Speaker 1 (00:10):
I heard podcasts, hear more Kiss podcast playlist and listen
live on the Free I Hunt APPI with Britt and.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Laura Ben Radio Work, Our Windows Done, That's my world.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Reason the dust only good, Fave Dogle down. I've done much,
but yeah, I know I'll beget and what I want.
It don't matter where. This is the pick up. Hi, guys,
it's brittin Laura and you're listening to the pick up, don't.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Yes, we have to address the elephant in the There
is no elephant.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Tell everything. No one would know if you weren't going
to say it.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Well, Producer Grace said, I have to say it. We're
just having a conversation evidently before we were on it,
and Laura was telling like a really serious story. But
just repeat the sentence you just said, just.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Just as you said it. Please please, I said the
full gamun, the full and Grace and I look at
each other.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
And were like sorry, what And you were like it's
you know, like the full gamut as soon and Grace
is like Jimman gammut and You're like, no, goodmot No.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
The second I came out of my mouth, I was
like I really took a punch and I don't think
you're paid off like a fifty to fifty chair. I've
read the words so many tars, but never in my
life have I had to put Gammett in a second.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
But you didn't admit to fee straight away. Grace did
have to do that Google voice translator where he says.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
It out loud. No, that's because everyone wasn't quite sure.
I think I said it with such confidence that everyone
else in the room was like, Grace, is that how
it said? Chrace? Were you sure? Full Gammut?

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Look, she didn't say it very confidently, and I said,
maybe I've been saying it wrong.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
She did say it so confidently that we both questioned ourselves.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
But I'm glad we stuck by it. Anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
If you were in the full GOMO of today's show,
stick Around, We've got some pre gross things coming up.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
I'm almost forty years old, and it is amazing that
there's still words that to this day I've only read
in a sentence, I've never said out loud, and then
you say them incorrect. I'm just glad that we have
a national radio show to share them on. Do you
know what I said? One say? Investigative Investigative journalist.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
How about you say it first, say it investigative.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
It's a typical word. You say it gross investigative. See,
it's a bit hard. It's a tricky word, but it's
it's always a real what it means. It's a point
of joy whenever brit says it, because it's always a mistake.
And I just needed to throw you under a busk
because I'm under it and I wanted to with you.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
True yourself under it by trying to throw me under it.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
It's a really hard word to say. All right, Well,
look moving on, We've got a big show for you
guys today and coming up next we're going to be
talking about the grossest thing that you could possibly do
in public. Yeah, there's a whole mud of them. So
we'll see you after the break. It's the pick up.
I mean, there's lots of things that we do in
private that's like relatively disgusting, right that you know yourself

(03:00):
that you know that's that's for private time, not for
public time.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
My private life is top shelf. I'm not secretly gross.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Are you. I think everyone's a bit secretly gross. Like
you don't clip your toe nails in public, for example,
that would be outwardly gross. That's the thing you do
in private, in your bathroom. That's puts mynlis is away.
Now do you know what else I think it is
disgusting People who like flossing is only for the bathroom.
You can't floss anywhere else. Flossing is disgusting. It is
a disgusting thing that is an absolute hygiene necessity private,

(03:31):
but you can't do that out in public. You can't
do it anywhere. Kind of you sit on the couch
watching TV flossing. That to me is like all right,
there is the reason why we're talking about this, because
there is a couple that's gone viral online for doing
something that is particularly disgusting at a very public, very
famous Aussie beach. Now, the woman is lying down, she's

(03:51):
some baking, she's got a runners on, she's clearly just
been for a little jog. She's laying down on a towel,
and her lovely boyfriend, who cares so deeply about her,
is squeezing the pimples on her back right in front
of the red yellow flags. I know you kind of
I get off.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
On people going to say get off at three pm,
But sure, I think you'd get off on popping pimples.
I don't like popping pimples, even in private, Like I
don't want anyone to pop mine.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
I don't want to pop anyone else's. I think I
just like that. My husband gets really squeamish, like he's
quite brave, relatively strong. He's a brief man, he's a
brave man. He's proven himself to be very brave. What
does he do that's brave? Oh, like the time that
we got broken into in the middle of the nine
and he ran out in he like ran into the
person and beat him up. I was like, let's brave.
He left the front door. That's another story, okay, But

(04:39):
he cannot stand me popping pimples. So if we were
at the beach and he was like, go for it,
I think I'd take my opportunity, just because it never
happens and I actually really enjoy it. But I do
think it's disgusting and it's an at home activity.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
You I remember on your Instagram algorithm was just pimple popping.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
I don't know why, Like I enjoyed doing it to him,
but I certainly don't want to watch pimple popping videos
that come up online and stuff like, I know that
that's kind of a thing that people. Maybe it's because
it's satisfying. You just want to see the lost little
bit get out of there.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
But no one people want to go out and eat
their fish and chips at the beach and enjoy it.
No one wants to sit there and watch past be
popped out and poking eye out or something like.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
People aren't wanting to see that. All right, What are
some things that you would do in private that you
think are totally not acceptable to do in public? Yeah, like,
I'm going to out myself on no, because as in,
you don't do them. I have seen someone on a
plane on a long haul flight clipping their toenails, and
I thought I was going to drop dead. I was,
I could not believe it.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
I actually saw a friend of mine post this yesterday
on Instagram. She's a waitress at this really nice cafe,
and she posted like a close up of one of
the centerpieces, which is like a little pop plant, and
she goes, here's a thought. Next time you think of
cutting your fingernails or toenails, maybe don't do it at
a cafe and put them in the pop plant, like
she just came across this and like, I was like,
that is who.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Is doing that stuff? It's so rain like, who is
doing that? That is? Yeah? No, no, no, I mean there's
got to be more though, right picking belly button lint.
I don't have a belly button anymore. It's completely gone.
I'm so pregnant now that I've got like just a
flat fear of belly button. Nothing can get caught in
that anymore.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
I just feel like, as a society, surely we're not
here at the point where we're having to like do
yes and nose.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
What can you do in public and what can you
do at home? Surely you guys can self monitor yourself.
Here's another controversial one. People may not pick their nose
in public, but they will pick their nose in their car.
And everyone can see in cars a safe place. Every
single person picks their nose in their car. I will
put money on it. It's interesting that.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
People feel like just because you're in with like doors
and stuff.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Like it's all glass. It's interesting.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
And also you can see in the revision mirror. Even
if you're in front or behind, you can still.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Totally look up and see in the mirror and I say,
this is a guilty person. I picked my nose in
my car. I'd never do it out in the street.
Put it the booker. Yes, you wipe it on the seat,
don't get out the window. No, can you wipe it
on the seat? You can't? You word? Nah, let the seats.
You could wipe it off. Fabric seats would be a
real doozy, wouldn't it. Now you you gotta flick it
out the window if it's a wet one.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
I don't want to think this through. I don't know
what I've done. Now you brought this conversation on. Sorry,
I didn't think it through well enough until now you
started asking questions.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
Laura goes, just roll with this one, Brittany, I'm going
to bring it now. I'm trying to roll with the
booger conversation, and you're coming for me.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Laura pick tore this.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
You could freeze your body after death, sleep frozen for
two hundred years, and then wake up in the future.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Would you do it? No? Really, I really think about that. No,
I have thought about it. We talked about it earlier.
The answer is no, I don't want to firstly, cryogenically
frozen me doesn't want to come back in two hundred
years when all my friends and family are dead. What
it's no, Okay, listen to this.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
There's this German startup called Tomorrow Bio, and I just
got like down this rabbit hole of this place. They're
charging people two hundred thousand dollars to cryogenically freeze.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yourself for this exact purpose.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
So that in two hundred years, when the technology is available,
you can defrost and be brought back to the future
with the technology to like help you revive whatever illness.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Might have killed you.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
So like maybe if it was a cancer or something
like that, you can literally pay now to be.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Freezing, now live later. Yeah, by now die now live later.
That should be their model. I think that this is
a scam. I think it is a scam, and a
very lucrative one. They're making two hundred thousand dollars a pop.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
Okay, like hear me out. This puts the funnier bit.
It's not that it's funny. If you don't have two
hundred thousand dollars to freeze your whole body, you can
just pay eighty thousand and just do your brain.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
But like, where's your brain coming back.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
What's what You're gonna wake up and just be a
little brain.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
They can't do anything. Give me as to why I
think this is a scam. This just to me reads
of do you guys remember the Theronos story, the woman
who like brought out it was like a blood test,
they could detect cancer. She's ended up in with homes.
She's a scam, she's in prison for it. And it
was like a company was worth billions of dollars. It's
one thing to say we're going to cryogenically freeze you,
as that in two hundred years, when the technology is there,

(09:05):
we can bring you back to life. Is the same
company developed the technology? Like, how do we know the
technology has never been there? It's still not there one
hundred years ago or fifty years ago, whatever it was.
Everyone was saying, oh, we'll be there in two hundred
We're never going to be there.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
I saw of get it though, because what they're saying
is they're not saying, I guess if you're gonna die,
you have two options, Right, you die and you never
get brought back, or you die freeze yourself.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
And potentially have an option of coming back.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
So I guess there are the people that are like, hey,
I get it's not a guarantee, but cool, maybe I
can come back in two hundred years.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Maybe it makes more sense if you were like in
your thirties or your twenties, or your thirties or your forties, right,
because you didn't get to live your full life like
you if you were, if there was a possibility that
you're going to die young, you might then explore it.
But if you're eighty, like who wants to come back
as an eighty year old? Be like, oh God, have
years left in my life? Let's go.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
So far, the company has preserved six people and five pets,
and there are and there are six hundred and fifty
people who have already paid, Like, because you obviously pay
before you die. The rules are you don't get put
to sleep.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
It's not like an euthanasia thing.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
It's you have to pre book it, wait till you die,
and then it has to be done really quickly after
you pass away. But six hundred and fifty people have
paid and awaiting their turn.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
I wonder if that's like a family, because like, you
don't want to do on your own if you're freezing
your pets it's or creezing someone to come back together.
We'll do the pick up in two hundred year's time
to produce grace. You're saying, you've got some stats graces
on the case.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
So there was a big thing about cryogenically frozen people
back in the sixties, but every single person that was
frozen back then, none of them are still frozen because
you have to rely on their family members to keep
paying to keep them cold.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Oh, you'd be devl to keep them cold. So what
it was like forty years and they're like, we're done. Yeah,
it's to.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
One person that was cryogenically frozen before nineteen seventy three
that's still frozen.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
Do you imagine growing up and you're a kid and
it's like, hey, these are like your bills you've got
to pay. And also this is to keep your great
great great grandpa frozen in case he comes back to life,
like you gonna be like stuff.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
That which is why I am convinced it's a scam.
I am so convene, is that these companies know that
people are not going to be able to upkeep the
payments for two hundred years because no one's going to
do that. So They're like, well, there's probably only gonna
be one or two people who can afford it, and
therefore we're not going to be who's going to sue us.
They're dead Like, it's the perfect model.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
I think it's going to happen. I wish I was
around two hundred years to see. Okay, I asked my
Instagram followers personally because I found this really interesting.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
But did some research. Seventy thousand people saw this.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
Eight percent of people said that they would do it,
and ninety two percent said no way. But eight percent's
pretty big. That's a lot of people that are like, yeah,
do that. I'd stick around.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
I have no interest. I'm just going to like do
this last to the fullest and then I'll be done.
I'm happy with that.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
Well, I'll track down your great great great great great kids.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Now we're asking in the question give us a call,
what did your kid steal? Maybe it was my accident
when a domming them in. They're not going to get
in trouble. Maybe they will. Maybe child's kleptomaniac and we
want to know about it. But let us know the
reason why we're asking this is so my daughter Mally
may she is six years old, just six, right, and
like kids at that age are still learning about right

(12:17):
and wrong, theft, paying for stuff. They're firstly they're learning
about money. They're learning about like the inherent value of money.
That's still kind of a tricky age, lack of the
inherent value of money. They're also learning to push boundaries. Now,
Marley made a mistake, and it turned out that actually
maybe it was partly our mistake, you know how like

(12:38):
you have your your apps and whatnot linked to your
phone and to your credit card and everything else, and
like sometimes these payments are automated, you know, like you've
got your Amazon Prime automated payments, You've got your Disney
Channel automated payments, and it just comes through what she bought.
She's got a shopping spree. She's bought Bentley. So we
never use like I rarely have we like logged on

(12:59):
and used that Amazon Prime recently. Mally doesn't watch a
lot of TV, and she definitely doesn't watch TV on supervised.
Like what we do is we're going we put a
movie on, that's the movie, she watches it, and then
when the movie ends, I usually know it's ended because
like I can hear her trying to flick around and
listen to like something girls or watch something girls, right,
And it was only that Matt he changed some settings

(13:20):
on his phone recently, my husband Matt, and the movie
had finished that she was watching, and then he got
this ping notification and it peemed through his phone and
it was like, your thirty dollars purchase from Amazon Prime
has just gone through. So Marley had just sat there
using the clicker and she'd scrolled through and she'd just purchased.
There's a new movie on which is called How to
Tame Your Dragon, which firstly we'd said she can't watch

(13:41):
because it's too scary. She just went on too Amazon
and she bought it for thirty dollars. I wonder how
many things she's bought things, So we went The thing is,
though she's been buying movies and has never watched them
because she doesn't get to she had no concept that
she was actually purchasing these things. So when we went
back through the Amazon Prime account, she's done it.

Speaker 4 (13:59):
Low.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
It's time interesting to see just bought exactly she's bought.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Like her taste in film, it's like kid, it's all kids.
It's all like none of it. I mean, thank god,
she hasn't discovered rodblocks or anything like that. But she's
been buying like movies, but they're so expensive because they're
still out at the movies. Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
So in real time, she's spending more than you would
spend as a family to go to the movie and
then never get home with the beer milk kick a
feed off, you know. Okay, let's give her the past
because she didn't know.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
When we explained it to her, she was genuinely devastated,
like she didn't understand that that was a thing stealing
from Well, I guess it's not right. It's like a
loan stealing.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
I've only ever stolen one thing, but it really stuck
with me. When I was a kid, we just like
lived in this really healthy family.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
And I say that because my dad had a heart.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
Attack when he was in his late thirties, very young,
and that just like changed the way we could consume food.
I really wanted all the kids at school remember when
that pink cubb bubba came into fashion and it was
like a meter long and you'd pull it out and like.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
Rip it off.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
I remember we're going through a target and they were
at the you throw a chocolate in it the check out.
I begged my mum for it and she said no,
and so.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
I just pocketed it, just took it.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
And then we were walking out, slipped a little bit
in my mouth and I was like, I just won't chew.
When she seen me, but she could smell it anyway,
she made me pull out of my pocket, made me
admit to stealing it, marched me back and in front
of everybody at the checkout. I had to pull it out,
put it on the counter and say, sorry, excuse me,
I just stole this. I had to tell everyone that
I stole it, and.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Oh my god, but it worked.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
Man.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
I was so embarrassed to tell people that I stole
something that I never stole anything.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
Again, We've got Kate on the line. Kate, what did
your kids steal?

Speaker 4 (15:43):
You know? In Seed they have all these kind of
kids toys at their reach. She really wanted this hard
sausage dog, one of those ones that you squeeze and
the little poop comes out of its bottom with a balloon. Anyway,
she was pretty content with that, and we walked out
and she started to walk really funny. I let it go.
I asked if maybe she'd poot her pants or something,

(16:05):
and then when we got home, I realized it was
a sausage dog.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
Do you know what it is? It's when they act
or innocent, when you say sorry, you can't have that,
they don't put up a fight and they just go okay, mommy,
and you're like, why was that so easy? I'm sorry,
check their pants.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
I'm still stuck on the fact that you can buy
a kid's toy, wear a dog poos.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
They're popular. Actually, one of my one of my girls
my other job, has one sitting on a desk, so
I think adals like them too.

Speaker 4 (16:29):
Yeah, maybe a sentory toy, but it was brown sausage dog.
Like I thought it was really cute. But not seeing
dollars in ninety five no terrible.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
Thanks K, thanks for the call.

Speaker 4 (16:41):
There is Bye,
