Speaker 2: Hello everyone?
Speaker 3: Do you know what, guys, it's not a happy hump
Speaker 3: Day for everyone out there. Today is the number one
Speaker 3: day of the year that people get broken up with.
Speaker 2: Is it statistically the highest breakup day or.
Speaker 4: Is it just its International breakup Day?
Speaker 5: Laura, why do you have to get so serious?
Speaker 2: But everything I don't know. I like, it's dump Day.
Speaker 1: It's not hump Day. It's Dumble's date again, eleven twelve.
Speaker 4: You know, Hi, everything has a day like it's like
Speaker 4: National Pirate Day or.
Speaker 2: Dressed like a pirate Day, National donut Day.
Speaker 5: No, today's the day because people think I've.
Speaker 2: Left it as long as I can.
Speaker 3: I don't want to go into the Christmas season with
Speaker 3: my partner because like I don't want to be I
Speaker 3: want to be seeing and mingle. I don't want to
Speaker 3: take them to my family events. So I feel like
Speaker 3: the eleventh is where they feel like it's the latest
Speaker 3: day of the year they can do it.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I agree. If you want to break up with someone,
Speaker 2: you've got to get that done with now. We'll dump
Speaker 2: them on air mate. We're not that kind of show.
Speaker 1: I would never you'd make me do it. I would
Speaker 1: do it. I would be fine.
Speaker 4: I'd end up dating them for five years, Like, let's
Speaker 4: don't come, don't let me if my exes have anything
Speaker 4: to do with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I stay in bad relationships. Imagine that my relationship
Speaker 2: now is great though. Sorry everyone, just.
Speaker 4: Okay, So back to dump day.
Speaker 1: Can I say you said all of that? We didn't
Speaker 1: ask one.
Speaker 2: I didn't actually say anything. I think we're talking about
Speaker 2: something else.
Speaker 4: Well, as it was coming out of my mouth, I
Speaker 4: realized I could have been very easily misconstrued as though,
Speaker 4: like my relationship now was bad, I'm staying in it. No,
Speaker 4: I'm married to an angel I was broken up with
Speaker 4: on Anzac Days.
Speaker 5: It's like train wreck, just digging a hole.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Brittan, I had moved on. Yeah, have you guys
Speaker 1: been broken up with a big holiday? Because now Anzac
Speaker 1: Day is always somber for me, not that it wasn't before, but.
Speaker 4: Days is a bit of a somber day as it
Speaker 4: is more Days is not about you to break it.
Speaker 2: It's not a bitch.
Speaker 1: As that came out. That was a Laura Byrn moment.
Speaker 1: Yeah all right, Well, welcome to a Wednesday pick up
Speaker 1: everybody next on the show, We've got pick up put
Speaker 1: down all the big stories of the week that I've
Speaker 1: compiled for you girls to get your judgment on. Get
Speaker 1: this working with Taylor Swift? Do you think she'd be
Speaker 1: a good boss or a bad boss?
Speaker 5: The best, but I think she'd be amazing.
Speaker 1: Well, what Taylor Swift gives out for bonuses to her
Speaker 1: personal staff has been released. It's really impressive. Okay, I
Speaker 1: can't wait to hear next on the Pickup. Hey, for
Speaker 1: the last time in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2: Oh, that feels sad.
Speaker 1: It is sad. Oh my god, we have to do
Speaker 1: this pick I have collated for the very last time
Speaker 1: the big news headlines of the week. I've done it overnight.
Speaker 1: I got to bed very late finding these stories and
Speaker 1: Britain Laura.
Speaker 2: So fresh for someone who stayed up all night.
Speaker 5: Man, Should I just love your dedication to the cause?
Speaker 7: Me?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm dedicated. I'm good employee. What I've done
Speaker 1: is I've got some new stories. You need to tell
Speaker 1: me whether we pick them up or we put them down,
Speaker 1: as in we never talk about them again and keep
Speaker 1: the conversation.
Speaker 2: What have you got for us today?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 1: Like I said up very late getting the big stories.
Speaker 5: Hey hit us with the big story.
Speaker 1: They go, well, I got put down sleeping with the
Speaker 1: fan on.
Speaker 5: What did you stay up all night with the fan on?
Speaker 2: This where they came from. Put it down. I've seen
Speaker 2: this everywhere. It's so viral at the moment, I love
Speaker 2: a fan at bed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, some experts they're warning against sleeping with a
Speaker 1: fan on. Apparently it can negatively impact your muscles and
Speaker 1: your sinus passive off, shut up a load, and your
Speaker 1: mental health. Fans are really coming for every aspect.
Speaker 4: We're eating microplastics every day. I think there's other things
Speaker 4: we need to worry about more than on microplastics all day.
Speaker 2: I don't know why you're in the microplastics era.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm in the microplastics point of the conversation because
Speaker 4: I just read something before walking in here that said that, like,
Speaker 4: men have microplastics in their testicles and women have them
Speaker 4: in the ovaries. Now, that's how many microplastics there are
Speaker 4: in the world everywhere. So when we have to think
Speaker 4: about like the big things that are happening in the world,
Speaker 4: sleep we the fan on doesn't feel that critical right now.
Speaker 5: By twenty fifty.
Speaker 2: I know you'll love this.
Speaker 5: By twenty fifty, there's going to be more.
Speaker 3: Plastic in the sea than fish. If you go fishing,
Speaker 3: you're gonna catch a plastic box.
Speaker 1: And get this. On average, every man and woman per
Speaker 1: per year peas out enough microplastics to make a lego.
Speaker 2: You made that up. You just made that up.
Speaker 1: Also were listening look googling. Microplastics were in me.
Speaker 2: I need to know.
Speaker 1: I had a great joke that no.
Speaker 6: One laughed at.
Speaker 5: It was very funny, Laura.
Speaker 1: Chick, don't make me repeat. Are you have to listen
Speaker 1: back to the show to get it all? Sorry?
Speaker 2: Guys, I have microplastics in my brain.
Speaker 1: We know, all right? Pick up, put down? Tim TAM's
Speaker 1: being voted the most popular biscuit in Australia for twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four.
Speaker 5: What yeah, I'd pick that up.
Speaker 3: I love a Tim Tam, I love a Timtam slam,
Speaker 3: I love a triple shock, I love a caramel, I
Speaker 3: love the white.
Speaker 5: I will eat them all.
Speaker 4: Okay, well, look, I mean I have nothing to add
Speaker 4: to that. I wholeheartedly agree. Do you want some stats? Honesty?
Speaker 1: There arenot's wrapped like Spotify wrap. I think that's really cool.
Speaker 1: I love Arnot's. More than three hundred million packets of
Speaker 1: Arnet's biscuits were purchased, three hundred million.
Speaker 2: Think of the microplastics.
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, sorry, it's funny.
Speaker 2: It was funny, all right.
Speaker 1: Pick up, put down. Taylor Swift giving out one one
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety seven a million dollars in bonuses to
Speaker 1: her errors, to her performance, staff and crew.
Speaker 2: Pick it up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, amazing, It is amazing.
Speaker 3: But it's also the equivalent of us giving like a
Speaker 3: twenty dollars one. She made two billion dollars on this
Speaker 3: tour alone, and she doesn't have to give that back.
Speaker 3: It's incredible, but that sum of money relative to her
Speaker 3: earnings is the same as US giving you twenty dollars.
Speaker 2: I would also love to know which we will do
Speaker 2: so generous.
Speaker 4: I would love to know how many employees she had,
Speaker 4: Like what does that look like per person? You know
Speaker 4: she could have had, but she could have had, like,
Speaker 4: you know, a thousand people working on it, and then
Speaker 4: I don't count in the mouth, so don't ask you to,
Speaker 4: but like thousands of ye see, maybe it was only
Speaker 4: a couple hundred each.
Speaker 1: You never know, you know what's crazy? I guess when
Speaker 1: you think about like a person being the business, it's
Speaker 1: so weird to think that she would have like hr,
Speaker 1: she'd have stuff, she'd have people that work under Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1: She is she makes more money than anyone than so
Speaker 1: many other businesses, so of course she set up.
Speaker 4: Like wise, she's rolling in it. One person does need
Speaker 4: two billion dollars. It's not possible. She couldn't have been
Speaker 4: that in a lifetime.
Speaker 1: With one Well she could. That private jet gets a
Speaker 1: lot of.
Speaker 2: Use, that's true.
Speaker 5: No, I think it's great.
Speaker 3: I think she's incredible, and I reckon she'd be a
Speaker 3: really cool boss.
Speaker 5: I genuinely think that.
Speaker 1: Well, listen someone that we sent to see Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1: Because Taylor wrapped up her Heirs tour in Vancouver, her
Speaker 1: final ever performance, we sent our beautiful listener Caroline. She
Speaker 1: won the tickets with us and we're going to I know,
Speaker 1: so cool. We're going to cross to her next to
Speaker 1: see what it was like. Let's go live to Vancouver, Canada, girls,
Speaker 1: because as you know, we gave away the trip of
Speaker 1: a lifetime.
Speaker 2: It was, I reckon, the best prize that we've had ever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, to get this, it was an accommodation to Vancouver
Speaker 1: to see Taylor Swift's final ever Eras tour, which happened
Speaker 1: only a few days ago. It's done for good now.
Speaker 5: It has to have been the prize of the year.
Speaker 5: And we have Caroline on the line live from Vancouver.
Speaker 5: We sent her there to see the last show. I
Speaker 5: am wildly jealous. Caroline. How was the very last eras
Speaker 5: to her?
Speaker 7: Hi, guys, Oh my gosh, it was unbelievable. We were
Speaker 7: sobbing the whole time. The energy was so high. We honestly,
Speaker 7: from start.
Speaker 6: To finish, we were just crying and like screaming with joy.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: But you went to it as well in Australia, right, like,
Speaker 4: this is the second time you've seen the show?
Speaker 7: Yeah, so the first time I actually like limped into
Speaker 7: the stadium at the MCG because I had my appendix out.
Speaker 6: Look.
Speaker 7: Oh, dedicated edication for both shows has just been a basic.
Speaker 7: Carolina was good to actually be able to walk in,
Speaker 7: well run in from the airport last night.
Speaker 1: I can imagine. So what was Taylor like, because I'd
Speaker 1: imagine she'd be absolutely emotional too, been doing this show
Speaker 1: for over two years.
Speaker 6: She was incredible.
Speaker 7: I don't even know how she got through the show
Speaker 7: without sobbing, like we were in a mess. And she
Speaker 7: was just so professional fun. She looked like she was
Speaker 7: having the time of her life. At the end, she
Speaker 7: was hugging all of her singers and had dances.
Speaker 6: Oh it was it was such a vibe. It was
Speaker 6: so great.
Speaker 4: To be fair, she was probably excited that she gets
Speaker 4: to spend some time with a boyfriend. Now she's like, God,
Speaker 4: I'm so she must be exhausted.
Speaker 5: But Caroline, how did it differ?
Speaker 3: Like, did she do something that was really special for
Speaker 3: the last show that she didn't do it any other show?
Speaker 7: So we actually didn't get the tortured poets in the
Speaker 7: mcg show, so we got that right. She also had
Speaker 7: obviously a lot more chatting with the audience, and she
Speaker 7: was just so much more, you know, I think reflective
Speaker 7: on the time that she had. Yeah, she did a
Speaker 7: bunch of the surprise songs, which was amazing.
Speaker 1: What did she do?
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, what did she do?
Speaker 7: Off the top of my head, she did the Romantics
Speaker 7: long lived Day Magnie script. She did so many it
Speaker 7: was just like song after song after song.
Speaker 1: Wow, did you get any friendship? Bracelets, Like, what was
Speaker 1: the energy like with all the Taylor fans, because I
Speaker 1: know that, like the friendship bracelets was such a part
Speaker 1: of this eras too massive, weren't they.
Speaker 6: So we actually got one on the fly. Our flight
Speaker 6: attendant saw.
Speaker 7: That we were swifties all in our yeah, and he
Speaker 7: gave us fun and he gave us free wine and
Speaker 7: he was like us off the plane earlier. Wow, it
Speaker 7: really is a phenomenon, isn't it, Random lady, Yeah, like
Speaker 7: random people that weren't even going in.
Speaker 6: They were just like happy that we were experiencing it.
Speaker 7: Or some people like in wedding dresses and wanting us
Speaker 7: to sign their dress.
Speaker 1: It was just so cool.
Speaker 4: I would imagine though, because it's the last one, so
Speaker 4: many people would have flown in for this, Like it
Speaker 4: wouldn't have just been people from Vancouver, it would have
Speaker 4: been people from all over the world.
Speaker 2: Like what an experience.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we heard a bunch of different accents, and I
Speaker 7: think everyone was just running on pure adrenaline, like the
Speaker 7: exhaustions starting to pick in today, but it was just
Speaker 7: like everyone just rallied to get there.
Speaker 3: Do you think there's any other moment that you're ever
Speaker 3: going to have in life that could compare to this moment.
Speaker 7: I don't think so. And I actually said to my partner,
Speaker 7: who I've left in Melbourne because I ditched him for
Speaker 7: the girls. I was like, you're not going to have
Speaker 7: a tough time trying to top this for the rest
Speaker 7: of our life.
Speaker 1: So good. What are you doing in Canada for the
Speaker 1: last few days? There's good Christmas markets.
Speaker 7: At the moment, we're at the Suspension Bridge, which is
Speaker 7: a massive Christmas light show, and we're actually about to
Speaker 7: jump in an uber to go to the Christmas market.
Speaker 6: We're seeing an ice hockey game.
Speaker 2: We've gone to so fun.
Speaker 1: Carolina, I think on behalf of the girls and we
Speaker 1: could not have chosen a better winner to represent our
Speaker 1: show and go to see Taylor in Vancouver. So we're
Speaker 1: so happy for you.
Speaker 6: Thank you so much.
Speaker 7: It has genuinely just been the trip of a lifetime
Speaker 7: and to have three of my best friends with you.
Speaker 8: We are very very grateful, Carol, Caroline enjoy the last holiday.
Speaker 2: Yes, thank you so much.
Speaker 6: You guys are amazing.
Speaker 2: They couldn't have been a better winner.
Speaker 4: Hey, mag someone who also just knowing all the names
Speaker 4: of the songs and everything, were you or everyone.
Speaker 6: Guys.
Speaker 2: No, I don't know any name.
Speaker 1: I went. What a good winner she had all a
Speaker 1: tasteful of teeth in the head hair.
Speaker 2: You couldn't have got a better friend. She breathes, so
Speaker 2: like you know, she's really all right.
Speaker 1: Next time the show. I just got a text from
Speaker 1: my parents in my family group chat. As you know,
Speaker 1: I live at home, but I'm doing well, so it's okay,
Speaker 1: thanks mich I think I'm gonna have to move out.
Speaker 1: My boyfriend and I have done something to the house
Speaker 1: when my parents are away, and I am that.
Speaker 2: Does not sound good.
Speaker 1: All bad.
Speaker 4: This is not I would say that this is more
Speaker 4: frequent than what you realize.
Speaker 1: Bitch, you know it's a real problem. That's why I'm
Speaker 1: asking my two dearest friends for some advice after this.
Speaker 1: I need to I'm actually mortified. Girls, What have you done? No,
Speaker 1: just generally this is bad.
Speaker 2: You say this every.
Speaker 1: Every This is my undoing. This is I'm actually mortified,
Speaker 1: and I haven't replied to my parents yet. We have
Speaker 1: a group chat. As you know, I'm twenty nine, very young, successful.
Speaker 1: I live at home. That's where the success ends and
Speaker 1: it starts, and it begins, and sadly finishes. I have
Speaker 1: a group chat called housemates, which is me, my sister,
Speaker 1: rate Jell, my parents.
Speaker 2: That's really cute.
Speaker 1: I like that my message comes through to housemates this morning.
Speaker 1: As we know on the show, we haven't revealed that
Speaker 1: my parents do make my bed sometimes, and that is
Speaker 1: because they know that I like freshly made sheets, so
Speaker 1: they do it as like a surprise, you've had a
Speaker 1: big week, We've done your bed sheets for you. So
Speaker 1: mum made my bed and she sent me a text
Speaker 1: and she said, hey, what has gone on here? So
Speaker 1: have a look at this photo. I want to So
Speaker 1: this is my bed sheets. This is the bed sheet
Speaker 1: that goes over the mattress and for context.
Speaker 5: Fed sheet.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, fitted cheap. I mean a relationship. We're still
Speaker 1: in that phase where we getting lot lots going on.
Speaker 1: So I actually think what's happened is I've worn through.
Speaker 3: The sheet has holes in it from holding on from friction.
Speaker 1: I think their friction ship, their friction.
Speaker 5: Knee friction spots.
Speaker 1: They're not me.
Speaker 4: Yes, there that's a pair of knees.
Speaker 5: They're next to each other.
Speaker 1: Why my knees in the middle of the bed someone
Speaker 1: else's Yeah, yeah, How do you explain that to your mother. Well,
Speaker 1: that's exactly right. I don't know I need to come
Speaker 1: up with something to say. You have her in mad No,
Speaker 1: you literally got it like an hour.
Speaker 2: And a half.
Speaker 5: I know what you can say. You blame the moths.
Speaker 3: Always moths like moths put holes in clothes and sheets
Speaker 3: all the time.
Speaker 5: So just say you've been sleeping with moths.
Speaker 4: Unless those moths came from the Jurassic error. I don't
Speaker 4: think that that's gonna fly. What are you gonna say, Laura,
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think you could say the moths.
Speaker 1: But can you can you rub through bed sheets?
Speaker 2: Well you have.
Speaker 5: I think you've answered your own questions.
Speaker 2: Okay, Like I mean, I've not ever rubbed through a
Speaker 2: shame all for.
Speaker 4: You living at home. I have nothing negative to say
Speaker 4: about it. But there is a line, and that line
Speaker 4: should be your parents still making your bed like you're
Speaker 4: twenty nine.
Speaker 5: If you're gonna ruw, grow up, if you're.
Speaker 3: Gonna rub through your straight face, if you're gonna run,
Speaker 3: I'll say it.
Speaker 5: If you're gonna rub through your bed sheets, Mitch.
Speaker 4: If you're gonna rub another man through your bed shehirts,
Speaker 4: your mom should not be making your.
Speaker 5: Bed, or at least pull the blanket up so she
Speaker 5: can't see the evidence. Don't don't scroll, Laura. You don't
Speaker 5: scroll through someone's phone ever.

Speaker 4: and you put your knee through it. You put your
Speaker 4: knee through the sheet. The sheets they were wearing down,
Speaker 4: they're old.
