Speaker 1 (00:12):
I Heard podcasts, year more Kiss podcasts, playlists and listen
live on the free iHeart app.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
When the lights go out, It's five.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
It's Robin and Kip now with Choreo. It's on Kiss
ninety seven, three, eight eleven. Five are coming to Brisbane
May twenty next year, and we had a chat with
all five of the boys.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
On Zoom Iconic you Kevan five are back with their
original lineup for the Keep On Moving to at Brisbane
Entertainment Center May twenty. Book a tickettack.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
You boys are bringing the energy.
Speaker 6 (00:57):
Have you beat out?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
You had a couple of pints?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
What's happening?
Speaker 7 (01:00):
Yeah, we've been on it all day.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
You're not.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
So boys? How exciting? Back together twenty five years. Let's
just go through the timeline. So you get together in
ninety ninety seven, you have this amazing run where you
seld twenty million plus albums worldwide, including a million in Australia.
The world loves you. Then somewhere around two thousand it's
all over.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (01:22):
So we ended in two thousand and one, and we
feel like the reason why this is working so well
now is because we had unfinished business in this industry.
We jumped off, you know, when we was all having
sort of like mental breakdowns and stuff like that, and
it was time to call it a day.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
But okay, now they're laughing, hysterical.
Speaker 6 (01:48):
Fr mental breakdowns.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah, did he just gloss over your mental breakdown? Just
go on with the story.
Speaker 8 (01:58):
Sorry, so you're obvious normal mental breakdown. Yeah, And then
we had twenty years off and then we thought, why
don't we get back in a room to get That's
exactly what happened, and got back in the room together
to reconnect as friends. And we hadn't seen each other
for a long time, and that didn't feel it didn't
feel right. There was something wrong with the picture that
(02:20):
we weren't in each other's lives. So we're back now.
Speaker 9 (02:24):
A lot of things have changed, apart from our maturity.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Did you end up having to have a conversation about
all the things that had gone down or did you
just park it and say that was then I up?
Speaker 8 (02:39):
And we did.
Speaker 7 (02:40):
We did like sort of say listen, you know when
this happened, it made me feel that, but it was
in a much more mature way and it was just
stuff that was actually really nice to sort of oh right, Okay,
I didn't realize you were feeling that way at that time,
you know, when this was my reaction to that blah
blah blah, And in the end it was it was
just a beautiful conversation, was really nice.
Speaker 9 (03:00):
But at the same time, when we first met, before
I had even thought about trying or anything, we met
in the room for the first time, we actually got
an Airbnb, and there was also just a massive unspoken
bond that you kind of didn't need to say something,
you just need to do. It's going to sound cheesy,
but there was love there, no matter.
Speaker 8 (03:21):
What, nothing, nothing, nothing, all right, straight up.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Guy that now speaking of maturity, because I think we're
a similar vintage and I know for me now getting
up and getting down is not what it used to be.
And a lot of your songs are about getting up.
(04:01):
There's a lot of getting up. There's a lot of
getting up and getting down.
Speaker 7 (04:06):
Don Are the moves going to be similar?
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Yes, are going to be.
Speaker 9 (04:11):
We're not holding back, We're going to be smashing the
routines out loads of energy. I think we've already said it,
and it's not from an arrogant place, but just because
of where we are mentally, which is probably not stables
we've ever ever done.
Speaker 8 (04:30):
I don't think I know they will be. It feels amazing.
So we are giving everything and it will be the
best show ever.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
And if I'm sitting down as part of the choreography, there's.
Speaker 10 (04:46):
Plenty of ice bars and after its performance.
Speaker 8 (04:53):
Do you know that the show that we're doing on
the twentieth is Shawn's birthday in britty Yeah, it's pretty
birth his birthday, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
It is if it can birthday? Should we put on
the fireworks and sort out a nightclub?
Speaker 9 (05:19):
Never in a million years did we dream that. Australia
and New Zealand at Kamombo, so you know, not a
bad place to spend your birthday.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
Can we go.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Back to like your early like forming and stuff, because
in the nineties we loved you so much And yes,
of course, as Kip said, you broke up in the
two thousands. But you guys were created by the people
that made the Spice Girls.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Is that right?
Speaker 7 (05:42):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 8 (05:43):
And yeah it was safe management at Bob and Chris
Herbert who put together the Spice Girls.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
So that's where their genius lies is putting acts together.
They're very good at just putting characters.
Speaker 8 (05:55):
Yeah, and they certainly done a good job putting these reports.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
When you were going through, like through the dramas and
the breakdowns, do you remember looking around and I can't
believe they put me with this guy?
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (06:07):
Oh yeah, yeah, And that was just in the mirror
in my hotel.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Wasn't Simon call then your manager?
Speaker 5 (06:17):
No.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Simon basically went to Chris Herbert and Bob Herbert, who
were the people who put the Spice Girls together, and
he said, we're seeing the sort of job you did
put in the Spice Girls together. Can you do a
male version of It's a Simon was involved in basically
instigating Bob and Chris to do a male version. Obviously
it didn't quite turn out like that kind of musically
(06:39):
and persona wise, but that was what they were shoes
him for at first, so it would have been a boy.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
I always thought Richard is a bit of a MINTI fellow.
I don't know what it means, but it's it's like
a friend or a mink like that.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I really wish a radio audience could see Richie following
that compliment, Richie, you actually lived here for a while too,
are you?
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Because your your your EXO is Australian girl.
Speaker 7 (07:09):
Yeah, so I'm I'm actually dual citizen, so I'm actually
a NAUSI.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Yeah. So when you guys come through the customs, do
you get the short line passport?
Speaker 9 (07:20):
I get the blue past thought always get for some reason.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
It might be the face.
Speaker 7 (07:36):
The check.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Check.
Speaker 9 (07:41):
Can I ask you where you were based or Queensland?
Speaker 7 (07:44):
Yeah no, it's New South did you about did you.
Speaker 9 (07:51):
Please tell me?
Speaker 7 (07:52):
Well, you know, just by default, and I know you're
in Queensland and everyone's going to grow, but you know,
I was living in Sydney, so yeah, but I lived
there at the time when Queensland used to absolutely trounced
New South Wales.
Speaker 9 (08:04):
Still I don't worry, and.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
You guys mind, I know. But Corey here actually played
for Queensland, played a dozen games four queens.
Speaker 9 (08:12):
I've just a couple of months ago I went I
was at this State of Origin in Perth. Oh yeah wow,
and went to a few n r L games and
that's how Yeah, I loved it.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
When is here, there'll be some cracking games a chance.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Yeah, actually State of Origin time awesome. Yeah, Well we
can sort out tickets, but only if you wear Maria.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
Come on.
Speaker 11 (08:37):
Tickets and we've just come back from from Vegas where
we went to saw the Backstreet Boys at the Sphere.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Oh yeah, absolutely incredible. Back in the day, was there
a fun competitiveness you had with them or do you
look back and think like did you used to hate
them back in the day, Like how was your feeling?
Speaker 7 (08:57):
My first memory of the Backstreet Boys is we'd only
ever rehearsed one song that we could perform. We were
invited to go to Holland to do a show It's
called Pepsi Pop and there's like Janet Jackson, George Michael,
Backstreet Boys, and we're doing a song and like we
we just like fresh off.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
The street pretty much.
Speaker 7 (09:17):
I remember seeing the Backstreet Boys and they obviously been
running for like three four years or whatever it was,
and they were so like slick. I remember just watching them, going,
oh my god, street Boys fan.
Speaker 8 (09:32):
I always thought like, wow, imagine if I could be
in a boy band, I would under which one I
would be? Our picnic car. When I got into five,
I remember thinking, I mean, I mean, but.
Speaker 9 (09:48):
That's guy is actually the only one that I ever
wanted to be in. Yeah, A little bit of our
magic that we're just sort of just landed.
Speaker 8 (09:58):
Here all right to the front.
Speaker 7 (10:02):
Nick carteron now has a restraining order around.
Speaker 8 (10:07):
That's actually that's very funny, right because obviously I would
I've met old of the bax Bit boys and not
always like hell, I've not been like oh fan boy.
I was at this. I know, I was at this
breakfast at a hotel and Nick Carter was literally sitting
like there and I'll tell me you stole his Susy.
(10:33):
I didn't. I didn't, I didn't even.
Speaker 10 (10:37):
True stories. Scott did a empty cribs and when the
camera crew and they saw the blow up doll made
up as Nick Carter, I'm just I'm.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
