Speaker 1 (00:00):
What is the charge eating on meal? What's a procedure?

Speaker 2 (00:08):
This is Roden Gabby versus the.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
World trackyd Act. Tuesday is officially underway for twenty twenty five.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Good morning, Gabby, first one of the year, and I'm
feeling comfortable and relaxed, although maybe a little too warm
and went.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Too high, a bit too toasty. Darcy, he had the
track he's on for a Tuesday.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
No, I didn't get the memo on Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
It's good, awkward, It's all like, there's plenty more Tuesdays.

Speaker 4 (00:35):
Yeah, exactly, there is.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Just be aware, like I've got trackies that don't have
the fleece lining. They would have been more appropriate.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Today.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
I wore the full fleece ones, which are good in
minus five. Yeah, but my legs are already starting.

Speaker 4 (00:47):
To sweat, but also comfy, comfy but hot.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
That's a balmy nine degrees this morning, warmer this time
than it was same time yesterday. Get a to you
wherever you're joining usm across the greatest city in the world.
Perhaps you've got the tracky decks, and perhaps you're even
stealing in bed with the with the with with a
lecky blanket on. Would you I wouldn't think so. Or
perhaps you're arriving on site to start work and as
gave you suggested TRACKI dacs with the press studs down

(01:11):
the side, so that so that you know once you've
because there's take a long work up, a sweat doing
manual labor, and then just rip them off. They're off
and away you go, Darcy. Before we get to the lunacy,
I mean everyone's getting them here in the act at
least anyway. These texts from not Donald Trump, but you
know the Australian version of him, CLIVEE. Palmer. Before we

(01:33):
get to that, would you like to hear how seven
News have opened their news report this morning. Sure something
struck me when I was listening to it. I want
you to listen to it and tell me if you
hear the same thing. Okay, well where does that come from?
All right? So this is the they do the start
they go coming up. So they've done one of their stories.

(01:54):
Let's pick it up from their second story, The world watching.

Speaker 5 (01:57):
A small Victorian town. Jury selection begins the trial of
accused murderer Aaron Pattison, The cuts behind the cash, labor details,
how will fun It's expensive promises and challenges the coalition?

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Did I miss something?

Speaker 5 (02:13):
Pattison? The cuts behind the cash labor details, that's my ears.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
The cuts behind the gas.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Spot on Darcy exactly what good? Good? I hope that's
what everyone heard, the cuts good. I can't if you
didn't hear it good.

Speaker 4 (02:34):
And if you still don't understand it, and if you
didn't hear it, I can't explain it.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Okay, I didn't hear that, but I'm understanding what you heard.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
They have wushes and things.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
On their disturbed The word cuts.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Gabby, No one heard that?

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Is that what you saying? Okay?

Speaker 1 (02:52):
All right? We're all getting these text messages from Clive Palmer.
How much has he spent on.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
These Well, I don't know how much he spent specifically
on the text, but he's spent five million on earths
across Google and Meta.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
He's a very successful businessman. He's not doing it if
he's not feeling as though or he's able to quantify
some type of return. And a lot of people don't
realize that. If you look back through the history of CLIVEE.
Palmer as a young man, he was a political lobbyist
way back in the day in Queensland and so it's

(03:29):
not like he's just shown up with a whole stack
of money and go on, might just have a crack
at this.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
He does, that's what he does.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
He has a strategy. You're saying, that's just what he does.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
He literally just splashes the cash and then goes Merwell, no,
he does.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
He has a strategy. I don't know what.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
I lived in Townsville where he had his officers, and
I don't think he has any strategy.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Well, that was funny. So that mine up there, the
Yabulu mine was going to shut down, and he showed up,
and it's a funny story. And thirteen ten to sixty.
If I've got this incorrect, he paid a dollar for
the mine, so I was about to close down. He's
had a dollar for it. He obviously reinvigorated the local
economy out there. He employed a whole stack more people,
kept the mind going for a little while, then ran

(04:10):
it right into the ground and was run out of town.
But everything he does is for a reason, In spite
of the lunacy that it appears to be on the surface, it's.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Got so much money now that I think he's just
gone a little bit silly with that.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
The thing that went most wrong for him was the
one time he did get elected, because he didn't plan
on that happening. Because whatever this wacky strategy is where
he splashes the cash is meant to have some type
of result. But that part where he got elected, he
literally he showed up. I'm not going to give the
exact number of times, but a handful of times when

(04:44):
because he just didn't have it in the schedule to
actually get it, yeah, to get elected. And so people
are coming up with a way to get back at
these text messages.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Yeah, this is actually funny. I saw this come up
on my socials yesterday because I've received four messages but
they're not from Clive Palmer, the someone else in his
party called h Fong, which is Harry Fong. So this
came up and I've seen three people share it in
my feet for anyone who's getting spare messages from Trumpet
of Patriots from Harry Fong. He is a criminal lawyer,

(05:14):
and because he's a lawyer, he has to have his
details registered with the Queensland Bar Association. So here's his
mobile number and here's his landline. Feel free to treat
he's in boxes. Say where he's treating yours, Harry Fong.
I would die to hear those voice messages that are
being left for him.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Right now, let's go to producer Chelsea for the first time.
This morning, coming Chelsea, good morning. Well there we go
at work, second day in a row.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
I can't hear her in my headphones.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Oh hang on, now everyone else can hear you as well? Hello,
there we go. Okay, he may not be up for chatting,
but if Harry Fong's keen to come on the show,
we'd love to hear.

Speaker 6 (05:57):
I just reply to his text that he's been sending.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
Oh no, no, you replied to it and won't send through.
People have tried, okay, because it's it's like it's not
a it's not a text as such, like it's like
an announcement through the service or something. So they've come
up with a ways they don't have to have people's numbers.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
We can go directly to Harry. I just be interested,
as Gabby says, to hear what type of messages within reason,
what he's getting up there.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
I'm on it.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Okay, No one holds your breath for an appearance from
Try the.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
Number, and surely it's been closed.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Down by now if he's smart, but legally apparently he's
got to have it out there, So we'll see how
long that Rod.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
And Gabby versus the world.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
If the Will Smith dands to that. It's come back
up in my socials again yesterday.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
I'm not shocked because you keep talking about how much
you love it.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Is that what happens listening to you. I'm ba Will's back.
I'm back on Will Will is back, I follow on
the socials. What's he got a new album?

Speaker 3 (06:55):
Yeah, he's doing music again. Bring back getting jiggy.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
With it, bring back Wild Wild West?

Speaker 3 (07:02):
That was any of this.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
I'll get some Will Smith out here in a minute.
He he his socials.

Speaker 5 (07:12):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
I guess you know you do have a moment where
you have to reset in life because he was he
was canceled for all intents and purposes. It was and
he's gone no, no, no, And he always his wrapping
was always clean. He never swore. He swears. I would
pay play some of his new stuff, but it may
not be radio friendly. Will what Will Smith? We even

(07:36):
still got him in the system.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
That's a good question because it doesn't come up in
the playlist very often.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
That's a good point, unless.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
I don't know, it's not one of his best how
dare you?

Speaker 2 (07:57):
There?

Speaker 3 (07:57):
We go? What about.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Where are you?

Speaker 3 (08:08):
I love that one?

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
I did a dance of this in primary school. We
all had Summis on with a p.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Where's wild Wild West? Don't have it? Don't have it? Nah?

Speaker 3 (08:20):
For good reason?

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Hmm.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Anyway, Will's cool and he's back unless you're I think
when Chris Rock was able to come out during his
stand up special was that on Netflix? And he got
to have his say and he really absolutely he took
Will down and maybe people felt as that was even
Stevens at that point. All right, good on you, Will Smith.
Now there's a cash jackpot one hundred dollars. If you'd

(08:47):
like to start your day with the cash, get ready,
we'll do that in about twenty minutes time. Rod and
Gabby's pick the riff. We'll play a snippet of a
riff you know what that is, by title and artist.
You will win the cash. That's coming up. Rod and
Gabby's pick the referevery soon. What's with a new Puma ad?

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Today?

Speaker 3 (09:01):
So this came up in my feet. It was one
of those ads that pop up before you play a
video that you're looking at on YouTube. I don't have
I don't pay for YouTube, so I get ads. And
there's a song I play for my daughter every night.
It's the belly Button Song by Coca Melon, because she's
obsessed with a belly button at the moment, and so
I was pulling that up to brush her teeth last

(09:21):
naright to distract her, and this ad came on beforehand,
and I got so distracted by the ad that she
was lying.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
There like, Hello, where's Cocoa Melon?

Speaker 3 (09:31):
Because I couldn't skip it because I'm like, this is
not right until you get to the end and then
it kind of explains itself, but I still don't quite
agree with it. So I've brought the ad for you.
It's a new Puma ad, and I want you to
watch and listen.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
I'll talk you through it wherever you're listening. That's an
annoying start because it's not the worst part. That's an
alarm sound, all right, okay. And there's a person he
looks to open their eyes. I was gonna sleep, rely.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
What is this song? Choice?

Speaker 1 (10:11):
This is a pumeraid. He's got up and he's gone
for a run, all right.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
I was gonna let that hel but I just wanted
to walk the dog.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
I'm there's a lot of just you know, guys and
girls getting up early and going for a run. Well done,
but I am I am.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
With you questioning the song choice.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
What does seem like? Hey, it's got our attention, hasn't it.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
It doesn't seem like it fits, but keep watching it.
It might explain itself.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Everyone's running in a marathon.

Speaker 7 (10:47):
Now, I was gonna put this.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
All right, And there's a mum doing the run with
the pram and there's a baby baby boy, assume I was.
I'm gonna put this guy to slop. Okay, I'm guessing
they're going feel the high of going for a run.
I'm guessing this is it.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
If you want to skip towards the end. I thought
this was a short version.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
It is going to go for a while. Skip to
the end.

Speaker 7 (11:18):
Because for the runners high humor, I can tell you
when I can tell you the original composers of that song,
we're not thinking about the runners high and nor have
they gone for a job.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Have you heard about the global pistachio shortage? No, your pistachio.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Really like I don't mind them, but I don't go
out of my way for them.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
I don't want to judge like you judged me yesterday
for my choice of university degree. I said, I have
an arts degree, and you're like, so you didn't really
go to you. I was there and I left with
a degree. That's my explanation and I'm sticking with it anyway.
So pistachio, I feel like you. You would you would

(12:09):
think that cracking the nut in half is a hass
of the shell.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Na, you're the shell with the peanut.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
You're up to the up to the shell on the pistachio.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
Oh, I don't care. I just the flavor.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
It's like it's something that I have to be in
the mood for.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
The news today, will wor Some coals have given Australians
an update after a viral food trends sparked a global
shortage of pistachios.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
What was the food trend? I didn't see that one.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Stachios became the hottest flavor in recent months. After that
do you buy chocolate trend took off?

Speaker 3 (12:38):
Oh, I did see that.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
On social media the thick bars filled with gooey green
stachio cream.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
Pistachio is like a real salty kind of flavor, right yeah,
with chocolate, i'd be right perfect.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
So one of the one of this I can't imagine.
Let me tell you things are traveling just fine. Over
at news Corp. If they've sent someone over to Jubbi
to get this thing.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
No, they have not. They had over their Sydney Easter
show last week. They had a store with all of this.
There's a light up for it. So I don't know
why they bothered to go to Dubai.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
Don't tell payroll over at news Corp that you could
have got it here, because one of the journeys has
just filed this report.

Speaker 8 (13:22):
Hey guys, Sharen here from news dot Com Todau. I
was recently in Dubai and of course I had to
get the Dubai viral chocolate. I've got the Knafa pistachio,
which is the one that everyone's raping about on TikTok,
so it was a bit of a mission to get.
It's only available on the delivery app in Dubai at
two pm and five pm.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Well, whoa, that's specific. It's very specific. It's ready.

Speaker 8 (13:46):
Yeah, Ailey missed out at two pm. They're not joking
when they say it sells out fast. And then we
try to get at five pm and we were a success.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
What is happening in the three hours between the two
times allows them to re stop?

Speaker 3 (14:01):
I was just thinking, like, they're not making more bars
between to and five.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
But they're capping the amount obviously that they release per delivery.

Speaker 8 (14:10):
So let's give it a go and see what it
tastes like.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
All right, this is causing a worldwide pistachio.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Yes, and Colson Woolies have addressed it. We'll find out
how where we're at in Australia in just a moment.
The chocolate block, it's like, I guess a Cadbury block,
But yes, if you doubled, maybe even tripled.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
The thingures that is amazing.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (14:37):
It takes a bit, but there is a lot of flavor.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
It takes a bit.

Speaker 4 (14:41):
Is that.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Is that the review that you buy chocolate company? You're
looking for it? Because god takes a bit. But I
went all the way? Did you buy to get this?
So I better act cool if I want my expense
claim in payroll to be sorted out. So here we go.
Less said it has quote a great supply of pistachio
available to cope with the growing demand for customers. We've

(15:06):
seen a noticeable trend and customers seeking pistachio flavored food items.
There are others.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
I've think there's pistachio ice cream.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
And we are committed to offering a wide range of
products in this flavor for everyone who enjoy. Will wors
has said they're also unaffected. Australia. Australia, Yeah, Australia. Yeah,
well well done everybody.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
We beat the world, Rod and Gabby versus the world.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
Thank you, Darcy. Good morning everyone. If you're joining us
like me, you're counting down to the next break. And
we established that we have a public holiday Reconciliation Day
in five weeks. We can't wait for that. So Darcy
gave us the news yesterday of tourism spiking, and in
spite of that cyclone, Gold Coast had their best Easter
visitation numbers in history. That's so keen as a nation,

(15:52):
we are just to get away. Let's go overseas today,
Let's go to Spain.

Speaker 4 (15:58):
How are we looking not as good as the Gold Coast?
I'm guessing just as of recently declared a state of
emergency because they've had massive power cuts on over twenty
percent of their power capacity, and so they've had the
Madrid Tennis open on right now that's been canceled for

(16:20):
the foreseeable future. I'm sure it's going to get back
up and running very soon.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
But I just feel for anyone who has planned a
visit to Spain spending all thems ah the other there's
more of it. There's a much bigger problem. There's a
bigger problem than no power. So riots would be over
the top, but certainly protests are going on at the
moment because the locals are so angry. There's no cap

(16:47):
on tourism, and everyone loves going going over to Majorca
and Barcelona and these famous places that you hear about,
you grow up hearing about for your entire life. So
people are going there and the locals are little channing go,
oh my god. You go to a lot of countries.
I thought, I feel very privileged when I was in Japan.
The number of people that would you know, come over

(17:08):
and you can tell them not from around these parts,
and they would they would say, can I help you
get where you need to go?

Speaker 3 (17:16):
That's nice.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
I felt very welcome there. I've always felt welcome in
every country that I've been lucky enough to go to.
How'd you go?

Speaker 3 (17:23):
It was great? But fifteen years ago, yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
It's fifteen years ago, they were about a billion less
tourists and they were fine to see you. Then now
they're not only are they angry about that, they also
have a similar similar that's not even close. Anyone who
tells you that our country is tracking poorly, go and
have a look at the rest of the world as
far as costs of living crisis and housing crisis are concerned,
and their housing situation over there as a disaster. So

(17:48):
you've got this incredible influx of tourists. So as a nation,
you know, shouldn't be short of a buck. Technically, you
know a lot of people that are that are struggling,
so you can understand where the frustration, the anger, and
then the subsequent protests come from. So yeah, if if
you're thinking about going over there, the power out, it

(18:08):
is probably the straw that has broken their back today.
But then we all enjoy watching the world's richest man
get a bit of reality, you know, because I think
we all assumed that if we were the richest person
and there were a bit more money than any of
the human on the planet, we would never have an issue.
And why would you create issues for yourself like Elms does.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
But I say, mo money, mo problems.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
Well he's done that. But Tesla's interesting, and I know
that his entire fortune doesn't rely upon Tesla, but it
doesn't doesn't hurt and the there's an Australian Facebook page
that watches the deliveries to Australia. They're fans of Tesla,
and so there's a there's a ship that Tesla uses

(18:52):
to send their cars arout and it's pulled up. So
it's pulled up off the coast I guess of Sydney somewhere,
and it's got the new model Y so it's it's
dropped a bunch of those off and now the ship
continues down to Victoria because they've said that there's been
a supply problem in Australia with the Tesla's.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
But I thought the purchasing was way down.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
Well one plus one moniqu will too, but sure, let's
just see how these ones that have just been delivered,
how quickly they move off for a lot. And so
I thought, well that's fine if you're looking forward to
your new model. Y, that's exciting news. Those shipping companies
they do all right. Okay, well you're a giant ship

(19:33):
moving cars. You need to be a big ship. Seeing
those ships that move the cars.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
This is not where I thought this was going.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Wait for it, We're not there yet. By D right,
the newer Chinese EV manufacturer. Yes, their value has increased. Remembering,
of course, we've learned of the last week or two
that Tesla is down seventy percent, BYD up one one

(20:00):
hundred percent. So so the year before they their first
year one billion dollars and so, and now they are
one point ninety two billion dollars, so just under one
hundred percent. They are. I don't know how. I don't
know how. They're richer than the world's richest man. By
D are doing so much better than Elon Musk. They

(20:23):
don't send their cars down to the down to the
you know, the water, and bang them on someone else's ship.
They just built the gone. We can't we can't get
enough of these to different countries. So they built the
world's biggest car shipping ship as theirs.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
How long does it take for a car shipping ship
to get to Australia from China surprisingly quick, really.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
Rod and Gabby versus the world.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
I had a lot of statistics and you go travel
time on a ship between Shenzing and Sydney Harbor. Not yet,
no one has that statistic all but it's big, so
I assume it's powerful and therefore surprisingly could before we

(21:16):
go to Darcy's News and we understand that Dado and
the Barman is not the name of a funy sitcom.
It's actually the source of a blow up. Our guys
had to blow up with the other guy. So we'll
find out what that's all about with Darcy. However, you
know that thing your washing machine does, well, Gabby has
solved the mystery.

Speaker 3 (21:35):
Yeah, the when there's one minute left on your washing
machine and so you stand there and wait for it
to god any when it's all done that it actually
takes like ten minutes. Yes, it's so frustrating, but I've
done some deep diving to figure out what it happens.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
We had time. You're standing there for ten minutes, and.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
It's been annoying me for so long, and I've found
out that no matter what kind of machine you have,
it happens and it's probably fault. So with the high
tech machines these days, they know that at a certain
point of the circle, technically there should be one minute left,
and that's why they give you that timer. But they
have to they the machine, the washing machine actually has

(22:16):
to calculate what it's doing, and if you've put too
many things in there, or you've done something to put
it out of balance, it has to try to rectify that,
to fix the problem, or to balance it out with
more water or whatever it needs to do. So it's
actually doing some calculations and it's actually trying to solve
the problem that you created, and that's why it takes longer.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
I would suggest that they have caused the problem by
assuming I'm not going to load it to the gills,
but there.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
Is seven kilo loader and you're sticking twenty kilos in.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
There if there's room to put it in there.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
The same.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
Versus the world.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Welcome back to the studio, Darcy. Peter Dutton's had a
crack at our Chief Minister and so before I hit
the button, what's happened?

Speaker 4 (23:09):
So obviously Andrew Barr I think it was last week,
responded to the job can't saying that it would decimate
our economy.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Really okay, So just going back half a fraction, Peter
Dutton said, right, forty one thousand public servants give you
the heave ho, and then anyone said that's insane and
he's more than half yeah, and then he said, oh,
not really, I'm paraphrasing, but he said, I'm gonna put
a pause on that idea where it was we're meant

(23:39):
to trust that, you know, if we did vote him
in that he would just forget about that and not
go ahead with that.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
So he came back out recently to say it was
still happening.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
I'm backing it in.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
Well, I'm sure he did, because someone asked him if
it was happening in like if it was public servant
jobs around Australia and he goes, no, no, no, just camepra.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
Ah, okay, the easy target. Okay, yeah, go on dos yeah.

Speaker 4 (23:58):
So going on from that situation, he's just called Andrew
by one of the worst economic manager's labor has ever produced,
only potentially behind Jacinta Allen, which is Victorian government.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
And that was in response to the Chief Minister suggesting that,
you know, gutting our public service would cause some type
of depression, economic depression in the act that would last
over the entire term of the next elected government.

Speaker 3 (24:28):
Yeah, that's the coming for Canberra, isn't he.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
You know what? And you know what let's say is
let's take the left and the right out of this.
Let's go and stand in the middle for a second.
And this is why people right behind David Pocock. A
lot of people didn't necessarily know who he was when
he ran as an independent, and then when he was
elected to the Senate last time round, he's got a
whole lot more attention. It'll be interesting to see what
type of share he takes this election round. I'm forecasting

(24:56):
that it will grow substantially. People are very impressed with
someone who's not beholden to one part of the party
or the other. And that's the fear because it all
people get nervous around independence, you know, go and rogue.
But someone as disciplined as Poet with the sit ups
you heard about the city, it's so disciplined he's talking
since so, David Pocock has posted on Instagram in the

(25:16):
last twenty four hours this video here and it just
reads before I hit play, punching down on the public
service is cheap politics, okay, And he's going to start,
by the way, by playing just a little bit of dato,
just saying something so that their lives are easier in
terms of their interactions with government agencies because of thirty

(25:37):
six thousand new public servants being employed in Canberra.

Speaker 9 (25:40):
Well, I think the veterans with sixty thousand outstanding competition
claims under the previous Liberal government would probably disagree. The
thing is, the public service has not been smaller under
previous Liberal governments. It's just been outsourced. In the last
year of the Morrison government, we had a shadow workforce
of fifty thousand people replacing full time public service and

(26:00):
that builds taxpayers for these contractors and consultants came to
a total of twenty point eight billion in just one year.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
Fact, that's God forbid.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
An independent just tells the truth. Oh my god. And
so that's having said that, Andrew bart suggesting that there'll
be an economic tsunami of sorts, Well, there's apparently twenty
point eight billion bucks worth of outsourcing that can go
back into our local economy.

Speaker 3 (26:31):
So whether they're employed in the public service or not,
they will probably still be.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
Employ well, that probably makes me nervous. Let's just stay
the course. Yeah, okay, okay, so Olli murges. We know him.
He's a famous guy.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
He's a famous singer. We've played his music here at
Hit one or four point seven. Yes, and he's done
a bit of a body transformation lately, so he is
a fairly new dat. I believe he's got enough the
one on the way or just had another baby, second baby,
and he people are saying he had a bit of
a dad bod going on. So he's undergone a full

(27:10):
body transformation. He has been hitting the gym hard. He
has been putting photos and videos up on his socials
of him doing his weights and his workouts, and he's
going hard for this body transformation. And he has recently
put up some before and after photos to show his progress.
And it's really interesting the reaction that they have received.

(27:33):
I want to get your genuine reaction first, and I'm
going to see if that folds into what has been
happening across the world.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
I have a genuine reaction for better or.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
You haven't seen this yet, so but I reckon I
could predict what your reaction is going.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
To be, right and are you basing that on what
the reaction of the general public has been?

Speaker 3 (27:57):
No, just on you, okay, and I reckon, I know
exactly what you're going to say.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
Is the reaction of the masses to visit.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
I'll tell you after you react. So have a look.
So this is I will put it up on our
socials as well, so you can have a look as well.
Has gone from dad Bod.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
Have a look. Okay, I'm opening here and goodness, creatious,
good for him, Well done, sir. That well, what other
reaction could there? Guys in great nick that's said, that's
a pretty fit dad. The before and after photo that
I'm looking at the Dad Bod I'll trade, I'll trade

(28:40):
my body.

Speaker 3 (28:41):
He looked very well. He looked very good before.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
He was in good you look, you can tell he's
done some he's been to the gym before anyway.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
Oh yeah, he was still fit. But now he's like.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
And I can see this is the result of cardio.
His muscles were there. You can see that he's got
some definition dad Bod style, and so he looks like
he's dropped fifteen to twenty kilos and it's it's certainly
revealed what was below what might be a dad bod
layer right right right? That was in great show.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
So before or after? Which do you think is the better?

Speaker 1 (29:18):
Well, I suppose if I looked like him afterwards, you
would see more photos of me on social media in
just my undies.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
In the change you going for the after? You love
the after? You think the after is like he has
worked hard for this and he deserves this.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
As I said before, I'll trade this current rig for
his before photo. His before is pretty good.

Speaker 3 (29:39):
Yeah, but definitively which is better? Don't see the fence here?
Which is better for you? You personally? Which do you
find more appealing?

Speaker 5 (29:52):
Is?

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Do I take him? Get into account the type of
maintenance required. No, mean, I was going to have this body.

Speaker 3 (29:58):
It's not about you. What about you look first? Which
do you find would be the more attractive physique?

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Oh? Mate, the after?

Speaker 3 (30:08):
So you are one hundred percent yes, on par with
the world's reaction for men. So it's really interesting. There
has been a really really clear divide between men and
women when looking at these photos, alright, and twenty percent
of men like the before. That's an eighty percent like

(30:30):
the after, And it's perfectly opposite when it comes to women,
twenty percent like the after and eighty percent like the
softer dadbod is what they're calling it. But it's a
fit dadbod, all right.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
There, it is a fit dadbod. There are there are
winners and there are losers. Here the loser is only
murseed because he is absolutely bent his back to get
in this type of nick. That said, if he was,
if his motivation was to do it for his own health,
then it doesn't matter what people think. So well done. However,
if he knew this before he started getting up really

(31:04):
early and going to the gym, gifty had.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
Thousand times women preferred about before.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
This is a devastating day for him.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
He raised last hours of sleep for nothing.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
That dad bots. If you're with me, today's that day's.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
Rod and Gabby versus the world.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
I thought last night. In fact, thank you to our
fantastic guest that joined us on the show yesterday, Roger
Corsa from the floor. That was a huge success last
night on its first night on the TV. Master Chef
was back, Poe came on the show, and of course
Dancing with the Stars or should I say I skipped ahead?
Farmer wants a Wife has already been on for a week,
and I thought, well, there you go, all the new
shows are on. And then in the midst of it all,

(31:44):
the Dancing with the Stars trailer for this season popped
on the Telly last night.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
Yeah, I was watching Farm Wants a Wife and up
at popped. I was like, we already knew the lineup right,
like we had a few weeks back, but I'd forgotten.
So it was really see who was on there?

Speaker 1 (32:02):
And so if you two have forgotten and it is
they invest so much these are there. Once upon a time,
drama was the most important thing for the networks, but
reality and reality contests what it's all about. Each network
has two or three a year, that's it. And so
they go hard on these trailers like they're cinematic to
a point. And so this one, this one opens with

(32:25):
a drone shot at night over a city that's a
little bit of London, right, It's got a Bond type
theme music about it.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
And who hosts this Sonya Krueger and Chris Brown, Doctor
Chris Brown, the Vet.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
Get Darryl back, No, get that trending everyone hashtag get
Daryl Back. That sounds like it didn't back at him?
Bring Darryl back.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
He was so bad. That's why they got rid of him.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
They couldn't go live, they couldn't continue to do the
show live for of Daryl going row the king of
Australian live television. Daryl Summers couldn't go on live TV.

Speaker 3 (33:00):
And you're saying bringing that that's.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
What made it great, That's what made it most watchable
for me. All Right, So doctor Chris Brown's here with Sonya,
who wants the.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
Dancing with the Stars trophy so bad.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
But waltz in here and take it. Yeah, Okay. So
it looks like they're in a museum and there's a
glass box that would have had the trophy in there,
and it's been stop smashed into and now there's a
lineup all with the Dancing with the Stars contestants, and
Sonya's accusing them.

Speaker 3 (33:26):
It's a lineup of the lineup stealing.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
The mirror Ball trophy. It's a great, beautiful trophy.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
Step forward.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
Why did you do it?

Speaker 8 (33:35):
Me?

Speaker 1 (33:36):
Johnny Rafter, Rebecca Gibney. I don't know I've ever seen dance,
but I just feel like, as being a lifelong Thespian,
that she would know, she would have she would know
her way around the dance floor.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
I think she is going to be great. Like normally
the older actresses, actors, reality stars, celebrities are the wild
card that you don't expect to get to the end.
But I think she is going to be phenomenal.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
Interesting. We must have a look at the betting Oddsbecca,
you can bet on these kinds of If you can't,
there's some bloke in the Northern Territory will take your money.
Now want I've been about love this whole time. Andrew
Geez looking good, isn't he?

Speaker 3 (34:18):
I mean sosher. He's never been able to be on
the show before because he's been with The Bachelor on
Channel ten. But now The Golden Bachelor has gone over
to Channel seven. Suddenly they've got access to him and he's.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
Right front is hosting that as well, The Golden Bachelor.

Speaker 3 (34:32):
No he's not, Samantha Armitage is, but The Bachelor has
been canceled. He's a free agent.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
Well he looks fantastic.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
The only thing criminal about me.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
Britney Hockley.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
She does a podcast with Laura Burne who's married to
Maddie j.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
Brittany has been on the show. She was on last
year wasn't.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
She maybe without me?

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Okay, well she's lovely fake news Krueger, Michael Asher, the
news guy.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
Yeah, he's a bit of a wild card.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
He's not a world card at all. I remember when
we first learned was on we've gone. You've got to
have someone who's like you, and by like you, I
mean like me. Yeah, who if any of us got
chucked on there?

Speaker 3 (35:19):
We we need to be represented.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
We try our guts out, but it'll be short lived.
And that's what Michael's there for, all right. Felicity Ward,
the comedian, I was in Summer Bay. Kyle Shilling, he's
want of these young actors in soap opera?

Speaker 3 (35:35):
What have you got to save yourself? Look like I
need more gold?

Speaker 1 (35:39):
Yeah, susi'nil, I'm on, Susie O'Neil.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
I am interested to see how she goes because you
see a lot of Olympians and footy players that get
on there, and some of them are great and some
of them are just not. The coordination is different in
different sports.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
And also the size of the playoffs, do you know
what I mean? Like AFL players seem to do better
because they're going.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
It's not as Elena and cardio fit.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
Yeah, all right, well this looks like it's going to
be a fun show. When's this going to be on?

Speaker 3 (36:12):
They just say coming soon, don't how long? Is it's
like five Month's Wife? They're like coming after? But when? When?

Speaker 1 (36:18):
After each?

Speaker 3 (36:20):
So as soon as farm Months and Wife ends, I
think it'll be up that so maybe alongside Because Farmers
only on like Monday Tuesday night, they've got space.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
I think it's Sunday as well, but the debate messed
it up last Sunday. Anyway, if you didn't get enough
last night with all the new shows, hold your breath
another one coming. A lot of us know about the
canber Glass works fantastic.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
You've been there, Yeah, it's beautiful blowing the glass, oh
haven't you.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
It's exciting when you're down there in the heat from
the I don't know what you call that thing. I
would call it a kiln, but that would be incorrect.
A kiln is for pottery, it's for glass, Darcy cooler, cooler,
the cool and that wouldn't be the cooler, it's the hater.

Speaker 4 (37:02):
But the glass is already hot and it's got a
cool down.

Speaker 1 (37:05):
Well, clearly this is what we're talking about anyway, because
no one mentioned about this that is the better known
of the two. There's the Camera glass works. A lot
of people aren't aware of the bung Indoor Woodworks.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
A lot of people are.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
Let me rephrase that, a lot of people who don't
live in bung Indoor aren't aware of the bung Indoor
would work.

Speaker 3 (37:25):
If you've ever passed through bug indoor've ever gone to
the coast, you've probably gone into the woodworks.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
People's iconic people.

Speaker 8 (37:31):
You know.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
You talk about the region and people go, well, it's
Parliament House. People go, there's there's a big marino, and
and you need to get along to the bung Indoor
Woodworks because the courage attraction. Well for how much longer? Darcing?

Speaker 4 (37:44):
It's open till June. So the owner is unfortunately retiring
and there was no one to take it over, So David,
it will be closing its doors in June.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
I haven't had the privilege of going, and I will go,
what have you never been there? No? I can't believe it,
but I will.

Speaker 3 (38:01):
It's been there for forty years, so it's been there
my entire lifetime. Out of time and you've nearly run
out of time. But we always go in there. It's
it's like art. It's like art made out of wood.
It's very expensive, so I've never actually bought anything. Well,
there's tables and chairs, there's furniture, but there's also art.
There's like pens and box like there's a whole bunch
of things, but it's all My auntie the other day

(38:21):
and she was heading in there because she's always bought
gifts for other people from there because it is so
beautiful and iconic like that and local, and she's never
bought anything for a self, so she's liken, go get
me a pen. That's all I can really afford, but
it's worth it.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
It's stunning, something handcrafted like that. Now, all that's said,
you know, in his retirement. So does the owner just
loaded into the into the shed or is there a
runout sale?

Speaker 3 (38:48):
Well, I really hope there's a sale. I doubt it
because I think different artists have their work in there,
so they'll probably take and sell it else I'm assuming.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
I don't know, you didn't put all that time and
effort into a thing to flog at Ford.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
But I really wish they would.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
Yeah, they're not going to do it.

Speaker 3 (39:03):
I would love a run out sale.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
No, well, forget about that.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
I'm sorry I ever mentioned and Gabby versus the World.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
And were joined for the first time this morning by
producer Chelsea.

Speaker 3 (39:13):
Good morning.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
Hello. This is great timing. I know that how long
have you and Jared been together for?

Speaker 6 (39:18):
Well, I was telling Gaby this yesterday, but Jared and
I actually dated for about two years and then we
broke up for three years, and now we've only been
dating for five months.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
So you were childhood sweethearts though.

Speaker 6 (39:30):
I went to high school together, and then yeah, started
dating when we were nineteen.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
I think a lot of people would say that's actually
and I'm sure.

Speaker 3 (39:37):
Smart, yeah smart. It was really great, I.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
Think, so. Yeah, perspective in life and all those sorts
of things. And this time round different.

Speaker 6 (39:46):
Different to you when you're at school, so different.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
Okay, so this is good timing. You're five months into
the second round and Gabby arrives with the secret to
a successful marriage and your this we're not talking marriage,
just not just yeah okay, but you could apply this
to your relationship wherever you are.

Speaker 3 (40:03):
You definitely could. And this is actually advice coming from
a couple who have defied the Hollywood stereotype and have
been together since nineteen ninety nine. And we're talking Sarah
Michelle Geller and Freddie Prince Jr. So they met on
the set of I Know What You Did Last Summer.
They then went on to film Scooby Doo together. They
lived in Australia recently because I don't know, I Know

(40:24):
You Did last summer reboot was filming here and it's
going to release soon. And they've been together for a
really long time. They got married in twenty in two
thousand and two. They've got a couple of kids. They're
doing well for Hollywood standards, right, And you say it.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
And I go, I knew that. But for whatever reason,
I don't know why she's Buffy. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (40:44):
Yeah, and she's going to be part of the Buffy
reboot too, by the way. And then he was She's
all that like, he was like a Hollywood heart throw
back when they got together. Anyway, so they've come out, well,
she has come out with the secret to their successful marriage,
because I think they'd get that question, being that they've
been together for so long in Hollywood.

Speaker 1 (41:03):
Yeah, and the pressures in Hollywood are different to the
real world.

Speaker 3 (41:07):
Yeah, exactly, right, exactly Freddie Prince Junior. So the secret
to their very happy.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
Marriage, this has happened more quickly than I realized here
we go, is.

Speaker 3 (41:21):
That they have separate bathrooms. And I get it. I
actually love that. I get it, so never I use
separate bathrooms. He has the en suite, and I have
taken over the bathroom. But I've taken over the entire
mirror cabinet, the entire vanity, two cupboards and three drawers
plus some in his bathroom. So I get it. Like

(41:44):
sharing a bathroom when I've got all of that stuff. Yeah,
it's been possible.

Speaker 6 (41:49):
I've done the same thing in our in our new house.
It's the first time we've ever lived out of home together,
and I have taken up the bottom drawer of the
our on sweet bathroom, and I also have the other bathroom.

Speaker 1 (42:03):
Way to manage expectations, so Jared doesn't know another world,
you know what I mean? And so we walked straight
into this. How it is very very smart from you,
and look on behalf of the male populace of the Capitol.
And I do this from time to time. And if
I am miss speaking of thirty and ten sixty year
welcome to correct me, But we don't care and we
don't understand any of this. But I know my wife

(42:23):
is listening and she is absolutely agreeing because we have
one of those vanities with the two sinks. Not enough No, No,
my own sink apparently is not enough.

Speaker 3 (42:32):
Far enough away.

Speaker 1 (42:33):
I'm not I'm not far enough away. Now where were we?
Because this time twenty four hours ago there was a
little bit of Channel nine's switchboard went down.

Speaker 3 (42:47):
I hadn't paid their telecommunications bill.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
Why don't know what happened? And I assume it's back up,
but no, it was down. And so any of you
know those shows that they had on yesterday and their
stars were, you know, doing the media appearances in the rounds. Yeah,
there were poor publicists around the work for Channel nine
around Australia, scrambling calling mobile phones and linking all sorts
of things up. And fortunately a fantastic producer, Chelsea. You

(43:10):
got a hold of Roger Corser as we were about
to play the Liberals video that is causing controversy this week. Yes,
so we didn't get to hit play because we had
a great chat with Roger. You can get that on
the podcast. Rod and Gabbie versus the world wherever you
get your podcasts, So if you weren't with us twenty
four hours ago, one of the I suppose the scene

(43:31):
fillers for the film thought she's an Australian girl.

Speaker 3 (43:36):
She's an extra.

Speaker 1 (43:37):
Okay. People thought, well, you know, I guess the casting
guys who did the ad for the libs now I's
going to recognize her. They banged her on there and
people recognized her.

Speaker 3 (43:45):
I didn't get why people are upset about it.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
So you well, I guess she is portraying a suburban wife,
mother nurse who's struggling with the cost of living, and
in real life she is making bank not.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
Necessarily she is.

Speaker 1 (44:01):
People looked at up. Okay, I think she has a
she has a business. She makes the yoga mats. She
makes fancy yoga mats, and famously they're the same. These
are the yoga mats that Megan and Harry sat on
during some something where they were sitting.

Speaker 3 (44:20):
She's doing it right, right, So okay, she's doing okay.
But this ad is very obviously employing actors great like
there was an ad recently where one of the party's
volunteers was pretending to be a trade in it, and
that was a bit more controversial because they looked like
they were just walking the streets and talking to the community,

(44:42):
and so it was meant to be real life.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
You've nailed them, and so that's.

Speaker 3 (44:45):
The difference between that and this. This is obviously acting.
This is a dramatization.

Speaker 1 (44:50):
We covered a controversy three or four weeks ago at
the very beginning of the campaign where one of the
candidates for one of the southern electorates I think in
Victoria was talking with a tradeing. It was one of
those montages. So again it's not like the trading is
giving that person an endorsement, but it was literally the
guy's press secretary, like with a high his vest. But

(45:10):
then we learned he owned a ute and does a
little bit of work on the side, so maybe he
could have qualified as a trade so but still got
away with it. Yeah, so I'll have a quick look
at the ad and you tell me whether or not
the actress from Thor has misled the public or whether
or not people really think she is an actor. This
is this is the ad the libs are running, and

(45:31):
it starts with elbow on the TV in the living
room and he's saying.

Speaker 3 (45:36):
Something under alone something all right, let's dig in.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
Funnily enough, The actor playing her husband is her real
life husband. Oh, really interesting.

Speaker 3 (45:46):
That is an interesting fact.

Speaker 1 (45:47):
But he is not a trade and in this she's
dresses a nurse. He's got a hive views best and
not a vest kept the best. Yeah, yeah, he's got
he's got the gear. Yeah, she's gone to reach for
a bottle of chardonah, and it's disappeared and been replaced
so straight away does not seem like a real situation.

(46:09):
And it's been replaced by some graphics that read grocery
prices plus thirty percent? What country is this film? Then, thought,
they're looking at one another. They can't believe it.

Speaker 3 (46:25):
When the wine go, where the wine go?

Speaker 1 (46:27):
Hey, sweetie, let's say that film. Now their daughter has
reached to use the iPad. Yeah, it's disappeared into thin
air and been replaced by a graphic that reads education
expenses plus seventy percent. I'm not laughing about that.

Speaker 3 (46:41):
No kid is doing homework at the dinner table.

Speaker 1 (46:43):
She was messing around on that iband.

Speaker 3 (46:44):
She was just watching YouTube.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
She was playing Handy Crush.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (46:51):
Nor the keys have disappeared to the Okay, this ad,
we're joking with this. It's terrifying. I tell you what,
if you can have a crack at the ad labor
do because it doesn't make you look good. This is
frightening stuff. They have not checked the statistics.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
Where's mom?

Speaker 1 (47:08):
Mom's disappeared? This ad is diabolic.

Speaker 3 (47:14):
Hole, please so dramatic.

Speaker 1 (47:18):
It's dramatic.

Speaker 4 (47:19):
Extra shift again tonight, sweetie in.

Speaker 1 (47:21):
Family Incomes, got to pick up an extra shift.

Speaker 3 (47:27):
I don't I get what they're trying to push.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
Scare the Jesus out of you.

Speaker 3 (47:32):
Well, scared tactic for sure, mission a company. They're obviously
actors like this could be Final Destination, the.

Speaker 1 (47:39):
Sequel Final Destination. It's scary, but I'm gonna look that up.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
Day versus the.

Speaker 1 (47:47):
World Darcy in the nrl W which starts much later
in the season compared to the NRL games that we're
into round six or seven now, I think the players
are displeased with the announcement of state of origin yesterday.

Speaker 4 (48:03):
Yevil, it's now going to be their season opener instead
of being with like embedded in the season. Yeah, yes,
that's not much of a bill there, no exactly. So
they're going to start off I don't know. Well, we
were just talking about it before, but it's going to
change the whole season for them. Really, it's the biggest game.

Speaker 1 (48:21):
It's an exhausting.

Speaker 4 (48:21):
Start, exactly start.

Speaker 3 (48:23):
Yeah, both captains from New South Wales and Queensland have
both actually banded together, which is unusual to ask for
a schedule change to either bring the NRLW season forward
or to push the NRLW State of Origin back because
they're not at peak strength, peak performance until they've at
least had a few rounds of NLW under their belt.

Speaker 1 (48:44):
It's a very smart point. Origin is the showcase to
the world, yes, of the Australian version of the game. Yes,
And if you're not at the heart of your powers
A and B, you're not paid enough to be trained
twelve months a year like the men, then that is unfair.
And so I think the solution because it is important

(49:06):
to keep both Origin series in the same yes, part
of the year, agreed. Because it's Origin season's Origin season,
you've got to start the season earlier.

Speaker 3 (49:16):
Yeah, I agree in ERLW, why not start the season earlier.
It doesn't make sense like if the finals don't match up,
it's not as big of an issue as not having
games preceding that is such stut of origin.

Speaker 1 (49:28):
A unique thing to say, because in any other code
of any other sport anywhere, in the World Finals time
is the most important time. With rugby league in Australia,
origin most important time. I would suggest that the Origin
Series is bigger than the Grand Final.

Speaker 3 (49:43):
I agree. And so they've had to have like Origin
camps to actually get all of the players there to
do selection because they can't do selection throughout the season
like they would for the last six to six games
of the NRL.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
So who's fit.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
It's just yeah, exactly, improve it.

Speaker 1 (50:00):
Okay, we can do it a few laps. Whoever pulls
up sore, you're out.

Speaker 3 (50:03):
So it's a lot on the body, it's a lot
of stress on the brain as well.

Speaker 1 (50:08):
You ever do this when you're in high school, you're
eleven and twelve predominantly, and you had to ask for
an extension.

Speaker 3 (50:15):
Oh my god, I hated that so much.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
I hated it, but it was also a relief. But
it was also just the delaying of the inevitable.

Speaker 3 (50:20):
Because you just procrastinate, correct because you had more time, right, and.

Speaker 1 (50:24):
So is a request to move it later in the
season essentially, not just asking for an extension. No, because
you're in better nick by the time they play.

Speaker 3 (50:31):
You have no choice but to be preparing in the
lead up. If it is within the season.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
Yes, good points. So it's not as bad as an extension.
If you're listening now our kids and you're thinking an
extension is the solution, I'm here to tell you. You know,
she we've been holding our breath to go and ride
some water slides.

Speaker 3 (50:51):
Well, don't hold it any longer because you will lose
out on oxygen.

Speaker 1 (50:56):
Don't say it. Don't say it's over.

Speaker 3 (50:58):
It's over.

Speaker 1 (50:59):
Okay, said it? Well, sorry, take that back. Okay. So
we saw footage and the report from Canberra Times late
last week and then a subsequent report over the weekend
Meek and Dowd. He's been doing a great job following
this and the video is what it is. The footage
is diabolical. We'll review that in just a second. But

(51:21):
the place has been trashed, big splash. You know, we've
seen videos come out of urban explorers going in and
it's an interesting thing. The concept with the urban explorer,
do not touch anything. We are here to capture a moment,
a snapshot in history and then leave.

Speaker 3 (51:38):
And they thought it was an abandoned water park when
this Urban explorer filmed it only like four or five
weeks ago that we looked at and then was told
that it's actually not abandoned. It's just under repair and
it's a waiting parts or whatever. And they had to
apologize like, we're so sorry. We went in there. We
thought it was done and we said, well, well no

(51:59):
it's not done.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
No, but we could hardly blame them on a second.
So the footage of this stuff, you can see it
at the Canberra Times here big Splash is looking worse
for where the entrance area where you would normally go
in and get your tickets, the windows have been smashed in.
That's right. The pools are empty, we know that. Oh

(52:20):
but the big Kangaroo.

Speaker 3 (52:22):
The pools had a bit of water in them when
the Urban explorer went in there the other day, because yeah,
but there was some water because it was algae and
it was all green and mushy. So they've drained the
pool since then.

Speaker 1 (52:33):
Well, the kidding the baby pool, you know, the little
kid's pool, that big pink kangaroo is now in the
big pool. It's not meant to be there. So these
vandals punks have ripped this place up and it absolutely
does look destroyed. A lot of the glass and the
windows have been broken. And oddly the reporters and I
don't know if you've been there today or yesterday because

(52:54):
I haven't checked, but was left like this four days,
big hole cut in the fence, not boarded up. And
so the report from Megan was that a Facebook page
was set up and here's the quote from the article,
Big Splash has been trashed, with the purported business manager
of the mcquarie water Park claiming the vandalism means the

(53:14):
facility will be quote closed for good end quote and
demolished next year.

Speaker 3 (53:22):
That is such a line. They think we're silly, who's
they well? The fact that they kept telling us that
they were waiting for parts, so we're going to repair it.
It was coming back. No one freak out. We're going
to have Big Splash next summer. And then suddenly they

(53:42):
vandalized it, so we're going to demolish it Like that
is a quick jump from vandalism to demolish.

Speaker 1 (53:50):
All right, you're not saying anything. I don't say anything.
You can everyone can think what you're thinking. Okay, don't
No one's saying anything.

Speaker 3 (54:03):
No one's saying anything, but.

Speaker 1 (54:04):
People thinking things.

Speaker 3 (54:05):
People are thinking things.

Speaker 1 (54:07):
Okay, well hold on, hold on.

Speaker 3 (54:09):
But obviously this was the plan, like demolishing it next
year was obviously has been in the works and a
plan for a while.

Speaker 1 (54:14):
No, no, no, not that we're aware of. Definitely, don't
say what you're thinking, just saying don't say anything. And
also everyone think things. Okay, So I'm going to give
you a hope. I hope this isn't false. Hope.

Speaker 3 (54:29):
Okay, So give me hope, and then it's dashed again.
This is gonna get worse.

Speaker 1 (54:33):
Okay. I want to get the right part of the article.
Meghan is right on this, she's.

Speaker 3 (54:37):
She has written quite the essay. She's all over it.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
She absolutely okay. So she's reached out to the person
on the Facebook page that said us and I'm managing
this thing right and said because in one of the posts,
this person said, listen, I can't get back to you.
I'm I mean, I don't want to get the country's wrong,
but I think it was Thailand. And she's gone right.

(55:00):
So you've put up a post saying that you've cited
this and you were here, but you're also telling me
you're in another country at the same time. What's going on?
All of a sudden Facebook page, everything on the deleted,
So perhaps that's hope.

Speaker 3 (55:19):
Don't hold your bread.

Speaker 1 (55:21):
I am holding my brad.

Speaker 3 (55:23):
You're going to pass out.

Speaker 2 (55:24):
With Rod and Gabby versus the world.

Speaker 1 (55:28):
Thank you, Darcy, good morning. If you're joining us for
the first time. This is the biggest news of the day,
is it? The green light? Is the Bluey experience in
Brisbane staying?

Speaker 4 (55:40):
Yeah, well it's staying for another year.

Speaker 1 (55:42):
I'll take that.

Speaker 4 (55:44):
We'll do six.

Speaker 1 (55:46):
Sorry it was your reaction? Is that.

Speaker 3 (55:49):
Because I didn't realize it?

Speaker 1 (55:55):
Alright, Well, let's kick up.

Speaker 3 (55:56):
I thought that the Bluey attraction was a permanent fixture,
to the point where I had organized with my family
up in Queensland and when Olivi is old enough, we
were going to go and go to Bluey's well, not
realizing that it wasn't going to be there when she
was old enough to enjoy it.

Speaker 1 (56:14):
Well, she better be old enough to enjoy it in
the next year.

Speaker 3 (56:16):
That's a long time.

Speaker 1 (56:18):
No, it's not longer. She's still very little. She will
she will love it.

Speaker 3 (56:22):
She will love it, she would, but she wouldn't remember it.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
That's a problem, isn't it?

Speaker 4 (56:25):
With five it was crazy how they had They had
two hundred thousand people turn up on eighteen million dollars
in revenue.

Speaker 3 (56:34):
But permanently, what are you doing?

Speaker 4 (56:36):
I feel like it's like they're kind of saying is permanent,
but like they're gonna renew it every year or something
to make it better, and that's what I'm assuming.

Speaker 1 (56:44):
Well, the interesting thing with these theme parks, and this
is obviously on a micro scale, is like anything, do
you build it to last or do you build it
because you know that it's temporary and so they won't
have constructed it as a forever thing. It'll wear out,
do you know?

Speaker 3 (57:02):
It's okay? That's like when you first move out of
your parents' house and you get all secondhand furniture, and
as you go, as you can afford it, you replace
each little bit, so like you get a couch here,
and you get a couch there, and then you get
a dining table, and in ten years time, suddenly you've
got a house full of beautiful furniture. That's all they
got to do?

Speaker 1 (57:20):
What an analogy?

Speaker 3 (57:21):
Every year they just upgrade a little bit and we're
good to go.

Speaker 1 (57:25):
Yes. Yes, this multi million dollar thing that is Bluey
is just like when you move out of your house
to the first time, swing by the Salvos on the
way to your new sharehouse and you just pick up
a cout.

Speaker 3 (57:39):
Exactly, it's exactly.

Speaker 1 (57:44):
It's TRACKI dact Tuesday. We're gone too early. It's not
cool enough to be wearing the tracksuit legs, the sweating
Chelsea as a new producer from Perth, you were afraid
that it was going to be too cold for you.
Here you're doing it easy, mate.

Speaker 6 (57:55):
Yeah, I said earlier. I'm getting used to this weather.

Speaker 3 (57:58):
You wanted to get cold?

Speaker 7 (58:00):
Here we go game, I wait, wait for it.

Speaker 3 (58:03):
I love you said that because when we get to
like minus nine, we're bring that audio back.

Speaker 6 (58:08):
I just don't even think that that is going to happen.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
Yeah, it's a wild scene when it does. But anyway,
we'll see where did you you've seen there's a kid
who's talking backwards, which is a challenge and a fun
test when you're a kid. But he's doing it like
you and I speaking normally. Now.

Speaker 6 (58:25):
Yeah, so his brain just like he can just there's
a word and he can just say it backwards without
even having to think about it, Like my dad does
this thing where you can give him any math solution
and he will be able to solve it within like
a second. And I'm just like, how do your brains
actually work like that?

Speaker 3 (58:46):
They need to be studied. Yeah, yeah, people, it is.

Speaker 6 (58:51):
Yeah. This kid can talk backwards and not even just
words sentences.

Speaker 3 (58:56):
Say roden gabby backwards.

Speaker 1 (59:00):
Ebag nah door Oh wow, but I mean it's not fluent,
is it.

Speaker 3 (59:06):
No, but you did it better than I expect.

Speaker 1 (59:08):
So chooday backwards go.

Speaker 3 (59:11):
Yad said, I did that reading it though I wouldn't
be able to do it just in my brain.

Speaker 1 (59:16):
No, okay, so we've got an example of him doing this. Yep, okay,
I've got the wrong audio gave you send me something
as to how to do a pastor hack. This is incorrect?

Speaker 3 (59:27):
Or did that to morrow? I think you are concerned
about that.

Speaker 1 (59:30):
Sorry, I thought I had this ready just one moment
here while I get the audio of the young man
speaking fluently backwards.

Speaker 3 (59:40):
I used to have a little secret language with one
of my girlfriends. With all of the kids, I wonder
if he does this like with his siblings or his friends,
so that his parents don't know what they're saying.

Speaker 1 (59:49):
Well, he's relying upon other kids being able to do it,
I suppose, and that would be a challenge. His conversations
would be slow with.

Speaker 3 (59:55):
Us, so slow.

Speaker 1 (59:57):
All right, Meet Zach, the ten year old who can
speak backwards.

Speaker 2 (01:00:04):
Hi, am anat cap. Let's try that again.

Speaker 1 (01:00:10):
Hi, my name Zach, and I can swip backwards.

Speaker 2 (01:00:13):
A ten year old with a rare party trick.

Speaker 8 (01:00:16):
Give him a word, any word, and he'll flip it.

Speaker 3 (01:00:19):
I'm gonna throw a few words at you. You ready, all right?

Speaker 2 (01:00:22):
Clock, colk, book, cook, pillow, wallots. I see the word
in my head and then I quick then flip it
and read it backwards.

Speaker 8 (01:00:31):
Al Right, how about some longer words like caravan, never, rack, swimmy.

Speaker 1 (01:00:41):
He does not hesitate. We had to stop and think
it out and really carefully. So this is exactly what
you're talking about before, Chelsea. Some people they just can
they can visualize it in a different way. We said,
all the time, everyone sees things and thinks differently. What
a what a great example of that.

Speaker 8 (01:00:58):
Kitchen that's the super color fragilistic.

Speaker 1 (01:01:04):
Here we go, all right here we go the Channel
seven news. Guino is doing a great job here.

Speaker 3 (01:01:10):
I take all, right, well it's not although he could
have just gone and I would have believed him.

Speaker 1 (01:01:17):
That's true. No one's although in the new story they
are actually putting the words up in reverse, you know,
with the graphic down the bottom of the screen, just
to prove that it is correct. It is interesting that
it is being framed as, you know, the coolest party trick,
and maybe ten years of age it is. But I
just wonder as a younger man, you know, when he's

(01:01:37):
when he's out and.

Speaker 3 (01:01:37):
About heads and someone goes, hey, what's your party trick?
And he just starts talking backwards.

Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
So let's just channel young Gabby for a moment. Take
us back.

Speaker 3 (01:01:46):
Oh yeah, I'm there.

Speaker 1 (01:01:47):
Oh you're oh yeah, he's okay, but you're not.

Speaker 3 (01:01:49):
Oh yeah, no, no, no no no, I'm just I'm reliving
my young days. I'm there. Oh yeah for me.

Speaker 1 (01:01:54):
So this young man says, check this out, I'm going
to do super califragilistic kes abdois backwards and he does.

Speaker 3 (01:02:02):
I'd be like, how many drinks have I had?

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
And Gabby versus the.

Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
World everyone's excited about Beyonce getting back on the road
the world. Beyonce, I've obviously done it accidentally at one
time and just stuck with it.

Speaker 3 (01:02:20):
He's got a little hat, so you got to.

Speaker 1 (01:02:22):
I remember when I was a kid, there was a
cartoon show on Saturday mornings called the Early Bird Show,
and and Daryl Cotton was the host, and he was
a kind of a local musician, and Anne Marie was
his co host from Agro No, this is a year
and in excess when you and so, she said, and

(01:02:45):
coming up the new clip from inks and he hard
and I've called them inks ever since, deliberately, but I
loved it.

Speaker 3 (01:02:53):
Very confusing.

Speaker 1 (01:02:55):
Beyonce is out there, and so I guess it's now,
or maybe in the last hour or two. Get if
you've got any American mates. You won't even need the
American mates acquaintances. Your feed is about to be flooded.
This is making news in America at the moment.

Speaker 10 (01:03:10):
What Beyonce's rodeo is about to begin. In just hours,
the Cowboy Carter Tour will kick off not in Texas, Texas,
but in Los Angeles with the first of five shows
at Sofi Stadium.

Speaker 1 (01:03:28):
That's so Fi Stadium. Did you see Disney put up
the Ears Tour a week or two ago? Not so yeah,
so you none of us, most of us didn't get tickets.
So you can see Tay's show and they taped it.

Speaker 3 (01:03:42):
I mean they had that up on Netflix for a
while before Disney. Maybe because I've watched.

Speaker 1 (01:03:46):
It the Ears Tour, the documentary and the performance might
be different.

Speaker 3 (01:03:51):
I just watched the performance.

Speaker 1 (01:03:53):
Maybe it's the same thing.

Speaker 3 (01:03:53):
My sister and I had a little movie night.

Speaker 1 (01:03:56):
Anyway, I saw it the other day and it's you
know the one I'm talking about. It's it's so Fi Stadium.
I don't know what they It must be similar to
the MCG. What do they hold like one hundred thousand
people in there?

Speaker 3 (01:04:06):
So it's huge, same, maybe even more.

Speaker 1 (01:04:09):
Well the thing with Taylor Swift's the Swifties, and I
bet you you had to pay for it as you
went in. But they all had wrist bands that lit
up and so and but they were controlled by some
type of you know, central light controlling system. So the
lights on everyone's wrists would make patterns or waves or
all go into the same color. Because there's got a

(01:04:30):
million different colors with the led on your wrist to
be in sync with the song, and that stadium looked insane,
so we understand Beyonce's I think that was from a
few hours ago. So probably now about she's performing at
so Far Stadium in LA and you're going to see
a lot of stuff about that.

Speaker 3 (01:04:48):
Yeah, you're definitely going to see a lot about it.
But I have seen some headlines over the last few
days to say it didn't sell very well. No, because
it's her country album that didn't go as well as
the rest. I don't know. I don't know if people
liked her changing genre, but I thought that tickets didn't
sell as well as expected.

Speaker 1 (01:05:08):
So she sings three country songs, you're gonna get all.

Speaker 3 (01:05:10):
The hits and I'm sure like it's still sold out.
It probably just took three days instead of three minutes.

Speaker 1 (01:05:14):
I don't know the rest of the story on this.
What's this NBC? Is it the Today Show? I think
they go to social media, so she hasn't even performed yet,
and people are doing that thing where you've got a
big star, they hang out in the car park during rehearsals.

Speaker 10 (01:05:31):
On Sunday, the Queen Bee giving fans a glimpse of
the stage where she set to showcase her Grammy winning album,
Cowboy Carter Don't Know To.

Speaker 2 (01:05:42):
Beyonce's return to touring already has.

Speaker 10 (01:05:45):
Eager fans buzzing, some staking out last minute rehearsals.

Speaker 2 (01:05:50):
And she's reharrassing at this very moment. It's so good.

Speaker 1 (01:05:54):
So just filming the lighting routine, sort of blaring out
of the top of Sofi Stadium is drawing a crowd.
It's a big deal over there.

Speaker 3 (01:06:04):
There are huge fans of Beyonce that would of course
go to the car park. But I found the headline
for you Beyonce's highly and tiss about it. Hated Cowboy
Carter to a kicks off today. But despite the country
album making history this year's Grammys, the pop star are
still struggling to sell out stadiums just ours opening.

Speaker 1 (01:06:22):
Who isn't for Beyonce, that's for Peter and that's.

Speaker 3 (01:06:24):
Talking about the entire tour. So some stadiums I'm sure
have sold out, but others are not, which is surprising.
But you look at Katie Perry. We're talking about her
yesterday in Australia. Within minutes we are there, we have
sold her out like Lady Gaga. Seconds it was gone,
all tickets were gone. So maybe in America it's just
a different climate at the moment and they just don't

(01:06:45):
have the funds or want to be gone a concerts.

Speaker 1 (01:06:50):
A super smart point. America is in a spot.

Speaker 3 (01:06:53):
Come to Australia, Beyonce, you won't.

Speaker 1 (01:06:55):
Have a problem filling every single seat of any stadium
that you decide to, you know, playing a scar. But
the Yanks have it too good.

Speaker 3 (01:07:03):
I mean they've got everyone, They got every one the time,
so they're just like they're picking and choosing.

Speaker 1 (01:07:08):
They're like, man, cowboy can know about it, wait for
the next tour. Yeah, well I said that. I said
that with Michael Jackson. So that's a sobering tho
