Speaker 3 (00:06):
Thank you, Darcy, and good afternoon, and welcome to the program.

Speaker 4 (00:14):
Hello, Gabby, Hello, and welcome.

Speaker 5 (00:16):
Lewis. Hello.

Speaker 6 (00:18):
It feel like you need to put on a lot
of voice with this music.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
I know what it is, very official to me, it's
such an iconic song, but for whatever reason, another generation
isn't as familiar with it.

Speaker 4 (00:30):
You know, you don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 6 (00:33):
I just thought it was fancy.

Speaker 5 (00:34):
Get ready to hear it, fans.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Maybe maybe there's a bit that you'll identify whereby you're listening.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
Across camera or around the world. As it is, it's
the song of here we go, Here it comes.

Speaker 5 (00:53):
It sounds like Carol's in then.

Speaker 4 (00:56):
To me, it's the Olympics.

Speaker 5 (00:58):
It's the Olympic thing.

Speaker 4 (00:59):
It's the Olympic anthem. Who is it? Yes, it's the
most iconic song in the world, is.

Speaker 6 (01:04):
It if we don't know about it?

Speaker 4 (01:05):
I don't think it is. Gee, the Olympics has got
some work to I guess you show up ones every
four years. There's a problem.

Speaker 6 (01:10):
Yeah, do they still use it?

Speaker 4 (01:12):
We'll find out.

Speaker 5 (01:14):
He's on the Eurovision song.

Speaker 7 (01:15):
They have a song technically that they play at the start,
isn't it like I don't know?

Speaker 5 (01:19):
I know that there is one, I don't know what
it is.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Well, as Australians, we turned up pretty late to the party,
the Eurovision party, so I don't think we're expected to
know that this is the Olympic Games.

Speaker 7 (01:30):
I'm not listening for this. I'm listening for the Australian
anthem when we win.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Gotitude, great attitude And on that note, a man who
came so close he was in the gold medal game
for our men's field hockey team. The Cooker barrots Australia's
most successful Olympic team of all time, and he is
a can bear and done good.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
We can't wait for Andrew Charter to join us today
on the show.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
But the reason we're playing the theme music is I'm
sure it is blaring in France today, eighty odd days
out from the opening of the Olympic Games. The Torch
has touched down on French soil after its world tour.

Speaker 7 (02:08):
Lewis, Yeah, well, world tour, but it's like what the
big international artists are calling their will to us these days.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
Came here.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
I don't think it came anywhere in Australia.

Speaker 6 (02:19):
Is it too far away? It takes too long to.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
Blow out on the It's always the thing. Is it
starts in Greece?

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Obviously, yes, And I guess you're in the neighborhood. Do
you know what I mean, like France? Well, yeah, if
I'm in Greece and I need to duck across to
France in.

Speaker 8 (02:38):
The moly, it had to go to America though, because
they'd be furious if.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
I don't know, in the name of my carbon footprint,
you know, I'm not going any.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
Further than I need to. So I haven't charted its path.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Do you remember in two thousand it would be part
of the nightly coverage, sorry, the part of the news
every night would be the coverage of where the flame went.

Speaker 6 (02:57):
And who was running with it.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
And we all knew someone who got the caller.

Speaker 6 (03:02):
Yeah, that was fun.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Well, that was the idea that it was the People's Olympics. Yeah,
And so there was a thing whatever it is, a
drawer or whatever, and everyone entered into it.

Speaker 6 (03:13):
Like a lottery.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
That's the word that was missing from my vocabulary. And
everyone would you know, who got drawn out? Drawn out,
got to run a.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Kilometer or two, or wheel if you're in a wheelchair.
There were people of all different abilities who were able
to carry the flame literally around the Australia and through
the Middle We.

Speaker 8 (03:33):
Had some great exports people do it as well who
had been to Olympics bast Yes.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
Yeah, absolutely, so fantastic.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
We remember as a nation how fantastic well would be nice,
how fantastic it was for us. But the French today
is the first day for them, and it means obviously
they're going to cover most of France.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
Yes, because they've got eighty days before I actually have
to get to the stadium.

Speaker 6 (03:54):
It'd be pretty much just a wine tour winery on
your way.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
Has anyone seen the flame? The flame has been missing
for a couple of days. We saw it a winery.

Speaker 6 (04:08):
It was in Champagne somewhere.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
He haven't seen him.

Speaker 9 (04:13):
An your day wrapped for your run home. It's cambra
wrapped on mixed. I six point three.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
I got my head out.

Speaker 10 (04:20):
This show.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
So Greatvian Born, if you are joining us, we've spoken.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
About still only week two since you've returned from maternity.

Speaker 6 (04:31):
That's true. Ye, week two feels like I've never left.

Speaker 4 (04:34):
To be honest, I think, yes, you're right. For all
of us, it does feel like the norm.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
But the one thing that reminds me that it's new
is that you keep jumping up and announcing I should
be pumping, and then you just leave the room because
you haven't gone into a routine.

Speaker 4 (04:53):
Get well.

Speaker 8 (04:54):
I can't be in a routine for pumping because it
all depends on what time my daughter waits up of
the morning as to what time her feeds are.

Speaker 6 (05:02):
Then for the rest of the day, so it's not
the same every day.

Speaker 8 (05:05):
Oh so she has, you know, her last feed before
I drop her off at daycare at ten. Pumping doesn't
start then for three hours after that, so change every day.

Speaker 6 (05:13):
So that's why I'm really struggling to remember.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
I've noticed that every time you do it, I somehow instinctively,
it's not a conscious thought. I just start singing one
of all the various pumped songs you do.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
I just is it okay that I'm going with it.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
I just don't think about it, and you go need
to be pumping, and you leave, and I start going, you.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
Should this is now my female You should settle the
alarms to keep it fun. You know one are the
other ones?

Speaker 6 (05:47):
That's what I was thinking.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
Is it okay to have.

Speaker 10 (05:55):
Ye?

Speaker 7 (05:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (05:57):
Yeah, I don't know if this one is here, but
I can seat in the system Icy Blue, Yes, before
Your Time.

Speaker 6 (06:09):
I don't know that one, but I like it.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
What about I'm sure everyone's shouting different pumpets songs under
the radio. I'll try and cover everyone off. We did
that one, Betho who doesn't have the headphones.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
On nineteen ninety five Tokyo Ghetto.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
Well that's cool, so young.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
It was an interesting time in music in Australia.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
In the world.

Speaker 6 (06:37):
Kind of really became a thing right spot.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
And yes, just repeating Andrew Charter, Australian hockey legend and
Canberra boy done good, the most capped Cooker Barrough, our
most successful Olympic team of all time.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
He's going to be joining us today.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
And this is a really interesting time for the Kooka
Barros because while the team has qualified, the players need
to compare in the next tournament to see who actually
gets named in the team to represent Australia.

Speaker 11 (07:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (07:05):
I didn't realize that, Like wild, I thought the team
would be pretty set.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
Well, let's talk to him, maybe he's got some man
inside scoop for us, Andrew Charter joining us in the
next hour, and then after five o'clock Dave Thornton, one
of Australia's funniest blokes. He's just awesome and all I'll
tell you is I found an old video of.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
Him, very very old video that he may not want
to have to have revealed. So let's see how that
goes after five.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
There is only one true indicator of if you're cool
or not.

Speaker 10 (07:36):
I know that I'm not really because on the show
you like to claim that you are pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
Well, I'm the least cool person in camp.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
I think you try, though, which is which is a door?

Speaker 4 (07:49):
And that's the part that they do. Though I know
that I'm not specific.

Speaker 6 (07:53):
Everyone we all try.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
The fact that I try as hard as I do
is the indicator the lack of coolness.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
However, young you're cool to me, you're cool.

Speaker 8 (08:05):
See it's funny because I have stopped trying as much
to be cool around my sixteen year old niece.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
That's cool.

Speaker 10 (08:13):
Maybe that's that's sick because they don't care about what
other people think.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
They just they just are.

Speaker 8 (08:19):
It might be the secret because as my niece got
older when when I was when she was young, I
was really cool.

Speaker 6 (08:25):
And as she got.

Speaker 8 (08:26):
Older, she started to realize what cool actually was and
that was not me. And I was really trying to
impress her all the time. And it got to a
point where I'm like, you know what, I don't care,
and so I do silly things all the time and
she rolls her eyes at me, and I think it's
hilarious rather than being offended like I used to be.
But there was one instance over the weekend. They've got

(08:48):
me really excited, and I think I like being cool.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
I'm about it.

Speaker 6 (08:54):
I get it.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
I feel like she's setting you up for a form mate.

Speaker 6 (08:59):
Lonely into this false sense where I think I'm cool.

Speaker 10 (09:02):
It feels good when you when you find out you're cool, it.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
Does, but you got over it. You weren't trying to
be cool anymore.

Speaker 8 (09:08):
No, now I'm back because what happened was on I
think it was Friday.

Speaker 6 (09:11):
I was talking to my niece and my sister and
I was like, yes, what's back, Just like what I
was like, flared tights. They're back in fashion. I'm all about.

Speaker 10 (09:23):
The big pants at the most, big big pants, too
big well, the flared.

Speaker 8 (09:28):
Ties are still tight to luck beneath and they and
I remember I used to wear them back in two
thousand when I did dance classes.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
We'd call them dance pants.

Speaker 6 (09:39):
My dance pants are back.

Speaker 8 (09:40):
Yeah, and they're like Lorna Jane and all of the
big active where labels are selling them again.

Speaker 6 (09:45):
And I was like, they're back.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
You know, it's funny.

Speaker 6 (09:47):
It's me.

Speaker 10 (09:48):
I saw my cool housemate best friend Heidi, wearing some
the other day and I was like, that's interesting.

Speaker 6 (09:52):
And then they're back. They're back.

Speaker 8 (09:54):
Well, according to me, I thought that you had just
declared it, but you're saying they're.

Speaker 6 (09:58):
Actually back, and my books and I was really excited
by it.

Speaker 8 (10:02):
But yeah, it's the proper companies that probably I'm more
interested in than my nieces.

Speaker 6 (10:06):
So I don't know if they're cool companies anymore. So
that was the other thing.

Speaker 8 (10:10):
So I was talking to my niece and my sister,
I like, they're back. I used to wear them in
two thousand. Of my sister's like, gap, they're gone twenty
four years.

Speaker 6 (10:17):
Let it go. I'm like, no, I will wear them
tomorrow and you will see. So I wore them on.

Speaker 8 (10:22):
The weekend and without even pointing them out, my sixteen
year on niece walks out and she looks me up
and down and goes cool pants.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
Oh they are back and I'm cool again.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
That's amazing. Now, don't straw up.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
And this is the thing you set up now for
a four Now I want to be cool again.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
It's tough to spend time.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
With her and then your whisp wait, your podcast camera wrapped.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
I did notice the photo that was doing around this
morning that Hugh Jackman posted on his socials just before
he stepped out to attend the met Gala board.

Speaker 8 (10:59):
I saw that and there was the headline of the
sad detail in Hugh jackonspad.

Speaker 6 (11:04):
I couldn't figure it.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
What was sad about?

Speaker 2 (11:05):
I could straight away. He doesn't. He has like all
this stuff on the floor. He doesn't.

Speaker 10 (11:10):
It looks like he has no furniture in the place.
Because you know when guys have a natural of bad
and they're living like by themselves.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
No tables for decades. She took the table well shelving.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
It appears like a bowl on the ground.

Speaker 10 (11:27):
But you know how men just like and generally if
they have had a wife, yeah, but they're just not
very good at generalization, but taking care of themselves.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
So like, yeah, he doesn't know how to furnish the place.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
When my wife met me years after my last long
term relationship, and I still didn't have a bed.

Speaker 6 (11:48):
It was just a mattress on the floor.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
Yeah, I remember when I came terrible and like.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Gone, So how did you marry her?

Speaker 4 (11:57):
She has very low stands.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
Well, thank goodness, it's a story of success.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
Story of me defying the odds. I'm a very lucky man.
But no, we do. We we the fact that Hugh took.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
The photo, looked at it, and then in the back
of the photo you can see his stuff just strewn
on the ground like a guy obviously who's unfortunately gone
through a thing that we've all been through in life,
and sadly.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
It happens all the time. And he looked at that photo.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
Looking good, and he is looking good though he's looking good,
and he boasted.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
I don't think he's feeling caught well.

Speaker 4 (12:34):
People people love him and they worry about him.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
And he said, that's that tuxedo that he was wearing
was the very same one that he wore to the
first met Gala ball that.

Speaker 4 (12:44):
He attended and so everyone read into that. Oh it's
a tribute. It's a tribute to his wife because she
was with him.

Speaker 8 (12:50):
She used to pick his outfits for him, and she's
not there to pick it, so.

Speaker 6 (12:54):
I just picked it up.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
He'd have had no idea I've got this to just
wear it.

Speaker 10 (12:58):
Probably doesn't even know how to, like you, do his
own tie.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
He doesn't even know how to get some shelving up
to put those books back up there.

Speaker 4 (13:05):
So he's fine, He's Wolverine.

Speaker 6 (13:07):
He's fine.

Speaker 4 (13:08):
We hope he's fine. Anyway, I saw that doing the rounds.
I love that you didn't even notice.

Speaker 8 (13:12):
What the problem was getting So there's stuff on the floor,
proof stuff all over my floor at home to.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
All right, we are prepared here the five stages of
knowing that you're in a relationship.

Speaker 4 (13:23):
Yes, here we go.

Speaker 10 (13:24):
Okay, and I'll tell you what stage I think that
I'm at.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
Won't we do that? Let's not do that.

Speaker 6 (13:31):
I thought you meant for our own relationships. You meant
judging Beths.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
The stage that you can tell me, the stage that
Gaby and I are at is beyond the point of
no return.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
Well, your stage, it's.

Speaker 10 (13:42):
Exciting, but it will be interesting what you say based
on this lista. Right, So stage one is the honeymoon phase.
We all know what that means.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Good phase, good phase, A couple of glasses.

Speaker 10 (13:53):
You know you love them, You're fill it on top
of the well that oxytocin is just raining in.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
I wonder if it's even pre love in this last.

Speaker 8 (14:01):
Last and then it's amazing, Yeah, and then.

Speaker 4 (14:08):
She's going back there.

Speaker 10 (14:09):
Well, it's funny that you say that, because stage two
is the power struggle phase.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Have a listen to.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
This's that we're listening to.

Speaker 10 (14:18):
This is a relationship expert from Vancouver.

Speaker 4 (14:21):
Here we go.

Speaker 11 (14:22):
The second phase after the honeymoon phase is called the
power struggle phase. And this is when you start noticing
the differences in your partner and you start seeing, oh,
all those similarities don't seem as great anymore because I
see all the differences.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
And because your other half, not that i'd say other
halfs more of an Australian thing that someone would say,
but your partner.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
Is cold at night, but you're hot and no one
knows how to manage the temperature.

Speaker 10 (14:56):
Really well, it's interesting you say that's short period ninety percent.
It worked out, it did but ninety percent of people
never make it pass stage two. Okay, so they say,
often in stage two people either some people actually stay
there for the rest of their lives and you know,
before their deathbed, they're still bickering and whatnot, and they're

(15:18):
not accepting, they're still arguing.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
Over their differences.

Speaker 10 (15:21):
Most people, they say, actually just cycle between stage one
and two. They go stage one, then they go stage two,
then they go back to stage one with a new partner.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
So basically his advice is that.

Speaker 10 (15:31):
You need to you know, through power through too stage three.

Speaker 11 (15:36):
It's a way to get out of this and actually
move on to phase three, which is adaptation and acceptance.
You must be able to accept the differences in your partner,
understand that they may never change, and if you can
still love.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
Them for that.

Speaker 4 (15:52):
Amazing.

Speaker 8 (15:53):
Okay, have conversations about what's wrong and make them change together.

Speaker 4 (15:56):
No kidding your noise?

Speaker 12 (15:58):
All.

Speaker 10 (15:59):
Yeah, so I'm at stage two, Gab's at stage three.

Speaker 8 (16:03):
No, Well, I don't know if we're at stage three.
We definitely got through stage two. I don't know if
it was accepting each other's differences or compromising.

Speaker 6 (16:11):
Yeah, it was more about compromising.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
Might have been for you mate, right, your other half,
he's not here if he didn't accept. I'm just telling
he knows. He knows, all right.

Speaker 10 (16:23):
So then we go on to stage four, and just remember,
even if you've made it to stage three, you're doing well.

Speaker 11 (16:29):
Now. The fourth phase is commitment. It's when you actually
fully accept the person for who they are and you
commit together to building a really powerful, beautiful life that
you two can share for a long long time.

Speaker 8 (16:41):
I hope we're both there and not together, respect relationship
together forever.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
Look at I was committing, but as far as our
respected relationships, it is.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
It is the greatest to discover that, and I've never
discovered that.

Speaker 4 (16:58):
You know before, obviously find him.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
My wife's why you begin creating life with that person.
So I have had the good fortune to make it
to stage four, but I'm nervous to hear so.

Speaker 10 (17:09):
Stage five they say can take decades to get here,
and this is the end goal. And if you have this,
you are lucky and well done to you.

Speaker 11 (17:20):
We go everybody, and finally, the fifth phase is oneness.
It is when you are so in tune with each
other that you're literally you're one.

Speaker 8 (17:35):
What's the We love those couples though, whether it's a
wee for everything, like there's no individuality, I feel like
you still want to keep a bit of individuality.

Speaker 6 (17:43):
You can't be one in everything.

Speaker 3 (17:44):
I feel like someone hasn't discovered Stage five. Us here
from the newsroom, acting very, very casual.

Speaker 6 (17:54):
It was an obstacle course to get in the door.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
Well.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
Feels most comfortable working on the floor, so you've got
to be care We moved into a bigger studio for you. Anyway,
we'll discuss this at another time.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
I was worried about you for.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
A moment, Louis, because we had a photo shoot or
a film shoot this morning, yes, and it was at
a par but because I guess it was meant to
look like we were just hanging out. And it was
at eleven o'clock in the morning, and our photographer said, hey,
you know.

Speaker 4 (18:28):
You'll need to have some drinks or something in front
of you. Yeah, And I said, I we'll just grab
us the sparkling water. And Betho went to go and
sort that out.

Speaker 3 (18:38):
And Louis jumped up and said I'll come and help,
and just looked suspicious. And I said, to you, Gabby,
it really does look like they're going in to have
shots before they come out with some water. And so
I went to remind Betho to grab the receipt, and
I opened the door and I said, oh, Louis, and
this is without a word of a lie.

Speaker 4 (18:59):
Lewis spun around and went, oh, and has never looked
more suspicious in his life.

Speaker 7 (19:07):
Caught me out of the blue. I'd already have my
shots though, so it was good.

Speaker 4 (19:12):
He's very easily shot.

Speaker 6 (19:14):
So you wouldn't do a keg stand?

Speaker 7 (19:16):
Though?

Speaker 4 (19:19):
What's a keg stand?

Speaker 6 (19:20):
Handstand on a keg?

Speaker 4 (19:22):
Who does that?

Speaker 6 (19:23):
It's in American movies.

Speaker 8 (19:25):
Frat houses doing I've never actually seen it in person,
but they drink from the keg while doing a handstand.

Speaker 7 (19:31):
Drinking while doing it on the keg.

Speaker 5 (19:34):
You get the tube and.

Speaker 6 (19:36):
Your oh my goodness.

Speaker 5 (19:38):
Yeah, handstand?

Speaker 6 (19:40):
What's put in that drinking it?

Speaker 3 (19:43):
That was your explanation to that point, a handstand on
a keg. You're right, you've answered the question, why why
would you do that?

Speaker 4 (19:50):
What do we need? No one, by the way, had
anything this morning in spot.

Speaker 7 (19:54):
Of you know, for the record, delicious, you did go wild.
You're right, beth the juries.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
What do we need to know? In the news this.

Speaker 7 (20:02):
After well, the first of five Boeing seven three sevens
thrown flown rather by Bonza up until last week have
left the country after being repossessed by their owners. The
jet to being taken back to the United States, says
BONSA has failed to make lease payments ahead of its
grounding last week. Andy four percent of all workers are
now using artificial intelligence in the workplace. New Microsoft data

(20:26):
has found nine in ten of those workers believe AI
is making their workload more manageable. Interesting and Boy Scouts
in the US is rebranding. The organization, now calling itself
Scouting America in a bit to be more inclusive. But
they're a little bit behind the times, I guess, with
the Australian organization actually dropping the word boy from its

(20:47):
name back in nineteen seventy one.

Speaker 6 (20:50):
Yeah, I've never known it to be Boy Scouts. I've
always known it to be Scouts.

Speaker 8 (20:53):
My niece does Scouts, loves it, does all the camping
and adventures.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
It's such a bast What do they have in America
for the girls?

Speaker 5 (21:03):
Girl guards?

Speaker 4 (21:04):
Oh, girl guard, girl guides? That's right, yes, And didn't
we have the Brownies? Take that as a no. I
thought girl Scouts in the seventies were brownies.

Speaker 8 (21:20):
Oh well, wait, you're talking to two people who weren't
alive in the seventies.

Speaker 4 (21:23):
But Lewis is telling us that the.

Speaker 5 (21:25):
Girl or a brownie.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
That's right. They're some confusion.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
You were saying that the boy Scouts finished in you know,
changed their name in nineteen seventy one, So why were
they not just scouts? I love that the Americans have
resisted the tide of change for what more than fifty
years and then still.

Speaker 4 (21:45):
Couldn't just go Scouts.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
They had to come up with an even more complicated name.
So America Scouting America. Right, Well, welcome to twenty twenty
four America.

Speaker 4 (21:54):
Great tap, yes, great dad, Trudo Wraco. So it all
pumped up? Who's with me? Did you drink?

Speaker 3 (22:05):
It's like pseudo echo, and the brownies are from another
world to you too.

Speaker 4 (22:11):
Don't get one another.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Your podcast camera wrapped.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
The phone is ringing, Sonya from McGregor. What's happening this afternoon?

Speaker 13 (22:19):
Hey?

Speaker 14 (22:19):
Rod? Just what you were? There was a brownie.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
I'm relieved because I got a lot of blank looks
in here.

Speaker 4 (22:26):
You remember the Brownies? There were the girl Scouts right.

Speaker 14 (22:29):
Yeah, so brown It was brownies and girl guys brownies
with a younger girl.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
Oh girl guys, Sonya, don't tell me.

Speaker 4 (22:39):
Were you a brownie when you were little?

Speaker 6 (22:41):
I was what did you do?

Speaker 4 (22:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (22:44):
Yeah good?

Speaker 14 (22:45):
Similar to the Scouts, I guess, but it was like
girls only. So you know, you collected your badges and
I remember going to this one house to get my
cat badge. And I went to this old person's house
and we had freaky to be honest, like they would
never do that now. He was like a person that

(23:07):
would then say, okay, yes you know about cat, Yes,
you can have your cat badge.

Speaker 6 (23:15):
What a random badge?

Speaker 4 (23:16):
You earn it? You gotta earn that cat badge. Yeah.

Speaker 14 (23:20):
I had other things, and you know I had a
motto and it was almost be prepared. With their motto,
that's it.

Speaker 4 (23:27):
That's a smart one.

Speaker 3 (23:28):
There can be some over complicated, convoluted mottos. Always be prepared,
cat knowledge ready, you're ready to manage a cat situation.

Speaker 8 (23:37):
Not always prepared.

Speaker 14 (23:39):
You know, you had to take twenty cents in case
you want need to make a phone call.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
Of course, sonya, did you ever go rogue with that
twenty cents?

Speaker 4 (23:48):
And spend it on one cent lollies.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
Sorry, did you ever spend that twenty cents on one
cent lolli's at the milk bar?

Speaker 4 (23:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (23:57):
Probably, Yeah, Yeah, there we go. Well, that's you're prepared
to always be prepared to sugar handy.

Speaker 4 (24:03):
So ya, thank.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
You, Yeah, so you're right, Thank you so much.

Speaker 4 (24:08):
I got some tickets to Dandy Cinemas for you.

Speaker 15 (24:11):
Hang on there, I got to give you.

Speaker 4 (24:11):
Those tickets are up.

Speaker 10 (24:13):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
That's our pleasure.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
Dandy Cinemas that are fantastic job friends of the show,
and their premium lounge world class.

Speaker 4 (24:21):
See whatever you like there. Thank you, sonya. And we've
resolved that.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
What we haven't resolved was the beginning of the conversation
yesterday after we had an inside scoop from those who
are currently.

Speaker 4 (24:31):
Employed at Channel ten on the group chat.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
There is some chat internally that there is the possibility
of Paramount, the new or the current owners.

Speaker 4 (24:40):
Of the ten network in Australia. Paramount, you know, they
make the movies in America.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
They're about to be bought by a mob and there
seem to be concerns by employees that financially the network
will decide or the newer owners may decide that they're
better off just turning the channel off, so we only
have seven and no.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
As far as free to air TV in Australia.

Speaker 3 (25:02):
Is concerned, a class does that, well, I guess it's
a government owned channel, but as far as a commercial
free to air and channel ten would continue to stream.
Now this does sound pie in the sky, but a
man who keeps an eye on these things and has
done his time at the networker over the years as
well is on the line TV black Box podcast host

(25:25):
and media commentator Rob McKnight.

Speaker 4 (25:27):
Do you think there's any validity to these rumors, Rob.

Speaker 16 (25:32):
Yeah, I think those employees have every right to be concerned.
And it's funny. You guys have been talking about the
olden days where you could buy a whole load of
lollies the one cent for twenty cents, the one cent lollies.
Well we could be going back to those times in TV.
You guys would be too young to remember. But once
upon a time in Camberri you really only had I
think it was Capital and ABCTV, and Capital became ten

(25:56):
Capital and then we got seven and nine. I used
to work at Prime TV in camp just for the record,
but it's very soon we could lose Channel ten. It's
happening in mil Dura. So in mil Dura they are
literally turning off the signal to the ten affiliated owned
station which seven and win TV run. They run it

(26:17):
as a third channel. Well they reckon they're not making money.
They say they're losing money. In fact, they're going to
turn off the signal, which means Ten gets less money
through affiliation fees and those employees that you're talking about
when you broke that story. There is a real concern
that when Sony and Apollo by Paramount, which looks like

(26:41):
it will happen, it looks like Sony is specifically only
interested in the movie content that Paramount has. That means
Paramount plus would go and the linear And when I
say linears the ones you get over your antenna, the
free tow are broadcast that Paramount global current we own
go by the way, So who would buy Channel ten.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
It's a stunning possibility. And I wonder if the answer
to that question is actually in regional Australia. And I
suppose there's two things to think about. So Channel ten
don't necessarily own our Channel ten here that Southern Cross Osteria,
who are a fifty percent shareholder in this station. But
there are content supply agreements, so those Channel ten stations,

(27:26):
although I'm mortified to hear about Mile Dura, those stations
could continue to take that Channel ten content. And there
are local content quotas as far as the amount of
local news and all ast sorts of things you need
to have if you're in Canberra or non Metro Australia.

Speaker 4 (27:39):
But for Metropolitan Australia this is stunning.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
You're telling us they could go back to what Regional
Australia was decades ago and actually have less channels than us.

Speaker 16 (27:49):
Yeah, it's quite extraordinary, it really is. The problem is
that the Canberra station relies on the affiliation from Channel ten,
so the on tenth supply from ten, so Southern cross
Off Stereo don't do the deals with Paramount and CBS
and all those kind of players to get the content.
They pay basically a rebroadcasting fee to Channel ten. But

(28:14):
we are you know, despite seeing Pie in the Sky stuff.
But Channel ten Chenelton's profit in their last reported year,
which was twenty twenty two, the calendar year, they only
made forty two million dollars and well to us, they
might seem a lot. In business terms, it was a
huge drop. They've had their lowest ratings ever. Last year,
they've had their lowest commercial revenue share, So that means

(28:38):
in the pie of advertising, seven and nine go game
busters and ten basically does very, very badly. There are
warning signs and they the reason they've just got rid
of The Mask Singer and The Bachelor is because it's
just not profitable to do those. The Master Singer is
a short run show. The only reason The Batchels survived

(29:00):
and it's bad ratings is because it was. As I
revealed on TV black Box, it was a deal tied
into the Mars Singer. Warner Brothers, the production company, said well,
if you want the Mark Singer, you've got to bring
you the Bachelor.

Speaker 4 (29:12):
Wow, I know that I tell you this se TV
black Box. Absolutely sorry.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
I m I was going to say we could chat
about this for some time, and the reality is we
will because this isn't the end of the story. We
appreciate you giving the update for the time being, but
there are a million more questions to come. I think
we'll all keep a close eye on it. We'll hear
about it on the TV Blocks, TV black Box Podcast
and we'll chat with you again.

Speaker 4 (29:39):
Rob McKnight.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
Thank you for the time today, mate, Oh pleasure anytime, guys.

Speaker 4 (29:46):
Lewis will give us the news in just a moment,
which will.

Speaker 3 (29:48):
Lead into a game of good news bad news landlords
versus renters.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
Even if you're.

Speaker 6 (29:58):
Not that's always bad news.

Speaker 4 (30:01):
Well, it could be bad news for the for the landlords.
I don't know which way this is going to.

Speaker 10 (30:05):
You know, they say that buying a house is a terrible,
terrible investment.

Speaker 4 (30:09):
Who All of the podcasts that.

Speaker 10 (30:13):
I listen to say that, but I think it's more
for Americans and Europeans.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
The podcasts you listen to also are accompanied by this music.

Speaker 10 (30:22):
Okay, I listened to the Diary of a ceo. He
says that it's bar is a bad investment to buy
a house.

Speaker 4 (30:27):
That's incorrect, that's what he says.

Speaker 10 (30:29):
He's a billionaire and how many houses does he well?

Speaker 4 (30:37):
His property?

Speaker 6 (30:38):
He just doesn't want you to buy it because he
wants it.

Speaker 4 (30:40):
He's he's a genius.

Speaker 13 (30:43):
You guys, you should listen to me more before we
do something, before we go to the little game Landlords
versus Ranters.

Speaker 3 (30:54):
Cool question from you Gabby, and again maybe the answer
it does. How long should you go with a toothache
before having it tended to?

Speaker 4 (31:06):
Why would you not just have it tended to?

Speaker 8 (31:08):
Well, it's been a week and I have this ache,
but it's it's the tooth that has a crown on it,
which means it had a full root canal. But the
roots are gone, which means there shouldn't be any pain
in the tooth because there's nothing.

Speaker 6 (31:26):
To cause pain.

Speaker 8 (31:27):
So I'm questioning whether the pain is all in my
head or if it's actually existing.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
I'm going to give you some advice on behalf of
the male populace of the world, because we use this
with tremendous success, and it appears that you're already on
board with the philosophy. If you don't worry about it, Yep,
it'll sort itself out.

Speaker 6 (31:45):
That's what I figure. But every time I eat, I get.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
A reminder, unless you worry about it.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Who is listening to weird podcasts now?

Speaker 6 (31:57):
Because that is not a fact, that's just men logic.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
Okay, I want you this is this play the music.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
There's a podcast it's called the Sarcasm Podcast, and I
need you to study it.

Speaker 9 (32:08):
Study three's running, Gabby for your.

Speaker 6 (32:12):
Driver, give cameras.

Speaker 4 (32:17):
Well, goodnight.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
Great to have you born. If you're joining us, stay Thursday, Yes, it.

Speaker 4 (32:22):
Is, it is.

Speaker 6 (32:22):
I keep forgetting Tomorrow's Friday's fast, very fast. This week's
sped by its fast. Normally we're complaining by how slow
the week's going, but not this one.

Speaker 4 (32:32):
Okay, well Louis does Yeah, he's gonna picked this up
A three.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
This it is Thursday. It's for It's Powerball night. Sixty
million dollars to.

Speaker 6 (32:44):
Yeah, okay, it's a lot of money.

Speaker 4 (32:47):
Be a bloody good Friday tomorrow. I mean gotta win
the sixty mil.

Speaker 5 (32:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (32:51):
Are you going to show up if you win?

Speaker 4 (32:53):
Yeah? I know we've discussed this and I act all cool,
but you better. What am I going to do?

Speaker 6 (32:59):
Hell, I'll come get you?

Speaker 4 (33:00):
Yeah? What you are you coming? If you're in the story.

Speaker 6 (33:04):
Yeah, Yeah, it's good to have a hobby, exactly.

Speaker 17 (33:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (33:08):
I put in as much effort, probably not.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
Perfect timing.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
If like the rest of it, you don't have sixty
million dollars, and maybe you are renting, or maybe you're
you have the good fortune to have an investment property,
or you just like to reminisce about the times that
you were renting.

Speaker 4 (33:27):
There were some good times, some tough.

Speaker 5 (33:29):
As a renter.

Speaker 7 (33:30):
I like to reminisce about the prices I used to
be paying also as a renter.

Speaker 4 (33:34):
Oh, I remember this, it's not it's a short story.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
I remember when I moved to Dubbo and I didn't
want to over commit, so I didn't get a you know,
like a rental property. So I moved into a caravan
and I lived on the outskirts of Dubbo and a
caravan park for eighty.

Speaker 4 (33:54):
Bucks a week. That old mate, it was so cold,
A good time.

Speaker 8 (34:00):
Hello.

Speaker 6 (34:01):
How long she did that?

Speaker 4 (34:02):
Well?

Speaker 3 (34:03):
The job that I had there was like three month probation,
so I absolutely just wanted to check that I could
do it, and I.

Speaker 4 (34:11):
Lived there for six months.

Speaker 8 (34:12):
Though I would have kept living there, but it'd be
some good stories.

Speaker 4 (34:16):
Good story. I met a girl though, and she seemed
to think we should live in a house. So that
was the end of the caravan. All right, Speaking.

Speaker 7 (34:27):
Of such things, let's play a quick game of good
news bad news.

Speaker 4 (34:32):
Landlords versus rents lord.

Speaker 7 (34:34):
Yeah, I mean it's all it's it's the same result
depending on who you which side you're playing for. So
it's just good news for landlords, bad news for renters.
So report out today has revealed that rents have increased
over the past two years in the capital cities, including

(34:54):
here in Canberra. Collectively, renters are now paying nearly four
billion dollars more a year than they.

Speaker 5 (35:02):
Were just two years ago.

Speaker 8 (35:04):
This is a terrible game, I understand though from an
investment property point of view, if you're paying off that
mortgage and mortgages have just been going.

Speaker 6 (35:13):
Up and up and up and up. But you've got
to recruit those costs somehow.

Speaker 5 (35:16):
Oh yeah, you got to pass some one.

Speaker 4 (35:17):
But it still Sucksikes the worst game ever. Well, in
just a second.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
Again, I don't know if this is going to help
too many people out, but we'll find out how much
one of the marrit At First Side stars charging to
officiate your wedding and what type of blogan wedding are
you're having you have one of the Marrs side stars
officiating your.

Speaker 1 (35:41):
Web your podcast camera wrapped.

Speaker 3 (35:44):
Thank you again to media commentator Robert McKnight for coming
in and shining a little more light on the room
that we heard yesterday. He all but confirmed it is
a possibility that Channel ten, certainly in metropolitan Australia, will
just turn it off as the new owners of Paramount
in America are looking to make movies, not TV channels

(36:05):
in Australia.

Speaker 8 (36:05):
But we were under the impression that maybe the streaming
would continue.

Speaker 6 (36:08):
He is not so confident in that.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
No, And so I got turned to the content supply
agreements obviously between Channel ten, the metropark that has the
library that they go and get from all around the world.
But the Simpsons and stuff like that, and what that
would mean for our Channel ten in camera and people
started getting nervous because Lewis in the last twenty four
hours Mildura announced they're just switching theirs off.

Speaker 7 (36:30):
Can I say, though, in reflection or I guess you
a confirmation of the situation with free tow Are TV
in Australia at the moment. You keep referencing the Simpsons.
The Simpsons aren't even on Channel ten anymore. They're on
Channel seven. It's been that lot.

Speaker 17 (36:47):
TV.

Speaker 4 (36:48):
That's true.

Speaker 12 (36:49):
They had no idea six o'clock Simpsons is not The
Simpsons were going to save Channel ten and and they've
jumped another doll of the conference.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
Time it's all on new neighbors.

Speaker 6 (37:05):
Oh this is terrible.

Speaker 4 (37:09):
Yeah, well that's a good point.

Speaker 3 (37:11):
And look following that conversation with Rob, because he spoke
about a time obviously when there was only one or
two channels in Camera and it could work out for
us better than Metropolitan Australia for a period at least anyway,
and that would be our hope. But I thought, when
was the first one, right, and so I just I
just looked it up.

Speaker 4 (37:31):
In nineteen fifty eight, the Canberra Times, the newspaper and.

Speaker 3 (37:36):
Two CA the radio station got pulled their their money
and their resources and bought the first license to what
would have been Canberra Television Limited. So that's CTL, and
it would have been CTL seven back then. If you're
the camera, if.

Speaker 5 (37:53):
You're THETC seven I think is what it was called.

Speaker 3 (37:55):
Well okay, so the business would have been CTL, but
the channel in CTC.

Speaker 4 (37:58):
You're right.

Speaker 3 (37:59):
The irony because at the time it would have felt
like I will invest in this progressive new technology.

Speaker 7 (38:04):
A radio session and a newspaper investing in this thing
that's probably going to shut down before both of them.

Speaker 4 (38:09):
Stunning, insane.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
It's amazing when you look back and it took years
to obviously get it together until it would have been
again and I've only researched it recently top line. So
sixty two would have been our first broadcast. Can I
tell you what the first broadcast was?

Speaker 4 (38:25):
In camera? Here we go, Here we go. So they've
got the transmitter ready, the first here it is the
first line?

Speaker 2 (38:31):
Did that sound like.

Speaker 4 (38:35):
Glad? You asked?

Speaker 17 (38:37):
The first live transmission took place with the Safety Bureau
Officer seeing your Constable Tam Cooper, presenting a thirteen minute
public service announcement on the proper use of fireworks.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
Camera was a broadcast of live from Fish Week.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
No, we're the older the station where the old studios
were a theme.

Speaker 5 (39:02):
Was Adam Watson.

Speaker 7 (39:04):
This opportunity I think as a housing development now just.

Speaker 10 (39:08):
Where I live because I live in Watson right and
New Channel seven I probably live on top of it.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
Maybe there's an old radio ghost thing. Oh gosh, oh sorry.

Speaker 3 (39:17):
So in that building they invested in all the color
technology and CANbus started broadcasting six months before the official
launch of color television in Australia. And so they were
going to go to the top of mount ainslie to
you know, obviously have the relay points so that we
could all watch TV, and it wasn't high enough, so

(39:38):
they went to the top of Black Mountain. They discovered
the signal was so insanely strong that apparently Queen Vian
were getting it clear as a bell without even having
to put an antenna on the roof, just the antenna
that came with the set. Same story through the Yas Valley,
which believed me is not the case anymore.

Speaker 6 (39:56):
Why that it was good back then and surely they
can make it good now.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
But much to their surprise, apparently Kuma and Goldben, we're
getting Canberra TV. They used to have to get TV
from the Goal and they were actually getting Canberra TV. Say, look,
the history of television Australia is fascinating, but it's certainly
Canberra's because we were one.

Speaker 4 (40:15):
Of the leaders.

Speaker 3 (40:16):
We weren't the first station, so that CTC would have
been maybe the tenth station in Australia. But it is
fascinating and it is a really interesting time when we
talk about television history in Australia, certainly for Regional Australia
and Channel ten of the moment.

Speaker 4 (40:32):
So we're going to keep an eye. We've been getting
to this for a while now at first sight is
over yep, and so the stars go, well, my fifteen
minutes doesn't need to be I want to continue to
I want sixteen minutes of fat. Yeah.

Speaker 10 (40:46):
And you know, people used to just get on Instagram
and make all their money that way, but apparently it's
not happening anymore.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
Apparently they're not getting the same breakthrough.

Speaker 6 (40:54):
So it's oversaturated.

Speaker 8 (40:56):
Exactly, silly reality stars on they're trying to make a
buck and they all too many of them.

Speaker 10 (41:01):
Get their boobs out, got blonde hair, I mean the
same same in the end, right, it's been done, it's done.

Speaker 8 (41:08):
There are a couple of maths who are Masks alumni
who have gone on to do other jobs as part
of the fame that they've created. And well, wedding celebrancy
is one of them where you can have a I
wouldn't say a celebrity celebrant.

Speaker 6 (41:26):
I don't think they're a celebrity. Are they anyway?

Speaker 8 (41:29):
A kind of known TV star be the celebrant of
your wedding?

Speaker 10 (41:32):
Is it sort of like you know Kristin from Kristin
to Night, she's a celebrant in Canberra.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
Yeah, well you'd certainly recognize Kristin if she showed up
at at your wedding to officiate it.

Speaker 4 (41:42):
Yeah, no offense the maps guys, but I wouldn't know.

Speaker 3 (41:46):
No, I've from the TV. Look, if you're watching the show,
I get it. We had one of the farmers on
the other day we cross at the camera hospital.

Speaker 4 (41:55):
Yeah, and he was very popular in there.

Speaker 6 (41:58):
Yeah, the nurses love to getting selfies with him watching it.

Speaker 8 (42:00):
Yeah, you'd recognize them, but if you're not, you'd have
no clue. So I wouldn't say a grade celebrity, like,
it's not Nicole Kidman coming to officiate your wedding.

Speaker 4 (42:10):
She's busy with the movies exactly. That's why I was
pretty shocked by.

Speaker 8 (42:14):
How much this one Married at First Sight star is
charging to be the celebrant at your wedding. And this
all actually came out on Jonesy and Amanda this morning
because they're trying to find a celebrant for a wedding
they're organizing, and they.

Speaker 6 (42:26):
Got her fee.

Speaker 8 (42:28):
This is Lucinda from Married at First Side this current
season that's just passed.

Speaker 6 (42:32):
She was the.

Speaker 8 (42:34):
Lately hippie, Yeah, the lovely older lady who was with Tim.
He was very much closed off, and she was still trying.

Speaker 6 (42:43):
This is a little grab of her right at the
end to just jog your memory.

Speaker 18 (42:48):
What a wild ride on this zippy marriage carch in
my heart, I know I did my best from the
very starch many tears I've shared from hilarity and from pain.
Thank god for the trusty sex coins that kept.

Speaker 4 (43:02):
Me the same. Well, it's she was lovely.

Speaker 8 (43:10):
She was lovely, absolutely beautiful. But would you pay eight
thousand dollars for her to officiate your wedding?

Speaker 4 (43:21):
The wrong person's worth?

Speaker 2 (43:23):
It would be hippie.

Speaker 10 (43:26):
And she's still with her partner. She survived that wild
experiment and she's good.

Speaker 6 (43:30):
Vibes with Timothy. I feel like an article the other
day friends definitely.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
Well then in that case.

Speaker 6 (43:40):
No way.

Speaker 10 (43:41):
I feel like, you know, if someone's your celebrant and
they're spending that much, you want you want them to
be an expert in the field.

Speaker 8 (43:47):
No, not necessarily, as long as they're good at being
the celebrant.

Speaker 6 (43:53):
If you're not, if you're not aware, like.

Speaker 8 (43:55):
A celebrate, would probably go for about one thousand dollars,
but a good one for your wedding, And she's going
with eight eight thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (44:03):
Wow, As we all know, I spent the money on
a trip to America and the guy who officiated our
wedding was a real estate agent in Vegas during the
day and the celebrant at night.

Speaker 6 (44:15):
And he wasn't charged a gram.

Speaker 4 (44:17):
He was not charging Akram. Will we spent our a grand?
Very wisely? I would suggest better than But she's a
lovely girl.

Speaker 6 (44:24):
Though maybe maybe.

Speaker 1 (44:28):
Your podcast camera wrapped what's going on today?

Speaker 4 (44:31):
Lewis?

Speaker 7 (44:31):
However, what are we keeping an eye on in your
news rep Yeah, well, we're a step closer to being
able to use our own cards to tap on enough
public transport across the capital for new demonstration buses are
hitting the road equipped with the new Mileway Plus system
before an anticipated rollout slated for November. One in sixes

(44:51):
are expected to buy a ticket to tonight's sixty million
dollar powerboard draw. And if you haven't bought it yet,
apparently the most frequently you draw numbers are seventeen, seven
and three.

Speaker 6 (45:03):
Who has time to pick their own numbers?

Speaker 4 (45:05):
And do you want the most commonly frequently drawn?

Speaker 3 (45:09):
And then you got to split it? Or are you
that greedy? What are you happy with? You win the
sixty MILLI you know you're gonna have to share it.

Speaker 8 (45:15):
I haven't argue with my husband about this because he
likes to go into the syndicates.

Speaker 6 (45:18):
I'm like, mate, then you've got to share the money
with the rest of the syndict.

Speaker 5 (45:21):
It's funny because my mum.

Speaker 6 (45:22):
And my aunt you like ten ten million.

Speaker 4 (45:25):
I'm like, nah, my mother.

Speaker 7 (45:26):
And my aunty do a syndicate, and they always ask
us if we want to go in. But I'm like, Okay,
my mom's in it. She's going to give me the
money already. Anyway, she's going.

Speaker 5 (45:34):
To share it.

Speaker 4 (45:35):
I don't know. You seem pretty confident.

Speaker 7 (45:38):
How about your last And also when the news today
Ozzie's could.

Speaker 5 (45:42):
Soon have an extra two hundred and thirty.

Speaker 7 (45:44):
Dollars to spare each month thanks to high wages, lower inflation,
and tax cuts.

Speaker 6 (45:50):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (45:53):
If that happens, it feels like the effort that to
make it work, like there's two hundred thirty bucks isn't.

Speaker 4 (45:57):
Just sitting on the table when you get home.

Speaker 6 (45:59):
No, and you always live to your means, don't you.

Speaker 5 (46:02):
Always?

Speaker 8 (46:03):
Even if there is some spare money, you'll find a
bill that it needs to go to.

Speaker 4 (46:06):
It's never spare bill.

Speaker 3 (46:13):
What's the tagline to the gambling ads now, think about
what you could spend it on?

Speaker 5 (46:17):
Is that it just scamble responsibly? Absolutely, Well, that's that
way you could be buying instead. Or there's a bunch
that they when they.

Speaker 3 (46:26):
When they first you know, not pitched when they first
announced Okay, this is going to be the new thing.
I went good, great, because you know these poor you know,
if you're an addicted gambler, people are losing their homes,
They're not able to send their kids to school.

Speaker 4 (46:40):
It's just a disaster.

Speaker 3 (46:42):
But I wonder what level of and I'm sure research
had gone into it, but it wasn't until literally the
other day. I thought, hang on a second, as an
addicted gambler, when the quote think about what you could
be spending this on is said, would.

Speaker 4 (46:57):
Your mind not go to the wings? That's why I gamble.

Speaker 3 (47:02):
That's because I'm spending money because I'm already thinking about
we've just already done winning, what I'm gonna do with
the sixty mel And it's fine because we don't have
that addiction, but it is it's a serious mental illness.

Speaker 4 (47:14):
Yeah, so I'm not saying change the thing the tagline. Yeah,
but maybe I don't know, maybe change that. So I
just thought about it. Yeah, and now Gabby is also
thinking about it.

Speaker 3 (47:28):
Once we got inside one hundred days until the Olympic Games,
I stopped counting because I thought I was so close.

Speaker 4 (47:34):
It's any minute now.

Speaker 3 (47:35):
The fascinating thing is that not all our representatives have
qualified yet. There are those who are still in qualification campaigns.
But the clock is ticking and it's getting very close,
and they need to be in peak performance to qualify
and then maintain that. I suppose to be competing in
their sport in it must be seventy eighty days. I

(47:57):
tell you who'll be able to tell us all about it?
Our next guest. He is the iconic goalkeeper for the
Australian men's national hockey field team, the Cooker Burros.

Speaker 4 (48:06):
It's a name that everyone knows. You know, we have
national teams and we don't know all their names. We
always know the Cooker Burroughs. For this reason.

Speaker 3 (48:15):
No other Australian team in history has meddled at six
consecutive Summer Olympic Games, but the kooker Boroughs have.

Speaker 4 (48:26):
Last games we played in the gold medal match and
our next guest was there. He is Canberra z Own
Andrew Charter good a mate.

Speaker 15 (48:32):
Gooday guys, thanks having me on.

Speaker 3 (48:34):
It's not enough that you're just going for your third Olympics.
We'll get to that in a second. But as far
as being so close to the games, where are you and.

Speaker 4 (48:40):
The team at?

Speaker 15 (48:41):
Yeah, yours a really interesting point in your intro. The
hockey is one of those sports that you qualify the
team and we qualify that the team middle of last
year in an Oceania Cup against New Zealand, and now
we're sort of sitting that point where we're trying to qualify. Well,
the players are now fighting for qualification into the actual
team that we're taking to Tokyo. We are to Paris,
so we're heading off to Europe in just over two

(49:02):
weeks now. We've got eight games across in a Antwerth
and London and that'll be our final hitout before Colin
Batch makes the selections a few days after we get home.

Speaker 4 (49:12):
So you'll be in right, I sincerely hope.

Speaker 15 (49:16):
So if I head out there and then have a
good campaign in euro if I feel like I'll be
in a pretty constant position.

Speaker 4 (49:22):
It's interesting.

Speaker 3 (49:22):
As the most capped kooker Borough in history, obviously, that
carries tremendous weight when we talk about experience and knowing
what to do on the biggest stage when it comes.

Speaker 5 (49:35):
To the sport.

Speaker 4 (49:36):
Can you believe you're looking at a third Olympics?

Speaker 15 (49:39):
Definitely not, you know, I think, yeah, Davut is back
in twenty eleven. That's a pretty long campaign. I've been
the oldest player in the team since the Gold Coast
Comwealth Games, so yeah, it feels like it's been a
pretty long stint. But the body's still feeling pretty good,
so I feel like I'm in a nice place mentally
and physically.

Speaker 3 (49:56):
At the moment, human instinct is to dive out of
the way, and you are one of the best on
the planet at diving in the way. So you talk
about no injuries, but you have to sustain something.

Speaker 15 (50:10):
I've been relatively relatively lucky. I haven't had any injuries
from the ball per se, so that's say nice. I've
had a major hamshering injury in the middle of last year,
which I've come back from. I did have one particularly
scary incident back when I was a younger goalkeeper when
I was playing for what was the Camp of Lakers
back then, where I got a ball that got under
the helmet and hit me in the throne just to

(50:30):
the side of the wind pipe. Another in cross that
could have been a pretty awkward few minutes as we
were waiting for emergency services, but dodge the proverbial bullet
there and quickly changed my equipment to remove that vulnerability.

Speaker 6 (50:46):
Oh my goodness, that would have been so scary.

Speaker 15 (50:49):
Yeah, it was. That was definitely the most scary period
of my career.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
You put a post up at the start of the
year that captured the attention of the Australian sporting and
probably more broadly just just Australia. We were stunned that
the Kooka bars one of the most iconic Australian teams
full stop, didn't have a major sponsor. And I'll be honest,
I haven't seen an update since, so I can't speak.

Speaker 15 (51:13):
I can't speak too much on this, but I think
there might be an update coming in the next couple
of weeks, so stay tuned. You might be hearing communities
about the Kooko Barros in this space.

Speaker 4 (51:22):
I hope soon. The Olympics, what happens.

Speaker 6 (51:27):
If you didn't get a sponsor, you to be able
to go to the Olympics.

Speaker 15 (51:30):
Right, Yeah, definitely we should be able to go to
the Olympics. The money for the team is banked this year.
If we didn't get a sponsor, it wouldn't have changed
the preparations to hear. But obviously us as a sport
would have been in some pretty dire situations as we're
looking for budget in the in the coming years. So
so yeah, it was a pretty dire situation. I think
someone has come to the table, but I believe hopefully

(51:50):
we'll see a name on our shirts when we're in
Europe in the coming week.

Speaker 4 (51:54):
That was a personal place.

Speaker 3 (51:55):
You just put that on your personal socials and it
absolutely took off. Did you have any Canbra businesses or
Perth businesses or people in positions of power, you know,
bounce you a note and go tell me.

Speaker 4 (52:06):
Some more about that.

Speaker 15 (52:07):
Yeah, definitely it took off. And it wasn't just from
you know, the everyday joe who thought it was a travesty.
We did have big companies come out to us and
reach out and get in touch with our CEO. So
it was good to see the Australian public rallying behind us,
and I believe hopefully the news to come. It has
been off the back of that, but yeah, it was
a purely personal post. There wasn't any coaxing from the

(52:30):
Hockey Australia organization. It was purely just me with my
sort of disappointment after being in the program for thirteen years,
seeing that just a big blank space of gold on
our shirt was just a little bit weird to see.

Speaker 3 (52:42):
Yeah, incredible mate, Congratulations on everything so far.

Speaker 4 (52:45):
Good luck with the next bit.

Speaker 3 (52:46):
You know that his Canburans were all on you and
we cannot wait to hear the team announced for Paris.
Good Luck in the next little bit, and we'd love
to chat to you as you're touching down for your
third straight Olympic Games.

Speaker 15 (53:00):
No worries, thanks having me.

Speaker 9 (53:04):
Full camera all day, camera rats with Rotten Gabby six
point three.

Speaker 4 (53:20):
All right for Demian.

Speaker 3 (53:21):
But if you're joining us for the first time this afternoon,
I have an announcement.

Speaker 4 (53:24):
Okay, go to the news agent's go now.

Speaker 6 (53:30):
Wouldn't they be shot at five.

Speaker 3 (53:32):
If you're in If you're a news agency and you're
shut now with sixty million dollars on powerable tonight, open back.

Speaker 4 (53:42):
Up, good announcement, money for jam. Everyone's going, oh the Really,
I haven't got the ticket.

Speaker 8 (53:48):
Honestly, I texted my husband this morning, did you get powers?

Speaker 6 (53:51):
I forgot. I'm like, I'll go before work. Then I
texted him, I forgot.

Speaker 4 (53:55):
I mean you can do it all online these days.

Speaker 5 (53:57):
I've got yeh.

Speaker 6 (53:58):
Yeah, I've got the app.

Speaker 8 (53:59):
Care for what card you attached to it, though, because
if you do a credit card, well mine, anyway, I
did my credit card. It classed it as a cash
advance on the credit card, and it charges your fee
for me.

Speaker 6 (54:12):
Anyway. Maybe it's just my bank figuring out how to
charge me extra.

Speaker 4 (54:15):
Yeah, it sounds like a you bank are your bank.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
I don't think it's.

Speaker 8 (54:18):
Something to do with credit cards and gambling, like it's a
cash advance because you don't want to put on credit
or something along that.

Speaker 6 (54:25):
Anyway, As I said, just be careful going.

Speaker 4 (54:28):
To the news agency going now.

Speaker 3 (54:30):
I we were going for a walk in Manica a
couple of weekends ago, my daughter's and I and you
know how.

Speaker 4 (54:39):
There's that news agency next to you know where.

Speaker 5 (54:42):
The grilled the burger place is.

Speaker 3 (54:44):
Yes, so we sat on a a bench in front
of the news agency, and they looked at it, and
they looked at it.

Speaker 4 (54:52):
And they turned to me and they said, what is that.

Speaker 3 (54:57):
It's a news agency?

Speaker 6 (54:59):
Se magazines, kids, what's a magazine?

Speaker 4 (55:02):
That was the conversation.

Speaker 3 (55:04):
And then we go across the street and go to
the movies in the cinema and I turned around and
it was.

Speaker 4 (55:08):
Leveled, right.

Speaker 6 (55:10):
I still love the Manica Cinema.

Speaker 3 (55:12):
The great thing about the Manica Cinema, I mean, when
was the last time we went to the movies in
the Manic Cinema. I assume pre COVID probably didn't go
into the movies there since twenty nineteen, but thereabout they
didn't open up again afterwards.

Speaker 4 (55:24):
Today they were closed for a long time. It's a blur.

Speaker 3 (55:28):
Yeah, up until the very last movie I saw in there,
which would have been Aquaman or One of Memory or
one of the Minion's movie t I remember it. It
doesn't matter, it's I remember it because they never changed
from the eighties.

Speaker 4 (55:47):
Acorn, the brass, hands railing. So great about it was
That's what I loved it.

Speaker 3 (55:53):
I got to I get to feel like I was going,
you know, when you went.

Speaker 4 (55:57):
To the when I went to the movies in the eighties,
it was a big deal.

Speaker 3 (55:59):
It was a school holiday deal and there was huge
build up toold.

Speaker 6 (56:02):
Dress up a special occasion well.

Speaker 4 (56:05):
To see a movie. Then it was it was generally
Sunday night. Sunday night was movie night.

Speaker 3 (56:09):
The TV networks would play a movie and they'd start
by giving you maybe twenty minutes without an ad break,
and then by the end they were just slamming those
ad breaks in there every five minutes because they knew
they'd had you for two hours, and you had to
see what happened, you know, you got to coach the killer.
And so the experience was very different. And so from
a nostalgic point of view, when I used to go

(56:30):
to that Marker cinema.

Speaker 4 (56:31):
I just get I feel like I was going back there.

Speaker 3 (56:34):
You couldn't you couldn't put a price on that. And
even if they did update it, I still would have
loved it to have been there.

Speaker 4 (56:42):
Yeah, but it's gone.

Speaker 6 (56:44):
It is gone.

Speaker 8 (56:44):
The last time I went there, I had brod Berger
in the back well watching cinema. Well, I went to
Broadburger and there was such a huge lineup that it
took forever because everyone loves it so much. Yes, and
so by the time I got the Burger, it was
time for the movies, and so we had to take
it with it.

Speaker 6 (57:00):
Always loves that. Hey, when you smell hot food.

Speaker 4 (57:02):
And they love it. If they have it, you're sitting
there with that dirty looks. Have Broad I mean I
was going to say, have Broad resolved that?

Speaker 3 (57:14):
Because there was always a badge of honor when you
got the Broad because it was worth the weight. But
it was always a weight. There's so many of them now, Lewis.
Have they refined the process?

Speaker 4 (57:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (57:22):
I think because there are so many locations you can
go to, the weight has been dispersed.

Speaker 4 (57:27):
Yeah, okay, not North Side. No, they're not going up
never they have Tangent.

Speaker 8 (57:31):
We started with Powerball, we ended on Broad Burger. If
when did we get here, Well, I'll tell.

Speaker 5 (57:35):
You how many bras because you buy with sixty meal close.

Speaker 3 (57:39):
I'm going to rebuild that Buddy Cinema and I'm going
to put the eighties brass handrails back on the stairs.

Speaker 1 (57:45):
Your podcast camera.

Speaker 4 (57:47):
Wrapped reminded the Prime Minister Anthony Albanesi, joining Kristin and
Nige tomorrow morning with an announcement that he is yet
to reveal to us, but he says you'll like it.

Speaker 6 (57:56):
Did he say that?

Speaker 4 (57:58):
I was implied.

Speaker 8 (57:58):
I'm assuming we'll like it. In otherwise imagine coming publicly
to do it.

Speaker 3 (58:02):
He made an announcement by you know, these comedians they
go on the road and they test material out.

Speaker 4 (58:07):
Yeah, so before they.

Speaker 3 (58:08):
Get to the really before they get to like a
I was going to say a swing state, but as
far as an electric that you know, could go either way,
He goes this in Canra's a lock.

Speaker 4 (58:18):
I'll try this gear on them. If they're angry about it,
I won't take it anywhere else. So maybe it's not
good news.

Speaker 6 (58:24):
I will see.

Speaker 3 (58:24):
We will see tomorrow morning just after eight o'clock with
Kristin and I. Now, speaking of comedians, we are in
hold at the moment, but he's going to be worth
the way. He is one of the great comedians of
all time in Australia. We're not from the TV, from
the radio over the years, has been doing it forever,
the great Dave Thornton. His his on hold music.

Speaker 4 (58:51):
Is this Madonna? What is this?

Speaker 3 (58:56):
If it's not it's the eightiesest thing that anyone's made.

Speaker 4 (59:05):
Oh, then we got shazam. I gotta find out what
this is. Oh I know, Oh no, No, Dave's on
the line.

Speaker 19 (59:16):
I'm going to say that it was also ominous to like,
what have we done?

Speaker 8 (59:21):
The whole music was so enthralling that Rod was disappointed
when you answered.

Speaker 4 (59:25):
No, Dave. I was going to get shazam to work
out what it was, but I didn't.

Speaker 16 (59:30):
He didn't do a picture elevated music.

Speaker 15 (59:32):
It was a priority over.

Speaker 4 (59:33):
Talking about I appreciate how it may have sounded.

Speaker 6 (59:38):
At your ease tune.

Speaker 4 (59:39):
It was very cool, but I didn't recognize it.

Speaker 6 (59:42):
No, it wasn't Madonna, but it was like.

Speaker 3 (59:43):
Madonna Madonna B side. No one's heard, but your management's
gone to you. It'd be great on hold music and
we're off to the races. How are you going there?

Speaker 19 (59:52):
Mate? Well you know two minutes ago. Now it's a
rocky road.

Speaker 4 (01:00:02):
All right.

Speaker 3 (01:00:02):
Well this isn't the start that we planned day. But
we're talking to you now that sounds even worse.

Speaker 6 (01:00:11):
We love that you're on with us, We love that
we get to chat to you. Well I do, anyway,
I do.

Speaker 3 (01:00:16):
I do, And you know I've I've been watching you
for so long. You don't need to be made feel
as old as I am.

Speaker 4 (01:00:23):
But I thought, do I remember day from Row?

Speaker 3 (01:00:26):
And everyone around me went no, no, no, Dave's not
that old. I typed in your name and Rose, and
I stumbled across the video of you must have been
recently watching your very first appearance on Rose and reacting
to it these decades later. Could you believe that when
you were seeing yourself and your early performance.

Speaker 19 (01:00:48):
Rod Frenny Listeners now they're listening to this interview.

Speaker 20 (01:00:50):
If you look it up, I had a haircut, to
quote one of the great philosophers.

Speaker 19 (01:00:55):
You'll see it and go, oh, no, no good. It's
very strange because you'd think you honestly looks like I'm
wearing a two pay, which is odd because it was
two thousand and eight. And look, I think there's some
more old gags. It's just a very poor choice in
fashion for the time. Even for the time. It looks

(01:01:16):
like my chemical romance on the stage and decided to
tell some gags.

Speaker 3 (01:01:21):
It made sense at the time, I know, and any
of us, by the way, get to think at the
photo album mouth yes, go back to the one from
twenty years ago, and you'll understand Dave's experience.

Speaker 16 (01:01:30):
That's exactly right.

Speaker 19 (01:01:30):
There would be parents out there trying to explain to
their kids, look, eyebrow rings were in What am.

Speaker 15 (01:01:35):
I going to tell you? I don't know.

Speaker 8 (01:01:37):
Our producer was doing a bit of research before this interview, Dave,
just to make sure we.

Speaker 6 (01:01:40):
Were up with our knowledge of where.

Speaker 4 (01:01:42):
You're at at the moment.

Speaker 8 (01:01:43):
And AI told us that you're married to Kitty Flanagan.

Speaker 6 (01:01:47):
Why would AI think.

Speaker 19 (01:01:50):
That I need a profile boost? And so I punted
it into Ai and that's as good as I could get.

Speaker 4 (01:01:57):
Guys.

Speaker 19 (01:01:57):
I was going to go for the Kardashians, but I
thought even would spit it out, and so that's unrealistic.
So I went for it.

Speaker 3 (01:02:03):
I think it's great and people are talking about it
straight away. I don't know if you've come across this
in your day to day. Our producer is tremendously hard worker,
and she's always trying to challenge yourself to come up with,
you know, new things and embrace new technology.

Speaker 4 (01:02:18):
But I do have skepticism.

Speaker 3 (01:02:20):
Around her embracing what's this chat GPCT and so we're
going into interviews with some inaccurate information.

Speaker 4 (01:02:28):
Gavegitable questions. Gaby caught that one early, but things can
go wrong. Have you tried any of this AI business? No?
But I do now.

Speaker 20 (01:02:35):
Want to go back over some of the shows you've
had when Anthony ALBINIZI is in and they're like, according
to chat GPT, you've been sleeping.

Speaker 4 (01:02:45):
With Donald Trump.

Speaker 15 (01:02:46):
I don't know this has worked out well.

Speaker 8 (01:02:49):
No, well, speaking of being a dad to young girls,
you've done a lot of comedy around that, and there's one.

Speaker 6 (01:02:57):
Bit that really struck a chord with me because I
at the.

Speaker 8 (01:03:00):
Moment, I'm obsessed with the techno version of the Wiggle songs,
and you were before that talking about how that's going
to be the future.

Speaker 6 (01:03:09):
I haven't listened to this.

Speaker 5 (01:03:10):
I no, No, I'm not culturally behind. If anything, now
I'm way.

Speaker 21 (01:03:13):
In front because I now know the songs that will
be ironically dropped in DJ sets in twenty years time. Yeah,
my girls will be just there with the DJ one
hundred and eighty bpms in their face.

Speaker 3 (01:03:24):
Just Bluie, you're a visionary.

Speaker 19 (01:03:32):
I hope none of the I know they make a
lot of money there, Blue, I hope I'm not encroased
in any copyrighteas.

Speaker 4 (01:03:38):
You've given them an idea that is going to be
released by the Inn next week.

Speaker 19 (01:03:41):
Yep, yeah, I feel if it is okay. Now the
tables of the position.

Speaker 3 (01:03:46):
Please, just speaking of before I let you go, speaking
of those paydays, tell us when a billionaire flies you
halfway around the world for a twenty minute set in
the US, what do you ask for that, guys?

Speaker 19 (01:04:02):
I mean, that's just between you and me. Off air,
it was, I mean, that was one of the strangest
gigs I ever did, where, yes, the billionaires in the
US wanted me to perform because I think Jim Jefferies
was very I mean he's a very good comedian now,
but he really became huge around that time with that
gun control bit.

Speaker 4 (01:04:22):
Do you remember that iconic.

Speaker 19 (01:04:26):
Yeah, and that it went viral And then so weirdly,
this billionaire, his wife was from Australia. She lived here
for the first twenty years of her life and it
was her birthday and she wanted I was e comic, YadA,
YADDA long story short, I turn up. And it was
weird because it was twenty minutes to stand up comedy
to people who were seventy years old plus and billionaires
and so ga can you imagine getting up? They were like,

(01:04:48):
we just spoke about you know, it's just Blui's a
lot of it, and they're like, we just bought Angola.
I don't know what you're talking about. And they got
nothing to connect with me on. But after the twenty
minutes it went okay.

Speaker 4 (01:05:01):
It was a past of the push.

Speaker 19 (01:05:02):
But there was one particular woman through the set. She
wasn't laughing. She looked furious, and I thought, oh, no,
I'm going to cop it here because you looked disgusted
in me. And then after the set, I sit with
the birthday girl. She's I think she was seventy at
the time. It was her birthday, and she she's like, oh,
it was great, it was great. And this woman walked
over still looking disgusted, and I thought, oh no, she's
gonna say how much she hated it. Tell the birthday

(01:05:22):
girl this ruined my night. And then this woman, with
a pained look on her face, just went that was
really good. And I thought, oh, because of plastic surgery.

Speaker 4 (01:05:30):
That's all fake.

Speaker 20 (01:05:31):
No, completely unexpressive, but not unexpressive.

Speaker 19 (01:05:37):
And I hate to say this, I think bastic surgery
has come along a lot better. But she probably got
it done in the eighties when someone just used, you know,
a glue gun and any thought and the look on
her face it was like I would have asked my
money back on that.

Speaker 4 (01:05:52):
I live.

Speaker 3 (01:05:53):
Yeah, you see expose A's and there's these doctors that
go like to the cell's bar in the hardware. Anyway,
it's a disaster, Dave. So cool to chat with you today.
We can't wait to see you. We'll get in the
car go up the road.

Speaker 4 (01:06:05):
The Sydney Comedy Comedy Festival it's on at the moment
and we can get your tickets Sydneycomedyfest dot com dot au.
Nothing's Unpossible is the name.

Speaker 3 (01:06:14):
Of the show tomorrow and Saturday as well, so you'll
need to be quick and there's only a few tickets left,
so get your skates on the Great Dave Thornton.

Speaker 4 (01:06:21):
Thank you mate.

Speaker 19 (01:06:23):
Considering where it started, wonderful.

Speaker 4 (01:06:27):
We set the bar low at the start just to
its sounded accidental, didn't.

Speaker 5 (01:06:32):
It, But I love it.

Speaker 19 (01:06:33):
Trade to me and Kevin Kane, I think it's a
good way to interview people.

Speaker 4 (01:06:37):
You are working as hard as that billionaire's gig minus.

Speaker 3 (01:06:40):
The billion dollar beday. Thank you brother, good luck this weekend.
We'll see you when you're in canvas soon. No, thank God.

Speaker 4 (01:06:48):
Bye sounded distracted for a moment. It's because I was.

Speaker 3 (01:06:51):
I went back to the start of the interview, the
recording that will be on the podcast with Dave Thornton from.

Speaker 4 (01:06:57):
A few minutes ago.

Speaker 3 (01:06:59):
And I don't know if you heard we were on hold,
you know, because we were just a little bit early,
and I wanted to know what the song was that
was on hold. So I got my Shazam and just
as I went to press the button so it could
tell me what it was, Dave came on and I
involuntarily went, oh, no, yeah, And so that's how the
interview began, with Dave knowing that he was playing second

(01:07:23):
fiddle to on hold music.

Speaker 5 (01:07:25):
Did you find out the song?

Speaker 4 (01:07:26):
It was Madonna? Madonna with her song think of Me?
Madonna Think of Me?

Speaker 6 (01:07:34):
Is that a song you recall?

Speaker 8 (01:07:36):
It's very eighties your time, but it is Madonna.

Speaker 4 (01:07:40):
Now there's a Veronica's song think of Me, but that's
not it.

Speaker 8 (01:07:43):
I don't think this is a very common Madonna song
because it's not one that I recognized.

Speaker 3 (01:07:48):
We didn't recognize it, did we, Now? Madonna Think of Me?

Speaker 4 (01:07:51):
Was it a B side and something. Why was it
on hold on this It was.

Speaker 6 (01:07:55):
A great song, That's why they knew that would be intrigued.

Speaker 3 (01:07:58):
It was so iconically a Sammy Chad's cheas you have
to pay for hold music.

Speaker 5 (01:08:02):
It's maybe it's cheap because it's not one of the.

Speaker 6 (01:08:05):
Ways it's Madonna, but it's not, you know, yeah Madonna.

Speaker 4 (01:08:08):
It's a fartable.

Speaker 6 (01:08:11):
You find her a TK MAXX.

Speaker 4 (01:08:14):
Oh, there's so many think of mes. Think of Me
a song by Madonna from the nineteen eighty three album Madonna.

Speaker 3 (01:08:21):
And do you know there is no link for it
on Wikipedia. That is how inconspicuous this song is. There's
a link to think of Me from the Veronicas. There
was a film in nineteen ninety six. God, think of Me,
there's a million think of Me. What an obscure song.
We were right to be confused. Yeah, anyway, Dave was
a great chat, so CBR rapped wherever you get your

(01:08:41):
podcast if you'd like to check that out.

Speaker 4 (01:08:44):
And that's the name of the song.

Speaker 3 (01:08:45):
If you've been wondering like I have for the last
ten minutes, now, I'm nervous to ask this question, but
did this.

Speaker 4 (01:08:54):
Program almost cause your divorce.

Speaker 8 (01:08:56):
Last night, Gaby, I believe So that was a really
awkward Mond in my house last night, and it's this
show's fault.

Speaker 4 (01:09:03):
So I guess, yeah, go guess I.

Speaker 3 (01:09:07):
You and I reenacted a moment between you and your husband,
and I played the role of your husband in that
reenactment last night, Nap.

Speaker 6 (01:09:15):
He was fine with that.

Speaker 4 (01:09:16):
Oh you did.

Speaker 6 (01:09:17):
You didn't shine him in a great light, and he
was still fine with it.

Speaker 4 (01:09:20):
I gave him a cool American accent to start.

Speaker 8 (01:09:22):
But that's how okay my husband is with the content
we put on this show.

Speaker 6 (01:09:26):
He expects it. He knows we're going to use him
as fodder.

Speaker 3 (01:09:29):
He noticed that there is some unique things about this job,
or whatever your job is, I can guarantee you you
will have had a disagreement with your other half about
something to do with it. Lewis, you and Jackson never
had a disagreement about his work.

Speaker 7 (01:09:46):
At the end of the game text as a consultant,
and I don't fully understand what that is.

Speaker 5 (01:09:50):
So there's a disagreement.

Speaker 4 (01:09:52):
Never understand, do yourself a favor.

Speaker 8 (01:09:55):
Don't understand, right, But yeah, like in this job, we'll
have a fight and I'll be like I'm just gonna
write this down for the.

Speaker 6 (01:09:59):
Show to like, that's the kind of relationship we have.

Speaker 8 (01:10:03):
But last night the line was crossed and it wasn't
until I explained to what happened that I was able
to crawl myself out of the hole.

Speaker 6 (01:10:12):
So yesterday we had farmer Todd on the show.

Speaker 8 (01:10:14):
Oh yes, and he's from farm Want a Wife, And
we were talking to him about how he was outed
on the show was being part of a naked charity
calendar and there was a photo of him naked and
you could see the entire back of him, so he's
entire toush on display in front of a horse.

Speaker 4 (01:10:35):
Good back man who's been working the land. Good Nick.

Speaker 8 (01:10:39):
But because we were doing that story, and because I
had found that, I had taken a screenshot of the
photo from the TV show so I could give it
to Beth for our socials, And last night Never and
I were chatting and he goes, oh, by the way,
you haven't sent me all these photos of Olivia for
me to give to my mom, our daughter, because his mom.

Speaker 6 (01:10:58):
Needs photos of our door for her photo frame. And
I was like, Okay, I'll do it right now, and
I open my.

Speaker 8 (01:11:05):
Photos on my phone and the first thing that is
this completely naked that he does not recognize so good,
And I opened it and it's just this nude guy
and I just start losing it, laughing while going bit
red because I'm like, this looks really bad. And I

(01:11:26):
couldn't even explain it for five minutes because I was
laughing so hard.

Speaker 6 (01:11:30):
So he's sitting there staring at this naked guy, looking
at me, waiting.

Speaker 8 (01:11:33):
For an explanation, lived like, where did you get this
photo from?

Speaker 6 (01:11:38):
Anyway?

Speaker 3 (01:11:39):
The great thing about that calendar, whoever photographed did a
great job.

Speaker 4 (01:11:43):
But it looks like Gabby could have taken.

Speaker 8 (01:11:45):
The front of way I could have taken this pic.
It looks like he's maybe sent it to me because
we were chatting or something.

Speaker 4 (01:11:54):
It looks bad. It's not a selfie if someone sends
you a selfie.

Speaker 3 (01:11:57):
No, but it does appear that perhaps you have rendezvous
with him on his.

Speaker 8 (01:12:00):
Farm and I've taken the ten.

Speaker 6 (01:12:05):
Thank god. When you look closer, Channel seven.

Speaker 8 (01:12:08):
Has got their logo plastered all over it. And so
once I explained him and showed him the watermarks, he
was like.

Speaker 7 (01:12:15):
Okay, it is just a bit of bum Yeah, not
anything too graphics from.

Speaker 5 (01:12:24):
The front, but.

Speaker 6 (01:12:26):
He's just wearing boots.

Speaker 5 (01:12:28):
He's got something on.

Speaker 3 (01:12:30):
Let that be a lesson to anyone who's you know what,
Let's not explore this anything.

Speaker 1 (01:12:36):
Your podcast camera wrapped.

Speaker 3 (01:12:38):
Lewis with the news in just a second. There is
a vapse crackdown. Unless you're a country kid, that seems
like a pretty significant exception. Find out how that works
with Lewis in just speaking of Advanced Joy, we had
that fantastic call last week from the aunt Advanced Joy's

(01:12:59):
ex girl friend when you asked, Hey, have you ever
been haunted by the ex You love that when your
exes are waiting at the lights, your giant face turns
up on the side of a bass and they.

Speaker 6 (01:13:11):
Can't get away from it.

Speaker 4 (01:13:12):
They can't help but not think about it. It was
a long show, so it didn't happening anywhere else, and
so vance Joy's ex girlfriends aren't said one of the
songs is about her.

Speaker 8 (01:13:24):
Yeah, and so every time she hears a song, she's
reminded of her niece, which she actually loves.

Speaker 6 (01:13:30):
She loves her niece.

Speaker 4 (01:13:30):
I said, that's it, We're gett read of this song.
She said, no, no, we love it. I was rip tired,
wasn't it. Have you listened to the words? I haven't yet.
I was going to do a lyrics search away to
the dance. It seems like a posit I love you.

Speaker 6 (01:13:51):
He wrote it when they were together, and.

Speaker 3 (01:13:56):
Then he got popular and he went overseas and did
the dirty that's what the story ros.

Speaker 4 (01:14:00):
Well, yeah, but let's focus on the good party. The
song's days is a rolet lewis. What do we need
to know on the news or in the news rather
this afternoon?

Speaker 5 (01:14:11):
Well, the Prime Minister says.

Speaker 7 (01:14:12):
Australia remains very concerned about the situation in Rafa, with
Israel threatening a ground invasion as part of its ongoing
fight against Tamas. It seems a good work life balance
is the number one priority for job hunters in Australia,
a new survey from Sikh finding it was closely followed
by how much will be paid?

Speaker 5 (01:14:31):
And then the work environments.

Speaker 4 (01:14:33):
Good smart, well done.

Speaker 5 (01:14:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:14:35):
And leading health organizations and experts have come together heading
an open let out to our federal polleys calling for
taugher restrictions around the sale and supply of vapes, particularly
to children. While it's already illegal to sell e cigarette
to anyone under eighteen.

Speaker 5 (01:14:51):
They're saying kids are still gaining access.

Speaker 4 (01:14:53):
Is that what the PM's coming on for tomorrow? That
on b Lewis you'll know.

Speaker 7 (01:14:58):
Yeah, I think he'll be on with Kristin Nigel in
the morning with the mysterious announcements.

Speaker 3 (01:15:02):
Interesting, well, Labor have said they support obviously the crackdown
on the vapes.

Speaker 7 (01:15:07):
Yeah, so this I think, I think off the top
of my head, this is their legislation right, so they
put it in. So we saw the first part of
it with the banning of importing vapes earlier this year.
So there's a second stage of that which is yet
to be debated in parliament. Labors support, The Liberals have said, well,

(01:15:28):
they haven't said anything yet, they haven't declared a position
on it. But it was actually the Nationals that came
out and opposed the idea.

Speaker 8 (01:15:35):
Why why do the Nationals want kids smoking vapes?

Speaker 7 (01:15:39):
So they don't want a man, they want regulation because
they're concerned about a black market.

Speaker 5 (01:15:44):
That was their justification for you.

Speaker 3 (01:15:45):
To remember the country kids have been smoking out the
back of the milk sheds and the bike sheds and
whatever ra the sheds there are in the country. Generation.
It's part of growing up in Australia. So the NATS
need to protect that.

Speaker 4 (01:15:59):
You don't actually agree with that, an't talk.

Speaker 3 (01:16:00):
An absolute BS because I can only imagine. I can
only imagine that makes sense to the Nationals.

Speaker 4 (01:16:10):
How can you oppose it?

Speaker 6 (01:16:12):
There is nothing in that. There should be a posed.
That's just crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:16:15):
Well it lives.

Speaker 3 (01:16:16):
They're still thinking about anyway, if you can, if you
can make something harder, it needs.

Speaker 4 (01:16:21):
To be politics fantastic.

Speaker 3 (01:16:25):
But the Prime Minister joining christ And and n IgE tomorrow morning,
and I love how agreeable we are.

Speaker 4 (01:16:30):
What do you want to talk about? What's talking about? Say?

Speaker 16 (01:16:33):
You know what?

Speaker 6 (01:16:33):
I'm here?

Speaker 3 (01:16:34):
So I do love the element of surprise. I think
if Albow is really leveraging that mysterious thing, Elbow's coming.

Speaker 4 (01:16:45):
What's he here for? That's exciting?

Speaker 7 (01:16:48):
Well, hopefully it's something good because next week obviously is
the federal budget, so they're looking to spend some money.

Speaker 6 (01:16:53):
Maybe maybe maybe it's a stadium.

Speaker 8 (01:16:57):
Maybe they're going to be fund in the stadium. Well, yeah,
it should be a federal thing.

Speaker 5 (01:17:01):
We turned it in tazzy, aren't they.

Speaker 4 (01:17:03):
Yes?

Speaker 8 (01:17:04):
Yes, And the AIS is a federal area, isn't it correct.

Speaker 3 (01:17:08):
They're going harsys in Tasmania. We did say on this
show literally days ago. Hey, Feds, if you don't want
us to be a state and you want to just
stick your fingers in our pie whenever suits you, you
better start getting involved in bankrolling some stuff.

Speaker 6 (01:17:23):
I'm now understanding why he's not coming on our show.

Speaker 4 (01:17:28):
I'd like to think we helped.

Speaker 3 (01:17:33):
If you didn't get to hear the entire show. It's
available wherever you get your podcasts c B wrapped. If
you're listening to that very podcast right now, well done.
You've listened right the way through to the end, which

a dressed girl.

Speaker 5 (01:18:01):
I ain't heard nothing yet. It's time for it.

Speaker 4 (01:18:05):
The parts of the show that didn't make it.

Speaker 3 (01:18:07):
As Beth and He feverishly performs some type of unofficial
sign language towards Lewis, his eyes closed long to the
wrapped rapped theme.

Speaker 10 (01:18:17):
This is because my my headphone battery pack died again
and the.

Speaker 4 (01:18:22):
Batteries are then I can pass.

Speaker 2 (01:18:23):
You you want to know how to do it.

Speaker 4 (01:18:25):
Changing the batteries was a thing.

Speaker 2 (01:18:27):
It's too hard for me and I always do it
the wrong.

Speaker 10 (01:18:29):
Way, you know how, like the things that the different
ends are always get at the wrong way.

Speaker 4 (01:18:33):
Discounts as your story.

Speaker 3 (01:18:36):
We will circle back to Bethini, you need to change
the batteries.

Speaker 4 (01:18:39):
We'll get We'll get there, Lewis, what did we miss today?

Speaker 7 (01:18:42):
There's been a lot of chat today about the demise
or potential demise of Channel ten. I'm hoping maybe they
might still be able to turn things around with their
new season of Amazing Race Celebrity. Yes, so yet to
be formally announced who's appearing on it, but we've got
some leaked.

Speaker 6 (01:19:00):
List of the cast is pretty accurate.

Speaker 5 (01:19:04):
So I forget. Is it Cyril or Syrel from Mats
five years ago?

Speaker 4 (01:19:08):
Yeah? Cyclone Cyrel teaming up with Eden Daily from Love
Island The Relationship.

Speaker 5 (01:19:15):

Speaker 3 (01:19:36):
They grew up on the farm and he used to
see if he could kick the footy over the grain silo,
which he could and very few can well done.

Speaker 7 (01:19:44):
Also, who we know so far Lisa Curry's son Jet

Come out with a new relationship? What's why they're not
naming them?

Speaker 2 (01:20:20):
Joking?

Speaker 4 (01:20:20):
What do you say when you're announcing a relationship?

Speaker 2 (01:20:24):
Now on social there's a launch or a hard launch.

Speaker 5 (01:20:29):
If you're going on TV, that's a hard law.

Speaker 4 (01:20:31):
That's the hardest.

Speaker 7 (01:20:32):
So maybe no one's watching.

Speaker 4 (01:20:34):
That's happened turns out to be a soft one. Shame.

Speaker 8 (01:20:39):
