Speaker 2: what do I say? The girls here? Then you guys
Speaker 2: don't go yeah, and the boy.
Speaker 4: I just took my jumper off and I managed to
Speaker 4: get my headphones. I didn't take the headphones off to
Speaker 4: take the jumper off, and so then I inside.
Speaker 1: Or is the kind of person that like, she's got
Speaker 1: an hour to take her jacket off. And then the
Speaker 1: moment that the show intro starts playing, we're on air,
Speaker 1: and I go three seconds to Laura, tell you you
Speaker 1: think I'm going to get completely changed and dye my hair?
Speaker 3: Bitch.
Speaker 5: I have been doing the podcast Life Uncut with Laura
Speaker 5: for four years, every day without fail.
Speaker 3: We sit down and we're about to record. She goes, oh,
Speaker 3: I've got to do a quick poo.
Speaker 2: Got to do it. Never's poop.
Speaker 4: It's not nervous, it's not nervous. I just know that
Speaker 4: we record for so long, so I just know it'll
Speaker 4: creep up on me. Better to do it before than me.
Speaker 3: But you wait, You'll be sitting there for like an
Speaker 3: hour and.
Speaker 1: Then right before you know that the podcasts recorded. You
Speaker 1: can just stop and yeah, but.
Speaker 4: It ruins the flow if you got to go and
Speaker 4: take a break, it ruins the momentum. Okay, do you
Speaker 4: know what I see?
Speaker 2: Dead people? That's what I saw.
Speaker 3: A ghost.
Speaker 4: Everyone, it happened to me.
Speaker 3: I think she's still caught up with the headphones cutting
Speaker 3: off blood situation.
Speaker 4: Okay, look, we joke, we joke, but actually I had
Speaker 4: something really I don't even know how to describe it.
Speaker 4: It's something very very supernatural. Happened to me the other night.
Speaker 4: I've never had an experience like it, and I honestly think.
Speaker 1: I saw a ghost, right, And you're going to share
Speaker 1: it with us, Yeah, I can't wait for that.
Speaker 2: I'm going to keep it to myself.
Speaker 1: Mitchka, very funny. The mood is odd today in the show,
Speaker 1: We've got to keep it afloat. Yeah, get the pickup
Speaker 1: thanks to Chemist's Warehouse heading today great savings every day. Hey,
Speaker 1: it's the pick up right around the country Wednesday with Britt,
Speaker 1: Laura and Mitch. Listen, you need to rush into Chemists Warehouse.
Speaker 1: They got half price off vitamins and cosmetics. Tell a friend,
Speaker 1: teas and seas apply a chemist warehouse, great savings every day.
Speaker 3: This is very fitting music. You said you have a
Speaker 3: ghost story.
Speaker 2: Laura has a ghost story. Everyone and Britt and I.
Speaker 1: I kind of taken the mickey out of it, but
Speaker 1: your breath was taken away when you told us this morning.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I cried.
Speaker 4: And now you're taking and making fun of me.
Speaker 3: Because I believe in ghosts. I'm here for it.
Speaker 4: I'm a skeptic, Okay, I'm a skeptic with anything that
Speaker 4: you could think is kind of mildly woo woo, even
Speaker 4: for me. I'm like, oh, meditation feels a bit much.
Speaker 2: Even Byron bayfreaks.
Speaker 3: Meditation is science.
Speaker 2: Like Laura walks past a tree of life and she shudders.
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't come to me with any sort of herbal medicine.
Speaker 2: I take it back.
Speaker 4: Look, I've always sort of said that I am far
Speaker 4: more of a skeptic and it is very challenging to
Speaker 4: make me believe any of this sort of stuff now
Speaker 4: not Britt. I know that you have said many times
Speaker 4: that you think that you have seen a ghost.
Speaker 2: I've dated one before. Yep, he just disappeared one day,
Speaker 2: was just very very white.
Speaker 4: No, so the other night it was. It was the
Speaker 4: night before Father's Day. And to give you some context,
Speaker 4: So my grandfather, my papa, he passed away two years ago,
Speaker 4: and he was someone who I was incredibly close with.
Speaker 4: I lived with him growing up. He was my father
Speaker 4: figure growing up, and we had an incredible relationship. So
Speaker 4: when he passed away, it felt like losing my dad.
Speaker 4: And I mean, I have my dad and we have
Speaker 4: a great relationship, but he was like my second dad.
Speaker 4: And I find it really hard to remember exactly what
Speaker 4: he looks like unless I'm looking at a photo or
Speaker 4: unless I'm watching a video. I find it really hard
Speaker 4: to recall his face. I can recall features, but I
Speaker 4: can't really recall him perfectly. And usually it's when I
Speaker 4: am recalling it, I'm recalling a picture of him that
Speaker 4: I have saved as my screensaver on my thumb.
Speaker 3: You're not recalling the actual moment, but the picture of
Speaker 3: the moment. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And anyways, so I went to bed, I shut
Speaker 4: my eyes and I was in that sort of you know,
Speaker 4: that little bit of twilight sleep where you're not quite asleep,
Speaker 4: but you're still very much awakening in your mind.
Speaker 2: Off.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I had this I had this profound image
Speaker 4: of him that it sounds so weird to say, but
Speaker 4: I had my eyes closed and I had this real
Speaker 4: sense that he was in the room. I had my
Speaker 4: eyes shut, but I could see him sitting there and
Speaker 4: he was holding my hand, and he just and he
Speaker 4: just looked so happy. And I had this real moment
Speaker 4: where I was like, and I said to Matt, I
Speaker 4: was like, Matt, my husband. I was like, Papa's here.
Speaker 3: I was like what, And I was like, he's in
Speaker 3: the room.
Speaker 4: And Matt was like what. It's it's eleven o'clock at night,
Speaker 4: and he passed away two years ago, so I'm going
Speaker 4: to guess he's not. But I really felt like for
Speaker 4: that moment that he was in the room with me
Speaker 4: and that he was holding my hand. And it's the
Speaker 4: only time I've ever experienced anything like that, and it
Speaker 4: I was sorry. I didn't expect that i'd cry, but
Speaker 4: it was so very real and I've never ever felt
Speaker 4: that close to him since he'd passed away.
Speaker 5: That's really beautiful, and I mean, someone that believes in it.
Speaker 5: For me, without doubt, he was in the room with you.
Speaker 5: He was really there.
Speaker 3: He for some.
Speaker 5: Reason might have known that you needed him at that time.
Speaker 5: It was just before Father's Day. Maybe he thought, now
Speaker 5: it's the time I'm going to show myself to her
Speaker 5: and let her know that it's okay. But I truly
Speaker 5: believe he was one hundred percent there and that you,
Speaker 5: whether you knew it or not, you needed to have
Speaker 5: that experience.
Speaker 1: Well out of interest laws, what did did when you
Speaker 1: saw him? Because you said that you can't really picture
Speaker 1: his face other than the photo.
Speaker 2: Where was he like? Was he old papa? Was he
Speaker 2: like a younger papa?
Speaker 4: No, so he was my memory of him from when
Speaker 4: I was in my sort of twenties, and he was,
Speaker 4: so he was younger, but he just it was It
Speaker 4: was bright and it was light, which is what was
Speaker 4: so weird, because when you're in the dark and you
Speaker 4: got your eyes closed, even your memories are dark.
Speaker 2: But I was awake and it was light.
Speaker 4: And and he was just sitting there and he was
Speaker 4: holding my hand, but I felt like he was holding
Speaker 4: my hand.
Speaker 2: I honestly can't describe.
Speaker 4: It was the weirdest experience I've ever had. And for
Speaker 4: someone who is truly the most skeptical person when it
Speaker 4: comes to anything that's otherworldly, it was really really beautiful
Speaker 4: and I just felt so close to him.
Speaker 3: Again, that's so nice. So can we officially say you're
Speaker 3: on team ghost now?
Speaker 2: I see dead people off if I play is that off?
Speaker 2: If I play that? I love you and I think
Speaker 2: it's a beautiful story.
Speaker 3: But background, we needed something to live that.
Speaker 2: Up a little bit.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 4: I would love to know, though, if you ever felt
Speaker 4: like you've seen a ghost or you've had an experience
Speaker 4: like that, just contact us at the pickup because we
Speaker 4: would love to hear your story.
Speaker 1: And if you are listening and you are a ghost
Speaker 1: six five, i'd love to hear. I'm still a skeptic guy,
Speaker 1: so I need to be converted. Never seen a ghost.
Speaker 5: One day I'll tell you some of my ghost stories.
Speaker 5: I have some crazy, crazy guys.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm the next one to be converted here on
Speaker 1: the pickup, so I'll have an experience and then i'll
Speaker 1: let you guys know.
Speaker 2: I'll send Papa your way. I actually have a Papa,
Speaker 2: and yeah, he's with us.
Speaker 3: I know. I saw him.
Speaker 2: I saw him for Father's Day in real life on
Speaker 2: my bed. He held my hand, bit on the nose.
Speaker 2: I love you. Sorry, As I was saying this, I
Speaker 2: thought that was on the nose. I'm apologizing to you,
Speaker 2: Laura girl.
Speaker 3: I have a papa too, but he's real.
Speaker 1: All right, you're on the pickup with Britt, Laura and Mitch. Hello,
Speaker 1: Welcome right around the country or thanks to Chemist Warehouse
Speaker 1: heading today Great Savings every Day.
Speaker 5: Yesterday I was telling you about my sister living over
Speaker 5: in Scotland. She moved over there with her husband Jay
Speaker 5: because he's Scottish. Now my boyfriend Ben also lives over
Speaker 5: in Scotland, yes, and I feel like she stepped into
Speaker 5: my life. She's doing everything that I do over there
Speaker 5: with Ben. They're all staying together at their house. They're
Speaker 5: going out and playing golf, They're going to my favorite restaurants.
Speaker 5: They're going to watch him play football. But I was like,
Speaker 5: oh my god, she's living a life I want to
Speaker 5: live with the person I want to live it with.
Speaker 5: And it got us into this interesting conversation. I wonder
Speaker 5: how many people have not that this is a thing
Speaker 5: with us, But I wonder how many people have ended
Speaker 5: up dating someone and then splitting with them to date
Speaker 5: their sibling.
Speaker 3: I was like, surely that's not a thing.
Speaker 1: I don't think that can be a thing, because does
Speaker 1: that that would insinuate that while you were dating your partner,
Speaker 1: you were kind of having eyes on the sibling.
Speaker 4: You Okay, I feel like this would tear a family apart,
Speaker 4: and I like that You're very clear in saying, now,
Speaker 4: this is not happening to me.
Speaker 3: No, I'm just curious.
Speaker 4: Well, because Jay and Sherry.
Speaker 5: Are over there together with Ben Or they're all having
Speaker 5: this amazing like connection. They're getting to know each other
Speaker 5: without me, and that's what started the conversation.
Speaker 1: Well, we spoke about this on the show yesterday and
Speaker 1: then we went on to sleep, woke up DM's galore. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is an actual thing that has happened to a
Speaker 1: couple people. So we thought, let's chat to them and
Speaker 1: see if it has destroyed their families. Tell a novella style.
Speaker 5: Well, coincidentally, what a great name we've had, Rose.
Speaker 1: Oh that is so bold in the beautiful Rose. What happened?
Speaker 1: What's what's the drama? Tell us everything?
Speaker 6: Okay, so many years ago when I was like, you
Speaker 6: know much younger.
Speaker 7: Pretty are That's not the thing.
Speaker 2: I'm very beautiful.
Speaker 6: One of my first ever boyfriends, I was eighteen, and
Speaker 6: you know, when guys just get a little bit too clinging.
Speaker 6: They get a bit too annoying. They're messaging you all
Speaker 6: the time, and it's like suffocating you. So that was
Speaker 6: sort of.
Speaker 3: Starting to happen.
Speaker 4: Can you blame them?
Speaker 2: Rose? What happened?
Speaker 6: And then like I had met his brother a couple
Speaker 6: of times when I was at his house, and his
Speaker 6: brother was sort of like the better version of him,
Speaker 6: so like less annoying, better looking, smarter, like the Oranges
Speaker 6: own business, et cetera. Anyway, I saw the brother out
Speaker 6: one night. I was a bit drunk. We were got it,
Speaker 6: getting shots together, ended up kissing, and then I was like, Okay,
Speaker 6: now I'm gonna have to break up with.
Speaker 7: The annoying younger brother.
Speaker 6: So I did it. The older brother and I kept
Speaker 6: on talking, uh and then yeah, a few months later,
Speaker 6: I was back at the house and then everything came
Speaker 6: out in the open, and then I had to sit
Speaker 6: up family dinners with like everyone there, and we just
Speaker 6: made jumps.
Speaker 4: About how long did you date the older brother?
Speaker 2: For like a year?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 6: And then obviously it wasn't our separate ways after that?
Speaker 5: Did he know that you guys cheated or does he
Speaker 5: think you just got together after?
Speaker 4: I think she has an idea what happened between the
Speaker 4: two brothers, like did they have a fight?
Speaker 3: Was their words like high five? Surely it wasn't.
Speaker 6: Just there was a bit of tension. There was a
Speaker 6: bit of beef.
Speaker 4: But I don't know.
Speaker 6: I guess ro let's just get out of that sort
Speaker 6: of stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, bro, famously not. That's not how brothers work. Hold on,
Speaker 1: We've got stuff as well. On thirteen one of sixty five,
Speaker 1: this happened more than we thought.
Speaker 7: Hi, So I was dating this guy for about a year,
Speaker 7: like things were like pretty serious. I was a bit younger,
Speaker 7: I was in my sort of mid twenty and he
Speaker 7: broke up with me for my sister. Now, my sister
Speaker 7: and I didn't really there were some issues with us anyway,
Speaker 7: but we haven't spoken since and that was like five
Speaker 7: years ago.
Speaker 2: Wow are they still together?
Speaker 7: No, they're not.
Speaker 4: So you have no relationship at all with your sister
Speaker 4: now because of this betrayal.
Speaker 5: Yes they did they cheat or did this happen after
Speaker 5: the fact?
Speaker 7: Oh, they denied it, but I wouldn't put it past them.
Speaker 3: It's just I don't know why.
Speaker 2: It HiT's different for sisters.
Speaker 3: It hits different, Like I feel like the brother thing.
Speaker 3: It is bad. No, it's bad.
Speaker 5: But for some reason, maybe because I'm so close with
Speaker 5: my sister, I just not would never happen, but it
Speaker 5: just HiT's different when the sister betrays your I think, yeah, well.
Speaker 1: With the boys were like did you high five and
Speaker 1: go get a steak to celebrate?
Speaker 2: And now we're like disgusting. Yeah, feminism an awful disgusting.
Speaker 4: I can't believe it. What did your parents think of this?
Speaker 7: They weren't obviously condoning it, but again, what do you do?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 7: They have to be parents, so they can't really take sight.
Speaker 4: He's not coming over for Christmas dinner.
Speaker 1: Nanny, these stories we should take them and just write
Speaker 1: like a stand original scene lead all right, next on
Speaker 1: the pickup? How long do you guys think? Don't answer?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 1: Is the longest you could stay awake? And I'm talking days,
Speaker 1: not hours, because I think a new record has been set.
Speaker 1: But somehow, with your schedule and your children, Laura, I
Speaker 1: think you can give him a run for his money.
Speaker 2: I don't want to try it. Yeah, I'm really enjoying it.
Speaker 1: I don't want to try it. I think if we
Speaker 1: wanted to, you could. I'll see your next here on
Speaker 1: the pick up. It's the Pickup with Britt, Laura and
Speaker 1: Mitch right around Australia Wednesday. We are here thanks to
Speaker 1: chemist Warehouse, a rush in for half priced vitamins and cosmetics,
Speaker 1: teas and sees. Apply chemist Warehouse great savings. Every day
Speaker 1: we've all had one of those days where we've just
Speaker 1: overworked ourselves. We've woken up early, we've gone to bed late,
Speaker 1: maybe we've gone to a dinner, maybe we've even gone
Speaker 1: out on a little bender, little party, and we've stayed
Speaker 1: up longer than we should and it like throws you, right.
Speaker 2: Britt Laura. I mean you're a mum, Laura, you've been
Speaker 2: through this.
Speaker 3: I'm sure you just like every none in my life.
Speaker 4: No, my kids are good now, I've put a four
Speaker 4: year old and a two year old and they both
Speaker 4: are really good sleepers. But when my youngest Lola was born,
Speaker 4: she went through about four weeks of her the start
Speaker 4: of her life, where she wouldn't sleep in anything longer
Speaker 4: than forty five minute blocks. So and she wouldn't sleep
Speaker 4: unless she was asleep on me and I was sitting up,
Speaker 4: so I had to sleep in a chair or sit
Speaker 4: up with pillows prop behind me and actually a nightmare
Speaker 4: like half an hour blocks.
Speaker 2: It was like torture and how is your brain? You
Speaker 2: were fried? Right? Yeah? It ruins everything.
Speaker 4: It ruins your relationships, it ruins your happiness, it ruins everything.
Speaker 2: It's awful. Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: This man in the UK has officially broken Guinness World
Speaker 1: records eleven days straight. He has stayed awake for and
Speaker 1: he has documented the debilitating effects that it has had
Speaker 1: on his body. It's actually not an official Guinness World
Speaker 1: Record attempt because they did it in nineteen ninety seven
Speaker 1: and since science has come out backing how dangerous and
Speaker 1: unhealthy the lack of sleep is, Guinness World Records have
Speaker 1: said we actually not going to let anyone do that
Speaker 1: again because you don't.
Speaker 3: Want people to try and break that record.
Speaker 4: Well, because it has long term health implications, Like you,
Speaker 4: nobody should style themselves of sleep for that.
Speaker 5: Long Sleep deprivation is literally one of the oldest techniques
Speaker 5: in oldest forms of torture. Yeah, because it attacks like
Speaker 5: your core biological functions in your body.
Speaker 3: It is so physiologically bad for you.
Speaker 4: And britt I would say anyone who's ever had a
Speaker 4: newborn child would absolutely agree.
Speaker 2: Oh, totally or been on a bendal I have, I
Speaker 2: go out.
Speaker 3: Very diffrue.
Speaker 1: A bend. We're in different life stages, Laura, but we
Speaker 1: can we can connect on that. So this guy right
Speaker 1: which his name is hidden for obvious reasons, but he
Speaker 1: truly has documented these symptoms ready. Obviously trouble sleeping obviously
Speaker 1: couldn't couldn't fall sop because once you know, because once.
Speaker 2: You break through, we've all been tired.
Speaker 1: You're overtired, and you push through that wall and it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I actually can't sleep, speech problems, hallucinations, dementia, eventually obviously
Speaker 1: death and it will kill you if you actually don't
Speaker 1: get sleep, but total insomnia as well.
Speaker 3: Like you faller and sleep before you died. Yeah, but
Speaker 3: you're not going to be I'm so diet. I'm going
Speaker 3: to die.
Speaker 1: Prolonged lack like if you're getting a nap in between
Speaker 1: over time, it can actually really really hurt you. I've
Speaker 1: done a lot of research on this. I have sleep
Speaker 1: ap now, so sleep to me is really important. I
Speaker 1: read this great book, Actually and Why We Sleep by
Speaker 1: Matthew Walky.
Speaker 2: You should have read it. I'm like a sleep google.
Speaker 3: Oh I think we're trying to get him on the podcast.
Speaker 1: Oh really, Oh yeah, it's brilliant. It's a great book.
Speaker 1: Like when you sleep, your body restores all its organs
Speaker 1: right and it resets everything. It's like a nice reset
Speaker 1: on your iPhone. But when you stay awake, your cells
Speaker 1: in your body start to die. They start to die
Speaker 1: off because they're not being regenerated.
Speaker 4: Well, I did read, and I mean, dementia is something
Speaker 4: that it's very prolific in my family, and so because
Speaker 4: of that, I've always been really interested in what you
Speaker 4: can do to try and stop it. And I know
Speaker 4: that sleep there's been such a huge correlation that's been
Speaker 4: between people who suffered from dementia and people who just
Speaker 4: were not getting enough sleep in their life.
Speaker 2: Crazy.
Speaker 4: And also you think there's some people who say, oh,
Speaker 4: I can work on five hours or four hours a day,
Speaker 4: and think about how much more productive you are when
Speaker 4: you're getting such little sleep and you're maximizing those work hours.
Speaker 4: But it does make you wonder what sort of long
Speaker 4: term health implications you're causing for yourself by doing that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I hate when people say that it's like
Speaker 1: it works for you, but you're a bastard.
Speaker 2: To work with. You were so awful. No, people are.
Speaker 5: Doing need different amounts for sure, But sleep is the
Speaker 5: number one form of recovery, like for athletes, for health problems,
Speaker 5: for anything.
Speaker 2: Sleep.
Speaker 5: Your body repairs so much in sleep, which that book
Speaker 5: that you were talking about must have done.
Speaker 3: You wonders because you came over to my house after
Speaker 3: lunch the other day. You're only in my house for
Speaker 3: about thirty seconds and you're asleep on the lounge. I
Speaker 3: found you asleep in the middle of the day on
Speaker 3: the lounge.
Speaker 2: I fell asleep at BRIT's house.
Speaker 3: No one. I've never met anyone that could fall asleep so.
Speaker 1: Quickly because the fridge is so empty and I was staved.
Speaker 1: Actually it actually wasn't asleep. I passed out. All right, guys,
Speaker 1: go get your sleep, Go get your eight hours.
Speaker 4: I will happily get my eight hours. There's nothing I
Speaker 4: like more than telling Madam going to bed early.
Speaker 3: Thanks guys, Bye, see you, guys.
