Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Full camera, all day Camera Rats with Rotten Gabby right
now on Mix on six point three.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Geta Gooday, welcome to this part of the afternoon. If
you're joining us for the first time. Hello, Bethany, producing
the show.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Hello, Hello, it is Thursday.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Thank you Lewis. You both fear are young? What year
were you born?

Speaker 4 (00:32):
Ninety seven?

Speaker 2 (00:34):
What Bethany?

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Right?

Speaker 5 (00:36):
Do you?

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Ninety four?

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Ninety four? Correct? Okay, what about you?

Speaker 2 (00:40):
I'm about to spak seventy four, so I'm going to
speak a language that neither of you understand. Tell me
if you know any of this. Okay, nineteen eighty four
Prime Minister Bob Hawk, That's.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
What I was going to I was going to actually
say that true because the only one I.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Could think of Olympic Games were held in, oh, Melbourne,
Los Angeles was the Melbourne Pits bit off. Do you
know the name Christopherscase?

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Nope, he was.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
He was a billionaire and he was buying TV stations
and ended up owning Channel seven and then I think
he used to build islands up in Queensland and Fine.
He was quite a high profile personality. Advance Australia Fair.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
Yes, was became the.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
National anthem in nineteen eighty four.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
Oh gosh, why, like I didn't know what that was.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
The National Film and South Archive opened Wow in nineteen.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
Eighty four here in Canberra, and.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
This song was number one in nineteen eighty four. And
in nineteen eighty four Canberra was obviously a very different
place because we were standing around listening to this and
a young Neil Gage and got to see it through
the eyes of a first year constable. Unbeknownst to that

(01:58):
young man, forty years later he would be reflecting on
a career that saw him rise to the height of
act chief police officer and he is with us now,
Neil Gagan, Congratulations on an amazing career and happy second
last day, sir.

Speaker 5 (02:14):
Thanks Rod. I've got to say that intro makes me
feel extremely.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
Old, you and me.

Speaker 5 (02:18):
But I've got to say quite heartening that Bef and
lewis the ages they are, that's probably the age of
most of my police force. So welcome to that generation.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yes, good to have them here and we can relate,
but that's probably where it ends. Your career dramatically different,
not just to mine, but to know so many people
listening right now, and I suspect it's impossible to synopsize
the difference between nineteen eighty four Canberra and twenty twenty
four Camera. I wonder if there was a moment though,
that you learned in year one that you still applied

(02:50):
year after year and you still find yourself reflecting on
forty years later.

Speaker 5 (02:55):
I think it's been just true to yourself, Rod, I mean,
that's basically what policing is all about, being honest. I mean,
those in the values that extend exists now what I
do now, So, I mean it's just about ben true
to yourself and they've been dipendent.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
What you guys do there, you're elevating us.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Yeah, htat The issue is sometimes I'm too honest, Neil.
I know that you worked in the Anti terrorism department,
I believe for a while, it just fascinates me the
fact that there are all of these terrorist attempts that
happen in Canberra, in Australia that we are just protected

(03:32):
from and we're completely oblivious to it. How common are
terrorist attacks here in the capitol, Like, how many times
a week would you be.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
Having to No, not in the capital, thank god for that, oh,
thank god. Certainly across the country and the time I
was there, between sort of twenty twelve and twenty sixteen
twenty seven, and it was an unprecedented era of terrorism
attacks across the globe, not just in Australia because it
was the high Devisis and we literally had people appearing
on the front pages of newspaper cutting heads off. So
it was a challenging period. But you know, we've saved

(04:05):
a lot of lies, but unfortunately we also lost a
few here as well.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
I hope there's a book somewhere in your future, because
I reckon there's a few stories you might have been
able to tell publicly until now.

Speaker 5 (04:16):
Some of them I probably don't want to tell.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
They're the ones we want to read.

Speaker 5 (04:21):
Of course we do. Yeah, but it's a different era
of policing. Of course, when I started, there were no
mobile phones.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
I didn't mention that from nineteen eighty four. But again,
another generation can't imagine a world like that. What feelings
are you going to have? Do you reckon when you
put the uniform on for the final time tomorrow morning?

Speaker 5 (04:38):
Oh, very mixed emotions. You know. I grew up in
the AFP. I was nineteen when I joined, and I
just turned nineteen too, So you know, I was still
a kid, to be honest, and I've got a lot
of family and friends that are still in policing. And
it's going to be sort of the day after. I
think it's going to be more of the challenge when
I wake up, probably with a bit of a hangover
and reflect and reflect on the fact I'm you know,

(04:58):
no longer you have to come into work, And probably
the biggest change is going to be the fact I
don't have to go to bed with the phone next
to me, or go.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
To bed with your gun next to you. Do you
sleep with your gun.

Speaker 5 (05:09):
More in the old days? We used to, but now
it's stay safely in a locker in the workplaces it
needs to be right.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
I didn't know that again, the difference between now nineteen
eighty four.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
Well, look, Neil, I mean, if any criminals are listening,
I mean, we want to make this day for you tomorrow.

Speaker 5 (05:28):
Rack hopefully you're not listening to camera rap.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Well, we have it on pretty good authority. We are
something more popular at the Alexander McConaughey Center. We are
privileged to have had you on the phone today. Good
luck tomorrow and on behalf of camera thank you for
your service, and thank.

Speaker 5 (05:45):
You for your service. I've got to think one a
six for the amount of work you've done with us
gradus in relation to traffic safety. It's not lost on
me and the rest of bically police seeing the great
work that you and your station do every day to
keep Canbra safeer.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Thank you you've said that. Thank you, mate, and good luck.
We will speak again there. He is fantastics, such a
good guy.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
Can we keep him? I don't want him to retire.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
What forty years that is an extraordinary career and it
started on the streets to the Act in nineteen eighty four.
Act Chief Police Officer Neil Gagan. I'm desperate to know
what the follow up question was because the rumorerupted and
so did Neil Gagan when Bethany led with in case

(06:31):
there are any criminals listening, and then everyone freaked out.
What was the question going to be?

Speaker 6 (06:37):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (06:37):
I was going to say no, it was going to
be a suggestion to the criminals. Well, I just I
don't want his last day to be boring, Like I
don't want it to be an anti climax.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
He wants it to be boring.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
I wanted to be a fun. I want to keep
him on his toes, you know, memorable experience. And I
was also going to point out if you are going
to me to crime, which we do not condone, I mean,
tomorrow is a good day to do it.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
So you're right, you want him to finish on a high.
If you want him to crack a case, to bust
a case, right.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
And you have to leave the pub, he'll have to
leave assembly. You know, me drinking sash.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
He might a he won't be doing that on the clock.
So if he's while he's still doing the final part
of his ship, you know he'll still be He might
have a case that he's timed right out for forty years.
That could be the thing.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
And could you imagine what did occur to me? Someone
and the he just like bye.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
When I said happy second last day. It occurred to me.
It's one of the oldest tropes in film and television
when it comes to you know, a cops second last day.
You know there is an incident and it is the
second last day. There's always something like but I chose
not to mention it.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
He took us right to the golden tomorrow midday.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Clock off is what I I'm suggesting to him, what
an incredible career Lewis before we continue career advice for
getting ahead Lewis's career advice. We haven't had this before.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
Well, this is if you want to get a promotion,
what not to do. And it's really simple. It's just
one thing, right, don't work from home.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
I've been saying this.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
I know you'd be right around this, but this is
from computer company Dell, who've announced employees who are fully
remote will not be eligible for promotion.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
So this is their new company.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
Policy after previously embracing work from home, where the CEO said,
if you're counting on forced hours spent in a traditional
office to create collaboration and provide a feeling of belonging
within your organization, you're doing it wrong.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Is he That's what he said in the past.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
Is this the same guy? Yeah? And now now if
you're working from home, no promotion for you.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
I saying this for ages. And you know what's really
frustrating though, the only frustrating part of this because I'm
all about you know, come to the office, office, vibes,
et cetera, et cetera. You know, good for the workplace.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
More nothing do without or work ethic, gustera, et cetera.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
However, because I do have ADHD and I do get
easily distracted, sometimes I'll do like a few hours of
work from home in the morning, or I'll you know,
do some stuff on the weekend. But as someone Wires
once pointed out to me, when you work, you want
to be seen working, So then it's like, no one
knows that I'm doing all these extra hours.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
And that's why I thought. That's where I thought Lewis,
you know, had come up with this. I thought there
was data, there was research saying out of sight, out
of mind, you're less likely to get a promotion. But
it's Dell, the guys creating the very things that we
require to work rightly, going, you don't qualify anymore. Surely
someone's hacked. I mean it would be ironic, because someone's

(09:58):
hacked this guy's computer. There's no why the Dell I'm
been working from home? Probably, yes, someone hacking remotely from home.

Speaker 7 (10:08):
Your podcast camera rapped.

Speaker 5 (10:15):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Patrick Griffin maybe on holiday, but he put together a
pretty tidy playlist. Today he is on fire. That's two
out of two. The crowd he's full at your feet
at twenty past three on Mikes one of six point three.
He's cambra rapped.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
Rod Betho on when you use his full name, I
always get confused, And for a hot second, I think
you're referring to Peter Griffin.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
From Family Guy Patrick Griffin.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
He's just Pat And then he called Patrick and I'm like,
freaking family guy. No, that's Peter.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
I love your big family guy guy.

Speaker 4 (10:44):
Oh, I've seen bits okay of.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
I love I love the crowd? Does everyone love the crowdies?

Speaker 5 (10:50):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Again, he's a generational thing. You hesitate, Betho, you must
have loved this. Camera boys and just two of the
best music producers on planet Earth, Peaking Duck. Did you
hear their cover of Fault Your Feet?

Speaker 3 (11:06):
No?

Speaker 4 (11:07):
No, if you heard it, no.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Hang on a second, Hang on a second.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
All right, we're going to do this.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
Sure. Julius Stone does the vocals on this. This was
for Triple J's like a version. Yeah, have a listen
to this for a second. These boys are genius.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
Everything about Peaking Duck is.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
You love? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (11:43):
I like this version.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
This versions so good.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
Okay, I'm will.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
You hear from the boys walking past the studio?

Speaker 4 (11:55):
Yeah? You were I wasn't in the show.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
I was in the other studio and you saw chatting
with them. They came out. We're in the middle of
a talk, right.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
I've met them a few times on the Gold Coasts.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
They just are loose in its yeah, and so they
stick their head in and go, what's going on a
live radio show? And they are part of the show
for next half an hour. Lovely blokes and just amazing musicians.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
They are lovely blokes talking about being loose. So on
the Gold Coast, right, we are they rocked up?

Speaker 4 (12:24):
Right?

Speaker 3 (12:24):
One of them hadn't been home. He was still drunk, okay,
and he walked in late whilst the interview was live.
And then the other one slept through his alarm and
the manager had to go wake him up.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Was his breakfast radio?

Speaker 4 (12:38):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (12:38):
Or may don't put musicians on breakfast radio?

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Sorry, it was twenty past eight.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
It's musicians.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
Yeah, yeah, Well, my friend Chloe Maxwell said, as they say,
don't work with kids, animals or rock.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Stars at breakfast time, but in the evening much better anyway,
lovely boys. Okay, so let's do this. This has been
going now for twenty four hours and fifteen minutes the
world's longest and newest game of Monopoly. It's Canberra Monopoly.
If you're with us yesterday, right the way through the show,
you'll know that I own the National Portrait Gallery. If

(13:15):
you haven't heard about this, we've got our own Monopoly
game now, the new Cambra one, sparked by a letter
from Nige to Hasbro maybe a year ago, when he
learned that Wagga had their own board.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
Also that Nige started all.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Nige started all.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
Oh thank you Nige and Nige.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
He's credited in the game. There's actually a couple of cards. Yes,
that actually refriged. Nige does something the way he gets.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
Buck something that's that's amazing.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Lewis, what do you own?

Speaker 4 (13:43):
I own the Belkoner Owl?

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Congratulations, Bethany. Have you purchased anything? Oh you wonly two
hundred bucks?

Speaker 3 (13:48):
Okay, I'll sort that that Tet Tower Telstra Tower. And
it's my turn for a role.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
I think it's my turn.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
No, it's my turn.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Wait, we don't need boardgame range at this age. Whose
turn is it?

Speaker 4 (14:00):
We all had to go and then you had your second.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Go Louis yesterday. If you haven't had my second, you didn't.

Speaker 8 (14:07):
Right now.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
You're playing this for the rest of the year.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
This is exhausting.

Speaker 4 (14:10):
It takes one, two, three, four. So I've landed on
the National Portrait Gallery.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Well, hang on that to me.

Speaker 4 (14:19):
But I don't have to pay you, do I? Unless
there han't anything on it yet? Yeah, no, Rod already
owns it.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
Yeah, but you don't. You still have to pay rent
even if there's no houses on it. Check the thing,
check the thing.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
I'm having to go to the rules on our second
lap of the ball. Can have a wrapped rod with
you for the run home. Bethany looking alarmed.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
Okay, there's no Lewis. Lewis is demented to the news.
But I'm a journalist, so can I read his news?

Speaker 2 (14:47):
Absolutely no not, I said, yes, come on.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
I'm a journalist's just a degree.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
I don't know what the stories are and tonally we
might just let me. You're not doing it is here.
I heard the panicking your voice, just saying, Lewis isn't here.
We're not sorry, Get you get that.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
We operate two stations here, and one of them was
playing in the kitchen while I was making my tea,
and they had a song playing on Hits I've got
heaps of Yeah, we actually approached next time.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
Next time I'm doing the news, by the way.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Well, so club line radio generally you can tell that
it's a club lime song. Right. It's a bit of
what I would I would I would identify as techno,
would be of urban on there, yes, and then of
course a fantastic news station, the NIED station, a bit
more rock on that. But every once in a while
there'll be some crossover between hit and mix. Just sometimes

(15:45):
doesn't is it a vichy when we might put that on?
I reckon?

Speaker 4 (15:51):
We play?

Speaker 2 (15:53):
We do?

Speaker 3 (15:53):
We do because it's like a country.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
There's less crossover than there's ever been. But from time
to time it'll it'll catch out.

Speaker 4 (16:01):
And it happens in the kitchen. We got to be
on it.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
I don't know who set it up, but you know,
we don't go day on, day off. It's every hour.
Does it change every hour at the start.

Speaker 6 (16:13):
Of every hour?

Speaker 2 (16:14):
That's confused, So the music out of the ceiling in
the building is changing hourly to the different stations.

Speaker 4 (16:19):
Music when we came into the studio was mixed. Now
it's hit.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
I thought it was day to day.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
Okay, okay, looks what's happening, You're very kind, bethany Well.

Speaker 4 (16:33):
Police say speed was likely a factor as an eighteen
year old Pete Plater veered onto the wrong side of
the road and fatally collided with a cyclist along Lady
Demon Drive yesterday afternoon.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
This is a devastating story. Yeah, you know, I look sadly.
We'll learn more about the situation with this young man,
but it's an error that he will pay for for
the rest of his life in one form or another.
And tragically there's someone who isn't with us anymore. This
is just the worst thing that can happen. And let's

(17:05):
all use this perhaps as a sobering moment, So go on.

Speaker 4 (17:08):
Also in the news today, Canberra's urban sprawl needs to
be stopped, according to the Territori's Environment minister, who's keen
to see city limits established here in the Act. And
Thursday Night footy is on kinda the soccer rules attacking
on Lebanon in Sydney in their first of two round
two World Cup qualifiers. The two sides meet for their

(17:31):
second match here in Canberra next week.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
Mike, what day next week?

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Is it?

Speaker 4 (17:36):
Tuesday?

Speaker 3 (17:37):
Tuesday? Only up till Tuesday to try to get a
soccer rule on the show.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Okay, good, you're you're right on top of things. Um,
Thursday Night footy. Is there an NRL or an AFL
game as well? I haven't even thought to Jim.

Speaker 4 (17:49):
Yes, yes, we've got I know in the NRL we've got.
Is it the the Panthers and the Broncos.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Oh that's a good game. In the AFL.

Speaker 4 (18:00):
Off the top of my head, I am not so sure,
but I can tell you sat Kildo b.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Collingwood, No, we don't. Is that tonight tonight at seven thirty?

Speaker 3 (18:07):
Oh, it's you're gonna have to reorganize your entire night.
Do you not realize?

Speaker 2 (18:12):
I mean you're tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
You're clearly not a saying killed a true follower. If
you didn't even know they were playing.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
Right after round one, you just don't worry about it.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
Well, then maybe getting your team.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
I hate this game so much already. Why no one
likes losing a Collingwood, especially us got in sixty six.
It's sad when you can say gotcha, like you know
before I was even born. Alright, all right, whatever you're
doing tonight, cancel it because it's a bit on. And

(18:44):
then We've got the Formula one tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (18:47):
Grand So many people I know are at the Formula One. Like,
I'm never been interested in cart raicing, but I'm getting foemo.
Everyone's there and I saw beat Job was there in
a pretty outfit and I was like, I want to
go along and very pretty outfit.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
This is the same as the black Oval steaks for you, mate.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
Yes, all the wags are there, you know what I mean,
The horses are there, the wives.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
My point is you've got no interest in the action.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
The same, exactly the same.

Speaker 7 (19:15):
Your podcast camera wrapped.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
Again another example of jamoen is a big star in
the nineties, still big star, but it is TV show,
a number of seasons of that TV show on Channel seven.
But you may not have been a life.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
For at and I know it's just not it's not
in my well.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Is an Irish blake fantastic, very funny, tremendously successful, all right, Lewis. Yeah,
I was fascinated by the story you were sharing today
because you brought me a word. So far, it's pretty
clear on the oldest guy in the room for the
last forty two minutes. But you present me with something
today I'd never ever heard before, and I wonder whether

(19:55):
or not I missed something or it's even a generation
before me. Is it a boomer thing?

Speaker 4 (20:00):
It's not a boomer thing.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
What is it?

Speaker 4 (20:02):
But you're close. It's booner.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
It's a booner thing. That's the word. That's the word booner.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
So b double O N E R.

Speaker 4 (20:13):
Yeah, a booner. Do you know what that means?

Speaker 2 (20:14):
No? Never, So it's similar to a bogan.

Speaker 4 (20:18):
So growing up in Camera I knew the word boooner
before I knew the word bogan.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
I just I just figured it out. Is it like
they've they've combined two words. There's bogan and then there's boomer.
So it's a boomer bogan.

Speaker 4 (20:31):
Can be young and be a boooner. I thought, okay,
like how bogan doesn't discriminate by age, No, that does.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
A booner, right, Booner is a camera bogan. I've never
heard that before.

Speaker 4 (20:42):
Yeah, And so you know, we had this word growing
up in my house and I hadn't really heard it,
you know, out and about beyond that until I read
a Camera Times story today with the headline it's talking
about the camber in a famously questionable area, but it
is under new management and they're looking to spruce things up,

(21:03):
and so it says Camber Inns getting a little fancy,
but the burners are still welcome. And I was like,
this is the first time I've seen this in mainstream media.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
Do you know who the journalists were?

Speaker 4 (21:15):
This was Karen Hardy.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
Karen Hardy obviously Canberon born and raised if she's calling
people booners, So.

Speaker 4 (21:22):
I looked into this. So it's apparently a Canbra specific
slang word.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
Six one sixty three. Are you familiar with the term
booner from when you were younger if you were born here?
And is it the same as a bogan or a
bogan and a booner the same thing?

Speaker 4 (21:40):
I think there is a slight variance, but I can't
I can't quite put my finger on it.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
Oh look at that.

Speaker 4 (21:46):
Oh my goshes are lighting up?

Speaker 2 (21:48):
And in Burrow? Do you know about Boonersok?

Speaker 3 (21:51):
Back when I was in a school, you're a burner
or a Westie.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
If you were a planning you should be called a Westie.

Speaker 9 (22:00):
You know what.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
So a booner is a bogan, right.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
Terms, that's the difference, because I mean lost things to think.
There's a slight difference.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Uh yeah, I'm hearing in your voice though difference. Yeah,
but you're more comfortable with being called a booner than
a bogan, is what I'm hearing.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
So maybe it has more of like a positive connotation
as opposed to maybe it's more a side of respect to.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
Uh, let's just see stay there for a second to
put that to the test. Stewie and nunnawall as a
young bloke, where you a booner let shirt, a mullet
and what backpack? Had class.

Speaker 8 (22:56):
Written all over it?

Speaker 2 (22:58):
But I reckon you're a little classier than a bogan
because you had the desert boots and not the moccasins.
Used to call them rollers. Yeah, with the and the
and the soul was one bit of sort of rubber
that went wooo so up and down right, and.

Speaker 9 (23:12):
They were bought from cam.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
Those rollers were bloody good shoes. But I don't ever
knew I was a booner. Now I've just discovered that
if in camera in nineteen eighty something, I would have
been a booner. So what you're a seventies kid grew
up in the eighties, sure did you? There?

Speaker 3 (23:28):
It is did you have the mullet? Because I feel
like if I see a mullet, I'm like Bogan, which
we've now realized is also a booner. You had one?

Speaker 2 (23:37):
I used to try and sleep. We've got back in
my head pinned up, so we stick out. Fantastic. What
have we got for Steward?

Speaker 3 (23:48):
That's something we've still got camera comedy first tickets.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
End You remember Jamo and.

Speaker 4 (23:56):
He was a burner from wayback?

Speaker 2 (23:58):
Absolutely all right, mate, tickets to see Jamo and his
show is called Who's Your Man? Don't miss the Canberra
Comedy Festival on now until March twenty fourth. Book now,
or if you're smart Likestuweye, be a booner for life
and win your tickets. Well done, mate, and lewis revealing
to anyone who didn't grow up in Canberra what a

(24:20):
booner is. And those that are familiar with with, you know,
either being a booner or you know, identifying others as
booners seem to think it's a badge of honor. Today.

Speaker 4 (24:30):
Yeah, I guess anything that we do here in Canberra
is slightly more classy.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
I guess I think that's the difference, absolutely right, and
we're just chatting to was adjacent. Yeah, And I said,
all right, so what suburb would you need to be
from in camera to be a west He said, doesn't matter.
Westis are all over camera because I guess west from
the coasts. We're all all west is right back from Amaru.

(24:57):
Do you remember Booners?

Speaker 3 (25:01):
I do, Like the other chap, I moved kid of
the seventies, grew up in the eighties. I'll go one further.

Speaker 9 (25:08):
Bogns didn't exist back then.

Speaker 4 (25:10):
Booners and the girls.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
Who hung out with booners were boon chicks.

Speaker 4 (25:15):
Chicks.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
This is the greatest things you could have ever given us.
And when you've listened to the showback, have you ever thought,
deep down because Betho not a child of the seventies
or the eighties. But I reckon, now that you mentioned
this to me, this has been the missing link. Do
you reckon Betho is a bit of a boon chick? Hey,
excuse it's a compliment, mate.

Speaker 4 (25:35):
I think there's a strong possibility.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
Absolutely everything you needed to know to that.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
Threes a rotten gabby for your dry home. This is
Cameras is so.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Best afternoon of the year. There was a pseudo question mark.
It's like I had half a question mark and an
exclamation mark.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
Is it the best afternoon of the year?

Speaker 2 (26:01):
Weather was beautiful?

Speaker 4 (26:02):
Oh of course, perpecially after this morning that well, it could.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
Only get better. Good reason.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
But that's that's the funny thing about Canberra. Right when
it's cold, you get the most beautiful sunny, clear sky days.
When it's rainy, like in winter, I'm talking it will
be a little bit hotter, but then it's not very
nice to out the day. So I'm here for the
cold weather. I like the extremes.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
She's a bloody beauty, which is more than we can
say about smartphones. Although let's think about it. Were smartphones
meant to make us smart? Or are they doing the
smart stuff?

Speaker 4 (26:34):
They're the smart, but in the process we're getting dumber.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (26:39):
I have been thinking this for years. I'm like, what if. No,
in all seriousness, I just.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
Want to point out tony On he's just tuned in.
This is a news story and does relate to current statistics.
It's not just a general observation that definitely is made well.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
I've always thought, like what if there was an apocalypse,
Like what if there was like a meat all they
hit the earth just like you know, no, but what
I mean, if like, if we lost all of our technology,
we lost a lot of our technology, we would be
screwed because we are so reliant on our phones and computers,
and like we don't even remember how to do simple

(27:14):
math anymore.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
I feel like, you know, not having our phones would
be the least of our worries. If the apocalypse obviously
you know, materialized, yeah, and you know on the planet
was half wiped out.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
Yeah, but then like you wouldn't even know what number
to call. You won't even be able to cultural zero.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
No, but that's whither way out of pine. There's no
one at the other end of the line.

Speaker 4 (27:39):
But it's good that you remember that number, because apparently
we're not remembering numbers.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
And there it is. That's the statistic from today.

Speaker 4 (27:47):
So this is a report from Telsro had found more
than half of us wouldn't be able to remember a
single phone number of a loved one in an emergency.
We'd be stuck if we if our phones went flat,
were left somewhere by mistake or stuff.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
And I'll be honest, once upon a time, on you
a lot of numbers. I know, my wife's number, and
that is it.

Speaker 4 (28:08):
But that's good as a fellow adult. I know my
mom's phone number from being keep growing up. She drilled
it into me, right, But I don't know my partner's number.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
You don't.

Speaker 4 (28:23):
I just have it saved in my phone.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Er, Okay, well you're too responsible, like as someone who
gets lost all the time, as someone who loses their
phone all the time.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
You get lost, yes, constantly.

Speaker 3 (28:34):
I just knowing that I'm a mess of a human.
I do try to have a few contingencies. I think
I've almost memorized Foxy's number off by heart. But how
funny is this my last boyfriend before Foxy? Because I
hadn't date anyone for ten years. We started dating when
I went to school is on the Gold Coast, and
so he forced me to remember his number, and I

(28:55):
think I still not off by heart.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Well, the signs of him being a controlling character with
the straight out of the gate. So you've done well
to move on, mate, And speaking of phone calls, in
the next seamless link in the conversation, we phoned Akmar,
who's the fantastic comedian coming to Canberra for the Comedy
Festival on Saturday. Night, the credit for which I will

(29:18):
share in just a moment, like don't miss the Camera
Comedy Festival on now until March twenty four, book now, Bethany.
And when we phoned him, he unswered the phone. And
this never happens. So whenever you phone celebrities, they've always
got answered the phone. They've got a guy, They've got
a guy or a girl who goes I'll get mister

(29:40):
Silo for you, and so you can hear the confusion
when I phoned and just a voice said hello, Hello,
it's Roden Beth at mix on six point three and
canbra just running for Akma.

Speaker 9 (29:53):
This is me Akmar.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
How are you mate?

Speaker 9 (29:56):
I'm good? How are you?

Speaker 3 (29:57):
Watch out? You gave us your personal phone number. We
might stalk you.

Speaker 9 (30:02):
Oh well, I'm hoping for stalking. I'm the only person
in public that hasn't been stalked yet. Everyone else has.
Why not me?

Speaker 2 (30:10):
Well, and I want you to feel left out, mates,
so you can count on us.

Speaker 9 (30:14):
I will from now on. I expect serious stuff too,
not mucking around all.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
Right, good, just know what you're walking into when you
come to Camber. I wasn't sure if it was going
well at that stage. Or it was going disaster to
sleep it.

Speaker 7 (30:26):
We'll find out your podcast Camera wraps.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
What a fantastic Cambra Comedy festival it's been.

Speaker 3 (30:31):
I love it and I love that the festival has
some legs on it. I think it's been going for
two weeks all up, which is fantastic because there are
so many great comedians from around Australia and around the world.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
Well, not long enough for me. It could keep going
all year. However, it does need to come to an end,
and it will finish with a bloke who's been the
star of so many shows, so many performances. I could
go on, or I could play you the highlight for
me of his career.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
Wow, because he's had a big, big career.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
It had nothing to do with the comedy. Have a
listen to this ad.

Speaker 7 (31:05):
Even celebrity comedians need help selling their homes.

Speaker 4 (31:10):
Shana was Christians.

Speaker 3 (31:12):
This rainforest fantasy has gone beyond a joke. In a
few months, we could lose everything. It's a beautiful location.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
Hang on a minute, it's not the house. Well, haven't
you told me it's not a legal dwelling.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
It's not a legal dwelling. And he wasn't trying to
be funny, the great Akmal Sally, How are you?

Speaker 9 (31:32):
I'm very good. Most of my committee was accidental and
it came about due to me being an idiot. And
you know the thing is, guys, that's that's quite a
long time ago, that show Selling House of Australia, right,
And I've done a lot of really good TV. No
one cares. No one asked me about that, you know

(31:55):
I've done. It's like that joke, you know, they know
the joke where I sheep? You know that joke.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
I'm not familiar with that joke.

Speaker 9 (32:04):
But very quickly, this guy, this guy goes look at this,
you know, see this town. I build all those fences.
Do they call me George the fence builder?

Speaker 5 (32:13):
No?

Speaker 9 (32:14):
They don't see those I laid bricks. Do they call
me George the brick layer? No they don't one sheep?

Speaker 2 (32:23):
What am I calling?

Speaker 4 (32:25):
That's it exactly.

Speaker 9 (32:28):
We bought a house in the jungle because we thought
we were hippies, and it turned out we weren't hippies.
We're just idiots. It was so funny. I'll tell you
the first day of us moving to that area. It's
a place called human Brook and it's in the middle
of the jungle, like, literally, were these bush rats that
ate our furniture, the bush rats, these gigantic things like

(32:49):
I'm from the city and I grew up in a
housing commission in Punchbowl in Sydney, and suddenly I'm dealing
with bush rats that ate my wife's books. And I'll
tell you very quickly, the first ten days of us
living there, we had no water. There's no water, right,
And my wife kept saying, you've got to fix the water.
I come fix water. I'm a comedian. Another I don't

(33:11):
know nothing about fixing water. She goes, can you ask
the neighbor? So now you have to remember the neighbors
like half a kilometer away, right, it's not like next door.
I walked through his snakes and I knocked on the
guy's door and I said, hi, made So we're your
new neighbors. Do you know we just moved into that
cabin down there. We don't have any water. We haven't

(33:32):
had any water for ten days. And then he said
something I hope never to hear again. He said, you're
probably gotta go and stuck in your pipe. No, my
wife was there back at the cabin, and she ses,
what did he say? I said, he said we have
to move now.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
Now you could have actually leased it out as the
next location to film on a celebrity Get me out
of here.

Speaker 9 (33:56):
They traveling to Africa, except no one can find their
way out. What are you're doing is you get a
bunch of celebrities that you don't want to ever see again,
and you put them there and just forget about it.
I'm going to find their way home.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
I mean, if you want to murder someone, now we
know where to go.

Speaker 9 (34:14):
But you've just said that on radio. So if someone
is murdered, you're going to be the top sub thing.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
Okay, now I know why you wanted to sell the house.
Ack mal.

Speaker 9 (34:21):
Anytime you feel you messed up or your life is miserable,
you give me a call and I'll tell you about
my life and it will go up immediately.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
Or you can go to the Camera Company festival and
I suspect that will be the source of most of
your material. Fantastic catching up to.

Speaker 9 (34:37):
Be professional and bringing us back to the topic.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
Thank you so much for the time that I can't
want to see you back on camera.

Speaker 9 (34:44):
Thank you guys, have a good day.

Speaker 2 (34:48):

I'm just going to give you the name one more time.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
From Couple to Oh that's when you know you're interested.

Speaker 4 (35:45):
And I just feel like that just makes sense financially.
See three incomes in one house is better than two.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
Could not be better timed. Yesterday we had Canberra's number
one TikToker on she was fantastic, Rose Stefan your underscore
Rose to fan you with an F go and follow
her on all the platforms.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
Also, go check it out on the podcast CBR RAT.

Speaker 4 (36:08):
It's up there right now.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
She's literally making stories in the news outlets around the
world because she lost so much weight that finally she
can you go for the dress shopping that she was
never never able to when she first got married ten
years ago. And in the midst of all this, you go,
but how's your timing with the cost of living crisis?

Speaker 4 (36:26):
Honestly, has it ever been more expensive to throw a wedding?

Speaker 3 (36:29):
Back to your couple of throttle comments comment, well, you
said it would be.

Speaker 4 (36:35):
More financially sound decision?

Speaker 3 (36:37):
Okay, Well should we get Jackson on the phone?

Speaker 2 (36:41):
And who else? Put somebody Else's quite a proposal.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
Auditions On sixty six.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
Scott Evans shows up just to start the conversation and
the rest of us continue with what do we need
to know in the news this afternoon?

Speaker 4 (36:56):
Well, some sad news this afternoon, with police saying that's
speed was likely a factor as an eighteen year old
p played a Veeda onto the wrong side of road
and fatally collided with a cyclist along Lady Demon Drive. Yesterday,
It's been revealed around four million Aussies have no savings
finder released in new research also showing that half of

(37:19):
us have less than a grand to fall back on
a living crisis.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
Right, I have anyway?

Speaker 4 (37:27):
And if that wasn't bad enough, It's also been revealed
today that can Berns are paying more to own less land.
According to a new report from Domain. It found an
almost fifty percent increase in house prices per square meter
here in the Capitol just over the past five years.

Speaker 3 (37:45):
How should you reckon? There's ever been a good time
when they've gone It's like they say, cost of living.
Do you think there's ever the opposite? Do you know
what I mean?

Speaker 4 (37:53):
Like there's I feel like during the initial COVID outbreak,
when where we're getting when the government was heading out
all that money were living sweet?

Speaker 3 (38:00):
Yeah, what would you call that?

Speaker 4 (38:01):
You think that they were worried about happening down? I
feel like he's happening now.

Speaker 3 (38:04):
Yeah, Because that's what I want. I want everyone to
be like, Hey, life is booming, business is booming, We're
all getting pay rises.

Speaker 4 (38:13):
I was across the board there were businesses that struggled
during COVID.

Speaker 2 (38:16):
Yeah, look, as we've said a million times, no economists here,
and so I go twenty twelve was fantastic because there
was a great exchange rate. But the economists go, no,
you don't want that. I'm like, well I do, and
twenty twelve the world didn't end, so that was good. Yeah,
so's fantastic here. We don't need economists. Everything's completely under control.
By completely, I mean somewat all. Right, let's have a

(38:37):
look at this trailer for a couple to thrapple.

Speaker 7 (38:39):
In just a second, your podcast camera.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
Wrapped Betho and lewis here gloating about how flexible they are,
or certainly Bethany revealing the closure. I'm freakishly flexible.

Speaker 4 (38:51):
I'm famously unflexible.

Speaker 2 (38:53):
Can you touch your toes? I can't. Okay, turning up
to strike down like locking the knees and you've done it.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
Wow, I know where you're dressed. I'm gonna face this way.

Speaker 10 (39:03):
Look.

Speaker 4 (39:05):
Easily, really good radio. Oh wow, what.

Speaker 3 (39:10):
Bills I told you?

Speaker 4 (39:12):
I reckon, I get halfway down my shins.

Speaker 3 (39:14):
But the issue is you guys think, oh, it's a
really good thing to be flexible and This is part
of the reason why I'm so uncle, because I'm like,
I'm hypermobile.

Speaker 2 (39:23):
I'm so hypermobile, flopping in every direction.

Speaker 3 (39:26):
It's issues because they're hyper mobile that.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
This came up in conversation because I've just learned that
our first TikTok yesterday, So our TikTok channel now is
what is a twenty six.

Speaker 4 (39:37):
Hours old yep at mixed camera on TikTok if you
want to follow.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
Okay, we've posted one video and three thousand views on
the first one. Yeah, it sounds high.

Speaker 4 (39:45):
Is that normal for ticos? That's pretty good? Three thousand,
eight hundred. Oh, it feels like it's closer to four.

Speaker 2 (39:51):
It's done. Let's call it fore and so, Bethany, now
the pressure is on. You've done all. We've got to
do one all the time. And I said, well, that
requires choreograph dance, which when you started explaining how flex
were you are?

Speaker 3 (40:02):
I love dancing. I was a dancer of for like
fourteen fifteen years. I got was it honors, high distinction
whatever the top grades dance?

Speaker 2 (40:10):
Yeah, it's but I couldn't be bothered remembering the moves,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (40:16):
It's just not for me, it's it is definitely It
takes a bit of memory, but it's stimpid. It stimulates
the brain.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
Lewis you wish shall we do choreographed dances?

Speaker 3 (40:29):
Can we do a dance a week? Hang on, let's
do a dance next week? When you want to get
more followers?

Speaker 2 (40:37):
Basic moves, basic moves, choreograph teacher, Yeah, not too many though,
just a sort of.

Speaker 4 (40:44):
A you know, you doing something that's on trend that
the kids are doing?

Speaker 2 (40:47):
Yeah, right, one that people know, Okay, super simple. I
see some of these guys like simple.

Speaker 3 (40:53):
Not too simple, fun, simple, all right, next week it's
on the list.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
Speaking of popular the things that young people do, there's
a new show called From Couple to Thraple and it's
on Peacock, the Peacock Network, which what's that's NBC? Yes, okay,
it's a big network, and uh, we've.

Speaker 4 (41:13):
Got it's a streaming platform.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
Right, NBC streaming platform is Peacock, right. Scott Evans is
the host of it. He's going to be joining us
just at five o'clock just to get our heads around
this concept they're telling us, and I think they're right.
There is no reality show that we've seen like this before.

Speaker 10 (41:30):
If you were given the chance at non monogamy in paradise,
what would.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
You do, BETHA, Yes, we'll talk about it with Scott Lewis,
what would you do? Don't answer it.

Speaker 10 (41:46):
I'm Scott Evans, and I will be your guide on
a journey for love unlike you've ever seen before.

Speaker 2 (41:52):
That's what I said. We've never seen reality TV like
this before.

Speaker 10 (41:56):
All right, For the next month, four curious couples will
be given the unique opportunity to turn that fantasy into reality.

Speaker 2 (42:04):
Right.

Speaker 4 (42:05):
It does sound a little bit like Bachelor in Paradise
or Love Islands. There's a lot of non monogamy there.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
True, but it's interesting they seem to be because he
looks very sensible, and I think they try and frame
it won married at first sight. Tried to convince us
that it was, you know, an experiment, Yeah, documentary. Yeah,
there was some sort of scientific research about it. I
think they're going for that. And as you said before,

(42:31):
could it not be an improvement? Maybe, but you're really talking.

Speaker 3 (42:35):
About the economics until you try it.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
Yeah, right, okay, And by the way, this is the
great thing. If this is beginning conversations in a zero
judgment zone. Then go for it, peacock, I've never been
on the dal with three people, you know what. I'm
bisexual and he's more of a don't knock until you
try it sexual. That's a thing.

Speaker 3 (42:59):
Like a just created it.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
Okay, it's kind.

Speaker 3 (43:03):
Of like our first time dating as a couple.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
Really good too, Let's go. This is a wild concept.
You need to be in a very I would think
at a pretty advanced stage of your relationship to go
introducing this significant variable. And I say advanced stage, I
mean big bulletproof trust here.

Speaker 3 (43:24):
And you're also like, why why are you inviting a
new person in?

Speaker 9 (43:28):
Like?

Speaker 3 (43:28):
Is it because you're bored? Because I feel like these
situations normally happen organically. Well, Scott, really ask me if
I wanted to be in a polyamorous relationship.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
Right, But that didn't happen organically. That's no way, right,
But that was something that someone put to you. Yeah,
I don't think it can happen organically. I think you
need to have a pretty honest discussion about it. Otherwise
there's a whole different conversation the next day. If it
happens organically.

Speaker 4 (43:51):
We talk about the situationships. But I don't ever think
you're in a situationship that's a threatfle Well, what a
way not one of fourteen?

Speaker 2 (44:00):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (44:02):
Here we go?

Speaker 2 (44:02):
Hang on a second? Okay, So the couples are there, Okay,
they meet the then all there's this fourteen bringing a
third in, right, and so these were competing to see
if they're the third that comes in. My good with
them in the resort would like to Oh, here we go,
and everyone's standing around the pool.

Speaker 3 (44:21):
Okay, So they get to choose couples.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
Okay, do you reckon?

Speaker 3 (44:26):
There's couple swapping like do you reckon someone?

Speaker 5 (44:28):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (44:28):
Mate?

Speaker 2 (44:29):
It's something on the realms of possibility, just based on
obviously what the goal what I guess the goal in
there is for.

Speaker 3 (44:35):
What about what would you call like a truple? But
like with six of them, maybe there's like two hats.

Speaker 2 (44:45):
More trouble than it's worth. All right, Scott's going to
join us after five. He's got some explaining today. We've
learned that my National Portrait Gallery I own it earned
me eight dollars when Lewis Lane on it and Britney
houses or hotels on there. So the rent eight bars.

Speaker 3 (45:05):
Okay, I feel like they need to update the money
side of things, so you know cost of living if
you've you know.

Speaker 2 (45:12):
I bought the National Portrait Gallery for one hundred and
twenty bucks. Mate, dollar's rent's probably about round.

Speaker 3 (45:18):
I would love to see you walk into the National
Portrait Gallery be like, hey, hey, I'm your boss.

Speaker 2 (45:23):
Yeah, I got the ticket, I got the car. If
you are just joining us for the first time. In
a couple of days, Canberra Monopoly was released yesterday. We
had one of the first boards. Bethany's just rolling up
another move for her and we'll see where you land
on a game that's been going now for twenty seven.

Speaker 3 (45:41):
Hours, the Monopoly. Okay, this game for a home not
the longest game of Monopoly.

Speaker 2 (45:47):
Roll six six Okay, what square do you land on?

Speaker 7 (45:50):
There?

Speaker 2 (45:54):
Car? That's right, it's the sound of the car. Is
it space car?

Speaker 3 (45:58):
Okay? I can't count noises?

Speaker 4 (46:01):
You have the camera outlet center? Whoa hold on?

Speaker 2 (46:03):
Are you gonna you're going to buy it?

Speaker 3 (46:06):
I am buying it to it at mid I own
all the clothes now, yes you do, suction designer.

Speaker 4 (46:13):
So how much is that going to set you back?

Speaker 3 (46:16):
Just two hundred and twenty.

Speaker 4 (46:16):
Dollarshh wow, all right.

Speaker 2 (46:19):
I don't reckon I spent that much of the National
Portrait game you, but you had a lot of stock
that comes with that.

Speaker 3 (46:25):
That's okay, I can manage it. I like to wear
something different every day.

Speaker 2 (46:28):
Before we go to the news with Lewis in just
sec Betho does the most amazing job bringing all the
fantastic guests that we have on the show on every
day and the comeback story I've married at first side.
Australa's most popular TV show thus far in twenty twenty
four has been a guy called Timothy and he started
out on an unfortunate note because his wedding started raining.

(46:54):
And he said, I'm out of jail and you're like, mate,
you've come on here to try and find love and
already he was like, thank goodness it rained. I don't
want to get married.

Speaker 4 (47:03):
What's this guy doing?

Speaker 3 (47:04):
A lot of red flags with this guy, right, And
then we spoke with his wife.

Speaker 2 (47:08):
She was fantastic. She's very popular in the UK. They're
showing this series, this Australian series over there. At the
same time. They think we're lunatics apparently.

Speaker 4 (47:20):
Oh yeah, but I mean we think that way. We
watch it too.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
It's a good point, right, We're like, this is normal.
We're always doing stuff like this, so we look crazy
home and abroad. Anyway, we've learned this guy six weeks
before they started filming, so he would have known that
he was cast for this. Tragically his father passed away. Yeah,
and so that's given a tremendous insight into where he
was emotionally. Probably shouldn't have even gone on the bloody show.

(47:45):
So we were keen to speak with him, and Betho
was calling him before. Lewis and I were just doing
some stuff in the background. So this this wasn't.

Speaker 3 (47:53):
I didn't know this was recorded.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
This wasn't part of the recorder. So this is just
the microphones are on there in the studio. This is he.
So this is Betho on the phone speaking to Channel nine.
They're trying to get a hold of this guy and
he keeps ringing out and the reception guy keeps coming
back to Betho and this moment I overheard in the background.

Speaker 3 (48:14):
Boys message again, Ah, is he ghosting us like a
ghosts of Lucinda?

Speaker 2 (48:28):
That's it's great, mate, What did it did all my laugh?

Speaker 1 (48:32):
Yeah, he goes brutal.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
I feel like you end up having like the best
relationship with the guy who was trying to connect the
calls because you're on there with him for about ten minutes.
In the end, he's cracking jokes.

Speaker 3 (48:47):
Yeah, I think his final call was all right. I
think I think Timothy thinks I actually am Lucinda.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
Eyway. We might tell you him. If not, we're going
to get the guy from Channel on reception. It's fantastic.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
Fall camera all day, Camera Rats with Roden Gaddy at three.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
Good timing if you're joining us for the first time
this afternoon this hour. The Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame album that will be in Darkted, I got to
think about it. They're a better rock album ever. She well,
I'll think about that for the next half an hour
and then lewis no pressure. It needs to be the
greatest news update of all time. It will be just
by virtue of this news. Okay, it is amazing news.

(49:43):
Speaking of the pressure being on, I'm very excited about
the new camera monopoly board. Has Broll put a lot
of time and effort into it. After Night sent them
the letter last year. Yep, but not as much as
you did when you were seventeen years old and you
preempted this moment. Yeah, your major project for uh you're twelve.

Speaker 4 (50:01):
Yeah, my graphic design class. I forget what the assumming was,
but I decided to make a camera version of the
Monopoly board.

Speaker 3 (50:09):
Okay, I thought you just did this like as a
hobby in your spare time on the weekends. But this
was actually like, so you put some serious effordence, lots
of recess played it.

Speaker 2 (50:19):
No, no, no, no, you've never you never played it.

Speaker 4 (50:23):
No, no, it was just the board. It wasn't he
didn't and all that kind of stuff that was.

Speaker 3 (50:30):
I would have given you brought it in to.

Speaker 2 (50:32):
Oh okay, let's compare. No pressure has broken. It has
broke versus seventeen year old Lewis. We're going to that's
a game. We're going to play that. And Scott Evans
from Access Hollywood, he's got that new show. It's going
to be on Channel seven. Were speaking before about it
being on the Peacock Network in America from a couple
to thrafle He is next however, that that was the
Chili's story. Is that the group that we're gone into

(50:55):
for the Olympics.

Speaker 4 (50:56):
Yes, yes, so we got about today we're up against
yet to be decided as Zambia or Morocco. But the
two other teams were going up against the powerhouses Germany
and the US. Okay, tough gig.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
You know what they say, to be the best, you're
going to beat the best. So it doesn't matter whether
or not we meet them at the beginning or the end.
At some point you got to beat them if they're
that good.

Speaker 4 (51:22):
I think if the US or Germany goes on to
win and we didn't correct and pretty much we were
second correct, we lost to the winner.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
Although it is just I say that, but you remember
that World Cup that the Australian cricket team won in
India against India and they fumbled and bumbled their way through,
winning just enough to scrape through and then played the
best game at the very end. Had they met a
better team at the start, they would be out. So
my theory is completely for So they'd better be on

(51:55):
on songs straight out of the gate, is well, yes, yeah?

Speaker 4 (51:59):
And who's tonight the soccer soccars up against Lebanon in Sydney.

Speaker 2 (52:05):
Soccer's Pennies Broncos Saints Magpies. What tonight it's going.

Speaker 4 (52:11):
To be on the TV.

Speaker 3 (52:12):
It's a good thing that half a camera doesn't work
on Fridays, because I'm just saying there's going to be
some sore help your podcast camera.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
Wrapped Rod with you for the run home. Bethany producing
the show. We had the winner of Survivor Australia Ferris
on the show yesterday. What a fantastic season that's done.
Married at first Sight. Those different characters have joined us
over the last couple of months. Last week, next.

Speaker 3 (52:33):
Week, I believe, so it's the very last dinner party
on Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
The Voice I stopped watching two months ago, so maybe
it's over, maybe it's still gone.

Speaker 3 (52:42):
All that one's on. I think there's an idle week
about or.

Speaker 2 (52:45):
Something what is next? And this happens with the reality
TV cycle, not just at the beginning or the middle
of the year, but also with Okay, what is going
to be the evolution of these shows? And I think
the most significant moment it was when they've gone, let's
get everyone from all the shows and put them on
an island, and that blew our minds and we all

(53:07):
watched it and.

Speaker 3 (53:09):
It was we're talking about batch in Paradise, right.

Speaker 2 (53:11):
There were a variety of versions and it was the
greatest train wreck in the history of TV. However, I
think we're about to see a more refined version of that,
and also a version that hadn't occurred to us before.
It's Channel seven's news show. It's from America. It's called
From Couple to Thropple.

Speaker 3 (53:31):
Ah, you got me in. As soon as I saw
the title, I was like, I'm watching. I mean, I'm hooked.
I'm hooked like all the people on the TV show.

Speaker 2 (53:39):
Okay, now the host we know in Australia from Access Hollywood,
Scott Evans in America, and I made how are you?

Speaker 6 (53:46):
What's what's up right aboutity? Aw you doing?

Speaker 2 (53:48):
We're very well? Congratulations. I noticed the hosts of these shows,
these reality shows, as time goes on, they get more
and more involved. We've got a renovation show here the block,
and it's hosted by a guy who's a chippy, who's
a build up. Except I noticed more recently they've got
him going through the renovation budget. I noticed on Married

(54:10):
at First Sight the experts come in and they start
getting everyone who's misbehaving into mine.

Speaker 3 (54:15):
They're like involved in the drama.

Speaker 2 (54:16):
Now, From Couple to Thruple.

Speaker 6 (54:18):
At some point I'll be marrying a throuble.

Speaker 4 (54:21):
God, that's the question.

Speaker 2 (54:23):
How involved are you getting other than issuing challenges?

Speaker 10 (54:28):
Yeah, I mean I think that the idea was that
I wanted to be I really wanted to be a
source of support for these individuals who had come down
to Panama for this experience, this experiment at asking the question,
are we better as a threable? Is monogamy holding us
back in some way? Could we be better in a
non monogamous expression of our relationship?

Speaker 3 (54:51):
You're right? And if you don't mind me asking what
were your personal experiences with polyamory? The amory pulp correct?
What always gets me? And I also help some experiences
which I'll share in a second.

Speaker 6 (55:07):
Oh well, let's get to it.

Speaker 10 (55:13):
So so right, just to give you some background, So
you've got non monogamy, right, is like the larger and
then in that you have polyamory. And then within the
polyamory umbrella there are all kinds of different configurations, and
a thropple or triad is one of those configurations, and
in fact, one of the more difficult configurations for people

(55:36):
to have a relationship, because it's an in essence. Some
people see it as monogamy plus one, right, So there's
always one person working to either catch up or balance.

Speaker 6 (55:46):
Other dynamic in the relationship.

Speaker 10 (55:48):
And so it can be very difficult to make a
throufle successful. It takes all the same work that a
couple would experience, plus more, you know what I mean,
because you got two you got to figure out.

Speaker 3 (56:01):
So, yes, exactly, it sounds exhausting.

Speaker 6 (56:06):
It can be, It can It can absolutely be.

Speaker 10 (56:08):
I think, you know, any relationship can be exhausting, but
it can also be so fulfilling, you know, when filled
with honesty and care and concern from one another, I
think it can be a really beautiful experience.

Speaker 2 (56:21):
Do you think that's the motivation for all the participants,
because certainly we watched the trialer and that's the pretty
wild start, and I wonder how quickly it occurs to
some of them. Hang on a second, This is more
work than perhaps any other relationship I've ever been in,
or we witnessed that in the show, I imagine.

Speaker 10 (56:40):
Yeah, I mean, it's I think everyone was confronted with
that reality pretty straight off the back. That while chemistry
and attraction may be what lead a lot of people
at first, genuine connection and curiosity about another, the work
ethic of out yourself and another are really what sustained

(57:04):
any relationship. And so while this is not like uh,
spring break for couples, you know, this really was about
finding you know what I mean about it. It was
about couples finding an opportunity with some boundaries, with some
safety in that there was like you couldn't hide because
there were cameras everywhere.

Speaker 3 (57:24):
Fantastic for us.

Speaker 6 (57:26):
Oh no, Beny, I'm talking about it is gonna be
real good.

Speaker 4 (57:28):
When you get.

Speaker 6 (57:31):
You're gonna be like where the show.

Speaker 3 (57:36):
Computer.

Speaker 6 (57:37):
You're gonna you know what I'm saying, You're gonna love it.

Speaker 2 (57:40):
And that was that your experience, Bethany.

Speaker 3 (57:42):
Yes, So I dated a man for a while who
had can I say, been a swinger, being involved in
in these types of experiences, and tried to bring me
into that world. And you know, we went to a
few events, a few experiences occurred, and at the time

(58:06):
I had feelings for him, and I think I think
I realized that I was just doing it because I
wanted to impress him exactly. Yeah, And I was really
grateful that I had those experiences, But by the end
of it, I was like you know what, this is
not sustainable and there are other ways, like if it's
excitement and variety that you were looking for, I feel

(58:28):
like you've just got to be creative enough to do
that without having to, you know, go sleep with other
people like once a week.

Speaker 6 (58:36):
I agree with you that that.

Speaker 10 (58:40):
Introducing more people into a couple's dynamic fast tracks whatever
the couple's dynamic was going to be if they are
unwilling to double down on the fact that you also
have to include with more people, you also have to
include more attention. You also have to include more affection, love, consideration,
and communication. And if you're not going to do any

(59:00):
of those things, you're gonna add more people.

Speaker 6 (59:02):
Get ready for your shit to blow up?

Speaker 8 (59:04):
You know.

Speaker 2 (59:04):
I I on that note, Scott. I know that those
insecurities will be bubbling to the surface within about the
first ten minutes of the first episode. Yeah, just I
know you can't fast forward to the end. But is
there any success stories of people who go on in
a thrupple after the series finishes.

Speaker 10 (59:22):
I'm gonna tell you this because this is I know
that I can I know that I can't tell you
the exact answer to your question, right but what can
tell you is that everybody who came to this experience
open and honest left this experience changed.

Speaker 6 (59:41):
By it.

Speaker 2 (59:41):
We are grateful for the conversation today. You say that
no one leaves this show who's in it not changed,
and I suspect we will feel similarly after watching it
as well. This is going to be a ride. Cannot wait.
Scott Evans, good luck with this series made. Congratulations, Thank
you so much for the team.

Speaker 6 (01:00:00):
You were the barb right, I really do appreciate it. Ben,
you already know.

Speaker 4 (01:00:03):
Ah, stop it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
I have been chouting down to this news all afternoon
and what news is this?

Speaker 5 (01:00:12):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
I don't want to make out that this is the
best news of the afternoon because there's a number of
stories we need to get through. However, Lewis has guaranteed
to finish his bulletin on the greatest of notes, both
literal and metaphorical. In the meantime, I know there's a
lot going on. What else do we need to know first, Lewis?

Speaker 4 (01:00:31):
Yeah, First, some sad news. Unfortunately, Tennis coached Alisha how
Reggie has been identified as the cyclist killed following a
crash near the Glenlock interchange. Yesterday afternoon, the cost of
owning your own home is now out of reach for
the majority of ossies. New data from the ABS revealing
the average salary needed to buy a home without financial

(01:00:53):
stress now sits at one hundred and sixty four thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:00:58):
Oh my goodness, I'm just going to give up.

Speaker 2 (01:01:01):
That's best.

Speaker 4 (01:01:03):
And now for the good news. Here we got another
gong for Guns n' Roses. The Grammys Hall of Fame
will induct their iconic album Appetite for Destruction. Yes at
a gala and concert in May.

Speaker 2 (01:01:15):
Oh yeah album. That's all I have to say about.

Speaker 5 (01:01:22):
This album.

Speaker 3 (01:01:25):
Year to eighties. It's grunge right early eighties.

Speaker 2 (01:01:30):
It's a grunge so much as it's not metaling that
it's just rock. It's a rock and roll and it's
got iconic tracks like Welcome to the Jungle, perhaps arguably
the most iconic Guns n' Roses song about you think
this is?

Speaker 6 (01:01:48):
Oh? What an album?

Speaker 2 (01:01:49):
Oh yeah? All right? Enough harmonies from released in eighty seven,
those playing.

Speaker 3 (01:01:58):
Alone at Home The Fight, wasn't it? Gosh? I really
missed rock on the radio. I mean, I know we've
played here.

Speaker 2 (01:02:04):
If you've listened to mean for us that he is sorry,
but you will know that I've never changed my tune.
The greatest year in music nineteen eighty seven, the single
greatest year really well, you know what, that album's not
done either.

Speaker 3 (01:02:21):
Oh my goodness, I love them.

Speaker 2 (01:02:23):
Yeah, but you know, and if you've got the album,
you know, or if back in nineteen eighty seven or
then the subsequent years in the eighties and early nineties,
that perhaps you should have been focusing when you're at university,
but you chose to go to the student lounge and
play the Guns and Roses Pinball Machine, the greatest track
from that album, And I'm just making stuff up. Who

(01:02:45):
would have done something like that? Was a song that
you got to hear when you achieved multi ball on
the fantastic Guns N' Roses Pinball Machine.

Speaker 3 (01:03:01):
I've never heard this one.

Speaker 2 (01:03:02):
No, well, you haven't played Guns and Pinball. It is
not only this is the greatest album, greatest pinball machine
U all time as well. I'm in.

Speaker 3 (01:03:16):
Question if they bringing back the album, but they're also
going to bring back their hair, because I'm looking at
that that is some wild stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:03:27):
You're saying.

Speaker 4 (01:03:27):
They should induct the hair into the Hall of fame
as well.

Speaker 2 (01:03:30):
I think if they could, Axle would be happy with that.
I think there's a reason that you don't see him
without the bandanna these days.

Speaker 3 (01:03:37):
I don't know. I feel like it's a it's a
package deal.

Speaker 2 (01:03:41):
What a day in rock history today? The phone's ringing
because people are excited to share the news.

Speaker 3 (01:03:47):
Bethocar Foxe calling.

Speaker 4 (01:03:50):
What does he think he was? Just ask him?

Speaker 2 (01:03:53):
Answer the phone?

Speaker 3 (01:03:54):
What was what was the greatest year in music? You're
on the speaker? What was the greatest year in music?

Speaker 4 (01:04:05):
No idea?

Speaker 3 (01:04:06):
Come just say a year? What was the greatest year
in music? Nineteen eighty?

Speaker 2 (01:04:11):
What?

Speaker 3 (01:04:15):
See see?

Speaker 7 (01:04:16):
And he's older than.

Speaker 3 (01:04:17):
You, so you've got to trust your elders.

Speaker 7 (01:04:21):
Your podcast camera wrapped.

Speaker 2 (01:04:23):
Remember yesterday we closed the show. If you didn't hear it,
we got the one of the first camera monopoly boards.
And as the show closed, Bethany asked, who made me
the banker?

Speaker 3 (01:04:36):
And didn't want to be a banker?

Speaker 2 (01:04:37):
And then I listened to the podcast and it's the
first thing that said is I'll beat the band volunteers.
I don't trust you guys, I'll bet the bank.

Speaker 3 (01:04:44):
But that was before I realized that we have absolutely
no desk space here, and so we just have stuff
everywhere and it's making me a little anxious.

Speaker 2 (01:04:54):
Speaking of stuff everywhere, before we play a game of
has bro versus seventeen year old Lewis, would you like
to roll the dice? It is your turn? Oh, it
is your turn?

Speaker 3 (01:05:04):
Roll for you?

Speaker 2 (01:05:06):
Okay, you could control the dice. What a silly thing
for me to say, okay, or it doesn't really matter
with whether it's a big number or not with lobby,
but it's an eleven wow.

Speaker 4 (01:05:25):
El free parking.

Speaker 2 (01:05:29):
There's nothing in the middle.

Speaker 3 (01:05:31):
So I have a question about that because people are different.
So when I play with my family, like you, Lewis,
the money, whatever money is in the middle parking, you
take it.

Speaker 4 (01:05:41):
Yeah, so the chance cards, you've got to pay bills,
all the fines that we don't have any in the middle.
No one's had to pay anything.

Speaker 2 (01:05:48):
Okay, but no.

Speaker 3 (01:05:50):
Everyone does that like some people they don't have that rule.
So like you, let they.

Speaker 4 (01:05:54):
Included the free parking square in the camera board.

Speaker 2 (01:05:57):
When there is no actual free the bar. Well, there
is here in the car park.

Speaker 3 (01:06:03):
In the paddy for us, we're in a paddock, yeah,
but not in the city.

Speaker 2 (01:06:07):
Okay, let's do this. Let's take a look here. I'm
very exciting. So I went back through.

Speaker 4 (01:06:12):
So I had this file saved on my emails. It's
from twenty fourteen, so I printed it off. This is
my version of the.

Speaker 2 (01:06:18):
Camera Monopoly board. There's one for you.

Speaker 4 (01:06:21):
Bet, there's one for you Rod that I made.

Speaker 2 (01:06:25):
That's more than cute. You could have you could have
they could have has Broke could have printed this and
it would have been great.

Speaker 3 (01:06:31):
This is why you do our social media. You do
have a great eye for design.

Speaker 6 (01:06:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:06:35):
So the middle image, you've got the Karellion in the foreground,
black Mountain, Tellstle Tower in the back, and then a
whole bunch of Cambra balloons with the Quester com balloon.

Speaker 2 (01:06:45):
That's time seven. I see that the monopoly logo is
sitting in between Telstra tower and the Karellion.

Speaker 4 (01:06:51):
Yes, we've also got the South Care helicopter just to
the side.

Speaker 3 (01:06:56):
I'm sorry, but you've you've mucked the colors up a
little bit, confusing me. There's no brown.

Speaker 2 (01:07:02):
Well see that's the thing.

Speaker 4 (01:07:03):
No one likes brown, so I went with purple, which
some versions do have.

Speaker 2 (01:07:07):
Oh raw, So.

Speaker 3 (01:07:08):
The purple Okay, sorry you lost me. I got really confused.
I'm back.

Speaker 2 (01:07:11):
I'm giving a point to Lewis versus Hasbro straight away.
No Brown, they could have made that decision as well.
I also noticed that you've deliberately only placed hot air
balloons that are relative to here. Yes, the Quester Con
balloons there, the Capital Chemist balloon is there, the.

Speaker 4 (01:07:26):
Prime balloon is there, the old Prime seven balloon. And
I think that little one out the back is Goodwin right.

Speaker 2 (01:07:34):
What are the balloons on the Hasbro one? Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:07:37):
We got Capital Chemists? Yeah, and I think the rest
are just generic.

Speaker 2 (01:07:41):
I'm giving you on how good? Giving you another point?
And do you know what.

Speaker 4 (01:07:46):
Is there? Did I see that we've got Black Mountain Yes,
good on the board as well, so they both.

Speaker 2 (01:07:52):
Look very similar. This is amazing. When did you make
yours ten years ago?

Speaker 4 (01:07:56):
Twenty fourteen? You know what else I need to point out?
I went through I just searched me a lot monopoly
in my emails Maloppi, And there was another email that
I sent to Winning Moves who were the guys that
made this board back in twenty seventeen, asking them because
there must have been reports about a board coming in
the future, they said in reply to my inquiry in

(01:08:19):
November twenty seventeen. Hi, Lewis, I believe you inquired about
when Camber Monopoly would be in market. At this stage,
we're looking at a twenty nineteen release. Oh five years
after that.

Speaker 2 (01:08:32):
Well, like anyone who planned anything in twenty nineteen year, Okay,
it pretty much turned into twenty twenty four, because that
twenty twenty has some problems.

Speaker 3 (01:08:42):
So should we look at the different areas that you
have the properties.

Speaker 2 (01:08:45):
If you rolled one, you'd go straight onto the mugger lane.

Speaker 4 (01:08:48):
Tip now that that's noted down. No one really wants
to be brown slash purple.

Speaker 3 (01:08:54):
Well that's what I mean. It's fun that you've got.
You know, you've got the muggleln keep it it real
exactly because you've got to build up to the expensive
one the.

Speaker 2 (01:09:02):
Other square in the purple, cheaper end of town. You've
got one of the adult stores in fish with Yes,
nice touch, Yes that's the name of the store. Okay,
you're taxing us on one of them. We don't have tax.
It hasbro income tax. Are your tax? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:09:21):
I just changed the logo to the acetic government.

Speaker 3 (01:09:23):
Okay, nice, I must say the detail that you've gone
to impress it. I like this camera buses, you've got it.

Speaker 4 (01:09:30):
So you also got to remember ten years ago it
was very different. So we've got the action logo there.
They don't even go by action anymore. It's transport canbra now.

Speaker 3 (01:09:38):
And they didn't have the light rail than either, no
light rail.

Speaker 4 (01:09:41):
I've also in one of the transport we've got taxi
service because we didn't even have ubers. Different times, you.

Speaker 2 (01:09:50):
And Hasbro on twin pages twinning with the well what
you've called the bell Connon mall but Westfield bell.

Speaker 4 (01:09:57):
Connon, Yes, stuck to its original name.

Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
But still that's exactly the same as the current.

Speaker 4 (01:10:02):
Was on there.

Speaker 3 (01:10:02):
Okay, okay, what I like that you have Mount Taylor
and Mount Ainsley but in different places. That's fun.

Speaker 4 (01:10:09):
I did have for the utilities, we've got actual AGL
Obviously you guys remember Transact Yeah right, they don't exist anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:10:17):
Oh you know what, this was a missed opportunity for
the Hasburg guys. Big splash, right.

Speaker 4 (01:10:24):
Splash got overlooked.

Speaker 3 (01:10:26):
Splash and a Canberra stadium which is g.

Speaker 4 (01:10:29):
It didn't have a name name brand back then either,
right Chicon was that.

Speaker 3 (01:10:35):
On the Hasbrow.

Speaker 4 (01:10:36):
No, it's not on this board.

Speaker 3 (01:10:38):
You did well, they consulted.

Speaker 2 (01:10:40):
But Ostromo's on here. Mate, This is a very good board.

Speaker 4 (01:10:44):
The number one spot on this the last dark blue
Harlman House exactly is exactly the same as the real bod.

Speaker 2 (01:10:53):
It's amazing. I called it.

Speaker 3 (01:10:56):
You know what, Some people would say that maybe you're
a psychic.

Speaker 2 (01:10:59):
You've got the Civic Square photo from when we used
to have the tree, the tree Christmas tree down there. Yes,
we're tired a long time ago. Absolutely, listen, we're very
grateful has Bro. But Lewis may have done it best.

Speaker 4 (01:11:14):
You know what. Let's we'll share this up on our
socials and you can see which one, which one you prefer, who.

Speaker 2 (01:11:20):
Played it better?

Speaker 3 (01:11:21):
My goodness, and then we can get the owner of
Hasbar on the phone.

Speaker 2 (01:11:24):
Ah, they've made their board. I think they're happy enough.
We are wrapped with their.

Speaker 4 (01:11:28):
Boy, it's so it's so good to.

Speaker 2 (01:11:30):
Finally be here. Yes, well done for making it all
the way through to the end of the podcast. You
know what happens now it's time to wrap wrapped.

Speaker 8 (01:11:42):
All the stories you missed. Boy, will give you just
the jeers. Boy, better listen, up for these stories. Aren't
the best girl? They need to be a dressed girl.
Ain't heard nothing yet? It's time for it?

Speaker 2 (01:12:00):
Would anyone mind if I went first, go for beads.
We had a surprise guest appearance by the Silver Fox
Beth in the Other Half, who controversially announced the greatest
year in music was nineteen eighty three. Now that is
I wouldn't call it controversial because if we go to
the top five songs of nineteen eighty three, it's not

(01:12:21):
nine to eighty seven. I stand by nine eighty seven
beg a great year of all time. But if we
go to the top five for year ending nineteen eighty three,
number five was this, And this tells you how good
the remainder of the top five had to be. Nineteen
eighty three number five. Now you remember, well, maybe you

(01:12:41):
two don't, but nineteen eighty three, for those of my
ear and of course your other half Bethope, it was
the year that Australia was the first country in a
million years to knock the Yanks off in the America's
jib and our theme song was number four. This is
in America, by the way, will you come from love?

Speaker 3 (01:13:00):
This song absolute classic. But what is the America's Cup?

Speaker 2 (01:13:04):
Oh my goodness, you need to go to the library.
I could tell you to google it, but you need
to go to the library to really get the real
very much.

Speaker 4 (01:13:11):
You know Bob Hawk talking about anyone who doesn't shout
to work today and gets stacked by their bosses, a
barm or the bosses.

Speaker 3 (01:13:19):
Am I vaguely remember that yet?

Speaker 2 (01:13:21):
Yeah, the great engineer Ben LExEN designed a yacht with
a winged keel, and John bertrand the fantastic skipper of
yacht races around the world, and Australian done Good got
on that yacht that Ben LExEN designed and he took
on the Americans. The Americans never lost because they changed

(01:13:41):
the moves and they had the most money and they
missed around and the little team from down Under went
to America and beat them at their own game. While
this was playing Night three then at number three.

Speaker 3 (01:13:59):
What a moon? This is my favorite all time song.

Speaker 2 (01:14:03):
The Silver Fox might have been onto.

Speaker 3 (01:14:05):
Something here, definitely a close second.

Speaker 2 (01:14:07):
Now you've got to remember if Michael Jackson was at
number five, there's no way that can be his last
appearance in nineteen eighty three, because he also had number two. Okay,
can I what a year?

Speaker 3 (01:14:20):
Kristen and Nije, we're doing a debate the other day
about the best Michael Jackson song of all time and
they no one voted because this this is the best manage.

Speaker 2 (01:14:29):
Over site, huge overside in surprise.

Speaker 3 (01:14:32):
Jean.

Speaker 2 (01:14:34):
And number one was obviously disappointment and that's why nineteen
eighty seven was the greatest year in music.

Speaker 3 (01:14:44):
Oh, I get it now. I was like, that's an
antiqui Max.

Speaker 2 (01:14:48):
Yeah, it's a good song, but in retrospect and we
think about it as a bit of creepy songs. So
back to what need we missed today in the news?
What else? And do we need to rap Lewis.

Speaker 4 (01:15:00):
Well, guys, some bad news.

Speaker 2 (01:15:03):
It's over?

Speaker 3 (01:15:04):
What's over?

Speaker 2 (01:15:05):
Summer?

Speaker 4 (01:15:06):
I mean obviously officially, but the warm weather that we've
been having recently, it's gorne it's done.

Speaker 3 (01:15:11):
That's not completely true, because we've had a beautiful sunny
day today.

Speaker 2 (01:15:15):
Right, the days is still nice.

Speaker 3 (01:15:16):
But like, who wants to be hot at night because
you want to be able to sleep?

Speaker 5 (01:15:20):
Well.

Speaker 3 (01:15:20):
I love when it's hot and sun in the day
and cold at night because then you can snuggle. And
Foxy likes it. Because then I don't even need to
put the airconn on, and then we don't fight over
the air con.

Speaker 4 (01:15:30):
Well, then you guys would have been thriving last night
because it got pretty cold, well below the average for
this time of month. And it felt like just after
six o'clock this morning minus one point six degree.

Speaker 2 (01:15:47):
Right, Yeah, we love it cold.

Speaker 4 (01:15:49):
This morning since October.

Speaker 2 (01:15:51):
I thought about you when I like it this morning
and asked freezing. Yeah, you green lit putting the electric
blanket back on before Anzac Day and I should have
done it. Yeah, everyone think of Louis next time you're freezing.

Speaker 4 (01:16:02):
It's probably tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:16:05):
Me thinking about you.

Speaker 3 (01:16:05):
And finally, Bethany, I just want to say that I'm
proud of myself. I am proud of myself for being
a warrior and getting through the day. As you heard earlier.
I mean you can go back to early on the show, Bethany,
chaos last and we were speaking about that. You know,
I barely slept last night, slept on the couch. I mean,
it's just been a crazy day. We've made it through.

Speaker 2 (01:16:28):
Are you using the story that we missed segment to
repeat a story that actually made the show? No one's
did checked out that early, and it's not that early.
It's a last part of the show. So on that note,
will Bethy bring the same segment again tomorrow? We'll find
out
