Starting point is 00:00:00 This episode is recorded on Gadigal land of the Aurora Nation. Hi guys and welcome back to another episode of Life Uncut. I'm Laura. I'm Brittany. I'm Mitch. And this is our pick-up show, which normally is a very upbeat show. But this week, our radio show was very, very different to what it normally is. Yeah. Well, listen, it's out there now. People are talking about it. I've had some lovely messages, and it's in the press,
Starting point is 00:00:41 and we've spoken about it live on the show. So you're about to hear what did air earlier in the week. But you may have noticed that I wasn't on with the girls for the last couple of days on the pick-up, and that is because I am not returning to Kiss. I'm not returning to the pick-up. um uh it has been decided that um there is no viable option for me to continue at kiss in the new year um i've been made redundant mitch we've recorded this like three like for you guys we
Starting point is 00:01:05 recorded this three times now and every time every time so you guys know kind of like how i guess a bit of how this kind of our setup works with the pickup we are contracted by arn which is called the australian radio network right they created the pickup but we were already really great friends and we already had the saturday show together and so we were given the news and this is kind of all unfolded in real time for us as well um because we have had no ability to change what's happened you know like we have had no say over this and the thing that's so different about life uncut is that life uncut is ours like brit and i like we own life uncut we own the content we own who's on it nobody can tell us what we can and can't do on this podcast because it is it is
Starting point is 00:01:49 ours at its core and so that's what's so deeply different between a radio show and then us being able to do the podcast and we are you guys will hear the break like what went to air as well but like we are so devastated by this decision and just to ensure there are like no rumors that are floating around we none of us no one saw this coming you have been part of the furniture here and part of our lives and the radio's life for so long that we just thought you'd see out your days here and we were all made aware of this mitch laura and myself at the exact same time but in different meetings so because you are like you're such an integral part of our life and our show and we don't want to do it without you laura and i see enough of each other but um in all seriousness
Starting point is 00:02:34 yeah it's it was a shock to all of us as much as the pickup drops into our feet on a sunday for life on cart it's also a very very separate product and like you are not you are not leaving this family like you are not leaving the life uncut family mitch and like we will make sure that there is some way and it's all happened in real time like we don't know and have the answers for everything yet but we will make sure that like our little trio stays together in some capacity whether that looks like doing ask uncuts together when we can or like how you know look this we will figure out plans that will be in the works but well it got out in the press and people were asking and then people were saying were the girls across and and i just want to say i mean you guys
Starting point is 00:03:17 fought hard for me and i mean i fought hard for myself i'm shattered like i'm i am the radio guy that's why we got paired together right yeah you guys were the brilliant you know podcasters you're coming from tv and you were the brilliant radio guy well no but it is that that's the dynamic that happens in radio and we were lucky that it worked how do you feel right now mitch i feel good I know I do I have to you've gone through some grief processes
Starting point is 00:03:40 the last couple of days though this feeling right now is not the feeling you have had for a couple of days yeah and if you had have caught me on the weekend
Starting point is 00:03:46 I mean we've had some dark calls I just feel so sad like I feel as though it's such a waste but it's it's the thing that gets me
Starting point is 00:03:54 and I'm it makes me so happy but angry and sad at the same time but I'm going to try and be happy because I'm going to cry but like the fact
Starting point is 00:04:01 that you could be our competition next year is so I want you to get another job and I know you someone is going to snap you up in a heartbeat and you're going to be bigger and better than you ever were but the fact that you could be competition to us is wild because i i when i
Starting point is 00:04:16 pictured my radio career i pictured us being those people that are together forever like celebrating decades together and i think we'll have to be like homing pigeons and come back full circle that's how the industry works you know that's what i was thinking i think i said this to you laura on a call like i i'm not gonna speak for you guys but i was disillusioned into thinking like that this is just going to be my forever and we are so lucky that this is our work really very privileged that we can come in and be best friends and talk and gossip and laugh and then get paid to do it right so i'm allowed into this false sense of security and i have been that i thought i was part of the furniture you know you know one thing that we did talk about
Starting point is 00:04:51 on the weekend though and like something that you guys all saw if you came to the live show mitch for years has been saying that he wants to do stand-up comedy he's been saying that that is something that he that you would just like love to do and it's been like a pipe dream but like also you're so good at it you at the live show you shone you were so amazing and everybody messages to tell us how much they loved your like your little skit that you put together yeah but like this is the opportunity right for as long as you stay doing the same thing and become institutionalized by the place that you're at like new things never can fall into they can't fall into place because your time is already so consumed you were doing the night show you were doing the pickup like you
Starting point is 00:05:31 had no free time to do these other things and i mean i feel so sad for us but i feel so excited about what 2025 looks like for you mitch and like we will be front row of that live show we will be there and if i were to reference an instagram quote in this moment it would be live love Laugh, laugh, laugh. It would be don't cry because it's over. It's Dr. Seuss. It's a season, not a reason. No, it would be that the best things come when you're pushed outside
Starting point is 00:06:00 your comfort zone and you right now are going to be pushed outside your comfort zone. Is that even an expression or is that just a sentence? Like I love you but it doesn't rhyme or anything. No, I saw it on a – it doesn't have to rhyme. It's deep. Fuck you. Why are both of your shoes off?
Starting point is 00:06:14 You're both lying here like – Mitch, get out of here. I thought you were made redundant. He's still in the building, guys. He's got three weeks left. Can I take that salary now, that sacrifice? You know what? I messaged Britt.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Hold on, quickly before we go because I'm trying to look every second I can. What did I text you on the weekend? Mitch, we have 500 messages on the weekend. No, okay. No, because I was just saying, like, you know, I don't want this to be the end because I love you guys. It really isn't. No, listen to what he said.
Starting point is 00:06:38 No, but I messaged Britt and I was like, you know, perhaps if you get invited to, like, events and you don't have, like, Keisha to take or, like, anyone to go with, Like maybe I could go with you to keep up the facade. And I was like, what fucking facade? I was like, we're actually friends, Mitch. And he's like, you know what I mean? And I'm like.
Starting point is 00:06:53 I didn't mean facade. I more meant like just to keep the show. You meant appearances, like to go to things together and hang out together. But the word facade came out and I was like, you're trying to, you make it sound like we're not friends. To keep up the facade of our friendship. Great. That's not what I meant.
Starting point is 00:07:08 I love you. And I just want to say quickly to the lifers, like I've had some beautiful messages so far. And this audience, I've been in radio a long time. And the audience I have there is amazing, but the life is a next level and there's something, like, I've never experienced before. So thank you. They are special people.
Starting point is 00:07:22 Oh, my God. Like, they're gorgeous. And the support and love and the fact that you listen and follow is amazing. So thank you to you guys for opening that audience up to me. Well, don't forget us when you're bigger and better and uber famous and in Hollywood and stuff. But also, like, yeah, like I said, this is –
Starting point is 00:07:38 No, literally, don't forget me. But like I said, you know, I feel like you guys have kind of – with this conversation, like it's, it is happening in real time for us. Like this is so, so fresh and we don't have the answers for what things look like, but we just know that there, that as much as the pickup might be different, like Life Uncut is not different and you are a part of this family and we will make sure that that is the case because we love you so much, Mitch. Anyway, you can now listen to the beautiful announcement that happened on radio this week. And then we tried to crack on with a normal radio show. The show must go on one might say,
Starting point is 00:08:09 Anyway, here it is, guys. This episode is recorded on Gavigal land of the Aurora Nation. Hi, guys, and welcome back to another episode of Life Uncut. I'm Laura. I'm Brittany. I'm Mitch. And this week on the show, it's going to be the first thing that we discuss. And if you guys haven't heard the news already, there was some very, very big news that Mitch
Starting point is 00:08:34 shared with us this week, and that was made known to us. so i'm not staying on the pickup in 2025 i'm not staying at kiss i'm not with arn um i have been made redundant my role has been um pulled um there wasn't the money to pay for me i mean that's the long and the short of it people are going to ask people are going to speculate i was told there was not the money to pay for me in the new year and after 10 years nine and a half years um i am i'm no longer staying with kiss and i wanted to my choice was to um i wanted to stay with you two girls and so did you yeah yeah we fought for you we were all shocked all sort of found out at the same time together yeah i mean you guys will hear it in the show obviously we still did the show as
Starting point is 00:09:13 per normal this week monday tuesday mitch wasn't in so it was just brit and i doing it and then on wednesday it's kind of when it all got released what came out in the press right and we like we knew what was going on behind the scenes we were kind of scrambling we were all blindsided like me and the two of you yeah completely so then it got out in the press and i was being asked and i wanted to say it in my words from my mouth on my show and we did and I think we did a great job and I didn't want to have to do it but we did. Yeah, and also like obviously the pick-up is something that we do
Starting point is 00:09:45 that's on radio and then we talk to you every week on Life Uncut. But Mitch, like you are a part of Life Uncut. Like as much as we do the pick-up, like you are part of our Life Uncut family and that's not going to change and we will figure out a way and we don't have the solutions for this yet, guys, because this is all very new to us and it's all happened like in real time but we will figure out a way that three of us still get to create content together and still get to whether it's podcast format whatever that looks like this
Starting point is 00:10:10 show the three of us still exists you know and until he's so like big for us and too famous for us and he leaves us for dust don't you fucking dare go and get another co-host i'm gonna jump to case file i'm gonna pivot to true crime no but um yeah look i mean you guys will hear the announcement that went to air but also like it's a weird one because like obviously there's like a a radio listenership but then you guys have been along this journey with us as well yeah and so we just wanted to make sure that you are made aware of what's happening and like it is a crazy thing and it's happening in real time and we're all trying to get our heads around it i just think it speaks to the industry and what is going on in radio in in the wider world where you know
Starting point is 00:10:50 someone that's there for 10 years and on a show that does well a show with great chemistry gets cut, that is the person that goes. I mean, it just, I think it's very telling. It's unprecedented times, that's for sure. But it is a Mitch-heavy show this week. I did ask Mitch a very big question live on air. It's something I've been thinking about for a little while, so
Starting point is 00:11:09 that features a bit later on. And also we just want to say how much we love you, Mitch, and how much doing this show together, how much it means to us, and we adore you. We love you. And you haven't seen the rest, the end of us. You haven't seen the rest of us? You haven't seen all of us. I actually have yeah many times too much of us i'd rather not we love you anyway let's get into the show
Starting point is 00:11:29 thanks lifers before we start the show today uh we and i have some news that um i really don't want to have to share but we have some some show news yeah some really big changes to the show yeah um so late last week i was informed by the powers that be uh at arn which is the parent company above kiss fm that um they have identified my roles and my show which is the night show i also host the night show um night times here on kiss and my position here at the pickup with you as um roles that won't be returning in 2025 so um i just want to say that it wasn't my decision um wasn't my call i really wanted to stay on this show with the two of you and i wanted to stay on the night show and i wanted to stay at arn and kiss and that i love working in radio and i love
Starting point is 00:12:26 working here i have been told that it's a at the end of the day a financial decision for the company mitch we also want to say oh no don't don't no no don't because listen the critic said that a gay man and two girls on radio wouldn't work and now we're hysterical it's not going to be good the thing is we've done the pickup together for two years now but we've co-hosted together for three years and this is not what we want for the show um it's a decision that's been made that's out of our control and you know brit and i we have to continue on doing the show without mitch and without you and we're we are utterly devastated we love what we we love what we create together we love what this show is and we still see us as a trio yeah and um yeah when we got the news as
Starting point is 00:13:11 well, we couldn't believe it. Yeah, you are not only our co-host, but you're one of our best friends. And the reason that this show has been such an amazing show is because we were not people that were put together in a room and say, do a show. We were three best friends and we still are three best friends. And I want you to know that you are by far the most talented, funniest hard-working person that I have ever come across and it I am jealous at the people
Starting point is 00:13:45 that get to work with you next and it's not us and it breaks my heart because I want you you're mine well I want you too but you know our hand has been forced um listen I am so grateful I genuinely am grateful to KISS and ARN for what they have given me over the almost decade I've been here almost a decade you know i started on the kyle and jackie o show when i was 19 and i was their barista i made their coffees and let me tell you i was a kid who dreamt to have a show like this and now i've had a show like this and now i've got way more time to dream of more dreams and head on out and doing this show and connecting to the audience that are listening now and working with you two and and having every show at the radio station i cleaned the toilets in this
Starting point is 00:14:27 building when I was 20. You know, I started here. You didn't have to do that, Mitch. Actually, I should go back to HR to discuss that. But Mitch, you are a brilliant broadcaster. And this is the biggest loss to this network. You not being here. It really is. I know. I know. Listen, it's out in the press. People are talking about it. I wanted to come out today and just say that I am done at KISS. I'm finishing up. And this is not going to be the last you hear of me. you get me go follow me on instagram right now i'm a killer for a shameless plug you know i love it wait we need to get the handle in there at mitch cheery give me a follow um but to you two to um you laura and brit you girls have such a brilliant skill of connecting to people
Starting point is 00:15:11 and to embrace me on this show like you have we've done this for three years has been a privilege and being able to come on here and laugh and have fun every day, I'm so lucky. I am. And although I don't get to choose that my next chapter isn't with you, it's not the end for us. It's not. It really won't be.
Starting point is 00:15:31 There's 100% a sequel. I hope so. I'm about the sequel. And, you know, to Grace, our executive producer, one of my best friends in the whole world, I love you more than anything. And now this is a sob session and I just want to end this and say to the listeners who have listened to this show, because let's be real, when you first heard me, I was a kid.
Starting point is 00:15:52 I was in the closet. I didn't know who I was. I was pimply. I was terrified and I was so happy to be on air and all those things still really are the same. Except I'm out of the closet now. Your skin's great now too. My skin's really good.
Starting point is 00:16:03 I have loved every moment of it. So I'm here till the end of the year. So it's all good. This isn't goodbye. This is just let's carry on. We love you so much, mate. Yeah, it's all good. For us, it doesn't feel real and I think everyone can hear
Starting point is 00:16:16 how upset we all are by this decision. It's just so not what any of us want. And we just think it is a huge loss for us. The last thing is. We will be your biggest cheerleaders no matter what you're doing forever. You are going to absolutely smash it because you are the brilliant broadcaster.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Like Mitch Turi, there will be something amazing waiting for you. Thanks, girls. I just want to add. I just want to add that Laura and I were podcasting for years, but we were brand new to radio. We were babies to radio and the person that took our hand was you from day one and you made us better at our job and you encouraged us
Starting point is 00:16:53 and you told us that we could do it when we were scared and we are who we are, a big part of our identity here at radio because of who you are, Mitch. A hundred percent. Yeah, I love you guys. Love you. And Robert Irwin's going to be great on the show with you next year. Have we announced that yet?
Starting point is 00:17:06 Oh, that's not been announced. Robert. Okay, leave it to Robert. That's tomorrow, yeah. All right. We love you. All right. Love you guys.
Starting point is 00:17:12 not only is it christmas which is my favorite time of year but my second favorite time of year coming in close hot on its tail is the list of the hottest bald men of 2024 and yes this is a scientific study this is what people are putting their money behind which is very worrying i like that you didn't even talk about the hot list in general came out a couple weeks ago didn't get a mention on this show. Let me just tell you about the list. So I want to start by saying a lot of effort goes into this list. And when I say it's science-based, there are things that they look at like facial golden ratio, voice attractiveness, and obviously things like global search interest. The thing that I love the most is they take into consideration the celebrity's cranial shine
Starting point is 00:18:01 factor. I think that's important. Also, the shape of one's head. If you're going to be bald, you got to hope that your skull is a nice shape. But when you take in the shine factor, I don't know if I want it to be shiny. Like I would probably put some powder on it and take the shine off. That's youthful. It's glowy. Anyway, just tell me who's the top of the list. I wanted to bring this to you because I'm not happy with the list at all. As somebody that has a large interest in bald men, I don't like the list. So I'm going to start at the top. Number one from the sexiest bald man in 2024 to no surprise. Can we get a drum roll? Is that too far? I do have a drum roll here. Number one. To nobody's surprise, Prince William. I would say that that
Starting point is 00:18:43 is a surprise, especially when one of the categories is shine of head, because I would say if anything, Prince William is quite wispy on top. He's still got some bum fluff. Yeah, there is no shine there. He's holding on for dear life to those last few fellas on top of his head. Number two, Dwayne The Rock Johnson. He was always going to come in, but I think he's hotter than Prince William. Prince William, let's be real. He's only number one because he's a prince. Yeah, but that makes him hot too.
Starting point is 00:19:06 I get it. Yeah, but it's not about being a prince. It's about being bald. But it's also, he was the heartthrob of our generation when we were kids though. So I understand why he's still up there. Kelly Slater, number four. He's a surfer. I get it.
Starting point is 00:19:18 You completely missed Shaquille O'Neal, but that's fine. Yeah, because we don't have time for all of them. I'm trying to do some highlights. The highlight, number six. I am sorry. Danny DeVito. Danny DeVito is not on any hot list anywhere ever. I don't know who thought that it was okay to put him in there.
Starting point is 00:19:34 This is a very interesting tidbit of this though. Danny DeVito has 13,800 searches made for naked and shirtless every year. So people out there do find Danny DeVito hot and they want to see him naked and shirtless. But I reckon there might be a rumor that he did something naked and people are just trying to find it. Did you Google search it yourself? I did. I was one of those searchers.
Starting point is 00:19:52 Did you find it? No, Vin Diesel, he made the list, but he surprisingly came in at number 10. But do you know who wasn't on this list? If I was going to add a few of my own people to this list, because I've got two that I want to add. Okay. One, Tyson Beckford. I don't even know who that is.
Starting point is 00:20:09 I have a picture ready because I knew you wouldn't know who it is. Show me. I don't know who anyone is. Even half those people you just mentioned, I was like, let's talk about Shaquille O'Neal. I know he's like, ah, hello. I know. He's a beautiful model. I think he used to be a model on like America's Next Top Model.
Starting point is 00:20:22 then he became a judge, then he's just so hot. I disagree. He's not actually bald. He just has a shaved head, which means he does not meet the criteria for bald men. No. You can't be opting bald. I'm putting him in.
Starting point is 00:20:32 Sorry, Danny DeVito's in there. All right, what's your second one? Jason Statham. Yeah, great. I think he belongs on the list. Britt, I need you to explain to me why you care so much about a bald man list more than anything and why you've gone so far as to consider additional people.
Starting point is 00:20:47 Because the thing that got me was I love to look at these lists, but I was a bit up in arms about the people they included and I don't think it's fair to the other hot, bald people. Do you know what makes Jason so hot? Is that he was also like an Olympic diver. No one can. I'm just trying to make it hotter. All right, well, what have you got?
Starting point is 00:21:08 What are you bringing to the show? We can riot for the bald men. And also, if anything, the bald men out there, they need this sort of validation. Thank you. If anything, they've been waiting for Brittany Hockley to wave the flag for the hottest bald man out there. Now, you might have heard that recently Channing Tatum
Starting point is 00:21:27 has gone through a terrible breakup from Zoe Kravitz. I think there were a lot of happy people around the world. Why? Well, because he's so many people's crush and hall pass and everyone wants to hope that there's this little bit of chance left with him. And so when he was taken off the market, everyone was like, damn it, but now he's back.
Starting point is 00:21:43 I feel like he was your hall pass for a while, wasn't he? I did super like him on Raya, yeah. I actually on the dating app. Yeah, we had a thing there for a while. I forgot. He doesn't know we had a thing. Anyway, what about Chang Tate? He's back on the market.
Starting point is 00:21:58 He's back on the market, but everyone was talking about, because he was apparently really, really in love with Zoe Kravitz and he had been pining over her for a long time prior to them even being together. And everyone kind of said that when he very first came out of this breakup, he was going through like the sad Affleck phase, you know, like Ben Affleck, how he was like photographed with that terrible tattoo and everyone was like, God, he was so sad after he broke up
Starting point is 00:22:20 with Jennifer Lopez the first time. It's also so sad in itself that Ben Affleck is notoriously known for just being sad. He's the sad Affleck. Because he constantly breaks up with the same person. Well, he's gone through that phase, but now Al Channing Tatum has made it out alive. He's at a new phase of grief when it comes to the breakup process
Starting point is 00:22:39 and that is he has made it to thirst trap phase where you are acknowledging that you have been broken up with, that you are on your own and you're putting yourself back out there so that everyone knows you're single and you're virile. Show me virile? How old are you? I think the thing is single and ready to mingle. Channing Tatum, you heard it here first.
Starting point is 00:22:58 He's virile. Show me the thirst trap. Okay. I'm in two minds about it. So he posted a shirtless photo of himself. Oh, that is the thirst trap. Yeah. Wait for it.
Starting point is 00:23:09 No, sorry. You can see his face with a beanie on it. And his hot neck. And then not even a whole neck. Like you can see about an inch of his trap. Yeah, but it's not that. It's that he's there saying he's back at the gym and it's kind of the context of what the stories was.
Starting point is 00:23:23 So he was up early in the morning and he was working out and getting all sweaty and then he was like the only thing about a really like big early morning workout is when it's finished. That was what the post was and everyone's saying it's a thirst trap. People are pretty thirsty and dehydrated if that's a thirst trap. Like you've been in the desert a long time if this is what's doing it for you. Britt, what were your thirst traps like? Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:45 I still do them. I still thirst trap for my fiance. So I just, he needs to keep thirsty as well. When I went through my breakup with my ex, I thought I was going to marry my ex. Luckily, I didn't because I'm also getting married now to someone I love very much. I put a photo up on my Instagram. That was me. I went to Thailand on holiday.
Starting point is 00:24:01 I was in a bikini, quite small, and I was walking away into like the sunset and you could see my whole booty and my whole shape. And my caption was literally, tell me you're single without telling me you're single. That's what I wrote, which is funny because I was telling you I'm single and that was it. And I was thirsty and I was back. I did it because I think it's important. Online now, it's a dating app. Instagram is used as a dating app. It's like a CV for your job, whatever it is. So it's like if people know you've been in a relationship and you're off the market for a year, two years, whatever, that is a way to let people know I'm back. And I think when you've
Starting point is 00:24:34 been in a relationship and you don't post certain things, when all of a sudden you're like, here I am, it's letting everyone know I'm sliding to my DM. I was never the thirst trapper. I just used to be the sad Instagram quote girl. I'd be like, if you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me. I'm in a bikini and Laura was like, live, laugh, love, know your worth forever. If you guys start seeing me posting Instagram quotes, you know that Matt and I have separated. It's not good in my world. Well, I'm still in a bikini all the time. It doesn't mean anything. You guys know I'm getting married next year in 2025.
