You don't think you're a musician, But then after that
you just said they do music.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I do music, So another word, you're a musician? No
not okay, what's a procedure.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
This is Roden Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
Fifty million dollars. None of us won the thirty mil
last night Powerable.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
So dak yes, how are we going to make money
in the meantime?
Speaker 4 (00:27):
I mean, you know, without doing our jobs? Aha?
Speaker 5 (00:31):
Well, you could have a sad hustle, or you could
just go through your DVDs or vhs is if you
still own any, because you might have some hidden gems
in there. There's one in particular that people are pointing
out today as a really great resale item. This is
what collectors are really trying to get their hands on.
So if you were to find this among your collection
(00:54):
or maybe in a charity shop collection, if you were
looking there, then you could get like a thousand bucks
for one.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
That's pretty good, right, Okay?
Speaker 5 (01:02):
Is it enough for you a thousand bucks?
Speaker 4 (01:05):
It's enough for me to pay attention? I'm listening. Well.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
It is a very specific Wiggles TV series. It's the
og So the Wiggles first season DVD. It is selling
for a lot of money. So that's like the original boys.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
That were part of it, or the cockroaches.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
Yeah, the cockroaches, Greg, Anthony, Jeff and Murray. And if
you're able to find all three, that's when you're really
in the money because everyone's looking for him. If you've
got them on VHS.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Well imagine worth even more.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I imagine they were initially or originally released on VHS.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
You think so he was.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Two? That's a really good question. And I can see
what they look like here, but they don't have a
year on them. They're like they're very very old school.
The first does it even look like they're wearing the
proper skivvies? It was in the early nineteen nineties. Yeh,
But you know what it is if it's the original.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
So so I managed, I don't know. Do I get
anything for this? Do I get anything for a.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
VHS copy that's online? No? But if I have VHS
taped off, rage of the cockroaches I'm starting that goes
in the air.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Here they are, there's no way nineteen eighty seven, the
boys pre skivvy.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Trying the rock and roll thing. Is this the first
time you've seen this?
Speaker 5 (02:47):
This is the first time I've ever seen this in
my life.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
They look so different, well, they look the same, but
it's that we're not wearing the here it is, let's go,
let's go, let's go, it's all the words.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
Looks so different because they're in normal clothes. But they're
also not wearing goofy smiles, like they've kind of got
the hot boy look going on.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
And they're also like nineteen in the mirror. Okay, so
my very attractive.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
My I'm shocked.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
My vhs of taping the boys off rage in nineteen
eighty seven not gonna get me anything.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Oh my, bye it, I'm into it.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Let's school, Let's school, let's go, let's still in there.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Jeff's hot, Jeff's on the keys, alright.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
I don't know how this happened. Oh yeah, I'm into it.
DVD's and vhs, is that are worth something? We need?
The og Wiggles, well, I went a little too og
for it.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Rod and Gabby versus the.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
World celebrity cringe moments and interviews. They are relentless. They
happen too often.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I don't know if we've been responsible for any of them.
I think that thing that happened with Keith from the
Block happened off air after the interview finished.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
That would have been diabolical on air.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
That wasn't with me that I'm distancing myself from.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
That good you right too.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
He was highly offended that I compared him to Prince
or Madonna and only needing one name is in Keith
because he was that famous. He misunderstood and he got
very offended. Anyway, he won came back on. I saw
this is a new one that I saw the other day.
The big sport management guy from the UFC, Joe Rogan. No,
(04:34):
I've told you what happens here. Dana White is the boss.
He was in a two hour interview, and then at
the end of the interview, the interviewer did this. So
the person who was being interviewed Dana White, and the
interviewer says.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
What's Joe Rogan's dream, What's Joe Rogan's dream?
Speaker 4 (04:55):
What's Dana White's dream? Did you just.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
He kind of.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Looks like I was not going to get you out
of it.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
You've just interviewed him for two hours and then you've
identified him as the wrong person.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
It's almost worse than calling a partner by the wrong name.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
That's not as bad as that, that would be terrible.
And so we've got a new one today, do it.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Yeah, this is very uncomfortable. So Osher Gunsberg was being
interviewed on a podcast called It's a Bit Rogue Podcast.
So it's a younger Jen Zetta who is interviewing Osher.
So she wasn't really around when he was at the
height of his fame. I would say, like when he
(05:39):
was MTV days, you know. So Sky sidan Ham is
her name. She's one of the OG influencers from back
in twenty fourteen, and that's how she's gotten her following
to be having this podcast good one. She's interviewing Osher
and I don't I don't know. I think maybe one
of her team booked Osher and she didn't do her
research figure out who he was.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Asha is part of Australian pop culture history, history and currency.
He's always a year doesn't go by that you don't
see you're doing something.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
And she knows him currently, so that's fine, and so
someone else has booked him to be on her podcast
and she's like, yeah, I know this guy. But then
when she's diving into his history, things start to get
a little bit murky because she did not do her
research into that part of his life, or she.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Did do her research.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Sometimes the internet can lead you austral and so no, no.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
She's done her reasearchnecessary.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Let's listen to this. So this is just two little
snippets that Osha has taken from the podcast and he's
actually posted up on his page, so he's captioned it
every day is a school day. Thanks for having me,
as in like he's teaching her a lesson about who
he is. Have a little listen to this question that
she asks him. First up, I have a co host
on idol erriage just as you, Oh, is he still
(06:56):
with us? You're asking me of James Matheson's I was
asking if he was alive. So that's why why would
you go there? Why would you ask if his co
host is dead? So then Osha actually sent this to
James Mason because he was like, hey, mate's still alive.
(07:17):
And James has responded. So Sky also apologized and says apologies,
not condolences, and he said, we found it pretty funny
in your defense to gen Z to anyone not active
on socials, I guess they're dead. And he's not active
on socials. So she was just like, is he is
he around?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
It's still a wild question to ask, because I mean,
I mean, has some more grays. But you know he's
not checking because you know when your grandparents start checking
the paper to see the obituaries, who's dead, who's the
friends have died.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
But she's like, ohwa is he still with us?
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Wow? That is awkward?
Speaker 5 (07:57):
And then this is what I mean, this is the
second part of cringe. I said she definitely did not
dive into his history at all, because I have a
listen to this.
Speaker 7 (08:06):
Oh my gosh, I still can't believe Andrew Jane, you
are the same person.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Oh no, anyway, how old were you when you realized that? Today?
Speaker 7 (08:14):
I'm twenty eight, so.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Today is the day, did you.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
A little bit of research goes a long way.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
I still call him Andrew G and that's but she's.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Talking about his Australian Idol career. But hadn't put two
and two together that he was the same person.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
I lose track because you know, we've known him for
so long, but at.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
The start of Australian Idol he came on as Andrew G.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
He was for the entirety of Australian idol. He was
Andrew g. It was Dotter that experience that he went
off and found himself and decided to change his lifestyle
and become.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
I'm giving her a pass. I stuffs around with his
own name. That's only you know the famous podcasters Gem
and Revs.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
They've got we don't have time for this, which is
just a the single greatest name for a thing that, yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
I have time for.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
No one has done reading.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
But the subject matter also is along those lines. They're
coming to camera and often when podcasters two of the podcast,
it's it's a spoken word performance. It's a stage performance
of what the podcast is. They have the next level.
This is a musical, this is a comedy.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
It's kind of all of the above, and it's.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Called who Is She?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
And I don't I don't know, you know the storyline
or the premise.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
But when a woman says who is she is? That
is that where we go? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Let's go to them now, Gem and Revs. Good a
congratulations on the show.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Hi, Hi camera, am I am.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I reading too much or incorrectly into who is she?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
By me saying who is she is? That the wrong
way to read it not enough?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
You know, given a complex we are complicated. There's so
many ways to say who is she? It can be critical,
it can be self critical, it can be like, yeah, girl,
who is she?
Speaker 7 (10:10):
Get it?
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Are you covering all bases?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Well?
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yeah, look we're asking. You know, when you've had kids
and you've been in the trenches with little kids for
a long time, when you start to emerge from that stage,
you often look in the mirror and go who am
I now? Like who is she today? And that's kind
of what the show is all about, but lots of long.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
When I was first listening to your podcast, I was like,
these girls just remind me of my musical theater friends.
They are the ones go to a Wicked on opening
night and sing along to every song. Yeah, that is
the exact vibe I was getting. So when I saw
this show come out, I'm like, yeah, this makes so
much sense to me. And is it true that you're
actually performing this at the Sydney Opera House.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
We are.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
We're doing four shows at the Sydney Opera House. We're
taking it to London just before that. You know, we've
always wanted to get to the nation's capital and we've
never made it on our other tours, and this year
we're like, we cannot miss camera. Those girls they want it,
they're ready for a night out. We are coming to deliver.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
And the messaging is so relatable for all of us
mums out there, like you do lose yourself a little
bit in the trenches of motherhood in those first couple
of years. So you having a night out with that
message connected to it, Like, that's just it's just the dream.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Yeah, we have a lot of women who come solo.
They don't have other friends listen to the podcast, but
they meet up with other We call our listeners our dls.
That's a long story. It's a bit of an in joke,
not hard to figure out. They'll come find us on Instagram.
They meet up and they have dinner and drinks and
they sort of We try and really help the community
(11:48):
find each other at the show. It's like a place
they can all meet and motherhood is so lonely and
we really are the mother's group in people's ears. So
to come together and meet at an event like the
live show feels really special and a big deal for
a lot of mumy in friendship. But it's not lost
on us.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Can you believe that when you talk about the mother's group,
and my wife and a lot of the mums that
are listening now know the intimacy of that group of
just being locals from around the suburb, that somehow the
same philosophy, I guess can be applied literally to the world,
which is what your podcast has ended up being.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Yeah, I know, we love it. We started during COVID
when people couldn't get to their mother's group and we thought, well,
let's make a digital online mother's groups and when none
of us are doing this alone. And yeah, it's grown
into this incredible community of just women who you know,
they love their kids, that they don't necessarily love parenting
every day.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
There was one really quick thing I need to ask you,
you guys about. There were two Chris Egan stories in
a recent podcast. And yes, you girls have been friends
since nineteen eighty eight, and both of these Chris Egan
stories like a surprise to each of you, and I
was shook that you hadn't revealed these stories before then
to one another. But can you just just for our audience,
(13:08):
just really quickly. The first Chris Egan story was about
a childhood crush. Are you able just to tell it
really quickly?
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Oh my god, I'm trauma dumping again this week.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yees.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Basically, I entered the Talent Quest out of Westfield when
I was ten or eleven, and me and Chris Egan
were in the finals together and I had my first
chowmance crush. He didn't have it back. It was all
one way, but we became friends and exchanged numbers and
then he was sorry, chrisian to throw you under the
bus on live radio. But he was the first man
to ever ghost me line on a landline. Nonetheless, Oh
(13:45):
the humility. And then you know, fast forward sixteen years
and then I ended up being cast in a movie
with him, a delightful D grade horror Felm and my
bestie Red never told me the story because you've too embarrassed,
still embarrass that being ghosts age ten.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
You know, your relationship is strong, and at a certain point,
after all these decades, you're going, all right, I got
something to tell you.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I know we've been through every era of life together
and we still surprise each other, which is you know,
makes for great podcast on turf, keeps it fresh, keeps
us on our toes.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Isn't that the true job.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
It's authentic, it's real, and there's nothing more real than
telling your lifelong friend a thing like that. You can
get the podcast we don't have time for this and
see the performance the playhouse at the Canberra Theater. It's
this Saturday, eight pm. Who is she and exactly how
should that be said? We'll find out then, Gem and Revs.
Thank you for the time today, congratulations and everything, and
(14:41):
we can't wait to see you in the Capitol.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Thank god, we can't wait. Bring it on, Rod and
Gabby versus the World.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
This is a story from last weekend the UFC.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
You know they they have these every weekend, the Ultimate
Fighting Championship, the Mixed martial Artists.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
They come from all sorts of backgrounds and they fin
in a cage. Incredible.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
So one of their stars, Angela Hill, she's been fighting
for a long time to tough fit.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
She's very fit, Laan strong like muscles galore.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
So the thing is, though, you know you're fighting weight
and your training weight can be a little bit different,
and so you got a way in to make sure
you're the right way to fight against you know, the
people in the same division, and so talks through, and
you'll have a better insight into what's going on here.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
She's heading to the scale.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Is it a bikini to get weigh I'm assuming the
less you wear the better because you don't want to
weigh more than what you are.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Correct, And basically there's no shoes or.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Anything, just a little black bikini.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Right heading to the scales.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Here we go, getting onto the scale. Oh sorry, hold
on a second.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Oh okay.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
She's got like little silicon cups in her bra to
give her a bit more shape, and she's realized that
they might add weight, so she's quickly taken them out
and handed them to the dude that's weighing her.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
For him, he looks like an older gent.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
He might have been around the fight game for many decades.
He's probably seen it all. Yeah, and so at this
moment is he's had the what do you.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Call them little silicon inserts.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
The silicon insects.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Some people call them chicken fillts.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Right, he's had the chicken filets handed to Hi. I'm
going to cut to a different angle here and talks through.
How cool this guy's you don't remember he's managing the
scale here.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
It's his job to.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
Weigh her to weigh her, because he's those old school
scales where you.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Move the pin and then you announce the weight right,
and everyone goes, good news, let's fight.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Okay, not that quickly, but you know, then the fight's
later that night.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
So she's about to step up onto the scale. She's
handed over her boob cups. He's like, I know them.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
I don't know them.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Oh no, he went on, No, he went to put
them down, and he's fumbled them so badly that one's
flown a couple of meters away.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Rents Angela overkill.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Hell there she is, and yeah, old butterfingers there his
job at was, suggests well, I mean he signed up
for the way and then he didn't necessarily know he
was going to have to manage the chicken pillts and
he's gone the and then.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Yeah, like it's not like she handed him a couple
of you know.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Wet cakes of soap, but he handled them like that,
and one wish to the other side of the stage.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
So she has put one back in her bra and
now she has to go retrieve the other.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
Dust that off and then and we're back in action.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
She doesn't seem that embarrassed.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
About it.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
She would have known that she had to take him
out when she put him in that morning.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Yeah, I think clearly, as she was about to get
on the scales and she went, I can't have an
extra gram with that clothes to make him wait, It's
clear that she might have thought about it when she
put him in.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
She did not think about it until the second before
she had to take him out. Happy book week. What
a week. It's pain for the kids and the parents.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
And the parents different reasons.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
So sleep deprived. You think it's just a cliche, Oh,
staying up late. Well, procrastination is a thing. And then
all of a sudden it's go time and you realize
something that you should have started weeks.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Ago needs to be done tonight. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I realized that the way you are going to do
it doesn't work. And this is not hypothetical.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
That feels very personal. Yeah, this has been my last
forty eight hours. But we're here the end of the week.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
Girls are in costume.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
That's right, and we're cool.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
We're about to cross to an amazing canmebra author. This
is just a beautiful I mean, she's written so many books,
but the one that I have here Neil the boring
slash amazing cqcumber.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Can I just set the tone.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
It's a little bit of amazing seacumber, cqcumber.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
There's not enough stories about c cucumbers. Can I give
you a little bit of this book?
Speaker 6 (18:53):
Let's please.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Neil the boring crossed out sea cucumber. And Neil's there,
lying on the bottom of the ocean.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
That's what they do.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
And he's thinking about an octopus, a shark and a squid.
So there's the thought bubble, and Neil says, I don't
know why I'm in this book. Books usually just have
the cool sea creatures. Nothing exciting happens around here, and
(19:28):
I don't really do much, especially since Sandra floated away.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
In the undertoe.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Oh I know, not Sandra.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
And there's a thought bubble of Sandra, who I assume
was Neil's other half. At some point, well, I should
tell you a little bit about me. I suppose I'm
named after a vegetable, or as a cucumber of fruit.
Of course, I've never seen a cucumber, but.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
That's what I look like. Apparently, the cucumber lying on
the bottom.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Of the sea.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
It's just a beautiful story I love it, beautiful time.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Oh it's just magnificent and we're privileged to have the
author joining us. Now I feel very nervous. I don't
know whether or I've done the reading justice.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Amerely a good morning.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Thank you so much for the time and congratulations on
not just a beautiful book but an amazing career.
Speaker 7 (20:23):
Thanks Hi, Rod and Gabby, thanks for having me guard
I go very good, loved it well, delivery right, very good.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
That's very kind you. This is your week, this is
your time to shine.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
So many schools across the capitol and around the region
inviting you to do readings of your books.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Is this maybe the most rewarding week of the year
for you as an author?
Speaker 7 (20:47):
Yeah? I love visiting schools as an author, getting to
share my books and getting kids excited about books and
reading and it's all about them. And yeah, shout out
to all the big people who made the costumes and
to the dead hated teachers who really make book Week
such an exciting thing and supporting their literacy. But yeah,
it's loads of fun. I love it.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
It is so much fun. I love Book Week. I
love books. But is it like the pinnacle of an
author's career it is like the absolute peak when you
see kids dressed as your characters? Is that the biggest highlight?
Speaker 7 (21:21):
Yeah, totally, yeah, that's it's Yeah, it's pretty amazing. I'm
still pinching myself. I'm an author at all, so to
see that in schools, it's pretty amazing.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
How do you dresses a sea cucumber?
Speaker 7 (21:33):
People get creative, like, yeah, homemade costumes are the best.
But yeah, there's some pretty funny ones going around. Yeah,
a lot of green.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
So what are your kids dressing up as this week?
Speaker 7 (21:44):
My daughter has already gone. She went into a group
with the Alison Wonder Nane theme, so yeah, she was
the white Queen.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Yeah, well your camera moum done good.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
I think Penguin am I right?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Penguin are going to be publishing Neil the Amazing c
Cucumber in the US soon.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
Is that correct in Yeah? Yeah, it's published by a
firm here, which is Simon Schuster. But yeah, Penguin are
going to be putting out in North America. It's just
super exciting. So yeah, that dreary c Cucumber is getting
about so book.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
Week in the States, I know, I don't think so
we might have to introduce it.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Here opportunity knocking.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
The Australian influence over the Americans has been significant thanks
to Bluey, but we're not finished.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Let's keep getting to work on that. Amelia. Thank you
so much for the time.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
We know this is the busiest week of the year
for you, and in between doing readings and appearances at schools,
you've made a second for us.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
Thank you so much for the time, and we can't.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Wait to chat as you release more of these amazing
children's books right from right here in the nation's capital.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
Thanks very Gabie for having me, and Happy Bookweek everyone,
You don't think you're a musician, But then after that
you just said they do music.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I do music, So another word, you're a musician? No
not okay, what's a procedure.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
This is Roden Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
Fifty million dollars. None of us won the thirty mil
last night Powerable.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
So dak yes, how are we going to make money
in the meantime?
Speaker 4 (00:27):
I mean, you know, without doing our jobs? Aha?
Speaker 5 (00:31):
Well, you could have a sad hustle, or you could
just go through your DVDs or vhs is if you
still own any, because you might have some hidden gems
in there. There's one in particular that people are pointing
out today as a really great resale item. This is
what collectors are really trying to get their hands on.
So if you were to find this among your collection
(00:54):
or maybe in a charity shop collection, if you were
looking there, then you could get like a thousand bucks
for one.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
That's pretty good, right, Okay?
Speaker 5 (01:02):
Is it enough for you a thousand bucks?
Speaker 4 (01:05):
It's enough for me to pay attention? I'm listening. Well.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
It is a very specific Wiggles TV series. It's the
og So the Wiggles first season DVD. It is selling
for a lot of money. So that's like the original boys.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
That were part of it, or the cockroaches.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
Yeah, the cockroaches, Greg, Anthony, Jeff and Murray. And if
you're able to find all three, that's when you're really
in the money because everyone's looking for him. If you've
got them on VHS.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Well imagine worth even more.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I imagine they were initially or originally released on VHS.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
You think so he was.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Two? That's a really good question. And I can see
what they look like here, but they don't have a
year on them. They're like they're very very old school.
The first does it even look like they're wearing the
proper skivvies? It was in the early nineteen nineties. Yeh,
But you know what it is if it's the original.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
So so I managed, I don't know. Do I get
anything for this? Do I get anything for a.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
VHS copy that's online? No? But if I have VHS
taped off, rage of the cockroaches I'm starting that goes
in the air.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Here they are, there's no way nineteen eighty seven, the
boys pre skivvy.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Trying the rock and roll thing. Is this the first
time you've seen this?
Speaker 5 (02:47):
This is the first time I've ever seen this in
my life.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
They look so different, well, they look the same, but
it's that we're not wearing the here it is, let's go,
let's go, let's go, it's all the words.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
Looks so different because they're in normal clothes. But they're
also not wearing goofy smiles, like they've kind of got
the hot boy look going on.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
And they're also like nineteen in the mirror. Okay, so
my very attractive.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
My I'm shocked.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
My vhs of taping the boys off rage in nineteen
eighty seven not gonna get me anything.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Oh my, bye it, I'm into it.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Let's school, Let's school, let's go, let's still in there.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Jeff's hot, Jeff's on the keys, alright.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
I don't know how this happened. Oh yeah, I'm into it.
DVD's and vhs, is that are worth something? We need?
The og Wiggles, well, I went a little too og
for it.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Rod and Gabby versus the.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
World celebrity cringe moments and interviews. They are relentless. They
happen too often.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I don't know if we've been responsible for any of them.
I think that thing that happened with Keith from the
Block happened off air after the interview finished.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
That would have been diabolical on air.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
That wasn't with me that I'm distancing myself from.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
That good you right too.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
He was highly offended that I compared him to Prince
or Madonna and only needing one name is in Keith
because he was that famous. He misunderstood and he got
very offended. Anyway, he won came back on. I saw
this is a new one that I saw the other day.
The big sport management guy from the UFC, Joe Rogan. No,
(04:34):
I've told you what happens here. Dana White is the boss.
He was in a two hour interview, and then at
the end of the interview, the interviewer did this. So
the person who was being interviewed Dana White, and the
interviewer says.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
What's Joe Rogan's dream, What's Joe Rogan's dream?
Speaker 4 (04:55):
What's Dana White's dream? Did you just.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
He kind of.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Looks like I was not going to get you out
of it.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
You've just interviewed him for two hours and then you've
identified him as the wrong person.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
It's almost worse than calling a partner by the wrong name.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
That's not as bad as that, that would be terrible.
And so we've got a new one today, do it.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Yeah, this is very uncomfortable. So Osher Gunsberg was being
interviewed on a podcast called It's a Bit Rogue Podcast.
So it's a younger Jen Zetta who is interviewing Osher.
So she wasn't really around when he was at the
height of his fame. I would say, like when he
(05:39):
was MTV days, you know. So Sky sidan Ham is
her name. She's one of the OG influencers from back
in twenty fourteen, and that's how she's gotten her following
to be having this podcast good one. She's interviewing Osher
and I don't I don't know. I think maybe one
of her team booked Osher and she didn't do her
research figure out who he was.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Asha is part of Australian pop culture history, history and currency.
He's always a year doesn't go by that you don't
see you're doing something.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
And she knows him currently, so that's fine, and so
someone else has booked him to be on her podcast
and she's like, yeah, I know this guy. But then
when she's diving into his history, things start to get
a little bit murky because she did not do her
research into that part of his life, or she.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Did do her research.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Sometimes the internet can lead you austral and so no, no.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
She's done her reasearchnecessary.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Let's listen to this. So this is just two little
snippets that Osha has taken from the podcast and he's
actually posted up on his page, so he's captioned it
every day is a school day. Thanks for having me,
as in like he's teaching her a lesson about who
he is. Have a little listen to this question that
she asks him. First up, I have a co host
on idol erriage just as you, Oh, is he still
(06:56):
with us? You're asking me of James Matheson's I was
asking if he was alive. So that's why why would
you go there? Why would you ask if his co
host is dead? So then Osha actually sent this to
James Mason because he was like, hey, mate's still alive.
(07:17):
And James has responded. So Sky also apologized and says apologies,
not condolences, and he said, we found it pretty funny
in your defense to gen Z to anyone not active
on socials, I guess they're dead. And he's not active
on socials. So she was just like, is he is
he around?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
It's still a wild question to ask, because I mean,
I mean, has some more grays. But you know he's
not checking because you know when your grandparents start checking
the paper to see the obituaries, who's dead, who's the
friends have died.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
But she's like, ohwa is he still with us?
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Wow? That is awkward?
Speaker 5 (07:57):
And then this is what I mean, this is the
second part of cringe. I said she definitely did not
dive into his history at all, because I have a
listen to this.
Speaker 7 (08:06):
Oh my gosh, I still can't believe Andrew Jane, you
are the same person.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Oh no, anyway, how old were you when you realized that? Today?
Speaker 7 (08:14):
I'm twenty eight, so.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Today is the day, did you.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
A little bit of research goes a long way.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
I still call him Andrew G and that's but she's.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Talking about his Australian Idol career. But hadn't put two
and two together that he was the same person.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
I lose track because you know, we've known him for
so long, but at.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
The start of Australian Idol he came on as Andrew G.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
He was for the entirety of Australian idol. He was
Andrew g. It was Dotter that experience that he went
off and found himself and decided to change his lifestyle
and become.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
I'm giving her a pass. I stuffs around with his
own name. That's only you know the famous podcasters Gem
and Revs.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
They've got we don't have time for this, which is
just a the single greatest name for a thing that, yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
I have time for.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
No one has done reading.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
But the subject matter also is along those lines. They're
coming to camera and often when podcasters two of the podcast,
it's it's a spoken word performance. It's a stage performance
of what the podcast is. They have the next level.
This is a musical, this is a comedy.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
It's kind of all of the above, and it's.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Called who Is She?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
And I don't I don't know, you know the storyline
or the premise.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
But when a woman says who is she is? That
is that where we go? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Let's go to them now, Gem and Revs. Good a
congratulations on the show.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Hi, Hi camera, am I am.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I reading too much or incorrectly into who is she?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
By me saying who is she is? That the wrong
way to read it not enough?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
You know, given a complex we are complicated. There's so
many ways to say who is she? It can be critical,
it can be self critical, it can be like, yeah, girl,
who is she?
Speaker 7 (10:10):
Get it?
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Are you covering all bases?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Well?
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yeah, look we're asking. You know, when you've had kids
and you've been in the trenches with little kids for
a long time, when you start to emerge from that stage,
you often look in the mirror and go who am
I now? Like who is she today? And that's kind
of what the show is all about, but lots of long.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
When I was first listening to your podcast, I was like,
these girls just remind me of my musical theater friends.
They are the ones go to a Wicked on opening
night and sing along to every song. Yeah, that is
the exact vibe I was getting. So when I saw
this show come out, I'm like, yeah, this makes so
much sense to me. And is it true that you're
actually performing this at the Sydney Opera House.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
We are.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
We're doing four shows at the Sydney Opera House. We're
taking it to London just before that. You know, we've
always wanted to get to the nation's capital and we've
never made it on our other tours, and this year
we're like, we cannot miss camera. Those girls they want it,
they're ready for a night out. We are coming to deliver.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
And the messaging is so relatable for all of us
mums out there, like you do lose yourself a little
bit in the trenches of motherhood in those first couple
of years. So you having a night out with that
message connected to it, Like, that's just it's just the dream.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Yeah, we have a lot of women who come solo.
They don't have other friends listen to the podcast, but
they meet up with other We call our listeners our dls.
That's a long story. It's a bit of an in joke,
not hard to figure out. They'll come find us on Instagram.
They meet up and they have dinner and drinks and
they sort of We try and really help the community
(11:48):
find each other at the show. It's like a place
they can all meet and motherhood is so lonely and
we really are the mother's group in people's ears. So
to come together and meet at an event like the
live show feels really special and a big deal for
a lot of mumy in friendship. But it's not lost
on us.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Can you believe that when you talk about the mother's group,
and my wife and a lot of the mums that
are listening now know the intimacy of that group of
just being locals from around the suburb, that somehow the
same philosophy, I guess can be applied literally to the world,
which is what your podcast has ended up being.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Yeah, I know, we love it. We started during COVID
when people couldn't get to their mother's group and we thought, well,
let's make a digital online mother's groups and when none
of us are doing this alone. And yeah, it's grown
into this incredible community of just women who you know,
they love their kids, that they don't necessarily love parenting
every day.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
There was one really quick thing I need to ask you,
you guys about. There were two Chris Egan stories in
a recent podcast. And yes, you girls have been friends
since nineteen eighty eight, and both of these Chris Egan
stories like a surprise to each of you, and I
was shook that you hadn't revealed these stories before then
to one another. But can you just just for our audience,
(13:08):
just really quickly. The first Chris Egan story was about
a childhood crush. Are you able just to tell it
really quickly?
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Oh my god, I'm trauma dumping again this week.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yees.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Basically, I entered the Talent Quest out of Westfield when
I was ten or eleven, and me and Chris Egan
were in the finals together and I had my first
chowmance crush. He didn't have it back. It was all
one way, but we became friends and exchanged numbers and
then he was sorry, chrisian to throw you under the
bus on live radio. But he was the first man
to ever ghost me line on a landline. Nonetheless, Oh
(13:45):
the humility. And then you know, fast forward sixteen years
and then I ended up being cast in a movie
with him, a delightful D grade horror Felm and my
bestie Red never told me the story because you've too embarrassed,
still embarrass that being ghosts age ten.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
You know, your relationship is strong, and at a certain point,
after all these decades, you're going, all right, I got
something to tell you.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I know we've been through every era of life together
and we still surprise each other, which is you know,
makes for great podcast on turf, keeps it fresh, keeps
us on our toes.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Isn't that the true job.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
It's authentic, it's real, and there's nothing more real than
telling your lifelong friend a thing like that. You can
get the podcast we don't have time for this and
see the performance the playhouse at the Canberra Theater. It's
this Saturday, eight pm. Who is she and exactly how
should that be said? We'll find out then, Gem and Revs.
Thank you for the time today, congratulations and everything, and
(14:41):
we can't wait to see you in the Capitol.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Thank god, we can't wait. Bring it on, Rod and
Gabby versus the World.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
This is a story from last weekend the UFC.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
You know they they have these every weekend, the Ultimate
Fighting Championship, the Mixed martial Artists.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
They come from all sorts of backgrounds and they fin
in a cage. Incredible.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
So one of their stars, Angela Hill, she's been fighting
for a long time to tough fit.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
She's very fit, Laan strong like muscles galore.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
So the thing is, though, you know you're fighting weight
and your training weight can be a little bit different,
and so you got a way in to make sure
you're the right way to fight against you know, the
people in the same division, and so talks through, and
you'll have a better insight into what's going on here.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
She's heading to the scale.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Is it a bikini to get weigh I'm assuming the
less you wear the better because you don't want to
weigh more than what you are.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Correct, And basically there's no shoes or.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Anything, just a little black bikini.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Right heading to the scales.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Here we go, getting onto the scale. Oh sorry, hold
on a second.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Oh okay.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
She's got like little silicon cups in her bra to
give her a bit more shape, and she's realized that
they might add weight, so she's quickly taken them out
and handed them to the dude that's weighing her.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
For him, he looks like an older gent.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
He might have been around the fight game for many decades.
He's probably seen it all. Yeah, and so at this
moment is he's had the what do you.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Call them little silicon inserts.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
The silicon insects.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Some people call them chicken fillts.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Right, he's had the chicken filets handed to Hi. I'm
going to cut to a different angle here and talks through.
How cool this guy's you don't remember he's managing the
scale here.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
It's his job to.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
Weigh her to weigh her, because he's those old school
scales where you.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Move the pin and then you announce the weight right,
and everyone goes, good news, let's fight.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Okay, not that quickly, but you know, then the fight's
later that night.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
So she's about to step up onto the scale. She's
handed over her boob cups. He's like, I know them.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
I don't know them.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Oh no, he went on, No, he went to put
them down, and he's fumbled them so badly that one's
flown a couple of meters away.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Rents Angela overkill.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Hell there she is, and yeah, old butterfingers there his
job at was, suggests well, I mean he signed up
for the way and then he didn't necessarily know he
was going to have to manage the chicken pillts and
he's gone the and then.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Yeah, like it's not like she handed him a couple
of you know.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Wet cakes of soap, but he handled them like that,
and one wish to the other side of the stage.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
So she has put one back in her bra and
now she has to go retrieve the other.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
Dust that off and then and we're back in action.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
She doesn't seem that embarrassed.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
About it.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
She would have known that she had to take him
out when she put him in that morning.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Yeah, I think clearly, as she was about to get
on the scales and she went, I can't have an
extra gram with that clothes to make him wait, It's
clear that she might have thought about it when she
put him in.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
She did not think about it until the second before
she had to take him out. Happy book week. What
a week. It's pain for the kids and the parents.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
And the parents different reasons.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
So sleep deprived. You think it's just a cliche, Oh,
staying up late. Well, procrastination is a thing. And then
all of a sudden it's go time and you realize
something that you should have started weeks.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Ago needs to be done tonight. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I realized that the way you are going to do
it doesn't work. And this is not hypothetical.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
That feels very personal. Yeah, this has been my last
forty eight hours. But we're here the end of the week.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
Girls are in costume.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
That's right, and we're cool.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
We're about to cross to an amazing canmebra author. This
is just a beautiful I mean, she's written so many books,
but the one that I have here Neil the boring
slash amazing cqcumber.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Can I just set the tone.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
It's a little bit of amazing seacumber, cqcumber.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
There's not enough stories about c cucumbers. Can I give
you a little bit of this book?
Speaker 6 (18:53):
Let's please.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Neil the boring crossed out sea cucumber. And Neil's there,
lying on the bottom of the ocean.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
That's what they do.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
And he's thinking about an octopus, a shark and a squid.
So there's the thought bubble, and Neil says, I don't
know why I'm in this book. Books usually just have
the cool sea creatures. Nothing exciting happens around here, and
(19:28):
I don't really do much, especially since Sandra floated away.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
In the undertoe.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Oh I know, not Sandra.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
And there's a thought bubble of Sandra, who I assume
was Neil's other half. At some point, well, I should
tell you a little bit about me. I suppose I'm
named after a vegetable, or as a cucumber of fruit.
Of course, I've never seen a cucumber, but.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
That's what I look like. Apparently, the cucumber lying on
the bottom.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Of the sea.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
It's just a beautiful story I love it, beautiful time.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Oh it's just magnificent and we're privileged to have the
author joining us. Now I feel very nervous. I don't
know whether or I've done the reading justice.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Amerely a good morning.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Thank you so much for the time and congratulations on
not just a beautiful book but an amazing career.
Speaker 7 (20:23):
Thanks Hi, Rod and Gabby, thanks for having me guard
I go very good, loved it well, delivery right, very good.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
That's very kind you. This is your week, this is
your time to shine.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
So many schools across the capitol and around the region
inviting you to do readings of your books.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Is this maybe the most rewarding week of the year
for you as an author?
Speaker 7 (20:47):
Yeah? I love visiting schools as an author, getting to
share my books and getting kids excited about books and
reading and it's all about them. And yeah, shout out
to all the big people who made the costumes and
to the dead hated teachers who really make book Week
such an exciting thing and supporting their literacy. But yeah,

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.
