Speaker 1 (00:00):
Take a few glasses and apologize to us.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
I'm so sorry, but I'm not taking on my glass.
What's a procedure.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
This is Roden Gabby versus the world.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Nervous, you're flustered. I'm all pumped up. Yeah, a little
bit stretching, Yeah, stretch it out. Get everybody. Grand Pray
just started.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
The Formula one in Miami.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
In Miami, Hello, Gabby, welcome, Darcy morning.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
I'm going to need to turn this off because we
were just sitting here having a lovely chat, Darcy high
and then all of a sudden there was the bag.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
I thought I was run off the track, but he
had his teammate Lando Norris had run off the track.

Speaker 4 (00:46):
And then there was thank god, and.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Oscar is a leap frogged into third, which is good.
He's leading the world championship and he's coming third on
the second lad.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
This is very reminiscent of a couple of weeks ago
when the mask this was on and you had to
turn the teeth it off because you were so distracted.
This is worse.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
You don't yell at the Masters.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
It depends. I mean, that's that last round of Rory
McElroy's I don't know you saw that, didn't You definitely
did not that. I was yelling, Rory was yelling, Everyone
was yelling. That was a thriller. We didn't talk about
that anyway. Oh my goodness. Jack Dolan's off the track.
All right, Well, the poor old one Australian's doing well, Dylan.
Jack Dolan is the other Jack Dylon.

Speaker 5 (01:30):
Oh yeah, Dowan.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Jack Dowan's old man, Mick was the World motorcycle champion
for many years during the nineties and his young fella
has finally made it to Formula one summer, speculating this
will be as like.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
He hasn't start on drive to Survive yet, nor will I.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:50):
He was about to say, fake fan over here.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
You'll never see him on drive to survive. He's had
his six or seven races and this is probably gonna
be you'll switch him out soon enough. All right, now,
let's just I'm going to switch that off and we're
going to switch to something that we've been covering just
a little bit over the last month. Darcy. And I'm
sure you had a fantastic Saturday night when this happened,

(02:18):
and it was fantastic when the Prime Minister came out
after he'd been announced as having won, and he went
over to Penny Wong and he instinctively wanted to hug her,
and she gave him that knowing glance of that's not
us bro, and he adjusted the enthusiastic handshake. Because workplace
relationships at a time of excitement can go one of

(02:39):
two ways.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
That's not us bro.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
I was most impressed. I mean, obviously it's an emotional time.
You've worked really hard, You've got this thing. Everyone's chanting
your name and he took a drink.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Of waters, composing himself.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, but he had my fellow Australians.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
It's Elbow mate the next because there's him, there's Penny Wong,
there's his.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
It's his young feller. Isn't it Well, who is it?

Speaker 4 (03:09):
Exactly?

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Does she have a there's Albow, there's his fiance Jody,
And then there's some rando dude.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
No, I don't think.

Speaker 5 (03:18):
Look, I'm not going to say it's completely random. Surely
it's like a family member.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Thirteen ten sixty, who's the young log out with him
and Joey? Well he's a family member.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Well, Penny Wong's not a family member. She's there so
it could be someone else.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Yeah, but see he's not hugging Penny Wong, whereas he
would hu hug this young man. Anyway, he was. I
was impressed with all the stuff that was going on
that he picked up a glass of water in the
middle of it, just obviously clear his throat and there
was no tremble in the water at all. It's a
measure of how nervous or excited one is, which is

(03:53):
completely normal. And he was cool as ice, very prime ministerial.
So he got it done, Darcy.

Speaker 5 (04:01):
Yeah, we'll also just searching it up now. I do
think it is his son.

Speaker 6 (04:05):
A son.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah right, I did not know that. How did I
second guess myself right there? Right? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (04:14):
But he did. And I really applauded Albert getting up
and doing his speech and he thanked his competitor Dutton,
and everyone started booing, and.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
He was like, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
We need to you know, give credit where credits due.
And I think that was actually quite good.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
I love the way he did that.

Speaker 7 (04:32):
Yeah, you've good.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Sportsmanship, you know. The first dog toto. Oh yeah, And
so he got his he got his total voice on
in that moment because he said listen. I just got
a call from from from Dato. In fact, I've got
that right here. Let's ever listen to it.

Speaker 8 (04:52):
A short time ago I spoke with Peter Dutton, who
has of course conceited defeat.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
And I thank Jim, no, no drop it, Oh you
nailed no, And then the following no.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
He does have a son. You can tell by that.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, absolutely, if he had a rolled up newspaper, he
would have whacked that supporter in the crowd across the nose.
No drop it. So yes, there was a little bit
going on, but honestly they couldn't have managed it quicker
the guy. When I went to vote at the polling booths,
and I think, I don't know. You tell me, Darcy

(05:38):
and Gabby. When you walk in there, there's a bunch
of different people offering you different how to vote cards,
depending on whether or not you want to vote Liberal Labor,
the different candidates, and I get the impression a lot
of people take one of each or take none.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
I took one. So I went to my local polling
booth and in Eatam and Arrow have been I don't
know how many thousands, hundreds of thousands whatever of advertising
for Joe vander Platk. Yes, she's been everywhere, to the
point where it was annoying me because she was too
many places.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
And when I got to the.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Polls, there was about twenty people in blue that were
all lined up like a gauntlet, and there was maybe
two people in red. And I got really annoyed that
there were so many people there trying to hassle me
in blue. So I took a form from the red
people just to like wave it in their faces, spite

(06:34):
handing of a form.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
For all the analysis of the landslide and how and
why it happened, no one's identified spite has been the reason.
I think that's I mean, it's the nose on our
face and knowing you as I do. When there is
a gauntlet of people, had they formed one of those arches,
the human arch and that put their hands over like
at the end of your wedding, they could have turned
you around like they had the numbers.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
SI, You're right, that would have actually.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Been really farn Had everyone done the group clap as
you came in and then formed.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
The guard, I might have changed my vote.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Could have flipped around. But they were they were disorganized,
and that's what people are saying today Darcy with Peter
Dutton's The Analysis of the failed campaign.

Speaker 5 (07:12):
Well, yeah, exactly. One thing that I just wanted to
mention now that I think he's so funny is people
I've seen on TikTok while they're going up and like
they're getting like hassled with all the papers and whatnot,
they end up like Uno reverse carding them and just
signing the paper and walking off as if they're a celebrity.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yeah, they take a sharpie with you and just.

Speaker 5 (07:35):
Shut them up.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
I love that.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
I love the turnip phrase Uno reversing them. I don't
know when I'll be using that. Could I commit to
using it before the day is out? Is it not?
The time will tell. You're certainly the prime candidate, but
could still happen to someone else. Thank you, Darcy, See
you in half an hour.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
Rodin Gabby versus the World.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
For those who aren't Silando Norris, who dropped a fifth
after running off the track, has got that spot back
from George Russell moved into fourth. However, we don't care
about that because we want Ossioscopiastri to win this thing,
and he is hanging on behind Max Verstap and has
recorded the fastest lap of the Miami Formula One Grand Prix,
eight laps down, forty nine to go. You've sent me

(08:22):
your TikTok. Today there's a bloke he reckons. It's funny
when you're a young guy and you go, I've just
created something, but then you learn at some point, no, no,
it's existed for a long time. And this guy reckons
he's come up with how to make your bed.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Well, yeah, his name's Connor, and he's decided to share
how he does make his bed because he thinks it's
the most revolutionary way to do it. And he does
it from inside the bed. So when he wakes up
of a morning, rather than get up and make the bed,
he does it and then gets up. And the comments
are interesting, but I want you to watch it before

(08:57):
we go into that is this revolutionary. Let's have a look.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Okay, let's have a look at Connor Megan his bed.

Speaker 9 (09:04):
This is something that I do that I've never seen
done before, and I want to share with you. Okay,
So when I wake up in the morning, I make
my bed from inside.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
The bed, okay. And he's presenting from inside his bed,
and I'm just gonna I'm gonna make an.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Observation, single king single, yes.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Yes it is, and I'm gonna observe straight away. He
appears to have excellent core strength.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
That might be a fact.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
I'm not. I haven't seen this. I don't know where
it's going. But as soon as you said to me,
you make the bed while you're in it.

Speaker 9 (09:41):
So let's pretend I'm asleep and i just want up
for a brand new day.

Speaker 7 (09:45):
What I'll do right when I wake up is I'll
set this pillow here. I'll set this pillow here.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
No, okay, hang on a second, straight away. This is
more effort than it needs to me.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
Yeah, get out of bed, keep going.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Okay, So instead of having the pillows flat, he's now
put them up, so they're sitting on there and vertical
and they're leaning against the wall behind him.

Speaker 9 (10:05):
Then I've got another one that goes there, and what
I'll do is I'll start to make it and I'll
tuck it in.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Right, okay, Worth noting that his bed he's in a corner,
so there is a side against the wall.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah, so he's still in bed, and he starts tucking
in the sheet and douner against the wall, so that
that side is done, which is kind of smart.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
I'm going to giving points for that.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Leaning over to that side of the bed. If you're
out of the.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Bed, it's a reach. Yeah, yeah, okay, I'm gonna okay,
well done.

Speaker 7 (10:34):
I'll pull that here. I've got another pillow.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Well, how many pillow? He's got three pillows now leaning
against the wall. He's gone for a fourth pillow on
the foot of the bed.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Only I thought only women had fifty thousand pillows on
their beds. You know what, he's breaking the stereotype.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Yeah, good on him. I love the pillow, do you
I love it? I love it, but I love a
pillow display anyway, the.

Speaker 7 (11:01):
Color one that goes there.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
He's just introduced a fifth pillow.

Speaker 7 (11:07):
I love it, and I'll tight so.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Now he's rolled out of bed to be on top
of bed so they'll be able to tuck in the
other side.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
This is a lot of efforts.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Yeah, I think that's a polite way of saying torture.

Speaker 7 (11:27):
The other one is at the end of my bed.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Six pillow right.

Speaker 9 (11:31):
And I'll shim my way out so that when I
wake up in the morning and the first thing my
feet touched the ground, my bed's already there.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
My man, that's a disaster saving time.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
He thinks he's going to less effort. He thinks he's
getting up and one job's already ticked off, so he's
already winning the day. To me, that is the worst
possible way to start your day. That is setting me
up for failure.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Well that hasn't stopped. Eight hundred and twenty two thousand
likes on that video. If you look a number I
made up, that's the actual number I'm looking at.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
All the comments so pretty interesting. Not many people are
saying it's too much effort. Majority of people are saying,
but man, you've got to air out the sheets before
you make the bed, otherwise the dust mites don't die.
That is the majority of comments. My brain never went there.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
No, no, I didn't even get past the effort to go.
It's just not having a good strategy. For a million
other reasons, it has just been exciting to see an
Australian Formula One driver hunting down a four time world
champion in Maxwistappen and the young fella down there from Bayside,

(12:39):
Melbourne has pulled an extraordinary overtaking move and put pressure
on a full time world champion maxis stapp and has
run himself off the road, and Oscar Piastri is leading
the Miami Grand Prix at the moment. The interesting thing
is that Oscar's teammate is best friends with Max Fistappen.
So Lando and Max grew up racing one another in

(13:01):
go karts and they now find themselves battling for second.
And Max has done an incredible job. It appears from
when they were little kids until this very moment of
psyching is made out when it comes to overtaking him.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
So they know each other's weaknesses mentally and physically right,
and they would.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Be so hard and they know that the other person
knows their weaknesses. And the problem with Orlando is Max
has no weakness because he's just feelers slash psycho. You know,
when you've got a psycho mate, you know what a
mess with him?

Speaker 1 (13:35):
You don't want the repercussions of that.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
No, anyway, the world is watching that play out in
the battle for second in the Miami Grand Prix at the.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Moment, Rod and Gabby versus the world.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
So how have we managed to rack up a two
hundred thousand dollars damage bill at Telstra Tower.

Speaker 9 (13:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (13:53):
Will Supposedly five people have gone up into the building.
I don't exactly know how they've gotten in because that
place is fortresses and they've got four computers, multiple keys,
and a historic cast iron red postbox.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
Why the computer's still there, Well, because like a lot
of things with COVID, my understanding is the Telstra Tower
is as was, so you could have been chee, I
need to go back now. So I think we were
still able to go up until that moment they said,
right for COVID, we're closing it.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
And they like they were closing it without the expectation
that it would never open again. So everything just like
it's probably a cup of coffee sitting on someone's.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Desk more or less. I mean, I don't know that
it was Chernobyl like, but I mean, because you've seen
footage when people will put on the hazmat suit and
go back into Chernobyl, you literally will see a book
open on the table with someone's glasses next to it.
I mean, that was high stakes emergency get out. So
I don't I think maybe they dropped their their cut
back in the in the tea room, but everything is

(14:58):
still there, our equipment the You know that we're in
a studio that goes from here up to the mountain
and then goes from the mountain down to wherever you're
listening to it, And so we have access to it
obviously because we have a lot of equipment there in
the same way that's ABC and Double C and our
TV stations. You know, you see all the dishes on
the side. They're there for a purpose. So it still

(15:19):
is a working facility. But as far as access to
the public is concerned, any of those areas. So when
you go up to the viewing deck and the whole
thing that my understanding is from our engineer is it
is completely untouched the screens. You know, when you're there
and there's the screens that show the slideshow of all
the things that are going on in that out that

(15:40):
window that you're looking at, do you remember that.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
I think.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
So they're all still on.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
They're still on.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yeah, they're burning in obviously because they've been on for
five years.

Speaker 4 (15:48):
That's a waste of electricity.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
To tell about it. I mean, Telster, by the way,
said they were renowing this years ago, years ago, a
year ago.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
It was about a year ago that Andrew Barr told
us that they were committed into getting it back up
and running, but we haven't seen anything since.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
It's not to say that they haven't, but no, there's
no news of the work having begun. And it's an
important part of our community. I know that for other
people they see parliament houses the symbol of camera, but
it's the can bearns. That's our thing. Yeah for sure,
and there's a real opportunity in our skyline. Yeah when
you talk about Telstra's pr yes, jujap our thing.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
It's your thing and our thing.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Get that trending shoshop our things. What does your work
uniform have to look like to be protest worthy?

Speaker 1 (16:37):
Well, that is a really good question, because Starbucks are
getting protests from their staffers in I believe it's mainly
in the States. I don't know if the Starbucks in
Australia also going to follow this. I would actually assume
it would be international. But in the States, they've put
it out there that they're changing their uniform and they're
not giving a uniform as such, they're just having a

(16:58):
color code so that they're Wristers are wearing something that
makes the green apron really pop because they want their
branding to be front and center.

Speaker 4 (17:07):
But the people who work.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
At Starbucks are fuming because it means that they can't
have any kind of self expression when they're at work
in regards to their clothing. I'm going to tell you
what the uniform is. Can you tell me if this
is repressive? So they're evolving the dress code in all stores,
so the simplified color options will be solid black, short

(17:30):
and long sleeve, crew neck, collared or button up shirt
are allowed. Or any shade of khaki, black or blue
denim bottoms.

Speaker 4 (17:39):
That's pretty flexy.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
You ask me, you're allowed to wear jeans, You're allowed
to wear khaki or black pants and then a black top.

Speaker 4 (17:48):
That doesn't seem like that's asking too much.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
When it's a funny thing because this uniform business. If
you've got a uniform, you wear the uniform. But obviously
this coffee have said you can just need to play
with the within this color palette. Right, yeah, and straight
away freedom. I found a quote here. This is from

(18:14):
a news dot com Dot a U article this morning.
A barista wearing a band danna and a party hat. Okay,
that's a good measure straight out of the gate of
what type of expressiveness. The Starbucks stuff are looking for.
A barista wearing a bandanna and a party hat can
be seen addressing management saying quote, I don't understand how
the dress code is in good faith of letting us

(18:37):
express ourselves, which is what you said. Another worker then says, quote,
we're just expected to lay down. It's a uniform, right.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
And I don't know why they're so upset because me personally.

Speaker 4 (18:52):
I would love a uniform.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
I would love for our workplace to implement a uniform,
like a specific top, specific pant. Comboy was picking an
outfit every morning, all right, is the bane of my existence?

Speaker 2 (19:07):
All Right, I hate it.

Speaker 4 (19:09):
I'm not allowing you to do it.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Damn it. You can see me coming.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
Rod and Gabby versus the world.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Before we go to Darcy's News with an announcement from
Clive Palmer in regard to his future. I didn't know
he was seventy one until he just mentioned it in passing.
I did the flick around and he was on the
desk or the panel for Channel seven's coverage, and.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
With a wild card to get him onto the desk.
You never know what he's gonna say.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
Yeah, it wasn't get in that regard. We look at
the ratings, see which one of the channels? Which one
do you ABC? Seven or nine? So ten I tried.
Every time I switched to ten, there was an ad
at a certain point. When is it stuck? No, No,
they just.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
It's had a lot of ads.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
I had a lot of ads, all right. So the
ratings for Saturday Night are in. We'll have to look
at that also. When we ca with Darcy with the
announcement from Clive Palmer, I'm almost reticent to give you
this next story. However, a Pennsylvania woman has been caught
on camera. You know, you see some of these road
rage situations and there's just cameras everywhere. Ah, she's got

(20:18):
upset with some blow and so the quote in the
story is a Pennsylvania woman was caught on camera taking
a dump on another driver's car. Oh my god, during
a revolting road rage incident.

Speaker 4 (20:35):
I do you know where my mind goes.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
I want to hear that. I'm in an instant where
I'm having a bit of a confrontation and I'm really angry,
potentially tearing up because I'm so frustrated. I don't think
I could will my body to pooh.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
And that's the thing. So, and I'm in the same
headspace as you. I thought, cheer, You've in a relaxed zone,
which is the polar opper sort of being infuriated because
you certainly you know you need to relax.

Speaker 4 (21:03):
You do otherwise you could hurt yourself.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Yeah, So I'm just thinking about the physiology of it.
You know, I'm not distracted by the by the grotesqueness.

Speaker 4 (21:12):
It is gross.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
It is gross, however, but no, that is interesting. I
have the footage. Oh no, I say, well, I think
the answer to your question is in the footage. Okay,
all right, talk through it. Here's laughing. Well on, I

(21:32):
know you've worked it out. So is not happy there
it is?

Speaker 1 (21:37):
So it was there's there's there's no holding that back.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
No, and so that's opportunistic. And so the part where
people are angry at her absolutely should be. This is disgraceful.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
But that was even worse than I expected. I can't
believe you made me watch that.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
At that pivotal moment, she's gone, well go anyway, you
got into her headspace.

Speaker 4 (21:59):
Pretty I'm in that head space a lot.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Darcy Clive Palmer's made a big announcement after his party's
performance over the weekend.

Speaker 5 (22:11):
Yeah, well, he said now that he's too old for politics,
and he's decided, after not picking up a single seat
in the lower house, that he will not be coming back.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
We have a very vague recollection of him making the
same promise three years ago at the last election, when
he also gained zero seats.

Speaker 5 (22:33):
Yeah, but they've got a Senate seat in Victoria though.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
Okay, when they got one seaton.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yeah, he's gone.

Speaker 4 (22:41):
He said he wasn't coming back, and then here.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
He was again. It's very early, too bored, It's very
early to play a clickbait connoisseur. Not that it happens
to be early. I don't think we've ever done a
clickbait connoisseur during your news Darcy. However, the headline today
trumpet of Patriots leaders shock move to election result. And
you told us about her suwell and rights and on Friday.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Drink and drinking driving.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah but you gave it. You ranked where all the
legal misdemeanors and charges of all his different candidates were,
and she was the least of the brother Yes true. Anyway,
she's their leader. And the headline is trumpet of Patriots
leader's shop move after election result. What could she have done?
Would you click it? Oh? Yeah, we're clicking at this.

Speaker 4 (23:30):
One's got me where they get confused on the internet.

Speaker 7 (23:32):
I'm just like you.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
It's a bit confusing.

Speaker 5 (23:34):
I can't really get it anymore.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
I mean, what even is a TikTok?

Speaker 7 (23:37):
Clickbait has tricked to soul watching me click?

Speaker 2 (23:39):
Or watch miss scroll?

Speaker 4 (23:40):
Do I click that clickbait?

Speaker 2 (23:42):
Or am I getting troll?

Speaker 3 (23:43):
You choosing gets up to your.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Confused If this is your first clickbait connoisseur, are you
a clickbait connoisseur? Do you see the headline and I'm
not gonna waste my time it's not a story, or Gabby,
do you take the bait hook line and sinker?

Speaker 1 (24:02):
I often do and am sorely disappointed.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
Or maybe you will be rewarded? All right, all right,
here's the story news dot com dot Au. They never
let us down quote in a shock move, they stuck
with the headline in a shock move. The party leader
took to social media on Saturday to thank her fellow
Hunter candidates before locking her Facebook and x accounts on

(24:25):
Saturday evening after the election. And here's the quote from
the post is I assume this is where the shock's
coming from. To my fellow Hunter candidates, thanks for a
respectful and engaging debate about what we need in our community.
One thing we can all agree on, Australia is the
best country on Earth. I'm shocked, well, I think what

(24:48):
we know of her, shocked that she's actually that was
nice being diplomatic.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
Rodin Gabby versus the world.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
You asked me what Liz Hurley's time. I was about
the day because she's been with Hugh Grant, who's successful
Hollywood actor and of course famous relationship with Warning, the
greatest spin bowler in history, and now Billy ray Cyrus,
superstar of country music. I just don't think you don't

(25:19):
understand or should I go for? And I said, listen,
they've all got fantastic hair. I couldn't work out a
link between them, and no one else has come up
with a better suggestions.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
So since we were talking, they're all bad boys, bad boys.

Speaker 4 (25:36):
They're definitely all bad.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
Boys, bad boys.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
But I was really intrigued to find out why Liz Hurley.

Speaker 4 (25:42):
When Liz Hurley and Billy.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
Raven cross paths and became friends, Like when.

Speaker 4 (25:47):
Did they meet? How like, do they just.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
Socialized in the same circles, which I can't imagine they do,
or how did they actually.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
Cross parts can only speculate.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
I've done some diggy I thought you might have, and
we've found out how So. You know how every year
there's about a million Christmas movies that come out. I
love them, especially, really really cringy Netflix Christmas movies. They
are the best, and they've become a real thing now.
A couple of years ago there'd be three or four.
You'd get through them all. They're all terrible, but that's

(26:20):
what made them so great. And the celebrities have realized
how popular they actually are, so they've started to get
in on these Christmas movies. I know Lindsay Lohan's done
a couple. I don't know there's others. But Liz Hurley
jumped in on one of these a couple of years ago.
It was called Christmas in Paradise and she was the

(26:42):
daughter of Kelsey Grammar.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
Kelsey Grammar from Fraser is in a film called Christmas
in Paradise and Liz Hurley is her daughter. Fantastic, Yeah,
how old is Liz Hurley?

Speaker 6 (26:54):
No?

Speaker 1 (26:54):
I didn't think she was young enough to be Kelsey's daughter.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
I would have thought in real life old enough to
be married Kelsey Grammar. But if she has looked after herself,
and I suppose if you're cast in a role you
know that says you're younger, just.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Go with it.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
So it turns out her dad, Kelsey, has been dumb,
isn't responding to any calls and has disappeared to a
Caribbean island, and so her and a sister decide to
go save their father and bring him home for Christmas.
So they head to the Cariban.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
Sorry, I was distracted by something. I was Why does
he need saving?

Speaker 1 (27:25):
He's broken, He's got a broken heart. Oh, and so
he's just like run off to the Caribbean and they're like,
we better go find him and bring him back for Christmas.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
I didn't miss anything.

Speaker 4 (27:33):
No, you didn't at all.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
That's literally he needs rescuing. Oh who took him hostage?
What's the situation? Broken heart? Got it?

Speaker 1 (27:43):
These Christmas movies don't need a deep play.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
No, no, no, I know as soon as you said that,
I've gone Christmas movie. Yes.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
So they've run off to the Caribbean and while they're
Kelsey Grammar has befriended Billy Ray. There it is, and
he then befriends assisters and there's no romance between them
within the film.

Speaker 4 (28:01):
They're like friends.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
Maybe there's some staring into each other's eyes and having
deep conversations, but there's no actual like they don't get together.
There's no romance that unfolds Liz Hurley.

Speaker 4 (28:10):
And Billy Ray.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
But there is a clip from the movie that has
started doing the rounds where everyone's like, this is the moment,
this is when they.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Fell in love during a scene.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
So I'm going to get you to play the scene
and you tell me if you think this is when
they decided it was on keeping in mind he was
dating his ex wife at the time.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
Australian fire rows from frame.

Speaker 6 (28:41):
Now stand, who won't?

Speaker 1 (28:45):
That's about it's that just keeps going like that for
the three minutes.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
It looks like they're sitting maybe on a deck, maybe
near the ocean.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
They actually ran a fire right.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
And he's playing the guitar started on a tied shot.
Let's give another minute. There he is got the guitar playing,
confusing that someone's singing harmony.

Speaker 4 (29:06):
I don't know how that's happening.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
No one in the scene is singing.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
I like, do they have a boombox and he's playing
along to it?

Speaker 2 (29:12):
There's an explanation, I don't know, except he's still playing
the guitar. It makes again Christmas in Paradise. She's just
looking at.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Him, She's just lying there gazing at him singing.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
And that's the moment. That's the moment.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
And to make it even more awkward, I feel like
the woman singing that we don't see or have no
idea why she's singing is fire Rose because they penned
and produced this song together, Billy Ray and Fire Rose,
who he then ended up marrying and divorcing within like
seventy days or something.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
Right, listen, the real question is how offended is Kelsey
Grammar to be cast as the dad Ossie Osco Piastre
is still leading by four seconds to his teammate, who
is about a million miles ahead of anyone else in
the run.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
I hope no one's trying to avoid this until they
can watch it later. In how you avoid all social media,
so that yeah, until you can watch the race.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
It's the thing with really any if it's not the
Australian Japanese or Chinese Grand Prix. They're all at a
useless time, but the Americans at least were up.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
But if you are waiting till the end of the
day yet, anything can still happen. Should I announce spoiler
alert before I say maybe?

Speaker 1 (30:27):
Maybe?

Speaker 4 (30:28):
Because some people are trying to avoid it.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
Spoiler alert. It's too late to say it now.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
We haven't announced that. What's like the winner, so we're not.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
There, but I will g Yeah, who we're just talking
about Liz Hurley and her type. Who did she have
a Damien with your young fellow?

Speaker 1 (30:47):
It was a businessman by the name of being Oh yeah,
they passed away. Yeah, but Damien is the spitting image
of her, right like There' Well, I.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
Was wondering if he was a particularly good looking bloke,
because I often describe men as handsome guys. But there
is no other word to describe Damien. He is a
beautiful man.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
He is.

Speaker 4 (31:11):
He he really is.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
He looks like his mum, he really does.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
Steve Bing was his name, wealthy American business producer.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
Yeah, yeah, well he yes, everything's worked out for young
Damien and he's a model these days, all right. Darcy's
news very soon he has news that I think probably
goes without saying, but just to remind it, don't mess
with Brazilian police. Probably has a specific anecdote to go
along with that advice. But a first time voter has
asked a seemingly obvious question over the weekend and probably

(31:42):
isn't alone.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
Yeah, I was definitely thinking it when I was voting
at the booths on Saturday. But this first time voter
was questioning the use of pencils that are provided in
order to make your votes, because pencil can be rubbed
out and altered and whatnot.

Speaker 4 (31:59):
There's a lot of security.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Around polling boots, around the actual paperwork and whatnot, so
they their electoral commissions come out to say there's no
issue with pencils being used because there's no tampering.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
My wife said exactly the same thing in regard to
why we with pencils, can't you change it? To which
I said, you're sounding like a Trump supporter and she said, well,
that's the thing. Straight away with our hesitance, she says, well,
maybe he's talking some sense, and I said, this is
how it happens.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
But if you think about it, if someone were like
Trump in the Australian election. They could use that and
come out and say, oh, they were tampered and then like,
what's your backup? So well, you could always say that anyway,
even if it's anything else. But I found out you
can actually take your own pen if you are worried
about your vote being tampered with or being changed or
rubbed out or being altered. You're allowed to use a

(32:46):
pen if you take it with you yourself.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
What's more Australian then going to an important election and
just filling it out in pencil and someone says why
didn't you bring a pen saying she'll be right, mate,
she'll be And that, I imagine is the AEC's whole philosophy. Actually,
you don't see the slogan at the bottom on the
if you have to look, Yeah, if you have a
look at their their letterhead, if you ever get some

(33:09):
correspondence from them, look closely Australian Electrical Australian Electoral Yeah,
they don't even spell it correctly, Australian Electoral Commission. And
then down the bottom, sure, be right mate, should be
right mate, pencil.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
They have come out though and said that under Section
whatever of the Commonwealth Electric whatever act, they have to
provide an implemental method for voters to mark their ballot papers.
And they've said that pencils are the most reliable because
pens run out of inc and whatever else, so it's
easier for them to have polling booth staff sharpened pencils

(33:44):
throughout the day than replace failing pens.

Speaker 4 (33:48):
And I hadn't even thought of that.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
Whose job is it to take around the pencil sharpener
and sharpen as they go?

Speaker 2 (33:56):
Pencil sharpening go. Don't know, but you got imagine you
ran an election without a upening go disaster. A lot
of people don't realize that one of the people in
the crowd during the Prime Minister's speech at the end
of the evening actually held up a pen And here's
what happened.

Speaker 8 (34:14):
A short time ago. I spoke with Peter Dutton, who
has of course conceited defeat, and I thank Jim no no.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
Get out of the pencil correct, Gaby versus the World.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
Spoiler Alert Formula one in Miami has just concluded and
after starting fourth, the young Aussie bloker Oscar Piastre, has
won this thing. Wa a dry Did you say spoiler alert? Yeah?
I said it.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
Okay, good, I missed that.

Speaker 5 (34:49):
Everyone's death.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
Well it's you know, if you do follow the sport. Yeah,
it could not be more inconveniently timed after the first
three rounds of the season, because once it leaves the
Asia Pacific basin, that's it. It's in the middle of
the night or the American ones. Yeah, sometimes we get
it in the morning, which is what we've got. Incredible.
That means he is leading the World Championship by a

(35:13):
substantial amount. Now, this is incredible, but a quarter of
a century since we've had an Australian win this thing.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves, Darcy. Don't mess with
Brazilian police, is your message today?

Speaker 5 (35:23):
Yeah, one hundred percent. Well, they had five thousand officers
at a concert with Lady Gaga, a free concert on
Copacabana Beach two almost two million people turned up for
said concert.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
Or wouldn't you Yeah, which I would think.

Speaker 5 (35:39):
Five thousand police is pretty or.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Not a lot?

Speaker 1 (35:43):
Yeah for two million people.

Speaker 5 (35:44):
But they said security was tight and two people were
arrested for plotting a bomb attack, which, yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
Well done to the Brazilian police.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
Decod I was expecting Gaga.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
You weren't expecting Barry Manilow. No, no, you weren't. That
makes it not gonna lie. I was gonna go for
some gagar but then you mentioned the beach, and well
here we are. Well they all know jiu jitsu, or
the police, the Brazilian police. I mean, it sounds like
I'm joking, but they do. Really, of course they do. Brazilian, Yes,
Brazilian jiu jitsu. All coppers I suppose are trained to

(36:24):
a degree in some hand to hand combat. But the Brazilians,
that's it. That's not going to stop a bomb. So
well done to I suppose their intelligence community over there.
That's a great result. Potentially terrifying, but a great result.
Rod and Gabby. If we've got a quizzical or a
bamboozled tone, it's because something's happening at the Formula one

(36:49):
two degrees at the moment twenty one the top this afternoon,
the Australian young bloke Oscar Piastre has won this race
in Miami. Spoiler alert, so did the wrong way around.
The cameras seem very preoccupied with a young lady who
we can only guesstimate is his new girlfriend.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Yeah, she has a McLaren phone case. So I'm going
to assume it's a girlfriend. I tell you one is
rock of Matt.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
That's how he got it. I've got some merch. Would
you like McLaren phone.

Speaker 4 (37:15):
You've got to come on a date with me for
me to give it to you.

Speaker 2 (37:18):
And she loves that McLaren phone case. But I haven't
said all the drivers have partners and wives. Max Fitts
happened became a dad a few days ago. Congratulations, baby
Lily was born, which is very exciting. Of course he's
the stepfather of her, of his other half's first little girl.
Does an amazing job. But I haven't seen this preoccupation

(37:40):
from the coverage of the sport with so many dramatic
zoom ins on a girlfriend. So that's the sort of
pressure any burgeoning new relationship needs.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
Yeah, I'm sure she will watch this back and love that.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
Otherwise this relationship's over real fast because that's a lot
of attention.

Speaker 4 (38:00):
She looks great, so she's got nothing to worry about.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
Yeah, all right, we all forgot to protest last week?
What did we miss?

Speaker 4 (38:05):
We did?

Speaker 1 (38:06):
There was a protest happening last Tuesday. It was called
the Cash Out Day, protest. So this is the thing
where it actually happens on a yearly basis, where we
show the banks and politicians that Australians expect to be
able to access and use cash and that physical cash
is our legal tender. So you know how some banks

(38:27):
have gone cashless when it comes to going into the
bank and you've got to just go the ATMs and
one not anyway, people are very upset about it.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
You're upset about that.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
Yeah, no one wants to go to this cash list
society that's been talked about. And so there was the
so there was a protest for everyone to go to
a banker and atm and take cash out, so that
there's like this big influx of people getting cash out
to prove that we need cash to stay within society. Yeah,

(38:56):
the problem being everyone forgot to protest. So the four
big banks have actually recorded that the cash out that
they had on the protest day was less than every
other average.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
We've really let ourselves down as a community and a society.
I think the part with any protest, you know that
thing that you're angry or yes, you're passionate enough about
that you're going to protest. It really needs to be
top of mind. I mean you need to be thinking
about it a lot, and I was got cash did

(39:31):
not occur to us at all.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
Rodin Gabby versus the World.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
Melanie Bracewells back on the TV. She is the host
of the Cheap Seats on Channel ten. She joins us.

Speaker 6 (39:41):
Now mel Gooda, Hello, nice to talk to you.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
Last time we spoke, it was the morning after you'd
flown back from an international something or rather I'm the
say junket. And then you landed and you went straight
to the grid for some soiree before the Australian Grand Prix,
and you squeezed us into the schedule. And I just wonder,
minutes after we've seen the Yussi young bloke Oscar Piastre

(40:08):
when he's he's a swallow alert he's the third Grand
Prix in a row, do you actually have any interest
in the Formula One?

Speaker 6 (40:16):
I genuinely do. I mean I don't follow it the
same way as my co host does. So Tim McDonald
does a Formula one podcast. And because I've come into
it later on, because they invited me along, they got
to go, like I get, I got the most privileged
way of entering the fandom of the Formula One, and
I brought my boyfriend and he'd never been interested in

(40:37):
the Formula One and now he's so into it. And
so I get a lot of my updates through my
partner Sean. So it's you know, it's really takes takes
a whole. It's just not as big in New Zealand
because we don't I mean not to not to bring
up the New Zealand driver that didn't do so well.
You know, there's no New Zealand b Prix, so it's

(41:00):
not as ingrained in US as as kids growing up
New Zealand.

Speaker 4 (41:05):
Where would you have it?

Speaker 2 (41:06):
It would be beautiful down oh my.

Speaker 6 (41:08):
God, maybe around Lake Topoor or just yeah, I don't know,
just maybe my mum's driveway.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
I saw, I mean, you might know what this is.
You know, you're just scrolling and I saw someone posted
they got on a it's not it's not like their
own go cart. But there's a place there. I'm going
to need to give you more detail than that. The
place yep. And essentially you just jump in these these
I don't know, these buckets with wheels and you go

(41:36):
flying down what appears to be I mean, it's a
proper business. It's called a luge, and and it looked
beautiful and terrifying all at once. Is that they're not
so worried about people hurting themselves there.

Speaker 6 (41:50):
Oh yeah, Honestly, now I think how good I am
at the luge. Maybe I should have been a Formula
One driver. I don't know if I could fit in
one of the carts. I nearly fitted my Suzuki left,
so that might be too hard.

Speaker 1 (42:03):
But you are a sporty gal though, because you're playing
basketball at the moment. Speaking of your high what happened
in the game on the weekend, was there a fight?

Speaker 6 (42:10):
Oh my gosh, yeah, it was really intense. Actually, we
we we had like a semi final and then the
finals will be on the same day, So we were
two semi finals and we did our simi final. It
was the most wholesome semi finals all time. You know,
you put up a good shot, the other team go
well done, and you know, vice versa. It was so wholesome.
Then the next game, the people that were sickond and

(42:30):
third on the ladder versed each other and it was
so intense. They started fighting and they started brawling, and
then as a result they just they just both got
disqualified and we won.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
We got the gold middle, so we brad breed it
right to the end.

Speaker 6 (42:46):
We really brad breed it. It was It was kind
of beautiful and really had to go back there because
we hung around for an hour to watch another game
and then we just went home. It was crazy.

Speaker 2 (42:55):
What level of net is this Wednesday night at basketball?
Is this? Say? Is this midweek mixed basketball or what
is it?

Speaker 6 (43:03):
No, this was genuinely last night mixed basketball last night.
That was my evening.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
It was.

Speaker 6 (43:09):
Yeah, it was wild, but very very funny.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
Whenever I hear it exactly, I was wondering at what
level you're at? You said, social sport, And as soon
as I hear mixed anything that explains where the fights come,
because those of us that don't still have it play
like we might want to still have I mean, we were.

Speaker 6 (43:30):
Very happy to get our middles, but they were definitely
from Timu.

Speaker 2 (43:32):
You know.

Speaker 6 (43:35):
It's okay.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
You know, have you tried to peel it back and
see if this's chocolate inside that thing that could be.

Speaker 6 (43:43):
Could be?

Speaker 7 (43:44):
Ye?

Speaker 1 (43:44):
You had a show on Saturday night which you were
really mad that they then booked the election for that
particular night, did you have to like follow the election
count while you were on stage and make sure the
audience is okay?

Speaker 6 (43:57):
Well, it was the greatest relief of all time when
they called it like thirty and my show was nine fifteen.
So I came out and I was like, we know
the result, and people cheered, and you know, because it
was pretty much sold out, I was like, you know,
Peter Dunne wasn't the only one to miss out on
a seat tonight, so that was really nice. It was
kind of beautiful.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
Were you Gabby's been telling me to announce spoiler alert
before I mentioned the results of the Grand Prix this morning?
Did anyone get upset that you revealed the results and
they couldn't go home to watch the replay of the
election game?

Speaker 6 (44:30):
Give we were to go home and watch Anthony Green
by ourselves. Yeah?

Speaker 7 (44:37):
Simple.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
They were outraged as Crety has become a sex symbol
since Saturday night.

Speaker 4 (44:41):
People are loving him.

Speaker 6 (44:42):
Oh my god, they love him, and then he's now leaving,
so that's so sad. I love that they gave him
the bouquet flowers and the first thing he said, they
were like, can you do a speech? He said, I
don't have a vase beautiful.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
Wow, that's it's a man who's been focused on his
craft of analyzing data is entire no time for var
no time for bars. That'll be the first thing data
moves his attention to. I imagine the challenge before we
let you go of you know, the upcoming Cheap seat
is to really include anything other than this election.

Speaker 6 (45:16):
Well that's the thing though, I know we can get
a little tired of politics. But the good thing about
the Cheap Seats is we're not sitting down and analyzing. Okay,
so when preferences coming and we're not we're not doing
a deep dive of of you know, actual political discourse.
We are just finding the batty moments that you might
have missed. So, you know, there's so much coverage, it's

(45:37):
hours and hours and hours, and we're like big brother,
we're always watching. We will see everything, and so what
we can kind of find and show the things that
you might not have seen throughout throughout the coverage. So
that's what we look forward to, is that people go
far out. I thought I watched everything, but I didn't
see that.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
Well, the Cheap Seats, it's back on ten. So good
to have you back on the TV. We expect to
see you re acting to the Prime Minister admonishing one
of his campaigners in the same way that he might
his dog when he was making his announcements, when someone
tried to cheer that Peter Dutton had not one and yes,
it was a very terse no no, no, yes, well

(46:16):
I suspect that could be in the mix and we
can't wait to see it back on the Telly. Thanks
for the time this morning.

Speaker 6 (46:20):
Thanks so much, guys.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
See, I think when it came to our forecasts over
the last little bit counting down to the election, we
got a nine out of ten, as in, we got
everything right except for one thing.

Speaker 1 (46:36):
Oh oh okay, Well the crocodile got it wrong. The
crocodile predicted Dutton would be the next PM.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
I said, when that crocodile launched out of the water
and snapped down on the phoot of Peter Dutton. But
that was a bad thing, and everyone's like, no, it's
a good thing. Well, well, well, nine out of ten
I got that part right. But I did see the
I did say the act set of being was a
lock for Labor and Jesse Price, The Independent candidate said,
hold my bee, Darcy, where are we at as far

(47:04):
as the potential of a new face, because it looks
like everyone who went around last time's back again. But
is Jesse a chance?

Speaker 5 (47:11):
It is so close, so it's still too close to
call at the current moment. David Smith is slightly ahead
in the last count this morning.

Speaker 2 (47:20):
But yes, she's the preferences though, begging pardon, that's before preferences.

Speaker 5 (47:24):
Yes, yeah, so, but yes, she's done unbelievably well and
it'll be very interesting to see how the end of
the day ends up.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
I think the lives are sending her their preferences. I
think she's in anyway, I do on call to earlieryone,
stay cool.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
She's an independent, right, yes, yeah, interesting yeah, rides of independence.

Speaker 2 (47:43):
Well, the interesting thing with the Senate is that Powe
because again we said, listen, you're going to see his
vote increase because whilst he got in last time, a
lot of people have actually met him and learned of
him as during his tenure as a senator as opposed
to his former life as an athlete.

Speaker 1 (47:59):
Yeah, he doubled so.

Speaker 2 (48:03):
Well last time round. Katie Gallaher was with the act's
number one senator he is now.

Speaker 1 (48:09):
It's not incredible. My Auntie and Laura was actually helping
volunteer and campaign for him.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
Good for her. It doesn't matter who you supported. If
you're out and helping out and manning or woe manning
the stations with the how to vote cards or assisting
any of the candidates, well done. That's why we live
in the greatest country in the world. That's why it
is fantastic democracy. How funny was you see Bill Shorten
on Channel seven. I don't know if any of them were.

(48:35):
I think a lot of a lot of the channels.
Channel Line tried to be funny with their cartoons with
the Dunk Tank. People found that. People found that. Yeah,
people didn't like that. People found it disrespectful to those
that really worked hard. And then they go chucking him
to dunk Tank, but they didn't get voted. Sounds like
gave Bill shortened his dry as a biscuit. So he

(48:57):
was on on Channel seven, was going to play your
tiniest bit of audio. So the liberal Senator Jane Hume's
there and she's copying it because they've lost right and
Bill's down and he's getting stuck in and everyone's having
to go, and so the host goes, listen, let's get
Michaulia Cash in here. We need to even up the numbers.

(49:18):
You need a little bit of support, right, and so
so he makes the big announcement, let's have a look
at this here from Channel seven's coverage. While they were
waiting for the Prime Minister to show up and give
you speech, but it had already been called okay just
before Michaylia joins, the joins the power.

Speaker 1 (49:36):
That is a real concess.

Speaker 3 (49:36):
Here's some discipport for you, Macadia Cash.

Speaker 6 (49:38):
Come went into the studio now, if.

Speaker 2 (49:39):
You don't mind run around and.

Speaker 6 (49:42):
Come on.

Speaker 2 (49:44):
Is my leader of course. In the center of the
storm troop of music, Bill Shorten says, cue the Stormtrooper music.
And I just wish I was the sooningly going, please
play the storm t every music. As Micalia Cash comes out,
it would be so awesome.

Speaker 4 (50:04):
It's a long walk too.

Speaker 2 (50:06):
If she came out to this, it would make her
more awesome. But Bill was on fire. He's just no nonsense.
He's a canber in these days. He runs the A
and U for us like it's ours.

Speaker 1 (50:17):
And he's funny but so dry.

Speaker 2 (50:19):
He's just so dry and he's still is.

Speaker 10 (50:23):
He's still hurting from the one he lost as well. Yeah, yeah,
we got Clyde Palmer on the desk because she's Clib's fault.
You know that Bill lost in ways just ready to
dive across.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
The desk with Clyde bo Chanel seen was great, but
ABC and the ratings romped it in and absolutely blew
everyone else out.

Speaker 9 (50:44):
Of the wall.

Speaker 4 (50:44):
Did you end up having your election count party like
you said you would?

Speaker 2 (50:47):
Ye? How many people three?

Speaker 1 (50:51):
Not including your family zero.

Speaker 3 (50:55):
Just the way I like Rod and Gabby versus the world.

Speaker 2 (50:59):
One thing I think we all have in common, whether
or not it was over the last couple of weeks
or primarily predominantly on Saturday morning or afternoon, we went
and stood in a queue. Yeah, and we cast our
vote and a lot of the status sausage.

Speaker 6 (51:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
I didn't stand in a que though, skipped it. So
I got down to the Bunk and Door Primary School.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
Just put an entire city offside straight away because that
person but do you know someone No.

Speaker 1 (51:25):
I got to the school and it was really funny
because when we did the local election, it wasn't that
long ago. We got to the school, same place, same
polling station, whatever else. There was no line. We walked
straight in, got it done, got out like it was
so quick. But on Saturday, I don't know why we's
had it in our head that that was going to happen,
and so we're just waltzing in and then I look
and I'm like, oh, the line's back there. We'd already

(51:45):
walked past half of it. So my husband turned around
and he went to join the queue. And a lovely
lady who was sitting on one of the seats out
front feeding her baby, goes to me, Hey, just so
you know, if you've got a baby, you can just
go straight in and they and they let you skip
the queue so you can get done and get out.
And I had a Livia in the pram, so Nev's

(52:08):
already gone to the back of the line. I was like,
oh well, so I just left him, and off I went.
I skipped to the front of the queue. I went in,
I got my vote done, and I saw one of
my friends while I was in there, and I told
her that I skipped the line because I had a baby.
She's like, damn, should have brought my pram and made
my seven year old squish.

Speaker 2 (52:26):
I was silly enough. I was about to say, listen,
it's not a hack that a lot of us can
just take advantage of. But yeah, I think you could
if your kid's under ten, I mean Indiana, My youngest
is nine.

Speaker 1 (52:39):
But even like just get air pressed. You have the
bassinette on there, put a doll in there, and then
put the shade down and say they're asleep.

Speaker 6 (52:46):
No one.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
Well, this is turning into a huge scam all of
a sudden for Donald Trump, making headlines for all sorts
of wacky reasons over the last couple of days. As
it appears he's discovered AI. And I don't know whether
not chat GPT can do this or it's a bit
more involved, but he seems to be he seems to

(53:07):
be putting his face on a lot of other people, or.

Speaker 1 (53:10):
He's having an image of himself created. Right, Yeah, you
don't have to put your face on people with chat
GPT these days, they just create the image for you.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
Okay, So I could do this with chat JPT, Yeah,
because you could.

Speaker 5 (53:21):
You could create an image of Trump doing whatever you wanted.

Speaker 4 (53:24):
I think Rod meant himself.

Speaker 1 (53:27):
Like making Arnold schwarzeneggerp.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
Either he offended the entire Catholic community, and justifiably so. However,
he's done a new one today.

Speaker 5 (53:37):
Yes, so as of for yesterday May the fourth. Yes,
he's created an AI image of himself in the theme
of Star Wars. Obviously, so he's just holding a lightsaber
and he's just incredibly jacked.

Speaker 2 (53:57):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (53:57):
I don't even want to see it because I think
the spect me really ill.

Speaker 2 (54:01):
No, no, there's no denying it's cool. Like he's an idiot,
but that's rad as.

Speaker 4 (54:08):
You just wish he's lightsaber and suddenly you're cool.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
Look, obviously it was a disaster, the whole thing that
he did with you know, his his AI forecast of
him becoming the Pope. That was offensive and terior. Yeah, however,
this is cool, and I suppose now we need obviously
there's a strategy at the White House, so he will
go Darcy showing he looks.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
He looks like a gladiator for a couple of Russell
Crow movie, a couple of bald eagles behind him and
the American flag.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
Awesome, fully awesome. That should be your campaign place. I'll
give him a third term if I see that guy,
look at that. What is wrong with this light muscles mate.
So you've got to think about what they're doing there.
The strategists, they're going, what are people like? You know,
they're like big days, They're like Star Wars Day. Let's
put him into Star Wars you know, sort of theme

(54:59):
straight away. I mean, I know the problems and he's
causing everyone and everything, but I can't My eyes don't lie.
It's awesome, it's not. Let's have a look at the
calendar as to other international days or weeks that are
coming up and see how chat GPT might be able
to project him into that.

Speaker 1 (55:19):
Well, just in May, there is National No Pants Day
coming up.

Speaker 2 (55:23):
Okay, let's hope.

Speaker 6 (55:25):
That is not.

Speaker 1 (55:27):
There's also National Keish Lorraine Day.

Speaker 2 (55:31):
Straight away awesome. People love Keish Lorange.

Speaker 4 (55:33):
Well, how would you would you have him eating Keish Loraine?
Would you have him as the.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
Keish he he would be? He would be a Keish Lorraine.

Speaker 1 (55:43):
National Nurses Day, put him in some scrubs ah inspiring, inspiring,
National No Socks Day?

Speaker 5 (55:54):
Not inspired?

Speaker 2 (55:55):
He There are some dumb days.

Speaker 4 (55:57):
National train Day. He could look like Thomas the tank Engine.

Speaker 2 (56:01):
Awesome, lover his face on the front of that train.
People like Thomas World Tuna Day. He could be a
fish good, good tuna, strong, big fish, strong fish. All right, well, Darcy,
that's the first of many stories like that.

Speaker 1 (56:17):
It's National Top Gun Day, I reckon, that's what he's
going to choose. It's going to be Tom Cruise.

Speaker 2 (56:24):
What day is that?

Speaker 1 (56:25):
Oh, I've just closed it.

Speaker 2 (56:26):
It is on.

Speaker 1 (56:29):
International Top Gun Day, May the thirteenth, so it's only
a week and a bit away.

Speaker 2 (56:34):
Okay, he can just restrain himself with all these other
awesome days.

Speaker 4 (56:38):
National dance like a Chicken Day.

Speaker 1 (56:41):
Okay, back to Top Gun Day versus the world.

Speaker 2 (56:47):
I was disappointed for Chervo after he did the hard
Yards during the cyclone and he went out there to
prove his journalistic prowesss Yeah yeah, Erniest stripes. Yeah, we've
spoken about. He comes from athletic background, but he's a
great presenter and he's a charming guy. So he hosts
this breakfast TV show now with Nat Barr, who is
a very experienced an accomplished journalist. And so when I

(57:10):
saw Nat hosting the coverage for Channel seven, you know,
on the weekend electure, Yeah, Chervo was not there.

Speaker 1 (57:19):
Do you reckon that was a Channel seven choice or
a Chervo choice like did he look at it and
go oh, too intimidating, can't go there?

Speaker 2 (57:25):
Shrev would never say that. Chervo, Yeah, he's yeah. He
walked into a cyclone while everyone else was hiding out.
Chervo waded into the literal depths, looked like a drowned rat.
It was like, you don't have to stand in it, mate, Yeah,
like no, So Chervo would have done it. But someone said,

(57:46):
because you're not a journalist, you don't do it. I
think that's a shame. But I'm you know, I'm being.

Speaker 1 (57:50):
Sure to be entertaining. I would have loved it. He
would have been asking the people's questions.

Speaker 2 (57:54):
You're like, how fast can this go? Everything is relative
to speed, and people wanted it.

Speaker 4 (58:00):
To get Bradbury. He would have loved that.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
He would have loved all that. Anyway, before we go
to a whole stack of music for your workday, I
have a receipt that's been posted here on a Reddit
page from one of the multitude of long weekends that
we've had around the nation over the last couple of weeks.
So bear that in mind when you when you shop

(58:24):
at a cafe, for example, you know they've got to
charge ex surcharge the search. So this is an Anzac
Day receipt? Is this camera, we'll get to it straight
away and Zac Day surcharge? Six dollars and eight cents? Okay,
that's all right, Well it's not great, but that's okay.

Speaker 1 (58:47):
I got a centage? Or is that just what they
charge everywhere?

Speaker 2 (58:49):
I assume it's a percentage? Okay? A latte seven dollars fifty.

Speaker 7 (58:57):
A bit?

Speaker 2 (58:58):
I don't know. I'm not a coffee guy, Chelsea. In
the in the producers booth, you coffee girl or a
latte girl?

Speaker 11 (59:06):
I am a iced vanilla late girl.

Speaker 5 (59:09):
Ye?

Speaker 2 (59:09):
Would you spend seven dollars fifty on one? I do?

Speaker 4 (59:12):
It's really random.

Speaker 11 (59:13):
A lot of the different cafes sell lates for different prices,
and for some reason, an iced latte is always more expensive,
which is so weird.

Speaker 2 (59:22):
I don't know if you would do this. This person
on the receipt appears to have asked for almond milk
in theirs one dollars.

Speaker 1 (59:28):
Exp Who will buy a whole thing of almond milk
for a dollar.

Speaker 2 (59:32):
That's not accurate at all, But nevertheless, but that's you're
not surprised by that, Chelsea.

Speaker 1 (59:38):
I'm not surprised.

Speaker 11 (59:38):
Usually alternative milks are like eighty cents more, which is
well annoying.

Speaker 2 (59:43):
An's actaate. Okay, they've also had so someone's had a latte,
and someone has had one of those Stone and wood
pacific ales. It's a beautiful beer. Fifteen dollars. You don't
need I don't need to check with anyone to know
that is been charging like a wounded ball.

Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
It's a lot. That's a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:00:03):
Fifteen bucks.

Speaker 1 (01:00:04):
Cuffee the way I guess.

Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
All right, Ham and cheese toasting thirteen dollars, thirteen dollars. Okay,
let me have a look at the ham and cheese
toasty price here it's fourteen to fifty. But then asked
for an extra slice of tomato surcharge.

Speaker 4 (01:00:24):
Two bucks fifty for a slice of tomato.

Speaker 2 (01:00:27):
Tree says, add sliced tomato too, fifty.

Speaker 1 (01:00:30):
No like that, I get that for avocado, not tomato.

Speaker 2 (01:00:35):
So the good So those that the handful of things
has come in, including the anzac day surcharge just under
fifty bucks forty six dollars fifty.

Speaker 1 (01:00:44):
Eight, two drinks and a ham and cheese toasty.

Speaker 2 (01:00:47):
That is it? One ham and cheese Toasty's got the
slice of tomato, and there was the arm and milk.

Speaker 4 (01:00:51):
On the last talk about cost of moving.

Speaker 2 (01:00:54):
So where could it be? Don't name any names here
because it's not here. It's not here. No Melbourne, Sidney,
Melbourne airports, airports.

Speaker 1 (01:01:07):
Because you can't go anywhere else so they can charge
whatever they want.

Speaker 2 (01:01:10):
You are like a rap court and a trap with
a slice of tomato.
