Speaker 1: The Pickup with Britt Hockley and Laura Burn.
Speaker 2: Radio work, our windows, my world risen the dust, only
Speaker 2: good babs all day.
Speaker 1: I don't much, but yeah I'm not.
Speaker 3: I'll biguet and what I want. It don't matter where
Speaker 3: does This.
Speaker 2: Is the Pickup? Happy Friday everyone, It's the Pickout with
Speaker 2: Brett Harkley and Laura Burn.
Speaker 4: I am genuinely so excited about this weekend. So often
Speaker 4: I have no plans and no friends, but this weekend,
Speaker 4: I do.
Speaker 1: You have me and we have plans.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Laura and.
Speaker 4: I are going to the F one, the car racing,
Speaker 4: which I'm so excited about.
Speaker 1: Are you particularly into cars?
Speaker 3: Do you know what?
Speaker 4: I grew up watching the F one every weekend with
Speaker 4: my dad because he would sit down for out.
Speaker 3: It would be his whole day. And it's not to know. Yep.
Speaker 4: He's a huge race car, like huge inter race cars.
Speaker 4: So it was always on my screens. And I wasn't
Speaker 4: necessarily into it, but I was into it because it
Speaker 4: was something I watched with my dad, if that makes sense.
Speaker 3: So it's not like I frothed the F one, but
Speaker 3: it's just what we did.
Speaker 2: I had never paid a lot of attention to it
Speaker 2: until obviously being in a relationship with my husband Matt,
Speaker 2: who is obsessed, like he's always followed it, and then
Speaker 2: when I found that out about him, I found it
Speaker 2: really unusual. I was like, you, you're a closet redhead. So
Speaker 2: and he really likes his cars too, which was also
Speaker 2: a revelation when I discovered.
Speaker 3: That a rev elation revs what.
Speaker 1: I didn't even pick up on that.
Speaker 4: If you haven't watched it yet, Laura or anyone, you
Speaker 4: don't have to be a car head to enjoy it.
Speaker 4: But the f one documentary, I think it's Drive to Survive.
Speaker 4: I really thoroughly enjoyed it, and.
Speaker 3: It's so like bitchy and like what, yes, it's not
Speaker 3: what you think.
Speaker 4: It's about all of the race car drivers and being
Speaker 4: swapped in between teams and taking people's jobs and.
Speaker 3: Like it's really not what you think it's going to be.
Speaker 3: I think that you'd be really into it.
Speaker 1: The internal car scandal.
Speaker 3: The politics of the car.
Speaker 2: We also get to go and see Tones and Eye
Speaker 2: this Saturday night too, so it's gonna be a big weekend.
Speaker 2: Lots of things to update you guys on when we
Speaker 2: come back on Monday. Now, look, I question whether or
Speaker 2: not we should talk about this, But.
Speaker 3: I nah, I think we talk about it's funny.
Speaker 2: I don't know whether or not I should be thrilled
Speaker 2: or offended.
Speaker 1: Like I'm still sitting on the fence. I fluctuate between
Speaker 1: the two.
Speaker 2: Recently, Britain, I came into work and as a gift,
Speaker 2: it was a gift.
Speaker 3: It was a beautiful gift.
Speaker 1: Sitting on taking a big box, not gonna lie.
Speaker 3: I love a gift, love a surprise gift.
Speaker 2: Like especially when that gift is skincare. You do too,
Speaker 2: britt Like you love a bit of skincare, sick for it.
Speaker 1: So here is this big old.
Speaker 2: Box with skin care inside from a brand that I
Speaker 2: had not heard of before, mind you, But I was
Speaker 2: like cool, happy to try, very excited about this. And
Speaker 2: I excitedly opened the box and there were many layers,
Speaker 2: lots of packaging, and then I got it out and
Speaker 2: I was like.
Speaker 3: Okay, it's a serum.
Speaker 1: Love serums, delightful.
Speaker 2: I need a bit of serum on my face that's
Speaker 2: gonna make me feel glowy and fresh.
Speaker 3: Quite a niche serum.
Speaker 2: And then I read the back of the box of
Speaker 2: the serum that had been so generously sent to our work,
Speaker 2: and it said this, it is a transformative serum designed
Speaker 2: for women over forty navigating menopause. And I read that
Speaker 2: and I was like, well, I'm still technically under VADI
Speaker 2: and I am.
Speaker 1: As far as i'm aware, I'm not yet in menopause.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 4: I had to have a laugh because I was like,
Speaker 4: I also was like, this a backhanded compliment.
Speaker 3: I mean, you, Laura, I'm gonna say, I get it.
Speaker 3: You've got your kids.
Speaker 1: What do I scream menopause?
Speaker 3: Dude, I mean the kid's part, not the age. But
Speaker 3: I'm like cool for me, I'm publicly, like, have fertility issues.
Speaker 3: I'm doing IVF.
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's IVYERI menopause.
Speaker 3: Well, maybe I am. Maybe that's not why it's not
Speaker 3: happening for me.
Speaker 2: Maybe I am in medialul True. I joke, and it's
Speaker 2: not a funny thing to.
Speaker 3: Joke about it. It's not at all. Take that back. No,
Speaker 3: I actually said to myself, maybe I am in perimenopause
Speaker 3: and that's why they've sent it.
Speaker 4: But I was like, I'm publicly trying to do IVF
Speaker 4: and someone sent me in menopause cream.
Speaker 3: I was like, have I missed the boat?
Speaker 2: I don't know, I got this, and my instant reaction
Speaker 2: was to feel offended. And then I kind of checked
Speaker 2: myself and I was like, why is it that, at
Speaker 2: thirty eight years old, I find the idea of menopause
Speaker 2: so offensive because the reality is so many women do
Speaker 2: go through early menopause or they go through perimenopause can take.
Speaker 1: Up many years, and like, forty is not far off.
Speaker 2: Like I turned thirty nine in a couple of weeks,
Speaker 2: so like, to be fair, the brand is not far
Speaker 2: off being you know, aligned with the age that I'm at.
Speaker 3: I'm still thirty seven.
Speaker 1: But I think that there were.
Speaker 2: I just want to say the reference, there was something
Speaker 2: about receiving it that maybe it wasn't so much even
Speaker 2: the menopause reference. I think there was something about it
Speaker 2: that made me really realize my age. And I think
Speaker 2: I was like processing that in real time because I
Speaker 2: also kind of I read it and then I felt offended,
Speaker 2: and then I was like, Oh, it looks good, I'll
Speaker 2: probably use it.
Speaker 3: Oh no, it looks like a brilliant cream. It's got
Speaker 3: some really good things, and I think it's got some
Speaker 3: good peptides in it.
Speaker 4: I'm one hundred percent going to use it as much
Speaker 4: as we loll and say we're not in menopause.
Speaker 3: I think it would be really good for us kids.
Speaker 2: Okay, here's my question. I mean, you don't have to
Speaker 2: call up, you can if you want to. But would
Speaker 2: you be offended?
Speaker 1: Is this a normal thing? Be offended byra We're just
Speaker 1: taking this too personal.
Speaker 3: Well, now that you.
Speaker 4: Said out loud that you're about to turn thirty nine
Speaker 4: and it's for forty year old people, I grow up, Laura, Yeah,
Speaker 4: for you, I think that's a stretch for me at
Speaker 4: thirty seven.
Speaker 3: I think it's I've got a couple of years left.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 2: But maybe it's because, like, no female wants to be
Speaker 2: aged up, Like we've been so conditioned to think that
Speaker 2: being younger is better, younger skin is hotter, all this
Speaker 2: sort of you know crap. But reality is is, like
Speaker 2: no one wants to be thought of as being older
Speaker 2: than what they are. And I guess like receiving something
Speaker 2: that's specifically targeted for women who are in a different
Speaker 2: stage of life, a stage that we're all told we
Speaker 2: should be frightened about, there's something that feels quite obvious
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, we are grateful, thank you for the cream. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm processing anyway.
Speaker 2: If Cedar Phil wants to send some stuff my way,
Speaker 2: I suse that's fourteen year olds, right?
Speaker 1: Is that what you use when you're like young and.
Speaker 3: Well was heading to Keem's warehouse. There's loads of stuff
Speaker 3: in there.
Speaker 2: Now there is I guess the kind of assumption that
Speaker 2: as the longer in a relationship, the more that you're
Speaker 2: your love life kind of winds and dies off.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's an assumption. I think it's pre standard.
Speaker 4: I think that's absolutely what happens, like you stay in love,
Speaker 4: but maybe the chemistry and the want to trip each
Speaker 4: other's clothes off and all of the above sort of
Speaker 4: like plateaus a little bit over time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And we talk about this quite a bit on
Speaker 2: our podcast that we have Life on Cut Podcasts. And
Speaker 2: that's because I mean, it started off as a sex
Speaker 2: and relationships podcast. So one of the big questions is like,
Speaker 2: how do you keep desire alive and a long term relationship?
Speaker 1: How do you keep the spark alive?
Speaker 3: Is it normal?
Speaker 1: Is it even possible to do so?
Speaker 2: And many of the experts that we've spoken to over
Speaker 2: the years have said yes, it is possible, but like
Speaker 2: it requires burk blah blah blah, all that sort of.
Speaker 3: Stuff bla blah blah blah. We don't need to tell
Speaker 3: you about that.
Speaker 1: We don't want you to keep you here to fix
Speaker 1: your love life.
Speaker 2: But I did come across an interesting study and it
Speaker 2: turns out maybe your pajamas have something to do with
Speaker 2: the fact that your sex life is dwindling.
Speaker 3: Oh we're gonna blame our pajamas now, Wow, no one
Speaker 3: is safe.
Speaker 1: I have a question, how do you sleep at night?
Speaker 3: Bret? What with my morals or my life choices? Well,
Speaker 3: how do you sleep at that?
Speaker 2: No, if you're because you obviously do long distance with
Speaker 2: your partner Ben, he lives overseas. But when you're together,
Speaker 2: how do you sleep? Do you wear pajamas? Do you
Speaker 2: wear a pair of.
Speaker 3: Undies a trap in?
Speaker 4: When I'm at home alone, I sleep in underpants and
Speaker 4: like a pajama top. Something that's comfortable, like a really
Speaker 4: nice soft cotton is my choice.
Speaker 2: Love the airy breezy Yeah, I love that, but I
Speaker 2: do like the legs to be free same because I
Speaker 2: want to kick around.
Speaker 3: I sleep in running.
Speaker 4: Man, not no g strings. To bear, but you cannot
Speaker 4: sleep in a g banger. That's like defying the rules
Speaker 4: of physics. So when when I'm with my fiance Ben,
Speaker 4: I'm either nude or just in undies, but I never
Speaker 4: have a top half on ever, So sometimes.
Speaker 3: The undies are like a bit of a sexy I
Speaker 3: don't have to say safety net. I was gonna say,
Speaker 3: it's more of a comfort.
Speaker 2: So sorry, am I giving I met my girl friends here.
Speaker 2: The thing is is that there's a study that's.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: I'm in a long term relationship with my loving husband
Speaker 2: who I am very comfortable with, and I sleep in
Speaker 2: underwear and a T shirt pretty much every night.
Speaker 3: You sleep gesturing, don't you no? Never, my body would
Speaker 3: not allow it.
Speaker 2: That's crazy suck after two kids far out, I'm never
Speaker 2: getting asleep. Lose it anyway, that's too much information for everyone.
Speaker 2: But I sleep in like an ugly T shirt, and
Speaker 2: I do I know that this is like I shouldn't
Speaker 2: say it's a protection mechanism, but it's like, if I
Speaker 2: need to go to sleep, I'm going to sleep. I'm
Speaker 2: not there for fun times at night time. I just
Speaker 2: want to get into bed, I want to roll over.
Speaker 2: I'm tired, and I know that if I was to
Speaker 2: fall asleep completely nude, it would be misunderstood as giving
Speaker 2: a signal that maybe I'd be more into other things
Speaker 2: than what I am into my sleeping.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's given a signal. Hang on, what's
Speaker 3: the point of this chat.
Speaker 2: The point of this chat is this study that's come
Speaker 2: out has said that wearing sleepwear like fleece onesies, flannel pjs, yes,
Speaker 2: that it might make you feel relaxed, but it is
Speaker 2: absolutely killing your sex life. It is sending a message
Speaker 2: that attraction is not a priority. There's a relationship coach,
Speaker 2: her name is Channa Bromley, and she's said that when
Speaker 2: you choose comfort over seduction, it can impact the chemistry
Speaker 2: between you and your partner. And I would agree, but
Speaker 2: I argue it's not always about being To be fair,
Speaker 2: I did exaggerate a lot.
Speaker 4: I actually have this really old grungy T shirt. I
Speaker 4: whear it's not really nice soft cotton pajamas. It's an
Speaker 4: old ac DC shirt. But when I'm with Ben walking
Speaker 4: around the house to go to Ben, I will just
Speaker 4: put his clothes on. So I think that that's probably
Speaker 4: pretty repulsive to him to look at me in his
Speaker 4: own clothes.
Speaker 5: Nah.
Speaker 3: I think guys like that their own clothes. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: think that that's fine.
Speaker 1: Is that hot? Maybe? I don't know. I wear Matt's clothes?
Speaker 1: Does he find out? Who knows? Let's ask him.
Speaker 2: But apparently sixty two percent of people who continue to
Speaker 2: sleep nude with their partners say that they have more
Speaker 2: satisfying intimacy than those who wear I don't know, maybe
Speaker 2: like your cozy Peter Alexander pajamas have a bear on
Speaker 2: the front.
Speaker 4: I'm not convinced we needed to study to figure out
Speaker 4: that sleeping naked like you're more inclined to get it
Speaker 4: on than sleeping in like old discussing clothes.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I just kind of think like there's so many things
Speaker 2: that we can feel guilty about. Surely, after ten years
Speaker 2: of being with your partner, your arms, you're allowed to
Speaker 2: wear pajamas that are just for comfort and aren't for
Speaker 2: sex appeal? Like not everything that you need to do
Speaker 2: should be about seduction.
Speaker 4: Why don't you go and try it out tonight, Laura,
Speaker 4: see what happens, Go to bed, no shirt on, little
Speaker 4: g banger, and report back, because that's the only way
Speaker 4: to really solidify this study.
Speaker 2: The problem that I have is that my husband comes
Speaker 2: to bed too late. So I go to bed at
Speaker 2: nine thirty at the moment, do you yeah, nine thirty,
Speaker 2: ten o'clock, But he comes to bed at eleven thirty
Speaker 2: at night, and so like for me, my argument is like,
Speaker 2: that is an unrealistic expectation. If you come to bed
Speaker 2: at eleven thirty at night, ain't nothing happening except sleeping.
Speaker 3: So if he comes to bed at nine thirty, it's
Speaker 3: on the yeah, then until nine thirty three.
Speaker 1: You've got until nine thirty until nine forty five. With
Speaker 1: that window is not happened, and it's not happened.
Speaker 3: In power, the shirt's gone back on.
Speaker 1: Literally.
Speaker 2: We are playing this the Pickups Quest for the Best.
Speaker 2: All week we have been teasing our competition for the
Speaker 2: Quest of the Best, which is so many of you
Speaker 2: have written in you have entered this and it is
Speaker 2: us trying to find the unsung heroes of Australia. And
Speaker 2: there have been some truly incredible people who have been nominated.
Speaker 2: But the other day we had a guy named Adam
Speaker 2: call up to nominate a woman named Fiona who works
Speaker 2: at his local pizza shop. Who has just been the
Speaker 2: most incredibly generous, kind a wonderful listener. But she's made
Speaker 2: such an impact on him that that was the reason
Speaker 2: why he wanted to nominate her. And it is our
Speaker 2: time to give her a call and to let Fiona
Speaker 2: know that she has won a competition that she never
Speaker 2: even knew that she was entered in, and she's gonna
Speaker 2: win five thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: I'm so excited.
Speaker 4: I hope she's not listening to the radio right now
Speaker 4: when you speak, gonna be awkward.
Speaker 3: She's at work and she's got a plane, but we're
Speaker 3: gonna call.
Speaker 4: I think I'm gonna just try and like order a pizza,
Speaker 4: couple of pizzas from us and see what she does,
Speaker 4: and then I will surprise it with my let's give
Speaker 4: her a buzz.
Speaker 5: Gonzos. How can I up here?
Speaker 3: Oh?

Speaker 3: right if I order for like seven pm?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah, it is? He no problem.
Speaker 3: Oh thanks?
Speaker 5: What can I do for you?
Speaker 3: Well, what's like your most popular pizza?
Speaker 5: So we've got like a gourmet sort of vegetarian pizza.
Speaker 5: It's got like roasted egg plant, roasted fire capskins, fett cheese,
Speaker 5: bit of pesto on it as well.
Speaker 4: To throw that one in ye, and then that you
Speaker 4: had like a Caesar pizza.
Speaker 5: Yeah, sure that's pretty popular as well.
Speaker 4: Is it weird to put pineapple on a Caesar pizza?
Speaker 5: In you? I don't think that's weird at all. I
Speaker 5: think that's pretty cool. So bafet salty combo with the
Speaker 5: creamy so yeah, yeah, could work.
Speaker 3: And that's it for me, Thank you.
Speaker 5: No problem though. Also, can I just if it's okay
Speaker 5: with you? We've changed the recipe for our canole's just
Speaker 5: we've had like supply issues what have you? Alright, if
Speaker 5: I like bring you a pack of canolis and then
Speaker 5: you just let us know, like if they tastes nice
Speaker 5: or if they sort of taste a bit funny.
Speaker 4: I would love nothing more than to try that. Thanks
Speaker 4: so much, and so sorry? How much was that?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm just working it out now. Sorry. We've just

Speaker 5: of my love. No, I'm just chatting to my brother.
Speaker 5: I'm just I don't usually work here often. I come
Speaker 5: here when he's a bit short. So all together that
Speaker 5: comes to forty three.
Speaker 3: Ninety okay, perfect. Does anyone ever give you a tip?
Speaker 1: Fion?
Speaker 3: Because that was so nice.
Speaker 1: What you just said.
Speaker 5: A lot of old people say I'm nice. I don't know.
Speaker 5: I just think it's just nice to be a good person.
Speaker 5: I suppose.
Speaker 4: How does a five thousand dollar tip sound to you?
Speaker 5: Oh? What's going on?
Speaker 1: I've just won five thousand dollars. It's written Laura from
Speaker 1: the pickup?
Speaker 5: Are you serious?
Speaker 2: And you you don't even know this, but you were
Speaker 2: nominated by one of your amazing customers, Adam, who honestly
Speaker 2: has just said that you are the most generous and
Speaker 2: kind and wonderful human that he has such a joy
Speaker 2: and pleasure.
Speaker 1: Of coming in and seeing you every week when a
