Speaker 1 (00:12):
Laura, Come on.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Hello everyone, Hi, Hi Laura Mita you right over there?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Are you right? What's wrong?
Speaker 1 (00:27):
No?
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I think that there are some foods that should not
be consumed in confined spaces. We can all agree that
tuna is one of them, and you know another one
is banana.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
I sit on a plane and eat a banana? Are you?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
I would strongly disagree with both those things. I eat
tuna and bananas in a room.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Would you eat it? Would you eat tuna on a plane? Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
You would sit on a plane and open a can
of tuna next to someone?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Yeah? Absolutely, This is so dramatic.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
A radio station to a plane is completely different.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
We're in the tiniest room. We are in a canon.
I did eat but it was raw, so didn't smell you.
That would really be.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
A hypocritical happy Monday show. We're all best.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Sorry, we love each other.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Banana are eating freak?
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Listen you just say raw sashimi? I'm like, what is
that smell? Is someone painting? No, Laura's got with sabi.
You whip it out on sashimi on the desk three
pm as well, mate, Userson.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
No, this is the same person that wouldn't let you
come into this room if you had chewing gum in
your mouth.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
So I think grain of salt with Laura Burn.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Maybe I have a pain in my ears. I don't know,
I'm the pain in your ask Mitch, don't I sorry?
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Let me eat a banana and live. Guys like I
need some sustenance. It's because we're doing pick up put
down next to start the show. We do it every
week all the big stories from the weekend that the
world have been talking about. Everyone thinks, God, should we
carry on these conversations into the weekend. Let's ask what
Britney Hockley and Laura Burn have to say about these topics.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Yeah, the problem is they're never the big topics. But
we've established that now.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
Well listen, Australia could soon face a national g string
band and two of.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
The biggest purchases of these items in this room with me.
So you're one of them, yes, and the other. We'll
do that next Here on the pickup. Welcome, it's Monday.
Let's celebrate here your dead.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
I have collated all the big stories from the weekend Britain, Laura,
I'm going to bring them to you what I deem them.
I've talked about stories in the world.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Do you think Mitch has ever actually read the news?
Speaker 4 (02:18):
I reckon he just watches it on TikTok one hundred percent.
I don't think you've ever read.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Just the hick and reason.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
No, just full stop. I think you only read the headlines.
That's what That's what you do, right, Laura, you can't talk.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
You are the worst for a clickbait headline.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
All right, you guys decide whether or not we keep
talking about these topic, So we move on. Last week
on the show, I was talking about my lunch on
the way to work.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
This is what I said, if you missed it.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
I had this boiled egg in my left hand, driving
the steering wheel with my right. I get this egg
and I smash it against the gearstick knob and I
get the most perfect crack in the world. And I
had a couple of treacherous turns coming up, so I thought,
all right, I'll put this egg on my chair, and
the egg rolls back into the egg shell, so pick
it up. Now this egg man is covered in eggshell.
And then I end up throwing it out the window
(03:00):
because I'm so pissed off. I've already heard today Laura,
you've got feelings about my work snacks, Mitch.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
I have feelings about this whole segment. This is meant
to be about the news. And now you've done a
takeover about your eggs, which also stink, and I have
a problem with you eating them in small, confined spaces.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
What's the pickup?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Put down? What is the question? We had feedback saying
you should not be eating eggs at all?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
As I say you, one of my favorite snacks is
a boiled egg.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
So that's my question. Eggs as a snack.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
No, I have eggs as a snack in my bag.
Now are you a toddler? Are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
It's such high protein, it's so good for you, it's healthy,
and it keeps you full.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I'm just really again, I'm really against snacks that stink. Okay,
I don't want stinky snacks.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Boiled eggs. Don't putting it down.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
If you do them right, they're good, Laura, All right, cool,
I try to take eggs.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Are sponsoring myself?
Speaker 5 (03:48):
All right?
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Pick up? Put down? Banning nicknames for your children?
Speaker 4 (03:52):
What I don't have kids?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Put it down, put it down. And I say this
with all the loving respect to.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
My beautiful sister and her husband, Mikey, my brother in law.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
When when Archer was born, my nephew, they said no
one's allowed to call him Archie, and now no one
calls him Archie, but I always have the urge I
really want to do it. So I think you shouldn't
bear nicknames because.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
What's the mean? And then you can bear them.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Yeah, Mum's net, which is like an online mummy blogger,
sounds like my personal hell to be honest. Friends and
family have commented saying that the baby at daycare has
been told from the daycare, we're not going to refer
to you as your nickname.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
You have to be you have to use your normal nickname,
and the mum's upset.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Why.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
I mean, I don't mind it.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
My nickname was p head, so I wouldn't mind if
that was banned, or ski jump nose because I had.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
A little nose.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Ski jump nose is actually a compliment and people pay
a lot of money for that nose.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
But actually a lot of my payouts were to do
with my face, which is concern.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Pritty early person.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
She's like in high school, you know what they called me,
gorgeous cheek bones, pick up put down G string bikinis.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I'm going to say, you pick it up.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
I have them right, well, I know you have them,
but I find of a woman wearing the G string
banger has gone viral. Now the debate in Australia has
been set off. Should we ban them? Some people are
going as far to say let's ban them. A pole
said around seven thousand people said yes, ban them. Six thousand,
six hundred people said no, don't ban them.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I'm gonna say, put it down because it makes me
feel inferior, because my poor flat mum bum can't wear
a G string bikini anymore.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
No, it's so flat.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
This something happens after you give birth to kids. No
one talks about it, but it's like your your butt
goes concave, it goes the opposite way and it flattens
down against your That's got.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Nothing to do with having kids.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
You haven't exercised in months.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Okay, that really pointed, and I hurt me a little bit.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
He told me that I.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Can't wear a G string bikini. And I see some
of the I sound like, yeah, I sound like such an.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Old lady, but I see some really young girls at
the beach wearing G string bikinis and I'm like, please
put us the wrong on.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
It's too much. I Matt, cover your eyes.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I don't have G string bikinis, but I have like
the Brazilian ones that are smaller and sometimes my butt
sucks it up.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
That's actually me sorry that your butt is so strong
it's sucks seeing any material and turns it into.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
A gdu You should feel my glutes.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
If you want, you can punch it time, Peter, thank
you so much for that for the offer.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
But I'm okay, do you want to punch it my
gluere Oh.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Oh my god, now punch mine you'll lose your hand.
That really took a turn from Monday. I can punch
it later, manuch, No, I'm all right there. You all
right back after this, I would pick up.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Laws.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
You've had a little bit of a rough trot lately,
and you want to talk a bit about it today.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Well, something we've been talking about over the last few
months is something very important to me and I appreciate
you guys giving me the space to share it. My stepdad, Neil,
who's been a part of my life for the past
twenty years. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer nine years ago. Now,
I shared that he was in palliative care and we
(06:53):
spoke about the importance of talking to the men in
your life that you love around checking their prostate, and
we had acuch an incredible response on this show. We
had so many of you who went home and had
those conversations with your dad, and for that, I am
so grateful. This was actually Maddie was one of the
girls that we spoke to, and this is what she
had to say.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
So gave my bars and was just like, hey, heard
this really sad story on the radio, but like just
making sure you've had your checks and hey, I don't know,
he's the full man with sixties and he was like, oh,
I do you want to talk about that?
Speaker 7 (07:22):
You know?
Speaker 6 (07:23):
And I actually had a like my own blood test.
I didn't get my checks, nothing too exciting, and I
was like, come on tomorrow morning, I'm going to pick
you up. We'll go get our blood tests on together
and then we can't go get brecky wort a date.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
For blood test.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
So it was actually really nice.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Now, the reason why I wanted to talk about it
is because Neil passed away on Tuesday, So sorry laws.
He fought so hard. He fought for nine years, right
until the very end, and sorry, guys, give me one step.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Thank you? Do you want tish? She can we get
all rung? We prepared. Oh, she's got.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Them right until the very end. And he was surrounded
by his two children, my mum, and I.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Was able to be there to say goodbye.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
But I feel so grateful to have this platform, and
I feel so grateful to be able to do the
show with you guys, and to talk about something that
is so important to me because Neil was only in
his sixties. He has six amazing grandchildren, and he played
such a huge part in all of our lives. But
he never went and got his prostate checked. And in
(08:36):
our family, we never spoke about it. It just wasn't
ever something that I think anyone thought to have the
conversation with. And now for me, it's something that I realized.
You know, I know it's weird. I know it's strange.
I know no thirty year old women are thinking, oh,
I'm going to go talk to my dad about his prostate.
But god, I wish one of us had thought that.
And there were so many signs that something was wrong,
(08:58):
and it took getting to a point where it was
almost undeniable before he took himself to the doctors.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
And it's just such a huge shame.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
He was truly an amazing man, such a great granddad,
such a wonderful husband to my mum.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
And he told the worst dad jokes.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
He loved a pun and it was so hard saying
goodbye to him.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
So he loved a Hawaiian shirt. He loved a Hawaiian shirt.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
I remember Dance.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Your wedding, yea man on the dance flo didn't he
just But I mean, there's so many conversations that we
have around cancer, and for anyone who's experienced it in
their family, it's horrific no matter what the cancer is.
But I think prostate cancer is one of those ones
that's just a bit icky to talk about. And I
think a lot of men in particular feel very private
about the health and feel very private about things that
(09:47):
they're going through.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
You know, it's not something that's normal to talk about.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
If you have a man in your life, whether it's
your uncle or your dad or your husband, if it's
a conversation that you've never had with them, please just
send a text message or the next time you're on
the phone, just ask them when did they go and
get their prostate checked? Because it's such a simple test
these days, it's it's a blood test. They check their
PSA and that's kind of the indicator of the cancer.
(10:12):
And yeah, just it really could save their life and
you could be you know, could save another family from
being in the situation that we are in.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
The message here is, guys, you do need to advocate
for your own health because no one else is going
to do it for you.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
We love you, We're here for you.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Thank you so much, guys.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
All right back after this on the pickup, So.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Mitch and Laura is someone that has just recently gotten engaged,
I feel like I'm sor yes, Oh I was like
what anyway, someone that just recently got engaged. I get
served a lot of engagement content.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Oh yeah, you're the target audience.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Now I am the target audience. And there's this one
viral TikTok debate at the moment from this woman that
has completely divided the internet because she's gone on to
say that if a man can't pick being gaged ring
on his own accord, that he's not the right man
for you.
Speaker 7 (11:04):
Have a listen call me old fashion, but I think
it is so weird when the girl knows exactly what
ring she's getting. I feel like women have gotten so
insecure and so entitled about their ring because of social
media and how it will look to other people that
they've forgotten what the proposal and what the ring even symbolizes.
(11:24):
If you even have anxiety that your man is going
to get you the wrong ring, you're with the wrong guy.
Woman to women, the right guy will not fok that up.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Oh my god, she sounds horrible.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
She actually like when I listen to it again, she
sounded like a mold does she sounds awful?
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Like that is not a red flag.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
If your partner cannot quite pick the exact right ring,
it doesn't mean he's the wrong person.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Also, if you want to go back to the roots
of marriage, it's so the man can own the woman.
Like she's like, go back to the original.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Old fashion.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Okay, firstly, there's a photo here of her ring. Of course,
she's not complaining. She's going to be dragging her knuckles
around on the floor with that thing.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I look, I sort of agree with the sentiment a
little bit, like what she's trying to say in the messaging,
but the way she says it is so rude and
so offensive. I understand where she's like, just let him
pick it. I get that because there's something quite nice
in that. I let Ben, my fiance, pick mine. I
didn't tell him exactly what I wanted.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I did him save enough images though in your Instagram,
which I found them all and sent them to him.
He had a very clear indication of what you wanted,
but not one ring was the same. Well, I mean,
I think that there's different ways that you can split this.
She's saying that people are insecure about what other people think,
and that's why people are concerned about their ring.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
But I think for some men it is so overwhelming.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
There is so much pressure on choosing the right ring,
on getting things perfect, that they almost feel debilitated by
the choice. So if somebody doesn't get the right ring,
or it's not exactly your style, or they've asked for
your help or you've given them some direction, it doesn't
mean that they're a bad partner, doesn't mean that they're
the wrong person. I just think this is a superficial
way of looking at it, that she's being superficial.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
And Alissa's gives his a call. Hay, Melissa, what are
your thoughts on this?
Speaker 6 (13:01):
Yeah, hey, Mitch, my husband he picked it all himself,
did the did everything, did the research, the cut, clarity
and all that went to a diamond dealer and yes.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Happy Did you like it?
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (13:16):
I loved it. Yeah, it's the best. Yeah, it's just
a classic. Looks like a Tiffany ring, but not as
expensive as Tiffany ring.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Beautiful.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Sorry, we've got to ask the spell. Does he have
a taste? Is he into style?
Speaker 6 (13:28):
He's got, he's got, he's got great style.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
That has a taste. And then a man who's not
into it.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
But you can't hold that against them, Like, just because
they don't have very good taste doesn't mean they would
make a terribles.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
It doesn't mean they're the wrong person. And Ben, I
know my fiance almost brought me white gold. I don't
wear white gold. I know if he did, I wouldn't
have said, oh, red flag and dumbed him like I still.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Would have married it.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
It made sure for the sake of your relationship that
it wasn't yet gold.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I set him in a really good direction for that,
I reckon. You can thank me for your ring Britt. Actually,
thank you for.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
My well We're died for the day. Listen this week,

you want a five hundred dollars voucher cash really to

Speaker 2 (14:14):

Speaker 4 (14:20):

Speaker 1 (01:18):
No, this is the same person that wouldn't let you

Speaker 4 (03:58):
My beautiful sister and her husband, Mikey, my brother in law.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
When when Archer was born, my nephew, they said no
one's allowed to call him Archie, and now no one
calls him Archie, but I always have the urge I
really want to do it. So I think you shouldn't
bear nicknames because.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
What's the mean? And then you can bear them.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Yeah, Mum's net, which is like an online mummy blogger,
sounds like my personal hell to be honest. Friends and
family have commented saying that the baby at daycare has
been told from the daycare, we're not going to refer
to you as your nickname.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
You have to be you have to use your normal nickname,
and the mum's upset.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Why.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
I mean, I don't mind it.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
My nickname was p head, so I wouldn't mind if
that was banned, or ski jump nose because I had.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
A little nose.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Ski jump nose is actually a compliment and people pay
a lot of money for that nose.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
But actually a lot of my payouts were to do
with my face, which is concern.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Pritty early person.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
She's like in high school, you know what they called me,
gorgeous cheek bones, pick up put down G string bikinis.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I'm going to say, you pick it up.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
I have them right, well, I know you have them,
but I find of a woman wearing the G string
banger has gone viral. Now the debate in Australia has
been set off. Should we ban them? Some people are
going as far to say let's ban them. A pole
said around seven thousand people said yes, ban them. Six thousand,
six hundred people said no, don't ban them.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I'm gonna say, put it down because it makes me
feel inferior, because my poor flat mum bum can't wear
a G string bikini anymore.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
No, it's so flat.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
This something happens after you give birth to kids. No
one talks about it, but it's like your your butt
goes concave, it goes the opposite way and it flattens
down against your That's got.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Nothing to do with having kids.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
You haven't exercised in months.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Okay, that really pointed, and I hurt me a little bit.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
He told me that I.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Can't wear a G string bikini. And I see some
of the I sound like, yeah, I sound like such an.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Old lady, but I see some really young girls at
the beach wearing G string bikinis and I'm like, please
put us the wrong on.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
It's too much. I Matt, cover your eyes.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I don't have G string bikinis, but I have like
the Brazilian ones that are smaller and sometimes my butt
sucks it up.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
That's actually me sorry that your butt is so strong
it's sucks seeing any material and turns it into.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
A gdu You should feel my glutes.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
If you want, you can punch it time, Peter, thank
you so much for that for the offer.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
But I'm okay, do you want to punch it my
gluere Oh.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Oh my god, now punch mine you'll lose your hand.
That really took a turn from Monday. I can punch
it later, manuch, No, I'm all right there. You all
right back after this, I would pick up.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Laws.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
You've had a little bit of a rough trot lately,
and you want to talk a bit about it today.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Well, something we've been talking about over the last few
months is something very important to me and I appreciate
you guys giving me the space to share it. My stepdad, Neil,
who's been a part of my life for the past
twenty years. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer nine years ago. Now,
I shared that he was in palliative care and we
(06:53):
spoke about the importance of talking to the men in
your life that you love around checking their prostate, and
we had acuch an incredible response on this show. We
had so many of you who went home and had
those conversations with your dad, and for that, I am
so grateful. This was actually Maddie was one of the
girls that we spoke to, and this is what she
had to say.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
So gave my bars and was just like, hey, heard
this really sad story on the radio, but like just
making sure you've had your checks and hey, I don't know,
he's the full man with sixties and he was like, oh,
I do you want to talk about that?
Speaker 7 (07:22):
You know?
Speaker 6 (07:23):
And I actually had a like my own blood test.
I didn't get my checks, nothing too exciting, and I
was like, come on tomorrow morning, I'm going to pick
you up. We'll go get our blood tests on together
and then we can't go get brecky wort a date.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
For blood test.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
So it was actually really nice.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Now, the reason why I wanted to talk about it
is because Neil passed away on Tuesday, So sorry laws.
He fought so hard. He fought for nine years, right
until the very end, and sorry, guys, give me one step.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Thank you? Do you want tish? She can we get
all rung? We prepared. Oh, she's got.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Them right until the very end. And he was surrounded
by his two children, my mum, and I.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Was able to be there to say goodbye.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
But I feel so grateful to have this platform, and
I feel so grateful to be able to do the
show with you guys, and to talk about something that
is so important to me because Neil was only in
his sixties. He has six amazing grandchildren, and he played
such a huge part in all of our lives. But
he never went and got his prostate checked. And in
(08:36):
our family, we never spoke about it. It just wasn't
ever something that I think anyone thought to have the
conversation with. And now for me, it's something that I realized.
You know, I know it's weird. I know it's strange.
I know no thirty year old women are thinking, oh,
I'm going to go talk to my dad about his prostate.
But god, I wish one of us had thought that.
And there were so many signs that something was wrong,
(08:58):
and it took getting to a point where it was
almost undeniable before he took himself to the doctors.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
And it's just such a huge shame.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
He was truly an amazing man, such a great granddad,
such a wonderful husband to my mum.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
And he told the worst dad jokes.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
He loved a pun and it was so hard saying
goodbye to him.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
So he loved a Hawaiian shirt. He loved a Hawaiian shirt.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
I remember Dance.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Your wedding, yea man on the dance flo didn't he
just But I mean, there's so many conversations that we
have around cancer, and for anyone who's experienced it in
their family, it's horrific no matter what the cancer is.
But I think prostate cancer is one of those ones
that's just a bit icky to talk about. And I
think a lot of men in particular feel very private
about the health and feel very private about things that
(09:47):
they're going through.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
You know, it's not something that's normal to talk about.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
If you have a man in your life, whether it's
your uncle or your dad or your husband, if it's
a conversation that you've never had with them, please just
send a text message or the next time you're on
the phone, just ask them when did they go and
get their prostate checked? Because it's such a simple test
these days, it's it's a blood test. They check their
PSA and that's kind of the indicator of the cancer.
(10:12):
And yeah, just it really could save their life and
you could be you know, could save another family from
being in the situation that we are in.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
The message here is, guys, you do need to advocate
for your own health because no one else is going
to do it for you.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
We love you, We're here for you.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Thank you so much, guys.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
All right back after this on the pickup, So.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Mitch and Laura is someone that has just recently gotten engaged,
I feel like I'm sor yes, Oh I was like
what anyway, someone that just recently got engaged. I get
served a lot of engagement content.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Oh yeah, you're the target audience.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Now I am the target audience. And there's this one
viral TikTok debate at the moment from this woman that
has completely divided the internet because she's gone on to
say that if a man can't pick being gaged ring
on his own accord, that he's not the right man
for you.
Speaker 7 (11:04):
Have a listen call me old fashion, but I think
it is so weird when the girl knows exactly what
ring she's getting. I feel like women have gotten so
insecure and so entitled about their ring because of social
media and how it will look to other people that
they've forgotten what the proposal and what the ring even symbolizes.
(11:24):
If you even have anxiety that your man is going
to get you the wrong ring, you're with the wrong guy.
Woman to women, the right guy will not fok that up.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Oh my god, she sounds horrible.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
She actually like when I listen to it again, she
sounded like a mold does she sounds awful?
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Like that is not a red flag.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
If your partner cannot quite pick the exact right ring,
it doesn't mean he's the wrong person.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Also, if you want to go back to the roots
of marriage, it's so the man can own the woman.
Like she's like, go back to the original.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Old fashion.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Okay, firstly, there's a photo here of her ring. Of course,
she's not complaining. She's going to be dragging her knuckles
around on the floor with that thing.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I look, I sort of agree with the sentiment a
little bit, like what she's trying to say in the messaging,
but the way she says it is so rude and
so offensive. I understand where she's like, just let him
pick it. I get that because there's something quite nice
in that. I let Ben, my fiance, pick mine. I
didn't tell him exactly what I wanted.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I did him save enough images though in your Instagram,
which I found them all and sent them to him.
He had a very clear indication of what you wanted,
but not one ring was the same. Well, I mean,
I think that there's different ways that you can split this.
She's saying that people are insecure about what other people think,
and that's why people are concerned about their ring.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
But I think for some men it is so overwhelming.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
There is so much pressure on choosing the right ring,
on getting things perfect, that they almost feel debilitated by
the choice. So if somebody doesn't get the right ring,
or it's not exactly your style, or they've asked for
your help or you've given them some direction, it doesn't
mean that they're a bad partner, doesn't mean that they're
the wrong person. I just think this is a superficial
way of looking at it, that she's being superficial.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
And Alissa's gives his a call. Hay, Melissa, what are
your thoughts on this?
Speaker 6 (13:01):
Yeah, hey, Mitch, my husband he picked it all himself,
did the did everything, did the research, the cut, clarity
and all that went to a diamond dealer and yes.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Happy Did you like it?
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (13:16):
I loved it. Yeah, it's the best. Yeah, it's just
a classic. Looks like a Tiffany ring, but not as
expensive as Tiffany ring.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Beautiful.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Sorry, we've got to ask the spell. Does he have
a taste? Is he into style?
Speaker 6 (13:28):
He's got, he's got, he's got great style.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
That has a taste. And then a man who's not
into it.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
But you can't hold that against them, Like, just because
they don't have very good taste doesn't mean they would
make a terribles.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
It doesn't mean they're the wrong person. And Ben, I
know my fiance almost brought me white gold. I don't
wear white gold. I know if he did, I wouldn't
have said, oh, red flag and dumbed him like I still.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Would have married it.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
It made sure for the sake of your relationship that
it wasn't yet gold.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I set him in a really good direction for that,
I reckon. You can thank me for your ring Britt. Actually,
thank you for.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
