Speaker 1: Laura, come on.
Speaker 2: Australia, Allo, everybody.
Speaker 3: Do you know what it's a good day when you
Speaker 3: arrive alive to work. Yes, it's a good day, Laura.
Speaker 3: I think that was Socrates said that was it? Okay,
Speaker 3: it wasn't Laura Bird of the pickup. Socrates and Laura
Speaker 3: Bird my two favorite philosophers, the modern day philosopher. Okay,
Speaker 3: I almost and I don't want to sound dramatic everyone,
Speaker 3: but I almost died on the way to work this morning.
Speaker 3: Jesus and the well, okay, just brace yourselfs all right,
Speaker 3: picture this. I just dropped the kids off at daycare,
Speaker 3: and I had a coffee in one hand, I had
Speaker 3: my phone in the other hand.
Speaker 2: I wasn't paying a lot of attention to the road.
Speaker 3: Now I don't recommend yes, but wait, it was a
Speaker 3: pedestrian crossing, and so, believe it or not, I kind
Speaker 3: of assume that when you approach a pedestrian crossing, cars stop.
Speaker 3: It's like the Red Sea. You think they're just gonna
Speaker 3: part ways for you to cross it. Anyway, I'm crossing
Speaker 3: the road and then out of my periphery, I just
Speaker 3: it feels like the car that's coming is coming too fast.
Speaker 4: Like, I was like, surely not driving.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like it's coming at me and I can see
Speaker 2: this is anyway.
Speaker 3: I look up and there it is, this ninety year
Speaker 3: old lady in a Mercedes with all her windows down,
Speaker 3: fanging it straight across a pitestri in crossing.
Speaker 2: And I was like, this is one of two things.
Speaker 3: She either probably shouldn't have a license, or she has
Speaker 3: such little time left she doesn't care.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like I'm not stopping for anyone. She's given up.
Speaker 5: Although that'd be a great eulogy Laura Burn take and
Speaker 5: a great Daily Mail article Laura Burn taken out by
Speaker 5: botox ridden ninety years old in Mercedes bed I.
Speaker 6: Can't see it and hasn't done a license retest in
Speaker 6: twenty five years.
Speaker 2: Laura, you can't just make assumptions like that.
Speaker 6: You can't just assume a car is going to stop,
Speaker 6: Like you can't have your head down in your phone
Speaker 6: and just be.
Speaker 2: Like, ah, I trust them.
Speaker 3: I thought you were gonna say, I can't make assumptions that
Speaker 3: she was an nice and I was like, yeah, that
Speaker 3: was a bit rough.
Speaker 4: She might have been eighty five, Yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 5: On the show today, speaking of near death experiences, Margo
Speaker 5: Robbie today and Greta Gerwick, the stars behind the Barbie movie.
Speaker 5: I mean their careers have almost died. The Oscar nominations
Speaker 5: have come out. They were snubbed. We have a lot
Speaker 5: to talk.
Speaker 2: About, Rob Margo, Robbie.
Speaker 5: That's good from you, brit Actually Margo Robi in Barbie.
Speaker 5: They got fried on the Barbie I don't know. The
Speaker 5: only way to get to the bottom of the Oscar
Speaker 5: nominations and the snubbery is to play the pick up, Favorite,
Speaker 5: pickup or put down. So we're going to start the
Speaker 5: show with that next right around Australia, Let's start the
Speaker 5: show now today. If you're not aware, the Academy have
Speaker 5: ruled their iron fist and the Oscar nominations are out
Speaker 5: for twenty twenty four or for the films we enjoyed
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty three. There is a lot of controversy
Speaker 5: online and we will get to the snubbery of it all.
Speaker 5: But we thought the only way to really tackle this
Speaker 5: head on is to play. Really in the political and
Speaker 5: cultural landscape of Australia, the pickup segment, Pickup put down
Speaker 5: is how the country decides what is right and what
Speaker 5: is wrong.
Speaker 3: That's absolutely the limus. It's kind of like rock paper
Speaker 3: scissors total.
Speaker 4: It's like the sixty minutes of the modern age.
Speaker 2: We are the law.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm gonna throw you some topics. Girls.
Speaker 5: It is your job to go pick up like you're
Speaker 5: into it or put down you hate it.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 5: Margo Robbie not getting a Best Actress nominations at the Oscars.
Speaker 3: What, Brittany, You can not sit on the fence, hick one, Brittany.
Speaker 3: It's one or the other.
Speaker 2: But I have great reasoning for both.
Speaker 5: Why because she was snubbed? Margot Robbie did not get nominated.
Speaker 5: Ryan Gosling famously did for his role as Can, but
Speaker 5: Barbie did not know it was her movie.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, this is where I'm sitting.
Speaker 6: I would normally say I would understand, and there wouldn't
Speaker 6: be so much uproar if she wasn't nominated, Because the Oscars,
Speaker 6: I feel like are the creme de la creme, right,
Speaker 6: Like we're talking Nicole Kidman, Julia Roberts, Kate Winslett, some
Speaker 6: of the Helen Mirren like.
Speaker 2: Huge, huge names.
Speaker 6: So if it was just that she wasn't nominated, wouldn't
Speaker 6: be the end of the world. I'd be like, Okay,
Speaker 6: you've got time, you're a great actress. But it's not
Speaker 6: the end of the world. The fact that makes this
Speaker 6: so shitty is that it's almost ironic that in a
Speaker 6: film about feminism that was the biggest grossing film of
Speaker 6: all time with Greta go Wing and Mungo Robbie, the
Speaker 6: person that was nominated was the man Ryan Gosling.
Speaker 2: That is where it is show. I completely agree.
Speaker 3: Also, Ryan has just come out and he said, of
Speaker 3: course he's happy about his own nomination, but he said,
Speaker 3: without Ken, there is no Barbie, which would mean that
Speaker 3: there is no Margo Robbie and she I think she
Speaker 3: did an amazing job.
Speaker 2: Look, I know, look, I'm not a movie buff.
Speaker 3: I don't know what constitutes great acting, but I think
Speaker 3: if you're going to have the highest grossing movie of
Speaker 3: the entire year, surely that makes you a half decent actress.
Speaker 5: No, I agree completely. And the snubbery of Gretagwig, I
Speaker 5: mean she put this on the map. That is the
Speaker 5: definition of brilliance in directing.
Speaker 4: Let's move on.
Speaker 5: Okay, what about this Oppenheimer getting third eighteen nominations?
Speaker 2: Pick Up, pick up. I haven't even watched it.
Speaker 3: Okay, I think I'm the only person in the whole
Speaker 3: country who hasn't seen the film yet, but I heard
Speaker 3: a lot about it, and apparently it's very good, So
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say it seems like it's well deserved.
Speaker 2: What do you think, Britte literally the same.
Speaker 6: I haven't seen it, but I've read a lot of
Speaker 6: articles saying it was brilliant.
Speaker 5: Okay, well, maybe this is where I can. I've watched it.
Speaker 5: It's about the creation of the atomic yeah, okay, and
Speaker 5: it was very cinematically good, but it just didn't have
Speaker 5: the cultural impact. So I think I think Barbie should
Speaker 5: have got more nominations than Oppenheimer. That's my hot tank.
Speaker 3: Do you think that this is a conspiracy, like the
Speaker 3: male films versus the female film Oh, of course, of course.
Speaker 4: There is one. Yeah, that is symptomatic of the whole industry.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think that's a conspiracy. Yeah, I think
Speaker 2: that's fact.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Martin Score says he becoming the oldest person to get
Speaker 5: nominated for Best Director at the ripe old age of
Speaker 5: eighty one.
Speaker 2: Pick up.
Speaker 3: But also, I think at eighty one it's okay to retire,
Speaker 3: Like if you want to take a break and have
Speaker 3: a nap, you're allowed to. I do not plan on
Speaker 3: doing anything that is that sensational when I'm eighty one.
Speaker 2: I'll be on holidays.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 6: I think it's absolutely incredible that people are kicking like
Speaker 6: the ultimate goal in their industry at that age in
Speaker 6: their eighties, when most people couldn't possibly dream of even
Speaker 6: being able to work in the industry.
Speaker 2: And he's like plucking the fruit from the top of
Speaker 2: the tree.
Speaker 4: I completely agree.
Speaker 5: My Olmer gets lost in the aisles of audi at
Speaker 5: eighty one, and if Martin Score says he can still
Speaker 5: get nominated for an Oscar, I'm all for that.
Speaker 3: I mean, there's a real discrepancy between an eighty one
Speaker 3: year old, isn't there. There's some that are still kicking goals,
Speaker 3: and then there's some people who are feeling a.
Speaker 5: Bit more elderly, and there's some that have a death
Speaker 5: wish out for Laura burn On the pedestrian crossings of
Speaker 5: the country.
Speaker 4: All right, everyone, Well, that's pick up put down.
Speaker 5: I think that segment is perfect to decide Australia's big moments.
Speaker 3: And what was the decision that we're completely sitting on
Speaker 3: the fence and that brute is not decisive?
Speaker 2: Is that what the decision was?
Speaker 4: We love Margot Robbie and we.
Speaker 2: Do love her anyway.
Speaker 3: Look, coming up, we have one thousand dollars to give
Speaker 3: away for Office Works and that is to one very
Speaker 3: lucky and also very smart little kid who can answer
Speaker 3: our quiz.
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you're a kid listening, you want a thousand
Speaker 5: bucks or back to school? Thirteen one oh six five
Speaker 5: calls on the pickup. Heye, listen, we are looking after you.
Speaker 5: If you're a kid listening or a parent, back to
Speaker 5: school's coming up real quick, very soon.
Speaker 4: Laurie, you know better than anyone. You've got two kids.
Speaker 3: I have two kids, but they're not in school. They're
Speaker 3: only in preschool, so they're not going back.
Speaker 2: Mitchie always say what someone has kids unless they're of
Speaker 2: school age, the whole school.
Speaker 5: I'm a different generation to you. Someone's got kids. I
Speaker 5: assume they're all doing this thing.
Speaker 2: Everyone.
Speaker 5: Yeah, anyway, listen, we know kids listening are going back
Speaker 5: to school. That's why we are doing this.
Speaker 4: Yes, we have a.
Speaker 5: Thousand dollars cash up for grabs, all thanks to Office Works.
Speaker 4: If you want it.
Speaker 5: Thirteen one oh six five we're gonna quiz the kids
Speaker 5: of Australia with three very simple questions.

Speaker 2: It's the smartest ones.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 3: If you think you've got a really smart kid, or
Speaker 3: you're a kid listening and you think you're particularly good
Speaker 3: at answering trivia questions, which I am not.
Speaker 2: That's who we want to hear from.
Speaker 4: Should we Should we meet today's contestant girls?

Speaker 2: That's very sensible.
Speaker 3: Also, I reckon you should do a detour down the
Speaker 3: loly Islet's at the back of office works. They sell
Speaker 3: it in bulk. Could be nice to throw a few
Speaker 3: of those in the cart as well.
Speaker 8: Yeah, thank you so much.
Speaker 5: No waries all thanks to office Works who won't be
Speaker 5: beaten on back to school prices with their price beat
Speaker 5: guarantee exclusions apply. See the website for details. Hey, another
Speaker 5: thousand dollars cash up for grabs tomorrow.
Speaker 3: I'm loving doing this every day. Yeah, there was a
Speaker 3: corpor tomorrow. Okay, coming up. I want to know, do
Speaker 3: you think that if if you and your partner happily
Speaker 3: married or you're in a long term relationship and you
Speaker 3: start sleeping in separate beds, is that kind of an
Speaker 3: indication of the beginning of the end? Asking for a friend,
Speaker 3: not for.
Speaker 4: Me, I swear, all right, I know where this is going. Yeah,
Speaker 4: me too, all right, coming right up next on the pickup.
Speaker 2: Okay, I need to poll the country on this one.
Speaker 2: You need to call me, let me know.
Speaker 3: Thirteen one oh six five do you think that sleeping
Speaker 3: in separate beds to your partner is or indicates the
Speaker 3: beginning of the end?
Speaker 4: I got big feelings on this.
Speaker 2: I think I'm frightened to hear them much.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 3: The reason for this is recently, I like, during our
Speaker 3: holiday break, I had pneumonia, and you guys know, I've
Speaker 3: been coughing a lot, like on off air, I have
Speaker 3: this real cough, and especially when I was really sick,
Speaker 3: and in the depths of it, my beautiful husband, Maddie
Speaker 3: Jay he decided that maybe I was keeping him up
Speaker 3: a little bit too much during the night, which was
Speaker 3: fair at the.
Speaker 2: Start, totally totally fair, totally fair. He was like, babe,
Speaker 2: you're really, really sick.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go and I'm gonna grab some of the
Speaker 3: stuff and I'll sleep downstairs tonight. You don't mind if
Speaker 3: I sleep downstairs. So that was about three weeks ago,
Speaker 3: and then slowly he's sleeping downstairs. Has progressed to he
Speaker 3: took his toilet trees downstairs. He took his favorite pillow downstairs.
Speaker 3: Oh no, he took some linen downstairs.
Speaker 2: He's moved.
Speaker 3: He's got a wardrobe. I haven't seen it for a week. No, okay,
Speaker 3: it's gotten to the point now where I'm pretty much better.
Speaker 3: Like I'm very very close to being better. I'm definitely
Speaker 3: not contagious. We could be sleeping in the same bed.
Speaker 3: And last night I said to him, like, hey, honey,
Speaker 3: when do you think you're gonna come back to sleep
Speaker 3: in our bed together? And I was expecting him to
Speaker 3: say tonight or tomorrow night, like I was expecting kind
Speaker 3: of an immediate answer, and he goes, whoa, It's like
Speaker 3: it's really nice down there. I don't I don't get
Speaker 3: woken up, but all during the night I've I'm getting
Speaker 3: really deep sleep. I like to get up in the
Speaker 3: morning and go for a run and usually that wakes
Speaker 3: you up, Like, do you think it's a problem if
Speaker 3: I stayed down there a bit longer? Now I have
Speaker 3: gotten the impression that a little bit longer might be
Speaker 3: a bit longer than what I would like, because I
Speaker 3: think it's quite important for couples to sleep in the
Speaker 3: same bed together, like I need and would like him
Speaker 3: to be next to me, But.
Speaker 2: I think he wants to stay downstairs. And do you
Speaker 2: think that this?
Speaker 3: Does this mean that there's something wrong or is this
Speaker 3: just a new chapter in our relationship now? I.
Speaker 2: Laura, I get what you're saying.
Speaker 6: I get that you want to be in the same bed,
Speaker 6: but I think there's more to this one. I'm sure
Speaker 6: Matt wants to be in the same bed with you too,
Speaker 6: but I think it's more like it's further away from
Speaker 6: the kid's bedroom so he doesn't have to do those
Speaker 6: get ups in the middle of the night. That's what
Speaker 6: it is. But all jokes are signed. I don't think
Speaker 6: it's the worst thing to sleep into separate beds, Like,
Speaker 6: there's nothing worse than if you are getting a bad
Speaker 6: night sleep, especially if one of you coughin your guts
Speaker 6: up the whole night.
Speaker 3: I think it's pretty normal. I think it's offensive. I'm like,
Speaker 3: how are we here already?
Speaker 2: Like at what?
Speaker 3: I am offended that you want to move away from me?
Speaker 2: And yes I was sick, but care for me, love me,
Speaker 2: I need you. And now he's remember you're dollying on
Speaker 2: his face. Why are you offended? But he's offended? I
Speaker 2: mean you should have been turned on by this, you know,
Speaker 2: for better orf or worse.
Speaker 3: I just think that's a discussion, right, It's not just
Speaker 3: you just don't migrate downstairs to a different bedroom. Surely
Speaker 3: you have a discussion first, and you both have to
Speaker 3: be on the same page.
Speaker 5: No, I think it's the death of a relationship. I
Speaker 5: think if you're sleeping in separate bits, you haven't even
Speaker 5: been married.
Speaker 4: You've been married? What just a year?
Speaker 2: Just a year?
Speaker 4: That's done. The marriage is done.
Speaker 5: No, No, in my eyes, you have I'm sorry, but
Speaker 5: you and Mattie j Laura, that is really that's I
Speaker 5: think that's really sad. The reason you want to be
Speaker 5: with someone your whole life so you can share these
Speaker 5: intimate moments.
Speaker 4: What vow did you make at the wedding? Through sickness
Speaker 4: and in health? And in health?
Speaker 3: Remind him the better or worse, better or for worse,
Speaker 3: and then I'll coff in his mouth say why don't
Speaker 3: you love me more?
Speaker 4: Maybe no, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Okay, part of me I was okay with it at
Speaker 3: the start, and now I feel offended. And I want
Speaker 3: to know, what do you guys think? Do you think
Speaker 3: that this is the beginning of the end.
Speaker 4: Like a snappole? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Absolutely, all right, listen, maybe couples that are living like this,
Speaker 5: because many do.
Speaker 4: Thirteen one oh sixty five. Let us know.
Speaker 5: Britta and I clearly have our opinions, but let's see
Speaker 5: what the country thinks next.
Speaker 4: On the pickup, we're having.
Speaker 6: A pretty heated discussion here on potentially if Laura's marriage
Speaker 6: to husband Matty Jay has ended or is on its
Speaker 6: way to ending. Laura and Maddie are sleeping in separate rooms. Now,
Speaker 6: that's because Laura was sick, and it's a bit on
Speaker 6: the fence on is this the beginning of the end?
Speaker 3: Okay, it's not the beginning of the end. It's just
Speaker 3: had some flow on effect. And originally there was a
Speaker 3: reason why matt was sleeping in a different bedroom, but
Speaker 3: now I think he's just enjoying it. Because you know,
Speaker 3: he says he gets better sleep there, which I understand,
Speaker 3: but I like to be cuddled through the night.
Speaker 4: And I want to fam you this pathetic gripping love.
Speaker 4: It's over. It's over, Mitch.
Speaker 3: It isn't okay, it isn't. And I know what you think.
Speaker 3: It is not an indication that there is anything wrong
Speaker 3: in a relationship. And there are so many people. My
Speaker 3: grandparents married seventy two years, deeply in love, Brest in peace, Papa,
Speaker 3: but they slept in different rooms for the last fifty years.
Speaker 5: So like, I'm also so single, So who am I
Speaker 5: to even true even jump in.
Speaker 4: So that's what we're doing. We're polling the nation.
Speaker 5: We want to we want to see where the country
Speaker 5: stands on whether or not Laura and Maddie Jay's relationship
Speaker 5: is over. Is it okay to sleep in the same bed?
Speaker 5: Tash on thirteen one or sixty five? Where do you stand?
Speaker 8: I think you should sleep in the same bed. I
Speaker 8: think sleeping in different beds can sometimes lead to lack
Speaker 8: of intimacy. And also, if you're at work all day
Speaker 8: and you don't see your partner, you just go home,
Speaker 8: cook dinner or do whatever, and then you go off
Speaker 8: to different bedrooms. That can also put a strain on
Speaker 8: the relationships in that sense as well. You're not with
Speaker 8: each other as much.
Speaker 2: And no, no, you're unconscious anyways. Do you have kids?
Speaker 2: Do you have any kids?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 8: I don't have kids.
Speaker 3: Okay, I have two kids, and I feel like that
Speaker 3: that has already the lack of intimacy is already there,
Speaker 3: and I blame them, but I love them dearly, but
Speaker 3: it's not happening anyway.
Speaker 5: Okay, that's one vote to start at the end. Oh yeah,
Speaker 5: simone thirteen, one oh sixty five. What's your opinion on
Speaker 5: sleeping in separate beds?
Speaker 1: But no, no, no, if you're married, you married, you're
Speaker 1: not house mate.
Speaker 3: Okay, smart, Wait wait, wait, I have a question, Tom,
Speaker 3: And what if your partner snores really bad?
Speaker 2: Yeah, for one or.
Speaker 7: Two nights, that's fine, but then back in the bed
Speaker 7: or get out.
Speaker 5: Let's get a boy's perspective. Sometimes it's nice to get
Speaker 5: a different gender's view on this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, very true, Luke.
Speaker 4: Hey, what's your stance on this? Can Laura and Maddie
Speaker 4: survive separate beds?
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally they can.
Speaker 7: I'm all for this, Like I've been with my boyfriend
Speaker 7: for years, and I am an insomniac, so I really
Speaker 7: struggle with a sleep in general. Bestides sleeping in separate
Speaker 7: beds like a couple of years ago, and it's just
Speaker 7: saved their relationship.
Speaker 1: Perfect.
Speaker 3: Okay, Wait, Luke, I need to know more about this.
Speaker 3: Do you find has it changed anything about how much
Speaker 3: you love each other or the intimacy or how excited
Speaker 3: you are to see each other at the end of
Speaker 3: the day.
Speaker 1: No, that's a really it kills like concepts. There's one
Speaker 1: part of a relationship and like sure, like it's nice
Speaker 1: to kind of cuddle before going to bed, and like
Speaker 1: obviously you know, fun times in the same bed, but
Speaker 1: like like when it comes to sleep, we just go
Speaker 1: our separate ways and then we see each other in
Speaker 1: the morning and it's beautiful.
Speaker 3: Do you know, maybe Luke is doing this in the
Speaker 3: superior way. Maybe this is a man thing you think.
Speaker 3: I mean, Matt thinks that this is fine. Luke thinks
Speaker 3: this is fine, and every single woman thinks it's a
Speaker 3: problem except for you, brit You seem to be okay
Speaker 3: with it.
Speaker 2: No, I think it's fine.
Speaker 6: I know a couple they've been married for like forty
Speaker 6: or forty five years that not only sleep in separate rooms,
Speaker 6: but they sleep in separate houses in the same street.
Speaker 2: They live their life.
Speaker 6: Together, they have dinner together, they do everything, and they
Speaker 6: go to their separate house.
Speaker 3: Do you know what this also means. It means separate wardrobes,
Speaker 3: it means separate bathrooms. I think that this is the
Speaker 3: elite way of living with your partner.
Speaker 4: Oh, you guys, this is sad, so high. That's how
Speaker 4: it'd all be doing it. All right, let's go, let's
Speaker 4: get out of here.
Speaker 2: See you guys. Bye.
