Speaker 2: or of course at Chemists Warehouse. Let's do a Thursday
Speaker 2: favorite Aska.
Speaker 3: So ask aunt kat is where you call in and
Speaker 3: you tell us you're deep, you're dark, and you're burning
Speaker 3: questions that you have, And by goodness, we have a
Speaker 3: doozy for you today.
Speaker 2: We do. We have Bella who joins us. Hey, Bella,
Speaker 2: what's your question for us?
Speaker 4: Do I have to stop being friends with my oldest
Speaker 4: guy in mate because he's now in a new relationship?
Speaker 3: Has anything that happened between the two of you, Yes,
Speaker 3: but years and.
Speaker 4: Years and years ago, like it was the friends with
Speaker 4: benefit situation, we were never in a relationship.
Speaker 2: How long? How long? How long were you doing was
Speaker 2: it a long term like you do it when you
Speaker 2: were bored or did you do it just once?
Speaker 3: Come, we're in the mill army more than once, and
Speaker 3: so we love it.
Speaker 4: It was about six years ago that we were that
Speaker 4: we did have friends with benefits. It happened a couple
Speaker 4: of times, a little bit of a you know, sometimes
Speaker 4: we all have needs type of thing. And yeah, anyway,
Speaker 4: that hasn't happened about six years and now he's dating
Speaker 4: someone new and he said, we sort of can't be
Speaker 4: friends anymore, and I'm like, well do I reached out
Speaker 4: like is this now like a situation where I meet
Speaker 4: his new girlfriend? I try to just make sure she
Speaker 4: trusts me, or do I just have to let them
Speaker 4: kind of be in their relationship and what will.
Speaker 3: Be kind of thing him saying I can't be friends
Speaker 3: with you anymore. Did it come from the girlfriend saying
Speaker 3: I don't want you to be friends with her? Because
Speaker 3: maybe he has maybe she's asked him, have you ever
Speaker 3: been intimate with your best friend? And he said, look, yeah,
Speaker 3: something happened six years ago. And then that's what's made
Speaker 3: her turn around and say, well, look you're not really
Speaker 3: best friends. Then there's obviously something else or could have
Speaker 3: been something else going on there.
Speaker 2: But you can't ask. You can't do that like people
Speaker 2: have with other people. It's in the past. That's insecurity
Speaker 2: on the girlfriend's side.
Speaker 3: Totally, but it is up to him. The fact that
Speaker 3: he's the one that's come forward and he's prioritized the
Speaker 3: new relationship over the friendship, I think it kind of
Speaker 3: shows where you sit in terms of priority for him.
Speaker 2: All right, here's what you got to do.
Speaker 4: What do I gotta do?
Speaker 1: I think it's worth one shot having the conversation with
Speaker 1: him and saying, look, where is this come from? Is
Speaker 1: it because there's a trust issue with her, is it
Speaker 1: with you? Has something happened with us? Because I really
Speaker 1: value the friendship. You know, you've been a huge part
Speaker 1: of my life for a long time. If there's a
Speaker 1: way we can make this work, I'd love to try.
Speaker 1: And once you've shot your shot, then you need to
Speaker 1: respect what he's asked for, respect the other girl, and
Speaker 1: walk away. But if it was my bestie, I would
Speaker 1: be I'd be going back one more time to see
Speaker 1: if I could start out.
Speaker 3: I have a big questions. No, I want to know. Okay,
Speaker 3: you're saying that's very platonic on your side. Do you
Speaker 3: think that there could have been any feelings from him still,
Speaker 3: because it's a very severe reaction for him to turn
Speaker 3: around and say we can't be friends anymore. Maybe he
Speaker 3: still held a flame for you.
Speaker 4: I don't know, honestly, it's been like six years and
Speaker 4: we've been in positions where it could have happened again
Speaker 4: and it hasn't. So I think, like for me, all
Speaker 4: I can say it's from my end, it is completely platonic.
Speaker 4: And you know you don't want to assume that like particular,
Speaker 4: but you don't want to know. I don't want to
Speaker 4: be a woman hating another woman, do you know what
Speaker 4: I mean? And being like, well, she's obviously crazy, so
Speaker 4: I think that something's obviously happened from that.
Speaker 3: How long have they been together for?
Speaker 4: This is about six months in, okay, and all.
Speaker 3: Of a sudden they've been dating for six months, and
Speaker 3: all of a sudden he's turned around and said, we
Speaker 3: can't be friends anymore. Yes, I'm gonna I'm thrown out
Speaker 3: of spade here I reckon. He said, nothing's happened, nothing's happened,
Speaker 3: And then six months in he's gone, oh yeah, look,
Speaker 3: ages ago we hooked up, but it meant nothing. And
Speaker 3: now she's like, well, you lied to me, and this
Speaker 3: is what I think happened, and that's why. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: think so maybe maybe try and find out if there
Speaker 3: is more to the story and then call us and
Speaker 3: tell us, are.
Speaker 1: You in a relationship now, Bella?
Speaker 3: Are you still single?
Speaker 4: No, I'm single, which is probably what Well, maybe yeah.
Speaker 3: Go get a partner and then maybe.
Speaker 2: You can be friends.
Speaker 1: But yeah, because then you can do update and then
Speaker 1: pack on the PDA, make it very clear you're in
Speaker 1: your relationship. Yeah, maybe you can rekindle, but at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, you got to respect.
Speaker 2: Him, Well, Bella, give us up data okay to will
Speaker 2: thank you so much.
Speaker 3: No, thanks so much, Bella.
Speaker 2: If you want to get in touch, get some advice
Speaker 2: and hit us up on the pickup on socials.
Speaker 1: If you need your best friend, Bella is also looking.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bella's single, lad all right back after this other pickup.
Speaker 2: It is the pick up. Thursday afternoon, Britt, Laura and
Speaker 2: Mitch heading to chemists ware house today. Great savings every day.
Speaker 3: So the other day I went to Woongong and I
Speaker 3: saw my mom and she gave me a big bag
Speaker 3: of some belongings from my childhood that she's been holding.
Speaker 2: On to me.
Speaker 3: I'm just doing a clean out in thirty seven years.
Speaker 3: She was like, oh, I went through the garage and
Speaker 3: I found some things that you might want to keep.
Speaker 3: And she gave me this massive bag and it was
Speaker 3: full of literally every single certificate, every single award, any
Speaker 3: note that my teachers had written, every report card that
Speaker 3: I'd ever gotten, all my piano adjudicator notes. She kept them.
Speaker 2: Parents keep the weirdest stuffin. My mom kept my fore skin. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I feel like I feel like that trumps everyone. But
Speaker 3: my mom kept these four massive diaries full of all
Speaker 3: of my accolades as a young child, and I got
Speaker 3: really excited because I thought, I'm going to take them
Speaker 3: home and I'm going to read through these because obviously
Speaker 3: my Mum's kept them because they're special, and like, you know,
Speaker 3: they're telling me what a good kid I was. I
Speaker 3: wanted to read out one of.
Speaker 2: Them to you.
Speaker 3: Oh no, because the overrarching thing that I discovered from
Speaker 3: these four folders of memories from my childhood is that
Speaker 3: I was actually a pretty average kid. Is that I'm
Speaker 3: actually satisfactory. Is that I am pretty bad at pretty
Speaker 3: much everything. So I always thought I would be a singer.
Speaker 3: That was my real aspiration for life.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that.
Speaker 3: Did you know that brit Laura actually can sing?
Speaker 1: Not well, you know, Adele, but like you can hold
Speaker 1: a tube?
Speaker 3: Can I?
Speaker 1: Though?
Speaker 3: Can I?
Speaker 2: Okay, these are your report cards from what.
Speaker 3: This one isn't a report card. This is I used
Speaker 3: to go and I used to perform. I used to
Speaker 3: go and stand up in front of an adjudicator and
Speaker 3: I would compete in singing lessons. I was a singer
Speaker 3: and I did piano.
Speaker 1: Makes me feel uncomfortable thinking about.
Speaker 2: It's so awkward.
Speaker 3: So when I was eight years old. I sang Winnie
Speaker 3: the Pooh, not just the normal Winni, but the things
Speaker 3: which version it goes, Winni the Pooh, Winni the Pooh.
Speaker 3: You a hardly little tubby, all stuffed with fluff. It's
Speaker 3: Winny the Poo. I stood there and I sung it,
Speaker 3: and I did these beautiful arm gestures, and I'll never
Speaker 3: forget how great it was. And my mom never gave
Speaker 3: me this little report card the first Here it is
Speaker 3: Winnie the Pooh, Laura Burn, eight years old. This was clear,
Speaker 3: and there was some feeling for the meaning of the song.
Speaker 2: Although your actions.
Speaker 3: Could be far more refined and a little bit more
Speaker 3: concise so the audience can actually concentrate on what you're singing.
Speaker 3: Except for some false intonations at the beginning, your singing
Speaker 3: was mostly fine. Oh oh.
Speaker 2: I love the fact that it's the arm gestures that
Speaker 2: get us.
Speaker 3: She's like, put the arms.
Speaker 2: Down, girls. She still still does. We saw Dancing with
Speaker 2: the Stars.
Speaker 3: It's what she does. She distracts with eight or under.
Speaker 3: I have never read anything more like unencouraging.
Speaker 2: In my entire life. I went through this box because
Speaker 2: you brought the box in and I found this one
Speaker 2: for it. I have an actual report card at Saint
Speaker 2: There's School, West Wollo Gong Laura Burnt, class five B.
Speaker 2: I love. The tagline of the school is love can
Speaker 2: do all things except so this is I've got all
Speaker 2: your marks. Okay, So it's a M s R. A
Speaker 2: is always are is rarely s as sometimes in religious
Speaker 2: education they've tipped rarely, but the teachers then got a
Speaker 2: stick of white out. Why did it out? And gone sometimes?
Speaker 2: I don't want to be too hard.
Speaker 3: He didn't even go and get a new report. It's
Speaker 3: the very first tick. He could have just started again,
Speaker 3: but he wanted me to know that he marked me
Speaker 3: down and then thought about it.
Speaker 2: What about this personal development? He's tipped sometimes, then gone
Speaker 2: to rarely, ticked rarely? Why did it out? Gone back
Speaker 2: to sometimes? And then just written in red pen It varies,
Speaker 2: he can't make his wind up, shows self discipline varies,
Speaker 2: accept responsibility rarely, respects rules and authority.
Speaker 1: She doesn't accept responsibility really never complete task and is
Speaker 1: focus and punctual rarely.
Speaker 3: This is apparently I can follow directions satisfactory.
Speaker 2: That's the lowest.
Speaker 3: That's we can't get above that?
Speaker 2: Can I just say the most lightly the best score
Speaker 2: you've got, Laura. It's just so funny. Ready in library
Speaker 2: you've scored always for show's interests in borrowing.
Speaker 3: I mean she goes to check out the winning the
Speaker 3: Poople bless her. I didn't want to peak too early.
Speaker 2: She wasn't checking the Bible out. No, she was so good.
Speaker 2: We love you, Laura. Guys.
Speaker 3: This is what it says. If you did really poorly
Speaker 3: in primary school, there's still hope you might end up.
Speaker 2: In radio exactly get into borrowing. All right, we're back
Speaker 2: after this with a very exciting guest. Imagine being diagnosed
Speaker 2: with MS at the age of twenty. It really would
Speaker 2: just throw you out. Imagine it, wouldn't it. Yeah, an
Speaker 2: Ossie model. She's missed one of them, almost miss universe.
Speaker 2: She's joining us next to tell us a story on
Speaker 2: the pickup. It's the Pickup with Britt, Laura and Mitch
Speaker 2: here for your Thursday afternoon thanks to Chemists Warehouse. Right now,
Speaker 2: get half price off cosmetics across the Mabelene, Revel, Rimmel
Speaker 2: and Nude by Nature Rangers, all at Chemists Warehouse.
Speaker 1: I have an amazing guest for you guys today. Now.
Speaker 1: Her name is Madison Coddle, and she's twenty two years old.
Speaker 1: She unfortunately has been diagnosed with MS and she is
Speaker 1: on a mission to spread the word about it so
Speaker 1: people know more about it, what it is, the causes.
Speaker 1: It's taken her two years to get to that point.
Speaker 1: She's a beautiful young woman. She was Missing Universe Australia
Speaker 1: finalist and she's on the line. Madison Coddle, Hi.
Speaker 3: Madison, Hello, thank you for having.
Speaker 1: Me talk to us about your diagnosis and what that
Speaker 1: looked like at the time.
Speaker 5: Of course, So I'll take you back to June of
Speaker 5: twenty twenty. I was ten months into my first business venture.
Speaker 5: I was a happy, healthy twenty year old and I
Speaker 5: woke up one morning and I was limping. I was
Speaker 5: just struggling to walk and I wasn't injured at all.
Speaker 5: I wasn't in any pain, and I thought it was
Speaker 5: quite strange because other than that, I'm usually quite healthy.
Speaker 5: So I did go to the doctors and receive a
Speaker 5: MRI and we were in lockdown at the time, so
Speaker 5: I did receive the news that I had multiple thorrosis
Speaker 5: over the phone, and that's definitely the most scary and
Speaker 5: the worst phone call I've ever received, and.
Speaker 3: No support around you when you get that call.
Speaker 2: So Madison, I guess when it hit you. And if
Speaker 2: you're happy to talk about this, I mean, what thoughts
Speaker 2: ran through your mind?
Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, I'm going to end up in a
Speaker 5: wheelchair by the age of twenty five and I'm going
Speaker 5: to have disabilities. But I am so lucky to now
Speaker 5: live in Australia where we have modern day technology and
Speaker 5: medication where we can pick up on it so early
Speaker 5: and lots of people are able to live a completely
Speaker 5: normal symptom free life.
Speaker 1: For those that are listening that might not know about it,
Speaker 1: can you explain what is ms?
Speaker 5: Of course, So lost of thorrosis is when your immune
Speaker 5: system attacks your nerves and it starts shutting down your body.
Speaker 5: So you're some common sy so your ability to walk,
Speaker 5: your bladder, your vision. So my ability to walk was
Speaker 5: obviously compromised in the beginning, but I was able to
Speaker 5: be given medication to reverse them side effects, so I
Speaker 5: have no permanent side effects. And since being on that medication,
Speaker 5: I have had no progress.
Speaker 3: In terms of how you medicate and how you take
Speaker 3: care of yourself. What do you need to do.
Speaker 5: So day to day. I live a one hundred percent
Speaker 5: completely normal life. If you met me, you would never
Speaker 5: ever ever know that I have multiple sclerosis. Every four weeks,
Speaker 5: so once a month, I go to the hospital and
Speaker 5: I get an infusion, and being on that medication, it
Speaker 5: just suppresses my immune system a little bit so that
Speaker 5: it weakens it and it's not attacking my body. So
Speaker 5: it's extremely, extremely unlikely that I will have any further
Speaker 5: progression being on this medication. And it's so common now
Speaker 5: for younger people to live a symptom free life because
Speaker 5: we have these strong medications and the research and the technology.
Speaker 1: Is this because you would die knows so early. So
Speaker 1: for people that would diagnose further along with more symptoms,
Speaker 1: can those symptoms be reversed or is it a like
Speaker 1: we'll stop it from progressing, but you live with what
Speaker 1: you've already got and you just don't get further.
Speaker 5: Yes, of course it change is case by case. But
Speaker 5: for me, I got on top of it pretty quickly,
Speaker 5: so it didn't get to the point where it was irreversible.
Speaker 5: So I suggest if anybody does have symptoms that they
Speaker 5: get on top of it straight away, because I was
Speaker 5: so lucky that I got on top of it, and
Speaker 5: now it's reversible and I live completely symptom free. At
Speaker 5: the moment, there is no cause and there is no cure.
Speaker 5: Some research shows that it's genetic. Other research shows that
Speaker 5: it's just your living situations, but there is no official cause.
Speaker 2: I've got a commend medicine for being so brave and
Speaker 2: so open and vulnerable talking about it. I mean, I
Speaker 2: live with a chronic illness. I have a brain condition
Speaker 2: called Chiari malformation, and it's got very similar symptoms to
Speaker 2: what you live with, and it can be debilitating physically.
Speaker 2: But what a lot of people don't talk about is
Speaker 2: the mental strain that isn't actually been caused by the
Speaker 2: symptom of the condition. It is the toll that it
Speaker 2: takes knowing that I mean, I guess the unknown. But
Speaker 2: also I mean it took you two years to talk
Speaker 2: about it, Madison. I had a similar situation where I
Speaker 2: was like, why this happened to me? You know, especially
Speaker 2: when it hits you when you're in your twenties. It
Speaker 2: hit me when I was in my When I was nineteen,
Speaker 2: I was diagnosed. And I don't know if you went
Speaker 2: through a similar thing to what I'm experiencing.
Speaker 5: Yes, definitely, I'm so sorry you're also going through that.
Speaker 5: But I question myself every single day.
Speaker 2: Why me? Why me?
Speaker 5: For the last two years, I think that I'm a happy,
Speaker 5: healthy woman. I put so much good out into the world,
Speaker 5: and it's so easy to question why me. But that's
Speaker 5: why I did apply for this Universe Australia, because I've
Speaker 5: decided that this is my wife. My why is to educate,
Speaker 5: to advocate, to do everything in my power to make
Speaker 5: a difference to the mental health of people that receive
Speaker 5: serious medical diagnosis.
Speaker 3: It's incredible, Madison, You've just goed incredible.
Speaker 5: Yeah, thank you so much.
Speaker 1: And keep spreading the word, keep fighting the good fight,
Speaker 1: and we can we you know, all of our loves
Speaker 1: going out to you and we hope that you stay
Speaker 1: happy and healthy.
Speaker 2: Thanks Madison, thank you so much. All right, let's get
Speaker 2: out of here. I have you missed any of the show today?
Speaker 2: You can podcast it on the iHeartRadio app. Just search
Speaker 2: that pick up and when cold and flu strikes, Demisen
Speaker 2: gets it done. Always follow the directions for use.
Speaker 1: Boys, standing by will and what are they're driving you
Speaker 1: home today? What have we got on the show today?
Speaker 3: Boys?
Speaker 2: Hey, guys, how are you?
Speaker 6: We are trapped in Indiana Jones themed escape room. We've
Speaker 6: been in here since Monday. I mean, we're eating in here.
Speaker 1: It's a bit flat.
Speaker 2: One of us is sleeping in here. One of us, well.
Speaker 6: I'm snoring a lot, so you're not getting a lot
Speaker 6: of sleep. Yeah, we haven't been out since Monday. I
Speaker 6: haven't seen our children, we haven't seen our partners.
Speaker 2: I heard word my baby's teething. So I'm going home
Speaker 2: to a roost, that's for sure.
Speaker 7: Anyway, if you want to hear us continuing to puzzle
Speaker 7: and try and make our way out of here with
Speaker 7: minds that are no longer complete, then stay with us
Speaker 7: and we're back on here in five.
Speaker 3: See you tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Guys, they a
