Speaker 1: Come on in Hollo.
Speaker 2: There we go and rearing on a happy Tuesday. I
Speaker 2: just got in a fight, wait with who are fifty cuffs?
Speaker 1: A beeping fight in the car. I'm just going to
Speaker 1: find a car park.
Speaker 2: I have seen your road rage. I have seen the
Speaker 2: way you behave when you were to find the wheel.
Speaker 3: You want to know what I I don't get mad often,
Speaker 3: but if I know I'm in the right and the
Speaker 3: other person is in the well they're driving a radically
Speaker 3: or dangerously, then I will have road rage, but I
Speaker 3: don't get it unwarranted.
Speaker 1: Now listen to this.
Speaker 3: I was in the car park at a big shopping
Speaker 3: sound like a Westfield, and it was so busy. There
Speaker 3: was one park left and it was down a one
Speaker 3: way you could only go one way down, but the
Speaker 3: park was the second one from the end.
Speaker 1: So I was going the.
Speaker 3: Right way down with the indicator on to get the
Speaker 3: park and it was mine right. There was no other
Speaker 3: car in there, and then another car banged around the
Speaker 3: corner the illegal way to scoot into it.
Speaker 1: So I saw them hanging around, and I was like,
Speaker 1: not on my watch, kiddo.
Speaker 3: So I sped up and we both put our noses
Speaker 3: into a V to the park, but no one could
Speaker 3: get in.
Speaker 1: It was a car stand. So how long did this
Speaker 1: go for? Like what happened? I felt like forever. It
Speaker 1: was probably a couple of minutes.
Speaker 3: I just got on the blower on the horn and
Speaker 3: he was horning and then hands, hands were aperadically flying around.
Speaker 1: And then were going everywhere. And I had been driving.
Speaker 3: Around for so long It's like there is actually it
Speaker 3: was a man. And I was like, there's actually no
Speaker 3: way I'm giving this up. So I got out of
Speaker 3: the car and I closed the rutney and I walked over.
Speaker 3: I did, and I said, I'm super sorry that this
Speaker 3: is going to inconvenience you. But as you can see,
Speaker 3: this is one way. I said, do I need to
Speaker 3: get somebody else involved?
Speaker 1: Who are you going to get involve?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 2: I was hoping to purity guard ballet manager.
Speaker 3: I was calling his Bluffalora, and guess what what it worked.
Speaker 3: He reversed the cart and I got the part, Wow, John,
Speaker 3: you didn't have.
Speaker 1: To get somebody involved for it.
Speaker 2: I have seen you be angry and there is no
Speaker 2: way I would want to take you for that. But
Speaker 2: you know what I get mad? Okay, it's only up
Speaker 2: from here, guys. And that's because we have possibly the
Speaker 2: world's most delightful singer joining us for the show today,
Speaker 2: and that is Jesse.
Speaker 4: She just exudes happiness.
Speaker 1: They have sunshine. Yeah, it's going to be in studio.
Speaker 5: Well, apparently her new music is all about the unconventional
Speaker 5: way she met her husband, which is very pick up like.
Speaker 4: That's very us.
Speaker 1: Oh are you saying we're unconventional?
Speaker 4: Yes, and yeah, you have a husband.
Speaker 2: I'll give you a little horror. It has something to
Speaker 2: do with the crab claw. Don't give it away.
Speaker 5: We'll find you've got four slash tires when you go home.
Speaker 4: I just have a few.
Speaker 1: I think he didn't follow me out.
Speaker 5: Jess Malboy joins us next year at the Pickup thanks
Speaker 5: to Chemists Warehouse heading today great savings every day.
Speaker 4: Listen it is. This is one of our favorite guests
Speaker 4: we've ever had on the Pickup.

Speaker 2: every single shot.
Speaker 1: I love the pick up.
Speaker 4: We love you, Jessica.
Speaker 5: Honestly, the new single Flashback out now, this you got
Speaker 5: like as a little Is it we calling it a
Speaker 5: music video?
Speaker 4: We're calling it a clip? What are we talking about?
Speaker 3: The way?
Speaker 1: Whatever? Your one of your vibe is.
Speaker 6: You want to call it a music vie, you want
Speaker 6: to call it a clip, a movie whatever.
Speaker 4: A cinematic.
Speaker 1: It's a short.
Speaker 6: Film, a short film. No, Honestly, the song means so
Speaker 6: much to me.
Speaker 1: And I remember when I.
Speaker 6: Worked on it with Nick Littlemore and from Now, which
Speaker 6: was amazing.
Speaker 1: I've never worked with him before.
Speaker 6: And we just really developed before every session a thirty
Speaker 6: minute vibe and just to sing. He just said, get
Speaker 6: in the booth, just vibe out for thirty minutes. We're
Speaker 6: going to play keys and you know, just come do
Speaker 6: like do ethereal things, you know with the instruments, and
Speaker 6: you just perform. And so for every day for two weeks,
Speaker 6: we spent doing that before going into a session. I
Speaker 6: guess that just really helps to break down those walls
Speaker 6: to be able to tell stories. And this was one
Speaker 6: of them.
Speaker 2: But what was the inspiration for it? It was to
Speaker 2: do with your partner and your relationship. Can you pet
Speaker 2: us through a little bit about where that came from.
Speaker 6: Yeah, totally. I mean Nick coming into the room and
Speaker 6: basically saying, I want you this time, I want you
Speaker 6: to write a love letter, you know, write a love
Speaker 6: letter to someone that you love, and automatically them came
Speaker 6: to mind and I just took it, took me about it,
Speaker 6: flashed back to.
Speaker 4: The day.
Speaker 6: The night we met really in a nightclub. We met
Speaker 6: in a nightclub. Wow, we're true romance blossom. I was
Speaker 6: out with eight of my girlfriends and I hadn't been
Speaker 6: home for two years. I'd just come off the back
Speaker 6: of the Young Davis ring with it with the girls.
Speaker 6: We always play a game called truth when we when
Speaker 6: we go out. Anyway, I was sitting there, you know,
Speaker 6: just you know, having a good time, and yeah, my
Speaker 6: girlfriend was like, it's jes a turn. I felt daring,
Speaker 6: you know, dare me to do something. So I picked
Speaker 6: dare playing this game that we always play, and my
Speaker 6: girlfriend was like, okay, well I want you to pick.
Speaker 6: I'm going to pick someone out, you know, a guy
Speaker 6: in this room and you're going to go up and
Speaker 6: you are. We've got to come believe room. You are
Speaker 6: going to crab claw him on the butt without him knowing.
Speaker 6: So yeah, like literally crab claw him on the on
Speaker 6: a cheek.
Speaker 2: This is this is bad.
Speaker 6: We're talking about We're talking about two thousand and eight.
Speaker 6: There was a moment between a guy kind of moving
Speaker 6: to the left and I found a gap and my
Speaker 6: hand went there and I did it, and I ran.
Speaker 1: I literally ran.
Speaker 6: I was mortified that I had actually done it in
Speaker 6: the moment and and I literally I scooted. I run
Speaker 6: to the bar and I'm like, oh, I gonna come't
Speaker 6: believe this happening.
Speaker 1: I don't want to look back. I was like, if
Speaker 1: I look back, then something's going to happen.
Speaker 6: So I'm I order my Granberry soda juice and my
Speaker 6: drink and just standing there and all of a sudden,
Speaker 6: I feel someone kind of like brush up against me,
Speaker 6: and I turn and I'm like, oh my god, it's him,
Speaker 6: but it's literally the guy.
Speaker 4: It's I crab this guy.
Speaker 1: I clawed this guy.
Speaker 6: Literally, I just like I feel like a wind in
Speaker 6: my ears and he he's I turn and he's saying
Speaker 6: something to me.
Speaker 1: He say, I know it was you, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm mortified. I'm like, oh my god, I'm eighteen.
Speaker 6: I'm like, I've never done anything.
Speaker 1: Like this before. And I'm not looking for a man.
Speaker 1: You're not looking for anyone in my life.
Speaker 3: So this is the inspiration for your song. So how
Speaker 3: do you sing about that? You're like, I crab clothes,
Speaker 3: crab clothes in the class.
Speaker 6: I guess I guess that memory kind of sparked. You know,
Speaker 6: we've been together for fifteen years and you've just recently
Speaker 6: got married last year, so all of the memory stacked up, really,
Speaker 6: you know, to create this kind of laugh it off,
Speaker 6: this kind of we've been together for this amount of time,
Speaker 6: you know, we've had our ups and downs. I couldn't
Speaker 6: I couldn't wait to marry you. This was basically, I
Speaker 6: guess premonition of this song is like saying I'm going
Speaker 6: to marry you one day, and I got to do
Speaker 6: that last year.
Speaker 1: So it was like, and I've written this song before.
Speaker 6: We actually you know, committed, and and yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: It was a dream come true.
Speaker 3: And tomorrow night you're performing and presenting Yeah, and your
Speaker 3: video for Give You Love what or not.
Speaker 1: You're like, you're taking all the boxes.
Speaker 6: Hey, you honestly, I'm so proud of our music awards,
Speaker 6: like and I'm you know, I'm such an advocate for
Speaker 6: our our music industry and you know, it's our night
Speaker 6: of nights and I just want to to be as
Speaker 6: special as possible and be involved as much as I
Speaker 6: can and and you know, and sing my little heart out.
Speaker 3: You're doing a national tour twenty twenty four next year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so how many places where you're heading?
Speaker 6: Well, off the back of the tour, which off the
Speaker 6: back of the album, which is FED nine.
Speaker 1: I'm so excited.
Speaker 6: This record holds about fourteen of my favorite songs I've
Speaker 6: ever written, you know, And I say, you know, it's
Speaker 6: it's my favorite yet you know, and I've written every
Speaker 6: single one of them. I've been, you know, traveling the
Speaker 6: whole world to write this record and have written it
Speaker 6: with some incredible people. So it's after that, after FED nine,
Speaker 6: I go straight on the road and I hit every
Speaker 6: town in Australia.
Speaker 5: Well, flashback is out now you're the listen guys, Jessica
Speaker 5: Melboy Pleasure as always, we adore.
Speaker 1: You, We adore you. You're amazing. Thank you so much. Okay,
Speaker 1: I think there's something wrong with me.
Speaker 2: The reason why I say this is because I know
Speaker 2: that my memory is not great, right. I have spoken
Speaker 2: about it to you before. It's something that causes me
Speaker 2: a little bit of concern. How easy it is for
Speaker 2: me to forget things, and I have to write everything down.
Speaker 1: I diarise.
Speaker 2: I have lists upon lists in my phone because if
Speaker 2: I don't put things into lists, I forget. Now, something
Speaker 2: happened to me recently. In my list was a very
Speaker 2: important appointment that I needed to make. I needed to
Speaker 2: go and have a PAP smear. Some of you might
Speaker 2: be thinking this is an overshare, but bear with me.
Speaker 1: Of any woman, day to day cyvical screening is very important.
Speaker 2: If you haven't had one recently, you've got to have
Speaker 2: them every five years as a woman. So I made
Speaker 2: my appointment. I called up the clinic that I know
Speaker 2: would go to regularly my GP. I made the appointment.
Speaker 2: I then waited until the appointment came up and I
Speaker 2: put it in my diary.
Speaker 1: I drove to the appointment.
Speaker 2: I got there, I checked in at the front desk,
Speaker 2: I sat down in the waiting room, and then my
Speaker 2: doctor came out and she said, Laura Burrn, come into
Speaker 2: come into the office.
Speaker 1: And I walked into.
Speaker 2: The GP room, a room that's familiar to me. I've
Speaker 2: been there many times. And I sat down and my
Speaker 2: doctor says to me, why are you here? And I said,
Speaker 2: I'm here for my routine cervical screening. Thanks, I'm here
Speaker 2: for my perapsmere.
Speaker 1: And she said, so, why are you here? And I said,
Speaker 1: I'm here for my papsmere.
Speaker 2: She goes, oh, Laura, I gave you a peraps me
Speaker 2: five weeks ago. I kid you not until she said it.
Speaker 2: It was like as she said it, I was like, oh, now,
Speaker 2: I remember this poor woman rummaged around my undercarriage and
Speaker 2: I don't remember. It wasn't like I had vague recollections.
Speaker 2: I completely forgot that I had. Perhaps it wasn't a
Speaker 2: trauma response. I just forgot. I enjoyed it so much
Speaker 2: I wanted to go twice.
Speaker 3: I'm talking because if you enjoyed it, I'm kidding.
Speaker 2: I'm joking. I genuinely no part of me remembered. It
Speaker 2: was completely gone for my brain. And it was only
Speaker 2: as she was saying it. And then I looked over
Speaker 2: at the bed and I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: I hold it.
Speaker 1: How have I forgotten this? I was here five weeks ago,
Speaker 1: right out of well.
Speaker 5: Britt like, the truth is, we love you, but Britain,
Speaker 5: we have noticed Laura's memory issues.
Speaker 3: This is not fun Oh my god, no, it's not funny.
Speaker 3: You have a terrible memory if you forget things all.
Speaker 3: So my doctor said that she's going to have to
Speaker 3: do a proper test on me. I've got to go
Speaker 3: and do some sort of proper memory test because she
Speaker 3: was like, this to me is concerning, an alarming told.
Speaker 1: Did you go to a doctor to do that?
Speaker 2: Week?
Speaker 1: We could whip up a memory test?
Speaker 4: Now I'm still right here?
Speaker 6: Why not?
Speaker 1: I'm not comfortable with this, everybody.
Speaker 4: No need for bulk billing, no need for medicare.
Speaker 1: Don't have any money that to pay full price for
Speaker 1: that memory test.
Speaker 4: Here on the air, hit it with the first memory question.
Speaker 1: Okay, these are going to be easy, right of Britain?
Speaker 4: Should they are?
Speaker 1: What? What?
Speaker 3: What football team does my boyfriend Ben play for Celtics
Speaker 3: in what country?
Speaker 1: Scotland? What position is he? A goalkeeper? That's actual impressive,
Speaker 1: well done, thank you, Laura Burn.
Speaker 4: What are my parents' names?
Speaker 1: Michelle and Mark.
Speaker 2: Okay, thank god because that would have been really embarrassing
Speaker 2: your parents.
Speaker 1: They're so nice. Okay? What are the judges names? Dancing
Speaker 1: with the Stars? The fourth judges on three months ago?
Speaker 4: You were on It all four first time last night.
Speaker 1: This was the one I thought you wouldn't get into
Speaker 1: a life, not even one.
Speaker 5: Todd McKinney, Mark, other names with the woman that we had.
Speaker 2: The woman finished Mark's name, Shanna shape.
Speaker 1: You're not listening, Shanna twink. Okay, so far you're not
Speaker 1: going very well.
Speaker 6: And then.
Speaker 1: What's the fourth judge name? Laura? Mark? You said, was
Speaker 1: there another person there? Offensive? You don't even remember this? Laura?
Speaker 1: I was the English one who was quite rude. Forgot
Speaker 1: his name? All right? Last one?
Speaker 3: You should get this piece of cake. Actually there's two more.
Speaker 3: What's my birthday? Because you're you're supposed to be my
Speaker 3: best friend business planner, four and a half years with
Speaker 3: each other every day.
Speaker 1: What's September?
Speaker 4: I'm September?
Speaker 1: Please please do go on? I forgot I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't even know my children's birthdays. Don't ask me
Speaker 1: those ones either.
Speaker 4: What's my name?
Speaker 1: Okay? So mild worry, I think mild concern.
Speaker 3: Yeah, mild to medium memory concern, to be fair, more
Speaker 3: pertains to short term memory stuff. So like things yeah,
Speaker 3: like perhaps smears totally like people who have been inside me.
Speaker 1: I can't remember. Oh right, well too far, I don't break. No,
Speaker 1: I want to talk about picking up.
Speaker 3: I want to talk about the weirdest, craziest, most outrageous
Speaker 3: way you could possibly get somebody's phone.
Speaker 1: Oh God, because it happened to me.
Speaker 4: You were picked up almost that's next on the pickup.
Speaker 3: Look, guys, I don't want a brac, but I think
Speaker 3: I still got it. I'm just not sure I want it.
Speaker 3: But what do you got?
Speaker 4: What's going on?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 3: I think I got hit on yesterday, So this is
Speaker 3: probably the strangest way, the weirdest way anyone has asked
Speaker 3: for my number.
Speaker 1: And I mean, I'm a bit a bit of a conundrum.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was a hit on moment
Speaker 3: or if this person really was like a scientist.
Speaker 4: Okay, so I'm so invested in this.
Speaker 1: I was at the beach with my dog Delilah.
Speaker 3: She was having a swim and a play, and I
Speaker 3: was on FaceTime to my boyfriend Ben because he lives
Speaker 3: over in Scotland and I had my EarPods in and
Speaker 3: a guy walked past me. He was going for a surf,
Speaker 3: wetsuit board under his arm. He was just about to
Speaker 3: jump off the rocks. He saw Delilah, looked at me,
Speaker 3: did this like little little up and down look, and
Speaker 3: then came over to talk to Delilah.
Speaker 1: Now everyone always talks to She's a real magnet. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Ben was on the line the whole time. Ben's going
Speaker 3: in my ear. Ben's going, oh, here we go, mate,
Speaker 3: move on, like move on. He's like just tailing your take.
Speaker 3: And I was like he was just he's just being nice,
Speaker 3: you know, whispering in talking to him.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Off he goes for a surf.
Speaker 3: After that, my boyfriend Ben's like, he was definitely hitting
Speaker 3: on you, and I was like, Babe, just chill out.
Speaker 1: He was just being nice. He gets out of the
Speaker 1: surf this surf.
Speaker 3: Only like fifteen minutes later and Ben is still on
Speaker 3: the phone.
Speaker 1: I said to Bend, oh my god, that guy's coming back.
Speaker 1: I said, stay on the line.
Speaker 3: So he walks up to me and he's like, Hi,
Speaker 3: I have a question, like a favor for to ask you.
Speaker 3: Do you mind coming and taking a photo of a
Speaker 3: dead bird for me?
Speaker 1: Sorry? What I was like?
Speaker 3: What he's like, I'm a I'm a virologist that specializes
Speaker 3: in birds. I'm a bird virologist, and I've just noticed
Speaker 3: over that problem. I have noticed over that Rockshelp is
Speaker 3: a dead bird. I don't have my phone on me
Speaker 3: because I've been surfing. Do you think you could possibly
Speaker 3: do a photo shooter for bird?
Speaker 2: And so he'd have your he'd have my numbers?
Speaker 1: So Ben, Ben's going is in my ear? He's still
Speaker 1: on FaceTime. Ben's going? Is this guy series Brittany? He
Speaker 1: is not. He's going a boat. He's not a bird virologist.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I think he is.
Speaker 4: Wade up by the way bird.
Speaker 2: I've never heard of a bird writ So did you
Speaker 2: then go wander over the rocks and take photos of
Speaker 2: a dead bird?
Speaker 1: Your whole phonoho, A strange man on your phone?
Speaker 3: Ye?
Speaker 1: This photos, I'm sending them to your phone right now.
Speaker 1: So I did a.
Speaker 3: Bird. Yeah, so I did a touching its bee because
Speaker 3: we had to get all the big angles, so we
Speaker 3: had to open the beak and do a photo shoot
Speaker 3: of the beak. Then we we did the whole wingspan,
Speaker 3: like we brought all the feathers out and changed its
Speaker 3: neck and I took. Now, I have a whole photo
Speaker 3: album on my phone of dead birds and I send
Speaker 3: them to you.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry if this guy was hitting on you, Britt.
Speaker 2: There is a reason why he is single. He is
Speaker 2: very bad at flirting holding says romance like a dead
Speaker 2: half decayed bird.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 1: So did he end up taking? And what did he say?
Speaker 1: Thanks for the dead bird?
Speaker 3: And then he sent me hits a bird emojis and
Speaker 3: then I didn't write back. And then he wrote back
Speaker 3: again and said have a nice day, and I didn't.
Speaker 1: Write back again.
Speaker 5: On producer producer Tony saying that we have a bird
Speaker 5: expert that's called.
Speaker 1: Of course we do.
Speaker 5: They're out there on thirteen one of six, like Zach's
Speaker 5: Zach's on the light heigh, Hi, Zach quickly answer this
Speaker 5: for us?
Speaker 4: Is a bird virologist something that exists?
Speaker 6: Yeah, so just listening, was it borologists?
Speaker 4: Is that the terminology used?
Speaker 6: Or do you mean biologists like biologists?
Speaker 1: I can't, I'm sure. Look, Brits been saying virologists. It's
Speaker 1: not like a virus. Well, the birds, because he said
Speaker 1: that a lot of beds.
Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, we.
Speaker 3: Said a lot of birds have been dying lately. And
Speaker 3: he might have said borologists. But and I assumed it
Speaker 3: was a virologist because I've never heard of a barologist.
Speaker 4: Had AirPods in. Is a borrologist a thing? I think so?
Speaker 6: For for viral studies? Sure, I don't know if they
Speaker 6: picked that up on dead birds on the beach.
Speaker 1: Just check your phone.
Speaker 3: I've just sent you the photos of the dead bird
Speaker 3: photo shoot that I took at the beach.
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful day. The lighting's great, really really hits
Speaker 1: the beak. Can you tell what kind of that is?
Speaker 4: I do?
Speaker 1: This bird just going through in moments.
Speaker 3: You should have a big close up a wingspan, and
Speaker 3: there's overhead there's a big pick, there's.
Speaker 4: A wing pin.
Speaker 6: I've got the photos.
Speaker 1: I'm flicking through it.
Speaker 4: It is quite the photo shoot.
Speaker 1: Guys, thank you, thanks, Yeah, that was all me.
Speaker 6: So the bird is a short tailed shearwater.
Speaker 1: I was afraid.
Speaker 4: It's honestly very common birds to find washed up on
Speaker 4: the beach.
Speaker 2: Is there any reason that you would take photos like
Speaker 2: this though, of a dead bird?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 1: Is there any chance or is this just perhaps.
Speaker 6: He wanted to confirm what species of shearwater it is,
Speaker 6: because there's quite a number and they're all really similar.
Speaker 5: He had his heart set on a Britney Hogley crested tip,
Speaker 5: had a different.
Speaker 1: Type of bird in mind.
Speaker 3: You know. The best part was at the end he
Speaker 3: was like, okay, well I'll go home and get that
Speaker 3: message now. And I was like, well, you can't leave
Speaker 3: the dead bird here, and he was like, what do
Speaker 3: you want me to do with it?
Speaker 1: I said, pick it up.
Speaker 3: So he picked up the dead bird to and walked
Speaker 3: away into the sunset.
Speaker 4: You dodged a bullet. That's a serial killer. That's what
Speaker 4: you just escaped. A serial killer.
Speaker 1: No, he's probably doing God's way.
Speaker 4: All right, let's get out of here.
Speaker 1: That is it from us today.
Speaker 2: If you miss anything as well, you can catch up
Speaker 2: on our podcast.
