Speaker 2: Friday. Oh my god, it's here.
Speaker 3: Happy Friday.
Speaker 4: I don't know about you, guys, but I am heading
Speaker 4: a straight after Hamilton Island.
Speaker 5: No, Britt, we're not going. What a ridiculous thing to say.
Speaker 5: I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to
Speaker 5: handle to my island.
Speaker 6: I know she really just rubs it in, doesn't she.
Speaker 6: I'm going home to clean my bedroom.
Speaker 4: Going that statement, I'm going home to clean my bedroom.
Speaker 4: Make she sound like you're twelve and you've got to
Speaker 4: like your mom's making you go home to clean your home.
Speaker 6: But the problem is I'm not twelve, and so my
Speaker 6: mum doesn't clean my room and I'm the only one
Speaker 6: who will do it, and I've been putting it off
Speaker 6: for weeks.
Speaker 3: Friday night to night.
Speaker 5: You guys, did you, guys when you're a kid, change
Speaker 5: where your bed was and like your drawers were in
Speaker 5: your room just so it felt like you had a
Speaker 5: new apartment.
Speaker 2: Room knew me. I'm walking in town. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 2: I'm in New York.
Speaker 3: I'm literally just putting my clothes away. I'm not going
Speaker 3: to do that.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, Julian Morris is here to wrap up.
Speaker 3: The show glorious and we love her.
Speaker 5: She's so funny and she's If you didn't know, she's
Speaker 5: gone through a major divorce and she has never spoken
Speaker 5: about it before, but she's doing a new stand up
Speaker 5: show where she's going to shed light on how tough
Speaker 5: it's been for the first time.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and we're going to ask you some of the
Speaker 6: questions around the show, but also around her divorce and
Speaker 6: how she handled it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, see a different side of her.
Speaker 5: I think you've been going through a tough time, you know,
Speaker 5: speaking of I also have been going through a bit
Speaker 5: of a rough patch. This is no serious you know.
Speaker 5: I sort of stray away from this kind of stuff.
Speaker 5: It's not very me.
Speaker 3: You don't do serious very well.
Speaker 5: I don't. But there's been some stuff happening in my
Speaker 5: personal life that you know, I have to talk about
Speaker 5: and I want to talk about. It's been a rough
Speaker 5: time with me and my relationship, and I want to
Speaker 5: bring it to the air and we'll do it coming
Speaker 5: up on the show.
Speaker 3: We're really proud of you, man.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll get my best shot. It's on the way
Speaker 5: here at the pickup. Thanks to Chemist Warehouse heading today
Speaker 5: great Savings every day. It is to pick up around
Speaker 5: the country Friday afternoon. Britt, Laura and Mitch here right now,
Speaker 5: get half price of cosmetics across the Maybeline, Revelon, Rimmel
Speaker 5: and Nude by Nature Ranges, all at Chemists, Warehouse Ladies.
Speaker 5: Our next guest we've had on the show before.
Speaker 3: We love her Australian icon, very very funny.
Speaker 2: The one and only Julia Morris is.
Speaker 1: I do you know I'm going to ring in every
Speaker 1: day because nothing feeds the validation that I'm not getting
Speaker 1: in my life. I speaking to you, guys, I love it.
Speaker 3: We're not good for a lot, but we are good
Speaker 3: to pick you up.
Speaker 1: You are good for loads of stuff. Let me tell
Speaker 1: you. You give me lots of joy.
Speaker 2: Jules tell me the new show seventy five years in
Speaker 2: the business. I feel like I've got to say that
Speaker 2: seventy five years in my business. That's not true, you liar,
Speaker 2: seventy true.
Speaker 1: It's it's so true. Look you guys, in the show
Speaker 1: is industry. You will have done many, many different jobs.
Speaker 1: Mass is not my strong suit, but of all the
Speaker 1: jobs I've done, it literally adds up to seventy five
Speaker 1: years in the business. You can't expect to hear stories
Speaker 1: you couldn't have thought you were going to hear, and
Speaker 1: you can expect lots and lots of laughter. If the
Speaker 1: opening weekend is any indication.
Speaker 6: Julie, I heard in this show you're speaking a little
Speaker 6: bit about your divorce that happened last year. Is this
Speaker 6: part of what makes up the show content? And is
Speaker 6: it the life lessons or what part of this is
Speaker 6: what you're sharing?
Speaker 1: Oh? What am I sharing? I'm sharing? All I know
Speaker 1: is that there's jaws dropping the floor. I don't want
Speaker 1: to feel the fear of people finding out about my life,
Speaker 1: so I've written the tour about it, and see, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the last bastion of the fear that I would
Speaker 1: have from the past.
Speaker 4: Well, Julia, sounds like it's a bit of a therapy
Speaker 4: session for not everyone but you as well. But I
Speaker 4: remember we had you on a whole little while ago.
Speaker 4: Now we had you on the show and we talked
Speaker 4: about the fact that you were like, I am never
Speaker 4: having sex again after my divorce. I'm not going to
Speaker 4: date again.
Speaker 3: I'm not getting back out there.
Speaker 4: Do you feel like you've come I've done enough work
Speaker 4: yet to get back on the apps.
Speaker 2: Do you think the times.
Speaker 1: Can I never No.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 1: When you hear part of the story, you'll see why
Speaker 1: I am scared off from my own judgment. I honestly,
Speaker 1: I feel like, hand on heart, this is it. I
Speaker 1: don't feel like I'm going to come up and out
Speaker 1: of it. I've done years of therapy, I you know what,
Speaker 1: just not hearing that I need to lose weight, not
Speaker 1: hearing that I'm lazy, and not hearing that I need
Speaker 1: to get out and work more because we don't have
Speaker 1: enough money. That stuff is over and I do not
Speaker 1: trust my judgment that I wouldn't choose another person like
Speaker 1: that because I didn't really see it for twenty years.
Speaker 1: If I didn't see it for twenty years and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden everything became apparent, then.
Speaker 6: No, this is what you were dealing with in your relationship,
Speaker 6: Like being spoken to in that way.
Speaker 3: That's that's horrible tonight on.
Speaker 1: Oh, well, here's the thing. You're only willing to take
Speaker 1: what you're willing to take, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: So that kind of does partially land at my feet.
Speaker 6: Not because things become normal over time, and sometimes you
Speaker 6: can be exposed to a certain behavior. You can be
Speaker 6: in a relationship for so long that you don't even
Speaker 6: really know anymore how unhealthy it is, but you know
Speaker 6: that your self worth has gone down the gurgle totally.
Speaker 1: It's funny because my work life, you know, I always
Speaker 1: knew that my ex was controlling, and that was something
Speaker 1: that we were they're everybody. Everybody knew. We knew, he knew,
Speaker 1: and it was something he was working on. So that's
Speaker 1: great that he's working on it. He could just work
Speaker 1: on with someone else. That can happen when you have
Speaker 1: a partner that doesn't work. So what you are constantly
Speaker 1: trying to do, I think, and this is way too
Speaker 1: serious for the this is not the comedy show.
Speaker 7: But what you do is you bend and stretch and
Speaker 7: adjust to make sure that person doesn't go down the
Speaker 7: emotional drain. If that, you know, because while things just
Speaker 7: kept happening for me professionally, a.
Speaker 1: Better, better, better, better better. That also can make those
Speaker 1: around you, you know, maybe reflect on their own contributions
Speaker 1: in life or their own missed out opportunities. So and
Speaker 1: that's the partnership that entered into I. You know, we
Speaker 1: were husband and wife, and when I spoke to all
Speaker 1: of my friends, they're like, oh god, I could never
Speaker 1: do anything right or you know, anything I say he
Speaker 1: says is wrong, and so I just thought, oh well,
Speaker 1: it's everyone, yeah, everywhere.
Speaker 5: And also, you were a partner like that, and they
Speaker 5: give you one nugget of something that you need a
Speaker 5: bit of validation. You go, you see the potential in them,
Speaker 5: So you stay for another few years, They'll give you
Speaker 5: one cycle.
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, there's there's my partner back. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: as we don't notice the other bits. And of course,
Speaker 1: you know, I confronted him many times, just going, you know,
Speaker 1: you were pretty mean last night. And so it's not
Speaker 1: like I was copying it sweet, I was giving it back.
Speaker 1: I've got nothing to lose with my honesty. You know,
Speaker 1: that's that's fear. I mean, a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: I had Verdigo, So there's a little crystal in my
Speaker 1: ear that went naughty and went into a wrong part
Speaker 1: of my ear. Now that launched, I'm not exaggerating. They
Speaker 1: would have launched about forty stories online. So you definitely
Speaker 1: get more and more and more private as the time
Speaker 1: goes on, because you're like anything I post on LORL,
Speaker 1: it's going to turn into something.
Speaker 6: But there's also an amazing amount of power in taking
Speaker 6: back your story and saying it yourself. And I think
Speaker 6: you know, I mean, thank you so much for sharing
Speaker 6: so openly, even just with us today, because you have
Speaker 6: we've spoken to you in the past. And I think
Speaker 6: when someone goes through a divorce or they're single again,
Speaker 6: almost the default is to be like, well, when are
Speaker 6: you going to get it back out there? But understanding
Speaker 6: the reasons why being in a relationship is not for
Speaker 6: you now and working on yourself, which absolutely should be
Speaker 6: the priority after the relationship you've been through, like thank
Speaker 6: you for sharing them, because so many women feel that it's.
Speaker 1: Just such a pleasure. It's also women I think in
Speaker 1: and around my age have not been big sharers. I
Speaker 1: know now that there's a generation of women that women
Speaker 1: my age have raised who feel it's okay and safe
Speaker 1: to come out and say I've hit these are my boiables, this,
Speaker 1: this is my brutal honesty. What I definitely need to
Speaker 1: do for the moment is just focus on getting my
Speaker 1: perfect children to the next stage of their lives.
Speaker 3: You're an incredible woman.
Speaker 6: Sometimes the best relationships you're gonna have it with yourself,
Speaker 6: and also with your kids, and I think this is
Speaker 6: so powerful, and I know that there's so many women,
Speaker 6: not just in your age group, like, there's so many
Speaker 6: women who will relate to this.
Speaker 2: They are Yeah, thanks my pleasure.
Speaker 1: I love you, guys.
Speaker 3: Oh, we love you.
Speaker 5: We'll go and see Julia seventy five years in the business.
Speaker 5: The tour tickets run saldow Livenation dot com, dot you,
Speaker 5: we love you, Jewels talk soon, Love your girl, Julia.
Speaker 5: All right, stand by next on the show you know What.
Speaker 5: Inspired by many things, Julie was just saying, I have
Speaker 5: an announcement to make and we'll do it next on
Speaker 5: the Pickup. It's a pick up Friday afternoon. Britt, Laura
Speaker 5: and Mitch here head into chemist ware House today. Great
Speaker 5: savings every day. I am gonna have to lean on
Speaker 5: YouTube for a little bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, you know we're here.
Speaker 2: If you don't mind.
Speaker 5: I'm going through a pretty awful breakup, first breakup of
Speaker 5: my life. I've never been through anything this hard in
Speaker 5: my entire existence. It was my first love. It's been
Speaker 5: five years together. We went to ballet together and I
Speaker 5: don't know, I just wanted to talk about it. And
Speaker 5: I will start with the fact that what has helped
Speaker 5: me get through this period that I've never been through
Speaker 5: before is hearing other people's stories and stories that I
Speaker 5: could relate to. Everyone thinks heartbreak is so unique to them.
Speaker 5: I go through it and I go, I've never felt
Speaker 5: this much pain, And I call Britt and she goes,
Speaker 5: I have, And I talk to Laura I have, and
Speaker 5: then you go on TikTok and so many people have.
Speaker 5: So that's the reason I just hate talking about myself
Speaker 5: in this capacity. So I want to preface it by
Speaker 5: saying I was helped by other people stories, which.
Speaker 3: Is why you want to talk about it.
Speaker 6: Well, I think as well, Mitch, like you're so on
Speaker 6: this show and in life, you are always the funny beacon,
Speaker 6: and you're always the one cracking jokes and bringing the comedy.
Speaker 6: And I know when you're going through something quite hard
Speaker 6: in life and you're not feeling happy on the inside,
Speaker 6: but having to show up and be happy all the
Speaker 6: time on the outside, that really takes a toll as well.
Speaker 6: And seeing you going through what you've been going through
Speaker 6: the last couple of weeks and not being able to
Speaker 6: talk about it because you weren't necessarily there yet. Yeah,
Speaker 6: We just wanted to say how proud we are of
Speaker 6: you that you know you've made this decision as hard
Speaker 6: as what it is, but also that you feel like
Speaker 6: you can share it with everyone and not just ask,
Speaker 6: but you can share that with Australia.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 5: I mean, I just think part of the reason it
Speaker 5: was so hard is that it came as a massive
Speaker 5: shock to me. I didn't think this is where the
Speaker 5: relationship would go. I'm not going to go into the details,
Speaker 5: but yeah, of course not. I was blindsided completely, and
Speaker 5: we just both had different pictures of where we saw
Speaker 5: our relationship in the future, and ultimately I had to
Speaker 5: make the decision to walk away. And I mean, we've
Speaker 5: got a house together, Like the joke is, and you're
Speaker 5: so right, it's hard when you're comedian and entertainer. You
Speaker 5: want to go to that place of humor to just
Speaker 5: mask it. But it does feel like a mid level
Speaker 5: heterosexual divorce. Like I feel like I'm in a divorce.
Speaker 5: I've seen my auntie and uncles go through this shit.
Speaker 5: I never thought i'd be here and we weren't even married,
Speaker 5: but I mean I pictured our life together. I was
Speaker 5: thinking about proposing. I we've spoken about adoption, adopting kids.
Speaker 5: See like our plan for that and you have those
Speaker 5: you have that vision and the picture of your future life,
Speaker 5: and then in one night it can be taken away
Speaker 5: and it throws you. It's so hard when to end
Speaker 5: a relationship when you still love a person, because most
Speaker 5: relationships and when there's no love or we just spoke
Speaker 5: to Julia Morris, you know, and she said, you know,
Speaker 5: you put up with so much she did a relationship.
Speaker 5: You don't realize how shitty it was until you're out,
Speaker 5: and you just people live in these loveless relationships. We
Speaker 5: had so much love and that's that's where the confusion
Speaker 5: comes from and the hurt because there was so much.
Speaker 6: I mean, I mean, obviously there's all the emotional stuff
Speaker 6: that you have to deal with and you go through
Speaker 6: a breakup, but like, what do you plan? You guys
Speaker 6: shared a house together, you have furniture together, Like how
Speaker 6: do you kind of decide what is next?
Speaker 5: Oh my god, I mean we caught up on the weekend.
Speaker 5: I haven't seen him in weeks and we have to
Speaker 5: sit down with a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet to separate our
Speaker 5: items and we have to go. It's like the price
Speaker 5: is right, Like we're going by different values. I'm like, well,
Speaker 5: you can get the revel kettle and the smeg toaster
Speaker 5: if I can get the you know, so no sound system,
Speaker 5: Like it's awful.
Speaker 2: But what actually is awful?
Speaker 6: What's it like though? When you see him sitting in
Speaker 6: the same room having to go over a spreadsheet. Surely
Speaker 6: that's hard enough.
Speaker 5: Oh, that's it's it's yeah, it's really hard because you
Speaker 5: want to get out of this period as fast as possible.
Speaker 5: Like I want to get out of this yuck ick
Speaker 5: sadness as soon as I can so, but I have
Speaker 5: to go through this period and be civil and actually
Speaker 5: have a conversation to get there. But I also don't
Speaker 5: want to have that conversation because it's the most heartbreaking
Speaker 5: thing I've ever done.
Speaker 4: What do you think has been the hardest part of
Speaker 4: the journey?
Speaker 3: From the breakup.
Speaker 5: Context, I came out for this relationship.
Speaker 2: I was straight. I mean I was never fraighty from
Speaker 2: the outside. I was in the closet.
Speaker 5: I got into this beautiful relationship at you know, twenty two,
Speaker 5: and then it was the inciting incident for me to
Speaker 5: then come out. So I came out, went straight into
Speaker 5: this relationship. So all my experiences as a as a
Speaker 5: gay man in the in entertainment. So when that ends,
Speaker 5: my brain goes back to that moment when I started,
Speaker 5: but I was a completely different person. I was a
Speaker 5: twenty two year old, closeted kid. So I just don't
Speaker 5: want to go back there mentally, and I'm not I'm
Speaker 5: in a good spot, but it's just all that comes up,
Speaker 5: and that's all swelling around in my head, and it's
Speaker 5: it's all linked.
Speaker 2: It's a lot, and that's why I wanted to talk
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 5: I want to get it off because there's so many amazing,
Speaker 5: funny things that are happening. Like when we sat down
Speaker 5: to have the initial breakup chat, my neighbor I've spoken
Speaker 5: about this on the show before, was playing the flute.
Speaker 5: She's learning to play the flute, and that day she
Speaker 5: decided to learn the Simpsons theme.
Speaker 2: So I'm going, Babe, it's time, after five years, we need.
Speaker 3: To right this shit.
Speaker 2: I'm like, shut up, I'm trying to break up.
Speaker 5: My bat was awful, So it's out a way and
Speaker 5: I'm ready to grow.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can feel like you can move on with
Speaker 4: your life, but now it's officially like weight off your
Speaker 4: shoulders and we can we can get.
Speaker 2: You back, sad.
Speaker 5: I still love him and I'll miss him dearly. But yeah,
Speaker 5: it's a new part of my life that I'm in.
Speaker 6: I'm really proud of you for feeling okay enough to
Speaker 6: share that with everyone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and thirteen one six five.
Speaker 4: If you want to date Mitch, he's available.
Speaker 5: I'm not there yet, but please accept my rayer referral code.
Speaker 2: I have thinks so much.
Speaker 5: Okay, let's go happy now. Yeah, where back after this?

Speaker 6: half years old. She has a best friend at daycare.
Speaker 6: She talks about her all the time. Her name's Eliza.
Speaker 6: She loves Eliza.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 6: I recently discovered that Eliza Marley May is best friend.
Speaker 6: Her mum is Aaron mollin No Ways, and you didn't
Speaker 6: know that my kid was like attracted to the celebrity mum.
Speaker 6: She was like, oh, which kid in here?
Speaker 4: Morley's coming home and telling Laura all this skuy news
Speaker 4: stuff like have you.
Speaker 3: Heard what's happening over in the UK? Laws like, honey, you.
Speaker 2: Know suddenly a conservative blonde woman shout a red dress on.
Speaker 3: No Aaron Mullen.
Speaker 6: She ended up messaging me on Instagram. She was like,
Speaker 6: did you know that our children are best friends?
Speaker 5: Fun?
Speaker 6: And it was like very very small world moment. But anyway,
Speaker 6: we've not met in real life, but we've been messaging
Speaker 6: on Instagram and we've been kind of like staying in
Speaker 6: touch a little bit, always about the kids, right, and
Speaker 6: they're a little cute connection and friendship. Well, last night,
Speaker 6: very very randomly, we get this message on Instagram. It
Speaker 6: was late, it was a late invite, but Aaron slid
Speaker 6: into our DMS Matt and Mine and she said, Hey,
Speaker 6: if you guys aren't doing anything tonight, do you want
Speaker 6: to come over because we're having a birthday party for
Speaker 6: a Liza.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, you made an adult friend on a weeknight,
Speaker 4: weeknight at that also, I'm all here for a week
Speaker 4: night birthday party.
Speaker 3: Everyone has gone by seven pm.
Speaker 6: It's quite nerve wracking going to like even to a
Speaker 6: kid's birthday party, but you don't know anyone. We've never
Speaker 6: met her in real life, we haven't met any of
Speaker 6: her friends. We didn't know anyone going to this party.
Speaker 6: But we were like, we will do this for the
Speaker 6: kid's friendship.
Speaker 2: Right, So Marley's in the back seat excited.
Speaker 6: So excited, and we get there and we were greeted
Speaker 6: by one of the guests who was coming to let
Speaker 6: us in, and it's because Erin was a little bit
Speaker 6: caught up. It turns out that at her own party,
Speaker 6: Erin and Eliza got stuck in the lift, so the
Speaker 6: lift had made it to her floor, her apartment floor,
Speaker 6: and they were trapped inside and we were inside with
Speaker 6: all the guests and we didn't know. We walked in
Speaker 6: and we're making small talk with all Eron's friends and
Speaker 6: with the other kids and introducing them like people from
Speaker 6: DAYK who had never met before. And there was Erin
Speaker 6: just trapped in the lift with Eliza, and the poor
Speaker 6: thing could hear her party going on out of the hallway,
Speaker 6: and she was stuck.
Speaker 3: In the list.
Speaker 4: At least though you know that, like, okay, take the
Speaker 4: kids out of it. That awkward moment when you turn
Speaker 4: up to a party by yourself, right or a dinner
Speaker 4: because you've got mutual friends but you don't know anyone.
Speaker 4: It's so awkward and you're like, please someone talk to me.
Speaker 4: Or if you're waiting on your own, there's nothing worse.
Speaker 4: At least you guys had the kid, but far something
Speaker 4: to talk about, something kids running around. Imagine if you
Speaker 4: were in there on your own with a couple of
Speaker 4: other adults.
Speaker 3: But one of the things I was the belief, yeah,
Speaker 3: the host is usually there to greet you.
Speaker 6: Her, poor erin was stuck in the live Actually very
Speaker 6: shortly afterwards, the lift maintenance guy I was like, how
Speaker 6: long is some we're gonna be stuck in the lyft
Speaker 6: for We're going to have the whole party and she's
Speaker 6: going to be stuck in the lift. She's second the
Speaker 6: lift for about twenty minutes, I think, and the lift
Speaker 6: guy came and pried it open the jaws of life
Speaker 6: and there they were.
Speaker 3: Just huddled in the corner, handed themselves out in there.
Speaker 2: Did you squeeze the slice of cake through the little
Speaker 2: slip of the door. Just one cheese cracker. He's a
Speaker 2: water cracker, So keep you going.
Speaker 6: It was so They're so delightful, but it was so
Speaker 6: sad because it was supposed to be a surprise party
Speaker 6: for Eliza, but she could hear the party going on.
Speaker 3: I didn't know why she was stuck in there. But
Speaker 3: anyway we met, We've become quick and hard friends.
Speaker 6: I feel like there's nothing that's going to bind you,
Speaker 6: like having one of you stuck in a lift and
Speaker 6: having a great rescue and bonding over your three year old.
Speaker 3: Are you here's a serious question, Mitch and I with mo. Yeah,
Speaker 3: she's myneum Oh my god.
