Speaker 1: Laura, come on here we go.
Speaker 2: Hello everyone, girls, Hello everybody. Happy Monday, Happy Monday.
Speaker 1: Do you know what else today is? No one cares
Speaker 1: that I care. I know what day it is. It's
Speaker 1: my wedding anniversary.
Speaker 3: Yay.
Speaker 2: Two years ago at about this time, I was stuffed
Speaker 2: into a limousine with my daughters and too many women
Speaker 2: and a dog. And then I was walking down the
Speaker 2: aisle to marry my beautiful husband.
Speaker 1: Were you in a limo? Did we even see? I
Speaker 1: don't think it was No, Yeah, we were. We were
Speaker 1: in a stretching mode behind us. I'm glad you spend
Speaker 1: money on that. We don't even remember it.
Speaker 2: It's so like a stretch limo. It's it's a bit
Speaker 2: lame together. But two years ago I was crap in the.
Speaker 1: Back of a car with the kids stretch Hm, I
Speaker 1: who do I think? I am?
Speaker 2: So we we're not anniversary. People like my husband and
Speaker 2: I were very bad with dates, like we forget everything
Speaker 2: that's important, and I'd forgotten that it was our wedding anniversary,
Speaker 2: and so would he. And this morning I was sitting
Speaker 2: on the toilet and he walked into the bathroom to
Speaker 2: take his retainers out and put them into the little
Speaker 2: glass thing next to the sink and he comes over
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, you're a bit close for
Speaker 2: me sitting on the loop and he kisses me on
Speaker 2: the forehead and goes, happy anniversary, sweetheart.
Speaker 1: Two years in. That's where we're at. It's really do
Speaker 1: you know what else is? Let down fellous? No, Actually
Speaker 1: it was mean.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, the only person who's in my
Speaker 2: wedding video that we don't see anymore is your ex
Speaker 2: boyfriend Minch break It's like, there's always someone who falls
Speaker 2: by the wayside.
Speaker 4: You invited him?
Speaker 1: Shame you mean Usore? I invited him?
Speaker 5: Can you use a I to just remove him from it?
Speaker 5: Surely there's technology that exist to.
Speaker 3: Remove You can put other people's faces on put just
Speaker 3: put like, who's your Hall pass again, Jason Momoa, Jason, Jason,
Speaker 3: That will not work.
Speaker 1: But Jason Momoa's face on him would still would.
Speaker 4: If Jason.
Speaker 5: Welcome to a Monday pick up everyone next on the show.
Speaker 5: Who would have thought Raygun doing a you know Raygun
Speaker 5: from the Olympics.
Speaker 1: You both look shocked, not shocked at all, shocked that
Speaker 1: we're talking about.
Speaker 5: Her, but yes, breakdownser Well, it's because she's just popped
Speaker 5: up at a stadium Marina tour over the weekend.
Speaker 4: She went, I'm that famous. I can do a whole
Speaker 4: stadium tour.
Speaker 1: She is that famous now, yeah, I do agree.
Speaker 5: Yeah, she's been caught up with a pop star on stage.

Speaker 5: every Monday. I bring you to the big stories at
Speaker 5: the weekend. You decide if we pick them up, we
Speaker 5: carry on the.
Speaker 4: Conversation into the week or we put it down. We
Speaker 4: just stopped talking about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the pickup, put down.
Speaker 4: That's right, let's go pick up, put down.
Speaker 5: Girls, Ray Gun performing with our friend Tones and I
Speaker 5: over the weekend.
Speaker 1: What I say, pick it up.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen the performance, but I love that she's
Speaker 3: making the most of her situation. She's so uber famous now,
Speaker 3: like there's no one in the world that doesn't know
Speaker 3: who she is. If you can get up and break
Speaker 3: dance with Tones and I, I think you're doing pretty well.
Speaker 3: We love Tones and I on this show, but I
Speaker 3: feel very ambivalent towards the whole thing. I just like
Speaker 3: it feels like it just keeps on coming around and
Speaker 3: coming around, the whole Raygun conversation.
Speaker 4: It also felt like it just came up out of nowhere.
Speaker 4: This is the moment. It happened at the concert. Have
Speaker 4: a listen.
Speaker 5: Now she's doing the yeah now the koala.
Speaker 2: Very random, but it's I mean, like I think she's
Speaker 2: she's done very well to make something out of what
Speaker 2: happened at the Olympics. Like she's you know, she's very
Speaker 2: much and center of the pop culture news cycle. But
Speaker 2: even the other day, she was on the project saying
Speaker 2: that she was retiring, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: she's on stage with Tones and I.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: No, she didn't say she's retiring. She said she's not
Speaker 3: going to do the big competitive dance. She's we're never
Speaker 3: going to see her at the Olympics again. But she
Speaker 3: said she's going to continue to dance and have fun
Speaker 3: with the communities and stuff like that, Like who cares?
Speaker 1: Let the girl live for how a news? How is
Speaker 1: her retiring for competing?
Speaker 2: And also it's no longer at the Olympics anyway, so
Speaker 2: that you can't compete at the Olympics in break dancing
Speaker 2: because it was the one year only thing.
Speaker 1: So like, how is that even new?
Speaker 4: Read some of the news publications. How is anything?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. Sorry, you know what I mean. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we talk about like fart and in public and stuff.
Speaker 1: Last week was well coming up next.
Speaker 4: To talk about a penguin pigmy hipper moo dang, remember right?
Speaker 4: Pick up? Put down? Girls.
Speaker 5: Female artists dominating the twenty twenty five Grammy nominations over
Speaker 5: the weekend.
Speaker 1: Pick it up, I mean, obviously pick it up. It's
Speaker 1: who is at t Swift, Beyonce.
Speaker 5: Oh, it's not even really it's Charlie the ex dominated
Speaker 5: Billie Eilish absolutely dominated. Beyonce had the most nominations at
Speaker 5: eleven this year Album of the Year. Six of the
Speaker 5: eight are all from female artists. That's amazing, and Best
Speaker 5: Pop Vocal Album and Best Solo Performance only have female nominees.
Speaker 4: No man, not all.
Speaker 1: So I mean, I'm about it. I think this is
Speaker 1: the world that I want to see. Has it been
Speaker 1: like what was? I mean?
Speaker 2: Probably not one knows that the stats like, how different
Speaker 2: is it to last year's searched today?
Speaker 4: Sorry, so please, for the love of God, don't.
Speaker 1: Well, we're making advances in every happening.
Speaker 4: I pick up, put down.
Speaker 5: This is a very interesting story, Mattel's Wicked movie dolls
Speaker 5: accidentally linking a porn site on their packages.
Speaker 1: I'll put it down, so surely not. Someone's got to
Speaker 1: be in trouble for that.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: The barcode on the back of the Wicked doll, the
Speaker 5: Ariana Grande as Glinda, the Goodwich doll. The barcode if
Speaker 5: you scan on your phone takes you to Wicked, which
Speaker 5: is a female only porn site.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Someone is shocked.
Speaker 4: And as of this moment it still stands.
Speaker 3: But that this a company is a big Mattel. This
Speaker 3: can't be just going past one person. It can't be
Speaker 3: just one person's job to figure out this link, this
Speaker 3: barcode and get it printed on like, surely that's going
Speaker 3: through one.
Speaker 5: Persons all Wicked dot com. And they assumed that was Wicked,
Speaker 5: that would be Wicked. They thought that the domain would
Speaker 5: have been brought by Universal Pictures, when in fact Wicked
Speaker 5: is a lesbian only porn site.
Speaker 3: But your job is to check you don't just assume
Speaker 3: anything that big.
Speaker 1: Guys, I'm speechless about this.
Speaker 2: This to me is I mean, like everyone makes mistakes
Speaker 2: at work, some people's mistakes are bigger than others. And
Speaker 2: some people are linking a porn site to a kid.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not funny.
Speaker 1: It's very bad.
Speaker 4: It's not funny at all.
Speaker 1: It's really bad. No, there's a lot of lawsuits in that,
Speaker 1: especially because it's in America.
Speaker 4: I did watch some of those videos.
Speaker 1: They were quite theatrical, though, were they do they sing?
Speaker 4: My production quality?
Speaker 2: They sing?
Speaker 4: But think it's not that different way.
Speaker 1: The good thing about is that there's always a storyline.
Speaker 2: No, okay, we left your hanging there big time, all
Speaker 2: of us all right.
Speaker 4: Next on the show, Oh, changing pace a little bit,
Speaker 4: don't we?
Speaker 1: Well we are.
Speaker 2: It's something that everyone's talking about, these new legislations that
Speaker 2: are coming out about raising the age of kids on
Speaker 2: social media. It's apparently changed into the age of sixteen,
Speaker 2: and I think widely people think it's a really good thing.
Speaker 2: But you know, there's definitely some people who feel differently
Speaker 2: about it. We have some thoughts on this coming up
Speaker 2: next on the pick Up, So last Thursday, there was
Speaker 2: some pretty big news that was announced in Parliament. Now
Speaker 2: we're not normally your political radio show, that's for sure,
Speaker 2: but it's something that we've been talking about a lot,
Speaker 2: and that is Anthony Abernezi. He has announced that they're
Speaker 2: going to raise the age for kids using social media
Speaker 2: in Australia. So currently that age sits at thirteen and
Speaker 2: it's increasing to sixteen and sometime in the next year,
Speaker 2: the policies and the legislation around it is going to
Speaker 2: be passed. Now when I first saw this, I, like
Speaker 2: everybody else, thought this is an amazing, amazing idea, and
Speaker 2: I shared it on social media because I was like, blanket, like,
Speaker 2: that is such a great thing to be put through,
Speaker 2: because I think we're all very very aware of the
Speaker 2: horrible effects that social media has on our kids, and
Speaker 2: I think as a parent, every parent feels like, how
Speaker 2: do I protect my children from the online world, and
Speaker 2: so raising the age seems like the suitable answer.
Speaker 1: So I shared it on social media.
Speaker 2: And I was really really surprised by the mixed bag
Speaker 2: of reaction that I received. A lot of people said
Speaker 2: it was incredible, but a lot of people really raise
Speaker 2: the question as to whether that this was actually going
Speaker 2: to be a great reform, whether it's going to have
Speaker 2: any impact at all. And some of these people were
Speaker 2: individuals who work within e safety with children online. So
Speaker 2: I did a bit of research and I wanted to
Speaker 2: have the conversation with you guys because I really don't
Speaker 2: know how I feel about it.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: The debate that's being had is simply that kids are
Speaker 2: going to find a work around, right, Like if a
Speaker 2: kid wants to be on social media, if a fifteen
Speaker 2: year old, if that's all their friends, if that's where
Speaker 2: they are and that's where they're discussing stuff. If a
Speaker 2: fifteen year old wants to get on social media or
Speaker 2: a fourteen year old, they're going to find a way
Speaker 2: to do it, especially because what Anthony Abernezi has come
Speaker 2: out and said is that there isn't going to be
Speaker 2: any consequences for the kids or for the parents if
Speaker 2: a child has found out to be online.
Speaker 1: Right, so they're going to do it anywy.
Speaker 2: But by doing it, doesn't that then mean that we're
Speaker 2: creating an environment where kids aren't supposed to be online,
Speaker 2: so they're lying to their parents and then if something
Speaker 2: really dangerous happens, like someone sends photos they shouldn't or
Speaker 2: they're getting bullied online, that they'll be too scared to
Speaker 2: talk to their parents about what's happening on that platform
Speaker 2: because we've created an environment where they shouldn't be on
Speaker 2: there in the first place.
Speaker 1: I'm for it.
Speaker 3: Personally, I don't agree that this blanket ban is the
Speaker 3: right way to go, but I like the initiative and
Speaker 3: I like the fact that the conversation has started, and
Speaker 3: it will start worldwide now with governments all over the place,
Speaker 3: because it is going to set a precedence. It is
Speaker 3: going to make conglomerates like metas stand up and say, okay,
Speaker 3: what are we going to do?
Speaker 1: Who is going to take the responsibility? And changes will
Speaker 1: be made. So I think for.
Speaker 3: Now it's a band aid and a conversation startup, and
Speaker 3: I think what's going to happen? Laura like the way
Speaker 3: I see it is when you say, Okay, kids are
Speaker 3: going to do it anyway.
Speaker 1: Of course they are.
Speaker 3: They're going to drink anyway, They're going to do drugs anyway,
Speaker 3: and they're going to be having sex anyway. Like these
Speaker 3: are all things that people are going to do, But
Speaker 3: it doesn't mean that something has to be allowed or
Speaker 3: legal just because they're going to do it. It's just
Speaker 3: hard because there's no actual repercussions. The repercussions are coming
Speaker 3: from currently, the proposal is that they'll come from meta
Speaker 3: and the meta will be fine.
Speaker 1: That's where that's what the part I don't understand is right.
Speaker 2: So it's a very different looks when you think about
Speaker 2: drinking or drugs or anything else. If you're an adult
Speaker 2: and you're supplying alcohol to a kid, you get fined
Speaker 2: five thousand dollars. If you're supplying cigarettes to a kid,
Speaker 2: you get fined five thousand dollars. But here it's like, hey,
Speaker 2: this is a new rule, but nobody there's no rules, Like,
Speaker 2: there's no actual consequences to the rules.
Speaker 1: I can't see a world where it's going to work,
Speaker 1: is my problem.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I also think, like to your point, kids
Speaker 5: are going to do it. I don't know about YouTube,
Speaker 5: but I grew up with the Internet. I had internet
Speaker 5: in high school.
Speaker 1: You do know about us Mith, You know we didn't
Speaker 1: have it?
Speaker 5: No, I.
Speaker 4: We had a dial, Yeah, yeah, you got.
Speaker 1: I had a miss and HX location, I had.
Speaker 4: ASL too, had Habo hotel, I had at all.
Speaker 5: But My point is I actually think some of the
Speaker 5: owners needs to be on literacy.
Speaker 1: For the parents hundred I agree woheartedly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think need to be educated.
Speaker 5: My mom doesn't know how to plug in an HDMI cable,
Speaker 5: let alone know if I, at the age of fourteen,
Speaker 5: was on an app talking to random men.
Speaker 1: I agree with that, but I disagree as well.
Speaker 3: You cannot completely put the blame on parents to know
Speaker 3: what their kids are doing twenty four hours a day
Speaker 3: when they exist in a world like the Internet.
Speaker 1: That is a dark place where anything can go down.
Speaker 3: I know how the Internet and social media affects me
Speaker 3: as a well educated, adjusted, worldly adult, and I have
Speaker 3: been trolled and bully to the point that I have
Speaker 3: not been okay. So what is a thirteen to sixteen
Speaker 3: year old feeling at that age if I know I
Speaker 3: wasn't okay? And I think this is where the discussion
Speaker 3: comes in, because if meta's going to be being fined,
Speaker 3: the whole idea is to push them to a point
Speaker 3: where they're like, Okay, we can't constantly be being fined
Speaker 3: millions and millions of dollars. We have to figure out
Speaker 3: a way that these kids can't be online. And I
Speaker 3: think that that is where this discussion is going.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, I mean there's so many layers to it.
Speaker 1: I feel like maybe.
Speaker 2: We need to get a child psychologist or someone on
Speaker 2: who who knows a bit more about this and whether
Speaker 2: this is something that's actually going to be beneficially as
Speaker 2: we think it is.
Speaker 5: Well, we can do it for I mean tomorrow, we
Speaker 5: can get that on. We can try and get a
Speaker 5: psychologist on and it works with kids. Let's try for that. Well,
Speaker 5: we'll touch back on that tomorrow.
Speaker 3: I wanted to talk to you guys today about something
Speaker 3: that I'm facing internally in an expistential crisis.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I have become so lazy, and not lazy in the
Speaker 3: sense of like, oh, of my energy levels.
Speaker 1: That's great, I exercise every day.
Speaker 3: I love that lazy and just like the effort I
Speaker 3: put into myself. And I don't know if it's because
Speaker 3: I'm in this long distance relationship. So I was like,
Speaker 3: I don't go home to any one and I don't
Speaker 3: have to impress anyone.
Speaker 1: But I had this moment the other day.
Speaker 3: I had an event on that I was going to
Speaker 3: and I was wearing a dress that had my legs out,
Speaker 3: but I had long sleeves, and I was so lazy
Speaker 3: that I just tanned my legs with a fake tan
Speaker 3: and then tanned my face and tanned my hands, and
Speaker 3: that is it like the only bare minimum of skin
Speaker 3: that was going to be on show. And then when
Speaker 3: I got naked, I looked at myself. I was like
Speaker 3: a top deck chocolate. I was like half white patches
Speaker 3: there everywhere.
Speaker 2: This feels me with so much joy because I'm like,
Speaker 2: welcome to the dark side.
Speaker 1: I gave up years ago, Like I feel like I've
Speaker 1: been there for so long. Finally you've joined me.
Speaker 4: Do you do the same thing for forever?
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll only fake tan if there's like a
Speaker 2: thing that I have to go to.
Speaker 3: And I'm also a bit of italiany though, so your
Speaker 3: skins remains olive, whereas I am so sun safe that
Speaker 3: I go see through.
Speaker 2: I agree with you that I've got a little bit
Speaker 2: of color, but like it's not good. But I went
Speaker 2: when we went to the Logis recently, I hadn't fake
Speaker 2: tanns at all, and my makeup art is basically just
Speaker 2: painted my arms with this like temporary tan stuff that
Speaker 2: was full of glow and everything else. So I don't
Speaker 2: even look like me. I look like a fake human
Speaker 2: because I look like a mannequin. I'm so painted. But no,
Speaker 2: my thing is I'm so lazy. I don't like showering
Speaker 2: of an evening, which will probably discuss a lot of people.
Speaker 1: It's lazy. That's just some hygienie.
Speaker 2: No, I'm just like, I go to bed really late,
Speaker 2: it's like eleven thirty usually because I get back on
Speaker 2: my laptop and I do work. So come eleven thirty,
Speaker 2: I don't want to be wet. I don't want to
Speaker 2: go to bed with wet hair.
Speaker 1: You different kind.
Speaker 3: So I.
Speaker 2: Just put my feet in the sink and I washed
Speaker 2: my feet so my feet are clean.
Speaker 5: That's my lady, so before and it's it's it's considering
Speaker 5: how well off you are in life.
Speaker 4: Know you are. That's discussing.
Speaker 3: But it's also not that's not lazy because it actually
Speaker 3: takes more effort to whak your feet up into a
Speaker 3: little sink and wash them and dry.
Speaker 1: Just get in the shower and clean yourself.
Speaker 2: Disagree, I've got another tip for you. Kids love it.
Speaker 2: So I'll sit on the edge of the bath where
Speaker 2: my kids are having a bath, and I'll put my
Speaker 2: feet in and then my three year old's like, Mummy,
Speaker 2: I'll wash your feet. She washes her feet. Three year
Speaker 2: olds to wash my feet.
Speaker 1: That's fine. I love that child labor. I think there,
Speaker 1: wash mommy's feet.
Speaker 4: She loves it.
Speaker 5: Like, get that tone her clipper, mommy, and just clip mums.
Speaker 2: Sorry, could you get that dry bit of skin off
Speaker 2: the side there?
Speaker 1: It's just shave it.
Speaker 5: We're clearly creating a safe space because Amanda's called Amanda.
Speaker 5: Do you have a something that that's you know, shows
Speaker 5: how lazy you are? Yeah?
Speaker 3: When I want something, oh, say something to my husband.
Speaker 6: Oh maybe like a what it would.
Speaker 1: Be nice and you'll just get up and get Oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've trained him so well, lazy and manipulative.
Speaker 1: Great is he on me?
Speaker 4: Is he on to you? Or he just loves you?
Speaker 4: It's devoted.
Speaker 3: I think he is onto me.
Speaker 1: But have you have you.
Speaker 3: Tried saying oh, Bentley would be nice or the male
Speaker 3: dives would be nice.
Speaker 6: Yeah, look, I don't want to push it.
Speaker 5: Yes, smart stick with a sparkling and what about you, Nikola,
Speaker 5: h you're way lazy.
Speaker 6: It's actually not me. It's my boyfriend. So he last
Speaker 6: November he was like my family is so lazy that
Speaker 6: I'm going to keep the tree up and I'll prove
Speaker 6: a point to you that they're going to keep it up.
Speaker 6: And it's November now, so it's wally been to prove
Speaker 6: a point to me.
Speaker 1: I've never actually known people joke about it.
Speaker 3: I've never actually known someone in real life to leave
Speaker 3: a Christmas tree up the entire year.
Speaker 1: That's wild. It does come in handy come November.
Speaker 4: I have eleven months. I used to go to Naomi
Speaker 4: Benson's house as a kid.
Speaker 5: I remember it vividly, and she put a bed sheet
Speaker 5: her and you'd walk in and you'd be like, is
Speaker 5: that actually Christmas tree? Yeah, I'm like okay, And then
Speaker 5: in November pulled it off and it was already to go.
Speaker 2: That she covers it because otherwise it would be dusty
Speaker 2: and people would know it's old.
Speaker 4: Chloe's cold. We are guys. It's just like therapy, Chloe.
Speaker 4: Why are you lazy?
Speaker 6: Lazy in the sense that I will plan an outfit
Speaker 6: based on whether or not I need to shave.
Speaker 2: My legs good I like that, Or you can just
Speaker 2: embrace it and wear whatever and accept that your legs
Speaker 2: are hairy.
Speaker 1: That's fine.
Speaker 3: I'm so lazy that I wear the same thing for
Speaker 3: like five days in a row. If I've worn something,
Speaker 3: I'll just take it off at night and put it
Speaker 3: on it in my bed, and I just wake up
Speaker 3: the next same and put it back on.
Speaker 4: We've noticed.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm still I'm not offended, miss, I'm embracing.
Speaker 4: It's a good thing. It's a good's sustainable.
Speaker 1: Yes, thank you.
Speaker 2: Maybe just we all collectively need to care less and
Speaker 2: then it will be fine.
Speaker 4: Okay, let's try that that bodes with the bosses.
Speaker 2: Al Right, everyone care less, Flora, MAT's like, no, do
Speaker 2: less and be hairyer.
Speaker 1: We'll be happier.
Speaker 4: All right, Well let's start now. We're going home.
Speaker 1: Yeah, see you guys. I care less you tomorrow.
Speaker 4: It was Joe. It was funny, Will and what do
Speaker 4: you care about?
