Speaker 1 (00:00):
They came bounding over.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
What's a procedure.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
This is Roden, Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Here we go. I'm a bit down to start the show, Hayden.
I'll turn that off so you can adjust that. Good
morning everyone, Hello Gabby.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Morning. I'm not as down as you are.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Ah, it was a distressing morning. Yeah, And you know
we all talk about ducking and weaving and dodging wildlife
to make it to work. When you are a shift worker,
a night driver, you know if you're with us at
this time, if you're at work now, you know what
we're talking about.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
I had to dodge a kangar at nine am the
other morning, so am. Yeah, it happens all through the day.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
At the moment, the kangaroos and I don't want to
get ahead, don't want the moles on myself, but the
ducking and weaving of the ruse, I feel like we.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
Stand a chance anyway.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Anyway, I've got the high beams on them on the
bart in this morning, and I see an oncoming truck
come over the horizon, so I flicked the high beams
off and then just I can't say, I can't repeat
what I shouted at volume, but just out of nowhere.
There he was. He wasn't scurrying, he wasn't making a
break for it, standing.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
Like an idiot in the middle of my lane was.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
A blocker wombat. And I just went, oh, you know
what I said, we know what you said. And he
went through my car like a hot knife through butter,
this poor little bastard, and so I it breaks my heart.
I feel so sad for him now. I don't know what.
I haven't had to talking with this yesterday. It's thirty
years since about to deal with panel beaters and getting
a coat and the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
It's an awful way to start.
Speaker 6 (01:46):
And they just do so much damage. Little wombat's like
I feel like kangaroos do less damage.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Like it's more.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
Visible, but it's not as hectic as it doesn't take
out the bottom of your car.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Hadn't you're a young guy, you ever had you crashed
into some wildlife yet? Or this hasn't had.
Speaker 7 (01:58):
Wildlife other people of other cars, other cars, that's a
different story.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Top of you're there, the police actually just start rolling
on this. We don't need any more calls from the AFP.
I've done, I've started enough trouble for them down there
this week. Okay, before you start telling us times you've
run people either when it happens. The danger with the
(02:24):
kangaroo is if you get them at the wrong point
of the bounce, it can be diabolical. It can be
deadly because they can come through the windshield. And so
there's no danger of that with a wombat. But strike
me Ray hitting a boulder. Yeah, And so I looked
in the so my cars an e V and so
where things would be normally in an engine where I
would know things. I don't know what's going on right,
(02:46):
but I know that there, and I'm surprised.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
You must have been a bee's.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Diaphragm away from the the the airbags going off, because
you hit it bees diaphragm, diph it's a unit of measurement.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Heard that it's very close.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
It's very close. It's very close. The airbags must have
been so close to going off and they didn't, thankfully.
So I've limped into work. But yeah, well I guess
you know. I'll have to get it toad later on.
But I looked underneath in the dark.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
I'll do a video later on if anyone's interested. And
everything in there has been pushed back.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
The swambat has just it's like a bloody but it's
bigger and as hard as a bowling ball at one
hundred kilometers an hour, and you better believe you want
it going under the car anyway. So I'm heartbroken for
this poor little fellow and via car, and perhaps more
so for my car. Yeah, I I was shaken up
about it. I was shaking anyway, So I just look,
(03:45):
there's nothing you can do other than maybe maybe if
I had a fraction more think time. But he was
still so the You know, I'm doing one hundred, So
say I was doing ninety, would I have had enough
time to swerve.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
I don't know that you want to do that.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
They say you got us, They say you got us day.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Straight swerving can be a lot worse.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yeah, And he hit like he could not have gone.
It's like you got to take measure out. And he
went right on this far from that side, and he
was he middled it like he was right in the
middle of the All the senses in the front.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Of the car do why he stopped wiped out.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Like he's just walking there. He just goes, yeah, you know,
good spot.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
You know he stopped because you could hear a car
but not an engine, and.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
It was a bit confused. He's like, what's that spaceship?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
The hell's going? Oh that's what it is, and yeah,
here we are, all right, So everyone take it easy
there on the roads. Hayden, I know that we're covering
the news today, but you know I've taken too much
time crying about that one bat thing and my car
being half written off? Could it be written off?
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Potentially?
Speaker 7 (04:45):
That is very low for a wombat.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
That's very like thirteen ten sixty. Have you ever had
your car written off after colliding with wildlife?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
My sister has. Yeah, yeah, with the kangaroo.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
It's just like if the damage costs more than the
car is worth.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
It's written off.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
I can't believe that she was.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
Driving a really crappy car. Yeah, it wasn't worth much,
so it was written off.
Speaker 7 (05:07):
Yeah, you're same with my mum a couple of years ago,
a couple of cars back. No, she got she hit
a kangaroo and the car was written off.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Yeah. Yeah, and it's and it's it's a gift in
ways no one gets hurt and the cars ensured. Yeah,
well that's that's not not necessarily bad news, but I no,
it's bad.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
It is bad news.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
I needed this like a hole in my head.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Rod and Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I've changed my attitude. I'm looking to gen Z to
lead the nation and the world, and I want to follow.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Should I sign up to this?
Speaker 6 (05:38):
You might want to, It's up to you, but it's
not something that I'll be signing up for because I
just I can't get my head around it. And it's
really shook me that gen Zetters are doing this. And
I would be really interested to know if Chelsea's on
board with this being a gen Zettter.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
I reckon she might be. I think there's big potential
that she'll be. This will be normal for her.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Good morning produced, Chelsea.
Speaker 8 (06:00):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Often when we present with astonishment the tales of Genz's,
your response is that's normal.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Yeah, and I think that might be the case.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
But we'll see you will be the human Barometera when it.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Comes to using our smartphones. Rod, being not in the
gen Z category, do you have rules around what is
a phone job and what's a laptop job or a
computer job? Like when I'm booking flights, for example, I
like to have a couple of tabs open, so I'm
normally on the laptop doing that.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah, it feels well, it is. It's a it's a
serious purchase, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
If it's a serious purchase, it's normally a computer job.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Na, gen z it Is are all about the phone.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
And there's a gen ZiT out there who is revealed
and she's probably not the only one. That she did
her tax on her iPhone on the myga website.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Right, it seems it seems a bit slap dash. I agree,
Producer Chelsea, have you or would you do your tax
return on your phone?
Speaker 8 (07:11):
No, I'm not a part of this. I am on
board with you guys. Yeah, big purchases anything that needs
a lot more brain power on the laptop. Yes, yeah,
I agree.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Sure it's psychologic.
Speaker 8 (07:24):
But my partner jared everything on his phone. He's like
doing an email, trying to write put his signature to
send back a PDF. I'm like, do it on the laptop.
He's trying to do it on his phone. I'm like no.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
But when we talk about being the future of the
nation in the world, those people are probably right.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
But it's so tiny.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Like my husband was doing his tax on the computer
yesterday and the boxes that you've got to fill in.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Next to the text. It's so tiny.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
I don't have the kind of eyesight for that anyway,
So Baby Jens the only ones that are actually capable
of doing it.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
You zoom.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Who's the question? In a scroll for the no JMZ.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I like the way you're thinking, I'm setting myself up
for a huge stuff up with my tax if I do.
Master Chefs still on it is?
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Did you know that?
Speaker 5 (08:18):
And that's the news.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
So it's not often that we get those sensational headlines
like we do from Maths or even Dancing with the
Stars lately, Like there's always controversy around reality TV shows,
not so much Master Chef, and.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
So we don't hear a lot about it.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
If you're not watching it, you don't know it exists. However,
the headline I saw today are you ready?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Master Chef?
Speaker 6 (08:39):
Australia viewers up in arms over contestant Laura's disgusting and
unhygienic act.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Laura, Laura, we were watching and you who you were
and what you did? This would be furious, a thing
that makes people mad.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
What happened was she was cooking some delicious looking Wagoo
steaks yum. But she was seen to blow on the
food and people are fuming.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Why did you blow on the food to cool it down?
I don't know her thought process when it comes to
cooling down. Why would that work? I borrowed my daughter's
food all the.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Time, one fork or spoonful at a time, and not
at you've cooked up a plate full of wag u steaks.
You're not.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
I mean, this is superman powers that she thinks.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
She has here or the Iceman.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Correct anytime you go, oh, this would work if you're
a Superman or the Iceman. A you wasted your time
and be You've outraged.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Nation versus the world.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
It's an Aussie in a new US reality TV show.
I love that, but I'm also nervous about it because
you are representing the nation, like going to the Olympics,
except far less important but arguably higher profile.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Some would say, let's.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
See how this national ambassador is shaping up and what
insanity they're going to be involved in in front of
the eyes of America and subsequently the world in the
next five minutes. In the meantime, Hayen, you haven't heard
about this what will happen if you accidentally land in Austria.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
There's no way someone's taking the time into the day
to book a trip to Australia and they've gone got it,
We're in it, and then they've landed in Austria.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
It happens.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I'm about to put something on the screen. Okay, okay,
tell me what you're looking at.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
No way, there's merchandise. This is I want that copy, Mike. Basically,
it's just that's awesome.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
This happens so often that people rock up in Austria
and then they go to the desk and they're like,
so I've booked this or that and they're.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Like, no, you haven't, you're not in Australia.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
And they've actually got a specific desk in this Austrian
airport in Salzburg that is for people who have accidentally
flown there.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Like it's a thing, you're joke.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
So now they have merched that they've decided to start
because it is so common and it looks like a
kangaroo on the road sign, like one of our yellow
signs with the roof, but it says no kangaroos in Austria.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Gor gee, And even looking at it at a glance
and going, that's not right because it looks like Australia
looks like it's just so close.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
I want this so bad?
Speaker 6 (11:16):
Do you reckon if I get in touch and get
some of this merch because I really want it.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Categorically, we could probably do some bootleg versions. I mean,
I don't know how tight the Austrian Yeah, you know,
we're gonna find out. This is the second time we've
had a run in with the Law and the show.
We've been going thirty five minutes. Who is representing the
(11:40):
greatest nation on Earth in a new US reality TV show?
It's a huge.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
Responsibility, massive responsibility, and it is a guy who's already
been on a number of reality TV shows on Netflix.
So if you've seen something like Too Hot to Handle.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
No one has seen that.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
I've seen it.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
You've seen that, Chelsea, You've seen it, right produced Chelsea
Too Hot to Handle?
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Yeah, I've watched every season. Who hasn't seen it?
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Is that an Australian really.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Also this?
Speaker 5 (12:09):
He's an Aussie who does the American reality He was.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
Very popular in his season of Too Hot Handle. He
ended up winning it.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Did he win it?
Speaker 6 (12:19):
With the girl and they he proposed to her with
a lolly ring.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
It was really silly.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
So what's the idea he's too hot?
Speaker 6 (12:26):
No, so they go into a house. It's kind of
like Love Island, right where they get into a house
and they want to partner off, but then they get
told that they're not allowed.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
To touch each other at all.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
Oh okay, and if they do, they get fined and
the winnings at the end are diminished by how many times.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
The rules are broken. So break, yeah, a rule, break exactly.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
So if you win at the end, you could be
getting twenty bucks depending on how everyone goes.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Did he win because he wasn't too hot and no
one wanted to touch him? No?
Speaker 4 (12:57):
He ended up No.
Speaker 8 (12:58):
So the concept of the show is the they need
to make real connections with without the physical side.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
Of guests, and he supposedly did that. They're definitely not
together anymore.
Speaker 8 (13:09):
She's got kids now.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
Yeah, they weren't together pretty quickly after the show. It
all fell apart.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
But he was very popular.
Speaker 6 (13:15):
Everyone really liked him. His name is Harry Jowsey. Chousey's
I think.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
So Harry Jowsey.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
And everyone thinks he's very good looking. He's very lovely.
He was very sweet on the show, so he was
very popular. But now he's getting his own reality TV show.
It's called Let's Marry Harry.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Oh, he's not just.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
Turning up an a show.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
It's his show.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
And since he was very popular on that show, he
has been a little bit of a player, I would say,
so his reputation is not as stellar anymore.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
As a singer with a bit of popularity, your job
is to be a handsome guy adding girls on her.
He's getting around dating girls.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Well, let's not surprise any of that.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Well, now that he reckons, he's ready to settle down
and find that proper connection for the twentieth time. And actually,
you know he's serious about it this time. So it's
called Let's Marry Harry, and they're trying to get some
people involved at the moment.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
There was a bit of a pr stunt that went
around the other day.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
You might have seen where he was walking down the
street with Sea holding hands. Oh yeah, did you see that,
like Australian pop star dating someone twenty years her junior
or whatever it was.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Oh, I saw the whole headline.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Yes, this guy, that's this guy and Sea, but we
know it was a PR stunt.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Now because he's released this video. Guys seea just signed
up for Let's Marry Harry.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
I'm on the mission to find my wife.
Speaker 7 (14:46):
And if you think that's you, please sign up the
linkers in my bio and let's get married.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
He's a well groomed bloke, isn't he. He's very good looking,
so very he spent some time on that beer.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
It turns out though, they are sending out emails to
hot models and influences around America to see if they
want to participate in this show.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I've actually got the letter here.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
I've got the letter. Here you go.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
First, OI love you want to marry Harry?
Speaker 5 (15:16):
That's the letter.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
So the letter is actually, hey, you're getting first DIBs
for this exclusive new opportunity. Harry Dowsey is casting for
his new Netflix reality show, Let's Marry Harry, and you're
invited to apply. He's looking for something real. If you
think you could be the one, this is your shot,
and then it goes on to say, here's what's in
(15:39):
store if you're selected join the cast. B Harry's plus
one to David Dobrick's twenty ninth birthday.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Party, which is your first.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
Date and then marry Harry and she's this model is
like absolutely.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Not yeah easy said he said, And.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
Then suddenly she shows up on Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
So they won't be sending it to the biggest models
in the world. But if you don't need the extra
exposure or the publicity, you're right. You use this as
the opportunity to make a bit of content and put
the note out there. But yeah, okay, good, fine.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Have you been good? Fine, it's going to be terrible.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
You've got to get someone to date him on the show.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
And do you did you actually show up on the show?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
The artist seya, Yeah, I'm working so hard on my
mind to lend to finish this conversation.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Versus the world.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Do we finally care about Farmer Wants a Wife a
month after it finished, because it's well, that's that's mismanagement
on their part, right, because that was a disaster of
a season, and now we're into it.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
We were just talking about hate watching TV shows off air,
and Farm Wants a Wife was the ultimate hate watch
for me, Like, I felt like I had to finish it,
but I hated this season.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
It was horrible.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
They say that is what leads to the ratings success
of merrit At first sight. Yeah, and everyone's angry. Everyone
says it's rubbish, but it still outrages every show on
Australian TV consistently across the year.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Farm Wand's Wife didn't rate.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
No, it was a different kind of hate watch.
Speaker 6 (17:14):
It wasn't a train wreck that you were watching happen
but before your eyes. It was just boring because nothing happened.
That was the problem. But we've recently found out that
the producers were trying.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
To make it all makes sense in the end.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
They were trying They had one last hurrah up their
sleeves to try to make some news out of what
was a terrible show and a really crappy reunion at
the end. Normally the reunion has a bit of drama.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Oh so bored. It was waste of my time. But
they tried to make it exciting. And I guess that's
the main thing. Because it has come out that Farmer
Wants and wifes Thomas and Claret, who I think is
still together. They were when the show finished. They were
still together.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
Most I haven't checked because I don't care that much,
but supposedly he was offered twenty thousand dollars if he
got down on one knee to propose at the finale,
twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Sorry for my stunned silence, did he not?
Speaker 6 (18:19):
She didn't take the twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I don't know what the conditions were, but in a
world where we know that statistically every second one of
these real ones doesn't work out, just take the money.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Bro take the money. I'm sure they would have provided
a ring too.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Oh you better believe they would. It's why they were
putting the bill on the twenty grand, so that they
could probably make it back on the deal they did
with the ring guys.
Speaker 6 (18:45):
And she knows what's going on. She knows she's on
a TV show. It could be a long engagement.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
That's fine.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
She could even say no, I don't care, but everyone's
got a price, and if your price is not twenty grand,
you dream it.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
The irony that the guy on the reality show to
Find Love was so respectful of the sanctity of marriage
that he wouldn't do it.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
This is what was so boring.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
He's very confusing. Haden in the newsroom, we were very
excited to learn that one of the rarities in World
Sport took place at the beginning of the week with
an Australian dancer being given the call up to the
Dallas Cowboys cheerleading Yeah.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
So the pretty much the elite of the elite of
the cheerleading squad in the NFL over in America. She's
the third Australian to be put into it and the
first New Zealander.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yeah so, kee wee born Perth Rays and so like
Russell Crowe, we claimed them as ours until there's a
problem and then we go, oh they're from New Zealand.
But at this stage she has been the center of
a lot of controversy because those who know anything about
the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders by watching the America's Sweetheart documentary
series on Netflix.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
Yeah no, no ponytail.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
And I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
I was looking at all these interviews and her video
of her accepting the uniform when she got told she
was in the team, and I'm.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Like, what is this ponytail?
Speaker 6 (20:12):
Every one of the girls has their hair out, all
of them, bar one in curls. Like it's a very
very well defined look well defined. Look, you're right, there's
one girl who has straight hair, and she had to
get strict permission to be able to do that.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
It's stock standard to have those curls.
Speaker 6 (20:27):
Absolutely put a lot of work into it, so to
have a ponytail. I was like, excuse me, yes.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
And so look if you, if you, if you're not
paying attention to the cheerleading world or the dance world,
you know, how is this a thing?
Speaker 5 (20:40):
But it's been, it's been a global controversy.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
And so finally she has revealed that she has a
tremendous head sweat.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
And I love this about her because I relate and
I love that she's being honest about it.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I have. I mean, we can get the tape measure out.
I have a very large head, certainly larger than the
average human. Very big.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Does that mean more sweat glands?
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Seems too.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I'll get a good head sweater and so on. Behalf
of those of us with giant heads or Gabby just
with normal size, but they're sweatier than your average hair.
What a great ambassador for the nation that they identified.
You've got everything we want. You've got the looks, you've
got the talent, you've got the athleticism, you've done the work,
you've committed your life to it. We're not going to
let you miss this opportunity because of your sweaty head.
(21:29):
You can put your hair up.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
Well, she also put her hair up and they were like, oh,
that actually looks really good, but we need to make
sure it's got dansibility. She's all true, the true teine
in a ponytail to prove that it looked good while dancing.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
And she did.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
And so I said earlier in the week, this is
great news and Australian's being called up to the Dallas
Cowboys cheerleaders. Hey, you cannot believe any of this, but
it's all true. And I said, now she's going to
be the star of the star of the next season
of the Netflix series. And you said, listen is like
thirty of them roughly right, thirty six and they can
(22:04):
really only focus on a handful of them in the
You better believe it.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
She's got a point of difference of opponent.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Tail sweaty hat.
Speaker 7 (22:13):
I was about to say, Sweatlands is for the wind Australia.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
We Australians rewriting the rules on the world stage.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
I love that, making us proud, Rod and Gabby versus
the world.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
She's so excited about the ice hockey activity in the Capitol.
We've always loved it, but have been I suppose, restrained
by the numbers that we can actually get into the
philip Ice skating Arena.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
And now this the AIS.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Has been renamed the Brave Grave, which is bad news
for our opponents. We're flying, we're winning, we're packing it out,
we're setting attendance records, and now we have the Brave
versus America. This is huge and I wonder how one
of our brave representatives from Canada feels about this. Welcome
(23:08):
Alex Tetroz, how are you going?
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Now?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
That is a pretty oussy accent for a very French
name for a bloke from Montreal, Canada. Correct, how did
this happen? You haven't You haven't come out here and
adopted the accent. That quickly happening?
Speaker 9 (23:24):
No, no wash away, pretty quickly. So my dad's from
Montreal and my mum's from Canberra, so I was born
over there and moved here at a fairly young age.
So a true blue OSSI as well.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
So did you pick up an ice hockey stick that
I would call it? What would you call it? A
nice hockey stick? There? Is very good. Great, because when
I go over to Saint Louis, my relos laugh. But
I caught ice hockey because it's just hockey, it's right.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Yeah, So I get everything wrong about it, but I
love it.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Were you on the ice as a little bloke in Canada.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 9 (23:57):
So we used to have just an in the front
yard and had an ice rink as well, so Dad
would pack it up with some snows and hose it down,
just chuck some skates on. So I probably would have
started skating when I was about to. I just, you know,
just chuck you out there and keep skating until you
get tired and then you're done.
Speaker 10 (24:15):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (24:16):
But actually didn't start playing organized hockey until I came
to Canberra. So I played two years as a ford.
So I started at ten. So I played two years
as a forward.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Because you're a goaltender, and a goaltender in ice hockey means.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Goal I thought goalkeeper, but you know that's soccer, I guess,
so goaltender is where we're at.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Well, goaltending in basketball's bat.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
That's right, isn't it.
Speaker 9 (24:41):
So goaltender goalie tendy usually attendy.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yes, usually.
Speaker 6 (24:45):
I wanted to talk to you about being that position,
because my experience watching the Mighty Ducks growing up, where
they've all padded out and they're just getting pucks smashed
at them freaked me out to be in that kind
of position.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
Does it make you nervous?
Speaker 9 (25:02):
Honestly, it makes me more nervous thinking about lettings like
the pressure then than actually getting hit in the head.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
That's the right mindset.
Speaker 9 (25:10):
Yeah, otherwise, that's a good point. Well, Also, I needed
to keep my teeth. So if I've got all the
padding and.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
All the gear, oh, you wear a whole mask.
Speaker 9 (25:20):
Absolutely, it's pretty intimidating that mask, I'd like to think.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
So, yeah, yeah, because I see some of the ice
hockey goal yees they have. Also, it's like it's like
a war mask. They'll have all sorts of custom stuff
done with the mask.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (25:34):
So I got mine done. It got custom made in
Canada and got sent through to Finland and then he
got accustomed painted by by painter over there through over here.
So worked with the artists for for a few weeks
and came up with a pretty cool design.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
Which scary movie villain uses a goalie mask.
Speaker 11 (25:54):
Friday done any damage?
Speaker 9 (26:00):
See some goalies that that have had that that.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
They have the the thirteenth mask.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
You want to keep the goals out.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
And also I can't imagine how much you spend on
one of these, but you don't need your mask getting
smashed into with the park and having damage done. We
would be it would be strong enough.
Speaker 11 (26:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (26:18):
Absolutely.
Speaker 12 (26:20):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Now you you were born over there, raised here, but
you speak fluent French. I do, yes, So when you
speak French, do.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
You speak with a French accent or an Aussi accent.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Oh that's a good question.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Would you want speaking some French to Gabby?
Speaker 9 (26:38):
Maybe it's a fair.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Check.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
I'm gonna let you know a secret.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Gabby just loves the accent and so so.
Speaker 13 (26:54):
How do you.
Speaker 6 (26:55):
I really like the Canadian accent, to be honest, I
held back.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Thanks, right right, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
But you your husband's the perfect man minus the Canadian accent.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
Honestly, he had that.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
I spent a lot of time in Canada when I
was sixteen, and I've just I've got a.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
Feeling with it now. I can't help it. So how
are you You're obviously going.
Speaker 6 (27:18):
For Canada when Canada and America are going up against
each other in one and a half week's time.
Speaker 9 (27:23):
I don't think I have a choice.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
You don't have a choice.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
But when it comes to this game this weekend, the
Brave going up against America. But there's been a couple
of trades and one of your friends, Matt, who will
be on the show with us again on Friday. Matclark
friend the show, he's been drafted over to the US.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
How's that going with Team Morale?
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (27:43):
Look, I think as soon as we found out, we
just kind of kept quiet, stop talking to him until
that's over, you know, and then one's class the strategy. Yeah, no,
not at all.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
You're representing the capital in the nation. For crying out loud,
I mean, the stakes don't get any high.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Absolutely, congratulations on really a fantastic life story, a great
Canberra story, and we're so privileged now to be able
to get thousands more of us in to see this.
It feels good out there on the ice with just
that incredible atmosphere.
Speaker 11 (28:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Absolutely.
Speaker 9 (28:13):
Look, we've been packing out the Phillip Bicicketing Center for
years and the experience of playing at the AAS is incredible.
You know, I never thought that I'd be able to
step foot in camera play the sport that I love
in front of three thousand people, friends, family, and particularly
(28:36):
because we're really hot at the moment and we're winning.
There's this energy in the building and look, it's a
privilege and I just can't. I just really hope we
can continue to do this and keep growing the game
in Canberra because I see so many new people come
through and after the first game that they're just hooked.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
So hot a stick in town.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Yeah, absolutely, And I know you guys are the one
game at a time, but I'm telling you he gonna
win the championship. This is this is a fantastic season
if you can get it to get one. Get along. Congratulations,
Thank you so much for the time, and good luck
taleling up the Yanks. Someone said to me, gee, you're
really Merrick really turned on you when you mentioned that
(29:19):
he was running a tax scam with his tour, and
I thought, yeah, I think there was a moment in
the show where Merrick not just turned on us, but
the ato Is this the most fantastic tax ride off
in the history of your career?
Speaker 13 (29:34):
Oh yeah, absolutely not. Only is it a tax ride
off because basically, you know, obviously it's including my favorite hobbies,
which are drinking and telling Joe yes it is. I
take a lot of cash under the table as well,
So I'm not even paying a lot of people. If
you come to the show and you don't want to
pay full price, that's fine. You just give me cash money.
I put in a brown envelope and I take it
(29:56):
home with me.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
It's sweet ass.
Speaker 13 (29:58):
And if you listen to the ATO, come along and
you paid twice as much work to the ATO, you
can come along and pay cash. Did you pay.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Twice foolhardy is how I would describe that response.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
He's really getting looked into his tax time, isn't he.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
The ATO making news today with the headline questions raised
after ATO wiped one million dollar bill from Paul Keating's company.
And those who don't remember Paul Keating a great labor
prime minister of the of the late eighties.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
He's one that said got a job.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
He said, he said a lot of things. He called
people scumbags, he did all sorts of things. However, yeah,
there are a lot of questions. It was four Corners
did an investigation and they've exposed that, and so they're
obviously concerned around the lack of transparency that you know
have been raised in what is a confidential matter. But
I've got some news for four corners. That's the thing
(30:53):
with the confidential.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
Settlements, they're confidential.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Yeah, there's a real lack of transparency in those ato.
I sit up for you just then, so I remember.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
That, and Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
I said, Hayden, just during that little gap, Hey, what's
the beer song?
Speaker 7 (31:09):
I only know one beer song.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
There's some great beer drinking songs.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
And just in light of the news that you're about
to present to hims, would you mind giving us a
rendition of the beer song you began to sing to me.
Speaker 7 (31:19):
Of course, he's an Aussie, he's true blue, he's a
bear spot and through I can't finish the other.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Good point, good point. I probably should have stuped you
that you were wise stuff. Now what's there is a
Chumber wonders. That's a drinking song, isn't it good?
Speaker 6 (31:35):
No?
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Damn, I think it's drinking. We don't have one at
the moment. There's some confusion. Elbow needs one because the
beers are on him today.
Speaker 7 (31:42):
Yeah, so Albow has just recently frozen the beer tacks
for the next two years. But it's only for tap beers,
so bottled beers, spirits and everything and everything between will
still continue to see price hikes.
Speaker 6 (31:57):
Is that because they want to encourage people to get
to the call establishment because it's pretty tough at the moment.
Speaker 7 (32:03):
Yeah, he says, it's to sort of ease the cost
of living pressures.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
Is that part of the cost of living?
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Look, if you're paying close attention to the household budget
and you're heading to the path, you're doing it wrong.
Apologies if that is your strategy.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
But now of my budget, I know about you.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Here's a great pine, I mean, with elbows, help here
and you get.
Speaker 5 (32:26):
The right night for a countery.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Well, all of a sudden we're ending up ahead.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
Good thinking, albout all right, we're in.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
I mean my quote is accurate. A lot of people
are ringing what's what is very smart? I don't even know,
but you're into it.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
So it's a genre of book that has really blown
up recently, where so many of my friends talking about
it on Instagram.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
BookTalk is all over it.
Speaker 6 (32:51):
I'm going to give you the definition of what it
is so that you understand. Very smart refers to a
genre of fantasy romance novels or romanticy featuring fairies, and
often includes explicit content, sometimes described as spicy or steamy.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Okay, it's an old fashioned romance novel.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
But it's a fantasy one with you know, mythical creatures
that are participating. So people have been talking about it
for months, and I have been just reading like kind
of crime thriller novels recently. But I got to a
point where I'm just in a moment in time where
I need some escapism and I.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Just need something that's going to be a little bit
of a pleasurable read. The last couple of months have been.
Speaker 6 (33:41):
Pretty crappy, and I just needed something to take my
mind off it, right, So I thought i'd give it
a crack.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
I thought I would try this genre of book.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
When you see how it went, we you're cynical.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
Who was their skepticism, I'm.
Speaker 6 (33:54):
Not going to finish absolutely, And I was like, how
bad can it really be? So I started reading this
book and they're right. It's very steamy, it's very spicy,
and it's good. So I'm I'm really enjoying it. No,
I'm actually really enjoying it. And a lot of women
who have been raving about it. I get what they're
(34:16):
saying now, but it does get really uncomfortable in certain
situations because I like to read my book at the hairdresser.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
So I was sitting at the hairdresser the other.
Speaker 6 (34:23):
Day and I'm just and I've got kindles, so no
one knows what I'm reading, so that's good, and I'm
just reading along and then I get to one of
the paragraphs that starts to get pretty spicy, and I
freaked out every time someone looked over my shoulder just
in case they saw certain words that were on the page.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
And I had to stop reading because it was just
too uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Just know, if you're ever standing up behind someone to
start reading the book.
Speaker 6 (34:45):
But there were certain words that could have stood out,
you know, and I didn't want them to see that,
so I had to say, read in.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Your mind, no one's walked past and seen whatever that
word they might have.
Speaker 6 (34:56):
So then I was away for the weekend with some
girlfriends down the co We're having a little girl's weekend away,
and I had told one of my friends what I
was reading, and she asked for a page so that
she could determine for herself if it was as spicy
as I was saying it was.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Did you do a live reading of the girl?
Speaker 4 (35:12):
Absolutely not, but she dide, So.
Speaker 6 (35:16):
I took a screenshot of the screen and I sent
it to her and she was like wow. So when
we're all sitting there, she's like, guys, this is what
Gabby's reading, and she reads it out to everyone and
I was cacking up. It's so funny, and everyone was
laughing and we all had a joke about it. But
when we decided it was quiet time and we're all
going to sit around on the couches having a bit
of a read for an hour, my friend looked at
(35:38):
me and goes, I'm really uncomfortable with you reading that
book in my presence.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
This is the greatest advertisement for Fairy Smart EVERD.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
And Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Okay, people confused because you know you're not in real estate.
So Gabby's auctioneer training is causing some confusion.
Speaker 6 (36:00):
Yeah, I've been trained by the best, and I want
to pass on these instructions.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
So you found a random train I love finding training
videos for different companies.
Speaker 6 (36:12):
Yes, and his name is Brett Elliptic. Anyway, he is
a coach. When it comes to auctioneers. He wants to
teach the young ones how to do a good auction,
but he coaches beginners and what they struggle with the most,
he says, is how to move their body when doing
an auction. And he says there's a lot to do
(36:32):
with body language when it comes to doing an auction
that encourages higher bits. Oh, you have to really focus
on what you are projecting through body language.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Is it like when you give someone that look and
you go the sir, you know, and you put your
head up.
Speaker 6 (36:46):
Like yeah, everyone knows what you're doing, right, So I'm
looking at it encourages respond Well, it's like, I feel
like that's not one of them.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
You should you should put your bid.
Speaker 5 (36:56):
Up very visual doing the head nod.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Yeah yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
It's not that subtle.
Speaker 6 (37:04):
So he's got the video here and people are calling
it very cringe worthy and people are really tearing him
down for this. But you know, he's like hate the
game of the player because it works.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Okay, let's see.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Here we go.
Speaker 12 (37:17):
When I'm turning to a bit of for the first time,
front facing, open ended, welcome, you win. I'm making it
easy for you to connect with me and join the play.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
He's selling this to me.
Speaker 5 (37:27):
I can hear his selling voice just in the train.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
He's a salesman, right, so he's opened and that's that's palms.
Speaker 6 (37:33):
Up, open, body language, welcome, and we can all get
something from that.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Any salesperson will tell you that. And I think we
even learned that as kids in drama class. When it
comes to the messages you're sending with your body language,
palms up, open, open arms.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
I'm cross your legs or your arms because that's closed off.
Speaker 5 (37:51):
Yes, you want to be open.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Welcome. A couple of quick bits, welcome you back here.
Look at this.
Speaker 12 (38:01):
Right and only a three quarter turn or a half
turn right, two and a half, two and a half.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
And I lean in.
Speaker 6 (38:07):
Fink it gets better. He looks like he's doing the Egyptian.
You know the Egyptian with one hand.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
So you do it. You can do this wherever you are.
It's the half turn to the side, but the open part.
Maintain the open palm spoken about at the start. Okay,
but what is also when he said the half bent,
he pointed to his leg, So you're actually doing the
half turn and then the lean in and I'm leaning
into the bidder, what doll I have? Two and a half, sir?
This is all checking out so far and.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
A half fifteen and a half lean the other way.
Speaker 7 (38:37):
Whoa?
Speaker 1 (38:38):
This escalated?
Speaker 4 (38:38):
He's had to turn and go.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
Are we just going up an extra fifteen and a half? Old? Mates?
Speaker 5 (38:42):
Just gone up two and a half?
Speaker 1 (38:44):
You sir?
Speaker 5 (38:44):
Fifteen and a half? Well, hang on a second, why
don't I stay at two and a half.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
No one cares about the money he is. It's all
about the body.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Language, where you're going to overpay for what this properly.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
A couple of rapid five bits from right to left.
Boom boom, boom boom.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
Well that does look good. Yeah he's going and the
open palms are staying there, but the left.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
Palms going out, right palms going out.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
This guy's very good, very impressive.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Boom boom boom boom.
Speaker 12 (39:10):
It's like a bit of a dance move, flowing left
to right, left to right through the middle, left, right
through the.
Speaker 6 (39:16):
Middle, and we will literally be a dance instructor right
now in an acrobatics aerobics class.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
In any auctioneer. Praise that there is this frenzy of
bidding going on, that he's having to go left right,
down the middle, left right, right, left, left, up the middle. No,
that's never gonna happen, not in this environment.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Left right through the middle, down here through the middle, up.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
There, left right. One of the bidders is short. There's
the tall guy at the back. You said, tall guy
at the back.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Left right behind him, four.
Speaker 4 (39:52):
Behind, someone doing an auction bid behind.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Listen to me, what sort of auctioneer you're running in
the round. He's gone into the middle of the crowd.
Speaker 6 (40:04):
Maybe it's like a cattle auction that the cattle yards
in the pen.
Speaker 5 (40:08):
He had me until there.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
I have never attended an auction a where they've allowed
you to stand behind the auctioneer, or b where some
lunatic who plans on bidding on the property goes. I'll
stand behind him. Let's see how this goes.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Not well, I haven't seen you yet. Welcome open.
Speaker 4 (40:30):
Now he's got his back to everyone else.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
You should have never allowed them to stand behind you.
All right, You lost the crowd just like that. That's
how easy? And when what do we learn?
Speaker 4 (40:38):
Don't turn your back and don't let.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
Someone say behind you, because you lose the whole bloody crowd.
Speaker 5 (40:45):
You've had the Telly on at home.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
You'll have seen Eddie on Channel seven and really all
the channels belting this.
Speaker 10 (40:50):
And a man who allegedly led police in a while
pursued and a stolen Woolworth truck has been charged.
Speaker 4 (40:56):
Pullise say.
Speaker 10 (40:57):
The twenty nine year old driver stole the truck from
Bankstown in it Is West, hitting four cars during the
eighty kilometer cross city chase before being cornered into the
Blue Mountains.
Speaker 5 (41:07):
You know, if you're gonna steal a.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
Car, there's no thought that's gone into this. It is
the most conspicuous vehicle on the road, as well as
one of the worst handling. I would imagine hate I
mean with the price of eggs. Though recently I understand
what was a great question is and we don't know
the motivation behind the perpetrators, you know, hijacking of the vehicle,
(41:34):
But was it because of the contents?
Speaker 6 (41:36):
Well, I when I first saw the story, I didn't
realize the vehicle had been stolen. I thought the police
were chasing it down because something from their delivery was missing.
Speaker 4 (41:44):
That happens to me every week. You can get my
frozen chippies this week, and I'm furious We've.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
Discussed it before, our misuse of the badge.
Speaker 5 (41:54):
If we were police.
Speaker 4 (41:55):
Officers chasing that truck down, chasing.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
Everyone cheap and no, I all sorts of misdemeanors that
technically i'd absolutely charge you with.
Speaker 5 (42:04):
But no, that's that's right up there, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
You know, I didn't order this, And then they go, yeah,
we didn't have that, so we put we substitute. I
don't want a substitute.
Speaker 4 (42:11):
No, I say, no substitutes. I don't get them.
Speaker 1 (42:13):
No, But then I miss, you know what, we don't
know that that didn't happen. Well, we do know the
guy actually stolen the rod.
Speaker 3 (42:19):
And Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 1 (42:21):
I'm always nervous when speaking with big stars and entertainment
who have had signpost moments in our lives over years,
because some of them don't always you know, like playing
the classics and so it must be really interesting as
one of the biggest stars in Australian children's entertainment. When
you do, then you know your career naturally, it happens
all the time. You evolve, Yeah, but a generation evolves
(42:44):
with you.
Speaker 6 (42:45):
Like if I were to go to a show, I
would want to hear the original song that I'd heard
from them in the past.
Speaker 4 (42:51):
Yeah, like one, two, three, four, hi five.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
I know, but I don't know how that's going to
go down if you start channing that at one of
the performances of the Great Name and Fole.
Speaker 5 (43:00):
Are you coming to camera? Great to speak to you again?
Speaker 13 (43:02):
Mate?
Speaker 11 (43:02):
How are you good day you guys?
Speaker 1 (43:03):
How are you well? It's an interesting thing though, as
a bloke who rose, who helped raise a generation of Australians,
do you get any of that? Yeah?
Speaker 11 (43:13):
Now and again, you know, you know have people. It's
usually the kids that are now adults that are probably drunk. Yes,
you know, I remember you I was when I was
a kid.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
I'm like, oh my god, you look older than me.
Speaker 11 (43:26):
You know, six ft four with a full beard, looks
like you knows you raised.
Speaker 6 (43:33):
There have been resurgence of eighteen plus concerts for like
the original Wiggles for instance, where kids that grew up
with them go to an eighteen plus event there and
enjoy those songs from their childhood.
Speaker 4 (43:45):
Would high five the original members ever do that?
Speaker 11 (43:49):
I don't know. I mean we're all over the place
now and I think, yeah, I mean, Tim's moved to
England now and everyone's just doing their own thing. So,
I mean there has been talk about it, but you know,
we just never know. I mean I was pushing it
and then I just kind of stopped. Now I'm just
focusing on my own things. It got to the point
of said, oh, he's a reuni your reunion because one
(44:09):
night I probably had a whiskey or two and decided
to post up an old photo of High five and say, hey,
a reuna would be great. And then the next day
media was contacting and TVs like I saw crap.
Speaker 1 (44:23):
It happens to scary spices and the best. Yeah, I
mean every time, you're right. You come from an iconic group.
Everyone would love the idea of the reunion. However, the
timing is always the challenge.
Speaker 11 (44:33):
Yeah, it is. It is five different lives, you know,
five different pathways. So one of those things I'll never
say never.
Speaker 1 (44:39):
But Murray the Red Wiggle was on with us a
few weeks ago. He was out here doing a DJ
set and it's probably a good example of he He
just loves performing, entertaining, making music absolutely draws fans of
the Whiggels. And then we'll get the rest of the
team together from time to time. I'd like to think
that that lies somewhere in the future. But as a musician,
(45:01):
you know, as a creator, how are you loving the
freedom life after High Five?
Speaker 11 (45:06):
Well, I love I mean, I've been I've been doing
this since I was ten. I've been working with bands,
you know, about eight years before High Five even started,
so I was I was very very young, So I
never kind of, you know, handed in the bat and
I've been I was sort of doing both at the
same time, and then after High Five left, I just
jumped back straight back into it again. And I've always
loved being on stage and rocking it out with the bands,
(45:27):
and it's just it's actually it's been a while since
I've come down to see you guys. It's been too
long time to come out of canvas, but I'll be
there tomorrow night.
Speaker 4 (45:36):
It's very exciting.
Speaker 6 (45:37):
You are actually doing Aussie to the Bones, which is
like covers of some of our huge Aussie anthems that
have been massive over the years. Just before we get
to that, though, I just wanted to ask you a
really quick question because you have been busy over the
last couple of decades, and there's one opera that you
were part of it. I need a bit of an explanation.
Jerry Springer the opera.
Speaker 11 (45:59):
What was that? That was insane? It lasted for a
few months. It was very controversial. David Wenham played Jerry Springer,
Marcus Scream played Steve, and then there was this It
was just the two leads and it was all ensemble,
but it was it was a crazy thing. People walked
out because it was just too controversial. It was it
(46:19):
was like it was. It was very cool. It was
very very cool that was helping the City Opera house.
Actually wow, yeah, very very very very cool thing to
be a part of. But I've dabbled, guys, I've I've
put my hands in all different pies and and you know,
I've loved every second of it.
Speaker 1 (46:34):
Nathan dare I ask what your part in the Jerry
Springer musical was, because the famous thing, you know with
the Jerry Springer TV show is that just when you
think it's got completely insane, Jerry brings someone else out
and that's when things escalate and things start getting thrown.
Please tell me you were the surprise guest that got
brought out at the end and then started.
Speaker 11 (46:56):
Well, they had David and they had Marcus as the lead.
So we were just all on in that one. So
we got to dress up in all different things. I
think we'll we'll, we'll devils and then we'll angels, and
we're all over the place. Look, if you haven't seen it,
I think it's still playing overseas somewhere on the West End.
But go go and catch it. You'll you'll walk You'll
(47:17):
walk in with your expectations, you walk out and having
a great night if you have an open mind.
Speaker 1 (47:23):
You have an open mind, you're walking with expectations. You'll
leave furious.
Speaker 5 (47:27):
But we'll see.
Speaker 1 (47:29):
It's on tour for a reason, obviously. However, we can't
wait to have you back here. Nathan Foley brings Ozzie
to the Bone July twenty five, tomorrow night, Harmony German
Club in Abunda. Of course I can't wait to see there, mate,
really really excited to have you.
Speaker 11 (47:42):
And make sure that's in excess and John farn and
it's gonna be ready with a six piece rock and band,
so cannot wait.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
And make sure you get on the group chat with
the rest of the High five guys and you go, hey, hey,
let's make this is there a group chat? Is there
a message group chat? N?
Speaker 11 (48:00):
I don't know. You know what the funny thing is,
back when we're doing high five, we didn't even have
social media. A good point they found, thank thank goodness.
So I'd say thank God for that.
Speaker 1 (48:09):
That's a very good point. You're a gentleman mate. Great
did chat. We'll see you here.
Speaker 11 (48:13):
Great gods, have a great day.
They came bounding over.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
What's a procedure.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
This is Roden, Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Here we go. I'm a bit down to start the show, Hayden.
I'll turn that off so you can adjust that. Good
morning everyone, Hello Gabby.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Morning. I'm not as down as you are.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Ah, it was a distressing morning. Yeah, And you know
we all talk about ducking and weaving and dodging wildlife
to make it to work. When you are a shift worker,
a night driver, you know if you're with us at
this time, if you're at work now, you know what
we're talking about.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
I had to dodge a kangar at nine am the
other morning, so am. Yeah, it happens all through the day.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
At the moment, the kangaroos and I don't want to
get ahead, don't want the moles on myself, but the
ducking and weaving of the ruse, I feel like we.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
Stand a chance anyway.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Anyway, I've got the high beams on them on the
bart in this morning, and I see an oncoming truck
come over the horizon, so I flicked the high beams
off and then just I can't say, I can't repeat
what I shouted at volume, but just out of nowhere.
There he was. He wasn't scurrying, he wasn't making a
break for it, standing.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
Like an idiot in the middle of my lane was.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
A blocker wombat. And I just went, oh, you know
what I said, we know what you said. And he
went through my car like a hot knife through butter,
this poor little bastard, and so I it breaks my heart.
I feel so sad for him now. I don't know what.
I haven't had to talking with this yesterday. It's thirty
years since about to deal with panel beaters and getting
a coat and the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
It's an awful way to start.
Speaker 6 (01:46):
And they just do so much damage. Little wombat's like
I feel like kangaroos do less damage.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Like it's more.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
Visible, but it's not as hectic as it doesn't take
out the bottom of your car.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Hadn't you're a young guy, you ever had you crashed
into some wildlife yet? Or this hasn't had.
Speaker 7 (01:58):
Wildlife other people of other cars, other cars, that's a
different story.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Top of you're there, the police actually just start rolling
on this. We don't need any more calls from the AFP.
I've done, I've started enough trouble for them down there
this week. Okay, before you start telling us times you've
run people either when it happens. The danger with the
(02:24):
kangaroo is if you get them at the wrong point
of the bounce, it can be diabolical. It can be
deadly because they can come through the windshield. And so
there's no danger of that with a wombat. But strike
me Ray hitting a boulder. Yeah, And so I looked
in the so my cars an e V and so
where things would be normally in an engine where I
would know things. I don't know what's going on right,
(02:46):
but I know that there, and I'm surprised.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
You must have been a bee's.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Diaphragm away from the the the airbags going off, because
you hit it bees diaphragm, diph it's a unit of measurement.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Heard that it's very close.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
It's very close. It's very close. The airbags must have
been so close to going off and they didn't, thankfully.
So I've limped into work. But yeah, well I guess
you know. I'll have to get it toad later on.
But I looked underneath in the dark.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
I'll do a video later on if anyone's interested. And
everything in there has been pushed back.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
The swambat has just it's like a bloody but it's
bigger and as hard as a bowling ball at one
hundred kilometers an hour, and you better believe you want
it going under the car anyway. So I'm heartbroken for
this poor little fellow and via car, and perhaps more
so for my car. Yeah, I I was shaken up
about it. I was shaking anyway, So I just look,
(03:45):
there's nothing you can do other than maybe maybe if
I had a fraction more think time. But he was
still so the You know, I'm doing one hundred, So
say I was doing ninety, would I have had enough
time to swerve.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
I don't know that you want to do that.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
They say you got us, They say you got us day.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Straight swerving can be a lot worse.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yeah, And he hit like he could not have gone.
It's like you got to take measure out. And he
went right on this far from that side, and he
was he middled it like he was right in the
middle of the All the senses in the front.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Of the car do why he stopped wiped out.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Like he's just walking there. He just goes, yeah, you know,
good spot.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
You know he stopped because you could hear a car
but not an engine, and.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
It was a bit confused. He's like, what's that spaceship?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
The hell's going? Oh that's what it is, and yeah,
here we are, all right, So everyone take it easy
there on the roads. Hayden, I know that we're covering
the news today, but you know I've taken too much
time crying about that one bat thing and my car
being half written off? Could it be written off?
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Potentially?
Speaker 7 (04:45):
That is very low for a wombat.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
That's very like thirteen ten sixty. Have you ever had
your car written off after colliding with wildlife?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
My sister has. Yeah, yeah, with the kangaroo.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
It's just like if the damage costs more than the
car is worth.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
It's written off.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
I can't believe that she was.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
Driving a really crappy car. Yeah, it wasn't worth much,
so it was written off.
Speaker 7 (05:07):
Yeah, you're same with my mum a couple of years ago,
a couple of cars back. No, she got she hit
a kangaroo and the car was written off.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Yeah. Yeah, and it's and it's it's a gift in
ways no one gets hurt and the cars ensured. Yeah,
well that's that's not not necessarily bad news, but I no,
it's bad.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
It is bad news.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
I needed this like a hole in my head.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Rod and Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I've changed my attitude. I'm looking to gen Z to
lead the nation and the world, and I want to follow.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Should I sign up to this?
Speaker 6 (05:38):
You might want to, It's up to you, but it's
not something that I'll be signing up for because I
just I can't get my head around it. And it's
really shook me that gen Zetters are doing this. And
I would be really interested to know if Chelsea's on
board with this being a gen Zettter.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
I reckon she might be. I think there's big potential
that she'll be. This will be normal for her.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Good morning produced, Chelsea.
Speaker 8 (06:00):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Often when we present with astonishment the tales of Genz's,
your response is that's normal.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Yeah, and I think that might be the case.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
But we'll see you will be the human Barometera when it.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Comes to using our smartphones. Rod, being not in the
gen Z category, do you have rules around what is
a phone job and what's a laptop job or a
computer job? Like when I'm booking flights, for example, I
like to have a couple of tabs open, so I'm
normally on the laptop doing that.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah, it feels well, it is. It's a it's a
serious purchase, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
If it's a serious purchase, it's normally a computer job.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Na, gen z it Is are all about the phone.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
And there's a gen ZiT out there who is revealed
and she's probably not the only one. That she did
her tax on her iPhone on the myga website.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Right, it seems it seems a bit slap dash. I agree,
Producer Chelsea, have you or would you do your tax
return on your phone?
Speaker 8 (07:11):
No, I'm not a part of this. I am on
board with you guys. Yeah, big purchases anything that needs
a lot more brain power on the laptop. Yes, yeah,
I agree.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Sure it's psychologic.
Speaker 8 (07:24):
But my partner jared everything on his phone. He's like
doing an email, trying to write put his signature to
send back a PDF. I'm like, do it on the laptop.
He's trying to do it on his phone. I'm like no.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
But when we talk about being the future of the
nation in the world, those people are probably right.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
But it's so tiny.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Like my husband was doing his tax on the computer
yesterday and the boxes that you've got to fill in.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Next to the text. It's so tiny.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
I don't have the kind of eyesight for that anyway,
So Baby Jens the only ones that are actually capable
of doing it.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
You zoom.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Who's the question? In a scroll for the no JMZ.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I like the way you're thinking, I'm setting myself up
for a huge stuff up with my tax if I do.
Master Chefs still on it is?
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Did you know that?
Speaker 5 (08:18):
And that's the news.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
So it's not often that we get those sensational headlines
like we do from Maths or even Dancing with the
Stars lately, Like there's always controversy around reality TV shows,
not so much Master Chef, and.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
So we don't hear a lot about it.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
If you're not watching it, you don't know it exists. However,
the headline I saw today are you ready?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Master Chef?
Speaker 6 (08:39):
Australia viewers up in arms over contestant Laura's disgusting and
unhygienic act.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Laura, Laura, we were watching and you who you were
and what you did? This would be furious, a thing
that makes people mad.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
What happened was she was cooking some delicious looking Wagoo
steaks yum. But she was seen to blow on the
food and people are fuming.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Why did you blow on the food to cool it down?
I don't know her thought process when it comes to
cooling down. Why would that work? I borrowed my daughter's
food all the.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Time, one fork or spoonful at a time, and not
at you've cooked up a plate full of wag u steaks.
You're not.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
I mean, this is superman powers that she thinks.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
She has here or the Iceman.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Correct anytime you go, oh, this would work if you're
a Superman or the Iceman. A you wasted your time
and be You've outraged.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Nation versus the world.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
It's an Aussie in a new US reality TV show.
I love that, but I'm also nervous about it because
you are representing the nation, like going to the Olympics,
except far less important but arguably higher profile.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Some would say, let's.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
See how this national ambassador is shaping up and what
insanity they're going to be involved in in front of
the eyes of America and subsequently the world in the
next five minutes. In the meantime, Hayen, you haven't heard
about this what will happen if you accidentally land in Austria.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
There's no way someone's taking the time into the day
to book a trip to Australia and they've gone got it,
We're in it, and then they've landed in Austria.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
It happens.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I'm about to put something on the screen. Okay, okay,
tell me what you're looking at.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
No way, there's merchandise. This is I want that copy, Mike. Basically,
it's just that's awesome.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
This happens so often that people rock up in Austria
and then they go to the desk and they're like,
so I've booked this or that and they're.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Like, no, you haven't, you're not in Australia.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
And they've actually got a specific desk in this Austrian
airport in Salzburg that is for people who have accidentally
flown there.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Like it's a thing, you're joke.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
So now they have merched that they've decided to start
because it is so common and it looks like a
kangaroo on the road sign, like one of our yellow
signs with the roof, but it says no kangaroos in Austria.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Gor gee, And even looking at it at a glance
and going, that's not right because it looks like Australia
looks like it's just so close.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
I want this so bad?
Speaker 6 (11:16):
Do you reckon if I get in touch and get
some of this merch because I really want it.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Categorically, we could probably do some bootleg versions. I mean,
I don't know how tight the Austrian Yeah, you know,
we're gonna find out. This is the second time we've
had a run in with the Law and the show.
We've been going thirty five minutes. Who is representing the
(11:40):
greatest nation on Earth in a new US reality TV show?
It's a huge.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
Responsibility, massive responsibility, and it is a guy who's already
been on a number of reality TV shows on Netflix.
So if you've seen something like Too Hot to Handle.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
No one has seen that.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
I've seen it.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
You've seen that, Chelsea, You've seen it, right produced Chelsea
Too Hot to Handle?
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Yeah, I've watched every season. Who hasn't seen it?
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Is that an Australian really.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Also this?
Speaker 5 (12:09):
He's an Aussie who does the American reality He was.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
Very popular in his season of Too Hot Handle. He
ended up winning it.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Did he win it?
Speaker 6 (12:19):
With the girl and they he proposed to her with
a lolly ring.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
It was really silly.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
So what's the idea he's too hot?
Speaker 6 (12:26):
No, so they go into a house. It's kind of
like Love Island, right where they get into a house
and they want to partner off, but then they get
told that they're not allowed.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
To touch each other at all.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
Oh okay, and if they do, they get fined and
the winnings at the end are diminished by how many times.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
The rules are broken. So break, yeah, a rule, break exactly.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
So if you win at the end, you could be
getting twenty bucks depending on how everyone goes.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Did he win because he wasn't too hot and no
one wanted to touch him? No?
Speaker 4 (12:57):
He ended up No.
Speaker 8 (12:58):
So the concept of the show is the they need
to make real connections with without the physical side.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
Of guests, and he supposedly did that. They're definitely not
together anymore.
Speaker 8 (13:09):
She's got kids now.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
Yeah, they weren't together pretty quickly after the show. It
all fell apart.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
But he was very popular.
Speaker 6 (13:15):
Everyone really liked him. His name is Harry Jowsey. Chousey's
I think.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
So Harry Jowsey.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
And everyone thinks he's very good looking. He's very lovely.
He was very sweet on the show, so he was
very popular. But now he's getting his own reality TV show.
It's called Let's Marry Harry.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Oh, he's not just.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
Turning up an a show.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
It's his show.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
And since he was very popular on that show, he
has been a little bit of a player, I would say,
so his reputation is not as stellar anymore.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
As a singer with a bit of popularity, your job
is to be a handsome guy adding girls on her.
He's getting around dating girls.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Well, let's not surprise any of that.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Well, now that he reckons, he's ready to settle down
and find that proper connection for the twentieth time. And actually,
you know he's serious about it this time. So it's
called Let's Marry Harry, and they're trying to get some
people involved at the moment.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
There was a bit of a pr stunt that went
around the other day.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
You might have seen where he was walking down the
street with Sea holding hands. Oh yeah, did you see that,
like Australian pop star dating someone twenty years her junior
or whatever it was.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Oh, I saw the whole headline.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Yes, this guy, that's this guy and Sea, but we
know it was a PR stunt.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Now because he's released this video. Guys seea just signed
up for Let's Marry Harry.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
I'm on the mission to find my wife.
Speaker 7 (14:46):
And if you think that's you, please sign up the
linkers in my bio and let's get married.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
He's a well groomed bloke, isn't he. He's very good looking,
so very he spent some time on that beer.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
It turns out though, they are sending out emails to
hot models and influences around America to see if they
want to participate in this show.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I've actually got the letter here.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
I've got the letter. Here you go.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
First, OI love you want to marry Harry?
Speaker 5 (15:16):
That's the letter.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
So the letter is actually, hey, you're getting first DIBs
for this exclusive new opportunity. Harry Dowsey is casting for
his new Netflix reality show, Let's Marry Harry, and you're
invited to apply. He's looking for something real. If you
think you could be the one, this is your shot,
and then it goes on to say, here's what's in
(15:39):
store if you're selected join the cast. B Harry's plus
one to David Dobrick's twenty ninth birthday.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Party, which is your first.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
Date and then marry Harry and she's this model is
like absolutely.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Not yeah easy said he said, And.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
Then suddenly she shows up on Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
So they won't be sending it to the biggest models
in the world. But if you don't need the extra
exposure or the publicity, you're right. You use this as
the opportunity to make a bit of content and put
the note out there. But yeah, okay, good, fine.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Have you been good? Fine, it's going to be terrible.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
You've got to get someone to date him on the show.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
And do you did you actually show up on the show?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
The artist seya, Yeah, I'm working so hard on my
mind to lend to finish this conversation.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Versus the world.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Do we finally care about Farmer Wants a Wife a
month after it finished, because it's well, that's that's mismanagement
on their part, right, because that was a disaster of
a season, and now we're into it.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
We were just talking about hate watching TV shows off air,
and Farm Wants a Wife was the ultimate hate watch
for me, Like, I felt like I had to finish it,
but I hated this season.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
It was horrible.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
They say that is what leads to the ratings success
of merrit At first sight. Yeah, and everyone's angry. Everyone
says it's rubbish, but it still outrages every show on
Australian TV consistently across the year.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Farm Wand's Wife didn't rate.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
No, it was a different kind of hate watch.
Speaker 6 (17:14):
It wasn't a train wreck that you were watching happen
but before your eyes. It was just boring because nothing happened.
That was the problem. But we've recently found out that
the producers were trying.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
To make it all makes sense in the end.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
They were trying They had one last hurrah up their
sleeves to try to make some news out of what
was a terrible show and a really crappy reunion at
the end. Normally the reunion has a bit of drama.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Oh so bored. It was waste of my time. But
they tried to make it exciting. And I guess that's
the main thing. Because it has come out that Farmer
Wants and wifes Thomas and Claret, who I think is
still together. They were when the show finished. They were
still together.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
Most I haven't checked because I don't care that much,
but supposedly he was offered twenty thousand dollars if he
got down on one knee to propose at the finale,
twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Sorry for my stunned silence, did he not?
Speaker 6 (18:19):
She didn't take the twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I don't know what the conditions were, but in a
world where we know that statistically every second one of
these real ones doesn't work out, just take the money.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Bro take the money. I'm sure they would have provided
a ring too.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Oh you better believe they would. It's why they were
putting the bill on the twenty grand, so that they
could probably make it back on the deal they did
with the ring guys.
Speaker 6 (18:45):
And she knows what's going on. She knows she's on
a TV show. It could be a long engagement.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
That's fine.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
She could even say no, I don't care, but everyone's
got a price, and if your price is not twenty grand,
you dream it.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
The irony that the guy on the reality show to
Find Love was so respectful of the sanctity of marriage
that he wouldn't do it.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
This is what was so boring.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
He's very confusing. Haden in the newsroom, we were very
excited to learn that one of the rarities in World
Sport took place at the beginning of the week with
an Australian dancer being given the call up to the
Dallas Cowboys cheerleading Yeah.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
So the pretty much the elite of the elite of
the cheerleading squad in the NFL over in America. She's
the third Australian to be put into it and the
first New Zealander.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yeah so, kee wee born Perth Rays and so like
Russell Crowe, we claimed them as ours until there's a
problem and then we go, oh they're from New Zealand.
But at this stage she has been the center of
a lot of controversy because those who know anything about
the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders by watching the America's Sweetheart documentary
series on Netflix.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
Yeah no, no ponytail.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
And I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
I was looking at all these interviews and her video
of her accepting the uniform when she got told she
was in the team, and I'm.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Like, what is this ponytail?
Speaker 6 (20:12):
Every one of the girls has their hair out, all
of them, bar one in curls. Like it's a very
very well defined look well defined. Look, you're right, there's
one girl who has straight hair, and she had to
get strict permission to be able to do that.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
It's stock standard to have those curls.
Speaker 6 (20:27):
Absolutely put a lot of work into it, so to
have a ponytail. I was like, excuse me, yes.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
And so look if you, if you, if you're not
paying attention to the cheerleading world or the dance world,
you know, how is this a thing?
Speaker 5 (20:40):
But it's been, it's been a global controversy.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
And so finally she has revealed that she has a
tremendous head sweat.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
And I love this about her because I relate and
I love that she's being honest about it.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I have. I mean, we can get the tape measure out.
I have a very large head, certainly larger than the
average human. Very big.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Does that mean more sweat glands?
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Seems too.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I'll get a good head sweater and so on. Behalf
of those of us with giant heads or Gabby just
with normal size, but they're sweatier than your average hair.
What a great ambassador for the nation that they identified.
You've got everything we want. You've got the looks, you've
got the talent, you've got the athleticism, you've done the work,
you've committed your life to it. We're not going to
let you miss this opportunity because of your sweaty head.
(21:29):
You can put your hair up.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
Well, she also put her hair up and they were like, oh,
that actually looks really good, but we need to make
sure it's got dansibility. She's all true, the true teine
in a ponytail to prove that it looked good while dancing.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
And she did.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
And so I said earlier in the week, this is
great news and Australian's being called up to the Dallas
Cowboys cheerleaders. Hey, you cannot believe any of this, but
it's all true. And I said, now she's going to
be the star of the star of the next season
of the Netflix series. And you said, listen is like
thirty of them roughly right, thirty six and they can
(22:04):
really only focus on a handful of them in the
You better believe it.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
She's got a point of difference of opponent.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Tail sweaty hat.
Speaker 7 (22:13):
I was about to say, Sweatlands is for the wind Australia.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
We Australians rewriting the rules on the world stage.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
I love that, making us proud, Rod and Gabby versus
the world.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
She's so excited about the ice hockey activity in the Capitol.
We've always loved it, but have been I suppose, restrained
by the numbers that we can actually get into the
philip Ice skating Arena.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
And now this the AIS.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Has been renamed the Brave Grave, which is bad news
for our opponents. We're flying, we're winning, we're packing it out,
we're setting attendance records, and now we have the Brave
versus America. This is huge and I wonder how one
of our brave representatives from Canada feels about this. Welcome
(23:08):
Alex Tetroz, how are you going?
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Now?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
That is a pretty oussy accent for a very French
name for a bloke from Montreal, Canada. Correct, how did
this happen? You haven't You haven't come out here and
adopted the accent. That quickly happening?
Speaker 9 (23:24):
No, no wash away, pretty quickly. So my dad's from
Montreal and my mum's from Canberra, so I was born
over there and moved here at a fairly young age.
So a true blue OSSI as well.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
So did you pick up an ice hockey stick that
I would call it? What would you call it? A
nice hockey stick? There? Is very good. Great, because when
I go over to Saint Louis, my relos laugh. But
I caught ice hockey because it's just hockey, it's right.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Yeah, So I get everything wrong about it, but I
love it.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Were you on the ice as a little bloke in Canada.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 9 (23:57):
So we used to have just an in the front
yard and had an ice rink as well, so Dad
would pack it up with some snows and hose it down,
just chuck some skates on. So I probably would have
started skating when I was about to. I just, you know,
just chuck you out there and keep skating until you
get tired and then you're done.
Speaker 10 (24:15):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (24:16):
But actually didn't start playing organized hockey until I came
to Canberra. So I played two years as a ford.
So I started at ten. So I played two years
as a forward.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Because you're a goaltender, and a goaltender in ice hockey means.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Goal I thought goalkeeper, but you know that's soccer, I guess,
so goaltender is where we're at.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Well, goaltending in basketball's bat.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
That's right, isn't it.
Speaker 9 (24:41):
So goaltender goalie tendy usually attendy.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yes, usually.
Speaker 6 (24:45):
I wanted to talk to you about being that position,
because my experience watching the Mighty Ducks growing up, where
they've all padded out and they're just getting pucks smashed
at them freaked me out to be in that kind
of position.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
Does it make you nervous?
Speaker 9 (25:02):
Honestly, it makes me more nervous thinking about lettings like
the pressure then than actually getting hit in the head.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
That's the right mindset.
Speaker 9 (25:10):
Yeah, otherwise, that's a good point. Well, Also, I needed
to keep my teeth. So if I've got all the
padding and.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
All the gear, oh, you wear a whole mask.
Speaker 9 (25:20):
Absolutely, it's pretty intimidating that mask, I'd like to think.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
So, yeah, yeah, because I see some of the ice
hockey goal yees they have. Also, it's like it's like
a war mask. They'll have all sorts of custom stuff
done with the mask.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (25:34):
So I got mine done. It got custom made in
Canada and got sent through to Finland and then he
got accustomed painted by by painter over there through over here.
So worked with the artists for for a few weeks
and came up with a pretty cool design.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
Which scary movie villain uses a goalie mask.
Speaker 11 (25:54):
Friday done any damage?
Speaker 9 (26:00):
See some goalies that that have had that that.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
They have the the thirteenth mask.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
You want to keep the goals out.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
And also I can't imagine how much you spend on
one of these, but you don't need your mask getting
smashed into with the park and having damage done. We
would be it would be strong enough.
Speaker 11 (26:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (26:18):
Absolutely.
Speaker 12 (26:20):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Now you you were born over there, raised here, but
you speak fluent French. I do, yes, So when you
speak French, do.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
You speak with a French accent or an Aussi accent.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Oh that's a good question.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Would you want speaking some French to Gabby?
Speaker 9 (26:38):
Maybe it's a fair.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Check.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
I'm gonna let you know a secret.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Gabby just loves the accent and so so.
Speaker 13 (26:54):
How do you.
Speaker 6 (26:55):
I really like the Canadian accent, to be honest, I
held back.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Thanks, right right, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
But you your husband's the perfect man minus the Canadian accent.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
Honestly, he had that.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
I spent a lot of time in Canada when I
was sixteen, and I've just I've got a.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
Feeling with it now. I can't help it. So how
are you You're obviously going.
Speaker 6 (27:18):
For Canada when Canada and America are going up against
each other in one and a half week's time.
Speaker 9 (27:23):
I don't think I have a choice.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
You don't have a choice.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
But when it comes to this game this weekend, the
Brave going up against America. But there's been a couple
of trades and one of your friends, Matt, who will
be on the show with us again on Friday. Matclark
friend the show, he's been drafted over to the US.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
How's that going with Team Morale?
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (27:43):
Look, I think as soon as we found out, we
just kind of kept quiet, stop talking to him until
that's over, you know, and then one's class the strategy. Yeah, no,
not at all.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
You're representing the capital in the nation. For crying out loud,
I mean, the stakes don't get any high.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Absolutely, congratulations on really a fantastic life story, a great
Canberra story, and we're so privileged now to be able
to get thousands more of us in to see this.
It feels good out there on the ice with just
that incredible atmosphere.
Speaker 11 (28:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Absolutely.
Speaker 9 (28:13):
Look, we've been packing out the Phillip Bicicketing Center for
years and the experience of playing at the AAS is incredible.
You know, I never thought that I'd be able to
step foot in camera play the sport that I love
in front of three thousand people, friends, family, and particularly
(28:36):
because we're really hot at the moment and we're winning.
There's this energy in the building and look, it's a
privilege and I just can't. I just really hope we
can continue to do this and keep growing the game
in Canberra because I see so many new people come
through and after the first game that they're just hooked.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
So hot a stick in town.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Yeah, absolutely, And I know you guys are the one
game at a time, but I'm telling you he gonna
win the championship. This is this is a fantastic season
if you can get it to get one. Get along. Congratulations,
Thank you so much for the time, and good luck
taleling up the Yanks. Someone said to me, gee, you're
really Merrick really turned on you when you mentioned that
(29:19):
he was running a tax scam with his tour, and
I thought, yeah, I think there was a moment in
the show where Merrick not just turned on us, but
the ato Is this the most fantastic tax ride off
in the history of your career?
Speaker 13 (29:34):
Oh yeah, absolutely not. Only is it a tax ride
off because basically, you know, obviously it's including my favorite hobbies,
which are drinking and telling Joe yes it is. I
take a lot of cash under the table as well,
So I'm not even paying a lot of people. If
you come to the show and you don't want to
pay full price, that's fine. You just give me cash money.
I put in a brown envelope and I take it
(29:56):
home with me.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
It's sweet ass.
Speaker 13 (29:58):
And if you listen to the ATO, come along and
you paid twice as much work to the ATO, you
can come along and pay cash. Did you pay.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Twice foolhardy is how I would describe that response.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
He's really getting looked into his tax time, isn't he.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
The ATO making news today with the headline questions raised
after ATO wiped one million dollar bill from Paul Keating's company.
And those who don't remember Paul Keating a great labor
prime minister of the of the late eighties.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
He's one that said got a job.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
He said, he said a lot of things. He called
people scumbags, he did all sorts of things. However, yeah,
there are a lot of questions. It was four Corners
did an investigation and they've exposed that, and so they're
obviously concerned around the lack of transparency that you know
have been raised in what is a confidential matter. But
I've got some news for four corners. That's the thing
(30:53):
with the confidential.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
Settlements, they're confidential.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Yeah, there's a real lack of transparency in those ato.
I sit up for you just then, so I remember.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
That, and Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
I said, Hayden, just during that little gap, Hey, what's
the beer song?
Speaker 7 (31:09):
I only know one beer song.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
There's some great beer drinking songs.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
And just in light of the news that you're about
to present to hims, would you mind giving us a
rendition of the beer song you began to sing to me.
Speaker 7 (31:19):
Of course, he's an Aussie, he's true blue, he's a
bear spot and through I can't finish the other.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Good point, good point. I probably should have stuped you
that you were wise stuff. Now what's there is a
Chumber wonders. That's a drinking song, isn't it good?
Speaker 6 (31:35):
No?
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Damn, I think it's drinking. We don't have one at
the moment. There's some confusion. Elbow needs one because the
beers are on him today.
Speaker 7 (31:42):
Yeah, so Albow has just recently frozen the beer tacks
for the next two years. But it's only for tap beers,
so bottled beers, spirits and everything and everything between will
still continue to see price hikes.
Speaker 6 (31:57):
Is that because they want to encourage people to get
to the call establishment because it's pretty tough at the moment.
Speaker 7 (32:03):
Yeah, he says, it's to sort of ease the cost
of living pressures.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
Is that part of the cost of living?
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Look, if you're paying close attention to the household budget
and you're heading to the path, you're doing it wrong.
Apologies if that is your strategy.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
But now of my budget, I know about you.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Here's a great pine, I mean, with elbows, help here
and you get.
Speaker 5 (32:26):
The right night for a countery.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Well, all of a sudden we're ending up ahead.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
Good thinking, albout all right, we're in.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
I mean my quote is accurate. A lot of people
are ringing what's what is very smart? I don't even know,
but you're into it.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
So it's a genre of book that has really blown
up recently, where so many of my friends talking about
it on Instagram.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
BookTalk is all over it.
Speaker 6 (32:51):
I'm going to give you the definition of what it
is so that you understand. Very smart refers to a
genre of fantasy romance novels or romanticy featuring fairies, and
often includes explicit content, sometimes described as spicy or steamy.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Okay, it's an old fashioned romance novel.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
But it's a fantasy one with you know, mythical creatures
that are participating. So people have been talking about it
for months, and I have been just reading like kind
of crime thriller novels recently. But I got to a
point where I'm just in a moment in time where
I need some escapism and I.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Just need something that's going to be a little bit
of a pleasurable read. The last couple of months have been.
Speaker 6 (33:41):
Pretty crappy, and I just needed something to take my
mind off it, right, So I thought i'd give it
a crack.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
I thought I would try this genre of book.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
When you see how it went, we you're cynical.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
Who was their skepticism, I'm.
Speaker 6 (33:54):
Not going to finish absolutely, And I was like, how
bad can it really be? So I started reading this
book and they're right. It's very steamy, it's very spicy,
and it's good. So I'm I'm really enjoying it. No,
I'm actually really enjoying it. And a lot of women
who have been raving about it. I get what they're
(34:16):
saying now, but it does get really uncomfortable in certain
situations because I like to read my book at the hairdresser.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
So I was sitting at the hairdresser the other.
Speaker 6 (34:23):
Day and I'm just and I've got kindles, so no
one knows what I'm reading, so that's good, and I'm
just reading along and then I get to one of
the paragraphs that starts to get pretty spicy, and I
freaked out every time someone looked over my shoulder just
in case they saw certain words that were on the page.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
And I had to stop reading because it was just
too uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Just know, if you're ever standing up behind someone to
start reading the book.
Speaker 6 (34:45):
But there were certain words that could have stood out,
you know, and I didn't want them to see that,
so I had to say, read in.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Your mind, no one's walked past and seen whatever that
word they might have.
Speaker 6 (34:56):
So then I was away for the weekend with some
girlfriends down the co We're having a little girl's weekend away,
and I had told one of my friends what I
was reading, and she asked for a page so that
she could determine for herself if it was as spicy
as I was saying it was.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Did you do a live reading of the girl?
Speaker 4 (35:12):
Absolutely not, but she dide, So.
Speaker 6 (35:16):
I took a screenshot of the screen and I sent
it to her and she was like wow. So when
we're all sitting there, she's like, guys, this is what
Gabby's reading, and she reads it out to everyone and
I was cacking up. It's so funny, and everyone was
laughing and we all had a joke about it. But
when we decided it was quiet time and we're all
going to sit around on the couches having a bit
of a read for an hour, my friend looked at
(35:38):
me and goes, I'm really uncomfortable with you reading that
book in my presence.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
This is the greatest advertisement for Fairy Smart EVERD.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
And Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Okay, people confused because you know you're not in real estate.
So Gabby's auctioneer training is causing some confusion.
Speaker 6 (36:00):
Yeah, I've been trained by the best, and I want
to pass on these instructions.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
So you found a random train I love finding training
videos for different companies.
Speaker 6 (36:12):
Yes, and his name is Brett Elliptic. Anyway, he is
a coach. When it comes to auctioneers. He wants to
teach the young ones how to do a good auction,
but he coaches beginners and what they struggle with the most,
he says, is how to move their body when doing
an auction. And he says there's a lot to do
(36:32):
with body language when it comes to doing an auction
that encourages higher bits. Oh, you have to really focus
on what you are projecting through body language.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Is it like when you give someone that look and
you go the sir, you know, and you put your
head up.
Speaker 6 (36:46):
Like yeah, everyone knows what you're doing, right, So I'm
looking at it encourages respond Well, it's like, I feel
like that's not one of them.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
You should you should put your bid.
Speaker 5 (36:56):
Up very visual doing the head nod.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Yeah yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
It's not that subtle.
Speaker 6 (37:04):
So he's got the video here and people are calling
it very cringe worthy and people are really tearing him
down for this. But you know, he's like hate the
game of the player because it works.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Okay, let's see.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Here we go.
Speaker 12 (37:17):
When I'm turning to a bit of for the first time,
front facing, open ended, welcome, you win. I'm making it
easy for you to connect with me and join the play.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
He's selling this to me.
Speaker 5 (37:27):
I can hear his selling voice just in the train.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
He's a salesman, right, so he's opened and that's that's palms.
Speaker 6 (37:33):
Up, open, body language, welcome, and we can all get
something from that.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Any salesperson will tell you that. And I think we
even learned that as kids in drama class. When it
comes to the messages you're sending with your body language,
palms up, open, open arms.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
I'm cross your legs or your arms because that's closed off.
Speaker 5 (37:51):
Yes, you want to be open.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Welcome. A couple of quick bits, welcome you back here.
Look at this.
Speaker 12 (38:01):
Right and only a three quarter turn or a half
turn right, two and a half, two and a half.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
And I lean in.
Speaker 6 (38:07):
Fink it gets better. He looks like he's doing the Egyptian.
You know the Egyptian with one hand.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
So you do it. You can do this wherever you are.
It's the half turn to the side, but the open part.
Maintain the open palm spoken about at the start. Okay,
but what is also when he said the half bent,
he pointed to his leg, So you're actually doing the
half turn and then the lean in and I'm leaning
into the bidder, what doll I have? Two and a half, sir?
This is all checking out so far and.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
A half fifteen and a half lean the other way.
Speaker 7 (38:37):
Whoa?
Speaker 1 (38:38):
This escalated?
Speaker 4 (38:38):
He's had to turn and go.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
Are we just going up an extra fifteen and a half? Old? Mates?
Speaker 5 (38:42):
Just gone up two and a half?
Speaker 1 (38:44):
You sir?
Speaker 5 (38:44):
Fifteen and a half? Well, hang on a second, why
don't I stay at two and a half.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
No one cares about the money he is. It's all
about the body.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Language, where you're going to overpay for what this properly.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
A couple of rapid five bits from right to left.
Boom boom, boom boom.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
Well that does look good. Yeah he's going and the
open palms are staying there, but the left.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
Palms going out, right palms going out.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
This guy's very good, very impressive.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Boom boom boom boom.
Speaker 12 (39:10):
It's like a bit of a dance move, flowing left
to right, left to right through the middle, left, right
through the.
Speaker 6 (39:16):
Middle, and we will literally be a dance instructor right
now in an acrobatics aerobics class.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
In any auctioneer. Praise that there is this frenzy of
bidding going on, that he's having to go left right,
down the middle, left right, right, left, left, up the middle. No,
that's never gonna happen, not in this environment.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Left right through the middle, down here through the middle, up.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
There, left right. One of the bidders is short. There's
the tall guy at the back. You said, tall guy
at the back.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Left right behind him, four.
Speaker 4 (39:52):
Behind, someone doing an auction bid behind.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Listen to me, what sort of auctioneer you're running in
the round. He's gone into the middle of the crowd.
Speaker 6 (40:04):
Maybe it's like a cattle auction that the cattle yards
in the pen.
Speaker 5 (40:08):
He had me until there.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
I have never attended an auction a where they've allowed
you to stand behind the auctioneer, or b where some
lunatic who plans on bidding on the property goes. I'll
stand behind him. Let's see how this goes.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Not well, I haven't seen you yet. Welcome open.
Speaker 4 (40:30):
Now he's got his back to everyone else.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
You should have never allowed them to stand behind you.
All right, You lost the crowd just like that. That's
how easy? And when what do we learn?
Speaker 4 (40:38):
Don't turn your back and don't let.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
Someone say behind you, because you lose the whole bloody crowd.
Speaker 5 (40:45):
You've had the Telly on at home.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
You'll have seen Eddie on Channel seven and really all
the channels belting this.
Speaker 10 (40:50):
And a man who allegedly led police in a while
pursued and a stolen Woolworth truck has been charged.
Speaker 4 (40:56):
Pullise say.
Speaker 10 (40:57):
The twenty nine year old driver stole the truck from
Bankstown in it Is West, hitting four cars during the
eighty kilometer cross city chase before being cornered into the
Blue Mountains.
Speaker 5 (41:07):
You know, if you're gonna steal a.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
Car, there's no thought that's gone into this. It is
the most conspicuous vehicle on the road, as well as
one of the worst handling. I would imagine hate I
mean with the price of eggs. Though recently I understand
what was a great question is and we don't know
the motivation behind the perpetrators, you know, hijacking of the vehicle,
(41:34):
But was it because of the contents?
Speaker 6 (41:36):
Well, I when I first saw the story, I didn't
realize the vehicle had been stolen. I thought the police
were chasing it down because something from their delivery was missing.
Speaker 4 (41:44):
That happens to me every week. You can get my
frozen chippies this week, and I'm furious We've.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
Discussed it before, our misuse of the badge.
Speaker 5 (41:54):
If we were police.
Speaker 4 (41:55):
Officers chasing that truck down, chasing.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
Everyone cheap and no, I all sorts of misdemeanors that
technically i'd absolutely charge you with.
Speaker 5 (42:04):
But no, that's that's right up there, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
You know, I didn't order this, And then they go, yeah,
we didn't have that, so we put we substitute. I
don't want a substitute.
Speaker 4 (42:11):
No, I say, no substitutes. I don't get them.
Speaker 1 (42:13):
No, But then I miss, you know what, we don't
know that that didn't happen. Well, we do know the
guy actually stolen the rod.
Speaker 3 (42:19):
And Gabby versus the world.
Speaker 1 (42:21):
I'm always nervous when speaking with big stars and entertainment
who have had signpost moments in our lives over years,
because some of them don't always you know, like playing
the classics and so it must be really interesting as
one of the biggest stars in Australian children's entertainment. When
you do, then you know your career naturally, it happens
all the time. You evolve, Yeah, but a generation evolves
(42:44):
with you.
Speaker 6 (42:45):
Like if I were to go to a show, I
would want to hear the original song that I'd heard
from them in the past.
Speaker 4 (42:51):
Yeah, like one, two, three, four, hi five.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
I know, but I don't know how that's going to
go down if you start channing that at one of
the performances of the Great Name and Fole.
Speaker 5 (43:00):
Are you coming to camera? Great to speak to you again?
Speaker 13 (43:02):
Mate?
Speaker 11 (43:02):
How are you good day you guys?
Speaker 1 (43:03):
How are you well? It's an interesting thing though, as
a bloke who rose, who helped raise a generation of Australians,
do you get any of that? Yeah?
Speaker 11 (43:13):
Now and again, you know, you know have people. It's
usually the kids that are now adults that are probably drunk. Yes,
you know, I remember you I was when I was
a kid.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
I'm like, oh my god, you look older than me.
Speaker 11 (43:26):
You know, six ft four with a full beard, looks
like you knows you raised.
Speaker 6 (43:33):
There have been resurgence of eighteen plus concerts for like
the original Wiggles for instance, where kids that grew up
with them go to an eighteen plus event there and
enjoy those songs from their childhood.
Speaker 4 (43:45):
Would high five the original members ever do that?
Speaker 11 (43:49):
I don't know. I mean we're all over the place
now and I think, yeah, I mean, Tim's moved to
England now and everyone's just doing their own thing. So,
I mean there has been talk about it, but you know,
we just never know. I mean I was pushing it
and then I just kind of stopped. Now I'm just
focusing on my own things. It got to the point
of said, oh, he's a reuni your reunion because one
(44:09):
night I probably had a whiskey or two and decided
to post up an old photo of High five and say, hey,
a reuna would be great. And then the next day
media was contacting and TVs like I saw crap.
Speaker 1 (44:23):
It happens to scary spices and the best. Yeah, I
mean every time, you're right. You come from an iconic group.
Everyone would love the idea of the reunion. However, the
timing is always the challenge.
Speaker 11 (44:33):
Yeah, it is. It is five different lives, you know,
five different pathways. So one of those things I'll never
say never.
Speaker 1 (44:39):
But Murray the Red Wiggle was on with us a
few weeks ago. He was out here doing a DJ
set and it's probably a good example of he He
just loves performing, entertaining, making music absolutely draws fans of
the Whiggels. And then we'll get the rest of the
team together from time to time. I'd like to think
that that lies somewhere in the future. But as a musician,
(45:01):
you know, as a creator, how are you loving the
freedom life after High Five?
Speaker 11 (45:06):
Well, I love I mean, I've been I've been doing
this since I was ten. I've been working with bands,
you know, about eight years before High Five even started,
so I was I was very very young, So I
never kind of, you know, handed in the bat and
I've been I was sort of doing both at the
same time, and then after High Five left, I just
jumped back straight back into it again. And I've always
loved being on stage and rocking it out with the bands,
(45:27):
and it's just it's actually it's been a while since
I've come down to see you guys. It's been too
long time to come out of canvas, but I'll be
there tomorrow night.
Speaker 4 (45:36):
It's very exciting.
Speaker 6 (45:37):
You are actually doing Aussie to the Bones, which is
like covers of some of our huge Aussie anthems that
have been massive over the years. Just before we get
to that, though, I just wanted to ask you a
really quick question because you have been busy over the
last couple of decades, and there's one opera that you
were part of it. I need a bit of an explanation.
Jerry Springer the opera.
Speaker 11 (45:59):
What was that? That was insane? It lasted for a
few months. It was very controversial. David Wenham played Jerry Springer,
Marcus Scream played Steve, and then there was this It
was just the two leads and it was all ensemble,
but it was it was a crazy thing. People walked
out because it was just too controversial. It was it
(46:19):
was like it was. It was very cool. It was
very very cool that was helping the City Opera house.
Actually wow, yeah, very very very very cool thing to
be a part of. But I've dabbled, guys, I've I've
put my hands in all different pies and and you know,
I've loved every second of it.
Speaker 1 (46:34):
Nathan dare I ask what your part in the Jerry
Springer musical was, because the famous thing, you know with
the Jerry Springer TV show is that just when you
think it's got completely insane, Jerry brings someone else out
and that's when things escalate and things start getting thrown.
Please tell me you were the surprise guest that got
brought out at the end and then started.
Speaker 11 (46:56):
Well, they had David and they had Marcus as the lead.
So we were just all on in that one. So
we got to dress up in all different things. I
think we'll we'll, we'll devils and then we'll angels, and
we're all over the place. Look, if you haven't seen it,
I think it's still playing overseas somewhere on the West End.
But go go and catch it. You'll you'll walk You'll
(47:17):
walk in with your expectations, you walk out and having
a great night if you have an open mind.
Speaker 1 (47:23):
You have an open mind, you're walking with expectations. You'll
leave furious.
Speaker 5 (47:27):
But we'll see.
Speaker 1 (47:29):
It's on tour for a reason, obviously. However, we can't
wait to have you back here. Nathan Foley brings Ozzie
to the Bone July twenty five, tomorrow night, Harmony German
Club in Abunda. Of course I can't wait to see there, mate,
really really excited to have you.
Speaker 11 (47:42):
And make sure that's in excess and John farn and
it's gonna be ready with a six piece rock and band,
so cannot wait.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
And make sure you get on the group chat with
the rest of the High five guys and you go, hey, hey,
let's make this is there a group chat? Is there
a message group chat? N?
Speaker 11 (48:00):
I don't know. You know what the funny thing is,
back when we're doing high five, we didn't even have
social media. A good point they found, thank thank goodness.
So I'd say thank God for that.
Speaker 1 (48:09):
That's a very good point. You're a gentleman mate. Great
did chat. We'll see you here.
Speaker 11 (48:13):
Great gods, have a great day.
