Speaker 2 (00:06):
Thank you, Jamesie and Hello Gabby, Hello, Welcome back to
Lewis Keeping an eye on in the News. Bethany producing
the show. Hi and hello to you wherever you're listening
across the greatest city in the World or podcast listening
across Australia or the world. Special guests straight into the
studio Mysteriously, Ethan the Kid Comedian and Baby Wears. We'll

(00:27):
find out what they're doing here in just a second.
But in fact these are the young guys. Statistically, Lewis
is your team telling us that they're still living at home?

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Will chances are high? So new stats revealing forty percent
of young adults eighteen to twenty four are still living
with their parents.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Baby Wears is that correct?

Speaker 4 (00:46):
Ah, Yes, absolutely, I definitely could not afford to not
do that.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
You are smart, eating the Kid, Kid comedian, that comedy career.
You're still living at home or are you just living
it up out on the on the mean streets at
home and loving it smart As.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
Someone who just moved out of the parents' house, I
really miss it.

Speaker 5 (01:06):
Don't don't leave, don't ever leave. I regret it. I
regret coming here. No, I don't regret coming here, but
I do regret leaving.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
The parents say that the boys teenagers still you.

Speaker 5 (01:18):
I just turned thirty.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
You got another ten plus years there. Boys, I've said
to my daughters forever. Bob the bird Man, your dad gay.
He feels the same when you when you boomeranged back
there a year or two ago as a young adult.
You've turned back up with this new husband.

Speaker 5 (01:38):
And moved into the granny flat.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
He could not be happy.

Speaker 6 (01:41):
He was very sad that I moved out, despite the
fact I only moved two straights down. I was still
a little sad about It's like, I'm never going to
see you. I'm like, mate, I'm just here.

Speaker 5 (01:51):
I'm not going back to Queensland. It's okay.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
I refuse to even contemplate a life without my daughters
living in the house, even moving to the house next door.
It's too far, too false. I understand your dad's heartbreak.
I get that, Betho. Your old room, now that you've
moved back out for the second time, has been repurposed
into the pool room by the parents.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
No, it's been changed into a library, and my mum
now uses it as her office when she works from home.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
They got over your leaving pretty pretty tough to wak.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
My thirty five year old brother just moved back in,
so they're fine.

Speaker 6 (02:25):
They got one.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Kid full camera all day Camera Rats with Roden Gaddy
six point three.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
All right, So the mystery surrounding the young men's arrival
here in the studio. I'm not sure it actually required
two of them to go, so I don't know what
they've been up to. But even the kid comedian, you
were given the company credit card. And as we celebrate what's.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Today, Lewis, It's National Pickle Day.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
International Pickle Day. We heard yesterday that there's a pickle milkshake?
Where did you go to get it?

Speaker 7 (03:10):
There?

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Even Patty Smith's.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Patty Smith's is the burger place in.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Dixon Dixon, Bell Conan throughout Canberra.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Did you buy yourself something nice while you were there?
I didn't know you haven't had You haven't bought yourself
a pickle milkshake? No, Well, if you guys don't finish yours,
I'll maybe I'll give it a taste. Okay.

Speaker 5 (03:27):
When a guy gives you their card, you use it, okay.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
Trust me, you spell the money.

Speaker 6 (03:33):
She's gone shopping in there already.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
This is why her dad was happy for her to
move out of home. Maybe Where's Did you try any
of it?

Speaker 8 (03:41):
Mate?

Speaker 3 (03:42):
No, I haven't, but I'd also be willing to give
it a go if you guys don't finish it.

Speaker 6 (03:47):
It's anonymous color, it's a real It almost looks like
Raider's milk. But the smell, the smell is not of that.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Maybe where you've brought extra pickles in a in a
separate container, all doney.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
No, so that is sort of like a pairing. I
thought it would be funny. Maybe you guys would take
a bite of the pickle.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
And then pair it with a bit of a sip
of the milk my pleasure.

Speaker 5 (04:11):
What are our thoughts of Ethan's stepping in for me?

Speaker 2 (04:15):
So you're out? Are you?

Speaker 6 (04:16):
You've got to be in because I'm out because I'm
not gluten freeze. Unfortunately I can't participates have a strong smell.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
I'm smelling the milkshake and the pickles that we have
in front of us.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
Is it cheating if I block my nose because they
say you can't taste if you block your nose.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
What are they charging us for this? What are they
charging their ethen.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
Seven bucks a pop? What I thought it was a
special deal today. I think through the app, but we
went in stall. If you do through the I think
it's two dollars.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
If it was Ethan's credit card, you would have gone
through the app, all right. So if anyone's wondering, because
what I did talk up the virtues all pickle flavored
ice cream yesterday. But I'm putting my money where my
mouth is now literally Lewis and I will will take
one for the team, the team being Canberra as a whole.
Should you do it? Here we go.

Speaker 5 (05:13):
Watching me don't.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Oh wow, that that's good, fantastic.

Speaker 4 (05:21):
Look weird taste not as bad as it could have been.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
That is the greatest flavor good.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
It's definitely pickle taste.

Speaker 5 (05:30):
Tastes like a cheeseburger, vinegary or milky.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
It's milky. There's a sweetness there that's good. It's quite strange.
It like messes with your head.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
It's not as bad as a sweet and sour.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
There's like a sourness in the middle and then it
comes back sweet again.

Speaker 6 (05:49):
It's like Poe was saying, you've got the ones that
punch her and the ones that stay on the palette longer.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
If you miss that inter of you. Poe was speaking
about food scientists and they were speaking about flavors, not
actually attacking anyone. All right, even the kid comedian baby
wears you've done an amazing job. They're well done. And
guess what, there's a lot of leftover milkshake for you boys.
It's what young blogs still live at. Homemade drink, isn't it.

(06:17):
Of course a lot of people milkshare.

Speaker 5 (06:19):
Would you like this here? That's your commission?

Speaker 3 (06:21):
Sure, Okay, that's hesitant.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Sure, Bethany producing the show. Those who have been listening
to the stations here Mix and Hit for many, many,
many years, well, remember Bethany was.

Speaker 9 (06:36):
She was a store wart, a start, a permanent fixture
of your work day, listening on Hit one oh four
point seven for years years ago.

Speaker 5 (06:48):
I'm going to put that on my resume store store water.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
It's a great thing. And you used to want to
be called it doesn't sound good. It's a good thing.
It is you. You had a segment on.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
There yes called Scoopla Yes, until you can do it
because apparently I spoke too long.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
It's all coming back to me, but it's come back
to me too late. As for the first time in
what must be six.

Speaker 5 (07:15):
Seven years, I'm going to say eight years.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
I years where Scoopla, by the way, was a super
cool way of saying entertainment news.

Speaker 6 (07:24):
It was like the scoop of la Hollywood, scoop La
scoop la.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
So it's bad.

Speaker 4 (07:34):
Okay over here in Hollywood, guys, would you like to
know the gus okay jokes.

Speaker 5 (07:38):
I'll do it my normal.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
This is why canceled.

Speaker 6 (07:43):
We haven't even started, and you're already regretting already.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
We're off the I am very excited though, because there's
lots of goths to talk about today, including the fact
that one of our favorite movies from the nineties, Happy Gilmore,
is coming back. There is going to be a sequel.
Adam Sandler is going to be in it, and we're
going to be getting more of this gear.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Oh, we have to take the house, and if you
can't get the money together in ninety days, we're going
to have to sell the house to someone else.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
Yeaht me, don't you.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
No, no, no, I don't hate you. It was you know,
the great you know cliched storyline of the bank's going
to repossess the house, or the bank's going to take
the community center or whatever it was to create this
ad the serial storyline, and then we thought that was it,
and then out of nowhere the guy his arch nemesis

(08:36):
and I'm looking around the room like someone's going to know,
which are absolutely something?

Speaker 6 (08:39):
Mcga shoot McGavin, right, shoot up shoot.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
McGavin came out in an interview the other day, like
a few weeks ago and said, yeah, I was talking
to Adam and we're doing a sequel, And Adam called
him and said, at which point he had to come
out and say something Netflix of Green, that.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
Is great, correct, Yeah, it's going to be twenty eight
years later while it is now, so by the time
we get it, yeah, probably like thirty years later.

Speaker 6 (09:09):
Thank god, it's thirty years later and they're not trying
to look younger. Yeah, that would have not been believable.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
But wait, there's more.

Speaker 5 (09:17):
Yes, in more, No Salgian, Who's news Today?

Speaker 4 (09:19):
We found out that Reese withings Stern so pretty.

Speaker 5 (09:25):
I cannot talk to you with a spoon.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
Is going to be the executive producer too.

Speaker 5 (09:32):
Not a sequel, but a prequel.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
Of one of the best wrong cons of all time,
Legally Blonde.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
People love this film.

Speaker 6 (09:42):
I'm excited by this. I'm very excited by this. And
Reese Witherspoon has brought some amazing episodes like Big Little
Lies and a Perfect Strangers, Like that's all her production house.

Speaker 5 (09:53):
So I didn't know.

Speaker 6 (09:54):
She's got some good experience in a series.

Speaker 5 (09:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
So the rumor is started by Gabby in the meeting
before the show Reese's daughter would be the right age
to play the high school version of Reese's original character,
and they're turning so, you know, as far as it
looking like it makes.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
Sense, Ava Philippey is her is her name because it's
the daughter of Ryan Philippey and Reese wan.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Spoon Willingston.

Speaker 5 (10:27):
What I'm saying, Yeah.

Speaker 6 (10:28):
She does look exactly like her, but I don't know
if she wants to be an actress.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Sober it's Reese Willingston. And that, by the way, is
not the last story in Seer.

Speaker 4 (10:40):
Yep, just when you thought we were over, Paris Hilton
and Nicole Ritchie have confirmed that they are reuniting. They're
obviously best friends again, and there is going to be
a remake.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
Of the Simple life.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
Well, it's slightly going to be different, a different reality
show concept, but still the besties are getting back together.

Speaker 5 (10:58):
We're going to get more of this.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
We mentioned this the other day after we played Dancing
on the Stealing Ceiling like Light Willington. Nichole's dad is
Lionel and we like his music and we mentioned it.
And now it's back and all roads lead back to
Cambra Raps. That was muscle memory. Mate, you went back

(11:32):
into scoopla like here you hadn't missed eight years some.

Speaker 5 (11:35):
More anentertainment gas.

Speaker 4 (11:37):
You just got a girl to mix one a six
point three mix one at six three dot com dot
a you okay, Well I like it with the accent better.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
I do too. Let's see if it comes back again.
Time will tell.

Speaker 5 (11:50):
Maybe your podcast camera.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
Rapped loose with the news. Shortly after we revealed the
bell Connontown planners finished Bell Connan and went, we forgot
something I wanted that out yesterday. They're men and women
of action. They've gone back to the drawing board and
are we able to put something in that weird sort

(12:13):
of half hole dip opposite the entrance to Westfield Bell Connon.
We're going to find out with Lewis in the next
five minutes. However, Bethany is here producing the show, and
I don't subscribe to any of your conspiracy theories except.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
One, Oh conspiracy rod, look out, Well, this isn't a conspiracy,
this is fat Now.

Speaker 6 (12:36):
There have been rumors when every conspiracy theory starts.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
With you, and then after it's fact, there have been.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
Rumors everyone knows and has speculated for a very long
time about the secret underground Canberra tunnels around Parliament House.

Speaker 6 (12:55):
So you say something I never had heard.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Really feel like i'd heard about it enough to the
point that I thought it was fact, and then once
I discovered it wasn't, you know, stated as a fact.
I just can't believe we would not put them there.

Speaker 6 (13:15):
Yeah, that makes sense.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Well, Disneyland has a whole second world underneath it, namely Disney.

Speaker 6 (13:21):
That's how they get rid of all the rubbish, and
so the characters when they're swapping don't get seen.

Speaker 5 (13:27):
Oh my gosh, Yeah, what else is going down down there?

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Well, this thing you never know because it's meant to
be a secret. So I understand Parliament House tunnels are
meant to be a secret. Howe Bethany has been on
the case and we will have well next week we
have someone who will go on the record who claims
to know the real details about I don't know if
we're going to be seeing blueprints or not, but that's
next week. However, in your research, you've come across someone

(13:54):
who has broken an NDA to speak with you correct
non disclosure agreement.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
And I'm actually really scared to say this in the radio.
I must say, like if saying happens to me other week,
and you know where I am.

Speaker 5 (14:05):
No, I actually okay.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
Defense does not want us to know this because it's
like security, right, But I I'm just going to tell every.

Speaker 6 (14:16):
I'm happy to put the country at risk.

Speaker 5 (14:19):
Yeah, as long as we get good ratings.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
There's no guarantees that, but anyway.

Speaker 5 (14:24):
That's all right.

Speaker 4 (14:25):
So there is an electrician right who one of my
girlfriends was dating, and he signed an NDA and he
had previously worked on the tunnels right inside these tunnels
makes sense.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
There has to have been a sparky.

Speaker 5 (14:41):
It has to be electricity.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Dumb, of course there is.

Speaker 6 (14:43):
They're not carrying a flame through these tunnels.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
Can imagine elbow fumbling and bumbling his way through there
with a bloody flame. We're not doing that. You need
an electrician. Of course, you got an electricity.

Speaker 5 (14:57):
I have more, I have more details.

Speaker 4 (14:59):
All right, he's broken his NBA to tell my my
one of my girlfriends, who's now told me Now talk camera.

Speaker 5 (15:06):
I know what suburb one of the tunnels is in.

Speaker 6 (15:10):
I thought it's just Parliament House.

Speaker 4 (15:11):
No, there are tunnels that connect to various locations around
Canbra and so.

Speaker 5 (15:17):
That's why they exist.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
So that security, you know, politicians and important people can
seely travel.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
You need escape tunnels in case emergencies. Lewis old Parliament House.
How old? When when was that first bill?

Speaker 6 (15:34):
Put him on the spot.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Well, yeah, but pre Cold War times, in other words,
war times. So you're building something from scratch. You're thinking about, okay,
what if we, you know, come under attack. We need
to get the leader of the country out of here safely.
You don't go, oh, well, we're not going to dig
a tunnel because it's too hard. We're digging tunnels tunnels.

Speaker 5 (15:57):
Would you like to know the suburb?

Speaker 4 (16:00):
Yeah, okay, girlfriend has has seen the opening to one
of these tunnels.

Speaker 5 (16:08):
Yeah, and it is. They're literally ventilation stacks around this area.
It's in Barty.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
Absolutely wonder if this leads to the urban legend of
the underground bunker.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
What's now tell us more about if.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
It all does go bad, which it could mean a
rounderneath Parliment House.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
I think any good, any sense? It's like a doomsday, Yes,
but you still have comms so that you can manage
the defenses.

Speaker 6 (16:46):
How many tin tomatoes do they have down there?

Speaker 5 (16:49):
A lot more than we do. Guys, why do we
say this on the radio? Because now we're just given
up our spot in the bunker.

Speaker 6 (16:56):
Now everyone's going to know where the help managing the car.

Speaker 5 (17:02):
We'll entertain them with a radio show.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
I wish. I believe it's Lewis is going to give
us the news in just a moment. Pizza, Heart lovers,
Pizza with a lot. They'd call it a supreme, don't they.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
I've never heard that term pizza with the lot. Yeah,
burgers for sure.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
The generational discoveries that happened on this ship. My advice
if you're a gen Zea or a millennial, the greatest
source of education in this country is this show.

Speaker 6 (17:39):
So many revelations, it just it never ceased.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
A pizza with a loss, So the lot was you know,
that was the norm if you want a pizza with everything,
and then Pizza Heart turn up, you know, and they
introduced the Supreme. Everyone's excited about the Supreme. But the
og Supreme is the.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
Lot like you mean it? Like the local takeaways?

Speaker 2 (17:58):
Sure, yeah, yeah, around the world, the local takeaways around
the world. Anyway, the question will be answered. He is
that ham or spam? That's good find out in just
a second before we get to that. See, Chris Pratt
started trending yesterday the.

Speaker 6 (18:16):
Actor about the Mother's Day post.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
Someone got back to his posts.

Speaker 6 (18:23):
Well, Chris Pratt is from Jurassic Park, right, that's right.

Speaker 8 (18:25):
I know.

Speaker 6 (18:26):
He put up a Mother's Day post to talk about
his beautiful wife, to say thanks for being great mum.
But he always gets slammed because he doesn't reference his
ex wife who's the mother of his son on Mother's Day,
and people get very upset about it.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Maybe she's not great at.

Speaker 5 (18:43):
Or maybe she is.

Speaker 6 (18:45):
I don't know, but maybe he just wants to talk
about his wife.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
To my wife's day.

Speaker 6 (18:52):
Great point, she's also the mother of his child.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah, so Louis, you're in defense of Chris Pratt. Gabby
is free to fight everybody.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
Don't even transport it because neither of those are his mum.

Speaker 5 (19:04):
No, but they're.

Speaker 6 (19:05):
Both his children.

Speaker 5 (19:09):
Don't do a mother's posttunately.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
I bring up Chris Pratt not because of any of
this O. People are upset at another post, a historical
post of sorts. Seems like a few months ago he
put a post up that read quote, anyone in the
LA area want a cat?

Speaker 5 (19:31):
Is that it?

Speaker 2 (19:32):
Yeah? So it's just given a cat? Is softloading his cat?

Speaker 6 (19:35):
That's sad, poor cat.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
That's what people said, way to do it. People were
hard on him. They said, well, you know, what type
of vetting process are you going to go through? Put
the person through. This is just a random post. You're
a big celebrity, million people follow you. What it's just
some local lunatic in the LA area. I'll take a cat.
Is that good enough for you? Chris Pratt? People are

(19:59):
over looking He's great with the animals, Like the dinosaurs.
Are you sure dinosaurs? The dinosaurs were attacking everyone. Chris
Pratt looks him in the eye and goes, hey, follow me.
I'm going to be on a motorbike and the dinosaur's god,
let's go.

Speaker 6 (20:12):
I I trust Chris Pratt, other people don't Lewis, what
do we need to know?

Speaker 2 (20:19):
In real news?

Speaker 3 (20:20):
Well, Energy, housing, and immigration are said to be the
main focus of Peter Dutton's budget reply tonight. Earlier this week,
the federal government announced a three hundred dollar energy rebate
for every Elsey household, regardless of whether they're struggling or not.
Speaking of other famous Chris's Ossie, actor Chris Hemsworth will
be honored in Hollywood next week, finally getting his very

(20:43):
own star on the Walk of Fame, and a two
and a half million dollar fine has been dished to
Pizzahut for breaching spam laws, not him. The fast food
giants sent more than ten million illegal texts and emails,
some to customers that didn't even sign up for them.

Speaker 5 (21:03):
How are they legal?

Speaker 6 (21:04):
Like did they not have the unsubscribed button or the
yeah they legally have to have because I hate that
when someone texts me there's no unsubscribe option or they
say text stop to.

Speaker 5 (21:15):
This number and I'm like just stop. Yeah, yeah, don't
make it hard for me.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Layers of complexity so that legally they can get away
with it, but you sure as hell can't. Somehow get
rid of this.

Speaker 6 (21:25):
But I love banter deal, so it's not spam to you.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
Yeah, what's what's the problem.

Speaker 5 (21:30):
We decided this spam to you is not do others,
and it's.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Not you know, it's not tined spam. So this could
have been much worse.

Speaker 5 (21:39):
It would have been much worse.

Speaker 6 (21:40):
Imagine they were using spam on their pizzas now that
I'd be angry about.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
And the fine.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Yeah, the marketing guys over at Pizza Hut are freaking
out today, not because of the fine, because the headlines
that Pizza Hut and spam are put together. People aren't
ordering that.

Speaker 5 (21:57):
Mixed six threes. Running Gabby for your driver is camera cracks.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Happy International Pickle Day if you are joining us for
the first time. This afternoon, Lewis and I have done
the taste test. We took the metaphorical bullet for a
city to see whether or not pickle flavored milk shakes
are a good idea. And the answer, Lewis is, I'm
not sure.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
I thought it was a definitive yes before I'm still
going online.

Speaker 5 (22:26):
You're halfway through it, so come be that bad.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
That is a categorical yes. Celebrate good times.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
Come on it's good, but I think it's just messing
with my mind that flavors shouldn't be sweet.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
There's more than there's something going on. Yeah, something that
was messing with the mind of town planners yesterday. It
was how they forgot to put a school in Belconnon. Yeah,
and by the way, the rest of us went, yeah,
we failed to notice that as well. But I think
an area, as you say, Lewis that primarily developed around
retail and you know, government buildings. From a residential point

(23:04):
of view, it wasn't top of mind. But things have changed.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
And there wasn't many people living there. Now we've got
all those high rises, young families moving into apartments, have
got kids that need to go to school.

Speaker 6 (23:16):
And they ain't no school.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
So do we have a location? Do we have a
short list? Because we said the master plan must have
at least left a vacant block somewhere.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
Yeah, you guys identified the dips. So this went to
the assembly. All three parties in the a city legious
sort of assembly said actually, yeah, this is a really
good idea. Actually this we forgot to know how we
miss this. So now they'll conduct a feasibility study into
suitable I guess locations and viability of a public primary

(23:45):
and secondary school hopefully, And.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
Look the great thing, well, there is a block of
land obviously opposite the normal, the normal whatever it is,
what's meant to be the main entrance to Westfield bill
Connon that we forget is there.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
It's the old medical center. I think we figured out.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
The Yes, the block that's now vacant. And I don't
know why you dig down when you're clearing something off. Behave.
I'm not a clear and land guy. The great news
that really is going to come out of this is
the new sporting team that will obviously come from the
school or the schools. But you are absolutely you can

(24:25):
the bell Connon.

Speaker 6 (24:28):
That's ours to the house.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
I get at bill Connon bats. It's fine.

Speaker 5 (24:35):
I don't know where you're going.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
What else can it be? Do we have any teams
called the bill Connon Owls? Surely? Probably in maybe some
midweek indoor cricket somewhere.

Speaker 6 (24:47):
Schools have names for their teams.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
They're just named after the school.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yeah yeah, but it's bell Connon Primary, you 'or bill
Connon High.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
Right. I've noticed more recently they've been giving public schools
kind of cool names after people or places, or yeah, well.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Who's who's Belco's most famous resident? A couple of seconds,
if we are going to name a school after bell
Conin's most famous famous resident.

Speaker 5 (25:22):
It's.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
All right, Well that's fixed. They just need to build it.
So we can't do more than web done, don't we know?
In just a second, Gabby will give us some insight
into why her husband won't eat her banana bread.

Speaker 6 (25:42):
I want to know if you would eat it after
what happened.

Speaker 7 (25:52):
Bread?

Speaker 2 (25:53):
What's wrong with my banana bread?

Speaker 6 (25:57):
It is a legitimate she minds out the gunners?

Speaker 2 (26:02):
Is that the is that the milkshake? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (26:04):
The pickles?

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Got make your podcast camera wrapped.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
This is the thing that you hear people say. You
hear people say my husband wanted my banana bread.

Speaker 5 (26:14):
I've never heard that being said.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
It's it's you'd be surprised, if you'd be surprised, would
you be surprised? So it happens, but people don't talk
about it. But he's going to talk about it.

Speaker 5 (26:25):
I am going to talk about it.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
And he's not interested.

Speaker 5 (26:28):
He's not interested in my banana bread.

Speaker 6 (26:29):
And I want to know if you'd eat my banana
bread in this second step.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
I don't think I would, but.

Speaker 6 (26:40):
Read, okay, you pickle milkshakes. She don't have my standards.
So I made banana bread on the weekend, real banana bread,
actual legitimate banana bread with bananas. And my husband enjoys
chock chips in the banana bread, so I.

Speaker 5 (27:00):
Made sure I put chock chicks in it so that
he would be interested. Just going downhill anyway.

Speaker 6 (27:09):
Confusing that what happened was the oven broke. We didn't
realize it had completely getting wors was We didn't realize
the oven had completely just stopped working. And so I
made up the entire batter and I went to put
it in the oven, and it wasn't heating up.

Speaker 5 (27:26):
So I was like, let I do this.

Speaker 6 (27:28):
So I called my mum and I said, Mom, put
the oven on. I'm coming around.

Speaker 5 (27:36):
I drive out to my mother's house.

Speaker 6 (27:41):
I've got the banana bread in its tin. And you
put it on the floor of the passenger side of
the car because that's the flatter.

Speaker 5 (27:49):
Spot to put something.

Speaker 6 (27:51):
And because it's it's mushy batter, you don't want it
on an angle because it'll spill over onto the seat.
So it's on the ground in the passenger footwell. As
I'm driving, my nail broke off, and I was like, oh,
that's annoying. So I ripped it off with my teeth,
and then as you do, I went to put it

(28:13):
onto the ground, because you're not going to put on
the seat. So I went to put on the ground
in the passenger foot well, and then I went.

Speaker 5 (28:21):
The banana breads down there. So it's such. As I
got to my mum's.

Speaker 6 (28:24):
House, I was able to pull out the banana bread right,
I could see the nail on the top of the batter. Okay,
so I picked it off, flicked it into the garden,
and I put it in the oven.

Speaker 5 (28:34):
And cooked the banana bread.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
Not a problem here, I.

Speaker 5 (28:37):
Told my husband the story. Now he won't eat my
banana bread.

Speaker 6 (28:39):
So it's not a problem because I get the.

Speaker 5 (28:41):
Whole loaf to myself. But is that is that gross?

Speaker 2 (28:44):
It's just a nail?

Speaker 3 (28:45):
Somehow, this is worse than I've got this story.

Speaker 7 (28:49):
Wise.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
I called confusion early, and I've maintained that right the
way through. If we're just to take this story by
face value.

Speaker 5 (28:59):
I ate my own banana bread.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Now, all right, it's over. It's over. Well, I hung
in there as long as I could with the pickle milkshake,
and I think I like it, but it's it's it's
a lot, and I.

Speaker 6 (29:20):
Barely got an inch into it. Well it's a lot,
so Lewis has almost finished his.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
Well, Lewis, you hit that hard all right on International
Pickle Day, whether or not you enjoy a slice or
an entire giant milkshake like Lewis, I hope you enjoy
the day. It is mixed on a six point three
is campra rap Rod and Gabby for the run home
onto a food stuff that people seem a little more.
I don't know. People got excited about the milkshake, but
it's not super exciting. Yeah, not on not to the

(29:48):
same degree, not on mass like they did around this
big news.

Speaker 6 (29:51):
This is so exciting because star Burst fruit shoes are
back inly so these are the square Starbursts that are
raps and they hard to un wraps sometimes with the
so yummy and they would discontinued a while back, but
only in Australia. So while we're excited they're back at Woolies,
be quick to get them because it's only a limited time.
Because they were bringing in the UK manufactured version just

(30:14):
because customers wanted to see them on the shelves. So
they're doing that. I reckon it's to test the waters
to see how they go. Yeah, but they won't be
there for long and not at every Woolies. So get
your skates on and start searching around Canberra to see
where they are looking news.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
To here's a huge hassle.

Speaker 6 (30:34):
Good lucks still good news. Oh if you do online
you'll be run.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
Someone said after we were discussing and then sampling the
Milo Mocker combination. Yeah, that they were excited about that.
And then I said it's only your Coles and I said,
well that's the end of that.

Speaker 6 (30:51):
You're either a Coles or a Woolies person.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
I'm happy to mix it up. Right, you do have
a primary go to, don't you? What do we need
to know?

Speaker 7 (30:58):
The news this.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
Afternoon Slovakia's Prime minister is now out of surgery and
in a stable condition after an assassination attempt overnights Right.
Local media says the suspect is a seventy one year
old former security guard back in Australia, and overall hospitalizations
are on the rise. In fact, Ozzie spent a combined

(31:21):
thirty three million days in hospital last financial year, according
to new stats. And a Western Sydney council has reversed
its been on same sex parenting books at its libraries
after more than four hours of fiery debate overnight.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
The only astounding part of this is that it took
four hours for common sense to prevail. However, we did
say a week ago that four representatives or a representative
from that council to speak on behalf of every member
of their community. I felt like that was a career
ending move by inadvertently labeling every single person in that

(32:00):
council area are biggers, and understandably many have taken offense
at that as well. They should definitely showed up last night.
And I can only I can. I can't even imagine
when you're trying to explain common sense to someone who
doesn't understand it, It's it seems impossible.

Speaker 6 (32:22):
That's why it took four hours. Well, yes, you would
have been going around in circles.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
Yes, to explain that the same sex couple two dads
or two mums are no more sexualized than a male
and a female mum and a dad. Yeah, I know,
I just said it in pretty simplified terms.

Speaker 6 (32:40):
That's because that's it, But that's so incomprehensible to some people,
which is so silly. It's mine, mum and mum or
dad and dad. There's nothing sexual about that, correct.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
And I said last week I wasn't even going to try.
And I know I've said it in what is to me,
the most obvious way that it can be said. There
is no other part that needs to go into it
four to work that out. So what I said last week,
I'm just going to repeat, and that is kids, if
you do have two mums or you do have two dads,
and you do want to learn more about it, the

(33:11):
good news is at that library they might have moved
that book, but you can find that book. And as
far as how you're feeling in the world, kids, make
sure we're all in unique and different situations and circumstances
that people might not necessarily be able to relate to personally,
but we're all in it together. And make sure you

(33:32):
just support your mates, no matter who their parents. After
crying out loud some guy wants to move a book,
he's not helping, but you can find that book. You
can have those conversations with smart people are your friends,
and it sounds as though the majority of people in
that council area are also smart and also supportive, which is.

Speaker 6 (33:52):
Good to know because we were being told otherwise.

Speaker 3 (33:55):
Yeah, correat. The reason it took four hours is they
actually had people from the public register to speak at
this meeting. Off the top of I had I think
that maybe there were sixteen people registered to speak, so
lots to get through and as it appears, lots of support.

Speaker 5 (34:12):
Your podcast camera wrapped.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
So many great comedians at the Sydney Comedy first of all,
but only I don't want to put the other ones down.
I was gonna say, but only a few truly great ones.
And my measure is that true comedy greats are great
not because they're funny. They're great because they have an
ability to reflect our lives, which God knows aren't or

(34:38):
barrels of laughs and then manage sensitive subject matter with
warmth and then make us laugh. That's an extraordinary, intelligent
and skillful storyteller. And so we're fortunate to have a
comedian with such abilities, the fantastic Nikki Osborne. Today.

Speaker 10 (34:57):
I was really worried where you were going with when
you say it's not necessarily funny, like, well is going
to be funny?

Speaker 2 (35:06):
It was going one in two ways, wasn't it.

Speaker 10 (35:08):
But I was worried you're going to say she's good
looking to me, tear you and do whatever I could.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
I'd like to think those days are gone.

Speaker 10 (35:19):
Yeah no, that's even worse too well to be good.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Look, that's exactly right.

Speaker 10 (35:27):
You can't win. You can't win, mate, Sorry, I am
woman to hear me raw I I.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
Will, And then you know your your audience does. Because
your stand up material includes your experience with family members
who are on the autism spectrum, you occasionally receive backlash.
But I wonder if that resistance comes from people who
have actually seen your shows or those who just don't
like the idea of it.

Speaker 10 (35:53):
Yes, no, no one actually does their research nowadays. In fact,
people don't even watch a full video through an article
before they hire up, you know. No, I've never actually
had anyone complain after the show, funnily enough, exactly, yeah, no, people.

Speaker 9 (36:10):
Are all on.

Speaker 10 (36:14):
Honestly, I don't know how any comedian survives the mental
turmoil that is posting your stuff online. Like, honestly, it's
such a tumultuous ground as a comic online. You're better
off just keeping all your stuff offline. Have people turn
up to the show, they realize you're not a dick,
and they have a good laugh, and then they go

(36:36):
and they recommend you to your friends.

Speaker 6 (36:38):
So yeah, is that your tagline, not a dick, recommend
me to your friends?

Speaker 10 (36:46):
For most shows, yes, this one, I'm not a dick.
But yeah, so at me, like in like a speakeasy
kind of show, I might be a little nasty. I
do like to do a bit of a roast, but
usually you know, I just went hard on Perth because
they're all five FO workers. I felt like they earned it.
Oh yeah, but yeah, No, in this show, I'm not

(37:06):
a dick, and it's a very funny show and I'm
reasonably attractive, but it's more about the last.

Speaker 6 (37:13):
The show sounds absolutely amazing and if anyone wants to
see it is happening tonight and across the weekend. I
do want to talk Dancing with the Stars though, because
you've put up a video the announce that you're going
to be part of it, and you captioned it, look mom,
I am semi famous, which I.

Speaker 5 (37:29):
Love because we all know you are. But have you
got your twinkle toes.

Speaker 6 (37:33):
Ready, you're going to do some dancing on stage as
part of the show tonight. I know it's already a
set show, but you could, you know, just come out dancing.

Speaker 10 (37:41):
Look, if the show starts the bomb, I might start dancing.
But I must say it's very hard to do ballroom
without your partner. I'd be trying to do the quick
step and it just wouldn't work. But yeah, No, when
I say, SAMMI famous that I'm famous enough that when

(38:02):
I'm at a restaurant they look at me funny and
they get my order wrong. So famous that they know
exactly who I am.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
Right, they do that. I know you from somewhere, and
you don't want to look like a tool and say wow,
down through the stars. So what do you say?

Speaker 10 (38:20):
Normally I just say, yeah, you might have seen me
on porn Hub because I can't wait for it to
come out. It'll be great. I got to wear all
the pretty dresses and it was awesome.

Speaker 6 (38:36):
So it's already filmed, all of it.

Speaker 10 (38:38):
Yeah, it's in the camp.

Speaker 5 (38:40):
So do we know who that? Do you know who
the winner is?

Speaker 10 (38:44):
No, none of us. Do they do it in such
a way where you don't know.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
Are you this? This happens every season to be someone
who seems to exceed expectations and then you find that
they study dance for like, you know, the first sixteen
years of their lives, had another career and then when
we're called on to go on Dancing with the Stars,
muscle memory kicked in and they were able to dominate.
Is there anything we need to know about your dance background?

Speaker 10 (39:12):
I can safely assure you I am not that person.

Speaker 2 (39:19):
OK, and that's where you want.

Speaker 6 (39:22):
I can't wait.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
People get very cynical and upset if someone is a
good dancer.

Speaker 6 (39:26):
On Dancing with This web I was on thereset.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Yeah, she knows what she's doing. So what However, we
do love an underdog and so forget about Nicki websit.
We're very excited that Nicky Osborne is going to be
out there showing us how it's done. We can't wait
to see you on the Telly with that. But congratulations
on everything that you're achieving in the comedy world and
the Sydney Comedy Festival. When can we see nick.

Speaker 6 (39:51):
Nikki's show is at the Comedy Fest tonight through to Sunday.
Tickets are at Sydney Comedyfest dot com.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
Thank you so much for all your time this afternoon.

Speaker 10 (39:59):
Nikki awesome. You guys are being great.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
Gabby's powerball hack coming up in minutes.

Speaker 6 (40:08):
I don't want to share it.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
You're on to shared a hack on one hundred million both,
did you're true?

Speaker 5 (40:16):
I've got my ticket this morning.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
Can you I would love I would love you to win,
and then I'd love to hear about the other winners
and maybe one of them from Canberra and they say,
you know what, I never would have won if it
weren't for Gabby's powerball hack. And you know that your
hack ended up literally costing you potentially tens of millions
of dollars.

Speaker 6 (40:33):
And if someone wins and I don't, but they went
off the back of my hack, I do expect to share.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
Right, That's completely fair. So if you're listening to the
next bit, no, it'll cost you, and that's coming up
in a second. Bethany producing the show, do you know
about this snake's in a ute?

Speaker 5 (40:51):
No?

Speaker 4 (40:51):
But I was horrified as soon as I saw that
on the whiteboard today because I'm very scared of snakes.

Speaker 5 (40:57):
Are you so horrified?

Speaker 4 (40:59):
I have nightmares about them like I actually have a
recurring dream.

Speaker 6 (41:03):
Yeah, well this is going to be the stuff of
your nightmare. Okay, literally, because a Newcastle woman does have
a snake, a red belly black snakes or poisonous snake
living in her.

Speaker 5 (41:16):
Ute, pleased, not as a pet.

Speaker 6 (41:20):
Oh you can't have a red belly black as a pet.

Speaker 5 (41:22):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (41:22):
So I have a theory that anyone who has snakes
as pets, Oh, psychopuffs.

Speaker 6 (41:29):
You have always wanted a pet snake?

Speaker 5 (41:31):
What always?

Speaker 6 (41:32):
My friend had a pet snake when I was a kid,
and I used to go around and.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
I am shocked because you're not a psychopath.

Speaker 6 (41:39):
But you're not as I want to be.

Speaker 5 (41:43):
Anyway, Chill them, we can be friends.

Speaker 6 (41:45):
This is a woman, her name is Lisa, and she
discovered this red belly black living in her ute when
she thinks it happened when she left her door open
a construction work site where she was working and this snake.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
That was the big question. And I in the tray
in the ute in the she's got.

Speaker 6 (42:05):
A double cab, so she's got back seats and she
found it lying on the back seat.

Speaker 5 (42:10):
Oh no, but she was like, I.

Speaker 6 (42:12):
Can't leave my car here because it's a construction site,
it'll get vandalized. I've got to drive home with the snake.
So she drove home with a snake.

Speaker 4 (42:19):
Surely, if you work at a construction site, you know
someone who can tell you, like, surely.

Speaker 2 (42:25):
What an indictment on construction side, like construction.

Speaker 5 (42:29):
The handyman one of them will have you know. She
was the last one there.

Speaker 6 (42:32):
Lock them up.

Speaker 2 (42:33):
I've got the choice of leaving it a construction site
or driving with a deadly snake. I'll choose a deadly snake.

Speaker 5 (42:39):
That's what she did.

Speaker 6 (42:39):
So she gets home and she's like, all right, I'm
going to try to get rid of this snake. She
has tried three different snake catches to get this snake
out of her ute.

Speaker 5 (42:50):
All three snake.

Speaker 6 (42:51):
Catches have failed. This is what she has to say
about it.

Speaker 8 (42:56):
I've had it the actually interior pulled out twice, and
then cameras, little wormy cameras go into all the nooks
and crannies of the car and they can't find it.
But then the next day the snake is sitting on
my back seat. So I don't know where he's hiding.
But it's a it's a mystery.

Speaker 2 (43:15):
I love this.

Speaker 5 (43:17):
They can't find it. Whenever they look for it, they
can't find he.

Speaker 6 (43:20):
Come out and there he is.

Speaker 4 (43:22):
You know what they should do. I've just completely solved this.
So we know that we know that snake's like the sun, right,
they like the heat. They like to sunbake. So if
they could somehow replicate like a fake sun situation, or
maybe just put the like in the.

Speaker 5 (43:37):
Sun, or maybe give it a snack a rat, Get
a rat, to get a rat.

Speaker 2 (43:43):
Some live rats, release somebody live rats.

Speaker 6 (43:46):
Let's going to solve it.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
I don't want to point the nose out on our face.
If the snake is there every morning.

Speaker 6 (43:55):
Get the snokeketch up a morning thank you. Do you
know what she has done instead? Brought some woolen hands
to protect her legs and she's just driving around with
a snake.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
My god, maybe I wasn't paying attention to start Queensland Newcastle.

Speaker 4 (44:08):
I was going to say that the mail construction drivers
they drive around with the snake every day.

Speaker 5 (44:15):
Not a venomous one.

Speaker 6 (44:16):
I guess.

Speaker 2 (44:21):
What is happening to them? The pickle milk something agree.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
Full camera all day camera racks with rotten Gabby six.

Speaker 2 (44:44):
Point three, good luck out there. Every second one of
us apparently has a ticket to the one hundred million
dollars every second one of Australian adults at least anyway,
that was the stat I heard today, Gaby.

Speaker 6 (45:03):
That's bad odds, isn't it.

Speaker 5 (45:06):
But someone has to win it.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
It happens true time to time though, lois that we
give one hundred million nudge and you do end up
with every second one of us and it's still jackpots
at a certain point. Yeah, it goes off.

Speaker 5 (45:15):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 2 (45:16):
But as far as you versus the statistical challenge of winning,
it's no different today than it would be the other
fifty one draws of the year.

Speaker 6 (45:27):
You know it would be because if it's less money,
that's up. Not everyone bust tickets.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
So I suppose statistically winning it on your own your
chances would increase with a lesser amount.

Speaker 4 (45:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
But as far as you just winning this, you still
need to get the numbers. You need to get the
flu numbers.

Speaker 6 (45:47):
I get what you mean. Yes, okay, sure, so it
doesn't matter how many tickets are out there, It just you.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
Get those numbers. Yeah, I don't know, but.

Speaker 5 (45:55):
I'm to share it.

Speaker 6 (45:56):
That's all because someone else will probably have the numbers too,
because there's that many tickets. But one hundred mil I'm
happy to share. I'll share one hundred mil.

Speaker 2 (46:02):
It's enough there to how many people will you share? Ah?

Speaker 6 (46:06):
Ten? I'd be happy with ten mil.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
That's Jenny good. Yeah, all right, Well in my life.
You you have a hack that you mentioned in passing
last week after it didn't go off, and I know
a lot of people said, well, whoa wall, what was that?
That seems important? Now I don't know if this actually
works everybody.

Speaker 5 (46:27):
But I don't know either.

Speaker 6 (46:29):
I just did it because my husband told me to.
But it's you get the power hit because then that
you pay a little bit more, but it means you
automatically get the powerball number, which means you know one
step closer. And I tend to win every time I
do that. Only small amounts, like twenty bucks or twelve bucks,
but it's something. Yeah, it's better because when you check

(46:52):
the ticket and all the confetti goes off when you're gone,
it's far better than when it goes nah.

Speaker 2 (46:57):
I feel like the confetti needs to be reserved for
something a bit more signally, you.

Speaker 6 (47:03):
Know, because they go whoa You've won, and then they
go to ten dollars.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
You didn't even get your money back. No, no, they
I did. Trying to make me feel good. I've lost.
I'm not one head. No, I had less than I
did before this whole thing. But you got your ticket,
you know I did.

Speaker 6 (47:18):
I went this morning, got mine and my hubbies got
the power hit. You did, yep, I got that, But
I haven't said which ones mine, which on my hubbies
because if one of them wins, that's your one.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
Because what you've gone from sharing with ten to sharing
with eleven. You got yours lose.

Speaker 3 (47:34):
I just bought mine just right now on the phone,
got the power hit.

Speaker 2 (47:38):
You're uncharacteristically quiet. I thought you were looking up some.

Speaker 5 (47:42):
Kind of stats.

Speaker 3 (47:43):
Yes, the stats of my wins. One hundred miles coming
my way hopefully.

Speaker 2 (47:51):
Well, I'm sorry that we've mentioned this now that everyone's
finished to certainly the five o'clock finishes have because that
type of procrastination from lewis that you could have done
and indulgently in the last couple of hours while you're
just counting down to five o'clock. Now you're on your
own time.

Speaker 6 (48:05):
Yeah, that's right. You might get one hundred dollars that.

Speaker 2 (48:08):
It's probably a fair payer. Blair. Jocelyn's going to join
us in just a moment. Top of Your Australia is back.
It's on Paramount Plus.

Speaker 6 (48:15):
It's back, but it is I want to say, better, back,
Bigger than ever I think it might. It looks great
and call us call us biased.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
But he's a Tarago boy, so as far as I'm concerned,
he's a local and we have, you know, a young
Now I'm bringing him even closer. But you know, he's
no stranger to camera out a suburb. He's a camera
boy who is now seeing the world off the back
of a YouTube career that grew to over a billion views.
Because he's a motor enthusiast, loves some of ats and

(48:46):
these sorts of things. Yeah, but a really really interesting bloke.
And I as you know, if you've listened to the show,
you know nothing about cars, but I love this show.
They do some special stuff.

Speaker 6 (48:58):
I had a snake little preview and it looks insane.
You cartgo No, I've never been to some and ads
and don't plan on it, but this looks great.

Speaker 2 (49:08):
I reckon. You love this bloke. We're going to meet
Blair Jocelyn. In just a second, I'm mixed one of
six point threw.

Speaker 5 (49:13):
Your podcast camera wrapped.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
The Australian top Gear. We love it, but it's had
some different versions, some different lives.

Speaker 6 (49:21):
The new version, the refreshed version, looks pretty darn good.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
Is that because of Jonathan.

Speaker 6 (49:26):
Lapalia among other things. Bo Ryan as well.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
Is a handsome looking fellow. And not to mention our
next guest, who is really the symbol of what the
future of TV in Australia is all about, and that
is bringing an established audience of enthusiasts from his life
as a YouTuber, which by the way, is the side hustle.
He's actually I don't know if he likes to be

(49:51):
compared to Charlie Harper from Two and a half Men,
but he's you know, he's a he's a composer for
TV and film and we're very excited have him on
with ID returning to Paramount Plus top Gear Australia tomorrow,
Blair Joscelyn good, a.

Speaker 7 (50:06):
Mate, thank you so much having me. You guys did
your research. That's very very impressive, well done. What an intro.
I liked how you said Jonathan Lapalia. He looks great
bo Ryan. He's good looking and we've got Blair.

Speaker 5 (50:20):
He looked good too.

Speaker 7 (50:22):
Well, you laughed, thanks.

Speaker 2 (50:23):
You look good enough to have over a billion views? Yeah,
I mean it's a number of the people just through
out there. You got a billion views? No, the real
number is over a billion views. How is this blown
up like this?

Speaker 7 (50:35):
Yeah? It's funny, you though, because it's been a really
kind of gradual growth. I've been doing YouTube with my
best mate Marty since two thousand and seven, so sixteen
years ago, and it didn't really have this kind of
Hollywood story where all of a sudden it got really
popular in war Matt, It's just a slow growth, you know,
over almost one and a half decades. And then, about,
you know, a year or so ago, I got a

(50:56):
call from someone pretending though they said that from BBC.
I didn't believe it, so I hung up on them twice,
and I assumed they're a scammer. I was waiting for
the what's your credit card number? I thought they're trying
to sign me up to a BBC channel like on
my TV, and so I hung up on them. And
then eventually I got an email from someone saying, oh,
it's actually about auditioning for top Gear, and I was like,

(51:16):
this scam is good. So I wrote back telling him
to go f themselves.

Speaker 5 (51:19):
Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (51:21):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (51:21):
It was like as if they're asking me. So then
I got a call from a different person who said,
you know, I could actually google them and sure enough
it was legit. I apologized profusely and then agreed to
go to the audition and that's where I met That's
where I met Jonathan and Bow and now here we are.

Speaker 6 (51:39):
I've seen a bit of a snippet of what to
expect for this season and there are some insane activities
that you guys participate in. What was the one that,
if you're able to talk about it, that maybe scared
the pants off yet.

Speaker 7 (51:54):
Probably what scared the pants off me the most was
kind of traveling across Columbia and a lot of people
would say, you know, Columbia might be kind of known
for its drug trade or kidnapping and things like that.
It wasn't that at all. It was being stuck with
bau Riot for over a week. That was the most
frightening thing that happened. And by the end I was
trying to call the cartel asking them to come and

(52:14):
take me away. He is a man that he doesn't
look favorably upon clothing and as such he is happy
to get naked at any any occasion. And at one
point in that show, the two guys they did crash
into my car, ruptured my fuel tank, and my car
caught on fire while I was inside it. Oh my god,
which I thought I was going to die. But they
thought it was hilarious and they didn't come to help me.

(52:35):
They just made sure everyone was still filming.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
Well, he both can't. He's wearing a shirt, it's on fire.
He's not protected. You know, he's got bare skin. It
is a wild concept. People love top gear, all the
different versions and iterations, and the Australian versions no exception.
I think, you know most famously when you talk about,
you know, coming closest to death of all the hosts

(52:58):
over the years, Richard Hammond. I guess one of the
original Trio. I think he was driving a jet powered
rocket car over a desert somewhere and things went wrong,
and I think he still carry some of those injuries
to this day. Is there anything that you've had to
say no to?

Speaker 7 (53:18):
Look, there was. Most of the things they were kind
of organized and on a serious note, you know, safety
was obviously huge for them. We worked with BBC Studios
in Australia, but also the original Top the UK crew
that have been making the show for twenty years, so
you have safety drivers and people teaching me about the
cars and things like that. But there was a particular
incident we had where they closed down Mount Desuvius in

(53:39):
Italy and then we had supercars for us to race
to the top. And as you will see tomorrow in
the premiere or if you've seen the trailer, not all
supercars made it back to the manufacturer. So I'll let
the rest speak for itself. When you have a look
at the first step of.

Speaker 2 (53:54):
Bode, yes is awesome. You've described the trailer for furs,
the horizon, You've described the thing that isn't real. You
know that we have to get on the xbox to achieve.
They closed down Mount Vesuvius so that you could actually
film a segment for a TV show.

Speaker 7 (54:15):
This is wrong, and I mean in Colombia they closed
an airport, they closed Rome for us to race through.
I mean, at one point this was the bit for
me where I kind of like I'm not in YouTube anymore.
Toto when we were in Rome and we had to
get from one side of the city to the other.
We weren't even filming, but I had a police escort
that would do a green light corridor. You know what
that is. They close all of the roads for you.

(54:37):
And I'm in a supercar going through Rome cobble streets
one hundred and fifty kilometers an hour, and I could
not keep up with the police and the waving at
me and yelling at me, and I went, I'm in
the computer game now, I'm actually I'm on the wrong
side of the road. They're moving the traffic aside, and
the police are leap flogging each other to close the road.
And I said to them, we're not even filming, and
they're just like, oh, we don't care. We love this shit.

Speaker 2 (54:58):
Of course they would.

Speaker 7 (55:00):
I guess if that's my gift to you, then let's go.

Speaker 2 (55:03):
Well, you're a good guy helping them out. They're pretty
good guys. Because they're helping the rest of us out.
We get to see it, you know, obviously. You know,
being a Tarigo boy, that camera life is no stranger
to that run between Parliament House and the airport, and
as far as the cops do an incredible job in
closing down the streets in the roundabout so that it
is straight through, but I'm not sure they've done it

(55:23):
at the speeds you're describing, And so you don't necessarily
need to be an auto enthusiast to love this show.
And this is why the Top Gears around the World
and Top Gear Australia have been as successful as they
have been and why we're so excited to see it return.
The premiere of this season is tomorrow night on Paramount

(55:44):
Plus Gabby.

Speaker 6 (55:44):
Before we let you go, Blair, I just really need
to ask the story behind the McDonald's jingle, because you're
a music composer, that's actually your job. Can you please
tell me about that, because didn't you mess it up?

Speaker 7 (55:56):
I did so. Look, I didn't actually come up with
the jingle itself, but for a long time I was
doing music for McDonald's and there's a ba far far
and it turns out that that is not how the
jingle goes. That's a major third. Its barda baba, and
so I got it wrong for a couple of years
before someone came and knocked on my door and told
me that all of the music that I've been doing

(56:16):
for mcdoald's has been wrong. I was getting paid anyway,
so I just kept going with it. But if you
look back in time and maybe on YouTube, you'll see
that most of the ads were wrong. That was my
thank you very much. I'm making carry go proud. I
think I mentioned you know, I grew up you know
in Tarigo. My dad was announcing on two g in
over there. Also a big fan of Canberra as well.

(56:37):
I got friends and family there, and my dad before
he passed away, lived in Canberra. And so I reckon
Top Gear season two, I reckon we do a special
in Canberra. Will you reckon?

Speaker 6 (56:44):
You will believe you haven't been here yet. It should
be top of the list, like who cares about Rome
and Columbia's camera.

Speaker 2 (56:51):
And you can sleep on the trundle bed that's probably
underneath the couch at Arelo's house. You don't have to
worry about BBC putting you in a flash hotel exactly.
We're ready in waiting mate. In the meantime, we're going
to see on the TV we.

Speaker 6 (57:04):
Shut down Black Mountain.

Speaker 5 (57:07):
A good drive.

Speaker 2 (57:09):
How much of you wanted to really push it through there?
But I'm a bit nervous about the drop. Let's send
bleak true.

Speaker 7 (57:14):
Sorry. If I can get some streets closed down in Canberra,
and I reckon, I probably can and that's not a
sentence I've ever said before. And we work out a
little challenge. Would you both be into the challenge of
doing like a little race, a little something with me?
If I can get some roads closed, will you come down?

Speaker 2 (57:30):
Lock us speak on half of you, Gabby, lock me in, Oh,
lock me in.

Speaker 6 (57:35):
I know that I'll be last, but that's fine.

Speaker 7 (57:38):
I don't know if you can hear this. This is
me typing an email to Paramount right now. I'm getting
it done.

Speaker 6 (57:44):
Yes, bring it on.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
Fantastic lamb.

Speaker 7 (57:46):
All right, thank you having me on the show.

Speaker 2 (57:49):
Guy, Thank you for chatting to us. We're having you
on again, mate, I can't wait to chat then.

Speaker 7 (57:53):
Awesome, thanksganging bye.

Speaker 2 (57:56):
I understand that Gabby's mane Maureen answered the phone in
the middle of a funeral.

Speaker 6 (58:05):
Yeah, yesterday. I feel it is funny.

Speaker 2 (58:10):
Okay, it's funny.

Speaker 6 (58:11):
It is a bit of dark humor here, but that's okay. No,
So my mom I did not realize had a funeral
on yesterday. I have been very busy, and I wasn't
up to date with her calendar, and I tried to
call her yesterday morning to organize a couple of hours
for her to look after the baby a weekend so

(58:32):
that we can actually get some housework done, because you
can't get anything done with a child around.

Speaker 2 (58:36):
I remember trying to vacuum once with one of the
girls when there were babies on the papoose. Yeah, it's
harder than you think.

Speaker 6 (58:42):
It's harder than you think, and the house is just
becoming a bomb site. So we just need a couple
of hours to get on top of things. So I
was calling mum to organize that, and it was ringing
and ringing, and my mom has these fancy new hearing
aids and her phone rings solely through the hearing aids,
so no one else hears the phone.

Speaker 4 (59:02):
Well that's good, it's better then you know them being like, oh,
you know, and please say a word for Mitchell.

Speaker 6 (59:08):
And then it's like very annoying though, when you're having
a conversation with her and then she just goes hello
and you didn't even hear the phone rings, so you're
really confused by what's happening. But anyway, but it rings
quite distinctly, like loudly in her ears, and you can
see her like whoa like swig it out because she
just suddenly hears this ring. So she's in the middle
of this funeral, the poor thing, and I'm ringing her

(59:30):
and she's just her ears a ringing. No one else
can hear it, luckily, but her ears are ringing, and
she's like, oh my God, make it stop. So she
reaches down to try to reject the call to make
it stop ringing in her ears, but because she's just
not really concentrating, she swipes it and answers it instead.
And so I'm in the car, I don't know where
she is. Mam answers the phone, and all I can

(59:52):
hear is this like him happening in the background.

Speaker 5 (59:54):
Can you give a reapp Sunday?

Speaker 6 (01:00:00):
That's pretty much what I could hear, Like, so Sunday,
Mom's not at church? Where is she? And I couldn't
hear anything but that, And so I just went hello, Mum, Mummy,
you're there.

Speaker 5 (01:00:12):
Oh my gosh, Mom?

Speaker 6 (01:00:13):
Can She could not hear a thing, So I was like, Okay,
she's obviously answered accidentally, So I just hung up and
it wasn't until I was talking to her later in
the afternoon that she was standing there in this funeral.
She thought she'd rejected the call, didn't realize she'd answered it,
and all she could hear in her hearing aids no
one else could hear it, right, so she could hear

(01:00:33):
was someone in her ear going hello, Mom?

Speaker 5 (01:00:37):
Did she talk about Oh my gosh, did she think
it was a ghost.

Speaker 6 (01:00:39):
She didn't talk back, But man, what a missed opportunity.
Imagine the things I could have said.

Speaker 5 (01:00:44):
Oh, you could have pretended.

Speaker 6 (01:00:45):
To read this is God.

Speaker 2 (01:00:51):
If if you just if you knew what her favorite
was or whatever. She was a sitting duck.

Speaker 5 (01:01:01):
She was a sitting duck.

Speaker 6 (01:01:03):
She yeah. Anyway, Luckily I hung up because that's what
she was willing me to do. She was just standing
there with a straight face, hearing me and hung up
the phone.

Speaker 2 (01:01:13):
Well, I had some bad news for you. If she
ever answers the phone again, you're going to assume she's
in an environment where she can't talk back, and you're
going to go to town. To go to town as well.

Speaker 6 (01:01:22):
You should preparing as we speak, do it on the radio.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
You don't know where she is, but it does mean
random calls to Mareen every day.

Speaker 5 (01:01:32):
Next week your podcast Camera Rapped.

Speaker 3 (01:01:34):
Game one kicks off today for the women's State of
Origin with Queensland Sun Corps studying on hosting Judy's ahead
of Magic Round, and we've got three raiders hitting the
field across both teams.

Speaker 2 (01:01:46):
You'll go day.

Speaker 6 (01:01:48):
Queens No, it's New South Wales all the way.

Speaker 5 (01:01:55):
You got nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:01:57):
I don't need anything.

Speaker 6 (01:01:58):
My husband and I still fighting over whether our daughter
is Queensland or New South Wales. I'm one hundred percent
sure I'm going to win this fight because she was
born here, so.

Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
Therefore we're neutral territory.

Speaker 5 (01:02:12):
But she bung indoors New South.

Speaker 2 (01:02:13):
Wales, thank you, she was born in the act.

Speaker 5 (01:02:16):
I don't care Wales.

Speaker 2 (01:02:19):
Never I tried. Does it show go by that I
don't try and go into.

Speaker 5 (01:02:23):
Bat for your husband and don't succeed.

Speaker 2 (01:02:26):
It's the greatest exercise in futility. All I do is
get to experience firstthand what Nev has or is going
to cop at Sauta State. I'm like this for me,
I was like a dress rehearsal. I'm going to stop.
I'm getting you read you are.

Speaker 6 (01:02:39):
I'm getting my arguments sorted.

Speaker 2 (01:02:41):
And never I'm trying. I'm not even quitting or giving
up early. I'm just dared before I start.

Speaker 6 (01:02:45):
He's got the dog. The dog was born in Queensland,
so that's fine. He's got the dog.

Speaker 5 (01:02:50):
I'll have the baby.

Speaker 2 (01:02:57):
If you're listening to the podcast, well done for me,
right the way through to the end, just in time
for Wrapped, Wrapped, our last one for the week. I'm
very lucky to be a guest of the Raiders at
Magic Round this weekend.

Speaker 6 (01:03:13):
Wow fancy yeah, it will.

Speaker 2 (01:03:15):
Be the fanciest viewing a footy for me.

Speaker 5 (01:03:18):
Rod.

Speaker 4 (01:03:18):
I was telling everyone that the reason why we weren't
doing the show is because you had work commitments in Brisbane.

Speaker 5 (01:03:24):
That was the excuse I was going with.

Speaker 4 (01:03:25):
Technically you're k but now you've told everyone I was
trying to get you off the hook.

Speaker 2 (01:03:30):
Listen the hook, the same explanation I'm using with the
tax department.

Speaker 7 (01:03:35):
So all the.

Speaker 11 (01:03:42):
Stories you missed, boy will give you just the jeers.
Boyd listen up for the stories. Aren't the best girl?
They need to be a dressed girl. Ain't heard nothing yet.

Speaker 3 (01:03:56):
It's time for it.

Speaker 2 (01:03:59):
I reckon and safely tell you how most departments in
the capital feel about the show, and it's positive for
the most part. I've never heard from the A t O.
I don't know if they love the jokes.

Speaker 5 (01:04:13):
We do them a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:04:14):
Yeah enough for me to be now nervous because I've
never heard whether or not they get around it.

Speaker 6 (01:04:21):
I reckon they listen intently and they're going to look
at our tax.

Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
Every time we do an ATO joke, and even guests
come on and do at O jokes. I wonder if
they just rub their hands together.

Speaker 4 (01:04:35):
Okay, please please stop, like please, just.

Speaker 7 (01:04:41):
What are you?

Speaker 5 (01:04:45):
I'm not much tax. Just let me make the most
of them.

Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
Don't shout. I don't pay much tax.

Speaker 5 (01:04:53):
Pay all the tax I meant anyway. I mean, I
don't earn much.

Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
But you took one for the team, sharing their attention
away from us.

Speaker 5 (01:05:01):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (01:05:02):
They're focusing on moving on all that. I'll finish my
rap rap that started three days ago in just a second. Gabby,
what do we miss today?

Speaker 6 (01:05:12):
Let's talk about the Dublin and New York live stream
heart project that's been happening.

Speaker 5 (01:05:17):
Oh god, it's temporarily.

Speaker 6 (01:05:19):
Shut down after less than a week because there's been
some inappropriate behavior shocking.

Speaker 5 (01:05:24):
So there's been a lot of people because there's literally.

Speaker 6 (01:05:26):
A live stream in the middle of New York to
Dublin where anyone could go in front of it and
say hi to the other city.

Speaker 5 (01:05:33):
And there's been a lot of body parts on.

Speaker 2 (01:05:35):
Display, flashing, flashing one another in other countries.

Speaker 3 (01:05:39):
And it appears on a giant screen in the middle
of the public area, and it's like whoa.

Speaker 6 (01:05:44):
And literally for now they're just putting some security measures
around it before they reopen it.

Speaker 4 (01:05:52):
I saw headlines saying that someone that they had to
close a bridge because of this.

Speaker 5 (01:05:57):
Well, and I don't know, I didn't really understand the lead.

Speaker 4 (01:06:00):
Think I just I saw on the headline they had
the close of a briech soully.

Speaker 6 (01:06:03):
Drivers cannot see this live feed.

Speaker 5 (01:06:05):
That would be very.

Speaker 2 (01:06:06):
Distracting whatever news outlet you're going to there. You know
they need to do more than that. Was AI generated
nonje someone flashing a livestream shuts bridge. Not a story, Lewis,
what do we miss today?

Speaker 3 (01:06:20):
Well, we all know the cost of living is tough
right now, and housing as well is a bit of
a struggle. So shout out to a woman in the
us who's just been found to be living inside of
a grocery store sign. So this is the sign at
the top of the building that I'm showing you there.
She's managed to climb inside. I found out.

Speaker 5 (01:06:43):
Because like an attic behind the side.

Speaker 3 (01:06:45):
I guess so y workers went into do some work
and they said someone's living here. But it's impressive the
setup she was able to create. So it's ten feet
by five feet the space up there. She has flooring,
a computer, a desk, a printer, a coffee machine, and
a pantry of food.

Speaker 5 (01:07:05):
I'm a pressures able to smuggle.

Speaker 6 (01:07:06):
That's stuff in there.

Speaker 7 (01:07:07):
Good.

Speaker 3 (01:07:08):
She stood out there for about a year before she
got discovered in the.

Speaker 2 (01:07:11):
Middle of a housing Cristis. There's a lot of signs
not with anyone living in them. So let's switch.

Speaker 4 (01:07:16):
On when we go live in can brother any signs
we could inhabit.

Speaker 6 (01:07:20):
Just make sure not a light up sign. We don't
want any electrical issues.

Speaker 5 (01:07:24):
Imagine that it's lightning.

Speaker 3 (01:07:27):
It would be good good views as well. Yeah, the
Homeworld tower down in.

Speaker 5 (01:07:32):
Oh Yeah, it used to be.

Speaker 3 (01:07:37):
I was the one opposite the hypoder home World.

Speaker 4 (01:07:41):
Maybe we could do an outside broadcast from a sign
I will move.

Speaker 2 (01:07:45):
I will move into that IKEA signed to moral spacious views.

Speaker 6 (01:07:51):
Yes, fantastic, pretty quiet out there are not too quiet?

Speaker 2 (01:07:55):
Sign me up to the IPS sign and you know
they or the key stuff is made to go into
small spaces. Perfect, Bethany, what do we miss today in
the show?

Speaker 4 (01:08:05):
I think going forward, I should carry a hazard light
with me. And that was not my suggestion. That was
my boyfriend's suggestion when I told him. I was at
pilates the other morning and I'm really flexible and I
had to do an exercise where you've got a circle
your legs right in split and I accidentally kicked the
woman in the reform and next to me on the

(01:08:27):
head mid workout.

Speaker 5 (01:08:28):
She was like ah. I was like, oh, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry. It was really awkward.

Speaker 6 (01:08:32):
So hazard's sign, just like it's a hazard light, you
know the construction workers have that yellow light on top
of the you.

Speaker 5 (01:08:40):
Plug in, plug one into my head.

Speaker 2 (01:08:43):
It seems like a crazy idea, but no one's saying
don't do it. And finally, I mentioned yesterday that fantastic
Indian restaurant that I was talking about, and I know,
to our Indian listeners, I'll get the pronunciation in correct chutcuss,
or as Australians might say, chat kaz upstairs in the

(01:09:04):
new area there in the gun Galen marketplace. Fantastic. You've
never seen a menu like so for anyone who was wondering.
So you're there for dinner this week or lunch or whatever.
Have a great weekend and we'll see him Monday.

Speaker 5 (01:09:17):
Bye bye
