Speaker 2: What our windows done?
Speaker 3: My whoa risen?
Speaker 4: The dust?
Speaker 3: Only good zabs all down. I don't much, but yeah.
Speaker 5: I'm not our big get and what I want it
Speaker 5: don't matter where.
Speaker 1: This is the pickup, Hi, guys, it's the pick up
Speaker 1: with Britt Hackley and Laura Ben.
Speaker 6: Happy Wednesday. We'll not happy for everyone, is it?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: I am obsessed with this Kylie Jenna Timothy shallow May.
Speaker 3: I ship.
Speaker 1: They're cute as little relationship. I just saw the video
Speaker 1: that's going viral. There's an open in the States called
Speaker 1: the Indian Wells.
Speaker 7: Indian Wells Tennis Competition means open, okay, because I'm a
Speaker 7: tenna's buff in case you didn't know.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: So they're sitting next to each other, clearly a pap
Speaker 1: is videoing them, and Kylie is trying to kiss Timothy
Speaker 1: shallow May, but he's so disinterested, and she's like doing
Speaker 1: this cute little smiley, like kissy little thing on the
Speaker 1: side and he is trying to pull away from her.
Speaker 3: It's the most awkward exchange.
Speaker 6: I actually have trouble watching.
Speaker 3: It makes me feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: And then she's trying to rub his belly at the
Speaker 1: same time, like he's so fixed on wanting to watch
Speaker 1: this game, and she's just blissfully unaware, smiling and rubbing
Speaker 1: his belly like it's going to bring her good luck.
Speaker 7: I think she knows how awkward it was that he
Speaker 7: was trying to pull away from her in the kiss,
Speaker 7: and she was trying to be like doubling down on
Speaker 7: we're fine, Like that's why she was rubbing his belly
Speaker 7: and stuff. She was trying to keep the affection up
Speaker 7: because she knows she's on camera.
Speaker 3: I thought she was trying to make a wish.
Speaker 7: But there were there were forensic lip readers that have
Speaker 7: come out and said they read their conversation and apparently
Speaker 7: he said yum as well. But apparently after he said yum,
Speaker 7: he's like, watched the point, baby, Like watch the point.
Speaker 6: I don't think he was being a jerk.
Speaker 7: I think he's like trying to appease her, but he's
Speaker 7: also so in the tennis because his eyes his lips
Speaker 7: are on her and his eyes were on the tennis
Speaker 7: and he's trying to pull away and she's forcing him back,
Speaker 7: and the whole thing is so uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: Guys, We're going to put it up on the pickup
Speaker 1: socials if you want.
Speaker 3: To go and have a look at it and.
Speaker 1: Be and feel viscerally uncomfortable, as equally as uncomfortable as.
Speaker 3: We all felt for you to see. Now.
Speaker 1: I don't know whether I'm just having one of those
Speaker 1: very proud parent moments, you know, when you find yourself
Speaker 1: sometimes or maybe you've been on the receiving end of
Speaker 1: this briut where someone's like showing you photos of their
Speaker 1: kid and you're thinking to yourself, please stop showing me photos.
Speaker 6: I'm on the receiving end of that daily with you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, you're so proud.
Speaker 1: But now I'm doing it on national radio, So call me.
Speaker 3: Out if I'm self indulging. No, it is cute.
Speaker 1: Every so often they do things where you have these
Speaker 1: real moments where like you realize that they've kind of
Speaker 1: moved to a new phase or they're hitting a new milestone,
Speaker 1: and it's particularly cute now with Lola, she's only four
Speaker 1: years old. I think one of the big things I've
Speaker 1: loved about parenting, and like it's very small, but it's
Speaker 1: something I find very very sweet, is that kids often
Speaker 1: say words the wrong way, and then one day they
Speaker 1: figure it out and they say it the right way,
Speaker 1: and then they never ever say that cute thing ever again. Right, So,
Speaker 1: and I no, I mean this like Lola used to
Speaker 1: say boobooberries for blueberries, and it was a door and
Speaker 1: I never realized how much I was going to miss
Speaker 1: it until one day she just started saying blueberries and
Speaker 1: she never got it wrong again.
Speaker 7: Where is this going.
Speaker 6: Win a therapy session?
Speaker 3: So are.
Speaker 6: We mourning the lot that she can speak?
Speaker 3: She doesn't say boober berries? My baby's growing up?
Speaker 1: No, she's just started to sing her ABC's now very
Speaker 1: cute and important.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's just turned four.
Speaker 1: She doesn't sing them exactly correctly by any means, but
Speaker 1: I almost don't want to correct her because it is
Speaker 1: so cute.
Speaker 3: It is you have to correct her.
Speaker 7: You can't send her off for school for her whole
Speaker 7: life not knowing ABC's because you're holding on to boober berries.
Speaker 1: I don't know my boober berries anymore, So now I
Speaker 1: need my ABC's anyway. Have a listen to this. She's
Speaker 1: so proud of herself. She performs it every day. And
Speaker 1: I got it on record because it was the cutest
Speaker 1: thing ever.
Speaker 5: Ready one two three ab CVSD how so j j
Speaker 5: L b q y y s q I b w
Speaker 5: s y n Z Now I know you ABC. Next
Speaker 5: time we're teasing with me. Oh that was amazing.
Speaker 7: I think she sleept in there BWS the b one spirits.
Speaker 6: I think she spending too much time going there with
Speaker 6: you guys.
Speaker 1: She's like, now I know your a b c's like,
Speaker 1: it's definitely not mine because this is I don't know
Speaker 1: what I just made up, but that's.
Speaker 7: Where you've been there to b b one Spirits, it's
Speaker 7: very cute, to be fair, I was following that along
Speaker 7: as it went.
Speaker 6: I reckon that was like ninety seven percent.
Speaker 3: There were only a couple of I like how she
Speaker 3: really doubled the Q like you.
Speaker 1: Know quv W b y S bring your own, d I.
Speaker 6: Y y own do it yourself.
Speaker 3: L O L to me, I've watched that video so
Speaker 3: many times. I know, no I'm biased. I find it
Speaker 3: like the cutest thing in the world.
Speaker 1: But I do want to say this to parents because
Speaker 1: I feel as though you miss them.
Speaker 6: What's the message, what's the message for? What is the
Speaker 6: story here?
Speaker 1: You miss the little weird words that your kids used
Speaker 1: to say when they were little, and also the way
Speaker 1: that they speak when they little. They have such sweet
Speaker 1: little voices. And then one day you look at your
Speaker 1: six year old and you're like, oh my god, you're
Speaker 1: a kid. Like you're not a baby anymore.
Speaker 7: Hey, you look at your kid and they're doing drugs
Speaker 7: and they're dropping out of school.
Speaker 3: Hold on to those bibberberries.
Speaker 1: But I'm always recording the girls and like voice recording them.
Speaker 1: I have little podcasts that I've done with them from
Speaker 1: when they were little. So, like I would ask, trying
Speaker 1: to replace me with your kids, I'm trying to get
Speaker 1: a new co host. So one day when you move
Speaker 1: overseas to me with your fiance.
Speaker 3: Lola Marley May has stepan right in.
Speaker 1: Well not not only worried after hearing that, no, but
Speaker 1: what I mean is is, like I so encourage. I
Speaker 1: know everyone takes photos and everyone takes videos of their kids,
Speaker 1: but I really encourage to record audio of your children
Speaker 1: because their voices changed so much and so quickly over
Speaker 1: the years, and these little nuggets of memories I think
Speaker 1: are just as special as having the video and everything else.
Speaker 1: Like I love going back and listening to them answer
Speaker 1: questions in their own weird little way, and then asking
Speaker 1: them the same types of questions a year later, and
Speaker 1: seeing like, what's their responses as they've grown and they've changed.
Speaker 7: Well, I feel like if there's anything that you can
Speaker 7: hold on to, it's the fact that your husband, Mammy
Speaker 7: Jay still says s niland say cynical.
Speaker 6: So the still mistake's been made.
Speaker 3: In your family, and I record that as well.
Speaker 6: When your kids grow up, you've always got that.
Speaker 1: It's cue to when the four year old does it
Speaker 1: as opposed to the thirty eight year old.
Speaker 7: But anyway, so today on the pick hoop, a bit
Speaker 7: of a change of pace, But we're talking about what
Speaker 7: did you celebrate prematurely?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 6: The reason we're talking about this is because I'm.
Speaker 1: Still unsure of the reason. To be perfectly honest, I stumbled.
Speaker 7: Across an article that I cannot confirm or deny if
Speaker 7: it's even real, but it.
Speaker 6: Had me in his had been hysterics.
Speaker 7: I want to think it's real just because of how
Speaker 7: funny the story is. It's gone viral over the last
Speaker 7: couple of years, like it's not brand new, but it
Speaker 7: keeps rearing its head, like every year it makes it comeback.
Speaker 6: It's made to come back now. And I was like,
Speaker 6: surely there's other people that have celebrated prematurely.
Speaker 7: There is a guy in Africa who had worked at
Speaker 7: the same job for like just say twenty years, a
Speaker 7: very long time in and out.
Speaker 6: Didn't love it, had a problem with his boss.
Speaker 3: He did not like his job.
Speaker 1: He'd been slaving away, yeah, but doing it because he
Speaker 1: had to.
Speaker 7: Well, you got it right, you gotta work the money
Speaker 7: very very luckily, like the odds were against him, but
Speaker 7: he won the lotto like a huge sum of money,
Speaker 7: so he was totally one.
Speaker 6: So he was like, oh my god, I am out
Speaker 6: of here.
Speaker 7: He goes to his boss's desk the same day, quits,
Speaker 7: pulls his.
Speaker 6: Pants down and takes a dump on his boss's desk.
Speaker 3: Have a listen No.
Speaker 2: After being told that he won the lottery jackpots, a
Speaker 2: Western Cape man peed all over the office floor of
Speaker 2: his boss of over twenty three years and proceeded to
Speaker 2: take a dump on his boss's office desk before quitting
Speaker 2: his job on Friday morning. Now, when he went to
Speaker 2: go claim his winnings this morning, he found that he
Speaker 2: had never won.
Speaker 7: My apoliticians actually the reporters laugh is the funniest part.
Speaker 6: The video is quite long.
Speaker 7: The reporter couldn't speak for like ten minutes. He was
Speaker 7: in hysterics. So he did go and find out the
Speaker 7: next day after taking said dump that he didn't in
Speaker 7: fact win, and he's now.
Speaker 6: Unemployed, Like he doesn't have a job, he doesn't have money.
Speaker 3: He doesn't have a reference either. His boss isn't gonna
Speaker 3: give him one. No, I look, can you blame him though?
Speaker 6: Like if you yes, you don't have to take a dump.
Speaker 1: But if you hated your job and you hated your
Speaker 1: boss and you'd been there for twenty three years, twenty
Speaker 1: three years.
Speaker 7: Would you take it dump and you won the when
Speaker 7: you quit the podcast in radio?
Speaker 6: Are you gonna take a dump on my desk?
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna take it dump in your desk.
Speaker 1: But I just like part of me thinks he probably
Speaker 1: had this moment of like I don't need this anymore,
Speaker 1: Like screw them, I'm leveling this up.
Speaker 3: I've given away two decades of my life. Wait my poop,
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna give you a bit of my hellhole.
Speaker 7: I probably when I when I'm trying to think of it,
Speaker 7: if I've ever like prematurely celebrated. There's no big thing
Speaker 7: that comes to mind. The only thing is that it
Speaker 7: was a bit of an internal celebration. When I was
Speaker 7: in the Bachelor finale, I thought I had it in
Speaker 7: the bag. I thought I was like, I thought that
Speaker 7: was a bit of a win. I was in a
Speaker 7: white dress, so I was the last person there. I
Speaker 7: was like, you know what, I reckon, I've snagged myself
Speaker 7: a boyfriend.
Speaker 6: Then he dumped me, so he took his own dump.
Speaker 1: That also just ca wasn't you prematurely celebrating? Like he
Speaker 1: told you that he was going to choose you the
Speaker 1: night before and then within eight hours changed his mind.
Speaker 7: Not in so many words, I don't want that headline
Speaker 7: getting out. He definitely didn't say I choose you, I
Speaker 7: cho cho choose you.
Speaker 3: What did he say then, I can't imagine life without you?
Speaker 6: Something I can't remember my quote.
Speaker 1: That is like a typical dateline, I cannot imagine life
Speaker 1: without you.
Speaker 3: Don't break up with you eight hours later. Don't take
Speaker 3: that quote either.
Speaker 7: It was just something that alluded to the fact of like,
Speaker 7: I'm so glad we that was like I'm being so purtantic,
Speaker 7: I'm so glad we met. I never thought i'd meet
Speaker 7: someone like you that we connect with so well, like
Speaker 7: something that basically alluded to, like.
Speaker 3: It's you, Bibi.
Speaker 7: Hey, we've got ever on the line. Am I Have
Speaker 7: you celebrated something prematurely?
Speaker 4: Hey?
Speaker 8: Girls, I love the show, and yes, I certainly have.
Speaker 8: So I got offered a job and I was going
Speaker 8: massive pay rise. This was going to be a six
Speaker 8: figure job and I was losing my mind of it.
Speaker 8: I got so excited and I thought, with all that
Speaker 8: money coming in, what am I going to do? I'm
Speaker 8: going to be a new woman. And some other guy
Speaker 8: who won the lottery, I was like, what am I
Speaker 8: gonna do? I've won the lottery. I want to treat
Speaker 8: my parents. I think that's on thing we always go
Speaker 8: back to. I want to do something for my parents.
Speaker 8: It's stuff for me all the time. It's the least
Speaker 8: I can do. They've never been on the cruise before,
Speaker 8: and I was like, I'm going to treat them with
Speaker 8: a little holiday away by a mcruse trip. How cool?
Speaker 4: Am my? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Nailed it.
Speaker 8: But it turns out I jumped the gun a little
Speaker 8: bit and I can actually get the job. So with
Speaker 8: a deposit down on a cruise and I've already told
Speaker 8: my parents. I really had to do the call of shame,
Speaker 8: not only to my parents and tell them they can't
Speaker 8: go on the cruise anymore. Oh what I had to
Speaker 8: call the booking company and try and get my deposit
Speaker 8: back in.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, it was terrible.
Speaker 1: Now there is an influencer, an Australian influencer who is
Speaker 1: going absolutely viral online at the moment. She's also a
Speaker 1: hairdresser and her name is Kim Happily. The reason why
Speaker 1: she's going viral is because she is only thirty seven
Speaker 1: years old. She has flown to Turkey to have a
Speaker 1: facelift and she's documented the whole process. A lot of
Speaker 1: people are accusing her of having body dysmorphia, which she rejects.
Speaker 6: Also, that's not an accusation.
Speaker 7: You don't accuse someone of having body dysmorphia, Like that's
Speaker 7: not something totally around.
Speaker 1: But I guess the thing is is like a lot
Speaker 1: of people are asking the question as to Wiger thirty
Speaker 1: seven year old, would feel such a strong need to
Speaker 1: go to another country spend thirty thousand Australian dollars to
Speaker 1: have something that is a major surgery, which is usually
Speaker 1: reserved for very significant signs of aging, seems super drastic
Speaker 1: for someone who's only thirty seven. We've spoken about it
Speaker 1: a bit, Britt, and we have like quite different opinions
Speaker 1: on this, And I really kind of read this, and
Speaker 1: I've also seen a lot of the tiktoks that she's
Speaker 1: put out documenting the process, and I guess for me,
Speaker 1: I think it errs in this really very murky space
Speaker 1: between promoting it rather than it being educational.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And the reason we disagree is because I don't
Speaker 7: find it promotion at all. I watched all of her
Speaker 7: story from go to woe. I looked at her before
Speaker 7: she went and had the surgery. I listened to why
Speaker 7: for me it doesn't come in promotion because she's not saying, Hey,
Speaker 7: look what I did. It's the best thing I ever did,
Speaker 7: It's amazing. Blah blah blah blah. She literally says the
Speaker 7: first three days were the worst days of her life.
Speaker 7: She says, she does it's so much pain. I would
Speaker 7: never recommend this to anyone, That's what she says. Fast
Speaker 7: forward a little bit to when she's recovered, she's like,
Speaker 7: would I do it again? Yes, I would because I'm
Speaker 7: so happy with how I feel now after doing it.
Speaker 7: I personally don't have a problem with plastic surgery. I
Speaker 7: have a problem with the reasons sometimes behind why when
Speaker 7: women feel the need to change who they are for
Speaker 7: someone else or society has made them feel so terrible
Speaker 7: about themselves that they're doing it not necessarily for quote
Speaker 7: unquote the right reason. But I think if someone truly
Speaker 7: believes it's going to make them happier or fix something
Speaker 7: that they have an insecurity about, if it's for the
Speaker 7: reason that's true to who they are, and it's not
Speaker 7: putting themselves out of pocket everything else that comes with it.
Speaker 7: I don't have a problem with somebody that wants to
Speaker 7: go and change something about their own body. I just
Speaker 7: maybe I'm an anomaly or the minority, but I think
Speaker 7: it's okay for someone to want to get surgery on
Speaker 7: their own body for the right reason.
Speaker 1: No, I agree with you in that situation, but I
Speaker 1: also think, like, what are the right reasons? And I
Speaker 1: guess the reason why when I saw this I had
Speaker 1: like quite a like I just found it absolutely fascinating
Speaker 1: and so unbelievable, is because I think that this like
Speaker 1: fear of aging and the expectation that we continue to
Speaker 1: look as though nothing's ever changed, we've never aged, is
Speaker 1: becoming so pressing that I think, like, thirty seven to
Speaker 1: go and get a facelift is crazily drastic, and I
Speaker 1: worry about what that means and what the world's going
Speaker 1: to be like. When my two little girls are thirty seven.
Speaker 1: Are they expected to never age? Are we expected to like,
Speaker 1: continue to look like we're in our twenties when we're
Speaker 1: in our thirties. When you're in your fifties, you've got
Speaker 1: to look like you're in your thirties. I understand when
Speaker 1: we say, like, oh, you've got to do it for
Speaker 1: the right reason, if it makes you happy. But I
Speaker 1: think the only reason why people are so unhappy with
Speaker 1: the way that they look is because society keeps telling
Speaker 1: them that they don't look right. It's a terrible thing
Speaker 1: to get old and to age and to have wrinkles
Speaker 1: and have saggy skin. And the reason why I felt
Speaker 1: very unsure about this is because yes, she documented the pain,
Speaker 1: but her now excitement about the post surgery and how
Speaker 1: great she looks.
Speaker 3: I think most people who watch that.
Speaker 1: Sort of staff ignore the three videos that are like
Speaker 1: the Three Days Hell documenting the aftercare. They just see
Speaker 1: the results and they want those results, And then I
Speaker 1: worry about what that means for young girls watching it
Speaker 1: thinking that face lists at thirty seven are normal.
Speaker 7: I agree, But when do we put the responsibility on
Speaker 7: the consumer? When do we stop blaming people for posting
Speaker 7: about their own life and blaming them for other people
Speaker 7: doing things and making choices the responsibility At the end
Speaker 7: of the day, you have to be medialliterate. You have
Speaker 7: to understand what you're consuming and why and be able
Speaker 7: to make educated decisions for yourself.
Speaker 6: And I think that's something we all need to learn.
Speaker 7: We can't be blaming people for putting content out and
Speaker 7: saying you're the reason all of these people are going
Speaker 7: to do something.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 6: I think it works both ways.
Speaker 7: Of course, influencers have responsibility absolutely, but so does the consumer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think I still you're never going to convince me
Speaker 1: that thirty seven is a good age to go and
Speaker 1: get a facelift.
Speaker 3: I'm like, what are you going to a facelift one day?
Speaker 3: What are you going to end up doing when you're fifty.
Speaker 1: I just don't think you're ever going to be satisfied
Speaker 1: or happy, like, Oh, I wonder what it is that
Speaker 1: you're chasing.
Speaker 7: Laura and I have been on a deep hunt, a
Speaker 7: Quest for the Best, you might say, to give away
Speaker 7: five thousand dollars to one of our community members, unsung heroes. Now,
Speaker 7: this is all thanks to Disney and snow White. The
Speaker 7: new Disney snow White is coming out March twenty. But
Speaker 7: we want to find those people in the community that
Speaker 7: are just doing good, spreading joy and kindness, somebody that
Speaker 7: we think five thousand dollars could really help. And to
Speaker 7: do this, people have been sending their nominations into our
Speaker 7: win page. So if you still want to nominate somebody,
Speaker 7: you can. But nothing brings me more joy, Laura, I
Speaker 7: don't know about you, but then giving away money to
Speaker 7: someone that needs it, so I'm so excited about this.
Speaker 3: Well, we've got Adam on the line.

Speaker 7: frequenting the pizza shop four times?
Speaker 3: A week because your is amazing. I'd be going there.
