Speaker 1: Laura, come on, here we go.
Speaker 2: Hi, lady Hella.
Speaker 3: Hello.
Speaker 4: It's just not if I just got my hair done.
Speaker 4: This has been my hair for like two months, so
Speaker 4: you just don't notice. No, I think it's that girl
Speaker 4: thing when you have a shower and you wash it well,
Speaker 4: like when you've washed it and you come into work,
Speaker 4: everyone's like, oh my god, your hair looks so good today,
Speaker 4: and you're like, I just had a shower.
Speaker 5: Or a showers on a girl thing.
Speaker 1: I think it's that girl thing that women only do
Speaker 1: where they wash them occasionally.
Speaker 6: It's because men pretty much never wash their hair and
Speaker 6: just wear product in it, or they don't have hair,
Speaker 6: one of the two. But women, when they wash their hair,
Speaker 6: it looks all nice and silky, and so, you.
Speaker 4: Know what is so annoying is that the extent that
Speaker 4: women go to with skincare and their hair and their
Speaker 4: shampoo and their condition and how much it all costs.
Speaker 4: Men just put soap or body wash on their whole body.
Speaker 4: They soap their hair once a fortnight. They all look beautiful.
Speaker 4: It's always lash. They literally put in half the effort
Speaker 4: we do and it always look better.
Speaker 2: This is true.
Speaker 6: That's why we should be paid more because we have
Speaker 6: to buy more, and that is why we should be
Speaker 6: paid more.
Speaker 5: I picked and storm the street. That'll do well.
Speaker 7: Take that to the bottom much rug seven night.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've got a big razor for a dollar. Pay
Speaker 5: me more.
Speaker 6: You know what else you need to be paid more
Speaker 6: for the tax on chocolate. Chocolate is going to go up.
Speaker 6: We talked about beer last week. I'm just bringing to
Speaker 6: the facts, guys, chocolate is going up by twenty seven percent.
Speaker 6: Just Laura, just scroll supermarket apps to the spare time.
Speaker 2: And also, I am my mum.
Speaker 6: I care about inflation.
Speaker 5: Is your neighbor Willie Wonka who knows? Like morning, Laura,
Speaker 5: I hated you hear the chocolate news. I'm ready depressed
Speaker 5: about it.
Speaker 6: Apparently the cow trades through the roof and so chocolate
Speaker 6: you get your cabrity.
Speaker 2: It's going to be costing.
Speaker 1: I'm pulling all my money from bitcornes. Guys, I invested
Speaker 1: in the wrong a hard cocow. All right, it's a
Speaker 1: very big show today. We have an ask on cut.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we have a really difficult ask on cut. Someone's
Speaker 4: written in saying that their sister is pretty far along
Speaker 4: in her pregnancy, but she's an absolute slob, lives in disarray,
Speaker 4: lives in disgrace, and she's genuinely worried about the welfare
Speaker 4: of the baby once is born.
Speaker 2: Baby is not born yet.
Speaker 7: No, it's it's en root in the womb.
Speaker 2: Wow, one way out.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, not much you could do. Now
Speaker 1: we'll try our best to give us some advice. Next
Speaker 1: on the pickup around Australia thanks to Chemis Warehouse heading
Speaker 1: today great savings every day you're on the pickup Thursday
Speaker 1: aver A with Britt, Laura and Mitch. Try the new
Speaker 1: Fragrance DC ten Sports one hundred mile by Dan Carter.
Speaker 5: It is new and it's exclusive to wear else. It's

Speaker 8: Everybody ask Asking cut is something we do every week
Speaker 8: on Thursdays where you guys write in or call in
Speaker 8: your deepest, darkest burning questions and when we do our
Speaker 8: best to answer.
Speaker 4: Them and we have the lovely Amy has in today.
Speaker 4: Hey Amy, Hi, what is the problem O?
Speaker 7: So guys, I have this problem.
Speaker 3: I don't have a problem with my mother in law,
Speaker 3: but I have a problem.
Speaker 9: With the state of her house. So, in a nutshell,
Speaker 9: she has got three dogs and one cat, and they've
Speaker 9: got no toilet training sense whatsoever.
Speaker 2: Every time I go around.
Speaker 9: There's a pooh on the floor, there's we on the floor,
Speaker 9: And I have a one year old who will be
Speaker 9: spending a day a week with her, and I just
Speaker 9: can't trust that he's not going to put the pooh
Speaker 9: in his mouth.
Speaker 2: It's a good way to build some immunity.
Speaker 6: Well, no, this is what she tells me.
Speaker 4: Not true, because you can actually get really sick. Cats
Speaker 4: particularly the cats can make children very very sick. I
Speaker 4: think it can actually kill them. I'm not just saying
Speaker 4: there's diseases.
Speaker 2: You can pick.
Speaker 7: It's gastro waiting to happen, is it not?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean obviously it's to help with babysitting, so
Speaker 6: you're not having to pay as high your daycare fees.
Speaker 6: Is there not a way that she could come to
Speaker 6: your house and do the babysitting at your house?
Speaker 3: So no, because she runs a business from home, which
Speaker 3: is the other issue I have with it. Also, last
Speaker 3: week I went there, there was raw chicken breast on
Speaker 3: the bench.
Speaker 2: The dogs were eating it. Do you know what though? Ay?
Speaker 6: I mean it's a hard one because you're getting something
Speaker 6: out of your mother in law, which is that she's
Speaker 6: going to be helping you to take care of the kids,
Speaker 6: which saves you having another day of daycare, which is
Speaker 6: obviously so expensive. So true, it's so expensive. So I
Speaker 6: guess like there's a big decision for you to make.
Speaker 6: Either you're comfortable with your is it a little boy
Speaker 6: or a little girl, my boy with your boy being there,
Speaker 6: or you have to pay that extra money and have
Speaker 6: them in daycare. Because I also worry if your mother
Speaker 6: in law's living like this, if she's got rubbish everywhere,
Speaker 6: if she's letting the animals, like you know, pool on
Speaker 6: the floor and she's not able to clean it up,
Speaker 6: or whatever it is. I always ask the question, like,
Speaker 6: is that person's mental health okay, because it's a real
Speaker 6: sign of someone who's not coping when they're living in
Speaker 6: a state that's not clean or hygienic or good for them.
Speaker 6: And that could also be something that is an issue
Speaker 6: that no one's considered.
Speaker 2: She may not be okay. Some people are just lazy
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 4: Though some people are just dirty and like and of
Speaker 4: course there could be more problems there, but some people
Speaker 4: are just dirty and lazy. I think for me, if
Speaker 4: I could find the money, I would be trying to
Speaker 4: find the money in and put my kid in the
Speaker 4: daycare rather than in that environment. Also, if you can't
Speaker 4: clean up after your animal, I wouldn't trust these animals
Speaker 4: to be around my one year old animals.
Speaker 2: You don't know the way they behave.
Speaker 4: It could be you could have had your family pet forever,
Speaker 4: but you would never leave it unattended in a room
Speaker 4: with an animal and a baby.
Speaker 6: So I have have you ever had the conversation with
Speaker 6: her like, have you ever spoken to her about it
Speaker 6: and explained your worries or pointed out the things?
Speaker 9: And I have mentioned my anxiety about putting him on
Speaker 9: the floor because literally every time I walk in and
Speaker 9: I'm like, oh.
Speaker 2: There's a dog who Yeah, no, that's that's too hard.
Speaker 3: But she sort of just goes oh like an acts
Speaker 3: as if you know, she's not aware of it, but
Speaker 3: it's every time, And how do you not know that
Speaker 3: there's who on the floor inside your house?
Speaker 1: I'd say you need to sit her down and make
Speaker 1: sure everything's good with her, because I think I'm with you, Lauds.
Speaker 1: If you're living like that, you know, have the chat,
Speaker 1: make sure she's okay, maybe she's waiting. Yeah, maybe you know,
Speaker 1: you just need to extend the olive branch and the poops.
Speaker 9: Ca Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely. We'll keep us updated there.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And it's a tricky one.
Speaker 6: And if you can't come to some sort of resolution,
Speaker 6: I think it's you have to put them into daycare
Speaker 6: or look at getting a babysitter or something. We'll see
Speaker 6: if you can work from home on those days. But yeah,
Speaker 6: it may be if she can't take care of herself
Speaker 6: and her animals at the moment in her house, it
Speaker 6: may be too much of a burden for her to
Speaker 6: be able to take care of your child as well.
Speaker 7: It's an easy one day care for me.
Speaker 6: There's a tough conversation to be had.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Amy, That's how it all goes.
Speaker 5: Oka, No worries.
Speaker 1: If you want some advice like that, you can hit
Speaker 1: us up on the pickup dopu also dms on the
Speaker 1: pickup on Instagram. All right, now, next on the show,
Speaker 1: alarming statistics coming out. If you're a parent and you
Speaker 1: have a phone, which is everyone on Earth, Laura, you're
Speaker 1: a parent and you have a phone, I've got some
Speaker 1: new stats on the alarming screen time parents are putting
Speaker 1: into their phones when they really should be putting into
Speaker 1: their kids.
Speaker 4: We then, Laura has multiple phones, She's got a burn
Speaker 4: a phone, She's got the app Authentic Vfication phone.
Speaker 2: So I've got screens everywhere.
Speaker 5: Parents, listen up, you're gonna want to hear these stats.
Speaker 1: We'll do it next on the Pickup Thursday, on the Pickup,
Speaker 1: Welcome back, Britt, Laura and Mitchie are thanks to chemist
Speaker 1: Warehouse heading today great savings every day.
Speaker 5: You know on this show, we love a study, we
Speaker 5: love a survey.
Speaker 7: Statistic.
Speaker 1: Well, this is an interesting stat interesting study for parents
Speaker 1: in the cars listening, or if you're a child in
Speaker 1: a car for some reason listening, you'll love this because
Speaker 1: the study out of the US is revealed that six
Speaker 1: in ten American parents have admitted to spending more time
Speaker 1: on their electronic devices are you their phones than they
Speaker 1: do one on one time with their kids. On average,
Speaker 1: wh parents spend nearly five hours a day on their
Speaker 1: electronic devices compared to less than four hours they would
Speaker 1: spend having meaningful activities with their kids.
Speaker 7: That doesn't shock me at all.
Speaker 1: Actually, really, in this day and age, that parents are
Speaker 1: spending more time on a device than they are actually
Speaker 1: with their kids.
Speaker 6: My part of me when I hear these statistics, Yes,
Speaker 6: it is shocking, and I think that no one can
Speaker 6: say that it doesn't sound shocking, But I think it's not.
Speaker 6: When we say like they're spending X amount of time
Speaker 6: on their phones and X amount of time with their kids.
Speaker 6: People use their phones for work these days. When we
Speaker 6: say devices, we are all using computers or ninety percent
Speaker 6: of us are using computers as part of our working life.
Speaker 6: We're at work for eight hours a day, most people more.
Speaker 6: Most people are getting to work at eight am, not
Speaker 6: leaving until five six. If you've got little kids, and
Speaker 6: I speak myself, my kids are waking up at six
Speaker 6: thirty am, they're at daycare by eight, and then they
Speaker 6: get picked up at five and then they're in bed
Speaker 6: by seven. There's more time that I have on a
Speaker 6: Monday and Friday on my computer than I do with
Speaker 6: my kids. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1: So your kids are babies, Like, what do they expect
Speaker 1: you to sit down to discuss the meaning of life
Speaker 1: with your two year old?
Speaker 6: You still have meaningful time with your little kids, but
Speaker 6: I just think sometimes.
Speaker 2: They're a blob. You don't have to hang out. And
Speaker 2: when I say meaningful.
Speaker 6: Time, it's not watching cocoa melon. But I mean, sometimes
Speaker 6: these statistics, they're so alarming, and they can make parents
Speaker 6: feel so bad and it makes you feel so guilty.
Speaker 6: And if I was to read that, I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 6: I do spend a hell of a lot of time
Speaker 6: on screens and devices. But that doesn't make me a
Speaker 6: bad parent. It makes me a working parent, absolutely. But
Speaker 6: I think, I mean, this is an average survey. I
Speaker 6: think what it means is and I have no doubt
Speaker 6: this is true.
Speaker 2: There are a lot of.
Speaker 4: People that will have a weekend and the days off,
Speaker 4: and it's definitely easier to put a device on for
Speaker 4: the kid. You go do your thing and do your
Speaker 4: own device. And I think that's what it's coming from.
Speaker 4: It's easier to be in front of technology. Now there's iPads,
Speaker 4: there's computer games, TV, one hundred different thousand streaming networks.
Speaker 4: Like everyone says, every friend I know says, I'm not
Speaker 4: going to be that parent.
Speaker 7: I'm not gonna let them have an iPad. I'm not
Speaker 7: gonna put them in front.
Speaker 2: Of the TV.
Speaker 4: But then when they've been screaming for twenty four hours straight,
Speaker 4: and you know that putting them in front of the
Speaker 4: TV for a hot seconds is going to calm them down.
Speaker 1: You do it, Yeah, Laura, interesting question for you, is
Speaker 1: there any part of you that thinks that worries that
Speaker 1: your kids are going to grow up going knowing that
Speaker 1: you're so active on social media.
Speaker 5: You are on your phone a lot for work and
Speaker 5: rightly so.
Speaker 1: But is there any part of you that does worry
Speaker 1: that they'll hold resentment or they'll be aware of how
Speaker 1: much you use how much?
Speaker 2: Absolutely?
Speaker 6: And I think it also comes down to if I'm
Speaker 6: in the room with her, then I'm not doing work
Speaker 6: on my phone. And the reason why I realized it
Speaker 6: is because you can be for me. I can be like, oh,
Speaker 6: I've just got to do this email or I've got
Speaker 6: to do this one thing. At the end of the day,
Speaker 6: she doesn't know what I'm doing. She doesn't care if
Speaker 6: I'm watching a TikTok or if I'm writing an email
Speaker 6: to someone that's important. All she sees is that I'm
Speaker 6: choosing to be on my phone over being in her company.
Speaker 2: And she must have been three, she's four now.
Speaker 6: It was probably a year ago and I was doing
Speaker 6: work and she'd just woken up after her nap and
Speaker 6: she was talking to me and she was like, Mummy,
Speaker 6: look at my face, Mummy, look at my face, because
Speaker 6: she knew that I was paying full attention to her.
Speaker 6: And I think that that for me was the moment
Speaker 6: where I was like, Okay, if i'm yes, I can't
Speaker 6: get away from using my phone. I have to use
Speaker 6: my phone. But if she's speaking to me, give the
Speaker 6: kids the same amount of respect that you would to
Speaker 6: an adult. But sometimes it can be so easy because
Speaker 6: kids are always wanting to talk to you, to be
Speaker 6: like in a second, or yeah, honey, I'm listening, but
Speaker 6: you're actually distracted. They should deserve that same level of
Speaker 6: respect that you would give to an adult. But at
Speaker 6: the same time, I feel like overarchingly, parents are not
Speaker 6: trying to be bad parents, like most parents on average
Speaker 6: want to be good parents and want to do the
Speaker 6: best thing by their kids.
Speaker 1: You know, if only all parents are like my boomer parents,
Speaker 1: they don't know how to get on instagramw if my
Speaker 1: parents did, I would never talk to them. They would
Speaker 1: be hooked if they could.
Speaker 6: So I mean our parents did it. I mean they
Speaker 6: had their own ways of messing things up. So true,
Speaker 6: you're going to screen you kids up someway.
Speaker 5: Different kind of trauma altogether. Now, Lauria, you're in the
Speaker 5: middle of moving houses, right I am.
Speaker 2: I'm in the middle of moving houses.
Speaker 6: We went to an inspection recently on a house that
Speaker 6: we just signed the lease for, excited about moving into it,
Speaker 6: and I needed to go and measure up a few things.
Speaker 6: And I went in and look, there was a surprise
Speaker 6: waiting for me, something smelling.
Speaker 5: Okay, that's next, I'm a pickup.
Speaker 1: Hey, it's the Pickup Thurst day Avo with Britt, Laura
Speaker 1: and Mitch try the new Fragrance DC Sport ten one
Speaker 1: hundred mel by Dan Carter. It is new and it's
Speaker 1: exclusive to Chemist Warehouse for just forty nine ninety nine.
Speaker 6: All right, before I get into this story, something that
Speaker 6: happened to me recently.
Speaker 2: So we're in the process of getting ourselves.
Speaker 6: A new house and it's hard at the moment to
Speaker 6: find a good rental property.
Speaker 2: Right, it is hard.
Speaker 6: It is slim pickings and everything is extremely overpriced. But anyway,
Speaker 6: recently we signed on a new lease and we have
Speaker 6: because we've got so much kids stuff. I wanted to
Speaker 6: make sure that all the stuff we had is going
Speaker 6: to fit in this new house that we're moving into.
Speaker 6: So I asked the real estate agent after we'd signed
Speaker 6: if we could go in and have a look at
Speaker 6: the place again, which I know is kind of I mean,
Speaker 6: it's not really the dumb thing, but there's because there's
Speaker 6: someone living there right now.
Speaker 5: Right there's a tenant in the house.
Speaker 6: So anyway, asked him if we could go in measure
Speaker 6: some stuff up, and they were like, yep, no problem.
Speaker 6: So I walk in to the house and it looks beautiful,
Speaker 6: like the tenant has really cleaned it up for us,
Speaker 6: and I was.
Speaker 2: Like, this is going to be on your home. And
Speaker 2: I was so excited.
Speaker 6: And I walked in and I was going through the
Speaker 6: bedrooms at the front of the house, and everything looks great.
Speaker 6: It's obviously a guy who's renting it. I'm thinking he's
Speaker 6: probably a pretty well to do man because he's renting
Speaker 6: a family home. But it's just one single dude. So
Speaker 6: I walk in and everything looks lovely. And then as
Speaker 6: I get further and deeper into house.
Speaker 2: I was like, why is that smell? Like why does
Speaker 2: the house stink?
Speaker 6: Anyway, I walk into the master bedroom, suite that has
Speaker 6: a little on suite there, and I was like, wow,
Speaker 6: this does not smell good in here, thinking maybe there's
Speaker 6: something wrong with the plumbing that would have to raise
Speaker 6: with the real estate agent. And I walk into the bathroom. Now,
Speaker 6: this man knows I am coming to inspect the house.
Speaker 6: He knows I am coming this day. He knows at
Speaker 6: twelve o'clock the new tenant has a key and she's
Speaker 6: coming inside the house.
Speaker 2: And so what has he done? He has left an
Speaker 2: enormous log, an enormous poop.
Speaker 6: I'm talking a fully snapped off, massive like holidays to
Speaker 6: potle sausage that you can hold in.
Speaker 7: Two hands, sitting in.
Speaker 6: The toilet bowl with no toilet paper, not to us square.
Speaker 7: So he snapped one off. He's had a shower, he's gone.
Speaker 6: And done a poo, and then he's obviously well doing
Speaker 6: across to the other side to the to the sharer
Speaker 6: of a shower.
Speaker 7: In his defense, no, yeah, he's probably ticked off. He's like,
Speaker 7: this is a rental.
Speaker 5: You don't just come and go.
Speaker 4: However many times you want to come back and check
Speaker 4: out the place because you're a good enough.
Speaker 6: Look who leaves the peol and the toilet guy, that's
Speaker 6: like stuff you for coming back.
Speaker 1: You're you're in his space. He's paid for that pooh,
Speaker 1: you're in his area.
Speaker 7: He didn't come into your house and dropped her off.
Speaker 5: It's not it's.
Speaker 2: Still what would you do? What would you do?
Speaker 5: I left it. These images would not displayed on the debate.
Speaker 6: I was never going to be able to sit on
Speaker 6: that toilet and not think of his boom. Ever, I'm
Speaker 6: always gonna think about the man who snapped it off
Speaker 6: and waddled.
Speaker 2: Into the shower.
Speaker 4: It reminds me of one time when I moved into
Speaker 4: my house a long time ago.
Speaker 7: They were actually out. I had suddenly and I was
Speaker 7: moving into it.
Speaker 4: Opened one of the cupboards to like put my clothes
Speaker 4: in coming, and there was a giant box of used
Speaker 4: sex tweets. They left every sex tweet everything.
Speaker 2: Didn't even know.
Speaker 7: What they bro you know, that'd be dusty imagination. No
Speaker 7: dried up like.
Speaker 1: I did the opposite when I because I just moved
Speaker 1: out of my place with my partner because we split up,
Speaker 1: and I left a photo of the two of us
Speaker 1: on the wall for.
Speaker 5: The site to pack it. So they got to move.
Speaker 5: This beautiful gay couple on the wall.
Speaker 2: The real estate agents go through and check for this stuff.
Speaker 1: Ashley High ash as what happened in the move out
Speaker 1: of the rental property?
Speaker 5: What went wrong? Ash So?
Speaker 10: When I was moving in, this is the first time
Speaker 10: I was moving out by myself. I was so excited.
Speaker 10: It was the cheapest rental in my area, and I
Speaker 10: was like, see there, what it's actually not looking too bad.
Speaker 10: I moved in and within like the first few days
Speaker 10: you sort of looking at all the cupbears and that
Speaker 10: kind of stuff. I've gone into the bathroom and up
Speaker 10: in the bathroom cupboard it was full of use pads, tampon.
Speaker 4: Who puts used pazantine one's back in the cupboard?
Speaker 2: They're single use everyone.
Speaker 10: Usable.
Speaker 7: That's actually disgusting.
Speaker 2: What did you do?
Speaker 10: I have to admit I got pitched. I was pissed off.
Speaker 10: I called the real estate and I was like, this
Speaker 10: was disgusting, and they were like, oh, we're sure that
Speaker 10: this has been checked. Are you sure?
Speaker 6: Don't gaslight me about what I just found. I didn't
Speaker 6: do it in my sleep.
Speaker 1: Like I'll take a photo, put it in the in
