Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You don't think you're a musician. But then after that
you just said they do music. I do music, So
in other words, you're a musician.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
No, okay, what's a procedure.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
This is Roden Gabby versus the world.

Speaker 4 (00:16):
Goody, gooday, Hello Gabby, Good morning, Darcy, good morning. Welcome
to you wherever you're joining usm across the greatest city
in the world. I've put the shorts back on today.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Yeah, we've been going between pants and shorts, which I
am shocked when it comes to you, right, because normally,
once you make the switch, you don't go back.

Speaker 5 (00:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (00:34):
Look, as you as you get perspective in life, you
realize you did some stuff that was pointless.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
And yeah, yeah, I've been telling you that for two years.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
Yeah, but at a certain point you listen to Gabby
two years pretty good, pretty effective, well done, and you
wake up and you go, it's just the weather is
beautiful at the moment, and I guess some of our
Sydney mates will be experiencing it more so because they're
going to be outside and not inside the train. The
Sydney Public Transport workers they love a strike, and you know,

(01:06):
I've always been in support of the unions and getting
the best conditions and pay for yourself. What are they
upset about today.

Speaker 6 (01:13):
The fact that the driverless trains don't have drivers cabins.

Speaker 4 (01:18):
Okay, so they probably should have seen that coming though,
because why would they need one, great question, why do.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
They need a driver's cabin if there's no driver?

Speaker 4 (01:26):
Back to you, Darcy.

Speaker 6 (01:27):
They say they want staff safety and they want the
tax payer to pay for them to be added to
the driverless trains so they can have secure jobs.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
Listen, my support protest can only go so far.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
They want staff safety for the staff that do not
go on the driverless train.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
Yeah, you know what, you can strike over this one
all you like, AI is going to drive the train.
My robot train is getting me there. Look I but
it's just you can't turn up this lake in the
process after the train has been belt without the driver's

(02:10):
cabin and go, you know, we need driver cabins. I
mean that's not a I mean, if you've ever put
an extension on your house, or you've done any renos,
it's very difficult to make it look like it's integrated.
And sometimes it's fine by design, but I can't imagine
with a train. Some big doovy? What's it stuck on

(02:32):
the front of this thing? Doov? What's it? That's it?

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Lego. I just attach more cabins as much as I want.
It's the same thing, right to touch it on, clip
it on.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
Off you goes. Yeah, right again we come full circle.
It's absolutely a big doovy? What's it stuck on the
front of the train.

Speaker 5 (02:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
It is one of those instances, though, isn't it where
they watch this robot train being made, going well, this
is cool? How cool is this? And then it goes
onto the tracks and they're like, hold on a minute,
I have a job?

Speaker 4 (03:04):
What about us? Oh my god, yeah, this happened with us.
The other day there was that big story about one
of the radio stations in Sydney has been secretly using
AI to host the show up there and do you
hear about this? Day said this is the face right,
you're half impressed, but you're also shocked because you go
one plus one equals unemployment. Unemployment. I couldn't even say it,

(03:26):
and so yeah, that's the thing. People are impressed about
the technology until they realize that it does them out
of a job. Let's strike, well, believe you me. We
go on strike. You know what they do?

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Put more in.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
Yeah, you think I'm here? You don't even know what
this is?

Speaker 5 (03:41):
Me?

Speaker 4 (03:41):
Is it? Ai?

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Have we accidentally signed our voices over because that could
be a real issue.

Speaker 4 (03:46):
Really on a serious note, Yes, it is absolutely an issue,
and I'm pretty sure that they can do that. In fact,
not pretty sure they absolutely can do that. So let's
stop drawing attention to that and focus on these train guys.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
What do they think Gabby versus the world?

Speaker 4 (04:02):
However, boy psychology is something that really amongst the three
of us, I'm the only one qualified.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
To give yeah, and so I need your insight onto
some things that happened on Farm Once a Wife last night.
We've been complaining for a couple of weeks now that
it's been pretty boring. Nothing much has happened, nothing exciting
has really made me stop and go.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
That's good on it into boy psychology and boycology here
I am.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
So there was two moments on last night's show, watch
out and.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
Doctor Rod Okay, not a real doctor like John Aitken
from Life is exactly the same qualifications.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
So last night's Matt now last night's Fine Once a Wife, Yes,
went until nine thirty pm. Like it was such a
long episode it dragged out. So to have two good
moments like, it's not enough, but there were still two.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
The ratio is low.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
So first of all, we've got some audio here, so
farmer Jared went to meet the parents of the two
girls he was dating. Now he when met the family separately, obviously,
because otherwise that would be awkward. I've forgot their names
Ash and what's the other name, Chelsea? Name's Chloe, Chloe?

Speaker 4 (05:17):
Ash and Chloe's and what their old man's there? And
this this separately.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
So he goes and sees Ash's family first, and they
all have a lovely lunch.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
Do you want pharma psychology or dad psychology?

Speaker 2 (05:28):
No, no, no, no, I want I want pharmer psychology because.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
He can tell you on behalf of the dads not impressed.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Well, you'll be even less impressed in a second. So
Jared is at lunch. You've got it. You've got to
pay attention to this, right.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
Sorry, you can tell I'm not focused looking at you
going he's.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Otherwise you're gonna get confused. Jared was sitting with Chloe's family.
Chloe's family. Chloe's mom asks Jared a question and listen
to his response.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
Alright, here we go.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
I've got a question to ask. Yeah, kissed other girls. Yeah,
macked on with ash macked.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
What is he thinking?

Speaker 4 (06:14):
He's not thinking, He's not He has no brain.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Now I've macked on.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
Listen to me. I've gone to dad'sycology.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Straight away because Dad is there.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
Yeah. Yeah, listen to me, young.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Man, get out, okay boy. Psychology number two. We talked
about this yesterday. It was in the trailer for last
night's episode where father Thomas was with one of the
girls in the bath.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
You said, farmer Thomas. I know it sounded like father Thomas,
and that is Yeah, that's a difference, difference, very different.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Farmer Thomas in the bath on a date with a
girl sitting there feeding each other strawberries.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
Yes, small bath, small bath.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
At first they were facing each other and then she goes,
I'm just going to rotate, and he was like oh,
and he got a bit nervous. I'm just going to
play you a little bit of and this is this
is the video of it. So Rod, I need you
to talk us through it, but I want you specifically
to look at the strain on Thomas's face, So tell

(07:14):
what's going on.

Speaker 4 (07:15):
I'm just going to rotate equals. I'm going to sit
on your lap in the bar.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Well, she's sitting in between his legs. I was, but
they're like practically spooning in the bar.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
Fine, I mean, let's be honest, in a small bath
probably the most comfortable ergonomic.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
You want to bridge it. Like, yes, you can lengthen
your legs length in your legs.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
We can see it in our mind's eye. Okay, let's
go bath.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Making a step in the right direction.

Speaker 7 (07:42):
Yeah, that's probably been the best date that someone's ever organized.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
Will be mate, because he's sitting in the bar, he's
not exactly on your lap.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Well that's nice to hear.

Speaker 7 (07:58):
Yeah, it's quite nice learning a bit about it. I
guess then you cut straight the chase and all that
and you don't really hold back. I kind of like
that instead of beating around the boys.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
And it's a shaller beer. I mean, I know he's
in the bath, but he's having a beer in the bath.
It's good. She's having a champagne strawberries. It looks fine.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
So his face is looking pretty red, though, don't you think?

Speaker 4 (08:19):
Keep going point good attention to Gabby's focusing on the bloke,
going how good would be boy? Psychology? What I'm here for?

Speaker 5 (08:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Yeah, Like I feel like he's vain in his head
is about to pop?

Speaker 4 (08:39):
What's going on? What do you think he's going on?

Speaker 2 (08:42):
She's sitting up against.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Him in the bath.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
Yeah, I mean we all know what's happening.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
He's struggling. It looks like struggling, struggs struggling. Why are
they playing all here to keep going even more awkward?

Speaker 4 (09:03):
I know if you're listening to this, you go, well,
why are they talking? I think we know why they're
not talking, but I'm surprised that they're continuing to show
it on national television. How long does this go for?
She there's a lot of.

Speaker 8 (09:14):
Knowing glances on it. She's looking at him like what's
going on? And he's like he's like, you know what's
going on? Oh now, we's got no chance. When he's
going into for.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
One more second, that's almost over, still kissing, still kissing.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, felt right.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
So I was just like, you know what this is,
this is my moment, and this is what I'm here for.

Speaker 9 (09:40):
So yeah, I just seize the opportunity and.

Speaker 7 (09:46):
I think good, pretty good, one, pretty nice.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
What do you think's happening?

Speaker 4 (09:56):
It was one thing that was happening, and by the
end it had happened. And before we get to the
lip reader revelation, that is just making news. It's breaking
at the moment after we saw the virtual bust up
between Princess George and Louis, the little brothers nearly having

(10:16):
a full barney in front of the world yesterday, which
it was hilarious as was. Had they thrown down, it
would have been even morals. As I say, without the
Queen there to grab someone by the ear and drag
him out the back and give him, you know, a
little bit of a talking to. It's the wild West.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Would he have pushed him and he fell onto a
dog bowl?

Speaker 4 (10:36):
Oh? No, great point. We all remember when I fell
onto a dog bowl. But yet all one's been able
to tell the difference if you if you missed that show.
When Prince A released his book, he did the reading
and I love that because some readings of autobiography aren't

(10:57):
always done by the author, no, done by different people.
But Prince Harry is actually he's got a fantastic speaking
for us.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yeah, and everyone who's listened to the book is loved dirt.
I tried to read the book, hated it. You didn't
get through it.

Speaker 4 (11:10):
But if memory serves, he had a Barnie with Prince
William and he stepped backwards and he stepped on a
dog ball. We and it was obviously some enough concern
to him that it was in the book. But no
one knows if it was a ball or a ball
like it might make a difference. Sorry, just quickly. Jacob

(11:32):
Preston playing for the Bulldogs this Saturday against the Green Machine. Sorry,
should have been was gonna and then play State of
Origin Game one at the very least, he got banned
for three weeks. So he went to the judiciary last
night because the three weeks he would have missed State
of Origin. Yeah, forget about missing the Raiders game. He
would have missed, like, you know, the most important game
of his entire life has shattered. Jacob Preston has had

(11:55):
his crusher tackle Van.

Speaker 10 (11:57):
Increased, ruling the Bulldog's backrower out of orange in the no.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
So he went there asking them to reduce it and
they've gone, you know what, No, you deserve more.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
I mentioned I was explaining this to produce a Chelsea
this morning. What did you like in it?

Speaker 9 (12:09):
To Chelsea, I said, it's very similar to when you
get tension in school and they're like you try and
fight back and they're like, no, one more days.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
What did you do at school?

Speaker 4 (12:26):
You saw it, you observed it. It was an insight
into Chelsea's mind. So we won't we won't see Jacob
on on Saturday, and nor will we see him representing
New South Wales and behalf of Queen's land. Good, oh, okay,
what has the Liberator said that George and.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
Well, it wasn't George and Louis. It was Louis and William.
But it's another insight because George and say anything, he
just gave him a death stare.

Speaker 4 (12:50):
It was the Great death Stare of twenty twenty five.
Like anyone else, he wants to check any death stairs
out there. You will be in the wake of the
future king.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
But no, this was a bit more insight into little
Prince Louis, who's seven, who was forced to go to
this event with his family, and Prince William supposedly turned
to him and said, look at this, I think it's
going to be quite wet today.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
And here he goes, he goes, it's probably more built
up than his deserved.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
But I don't know what he says yet he wait
way too much built up. He turned to his dad
and he said, wasn't this supposed to be fun? Hes
nailed it in his son, You'll never forget this is Lewis.
Lewis in there just like it is.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
Yeah, that's sass. We saw yesterday. He was bringing that
and he had a serve for every member of the family, Rod.

Speaker 3 (13:45):
And Gabby versus the world.

Speaker 4 (13:48):
Refreshing our memories as far as the much real murder
trial is concerned, and the tragedy that led to three
people passing away, Don and Gail Patterson, the parents in
of the accused, and Gail Patterson's sister, Heather Wilkinson passed
away and the only survivor was her husband, the Baptist

(14:11):
Church pastor Ian Wilkinson. So we learned yesterday Darcy. Ian
was called up to the stand. Oh and there's a
microphone for you.

Speaker 6 (14:19):
Yes, So he was called up to the stand. And
while it was convincing, I thought like there was a
lot of really good points. His point about her refusing
to get help plating up or letting anyone in the pantry.
I think that's kind of just anyone hosting, you know, like,
I don't think that's a very uncommon thing for people
to be like, oh no, you don't have to help Plater.

Speaker 4 (14:41):
Very very smart insight from you, and that's what Channel
seven are running this morning as well.

Speaker 11 (14:45):
Heather and Gal actually asked Aaron whether she would like
a hand plating up the beef Wellington's.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
That was an offer that was rejected.

Speaker 4 (14:53):
Now that's something that we were speaking about twenty four
hours ago, around going in with a preconceived notion of
guilt or not. Yeah, and so straight away, you know,
if you're guilty, absolutely don't touch it, because Darcy's right.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yeah, my mum would never allow help. No way, she's
doing a dinner party. Absolutely not sit down and have
a wine.

Speaker 4 (15:13):
Go and sit down. And we said this yesterday just
about everything. The plate's weird, but the different colored plate.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah, but hey, maybe she only had and that's a
big question or set that's a nice porcelain.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
And I'd be stunned. But even then you go, well,
there was one you know, had leftovers on it and
it was in the fridge or it was in the
in the dishwasher. Even if you did have more, you know,
than the four plates that you know of the matching set.
There are still explanations away from that.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
And because if you had four matching and one not,
you're going to give yourself the knot because you want
your guests to be on the fancy plates.

Speaker 4 (15:52):
Well you know what. And but they are talking about that,
And this is the most interesting part is who observed.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
That similar to evidence that we've also heard.

Speaker 11 (15:59):
He gave detail about the different colored plate that Erin
used and said that Heather actually brought that up to.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Him when they were laying in their hospital bed.

Speaker 11 (16:07):
Around twelve hours later they got incredibly sick.

Speaker 4 (16:11):
So she's lying lying in hospital unwell before she's escalated
to intensive care and ultimately passing away. And suspicions are
beginning to be raised by someone who loses their life
in hospital. But again it's all circumstantial, which makes it

(16:31):
really difficult to prove guilt. But if you're a dura, again,
depending on how you're receiving this information and how you're
hearing these things, they do sound highly suspicious, unless, of course,
you have the presence of mind to go well, I
would never have someone help me plate up if they
were a guest at my dinner party.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
But when things start to stack up and stack up
and stack up and stack up, suddenly it doesn't seem
so coincidental.

Speaker 4 (16:57):
Yes, yes, whither they are building the mountain of evidence.
I've forgotten who's being called today. I'll find out later on,
but yes, the pastor yesterday he was. He apparently was
an excellent witness garage Wars. Is it not like it's
one of those cool shows on like a seven mate

(17:17):
or something.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
It is? What's it about on it? Is it like
some cars?

Speaker 4 (17:22):
Probably just likes chriming up some things. It's making a
bit of crime on it, mate, mean, let's crime it
and flip.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
It, like like pimp my ride or something.

Speaker 4 (17:32):
Yes, let's yeah, that's that's what would be happening in
garage Wars. And so I'm excited to hear garage Wars
have entered your garage.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Not like that. I'm not chroming up my ride chroming
and flipping, I'm not. I'm not making my soccer mum
car into like a party bus or anything like that.
It's not happening.

Speaker 4 (17:52):
If you could get a gear stick with like the
knob has like a red back spider set into the
knob Ah into the Masdar.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
No that a disco ball. I'd go a disco.

Speaker 4 (18:05):
Ball garage walls Worthy.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
No, well that's not what's happening. But we are having
a garage war at my house at the moment because
for the last year and a half that we've lived
in our house, right, I have had it so good.
I've been the only one using the garage and we
have a fair bit of storage going on in there,
but I've been the only one parking in there, and
they've been parking out outside. It's two car garage, but

(18:32):
I've been the only one who and it has been
great anyway, heading into winter and Nevs decided that he
doesn't want to deal with the frost on the window anymore.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
So he's mate, you're sitting there every second hearing this story.
You might be sitting there right.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Now waiting for the window of deep fronts there.

Speaker 4 (18:56):
Have we left it too late again? What we said
last week that we bring out gabby ice scrapers.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
No, we haven't missed. It hasn't frosted yet, No, but
I mean that's coming.

Speaker 4 (19:06):
There's a bit a turn around time, and getting the
merch manufactured is much we'll look into that.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
There might be a dodgy way we can get them quick.

Speaker 4 (19:13):
Well, we remember we did the Ryan and Tanua windows scrapers,
and so if you've got one of those that you
can scrape the ice off, but the glass is still
very cold, and so you don't want to park outside
for much longer this year. I'm telling you that's very true.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
And yeah, never came to that conclusion as well. And
now that he's doing daycare drop off, he doesn't want
to be sitting in a freezing car with the baby
for ten minutes while the car defrosts. Like, I get it,
I get it, I get the reasoning.

Speaker 4 (19:40):
Good on you.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
But we have sorted the garage out so that the
storage is out of the way and we can fit
both cars into the garage. Now, oh my god, it's
a squeeze at two car garages actually made for two cars,
because I don't think they are. They may be made
for two cars without any room to open a door. Yeah,
but they're not really that big.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
You know, these home mobs that build the homes.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
Extend the garage a little.

Speaker 4 (20:06):
Please, that's a selling point. They're selling a lot of things.
Are you say a word? The door opens there, and
we've got no double glazed window garage that allows you
to open the door of your car without dinging the
one next to you.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yes, sell that, Sell that because I've got a two
and a half seat of couch. But I would love
a two and a half car garage. That's all I
need because last night as well, we're both parked in there,
right and I've got the dryer in the garage as
well as it doesn't fit in the lawn.

Speaker 4 (20:34):
Hey, house building mobs, and.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
I'm trying to get in to the dryer. Couldn't fit
the basket between the car and the dryer to be
able to get the clock. It is a mess. It
is a mess.

Speaker 4 (20:49):
I got to say, build us a garage where I'm
not dinging the car when I open the door to
the dryer. Why don't we build a lot? All right?
We've just got a fax from seven Mate. They will
not be taking this as the new season of garage.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
Dwarfs, right and Gabby versus the world.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
I don't know what's the worst thing that could happen
to your car. There's a car on the is it?
I guess it's on the GDE is You're coming out
of if you're leaving Western where you're coming from Targrinong,
and you'll know the one I'm talking about. It had
some police tape on it. It's obviously something you know
was was defective. It's probably a week ago and I

(21:32):
don't know what's happening to it, whether or not people
are going to it at night and smashing it more
each night. So progressively it gets more and more smashed
each day. Have you seen it, Chelsea? You be driving
past it every day?

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Yes, I drive past the car every day.

Speaker 4 (21:47):
It's getting worse each day.

Speaker 9 (21:48):
Is it is the first time it was just pulled
over and then the next day it had been like
putting up in flames.

Speaker 4 (21:56):
Yeah, someone burnt it, yes, set it on fire. But
then it it appears to have become a running joke
for someone or some group to go back and smash
it more. And because now you wouldn't do this in Perth.
I think we're the only spot in Australia that has
the ghetto clause, and that is that our city is
allowed to look like a goddamn ghetto because we will

(22:18):
not tow a car no matter what stated him and
this car it's it's a clause the Act government. Look
it up.

Speaker 9 (22:25):
There is so many cars I've seen that are just
just car. There was a motorbike in the middle of
the roundabout for so long.

Speaker 4 (22:32):
Yeah, just dire for days. You've never seen anything like it.
They don't do that in Perth, right, No, they don't
do that in Perth. Let me tell you.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
In Victoria you have a sign on it to say
the police are checked it.

Speaker 4 (22:41):
Yeah, but in the Act it is the owner's responsibility
to come and get it. No one's coming and get this.
No one's coming to get it. I can tell you
that for a fact. So anyway, that's the worst thing
that can probably happen to your car, just be left
nowhere in the Act. Well I thought, I thought that
until until the last sixty seconds when this is making

(23:03):
news and you'll see this on the scroll somewhere today.
This is incredible footage.

Speaker 10 (23:07):
The family in California has been left stunned by an
unexpected visitor in their car. They were left with no
choice but to watch on as a bear destroyed the interior. Yes,
there is a bear in there. The residents say the
bear got in through an unlocked door and then couldn't
get out for two and a half hours.

Speaker 4 (23:25):
He's cute, he's big. He's a big brown bear.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
And the footage it looks like he's just sitting in
the driver's seat looking around like where shall I go?

Speaker 4 (23:34):
Yeah, well he's also he's not freaking out. But he's
a bear, and so his strength is extraordinary. And what
is it like there, he's a bear. A bare handshake
is like one hundred times the strength of our handshake,
something like that. Right, he's just strong, giant guy. And
so he's trying to get out, and he's obviously trying
to press buttons.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
He doesn't know that there's a door handle.

Speaker 4 (23:57):
No no, no no, and he doesn't have an opposer.
I don't think he didn't oppose thumb. If he actually
if a claw got in the handle, he could open
it anyway.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
Well, he's opened it to get in.

Speaker 4 (24:04):
You've never seen I was about to say, you've never
seen a car as trashed as this car that the
bear has been inside. But go along the GDE and
it's pretty similar. Darcy. You have some now what is
being described as bad news for Hungary Jack's. However, I'm
about to suggest that no publicity is bad publicity. You

(24:26):
would Well, let's see see where this goes. What did
they get fined yesterday?

Speaker 6 (24:32):
So in their kids' meals, they've been putting a little
Garfield toy and they haven't warned people about said Garfield toy.
And apparently it is a huge choking risk because it
contains button batteries.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
Those button batteries can be lethal. Well, they can kill kids.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yeah they can. It does have a screw on the
back where the battery is kept, which is necessary so
kids can't get into it. Yes, but if kids swallow
button battery, it is really really horrific.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
It is interesting that the toy apparently has meets all
the requirements that it has to in its construction. However,
part of the distribution or sale in this case, you
get it when you buy something else, a meal or something.
It's got to say on the packaging that it's got
the button battery out there, and it doesn't. So now

(25:25):
it's a recall, and so if you've got one, you're
meant to give it back in spite of the fact
that we all know now that it's not a problem anyway.
My point is, I love Garfield, and all I've thought
this morning is I've got to get myself a garfield. Yeah,
but this is from last May. It's been quite an investigation.

(25:46):
So honry jets don't have them anymore. And if I
go in there, because you can take them back apparently right,
so you can return them.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
They can't redistribute them though.

Speaker 4 (25:54):
That's how convincing am I going to need to be?
What could I say?

Speaker 6 (25:58):
You could just hang around the front of a hungry
Jackson wait for someone, like for people, someone who's talking in.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
That's a better idea. I was going to say, just
hang around out by the skip bins. What else are
they going to do?

Speaker 4 (26:08):
A great point. That's a great point. So either I
look like a maniac approaching cars unsolicited, Yeah, as they
come toward the building, you know, probably without a toy
they got from last May. Or I hang around the bins.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
What choices?

Speaker 4 (26:24):
Yeah, it turns out publicity can be bad publicity, and
any of that publicity around my behavior around those areas
would be bad.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
Gabby versus the World.

Speaker 4 (26:34):
And Rob McKnight, who we know obviously is a television
and film commentator but certainly been working in the industry
for decades, joining us in the next twenty minutes with
I guess a first hand insight into what the one
hundred percent international movie making tariff that Donald Trump announced
yesterday will have on the Australian film industry, affecting Australia

(26:57):
almost as much as anywhere else on the planet. No
one saw it coming, and so we'll catch up with
rob in the next twenty ten thousand dollars with Alphabucks
is just over one hour away. Laboo Boo fever doesn't
sound like something that I want, but people seem to.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
It is taking over Australia, it's taking over the world
at the moment. So a La Boo boo doll. You
may have seen them on your social media. You may
have seen them out clipped to handbags. If you think
it's I reckon, it's the in know how. Back when
we were kids, those those Teddy Bears, the collector's item
Teddy Bears were a whole thing.

Speaker 4 (27:34):
Oh the bears Beanni Bears.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
So this is the new Beanie Bear of today. So
it's this little doll that has like a crazy smile
and sharp teeth and it's pretty cute. The reason it's
so popular ised because Lisa from Black Pink had it
clipped onto her bag last year.

Speaker 4 (27:51):
I know the bag and the doll.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
I know, yeah, I know, the yeah, yeah, the do
How do you know that so quickly we big fan
like Pink Ques. Well, this little plush toy just started
to build momentum since then, and now a year later
it is going bananas to the point where they have
these stores in Sydney and Melbourne and they're selling out
because they're so popular. People were lining up on Pitt

(28:16):
Street in Sydney from three am to get their hands
on one of these la Booboo dolls and as dock kids,
it is full grown adults who want to clip them
to their handbag.

Speaker 4 (28:27):
They've been around for years. We just haven't had them
in Australia. But those pop marts or whatever that store is,
there's a few of them in Sydney.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
I think there's oh, there's like twenty or twenty around
Australia now eleven sorry, eleven PopMart stores Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne.
They draw huge crowds of people trying to get one
of these plushy years the great stores three am to
get your hands on a little dolly.

Speaker 4 (28:53):
Yeah, ugly cute to think, you know. Generationally, there's always
been a thing, the Beanie Bears. They were just cute.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
But I had an ALF doll when I was thinking
Alf the Alien, and I slept with him every night,
so I get it.

Speaker 4 (29:08):
Yeah, well he was a TV star, that's true. But
but he wasn't that Cats. That's not cats. That was true. Yeah,
they really normalized that in ALF. I mean, no one
approved of it. Everyone was. It was frowned upon. No
one liked Alf doing it, but certainly a lot of
jokes about it. Yeah, I remember we. I just can't

(29:30):
remember the names of them, but I remember absolutely we,
my brother and I. They was a ball and I
had a face on it. Grotesque but just so popular,
you know, and so these But this is.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
Not even kids that are into it though, adults that
are into the laboo. I'm sure kids love them too, Yeah,
but adults are using them as a real fashion statement. Yeah,
which is so interesting.

Speaker 4 (29:48):
What's the service that you pay for people to go
an air task at people are air tasking, they're paying
it's a air tasker, are charging one hundred bucks me
to go and wait in the queue to get these
laboo boo dots.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
But I would do it.

Speaker 4 (30:02):
Yeah, you saved yourself two hundred bucks from buying it
on eBay straight away. So deal. We learned twenty four
hours ago, after waking up to the news that Donald
Trump had been throwing crazy tariffs around again, that we've
been stung one hundred percent as far as ours and
the rest of the world's international movie making is concerned.

(30:24):
He wants it all to go back to Hollywood. We're
joined by Australian television producer and commentator Rob Mcknightkay, Rob.

Speaker 5 (30:33):
How am I good morning? Seen? How are we look?

Speaker 4 (30:36):
We're well, However, we're learning very quickly today. We knew
that a Marvel film might have been shot there. We
know that a couple of streets from Canberra are in
the current matrix. However, how much is this going to
cost the Australian film industry, your industry?

Speaker 5 (30:53):
Well, it's going to cause chaos. But how much it
will cost is a really interesting question because no one
can work out how the tariffs will actually work. When
you import steel into America to make a car or
any or put you know, do buildings, you have a
physical product. But Hollywood owned these films. They just make

(31:14):
them overseas, but there's no tangible product except for the
film or the digital you know, the digital prints basically,
so what are you actually putting this tariff on? But
it is causing disruption throughout the world because the problem
what's going on here is it's very expensive to shoot
in Hollywood. There are very few, if any, tax incentives

(31:35):
in California, whereas places like Australia. We've got Screen Australia,
Queensland funding Victoria. You know, at the end of credits
of TV shows and films you might suddenly see screen
News South Wales pop up and you're like, well, hang on, okay,
well you know, and it's as you know, Hollywood TV shirts.
That's because if they shoot here, not only do they

(31:57):
get tax incentives, but they get some funding as well.

Speaker 12 (32:00):
Well.

Speaker 5 (32:00):
Vancouver in Canada is another one. There's also tax incentives
in the UK, so production has left. What Trump is
trying to do here is get production back to Hollywood.
But even you know, even if somehow he can make
these tariffs work, which the White House has already backed
down on or walked back on, I should say not

(32:20):
back down, they it's still very expensive to shoot in Hollywood.
So without tax incentives to make production cheaper, because think
about it. If you've ever gone to America, how much
more expensive is everything because the Aussie dollar is so weak.
So when they come here, as far as a Hollywood production,
well they get more bang for their buck.

Speaker 4 (32:43):
That's a stunning point because I guess it comes down
to maths and the production studios may actually just wear
the tariff. And yet still, in spite of the President's
desire to have production, you know, return to Hollywood, still
be better off producing here. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (33:00):
Well, I live up on the Gold Coast and there
is a conference happening over the next few days called
Screen Forever, and it's where it producers from all around
the world and Australia all come together and people who
work in film and television. And obviously this started yesterday
and everyone is still absorbing the news about these tariffs.
But Trump is having such an impact. There's actually a

(33:22):
session today called Trump versus the Global Film Community. And
you know this was before the tariffs, who were renowned
so they knew he was having an impact on everything.
But obviously as you talk to people, you're and producers,
the people who make these films and TV shows, the
people who bring people out here and get investment into

(33:43):
the Australian economy. They are really really worried about this.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
So for people who aren't aware, what are some of
the blockbusters that have filmed in Australia previously that we
would know that potentially will be affected.

Speaker 5 (33:58):
Oh look, it's everything. I mean, remember quite famously The
Matrix was shot around Sydney. There is so much production
happening on the Gold Coast. Owen Wilson is on the
Gold Coast at the moment shooting an upcoming film, you.

Speaker 4 (34:12):
Know, lots.

Speaker 5 (34:13):
I mean, we're talking Marvel blockbusters. There is so much.
And here's the thing. There are so many films shot
here in Australia that you wouldn't know were shot in
Australia because they're not set in Australia. You know, they
might be set in far off worlds, or even set
in America or anything like that, and they use Australia
as the location. You know, Elvis was famously shot here

(34:36):
a few years ago. But these are big American films
and there's a lot of people he relying on it.
Trump doesn't care if Australians relying on the work, obviously,
he just wants to make America great again. But Hollywood
is in a spin itself. It's not just people in
Australia because their whole funding models. And if tariffs did

(34:57):
kick in, is it for films that have already been produced?
Is it films in production? When would these kick in?
But I come back to my original point, how do
you actually implement these parents?

Speaker 2 (35:08):
There's a lot of questions, there's a lot of confusion.
But there were rumors that the next White Lotus might
have been filming here in Australia, in Queensland. You reckon
that might change now because of all this confusion.

Speaker 5 (35:21):
Very very possible. I mean, the White LOADUS though you
can't really shoot that in America age you know that
kind of maybe, yeah, exactly. But the late night TV
hosts of all said, have been making fun of it.
And I'm going to stay the wrong hotel here because
I only saw the headline this morning. But some of

(35:44):
like Stephen Cobb there said, the white LOADUS becomes the
budget in America.

Speaker 4 (35:51):
That's a very good point. I do love when they set,
you know, one of these Hollywood films on another planet
or something desolate, and then you see a gum tree
and you golearly to.

Speaker 5 (36:01):
Us shot, Hey, Hey, other planets could.

Speaker 4 (36:04):
Have gum Tree. That's right, that's right. Rob. We can
see all your stuff across all the platforms TV, black Box.
You do an amazing job and we appreciate the time
this morning. Look forward to chatting again.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
Rod and Gabby versus the.

Speaker 4 (36:20):
World pistachio chocolate that we were reviewing the other day.
Now we were reviewing it remotely because it's only been
available in the UAE.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
However, they did have it at the Sydney Show. It
must have been a rip off. They had to buy
chocolate at the Sydney Show. There was a stall, there
was a light up out the Marquee.

Speaker 6 (36:37):
Like crumble in Bondai.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
Maybe this is.

Speaker 4 (36:40):
The incredible thing. They are accues wherever you can get
it around the world. It's blown up thanks to TikTok,
so you know, no pressure. But you're bringing it to Australian.

Speaker 6 (36:52):
Well, not the exact to buy chocolate, but Linked is
doing a spin off.

Speaker 4 (36:57):
We'll take it, will we.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
I've seen it. Chocolate's not thick enough, you know how
in the Dubai chocolate you look at the people eating
it and the reviews and whatever. That's that really thick
chocolate with a thick, filling lint have gone for their
typical thin layer of chocolate with Filling's.

Speaker 4 (37:17):
The thing that our nan used to have on the
side of a cap of tea, which was one of
those the mint slides. It wasn't even the min slice
after dinner mint way for thin though. Sure, but I mean.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
You know, but you need more than that. When you're
doing Dubai chocolate with the pistachio.

Speaker 4 (37:33):
We assume we we you know, based on but if
we're going to emulate you know, our mates who are
doing this overseas, we need the thick one. So sorry, Darcy,
I preemptively gave you one of those, but you actually get.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
Maybe if you get two blocks of the lint and
like parlorm on top of each other.

Speaker 4 (37:50):
You are a problem solver.

Speaker 3 (37:52):
That's good.

Speaker 4 (37:56):
We were watching the Formula One on Monday morning because
the Mary and Timement just worked out that they were
running it in the afternoon. That was when we woke
up in Australia. And while we were watching the Young
Ossie Bloke Mickdowan's young fellow Jack Doin Dylan Jake Dylan.
There was some confusion, but he crashed his car and
I said, that's the end of his Formula one career.
Darcy said, take it easy, man, it's over the top.

(38:18):
And here we are getting confirmation this morning he has
just lost his drive. However, Oscar Piastri, the other Australian,
won the thing, and we were distracted by all the
dramatic zoom ins, by the coverage into his what we
assumed was his girlfriend. We thought it must be a
new girlfriend because there seems to be a lot of
attention around her. And so I've learned her name is

(38:41):
Lily Zneima. She is a British girl. They met at
boarding school because for him to succeed in this insane
pursuit at such a young age, when he was fifteen,
he moved to boarding school in the UK so we
could race against the other European drivers. Worked out well

(39:01):
and with all the success and the millions of dollars
and leading the world championship and the whole thing, childhood
sweethearts staying together. That's lovely, beautiful story.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
I love that story.

Speaker 4 (39:10):
Yeah, so that's the answer the question.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
And Prince William they met a body school.

Speaker 4 (39:16):
Yeah, let's hope it goes more smoothly than that.

Speaker 2 (39:19):
Happily ever after.

Speaker 4 (39:21):
Yes, let's hope that also happens. I thinking will at
this stage, I think it was a good lesson because
that said the childhood romance, you know what I mean,
like the childhood sweetheart thing. It's it's great on paper,
but I wonder what the strike rate of success is
because you get to middle age and go, oh did
I miss out? William and Wild, well, you know there's

(39:47):
that's the thing. And William and Megan said let's I
don't know if they said, let's take a figure that out.
He said, I'm off to someone, so my wild get
out of here. Don't bother coming back. But he did.
It all worked out anyway.

Speaker 2 (40:01):
But sometimes that's a recipe for success. You go out,
you see what's in the world, and then you go, no,
I had I had it good. And if they are
still willing, yes, it can work out very well.

Speaker 4 (40:12):
Yes, if you really love something, set it free and
it will come back if it loves you.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
If it loves you to come back, that's true come back.

Speaker 4 (40:23):
We're paying attention twenty four hours ago to the met Gala,
as everyone now abouts was beginning to arrive on the
red carpet, did you see Wednesday Adams General Tager's outfit.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
Yeah, did you notice what it was because it was
really stunning. It was like a metallic silver number and
it's all measuring tapes. What are rulers?

Speaker 4 (40:42):
What a day for office supplies place?

Speaker 2 (40:44):
Well, you know where the theme was. It was tailored
to you, and so what's more tailoring than rulers?

Speaker 4 (40:51):
Yeah, but if you've ever too, the metal ruler is
the great thing about it is that it's very difficult
to bend, and so they've done an amazing job in
fashioning the metal ruler, particularly to go around her waist.

Speaker 2 (41:04):
Yeah, and it's like hinged and everything as well, so
that she can walk. Otherwise her legs would have been
absolutely held down.

Speaker 4 (41:11):
It looks tortuously uncomfortable, and it did require three people
gathered around her to help her get up the stairs.
So when you say it allowed her to walk, I
think you're being generous. But the price of fashion, they say,
And there is.

Speaker 2 (41:24):
A price of fashion, especially when it comes to the
met gala, because it's it's not your typical red. It's
like a dress up party. There's always a theme. The
more outlandish outfit the better. The worst dressed are always
the ones that don't go crazy, like they dress nicely,
like you would add a normal red carpet, and that's
always the worst dress list. But there are actually some

(41:46):
things that are band at the met Gala when it
comes to the menu. So we know that Anna Wintour
organizes is she was the Vogue editor for a very
long time, very very famous woman. She Devil wes Prator
was based around her. Yeah, and so she organizes this
every year, and she always has very specific instructions for

(42:07):
the caterers because they all go in and have a
dinner after the red carpet. It's not just a red.

Speaker 4 (42:12):
Carpet if you're dressed in metal rulers. We don't indulge
in much.

Speaker 2 (42:18):
A lot of the stars because the outfits are so crazy.
A lot of them will actually change as soon as
they get through the doors into something more comfortable for
the sit down part of the evening, so that you
could physically sit and not be stabbed by some.

Speaker 4 (42:31):
Metal rulers and exhale.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
But you'll notice that the vans that take them to
the gala from the motel are stand up vans, like
they've got a pole in the middle so that they
can actually stand up and not sit down on the
way of course. So yeah, they've thought of everything, including
the bann foods on the list for the menu.

Speaker 4 (42:51):
Let's see if we want to apply this to our
everyday life. The band foods lists from the met Garla garlic.
I understand that, I love it, but it's one in Orleans.
You know what do you mean?

Speaker 2 (43:03):
If you want to eat garlic, then go for it.
Not offended by garlic breath? I love garlic, time will tell, Okay,
come on onion for a similar reason. Brushetta weird one.

Speaker 4 (43:17):
Ah, it's a recipe for the for the basil to
be in your teeth.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
Well, and that's why Parsley is also banned.

Speaker 4 (43:23):
Well, Parsley should be banned, just full stop. Sorry to
the Parsley manufacturers. Listen.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
Listen to what guardy you don't eat it?

Speaker 4 (43:29):
Listen to this. That's me biting air. Now. I've got
some Parsley. I'm gonna I'm gonna bite it now as well.
They both taste the same. Why are you there, Parsley?
Why are you there? Were you not at the gal?
That's it? Okay. I don't think our diets are going

(43:53):
to be too compromised by these.

Speaker 3 (43:55):
Rules and Gabby versus.

Speaker 4 (43:57):
The world Darcy. First things first, the Nick Hiios show
is coming to Canberra, which sounds confusing as it lives here. However,
it's coming here. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (44:10):
Well, he's touring to the Cammebra Theater on November ten
for his podcast Good Trouble, and he's doing a worldwide tour.
But yes, he's made Camera a special stop.

Speaker 2 (44:20):
I love this because it's only the capitals excluding Melbourne
and Perth of Australia that he's going to. But of
course he has to come to Canberra being his hometown.

Speaker 4 (44:28):
He doesn't have to come here.

Speaker 6 (44:29):
Yeah, he's coming here.

Speaker 4 (44:31):
You know he's here.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
I know he's I know what you mean. But like
so many people skip Camebra when they're doing dates. So
he's like, I want to sleep in my own bed
for one night, so I'll do a Canberra gig.

Speaker 4 (44:40):
I think this is why we're pumping it up a
bit begun. He's coming here, guys. We don't get enough
of this. It's like it would be pro longer for
him to do this show than it is to go
and help with the shopping by going down the woolies
in the Lime Green Tesla.

Speaker 2 (44:55):
That's true.

Speaker 4 (44:55):
The Nikuria show is here with some regularity. However, guess
the real question is who will his guests be.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
Well, that's the thing because his podcast Good Trouble is
all about him talking to big change makers that you know,
people that push boundaries, and he interviews and he had
Matthew McConaughey on. He's also had a little snippet here
when he was chatting to Pierce Morgan.

Speaker 4 (45:19):
I called controversial by you is really great. That's saying
a lot. That's saying a lot. I like being at
the center of controversy. I like being at the center
of debate. I like putting my head over the para bit,
saying what I think and being challenged about it. I'm
probably the least person in my family. We are the
most misunderstood members of I'm into the vibes. I liken
the curious as music that's playing when I get to

(45:41):
the camp theater.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
I think that was just for the snippet. I don't
think he plays that through the whole thing. But for
all of his shows, he is going to have a
big special guest is going to be a surprise guest
on stage with him. To have these conversations. He's doing
one in the UK, so it could be Pierce Morgan
in the UK doing one of the states. Could be
Matthew mcgonaugh.

Speaker 4 (45:57):
Hay there.

Speaker 2 (45:58):
But who is he going to have in Camra?

Speaker 4 (46:00):
If it's Ricky Stewart, this does not count. You can't
and we love rick but he's from here. His guest
cannot be another?

Speaker 6 (46:09):
Can bearn When's Ricky Martin touring?

Speaker 4 (46:12):
Now?

Speaker 2 (46:14):
Darcy's thinking got camera the tenth of November. Let's see
if there's anyone.

Speaker 4 (46:18):
Touring around the tenth of November.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
That's too early for spilt milk. So it's not Kendrick
or don't you who is it? Who could it be
Lady Gargat now she's December. I don't think he's going
for a big pop star. We could.

Speaker 6 (46:35):
Anthony yeap Ricky Martin eighth of November.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
That I would be there for that chat. That an
interesting thing, right.

Speaker 4 (46:47):
I mean, just terrify then the camera fet is like
you're on fine, perpetuate that all you like, just to clarify.
We made that. However, we haven't had it refuted yet,
which would be pretty quick. Came up with it about
fifteen seconds ago, all right, thinking, hats on, We'll see
if Nick wants to come on, and we'll he might
drop some clues.

Speaker 2 (47:07):
We've been trying to get nyone for years, but he's
something to promote.

Speaker 12 (47:10):
Now.

Speaker 4 (47:10):
Nick came on when he was very young and then
he's been busy, and I absolutely get that.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
And then if we've read he lives here.

Speaker 4 (47:18):
If we're very honest, I know, I know, But if
we're very honest, the time that our last producer got
drunk and approached him, we don't really know where who I.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
Am out front of his heads. That's what we're ENVISIONI.

Speaker 4 (47:34):
Well, I don't know how much of the actual story
we got, but we do know that he hasn't come
on since, so no one mentioned any of that. And
if he comes on, hey, if you see him down
the street, go hey, is Ricky Martin coming on the
podcast show at the theater? And then you can tell
us he can tell us, you can tell us us
about it all right. In just a second, Pete Murray,

(47:57):
he's coming to camp with Pete Murray. No, that's going
to be that's about six or seven weeks away.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
Pet But he's in Creambiat in October.

Speaker 4 (48:05):
Pete Murray alight and we'll ask him some stuff to
you who we're looking forward to coming to town and
it's not far away. Hey, this has crept up on
us really fast. It's like only a month and a
half away, so you better get your tickets Canberra Theater.
Pete Murray's coming and he's going to keep touring before
he does a look to look, this too is so big.
He'll head off for a little bit longer and come

(48:26):
back and play the queue.

Speaker 2 (48:27):
Yeah, in September. In September we get double Pete.

Speaker 4 (48:30):
Pete's on the line. Get I Pete.

Speaker 12 (48:31):
How are you MATEO morning guys, Yeah, how are you good?

Speaker 4 (48:34):
Welcome back to Australia. How did New Zealand go?

Speaker 12 (48:36):
Oh's great? Yeah, really good? And I've been over there,
well I haven't done my own shows for twenty years,
almost twenty years now. I went back and did a
festival there like last year I think it was, which
is great, but yeah, my own shows has been like
twenty eight since I've been back there, so it was
really it was amazing. You know, this singing line was incredible,
like Australia and good vibe, so you know, looking forward
to just getting back there again a bit more off now,

(48:58):
great spot in the country.

Speaker 4 (49:00):
All and a colm is it's a consideration when you've
got sixty stops and you take care of yourself. I
assume you go to the gym, you know, as part
of a regular routine. What is that like? And how
dodgy are some of these gyms that you find?

Speaker 12 (49:17):
Yeah, and then there's not much stuff in there, so
you've got to kind of make up different exercises to
keep you know, even if there's no way to eastern
the hotel and doing different things like sit up, push up,
some lunges, whatever you can do. You know, grab the
grab a door and do some chinups on a door
and whatever you got. You just got to work with it.
So as long as you're getting heart rate up for
half an hour or so, and you know, it makes
you feel a lot better on you go in too.

(49:38):
If you're doing nothing, it's pretty difficult.

Speaker 4 (49:40):
You're a sensible focus bloke. But I like the idea
of the prospective headlines Pete Murray Trash's hotel room. When
that door you're doing chin ups on comes crashing down.

Speaker 12 (49:49):
Yeah, See, Luckily that that hasn't happened yet.

Speaker 4 (49:52):
But yeah, put the mas on you.

Speaker 12 (49:54):
Interesting story, that's right.

Speaker 2 (49:56):
You were on the cover of Men's Health two years
ago and you said that is like the best shape
of your life at fifty three years of age. Have
you been able to maintain that or is that something
that's just not maintainable. That was like a goal and
then you've just kept as much up as you can.

Speaker 12 (50:11):
Yeah, I kind of kept fairly close to that. I mean,
it's all in your diet really and obviously exercise too,
but to get to that level that's really focused on
your diet cutting out all carbs and sugars and gets
a bit bland after while you're on it's sort of
keeping that for the rest of your rest of your life,
you know. And if you like to have I mean,
you know, we'll got taste buds. You want to have

(50:32):
something nice, So that kind of pretty bland. For like
twelve weeks. I did that thing and it was and
it's good. At the end, you just shredded, you know,
but it's something that you can't wait to you know,
the whole time, it's pretty much craving, like and I
never craved this stuff, but I was craving like ice
creams and mars bars, you know, and you just you
it's hard because you just cut at all your sugars

(50:52):
and suddenly just you've sort of craving it.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
That would be the worst on the road too, because
you're just at servos every day.

Speaker 4 (50:58):
That's that's the danger for working out. I mean, that's
exactly right.

Speaker 12 (51:03):
The diet, Yeah, yeah, exactly so. And that's the thing
I sort of do look after myself eating with what
I that diets are the biggest thing really that he
goes diick to it, then you can keep yourself in
chat pretty well.

Speaker 2 (51:13):
You take your dog on tour a little bit. Is
he going to be on tour for the entire time
of these fifty stops?

Speaker 12 (51:18):
Ruby? She the girl, Sorry, she's she's she'll be at home.
You can hear her. She's sitting beside me snoring at
the moment. So she's just going to be, you know,
guard dog around here while you know.

Speaker 4 (51:28):
You see those videos when you know our servicemen and
women come back from serving overseas and the dog doesn't
recognize them. After after sixty stops, mate, you'll get home
and Ruby will be looking twice and is this bloke.

Speaker 12 (51:41):
Well, I think she's probably more peeved mate that you're
not home. You know, she knows who you are, but
she's just brushing it.

Speaker 4 (51:47):
That's a good point. Where have you been? That's true.

Speaker 12 (51:49):
It's lots lots of pats, lots of paths to get
her back in the good books.

Speaker 4 (51:52):
You're home in bar and Bay after the New Zealand tour.
But you're a country Queensland kid from a little town
called chin And we had a quick word before the
interview started off air, and and Gabby said, oh, that
the home of the Chinchilla melon Fest? Is that what
it is? Gay?

Speaker 2 (52:10):
It's a chinchilla watermelon fest. It's very specifically watermelons. But
I missed that bit when I mentioned it earlier. There's
so much fun. They do watermelon skiing, so you put
your feet in watermelons and then they pull you along
with a rope along like a slippery tarp. It's good fun.

Speaker 4 (52:24):
Is this a new thing? Pete? Was this there when
you were a bit?

Speaker 12 (52:27):
I've sort of moved out of town, but they've they've brought
us back in. How long ago? We've been going for
a long time and I've never been to one. They've
talked about getting out there to play it one, but
for some reason I couldn't do it. The other city
got before. I was always kind of wondering, do they
have a miss Melons? And if they do have a
miss melon is that kind of a bit risky?

Speaker 4 (52:49):
There should always be an ambassador for these sorts of events.
And never asked me, Well, Dabby, I'd I think that's
that's opportunity missed on their part. Well, we we we
have young nearby, and of course that's we have the
Cherry Queen. Absolutely aways always crowned each year for the
Cherry Festival. We're very pleased Camber Theater Center. Get your

(53:11):
tickets now because they are selling very fast and they
certainly won't be around by Sunday, July twenty, which is
when you're here. Mate. I wasn't in front of that
crowd for the Anzac Day Clash a couple of weeks ago.
There the dons and the pies. That would have been
something else.

Speaker 12 (53:25):
Yeah, it's good, but we're just sort of playing in
that venue. It's such a big venue in so much
space in the center. It's like it's enormous. You know.
When we have to have innis when you're playing because
if you don't having you kind of honors because you
get this bounce off the back off the round think so,
so it's like an echo that you hear for yourself.
It's kind of very strange but amazing being part of

(53:46):
that game. And it's AFL history, isn't it that one
that ans Ac Day game?

Speaker 4 (53:50):
Oh you're not wrong, you're not wrong. You're part of
history that day. That was cool, all right, Really appreciate
the time. We look forward to seeing you here and
we'll catch up before the que as well, So that'll
be really good. Travel safe when you're out there. Give
the dog a pat and we'll chat soon.

Speaker 3 (54:05):
Rod and Gabby versus the world.

Speaker 4 (54:07):
Thank you. Darcy. Still in the newsroom and I go,
I know, going to do an interview in just a moment,
so he'll skid out all which means, Gabby, you and
I get to stray from the rundown.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
So because he normally keeps us in line, yes.

Speaker 4 (54:22):
His news does And in the schedule is that the
libs are back. And so it's a story about one
of the independents down in Melbourne celebrating hard, hard on
the TV and.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
Then crying, cheering, dancing, and.

Speaker 4 (54:40):
The whole room, blowing up all the teals just doing
doing a dancing gym, and then and then over the
next forty eight hours, the liberal bloke just reeling the
candidate in the teal and winning today. So that's a story.
Or we could go with mister Beast has just posted

(55:02):
this on his socials. He wears my mouse. There is
mister Beast as just posted need one hundred men to
test this any volunteers, and it's mister Beast with a
gorilla one hundred men versus a gorilla challenge. He loves

(55:23):
a challenge.

Speaker 2 (55:24):
You can't do that. He's doing it, and it worries
me because he could get that happening because he does
those Beast games where he does get of competitives.

Speaker 4 (55:35):
If you beat the gorilla, you get a million bucks.

Speaker 2 (55:37):
He would actually make it happen, and so it really
worries me because it could be a.

Speaker 4 (55:41):
Joke, but it could be for have you seen the
one hundred men versus a gorilla?

Speaker 1 (55:47):
No?

Speaker 4 (55:48):
Oh, what is it, blond art. Everyone's asking who would win,
and of course no one knows because no one's prepared
to do it.

Speaker 2 (55:54):
Oh, the men would win if we had tools and weapons.

Speaker 4 (55:57):
No, no, no, it's just it's hand hand. And so I
saw yesterday someone went and did at the training facility
for the Mixed Martial Artists in Las Vegas in the UFC,
and they all were like, no, what are you talking about?
I mean, it's a gorilla. It's insane, except for one
guy took his shirt off and started then explaining how

(56:18):
he takes the gorilla down. It's always one. And so
that's terrifying if you're facing that guy, because he thinks
he can actually fight a gorilla. And then there's a
meme that started blowing up today that has I don't
know how they've got this footage of a gorilla. See
is what happened to Darcy, isn't he?

Speaker 2 (56:36):
I don't know how.

Speaker 4 (56:41):
I don't know how they got the footage of this gorilla.
He's just eating a vegetable or something, but something must
distract him, you know, wherever they're filming this, and he
stops eating and then does the side eye where he
looks to the side, which is what we all do
when something happens, you know. But then they take the gorilla, obviously,
and they put him in a meme, and so now

(57:02):
the gorilla is in the crowd at the wrestling and
the caption reads, when the gorilla defeated ninety nine humans
and they send out one man and then they've got
the countdown for the Royal Rumble next to the gorilla,
and that's.

Speaker 2 (57:21):
The guy that said he could be Is it that guy?

Speaker 4 (57:24):
No? But it's people do think that brock Lesnon. He's
the wrestling champion like a million times, and then he's
the only person in history because the wrestling obviously it's
not real. It's not real, and so he said, I'll
prove something and he went over to the real fighting,
and then he beat everyone and became the world heavyweight
champion in the real fighting. Hence why they're putting him

(57:47):
next to the gorilla as the only man that might
be able to do it.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
Is it one hundred men at once or one by
one once? Oh well then yeah he As long as
he's in the mix, we're fine.

Speaker 4 (57:59):
Save ninety nine other soles would be my advice. You know,
when you you know when a blister's coming, you know,
are you wearing your shoes new enough? I've hadn't worn
these one very often, and I've got the wrong socks on.

Speaker 2 (58:13):
I can't believe they're black. You don't normally wear black shoes.

Speaker 4 (58:16):
It's got a tartan pink stripe on it.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
Oh, that's that's my life. Come on, there's always something
extra about your shoes.

Speaker 4 (58:22):
Yep, including blisters to.

Speaker 2 (58:25):
Fourteen tartan pink stripe. It's just your ploot.

Speaker 4 (58:32):
Happened to crack at. I mean, I never want to
wear their shoes again, so I'm not really too fast.
It's Rod and Gabby. You you're smart. You forgot to
wear your shoes today. I love that.

Speaker 2 (58:40):
I thought my shoes were in the car. They were not,
So I'm currently wearing.

Speaker 4 (58:44):
Still in the crocs. Great choice, Comfy produce a Chelsea
if you wouldn't mind joining us. This is being brought
to my attention as I guess you a Sultan vinegar?
Do you eat salt Viniga chips?

Speaker 9 (58:57):
I do like Sultan vinegar. It's not my number one
flavor choice, but.

Speaker 4 (59:01):
It's Game's number one. Yeah, it's Gabby's number one.

Speaker 1 (59:04):
I've heard.

Speaker 4 (59:04):
Now, I don't know whether or not you want to
join me in this and wherever you're listening, this is
I'm going I'm going to take one for all of us,
take one for the team because st vinegar the Sultan
Vini's are a fragile beast.

Speaker 2 (59:14):
It's a really fine line.

Speaker 4 (59:16):
Well, I love a red Rock Delli, Sultan Vinni. And
but if you the problem with the red Rock Delli
is there's so For me, texture is a big thing
in addition to flavor, and so I'll just enjoy the texture.
And so you have too big a bag and you
go too long, your tongue can go dead.

Speaker 2 (59:33):
Sultan Vinni. I've never had a problem with red Rock Deli.
But you're right, there is a line where there's like
good amount of flavor and too much flavor. And you
would never think there'd be too much flavor. And I
didn't think so either until I got these this new
Sultan Vinegar treat that I found yesterday. They're called Peckables.
They're buy Peckish. They're like a little rice biscuit, like

(59:54):
a rice cracker, but the size of a shape.

Speaker 4 (59:57):
Peckish do the best rice cracker.

Speaker 2 (01:00:00):
They do. And these ones are like the size of
shape like they're in like a shapes box, so you
can just pick them out and eat them like you
would that. And they're a salt and vinegar rice cake.

Speaker 4 (01:00:08):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:00:09):
I ate one yesterday and I was like, oh my god,
they are not lying when they say on their packet
they are full of flavor, like they are intensely salt
and vinegar. And I got really excited about it. Ten
rice crackers in and my tongue had lost a layer,
like it was burnt down to the second layer of skin.

(01:00:29):
My tongue was in so much pain I couldn't continue
to eat them. And I am a huge SMV fan.

Speaker 4 (01:00:34):
What did you wash? What did you try to heal
your tongue?

Speaker 1 (01:00:37):
Water?

Speaker 4 (01:00:38):
Did you grab some water? Did you have some milk?

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
It was later in the day. I had a bit
of pineapple juice forgetting that my tongue, and then I
burnt up some more ouch pineapple. I forgot one thing
you probably shouldn't do.

Speaker 4 (01:00:52):
I don't know if you've ever seen Rambo Chelsea, but
there's a scene where Sylvester Stallone has been shot and
the bullet is lodged in his side, and so he
gets he sterilizes. You know, he's got a big knife,
bowie knife, bowie knife, a big knife, and so he
sterilizes it by by burning the blade, so the blade's

(01:01:13):
hot and sharp, and then he digs the bullet out.
That's the same as drinking pineapple juice after burning the
top layer of your tongue off with sualten vinegar chips.

Speaker 2 (01:01:25):
I've got the Sultan vinegar chips here for you, though.
The little ice crackers, I want you to I want
you to test and see if they have crossed the
line of too much flavor.

Speaker 4 (01:01:32):
Okay, because I do this is obviously it's an open pack.
It's a pack you've just described to us, and they're
from what I can see, they're all in there, so
you really did only have ten hit the wall.

Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
Normally I can't stop once I'm opened. To have a
strong smell. No, no, interesting, that's interesting, weird.

Speaker 4 (01:01:50):
They have no smell.

Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
That is weight.

Speaker 4 (01:01:54):
Coming to hand it over to you, can you describe
the smell, if if any at all.

Speaker 2 (01:01:59):
It's not.

Speaker 9 (01:02:00):
It's not intense at all, like you're gonna have to
stick you know, it's halfway down that packet to.

Speaker 4 (01:02:04):
Be able to smell some All Right, here we go.
I'm excited for the one out of one mm hmmm.

Speaker 2 (01:02:11):
Strong flavor, right like it's good, burst, solid, party bad.
You're like, this is nice, that is good?

Speaker 4 (01:02:18):
That is good and the peckish with their you know
the crackers they do. It's the same kind of texture. Yeah,
they're round like.

Speaker 2 (01:02:27):
Yeah, there's like mini rice crackers. If you were to
buy the long packet of rice crackers. These are the
mini version in a box. But I've never had a
problem with the packet ones.

Speaker 4 (01:02:37):
So there's two. We're fine. I'm going to jam five.

Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
We're doing five at a time.

Speaker 1 (01:02:40):
Here we go.

Speaker 2 (01:02:40):
Oh my god, that's a lot.

Speaker 9 (01:02:41):
That's pretty much what had Gabby over the edge.

Speaker 2 (01:02:43):
I was doing one at a time though, So Matt,
how you fearing you must have a strong tongue. The
skin on your tongue is nice and calouston weathered.

Speaker 9 (01:02:55):
He won't be able to speak after this day takes
the time.

Speaker 4 (01:02:58):
It's not the compliment that you think give you.

Speaker 2 (01:03:02):
You're really still going. That was another five. If you
you're at my point of no return? Are you feeling anything,
any discomfort, any tingle, any pain?

Speaker 4 (01:03:14):
Yes, you're there. No, I'm feeling the discomfort of having
salt mining at anything without beer. It's not good.
