Speaker 1: live on the Free iHeart Appo Pickup with Brittle and
Speaker 1: Laura Ben Lady. Your what our windows done? That's my world?
Speaker 1: Risen the dust only good fable. I've done much, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I know our big get and what I want. It
Speaker 1: don't matter where. This is the pick up. Happy Monday everyone,
Speaker 1: you're listening to the Pickup with Bret Hockey and Laura Burn.
Speaker 1: It is a happy Monday for some of us, particularly.
Speaker 2: I'm talking about a professional dancer in the room myself.
Speaker 1: Anyone who missed it last night was dancing with the
Speaker 1: stars and our very own sorry, come on, credit where
Speaker 1: credits you? I do agree, I'm so sorry I left
Speaker 1: that out. You were amazing and who won the semi finals?
Speaker 2: Me?
Speaker 1: Who won the Sorry? Was there atrocal question? I did? Yay?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: I did you get the top score last night? Which
Speaker 1: is pretty cool? You also got a ten. I mean
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know what that feels like because I didn't
Speaker 1: come close to a ten. I think I got a
Speaker 1: seven and that was my highest score. Did I do seven?
Speaker 1: You did some good dances, though, I reckon they must
Speaker 1: have been tough.
Speaker 2: On you.
Speaker 1: No, I don't think so. Anyway, I got to come
Speaker 1: on and give you some hot tips.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, so if you missed it, I was in
Speaker 2: the studio one day and Laura decided to surprise me
Speaker 2: to give me some Dancing with the Stars tips.
Speaker 1: Have a listen.
Speaker 2: I think the most helpful thing about Laura coming in
Speaker 2: was that it just relaxed me.
Speaker 1: Was good morale, boos song.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: It wasn't helpful at all.
Speaker 2: But the technique because she didn't have any up here,
Speaker 2: is just as important as damn it.
Speaker 1: He looks so good, you actually look so dat. I'm
Speaker 1: just here to support your mental well being. I'm not
Speaker 1: here for any hot tips when it comes to dancing,
Speaker 1: because I think we've all established if anyone watched me
Speaker 1: on Dancing with the Stars, I'm not particularly good at it,
Speaker 1: so who am I to give advice?
Speaker 2: But that way anyway, I am through to the Grand Final,
Speaker 2: which will be next Monday.
Speaker 1: If you do want to support me, watch how much
Speaker 1: how much chance do you think you have of winning it?
Speaker 1: I would have said.
Speaker 2: None if you asked me a week or two ago,
Speaker 2: but then like to win the semi final night and
Speaker 2: get a ten.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, maybe I'm not as bad as
Speaker 1: I thought, Like, maybe I don't know. I think it's
Speaker 1: because my.
Speaker 2: kIPS dislocate and so my leg goes really high, and
Speaker 2: I think that that's all.
Speaker 1: I've got to get me through.
Speaker 3: You are.
Speaker 1: You are definitely a lot bendier and a lot more
Speaker 1: flexible than I ever knew. I feel like I'm learning
Speaker 1: things about you from watching you on Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 1: You're welcome. Well anyway, we know if radio goes tits up,
Speaker 1: you've got another career in you. I want to know, guys,
Speaker 1: have you ever accidentally called someone by the wrong name?
Speaker 1: Maybe it wasn't just the wrong name. Maybe it was
Speaker 1: a term of affection, just an awkward situation where you've
Speaker 1: accidentally coined someone by a name you really shouldn't have.
Speaker 2: I definitely once called the guy that I was seeing
Speaker 2: we're in bed on my birthday and I called him
Speaker 2: by my ex's name, or went down like a lead balloon.
Speaker 1: As in you were in bed bed or just like
Speaker 1: laying in bed, just as I said I was. I
Speaker 1: don't think we need a visual but because it's different, right,
Speaker 1: was it in the throes of passion or was it
Speaker 1: just accidental, just.
Speaker 2: Like we just woke up, It was just morning time.
Speaker 2: Nothing was sexy, was happy.
Speaker 1: I want to say, I think you know how people
Speaker 1: talk about baby brain, like I think baby brain has
Speaker 1: taken over for me. I said the other week, how
Speaker 1: I accidentally introduced my husband to a random guy? Is
Speaker 1: your husband's name? Hi? This is my husband Ben?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Ben? Did I have questions about that? But anyway, not
Speaker 1: my husband's name at all. Well, I also I've done
Speaker 1: it again, and this one, I would say is arguably worse.
Speaker 1: So my dad, who I love dearly. He lives on
Speaker 1: a remote little island. He is an ex like army vet.
Speaker 1: He just he's not a super big people person, right,
Speaker 1: And like we text message a lot, we speak on
Speaker 1: the phone infrequently, but I keep him updated with photos
Speaker 1: of the girls. And We've been recently rentoing a house
Speaker 1: down south, and I've been sending him reno content because
Speaker 1: he really enjoys it. But we also are not super
Speaker 1: super affectionate, you know, like we'll say like love you
Speaker 1: and that sort of stuff, but we're not like a
Speaker 1: really really affectionate family. Yeah, okay, okay, So I was
Speaker 1: sending him some pets of the kids, and then I
Speaker 1: was sending him some photos at the renovation, and then
Speaker 1: I also send him a text message and I said, this,
Speaker 1: how crazy is this before and after daddy? And there's
Speaker 1: something really humbling about being an almost forty year old
Speaker 1: woman and calling your dad daddy. So I then freaked out,
Speaker 1: of course, naturally, except this is happening in text message,
Speaker 1: in real time, and I was like, ha ha ha,
Speaker 1: so sorry. I didn't mean to call you daddy. That
Speaker 1: was just a weird autocorrect moment. And all I got
Speaker 1: from my dad was I got left on red for
Speaker 1: half an hour and then I got a thumbs up, Laura,
Speaker 1: why did you double down? Just let it go, move on,
Speaker 1: send some more pitches. You can't just call your father
Speaker 1: daddy and then just move on. It's you know why.
Speaker 1: It's because I call my husband daddy, which sounds weird.
Speaker 1: Also not in a sexy way, as in like because
Speaker 1: like the kids call him daddy. So I'll be like, oh,
Speaker 1: go and ask daddy or do this for daddy. Hate
Speaker 1: to get away with that with Matt, not with your
Speaker 1: own dad.
Speaker 2: Hey, Daddy, check my child's out, Daddy, Like that's sweet.
Speaker 1: It's giving like how the Royal family, you know, like
Speaker 1: they call their momm He's still like, yeah, there has
Speaker 1: to be an age limit. Mums is different though, because.
Speaker 2: Mummy mummy's not used in that like sexual connotation that
Speaker 2: that tone.
Speaker 1: Daddy is, Daddy is in hey, daddy, Sorry, Grace is
Speaker 1: in the same sex relationship right now. It's like, I
Speaker 1: think that's not true if we definitely mummy each other.
Speaker 1: I also recently called my boss honey, like I don't
Speaker 1: know what's wrong with me, but it needs to stop.
Speaker 1: It's not okay, it's inappropriate.
Speaker 2: You make me feel wildly uncomfortable a lot when I
Speaker 2: call you names. Now, when you call my boss honey
Speaker 2: in front of me, I'm like, I don't call him honey.
Speaker 1: Do I need to ca him money? IM getting pay rise?
Speaker 1: And why not doing something? We got ash on the line, Ash,
Speaker 1: What did you accidentally call someone?
Speaker 3: Okay, lady, I called working in childcare? I called one
Speaker 3: of our currents daddy literally told him love you, daddy
Speaker 3: as he was handing his child over to me to
Speaker 3: leave for work.
Speaker 1: Why did you say you love him?
Speaker 3: Busy morning?
Speaker 4: You know what childcare is like?
Speaker 3: Busy morning was yet the detective so hot, which was
Speaker 3: more embarrassing. I think we just kind of both looked
Speaker 3: at each other gave each other like a mortified smile
Speaker 3: and a bit of aut uha and yeah less of the.
Speaker 2: Day, like love you, daddy, go figure that one out,
Speaker 2: detective love.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And then I had his daughter for the next
Speaker 3: four years.
Speaker 4: So very awkward.
Speaker 1: That makes me feel slightly better at least mine actually
Speaker 1: is my daddy likes, not a random kid's dad. Thanks Ash,
Speaker 1: We've got Harrod on the line, Harriet. What did you
Speaker 1: accidentally call someone?
Speaker 4: I was two weeks into a new job and I
Speaker 4: got her an email from my colleagues, Bobby, asking me
Speaker 4: if I could do some training, and I replied ye,
Speaker 4: no worries. Except instead of saying hi, Bobby, I wrote
Speaker 4: hi Booby and I spent the email.
Speaker 1: They're so innocent. I love it.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Would you rather call someone Booby or
Speaker 1: Daddy that you work? I don't know that's up to you.
Speaker 1: Carry what would you proper?
Speaker 4: I would say daddy to be honest.
Speaker 1: Did Booby respond Yeah?
Speaker 4: And I didn't know that I'd done it until she
Speaker 4: replied saying, oh, normally my friends only called me that
Speaker 4: I guess they're friends. Now, Well play my email and say,
Speaker 4: oh my god, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: My friends only call me daddy, usually not my daughter,
Speaker 2: because my girlfriends call me daddy.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, it will stop, mixed up. I hate everything, Harriet. No,
Speaker 1: like I said, Dad just gave me a thumbs up
Speaker 1: in true dad style. Worse. That's worse. Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: he just like continued on. He didn't even acknowledge the
Speaker 1: auto correct excuse I came up with.
Speaker 2: I think they should ban the thumbs up. I think
Speaker 2: they should take the emoji out. I don't think anything good.
Speaker 1: Comes from it. Yeah, it's like passive aggress passive.
Speaker 2: It's never in support, but it really is.
Speaker 1: It's like the ultimate Dad move to just send a
Speaker 1: thumbs up and be like, we're all awkward. Never do
Speaker 1: that again. Move on. You know what time of the
Speaker 1: year it is, Brittany. Unfortunately, I somehow do, but I'm
Speaker 1: not sure how I know. Okay, Well, actually we're still
Speaker 1: a little bit of time off this, and the reason
Speaker 1: why we're talking about it is because I refuse to
Speaker 1: forget again this year. So book Week, August sixteen, it starts. However,
Speaker 1: I have a bit of a gripe, and I wonder
Speaker 1: whether I'm alone in my parenting on this or whether
Speaker 1: other parents feel the same. Why is book Week a week?
Speaker 1: Why is it not book Day?
Speaker 2: Probably the most commonly asked and generally left unanswered question, Laura.
Speaker 1: No parent has time for a week. Book week?
Speaker 2: Book Day, I should say, is a brilliant idea. I
Speaker 2: love what is behind it, but I don't know how
Speaker 2: many parents that have one, two, three, four kids that
Speaker 2: need to make five costumes each per kid?
Speaker 1: Like that's too much. Well, this is the thing we're
Speaker 1: talking about last week, and Britt, like, you didn't realize this.
Speaker 1: So it's fine in schools because schools do our day,
Speaker 1: they do one day. And I absolutely am all behind it.
Speaker 1: It's so nice for kids to get excited about reading
Speaker 1: and their characters, and my kids absolutely love it. The
Speaker 1: problem is is that if you have a kid that's
Speaker 1: in preschool, every single day of that week is book Day.
Speaker 1: Is in daycare four days a week, So that's four
Speaker 1: costumes I've got to come up with. And then this
Speaker 1: year it's Maley May's first year of kindergarten, and so
Speaker 1: Bookweek is such a big deal. And now the truth
Speaker 1: is every single year, I have forgotten about book Week
Speaker 1: until the day of the morning. Yeah, and it's become like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, like maybe other parents will relate to this,
Speaker 1: but I feel like I'm the morning of book Week
Speaker 1: and I'm running around the house and I'm ripping apart
Speaker 1: the costume box and I'm trying to find a book
Speaker 1: that relates to a costume that we have. Last year,
Speaker 1: Lola went on Monday as a dinosaur and Maley went
Speaker 1: as Bell from Beauty and the Beast. We just luckily
Speaker 1: had a book about dinosaurs and we had to be
Speaker 1: in the Beast book. That's perfect. Yeah, that's too much work, guys,
Speaker 1: So have you started to prep this year. No, I've
Speaker 1: just put it in the calendar. At least it's in
Speaker 1: the calendar. But you know what your problem is.
Speaker 2: You also need to put in the calendar like two
Speaker 2: days in advance, not the day off.
Speaker 1: That doesn't help you. There's just too much going on.
Speaker 1: I'm too pregnant firstly, and we're very busy with work
Speaker 1: and I'm on the wine down, like I'm trying to
Speaker 1: prepare for the fact that we're adding another child to
Speaker 1: the equation, let alone running around doing book Week stuff.
Speaker 1: All right, it's too much. I'm picking up a bit
Speaker 1: of an energy here.
Speaker 2: Do you want me to make a costume this year?
Speaker 1: I will do that.
Speaker 2: I will make the best Auntie Brittany costume that your
Speaker 2: kids have ever seen.
Speaker 1: For book Week.
Speaker 2: I don't know if my actually a creative, but I'm enthusiastic.
Speaker 1: You are enthusiast. I've seen you with a hot glue
Speaker 1: gun and some sparkles. My girl, you can do it.
Speaker 1: I believe in you. I think after the last two
Speaker 1: years of book Week costumes that my kids have been
Speaker 1: subjected to, they'll take anything to your honor.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, why don't we do that? Why don't I
Speaker 2: make Marley May?
Speaker 1: You can do all of Lola's that sounds I'll take
Speaker 1: the other kid. What's the other one's name?
Speaker 2: For the other one, I will take Marley May because
Speaker 2: she's got one day, so I'll do that challenge.
Speaker 1: I'll go to Spotlight.
Speaker 2: Spotlight have everything you absolutely need for book Week. So
Speaker 2: they've got actually they've got pre made costumes. But I'm
Speaker 2: not going to do a premate. I'm going to make
Speaker 2: one with my bare hands.
Speaker 1: You haven't even asked what she wants yet. She might
Speaker 1: want something really complex. Oh is she very specific? She's
Speaker 1: Molly May is my specific child, and she will pick
Speaker 1: the exact book and she will know if you have
Speaker 1: not followed it to a tea. That's why she's so hard.
Speaker 1: That's why it's just easier to forget before I often
Speaker 1: to make it. Well, why don't we get Molly May
Speaker 1: in here.
Speaker 2: She can give me her requests for what she wants
Speaker 2: and we'll go from there.
Speaker 1: Sure, perfect, Molly May is going to Brittany.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I'm glad that you've said this live because it means
Speaker 1: you can't take it back, so you can. Yes, I'm
Speaker 1: all back. I'm all for it. You can make a
Speaker 1: costume this year and you can be Auntie of the
Speaker 1: Year and take a load off me. I'm very proud
Speaker 1: of that. I'll do that for you.
Speaker 2: I only have a dog, so I don't have a
Speaker 2: lot of responsibility.
Speaker 1: I do dress her up. But anyway, I did see
Speaker 1: a picture of Daulilah. I mean wait, I didn't see
Speaker 1: a picture. I was there Delilah and a veil at
Speaker 1: your wedding. She really went all out. It was like
Speaker 1: Delilaho's winning. Is this okay? We'll watch this space for
Speaker 1: what I come up with later in the week.
Speaker 2: Hey, I have a bit of an update for you
Speaker 2: on well, I don't want to say a health condition,
Speaker 2: but I guess it is in a way a health condition.
Speaker 2: But I think it's a really important PSA for literally
Speaker 2: everybody listening right now. Like if you guys have been
Speaker 2: following along with me personally or the radio show or
Speaker 2: the podcast, you know, I would have spoken about it.
Speaker 2: But a few years ago, I basically like I had
Speaker 2: to burn my whole face off with this topical chemotherapy
Speaker 2: for a pre skin cancer.
Speaker 1: So I went to the doctor.
Speaker 2: About these like tiny little spots on my face, Like
Speaker 2: there were just two that I thought were funny and
Speaker 2: they wouldn't go away.
Speaker 1: One was on my lip and one was on my forehead.
Speaker 2: I'm talking like just a bit of discoloration really, but
Speaker 2: it was also quite dry, and I just thought, just weird,
Speaker 2: it's not going like I was doing all the moisturizer
Speaker 2: and whatever else. And I went to my skin doctor
Speaker 2: and I ended up going through some testing, but I
Speaker 2: got diagnosed with something called solar keratosis, which a lot
Speaker 2: of you might have heard about. It's essentially called pre
Speaker 2: skin cancer. So if left can and probably will turn
Speaker 2: into a skin cancer.
Speaker 1: How do they have any idea of how long it
Speaker 1: takes to transition or is it just one of those
Speaker 1: things where you're like, it's so some people it could
Speaker 1: be years for other people could just be like unlucky, and.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it depends how long it's been there for,
Speaker 2: so it essentially will transition, So you need to deal
Speaker 2: with it basically, And I guess this is why it's
Speaker 2: so important to get an early diagnosis before something can
Speaker 2: spread or turn into something nasty. And so the treatment
Speaker 2: for that is what I just said. It's a topical chemotherapy.
Speaker 2: So it's this, like it's so cytotoxic. You have to
Speaker 2: put gloves on, you have to specially order it, and
Speaker 2: you cover your face in it, and your whole face
Speaker 2: is like the most red, raw.
Speaker 1: Burnt scab, Like it's so painful.
Speaker 2: Your whole face just basically is being killed, I guess
Speaker 2: for want of a better word. And essentially it takes
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks, it scabs over, peels off, and
Speaker 2: the idea is the bad parts go and you regenerate
Speaker 2: with nice skin again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I remember when you did because We
Speaker 1: were on radio at the time and you were a
Speaker 1: bit like turn the cameras off, and I mean, I don't.
Speaker 1: I want to be careful with because I think even
Speaker 1: the way you explained it then could scare people away
Speaker 1: from doing it, like it was nowhere near as bad
Speaker 1: as you probably felt like it was.
Speaker 2: Well, my update is I went back for It's been
Speaker 2: two years actually, which is probably too long.
Speaker 1: It definitely is too long. I just sort of put
Speaker 1: it off.
Speaker 2: I went back on the weekend and I have to
Speaker 2: do it again, so I have two spots again, and
Speaker 2: I have to do this whole treatment again where I
Speaker 2: have to burn my face off with this chemotherapy. So
Speaker 2: I'm I mean, we joke about me saying turn the
Speaker 2: cameras off last time, but I still went to work,
Speaker 2: I still put on my socials.
Speaker 1: I wanted to advocate for it, but.
Speaker 2: I think I'm going to do it even more so
Speaker 2: this time because it's really scary and like two in
Speaker 2: three Australians are going to get skin cancer in their life.
Speaker 1: That's the stat. Yeah, the stat's so crazy. But also
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like if you've grown up in Australia,
Speaker 1: if you spent any time out in the sun. Just
Speaker 1: remember to go and get checked, because like you can
Speaker 1: go and do your mole mapping these days, you can
Speaker 1: go in and it's the consistency because unless you know
Speaker 1: what's changed half the time, you don't actually know what's wrong.
Speaker 1: And I mean, I think I grew up really just
Speaker 1: thinking that having things burn off you was pretty normal.
Speaker 1: Like my mum, my grandpa, parents, everyone has had different
Speaker 1: skin things burn off them over the years. It's funny
Speaker 1: now looking back because it's so not normal, but it's
Speaker 1: just such a condition of being in Australia and the
Speaker 1: fact that for so long we had such a crazy
Speaker 1: tanning culture and I know some people still still subscribe
Speaker 1: to it. But we were kids of the eighties and
Speaker 1: the nineties, like we were outside hardly any sunscreen, sun
Speaker 1: baking all the time. And now it's really come out,
Speaker 1: like just how damaging that's really is for you.
Speaker 2: Part of me is like, oh my god, I can't
Speaker 2: be any to do this again, but the other part
Speaker 2: of me really wants to advocate for you to go
Speaker 2: and get a skin check. Like if this is your
Speaker 2: reminder right now, if you're in the car and you're like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, I've been putting that off for so long.
Speaker 2: Do not put it off. Go and book your appointment now.
Speaker 2: When you pull over in your car, go and call.
Speaker 2: Remember to keep an eye on everything on your body.
Speaker 2: If it's changed, if it's gotten darker or drier, if
Speaker 2: it's a regular you need to go and get a check.
Speaker 1: No, I know, Bri. And that also is like the
Speaker 1: reminder I need because it's been a couple of years
Speaker 1: since I've been. And it's one of those things where
Speaker 1: you're like, ah, I'll go what it happened to me? Yeah, yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I mean two and three probably means as the likelihood
Speaker 1: it will happen to you.
Speaker 2: Anyway, you're going to see it all play out because
Speaker 2: unfortunately we do film everything.
Speaker 1: So yeah, all right, guys, Well that is it from
Speaker 1: us today,
