Speaker 2 (00:53):
You know, there's over a million dollars that's been placed
on Robert Heran to win his thing.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Fits on hot person. No. No, and that was Terry.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
You know, I look at him there, Oh god, he
is the ultimate ambassador for this country.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
He's very bloody great guy.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Look at him. Oh wow, that was like Michael Jackson.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Do you think I mean Bindy one dancing with the
Stars us. Do you think she's sitting at home thinking
I hope he doesn't win.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Hey, this is my area. They love each other.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
That's not you know what, it's not the it's not
the rivalry that you had with Kate and Louise.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
You know, actually rade each other.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
You know, like Bindy has come out and said Robert
is like living sunshine.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Who said that, Bindy living son? Terry?
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Who says that about their brother? If you like, let's
go around the room. We've all said things about our siblings.
But I don't know if I would ever say, you know,
oh he's living sunshine.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Then Bindy sorry, then Terry. Terry Irwin came out and
said he's kind of what Tom Cruise.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Aspires to be. What she didn't, Yes she did? What
did she say? What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Well, it's like saying Tom Cruise, Yes, we know how
great he is, but he would give anything to be
like Robert Irwin.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
This is an article with the New York Times or something.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Isn't it, so she thinks Tom Cruise wants to be
like Robert Irwin.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I reckon, if you asked Tom Cruise in twenty fifteen,
would you prefer to be Tom Cruise or Robert Irwin?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
He'd say Robert Irwin. I would say Robert Irwin.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Well, no, that's putting, that's putting a very high price
on youth. And youth may give you something, but it
doesn't give Okay, you go.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
The woman spent two weeks with Robert Irwin writing this article, right, yeah,
And she said there was a couple of moments where
Robert Irwin even turned into Clark Kent because there were moments.
One being on a domes sticked flight when a bee
got into the cabin, all the passengers were panicking.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Robert, like Clark Kent, took off his glasses and went
straight in to catch the bee.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Candy superman, you know what he turned into. I want
to know. I want to know who the journalist is.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Her name is Sally McIntyre. How old is she? I
didn't ask her anyway. Then there was another moment, unfortunately,
because she really rates.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Then they were in a park and apparently there was
a squirrel and the eagle came down and picked up
the squirrel.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
We were talking about this the other day.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Unfortunately, on this occasion, Robert couldn't do anything, so we
just watched the squirrel.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Yeah, how long did it take you to write?
Speaker 4 (03:49):
There was a wedge tab legal in the park.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
They were in a park.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
They were in La County and there was a park,
and they were there and the squirrel got taken an eagle.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Eagles are everywhere in the US. Squirrels what about this?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
She goes on to talk about Robert, sharing that when
they grow grew up, they would sit there watching breakfast
and Terry would put on The Crocodile Hunter over breakfast.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
So Dad was never out of our lives.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
We had endless amounts of documentaries and footage that we
could watch and they did that every morning at breakfast, So.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
It was like Dad was always there. I love that.
I really love that. The question then went on to
what happens after Dancing with the Stars for Robert Irwin.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
So, who's asking.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Sarah McIntyre, what are you going to do after Dancing
with the stars? Robert, Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
And you know he was in the cameo for Disney's
Zootopia too as Robert Ferwin.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
And he said he would like to go and to
some action films. Do you know we're on the radio?
This was this is amazing?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
You do you? I don't know who's more in love
with Robert Irwin, Sally or me?
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Well you, I love Robert Irwin. I love Robert Irwin.
I love him more.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Okay, you invented him.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I didn't invent him.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
So he wants to go on and I could see
him doing Chris Hemsworth star films.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Well, he hasn't done anything.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Who's in the room with me, Olia, Grace, anyone else?
Think you could do an action film? He could tom Action?
Do you want me to act so zoned out for
the last or something? Labeling? How am I labeling? Thinking?
(05:36):
All he can do is jungle gear.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
He can do anything that. The unfortunate thing about all
of this is you are going so hard on Robert Irwin.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
He's broken. Yes, you've got so hard on Robert. He's
ribs broken.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
And now anything I say or fits he says can
just not possibly compare. It sounds like we're bagging Robert
