Speaker 2: birth I was wondering what you had ce put it
Speaker 2: that way, but also this is the day that we've
Speaker 2: all been waiting for for the past No, we've been
Speaker 2: waiting for it because and there was no way that
Speaker 2: we were ever going to forget. Not that we would
Speaker 2: because we love you, but we didn't have a chance
Speaker 2: of forgetting because we have been reminded every single show now.
Speaker 4: We absolutely would have forgotten.
Speaker 1: If Misch didn remind us all of last week, you
Speaker 1: absolutely would not have known it was Mitch's birth Can
Speaker 1: I say.
Speaker 3: Laura sent a message, but it wasn't happy birthday, darling,
Speaker 3: best friend, love you. It was mitch birthday tomorrow, and
Speaker 3: I swear she meant to type it into reminders, but
Speaker 3: she accidentally said I.

Speaker 3: I had?
Speaker 4: This was for them keep in your bedroom.
Speaker 3: That was a big debate. Now it's in the kitchen.
Speaker 3: But mom and dad said, you know, we we'll keep
Speaker 3: this when you move out, like it's a gift to you.
Speaker 3: Then when you keep it away, that's not how that works.
Speaker 4: That's not a gift.
Speaker 2: No, how does it feel in your last year in
Speaker 2: your twenties?
Speaker 3: I bring that up? That's that's sad.
Speaker 2: You're forging headfirst into your thirties.
Speaker 1: It's not sad, bitch, like life begins at thirty.
Speaker 4: Everyone says that I made that quote up.
Speaker 1: Laura and I only went on a Bachelor at thirty.
Speaker 1: Think of how long ago that was. We were thirty
Speaker 1: when we started that, like new adventure.
Speaker 3: Really, that's actually a good perspective, not to.
Speaker 4: Make your birthday about me. But yeah, so.
Speaker 3: I might go on mass next year and then at all.
Speaker 3: But I already got a radio show. How does that work?
Speaker 3: I've already got one.
Speaker 4: A few more Instagram followers though we're always gargan for those.

Speaker 4: MoU Dang?
Speaker 3: Next, pickup put Down. Welcome to a Monday Midstree Birthday special,
Speaker 3: you idiot.
Speaker 2: Today is a real celebration and the reason for that
Speaker 2: is because it's Mistrue's birthday. Also because we're doing what
Speaker 2: we do every.
Speaker 3: Monday Oh my god. Yeah, well giving me a gift.
Speaker 4: Now the pickup put down?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we're doing this. Everybody welcome, pick up down. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I'm going to bring the girls a topic that the
Speaker 3: internet the world are talking about over the weekend. And
Speaker 3: then you need to decide Britain, Laura, if we keep
Speaker 3: talking about it into the week or we put it
Speaker 3: down and never speak on it again.
Speaker 4: What have you got for us today?
Speaker 3: Mitch Big One's Katie Perry's performance at the AFL Grand
Speaker 3: Final over the weekend.
Speaker 4: Pick up from what I saw? Oh I didn't. Okay,
Speaker 4: is it controversial to say I didn't watch it.
Speaker 2: I watched little snippets on social media, but I didn't
Speaker 2: see I missed her performance.
Speaker 4: I was running around at kid bedtime.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a bit of criticism about a song choice
Speaker 3: and that it felt too the stadium felt too big
Speaker 3: for the performance. She was swallowed by the arena.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 2: I think it's very challenging being a woman and doing
Speaker 2: that job because like, technically, there's a lot more men
Speaker 2: in the audience than there are women. I'm not saying
Speaker 2: that women don't love football, of course they do, but
Speaker 2: I think that it's quite hard being a female on
Speaker 2: stage doing that performance, there's always backlash, even tones and
Speaker 2: I who we all love. She got up on social
Speaker 2: media and was saying, oh, once again, you know, a
Speaker 2: female performing and the criticism comes flooding in.
Speaker 4: Enough of it. I love so much that she had.
Speaker 1: Part of her performance was like one hundred people that
Speaker 1: had these big silver inflatbleed doughnut things and there was
Speaker 1: one person that didn't. They were dancing with it, ones deflated.
Speaker 1: Watching them try and run around. The highlight reel of
Speaker 1: the doughnut that wasn't inflated is hilarious and it was
Speaker 1: giving Left Shark remember a.
Speaker 3: Couple of years ago that her Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: It was the same song, exactly the same thing. It
Speaker 1: is the modern day Left.
Speaker 3: Had her team. Yeah, I think her team.
Speaker 4: Phenomenon Mara I missed it completely trending.
Speaker 3: Producer Grace was soggy. Balloon didn't trend tread.
Speaker 2: I like the perseverance though of the person who's got
Speaker 2: the flaccid balloon that's running around like you was just
Speaker 2: I think you'd run off, wouldn't you.
Speaker 3: You'd be like because then people would watch because it's
Speaker 3: the biggest stadium in Australia you'd watch this flaccert silver
Speaker 3: condom run from the center of the stage right and all.
Speaker 1: It made it so heavy the poor person was like
Speaker 1: carrying it was like carrying a weighted vest trying to
Speaker 1: run around a kippo.
Speaker 3: It's so funny, all right, Moving on, Moving on, Pick up,
Speaker 3: put down Moodang and the rise of the famous animal.
Speaker 4: Pick it up.
Speaker 2: If you haven't heard of Mudang. Moudang is a beautiful
Speaker 2: pygmy hippo. Is it a pigmy hipper who likes to
Speaker 2: chomp on the water coming out of a hose and
Speaker 2: just runs around being joyful and full of glee. And
Speaker 2: it is the cutest thing that's ever taken the Internet
Speaker 2: by storm.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Britt, you love Mudang.
Speaker 4: I don't know a person out there that couldn't love Mudang.
Speaker 2: Although controversial, Moodang also has an older sister and an
Speaker 2: older brother who they're not getting as much Hoodang.
Speaker 4: They're not getting as much at time. And they're so
Speaker 4: cute too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, spread the love out. Are they in China? I
Speaker 3: believe they're in China. Two and they're in Thailand. They're
Speaker 3: in Thailand and they are gorgeous, and the Internet loved
Speaker 3: them because Mudang doesn't have a filter. Mudang speaks her
Speaker 3: mind and Mudang is a her. We need to get
Speaker 3: Moodang's pronouns correct.
Speaker 4: Do we need to get mudangs?
Speaker 3: Yeah, because people are calling Mudang he and mood is
Speaker 3: a young, empowered, young pigmy woman.
Speaker 4: She's not a woman, she's an elpha. She's a hippopotamus.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but she also doesn't know what people are saying
Speaker 1: because she's a hippo.
Speaker 4: Well look, Moodang is really a sensation. I love her
Speaker 4: very much.
Speaker 3: I just did some research for the first time in
Speaker 3: our career and there are actually many famous animals. Number
Speaker 3: one Pesto, the giant emperor penguin in Melbourne. Katie Perry
Speaker 3: herself visited him this weekend.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, the cutest thing you've ever seen, guys.
Speaker 2: I just went to the reptile Park on the weekend.
Speaker 4: Very exciting.
Speaker 2: There's a really famous crocodile there called Elvis the crocodile.
Speaker 2: I feel like Elvis needs to go viral. Very cranky.
Speaker 2: Apparently he's Australia's crankiest crocodile. But he's humongous. And now
Speaker 2: I have a real phobia of crocodiles.
Speaker 3: Dolly the sheep, who's Dolly?
Speaker 4: Dolly was the clone sheep? Wasn't she the first sheep
Speaker 4: to ever be cloned?
Speaker 3: You're right?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Or what about Jonathan? The world's older slaving animal is
Speaker 3: a tortoise and he's also gay.
Speaker 4: I think he's like a hundred Yeah, No.
Speaker 3: He's one hundred and forty.
Speaker 2: I think, why do you know that much? And how
Speaker 2: does one know that a turtle's gay?
Speaker 4: The same sex?
Speaker 3: Yeah, he told us his mate for life. It also
Speaker 3: takes about a month to actually keep going. But he
Speaker 3: mates with only men.
Speaker 4: Wow, that's cool.
Speaker 3: I've never real animal more in my life.
Speaker 4: Just really slow moving my birthday, Yeah, really and really slow.
Speaker 3: Oh you got to laugh.
Speaker 2: Well, look, speaking of animals and reptile parks, that was
Speaker 2: my weekend.
Speaker 4: I did go to a reptile park.
Speaker 2: And I think, as a parent, you always worry about
Speaker 2: how you're going to mess up your own children and
Speaker 2: traumatize them and create like long stemming issues that you're
Speaker 2: going to have to pay.
Speaker 4: For their therapy.
Speaker 2: You don't really think about how you might do that
Speaker 2: to someone else's child.
Speaker 4: That's what happened to me this week.
Speaker 3: Self awareness that it's best, all right, that's next, other.
Speaker 4: Pick up guys.
Speaker 2: I had such a great weekend, like truly one for
Speaker 2: the agents.
Speaker 4: I love that for you, thank you for leting.
Speaker 3: You know with the radio show. Sometimes you plan things
Speaker 3: out and you come with ideas and.
Speaker 2: No I went to Okay, well it wasn't idea. I
Speaker 2: went to a reptile park this weekend, and do you
Speaker 2: know why it was so good? I know kids like
Speaker 2: reptile parks, but I think it's like underrated for adults.
Speaker 2: I love a reptile park. I'm so interested in the
Speaker 2: facts about animals. I love how excited my kids get
Speaker 2: when we get there.
Speaker 4: I like snakes, I like lizards like I had a
Speaker 4: hell of a time.
Speaker 2: And Marley May, my five year old, she loves it too,
Speaker 2: Like she will run up to if there's a person there,
Speaker 2: like one of the park.
Speaker 4: Was to call them a park guard.
Speaker 2: They called a pack of park ranging char and they
Speaker 2: have a python.
Speaker 4: Keeper zoo keeper. Thank you God. I feel like I
Speaker 4: was playing a game of charades just there.
Speaker 2: Mary will run up, she will hold the snake, she'll
Speaker 2: wrap it around her like she is so she's such
Speaker 2: a little animal lover and she loves animal facts as well,
Speaker 2: and so I just assume that other kids are the
Speaker 2: same as my kids, Like I forget that other kids
Speaker 2: get scared of things, because my little Marley, she's so brave,
Speaker 2: like weirdly brave. Anyway, we're walking through the bar, we're
Speaker 2: walking through the park, and this is not just a
Speaker 2: reptile park.
Speaker 4: There's other animals there.
Speaker 2: It's like a kind of like an Australiana zoo, right,
Speaker 2: And there's this one enclosure that has the cassuary bird.
Speaker 3: I think it's Cassowary is.
Speaker 4: Saying Cashuary the whole day, and I just let it go.
Speaker 4: But it's cassery wary.
Speaker 2: Of the cashews. It's a cassuary casar Cassowary. Okay, let's
Speaker 2: not get hung up on matuary. So we were there
Speaker 2: at the cashuary and this big bird comes out of
Speaker 2: the bushes and the closure is enclosure is quite overgrown,
Speaker 2: like all the other enclosures are really well maintained and beautiful,
Speaker 2: and this one it was quite bushy.
Speaker 4: You couldn't see in as well.
Speaker 2: But then all of a sudden, this big bird comes
Speaker 2: out through a little clearing in the bushes and I'm
Speaker 2: there with Marley and Lola, and we're also there with
Speaker 2: two of our friend's children, so Oscar and Macy there
Speaker 2: they're quite little as well. And this bird comes out
Speaker 2: and all the kids are fascinated, and I was like, look, guys,
Speaker 2: that's a casshuary.
Speaker 3: Well, god, your kids are illiterate. Now that's a cassuary.
Speaker 2: I was like, did you know that they're actually really dangerous.
Speaker 2: That's a really dangerous bird. They can kill people, they
Speaker 2: can disembeal you. I didn't say the word disinmbel. I
Speaker 2: thought that might be a bit much for a five
Speaker 2: year old, but too much.
Speaker 4: I'm kill people.
Speaker 2: So you know, we don't we don't go near too
Speaker 2: close to this enclosure.
Speaker 4: I you know, it's fine. There's a big distance between it.
Speaker 2: And I kind of explained a little bit about the
Speaker 2: bird and how they had big talons.
Speaker 4: So off we go. We'd had a lovely day of
Speaker 4: the zoo.
Speaker 2: We all go home, like, I didn't think anything more
Speaker 2: of it, Like, and we're all staying together, this other
Speaker 2: family and us, we're all staying in the house together.
Speaker 2: We had a little weekend away. So the next morning
Speaker 2: we get up and I'm in the kitchen making breakfast,
Speaker 2: and then April and Ash, who are the parents of Oscar,
Speaker 2: they come upstairs and.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, hey, guys, like, how did you
Speaker 4: sleep last night?
Speaker 2: And they look at me and they go, well, we
Speaker 2: didn't sleep last night because Oscar is afraid that a
Speaker 2: cassuary is going to come into the bedroom and kill him.
Speaker 4: I created a deep.
Speaker 2: Fear in this little four year old that he's going
Speaker 2: to be disinmbowed cassuary.
Speaker 4: And here I was just thinking, I was spitting facts.
Speaker 4: It is fair.
Speaker 1: It's like a bird that comes out and you're like,
Speaker 1: don't go close, it will kill you.
Speaker 4: The kids fall. Yeah, I didn't think that through. You
Speaker 4: often think about how.
Speaker 2: You're going to traumatize your own children in this life,
Speaker 2: but you don't think about how you're traumatizing other people's children.
Speaker 3: But my favorite thing is how hardened on your kids are.
Speaker 3: They're like two sailors at a pub. They've just they've
Speaker 3: just done a forty mile trek across the Atlantic Ocean.
Speaker 3: They sit there drinking guinness and stuff. The other kids
Speaker 3: are crying, eating their chicken nuggets. Your kids are just there.
Speaker 3: Ate my first.
Speaker 1: Casuty, where these cactuaries are capable of.
Speaker 3: Have been disted minute done before. You're sorry, we're all
Speaker 3: illiterate on this show.
Speaker 4: No I'm not.
Speaker 3: Don't you group me? All right? Be careful, Okay, you're
Speaker 3: you're a powerful person in influence.
Speaker 4: I am that parent. I looked over.
Speaker 2: I was pattern of kangaro At one point I looked
Speaker 2: over and Mary May was trying to climb over into
Speaker 2: the enclosure with the turtle.
Speaker 4: No, the tortoise.
Speaker 3: You wouldn't like that, miss, Oh yes, I would have
Speaker 3: loved it. Did you say chorten?
Speaker 1: All right, I want to change the tone here. I
Speaker 1: want to talk about something that is setting the internet alight.
Speaker 1: Margot Robbie inadvertently has caused a bit of a storm online.
Speaker 4: It's made a lot of people angry, including myself. You're
Speaker 4: talk about it.
Speaker 3: I've saying that all right. Next on the pickup Monday
Speaker 3: afternoon with the Goals and me.
Speaker 4: It's been Mitch's birthday all day.
Speaker 3: Thanks for bringing it up. It's my birthday. Send me
Speaker 3: a DM.
Speaker 1: Hey, I want to talk to you about online trolls,
Speaker 1: not the trolls that are trolling Mitch for his birthday.
Speaker 4: Like, let's not talk about those. Margo Robbie a couple.
Speaker 1: Of months ago, we saw her off the back of Barbie.
Speaker 1: She was touched as the most beautiful woman on the world,
Speaker 1: like people were singing her praises. There was a lot
Speaker 1: of kickoff when people started to assume that she was
Speaker 1: pregnant because she never announced it, but she had like
Speaker 1: this tiny little belly that could have been a big
Speaker 1: passer or could have been a baby, and.
Speaker 2: They were all pat photos at the time that was
Speaker 2: coming out. Wasn't like she'd announced her pregnancy. There was
Speaker 2: just like, is that a pregnancy bum?
Speaker 3: Was that awkward size? Bloating a child?
Speaker 1: So now there's this same conversation happening around Margot's body.
Speaker 1: I don't think she's actually confirmed she's heavily pregnant, Like
Speaker 1: it's there is no denying she's heavily pregnant.
Speaker 4: Again, she hasn't put any photos out.
Speaker 1: The paparazzi photos have come out of her with her
Speaker 1: husband on holiday in a bikini living her best life
Speaker 1: is the best.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I've seen them. I saw the articles as well, and.
Speaker 4: She looks stunning.
Speaker 1: Anyway, the conversation that has been happening online about her
Speaker 1: body is absolutely disgusting. So there's an influencer, Alex Light,
Speaker 1: who has sort of done a story on this herself
Speaker 1: which has gone viral. I just want to play you
Speaker 1: some of it because she talks about what men are saying.
Speaker 4: Margo blobby her husband for messing that up. She was
Speaker 4: a nine before and now a solid five.
Speaker 1: Body is clearly destroyed, but the beauty of life is
Speaker 1: on parallels.
Speaker 3: That comment gave me whiplash.
Speaker 4: She's got the why pregnancy knows now definitely over For
Speaker 4: Harley Quinn, I would never let my girl get that
Speaker 4: big when she gets pregnant.
Speaker 2: Got to never let my girl get that big when
Speaker 2: she's pregnant.
Speaker 3: Like you get to say, willing to place a bit
Speaker 3: that they don't have a girl, yeah girl.
Speaker 2: Look, I mean it should go without saying, but unfortunately
Speaker 2: it should be said. There should be one time in
Speaker 2: a woman's life at least where all bets are off
Speaker 2: when it comes to making any comments around their body.
Speaker 2: But unfortunately, during pregnancy it seems like it's the one
Speaker 2: time where people feel like it's almost an allowance to
Speaker 2: make comments, whether it's oh my god, you're so small
Speaker 2: for being pregnant, or or like wow, like are you
Speaker 2: sure you're got twins in there, Like people always comment
Speaker 2: on pregnant women's bodies, whether it's trying to be positive
Speaker 2: or very very negative as in this case. And it's like,
Speaker 2: so much happens to your body when you're pregnant that
Speaker 2: you just can't control. You can't control the way it gain,
Speaker 2: you can't control your nose getting wider. You can't control
Speaker 2: the Varka's veins or the malasma or all these other things.
Speaker 2: And I think like people already feel self conscious enough
Speaker 2: to have to read comments like that about yourself.
Speaker 4: It's just so discussed.
Speaker 3: When you had babies, because she would be the public eye.
Speaker 4: I had the opposite.
Speaker 2: And now this is not to me be like, oh,
Speaker 2: I was so small when I was pregnant. I had
Speaker 2: quite a small baby bump with Marley, especially at the start,
Speaker 2: and a lot of people would say to me, oh, wow,
Speaker 2: you're so small, Like god, you can barely tell that
Speaker 2: you're pregnant. And that bred such a deep insecurity in
Speaker 2: me because I got pregnant with Maley off the back
Speaker 2: of a miscarriage, and so she was sizing small, like
Speaker 2: a month smaller than what was like normal range, and
Speaker 2: so they were keeping close eye from it, so I
Speaker 2: really had it in my head that I was going
Speaker 2: to have another miscarriage. So every time someone would say
Speaker 2: that to me, especially other women who had had babies,
Speaker 2: how little I was, it really made me so fearful
Speaker 2: that something was wrong. So I just think, even if
Speaker 2: it's meant to be kind commentary, we don't need to
Speaker 2: comment on women's bodies during pregnancy at all, And this
Speaker 2: is certainly anything but kind commentary.
Speaker 4: But it's just doubling down on how much women can't
Speaker 4: win at any point of their life, in any capacity.
Speaker 1: If we age gracefully, all of a sudden, we're old
Speaker 1: and ugly and where it had been. But if we
Speaker 1: get work done to maintain the youth that everyone wants,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, we're trying too hard and we're overdone.
Speaker 4: You look weird. If you carry your baby all of
Speaker 4: a sudden, you're ruined.
Speaker 1: But if you don't carry your baby and you need
Speaker 1: to adopt, you have a surrogate, you're lazy and selfish.
Speaker 1: If you don't have kids at all, then what are
Speaker 1: you contributing to society? Crazy, crazy cat lady. There is
Speaker 1: absolutely no way, at any time of life anymore that
Speaker 1: we can win.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it just really does show that there
Speaker 2: are people out there who have the most revolting perspectives
Speaker 2: and opinions on women's bodies.
Speaker 4: And look at us. Look glorious, she looks. Just shut up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, angry Mitch, you can finish the show.
Speaker 4: But to every other troll out there, shut up.
Speaker 3: Good good advice. All right, we are done, just leaving
Speaker 3: room for the present if you want to give it
Speaker 3: to me now it's coming.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean, happy birthday, Mitch. Your present is
Speaker 4: our presence.
Speaker 3: Oh gorgeous.
Speaker 4: We're here for you. You didn't actually tell us what
Speaker 4: did you get today? What did your boyfriend Stephen give you?
Speaker 3: I You've got me some jewely and we went and
Speaker 3: got a love steak dinner.
Speaker 4: You got your in jwely he brought from training. Mate
Speaker 4: wasn't unfortunately wasn't.
Speaker 3: He didn't message you about it.
Speaker 4: But anyway, look, guys, let's get out of here. What
Speaker 4: are you gonna be driving your arms?
Speaker 3: Yeah, to borrow every wrong.
Speaker 4: Goodbye, Hey you guys,
