Speaker 1 (00:00):
They came bounding over.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
What's the procedure.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
This is Roden Gabby versus the World.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Game two Wednesday. Welcome, Welcome to Blues. Darcy is a
Melbournie and if you made the.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Switch he made, he said the Blues.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yeah, I know. But if you come to your senses.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
As if they were now.
Speaker 5 (00:32):
Literally the dumbest time in the world, it's too late
for me, man. So you just hang on there as
a Melbournie and you can flip flop around.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
But this isn't the time to flip flop. We're done
like dinners over here.
Speaker 6 (00:43):
Yeah, I probably won't watch it though.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
You're back to the winner.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
Yeah, you're back to winning. You're going to get a slave,
You'll be the ultimate winner.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Alright, let's cross to produce a Chelsea's booth straight out
of the gate.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Good morning, produced Chelsea.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Good morning.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
I want to pol guys for my hypochondria. Everyone knows
the time that Darcy came in and sounded a.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Bit sick, and then you put him in isolation, had
a temporary booth built for him in a short period
of time, Yes, and then you were you were.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
You didn't come back for like a week, and poor
Chelsea before walked in and sneezed, and then I've never
heard so much panic in someone's voice.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Is that why I could spell Glenn twenty?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Did you do that? Did you sprak Land twenty? Because
you sneak?
Speaker 5 (01:32):
No?
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I didn't. I didn't listen.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
What time is your voice?
Speaker 5 (01:40):
You better stay in the booth today. No, no, no,
I've accepted that Gabby's daughter's unwell.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I know I'm getting sick. I know how it will.
It's how it all plays out. It's dominance.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
My daughter's unwell, So therefore you're getting sick that it
is true. But it's funny the way you said it.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
You've got to look for patient zero at this time
of year, where this deep into winter and everyone's going traveled,
all right, eone's looking at.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Ration zero is always the one that's at daycare always.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
That's how we know we're all about to go down.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Everybody we are hearing the travel for Australia is up
eight percent, down six to seven percent Australia to US.
So that's the stat as of this week. However, what's
the problem with Japan today?
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Well, travel's definitely down when it comes to Southern Japan,
because a so called prophecy has been circulating. There was
an earthquake reportedly coming in July, according to a comic book.
So there's a comic book named The Future. I saw
the complete edition. It was published in twenty twenty two
by a Japanese writer. The thing is, though, he did
(02:49):
actually predict an earthquake a couple of years back. So
in one of his other comics in nineteen ninety six,
he predicted the twenty eleven Great East Japan earthquake.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
It's not all that difficult. I mean, you know, earthquakes
are pretty common over there.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Well he start over be predicted one. So now he's
predicted what did he say, the real catastrophe in July
twenty twenty five in southern Japan. So everyone's like, oh, well,
I'm not going there. So for July and June, tourism
is really down to go to southern Japan just in case.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Yeah, And so there's that part of me that goes, well,
it sounds like, you know, this is a ripe for.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
A good deal, but it also makes me go right
for a catastrophe, which.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
One is that way the other good deal.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Though, it's a good deal.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
And Gabby versus the.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
World waking up to a minus eight point five, that's
the feels like to start.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
It's not bad minus.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Oh wait minus.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I appreciate your toughness. I have all the respect in
the world for the bung indoor girl. He just walks
in here in a pair of shorts and a T shirt.
Your modefied.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
I thought I didn't hear that's.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Tough and Psycho, that's true.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Where it is about your mona mate eleven the top
of this afternoon produce a Chelsea welcome to the studio this.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Morning, Thank you? Did you? Is this true?
Speaker 5 (04:18):
People are telling me this morning you were back on
Farmer Wan's wife last night. Have you been sneaking off
and filming.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Since I wish?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
No?
Speaker 4 (04:24):
No, you would have made the season better, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Well, don't ask her other half about that.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
That's a good point.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
You turn up on Farmer Want's wife, the expectations you
leave with a farmer No.
Speaker 7 (04:36):
So last night was the final episode of the season
before the reunion, and it was only the first half
an hour of the show, which was actually from this season,
and then the next hour was like a replay of
all the other farmers from previous seasons who have been successful.
It was also like Emily and David's wedding that was
(04:58):
on last night. They filmed their whole wedding. There was
a proposal, the baby announcement, and then Matt and Olivia
came on because they just had their baby, Henry.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
Yes, but given the flashbacks were of successful relationships and
you walked out.
Speaker 7 (05:12):
Yeah, you on there still, well now I feel like
I've been turned into the villain.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Fantastic what happened?
Speaker 4 (05:19):
That's what your rather half.
Speaker 7 (05:20):
Said, right, Yeah, So we were watching it and I
was like, oh, that's me, and then I was like
hearing what Olivia was saying, and she was like, oh,
it was just hard to compete with the other girls.
Flashback to me and me being like, yeah, I'm jealous,
Like you'll see it in a sec.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
And I'm like, the villain.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
This is fantastic.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
The villain all right, because often if you are, you know,
painted as the villain, you get the villain edit. It's
during the season to get a retrospective villain edit. You
are in the lastpigest company and that I think it's
just you.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Well, maybe it's because you did walk out, So back
then they didn't know you were going to walk out,
so they were fair and now they're like, now she left,
so we can painter. However, were oh, this is fantastic,
all right, their payback.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Let's go to the flashback or the retrospective section of
last night's Farmer Wants a Wife where producer Chelsea, who
was one of the final three participants in this farmhouse
at the time, apparently looks like a villain a kid.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
You did.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Okay, I don't know what anyone just said that, Chelsea.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Said, did you have a little kiss?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Producer?
Speaker 7 (06:26):
No one was speaking, and like I was the one
that would always say something like I didn't care.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
And then they looked at me, and.
Speaker 7 (06:33):
My producer looked at me and he was like, ask
the question.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
I was like, okay, awkward.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
I hear about this.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
It's almost like you have a personal coach because these
reality shows, and they call them producers obviously, but they
take you aside.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
They give you a g up.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
And go someone's going to you know, right, the person
that your producer would have loved that you were the
person who actually said stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
You wonder the villain, but you said it in the
funny little boys that you have a little kiss. Yeah,
I didn't want to make it too well. But then
the girl who you said it to you said it
back in a funny little voice.
Speaker 7 (07:06):
We were very close in the house, Annabela and I, but.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
You too didn't get the old mate, no farm.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
No so blondie over here, Olivia got old mate far okay,
and she's the middle man, so Annabel.
Speaker 7 (07:20):
In this scene, annabel had just came back, come back
from a date, and Olivia was like upset about it,
and then I was like.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
The middleman, being like on your stir Go back to.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
The start of this clip, because we need to get
the whole context of what's happening.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Now we know, do you guys have a kids?
Speaker 4 (07:35):
We didn't have a little.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I put the night with whoa.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Everyone's speaking in a very staccato fashion, so I'm going
to translate the girl who's jealous, who's ultimately the one
who's ended up married having kid.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
And it's all worked out fantastically.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Olivia is standing there cutting a cake or something, and
her response to this you've had a kiss, little kiss
was I'll put down the nine.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
She didn't trust herself with it, obviously, fantastic.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I'll put down the.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Knight with two other ladies falling hard for Matt as well.
Tensions were high on the farm.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Do you feel like you'd lied about spending alone time
with Matt?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Have you?
Speaker 8 (08:19):
Olivia?
Speaker 7 (08:20):
Is everything okay when feelings are involved. Yeah, you'll be
a little bit jealous when someone else has taken on
a date and.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
It's not you.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Good performance, good performance, And we know it was.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
A performance because just after that you were like, I'm
not even here. I'll just say it. Yeah, so jealous. Yeah,
well you know I am jealous.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Yeah. My producer put me after this, I'm causing a
real scene right here. Well good.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Anyway, I'm really annoyed because I was so mad at
five Want's wife yesterday when we found out the reunions
not until nine pm Monday, so mad about it. I
didn't watch last night's episode, the first episode I've not
watched this season, and Chelsea's I'm here with the.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Scene stealers, season stealer. Ask you keeping an eye on
the news, and the Chief is.
Speaker 6 (09:16):
Off Twitter, not yet, but almost off Twitter because there's
been a fifty decline in engagements just on Twitter, and
more engagements on other platforms.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Are we shocked?
Speaker 6 (09:28):
Yeah, no, no one is shocked. I feel like Twitter's
just yet only used by Americans.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Now I have not used that platform in ten years.
I don't even know if my logins still exists.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
I'll tell you when I use it when I'm upset
and an umpiring decision in the AFA specific.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Yeah, if you go back through through my Twitter history,
it'll be me posting some dumb observation with no context
around a decision.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
That was made.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
And it's obviously because people get into the hashtag, but
the games you're watching and they get into that stream,
and so it made sense at the time.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
It makes no sense. Now what, yeah, you're absolutely right?
Is what an.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
Interesting snapshot when it's obvious that this extraordinary situation where
the world's richest man has bought one of the largest
social media platforms on planet Earth and.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Then you just crashed it into a river. And you
know how anecdotal is that?
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Well, you know, the act government have a bunch of
different channels across the different platforms, depending on their departments
and those sorts of things, and what's the percentage decline
and engagement?
Speaker 6 (10:39):
They've identified a fifty percent decline in growth, and so
they're from July first majority of their social media posts
will go on Facebook, Instagram and linked in.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
So it's just going to dive even further because they're
not bothering to even post there anymore.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Exactly.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Well, the ABC they chucked all theirs out a year
or two ago. I think as Elon must began.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
To run off the rails. They're going and see where
this is God and so it is.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Incredible, and I mean I still call it Twitter, but
it's almost giving it too much respect.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
This ruin that is X.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Is it still called a tweet though? Called X?
Speaker 5 (11:13):
No one even knows. He didn't think about anything before.
He just went through through it, you know, like a
wrecking ball. However, it is significant enough you are right
in America to have an impact on election results and stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Anyway, we're out.
Speaker 6 (11:29):
That's just crazy though, how like the journey the whole
thing's had. And I don't know whether Australians disengaged after
Elon Musk as well.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Before that, I think it was just too much pressure
on me because putting up just a little quote had
to be smart and witty and funny all in one,
and it was I couldn't handle it.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
Didn't you used to use Facebook how people use Twitter now?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Maybe, but that was before there was pressure to be cool.
Now there's so much pressure to be cool and I
can't keep up.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Look the great thing about never having been cool, it
was never a problem. I was just like, well, this
isn't going to work for me at all.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
And Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
I'm noticing a lot of on news sites that I'm
on this morning, the guys from the US Mega Lotteries
have gone out and bought a lot of ad space today,
and I wonder about that because I wonder about the
legalities of Australians entering US lotteries.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
It doesn't feel Jill right, does it?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
King King? Wally's on it.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
They seem to have done any his face is on Itdors.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Well, yeah, it turns out that ossies are able to
buy tickets. But it says this is the quote right,
So see if you can decipher this, because I'm a
tiny bit confused. We're able to enter the US Mega Lotto,
which is available through the lottery office and matches winnings
from the US Mega Millions. So it matches winnings right,
(12:52):
So that doesn't necessarily mean that we're buying a ticket
into the US Lotto. It means that we're buying a
ticket that matches the winning So I.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Don't know the model, but I can only assume, because
they don't have all that money sitting there, they'd be
ensuring against the win and so the money that they
make from ticket sales.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I'm making all this up, but I'm guessing I'm right.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
I'm assuming you are on the money here.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Right, and there'd be some insurer that has gone no worries,
we'll take that riscent Rea, We'll take that gamble, and
so they'll charge one hundred grand, a million dollars whatever
it is to this lottery's mob. Now, in the odd
event that one of us jags the correct numbers for
that draw, yeah, they would then need.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
To pay out.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Well, that's an interesting assessment of it, and you're probably right. However,
the current jackpot is four hundred and thirty one million dollars,
I mean, and they say that every month or couple
of months, it's normally a billion dollars. So we were
just freaking out last week about one hundred million dollars
(13:53):
going off. By the way, the winner has still not
been found for that one. Somewhere in Bondai. This person
bought a ticket and they have a claim that hundred
million dollars.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Life's too good in Bonde You don't need you don't
need it.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
But we were like freaking out over one hundred million dollars.
Imagine four hundred and thirty one million dollars or a
billion dollars. That just sounds insane at.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
The end of the day, though ultimately these lotto draws
are bankrolled by ticket sales. Yeah, and so what's the
US population because there's the difference, that's why there's So
they're three hundred and forty.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Mil what do we twenty one mill or something?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Not astray your post twenty four, twenty.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Twenty six, right, so straight away you can understand why
our hundred mill actually proportionally is probably even a little
bit more than that.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
But you say, these will get up to a bill
from time to time.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
But that said, it was US versus twenty six million people, right, Oh, sorry,
every second adult Australian what's that fifteen wasn't gonna make
up a number fifteen ten million people, So we had
a one and ten million chance. Don't even don't even
try and start to explain to me the chance I've
got of winning the US Mega Lotto.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
You know what as an insurer. No wonder someone's taking
that on.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Yeah, it sounds like a good bet.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
No chance.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Rod and Gabby will go and catch up with Darcy
in a moment. The act budget leaks A day doesn't
go by that we don't get a leak.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
What's today? How much are we dropping on design work? Well,
I like where this is going design work?
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Oh well, I don't know that it's one of our things,
one of our sculptures, but I hope it is.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
I really love that there's like some frivolous No, I'm
sure it's not frivolous, but you know, like when it's
not an election year, it's a little more exciting because
they can take a few risks. You know.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
I'm sure I've misunderstood completely. Will find out what we're
spending our hard earned tax dollar or what the chief
is spending it on. However, in just a second, Warrick Kappa,
we all know the wizard. He was one of the
He was arguably the most famous Sydney Swan's full ford
in history. In the eighties, had hair like he was
a member of Bond Joe because it was the eighties.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Well gold hotpants on one point in me not.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
During the game, but yeah, he he You'll find if
you just type in warriorkap of God Hopbands.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Yeah, you'll find that. You'll google it.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
What reality TV show is he on? Because that's how
I know him. Was it Big Brother, Celebrity Big Brother
or something like that?
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Sure he was dropped in as an intruder into Celebrity
Big Brother?
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Yes, yeah, that sounds I think that's where I know
him from.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
I think you'll know him if you've been a long,
long time listener.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Of the show, you'll remember we were doing the.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
Show from the Royal Canbra show and the Wizard was
there with his van selling Warwick Cappuccinos.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
That's the true story. And the Wizard came over and
he was he was on the show, that's true. At
the Cabra he had the camera show the Warrick Cappuccinos. Anyway,
he is one of he's an AFL great and he is.
He's been banned by the AFL from turning up a
game anywhere in Australia for the next five years, and
the report last night on Channel seven. It sounded like
(16:56):
it was he just had too much at the Grand
Final last year. This was the.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Report MCG employees told the AFL Cappy yelled, was us
in the house? Before he was kicked out of a
corporate suite and evicted from the ground. Was in the house?
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Now if everyone who shouted their own name and then
followed it up with is in the house was banned
from the.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
AFL, you wouldn't have many people at the MCG.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
I'm doing that at our next Christmas party.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I like it. That's a lot more serious than well.
Speaker 9 (17:30):
On Grand Final day, Wara Kappa was evicted from a
private box. He told the people in that vicinity about
a female weight staff that she's attractive and she could
get a job in my brothel. Now that wasn't directed
straight at the staff member, but she did overhear it
and complained. He was evicted and for being highly toxicated
and intimidating that staff member was banned from AFL venues,
(17:53):
all of them right around the country for five years,
including all sporting events, not just footy, but concerts and
all other sporting events. Asked by Sunrise last night to
his management whether or not he thought those comments were inappropriate.
Wara Kappa responded to Sunrise, saying I made a comment
to people in my party that was overheard by Waite staff,
who became offended. I happened to think working in a
(18:14):
brothel is a great way to earn a living, as
it is a legitimate industry.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Now that's probably the part that needed the clarification, not
a turn of phrase. He actually owns a brothel.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
I was about to ask that exact question. I did
not know if he was just saying, you know, my
personal household exactly not, but he owns a business, yes,
that is.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I still think it's a problem.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Yeah, you can't be going around saying those things. If
people choose to work in that industry, good on them.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
But you don't anyway push people into it.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
We won't be seeing Warry Kappra at the footy for
a little while, which means you'll be back at the
Canbra show in no.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Time, Ah Rodin Gabby versus the World.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
The Chief Minister has put some money aside in this
act budget.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
We're learning with the leagues this week for design work.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
Yeah, for the police stations, which is much needed considering
what they've been going through recently.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
We're going to make our cop shops look like our sculptures.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
When I hear designs like the hour or something, who knows.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
You know, like we have the big the orange fish moth,
the fish moth down there in Camber.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
You know, we have so many great sculptures all.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
The way the airport that spins around, like the silver
UFO orb thing.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
I feel like that's the snows. I don't think that's ours.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
They have one of those. Chelsea's got one of those
in Danman.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
So yeah, anyway, I feel like it's the most interesting
part of this. It's three point seven million dollars will
go towards design works for Winchester and the city police stations.
So the city one is where they've had all the
issues with all the sewage and stuff that's going crazy.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Anyway, to design.
Speaker 10 (20:06):
Help with the sewage, I would design it, yes, yeah,
in that instance, the front of the because if there
was an ongoing problem with the sewage, but idea a
sort of a design frontage inspired by Jackson Pollock, you.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Would never know there was a problem. I don't know
what that one for The art fans out there.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Say too high brow. I have no idea what you're
talking about.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
You can go to our National Gallery and take a
look at what is our National Gallery's most controversial purchase
and at the time, what was the most expensive piece
of art in the world. I might be oversealing it anyway,
I'm sure Jackson Pollock fans loved that bit of gear.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Darcy is that that's it.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
There is one family the world finds more fascinating than
the Kardashians, and that is the British royal family.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
And in twenty twenty.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
Five, our access to them is off the charts. But
what was going on before they had their own social
media accounts? The Queen's Nanny, opening at the Canberra Theater
tomorrow may answer that question. It's written by a former
Canberraan journalist and author, Melanie Tates. She joins us now, Melanie,
thank you so much for the time. Congratulations on the
(21:24):
opening tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Oh thanks Rod and Gabby. I'm so excited to be
back at the Canberra Theater Center Playhouse's I'm not being
fund like, I'm not just saying this because I'm talking
to you, but it is my absolute favorite theater in Australia.
Like it's so beautiful to play in. It's a really
you know, you can get a really big audience in there,
but there's not a seat in the house where you
(21:46):
can't see what's going on, and you always feel like
you're part of it, like you still feel like you're
really close to what's happening. It's amazing. So I'm very
excited about the show being there.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Agreed, it's a fantastic theater.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Yeah, having written this play, how are you in things
like casting and directing or do you write it you
hand it over and then you just get to enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Well, I'm so lucky because on this play. So my
best friend in the world, we've been best friends since
we were nineteen, is Priscilla Jackman, who's basically one of
Australia's leading bit of directors. So I am involved in
every aspect of it because Priscilla's directing. I mean that
doesn't always happen with different directors that you work with.
But because we are such a team, you know, we're
(22:27):
like to finish each other's sentences kind of team, and
so I am involved in casting and all of that
kind of stuff as well, but it's overall it's her vision.
After I write the play.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
She it's a test of a friendship.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
I imagine you need to be very very good mates
or the friendship might not last well the actual run.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Oh yeah, I think. I think putting on a show
together is And this is our third, No, it's about
our fourth show we've done together now. Yeah, so we're
pretty solid. We're pretty solid. You know, would do every
play all the time with Priscilla if we could, if
we could, you know, work out the timings and all
that kind of stuff. I love working with her.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
Reports by staff is exposing what members of the royal
family are really like have always happened. We're perhaps just
more aware of them now than we were back in
the day. But is that how your story of the
Queen's Nanny was built? And can you put us in
the timeline? When about this was?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Yes, so so Crafty's book The Little Princesses she wrote
very soon after she was she was retired, and she
retired at thirty eight as the nanny. She'd been there
seventeen years, so we're talking about nineteen fifty one was
when the book came out, and it's thought to be
the first proper insider royal tell all same week. I mean,
(23:48):
it doesn't tell all that much. Let's be real, Like
if you read the book, like it's one of those
books that if you it's kind of like a sleet
story on the car map, you know what I mean,
Like it's very sweet and sacked, and like you don't
know why on earth the royal family would have been
upset about it. But the fact of the matter is
she was the first to put her name on it
(24:09):
on one of these and so therefore it was, you know,
a verified source, I guess, I mean Crawfy herself, as
a result of this book went on to be the
most quoted royal historian of the twentieth century. And everything
we know about the Queen, Queen Elizabeth her childhood comes
from Crawfy's book.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Why are we so interested in like the Queen's early
life and the royals back before social media? Because things
like the Crown are so popular. I've learnt a lot
about the royal history through that, whether it's right or wrong,
But isn't because.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
She was able to navigate her royal family in an
age that there were many royal families, and now that
model doesn't exist anymore. Sure, there's some royals getting around,
but they're just turning up to openings of envelopes, whereas
these guys it's in still is a monarchy.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Yeah, look, it's really fascinating and actually, just what you've
touched on there is something that we explore a bit
in the play because the Queen Mother, who we know
as the Queen Mother, is pretty much the other main
character in this play. It's Crawfy and the Queen Mother
are the main two characters. And the Queen Mother was
born in nineteen hundred, so when she was born she's
(25:23):
basically of Scottish Landed gentry. But when she was born,
there were royal families, like you said, in every European
country pretty much, and over her lifetime, certainly over the
First World War on Second World War, she saw them
pretty much. All of them except for the Brits either
exiled or slaughtered it. So she sort of did everything
she could to keep them together. So it'll be interesting
(25:44):
to see what happens after King Charles the Third dies,
like hopefully that's a long time away, but I don't
know whether they'll be able to hang on to it
in the same sort of way.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
What a fascinating snapshot of a moment in royal history
and we get to see it on stage at the
hand with theater sold that tomorrow night, by the way,
so congratulations on I sold that opening night.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
Tickets left go to Cambratheatercenter dot com dot a you
to get yours quickly or call us now thirteen ten sixty.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
We've got a handful. That's it though.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Congratulations by the way, Melanie, this is just a really
really cool achievement. On a personal note and on behalf
of us as a community, we appreciate you bringing it here.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Oh, Rod and Gabby, thank you so much for having us.
We're just so fun about being here.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Thank you so much, Rodin Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Let's play a quick blankety blanks. We all know how
this works now. After our first game a week or
two ago, I will.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Read this sentence. I will leave a word house.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
That's the blank, and wherever you are you can you
can fill it in. Yeah, you're at home, you're traveling.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
To work, getting ready of school. Here we go.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
I got in a bit of trouble last night thanks
to blank.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
Would you like me to fill in the blank for you?
Speaker 2 (27:04):
You can play along. What would you like to put
in there. I got in a little trouble last night
thanks to blank thanks to chocolate. Okay, how could this
make sense?
Speaker 4 (27:19):
So is this my fault or is this not? Am
I in the wrong? I would like to know, because
last night I was on the phone to my sisters.
We'll facetiming, so we're all having a chat, the three
of us, And while doing so, Nev came over my
husband and he gave me a twirl that he had
bought at the supermarket earlier that day.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
He's on fire at the moment.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
I was like, good on you, thank you so much.
I really appreciate that. I love a twelve. So I
opened the twelve and I was eating it mindlessly while
talking to my sisters, which is not the way you
should eat a chocolate enjoy it. I know exactly. I
should have been enjoying it. I should have waited so
that I could really take it in. But I did it.
I mindlessly ate it, and that was that was my fault. Anyway,
(28:04):
finished off the chocolate and Nev came back in after
taking the bins out and he goes, hold on, where's
my huf. It was a four pack.
Speaker 11 (28:20):
I didn't put a four pack in that idea that
we would share a which yeah, we normally would, but
because I was mindlessly eating it while on the phone
to my sisters, I ate or four and it was
really upset.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
I know.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
I gave him good props before I was at he's
on fire, and then he was putting at the beanies.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
He's right and high.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
He's not putting foot wrong except you want chocolate, I
don't give it to someone else.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
You can give me a sixteen pack, and how much
you get none, you walk away with the bins out.
It's over.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
Darcy keeping an eye on the news, obviously, And I
guess the question after Billy Slater's I think pretty articulate
spray yesterday probably doesn't even qualify as articulate words. The
question is, are the days of state of origin g
ups over?
Speaker 6 (29:08):
Oh definitely not. But I feel like in this context, potentially,
just because it's gotten such a big reaction.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
All right, let's listen. This is Aaron Woods.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
Yes, I didn't realize I thought we were talking. If
everyone knew what Billy Slater had said.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
Aaron Woods called Billy Slater a grub, and it's obviously
struck a nerve as we will just hear.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Now, Yeah, remembering Aaron Woods's played against.
Speaker 12 (29:39):
Billy Sla, we degrade someone personally in a derogatory manner.
You probably don't deserve one of those privileged positions that
you're all in. You don't know what people are going through,
and although I might be able to handle it, the
next person mightn't be. Maybe our last coach didn't.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
And that's a bloody series suggestion, because of course the
last coach, Paul Green, tragically not with us anymore, and
so the suggestion that he may have been a victim
of public sledging is a wild thing. Now, Aaron Woods
has said this in a public forum.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
Obviously, he's got that show on the radio up the
road and he's come out this morning.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
We can take a listen to his response to that.
If you just give me a second ear, it's only
been said in the last little bit. Where are you
Aaron Woods? Sorry, everybody can feel in form me for
a second there if you like Darcy. What else do
I need to know? Well other than that nothing.
Speaker 6 (30:30):
Yeah, it's actually kind of the whole story as like
coming up into this game tonight. We can talk about
it from a Raiders' perspective though, Yeah, Hudson Young and
Corey Hawsbro playing on opposite teams and then flying directly
after the game straight to the Tigers game on.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Friday, Friday Night footy at Gao fantasms.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
So from Perth it's a two hour delay. Do you
get your lagged from that?
Speaker 2 (30:56):
I reckon you could.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
It's a bit of an adjustment.
Speaker 6 (30:59):
I feel like, if it's a three hour flight and
you're they're three hours behind, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Surely you don't have to turn up a training in
between exactly get a rest. All right. Here's what Aaron
Woods said in response to that stand by them.
Speaker 8 (31:13):
It's part of something I said. With that responsibility, you've
got to have an opinion. I just thought Billy went
a little bit over the boundary, and I just think
it was just really I just think it was completely
unnecessary for the situation.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
All right. So no one knows what that even means,
but it is a response.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
I think it kind of means he's just said Billy's
taking the response a little bit too far.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
But the confusion is or is he suggesting that Billy
being accused of being a grub because he stood on
another player plays head once during an Origin game. Is
that what he's saying was too far anyway? Is a
result of such an ambiguous response, we don't really have
a clear understanding of what Aaron Woods meant.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
It's a weird sledging match before in Origin, no, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Oh, if you look at it.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
They obviously have a bit of a personal be going
on coming into play.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
And I think that's it. I think in isolation it's weird.
Speaker 5 (32:04):
I think in the context of State of Origins, it's
not without precedent, and I'm not sure this will be
the last, by the way, all right, thanks Darcy.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Cis Rod and Gabby Versus the world, Where.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
Did Quantas come in the best airlines in the world
that you're reporting on at the moment.
Speaker 6 (32:18):
Well, they jumped ten places from last year, so they're
fourteenth this year, one behind British Airways. They've done very
well compared to twenty fourth last year.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
So how many.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Airlines are They don't even know they were twenty four,
you know, there'd be like ten.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
Yeah, that's a disaster that we were twenty four And
I'm not even very pleased with this fourteen.
Speaker 6 (32:39):
We used to win this all the time, did we
I think we used to be like in the top
ten usually, but Katar and Emirates have been kind of
close for the top that this is the second consecutive
year that Qatar's won.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
They are pretty fancy.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
We don't stand a check at all. All right, thank you, Darcy.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
In just a moment again, he's beautiful. Nana, who would
have been one hundred and three a few weeks ago,
sadly only fell short by a week and.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
A half, has returned overnight. I want to say something
to you that I didn't get to mention.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
Oh, it's got emotional, it is.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
I will recompose myself.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
You was so tough, Well, you're gonna make me cry.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Back when your nan passed away, was in the middle
of the show.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
And I said, well we should stop, and you were
so resilient you went, no, no, We'll just keep going.
And so I've watched you through this time, and you've
shared with everyone that she wasn't traveling well she was
one hundred and two or nearly one hundred and three.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
It was incredible.
Speaker 5 (33:54):
Yeah, but you and your family have been really incredible,
and I was excited to hear that you had a
fantastic memory of her that turned up last night, and
you deserve that because you've managed yourself with such resilience
and toughness. So tell us a fun story so that
I cheer up.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
No, this memory came up this morning for me on
Facebook of all places, and it just brought a smile
to my face, as memories like this do when someone's passed.
But my Nana, she was nearly one hundred and three,
and she was so prevalent on social media, like she
loved Instagram, she loved Facebook. She had thirteen kids, she
had I don't even know how many grandkids, great grandkids,
(34:32):
great great grandkids, Like, there's nearly one hundred of us.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
I love that that's your family and you don't even.
Speaker 4 (34:37):
Know there's so many. I think they did account a
couple of years ago, and my mum turned to me
and was like, we'd love to get to one hundred
by the time Nana's one hundred, so start working on it.
But it was really funny, so we were nearly at
one hundred. Like ancestors of just Nana directly, she was crazy.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
She was born in twenty two, twenty two.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
You do need to specify in twenty twenty five, two nineteen.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Nineteen, twenty two, twenty two. Yeah, So there's a huge family,
massive family, and that's how she kept in contact with everyone,
not just kept across what everyone was doing with social media.
So Nana would sit up with her iPad and she'd
scroll through Facebook, and she'd comment on everyone's posts and
say little lovely little things below each photo, and it
(35:22):
was just really sweet. And it's just so funny because
like I see my parents and people their age struggling
with social media, and my Nana was just like a hero.
She was just the best at that kind of technology.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Well she didn't master it.
Speaker 5 (35:36):
I mean there's about one hundred of her offspring that
she wouldn't be able to keep across.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
It's a very good point, and she had time and
hands like.
Speaker 10 (35:48):
That.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
Anyway, So I got this little memory from four years
ago on my Instagram, So she would have been what
ninety nine when I sent her a little message on
Facebook because I was living up Townsville at the time,
and I had a couple of Cowboys jerseys because I
was going to all of the Cowboys games up there.
But whenever the Raiders played in Townsville, I refused to
(36:10):
support the Cowboys because the Raiders were my number one team.
Good commitment, but I didn't have a Raiders jersey and
my Nana was, I think a little disappointed at that.
So I have like a T shirt with the Raiders emblemono,
but I didn't actually have a full jersey. So I
managed to get my hands on one, and I sent
her a photo of me in the Raiders jersey, saying, Nana,
I finally got a Raiders jersey. Now you got me emotionally,
(36:34):
that was really struggling to keep it together.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
This is the thing with Facebook memories.
Speaker 5 (36:40):
After people passed, they still keep showing up, which is beautiful,
but it's a moment to reflect, really, only weeks after
she's not with us.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
Yeah, but I did say I finally got a Raiders
jersey for when they play up here, and I sent
a photo of me in the jersey and she wrote
back and just said good might give them some luck.
It was just so because I don't think they were
doing well.
Speaker 5 (37:03):
I want to go back and just see how we
were tracking good at that time.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
Of that season versus the world.
Speaker 5 (37:11):
Promised it earlier. A few things have happened. We're finally there.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
The Reject Shop.
Speaker 5 (37:15):
A couple of months ago declared war and came out
after they were born out brought out by a Canadian moment.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
I mean went, good luck.
Speaker 5 (37:22):
You've got the word reject in the name of your store,
and there's only one other word, and that is shop.
And here we are a couple of weeks later, and
we keep getting big news about things they're getting in there.
The Kiwis were pumped last week when the what that
what's that banana bar?
Speaker 2 (37:36):
They get what there's something Nana.
Speaker 4 (37:42):
I don't know what you're doing about.
Speaker 5 (37:43):
It's called it's like a prepping Nana. New Zealand listeners
thirteen ten sixty.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
What's that? What's that bar? You have? They love them,
the preppy nana bar.
Speaker 5 (37:52):
It's not a prepping Nana anyway, it was the Kiwis
were all about the Reject Shop got them the other day.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
Well, I've tried a few times to get the Reject
Shop on your radar and it has not been successful
so far. So the first one was rubber bands that
hold your rubbish bag in the bin so it doesn't
slip down when you put rubbish in there.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
I felt like we were struggling early with the battle on.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
And you didn't like that one. The second one was
a whole bunch of pink kitchen accessories and utensils, which
I thought was really cool. You again weren't sold.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
On that one. I didn't didn't care for it.
Speaker 4 (38:26):
No, So this one, I thought I might get you
across the line finally to go to the Reject Shop yourself,
because this is a great deal. The Reject Shop are
currently selling authentic squish mellows for six bucks. I thought
(38:47):
your girls would be into squishmallows?
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Are they yet?
Speaker 4 (38:50):
We were so squishmallows are like these really cute they
got on cushions, but they're like they in the shape
of like sorry, yeahyowie almost I was thinking of.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Squish squish.
Speaker 4 (39:06):
It's like a cushion, but they're in really cute like
there's a dog one, there's like a different frog. They're
really and they're real squishy, so they're really comfy to
cuddle and to snuggle up with. And they're probably the
size of bigger than a basketball, Like they're quite big.
They're normally going for about fifteen twenty bucks, right, and
they've got me authentic ones for six dollars.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
The battle is on Kman.
Speaker 5 (39:31):
If you're joining us for the first time, you'll have
just missed the confusion around the famous New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
Is it a Cadbury bar? Who makes this? It is
Cadbury and you can only get it when you go
across the ditch.
Speaker 4 (39:44):
Then you said it was the Perky Nana.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
I didn't say perky, he did preppy.
Speaker 4 (39:49):
He said preppy.
Speaker 5 (39:51):
Any similar confirmed. Thank you to the Kiwis he called
through on thirteen ten six.
Speaker 4 (39:55):
You can get that at the reject shop.
Speaker 5 (39:56):
The reject shop got the Perky Nara. I don't know
if it's a permanent thing, but I just saw on
line in Australia all the expat Kiwis were all pumped
up that their favorite.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
It's like a their national bar.
Speaker 4 (40:07):
I love a fake banana lolli. It's one of my favorites.
So this looks like it's right up my alley, Darcy.
Speaker 5 (40:13):
If you had a Perky Nana before I know, and
they don't want to know, you're missing out.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
You don't need to go take that out of context.
Speaker 5 (40:23):
Repeating it. It's people love it over there. What would
our national barbee?
Speaker 4 (40:28):
Oh, that's good, it's not a bounty. Don't even go there.
Don't even go there. It's not a bounty.
Speaker 6 (40:33):
I'd be on board with a bounty good man there is.
I reckon, you're on board with a perky nana. I
like a more ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
I had a perky nana.
Speaker 5 (40:42):
I was on the inaugural flight across to New Zealand
when we had those direct flights from camera. The New
Zealanders think this is a normal conversation, and I was
like you you. So I went over there and the
locals like, you've got to have a peerky nana. And
so I had a peak nana and I like him,
and you'd like him to, I.
Speaker 4 (41:02):
Reckon, I would really like him away. But our Australian
National bar back to that I record bar, which I
know Cadbury.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
Block of Cadbury, which sounds just have a block of Cabury. Mate,
there's Sony twny new bars.
Speaker 5 (41:19):
I think, if you want an iconic because I understand
the perky narn has been over the wagon wheel.
Speaker 6 (41:24):
Who has wagon wheels anymore?
Speaker 2 (41:26):
That's a good point. Or picnic. A picnic would be
a pretty Aussie bar and no one eats it.
Speaker 4 (41:31):
No, you know what I just discovered the other day
that a time out doesn't exist anymore.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Time out again.
Speaker 4 (41:37):
It was the best. It was like a twirl, but
with a biscuit in it.
Speaker 5 (41:45):
Without the caramel goods, yummy glad to Glad to hear.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
The back of it not even a same.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
See the back of the Rod and Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 5 (41:55):
Right now, this is just turned up while we're asleep.
Sony pictures the trailer to the next I Know What
You Did Last Summer? And you are somewhat of an
aficionado with this franchise.
Speaker 4 (42:07):
I'm so excited about this. So the original I Know
You Did Last Summer came out in nineteen ninety seven
and it was one of the first kind of horror
slash slasher films that got me into loving scary movies.
So it had Sarah Michelle Geller, Freddie Prince Junior, who
were both in Scooby Doo as well, had Jennifer Love Hewitt,
(42:28):
and had just a bunch of stars. Reese Witherspoon I
think was in it as well.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
That's where Courtney Cox.
Speaker 4 (42:33):
No, that's scream what's this one I Know You Did
Last Summer?
Speaker 2 (42:36):
They're different.
Speaker 4 (42:41):
Anyway, Yeah, they're very different, very different, similar times that
they were happening like that was the kind of genre.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
At the time, So screams meant to be a bit funnier.
Speaker 4 (42:51):
No, that's scary movie, which is the parody of the
scary movies. Scream's not funny screams.
Speaker 2 (42:57):
Also, I appreciate that if you're in a fisher of
these very different then no one's yelling. Everyone is going,
there's somewhat similar, very lace.
Speaker 4 (43:07):
They're similar in the the same genre. Sure, okay, they're
similar in that way, I guess.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
But the guy this one doesn't have the guy with
the mask.
Speaker 4 (43:17):
No, no, no, So this is I Know he did
last Summer. Of the original, they kill someone, they don't
tell anyone, and then they get a note saying, I
know what you did last summer, and then the person
starts to track him down and kill on one by one.
So this is a similar premise by what I know
the new I Know he did last Summer. It's it's
a sequel in a way, but it's also a reboot
(43:39):
in that it's a whole new cast. There's a couple
of returning cast members, which is really exciting, and it's
a new storyline, but same storyline anyway, it's.
Speaker 5 (43:50):
Completely different to the first one, like Scream is different,
quite similar.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
This is the new trail. Okay, it's a garden party.
Speaker 4 (44:05):
I think it's like an engagement party or something.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
Famous people, rich house.
Speaker 3 (44:09):
Our best friends are gettet married.
Speaker 4 (44:13):
Some Hello, could it be cashed?
Speaker 2 (44:17):
Okay, So you're going through.
Speaker 5 (44:19):
I mean, and I'm going to guess in the envelope,
it's gonna sack what I know.
Speaker 2 (44:24):
What you did last time?
Speaker 4 (44:25):
I think you're right.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
Check. I could write this myself.
Speaker 4 (44:40):
So now we're flashing back, all right, And.
Speaker 5 (44:43):
So someone's driven a car off the edge of a
cliff and everyone's freaking out.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
No one till anyway, where should go.
Speaker 4 (44:53):
About the day back of the engagement party? So last
summer they've accidentally killed someone made someone veer off the
road over a cliff down to the water, and they're like,
don't tell anyone, no one knows. Let's go. No one
will have any idea where we're here. And now she's
got a note saying I know you did last summer. Right,
gets better? You don't want to keep watching it to you?
Speaker 2 (45:15):
We just tell you what I've given another ten seconds?
Speaker 8 (45:22):
What if someone says outside of us, no one knows
what happened.
Speaker 4 (45:26):
This is the same film, same premise, different people. They
will die differently, quite makes it very Difficula Film
They came bounding over.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
What's the procedure.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
This is Roden Gabby versus the World.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Game two Wednesday. Welcome, Welcome to Blues. Darcy is a
Melbournie and if you made the.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Switch he made, he said the Blues.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yeah, I know. But if you come to your senses.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
As if they were now.
Speaker 5 (00:32):
Literally the dumbest time in the world, it's too late
for me, man. So you just hang on there as
a Melbournie and you can flip flop around.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
But this isn't the time to flip flop. We're done
like dinners over here.
Speaker 6 (00:43):
Yeah, I probably won't watch it though.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
You're back to the winner.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
Yeah, you're back to winning. You're going to get a slave,
You'll be the ultimate winner.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Alright, let's cross to produce a Chelsea's booth straight out
of the gate.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Good morning, produced Chelsea.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Good morning.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
I want to pol guys for my hypochondria. Everyone knows
the time that Darcy came in and sounded a.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Bit sick, and then you put him in isolation, had
a temporary booth built for him in a short period
of time, Yes, and then you were you were.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
You didn't come back for like a week, and poor
Chelsea before walked in and sneezed, and then I've never
heard so much panic in someone's voice.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Is that why I could spell Glenn twenty?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Did you do that? Did you sprak Land twenty? Because
you sneak?
Speaker 5 (01:32):
No?
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I didn't. I didn't listen.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
What time is your voice?
Speaker 5 (01:40):
You better stay in the booth today. No, no, no,
I've accepted that Gabby's daughter's unwell.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I know I'm getting sick. I know how it will.
It's how it all plays out. It's dominance.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
My daughter's unwell, So therefore you're getting sick that it
is true. But it's funny the way you said it.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
You've got to look for patient zero at this time
of year, where this deep into winter and everyone's going traveled,
all right, eone's looking at.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Ration zero is always the one that's at daycare always.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
That's how we know we're all about to go down.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Everybody we are hearing the travel for Australia is up
eight percent, down six to seven percent Australia to US.
So that's the stat as of this week. However, what's
the problem with Japan today?
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Well, travel's definitely down when it comes to Southern Japan,
because a so called prophecy has been circulating. There was
an earthquake reportedly coming in July, according to a comic book.
So there's a comic book named The Future. I saw
the complete edition. It was published in twenty twenty two
by a Japanese writer. The thing is, though, he did
(02:49):
actually predict an earthquake a couple of years back. So
in one of his other comics in nineteen ninety six,
he predicted the twenty eleven Great East Japan earthquake.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
It's not all that difficult. I mean, you know, earthquakes
are pretty common over there.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Well he start over be predicted one. So now he's
predicted what did he say, the real catastrophe in July
twenty twenty five in southern Japan. So everyone's like, oh, well,
I'm not going there. So for July and June, tourism
is really down to go to southern Japan just in case.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Yeah, And so there's that part of me that goes, well,
it sounds like, you know, this is a ripe for.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
A good deal, but it also makes me go right
for a catastrophe, which.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
One is that way the other good deal.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Though, it's a good deal.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
And Gabby versus the.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
World waking up to a minus eight point five, that's
the feels like to start.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
It's not bad minus.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Oh wait minus.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I appreciate your toughness. I have all the respect in
the world for the bung indoor girl. He just walks
in here in a pair of shorts and a T shirt.
Your modefied.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
I thought I didn't hear that's.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Tough and Psycho, that's true.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Where it is about your mona mate eleven the top
of this afternoon produce a Chelsea welcome to the studio this.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Morning, Thank you? Did you? Is this true?
Speaker 5 (04:18):
People are telling me this morning you were back on
Farmer Wan's wife last night. Have you been sneaking off
and filming.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Since I wish?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
No?
Speaker 4 (04:24):
No, you would have made the season better, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Well, don't ask her other half about that.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
That's a good point.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
You turn up on Farmer Want's wife, the expectations you
leave with a farmer No.
Speaker 7 (04:36):
So last night was the final episode of the season
before the reunion, and it was only the first half
an hour of the show, which was actually from this season,
and then the next hour was like a replay of
all the other farmers from previous seasons who have been successful.
It was also like Emily and David's wedding that was
(04:58):
on last night. They filmed their whole wedding. There was
a proposal, the baby announcement, and then Matt and Olivia
came on because they just had their baby, Henry.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
Yes, but given the flashbacks were of successful relationships and
you walked out.
Speaker 7 (05:12):
Yeah, you on there still, well now I feel like
I've been turned into the villain.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Fantastic what happened?
Speaker 4 (05:19):
That's what your rather half.
Speaker 7 (05:20):
Said, right, Yeah, So we were watching it and I
was like, oh, that's me, and then I was like
hearing what Olivia was saying, and she was like, oh,
it was just hard to compete with the other girls.
Flashback to me and me being like, yeah, I'm jealous,
Like you'll see it in a sec.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
And I'm like, the villain.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
This is fantastic.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
The villain all right, because often if you are, you know,
painted as the villain, you get the villain edit. It's
during the season to get a retrospective villain edit. You
are in the lastpigest company and that I think it's
just you.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Well, maybe it's because you did walk out, So back
then they didn't know you were going to walk out,
so they were fair and now they're like, now she left,
so we can painter. However, were oh, this is fantastic,
all right, their payback.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Let's go to the flashback or the retrospective section of
last night's Farmer Wants a Wife where producer Chelsea, who
was one of the final three participants in this farmhouse
at the time, apparently looks like a villain a kid.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
You did.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Okay, I don't know what anyone just said that, Chelsea.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Said, did you have a little kiss?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Producer?
Speaker 7 (06:26):
No one was speaking, and like I was the one
that would always say something like I didn't care.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
And then they looked at me, and.
Speaker 7 (06:33):
My producer looked at me and he was like, ask
the question.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
I was like, okay, awkward.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
I hear about this.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
It's almost like you have a personal coach because these
reality shows, and they call them producers obviously, but they
take you aside.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
They give you a g up.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
And go someone's going to you know, right, the person
that your producer would have loved that you were the
person who actually said stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
You wonder the villain, but you said it in the
funny little boys that you have a little kiss. Yeah,
I didn't want to make it too well. But then
the girl who you said it to you said it
back in a funny little voice.
Speaker 7 (07:06):
We were very close in the house, Annabela and I, but.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
You too didn't get the old mate, no farm.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
No so blondie over here, Olivia got old mate far okay,
and she's the middle man, so Annabel.
Speaker 7 (07:20):
In this scene, annabel had just came back, come back
from a date, and Olivia was like upset about it,
and then I was like.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
The middleman, being like on your stir Go back to.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
The start of this clip, because we need to get
the whole context of what's happening.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Now we know, do you guys have a kids?
Speaker 4 (07:35):
We didn't have a little.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I put the night with whoa.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Everyone's speaking in a very staccato fashion, so I'm going
to translate the girl who's jealous, who's ultimately the one
who's ended up married having kid.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
And it's all worked out fantastically.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Olivia is standing there cutting a cake or something, and
her response to this you've had a kiss, little kiss
was I'll put down the nine.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
She didn't trust herself with it, obviously, fantastic.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I'll put down the.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Knight with two other ladies falling hard for Matt as well.
Tensions were high on the farm.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Do you feel like you'd lied about spending alone time
with Matt?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Have you?
Speaker 8 (08:19):
Olivia?
Speaker 7 (08:20):
Is everything okay when feelings are involved. Yeah, you'll be
a little bit jealous when someone else has taken on
a date and.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
It's not you.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Good performance, good performance, And we know it was.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
A performance because just after that you were like, I'm
not even here. I'll just say it. Yeah, so jealous. Yeah,
well you know I am jealous.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Yeah. My producer put me after this, I'm causing a
real scene right here. Well good.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Anyway, I'm really annoyed because I was so mad at
five Want's wife yesterday when we found out the reunions
not until nine pm Monday, so mad about it. I
didn't watch last night's episode, the first episode I've not
watched this season, and Chelsea's I'm here with the.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Scene stealers, season stealer. Ask you keeping an eye on
the news, and the Chief is.
Speaker 6 (09:16):
Off Twitter, not yet, but almost off Twitter because there's
been a fifty decline in engagements just on Twitter, and
more engagements on other platforms.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Are we shocked?
Speaker 6 (09:28):
Yeah, no, no one is shocked. I feel like Twitter's
just yet only used by Americans.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Now I have not used that platform in ten years.
I don't even know if my logins still exists.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
I'll tell you when I use it when I'm upset
and an umpiring decision in the AFA specific.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Yeah, if you go back through through my Twitter history,
it'll be me posting some dumb observation with no context
around a decision.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
That was made.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
And it's obviously because people get into the hashtag, but
the games you're watching and they get into that stream,
and so it made sense at the time.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
It makes no sense. Now what, yeah, you're absolutely right?
Is what an.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
Interesting snapshot when it's obvious that this extraordinary situation where
the world's richest man has bought one of the largest
social media platforms on planet Earth and.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Then you just crashed it into a river. And you
know how anecdotal is that?
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Well, you know, the act government have a bunch of
different channels across the different platforms, depending on their departments
and those sorts of things, and what's the percentage decline
and engagement?
Speaker 6 (10:39):
They've identified a fifty percent decline in growth, and so
they're from July first majority of their social media posts
will go on Facebook, Instagram and linked in.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
So it's just going to dive even further because they're
not bothering to even post there anymore.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Exactly.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Well, the ABC they chucked all theirs out a year
or two ago. I think as Elon must began.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
To run off the rails. They're going and see where
this is God and so it is.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Incredible, and I mean I still call it Twitter, but
it's almost giving it too much respect.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
This ruin that is X.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Is it still called a tweet though? Called X?
Speaker 5 (11:13):
No one even knows. He didn't think about anything before.
He just went through through it, you know, like a
wrecking ball. However, it is significant enough you are right
in America to have an impact on election results and stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Anyway, we're out.
Speaker 6 (11:29):
That's just crazy though, how like the journey the whole
thing's had. And I don't know whether Australians disengaged after
Elon Musk as well.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Before that, I think it was just too much pressure
on me because putting up just a little quote had
to be smart and witty and funny all in one,
and it was I couldn't handle it.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
Didn't you used to use Facebook how people use Twitter now?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Maybe, but that was before there was pressure to be cool.
Now there's so much pressure to be cool and I
can't keep up.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Look the great thing about never having been cool, it
was never a problem. I was just like, well, this
isn't going to work for me at all.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
And Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
I'm noticing a lot of on news sites that I'm
on this morning, the guys from the US Mega Lotteries
have gone out and bought a lot of ad space today,
and I wonder about that because I wonder about the
legalities of Australians entering US lotteries.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
It doesn't feel Jill right, does it?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
King King? Wally's on it.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
They seem to have done any his face is on Itdors.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Well, yeah, it turns out that ossies are able to
buy tickets. But it says this is the quote right,
So see if you can decipher this, because I'm a
tiny bit confused. We're able to enter the US Mega Lotto,
which is available through the lottery office and matches winnings
from the US Mega Millions. So it matches winnings right,
(12:52):
So that doesn't necessarily mean that we're buying a ticket
into the US Lotto. It means that we're buying a
ticket that matches the winning So I.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Don't know the model, but I can only assume, because
they don't have all that money sitting there, they'd be
ensuring against the win and so the money that they
make from ticket sales.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I'm making all this up, but I'm guessing I'm right.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
I'm assuming you are on the money here.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Right, and there'd be some insurer that has gone no worries,
we'll take that riscent Rea, We'll take that gamble, and
so they'll charge one hundred grand, a million dollars whatever
it is to this lottery's mob. Now, in the odd
event that one of us jags the correct numbers for
that draw, yeah, they would then need.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
To pay out.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Well, that's an interesting assessment of it, and you're probably right. However,
the current jackpot is four hundred and thirty one million dollars,
I mean, and they say that every month or couple
of months, it's normally a billion dollars. So we were
just freaking out last week about one hundred million dollars
(13:53):
going off. By the way, the winner has still not
been found for that one. Somewhere in Bondai. This person
bought a ticket and they have a claim that hundred
million dollars.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Life's too good in Bonde You don't need you don't
need it.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
But we were like freaking out over one hundred million dollars.
Imagine four hundred and thirty one million dollars or a
billion dollars. That just sounds insane at.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
The end of the day, though ultimately these lotto draws
are bankrolled by ticket sales. Yeah, and so what's the
US population because there's the difference, that's why there's So
they're three hundred and forty.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Mil what do we twenty one mill or something?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Not astray your post twenty four, twenty.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Twenty six, right, so straight away you can understand why
our hundred mill actually proportionally is probably even a little
bit more than that.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
But you say, these will get up to a bill
from time to time.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
But that said, it was US versus twenty six million people, right, Oh, sorry,
every second adult Australian what's that fifteen wasn't gonna make
up a number fifteen ten million people, So we had
a one and ten million chance. Don't even don't even
try and start to explain to me the chance I've
got of winning the US Mega Lotto.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
You know what as an insurer. No wonder someone's taking
that on.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Yeah, it sounds like a good bet.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
No chance.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Rod and Gabby will go and catch up with Darcy
in a moment. The act budget leaks A day doesn't
go by that we don't get a leak.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
What's today? How much are we dropping on design work? Well,
I like where this is going design work?
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Oh well, I don't know that it's one of our things,
one of our sculptures, but I hope it is.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
I really love that there's like some frivolous No, I'm
sure it's not frivolous, but you know, like when it's
not an election year, it's a little more exciting because
they can take a few risks. You know.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
I'm sure I've misunderstood completely. Will find out what we're
spending our hard earned tax dollar or what the chief
is spending it on. However, in just a second, Warrick Kappa,
we all know the wizard. He was one of the
He was arguably the most famous Sydney Swan's full ford
in history. In the eighties, had hair like he was
a member of Bond Joe because it was the eighties.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Well gold hotpants on one point in me not.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
During the game, but yeah, he he You'll find if
you just type in warriorkap of God Hopbands.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Yeah, you'll find that. You'll google it.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
What reality TV show is he on? Because that's how
I know him. Was it Big Brother, Celebrity Big Brother
or something like that?
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Sure he was dropped in as an intruder into Celebrity
Big Brother?
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Yes, yeah, that sounds I think that's where I know
him from.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
I think you'll know him if you've been a long,
long time listener.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Of the show, you'll remember we were doing the.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
Show from the Royal Canbra show and the Wizard was
there with his van selling Warwick Cappuccinos.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
That's the true story. And the Wizard came over and
he was he was on the show, that's true. At
the Cabra he had the camera show the Warrick Cappuccinos. Anyway,
he is one of he's an AFL great and he is.
He's been banned by the AFL from turning up a
game anywhere in Australia for the next five years, and
the report last night on Channel seven. It sounded like
(16:56):
it was he just had too much at the Grand
Final last year. This was the.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Report MCG employees told the AFL Cappy yelled, was us
in the house? Before he was kicked out of a
corporate suite and evicted from the ground. Was in the house?
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Now if everyone who shouted their own name and then
followed it up with is in the house was banned
from the.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
AFL, you wouldn't have many people at the MCG.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
I'm doing that at our next Christmas party.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I like it. That's a lot more serious than well.
Speaker 9 (17:30):
On Grand Final day, Wara Kappa was evicted from a
private box. He told the people in that vicinity about
a female weight staff that she's attractive and she could
get a job in my brothel. Now that wasn't directed
straight at the staff member, but she did overhear it
and complained. He was evicted and for being highly toxicated
and intimidating that staff member was banned from AFL venues,
(17:53):
all of them right around the country for five years,
including all sporting events, not just footy, but concerts and
all other sporting events. Asked by Sunrise last night to
his management whether or not he thought those comments were inappropriate.
Wara Kappa responded to Sunrise, saying I made a comment
to people in my party that was overheard by Waite staff,
who became offended. I happened to think working in a
(18:14):
brothel is a great way to earn a living, as
it is a legitimate industry.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Now that's probably the part that needed the clarification, not
a turn of phrase. He actually owns a brothel.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
I was about to ask that exact question. I did
not know if he was just saying, you know, my
personal household exactly not, but he owns a business, yes,
that is.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I still think it's a problem.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Yeah, you can't be going around saying those things. If
people choose to work in that industry, good on them.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
But you don't anyway push people into it.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
We won't be seeing Warry Kappra at the footy for
a little while, which means you'll be back at the
Canbra show in no.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Time, Ah Rodin Gabby versus the World.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
The Chief Minister has put some money aside in this
act budget.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
We're learning with the leagues this week for design work.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
Yeah, for the police stations, which is much needed considering
what they've been going through recently.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
We're going to make our cop shops look like our sculptures.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
When I hear designs like the hour or something, who knows.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
You know, like we have the big the orange fish moth,
the fish moth down there in Camber.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
You know, we have so many great sculptures all.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
The way the airport that spins around, like the silver
UFO orb thing.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
I feel like that's the snows. I don't think that's ours.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
They have one of those. Chelsea's got one of those
in Danman.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
So yeah, anyway, I feel like it's the most interesting
part of this. It's three point seven million dollars will
go towards design works for Winchester and the city police stations.
So the city one is where they've had all the
issues with all the sewage and stuff that's going crazy.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Anyway, to design.
Speaker 10 (20:06):
Help with the sewage, I would design it, yes, yeah,
in that instance, the front of the because if there
was an ongoing problem with the sewage, but idea a
sort of a design frontage inspired by Jackson Pollock, you.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Would never know there was a problem. I don't know
what that one for The art fans out there.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Say too high brow. I have no idea what you're
talking about.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
You can go to our National Gallery and take a
look at what is our National Gallery's most controversial purchase
and at the time, what was the most expensive piece
of art in the world. I might be oversealing it anyway,
I'm sure Jackson Pollock fans loved that bit of gear.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Darcy is that that's it.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
There is one family the world finds more fascinating than
the Kardashians, and that is the British royal family.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
And in twenty twenty.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
Five, our access to them is off the charts. But
what was going on before they had their own social
media accounts? The Queen's Nanny, opening at the Canberra Theater
tomorrow may answer that question. It's written by a former
Canberraan journalist and author, Melanie Tates. She joins us now, Melanie,
thank you so much for the time. Congratulations on the
(21:24):
opening tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Oh thanks Rod and Gabby. I'm so excited to be
back at the Canberra Theater Center Playhouse's I'm not being
fund like, I'm not just saying this because I'm talking
to you, but it is my absolute favorite theater in Australia.
Like it's so beautiful to play in. It's a really
you know, you can get a really big audience in there,
but there's not a seat in the house where you
(21:46):
can't see what's going on, and you always feel like
you're part of it, like you still feel like you're
really close to what's happening. It's amazing. So I'm very
excited about the show being there.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Agreed, it's a fantastic theater.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Yeah, having written this play, how are you in things
like casting and directing or do you write it you
hand it over and then you just get to enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Well, I'm so lucky because on this play. So my
best friend in the world, we've been best friends since
we were nineteen, is Priscilla Jackman, who's basically one of
Australia's leading bit of directors. So I am involved in
every aspect of it because Priscilla's directing. I mean that
doesn't always happen with different directors that you work with.
But because we are such a team, you know, we're
(22:27):
like to finish each other's sentences kind of team, and
so I am involved in casting and all of that
kind of stuff as well, but it's overall it's her vision.
After I write the play.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
She it's a test of a friendship.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
I imagine you need to be very very good mates
or the friendship might not last well the actual run.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Oh yeah, I think. I think putting on a show
together is And this is our third, No, it's about
our fourth show we've done together now. Yeah, so we're
pretty solid. We're pretty solid. You know, would do every
play all the time with Priscilla if we could, if
we could, you know, work out the timings and all
that kind of stuff. I love working with her.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
Reports by staff is exposing what members of the royal
family are really like have always happened. We're perhaps just
more aware of them now than we were back in
the day. But is that how your story of the
Queen's Nanny was built? And can you put us in
the timeline? When about this was?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Yes, so so Crafty's book The Little Princesses she wrote
very soon after she was she was retired, and she
retired at thirty eight as the nanny. She'd been there
seventeen years, so we're talking about nineteen fifty one was
when the book came out, and it's thought to be
the first proper insider royal tell all same week. I mean,
(23:48):
it doesn't tell all that much. Let's be real, Like
if you read the book, like it's one of those
books that if you it's kind of like a sleet
story on the car map, you know what I mean,
Like it's very sweet and sacked, and like you don't
know why on earth the royal family would have been
upset about it. But the fact of the matter is
she was the first to put her name on it
(24:09):
on one of these and so therefore it was, you know,
a verified source, I guess, I mean Crawfy herself, as
a result of this book went on to be the
most quoted royal historian of the twentieth century. And everything
we know about the Queen, Queen Elizabeth her childhood comes
from Crawfy's book.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Why are we so interested in like the Queen's early
life and the royals back before social media? Because things
like the Crown are so popular. I've learnt a lot
about the royal history through that, whether it's right or wrong,
But isn't because.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
She was able to navigate her royal family in an
age that there were many royal families, and now that
model doesn't exist anymore. Sure, there's some royals getting around,
but they're just turning up to openings of envelopes, whereas
these guys it's in still is a monarchy.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Yeah, look, it's really fascinating and actually, just what you've
touched on there is something that we explore a bit
in the play because the Queen Mother, who we know
as the Queen Mother, is pretty much the other main
character in this play. It's Crawfy and the Queen Mother
are the main two characters. And the Queen Mother was
born in nineteen hundred, so when she was born she's
(25:23):
basically of Scottish Landed gentry. But when she was born,
there were royal families, like you said, in every European
country pretty much, and over her lifetime, certainly over the
First World War on Second World War, she saw them
pretty much. All of them except for the Brits either
exiled or slaughtered it. So she sort of did everything
she could to keep them together. So it'll be interesting
(25:44):
to see what happens after King Charles the Third dies,
like hopefully that's a long time away, but I don't
know whether they'll be able to hang on to it
in the same sort of way.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
What a fascinating snapshot of a moment in royal history
and we get to see it on stage at the
hand with theater sold that tomorrow night, by the way,
so congratulations on I sold that opening night.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
Tickets left go to Cambratheatercenter dot com dot a you
to get yours quickly or call us now thirteen ten sixty.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
We've got a handful. That's it though.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Congratulations by the way, Melanie, this is just a really
really cool achievement. On a personal note and on behalf
of us as a community, we appreciate you bringing it here.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Oh, Rod and Gabby, thank you so much for having us.
We're just so fun about being here.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Thank you so much, Rodin Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Let's play a quick blankety blanks. We all know how
this works now. After our first game a week or
two ago, I will.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Read this sentence. I will leave a word house.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
That's the blank, and wherever you are you can you
can fill it in. Yeah, you're at home, you're traveling.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
To work, getting ready of school. Here we go.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
I got in a bit of trouble last night thanks
to blank.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
Would you like me to fill in the blank for you?
Speaker 2 (27:04):
You can play along. What would you like to put
in there. I got in a little trouble last night
thanks to blank thanks to chocolate. Okay, how could this
make sense?
Speaker 4 (27:19):
So is this my fault or is this not? Am
I in the wrong? I would like to know, because
last night I was on the phone to my sisters.
We'll facetiming, so we're all having a chat, the three
of us, And while doing so, Nev came over my
husband and he gave me a twirl that he had
bought at the supermarket earlier that day.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
He's on fire at the moment.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
I was like, good on you, thank you so much.
I really appreciate that. I love a twelve. So I
opened the twelve and I was eating it mindlessly while
talking to my sisters, which is not the way you
should eat a chocolate enjoy it. I know exactly. I
should have been enjoying it. I should have waited so
that I could really take it in. But I did it.
I mindlessly ate it, and that was that was my fault. Anyway,
(28:04):
finished off the chocolate and Nev came back in after
taking the bins out and he goes, hold on, where's
my huf. It was a four pack.
Speaker 11 (28:20):
I didn't put a four pack in that idea that
we would share a which yeah, we normally would, but
because I was mindlessly eating it while on the phone
to my sisters, I ate or four and it was
really upset.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
I know.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
I gave him good props before I was at he's
on fire, and then he was putting at the beanies.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
He's right and high.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
He's not putting foot wrong except you want chocolate, I
don't give it to someone else.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
You can give me a sixteen pack, and how much
you get none, you walk away with the bins out.
It's over.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
Darcy keeping an eye on the news, obviously, And I
guess the question after Billy Slater's I think pretty articulate
spray yesterday probably doesn't even qualify as articulate words. The
question is, are the days of state of origin g
ups over?
Speaker 6 (29:08):
Oh definitely not. But I feel like in this context, potentially,
just because it's gotten such a big reaction.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
All right, let's listen. This is Aaron Woods.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
Yes, I didn't realize I thought we were talking. If
everyone knew what Billy Slater had said.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
Aaron Woods called Billy Slater a grub, and it's obviously
struck a nerve as we will just hear.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Now, Yeah, remembering Aaron Woods's played against.
Speaker 12 (29:39):
Billy Sla, we degrade someone personally in a derogatory manner.
You probably don't deserve one of those privileged positions that
you're all in. You don't know what people are going through,
and although I might be able to handle it, the
next person mightn't be. Maybe our last coach didn't.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
And that's a bloody series suggestion, because of course the
last coach, Paul Green, tragically not with us anymore, and
so the suggestion that he may have been a victim
of public sledging is a wild thing. Now, Aaron Woods
has said this in a public forum.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
Obviously, he's got that show on the radio up the
road and he's come out this morning.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
We can take a listen to his response to that.
If you just give me a second ear, it's only
been said in the last little bit. Where are you
Aaron Woods? Sorry, everybody can feel in form me for
a second there if you like Darcy. What else do
I need to know? Well other than that nothing.
Speaker 6 (30:30):
Yeah, it's actually kind of the whole story as like
coming up into this game tonight. We can talk about
it from a Raiders' perspective though, Yeah, Hudson Young and
Corey Hawsbro playing on opposite teams and then flying directly
after the game straight to the Tigers game on.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Friday, Friday Night footy at Gao fantasms.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
So from Perth it's a two hour delay. Do you
get your lagged from that?
Speaker 2 (30:56):
I reckon you could.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
It's a bit of an adjustment.
Speaker 6 (30:59):
I feel like, if it's a three hour flight and
you're they're three hours behind, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Surely you don't have to turn up a training in
between exactly get a rest. All right. Here's what Aaron
Woods said in response to that stand by them.
Speaker 8 (31:13):
It's part of something I said. With that responsibility, you've
got to have an opinion. I just thought Billy went
a little bit over the boundary, and I just think
it was just really I just think it was completely
unnecessary for the situation.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
All right. So no one knows what that even means,
but it is a response.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
I think it kind of means he's just said Billy's
taking the response a little bit too far.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
But the confusion is or is he suggesting that Billy
being accused of being a grub because he stood on
another player plays head once during an Origin game. Is
that what he's saying was too far anyway? Is a
result of such an ambiguous response, we don't really have
a clear understanding of what Aaron Woods meant.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
It's a weird sledging match before in Origin, no, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Oh, if you look at it.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
They obviously have a bit of a personal be going
on coming into play.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
And I think that's it. I think in isolation it's weird.
Speaker 5 (32:04):
I think in the context of State of Origins, it's
not without precedent, and I'm not sure this will be
the last, by the way, all right, thanks Darcy.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Cis Rod and Gabby Versus the world, Where.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
Did Quantas come in the best airlines in the world
that you're reporting on at the moment.
Speaker 6 (32:18):
Well, they jumped ten places from last year, so they're
fourteenth this year, one behind British Airways. They've done very
well compared to twenty fourth last year.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
So how many.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Airlines are They don't even know they were twenty four,
you know, there'd be like ten.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
Yeah, that's a disaster that we were twenty four And
I'm not even very pleased with this fourteen.
Speaker 6 (32:39):
We used to win this all the time, did we
I think we used to be like in the top
ten usually, but Katar and Emirates have been kind of
close for the top that this is the second consecutive
year that Qatar's won.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
They are pretty fancy.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
We don't stand a check at all. All right, thank you, Darcy.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
In just a moment again, he's beautiful. Nana, who would
have been one hundred and three a few weeks ago,
sadly only fell short by a week and.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
A half, has returned overnight. I want to say something
to you that I didn't get to mention.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
Oh, it's got emotional, it is.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
I will recompose myself.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
You was so tough, Well, you're gonna make me cry.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Back when your nan passed away, was in the middle
of the show.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
And I said, well we should stop, and you were
so resilient you went, no, no, We'll just keep going.
And so I've watched you through this time, and you've
shared with everyone that she wasn't traveling well she was
one hundred and two or nearly one hundred and three.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
It was incredible.
Speaker 5 (33:54):
Yeah, but you and your family have been really incredible,
and I was excited to hear that you had a
fantastic memory of her that turned up last night, and
you deserve that because you've managed yourself with such resilience
and toughness. So tell us a fun story so that
I cheer up.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
No, this memory came up this morning for me on
Facebook of all places, and it just brought a smile
to my face, as memories like this do when someone's passed.
But my Nana, she was nearly one hundred and three,
and she was so prevalent on social media, like she
loved Instagram, she loved Facebook. She had thirteen kids, she
had I don't even know how many grandkids, great grandkids,
(34:32):
great great grandkids, Like, there's nearly one hundred of us.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
I love that that's your family and you don't even.
Speaker 4 (34:37):
Know there's so many. I think they did account a
couple of years ago, and my mum turned to me
and was like, we'd love to get to one hundred
by the time Nana's one hundred, so start working on it.
But it was really funny, so we were nearly at
one hundred. Like ancestors of just Nana directly, she was crazy.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
She was born in twenty two, twenty two.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
You do need to specify in twenty twenty five, two nineteen.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Nineteen, twenty two, twenty two. Yeah, So there's a huge family,
massive family, and that's how she kept in contact with everyone,
not just kept across what everyone was doing with social media.
So Nana would sit up with her iPad and she'd
scroll through Facebook, and she'd comment on everyone's posts and
say little lovely little things below each photo, and it
(35:22):
was just really sweet. And it's just so funny because
like I see my parents and people their age struggling
with social media, and my Nana was just like a hero.
She was just the best at that kind of technology.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Well she didn't master it.
Speaker 5 (35:36):
I mean there's about one hundred of her offspring that
she wouldn't be able to keep across.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
It's a very good point, and she had time and
hands like.
Speaker 10 (35:48):
That.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
Anyway, So I got this little memory from four years
ago on my Instagram, So she would have been what
ninety nine when I sent her a little message on
Facebook because I was living up Townsville at the time,
and I had a couple of Cowboys jerseys because I
was going to all of the Cowboys games up there.
But whenever the Raiders played in Townsville, I refused to
(36:10):
support the Cowboys because the Raiders were my number one team.
Good commitment, but I didn't have a Raiders jersey and
my Nana was, I think a little disappointed at that.
So I have like a T shirt with the Raiders emblemono,
but I didn't actually have a full jersey. So I
managed to get my hands on one, and I sent
her a photo of me in the Raiders jersey, saying, Nana,
I finally got a Raiders jersey. Now you got me emotionally,
(36:34):
that was really struggling to keep it together.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
This is the thing with Facebook memories.
Speaker 5 (36:40):
After people passed, they still keep showing up, which is beautiful,
but it's a moment to reflect, really, only weeks after
she's not with us.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
Yeah, but I did say I finally got a Raiders
jersey for when they play up here, and I sent
a photo of me in the jersey and she wrote
back and just said good might give them some luck.
It was just so because I don't think they were
doing well.
Speaker 5 (37:03):
I want to go back and just see how we
were tracking good at that time.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
Of that season versus the world.
Speaker 5 (37:11):
Promised it earlier. A few things have happened. We're finally there.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
The Reject Shop.
Speaker 5 (37:15):
A couple of months ago declared war and came out
after they were born out brought out by a Canadian moment.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
I mean went, good luck.
Speaker 5 (37:22):
You've got the word reject in the name of your store,
and there's only one other word, and that is shop.
And here we are a couple of weeks later, and
we keep getting big news about things they're getting in there.
The Kiwis were pumped last week when the what that
what's that banana bar?
Speaker 2 (37:36):
They get what there's something Nana.
Speaker 4 (37:42):
I don't know what you're doing about.
Speaker 5 (37:43):
It's called it's like a prepping Nana. New Zealand listeners
thirteen ten sixty.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
What's that? What's that bar? You have? They love them,
the preppy nana bar.
Speaker 5 (37:52):
It's not a prepping Nana anyway, it was the Kiwis
were all about the Reject Shop got them the other day.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
Well, I've tried a few times to get the Reject
Shop on your radar and it has not been successful
so far. So the first one was rubber bands that
hold your rubbish bag in the bin so it doesn't
slip down when you put rubbish in there.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
I felt like we were struggling early with the battle on.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
And you didn't like that one. The second one was
a whole bunch of pink kitchen accessories and utensils, which
I thought was really cool. You again weren't sold.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
On that one. I didn't didn't care for it.
Speaker 4 (38:26):
No, So this one, I thought I might get you
across the line finally to go to the Reject Shop yourself,
because this is a great deal. The Reject Shop are
currently selling authentic squish mellows for six bucks. I thought
(38:47):
your girls would be into squishmallows?
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Are they yet?
Speaker 4 (38:50):
We were so squishmallows are like these really cute they
got on cushions, but they're like they in the shape
of like sorry, yeahyowie almost I was thinking of.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Squish squish.
Speaker 4 (39:06):
It's like a cushion, but they're in really cute like
there's a dog one, there's like a different frog. They're
really and they're real squishy, so they're really comfy to
cuddle and to snuggle up with. And they're probably the
size of bigger than a basketball, Like they're quite big.
They're normally going for about fifteen twenty bucks, right, and
they've got me authentic ones for six dollars.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
The battle is on Kman.
Speaker 5 (39:31):
If you're joining us for the first time, you'll have
just missed the confusion around the famous New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
Is it a Cadbury bar? Who makes this? It is
Cadbury and you can only get it when you go
across the ditch.
Speaker 4 (39:44):
Then you said it was the Perky Nana.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
I didn't say perky, he did preppy.
Speaker 4 (39:49):
He said preppy.
Speaker 5 (39:51):
Any similar confirmed. Thank you to the Kiwis he called
through on thirteen ten six.
Speaker 4 (39:55):
You can get that at the reject shop.
Speaker 5 (39:56):
The reject shop got the Perky Nara. I don't know
if it's a permanent thing, but I just saw on
line in Australia all the expat Kiwis were all pumped
up that their favorite.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
It's like a their national bar.
Speaker 4 (40:07):
I love a fake banana lolli. It's one of my favorites.
So this looks like it's right up my alley, Darcy.
Speaker 5 (40:13):
If you had a Perky Nana before I know, and
they don't want to know, you're missing out.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
You don't need to go take that out of context.
Speaker 5 (40:23):
Repeating it. It's people love it over there. What would
our national barbee?
Speaker 4 (40:28):
Oh, that's good, it's not a bounty. Don't even go there.
Don't even go there. It's not a bounty.
Speaker 6 (40:33):
I'd be on board with a bounty good man there is.
I reckon, you're on board with a perky nana. I
like a more ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
I had a perky nana.
Speaker 5 (40:42):
I was on the inaugural flight across to New Zealand
when we had those direct flights from camera. The New
Zealanders think this is a normal conversation, and I was
like you you. So I went over there and the
locals like, you've got to have a peerky nana. And
so I had a peak nana and I like him,
and you'd like him to, I.
Speaker 4 (41:02):
Reckon, I would really like him away. But our Australian
National bar back to that I record bar, which I
know Cadbury.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
Block of Cadbury, which sounds just have a block of Cabury. Mate,
there's Sony twny new bars.
Speaker 5 (41:19):
I think, if you want an iconic because I understand
the perky narn has been over the wagon wheel.
Speaker 6 (41:24):
Who has wagon wheels anymore?
Speaker 2 (41:26):
That's a good point. Or picnic. A picnic would be
a pretty Aussie bar and no one eats it.
Speaker 4 (41:31):
No, you know what I just discovered the other day
that a time out doesn't exist anymore.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Time out again.
Speaker 4 (41:37):
It was the best. It was like a twirl, but
with a biscuit in it.
Speaker 5 (41:45):
Without the caramel goods, yummy glad to Glad to hear.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
The back of it not even a same.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
See the back of the Rod and Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 5 (41:55):
Right now, this is just turned up while we're asleep.
Sony pictures the trailer to the next I Know What
You Did Last Summer? And you are somewhat of an
aficionado with this franchise.
Speaker 4 (42:07):
I'm so excited about this. So the original I Know
You Did Last Summer came out in nineteen ninety seven
and it was one of the first kind of horror
slash slasher films that got me into loving scary movies.
So it had Sarah Michelle Geller, Freddie Prince Junior, who
were both in Scooby Doo as well, had Jennifer Love Hewitt,
(42:28):
and had just a bunch of stars. Reese Witherspoon I
think was in it as well.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
That's where Courtney Cox.
Speaker 4 (42:33):
No, that's scream what's this one I Know You Did
Last Summer?
Speaker 2 (42:36):
They're different.
Speaker 4 (42:41):
Anyway, Yeah, they're very different, very different, similar times that
they were happening like that was the kind of genre.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
At the time, So screams meant to be a bit funnier.
Speaker 4 (42:51):
No, that's scary movie, which is the parody of the
scary movies. Scream's not funny screams.
Speaker 2 (42:57):
Also, I appreciate that if you're in a fisher of
these very different then no one's yelling. Everyone is going,
there's somewhat similar, very lace.
Speaker 4 (43:07):
They're similar in the the same genre. Sure, okay, they're
similar in that way, I guess.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
But the guy this one doesn't have the guy with
the mask.
Speaker 4 (43:17):
No, no, no, So this is I Know he did
last Summer. Of the original, they kill someone, they don't
tell anyone, and then they get a note saying, I
know what you did last summer, and then the person
starts to track him down and kill on one by one.
So this is a similar premise by what I know
the new I Know he did last Summer. It's it's
a sequel in a way, but it's also a reboot
(43:39):
in that it's a whole new cast. There's a couple
of returning cast members, which is really exciting, and it's
a new storyline, but same storyline anyway, it's.
Speaker 5 (43:50):
Completely different to the first one, like Scream is different,
quite similar.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
This is the new trail. Okay, it's a garden party.
Speaker 4 (44:05):
I think it's like an engagement party or something.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
Famous people, rich house.
Speaker 3 (44:09):
Our best friends are gettet married.
Speaker 4 (44:13):
Some Hello, could it be cashed?
Speaker 2 (44:17):
Okay, So you're going through.
Speaker 5 (44:19):
I mean, and I'm going to guess in the envelope,
it's gonna sack what I know.
Speaker 2 (44:24):
What you did last time?
Speaker 4 (44:25):
I think you're right.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
Check. I could write this myself.
Speaker 4 (44:40):
So now we're flashing back, all right, And.
Speaker 5 (44:43):
So someone's driven a car off the edge of a
cliff and everyone's freaking out.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
No one till anyway, where should go.
Speaker 4 (44:53):
About the day back of the engagement party? So last
summer they've accidentally killed someone made someone veer off the
road over a cliff down to the water, and they're like,
don't tell anyone, no one knows. Let's go. No one
will have any idea where we're here. And now she's
got a note saying I know you did last summer. Right,
gets better? You don't want to keep watching it to you?
Speaker 2 (45:15):
We just tell you what I've given another ten seconds?
Speaker 8 (45:22):
What if someone says outside of us, no one knows
what happened.
Speaker 4 (45:26):
This is the same film, same premise, different people. They
will die differently, quite makes it very Difficula Film
