Speaker 1 (00:00):
Across CANBRA on Mixed one of six point three.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
It's Around Australia on Radio canra's Number work show.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
This is Roden, Gabby all left along.

Speaker 4 (00:16):
We can begin in an hour early.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Before.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
You got a nice boss. It's given you an early mark.

Speaker 4 (00:27):
Let's go. Let's just get out of here last night.
I don't have the authority for anyone to leave anywhere,
so sneak out. Don't tell them I said anything about it. Renee,
welcome back from the news. Thank you, Gabby. Take a
look at Gabby's here. I haven't seen Gabby all day.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
You've been getting pampered.

Speaker 4 (00:48):
You've been doing your best Ariana Grande impersonation in the
salon and you've just.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Swanded the wicked hair flick.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
What did you have your the laptop on your lap.
I'm still getting okay, here's what we'll do, and I'm
getting all the tenth for the show. While you're in
the salon.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
My hairdresser is so great a Luca out at Piligo.
They have set up Wi Fi and everything so that
you can work from the salon.

Speaker 4 (01:10):
Isn't it a shame, however, that a visit to the
salon can't be and the escape that perhaps once well, I.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Would one hundred percent use it as an escape. Except
my particular hairdresser, who's the only one I trust to
touch my hair, only works Monday to Friday, doesn't work
for a weekend, so I have no choice but to
go during work hours. Okay, so as long as I
can work from there, that's fine.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
It's a sign of a mob that are doing well
when they go. Listen, I'm open for business when it suits.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
They are open over the weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
My particular hairdresser is the month to get onto one.
You will follow them and go buy their rules.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
Yeah, one hundred percent. Yeah, like she's away, I will
go to where she is.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
In the week Larry was telling me about a bakery
that opens Thursday to Saturday nine at eight am until whenever. Like, no,
they sell out, Yeah, so no later than one pm.
And I'm like they must be nailing it. Yeah, if
you can go, you know what I'm doing this so well,
I'll work a half week and if you can get
away with it all right, big weekends and we celebrate

(02:17):
to what tonight is it tonight that we get to
the Drone show? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yeah, tonight And the next two nights, So you've got
three nights you can go down to the lake Lake
Burley Griffin and check it out. Six hundred drones lighting
up the sky. There's two shows each night, so at
nine and at ten, so plenty of opportunity to go
and check it out. And of course they've got their
night markets as well.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
I know this is the unofficial national anthem. And she said,
she said, comes from Land, and I'll tell you we
love it. Any of us prem dippology to the two
of any of us that were there watching Australia to
cross the line snatch the America's cut from the Yanks

(02:59):
while this blast out of a thousand decibels and a
boxing kangaroo was hoisted up the mainsail.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
I don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
This must have been many moons ago.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
Must have been nineteen eighty three, so you wouldn't know that. However,
we do love that song, and that was that sort
of pivotal moment in history. We went this could be
a good national anthem. But if we're serious about changing
the national anthem, are we serious about I came from

(03:28):
the dream time. This would be the single greatest national
anthem on the planet.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
Imagine singing this when like our Olympians were enrolled.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
You're with me, it could be emotional. I get emotional
listening to turn up at me. I want to start
crying when I had some fun and talk about stuff.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Let's talk about the Droner, who was Bruce.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
Woodley from the Seekers and Dove new deserve nighthoods. They're
probably the last two blokes that would receive or except
a knighthood. Here we go, Hi, he came the bone,
the prison ships in the back of the neck. Dog
Newton is a young bloke. I Reckon got nominated for
a Golden Guitar with his band, the Bushwhackers. And this

(04:11):
is probably my problem. This is some decades ago my recollection.
By the way, this might just be a rumor. My
understanding is they won it and then they went down
to that river there in Tamworth and threw it into
the river.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Oh really yeah, because they were young, rebellious b accolades music. Yeah, okay,
it's like smashing a guitar on stage.

Speaker 4 (04:34):
I'm the door the dig just this songet, I gotta stop.
I get too emotional. Anyway, They've had tremendous success in
country music. Circles. The Bushwhackers never received another nomination since
because no, no, because they chucked the trophy in the
in the river. Maybe they deserve one and maybe they've
got one more recently. I haven't spoken of Dope for years,

(04:56):
so maybe things have changed. But it was a legendary story.
So if you offered him anighthood for that incredible song,
he would probably you know, not accept he'd throw it
in the river because he's Aussie.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
As mate Drone Show, do you want to see these images?

Speaker 4 (05:08):
I'd love to.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
Here we go, So these are some of the images
that are happening in the Drone Show, happening over like
Billy Griffin. Oh, it's really cool.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
Oh there's a surfer. It's incredible. They can do this.
I know I've seen them. You see them on your
socials when you're flickering. Does John Eagle? There's a there's
an eucalypt incredible they get the eucalypt.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Gunnif Oh what did you say?

Speaker 3 (05:31):
It was? You clypse?

Speaker 4 (05:33):
You clyped?

Speaker 1 (05:33):
What's the eucalypse?

Speaker 3 (05:35):
It's the leaf, the eucalypto.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
Oh I should have learned last year when we wanted
to play a game using the botanical names for plants,
and Gabby's response after the pitch, maybe even halfway through
the pitch, was I have never been more bored in
my life. So we didn't play a.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Game, so you're still hanging on to it in a
way for.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
Me to turn up and just use the word eucalypse,
it's not even like an it's a Latin word. As
soon as we introduce Latin words. You should have seen,
Gabby just go, you gone, mate?

Speaker 3 (06:05):
When not doing it, this is rotten, Gabby. Australia Weekend.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
Well it started for a lot of us even earlier
last night at Manica with us knocking over England in
the T twenty women's ashes. Did we knock them off?
Or did the rain? Because it was said to be
a thriller? One over to go England batting kneed twenty
two off the last over you go, that's a tall order.
Whosh they hit a four, you go, hang on a second.

(06:33):
This is on eighteen runs, needed five deliveries to go.
It is on, mother and Acure said, I'm going to
bed over.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
Well that's lucky for us, isn't it. Yeah?

Speaker 4 (06:47):
I would have loved to have seen the next five deliveries, win,
lose or draw. I would have loved to have seen
those next five deliveries. England alone. They brought it. They
brought it. If you were out there, you were you
were given a fantastic stick to twenty game. And so
it's great that Australia wins, you know, because they do
the Lewis Duckworth system. They do the count back essentially

(07:07):
and they go they do a calculation. Yeah, they based
on what's happened. If we did play for another five balls,
Australia would have won by six runs.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
But you never didn't get to see it.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
Yeah you never know. Well you didn't get to see
them have feeding some crack. Well they had a great crack. Anyway,
Well done Australia, Bad luck England. Good to have you
both at Monica last night. Let's play bug in Door.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yay.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
I'm really disappointed about it. I've just opened up the
board game for the first time. I did get bung
and Door Monopoly for Christmas and it's one of the
charity Monopoly boards where the the Rotary Club has got
the charity board where different businesses can buy different spots
on there. I'm disappointed that there's no monopoly Man on
the board. Look at that. No monopoly Man sweat. He's

(07:55):
not featured. Just a bungun or icons, which is great.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
This is the first time I've laid eyes on this.
Before you set it up. If you're like passing it
over so I can describe what I'm seeing, you'll need
to explain what this is. No one knows what what
this is. We don't go down there.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
Hey, bung Do's a beautiful place. Everyone passes through it
to go to coast.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
It's beautiful. People go past it, mate, they stop sometimes
it does look nice. There's a lot of trees down there,
as you would expect.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
You remember that. So on the board game box you've
got a little cottage which is very reminiscent of Bungo.
It's actually the police station that is never manned. That
is the photo for this one, the war memorial.

Speaker 4 (08:36):
Why is the cop shop never manned?

Speaker 3 (08:37):
There's no cops that stay in Bungando anymore. Used to
be when I was a kid, there was a cop
that would live in the residence next to the cop
shop and would be in the cop shop. These days, Nah,
they just passed me.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
I think Queen jan is our closest cop shop.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
You've landed on the cop shop, crime will spike because
there's no cops there. Yeah, let's see if that happens
in this game.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
And then Bugundop Park is featured to which is great
because how good is our play equipment. People love the
Bungando Park. I've got camera friends that go to Bungandor
just for the park.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
Really good park. Okay, so I guess the characters are
the same, you know, like the pieces, So yeah, they're just.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Your typical monopoly board pieces.

Speaker 5 (09:17):
Right.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
The fun thing about the money is it's Bendigo Banker
money because they've obviously sponsored the money. It's got the
Bendigo Bank logo all over like that. And then community
chess and properties are all what you'd expect except their
different Bungandor landmarks.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
No one's going to know what they are. Oh well, you.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
Know be rural bung Indoor, rural, b rural. That's our
farm shop.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
Bung and door rules. So the rural supply, we've got
one in Maron Bamy.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
Yeah, bungdoor bus and coaches.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
But I like them because you've got the letter be
be rural.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
Rural, Bungandoor country butcher. What else we got?

Speaker 4 (09:56):
You got one? But I guess why would you? Why
would you have more? You know, need more one but
older guys.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
And he also supplies the IgA is the super I g.

Speaker 4 (10:03):
A right, butcher's in our IgA as well.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
Well, he's got his own butcher shop as well as
I g A fancy. He's very good. It's actually my
best friend's dad.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
I can imagine he's everyone's best friends because and it's
pretty small.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
You're probably right the Bungandoor rugby club.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
What's the bun Door rugby? What are you? The tiger
hold on.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
The rugby is not so? The tigers are the league.
Mud chooks are the rugby the mud choks.

Speaker 4 (10:37):
That's what I wanted, a ridiculous name, mudchooks, much shooks.
The How have we never heard of the bung Indoor Mudchoks?
How do they travel? How are they going in the cup? Well,
the comp's probably not on at the moment.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
They do quite well.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
Sorry Bungandoor Tigers, but you're too predictable.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
We want the Bungandor in New South Wales regional comps.
That's why we wouldn't hear about them. Like they go
out to Kooma and they go to gingderbyne and they
So it's all like the kind of regional areas around
camera that.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
We played such a hassle playing country. Yeah. When I
used to play for the Dubo Demons, we would drive
all the way to cower Up. We drive to Bathist. Yeah,
how cold Bathist gets?

Speaker 3 (11:20):
Oh, I know, I lived in Orange.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
It snowed orange. We would play in Orange.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
Yeah. When I was queenbier Neple, we had to do
the Sydney comps because we were technically in New South Wales.
Every second weekend we were busting it to Sydney for
a day.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
Well, wouldn't you get to a competitive level and just
about anything in the act you do often compete in
the New South Wales comps. Yeah, that's true and so lucky.
Sydney's like an outer suburb for us, and we just
duck up the road up we go. All right, what
else do we need to know about this game? We
set this game up. We'll play this game periodically through
the show and probably subsequent shows.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
I know that for a fact there is definitely a
card in either Chance or Community Chest. I'm not sure
which one that my mum is very very proud of
because the Bungandor quilters get a mention. Oh so that's
the card we're looking out for when we play.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
The bdqs is what I assume their call.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
I don't think she's ever referred to them as that,
but the.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
Bung and Door quilters, now they are for sure. All right,
we'll set the board up and then we'll let's start play.
Let's let's roll the dive webby Banker. I feel like
that's a trap, but I'm silly enough to go sure.
I don't care. It's a responsibility.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
I don't run and Gabby everywhere.

Speaker 4 (12:34):
You get your podcast from the news, with the news,
the oscars, the norms at least have been announced, so
we'll have the nominees in just the moment. They saw
the Razzies yesterday, and we really must get round announcing nominees. Yes, however,
I noticed Rene, you were very interested in bungandoor Opoli.

(12:56):
That's here, we're playing a game. If you have just
joined us, can you still purchase this by.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
Oh yeah, so Bungunda IgA, the Benigo Bank. I'm pretty
sure at the Melbourne. There's a few shops around town.
You can buy it.

Speaker 4 (13:06):
Reneo was impressed that you seem to know your way
around the board. You were looking at things and going,
oh yeah that's the I know that.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
Yeah. My partner's got some family in Bungador. So if
they don't know about this, I'm going to have to
tell them.

Speaker 4 (13:16):
They're probably They're probably only one of the square. It's
not understand Perhaps anytime Gabby lands on a spot she
goes yet used to babysit him. Oh yeah, old mate
was carving the turkey at Christmas this year, Like you know, everyone,
every person who's associated with one of the businesses on
the board.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Is there any who don't know FBJ law?

Speaker 3 (13:35):
I've never dealt with them and that's probably a problem.

Speaker 4 (13:37):
Yeah, a very wise point. What do we need to
know this afternoon? In the news?

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Reneate, Well, the PM is confident in a cash boost
for apprentices will help keep them in the construction industry
as the government tries to ease the housing crisis. Those
apprentices will get up to ten grand cash spread over
three years for sticking with their trade. A twenty year
old motorbike run has been charged with thirty two driving
offenses after allegedly failing to stop for police several times

(14:03):
in just twenty four hours.

Speaker 4 (14:04):
This week, Idiot, and.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
The nominations for the ninety seventh Academy Awards are finally
out after being postponed twice due to the LA wildfires.
Now do we want to run through a bit of a.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
List here, and the nominees are Ossie.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Guy Piers the Best Supporting Actor. This is Priscilla right,
and this is his first ever normal believe, Yeah, this
is what I always link him back to Priscilla, but
so good.

Speaker 4 (14:29):
After Jason Donovan's best mate in Neighbors back when Jason
and Kylie were and he was come back.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
In the in the last episode of Damers before it
was renewed, he was there. Well, yeah, he's up for
Best Supporting Actor for his role in The Brutalist, which
is up for ten Oscars.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
The Brutalist, I've heard of it. It's I don't know
if there's you'll tell us in the moment if there's one.
A film that's dominated the nominations, but a lot of
people think this could be, you know, the winner of
the Film of the Year.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
Oh yeah, well, up for ten different Oscars. Amelia Perez
leads a charge with thirteen nominations, including Best Picture. Okay,
Timothy Chalomay is in the running for Best Actor for
his portrayal as Bob Dylan.

Speaker 4 (15:17):
I love chalo May.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
I think I just love the name. It sounds so cool.

Speaker 4 (15:22):
You go on your on your game when you say Chalomat, I.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
Always say Schamlay like I always mix ye.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Demi Moore has got a first nod for the Substance.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
I watched that recently.

Speaker 6 (15:34):
What was that like?

Speaker 3 (15:34):
It's it is intense. You don't think it's going to
be a horror, but it turns into a bit of
a horror.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
Yeah right, but.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
It's like, yeah, I mentioned it on the show the
other day, where she takes a substance. It creates a younger,
hotter version of her and they kind of share life. Okay,
it's very uncomfortable.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
When you explained it, I thought you meant it was
making her younger and it makes a clone of her.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
Yeah, but a younger and hot version of her climbs
out of her body.

Speaker 7 (16:03):
Real.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
It's intense.

Speaker 4 (16:04):
Well, it's obviously worthy of a nomination. It's her first
ever Oscar nom.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
Yeah, well she got Well, it's that first nod for
the substance.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
No, no, no, it's her first note. Well, it would be
her first win if she gets it. I don't think
she's ever been nom what Golden. At the Golden Globes,
she received her first ever award as an actress ever,
and her speech was incredible because she said she was
told she was just a popcorn actress that would never
be getting accolades for her work, and she believed it,

(16:33):
and finally, now in her fifties, she's got her first
ever award. And she was just so toughed.

Speaker 4 (16:40):
Any of that brat Pack crew certainly got tired with
a brush. That did make it challenging for them in
all sorts of ways when it came to being taken
seriously for roles. Fascinating. Have a look at that Bratpack
documentary on Netflix if you haven't seen that, you'll see
Demi goes on there and talks about the impact it
had on her career in her life at that time,
and all of them are on there. It's a good documentary.

(17:01):
It's very good. Okay, now we wait ten months and
that happens.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
I don't know how.

Speaker 4 (17:08):
Yeah, well we'll wait soon for the Oscars and Guy
Pierce hopefully to take one eye. In just a second,
we have the verdict. It's in after the suspension by
Channel nine of Junior Carl or Carl Junior Alex Cullen.
And I'm sure it's get back in there and get

(17:30):
back to.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
Work mate, But anyway we thought it would be.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
We'll find out in just a second. I know a
lot of people in waiting to hear what happens in Bungendooropoly.
This is an officially produced version of Monopoly that the
Bungandoor Rotary Club has has put out and it looks amazing.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
It's really cool. So different businesses bought different spots on
the board in different mentions to raise money for the
Rhetoric Club in Pungindor.

Speaker 4 (17:55):
Okay, you've tricked me, I said, can I be the dog?
You said, there isn't a dog, there's a cat. I said,
when did they start using a cat in there?

Speaker 3 (18:01):
I didn't know there was a cat.

Speaker 4 (18:02):
I'll be the hat. And then he said, oh, here's
the dog. So now you're the dog. I'll be the hat.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
I'm the boot, you're the hat.

Speaker 4 (18:09):
Okay, so you're rolling first. Here we go. Let's see
where you can land in Bungandor in Bungandor Opoly eight
Are you gonna double dice?

Speaker 3 (18:20):
Of course there's good I landed on Taylor's Bungandor what is.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
Taylor's in You're gonna get a lot of questions.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
Is going to be So they're a business. They they
have trucks, they have mechanics, they have storage sheds. Another
one of my best friends.

Speaker 4 (18:36):
Everybody Everyone's every place that lands on you're going to go,
went to school with them. I know them.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
I literally my mum used to babysit him before we
even started school. So the two of us have been
tight for a long time.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
Any stereotypes that you're trying to dispel about Bungandor will
not happen during this game.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
Absolutely not.

Speaker 4 (18:58):
Stave over Steve O's mechanics. Yep, he was at Christmas O.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
I will say there. I just found out yesterday that
there is a community park in Bugandor. Didn't know that.
I had to ask my mum where the hell's are
that at? So there are some questions that I don'tate.

Speaker 4 (19:14):
Bung indoors a deceptively widespread region is yeah, it is.
So if you're not in town, you can still be
in bungandor you can be down in the bottom of
the the room. You know the wind, the giant windmills,
the giant.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
Power that's very metal. Oh, it's out of it.

Speaker 4 (19:30):
It's fairy meadow. Or we don't like to be mixed
up with fairy meadow.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
No, well it's Tarigo like area.

Speaker 4 (19:37):
Okay, so can I so can I roll? All right?
Here we go, quick roll before we find out what
happened to Alex Callen. What did I get here? Oh?

Speaker 3 (19:44):
You got ten?

Speaker 4 (19:45):
Ten? I'm flying and.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
I've landed on visiting jail.

Speaker 4 (19:51):
This is a setup.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
You're not in jail, You're just visiting.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
This doesn't get me anything, does it?

Speaker 8 (19:57):
No?

Speaker 4 (19:57):
Nothing.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
I bought Taylor's by the way, all right.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
Good news. Taylor's Gabby owns you now, and jail, I'm there.
Alex Callen accepted a dare for all intents and purposes
from one of Australia's richest men to use a new nickname.
You know you're in trouble when you've got to give
yourself your own nickname. This guy turned up on an
episode of the Block in a yellow Lamborghini, and from
that point forward for years had been known as Lambeau guy,

(20:24):
but he wanted to be a little bit more of
a word that rhymes with anchor and said, no, no,
I want to be called McLaren man because that car
is cooler than the Lamborghini I used to have. And
so Alex said, oh yeah, I'll do that.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
And then he did promise the first reporter or a
journalist to call hi McLaren man on airway would get
fifty thousand.

Speaker 4 (20:45):
Dollars okay, And so it was all funny and everyone
was laughing. But then he gave him the fifty.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
K and that's when lines were crossed. His money had
changed hands, by the.

Speaker 4 (20:55):
Way, And I've thought about this since when we think
about the scurellous Bars behavior. A broadcast has passed TV
and radio. I mean, everyone loves John Laws, everyone, not
everyone loved Alan Jones, but everyone was aware of these
guys and their their record ratings for so many years.
It has never been anything like it before or since.

(21:16):
And they were exposed. Well I don't even know if
we ever got to the bottom of just how much
money they made from big national and multinational corporations who
were giving him cash under the table for them just
to casually bring up in conversation like this, I tell
you who's doing a good job and to help their
share prices and all these sorts of things to be illegal.

(21:36):
And once that was exposed, rules and laws were put
in place obviously for that not to happen moving forward.
Was this was all above board, No one was trying
to hide anything. Everyone was having a laugh.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
Well, I think everyone thought it was a bit of
a joke, but then once money changes hands, it's not
a joke anymore.

Speaker 4 (21:54):
It's a bloody awesome result, is what it is. Yeah,
you're the one receiving the fifty grand. Anyway, Nine are
in a spot at the moment. All eyes are on
Channel nine and this culture of misbehavior that has been
identified and I might be talking that down. So they've
handed down the verdict. They said, Carl, you tell him.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
So then Carl, Yeah, he had to deliver the news.

Speaker 4 (22:17):
And Sarah got on the telly this morning.

Speaker 9 (22:19):
Well, as most of you are well aware, our colleague
Alex Cullen has not been on air with us this
past week. There has been widespread reporting on the circumstances
surrounding this. What I can say is that last night
Alex and nine agreed that he would finish with the network.

Speaker 4 (22:35):
That is un believable. He's the heir apparent when Carl retires,
he's meant to go into the seat, not anymore.

Speaker 5 (22:43):
Alex has of course been part of this team for
this family for five years now. He's always ready with
a smile and a laugh, and without hesitation, speaking for
all of us here, we can say that we are
going to miss him terrible.

Speaker 9 (22:55):
That's for sure. Alex is a terrific fellow. What you
see is what you get, and has been a great
mates all of us over these years, and we wish Alex,
his wife Bonnie, and his beautiful kids all the very
best for the future.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
Uncomfortable, So supposedly they mutually decided that he would leave.
Both nine and Alex came to an agreement, but there's
actually an update from Lambeau Guy as well. Sorry McLaren man.
So Adrian Portelli put up Alex Cullen on behalf of
you mat twenty five thousand dollars to the Salvation Army
in twenty five thousand to the RSPCA because the fifty

(23:30):
grand was returned, so now it's been donated to charity
which was Alex Cullen's choice, like he asked for that
to happen.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
That's when he had a job.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
No, this is only today or sorry three yeah, you're right,
three days ago. But then he said, I've kept pretty
quet about what unfolded with Alex. But even before we
heard that, there was a conversation he expressed his desire
to have this donated to charity. So supposedly he was
going going to donate it from the start. But that
is that the story they're telling was the truth.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
Look, well, ever know the short story is, and I
know that this is divided opinion, but as far as
I'm concerned, he's been thorough dutted. He didn't hide anything.
He was one hundred percent out there. I thought it
was a joke. I get Channel nine. The spot that
they're in can't be seen to be turning a blind
eye to something that you know, people are upset about
and being accused once again of running a boys club

(24:22):
in there. I get that they're in a spot and
there's no way that twelve months ago this would have
been the outcome where they're at. He's absolutely put himself
in the wrong place at the wrong time. But all
I'll say in regard to life and someone else getting
something that you haven't got. If you feel good for them,
you'll be happier.

Speaker 3 (24:41):
You feel good that he was getting fifty grand, yep.

Speaker 4 (24:43):
If I feel good for him, good for him. He
put himself in a spot where he was in a
position to take up an offer that got him fifty grand.
Good if I'm happy about that, and I'm not angry
about that, and I'm not crying at Channel nine and
going well, why should he get something? I'm doing something
and not I get fifty grand? And how can I
get fifty grand? Because I'm not a guy on the telly.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
But it's technically against the law.

Speaker 4 (25:03):
I don't know that it's cash for comet. It's not
a comment. It was a shout out of his name.
I didn't say he's a great guy.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
Is scross Camera one six point three.

Speaker 7 (25:16):
It's around Australia on Radio Camera's number one show. This
is Roden Gaddy.

Speaker 4 (25:26):
You're there as far as I'm concerned. Technically the long
weekend hasn't begun, but just.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
Mentally we're will chipped.

Speaker 4 (25:34):
There's a lot of loitering, you know what I mean.
I don't know whether you're on a site, or you're
in a department, or you're in an office, but you're loitering,
aren't you. You're looking up at the ceiling where I
assume the speakers are the same in your office as
they are ours. Can I see this?

Speaker 3 (25:51):
We're loitering, loitering solitaire on your work computer.

Speaker 4 (25:57):
It's long weekend. Lot's happening in the news this afternoon.
Although if we do have some some flights book for
the long weekend, it's going to be a running of
the gaunt sort of sorts.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
Yes, well it's not as big a problem here in
Canberra as it is elsewhere. I'll get to that in
a sec. But what's happening is we've got many Aussi's
obviously traveling this weekend, going into state and such for
the long weekend. There's workers, so ground crew workers from
a number of different airlines going on strike over a
pay dispute. They've already started walking off the job today

(26:31):
and that's going to flow through to the weekend. Now.
We have been told that there's while there's no strikes
planned at Canberra Airport, there could be flow on effects
from the action that's happening at other airports. In terms
of delays and such delays.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
Yeah, yeah, and so you can't look, you can't do
anything about it, and your plane's not going to take
off early.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
I can promise that's not happening.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
But as far as there being a longer, yeah, layover
or stop over on where you're going, it could be
a little bit of a juggle. So we're not going
to know until it happens.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
Maybe it's worth forking out for the Quantest Lounge or
Virgin Lounge if there's going to be a bit of
a delay. I paid for that once I got a deal.
It was like fifteen bucks if I wanted to go
into the Quantest Lounge.

Speaker 4 (27:14):
What Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:16):
It was like a really last minute deal and they're
like you want it, and I was like sure, and
then I bought it, and then my plane was delayed
getting in and so I only had like twenty not
even twenty minutes to run from one gate to the other,
and I didn't have time to pop.

Speaker 4 (27:30):
In to that. Well, luck you only spent fifteen because
I can say I'm going to have him checked, so
check for yourself.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
Yeah, what's a pop in worth?

Speaker 4 (27:40):
I can say with some confidence it'll be a little
more than fifteen this weekend?

Speaker 3 (27:44):
How much you reckon, like just a round about?

Speaker 4 (27:48):
I would think ninety five okay, and.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
They'll jack it up right because it's a long week.

Speaker 4 (27:53):
I'm still it's a number I've pulled out of nowhere.
We might look it up the power of the public holiday,
high traffic weekend strike, which unions have leveraged countless times
with tremendous success over the decades. Yeah, has it lost
a little bit of its traction with the airline mobs

(28:14):
in twenty twenty five? I mean, how much brand damage
can really be done at this stage?

Speaker 3 (28:20):
Exactly like we're at our peak, aren't we?

Speaker 1 (28:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (28:24):
Yeah, Oh, people are angry atquanas again?

Speaker 1 (28:30):
What is it this time?

Speaker 4 (28:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (28:31):
This is rotten Gabby.

Speaker 4 (28:33):
Twenty four hours ago, there was a lot of talk
about the news dot com dot a you great Aussie
debate and it started as fun, but then we discovered,
you know, they need to get some headlines out of
the data that they get here, so they started asking
some challenging questions, so we stopped. However, we've gathered ourselves
and we've come back and I think the one around

(28:53):
this went to all Australians you're happy with the last
pay rise you got.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
Yeah, And I said, I don't think anyone would be,
because you always want more and you always go in
with an expectation and you negotiated down or whatever in
my opinion. But turns out of all eighteen hundred people
that have been surveyed so far, seventeen percent they've said
they've never felt happy with a pay rise. I thought
it would be up towards one hundred percent that was

(29:18):
never happy.

Speaker 4 (29:19):
Okay, so we are one of the seventeen percent winges. Yeah,
so let's go to the next question.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
He gain.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
The last question was is Australia a sexist country? We said,
this is getting hard, but we concluded that as long
as the type of pain equality that continues to exist
in our country, and we don't know the private sector
as well as obviously the figures that are obliged to
be published by public.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
Sector, the private sector have to do it now too,
under the Katie Gallaher thing that went out where every
single business with more than one hundred employees have to
publish their gender pay gap.

Speaker 4 (29:54):
You're right, and it wasn't good. So I'm sorry that
that is a statistical yep. Fact. So we just hit yes, yes,
but it's better than ten years ago.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
Oh, yeah, it's better than ten years ago.

Speaker 4 (30:09):
All right, next question, be honest. I don't like a
question starting to be honest questions.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
This get back to the cool cabana once.

Speaker 4 (30:18):
Be honest. Are you less productive when you work from home?
Not at all. My productivity was through the roof when
I was able to focus and I was working remotely.
It was fantasy.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
That's my productivity of doing the washing and watching trash
on TV was through the roof. Right, So work wise.

Speaker 4 (30:35):
No, So yes, I'm less productive. No, I'm actually more productive.
I'm putting that in there. Mate. What is the optimal
number of working from home days?

Speaker 3 (30:44):
Oh, if I was in a normal job, because I
like to like to look at you while we chat
rather than through a screen. So if I was in
a normal job, I would say I'd like to work
from home two times a week.

Speaker 4 (30:58):
Yep, agreed.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
It's still like the socialized spective work.

Speaker 4 (31:03):
Which is the hardest generation generally to work with.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
Oh, this is a this is a juicy one, is
it it?

Speaker 4 (31:13):
So hang on? Get the choice of the boomers. The
boomers Jenny generation.

Speaker 3 (31:18):
Is always the one that cops, the slack whoever is
younger than you, You always go, oh, we weren't like
that in our day.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
You didn't even hear the options, and you started trying
to get defensive as to why you're going to pin
it on the younger generation. Yeah, the younger generation.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
Jerks, but it's just how the world works. You always say,
we're better than what you're doing now, and so the
younger generation they suckin Z.

Speaker 4 (31:43):
Do you answer your bosses calls, texts, emails after hours? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (31:51):
I called you at like eight o'clock the other night
to see if you wanted to go to Bluey.

Speaker 4 (31:56):
Yeah, so yeah, yes. Have you ever fantasy what have
you ever fantasized about a work colleague? Where did this
come from? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (32:06):
Back in the day, for sure. Definitely I had big crushes.

Speaker 4 (32:09):
Yes, I have a work crush at all times. No, no,
yes I have in the past.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
In the past. Thank you. It doesn't even more fun
to come to work if you've got a work crush.

Speaker 4 (32:20):
We're back to the fun ones. Do you always pick
up your dog's poop when you are out in public?
Not a heathen loud? How do you mark Valentine's Day?

Speaker 3 (32:34):
Oh? Well, I love love, so I would like a present.

Speaker 4 (32:38):
A celebrate with a romantic partner. B. Hope that my
partner and members see realize when it's all too late.
I made up to see myself.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
Because that's what you do. Yeah, No, I'm a for sure.
I love a celebration.

Speaker 4 (32:51):
This has gone on long enough. Two more? Do you
still aspire to own a house? Yes, it's an Australian dream. Yes,
but I've accepted I will then be able to afford it. Yes,
but I will buy an investment, not a place to
live because of the prices. No, I will never be
able to afford it. No, I don't care. I'm happy
renting or I already own.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
A home, already own I guess well the bank owes.

Speaker 4 (33:12):
Isn't that the truth? Okay? Last one? This is twenty
questions for crying out? What did it say? It only
takes seven minutes? You're kidding yourself. Do you think baby
Boom has had it easier when buying their first home
compared to do not even need to finish the sentence?
Of course they did. Of course they talking about news
dot com.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
About million dollar houses back then?

Speaker 4 (33:36):
Was that quiz designed to upset everyone?

Speaker 3 (33:40):
Are we upset, Yes.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
Yes, everywhere you get your podcasts.

Speaker 4 (33:46):
In the next ten minutes. What's the first thing you
think when someone shoots at your house? WHOA that's and
that is yep, that'll be close the deck. Yep, good,
good good? What have I been up to? So there's
a number of questions.

Speaker 3 (34:01):
That's a guilty conscience.

Speaker 4 (34:03):
Someone shooting at your house.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
Well, I would think I was like it was the
wrong person, like the mistaken identity.

Speaker 4 (34:08):
Someone shoots your house and the first thing you think
of is, oh, it's a case of mistaken identity. I
can see that you would think you.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
Are you are, You're not aiming for me, You've got
the wrong house.

Speaker 4 (34:16):
But it doesn't matter. Your house just got shot at.
This has happened to a current NRL coach. What yesterday?
And we'll find out who and what have been up to?
I mean, whether or not it was a case of
mistaken identity. That's coming up before we get to your news. Renee.

(34:36):
Twenty four hours ago, you announced that the government had
gone and put the hand in their pocket to the
tune of was it fifty million to own half of
rex Airlines?

Speaker 1 (34:43):
Rex ye had to take on a large chunk of their.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
Debts and so having a government owned carrier is an
exciting thing. We haven't had that for a long time.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
Now, that's incendset, right, I get there one Since then
I get confused.

Speaker 4 (34:59):
And so it was always independent because reg An said,
you know, started an set. I thought it was goment No,
well was it? Sorry to the the araauts. What would
you call someone who's a plane fan plane plane spotters?
Was quantus early on? I think they might have been.
And of course we had t N A U up

(35:20):
and we're here with Yeah. Anyway, we haven't had one
for a long time, and so this is an exciting opportunity.
I think whoever is Prime Minister should get, you know,
to be the name of the airline. I think REX
stands for Regional Express, but it's Ozzie has you know,
this is a regional and out back Australia. And I
love the idea, you know, fly on albow or duddo.

(35:45):
I'll hop on a duddo.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
That doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

Speaker 3 (35:49):
Well, I don't know. I feel like Tiger would have
been called duddo. It sounds like it's a dud.

Speaker 4 (35:56):
Yeah, that's a good point. That would have been. This
is scomo. I mean it doesn't say dado. But anytime
you'd like I'm going to I'm going only out back
somewhere and you try to get on SCO mode, they
all just go Hawaii.

Speaker 3 (36:10):
I wouldn't be mad about that.

Speaker 4 (36:12):
That's a good point. I'm stuck going to the Central West.
It's all worked out. Live Brainstorm Guy's just an idea.
I feel like it's getting some support. We'll see what
happens with that, Renee. What else is happening in the news.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
Well, the PM is encouraging young assies to pick up
the tools and start a trade. Elbows announced ten grand
in bonuses for apprentices as part of an election policy.
Court today for a Canberra doctor accused of committing offenses
like sexual assault against four women employed by his medical
practice in Garren's graceful. And there's a new push for
rules to control shrinkflation at supermarkets. I'm very passionate about this.

(36:51):
A stick of brute deodor and at Woolies has shrunken
size by a third with its price program doubling, and
currently there's nothing to stop stores doing it. I the
other day got a Caramelo koala like a packet of them.
They're one of my favorite things in the world.

Speaker 4 (37:06):
Yes, you're right, And I put.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
It up and sent a photo to some friends. Pull
it up against my little finger. A caramelo is smaller
than my little finger.

Speaker 3 (37:14):
We got some Magnum egos the other day and I
pulled it out and I went, nev, why'd you buy
the minis?

Speaker 1 (37:19):
Yes, they're not the mini they are so small I
thought it was a mini.

Speaker 4 (37:26):
It is such a good idea to have this police yeah,
uh huh. And I guess the question is you know
who is the person who goes around with the tape measure? Yes,
to go into Domino's trick that door in and just
you know, get the tape measure out. How else are
you going to police it? But it's going to require

(37:48):
us to all come together as a community and call
the number shrink Fleation.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
Are we setting up it off?

Speaker 4 (37:58):
Shrink Flation Busters. I'll do it. I'll do let's go.
We need the suits.

Speaker 3 (38:04):
Where do you need the suits?

Speaker 4 (38:07):
I love this show so much that I can do
something as insane as that, and no one questioned it. Everyone.
That's a great idea. Stri Inflation Busses. Go for it.
Do it?

Speaker 3 (38:19):
We're in.

Speaker 4 (38:25):
I was eating lunch in the Westfield, Geelong food court
at Christmas time and I couldn't see the gentleman, but
there was a guy. We're almost back to back the way.
We were sitting in the food court and he was
one of those guys that just cranks the phone. Oh yeah,

(38:50):
and the song he was playing okay, Sobrano's bedroom eyes.

Speaker 3 (38:56):
Hmmm, interesting choice, Yeah, especially cranking it in a food court. Yeah,
what are you hoping for?

Speaker 4 (39:06):
Look at all the songs you could have.

Speaker 3 (39:07):
Played, like his theme music, so that people know he's
giving them bedroom.

Speaker 4 (39:11):
Maybe I wasn't going to turn around, but I part
of me was like, I love this for Kate, love
this for Kate. Sobrano in twenty twenty, what was then for?
But we got to cut this business out with the
playing stuff, you know? Put Yeah, yeah, anyway, Kate's Sobrano

(39:33):
feel good Friday. I asked the question a few moments ago,
what is the first thing that you think when someone
shoots Indy a house? And I asked that today because
Manly coach Anthony Sebold was presented with that conundrum. Yeah
so really, yeah, you want to hear the news report?

Speaker 1 (39:54):
Yes, please officers allegedly found a pistol, a rifle and
ammunition at the home of his North Curl Curl neighbor.
Anthony Seabold says, thankfully no one was injured.

Speaker 4 (40:05):
A lovely neighbor. Who yeah, unfortunately, you know, an accident
occurred where yeah, where a bull that went through that
the garage. Look, it wasn't any sinister, lovely neighbor. I
will not be describing I love my neighbors, best neighbors
in the world. We're very lucky to have the neighbors
that we have where we live. Anyone shoots into my

(40:25):
house down a notch, no longer lovely neighbors.

Speaker 3 (40:29):
Down a couple of notches, I reckon a couple of notches.

Speaker 4 (40:31):
Yeah, So obviously something like this happened. It doesn't matter
that it was an accident. It's been reported as an accident.
You've got to go to court.

Speaker 3 (40:41):
Well someone's shooting, yeah.

Speaker 4 (40:42):
Yeah, and apparently the guns weren't registered, all sort of stuff,
And so the judge only really needs to ask one
question to cut through any of the you know, the
theories and the potential motivations or was it really an accident?
One question will solve the entire thing, Are you, sir

(41:03):
a paramatter eels fan? Because if he is, you're going
to jail. That's no accident, no accident. They've been out
of set since the seventy six Grand Final, and let's
not surprise this happens. I've just quickly seen these stats
have come. Where are they from out of the Netherlands

(41:25):
and they they have researched Tesla owners over there?

Speaker 3 (41:30):
Oh yeah, would they have a lot, Well, most countries
do these days.

Speaker 4 (41:35):
I don't know what the Netherlands ev adoption is, but
you feel like they'd be into it. And so participants
to the tune of thirty percent. So thirty percent of
the Tesla owners are considering selling their vehicles because they
admit to feeling embarrassed to own the brand due to

(41:55):
Elon Musk's behavior on the international stage.

Speaker 3 (42:00):
Yeah, I could understand that, you know what to look like,
you're supporting him?

Speaker 4 (42:04):
Do you well, he's not hand building your car if
you're driving one, Now, don't stress.

Speaker 3 (42:11):
I don't see your Tesla and think Elon Musk anymore. Right,
I'm I feel like there's a divide, but now.

Speaker 4 (42:16):
I will Tesla. Yeah, Tesla drivers going and no one
would have had not mentioned. So they're running a pole
news to come down to you. They're nailing their poles today.
Would Elon Musk's controversies make you consider selling your Tesla?
So it's imagine we own a Tesla and let's just
say yes for fun to see what the pole does.
I'm not trying to skew the pole inadvertently do by

(42:39):
hitting yes. Yeah, Okay, cast your vote and let's see
of the fifteen thousand and forty votes, that's a lot,
a lot of readers that have contributed to this pole today.
I bet you they're not like us, not all Tesla drivers.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
Yeah, you would think, although there's probably about fifteen thousand
Tesla drivers just in camera.

Speaker 4 (42:58):
Point the thousand and forty votes, forget forget about thirty
percent in the Netherlands, sixty nine percent say yeah, I'd
probably I'd probably move it on.

Speaker 3 (43:11):
That's a lot. But that's a lot of people like
us going screwing around.

Speaker 4 (43:15):
That's a lot of people trolling the pole, is what
they're doing. Okay, before we catch up with an a
in the news, I can't see this part of the board.

Speaker 3 (43:24):
I've got some bad news for you.

Speaker 4 (43:25):
Oh the best I didn't see this part of the board.

Speaker 3 (43:28):
You're a Samsung user. We always tease you about it
because the majority of us here in this building are
iPhone users. You reckon it's better than the rest.

Speaker 4 (43:37):
We don't.

Speaker 3 (43:37):
But I've got some bad news for you, because Samsung
has teamed up with Google for what will arguably be
the smartest, fastest, and most powerful a iPhone of twenty
twenty five. Yes, so they're offering a human like AI
personal concierge to help with emails, calendar finding, and sharing

(44:00):
cool stuff online, editing photos and videos like, there's gonna
be real AI input and like. The one example is
that your screen will change throughout the day after it
learns your habits. So if it knows you want the
weather of the morning, that'll be up on the morning.
In the middle of the day, it might show you
some entertainment news. When it knows you're about to head home,
it might show you the traffic. So throughout the day,
the interface will actually change when it figures out what

(44:23):
you want to see.

Speaker 4 (44:24):
All things that I've never needed before a day in
my life.

Speaker 3 (44:27):
Yeah, it's like having your own little pa in your
pocket and you can just talk to it. And say
put this in the calendar so you don't need to
be going from app to app like it'll do all
these things for you. The reason it's bad for you, Rod,
not for everyone else. You hate AI. So here you
are cheering this on and saying how great this is
gonna be, but you hate AI.

Speaker 4 (44:48):
This AI that you're proposing doesn't seem to be gonna
do anything of any consequence.

Speaker 3 (44:55):
It learns your habits and then tries to figure out
what you want next. It's learning your weaknesses.

Speaker 4 (45:05):
Well, it's got a lot to learn.

Speaker 5 (45:08):
Across CANBRA on three, it's around Australia Radio canbra's number
one show.

Speaker 3 (45:16):
This is Roden Gabby for long weekend?

Speaker 4 (45:25):
Has we up.

Speaker 3 (45:31):
Moments?

Speaker 4 (45:35):
What are we doing here?

Speaker 3 (45:38):
We are entertaining all of the people who are on
their way home or to the coast.

Speaker 4 (45:43):
Well, we are very jealous of you on your way
on your way to the airport. Perhaps we heard an
hour ago Renee telling us that there are planned strikes
and any of the airline staff at different airports other
than Camera that are striking hopefully to get what they deserve.
Is good for them, but it is going to cause

(46:05):
some bedlam if you do have connecting flights in other cities,
Gabby said straight to the Quanus lounge. She was happy
to sell us a pass for fifteen bucks.

Speaker 3 (46:14):
I got one of fifteen bucks, does.

Speaker 4 (46:16):
Not have any so you stop calling. Please? How much
is it? If you established how much it is to
duck in.

Speaker 3 (46:22):
It's a bit wishy washy, but a Quantus Club flexible
membership flexible member, Yeah, it's ninety nine dollars for twenty
eight days, but adjoining fever one hundred and twenty nine
and at auto renews every month, so it's ninety nine
bucks a month. But you can get single visit lounge passes.
But these passes you can buy with Quantus points or

(46:43):
with money. The price varies by port and is subject
to availability, so I can't actually find it out if
I don't have a flight to connect those single pass with,
so it won't let me go into trying to purchase
one to find the price.

Speaker 4 (46:55):
And when they say subject to availability, the airport with
the strike affecting it and all the existing members jamming
themselves into the lounge means the availability yes is zero.

Speaker 3 (47:06):
Sorry, sad news.

Speaker 4 (47:10):
Big long weekend. The stats are in Who's who's telling
us that sixty one percent of us could not be happier. Yes,
that the day that people will you know, everyone's got
an opinion. Should we keep doing the day on the
day on the twenty sixth or should we move it?
What are the stats this year and now?

Speaker 3 (47:27):
Well?

Speaker 1 (47:27):
Are new polling in today's age age?

Speaker 3 (47:30):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (47:34):
This could skew, this could sc This could skew toward
people being happy with that. Let me guess they want
to keep it there? Yes, whom.

Speaker 3 (47:44):
Can we please have the ages of all voters.

Speaker 4 (47:47):
Published within the age pole? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (47:51):
Yes, because I don't think any younger than forty are
being polled in an age poll?

Speaker 4 (47:57):
Is the age?

Speaker 5 (47:59):
Is it?

Speaker 4 (47:59):
Is it the last existing broadsheet? Is it's still a broadsheet?

Speaker 1 (48:02):
I'll have to google quickly.

Speaker 3 (48:04):
Remember when the Cambra Times was a broad It was
always a broad chain in the bar. It's not anymore, no,
But it was such a pain, like, how do you
read that on the toilet? You can't?

Speaker 4 (48:11):
How do you read it in on a train? Mate?
You can taken up three seats? Can I sit there? Sorry? Mate,
I'm reading the age So yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:20):
There was a story from twenty thirteen saying, as we
say farewell to the broad sheet.

Speaker 4 (48:24):
The age is long of a broadsheet. I think so well,
that will have brought the youngsters in to read the
paper now maybe.

Speaker 3 (48:34):
Well. Yes.

Speaker 1 (48:34):
According to this poll, which may very well be quite skewed,
sixty one percent of ossies want to keep the national
holiday on Jane twenty six, which is Sunday this year.
Twenty four percent are open to changing it, and every.

Speaker 3 (48:48):
Publication is running with this start. By the ways, if
it's fat, I'm like, guys, could you not.

Speaker 4 (48:53):
Do your own research? Why are you taking the ages? Pardon?
The Regartta Point is where we're going to have all
our activity this weekend, Renee.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
Yeah, there's lots happening there on Sunday, So from ten
thirty to two thirty, there's like sausage sizzle, family activities, music,
entertainment and so on. And at nine am on Sunday
morning at ron Terra says a fly over as well.
One of the rough planes a Wedgetowl plane.

Speaker 3 (49:16):
Is that a really loud one?

Speaker 1 (49:17):
I'm not sure, but they're always quite noisy, aren't they.
Is that the one we had at sky because that
was seven Wedgetail. I want to say, listen to me.

Speaker 4 (49:26):
So I promise you and I had no note to that.
She's on E seven Wedgetail. Oh okay, that's the that's
the big boy. I think that's the one, the spy
plane that's got the big doovie on the top that
makes it undetectable.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
Oh oh yeah, well then it mustn't be the noisy one.
If it's undetectable.

Speaker 3 (49:44):
You can't see it, but you can hear.

Speaker 1 (49:46):
Loud and Gabby everywhere you get your podcasts.

Speaker 4 (49:48):
This, however, was a staple of Australian television for twenty
years and is still remembered as the single greatest quiz
show in Australian nay world television history. I just added
the world part because it was that good.

Speaker 3 (50:08):
I don't recall how it works. Okay, so I'm excited.

Speaker 4 (50:12):
For this old fashioned quiz show. We have an episode
from September the eighth, nineteen eighty seven. Wherever you are
this will you know back in the day, whoever was
the best in the house? You know, the questioning for
sale of the century. If you beat the people on
the TV, you are a the smartest person in the house. Yes,

(50:33):
wherever you are, if your work, you're in the car,
if you're with somebody, now's your time to shine. Gabby.
It's you, right versus the three contestants that played on
September the eighth, nineteen eighty seven. Let's go to the VHS.

Okay? That was eight thirty at nights and then at
nine thirty Miami Vice, followed by someone elsewhere and then
some other stuff. All right, let's go, let's go.

so you choose whoever and then they spin that around
and you win the prizes. Or in this case, she
won fifteen dollars and ended up winning the night by twelve.
So when you get a question right, you get dollars. Okay, okay, sure.

Speaker 7 (52:18):
And tonight pleas for a computer system valued at eleven thousand,
five hundred seven dollars.

Speaker 4 (52:24):

That would have been one of a kind.

Speaker 4 (52:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (52:33):
Today on the World's Riches Quiz, we're offering a Commodore
TURBOO and the Camia Tell four thousand and sixteen dollars

Speaker 8 (57:56):
Junk, junk of very even break from the boxes.

Speaker 4 (58:00):
In fact, well, it was quite a show and it's
still going. However, perhaps much like Bungadoor Oppoli, will we
can play a bit more of this episode of Sale
of the Century from September eight, nineteen eighty seven, and
again next week at a different time.

Speaker 3 (58:16):
Hopefully Barb wins.

Speaker 4 (58:17):
Yep, we got to find out go barbed from Narrabunda.
I feel like her kids are listening right now. You
can probably just call ahead and let us know. Spoiler
of she wins. Hopefully it's competitive. It's self tied up
for thirty bucks. Each but does someone by the swimsuits.
We'll find out next week. We mentioned it last week
going into the weekend that Sydney was expected to smell

(58:39):
like vomit and then it didn't happen, But then we
were told no sometime this week. Yeah, and I noticed
that the ground swell of interest and excitement around this
giant flower, corpse flower, it's worldwide.

Speaker 3 (58:55):
Yeah, so these corpse flowers only bloom like once a decade.
Top It's been fifteen years since Sydney has seen one.
So this one was showing signs of blooming a week
ago and finally it did last night. They only bloom
for like twenty four hours, so it's a really quick
opening to be able to see this flower.

Speaker 4 (59:13):
Well, the reason there's international interest in it is that
the blooming is being live streamed. And I know you're
watching it yesterday and you described to us that to
really build the excitement and the energy, he said, they're
fight up the dry ice smoke machine, so that when
it does bloom, it looks extra legendary. That's right. And
I said, that'd be cool to be a strobe light
and some music will just explode when it happens. You've

(59:37):
done further research.

Speaker 3 (59:38):
It was actually a humidifire to keep the flower at
the right condition so.

Speaker 4 (59:41):
That it doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. It helped contribute to
the anticipation and excitement. It did, however, to find out
whether or not music did explode, and there was a
light show with the actual blooming, which we understand has
taken place in between us speaking twenty four hours ago
and now one of the keenest in husiasts, David, has
been there keeping an eye on things. He joins us

(01:00:03):
now on the line, David, were you there? Did you
see it actually happen? After such a huge weight.

Speaker 6 (01:00:09):
So I went after she had started to bloom. So
I think she's like officially started to bloom at two
pm yesterday when I saw that happening, And then I
decided late last night, I was like to you know what,
I'm going to go and see go and see it,
because when are you ever going to get the chance
to see her?

Speaker 4 (01:00:27):
Correct, that's a very good point.

Speaker 3 (01:00:28):
And now you're calling her she because she is named PW. Tricia,
because she's not so putrid, and they're calling her the
Queen of the flowers. So you decided on a whim
to go down and check out this flower, which I
followed your journey on your Instagram reel because I was
absolutely shocked at the lineup. Talk to us about how

(01:00:49):
long it took you to actually get in there?

Speaker 6 (01:00:51):
Yeah, that was pretty mad. I mean last night I
was like, well, last night I heard that there was
people queuing up until midnight, that was when the shut
off was going to be, and they were waiting for
three hours to get in. I thought, maybe this morning
it's not going to be too bad. But anyone who
knows Sydney, it's a very morning city. So I arrived
at seven. They weren't opening until eight, and the lady

(01:01:13):
in front of me actually asked a security man and
he's like, from this point, once it opened, it's then
going to be an hour and forty five minutes only only.

Speaker 4 (01:01:23):
What was the vibe and the energy in the room,
Like is there music? I mean, looking at it was
it was a waiting game, and anticipation over a number
of days is always going to be high. But when
you get in there, what's happening?

Speaker 6 (01:01:36):
So when you get in, you basically sort of go
in in like a group, and then there's a woman
on the microphone, basically being like, take your pictures and
move on, so you don't get very you don't put
in like a funny like sort of performative way. They like,
you know, all hail the Queen and like come and
pay your respreat to Patricia, all that kind of stuff.

(01:02:00):
Everyone's obviously rushing to get their pictures and you know,
have a look, and then you're sort of feeling like
you need to kind of move on because obviously, you know,
there's like you know, probably hundreds and hundreds of people
we're also waiting to get in, so it maybe is
a little anti climactic, but I think you know, obviously,
to see something like that you're not going to see

(01:02:21):
every day, and you know, have that sort of connection
that people are having with nature. I thought it was
really nice.

Speaker 3 (01:02:27):
So talk us through the smell, because we have been
told it smells like rotting flesh, slash vomit, slash dead possum.
What did you experience when you got in there? What
was it like from a nasal point of view.

Speaker 6 (01:02:41):
I don't know if I'm going to have a hit
taken out of me and by the botanic gardens, but
I don't think it smelled that bad.

Speaker 4 (01:02:51):
That's part of the marketing ploy, right, what a disappointment.
Smell as bad as I had thought it was going to.

Speaker 6 (01:02:57):
I think it's just sort of I could just sort
of smell like plants and soil and that kind of thing.
And obviously, I think because obviously it was a bit
rushed as well, you're sort of not like taking a
big kind of sniff in. But I didn't notice any horrible,
putrid smell. But you are a bit of a distance
from the actual flower itself, so it could be that

(01:03:18):
maybe when you get a bit closer, the smells very intense.
But it also could be that maybe you know, it
was over like sixteen hours after the bloom, that it
had dissipated a bit. But I didn't go in going, oh,
it's horrible. It kind of was, well, oh, it just
smells like a normal greenhouse.

Speaker 3 (01:03:35):
It's funny that that's disappointed. You get in there and
you're like, oh, no, it doesn't smell.

Speaker 4 (01:03:40):
I mean, if that wasn't the reason it was making headlines,
it's just like any other flowers. So that is probably
what the talk is about. We'll judge for ourselves. The
white now begins for the next fifteen years and we'll
we'll get ready for the next blooming. But thank you
for taking us there virtually at least David. What if
we want to follow David's journey to see it and

(01:04:01):
you can see it on the socials.

Speaker 3 (01:04:02):
Yeah, it's actually really great because David travels all around
Australia and has some great content on his Instagram, so
make sure you go check out w around the World's
fabulous videos.

Speaker 4 (01:04:13):
Thank you, mate. We look forward to following more of
your adventures and chatting again soon.

Speaker 6 (01:04:16):
Thanks very much, have a good rest of the day.

Speaker 1 (01:04:18):
This is Roden Gabby.

Speaker 4 (01:04:21):
Something's happened on a breakfast TV show, one of ours
or one of the internets.

Speaker 3 (01:04:24):
This is in Poland and it's actually a resurface clip
from a couple of years ago, but it's come back
and for good reason, because it is quite shocking. There's
a Polish breakfast TV show that translates to question for
Breakfast and they had one of their Poland's Got Talent
semi finalists on the show. We all do this in

(01:04:45):
every country. It's the same story, so it's not anything
crazy right now, it's.

Speaker 4 (01:04:49):
Flame of the show. How does it translate question for
breakfast question for breakfast, that's a good name.

Speaker 3 (01:04:54):
Yeah. So Marzina is the host, is one of the
hosts of the TV and she's participating in a stunt
with a magician. The magician was from Poland's Got Talent,
and so he was doing a bit of a trick,
a bit of a slide of hand, and he had
four brown paper bags. One contained a nail, a sharp nail,

(01:05:20):
and the illusionist slams Marzina's hand down on top of
the paper bags and that's that's the magic trick that
you know, oh, she's going to get done, but you
know she doesn't get done, but it goes wrong. I've
got the video there for you, and it does have
some voiceover because obviously it's in another language, so they've
put an explanation over the video in English. But I

(01:05:42):
want you to watch it and tell us what's going.

Speaker 4 (01:05:44):
On, so we can both watch it. Here we go.
You might see this on your social scroll.

Speaker 3 (01:05:49):
The magician has like a man bun, but he's bald
on top with just a ring of hair at the
back that's really long and tied into a man bun.

Speaker 4 (01:05:57):
What a move I think as a as an magician,
unique guy, Oh, you got to do some unique stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:06:03):
Yeah, treck didn't go quite as planned.

Speaker 2 (01:06:06):
On live TV in Poland, during the question for breakfast
morning shows, a magician guy hosts Margena Ragalska.

Speaker 3 (01:06:13):
To join a lot.

Speaker 4 (01:06:15):
So there's you can see the bags are set up.

Speaker 3 (01:06:19):
They're like standing up like a lunch order, right like
it's rolled at the top and they're standing up at attention.

Speaker 4 (01:06:25):
And he's showing her a very big nail, like a nail,
like a you'd use a nail. In fact, this is
bigger than a nail I would have thought would hold
together a frame for a house.

Speaker 3 (01:06:34):
Yeah, huge nail.

Speaker 4 (01:06:35):
It's a big nail.

Speaker 3 (01:06:41):
No, so he slams her hand down on one of
the paper bags. It's meant to be the illusion that
you know, there's nothing in there, the nails in there.

Speaker 4 (01:06:48):
I was waiting for you to tell me that you
went ah, gotcha, no, hold on, hospitalize the nail went through.
Hang on, I guess watch the end of this. Everybody,
no one moved, So really do you hear stunned islands
from me? But I was waiting for what really happened. No,
it really happened.

Speaker 3 (01:07:05):
It actually happened.

Speaker 4 (01:07:11):
It should be and.

Speaker 3 (01:07:13):
I pierced you, is what the magician said, and he
just looks dumbfounded, goes, I pierced you.

Speaker 4 (01:07:21):
That's the part where I expect he's in on it.
He is not panicking.

Speaker 3 (01:07:26):
He's in stun silence, just as you were.

Speaker 4 (01:07:28):
He's not apologizing. He's there and he does the slow
look at the camera like you might get from Jim
in the office when something silly happens.

Speaker 3 (01:07:35):
But he gets the look on his face like he's
really disappointed, like.

Speaker 4 (01:07:38):
Oh, it's not meant to stabber in the hand.

Speaker 3 (01:07:43):
She was fully hospitalized after this episode.

Speaker 4 (01:07:45):
Are we live? Can we do this again with a
different co host, one that will obviously trust me, even
though this could not have gone worse.

Speaker 3 (01:07:54):
That's why I don't think he was invited back.

Speaker 4 (01:07:58):
No, I think he was probably taken away to the
cop shop for.

Speaker 1 (01:08:01):
Questioning everywhere you get your podcasts.

Speaker 4 (01:08:04):
Renee back from the newsroom. We'll get the update in
a second. Turns out Albo must need some work done
at the lodge. I'll tell you how we know. Let's
pay attention to Reneis News. You'll join the dots in
a second quick question before we get to that, and
give you a list of stores, and I'd be interested
to hear if either of you shop at any of these. Okay, Rockman's.

Speaker 1 (01:08:28):
I have a long time ago, I haven't lately Okay
Autograph No, no Crossroads.

Speaker 4 (01:08:36):
I have actually bought.

Speaker 3 (01:08:37):
Something there recently.

Speaker 4 (01:08:38):
W Lane.

Speaker 7 (01:08:40):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:08:41):
Aren't these all like yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:08:43):
Yeah, my mum shops at some of these?

Speaker 1 (01:08:44):
Yeah, mum shops.

Speaker 4 (01:08:46):
Caties No, Rivers.

Speaker 3 (01:08:51):
No, but I've seen some good deals there.

Speaker 4 (01:08:53):
Millers no. No, nony B no No.

Speaker 1 (01:08:57):
My nan used to love nony B.

Speaker 4 (01:09:00):
The mob that owns them have just announced Rivers is
closed where it's about too, So I think do we
still have the one out there at DFO Camber Outlets
in it?

Speaker 1 (01:09:08):
I think so, I'll have to double check.

Speaker 4 (01:09:11):
There'll be some good sales, but I feel because it's
hundreds hundreds of Rivers employees around Australia. Yeah, and so
that's sad. That'll happen over the next few months.

Speaker 1 (01:09:21):
Yeah, series one out there cam.

Speaker 4 (01:09:24):
Okay, Well, we'll get more details as to what the
timeline on that is. And for any of the staff
out there, I'm really sorry to hear this news today
and they will have been given this information yesterday. I
understand you won't have shopped at Rockman's Autograph for Rock
cross Roads, w Lane or Katie's anytime lately because the
same mob owns them. They've shut them all down too.

(01:09:45):
It've gone into receivership.

Speaker 3 (01:09:47):
Yeah, I think that was announced late last year.

Speaker 4 (01:09:49):
It's called Mosaic Brands. So they had this huge portfolio
of these retail outlets and Miller's and nony b are
hanging by a thread and they're looking for buyers. But
isn't it a sign of the times when you both
identified Oh I did at another time, or our parents
did online shopping. How it's a different world and so

(01:10:11):
tough to stay in business if you're a bricks and
mortar store selling clothes. Yeah, I mean I I And
perhaps it's a generational thing, or maybe it's a boy thing.
The idea of getting something out of the mail and
it not fitting and then taking it and sending it
back is the single greatest hassle I can probably imagine it.

Speaker 3 (01:10:29):
It just goes in my wardrobe with tags still on yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:10:31):
Right, wrong size, never to be worn right.

Speaker 3 (01:10:34):
So I can't literally have one on the couch at
the moment.

Speaker 4 (01:10:37):
I want bricks and mortar stores, so much. But sometimes
you see a deal that's so crazy, and so I
called JB the other day because there was an Amazon
deal and they'll match that. Sometimes they say, well match, yes,
I don't know what it was, but well it's probably
this watch that I'm worrying. And so I call them
and I go listen Amazon, I got this watch for
whatever it was, say it was seventy bucks. JB had

(01:10:58):
it for the one hundred and forty. Listen, can you
match this? Or get somewhere near an old mate and
he's he's in a spot and he goes, mate, I
can do, I can do. He's nothing, he can do,
no kind of crack at him. I'm like, mate, I
really like using a store because if something goes wrong,
I want to get back to the store. But are
you killing me out here? What am I to do?

Speaker 3 (01:11:18):
You're killing them? I mean they're killing you.

Speaker 4 (01:11:20):
You're killing me.

Speaker 3 (01:11:22):
Did you buy an Amazon?

Speaker 4 (01:11:23):
Yes, I'm I'm trying to support them. But you got
to keep the light like literally got to pay the
light bill. So how do you compete with these online stores?

Speaker 3 (01:11:33):
It's hard.

Speaker 4 (01:11:35):
It's hard, and I'm sorry for the Rivers team out
there at the outlet center. We'll find out when they're
shouting up shop. Let's go out there and support point. Yeah, Rene,
what do we need to know? The news?

Speaker 1 (01:11:45):
There's concerns for some Aussies travel plans. It's on the
weekend with ground crew workers going on to strike at
airports across the country. Now we're told there's no strikes
at Canberra Airport, but there could be some flow on
effects from action at other airports. A twenty year old
man who allegedly found to stop for several times in
just twenty four hours, has been charged with thirty two
driving offenses, and the PM is encouraging ossies to pick

(01:12:08):
up the tools and start a trade. Elbows announced ten
thousand dollars in bonuses for apprentices as part of an
election policy.

Speaker 3 (01:12:16):
That would go a long way for an apprentice.

Speaker 1 (01:12:18):
Yeah, and I'm not Albow was talking earlier about. I
think he said maybe it was carpenter apprentices or one
similar at least that get paid two thirds or less
than two thirds of the minimum wage.

Speaker 4 (01:12:29):
Yeah, so you get paid less than the minimum wage
because you're training. Yeah, you're not paying for your education
so to spare. So I get all that, But if
you're a trading. And you know, if you're listening, you
got to put your hand in your pocket for your tools, yes,
and the things, yes, straight straight out of the gate.
And then you'll still unless you're still at home with
mum and dad, you're struggling to break even on this to.

Speaker 3 (01:12:52):
You both, My actually two brother in laws, one from
nevside and one from my sister's husband. Both of them
decided to swap trade later in life, and it is
really difficult to do that because they're living out a home,
they have mortgages and responsibilities and they've decided that they
need to do a different apprenticeship. Yeah, and it's really
hard to pay your way.

Speaker 4 (01:13:13):
That's a very very smart point. And I know this
is about the building industry, but it does extend to
all sorts of professions nurses where you have to go
off and you get your training on location. And so
the part where yeah, you can offset it by being
at home with mum and dad not an option if
you are a mature age trading or in one of
these careers where you are getting paid peanuts because they go, well,

(01:13:34):
you're checking your training in there. Well, trust me, the
rent doesn't go.

Speaker 3 (01:13:38):
Down because you're suddenly an uprentice.

Speaker 4 (01:13:40):
Yeah, it doesn't work like that, So good initiative from
Elbow and I reckon he'll be good for getting a
trade out to the lodge because they know that they
hooked him. He hooked them up with them before we
get to wrapped. New listeners to the show show you
speak called Rapped. We like the jingle and it's a
good way to around the week, soite it will continue.
We're excited next week about the new Tina Turner posthumously released.

Speaker 3 (01:14:06):
Yeah, there's been a song that has just been sitting
there for forty years that no one's heard, and so
they're doing a bit of work to it and they're
going to release it. I'm searching everywhere for some audio.
Hopefully we can have a look at that next week.

Speaker 4 (01:14:18):
It's interesting your kneejeck reaction is to say, well, if
it wasn't good enough to release, then why would it
be now? But how many artists do you hear speaking
about sometimes their biggest hit where they go It was
an album track. We weren't even going to put it
on there, but the last minute we added it. Who
had any idea it was going to be so big?
So it doesn't matter that it wasn't released, it could

(01:14:40):
be extraordinary And what a privilege that we're going to
get to hear a song that we have never heard
before from Tina in spite of the fact that the
Queen of rock and roll is no longer with us. Yeah,
so that's going to be a really cool thing.

Speaker 3 (01:14:52):
As soon as I have the audio, I will let
you know.

Speaker 4 (01:14:55):
Cannot wait all the stories I missed.

Speaker 6 (01:15:00):
Boy will give you just the gizboy fed listen for.

Speaker 4 (01:15:07):
These stories. Aren't the best girl?

Speaker 3 (01:15:09):
They need to be a dressed girl.

Speaker 6 (01:15:12):
Ain't heard nothing yet.

Speaker 4 (01:15:13):
It's time for the stories that we missed last week, or,
as we established last week, the people that we miss
this year. And so our producer for twenty twenty four, Bethany,
is very very missed. She was a huge part of
the show last year, so she is now making a
habit of leaving voice memos.

Speaker 3 (01:15:34):
I actually texted her today and I was like, Hey,
are you setting a memo today? She says, I was
literally about to record it, and I go, sorry, sorry,
shouldn't be producing the producer?

Speaker 4 (01:15:43):
What are you thinking? I was I thinking, what what
was the file name that was delivered to you?

Speaker 3 (01:15:49):
So when you do a voice memo into your phone,
it saves as the location where you recorded it, and
so when it sent to me, it was called discount Chemist.

Speaker 4 (01:15:56):
Okay, I assume that the subject matter is not discount Chemist.

Speaker 3 (01:16:00):
It's not at all.

Speaker 4 (01:16:01):
And I can't even imagine what the subject matter is.
So we'll get to Betho's voice memo in just a minute.
What else did we miss with you this week?

Speaker 3 (01:16:07):
Well, the story that I really loved and I really
wanted to bring but it didn't quite fit was the
story of the sociable sunfish that has fell ill because
it missed humans. So there's an aquarium in Japan and
they had to just close it down for some repairs
and refurbishment for a minute, and this huge like the
sunfish is massive, it's like the size of a human,
and it's so used to having people there at its

(01:16:28):
windows looking at it that it started to fall ill
because it was missing that interaction so much.

Speaker 4 (01:16:36):
Oh wow.

Speaker 3 (01:16:36):
And so they had to put cardboard cut out people
with pinned on jackets in front of the glass and
he started to.

Speaker 4 (01:16:44):
Recover too cute.

Speaker 3 (01:16:45):
How cute is that he really missed us?

Speaker 4 (01:16:47):
I wonder if I don't know whether or not fish
have dopamine. But what an interesting study that would be.

Speaker 3 (01:16:52):
They always say that fish have a three second memory,
but obviously not.

Speaker 4 (01:16:55):
I think that's an urban myth. I think we all
bought into that for a long time, but.

Speaker 3 (01:17:01):
This proves that it's not. Otherwise, you just forget every
three seconds that no one had been in.

Speaker 4 (01:17:05):
Yeah. I don't think it's a fish full stop. I
think it was talking about being goldfish, but I think
goldfish still know what's going on. Anyway, what do we know?

Speaker 3 (01:17:13):
What do we know?

Speaker 4 (01:17:14):
All right? Bethany Grace's memo, Here we go? What will
we learn today?

Speaker 3 (01:17:19):
Hi?

Speaker 6 (01:17:20):
It is Beth here for.

Speaker 4 (01:17:22):
It's like I said it last week. It's like you're
getting a message from your mate on your phone smail you.

Speaker 2 (01:17:27):
Okay, Hi, it is Beth here from Rewaite camera.

Speaker 3 (01:17:33):
Keeping Yep.

Speaker 4 (01:17:35):
She's going to put the email in there if you
want to sell your home.

Speaker 2 (01:17:38):
Sorry, guys, I couldn't help it. You know what I like,
I'm a hustler. If I'm not going to like save
my bread. Look missing you. It has been another interesting week. God,
I just have so much to tell you.

Speaker 4 (01:17:52):
So.

Speaker 2 (01:17:52):
One thing about real estate is that you do spend
a lot of time like on the phone. It's all
about building relationships, right, And also as part of that,
we go door knocking, do.

Speaker 3 (01:18:05):
They Yeah, I didn't realize that was still a thing.

Speaker 4 (01:18:08):
Everything there's knock on the do and so you want
to sell your house.

Speaker 3 (01:18:10):
Or if you're interested, let me know.

Speaker 4 (01:18:12):
Yeah, yeah, well you're right. It was commonplace. I still
do that, huh okay.

Speaker 2 (01:18:18):
Which I did for the first time this week.

Speaker 4 (01:18:20):
And I don't know the rest of this memo, but
I feel like she's invited in.

Speaker 3 (01:18:27):
She accidentally goes in and has a cup of tea, no.

Speaker 4 (01:18:30):
Accident, that's her goal and I and she's just such
an affable person. Wooden chair, I would wooden chair.

Speaker 2 (01:18:36):
Not gonna lie A little bit daunting. That was exacerbated
by the fact it was thirty three degrees.

Speaker 4 (01:18:45):
You don't go on the door knock day on a
thirty three degree.

Speaker 3 (01:18:47):
Day unless people are serving our arcy poles.

Speaker 4 (01:18:50):
Well, then you're obliged. You know what. That's smart. If
you're going to tap it out, I'll invite you in.
I would if it's Betho, no one, no one else.

Speaker 2 (01:19:01):
And I was in hills. Yeah, So I was literally
like walking around the South side of Canberra in hills
for two hours, like in a heat wave, and I
was limping the next days.

Speaker 3 (01:19:15):
Look, it's not glamorous, isn't I can't even wear heels
in the office when I sit down ninety percent of
the time.

Speaker 4 (01:19:19):
It's not glamorous.

Speaker 2 (01:19:21):
It was a very, very heart Lesson On the plus side,
I did check my Apple Watch and it was eighteen
thousand steps. So I was like, how could this. I
got paid to work out, amazing.

Speaker 4 (01:19:36):
Missed you guys, Love you guys, chat souit, love you too.

Speaker 3 (01:19:40):
It was so optimistic I get paid to work out.
I would get home and go this is not the
job for me. Eighteen thousand sticks.

Speaker 4 (01:19:48):
You're not celebrating the eighteen thousand sticks. It's not a
measure of success. That's a measure of how badly the
day went. Well, I'm glad that we weren't you losing
you to the real estate industry. That's good one out
of two. We'll take it and have a great long weekend.
We'll see you Monday, see Tuesday, Tuesday. I literally said
long weekend, like John the dots make You've said a

(01:20:08):
long weekend, see you Monday.
