Speaker 1 (00:00):
They came bounding over.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
A procedure. This is Roden Gabby versus the World.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
The top five texting rules according to Generation z.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
So, a millennial wrote this about the mistakes that the
older generations are making when communicating with.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
Gen z or I'm here for self improvement.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Yeah, well I don't know if it's self improvement because
to one another. We can still message this way. We
just need to maybe be aware of what we're coming across.
As to the younger ones when we are messaging them.
I'm taking this into account when we text producer Chelsea.
Such a good point because otherwise we could be seen
as very uncool, potentially threatening.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Oh you do you? Do you feel threatened?
Speaker 5 (00:59):
No? I haven't yet.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Yes, yes, that was a pensive.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I was trying to.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Think of the way that you text me, But no,
nothing's come off that way.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Yes, okay, good start. Let's see what are we doing
wrong here?
Speaker 2 (01:11):
All right? So number one loll is over. So you
text a message saying that's funny, loll I you never LOLd.
I love a loll sarcastic.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Yeah, okay, you be ironic.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
You're allowed to use loll, but it's not actually a laugh. Anymore.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
If it's sarcastic.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
If you drop a skull, that means it's funny. That's dead,
like so funny, so funny, I'm dead. No, yes, skulls
a new one.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I see that skull getting around. It means it's funny.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Now yeah, yeah, I would see that's threatening someone's miscommunication.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
So funny, I've died laughing I'm dead. Oh, I'm sculling
it up now. Number three, don't say I'm sculling it
up now, they're going to stop using.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
You really do right. Number two. Capital letters equal aggression.
But I'm not talking capital letters. Z in everything in caps,
just any caps. So if you're putting a cap at
the start of a word, aggressive, so you need everything
in lower case because that's the vibe.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
I do love writing a lower case in text messages though,
but work wise I'm always in caps because.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Of the English language.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
Rules.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
The full stop is a declaration of war. So we
think it's a polite way to finish a sentence. Gen
zs think it's cold and abrupt.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
You never send a dot unless you're mad.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Well, we must be mad all the time. Punctuation and
grammar I means you're mad.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
If a full stop, or, in the words of gen Z,
a dot is like aggressive, an exclamation, dropping the bomb.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
The emojis that have been canceled, So the the laughing
face is dead. It's deeply uncool. It's like you're saying
that's groovy, Like that's how cool it is what it is, gvy.
The smiling face with sunglasses is Dad at a barbecue.
The winking face gone, the tongue out winks straight to jail.
Even the regular smiling face means serial killer energy and
(03:20):
a thumbs up, it means rotten hell.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Okay, listen, I was here for self improvement, and I've
learned that the smiling face.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Anything happy or like passive, is threatening. And anything threatening
is happy to get it.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Okay, So what okay, So produce Chelsea, send you the
skull You're like, everything's cool lowercase nope, full stop, everything's
all right. What if I send that purple devil looking
angry with the frownie.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Face, Well, that has like a like a smile, like
a smirk on it, So that means like you're up
to no good.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Doesn't that mean you horny?
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Okay, no one's saying that. No one's saying.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Rod and Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
This is a real thrill for me as a kid
growing up watching the greats Leap and Leroy Logins, Andrew Gays,
Warwick Giddy and the icon Cal Bruton. To have him
walking through the door. What an honor to have you here, sir, gooday.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Goody, good day. Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
You know, when we think about the great coaches in
Canberra history, there's Ricky Stewart and there's Cal Bruton.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Do people still call you coach down the street?
Speaker 6 (04:26):
Yeah? They do, they they do.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I guess a lot of the young kids still do
because I'm still involved in the game coaching at the
younger level to my foundation, the Bruton Basketball Foundation, so
we coach thousands and thousands of kids all year.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Do they even know you're an NBL Hall of Fame,
a two time NBL champion, You've traveled the world playing
the game and you call this place home.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Did they know that? Or they just respect you because
you're the coach?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I think it's a little bit of both. Someone do
their homework, they're coming coach. I just googled you.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
I didn't know, so that's a pleasure always.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
But the younger generation is different you know, so you
have to sometimes put your foot down and get your potocross.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
I can't imagine is there much.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Footage of you playing online? I wasn't able to track
much down because back in the day, like they weren't
filming back then.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Well, we did have our own television shows back then.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yeah, they video all the games and but the NBL
has decided that I shouldn't say that started from twenty sixteen. Yeah,
I mean they do have, Yeah, the rebrand, the rebrand,
but at the end of the day, you know, some
of the old footage dude pop up every now and then,
and they they showed a feature of me, you throwing
(05:39):
the pass between my legs.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
Oh, I wouldn't try that now.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
You're not coaching that. But I mean it was that
sort of creativity that captured the attention of Australians and
his kids. We'd watch Steve Carfino's show, you know, and
you guys, you know, were in the highlights reel and
highlight reels and the whole thing.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
Any kid you go, now, six, yeah, how many grandkids? Five?
Must starting five?
Speaker 1 (06:04):
How toll is the tallest, six foot five is the grandson,
He's the tallest, the others are tall for their size.
My two younger sons are Dante in Brooklyn. Dante's eighteen.
He's six foot one, Brooklyn's about five ten.
Speaker 6 (06:21):
They're playing, yes, they're both in the NBL one finals
this weekend as well.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
They're playing against each other, right.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, well hopefully on Saturday. Yeah, they'll play against each
other Canber versus Ilawi.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
It's interesting.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
So the white the NBL one works where the gunners.
Obviously we're East, so it's New South Wales and the
ACA T So we won that conference and now we
play the other conferences to see who is the best
of the best.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
Right, that's correct.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Yes, it's a national competition and it's good because there's
a fetus system into the NBL.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
With your kids all playing basketball, how do they feel
about having dad who is an ex star, ex coach?
Are you really hard on them? Do they come to
you for advice or are you just that.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I'm just that, But they they do come occasionally, but
they don't like to hear what I have to say.
But I always try to encourage them. They've they've been
good boys, all my sons. They they love the game,
they teach the game. They spend the hours coaching around
the country. CJ's in China and Elliott just in Tyree,
(07:22):
New South Wales, Austin's in West Australia coaching, and then
I got the two boys here and my daughter she
doesn't play, she's a social worker, Shakira, and I have
a granddaughter and both of them in the workforce doing
really well important jobs.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
Yeah, I think so it's a good excuse for you
to travel.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
You go over to China, you know, you say the
I mean you saw the world playing as a young
bloke yourself. Now with the family, you know, spread around
the country, in the world, is that a good.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Excuse to travel?
Speaker 6 (07:49):
Very good excuse for my car.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I used to sell cars for thirteen years here in
Canberra and my Audi two thousand and nine has four
hundred and twenty five thousand.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
It's quicker to drive, right.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
Sometimes it is.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I'd rather drive again, sit back, listen to my music.
And I've been to I haven't drove to Western Stralia.
I don't think I'm doing that well.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
We've been that way.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
We've been all the way up in can up the Cans,
We've we've been everywhere in that car. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
Seven seaters so we can tuck everyone in nicely.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Not all sixteen, but no talking about the NBA Blitz
starting tomorrow. Every single team is here in Canberra to
play across Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday Sunday, two games a day.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
The A.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yes, it's going to be massy. There's been the campaign
that you have been very involved in since twenty fifteen
to bring back the cannons. Having the NBL Blitz here
in Canberra, how much impact is that going to have
on this campaign to get the cannons back?
Speaker 6 (08:48):
A huge impact, Gabby.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
This is like the best thing that's happened to camera
in a very long time for basketball. Having all ten
teams here, having all the coaches and players and ministrators
and scouts, it's just going to put a spotlight on
camera basketball and hopefully they're bringing here to camera and
it brings back to camera Cannons.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Now you've given us hope, and we've got tremendous hope,
and we're so excited. This is going to be a
fantastic week for the NBL and camera and we haven't
said that for far too many years.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Icon of the Game, I kind of the city. We
really appreciate your time today.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
No, thank you so much. Roy, I really appreciate you
and Gabby and I listened to you guys.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
We are rock You're a gentleman too kind.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
People love the roast shows the Comedy Channel in America,
they do the celebrity roast and I feel uncomfortable watching those,
and then you're forced if you're the person who's being roasted,
to laugh.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Some of them seem to enjoy it, but what for me, No, it.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Often goes a rye and you're they're laughing, but you
know deep down that hurt.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
You know, Yeah, for me, it's a real cringe whenever
there's a roast. But they decided that last night on
the Block that was going to be one of the challenges.
I know how much you love their challenges Rod where
they have to go and do things outside of renovating
the house.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Well, when time is of the essence and you're focused
on a thing the show is built around, I mean,
there's nothing we love more as viewers. They're not that,
you know and doing something completely unrelated and unnecessity like
a roasts. Perfect example, a linger is this in the folder.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
They're in the folder. So they did actually have to
do a roast last night. Each of the teams had
to get up and do a bit, and some of
them were unbelieveably cringey because they're not public speakers. These
guys are really outside of their comfort zone.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Who are they roasting.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
They're roasting one another, maybe some Scottie, maybe some Shelley.
One of the guys decided to roast the audience and
that was a bad idea because then the audiences offside,
so they don't know what they're doing. They're not comedians.
But there was a couple of clips I've got for
you that they did okay. Two of the teams did okay,
So the least of the cringies. We're going to go
(11:05):
to Sonny and Alisha first, so they came in second,
but they did all right, so we'll have a little
listen to them.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Okay, I'm nervous. This is why the producers did it,
because they know that we freak out.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
About Ben and em in house won I've made a
few pole dancers in my time, So she is a
pole dancer, right.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
No, no, no, So they're talking about the pole dancers and
he their husband and wife. So when he said I've
met a few pole answers in my past. His wife
was like, what okay.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Okay, wait wait wait what.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
I'll pay for this later.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Yes, she is not like the others.
Speaker 7 (11:48):
I think I'd give Emma my money and she's so
nice you'd give it back.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
So that's who we spoke to yesterday was Emma the
pole dncer who we said was too nice, way too nice,
and they were reading rating that.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
So it was a bit of a roast.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
But you know, that's a very nice thing to say.
That's a gentle roast, gentle rose.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
I'm happy with a gentle roast.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yeah. So then we go to Robbie and Matt, who
won the roasting competition, and they had a few more
things to say. So they also wanted to talk about
the pole dancer and her partner, and then Sonny and Alicia,
who just were roasting just as second ago.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Trade or she just does the exercise.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
She's like a champion, like a national yeah yeah, yeah.
So she's actually a teacher and she's actually a very
well accomplished woman, but her dancing is phenomenal and she
loves to showcase that. So people are definitely on the
pole dancing bandwagon.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
The strength aerobic gymnasty.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
It's incredible.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
It is incredible.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
So these are the boys who we spoke to last
week from the block. They won the roasting competition. See
if you agree with them taking it.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Out here we are.
Speaker 8 (13:01):
Since we're trade ees, Rob and I have given each
other nicknames, so I call Robbie double O seven zero talent,
zero effort, seven poos a day.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
So they're roasting each other at this point.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
But that's do that great. That said, maybe don't do.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
That, but being across it with each other, So yeah,
don't surprise him.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
I call himunt the sense of light.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
He only works on the cameras on.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Him killing this next one.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I'm not so sure that.
Speaker 8 (13:40):
We went in all gone Shane of blazing. I think
we did good. Emma and Ben this season's beautiful couple.
They look the same with their matching red hair. They're
piercing blue eyes. Just remember, if your relationship doesn't make
it through the show, you'll still always be cousins.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
I mean, if you're going to marry someone that looks
like your brother or sister, you're.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Gonna get it all right. With the final joke that
they on Sonny and Alisha, who have been married for
fourteen years, and they have had a few scuffles where
they've they've been very angry at each other through the
season so far.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
Then we've got Sonny and Leisha from House four. So
Sonny's a plumber, always fixing problems.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
On the site, but for some reason can't fix the
leaks in his relationship. So they really start to get roasty.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Yeah, yeah, they've gone hard there. Where was it?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
There was an audience the Dales for people could actually
buy to or get to because I don't have had
to pay, and the whole theater and balcony were full.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
I was going to say, because the trade's on site
in the car park and everyone gathering around and not
sounding that awesome.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
No, but this audience, don't forget this was filmed before
this hits the TV, so they had never seen these
people or knew anything about them ever in their lives.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
For the people, they just love a last They don't
need to know why. It makes any sense.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Rod and Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
We spoke about giving a good impression when you first
arrive at a workplace, and we all agreed that the
worst thing that could happen would be the police giving
your new workplace a visit. Management's gonna ask questions. Yeah,
you're going to go wrong guy looking for another guy.
But there's going to be talk around the office, yeah,
(15:42):
or the work site. That's the guy, right, it's not
the new guy, that's the guy the cops showed up to.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
That absolutely, that will be how you're known for here
on out right.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
So when former Rooster and I think cowboy Brandon Smith
finally made his way over to the Rabbit, o's turning
a new leaf leaf new workplace and he got to
the Gold Coast Airport about to play footy for the
first time in a long time, and the cops showed up,
we thought, well that's we felt for it.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Ah, no one needs that. And he's starting working at
a new place, so you know, go knock at his door.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Don't do it in a public place with his mates.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
And friends friends, And so understandably the media reached out
to the Queensland Police.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
He said, what's this all about?
Speaker 5 (16:30):
This?
Speaker 4 (16:31):
I was just asking him about some stuff. Stevie knows
a guy.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
He knows a guy that we're interested in.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
Anyway.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
The news overnight NRL star Brandon Smith has been charged
with dangerous drug suppli as well as using inside knowledge
for betting by police in Queensland. Oh no, so he
knows a guy and unfortunately he also is a guy.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Georgia Costi is reporting on it today for Sunrise and.
Speaker 9 (16:57):
Then Smith was stopped and questioned by police at the
Gold Coast.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
Airport two weeks ago.
Speaker 9 (17:03):
He is accused of some really serious offenses. Police will
allege that he supplied dangerous drugs and also provided some
inside knowledge for betting. Now, at this stage there is
still a lot we don't know about the nature of
the accusations against him. However, he was investigated by Task
(17:23):
Force Maxima, which here in Queensland is our police group
that deals with bikis and organized crime.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
No. Now, I was guessing when we were like, well,
who's the guy he could know some of the free
players they seem to like hanging out with the bike Not.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
All Queensland have really really really strict laws around biki games.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Come to camera, mate, we don't have those. I'm not
going to people get fired up. We did guess, we speculated,
and we.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Guessed right now.
Speaker 9 (17:53):
This morning as well, another Sydney and RL club has
been dragged into this.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
It is the Sydney Boosters.
Speaker 9 (18:00):
And that's because player Victor Radley has been unwittingly dragged
into this. His name has appeared in a summons against
Brendan Smith, but at this stage there is no suggestion
he has done anything wrong.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Don't you so hard on that? So now Victor knows
a guy, Victor knows nothing.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Someone just said, oh you know.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
They hung out once.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Yeah, Victor is a good guy who knows. We don't
know Victor.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
And five minutes ago we thought that Brandon just knew
a guy and he wasn't actually involved.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
We had our suspicions about around Brandon. But Victor looks
like a choir boy, and so.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
In my mind does look like a quiet In my mind,
he could be on the court's that he's.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
An innocent bystander. He's he he's you know, he's been
caught up. I don't know any of this, but I
feel you know, when you've got a mate and you
know your mate's trouble, but there your mate, yeah, you.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Know so, and he's like, oh, I just got to
quickly do something. You're like all right, and then you're
there and you're like, oh no, why my.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Hair All of a sudden jumping into the passenger seat
shouting go, go go, and you're like, I was just
waiting for you. Now everything's fine, we just gotta go.
I feel like that's where Victor. I don't know any
of this, but I feel, Hey, we guessed right last time,
I'm guessing right this time.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Find out
They came bounding over.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
A procedure. This is Roden Gabby versus the World.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
The top five texting rules according to Generation z.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
So, a millennial wrote this about the mistakes that the
older generations are making when communicating with.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
Gen z or I'm here for self improvement.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Yeah, well I don't know if it's self improvement because
to one another. We can still message this way. We
just need to maybe be aware of what we're coming across.
As to the younger ones when we are messaging them.
I'm taking this into account when we text producer Chelsea.
Such a good point because otherwise we could be seen
as very uncool, potentially threatening.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Oh you do you? Do you feel threatened?
Speaker 5 (00:59):
No? I haven't yet.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Yes, yes, that was a pensive.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I was trying to.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Think of the way that you text me, But no,
nothing's come off that way.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Yes, okay, good start. Let's see what are we doing
wrong here?
Speaker 2 (01:11):
All right? So number one loll is over. So you
text a message saying that's funny, loll I you never LOLd.
I love a loll sarcastic.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Yeah, okay, you be ironic.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
You're allowed to use loll, but it's not actually a laugh. Anymore.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
If it's sarcastic.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
If you drop a skull, that means it's funny. That's dead,
like so funny, so funny, I'm dead. No, yes, skulls
a new one.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I see that skull getting around. It means it's funny.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Now yeah, yeah, I would see that's threatening someone's miscommunication.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
So funny, I've died laughing I'm dead. Oh, I'm sculling
it up now. Number three, don't say I'm sculling it
up now, they're going to stop using.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
You really do right. Number two. Capital letters equal aggression.
But I'm not talking capital letters. Z in everything in caps,
just any caps. So if you're putting a cap at
the start of a word, aggressive, so you need everything
in lower case because that's the vibe.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
I do love writing a lower case in text messages though,
but work wise I'm always in caps because.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Of the English language.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
Rules.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
The full stop is a declaration of war. So we
think it's a polite way to finish a sentence. Gen
zs think it's cold and abrupt.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
You never send a dot unless you're mad.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Well, we must be mad all the time. Punctuation and
grammar I means you're mad.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
If a full stop, or, in the words of gen Z,
a dot is like aggressive, an exclamation, dropping the bomb.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
The emojis that have been canceled, So the the laughing
face is dead. It's deeply uncool. It's like you're saying
that's groovy, Like that's how cool it is what it is, gvy.
The smiling face with sunglasses is Dad at a barbecue.
The winking face gone, the tongue out winks straight to jail.
Even the regular smiling face means serial killer energy and
(03:20):
a thumbs up, it means rotten hell.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Okay, listen, I was here for self improvement, and I've
learned that the smiling face.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Anything happy or like passive, is threatening. And anything threatening
is happy to get it.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Okay, So what okay, So produce Chelsea, send you the
skull You're like, everything's cool lowercase nope, full stop, everything's
all right. What if I send that purple devil looking
angry with the frownie.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Face, Well, that has like a like a smile, like
a smirk on it, So that means like you're up
to no good.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Doesn't that mean you horny?
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Okay, no one's saying that. No one's saying.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Rod and Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
This is a real thrill for me as a kid
growing up watching the greats Leap and Leroy Logins, Andrew Gays,
Warwick Giddy and the icon Cal Bruton. To have him
walking through the door. What an honor to have you here, sir, gooday.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Goody, good day. Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
You know, when we think about the great coaches in
Canberra history, there's Ricky Stewart and there's Cal Bruton.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Do people still call you coach down the street?
Speaker 6 (04:26):
Yeah? They do, they they do.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I guess a lot of the young kids still do
because I'm still involved in the game coaching at the
younger level to my foundation, the Bruton Basketball Foundation, so
we coach thousands and thousands of kids all year.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Do they even know you're an NBL Hall of Fame,
a two time NBL champion, You've traveled the world playing
the game and you call this place home.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Did they know that? Or they just respect you because
you're the coach?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I think it's a little bit of both. Someone do
their homework, they're coming coach. I just googled you.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
I didn't know, so that's a pleasure always.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
But the younger generation is different you know, so you
have to sometimes put your foot down and get your potocross.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
I can't imagine is there much.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Footage of you playing online? I wasn't able to track
much down because back in the day, like they weren't
filming back then.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Well, we did have our own television shows back then.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yeah, they video all the games and but the NBL
has decided that I shouldn't say that started from twenty sixteen. Yeah,
I mean they do have, Yeah, the rebrand, the rebrand,
but at the end of the day, you know, some
of the old footage dude pop up every now and then,
and they they showed a feature of me, you throwing
(05:39):
the pass between my legs.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
Oh, I wouldn't try that now.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
You're not coaching that. But I mean it was that
sort of creativity that captured the attention of Australians and
his kids. We'd watch Steve Carfino's show, you know, and
you guys, you know, were in the highlights reel and
highlight reels and the whole thing.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
Any kid you go, now, six, yeah, how many grandkids? Five?
Must starting five?
Speaker 1 (06:04):
How toll is the tallest, six foot five is the grandson,
He's the tallest, the others are tall for their size.
My two younger sons are Dante in Brooklyn. Dante's eighteen.
He's six foot one, Brooklyn's about five ten.
Speaker 6 (06:21):
They're playing, yes, they're both in the NBL one finals
this weekend as well.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
They're playing against each other, right.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, well hopefully on Saturday. Yeah, they'll play against each
other Canber versus Ilawi.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
It's interesting.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
So the white the NBL one works where the gunners.
Obviously we're East, so it's New South Wales and the
ACA T So we won that conference and now we
play the other conferences to see who is the best
of the best.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
Right, that's correct.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Yes, it's a national competition and it's good because there's
a fetus system into the NBL.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
With your kids all playing basketball, how do they feel
about having dad who is an ex star, ex coach?
Are you really hard on them? Do they come to
you for advice or are you just that.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I'm just that, But they they do come occasionally, but
they don't like to hear what I have to say.
But I always try to encourage them. They've they've been
good boys, all my sons. They they love the game,
they teach the game. They spend the hours coaching around
the country. CJ's in China and Elliott just in Tyree,
(07:22):
New South Wales, Austin's in West Australia coaching, and then
I got the two boys here and my daughter she
doesn't play, she's a social worker, Shakira, and I have
a granddaughter and both of them in the workforce doing
really well important jobs.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
Yeah, I think so it's a good excuse for you
to travel.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
You go over to China, you know, you say the
I mean you saw the world playing as a young
bloke yourself. Now with the family, you know, spread around
the country, in the world, is that a good.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Excuse to travel?
Speaker 6 (07:49):
Very good excuse for my car.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I used to sell cars for thirteen years here in
Canberra and my Audi two thousand and nine has four
hundred and twenty five thousand.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
It's quicker to drive, right.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
Sometimes it is.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I'd rather drive again, sit back, listen to my music.
And I've been to I haven't drove to Western Stralia.
I don't think I'm doing that well.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
We've been that way.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
We've been all the way up in can up the Cans,
We've we've been everywhere in that car. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
Seven seaters so we can tuck everyone in nicely.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Not all sixteen, but no talking about the NBA Blitz
starting tomorrow. Every single team is here in Canberra to
play across Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday Sunday, two games a day.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
The A.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yes, it's going to be massy. There's been the campaign
that you have been very involved in since twenty fifteen
to bring back the cannons. Having the NBL Blitz here
in Canberra, how much impact is that going to have
on this campaign to get the cannons back?
Speaker 6 (08:48):
A huge impact, Gabby.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
This is like the best thing that's happened to camera
in a very long time for basketball. Having all ten
teams here, having all the coaches and players and ministrators
and scouts, it's just going to put a spotlight on
camera basketball and hopefully they're bringing here to camera and
it brings back to camera Cannons.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Now you've given us hope, and we've got tremendous hope,
and we're so excited. This is going to be a
fantastic week for the NBL and camera and we haven't
said that for far too many years.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Icon of the Game, I kind of the city. We
really appreciate your time today.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
No, thank you so much. Roy, I really appreciate you
and Gabby and I listened to you guys.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
We are rock You're a gentleman too kind.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
People love the roast shows the Comedy Channel in America,
they do the celebrity roast and I feel uncomfortable watching those,
and then you're forced if you're the person who's being roasted,
to laugh.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Some of them seem to enjoy it, but what for me, No, it.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Often goes a rye and you're they're laughing, but you
know deep down that hurt.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
You know, Yeah, for me, it's a real cringe whenever
there's a roast. But they decided that last night on
the Block that was going to be one of the challenges.
I know how much you love their challenges Rod where
they have to go and do things outside of renovating
the house.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Well, when time is of the essence and you're focused
on a thing the show is built around, I mean,
there's nothing we love more as viewers. They're not that,
you know and doing something completely unrelated and unnecessity like
a roasts. Perfect example, a linger is this in the folder.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
They're in the folder. So they did actually have to
do a roast last night. Each of the teams had
to get up and do a bit, and some of
them were unbelieveably cringey because they're not public speakers. These
guys are really outside of their comfort zone.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Who are they roasting.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
They're roasting one another, maybe some Scottie, maybe some Shelley.
One of the guys decided to roast the audience and
that was a bad idea because then the audiences offside,
so they don't know what they're doing. They're not comedians.
But there was a couple of clips I've got for
you that they did okay. Two of the teams did okay,
So the least of the cringies. We're going to go
(11:05):
to Sonny and Alisha first, so they came in second,
but they did all right, so we'll have a little
listen to them.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Okay, I'm nervous. This is why the producers did it,
because they know that we freak out.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
About Ben and em in house won I've made a
few pole dancers in my time, So she is a
pole dancer, right.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
No, no, no, So they're talking about the pole dancers and
he their husband and wife. So when he said I've
met a few pole answers in my past. His wife
was like, what okay.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Okay, wait wait wait what.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
I'll pay for this later.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Yes, she is not like the others.
Speaker 7 (11:48):
I think I'd give Emma my money and she's so
nice you'd give it back.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
So that's who we spoke to yesterday was Emma the
pole dncer who we said was too nice, way too nice,
and they were reading rating that.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
So it was a bit of a roast.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
But you know, that's a very nice thing to say.
That's a gentle roast, gentle rose.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
I'm happy with a gentle roast.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yeah. So then we go to Robbie and Matt, who
won the roasting competition, and they had a few more
things to say. So they also wanted to talk about
the pole dancer and her partner, and then Sonny and Alicia,
who just were roasting just as second ago.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Trade or she just does the exercise.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
She's like a champion, like a national yeah yeah, yeah.
So she's actually a teacher and she's actually a very
well accomplished woman, but her dancing is phenomenal and she
loves to showcase that. So people are definitely on the
pole dancing bandwagon.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
The strength aerobic gymnasty.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
It's incredible.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
It is incredible.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
So these are the boys who we spoke to last
week from the block. They won the roasting competition. See
if you agree with them taking it.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Out here we are.
Speaker 8 (13:01):
Since we're trade ees, Rob and I have given each
other nicknames, so I call Robbie double O seven zero talent,
zero effort, seven poos a day.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
So they're roasting each other at this point.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
But that's do that great. That said, maybe don't do.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
That, but being across it with each other, So yeah,
don't surprise him.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
I call himunt the sense of light.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
He only works on the cameras on.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Him killing this next one.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I'm not so sure that.
Speaker 8 (13:40):
We went in all gone Shane of blazing. I think
we did good. Emma and Ben this season's beautiful couple.
They look the same with their matching red hair. They're
piercing blue eyes. Just remember, if your relationship doesn't make
it through the show, you'll still always be cousins.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
I mean, if you're going to marry someone that looks
like your brother or sister, you're.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Gonna get it all right. With the final joke that
they on Sonny and Alisha, who have been married for
fourteen years, and they have had a few scuffles where
they've they've been very angry at each other through the
season so far.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
Then we've got Sonny and Leisha from House four. So
Sonny's a plumber, always fixing problems.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
On the site, but for some reason can't fix the
leaks in his relationship. So they really start to get roasty.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Yeah, yeah, they've gone hard there. Where was it?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
There was an audience the Dales for people could actually
buy to or get to because I don't have had
to pay, and the whole theater and balcony were full.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
I was going to say, because the trade's on site
in the car park and everyone gathering around and not
sounding that awesome.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
No, but this audience, don't forget this was filmed before
this hits the TV, so they had never seen these
people or knew anything about them ever in their lives.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
For the people, they just love a last They don't
need to know why. It makes any sense.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Rod and Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
We spoke about giving a good impression when you first
arrive at a workplace, and we all agreed that the
worst thing that could happen would be the police giving
your new workplace a visit. Management's gonna ask questions. Yeah,
you're going to go wrong guy looking for another guy.
But there's going to be talk around the office, yeah,
(15:42):
or the work site. That's the guy, right, it's not
the new guy, that's the guy the cops showed up to.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
That absolutely, that will be how you're known for here
on out right.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
So when former Rooster and I think cowboy Brandon Smith
finally made his way over to the Rabbit, o's turning
a new leaf leaf new workplace and he got to
the Gold Coast Airport about to play footy for the
first time in a long time, and the cops showed up,
we thought, well that's we felt for it.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Ah, no one needs that. And he's starting working at
a new place, so you know, go knock at his door.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Don't do it in a public place with his mates.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
And friends friends, And so understandably the media reached out
to the Queensland Police.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
He said, what's this all about?
Speaker 5 (16:30):
This?
Speaker 4 (16:31):
I was just asking him about some stuff. Stevie knows
a guy.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
He knows a guy that we're interested in.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
Anyway.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
The news overnight NRL star Brandon Smith has been charged
with dangerous drug suppli as well as using inside knowledge
for betting by police in Queensland. Oh no, so he
knows a guy and unfortunately he also is a guy.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Georgia Costi is reporting on it today for Sunrise and.
Speaker 9 (16:57):
Then Smith was stopped and questioned by police at the
Gold Coast.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
Airport two weeks ago.
Speaker 9 (17:03):
He is accused of some really serious offenses. Police will
allege that he supplied dangerous drugs and also provided some
inside knowledge for betting. Now, at this stage there is
still a lot we don't know about the nature of
the accusations against him. However, he was investigated by Task
(17:23):
Force Maxima, which here in Queensland is our police group
that deals with bikis and organized crime.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
No. Now, I was guessing when we were like, well,
who's the guy he could know some of the free
players they seem to like hanging out with the bike Not.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
All Queensland have really really really strict laws around biki games.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Come to camera, mate, we don't have those. I'm not
going to people get fired up. We did guess, we speculated,
and we.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Guessed right now.
Speaker 9 (17:53):
This morning as well, another Sydney and RL club has
been dragged into this.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
It is the Sydney Boosters.
Speaker 9 (18:00):
And that's because player Victor Radley has been unwittingly dragged
into this. His name has appeared in a summons against
Brendan Smith, but at this stage there is no suggestion
he has done anything wrong.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Don't you so hard on that? So now Victor knows
a guy, Victor knows nothing.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Someone just said, oh you know.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
They hung out once.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Yeah, Victor is a good guy who knows. We don't
know Victor.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
And five minutes ago we thought that Brandon just knew
a guy and he wasn't actually involved.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
We had our suspicions about around Brandon. But Victor looks
like a choir boy, and so.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
In my mind does look like a quiet In my mind,
he could be on the court's that he's.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
An innocent bystander. He's he he's you know, he's been
caught up. I don't know any of this, but I
feel you know, when you've got a mate and you
know your mate's trouble, but there your mate, yeah, you.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Know so, and he's like, oh, I just got to
quickly do something. You're like all right, and then you're
there and you're like, oh no, why my.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Hair All of a sudden jumping into the passenger seat
shouting go, go go, and you're like, I was just
waiting for you. Now everything's fine, we just gotta go.
I feel like that's where Victor. I don't know any
of this, but I feel, Hey, we guessed right last time,
I'm guessing right this time.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
