On air and iHeartRadio, She's on the Money Radio Show, with Victoria Devine, starts now.
Hello and welcome to the She's on the Money Radio Show podcast, the podcast for millennials
who want financial freedom.
You liked that one, didn't you?
Yeah.
I like it.
Well done.
Press the button.
You just like my mum.
Why?
I don't know, I just kind of feel like, you know.
I'm a nice lady.
You are a very nice lady.
If Victoria's the mum, what am I?
You're the uncle that needs to get off his butt
and get himself a real job and sort his life out.
Well, that's not really nice.
Who would tell anybody to get a real job?
Yeah, good point.
Thank you very much.
Well, we can talk into sticks for a living and make millions of dollars.
Oh, hang on a second.
Are you making millions?
What is going on?
Do we need to renegotiate our contracts?
Sorry, that's actually gravy on my contract.
I thought it was an extra zero.
Yeah, it's not an extra zero.
I was about to say, I thought we did this out of goodwill.
No.
Like, they have convinced me this is a good thing for my brand.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
The it'll be good for your profile thing is classic media right now.
No, it's not going to be, mate.
It's great exposure.
Hey, mate, the bathrooms on level three need a good cleaning.
It'll be great for your profile if you just jump on in and jiff the toilets for us.
Hard no from me.
The funny thing about talking about your contract there, Mitch,
is we actually had on the show today with our money dilemma,
Wendy wrote in and she was asking what's the best way to get a pay rise.
She did, she did.
So maybe you're the person that we need to talk to.
Scrap Victoria's advice and we need to talk to you.
Oh, Victoria?
No, we touched on it and it was good.
I reckon it was a good episode.
But we did an entire episode on the podcast recently about asking for a pay rise.
So definitely, if you haven't listened to that, go back to it
because I feel like we all need to know our worth.
Like it pisses me off, guys, that we have friends and family and even ourselves
that are undervaluing ourselves
or don't have the confidence to ask for what we're worth.
Like, it just makes sense.
Also, can I be honest?
I was terrified to ask for a pay rise.
And then the moment I did, it was easy.
And my boss was expecting it.
Guys, they're not shocked.
Like, they're your boss.
Their job is to pay you.
So they're always expecting you to ask for more money.
And the worst thing they can do is say no.
Yeah.
We also do a, which I think is fun,
we do a Super Saver Saturday.
So Victoria's got tips for us.
And we also do, I think, my favourite segment,
tell them they're dreaming.
Get out of here.
You've got to sing it.
Yeah, and we actually talk about dry lint,
which is interesting.
We'll get there.
Yeah, shocking.
I don't know how we did it, but we did.
We did, but the other thing is guilty pleasures,
and we didn't get much time to talk about this.
What's a guilty pleasure that you've actually bought
in the last week, Victoria?
On the last week, a $6 latte.
Okay, what about you, Mitch?
I bought a $4,000 DJ set imported from Milwaukee in the US.
Are you joking?
He is actually getting paid way more than us, Trav.
How the hell?
Honest to God.
Mate, how the hell did you get that?
Mate, I've got five radio shows, okay?
I'll tell you what.
Yeah, he's rich, rich.
No, I'm not rich, rich.
I'm Mitch.
I bought those.
Oh, sorry, Mitch, Mitch.
Mitch, rich.
Mitch, rich.
I love that.
Rich, Mitch.
My whole thing was Ben and Jerry's.
I got like the salted topped caramel brownie.
Oh.
That was my guilty pleasure.
I've seen that.
But the only reason I bought it was because it was half price at Woolies.
Oh, that's a money win.
That is a money win.
Can I say another money win?
You are basically making money by buying that ice cream.
I'd be rude not to.
Yeah, exactly.
Money win on the fly when you get the sale items at the checkout at the service station.
I always fall for that every time.
I actually end up buying gum and lollies and stuff if I'm hungry.
Oh, the two for six gum deal.
It's not even a saving.
No, no.
It's just the same price as buying two.
Yeah, it's actually really bad.
Like, it's a trap.
It's all about marketing, right?
It's all about, like, psychology and how they get you.
It's why at checkout at the supermarket,
they always have lollies and chocolates.
It's not because they think you will want them.
It's because they know that your kid is standing there asking for it,
and it's like a dollar, right?
So how do you shut your kid up?
You just say, yeah, no problem, scrabble, pop it on the...
Pop it in the trolley, and it's fine.
That's weird because I don't have a kid that I know of, so...
But you're still buying their chocolates?
Yeah, 100%.
You know what, kid?
Did anyone else's dad...
Maybe this is a dad thing, my dad did it, maybe a mum thing,
they would, as the checkout went through and the items were being scanned, they would grab
a copy of OK or New Idea and read it so quickly and then put, as if their life depended on
it, and then put it back before it was time to pay.
Oh my God, that has triggered some kind of memory in me that reminds me of what it was
like in like the early 2000s to go through the checkout and feel anxious.
You know what was worse than that though, Mitch?
What?
And your mum was like, oh, my God, I forgot the milk.
And then she'd leave you at the checkout.
Oh, my God.
The dread.
And you'd be like, oh, my God, what if she doesn't come back?
And this checkout lady thinks I can pay for it?
I can't pay.
I have no money.
What am I going to do?
My mum's not going to come back with the milk or the eggs
or whatever she forgot to put in the cart.
And they always take so much time, don't they?
You're like, where are you, mum?
They always take it.
And then you get there and your mum comes back and it's fine.
It's totally fine.
Or they will ask you what flybys you see.
I don't even know my nine times tables.
I don't know what flybys is.
We still don't even have fly-bys.
No.
I get asked all the time.
I feel like I'm missing out because Jessica Ricci,
who is a co-host of the actual She's On The Money podcast,
not this one.
This is like the wish version.
This is the wish version of She's On The Money.
Thanks, mate.
Appreciate that.
Yeah, you're welcome.
She saved up so many fly-bys points
that she bought herself an entire KitchenAid stand mixer
with the points.
I don't even know what that is.
It's like a very...
No, no, I do it too.
I do it too.
I adore it.
They're so expensive.
Yeah, great.
Like money win.
I need to get myself a Flybuys card.
Yeah, you do.
Just quickly, the whole magazine at the shopping thing.
Oh, yeah, that we spoke about an hour ago.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, I just have to say this.
I think my mum, Chrissy Roebuck,
is single-handedly keeping New Idea and Women's Day in business
because she is the only one who ever reads that
and buys it every single week
and then she gives it to my sister who reads it two weeks later,
which is fantastic.
Oh, that's pretty good.
That's getting a lot of bang for buck.
It really is.
She should come on the show.
Can I give you a fun fact that I often don't share?
Go.
But on the front page of New Ideas and the OKs,
they're actors.
You know, it's like, my dad was secretly my brother
who, at the end of the day, was my cousin, you know,
the really crazy headlines.
Yeah, you know how Mitch knows that?
Because he's one of those actors.
That's how we bought that $4,000 DJ suit.
All right, she's on the Money Radio Show.
He's coming at you right now.
This is...
She's on the Money Radio Show.
Saturday morning, round the country,
This is She's On The Money radio show
with Australia's number one finance podcaster,
Victoria Devine, Mitch Turi as well,
and it is time to do this.
You can dream, you can dream.
Telling me, dreaming.
How good's a good yell just to get it out of your system?
So therapeutic, cathartic even.
And make people feel bad about themselves
instead of you, right?
Oh, God, yeah.
That's my, like, daily motto.
No, that's so nasty.
Do you know what really annoys me about yelling?
Absolute side note.
I sometimes get frustrated, right?
No.
Like, you just, like, want to have an argument.
It shocks me.
It's shocking.
My partner won't yell at me.
Like, you know when you're like, oh, my God, I can't believe you did this.
He's like, okay, no problems.
I'll fix that.
Like, he's too level-headed.
That's called being a doormat, Steve.
Sorry about that.
No, it's not.
It's called being a good human, and I am not one.
What this segment's about, and so it's when you've all done it.
We've all been scrolling through Facebook Marketplace looking for a bargain, or you've
gone out shopping, and you go, you know what?
I'm not going to buy it here.
I'm going to go to Facebook Marketplace and save $100.
We get blown away by how much people think their junk is worth.
That's why we're playing a Tell Them They're Dreaming.
So we found five weird marketplace items, right, guys?
You all have one?
We did, we did.
Trav, you get to go first this week.
Ooh, well, I mean, this is state-of-the-art technology.
It's something this radio station probably still uses.
In fact, it might actually be this radio station
that is selling this, by the way.
A Sanyo Beta VCR, good used, it says, good English in the title,
good used, working condition.
How much would you pay for a Sanyo beta VCR?
Wait, so it's a VCR player?
You videotape, right?
It's essentially a video player.
Like $10 or something, right?
Oh, $10, yeah.
Oh, yeah, we're on the same page.
It's worth $10.
All right, give me an extra $340 on top of that.
Because it's $350.
But you know what?
Have a look at it, though.
I actually need one of those.
I'm not going to lie.
I thought it would be like $10 on Facebook Marketplace.
And you know why I need one?
I'm getting married at the end of this year.
and my parents' videotape is still on VCR.
And they said, oh, my gosh, you should watch this beforehand.
And I low-key want to because it's so nice.
Rah, rah, we're going through wedding stuff.
I need a VCR.
I'm not paying $350.
Are you joking?
Too much money.
What about this?
What about this?
I've got one.
Apple MacBook Air original box.
The box?
It's just the box, but it's in the fancy shipping.
This is their word, fancy shipping cardboard box.
It says this was ordered online,
so it comes with a high-quality cardboard box,
which it was shipped in.
What do we think?
They're asking for that.
It's in Sydney.
Is it free pickup because it's rubbish
and they just want you to come and take it out of their house?
Maybe they're putting it on Facebook Marketplace
because it doesn't fit in the bin.
That's a good point.
Yeah.
How much for the box?
Yeah, I said free.
I'm going to say $7.
$50 for the box.
No!
$50 for the box in a box.
Absolutely not.
I hope sometimes these people are taking the piss
and they are waiting for the one person to come up there
and then just take them away and go,
You, sir, are crazy because you were willing to pay $50 for a box.
Get out of here.
I hope they listen to this radio show and they go,
I'm just doing this for Victoria, Trav and Mitch,
so they've got content on the website.
I really appreciate it.
I've actually got two for you today.
One of them, I kind of feel like they've done it to take the mickey.
The other, I'm just confused about.
So the first one is lettuce.
They have a bag of single-leaf iceberg lettuce.
It's crisp and crunchy.
It's from Woolies.
On the packet, you can see in the photo, $2.
What do you think they're selling it for?
Oh, my God.
Yeah, what do you think they're trying to sell that for?
With the prices, I am going to say $40.
No, $500.
They are making a very good profit margin.
That's ridiculous.
All right, but you said you had two of us.
I do.
This one came through my DMs earlier this week.
This one's from Queensland.
I'm going to make you guys guess the price again.
Here's a picture of it.
Do you know what that is, Trav?
No.
What is that?
No idea.
All right.
It looks like some kind of a rabbit or a cat in a bowl or something.
It is lint from my dryer, about a year's worth.
Oh, my God.
How much is someone selling their dryer lint for, guys?
Too much.
Well, I mean, I would just put that in the bin, but how much?
I reckon we're talking cents.
I think we're talking cents.
They're up to 75 cents, I think.
I'm going to say, because people are idiots, five bucks.
No, $250.
Does that even say what the lint is from?
Like, if it's from some, like, special edition Yeezy,
I know Mitch would probably be interested.
Well, yeah, maybe they've been tumble-drying their cashmere or something
and it's just, like, premium.
Yeah, Victoria, send me that link.
I might be interested.
Yeah, all right, all right.
I'll send it to you later.
But is that a thing?
No.
I'm confused.
Unless it's a lint ball, I'm interested.
I was going to say, yeah, the only lint I'm doing is the chocolate version.
But you know what?
Yes.
People like to spend their money on the most random things.
So, coming up next on the She's On The Money radio show,
let's do guilty pleasures.
What is your guilty pleasure?
How much do you spend on that?
131065, we want to hear from you right now.
It's not the $17,000 Uber Eats that you do, Mitch.
Is it a $6 latte?
Yeah, it might be $250 lint.
Who knows?
Don't you guilt shame people, please?
Everyone has very different pleasures, okay?
We're not guilt shaming anybody.
We're all about embracing everybody's choices.
Some of them are better than others, though.
131065. Give us a call right now.
What's your guilty pleasure? And we will
guilt shame you next here on She's on the Money Radio
Show.
This is She's on the Money Radio Show.
Saturday morning, it's She's on the Money Radio
Show right around the country with Australia's
number one finance podcaster, Victoria
Devine, and the dancing queen
who's been dancing up a storm in the songs there,
Mitch Turi. How are you, mate?
Anyone got some deodorant? I'm
dancing up a sweat in here. The deodorant isn't going to
benefit you. It will benefit us.
Yeah, exactly.
You know what?
But we are all here thanks to Budget Direct.
Winner of CanStar's Insurer of the Year Award 2022.
Budget Direct insurance solved.
We're talking about guilty pleasures today.
And I believe we have a few callers that have come through with some pretty good ones.
Play the sting so we can get through them.
Play it, play it, play it.
You guys aren't even my real mum and dad.
13-1065, give us a call right now.
Now, we want to hear what's that crazy thing that, you know, you go,
I probably shouldn't spend all of my cash on this.
But I did though.
Mine's Uber Eats.
Victoria, what's yours?
Coffee.
Yeah, a lot of cough.
A lot of cough.
What about you, Belle?
What's your guilty pleasure?
Well, basically, I only stay at hotels that have beautiful pools
just so I can get a selfie to send to my ex and make him jealous.
Oh, yes.
That's the plan.
And does it work?
Why are you still texting your ex?
Do we need to talk about this?
Do you want to grab a coffee?
No, I'm not texting him.
Absolutely not texting him, just putting it on Instagram
and I know he's lurking.
Yeah, you're a nerd.
All right, all right.
But I feel like that's a good criteria to meet
when you're going on holiday.
If I go on holiday, like I'm off to Bali like Mitch was last week.
Bula.
I want to go.
That's Fiji, mate.
That's Fijian, mate.
Let's power through.
Let's push on.
Yeah, look, let's not.
But I feel like the pool is a place I spend a lot of time.
It's not a guilty pleasure.
She's just a smart woman.
Have you ever rocked up to one bell and it's just like,
this is not what it said on the box.
and it's just like a bathtub or something?
A hundred percent.
There was one,
and it just did not live up to my photographic expectations.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
But hold on, Belle, I'm confused.
Is the goal to convince people
that you own a house with a hundred different pools?
People aren't believing that.
No, it's to convince people she can go on expensive holidays.
And she's living her best life, mate.
All right, all right.
Guilty pleasure.
Take it.
Thank you, Belle, for your call.
Thank you.
All right, we have Sasha now, 31065.
We're taking your calls on your guilty pleasure.
Sasha, what's yours?
My guilty pleasure is nanoblock.
What?
Which is basically like this teeny tiny Lego that you use tweezers to assemble like little display models of things.
And it started out as I was at a bookshop and there was this little nanoblock thing and I bought it.
It was like 15 bucks.
I got addicted.
I don't know.
I must have been going through something in my life.
And I've now moved up to full, like, $250 mini city replicas.
What?
And I have two.
I have London and I have Paris.
Oh, my God.
Listen to how excited she's getting over this.
I'm impressed because I would get so frustrated at that.
Like, I just couldn't do it.
That's part of it.
You sit there and you're like, and then you finally get it.
And it's amazing.
Nah, my ADHD could never.
So how much have you spent on this, Sasha?
So, it's $250 for a full city.
No.
But keep in mind that the city, it moves.
So, like, the London Eye in the London,
like, it's an actual little revolving circle.
You work for NanoBlocks.
You're here to promote it, aren't you?
Yeah, this is on TV.
And right now, you can get London and Shanghai
for the good price of $12,000.
$500.
Get off here, Sasha.
It's not a guilty pleasure.
It's a guilty plug.
Drop it, Trav.
Whatever.
That was guilty pleasures.
We're going to do that again soon.
I love that segment.
I love that segment.
It's so much fun.
What do you do with these little cities once you've got them?
I thought she said nanoblock, and then I was like, what is that?
I thought she was going to talk to us about crypto,
and I was about to be like, get off my show.
Anyway, if you've got a money dilemma,
you're struggling with your cash flow,
probably from buying too much crypto,
if you need some advice, you can hit us up right now
at She's On The Money Socials.
Mitch, who's hit us up this week?
Wendy.
And, you know, for someone named Wendy to hit us up online,
you know it takes a while to log up on the computer and get on.
Hey, no, I love the name Wendy.
It reminds me of Peter Pan.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, but you just know Wendy's not at uni.
You know what I mean?
Wendy's on a Probus bus tour.
Mature age student.
Yeah, but potentially.
She wants to know, how do I ask?
Actually, I'll do it in Wendy's voice.
How do I ask for a pay rise?
Wendy sounds just like Victoria Devine.
You guys are so nice to me.
I know, we love you.
Victoria D.
That's coming up next on She's on the Money Radio Show.
I believe it's Vicky D.
This is...
She's on the Money Radio Show.
Saturday morning, she's on the Money Radio Show
with Australia's number one finance podcaster, Victoria Devine.
Mitch Turi as well.
Yeah, hi.
We're doing Victoria and your voices there, Mitch,
because they were very similar.
He's trying.
You don't even need me anymore.
No, get out of here.
Mitch is giving me advice now.
Was Victoria the yup or the hi?
Who was who?
I was the yup.
Yup.
Yup.
Hi.
I want you to do this segment as Victoria and Mitch
because we're doing this.
Press the button.
Thank you, Captain Obvious.
Money, money, money.
I almost forgot.
Each week we bring you someone's financial...
Dog, down.
Lucy.
Lucy.
Lucy.
Hold on.
Can someone call reception?
The Chanel delivery's here.
Yay.
Oh, Chanel don't deliver.
Come on now.
Sit down.
Sorry, let's get to the money dilemma.
Okay, so this is...
Mitch, can you stop doing Victoria's voice?
Oh, actually, you did.
Sorry.
That's meaner than what I did, Victoria.
It was.
Wendy posted on the She's On The Money Facebook community group
about asking for a pay rise.
So this is what she says.
Wendy asks,
I've been telling my partner for many years
that he's underpaid
and should be asking for a pay rise,
but he never does and it drives me nuts.
He was painfully shy when we met,
but has come out of his shell,
which is great.
However, when we have a conversation about it,
he shuts down completely.
I'm wondering if there is something
that will make him click
to ask for that pay rise.
Good question, Victoria.
Oh, this is not the way
I thought you'd ask this question.
It's usually I want a pay rise.
How do I ask?
Yeah.
I feel like there's a lot going on there, right?
obviously confidence is a really big part of asking for a pay rise but it's all about knowing
your worth like we need to know our worth and to do that when it comes to asking for a pay rise
there are a few things we can do to be a bit more confident so firstly we can look at our job
description and what we're being paid and do a little bit of google searching and see what other
jobs that fit that criteria are actually paying so that we know we're either on the mark or we're
under or we're over so we get a good idea of what the market's doing the second thing we do is look
at our job description and what we actually do because often those two things differ a little
bit like we'll have our job description but then if we've been there for a few years we might have
taken on a number of other responsibilities like someone might have left and you might have absorbed
some of their job and now you're actually performing in a completely different capacity
and that might need to be remunerated differently it's not necessarily about the above and beyond
I know that a lot of people will be like, but I put so much energy and effort into my job.
And it's like, well, yeah, but your boss is going to expect that.
So let's sit down and go, all right, well, what is this job actually worth and how does this work?
One of the things that I really like, not a sponsored plug, but something that has been really handy for my clients and I is the Hayes Salary Guide.
If you just Google the Hayes Salary Guide, it will pop up.
And for me, that's one of the most comprehensive guides I can find that benchmarks different salaries so that you can actually take something and have some research when you sit down with your boss and go, I want to pay rise.
You can go, because I know the market pays this in this location.
So I think we also need to sit down and go, all right, well, why do I deserve this?
Like if I was my boss, what would be those blockers?
What are the things that my boss would say?
No, like I can't afford it or I can't do this or I can't do that.
Write down all of those.
So when you approach your boss, you can say, hey, I'd love to have a chat to you about my remuneration.
Never just waltz into their office with a whole heap of papers and be like, we need to talk about my pay.
Organise a time to sit down so they can also adequately prepare themselves.
Pick a time that they won't be too stressed.
We did some research in the She's On The Money community.
We find that Thursday is the perfect day to ask for a pay rise because it's not the start of the week when people are really stressed.
It's not Friday when people are just trying to get out the door.
It gives them enough time to think about it.
But from my perspective, it's all about research.
And another hot tip that has been happening in my community has been an email folder.
So keep an email folder in your emails.
So when you get good feedback or things that you think you've done really well, take a copy of that email, drop it into that folder so that when you go to talk to your boss, you're not just putting research in front of them.
You're putting proof in front of them because all of us are usually terrible at blowing our own trumpets.
trumpets but if we get good feedback and then we're like oh my gosh I know I got some good
feedback throughout the year where is it it's usually really hard to find not if you have a
folder of it so keep track of it make sure that you're taking to your boss a very reasonable
explanation of why you might deserve that it can actually be a very pragmatic conversation
and I think if we can peel our emotions away from that it's what is the job that I'm doing today
worth how do i articulate what it could be worth or should be worth and then how do i sit down
and have an educated conversation with my boss where they basically can't say no great tips all
right if you want to get in touch with us just search she's on the money on socials isn't that

people are trying to keep it a secret but we're telling you and it's like you're part of some
little secret club. Yeah have a little bit of a money win. I've got a money win I'm going to save
to the very last which I know is going to impact a lot of people around Australia at different
amounts but this is a 250 money win for victorians right so that's very good but first cab off the
rank guys generic brand prescription medication oh i've just discovered this have you actually
yeah because we've just discovered that my partner has uh anaphylactic he's actually allergic to
it's a long story oh my gosh i remember you telling us this this is crazy like
imagine being hit with that stick that's awful i know so he needs epi pens right so epi pens are
so expensive and there's a whole discussion we could have on on those being made cheaper
but uh we got the generic brand epi pen which i didn't even know you could do it was half the
price i feel like it's something that a lot of us have been asked right like you go to fill a
prescription and the chemist will say hey do you want the generic one and you're like no like just
give me what the doctor prescribed yeah yeah yeah i was talking to my pharmacist the other day when
in the middle of the day and he was having a bit of a chat with me and it's exactly the same
medication like same active ingredients same everything it just comes in a different box and
it's a lot cheaper and he was saying he doesn't understand why everyone just doesn't default to
that because he's like why do you need a name brand what are you gonna do because people just
hate budget marketing yeah but you're not you're not getting a subpar product it's basically
identical in a different wrapping which i think is really important to take into consideration
yeah we wouldn't know unless we were listening to the she's on the money radio show super saver
Saturday. Hey man, hit me with
tip two, baby. Right, guys, everybody
has that thing in their house
that they just don't use.
Sell your unused items.
We drag Facebook Marketplace a little bit,
so probably be really reasonable about
what you're popping online. Otherwise, you might
find yourself on the show. But sell
your unused items. If you're not using
that keyboard because you bought it and you thought you were
going to teach yourself piano, pop it
on Facebook Marketplace. Chuck it online,
get rid of it, turn it into cash,
use that cash to pump up
your emergency fund or invest or save or even just take yourself out for a little date but i just
think it's so important to always be looking for ways to find some extra cash in our homes
and i'm putting that tip in there because i actually need to take that myself i what do you
have victoria what do you have lying around that you could sell i've got a treadmill yeah like i
bought a treadmill during covid but i bought one of those like flat treadmills the walking pads
Oh, I've seen them.
Yes, you watch TV and stand at the desk and do it.
Yes.
So I thought I'd do that, but I haven't used it.
So this is my kick up the bottom to either sell it or start using it.
Or you could repurpose it as an at-home sushi train and put it in the kitchen.
Oh, I love that idea.
Wow, like it just throws food at the wall because it doesn't go around in a circle.
On speed one, Victoria, speed one.
Or I could get really lazy and put my dog on it instead of going for walks.
No.
Should do it.
You leave Lucy alone, you bully.
All right, tip three.
What's tip three?
All right, tip three.
Again, not sponsored.
It's actually a government initiative that's going on.
It's the 250 power saving bonus that is a one-off $250 cash back
if you upload in Victoria a copy of your energy bill.
And a heap of people in the She's On The Money community
have been doing this.
You pop online.
You go to the compare.energy.vic.gov.au website.
You upload a copy of your energy bill.
Bam, $250 back in your account.
It doesn't even have to be a $250 bill.
It's just a flat payout, free money, and last year they had it,
but it was only for concession card holders.
That's crazy.
Now it's gone.
Everybody and their dog can get their $250 back.
Lucy, Lucy, yeah, hear that, Lucy?
What a deal.
Lucy's asleep under the desk.
She's so sick of our stuff.
She's just like, can you get me out of here, guys?
I want to go to brunch.
I know how this works.
I come record, then my mum takes me to get some eggs.
It's funny because that's what we can do, Victoria, but Mitch Turi can't.
You are doing Brit and Laura, the Life Uncut radio show.
I'm not doing Brit and Laura.
How dare you?
They're both very respectful women.
They wouldn't do me.
Okay, well, you're going to go do their show.
Is that better?
Yes, thank you.
Go do their show.
All right, that's coming up straight after the news.
We're out of here.
We'll be back next week.
In the meantime, if you want to catch up with us, just search She's On The Money on socials.
But until then, we'll see you next week.
See you then.
Bye.
