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 glass.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
What's a procedure?

Speaker 3 (00:08):
This is Roden Gabby versus.

Speaker 4 (00:10):
The world.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Fry. Yay, we did it.

Speaker 4 (00:16):
We're finally there.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Five day week. Well done. Hello Gabby, Hello, welcome to
your final shift with us today.

Speaker 5 (00:25):
Dance.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Yeah, good morning, and good morning to your of your
joining uscross the greatest.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
Very happy about it? Oh no, yeah, I have a little.

Speaker 6 (00:34):
Bit excited for what's ahead, but that's still sad.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
If you are joining us for the first time. This
is Darcy. He won't be here after today because you're
your tenure wraps up as you decide to move to
South America. I know you said you're gonna come back,
but I for me in my mind's eye, you fine, love,
you settle now, and you give us someone to visit

(00:58):
on the other side of the planet.

Speaker 6 (00:59):
So you've got a hunch. I'm moving permanently to Mexico.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
And you're unwitting you're going to go over there. This happens,
beautiful story.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
It happens to camera all the time. People go I
just came to Cambra for a year, and I've been
here for twenty that's.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
All the time. How does that happen? Do you come here,
find love and settle down? I don't know, but certainly
international adventure, anything can happen out there, mate. Yeah, I'm
very excited for you, that's true.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
Also, if you're going for more than a month, you
are moving there.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Do you reckon?

Speaker 4 (01:28):
Yeah? If you go over six months, absolutely you're moving there.

Speaker 6 (01:31):
But it's not in one specific play.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
It doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yeah, Okay, I can see you integrating into Mexican.

Speaker 6 (01:41):
Village life with no Spanish at all.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
Now, but you'll figure it out in time.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
All right, Well, we've got a morning together, so let's
get stuck into it here. I'm going to clickbait us
as a city and I apologize. However, the NBL's coming
back to Canberra.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
It actually is.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
I'm right, I know. But you hear that and you
go the Canons are back. I'm not saying the Cannons
are back, but we are saying, Darcy.

Speaker 6 (02:12):
Yeah, Well they're coming for preseason. All ten teams are
coming to play over a weekend in August and they'll
be doing all at ais Arena.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
So it's kind of like Magic Round for the NRL
in Brisbane, but it's for the basketball preseason here in Canberra,
so every team will play. I think there's like twenty
games or ten games over five days or something like that.
Ten games and it is going to be so good.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
It is going to be fantastic.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
I'm so excited. And this has to be a precursor
for us to get a team back.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
It has to be correct.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
Why else would you bring the NBL to Canberra if
we weren't looking at getting a team back.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Correct. So since the jujap of the Ais, that's how
Kieran Perkins, who oversaw the juja describes its. Yes, but
nevertheless that's the sentiment and it's right since he's done
such an incredible job. We've broken the national ice hockey
attendance record and now the eyes of the NBL turned
back to the nation's capital where the once upon a

(03:10):
time three time national champions, the Canberra Cannons, called home,
and we count down now to when we're giving the
green light to get back in there. And there's been
talks on the down low for the last twelve months
about that, behind the scenes, and so we just continue
to hold our breath for that. But NBL are saying

(03:31):
we have not forgotten about you. In fact, the most
exciting part of the preseason in the NBL is this Blitz,
ye and it's coming his a three day festival.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
I am so excited.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
I'm very excited. A couple of years ago there was
a young Cambra kid called Alex two who turned up
to the Blitz. Obviously it wasn't here. He set the
Blitz on fire. They said, this kid's the next big thing.
And today he will be drafted into the NBA today,
which is incredible. It's the draft pick today, so the
drafts yesterday. He's going to go in the mid thirties
and so is he Marris boy, is he? That's right?

(04:07):
Twenty one? Incredible and he will get picked up today
in Day two of the NBA Draft in the US.
I don't know which team he will go to, but
obviously you'll be keeping an eye on it in the Newstent.
But it highlights the importance of this Blitz. You see
obviously the star imports that are joining the competition for
the first time, and then you see the stars of
the future like Alex, who are young guys that may

(04:30):
have grown up in Australian towns all around the place
and are on their way to the biggest competition on
the planet. So this is fantastic. Tickets gone sale nine
thirty this morning, Yes.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
So nine thirty this morning and they're going to sell
out real quick. So it's happening from Wednesday, the twenty
seventh of August to the thirty first of August, so
five days, two games per day. Was so good. I'm
so excited about it.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
If you ever went to a basketball game when you
were a kid or a grown up, I remember going
and seeing the Southeast Melbourne Magic, the North Melbourne Giants.
I remember going to the Canbra Crocodiles and the Cans
Taipe hands over the years, and of course anyone who
grew up here going to Canberra Cannons games. There is
no energy in atmosphere like this.

Speaker 4 (05:13):
Every Cannons game as a kid, mainly to see the
halftime performers.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
But you know, whatever, the motivation was.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
Rod and Gabby versus the world.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
What nineties pets is making a comeback? And what is
a nineties pets?

Speaker 4 (05:29):
I knew you'd ask that question, because the nineties pet
is making a comeback. People are really excited about this
it's been seen in Kmart, it's been seen in some
other toy stores, and it is sea monkeys. Oh okay,
how excited here it is?

Speaker 1 (05:52):
I I think sea monkeys have been around longer than that.
Oh you got your childhood.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
Around for a very long time. But they just have
like these these lifts in popularity every now and then.
Right in the nineties, it was huge, right massive, and
then now and then they kind of had a lull,
and now they're coming back and people are getting really
excited about it.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
It kind of had a forty year thirty year lull. Yeah,
that's a lull.

Speaker 4 (06:20):
Luckily in their little dehydrated eggs they don't, you know,
expire before.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Even before television. I remember if you if you ever
go to a comic book store and they let you
go back through the super old ones, like there's sixties
comic books. They're mail away things that you can cut
out from them.

Speaker 4 (06:41):
I think there's actually a sea monkey's comic from back
in the day.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Too, probably like you know, and but you'd also be
able to mail away for X ray glasses and all
sorts of silly things. But sea monkeys, sorry, cool super
smart things like sea monkeys that were just popular there
for so many decades. But have had a lull explain
to me, by the way, because I've never had them.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
I had these back in the nineties and it's like
this little container. They're like a micro shrimp. I think
that's what they are.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
And so they are a living organised yea.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
Yeah, And it's dehydrated eggsit you get in a packet
and when you put them into the water and with
the special I don't know formula that they make you
stir in there as.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Well, brings stuff to life.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
They hatch and they're really really tiny, and then they
can grow to be I don't know, maybe the size
of about four or five millimeters long. Like they don't
get huge, but you can create little worlds for them whatnot.
You've got to feed them every couple of days. You've
got to airrate the water to make sure that they survive.
As a nineties kid, you've got to have patients to

(07:49):
get them to be big, and not many people.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Did, especially nineties kids. That was the beginning of the
end of the patients.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
You're right. And my sisters and I all had sea monkeys.
We've got them for Christmas and my sister's friend hates
me telling this story because she still feels bad about
it to this day. But I was dedicated to my
sea monkeys and I was really keen to see them
get big. My sisters had given up on theirs, but
I would say, no, I'm going to get these sea
monkeys big. And then at my sister's birthday party one year,
her friend accidentally knocked the container and spilt all over

(08:19):
the couch, and to my sea monkeys were no longer,
and I was devastated. And she still feels terrible about
it to this day every time I bring it up.
Because I do bring it up because it's funny.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
I'm not sure I mean in her defense, and I
don't want her to carry, you know, this burden she's
guilty any longer. Yeah, And I don't know for a fact,
but I'm guessing that sea monkey has no, you know,
sort of awareness memory. I wouldn't think so consciousness.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
I couldn't tell you you're the Vergio. You tell me,
I gladly dream.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
That jug full of sea monkeys and not feel guilty
for a Second's sick because the play tastes terrible, but
I would drink. I mentioned I don't know a couple
of weeks ago. North Melbourne supporters don't need to freak out.
Your team's good, coach is great, You're going to be fine.
And then they came out and they won as I
kind of you know, forecast in a roundabout way, and

(09:16):
none kid, everyone w Carlton is a disaster. I can't
believe you're lost to North Melbourne. They're the worst, which
now makes you the worst. Fire the coach. Now that
is a that is a short summation of an entire season,
perhaps even longer. But Melbourne, but Carlton supporters were banged
for blood, you know, and you know, you know that

(09:37):
your team can be good when you start shouting to
fither coach. I'm a security supporter and now we have
nothing to show for. You know, my entire lifetime of supporting.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
Them and changes of coach haven't helped.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
Correct And so now you know, we don't even say
fire the coach. We go, well, what are we gonna do?
We're to fire this guy and get another guy that
can't get it done, stick with this guy. Just see
what happened. But Carlton have had success you when a
lot of their supporters were younger. And then they go,
we want some more of that. We don't know what
that's like. So we got.

Speaker 4 (10:06):
Anyway, you don't have the baseline.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
We don't have we have no reference. And so they
went into last night's game against port with people going listen,
they're gonna show up, get right, really pumped up. They
need to show they've got some heart and some courage.
And then they didn't score pretty much for half the game,
and then they lost by a million goals by the
end of the game, and so it was very bad anyway,
bad from bad to worse. The news this morning that's

(10:31):
being reported on the TV from out the front of
Carlton HQ is going like this.

Speaker 7 (10:39):
Well, Blues fans are absolutely fed up, and that is
evident because written on quite a number of the walls
here at Princess Park is.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Now written seems like a polite way of saying, spray
painted slash graffiti haven't gone a little text up. It's
not a little bit of chalk. This is there's someone's
got a terrible job on their hands, having a scrub
the HQ clean today.

Speaker 7 (11:03):
Graffiti starting with this sack the board that spray painted
last night.

Speaker 8 (11:08):
There's also a number of other messages.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
Shot his Shavot supports and me might not even have
an AFL team, you, Sydney boy, I have no idea.

Speaker 8 (11:20):
I don't know, including Sack Austin, sack Lloyd.

Speaker 7 (11:24):
That's the list manager Nick Austen and footy manager Brad Lloyd.

Speaker 8 (11:27):
Interesting to you though, it says Keith Voss.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Well, I think that gets us to the bottom of
who's done it?

Speaker 4 (11:32):
Who's boss?

Speaker 1 (11:33):
He's a coach, he says the world. Now this is
good new good timing. So, Darcy, we had the big
game with Penrith taking on Bulldog's top of the table
last night and you just reported that Penrith got it done.
What must have been an old fashioned arm wrestle. What
was the final score eight to six, which is.

Speaker 6 (11:56):
Very low scoring across the whole game, but reports that
I've seen across today. So it's the game of the
season so far.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Yeah, and you don't usually have an eight six final
score where people go to the game of the season,
but old fashioned arm wrestle. It sounds like it was.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
It was a struggle to the end.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yeah, and look great defense. I said this weeks ago.
It was at last ten minutes of that game. I
watched of the Raiders, and while it sounds like a
boring thing to say, if you want to watch great defense,
that was fantastic. Well, it sounds like this was a
game of defense. And so halfway through the second half,
the Pennies were still only on two, the Bulldogs were
on six. And then the man they say is the

(12:36):
best player in the world did.

Speaker 4 (12:37):
This charge down.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
It's clearing. We gets back, he catches eightest. God, she's
good and I usually don't get around him. But he
now puts the Raiders in prime position to go top
of the table.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
That's why you love Cleary today.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
Today's's day. We as a city, we cared about that
game more than we otherwise would have. Hayden, have you
got the update on where tonight's game. If we win,
we go top of the table. If we win on
top of the table, that's it. We got to win,
all right. The newsboys are all across it today. We'll
cross back to the newsroom with both you gentlemen throughout

(13:21):
the morning. Gee, you'd be loving amazing news. That maybe
would be the greatest thing I've heard in my entire life.
So no pressure to not clickbait to see Gabby but
it is a dream of mine to see a Disneyland
built in our great country.

Speaker 4 (13:43):
Well, I think we are a step closer. And this
is me saying that this is not somewhere else that
I've pulled that from. I think we're a step closer
to having Disneyland in Australia because the US have trusted
us to have the world's first Barbie cafe outside of

(14:04):
the United States of America.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Solid but nowhere near our own Disneyland.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
But the fact that they've trusted us to do that
means that we're in good stead for a Disneyland.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
So where is the longboat drawer? I get it side
as they love Sydney Harbor and so if they can
put a pop up there, a Darling Harbor there or
somewhere near the bridge or whatever, they think it's iconic.

Speaker 4 (14:27):
No, it's not in Sydney.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
Where is.

Speaker 4 (14:28):
It's in Melbourne. It's a Chadstone shopping center.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
It's in Chatty Shopping it is it's the.

Speaker 4 (14:33):
First ever Malibu Barbie cafe outside of the States. As
I mentioned, it's only here for a limited time. They
reckon it will stay open till at least summer. But
you know, if it's really popular. I reckon it'll just
keep going. But it's like stepping into your own Barbie dreamhouse,
like life size version, and they've got like a pink
Barbie scooter out the front, and everything's very Barbie centric
and it's very cute and I really love it. But

(14:57):
I just feel like, you know, America, our owns Disneyland.
I know that it's in other countries, but in every
country except here originated in America. I feel like this
is them dipping their toe into Australia to see how
the Barbie Cafe goes, to see how much we get
around it, and if we do, then they might say, alright,

(15:19):
at this time.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
You're giving us some hope. So Mattel, who owned Barbie,
are not even mid They're deep through construction of their
first theme park in America. And so you think about
Mattel and so that roller coaster is going to be
the hot Wheels, rolling awesome, Barbie Land will be in there,

(15:40):
Masters of the Universe Land will be in there, and
so all those incredible assets that Mattel have, Okay, I'll
take in Mattel World. Okay, Okay, there you go.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
Okay, you're not super disappointed? Are you a little bit.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
Versus the world?

Speaker 1 (15:56):
And good morning to produce Chelsea, good morning. As a
Perth girl, do you feel pride with Perth making the
news today for the pub thefts or shame?

Speaker 2 (16:07):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (16:07):
Pride, pride and really if we all think about it,
I mean, none of us will, with the exception of
some you know, like fingered people who are like the
five finger discount. None of us steal anything. But after
you've had a skinful of the pub and you're a youngster,
for whatever reason, someone wants to steal the eight ball

(16:28):
from the pool table. Someone thinks, oh, it's more glasses
at home, because you probably do. You're in a sharehouse
or whatever, and you're swipe stuff from the pub.

Speaker 4 (16:36):
I haven't woken up the next morning with stuff in
my bag, but I swear it was me right. People
are sneaking stuff in.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
I'm sure who knows how. The point is, it's a
great slash shame for all ossie tradition to get on
it be young and steal stuff from the pub, and
Perth is keeping that tradition alive today. Yes.

Speaker 9 (16:55):
So in Lancelin, which is about an hour north of Perth,
a video has gone viral from a tavern. It's got
like twenty seven million views on Instagram of these blokes
stealing the bar mats from the tavern, like one by one,
just sneakily going up and like taking the bar mats.
And they ended up taking the AFL premiership flag as well.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
I touched the premiership flag. That's where they draw when
there's going to be trouble. Okay, but it would be
so sticky, they'd be sticky, they'd be they'd.

Speaker 9 (17:28):
Be the video of how they do it, one by
one stealing.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
So the security footage from behind the bar.

Speaker 4 (17:34):
And it's one of those bar mats that's like a
material bar matt, by the way, not like one of
those thick rubber ones. Well, no, they are underneath. Yeah,
I think there's just different ones.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
But they're a long they're a long bar rudder. Yes, okay,
So it's looks like it's a hearneken matt there and
it's quiet because it's silent, I should take it as
a security camera. And old mate is it's.

Speaker 4 (17:59):
Got a bit stuck. Well, there's sticky a the MAT's
just trying to.

Speaker 9 (18:03):
Act so casual about it, but like they're probably having
the biggest laugh. Look at them shoving them in a
woolwortz bag.

Speaker 4 (18:11):
I might mention that they've pre planned this.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
I planned nothing. They've got no. I'll tell you why
this isn't. This is when you hear the term daylight robbery.
Have a look at this footage. It's the middle of
the day. And so if you have ever indulged in
in a late night pub swipe, it's late night and
the place is packed and no one sees anything, right,

(18:35):
you wake up and get home Like Gabby, I don't
even know what happened with all this stuff. There is
no one else. There's like three or four of these boys.

Speaker 4 (18:45):
It's like a Sunday session or something. Yeah, and what
is the jacket over the bag?

Speaker 1 (18:51):
The stiest looking blokes, they're smiling, they're looking sideways and
this I guess the flag right? Okay, so now the
attempt to try and steal the premiership flag from the
local footy.

Speaker 9 (19:04):
Club up the back of the jumper.

Speaker 4 (19:06):
That's actually that was the most they've been so far.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
That was pretty good. It is it's it's turned into
a crime spree at this stage. I reckon they're up
to about eight bar mats.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
Yeah, I think stolen. He just folded up one of
the bar mats and put it into the back of
his pants. He would have the grossest drippings down his
boat crash. That was a really bad idea.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
At a certain point in this, you know, this escapade,
you don't know what you're doing.

Speaker 4 (19:35):
But he's going to wake up in the morning. He's
going to go to the loop and he's going to go,
oh my god, am I sick?

Speaker 8 (19:39):
Like what is this?

Speaker 1 (19:42):
That's all right, it's a bar You're the Sticky Bandits.
Have you heard of the Sticky Bandits?

Speaker 4 (19:50):
Start briefing just then, come on, has no one seen
Home Alone? Have you seen Home Alone?

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (19:56):
So in the first Home Alone, they're the Wet Bandits.
When they rob the joint, they turn all the taps
on and the basement's all flood and everything. They call
themselves a wet bandits. Oh they've got a curly haired
guy decides that's a name, and the bald guys, I
know we're not. That's silly. He doesn't anyway, And then
in New York for the second Home Alone, he decides
they're the Sticky Bandits now and he does double sided

(20:18):
tape around his hand and as they go past the
donation tints, he sticks his hand in and comes out
with all the coens and so he decides their name
is now the Sticky Band.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Okay, okay, So this was brought up because we've been
covering the thirsty thieves in Perth. I don't know if
you saw these guys. See apparently twenty seven million people
around us, around the world, around the eyes of the
world have turned to Perth. And so we were just
taking a look at this security footage from behind a

(20:51):
bar like in some outback pub, like an hour north
of Perth. What's let's go to produce a Chelsea. What's
the name of this township up there?

Speaker 4 (21:00):
It's Lanceloon, Lanceloon, I just want to say Lancelot.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
Well, it's Lancelot and so Lancelo and they had the
premiership flags. Obviously the local Lanceloon teams won the cup.
The what's the Lancelo and footy team called up there? Chelsea?

Speaker 4 (21:17):
I would have no idea what animal starts with.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
L the Lions, the Lanceloon Lions, all the Lanceloon.

Speaker 4 (21:27):
There.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
That's a funny name. The Lancelo and Lemurs have won
the premiership and so a few blokes depart in the
middle of the day which turned into night, just got
on it progressively through the day. They started stealing the
beer mats and then they ended up stealing the premiership
flag and then they did a run up. Anyway, so
you won't be surprised to learn over in w A.

(21:51):
This is big enough news that Perth TV has picked
up on it. So this is nine News Perth. This
is part of the report from last night. I think
they're talking with the owner of.

Speaker 9 (21:59):
The up the Lanceloin pub left nine bar mats short.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Jade, my office girl, she put together a little bit
of a real and posted it just a pretty much
name of shame and try and get them back. That's
gone viral.

Speaker 9 (22:12):
The video posted on the tabin social media has now
had more than ten million views.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
This is so Australian that to try and name in
shame they put the video up and these guys are
being hailed as legerd for stealing.

Speaker 4 (22:29):
But not only that they put out the reel, but
at the bottom they were like, bring the bar mats
back and we'll give you a pint, So they weren't
really in that much trouble.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
We are shaming you and if you've got enough front
to turn up and have your beer of shame, we
will put the bill on it. You better believe we're
going to drink a beer in shame. Absolutely every beer
ultimately ends up being a beer of shame. It's pretty
huge for us and our Instagram followers. Its tripled.

Speaker 4 (23:00):
I want to go all of a sudden, well, this
just in.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
The lancelom Lemurs are changing their name to the Beer
Bandits and the Thirsty Thieves will be their mascots. This
has put Lancelon on the mak. Okay, that's the best
bad news story that we'll have today, unless Darsie comes
up with something else in the next half an Hour'll
catch up with you, Dan, Mate, God.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
And Gabby Versus The World.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
Stranded on Honeymoon Island began at the start of the week.
We had one of the stars on after she nearly
drowned in the first five minutes of the show, and
we knew we were I don't know, peaking early, or
we're in for something special.

Speaker 4 (23:36):
Yeah, well we thought so. But it turns out that
other people didn't think it was quite as good as
we did, because the following or the viewership definitely fell
off for the second episode. So episode number one was
on Monday Night and there was over five hundred thousand
people that watch that, and then episode two was Tuesday
night and it went down by a couple of hundred thousand.

(23:59):
So that's a really bad indication of how it's going
to go for the rest of the season, to the
point where Channel seven have decided to push it back
on Monday night. It's not going to be on at
seven thirty, It's going to be on at eight thirty,
which is really unfair. Like two episodes in, you can't
make that kind of call to push it to a
later time slide.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
Well, they'd have enough experience. Let's go to the ratings.
So this was Tuesday night numbers, was it?

Speaker 4 (24:25):
Yeah, Tuesday Night. I think it was three hundred thousand
viewers on Tuesday night across the country June twenty four.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
Okay, here we go. Where are they?

Speaker 2 (24:33):
There?

Speaker 1 (24:33):
They are? Yeah, they are, that's maybe ten or eleventh.

Speaker 4 (24:36):
Three hundred and seventy six, right.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
It's they use just woulds look where they are and
relative to the other shows because they use metro and
non metro numbers and all the stuff. It'll be confusing,
But look as far as being indicative of where they
landed on night too. If you're the thing that they've
invested all this time and primo money in, and you're beaten.
We didn't even know Master Chef was still on, and

(25:00):
they were beaten by Master Chef and Honeymoon.

Speaker 4 (25:05):
Sorry, Home and Away is up there, and honey and
Stranded on Honeymoon Island literally goes off the back of
Home and Away, So you'd think that they would kind
of keep those numbers.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
No, No, it's okay, yep. That answers the question why.

Speaker 4 (25:20):
Well, yeah, and the other controversy has come out. We
were talking about this earlier in the week that the
camper guy Tom Brown, who's on Stranded on Honeymoon Island,
we were checking out his Instagram and since filming he
has met a woman who was on Survivor, Australian Survivor.
They have had twins and gotten married, So in the

(25:41):
time that it's taken for them to film and actually
put it on TV, he's lived a life.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
All that said, he's he's found love, got married and
had babies in a pretty tight time frame.

Speaker 4 (25:52):
Oh yeah, it's very it's like within a year that
that's happened. It looks like they got pregnant and had
the babies and then tied the knot soon after that.
But it's all hit the national media now that that's happened.
And normally these reality stars have to keep their private
life off social media until airing has completed, and normally

(26:14):
their social media is actually controlled by the network. But
I think because they took so long to put this
to air, like it was meant to be put on
TV six months ago at the start of the year,
and they pushed it back by six months. You can
only hold onto people's instagrams for so long and expect
them not to post their life on their own personal
social media for so long, and so they've just gone,
oh whatever, I do what you want on your socials

(26:37):
and everyone's like, well, we know the result of most
of these stories because of their social media, So why
would we watch.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Yeah, and as humans, we love a surprise, but if
we can ruin it for ourselves.

Speaker 4 (26:49):
We will and we have.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
We're looking forward to Monday night. Season three of Parental
Guidance kicks off, and gee, I watched that show because
you know, I learned things and I try to apply
them and there's another part of me as a parent
that goes this is terrifying, terrifying, and I wonder how
Ali Lange and the host goes with us with it.
We're lucky to have her joining us. Now, Ali, good morning?

Speaker 5 (27:15):
Did I Gooday? Guys, I'm a little bit like you.
I just watched it and going, man, I am screwing
these kids of mine. You know they have me on
the show is I can make every other parent feel
better that they're doing as a little You know, no
matter how bad it gets, you doing a better job
than Ali. I swear this is the third season included

(27:41):
for that take you to dawn on me. It's like, oh,
I finally get why I'm here.

Speaker 4 (27:45):
You're the control, You're all of us. But being the
third season, now, like, have you actually learned things off
the show that you've gone home and tried to implement?
And I very much highlight the word tried.

Speaker 5 (27:58):
My husband always says that I am an amazing parent.
For the month after I do this show, you I
go back to my old trusted ways. But no, you learn,
you learn a lot. I think I particularly when I

(28:18):
did the first season, my kids were pretty little and
so and we hadn't even really thought about how we parent,
so they just kind of we at least had that
conversation in the house as to sort of, you know,
how we parents and all and and this season it's
entirely different because obviously we've talked about smacking, do you smack,
don't you smack? And once you've done all that, you've

(28:39):
done it. So this time we've broken it down into
four topics. It's screen time, peer pressure, body image, and
mental health, which are kind of just the really big
ones that all parents are facing, kind of regardless of
the age of the kids. So it's a bit different
this time around. But I've learned the most from this one.

(29:00):
This one's been the biggest eye opener.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
I think this is the one for us that's going
to perhaps be the most valuable but not maybe definitely
the most confronting. But the reality is we bury our
head in the sand and we can't help. So we
need to get on the journey with our kids. Have
you had a moment in this season where you've perhaps
felt overwhelmed. It's all good and well to be reporting
on it, but we just instinctively then go, hang on

(29:24):
a second, how does this apply to our kids.

Speaker 5 (29:28):
There's there's been some really big moments like that, because
there's there's there's been a lot that happens in that room.
There are some big discussions. There are some big discussions
around consent, which that for me in that room was
an eye opener just hearing how some of the parents
were talking. We're like, holy hell, we got a long
way to go. Wow, you know, and and then some

(29:50):
of the stuff we were doing only screen time, because
I feel like our room's kind of divided. You've got
we've actually got the one set of parents who are
called protech and you know, actually the kids actually make
money from what they do online at all. They're sort
of almost one extreme. And then you've got quite a
few parents in there who are so anti tech, and

(30:10):
you realize that's a big problem too, because our kids
are going to access it and be on it, and
if we don't know what's going on with it, So
there are there are flaws in sort of both really,
and I know that I kind of lean anti tech
and sort of go don't we kind of get it
and I don't like it. I find it overwhelming. This
just made me realize, like, holy crap, and I need

(30:30):
to get across this and anything my kids are talking about.
I need to know it. I need to be able
to navigate it because there's some there's some there's some
pretty eye opening stuff around like chatbot friends and AI.
That for me was and that's in episode one. So
that's that's our that's our first show. That's part of
it where you know how we kind of like we're

(30:53):
just behind the eight ball with social media and like
our kids got on it and we realized, oh, this
is this is pretty damaging in this way, in this way,
this is go like, this is kind of the next thing.
So we cross it. Yeah, we really do. It was
I mean, terrifying in some ways, but then it's like, Okay,
now I know about it.

Speaker 4 (31:10):
Yeah, correct knowledge is power, right, Yeah, and I get
the parents everything.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
Yeah, there'll be there'll be parents listening. Now they go, oh,
that's it's too much to cope with. But overcome that
challenge yourself, do the hard thing, watch that first little bit,
and then all of a sudden you're in the game.

Speaker 4 (31:26):
I'm where you were for first. You're too hard.

Speaker 5 (31:28):
It's not too hard, like it's not too like we're
dealing with kids and needs of challenges with kids, and
we've got psychologists who work with it. So it's not like, oh,
I can't watch this because this is going to be
way too heavy, Telly Like, there's some fabulous light moments
and all in it too, but the conversations are just
kind of you know, we say that they're the ones
we actually have to have.

Speaker 4 (31:48):
I'm where you were for first season Ali, where I've
got a really young child and I'm still figuring out
what parenting style i have. So I'm like really intrigued
by the names as protech, active, upfront authority. What is
the hard way parentee?

Speaker 5 (32:02):
Oh my gosh, I loved these guys. It is literally,
if there is an easy way to do something, we
don't do that. We go the hard. Like every meal
is cooked from scratch. The kids are involved in in, in,
in everything. It is just to everything you apply in life,
do it the hard way.

Speaker 4 (32:20):
No, I'm barely surviving trying to do it the easy way, I.

Speaker 5 (32:25):
Know, and it just instead And I'm looking at me,
so you don't you don't like take away?

Speaker 4 (32:31):
No, I know that's not the parenting style.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
I'll be taking no, but.

Speaker 5 (32:39):
You learn so But I sat there going I wish
I could be like them, and and then you just go,
nah's but their kids. But you see the benefit. You
see the benefit of the effort they put in. You see,
you see you see the reward. I mean, and looking
all the kids are beautiful. But so yeah, you'll look

(33:00):
at it and you'll aspire to be like that. But
I can promise you.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
Halfway there and we've done better than we otherwise would
and that's the goal. This is a fantastic show. Season
three Parental Guidance Monday Night, seven thirty on nine and
then of course we can get it on demand on nine. Now.
Congratulations gold Logi. We're going to put our vote for you.
You're doing the most amazing important work on the TV
and you always, you know, you look like you're having fun.

(33:27):
So well done. That's a really big deal.

Speaker 5 (33:29):
Oh look, you know I am having fun and that's
the key to it, right, You're have a sense of
humor in this job. Yeah, and it is fun. So
I appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
Fantastic the great Alley Langdon. We'll talk soon. See on
the TV Monday Night.

Speaker 5 (33:42):
Thanks guys, Rud and Gabby.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
Versus the World in the UK, The polar Opposite of
what we're experiencing with our feels like minus eight to start.
They have a heat wave, remembering, of course a heat.

Speaker 4 (33:55):
Wave for them is very different to a heat wave
for us.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
Yes, so they're got used to hot temperature. Here's the quote,
the UK is in the midst of a heat wave,
regularly experiencing thirty degrees celsi as temperatures.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
I shouldn't laugh because that can actually be deathly for them.
But rast we're like, that's just like spring. I look
to Darwin with.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
Their thirty one top the Sarfner and that looks beautiful
up there, doesn't it. Anyway, So footage of the cost
COEs over there is blowing up on social media, but
you can get the bulk waters and so people are
going bananas over there.

Speaker 4 (34:30):
Oh they're getting like huge, it's like crates of water.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
Yes, as are they.

Speaker 4 (34:36):
That's what my husband brought me to put in my
car because I'm constantly buying water out.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
Yeah, but that's to say hydrated. I mean the panic
over there with the temperature soaring to twenty eight degrees
twenty nine.

Speaker 4 (34:51):
They're not equipped to deal with twenty eight and thirty.
It doesn't houses are not built for the heat. They're
built for the cold, so they don't have proper air
con and ventilation of that kind of thing, so they
do struggle a lot.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
Is there something? Is there something when you're not used
to it that you're more likely to keel over as
a result of a thirty degree temperature though? Or is
the body okay?

Speaker 8 (35:14):
Well?

Speaker 4 (35:14):
People do die in these heat waves in the UK
and Europe. It does happen. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
Produce a Chelsea welcome back. Thank you. You have a
cool game for us that we can all play wherever
you are if you're in a relationship, and it's called
Chelsea's Wedding Last Name Game. How does this work?

Speaker 9 (35:44):
So the game is you play rock paper scissors and
the winner is the winner of the last name that
you the wedding couple takes home.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
Right, So you can do it at the wedding. You
can do it now, which saves you're doing it at
the wedding now.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
We been doing it at the wedding's high stakes. It's far better.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
It's stakes that is. There needs to be a willingness. Gaby,
you've kept elgood.

Speaker 4 (36:09):
I have kept my last name, and you know I
would have loved Okay. When I first saw this, I
was like, I love this. This would have been great.
I would have definitely done this. And then I thought
more about it and I was like, no, because if
I lost, I would have refused to change my names.
I would have loved it if I.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
Won, right, Yeah, I would have loved this. So my
husband became an elder. I get that back and go
either way. Mate.

Speaker 4 (36:31):
We did have a robust conversation about who got their
last name for the kids, and maybe this could have
solved that because we were still arguing, not arguing. We're
still having a conversation about it even after Olivia was
born as to which last name she would get, and
the decision we came to, and I think rock paper
Scissors would have been a far better idea because the

(36:52):
decision we came to was if we had a girl,
it would be Neb's last name, and if we had
a boy, it would be my last name because there's
no boy Elgoods in our family, so that last name
may potentially die out very quickly.

Speaker 1 (37:05):
Some thinking there.

Speaker 4 (37:06):
And so then we had a girl and I was
really devastated that she wouldn't have my last name, and
I regretted that conversation.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
I don't think this game is a good idea unless
either of you, you know, don't care.

Speaker 4 (37:18):
You both can't care, you both both have to be
really blase and go don't care. We'll just pick one.
Let's go.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
Chelsea is one of four girls in your family? Or
with his last name Boothman, as there've been in a
discussion about whether or not there'll be a name flip,
let's just apply it to you and Jared. What's his
last name?

Speaker 4 (37:37):
Thatcher?

Speaker 1 (37:37):
Thatcher? Yeah, that's a fantastic.

Speaker 9 (37:40):
Yeah, and my middle name is Margaretta.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
Do that, Chelsea Margaret Thatcher.

Speaker 4 (37:49):
Yeah, that's so bad.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
You're the wrong personal terrible. Yeah, you've got a lot
to gain by changing. Yeah, I mean, and I know
your dad listens. We love the last name Boothman.

Speaker 4 (38:00):
It's a fantastic, but it's not Margaret Brouthman isn't a
famous politician.

Speaker 10 (38:04):
No, no, And he didn't know this combination of things
was going to happen all these years down the track,
So you would change to margaritecture? Yes, yes, okay, all right,
so see people, you guys care, But clearly this couple,
this isn't just a hypothetical. This is making news today
because a couple at the wedding in front of all
the guests is gone.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
It is on rock paper scissors. We're about to decide
on missus.

Speaker 4 (38:24):
Rock or rock papers.

Speaker 9 (38:26):
They're calling it row Chambeau.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
That's funny, though, use let's go all right, let's let's
see how this couple goes here in front of all
the guests. I assume that it doesn't mean that much
to either of them to do it in such trivial way.
I don't know if one of the guests has got
this voice or this has happened in the UK, but

(38:49):
I like it's a great point, mate. It's rock paper Rochambeau.
Here we go, one, two, three, al right, round one
and he's gone.

Speaker 4 (39:01):
The sus must be must be doing best of three.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
It's always roe sham bo best of three. That's what
it means. It means all right, it's old mate, he's
a peer, and no one cares if you've got a
normal last name. There's nothing to be gained or lost
between the pierces and the hunters.

Speaker 4 (39:22):
Except.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
It's tight. He went for a rock, she went for
the paper. This is It comes down to this, alright,
around three, she's done and he becomes a hunter. And
he went for the paper, she went for the scissors.
And he doesn't care. He's just married the love of
his life.

Speaker 9 (39:47):
You have to keep playing it so we can see
his reaction.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
Okay, hat, he's disappointed. He's so disappointed, he's he doesn't care.

Speaker 4 (40:01):
He does, He absolutely cares. And do you know what,
I really wish they'd done pan the camera around to
see his family, because I bet you his parents care.
My my nana in law, my nanner in law. We
made a pack that we would never tell her that
I didn't change my name because she would be so upset.
And so she sends me mail and I am missus Andrews.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
Wants trying to like recruit for the Andrews team.

Speaker 4 (40:27):
What does It's so old school that for me not
changing my name would be such a thing for her
that I'm like you, only you know you're older. You
don't need that argument in your life.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
As of twenty twenty three, in Australia, seventy three percent
of women still change their name, so it's still the norm.
But I'd like to see more of this. I want
to see more of this I'm more weddings if we
are rock paper scissoring.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
God and Gabby versus the world.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
Beautiful start to the end of the week, and made
even better by the news that we are one step
closer to returning to the NBL. I'm assuming part of that.

Speaker 4 (41:05):
Oh absolutely, it's a good assumption.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
But it makes sense today, Darcy, what's the big news.

Speaker 6 (41:09):
So the NBL is having a blitz at the Aas
Arena in late August. They'll have across five days, all
ten teams playing twice, I believe.

Speaker 4 (41:19):
Yeah, two games per day for five days.

Speaker 6 (41:22):
Yeah, so very exciting. It's the first time in a while.
I don't know how long since that's happened, but Andrew
bart says he's very excited himself.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
All Right, Wednesday, August twenty seven at the Wildcats. So
that's going to produce a Chelsea here. We know that
she's the West Coast Eagle. You guys over there, you're
right into the Wildcats because you win a lot of championships, right.

Speaker 9 (41:42):
Yeah, Like there's a lot of home games in Perth
at rac Arena.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
All right, Well, you're making the big track.

Speaker 4 (41:48):
Across the debut debut game, and.

Speaker 1 (41:50):
So you're against the Tigers. They call themselves Melbourne United
now but they'll always be the Tigers to me. The
thirty six is from Adelaide and the Illawarrahawks. It's a
great thing about the NBL. You've got a couple of
provincial size, yes, cities that have teams in the comp
and illawar I've always been a great team. And so
that's the double header on the Wednesday. Then the Bullets,

(42:13):
the famous Brisbane Bullets against the Sydney Kings.

Speaker 4 (42:16):
Sidney Kings were my team after the.

Speaker 1 (42:18):
Cannons were that. Yes, well they were a glamour team
and they still are with the same colors as the
Los Angeles Lakers. And of course the young fellow from
Can has been playing for them for the last a
little while, Alex Towey. He'll be picked up in the
NBA draft today. Sat a couple of great seasons with

(42:39):
Brian gorsh in there, who was the Australian coach, and
he's got him ready for the biggest of big league.
So we'll give you news about that across the day.
And then on that Thursday, August twenty eighth, Can mckenn's
got kicked out of the comp for a hot minute,
as so many of us have. Like us, they were
then turned up again for a couple of seasons, and

(42:59):
then they got back I wonder if that was a
round COVID. They got let back in. And then the newcomers,
the famous Tasmanian jack jumpers. That's going to be cool.

Speaker 4 (43:09):
What's that name from jack jumpers?

Speaker 1 (43:12):
Is it like the jack jumper? Is it a bug?

Speaker 4 (43:15):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (43:16):
I don't know what's a jack jumper? Is it? Is
it a marsupial?

Speaker 6 (43:19):
I'm going to say it's a bug jack jumper.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
It's something down there. Anyway, they're a great team. And
then the old Magic, the now Southeast Melbourne Phoenix. The
kiweeds are coming over. The Breakers will play, and then
it's Hawks and Wildcats again. What is it an It's
an ant? Is it a jack jumper? Not particularly leaf,
but they're very strong. Ants can relative to their size.

Speaker 4 (43:41):
Yeah, can hold like eighty time said body weight or something.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
So that's going to go on for a bit, and Gabbie,
I wonder, this is the final chance for you to
have a redo in life after As a little girl,
all you wanted to do, all you wanted to do
growing up was to dance at halftime.

Speaker 4 (43:58):
I did.

Speaker 1 (43:59):
So.

Speaker 4 (44:00):
My family a huge basketball family. So herb mcgeachen played
for the Cannons for fourteen years and his son's played
basketball with my sisters and the road Runners and yeah,
and one of his sons coached, and it was a
whole thing. So massive basketball family, and we'd go to
every Cannons game. But I was really young and into dancing.
I was a black sheep of my family. And we'd

(44:22):
go and I'd be sitting there and I was so young.
We'd go in the torrago and I'd be with my
dad and the halftime performers would dance, and afterwards he'd
look at me and go, what do you rate them?
And I'd give him a school out of ten, I'm
like seven, giving him a like nine point five. But
it was always the one dance school in Cambra. It

(44:42):
was Legs Dance School that always had the honor of
doing the halftime performance. But I was at the Bung
Indoor Dance School, so I never got that chance, and
I was so envious because I just wanted to be
out there.

Speaker 1 (44:55):
Did the Bung Indoor Dance School ever get the call up?
When the Green Machine were playing its seafe. No, you
never right, that would have been nice of them.

Speaker 4 (45:03):
Yeah, we never can for anything. So I don't know
if that was a thing because of our skill or
just our location could have been either. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
Well, we can't go back, all right, So I'm hearing
you want more time. So you're saying, if the Cannons
are let back into the camp, if the okay, yep, right,
you will dance at half time?

Speaker 4 (45:21):
Sure, if that is something that gets the Cannons.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
Over the line, Oh this is this is Bolsted the
bid all of a sudden, hasn't it.

Speaker 4 (45:30):
I'm not doing it to the Blitts. I can tell
you that right now. But if the Cannons get back, yes, right,
if not even game for the Blitz, No, it has
to be the Cannons.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
I hear what you're saying that it can only be
the Lifelong Dream has made halftime performance for the Cannons. Okay,
I wish I could just confirm this right now. You can't,
but it's definitely a work in progress. The NBL turns
its attention back to.

Speaker 4 (45:51):
Bars, like, well, if Gabby's going to dance, we got.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
It to we go to this. I wasn't even trying
to make this happen, but now got to do it.
I'm going to make a whole lot more effort that
I have there. The can bearn who's been scammed is Gabby,
and this is a concern for all of us. However,
you reckon we all would have formed for the same thing,
which I reckon alarming.

Speaker 4 (46:11):
Well, I don't know if everyone would have, but you
would have definitely.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
Well, I think we all would have.

Speaker 4 (46:19):
So it's my wedding anniversary on Sunday, and I had
bought something for my husband because it's a leather theme
for the third anniversary.

Speaker 1 (46:28):
So I bought him.

Speaker 4 (46:30):
I don't even so I had. You know, every wedding
anniversary has a thing that you're meant to buy a
gift around go on. So third wedding is the traditional
is leather, but the modern is crystal or glass. So
he's got it easy. He can just get me some
scrotsky jewelry so.

Speaker 1 (46:50):
Easy you can't believe it a gift.

Speaker 4 (46:56):
So I had to get creative and trying to figure
out what I could get him that was leather all right. Anyway,
I bought the gift, but I knew it wasn't going
to get here in time. And I saw something else
that popped up on my Instagram feed that was also
in leather, and I was like, all right, I'll quickly
get that because it's same day delivery and at least
i'll have something to give him on Sunday until the

(47:16):
real gift comes.

Speaker 5 (47:18):
Goodness.

Speaker 4 (47:20):
So I bought it, and I'm pretty sure they've taken
my money and run. I don't think I'm getting this
gift because they said same day delivery. I have had
no confirmation that it's been sent or I've got a
confirmation of purchase. That's it. And then radio silence. So
what it was is this ad came up on my
feed of this cool little leather wallet. It's like just

(47:44):
for your cards for nothing else. That's really slim line,
but it has a cutout in it in the shape
of Batman's mask, so when you slide your license into it,
your face is Batman's.

Speaker 1 (47:58):
This is the greatest gift.

Speaker 4 (48:00):
Herul is thing, right, and so I'm like, he'll love this.
At the same day of delivery, I'll have it. Can
he can get it on Sunday and then the real
gift can come next week. Perfect so I bought it,
and I could do it with Apple pay, which I
feel like is a bit of a safeguard because they
don't get your details then because it's through the third party.
So I was like, all right, we're good, we're safe.
They're not stealing my card and hacking my bank account.

(48:22):
We're all good. So I did it. But I'm pretty
sure they've just taken that. It was eighty dollars.

Speaker 1 (48:27):
More than Batman exactly.

Speaker 4 (48:29):
I'm pretty sure they've just taken that eighty dollars and
they're like thank you and moving on.

Speaker 1 (48:34):
And I think I'm getting it, but Apple Pay, I'll
get it back. Oh it's like PayPal, like they'll give
you the money back and then they'll chase them up,
not neither. You'll get this. This will be all right,
don't talk down Batman Leather Wallets.

Speaker 4 (48:47):
It's been four days and I've heard nothing. So I'll
report back after our holiday and let you know if
Batman Wallet came or not.

Speaker 1 (48:53):
Is every license in the world, does it position the
person's frie That's.

Speaker 4 (48:58):
Another thing I don't know. And then I've looked at
the reviews and they're like, oh, it's not great quality.
I'm like eighty bucks a better be good quality.

Speaker 1 (49:06):
You don't respond to a review by going, well, you'd
better be wrong.

Speaker 3 (49:09):
Not in Addy versus the world.

Speaker 1 (49:11):
And this is the moment Darcy's last news chat with
US seventy five shows. Darcy, congratulations seventy five. Today is
your seventy fifth show.

Speaker 4 (49:24):
And only three that you were in isolation for.

Speaker 1 (49:27):
Oh well, well, well remember the time Darcy started the
shift and he sounded sick and I freaked out and
we had to build another studio very quickly, and then
you were stuck there for a week. What a memory
that was. What are the other big memories from the
last seventy five shows with us?

Speaker 6 (49:41):
I don't even know where to pinpoint it. I've just
had so much fun since the start of this show,
since you guys started in feb I believe we were
talking about before, but it's just, yeah, the most fun
I've definitely had at Amplify. And thank you so much
to both of you for giving me this opportunity, because
it's just been awesome. Every morning, it's much easy waking up.

Speaker 1 (50:02):
Well, it's very kind to say, Spoker, and we feel
very privileged to have had you. I remember Kraichi twenty
three years ago I started my commercial radio. This sounds
more dramatic with this music, but I started my commercial
radio career and we had a fantastic newsman of the
Central West out there in Clint Brannigan, and I didn't

(50:23):
know a different world. I thought that breakfast radio always
had a news person integrated into their show.

Speaker 4 (50:30):
Not the case.

Speaker 1 (50:31):
Well, then I got the call up to Townsville and
I learned real fast, No, no, you don't get that, and.

Speaker 4 (50:37):
Not many places do anymore, at least no.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
And I've been insistent ever since, from going to Townsville
and they're ninety six a m. In Perth to always
have someone from the newsroom integrated into the program. And
so we were very privileged because it is a privilege,
certainly not a rite, when we came here to have
you as part of the SHOWMATEE so seventy five. Congratulations,
you're off to to set up a new home and

(51:01):
life in Mexico. I know you think it's only for
six months, but I want to live. I want to
live vicariously through an adventure that takes you right around
the world. So I've got someone to visit when I
go on these you know, these international holidays.

Speaker 6 (51:12):
Yeah, we can go to the theme parks. If there
is any in Mexico.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
Any in Mexico, Darcy's gonna find out. I'll do my research,
investigative reporting. Why do I feel like we can go
on spring break? Spring bring gave Jerusys gain and so
I think I want I want us to focus on
a story that you that stays with you. There's your

(51:39):
last story that we cover together, and so every time,
wherever you are in the world, I want you to
think about tomatoes. Because there is a tomato shortage that's
about to hit camera and I think it's important that
we cover it.

Speaker 6 (51:53):
It's absolutely devastating. So there's wild weather in Queensland and
South Australian Victoria have a new tomato vine rush, which
means there's a shortage and prices are set to go up.

Speaker 4 (52:04):
What's the virus? Because I'd be happy to eat.

Speaker 1 (52:07):
It right, probably even just.

Speaker 4 (52:10):
Looks a bit weird, let's still eat it.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
I'm sorry when planning the show, I didn't really think
about the significance of the last news story that we
would do together. No, I'm happy with this, but anytime
we need to get to the supermarket to pay extra
for something.

Speaker 4 (52:23):
It's a big story.

Speaker 1 (52:24):
Well we're going to cover it and ed you.

Speaker 4 (52:27):
Will see tomatoes everywhere you go in your travel. So
this is a great last memory because every time you
go to a Mexican supermarket and there's a tomato, you'll
be like, no, I'll.

Speaker 6 (52:36):
Just send the tomato photos to the Roden Gappy Instagram.

Speaker 1 (52:40):
Page every week.

Speaker 4 (52:43):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (52:43):
What a group chat we're going to have. We might
share screenshots of the group chat with everybody. Yes, thank you, mate, congratulations,
well done, good luck, be very safe while you're over
on the other side of the planet, and we will
all live vicariously through you when we look forward to
chatting to you on your adventures on the show.

Speaker 6 (52:59):
That's all, and thank you to the both of you
as well.

Speaker 1 (53:01):
That is our pleasure. You're really honest around the mum fails,
and to be honest, your strike rate's very successful. I
think we're on the up to mumfail three so far.

Speaker 4 (53:14):
For twent Sure there's been more, but they haven't been
entertaining fails, so I haven't bothered to share them.

Speaker 1 (53:20):
Hashtag mum fail three entertaining ones? Is this the first
Dad failed from your husband? This year, the first.

Speaker 4 (53:29):
One that he would probably not be mad at me
for telling, like you do, parent fails every day, and
it would get very boring to talk about it in
those kind of details, So only bring the ones that
are half entertaining. But the dad foil that happened yesterday.
I bought new shoes for our daughter. There was a
big end of financial year sale and she was growing

(53:49):
out of her current shoes and the ones she has
at the moment, they're great. They're really flexy, but they're.

Speaker 1 (53:55):
Not very warm.

Speaker 4 (53:56):
So I wanted to get similar shoes that were warmer
the winter, obviously, so I got these ones online. They
were really cool. They were like pink sneakers with like
a velcrow little strap so she can try to put
them on herself. She's in a she's starting the adult
myself kind of face, like yesterday. I had to hold
her hands while she put the shoe on the ground

(54:17):
and then tried to slip her foot into it while
standing so she puts her shooes on. Took twenty minutes,
but we kind of got there the.

Speaker 1 (54:23):
Part where you have to let them do things, oh
and gain their independence and times longer. Anyway, it's fun stuff.

Speaker 4 (54:33):
It really is. You gotta let them do it anyway.
So we got these new shoes in the mail. I
got really excited about it. I unpackaged them and they
looked great, and my husband got home and I was
showing him. And when I was showing him these cool
little pink sneakers, Olivia saw them and she loves pink.
I think I've really rummed off on it when it
comes to that, and she was like, yeah, I want

(54:54):
to put them on, and so we wanted to make
sure they fit and they've grabbed them and luckily she
was not in there i'll do it myself moment. So
she was allowing him to try to put them on
her and he's trying to jam her foot in there,
and she's like this is this is not this doesn't
feel good, and he's like I'll be fine once everyone.
And she's like squirming and he's like, oh, you know,
she's just getting anty. It's fine. He's like trying, and

(55:17):
it was going on for a minute until she finally
cracked it and was like absolutely not, I am not
wearing these shoes. Get him out of my sight. Dad,
and I pick up the shoe and I'm like the
paper is still in the tona go on. She's trying
to shove these shoes on and I were going anywhere,
and he thought it was just because she's got a

(55:38):
bit of a high foot, like there's really got to
get him in there otherwise, like you gotta get the
heel up and literally.

Speaker 1 (55:47):
A physical barrier stopping them going on. But on behalf
of Dad's yeah, we do that versus the world. So
I have had one eye on a story that Channel
nine have been covering. They parked one of their journalists
next to a roundabout and not in camera. No, And

(56:07):
that's why I bring it up because during the break
just then I was able to get to the bottom
of it. Anyone who has a crack at our world's
largest roundabout with the traffic lights that everyone goes, it's
the worst round about in Australia, Well, well, well we
do not have the patch on the roundabout that has
been making news today. This will go viral around the world.

(56:29):
I'm ashamed to say Channel nine have been covering it.
And if you haven't seen it yet this morning, instead
of a circle in the middle, it's a diamond and
it makes no sense. We'll think about that so it's
fine if on the sides of the diamond that have
the less angular points, but when you go to get

(56:50):
around the pointy ends of the diamonds, you're doing a
hard turn, and not everyone's car has a turning circle
that allows you to do that, people having to stop
and revert to.

Speaker 4 (57:00):
A three point turn around the roundabout.

Speaker 1 (57:02):
Correct. Alright, this is Carl's take on it this morning.

Speaker 2 (57:05):
Have a look at this bang around about in one
of the many brilliant solutions to traffic congestion on our roads.

Speaker 1 (57:14):
Check it out. Check it out.

Speaker 2 (57:19):
The Pool City Council has taken chaos to a whole
new level. And for more I'm joined by Liverpool City
councilor Peter Restevski.

Speaker 1 (57:25):
Okay, ten points to Liverpool City Council. They've obviously embarrassed themselves.
This is a disaster. The last thing anyone in their
right mind does is show up to this interview. That
said anyone in their right mind would have never built
a diamond shaped roundabout. So he's shown up in camera.
What's he doing in camera?

Speaker 4 (57:46):
Don't give us a bad name. We've got the good
roundabout camera.

Speaker 1 (57:50):
He's from Liverpool though, he's just here for some reason.

Speaker 2 (57:53):
Get him out in camera, get a pete. Nice to
see you this morning. Congratulations. Your council has built Australia's
worst round about.

Speaker 6 (58:04):
Yes, it's quite embarrassing and quite ironically, I'm in the
camber for the Australian Local Government Conference.

Speaker 1 (58:09):
What do you mean ironic? Mate, is here for a conference?
So the Australian Local Government Conference. You've brought shame to
your city and by virtue of just being here, all right, Well,
everyone's going to be absolutely taken a Micky out of
him at that conference in the capitol today.

Speaker 4 (58:24):
We have a roundabout almost like that in Bamendor.

Speaker 1 (58:27):
That's fine, that's new South Walest Mate, that's absolutely fine.
You do silly staff over there all day
