Hi guys and welcome back to another episode of Life Uncut. I'm Laura. I'm Brittany. I'm Mitch. And this is The Pick Up where we package up all the best bits

of our radio show throughout the week and we bring them here to you on a Sunday to get you through the last bit of your weekend. Yeah. What a great week we had. We had some great – oh, Charlotte Crosby. We spoke to Charlotte Crosby. You guys might remember she was like the OG of Geordie Shore. I had to stop myself because, like, obviously radio timeframes,

like, you know, our show's on at 3 o'clock in the afternoon so you can't say things that are too inappropriate. I will never forget the episode where she talked about having the clap. That was the first time I'd ever heard anyone on like actual TV talk about things like this. You know, this chick is wild and amazing. She turned into such a superstar because I feel like she really set the tone. She was one of the first people from reality TV to be so open

and unfiltered and raw. Like we didn't see it back then. We saw these curated people that were like, I'm going to present this is who I am to the world. and she was the first person to just be like raw open say it how it is and we see that everywhere on reality tv now but she set the scene so we're doing the aussie version now of geordie shaw it's called aussie shaw so she's come to host it callum from my season of i'm a celebrity get me out of here he's one of the contestants and apparently it's like freaking insane well one of the things

i like about this as well is like when you are someone who is a big character on something like a reality tv show or or anything like you know you might do or say things even us brits sometimes there's things that have been written about us in media and people will say oh how do you think your daughters are going to feel when they're older reading this about you and i think charlotte crosby is like the perfect example of this like she's now a mom she's in a very different phase of life but she once had a very like wild and public life that she lived through reality tv and there's no shame and there's no shame and the way she speaks about it is so great so that is an amazing chat then we also talked about a story which i found fascinating and i'd love to know

what you guys would do what would you do if you found out that your husband's dad who's been in a relationship for 35 years with your husband's wife um with your husband's wife that was weird with your husband's mom like their parents are happily married had a dating app on his phone and you thought he might be cheating on her what would you do i see here's the thing i also think it's it's not close-minded but it's very one thought to think cheating because so many couples are open these days and a lot of couples have arrangements so they have apps that's very true We do get into it. It was an open question that we unpack in the show.

I forget we've already had the conversation. Did you love the how I'm about to do it? You can still unpack it now if you want, Midge. Do you want to do sound effects? Let's do Ask Uncut live. Ask Midge. But you know what's funny? I didn't even have that thought when we did it on the radio.

I just had it now. I brought the thought when we did it on the radio show. You're Keisha, right? Yeah, I'm Keisha Pettit. I forget. Welcome back to the group. You said Pettit. I thought it was Keisha Petit.

Every time you call her Keisha Petit, I used to think that you would joke. I thought you would say Keisha Petit as, like, a joke. Did you think it was Keisha Pettit? I wonder why everyone was laughing. Did you honestly think it was? I thought it was Keisha Petit because she's so petite. But you don't know that when you're born. Like, you don't know.

Do you think my name's Laura Byrne because I've got a burning rash? I've said it to her and she hasn't called me out. We also, change of pace, it's really interesting what I bring on this show versus what you guys bring. You bring in the star, Charlotte Crosby, huge. Laura's talking about this bold cheating scandal. I'm bringing the Dua Lipa pickle coke, which is a viral drink. Really satiates thirst.

Dua Lipa pop star has championed it on TikTok. It's her recipe. If you're not across it, jalapeno juice, pickle juice, pickles, Diet Coke. Will it taste good? The girls and I try it and that's all on the show. Let's get into it. Our next guest is an icon. Truly gives us gold television any time she appears.

So funny. You'll know her from the breakout star on Geordie Shore, the most popular show in MTV history. She was only 18 at the time. That show was so wild. Yeah. So wild. They've gone, you know what, Geordie Shore, crazy.

You know what's even more insane? The Aussie Shore. So they've created a brand new series, Aussie Shore. It's streaming on Paramount+. Now, the queen of MTV and the Shore, it is Charlotte Crosby. Welcome to The Picker. Hello. Hello.

Charlotte, so nice to speak to you. I, straight out of the gate, want to know, how do the Aussies compare to Geordie Shore? Because I always feel like, could you get more outrageous than Geordie Shore was? obviously i was there so i lived it but i watched the episodes the other day because there was lots of it that i didn't get to see because obviously i only come into the house at a certain point in the day so i don't see the wild wild of ozzy shore so i watched the show right yeah five episodes of

the show and i was so taken aback that i actually went to re-watch geordie short to see if we were ever that wild and when I watched Geordie Shore it was like watching paint dry no I don't believe it for two seconds I have such vivid memories of watching Geordie Shore back in the day and I was like wild absolutely thoroughly enjoyed it so amazing so entertaining but it was wild no no no no no we're but we're boring I don't know who created this new generation but they were created by, like, the reality TV gods. Oh, what they give good TV. Charlotte, I recently went into the I'm a Celebrity Jungle

and I was in there with none other than Callum Hull, who I know is now a member of Aussie Shore. Yes, yes, Callum, yes. I love him, but he's wild in the jungle and that was, I don't think the jungle would even compare. What was he like in terms of wildness? He was, he was wild. Do you know, Callum reminds us very much of Scotty T.

Oh, yeah. Uh-huh. Like, it reminds us very much of Scottie Tate. So, listen, he was wild, but I've got to say that other castmates were wilder than Colin. Oh, wow. That's saying a lot to you. Maybe he was being a bit reserved, though.

But, Charlotte, you're in a whole different phase of life now because, I mean, even though you've come back to do this show, you, once upon a time, were obviously a participant. You were getting down and amongst it. Now you're a mum and you're in a very, very different and I would say probably more wholesome phase of life. what's it like looking back on that period or even seeing it you know with the Aussie contestants play out do you ever look back and go oh my god I can't believe I did that I can't believe I said

that or is it just a different time so when I was there it just felt so nostalgic so every single thing that I watched them do so like even like when they arrived into the house for the first time and I get I get all these perks right I get to watch in the gallery like they're riding like I'm I'm kind of like like a little bit of an extra producer not that I see anything but like I'm sat with the producers watching things and reading the story notes what happened the night before reading everything before I go in and honestly everything felt so nostalgic it brought back so many memories but crystal clear memories there where it was so nice to be able to like feel and relive them but not actually reliving them when i watched it i did kind of watch with

my hands like this like oh my god did we actually do that like no um hey we're gonna play a game with you charlotte um if you're just joining us charlotte crosby's here aussie shore now streaming on Paramount+. As we said, lots of press written about you, your iconic television, lots of articles. What we've done is we've gone through the headlines written about Charlotte Crosby. We've found some of the great ones.

We've also made up some. We're going to give you the headline and it's your job to work out whether or not it's a real headline or it's a headline and we've made it up. Are you down to play? Okay. Yeah. All right.

She's so down. I love that about Charlotte. She's like, I'll tell you the truth. I'll tell you everything. I'm so ready. I'm so ready for it. I can't lie. Headlines.

Yeah, headlines are some stories in the press written about our guest, which is Charlotte Crosby, famed from Geordie Shore, of course, now in the Aussie version, Aussie Shore. We found some articles, some are real girls, some are fake. What we love the most about Charlotte is just how unfiltered she is. Now, okay, is this a headline? And if it is, is it true? And what happened?

I had a raging and aggressive camel toe. Outrageous reality star Charlotte Crosby reveals her crutch needed to be edited after appearing on Studio 10. That's true. Oh, it's true. What do you mean it's true? How did they edit it? I remember the exact photo.

I was in some leather pants and the camel toe was raging. And I literally could not have posted that photo if I didn't like physically Photoshop like a different vagina onto mine. Did you draw attention to this? Were you like, hey, sorry, guys, I've had to Photoshop my flaps? Or was it someone pointed out that the photo looked Photoshopped? I think I actually did a video where, do you know where you record screen and you can press before and after?

Yes, yes. So the camel toe like flashes up like this. Because we've got the before and after. We're looking at the photo, Charlotte, but I think you went a bit extreme. You're giving Barbie vibes. There's not even a crease. It doesn't look like you have any genitalia there. Okay, next headline.

Reality TV star Charlotte Crosby reveals she's naming her second baby after Australian icon? Right, well, that's not true. Oh, damn it. What a shame. I thought you were going to name it Brittany. Who would the Australian icon be? Me, Brittany.

Opera House, Crosby? I don't know, like Harbour Bridge? Harbour. Harbour. Harbour. That is cute. Harbour's a really nice name. How has that never come about before?

Harbour. Harbour is cute. Harbour. Alba and Harbour. Alba and Harbour is actually gorgeous. Do you have a name picked? No, but I'm going to write Harbour in there because Harbour's quite nice. I don't think anyone's ever thought about Harbour.

I actually think we're onto something here. Harbour's gorgeous. Harbour. Yeah. I actually like it for a boy, Harbour. Harbour, yeah. It could be either. Well, Bindi's an Australian icon, like Bindi Irwin.

That's a cute name. That is cute. Oh, no, that's Harper. Oh, she's still on Harbour. She thought we were saying Harbour. No, Harbour. We're saying Harbour. Yeah.

It's in the bridge Another article, Charlotte Is this real or is this fake? Charlotte Crosby reveals a secret group chat With other Australian celebrities Oh yes, that's true But it's not a secret Yeah, I mean

What's going down in this group chat? It's with the Australian campmates And it's called Brob Because when we were in the Australian jungle I don't know whether you Do you know when you Oh no, it wasn't the Australian jungle It was the South African jungle

When the monkeys made this noise that they made, it sounded like they were saying, Brob! Did you hear that, Brie? We had a lot of monkeys, but they weren't giving Brob. What were they giving? They weren't giving Brob, but were they giving Hobber? Yeah.

Who do you reckon, if you text that group chat right now, who do you reckon would be the first person to respond? Dale. Who? Who's Dale? Who's Dale? Dale? Dale was an AFL player.

Is that what you call it? Oh, there you go. Oh, yeah. Wasn't familiar. And then I tell you who else would reply back fast. Miguel. Oh, yeah. Miguel's a legend.

He's on it. Yeah, celebrity chef. Me and Miguel speak all of the time. The problem is you have to kind of decipher what he's saying. He's always so excitable that you're like, what? Well, it's easy on text, but voice note would be a mess for Miguel. No, no, no. Thanks.

Just text me, mate. Charlotte Crosby, we adore you. It is streaming now on Paramount Plus, Aussie Shore. Shore to be very, very dramatic. Oh, I see what you did there. Thank you so much. Can't wait for Harbour to be brought into this world, Charlotte. Harbour!

I have to really seriously think about Harbour, you know. Like, it's going to be playing on my mind until tomorrow. Get this. You know, Brit and Laura, we all know. You're listening. You've got jobs. You know that your bosses can sift through your search history. They can check your Teams chat.

They can check your Slack. They can check what you're searching. And you kind of think they can do it, but you just don't think they do do it. But you usually think surely they've got better things to do, Like running businesses and managing people. Well, that's probably half of running a business. Yeah. Turns out this video, which I'm about to play you,

has shocked me and the whole world. This 26-year-old has posted a video to TikTok venting he's fired, lost his job because his employer went through his search history on his work computer, the things that he was searching while he was at work. I'm going to play the video for you because you have to just hear the things that he was searching because it wasn't like, you know, when to get dinner and, you know, restaurant bookings near me.

Like he wasn't trying to plan for after work. he was googling some really weird things listen to this so i got sacked today guys the reason why i got sacked was um my search history apparently they had 50 hours worth of search history which was printed out on a piece of paper for me and these things included simon cowell botched botox does turkey teeth hurt what are the top 10 superfoods for maintaining mental health so stupid why do you care enough about simon cowell's botox but my thing is you must be so checked out of work if that's the level of search that you're doing like if you're like the thought comes to your head you're like oh i wonder what simon cowell looks like now and you go and search

it on your work computer like his bosses knew he was doing absolutely nothing and they just needed proof of that i know that people know that bosses can look at their search histories but you do assume that they're never going to you do think that they're too busy to ever check in on that sort of stuff um but i guess that this is the reality is that they actually could clear your search histories everyone remember to do that but it's the same as email it's like i i've bitched gossiped on email at work no this is why i don't use any work computers and i don't use any work email chains i get everything sent to my personal email yeah see that's smart so no one can read it plot twist though this poor kid he's 26 he posted the tick tock he made a quick buck he made 450

pounds however he then realized that oh my god i've actually out of myself for being a terrible worker so now he can't get a job so then he posted this second tick tock somebody might be aware yeah I lost my job a month ago through my own doing. I was sacked and I put it on social media. One thing I've learned from doing that is digital footprint is a thing. I applied for three office jobs and I got turned down for all three of them purely for the fact they had seen that TikTok of me getting sacked. The reason why I haven't privated it is because it was making me a little bit of income when I first got sacked. A consequence of me doing this has meant that I've had to do a complete 360 turn in terms of my own career and I'm now doing something that I never

ever thought in a million years that I'd be doing but unfortunately I just couldn't go back into office work so soon. So now he's shown himself in the foot. No but it makes sense though he sounds like an absolute idiot the thing is it's like he just sounds like a kid. He does no but he's 26. He's old enough. Yeah didn't you see the recent report Laura that said youth don't think adulthood starts until 27 or 28 now. I agree. I don't agree like I think we have a little bit more understanding about our digital footprints and like if you're putting out there on your TikTok and you're oversharing, you're saying you're a terrible employee,

most people are Googling the people that they're employing. Like most people would look up their social media. Wait, you Google your new hires? Everyone does. Yeah. I check their LinkedIn. I check and see if they've got socials. Like I don't know if you're supposed to.

Don't come for me if you're not. But yeah, if people have a digital footprint, I'm going to find it. Laura, what do you, because you run Tony May, the super successful jewellery conglomerate. Thank you. Thank you so much. So what do you Google?

Say, for example, it's Mitch Turi. You go Mitch Turi. I just type the name in. No, nothing. I'll just type in Mitch Jury. And I'm sure lovely, pleasant articles come up about you. Mitch would never get a job. If the TikTok came up where you were slagging off your old employees

and laughing about the fact that you spent 50 hours of work time Googling Simon Cowell's botched Botox. Yeah, but in his defense, he has grown up in front of our eyes because now he's doing a TikTok educating people on your social footprint, saying, hey, I have learned a valuable lesson that this counts and this is there forever, so be good. And even though, so he's deleted that first video now, but it's still on the internet.

Like, you know, articles have screen recorded it. It's still accessible. So he's never going to escape it. Girls, Laura, I've got happy news. Happy ending. William is now employed as a supply chain coordinator in the food industry. Good on him.

He's passionate about creating content. So he's no longer online. They've kept him away from a laptop. He's packing burgers. Hey, I've got a bit of a heavier conversation for you guys today. And it's something that I think every parent, it would be every parent's worst nightmare to find out or to see your child choking on something.

And I think there will be so many people who are listening to this who have maybe had a scare or had that fear happen to them. But this story, I mean, picture this. Imagine walking through a park and seeing a family sitting down, having a picnic, eating their lunch, and then realising that there's this bit of commotion and there's a little baby there. That baby has eaten some sausage and has started to choke out in public

and is not breathing. Makes me anxious just to hear it. It's horrifying. And I say this because as a mum, I've got two kids, I don't think I know what to do. I wouldn't know what to do in that situation. Like genuinely, I don't know how I would react. And the normal reaction is panic.

Fear, absolute fear. You're so right. Well, this happened. So Nurse Heidi Young, thank God she was there at the time and she was the one who saw this happening. We actually have Heidi on the line. Heidi, welcome to The Pickup. Hi, Heidi.

Hi, hi. Nice to meet you all. Can you just let us know, like, what happened that day when you were there and that child was choking? What was happening and how were you able to step in at that time? So we were at a barbecue in a park in Sydney with some friends and actually this person was also at the same barbecue, but we just didn't know them.

And just to my left I could see the mum just sort of stood up and started banging the little girl on the back quite hard and quite quickly, but kind of not with any strategy. And I could see the baby was quite young. She was only about six months old. So I just grabbed her, and it looked like she had a complete blockage. And I just started straight away with the back slap, between the shoulder blades, slightly head down, like the way we do it.

And you actually shouldn't do it too quick. You need to give them a second in between each one to see if they can bring it up. And I did the five back slaps, which is what you do. And then I was going to turn her over and start the next phase, which is horrible, which no one wants to have to do, which is the chest thrust. And just as I went to turn her around, she just had a massive vomit, which was great.

Enough to bring it up. The best thing, and then she starts screaming. Just so people actually know when you're saying, like, we do the back slaps, actually talk us through it so people right now know if that happens exactly what you do. Yeah, so you put the baby over your lap face down, put your hands around their sort of chin as if when you're burping a newborn baby,

you sort of support their head. so slightly face down letting gravity do its thing use the heel of your hand between their shoulder blades and you do a really firm uh back flow or back flap and then you stop for a second turn the head to see if they've brought it up because sometimes they bring it up in their mouth if it's not come up after a few seconds another one turn the head check then you do five in a row and after the five if they've still not brought anything up and they're still struggling or and they're making a noise in their breathing, you turn them over and you start the chest thrust.

And that's two fingers or one hand. Press short, sharp between the nipples, down about a third of the depth of the chest. And you, again, give it a couple of seconds between each one to see if they can clear the airway. After the first round of back thrust and chest thrust, you should call the ambulance. Honestly, I would just call the ambulance straight away.

Yeah. And if at any point they fall unconscious because of a complete blockage, you start CPR. You started your business after this. So you started the Ness Kids CPR and Allergy. I can only imagine that an experience like that is life-changing for everyone who's involved. How important do you think it is as parents that this is something

that we're doing? I mean, it's super important. It just blows my mind that people get, you know, there's so much out there about giving birth, you know, like the build-up of months and months of education to do something that, you know, that takes two days if you're unlucky. But, you know, CPR is something that you'd need ongoing and there's just no, like,

it should be part of the antenatal classes, I think. It should just be as standard because you don't need it unless you really need it and it's right on top of you. And all the first aid certificate courses, you know, but the ones that people have to have, like work... None of them are focused on babies. I mean, we do them as well for workplaces

and none of them are focused on babies and that's why I started the baby first aid side of things where it's completely baby and child focused. I think if you have the time, go and have a look at what the NEST Kids CPR and Allergy team are doing. Such a pleasure having you on the show. Heidi, thank you for being here. Thanks, Heidi.

Thanks, Heidi. Thank you. Bye. Girls, you know Dua Lipa. We were talking about her before. Yes, we were. We love her. Queen.

Oh, she's Albanian, is she? I didn't know that. Well, you know now. Yeah. You know what else? She was from Armenia. No. Common misconception, Laura.

What else? I have seen the viral drink that she's been drinking that she's telling everyone to get amongst and it looks absolutely disgusting. Yeah, we were discussing it earlier in the show and we tasked our producer, Grace, to run down and get all the ingredients and she's done just that.

So the Dua Lipa Pickle Coke, ladies and gentlemen, we will now try for the first time live on air. If you're missing it, Dua Lipa posted to TikTok saying, I love this drink. It's my daily drink. Diet Coke, fresh jalapenos, jalapeno juice, and then pickles. And pickle juice.

Or no pickle juice. Just straight pickle. We'll do a bit of everything. A bit of everything. So you've got to, I can smell the pickles in the room. I individually love all of these ingredients. Like I like Diet Coke. I love pickles.

I love jalapenos. Do I love them mixed together? Who knows? Mitch is currently pouring in. That's a Coke. I do love all of these ingredients, but I'm not convinced. I don't like a Bloody Mary, so I'm not convinced I'm going to like them all together. You don't like a Bloody Mary?

Hate it. Love it. Detests it. Nah, Bloody Mary's my favorite costume. It's such a great excuse to have a drink in the morning. But I am the person that will take people's pickles off their burgers to eat them. Yeah, I agree. All right, Diet Coke in the glass.

I'm now adding like three to five jalapenos. That's what Dua did. That's a lot. No, I love it spicy. I've always said, what did Dua do? Hey, you know the thing you wanted to do? Do it. Okay.

Did Dua do it? Dua did it. Okay. Dua now? No, don't talk about Dua. No, I think Didi did it. Focus on what you're doing. It's you putting too many jalapenos in.

All right, now I'm adding the jalapeno juice. Now the pickles are going in. Throw a couple of those bad boys in. How many pickles are we putting in? Two per cup. Okay. And then I'll do a bit of pick juice. How many pickles did Peter pick is the real question.

We don't have time for games. We do have time to try this, though. Oh, he's pouring it in. It's going all over my crotch. You would love that. All right, here we go. You're making your own pickle. Cock-a-doodle-doo.

Here we go. In the words of Dua Lipa, catch me before I go, Houdini. Here we go, girl. Oh, it's... Don't smell it. Don't, it burns your nostril. Yeah, don't smell it. It smells very vinegary.

No, it actually burnt my nose. All right, cheers, guys. Let's go. Cheers. Ow. It's burning my nose hair. Oh, I like it. I think you put...

No, it's like sparkled straight into my eyes. Laura's got jalapeno in her eyeball. Just so the world's across, Laura's upset with the carbonation of the coke. Not the jalapenos. No, it's spicy carbonated drink that went straight into my eyes and into my throat. If you put your mouth up to it and you suck the air in,

just suck the air in, it burns your throat. My eyes. Did you get it? My eyes. Oh, my God, those bubbles are filled. I can't see. I can see Queen Mary. I don't get it.

Elizabeth's back from the dead. The spice in your eyes is not a vibe. It's not for me. Okay, ready? I'm going to go. I haven't even tried it yet because I got pepper sprayed Let me tell you, Dua didn't do it. Dua didn't do it.

Nah. The flavor's good. All right, may I keep drinking? If it had ice, I could do this. Oh, it's the ice. It's official. Dua didn't do it. If I keep my eyes closed and I don't breathe in the flames.

Do you know what it tastes like? It's good. It's good. I like it. It tastes like if you go to McDonald's and you've accidentally spilt your post-mixed Coke onto your burger and then you eat your burger. It does taste very McDonald-y. Although, Britt, you made us once eat ice cream and tomato sauce,

and let me tell you, I would drink this every day over that horrible concoction. That's because I accidentally gave you tomato sauce that was off by, like, two years. Guys, I don't hate this. I've drunk worse things than this. I think this is enough. It's all over my crotch.

I need to leave. This is something you probably don't know, but Britt and I, we've been friends for many, many years, and something happened during COVID that meant that I moved out of my, well, no, I mean, it wasn't a big, like, something happened, But basically, I moved out of my old apartment that I used to live in with my husband, Matt, my two girls. And it was during a time when it was quite hard to move around and get a new place.

And so conveniently, at that time, Brit was also looking for a new place to live. And so Brit now lives in my old apartment, right? That's how close this family is. And Brit's been there now for, how long have you been there for? Two years. Two years. Yeah, two. Must be nice.

Two long years. Two years. Yeah. Right. Okay. So yesterday I received a phone call. I received a bill that I hadn't paid. It had gone unpaid for a little while. And usually because Matt and I, my husband and I, we have separate bank accounts. So often he will pay things from his bank account and I'll pay things from mine. And just so long as it's covered, it's covered, right? So I get this call from Origin

saying that I had to pay my gas bill. Origin Energy, yeah. Yeah. And I mentioned to Matt on the phone, I was like, hey, honey, I'll fix up the Origin gas bill that we owe and you don't have to worry about it because they've been chasing me. And he goes, what do you mean? We're not with Origin, we're with Energy Australia. And I was like, no, we're with Origin. And he goes, we're definitely not.

I pay the bills and we're with Energy Australia. And I was like, well, that's, let me look into this. Brittany, for the past two years, I have been paying your gas bill, it turns out. What? I have been paying the gas bill for your apartment and I did not realise because I thought I was paying my own gas bill. But I also pay a gas bill for my apartment.

Show me the receipts because you owe me $1,800. Hang on a second. Oh, dear. How is you not being across your bills my fault? Because you've been getting free gas. So you still owe me. It's at a very good price. It was negotiated years ago.

I don't believe this. Here it is. Actually, do you know what? I know Laura's personality. I do believe that this is something that Laura could 100% do. No, this was a mistake. Brittany, do you pay your gas bill? Obviously it's a mistake, Laura.

There's no way you would offer to pay my gas for two years. Laura, I actually think the problem is you never cancelled the gas in your name. No. So we had our electricity and our gas with Origin. So when we called up, I just assumed that everything had been cancelled. And so when we kept getting the bills, I thought Matt had transferred it to our new house. So it's Matt's fault. We've moved two times.

Yeah, she actually told Marlee May, the seven-year-old, and it's her fault. I'm going to have to go look into that because I know I have a monthly direct debit for my electricity and I've always had electricity and gas together. I'm with AGL, so we're really promoting the gas people here, the electricity people. That is so interesting because I also pay monthly.

So there's a potential that we've been double paying for two years then. I would love for you to check because otherwise I will send you the invoice and I will send it to Matt. Do you think? He pays the bills and you know how they work. He'll just pay it. It does make you think, though, how many people have things

like Netflix subscriptions or, like, apps on their phone. Yeah. They're just because, like, it's an automatic deduction and then you realise actually you're paying for Netflix for your ex-boyfriend. Okay, so I have Stan, love Stan, and I gave my ex's mum and stepdad my Stan login. Anyway, I noticed my Stan was more expensive than usual

and I went, God, I didn't realise Stan had a price increase. No, no, no. And we'd been broken up for almost two years. I went on recently, it was in front of my friend, No, Producer Grace, my ex's stepdad has added the sports bundle to my stand. Your ex's stepdad? And I've been paying an extra $5 a month on my stand so he can watch the bloody Olympics.

You don't even like sports. I hate sports. I'm gay. I want to watch RuPaul's Drag Race. Mitch, there's a lot of gay athletes. Don't you put them in that box. True. But I don't understand why you even still let your ex use your stand.

That's on you. I didn't realise. I didn't know. Rubbish. I didn't know. Two years. What is wrong with you two? Yeah.

Yeah, we are the problem. The problems here are you. It's not the other people that are taking advantage of you. It's you. Hopefully, Origin refunds me or you can, Britt. One of the two. I hope you were warm through winter, Britt. I hope you were warm.

I think a real friend here would give that as a gift. Britt and Laura, you know that at the best of times, I'm a little health anxious. I've got health anxiety. And, you know, normally I love to tell a joke and love to be funny, but I have a brain condition, which I've spoken about on this show, and I've had listeners message me. I've actually, it's beautiful.

I have a condition called Chiari malformation and it's congenital. You're born with it. The base of my brain, the cerebellum, is falling through my spinal cord, blocking the flow of brain fluid. It ruins my central nervous system. It's a whole thing.

I've had mothers of kids that have this condition message me and go, I heard you picking up the girls and they've got this condition. Thank you for talking about it. And they were so excited to hear it in the car because their neurosurgeon goes, it's a rare condition.

No one has it. And then they get in the car and they hear it. Well, it's also nice to see that somebody that, When you're told that your child is born with something, you automatically think the worst is going to happen even though you hope for the best. So it's nice to be like, look at this normal, successful person that's living with this.

Totally. But something that I wanted to talk about was the, I don't know how to even explain it. My neurologist calls it wearable anxiety. We all have Apple Watches. We even now have smart rings. You've got a whoop. Oh, I've got a whoop on me right now.

Is it called an aura? The one that people wear. It's like a ring. Yeah. That looks lovely. They're cool, but they monitor blood pressure. Not blood, oxygen. They monitor heart rate.

They can monitor atrial fibrillation. They can do temperature. They can do everything. And I've realised in the last few weeks that my Apple Watch that I wear every day is causing me way more harm than good. My anxiety through the roof. I wake up and I have like a routine. I check what my heart rate was while I slept.

I check my blood oxygen. I make sure my temperature's okay. I could even do an ECG on my wrist that checks for... Oh, no. No, I know. I know. And I was telling my neurosurgeon this. Like, I've got this and I've got this and I've got this.

And he went, you've got wearable anxiety. they have seen they think people that wear wearables up to 55 percent of people that wear like an apple watch or a ring have health anxiety purely because of it i understand it for people who are like high performance athletes who need to track what they're doing and they're like you know they're counting their macros and their micros and all that sort of stuff but for the average person like i don't need to know exactly how many steps i've done every day i don't need to know how many hours or minutes of sleep i've gotten and also i think it almost sets you up for like if you firstly if you think you've had a good night's sleep and then your watch tells you you

haven't, you probably feel more tired. But on the flip side, I know when I've had a terrible night sleep because I'm up with the kids and it tells me I've had a decent night's sleep and then I feel gaslit. How dare you? I like them. I think it's just for the right person and the right type of technology. So I think for a lot of people, it's super motivating. People want to know the steps that they've gotten because they're like, oh, I haven't hit what I should be for my baseline. I'm going to go do some more. But I think for someone like you, Midge, you need to do what I do. So I wear the the whoop which doesn't have a screen so it doesn't so for me i would get the anxiety around constantly getting notifications on my wrist that there's a message that there's an

email that i haven't walked enough that i have like the constant i couldn't deal with it but i think for you this could be really great there's no screen there's no alerts you forget about it until the the morning that you wake up and you're like oh i checked my sleep check my heart rate get on with the day yeah i actually think if you've got an apple watch pair back your notifications You can go into settings. I do the same thing. I was getting Snapchat notifications. My mum added to her story.

Ping, ping, ping. I was getting news headlines. I was getting time to stand. I was getting drink more water from my water app. It's too much. It's overloading and it trains your brain. You know what else it does? It like discourages self-management.

So it makes you rely on the results from the watch. And then it actually stops me from implementing strategies to make myself actually feel better. I'm like, oh, well, the watch is telling me this. So I'll listen to what the watch says. It's also like, yeah, why didn't you turn up to that really important meeting? Oh, sorry, my Apple Watch didn't tell me to. You still have to look after your own life. No, you have to keep calendar notifications on

because then you'll miss the meeting. So please be very careful. But just try. Here's my tip. If you're listening to this and you've got an Apple Watch or any wearable, take it off for a day or a week and just see how you feel. See if it makes you feel better.

I don't want to see you with that on ever again. I've got bare wrists. Look at my rooty-nooty wrists. Oh, wow. We'll post a photo to the pickup socials. Put something on it. It's gorgeous. There's too much wrist for me.

What would you do if you found out that your father-in-law or you had a sneaking suspicion that your father-in-law was having an affair. With whom? Drama. Who knows? What do you find? Like panties in the bed or something?

No, okay, so hear this out. Hear this out. All right, there's a woman who was on her father-in-law's phone. Now, he's been married for 35 years. They are happily married. They are the picture-perfect couple. Happily, asterisk? No, happily.

Well, it's got to be an asterisk. He's cheating on her. Well, apparently. Add the asterisk. So this woman was on her father-in-law's phone and she was installing something on there, a new app, some sort of like security wear, whatever. Spy wear.

She's quite techie, quite a techie young thing. Yeah. And she saw that there was a, well, she saw that there was like, you know when you can hide apps and you can hide things? Yeah. So somehow she was in an area where you can hide apps on your phone, right? Anyway, she finds that the dad has a dating app downloaded and is in his phone.

Wow. What do you do in this situation? If you find out that your father-in-law, married 35 years, has dating apps hidden on his phone? Do you tell your husband? Do you tell the father-in-law that you know? Do you tell the wife? Do you get involved?

Well, everyone, don't jump at me at once. Laura, you're sorry. You just posed a humongous question to us. We're just giving you a second to think about it. Blow it up. I think I'd probably be like, hey, I'm just running some storage checks on your phone. Do you want me to delete these apps that you don't use,

like the dating app that you've got here? No, no. I'd see what he says. I like that group, but I'd play mind games. I'd be like, God, this fire needs a bit more tinder. And I'd look at him. Or I'd go, there's a bee out there. Bumble.

Listen to it bumble. Hey, have you caught plenty of fish lately? Oh, that was good. I've got a friend at work. He's a Christian. He's mingling. Is that mingle? Hey, do you guys like your coffee grinder?

Or ground? The worst one. But yeah, that's what we'd do. Why? What happened? Did she confront? Is this real? This is the big question.

This is the conundrum. She's asking for help because she doesn't know what to do and feels like she's uncovered a family secret. For example, maybe he's having an affair or alternatively, maybe the 35-year marriage is also very happy because they're swingers and they're having an open relationship. That's also a possibility. Imagine uncovering that your parents are having an open relationship.

An app is not hidden if you're in an open relationship. But it might be hidden because you don't want your kids to see it for that reason. You know, you don't want anyone else to know that you're in an open relationship. I think stay out, because my family, the Cheery family, had a family mystery that now we all know about, and it's ruined it. A family secret? Family secret.

Yeah, I've got one too. I think I've spoken about it on the show before. Oh, I know what it is. I'm Cheery, Mitch Cheery, C-H-U-R-I. What was your old last name, Mitch? Chowrie. Mitch Chowrie. Like chowder.

With a K, K-H-O-U-R-I-E, Chowrie, Chowrie. Your whole name got changed. I had a great, great, great, great, great grandfather. Didn't know him. Wasn't born. He killed someone in my family, another family member. He was cleaning his rifle. and got away with it.

Oh, yuck. That old chestnut. And he was rubbished in the local town that we lived in, so he had to change the spelling of his surname. And ever since then, Churi has been spelt the way it is now. Crazy. What country was this in?

Cronulla Beach, I think. Australia. Was it in Australia? I don't know. For some reason, I pictured your family from like Denmark or something. No, my grandpa was born in Egypt and the Netherlands. It's a whole thing.

Europe. It's also irrelevant to the story. Oh, we've got a call, Jade. Has something happened to you? Family mystery. Family secret. Family secret. So both my nan and pop were Austrian, which I didn't really think much of that.

It's quite common for people to marry people from the same country. Yes, it is. My nan passed away second. And during that, I think a couple of people noticed that her maiden name was the same as her married name. And then it was revealed that they were actually first cousins. Oh. That's a secret. That should remain a secret.

But it's actually legal. Yeah, just because it's legal doesn't make it right. But it's legal, so it's not wrong. Morally. Morally, maybe. But, like, technically, they didn't do anything wrong. They didn't do anything wrong. Secrets don't have to necessarily be wrong,

but they could be something that you don't want everyone to know about. There's a bit of incest in all of this, really. No, there's not. That's not a statement. No, I'm all meaning, like, genealogically speaking. No. Oh. That's actually also incorrect.

Maybe that's why the murder happened in my family. Because of his incest. They found out they were cousins. And he went, I can't handle it. something miraculous has happened laura you just got to witness it in the ads the penny has finally dropped on a prank that i have been running on britney hockley for about seven days i just want to say i knew the whole time you did did you really i suspected i didn't think it was a whole premeditated thing that you were trying to work out for radio but i did suspect that he was teasing

me okay so your boyfriend steven my boyfriend steven um just followed brit on instagram right and you post, you know, you post all the time on Instagram. And he's 22, you're at 38. 37, sorry. But, you know, we've joked that the generation gap is noticeable, it's palpable. He's Gen Z. It's very noticeable because of all of the terminology,

the Gen Z terminology that's been coming out recently. That's where the big gaps, I think, happen. Yes, Laura. And he knows all the Gen Z terminology and he started commenting on Britney's Instagram, Slay Queen. He's used a lot of things. Everyone knows Slay Queen. Yeah, he's used a lot of acronyms and, like, he just plays it up a little bit.

Yeah, he's comments on Brit's Instagram to the point where she understands it, but barely. So on the weekend, my boyfriend Stephen went, why don't I comment something so obscurely Gen Z that she won't understand and that will confuse her and she'll have to Google. I'm like, do it. So he commented on Brit's Instagram looking very DTI. This is the moment that the penny dropped for Brit that we were pranking her. This happened, like, ten minutes ago in the ads.

Ready? Listen to this. I knew it was a test, Mitch. What did he say? So he wrote on my picture, very DTI coded with some like emojis. Producer Grace knows. Okay, can I tell you what I think it is? Yeah, we'll all have a guess. I thought it was down to something, but now I'm going to,

and I know you're going to cringe so hard because I don't think this is it. Dressed to impress. Oh my God, it is. It is. Do you know the context of what dressed to impress means? Well, it just means I look good, right? Oh, it doesn't. Oh, no, no, no.

Well, no, it does, but the youth have made it something else. Dressed to Impress is a game where you dress women up and then you walk them down a catwalk. It's on Roblox, a game built for children. And Grace plays it. I don't play it. You thought about it. I play it.

I have thought about it. And my boyfriend Stephen plays it. And then it's just Dressed to Impress, you look like a model. So he's just saying, like, you look like a model. Oh, I mean, us oldies just used to say that to people. If they looked dressed up, we'd be like, oh, you've dressed to impress. It wasn't a Roblox game. I think it's Roblox.

Roblox, yeah. I don't think it's roadblock. Eh, whatever. I don't play no video games. Well, at least I figured it out. So, sorry, Stephen. I have one up on you. You know what you need to do?

You need to go on his Instagram now and comment, like, calculator, newspaper, like, really old terminology to confuse him. Do you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to do a whole sentence in my head and then just write it in, like, a really hard to understand way and see what he does. What you just mean using full words with no abbreviations, actually doing the exact spelling of words, and then he'll be like, what on earth is that?

Oh, no. Okay, Puma, look at you guys coming for the kids. Imagine how much I'll throw him if I use punctuation. Oh, he'll be done for days.
