Speaker 1: Come on.
Speaker 2: Oh, we're on for a fresh week, lady.
Speaker 1: Hellaa, how's everyone's weekend?
Speaker 2: We're good in campus whare house today, great savings every day.
Speaker 2: My weekend was boring because I was waiting for today.
Speaker 2: It's Succession Monday.
Speaker 3: What.
Speaker 2: I'm a business bro. I'm so excited. The second last
Speaker 2: episode ever of Succession came out of eleven. Are you
Speaker 2: guys not on the Succession train?
Speaker 4: I have never watched a single episode.
Speaker 1: I am very very early on. I mean like four
Speaker 1: episode season one.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's fantastic. I don't understand a word they're saying
Speaker 2: or what they're talking.
Speaker 4: About, So I'm not there yet.
Speaker 1: Everyone raves about it, but I haven't hit that peek
Speaker 1: where I'm sucked in yet. I'm still on that surface,
Speaker 1: teetering on the surface.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, there's so much googling done after an episode.
Speaker 2: I've got google. What is a dividend? What is a company?
Speaker 2: What's an ABN?
Speaker 3: You were speaking in another language to me, because I'm
Speaker 3: going to google what the hell is Succession?
Speaker 4: I've not seen it. I've not even heard of it.
Speaker 2: Well, why haven't you seen it?
Speaker 3: Because I've done nothing except seeing a dance floor and
Speaker 3: I'm gonna leave here and go and do more dancing.
Speaker 4: I'm very tired.
Speaker 2: You're I'm dancing with the stars. That's context. You're not
Speaker 2: just suddenly decided to dance. Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, I'm on Dancing with the Stars and it's making
Speaker 3: me a cranky old lady because I never knew that
Speaker 3: dancing could make me so angry.
Speaker 2: But it is, Well, you're talking about that on the
Speaker 2: show today, something that people are talking about.
Speaker 3: Well, okay, there seems to be one big question that
Speaker 3: gets asked every time you do an interview, every time
Speaker 3: there's any sort of pr surrounding the show, and it
Speaker 3: is about the sexual chemistry with your partner. There's a
Speaker 3: lot of speculation and I have a few feelings about.
Speaker 2: It what you and your partner are doing more than dancing.
Speaker 1: Horizontal dance of love, not the sumber Mumber number five.
Speaker 4: Yeah, look, we'll talk about it or it's definitely not happening.
Speaker 2: It's on the way right around the country. It is
Speaker 2: a pick up for your Monday. We're back. Welcome. It's
Speaker 2: the pick up back around the country for your Monday.
Speaker 2: Britt Law and Mitch here right now, get half priced
Speaker 2: big brand vitamins and cosmetics chemist warehouse terms and conditions apply.
Speaker 1: Look, guys, I'm sure you've seen by now, because this
Speaker 1: is definitely some news that has stopped the nation in
Speaker 1: the last six days, and that is of ninety five
Speaker 1: year old Claire Nowland who was tasered in a nursing home. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, you guys have seen this. The story goes
Speaker 1: that Claire, she uses a walking frame, she has early
Speaker 1: stages of dementia. Now, last week she was found with
Speaker 1: a steak knife, so you know, in the nursing home.
Speaker 1: But she had a steate knife. Now, this is obviously
Speaker 1: a part of the dementia, the early stages of dementia.
Speaker 1: What then proceeded to happen was officers were called and
Speaker 1: one of the police officers, a man that has been
Speaker 1: in serving as a policeman for twelve years, very experienced,
Speaker 1: tased her. Ninety five ye old woman with a walking frame.
Speaker 1: She did have the steak knife, but she was in
Speaker 1: a walking frame, so she's not going anywhere. I imagine
Speaker 1: at ninety five you're also quite frail.
Speaker 2: It was four am as well as four am.
Speaker 1: He's tasted her and she's now because of that. As
Speaker 1: a result. In end of life care, so her her
Speaker 1: body obviously couldn't take that, because I imagine there wasn't
Speaker 1: much left at ninety five anyway, and she's now at
Speaker 1: the end stages of her life as a result of
Speaker 1: this tasering. This is truly horrific treatment of a ninety
Speaker 1: five year old woman.
Speaker 3: I don't think that there is a single person who
Speaker 3: saw this article come out or saw this story and
Speaker 3: didn't think, what the hell is going on? Like, how
Speaker 3: on earth does how on earth did the police even
Speaker 3: get called to an age care facility in the middle
Speaker 3: of the night for this sort of thing? How are
Speaker 3: they not more workers in the nursing home? How have
Speaker 3: they not been more equipped to deal with a situation
Speaker 3: where maybe a ninety five year old woman becomes disorientated, disgruntled,
Speaker 3: maybe a bit aggressive, But I think on the scheme
Speaker 3: of things, how aggressive can someone who's ninety five on
Speaker 3: a zimmer frame get.
Speaker 2: A Greek completely? And but why was their pepper spray
Speaker 2: not pulled first, or why didn't they just get a
Speaker 2: blanket and wrap it around it, like they could have
Speaker 2: pulled a duner off and given her a bear hug
Speaker 2: and taken her to the ground.
Speaker 4: Yea Surely the.
Speaker 1: Next step is definitely not to go straight to a taser.
Speaker 4: Absolutely not.
Speaker 1: But one thing I want to say is I've worked
Speaker 1: in a hospital for thirteen years in an emergency department.
Speaker 1: That's what I have done before this life.
Speaker 4: I have come.
Speaker 1: Across a lot of patients with dementia. One thing I
Speaker 1: will say is they are not themselves. They can find
Speaker 1: extraordinary amounts of strength. They can not always this is
Speaker 1: just sometimes sometimes sometimes they're really peaceful and soft and
Speaker 1: gentle and lovely, but they can get this otherworldly strength.
Speaker 1: A lot of the time they're fearing for their life.
Speaker 1: But what I want to add to this conversation is
Speaker 1: she's ninety five and she weighed forty three kilo.
Speaker 2: Group.
Speaker 1: If I'm sorry for policeman, a man who has been
Speaker 1: in the force for twelve years cannot control a ninety
Speaker 1: five year old woman that weighs forty three that's a
Speaker 1: blanket wet. There is a serious problem. It is unfathomable
Speaker 1: to me.
Speaker 3: And I know that there's so many people who have
Speaker 3: grind parents or parents who are currently in age care facility.
Speaker 4: I have my grandmother.
Speaker 3: She's in a nursing home and she has dementia, And
Speaker 3: so when I read this, I was like, you put
Speaker 3: your family members into care because you need them to
Speaker 3: be cared for. You expect them to be protected, You
Speaker 3: expect that the staff they're going to have enough staff
Speaker 3: on who were qualified enough, who are capable enough to
Speaker 3: deal with their unique needs. And when somebody has a
Speaker 3: disability or they have dementia, they have needs and they
Speaker 3: can't we know they can get aggressive. Why weren't there
Speaker 3: more staff working? Why was this not mediated before police
Speaker 3: needed to be called? And even when police were called,
Speaker 3: why were those police not trained on how to deal
Speaker 3: with people with disabilities. It's unbelievably disgusting, and I think
Speaker 3: that that right now, there's been talk about the body
Speaker 3: care that the police officer was wearing, how they're not
Speaker 3: going to release the footage.
Speaker 2: I do I want to see that. I don't think
Speaker 2: anyone wants to see that, but I imagine the family
Speaker 2: who are grieving the potential and inevitable loss.
Speaker 4: No one wants to see it, But where's the accountability.
Speaker 3: The thing is is, without knowing exactly what happened, without
Speaker 3: that being at least public, it means that the investigation's
Speaker 3: done privately and how do we know that there is
Speaker 3: going to be justice for that woman who's Yes, she's
Speaker 3: ninety five, but her life was cut short and that
Speaker 3: is not a way for anyone's grandmother or mother to
Speaker 3: be treated.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 2: I think an interesting perspective on this is that she
Speaker 2: potentially possibly is the oldest person in the history of
Speaker 2: the world to ever have been tasered. A ninety five
Speaker 2: year old being tasted.
Speaker 4: Well, that's what her priest said.
Speaker 1: Her priest's father, Mark Croker or Croker Sorry, I'm not sure,
Speaker 1: but he visited her and he said she's not conscious,
Speaker 1: but she does look comfortable and peaceful at the moment.
Speaker 1: But he said, she's got to be the oldest person
Speaker 1: in the world to have been tasered like this is
Speaker 1: out of control.
Speaker 2: Well, I think it started a bigger discussion too on
Speaker 2: aged care facilities in this country, the treatment of aged Australians,
Speaker 2: and it's a discussion that needs attention. I think it's
Speaker 2: good it's bringing light to this issue.
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
Speaker 3: I mean, this is a mother of eight children, a
Speaker 3: grandmother of twenty four children, and now she's in hospital
Speaker 3: with crackskull.
Speaker 4: It's just revolting.
Speaker 2: All right. We're back after this on the Pickup. It's
Speaker 2: the Pickup Monday afternoon with Brit Laura and Mitch. Here
Speaker 2: I head into chemist warehouse today. Are great savings every day.
Speaker 3: Okay, now, I know I've been speaking about it a lot,
Speaker 3: but it's because it's taking over my entire life at
Speaker 3: the minute.
Speaker 4: Dancing with the stars.
Speaker 2: Oh is rehearsing day in, day out. Your ankles are
Speaker 2: sore from the sumber.
Speaker 3: No, it's my hip flexes are really sore. I'm not
Speaker 3: doing the sumber, but you know, my hip flexes are
Speaker 3: sort purely from dancing. I would like to make that
Speaker 3: very clear because something the Kid's coming up in every
Speaker 3: interview I've done, in every conversation. Mostly it's when you're
Speaker 3: doing the media, the publicity rounds. It's the big conversation
Speaker 3: between what's the chemistry like with you and your partner.
Speaker 3: There seems to be this expectation, or there's this subtle
Speaker 3: innuendo that everybody, all the celebrities, must be getting it
Speaker 3: on with their dance partners, or that there must be
Speaker 3: some sexual chemistry there.
Speaker 1: Chemistry is very important in a performance and in dancing
Speaker 1: because it's it's acting of sorts. So do you think
Speaker 1: they're just trying to be like surface level and inquire
Speaker 1: about the partners, and.
Speaker 3: You do get very very close and you are kind
Speaker 3: of like rubbing your body parts on each other.
Speaker 2: Also, there have been affairs in the past. There's been
Speaker 2: so many dancing affairs.
Speaker 1: These are actually wanted questions.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the rumors have been started by Britain. I I
Speaker 2: believe it's happening.
Speaker 3: You mixed jury, No, okay, this is what I've heard
Speaker 3: that there have been quite a few celebrities in the
Speaker 3: past who have hooked up with their dancing partners. We
Speaker 3: saw it last year the controversy that happened with Grant
Speaker 3: Dania and Lily. There was news articles that came out
Speaker 3: trying to insinuate that he was having an affair with Lily,
Speaker 3: And obviously we know Grant Dania is beautifully married to
Speaker 3: his gorgeous wife and he ended up winning a defamation
Speaker 3: case against it. But even myself, there have been so
Speaker 3: many questions that have come up from when I'm getting
Speaker 3: interviewed about the show and doing the publicity rounds around
Speaker 3: what's my chemistry like with Danielle And was Matt jealous
Speaker 3: or does he have anything to be jealous?
Speaker 4: Of my partner. I mean, bless him.
Speaker 3: He's probably gonna hate that I say it, but like,
Speaker 3: there's nothing I have more sexual chemistry for like a
Speaker 3: way with me.
Speaker 4: I have more sexual chemistry with you, Mitch.
Speaker 3: He's very militant with me, so he's quite bossy, and
Speaker 3: I don't like it in like a bossy sexy way.
Speaker 3: But he's very like, you know, tells me what to do.
Speaker 3: We have such little sexual chemistry and we have to
Speaker 3: do this one dance, which is the storyline, is like
Speaker 3: us being in love and then we've broken up. Now
Speaker 3: we're coming back together. It's meant to be quite emotional
Speaker 3: and beautiful. I can't even pretend because I start laughing.
Speaker 1: He could also be a child.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's sixteen years younger than me. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Stranger things have happened. So when Matt did Dancing
Speaker 2: with the Stars and he was in the semifinals, were
Speaker 2: you jealous of his female dancing partner?
Speaker 3: So when Matt did Dancing with the Stars, I was
Speaker 3: only three or four weeks postpartum, like I'd just given
Speaker 3: birth to Lola, So I was feeling pretty shitty about
Speaker 3: myself at the time. And he was gone for eight
Speaker 3: hours a day rubbing himself up against a beautiful Her
Speaker 3: name is Ruby, Oh and I love her to death.
Speaker 4: She's just the most gorgeous thing. But yeah, there was
Speaker 4: a part of me that was like, oh God, look
Speaker 4: at me.
Speaker 3: Every time I cough, I wean myself and he's out
Speaker 3: there on the dance floor with this tiny, tight little thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a part against me rub me.
Speaker 4: He doesn't want to rub me. I'm wearing a diaper.
Speaker 4: It was awful.
Speaker 2: So no affair because Britt and I have been texting
Speaker 2: and we thought maybe there was one.
Speaker 4: You did know we did. We actually put bets on
Speaker 4: Laura having a fair, not Laura win. We know the
Speaker 4: answer to Laura win. You're not going to get your
Speaker 4: money on that one. No, that's why we put it on.
Speaker 2: You're not going to win money the other one.
Speaker 4: You're not going to win money on the affair either.
Speaker 3: I want to put it to rest in case any
Speaker 3: any articles come out, in case anyone wants to try
Speaker 3: and insinuate anything.
Speaker 1: Zero sextual witness chemistry. I've witnessed to the dancing Ken
Speaker 1: Ken firm. There is no.
Speaker 2: Sexual Okay, all right, there you go take that. Australia
Speaker 2: no chemistry at all, none. Zero. The score is zero.
Speaker 3: For sexual chemistry, the score is zero, which I don't
Speaker 3: think is going to bode very well for us when
Speaker 3: it actually comes to performing.
Speaker 4: You guys dance well, but clearly you don't like each other.
Speaker 2: We do.
Speaker 4: He's lovely. I like you. We get it.
Speaker 2: You're not a brother.
Speaker 4: Fair, you're not having a fair.
Speaker 2: We got it. We got to stop talking about it.
Speaker 3: We're on thing.
Speaker 4: He's like my brother.
Speaker 2: I actually believe, Brittany. I know you're in a loving
Speaker 2: relationship now, but I believe I found your soulmate outside
Speaker 2: of your relationship and your partner. And I'm going to
Speaker 2: tell you exactly the name of your soulmate.
Speaker 3: It's also danil My Dan's partner, and he's not going
Speaker 3: to be happy if you have gone an outsource to
Speaker 3: soulmate for me.
Speaker 2: I found your next partner. I'll tell you what it
Speaker 2: is next. I'm the pickup. It is the pickup Monday afternoon,
Speaker 2: Laura Mitch here, at least in Chemists ware House. You
Speaker 2: got a head in today right now, get half priced
Speaker 2: big brand vitamins and cosmetics at Chemists Warehouse. Terms and
Speaker 2: conditions apply now. Britney Hartley a beloved. We know you're
Speaker 2: in a happy, loving, long distance relationship with the superstar
Speaker 2: model slash soccer player, the model now too.
Speaker 4: He is a handsome man. He's very good looking, he's
Speaker 4: very tall, he.
Speaker 2: Lives overseas, he's in Scotland. It's long distance, but God,
Speaker 2: you're making it work.
Speaker 4: I am smitten.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I don't know where this is going, but it's creepy.
Speaker 4: Soon too, he's coming for holiday two weeks.
Speaker 2: Maybe he can come to a show with maybe, well
Speaker 2: maybe not, because would you con see him your soulmate
Speaker 2: or on your way to being your soul mate?
Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, he's my person.
Speaker 2: Yeah, interesting because I've done some digging, Laura. A new
Speaker 2: study out of the US has come out and revealed
Speaker 2: that fifty three percent of pet owners believe their pet
Speaker 2: is in fact their soulmate. Which makes me believe, Brittany Hockley,
Speaker 2: that Ben is in fact not your soulmate, but your
Speaker 2: dog Delilah is your one true love.
Speaker 1: Okay, you're going between a rock and a hard place here.
Speaker 1: I love my beautiful boyfriend, Ben, Benjamin.
Speaker 4: He's the light of my life.
Speaker 2: Is that your couple named Benjamin? Name Ben? Human?
Speaker 1: Benuman, He's sweet Benjamin.
Speaker 4: That's his name.
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, sorry, okay, sorry.
Speaker 4: God, I didn't it.
Speaker 1: We don't really know britt that wellfriend.
Speaker 2: Well, I know I.
Speaker 1: Name.
Speaker 2: I didn't realize he had a soft ye in the
Speaker 2: middle of his head. It's German.
Speaker 4: Love him very very much.
Speaker 1: And until you've put presented this to me right now,
Speaker 1: I am very very.
Speaker 4: Obsessed with my dog, Delilah.
Speaker 1: I think she's also a soul mate. But Ben's a human,
Speaker 1: so like Ben is the love of my life?
Speaker 4: Yet is Ben more of so than your dog? Is
Speaker 4: that what we're saying now? I assume so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I don't marry Glilahs, you know I would
Speaker 1: say Ben's my soulmate.
Speaker 2: Isn't that interesting because the evidence proves otherwise. Brittany Hockley
Speaker 2: accosted previously here on the pickup. You said this live
Speaker 2: on the air when we had Ben joining us, sorry, yeah,
Speaker 2: joining us on the show.
Speaker 3: It's a very simple question.
Speaker 1: If the Lilah or me was drown then who would
Speaker 1: you say?
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, you really got to put it
Speaker 3: to the test payer.
Speaker 2: You chose the dog.
Speaker 4: So BRIT's gonna drown a boyfriend even though he's the
Speaker 4: soul mate. This is he was drowning on his own.
Speaker 1: I didn't drown him.
Speaker 2: So you're gonna kill bear?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: First people, what's true?
Speaker 2: One five people think that their pet would be their
Speaker 2: therapist if they could talk.
Speaker 3: That is.
Speaker 1: My pet, Delilah is my therapist, and she can't talk.
Speaker 1: My dog and I believe this. There are studies out
Speaker 1: of this.
Speaker 4: Dogs don't flip.
Speaker 2: A study on my study.
Speaker 1: But I'm going.
Speaker 4: To outstudy your study. I'll raise your study a study.
Speaker 1: Dogs can read emotions and they react to your emotions.
Speaker 1: If you're sad, if you're happy, they resonate with that.
Speaker 4: They give you what you need.
Speaker 1: If I am sad, my dog will be on top
Speaker 1: of me with her palls around my neck, hugging me.
Speaker 4: She'ld be like.
Speaker 3: She does that all the time. It doesn't matter if
Speaker 3: you're sad or not sad. She does it to everyone
Speaker 3: who walks in the house.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm just really sad time.
Speaker 3: Can I can I just say one thing all you
Speaker 3: guys are throwing around in this study. In this I
Speaker 3: haven't seen a single study you can say it about
Speaker 3: anything these days, there's been a study that, Yeah, my
Speaker 3: dog loves me it's a real study.
Speaker 2: This is true.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find where the studies.
Speaker 2: Now I've got the study. Fifty three percent believe their
Speaker 2: pet knows them better than anyone else in their life,
Speaker 2: including their best friends, family members, or even their significant others.
Speaker 2: And I'll land on these Ben lives in Scotland. He
Speaker 2: hasn't moved to your house. Where does Delilah live in
Speaker 2: your house with you? It's Delilah Delilah's.
Speaker 4: I have one thing to add here.
Speaker 3: Maybe since the last time we spoke to brit about
Speaker 3: choosing between Delilah and Ben, Ben was down on a
Speaker 3: lower rung.
Speaker 4: But now because a bit.
Speaker 2: Of time has passed changed.
Speaker 3: He's taken a higher precedence. Maybe Ben, she's moved up
Speaker 3: with the relationship. Now their soulmates.
Speaker 4: Can I not?
Speaker 1: Does it have my boyfriend as a soulmate and then
Speaker 1: Delilah becomes our equal soulmate and we're a throuple.
Speaker 2: Sorry with a dog and your boyfriend. You want to
Speaker 2: have a thropple with your dogs?
Speaker 1: Just a loving relationship, throuple, like emotionally connected.
Speaker 4: She's God, this is the.
Speaker 2: Worst thing you've ever brought to me. My goodness, a
Speaker 2: terrible therapist here First, BRIT's in a throuple with a
Speaker 2: dog and a Scotsman. What a what?
Speaker 4: I dislike you so much in this moment right now.
Speaker 2: Willam, What are you up next? They got a different
Speaker 2: kind of show, but we're back tomorrow. If you miss
Speaker 2: anything podcast at iHeartRadio search the pickup. We'll see you
Speaker 2: tomorrow for Tuesday.
Speaker 4: You guys, Love you by
