Speaker 1: annual flu vaccinations available at Chemists Warehouse only nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 1: So jealous, you guys got to hang out with Celeste Barber?
Speaker 2: We did. Isn't she just fantastic? She's truly a very
Speaker 2: funny woman.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she went viral a couple of years ago, got
Speaker 1: famous because she would mock celebrities, ridiculous interest parody.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wanted to know if she's had any backlash, Like,
Speaker 2: have there been any celebrities that have gotten annoyed by
Speaker 2: her parodying them?
Speaker 1: She's got a brand new Netflix series out, well Mania.
Speaker 1: Let's roll you too with Celeste Barber.
Speaker 3: Celeste Barber, huge fans here. We've stalked you for a
Speaker 3: very long time on the ground, do.
Speaker 5: We How did you get in? If you've stalked me,
Speaker 5: how did you get in?
Speaker 3: It's stalking because I've definitely slid into the DMS a
Speaker 3: few times.
Speaker 2: That's talking.
Speaker 5: It's a mine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what have you said?
Speaker 3: Well a love you be love you see? Can you
Speaker 3: come on the podcast? Maybe now she'll have to because
Speaker 3: it's like on the spot.
Speaker 2: We're waiting for the reply still, but that's fine. In
Speaker 2: well Mania, you're playing the character of Live who goes
Speaker 2: and has a whole lot of crazy things done in
Speaker 2: the world of wellness. But in your actual life, what
Speaker 2: is the wildest thing that you have done in you know,
Speaker 2: the bid for health.
Speaker 5: I had emergency open heart surgery when I was twenty five,
Speaker 5: and a year after that I had to get a
Speaker 5: clonic because it was all full on. That's the weirdest
Speaker 5: thing I had to do. And it's that thing where
Speaker 5: you're like, you can't eat sugar, you can't eat anything
Speaker 5: that tastes good, donat it, anything that makes you feel
Speaker 5: good about yourself, donate it. Just you know, breathe through
Speaker 5: your mouth. That's all you can do. Then I got
Speaker 5: a chlonic and I will never do it again.
Speaker 3: So if you have had open heart surgery, how much
Speaker 3: of a connection do you have to live? Did you
Speaker 3: go down this track in real life of just trying
Speaker 3: to live your healthiest life?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 5: The thing is because when we meet this character of Live,
Speaker 5: it's not as though she's halfway through a wellness journey
Speaker 5: and we're kind of just picking up halfway through. She
Speaker 5: is treating her body like an amusement park. She has
Speaker 5: absolutely no intentions on stopping living the life that she's
Speaker 5: living in New York and killing it as an amazing
Speaker 5: journalist and all that thing thing it happens to her
Speaker 5: that she has to reassess. So I kind of was like,
Speaker 5: I don't actually have to do too much wellness because
Speaker 5: she hasn't. And I method like that. I mean, I
Speaker 5: stayed in BONDI for two weeks prior to filming, and
Speaker 5: I just watched everyone else do it, and I was
Speaker 5: just like drinking, you know, a cocktail and going, you
Speaker 5: guys are doing it. I'm just doing research. I get
Speaker 5: it now.
Speaker 2: So yeah, this is for anyone who's not across it.
Speaker 2: But you do some of the most hilarious parodies of
Speaker 2: celebrities and it is almost a way of being like,
Speaker 2: if a normal person was doing the poses that a rich, skinny,
Speaker 2: hot person was doing, this is what it would look like.
Speaker 2: Where did that inspiration come from to start with?
Speaker 5: One of the reasons I started mainly because you know,
Speaker 5: I wanted to make people laugh, and I thought, you know,
Speaker 5: social media came around and it was a way to
Speaker 5: reach the world, and I wanted to work more as
Speaker 5: an actor, and I was like, I can put this
Speaker 5: out there. I can show that I'm funny and I
Speaker 5: don't know what I'm doing. When it came around at
Speaker 5: that time, the images that I started parodying were being
Speaker 5: shown to us as every day as this is what
Speaker 5: normally happens, and it was heavily curated. That whole body
Speaker 5: shaming industry really started to kick off, you know, was
Speaker 5: so media backing it. I was like, no, no, this
Speaker 5: isn't good. This is going to cut through. And you
Speaker 5: know we're on our phones. I remember, you know, having
Speaker 5: my kid and just like three in the morning looking
Speaker 5: at photos, going I hate myself. The line between looking
Speaker 5: good and feeling good it was getting so blurred. So
Speaker 5: was that thing of going, oh, I feel really good,
Speaker 5: and you know social media is like that's great, but
Speaker 5: you don't look like this. You think, okay, well it
Speaker 5: doesn't matter then. And I said that on my first
Speaker 5: stand up show, my first world tour that I did.
Speaker 5: I was like, I don't support any products that make
Speaker 5: women feel that we need to look a certain way
Speaker 5: to feel a certain way. They are different things. Wellness
Speaker 5: and body shaming, wellness and diet culture a different worlds.
Speaker 5: And when they started to blur, I was like, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 5: I got something to say about this.
Speaker 2: And what's next for you? What are we going to
Speaker 2: see after this?
Speaker 5: I'm going to lie down flat for a while and.
Speaker 2: On the floor here. At least you're a trip. Everyone
Speaker 2: will know exactly that through So thank you so much.
Speaker 2: You are an absolute delight. Congratulate and we can't wait
Speaker 2: to see the whole show.
Speaker 5: Slip back into my DM.
Speaker 1: This is fine, funny, funny. You can get well Mania
Speaker 1: on Netflix now. I'm gonna go watch that.
Speaker 4: Actually, I think, all right, Mitchelle, what's this investigation? We're
Speaker 4: all doing.
Speaker 2: This music.
Speaker 1: You get my smy glass. I'm putting on my fedora.
Speaker 1: There is an international mystery happening in Australia right now,
Speaker 1: and I think we, as a national radio show, can
Speaker 1: help the cause. If you are a woman with pale,
Speaker 1: pink hair in this country, we are looking for you.
Speaker 4: There are some more specifics, but yes, oh.
Speaker 1: We'll get to the details in the nitty gritty. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get my cigar. No, actually, I've got a pipe
Speaker 1: and my fedora and the pick up investigation will continue
Speaker 1: next he is the pickup. Welcome to Thursday afternoon, right
Speaker 1: around the country. Britt, Laura and Mitch head into chemist
Speaker 1: warehouse today, great savings every day. There is a mystery
Speaker 1: going on in this nation and I'm gonna get you
Speaker 1: guys across it. We're on the hunt. We're on the lookout. Overnight,
Speaker 1: Oh dear, pink poster has appeared on a telegraph pole
Speaker 1: in Sydney with a handwritten note plasted in the middle
Speaker 1: of the city. Online people are conflicted, is this cool?
Speaker 1: Is this okay? Or is this creepy? This is what
Speaker 1: the note says, Taped to a lamp post. The pink
Speaker 1: piece of paper red you, pale, pink hair, leopard, pink top,
Speaker 1: effortlessly beautiful, stood in this approximately situation at seven pm
Speaker 1: last Friday. Me. I'm a woman in a black hatchback.
Speaker 1: Did we miss a moment? So it's a woman looking
Speaker 1: for another woman that she believes she had a moment
Speaker 1: with a week ago in that very spot.
Speaker 3: She's also strapped this note to the pole in it's
Speaker 3: like in a laminatee.
Speaker 2: So she really wants this to last the weather. She
Speaker 2: wants to find it. My question is there's no number.
Speaker 2: Is she going to miss another moment?
Speaker 1: Though there is an email address on the bottom, we've
Speaker 1: cut it off here for privacy purposes.
Speaker 2: Fair enough.
Speaker 3: I like that we've got the privacy purposes, but also
Speaker 3: we're trying to find.
Speaker 1: No, No, we're not going to out this person because
Speaker 1: we do know their email address. I'm in contact with
Speaker 1: this woman. I'm trying to help it because this is
Speaker 1: why we're talking about it. I want to find this woman.
Speaker 1: It is also going viral on a community Facebook page.
Speaker 1: It was posted thousands of comments, someone saying this is
Speaker 1: romance at its best. I hope serendipity brings them together.
Speaker 2: No, it's not romance.
Speaker 4: Someone else says, sorry, sounds creepy to me. I hope
Speaker 4: she stays away from this shallow person.
Speaker 3: Now I'm going to chime in here. I don't think
Speaker 3: this is creepy. I think this is pretty sweet. I
Speaker 3: think this is old school. I think it's romantic because
Speaker 3: the person it's not creepy. She's not following a home.
Speaker 3: If she really feels like they had a moment, how
Speaker 3: else are you going to reach out to that person?
Speaker 4: What if this is her person and she never knows.
Speaker 4: I think it's okay.
Speaker 2: I just I don't know. I feel like there's so
Speaker 2: many people out there that it kind of is a
Speaker 2: little bit obsessive that you just saw someone standing on
Speaker 2: the side of a sidewalk that you then went and
Speaker 2: made a poster and put it there for them to
Speaker 2: see it, hoping that they're going to trace their steps
Speaker 2: or something. I don't know. I feel like it's a
Speaker 2: little bit clingy for such a missed opportunity I.
Speaker 1: Think it's also so sad because the odds of them
Speaker 1: not seeing that poster are very high. But the fact
Speaker 1: that it's now gone viral online and they still haven't
Speaker 1: reached out because.
Speaker 2: They didn't have a moment. No, maybe that's exactly right.
Speaker 1: I think the pale haired girl in with pink hair
Speaker 1: and the leopards and the leopard shirt has seen this,
Speaker 1: but she doesn't think they will.
Speaker 3: I don't think she's seen it. I do not think
Speaker 3: she's seen it, but I think she is going to
Speaker 3: because of people like us.
Speaker 1: We're talking about it, how viral is going online.
Speaker 4: But what is wrong with I'm sorry, Maybe it's just me.
Speaker 3: I shoot my shot. I'm about shooting my shot. This
Speaker 3: woman has shot her shot, and good on her, is
Speaker 3: what I say.
Speaker 2: I don't have anything against shooting a shot.
Speaker 4: I don't think you do, Laura.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 2: I just think getting obsessed with someone it's not obsessed
Speaker 2: a little bit obsessed with someone who you saw purely
Speaker 2: just by driving past and when they were stood at
Speaker 2: a traffic light, and maybe they you got eye contact
Speaker 2: or something. I think you're putting a lot eggs in
Speaker 2: a basket when maybe that other person had absolutely no moment. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there was no moment.
Speaker 1: It's psychopathic.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: I have a friend that was at a bus. Australian
Speaker 3: was at a bus stop in bus Alona. There was
Speaker 3: an American on the other side of the road at
Speaker 3: the bus stop. They looked at each other for five seconds,
Speaker 3: didn't know each other. Bus came, the American got on,
Speaker 3: the bus, drove off. They didn't see each other. That
Speaker 3: they had a moment.
Speaker 4: That was it.
Speaker 3: They didn't see each other. They ran into each other
Speaker 3: in another country two years later, and they got married
Speaker 3: from that moment, and they both had said, if I
Speaker 3: could have found you, I would have. So this woman
Speaker 3: that is with a pale pink care that is looking
Speaker 3: I think is brilliant.
Speaker 2: They did not get married from that moment. They got
Speaker 2: married because they had mutual things in common and had
Speaker 2: shared interest and cared about each other. But they tried
Speaker 2: to find each other.
Speaker 4: It's my point, from that moment.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of people on buses that have
Speaker 1: tried to have moments with me and they've just ended
Speaker 1: up vomiting on my ship. We've all been there. People
Speaker 1: and buses are lovely, but there's always that one person
Speaker 1: that's like is they're not going anywhere. They're just on
Speaker 1: the bus for the joy of riding the bus.
Speaker 2: To try to have a moment with you.
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm on the wrong busses man, a moment with me.
Speaker 1: Okay, well listen, if we get the updates time the investigation,
Speaker 1: we'll keep you updated. But next on the show, Laura,
Speaker 1: you finally and come on, Britt, clap your hands. She's
Speaker 1: finally got laser hair removal. We begged her.
Speaker 3: I've been bringing the chainsaw in every day and I've
Speaker 3: been begging, like whip a snipper.
Speaker 2: It now got your laser. Yeah. Look, I also had
Speaker 2: a moment. It didn't go to plan.
Speaker 1: It never does that story. Next of a pickup, You're
Speaker 1: on the pick up, Britt, Laura and Mitch Hi get
Speaker 1: ahead of the spread of this flu season with annual
Speaker 1: flu vaccinations available at Chemists Warehouse only nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 2: Now, Britt, you have been this is something you've been
Speaker 2: telling me for a long time. It's something that's come
Speaker 2: up in our friendship for literally years.
Speaker 1: What to wear deodorant? Please?
Speaker 2: Why do you why I would you do that?
Speaker 1: Sorry, concern for one of the issues.
Speaker 2: No, I mean it does have to do with my
Speaker 2: body functions. But it's not that. So you have been
Speaker 2: trying to convince me that I should stop waxing, I
Speaker 2: should stop shaving, and I should go and get laser
Speaker 2: hair removal.
Speaker 3: Yes, which is funny because I actually need to go
Speaker 3: get it myself.
Speaker 4: I've been pushing you.
Speaker 1: To get it, but I haven't had a fee the benefits.
Speaker 2: But once you'd had it a few times, you're then
Speaker 2: bull turkey n you got.
Speaker 3: To keep it up otherwise, like you got to do maintenance.
Speaker 3: Otherwise over these it comes back. So mine, my maintenance
Speaker 3: went out the window. Oh but did you go try it?
Speaker 2: Okay? So look it didn't go exactly to plans. So
Speaker 2: I found a really good deal and there was a
Speaker 2: special that was happening, and that's why I was like,
Speaker 2: you know what, today's the day we love a group on.
Speaker 2: So I bought a pack of three because it was
Speaker 2: like if you buy three, you've got a discount. It
Speaker 2: was almost like the third visit.
Speaker 1: Well, buy one shoulder, get the other free.
Speaker 2: No body part. You bought three sessions of laser removal
Speaker 2: and then you got like, you know, a discount. Think
Speaker 2: it was almost like a third of the price. Off
Speaker 2: like one appointment was free.
Speaker 1: Basically is one session on the spot enough to do it? No,
Speaker 1: you need to get heats.
Speaker 2: So and let's be specific. I'm talking about Mark Bikini
Speaker 2: line ladies and gentlemen. Is so you know, going a
Speaker 2: bowl turkey anyway, that's probably too much information.
Speaker 1: Gobble a chicken anyway.
Speaker 2: Can read for Thanksgiving in October Lucky Matthew Johnson. So, okay,
Speaker 2: I bought the I bought the package. I got the
Speaker 2: set of three. But the deal with it was is
Speaker 2: that if you cancel your booking within less than twenty
Speaker 2: four hours, you lose your entire appointment. So you can't
Speaker 2: reschedule it. You lose the money.
Speaker 1: It's normal.
Speaker 2: So I made the booking and I went in and
Speaker 2: you have to like you know, you have to shave,
Speaker 2: you have to prepare before you go in. So did
Speaker 2: everything I was told to do and I get in
Speaker 2: there and the woman was like, oh, you've got quite
Speaker 2: a tan. So nobody told me that you can't go
Speaker 2: to laser hair removal and have a tan, because if
Speaker 2: you have any sort of tan, the laser picks up
Speaker 2: the melonin in your skin and then it can create
Speaker 2: like hyperpigmentation and stuff. It can damage your skin. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you shouldn't be getting it. Yeah. So she was like, well,
Speaker 2: what would you like to do, because if you leave,
Speaker 2: you obviously lose the money that you've put into your
Speaker 2: first appointment. So I got laser removal, but only on
Speaker 2: the part that was not tanned, and now it has sideburns.
Speaker 3: So what do you mean You just got their part
Speaker 3: you can't see, and you left the part that you
Speaker 3: actually needed to be done.
Speaker 4: You did the reverse bermoda triangle I got.
Speaker 2: I got the triangle laser, but then I was like,
Speaker 2: I'll just come back for the side.
Speaker 1: You got curtain bangs downstairs, you.
Speaker 4: Got, I have a fringe, you got side burns.
Speaker 2: You show us you comfortable, No too much, but pretty
Speaker 2: much everything that you would normally remove to go to
Speaker 2: the beach is still there.
Speaker 3: Just the middle fires gonyone. Lucky you're on the dating
Speaker 3: scene anymore, you would not be only need to get far.
Speaker 3: Trust me, I didn't get far with that when I
Speaker 3: showed him the afternoon.
Speaker 1: I've got a handle bars down there, that's a double
Speaker 1: landing strip.
Speaker 4: Oh you can try again next time.
Speaker 2: Well, I know in the next appointment, I have to
Speaker 2: go and just get the reverse done to try.
Speaker 1: And even it back up.
Speaker 2: Now, guys, try, that's all that matters.
Speaker 4: It's a thought the count. Well, the reverse for me
Speaker 4: to triangle is now trendy.
Speaker 1: That's yeah, it's a new fad. Will and what are
Speaker 1: your up next? To drive you home? We're going to
Speaker 1: get out of here. On that note, we'll see you
Speaker 1: tomorrow for Friday by
