And I jump right in there, didn't.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
I Yeah, You're like, I'm out of here. But it
is your last week, Matt. It's been a wonderful couple
of months.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
It's been an absolute delight. Not as delightful as some
of the sport on the weekend. Brittany, I'm sure you
saw it the big news. What am I talking about?

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Cricket?

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Football?

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Is it the cricket everyone? I'm sure everyone listening right
now is as excited as I am because we won
game two of the Ashes.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
Very good. Good for AUS earlier, but I'm not into it.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
What a game by Stark, I mean seventy seven with
the bat. It's unheard of.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
This is why producer Grays and I said, what do
you guys want to talk about today?

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Matt goes, I'm going to surprise you.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
This is why the look on everyone's face right now.
It's like I've just talked about how exciting it is
when the paint dries. Anyone, did you producer Grace? Did
you watch the game?

Speaker 5 (01:23):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:23):
I didn't.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Okay, well, okay, it was I did.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
Watch my husband.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
My husband played football match this weekend, so that's about that.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
How do you go?

Speaker 4 (01:32):
They lost for Neil, but they were a player down
so they got a red card early on. They played
the entire match with ten people not eleven, which makes
a really big difference.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
I'm no a mathematician, but they're bad numbers.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
They're bad numbers. Yeah, it's not great, Mattie Ja.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
You and I have both had our time in the
South African jungle.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
We both hit on Cleverty to get me out of here.
Neither of us won. We did make it to the end,
like we made it pretty far.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
I do actually have a bone to pick with you, Brittany,
because I spoke thank you before I did I'm a celebrity,
which was this year.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Yeah, because I did it last year.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
And you were like, it's fine, You'll have such a
fun time.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yeah. Matt came in, He's like, should I do I'm
a celebt.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
I'm like, yes, I loved it. I came out of
the jungle and wanted to go back in. I couldn't
face real life anymore. Life was easier in there. It
was fun, no time, no stress, no bills.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Wow. I was mismanaged so severely. I remember going into it.
I thought it was going to be just like fun
from the get go. Within the first few hours, I
was thinking, oh my gosh, I have made a huge mistake.
I didn't love it as much as you, Brittany. I
was just hungry.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
It's different I think if you have kids, because I
think there's this pull at home that makes you miss
it a bit more, whereas I live with my dog,
so I was like, I'm not.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
Gone home do anything.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah, Delilah, I mean not the best dog.

Speaker 5 (02:47):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (02:48):
She's actually yeah, she's well.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
They're actually, for the first time, they're not filming it live,
and I have been paying attention to some of the
behind the scenes producers who were over there. Right now
in Africa, they are filming as we speak. I feel
like I'm a detective. By showing that information.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
Well, they're also I mean, there's very public information too.
They've dropped some very public hints a to who is
going into this season, and we want to try and
work out who it is.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
So have a listened to this first hint A rugby
league Romeo is going from dodging tackles to dodging frocks.
They won't be kicking goals in the jungle. They'll just
be kicking and screaming a rugby player.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Okay, I got it. Okay, and I will bet my
life on the fact that it will be Luke Bateman
on the show The Book toop guy, there she is.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
I'm getting professional rugby player. He wasn't a professional.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
He played NRL Canber Raiders shout out, Okay, the Raiders,
Big Raiders fan. I reckon. I guarantee he's got a
huge following because he now you know, he does his
videos where he's like covered in grease on a farm
tractor somewhere, but also talking about fantasy. The women go wild,
Luke Bateman producer Grace write it down, lock it in please.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
Okay, all right, well let's get a hint Number two.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
An international supermodel is strutting her way into Africa.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
She connected to rock and roll Royalty. Well we'll have
them Crocodile rocking. There's something shocking.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Do you know who?

Speaker 3 (04:19):
I think this is?

Speaker 4 (04:21):
Go hit me and I'm just trying to think. Now
she's connected to Royalty. I reckon this could be Tyra Banks.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
I was going to say Tyra because hit me go.
She needs the money.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
She needs the money.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
I don't know why she decided to make Australia home,
but she has, like she came here and set up
a business. She has an ice cream business. But I
just feel like in Australian media she's been everywhere this
year and she obviously was one of the biggest supermodels.
She used to run the Supermodel show, like the I'm
a model, Get me out.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Of here, produce a.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Model.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
I could be wrong, but I agree Tyra Banks will
be in Producer Grace.

Speaker 6 (05:00):
If it's filming currently though. Tyra Banks was at a
pub in Sydney performing her new Christmas song last night.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
I reckon she's already been kicked out, oh.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
Because it's been filming for a while.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
And I reckon, I'm gonna put two and two to
make sixteen. I feel like she will struggle in the jungle.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
I have also just tried to google if she has
a connection to rock and roll and she has been
in video appearances in like Michael Jackson and Tina Turner
and stuff.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
I have a list here, Brittany. Who I reckon? I
guaranteed Sarah Harris, former host of Studio ten and the
project she will be on there, I guarantee.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
I just saw her get papped on the weekend in
the Eastern Beaches, so I don't reckon at her. But
what about Melissa Lyng Because they've said a master chef.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Person NRL players and master chef. That's a bottomless pit
right there.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
But do you think that there's one that says a
jungle princess?

Speaker 4 (05:53):
Do you think they're bringing someone back that's done it before, because.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
What else is a jungle I reckon they would because
they'd be so hard to manage, because they would know
all like the behind the scenes.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
What could jungle princess mean?

Speaker 5 (06:06):
Though?

Speaker 1 (06:06):
I don't know because for anyone wondering, they are so
strict that even the only time you have any contact
with the production crew is to change your batteries. On
your mic pack and they are so strict that they
won't even tell you the time.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
Do you want to know? You know what, here's some information.
I'm going to tell you something that I did.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
I negotiated something when I went in that I said,
I will only come in if I have this one
luxury item.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Okay, what is it?

Speaker 3 (06:31):
It was a hair brush?

Speaker 1 (06:34):
What?

Speaker 5 (06:34):
What?

Speaker 1 (06:34):
How did you negotiate that?

Speaker 4 (06:35):
Because I have hair extensions and I said, guys, you
have to brush it or I'll end up ball like
I'll have to shave my head in there that we
are tempted to make that happen.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Did people know that you had that luxury?

Speaker 3 (06:45):
No one you except for I just told everyone.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Now, oh my can I also just add to my
list Byanka Die. You may remember her. She was on
the radio on the Gold Coast on the Golden Bachelor.
I think she'll be there. And I also want to
say Lincoln Lewis, So.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
That's who you think is the not And.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Matt Zakowski married to Tammy Hembro for five seconds?

Speaker 3 (07:05):
What category would that for? Under?

Speaker 4 (07:07):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (07:07):
Reality TV? Bad boy?

Speaker 4 (07:10):
And there is also a Reality Bridezilla that's maps. There's
always a mass which one could be any They're all.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
I can't wait to watch it. I'm super so excited,
Maddie J.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
Have you seen all the stuff around Quentin Tarantino kicking
off online?

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Because I love a bit of gossip, Britt, I love it. There,
I said it. I'll admit it.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
I don't know if this is gossip as much as
you said it earlier.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
Quentin has woken up and chosen war. He has been.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
Absolutely slammed by Hollywood, Like, I don't think I've seen
so much of Hollywood come out since the picketing riots
from the Writer's Protest.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
What was that, well said?

Speaker 3 (07:51):
I couldn't get you can tell. So.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
Tarantino made an appearance on the Brett eastern Ellis podcast
where he was naming the ten best movies of the
twenty first century. They were just having a discussion on
what they loved, but the discussion turned into who they
don't love.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
Have a listen.

Speaker 5 (08:07):
There Will be Blood would stand a better chance to
be in number one or number two if it didn't
have a big giant fly in it.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
And the fly is Paul Danna.

Speaker 5 (08:20):
He's just such a weak, weak, uninteresting guy.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
That just crazy.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
There's got to be like he's got to owe him
money or something. There's gotta be some reason why he's
come out and he's so aggressive.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
No, because he also it wasn't just that one attack.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
He also slammed Matthew Lillard, who who's that He was in.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
Scooby Doo, he was in Scream.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
He's like a really everyone knows him to do.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Not the best baggy Yeah, pretty bad.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
And also interestingly, Owen Wilson. He slammed Owen Wilson as well. Now,
I think Owen Wilson's a great actor, but Hollywood have
just said, you know what, you can't come out and
slam these like our colleagues out. There's almost like there's
an unspoken rule where you're just not supposed to do it,
Like you're not supposed to come out unless something huge
has happened or somebody's going to prison, or someone's done

(09:12):
something illegal, Like you can't just come out when you
are I guess as well respected and decorated as someone
like Quentin Tarantin, you know, like the world looks at
him to be such this incredible inspirational director that's done
all these amazing things. So when you come out and
say publicly, how bad an actor is that he's unnecessary
and unwarranted. You're literally impacting their career. But it's had

(09:33):
a backfire because like anyone who is anyone in Hollywood
has come out in force. Reese Witherspoon came out saying,
Paul Dano is an incredibly gifted, versatile actor, and more importantly,
he's a gentleman.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
I love that how everyone's come out and support of
Paul dan Those other actors don't. I haven't seen any
mention of them anywhere. Owen Wilson, no one's defending him.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
I actually had questions about that because we've got Josh
gadd and John Cusack, Ben Stiller, but so many different
people have pull Dano all Paul down.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Can I just say, though, you can't buy this type
of publicity, if you're pulled Dano, I mean you'd be
pretty happy with the result right now. I mean, I
would love it if anyone out there wants to critique
me and my radio hosting abilities, come for me, but
don't you attack me.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
I actually think it's gonna be interesting twenty twenty six
week pull down. As year you watch, he will be
cast in everything as almost like we will show you
kind of there.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
This is an amazing result for Paul. I think this
is honestly the best thing that has ever happened to him.
So he will be He'll be sending Christmas cards every
year to Tarantino being like, Hey, thanks so much for
those comings on the podcast that really gave me a
leg up.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
Well, Matthew Lillard has actually come out and made his
own statement. He was at like one of those comic
Con events and he said, the point is that it
hurts your feelings. It really beep sucks and you wouldn't
say that to Tom Cruise. You wouldn't say that to
somebody who is a top line actor in Hollywood.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
And I think that's a good point.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
And it just sucks that someone like Quentin Tarantino is
punching down so much. That's the part. I think it's
gotten a lot of people offside. But I love to
see Hollywood coming out in force.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Tom Cruise is pretty good actor, though, wasn't he. No
One's going to say that about him because he's just
so good.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
It's so shaggy, is he though?

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Indy Clinton, she is one of the biggest most followed
influences from Australia she's got millions, millions across TikTok and Instagram.
You've had her on the podcast before, Brittany.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
Yeah, she's like I guess she does like mum fluencing,
like mum top.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
She's married, beautiful husband, three kids. Yeah, but one of
her children. She has announced that she wants to change
the date of her birthday. Have a listened to what
she said?

Speaker 2 (11:38):
My third child, Solina, you have decided to change her.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
Birthday to the twelfth December.

Speaker 6 (11:42):
She was actually just too close to Christmas for my liking,
and I just I just thought, going forward, she's never
going to know we have officially changed. Genuinely, I cannot
think of a reason why this would be bad.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
I know why more people don't do it.

Speaker 4 (11:53):
This is kicking off online. Can I tell you maybe
this is controversial? Yeah, I'm not mad about it.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Neither am I to be.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
I think it's sort of okay.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
I think can I just ask really quickly, when is
your birthday?

Speaker 3 (12:07):
I say this, I'm good, I'm August. I'm like the
middle of the year. There's nothing around my.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Birthday, Okate, that is a great time to be born.
I am July sixth, which like great, not mad. About it.
Apparently I read in an article it was done by
The Guardian December sixteenth is the worst date to have
your birthday.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
Apparently by the sixteenth, you'd think like December twenty five
would suck way more.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
All the twenty fourth, or the twenty sixth or the
thirty first.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
Look, hey, don't shoot the messenger. I'm just telling you
what I heard. But I think December eighteen it's a shocker. Well,
we have soccer a birthday.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
We have someone in the room with quite a lot
of experience in this producer.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
Grace is actually born on let me see if I
can remember it, the twentieth of December.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
Correct, Yeah, so it's Grace's thirtieth next week.

Speaker 4 (12:53):
Yeah, how do you feel because you had your party
last weekend?

Speaker 3 (12:58):
And that's because no one wants to come to you.

Speaker 6 (12:59):
High Literally my entire life, I've struggled having a birthday
so close to Christmas because everyone's either having their family Christmas,
their work Christmas party, they're away for the holidays.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Oh my gosh. Yeah, what was that like growing up?

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Look, my dad's the twenty third as well.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
Oh my god, generational you had to.

Speaker 6 (13:19):
Share it, No, but my parents were very good at
making it feel special because my dad knew what it
was like kind of thing, and he was very They
were very good at separating the events and separating presents
and whatnot.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
It was more just everyone's away.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
But I think growing up it's like not even the
present part because like you're always going to get the
extra presents. But it's like what you just said, it's
like when you're a kid, you never really get to
have the parties because no one's there like you are,
well and truly on school holidays, every family is away
or they just like they do not have the capacity
to take their kid to a birthday party at that time.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
So would you change the date that you have the
birthday party?

Speaker 5 (13:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (13:50):
I do often, especially if I've got.

Speaker 6 (13:52):
A big one, like a thirtieth I'll just pick a
random date in November or the start of December and.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Just go with that.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
You're not stuck to a particular no.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
No, no.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
Grace called her birthday on the weekend, happy almost thirtieth.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Almost thirtieth. I don't know that or a fake birthday.
It's fun too.

Speaker 4 (14:07):
I think it's okay. I don't think she's legally changing
her daughter's name. I don't think she can. But I
think she's like, hey, it's not going to hurt anyone
if I just celebrated a bit early, but people are
kicking off about it.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
My only bit of criticism here as she says, well,
she's never going to know, she'll have to know it. Well, look,
at some point she will get an ID card to
and be like, hang on a second.

Speaker 4 (14:28):
December twelve, Yeah, because I think her kid, I think
soul the kids she's speaking about, I think she's like three,
maybe she's very little, but like, you can't just lie
to her forever, like the truth has to come out
at some point.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
And to everyone out there who was born in December,
my heart goes out to.

Speaker 4 (14:42):
You, can you just tell me why does this say
why the sixteenth is so bad?

Speaker 3 (14:46):
Because I just feel like this worst a.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
I don't know. I'm sorry, I don't have the answer
that I'd love to know as well. I'd love to know.

Speaker 4 (14:52):
I would have loved you to google that when you
brought that fact. Producer Grace is googling, and I can tell.

Speaker 6 (14:57):
Apparently December sixteenth is the worst birthday fall close to Christmas.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
No, there are worse dates than the sixteenth.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
Sorry, that's so dumb. I don't believe that.

Speaker 4 (15:05):
All right, Well let's get out of here either way.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
I want to go home.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
But if your birthday is December sixteenth, please I have
a great birthday, and you are more than welcome to
change that. We advocate for that absolutely.
