Speaker 2: an our big get and what I want It don't
Speaker 2: matter where rag.
Speaker 1: This is the pickup, Hi, guys, so back, it's the
Speaker 1: pickup with Brett Hockley and Laura. Burning your dance moves
Speaker 1: is something that should be criminal.
Speaker 2: I've been in that trend, you know, that interpretive dance
Speaker 2: trend that you got to do.
Speaker 3: I thought I had to interpretive dance my way into
Speaker 3: the show.
Speaker 2: Today you could stop. I don't know. Trend should be.
Speaker 1: Short lived, and this one I think immediately stopped.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: I've also been reading a lot into like energy is
Speaker 3: transferred like the es. So I was trying to bring
Speaker 3: that energy, so it transferred in and then we all.
Speaker 2: Felt that energy. Everybody.
Speaker 1: Well, look, it has been a very big weekend this weekend,
Speaker 1: and that's because Matt, my husband, he entered the I'm
Speaker 1: a Celebrity Jungle last night.
Speaker 3: It was so cool to watch him, especially from perspective
Speaker 3: because now that I've lived it, I went into the
Speaker 3: jungle last year, I can see what he's doing, where
Speaker 3: he is, I know what everything like, what's coming. It's
Speaker 3: really weird to relive it through someone I also know well.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know the other side of it, and
Speaker 1: you know all the editing techniques and the tricks and
Speaker 1: everything else. But we had a big viewing party at
Speaker 1: our house last night, Like everyone came over and things
Speaker 1: did not go down in the way that I thought
Speaker 1: it would, in particular.
Speaker 2: With our girls. But we're going to be talking about
Speaker 2: it next on the show.
Speaker 3: We're also going to be talking about the tumultuous twenty
Speaker 3: four hours that TikTok has had.
Speaker 1: Mate TikTok came back faster than your ex boyfriend one
Speaker 1: hundred percent.
Speaker 3: Is like the slowest, longest, most complicated breakup. If it
Speaker 3: was Facebook, its status would be as complicated.
Speaker 2: We're being gas lip.
Speaker 1: We had some thoughts and feelings on this also, but
Speaker 1: it is time for our kick me up song.
Speaker 3: This is the song we play to get you in
Speaker 3: the mood. It's Monday. It is going to be an
Speaker 3: absolute banger. Evacuate the Dance for by Caskata or Cascado.
Speaker 1: I'm not actually sure does anyone know by Caskater produce
Speaker 1: a great just said, well, it depends on whether you
Speaker 1: say cicata or cicada, and I still stand by the
Speaker 1: fact that no one calls it.
Speaker 2: A cicada cicata.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe I enjoy it's the pickup.
Speaker 1: Now you guys might be aware that I'm a celeb
Speaker 1: has started.
Speaker 2: It's on Channel ten. Last year, Britt, you were in.
Speaker 3: The Jungles sacrificial lamb eating pigs, titties, literally, chicken intestine,
Speaker 3: stink bugs, stink cake, you name it.
Speaker 2: I ate it and I projectile vomited it. Back up,
Speaker 2: did you actually vomit? It was the stink bug.
Speaker 3: Mentally, I was eating this that physically my body wouldn't
Speaker 3: keep it. And I was like, I'm strong enough mentally
Speaker 3: to do it. Why can't I keep it down? And
Speaker 3: they were like, well, it's impossible.
Speaker 2: They were like stink bugs.
Speaker 3: Defense mechanism is that if something tries to eat it,
Speaker 3: it smells and tastes so bad that animal will vomit
Speaker 3: it up so it has a chance of surviving.
Speaker 2: And so I'm the animal. So I was trying to
Speaker 2: consume it and I was making you puke.
Speaker 3: You physically you could have said, I will give you
Speaker 3: a million dollars to keep that down and you can't.
Speaker 3: You like it's involve Terry.
Speaker 1: Don't say that you don't learn anything here at the pickup.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that fun stink bug facts great facts.
Speaker 1: Well, another fact is is that this year is also
Speaker 1: a big I'm a celeb and that's because my husband
Speaker 1: is in the jungle. So Maddie j entered the jungle
Speaker 1: last night and we had a viewing party at our house.
Speaker 1: Like everyone from radio was there, some of his friends
Speaker 1: were there, and we're like quite a good little crew together. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we got some pizzas, the kids got to stay up,
Speaker 1: and they were so excited to see Daddy.
Speaker 2: On the TV. It didn't quite go to plant.
Speaker 1: I was an absolute shocking disaster, which I should have known,
Speaker 1: so I hadn't really thought about it. I thought that
Speaker 1: they would be excited to see Dad, and I knew
Speaker 1: that there might be a couple of scary bits, but
Speaker 1: I completely underestimated just how scary they would find I'm
Speaker 1: a celebrity, which I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 2: Is g rated. But they were.
Speaker 1: Horrified and petrified, and to the point where it had
Speaker 1: only just started and it showed like some of the
Speaker 1: kind of snippets of what's coming up and some of
Speaker 1: the challenges that they had to do.
Speaker 3: And like spiders, snakes and dropping and screaming and.
Speaker 1: Like yeah, and like there's suspenseful music playing, like it
Speaker 1: really builds that kind of drama around.
Speaker 2: It, basically like a thriller.
Speaker 1: Well, Marley, who's five years old, was hysterical, Yeah, hysterical,
Speaker 1: and she kept saying, I.
Speaker 2: Just don't want daddy to be scared. And I'm laughing now.
Speaker 2: I'm not laughing at Marley.
Speaker 3: I'm laughing at the fact that Lola, the three year old,
Speaker 3: she was like, could not care if dad's jumping off
Speaker 3: a cliff if you eating by lyon.
Speaker 1: She's like, maybe Dad'll get eaten, he'll never come home.
Speaker 1: That it's just you and me forever, Mummy.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't that be nice? I mean, I tried.
Speaker 3: I pulled Marley aside and I went all the way
Speaker 3: back through my Instagram to find like a fun video
Speaker 3: from my experience to show her that, you know, you
Speaker 3: can laugh and stuff. And it was just one where
Speaker 3: I got slimed in the face, and so I was
Speaker 3: showing her.
Speaker 2: I was like, look, how funny it is. Everyone's laughing
Speaker 2: and you just get slim like it's so funny. And
Speaker 2: she looked at it and started crying it because she's
Speaker 2: like the slime on him. And I was like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, this is a disaster.
Speaker 1: So what I've realized with with Mally though, is that
Speaker 1: you can't explain away, like you can't try and rationalize it.
Speaker 1: One thing that did change it a little bit for
Speaker 1: us was that Ash Wicks, who is Matt's podcast partner
Speaker 1: on two Dotting Dads, had created a drinking game. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't recommend giving your child a drinking game,
Speaker 1: but it was kind of like Daddy Bingo.
Speaker 3: They had baby chinos, don't worry before anyone calls anyone.
Speaker 1: It was Daddy Bingo. So they were all different things
Speaker 1: on it. It was like anytime Dad makes a bad joke,
Speaker 1: you put a you know, you put a star on it,
Speaker 1: or anytime Dad farts on TV, you put a star
Speaker 1: on it. And she was particularly entertained by the fart part.
Speaker 2: Well, I actually caught this on camera. Have listened to
Speaker 2: her completely outing her dad, what is what is this?
Speaker 3: You mean?
Speaker 2: Well, there's a dad bingo and when when he does
Speaker 2: the bad things, he needed to put a sticker on,
Speaker 2: So I reckon he's going to do that. A lot
Speaker 2: perps probably do that. Does in real lix?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: Does dad fart much?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: And he already did a bad joke, all right, put
Speaker 2: a star on.
Speaker 1: To be fair, though, if Matt's gonna be for anything,
Speaker 1: he will be known as the man who farts in
Speaker 1: the jungle.
Speaker 2: I know he's a farer at home, he's a farer everywhere.
Speaker 2: But do you yeah?
Speaker 3: But it's different to say like he's comfortable fighting to
Speaker 3: his comfortable fighting on national television. Do you really think
Speaker 3: he's going to take that stench to national TV?
Speaker 2: Where does everyone do it?
Speaker 1: Though you're stuck in a you're stuck in a care
Speaker 1: you've got nowhere to go.
Speaker 2: Where do you far? You still do it?
Speaker 3: But you can take your mic off, you don't have
Speaker 3: to hold your mic down to your butt, or you
Speaker 3: can go to the like you take your.
Speaker 2: Mic off to go to the bathroom. I'm not convinced
Speaker 2: it's Matt's.
Speaker 3: Best career move to be known as the farer like.
Speaker 3: I don't think that's the tagline he wants attached to him.
Speaker 1: On the show when he left, he said, I don't
Speaker 1: care if I Fart or National TV, so he may
Speaker 1: be known as that, and I have no control over
Speaker 1: what he does in there.
Speaker 2: If he could be the fighter, the jungle Fighter, where
Speaker 2: did you go?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 2: Do you still do it?
Speaker 3: But mine are really cute, so mina like dainty Farts,
Speaker 3: whereas I feel like Matt to let rip.
Speaker 1: We'll soon find out and tune in tonight everyone, Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: after the break, we're talking TikTok.
Speaker 3: Now, in the last twenty four hours, they've come, they've gone,
Speaker 3: They've come, they've gone, They've been banned, they've reinstated, but
Speaker 3: it looks like there could be a longer lasting backlash
Speaker 3: for a bunch of influencers off the back of this band.
Speaker 3: We're gonna be talking about it after the break. The
Speaker 3: world is talking about TikTok. The world's been talking about
Speaker 3: TikTok for years, but the last twenty four hours, twenty
Speaker 3: four to forty eight hours has been absolutely wild and
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm enjoying it, like from the back
Speaker 3: seat with my legs up because I'm not on TikTok,
Speaker 3: even though I'm in Australia. I hate to say it
Speaker 3: because I know it can be valuable and there are
Speaker 3: really good things to come from it, but I just
Speaker 3: see so much bullying, Like I see so much trolling
Speaker 3: on TikTok, and for me, I'm like, I don't want
Speaker 3: to put myself in that world where.
Speaker 2: People just come for me, because they'll come, they will
Speaker 2: come with their pitchforks. But what I want to talk
Speaker 2: about is the fact that for the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 3: As it's been in this impending cloud hanging over all
Speaker 3: TikTok is in America, that TikTok was going to be
Speaker 3: canned in the States because.
Speaker 1: Trying to which the great TikTok ban in twenty twenty five. Hey,
Speaker 1: well it.
Speaker 2: Came into fruition.
Speaker 3: No one actually thought it was going to happen. But yes,
Speaker 3: that was great. I produce a Grace, sorry that you
Speaker 3: tit off the mine.
Speaker 2: I just want to be heard, She goes. If I
Speaker 2: can't use my voice, I'll use my breast. What I
Speaker 2: was going to say before I was interrupted by Grace's boobs.
Speaker 3: With this, with this impending band in America, all these
Speaker 3: big TikTokers with like millions of followers, have felt like
Speaker 3: it's their death right. So they've started to release this
Speaker 3: secret it's this trend or it's like, if I'm going
Speaker 3: to be canned off TikTok, I'm going to say one
Speaker 3: thing that I've been lying to about.
Speaker 2: It's like confessing their sins, and they did it right.
Speaker 2: They all purged.
Speaker 3: And these are like people that are known for fitness
Speaker 3: influencing that are like, hey, psych never actually did my workout.
Speaker 2: They're people that had.
Speaker 3: Been makeup influencers that say they don't actually use the product,
Speaker 3: or just like some are really funny little white lies,
Speaker 3: but essentially they're admitting to pulling the wool over their
Speaker 3: eyes to their community.
Speaker 2: And I know you've got a big one. Laura, like
Speaker 2: the tripod girl. I think she's known now, Oh, like
Speaker 2: this is niche.
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone would necessarily know who she is,
Speaker 1: but I came across one that I was having a
Speaker 1: giggle about today.
Speaker 2: Her name's Ashley Matheson.
Speaker 1: She's got six point five million followers, and she did
Speaker 1: this one piece of content that went completely Gamebuster's viral
Speaker 1: got two hundred and five point eight million views and
Speaker 1: has had like countless countless comments. And it is a
Speaker 1: video of her She's jumped over a tripod stick and
Speaker 1: the tripod stick has gone straight up a clacker and
Speaker 1: it's impaled it and she's like laughing, but obviously it's
Speaker 1: very clumsy, and it is quite funny. She came out
Speaker 1: and said, Okay, I have this thing I need to
Speaker 1: get off my chest.
Speaker 2: It's fake.
Speaker 1: She staged the whole thing, which I kind of think, firstly,
Speaker 1: should we be outraged that people on TikTok, that creators
Speaker 1: have been lying to us to create viral tiktoks, or
Speaker 1: should we just expect that influencers and creators aren't telling
Speaker 1: us the whole truth because it's their business to try
Speaker 1: and gain engagement.
Speaker 2: I think we should be expecting it.
Speaker 3: I think we need to be really media literate with
Speaker 3: things like these viral reels.
Speaker 2: But where I think it gets pretty.
Speaker 3: Hectic, Like I had a laugh at a lot of them.
Speaker 3: I'm like, funny, funny, funny, lighthearted whatever.
Speaker 2: But there was another girl that's.
Speaker 3: Known as like the Queen of Confidence, millions of followers,
Speaker 3: very body positive, and her dying TikTok secret purge was
Speaker 3: that she actually uses that weight loss drug a zenpic.
Speaker 2: Which that's where I.
Speaker 3: Think it's really shitty, because you've created a community of
Speaker 3: people who follow you for inspiration believe what you say
Speaker 3: one hundred percent would be doing what you do to
Speaker 3: achieve that confidence and the look and whatever else. And
Speaker 3: then to be like, I have secretly been on a
Speaker 3: weight loss drug that you can probably.
Speaker 2: Never get or use.
Speaker 1: But don't you think that this is just an eye
Speaker 1: opener to the fact that, like a lot of people
Speaker 1: have these parasocial relationships with individuals on social media. We
Speaker 1: think we know them, and we also kind of think
Speaker 1: that we're entitled to know more about their lives. But
Speaker 1: I think that this is just almost like a lifting
Speaker 1: of the curtain and peeking behind the scenes and going, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: we don't actually know them, We only know the highlight reel,
Speaker 1: Like this is stuff that we've talked about for so
Speaker 1: long that I kind of, on one hand, I understand
Speaker 1: the outrage, But on the other hand, I'm like, did
Speaker 1: you expect anything more?
Speaker 2: I guess it comes down to, like, where's the responsibility.
Speaker 2: Is it on the consumer to be more.
Speaker 3: In touch with what to believe in what's going on
Speaker 3: and question more or is it up to the influencer,
Speaker 3: who you know should be influencing the right things. But
Speaker 3: where this gets even better is and my favorite part
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 2: Is that they purged all their sins.
Speaker 3: They were getting so much backlash and hate from their followers,
Speaker 3: being like, can't beleive you lied to me, and.
Speaker 2: They're like, it doesn't matter. We're all going down in
Speaker 2: a burning glory. It doesn't matter. Done baby.
Speaker 3: Spoiler psych one eighty TikTok came back after fourteen hours,
Speaker 3: was like, sorry.
Speaker 2: We're back.
Speaker 3: So now they're back in all these people, all these
Speaker 3: people have lied and admitted their lives and now they're like,
Speaker 3: loll jokes.
Speaker 2: Sorry, didn't mean that. That was also just content.
Speaker 1: If you had to admit something that you have lied
Speaker 1: about on social media, what would it be.
Speaker 3: When I was in the jungle last year, I'm a celebrity,
Speaker 3: Get me out of here. I up until the last
Speaker 3: day was still using sugar sashets that I had that
Speaker 3: I had taken in.
Speaker 2: How did you get them? In Andy's?
Speaker 1: I think Matt tried to sneak in protein bars, but
Speaker 1: I mean they're quite big. I don't know where he
Speaker 1: was going to put them. He couldn't fit them up
Speaker 1: his butt as well.
Speaker 3: I had protein bars strapped to my arms like buzz
Speaker 3: light Year. And then just as I was going into
Speaker 3: the jungle, one of the producers gave me a cuddle
Speaker 3: to say good luck, and she put her arms on
Speaker 3: me and I was like, she was like, what's in
Speaker 3: your safe?
Speaker 2: Yea touch me.
Speaker 3: But up until the end, I had I had four
Speaker 3: sugar sachets and I rationed a couple of grains of
Speaker 3: sugar a day on my porridge, Like I'm talking three
Speaker 3: grains and I lasted the month.
Speaker 2: That's my secret. Wow.
Speaker 1: We have a brand new segment for twenty twenty five
Speaker 1: that is something we've taken from Life on card app
Speaker 1: podcast and it's called Vibes and Unsubscribes. But it's where
Speaker 1: we tell you the things that we're vibing either in
Speaker 1: the news, could be product related, could be live related,
Speaker 1: and we tell you the things that we want to
Speaker 1: unsubscribe from now. I was watching the project the other
Speaker 1: night and they did an exclusive interview with a man
Speaker 1: who was a specialist in spiders, so a specialist in
Speaker 1: insects and.
Speaker 2: Who grows up thinking like I know what I want
Speaker 2: to do.
Speaker 3: I want to only ever work with big, ugly, scary, venomous,
Speaker 3: poisonous spiders.
Speaker 2: It's one of those.
Speaker 1: Jobs that you think a kid is going to grow
Speaker 1: out of. Right, Like my brother wanted to be a
Speaker 1: mortician once upon a time and I was like, fingers crossed,
Speaker 1: he grows out of that one.
Speaker 2: I'd be concerned if my small child that was what
Speaker 2: they wanted to do.
Speaker 1: Well, Like, there are questions to be asked. There were
Speaker 1: some alarm bells ringing. Okay, but this guy, his name
Speaker 1: is Kane Christensen. Right, he discovered a brand new type
Speaker 1: of spider. So for anyone who has a bit of
Speaker 1: a spider fear out there, there is now a brand
Speaker 1: new type of spider that's been discovered and it is
Speaker 1: being named big Boy because it is a type of
Speaker 1: funnel web spider that is almost twice the size of
Speaker 1: a normal funnel web spider.
Speaker 2: Oh wait for it, it's also twice as venomous. How
Speaker 2: are these spiders genuine? Question?
Speaker 3: How are we just discovering them now? And how are
Speaker 3: they mutating to like funnel webs on steroids?
Speaker 1: What I want to know is like, why are we
Speaker 1: not finding new things like a new species of koala?
Speaker 2: But like butterfly? Cute? Yeah.
Speaker 1: The reason why I was quite disturbed by this is
Speaker 1: because this man who also named it. He was so
Speaker 1: joyful in this discovery. He was so full of just
Speaker 1: positivity and happiness that he discovered a new funnel web spider.
Speaker 1: And I cannot understand it deeply from within every fiber
Speaker 1: of my body.
Speaker 2: I'm yuck, horrible. Unsubscribe. I'm agreeing with that. I'll also unsubscribe.
Speaker 3: I can't get my fiance to move to Australia because
Speaker 3: of the spiders here.
Speaker 2: So don't let him see that. There's a new one
Speaker 2: on steroids apparently. What is is it? Rosemary oil? Beans?
Speaker 2: Looked it up?
Speaker 3: Lavender's lavender? You spray it or he's sent me lavender before.
Speaker 3: He's like, he will not come to Australia unless I
Speaker 3: have lavendered every entry into my house.
Speaker 1: So lavender oil apparently keeps spiders away. Yep, good hot tip. Okay,
Speaker 1: I have a vibe.
Speaker 3: You've got your unsubscribed My vibe this week a little
Speaker 3: bit left field.
Speaker 2: It's an ash you're not. Her name is Kelly Girardi.
Speaker 3: Now. The reason she's my vibe is I stumbled across
Speaker 3: her on Instagram and I was like, wow, a, I'm
Speaker 3: relating to you, not because she's an astronaut, but because
Speaker 3: she's going through a fertility journey. But she's an absolute powerhouse. Firstly,
Speaker 3: she doesn't look like what you think an astronaut would
Speaker 3: look like. She's got like piercings in her face, really edgy,
Speaker 3: really cool. But she's really openly going through this fertility
Speaker 3: journey where she faces fertility issues anyway, so like most women,
Speaker 3: but she has this extra layer of she's doing her
Speaker 3: last round of IVF, and so.
Speaker 2: Many people are going on this journey with her.
Speaker 3: But the reason it's so much more powerful for her,
Speaker 3: or so much more impactful, is that she's had to
Speaker 3: count the months to work out that this is going
Speaker 3: to be the last time she can ever try.
Speaker 2: Because she's going to space for years.
Speaker 3: So she has to know. She knows that she has
Speaker 3: to have the baby now. If she falls pregnant, it
Speaker 3: has to be now. So she's got the nine months
Speaker 3: so that she can birth it then get ready to
Speaker 3: go to space.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but why would you have a baby if you
Speaker 2: go to space?
Speaker 3: She live there forever. She's got a seven year old
Speaker 3: already called Delta. Sorry sorry anyway, So the best part
Speaker 3: is she's leading an all the first ever all female teams.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's very cool. I have seen this.
Speaker 3: It's just so cool, and I'm really into it. I'm
Speaker 3: just like, yes, girl, like I'm.
Speaker 2: Rooting for her. She's really open with the journey.
Speaker 3: So just this week she'll be talking about if her
Speaker 3: only embryo transfer works.
Speaker 2: So she's waiting now. But hear me out.
Speaker 1: If she does have an embryo that transfers and she
Speaker 1: does have a baby, how long is she then in
Speaker 1: out of space for nine months after having a baby.
Speaker 3: I don't know how long she's going to space for,
Speaker 3: but I don't know her, know her that well, and
Speaker 3: I don't know NASA's schedule, so I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: There's something inherently funny about talking about people going to space.
Speaker 1: It just seems so it's so ridiculous. It's okay, GoF goal,
Speaker 1: It's Kelly Girardi.
Speaker 2: She's a boss. If you want to find her on Instagram,
Speaker 2: go look her up. And yeah, I just I was
Speaker 2: really into it this week, and I was like, let's
Speaker 2: support some women this week. Wow, amazing, thank you, how
Speaker 2: out of this world of view? That was terrible.
Speaker 3: You had like four minutes then to think of a
Speaker 3: space plant and that was it.
Speaker 2: That's all I had, but also guys coming up this week.
