Speaker 1 (00:00):
What is the charge eating on me?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
A procedure.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
This is Roden Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Oh all right, you're feeling all pumped up for a Tuesday.
That's a funny way to feel for a Tuesday.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
Yeah, it's unusual.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
It's across the Gabby. How are you traveling?
Speaker 5 (00:22):
Great?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I believe you.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Actually I'm pretty clocked up.
Speaker 5 (00:26):
Okay, I'm good.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
I'm not clogged up. I'm good. I don't think that's good.
You don't want to be clocked up.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Standing to Gabby for the rest of the morning, and
we'll see how this is.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
I'll move a little bit over for You'll.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Make a huge difference.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
You know, when we're in this peach tra diish of
a box.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Good morning to you, where you're joining us across the
greatest city in the world. I have noticed we are
standing closer to one another in the shops now, and
I just know had I'm sort of I'm almost doing
this like.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
You got to do like when we're kids, and that's ay.
Make sure you spread apart, so your arm distance away
and you just like flyling your arms around to make
sure no one was in your space.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
That's what I need to do.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Just do down the shops.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I was at the Superbarn in Casey and I was
an older couple, and I expect the oldies to be
the switched on once that's said, you're an older you
do whatever you want. And they said this older couple,
I mean they were right. They were right on right
on me there, right up behind me. And it's not
like it's not like I feel their breath in the
back of my neck. But if you're any closer, so
(01:26):
I need to start doing this and swing in my arms.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
That's maybe not with the oldies.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
I take it back, Well, they're going to get the
message somehow and they're doing whatever they want. Let's go
back to the stickers on the ground. I loved that
you would.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
I loved you liked COVID with the masks and the
stickers and the social distancing.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Saw my my dear friend Julie Doyle who runs Triple
six over there. And I was in the Woolworths in
Hibberson Street and I Garland.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
For those people who don't know streets.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
That's so true, right, looking at the man who knows
no more, right, and so I hear I used to
work with George of course. Yeah, and I hear Rod,
and I turn around and I wear the mask. I
still wear the mask. I've never taken the mask. She goes, oh,
you're not well. I know. She goes, oh yeah, she realized,
(02:23):
Oh yeah, you're still wearing the mask.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Yeah, but you don't get sick, so you're doing something
right exactly.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
All right, this is this is the big news I'm
going to change the music for your big news today, Ashley.
All Right, what's coming to Australia.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Tomorrowland, or at least a taste of Tomorrowland is coming
to Australia.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
Possibly what a caveat Maybe that's like the Techno Festival,
the biggest techno festivals in the world.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
And in the tradition of great accidental announcements, much like
the Roden Gave You Breakfast show when it appeared on
the side of a bus weeks before the show was
even on the radio or it even been announced it
was moving on to one or four point seven. Accidental
announcements are fantastic. And so someone has seen a poster
where in Europe somewhere.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Yeah, So this was a festival goer who was walking
towards the core stage and there were just signs up
along the pathway and this eagle eyed festival attendee saw
that there were names of cities on here and it
was supposedly possibly teasing the next locations for Tomorrowland events.
(03:49):
And people are saying that it's probably not going to
be the entire festival experience, but Tomorrowland's core stage coming
to Melbourne in November twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
That sounds like a fantastic accidental announcement. Once again, I
like it.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
That's how all announcements should be made. Yeah, accidentally, yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
And presumptuously like oh you didn't know, No, you hadn't
said anything about it. I like Fisher because of the
techno artists, I suppose, maybe certainly one of the most
famous Australian artists to have performed tomorrow Land. Well, that's
another reason for us to wear all black and head
(04:29):
back down in Melbourne.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
I don't because Melbourn's black book is tomorrow Lands.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
No, because Melbourne and is. We're like, you know what,
if you're going to a techno festival, probably aspect we're
getting a little bit more colorful. The stages are spectacular.
See the stages of these things. It's very funny with
the DJs, because they build these these stages that are
like small cities, and then there's.
Speaker 7 (04:49):
This dude.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Jumping around just popping.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Popper rodin Gabby Versus the World.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
This has been on Netflix now for what I guess
is a week, and look, it's got mixed reviews. And
that happened.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Of course it would because there's so much nostalgia yes,
that is associated with it.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Yes, and also is it good? And of course I
speak of the great Happy Gilmore too. My name is
Happy Gilmore.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Thirty years ago I decided to give Golf a train.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
But even when you're at the top of your game,
you can always shank one.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Happy Gilmour sucks.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Well. So far exactly what I expected.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
So far, so good.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Yeah, I haven't watched it yet, but I am planning
on doing so because it does look like they've brought
it back with a really good reason, like good storyline.
Great cameos are seventy five cameos in this movie. Well.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Adam Sandler's famous for putting his friends in his film.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Yeah, like Rob Schneider is in every one.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Of his films, right, And so when you start you
have just check it we he you know, you have
more friends. Life goes on, welloretically, certainly for him, very successful,
very famous of all the Saturday Night Live Alarm, he
sits him and Mike Myers. I guess when we talk
about the ones that have ended up being the biggest
(06:24):
successes Eddie Murphy, all right, we could go on the
point is he's got a lot of friends. Yeah, so
seventy five cameos maybe doesn't surprise me. I don't know
how you'd fit them all in.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Well, they're all in there, and some of them are
blinking you miss it kind of cameos. There's an Aussie
cameo that will get to at the end, and it's
one you would absolutely not expect.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Did he do a film with Eric Banner? No? Did
Adam Sandler do a film with Eric Banner? There's a
there's a there is a film where Eric Banner plays
an Australian actor. I'll work out what.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
That is like, Well, it's definitely not Eric Banner. Someone well,
something way more unexpected than that. But some of the
other cameos, and I'm not gonna go through all seventy
five because I don't even know a bunch of them,
because they're from different walks of life. So there's something
for everyone. So there's a heap of pro golfers and
retired golfers that are in there, like a lot. Every
(07:20):
single golfer you've seen in the movie is probably someone
of note. Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift's boyfriend. He's in there
as a waiter. Bad Bunny's in there, Eminem is in there.
He's a random hagler, like a Rob Schneider kind of character.
Post Malone is in there, Steve Buscemi's in there, Hailey,
Joel Osmond, ben Stiller, and then Adam Sandler's entire family
(07:45):
is in there, his wife, his two girls, his mum,
ben Stiller's two kids are in there. Like there's so
pretty much every caddy, every waiter, every yes, like there's
podcast people that are in there. Everyone that you kind
of see in bit parts are a cameo.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Historically, where you would use I guess what would be
called extras or at the very least walk on parts.
You're in the scene, you've walked and you have a
line and then you get out instead of using extras.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
He's exactly. But the Aussie cameo that really caught my
surprise was when two of the guys, what's Oh my god,
what's his name? He's Art Jeemy, you know, he's Art
Jeremy's shooting McGavin, shoote McGavin. Sitting on the couch. They
think it's Adam Sandler's character. Happy gilm was Dad, I think.
(08:34):
And they're sitting on the couch and they're watching TV
and this scene comes up and they're watching Australian Love
Island and it's a scene where it's supposedly quite a
famous scene from the show where two of the girls
decided to shower together in the bikinis, like they're covered up,
but they're like, oh, let's have a bit of a
shower and they're quite very good looking, and shuter McGavin
(08:55):
says that girl's got some body on her and then
Adam's happy. His dad goes, hey, hey, hey, we don't
objectify women anymore, and it's just it's so funny because
that's that's exactly what Love Island is.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Well, yes, and this is a twenty twenty five Havy.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Gilmour compared to what it was back in the day, Yes.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Where there may have been some objectification, but.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
The two girls from Love Island had no idea that
they were actually going to appear in the movies.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
They didn't know they get a check.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
I don't think so, because I think Love Island Australia
has the rights to it, not them as such, because
it's just a scene from the show. But they were stoked,
like they're all over socials, like, oh my god, yeah,
nights from my old breakfast show.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Stopped by this morning and he said to me, listen,
I noticed a lot of online discussion about a subject
that I think you might be able to help you
decide on. And I said, right, what's the discussion And
he said, people are debating if Hulk Hogan should be
buried in his yellow and red light or a suit.
(10:02):
And I didn't hesitate. I just I hadn't thought about it,
but obviously a lot of talk about it. And he
is iconically recognized for the red and yellow.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Yeah, but that's his job, right.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
And I said, listen, you know that appearance at the
Grammys in the tuxedo with the sleeves ripped off feels
like appropriate attire for a funeral. And I don't know how.
I mean, you've got to have the arms, which he
had the pythons, as he would call them. I don't
know how many people will attend the funeral, and there'll
be more about that obviously during the week.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Whether it's a public affair or if it's going to
be a private family.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
One, I can't even imagine. I mean, you know, when
on an Australian scale, Shane warn passing was obviously you
know Krayke, they packed out the MCG Yeah, you know.
So these state funerals and these opportunities for the public
to come and pay tribute to their heroes are important
and so I feel like and I hope that it
(10:59):
is something that the public can attend. People will travel
from around the world for it. And we've seen over
the last week, well since we learned of the news
at the end of last week, you know, the impact
that he just had on childhood's you know, and I identified,
I said, he was my hero when I was a kid,
and that was a pretty common story for a lot
of you know, gen X kids, and so we've seen
(11:20):
a lot about it in the news. One thing I
didn't see, but it did occur to me because there
was so much talk about the world met him when
he appeared opposite Sylvester Stallone in Rocky three, and when
he returned to wrestling after that, I heard a lot
of people mention it, but it's important. He took the
Eye of the Tiger theme music from Rocky three and
(11:42):
used that as his entrance music. That's not necessarily the
most interesting part. The most interesting part is before that moment,
no entrance music in wrestling.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Was that the start of it?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
That was the start of it? Wow, PAULK. Cogan using
that and now everyone does it. Categorically, do you have
an entrance song? Yeah, entrance I'm gonna need one.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
What would my entrance music be?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
And it's a question that a lot of people have
to think. Well, I don't have to, but they choose
to think about it. If you're going to arrive in
a room.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
To find gravity, maybe from Wicked, well popular from Wicked,
maybe that one, so theatrical, you're gonna be popular.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
And I feel like you'd be doing a little bit
of a sideways walk as you walked into the room.
Step kick and videos. You won't be surprised to know.
You have kept coming up on my on my feed.
And so he used you know, the Rocky three music
for a hot minute and then on what must have
been new Year's Eve. So after Christmas nineteen eighty five,
(12:46):
he changed his music and it was the first time,
so again a lot of the wrestlers coming out with
no music and he and by the way, there's nothing
special to this story other than it was just an
amazing core memory that I had forgotten about from nineteen
But Madison Square Garden just before it clicks over to
nineteen eighty six, and this happened, and he just scrolled
(13:08):
up on face. Now no one knew what was going
on because no one had heard this song before, but
he'd found the song Real American and switched to that.
And by the way, he as recently as a couple
(13:28):
of months ago launched Real American Beer. So this thing
that happened decades and decades and decades ago a thie
ended up being his thing for his life.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
A real American.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Hetter speaks color Poja W three.
Speaker 8 (13:49):
Two heavy works beyond Pogg Kinnick.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
And he went to the ring and fought my other
childhood hero, which was always a little bit of a challenge,
the Mocho man Randy Savage. But years later, when they
combined to form the Megapowers, the greatest tag team in
my life. That was a special time.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
I had no idea macho Man was a wrestler.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Who'd you think?
Speaker 4 (14:17):
I thought it was just that song. You known I
wanna be a mucho man.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
And you know what, I've never thought whether or not
that song is about the macho man. Yeah, right, Well,
there's something else I'm going to need to look into.
I feel like Facebook's listening to us. They'll answer this
question on the scroll within five minutes.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Rodin Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Why would you not tell an influencer? Would you say
to an influencer you're not famous enough? What could go
wrong there?
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Ash, you could lose everything.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Where's this come from? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (14:51):
This happened to a chef in San Francisco who turned
away an influencer who had actually arranged a collaboration with
the rest. Oh, so she showed up to do some
filming and she was going to get a free meal
in return for posting a video. And at the time
she had fifteen thousand followers, but the chef was like,
(15:13):
not good enough for me, said please leave, And so
of course she posted about that experience, which has gained
her a much larger following. And she didn't even name
the chef, but the people on TikTok worked it out good. Yeah,
(15:34):
and he got fired. And now the restaurant has even
announced that it's closing because of the ongoing drama and
the backlash.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Well yeah, I mean, we don't know. I don't know
the economic environment of San France at the moment, but
you were in America, Western society were all struggling a
little bit at the moment. But this clearly played a part.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
But if the business is organized collaboration with her, then
the chef comes in and goes, yeah, I think he's
in the wrong y.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Chefs are famously wild characters, so I love that you've
got a crazy ship, but if it does lead given
to shut your business, then he's of no use to anybody.
And I think if you're a business and these Randau
influences are coming in and asking for free meals and
there isn't the time and effort put into organizing a collab,
(16:27):
hit the bricks. That's nonsense. However, this person's been professional
about it. They've set it up. And then there's been
a renegg by the by the restaurant, by the.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Chef, not by the restaurant, by the chef, and she
hasn't gone out and even named names.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
You know, it's a good karma to her. And then
obviously the opposite.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
The karma bus came along.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Ah just crashed through the front of the rest. Don't
do what I did the other day when I announced
the NBLS coming back to Canberra, which technically they would
they are, but I led people to think that the
Canberra Canyons were back, which I also feel like is
a chance. But you've gone in hard, you've gone bank
and sets back.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
It is back and set is back. So we all
know Ansett Airlines who closed down in two thousand and two.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Chelsea doesn't.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
No, you're right and that that is going to be
an issue in this story. The younger generation don't know
Anset because two thousand and two is a long time
ago when they went under and they were a huge
cultural imprint on Australia though they were the sponsor of
the Sydney Olympics, like they were huge everyone near.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Them, the AFL, the NRL.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Yeah, in fact, I think massive sponsors of all of them.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
It might have been nineteen thirties then Anset.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Seen thirty six is when they started right.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
And Sir Reginald started started it and he talk about
a self made man. He builds this airline from scratch.
He's a pilot. Wow. Until his passing. He used to
have the helicopter down there down the peninsula and he'd
helicopter into five oh one Swanson Street they built. There's
(18:06):
a helicopter pad on the top of that building till
to this day. Oh so that was where I clearly
used to work for ANSET. Clearly five though one Swanson
Street in Melbourne was the headquarters. Ah ah, but it
was a windy area and so that helicopter pad I
think may have and look an set officionados, you let
(18:28):
us know. My recollection is it was used once or twice.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Because it was bad weather every other time.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
It's tough landing on the top of a skyscraper. But
he put it up there and it's still there.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
To this day.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Well, it went under in two thousand and two and
it hasn't made a resurgence since then. However, a Melbourne entrepreneur, Constantine,
has decided to bring back ANSET, but not as an airline.
Anset is coming back as an AI powered travel agency.
So he's decided he wanted to bring back the name
(19:00):
because it does mean something to some Australians and he's
registered the trademark, so he's created a fleet of AI
agents that will organize your travel for you. So it
has about five hundred airlines through million hotels that are
part of this AI system, so international domestic travel, you
can book it through these AI bots and they will
(19:23):
organize it for you, which I have been hearing that
that is the future of travel organizing a future of
love exactly. But I found it really interesting because you
did say that, you know, Chelsea doesn't know who anset
is being a gen zetta, and AI is something that
the younger generations are more likely to use and get
(19:47):
around smart observation.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
So the brand value of antst means nothing.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
It's nothing to the people that are going to be
using it.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
That's a really, really great point.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
So silly decision on his bove or is this going
to encourage boomers and gen x's to think about AI?
I don't think so. I don't think Ansert's big enough
for that.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
It's encouraging me to go and find what else from
that era has had a trademark lapse that I can
tap into some nostalgic value versus the world. Let me
just put my detective hat on for a moment, because
there is a headline and every time we see the
news something missing from the shelves. The concern is, right,
(20:28):
is it because one of the ingredients there's a problem
with one of the crops? Well it's gone. Yeah, And
I'm sorry to say this morning that it's gone.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
What a chip?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
That is a chip? I think it would be a
little less flippant when you learn that the Tyrrell's chips
are gone from coals and boys, you have not reacted
yet in your face.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
So I saw this article and it was like it's missing.
I was like, what's missing? And I clicked on it.
I'm like, I don't know what that is?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
What it is, I don't know what it is the
Tyrols chip.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
I've never had a Tyrols chip in my life.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
I don't think you realize this isn't realized. The best
chip in the entire supermarket is apparently we haven't been
buying enough of it. This is the Tyrol's commercial.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
At Tyrrels, we know how to look after rass buds,
whether they're given a cheeky chop of chives a dash
of chili. My mind, that's a big one for a
pinch of peppery perfection. These lucky spuds only get the best,
making them terribly, terribly tasty.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
That is a great ad, but never seen that out
of my life.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
You're looking at the packet of the chips now on
the screen.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
Zero recognition. I have no idea what a tyrol chip is.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Can I tell you something, as we learned yesterday in
the news with Ash at eight thirty five, that they
if it's eye level, right, that's where you pay the money.
Level level is by level is bi level, and that's
where you know.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
As you read rock delis or you can right right.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
And I'm not going to suggest there's anything you know
untoward or any you know, any deals going on. I'm
not going to suggest. Let me tell you where you'd
find the tyills.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Bottom shelves that I've never seen them, probably because I'm
a sucker for that kind of market.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Dis You just look on eye level, look it down.
So it's too late, mate, it's too late. You look
you know what you know what you say when you
look down? Nothing empty shell.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Ash.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
I'm noticing in the news that you're you're letting the
cat out of the bag. You're revealing the secret. What
are the tactics that real estate agents are using to
fool us?
Speaker 5 (22:38):
Well, I'm bringing you tactics straight from the horse's mouth.
A real estate agent on the Central Coast has exposed
some of the tactics used in as industry.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
It's like a magician revealing the trip. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
The other real estate agents are real mad about it.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Yes, mat on the Semi Coast is not going to
be invited to the conference, that's for sure. What's you're
telling us?
Speaker 5 (22:58):
So a couple of well, okay, there's the classic. There's
another offer on the table.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Yeah, know that they were able to do that legally.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
How can you catch them out?
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Because they can't give you details.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Yeah, well that is a classic. It's a good yeap.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
So that's one.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
Another one which I'm sure many of us are also
familiar with as catfish homes, where the photos posted online
make that property look a lot better than it actually is.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
I don't mind dressing a you know, doing a house dressing,
I think is what they cost the staging.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Staging is good, but when it comes to potential photoshop
or something that might be crossing the line.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
I do. I do think particularly views are the ones
that can be screwed with as far as just dropping
a nicer view.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Into a weind look at the view of the mountains
and you're in the middle of Melbourne where.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I was doing a commercial years years, like ten years ago,
and it was fair an estate agent and they were
like with viewser tells to tower and I'm like, find
me somewhere who can't see it?
Speaker 4 (24:04):
I can it for a bugget door.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
We're working hard. You need to stand behind something not
to see. But anyway.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
Another one is where an agent might go and door
knock on the street when an auction is on to
try and get that. He'll invite the neighbors to try
and make the house look more desirable.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Oh so they actually like it when I go and
sticky beacon an auction.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Well yeah, but if I'm not bidding on behalf of
the cellar, I want that, you know what I mean?
Like I want anyone who's turning up to buy to
go ooh oh this is hoigh property. I'm going to Yeah,
lots of people here a million bucks over from a reserve.
It's like when you showed up to those auctions. Your
husband was trying to put your hand down and you
had a huge blue with him because you want to.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Go over was going for it, but there was about
thirty people there. Yeah, and I felt the competition right.
It made me want to keep going, but well above budget.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
As a buyer, that's up to you.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Yeah, I think was there peer pressure?
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Did you feel the bigger crowd made you want to
seem more impressive and more money?
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (25:05):
I was really proud of myself because I was the
first one to like I set the auction. They were like,
who's going to give us like the start? And I
was like, I'll do it. Found out like he's such
a big shot.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Gabby hates the stay allow me. Everybody vote vote.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Rod and Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
It's a fantastic guest. This morning after rate Michael Asher
seven News icon who we buy our own admission or
me specifically said he's been put in dancing in the stars,
so we've all got someone to relate to, but don't
expect to see him in week two.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Don't expect him to blow our mind. But that's kind
of what he's done.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
He's still in there while everyone else is getting booted
off the show trying his guts out. There's a nation
we appreciate and respect that. So Michael Asher is going
to join us in an hour from now.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Roden Gabby's big.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Laura Marci a good to chat with you. Whereabouts in
the world did you escape to her the last month? Oh,
I was in Europe.
Speaker 9 (26:08):
I went to Albania, Croatia and Greece.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
It was so nice, you know, I remember when they
flew you over and they put you in the jungle
before they did that. I'm a celebrity. Get me out
of here. Was this a junket as well? Or this
is just a holiday.
Speaker 9 (26:22):
This was just a holiday fully funded by me? And
it was lovely.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
We looked lovely.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
The photos were just so much living it up.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Yeah, agreed, we are jealous. However, you've got straight back
to work on your return and Tom Cruise's girlfriend has
got to work in making fun of Tom girls. Tom
Cruise's ex girlfriend, her ex wife, Nicole Kidman. Now, don't
tell me Tom has liked the post though.
Speaker 9 (26:50):
No, Tom hasn't, but Anna has. So what happened was
Anada Armas has been kind of noted liking a post
which question whether Nicole Kidman had undergone plastic surgery. So
it's kind of shady because these are women in Hollywood
who all come against the same beauty standar So, I mean,
she probably just likes it on a whim, but shady.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
And they've been broken up for a while, Like you
don't go after the ex of fifty years ago.
Speaker 9 (27:16):
Yeah, they got divorced in two thousand and one. Was like,
what how old is I like seven?
Speaker 7 (27:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
I was gonna say, I don't know Anna de Aramus,
but is she one of these much younger girlfriends. She
might not know her history. She's not.
Speaker 9 (27:34):
She's not like much much younger, but she's still younger
than all.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Okay, there's a change she doesn't know Nicole is actually
married to her. Now I'm loving when you know there's
a film that I don't expect to sequel because you know,
time has passed.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Like Happy Gilmore.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Happy Gilmore is certainly the greatest example of the moment,
but others have gone, well, if Happy Gilmore can do it,
so can we. Who's joining the list today?
Speaker 9 (27:58):
Well, there's two new ones joining meliss today. I'm very
very excited to hear that bend it like Beckham two
has been confirmed in the work We've got I know,
I love that movie, so we've got the director Wrinda
Chata revealed this morning to Deadline, basically saying that the
script is being written, but they're waiting to have the
car seat it before they sign off on the project.
So fingers cross Lader has threw it up.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Bend it like Beckon' seeing that in a long time
sequel we didn't know we needed. But you said there's
another one.
Speaker 7 (28:26):
Yes, yes there is.
Speaker 9 (28:28):
So Meet the Parents four has been confirmed. It's going
to be called Fokker in Law, you know, after Ben
Stiller's character. Yeah, so it's got all your original caster
Robert Nira, Ben Stiller, and Wilson Black, Danna and and
Ariana Grande is joining the mix.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Fantastic when you bring back the legends from.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
There has to be a girlfriend right.
Speaker 9 (28:51):
Well, So, I mean we haven't heard anything. All we
know is that it's coming out in November twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Ben still knows how to pull a crowd when it
comes to any film he touches, even if it is
film that we didn't realize we needed. And someone like
Ariana is now about the biggest start in Hollywood. And
before we go have jee flip and Chris Krishelle got
married again because I thought they had already done that
a couple of times.
Speaker 9 (29:14):
Yes, so third times the chime I hear. They were
all dressed up and they renewed their vowals. They got
married again, but this time they were dressed as you know,
in a medieval ceremony, and knights in a Hollywood Hills
were officiating them.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Good. They love it. I mean, if you love getting married,
who's to say you just do it once?
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Yeah, it up every time, That's what I think.
Speaker 9 (29:36):
Apparently in twenty twenty three they said that they were
going to do it every single year. So I support
this fully. If you could afford a wedding every year.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Pop off, absolutely, what a party.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
That's where I've come unstuck, the ability to afford a
new wedding every year. Senior reporter at Pedestrian TV. Get
all your celebrity beef at the High Stakes podcast. We'll
chat again.
Speaker 9 (29:57):
Thanks so much.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Better than news with Ashley in just a moment. However,
you're saying, and you don't sound old when you say
this at all. You're saying music lovers don't make them
like they don't.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
And I think you'll be saying the same thing. Maybe. Actually,
I don't know which way you're going to go on this,
to be honest, because you are an old school music lover.
I love all music, but you also love your sleep,
so a pole can do both well. A poll has
been done for music lovers and it turns out a
(30:32):
quarter of music lovers are leaving their music concerts and
gigs early in order to go home to bed. So
majority like of these these ones that are leaving early
are leaving before the last soul so that they can
get out and get home and get their their's z's in.
(30:54):
And that's the thing. I hate it when we are
at the footy and like it's the last few minutes
and you can see everyone piling out to the I'm like,
what's another few minutes I come down. But at a
music it's even more surprising because there's always an encore.
Believe it goes dark, everyone screams, they come back, and
then that's normally the best part.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
If you're skipping out on the on care you see
people after the gig finishes, before the on core. Yeah,
that was fantastic and what do you do? It's about
to get even better.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
And a lot of the people that are saying this
are gen zs. Do they not even know that there
is an on core?
Speaker 5 (31:28):
Like?
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Are they actually going to be the death of the OnCore?
Because the band's going to come back out, No one's
gonna be there.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Well, we're very fortunate to have a representative of the
gen Z community produce a Chelsea as we crossed to
the producers booth. You go to concerts and instabals or
you're a festival girl. Oh, hang on, there's no on
calls at festivals?
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Are they no?
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Do you know about on calls?
Speaker 4 (31:52):
Yeah? Like when someone comes out again to do another song?
Would you ever leave before the encore in order to
get home to bed?
Speaker 2 (32:01):
You've said enough?
Speaker 4 (32:03):
Probably not.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
D and Gabby versus the world?
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Manie your little girls same age as Gabby's Olivia nearly.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
Too now yep, September.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
How's Jack going with the changeing routine because he's doing
the morning everything?
Speaker 5 (32:20):
Yeah, I think he's going. Okay, Yeah, we.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Leave, we go, and we have nothing to do with
I still really want to ask, you know, nothing I
can do about it?
Speaker 2 (32:31):
So TV in the Morning is that ever an option.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
I suspect there is. I really do.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Yeah. Bluey has proven to be the greatest babysitter, not
just here in the Capitol and not just here in
Australia but around the world. And one thing I will
commend Ludo there the production house, aren't they I will
commend them on the toys, the stuff, the things, the merchant,
(32:58):
the merch They've gone hard. And did you end up
getting Did anyone get the garden gnomes that are featured
in Bluey that you could get them at Bunnings.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
I wasn't into Bluey when they came out and then
they sold out so quickly, and now I want them.
Did you see them?
Speaker 2 (33:16):
No?
Speaker 5 (33:16):
And I don't have a garden, so also not in
the market for nomes.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
But there's a lot of people in apartments who will
be excited about this news. This was on the Telly
a second. He got breaking news this morning and so
we're all going to head to our respective fifty eight
Bunnings that we have here across the Capitol. So they
they crossed the Bunnings and they started it. And one
thing I like about Bunnings is they interviewed the people
who work there on the floor in the aprons.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
Right, yeah, but she's wearing an apron saying hammer Barn.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Well, this is the thing. So Bunnings in Bluey is
hammer bar. Yeah, and yes some of the some of
the Bunnings do get the hammer barn mad Yeah, and
they changed the whole thing to hammerbar. Anyway, this is.
Speaker 8 (33:56):
The newsal three, so including the Bride and Groom, and
then we also have some fantastic hmmabarn merch which is
a little tote bag, and then some new auditions this year,
so kids socks as well as some key rings.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
So we know there's lots of merch and that's crap
and exciting. But the thing at the very start, and
sorry maybe it was chopped off a little bit, is
that the you could you could get the names the
new gnomes, so you know, just in case you thought
you had the set, No, no, there's more.
Speaker 8 (34:23):
And then what's really exciting this year is that it's
all about recreating Bluey and Bingo's bedroom at home. So
we have the diy advice as well as the products
to do that. So we have the paper lantern, We've
got to glow in the dark stickers, and then we
have the famous Kiwi and watermelon, the rugs.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
On the floor. Okay, so now I'm painting the girl's bedroom.
Is that what's happening? It looks like it because they're
going to be able to color match everything.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
Now, yeah, you have the lanterns, you glowing the dark
stick My husband is never going to allow glowing the
dark stickers on the roof floor.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
A painter must be his worst night.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Yeah, you know the ones that go on the roof
that we had as kids. She has banned them from
the house because they do a number on the ceiling.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Oh, you virtually have to refill the ceiling after you
peel them off.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
You can never take them off ever, you can roll
over them.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
I think we're going to see if they're still there.
He is shouting at the radio. Don't tell everyone.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
And then you're twenty years old with glowing the dark
stickers on your ceiling still because there's no removing this.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Who was? Who was Matt Heely?
Speaker 4 (35:33):
That was Taylor's sex? He was? He's part of that
rock band.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Nineteen fifty cent, that one. He's the lead singer.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
Yeah, yeah, he looks like a rock band guy.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
His mum's on some reality show.
Speaker 9 (35:46):
At the moment.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
Yeah, supposedly she's tearing a few people around.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
So she's a bit of a character as well. Clearly,
I mean, just because just because you're famous, you don't
just chuck someone's mom on, I'm a celebrity, get me
out of here or whatever it is. Celebrity be brothers.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
You've got to have someone, all right.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
So she's shown up yesterday and she's been asked about.
You know, there's no one's going to be in your
corner more than mum, and so you hope so right,
And it doesn't matter that the biggest star in the
world has broken up with your little boy, who's a
grown man. He's a little boy, so it's going to
(36:20):
be her fault, right, I don't know. Let's see what
she says, Denise, your son is the great Maddie Healy.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
Heyes.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
On that topic, Miss Swift wrote a whole album about
their relationship, Tortured Poets Department.
Speaker 10 (36:37):
What was your reaction to that album? Obviously on Pain
of Death? Can I talk about that episode? But not
being her mother in law is a role that I
I'm glad that.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
I lost at.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
But fair you know, so a little boy, come on,
she claims she was dumped by him.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
By the way, I can't remember what happened with that breakout.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
That's what she.
Speaker 10 (37:00):
Said, that I have anything against her at all. It
was just, you know it was it was tricky, but
she listen, you're not allowed to say anything. And then
she writes a whole album you know about it. But
Mattie has taken it all in completely good grace. He's
very happy with him, is amazing fiance.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Gabriella a nice pivot, and then we get into obviously
his character.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
She seems lovely. I said, Sammy headlines about her tearing
Taylor Swift a new one, and that was fine.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Yeah, you think that until writes an album about it.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Rodin Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
You've got a friend who's who's selling their house. Yeah,
what could you text them? That led to instant regret.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
Well yeah, instant freak out that I hadn't potentially offended
because I did the typical thing where you do a
sticky beak and all the photos on the real estate
dot Com article or add whatever it is, and all
homes which I don't even know which one it was
on because she posted on socials to say our house
is up. If you're interested or anyone else, take a look.
(38:07):
It's a good little place and it is a great
little place, and they've done some great renos to it.
It looks spick and span, it looks beautiful, and I
was looking through the photos. I was like, Wow, it
was great. So I texted her. And she does have
two very very young boys, right, very young boys, like
one and three. So anyone with young kids knows that
(38:32):
the house normally looks pretty hectic. Yeah, lived in, well done,
very lived in. Whenever you visit. My house is probably
worse than most, but it's very lived in. And we
all accept that of each other's houses because we've all
got young kids. We get what it is. I'm not
cleaning up my house to look like no one lives
there for friends to visit. I'm not doing that.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
I hope my wife is listening. I'm gonna get a
sell in trouble going.
Speaker 4 (38:58):
And I don't expect my friends to do it either.
We're all of the understanding that our houses are the
same and it's fine, and so we all visit and
it's all on part.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
It feels like you're delivering quite a caveat before you
tell us about the message you sent.
Speaker 4 (39:13):
But go on, I'm trying to justify the message because I.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Said, everyone knows this right, Everyone knows everyone knows right.
Speaker 4 (39:21):
So I looked at the house on all homes and
I was looking at all the photos and I sent
her a text. I was like, whoa, I've never seen
any house so clean.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
You can't do that. I don't care how much you know.
Speaker 4 (39:33):
It looks so different without all the kids' stories and
like the baby barriers and stuff. As soon as I
said it, I was like, no, this is an unspoken rule.
We don't speak it. We don't say it.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
A part where you just did a five minute monologue
around why this message is okay. That didn't precede the message.
She just got your house normally looks rubbish and I
wasn't going to use the rubbish were just I was
excited when I saw Australian News TV Royalty Michael Lasher
announced on the next season of Dancing with the Stars
(40:12):
because I said, there's someone who I expect probably dances
a bit like me.
Speaker 4 (40:17):
Now you thought he was the everyday guy.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
I thought he's representing us as Australians and we need that. However,
he has put in so much effort and committed and
there's one thing Ossie's love is that and he's still in.
While all the other stars around him are dropping like flies.
Speaker 4 (40:34):
Olympians are gone, he's still there.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
The privileged to have him on the line this morning. Michael, congratulations.
Are you exceeding even your own expectations? Or did you
know something the rest of us didn't?
Speaker 7 (40:46):
No, definitely not as ridiculous. My children are still rolling
around on the floor going what bare are you doing? No,
I think you said something very true there. I learned
about gosh. I think I only had that a few
hours into the first rehearsals, and the rehearsals were so
long and so hard that unless I leant into this
(41:08):
and just surrendered to the dance, that I was going
to end up looking pretty stupid and not give it
a proper game, and I would have let myself down.
I didn't want to do that. You had You had to.
There's no halfway of doing dancing. You had to throw
yourself into it all the way, which as the viewers
I've seen successfully and unsuccessfully in some of the moves
I've done.
Speaker 4 (41:27):
That's the thing, right, Because you came out in week
one and you were doing a traditional ballroom dance and
you were so good you blew us all away, and
our expectations were just blown out of the water. You
have come back in subsequent weeks, though, doing some Latin
modern looser styles that haven't been as great. Wouldn't they
(41:52):
judged a lot more harshly on those numbers?
Speaker 7 (41:55):
Really they're really really hard. I think if I'd been
able to just sort of wafted around and we're a
nice tuxedo and do the nice traditional ballroom moves, I think.
I think even Mark Wilson, the judge, says, I wish
we could have seen more of that, but that's not
the competition. Everyone's going to try something different, and like
the younger guys on the show, you know they've been
(42:17):
I had a laugh with the producers. I said, how
come they're all barefoot and got their shirts off and
they're keep darling your your mid sifties. Australia is not
ready for that yet.
Speaker 4 (42:25):
I think they're ready for that.
Speaker 7 (42:27):
Out they're doing all the contemporary moves, but some of
them haven't been so good at the ballroom once. But
it's a mixing. You've got to try everything, And that's
the whole point of the show. You're You're fully vulnerable
and exposed and they throw you out there and of
all the things I've done, and it sounds so suity
to say, but the minute they do that whole and
welcome to the dance floor, Michael Lasher and his partner
(42:48):
Thattali Low. I freeze and my knees go and the
ankles go sideways, and I get dry mouths, and you go,
what am I done?
Speaker 4 (42:55):
You mentioned your kids are still rolling on the floor.
Can't believe that you're not be leaving. You're still in
the competition. How do they feel about watching you do
these dancers and watching you on TV? Are they be
a little bit proud?
Speaker 7 (43:08):
A little bit proud? And I've just given them ammunitions
for you to come. They go, hey, hey, we're going out,
why don't you wear that sparkly vest again?
Speaker 9 (43:16):
Dad?
Speaker 7 (43:17):
Seriously? Like come on? Like you know, it's a nice thing.
Because when they approached me to show and the network
and they said would you do it? And I thought,
you know, I could ask all all my serious mates
in journalism, and I know exactly what they'd say. They
think you mad, don't do it, But I asked the
kids first, and they're twenty one, eighteen seventeen, so they're great,
(43:38):
and we get on. We've got a great relationship and
our whole family runs on a great sense of humor
and really just taking the piffer over each other all
the time. And they and they said, no, look, go
for it, Dad, Like you do so many serious things
and you work hard and whatever, just don't have some fun.
And I said, I don't think it's gonna be fun.
I think it'd be really hard work. And they said,
you have a lot, it'll be fun as well. Although
(43:58):
there wasn't point. There wasn't because it was like six
weeks rehearsals and a whole lot and I've been racing
in and out and doing this stuff. And my daughter
sit to be At one stage, she said, Dad, when's
dance life ending in news life coming back again? Because seriously,
we need to round home a bit more and can
you start making some dinners.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
But it's a great Aussy story and it sounds like
a beautiful Ozzie family. And I tell you you've been
part of our lives on the TV and for you
to give us as viewers a new side of you
has been more of a treat than we could have
anticipated of.
Speaker 7 (44:28):
All the things I've done for all of all the years.
Right to that point. I know people come up and
always have a conversation about the stories you've done, because
I do so many serious things. You know, there's serious conversations.
Sometimes they're a good stories, sometimes they're bad, and people
have always got an opinion, and I love that. I
always have a chat to anyone who comes up and
says all about these things. But the positive response to
doing a show like Dancing with the Stars is something
(44:49):
like I've never experienced before. And you know, it's good
family stuff. It's just nice. People can see you giving
a go, they get into it, they support their favorites
and whatever. It's a lovely thing. It gives me a
whole lot of courage about all of us. You know
that there's a nice thing and you can be entertained
and yeah, you can show us a side to yourself.
And even if you mess up a couple of the moves,
(45:11):
which I've done, thanks for pointing out they do. You know,
there was the jive that well City quick through the
jive that went to this weekend. Because we don't have
microphones on and we're smiling all the time, or if
you can try and smile through the nerves. But I
turned to my dance on one stage mat and through
a smile, I go, I should think I've gone the
wrong way, and she goes it definitely gone the wrong way.
(45:32):
I said, what do I do? And she said, just
go to the crowd. That's why I went over the
crowd and just you and then and then it's fun.
It's fun back and we kept on going and we got.
Speaker 2 (45:43):
To we're gonna mic you like when a plague gets
micd up on Grandfile days. We need to the microphone.
Speaker 7 (45:50):
It's I said it.
Speaker 2 (45:52):
At a start, and I mean an Australian TV and
News Royalty, the Great Michael Ash your congratulations dancing with
the Stages on Channel seven. Go all the way mate,
we're right by.
Speaker 7 (46:01):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (46:02):
Go and Gabby versus the.
Speaker 2 (46:04):
World before we go, got a few things that might
have to wait until tomorrow because we've run out of time.
This Japanese kid's just broken the world record in the
one hundred meters. We thought it was going to be
Ossie Gout Gout.
Speaker 4 (46:16):
I thought Gaugaut did break the record of his kid's
got and broken it again, so.
Speaker 2 (46:19):
So gout Gat. It was wind assisted. So his nonsted
personal best and this is for eighteen years and under
is ten point one seven seconds is gout Gat.
Speaker 4 (46:31):
So that was the thing I thought, you know, if
there was winds blown again, it's just you know, your
lucky day.
Speaker 2 (46:36):
If you and I go and we see that there's
a mild hurricane going in one direction, let's go race
and we just got set up one hundred meter track
and we you can't of the likes of us winning,
you know, being the fastest person on earth.
Speaker 4 (46:48):
It's just your lucky day if mother nature's helping you
out to you.
Speaker 2 (46:52):
The interesting thing here with this young fellow from Japan.
So there's no commentary. No one really expected this to happen,
I guess. And so the footage that's just come out
this morning is you can hear the race. I've never
heard a crowd react like this to the end of
a race. So it only goes for ten seconds because
that's the time it takes for the thing. But then
(47:13):
there's a giant clock that shows the crowd at the
stadium the time. Remembering that world record for eighteen and
under is ten point zero six. Okay, gout gouts PB
ten ten point one seven. He has gone lower, but
the wind was blown. All right, you ready take a look.
Listen out for the crowd in about ten seconds time.
Speaker 9 (47:37):
Up.
Speaker 4 (47:41):
Oh god, this kid's fast fast. He's so far ahead
of the rest.
Speaker 2 (47:48):
I've never heard a crowd go woo. And there it
is ten seconds flat, ten points zero zero and very
nearly became the first human to have ever walked the
Earth under the age of eighteen to have gone under
ten seconds. But he's brought it down to ten flat.
Speaker 4 (48:08):
Did we measure the wind?
Speaker 2 (48:11):
No wind, that's it. This amazing faster than gout. Doubt.
It's faster than Usain Bolt was at that age. In fact,
the faster than Usain Bolt was until he was in
his twenties.
Speaker 4 (48:22):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (48:23):
Wow, And I didn't mention this kid's sixteen. And he said,
what's the quote? Just get the quote from this young
He is obviously a humble guy. He said, quote, I'm
happy to have set a high school record. You've set
the world record. How you gotta have goals And his
goal was just to go but you wanted to get
(48:44):
into high school.
Speaker 4 (48:46):
Year seen him in Brisbane in a couple of years.
Speaker 2 (48:48):
You better believe
