Speaker 1: Laura and come on in, Hello everybody and happy Tuesday.
Speaker 2: It's brit Laura and Mitch from the pickup. It is
Speaker 2: minus Mitch Misch is unwell today.
Speaker 3: But hey, Laura, I have a question for you because
Speaker 3: I'm in my wedding era, so everything that gets served
Speaker 3: to me online, everything I'm seeing is wedding related.
Speaker 1: You're at that stage where your algorithm, like your social
Speaker 1: media algorithm, just completely updates and it's just like wedding content,
Speaker 1: wedding invitations, wedding designs, wedding dresses.
Speaker 2: Everything wedding.
Speaker 3: But tell me if you think that this is super
Speaker 3: efficient and time saving or if it's just rude.
Speaker 2: There's a couple that's.
Speaker 3: Circulating online at the moment because they sent out their
Speaker 3: wedding invitations and on their invitation has all the details
Speaker 3: that you would possibly need where.
Speaker 2: To go when it is dress code.
Speaker 3: Then it has their bank details on the wedding invitation,
Speaker 3: so that people can nott worry about getting them a gift, don't.
Speaker 2: Do wishing well.
Speaker 3: It's now like you don't have to go to the
Speaker 3: ATM and get cash out and put it in a card.
Speaker 2: It is just a straight up transfer.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know that we're heading towards being a
Speaker 1: cashless society, but I don't think that you can be
Speaker 1: so like make so many assumptions that you can just
Speaker 1: put your bank details on the wedding invitation. It's pretty
Speaker 1: crazy pay for your own invite. Here it is, it
Speaker 1: was two hundred and fifty dollars ahead.
Speaker 3: But then there's part of me that's like, because I
Speaker 3: would never do it, rather roll over my own grave.
Speaker 2: But there's part of this is like, well, if I
Speaker 2: was to give cash, it does make it easier than.
Speaker 1: Going to find an atm if I was like if
Speaker 1: I was a guest, But then you also you missed
Speaker 1: the opportunity of getting the cards. And that's like one
Speaker 1: of the most special parts is going home after the
Speaker 1: wedding and opening the card and reading it and counting
Speaker 1: how much money Nana gave you.
Speaker 2: And also not very premissed. And then you make a list.
Speaker 1: You're like, well, Sarah gave us one hundred dollars, this
Speaker 1: person gave us true massina vouchers. Let's say that's what
Speaker 1: you do, so you know what you say thank you too.
Speaker 1: It takes out the romance too, doesn't it. I don't
Speaker 1: think you can do it, but hey, look something else
Speaker 1: we want to talk about. There are stages of grief
Speaker 1: when it comes to a breakup, right like, there are
Speaker 1: clear stages that people go through. And Channing Tatum he's
Speaker 1: recently gone through his own very big breakup, and he
Speaker 1: has reached a new stage in the breakup process, and
Speaker 1: that is the first trap stage.
Speaker 2: I was about to say, I hope he's okay. Great,
Speaker 2: I think he's all right. We're talking about it next
Speaker 2: on the pickup. Now.
Speaker 1: You might have heard that recently Channing Tatum has gone
Speaker 1: through a terrible breakup from Zoe Kravitz.
Speaker 3: I think there were a lot of happy people around
Speaker 3: the world because I well, because he's so many people's
Speaker 3: crush and hall pass and everyone wants to hope that
Speaker 3: there's this little bit of chance left with him. And
Speaker 3: so when he was taken off the mark and everyone
Speaker 3: was like, damn it, well now he's back.
Speaker 2: I feel like he was your hall pass for a while,
Speaker 2: wasn't he.
Speaker 3: I did super like him, Mon Ray, Yeah, I actually
Speaker 3: on the dating app.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we had a thing there for a while.
Speaker 3: I forgot So it doesn't right anyway, what about change Tatums?
Speaker 2: He's back on the market.
Speaker 1: He's back on the market, but everyone was talking about
Speaker 1: because he was apparently really really in love with Zoe
Speaker 1: Krabittz and he had been planning over her for a
Speaker 1: long time prior to them even being together, and everyone
Speaker 1: kind of said that when he very first came out
Speaker 1: of his breakup, he was going through like the sad
Speaker 1: Affleck phase, you know, like Ben Affleck, how he was
Speaker 1: like photographed with that terrible tattoo and everyone was like, God,
Speaker 1: he was so sad after he broke up with Jennifer
Speaker 1: Lopez the first time.
Speaker 3: It's also so sad in itself that Ben Affleck is
Speaker 3: notoriously known for just being sad. Is the sad afflet
Speaker 3: because he's because he constantly breaks up with the same person.
Speaker 1: Well, he's gone through that phase. But now our Channing
Speaker 1: Tatum has made it out alive. He's at a new
Speaker 1: phase of grief when it comes to the breakup process,
Speaker 1: and that is he has made it to thirst trap phase,
Speaker 1: where you are acknowledging that you have been broken up with,
Speaker 1: that you are on your own, and you're putting yourself
Speaker 1: back out there so that everyone knows you're single.
Speaker 3: And your viral show me how old are you? I
Speaker 3: think the thing is single and ready to mingle.
Speaker 2: You heard it first. He's viral according to show me
Speaker 2: the first trap. Okay, I'm in two minds about it,
Speaker 2: but this is what everyone's discussing at the moment. So
Speaker 2: he posted a shirtless photo of himself that is the
Speaker 2: first trap. Yeah, okay, wait for it. No, sorry.
Speaker 3: You can see his face with a beanie on it,
Speaker 3: and it's hot neck and then not even a whole neck.
Speaker 2: You can see about an inch of his trap.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's not that, it's that he's there saying
Speaker 1: he's back at the gym, and it's kind of the
Speaker 1: context of what the stories was.
Speaker 2: So he was up early in.
Speaker 1: The morning and he was working out and getting all sweaty,
Speaker 1: and then he was like, the only thing about a
Speaker 1: really like big early morning workout is when it's finished.
Speaker 1: That was what the post was, and everyone's saying it's
Speaker 1: a first trap.
Speaker 3: People are pretty thirsty and dehydrated. If that's a first trap,
Speaker 3: Like you've been in the desert a long time. If
Speaker 3: this is what's doing it for you, wit, what were
Speaker 3: your first traps?
Speaker 2: Like, Oh, okay, I still do them.
Speaker 3: I still first trap for my fiance because he lives
Speaker 3: in Romania, so I just he needs to keep thirsty
Speaker 3: as well. When I went through my breakup with my ex,
Speaker 3: I thought I was going to marry my ex. Luckily
Speaker 3: I didn't because I'm also getting married now to someone
Speaker 3: I love very much. But I remember going into the
Speaker 3: depths of despair and I was like, I'll never date again,
Speaker 3: and I'm so sad. Now, how am I ever gonna
Speaker 3: go out of bed? Then one day the light lifts
Speaker 3: and the curtains open, and you realize you're back in
Speaker 3: the game.
Speaker 2: I put a photof on my Instagram that was me.
Speaker 2: I went to Thailand on a holiday.
Speaker 3: I was in a bikini, quite small, and I was
Speaker 3: walking away into like the sunset, and you could see
Speaker 3: my whole booty, in my whole shape. And my caption
Speaker 3: was literally, tell me you're single without telling me your single.
Speaker 3: That's what I wrote, which is funny because I was
Speaker 3: telling you I'm a single and that was it, and
Speaker 3: I was thirsty and I was bad.
Speaker 1: Wait but was it for him or was it for
Speaker 1: like everyone else to know? I did it because I
Speaker 1: think it's important online Now it's a dating app.
Speaker 3: Instagram is used as a dating app. It's like a
Speaker 3: CV for your job whatever it is. So it's like
Speaker 3: if people know you've been in a relationship and you're
Speaker 3: off the market for a year, two years, whatever, that
Speaker 3: is a way to let people know I'm back. And
Speaker 3: I think when you've been in a relationship and you
Speaker 3: don't post it and things, when all of a sudden
Speaker 3: you're like, here I am, it's letting.
Speaker 1: Everyone know I'm slide into my dam Yeah, but everyone
Speaker 1: makes it usually slightly more subtle than like a picture
Speaker 1: of their booty being like.
Speaker 2: They don't That's what a first strap is. They go from.
Speaker 1: I was never the first rapper. I just used to
Speaker 1: be the sad Instagram quote girl. I'd be like, if
Speaker 1: you can't handle me my worst, you.
Speaker 2: Don't deserve me.
Speaker 3: I'm in a bikini and Laura, Laura was like, live, laugh, love, No,
Speaker 3: you're worth for.
Speaker 1: If you guys start seeing me posting Instagram quotes, you
Speaker 1: know that Matt and I have separated and it's not
Speaker 1: good in my world.
Speaker 2: Well I'm still in.
Speaker 3: A bikini all the time. Doesn't mean anything. Hey, I
Speaker 3: do need to do you something. I had to send
Speaker 3: quite a late night text to one of Australia's like.
Speaker 2: Iconic sweetheart bachelors.
Speaker 3: And when I was in the text chain, I was like, wow,
Speaker 3: I've been a bit of a usage to this person.
Speaker 2: I want to know why you had to send a
Speaker 2: late night text.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you. After the break, I thought I was
Speaker 3: going to lose my best friend. Yesterday, Laura me my
Speaker 3: dog Delilah. It actually makes me so happy.
Speaker 2: Every time I hear that someone, you know, it's like
Speaker 2: my face. So I think I might put it as
Speaker 2: my ringte.
Speaker 1: She really, I mean, for a dog that is such
Speaker 1: a liability.
Speaker 2: We love her so much. She's like a toxic relationship
Speaker 2: for you, Britt.
Speaker 1: I want you to realize that you're like I love her,
Speaker 1: she's my best friend, or spending my time with her.
Speaker 2: She gets you in so much trouble. It is very toxic.
Speaker 2: But yesterday, literally I was in panic mode.
Speaker 3: So I like a little treat, a little sweet treat, right,
Speaker 3: So I got this little chocolate bar thing that is
Speaker 3: like a very organic and natural ingredients and cocoo and
Speaker 3: whatever else it is. And the reason I'm saying that
Speaker 3: is not just a humble brag, but it's.
Speaker 2: Important to the story.
Speaker 3: So I was settling into the couch last night to
Speaker 3: eat it, and I put the chocolate bar, still in
Speaker 3: its wrapper, on the lounge next to me. Then I
Speaker 3: had to get up and get something from my room
Speaker 3: for two seconds, get up, go to my room, come back,
Speaker 3: and Delilah has gotten the chocolate bar off, opened it,
Speaker 3: put the wrapper on the ground irrelevant to the story,
Speaker 3: and eaten the whole.
Speaker 1: She didn't sit there with a little pause and like
Speaker 1: she can't do it perfectly, and then she did.
Speaker 2: So I went into panic mode. So I don't I've
Speaker 2: always known and I never knew if it was really.
Speaker 3: Like that myth that chocolate can kill dogs, you know
Speaker 3: how It's like there are things you don't fitture dog
Speaker 3: onng in chocolate.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure grapes is one of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like like sultanas and raisins. Yeah, toxic to dogs.
Speaker 1: You're right, yes.
Speaker 3: And I had put it up a bit of a
Speaker 3: cutesy laugh on Instagram, Luffy Laughy laughed, they'll eitherate this
Speaker 3: chocolate's so cute anyway. Wow, shouldn't have done that inundated
Speaker 3: with people being like, your dog's gonna die. So I
Speaker 3: was like, oh my god, what am I gonna do.
Speaker 3: And it's also after hours, so yes, I could have
Speaker 3: called emergency vet care, but I decided to go for
Speaker 3: the free option, and I messaged my friend Chris Brown
Speaker 3: like bond di Vet.
Speaker 2: You know doctor Chris Brown. He's every Australia loves him.
Speaker 2: He's very famous vet.
Speaker 3: We've been friends for many, many years now, and we're
Speaker 3: not the kind of friends that go and like hang
Speaker 3: out all the time.
Speaker 2: But we text each other.
Speaker 3: But when I say we text each other, I've realized
Speaker 3: it's quite a one sided texting chain. So I mess
Speaker 3: and I just said, hey Chris, sorry, it's been a
Speaker 3: hot second quick question and sorry to message you so
Speaker 3: late at night. Delilah has just eaten this little chocolate
Speaker 3: bar behind my back. I sent him a picture zoomed
Speaker 3: in on the ingredients and I was like, does she
Speaker 3: need emergency care? Will she improve on her own?
Speaker 2: I was like, is this so rude? Anyway?
Speaker 3: Bless his soul, he wrote straight back immediately he looked
Speaker 3: up all the ingredients. He asked me about her body
Speaker 3: weight and like how much chocolate she consumed? And long
Speaker 3: story short, she was absolutely fine. But the thing that
Speaker 3: got me sort of chuckling is that when I look
Speaker 3: at our text and when I say.
Speaker 2: We're friends, we're obviously not friends.
Speaker 3: Every text in the last three years I have messaged
Speaker 3: out of the blue.
Speaker 2: Hey Chris, sorry to bother you, And that's a Delilah question.
Speaker 1: You just think you've got a free vet on hand.
Speaker 1: Chris has become your own free personal vet.
Speaker 4: Listen to.
Speaker 2: Listen to Christmas Eve twenty twenty two. Hi Chris, Merry Christmas.
Speaker 2: Sorry to bother you. On Christmas Eve, Delilah has been
Speaker 2: excessively panting non stop to else. Just take it to
Speaker 2: the vet.
Speaker 3: Wait, she's dribbling a lot too. What could be wrong
Speaker 3: with her? I've googled it and it says it could
Speaker 3: be toxic. What's your initial thought? Bless his soul? He
Speaker 3: called me on Christmas Eve, ran me through the whole
Speaker 3: Delilah chap Okay.
Speaker 2: Moving forward, we're in twenty twenty three. Hey, Chris, So,
Speaker 2: if Delilah has an oyster cut on her paw, can
Speaker 2: I use human bedddine? Here's the cut and I'm sending
Speaker 2: in pictures of Dallilah's Paul with an oyster cut.
Speaker 3: Next one, Hi, Chris, it appears Delilah has eaten half
Speaker 3: a block of eighty percent chocolate.
Speaker 2: This goes on and on.
Speaker 1: Okay, the only thing that you're reinforcing to me in
Speaker 1: this one is that Chris is not your personal vet.
Speaker 1: And two Delilah is a liability. And also so you
Speaker 1: you're just as bad.
Speaker 2: I'm not, Yes, you are in I do. This is
Speaker 2: just a shout out to Dr Chris Brown.
Speaker 3: He did write to me and say, any time you want,
Speaker 3: I will give you advice on Dhlilah.
Speaker 1: Like that is absolutely so fine. Don't ever feel like
Speaker 1: you can't ask me. And I'm saying that more so
Speaker 1: people don't judge me. If Chris is meant to be
Speaker 1: one of your good friends, you should probably call him
Speaker 1: and apologize.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna bother the guy anymore.
Speaker 1: Like, Hi, I'm so sorry that I haven't spoken you
Speaker 1: in two years except to ask for free vet of us.
Speaker 3: Sorry about the exhaustion panting or used chocolate consumption.
Speaker 1: Does he even go by being a vet still? I
Speaker 1: thought he was dancing with the stars now.
Speaker 2: But you don't just want your a doctor. You're a doctor.
Speaker 2: You can also be a dancer doctor dancing all right?
Speaker 2: Look coming up?
Speaker 1: Give us a call we're going to be talking about
Speaker 1: childhood nostalgia.
Speaker 2: You know, things like.
Speaker 1: When you're a kid, you would say jinks, or you know,
Speaker 1: a pinch and a punch for the first day of
Speaker 1: the month. What are those big childhood nostalgia moments that
Speaker 1: you might have forgotten about or haven't thought about in
Speaker 1: a while.
Speaker 2: We want to hear about them next. Now, I wanted to.
Speaker 1: Talk about something that caught me off guard on the weekend,
Speaker 1: and it has to do with real those real nostalgic
Speaker 1: childhood moments.
Speaker 2: So you know, real kids.
Speaker 1: How like kids kind of have their own little language,
Speaker 1: like the own little things that they do that all
Speaker 1: kids seem to know what they are and all kids
Speaker 1: seem to do it, but then like no one knows
Speaker 1: where it comes from. So like, for example, I pinch
Speaker 1: and the punch for the first ay of a month.
Speaker 3: It's one of those things that's there, but you don't
Speaker 3: know where where'd you get it from?
Speaker 1: Yeah, So Marley has one. She's five, and every time
Speaker 1: we drive past a windmill. So we were in the car,
Speaker 1: we drove past a windmill, and then her sister started
Speaker 1: crying in a seat next to her.
Speaker 2: Her sisters three and I was like, what what just happened?
Speaker 1: And she's like, oh, mum, we passed a windmill, so
Speaker 1: I punched Lola.
Speaker 2: What that's not a thing.
Speaker 1: So apparently every time you pass a windmill you'd got
Speaker 1: to punch someone.
Speaker 3: No that, Laura, if you were getting sucked in by
Speaker 3: your five year old, she obviously just punched Lola and
Speaker 3: got in trouble.
Speaker 2: So she's like, oh, it was the windmill. No, I
Speaker 2: think it was.
Speaker 1: Really it was genuinely a reaction, like when you go
Speaker 1: under a tunnel and you gotta hold your breath.
Speaker 3: Oh, I never did that, but we did do holding
Speaker 3: your breath when you go past the cemetery, like it's
Speaker 3: like respect to the dead people or something, or respect
Speaker 3: to the dead people, or it could have been like
Speaker 3: you'd be haunted if you did it. But like as
Speaker 3: soon as you hit the semestry, you had to hold
Speaker 3: your breath and you couldn't breathe the end til you
Speaker 3: were past it.
Speaker 1: So Lola did one. And now I kin't of understand
Speaker 1: it from a five year old. So I feel like kids,
Speaker 1: like as they go through school, like they kind of
Speaker 1: teach each other things.
Speaker 2: But lullas three and we were in the car and
Speaker 2: she goes, mom, look a penguin.
Speaker 1: And I thought she was talking about a seagull or something,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I looked.
Speaker 2: I was like a penguin out the car window. That's amazing.
Speaker 1: So I looked out the window and then she turns
Speaker 1: around and she says this to me, I made you
Speaker 1: look you dirty?
Speaker 2: Chiok. That is a classic. It's a classic, and no,
Speaker 2: I haven't.
Speaker 1: And I had this real moment where I was like,
Speaker 1: this childhood nostalgia that kids like we have as parents,
Speaker 1: but also how amazing it is that these little kids
Speaker 1: like pick up things along the way as well, and
Speaker 1: it kind of stays throughout generations produce a grace is
Speaker 1: buzzing in Oh.
Speaker 4: I was doing some research on this. Apparently it's a
Speaker 4: thing called child law. So it's like folklore for kids,
Speaker 4: and it gets passed from like kids to kids, their cousins,
Speaker 4: it goes to different schools and stuff, and it's literally
Speaker 4: like this cultural thing that kids have that we just
Speaker 4: don't get as adults.
Speaker 3: I remember I was one of four kids, and so
Speaker 3: we're we did those long trips in the car. My
Speaker 3: two big brothers would be on either side in the back, seat,
Speaker 3: and I'd be in the middle and my little sister
Speaker 3: got dumped in the back. She was in a seat,
Speaker 3: but like she wasn't dumped in the back. It was
Speaker 3: a big car, but in the middle of the seat
Speaker 3: the whole trip, like five hours drive. My brothers would
Speaker 3: just do that to me. One would push me into
Speaker 3: the other one and say don't touch me and push
Speaker 3: me back. But then because he pushed me, I'd go
Speaker 3: into the other one and for five hours I'd get
Speaker 3: like a ping pong around the back.
Speaker 2: Don't touch me. I don't know if this is one
Speaker 2: of them or if you just look the phones. The
Speaker 2: phones have been ringing.
Speaker 1: Carlie Carlis called what is your kid nostalgia? What's the
Speaker 1: thing that you used to do that you reckon? We've
Speaker 1: all forgotten about.
Speaker 4: Hi, guys having a big families, lots of cousins, spending
Speaker 4: time with them as kids. It used to be put
Speaker 4: your hand up and be like talk to the hand
Speaker 4: because the face sat listen and do the whole.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's a classic, good classic. I like that one,
Speaker 1: or Jins or opposite day, also good.
Speaker 3: I used to hold out like one palm out and
Speaker 3: they and you put the other fist on your palm.
Speaker 3: You'd hold it up to someone and you say, smell
Speaker 3: the cheese, and when they go to smell it, you
Speaker 3: punch them.
Speaker 1: Okay, we've got cat cuts on the line, Kat, What
Speaker 1: is your nostalgic moment?
Speaker 3: Our mine was when they ask you to spell I cup,
Speaker 3: So they make you say I see you pee and
Speaker 3: then they start laughing.
Speaker 1: I sounded out Laura, Oh my god, I've never heard
Speaker 1: this one before. I see I see I cup, I
Speaker 1: see epee.
Speaker 2: Hey do you remember the one?
Speaker 1: It was with the calculator and it was Dolly Parton
Speaker 1: has two two two many boobs. So you type in
Speaker 1: two two two she took fifty one pills, times to
Speaker 1: it by eight and then ended up a new press
Speaker 1: equal and you turn the calculator on the other way
Speaker 1: and it spelled boobless.
Speaker 2: What are you talking about?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 2: You've just lost the spot if.
Speaker 1: You type it into a calculator and it spells out boobless.
Speaker 2: You've never seen this. Why would you do that? I
Speaker 2: don't know. I was a kid. Did you have boobs?
