Speaker 1: to stop the world.
Speaker 3: Tonight is the Women's.
Speaker 1: World Cup football slash soccer, and our very own Matildas
Speaker 1: are playing.
Speaker 3: They're playing against Ireland.
Speaker 2: Amazing.
Speaker 1: It's absolutely huge and they're the biggest crowds these now
Speaker 1: for women. I'm so excited for it because women in
Speaker 1: sport have taken a little while to get, you know,
Speaker 1: to the level of men.
Speaker 3: But these are sellout crowds like these.
Speaker 1: Are pumped up people that are going to be there
Speaker 1: cheering our very own I tried to get tickets and couldn't.
Speaker 2: Also trust this little soccer fanatic over here to be
Speaker 2: all excited about it going on tonight.
Speaker 1: We can I know the rules properly yet, but I'm
Speaker 1: working on No. I'm really excited for them. I think
Speaker 1: it's amazing for women's sport and amazing for our very
Speaker 1: own matildas well.
Speaker 2: We have a pretty big question for Ask and Cut today.
Speaker 2: We have a caller whose parna is currently still married,
Speaker 2: and I want to know would you be okay with that?
Speaker 2: Is there a circumstance where maybe you might yeah, to
Speaker 2: let that slide.
Speaker 4: Is the ring still on the finger light? You have
Speaker 4: to double stat still live together?
Speaker 3: Is it fair?
Speaker 2: It's not a polyamorous relationship. We just have to wait
Speaker 2: and see what.
Speaker 4: All right, that's coming up. Plus, if you want to
Speaker 4: go to Taylor Swift, she's coming down under, like imagine
Speaker 4: Taylor Swift live like you're get a bit of like,
Speaker 4: oh imagine that.
Speaker 1: Ah, Taylor Swift so hard.
Speaker 2: I've spent so long trying to get tickets. It was
Speaker 2: demoralizing so.
Speaker 4: Many people did that was that's why we're doing this.
Speaker 4: We've got a whole row. We've reserved a full row
Speaker 4: of tickets for you and your friends at Taylor's Air
Speaker 4: is the tour?
Speaker 3: I us to just go.
Speaker 4: No, we got tickets and we've got connections.

Speaker 2: I think we've got them to give away.

Speaker 4: at a full row of Taylor tickets coming up as
Speaker 4: we start to pick up around the country thanks to
Speaker 4: chemists warehouse heading today great savings every day. All right,
Speaker 4: it is Thursday. Back here with the pickup it's brit

Speaker 1: Ask our cat it's time for therapy Thursday. Ask Uncut,
Speaker 1: something we do on our podcast Life on Cut every
Speaker 1: single week where you guys write in or call up
Speaker 1: with your deepest, darkest burning questions.
Speaker 3: We've got one today. It's a pretty good one. It's
Speaker 3: Michelle Michelle.
Speaker 4: Hi.
Speaker 3: Hi, Hi, guys, Hi Michelle, Hi, What is the problem?
Speaker 5: Look? I have been with my man for around four
Speaker 5: years now. He isn't divorced. We've got kids that we
Speaker 5: share like you know, that live with us. We've got
Speaker 5: a great living environment and all that sort of jazz.
Speaker 5: But he won't get divorced. It's been over four years.
Speaker 5: He's really close with his ex, which makes me a
Speaker 5: little bit nervous, you know, the gut feeling that us
Speaker 5: girls get. Every time I ask him when you're going
Speaker 5: to get divorced? He comes up with a silly excuse.
Speaker 5: It's either I haven't got time or the cost.
Speaker 4: I think it just keeps on putting it off.
Speaker 2: To be fair, if you're someone who's very bad with
Speaker 2: admint or paperwork, it's something that like I can't be.
Speaker 3: As been married for twenty five years.
Speaker 2: I've been married since November. I can't be bothered to
Speaker 2: change my name, got to go to birthday and marriages.
Speaker 3: It's just too hard now.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry. It's all on an app these days, Like
Speaker 4: I just changed my address, took me two seconds.
Speaker 2: Do you think do you think it is it comes
Speaker 2: from him not wanting to do the admin side of it,
Speaker 2: or do you think that he still potentially holds a flame.
Speaker 5: Oh, she hasn't moved on as such, and apparently she
Speaker 5: did cheat on him, but I don't really know the
Speaker 5: full details, all that sort of jazz. But it's just
Speaker 5: I don't know. I don't know if that you know
Speaker 5: in my gut that feeling is like, oh, I think
Speaker 5: I think it's time for me to give him an automatum.
Speaker 4: You got to listen to that feeling. If you've got
Speaker 4: that feeling, it's not going to go away. That feeling
Speaker 4: doesn't disappear without a conversation.
Speaker 1: Well, my worry is that feeling doesn't disappear with a
Speaker 1: divorce either, like you could get him to sign his
Speaker 1: LifeWay and divorce. But if they still have feelings for
Speaker 1: each other, those feelings are still going to be there
Speaker 1: whether they're technically married or not.
Speaker 4: Do they talk still, Michelle? Are they still chatting?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Well, they've got kids together, so of course they chat.
Speaker 5: They've got a good relationship with that. But they are
Speaker 5: grown up kids.
Speaker 2: And you're living together.
Speaker 5: Did you say, yes, we are living together. We've been
Speaker 5: living together a few years now.
Speaker 2: Has he given you any indication as to when the
Speaker 2: two of you might get engaged and get married?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 4: Oh, Michelle, sorry, like you sound so sweet. He needs
Speaker 4: to commit to you or he needs to commit to
Speaker 4: the cheating X And you can't just live a life
Speaker 4: waiting for him to decide if he wants you. If
Speaker 4: it means something to you, it should mean something to him.
Speaker 4: I'm firm on that.
Speaker 2: If they're in a good place now in their friendship,
Speaker 2: he probably doesn't want to have to go down the hole,
Speaker 2: like you know, sitting down and having the divorce conversation again,
Speaker 2: even though they are separate and divorced. But I think maybe,
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe an ultimatum might mean that he
Speaker 2: has to make some big decisions. You need to get
Speaker 2: a divorce or we need to decide what we're doing
Speaker 2: with our relationship.
Speaker 4: Does Michelle, does he know how much it means to
Speaker 4: you that that that he hasn't got divorced yet.
Speaker 5: Well, I do have like a semi what a vision
Speaker 5: board of what my wedding should be like.
Speaker 6: So I.
Speaker 4: Kitchen splashback is made of cork, and there's photos of us.
Speaker 2: There's a shared pinterest. Michelle packages around said the scenes
Speaker 2: in a rat bag.
Speaker 4: Sorry, he needs to divorce her now?
Speaker 5: Oh no, And you know when you're saying about the
Speaker 5: admin thing, he's up to date with his taxes, so
Speaker 5: I know that he's fine with admin.
Speaker 2: You know, I think you know it's ultimatum time the tomato.
Speaker 4: All right, Michelle, it's tough. It's a big thing to do,
Speaker 4: but you.
Speaker 3: Deserve of your wedding.
Speaker 1: But do it live on the rail that interest, get
Speaker 1: married on radio?
Speaker 2: Keep us up data, Okay, all right, we'll do thank you,
Speaker 2: thank You show.
Speaker 4: They're always the hardest ones, aren't the When they're such
Speaker 4: a sweetheart and you want the best like I want
Speaker 4: the best.
Speaker 3: She was so nice.
Speaker 2: My mom was married for a really long time. Obviously
Speaker 2: got divorced from my stepdad. Separated, but they were still
Speaker 2: married for like ten years before they actually got divorced,
Speaker 2: just never spoke.
Speaker 4: To each other. Did your mom have a new partner.
Speaker 2: She had a new partner. The only reason why they
Speaker 2: got divorced was because he wanted to get remarried. But
Speaker 2: they just were separated and never spoke to which.
Speaker 3: I guess that's the whole point, right, She wants to
Speaker 3: get married and she because he won't do it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: amazing as an excuse.
Speaker 4: This is like Boons and Boons and one of those novels,
Speaker 4: the sex novels. That's what it sounds like your life,
Speaker 4: Laura fifty. You've got a question that you need our

Speaker 4: We can all agree and let's all say at the
Speaker 4: same time.
Speaker 3: Sonny, small talk.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, small talk were all having. We all have
Speaker 2: to do it at different times. No one's particularly good
Speaker 2: at it, and everybody hates it.
Speaker 4: To be honest, a bunch of radio announces you think
Speaker 4: I'm pretty I excel with small talk.
Speaker 2: I'm great at small time. Yeah, but no one likes
Speaker 2: doing it. No one would put down on their resime excellent.
Speaker 2: Making small talk.
Speaker 4: Kind of gets me going. I really enjoy small.
Speaker 3: Talk, you guys, and both it's because she talks so much.
Speaker 2: Continue Laura, Okay, So I had and I look, I
Speaker 2: can do it. Do I love it? Do I thrive
Speaker 2: in the environment of small talk? Probably not? But I
Speaker 2: had possibly the world's most awkward small talk.
Speaker 4: Where was it?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 2: How did my girlfriend's Hen's part on the weekend? And
Speaker 2: part of that Hen's party was we had a stripper
Speaker 2: in a very very small, little two by one room.
Speaker 2: We were doing karaoke.
Speaker 3: What are you doing with a stripper in a two
Speaker 3: by one?
Speaker 2: So we were in doing we were doing karaoke in
Speaker 2: a phone booth in a tiny room, toilet cubicle karaoke.
Speaker 2: The music goes off in he walks with the speaker,
Speaker 2: and he's quite a good looking young Brazilian man, like
Speaker 2: this is probably the most attractive striper I've ever seen.
Speaker 2: And then he starts doing his thing and gets down
Speaker 2: to nothing as they do, but I mean like nothing.
Speaker 3: Oh she was shocked. The stripper stripped right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but no one prepares you for what happens next.
Speaker 2: You kind of expect the stripping part, but no one
Speaker 2: expects for when he's finished, he turns the music off. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're all sitting there in a quiet karaoke room and
Speaker 2: he has to just get dressed, so he's to leave.
Speaker 4: To leave. Oh, you've all just like groped him and laughed.
Speaker 2: Everyone's laughed. It's all been high energy. And then he
Speaker 2: asks for his money, so you hand him cash and
Speaker 2: then he he's then transfer bro putting his socks on,
Speaker 2: and then he gats to get another singlet because he's
Speaker 2: ripped his singlet in half and then you have to
Speaker 2: sit there and make small talk with the guy. And
Speaker 2: I was like, Hi, so, how long have you been
Speaker 2: in Australia for? Do you buy your singlets in bulk packs?
Speaker 5: Oh? My god?
Speaker 3: You're like, so what else do you do with your time?
Speaker 2: I was like, what do you do when you're not
Speaker 2: stripping on a Saturday night? He was like, I'm a carpenter.
Speaker 2: Oh we had naked.
Speaker 4: For you're getting the bus home. You'll be cold. Just
Speaker 4: that g string, just.
Speaker 3: That little piece of floss, now do?
Speaker 2: I said to I said, does your mother know that
Speaker 2: you're stripping?
Speaker 6: Did you?
Speaker 5: Then?
Speaker 2: I realized as I was saying yeah, because he was like,
Speaker 2: I'm from Brazil. You know, my parents don't know.
Speaker 3: Why did you ask him though?
Speaker 1: Because I was like, she's parents don't know, doesn't matter,
Speaker 1: she's small talk panicked thirteen.
Speaker 4: Can you top this small talk? This is Laurie. You
Speaker 4: made it just just like say thanks for your service, and.
Speaker 2: Then sitting there in silence while he puts his clothes
Speaker 2: on makes it seems so dirty.
Speaker 3: I don't know about that. Does your mom know you
Speaker 3: do this?
Speaker 4: Just same?
Speaker 2: No, I wasn't shaming him. I was just I was
Speaker 2: making small talk, and I was trying to establish that
Speaker 2: I was a mum because I didn't want him to
Speaker 2: get the wrong idea. And I was like, I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: you know I have kids, and I was like, but
Speaker 2: they're not traveling yet.
Speaker 4: It was horrible. Oh my god. My dad, Steph is
Speaker 4: called on thirteen sixty five. He Steph, what happened with
Speaker 4: your awkward small talk?
Speaker 6: Oh, it's just I just find it so awkward every
Speaker 6: time I'm getting laser done.
Speaker 5: The legs are.
Speaker 6: Fine when you're doing your underarmed fine, but as soon
Speaker 6: as you get to the Brazilian it just gets awkward.
Speaker 6: And you're like, so the weather's some good today, isn't
Speaker 6: it always so awkward?
Speaker 4: Bianca? Hello, what happened with your awkward small talk? Was
Speaker 4: it bad? Bianca?
Speaker 6: So?
Speaker 7: I was walking along, I needed to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 7: Struck up a conversation with a lady and she walked
Speaker 7: into the bathroom with me, and she just kept going
Speaker 7: and I needed to go to the actual bath room.
Speaker 3: We can read between the lines, yeap.
Speaker 7: I just needed to focus and do my saying, and
Speaker 7: she just kept going and I was like, bathroom medicate, lady,
Speaker 7: come on.
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to do that. Hey, like, why would you
Speaker 1: talk when people? I guess it's to cover the sounds, right.
Speaker 2: But nobody wants to have a chat while they're doing
Speaker 2: a poop to a stranger.
Speaker 4: Oh god, no, that's that is mortified.
Speaker 1: I could do it easily, but I am a professional
Speaker 1: at small talk, and I can multitask.
Speaker 4: Sometimes I just I open TikTok really loud and then
Speaker 4: play play play some videos so that no one can
Speaker 4: hear the PLoP.
Speaker 2: No, because that's even weirder. There's nothing weirder than hearing
Speaker 2: someone listening to things on their phone.
Speaker 1: A public toilet, it's better to be if there's three
Speaker 1: cubicles and there's people doing poops, it's better to have some.
Speaker 3: Background music playing the dead silence.
Speaker 2: And just just because you're good at small talk doesn't
Speaker 2: mean that there's areas or places that it should be done.
Speaker 4: One of them is in the toilet, all right. Next,
Speaker 4: big changes coming to the Bachelor format. You guys know
Speaker 4: and love the Bachelor, the TV show.
Speaker 2: Thet's trying everything.
Speaker 4: Well, oh they got a Bachelor and he got osteoporosis.
Speaker 4: That's all I'm I'm going to say. We'll unpack the
Speaker 4: casting of the new bach Tol the next on the Pickup,
Speaker 4: He's the Pickup first day afternoon Britt, Laura and Mitch
Speaker 4: here are thanks to Chemist Warehouse heading today get half
Speaker 4: priced off the Bio Gland Vitamins range. It excludes bog sizes.
Speaker 4: Chemists Warehouse, Great savings every.
Speaker 3: Day, guys.
Speaker 1: There is huge news in the Bachelor world. And when
Speaker 1: I say the Bachelor world, I mean the TV show
Speaker 1: The Bachelor.
Speaker 3: Laura, you feel of your life. I got dumped on
Speaker 3: National TV. We've all been there.
Speaker 4: I've watched it.
Speaker 2: I'm familiar with the format.
Speaker 1: Yes, well, they've been trying a lot of things over
Speaker 1: the years, you know, mixing it up a little bit.
Speaker 1: There is a brand new format that I reckon is
Speaker 1: the golden ticket to The Bachelor, because.
Speaker 4: Let's be real, the ratings on that show they haven't
Speaker 4: been incredible recently.
Speaker 2: I think it still does reasonably well overseas, but within
Speaker 2: Australia it's been struggling.
Speaker 3: Oh last year.
Speaker 1: Well in America on the ABC, they've just announced a
Speaker 1: brand new Bachelor and they have called him the Golden Bachelor.
Speaker 1: The reason he's called the Golden Bachelor is because it's
Speaker 1: for people in their sunset years of life. It is
Speaker 1: for the older people to go and find love again.
Speaker 1: Now they've announced Grandpa, I love Jerry Turner, who is
Speaker 1: seventy one years old.
Speaker 4: Such a grand partner.
Speaker 3: Can show him. He's actually so handsome looking.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, he's got hearing it.
Speaker 3: He's seventy one.
Speaker 1: He married his high school sweetheart and she passed away
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, so they were married for forty three years.
Speaker 1: So you know, he's a bloody good man. You know,
Speaker 1: he loves relationships. You know, he's loving and caring. He's
Speaker 1: very handsome. Probably spent a little bit too much time
Speaker 1: in the solarium, but apart from that, yeah, everything is
Speaker 1: channeling Donald Trumpy vibe.
Speaker 2: But he's h it's just golden. I think it's the
Speaker 2: filter they've put over him. Although I would like to
Speaker 2: say that if I look like this at seventy one
Speaker 2: years old, like literally, if I look exactly like him
Speaker 2: at seventy one, I'm doing well.
Speaker 4: I'd be sold.
Speaker 3: Okay, we'll have a listen to this.
Speaker 7: He doesn't have great he has wisdom highlights.
Speaker 3: Florida wants to.
Speaker 2: Retire and move to him.
Speaker 4: He's Gary and I'm your first Golden Bachelor.
Speaker 2: And Gary just shuffles out with his zimmer frame, bless him.
Speaker 3: And he's fitting young on your.
Speaker 4: Next And I just pulled my shoelf and I need
Speaker 4: to be cleaned up. Please.
Speaker 1: No, guys, he's got two daughters and two granddaughters and
Speaker 1: he wants to fall in love again after morning.
Speaker 4: We hope he doesn't want to fall because he's at
Speaker 4: high risk.
Speaker 2: I think this is amazing, because you know what, love
Speaker 2: is not just for the young and the beautiful. Everybody
Speaker 2: needs what.
Speaker 4: I think this could work down Under. I reckon we
Speaker 4: could get like John Farnham as the Aussie Golden Bachelor.
Speaker 3: Isn't he married? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Well Hollywood loves that. Don't last Coshy, Oh my god, gosh,
Speaker 4: she just retired, retired from Sunrise. Maybe maybe he's going
Speaker 4: to the sunset of his life. He's going to be
Speaker 4: the Aussie Golden Bachelor.
Speaker 2: Like Russell Crowe.
Speaker 3: No, he's also in long term relationship. You guys are hopeless.
Speaker 3: Has anyone done their research? If people are married, you
Speaker 3: can't just throw name in the middle.
Speaker 2: Do you know what, Even if they are married, they
Speaker 2: may be unhappily married and bachelor could be their new
Speaker 2: tickets to sunset us of their luck.
Speaker 4: Instead of giving the people roses, does he just give
Speaker 4: them like cowtrait pills? They just get osteoporosis medications.
Speaker 2: Listen to they get blood thinners.
Speaker 4: Instead of a rose, they get that little white cup
Speaker 4: full of pills. I pick you, here's your ash, Bronden.
Speaker 3: Do you accept this life?
Speaker 4: Jerry? They're talking to a wall. I pick your sweetheart, Jerry.
Speaker 4: That's a marble mannequin.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna call it no offense, Laura. I reckon this
Speaker 3: is the best bachelor they've ever had.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Look, I'm not contemplating it.
Speaker 3: Though terrible.
Speaker 2: Does everyone want to watch very close with a camera
Speaker 2: right there a seventy year old man yacking out with granny.
Speaker 3: They're not going to be making They're gonna be pecking.
Speaker 2: Maybe they don't. I reckon that these dirty dogs get down.
Speaker 4: Or you're right, you know, yeah, the highest amount of
Speaker 4: comedia in Australia. I'm not joking.
Speaker 3: He's in Koala's mitch after.
Speaker 4: Homes because they're all going at it and then they
Speaker 4: forget they do it, so they do it nine times
Speaker 4: any day.
Speaker 3: Do you forget? They just don't care anymore.
Speaker 4: I can't wait to watch this on fold. This is
Speaker 4: going to be fantastic.
Speaker 3: I would love to speak to me and producer Tony.
Speaker 3: Can you get him?
Speaker 4: Get Tony Y? Thank you? That was easy for much.
Speaker 3: But I want the golden batchelor.
Speaker 4: I say, we've got putting in mashed bananas and you'll
Speaker 4: rush into the studio.
Speaker 1: Stop it, Jerry, if you're listening, I support you and
Speaker 1: I'm all about this.
