Speaker 1 (00:00):
On Canberra's hit one O four point seven.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
It's Roden Gabby.

Speaker 3 (00:04):
Rat that'll do twenty twenty five, that'll do, agreed. However,
let's let's start with the I think the news that
Australia globally will be remembered for Yeah, in twenty twenty five,
that's true. And really it's as simple as.

Speaker 4 (00:24):
No Facebook, no Snapchat, knowing stir around.

Speaker 5 (00:30):
It's album.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
So shum and I hope it does end up being
a good news story time is going to tell.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
But at this stage I think everything just seems good,
pretty optimistic.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Well, when you think about different prime ministers and what
they've ended up being famous for.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
So the John Howard with you know, getting rid of.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
The guns, Tony Abbott with eating the onion, very known
for yess for that, you know Schomo for you won't
hold a host. So when you think about when they
were the fires, they said, what are you doing mate?
Going to Hawaii? He said, that's right, I'm paraphrase. Anyway,
every prime minigue. You're right, they're all famous for a

(01:18):
thing and could Albow end up being famous for this.
This is in the last couple of hours in America.
The reaction over there they're covering this news world wide,
and so they'd finished doing the news story and then
they threw back to the desk. So this is us
NBC Breakfast TV. So just like our Brecky TV, everyone
will sit around and have a chat about a thing

(01:39):
that just happened. And this is the reaction over there, guys.

Speaker 5 (01:42):
Already Well done Australia.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
I'm all for it.

Speaker 6 (01:45):
It's like a school our school district started a band
similar to that and we're seeing effects of it.

Speaker 5 (01:48):
It's hard to do it as just apparently.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
It starts at the top, right, Yes, so I hope
other countries are watching Australia.

Speaker 5 (01:54):
I agree parents need the help.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
Well, I also think sometimes we forget that these are
apps a large design to be addictive algorithms that feed
off and so I've played that down for a second.
But they're having the same conversations that we are, and
they're all, you know, parents, So they're shocked by that
teenage kids on that show as well, what do.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
You mean, Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
I just expected America to be at Australia because that's
what they normally do.

Speaker 7 (02:19):
It isy with the gun laws and stuff.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
They're like, yeah, so their freedom of speech attitude is
pretty it's pretty top ten, it is.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
But even they can just sloud that.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
It makes sense interesting though, because Albert has been getting
spammed a little bit since the band has come into play.
So any sixteen year old who has managed to hold
onto their accounts since the band really took hold, they've
been commenting and spamming him on his social media saying
got past it, beat the band, the argument whatever they're saying,

(02:52):
the band didn't.

Speaker 7 (02:53):
Work, which is funny, right, But you know the people
that are like sitting there going shut up.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
It's the app developers or the owners of the organizations
because they're going to get fined if they're not able
to make this a thing.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
I thought it was the smart kids. So the smart
kids on the down low.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
So if you are spamming the Prime Minister on a
public platform from the thing you're not meant to.

Speaker 7 (03:18):
Be on, there's no question, not going to be long
and you'll be gone.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
You're too dumb to be allowed on it. We don't
want you on it ever, even want you an adult. No,
hopefully you switch on Bob.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
All right, Well you just lost.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
All the dumb listeners. You never had any smartest listeners
in the world.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
On the Roden Gabby Show.

Speaker 8 (03:37):
This is Rodin Gabby rapped on camera four point seven.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
The Kings are coming to play the thirty six's December seventeen.
We didn't get enough of the NBL during the NBOL
Blitz and one of the biggest stars of the game.
He is a league MVP in a two time NBL champion.
Xavier Cooks. Welcome back to Canbra preemptibly mate. It's going
to be good to have you back.

Speaker 5 (04:00):
Good morning, guys, and thanks for having me. I mean,
I'm excited to get back down there and yeah, get
back into Canberra.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
As a young.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
Bloke at the AIS earlier in your career, did you
have the small rooms or did you have the slightly bigger,
newer room.

Speaker 5 (04:15):
Yeah, I was fortunate enough to be in the new
residence and have the slightly bigger room. But it was
a great time.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
Did you fit your very tall frame into those rooms
and the bed that they offer.

Speaker 5 (04:27):
The bed, No, but I'm coming used to that. But
the room.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Yeah, you're you're just over two hundred centimeters and it's
interesting when we watch the AFL and the NRL, the
tallest player is only is two hundred and two, two
hundred and three four five centimeters tops. What's the what's
the tallest player that you'll face off against in the NBL.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
You're not the tallest bloke.

Speaker 5 (04:49):
Oh not even closed. We'll have some seven footers maybe
Tyrol Harrison at in Brisbrane might be two dred and
thirteen no walk in the Sydney Kings, and we have
Andrew Boga and Luke Longley who's like seven foot one
and seven foot three, And there was a real awakening
for me.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
That's crazy tall, That is wild, and those two guys
being huge stars and having such well extraordinary all time
career success in the NBA.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Are you gonna run over there with Washington?

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Are they had different size, a different build Again when
you play against the Americans.

Speaker 5 (05:24):
In the NBA. Oh yeah, they have some unbelievable body
sex over there. Even now they have that wemb guy
who's seven foot five and he moves like a guard
and he can shoot threes. And even out here we
had Paul Zingis who's seven to two. Like, they have
some real big bodies over there, And that's probably the
biggest difference between NBL or teams over in Europe compared
to the NBA, He's a pure size in athleticism.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
I remember going to the basketball when the Cannons were
playing back in the day before they finished up, and
I just don't remember the teams being that tall. And
then the Globetrotters came and visited and I went and stood.

Speaker 7 (05:58):
Next time.

Speaker 4 (05:59):
I was only young, but I was up the guy's
hip and I was like watching this happen.

Speaker 7 (06:02):
They're giant.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
But speaking of the Cannons, do you have much memory
of the Cannons playing because you would have been quite.

Speaker 5 (06:09):
Young, right, Yeah, I would have been real young. I'm
not too much. I would have been back in my
dad's day when my dad's was playing in I've got
some friends and family down in Camber that used to
play back then with my dad, and yeah, but that's
a bit before my time.

Speaker 7 (06:21):
Oh well, I was.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
Gonna ask because playing for the Sydney Kings here this weekend,
Camber is going to be going for the Sydney Kings
because you're our team for now.

Speaker 7 (06:29):
If we get the Cannons back, you know that's.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Going to change right right there. This visit back here
after the Blitz, and it is a pseudo homecoming, although
you have traveled around the world and you're stint in Japan.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Just fantastic. What an adventure can you believe?

Speaker 5 (06:49):
You know?

Speaker 1 (06:50):
I mean, do you ever do you reflect yet?

Speaker 3 (06:52):
You're not late enough in your career, maybe, but just
to think about when you're a little kid that you're
going to see the world playing the game you love.

Speaker 5 (06:58):
I mean, sometimes I do think about how fortunate I am,
and to be able to play this game and to
meet so many wonderful people and taking me so many
cool places around the world, and just be able to
play basketball do these things has been really cool. But
I'm just excited to be able to come back to camera.
I love these little homecoming kind of events for me,
you know, be able to a game up in to
perhaps it up in Newcastle lot last year and come

(07:19):
back to Camber this year for the Blitz was really
cool and it's always fun for me.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
It's fun for us, it really is.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
The King's back in the capital taking on the thirty
six is sorry, Adelaide, but we've made our choice, ye
as Gabby says, our team so now seventeenth aies arena mate.
I appreciate the time today we can't wait to see
you next week.

Speaker 5 (07:41):
Thanks so much for having me. I hope to see you
guys on Wednesday.

Speaker 8 (07:43):
This is Ron Gabby wrapped on camera.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Seehi one at four point seven producer Chelsea, welcome back.

Speaker 9 (07:49):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
What's the problem the problem?

Speaker 9 (07:52):
I need five?

Speaker 1 (07:54):
What's the problem?

Speaker 7 (07:55):
Problem? Which one?

Speaker 9 (07:57):
No, I need some advice from you guys because it's
my Jim Christmas party on Saturday and we've all been
told to bring a dessert.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
Bring a dessert.

Speaker 7 (08:10):
There's also guys, I'm sure out of context.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
I need to stop doing that because you do need
to understand the backstory.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
There was a fight we had on the show about
how when ladies were told to bring a plate back in.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
The era before any of the in this room were born.

Speaker 7 (08:25):
Makes me mad.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Ladies bring a plate?

Speaker 4 (08:27):
No, it still sometimes pops up in some circles, and
that's why it's a problem.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
No one has printed an invitation in twenty twenty anything.
We're on the bottom it says ladies bring a plate.

Speaker 7 (08:38):
I would reckon that that has happened.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
Okay, well, whoever a.

Speaker 7 (08:43):
Oldie tennis club or something.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
I bet it's happened at the lawn bowler. Yes, anyway,
So you're asking for some advice.

Speaker 7 (08:56):
One question first? How many people are attending the Shindic.

Speaker 9 (09:01):
I think there's like over I would say like close
to eighty.

Speaker 7 (09:06):
And you've all been thought this. It makes no sense.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
It's gonna have eighty desserts at a gym function.

Speaker 7 (09:13):
Yeah, we're all again, makes no sense. What's happening?

Speaker 3 (09:16):
You're looking too deep into it, mate, It's eighty desserts.
End of story.

Speaker 7 (09:24):
Just take a protein shape.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
No, take a blender the milk and some protein protein.

Speaker 7 (09:32):
Protein brownie or protein protein balls, protein cookies.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
You would know those make their own protein bars. Will
you hure?

Speaker 7 (09:43):
Absolutely happening?

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, it definitely is.

Speaker 9 (09:46):
No, But I was thinking, should I be the person
that brings a fruit platter?

Speaker 10 (09:52):
Oh my god, there's going to be a million to
forty many think there's gonna be forty fruit platters and
forty protein based desserts.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
We're not using our brains again for the thirteenth time
this morning. It's a gym thing. Gabby and I turn
up with a path and a box of cheesels. We're
going to be run out of there.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
You forget.

Speaker 7 (10:15):
We get to eat the whole path and the whole
box of cheesels. It's not a bad result.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Self serving. Don't listen to us.

Speaker 10 (10:27):
We're not part of that zon, just helping get it
ourselves out.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
We've come to the wrong people for advice.

Speaker 10 (10:35):
This is wrong.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Gabby wrapped on camera four point seven. Our next guest
is a pioneer of the viral moment. You hear about it,
you think about it, It's everywhere. However, where did it start?
And she subsequently grew up in the public eye since
rising to global fame in two thousand and eleven when
this happened, and we all remember the moment, rage and

(11:05):
a still an anthem every Friday since two thy and
eleven to now, and she has had the most extraordinary career.
And also, when I say growing up in the public eye,
you know, a life that social media and having the
presence on YouTube and all the platforms, there's nothing like

(11:26):
what a unique perspective to view the world from. As
she stops in Sydney on her way to Canberra, the
one and only Rebecca Black get a hey, how's it
going well?

Speaker 1 (11:35):
Very well?

Speaker 3 (11:36):
Congratulations. I'm sure you're sick of being congratulated, but can
you even believe maybe you don't think about it for
another decade or two that all those years ago, that
moment leads you to this moment here where you're touring
the world and touring Australia with spilt Milk.

Speaker 8 (11:52):
Yeah, no, it is.

Speaker 6 (11:54):
This entire year specifically has been beyond what I could
have ever dreamed and full of a lot of surprises.

Speaker 8 (12:01):
And I'm having a lot of fun.

Speaker 6 (12:04):
You know.

Speaker 8 (12:04):
I got started when I was so.

Speaker 6 (12:07):
Young and had no yeah, what could have ever light ahead?

Speaker 8 (12:11):
But I am living like my dream career right now,
and it's.

Speaker 6 (12:17):
Full of challenges and full of chaos all the time,
but it it is really so much fun.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
Was it a slow lead up to this point, from
the days of Friday to now touring Australia.

Speaker 7 (12:29):
Were you working in.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
Music and the industry that entire time to get to
this point or did you have a little bit of
a break after Friday went way more viral than I
think even you expected.

Speaker 8 (12:43):
Well, fifteen years doesn't totally go by super quickly.

Speaker 5 (12:50):
It was.

Speaker 8 (12:51):
It's been.

Speaker 6 (12:53):
A really long learning journey, and I mean, obviously with hindsight,
it feels maybe I don't even know what the word
I'm looking for is, but I think every child and
teenager should be investing in culture and whatever that means.
And I think, you know a lot of times that

(13:16):
maybe older generations have talked about TV or the Internet
or music as like kind of like frivolous culture, you know,
but I think that those things getting out and meeting
people and being with friends and experiencing life, making mistakes, partying,
like all of those things are really important into understanding again, like.

Speaker 8 (13:36):
What you what you have to say as a person,
let alone an artist. That's like a whole other thing.

Speaker 6 (13:40):
I mean, I think I really needed to I've always
been doing music and kind of trying to understand what
I've wanted to do with my life. I think I've
been that way since I was really really little, and
dancing since I was like three, and always having some
tow in this world of performance because it is just

(14:01):
what I've always loved. But there were definitely years where
I slowed down tremendously and really just like focused on
being a teenager and focused on being in my early twenties,
and you know, having all of the late nights that
I needed to have to you know.

Speaker 8 (14:16):
Rid myself with parts of life. And I still have
a note you know. I mean, I think we all do.

Speaker 5 (14:22):
So.

Speaker 4 (14:24):
Yeah, it sounds healthy to have been, Yeah, enjoying those
years and not wishing them away or working them away.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
I love Rebecca. It's just the greatest story yours. Thank
you so much for coming back to Australia. We're very
excited to see you here in Canberra and travel psyche
between in Sydney where you are now, and here in
the nation's capital.

Speaker 9 (14:45):
Thank you.
