Speaker 1 (00:00):
They are Delulu with no Solulu.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
What's a procedure.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
This is Roden Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Good news, bad news. It's Thursday day, which means we're
close at the end of the week. Bad news. I
thought it was Wednesday. I've lost a day somewhere.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
That's great, close to the weekend, it's great. Where do
you think it's Wednesday? That's Thursday.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
From the news room, Good morning, actually, Nolan, good morning
official cross to Gabrielle, good.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Morning, Good morning. That was very dramatic.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
How are you feeling terrible?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Something in my eye that I can't find, and I'm sick,
and it's just it's it's it's I tried to do
a sudoku to get my brain firing this morning and
it just was putting me to sleep.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yeah, that's the opposite. The desired result is we're waking
to It feels like a minus white. You are winking
a lot of Ashley this morning, and I don't know
whether or not Ashviel's unnerved or reassured by it, but.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Maybe she feels good.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
I think, gee, this is a huge call, straight out
of the game. I'm going to say it. I think
the greatest gag in animated TV history.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Is this season that season, I say, and season and.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I play fire, and that is the one who gets shot.
This is I've been laughing at that for a while,
you know, like myne decades. However, there's all sorts of
controversy around our act rue season and the kangaroo Carl
(01:51):
and I'm not gonna lie. This has perhaps been the
least controversial that we've had for many many years actually,
and we've made it right the way through. I think,
I think without incident. Tonight's the night that we shut
up shop.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Yes, yep, it comes to a close this evening. So
a bunch of reserves are already reopened, but mount Ainslie
Nature Reserve and Mount Madura Nature Reserve will be opened,
and that draws the kangaroo management program to a close.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
I anyone who has the courage of their convictions. I'm
back for the most part, and so I have a
degree of respect for those that will protest and go out,
you know, in the middle of an area where we're
trying to cull kangaroos. I'm like, I discourage it, but
I also go, well, you know what you obviously believe in,
what you're doing. I don't recall us having any reports
of such protests over the last two months.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I feel like you go along any of the outlying
roads and you see the number of kangaroos that are
dead along the road at the moment, and how could
you be mad about the idea that there's too many
kangaroos hanging around? Do you know what I mean? Like right,
and it's pretty bad.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
And I think it's a it's probably a more humane
way for them to die, to be shot.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Then, no question about that. I mean, the panel beaters
will suggest otherwise because they're missing out. Obviously, they're busy.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
They're going on holidays, they're making Matza right now.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
They've got a backlog. My excuse for no bushwalks expires tonight.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Roden Gabby Versus.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
The World and Ashley Nolan in the news room. Do
we have another stadium update?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
We do.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Well, we've had a reaction from the liberals.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Liberals, if it's a stadium update, it's stadium update in
true time, builders a choice to the city.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
It's a big disgrace.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
This is why we need a stadium updates. That's what
we say. And certainly there was a lot to be
said by can Buran's on social media yesterday. What does
the opposition say today?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Well, this is in response to Andrew Bass saying that
the GAO Stadium has ten years or more left at
least a decade, at least a decade left a life
left in it. And Leanne Cassley has said that that
comment shocked everyone and she would love to hear what
(04:31):
Camerons have to say about that. Now, obviously the Liberals
had their stadium policy at the act election. Leanne Cassily
told us that while they did have that policy, they're
in the process of revisiting it, so they don't have
a position on the Canberra Liberals at the moment regarding
(04:54):
what they want to do with the stadium.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I know. So she hasn't come out swigging, just been like, oh,
that's an interesting statement.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
The Liberals need to stop playing by the rules. Okay,
so yeah, this part where you go, well, I better
check with it. We want I don't know if anyone
else wants it. I want some more off the hip opposing.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Well, especially when you are the opposition, you're in the
position where you can say all of the things that
you don't have to act on it. So just go
to town.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Then, so Leanne Cassley has that opportunity to be if
your parents are split and in every second one of us
our parents split up and then dad gets you know,
a new and new other and and you stay with
dad on the weekend. Leanne Cassley is the opportunity to
be that mum and then give us whatever you want.
Whatever we she's trying to win us over.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Give us all the candy, give us all the stadiums,
give us everything.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
This is the equivalent of fruit loops for dinner. Yes,
we want a stadium and so.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Just tell us you're going to give it to us,
and we will like you, okay.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
And so I don't know if they're going to put
it on the placards, but I think Act liberals the
weekend parents you need, and I think that's a boat winner.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
It's the slogan for the next selection.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
To do it. Nothing else worked it for a while.
Twenty two hours ago, we learned that the sugar free
version of soft drinks are actually we more likely to
make us unwell and give us diabetes.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah, not good.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
And so every time there's news about snacks, it's.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Normally negative, right, It's not good news. It's normally like
the processed food that's killing you or whatever, like if
there's always bad news around snacks. So when I saw
this headline, of course I clicked it, and I was like,
please don't be click bait, Please don't be click bait.
Because the title is the best snack to eat if
you want to live until one hundred, and you can
(06:49):
find it at the supermarket for less than two.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
But is it dried fruit? Because if this is dried fruit, love.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Dried fruit, but not dried true love dried fruit.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
I'm the saying, you know, people chuck some some pretty
sensible stuff in the snack category and good good. I
know we're meant to do it, but it's not fun.
So is it a fun snack?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Well, I can promise you this was not clickbait. This
delivered because the snack in question is popcorn. So the
researchers who studied the secrets of one hundred year olds
has recommended this snack because it has a lot going
for it. And we're talking airpop stuff, not the butter
(07:32):
covered stuff unfortunately, like it's just your playing popcorn. But
it's very high in fiber. It's also very high in
complex carbs, and it has more polyphonoles vegetables.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I don't enough of that.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I don't know what it is, but they're meant to
be good. So pop popped corn is good for you.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
So the research is from the oldies who hit the tone. Yeah,
now you know better than anybody. A beautiful view departed Nan.
When she was asked one hundredth birthday, how did you
do it? She started lying the house down.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
She did.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
She's not they're not rongable.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yeah, you're right, and I don't remember her ever in
her life eating popcorn, to be honest, No, no, but no.
She did say the secret was not smoking or drinking,
and I'm like, dude, you you have a glass of
wine every night. At her funeral, we all did shots
of baileies in her honor because that's what she loves.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
A tribute. So yeah, if.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
You're doing that at the funeral, she was definitely a
bit of a drinker.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah, they all talk a good game, but you know
they mean having cigars since they were seventeen, and we
don't know it's genetics. It's good news for you because.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
In Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Okay, Gabby, I need your help before we go on,
before the day starts. I've noticed the channel. Yeah, well
way hours ago. A current affair gets replay really early.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
In the morning.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Oh and I have it on.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Why because there's some characters.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
There is some characters, and you know what, this young
fellow might just be a character. Okay, I want you
to I want you to tell me if he is
Australia's new most annoying man or if he's a bloody legend,
because there's a fine line. Yeah, okay, this this was
acca last night.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Meet Oliver, the man battling for the right to pay
in cold heart cash everywhere, and.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Of course a current of feir hammer out. So he's
walking along set the camera thing. I walked toward the camera.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Made and he's got cash, his key, got his tie.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Right, and he's got cash coming out of his pockets.
But why is why is cash king for this?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Yeh yeh.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
Cash is legal tender.
Speaker 7 (09:46):
Heaps of people use cash.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
It's a person's freedom, it's a person's money. I should
be able to pay for what I need in cash.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
But try telling that to the card on the fucking machine.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
There you go, classic a current affair. Try telling that
to the card only parking.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Actually try to swipe your ten dollar note on the
pay pass bit.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
That's the silly part. And the footage him going up
to yes where you tap your card with a ten
dollar note and go lookkie's not taking a ten dollar
note annoying.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
The university started making parking cash list, which I didn't
realize at the time. I, being a normal unit student,
didn't have much money in my bank account at the time,
still wanted to come to class, do the right thing,
you know, pay for parking.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
So what do you do when you're a woolenngung Uni
law student. You take it all the way to the
High Court.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
This guy is just doing it for the sake of
doing it, Like he doesn't actually care about pagging cash.
He does it, he's just doing it to stick it
to the man.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
When you had so annoying, when you had time. And
this kid, obviously, this young man obviously has intellect. He's
a law student. He's got he's got the smarts. And
while he is waste, while he is clearly an annoying character,
I want to be the first if I find myself
needing a lawyer to sign this guy up. This is
(11:14):
the sort of dog with a bone, nonsense that I
want from my legal representatives. Actually in the news room,
we've been very excited about the prospect of Australia joining
the space race. We've watched it very closely. They've had
that rocket ready to go up there in Queensland, but
there's been a few a few snags. It's launched. Is
(11:36):
that the news today?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
It has?
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Indeed, so it's been hailed as a major milestone for
the space industry. Here an Australian made rocket has been
launched in Bowen in North Queensland.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
We have the footage. I have not seen this. You'll
remember interested well, you remember I said, you know everyone's
doing it, China, India, the Yang, Everyone's trying to send
something up there. And so if we can do this
and continue a great Australian tradition of mechanical engineering that
was lost when the Holden and Ford factories were closed,
(12:12):
we are back in the game.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
As setting a forward to the moon.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Well, let's be honest, I mean, how often how often
did Ford with that the forward performance vehicle you know
factory they had there and people would they'd review at
these car reviewers and they go Ford have built a
rocket and then the ford has closed. But well, what
do we do with those mechanical engineers? And the answer
is build real rockets.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
I don't know if any of those guys are involved
in this, but this is the footage here, and we're
waiting to hear the guys from Mission control. Okay, we're
going going, We're going, it's going, it's going. It's okay.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
That's really official chat up by the control guys.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
The goals. The guys at Mission Control sound as surprised
as anyone, and they also sound like your mate from
down the pub. Yeah, going, it's going. Okay, it's hovering,
it's hovering, it's hovering, it's gone. Ment to hop it's okay,
(13:15):
and then it's crashed into the Okay, it barely.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Made it a few meters past the tree tops.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
I want to believe that the guys who engineered the
forty x R eight had nothing to do with this,
because that's what you.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Have absolutely put their name through.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Versus the world.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Fantastic guests on the show today, looking forward to catching
up with famous Australian comedian Daniel Connell. He's on Have
You Been Paying Attention?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
On Monday Night?
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, yes, and he's a camera boy. He's coming back
to the street theater in a couple of weeks. He
is just water fantastic career. He's ended up having.
Speaker 8 (13:53):
What sat next to a nervous flyer for the first
time ever on a flight recently. Her name was Liz.
She was sixty four years old. She shouldn't tell me that.
I looked in her bag and she went to the toilet.
Very chatty was Liz. She mentioned earlier in the flight
that she was a nervous flyer. I mentioned early in
the flight that I didn't care, but she just get
(14:15):
bloody chating away.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
He's going to be joining us in about half an hour. Look,
if you're a shift worker or you're an early starter
like us, but you know the day still needs to
be managed. You still good stuff. You got to do
the car NAP's normal, is it? I nap in the
car by most days My.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Days feel weird doing it.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Depends I am conscious of where I'm doing it.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
And how many people could see you doing it.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Oh, look, if you want to stand around and watch
me sleep, Yeah, it's creepy, that's sure. I mean, whatever
you're into it, you know, that's what you're like, I'll
put on a real show of me lying there motionless
in a reclined drivers seat. That's right, But so you
don't normally do it.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
No, not very often do I have to nap in
the car, but I needed to today because I had
an appointment in the afternoon. There's no point going to buggerdoor
back between worker and an appointment if there's only a
couple of hours.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Sorry, that's an obvious point.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
If you live close to work, it's not a problem.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
And I live over there at the border. Yeah, and car.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Naps makes it a little bit harder. So I decided
to go close to my appointment because then that way
I could just wake up and waltz on in pretty
much roll out of bed into the appointment. And so
I parked in an underground car park because I thought
that would be a little more private. And it was
like one of the Wilson's car parks underneath a hotel,
so it's quite busy. But I parked in the only
(15:37):
spot that was available and I went to recline my seat.
Then I realized I was busting for the loop, so
I'm like, that's okay. So I just went up into
the hotel lobbies and went to the bathroom, and then
I went back down into my car and locked myself
in fully reclined my seat, and I went to close
my eyes, and I realized the park I got was
(15:59):
direct under one of their fluorescent lights.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Oh no, no, no, no, it.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Was shining straight through my windscreen. I was like, oh,
this is not going to do. So I'm in an
underground car park. I'm trying to be discreet and I'm
trying to not draw attention to myself. I don't want
the hotel to freak out that they've got a squatter.
So I pull out the sunshield that goes over your windscreen.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
This is absolutely arousing suspicion, but.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I needed to block out the fluorescent light with it
in my eyes.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
That part just pulled it out.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I put it on the windscreen, despite being underground with
no sun anywhere near me.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Okay, rewind thirty sings. I don't want the hotel thinking
that I'm living in the underground car park. I then
erected a tense is this breaking news? I saw a
blow up haping On the other side of the desk.
Producer Chelsea and Gabby were looking through some snare he
leaked photos of Maths the MARRIEDI first sight. Why is
(17:03):
everyone shouting?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
My sister just sent me this. I'm going to read
it to you. Maps twenty twenty six is already shaping
up to be one of the sauciest, raunchiest, and most
highly anticipated seasons to date, and the weddings even aren't
even halfway. We can reveal that male entertainer Will Parfit
has been spotted filming scenes for the new series. So
(17:24):
you know Bill because he looks exactly like Channing Tatum
and he is a male stripper and he does the
Australian version of the Live Magic Mike, so you might
not know him, but he exactly like Channing tATu, like exactly.
I've met him in person and it felt like Chatting
Tatum was walking toward me. And if he was the
(17:46):
groom that someone was walking toward on MARRITI first site,
you would die, Oh you would. But here we were excited,
we were squealing, we were like, this is gonna be
the best groom ever. And then you scroll down to
the comments and Will has commented, He's the first comment
comment on their say spoiler alert, I'm not a groom.
(18:07):
He looks like he's just the best disappointment. He is there,
he was there and he was filming and he's holding
the ring box, so he's the best man.
Speaker 9 (18:17):
He'll do over the episode.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Still, you're hoping they're gonna love it, Like I know you,
They're like, wait for the groom looks, oh he can
this is I've experienced it.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Goodness. There's questions and they will be answered when married
at first sight return? Is this for later this year?
Is for next year?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
At the moment? Normally January right the middle of the year.
Is it straight after this Traine open that they do it.
Speaker 9 (18:50):
Yeah, Usually it's usually in like that end of January February.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
I'm following a British guy and he for some reason,
he's getting the inside scoop on where they're filming the weddings,
and he's turning up.
Speaker 9 (19:02):
Yeah that's math's funny.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Yeah you know that guy on what is he on Facebook?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
And he keeps yeah right, I've just popped him up
on the screen.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I've watched his video.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
He shows up and then he does a selfie video
where he walks along next to you know, the people
getting married and the producers. Like yesterday he was at
the beach. There was a beach wedding or something.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
It's going to be in the background.
Speaker 9 (19:25):
I'm wondering if he's going to be in the background
of any of these shots.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
So he started taking his shirt off and doing like
going for a jog in the background of weddings now
and so I don't know what this one is. There's
one of the brides you know, in the in the
dress and the whole thing. Final Moments of Freedom funny
podcast lab and location. So this British guy is doing
commentary to himself as he walks along next to the
official TV crew filming room and that are.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
You the Groom?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
So the couple are going from the road here they
get a bit of a walk across the dirt and grass.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
It's the ceremony.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
There are you the Groom? That's going to be going
on in the background.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
And this year I'm just going to follow his videos.
I don't even he does.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
It every yo.
Speaker 9 (20:06):
Yeah, he goes like up to them when they're at
their hotels and things like that.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
So he gets in with a lot of it.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Doing a good job.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Rod and Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
What is splash lab? I don't know what it is,
and I feel like I want to go to Splash Lab.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
It looks pretty fun. It's a new way to get
creative in camera. It is kind of what it sounds like,
but it's with paint.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
When I had.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Splash Lab, I was like like water park. So it's
a paint splatter experience. So you go into a studio
and you can throw paint around and get missy and
create art. I love that masterpieces to take home.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I've got a messy when it's organized best.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
You know, and when there's some you know, head to
toe has Matt style.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Suit, Yeah, a smock ache going to do it for this?
Speaker 1 (20:56):
No, no, this is common sense. We don't know. But
if they go, I hope you bought a change of clothes.
I don't think it's going to go as well as
they're hoping.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Well, that's what they do for the color run. And
then like I had to pick up my niece from
the color run one time, and I'm like, there's a
towel for you to sit on because you are absolutely
not sitting in it in that.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Yeah, there's a towel to sit on. It's probably ambitious.
There's a hose over here. If we're going to hose
it down before we give you a towel to sit on.
The longer time goes on, the more I realize all
roads lead back to Canberra. It's very rare that we
speak with anyone. It doesn't matter where in the world
(21:37):
they are, invariably if they aren't from here, don't have
a family member here. And because we know we all
came here to you know, go to the museum. But
there's there's some there's some connection. And for Daniel Connor,
the fantastic comedian, it's a pretty obvious one. Both his
sisters here. He lived here for years as a young fellow,
(21:58):
originally from the coast. Daniel Gooda in a pre emptied
welcome back, you're performing here on the on the fourteenth
at the Street Theater.
Speaker 10 (22:06):
Hello, yes, yes, very keen to get back. I always
love coming back to the bearer. You mentioned Questicon there.
I know Questicon is very famous in Canberra, but it
is so underrated. I still think I went there six
months ago and I was this needs to be talked
about more. How good it is.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
It's funny as a local who always kind of had
it so that when you've come back to visit family.
How did you land questicon?
Speaker 10 (22:30):
Just with my Sonny wanted to go, wanted to check
it out and it was Yeah. We I spent about
six hours there. I loved it.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
It's the best of a bad weather day and you
need to get the kids out of the house, just
have the whole day. Quest to God, it's the ball.
Speaker 10 (22:44):
What a way to spend a day.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I haven't been for too long. Is that giant moon
down the bottom?
Speaker 10 (22:50):
Moon's still there, laid under that for a good fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Gabby, we're going back.
Speaker 10 (22:55):
That's back there.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Big from Bateman's Bay. I'd love your perspective on this because,
as we call it, the other suburb of Canberra, because
in summer, the entirety of Canberra moves down to the
coast as a Bateman's Bay. Boy, do you look or
do you hate that?
Speaker 10 (23:12):
Yeah. As the years have gone on and I understand
how the economy works, I now like it. But when
I was a teenager and I was work over summer
at or Leaves and trying and get a park in
town to go to work, all those blue number plates everywhere,
and you know that young guys would come into the
(23:33):
pub and yeah, you know it was. Yeah, I dislike
it when I was a teenager, but now I get
it and it keeps the town alive.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
As an eighteen year old bloke. Yes, very few are
walking around their country town going gee, this is tremendous
for the economy. It's just not something you say, understandably,
the local see the blowings come exactly. You put up
with it. And then obviously you know this career choice
takes you around the country and of course you're in
(24:03):
I guess the capital of Australian comedy and that is Melbourne.
How fat I mean this trade, it's terrifying. It terrifies
me any of us think about getting on stage of
trying to make an audience laugh, but to make a
career out of it, it's some hard yak.
Speaker 10 (24:20):
You've got to travel, right, Yeah, yeah, it's been. Now
I can come to camera and play the street theater,
but it's in my sixteenth or sixteenth year now of
doing it, so there's a lot of I moved to
Melbourne in twenty ten and it was probably seven or
eight years of outmost nights of the week, probably doing
three hundred odd gigs a year, just trying to get
(24:42):
your foot in the door and just get better. Basically,
that's the thing you need to do, the most important thing.
So it is terrifying to start, but that all sort
of goes away as the years go on, and then
it becomes really fun and now that you can sort
of draw a crowd, that makes it even more more wedding.
But yeah, it is a tough slot, like any any industry.
(25:04):
You know, it probably takes a good decade to get
your foot in the door.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Well, now you're less terrified because you are doing amazing things.
Does that mean you then test yourself in the terrifying
stakes by going on, who's been have you been paying attention?
Speaker 10 (25:18):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, so more more terrifying things come along,
that's right. Yeah, so you you work your way after that.
But then, you know, I hadn't done much TV before
I did my first one of those, So the first
couple are you know, you're definitely in the zone and
the heart rates up a bit. But like anything, the
(25:38):
more you do it, the more comfortable you become. And
everyone there is so welcoming and it's such a fun
show to be on, so there's no it doesn't feel
like you're in a competition. Even though there's a score,
everyone's very welcoming and supporting.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
More is really not the thing, Like no one actually
can store even go.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
On the screen, like you know, a proper score and
a competition a game, there's a score in the corner
of the there's a graphic or it comes up from
time to time after someone's scores. I don't recall ever
seeing a score displayed. Tommy might occasionally just do a
vague recap.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
It's always because he's the one that has to come
in with the answer after the fuddies.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
That's true sensibility.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (26:18):
Yeah, I've been told that people still people still like
to know who's won and everything, which I find interesting. Yeah,
but I think that a few diehards love the love
to see who's won, always.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Coming with a score, and I'm like, oh, that's right.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
It's always a stickler no matter where in life.
Speaker 10 (26:35):
Yeah, I'm certain I've never won an I doubt I
ever will.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Well, congratulations, this is a great camera e ish story.
A certainly the boy from the Coast, you know, trying
things out in Queen the NFM as a young fella.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
And now a Queen the NFM.
Speaker 10 (26:51):
I'm guessing yeah, yeah, I did a Friday night sports
show with a mate. I was still working in defense
at the time. It was about two thousand and eight
and I did a Friday night sports show with a
mate called Nick Risteski.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
He was there in twenty two thousand and nine, I
was at Queen Beaff.
Speaker 10 (27:10):
Really did you ever come across James Buckley? Jimmy Buckley,
he was. He was the host of the show on
Friday nights.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
I couldn't tell you.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Great thing. The best thing about community radio commercial radio,
you go three or four shows, and you know, we
just keep turning up every day. Community radio there can
be a different show every hour saurday, and so you're right,
you could have been on at the same time.
Speaker 10 (27:31):
Ye we would come on after the Friday night bird
call a little guy that did birds, and we were
on him talking rugby league.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Now you're on the telly with some of the best
comedians in the world, and you're on fire. The too
box headed man baby is the name of itself. We're laughing.
August fourteen at the Street Theater, Preemptive. Welcome back, mate,
so we'll see you here soon. Cheers, no way for
the chest and Gabby versus the World Chelsea joining US
(28:04):
text line zero four one seven to one four.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
You're out south Side represent Yeah. When it comes to
these goodies, well.
Speaker 9 (28:13):
I haven't found a good bakery yet, so this will
be good.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
You carry the way to south Side and gen Z
show really the shoulders. Yeah, there's there's a lot to
cover off with all that stuff. However, you've got the
list of excuses that can Bearn's and Ossie's are using
to try and get out of being busted on their
phones by that doovy whacker that is just southbound on
the Bart And today there might be a couple. I
(28:36):
think I think we've got a couple of them across
the territory that shows.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Up near my house in Punin all the time, all
the time.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yeah, so let's you know, let's not touch up.
Speaker 9 (28:45):
Always feel like I'm doing something illegal even though I'm not.
When I see those cameras two hands, Yes, today you're
not doing anything.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
I was almost flipping. I always almost thought I'm going
to hold my hands up flat, and then I thought
that might be a problem. You know what, I meant
to drive with your hands at flat? Idiots wheel don't
try and entertain the camera. So what are the excuses here.
Speaker 9 (29:09):
So some of the excuses that people have used is
it's a receipt tin, like why are you carrying that?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
I was carrying. Yes, so you know those like.
Speaker 9 (29:19):
I was holding a receipt tin, which the judge dismissed.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
I see they got out of get out of.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
Which the judge dismissed, offering offering them to pay a
five hundred dollar fine.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Oh so they had to pay it. They had to
pay it, Like yeah, okay, that's just as distracted. If
you a receipt to.
Speaker 9 (29:37):
Be Another one someone's used the excuse of it's an
electric shaver.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
No one's shaving. And if you are shaving in the car,
that's terrible. I've seen it people shaving in the car.
Speaker 9 (29:48):
I've heard of it's doing your ma car.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
No, I've seen people shaving in the car. I saw
and brush your dog in the car. They should be
their license taking off them in their car crushed. All right,
these are all bad, but they're possible.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Another one, it's.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Bad if I was in charge.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
This is why you are not in charge.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Well, just give me the green light. I'm taking away
every second person's license if you do.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Take this to court as well.
Speaker 9 (30:10):
They do show more clear photos, so if you're trying
to say that it's something else, they're like, no, it's not,
because they're showing a really clear photo of you holding
your phone. But some people have used some food items
such as a kit kat or banana bread, a maxibont
I reckon.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
We discussed if you're driving along eating a maxibon, just
pay the fine. I know that legally. I think legally
you're allowed to eat a maximon, But there is no
food item resembling a phone more than a maxibon.
Speaker 9 (30:42):
That's funny.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
That's all that has come up.
Speaker 9 (30:44):
But so far this year, just this year, eight hundred
and seventy nine people have tried to say that's not
a phone.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Right, I like people fighting it. Imagine how many people
have actually been caught.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Yeah, oh yeah, it's one.
Speaker 9 (30:57):
It's like one in every nine hundred and fifties. Even
drivers are breaking the law.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Yeah right. The authorities are smart and that they've just
planned a seat of doubt where they go. We're sending
you the low quality footage and if you want to
show cord, yeah, then you're really bassett, unless, of course
it really is a max of bonhom and you're like
look ice Cream Center, it's Origin and Raiders Star had
some young We haven't seen you in the flesh for
(31:22):
too long. You've been busy with what were you doing
last week? Pilates? It's helping though.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Yeah, it's been good.
Speaker 7 (31:28):
Obviously had that little bit of a pubis and groin issue.
So yeah, we have a little crew that go over
to ground up and Brandon there.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
So yeah, it's good.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Because that's right in the headquarters, right, like you just
skip around the streets.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Yeah, it's easy now we just walk over there.
Speaker 7 (31:42):
Yeah, but before we had to go to Dixon and Nut,
so it's recently open and it's a bad facility in there.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I was just saying, my dad has a groin injury
at the moment, and I told him to get to
pilates with the Raiders. Yeah, he just laughed at me.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
You're telling him he's not playing finals, so he will
not play.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Don't get on the field, dad, He's.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Not a shot at the minor premiership. You see this
is a beautiful video where Chad Townsend, he's he's a
staff for the Cowboys. Was he up there when you
were there?
Speaker 10 (32:06):
Gaby?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Lovely guy, nicest guy. I want a Premiership with the Sharks.
You would have played against him, you know him. Yeah,
what did you think about his announcement? Was it yesterday
that he's pulling up stumps? Did you see that?
Speaker 7 (32:17):
Yeah, I've seen that online and yeah, he's been a
tremendous player for such a long time, and he's one
competitions and played over a number of clubs, and yeah,
he was always good to come up against.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Did you see his announcement?
Speaker 2 (32:29):
I did it because I was in a state where
I knew that. I just burst into tears, so I
chose not to do you want me to play it,
you can play it. I'm fine now. But I was
just saying, you know, when you have to be in
the right headspace to watch these kind of things. And
all of my friends were saying, I'm crying, and I'm like,
what arn't But I think of your kids.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
So yeah, videoed him just telling his kids how I'm
going to be at home a lot more right, which
I absolutely get in your mind, you go, this is
going to be a great video. It's good news. But understandably,
you know, you grow up wanting to play it highest grade,
and then once you get into your later teenage years,
you get the call up, and so you don't know
a world other than this. I don't want to start
talking to you about retirement. But for him, you know,
(33:11):
he was understandably emotional, right, yeah, all right, let's have
a little look at this for a second. Here.
Speaker 10 (33:16):
Daddy has something he needs to tell you, guys. What
and what is it?
Speaker 1 (33:25):
You know how daddy plays football? Yes, well dad?
Speaker 10 (33:30):
Is he that Daddy's not playing football anymore?
Speaker 7 (33:33):
Because it's it's time for Daddy to play you guys, Dad,
could you play?
Speaker 10 (33:43):
I can play with you.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
I'm getting emotional, yeah, I said, I the right mind
space to watch that. I don't think any mind space
would have been not.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
For his young fellows. He's got beautiful kids. He's got
three daughters and his young fellow you can still play footy, dad,
Oh so beautiful. It's a beautiful way to announce it,
and his kids us sorry about that. His kids were
we're talking, but the kids knew. They were happy tears.
And so that's that's an incredible career. You can only
aspire to a career like that, you know, particularly when
(34:15):
you spoke with us a few weeks ago, what it
meant to you personally as well as the club to
have a legend like Big Papa while whilst not announcing
his retirement breaking the club record. You know, really from
a moment that you can reflect upon one of the
great careers in rugby league.
Speaker 7 (34:31):
Yeah, and little videos like that just reflect how important
forty years to some people in their life. And yeah,
it just goes to show, yeah, how much obviously Chad
loves his family in that as well, and yeah, yeah,
the kids obviously wanting to keep playing forever.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
He's a good man. All right, you got plenty of
time before we start talking about that, and kids, We've
got stacks of time. I got to ask you. So,
there was this fantastic bit of coverage when we were
watching the game against the Knights. Well done your pass
maybe a level minutes out from full time's jes it was.
It was a monster. It was a goody over to
Rix young fellow and then it ended up resulting in
a try. However, not long before that they crossed to
(35:11):
the crowd and we looked at this on Monday. I
wonder if you, I don't know, if you have a
lot of time to look into the crowd and see
the characters the supporters. So I'm going to play this
for you and you tell me if you recognize this
this character. So a chance to push this out. I
take you the two, I get a fourteen point lead,
and the Lord Vader is in the house. And so
(35:34):
one of the supporters has a Darth Vader. It's not
like a mask to helmet. It's the full thing, but
it's green. Do you see him when you're playing?
Speaker 7 (35:41):
No, I've never seen him, but a few of the
boys were actually saying it the other day because I
thought we've seen him in and around training, and they
said that he goes to every game.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Dressed like Darth Raider, where as should be that.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Well, we asked, We asked a lot, We asked about him,
and we've got a lot of messages. So he's there
week in. Yeah, but he's in the club colors, so
you know, he blends in anyway. We found it live
in Dixon. Let's go there, now, Darth Raider. Good eight
here you gon there he is and he doesn't sound
like James Earl Jones, the traditional Darth Vader, enough.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Of a raspy voice to get it across the line.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Though, absolutely a Darth Raider that helmet. You're wearing. Is
that custom because it looks exactly like Darth Vader's but
it is green? Or did you just get out the
spray paint?
Speaker 11 (36:27):
It's customized by me?
Speaker 1 (36:31):
So bitter, bitter cold, b How long have you been
showing up to games for with? Because that helmet looks restrictive?
How long have you been doing this for?
Speaker 11 (36:40):
I started in twenty sixteen, actually faring?
Speaker 10 (36:43):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Do you ever miss any tries because the proper vision
on helmet wouldn't be great?
Speaker 10 (36:49):
No?
Speaker 11 (36:50):
I don't generally miss any. I deathened myself afterwards. How
so well, the sound tends to reverberate it on the
helmet and the helmet I tend to shout pretty Hey.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
We saw the statistics the other day. Did you see this, Hudson?
The ticket sales for the Grand Final? They identified which
clubs have snapped up the most tickets for the GF,
in other words, those that have the most belief, and
the Raiders came in number one. We've got the highest percentage.
Do you see that? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (37:21):
I did say that.
Speaker 10 (37:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (37:22):
It just goes to show the faith that our community
has in us at the moment.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Have you got yours? Darth Raider?
Speaker 10 (37:29):
If you could.
Speaker 11 (37:31):
Okay, okay, well on a Unfortunately I'm disabled so on
a pension.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
So in addition to your managing your ability, you're coming
into a crowd Choco Block Goo Stadium and you're getting
kitted up to support the team. Good man A right,
we find ourselves in a Grand final.
Speaker 11 (37:53):
I kind of met Hudson on Monday.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Actually, oh did he leave a good impression? Yeah, yeah,
I remember, I remember seeing you in it trying and.
Speaker 11 (38:05):
Yeah yeah, him and him and Morgan were off to
go and grab a coffee or something.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
I'm not sure, but.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
Well, very good. Hey Darth Rader, good to chat to you.
We're going to stay in touch as we try to
secure a minor of premiership at the end of the season.
Two more home games for you to appear. You're going
to be at both those.
Speaker 11 (38:27):
I find your lack of faith disturbing. We won't trying
to secure it.
Speaker 10 (38:33):
We will secure The force is strong with you, Darth Raider.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
All right, very nice, Thank you very much. The fans,
I see the effort. That's what a beautiful, beautiful example
of the effort that fans go to, whether or not
you're just chucking on a green scarf. Or you're fully
kidding out a Darth Vader helmet. He wears the whole
uniform too, by it was at the cape and the
whole thing. It makes a difference when you're in the middle, though,
doesn't it. That's what our home ground advantage is.
Speaker 7 (38:55):
Yeah, one hundred percent. Especially we've got people dressed up
like no, you can actually feel like the difference. We're
obviously winning helps and it's really contagious amongst everyone, but
even like arriving to the ground and leaving the ground,
you can just feel the real sense of excitement amongst
all the fans at the moment.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
All right, incredible. We're on the road. It's that weird
Twilight Game on Saturday. I don't think you care what
time it's on. It's just I on the prize taking
on the Dragons. We are traditionally their bogey team, and
I love that. I love that before we even get
out there, they get nervous.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
What's a bogey team?
Speaker 1 (39:30):
We we we doesn't matter how we're traveling. We always
beat Saint George. Oh yeah, it's fantastic anyway, bo we're
traveling well, so we should all right, mate, glad to
hear you fit thank you for the time today, and
we look forward to seeing you on the Tellion on
the Park on Saturday night.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
Thanks having me on and Gabby versus the world all right?
Speaker 1 (39:49):
When someone proclaims quote a dagger to my heart's I
presumptuously go, well, that's melodramatic. I don't know what led
to that moment.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
I think it was completely warranted. There's a lot of
moms and dads out there who have a hard time
when certain things happen that prove their their kids are
growing up. And at this point, I haven't had that.
Like a lot of people get upset when they're packing
away the tiny clothes because they've grown into bigger clothes
(40:21):
and things like that, and it hasn't really worried me
because I'm loving watching her grow up and see the
world through my daughter's eyes. So I'm just enjoying all
the moments. So just because she's in bigger clothes, it
doesn't really pull out my heart strings like it does
to some others. It really does that, but you know,
(40:42):
there's always going to be a moment where something does
happen and you go, oh no, And that happened to
me and it was my dad's fault.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
So week.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
It's funny because last week we were like, oh, we
haven't heard enough about Bob lately, and today and this,
he's really made an appearance.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
After this week, he won't be making any more appearances,
and it'll be his choice. I don't think he's gonna
come on again.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
No, no, no, he's already asked me to stop talking about
him multiple times.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
Yeah, he's avoiding it. Used to start the show.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
He's not a fair.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
Pill com ah.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Anyway, he didn't mean to do this, and this is
really he's completely innocent in this in that he didn't
do anything malicious.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
Will be the judge of that.
Speaker 10 (41:24):
Yea.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
So so my daughter's nearly too, and I am mummy
to her mummy and daddy and it's very cute and
she calls out my name all the time and I
love it. And then we were at my mom and
dad's and I've mentioned before my mom and dad's house
is called the snack House, and we go there and
she loves snacks. She loves all the different like little
(41:45):
bluey snacks that she's gone in little mini shapes and
all of the things that my mom buys. So we
don't get there too often. But we were there the
other day and she wanted a biscuit. She wanted another biscuit.
And she was sitting on my dad's lap watching the
TV and asked for another biscuit and turned to her,
and he was doing the right thing because this is
what you do as a grand well you should do
as a grandparent. He said, you better ask your mom, okay.
(42:08):
But by saying you better ask your mom, all of
a sudden, she started calling me mum instead of mummy,
I know, and I had to quickly correct her. And
I was like, well, well, well mummy. And now she's
using it to tease me. And she'll sit in the
back of the car and she'll go mum, Mum. I'll
(42:29):
go it's mummy. She'll go mum. But if she actually
wants something, she'll say mummy because she knows that's what
we'll get my attention. But if she just wants to
poke the bear, she sit there calling me mum, and
I hate it.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
And see till now, because genetically she inherited the stirring
gene for your husband. She's been poking the mummy bed.
Now she's poking the mummy
They are Delulu with no Solulu.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
What's a procedure.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
This is Roden Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Good news, bad news. It's Thursday day, which means we're
close at the end of the week. Bad news. I
thought it was Wednesday. I've lost a day somewhere.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
That's great, close to the weekend, it's great. Where do
you think it's Wednesday? That's Thursday.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
From the news room, Good morning, actually, Nolan, good morning
official cross to Gabrielle, good.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Morning, Good morning. That was very dramatic.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
How are you feeling terrible?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Something in my eye that I can't find, and I'm sick,
and it's just it's it's it's I tried to do
a sudoku to get my brain firing this morning and
it just was putting me to sleep.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yeah, that's the opposite. The desired result is we're waking
to It feels like a minus white. You are winking
a lot of Ashley this morning, and I don't know
whether or not Ashviel's unnerved or reassured by it, but.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Maybe she feels good.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
I think, gee, this is a huge call, straight out
of the game. I'm going to say it. I think
the greatest gag in animated TV history.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Is this season that season, I say, and season and.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I play fire, and that is the one who gets shot.
This is I've been laughing at that for a while,
you know, like myne decades. However, there's all sorts of
controversy around our act rue season and the kangaroo Carl
(01:51):
and I'm not gonna lie. This has perhaps been the
least controversial that we've had for many many years actually,
and we've made it right the way through. I think,
I think without incident. Tonight's the night that we shut
up shop.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Yes, yep, it comes to a close this evening. So
a bunch of reserves are already reopened, but mount Ainslie
Nature Reserve and Mount Madura Nature Reserve will be opened,
and that draws the kangaroo management program to a close.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
I anyone who has the courage of their convictions. I'm
back for the most part, and so I have a
degree of respect for those that will protest and go out,
you know, in the middle of an area where we're
trying to cull kangaroos. I'm like, I discourage it, but
I also go, well, you know what you obviously believe in,
what you're doing. I don't recall us having any reports
of such protests over the last two months.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I feel like you go along any of the outlying
roads and you see the number of kangaroos that are
dead along the road at the moment, and how could
you be mad about the idea that there's too many
kangaroos hanging around? Do you know what I mean? Like right,
and it's pretty bad.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
And I think it's a it's probably a more humane
way for them to die, to be shot.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Then, no question about that. I mean, the panel beaters
will suggest otherwise because they're missing out. Obviously, they're busy.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
They're going on holidays, they're making Matza right now.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
They've got a backlog. My excuse for no bushwalks expires tonight.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Roden Gabby Versus.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
The World and Ashley Nolan in the news room. Do
we have another stadium update?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
We do.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Well, we've had a reaction from the liberals.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Liberals, if it's a stadium update, it's stadium update in
true time, builders a choice to the city.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
It's a big disgrace.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
This is why we need a stadium updates. That's what
we say. And certainly there was a lot to be
said by can Buran's on social media yesterday. What does
the opposition say today?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Well, this is in response to Andrew Bass saying that
the GAO Stadium has ten years or more left at
least a decade, at least a decade left a life
left in it. And Leanne Cassley has said that that
comment shocked everyone and she would love to hear what
(04:31):
Camerons have to say about that. Now, obviously the Liberals
had their stadium policy at the act election. Leanne Cassily
told us that while they did have that policy, they're
in the process of revisiting it, so they don't have
a position on the Canberra Liberals at the moment regarding
(04:54):
what they want to do with the stadium.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I know. So she hasn't come out swigging, just been like, oh,
that's an interesting statement.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
The Liberals need to stop playing by the rules. Okay,
so yeah, this part where you go, well, I better
check with it. We want I don't know if anyone
else wants it. I want some more off the hip opposing.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Well, especially when you are the opposition, you're in the
position where you can say all of the things that
you don't have to act on it. So just go
to town.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Then, so Leanne Cassley has that opportunity to be if
your parents are split and in every second one of us
our parents split up and then dad gets you know,
a new and new other and and you stay with
dad on the weekend. Leanne Cassley is the opportunity to
be that mum and then give us whatever you want.
Whatever we she's trying to win us over.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Give us all the candy, give us all the stadiums,
give us everything.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
This is the equivalent of fruit loops for dinner. Yes,
we want a stadium and so.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Just tell us you're going to give it to us,
and we will like you, okay.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
And so I don't know if they're going to put
it on the placards, but I think Act liberals the
weekend parents you need, and I think that's a boat winner.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
It's the slogan for the next selection.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
To do it. Nothing else worked it for a while.
Twenty two hours ago, we learned that the sugar free
version of soft drinks are actually we more likely to
make us unwell and give us diabetes.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah, not good.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
And so every time there's news about snacks, it's.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Normally negative, right, It's not good news. It's normally like
the processed food that's killing you or whatever, like if
there's always bad news around snacks. So when I saw
this headline, of course I clicked it, and I was like,
please don't be click bait, Please don't be click bait.
Because the title is the best snack to eat if
you want to live until one hundred, and you can
(06:49):
find it at the supermarket for less than two.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
But is it dried fruit? Because if this is dried fruit, love.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Dried fruit, but not dried true love dried fruit.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
I'm the saying, you know, people chuck some some pretty
sensible stuff in the snack category and good good. I
know we're meant to do it, but it's not fun.
So is it a fun snack?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Well, I can promise you this was not clickbait. This
delivered because the snack in question is popcorn. So the
researchers who studied the secrets of one hundred year olds
has recommended this snack because it has a lot going
for it. And we're talking airpop stuff, not the butter
(07:32):
covered stuff unfortunately, like it's just your playing popcorn. But
it's very high in fiber. It's also very high in
complex carbs, and it has more polyphonoles vegetables.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I don't enough of that.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I don't know what it is, but they're meant to
be good. So pop popped corn is good for you.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
So the research is from the oldies who hit the tone. Yeah,
now you know better than anybody. A beautiful view departed Nan.
When she was asked one hundredth birthday, how did you
do it? She started lying the house down.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
She did.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
She's not they're not rongable.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yeah, you're right, and I don't remember her ever in
her life eating popcorn, to be honest, No, no, but no.
She did say the secret was not smoking or drinking,
and I'm like, dude, you you have a glass of
wine every night. At her funeral, we all did shots
of baileies in her honor because that's what she loves.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
A tribute. So yeah, if.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
You're doing that at the funeral, she was definitely a
bit of a drinker.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah, they all talk a good game, but you know
they mean having cigars since they were seventeen, and we
don't know it's genetics. It's good news for you because.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
In Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Okay, Gabby, I need your help before we go on,
before the day starts. I've noticed the channel. Yeah, well
way hours ago. A current affair gets replay really early.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
In the morning.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Oh and I have it on.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Why because there's some characters.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
There is some characters, and you know what, this young
fellow might just be a character. Okay, I want you
to I want you to tell me if he is
Australia's new most annoying man or if he's a bloody legend,
because there's a fine line. Yeah, okay, this this was
acca last night.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Meet Oliver, the man battling for the right to pay
in cold heart cash everywhere, and.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Of course a current of feir hammer out. So he's
walking along set the camera thing. I walked toward the camera.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Made and he's got cash, his key, got his tie.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Right, and he's got cash coming out of his pockets.
But why is why is cash king for this?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Yeh yeh.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
Cash is legal tender.
Speaker 7 (09:46):
Heaps of people use cash.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
It's a person's freedom, it's a person's money. I should
be able to pay for what I need in cash.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
But try telling that to the card on the fucking machine.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
There you go, classic a current affair. Try telling that
to the card only parking.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Actually try to swipe your ten dollar note on the
pay pass bit.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
That's the silly part. And the footage him going up
to yes where you tap your card with a ten
dollar note and go lookkie's not taking a ten dollar
note annoying.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
The university started making parking cash list, which I didn't
realize at the time. I, being a normal unit student,
didn't have much money in my bank account at the time,
still wanted to come to class, do the right thing,
you know, pay for parking.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
So what do you do when you're a woolenngung Uni
law student. You take it all the way to the
High Court.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
This guy is just doing it for the sake of
doing it, Like he doesn't actually care about pagging cash.
He does it, he's just doing it to stick it
to the man.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
When you had so annoying, when you had time. And
this kid, obviously, this young man obviously has intellect. He's
a law student. He's got he's got the smarts. And
while he is waste, while he is clearly an annoying character,
I want to be the first if I find myself
needing a lawyer to sign this guy up. This is
(11:14):
the sort of dog with a bone, nonsense that I
want from my legal representatives. Actually in the news room,
we've been very excited about the prospect of Australia joining
the space race. We've watched it very closely. They've had
that rocket ready to go up there in Queensland, but
there's been a few a few snags. It's launched. Is
(11:36):
that the news today?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
It has?
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Indeed, so it's been hailed as a major milestone for
the space industry. Here an Australian made rocket has been
launched in Bowen in North Queensland.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
We have the footage. I have not seen this. You'll
remember interested well, you remember I said, you know everyone's
doing it, China, India, the Yang, Everyone's trying to send
something up there. And so if we can do this
and continue a great Australian tradition of mechanical engineering that
was lost when the Holden and Ford factories were closed,
(12:12):
we are back in the game.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
As setting a forward to the moon.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Well, let's be honest, I mean, how often how often
did Ford with that the forward performance vehicle you know
factory they had there and people would they'd review at
these car reviewers and they go Ford have built a
rocket and then the ford has closed. But well, what
do we do with those mechanical engineers? And the answer
is build real rockets.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
I don't know if any of those guys are involved
in this, but this is the footage here, and we're
waiting to hear the guys from Mission control. Okay, we're
going going, We're going, it's going, it's going. It's okay.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
That's really official chat up by the control guys.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
The goals. The guys at Mission Control sound as surprised
as anyone, and they also sound like your mate from
down the pub. Yeah, going, it's going. Okay, it's hovering,
it's hovering, it's hovering, it's gone. Ment to hop it's okay,
(13:15):
and then it's crashed into the Okay, it barely.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Made it a few meters past the tree tops.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
I want to believe that the guys who engineered the
forty x R eight had nothing to do with this,
because that's what you.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Have absolutely put their name through.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Versus the world.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Fantastic guests on the show today, looking forward to catching
up with famous Australian comedian Daniel Connell. He's on Have
You Been Paying Attention?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
On Monday Night?
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, yes, and he's a camera boy. He's coming back
to the street theater in a couple of weeks. He
is just water fantastic career. He's ended up having.
Speaker 8 (13:53):
What sat next to a nervous flyer for the first
time ever on a flight recently. Her name was Liz.
She was sixty four years old. She shouldn't tell me that.
I looked in her bag and she went to the toilet.
Very chatty was Liz. She mentioned earlier in the flight
that she was a nervous flyer. I mentioned early in
the flight that I didn't care, but she just get
(14:15):
bloody chating away.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
He's going to be joining us in about half an hour. Look,
if you're a shift worker or you're an early starter
like us, but you know the day still needs to
be managed. You still good stuff. You got to do
the car NAP's normal, is it? I nap in the
car by most days My.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Days feel weird doing it.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Depends I am conscious of where I'm doing it.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
And how many people could see you doing it.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Oh, look, if you want to stand around and watch
me sleep, Yeah, it's creepy, that's sure. I mean, whatever
you're into it, you know, that's what you're like, I'll
put on a real show of me lying there motionless
in a reclined drivers seat. That's right, But so you
don't normally do it.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
No, not very often do I have to nap in
the car, but I needed to today because I had
an appointment in the afternoon. There's no point going to buggerdoor
back between worker and an appointment if there's only a
couple of hours.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Sorry, that's an obvious point.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
If you live close to work, it's not a problem.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
And I live over there at the border. Yeah, and car.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Naps makes it a little bit harder. So I decided
to go close to my appointment because then that way
I could just wake up and waltz on in pretty
much roll out of bed into the appointment. And so
I parked in an underground car park because I thought
that would be a little more private. And it was
like one of the Wilson's car parks underneath a hotel,
so it's quite busy. But I parked in the only
(15:37):
spot that was available and I went to recline my seat.
Then I realized I was busting for the loop, so
I'm like, that's okay. So I just went up into
the hotel lobbies and went to the bathroom, and then
I went back down into my car and locked myself
in fully reclined my seat, and I went to close
my eyes, and I realized the park I got was
(15:59):
direct under one of their fluorescent lights.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Oh no, no, no, no, it.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Was shining straight through my windscreen. I was like, oh,
this is not going to do. So I'm in an
underground car park. I'm trying to be discreet and I'm
trying to not draw attention to myself. I don't want
the hotel to freak out that they've got a squatter.
So I pull out the sunshield that goes over your windscreen.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
This is absolutely arousing suspicion, but.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I needed to block out the fluorescent light with it
in my eyes.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
That part just pulled it out.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I put it on the windscreen, despite being underground with
no sun anywhere near me.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Okay, rewind thirty sings. I don't want the hotel thinking
that I'm living in the underground car park. I then
erected a tense is this breaking news? I saw a
blow up haping On the other side of the desk.
Producer Chelsea and Gabby were looking through some snare he
leaked photos of Maths the MARRIEDI first sight. Why is
(17:03):
everyone shouting?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
My sister just sent me this. I'm going to read
it to you. Maps twenty twenty six is already shaping
up to be one of the sauciest, raunchiest, and most
highly anticipated seasons to date, and the weddings even aren't
even halfway. We can reveal that male entertainer Will Parfit
has been spotted filming scenes for the new series. So
(17:24):
you know Bill because he looks exactly like Channing Tatum
and he is a male stripper and he does the
Australian version of the Live Magic Mike, so you might
not know him, but he exactly like Channing tATu, like exactly.
I've met him in person and it felt like Chatting
Tatum was walking toward me. And if he was the
(17:46):
groom that someone was walking toward on MARRITI first site,
you would die, Oh you would. But here we were excited,
we were squealing, we were like, this is gonna be
the best groom ever. And then you scroll down to
the comments and Will has commented, He's the first comment
comment on their say spoiler alert, I'm not a groom.
(18:07):
He looks like he's just the best disappointment. He is there,
he was there and he was filming and he's holding
the ring box, so he's the best man.
Speaker 9 (18:17):
He'll do over the episode.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Still, you're hoping they're gonna love it, Like I know you,
They're like, wait for the groom looks, oh he can
this is I've experienced it.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Goodness. There's questions and they will be answered when married
at first sight return? Is this for later this year?
Is for next year?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
At the moment? Normally January right the middle of the year.
Is it straight after this Traine open that they do it.
Speaker 9 (18:50):
Yeah, Usually it's usually in like that end of January February.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
I'm following a British guy and he for some reason,
he's getting the inside scoop on where they're filming the weddings,
and he's turning up.
Speaker 9 (19:02):
Yeah that's math's funny.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Yeah you know that guy on what is he on Facebook?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
And he keeps yeah right, I've just popped him up
on the screen.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I've watched his video.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
He shows up and then he does a selfie video
where he walks along next to you know, the people
getting married and the producers. Like yesterday he was at
the beach. There was a beach wedding or something.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
It's going to be in the background.
Speaker 9 (19:25):
I'm wondering if he's going to be in the background
of any of these shots.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
So he started taking his shirt off and doing like
going for a jog in the background of weddings now
and so I don't know what this one is. There's
one of the brides you know, in the in the
dress and the whole thing. Final Moments of Freedom funny
podcast lab and location. So this British guy is doing
commentary to himself as he walks along next to the
official TV crew filming room and that are.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
You the Groom?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
So the couple are going from the road here they
get a bit of a walk across the dirt and grass.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
It's the ceremony.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
There are you the Groom? That's going to be going
on in the background.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
And this year I'm just going to follow his videos.
I don't even he does.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
It every yo.
Speaker 9 (20:06):
Yeah, he goes like up to them when they're at
their hotels and things like that.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
So he gets in with a lot of it.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Doing a good job.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Rod and Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
What is splash lab? I don't know what it is,
and I feel like I want to go to Splash Lab.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
It looks pretty fun. It's a new way to get
creative in camera. It is kind of what it sounds like,
but it's with paint.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
When I had.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Splash Lab, I was like like water park. So it's
a paint splatter experience. So you go into a studio
and you can throw paint around and get missy and
create art. I love that masterpieces to take home.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I've got a messy when it's organized best.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
You know, and when there's some you know, head to
toe has Matt style.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Suit, Yeah, a smock ache going to do it for this?
Speaker 1 (20:56):
No, no, this is common sense. We don't know. But
if they go, I hope you bought a change of clothes.
I don't think it's going to go as well as
they're hoping.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Well, that's what they do for the color run. And
then like I had to pick up my niece from
the color run one time, and I'm like, there's a
towel for you to sit on because you are absolutely
not sitting in it in that.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Yeah, there's a towel to sit on. It's probably ambitious.
There's a hose over here. If we're going to hose
it down before we give you a towel to sit on.
The longer time goes on, the more I realize all
roads lead back to Canberra. It's very rare that we
speak with anyone. It doesn't matter where in the world
(21:37):
they are, invariably if they aren't from here, don't have
a family member here. And because we know we all
came here to you know, go to the museum. But
there's there's some there's some connection. And for Daniel Connor,
the fantastic comedian, it's a pretty obvious one. Both his
sisters here. He lived here for years as a young fellow,
(21:58):
originally from the coast. Daniel Gooda in a pre emptied
welcome back, you're performing here on the on the fourteenth
at the Street Theater.
Speaker 10 (22:06):
Hello, yes, yes, very keen to get back. I always
love coming back to the bearer. You mentioned Questicon there.
I know Questicon is very famous in Canberra, but it
is so underrated. I still think I went there six
months ago and I was this needs to be talked
about more. How good it is.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
It's funny as a local who always kind of had
it so that when you've come back to visit family.
How did you land questicon?
Speaker 10 (22:30):
Just with my Sonny wanted to go, wanted to check
it out and it was Yeah. We I spent about
six hours there. I loved it.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
It's the best of a bad weather day and you
need to get the kids out of the house, just
have the whole day. Quest to God, it's the ball.
Speaker 10 (22:44):
What a way to spend a day.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I haven't been for too long. Is that giant moon
down the bottom?
Speaker 10 (22:50):
Moon's still there, laid under that for a good fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Gabby, we're going back.
Speaker 10 (22:55):
That's back there.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Big from Bateman's Bay. I'd love your perspective on this because,
as we call it, the other suburb of Canberra, because
in summer, the entirety of Canberra moves down to the
coast as a Bateman's Bay. Boy, do you look or
do you hate that?
Speaker 10 (23:12):
Yeah. As the years have gone on and I understand
how the economy works, I now like it. But when
I was a teenager and I was work over summer
at or Leaves and trying and get a park in
town to go to work, all those blue number plates everywhere,
and you know that young guys would come into the
(23:33):
pub and yeah, you know it was. Yeah, I dislike
it when I was a teenager, but now I get
it and it keeps the town alive.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
As an eighteen year old bloke. Yes, very few are
walking around their country town going gee, this is tremendous
for the economy. It's just not something you say, understandably,
the local see the blowings come exactly. You put up
with it. And then obviously you know this career choice
takes you around the country and of course you're in
(24:03):
I guess the capital of Australian comedy and that is Melbourne.
How fat I mean this trade, it's terrifying. It terrifies
me any of us think about getting on stage of
trying to make an audience laugh, but to make a
career out of it, it's some hard yak.
Speaker 10 (24:20):
You've got to travel, right, Yeah, yeah, it's been. Now
I can come to camera and play the street theater,
but it's in my sixteenth or sixteenth year now of
doing it, so there's a lot of I moved to
Melbourne in twenty ten and it was probably seven or
eight years of outmost nights of the week, probably doing
three hundred odd gigs a year, just trying to get
(24:42):
your foot in the door and just get better. Basically,
that's the thing you need to do, the most important thing.
So it is terrifying to start, but that all sort
of goes away as the years go on, and then
it becomes really fun and now that you can sort
of draw a crowd, that makes it even more more wedding.
But yeah, it is a tough slot, like any any industry.
(25:04):
You know, it probably takes a good decade to get
your foot in the door.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Well, now you're less terrified because you are doing amazing things.
Does that mean you then test yourself in the terrifying
stakes by going on, who's been have you been paying attention?
Speaker 10 (25:18):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, so more more terrifying things come along,
that's right. Yeah, so you you work your way after that.
But then, you know, I hadn't done much TV before
I did my first one of those, So the first
couple are you know, you're definitely in the zone and
the heart rates up a bit. But like anything, the
(25:38):
more you do it, the more comfortable you become. And
everyone there is so welcoming and it's such a fun
show to be on, so there's no it doesn't feel
like you're in a competition. Even though there's a score,
everyone's very welcoming and supporting.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
More is really not the thing, Like no one actually
can store even go.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
On the screen, like you know, a proper score and
a competition a game, there's a score in the corner
of the there's a graphic or it comes up from
time to time after someone's scores. I don't recall ever
seeing a score displayed. Tommy might occasionally just do a
vague recap.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
It's always because he's the one that has to come
in with the answer after the fuddies.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
That's true sensibility.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (26:18):
Yeah, I've been told that people still people still like
to know who's won and everything, which I find interesting. Yeah,
but I think that a few diehards love the love
to see who's won, always.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Coming with a score, and I'm like, oh, that's right.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
It's always a stickler no matter where in life.
Speaker 10 (26:35):
Yeah, I'm certain I've never won an I doubt I
ever will.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Well, congratulations, this is a great camera e ish story.
A certainly the boy from the Coast, you know, trying
things out in Queen the NFM as a young fella.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
And now a Queen the NFM.
Speaker 10 (26:51):
I'm guessing yeah, yeah, I did a Friday night sports
show with a mate. I was still working in defense
at the time. It was about two thousand and eight
and I did a Friday night sports show with a
mate called Nick Risteski.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
He was there in twenty two thousand and nine, I
was at Queen Beaff.
Speaker 10 (27:10):
Really did you ever come across James Buckley? Jimmy Buckley,
he was. He was the host of the show on
Friday nights.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
I couldn't tell you.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Great thing. The best thing about community radio commercial radio,
you go three or four shows, and you know, we
just keep turning up every day. Community radio there can
be a different show every hour saurday, and so you're right,
you could have been on at the same time.
Speaker 10 (27:31):
Ye we would come on after the Friday night bird
call a little guy that did birds, and we were
on him talking rugby league.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Now you're on the telly with some of the best
comedians in the world, and you're on fire. The too
box headed man baby is the name of itself. We're laughing.
August fourteen at the Street Theater, Preemptive. Welcome back, mate,
so we'll see you here soon. Cheers, no way for
the chest and Gabby versus the World Chelsea joining US
(28:04):
text line zero four one seven to one four.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
You're out south Side represent Yeah. When it comes to
these goodies, well.
Speaker 9 (28:13):
I haven't found a good bakery yet, so this will
be good.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
You carry the way to south Side and gen Z
show really the shoulders. Yeah, there's there's a lot to
cover off with all that stuff. However, you've got the
list of excuses that can Bearn's and Ossie's are using
to try and get out of being busted on their
phones by that doovy whacker that is just southbound on
the Bart And today there might be a couple. I
(28:36):
think I think we've got a couple of them across
the territory that shows.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Up near my house in Punin all the time, all
the time.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yeah, so let's you know, let's not touch up.
Speaker 9 (28:45):
Always feel like I'm doing something illegal even though I'm not.
When I see those cameras two hands, Yes, today you're
not doing anything.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
I was almost flipping. I always almost thought I'm going
to hold my hands up flat, and then I thought
that might be a problem. You know what, I meant
to drive with your hands at flat? Idiots wheel don't
try and entertain the camera. So what are the excuses here.
Speaker 9 (29:09):
So some of the excuses that people have used is
it's a receipt tin, like why are you carrying that?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
I was carrying. Yes, so you know those like.
Speaker 9 (29:19):
I was holding a receipt tin, which the judge dismissed.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
I see they got out of get out of.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
Which the judge dismissed, offering offering them to pay a
five hundred dollar fine.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Oh so they had to pay it. They had to
pay it, Like yeah, okay, that's just as distracted. If
you a receipt to.
Speaker 9 (29:37):
Be Another one someone's used the excuse of it's an
electric shaver.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
No one's shaving. And if you are shaving in the car,
that's terrible. I've seen it people shaving in the car.
Speaker 9 (29:48):
I've heard of it's doing your ma car.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
No, I've seen people shaving in the car. I saw
and brush your dog in the car. They should be
their license taking off them in their car crushed. All right,
these are all bad, but they're possible.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Another one, it's.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Bad if I was in charge.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
This is why you are not in charge.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Well, just give me the green light. I'm taking away
every second person's license if you do.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Take this to court as well.
Speaker 9 (30:10):
They do show more clear photos, so if you're trying
to say that it's something else, they're like, no, it's not,
because they're showing a really clear photo of you holding
your phone. But some people have used some food items
such as a kit kat or banana bread, a maxibont
I reckon.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
We discussed if you're driving along eating a maxibon, just
pay the fine. I know that legally. I think legally
you're allowed to eat a maximon, But there is no
food item resembling a phone more than a maxibon.
Speaker 9 (30:42):
That's funny.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
That's all that has come up.
Speaker 9 (30:44):
But so far this year, just this year, eight hundred
and seventy nine people have tried to say that's not
a phone.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Right, I like people fighting it. Imagine how many people
have actually been caught.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Yeah, oh yeah, it's one.
Speaker 9 (30:57):
It's like one in every nine hundred and fifties. Even
drivers are breaking the law.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Yeah right. The authorities are smart and that they've just
planned a seat of doubt where they go. We're sending
you the low quality footage and if you want to
show cord, yeah, then you're really bassett, unless, of course
it really is a max of bonhom and you're like
look ice Cream Center, it's Origin and Raiders Star had
some young We haven't seen you in the flesh for
(31:22):
too long. You've been busy with what were you doing
last week? Pilates? It's helping though.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Yeah, it's been good.
Speaker 7 (31:28):
Obviously had that little bit of a pubis and groin issue.
So yeah, we have a little crew that go over
to ground up and Brandon there.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
So yeah, it's good.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Because that's right in the headquarters, right, like you just
skip around the streets.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Yeah, it's easy now we just walk over there.
Speaker 7 (31:42):
Yeah, but before we had to go to Dixon and Nut,
so it's recently open and it's a bad facility in there.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I was just saying, my dad has a groin injury
at the moment, and I told him to get to
pilates with the Raiders. Yeah, he just laughed at me.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
You're telling him he's not playing finals, so he will
not play.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Don't get on the field, dad, He's.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Not a shot at the minor premiership. You see this
is a beautiful video where Chad Townsend, he's he's a
staff for the Cowboys. Was he up there when you
were there?
Speaker 10 (32:06):
Gaby?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Lovely guy, nicest guy. I want a Premiership with the Sharks.
You would have played against him, you know him. Yeah,
what did you think about his announcement? Was it yesterday
that he's pulling up stumps? Did you see that?
Speaker 7 (32:17):
Yeah, I've seen that online and yeah, he's been a
tremendous player for such a long time, and he's one
competitions and played over a number of clubs, and yeah,
he was always good to come up against.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Did you see his announcement?
Speaker 2 (32:29):
I did it because I was in a state where
I knew that. I just burst into tears, so I
chose not to do you want me to play it,
you can play it. I'm fine now. But I was
just saying, you know, when you have to be in
the right headspace to watch these kind of things. And
all of my friends were saying, I'm crying, and I'm like,
what arn't But I think of your kids.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
So yeah, videoed him just telling his kids how I'm
going to be at home a lot more right, which
I absolutely get in your mind, you go, this is
going to be a great video. It's good news. But understandably,
you know, you grow up wanting to play it highest grade,
and then once you get into your later teenage years,
you get the call up, and so you don't know
a world other than this. I don't want to start
talking to you about retirement. But for him, you know,
(33:11):
he was understandably emotional, right, yeah, all right, let's have
a little look at this for a second. Here.
Speaker 10 (33:16):
Daddy has something he needs to tell you, guys. What
and what is it?
Speaker 1 (33:25):
You know how daddy plays football? Yes, well dad?
Speaker 10 (33:30):
Is he that Daddy's not playing football anymore?
Speaker 7 (33:33):
Because it's it's time for Daddy to play you guys, Dad,
could you play?
Speaker 10 (33:43):
I can play with you.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
I'm getting emotional, yeah, I said, I the right mind
space to watch that. I don't think any mind space
would have been not.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
For his young fellows. He's got beautiful kids. He's got
three daughters and his young fellow you can still play footy, dad,
Oh so beautiful. It's a beautiful way to announce it,
and his kids us sorry about that. His kids were
we're talking, but the kids knew. They were happy tears.
And so that's that's an incredible career. You can only
aspire to a career like that, you know, particularly when
(34:15):
you spoke with us a few weeks ago, what it
meant to you personally as well as the club to
have a legend like Big Papa while whilst not announcing
his retirement breaking the club record. You know, really from
a moment that you can reflect upon one of the
great careers in rugby league.
Speaker 7 (34:31):
Yeah, and little videos like that just reflect how important
forty years to some people in their life. And yeah,
it just goes to show, yeah, how much obviously Chad
loves his family in that as well, and yeah, yeah,
the kids obviously wanting to keep playing forever.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
He's a good man. All right, you got plenty of
time before we start talking about that, and kids, We've
got stacks of time. I got to ask you. So,
there was this fantastic bit of coverage when we were
watching the game against the Knights. Well done your pass
maybe a level minutes out from full time's jes it was.
It was a monster. It was a goody over to
Rix young fellow and then it ended up resulting in
a try. However, not long before that they crossed to
(35:11):
the crowd and we looked at this on Monday. I
wonder if you, I don't know, if you have a
lot of time to look into the crowd and see
the characters the supporters. So I'm going to play this
for you and you tell me if you recognize this
this character. So a chance to push this out. I
take you the two, I get a fourteen point lead,
and the Lord Vader is in the house. And so
(35:34):
one of the supporters has a Darth Vader. It's not
like a mask to helmet. It's the full thing, but
it's green. Do you see him when you're playing?
Speaker 7 (35:41):
No, I've never seen him, but a few of the
boys were actually saying it the other day because I
thought we've seen him in and around training, and they
said that he goes to every game.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Dressed like Darth Raider, where as should be that.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Well, we asked, We asked a lot, We asked about him,
and we've got a lot of messages. So he's there
week in. Yeah, but he's in the club colors, so
you know, he blends in anyway. We found it live
in Dixon. Let's go there, now, Darth Raider. Good eight
here you gon there he is and he doesn't sound
like James Earl Jones, the traditional Darth Vader, enough.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Of a raspy voice to get it across the line.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Though, absolutely a Darth Raider that helmet. You're wearing. Is
that custom because it looks exactly like Darth Vader's but
it is green? Or did you just get out the
spray paint?
Speaker 11 (36:27):
It's customized by me?
Speaker 1 (36:31):
So bitter, bitter cold, b How long have you been
showing up to games for with? Because that helmet looks restrictive?
How long have you been doing this for?
Speaker 11 (36:40):
I started in twenty sixteen, actually faring?
Speaker 10 (36:43):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Do you ever miss any tries because the proper vision
on helmet wouldn't be great?
Speaker 10 (36:49):
No?
Speaker 11 (36:50):
I don't generally miss any. I deathened myself afterwards. How
so well, the sound tends to reverberate it on the
helmet and the helmet I tend to shout pretty Hey.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
We saw the statistics the other day. Did you see this, Hudson?
The ticket sales for the Grand Final? They identified which
clubs have snapped up the most tickets for the GF,
in other words, those that have the most belief, and
the Raiders came in number one. We've got the highest percentage.
Do you see that? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (37:21):
I did say that.
Speaker 10 (37:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (37:22):
It just goes to show the faith that our community
has in us at the moment.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Have you got yours? Darth Raider?
Speaker 10 (37:29):
If you could.
Speaker 11 (37:31):
Okay, okay, well on a Unfortunately I'm disabled so on
a pension.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
So in addition to your managing your ability, you're coming
into a crowd Choco Block Goo Stadium and you're getting
kitted up to support the team. Good man A right,
we find ourselves in a Grand final.
Speaker 11 (37:53):
I kind of met Hudson on Monday.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Actually, oh did he leave a good impression? Yeah, yeah,
I remember, I remember seeing you in it trying and.
Speaker 11 (38:05):
Yeah yeah, him and him and Morgan were off to
go and grab a coffee or something.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
I'm not sure, but.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
Well, very good. Hey Darth Rader, good to chat to you.
We're going to stay in touch as we try to
secure a minor of premiership at the end of the season.
Two more home games for you to appear. You're going
to be at both those.
Speaker 11 (38:27):
I find your lack of faith disturbing. We won't trying
to secure it.
Speaker 10 (38:33):
We will secure The force is strong with you, Darth Raider.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
All right, very nice, Thank you very much. The fans,
I see the effort. That's what a beautiful, beautiful example
of the effort that fans go to, whether or not
you're just chucking on a green scarf. Or you're fully
kidding out a Darth Vader helmet. He wears the whole
uniform too, by it was at the cape and the
whole thing. It makes a difference when you're in the middle, though,
doesn't it. That's what our home ground advantage is.
Speaker 7 (38:55):
Yeah, one hundred percent. Especially we've got people dressed up
like no, you can actually feel like the difference. We're
obviously winning helps and it's really contagious amongst everyone, but
even like arriving to the ground and leaving the ground,
you can just feel the real sense of excitement amongst
all the fans at the moment.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
All right, incredible. We're on the road. It's that weird
Twilight Game on Saturday. I don't think you care what
time it's on. It's just I on the prize taking
on the Dragons. We are traditionally their bogey team, and
I love that. I love that before we even get
out there, they get nervous.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
What's a bogey team?
Speaker 1 (39:30):
We we we doesn't matter how we're traveling. We always
beat Saint George. Oh yeah, it's fantastic anyway, bo we're
traveling well, so we should all right, mate, glad to
hear you fit thank you for the time today, and
we look forward to seeing you on the Tellion on
the Park on Saturday night.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
Thanks having me on and Gabby versus the world all right?
Speaker 1 (39:49):
When someone proclaims quote a dagger to my heart's I
presumptuously go, well, that's melodramatic. I don't know what led
to that moment.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
I think it was completely warranted. There's a lot of
moms and dads out there who have a hard time
when certain things happen that prove their their kids are
growing up. And at this point, I haven't had that.
Like a lot of people get upset when they're packing
away the tiny clothes because they've grown into bigger clothes
(40:21):
and things like that, and it hasn't really worried me
because I'm loving watching her grow up and see the
world through my daughter's eyes. So I'm just enjoying all
the moments. So just because she's in bigger clothes, it
doesn't really pull out my heart strings like it does
to some others. It really does that, but you know,
(40:42):
there's always going to be a moment where something does
happen and you go, oh no, And that happened to
me and it was my dad's fault.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
So week.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
It's funny because last week we were like, oh, we
haven't heard enough about Bob lately, and today and this,
he's really made an appearance.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
After this week, he won't be making any more appearances,
and it'll be his choice. I don't think he's gonna
come on again.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
No, no, no, he's already asked me to stop talking about
him multiple times.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
Yeah, he's avoiding it. Used to start the show.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
He's not a fair.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
Pill com ah.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Anyway, he didn't mean to do this, and this is
really he's completely innocent in this in that he didn't
do anything malicious.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
Will be the judge of that.
Speaker 10 (41:24):
Yea.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
So so my daughter's nearly too, and I am mummy
to her mummy and daddy and it's very cute and
she calls out my name all the time and I
love it. And then we were at my mom and
dad's and I've mentioned before my mom and dad's house
is called the snack House, and we go there and
she loves snacks. She loves all the different like little
(41:45):
bluey snacks that she's gone in little mini shapes and
all of the things that my mom buys. So we
don't get there too often. But we were there the
other day and she wanted a biscuit. She wanted another biscuit.
And she was sitting on my dad's lap watching the
TV and asked for another biscuit and turned to her,
and he was doing the right thing because this is
what you do as a grand well you should do
as a grandparent. He said, you better ask your mom, okay.
(42:08):
But by saying you better ask your mom, all of
a sudden, she started calling me mum instead of mummy,
I know, and I had to quickly correct her. And
I was like, well, well, well mummy. And now she's
using it to tease me. And she'll sit in the
back of the car and she'll go mum, Mum. I'll
(42:29):
go it's mummy. She'll go mum. But if she actually
wants something, she'll say mummy because she knows that's what
we'll get my attention. But if she just wants to
poke the bear, she sit there calling me mum, and
I hate it.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
And see till now, because genetically she inherited the stirring
gene for your husband. She's been poking the mummy bed.
Now she's poking the mummy
