty nine ninety nine. Always read the label
Speaker 1: and follow the directions for use. Apologies if I'm a
Speaker 1: bit dusty today ladies.
Speaker 3: Because it's martigra Is, it still Marti Gras. I feel
Speaker 3: like you're still looking to hvel yahndon.
Speaker 5: Bed So technically it's still more Marnigra.
Speaker 2: Loo call what is World Pride? So it actually lasts
Speaker 2: for two weeks.
Speaker 1: So Kylie Minogue and Danny Minogue opened World Pride on
Speaker 1: Friday night in Sydney at the Domain.
Speaker 2: I was there. Groundbreaking, truly changed my life.
Speaker 3: I'm so sad that we couldn't be there. We were
Speaker 3: at in Ularu and you were in Sydney getting your
Speaker 3: party on.
Speaker 2: What was it like?
Speaker 3: Tell us, tell us of all the details.
Speaker 1: It was so amazing, truly like Marti gra Is, such
Speaker 1: a great time of the year. And if you guys
Speaker 1: don't know, it's basically a festival celebrating love the lgbt
Speaker 1: QYA plus community with a giant parade down Oxford Street
Speaker 1: in Sydney, CBD.
Speaker 2: It's been going on for years.
Speaker 1: World Pride is like the Olympics of Marti Gras. Every
Speaker 1: year one city. It's like the Hunger Games, but no
Speaker 1: one dies, do I think everyone just parties, well.
Speaker 3: We hope, so just with a feather bowls and a
Speaker 3: lot of glitter and very few clothing.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, so it's kind of like that hungry.
Speaker 3: Do you think it's getting bigger and bigger every year? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Do you think the festival just has looked online this
Speaker 3: year like out of control? My Instagram feed was flooded
Speaker 3: by Marti Gras.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was absolutely a massive Do you know what.
Speaker 5: I just thought you'd be so stoked. I know that
Speaker 5: you were such a fan of stands.
Speaker 3: You know, RuPaul Drag Race.
Speaker 5: Of course you you're obsessed with that, and I just
Speaker 5: thought Mitch Cheri is living his wildest dreams because I
Speaker 5: saw footage of you with the drag queen, I know.
Speaker 1: So I went from watching the new episode on Saturday
Speaker 1: because they dropped Saturdays in the stand. So I watched
Speaker 1: the new episode of RuPaul's Drag Race, and then I
Speaker 1: went out to the parade and was dancing with queens
Speaker 1: from RuPaul's Drag Race down like a.
Speaker 5: Kid in a candy store, and I was trying to
Speaker 5: be cool.
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, so, oh, what kind of weeks?
Speaker 7: Is that?
Speaker 2: A Lace Front week?
Speaker 7: Like?
Speaker 2: I watched so much of it. I think I know
Speaker 2: this thing.
Speaker 3: Do you pretend like you don't know them? Or do
Speaker 3: you just are you just like I'm a looser. I
Speaker 3: love you and here I pretend you know them, but like,
Speaker 3: but be cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you want them to follow you back on Instagram?
Speaker 5: Yeah, like you like lack for like fellow for follow Yes, yeah,
Speaker 5: and they didn't follow me back.
Speaker 3: This has been like truly a remarkable year. Anthony Auberneezy
Speaker 3: was there and he was well and truly getting involved
Speaker 3: in the festival.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, have you guys seen the audio of
Speaker 1: Elbow on Oxford Street in Sydney? Albow bad? Yeah, we'll
Speaker 1: play this. Keep in mind I think he's blind drunk.
Speaker 1: Have a listened to this things.
Speaker 2: It's just my thirty fifth Mardi Gras. The first one
Speaker 2: was not three. I'm showing my ache.
Speaker 5: If my first one is prime Minister, that is a
Speaker 5: significant moment.
Speaker 7: It's unfortunate that I am the first, but this is
Speaker 7: a celebration of modern Australia. We're diverse, inclusive Australia and
Speaker 7: that's a good thing.
Speaker 5: He is definitely off his chops, isn't he Like he's
Speaker 5: a loose cannon right there, which is I think is
Speaker 5: really cool to see. But it is history making. He
Speaker 5: is the first prime minister to go and attend Mardi Gras.
Speaker 5: How does it feel for you, Mitch, being queer, how
Speaker 5: does it feel for you to see him there as
Speaker 5: our leader for the very first time?
Speaker 2: I know it kind of feels.
Speaker 1: It was emotional because, if I think, this is my opinion,
Speaker 1: we had such a terrible prime minister for the last
Speaker 1: however many years with Scott Morrison, and he did nothing
Speaker 1: for queer Australians, truly nothing, if anything, we went backwards.
Speaker 1: So to then have such a three to sixty and
Speaker 1: have albow marching and not someone who just did it
Speaker 1: for the act to be interviewed thirty fifth Marty great
Speaker 1: was beautiful.
Speaker 3: Well that's the thing. A lot of people jumped on
Speaker 3: the bed wagon was saying, Oh, it's performative, he's just
Speaker 3: doing it because you know, he's trying to like win
Speaker 3: over the lefties. But that's just it. I love that
Speaker 3: they got that grab and it's his thirty fifth one,
Speaker 3: even if he was loose as a goose and having
Speaker 3: a good guy yeah yeah, but it just shows like
Speaker 3: how much we are progressing.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well this is the fiftieth Marti grat in
Speaker 1: Sydney and fifty years ago. It wasn't a parade. It
Speaker 1: was a protest because the people that were out there
Speaker 1: celebrating were protesting because they were being thrown in jail
Speaker 1: on twists. The jail in Pott's Point that they were
Speaker 1: held is now officially the lgbt QI plus Memorial Museum.
Speaker 2: That initially this was a fun twist.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't know where you were going with that twist. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so where they were once held fifty years ago it
Speaker 1: is now. You know, you can celebrate and wear Arsele's chaps,
Speaker 1: which is why you need is what we did. I
Speaker 1: will say disappointed that Albow wasn't in Arsele's chaps. I
Speaker 1: think that would have been the cherry on the cave
Speaker 1: next year. It would have been like a real life,
Speaker 1: in person democracy sausage.
Speaker 3: No one wants to see fination.
Speaker 2: No, I don't actually know.
Speaker 1: All right, well, Marti gra continues, So enjoy celebrating into
Speaker 1: the week. Guys, we're out of here. We're heading off.
Speaker 1: Will and Woody are up next with Bow Ryan.
Speaker 3: I love bo Ryan, stick around, have a great Monday night.
Speaker 5: So yeah,
