Speaker 1: Laura, Come on.
Speaker 2: Hello everyone, Hi, Hi Laura Mita you right over there?
Speaker 3: Are you right? What's wrong?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 2: I think that there are some foods that should not
Speaker 2: be consumed in confined spaces. We can all agree that
Speaker 2: tuna is one of them, and you know another one
Speaker 2: is banana.
Speaker 4: I sit on a plane and eat a banana? Are you?
Speaker 1: I would strongly disagree with both those things. I eat
Speaker 1: tuna and bananas in a room.
Speaker 4: Would you eat it? Would you eat tuna on a plane? Absolutely?
Speaker 2: You would sit on a plane and open a can
Speaker 2: of tuna next to someone?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Absolutely, This is so dramatic.
Speaker 5: A radio station to a plane is completely different.
Speaker 4: We're in the tiniest room. We are in a canon.
Speaker 4: I did eat but it was raw, so didn't smell you.
Speaker 4: That would really be.
Speaker 3: A hypocritical happy Monday show. We're all best.
Speaker 4: Sorry, we love each other.
Speaker 3: Banana are eating freak?
Speaker 5: Listen you just say raw sashimi? I'm like, what is
Speaker 5: that smell? Is someone painting? No, Laura's got with sabi.
Speaker 5: You whip it out on sashimi on the desk three
Speaker 5: pm as well, mate, Userson.
Speaker 1: No, this is the same person that wouldn't let you
Speaker 1: come into this room if you had chewing gum in
Speaker 1: your mouth.
Speaker 4: So I think grain of salt with Laura Burn.
Speaker 2: Maybe I have a pain in my ears. I don't know,
Speaker 2: I'm the pain in your ask Mitch, don't I sorry?
Speaker 5: Let me eat a banana and live. Guys like I
Speaker 5: need some sustenance. It's because we're doing pick up put
Speaker 5: down next to start the show. We do it every
Speaker 5: week all the big stories from the weekend that the
Speaker 5: world have been talking about. Everyone thinks, God, should we
Speaker 5: carry on these conversations into the weekend. Let's ask what
Speaker 5: Britney Hockley and Laura Burn have to say about these topics.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the problem is they're never the big topics. But
Speaker 2: we've established that now.
Speaker 5: Well listen, Australia could soon face a national g string
Speaker 5: band and two of.
Speaker 3: The biggest purchases of these items in this room with me.
Speaker 3: So you're one of them, yes, and the other. We'll
Speaker 3: do that next Here on the pickup. Welcome, it's Monday.
Speaker 3: Let's celebrate here your dead.
Speaker 5: I have collated all the big stories from the weekend Britain, Laura,
Speaker 5: I'm going to bring them to you what I deem them.
Speaker 5: I've talked about stories in the world.
Speaker 2: Do you think Mitch has ever actually read the news?
Speaker 4: I reckon he just watches it on TikTok one hundred percent.
Speaker 4: I don't think you've ever read.
Speaker 3: Just the hick and reason.
Speaker 4: No, just full stop. I think you only read the headlines.
Speaker 4: That's what That's what you do, right, Laura, you can't talk.
Speaker 1: You are the worst for a clickbait headline.
Speaker 5: All right, you guys decide whether or not we keep
Speaker 5: talking about these topic, So we move on. Last week
Speaker 5: on the show, I was talking about my lunch on
Speaker 5: the way to work.
Speaker 3: This is what I said, if you missed it.
Speaker 5: I had this boiled egg in my left hand, driving
Speaker 5: the steering wheel with my right. I get this egg
Speaker 5: and I smash it against the gearstick knob and I
Speaker 5: get the most perfect crack in the world. And I
Speaker 5: had a couple of treacherous turns coming up, so I thought,
Speaker 5: all right, I'll put this egg on my chair, and
Speaker 5: the egg rolls back into the egg shell, so pick
Speaker 5: it up. Now this egg man is covered in eggshell.
Speaker 5: And then I end up throwing it out the window
Speaker 5: because I'm so pissed off. I've already heard today Laura,
Speaker 5: you've got feelings about my work snacks, Mitch.
Speaker 2: I have feelings about this whole segment. This is meant
Speaker 2: to be about the news. And now you've done a
Speaker 2: takeover about your eggs, which also stink, and I have
Speaker 2: a problem with you eating them in small, confined spaces.
Speaker 4: What's the pickup?
Speaker 3: Put down? What is the question? We had feedback saying
Speaker 3: you should not be eating eggs at all?
Speaker 1: As I say you, one of my favorite snacks is
Speaker 1: a boiled egg.
Speaker 3: So that's my question. Eggs as a snack.
Speaker 4: No, I have eggs as a snack in my bag.
Speaker 4: Now are you a toddler? Are you kidding?
Speaker 1: It's such high protein, it's so good for you, it's healthy,
Speaker 1: and it keeps you full.
Speaker 2: I'm just really again, I'm really against snacks that stink. Okay,
Speaker 2: I don't want stinky snacks.
Speaker 4: Boiled eggs. Don't putting it down.
Speaker 5: If you do them right, they're good, Laura, All right, cool,
Speaker 5: I try to take eggs.
Speaker 3: Are sponsoring myself?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 3: Pick up? Put down? Banning nicknames for your children?
Speaker 4: What I don't have kids?
Speaker 2: Put it down, put it down. And I say this
Speaker 2: with all the loving respect to.
Speaker 4: My beautiful sister and her husband, Mikey, my brother in law.
Speaker 2: When when Archer was born, my nephew, they said no
Speaker 2: one's allowed to call him Archie, and now no one
Speaker 2: calls him Archie, but I always have the urge I
Speaker 2: really want to do it. So I think you shouldn't
Speaker 2: bear nicknames because.
Speaker 4: What's the mean? And then you can bear them.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Mum's net, which is like an online mummy blogger,
Speaker 5: sounds like my personal hell to be honest. Friends and
Speaker 5: family have commented saying that the baby at daycare has
Speaker 5: been told from the daycare, we're not going to refer
Speaker 5: to you as your nickname.
Speaker 3: You have to be you have to use your normal nickname,
Speaker 3: and the mum's upset.
Speaker 1: Why.
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't mind it.
Speaker 1: My nickname was p head, so I wouldn't mind if
Speaker 1: that was banned, or ski jump nose because I had.
Speaker 4: A little nose.
Speaker 2: Ski jump nose is actually a compliment and people pay
Speaker 2: a lot of money for that nose.
Speaker 1: But actually a lot of my payouts were to do
Speaker 1: with my face, which is concern.
Speaker 3: Pritty early person.
Speaker 5: She's like in high school, you know what they called me,
Speaker 5: gorgeous cheek bones, pick up put down G string bikinis.
Speaker 1: I'm going to say, you pick it up.
Speaker 5: I have them right, well, I know you have them,
Speaker 5: but I find of a woman wearing the G string
Speaker 5: banger has gone viral. Now the debate in Australia has
Speaker 5: been set off. Should we ban them? Some people are
Speaker 5: going as far to say let's ban them. A pole
Speaker 5: said around seven thousand people said yes, ban them. Six thousand,
Speaker 5: six hundred people said no, don't ban them.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, put it down because it makes me
Speaker 2: feel inferior, because my poor flat mum bum can't wear
Speaker 2: a G string bikini anymore.
Speaker 4: No, it's so flat.
Speaker 2: This something happens after you give birth to kids. No
Speaker 2: one talks about it, but it's like your your butt
Speaker 2: goes concave, it goes the opposite way and it flattens
Speaker 2: down against your That's got.
Speaker 4: Nothing to do with having kids.
Speaker 1: You haven't exercised in months.
Speaker 4: Okay, that really pointed, and I hurt me a little bit.
Speaker 3: He told me that I.
Speaker 4: Can't wear a G string bikini. And I see some
Speaker 4: of the I sound like, yeah, I sound like such an.
Speaker 2: Old lady, but I see some really young girls at
Speaker 2: the beach wearing G string bikinis and I'm like, please
Speaker 2: put us the wrong on.
Speaker 4: It's too much. I Matt, cover your eyes.
Speaker 1: I don't have G string bikinis, but I have like
Speaker 1: the Brazilian ones that are smaller and sometimes my butt
Speaker 1: sucks it up.
Speaker 5: That's actually me sorry that your butt is so strong
Speaker 5: it's sucks seeing any material and turns it into.
Speaker 4: A gdu You should feel my glutes.
Speaker 1: If you want, you can punch it time, Peter, thank
Speaker 1: you so much for that for the offer.
Speaker 4: But I'm okay, do you want to punch it my
Speaker 4: gluere Oh.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, now punch mine you'll lose your hand.
Speaker 2: That really took a turn from Monday. I can punch
Speaker 2: it later, manuch, No, I'm all right there. You all
Speaker 2: right back after this, I would pick up.
Speaker 4: Laws.
Speaker 1: You've had a little bit of a rough trot lately,
Speaker 1: and you want to talk a bit about it today.
Speaker 2: Well, something we've been talking about over the last few
Speaker 2: months is something very important to me and I appreciate
Speaker 2: you guys giving me the space to share it. My stepdad, Neil,
Speaker 2: who's been a part of my life for the past
Speaker 2: twenty years. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer nine years ago. Now,
Speaker 2: I shared that he was in palliative care and we
Speaker 2: spoke about the importance of talking to the men in
Speaker 2: your life that you love around checking their prostate, and
Speaker 2: we had acuch an incredible response on this show. We
Speaker 2: had so many of you who went home and had
Speaker 2: those conversations with your dad, and for that, I am
Speaker 2: so grateful. This was actually Maddie was one of the
Speaker 2: girls that we spoke to, and this is what she
Speaker 2: had to say.
Speaker 6: So gave my bars and was just like, hey, heard
Speaker 6: this really sad story on the radio, but like just
Speaker 6: making sure you've had your checks and hey, I don't know,
Speaker 6: he's the full man with sixties and he was like, oh,
Speaker 6: I do you want to talk about that?
Speaker 7: You know?
Speaker 6: And I actually had a like my own blood test.
Speaker 6: I didn't get my checks, nothing too exciting, and I
Speaker 6: was like, come on tomorrow morning, I'm going to pick
Speaker 6: you up. We'll go get our blood tests on together
Speaker 6: and then we can't go get brecky wort a date.
Speaker 1: For blood test.
Speaker 6: So it was actually really nice.
Speaker 2: Now, the reason why I wanted to talk about it
Speaker 2: is because Neil passed away on Tuesday, So sorry laws.
Speaker 2: He fought so hard. He fought for nine years, right
Speaker 2: until the very end, and sorry, guys, give me one step.
Speaker 3: Thank you? Do you want tish? She can we get
Speaker 3: all rung? We prepared. Oh, she's got.
Speaker 2: Them right until the very end. And he was surrounded
Speaker 2: by his two children, my mum, and I.
Speaker 4: Was able to be there to say goodbye.
Speaker 2: But I feel so grateful to have this platform, and
Speaker 2: I feel so grateful to be able to do the
Speaker 2: show with you guys, and to talk about something that
Speaker 2: is so important to me because Neil was only in
Speaker 2: his sixties. He has six amazing grandchildren, and he played
Speaker 2: such a huge part in all of our lives. But
Speaker 2: he never went and got his prostate checked. And in
Speaker 2: our family, we never spoke about it. It just wasn't
Speaker 2: ever something that I think anyone thought to have the
Speaker 2: conversation with. And now for me, it's something that I realized.
Speaker 2: You know, I know it's weird. I know it's strange.
Speaker 2: I know no thirty year old women are thinking, oh,
Speaker 2: I'm going to go talk to my dad about his prostate.
Speaker 2: But god, I wish one of us had thought that.
Speaker 2: And there were so many signs that something was wrong,
Speaker 2: and it took getting to a point where it was
Speaker 2: almost undeniable before he took himself to the doctors.
Speaker 4: And it's just such a huge shame.
Speaker 2: He was truly an amazing man, such a great granddad,
Speaker 2: such a wonderful husband to my mum.
Speaker 4: And he told the worst dad jokes.
Speaker 2: He loved a pun and it was so hard saying
Speaker 2: goodbye to him.
Speaker 4: So he loved a Hawaiian shirt. He loved a Hawaiian shirt.
Speaker 3: I remember Dance.
Speaker 2: Your wedding, yea man on the dance flo didn't he
Speaker 2: just But I mean, there's so many conversations that we
Speaker 2: have around cancer, and for anyone who's experienced it in
Speaker 2: their family, it's horrific no matter what the cancer is.
Speaker 2: But I think prostate cancer is one of those ones
Speaker 2: that's just a bit icky to talk about. And I
Speaker 2: think a lot of men in particular feel very private
Speaker 2: about the health and feel very private about things that
Speaker 2: they're going through.
Speaker 4: You know, it's not something that's normal to talk about.
Speaker 2: If you have a man in your life, whether it's
Speaker 2: your uncle or your dad or your husband, if it's
Speaker 2: a conversation that you've never had with them, please just
Speaker 2: send a text message or the next time you're on
Speaker 2: the phone, just ask them when did they go and
Speaker 2: get their prostate checked? Because it's such a simple test
Speaker 2: these days, it's it's a blood test. They check their
Speaker 2: PSA and that's kind of the indicator of the cancer.
Speaker 2: And yeah, just it really could save their life and
Speaker 2: you could be you know, could save another family from
Speaker 2: being in the situation that we are in.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: The message here is, guys, you do need to advocate
Speaker 1: for your own health because no one else is going
Speaker 1: to do it for you.
Speaker 3: We love you, We're here for you.
Speaker 4: Thank you so much, guys.
Speaker 3: All right back after this on the pickup, So.
Speaker 1: Mitch and Laura is someone that has just recently gotten engaged,
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm sor yes, Oh I was like
Speaker 1: what anyway, someone that just recently got engaged. I get
Speaker 1: served a lot of engagement content.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you're the target audience.
Speaker 1: Now I am the target audience. And there's this one
Speaker 1: viral TikTok debate at the moment from this woman that
Speaker 1: has completely divided the internet because she's gone on to
Speaker 1: say that if a man can't pick being gaged ring
Speaker 1: on his own accord, that he's not the right man
Speaker 1: for you.
Speaker 7: Have a listen call me old fashion, but I think
Speaker 7: it is so weird when the girl knows exactly what
Speaker 7: ring she's getting. I feel like women have gotten so
Speaker 7: insecure and so entitled about their ring because of social
Speaker 7: media and how it will look to other people that
Speaker 7: they've forgotten what the proposal and what the ring even symbolizes.
Speaker 7: If you even have anxiety that your man is going
Speaker 7: to get you the wrong ring, you're with the wrong guy.
Speaker 7: Woman to women, the right guy will not fok that up.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, she sounds horrible.
Speaker 1: She actually like when I listen to it again, she
Speaker 1: sounded like a mold does she sounds awful?
Speaker 4: Like that is not a red flag.
Speaker 1: If your partner cannot quite pick the exact right ring,
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean he's the wrong person.
Speaker 5: Also, if you want to go back to the roots
Speaker 5: of marriage, it's so the man can own the woman.
Speaker 5: Like she's like, go back to the original.
Speaker 4: Old fashion.
Speaker 2: Okay, firstly, there's a photo here of her ring. Of course,
Speaker 2: she's not complaining. She's going to be dragging her knuckles
Speaker 2: around on the floor with that thing.
Speaker 1: I look, I sort of agree with the sentiment a
Speaker 1: little bit, like what she's trying to say in the messaging,
Speaker 1: but the way she says it is so rude and
Speaker 1: so offensive. I understand where she's like, just let him
Speaker 1: pick it. I get that because there's something quite nice
Speaker 1: in that. I let Ben, my fiance, pick mine. I
Speaker 1: didn't tell him exactly what I wanted.
Speaker 2: I did him save enough images though in your Instagram,
Speaker 2: which I found them all and sent them to him.
Speaker 2: He had a very clear indication of what you wanted,
Speaker 2: but not one ring was the same. Well, I mean,
Speaker 2: I think that there's different ways that you can split this.
Speaker 2: She's saying that people are insecure about what other people think,
Speaker 2: and that's why people are concerned about their ring.
Speaker 4: But I think for some men it is so overwhelming.
Speaker 2: There is so much pressure on choosing the right ring,
Speaker 2: on getting things perfect, that they almost feel debilitated by
Speaker 2: the choice. So if somebody doesn't get the right ring,
Speaker 2: or it's not exactly your style, or they've asked for
Speaker 2: your help or you've given them some direction, it doesn't
Speaker 2: mean that they're a bad partner, doesn't mean that they're
Speaker 2: the wrong person. I just think this is a superficial
Speaker 2: way of looking at it, that she's being superficial.
Speaker 3: And Alissa's gives his a call. Hay, Melissa, what are
Speaker 3: your thoughts on this?
Speaker 6: Yeah, hey, Mitch, my husband he picked it all himself,
Speaker 6: did the did everything, did the research, the cut, clarity
Speaker 6: and all that went to a diamond dealer and yes.
Speaker 3: Happy Did you like it?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 6: I loved it. Yeah, it's the best. Yeah, it's just
Speaker 6: a classic. Looks like a Tiffany ring, but not as
Speaker 6: expensive as Tiffany ring.
Speaker 4: Beautiful.
Speaker 3: Sorry, we've got to ask the spell. Does he have
Speaker 3: a taste? Is he into style?
Speaker 6: He's got, he's got, he's got great style.
Speaker 3: That has a taste. And then a man who's not
Speaker 3: into it.
Speaker 2: But you can't hold that against them, Like, just because
Speaker 2: they don't have very good taste doesn't mean they would
Speaker 2: make a terribles.
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean they're the wrong person. And Ben, I
Speaker 1: know my fiance almost brought me white gold. I don't
Speaker 1: wear white gold. I know if he did, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: have said, oh, red flag and dumbed him like I still.
Speaker 3: Would have married it.
Speaker 5: It made sure for the sake of your relationship that
Speaker 5: it wasn't yet gold.
Speaker 2: I set him in a really good direction for that,
Speaker 2: I reckon. You can thank me for your ring Britt. Actually,
Speaker 2: thank you for.
Speaker 5: My well We're died for the day. Listen this week,
