Speaker 1: Come on, everyone, we are what was the anxious? Hello?
Speaker 2: Oh everybody, I'm very nervous. I don't feel well, and
Speaker 2: all I'm doing is refreshing Google over and over and
Speaker 2: over to see what's happening with these results.
Speaker 1: In the US election.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Is there anyone in Australia right now who doesn't know
Speaker 2: what we're talking You might have.
Speaker 4: Been refreshing your high results.
Speaker 2: We don't know. I haven't a tested for those ages.
Speaker 2: I hope that my husband's faithful enough that I don't.
Speaker 1: Have to Guys, do you think he's going to win again? Trump?
Speaker 1: What do you think?
Speaker 4: It's hard to know at this point. I want to
Speaker 4: put it out to the universe.
Speaker 5: No, I want to say that Kamla's got it in
Speaker 5: the bag, but I don't even want to say it
Speaker 5: out loud.
Speaker 4: I think there's a high chance he.
Speaker 1: Had a strong start.
Speaker 6: Right now, all the all the western states are now
Speaker 6: being counted, so that she might get up there.
Speaker 1: We just don't know.
Speaker 2: Do they call it the blue wave? You were speaking
Speaker 2: about it before, Like all of her states will soon
Speaker 2: be counted, and that's kind of like when things might
Speaker 2: even out of it more.
Speaker 6: Yeah, all the left leading states are on the West coast,
Speaker 6: like California and Nevada, blah blah blah. So yeah, and
Speaker 6: they're four out three hours behind New York, so they
Speaker 6: get counted three hours later, so it might still swing
Speaker 6: her way. However you stand on the election, it is stressful.
Speaker 6: We can distract you today, so my numbing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because we do have pick up put down, and
Speaker 2: Mitch is going to bring all the most important news articles.
Speaker 2: And let me tell you, it won't be this because
Speaker 2: the things he brings are never as important as this.
Speaker 6: Hard to think that there's other news in the world
Speaker 6: that isn't the election. But there is a famous pygmy
Speaker 6: hippo that has been canceled overnight, and I need to
Speaker 6: tell you about it.
Speaker 4: I hate cancel culture.
Speaker 3: I can't go on without knowing.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. And Trump is involved. Trump and a hippo.
Speaker 1: He in issues with a hippo. What I don't understand that.
Speaker 1: I'm stressed. It's a pickup. Welcome to the show. You
Speaker 1: want to smell good? Got a chemist ware house?
Speaker 6: I always said that spoil yourself to you love ones
Speaker 6: this Christmas with big.
Speaker 1: Brand fragrances at the lowest prices. You like Izymaki, britt
Speaker 1: don't you I do.
Speaker 4: I'm a big Zimki fan. Not personally.
Speaker 1: I don't know h but I love it's him and
Speaker 1: his past away is he isn't him?
Speaker 3: Is he him?
Speaker 4: I told you didn't know him?
Speaker 1: Right there?
Speaker 2: You can't.
Speaker 1: It's too pick up down all the big stories of
Speaker 1: the week that I bring to you, Brittla, Are you
Speaker 1: decide we pick it up we keep talking about it,
Speaker 1: or we put it down, we stop talking about it.
Speaker 1: Kind of in the middle of the US elections, I want.
Speaker 2: To say, are we only talking about the election? Are
Speaker 2: we going to stick clear entirely?
Speaker 1: You know what it's It's on every news channel around
Speaker 1: the world right now. This is an election free space
Speaker 1: as we speak.
Speaker 2: It's literally on in in the studio scary scary stuff.
Speaker 6: No, no, no, we're talking. This is scary to say. But
Speaker 6: news topics bigger than the election.
Speaker 2: I don't believe for one second. I know the type
Speaker 2: of topics that you bring to the segment, Mitch. They're questionable.
Speaker 1: Pick up, put down, MoU dang, the pygmy hippo getting canceled.
Speaker 4: Is food, don't canceled?
Speaker 3: Put it down?
Speaker 4: Is nothing safe?
Speaker 3: Put it down like Nola.
Speaker 2: He deserves to.
Speaker 1: Live, does she she?
Speaker 4: I'm really not going my pronouns today. Don't mix all
Speaker 4: my pronounce don't put it.
Speaker 3: Down, Moodang down.
Speaker 2: But I think surely, surely some people, or some things
Speaker 2: or some animals, she'd be free from cancelation.
Speaker 5: Is nothing safe here is what happened. She spems to
Speaker 5: be free from cages. But that's another mood.
Speaker 6: Well, she's got a very big enclosure, to be honest,
Speaker 6: she does quite well. She's famous, the small little pigmyhpow.
Speaker 6: She's always wet and run around with her mum in
Speaker 6: that zoo. She's virally famous. However, yesterday she was given
Speaker 6: two watermelons, one with Kamala Harris's face on it and
Speaker 6: one with Trump's face on it. She was then told
Speaker 6: Moodang pick the election who will win? And she ate
Speaker 6: the Trump watermelon?
Speaker 2: No, no, but she ate it, so she so then
Speaker 2: technically Kamala one because Kamala is still there, so she
Speaker 2: consumed Trump, she eliminated him, or.
Speaker 4: Maybe she's becoming one with Trump.
Speaker 2: I know, I think people just read this wrong. I
Speaker 2: think Mudang had it. The one that won is the
Speaker 2: one that still is surviving.
Speaker 5: Remember the famous octopus that you used to be able
Speaker 5: to pick every single game. People were paying it really
Speaker 5: big money, and it was an octopus and it was
Speaker 5: it was always picking, like he was going to win
Speaker 5: different games and stuff.
Speaker 1: Really, yeah, don't you remember that?
Speaker 4: It's eight tentacles was like picking, which.
Speaker 3: Remember the start of the Sting Ray.
Speaker 2: They got pregnant with that, having a male mate, and
Speaker 2: Britt was really obsessed with it.
Speaker 1: I'm happy for that to be put to sleep. Well,
Speaker 1: what our day is it today?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 1: Not our day? All right? I pick up? Put down.
Speaker 6: Taking your shoes off in the office.
Speaker 1: Pick it up.
Speaker 3: My shoes are off, pick it up.
Speaker 4: I'm here for it. Hip jewels off.
Speaker 2: I love it though, Like, yeah, I think you should
Speaker 2: be allowed to be shoeless in the office. I don't
Speaker 2: think that you can walk around shoeless. But if you're
Speaker 2: at your desk, take shoes off, live free.
Speaker 3: Let's wid you.
Speaker 1: Two just high five with the soles of your feet.
Speaker 4: I don't think you walk around with it like Laura.
Speaker 5: But every time I sit, I always take my shoes
Speaker 5: off and then my legs are up and I'll yeah,
Speaker 5: I'll never sit normally.
Speaker 6: It's a weird ozzy thing, isn't it you know where
Speaker 6: I think it's okay to have your shoes off.
Speaker 1: Is it a Coles or a Woolies that's near the beat? No,
Speaker 1: If it's you're like a kilometer.
Speaker 5: From the beach, go for god, no shopping centers, nothing,
Speaker 5: You always have to put you there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I disagree with you.
Speaker 2: I also just think that there's a there is a
Speaker 2: limit for everything when it comes to the beach, as in,
Speaker 2: like you can walk around without a shirt on and
Speaker 2: just your bikini top on, or like no shirt if
Speaker 2: you're a guy that as soon as you're one block
Speaker 2: from the beach put a shirt on, You're not to
Speaker 2: the beach anymore.
Speaker 3: There's rules the end, pick.
Speaker 1: Up, put down.
Speaker 6: Naming your baby and name you were planning on naming
Speaker 6: a future dog an anonymous couple of shit, Like, can
Speaker 6: you explain that you need the fact that they are
Speaker 6: they're pregnant with their third child and they're kind of
Speaker 6: added names and they said, well, we wanted to get
Speaker 6: a dog, but we felt pregnant first, and we have
Speaker 6: a great name planned for the dog, but we don't
Speaker 6: know if we're going to end up getting that dog now,
Speaker 6: So why don't we just give out baby that dog's name?
Speaker 3: What do we fine?
Speaker 2: I also think it's fine to name your kid after
Speaker 2: an animal that you love, heaps whatever, just don't tell
Speaker 2: the kid what you don't have to tell the child. Hey,
Speaker 2: we named you after Fido, Like you can just name
Speaker 2: the kid Fido. Also, like, my mum told me what
Speaker 2: I was named after, and I wish she never had.
Speaker 2: She named me Laura, or she thought she didn't. Actually
Speaker 2: she she named me Laura am Berne. But I was
Speaker 2: supposed to be Laura Ashley. And they were the sheets
Speaker 2: that I was conceived on. Yeah, but as that because
Speaker 2: my dad stopped, she got stopped and rightly so I know,
Speaker 2: thank god someone pulled her into line.
Speaker 1: If you were named kitchen tabletop teefo.
Speaker 4: I've had enough for this segment.
Speaker 5: Hey, we want to know next, how do you test
Speaker 5: for red flags on a first tape?
Speaker 4: Like what is your what is your first date? Question?
Speaker 5: Where you're like, I need to weed out if this
Speaker 5: is a goody or a baddie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're doing public service with this one.
Speaker 4: Basically God's work.
Speaker 5: After the break, I love talking about dating red flags.
Speaker 5: All the people in my past that have just been
Speaker 5: like truly horrific. The red flags I wish I saw
Speaker 5: at the time, but I wasn't educated enough to know about.
Speaker 3: But you had little blinkers on you thought they were
Speaker 3: party streamers.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Well, Olivia Rodrigo has come out and she's she's helping
Speaker 5: educate the world on her red flag.
Speaker 4: When she goes on a date.
Speaker 5: What is the number one thing that she will ask
Speaker 5: someone that will turn her off them.
Speaker 4: Listen to what she had to say the.
Speaker 1: Vegas red vig.
Speaker 2: Okay, this is a very oddly specific.
Speaker 1: Question that I ask guys on first dates.
Speaker 3: I always ask them.
Speaker 5: If they think that they would want to go to space,
Speaker 5: and if they say yes.
Speaker 1: I don't date. I just think if you want to
Speaker 1: go to space, you're a little too full of yourself.
Speaker 1: I think it's just.
Speaker 4: Where that's so dull.
Speaker 2: Imagine being like a huge celebrity, a huge celebrity, and
Speaker 2: then saying I'm not going to date a guy who
Speaker 2: wants to go to space because like their ambitions are
Speaker 2: too high, they're a bit full of themselves.
Speaker 1: Now I'm with her, I completely agree.
Speaker 6: It just screams that you are your ego is so
Speaker 6: large that you think you a simple man, a very boring,
Speaker 6: probably mediocre looking man, thinks that you deserve to go
Speaker 6: to space. No, you deserve to work. You casual shifted Bunnings.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: Why if it just screams that he has a sense
Speaker 4: of adventure.
Speaker 2: I would rather someone say that they want to go
Speaker 2: to out of space than write that they're adventurous on
Speaker 2: their dating.
Speaker 1: Productiles, can I let me give you a Let me
Speaker 1: give you a list of men that want to go
Speaker 1: to space, and you just tell me how hot you
Speaker 1: are under the collar, Laura, you think he's hot? No,
Speaker 1: I don't want to go to Bezos.
Speaker 6: Yeah, gorgeous William Shatner, his name has Shatner.
Speaker 2: I don't think.
Speaker 3: I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
Speaker 2: The question might be a dumb question, but I do
Speaker 2: think we could also do God's work here, because dating
Speaker 2: is hard, and you were in the trenches, and when
Speaker 2: you're on a first date sometimes you just want it
Speaker 2: to work so well and so much that you will
Speaker 2: overlook the things that could be obvious red flags. And
Speaker 2: I definitely think that there are questions that you can
Speaker 2: ask on a first date which would at least help
Speaker 2: you to sift through the absolute scum that is, you know,
Speaker 2: dating at the moment.
Speaker 4: I've got one.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would very casually over my brusquetta say hey,
Speaker 5: what do you think of Andrew Tate? Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 6: That's what I would say, very like straight to the point,
Speaker 6: like there's no subtle there, like what do you.
Speaker 1: Think of Trump?
Speaker 6: Who?
Speaker 4: Well, Olivia's asking, hey, do you want to go to space?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 2: My hot tip is if you're on a first date
Speaker 2: and you want to get to know whether the person
Speaker 2: is good or not, is ask them if they have
Speaker 2: like how do they what's their relationship like with their ex'es?
Speaker 2: Are they friends with any of their ex'es? Or they
Speaker 2: on amicable terms with their exes? Because if you're dating
Speaker 2: someone and they're like, oh, all my x'es are crazy,
Speaker 2: I'm like, actually, the common denominator in that it's probably you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I've got something to say about that, Laura.
Speaker 5: I'm going to reverse who know you? He will also
Speaker 5: or that other person will also be like, wow, she's crazy.
Speaker 4: First date and all she wants to talk about is
Speaker 4: my ex.
Speaker 5: You can't go in hot on a first date and
Speaker 5: ask about an ex.
Speaker 4: No one wants to talk about x's or hear about
Speaker 4: x's on a first.
Speaker 6: Give give us a call if you've got like a
Speaker 6: red flag question that you ask when you date. But
Speaker 6: mine is haws the relationship with your mom?
Speaker 1: Are you close with you?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 4: That's a good one.
Speaker 1: That always always tells you everything you need to know.
Speaker 2: You want them to be close, but you don't want
Speaker 2: them to be too close.
Speaker 1: Ashes called us high. What's your red flag question?
Speaker 2: Hey?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Mine is do you put the trolley away after shopping?
Speaker 1: That's good?
Speaker 4: That's good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he tells me. How consider it they are of
Speaker 1: other people, the world around them.
Speaker 5: I'm going to add to that people that park in
Speaker 5: disabled spots. I detest that.
Speaker 6: That's disgusting. Yeah, you should never be doing that. But
Speaker 6: mums and bubs, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I do that.
Speaker 5: Oh last one, what age did your mum stop making
Speaker 5: your lunch? Mit?
Speaker 4: Your mum still makes your lunch?
Speaker 2: A ship?
Speaker 1: No, she doesn't.
Speaker 3: When did she stop?
Speaker 1: She never stops? She never did. But she does make
Speaker 1: my dinners.
Speaker 3: And she does make your bed.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And I actually would really like to go
Speaker 1: to the Stratisfy I knew it. I think it'd be
Speaker 1: really fun.
Speaker 3: Dad These days, guys.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, the coming up, I want to talk
Speaker 2: about something which I think is utterly fascinating.
Speaker 3: We're all obsessed with true crime, right.
Speaker 6: Oh, we literally the whole country.
Speaker 4: True crime guilty.
Speaker 2: But the real question is when we are watching true
Speaker 2: crime for entertainment, who should be making money off that
Speaker 2: is the person who who the story is about, or
Speaker 2: is it the producers.
Speaker 4: And the actors themselves?
Speaker 2: A big question, an ethical question, a conundrum, one might say.
Speaker 2: Next on the pickup, have you guys seen that new
Speaker 2: movie on Netflix which is called Woman of the Hour
Speaker 2: with Anna Kendrick in it?
Speaker 4: I have. I've also listened to the Real podcast on it.
Speaker 2: Oh, if you guys haven't seen it, it's a it's
Speaker 2: a movie, but it's based on a true story and
Speaker 2: it's about a serial killer.
Speaker 3: In the States.
Speaker 2: Now it's I mean, it's one of those movies that
Speaker 2: when you watch it, it just stays with you and
Speaker 2: then you're laying in bed at night thinking, oh God.
Speaker 2: But we were having a bit of a conversation around
Speaker 2: the ethics of true crime and how it's become such
Speaker 2: a hugely popular entertainment medium, and the reason for that
Speaker 2: is because when you think about it, there's so much
Speaker 2: money that's being made off the back of these real stories,
Speaker 2: like people's real trauma, people who have experienced horrific things,
Speaker 2: and then it's being repurposed and turned in to entertainment.
Speaker 2: So now Anna Kendrick, who's one of the lead stars
Speaker 2: in this movie, but she's also one of the directors
Speaker 2: of the movie as well, she came out recently, just
Speaker 2: on Monday, and she was talking about how she has
Speaker 2: made absolutely no money off the back of it because
Speaker 2: it felt really lucky to her to keep any of
Speaker 2: the profits, and she's donated all of it to the
Speaker 2: National Center for Victims of Crime. And I guess it
Speaker 2: kind of like really raises this question of like should
Speaker 2: people be profiting from other people's very real, lived trauma.
Speaker 5: It's hard because people want to see these films and
Speaker 5: people want these stories to be told.
Speaker 4: And I understand why.
Speaker 5: If you go and look at any podcast lists around
Speaker 5: the world, true crime is always number one. If you
Speaker 5: look at the number one Netflix hits and streaming hits,
Speaker 5: it's always like true crime based. People want to consume it,
Speaker 5: and ethics aren't black and white. But I think we
Speaker 5: need to find the happy medium of not purely profiting
Speaker 5: off somebody else's horrific story. But we also can't be
Speaker 5: doing what Anna has done this time, which is donate
Speaker 5: one hundred percent of the profits, because it takes a
Speaker 5: lot of people to make a film, like you're still
Speaker 5: employing peace people, But we need to find out what
Speaker 5: that happy medium is. I think there needs to be
Speaker 5: some consultation for the people involved and the victims involved
Speaker 5: or the victims families, and then there needs to be
Speaker 5: some remuneration for these people or these organizations.
Speaker 4: But I don't know what that's going.
Speaker 1: To look like.
Speaker 6: She did so I read into this, so she actually
Speaker 6: got consent obviously. In this movie, The Woman of the Hour,
Speaker 6: it's based around one woman in particular who's living in
Speaker 6: la wants to be an actress, and she's a real
Speaker 6: woman who escaped the hands of a serial killer.
Speaker 1: She exists.
Speaker 6: She asked if she could use her story in her name.
Speaker 6: She said yes, but she changed the spelling of her name.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: But the thing is it's so fascinating about this is
Speaker 2: it's not just her story, Like the woman who actually
Speaker 2: brought him to justice was a different person. Like there
Speaker 2: was so many people who were affected, and I guess like,
Speaker 2: that's the big question, right is who owns the story?
Speaker 2: Who owns the story, and who should be profiting from
Speaker 2: that story? And we saw it with I mean, you
Speaker 2: guys might know Jeffrey Dahmer came out a couple of
Speaker 2: years ago. The Menendez Brothers is really big at the moment, monsters,
Speaker 2: and you know, you had these people who some of
Speaker 2: them have done horrific things, but the victims who have
Speaker 2: experienced it, I'm making no money from these stories. And
Speaker 2: I guess like as our appetite is growing for true crime,
Speaker 2: so is the amount of money that can be made.
Speaker 2: And I kind of think it's almost like a bit
Speaker 2: of Chicken before the egg situation where the legislation hasn't
Speaker 2: changed and there has to be some more rules that
Speaker 2: are brought in around who monetizes what stories.
Speaker 1: It's ethics, isn't it. I mean, that's about it.
Speaker 6: If you had something that was horrific that happened in
Speaker 6: your life, the loss of a loved one, right, let's
Speaker 6: just say it's murder, and then you had to relive
Speaker 6: that on a podcast, or you knew that people millions
Speaker 6: of people were watching or viewing it, would it would
Speaker 6: really drive you insane and stop crushing.
Speaker 2: Also knowing that sometimes these movies and these podcasts come
Speaker 2: out without the person being consulted.
Speaker 6: And they sensationalized too. Because they need to get views right,
Speaker 6: they sometimes ham it up. They add a bit of
Speaker 6: extra drama. They get Kim Kardashi in playing a role,
Speaker 6: you know, so that would be sold on the wound.
Speaker 4: Hollywoodized it.
Speaker 5: That's the term I think people using, like it's overly glamorized,
Speaker 5: but it's working, so no one is ever going to
Speaker 5: stop doing this.
Speaker 6: I think what Anna's doing is the right thing because
Speaker 6: then the argument is, well, it's also bringing expo, it's
Speaker 6: helping people realize what happens if they're in this situation.
Speaker 6: I know it's ridiculous, the serial killer, but you know,
Speaker 6: if you don't know, you don't know.
Speaker 2: Well. I think it sets a precedent for directors. I
Speaker 2: don't think it should be up to the actors to
Speaker 2: have to give up their entire salaries, but I do
Speaker 2: think that as a director or as the person who's
Speaker 2: putting together that production, that if you're making money off
Speaker 2: the back of somebody else's trauma, that there should be
Speaker 2: some sort of incentive or some sort of expectation that
Speaker 2: you're also giving back to the facilities and the programs
Speaker 2: that are helping to protect victims.
Speaker 5: But then you can't stop there and just say the
Speaker 5: actor is not up to the actors to do it.
Speaker 5: It's up to the director. The actor is also making
Speaker 5: money off telling that story.
Speaker 2: Well, maybe it's like a tax like if you're going
Speaker 2: to be in a Yeah, if you're going to be
Speaker 2: in a true crime story, then you get taxed on
Speaker 2: it and it goes back to the people.
Speaker 6: I think Lauria're onto something. There should be legislation that is,
Speaker 6: if you are using the true story of someone's life,
Speaker 6: they get a cut of profits, or they get they
Speaker 6: get a certain amount up.
Speaker 5: Front, a relative percentage of profits that's standardized across the
Speaker 5: board for anything true crime that goes back to the family,
Speaker 5: the victims, or an organization.
Speaker 6: I agree that hundred years it goes into the public
Speaker 6: domain like Mickey Mouse, and we can all talk about it.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 2: I think it's fascinating anyway, guys, I gotta.
Speaker 6: Thanks for listening. Will and Woody are up next to
Speaker 6: drive you home. They're on Shark Tank tonight with their
Speaker 6: survey Eat Girls, their invention.
Speaker 4: What's a pretty brilliant idea.
Speaker 2: Yeah, does it just taste like whatever it is that
Speaker 2: you've wiped off your face?
Speaker 6: No, I think it's a neutral flavor, Serveyett that you
Speaker 6: just eat after you die.
Speaker 4: That's great.
Speaker 5: Think of how little waste.
Speaker 1: We've got then, Yeah, but think of the bockage and
Speaker 1: the bowels. Well, not if it's edible, Well they have
Speaker 1: to tell us all about it.
Speaker 3: I can't waste.
Speaker 6: Plus for all your live election updates obviously Carmela v.
Speaker 6: Trump or that's still a couble see tomorrow
