Speaker 1: Come on in.
Speaker 2: Hello everybody, Thursday afternoon, welcome to the pickup. We're on.
Speaker 2: We are sadly on.
Speaker 3: Thanks for that clarification, fair.
Speaker 4: I almost didn't make it here today, and that's because
Speaker 4: I couldn't find my khaki. So I was like running
Speaker 4: a little bit late, a little bit late, I'm sure,
Speaker 4: running out the door half find my car keys. I
Speaker 4: put them on the table. I know where I put
Speaker 4: them because I do put them in the same spot.
Speaker 3: My husband doesn't, but I do.
Speaker 4: Anyway, fifteen minutes later, I couldn't find them, and then Lola,
Speaker 4: who is three years old currently told me exactly where
Speaker 4: she'd seen them, and that was in the toilet and
Speaker 4: she had put them in the toilet.
Speaker 1: But don't you have an electric one like with the
Speaker 1: like the what.
Speaker 5: Do you mean the car kis? Does that not break
Speaker 5: it when in water? Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, no it was fine. Let's still worry it.
Speaker 3: I drove here today, so Laura's carr is water.
Speaker 2: How do you discipline a kid in that situation? I
Speaker 2: would have been smacked yet No, I'm not saying do it,
Speaker 2: but back in my day, I would have been in
Speaker 2: so much trouble.
Speaker 4: What do you say I'm just grateful that she's at
Speaker 4: least at the age now where she's like she's competent
Speaker 4: and like cognizant enough that she knows what she's done.
Speaker 4: So when I asked her, she was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 4: I put them in the toilet.
Speaker 2: I need this new age parenting. She's not even mad,
Speaker 2: she went, In fact, I'm proud of you for doing this.
Speaker 3: You get a participation.
Speaker 4: I did say, I did tell her that that was naughty,
Speaker 4: but she wasn't trying to be naughty of course.
Speaker 1: Oh guys, we have a huge show coming up. We
Speaker 1: haven't asked gun cut. We do it every single Thursday.
Speaker 1: We answer one of your problems and we have one
Speaker 1: surrounding veneers today, one we've.
Speaker 2: Never had before. Yeah, and ask I cut next stand by.
Speaker 2: We're helping out the audience after this on the pickup.
Speaker 2: It's a Thursday. Let's jump into.
Speaker 1: Ask Ask Gunhart is one of our favorite segments. We
Speaker 1: do it every Thursday. We call it Therapy Thursday.
Speaker 3: Basically, you call in with.
Speaker 1: Your biggest predicaments, your deepest, darkest problems. We do our
Speaker 1: best to give you completely uneducated advice, but we're very
Speaker 1: passionate about it.
Speaker 2: Well, Luisa, you need some advice. You've come to the
Speaker 2: right place, grew therapy. The pickup is where people come.
Speaker 2: How can we help you? What's your con under him?
Speaker 6: So I've been with.
Speaker 7: My partner for a long time and everything in our
Speaker 7: relationship is fine. There's nothing wrong with him.
Speaker 6: We're very happy. The only thing is that he really
Speaker 6: wants vinears. He's always been very unhappy with his smile.
Speaker 6: And the thing is he wants veneers. They're very expensive
Speaker 6: and he thinks.
Speaker 7: That he should dip into our joint savings account to
Speaker 7: pay for them.
Speaker 3: Oh god, no, that's ah, that's a himn thing.
Speaker 2: Hold on, no, no, get the facts. How bad are
Speaker 2: his teeth? Since since you met him? Has he been
Speaker 2: an insecurity for him? Yeah?
Speaker 7: And look, so he doesn't smile in photos.
Speaker 2: But I don't look at.
Speaker 6: Him and think that it's bad. But it's something that.
Speaker 7: I think for him it's bad because, yeah, he doesn't
Speaker 7: smile in photos.
Speaker 6: It's something he's always been very self conscious about. And
Speaker 6: I do feel bad.
Speaker 7: Five years and is he the one? Oh, no question,
Speaker 7: he's the one. We're very happy together. The thing is,
Speaker 7: though without joint savings, we don't own our home, and.
Speaker 6: It would be I think probably smarter that we keep
Speaker 6: building for a deposit rather than dipping into it for
Speaker 6: something cosmetic. I think if he wants to do this,
Speaker 6: it almost has to be something he should pay for himself.
Speaker 3: How much how much divining is cost?
Speaker 2: Do we know?
Speaker 3: It's like looking at about yeah, okay.
Speaker 7: We're looking at about ten about ten thousand.
Speaker 4: Can you not split it down the middle and be like, okay,
Speaker 4: well we can put ten thousand dollars for your teeth
Speaker 4: in from the joint account, and then you've got to
Speaker 4: give me ten thousand dollars and I'll go do something
Speaker 4: with it that I want.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's not it's not two for two. You don't go, hey, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'll pay for two front teeth, you pay for two
Speaker 2: bottom times.
Speaker 1: I'm to suggest maybe getting the top row only, Okay, but.
Speaker 2: I mean that's idea.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very nonessent.
Speaker 4: Like I mean, I would say for other things, like
Speaker 4: you know, if it's a surgery or something you have
Speaker 4: to have of cause you're going to pay for your partner.
Speaker 3: But veniez, it's just cusmatic.
Speaker 1: Superficial agree for a lot of people. I mean, your
Speaker 1: smile and your teeth are. Like you said, he's so
Speaker 1: self conscious and he doesn't smile. It's a really big
Speaker 1: thing for a lot of people.
Speaker 2: I think it's look.
Speaker 1: For me, if I was with my partner for five
Speaker 1: years and we were getting married and it's something that
Speaker 1: made him deeply unhappy, I would probably be okay with
Speaker 1: it and think, Okay, maybe it takes us a little
Speaker 1: bit longer to get that renovation money if it's his
Speaker 1: day to day that he's living. But it's completely up
Speaker 1: to you. If you know that you don't want to
Speaker 1: do that, you just say that.
Speaker 3: But I don't know. I think five years and it's
Speaker 3: your partner.
Speaker 1: For me, i'd probably want to try and make my
Speaker 1: partner feel really happy. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I reckon individual choice.
Speaker 2: I reckon you can like split, don't dip into the
Speaker 2: whole funds and pay for the whole thing. I think
Speaker 2: he needs to pay for a chunk of it. But
Speaker 2: I also think have you considered him applying for married
Speaker 2: at First Sight? Because about it? Those contestants go on
Speaker 2: that show and what do they all come off with,
Speaker 2: No love, free dental work.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is very true. That's a good tactic. Or
Speaker 4: is there anything that you want to get done. Maybe
Speaker 4: you want to go and get something, but lifted you
Speaker 4: get a BBL.
Speaker 1: Don't it takes even more money away. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's like you get this, I get this. I think Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're just making him happy and making him smile as
Speaker 1: long as you say afraid to Yeah, and you put
Speaker 1: it in the eye you How bad are we talking?
Speaker 2: Can you send us a photo please? Producer Grace has
Speaker 2: a photo. Yeah, look at there? Pretty bad?
Speaker 7: Look at the ground that bad?
Speaker 5: Hey, guys, it's not about what you all think, it's
Speaker 5: about what he thinks.
Speaker 2: You know what they look like? They look like Patricia
Speaker 2: Quette from Medium, you know how the front two kind
Speaker 2: of and I'm not negging. I'm just saying for a
Speaker 2: visual for the listeners that the front two kind of
Speaker 2: come in like a funnel.
Speaker 4: I'm sure Patricia would think that you're negging her.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that's how the teeth look.
Speaker 1: For a visual for the audience, ask the dentist if
Speaker 1: you can do a payment plan, a long term payment,
Speaker 1: and I know a lot of them do it or
Speaker 1: get those you know those teeth? All right?
Speaker 4: So I completely put my foot in it yesterday and
Speaker 4: something happened, and I honestly I can't stop thinking about
Speaker 4: it because part of me feels bad.
Speaker 3: But also it's one of.
Speaker 4: Those situations where you're like, Oh, that could only happen
Speaker 4: to me.
Speaker 3: That could only happen to me?
Speaker 2: What did you do? You can be very blunt like
Speaker 2: in it we love you, but sometimes you deliver news.
Speaker 2: Would you agree with it? And Laura is straight to
Speaker 2: the point.
Speaker 5: Oh, yes, yeah you are. There's there's no buffer in
Speaker 5: a bad way or a good way. You go straight
Speaker 5: for the jugular. Did you people nibble?
Speaker 2: You're not afraid of confrontation, which I think I am.
Speaker 3: Though that's the problem.
Speaker 2: I don't think you are. Do you have a therapist?
Speaker 2: Part a recommend her word?
Speaker 1: So this this is the reason you hope made someone
Speaker 1: cry physically or emotionally.
Speaker 3: Definitely I'm not.
Speaker 4: I'm not physical when we talk about confrontation, not out
Speaker 4: like you.
Speaker 3: Like accillently trip someone over and they cried.
Speaker 4: I didn't actually go for the jugular. No, So yesterday
Speaker 4: we were on a photo shoot. No, I wasn't in
Speaker 4: the photo shoot. I was directing the photo shoot. So
Speaker 4: I have a jewlry label. Tony, may you know there
Speaker 4: you go bit of policity. But we had a photo
Speaker 4: shoot yesterday and and I get to be the creative
Speaker 4: director of these shoots and it's really fun and it's.
Speaker 3: A whole thing.
Speaker 4: Got the model, You've got your photographer, and you've got
Speaker 4: a whole team. There's about fifteen of us there. And
Speaker 4: the model comes in and I've worked with her before.
Speaker 4: She's like starting beautiful young girl. She's only like in
Speaker 4: her mid twenties, and she's usually really animated. But she
Speaker 4: was a bit flat. And I was like, ah, you know,
Speaker 4: we all have these days, Maria. No, you're not on
Speaker 4: your You're not on your best a game. And the
Speaker 4: problem was, though, is that this shoot, it wasn't just
Speaker 4: like a model like you know, striking blue steel posers.
Speaker 3: I needed her to be animated.
Speaker 4: I needed her to be excited and to like and
Speaker 4: be really expressive.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: So we get in there and we've done a few
Speaker 4: different looks and a few different.
Speaker 3: Shots, and I was like, oh God, she's just not
Speaker 3: We're not.
Speaker 4: Quite there, She's not quite getting it. So I was like, Okay,
Speaker 4: you know what I'll do. I'll call out different expressions
Speaker 4: for her to do. So I'm staying to the side
Speaker 4: and she's obviously there, you know, getting photos taken. I
Speaker 4: was like, so this is what we're gonna Dohnah. I'm
Speaker 4: going to call out an expression and you're going to
Speaker 4: act out that expression. So if I say happy, you're
Speaker 4: gonna be I know. It was it was like we're
Speaker 4: feeding it, okay. So I was like, okay, all right, everyone,
Speaker 4: so on the count of three, you're going to be shocked.
Speaker 4: And so then she did a really good job.
Speaker 2: She did a shock.
Speaker 3: In preschool, but it was great.
Speaker 4: It was great, and she really started to warm up
Speaker 4: and we were actually getting photos in the way that
Speaker 4: we needed them. But the photo that I needed was
Speaker 4: I didn't want her to be too over the top,
Speaker 4: like shocked or happy. I needed like a bit of
Speaker 4: a coy happy surprise look, which is a very specific
Speaker 4: kind of look that's hard to nail.
Speaker 2: You're a shocking director, you're like score sassy, like no
Speaker 2: one can do those right now for us, just like,
Speaker 2: how did you do that? Do it?
Speaker 3: It's like it's a close.
Speaker 2: See what just happened?
Speaker 4: It's like no, it's like you need to have a
Speaker 4: bit of a smise. You know, it's closed mouth, but
Speaker 4: it's a oh yeah, well, okay, give me your look
Speaker 4: no terrible as well.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 4: Anyway, so we started off with shocked. Shocked was a
Speaker 4: bit too expressive. Then I was like, okay, give me
Speaker 4: happy shocked, and she gives me happy shocked, and I
Speaker 4: was like, I was settled out very much, like, yeah,
Speaker 4: take the.
Speaker 3: Top off that one, all right.
Speaker 4: So we went through a couple of other expressions and
Speaker 4: she's getting there. She's warman up, she's a woman up.
Speaker 4: And I was like, all right, and now I've met
Speaker 4: this girl before. And also, when you're booking someone for
Speaker 4: a photo shoot, you usually stalk their social media first, right,
Speaker 4: So you go on you look at their social media
Speaker 4: because you don't want to just.
Speaker 3: Look at their model photos.
Speaker 4: You also want to look at the way that they
Speaker 4: shoot when they're just being candid, just to really get
Speaker 4: like the true look of what these people, you know,
Speaker 4: how they can be expressive. So I knew she's got
Speaker 4: a boyfriend. They've been here for ages, Like, he's beautiful.
Speaker 4: The two of them look like they've fallen out of
Speaker 4: the sun. They're so glorious together, right, So I was like, okay, honey,
Speaker 4: imagine imagine that your gorgeous boyfriend is about to propose
Speaker 4: and you know, but you're trying to keep the secret.
Speaker 3: And then she burst out crying, burst out crying, and
Speaker 3: I was like, that's that's not the expression that I
Speaker 3: need right now.
Speaker 4: He had broken up with her the day before, why
Speaker 4: because she couldn't express anything.
Speaker 3: She was dead inside.
Speaker 2: She was so ruidd You mean for a decade, you
Speaker 2: love him, you know his parents who've invested. He's proposing to.
Speaker 3: You fell from the sun.
Speaker 4: Imagine your glorious boyfriend is about to propose to you,
Speaker 4: and you have to pretend like you don't know.
Speaker 2: Did he did? What? What did she say? Did she
Speaker 2: tell you? How did you find that?
Speaker 3: She she kind of just went a bit madic.
Speaker 4: She started laughing for a second and then burst out crying,
Speaker 4: and I was like, something's gone terribly wrong here. But
Speaker 4: apparently they'd all been talking about it prior so the
Speaker 4: makeup artist they'd all had a massive conversation, but I
Speaker 4: was so.
Speaker 3: Busy prepping I just hadn't heard it and had no idea.
Speaker 3: So I just seemed like I.
Speaker 2: Was Laura's walking around like Demiro backstage, coming happy, sad, happy, sad, mad, mad,
Speaker 2: sad smiles coy and gets dump. Four models crying in
Speaker 2: the corner. Everyone's around, Laura's doing it, clown faces on.
Speaker 4: That horrible and we like sorry, well the worst part
Speaker 4: what I was I was, I was like, oh god,
Speaker 4: your bake cup's getting ruins, Like we're gonna have to
Speaker 4: stop down.
Speaker 3: It is so supad you're terrible.
Speaker 2: Hi, girls, how you feeling today?
Speaker 3: Great complaints so far?
Speaker 2: Can I get you? Guys? This might be traumatic and
Speaker 2: everyone listening listening in the car at home, I want
Speaker 2: you to cast your mind back to your ex'es, I
Speaker 2: the xes in your life. This might be traumatic and
Speaker 2: a PSA which this triggers you Australia.
Speaker 4: I've had enough therapy that this is not something I
Speaker 4: want to do. I don't want you undoing that therapy
Speaker 4: live on radio.
Speaker 2: Listen. There's a theory that is out that says everyone
Speaker 2: has an X that looks like this certain stereotype and
Speaker 2: they are the sexiest men we've all been within our life.
Speaker 2: I'm going to show you a photo and we'll post
Speaker 2: this on the pickup socials And I want you Britain
Speaker 2: Laura to answer me yes or no. Have you at
Speaker 2: one point in your life and were they sexy dated
Speaker 2: a man that looked like this. Yes, thank you, I
Speaker 2: knew it.
Speaker 3: Yes, No, I'm trying to study it.
Speaker 1: I just so you guys know, I'm looking at a
Speaker 1: cartoon It's like a cartoon rat with big ears.
Speaker 2: It's a cartoon rat from the hit series Flushed Away.
Speaker 2: And he is hot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you know what. I've never dated that.
Speaker 2: Yes, you have. I know your exes and you've you've
Speaker 2: had rat exes, but.
Speaker 4: My exes are all ethnic. He looks like a white
Speaker 4: rat rat rat. When we say rat, rat just sounds
Speaker 4: like negative, right. If you say it's a rat, No,
Speaker 4: it is. It's a cartoon rat. But if you say rat,
Speaker 4: most people in the cars would be thinking, oh, that's
Speaker 4: a negative connotation for it. For a human, that is
Speaker 4: a very endearing looking rat. And I would say that
Speaker 4: my ex who looks like that is very, very handsome.
Speaker 2: Correct. There's an article it's sitting on Pedestrian the term
Speaker 2: rat boyfriends hot hot boys can be rats. Like examples
Speaker 2: Kieran Colkan from Succession, He's a rat kind of man.
Speaker 2: Jeremy Allen White from The Bear, I.
Speaker 1: Don't even know he to be Fairs look a little
Speaker 1: bit like that picture. But have you seen his body
Speaker 1: in the Calvin Client campaign. But it doesn't matter about body,
Speaker 1: it it just does body is mad. But the rat comparison,
Speaker 1: Timothy Shallome, everyone is a hot rat.
Speaker 3: I'm going to show you a photo of my boyfriend
Speaker 3: right now and tell me what you think.
Speaker 2: Is it not him? Is it not the rat? This
Speaker 2: man would sit on a piece of Yelsberg cheese and
Speaker 2: nor nor nor, he'd have a little little hole in
Speaker 2: the bottom of the four boards. That's a rat.
Speaker 3: But he's so handsome.
Speaker 1: But he's going to show you the only person that
Speaker 1: I think could actually fall into that category.
Speaker 3: We need in the rats. It sounds very negative.
Speaker 7: Is hot?
Speaker 3: The person I'm showing you right now is a very
Speaker 3: good looking It's.
Speaker 2: Not it's an energy about the rat. It's they're hot.
Speaker 2: They're gorgeous. They're gorgeous.
Speaker 3: You want to have a littlenibble on them?

Speaker 2: photo of the pick up and I want it. We
Speaker 2: can put up a little compilation of the rats of past.

Speaker 4: you really need to see the visuals whilst we're all
Speaker 4: our ex boyfriends of rat.
Speaker 1: So the rat can I tell you the reason your
Speaker 1: picture looks so good is because he's got that rat
Speaker 1: has beautiful skin like and he's got very even features.

Speaker 3: in people.

Speaker 2: Are you across rat? F frog?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: Why am I a frog?
Speaker 2: Oh? This is so gen z you guys. It is
Speaker 2: essentially the theory that people fall into one of two categories,
Speaker 2: either rat or a frog. They look like a rat
Speaker 2: or a frog. Laura Ribbert, You're a frog, I'm a frog.
Speaker 2: BRIT's a rat. I mean, look, why am I Laura
Speaker 2: a frog and I'm a rat? You just can't go
Speaker 2: into it if you know, you know, it's just different features.
