Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Take a few glasses and apologize to us.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
I'm so sorry, but I'm not taking on my glasses.
What's a procedure.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
This is Roden Gabby versus the world.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Well, good morning and welcome to another week. Everyone. Hello, Gabby,
good morning, welcome back Darcy, good morning, and get a
to you of your joining us across the great city
in the world. This is our last week together. We
go and break at the end of the week, and
by the time we come back, Darcy will be in Mexico,
explore America.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Well, by the time you're back, I will be in
the US, but then after that I'll be in Mexico.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
All right, Well, five to go, everybody, so don't go
anywhere this week. Normally we speak about the news at
the start of the show, and god knows, something happened
overnight or in the last twenty four hours, so we'll
get to that in half an hour. There's that's diabolical.
Let's need to talk about it. Let's start the week
on a positive. Yes, and you remember the great reaction

(01:01):
where you got from the Kiwi community last week when
we revealed that the Reject Shop was now stocking their
national chocolate bar. The perky Nana. It's a Cadbury bar.
We don't have it here, Darcy, you've never had the
perky Nana?

Speaker 3 (01:15):
Yeah, but I remember we were talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
It, right, And so the outpouring of appreciation from New
Zealand listeners. How good is it to hear you guys
talking about the peky Nana? And it is. It's one
of the great things about New Zealand when you go there. Yes,
it feels a little bit ozsy, but there's so many

(01:37):
things that are just different enough. It is alternate universe Australia.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
Well, don't they They missed the whole poisonous spider and
snake memo. They don't have any of that in New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
How did that happen?

Speaker 4 (01:50):
I don't know. I'm surely a snake could swim just
across the ditch.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Well not even that. I mean initially when we were
all the one you know, the one piece of the
one land mass as we capa, you know, did all
the spiders and all the reptiles run across New Zealand
and go onto Australia As New Zealand floated very slowly
millions of years at the time.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
There was a really hot Snake that was in Australia.
All the dudes were got to get over there, so
only the girls were left on New Zealand and they
can't problem keep going.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
But they were happy for a period that they Anyway,
we digressed. So if you're a key with this, one's
for you. If you're an Aussie, this is an education.
This is from the eighties. I think when they used
to advertise chocolate bars. They still do that. They still
even botherwed paying for a commercial on TV.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
One in a while.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
I used to love a Mars bark commercial, you know
what I mean, Like they would advertise chocolate bars on
TV and they did the same.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
In the Milkie barket.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Where's the milky bar? Kids nowhere? That's all right? So
this is what they would have watched in New Zealand
television in the late eighties. Also, there's an Elvis Presley
impersonator singing about the perking Nana but they're all kids.

(03:22):
It's a good slogan. Perky Nana, I want a monkey
round with you because it tastes like banana. And there
it is, the perky narn only twenty five cents in
nine eight hand.

Speaker 4 (03:35):
Got up that much. It was only a dollar at
the reject shop on the weekend.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
And so we arrive produced Chelsea, would you like to
come into the studio for a reject shop breakfasted champions?

Speaker 4 (03:49):
Rod and I tried this yesterday, so Darcy and Chelsea,
So take a piece and just put all in your
gob the whole thing, all right.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Here we go banging in there and we are off
to the races. Why don't you like a producer, Chelsea?
I like the texture exactly. You don't. No one does
text term it's insane. Why don't you Why don't you
just swallow it and talk to us? Because you can't.

(04:22):
We discovered when we ate this thing yesterday, it doesn't stop.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
It's like expands.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
You're still chewing. This is still the one piece, isn't it?

Speaker 4 (04:35):
Well it was big enough. I made sure that I
took a bigger bite yesterday.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
And this beautiful family came over and introduced themselves to
us and said, we listened to the show, we wanted
to introduce ourselves.

Speaker 4 (04:47):
And there going.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
The timing was and I couldn't And then they left
and I was still chewing like an idiot. So that
Perkin Art and New Zealand and said this is ub
service announcement. I feel like it, So we we're not
gonna I'm not going to pretend I didn't finish the bite.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
Like, the taste isn't terrible. The texture is just unexpected,
But you.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Gotta it's a nibbler. You've got to just have little bites.
You have a mousey nibble.

Speaker 4 (05:13):
Chew through it.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
No, you can't chew through it.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
It's the way that I explained to the texture to
my family is when you've got chewing gum and you
accidentally put a bit of food in your mouth and
it mixes with the chewing gum, the chewing gum starts
to fall apart. That's the texture where it's kind of
chewing gum but kind of like dissipating a little bit.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
And just getting softer.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
And yeah, have you ever done that?

Speaker 2 (05:35):
You would be chewing gum? Forget that it's there.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
You've done that as a kid.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
I like anyway, Yeah, we're all forgetting chew easy in
our mouth and you start eating it. Yeah, never happened.
I don't believe any of Okay, why is everyone? Why
are you alive?

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Gabby versus the world?

Speaker 2 (05:55):
I knew it was coming back. But we've been speaking
so much about jumping off boats and going onto islands
and trying to find love and all these.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
We've got about the wholesome shows like building.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yes, yes, you know. Well I can't believe the Block
somehow has survived because it.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
Doesn't shocked too. To be honest, I didn't think it
would be coming back, and especially because in New Zealand
it got the Axe and we thought when that was
announced that might affect a show. It does not. No,
but I was coming back and they're going out bush again.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
All right, here we go. So we've got the new trailer.
Remembering that the trailers historically, I think the last one,
Scottie Cam was piloting a light aircraft shelley craft.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
As they went overseas. Remember, yeah, there was a pilot.
It was an island where they've got a bridge.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Joined by a very short bridge off the coast of Victoria.
So that was that that oversold under the livid. But
what season of the Block hasn't. So let's see if
they've dialed it down and they're a bit more realistic.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
I'll just give you a little warning. I feel like
the highlight of this trailer comes within the first twenty seconds.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Good, let's knock this over there. Yeah, by the way,
this is only a forty nine second trail. Yeah, here we.

Speaker 5 (07:08):
Go, a new adventurer's calling.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Here we go on the edge of a picture perfect town.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
All right, hang on now, Scotty Cam has got out
of he's driving the not a B double, but a
bloody big draft.

Speaker 4 (07:21):
It looks like a road train.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah. Yeah, it's a big truck. And he's got a
dog with him, probably his dog.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
It's his dog. His dog makes an appearance in all
of the show's always there for judging and whatnot.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Right out and it's stopped in the middle of the
outback and he's walking around a paddock cab and I
look over the Sunburn Country, a big towns us folks,
the heartland of luck like bloody oath. He was so
close to saying the Sunburn Country the heartland. It's just
the same. Sorry, I've interrupted the voice over, Blake.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Let's go the heartland of luck like never before.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Home, sweetheart, here we go.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
Here's the highlight. Here's the highlight.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Is he on a horse? Scott's not okay, someone's on something.
Man with snowy ripple.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
No, just Darren with his shirt off.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
Whoay, Darren's looking good.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
So Darren's an a state agent who does the judging
on a Sunday.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
He's not a state agent. He's an interior designer guy.
Like he's like the artsy guy.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yeah, he's the bloke out of the gym, is what
he is?

Speaker 4 (08:25):
Oh yeah again man, right, he's riding that horse.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Why are you saying it like that, because that's what
it is. He's riding.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
For a Brandian park adventure.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Haven't you forgotten something?

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Scotty, pack up the whole she bang, hit the Heartland,
build build for blockage, jumping out of that bag light. Well,
that was the ossiest thing that's happened in a while.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
And they're bringing the first trap. They know that's what
works on Maths and stranded on Honeymoon Island, and so
they're trying to bring a bit of that drama to
the block.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Oh god knows they're not getting that out of Scottie Cam.
So thank goodness for old made TV and board. If
you're joining us for the first time, if you did
that thing that I think a lot of us like
to do on a Sunday, and that is just go
into the bubble. You won't have seen that the US
struck Iran after threatening to think about it, Donald Trump

(09:29):
went bang. What's the update darted?

Speaker 3 (09:32):
Well as of recently? So last night on the ABC
I saw the Iranian Foreign minister speaking and who has
said the game is not over and some sort of
right to defend this themselves will be exercised. And then
this morning France, Germany and the UK have issued a
joint statement asking Iran to not take any further action.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Yeah, what diplomacy was always going to be the best option.
That's not where it's at at the moment. However, the
they from the strategists in the US is okay, one
and done. The big strike. These bunker bomb the bunker
what are they called? Bunker busters are extraordinary pieces of
hardware that I understand. Whatever they are over ten thousand
kilograms will go into the ground. Think about it. You

(10:17):
drop a bomb, how far we go into the dirt? One? Two, three, four,
five meters sixty meters? Then explode and so it's does
it drill?

Speaker 4 (10:28):
How's that happen?

Speaker 2 (10:29):
I can't imagine. I don't understand exactly how it works,
and part of me doesn't want to for crying out loud,
but it wasn't just a case of them dropping one
of those. We can actually go to Miley Hogan's report
for Channel seven and she steps us through how many

(10:50):
things were actually dropped over here. It's give me one second.
I need to get Miley's report because this is wild
stuff here she is.

Speaker 6 (10:57):
Military officials say six B two warplanes dropped up to
twelve bunker buster bombs on the four Dome nuclear site
deep underground. At the same time, US Navy submarines fired
thirty Tomahawk land attack cruise missiles, blowing up nuclear sites.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
And that's an interesting thing that you go, Okay, so
these these bombers fly over and there were the reports
from people aviation enthusiasts that were able to track them
and said, hang on, they're going over there, and so
everyone saw that coming. But the submarines popped out from
the nearby coast and they're fired as well.

Speaker 6 (11:32):
Sfahan and Natans Natans also hit with two bunker busters.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Araanski nuclear and Richmond facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.
So what's happened since then is that Iran's parliament has
met understandably and they have voted to close the Strait
of Hormus. Now, around twenty percent of the world's daily
oil flows through that strait, so that's a blockage of

(12:01):
a billion dollars in oil shipments per day. And that means,
as we've seen with unrest in the Middle East in
the past, spikes in petrol prices around the world, but
you know, primarily in the US to the extent that
it compromises industry in a massive way. So, yeah, things

(12:21):
need to stop right now.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
Is it dangerous bombing a nuclear site? Like could that
actually set off the nuclear bomb?

Speaker 2 (12:30):
It's a really good point.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
So they weren't actually nuclear sites yet. There were nuclear
development programs is what Iran has called them. So it's
unsure as to what they were exactly useful. There weren't
nuclear bombs, but they just wanted to test nuclear that
could be energy or anything.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
My understanding is that one of the sites at least
was a nuclear enrichment plant. So to get the uranium
uranium in Richmond plants, so to get the uranium to
a weapons grade, they have a big turb or whatever
it is and they spin it right, and so they
spin the uranium and it enriches it as time goes on,
and the more you do it, obviously, the higher it gets.

(13:09):
So interesting you ask that the International Atomic and Energy
Agency has said, quote, armed attacks on nuclear facilities could
result in radioactive releases with grave consequences within and beyond
the boundaries of the state which has been attacked end quote,
And so the ia A are obviously keeping it close

(13:31):
eye on these things. They have got a report in
the last hour from Iran to say no, no, there's
no increase in any nuclear in any radioactive ratings. So
that's a lot. Now everyone waits to see whether or
not there is retaliation, and Iran has struck back at
Israel straight away. The concern is if they target any

(13:53):
of these US bases and what are their twenty thirty
of these US bases you know, in the area. And
we got to each problem on her hands, all right,
Darcy will keep an eye on it throughout the morning,
let us know if anything else happening.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
And Gabby versus the world.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
In the meantime, Taylor Swift fan has got a tattoo.
And she wouldn't be the first and sure won't be
the last.

Speaker 4 (14:11):
What's gone wrong, Well, something has gone a little bit
wrong with this tattoo. Tattoo foils are one of my
favorite subjects. But there's lady by the name of Liz
wanted to get a tattoo on her thigh Taylor Swift inspired,
but for her partner, because one of the lyrics in
Taylor Swift's song Guiltiest Sins says, what if he's written
mine on my upper thigh? And so she wanted to

(14:33):
get mine tattooed on her upper thigh for her partner.
It's a bit convoluted, no, but it kind of is,
because like, if it's for him, why are you doing it?
In Taylor Swift's anyway, it's for both of them, I guess.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
But in the song, yeah, Taylor's saying it's a bad thing, right, Well, it's.

Speaker 4 (14:54):
I don't know, I don't know. I haven't looked at
that song.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Taylor's not saying that having.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
Mine on my upper thigh, right, She's not saying it's
a good thing. It doesn't sound like a good thing.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
No, you got this is the thing. I get it.

Speaker 4 (15:07):
You can't just take one line out of context and go, yeah,
it was too that all the words. Yeah, well, that's
not where the fail comes from. So she went to
the tattoo place. She actually got her partner to write
mine in his handwriting, so that on her thigh was
in his handwriting, and it all looks great. He's got
he's actually got quite nice handwriting. So she takes it
to the tattoo place. They put it into their system,

(15:29):
They put it on her leg and they tattoo her.
And it's not until after the fact she looks down
at her thigh after she's wiped all the excess in cough,
and she's like, oh, no, he's written mime.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Why did he write mine?

Speaker 4 (15:47):
Because it's cursive. He's just done an extra little who
in the in the M, so it makes it look
like an M.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
So who's faultered? Is it? The boyfriends?

Speaker 4 (15:56):
Absolutely the tattoo artist, because the way that the boyfriend
wrote it it looked fine. But the tattoo artist has
gone a little bit too on the end and made
it into an M. And so now permanently she has
mime written on her upper thigh.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
I'll be honest, I think it's better.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
It's less problematic for.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
What is man keeping will find out with Darcy in
a moment in the news, however, just a very quick
I might be going a fraction early. What is this leather?

Speaker 4 (16:34):
Well, they've got the traditional ones and the modern ones.
So traditional for third anniversary is leather, but modern is
glass or crystal. They've updated a few of them.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
They the people who are getting the gifts and going
I don't want any leather.

Speaker 4 (16:47):
Well, some of them are a bit hard to achieve
these days. When you go with the traditional.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Ones venison, which you can still get at the butcher,
I get no.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
Just like really old school. I'll see if I can
find it here for you.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
When's the third anniversary.

Speaker 4 (17:06):
On this weekend?

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Love it? And by the way, welcome to marriage.

Speaker 4 (17:13):
Yesterday I went to my husband, Oh, it's that anniversary
on the weekend and he goes, yeah, I'm like, should
we go for dinner? He goes, oh, I guess, so
if you want.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
And so the first one, I bet the first one
was a big deal anniversary one.

Speaker 4 (17:25):
Yeah, I think it was. I think we had a
big celebration. And then too, the baby was really young,
so we were like, oh, we'll just like, guess have
dinner at home. And by number three we because it's
our birthdays in the lead up as well, and so
there's a lot happening, and so do you want.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
To hear how my wife and I celebrated our tenth like,
because it's a special one.

Speaker 4 (17:45):
Right, you were overseas, were you? No? That was another friend.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
Sorry, so many friends, so many anniversaries.

Speaker 4 (17:53):
I don't I don't care you.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
I love it that you barely remembered your third anniversary.
But you do remember we're a random friend. And what
they were doing. Anyway, I remember it vividly because I
was I was vacuuming the living area and my wife
came over to me and she said, oh, happy anniversary,
and yeah, well it just popped into her head. Oh

(18:18):
this is the date and that's the Yeah, there it
is the tenth. And so I kept vacuuming and I
got it done because I'm a bloody clebration. I'm a bloody.

Speaker 4 (18:29):
Dust is number his adversary tense gift idea that would.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
Be the greatest fluke in the history of the.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
World, Rod and Gabby versus.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
The world man keeping. I I am not familiar with
this term, Darcy.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
A recent Stanford University study has officially named the emotional
labor sucking the life out of straight women called man
keeping so it refers to the exhausting, unpaid gig of
managing men's moods, dress, and social lives, all while keeping
their own mental health afloats.

Speaker 4 (19:05):
No one wants to be man keeping.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
No one wants to be man kept here. We just
leave us alone.

Speaker 4 (19:14):
Some men like to replace their mother with their wives
and that and that's when this labor comes into play.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
That is a really smart point. There are a lot
of a lot of unsuspecting women who marry someone who
is looking for a surrogate mother.

Speaker 4 (19:33):
Yes, and no one wants that.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
Yes, surely keeping women out of the dating pool, yeah,
women want that.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
No women want that. Yeah, but Freud will tell you
that's what every bloke wants.

Speaker 4 (19:44):
Do you want that?

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Oh? Probably subconsciously on And I asked Freud, you know.

Speaker 4 (19:48):
What, I would love to go back home and have
all my washing done and all my cooking done and
everything else. But you get it like I get it.
But when it comes to a relationship, it's got to
be fifty to fifty guys. No one's coming into this
hoping that they can look after a manchild. Look at you,
Look at Sabrina Carpenter. She knows right, So whychild oh.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
Okay, I was going to feel like, what is she doing?

Speaker 2 (20:13):
Let's cross the Sabrennan carpenter expert in the area, right, Okay,
so we're all in agreement. Listen, look, look I've got nothing. Okay,
we're done. It's indefensible. Boys, we need to step it
up here. They've identified what we're doing. Let's cut it out.
But what are we to do? We can't fight our subconscious.

(20:35):
You can spoken like a man keeper, produce a Chelsea
welcome to the studio.

Speaker 4 (20:42):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
You've got some advice on how to date multiple people
at the one time. And I'm sure there's a really
alarming to Jared, your boyfriend who listens. So I think
you probably ought to explain.

Speaker 7 (20:54):
Yeah, so not me, So put a disclaimer out there.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
Not sorry, not sorry, not sorry, I think.

Speaker 7 (21:05):
But I was doing some eavesdropping last week and.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
What casual revel?

Speaker 4 (21:11):
Yeah, just do that.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
Secretly. That brings us to our first ever Chelsea's Eves
drop up the way, this is a record, I really
hope it is. Okay, just know, if you're sitting near Chelsea,
you could you could be the star of one of
these Chelsea Eves drop.

Speaker 4 (21:30):
She has the headphones on, but nothing's playing because she's listening.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
I do like to do that.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
What did you over here?

Speaker 7 (21:37):
So I overheard these two guys talking about dating and
on dating apps, so going on like multiple dates, and
I like, I haven't been on dating apps for a while,
but I remember like going on dates and and things
like this. And you'd think that, like at one time,
if you are dating, you're only going on a date

(21:57):
with like one.

Speaker 4 (21:58):
Person, but what were you doing data yet?

Speaker 7 (22:01):
Not just one person, but like you'd expect them to
put like a bit of effort in to like taking
you out on a date.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Well, of course for a date, yes, they have to
put that effort in. Yeah, don't listen to gave me
for a second. Remember this is the same person who
went through Orange like a hot knife. And I don't
mean an Orange, I mean the township, the central western
township in the New South Wales of Orange. You're not lying,
and you don't go through a town that fast by

(22:30):
one date at a time. Do you ever do multiple
dates in the one night? Too much? Anyway? So old
MAT's doing.

Speaker 7 (22:41):
This, yes, So he was saying that when he goes
on these dates, he has to prior to the date,
go back through the messages and read to the conversation.

Speaker 4 (22:51):
Do you research?

Speaker 7 (22:52):
Yeah, that's respectful of being like, okay, I need to
remember what we'd spoken about, just in case he brings
up something that another girl had said.

Speaker 4 (22:59):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (23:01):
And then he was saying as well that like he
was trying to put effort into these dates, but he
did rock up to one date and the place was closed,
like he hadn't put any effort into.

Speaker 4 (23:12):
Even checking if this place was open.

Speaker 7 (23:15):
And then another thing he was saying was he likes
to go on walk like walking dates, a coffee and
a walk, but he's had to change it to like
irregular times, just in case he crosses paths with someone else.

Speaker 4 (23:30):
Orange all over only that into Woomba when I met
my husband. So I met my husband on Tinder and
I just went to the same cafe for the first
date for everyone.

Speaker 7 (23:42):
That's the guy, would you organize the date?

Speaker 4 (23:46):
I would suggest the same favery time, just because I
really liked it.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
It was actually stopping.

Speaker 4 (23:54):
He's got to a point where I was sick of
making effort. Because I would make a lot of effort,
I'd get there. It's such a dud that I was
like them. So first date, no effort, because until you've
proven to me you're worth the effort, I'm not doing it.
So we kept going to this like I kept going
to this one cafe. And anyway, my husband and I
our first date was at this same guy. And he

(24:15):
has all these beautiful memories of this date, and he
remembers what I was wearing, he remembers what we talked about,
He remembers everything about this date. I remember nothing because
they were all just merging into one. I have no
idea about that first date. Crazy.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
If you were listening to the last fifteen minutes of
the show, you know, like husband, like work husband, as
Gabby confused me for a different guy only fifteen minutes ago,
did I?

Speaker 3 (24:42):
I love.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Rod and Gabby versus the World.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
Fantastic guests joining us this morning on the show Timothy
and Mitchell their two can bearns on Australia's Most Identical Twins,
a new show on Channel nine. Who didn't They say
they didn't realize they were identical?

Speaker 4 (25:03):
Well like super identical inter I think they test how
identical these twins are through different like questionnaires and kind
of fun little I think they're fun games according to
the trailer, to see how many things they actually do
choose in the same vein.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
So they were surprised. They learned about their own similarities
in this show. And they're going to be joining us
in the next fifteen minutes. Former star of The Bachelorette
Brook Blurton the Bachelorette herself, she'll be joining us just
after eight o'clock on her way to Cambridge. She's got
the new book A Good Kind of Trouble and KEYWEK.
Comedian Chris Parker joining us from New Zealand just after

(25:43):
eight thirty heeks making his debut on Have You Been
Paying Attention Tonight on Channel ten.

Speaker 4 (25:49):
They'd be nerve wracking.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, well you know we you know. Tom Gleisner,
who hosts the show, called into us a few weeks
ago and put us through our pace. I like it.
It's it's terrified.

Speaker 4 (26:02):
It's so terrified.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
Lots of great guests coming up on the show. How
are the first things?

Speaker 5 (26:06):
First?

Speaker 2 (26:06):
There's an Australian podcaster who has said to the Barbie
movie hold my beer. I'm going to trigger some blokes too.

Speaker 4 (26:14):
Yeah, didn't even mean to, just was on a podcast
they were having a little joke, and now the world
has fallen apart. Listen to the little joke that they
were having with her and another girl talking in this podcast.
Maddie Carty is her name, And this has just sparked outrage.

Speaker 6 (26:32):
Should we go if all men or all women got
like deleted off the planet?

Speaker 1 (26:35):
Like which gender wood would fare better?

Speaker 4 (26:37):
Women?

Speaker 7 (26:37):
Just figure it out, Like if you send a man
to the shops, he'll bring back the most random items
and you're like, why did you buy this?

Speaker 4 (26:44):
Like that it was a big joke. It was just
a joke in the middle of a conversation. Nothing untoward
was meant about it. But the response has been out
of this world. The response has been insane by men.
There's been a lot of men who have responded to

(27:06):
this joke about how women would fare better if they
were the only sex left on earth, and they're not
about it. One even said there's still time to delete
this because they were so incessantly mad about it. Other
people have said no matriarchy in history has ever survived.

(27:26):
I would like to argue there's never been a matriarchy
in history. When it comes to.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
Like Wonder Woman's Islands, people forget the Amazonian women. They
didn't have any blokes and they dominated, and then the
one woman that left the island right dominated wonder woman.

Speaker 4 (27:42):
Yeah, how dare you? How do you forget about them?

Speaker 2 (27:45):
There is precedent. I mean, I said this last week
on the show. Anytime that you go straight to the negative,
it's linked directly with one's insecurities, and we all have
them in different ways. So you know, it's just look,
it's an opportunity to be defensive, for to be honest.
And all I'll say is the part where we go
to the shops and come back with random stuff. We
just we're keeping it fun, you know, And we show.

Speaker 4 (28:07):
Up and you're like, what for You're not forward planning, no,
what you're going to actually put those ingredients together to make?

Speaker 2 (28:15):
No? No, no, not even that. I owned the shop
yesterday and my daughters said, hey, we've found out where
the La Boo boos and camera are. Yeah, And I said,
I don't think they're here. You have to go to
popmartin they're in Sydney. And they said, no, no, we've
got They didn't say we've got some male we've got into.
They said that reject shop next to the Kmart on.

(28:39):
He was in Street and Gungaran. Right, it's called home Base,
but it's a fancy reject shop.

Speaker 4 (28:43):
They go there there at the reject shop.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Well it's not the reject shop. It's called home Base.
Oh sorry, So they go it's it's like that, yea, yeah,
they go there there. I go, how much are they?
And they go there? Twenty bucks?

Speaker 4 (28:55):
They're not.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
They're not labus. They go they're real. I said, I
don't think they are, but we'll go and don a
look anyway, so we'll get there. They're not twenty bucks
to twenty four bucks anyway. Remembering that these sell like
retail eighty or ninety bucks up in Sydney.

Speaker 4 (29:09):
Well they're meant to be thirty five. But yeah, now
they're in demand.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
So I go, listen, these aren't these Just get ready yourself, girls.
These are going to be phe and they'll just be
behind the counter numbers. We get there, the box is there.
It looks so like looks fit income as. So I
get caught up in it, and so I get the
you did not You better believe I did. We've done it.

(29:36):
We've cracked the code. But we were going to do
the shopping for the week. We come home with la
boo boos in boxes. We bust them open. They're the
fakest things you've never seen in your entire life.

Speaker 8 (29:47):
But by point stands we keep it exciting going.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
Dusk. You got me made to a twins?

Speaker 3 (29:56):
No? Oh, actually no, I definitely do, Chelsea.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
I guess this is really interesting producer, Chelsea being here
while your twin sister Rachel is in Bunbury, is it
the first time in your life that you I mean,
you're always going to feel like a twin. Does it
feel different though?

Speaker 7 (30:16):
Yeah, definitely feels different being a part, But I think
it's good for us, and I feel like a lot
of twins will feel that, like when you are always
relying on each other. It feels yeah, like a type
of independence, which is nice.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
I noticed something, and this is really interesting that you
talk about that independence. It was your birthday last week
and we had a cake for you and you blew
it out and you went, that's the first time I've
done that by myself. And so you be encountering moments
like that now that you're here and Rachel's over there.
These boys were about to interview their can bearns but

(30:53):
and they're on this new Channel nine show Australia's Most
Identical Twins. They're both, they're both naval guys. Both they're
both in the Navy, which is really interesting because that
question is had to be cleared by the Navy. However,
was there I guess you and Rachel you might have
been on the same TV show if people didn't see
your season of Farmer Wants a Wife. That's what I'm
talking about. But you'd never thought of doing the exact

(31:14):
same job.

Speaker 7 (31:16):
Well, it's funny because we did the exact same degree,
Like we've both done the exact same degrees. But when
it comes to jobs, that's where we found like our differences,
which was nice because I really stuck to wanting to
be in radio and then she wanted to be more
in TV journalism.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
Yeah. Yeah, not a huge difference, subtle. She has to
spend more time in her makeup because of the TV.
I'm just gonna just give you an example of one
of the questions cleared by the Navy. Here, before we
get Timothy, Lieutenant Timothy and on lieutenant command. Does that
mean one of them is a higher rank? We're gonna

(31:56):
find out. We'll talk to them in a second one
of the questions that's been cleared by the how fully
rat is a defense career, specifically the Navy. I just
made that question out.

Speaker 4 (32:06):
Of good you did. They're not approving language.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Like rad that's pull rat more rat.

Speaker 4 (32:13):
How's that question to them? They'd be like a new.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Versus the world.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
Let's have a look at this trailer here Channel nine.
I've got a new show called Australia's Most Identical and
they've popped this up and they say, one hundred sets
of Ossie twins put to the test in a special
two night event to find Australia's most identical.

Speaker 5 (32:36):
There are human phenomena that have fascinated the world.

Speaker 4 (32:40):
We've been twins for twenty seven years.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
It's pretty much forever since.

Speaker 5 (32:44):
But now the search for Australia's most Identical twins.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Parents couldn't tell us apart.

Speaker 5 (32:51):
Over two groundbreaking nights.

Speaker 7 (32:53):
Would you rather men or women?

Speaker 3 (32:55):
I think we're gonna be different on this.

Speaker 5 (32:57):
Sets of Ossi twins put to.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
Do you always talk together at the same time?

Speaker 2 (33:05):
Oh wow? Okay, so that's the phenomenon that the world
was fascinated by with the.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
Queensland twins talking.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
At the same time seems to be going on. There's
a pair of young blokes from the Act and they
join us now, Lieutenant Timothy Lachlan and Lieutenant Commander Mitchell Lachlan.
Mitch and Tim, geto, boys, how are you going? Almost
talking at the same time? There, I will mention your

(33:34):
Are you in separate locations on separate phone lines at
the moment?

Speaker 9 (33:37):
Yes, we are, we are.

Speaker 4 (33:39):
It's like an echo.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
That's a good point. First. First thing we just need
to clear up. Mitch. Are you a higher rank than Tim?

Speaker 7 (33:53):
Yes?

Speaker 9 (33:53):
I am at the moment.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
Yet Tim, how did this happen?

Speaker 9 (33:58):
You know you've definitely a hype former.

Speaker 4 (34:01):
Oh really, So you're both differ in how you go
about life and work.

Speaker 10 (34:08):
I'll say you, we definitely have different different personalities and yeah,
I guess that would that would affect our work and
different relationships and things like that.

Speaker 4 (34:20):
You know, yeah, that makes sense.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
It was the interesting thing with Australia's most famous twins,
Mark and Steve in the cricket and Steve ended up
being Australian cricket captain. You can't have two captains, so
you can, but those teams are kidding himself.

Speaker 4 (34:33):
Imagine having co captains a twin.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
Well they could have You're right, Gabby, that wouldn't have
been the solution. So it can absolutely happen. This has
fascinated just Australia and the world just with the promo.
When did you boys hear about it? Why did you
decide to sign up?

Speaker 9 (34:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (34:50):
So I got an email from the Australian Twin Registry,
This was a couple of two and a half years
ago now, with a requesting for applicants for the shows.
So I filled out the form and then yeah, we
got a skype interview with the producer and yeah, and
then they were happy to have us on the show,
which was great.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
All right, we've got to go to produce a Chelsea
who is also a twin. Chelsea, are you familiar with
the Twin Registry? Are you on that?

Speaker 1 (35:17):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (35:18):
I feel like if I did get that email, it
must have been got lost in the jumps or something.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
Where is my email or all the twins on that?

Speaker 9 (35:28):
I don't know if all twins are on there? I
think it's it's not compulsory at all, so should be Yeah,
I think yeah.

Speaker 10 (35:35):
I think Mum signed us up years ago when we
were babies to get involved in some research or something.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
Well that makes sense, makes sense.

Speaker 4 (35:42):
Okay, so you're part of this show. It's a two
part special. They're figuring out Australia's most identical. Is it
true that you guys didn't realize how identical you were
until you participated in this show.

Speaker 9 (35:56):
Yeah? Absolutely.

Speaker 11 (35:58):
I think Tim and I like we know where identical
twins that we kind of don't look at ourselves as
being all that identical until it's pointed out to us.
And I guess one thing that we learned on the
show was that we're actually what's called mirror twins. So
it's like we're reflective in certain in certain senses, like
the crowns on the top of our heads are on

(36:19):
opposite sides and those.

Speaker 9 (36:21):
Kind of things.

Speaker 11 (36:21):
So even though we're identical twins, Yeah, we learned something
about the mirror twins phenomenon.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
You the best like doubles team in tennis, because one
of you is are lefty and ones in a writing.

Speaker 9 (36:33):
Well, we're actually both right handed.

Speaker 11 (36:36):
Yeah, we're both right handed, but I'm Mitch's goofy footed
and King's natural footed.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
Oh there you go.

Speaker 4 (36:43):
Yeah, you're both right handed because back in the day.
They used to love to force us to be right handed,
even if naturally we were predisposed of being lefty.

Speaker 9 (36:54):
Yeah, that's a good point. I think I was always
right handed.

Speaker 10 (36:56):
I don't know if Mitch got the left handed sort
of pushed out of him.

Speaker 9 (37:01):
I'm not sure.

Speaker 4 (37:03):
Maybe just ambidexteris you just go that's right. I'm so
excited to see this show because it's so interesting to
see how twins differ in different ways.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
It is fascinating, to say the least. And I've said
it a bunch of times and I'll say it again,
and has captured the imagination and attention of the country.
Tim and Mitch, thanks for sharing a bit of the story.
You're you and camera at the moment, or you're deployed.

Speaker 9 (37:27):
Yeah, we've actually so.

Speaker 10 (37:29):
When the show was filmed, I was posted out to camera,
but I think posted back out to the South Coast
and Mitch is out there as well.

Speaker 9 (37:36):
So yeah, we've both moved away from camera.

Speaker 10 (37:38):
But who knows, maybe one day down the track we'll
both be posted back to camera.

Speaker 4 (37:42):
We're still claiming you, so we're going to ignore that
that last sentence happened a lot of.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
People forget we've got a lot of Navy personnelity just
because it's a bit of a drive before you actually
get to the water park. All right, boys, congratulations, thanks
for sharing a little bit of the story. We look
forward to seeing you on the TV. This is going
to be really cool on Channel nine. We might chat
to you afterwards.

Speaker 9 (38:04):
Yeah, thanks, Rodny share.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
It's budget week, by the way, I mean, we know
because if it's so many leaks over the last week,
with a couple of days of our sleeve, Darty, keep spending, mate,
keep splashing the cash. What do we get today?

Speaker 3 (38:18):
So the announcement just this morning, about an hour ago,
was one hundred and forty five million dollars will go
towards the aim to achieve thirty thousand homes by twenty thirty.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
It's good.

Speaker 3 (38:32):
More than fifteen million dollars will go towards truism and
events in the capitol. Yeah, it'll be for events. And
then also live music and bringing enlightened in Florida are
bigger and better than ever.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
That love that.

Speaker 3 (38:46):
And finally, what's the last so the camera bit? Oh nope,
that's actually not what I was going to do. Molongolo
Valley that's what I was going to do. The land
release for Molongolo Molongolow Valley with ten million dollars package
for suburb upgrades across the region. So they'll just expand
more land for housing and then ten million dollars will

(39:07):
go towards making sure those areas look really good.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
That's a good point. There's one thing the Act does
better than New South Wales. It's managed the land releases
and the conditions on the developers to make sure they
don't just plunk a house and walk away. You gotta
have a little community playground.

Speaker 3 (39:24):
Got all sorts of things.

Speaker 4 (39:26):
That's nice.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
White. There's one more. What let's see.

Speaker 5 (39:32):
This is.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
The breeding program to protect the critically endangered Canberra earless
grassland dragon. That ealless dragon. It's been getting in our
way of developing, developing stuff for too long. Now we're
bankrolling it even more.

Speaker 4 (39:50):
We're going to breed it.

Speaker 2 (39:53):
What we're gonna do to it, we're going to protect it.
But will love that dragon, that ELSs dragon. We need
a team.

Speaker 4 (39:58):
I don't knoweelers dragon. Oh you know eel a dragon,
Just Eliza.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
Don't you don't talk it down until it's endangered. It's endangered.
Anytime there's some development in the area that can't go ahead,
it's that bloody earless dragon.

Speaker 3 (40:12):
Well they're near the airport, yes, and they wanted to
build that road and apparently the road, would you.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
Remember, that would kill them all and so all of them.
It was such a wide road. I think we need
to I need to change my attitude in regard to
the Earls. Save the dragon, the Grassland, the Grassland, eeless Dragon.
We need a footy team named.

Speaker 4 (40:34):
El Dragons, so that if we get a soccer team
here in Canberra.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
Here we go in, here we go in the Alas
to the dragons.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
I'd actually really like that. The cat.

Speaker 4 (40:43):
It's tough to cheer.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
Go the camera earless Dragons. I'm struggling to say Grassland
Eels Dragons as it is shouting it, you know, as
you get excited, But it's you've got to think about
the marketability of the earless Dragon. You want to turn
people's you know, will get very cynical about the eels Dragon.
We don't see a lot of the Eelos Dragon. We
know that Elos dragon stops us getting stuff done. But

(41:06):
if we get on.

Speaker 4 (41:08):
Its side, we've got to create some love.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
Yet and so I think that's the that's the opportunity.
That's opportunity knocking, isn't it? And so the government's behind it.

Speaker 4 (41:16):
Well, let's make some T shirts, all right?

Speaker 2 (41:17):
All right, this is the beginning of a thing. And
dragon mascot giant mascot. You saw how people loved that
Tasmanian mascot down there for the new footy team.

Speaker 4 (41:28):
I feel like the Elis dragon would be more attractive
than that ugly, tazzy devil that they created.

Speaker 2 (41:33):
That's saying a lot of flat material. I feel like
this Eelos dragon would be an ablomination, but in a
good way. Not we're gonna work versus the world? Where early?
Is that what Channel nine's doing? It's Channel nine some
book mod whoever, whoever's managing the tour for Brook Blurton
in the Bachelorette is a stickler for Time West. She

(41:55):
might be on another interview. We'll catch up with her soon.
She was one of the bachelorettes.

Speaker 4 (42:00):
She was also on the Bachelor as one of the
many girls. And then when she left that because she
didn't want to be with Honey Badger.

Speaker 2 (42:08):
Oh there was the Honey Bager one became the.

Speaker 4 (42:10):
Bachelor ratte where she had both guys and girls competing
for her love.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
So it was down to the final three on the
Bachelor she said I'm gone and then and then the
honey Badger goes, well, I'm not either of these and
so everyone get very upset because he went on there
to find love. Wasn't said when he was honest at
Lisa's I'm not in love with it. I don't see
any prospect with either of these girls. I'm not just
going to say something to make it look good on
the TV. And so he skipped out. But is the

(42:37):
consensus that, had had Brook stayed in there, that he
might have gone ahead with it.

Speaker 4 (42:42):
We think that he was definitely leaning towards her, but
we will never know. We will never know. Brook might know.
Maybe we can ask her who's the honey badger with
no one? Oh, I don't know. He was someone. I
haven't followed him since then.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
I was. I saw him. He popped up yesterday on
the scroll and he jumped out. He was driving in
the hes out back somewhere and he jumped out of
his full drive because you know, a sheep with horns,
he go on a ram. You know a ram ram,
I'm a country guy, just like the honey Badger. So

(43:19):
he runs over. He goes, what's this? No, he runs
over and he sees the ram with big the big
curly horns got caught in the barbed wire on the fence.
So the rams get through because that's what rams do.
And he's such a big, strong bloke. You know he's
a Wallaby, isn't he union player?

Speaker 5 (43:38):
Right?

Speaker 2 (43:39):
Yeah, he's an international, you know, superstar union guy. He
grabs this sheep like he's going to wrestle him, and
the sheep's freaking out, and then he gets the wire
and goes round around his horns. But he's like, okay,
I'm on the road side. I can't just let this
guy loose and run in front of a car. So
he wrestles him down as like the front to the front,

(44:02):
two hooves in one hand, the back too. An there's
a giant sheep like, imagine how heavy it is, and
then lifts it up out in front of him. You
ever tried to do that? Will you lift weights out
in front of you?

Speaker 4 (44:13):
Oh? Let him? No, I've never lifted a ram.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
You've wrestled them on the ground. And you grab him
on the front hooves in the back hovees and he
goes over to the fence and he just lifts him
over the fence upside.

Speaker 4 (44:24):
Down and just drops him over.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
He's wearing like Hank Coubra. It's the most manly thing
I've seen set.

Speaker 4 (44:31):
Up, because it feels like this is too good to
be true.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
Yes, it did look like that, and he was like no.
He had a little catch phrase as well as the
ram ran off the ram wrangler, but he didn't say that,
but he just he said, I don't even know if
he grabbed the tip like the front of his hat
and tipped his hat, but he might as well have.
And he just went, no worries or something like that.
No Waker's mate, something like that.

Speaker 4 (44:55):
Set up all right.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
We'll catch up with Brook at some point. She's got
a new book. It's a called A Good Kind of
Trouble and camera. Ten thousand dollars in just a second,
third and ten sixty. Get ready you're que to call
in just a second. What is going on in twenty
twenty five with working from home and us still not
understanding how to manage zoom. We've been doing this for

(45:18):
five years.

Speaker 4 (45:19):
Now, has it been that long.

Speaker 8 (45:20):
Well, yeah, right, five years and of living with you know,
another person in your house, like a housemate or a
husband or a wife who's on zoom meetings.

Speaker 4 (45:34):
Oh no, what's happened now?

Speaker 2 (45:36):
So my wife was on a zoom meeting when I
was at home.

Speaker 4 (45:39):
Story.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
I was at home and my wife was working from
home for whatever reason. And she must have been on
one of these online meetings. And we've all been on
them where you just put it on mute and the
meeting just happens. Yes, you know, you're obliged. They see
you've logged on and you're on it, and that's fine.
And so a long time had passed with her just

(46:02):
listening to a number of people talking. So I figured
it was just a training call, and so in the
name of funniness, Oh no, you didn't, I shout out
to her from the other side of the room, and
this is my exact quote, because I had to write
it down afterwards. I shout out, can you have Gareth
speak with Jenny about the guardrails around visibility of the

(46:23):
steering committee? Please? And then I hear from my wife's computer. Sorry, Amy,
we didn't catch that, at which point I realized she's
not on mute and it's not a training call, it's
a proper meeting. And if you're in the aps, you
know the phrase can you have Gareth speak with Jenny
about the guardrails around visibility of the steering committee please,

(46:45):
is absolutely something that someone might say. So they didn't
think someone was messing around. They thought it was probably
a fair question.

Speaker 4 (46:54):
Obviously not your wife's voice though.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
But I'll tell you right now it was a bloody
good question and a smart point. Gareth does need to
talk to Jenny about the guardrails around the I don't
even know.

Speaker 4 (47:08):
Can we circle back to when you said why don't
we know about zoom meetings? By now? Are you talking
about yourself a little bit?

Speaker 2 (47:18):
Neighbors is on the way out again.

Speaker 4 (47:23):
Yeah, and that's a problem because last time around, when
Neighbors was canceled, before they were saved by their American network,
they had a big finale episode where Carlie Minogue came back.
Jason Donovan was there, Lance, Holly Va Lance. There was
like a bunch of stars who made a little cameo

(47:43):
to farewell what was a huge part of their lives
in their early days of acting.

Speaker 2 (47:48):
Tammon Sirsock, no one. I think she should have been.
She was good, she come back to the father, she
was more.

Speaker 3 (48:00):
She was there.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
That's the other one too.

Speaker 4 (48:05):
All these big stars were there and they did a
big farewell episode and they really went all out, and
then they were saved and they came back to do
some more Neighbors. So now they're trying to do another
farewell episode to really farewell at this time around. It's
like the John Farnham to you know, the last time again.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
Well, I don't think they're going to be saved again.

Speaker 4 (48:26):
No, they're not going to be saved again. So this
is it, This is really it. And so they've sent
out invites to old stars to participate in the final episode, right,
and they're not getting anything back.

Speaker 2 (48:38):
This just in the big star to come back. We
retired about two weeks ago. Tody, he's going to come back, guys.

Speaker 4 (48:47):
He'll come back, for sure, he is.

Speaker 2 (48:50):
He, I mean, I know he quit and then it
got canceled.

Speaker 4 (48:53):
So he was in the final episode last.

Speaker 2 (48:55):
Time, oh the last time. He was the centerpiece of
the whole thing. And then confusingly and it picked back up.
His missus had changed and so there's something whacky happened
with Tody. But then he announced this and it's time, guys,
it's time I left neighbors. Maybe that was the part
where Paramount or whoever owns it said, well, it's time
for us and.

Speaker 4 (49:13):
Not continue to moving forward without Tody. No, it's not
Ramsey Street without Toady, no neighbors.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
Yeah, so any way, he'll be back if he has
left it all.

Speaker 4 (49:21):
Supposedly, Kylie Minogue was asked and she's her sentiment and
this is not a quote from her, but supposedly her
sentiment around her appearance on the last final episode. She
reckons it was a waste of her time because then
it came back. So there's no way she's coming back. However,
there is one name who is potentially coming back, according
to these sources, and that is Kimberly Davies. Does anyone

(49:50):
remember who she was?

Speaker 2 (49:52):
Blonde?

Speaker 4 (49:53):
Yeah, it's about as far as I go with her too.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
I know this, she was someone, she was someone you
sure she will not a home.

Speaker 1 (50:00):
And away probably versus the world.

Speaker 2 (50:04):
Out of nowhere. Darcy arrives with breaking news, and not
the bad breaking news that we've had for the last
twenty four hours.

Speaker 1 (50:11):
Roden Gammy's Big Yews.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
Give us some good news, Darcy.

Speaker 3 (50:16):
So the soccer rus are coming to cambell to this
what we needed on September five and they'll be playing
against New Zealand on Friday.

Speaker 4 (50:26):
So did they see how good it was to have
the Matilda's here and how excited this city was to
have the girls played that? They were like, we want
a bit of that. We were a slice of that action.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
Well, they were here Afghanistan. Maybe we played a year
and a half ago, and so we're back.

Speaker 4 (50:43):
That's right, because that's when they're uninspired, inspired, unemployed. Did
they're a practical joke there?

Speaker 2 (50:50):
Yes, yes, we remember the halftime entertainment vividly, but we
will be focusing on the game this time and we're
playing the Kiwi's. We've qualified for the World Cup, so
I assume this is what is known in soccer verbage's
are friendly.

Speaker 3 (51:03):
Yes, I would assume.

Speaker 5 (51:05):
So.

Speaker 3 (51:06):
I don't know whether the New Zealand has qualified though,
so maybe it's a big match for them heading into.

Speaker 4 (51:12):
The Would you be a nice guy and let the
Kiwis win to get them in or would you never
do that? Well?

Speaker 3 (51:19):
With the Matildas when they were playing who was it Argentina.
Argentina were already in and the Matildas weren't, so maybe
they that's what happened there too.

Speaker 4 (51:29):
Just let them have a little free kick, just get
them through. I think I'd be nice enough to do that,
would I know I would have.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
When you think about Australia and New Zealand sporting past,
and you know the infamous under armed bowl, the lowest
of lows in our relationship in sport, there would be
an opportunity to make amends and to be help our
an Zac brothers out. And you know, by the way,
when I know that this will not be he qualifier

(52:00):
because I don't think they're in our group, a bit
to check that, so so they are say it all
works out and we can throw the game to get
them into the World Cup. This that would be a
lovely thing to do. Would we be angry as a
nation if if they did it? Yes?

Speaker 3 (52:18):
The competitive spirit. You've got your career on the line,
well not on the line, but your career is built on.

Speaker 4 (52:25):
At this point in your sporting career, if you're not
hectically competitive.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
So it's and they don't want to gimme They've got
more pride than that, do they. Amazing news The PGA
Championship has just been one Australia is ming Lee has
taken down. That's a twelve million dollar perpose. Someone's interested

(52:50):
because that's her third career PGA golf major. She is
the biggest star in women's golf these days and she's
a nausey out there doing a great job. We had
Tom Gleisner from Channel tens have you been paying attention
call through a couple of weeks ago and put us
to the test of what it's like to be on

(53:10):
the show.

Speaker 4 (53:11):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (53:12):
It's frightening stuff and it's competitive and that was just
with us because you don't just answer right or wrong.
I don't know whether or not they are brief beforehand
those who are competing on this show as to whether
or not they need to be hilarious, but to be
competitive fast and you know, drop funny, funny jokes right

(53:33):
the way through. It's incredible. It is one of the
great shows on Australian TV and key we Chris Parker,
one of the great comedians, is on the show making
the debut tonight. Chris Gooday, congratulations.

Speaker 9 (53:46):
No pressure, right no pressure at all.

Speaker 4 (53:49):
There's already a lot of pressure. How were you in
the lead up to filming this? Were you freaking out
because you know the show?

Speaker 5 (53:55):
Well? Yeah, I have paid a lot of attention to
Australian new over the week, so I'm really trying to
brush up. I'm learning who Bob Catter is, I'm learning
you know, who Terry Irwin is. I'm really schooling myself up.
I've got to be paying attention to all the news.

Speaker 2 (54:11):
As a key we it is interesting we see a
bit of your news and I suppose you see a
bit of ours. But it is such a uniquely Australian show.
While we share similar sense of humor, and you obviously
tour here and everyone has a good time, it's that
current affairs stuff that you need to be right on
top of. So you really did have to study up.

Speaker 5 (54:33):
I did well. I do feel like Australians and New
Zealanders have the same kind of attitude where we're like
just minding our own business at the bottom of the world.
Meanwhile it all seems to be going crazy and like America,
and we're just like, oh, I hope we don't get
dragged into what was going on, like we're not really
a part of us.

Speaker 9 (54:49):
We're just doing our own thing over here.

Speaker 5 (54:50):
We're just like talking about crocodiles, like, please leave us alone.

Speaker 4 (54:55):
Is the true that the New Zealand version of have
You Been Paying Attention? Doesn't exist anymore?

Speaker 5 (55:00):
Yeah? Wait to rub it in.

Speaker 4 (55:01):
Yeah, I just felt like you haven't had a practice ground.

Speaker 5 (55:07):
We get it. It's so much better over here. Yeah. No,
we we had to go and then it was another
because we lost the project before Australia lost it and
we lost heavy Been Paying Attention? So I think if
you want to know how the future of TV is going,
just keep an eye on New Zealand TV.

Speaker 4 (55:23):
Is that a concern? Is that a concern for the
block because the block was canceled?

Speaker 5 (55:29):
Oh exactly, Like we have basically two TV shows now
we have like one TV station, Like we're basically turning
into North Korea. So yeah, I would just say, you know,
keeping a close eye on us with one state broadcaster.
And that's it.

Speaker 4 (55:45):
So when are you moving to Australia?

Speaker 10 (55:48):
You don't, you dare?

Speaker 5 (55:52):
It's so many you know how many Kiwis have moved
over here. It's crazy, Like it's just ridiculous o'p tore
over in Australia, and then I'd be like any key
reason and then it would be like we could have
done this and make Hamilton guys, what's going on?

Speaker 2 (56:09):
All your bob tattegear is falling flat because the audience.

Speaker 5 (56:13):
A right, I'll dust off my just and the gear.

Speaker 2 (56:16):
God's sake. Who else do you remember? Who else is
going to be on the show with you tonight?

Speaker 5 (56:22):
I've got the amazing Well obviously Ed and Sam the Legions.
In the end, we've got bron Lewis, a star of
heavy vans paying attention, and Alex Ward and it's just
so funny as well, so you feel very blessed and
good company. My first time, I would say, I'm quite tall,
and I was sitting on that front desk and my
knees were up by my ears. So if you're looking,

(56:46):
if people are wondering through that tall giant, as I
tried to make myself shorter, I promise as a.

Speaker 2 (56:50):
Tall guy you would have never been put in the
front row any other time. But of course if they
put you in the back row, then it's difficult to
frame the shot. I suppose, so it's your first time.

Speaker 5 (56:59):
There with but there always but the new guy at
the front of you exactly. I know, like back in
the day school photos, I always knew I was like
you know, back Rowe in the center, like I was
always a tall stix in my calf. I'm such hot three,
like I'm a giant. Yes, I'm doing yoga at the
moment really for my flight home.

Speaker 4 (57:15):
You know, how do you go in yoga? Do you
just like when you're doing downward dog, you're the other
person's space.

Speaker 5 (57:22):
Yeah, basically is like downward and up right around and
back again dog. Like I just been so long, I
actually can't stand yoga because yeah, again, I'm just so long,
Like I just the weight difference of my legs, they're
like four meters long. Like it's just I'm not putting
my hats out.

Speaker 9 (57:38):
I just don't have the patience for yoga, and I
never have.

Speaker 2 (57:41):
It sounds like a good dilemn to me, But that's
spoken by someone who is nowhere near six foot three.
Chris Parker, Have you been paying attention the debut performance
tonight on Channel ten? Good luck, mate, Thank you for
the time, and we look forward to chatting camera coming here, coming.

Speaker 11 (57:55):
To it here well.

like they're just the sweetheart.

Speaker 2 (58:00):
So I have to come fantastic. We will see you soon, mate,
and we'll see you on the TV tonight.

Speaker 9 (58:05):
