Speaker 1 (00:05):
Lucky Dip Bits Your Lucky Dip Baits Day's podcast with
Mal and Monty. Welcome.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
What have you got mons?

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Okay, I'm going today, So we just do a random topic.
One of us usually takes the steering wheel and chares
for each other and for you guys. The other day,
I was in the Chemist and in Walks Ian Thorpe,
Oh no way, yeah, and I was like room. It

(00:35):
was almost like I sped back into the past. Remember
how big Ian Thorpe was there for a time. He
was fucking huge and everyone was obsessed with the size
of his feet and just he was massive.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Did he hate being in the limelight. I think I
remember something about him really struggling with it. I don't
know if that's why he gave up whimming or I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah, I don't know. But I was like, oh my god,
Ian Thorpe. And then the guy round, I'm like, Thorpedo, Thorpedo,
I'm ninety nine percent sure that that's Ian Thorpe. And
then the guy called out Ian, which for a young
guy is extremely confronting to hear them call out Ian.
So I was like Ian Thorpe and he still had
the broad shoulders, and I'm like, what are you doing

(01:23):
with your life now? Like how do you go for?
Like he's probably doing investments or crypto or something like that,
do you know what I mean? Like he's not working
in a bakery or but he's probably in he'd be
in something that you would have had to make a
lot of money to then go into.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yeah. True, but that would be a burden being that recognizable,
especially like your country. Yes, everybody knows who he is.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Every got a generation, don't Yeah, no, the younger Jenda
like my boys would have no idea. But it's like
when I went out, this was even ten years ago now,
went out for dinner with Hamish Blake and just walking
into the restaurant and I just you can just see
because I would I walked behind him. As soon as
he would walk past, people be like that Hamish Blake,

(02:11):
that's Hamich Blake.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
That would be terrible.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
It would be It's because also knowing him, he's just
such a normal guy but so unbelievably recognizable, like it's
and also such an everyday guy that people feel like
they can approach him all the time. It just would
be so weird. But I just thought for Ian Thorpe,
like you were so well known and then you've just disappeared.
So I thought I'd do Australian celebrities who were once

(02:38):
very much in front of us and now nowhere to
be seen.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Love this Koshie, he's not doing Sunrise anymore.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
No, he hasn't done Sunrise for fucking years. Matt Shervington
does it now, Matt Shervington with the bulls, Yeah, with
the big dick, Yeah, Matt Shervington. Anyway, when I was
in hospital the other an ad came up, like the
daggiest out of all time for some financing, and Koshi
was on it, and I was like Koshi, like he

(03:08):
used to be in our room every single like we
used to be a sun Sam and I used to
be totally Sunrise and our best mates used to be
Today Show and they're like, you've lost your mind, like
Karl is the best thing of all time. And then
we swapped over to the Today Show. This is when
you would have your TV on all the time without
streaming services, and then we became a Today family. But
I was like, fuck he has Like Koshi was just

(03:31):
everywhere with Koshi's dad's jokes and stuff like that, and
now he's gone.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
I'm so surprised you had such a bone for karl
I remember at one stage thinking.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
I've got actual legit feelings for Carlson. I've met the
guy like once. And Sam's like, you can't have him
as your celebrity pass it's too close.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
Yeah, he's probably back then a good example of having
some sort of int factor or confidence or whatever to
just look at him.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
You wouldn't show someone a photo and people go, oh
my god, he's hot.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
No, No, it's the charisma and the Riz, the Riz.
It's the Riz. Okay, here's somebody else you haven't thought
of for a long long time. Mark Holden touchdown, touchdown,
And remember then he on Australian idol. He trademarked it

(04:37):
so every time they allowed him to use it they
had to pay him like one hundred grand or something
like that.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Touchdown. He has the opposite of Riz.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yeah, he got cancer at some point. Oh sorry, I
mean that doesn't take away the fact he doesn't have RIZ.
But yeah he was. Remember that it was Dicko. Who
else was like Marsia Heines, Marsia Heines and Mark Holden
that first season when Go the Fro was on. Yeah,
that's when Sam and I were getting together, and it

(05:09):
used to be our excuse to hang out, was like
come over and watch Australia Astra. Yeah yeah, and we'd
watch it on my tiny TV.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah, they were that was that season. I think the
controversial the Paulini thing she said to her choose more
appropriate clothing or shed some pounds. Oh my god, fuck
that was so full those times. I mean, look, I
even think of America's Next Top Model and stuff we
used to watch, and the plus size model was like
a size ten.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, totally. But also they're doing all those documentaries and
stuff on The Biggest Loser now as well, and just
how fucking full on that was. And it just wasn't
even that long ago.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
I know, it doesn't feel like that long ago, but
it was. And also that's someone who, if you can say,
gives you the eg but not like you know, like
they talk about it in a hotness way, like if
you like someone, then they give you the ick like
a relationship way. Tyra Banks, Yes, she gives me the ick.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
She was really nasty on that show.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah, but she's also a fucking idiot.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Sorry, to say that sounds to have that opinion.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
I see her on shows and she's always like overperforming.
She does these like you know, she puts on these
accents when she talks, like she'd be talking about something,
and then she'll go and I said, and she like
goes into this whole voice. I'm like, yeah, right, put
it away.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Okay. I haven't seen her on the screens for quite
some time.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
I'll send you something hate saved. I've hate saved a few.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Are you joking? You've hate saved Tyra Banks?

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Oh God, if you saw how many videos I had saved,
you'll die.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
That's so funny. Have you got a file called hate file?

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Do you think I would be filing anything? Or do
you think I've just got everything all over the gym?
Every Yeah, I know you're right, there's no order. Okay,
here's somebody else. Gabriela, chill me. Oh say about me?

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Nothing sweet about me? See that. It was a huge
song that everyone got around.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
That is a great song. I've got that on my
Apple Music. Do you really I loved that song. I've
said to the kids too. It's like she was Italian.
She was sixteen from danding On.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
I think yeah right, yeah, but like she it was like,
oh my god, it's going to be the next biggest thing,
and then just disappeared.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yeah, I wonder what she's doing.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
I don't. I know. I should have extended this and
gone what they're doing now? But I just didn't have
any Now we all know what I'm going to be doing.
Three am, all right, I've got three more. Someone you
haven't thought about in a long time. Mike Whitney, Who

I know, how random, but I was like, she was huge,
same similar to Thorpey two thousand Olympics. She was like
fucking everywhere and now you never hear from her the
next lie. Remember she was married to that other pole
vaulter and then they broke up. That was sad.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
I remember a naked photo of her doing the rounds, I.

Speaker 1 (09:10):

Speaker 2 (09:16):
I remember it being black and white, like an actual class.
Her body was Oh my god, if at escaped of
me where I looked fucking phenomenal, you'd feel vulnerable.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
But you'd also go it could be worse.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
I know, I know if it was a good picture,
you'd be.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, you'd be sight, you'd be slightly wrapped that you
were taking advantage.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Of a Tatyana Grigoryeva that that's a blast one.

Speaker 1 (09:44):

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Was ridiculous of me, But how silly, like what a
weird spot? Pole vaulting is? Like, how terrifying too.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
I there's two clips I've seen that have come up
recently of incidences at like championships and stuff where the
pole vaulter has thrown the what's that called.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
I don't know, big stick the stick, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
And it's hit like some because it's on the I
guess the athletics track, the track and field area or
whatever that it's gone off course. One hit like an
official went through the side of his shut up. Yeah,
and there was another one. I'll send him. I'll send
them to you.

idea to be fucking stick and fly into the air.

first time you did a flip on the balance beam, staring.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
