Episode Transcript

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 world.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Yes, yes, it's you know. I'm back on fire in
the footy chips.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
You're talking about them again.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Good mon, Gabby, good morning. Welcome Renee, covering for Cake,
covering for Darcy. Thank you you're just covering for Darcy.
Thank you so much for the early start from you,
and welcome whatever you're joining usrom across the greatest city
in the world. And thank you to the Doffs. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
I was gonna say you kind of back to the
Penriff Panthers because you went for them a few times
this season and they have not come through for you.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
The Pennies. What are the ladises in the news? Renee?
Six in a row?

Speaker 4 (00:51):
Yeah, I think I was saying just before that.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah, they've lost.

Speaker 4 (00:56):
It's the first time they've lost five in a row
since early twenty nineteen.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
I'm already skipping your head when they lose next week.
Six in a row?

Speaker 4 (01:03):
What is happening?

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Come turn the other side.

Speaker 5 (01:15):
The color mark.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Hat trink for the hammer last night the hammer blow
on the Pennies. And that's the first time that I've
tipped the bloody Dolphins all year, and they've won when
I've tipped them, so Gabby put the moles on me.
Yesterday I said, you can still mess this up.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
A one game down? How many to go for the weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
I think it's time for anounce my retirement from the
comp while I'm on top. Did you get in the
tips this year?

Speaker 3 (01:42):
And no?

Speaker 4 (01:43):
No, because I find like, oh, this is going to
sound so deaby downer, but it's another task, you know,
like remember to do the tipping.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Like I know, it.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
Creates lots of fun, banter and chat. Like my all
my family loves it, like they're right into it. And
but like my partner gets frustrated because my sister in
law is always up here like winning, and she doesn't.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
She just like guesses. Yeah, you know I used to
do that. I'd guess and I'd win and everyone would
get so mad at me. Yeah yeah, and then I
started guessing and losing and so I quit.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
Yeah, so you're not doing it this time?

Speaker 3 (02:14):
No way?

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Yeah, sort of stress spoken to me yesterday. Yes, I
was ready to quit, but anyway. Time. Will tell news
today that David Pocox is making blood donations and let
me tell you. I am all about this. If you
want to drive traffic to the Red Cross, they do

(02:34):
an incredible job. Yes, if I know that I can
be getting David Pocock's blood, I can't imagine a more
potent and virile sample than poets.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Don't go and ask for a blood transfusion just because
of that, those.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Specifically David pocon Yeah, I don't know if you're allowed.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
To do that.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Have you seen this man? I mean, he is the
fittest politician in political history.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Those who's an ex athlete.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah, if you're not familiar with your rugby history, you
won't be aware of the great feats that he achieved
as an Australian wallaby. So put that to one side
and just imagine he just turned up as the world's
fittest politician. Get me some of that blood.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
I'll have to tell my partner you said that, because
you know the core flutes all around town with his
face on them.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
He's got hard, hasn't he.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
My friend message me the other day saying, Oh, I
see them and he looks just like your partner, Jim Oh.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
So if he hears this and hearing all.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
Your talking up, David Pocock he's going to be stoked
this morning.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Let's get your man in here.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Suddenly, rod'sake, does he donate some of that better?

Speaker 1 (03:39):
I was going to suggest we get Polly in here
as well on race him. But anyway, that's something that
we might well do later in the campaign. On a
far more serious note, we have discussed this with Lewis,
your predecessor in the news seat here with the Roden
Gabby show. He was eternally frustrated by the fact that he,
as a gay man, wasn't well to donate blood. He

(04:02):
wanted to donate.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
Yes, well, that's what David Pocock is saying. He's making
the point that there needs to be an end to
discrimination when it comes to blood donation in Australia. We're
always hearing, you know, from different places, how many donations
we need. They're always in need, right like this constantly.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Portion of the population that can't donate.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
Yeah, and so David Pocock is echoing, you know, the
same message that Louis was that if you're in a
healthy gay couple and you can't donate, he said, obviously
if there's any health concerns, and that's a separate thing,
but there are so many people though, who can't donate
who want.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
To that it blows my mind. If there are health concerns,
that is just a blanket deal for everyone. So when
we say everyone, let's start including everyone, well done?

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Outdated law? Isn't that came here back in the eighties
when there was that huge fear around HIV. That has
come a long way since then. We have so much
more education and the blood is tested so vigorously before
peene put into anyone else's body.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yeah, silly, No, It's one of those catch up things
and it is time that we catch up and probably
talking a lot of sensing and Poey for PM, you
know what, forget about the handouts, we get about the
cash incentives, Poe's blood for everyone?

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Are we confusing everyone for the election coming up?

Speaker 1 (05:18):
As not an option? As a nation we would be stronger?
How strong would we be? And what sort of abs
would we have? Fantastic to see you again in half.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
An hour, Rod and Gabby versus.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
The world Coke, cans and bottles have got our names
back on them.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
I noticed, Yeah, they're doing that campaign again where they've
got a bunch of names on there. I'm a bit
confused though, why Rod has not made an appearance. I
get Gabby Gammy never is found on anything ever in
the history of my Oh.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
You don't you see human life? Get why it's not there?

Speaker 3 (05:55):
Because it's never there.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
You don't get it.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
I know how you go to the news agents, They've
always got those like mugs or books or key rings
or whatever. Not once have I ever found my name?

Speaker 1 (06:04):
No, Rod's rare is ah, well, Robs always before you.
Ron's probably before us as well, and Rod's if you're listening,
you're with me, you know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
I thought Rod would be more common.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
It's not that common, but it would exist more than
Gabby with that eye. True, I had a.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Even gabrielbo can't find it anywhere.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Why was I drinking a coke the other day? It's
very unusual anyway, I must have been, and it said
heart throb on it, and I felt very conspicuous covering
the can with my hands, like, well, I don't know,
I don't know, guys, but I certainly felt like everyone
was looking at.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
It's not the worst you could get, because there are
some interesting additions. I'll tell you about the worst in
a second. But there is some ones like Boomer Bogan
and Queen Bee that has been added to the can,
so you could have one of those. There's some unconventional
spelt names like Georgia spelt r ja or Julie as

(07:04):
spelt g u I l i A, but there ain't
no Gabby like that's that god that is that's bizarre.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
But as we've discussed, you gotta you gotta cater to
the Gold Coast, mate, you do well. Talking to my
in laws.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
They're catering to older men who like to ride bikes
because they've got mammal, which is an acronym for middle
aged man in Lacra. So that's on one of the cans,
but the one you're going to be really upset with
if they hand this over to you.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Champ, Oh, I know, why do they do that? Why
do they do that?

Speaker 3 (07:41):
Jen Z think it's an insult. You think it's an insult,
an insult, but they've put it on the can thinking
that people are gonna love drinking from that bad boy.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
I've said it before. Unless you are a former world
boxing champion, you should not be called champ. And again,
unless you're sending those cans of coke specifically to boxing
gymnasiums and sending ghoulia specifically to the Gold Coast. These
cams are upsetting people. I owe you an explanation. I

(08:13):
didn't think about it. Gabby. You sent me a text
while I was driving, and it said on my way
because if we're going I was running late, well barely.
But if we're going to arrive at a time that
we're not normally here, we let one another know that
there'll be done freaking. I'm not still asleep.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
Oh no, I haven't hit a kangaroo. That's my main thing.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Well, this is the thing I was like in a
driving simulator this morning. I mean not in reality, well yeah,
in reality. So while I was driving, it was it
was comical the number of animals that were I felt
were waiting in the bushes hearing me come and then
going did straight across.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
I had that a few times, like I had a possum,
I had a rabbit, and I had a fox this morning.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Foxes are busy, but just to mix it up today,
and we all have kangaroos on the road at different times,
but particularly when you're traveling before four o'clock. And but
this guy, he was you know, the metal barriers sometimes
on our regional road. So for me out in the
Yas Valley or for u Bung and doorway, yeah whatever,

(09:11):
those those metal barriers are.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
Yeah, when there's like a bit of a drop off,
so they put the barrier up.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Yeah, I don't know there's no drop off, but you
don't want to go off into where the trees are,
you know what I mean, it's disaster. Well, this character,
this kangaroo, he wasn't leaning against it with his elbow
and his feet sort of crossed across one another. But
at a glance, he looked.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
Like he's like a tool bar table.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yes, yes, yes, yes. He was so casual about it
because he had nowhere to go because he's got the
steel barrier, or me in the road, here we go.
But he didn't flinch. He wasn't leaning against the barrier,
but he looked like it, and he conducted himself like
he was to and he just he just stood there
and that was fine. And then amongst all that, I
get a text and your phone talks to you now

(09:55):
in the car, yeah, and it just goes message from
Gabby on my way and then my phone or the car,
I don't know who's doing it. Someone was involved now
uses AI and it gave me It says do you
want to respond? But it also chucks up a bunch
of options on the screen yep, And so I just
hit the first option and in response to on my

(10:15):
I'm on my way, you received a text from me
that just said yay exclamation mark.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
And by that point I was driving and I get
this text. I'm like, that's weird. That's I don'tink you've
ever responded it that way before.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
That's how pumped I was to get this over and
done with. Yo, let's get here. It's Friday. We got
some leave booked in. On a serious note, thank you
so much for the last six or seven weeks that
you've been with us on Hit and if you came
across for a mix. This is the sixtieth show for
the year. It's been a really big start and we

(10:48):
are humbled by the welcome and the support that we've
received here on our new home. It's been a really,
really fun start to the year. But we're tired. Make
it take a bit of a break. Before we got
to the news with Renee who's covering for Darcy today
and she has the results of who's the best mob
with your communications? Tellstra opt us these guys with response

(11:11):
times when you put a complaint here, Sure you want
to give us a guest you put a complaint on,
Let's see who's the quickest and who is the worst
before we get there. Jackie from Married at First Sight.
What a character she's proven to be. She was on
the show with us last week and she's on cameo now,

(11:31):
so you can give her, I don't know, fifty bucks
and she'll give you a personalized message that you can
send to a friend or do whatever.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
Yeah, I've seen a couple over the last couple of days.
One I wasn't able to grab the audio because I
was too slow, and it was a story and it disappeared,
and it was a friend who posted it from someone
else who received the cameo, and it was a weird,
convoluted one, but it was very odd. It was someone
asking Jackie to send advice to a friend who's just

(11:59):
broken their leg. So in the cameo, she was like,
you know, just eat some salad, drink some water, you be.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Right, Okay, that's advice for life.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
It was very odd, but this one takes the cake.
So this one she actually put up on her stories
because she wanted to make an example. I'll tell you
what that example is after we have a listen. So
this is someone asked her to to cry for them
in a cameo because she's known for crying on marrit at.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
First site, right, and she said, hey, listen, if you
want a crazy cameo, I'm your gas.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
She does like to laugh at herself, but have a
listen to this one. I can't do and Darwin Schnight
and I'm gonna rest the nonsense.

Speaker 6 (12:40):
I heard.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
It's gonna be super and I've got mathmo.

Speaker 4 (12:44):
I just go, oh, guys, Jackie hair from Math, so
you can call me jack Jack.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
But the funniest bit about it, right, So in her
next post, she said, by the way, I've shared this
cameo because I just wanted to prove to you that
my crying on the show was real. I'm not able
to fake it like that. Okay, they are exactly the
her fake crying on the cameo and her crying on
the show. I couldn't find a difference.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
So the question really is is that good or bad?
So does that mean that her fate crying is so
real that that you know it's the same, or her
real crying is so fake.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
Or maybe she's just been faking it all along.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
This is too much before six.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Rod and Gabby versus the world.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
Okay, so I put a complaint in with mattel COO.
What's the average turnaround time in them getting back to me?
I would I would be hoping for same day. I'd
want to hear you sooner than that, right, Yeah?

Speaker 4 (13:49):
How long are you on?

Speaker 3 (13:50):
Within the hour? Please? Yeah? I expect a prompt respond,
I do.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
Well, if you go into the effort of putting in
a complaint, you are furious, so perhaps to rategically it's
in their best interest to let you cool down.

Speaker 3 (14:04):
That's probably a good point.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
I got some news for you. I'm only going to
fire up even more the longer you leave it.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
Yeah, I think.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
So what's the average?

Speaker 4 (14:10):
Well, the story today Telstra sorry Telstra apparently dragging its
feet when it comes to customer complaints taking nine days.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Whoa days?

Speaker 3 (14:23):
That's a lot.

Speaker 4 (14:25):
Now, apparently the industry average is six point two days.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
That's still too long, way too long.

Speaker 4 (14:31):
So Optus the only ones we've got here at the moment.
Optus clocks in and around six days, TPG in just two.
I don't even know anything about tpaching.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
That's why they've got a quick turn around time. No
one cares, very few complaints. The thing TPG what a jingle,
that's my recollection.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
But they just do they do phones as well?

Speaker 1 (14:55):
I don't know. It's a purple is it is a
purple triangle? Is that them?

Speaker 4 (14:58):
I don't even know what.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
What a slogan TPG the purple triangle? People? Do you
do phones?

Speaker 4 (15:05):
Or But they only take two days to respond to complain.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Better believe it because they've got like three complaints because
there's three customers. Oh yeah, they're going up for long
lunches over there at TPG. Then there's complaints tomorrow, still
beating everyone else by a mile. No customers. If you're
with TPG, I'm sure there's a bunch of you doing it.
So Telstra in nine days, all right, we need to
we need to get the fullest.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
Just last six days. I'm always complaining about those kinds.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
Can I think similarly to TPG, but on a different scale.
Optors aren't managing the same volume as Telstra thanks to them,
you know, losing everyone's personal information on the dark web,
and people prepared to make more effort than you. I e.
Some have left optus.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
Yeah, anyone's smart left off, just left opts straight away.
Well I have waited two years and I still say
I'm going to your.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
Being rewarded now with a somewhat quicker turnaround time from
your complaints than you would get With Pete Overton on
Channel nine last night, he was throwing to Canberra, just
doing this the Nightly Cross. What could go wrong? I mean,
it's a pretty straightforward exercise. He's put this up on

(16:20):
the screen for you, Gabby. He's peeked at goodness gracious.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
Oh, I know what just happened?

Speaker 1 (16:25):
You know when your screen just decides to split into three.
There it is, we just want one. Thanks. Here he is,
take it away, Pete, And this is pretty straightforward. You've
done this a million times. And nine's political editor excuse me,
Charles Croucher joins me from Canberra and there it is
in slow motion. A streps has just got a mind

(16:47):
of its own and burst out of his mouth midcenter.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
Who who Pete? Who is going on the news bulletin
with a lost engines mouth?

Speaker 1 (16:57):
It doesn't matter what you're doing. You could be doing
a present at work. You could just be speaking to
a group of people wherever you are.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
Remove the loss in Rodin Gabby versus the world.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
Okay, this is I didn't think of our secret to
a Successful Relationship segment that we cover from time to time.
We would be going to these next two people. And
I'm not sure which theme song to give them. I mean,
maybe it's too obvious that we give them. You tell

(17:30):
me the option is that? Or yeah?

Speaker 3 (17:35):
No, no, no, no go that's the first Please, that's.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Uncomfortable, Okay. Charles and Camilla.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
Edition Yes, So you wouldn't class their relationship as successful. Oh,
not someone you would take romantic advice from.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
We've discussed the idea of the fairy tale wedding is
just that, or the fairy tale relationship. It's not a
real thing, and if you're waiting for it, you'll end
up on merit at first, like going I no, no,
I've never been able to find anybody. You've got to
be realistic. But Camilla and Charles certainly have gone on
a roller coaster to get to where they are.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
Yeah, they've had quite the roller coaster to become a
married couple, defying all odds. So maybe they do have
the secret source, and the secret sauce is time apart.
So it turns out the King and Queen have their
own separate bedroom as well as another third bedroom that

(18:33):
they can share when they want to, but they don't
have to. So there's three bedrooms that gives them that
space required.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
What sort of communication takes place around third bedroom used?

Speaker 3 (18:44):
It's probably about three am, you are right, yeah, probably
the third bedroom.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
But that's that's what the word. That's what's called effective communication,
because if you just head into the third bedroom hopefully
and that I'm in here now, and then it's really
just a waiting game.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
You can wait indefinitely, and then bitterness starts to grow.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
Why in this bedroom because we had a deal. Idiot Anyway,
I'm channeling my Camilla all of a sudden, Well.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
Well there's another one too. Camilla has also come out
to claim that they spend significant time apart in their
separate country homes. So when he's been waiting in that
third bedroom and gets angry at her, she's like, I'm out,
I'm off to my country home.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
Well even better, he goes, that's it. I've had enough.
I'm going into bedroom two to have a word what.

Speaker 3 (19:35):
He's not even in.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
This current home. I can't wait for Sunday afternoon. Renee
from the News was with us a moment ago talking
about the significance of feats that have been achieved by
Michelle Hayman that we haven't seen by any other A
League woman in history, and so it's going to be
special a for that reason, but also that we just

(19:57):
need things to go our way, a you know, win,
and then a few other things to work out, and
all of a sudden we're playing finals and that's obviously
the goal at the start of the season. Emma Robars
is one of our midfield Is this going to be
a special weekend on Sunday to share the park with
one of the all time greats? Can you believe it?

Speaker 6 (20:15):
I can't, to be honest, It's a pretty special moment.
I mean, I think Michelle has been an icon of
football for as long as I can remember, that's for sure,
and yeah, to be holding a record like that is
pretty substantial, and yeah, pretty special that we get to
share the field with it.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
When you play for the Matildas, do you miss a
lot of games that happened throughout the season. For the
United Girls.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Oh yes, so Michelle hasn't maybe been.

Speaker 6 (20:40):
Around the Yeah no, she Luckily we have international breaks now,
so the club will go and break and we'll have
a weekend off off she's away of doing the amazing
things that she's doing with the national team. Oh great,
and then she'll come back and probably within two days
be playing for US. So her schedule is busy, that's
for sure.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
So you're to say, chilling out doing recovery while she's
off playing.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
Who's the real winner here?

Speaker 3 (21:05):
That's good?

Speaker 6 (21:06):
You would to play for the national team anywhere.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
That's all right, Wake off, let's go. I mean you
in your on your stats sheet, do have a goal?
Which isn't the idea as a midfielder. That's the striker's job,
that's Michelle's job. But is that What sort of discipline
does it take when you know you're close do you
how often do you actually get to have a shot?
Because if I were in midfielder, I promise you I

(21:28):
might not have a lot of goals, but I'd have
a lot of shots. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (21:33):
Well, it's always tempting. But in saying that, I think
this is one of the seasons whe I've shot the
most because at the least sorry, because I think when
you've got a striker like Michelle up front, you know
you just want to give her the ball because she'll
put it away. But yeah, obviously, every now and again
you got to take a shot, and luckily how I
was able to score one, which was kind of nice.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
It's a good team player, better team player than Rod
would be.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
That there's a reason I'm obviously standing in a radio
studio in my professional career in whatever. Just in quite
work too late. Real, you are being far too encouraging
and positive as a girl who grew up in very,
very cold, wintery mornings in Melbourne your first winter, you're
able to head into your second winter here in the Capitol,
and we're hearing it might be a warmer winter than

(22:16):
last time round, which means only minus five and not
minus eight. How are you coping with with that change?
And how have you loved the move to the Capitol.

Speaker 6 (22:25):
Yeah, the winter really shocks me, if I'm totally honest, Like,
I thought Melbourne was cold, but I think Cambri never
thought I'd be in the minuses and it's like practically snowing,
So definitely been a new experience. But no, I've absolutely
loved my time in Canberra. I think. Yeah, I was

(22:46):
just going to say it's it's a really easy and
lovely kind of community based place to live, and yeah,
it just made the transition so easy.

Speaker 7 (22:53):
So nice.

Speaker 3 (22:54):
Speaking of the winters, like I remember growing up, I
was playing netball while my friends were playing soccer, and
because they both winter sports, I reckon soccer girls have
it better because when you're catching a ball in the
freezing cold, that hurts like you would not believe. So
when you're in the soccer field, you don't have to
worry about that.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
Emma, was that what led to your career as a
professional athlete in soccer or internationally known as football. You
didn't want to touch a cold netball. It was really cold.

Speaker 6 (23:21):
Pretty much pretty much. I didn't want to have icy fingers.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
So before Gabby, things could have worked out so differently
for you.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
That's true, Rod and Gabby versus the world.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
How long until we actually have to pay for the eggs?

Speaker 3 (23:39):
What do you mean Easter eggs?

Speaker 1 (23:40):
Yes, I mean we can obviously the Easter Bunny will
cover the main ones, but we probably if we won't
have any extras.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
Well, we've got a week, but you don't want them
to sell out before you get in there.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
This is this is the tipping point, This is where
the balance is.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
And everyone kind of holding off for now. We bought
one weeks ago tea.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
I know that we're all holding off because there was
a video that is so you may have just heard
a fraction of it. There was a video that began
blowing up last night. Someone video the inside of their
big w. This might be Brisbane, but doesn't matter. This
is a similar story to all our big ws.

Speaker 4 (24:18):
Oo do you think that this is because the prices
were so expensive in the beginning?

Speaker 1 (24:26):
There are palettes and palettes.

Speaker 3 (24:30):
I've never seen that many chocolate e strogs and bunnies
in my life.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
That's the problem.

Speaker 4 (24:35):
And now we have so much stock that are we
going to sell it even if it's twenty five percent off?

Speaker 1 (24:42):
And so the twenty five percent off tags are on there,
and I'll be honest, I don't.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
Know about waiting for fifty year.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
It's fifty for me or nothing. And so certainly give
us some straighttweelers. Everyone knows that's my willies. Thirty three percent.
I think we've been getting it's still.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
Not enough, still not enough. I feel like an idiot.
I bought mine on like, I don't know, twenty percent
off two weeks ago more.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
But you bought it twenty percent off at Costco, which
is like, you know, eighty percent off everywhere Costco. You
can thank me for that one. Later, I took a
couple of photos of the eggs, so that's Brisbane took
a couple of photos of the eggs or here we go,
so we actually are getting down. It might will leased
to forty percent off on some of the Cadbre's. There's

(25:31):
a twenty five percent the red Chulip Bunny. You don't
hear about red chulip chocolate any other any other week
of the year. Yeah, but the red Chulip Bunny is
twenty five percent off, and so Cabri and Red Schulip
really just they can't make the plunge and go to
go to fifty.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
I was in my IgA yesterday and I feel like
they've sold a lot of their stock. Maybe they didn't
order as much, but I was looking for those like
little mini Cadbre chocolate eggs because I just needed a
little fixed IgA. Yeah, they didn't have any that's held
out of them.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
Got upset about what I said about IgA the other day,
so I won't continue. I'm just saying that getting those
little eggs Scabby may have had to take out a
second mortgage on a house. They've said too much. Again, convenience.
It's there for convenience right now, not for price. I know.
I know so here the Woolies. I snapped a pick

(26:24):
here of the Daryl Lee Bilby boom price.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
Of course, Darilie have gone half price. I know where
it's at.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
If half price is four bucks twenty five, I'm one
of those little Bilbies. You better believe you had to
hit half price because we were not paying night how
much eight dollars fifty for a Bilby?

Speaker 3 (26:44):
No chance.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
Well, the ball's in our court. If we all come
together and don't buy anything until the absolute death, they're
going to have to discount them.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
You're going to miss out at this rate.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
No, no, this is like it's like we we are
China and the supermarkets are Trump and we are in
a standoff, and we're going to hold out.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
Sooner it'll be plus twenty.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
Thank you once again for covering for Darcy today. Renee
seemed very impressed by Gabby taking today's kick it to
win its segment very seriously.

Speaker 4 (27:23):
She looks fantastic. She's got hair braids in, she's got
a jersey on, she's got a long socks like she's
ready to rock and roll.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
It certainly is the well, let's not called cultural opposite,
let's not call it the ultimate redemption arc gest yet,
but it certainly is set up to be after the
idea of the game, pardon the idea of the game
is that you kick well, sorry, I was meant to
kick the football under the roof, and then you guessed
whether or not it came down or it stayed up,

(27:52):
and you won the experience with the giants. And then
I was accused of being sexist for not involving Gabby.
So bye Gabby, Bye Gabby.

Speaker 3 (27:59):
By the way, that was when you were playing kicked
a kick in the office Queen Breaks with Darcy, and
I was never involved, and I got really upset.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
Okay, So then Gabby came out and kicked the ball
into a computer screen and then we said, ah, well,
you're absolutely set to do the game. And then yesterday,
if you missed it, Gabby kicked it over the edge
of the roof, then into a car.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
Luckily I got the height, but I didn't get the direction.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
Luckily, we installed a third wild card player, so that person, unexpectedly,
you know, won the experience. And but today you've gone
to Jersey's megastore. You've got the official player's kit here,
you are ready to play out. I'm to run out. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
I needed to take it seriously yesterday, my berks. I
think that was the problem because I was worried my
shoe was going to fly off and also go on
the roof. So I needed to take it seriously today.

Speaker 4 (28:46):
And have yah going to be damaged today? Like do
we need some bubble wrap situation?

Speaker 1 (28:52):
So wrap around Gabby or.

Speaker 4 (28:54):
Everything in the office.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
Yeah, yeah, I'm worried about other things happen.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
That's your last chance to play Rod and Gabby's kick
it to win it just a second. When scientists go
to Byron Bay, we end up with some pretty wacky research.
And so today magic mushrooms are on the menu.

Speaker 4 (29:13):
Yes they are, and believe it or not, they're being
used to treat Australians with eating disorders. So it's a
world first trial. It's so interesting. Swinburn University is holding
it using the drug through an IV drip, and researchers
say can help treat eating disorders binge eating disorders by
breaking the cycle of negative thoughts.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Swinglen Unii science kids.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
Eating disorders are a mental health disorder, so to affect
the brain, it makes sense. Microdocin has been thought to
help mental health conditions for a while, but the more
research needs to go.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
Into that, right and researching when in Byron Bay has
led to this result. It's a natural hallucinogen, I suppose,
and if they're controlling the way that it's administered, and
hopefully there's something in this redee.

Speaker 4 (30:03):
Yeah, so we'll have to wait and see. But who
would have thought, Hey.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
I wouldn't have until I saw the Swinburn science students
at Byron Bay. This is going they go back and go.
We can write this off, you know as extra.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
Well Roden Gabby versus the world.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
Roden Gabby's doing it.

Speaker 5 (30:26):
See the giants taking on the bulldogs of Saturday, April
twenty sixth at Monego.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
From Let's Cross to the car park. Here, Gabby, you
are taking this more seriously than yesterday when you turned
up to kick your footy onto the roof of the
building in a dress and sandals. Today you've got full
Giants kid on. You went to Jerseys mega store yesterday
and you look read.

Speaker 8 (30:53):
Well.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
Yesterday I was worried that my burke was going to
fly off and also land on the roof and not
come down, which no one wants. So I think that
was the distraction and this is my redemption, so I've
taken it seriously. I've got the joggers on. The only
long socks I could find were my McDonald's mcappy day
grimmer socks, so they're on. They're a good stock, and
I've got the jersey. Plus I've braided my hair to

(31:14):
really look the part, because that's you know a lot
of the girls get the hair out of their face
with braids.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
So like all out to run out Chris in Queenby
And who do you follow Giants? You're a Giants fan?
How are you enjoying the season thus far?

Speaker 7 (31:28):
It's been a good start and a good couple of years,
so we're pretty happy.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
You're right, You're right?

Speaker 3 (31:32):
Is this the year?

Speaker 5 (31:33):
Hope?

Speaker 1 (31:34):
And so you know what, I can say that to
any what I could even say that to a cart
and supporter right now. They go well, I hope, so
there's still time.

Speaker 9 (31:41):
But they didn't get to a couple of finals and
then blow them.

Speaker 7 (31:43):
So yeah, we're crossing our fingers, but we're not expecting
too much.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
Great points to the Blues. Nice work. It's very competitive
straight away, Bianchors. You know, O'Malley, who do you follow? Bianchori?

Speaker 3 (31:54):
I follow the giant.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
You're a giant as well. All right, you've obviously been
to enough games at Manka, but you're haven't had the
privilege of being on the playing surface while the boys
are warming up, have you No? It's amazing they are.
There's certainly incredible athletic care specimens. Chris, you were first through.
You get to tell us do you think the ball
will stay up, fall down or Gabby will miss the

(32:19):
roof for a second day in the row, hit a
car or a window? What are you choosing?

Speaker 7 (32:23):
So the boys came to the decision that we think
it's going to stay on the roof.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
Stay on the roof, Gabby.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
All right, I like your faith in me.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
Chris is choosing stay on the roof. Bianca. You're left
with will it come down or will it hit a
car or a window? Not make the roof at all.

Speaker 6 (32:41):
I think it'll come down.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
Okay, so bank is going with it'll come down, and
I can see the wild card is on the line.
I just don't have a third line. Daniel and Bungendore.
It means that you by default have got the hit
a window or a car or a spiky fence and
not actually make it to the roof at all. Okay,
I think we'll remember how that all works. It's over
to you car park.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
Okay, We're gonna hand the mic over to Wes. So
I've got two hands and I'm feeling really nervous now
because this is it. This is the last day. I've
got to make this happen. Ready, all right, as long
as you believe in mere we ready? All right? Okay, silence, please,

(33:24):
here we go. I got this, I got this. Here
we goof Is it going to come down? Is it
going to come down?

Speaker 1 (33:37):
Oh? My god?

Speaker 3 (33:38):
Where to go? I got it on the roof. At
least that's a win. I think it's staying. Guys on,
there is no sign of the football.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
So you reckon that stayed up there?

Speaker 3 (33:50):
You sure there is no sign of the football? What
do you reckon?

Speaker 1 (33:53):
We's that was a pretty good kick. It's yeah, not
coming down.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
It's not coming down.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
Chris and Queen Beean you congratulations, Chelsea. I'll let you
adjust your microphone. You could produce Chelsea joints for the
first this morning cracking.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
A busy, very busy. That's very morning.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
That's true. And I know you just captured Gabby's kick
onto the roof of footage just then. You can see
that footage Rod and Gabby on Instagram And if you
did dis miss it, it is the only time you'll
ever see someone lining up for a kick who uses
a golf terminology quiet police as they're about about to

(34:35):
just boot the cover off it.

Speaker 3 (34:37):
I grew up in tennis, you know, no distractions.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
Well, Chelsea, you've grown up in AFL. You're the only
one in your family that doesn't play. All sisters for you.

Speaker 3 (34:44):
Yep, all sisters, two sets of twins.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
Yeah, so your little sisters very close. Came very close
last year, I know, to getting drafted to West Coast
in the AFL W She's still very young. She's in
nineteen twenty right.

Speaker 8 (34:57):
Yeah, twenty turning twenty one soon, so still a lot
of time to grow. And it'd be cool to see
what she can do and make emfort.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
She's having a run in the waffle obviously.

Speaker 3 (35:06):
Yeah, she plays at East Perth at the moment. Yeap,
how good if she does get drafted and then she'll
have to come down this way for games.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
So cool to play the Giants, to see the fan
that would be amazing.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
That would be great, ideal really for you.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
Yeah, the clubs paying for the most perfect. You don't
need us to remind you about the Perth flights before
we go to the news. I saw Stephen who does
the Breakfast show on Double C yesterday. We're friends on Facebook,
and he posted a thing that said, well, everyone else
is doing it, and there was what I thought he'd had.
He'd had a three D doll made of himself and

(35:42):
You're like, what.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
Is everyone else doing that? I'm like, everyone's doing it.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
I didn't realize everyone's doing that. And then I've learned
today from you. You've done this with us, but it's ai,
it's not a real thing. I thought he had a
real thing.

Speaker 3 (35:58):
I would love an actual doll you or.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
Handsome bloke. Yeah, so you've made these up. We haven't
seen these yet.

Speaker 3 (36:07):
No, I wanted to keep them from you.

Speaker 8 (36:09):
Guys, because I wanted you to react to it took
me so long because you can adjust things and make
it all different, but it took me a while to
get them how I wanted it.

Speaker 3 (36:20):
Still not one hundred.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
Percent, but so and so, now that I've learned what
Stephen meant, everyone's doing this. Yes, wherever you're listening. If
you haven't heard of this, how do you do it for?
Make yourself your own? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (36:30):
So you just go to chat GPT Chat GPT.

Speaker 10 (36:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (36:34):
So AI creates an image. You pop in about three
photos like a full body shot, face and then like
a mid close up, and then you put in a
little description of what you want and to ask it
to create you an action figure Barbie doll.

Speaker 3 (36:48):
Because there's accessories too, right, you have to talk about
the accessories.

Speaker 8 (36:51):
You've got to say, can you add my accessories or
like the equipment that I would need as a doll,
and list what you would need.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
So hopefully I got your guys. Oh I'm so interested.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
It should be highly insulted. Okay, we'll start with Chelsea,
And to be honest with you, more people know what
you look like than we look like. Because if your
time on Farmer wants to watch. Let's open this and
oh sorr, it's come up on the wrong screen. Let
me move that. Oh that's Cleever, you've got a pair
of headphones and they're a laptop because you're producing the show.

Speaker 3 (37:22):
There's a little speech bubble that goes, yeah, let's lock
that in.

Speaker 5 (37:26):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (37:28):
That's okay, that's cool. How fantastic this seems to Now,
this seems to be working very well. Let's see what
happens with the rotten Gabby version. I'm going to trust
that mine's the most disastrous. So let's go to Gabby
next and have a look. And this can be I
love the Gabby's doll is this is exactly what I.

Speaker 3 (37:51):
Just did when I got the ball on the roof
before and yesterday.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
You keep wearing the same outfit, which is a pink dress.

Speaker 3 (37:58):
You ever got a pink.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
If you have that. If you are looking for some
procrastination at work today wherever you work, do this, absolutely
do this.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
Alright, alright, you've even got my regrowth. Well done, well done.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
Okay, let's go to Rod here we go. This feels
it's going to be a disaster. Okay, the rob doll
is revealed.

Speaker 3 (38:26):
That's really cute.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
I hate how accurate that is.

Speaker 3 (38:31):
You've got Oh my god, you've got your whiteboard masters.
That's so important.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
I'm going to go back into long pants.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
Start out with long pants.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
Yeah, the first that I wear long pants in winter.
You've never known me. You're out of short I had
to change.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
I was like, no, put him in long pans.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
I need to change. I'm the one.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
Rod and Gabby versus.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
The world coming up. I'm told the best mystery guest
had on the show, and we don't do a lot intrigued.
We don't do a lot of mystery.

Speaker 3 (39:04):
I think we ever do any mystery.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
Guests important usually to say who's coming up. We do
not know who's coming up, but we will find out soon.
And I'm told that it's better than the alternative.

Speaker 3 (39:13):
What's the alternative?

Speaker 10 (39:14):
Ah?

Speaker 3 (39:14):
I think you know a known guest.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
This that I think the alternative was receiving a cease
and desist.

Speaker 3 (39:24):
So it's better than that, right than legal proceedings.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
Also, the Roden Gabbie dolls that we just heard about
that have been created with the artificial intelligence will be
at Rod and Gabby on Instagram, and I think Chelsea'll
leave a note there as to how you can make
your own today if you're looking to procrastinate during the morning.
Or Friday's Lady Gaga on hit one of four point

(39:49):
seven's Rod and Gabby for Breakfast, she is coming back
to Australia. Well, we spoke about the fact that you
need to be a Votafone customer to be able to
get the pre sale ticket. It's on Monday, and of
course we didn't know anybody except for Chelsea because Votaphone
coverage apparently in Perth is good and she's come across
here to join the show.

Speaker 3 (40:09):
Everyone's going to be best friends with you, Chelsea, because
they're going to need Votophone.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
Presat that's right. And then once you've got the tickets,
you can switch to Telstra so that we can actually
contact you on the phone. We did say that, and
so if you're Votaphone at a moment like that, you
do one of two things. You obviously call your lawyers
and you say send these guys a season assist, because
it's not the first time that perhaps.

Speaker 3 (40:31):
You know, we've said something similarly, we made a bit of.

Speaker 1 (40:33):
Fun out Votaphone and the coverage, or you get creative
and you get to work and I imagine that if
you're here in the Votaphone camera office and you're the
head of marketing, there's not a lot going on. And
so you hear you hear about this and you go, no, no,
I won't call the lawyers. You know what I'll do.
I will call in our next guest. And this is

(40:55):
a fantastic surprise. Chelsea is actually guiding them in here.
This is you haven't seen them yet, Gabby whoa is unbelievable.
We are joined now by two of the leading Lady
Gaga impersonators in Australia.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
What an outfit.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
This is extraordinary. Ladies Lady Gagas, thank you for joining
us today.

Speaker 3 (41:17):
Well, we are actually here on behalf of Voteraphone to
present you with three free tickets to Lady Gaga's Sydney show.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
It was a relief. I thought it was going to be.
You're about to serve you what a theatrical way to
service with legal papers.

Speaker 3 (41:31):
I would pay that. I would be amazing.

Speaker 1 (41:33):
I'd still be into it because you do do an
amazing job. Sorry, go on, Lady Games.

Speaker 3 (41:36):
We are also going to crown you as voteraphones little monsters.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
Oh oh, this is incredible that we literally have little
monster crowns. Now, well, I do wonder I want to
go to the this is tempting, fart. I want to
go to the head of government relationships for Votaphone. Yes, Ross,
Michelle is on the line. Ross, do you know what

(42:03):
your marketing team in the act you're doing with your budget?

Speaker 9 (42:07):
One hundred percent?

Speaker 3 (42:08):
I do.

Speaker 9 (42:08):
I think there's a tremendous idea for people like people
like yourselves who haven't yet heard that Votaphone doubled as
network providing excellent coverage right across Australia, particularly for the
people of Canberra.

Speaker 1 (42:23):
Ross. This is just completely unique to me and I'm
sure it's never happened to you at another time in
your life. The pronunciation of your last name, the French
name Michelle, Is that right?

Speaker 9 (42:32):
We'll go with Mitchell, Mitchell you want to if you
want to make it a bit more fancy for a
Friday morning too.

Speaker 1 (42:38):
I think the tea has been left out of it
on my Strea. Sorry, but that's Chelsea. That's fine.

Speaker 9 (42:43):
Just we loved we loved Chelsea, so we're not going
to be more she's a valued customer of Votaphone, so
she can do no wrong.

Speaker 1 (42:52):
She can never change, by the way, now, no, that's
for sure, certainly not before the concert at least anyway.
So that's that's halfway through December. Funny stuff to say. Ross.
Congratulations mate, you guys are doing a good job at
the moment, so we appreciate you guys getting involved.

Speaker 9 (43:07):
Thanks very much. And I think the key message for
everyone is if you're not yet a voter phone customer,
looking squarely at you, Rodin Gabby, if you've got you've
got this weekend to sign up. The pre sale goes
live on Monday, as you say so, jump on a
voter phone dot com, become a customer, get access to
the most reliable network, the most affordable network in Australia,

(43:28):
and enjoy the double network that we've got live in
Australia right now.

Speaker 1 (43:31):
Good on you're ras and speaking of a double vision
at the moment, the two lady gagas that is a
very good job. Ladies. I assume that you just look
the same as Gaga and that you don't actually sing, yes, no,
we do not sing. I won't throw to you right now,

(43:51):
all right, well that was highly unexpected Chelsea. When Chelsea
told us that it happened, I absolutely thought, right vote
ifone have had enough and they're going to get stuck
into us. No, they turned the tables. Well done this morning, Rod.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
And Gabby versus The World's Need to Come Racing.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
Heart, Well, it was a loss, and so when I
heard that Vodaphone and got in touch today, I was like, wow,
it's probably probably over due Rod, considering what you said
about them for the last, you know, a few years.
But good on them because that was a creative, funny
way to get back.

Speaker 6 (44:25):
At this.

Speaker 3 (44:27):
Possible and to keep Chelsea as a customer, like you
don't hear of Telco's going out of their way like
that to keep customers they already have.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
It's a good point. Rod and Gabby on Instagram if
you'd like to see the Lady Gaga impersonators. Those outfits
are absolutely garden phenomenal. Yeah, incredible, So they did a
great job. If none of that's making any sense to
you because you've just joined us the podcast, it'll be
up this afternoon, Rod and Gabby Versus the World, I'm
not entirely sure it'll make more sense when you hear it,

(44:55):
but you'll hear it a crack, you'll hear it. Australia's
biggest social media star, one or them at the very
least Aussie man over six million followers on YouTube and
I Reckon somewhere near a zillion on Instagram. They follow
him all around the world and he just commentates whatever's
going on on social media as the ossiest bloke in

(45:16):
the world. And then, bizarrely, last week his most recent
video went up did it and he's sitting in a
pub drinking beers with albow for an hour.

Speaker 3 (45:27):
That's not what I expected.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
It's extraordinary and he will be joining us live from
Perth with that story in the next fifteen minutes before
we go to the news. Why a dog at your
wedding is a bad idea? I refuse to accept that.

Speaker 3 (45:39):
Well, I never had my dog at my wedding because
he would just be rogue. He can't be kept in line.
So that's something I didn't do. But a lot of
people do. A lot of people have their dogs help
them take the rings up the aisle, or just participate
in cute outfits, whatever it may be. But there's one
girl who meticulously organized her wedding and there was a
chain of events that went wrong. The dog even got involved.

(46:01):
So the poor thing was opening the champagne while the
girls were all getting ready in the room, and the
cork popped off and hit her in the head. So
she was quickly icing her head to make sure she
didn't form an egg on her head for the wedding,
because that would have been a disaster.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
It happens, not the dog's fault though, No.

Speaker 3 (46:17):
That's not the dog's fault. Then they got to the
wedding and the dog. It was like kind of on
a farm, so the dog was a bit of a
free roam guest. He didn't have to be contained. But
he got very excited when he saw his mom start
walking down the aisle and ran over to greet her.
Ended up jumping on her veil, which ripped out of

(46:37):
her head. So she already got a headache from the
cork hitting her, and now she's had the veil ripped
out from the back. So she's been hit both ways.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
Okay, and again just on behalf of you know the boys.
For us, we think he just bang on on a headband.
I imagine it's a bit more integrated.

Speaker 3 (46:52):
Secue wet like it's a comb that goes into your hairstyle,
but then it is pinned like it is not going
anywhere until a dog jumps on it, so it would
hurt a lot.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
There's a challenge if your stylist at the next wedding
is this dograph. Yes.

Speaker 3 (47:08):
And then to top it all off, they're doing their
vows and the dog walks over to the aisle yep
and starts doing a poop ah.

Speaker 1 (47:18):
That was probably the most expected part of the entire story.
We have noticed that some segments of traditional mainstream media
spent the first week of this election campaign stupefied that
the candidates were dedicating so much time to new media
appearances with Ossie influences.

Speaker 3 (47:38):
Yeah true.

Speaker 1 (47:39):
I think the Australian Electoral Commission investigated Albow and Abby
Chatfield's podcast at one point. I have seen people are
freaking out a bit about this, and amongst that tidal
wave of Albow and Duto content, I discovered what I
think is the most thoughtful and authentic personnel profile interview

(48:01):
of any candidate this election. The subject was the Prime Minister.
The host was our next guest, who is one of
Australia's most consistent and successful content creators both here and
around the world. Take a listen to thirty seconds of
this interview.

Speaker 10 (48:15):
Some people go, well, you've got a on climate change.
You know, you've got a forty three percent target to
reduce emissions by twenty thirty. Why isn't it sixty or
seventy or eighty.

Speaker 3 (48:27):
Because you can't do that.

Speaker 10 (48:28):
You've got to make sure that the lights turn on
when you flick the switch. Otherwise people will get shits
and they'll say, well, both are this climate change stuff?
We need to You've got to bring people with you
on that journey of change, if you like.

Speaker 5 (48:45):
And I believe there's truth in that, because yeah, yeah,
if the lights didn't turn on, Plus I'm hungry and
so I'd crack the shit, right, I'd be like society's collapsing.
So it's a transition, and I think there is quite
a large amount of people these days that do unders
stand there.

Speaker 1 (49:01):
If it sounds like elbow and one of your mates
is hanging out at the pub for an hour, that's
because essentially that's what it was. Let's cross the perth now,
good Aussie man, good a good a.

Speaker 7 (49:11):
Rod, Thank you for that. Lovely intro. That was Yeah,
that was that was unflattered. That was a nice review
of the Aussie Man reviews.

Speaker 1 (49:19):
Well, everyone interview everyone sees the Oussie Man reviews, and
you will commentate or put different different voices to different
things that we see scrolling around.

Speaker 3 (49:27):
And Ben Chicken is the most famous I think.

Speaker 1 (49:29):
I think there's one that popped up a week or
two ago. There's a couple of rams on either side
of a wire fence and just talking to each other
and then they butt heads. I mean, we've all got
a favorite one. And you are famous around the world
for that comical narration of social media videos. But what's
the reaction been to this video of you drinking at
the pub with the Prime Minister for an hour?

Speaker 11 (49:51):
It depends which platform you're on. It can be different
across the main platforms. I'd say, oh, Facebook and gree Instagram, split,
TikTok pretty good, really good.

Speaker 7 (50:04):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (50:05):
That's pretty typical of those platforms though, isn't it.

Speaker 7 (50:08):
Oh yeah, I mean, but it's it's fine, and it's
not something I don't expect when I do something that's
that's a political context, or sometimes I do the more
serious here's me face videos over the years. I did
did one on the Bushfires, I've done one on Black
Lives Matter. I've done one on the Voice actually, you know,
three years ago and thrown out some support for that.

(50:31):
So I've built a fair bit of resilience over the years.
And yeah, but with the pub chats format, it's something
I just try to keep simple. So yeah, it's pretty
laid back inherently, and that's a good thing.

Speaker 3 (50:44):
When interviewing the Prime Minister. So I've noticed with Rod,
whenever he's talking to a trade he suddenly he becomes
a bit more matey, a bit more bogan, if you will,
Like he starts to he starts to call him mate
and chats or whatever talk along with yeah, exactly. So
did you feel that Elbow started to do that with you,
like saying in that clip that we had he's like, oh,

(51:05):
maybe we're going to get this shit. It's like, is
that something that he started to kind of get a
bit matey?

Speaker 7 (51:10):
Yeah and a and a yeah yeah he did.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (51:13):
It's a persona. I mean, it's it's supposed to kind
of suck people in and it is oddsploitation, which is
a genre that's been around for decades, and yeah, I've
been out of eleven years, and I find that even
the celebrity interview stuff. When I've done the celebrity junkets,
of which I've probably done somewhere between fifteen to twenty

(51:34):
of those over the last eight years, people get sucked
into the persona. There's like a point where it clicks
and you feel them relax more. With the pub chats format,
I try to get people that will talk for forty
five minutes to an hour. So I had David Wenhem,
I had Travis Fimmel, and Elbow is just the third
in that series. So yeah, I find people do start

(51:55):
to just relax a bit. And with Elbow that was
by the thirty minute mark. You know, yeah, a long
time code. It gives me time to build a rapport,
whereas the celebrity junket stuff, it's like, Okay, you got
thirty seconds to talk to the ruck and he asks
you how your flight was and a couple of things,
and they're like, you're done, arzy man. So it's the
opposite of that junket environment, which is super stressful and crazy.

(52:20):
So it's yeah, I think in this format people get
even more laid back so it was cool to see
the Prime minist to do that.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
I imagine, you know, if you're at the pub for
an hour and after a few beers, you know, that
makes it a little bit easier. But Albo was onto
you straight away, and he was on the zero percents,
and so he said that at the start. He said
he does it for a few months at a time,
and I imagine around this time during an election, now
is the time.

Speaker 7 (52:44):
But I also wonder how no judgment, Hey, no judgment
on that at all, not at all. That he's got
the decisions to make daily. It's probably why if there's anyone.

Speaker 1 (52:54):
I want on the zero percent, it's a bloke with
the nuclear codes. And I know we don't have nuclear codes,
but he has some thing important. I'm sure, yeah, yeah, yeah,
we have a bomb an because we got something. It
was interesting. Obviously, Yes, through the interview we did see
him relax, But I also wonder how much he knew
he was walking into because you're an unassuming looking character

(53:16):
you've turned up to interview the Prime minister. I imagine
in the going out thongs they weren't just any thngs,
but you had the what the Americans would call the
flip flops on and I wonder if he thought, well,
this is just going to be a softball chat. And
as time went on, and honestly, despite the casual vernacular
and that last bit that I played highly intelligent deep

(53:37):
dive questions, you were pushing back on different issues around
health than you were even talking about Daza and Israel
and the whole thing. It was a serious interview that
you could have dropped onto sixty minutes where Karl might
have done his interview with the Prime Minister, but it
would have it would have absolutely held up. But you
started this. You got this happening by just banging a

(53:59):
post on what his Instagram feed?

Speaker 7 (54:01):
Yeah, yeah, I noticed it was in Perth a few
weeks ago, and he did a photo with a couple
of reality TV stars or something, and I just said,
want to do a pub chat mate. And then there
was another post where I said, want to do a
pub chat mate. So I became a bit of a
recurring kind of trolling on my behalf. And then he's
the head of digital at the office of the PM
reached out and a senior advisor and it was kind

(54:24):
of in limbo for a few weeks and then I
got about two days notice or it was a Thursday,
and can you do someday? So it was all go,
go go, And yeah, not a lot of time to plan,
but I wasn't neglectful of the privilege or the opportunities
still to have that length of time with the Prime Minister.

(54:44):
And I know I'm a scabby influencer, but it's like, yeah, I,
like you said, I tried to ask some stuff that's meaningful.
And I'm not naturally combative or I'm not an accredited
journalist you can say citizen journalist at most probably, so
I'm not gonna push too hard on some stuff that's
where it is still softball and there's levity to it.

(55:08):
But yeah, I tried to ask questions in a way
that was clear, succinct, and maybe double down on a
couple of things. And he did the odd I don't
think there were too many Dorothy Dixes in there. He
did the odd kind of redirection of me. Or he
was a pro that stills. So yeah, negative gearing, I
couldn't clamp down on that side. Two or three ways

(55:31):
to kind of approach negative gearing reform, and if it's
worked into the housing crisis at all, And yeah, he
dodged me pretty good there, but that's fine for the
most part. He was also very clear and concise in
a lot of his answers too, and I think that's
what made it good. And yeah, you might not expect
Dosie Man to have intellect at times. That's the fun

(55:54):
of the persona, right.

Speaker 1 (55:56):
Anyone who's watched anyone who's watched you long enough absolutely
knows that. And certainly around the negative, negative gearing stuff,
it was almost as if you laid your own trap
for you because you had him in the pub and
the part where you've you know, you've hit him a
couple of dient ways and in the end he's gone, nah, mat,
it's none to worry about. He's actually given the pub
response to your mates would as going before I was

(56:18):
e man.

Speaker 3 (56:18):
Go sorry, game just really quickly. When we've had the
Prime Minister into radio studios in the past, we've past
prime ministers, they come in, they do a full sweep,
like the security make sure that there's absolutely nothing untoward
going on in the building, the dog or they'll let
the Prime Minister enter if it's in a pub. Did
they do that or did Albo just walk in without
a bouncer.

Speaker 7 (56:39):
No, it look, it became real in that, you know,
twenty four hours beforehand. And yeah, the pub manager, Chris
was so good. The business was shut on a Sunday anyway,
so that worked out well. But yeah, basically the pub owner,
it's the pub where I shot the Travis S. Fimble
one and the David Wenham won and we had hatrons

(57:00):
in there in the afternoon and whatnot. But yeah, this one,
it works for their security that he was closed on
a Sunday. And yeah, Chris, poor Chris. I just suck
people into this vortex of whatever side quests I'm taking
on sometimes and yeah, whether it's people close to me
or strangers that kind of get stuck into this vortex.
So yeah, six AFP officers checked out the place before,

(57:23):
and then yeah, the PM's advanced team arrives, and then
third he's he's kind of yeah, anyway, I just gave
away big security secrets will be fired.

Speaker 1 (57:34):
All right, Well, we will sit and wait for Peter
Dutton to accept the next Instagram invitation from you for
an interview. In the meantime, you're doing a great job
out there, mate, Congratulations on everything. It certainly appears from
my observation at this incredible, this moment and this incredible
social media content creation career, that it may be pivotal.
And that's that point where you switch from the niching

(57:57):
down to being about you and you the star. But
we'll observe and we'll see. We appreciate the time today.
Ossie Man in Perth.

Speaker 7 (58:04):
Cheers, mate, Thanks, Thanks, Gabby, you have a good one
and Gabby versus the world.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
All I have written on the rundown here the last
thing for the morning, make showers great again.

Speaker 3 (58:15):
I've got some audio for you because it's very, very
very rare that I hear something Donald Trump has said,
and it's something that I myself would have said. That's
very rare. Actually, I don't think it's ever happened before.

Speaker 1 (58:30):
No, and it's probably best that it doesn't happen a lot.

Speaker 3 (58:33):
No, But he's actually done a new executive order which
is interesting one. And this is what he's had to
say about it, because it's in regards to water pressure
and getting rid of those silly water saver shower heads.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
Oh well, Kramer is on the same page as this
has been going since Seinfeld.

Speaker 3 (58:52):
Yeah, Okay, we'll have a little listen.

Speaker 1 (58:54):
In my case, I'd like to take a nice shower
to take care of my beautiful hair.

Speaker 3 (58:59):
This that's what I say.

Speaker 1 (59:00):
I have to stand out of the shower for fifteen
minutes till it gets wet. It comes out drip, drip, drip.
It's ridiculous.

Speaker 11 (59:07):
And what you do is you end up washing your
hands five times longer, so it's the same water.

Speaker 3 (59:13):
I love to have a long shower and wash my
beautiful hair.

Speaker 1 (59:16):
And now we've worked it out. There's one guy who
was using the Trump playbook to try and win the
next election. He's got no hair. That's the thing that
was the key to success. Oh no, there's a bloke
with less hair every day. I feel for you. That over.
It's over, mate,
