Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Laura, come on, we're back.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
We are back. Baby had a little.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Mini vacate, didn't we did? I want to be in Fiji.
It was so beautiful. But the honeymoon that wasn't a honeymoon.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
I went on my honeymoon everyround six months after the wedding,
mind you, but took my kids and took my sister
and her kids. Four children in the one house. Is
a little bit less honey happened on that moon than
what I would have liked.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
All right, did everybody watch the wonderful Laura Burne on
Dancing with Stars last night?

Speaker 4 (00:45):
Stars Dancing. She was so good we cut a word
out of the title she danced with stars? I did.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
I danced with stars in my eyes and look I
did the fox trot. And I'm going to say this,
I'm going to sound like a soul loser, but I
think I was robbed. Gave me a six and he
can kiss my eyes.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
You have said, right since we're starting, you like robbed, robbed, robbed,
And I was like, oh, I'll just go with it.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
She's not robbed. That wasn't a good performance last night.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
I agree with you. You were robs. That was it was beautiful.
It was a motive. I could feel what was going
on between you. I got the storyline a six that
was not a s.

Speaker 5 (01:21):
I agree, and you're acting Laura. I felt like I
was watching a year ten drama performance.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
It was so performance.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
It was such a performance that he's lost for if
you missed it, it was it was like a breakup.
I had to pretend like I was very in love
with my dance partner, Danil Matt had said to me,
my husband, he was like, if I don't feel jealous
from watching that performance, then you haven't done a good
enough job. And I asked him how he felt halfway
through and his response was not jealous, it was aroused.

(01:50):
There's something else we need to talk about.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
I unpack that for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
I think I just need to unpack that with my therapist.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
That's a thing.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Do you know what else has just come out in
the world of reality TV?

Speaker 1 (01:59):
The Bachelor?

Speaker 2 (02:00):
We have just had it announced that there are three
new Bachelors happening this season filming in Melbourne.

Speaker 4 (02:05):
How do we feel about the lineup?

Speaker 5 (02:08):
We will, Yeah, We'll get to that because I've got
hard feelings and Britain has a connection with some of them.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
In a way. I do have a bit of a kition.

Speaker 5 (02:15):
All will be revealed next. Let's start the show. Oh
by the way, of course, Taylor Swift's Air as Well
tour is coming to Australia. You guys know, we have
all the free Taylor Swift tickets here.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
We have all the tickets here.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yeah, it's coming up soon.

Speaker 5 (02:25):
We got a whole entire row for you and all
your friends on the way here at the pickup. It's
the pickup Monday afternoon with Britt, Laura and Mitch Hi.
Everyone rushing to Chemists ware House to get half priced
off the Nature's Own Vitamin range.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
It excludes bulk sizes. You get Chemists ware House, you
get great savings. It's every day.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Did you hear the news that did not stop the nation?
Maybe it paused the nation for all of about a
second before. Yeah, they saw it and they went and
then they carried on with their day. But it was
some news. The new bachelor's and I say bachelors because
once again there's three of them have just been announced
over the weekend. Now I have a soft spot for
the bachelor, as I mean, some of you might know

(03:02):
I met my husband on the Bachelor. It used to
be a formula for successful relationships. Fifty percent of the
relationships that have come out of the Bachelor have been successful. British,
I have.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
Less of a soft spot. Okay, I love it, but
love that for you. You got happy ending.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Great met my husband, got a couple of kids. Worked
out well for me. This year, they're doing the whole
three bachelor thing again, but I feel like it didn't
go that well last year, so I don't understand why
they have decided that they will push forward with the format.
These are the most desirable men that we could find
in the whole of the country. Luke Bateman, he's a
former NRL player. He likes to write poems and he

(03:41):
has known just why. He's a country boy, and he
used to be a footy head and now he's a softie.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
I love that I'm looking at right now, definite like
footy player.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
Physique, very stocky's stocky. He looks really nice.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
He's got a smile.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
He does have a nice smile, poetic smile. He's got
a colieflowery or too. On further inspections.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
His last year he does player, so he hit around
the head a few to me. That's why he's I reckon,
he's like, if I was going to go off looks,
i'd pick him. I think he looks. Okay. Sorry, Number
two we've got here. His name is Wesley Cortez. He's
a Brazilian student who's also an influencer. So not only
could we not find, we've found someone who doesn't even

(04:19):
have their permanent residency.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
I don't think hold on, hold on, he's doing this
for a green card, not love.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
No, he needs to stay in Australia. So he's gone
on a reality TV show.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
That'd be a red flag for me. I don't know
if you actually want to be here, sort of like
the Honey Badger.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Totally yeah, look very same, very well.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
I mean, I've said he's an influencer, but I mean,
and not to be like he's only got thirty thousand followers,
but he's only got about thirty thousand followers.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Who's the influencer?

Speaker 5 (04:43):
Says he has appeared in several short films. He's one
of those that he's been cast because he's clearly an actor.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
I don't believe any of this.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
I think it's in short films, okay, right, and then
the third guy that we have, which is once again
Top of Australia, is a guy named Ben Woodell. Now.
He is an ex model. He he works in film.
I don't know, some sort of like maybe he works
on the producing side of it now but also works
on the acting side of it. There seems to be
a common theme here.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
I reckon Ben's hot. Yeah, he's pretty good looking.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Okay, wait wait wait, wait, Brittany Hockily because we've got
something to unpack in a moment. The common theme is
that there's a lot of actors happening in this year's casting. Yeah,
but Pritt turns out that maybe you have a little
bit of connection with our Ben Wodell.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Okay, funny story. I wouldn't say connection. But when they
announced this just was it just yesterday? Yeah, when they
announced this, I was like, oh my god, that guy
looks really familiar. And then I saw the name and
I was like, hang on a minute. I went into
my DMS and he and I had He had slid
into my DMS back in It was in October and

(05:48):
we were chatting from October to November, and I had
met my current partner.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
Band in November. So I went back through our DMS.
He slid in and he.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
Was like, I'm not going to go into it right,
I'm not going to detail it because that's rude. But
he did say, you know, my friend told me to
follow you because I think she thought would be a
good match, and boy was she right. And that was
how it started. He's really funny. He was very charismatic
in the DMS.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
I don't have a bad word to say about him.
We just I just ghosted him for some reason. At
the end, I don't say you never met up.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
He asked you out you never met up.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
Well, we've bantered back and forth for a while, and
I seem to have a theme with this. Remember this
happened with Jimmy from The Bachelor, which Jimmy and I
have laughed about it now.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
Jimmy and I had.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
Also been talking before he became the Bachelor, and I
also accidentally ghosted him.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
Ben seems great.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Obviously there was nothing there because he was supposed to
go on and be the Bachelor. But he was very charismatic,
very witty. So I think he's going to go on
this show and be a bit of a smooth operator.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
That was the vibe I got. But I never met
the guy.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
No, but it wasn't for you. He just wasn't. He
didn't didn't really.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
I obviously wasn't in the right place. But two weeks
later I was because that's when I met Ben.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
But don't take it personally, Ben, but it's very personally.

Speaker 5 (06:52):
Well.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
I did a little bit of diggy and it turns
out maybe he will be very good at reality TV
because he's had a bit of experience. He's actually been
on another reality TV show before in the past, one
that was in the UK and it was called Taking
New York.

Speaker 5 (07:05):
See, that is the problem with this stuff. I can't
stand it when they cast actors and people that just
want game, they just want to beamers.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
I'm going to disagree with you. I do one hundred
pcent disagree.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
I think it's okay to be somebody that's out going
and love's entertainment and still want to find love. So
I'm going to go against the grain with.

Speaker 4 (07:20):
You on that one.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
Just because they've done shit in the past doesn't mean
it's they can't go and find love on a show
as well.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
Doesn't mean that they.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Can't go on to show fine love and get lots
of Instagram followers.

Speaker 5 (07:28):
And the Blue Tick Yeah yeah, and get ghosted by
Brittany Hockey. It's a ride a basket. Excuse me.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
Maddie j was a model before he became the Bachelor,
so there are people.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Don't. Don't drag my husband into this catwalk stories.

Speaker 5 (07:40):
We can't wait to see The Bachelor Australia. It's coming
to Channel ten to ten play very soon.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Now.

Speaker 5 (07:45):
Next, we've got a full row of tickets for you
and your friends to see Taylor Swift at the Era's
World Tour. Like you and your friends, Oh, take them? Yeah,
and we got them for you coming up in the minutes.
Here at the pickup Monday on the pick up britt
Laura and mit Chad in the chemisware house today a
great savings every day, guys.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
I'm so excited, you know I I'm the take head
of the show.

Speaker 5 (08:07):
I love proclaimed you social media or please whenever your
phone's broken, she comes crying to me, help me.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Knows nothing about technology. She doesn't even know how to
open up Gmail.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
That's a lie. I've run our entire business for three years.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Listen, listen.

Speaker 5 (08:20):
What you guys do, what you guys thrive on is
social media and there's a new app in the game and.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
It's called Threads. You guys across Threads.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Oh, look, I've heard of it. I have not downloaded it.
I've not looked into it.

Speaker 4 (08:31):
I am entirely across it.

Speaker 5 (08:32):
Okay, So Threads is owned by Meta, which is the
parent company that owns Facebook and Instagram.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Mark Zuckerberg, essentially.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
He owns everything.

Speaker 5 (08:39):
And it's a Twitter killer. That's what it's been branded
as a Twitter killer. It's basically it's a ripoff of Twitter.
All it is is a place for you to start conversations,
post topical things political with you and your friends, memes, jokes.
It is purely think of it like threads. Like you
say something, someone comments and it creates a little thread
of you don't want to love.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
I love that they've tried to frame it as something different.
I did read that they were calling it microblogging, and
it's literally Twitter. Elon Musk was apparently going to sue him.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah, you'll sue the Zuckerberg is.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
It's called Twitter killer.

Speaker 5 (09:07):
Elon Musk, who owns Twitter, threatened to sue Mark Zuckerberg
because this app has set new records. It's now sitting
at one hundred million downloads since Thursday. It launched on Thursday.
Here are some points of difference. Just because I know
neither of you are jumping at the thought sign up.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Also because I know nothing about it, I don't see
the point in trying to get my thoughts across in
like twenty words or.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
I message Laura. I'm like, have you heard about Threads?

Speaker 5 (09:31):
She's like, get a pair of sciss and cut it
off at the base. I'm like, oh, that's an app.
It's an app, Laura, It's very different.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
So okay.

Speaker 5 (09:37):
The difference is no DMS. It's only Threads. You can
only post, there's no chat, there's no way to send
photos on memes to friends, no DMS at all. You
can set your account to public or private. It mirrors
your Instagram, so when you create it, because it's owned
by Meta, you can sing all of your Instagram followers,
all of your friends, all the people that already follow
you can automatically follow you. It's pretty incredible. Downside to

(09:59):
that is if you download Threads and you want to
delete it, the only way to delete it is to
delete your Instagram profile.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
No, that's actually true, but there is a way around that.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Stop posting on threads.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Take it over here, Britt, you're breaking news.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
I told you.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
Because you think I'm not across it, I downloaded threads. Guys,
I'm on threads. I've never tweeted in my life. I
don't even know what a tweet is. But I have threaded,
I have sown, I have done whatever the threading thing.

Speaker 5 (10:27):
I through the needle really well. Message me and she said, Mitch,
is this something that I need to be a part of?
And I said yeah, I think so. And then she
said can I make money on it? And I said no,
and she said then I'm not interested.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
Well no, hang on, you exaggerated that. I was curious,
and I said, is this something you make money on? Like?

Speaker 4 (10:44):
Is this something people are going to post ads on?

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Purely because I wouldn't have done it because you said
you can't make money and I'm on there.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
There's no ads you can't put out on You.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
Actually can't everyone. This is the crazy thing, right, one
hundred million people signed up. No one read the terms
and conditions. It came out once a hundred million people
were on there that you can't ever deleted it without
doing your Instagram. You're right, but what you can do
is just turn off your thread up?

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Can I just say? Is so annoying because all it
means is that they're going to claim that there's all
these accounts on threads and so many of them are
going to be dormant because it's going to be so
many people who don't have active accounts, which is like
spam accounts. It just sounds annoying. It sounds like another
thing that's going to keep me on my phone and
I don't want it.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Okay, so you're not sold.

Speaker 5 (11:23):
Britain has it, but she like fell on a keyboard
and she just sent out like four essays it wasn't
a real thread, and thousands.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Of responses to those, and you are like, well into
the thread.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
I've gone thread viral.

Speaker 5 (11:36):
Yeah, I've gone thro Producer Tony here on the show.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Do we have a threads for the pickup?

Speaker 3 (11:41):
Perhaps we don't, but we can get one if everyone
if we're doing a little vote here, but we'll.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Never be able to delete it forever.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
All right, I'm voting threads for the pickup, Britt.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
Yeah, if I don't have to do anything on there,
no producing Tony is like, sure, I'll just do another
job off the show why.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
Alright, I went on there. I threaded three times.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
Everyone was threading and I was like, oh, panicking, So
I threaded three times.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
Then I went off and I haven't been on there since.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
What was your first thread? Britt?

Speaker 3 (12:09):
My first thread here says literally never tweeted in my life.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
Pray for me. That was what I did.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
I'm not about it as somebody that's been on there.
Maybe my mind will be changed, but I probably will
never thread again because I just think there's what's the point, Like,
I don't have the time to do it, and I
don't really.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
Think I'm an early adopt.

Speaker 5 (12:27):
I got into only Fans early and I did very
well on that app, and I'm going to do very
well on threads.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
Please stop sending mich death threats.

Speaker 5 (12:32):
Please threads, threads, threads all right, pick up threads coming tomorrow.
We'll have an update then back next. Britt had something
stolen from her on a most recent trip to BALLEI.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
Yeah, I got wildly robbed in Bali.

Speaker 4 (12:48):
I'll tell you about it after on their.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Way pick up. It's Monday.

Speaker 5 (12:51):
On the pickup with Britt, Laura and Mitch. Thanks to
Chemists Warehouse running now get half priced off the Nature's
Own vitamin range. It excludes bulk sizes chemists where house
got great savings every day.

Speaker 3 (13:02):
Well, you guys know, we just went on holiday. I
went to Bali with my lovely partner Ben. I'm very
pro Barley.

Speaker 4 (13:07):
I love it.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
I've been a hundred times. I like to feel like
I'm a bit of a pro at Balley. You do
love a bit of a Barlei trip, don't you share clothes?
And it's beautiful and it's amazing.

Speaker 5 (13:17):
When we all went together. You rode around on a
scooter for four days with your helmet on backwards, and
the locals were laughing at you.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
They all know who I am. I went No, they're
laughing at you.

Speaker 4 (13:26):
Know if that happened once with you and you filmed it.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
No, I took Ben there. Ben hadn't been there. And
if you guys been following on for a while, Ben
is from Switzerland and he's scared of all these animals.
It's every animal in the world he's got a problem with. Anyway,
I've told him a lot about the monkeys there, and
you've got to be careful with them there. Anyway, Barley
was amazing, But I did get robbed there. Unfortunately, she
was a very traumatic event. But what I want to

(13:48):
say is we're going back to the monkeys traumatic.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
Let's move on about the monkeys.

Speaker 4 (13:54):
I don't want to sit on the traumatory.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
I've been traumatized, but monkeys, you'll understand it the endala.
I've been traumatized by monkeys in bar as well. They're awful.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
Oh I got that monkey. There's a monkey like garden,
isn't there forest.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
All of them and people go there and pay money.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
It's horrible.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
Yeah, well that's not what I did, but I had
been you know, I was a bit cocky and confident
with Ben. I was like, Babe, like stick with me.

Speaker 4 (14:14):
I've got this.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
Like I know, Bali, I come here all the time.
This is what we're doing, and took him to all
the places. I was just like, you know, showing off
a little bit. We're in this beautiful cliff top villa
and you know, there are a lot of trees around,
and there were a lot of monkeys around, and I
had been.

Speaker 4 (14:27):
On his back.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
I was like, Ben, you cannot leave anything around. You
cannot leave doors open. The monkeys will come in, they'll
steal your stuff, they'll take stuff, they'll trash the place,
like I was.

Speaker 4 (14:37):
Hounding him on this point.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
Then one day we're out the back by the pool
and we were having some lunch and a drink and
were swimming.

Speaker 4 (14:45):
This is our own little villa.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
And I had taken my hat off because I was
going to go for a swim, but I was also eating.

Speaker 4 (14:52):
So I took my in visil.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
Line out because you guys know, I wear hi visil
line like the cue they retain. I was a retain
that's very sexy.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
So I took my.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
Bizzeline out, put it in my hat, left it on
the chair.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
We dove in the water.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
We're having this great time, and then it was like
slow motion. I looked up to the roof and I
saw that there was this monkey.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
He looked at me. I looked at him. Ben looked
at him. Ben looked at me.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
He jumped off, ran across, and it was slow motion.
I was like, no, got my hat, took the inmbizzel
line out with one hand.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
Monkey my hat straight in.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
Popped that straight in and you should see his teeth
right now. I was like no. I was like slow
motion and I it was like a toddler.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
The toddler looks at you, and you know when a
toddler takes something and you're like, don't drop it, drop
it now, stop stopping.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
Looked at me.

Speaker 4 (15:40):
Put the inmizeline in his mouth.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
That didn't happen. Put the hat on also didn't happen.
But he jumped off and ran away with my bizl
Oh my god. Now if you don't know him, bizzeline,
this is me ruined.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
It's made specifically for my teeth.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
You cannot replace that in bisilone.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
I was gonna say when you walked in today, the
teeth have moved and you look a bit button like
what happened to you on the holiday.

Speaker 3 (16:02):
Anyway, disastrous and now I'm back to square one.

Speaker 5 (16:05):
Well, heading to Barley soon. You look for the monkey
with the really straight.

Speaker 4 (16:09):
There's one new monkey bachelor that is killing all right.

Speaker 5 (16:13):
Well, I feel like everyone has an animal running story.
Cocker two once tried to bite me in the face.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
I once got shut on by a pelican.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
Yeah, it's horrendous, like having a bucket of fish sauce
thrown on you.

Speaker 4 (16:24):
I also got bitten by a camel.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
I think we're all trying to one up each other
now with the worst animal stories.

Speaker 5 (16:30):
Well, you know what if you can top all of
that five hundred bucks at Chemists Warehouse, what was your
running with an animal?

Speaker 1 (16:35):
An animal? Do you dirty?

Speaker 4 (16:36):
Yeah? When an animal do you dirty?

Speaker 3 (16:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (16:38):
The pickup dot com dot you right into us. We'll
give you five hundred Chemists ware House and we're out
of here.
