WEBVTT - MINI: Should Shawn Mendes HAVE to address his sexuality? 🎸

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Listen, girls, at the moment, with the election going on,

0:00:02.240 --> 0:00:04.040
<v Speaker 1>there's so much news in the air, and you go,

0:00:04.080 --> 0:00:05.080
<v Speaker 1>where do I get my news from?

0:00:05.080 --> 0:00:06.160
<v Speaker 2>What publication do we go to?

0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:08.760
<v Speaker 3>Of course they come here listen to us. Why would

0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:10.360
<v Speaker 3>you not come to the pickup to unpack all the

0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:11.040
<v Speaker 3>great That's what.

0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:11.920
<v Speaker 2>We do every Wednesday.

0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I bring Brita Laura the biggest news stories of the

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:17.680
<v Speaker 1>middle of the week and then they decide whether we

0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:19.680
<v Speaker 1>pick them up, we keep the conversation going, or we

0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:20.200
<v Speaker 1>put it down.

0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:22.440
<v Speaker 2>We never speak on the topic again. Are we ready, girls?

0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:23.840
<v Speaker 4>We aren't ready?

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:24.119
<v Speaker 2>All right?

0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:24.400
<v Speaker 5>Pick up?

0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Put down?

0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:28.640
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Albanesi using his prime ministerial power to get free

0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:31.680
<v Speaker 1>update upgrades on Quantus flights.

0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:35.720
<v Speaker 4>Pick it up, pick it up.

0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:38.440
<v Speaker 3>I was having this conversation with my mother in law

0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 3>surprisingly yesterday because like everyone was up in arms that

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:43.839
<v Speaker 3>Albo recently bought himself an expensive property. It was like

0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:46.360
<v Speaker 3>a four million dollar property that was beachfront. You did, okay,

0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:48.400
<v Speaker 3>And I understand that in the cost of living that

0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:51.520
<v Speaker 3>seems crazy, but he also is the man that runs

0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:54.800
<v Speaker 3>this country. And if it's not like a well paying job,

0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:55.880
<v Speaker 3>who's gonna want.

0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 4>To do it?

0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 3>Like no one's gonna do that for free, so I

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:00.360
<v Speaker 3>do kind of expect that, like it comes with it's

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:01.040
<v Speaker 3>per Well.

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Here we go, the details have come out, He asked

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Alan Joyce, the then CEO of Quantas, for twenty two upgrades

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:10.320
<v Speaker 1>on economy tickets. Right, some were personal holidays to Hawaii,

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Europe in La there during his time as Transport Minister,

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:14.680
<v Speaker 1>not during his time as Prime minister.

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:17.679
<v Speaker 4>You have to transport to La you gotta get so

0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 4>checks out. I mean, if anyone's gonna.

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 3>Have a perk when it comes to transport, it probably

0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:22.639
<v Speaker 3>should be the Transport minister.

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 6>Can I just say, I don't know many people in

0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 6>this world that if they have an opportunity to upgrade

0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:30.679
<v Speaker 6>themselves in some way, that they would say no.

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:34.280
<v Speaker 2>But you know, we get we get free donuts every

0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 2>now and again.

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:36.399
<v Speaker 1>Like if you're a baker, you get to take home

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:37.520
<v Speaker 1>croissants at the end of the day.

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 2>There are perks in your job. Give him a break. Yeah.

0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:42.400
<v Speaker 4>I think there's far worse things he could be doing.

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 4>That's for sure.

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:44.399
<v Speaker 2>It's all allegedly of course as well.

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:45.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, don't see us outbo.

0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure he's fucko busy to suit.

0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 4>The pick up in his beautiful beach front mansion.

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay, what about this pick up? Put down ladies and gentlemen.

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Sean Mendez finally addressing his sexuality.

0:01:55.800 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 4>What I'm going to put it down. I'm going to

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 4>pick it up.

0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 3>And I don't know whether you're angry about it or happy, Mitch,

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.360
<v Speaker 3>because you've kind of I don't know, Like, why is

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 3>everyone up in arms about this?

0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:07.760
<v Speaker 2>No one, No one's up in arms.

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 6>Oh, I'm only putting it down because I don't think

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:12.399
<v Speaker 6>we should have to be in a society where someone

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:13.800
<v Speaker 6>has to come out and address their sexuality.

0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 1>No, I agree, but I think we need to talk

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:17.560
<v Speaker 1>about it as someone who is gay and who struggle

0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:19.800
<v Speaker 1>with their sexuality. I want to play you what Sean

0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:22.400
<v Speaker 1>said at his concept overnight. This is pretty breaking news.

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:24.839
<v Speaker 1>He has faced the poor thing. Allegations are being gay,

0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:27.840
<v Speaker 1>not even allegations. For God's sake, people have outed him

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 1>four years because he's slightly more feminine, he's a.

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Musician, he looks after himself. This is what he's had

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 2>to say after all these years.

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 5>The real truth of all my life and my sexuality

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 5>is that man, I'm just I'm just figuring it out,

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.800
<v Speaker 5>Like everyone, and I don't really know.

0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes and I know other teams, and.

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 5>It feels really scary because we live in a society

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:57.919
<v Speaker 5>that has a lot to see about that. And I'm

0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 5>trying to be really brief and just allowed myself to

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:08.360
<v Speaker 5>be a human and feel things. And yeah, I just

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.920
<v Speaker 5>that's all I really want to say about that for now.

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 4>Mitch, how do you feel listening to that?

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:18.040
<v Speaker 6>Oh?

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:21.240
<v Speaker 2>It makes me so proud of him because I know

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:22.519
<v Speaker 2>how hard it is to come out.

0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 1>For some people, it's easy, and I know there's young

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.240
<v Speaker 1>kids listening to this, old parents that have gay kids

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:30.320
<v Speaker 1>that go as easy for my kids. He's twenty five,

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:33.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty six, you know, I'm twenty nine, different time, And

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it matters where you were raised, how

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:38.360
<v Speaker 1>old you are. Your own sexuality is your own journey.

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 1>And I really struggle before I came out, everyone thinking

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 1>I was gay already assuming putting a label on me.

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 1>And that is why it delayed me for so long,

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 1>because I hadn't come to the point myself, but everyone

0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:50.280
<v Speaker 1>else wanted to tell me first. Yeah.

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.560
<v Speaker 6>I just think I could not in a bad way.

0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:54.440
<v Speaker 6>I could not care less and if he yeah, you're

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 6>figuring it out. He's an incredible artist, and that's where

0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 6>we should.

0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Stop it totally.

0:03:58.000 --> 0:03:59.840
<v Speaker 1>And you know what we owe to him now is

0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:01.880
<v Speaker 1>to shut up about privacy and let him date who

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 1>he wants to tell.

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 4>I love that you said that, but you also brought

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 4>it to discuss it.

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.280
<v Speaker 1>I know, but I brought it to discuss it because

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:09.080
<v Speaker 1>I think it's important to talk about and.

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:12.680
<v Speaker 2>Now shut up about Shawn Mendes. Yeah, we're gonna play

0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 2>Sham Mendes' song ironically next. I believe that's big up

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:17.200
<v Speaker 2>put down.

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.360
<v Speaker 4>We happy with the stories, girls, I'm happy with the stories. Mitch,

0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.440
<v Speaker 4>well done today. Thank you so great to unpack them all.

0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:22.600
<v Speaker 4>All right, all were coming up.

0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 3>I wanted to talk about something that you would think.

0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.240
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it was heartfelt. It really was heartfelt, but

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:33.080
<v Speaker 3>also it didn't exactly go to plan. And that is

0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 3>on the weekend we scattered my grandparents' ashes. Let me

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:39.480
<v Speaker 3>tell you some things went down that probably shouldn't have

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:40.679
<v Speaker 3>the ashes.

0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 4>No, guys, it's just this.

0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:45.800
<v Speaker 3>You have an idea about how something's going to go

0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.279
<v Speaker 3>in your head, and it certainly doesn't always go to plan.

0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:49.440
<v Speaker 4>I can't wait for that one.
