Speaker 1 (00:00):
On Canberras hit one or four point seven. It's Roddy Thact.
You're going to a lady's only disco in Bugandor, you know,
I am.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
So this has been advertised for quite some time now.
It's to raise money for the local preschool and for
a kid's charity good which I can't remember off the
top of my head, but I've been seeing it advertised everywhere,
and it's been on the door of my daycare because
obviously everyone supports each other in Bugandor being the preschool
being a community run preschool there, so they always do

(00:31):
fundraisers and whatnot. But I was like, I saw it,
and I'm like, no, it's not really my scene, so
I wasn't gonna go.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
It's exactly your safe is it said? Disco ladies? Tick
tick bung and door tick.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
It'll probably be a lot of people I've grown up with,
but I don't.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
Tick to see regularly.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Tick.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
You're saying this, like, you know, social situations like this
make me nervous.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
You have good at them, though, but.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
I'm not comfortable in them. When you're seeing people that
you haven't seen in a really long time. It's like
a high school reunion.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
How long until you when's your next major reunion? I
don't know where you're up to.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
Twenty years next year, is right?

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Yeah, this is a dress rehearsal.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Yeah, that's what it feels like.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
But it's like that nerves of like a high school
reunion where you're like, I know I'm going to know
a lot of people there.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
So I was just like, you know what, too hard basket.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Anyway, Then I got a message from my neighbor the
other day saying, hey, have you heard about this disco.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
It's just down the street where you can walk there.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Whatever's happened about?

Speaker 3 (01:31):
And I mentioned it to my husband and he goes gap.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
We keep saying that we need to do more fun
social things and get to know other people and make friends,
and I'm like, no, no, no, you keep saying that
I've got friends. But in the moment, I was like,
you're so right. I need to put myself out of
my comfort zone. So I said yes, and I immediately
regretted it. So then I bought two tickets and I
called my sister and I'm like, guess who's coming with.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Me to the disco. She's like no, anyway, all heading
along and it's going to be a great time.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
It's not gonna be everyone from just your year, but
there are obviously going to be the kids from years above,
the girls from years above, and there's going.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
To be a lot of people, Like there's a lot
of people that have moved to Bungendore since I was
in school.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Like, it's a very transient community.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Is it.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Oh yeah, yeah, I think.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
You're getting indoor confused for camera.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
No, the Defense headquarters is out that way, so there
are a lot of Defense families that come and go.
And it's a growing town, so there's a lot of
people from Canberra that are now living out there.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
You will meet new people.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
That's what I'm worried about as well.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
Nah, there's the danger as you would just fall back
in with your old crew.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
And you start drinking in the park.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Why are we laughing? Like this might not have rapped
on camera? Four point seven.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
One of our greatest friends has dropped back into the show.
Here legends of the NBL and camera and the cannons
and the bullets.

Speaker 1 (03:00):

Yesterday your foundation was nominated for the National Inclusion Awards.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Congratulations again, you're.

Speaker 5 (03:19):
Very busy, very busy. Yeah, we've been traveling as well.

Speaker 6 (03:23):
The foundation had us go to Geelong to work with
the indigenous organization called walther wrong Aporisal Cooperative.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (03:31):
We put on a free clinic for sixty kids a
couple of days and I got a chance to catch
up with some of my golden oldies.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Can you it doesn't matter where you go in the world.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
I know that you know your family and your mates
in America are so proud of what you're doing over here.
But you turn up at Geelong the seventies, you turn
up there and you know you help put them on
the map. Playing for the cats who turn into the supercats.
You walk in there, they must be wrapped to see.

Speaker 5 (03:54):
It was great, It was absolutely great.

Speaker 6 (03:56):
We had a good turnout at the function and seeing
some of those my old friends and old teammates all
come together some sponsors.

Speaker 5 (04:05):
I sold shoes in.

Speaker 6 (04:06):
Geelong Women's shoes at that and the owner of the
shop actually came to the function.

Speaker 5 (04:11):
No, he doesn't have to shop Bogue shoes. I should
give them a mention.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
For a second about being a professional athlete. In the
seventies and the iighties in Australia, it didn't matter if
you're applying if l NRL NBL you had a die job.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Didn't you?

Speaker 5 (04:29):
You sure did.

Speaker 6 (04:30):
My day job was directive coaching, so I had to
travel to all the schools around Geelong and I was
on a bicycle because my wife had the car with
two young kids and being pregnant. So I'm going up
to Heighten, which was a hill. Going up like this,
it was fun coming down. I just had to make
sure I didn't fall off the bike.

Speaker 5 (04:48):
That was it.

Speaker 6 (04:49):
But it was just an absolute great time. Everyone working
full time. We did our trainings in the evening. We
used to do three hours twice a week, but when
I became the coach, I said, now we're not doing
the three hour was no more, but we're doing one.

Speaker 5 (05:03):
Hour every day.

Speaker 6 (05:04):
Oh okay, And the guys kind of looked at me like, oh,
I guess that's okay, but we're gonna be away from
my wives and we're have you. But I said no, no,
Tuesday and Thursday, you be home quicker beause we're gonna
be on the running track.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
The faster you run, the early, get there, you go,
you get done.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
So what what was the criteria do you know? To
be nominated for Seniors Training of the Year.

Speaker 5 (05:24):
I guess you had to be over seventy years of age.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
The busiest bloke in the city. And you've done it.

Speaker 5 (05:31):
Yeah, I kind of, you know, I enjoy moving around.

Speaker 6 (05:34):
I think at this stage of the game, I'm almost
an empty nest, so I got to find something to
do with my time. My youngest, second youngest son just
moved to Willongong and he's been living there for the
last six months playing with the Hawks. And my second
youngest son, he comes and goes there, you go, comes
there for a bite to eat, and then he slips out

(05:54):
when he's on my last nerve and go to his
bub's house.

Speaker 4 (05:58):
This is the thing, the fact that you know, you
say youngest has had to go up the road to
play ball. It's the only last bit of frustration. We
talk about it every time, is just not having that
last link in the pathway locally that were the Canberra
Cannons and that would be a difference making you talk
about these pathways and starting out in the Central West
or even here or down in Geelong with First Nations kids,

(06:21):
where it can end. Last time you're in here, we're
talking about your old mate, Warwick Giddy's young fellow who
was over there in America.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
What did he end up signing for one hundred million.

Speaker 5 (06:27):
Dollars plus because you're talking us dollars and the rest.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
And he started the season. It's the best season since
Michael Jordan was playing for the Chicago When you're making
that much money. Of course, Josh, he's zero and five
to start. I didn't think they went one and five.
But nevertheless, it's amazing the difference it can make to
a life if you've got that pathway in Canberra and
the Cambra Cannons are a missing link, aren't they.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
I agree.

Speaker 6 (06:54):
I mean we don't have enough team, so Keter for
all the upcoming players that are coming right the ones
that are leaving here now going over to the stat
and I'm proud to say I'm the woman are doing
just the same and I've just put my hand up
to coach the act under twenty women's team in the
national championships and good for you.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Fantastic.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
Oh that's awesome because you don't have enough going on.

Speaker 5 (07:15):
I don't have.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Enoughing, Gabby.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
You asked the question how did you qualify for the
nomination for ACT Australia of the Year, And there is
the answer. The work you do in the community made
you really appreciate it. It's incredible out there. I know
you've got to get back to it, so we're going
to let you go, but good luck and the nomination
on its own is incredible recognition for all the stuff
that you're doing for us in camera.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Well done.

Speaker 6 (07:38):
I appreciate both of you guys. Thank you for the
opportunity to share it. And yeah, looking forward towards now.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
This is roung Gabby wrapped on camera on four point seven.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Over there, Gabrielle, this is a Google one of the
gold Bachelor girls' names. And I didn't think when I
was typing in the search, and it came.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
Across very rude, very very rude.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
The discovery yesterday that you're right into border security.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Has a lot of things I see.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
I'll tell you what I typed, a new light I typed,
and I'll explain after I've told you what it is.
Golden Bachelor comes in hot cart. So one of the
girls came in a hot car to the first episode
of The Bachelor, and she came in late to make
a real entrance.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
And you've typed in Golden Bachelor comes in hot car.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
And ends Kim by the way. Well, she came into
the thinking I wanted to know who was what it was?

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Right? But you typed that in. Yeah, I don't want
to know it.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
It came up, Kim.

Speaker 7 (08:43):
Just don't click that link.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Produce at Chelsea.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
Good morning again, Good morning twenty four the top this afternoon,
three degrees. Now let's get to this. So Kim is
one of the with the Golden bachelorettes. And what's the
game they play?

Speaker 7 (08:58):
Yes, so on Sunday Night's episode, they played never Have
I Ever? So they were on a camping trip and
Bear was still on his solo date with Sonny, So
all of the girls decided that they would just sit
around and play a friendly game of never Have I Ever?

Speaker 2 (09:14):
Can we just pause for two seconds?

Speaker 3 (09:17):
Why would you go on a camping trip on the
Golden Bachelor? First starters? Yeah, terrible date, idea awful.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Oh, you've got to test a relationship. Just get it
over and done with. You know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
I guess it's not pretty though.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
No, no, no, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 8 (09:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
And two, never have I ever is meant to be
a drinking game. I'm just gonna put.

Speaker 5 (09:41):
It out there.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Okay, I think they're doing with ice cream.

Speaker 7 (09:43):
Yes, so they're doing it with ice cream, so they
will take a scoop of or they will eat a
scoop of ice cream if they have done these things.
And I had this on in the background, and then
it like sparked my attention when I was listening to
what they were saying, and I was like, do I
need to live a bit more?

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Like?

Speaker 7 (09:58):
Oh, like these girls are saying. I do think that
it is really interesting watching from an older generation play
this game.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
You're a quarter of their age. They've done more than you. Yes, yes,
let's have a look at they give us. One of
the girls gives us the rules. The rule.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
Yep, remind me the rules.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
If I say never have I ever joined the Mile
High Club, those of you that have joined the Mile High.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Club just an example. Although one of the girls, ye, good, yeah,
you mean not now, so tell us about it.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
No, that's not part of the game in the story,
I don't know how to play this.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Well, she said, here are the rules.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
And given that, you know, she's technically halfway through making
them up, and she goes along, she can add that,
I'll just.

Speaker 7 (10:57):
Say it, okay, give me your ten.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
All right?

Speaker 1 (11:04):
Never have I ever slept with my university lecture cat?

Speaker 3 (11:08):
Oh my god, I'm so rogue, straight in, straight in.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
But the fact that that's on her mind.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
You know, maybe one of the girls that told her
a secret, because this is what we used to do,
Like you knew not that no, no, you knew your
friend's like secret little things that they hadn't maybe made public,
And so you'd sit there and you'd stare at them
with a really like cheeky look on your face and go, never.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
Have I ever? And they're like the concept.

Speaker 7 (11:37):
The way that they were playing it though, was like
they were outing themselves. So they would say things like, yes,
I know what you're talking about with like you would
out your friend.

Speaker 6 (11:44):
I know.

Speaker 4 (11:46):
So the girl, the woman who said, never have I
ever slept with my university lecturer?

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Is she about to take a scoop?

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Okay, all right, So she's just trying to brag here.
That's what that's what you're trying to do.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
Okay, Okay, her university is opening an investigation sixty years
after the fact.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
The university lecturers. He's longer. I assume have been a
young lecturer. Let's go.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
He failed me, I am the failed me.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
I must be rubbish. That's pretty funny. That's the next one.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
These golden ladies, they are wold never ever have I
ever hired a male escort in Vegas?

Speaker 3 (12:41):
It's just so broke.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
The whole thing is so they don't know how to
play it. They don't.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
They don't. They don't want to tell us what you've done.
Just tell us this is the thing, not how you
play the game, Like.

Speaker 7 (12:53):
Yes, let's play never have I have I ever? And
that the lady's like, okay, I know how to play this.

Speaker 4 (12:57):
What a game of one ups woman ship trying to
show off to one another by saying an outrageous thing,
And then oh my.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
Is that a big deal? Male escort in Vegas? Why
wouldn't you?

Speaker 3 (13:16):
I haven't, but sure never have I.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
Never?

Speaker 3 (13:19):
Are you reading the ice cream over there?

Speaker 1 (13:23):
I'm here for them.

Speaker 4 (13:25):
I'm not eating as much ice cream as them, though
no one else.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
Is eating one more. Here we go.

Speaker 5 (13:33):
Okay, never have I ever kiss a stranger on a plane.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
They don't get it.

Speaker 4 (13:44):
That's every person confessional is not never have ever, but again,
long plane trip.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
You can see how it might happen.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
I'm not saying there's absolutely no shade throat at anything
these women have done. They're just not playing the game.
It makes me really mad about.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Producer Chelsea watches it and goes, we're gonna get out him.
This is Roy rapped on camera four point seven.

Speaker 4 (14:10):
Actually, Nolan from the newsroom, it's great news for Bob
Catter today.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
He might be hearing about this for the first time.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
Bob, you are getting a portrait at Parliament House.

Speaker 5 (14:20):
Mike, don't say that.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
We'll hang on because in the mouth, I'm just gonna
hand over to you. Actually, Nolan, why why?

Speaker 8 (14:30):
Well, he he should be happy. It's commemorating his more
than fifty years of service to the Queensland and Federal
parliaments and that's getting unveiled at Parliament House today.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
So I love I mean the portraits one thing, but
I like.

Speaker 4 (14:47):
A movie poster where it's like a collage and so
it shows the movie, shows the highlights of key moments
in the movie with this of Bob's career would be fantastic.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Obviously him first of all, just like I don't say that.
And then the one with the feast was going to
punch in the mouth. He goes up to the journal,
so that'd be good.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
What at the time he fell asleep on you, Gabby
in the plane in there.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
Too, Yeah, he fell asleep, if not on me, thankfully,
but he landed and he was still asleep and I
couldn't get out.

Speaker 3 (15:18):
I'm like, wake up, Bob. So that one he had
like his hat over his eyes, like very typical.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
I can see it on the post.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
Yeah, can I be in the background like.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
You've got to be?

Speaker 4 (15:29):
I think, just for a bit of artistic license, that
he is. The hat's down, but it's kind of his
head's on your shoulder and the cats that the cat's
you know, squishing into your face.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
That's a great portrait. I hope they so sorry.

Speaker 8 (15:44):
Commitment to wearing the hat on a plane not comfortable,
not at.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
All when you want to cover your eyes. Perfect true,
I don't say that

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
