Speaker 1: A good pickup with Britt Hogley.
Speaker 2: And Laura Burn Radio Worth Our windows down, My worlds
Speaker 2: in the dust, only good babs all down. I don't much,
Speaker 2: but yeah I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'll big get and what I want. It don't matter where.
Speaker 2: This is the pick up, Hi, guys, it's the pick
Speaker 2: up with Britt Hackley and Laura Burn Happy Thursday.
Speaker 1: You know what I watched on the weekend, Laura. I
Speaker 1: haven't told you about it yet, but I think you
Speaker 1: would love it. What have you heard of, Joan? It's
Speaker 1: on stan It's Sophie Turner. You know who Sophie Turner is?
Speaker 1: Just say yes please?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can picture her right now. I'm so bad.
Speaker 2: You know. You showed me a photo of her and
Speaker 2: I'll know who she is straight away.
Speaker 1: Joe Jonas's ex wife, tall, beautiful, blonde hair, smoke show.
Speaker 2: I do know who she is.
Speaker 1: So it's this TV series about she is in this
Speaker 1: like crazy, abusive, horrible relationship. She has a daughter, super
Speaker 1: light easy watch. No, well, yes, but that's the sets
Speaker 1: up basis. It's not completely about that. So she has
Speaker 1: a little girl and she needs to create a better
Speaker 1: life for her, so to escape, she ends up becoming
Speaker 1: a jewel thief. Like that's how she survives. She becomes
Speaker 1: this like amazing thief.
Speaker 2: It's a very glamorous crime to get into, wouldn't you think.
Speaker 1: I think you've got to be super hot to pull
Speaker 1: off being a jewel thief. Yeah, to ease yourself into
Speaker 1: the situation.
Speaker 2: So that you can walk into a very expensive shop
Speaker 2: and people are like, oh, you belong here, that's okay,
Speaker 2: you're not going to steal from us.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't condone it.
Speaker 2: Although that implies the people who are not hot might steal.
Speaker 1: That's really mean. I don't condone theft. But there is
Speaker 1: something really empowering about watching it because it's sort of
Speaker 1: like she's just in control and she's a boss. And
Speaker 1: even though she's stealing, you're like, okay, but you're doing
Speaker 1: it for like at the right reason.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, Brittany, you're questioning your morals. She's like
Speaker 2: a Robin Hood type, is she Well no, she doesn't.
Speaker 1: Give back to the ball. She just keeps it. But
Speaker 1: she does it for her and her daughter. She's not
Speaker 1: giving her back. You have to watch it.
Speaker 2: I really enjoyed it. Anyway.
Speaker 1: It's a one series. Joan only on Stand Sophie Turner,
Speaker 1: I absolutely loved it.
Speaker 2: That's your recommendation. Well, I've been watching something else and
Speaker 2: we have big feelings that we're going to talk about
Speaker 2: today on the show Married at First Sight. And there
Speaker 2: is a man on there named Tim that all of
Speaker 2: Australia is hating right now, so much so that he's
Speaker 2: shut down his social media. But we do have a
Speaker 2: big question. Is it okay to not want to go
Speaker 2: on a second date and to decide that someone's not
Speaker 2: for you purely based on the way they.
Speaker 1: Book the big questions?
Speaker 2: Here today on the pick up, you know what it's
Speaker 2: time for now that it's Thursday. It is Ask Uncut,
Speaker 2: where we answer your deep, dark and burning questions. We
Speaker 2: do this on Life on Cut every week. You guys
Speaker 2: call up and look, we're not qualified necessarily, but we
Speaker 2: do our best to answer your questions with enthusiasm.
Speaker 1: I reckon we're probably pretty qualified. For today's question. We
Speaker 1: have Angela on the phone with quite the predicament. Hi, Angela,
Speaker 1: Hiri and Nora Hi through it here.
Speaker 2: This is something to do with your mother in law.
Speaker 3: Yes it is. Look, I know she means well, but
Speaker 3: the first time she made meat loavest for me. I
Speaker 3: said that I really liked it, and she has been
Speaker 3: making it every single time. Things then, and to be honest,
Speaker 3: I am just so over this meat loft of hers, Like, yeah.
Speaker 2: I can't do it anymore. How many years of meat
Speaker 2: loaf are we talking?
Speaker 3: We're talking to ten years of meat love.
Speaker 2: So Angela?
Speaker 1: How many loaves of meat is that?
Speaker 3: Oh, way, way, way too many for anybody to happen.
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm using meats. It's awful.
Speaker 2: Angela walks in and she's sweating meat loaf out of
Speaker 2: a pause. So okay. How frequently is this happening? Is
Speaker 2: like mum in law coming over once a week with
Speaker 2: a meat loaf? Is it once a month?
Speaker 3: A week?
Speaker 1: I have a plan for you what I think you
Speaker 1: can do That is completely fine to do because people
Speaker 1: go through these phases, But you're going to have to
Speaker 1: make some sacrifices. I think you need to say. I've
Speaker 1: just gone off meat. It's so weird, Like I think
Speaker 1: I've spent so much time eating it that I just
Speaker 1: don't like it at the moment. But you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to sacrifice other forms of meat to stick to that lie.
Speaker 3: I should go vegetarian when I'm with them basically pesyitarian.
Speaker 1: There'sh chicken.
Speaker 2: I think there's other options. I think you just start
Speaker 2: complimenting other things. Obviously she really latched onto the meat
Speaker 2: loaf compliment. You need to pump up her tires about
Speaker 2: a bolonnaise. What's another dish that she does. You've gotta
Speaker 2: be like, God, you know, I know you're going to
Speaker 2: a meat loaf, but that chicken catch atory.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but the problem is then that you're only
Speaker 1: ever gonna get a chicken catchtory for the next ten years.
Speaker 3: Oh that's all right. Then I'll suggest something else in
Speaker 3: ten years time.
Speaker 2: You're a saint. I think you can tell her. I
Speaker 2: think you can say maybe, no, maybe we don't need
Speaker 2: a meat loafst this week.
Speaker 1: Now. If I had a buzzer under my finger, I'd say, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't think you can do that. That will hurt
Speaker 1: her feelings. But just suggest something no, I would just say,
Speaker 1: I genuinely am not lying. I would say I've gone
Speaker 1: off meat because think of how many times you eat
Speaker 1: a lot of something you over the years, like your
Speaker 1: taste buds and what you like changes all the time.
Speaker 1: So I just have oh you know what, I've gone
Speaker 1: a bit of meat. How about we do like a
Speaker 1: chicken salad this week or something you cool.
Speaker 3: With that, especially cause it's summer and it's so hot.
Speaker 2: Angela, Can I just say, if this is the worst
Speaker 2: thing you have going on in your life, you are
Speaker 2: very lucky all years. I reckon, this is the easiest
Speaker 2: and like kindest, like ask gun cut we've ever received.
Speaker 2: This is doing Okay?
Speaker 1: Who eats meat loaf in summer? It doesn't scream summer food,
Speaker 1: does it. It's like a winter warm like by the fire.
Speaker 2: I think she just wants some compliments. Thanks so much, Angela. Okay,
Speaker 2: So if you guys want to get on air and
Speaker 2: get some absolutely terrible.
Speaker 1: Advice, excuse me. I stand by my advice.
Speaker 2: All you have to do is go to the kiss
Speaker 2: Wind page and next week we have an amazing prize.
Speaker 2: Jetstar has given us one thousand dollars to spend with
Speaker 2: them if you get on air with us. But it's
Speaker 2: got to be that travel.
Speaker 1: Caveat has to be a travel based question. But we
Speaker 1: don't want the cutesy questions like where should I go
Speaker 1: on holiday? We want the spicy ones, long distance something
Speaker 1: that might have happened.
Speaker 2: How to join the mal High Club. There you go,
Speaker 2: that would be a good one, wouldn't they Can you
Speaker 2: answer them? Get that one in the bank.
Speaker 1: Have you ever done that?
Speaker 2: Tell you Next week.
Speaker 1: We need to talk about maths. I know all of
Speaker 1: Australia's been talking about this the last two days or so,
Speaker 1: but Tim and Katie one of the couples on there.
Speaker 1: Tim has I don't want to put this label on him,
Speaker 1: but he's sort of turned into one of the most
Speaker 1: hated people in Australia for now. I think that will
Speaker 1: be taken away from him in a couple of days.
Speaker 2: Well lucky for Raygun because now it's shifted to someone.
Speaker 1: She does a break dance again. It's hard to explain
Speaker 1: what happened if you haven't seen it, but basically they
Speaker 1: got matched. They pretended that it was all well and good,
Speaker 1: and then Tim has been caught. Was not really caught.
Speaker 1: He's on a show where he's microphoned. They aired a
Speaker 1: conversation that Tim went' had with the producer, telling his
Speaker 1: real feelings about what he thought of his new bride.
Speaker 4: Have A listened to this totally not what I wanted.
Speaker 4: I normally go I'm just short tea blonde or brunette
Speaker 4: like Katie's nothing what normally i'd go for. There's no attraction.
Speaker 4: I'm shot it and was just like a soon as
Speaker 4: I was about it's disappointing. Yeah, I'm a bit embarrassed
Speaker 4: like that, I'm coming in there.
Speaker 1: You can't judge someone right away from that two an
Speaker 1: hour to tipe.
Speaker 4: Like, I don't want to be here.
Speaker 1: I'm just like, you need to find out why you've
Speaker 1: been made. I don't know. Five minutes I completely cut.
Speaker 1: It's a woman off.
Speaker 4: But I just feel like I've wasted my type.
Speaker 1: I just want to run away. Oh okay, George Clooney
Speaker 1: calm down, sit down.
Speaker 2: George Clooney would never be so mean. Don't say such things.
Speaker 1: It's not just that he was caught saying this off camera.
Speaker 1: It was quite a few things that he did throughout
Speaker 1: the wedding. Like, I just think, if you've gotten to
Speaker 1: this situation, you're on TV, you know what the experiment is.
Speaker 1: You know you're not going to know who they are.
Speaker 1: There is a possibility you don't like them. You still
Speaker 1: be a decent human being, you still show level of respect,
Speaker 1: and then maybe after it you say, hey, I don't
Speaker 1: think it's for me. There was a moment on there
Speaker 1: where I died inside for her. I died inside. He
Speaker 1: was ignoring her all night, like he wasn't touching her,
Speaker 1: I wasn't really talking to her, turning his back to her.
Speaker 1: And then they have to get up and cut the
Speaker 1: wedding cake and she pulls the knife out and there's
Speaker 1: some crumbs on it, and then she leans her cheek
Speaker 1: out and taps her cheeks, like, kiss me on the cheek,
Speaker 1: because if there's crumbs on it, you're supposed to kiss
Speaker 1: the nearest man or woman like your partner. And he
Speaker 1: doesn't even give her a peck on the cheek in
Speaker 1: front of all of her family and friends. He goes, oh,
Speaker 1: nah nah like that, and she's left mortified. And in
Speaker 1: that moment, I was like, bro, I kiss on the
Speaker 1: cheek in this situation to save face a little bit.
Speaker 2: Come on, Okay, I haven't seen it. I have not
Speaker 2: seen it, and so I can't have strong opinions. But
Speaker 2: I have read a lot of stuff recently, and I
Speaker 2: know everyone is very angry. Maybe I'm gonna get caned
Speaker 2: for saying this, But when you say that, I almost
Speaker 2: part of me is like, don't lead her on if
Speaker 2: you don't want to kiss her. Wouldn't be in a
Speaker 2: situation where you have to kiss someone, or you have
Speaker 2: to do something that gives them the impression that you're
Speaker 2: maybe attracted to them and want to be with them,
Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera. Firstly, I yes, I think he
Speaker 2: sounds like an absolute jerk. I think he sounds like
Speaker 2: a pig. He's canceled his social media, he's refusing to
Speaker 2: do any interviews at all and has totally shunned the
Speaker 2: show because he's obviously realized how he's come across and
Speaker 2: how he's been depicted. But I do think it is
Speaker 2: a rock and a hard place when you do this show.
Speaker 2: If you do get to the end of the aisle
Speaker 2: and you are just not attracted to the person that
Speaker 2: you're partnered with. In a normal world, if you went
Speaker 2: on a date with someone and you didn't feel any spark,
Speaker 2: no one would be telling you to give it a go.
Speaker 2: It's only because it's the premise of the show that
Speaker 2: you've signed up for giving it a go, regardless whoever
Speaker 2: it is at the end of that aisle.
Speaker 1: I agree with it.
Speaker 2: I know, I know, and I'm like, I do kind
Speaker 2: of I fall on this sort of like opinion that, well,
Speaker 2: if you've signed up for the show, you've made the
Speaker 2: commitment to give it a go. The smallest part of
Speaker 2: me does think, God, that would be really hard if
Speaker 2: you actually weren't attracted. But you can still not be
Speaker 2: an asshole.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I agree with that you
Speaker 1: do not have to be forced into anything if you
Speaker 1: don't feel a connection. But it's the way you treat
Speaker 1: someone in that situation, Like you don't go on a date.
Speaker 1: If you go on a first date and you know
Speaker 1: you're not vibing it, you don't get up and walk
Speaker 1: out of the middle of the dinner. You don't say hey,
Speaker 1: you know what, sorry, not my vibe. They don't reach
Speaker 1: out to say thank you and give you a hard goodbye,
Speaker 1: and you don't recoil like you still act like a
Speaker 1: respectable human being. If you know, I'm sorry, Tim, if
Speaker 1: you're listening, if you know.
Speaker 2: He's not doing interviews, you wouldn't come on the show anyway.
Speaker 2: So whatever, Tim, But this is where my problem is.
Speaker 2: I respect that there's no connection for you. I got
Speaker 2: dumped on the batch because someone said they didn't want
Speaker 2: me to get it. But you can still do it
Speaker 2: in a respectable way. You know you're on national television.
Speaker 2: You know that moment is going to humiliate the woman.
Speaker 1: That you are with. Just get through the day and
Speaker 1: be a nice person. You both tried something, it didn't work.
Speaker 2: Cool. Also him saying that he's embarrassed, It's like, what
Speaker 2: are you embarrassed about it? You're embarrassed because you were
Speaker 2: a partner with someone that you're not attracted to, that's
Speaker 2: not the type that you would normally go for. Says
Speaker 2: a lot more about you than it does about the
Speaker 2: situation or what you're experiencing.
Speaker 1: And what I would like to say is looks are
Speaker 1: the smallest part of dating. I'm sorry. I have dated
Speaker 1: people that I wasn't attracted to physically at the start,
Speaker 1: got to know them and literally fell in love with people.
Speaker 1: I was like, Wow, you're so funny, your morals are
Speaker 1: so great, we get along so well. I've seen how
Speaker 1: you treat your family. You know, there was one person
Speaker 1: I actually lived with. He was my flatmate for a while,
Speaker 1: many many moons ago. And don't shoot where you eat, Brett, Well, no,
Speaker 1: I had. I had no attraction to him physically at all,
Speaker 1: which is why it was a perfect situation. I was like, cool,
Speaker 1: there is nothing here, and we ended up dating after
Speaker 1: about four months because I was like, you're actually such
Speaker 1: a great human.
Speaker 2: Was it COVID? And there was just like it was
Speaker 2: within your five kilometer he was AI. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think I take it all with a great assault
Speaker 2: that show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally, but we needed something to fire up about Todaysume.
Speaker 2: You're canceled anyway.
Speaker 1: Well, if you were listening to us yesterday, I shared
Speaker 1: some pretty huge news about my fiance and I probably
Speaker 1: not what you're thinking, but Ben, my fiance just got
Speaker 1: a brand new transfer. He plays football. He lives in
Speaker 1: Romania usually so we're very long distance, very long distance,
Speaker 1: but he just got the dream football transfer to Italy.
Speaker 1: I haven't even really spoken to Ben because of the
Speaker 1: time difference. It all happened yesterday and I've literally not
Speaker 1: really got the lowdown on his first day. So I
Speaker 1: got him on radio. Here he is live on the
Speaker 1: pick up.
Speaker 5: Ben Welcome, Hello guys, good morning.
Speaker 2: Hi Ben. Okay, so this all happened very quickly one day.
Speaker 2: You're living in Romania, and twenty four hours later, you've
Speaker 2: been contracted to play in Italy. Why did you want
Speaker 2: to leave? And what is it about playing over there
Speaker 2: that gets you so excited?
Speaker 5: So I literally had six hours to pack, so I
Speaker 5: was told that midnight, and then I was told by
Speaker 5: the people in charge that the plane leaves at eight am.
Speaker 1: It's crazy, crazy.
Speaker 5: A few hours to pack, and it's a great move
Speaker 5: for me personally because of the size of the club
Speaker 5: and personally me as an athlete, I always strive to
Speaker 5: play at the highest level.
Speaker 1: And my wife really wants me to go.
Speaker 5: Yes, and my wife wants to Carbonara.
Speaker 2: What happens to all the stuff that you had in Romania?
Speaker 2: Like packing up your life in eight hours sounds just
Speaker 2: simply insane.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so half of it is on the bedroom floor.
Speaker 5: I think half of it is packed up in bags
Speaker 5: and put somewhere in the corner. So I just about
Speaker 5: managed to empty the fridge, so there are no surprises
Speaker 5: if I do a day off and gone back, there's
Speaker 5: nothing living in my fridge.
Speaker 2: You did share yesterday. We spoke about this on Life
Speaker 2: on Cut podcast, and you got really emotional about something,
Speaker 2: the fact that sometimes these really big life milestones happen,
Speaker 2: and when you're doing long distance, you don't get to
Speaker 2: be there with your partner or be there to support
Speaker 2: your partner. This is what you had to say.
Speaker 1: I could cry out thinking about it. He sent me
Speaker 1: like photos of humans manager taking the like usually family,
Speaker 1: I'm really sad. Usually, like partners and family are there
Speaker 1: and it's a really big, nice moment that you sign
Speaker 1: and you're there together and they always get photos and
Speaker 1: I'll just never get to do that with Ben. And
Speaker 1: so he just sent me photos of him alone and
Speaker 1: just with his agent and like I should have been there,
Speaker 1: And it was really upsetting because I was like I
Speaker 1: should be there with you.
Speaker 2: How do you especially for you Ben, Like how do
Speaker 2: you guys navigate these periods doing long distance and not
Speaker 2: being able to be there for each other.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's really hard because if there is news,
Speaker 5: you want to share it with your partner immediately, and
Speaker 5: obviously with the time difference as well, sometimes there's like
Speaker 5: eight nine hours in between of sharing happy news and
Speaker 5: sad news. So obviously luckily it was happy news. So's
Speaker 5: it's a strange run because obviously we support each other
Speaker 5: so much in our careers respectively, and you know you
Speaker 5: want to share it with your partner. So I really
Speaker 5: wanted for it to be here and share this moment
Speaker 5: with me because she's a huge part of my success
Speaker 5: that I have, and I'd like to think I inspire
Speaker 5: and support for it as much as I can. You know,
Speaker 5: when you guys want accolades and as proud as anyone,
Speaker 5: because I know you guys. I know you guys how
Speaker 5: much you work for it. I know how much you
Speaker 5: work for this and what you put into it, and equally,
Speaker 5: you know how much you know. We could make a
Speaker 5: decision tomorrow and just live together and leave it all behind,
Speaker 5: but we want to have success and we sacrifice a lot,
Speaker 5: and you know, you can only hope that one day
Speaker 5: we will be together and share those moments together. But
Speaker 5: it is a little bit sad and you don't have
Speaker 5: your person with you.
Speaker 1: Poor Ben. I did. I did wake up because it
Speaker 1: happened so quickly, and Ben just mentioned the time difference.
Speaker 1: I did wake up and found out that he had
Speaker 1: told someone else before me, So you're man.
Speaker 2: Got that?
Speaker 1: Not that? And I was like, baby, I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm your fiance, like I should know the big news.
Speaker 2: He was like, I couldn't wait eight hours.
Speaker 5: I had to tell. I went to the next I
Speaker 5: went to the next option, which was Jane Sherry. So
Speaker 5: your sister Siah, So he told.
Speaker 2: It's the same as your sister and your brother in
Speaker 2: law before you found out.
Speaker 1: Yea, he took them to his hometown before he took me. Like,
Speaker 1: they're more involved than I have.
Speaker 2: Even when you fell pregnant. You can just tell your
Speaker 2: sister and your brother in law before you tell Ben,
Speaker 2: and then you guys are.
Speaker 1: Even probably know I'm pregnant before I know I'm pregnant.
Speaker 2: Oh Ben, We're so happy for you. Congratulations, and yeah,
Speaker 2: we're really looking forward to our tax deductible trip to
Speaker 2: Italy this year. It's gonna be great.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's gonna be good. Well, I'm gonna have Carbonara
Speaker 5: be by the beach and joy espressos.
Speaker 1: I'm really proud of you, Ben, And it's really hard
Speaker 1: to see it happening from here, but I'd rather see
Speaker 1: it happening from here than not see it at all.
Speaker 5: Thank you, baby, I love you.
Speaker 1: I love you, Oh you, I love all Right.
Speaker 2: Well, it's a very early for you, so you better
Speaker 2: get back to sleep.
Speaker 5: I'm just about to catch up on Maddy's adventures in
Speaker 5: the jungles.
Speaker 2: Oh, well, if you're catching up on the challenge they
Speaker 2: did from the other night of I'm Celebrity, it will
Speaker 2: make you spew. It was absolutely vile, so good luck
Speaker 2: with that one. Don't do it on a full stomach,
Speaker 2: is all I have to say about that.
