Speaker 1: Come on Tuesday. Hi girls, Hello Misturi.
Speaker 2: I just did the most embarrassing thing. Guys.
Speaker 3: Now, I don't get embarrassed very easily. You guys know that.
Speaker 3: But I was on the street coming to work, and
Speaker 3: there was somebody that I know from Channel ten, like
Speaker 3: someone that I've worked with over the years, from.
Speaker 4: The network, as in, like someone from I'm a celeb,
Speaker 4: like a recent.
Speaker 3: No, someone that actually works at the station. Just someone
Speaker 3: I've worked with, and it's not unusual for them to
Speaker 3: be at the radio station because they went with talent.
Speaker 3: And I saw him and I like, okay, and I
Speaker 3: waved straight at him, and he looked at me, and
Speaker 3: he didn't way back, and I was like, man, he
Speaker 3: didn't see me.
Speaker 2: He turned around and kept walking.
Speaker 3: So I'd right up to him, grabbed him on the
Speaker 3: shoulder and went and pulled him around.
Speaker 2: It wasn't him, it was just a stranger walking. You
Speaker 2: actually touched him.
Speaker 3: I pulled his shoulder back to turn him and went
Speaker 3: in his face and went there.
Speaker 2: Probably thought he's getting mugged.
Speaker 4: There are very few people in the world that I
Speaker 4: would persist to say, like I would run down the
Speaker 4: street to persist to say hello to if they if
Speaker 4: they blaked me on a first wave, I'm not running after.
Speaker 1: Them to have it on street.
Speaker 4: I'd be like, Okay, that's enough, that's enough humiliation for
Speaker 4: one day.
Speaker 3: It's because we'll walk it into the same building. But
Speaker 3: the radio building isn't just radio, there's other levels here.
Speaker 2: So I assumed I was going to walk up the
Speaker 2: elevator with him. But it was just another man. It
Speaker 2: was just a strange man that I assaulted on the street.
Speaker 4: Well, it's gonna make you feel any better. Something happened
Speaker 4: to me the other week, which was enormously embarrassing. It
Speaker 4: was so so embarrassing. That's going to make you feel
Speaker 4: so much better.
Speaker 1: Okay, great, Well I've actually made no errors in my life.
Speaker 4: So yeah, you've fallen out of the sun.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Let's start or thanks the Chemist Warehouse.
Speaker 1: It is the pick up right around Australia for your
Speaker 1: Tuesday afternoon high.
Speaker 4: This is going to start turning into a running joke
Speaker 4: because I feel like at least once a week I
Speaker 4: come to the show and I'm like, hey, I really
Speaker 4: put my foot in it. So last week we had
Speaker 4: a photo shoot for Tony Mate. Now we had organized
Speaker 4: a model, but we also do castings so just in
Speaker 4: case the model that we choose isn't quite right for
Speaker 4: whatever reason, especially with jewelry, because they need to have
Speaker 4: a certain amount of piercings in their ears, they need
Speaker 4: to have their nails a certain way. There's quite a
Speaker 4: few variables. When you're shooting jewely, you need to be
Speaker 4: not only a model, but a hand model in everything.
Speaker 4: So we had this casting and the models came and
Speaker 4: the one that we had chosen for the shoot, like
Speaker 4: my number one girl that I was really hoping we're
Speaker 4: going to shoot with, she ended up having very very
Speaker 4: short fingers.
Speaker 2: Like really like just very short fingers.
Speaker 3: Not appropriate for jewelry, as in my finger discriminate I did.
Speaker 4: I looked at her hands and I was like, oh,
Speaker 4: your fingers are too stumpy. They're not the right fingers
Speaker 4: for this campaign. And also the it's your internal monolog, right,
Speaker 4: you didn't say that to it?
Speaker 2: I could never, Okay, Stump.
Speaker 1: It was a scheduling conflict.
Speaker 4: So she was so beautiful, but unfortunately she just didn't
Speaker 4: have enough with here to get it to put the
Speaker 4: rings on. Okay anyway, So she left. We hired another
Speaker 4: model and it was very touching gogs. We only had
Speaker 4: a few hours was the afternoon and the next day
Speaker 4: was the shoot, so we had a few hours to
Speaker 4: organize a model for the shoot. Now, I had a
Speaker 4: friend of mine who you guys both know, who was
Speaker 4: helping me on the day with the shoots. So she
Speaker 4: was coming to do all the social media stuff and
Speaker 4: getting like the.
Speaker 2: Bts and she's, oh, she could be the model herself.
Speaker 4: She's beautiful, she's she should have been the model, she's
Speaker 4: so stunning. But I'd sent her a photo of girl
Speaker 4: that we were going to use. So when she showed
Speaker 4: up to the Tony May shoot, she was a little
Speaker 4: bit surprised that it wasn't the same model. Right, didn't
Speaker 4: talk about it on the day, But it wasn't until
Speaker 4: we were driving home that afternoon that she says to me,
Speaker 4: that wasn't that wasn't the model that you sent me,
Speaker 4: Like why did we change models for the day? And
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, you wouldn't believe it. But she
Speaker 4: had literally like half fingers. Her fingers were so short
Speaker 4: that we couldn't use it for the ring shots like stumps.
Speaker 4: I was like, they're so tiny, you would not believe
Speaker 4: how little her fingers are, And as I said it,
Speaker 4: she turns around and she says, if you, Laura, what
Speaker 4: have you got again?
Speaker 2: Girls with half fingers?
Speaker 4: So she puts her hand up in the air, and
Speaker 4: she's only got half a finger on her middle finger.
Speaker 4: She was born with no finger, and she had her
Speaker 4: middle toe amputated as a baby and attached to her hand.
Speaker 2: So you didn't put a foot in it. You put
Speaker 2: a toe in it. I put a toe in it.
Speaker 4: What is the chances? What is the chances it's just
Speaker 4: someone who has no finger.
Speaker 1: I actually am on your side here because the odds
Speaker 1: of you meeting someone with a toe finger and having
Speaker 1: that conversation.
Speaker 2: Because I've known her for over a year, so have I.
Speaker 3: And to be honest, I mean I was out with
Speaker 3: her recently at nighttime, hanging out, having fun. We were drinking,
Speaker 3: so I should have been able to see her toe finger.
Speaker 3: I didn't even know she had a toe f I high.
Speaker 1: Five fil last week and didn't even notice.
Speaker 2: Well, so you're not alone. None of us knew she
Speaker 2: had a toe.
Speaker 4: Look, even people with short fingers should be allowed to
Speaker 4: be hand models.
Speaker 1: If you're a hand model out there and.
Speaker 4: If you pick discriminated against because you have stubby fingers.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry for you. Yet, hey listen. Next on the show,
Speaker 1: we're talking hotel stays. They can be extremely stressful. You
Speaker 1: think a hotel stay is going to be calming, relaxed
Speaker 1: and fun, right, it's going to calm you down. You're
Speaker 1: going to go and have a little escape. I actually
Speaker 1: think I've been scammed on my most recent hotel trip.
Speaker 1: I had one on the weekend.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and you were talking about how nice it
Speaker 2: was recently.
Speaker 1: But I was talking about how nice. I was hoping
Speaker 1: it was going to be last Friday. But I've been
Speaker 1: and I've returned, and I've got thoughts I've been scammed
Speaker 1: that next on the Pickup, I was talking about this
Speaker 1: on the show. Last week. My boyfriend had his birthday
Speaker 1: and we booked him a night at a hotel this weekend.
Speaker 1: So I had it this weekend last Friday.
Speaker 2: You were so excited to get out of here.
Speaker 1: We got so excited. However, I think I've been scammed
Speaker 1: by the hotel. What yeah, tell me if you think
Speaker 1: I'm in the wrong or they're doing the right thing
Speaker 1: that hotels do. So it's a very fancy new age
Speaker 1: hotel and I got a message on WhatsApp like the
Speaker 1: day of check in, like, Hi, Mitch, this is the
Speaker 1: this is the hotel. We don't have a front of house.
Speaker 1: This is how we'll communicate. If you need anything, let
Speaker 1: me know WhatsApp. So age yeah, and they said are
Speaker 1: you celebrating a special occasion with us? And I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: they've asked, so I said, yeah, it's my boyfriend Steven's birthday.
Speaker 1: You know, that's what's happening. Like, oh, do you need anything?
Speaker 1: Upon arrival? I'm like this is so nice. I said, yeah,
Speaker 1: whatever you can do to make it super special would
Speaker 1: be nice. And I thought maybe they'll get a handtown
Speaker 1: and shape it like a swan.
Speaker 2: Like some chocolates on a bed, or like rose petals.
Speaker 1: Even rose petals is too much. I'm like, no, just
Speaker 1: like a bottle of champagne, a cheap one, you know.
Speaker 1: I was like, whatever, whatever you did, make it special
Speaker 1: were my words. And they said, leave it with us.
Speaker 1: We got your Mitch, and they put a wink emoji
Speaker 1: like they're cools new wage hotel wink wink tongue out
Speaker 1: eggplant might love this. So I'm like great, So I
Speaker 1: pick up Stephen. We drive there, we park in the hotel.
Speaker 1: All is good. I get to the room. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: did something special. There was a bottle of champagne. There
Speaker 1: was a handwritten note that said, welcome Mitch and Stephen,
Speaker 1: Happy birthday, enjoy your stay. Here are some macarons from
Speaker 1: the local French bakery.
Speaker 4: So cuge.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's really sweet.
Speaker 1: Nice right, So we drink the champagne, We have the macarons,
Speaker 1: We have a great night, go to dinner, check out.
Speaker 1: The next day, we're wheeling our bags to reception and
Speaker 1: we go. Hear our key cards.
Speaker 2: We had nothing from the mini bar.
Speaker 1: Nothing from the mini bar. They said, great, just your
Speaker 1: parking stay. We'll charge you for park I'm like, oh god,
Speaker 1: parking stung me. It always gets me parking. And they
Speaker 1: went and then also just to close off the bill
Speaker 1: for the champagne and macrons, and I thought.
Speaker 2: Oh no, they charged you.
Speaker 1: Hold on a second, Oh, WhatsApp with your AI bought
Speaker 1: person or whoever that was. I don't know if it
Speaker 1: was a real person or not, but they were sending
Speaker 1: gray flood text just winks, and I want to talk
Speaker 1: about that. But secondly that I didn't ask.
Speaker 2: For that that's a bit rich. It's a bit rich.
Speaker 4: It's rich of you to assume that you're going to
Speaker 4: get things for free. Firstly, but I think that that's
Speaker 4: a big that's like an overestimation of them to think
Speaker 4: that you were going to pay for a bottle of
Speaker 4: wine and macrons that you didn't even know the price.
Speaker 2: Yes, were they well priced or expense, But did you
Speaker 2: actually ask them miss?
Speaker 3: Did you actually say, oh, your hotel messaged me and
Speaker 3: asked me.
Speaker 2: Did you confront them about the charge?
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. I'll pay the charge. That's fine.
Speaker 4: You know, it was an accident though they might not
Speaker 4: have meant to have charged you, And then it didn't
Speaker 4: filter down from top of house to front of house
Speaker 4: and then back of the house.
Speaker 2: And everyone's confused.
Speaker 1: First of all, too many houses and too many sides
Speaker 1: right back, left, right. I also how am masculating for Stephen,
Speaker 1: Like because I bought the hotel room, I thought it
Speaker 1: was going to be free. So hey, hold on these
Speaker 1: tricks that you gave my boyfriend, I will not pay them.
Speaker 1: I can't do that.
Speaker 3: It's the way they ask Listen to what happened to me,
Speaker 3: Ben and I, my fiancee and I were on a
Speaker 3: boat not that long ago, and it was like a
Speaker 3: beautiful boat that Ben and going out of his way
Speaker 3: to make a special day for me.
Speaker 2: Anyway, it was like a sunset cruise and all this stuff.
Speaker 3: And then at the end they said to us, oh,
Speaker 3: it's such a nice nighte you guys just want to
Speaker 3: stay for an extra half an hour And we're.
Speaker 1: Like, you know what, Yeah, I saw these photos, you
Speaker 1: posted these photos.
Speaker 2: We will stay for another half an hour. Why not,
Speaker 2: thank you so much. And then when they dropped us.
Speaker 3: Off, they brought a card machine and we had to
Speaker 3: pay a lot for that extra half an hour.
Speaker 2: The way that they.
Speaker 3: Said it made it sound like we can just cut
Speaker 3: another lab for and I was give you a bit
Speaker 3: of extra.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the way they say it.
Speaker 1: You know who does it well? Airlines. They're like, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, we've got some extra business class seats. Would
Speaker 1: you like to upgrade? Here's the cost. Because if they
Speaker 1: said to you would you like to upgrade, you go,
Speaker 1: oh gorgeous, thank you.
Speaker 2: It's three thousand dollars. Yes, that's what I did. When
Speaker 2: I accidentally upgraded to first class. I thought it was
Speaker 2: free and it wasn't.
Speaker 4: No one accidentally upgrades to first.
Speaker 2: I thought it was a free upgrade. Take all my
Speaker 2: plas and my first child.
Speaker 1: Okay, give us a call here at the pickup. What
Speaker 1: did you get conned into buying? To take your course next?
Speaker 1: Just tuning in, I got conned buy a hotel over
Speaker 1: the weekend. I took my boyfriend to a hotel for
Speaker 1: his birthday and they sent me a message the day
Speaker 1: of arrival saying do you want anything special for the room?
Speaker 1: And I said, whatever you can do to make it
Speaker 1: a special night, please, And then I was charged for
Speaker 1: champagne and macaron I.
Speaker 4: Think that anything that's left out, like purposely left out
Speaker 4: with a note, most people assume was free.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, Oscar's called, hey, what were you cond
Speaker 1: into buying? Oscar?
Speaker 5: Well, I went shopping recently, and you know how some
Speaker 5: stores they like to say, oh, would you like to
Speaker 5: buy a bag for a dollar? Carry bag sort of things.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so some.
Speaker 5: Placers like to do the carry bag as a tote bag.
Speaker 5: So I've gone to the shot they've gone yet blah blah,
Speaker 5: whatever do you want to buy a tote bag? And
Speaker 5: I thought, yeah, okay, ten dollar hope bag just to
Speaker 5: carrying my stuff in. They told me it was for charity,
Speaker 5: so I was like, all right, at least my ten dollars,
Speaker 5: isn't you know it's going to something good, only to
Speaker 5: find out after the fact, maybe a day or two later,
Speaker 5: it didn't go to charity.
Speaker 2: Wait, wait, what do you mean they told you it
Speaker 2: was going to charity and it didn't go.
Speaker 1: How did you know where? Then? Can didn't you follow up?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 5: No, I didn't follow up. I just had a secondary
Speaker 5: look at the receipt, and on the receipt it has
Speaker 5: to say donation to charity. Didn't and this time it didn't.
Speaker 3: Do you reckon it's even a shop charging you or
Speaker 3: do you reckon the shop assistant's got a side hustle
Speaker 3: just taking you ten bucks to putting it away?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I mean if she's got a side hustle, that's an
Speaker 5: excellent side hustle, because I would have been none the
Speaker 5: wiser if I hadn't read the receipt.
Speaker 4: I just there's nothing more annoying now when you walk
Speaker 4: into a shop, because most shops do it. Most shops
Speaker 4: you walk into, whether it's your your local service station,
Speaker 4: or you're gone into like you know, get a cheap
Speaker 4: T shirt. They'd be like, do you want some mince?
Speaker 4: Do you want a bag? Do you want some hair ties?
Speaker 4: Do you want to do you want a comb?
Speaker 1: I've got a cotton on for a pair of Similarly,
Speaker 1: hey do you want a frisbee to support you to sef?
Speaker 1: Hey do you need a violin to support you?
Speaker 4: Yeah? They go through like seventeen different things and I'm like, no,
Speaker 4: I don't need hairbands.
Speaker 2: I just want to buy that one shirt.
Speaker 3: I say yes, I buy everything. If someone goes can
Speaker 3: you support a charity? I feel so guilty, even though
Speaker 3: I've just done twenty five of them in a row
Speaker 3: and I'm like a good person.
Speaker 2: I also have that cube of ice.
Speaker 1: You know what it is? Currently it is. It is
Speaker 1: when you go to a restaurant, you sit down, it's
Speaker 1: a fancy restaurant, and they go, still are sparkling. That's entrapment.
Speaker 1: That's entrapment because you're going to get charged for the steel,
Speaker 1: because it's going to be purified steel. You're going to
Speaker 1: be charged for the sparkling. They should say steal tap
Speaker 1: or sparkling because you can just say tap. That's a
Speaker 1: hack for us out. You can still just ask for
Speaker 1: tap water mean, yeah, but they say, still are sparkling,
Speaker 1: and you go, oh, sparkling costs. I'll get the steel
Speaker 1: to save money, but then you're charged for fancy steel water.
Speaker 3: Come to Mitch for the cost of Libby Mitch. MITCHI
Speaker 3: buys the most design and things that look like rubbish,
Speaker 3: but says it doesn't want to pay for water, doesn't
Speaker 3: want to pay for his designer things that look like rubbish.
Speaker 2: That's so mean. But you said it, Laurie said, he's bad,
Speaker 2: looks like a rubbish bag.
Speaker 4: It's beautiful rubbish shake, I know, but you do have
Speaker 4: a garbage bag that's very like Kanye esque.
Speaker 1: Listen, don't pay for the water, that's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Oh don't you laugh, Oscar. All right, I was going
Speaker 1: very funny.
Speaker 2: Thanks Oscar. I've had my own little conundrum this week.
Speaker 3: Me. It's just not as bad as being scammed, but
Speaker 3: for me, it really stopped me in my tracks and
Speaker 3: I've had to reconsider some of my life choices.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, that's next on the pick up.
Speaker 3: Those of you that know me know that I don't
Speaker 3: have kids, Okay, I have a dog, Delilah, that is
Speaker 3: the love of my life. She's the person that takes
Speaker 3: up all my attention and I give her the best
Speaker 3: life possible. I go to work so that she can
Speaker 3: have the yard that she has and she can have
Speaker 3: her organic kibble.
Speaker 4: Just to give context to this, when Britt says that
Speaker 4: she really means it, I have caught Britt Air frying
Speaker 4: salmon for Delilah before.
Speaker 3: The reason I'm saying this is that I've been having
Speaker 3: a lot of t with Delilah.
Speaker 2: Now she's an Australian shepherd.
Speaker 3: She is aesthetically ridiculously good looking, and I think her
Speaker 3: personality has started to try and match that.
Speaker 2: She's always been really difficult to train.
Speaker 3: I've sent her to like military dog school, She's been
Speaker 3: intensive training camps, She's done everything, and she still just
Speaker 3: is really difficult. She chooses when she wants to listen
Speaker 3: to you. There's nothing I can do. And something that
Speaker 3: is probably her most toxic trait is her obsessiveness with
Speaker 3: me and her jealousy. So like she's very protective of
Speaker 3: me or whatever she thinks is hers. The problem is
Speaker 3: she thinks every human that comes in contact with her
Speaker 3: is hers.
Speaker 1: To the like.
Speaker 4: This is to the m degree though, because like Brit
Speaker 4: will come to my house with Delilah. I also have
Speaker 4: a dog, and if I pat Delilah for a couple
Speaker 4: of minutes, she'll then turn around to my dog in
Speaker 4: my house and start growling at him because she's decided
Speaker 4: that I'm now hers.
Speaker 3: Anyway, she goes to two dog walkers a week when
Speaker 3: I have really big workdays, and both this week they
Speaker 3: have both expelled her.
Speaker 2: From dog school.
Speaker 1: So she's been fired.
Speaker 3: Yep, independently, she's been sacked from dog school because and
Speaker 3: I imagine this is what like parents feel like when
Speaker 3: the kid you know preschool school calls up and says,
Speaker 3: your kid's been called bullying.
Speaker 2: That's what I felt like.
Speaker 3: They were like, Look, she's she's too nasty to the
Speaker 3: other dogs. When anyone else gives them attention, she steals
Speaker 3: their bulls. She's really hard work. When we pick another
Speaker 3: dog up to put it back in the car, she
Speaker 3: gets really possessive and thinks that like wear her owner.
Speaker 3: So she's even claimed the dog walkers as hers. And
Speaker 3: then four dog walkers have like ten dogs, right, They're like,
Speaker 3: so basically one dog walker has put me on a
Speaker 3: one month probation.
Speaker 2: And I want to preface this with I love my
Speaker 2: dog walkers. They're both incredible.
Speaker 3: They're like, we'll give it to the end of the month,
Speaker 3: but she has something has to change. And the other
Speaker 3: one was just like, it's not working, and I was.
Speaker 2: Like, but she's like, I love her.
Speaker 3: She's like, but I just think she's better off with
Speaker 3: someone that's like, you know, it's all fine and warranted
Speaker 3: and whatever.
Speaker 2: And I totally understand it. But I'm at a loss, like,
Speaker 2: I do not know what to do.
Speaker 1: We need he sees him alone. I remember that old
Speaker 1: dog wi from back in the day. We could get him.
Speaker 1: Dr Chris Brown's come too handsome these days.
Speaker 3: I think we need a trainer, a proper dog trainer.
Speaker 3: Maybe there's a dog trainer listening right now.
Speaker 1: A dog trainer to the stars. We should get one away,
Speaker 1: not just anyone.
Speaker 2: I don't think you even need a star one, okay.
Speaker 3: I just like anyone that thinks that they can help
Speaker 3: me with Delilah, who is perfect in every way except
Speaker 3: for the obsessiveness of humans and balls.
Speaker 2: What happened to the last one that you you texted recently?
Speaker 3: Oh, I did reach out to one because my dog
Speaker 3: walkers said, like one one probation fix it.
Speaker 2: So I wrote to a dog.
Speaker 3: Walker online and I said, Hey, I'm looking for a
Speaker 3: dog trainer. He wrote back and he was like, great,
Speaker 3: tell me some of the problems and we'll see what.
Speaker 2: We can do.
Speaker 3: And I wrote back to him and listened the problems
Speaker 3: blanked me, ghost me.
Speaker 4: It is a beautiful menace. She is so beautiful. But
Speaker 4: I think that she's like got such a beautiful exterior
Speaker 4: that she hasn't had to work on a personality.
Speaker 2: Munch and her dad left when she was young. I
Speaker 2: don't know about Yeah, herd left.
Speaker 1: If you're a dog trainer and know someone and you
Speaker 1: think you can tackle slide into the d MS of
Speaker 1: the pickup.
Speaker 2: Just turn into a personal call out now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're using the radio show for.
Speaker 3: Honestly, help me will give you so much promotion. We'll
Speaker 3: film it. If you think you can fix my dog,
Speaker 3: it'll be the best promo that you could have.
Speaker 1: In the stress, she's at her wits end? Guys, can
Speaker 1: you help Delilah hit this up? On that note, let's
Speaker 1: end the show
