Speaker 1: Come on in.
Speaker 2: Hello, Happy Wednesday, everyone, ue Honday, Happy Wednesday.
Speaker 3: Also night is pretty birthday happy?
Speaker 4: You forgot for a second, didn't you?
Speaker 5: Could I forget?
Speaker 4: I am, oh my god, it's a male strip.
Speaker 1: I am genuinely not putting this on. You'll see my face.
Speaker 4: On the camera. I just forgot that it was my birthday.
Speaker 4: It's because we're celebrating you all day. Happy birthday much,
Speaker 4: But I didn't think i'd needed to tell you this.
Speaker 4: A single rose is very triggering for me.
Speaker 5: But a single rose does it gives you the reminder
Speaker 5: of how you came into your fame.
Speaker 1: And also how I got dumped on national television as
Speaker 1: the first person in the world to ever win The Bachelor.
Speaker 4: I'm not win anything.
Speaker 2: You'll hate the honey that I got you and the badger.
Speaker 3: I'll take the badger, appealing the curtain back for the listeners.
Speaker 2: Laura and I called Laura on the way to the
Speaker 2: show this afternoon. I'm like, should we forget it's Britney's birthday?
Speaker 3: Purely because you said this on the show a couple
Speaker 3: of months ago, Ready, and I wanted to put it
Speaker 3: to the test.
Speaker 5: Who actually remembers anyone's birthday these days and doesn't go
Speaker 5: off Facebook.
Speaker 1: But I think it depends on the person, right, Like
Speaker 1: I genuinely could not care if both of you forgot
Speaker 1: my birthday, could not care. I would not even blink
Speaker 1: an eye. You would.
Speaker 4: I would I called bullshit though.
Speaker 5: If I forgot your fortieth birthday, even if you didn't
Speaker 5: bring it up, I would have never would never let
Speaker 5: me live it down.
Speaker 4: I couldn't care you. I never celebrate my birthday Laura
Speaker 4: and I were too scared to do it. I wouldn't
Speaker 4: have remembered. To know that you have not remembered. That's
Speaker 4: the point. Maybe you need to go and get like
Speaker 4: an Alzheimer's check or something in.
Speaker 3: Your old age.
Speaker 4: Just genuinely not important to me.
Speaker 5: You were important to us, Brittany Hockley and happy birth
Speaker 5: beautiful days.
Speaker 2: And there's also all we're talking on it today, Like
Speaker 2: that's it. We're not doing the whole show dedicated to you.
Speaker 3: What this is all?
Speaker 6: You can no?
Speaker 1: I don't want I don't want you know, Actually, now
Speaker 1: that we're here, commit I want a whole Brittany's Birthday show.
Speaker 5: Brittany's Like I want you to cry for me and
Speaker 5: bring out the cake. Coming up next, we're all going
Speaker 5: to cry for britt together.
Speaker 2: No coming BRIT's Birthday special. We're talking public proposals, cringe
Speaker 2: or beautiful. One has happened here in this country and
Speaker 2: it's really divided the nation.
Speaker 5: This rose is really dead. Sorry, it's the afternoon and
Speaker 5: we bought it this morning.
Speaker 1: You let's just find that on the street. I feel
Speaker 1: like you took it from someone's garden. I thought you
Speaker 1: would have. I reckon someone else got given that a
Speaker 1: week ago, Mitch. Just like Bingo, she's a.
Speaker 2: Big all right, welcome to the pickup everyone, Happy Wednesday.
Speaker 1: You can't.
Speaker 2: The big stories of the day, Brittain Laurie. You need
Speaker 2: to decide whether or not we carry on a conversation.
Speaker 3: Shouldn't pick it up? Or we put it down? And
Speaker 3: we stopped talking about it this week? Are you ready?
Speaker 4: I'm always ready.
Speaker 2: Today we're discussing ladies and gentlemen. All you can eat buffet.
Speaker 4: Pick them up. I love a buffet.
Speaker 5: I'm quite sad that there's not more sizzlers in the
Speaker 5: world these days.
Speaker 4: So yes, I will say pick it up. But I
Speaker 4: don't know what happened.
Speaker 2: Well, she was arrested at an Applebee's or you can
Speaker 2: eat restaurant for disorderly conduct. Apparently there was an all
Speaker 2: you can eat deal advertised and it did not specify
Speaker 2: per person, so she paid one fee and then brought
Speaker 2: the whole family, kids and all in to eat for free.
Speaker 4: No, it was promoted in the wrong way. Not fair.
Speaker 4: You can't try to get through a loophole. You can't say, oh,
Speaker 4: it's all you can eat.
Speaker 5: So I'm going to bring an entire truck and fill
Speaker 5: it up, so I've got takeaway for the next month.
Speaker 4: Do you know what I used to do? I'm not
Speaker 4: proud of it, but I will admit to it.
Speaker 1: When I was a very young and poor backpacker, I
Speaker 1: was backpacking around the world and I didn't have a
Speaker 1: lot of money, and I was living in a van
Speaker 1: with no windows. It was a removlessvan, not like a
Speaker 1: cute van. I had a wooden floor and no I know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I could picture.
Speaker 4: It was freezing wastingland in Europe, and it was cold
Speaker 4: having your showers at like the local gym, no beach.
Speaker 1: The beach so we used to go to We used
Speaker 1: to go to our pizza hut with a container and
Speaker 1: would eat as much as we could, and then we
Speaker 1: would feel the container under the table, put a lid
Speaker 1: on it, and that would be either the dinner or
Speaker 1: the next day's lunch.
Speaker 5: Yeah. But that's the thing everyone has, that one person
Speaker 5: who always tries to like scurry if you away.
Speaker 4: That's my mum.
Speaker 5: Me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, you two are sorry, really really all right?
Speaker 3: Moving on? Pickup put down? Public proposal?
Speaker 4: What pick them up? Wow? That surprises me from you
Speaker 4: put it down? I'm saying, put it down.
Speaker 2: There's one that everyone's talking about. The NFL had. You know,
Speaker 2: they did a kiss cam where they zoom in on
Speaker 2: couples that kiss on the be A man proposed to
Speaker 2: his girlfriend and his partner immediately started shaking his head.
Speaker 3: I was like, no, I don't want to get married.
Speaker 5: Do you think that if you got proposed to in
Speaker 5: public you would feel and a lot of people watching
Speaker 5: you would feel a pressure to say yes and then
Speaker 5: say no later?
Speaker 4: I asked, one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: You always always say yes to save grace, like to
Speaker 1: save face for that person I make you say no later.
Speaker 2: I have an opinion that if you're getting married and
Speaker 2: engaged in public, it's hiding the fact that your relationship
Speaker 2: isn't actually that good.
Speaker 3: It's a hot take, But I think if.
Speaker 2: You are that sound and happy and confident in your
Speaker 2: own love, you don't need a grand gesture to say, look,
Speaker 2: how good.
Speaker 3: It's purely for other people.
Speaker 1: If Ben proposed to me my fiance, now, if he
Speaker 1: proposed to me at the end of a football match,
Speaker 1: I would have equally have loved that, because he knows
Speaker 1: what I've said. Yes, I couldn't care less if it
Speaker 1: was mortified, if it was private like us, one on
Speaker 1: one like he did it, or in a football match.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter to me because at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, this is the same end result, right, except
Speaker 1: one makes you probably a bit more fair.
Speaker 2: If you did it that pizza hut you're talking about,
Speaker 2: would you still have loved that?
Speaker 4: Negative?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the difference, all right.
Speaker 2: Finally, pick up, put down, remaining alert and awake the
Speaker 2: whole flight. If you are sitting on the aisle seat
Speaker 2: of an aeroplane.
Speaker 4: Put it down.
Speaker 5: I heard about this apparently, if you are on the
Speaker 5: aisle seat, there's an expectation that you will stay awake,
Speaker 5: And I can't even stay awake in a short drive.
Speaker 5: If I'm a passenger I'm like, oh, my baby driving,
Speaker 5: I'm like a baby. Anytime there's motion, I am asleep.
Speaker 5: So I just think it is the most unreasonable request
Speaker 5: that if someone's in an aisle seat you should expect
Speaker 5: them to stay awake.
Speaker 3: Why is it, do you think?
Speaker 2: Is it in case of emergency or so the people
Speaker 2: in the middle and the window can go to the bathroom.
Speaker 4: It's so it's not an emergency. Absolutely not.
Speaker 1: Because the emergency, the person closest to the window needs
Speaker 1: to be awake so they can rip the door open.
Speaker 1: It's just so that people can get out to the toilet.
Speaker 1: But I I stand up. Oh people's asleep on their
Speaker 1: on the aisle. I will stand up over them. But
Speaker 1: then the question is do you go Do you step
Speaker 1: over their seat fanny first or butt first in their
Speaker 1: face because you've got to get out into the aisle, right,
Speaker 1: So do you face them in the.
Speaker 4: Grab claw over or do you turn backwards and crab
Speaker 4: claw or you try and climb over the top of
Speaker 4: them whilst they're still sleeping. I've climbed over heaps of people.
Speaker 4: I'm very athletic. Wouldn't you just wake them up? Nah?
Speaker 4: I would rather. I think you're asks in their face.
Speaker 1: I can go to the yep, I can go to
Speaker 1: the bathroom without that person knowing I do not disturb
Speaker 1: their slumber.
Speaker 5: No, imagine waking up pretty longly, asses in your face, what.
Speaker 3: A day full?
Speaker 2: Mister bean Fenny forward, arms back, I would gothom.
Speaker 4: I will go but yeah, but facing them, yeah, I always.
Speaker 1: But first, have you guys seen this new trend of
Speaker 1: chat GPT absolutely roasting people's Instagram? Yes, it's so good
Speaker 1: and we may or may not have been roasted ourselves, all.
Speaker 3: Right, snaxt so the pickup.
Speaker 1: Hey, Mitch Laurie, you might have seen this chat GPT
Speaker 1: roasting going viral online. So if you haven't seen this,
Speaker 1: people are doing this trend where you know, you can
Speaker 1: ask chat GPT literally anything.
Speaker 4: It's AI.
Speaker 1: It knows everything people are sending in their own Instagram
Speaker 1: or social media profiles and getting them to tell them
Speaker 1: what they think of. It just based off the pictures,
Speaker 1: so it's not based off like your bio or your
Speaker 1: name or anything. You just have a look at whatever
Speaker 1: pictures are on the screen and then.
Speaker 4: They they just roast.
Speaker 5: How have we gotten to the place in society where
Speaker 5: we need to be paid out by artificial intelligence, Like
Speaker 5: how we gotten there?
Speaker 2: I know, But isn't it sad that we don't ask
Speaker 2: our friends for advice? We go, hey, computer, tell me
Speaker 2: what you think about me?
Speaker 5: Mitch, tell me what you actually think about me. I'm
Speaker 5: not going to ask you. I'm going to go and
Speaker 5: ask this robot.
Speaker 4: Guys, I don't think I think you're missing the point.
Speaker 1: No one's doing it because they actually want the computer's advice.
Speaker 1: They're not going to go and change their profile based
Speaker 1: on it. But it's just a bit of amusement. People
Speaker 1: just don't see what they say. So I organized for
Speaker 1: chat GPT to roast all of us, basically, so I
Speaker 1: don't know what I didn't want to know the answer.
Speaker 4: I got to producer Grace to do it. So she
Speaker 4: sent them in.
Speaker 1: All I know is that one of us is far
Speaker 1: worse off than the other.
Speaker 4: That's what she's fed back to me. Who do you
Speaker 4: think is the easiest the easiest offended? Like, out of the.
Speaker 2: Three of us, we've got kids, So I doubt chat
Speaker 2: GTP is going to be like two Grommets around that
Speaker 2: woman to tell.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of photos of me with plants and animals,
Speaker 5: though so that might think I live on a farm.
Speaker 3: Yeah, crazy cat lady.
Speaker 2: You've got your dog brit But then you've got a
Speaker 2: beautiful boyfriend Ben mine.
Speaker 4: Then you have lots of hot summer photos. So I
Speaker 4: don't know what mine will be because I've got dog stuff.
Speaker 1: I've got very unfiltered, hectic like podcast stuff like sexy chat,
Speaker 1: and then I've got some fashion stuff.
Speaker 4: We just had the LOGI, so I don't know what
Speaker 4: was gonna be.
Speaker 2: Chat JTP comes to my age gap boyfriend, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: lose it.
Speaker 4: Let's have a look what they say, producer Grace. What
Speaker 4: do they call that in a gay relationship when there's
Speaker 4: like a gap?
Speaker 1: But that was brilliant, and that was a dumb question.
Speaker 4: Let's see what chat JPT has to say. We are
Speaker 4: going to start me Laura play.
Speaker 6: This Instagram profile looks like the chaotic love child of
Speaker 6: a family scrapbook and a pr campaign instead of the
Speaker 6: shiny red carpet shots mixed in with the obligatory look
Speaker 6: at my cute kids and pets come as if the
Speaker 6: algorithm's going to implode without both. It's like they can't
Speaker 6: decide if they want to be a household name or
Speaker 6: just a regular person trying to get by newsflash, you
Speaker 6: can't have it both ways.
Speaker 4: That's right, I'm sorry, like a PR campaign slash what
Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
Speaker 5: I I think I need to go to therapy with
Speaker 5: Jack GPT like they need to be my my personal
Speaker 5: I'm okay with this.
Speaker 3: That's so brutal. PR with family that is hilarious.
Speaker 1: Okay, I guess I will volunteers true for next Brits.
Speaker 6: This Instagram profile looks like it's trying way too hard
Speaker 6: to convince everyone that juggling, podcasting, red carpet events and
Speaker 6: sipping green juice is the pinnacle of human achievements. It's
Speaker 6: like a bizarre mix of look how glamorous my life
Speaker 6: is and I'm just a down to earth girl with
Speaker 6: a dog and a smoothie. It's basically the influencer starter
Speaker 6: pack sprinkle of trying to stay relevant desperation.
Speaker 1: I love disp picture on there that I have a
Speaker 1: dog in a smoothie. He's literally He's like, it's like
Speaker 1: she has a dog in a smoothie.
Speaker 3: I do have a dog in a smoothie.
Speaker 5: I am a chaotic mess and you are in influencer desperation.
Speaker 1: I look like I'm trying too hard to balance work
Speaker 1: with being humbled.
Speaker 2: I don't understand how it can be so brutal. Isn't
Speaker 2: AI meant to be non biased? No?
Speaker 5: I think that this is like, you know how people
Speaker 5: do the roast like that, It's like the TV show.
Speaker 4: It's it's proper roast, and I think it's gonna have
Speaker 4: some really interesting things to say about you, Mitch. I
Speaker 4: have a sneaky suspicion this is gonna be worse.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 3: It's my Instagram feed roasted by chat GPT.
Speaker 6: Looks like someone is having a mid career crisis, trying
Speaker 6: to decide between being the next big radio star or
Speaker 6: a full time meme. Lord from Red Carpet poses that
Speaker 6: scream look at me, I dressed myself to the obligatory
Speaker 6: hot girl walk flex. It's a buffet of tryhard content.
Speaker 6: Half the posts are just recycled radio bits, and the
Speaker 6: other half are shameless plugs disguised as attempts to stay relevant.
Speaker 4: Bravo for the effort, though, Oh well done.
Speaker 1: Faster, she got a compliment to finish it, Mitch, recycled
Speaker 1: radio in a midlife crisis.
Speaker 3: I'm twenty eight.
Speaker 4: That's not midlife. At least you didn't attack your age gape.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, guys, this is brutal. We're all gonna
Speaker 4: go and have therapy after this. Now I'm gonna go
Speaker 4: post to smoothie in my dog.
Speaker 3: All right back after this, I would pick up.
Speaker 5: Now, guys, I know this is something that you don't
Speaker 5: care about, but it's all that I have thought about
Speaker 5: since I've been at home this last week. It's book Week, Laura.
Speaker 3: I loved bookwek growing up, Britz, so did you. He's
Speaker 3: talking about this often.
Speaker 4: I was a book Week queen. Yeah, that was.
Speaker 3: Captain Underpants you two till seven?
Speaker 4: Oh, I was gumnut baby and a Hawaiian dancer.
Speaker 5: We need to get into that part because Britz BRIT's
Speaker 5: costumes were actually very questionable and probably not that age
Speaker 5: appropriate at the time.
Speaker 4: But book Week, and the reason why I have.
Speaker 5: An issue with it is because it goes for a
Speaker 5: week and you are expected to come up with a
Speaker 5: new outfit for your child every day. The more kids
Speaker 5: you have, the more outfits you've got to come up with.
Speaker 5: And I'm talking like it's craft activities. It's afternoons of
Speaker 5: going to kmart or spotlight or buddings, which I know
Speaker 5: is kind of part and parcel of the parenting thing.
Speaker 5: But by mid week, like as in, by the time
Speaker 5: you get to Wednesday, I'm exhausted and I am done.
Speaker 5: And my child doesn't know whether she's a dinosaur or
Speaker 5: a cat. She's got no idea, So why do we
Speaker 5: have to try so hard?
Speaker 3: On sky News? My kid doesn't know her own gender.
Speaker 3: She wakes up and thinks she's a pretty cat.
Speaker 2: Come on, it's a book week, everyone.
Speaker 4: I have an opinion.
Speaker 1: Much.
Speaker 4: I have an opinion.
Speaker 1: I think the fact that you have to have ten
Speaker 1: costume changes in a week is ludicrous, and I think
Speaker 1: that they should think you yes, they should be teaching
Speaker 1: consistency and commitment at these preschools. You go as you
Speaker 1: pick your outfit and you commit for the week. It's
Speaker 1: five days that you are that dinosaur.
Speaker 4: You don't change.
Speaker 5: This is this is exactly my point. So this morning Monday,
Speaker 5: we forgot. So we kind of got off to a
Speaker 5: bit of a slow start. The kid's got to daycare.
Speaker 5: Everyone was dressed up and I looked around and I
Speaker 5: was like, oh my god, it's book week and I
Speaker 5: had the costumes at home, So.
Speaker 2: What did you suggest just pretend you for puberty blues,
Speaker 2: like from your school kids, Like you're just normal kids,
Speaker 2: just in normal clothes.
Speaker 5: I think it's resilience building, you know, being that one
Speaker 5: kid that goes to school not on mufty day but
Speaker 5: in your school uniform was resilient.
Speaker 3: Get that kid sits in the library every day, has
Speaker 3: no friends.
Speaker 4: Her kids are fine. My kids are fine.
Speaker 5: They are resilient. They actually didn't mind, but when it
Speaker 5: came to Tuesday, they were stoked to get dressed. So
Speaker 5: Lola went as a dinosaur. But she's very strong willed.
Speaker 5: Lola three years old, and she was convinced that she
Speaker 5: was a rhino.
Speaker 4: Similar not identical ancestors. But last year she dressed as
Speaker 4: a penguin.
Speaker 5: She took a book to school that was Vernon the Penguin,
Speaker 5: and she was convinced that she was a cat.
Speaker 4: Do you have to take the matching book to your outfits?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so not only do you buy ten outfits, you
Speaker 1: have to buy ten books.
Speaker 5: Well, they pick the book that they want to go as,
Speaker 5: and then you have to try and fashion an outfit
Speaker 5: to match the book.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's why it's unreasonable. There's one moving kids.
Speaker 4: I can't deal with bookweek. Britt.
Speaker 5: Can you please, now that we've got to this destination,
Speaker 5: please describe what your gumnut baby outfit was.
Speaker 4: Actually made from my mom'said his school.
Speaker 1: I loved the gum nut babies, which is if you
Speaker 1: don't know what they are, it's you're like a gumnat
Speaker 1: out of a tree. But there were little little cute characters.
Speaker 1: You sorry, you were looking at me blankly, No I know.
Speaker 1: So mum got crape paper, which is that really hin
Speaker 1: paper that cannot get wet from a hot dollar that
Speaker 1: you like wrap a present in or something, and she
Speaker 1: just wrapped a boob tube like around my chest and
Speaker 1: then another mini skirt. She stapled it down the side.
Speaker 1: So I was like sewn into that outfit. It was
Speaker 1: like I was preparing for the logis. Then she just
Speaker 1: went out over the garden and got, oh, sorry, the beanie.
Speaker 1: I had a beanie on my head too, because that
Speaker 1: was the gum nut top. Then she went to the
Speaker 1: garden and just got loads of leaves and she stapled
Speaker 1: my body with leaves. I was sewn into this crape
Speaker 1: paper and that she sent me on my way. I
Speaker 1: was I had crape paper and leaves and that was it.
Speaker 3: So, Laura, what are you proposing.
Speaker 2: You're trying to rally the moms to cancel bookwek you
Speaker 2: want to just boycott book week.
Speaker 4: No, I'm not proposing anything.
Speaker 5: I just think there's solidarity and complaining about so you
Speaker 5: just want to I'm just here.
Speaker 4: For all the mums. I've had so many people.
Speaker 5: Slide into my dms on Instagram owing me like the
Speaker 5: really half baked costumes that they've created, and I'm here
Speaker 5: for it. The amount of effort, the create paper effort,
Speaker 5: that's where I'm at.
Speaker 4: I can get it behind it. I am putting in
Speaker 4: a proposal out to the mums in the car. I
Speaker 4: think we can start a petition. I am with you
Speaker 4: one book, one book and one character a week, commit
Speaker 4: and show dedication to the course.
Speaker 2: If you're listening, Uncle Mitch's a new costume every day.
Speaker 4: No sign a petition. That is, if I'm gonna go home, make.
Speaker 3: Some more costumes, make the factory.
Speaker 4: Wait, get some crepe paper on the way home.
