we went to yesterday because it.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Was a Sony Foundation.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Yeah, great cause that you Can Stay, which is all
about getting people that are not teenagers necessarily age between
fifteen and twenty five, so you're not a kid, and
you're not an adult, and you're going through cancer, for example,
and you need somewhere to stay and they look after
that accommodation near the hospital.

Because run and we're Donald House, which is an extraordinary
organization itself, is for kids.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Yes it is. Yeah, so yes, we'll talk about some
of the fun things that happened there yesterday a little
at half time.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
You're listening to the Robin and Kid podcast.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
All right, The Kiss ninety seventy three. Hleia, Hey, Amy,
Hi Robin.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Here you going good. We've been told that this is
quite the story.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Okay, why do you what question do you want to
ask a lawyer?
Speaker 6 (01:46):
How did my partner get diwarfed? If he can't find
his wife?
Speaker 3 (01:51):
How long have they been separated for?
Speaker 6 (01:54):
She left about twelve years ago and left him with
a five and a six year old and my last
he heard from child support was that she left the country.
Speaker 7 (02:04):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (02:04):
So yeah, just moving forward with him and we're very
in love and we want to buy a property. And
my concern is if she was to turn up, does
she have any claim on anything? How do we go
about him getting dworced since we can't find the wife.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
So she had nothing to do with her children from
the moment she left. No, so she was paying child support?
Speaker 6 (02:27):
No, he just I went to child support. They just
came back and said that she left the country and
there wasn't anything that they could do.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Was she from another country?
Speaker 6 (02:37):
No country Victoria?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Originally, why did she leave?
Speaker 6 (02:43):
Had they had a separation back in the day, and
I she may have really struggled with the parenting side
of things, and so she had asked him to look
after the kids full time, and that was the last
anyone had heard from her. So her children really really
struggle with not knowing where mum is and everything as well.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
What about her family?
Speaker 6 (03:07):
Nobody's had contact with her at all in twelve years.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
So does he have contact with her family?
Speaker 6 (03:13):
He does message her brother occasionally and no one, no
one's heard anything, and they all know to contact him
if she does pop up one day, but that's never happened.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
So no grandparents supporting the kids or being a part
of their lives.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
No, no, there the grandmother is in country Victoria. There's
just been no contact with any friends or family whatsoever
in twelve years.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
So how do you divorce someone if you don't know
where they are or even if they're alive. You don't know.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
Yeah, that's right, that's another thing too. We don't even
know if she's alive.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Does he want any contact with her because of the kids.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
No, that's done now, I think I think that sort
of time has definitely passed. But the seventeen year old
girl at the moment, she struggles day to day with
white in mum leave and what did I do? And
you know where is she? And how could you leave
your children? She struggles daily with.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
That, so finding their mum? Would would you want contact?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Then?
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Would she want contact?
Speaker 6 (04:18):
I feel that everybody thinks that yes, but you don't
want We don't also know what the answer could entail,
and it might be more hurtful when they're not knowing.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yeah, have you tried to find her?
Speaker 5 (04:28):
If you tried to use like a private investigator or
anything like that, it.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
Just wasn't financially able to do that.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
Okay, you know we do have access to a private investigator. Yes,
I know if we were to employee P I dave
to try and locate her. And this is completely separate
from the lawyer and we will get to that, I promise.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Okay, would you want to know?
Speaker 6 (04:52):
I would? I would for the seventeen year old girl,
I would have to run that past her though, and
make sure she had you know, informed, making an informed decision,
but that would definitely be something that I think she
would want to go ahead. As far as my partner,
we're just so in love and everything, so she doesn't
(05:14):
really matter in our lives anymore apart from the fact
that we want to move on and maybe one day
we might want to get married as well.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Yeah, so let's put p I, Dave and that to
one side, and I all may ask the seventeen year
old and let's have that conversation in a week or two.
But right now, you'll question about how do you get
a divorce if the other person is nowhere to be found?
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Is a really good one.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Yes, So one of the best from RMO Law, Brett Trafford,
is going to come in and let us know what
you can do. So we'll do that next. So, Amy,
we have Brett Trafford from RMO Law in the studio
with us now to listen to your question. So just briefly,
if you could tell Brett your story again.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
Yeah, So, I've got a partner that I've been with
for two years and he's still currently married to the
question is how does he get divorced if you can't
find your wife? She disappeared twelve years ago.
Speaker 8 (06:07):
Well, ordinarily, when anybody wants to get divorced, they can
file an application that court a divorce application. The court
will then set it down for a date that's typically
six or eight weeks into the future, and then you
have to serve that application on the person you want
to get divorced from, because the court wants to know that.
Whether they respond to it or not, or whether they
even whether they rip it up or refuse to read it,
(06:29):
doesn't matter. What's important is that you can prove that
they are aware of it, that they've been served with
the application. Of course, if you can't find somebody, you
have no idea where they are, then what you need
to do is two options you've got Basically. Number one
is that you can affect what's called substituted service. So
you can say, for instance, look, we don't know where
(06:50):
this person is, but maybe we know that they have
contact with their mother from time to time, and so
you can serve a family member or somebody like that.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
It's not possible on that side of things, but yeah.
Speaker 8 (07:03):
The other option is you can ask for service to
be dispensed with. We say that look, for obviously we
can't find this person so we can't serve them. But
then what the court we want to know is that
you've made all reasonable efforts to try and serve them. Now,
that sounds like a simple sort of a thing, but
I do know I was involved in a very similar
(07:24):
matter like this a few years ago, and in that case,
the court asked us to file an affidavit, which is
a statement setting out all the efforts that we've made
to try and locate this person. Now, I did a
little bit of research on this recently, and there is
no actual list of everything that you have to do.
(07:45):
The law, the rules of court state that you've got
to make all reasonable efforts, but it seems to me
that a lot of court officers might have a different
interpretation is what that means in this particular case. Obviously,
what you would probably need to do is state that
we've contacted their last known address, we've contacted their last
known place of work. It sounds like overkill, and maybe
(08:07):
maybe it is. But you could also contact the Department
of Corrections in every state in Australia just in case
they're in jail somewhere. Okay, you could also contact the
To be honest with you, I'm not exactly sure who
you'd contact us to see if there is a death
reported in any deaths.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
And marriages the marriages, yes.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Brett. She we had our information that
she left the country around about sort of ten years ago, right,
maybe even contacting Centerlink again possibly they would know if
she's entered the country again.
Speaker 8 (08:47):
I suppose social media is a good one, yep, But
of course it can be difficult to try and serve
somebody with a document. Even if you find a social
a social media address, a page or something like that.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
You've tried that aiming there's no Facebook or Instagram or anything.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
No, no, and we don't know if she's using a
different name now either, So yes, it can be intricate.
Speaker 8 (09:07):
There'll be lots of little parts. So the more parts
you can do yourself amy the less fees you'll have
to pay. So if you can again get evidence by
emails are good, then you can prove that. Look, here's
an email I sent on this date. Here's the reply
I got to prepare an AFFI David, shouldn't take more
than two or three or four hours, So it might
cost you two to three thousand dollars, maybe a little
(09:29):
bit more. AKA again, it's hard to know exactly what
sort of hurdles you'll come up against.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Yeah, maybe take the free PI, mate.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
I'm thinking that I would like to say yes straight away,
but I do have a seventeen year old feelings as
well to consider. Although I have a feeling that she's
going to jump all over it, but I just want
to make an informed decision because we don't know what
the outcome is going to be and how yeah, and
what the answer is going to be of y and
all that as well.
Speaker 8 (09:56):
Yeah, a free PI would be great because a good
PI would we do all of those things on your behalf.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
That's going to save you a lot of a lot
of leg work.
Speaker 8 (10:05):
And if you explained to the PI, I listen, we're
going to have to convince the court that we've done
everything reasonable to try and find this person. The PI
would go okay, and they would probably produce the affidavit
for you, And that's probably the best way to go
about it.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
The trail, Dave, is the best.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
Yes, I've been listening all p I Daves.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Yes, Well, yes, we'll check it with with the kids,
Amy and and hopefully that's that's enough to get your
started day.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Yeah, that's fantastic. Thanks so much Bretton, Robin and Kip
for the advice and yeah, I'll send an email through
it with the decision about the PA.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Okay sounds good.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Thank you so.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
Amazing, Thank you so much for your time.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Cheers Bye.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
You're listening to the Robin and Kid podcast.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
So remember yesterday we were trying to get behind this
campaign for the last game of the year for the
Broncos and choreo it's with a chance to overtake Darren
Lockyer as the number two all time try scorer for
the Broncos.
Speaker 9 (11:05):
On Kiss ninety seven to three with Robin and Kip,
it's give the ball to Cory.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
I turned out in the Storm game last night, there
wasn't a chance to get the ball to anyone. It
was just just try not to let Melbourne score again,
was the main vid G watching. I made it till
about the sixty eighth minute and I was like, I've seen.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Can't do it.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
I can't.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Caston Street was absolutely chockers at like ten thirty. I mean,
I think people were just drowning their sorrows.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Yeah, anyway, sad way to end the season.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
We were trying to pump up our mate Corey, and
we were trying to do it so that he could
break a record and become the second highest scorer for
the Broncos.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Obviously that didn't happen. But we had a.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Couple of people that we sent along with kIPS tickets,
and one of them was Steph and her son Ben.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Hey, Steph, Okay, how are you?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
How was this? How was it?
Speaker 6 (12:07):
We were unfortunately seeing right next to Storm players and.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Storm fans are and they would have been just having a.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Great game, and Ben didn't quite understand the assignment and
was shaking the triflag.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
You said us some audio. This is a little bit
of of Ben Ben step trying to encourage the crowd
and the rest of the team to get the ball
to Cory Sweet. If the team had had his tenacity,
(12:45):
we might have gone all right.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Exactly straight eighty minutes from that, even when the other
team had the ball.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
I love it, yelling out of camp monsters.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
I mean, did you have a good time?
Speaker 6 (13:03):
It was a really really good game.
Speaker 10 (13:05):
It was Yeah, the atmosphere was really good, and the
Bronco team and the crowd was still really pumped for them.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Yeah, and Ben is still screaming into his pillow.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Poor little fellow.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
Next to no voice.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Sweet well, thank Ben for us, and thank you thanks
for heading along and doing our job. Get on your staff.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
You just see this little kid with his big handmade sign,
just yelling at anyone who'll listen. I mean that the
Storm supporters must have been going.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
You know what, Why is this kid?
Speaker 11 (13:38):
Why?
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Why does he want it so much? And he still
does finish his career Corey with the number three triscorer
for the Broncos of all time.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
It's incredible and he is the only player in the
last ten years to be on that top ten list.
Like it is an extraordinary achievement and we love Corey
Oats and he will stay with us for as long
as he wants to.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Yes exactly he might be going for the Broncos. We
don't know that for sure, but he's definitely going to
be with us. Down the track.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Wake Up with Robin and Kid.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
But last night Keith Urban appeared at Lefty's Music Hall
in Caxton Street. It's a really intimate venue houses between
three and five hundred people as kind of there was
a bar and then he just had a drummer and
a guitarist and then a backup singer. One came out
and was the most extraordinary musician. But we learned yesterday
from him that he originally created this album like two
(14:34):
or three years ago, took it to the record company,
started to play it to them, and then went, actually,
this isn't good enough. So then decided to rewrite the
album and as a way of just testing it on audiences,
he's doing these intimate, up close and personal gigs that'school
sold out within like seconds, and he was in such
fine form last night.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
He was chatting away, We're just going to make.
Speaker 11 (14:59):
Stup up as we go.
Speaker 12 (15:01):
You guys did your request and we're not We won't
playing the Did you say you're welcome me? We just
met you love me as well.
Speaker 11 (15:14):
We're getting balcony.
Speaker 12 (15:15):
Love you just said we're getting one from behind as
I'm so back.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
And no sign of Nicole there last night. She might
have been up on the balcony.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
I thought, no, she couldn't be hidden either, like you
would absolutely see. No, she's over in Venice at the
film festival over there. But he of course everyone there
were so many people in the crowd who knew his
song's word for word, like they were absolutely and every
single note of it. And of course he played the
ones we on You Too.
Speaker 11 (15:55):
Nights That.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Cool, right, Yeah, it's funny because you can think, for
a second, I don't know any Keith Urban songs and
I know that one, yeah, so do.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
But he also kept us all happy with some great
iconic covers.
Speaker 11 (16:41):
Leanne left his ownothersn't something right up?
Speaker 12 (16:52):
Broncos are playing just down the road.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
To complete Scottish.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
I never would have bet he would do a Proclaimers cover.
That's just insane Keith Urban doing Proclaimers.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
It was so good and people were yelling out songs
and he was going back in his repertoire from his
older albums.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Honestly, it was such a great night.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
He's such as, isn't he like you can tell you
can just play whatever.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
Oh yeah, guitar solos, yeah, you know, constantly, and he's
really good at what he does. Anyway, it was it
was a wonderful night. Someone was having a crack at
me saying only celebrities get to go. That's not true.
They actually launched the tickets. They just sold out so quickly.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Yeah, yeah, that would happen, And.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
I think you had to be in the know. And
a huge Keith Urban fan to get them.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
But it was awesome the Robin and Chit podcast.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Halfway through the podcast, So yes, the Soney Foundation at
a special event yesterday at Howard Smith Warves.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
It's so fun.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
It's such a howd Smith Wolves remembered when we were there.
It's so crazy that that was just derelic land for
so long and now it's this awesome spot.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
It used to I used to run along there because
wasn't it used during the Second World War?
Speaker 4 (18:30):
As like there were bunkers and stuff that.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Yeah, yeah, because it was.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
In the alcove of the you know, the big ridge
behind it, So.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Yeah, you're going to be bombed, and I think that
was I think the only people that went pasted it
was running training to go by there and go what
is this? How is this so close to the city
and there's nothing here but rubble.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
And now it looks fantastic.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
And they've got like Hellenica and felon the rivershed, which
is where we were.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Yes and so we had the the Sony Foundation, who
is part of You Can Stay, That's who they were
supporting yesterday. And when they have those lunches and I
don't know if there's something about being a parent now,
but I used to. You know, you'd hear someone going
through struggles in life and it'd touch you and you go,
oh wow, that's really full on. But there was a
(19:16):
seventeen year old girl who's struggling with cancer and told
her story on stage. I can't handle it anymore. I
started crying.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Yeah, I just and she was so brave.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Oh man, her story was just incredible and how tough
she is. And then you go, you feel like you
just want to give everything to this foundation because they
look after that they give them somewhere to stay when
they're going through cancer treatment that I don't want to
stay in the hospital and that gives them accommodation nearby
and their family can be there and things like that.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
And rural people particularly struggle with this. And she was
from cans Well that's not rural, but you know what,
I go outside of Brisy. Yeah, so yeah, thank goodness
for organizations like that. I mean, we are our network
and because it's Sony, all of the networks were represented.
You know, we give Raffle prizes and stuff, and so
people can buy sales packages and advertising packages and yeah,
(20:10):
and that money all goes to the Sony Foundation.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
And they had silent auctions and then they had loud auctions,
and of course our mate Terry Hanson did the did
the loud auction.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
He's so good.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
He's just at home.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (20:21):
He last day?
Speaker 4 (20:22):
He loves it.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
And apparently because they do the Sony Foundation lunch in
every capital city, Brisbane tends to get the most money.
And I no small part to Terry Hanson, very good
at it.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Yes, he came and spoke to you because one of
the things they auctioned off was the holiday and the
Mail Dives and Sri Lanka. It was day because that's
where you go first, isn't it, and then you fly on.
Have you been there?
Speaker 4 (20:43):
I haven't been to Shri Lanka.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
I have been to the Maldives in one of those
little overwater purets or whatever.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Beutiful.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
The food is extraordinary is oh my goodness. The buffet breakfast,
you just like you could have one sitting of that
and not eat again for four days.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Nice, so good. Oh okay, that's me.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
But this year you are unique in that way. Oh yeah,
I want to go there one of these days before
it's gone, because it's down underwater. Yeah yeah, and Damie
In performed. She was great.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
I've always did some stuff on my social media about her,
and she came back to me and said, I'm so
sorry I missed you.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
She's very good.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
She is good.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
You know, last year I spoke with who I talked
to about that, because you know, they always have like
a break and you go out and you talk to
all the other people in the biers. Spoke to Liz Cantor.
Oh yeah, and for about say, twenty five minutes. She
asked me questions as though I was stabb Oh yeah,
she goes, you're still with Suzuki. No, she goes, remember
(21:38):
we hosted that stuff together, and said they're going No, No,
it's not me. I mean that's usually what you do.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
So it's true.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
That's true. I can't be too mad you.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Didn't kind of pick her up on it. I'm sure
because you're pining.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
We didn't know you didn't, So they going, I know
what it's like. I'm going to let you get away
with it.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Wake up with Robin and Kid.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Alana from the newsrooms in the studio with us too. Hello,
have you ever seen Alana do her weird hellos Robin,
where you know you would shake hands with someone you
go from with your hand on the side, or your
high five, your holy hand up. She puts her hand
out flat like she's feeding a horse carrots. And then
you have to work out what to do with it.
What do you want us to do without? You know?
Speaker 4 (22:20):
It's crazy? Is I Actually I don't know?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
And I told my friends about it because everybody said, yeah,
you do that all the time. We just kind of
they just place their hand on it and then hold
my hands.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Making a sandwich. She just came out to me like that,
and I was like, keep is one.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Of the first people who has raised it to me.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
And because he just goes, what is that? I'm not
doing that.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
I'm just not I mean, I'll do a high five
or a low five, but I don't know what that is.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
This is actually a good prelude into this conversation because
unless you know it sticks to the rules, it's logical.
Things have to work in a sequence and everyone needs
to be able to understand it instantly, which is why
when it comes to naming it train station, he goes
for the most boring option.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Yes, so Albert Street in the city is the one
they're talking it's going to open in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Oh, I'm not sure exactly what it's opening a bit. Yeah,
so the opening of the new Cross River rail station,
and it's going to be the first new train station
in the city in over one hundred years. They need
a new name for it. All the other Cross River
Rail sites already have their name and they're very simple.
I think Kip will love these. We've got Boggo Road
at Boggo Road, wool and Gabba at will and Gaba.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
It is what it says on the box, Roma Street
at Roma Street. Perfect.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
But now the Albert Street station, they're thinking we should
put it to a public vote. So there's four options.
One of them is Albert Street okay, tick. The other
options are Brisbane City Okay, it's in the middle. I
like that City Botanic Garden station. It is very It's
basically it's going to be between Queen Street and the
Botanic Gardens, so it is very close.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
If you wanted to get off.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Yes, it would be just a quick little skip over
it to the gardens. Then the fourth option, and this
is where it's quite contentious. In this station, Frog's Hollow station.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Why.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Apparently that's what it used to be called, like in
the like the nineteen hundreds, like a long the district
was the Frog's Hollow district. Apparently that's what I was.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Just saying about it. That sounds like something out of
Wind in the Willow.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
It does. And yeah, it's ridiculous. Imagine being a Japanese
tourist and you go, I need to get to the
center of the city. Where do I go? Frogs Hollow Noll?
Too hard easy for people, it is.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Look, it is good that I guess, you know, counsels
and governments are learning and because you know, it's not
like it's just open slather and everyone can put in
mc albert. Yes, yeah, so it's only multiple choice. But
I think they, you know, they had to put something
in there with a little bit of a flourish, a
(24:56):
little bit of a sparkle.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Yes. Otherwise it is more boring.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Is what you want with public transport? I want to
know where I'm going, especially if I'm from out of town.
I want it to be exactly what it says on
the box. No Albert Street, That's where I'm going, take
me there.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
But it's like, where is it evidence Hills Way. I
think Jinker Track.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Oh, I don't know that that.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Is my favorite.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Okay, that's really niche this is that is my favorite
road in Brisbane.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Yeah, track is what there's a driving like a regular cart.
It's a normal road road called Jinker Track.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Yes, the road, and it's very normal, but it doesn't Yeah,
but on the maps it doesn't look like it, so
maybe they only recently paved it. But yeah, I mean, well,
I've never thought that. I thought that's the name of
the road.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
That's so.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
But yeah, I think I think Frog's Hollow. Once you
know that it's there, that.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
It's there, so you're both voting for Frogs Hollow.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
Yeah, much better than the boring other stuff.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
We haven't had a train station there your whole life.
Why does it matter what it's called, because you know.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
I want to know where I'm going. I've already forgotten
where the freaking Jinker Track is. It sounds like it's
in Kakota. I don't think it's in Evidence where if
it had been called a proper Fenny Hills road, you
know where it was.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
I don't live anywhere near there, and I remember that.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Cause it's cute, memorable it's memorable.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Drinker track thirteen one, six fives out number if you
want to speak reason to do this situation or just
buy al on whatever you want to do. The Robin
and Jit podcast, we're talking about this new railway stop.
It's going to be opening on Albert Street in the
city and they're looking for special names, not necessarily just
(26:37):
Albert Street. There's other options.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
There are four, and they're giving us multiple choice rather
than just letting people do Buddy mcboth place.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
That's what you know, train mctrain place.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
We've shown what can happen if we don't have rules right.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
So three of them are very logical and boring, like
botanical street stations cris and Albert Street, or the interesting
one is Frog's Hollow. Now when you google Frogs Hollow,
there is some pretty exciting things to learn about our town.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Being low lying and.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Swampy with mosquitoes and periodic flooding, the area was the
most not the most desirable part of Colonial Brisbane to live.
Being cheaper, the area attracted warehouse developments, housing and businesses
catering to the lower classes. It was both the red
light district of Colonial Brisbane and it's Chinatown with prostitution,
(27:24):
sly grog and opium dens being found in fogs Hollow.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Okay, giving it a bad reputation. I like that about
all fun, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (27:34):
But just to know that it used to be a
real dump, yeah pretty much. Now we're going to name
it after that dump.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
And Nita have been lay what do you reckon?
Speaker 10 (27:42):
Lay it from hollow?
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Your goun frogs? But what about if you're a tourist
and you don't know where you're going, where the hell's
frogs hollow?
Speaker 10 (27:48):
Well, then look a history and have a buddy look.
Speaker 7 (27:52):
Look.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
It will make people research just like I did, and
they'll go, what the hell is frug Hollow?
Speaker 10 (27:57):
And I'll go, okay, let's go have a look where
it is?
Speaker 13 (28:00):
It is it?
Speaker 3 (28:01):
But they won't see any of that. There won't be
any of the hookers or the opian dents.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
We could just use it as as a history history.
Speaker 10 (28:09):
And just throw them in there.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Yeah right, just throw something created just what do you reckon?
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Rather than kip hello, put your head in it.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
What frog hollow will create intrigue and interest.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
People go, oh, it's something that they'll want to find
out what the hell it is? But I get lost
all the time in my life. I don't have great
sense of direction. I don't want to be intrigue head
I do. I don't want to be intrigued. I want
to know where I'm going, Kip. Yeah, this Bank station?
Speaker 6 (28:40):
How old are.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
South Bank Station? Not very old? Is it?
Speaker 2 (28:44):
It's Bolcher Street Station renamed. It didn't exist thirty years ago, mate,
think about it.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
And now they've called it south Bank Station because you
know where it is, right Bolt Street?
Speaker 6 (28:55):
People in their sixties and seventies. No, well Bolt Street
they may not know.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Yeah, well that's right.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
But yeah, we're starting fresh.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
I don't want to start fresh. Thank you, Joe.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
You're listening to the Robin and Kif podcast.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
So earlier in the week we had our boss Drew
come in and tell us a story from a few
years ago when he'd gone and it's on the way
home in New Farm, very late at night on a
Saturday night, he saw a lady of the night and
went over to inquire about some of the services. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
The problem was that he spoke money and she offered
to take him back to her apartment and he kind
of agreed, and it turned out it was an undercover
police officer and he ended up having to go to
court and got fined.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Because the laws at the time that was a solicitation.
It's completely legal now to do what he did, only
in the last month. Yeah, it's still not cool if
you're engaged. Which was another whole side story. But we
ended up talking to Nicky from the Viper Room, who
is a manager there at a illegal brothel, and we
(30:05):
had a lot of questions for her that weren't appropriate
for the show, so we did it on a podcast,
And if you don't normally get our podcast, you should
Robin and Kip on demand. It's got the best bits
of the show and then sometimes extra bits like this.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Yeah, and I just sat back.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
I mean, I have done some podcasts in a brothel
because a girlfriend of mine owns one, so it wasn't
surprising to me. But oh, my goodness, any question that
you have ever thought you would want to ask, Madam
Kip asked it for years.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
It's all on there. And then, just to give you
a little hint of how real it was, at one stage,
her phone was going off throughout the whole podcast, even
though it was like ten thirty in the morning. It
was very, very busy at the Viper Room. And here's
just a moment when Nicky had to take a phone call.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, there's a lot of those.
Speaker 6 (30:51):
Sorry, I have to get this. Yes, do you mind.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
Go for it?
Speaker 6 (30:56):
Welcome to the Viper Room, Ikey speaking.
Speaker 7 (31:00):
Good, How are you?
Speaker 6 (31:01):
I've got Macy, Luna, Reaver, Tyra, Ronnie, Porsche, Pixie, Piare
and Set and Pia here who we got this new Reaver,
Tyra and Piare? Okay, thanks, hello, Sorry, we.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Just love that.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
We just loved listening to that.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
We got all that. Do you mind if we use
that in the podcast?
Speaker 1 (31:23):
That?
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (31:26):
So he didn't want any of the new ones.
Speaker 6 (31:28):
No, he just said, you've got a few new ones
there today. I said, yeah, okay, I'll come on in.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
So that and so much more on the podcast. It's fascinating.
Speaker 5 (31:36):
It is absolutely fascinating because what people are going into
a brothel for, like it.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Is just not your run of the mill.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Just reeling off those names. We've got Pixie, Reaver, Porsche, Mercedes,
none of them. I reckon.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
You're listening to the Robin and Kit podcast.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
I just want to tell you this is the text
message I got at four oh one this morning. It
was from my partner, Naomi. I don't know why she
texted me, but she did so because at the moment
were you in, I was asleep and so I've just
seen I've just seen this, but she was just giving
me an update on how things will go. I guess
you just wanted to vent. So think about this last night.
(32:21):
Would you rather be Kevin Walters in the press conference
or Naomi?
Speaker 5 (32:27):
Film to night?
Speaker 3 (32:28):
She goes our night so far? Ten point fifteen off
to sleep after the tiniest sip of milk eleven pm,
same again, twelve twenty, fell back to sleep while I
was making a fresh batch of milk, one p fifty
onset of three poohs, including a change Matt Pooh. So
that's come out while nappy's off too, requiring a full
(32:48):
change of clothes.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
So how old is CN and out?
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Twelve weeks that she was PREMI so she's still tiny. Yeah,
I think she's what seven weeks adjusted or whatever that is.
And then it's four am. Hopefully she's going to go
to sleep soon and I can get some sleep. That
was her night last night, so she's had what an
hour maybe somewhere in between? Yeah, just like they're just
cat naps at best.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
How do you feel about that bad?
Speaker 3 (33:14):
I feel Yeah, I feel guilty. But she also knows
that I had to get up and come to work,
so she lets me sleep. Although I did, I did
help with the with the three pooh onsot. I heard
her help at like one p fifty because it was
just it was just a nightmare. There's just like when
the nap is off and you're already taking care of
things and there's another one on the mat.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
Okay, so Sienna sleeps in a cot at the end
of your bed. Yeah, how do you sleep through all that?
That's a gift without noise canceling headphones.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Yep, I just sleep straight through that. As far as
I know, everything's going great.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
What did you reply to Naomi?
Speaker 3 (33:48):
I think I just did. I think I just gave
it the exclamation marks, you know.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
So what are you going to do today?
Speaker 3 (33:54):
This life is not no normal. I'll go home from
work and I'll go and I just generally go here here,
let me take that. And then she falls asleep on me,
which is her favorite place to sleep. But it just
means I can't move for you, like I need.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
To do an intervention, but I'm not sure who. I'm
trying to say, we.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Can't be saved. Help, but I don't know who can
save us.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
Like, what do we do here?
Speaker 3 (34:16):
I can't do anything with Kevy Walter's with Kevy Walter's
staring at the reporters going what do you want from me?
There's another I can give you. You've got all the ideas.
What do you reckon?
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Wake up with Robin and kit.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
Hey to produce a cast with the best bits of
the show this week.
Speaker 10 (34:44):
So this may be my last rap.
Speaker 13 (34:47):
Due to the world ended.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
There has been sounds heard up on the International Space
Station strange to speaker. NASA have come out, fun police
have come out and said, oh, it's just the speaker.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Of course they did.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Of course they said that that's what they want us
to believe. What else would they say exactly?
Speaker 13 (35:04):
Hey, guys, thanks kid for freaking me out. Then our
boss Drew let this one slip.
Speaker 6 (35:13):
Past the keeper.
Speaker 7 (35:16):
On the way home from a night out in the
valley back to a mate's place in New Farm, we
spotted a lady of the night. I was interested to
find out some things because I've never seen one before.
So I struck up the conversation and got myself arrested
because it was an undercover police officer.
Speaker 13 (35:31):
But I still reckon I did nothing wrong than that,
So we got a lawyer on to check it out.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
We have Rolia Reagan from RMO Law in the studio
with us Drew's story. What would actually happen today if
that happened again? Absolutely nothing, kid, because the Prostitution Lack
Act has been repealed. Yeah, okay, so the whole the
idea of the solicitation or whatever else is not even
an issue anymore. No, okay?
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Correct?
Speaker 3 (35:55):
And what about your BS filter?
Speaker 11 (35:59):
Drew?
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Just going to ask for the rates and just trying
to get a little look at the menu.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
I'm pretty the BS filter indeed hooker.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
Obviously, you guys like us all called BS my god.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
You know they say curiosity killed the cat, and to
expect if you're just curious watch pretty woman, Drew?
Speaker 4 (36:24):
Were you thinking, my friends? A simple Google search would.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Have sued except for you, Sal I'm with you on
this front.
Speaker 10 (36:32):
What well, I'm from the Melbourne originally and think Kilda
is known for their high amounts of ladies.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
Of the night.
Speaker 10 (36:38):
I guess yes, we used to go hunting for them,
and we got pulled over one day by police. They
actually thought that I was one.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
Can I ask what you were wearing at the time,
Sally that they police thought you were a hooker.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
It's just like.
Speaker 10 (36:52):
They can wear whatever they want to wear.
Speaker 7 (36:55):
True.
Speaker 13 (36:56):
Then we spoke to a lady in charge of the night.
Speaker 5 (36:59):
We can introduce you to Nicky as the general manager
of the viper room.
Speaker 4 (37:04):
Do they come in and just ask the question and
then leave again?
Speaker 6 (37:07):
Absolutely? Oh okay, Dailey, just ask questions.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
Meet the ladies and.
Speaker 6 (37:13):
Then they leave.
Speaker 5 (37:14):
All right. For any bloke that is thinking that this
is potentially a great idea, it is cheating if your
partner doesn't know about it.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Can we be clear on that all I'm.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Hearing is not guilty.
Speaker 6 (37:29):
Switching gears?
Speaker 13 (37:31):
Hailey Biaber got a five hundred thousand dollars push present
from jbbes So Robin asked, Kip.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
Did you get Naomi a push present?
Speaker 8 (37:40):
No?
Speaker 3 (37:40):
We there was what about you, Producer Scottie.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
I don't have Justin Bieber slash Kid Whiteman money, So.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
We thought all hope was lost until we asked producer
Tom So for Jack. I did get my partner a
knifecock diamond ring to match her engagement ring.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
Yeah, and what did you do for Marigold?
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Well, look this is where it changed and like, yeah,
I want to preface this by saying she asked for
this present.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
She wanted this present and not a pig but a
new washing machine. Well, you just can't help some people.
Speaker 13 (38:20):
Our favorite Bronco mister core Oates told.

the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
Please can you do me a favor? Please? Can you

Speaker 3 (39:37):
Oh well, I'll go to b and get her one.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
Please don't do it like that.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
I mean it's spelt like and it's French. What else
could it be called?
Speaker 4 (39:46):
Feel like we need to do something.
Speaker 5 (39:47):
She's literally what three exploding poos Allie heard at one
point thirty this morning was hell, which I did, and
she's not slept and you got what six or seven hours?
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Yeah, I'm pretty well read, even though the Broncos. Yes, yes,
that was a horrible end to the to the Broncos season.
Now we have to award the listener of the day
before we go.
Speaker 11 (40:10):
I've got texts.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Do really understands the class. It's Robin and Kipps listener
of the Day.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
So you can become a listen of the day obviously
by calling thirteen one oh sixty five, or you can
send us a text four nine nine seven three nine
seven three got some great ones three today as well
some other people. Sarah was saying her and the boys
were screaming the entire game for the get the ball
to Cory got people going around them. Of course wasn't
the result we wanted.
Speaker 5 (40:37):
No, definitely not. People are begging us to pick them
to play five words. My partner's fiftieth Christmas is on
Christmas Eve. I need the money, let me play. Yes, Okay,
putting it on our text is not.
Speaker 3 (40:48):
Going to help you. I have don know you do
need to call for the five k wordplay. And I
think Listener to the Day goes to this one because
we were talking earlier on about the Albert Street station
which will open up in a year or so, and
there was some names that have been given. We been
given a multi choice option of names to rename Albert
Street station. Option one is Albert Street Station.
Speaker 5 (41:09):
The three of them are really boring Botanical Gardens Station
or CBDD.
Speaker 3 (41:15):
And then there was Old Frog's Hollow, which is apparently
what the area used to be called back when it
was a bit swampy and was filled with hookers and
opium dens.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
Purpose what it was called.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
So this suggestion comes through saying, well, Albert Street it's
still to this day Brisbane's businessman's red light district with
a large chain middle price hotels on Albert Streets. Around
Albert Street hosting prostitutes during the day for the businessmen
to pop out for us for an hour. So the
Old Frog's Hollow is still the perfect name. Wow, very
(41:47):
good Michelle So who knew? Listener of the day, who
did know? I wonder if that's true.
Speaker 5 (41:51):
And if you are intrigued about what goes on in
a brothel, please go to our podcast because we also
did that this week. Nicky is a brothel manager at
the Viper and she had many things to tell along
those lines.
Speaker 3 (42:03):
Incredible podcasts. That's a Robin and Kip on demand, so
the phones are still running hot. We did say we're
going to run to the end of the show with
our five K wordplate to try and give away the money.
It hasn't happened Monday. Yes, let's double down on Monday.
Let's make sure we give away. Let's guarantee the five
thousand dollars on Monday morning.

five thousand dollars with five K wordplay Monday morning.

All right, The Kiss ninety seventy three. Hleia, Hey, Amy,
Hi Robin.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Here you going good. We've been told that this is
quite the story.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Okay, why do you what question do you want to
ask a lawyer?
Speaker 6 (01:46):
How did my partner get diwarfed? If he can't find
his wife?
Speaker 3 (01:51):
How long have they been separated for?
Speaker 6 (01:54):
She left about twelve years ago and left him with
a five and a six year old and my last
he heard from child support was that she left the country.
Speaker 7 (02:04):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (02:04):
So yeah, just moving forward with him and we're very
in love and we want to buy a property. And
my concern is if she was to turn up, does
she have any claim on anything? How do we go
about him getting dworced since we can't find the wife.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
So she had nothing to do with her children from
the moment she left. No, so she was paying child support?
Speaker 6 (02:27):
No, he just I went to child support. They just
came back and said that she left the country and
there wasn't anything that they could do.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Was she from another country?
Speaker 6 (02:37):
No country Victoria?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Originally, why did she leave?
Speaker 6 (02:43):
Had they had a separation back in the day, and
I she may have really struggled with the parenting side
of things, and so she had asked him to look
after the kids full time, and that was the last
anyone had heard from her. So her children really really
struggle with not knowing where mum is and everything as well.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
What about her family?
Speaker 6 (03:07):
Nobody's had contact with her at all in twelve years.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
So does he have contact with her family?
Speaker 6 (03:13):
He does message her brother occasionally and no one, no
one's heard anything, and they all know to contact him
if she does pop up one day, but that's never happened.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
So no grandparents supporting the kids or being a part
of their lives.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
No, no, there the grandmother is in country Victoria. There's
just been no contact with any friends or family whatsoever
in twelve years.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
So how do you divorce someone if you don't know
where they are or even if they're alive. You don't know.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
Yeah, that's right, that's another thing too. We don't even
know if she's alive.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Does he want any contact with her because of the kids.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
No, that's done now, I think I think that sort
of time has definitely passed. But the seventeen year old
girl at the moment, she struggles day to day with
white in mum leave and what did I do? And
you know where is she? And how could you leave
your children? She struggles daily with.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
That, so finding their mum? Would would you want contact?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Then?
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Would she want contact?
Speaker 6 (04:18):
I feel that everybody thinks that yes, but you don't
want We don't also know what the answer could entail,
and it might be more hurtful when they're not knowing.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yeah, have you tried to find her?
Speaker 5 (04:28):
If you tried to use like a private investigator or
anything like that, it.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
Just wasn't financially able to do that.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
Okay, you know we do have access to a private investigator. Yes,
I know if we were to employee P I dave
to try and locate her. And this is completely separate
from the lawyer and we will get to that, I promise.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Okay, would you want to know?
Speaker 6 (04:52):
I would? I would for the seventeen year old girl,
I would have to run that past her though, and
make sure she had you know, informed, making an informed decision,
but that would definitely be something that I think she
would want to go ahead. As far as my partner,
we're just so in love and everything, so she doesn't
(05:14):
really matter in our lives anymore apart from the fact
that we want to move on and maybe one day
we might want to get married as well.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Yeah, so let's put p I, Dave and that to
one side, and I all may ask the seventeen year
old and let's have that conversation in a week or two.
But right now, you'll question about how do you get
a divorce if the other person is nowhere to be found?
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Is a really good one.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Yes, So one of the best from RMO Law, Brett Trafford,
is going to come in and let us know what
you can do. So we'll do that next. So, Amy,
we have Brett Trafford from RMO Law in the studio
with us now to listen to your question. So just briefly,
if you could tell Brett your story again.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
Yeah, So, I've got a partner that I've been with
for two years and he's still currently married to the
question is how does he get divorced if you can't
find your wife? She disappeared twelve years ago.
Speaker 8 (06:07):
Well, ordinarily, when anybody wants to get divorced, they can
file an application that court a divorce application. The court
will then set it down for a date that's typically
six or eight weeks into the future, and then you
have to serve that application on the person you want
to get divorced from, because the court wants to know that.
Whether they respond to it or not, or whether they
even whether they rip it up or refuse to read it,
(06:29):
doesn't matter. What's important is that you can prove that
they are aware of it, that they've been served with
the application. Of course, if you can't find somebody, you
have no idea where they are, then what you need
to do is two options you've got Basically. Number one
is that you can affect what's called substituted service. So
you can say, for instance, look, we don't know where
(06:50):
this person is, but maybe we know that they have
contact with their mother from time to time, and so
you can serve a family member or somebody like that.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
It's not possible on that side of things, but yeah.
Speaker 8 (07:03):
The other option is you can ask for service to
be dispensed with. We say that look, for obviously we
can't find this person so we can't serve them. But
then what the court we want to know is that
you've made all reasonable efforts to try and serve them. Now,
that sounds like a simple sort of a thing, but
I do know I was involved in a very similar
(07:24):
matter like this a few years ago, and in that case,
the court asked us to file an affidavit, which is
a statement setting out all the efforts that we've made
to try and locate this person. Now, I did a
little bit of research on this recently, and there is
no actual list of everything that you have to do.
(07:45):
The law, the rules of court state that you've got
to make all reasonable efforts, but it seems to me
that a lot of court officers might have a different
interpretation is what that means in this particular case. Obviously,
what you would probably need to do is state that
we've contacted their last known address, we've contacted their last
known place of work. It sounds like overkill, and maybe
(08:07):
maybe it is. But you could also contact the Department
of Corrections in every state in Australia just in case
they're in jail somewhere. Okay, you could also contact the
To be honest with you, I'm not exactly sure who
you'd contact us to see if there is a death
reported in any deaths.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
And marriages the marriages, yes.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Brett. She we had our information that
she left the country around about sort of ten years ago, right,
maybe even contacting Centerlink again possibly they would know if
she's entered the country again.
Speaker 8 (08:47):
I suppose social media is a good one, yep, But
of course it can be difficult to try and serve
somebody with a document. Even if you find a social
a social media address, a page or something like that.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
You've tried that aiming there's no Facebook or Instagram or anything.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
No, no, and we don't know if she's using a
different name now either, So yes, it can be intricate.
Speaker 8 (09:07):
There'll be lots of little parts. So the more parts
you can do yourself amy the less fees you'll have
to pay. So if you can again get evidence by
emails are good, then you can prove that. Look, here's
an email I sent on this date. Here's the reply
I got to prepare an AFFI David, shouldn't take more
than two or three or four hours, So it might
cost you two to three thousand dollars, maybe a little
(09:29):
bit more. AKA again, it's hard to know exactly what
sort of hurdles you'll come up against.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Yeah, maybe take the free PI, mate.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
I'm thinking that I would like to say yes straight away,
but I do have a seventeen year old feelings as
well to consider. Although I have a feeling that she's
going to jump all over it, but I just want
to make an informed decision because we don't know what
the outcome is going to be and how yeah, and
what the answer is going to be of y and
all that as well.
Speaker 8 (09:56):
Yeah, a free PI would be great because a good
PI would we do all of those things on your behalf.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
That's going to save you a lot of a lot
of leg work.
Speaker 8 (10:05):
And if you explained to the PI, I listen, we're
going to have to convince the court that we've done
everything reasonable to try and find this person. The PI
would go okay, and they would probably produce the affidavit
for you, And that's probably the best way to go
about it.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
The trail, Dave, is the best.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
Yes, I've been listening all p I Daves.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Yes, Well, yes, we'll check it with with the kids,
Amy and and hopefully that's that's enough to get your
started day.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Yeah, that's fantastic. Thanks so much Bretton, Robin and Kip
for the advice and yeah, I'll send an email through
it with the decision about the PA.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Okay sounds good.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Thank you so.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
Amazing, Thank you so much for your time.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Cheers Bye.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
You're listening to the Robin and Kid podcast.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
So remember yesterday we were trying to get behind this
campaign for the last game of the year for the
Broncos and choreo it's with a chance to overtake Darren
Lockyer as the number two all time try scorer for
the Broncos.
Speaker 9 (11:05):
On Kiss ninety seven to three with Robin and Kip,
it's give the ball to Cory.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
I turned out in the Storm game last night, there
wasn't a chance to get the ball to anyone. It
was just just try not to let Melbourne score again,
was the main vid G watching. I made it till
about the sixty eighth minute and I was like, I've seen.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Can't do it.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
I can't.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Caston Street was absolutely chockers at like ten thirty. I mean,
I think people were just drowning their sorrows.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Yeah, anyway, sad way to end the season.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
We were trying to pump up our mate Corey, and
we were trying to do it so that he could
break a record and become the second highest scorer for
the Broncos.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Obviously that didn't happen. But we had a.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Couple of people that we sent along with kIPS tickets,
and one of them was Steph and her son Ben.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Hey, Steph, Okay, how are you?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
How was this? How was it?
Speaker 6 (12:07):
We were unfortunately seeing right next to Storm players and.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Storm fans are and they would have been just having a.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Great game, and Ben didn't quite understand the assignment and
was shaking the triflag.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
You said us some audio. This is a little bit
of of Ben Ben step trying to encourage the crowd
and the rest of the team to get the ball
to Cory Sweet. If the team had had his tenacity,
(12:45):
we might have gone all right.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Exactly straight eighty minutes from that, even when the other
team had the ball.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
I love it, yelling out of camp monsters.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
I mean, did you have a good time?
Speaker 6 (13:03):
It was a really really good game.
Speaker 10 (13:05):
It was Yeah, the atmosphere was really good, and the
Bronco team and the crowd was still really pumped for them.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Yeah, and Ben is still screaming into his pillow.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Poor little fellow.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
Next to no voice.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Sweet well, thank Ben for us, and thank you thanks
for heading along and doing our job. Get on your staff.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
You just see this little kid with his big handmade sign,
just yelling at anyone who'll listen. I mean that the
Storm supporters must have been going.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
You know what, Why is this kid?
Speaker 11 (13:38):
Why?
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Why does he want it so much? And he still
does finish his career Corey with the number three triscorer
for the Broncos of all time.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
It's incredible and he is the only player in the
last ten years to be on that top ten list.
Like it is an extraordinary achievement and we love Corey
Oats and he will stay with us for as long
as he wants to.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Yes exactly he might be going for the Broncos. We
don't know that for sure, but he's definitely going to
be with us. Down the track.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Wake Up with Robin and Kid.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
But last night Keith Urban appeared at Lefty's Music Hall
in Caxton Street. It's a really intimate venue houses between
three and five hundred people as kind of there was
a bar and then he just had a drummer and
a guitarist and then a backup singer. One came out
and was the most extraordinary musician. But we learned yesterday
from him that he originally created this album like two
(14:34):
or three years ago, took it to the record company,
started to play it to them, and then went, actually,
this isn't good enough. So then decided to rewrite the
album and as a way of just testing it on audiences,
he's doing these intimate, up close and personal gigs that'school
sold out within like seconds, and he was in such
fine form last night.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
He was chatting away, We're just going to make.
Speaker 11 (14:59):
Stup up as we go.
Speaker 12 (15:01):
You guys did your request and we're not We won't
playing the Did you say you're welcome me? We just
met you love me as well.
Speaker 11 (15:14):
We're getting balcony.
Speaker 12 (15:15):
Love you just said we're getting one from behind as
I'm so back.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
And no sign of Nicole there last night. She might
have been up on the balcony.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
I thought, no, she couldn't be hidden either, like you
would absolutely see. No, she's over in Venice at the
film festival over there. But he of course everyone there
were so many people in the crowd who knew his
song's word for word, like they were absolutely and every
single note of it. And of course he played the
ones we on You Too.
Speaker 11 (15:55):
Nights That.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Cool, right, Yeah, it's funny because you can think, for
a second, I don't know any Keith Urban songs and
I know that one, yeah, so do.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
But he also kept us all happy with some great
iconic covers.
Speaker 11 (16:41):
Leanne left his ownothersn't something right up?
Speaker 12 (16:52):
Broncos are playing just down the road.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
To complete Scottish.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
I never would have bet he would do a Proclaimers cover.
That's just insane Keith Urban doing Proclaimers.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
It was so good and people were yelling out songs
and he was going back in his repertoire from his
older albums.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Honestly, it was such a great night.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
He's such as, isn't he like you can tell you
can just play whatever.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
Oh yeah, guitar solos, yeah, you know, constantly, and he's
really good at what he does. Anyway, it was it
was a wonderful night. Someone was having a crack at
me saying only celebrities get to go. That's not true.
They actually launched the tickets. They just sold out so quickly.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Yeah, yeah, that would happen, And.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
I think you had to be in the know. And
a huge Keith Urban fan to get them.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
But it was awesome the Robin and Chit podcast.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Halfway through the podcast, So yes, the Soney Foundation at
a special event yesterday at Howard Smith Warves.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
It's so fun.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
It's such a howd Smith Wolves remembered when we were there.
It's so crazy that that was just derelic land for
so long and now it's this awesome spot.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
It used to I used to run along there because
wasn't it used during the Second World War?
Speaker 4 (18:30):
As like there were bunkers and stuff that.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Yeah, yeah, because it was.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
In the alcove of the you know, the big ridge
behind it, So.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Yeah, you're going to be bombed, and I think that
was I think the only people that went pasted it
was running training to go by there and go what
is this? How is this so close to the city
and there's nothing here but rubble.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
And now it looks fantastic.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
And they've got like Hellenica and felon the rivershed, which
is where we were.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Yes and so we had the the Sony Foundation, who
is part of You Can Stay, That's who they were
supporting yesterday. And when they have those lunches and I
don't know if there's something about being a parent now,
but I used to. You know, you'd hear someone going
through struggles in life and it'd touch you and you go,
oh wow, that's really full on. But there was a
(19:16):
seventeen year old girl who's struggling with cancer and told
her story on stage. I can't handle it anymore. I
started crying.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Yeah, I just and she was so brave.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Oh man, her story was just incredible and how tough
she is. And then you go, you feel like you
just want to give everything to this foundation because they
look after that they give them somewhere to stay when
they're going through cancer treatment that I don't want to
stay in the hospital and that gives them accommodation nearby
and their family can be there and things like that.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
And rural people particularly struggle with this. And she was
from cans Well that's not rural, but you know what,
I go outside of Brisy. Yeah, so yeah, thank goodness
for organizations like that. I mean, we are our network
and because it's Sony, all of the networks were represented.
You know, we give Raffle prizes and stuff, and so
people can buy sales packages and advertising packages and yeah,
(20:10):
and that money all goes to the Sony Foundation.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
And they had silent auctions and then they had loud auctions,
and of course our mate Terry Hanson did the did
the loud auction.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
He's so good.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
He's just at home.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (20:21):
He last day?
Speaker 4 (20:22):
He loves it.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
And apparently because they do the Sony Foundation lunch in
every capital city, Brisbane tends to get the most money.
And I no small part to Terry Hanson, very good
at it.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Yes, he came and spoke to you because one of
the things they auctioned off was the holiday and the
Mail Dives and Sri Lanka. It was day because that's
where you go first, isn't it, and then you fly on.
Have you been there?
Speaker 4 (20:43):
I haven't been to Shri Lanka.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
I have been to the Maldives in one of those
little overwater purets or whatever.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Beutiful.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
The food is extraordinary is oh my goodness. The buffet breakfast,
you just like you could have one sitting of that
and not eat again for four days.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Nice, so good. Oh okay, that's me.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
But this year you are unique in that way. Oh yeah,
I want to go there one of these days before
it's gone, because it's down underwater. Yeah yeah, and Damie
In performed. She was great.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
I've always did some stuff on my social media about her,
and she came back to me and said, I'm so
sorry I missed you.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
She's very good.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
She is good.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
You know, last year I spoke with who I talked
to about that, because you know, they always have like
a break and you go out and you talk to
all the other people in the biers. Spoke to Liz Cantor.
Oh yeah, and for about say, twenty five minutes. She
asked me questions as though I was stabb Oh yeah,
she goes, you're still with Suzuki. No, she goes, remember
(21:38):
we hosted that stuff together, and said they're going No, No,
it's not me. I mean that's usually what you do.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
So it's true.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
That's true. I can't be too mad you.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Didn't kind of pick her up on it. I'm sure
because you're pining.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
We didn't know you didn't, So they going, I know
what it's like. I'm going to let you get away
with it.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Wake up with Robin and Kid.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Alana from the newsrooms in the studio with us too. Hello,
have you ever seen Alana do her weird hellos Robin,
where you know you would shake hands with someone you
go from with your hand on the side, or your
high five, your holy hand up. She puts her hand
out flat like she's feeding a horse carrots. And then
you have to work out what to do with it.
What do you want us to do without? You know?
Speaker 4 (22:20):
It's crazy? Is I Actually I don't know?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
And I told my friends about it because everybody said, yeah,
you do that all the time. We just kind of
they just place their hand on it and then hold
my hands.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Making a sandwich. She just came out to me like that,
and I was like, keep is one.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Of the first people who has raised it to me.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
And because he just goes, what is that? I'm not
doing that.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
I'm just not I mean, I'll do a high five
or a low five, but I don't know what that is.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
This is actually a good prelude into this conversation because
unless you know it sticks to the rules, it's logical.
Things have to work in a sequence and everyone needs
to be able to understand it instantly, which is why
when it comes to naming it train station, he goes
for the most boring option.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Yes, so Albert Street in the city is the one
they're talking it's going to open in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Oh, I'm not sure exactly what it's opening a bit. Yeah,
so the opening of the new Cross River rail station,
and it's going to be the first new train station
in the city in over one hundred years. They need
a new name for it. All the other Cross River
Rail sites already have their name and they're very simple.
I think Kip will love these. We've got Boggo Road
at Boggo Road, wool and Gabba at will and Gaba.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
It is what it says on the box, Roma Street
at Roma Street. Perfect.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
But now the Albert Street station, they're thinking we should
put it to a public vote. So there's four options.
One of them is Albert Street okay, tick. The other
options are Brisbane City Okay, it's in the middle. I
like that City Botanic Garden station. It is very It's
basically it's going to be between Queen Street and the
Botanic Gardens, so it is very close.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
If you wanted to get off.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Yes, it would be just a quick little skip over
it to the gardens. Then the fourth option, and this
is where it's quite contentious. In this station, Frog's Hollow station.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Why.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Apparently that's what it used to be called, like in
the like the nineteen hundreds, like a long the district
was the Frog's Hollow district. Apparently that's what I was.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Just saying about it. That sounds like something out of
Wind in the Willow.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
It does. And yeah, it's ridiculous. Imagine being a Japanese
tourist and you go, I need to get to the
center of the city. Where do I go? Frogs Hollow Noll?
Too hard easy for people, it is.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Look, it is good that I guess, you know, counsels
and governments are learning and because you know, it's not
like it's just open slather and everyone can put in
mc albert. Yes, yeah, so it's only multiple choice. But
I think they, you know, they had to put something
in there with a little bit of a flourish, a
(24:56):
little bit of a sparkle.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Yes. Otherwise it is more boring.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Is what you want with public transport? I want to
know where I'm going, especially if I'm from out of town.
I want it to be exactly what it says on
the box. No Albert Street, That's where I'm going, take
me there.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
But it's like, where is it evidence Hills Way. I
think Jinker Track.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Oh, I don't know that that.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Is my favorite.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Okay, that's really niche this is that is my favorite
road in Brisbane.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Yeah, track is what there's a driving like a regular cart.
It's a normal road road called Jinker Track.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Yes, the road, and it's very normal, but it doesn't Yeah,
but on the maps it doesn't look like it, so
maybe they only recently paved it. But yeah, I mean, well,
I've never thought that. I thought that's the name of
the road.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
That's so.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
But yeah, I think I think Frog's Hollow. Once you
know that it's there, that.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
It's there, so you're both voting for Frogs Hollow.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
Yeah, much better than the boring other stuff.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
We haven't had a train station there your whole life.
Why does it matter what it's called, because you know.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
I want to know where I'm going. I've already forgotten
where the freaking Jinker Track is. It sounds like it's
in Kakota. I don't think it's in Evidence where if
it had been called a proper Fenny Hills road, you
know where it was.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
I don't live anywhere near there, and I remember that.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Cause it's cute, memorable it's memorable.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Drinker track thirteen one, six fives out number if you
want to speak reason to do this situation or just
buy al on whatever you want to do. The Robin
and Jit podcast, we're talking about this new railway stop.
It's going to be opening on Albert Street in the
city and they're looking for special names, not necessarily just
(26:37):
Albert Street. There's other options.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
There are four, and they're giving us multiple choice rather
than just letting people do Buddy mcboth place.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
That's what you know, train mctrain place.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
We've shown what can happen if we don't have rules right.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
So three of them are very logical and boring, like
botanical street stations cris and Albert Street, or the interesting
one is Frog's Hollow. Now when you google Frogs Hollow,
there is some pretty exciting things to learn about our town.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Being low lying and.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Swampy with mosquitoes and periodic flooding, the area was the
most not the most desirable part of Colonial Brisbane to live.
Being cheaper, the area attracted warehouse developments, housing and businesses
catering to the lower classes. It was both the red
light district of Colonial Brisbane and it's Chinatown with prostitution,
(27:24):
sly grog and opium dens being found in fogs Hollow.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Okay, giving it a bad reputation. I like that about
all fun, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (27:34):
But just to know that it used to be a
real dump, yeah pretty much. Now we're going to name
it after that dump.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
And Nita have been lay what do you reckon?
Speaker 10 (27:42):
Lay it from hollow?
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Your goun frogs? But what about if you're a tourist
and you don't know where you're going, where the hell's
frogs hollow?
Speaker 10 (27:48):
Well, then look a history and have a buddy look.
Speaker 7 (27:52):
Look.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
It will make people research just like I did, and
they'll go, what the hell is frug Hollow?
Speaker 10 (27:57):
And I'll go, okay, let's go have a look where
it is?
Speaker 13 (28:00):
It is it?
Speaker 3 (28:01):
But they won't see any of that. There won't be
any of the hookers or the opian dents.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
We could just use it as as a history history.
Speaker 10 (28:09):
And just throw them in there.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Yeah right, just throw something created just what do you reckon?
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Rather than kip hello, put your head in it.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
What frog hollow will create intrigue and interest.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
People go, oh, it's something that they'll want to find
out what the hell it is? But I get lost
all the time in my life. I don't have great
sense of direction. I don't want to be intrigue head
I do. I don't want to be intrigued. I want
to know where I'm going, Kip. Yeah, this Bank station?
Speaker 6 (28:40):
How old are.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
South Bank Station? Not very old? Is it?
Speaker 2 (28:44):
It's Bolcher Street Station renamed. It didn't exist thirty years ago, mate,
think about it.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
And now they've called it south Bank Station because you
know where it is, right Bolt Street?
Speaker 6 (28:55):
People in their sixties and seventies. No, well Bolt Street
they may not know.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Yeah, well that's right.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
But yeah, we're starting fresh.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
I don't want to start fresh. Thank you, Joe.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
You're listening to the Robin and Kif podcast.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
So earlier in the week we had our boss Drew
come in and tell us a story from a few
years ago when he'd gone and it's on the way
home in New Farm, very late at night on a
Saturday night, he saw a lady of the night and
went over to inquire about some of the services. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
The problem was that he spoke money and she offered
to take him back to her apartment and he kind
of agreed, and it turned out it was an undercover
police officer and he ended up having to go to
court and got fined.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Because the laws at the time that was a solicitation.
It's completely legal now to do what he did, only
in the last month. Yeah, it's still not cool if
you're engaged. Which was another whole side story. But we
ended up talking to Nicky from the Viper Room, who
is a manager there at a illegal brothel, and we
(30:05):
had a lot of questions for her that weren't appropriate
for the show, so we did it on a podcast,
And if you don't normally get our podcast, you should
Robin and Kip on demand. It's got the best bits
of the show and then sometimes extra bits like this.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Yeah, and I just sat back.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
I mean, I have done some podcasts in a brothel
because a girlfriend of mine owns one, so it wasn't
surprising to me. But oh, my goodness, any question that
you have ever thought you would want to ask, Madam
Kip asked it for years.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
It's all on there. And then, just to give you
a little hint of how real it was, at one stage,
her phone was going off throughout the whole podcast, even
though it was like ten thirty in the morning. It
was very, very busy at the Viper Room. And here's
just a moment when Nicky had to take a phone call.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, there's a lot of those.
Speaker 6 (30:51):
Sorry, I have to get this. Yes, do you mind.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
Go for it?
Speaker 6 (30:56):
Welcome to the Viper Room, Ikey speaking.
Speaker 7 (31:00):
Good, How are you?
Speaker 6 (31:01):
I've got Macy, Luna, Reaver, Tyra, Ronnie, Porsche, Pixie, Piare
and Set and Pia here who we got this new Reaver,
Tyra and Piare? Okay, thanks, hello, Sorry, we.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Just love that.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
We just loved listening to that.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
We got all that. Do you mind if we use
that in the podcast?
Speaker 1 (31:23):
That?
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (31:26):
So he didn't want any of the new ones.
Speaker 6 (31:28):
No, he just said, you've got a few new ones
there today. I said, yeah, okay, I'll come on in.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
So that and so much more on the podcast. It's fascinating.
Speaker 5 (31:36):
It is absolutely fascinating because what people are going into
a brothel for, like it.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Is just not your run of the mill.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Just reeling off those names. We've got Pixie, Reaver, Porsche, Mercedes,
none of them. I reckon.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
You're listening to the Robin and Kit podcast.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
I just want to tell you this is the text
message I got at four oh one this morning. It
was from my partner, Naomi. I don't know why she
texted me, but she did so because at the moment
were you in, I was asleep and so I've just
seen I've just seen this, but she was just giving
me an update on how things will go. I guess
you just wanted to vent. So think about this last night.
(32:21):
Would you rather be Kevin Walters in the press conference
or Naomi?
Speaker 5 (32:27):
Film to night?
Speaker 3 (32:28):
She goes our night so far? Ten point fifteen off
to sleep after the tiniest sip of milk eleven pm,
same again, twelve twenty, fell back to sleep while I
was making a fresh batch of milk, one p fifty
onset of three poohs, including a change Matt Pooh. So
that's come out while nappy's off too, requiring a full
(32:48):
change of clothes.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
So how old is CN and out?
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Twelve weeks that she was PREMI so she's still tiny. Yeah,
I think she's what seven weeks adjusted or whatever that is.
And then it's four am. Hopefully she's going to go
to sleep soon and I can get some sleep. That
was her night last night, so she's had what an
hour maybe somewhere in between? Yeah, just like they're just
cat naps at best.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
How do you feel about that bad?
Speaker 3 (33:14):
I feel Yeah, I feel guilty. But she also knows
that I had to get up and come to work,
so she lets me sleep. Although I did, I did
help with the with the three pooh onsot. I heard
her help at like one p fifty because it was
just it was just a nightmare. There's just like when
the nap is off and you're already taking care of
things and there's another one on the mat.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
Okay, so Sienna sleeps in a cot at the end
of your bed. Yeah, how do you sleep through all that?
That's a gift without noise canceling headphones.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Yep, I just sleep straight through that. As far as
I know, everything's going great.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
What did you reply to Naomi?
Speaker 3 (33:48):
I think I just did. I think I just gave
it the exclamation marks, you know.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
So what are you going to do today?
Speaker 3 (33:54):
This life is not no normal. I'll go home from
work and I'll go and I just generally go here here,
let me take that. And then she falls asleep on me,
which is her favorite place to sleep. But it just
means I can't move for you, like I need.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
To do an intervention, but I'm not sure who. I'm
trying to say, we.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Can't be saved. Help, but I don't know who can
save us.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
Like, what do we do here?
Speaker 3 (34:16):
I can't do anything with Kevy Walter's with Kevy Walter's
staring at the reporters going what do you want from me?
There's another I can give you. You've got all the ideas.
What do you reckon?
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Wake up with Robin and kit.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
Hey to produce a cast with the best bits of
the show this week.
Speaker 10 (34:44):
So this may be my last rap.
Speaker 13 (34:47):
Due to the world ended.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
There has been sounds heard up on the International Space
Station strange to speaker. NASA have come out, fun police
have come out and said, oh, it's just the speaker.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Of course they did.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Of course they said that that's what they want us
to believe. What else would they say exactly?
Speaker 13 (35:04):
Hey, guys, thanks kid for freaking me out. Then our
boss Drew let this one slip.
Speaker 6 (35:13):
Past the keeper.
Speaker 7 (35:16):
On the way home from a night out in the
valley back to a mate's place in New Farm, we
spotted a lady of the night. I was interested to
find out some things because I've never seen one before.
So I struck up the conversation and got myself arrested
because it was an undercover police officer.
Speaker 13 (35:31):
But I still reckon I did nothing wrong than that,
So we got a lawyer on to check it out.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
We have Rolia Reagan from RMO Law in the studio
with us Drew's story. What would actually happen today if
that happened again? Absolutely nothing, kid, because the Prostitution Lack
Act has been repealed. Yeah, okay, so the whole the
idea of the solicitation or whatever else is not even
an issue anymore. No, okay?
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Correct?
Speaker 3 (35:55):
And what about your BS filter?
Speaker 11 (35:59):
Drew?
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Just going to ask for the rates and just trying
to get a little look at the menu.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
I'm pretty the BS filter indeed hooker.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
Obviously, you guys like us all called BS my god.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
You know they say curiosity killed the cat, and to
expect if you're just curious watch pretty woman, Drew?
Speaker 4 (36:24):
Were you thinking, my friends? A simple Google search would.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Have sued except for you, Sal I'm with you on
this front.
Speaker 10 (36:32):
What well, I'm from the Melbourne originally and think Kilda
is known for their high amounts of ladies.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
Of the night.
Speaker 10 (36:38):
I guess yes, we used to go hunting for them,
and we got pulled over one day by police. They
actually thought that I was one.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
Can I ask what you were wearing at the time,
Sally that they police thought you were a hooker.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
It's just like.
Speaker 10 (36:52):
They can wear whatever they want to wear.
Speaker 7 (36:55):
True.
Speaker 13 (36:56):
Then we spoke to a lady in charge of the night.
Speaker 5 (36:59):
We can introduce you to Nicky as the general manager
of the viper room.
Speaker 4 (37:04):
Do they come in and just ask the question and
then leave again?
Speaker 6 (37:07):
Absolutely? Oh okay, Dailey, just ask questions.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
Meet the ladies and.
Speaker 6 (37:13):
Then they leave.
Speaker 5 (37:14):
All right. For any bloke that is thinking that this
is potentially a great idea, it is cheating if your
partner doesn't know about it.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Can we be clear on that all I'm.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Hearing is not guilty.
Speaker 6 (37:29):
Switching gears?
Speaker 13 (37:31):
Hailey Biaber got a five hundred thousand dollars push present
from jbbes So Robin asked, Kip.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
Did you get Naomi a push present?
Speaker 8 (37:40):
No?
Speaker 3 (37:40):
We there was what about you, Producer Scottie.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
I don't have Justin Bieber slash Kid Whiteman money, So.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
We thought all hope was lost until we asked producer
Tom So for Jack. I did get my partner a
knifecock diamond ring to match her engagement ring.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
Yeah, and what did you do for Marigold?
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Well, look this is where it changed and like, yeah,
I want to preface this by saying she asked for
this present.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
She wanted this present and not a pig but a
new washing machine. Well, you just can't help some people.
Speaker 13 (38:20):
Our favorite Bronco mister core Oates told.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Us this fun fact. If you get one try what
happened to you? I'm equal with LOCKI wow, I said,

all time Bronco. If you get one try, if you
get two tries that I'm beat Locke.
Speaker 13 (38:37):
Yeah, it was time to bring in the big guns
Bronco's legend Steve Renoff.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Thanks, then the little guns A K.
Speaker 11 (39:01):

Speaker 13 (39:12):
Have fun shopping for your push pressie for your sexy giralie.
If you missed anything, you can catch up on on
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
Please can you do me a favor? Please? Can you
please go into.
Speaker 5 (39:27):
Her Naomi if you were not listening earlier. She's had
a shocking night and just it breaks my heart. Can
you please go and get her favorite almond cross on?
Speaker 3 (39:37):
Oh well, I'll go to b and get her one.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
Please don't do it like that.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
I mean it's spelt like and it's French. What else
could it be called?
Speaker 4 (39:46):
Feel like we need to do something.
Speaker 5 (39:47):
She's literally what three exploding poos Allie heard at one
point thirty this morning was hell, which I did, and
she's not slept and you got what six or seven hours?
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Yeah, I'm pretty well read, even though the Broncos. Yes, yes,
that was a horrible end to the to the Broncos season.
Now we have to award the listener of the day
before we go.
Speaker 11 (40:10):
I've got texts.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Do really understands the class. It's Robin and Kipps listener
of the Day.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
So you can become a listen of the day obviously
by calling thirteen one oh sixty five, or you can
send us a text four nine nine seven three nine
seven three got some great ones three today as well
some other people. Sarah was saying her and the boys
were screaming the entire game for the get the ball
to Cory got people going around them. Of course wasn't
the result we wanted.
Speaker 5 (40:37):
No, definitely not. People are begging us to pick them
to play five words. My partner's fiftieth Christmas is on
Christmas Eve. I need the money, let me play. Yes, Okay,
putting it on our text is not.
Speaker 3 (40:48):
Going to help you. I have don know you do
need to call for the five k wordplay. And I
think Listener to the Day goes to this one because
we were talking earlier on about the Albert Street station
which will open up in a year or so, and
there was some names that have been given. We been
given a multi choice option of names to rename Albert
Street station. Option one is Albert Street Station.
Speaker 5 (41:09):
The three of them are really boring Botanical Gardens Station
or CBDD.
Speaker 3 (41:15):
And then there was Old Frog's Hollow, which is apparently
what the area used to be called back when it
was a bit swampy and was filled with hookers and
opium dens.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
Purpose what it was called.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
So this suggestion comes through saying, well, Albert Street it's
still to this day Brisbane's businessman's red light district with
a large chain middle price hotels on Albert Streets. Around
Albert Street hosting prostitutes during the day for the businessmen
to pop out for us for an hour. So the
Old Frog's Hollow is still the perfect name. Wow, very
(41:47):
good Michelle So who knew? Listener of the day, who
did know? I wonder if that's true.
Speaker 5 (41:51):
And if you are intrigued about what goes on in
a brothel, please go to our podcast because we also
did that this week. Nicky is a brothel manager at
the Viper and she had many things to tell along
those lines.
Speaker 3 (42:03):
Incredible podcasts. That's a Robin and Kip on demand, so
the phones are still running hot. We did say we're
going to run to the end of the show with
our five K wordplate to try and give away the money.
It hasn't happened Monday. Yes, let's double down on Monday.
Let's make sure we give away. Let's guarantee the five
thousand dollars on Monday morning.
Speaker 5 (42:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (42:21):
So whatever it takes, right, whether sure, whether we need
to cook the books or whatever, we will give away
five thousand dollars with five K wordplay Monday morning.
Speaker 4 (42:31):
Okay, guarantee. I'm a great weekend.
