Speaker 1: A good pickup with Britt Hockley and Laura Burn, baby
Speaker 1: Worth our windows d that's my world, risen the dust,
Speaker 1: only good babs all down.
Speaker 2: I don't march, but yeah.
Speaker 3: I'm not our big get and what I want it
Speaker 3: don't matter where.
Speaker 1: This is the pickup, Hi, guys, it's.
Speaker 2: The pickout with Britt Hackley and Laura Burn.
Speaker 3: How are you feeling? What are you giggling out over there?
Speaker 4: Okay, I need to get your opinion on this. I
Speaker 4: just read what I think is the funniest article.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: So there's an only Fan star who has taken out
Speaker 4: a mobile billboard in a very affluent suburb of Sydney.
Speaker 4: It's a suburb called Mossman where you know all the
Speaker 4: wealthy rich people live on the other side of the bridge,
Speaker 4: very wealthy area. Yeah, okay, So an only Fans star
Speaker 4: is taken out of mobile billboard and it says this,
Speaker 4: it's a hot photo of us selfie and it says
Speaker 4: are you rich, old and lonely? Question Mark, I'm looking
Speaker 4: for a sugar daddy, And then it has her phone
Speaker 4: number plastered across it. Now, residents of this lovely, peaceful, quiet,
Speaker 4: affluent suburb are outraged, and she says, if you're angry
Speaker 4: about it, you're probably just not as hot as me.
Speaker 3: Can you show me hang on aim a visual? It's
Speaker 3: probably pretty brilliant because they're the people that are gonna
Speaker 3: have money. Okay, she's hot, she's hot. I wonder can
Speaker 3: we get her on? I wonder she got calls?
Speaker 2: Actually, it's a great idea producer, Grace, can we try
Speaker 2: and get her on?
Speaker 3: I had be curious.
Speaker 4: She said, it's two thousand dollars away. I want a
Speaker 4: sugar daddy. I don't want to find one for myself.
Speaker 4: I'm overworking. So I spent two thousand dollars of my
Speaker 4: own money to send a billboard around the richest suburb
Speaker 4: of Australia so I can find myself for sugar daddy.
Speaker 4: So if you're reach, you're old, and you're lonely, give
Speaker 4: me a call. People are saying it's distasteful, it's inappropriate.
Speaker 3: Eye, it's advertising, it's a business.
Speaker 2: I think she's an entrepreneur.
Speaker 3: She is brilliant. There's also we could probably tell some
Speaker 3: other suburbs that might work in.
Speaker 4: I mean, like, look, I understand why some people might
Speaker 4: be up.
Speaker 2: In arms about it.
Speaker 4: I feel like it seems like it's distasteful.
Speaker 2: I can understand why.
Speaker 4: There's probably some more conservative types that don't like it,
Speaker 4: but I can't.
Speaker 3: They're probably worried because they worried their partner's gonna call.
Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's so funny.
Speaker 3: Also, the photo, she's fully clothed, it's not new or inappropriate.
Speaker 3: It's just a nice photo.
Speaker 1: Ah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's just wearing a T shirt and she's got
Speaker 4: a midri found she's wearing shorts you would wear less
Speaker 4: to the beach.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Amen, let's get her on track it down, Grace.
Speaker 4: It is time for what we do every Thursday, and
Speaker 4: that is ask Guncut.
Speaker 2: Where you guys give us a call.
Speaker 4: And you tell us you're deep as dark as problems,
Speaker 4: and even though we have absolutely no qualifications or skills, necessarily,
Speaker 4: we do our best to answer them and give the
Speaker 4: life advice to save you a bit of money.
Speaker 3: We actually have qualifications.
Speaker 4: You say that every week, Well, we do this on
Speaker 4: our podcast, Life Uncut podcast, and that's been going pretty
Speaker 4: good for us specific s. So we thought we bring
Speaker 4: across and we got Alisha on the phone.
Speaker 3: Hi, Alisha, Hi, guys, Alisha, what is going on in
Speaker 3: your house.
Speaker 5: My partner doesn't really like having my dog in our bed.
Speaker 4: How long have you been with your partner for? And
Speaker 4: is this a new problem or is it the problem
Speaker 4: that's always existed.
Speaker 5: Well, we're reaching like a three year mark. It's been
Speaker 5: two and a half years. This is actually a new thing.
Speaker 5: We only moved in maybe like a year ago. So,
Speaker 5: but it's just happened, and I'm kind of freaking out
Speaker 5: about it because like, whoa where did this come from?
Speaker 3: So like I've cheated? Hang on, where does this come from?
Speaker 3: So a few questions? Hang on, we need to set
Speaker 3: the scene. Are we talking Chihaua or Great Dane?
Speaker 5: No, it's the brutles. So he's a little big.
Speaker 3: Oh, goodles are big, okay?
Speaker 2: And I don't even know what a goodle is. It's
Speaker 2: a goodle.
Speaker 3: They're big.
Speaker 6: They're very big Golden retriever poodles. Sorry, sorry, I just
Speaker 6: did a quick google. There's three sizes, Miniature, medium and standard.
Speaker 6: Miniature is fifteen kilos, twenty two kilos or thirty kilos.
Speaker 3: Fifteen kilo has been the smallest.
Speaker 2: That's still big.
Speaker 3: It is a standard, okay, right, so twenty two kilos
Speaker 3: so important question. Was the groodle a part of your
Speaker 3: life before you met your partner or did you bring
Speaker 3: it in to your life together as a couple.
Speaker 5: Well, he's my dog, so I've had him for five
Speaker 5: years and he's just kind of getting on a bit.
Speaker 4: I mean, the the grudle has slept in your bed
Speaker 4: for five years, and now your partner's decided that it's
Speaker 4: just too much and the dog needs to go and
Speaker 4: sleep in a dog bed.
Speaker 3: I understand that, to be sure.
Speaker 4: Do you know I had a very similar situation, So
Speaker 4: I have My dog is much bigger than this. He's
Speaker 4: forty kilos and he used to sleep in bed with
Speaker 4: me every single night. And then I met my husband,
Speaker 4: and then also my husband would start sleeping in bed
Speaker 4: with us. And at one point we've been together for
Speaker 4: about eight months, Matt woke up in the middle of
Speaker 4: the night and he said, I've had enough. He's like,
Speaker 4: I can't do this anymore. And this is the first
Speaker 4: time we'd ever had a conversation about it.
Speaker 2: He was like, it's me or the dog. The dog
Speaker 2: has to sleep in a dog bed.
Speaker 4: I can't sleep with a dog in the bed anymore.
Speaker 4: And unfortunately for Buster, the ultimatum did stick and Matt
Speaker 4: got to stay in the bed, even though I threatened
Speaker 4: to put him in the dog bed, and Busters now
Speaker 4: in a dog bed next to Can you not get
Speaker 4: a dogbed next to the bed? I feel like that's
Speaker 4: a good solution, so that the grudle is still in
Speaker 4: the room.
Speaker 2: But it's not in your you know, your room in
Speaker 2: your grudle.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yes, so I guess it just feels funny because
Speaker 5: he moved into like my house. Yeah, but.
Speaker 3: Unless the bed is like one of those extra king beds,
Speaker 3: that's really really big. I understand because sleep is very
Speaker 3: important if you're getting broken sleep because you have a
Speaker 3: giant grudle licking you, moving around making noise. Griddles don't molt.
Speaker 3: But if there was another dog that like molten hair
Speaker 3: was all through it, like for me, that's pretty gross.
Speaker 3: I think you need to move the groodle to the ground.
Speaker 3: It can still be close to you. You can keep
Speaker 3: your eye on it, but you can maintain your relationships.
Speaker 4: Where does the girdle go when you guys are being
Speaker 4: intimate with each other, just looks at them.
Speaker 5: He can go where he likes, God, you know, wherever
Speaker 5: he sits. He sits.
Speaker 2: Okay, look, the grudle needs to go on a dog bed.
Speaker 3: I don't think. Yeah, I don't think it's worth it,
Speaker 3: the divorce or the split. I think moves to the bed.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 4: I get why this is hard, but I reckon for
Speaker 4: the sake of your relationship, it's time to pop. You know,
Speaker 4: the pooch in the dog bed right next to the bed.
Speaker 4: He's very close. He's not going to feel too like
Speaker 4: he's being shafted. I think that that's your best solution.
Speaker 3: Okay, thanks for galling.
Speaker 2: If you want.
Speaker 4: If you want some advice like that, and also feel defeated,
Speaker 4: give us a call at the pickup.
Speaker 3: That was a great call, Laura. Do you think when
Speaker 3: you're dating someone these days you have to officially ask someone, Hey,
Speaker 3: will you be my boyfriend? Will you be my girlfriend?
Speaker 4: I don't know if I'm the right person to ask. True,
Speaker 4: I guess that that did happen to me. If anyone
Speaker 4: who doesn't know competed for my now husband on a
Speaker 4: TV show called The Bachelor, and the word compete, well
Speaker 4: I did. I was in competition. I was Yeah, it
Speaker 4: was me and twenty four other girls. And then at
Speaker 4: the very end of that, he stood on a magic
Speaker 4: carpet in Thailand and said Aladdin, he said, I love you,
Speaker 4: and I guess implied would.
Speaker 2: You be my girlfriend?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Okay, definitely ask the wrong person the wrong question.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I look, if I'm going to be honest,
Speaker 4: I think sometimes it has to be asked because like
Speaker 4: the situationship has gone on for too long, But sometimes
Speaker 4: it's just implied.
Speaker 3: Well, also, Matt did have to ask you. There were
Speaker 3: twenty four other women. So there's a reality TV star
Speaker 3: from the UK from Love Island going viral at the
Speaker 3: moment for asking his now girlfriend to be his girlfriend.
Speaker 3: So she was also on Love Island. Her name is
Speaker 3: Grace Jackson. And the reason it's going viral. I wish
Speaker 3: I had more audio, but I've only got a grab.
Speaker 3: But there's all these videos that have gone up of
Speaker 3: him asking her to take it from like friends with
Speaker 3: benefits or something casual to a relationship. Now I want
Speaker 3: to show you the photos. Firstly, it's this humongous, elaborate
Speaker 3: setup on a beautiful beach. It's very private. There's like
Speaker 3: beautiful flowers, like thousands of dollars worth of flowers. There's candles,
Speaker 3: the seats the setups, there's a neon sign in the
Speaker 3: middle that's hung between them.
Speaker 2: It just looks like it's a proposal.
Speaker 3: It's a proposal. It's more than a proposal, and the
Speaker 3: neon sign in the middle says, will you be my girlfriend? Now?
Speaker 3: In case they wanted to know what she said, hang on,
Speaker 3: I've got the audio.
Speaker 2: What did you say? The question said, yes.
Speaker 3: A lot of people, a lot of people are really
Speaker 3: ringing out at how over the top this proposal for
Speaker 3: a girlfriend was. But the reason is a little bit
Speaker 3: deeper than that. So whilst it is like so extreme,
Speaker 3: he's been slammed because he did the same thing for
Speaker 3: his last girlfriend two years ago.
Speaker 4: Okay, my question is were they on the show together?
Speaker 4: Like do they know each other from so they were
Speaker 4: already dating and he's obviously an influencer, like he's got
Speaker 4: a big following, yes, and so does she. Yeah, well
Speaker 4: then he's just doing it for the content. He's not
Speaker 4: doing it to ask at let's.
Speaker 3: Not say that he might really, I'm sure wanted to do.
Speaker 2: I've got no.
Speaker 4: Doubt that he wants her to be his girlfriend. But
Speaker 4: the over the topness and the filming it and they're
Speaker 4: like creating like esthetic content is for all the people
Speaker 4: on Instagram, it's not for her.
Speaker 3: Well, it's definitely happened because it's gone viral, Like what
Speaker 3: if that's what he wanted, that's what he got because
Speaker 3: we're in Australia on a radio show now absolutely talking
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 2: Do you want to go viral for the right reasons
Speaker 2: or the wrong reasons?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 3: Not the wrong For me. I love love. I don't
Speaker 3: want a shit on it because I'm like, cute, you
Speaker 3: guys are twenty five years old. Well, actually she's twenty seven.
Speaker 3: She's a bit older. He's twenty five. You're young, you're
Speaker 3: in love. I love that for you. But for me,
Speaker 3: I'm like cringing in my skin a little bit. How
Speaker 3: over the top it is. And it makes me think
Speaker 3: that sometimes I think the more over the top something
Speaker 3: is the less meaningful it is in a way, I
Speaker 3: don't know. Is that a weird connection.
Speaker 4: I've just looked this up because so what you said
Speaker 4: before that he had done a similar thing for his
Speaker 4: ex girlfriend. He'd put together like this very big extravagant
Speaker 4: red roses, red balloons and done the same thing. I
Speaker 4: reckon he just knows it gets good clicks and that's
Speaker 4: all it is.
Speaker 3: It gets a little bit worse again. God well, because
Speaker 3: he's been on Love Island twice. Right, this was like
Speaker 3: an All Stars the first proposal for the girlfriend. She
Speaker 3: was also from the show. It was also a Love
Speaker 3: Island proposal.
Speaker 4: Do anything that is just for the person that's in
Speaker 4: your life, Like, why is everything so extravagant and so
Speaker 4: much for content? I think sometimes these moments, like asking
Speaker 4: someone to be your girlfriend or asking someone to be
Speaker 4: a boyfriend, it's a pretty preliminary step in the relationship, right,
Speaker 4: Like it's literally.
Speaker 2: The first step.
Speaker 4: I understand why people do like grandiose proposals. I understand
Speaker 4: why people have beautiful, big weddings, but this to me
Speaker 4: feels a bit premature.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think about my conversation with my field
Speaker 3: and say, there definitely wasn't the word girlfriend boyfriend, But
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure we went about it by saying are
Speaker 3: we exclusive or do you want to be exclusive? But
Speaker 3: to me, that feels like more of an adult way
Speaker 3: of asking somebody if they will be your boyfriend and girlfriend.
Speaker 3: For me, this feels very like sixteen ish.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree.
Speaker 4: Also, what do you do because if you're in this
Speaker 4: situation and someone's created no, yeah, that's I mean, the
Speaker 4: more extravagant the proposal is, and I say this more
Speaker 4: about like a wedding, but like an engagement proposal or
Speaker 4: will you be my boyfriend proposal, whatever it is, the
Speaker 4: more extravagant it is, the harder it is to say.
Speaker 2: No in the moment.
Speaker 4: I think most people say yes because they feel pressured too,
Speaker 4: because they're being filmed. And then afterwards, you know, in
Speaker 4: a month or two times they go, I've been thinking
Speaker 4: about that time that you put me on the freaking
Speaker 4: spot with your proposal.
Speaker 3: It would have gone better for him. Trust me, as
Speaker 3: someone that was dumped on The Bachelor, it would have
Speaker 3: gone better for him if she said no, like all
Speaker 3: of a sudden. People wouldn't have thought it was cringy.
Speaker 3: People would have been like, oh my god, like I
Speaker 3: will date you, this is You're a catch, this is amazing,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. It's because they're happy and
Speaker 3: in love and successful and young and hot.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I also like, I'm very much of the opinion that
Speaker 4: people who flaunt, like really overly flaunt their relationships are
Speaker 4: not necessarily the people who are having the best relationships.
Speaker 3: I go pretty hard when I'm with my fiancee band like,
Speaker 3: but it's like really big, that was.
Speaker 2: An appointed thing.
Speaker 3: Dagger's in the eyes.
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see your wedding. It's gonna be
Speaker 2: super low key.
Speaker 3: Right, you'ren't invite it anymore.
Speaker 2: I have a very big question for you.
Speaker 4: Is it okay to wave speak to say hello to
Speaker 4: somebody else's kid if that kid is like making eye
Speaker 4: contact with you and trying to wave like a.
Speaker 2: Baby, like a baby toddler.
Speaker 4: You know, you see like a kid in a pram
Speaker 4: and they'll be trying to like, you know, wave, or
Speaker 4: they're interacting with others as they go past.
Speaker 2: Is it okay to interact with the child that you
Speaker 2: don't know?
Speaker 3: I just feel like this is the dumbest question you've
Speaker 3: ever asked me. Absolutely well, it has to.
Speaker 2: Have some limitations on it.
Speaker 4: It can't just be like, yes, you could interact with
Speaker 4: any child you want anytime.
Speaker 3: No, but if a baby waves that you, yeah, you
Speaker 3: can wave back. If a baby's like google and gagaing
Speaker 3: at you, like on a plane across the seats, like
Speaker 3: it's rude not to.
Speaker 4: Engage, Okay, well, look, there is a thread that is
Speaker 4: currently going viral from Breddit and it's the you know,
Speaker 4: am I the asshole? It's very very popular, but there
Speaker 4: is this one question that to me stood out. So
Speaker 4: a twenty seven year old posted that she was walking
Speaker 4: past a car and there was a little toddler sitting
Speaker 4: in the boot of the car while the parents were
Speaker 4: unloading some other groceries and stuff. She wrote, I could
Speaker 4: see the kid was clearly staring at me like kids do,
Speaker 4: so when I was close enough, I smiled and waved.
Speaker 4: I also stopped for a second and said hi, but
Speaker 4: then kept on walking. The next thing I know, the
Speaker 4: mom and dad are flagging me down to say, hey,
Speaker 4: don't ever do that again.
Speaker 2: The woman tried to.
Speaker 4: Rationalize with them, you know, she's like, I said something like, hey,
Speaker 4: I didn't mean anything by it. I kept on walking,
Speaker 4: but I heard some very choice words come out of
Speaker 4: the mother's mouth. And then she's asking the question because
Speaker 4: she's like, well, it got me really nervous. Maybe I
Speaker 4: crossed the line. You know, I can fully understand parents
Speaker 4: being protected by their kids, but it's not as though
Speaker 4: I sprinted across the road to engage with this toddler.
Speaker 4: I just kind of stopped at the boot and said hi,
Speaker 4: and then kept going.
Speaker 3: This makes me think that either A this is made up,
Speaker 3: or B that that family has had something happen with
Speaker 3: their child, because that is not normal for that reaction
Speaker 3: for someone, just like waving at a toddler and saying
Speaker 3: hi is not a normal reaction to the situation. So
Speaker 3: it makes me wonder if maybe they've I don't know,
Speaker 3: they've had something that scared them in the past or
Speaker 3: I'm not sure, but absolutely in my eyes, if you're
Speaker 3: walking down the street and there's a little baby in
Speaker 3: someone's arms and it's looking at you over it's mum's
Speaker 3: shoulder and you can wave at it.
Speaker 4: I agree, I do think you can wave like that's
Speaker 4: not I don't need that issue with waving and saying hello.
Speaker 4: But I absolutely think that sometimes strangers cross the line
Speaker 4: with what isn't isn't appropriate engagement with kids?
Speaker 3: Well, if she picked it up, well.
Speaker 2: That's totally well.
Speaker 4: Like I mean, I have one example that's of my own,
Speaker 4: only happened recently. We were away only a couple weeks ago,
Speaker 4: and we were waiting in line somewhere and the man
Speaker 4: who was waiting in line kept on patting Maley on
Speaker 4: the head, and she was just behind me. I was
Speaker 4: standing in front, and like, I'm sure he was fine.
Speaker 4: I'm sure he was seemingly lovely. I'm sure he was
Speaker 4: just being like sweet and engaging, but he had been
Speaker 4: like making faces at her, and so then she was
Speaker 4: obviously entertained by him as well, and I was like, nah,
Speaker 4: I don't like that, Like that's you don't have a
Speaker 4: right just to touch my kids just because you've been
Speaker 4: making faces with them. So like for me, I kind
Speaker 4: of like moved her out of the way in a
Speaker 4: polite way.
Speaker 3: You didn't say that.
Speaker 2: I didn't say anything to him.
Speaker 4: But I do think that sometimes some people take things
Speaker 4: and take a little bit too many liberties because they
Speaker 4: think that like, oh, they.
Speaker 2: Just you know, it's done harmlessly.
Speaker 4: I know that, but it's not always harmless, and so
Speaker 4: as parents, you've got to be careful.
Speaker 3: I do think there are some rules, and I think
Speaker 3: you're normal and okay to have been put off by
Speaker 3: a strange man adding Maley on the head, like I'm
Speaker 3: sure it was innocent, but I think that is okay.
Speaker 3: But I think chasing someone down the street like chasing
Speaker 3: this girl down the street because she waved at your
Speaker 3: toddler is extreme. Yeah, yeah, like that reaction doesn't fit
Speaker 3: the situation.
Speaker 4: Which is exactly what you said, Britt. It makes me
Speaker 4: think that potentially something else has happened to that family,
Speaker 4: or there's been a situation that's made them feel uncomfortable
Speaker 4: and they're now on high alert.
Speaker 3: I have like full on sit down sessions with kids
Speaker 3: on planes. If there's a kid in front of me
Speaker 3: and it's turning around, BRIT's like.
Speaker 2: What's your askun cut for the week, kiddo?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm like talking to me, what are your problems?
Speaker 3: Do what they want to take you, dummy? I understand.
Speaker 3: But like if a kid puts its head through you know,
Speaker 3: when they put it through the seats in front of him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's different.
Speaker 3: But is it? Why is that different? It is exactly
Speaker 3: the same thing. You're talking to them, you're engaging with them.
Speaker 3: You don't know them, they're strange. In fact, you're probably
Speaker 3: more close for a longer period of time.
Speaker 2: It's true, It's true. I don't know.
Speaker 4: I also think, like different people, you have to be
Speaker 4: more wary of than others. Like I think I would
Speaker 4: be more okay with a twenty seven year old female
Speaker 4: saying hi to Marley and patting her on the head
Speaker 4: then what I would be with an older man. And
Speaker 4: that's not me saying that every single older man whoever's
Speaker 4: going to say hello is someone that I need to
Speaker 4: be careful of.
Speaker 2: But it's just we've been conditioned.
Speaker 4: To know that you have to be careful, and so like,
Speaker 4: that's exactly what I'll do to take care of my kids.
Speaker 4: I'd rather offend a stranger and to take care of
Speaker 4: my children than to plicate to a stranger and you know,
Speaker 4: potentially put my kids in a situation that's not entirely safe.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I found this an interesting one because I do think
Speaker 4: that maybe this is very overbearing, but it does bring
Speaker 4: into question like where's the line when engaging with kids
Speaker 4: that you just don't know?
Speaker 3: And I think it's different for everyone, which is a problem.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it definitely is. Well, guys, that's it from us today.
