Speaker 1: Come on in.
Speaker 2: Hello, Hello everybody.
Speaker 3: Hi Laura, II, Mitch.
Speaker 1: I'm bringing some really great news to you guys today.
Speaker 4: What's happened?
Speaker 3: I bet you're wondering why is Brittany so excited?
Speaker 4: I think this every day I do.
Speaker 1: Okay, research has found something that's going to make me
Speaker 1: feel so much better about all my life choices.
Speaker 3: I eat pasta. I call myself a carb monster, right
Speaker 3: like I eat pasta five not.
Speaker 2: You do love a carbanaras, spaghette whatever?
Speaker 3: Like I just I froth it.
Speaker 1: I'm a Fiend's researchers have now discovered that eating pasta
Speaker 1: will bring you.
Speaker 3: The same happiness as and music.
Speaker 4: It's sola and orphan lyft.
Speaker 1: It scientifically provides you joy. Like that's not It's not
Speaker 1: just a feeling because you're like, oh, this tastes good.
Speaker 1: There is science now, So now I can eat it
Speaker 1: seven days a week, and you can take it from
Speaker 1: five days to seven day.
Speaker 2: My question here is why did anyone need to do
Speaker 2: research into this?
Speaker 4: It's so obvious.
Speaker 5: So can I ask how do I take part in
Speaker 5: that study?
Speaker 6: I want to eat past it for seven days a
Speaker 6: week and we're going to scan your brain.
Speaker 1: Doing the research question because there's a lot of money
Speaker 1: dropped on that also guilt free.
Speaker 5: Now brit you can eat past your every night and
Speaker 5: be happy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well it was guilt free anyway. But now I
Speaker 3: just yeah, I just have proof.
Speaker 4: Hey.
Speaker 1: If you guys think we'd come a long way with
Speaker 1: how we look at the gay community, right, you'd think
Speaker 1: that as a society we are so progressed. What has
Speaker 1: happened to Billie Eilish over these last couple of days
Speaker 1: is going to make you question everything you thought you
Speaker 1: knew because she came out, right, she came well, yeah
Speaker 1: that questionable.
Speaker 3: She came out. Well she falls out.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 5: All right, big discussions to be had here at the pickup.
Speaker 1: Hey, you guys might have heard last week that Billy Eilish,
Speaker 1: the One and the Only, came out. She said she
Speaker 1: liked boys and girls. It hit the news, people run
Speaker 1: with it. It was this really big thing and then it's
Speaker 1: sort of laid to rest a little bit. But it
Speaker 1: has since come out again at the Variety Hit Maker
Speaker 1: Awards that just happened, which is held by Variety.
Speaker 3: She didn't come out in that original interview.
Speaker 1: She was quote unquote forced out on the red carpet
Speaker 1: at the Variety event by Variety themselves have a listen.
Speaker 7: Did you mean to come out in the story? No?
Speaker 7: I didn't, but I kind of thought, wasn't it obvious?
Speaker 7: Like it's kind of been. I just I didn't realize
Speaker 7: people didn't know.
Speaker 4: So we need to get to a point where you
Speaker 4: don't even have to come out.
Speaker 7: So I just don't really believe in it. I'm just like,
Speaker 7: why can't we just exist? I've been doing this for
Speaker 7: a long time and I just didn't talk about it.
Speaker 4: It was the same.
Speaker 5: I literally was like to my mom and dating wayban Allan,
Speaker 5: but I was.
Speaker 4: Like, I was like, I saw the article.
Speaker 7: I was like, oh, I guess I guess I came
Speaker 7: out today.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh I guess.
Speaker 5: Okay, cool.
Speaker 3: There are so many that I want to unpack.
Speaker 1: But straight after this, Billy released a statement that said
Speaker 1: thanks Variety for my award and for also outing me
Speaker 1: on a red carpet at eleven am. Instead of talking
Speaker 1: about anything else that matters, I like, boys and girls
Speaker 1: leave me alone about it, please?
Speaker 3: Literally, who cares?
Speaker 8: Now?
Speaker 1: I find it interesting that the interviewer said to Billy,
Speaker 1: oh my god, it's so crazy that you even have
Speaker 1: to come out yet her first question was did you
Speaker 1: mean to come out like she made at this event.
Speaker 1: The worst part about this whole situation is it's not
Speaker 1: even that she was outed. It's that one hundred thousand
Speaker 1: people unfollowed Billy on Instagram immediately just because she said
Speaker 1: she's gay.
Speaker 2: It shouldn't be a big deal at all, But there
Speaker 2: is this fascination that people seem to have with people's sexuality.
Speaker 2: There seems to be this fascination in terms of like, well,
Speaker 2: but like what are they really doing?
Speaker 4: How do they identify?
Speaker 1: But the fact that one hundred thousand people unfollowed immediately,
Speaker 1: there's still one hundred thousand people immediately so homophobic that
Speaker 1: they're like.
Speaker 4: Don't give them.
Speaker 1: Look at you and Mitch, I mean, what was it
Speaker 1: like for you when you came out. I know it
Speaker 1: was a different time, it was a little while ago now,
Speaker 1: but did you have that similar effect of.
Speaker 5: Homophobia as a global pop star as well? Britt?
Speaker 6: I can because you're winning huge variety awards and no, no,
Speaker 6: but you're right. I mean, yeah, I lost my best
Speaker 6: friend when I came out, and you sort of look
Speaker 6: at the timeline I've only been out for five years.
Speaker 6: My five year anniversary in about two weeks. Thank you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, get me a gay rainbow.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've only been out five years, which is a
Speaker 6: drop like in the pool of my timeline. But I
Speaker 6: lost my best friend for religious reasons. Didn't talk, just
Speaker 6: didn't want a bar of it.
Speaker 3: Female or male best friend.
Speaker 5: Female best friend.
Speaker 6: Maybe she thought, can't get him anymore, I can't bag him,
Speaker 6: no point being friends with him.
Speaker 5: But it's true.
Speaker 6: We seriously and I've made this point many times, But
Speaker 6: I was the same person the day before I came
Speaker 6: out to the person that I was after I came out,
Speaker 6: But I was less a best friend, and you go why,
Speaker 6: like why So then what that did to my brain
Speaker 6: was like there's so many questions right, and coming out
Speaker 6: took me twenty three years to get to the point
Speaker 6: of being comfortable enough to come out, let alone talk
Speaker 6: about it on the radio.
Speaker 5: I was there at the time.
Speaker 6: And then when you hear billy speak like having the
Speaker 6: power taken out of your hands in that situation, I
Speaker 6: think is the biggest crime because it is such a
Speaker 6: horrific time for a young quick person grappling with their identity.
Speaker 5: I was outed at the workplace where I worked.
Speaker 6: I had someone out me to management to leverage their
Speaker 6: position and themselves. I don't want to go into the details,
Speaker 6: but I remember I was like frozen. I just felt like,
Speaker 6: this is my story to tell. I'm not ready yet,
Speaker 6: but now all these people know.
Speaker 2: I think the big thing with this Billy Eilish situation
Speaker 2: is that the woman who's interviewing is also queer. She
Speaker 2: talked about how you know, oh, well, when I came out,
Speaker 2: I just told my mum I'm dating girls now. So
Speaker 2: I don't think it was necessarily coming from a place
Speaker 2: of trying to catch her raut.
Speaker 4: She was definitely trying to get a headline.
Speaker 2: But I think the big thing here is if you
Speaker 2: work in media and you have the opportunity of interviewing
Speaker 2: incredible stars who are winning amazing awards, who are doing
Speaker 2: incredible things, their sexuality or what they wore shouldn't be
Speaker 2: the two things that you discuss, and it seems to
Speaker 2: be that they're the two questions that always get asked.
Speaker 4: Everything else gets left on the floor.
Speaker 1: With Rebel Wilson last year when Rebel came out and
Speaker 1: her hand was forced to come out. But I think
Speaker 1: the fifth end of the day. Billy said it best.
Speaker 1: Who cares, who cares?
Speaker 5: Who truly cares? I mean, I'll do it good pants,
Speaker 5: So I do care.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, and we will never dune
Speaker 3: here as a friend.
Speaker 1: Witch.
Speaker 5: That's actually very sweet.
Speaker 4: Coming up.
Speaker 2: I've had something truly embarrassing happened to me. It was
Speaker 2: a case of mistaken identity and it almost went home
Speaker 2: with a new husband.
Speaker 5: Oh wow, okay, that's next. I can't wait to hear that.
Speaker 5: It's a pick up.
Speaker 4: Guys.
Speaker 2: I think I have had my most embarrassing moment. And
Speaker 2: now I don't say this lightly because a lot of
Speaker 2: silly things have happened to me over the years.
Speaker 4: This is a big call.
Speaker 1: I've known you inside out for four and a half years,
Speaker 1: and you have a very embarrassing life.
Speaker 4: It was just in a nice way.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's nice, but that's okay. It was
Speaker 2: just very public. So last night Britt and I we
Speaker 2: went out. There was this really cool event on Richard Branson.
Speaker 2: He has brought cruise ships, like there's a big cruise
Speaker 2: ship that's parked in the city and it was open
Speaker 2: to the public, but also heaps of media personalities there.
Speaker 4: Everybody was all dressed.
Speaker 2: Up to the nines and having a glass of wine
Speaker 2: and walking around.
Speaker 4: This beautiful cruise ship. It was amazing, amazing.
Speaker 2: And I'm also there with my husband, Mattie j He's
Speaker 2: come as well, and he looks so handsome. He's wearing
Speaker 2: this gray suit and it's like got this kind of
Speaker 2: satiny finish to it, so when you touch it, it feels
Speaker 2: quite like sleeky, like I don't know how you look
Speaker 2: like silky. Yeah, it's this silky nice suit that he's
Speaker 2: got on. And I just we don't get to go
Speaker 2: out much, you know, married couple, got two kids. It's
Speaker 2: very rare that we have a night out together. And
Speaker 2: when we do, I'm a very touchy feely person, Like
Speaker 2: I like to have my hands on him. I light
Speaker 2: to hold his hand, I like to rub his back.
Speaker 2: He's never too far from me. So I'm there in
Speaker 2: the middle of a conversation, very deep in it, and
Speaker 2: I see matt and feeling like kind of next to me,
Speaker 2: just a little bit away. But I didn't want to
Speaker 2: break the conversation I was having, but I want to
Speaker 2: acknowledge that he was there, and so I'm gently rubbing
Speaker 2: his back, and then he seemed to respond positively.
Speaker 4: So I started rubbing around in circles, which is.
Speaker 3: Very soothing, Like it feels so nice when someone.
Speaker 5: Does that, you know.
Speaker 2: And I was like, eventually I'll leave this conversation. I'll
Speaker 2: go back to my lovely husband rubbing round on his back.
Speaker 2: And then I could, you know, a couple of minutes past,
Speaker 2: and I could feel that he didn't seem to be
Speaker 2: reciprocating my loving touch.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he wasn't rubbing back, he.
Speaker 4: Wasn't giving me any It wasn't even leaning into me.
Speaker 2: And then I felt him looking at me kind of strange,
Speaker 2: and I was like, there is something's wrong.
Speaker 4: And I turned to my right and I was not
Speaker 4: rubbing the back of my husband.
Speaker 2: I was rubbing the back of Tim Robarts, a completely
Speaker 2: different bachelor who's been I mean, for anyone who doesn't know,
Speaker 2: I met my husband on the Bachelor, and Tim Robarts
Speaker 2: was a bachelor many years before us. And I was
Speaker 2: rubbing his back and both of us just stood there,
Speaker 2: made eye contact, and I was like, where do I
Speaker 2: go now?
Speaker 1: Tim Or was the OG Bachelor, he was number one bachelor.
Speaker 5: Do you want him? Originally when you watch the series,
Speaker 5: that's why you went on to get Matt. You go shit.
Speaker 5: I couldn't get Tim.
Speaker 2: So and then I got on the Virgin boat and
Speaker 2: I was like, and now's my chance my husband. No, no, no, guys,
Speaker 2: this is they were wearing the exact same suit. It
Speaker 2: was the same fabric, the same color. They are kind
Speaker 2: of the same. Hein In that moment, I never realized
Speaker 2: how much my husband actually looks like Tim Ross.
Speaker 3: So how did him feel in this moment?
Speaker 2: Oh, I just went into over explanation mode, so I
Speaker 2: made it just look so hot.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh my god, I'm so sorry. I
Speaker 4: thought you were my husband. I thought you were mad.
Speaker 2: And then I grabbed Tim and I made him come
Speaker 2: with me to go and get mad so that I
Speaker 2: could prove to Tim that they were wearing the same suit.
Speaker 5: He joins us. Now, Tim, Australia's first bachelor, joins us
Speaker 5: here on the show, heybody, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: Looking through your head as you were being felt up
Speaker 1: by Laura Burn.
Speaker 8: Well, look, I was believing that story for a little
Speaker 8: bit there, but once she started doing it, so there
Speaker 8: was four other times in the nine coming back and
Speaker 8: I'm like, you know what, I'll let it pass once,
Speaker 8: but multiple times, you know, come on, you can't keep
Speaker 8: up the same story.
Speaker 5: You're a perd.
Speaker 4: Laura, I'm happily married, don't you dead?
Speaker 2: We know, look at this photo you try and tell
Speaker 2: that they don't look like the same.
Speaker 5: Purple that on the pick up socials.
Speaker 6: Also, you're on a cruise ship like it's sometimes when
Speaker 6: you don't have your sea legs yet. You were just
Speaker 6: trying to hold onto something to ground yourself, right, a
Speaker 6: big strong man.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you had to go and like
Speaker 1: and you know, have that man to man with mannay j.
Speaker 8: I just sort of went over and gave him a
Speaker 8: little BackRub so he didn't feel bad. I think I
Speaker 8: was also like me, you know, when you're like mid
Speaker 8: deep conversation as well, and someone's rubbing your back and
Speaker 8: there's that it's just subconsciously like, second, my wife's not here,
Speaker 8: maybe it's some guy, it's one of my mates. And
Speaker 8: then I'm like, this is actually a little bit more
Speaker 8: of a feminine rub and quiet like intimate, you know,
Speaker 8: And that's when I turned around. I'm like, this is weird.
Speaker 4: But I'll just roll with it.
Speaker 2: At all.
Speaker 6: I'm thinking is I've got a new franchise idea, the
Speaker 6: bachelor wife swap addition too, well.
Speaker 8: Ex old bachelors together and just put your keys in
Speaker 8: a bowl.
Speaker 2: Well, it would be fair. We had to like compete
Speaker 2: with so many women, it would be fair. We put
Speaker 2: you in totally who do bring?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 5: Very sorry to Timbo.
Speaker 6: Thank you mate, You've got a gorgeous small of your back.
Speaker 6: We want the nation to know. Thanks for coming on.
Speaker 8: I'll try and I'll try and coordinate suits again with
Speaker 8: Maddie and we'll see what happened.
Speaker 3: Yeah, try your luck.
Speaker 4: If anything, it sounds like you enjoyed it.
Speaker 3: You're an idiot.
Speaker 5: But I didn't hear that. I did not hear that
Speaker 5: in his voice.
Speaker 1: Hey, guys, I don't know if you know, like talk
Speaker 1: about testing your boyfriend like you did Laura. But a
Speaker 1: woman has tested her boyfriend in the most cooked way.
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you about it after the break
Speaker 1: right soon on the pickup. Hey, Look, we all want
Speaker 1: a committed relationship, right Mitch. Sorry that could be pointed
Speaker 1: at you because you're single, but.
Speaker 3: Like it's what you want in life.
Speaker 1: You want to know that your partner will be there
Speaker 1: for you in a hard time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're going to stand by you. If you're in
Speaker 4: a relationship, you definitely want them to be committed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but if you're not in a relationship, it's what
Speaker 1: you look for commitment. Yeah, there's this guy that went
Speaker 1: online to post like am I the a hole?
Speaker 3: Because this is what's happened.
Speaker 1: So his partner, he'd been dating this girl for a
Speaker 1: couple of months and everything was going great, abe nice,
Speaker 1: getting along, everything seemed normal. She calls him one night
Speaker 1: and she's panicking, can't Breathe thinks she's dying. She's like
Speaker 1: in the phone like something like that's how it was,
Speaker 1: like right, She's like she's having something's wrong. She goes
Speaker 1: and she said, I think I'm dying. No one's home
Speaker 1: to help me because her parents are out.
Speaker 5: I need help.
Speaker 1: Something's really really wrong. So he jumped in the car,
Speaker 1: races over at nighttime. So this is Dan would to
Speaker 1: her side because this is the commitment you want in
Speaker 1: a man. She gets to the front door, opens the
Speaker 1: front door, races in to save his partner and she
Speaker 1: just is there laughing, and he's like, what is going on?
Speaker 3: She's like, got you just wanted to test your commitment What.
Speaker 5: Ding ding ding? You passed the test?
Speaker 4: She's like, ding ding ding massive red flag.
Speaker 5: Run the other way.
Speaker 1: So she had contrived this whole thing where she's like,
Speaker 1: let's just see if he's really in this. I'm going
Speaker 1: to pretend I'm dying and see if he comes to
Speaker 1: help me, and she's like, you past and he his
Speaker 1: response was like stuff you, I am never speaking to
Speaker 1: you again. So he left and he's since ghosted her. Wow,
Speaker 1: are you the a whole Absolutely you're not.
Speaker 3: This is a red flag? Who is doing these?
Speaker 1: If you need to do a commitment test, your barner,
Speaker 1: why are you dating? Nah?
Speaker 2: Brit This to me is it's so extreme because also
Speaker 2: it's a terrible commitment test right like it dying, like
Speaker 2: literally anyone would come like my neighbor would come over.
Speaker 4: They're not committed to me if I was dying.
Speaker 2: If someone's dying, who you loosely know you'll go and
Speaker 2: help them move.
Speaker 6: You if anyone was dying and they asked me for
Speaker 6: help help.
Speaker 4: This is a shitty called the ambo.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, look, I've never done a commitment test, but
Speaker 2: I'm not against test incompletely total.
Speaker 4: So when I was in my early twenties.
Speaker 2: I had a very unfaithful boyfriend, right, and I knew it,
Speaker 2: but I didn't have any proof.
Speaker 4: But I knew it. I knew he was cheating on me.
Speaker 5: I knew it in your loins.
Speaker 2: You just just you know, when you've got that feeling
Speaker 2: that they're just being unfaithful and something's going down. But
Speaker 2: then they're telling you that you're crazy.
Speaker 1: You find female panties in your bed, you're just not
Speaker 1: like lim sleeping with someone you get an inkling.
Speaker 4: No, I didn't have any hard proof.
Speaker 2: So what I did was I created a fake Instagram account.
Speaker 2: Oh that was a very attractive girl, and she started
Speaker 2: messaging him, and he started messaging back all sexy, and
Speaker 2: he trapped himself.
Speaker 4: Yes, no, you trapped him.
Speaker 3: Also, Laura, that's identity theft.
Speaker 1: You stole someone's image and pretended to be. Her name
Speaker 1: was Sarah.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 4: I couldn't go out with anything more original? What an idiot?
Speaker 5: What did he say back? He was horny and sexy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was doing naughty stuff. He was doing he
Speaker 4: was writing naughty things. So she wow. And then I
Speaker 4: had all the evidence. So then did you how did
Speaker 4: this unravel?
Speaker 1: Did you tell him we like Aha, I accidentally stumbled
Speaker 1: into your phone and found your DM.
Speaker 5: I'm Sarah.
Speaker 2: I told him that Sarah was friends with one of
Speaker 2: my staff.
Speaker 1: Oh, you're so so many problems.
Speaker 5: And you know what he's like, Sarah's not real. We're
Speaker 5: breaking up like he would have known for sure.
Speaker 4: Please don't leave me because I'm crazy. I don't know
Speaker 4: what I'll do.
Speaker 5: Don't do commitment tests on your partner.
Speaker 2: The lesson here is if you need to do a
Speaker 2: commitment test on your partner, the relationship is not worth
Speaker 2: being in.
Speaker 4: That is the actual lesson.
Speaker 1: Agreed, Can you message Ben as Sarah motion your boyfriend, Ben.
Speaker 6: He's not going to cheat with the time your friends, Brie.
Speaker 6: That's too hard, it's too hard. All right, we'll see
Speaker 6: you guys tomorrow. If you missed any of the show
Speaker 6: podcasted on the iHeartRadio app. Otherwise, I will see you
Speaker 6: guys tomorrow
