Speaker 1 (00:12):
Laura, come on in.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yo.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Hello, Hello. I think there's two types of people in
the world, you know, don't start. I know, I know,
it's three pm and I'm supposed to be here all chirpy,
and I am all chirpy, but like, I feel like
there's the Lauras of the world and the Mixes of
the world, and the Brits of the world who are
quite cranky.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Okay, you wanna know wh I'm cranky? Thanks for asking, Mitch.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
So this morning, I mean with Laura all day, right,
because before we do radio, we do a bunch of
other work.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
We do the podcast work, whatever, we have meetings.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
We've spent many hours together. That's why she's.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
So we're a few hours deep.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
And then one of our other friends comes to meet
us for a meeting, and she walks in and as
soon as she sees she has, oh, babe, what you
got all over your face?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
You got a big black mark on your face? And
I was like, what, pulled out my phone.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Sure enough, I had obviously wiped my mascara down across
my face, this huge black smudge. And I looked at
Laura and I was like, Laura, why haven't you told
me we've been together for hours, and she goes, oh,
I don't know, it was too hard.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
I could be bothered.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
You had to tell you.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
What did you say, Laura.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I didn't say it was too hard.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
I said I noticed it, but then I forgot so
I did, like I clocked it.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I clocked it.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
There was mascara there. But then like, I just forgot
about it and it didn't bother me. So I just
forgot to tell you.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
It doesn't have to bother you.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
It's on my face.
Speaker 6 (01:32):
It bothers me, but it didn't bother you because you
didn't know about it, and I was the only one there,
so no one.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
I have to get. You have to tell someone if
you've noticed something on the face, yes you.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Do, or I disagree. I think that there's two kinds
of people.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
There's people who criticize, and so they're so quick to
be like, excuse me, you've got something on your face.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
They want to be the vigilante criticizing. It's just letting
someone know I have got something face. It's okay. We
all have things on our face from time to time.
Just be okay with like, it's fine, you've got attitude
on yours, So what what I'm going to do. I'm
going to prove this year. I'm going to go put
something on my face. I'm going to walk out into
that radio studio right now. In the break, we'll see
how many people and who's sopety. I bet you no
(02:11):
one cares. I will put money on the fact that
not one single person out there, none of the producers care.
If you've got something on.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Your face, put lippy or something face and then we'll
see what they.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Say, because you'd say something, right, Mitch, of course it would.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Yeah, you're a real good friend. Then I adore you, and.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yeah, everyone thinks they will, and no one ever does.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Okay, coming up, let's see if Laura's wrong.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
All right, let's put it to the test.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
That is on the way play. Samantha Jade is joining
us on the show today. She's got a new Christmas
song and we've teamed up with her. We're giving you
the chance to have her perform at your school.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
So cute. That'll win you some brownie points in school,
won't it.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
Totally.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
Sam's joining us on the show soon thanks to Chemist's Warehouse.
Let's start heading today great savings every day.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
If you guys just missed it.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
We're having a bit of a fiery debate here at
the pickup Laura, Mitch and myself, because I think there's
two kinds of people in the world. One that will
tell you if you have something in your teeth, something
on your face, your tags out, your shirts inside out,
which is yourself, Mitch and myself.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Then there's the other kind of person who doesn't have.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
The respect to let you know that there is something
on your face, and that is you. No, you say this.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
As though I'm like maliciously not telling people. I'm just
conflict avoidant. It just doesn't I'm.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Not conflict avoidan.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Telling someone they have something on their face isn't a conflict.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
You do it a favor.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Hang on Anyway, I had saying on my face for
hours Laura. Laura ignored it. She just let it sit
on my face. Somebody else, somebody else had big deal.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
But it was not a big deal.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Four and you didn't bring it up.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
It was a tiny speck, it was not It was
a smuch, a big smunch. The point that another friend
walked in within two seconds was like, oh babe, something's
all over your face.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Let me get it off. And I was like, oh wow,
what a good frank.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
So then I thought, you know what, I'm gonna put
it to the test right here. I'm going to put
some lipstick or something on my face. I'm going to
walk out into the radio station and see how long
it takes anybody to notice and tell me. Within five seconds,
I hadn't even made it out the door. One of
the guys is like, oh, you've baby got something your face.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Have listened.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
What's happening your face? You kiss face? See that's natural,
Laura sounds calm cook.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
No, no, no, okay, let's just set the scene first.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
We're talking a little smudge of muscar out of place.
We're talking lipstick smeared on your face?
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Did like, but did that sound like a conflict, because
you don't like conflict. It wasn't a conflict.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
It just was an unavoidable thing that it was so
obviously there a big kiss of lipstick.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I would have said that as well.
Speaker 7 (04:27):
It was a bit of noxious bree related on figlet.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
So you waved that cheek around. You were like, someone
tell me that, shaking your cheek. You were going literally
just talking like a normal human. Anyway, Moving along, I
moved into the masses of people, and then one minute later.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
This, how are you rocking a lips cheek for some
sort of.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Okay? All right, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
I feel like I need to defend myself what you're
also not pointing out? Yes, great, you have audio of
the two people when not.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Talking about the equal amount of people who were in there,
who didn't say anything, who just kept quiet.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
Who are the Laura Burns of this department? And that
is what happens. There are some people who will tell you,
and there are some people and it just it's just.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Not a big deal.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Hang on. Those people also said this, so there you go.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
They said that they actually saw it straight away but
figured it was something to do with radio, so they
didn't bring it up. For that part.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
I also thought your mascara it was something to do
with radio, So I thought that you would just look
at all this content we've gotten out of it.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
You know. I felt like it was a setup, and
I feel like you've gone down setup.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
You've gone down the friend lader.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
I just think, do you know what, I think we
care too much. It's okay if you got something stuck
in your teeth.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
On your face.
Speaker 7 (05:43):
Laurie, you've come to the studio with full on child
fecal matter on your face.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
No one told me because that was rank.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
We're embarrassed for you. We don't want to.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
I've got two children. They tell me all the things
that the things that's wrong with me.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Anyway, I'm confident with our choices in life.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Yes, saw way news. Guess he's coming into the studio next.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Oh my god, Yeah, she's got Christmas Tinsel on her phone.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Are you going to tell her everything that's wrong with
her as well? There's nothing wrong with if there's a
hair out of place where you let her know?
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Samantha Jade is an angel.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
There is nothing wrong say that about our guests standing
by to join us.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
He's coming on the show next. We have teamed up
with her to give you a shot to get a
performance to perform at your school.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Cool, so fun. It would be so fun to have
her come in andto a.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Song totally all the details next me.
Speaker 7 (06:27):
Jade's on with us at the pickup after this listen,
you'll know our next guest as being an Australian icon.
You may also be able to get her at your
kids school very soon. She's giving you the chance to
perform live. You might even get a brand new Christmas song,
Christmas Kiss. The One and Only Samantha Jay joins us.
Now Hello Sammy, Hello, welcome back.
Speaker 8 (06:48):
Thanks guys. I always love chatting to you. How are we?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
We are good? How okay?
Speaker 6 (06:53):
I want to know you've just written a Christmas song
Christmas Kiss? How is that different to writing and you know,
a fire, a relationship song or a love song, and
then you've got a Christmas Carol?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Do you know what?
Speaker 7 (07:04):
It is?
Speaker 8 (07:05):
A different It's a different feeling altogether because you can
kind of go all the way cheese and all the
way like hitch and like you can there's nothing you
can just do it, and it's like people actually love it.
It's the one time of the year that everyone's like,
I'm okay with the cheese. And so I kind of
was writing the lyrics and I was like, this is
I can this is not it's too cheesy, and my
(07:27):
friend was like, it's Christmas like it. That's how it is. Oh,
it's really fun and you can put all of the
melodies that you want to do that, you know, because
when you're writing a song sometimes you're in the room
you're like, oh, that melody is too like everyone will
sink will go there, so we shouldn't. But Christmas is
the time to do those melodies and all the backgrounds
and yeah, it's just it was really, really fun. I've
(07:49):
got to say, this is the most fun I've had
writing a song in a while.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Samantha, do you think not to put you on the spot,
but do you think you could give.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Us like a little taste? Would you sing a little
acoustic for us right now? Or is that asking too much?
Speaker 8 (08:00):
No, I can do that. I'll give you a bit
of the verse because the verse is really cute. So
the kind of of Christmas night a comus.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Bad from the Games?
Speaker 7 (08:20):
Oh yeah, I can hear my Auntie's drunk on eggs
glaring that Christmas day.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Honestly, it just takes you to like you're sitting around dessert,
everyone's singing.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
And exactly what you just said, you can't.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
Get too corny on Christmas essentially, but also like this
is what we need. We need new Christmas songs because
no one wants to carry it's done put.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Yeah, I want transparency sent me.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
Do you read the articles where everyone goes Mariah carry
makes two million dollars a day at Christmas?
Speaker 5 (08:47):
Is that why you're releasing a Christmas song for the royalties?
Speaker 8 (08:50):
Listen, I will say it is the gifts that keeps
on giving because every year you can just be like
putting it out again.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
You wheel that bad Boy out, you just see the
royalties roll back in.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
So, Sam, what's happening. What's happening with the competition?
Speaker 7 (09:01):
You're giving people the chance to perform at the school
to hear the song live.
Speaker 8 (09:06):
Basically, we're going to come and perform at the school exactly. Yeah,
So we'll come and we'll do Christmas kids, and we'll
do a few other songs, a few more carols and yeah.
I mean there's nothing better I think than live music.
There's there's a feeling that that you just you can't
get through the phone or through anything. It's in person.
It's so much better. So we're like, we've got to
go to the schools and perform for them.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
So far, well, we're giving you the chance.
Speaker 7 (09:26):
If you want to submit your school the pickup dot
com dot a you answer in twenty five words or
less why you want some anthe jay there, and we'll
give you will take Sam to you and you're so tiny,
we'll just put.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Her in a little put a. This is so beautiful.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Also, speaking of kids, okay, I have a four year
old to two year old and we were talking about
it last week.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
This is so is my time. Okay. I think my
kids are gifted. I think that they are going to.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Be the next singers the big Australian export, especially my
four year old.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Sure potential, they have potential.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
I need you, I need you to weigh in.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
I've got some recordings of their little singing lawless too.
Molly's fat, Like, let's be kind to them, you know,
let's not dash their dreams before it started.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
That'd be fine to me.
Speaker 7 (10:08):
Sam did win the X Factor, so Sam is perfect
for to judge this, to judge that, I know.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I'm so glad that you're here. Okay, this is Molly mate.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
She loves all the boys. I'm oh, I well.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
She was?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Well then, yeah, that's so bad.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
What do you thought, Sam?
Speaker 3 (10:41):
It's an old English nursery rhyme.
Speaker 8 (10:47):
My note would be practice makes perfect and keep practicing,
keep going, keep practicing.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Okay, here's the two year old s.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Leggy girl.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
We cut that off for your own safe I.
Speaker 8 (11:04):
Mean I'm going to say this, the lettle girl that
was that was that was in the right key, So.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
That was good.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Think two year old's better. Actually she's better than Marley.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I do too. Let's not tell Marley that is orange.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
But we're not going to say that to Maley. No, listen,
like not many people can properly sing into their a
little older so you don't really know. I mean I
started when I was seven. That's when my mum was like, oh,
I feel like this is different than the other kids,
So I think they can keep practicing.
Speaker 6 (11:29):
No, what I'm getting from this is that most children
don't know they're till they're seven, but mine do.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
They're quite good.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Yeah you think that's not what I heard or what
brit heard. No, let's roll on the sliders. All right,
Well it's.
Speaker 7 (11:39):
About the Jay's new Christmas single, Christmas Kiss out December first. Yeah,
this Friday. So excited, Sam, Thanks for having me. Thanks Sam,
I don't forget the pickup dot com dot au twenty
five words or less.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Why you want Samantha Jay at your school? Will get
her there? All right? Back after this on the pickup.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
No, I think it's widely known that cosmetic surgery comes
with risk, Right, if you're going to go and you're
gonna have some sort of enhancement done, you kin'd assign
your life away that there are some inherent risks that
come with getting any type of surgery. Now, one might
not expect the sort of risk that this poor woman
has experienced. So a lady named Kimberly McCormick, she went
to Mexico to go and have she'd been to this
(12:17):
clinic before she went, and she had like a successful
weight loss surgery.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
But she went there to have some of the skin.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Removed, because if you've lost a lot of weight, you
can have excess skin. And she also wanted to get
a breast lift. So she flew to Mexico to get
these procedures done. And she woke up and she was
very sore. She had a really sore chest. And then
she realized something was incredibly wrong. Now, this is a
sixty five year old woman, and she had plans for
what she wanted to look like. But she woke up
(12:43):
and she had been given breast implants, a full sea
cup of breast implants.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Have a listened to this. When I woke up, my
chest was really souring.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
And I went.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
And I just started bawling.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
Wait wait, wait, wait she were Wait so she woke
up with boobs right with breast implanted boo.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
She had before.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
She's a dream of that, waking up with booth.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Oh yeah, but no, not if it's not what you want.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
If you just after a little little nip and a tuck,
you're not after having a full set of put in. Anyway,
Then she realized, actually, I'm kind of painful in other
areas as well. Don't Why is my backside during so much?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
They gave her a Brazilian butt lift.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
They completely mixed up her surgeries and gave her the
surgeries which they were going to give to someone else.
But wait for it, they're trying to charge her seventy
five thousand dollars, which equates like sixty euro I think,
for seventy five thousand in expenses for all of the
procedures that she had, which wasn't even the surgeries that
she wanted in the first place.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
It's really sad.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
It's so funny.
Speaker 7 (13:41):
You would think that the surgeon would see your name,
the name Kimberly McCormack, and go, don't think that's the
kind of person that worlds beer.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Kimberly McCormack.
Speaker 7 (13:48):
That's the whitest name I've ever heard. Like, she's probably
in for a hip replacement, not a BB and.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
You have to pay for the wrong service.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
No, but I mean because this is in Mexico and
they're saying so normally you would sign like a consent
form for the surgeries that you're having, but they're saying
that when she went in for her surgery, she gave
verbal consent.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
It's having a sense.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
Also, if you've been given anesthetic, how can you be
giving any sort of verbal consent You've been off your mind.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
There was no such thing as a verbal consent in
any theater. They don't have a leg to stand what
i'mout in Mexico.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
That's not what I was going to say, because apparently
that says here she reportedly requested a full sea set,
but maybe she said I want a full seet and
Mexican they thought she went see I guess se set.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
I want to see set. But ah see, yes, maybe
there's a language barrier, do you know what?
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (14:34):
I mean, I know that this is a very rare case,
but I had a really weird experience happened to me
when I was in my twenties. So I had a
kidney infection and it was so bad. It was kidneys
when in my bladder and I ended up in hospital.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Now I had some tests and scans done and they
came back.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
I had like the ultrasound thing done. It came back
that I had a gore bladder completely full of gallstones.
So this had kind of turned into a bit of
an emergency situation. I had the head surgeon come over,
and you know, when you're going in for an operation,
the surgeon will come over and they'll run you through
everything that's going to happen in the operation. So I
kind of had that meeting. At the time, I was
(15:11):
dating a surgeon. So I was dating a guy who
was a surgeon. He was there, and so they were
having this conversation and he was like, can I see
Can I see the scans? Can I see the ultrasounds?
And he was like, it just doesn't make sense. He goes, God,
this looks like the insides of an old lady. So
I'd been scheduled to go in and have my operation
in three hours, and he goes, I just I'm just
gonna get them to look over it again. They had
(15:33):
mixed up my scans with the woman two beds.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Down who was an old lady.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
She was in her nineties, and three hours later she
went in and got her gallbladder removed.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Oh my god, could you imagine you've.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Worked in the hospitalized. Does that happen more than a think?
Speaker 4 (15:46):
No, it does not happen more than any think. But
it does happen.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
And what happens is you just pick up another person's
file accidentally and then their fault. All their extras and
images go into that file that day. But you know
the difference between looking at and inside of a twenty
five your old and inside of a sixty five.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Year old that's so crazy.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
When you cut them open, you realize, actually, maybe we
made a mistake.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Yeah, that's I actually had the opposite of that.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
They thought my appendix was broken about to explain now,
They thought it was about to explode in flying But
it was actually four chief stringers that I'd microwaved and got.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Now that happens a lot.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
That happens.

White Mentors, Tictac, wallet, tampons, receipt. The thing I cannot
bring myself to throw out whether I was my previous job.
We had a little group session where everyone gave their
(17:43):
workmate's positive notes. So I've got about those.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Who we should do that. Okay, I want to hear
one of the notes. Do you have one that's your
favorite that when you're having a bad day you go
and listen to or you read back?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Just said, I love how you interact with customers and
your workmates. It is honestly so great to hear how
down to earth and friendly you are.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
That's so sweet. You're a busy working woman. Is a
thousand bucks? Go take the cash?
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Oh my god, thank you?
Speaker 5 (18:12):
Well, Dane, what are you going to spend it on
for Chrissy? What's the stitch?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Well, because I'm no longer in that job, I've actually
got a new job to go through next year, So
money has been so tight. Definitely with the three kids.
They definitely deserve just a big president each the new job.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
You have to make sure to go well, this is
what everyone else thought of me because they carried it around.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
With me everywhere I go. So I need new fresh affirmations.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Bacentally drop it on the ground on your first day.
Oh my god, I feel that no fell out of
my bad.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
I'd like to do that here at the pickup. We
should a write each other notes.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
That'll be hard.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
That'll be hard, Stacey. We hope you enjoy, and also
for everyone who is juggling so much work and family,
it's a lot, and it's really nice to have these
moments to celebrate.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
And all enjoy. Stacy, thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
By stay.
Speaker 7 (18:53):
We got all cash too, so the pickup dot com
dot you if you want to reagi double against you guys,
Laura, come on in.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yo.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Hello, Hello. I think there's two types of people in
the world, you know, don't start. I know, I know,
it's three pm and I'm supposed to be here all chirpy,
and I am all chirpy, but like, I feel like
there's the Lauras of the world and the Mixes of
the world, and the Brits of the world who are
quite cranky.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Okay, you wanna know wh I'm cranky? Thanks for asking, Mitch.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
So this morning, I mean with Laura all day, right,
because before we do radio, we do a bunch of
other work.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
We do the podcast work, whatever, we have meetings.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
We've spent many hours together. That's why she's.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
So we're a few hours deep.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
And then one of our other friends comes to meet
us for a meeting, and she walks in and as
soon as she sees she has, oh, babe, what you
got all over your face?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
You got a big black mark on your face? And
I was like, what, pulled out my phone.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Sure enough, I had obviously wiped my mascara down across
my face, this huge black smudge. And I looked at
Laura and I was like, Laura, why haven't you told
me we've been together for hours, and she goes, oh,
I don't know, it was too hard.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
I could be bothered.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
You had to tell you.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
What did you say, Laura.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I didn't say it was too hard.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
I said I noticed it, but then I forgot so
I did, like I clocked it.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I clocked it.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
There was mascara there. But then like, I just forgot
about it and it didn't bother me. So I just
forgot to tell you.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
It doesn't have to bother you.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
It's on my face.
Speaker 6 (01:32):
It bothers me, but it didn't bother you because you
didn't know about it, and I was the only one there,
so no one.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
I have to get. You have to tell someone if
you've noticed something on the face, yes you.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Do, or I disagree. I think that there's two kinds
of people.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
There's people who criticize, and so they're so quick to
be like, excuse me, you've got something on your face.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
They want to be the vigilante criticizing. It's just letting
someone know I have got something face. It's okay. We
all have things on our face from time to time.
Just be okay with like, it's fine, you've got attitude
on yours, So what what I'm going to do. I'm
going to prove this year. I'm going to go put
something on my face. I'm going to walk out into
that radio studio right now. In the break, we'll see
how many people and who's sopety. I bet you no
(02:11):
one cares. I will put money on the fact that
not one single person out there, none of the producers care.
If you've got something on.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Your face, put lippy or something face and then we'll
see what they.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Say, because you'd say something, right, Mitch, of course it would.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Yeah, you're a real good friend. Then I adore you, and.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yeah, everyone thinks they will, and no one ever does.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Okay, coming up, let's see if Laura's wrong.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
All right, let's put it to the test.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
That is on the way play. Samantha Jade is joining
us on the show today. She's got a new Christmas
song and we've teamed up with her. We're giving you
the chance to have her perform at your school.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
So cute. That'll win you some brownie points in school,
won't it.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
Totally.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
Sam's joining us on the show soon thanks to Chemist's Warehouse.
Let's start heading today great savings every day.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
If you guys just missed it.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
We're having a bit of a fiery debate here at
the pickup Laura, Mitch and myself, because I think there's
two kinds of people in the world. One that will
tell you if you have something in your teeth, something
on your face, your tags out, your shirts inside out,
which is yourself, Mitch and myself.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Then there's the other kind of person who doesn't have.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
The respect to let you know that there is something
on your face, and that is you. No, you say this.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
As though I'm like maliciously not telling people. I'm just
conflict avoidant. It just doesn't I'm.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Not conflict avoidan.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Telling someone they have something on their face isn't a conflict.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
You do it a favor.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Hang on Anyway, I had saying on my face for
hours Laura. Laura ignored it. She just let it sit
on my face. Somebody else, somebody else had big deal.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
But it was not a big deal.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Four and you didn't bring it up.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
It was a tiny speck, it was not It was
a smuch, a big smunch. The point that another friend
walked in within two seconds was like, oh babe, something's
all over your face.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Let me get it off. And I was like, oh wow,
what a good frank.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
So then I thought, you know what, I'm gonna put
it to the test right here. I'm going to put
some lipstick or something on my face. I'm going to
walk out into the radio station and see how long
it takes anybody to notice and tell me. Within five seconds,
I hadn't even made it out the door. One of
the guys is like, oh, you've baby got something your face.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Have listened.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
What's happening your face? You kiss face? See that's natural,
Laura sounds calm cook.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
No, no, no, okay, let's just set the scene first.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
We're talking a little smudge of muscar out of place.
We're talking lipstick smeared on your face?
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Did like, but did that sound like a conflict, because
you don't like conflict. It wasn't a conflict.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
It just was an unavoidable thing that it was so
obviously there a big kiss of lipstick.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I would have said that as well.
Speaker 7 (04:27):
It was a bit of noxious bree related on figlet.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
So you waved that cheek around. You were like, someone
tell me that, shaking your cheek. You were going literally
just talking like a normal human. Anyway, Moving along, I
moved into the masses of people, and then one minute later.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
This, how are you rocking a lips cheek for some
sort of.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Okay? All right, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
I feel like I need to defend myself what you're
also not pointing out? Yes, great, you have audio of
the two people when not.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Talking about the equal amount of people who were in there,
who didn't say anything, who just kept quiet.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
Who are the Laura Burns of this department? And that
is what happens. There are some people who will tell you,
and there are some people and it just it's just.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Not a big deal.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Hang on. Those people also said this, so there you go.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
They said that they actually saw it straight away but
figured it was something to do with radio, so they
didn't bring it up. For that part.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
I also thought your mascara it was something to do
with radio, So I thought that you would just look
at all this content we've gotten out of it.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
You know. I felt like it was a setup, and
I feel like you've gone down setup.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
You've gone down the friend lader.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
I just think, do you know what, I think we
care too much. It's okay if you got something stuck
in your teeth.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
On your face.
Speaker 7 (05:43):
Laurie, you've come to the studio with full on child
fecal matter on your face.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
No one told me because that was rank.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
We're embarrassed for you. We don't want to.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
I've got two children. They tell me all the things
that the things that's wrong with me.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Anyway, I'm confident with our choices in life.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Yes, saw way news. Guess he's coming into the studio next.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Oh my god, Yeah, she's got Christmas Tinsel on her phone.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Are you going to tell her everything that's wrong with
her as well? There's nothing wrong with if there's a
hair out of place where you let her know?
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Samantha Jade is an angel.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
There is nothing wrong say that about our guests standing
by to join us.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
He's coming on the show next. We have teamed up
with her to give you a shot to get a
performance to perform at your school.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Cool, so fun. It would be so fun to have
her come in andto a.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Song totally all the details next me.
Speaker 7 (06:27):
Jade's on with us at the pickup after this listen,
you'll know our next guest as being an Australian icon.
You may also be able to get her at your
kids school very soon. She's giving you the chance to
perform live. You might even get a brand new Christmas song,
Christmas Kiss. The One and Only Samantha Jay joins us.
Now Hello Sammy, Hello, welcome back.
Speaker 8 (06:48):
Thanks guys. I always love chatting to you. How are we?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
We are good? How okay?
Speaker 6 (06:53):
I want to know you've just written a Christmas song
Christmas Kiss? How is that different to writing and you know,
a fire, a relationship song or a love song, and
then you've got a Christmas Carol?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Do you know what?
Speaker 7 (07:04):
It is?
Speaker 8 (07:05):
A different It's a different feeling altogether because you can
kind of go all the way cheese and all the
way like hitch and like you can there's nothing you
can just do it, and it's like people actually love it.
It's the one time of the year that everyone's like,
I'm okay with the cheese. And so I kind of
was writing the lyrics and I was like, this is
I can this is not it's too cheesy, and my
(07:27):
friend was like, it's Christmas like it. That's how it is. Oh,
it's really fun and you can put all of the
melodies that you want to do that, you know, because
when you're writing a song sometimes you're in the room
you're like, oh, that melody is too like everyone will
sink will go there, so we shouldn't. But Christmas is
the time to do those melodies and all the backgrounds
and yeah, it's just it was really, really fun. I've
(07:49):
got to say, this is the most fun I've had
writing a song in a while.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Samantha, do you think not to put you on the spot,
but do you think you could give.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Us like a little taste? Would you sing a little
acoustic for us right now? Or is that asking too much?
Speaker 8 (08:00):
No, I can do that. I'll give you a bit
of the verse because the verse is really cute. So
the kind of of Christmas night a comus.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Bad from the Games?
Speaker 7 (08:20):
Oh yeah, I can hear my Auntie's drunk on eggs
glaring that Christmas day.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Honestly, it just takes you to like you're sitting around dessert,
everyone's singing.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
And exactly what you just said, you can't.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
Get too corny on Christmas essentially, but also like this
is what we need. We need new Christmas songs because
no one wants to carry it's done put.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Yeah, I want transparency sent me.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
Do you read the articles where everyone goes Mariah carry
makes two million dollars a day at Christmas?
Speaker 5 (08:47):
Is that why you're releasing a Christmas song for the royalties?
Speaker 8 (08:50):
Listen, I will say it is the gifts that keeps
on giving because every year you can just be like
putting it out again.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
You wheel that bad Boy out, you just see the
royalties roll back in.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
So, Sam, what's happening. What's happening with the competition?
Speaker 7 (09:01):
You're giving people the chance to perform at the school
to hear the song live.
Speaker 8 (09:06):
Basically, we're going to come and perform at the school exactly. Yeah,
So we'll come and we'll do Christmas kids, and we'll
do a few other songs, a few more carols and yeah.
I mean there's nothing better I think than live music.
There's there's a feeling that that you just you can't
get through the phone or through anything. It's in person.
It's so much better. So we're like, we've got to
go to the schools and perform for them.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
So far, well, we're giving you the chance.
Speaker 7 (09:26):
If you want to submit your school the pickup dot
com dot a you answer in twenty five words or
less why you want some anthe jay there, and we'll
give you will take Sam to you and you're so tiny,
we'll just put.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Her in a little put a. This is so beautiful.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Also, speaking of kids, okay, I have a four year
old to two year old and we were talking about
it last week.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
This is so is my time. Okay. I think my
kids are gifted. I think that they are going to.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Be the next singers the big Australian export, especially my
four year old.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Sure potential, they have potential.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
I need you, I need you to weigh in.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
I've got some recordings of their little singing lawless too.
Molly's fat, Like, let's be kind to them, you know,
let's not dash their dreams before it started.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
That'd be fine to me.
Speaker 7 (10:08):
Sam did win the X Factor, so Sam is perfect
for to judge this, to judge that, I know.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I'm so glad that you're here. Okay, this is Molly mate.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
She loves all the boys. I'm oh, I well.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
She was?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Well then, yeah, that's so bad.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
What do you thought, Sam?
Speaker 3 (10:41):
It's an old English nursery rhyme.
Speaker 8 (10:47):
My note would be practice makes perfect and keep practicing,
keep going, keep practicing.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Okay, here's the two year old s.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Leggy girl.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
We cut that off for your own safe I.
Speaker 8 (11:04):
Mean I'm going to say this, the lettle girl that
was that was that was in the right key, So.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
That was good.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Think two year old's better. Actually she's better than Marley.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I do too. Let's not tell Marley that is orange.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
But we're not going to say that to Maley. No, listen,
like not many people can properly sing into their a
little older so you don't really know. I mean I
started when I was seven. That's when my mum was like, oh,
I feel like this is different than the other kids,
So I think they can keep practicing.
Speaker 6 (11:29):
No, what I'm getting from this is that most children
don't know they're till they're seven, but mine do.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
They're quite good.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Yeah you think that's not what I heard or what
brit heard. No, let's roll on the sliders. All right,
Well it's.
Speaker 7 (11:39):
About the Jay's new Christmas single, Christmas Kiss out December first. Yeah,
this Friday. So excited, Sam, Thanks for having me. Thanks Sam,
I don't forget the pickup dot com dot au twenty
five words or less.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Why you want Samantha Jay at your school? Will get
her there? All right? Back after this on the pickup.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
No, I think it's widely known that cosmetic surgery comes
with risk, Right, if you're going to go and you're
gonna have some sort of enhancement done, you kin'd assign
your life away that there are some inherent risks that
come with getting any type of surgery. Now, one might
not expect the sort of risk that this poor woman
has experienced. So a lady named Kimberly McCormick, she went
to Mexico to go and have she'd been to this
(12:17):
clinic before she went, and she had like a successful
weight loss surgery.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
But she went there to have some of the skin.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Removed, because if you've lost a lot of weight, you
can have excess skin. And she also wanted to get
a breast lift. So she flew to Mexico to get
these procedures done. And she woke up and she was
very sore. She had a really sore chest. And then
she realized something was incredibly wrong. Now, this is a
sixty five year old woman, and she had plans for
what she wanted to look like. But she woke up
(12:43):
and she had been given breast implants, a full sea
cup of breast implants.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Have a listened to this. When I woke up, my
chest was really souring.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
And I went.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
And I just started bawling.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
Wait wait, wait, wait she were Wait so she woke
up with boobs right with breast implanted boo.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
She had before.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
She's a dream of that, waking up with booth.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Oh yeah, but no, not if it's not what you want.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
If you just after a little little nip and a tuck,
you're not after having a full set of put in. Anyway,
Then she realized, actually, I'm kind of painful in other
areas as well. Don't Why is my backside during so much?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
They gave her a Brazilian butt lift.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
They completely mixed up her surgeries and gave her the
surgeries which they were going to give to someone else.
But wait for it, they're trying to charge her seventy
five thousand dollars, which equates like sixty euro I think,
for seventy five thousand in expenses for all of the
procedures that she had, which wasn't even the surgeries that
she wanted in the first place.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
It's really sad.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
It's so funny.
Speaker 7 (13:41):
You would think that the surgeon would see your name,
the name Kimberly McCormack, and go, don't think that's the
kind of person that worlds beer.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Kimberly McCormack.
Speaker 7 (13:48):
That's the whitest name I've ever heard. Like, she's probably
in for a hip replacement, not a BB and.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
You have to pay for the wrong service.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
No, but I mean because this is in Mexico and
they're saying so normally you would sign like a consent
form for the surgeries that you're having, but they're saying
that when she went in for her surgery, she gave
verbal consent.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
It's having a sense.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
Also, if you've been given anesthetic, how can you be
giving any sort of verbal consent You've been off your mind.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
There was no such thing as a verbal consent in
any theater. They don't have a leg to stand what
i'mout in Mexico.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
That's not what I was going to say, because apparently
that says here she reportedly requested a full sea set,
but maybe she said I want a full seet and
Mexican they thought she went see I guess se set.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
I want to see set. But ah see, yes, maybe
there's a language barrier, do you know what?
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (14:34):
I mean, I know that this is a very rare case,
but I had a really weird experience happened to me
when I was in my twenties. So I had a
kidney infection and it was so bad. It was kidneys
when in my bladder and I ended up in hospital.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Now I had some tests and scans done and they
came back.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
I had like the ultrasound thing done. It came back
that I had a gore bladder completely full of gallstones.
So this had kind of turned into a bit of
an emergency situation. I had the head surgeon come over,
and you know, when you're going in for an operation,
the surgeon will come over and they'll run you through
everything that's going to happen in the operation. So I
kind of had that meeting. At the time, I was
(15:11):
dating a surgeon. So I was dating a guy who
was a surgeon. He was there, and so they were
having this conversation and he was like, can I see
Can I see the scans? Can I see the ultrasounds?
And he was like, it just doesn't make sense. He goes, God,
this looks like the insides of an old lady. So
I'd been scheduled to go in and have my operation
in three hours, and he goes, I just I'm just
gonna get them to look over it again. They had
(15:33):
mixed up my scans with the woman two beds.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Down who was an old lady.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
She was in her nineties, and three hours later she
went in and got her gallbladder removed.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Oh my god, could you imagine you've.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Worked in the hospitalized. Does that happen more than a think?
Speaker 4 (15:46):
No, it does not happen more than any think. But
it does happen.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
And what happens is you just pick up another person's
file accidentally and then their fault. All their extras and
images go into that file that day. But you know
the difference between looking at and inside of a twenty
five your old and inside of a sixty five.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Year old that's so crazy.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
