Speaker 1 (00:45):
What would be classified as weird merch.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Weird merch is what I'm about to tell you about.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
So at the Australian Open right now, you can get
lots of different merch with AO on it. You know,
they've got their little triangle and oh that's fair.

your t shirts and your hats.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
Why just singularly, I guess. I guess.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
So people are still going for signatures.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
But I think servings are pretty weird, right a joke?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Oh, I hadn't thought of that, maybe.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Very Do you use serving spoons for salad or do
you just use tongs? Yeah, we've got a bunch of
serving spoons, but we use tongs because it's so much
easier messing around with.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Well to toss.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
The only reason I own them is because I've been
gifted them from my mum, the older generation who used.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yeah, that's fine. She's proud of being a boomer.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
She'll tell anyone anyway.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Weird merchandise, I don't.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I don't think I've seen salt and pepper shakers.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Oh that is weird. What was that for?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
That was for a band.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Salt Pepper, the band Salt and Pepper. Because that's funny,
because that makes.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Sense from the knife and you bought something merchwise, not just.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
A yeah, hey, good morning. I I'm a big fan
of like the old underground techno music in the DJ
duo that sold bedtime slippers with their name on it.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Ah, and are you a slippers guy, brad Well.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
I bought them play eighty five dollars a couple of
years ago. But they fill apart after three to six months.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Oh well, that is a waste of money.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yeah, merch has never really made that movie.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Well, they've probably got those hotel ones. They fall apart
straight away and then they just pasted their name over it.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
And geez, I tell you what I've seen you. You
get into that rode quickly and you put your slippers
on it. Therefore you know that Jenny from Civic good
morning morning, Jenny. You have also purchased something that would
be considered weird.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Merchu not purchased. I. I do merch shifts, so like
if a band comes to Canberra abour contrast mean to
sell their merch for the night. Oh fun, it is,
It's really fun. I got into it because my mom
used to do it when I was little and it
sort of became inherited little family business, but it's really fun.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
It's agreed. So you've sold weird merch, then I have.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Held so so much weird merch. I thought. The weirdest
one that comes to mind is probably Thirsty Merk came
to Canberra and old g strings that thirsty for the Merk.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Oh that's a bit.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Drinking and after Sky and that kind of checks out,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
That he's a loose guy.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
He has a good time, he loves life.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
It also did Sushi Mango, which is like an Italian
and they had wooden spoons and one had like an
Italian swear that I'm not allowed to say, and the
Mama's Weapon.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
An episode like like really popular groups that you wouldn't
expect to sell, like crock Tibbits.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Oh yeah, the little you know, the little things in
your crop.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
Weirdly popular. People buy them because they think they're hilarious,
but I don't think anyone buys them intentionally. The use.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah, if you've just spent the Christmas and New Year
period alone, Oh that sounds sad.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
And you were thinking sad if you've gone through a breakup.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Yeah, it can be sad and.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Single for what felt like for ages.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Yeah, what was that in the end?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah, coming up to two years.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yeah, and it gets slowly and there is a loneliness epidemic.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Unfortunately, however, this could fix all your problems, and we
knew it was coming.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Well, they kind of existed like in a different form,
different form AI, but a different form.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
We'll think of the movie Her, yes, with is it
wakan Phoenix Joaquin, So think of that movie, but his
is just scarlet your handser, yeah, and is it it's
the future, right, so it really operates like a robot
with AI. Well we're there. If you have one hundred
(06:18):
and seventy five thousand dollars to spare, you could have
yourself a robot girlfriend. Now, of course they haven't sold
this robot girlfriend as just a girlfriend. It is being
sold as acting as a brand representative at a sales.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Booth for you.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
God, she's versatile, a companion for an elderly person, which
is quite nice, or as a romantic partner, so quite expensive.
It's one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars for the
model that can move, but you can start from twelve grand,
which is just a talking head and shoulders, which you
(06:57):
could put on the table, I guess, and talk to
at dinner. Yeah, and then there's a mid range model
that can be disassembled and packaged into a suitcase to
take with you.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
There's a lot of.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
There's stuff going on, isn't there.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
And we watched the video of this robot being spoken
to and it's creepy for me.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
I'm Maria, the flagship female companion robot of real Botics,
and I'm here to engage with you and share exciting
insights about our robots.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
What sets you apart from the other robots out there?
Speaker 6 (07:29):
Realics robots, including me, focus on social intelligence, customizability, and
realistic human features designed specifically for companionship and intimacy.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
One of those realistic human features is her running a
fingers through a hair as she's kind of like tilting
her head.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yeah, I'm just a girl like runs my fingers through
my hair.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Like Alicia Silverstone from Clueless.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
It's you know, she's very she's got a very twenty
twenty fourth face as well, like you know how at
the moment because so many yeah, yeah, because so many
young girls now they go and get their lips and
their nose and everything done, and the face lips and
stuff and the bowdogs in the forehead. So everyone kind
(08:18):
of looks the same now, and she kind of looks
like everyone.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
So your girlfriend could all companion or sales representative, or
just head and shoulders or something that fits in a suitcase.
Could just be like anything else that's currently living on
the Gold Coast.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Yes, yes, exactly right. Picture the girl on the Gold Coast.
That's what you got in this robot.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
My partner and I we were talking about old age.
Uh huh, because wow, I'm a skip and a hop
away from forty. Yeah, I'm just starting to accept that.
I've been fighting it as you.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Need you can't unfortunately I know.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
But I've been fighting for thirty nine. Okay, let's not
it's not five weeks. Let's not put time on it.
And we we're not that we've like closed it or completely,
but we've thought, like, you're probably not gonna.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Have kids, yeah, probably not, probably not.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
And then he's like, yeah, but who looks after you
when you're old? And I said, we're going to be
around in the time where robots will look after us.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Yeah, okay, couple dinks, oh not double income, no kids? Yeah,
just splash on your own.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Yeah, we'll have a great robot because he was like,
because you need kids to wipe your bottom when you're older.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I've not signed up for that for my parents. I
don't know about that.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
There's someone who's been living in OZ.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
That's Australia. It's living in OZ, not Austria.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
In OZ, and I like she's been going, as she claims, incognito.
She's done an interview with Well Now she's launching a brand,
so it's now time for her to talk about it.
She's been talking with the Daily Telegraph.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Do we know where in Australia she's been living. I
assume Sydney or Melbourne. It doesn't say I don't think
she's up in Townsville.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
No, no, no, she's not rock in Townsville, although she's near
a kmart so apparently.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
But there's like, there's a k Mart in Goulburn. You know.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
She calls the kmart the Australian Kmart. Fancy compared to
the US version?
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Are we going to call it?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Her name is Tyra Banks over the US. I think
the US is closed now. Anyway, she's been living in Australia.
Tyra Banks, host of America's Next Top model and a
model herself, has been quietly working on her startup ice
cream business. Do you want to know where the name
of the business is?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Sorry, start up ice cream business from Tyra Banks, the
model who used to yell at people on television for
being too.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Far, well for eating too much.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Let's get some classic classic Tyra. Because this show was
so toxic.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
So bad for all of us.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
But it was amazing, It was really amazing. But it
was really awful.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
I do know that all of America is booting for you.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Do you know that?
Speaker 5 (11:19):
And then you come in here and you treat us
like a joke. You come in here and look at
that and say, I can't read that.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
You read ten times better than half of those girls.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Over there, you do, and you come in here with
a defeatist attitude.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
I don't have a bad Maybe I am angry.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
I've men this stuff.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
I'm angry, which is why anybody you are right.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
They really nailed the sound effects too. Didn't know that
the growing sounds in the back of the bowl.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
It was how many seasons of that trash? And it
really is bad And people were treated so poorly that
we found out many many years later.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
I mean, but we didn't find out, yelled at them
on the telly. We knew that being treated poorly, and
every season we were like tuning in.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
She's fifty one now and yeah she's got her ice
cream business, which is a startup.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
So is it in Australia she's starting it? Yeah, how bizarre.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I guess it's going to be worldwide in the end.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
So tell us what it's called.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
It's called Smies and Dream. You know, because she did
the thing with her eyes, smizing. Smising was a big thing.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
SMIs and Dream. Yeah, but that doesn't.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
All lies and Dream ice cream.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Well, why does it need the end? It could just
be Smies Dream instead of ice cream.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
She said to open her ice cream store, the startup
SMIs and Dream at Darling Harbor. It's going to be
mid this year. For mid this year.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Oh, because they've ripped all that Darling Harbor stuff out,
didn't they. So she must be building a new one there.
Now you told me it's ice cream. Is it healthy
ice cream?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Or is it good ice cream?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
It doesn't say that it's healthy, It doesn't say that
it's good for us. It's just bad. This is just
what I got from the website. The most dreamy ice cream.
It incorporates ice cream, entertainment and dreams.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
What entertainment? Oh are they wrapped in like fantails?
Speaker 1 (13:15):
You know, and they've got I think you're thinking too
much about it. But she's calling it a startup. So
startup suggests to me that it's like, like it's innovational.
You know, there's an innovation yea, whereas I ice cream
we've had forever a long time.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Anyway, that's like me calling all the ice creams I'm
making in my house now that I have a ninja
cream here, startup. This is my startup ice cream because
it's the first one made in my house.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Apparently, she likes visiting Hoints that's super random, Target and Kmart.
She's obviously and she said, we also go to Cole's Woolli's.
She's practically Australian and from time to time she'll go
to Harris Farm. I get it.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Oh she's got money.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I never did that thing where like you you steal
something like I've never stolen anything, but I.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Never did that thing where you steal from.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
You know, when you're a kid and you learn that
you shouldn't steal, and generally kids learned that like my brother,
he stole chocky.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
A very little do you mean those small Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
So he stole a chocky and my mum realized he
sold chucky and then she made him take a bash
and apologize and obviously worded up the guy at the
sort of like scare him a little bit, and as
far as I know, that warded him off from stealing.
As far as I.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Know, Yeah, you haven't spoken to Zachary in a long time, so, oh,
we don't know what type of life he's living right now.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
He's got his second kid, So I think congrat zach.
I think I think he's done with the stealer. I
think he wrapped it up when he was like six.
But you do see a lot of these things online,
like in one of the camera noticeboard shop people might
put up photos of someone who's shoplifted and like if
you know this woman or can know this man.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
There was one from Bunnings in bell Connon the other
day and it was just like the perfect picture of this.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Woman who's been stealing things, like.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Someone because there was a woman who went into a
Bunnings recently and she just had a trolley and she
just did like her own version of supermarket sweep. She
spat on one of the staff members, which is vile, disgusting,
and then talk but it's like everyone can see your face.
You know that they have cameras here, cameras you would
(15:47):
assume that.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
They are true to cameras.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Well, there's a new way.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
New way to steal. Yeah, because we're not talking about.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Hearts no, no, no, which you're legally allowed to steal.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Legally, yeah, yeah, interesting term, legally with consent steal.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Glad to steal a heart like in love?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Yeah, physically stealing a heart?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Well, because pops on his last legs and you just
think that's dark. Yeah, it's a bizarre incident. It's at
a dollar store.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
It's in Florida, Thank you Florida.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
How do I? How do I explain this to you?
There's two people that came in and the guy went
around the back and he was looking around and he's
let's assume girlfriend or a partner in crime, partner in life.
Maybe maybe she distracted the store attendant.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Oh my god, did she flash him?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
No? No, she she squatted down. Where do you think
I'm going with this?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
What'so?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
We there's one or the other, which one do you
think she did?
Speaker 3 (17:08):
I really hope it's not poop.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
She pop on the.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
To distract so that they could steal.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
That they could steal with the trolleys.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
From a dollar store.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Yeah, so she went out one into the store and
she like crashed down. She was like, oh no, and
was crouching down and was pupping as you do. We're
so embarrassing because I guess, I guess it doesn't matter,
like you're already stealing. It's not like you're worried about
what people are going to think about.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
But she's still going to be charged for defecating in
a store, right.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Well, I think the way that it's been framed here
is that.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Framed.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Oh no, The authorities have named the suspects.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Oh, I'm so embarrassed everyone.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
They don't know their real names yet, but they want
people to come forward if you know either mister Clan
who's the one who who stole or Miss Dookie.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
At least they went kind of cute see with it.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Apparently the community is in shock and disbelief. Yeah. I think, well,
that's Florida.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
You shouldn't be in that much shock. This is pretty
tame for Florida. We've heard way worse stories out of Florida.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
But you know what, I often think like criminals, just
when you think like, oh, they wouldn't be doing like
they like in your brain and be like, well, this
woman's pupping herself. She wouldn't be doing that to steal something.
My brain would be.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Like, she wouldn't do that, Oh, but they would.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
And now we.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Would do your brother when he was six, well.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Maybe when he was six, because he was six. I
don't know if he would have planned it that way
You loose change menu has dropped it back is OMG
X one O four seven weird.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I don't buy a lot of merchandice, like from bands
or artists that I like or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
It's just not me, not a.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Big merch guy. One time I bought merch, it was
I was obsessed with breaking bad for a hot.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Oh your jacket, yeah, your hoodie that even I.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Bought it and it took ages to get here. It
was like an official one and then it just kind
of fell apart, like you know, I mean, like a
JJ shirt.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Yeah, yeah, I do. I have bought I has, come
to think of it, bought it a hoodie.
Speaker 1 (00:40):

So at the Australian Open right now, you can get
lots of different merch with AO on it. You know,

It does look a bit squid gaming.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
So they've got your standard, your tennis balls, your towels,
your t shirts and your hats.

Oh, they've got Australian open markers, markers, texters.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Why just singularly, I guess. I guess.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
So people are still going for signatures.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
But I think servings are pretty weird, right a joke?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Oh, I hadn't thought of that, maybe.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Very Do you use serving spoons for salad or do
you just use tongs? Yeah, we've got a bunch of
serving spoons, but we use tongs because it's so much
easier messing around with.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Well to toss.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
The only reason I own them is because I've been
gifted them from my mum, the older generation who used.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yeah, that's fine. She's proud of being a boomer.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
She'll tell anyone anyway.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Weird merchandise, I don't.

to Canberra and old g strings that thirsty for the Merk.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Oh that's a bit.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Drinking and after Sky and that kind of checks out,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
That he's a loose guy.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
He has a good time, he loves life.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
It also did Sushi Mango, which is like an Italian
and they had wooden spoons and one had like an
Italian swear that I'm not allowed to say, and the
Mama's Weapon.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
An episode like like really popular groups that you wouldn't
expect to sell, like crock Tibbits.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Oh yeah, the little you know, the little things in
your crop.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
Weirdly popular. People buy them because they think they're hilarious,
but I don't think anyone buys them intentionally. The use.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah, if you've just spent the Christmas and New Year
period alone, Oh that sounds sad.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
And you were thinking sad if you've gone through a breakup.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Yeah, it can be sad and.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Single for what felt like for ages.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Yeah, what was that in the end?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah, coming up to two years.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yeah, and it gets slowly and there is a loneliness epidemic.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Unfortunately, however, this could fix all your problems, and we
knew it was coming.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Well, they kind of existed like in a different form,
different form AI, but a different form.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
We'll think of the movie Her, yes, with is it
wakan Phoenix Joaquin, So think of that movie, but his
is just scarlet your handser, yeah, and is it it's
the future, right, so it really operates like a robot
with AI. Well we're there. If you have one hundred
(06:18):
and seventy five thousand dollars to spare, you could have
yourself a robot girlfriend. Now, of course they haven't sold
this robot girlfriend as just a girlfriend. It is being
sold as acting as a brand representative at a sales.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Booth for you.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
God, she's versatile, a companion for an elderly person, which
is quite nice, or as a romantic partner, so quite expensive.
It's one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars for the
model that can move, but you can start from twelve grand,
which is just a talking head and shoulders, which you
(06:57):
could put on the table, I guess, and talk to
at dinner. Yeah, and then there's a mid range model
that can be disassembled and packaged into a suitcase to
take with you.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
There's a lot of.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
There's stuff going on, isn't there.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
And we watched the video of this robot being spoken
to and it's creepy for me.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
I'm Maria, the flagship female companion robot of real Botics,
and I'm here to engage with you and share exciting
insights about our robots.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
What sets you apart from the other robots out there?
Speaker 6 (07:29):
Realics robots, including me, focus on social intelligence, customizability, and
realistic human features designed specifically for companionship and intimacy.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
One of those realistic human features is her running a
fingers through a hair as she's kind of like tilting
her head.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yeah, I'm just a girl like runs my fingers through
my hair.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Like Alicia Silverstone from Clueless.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
It's you know, she's very she's got a very twenty
twenty fourth face as well, like you know how at
the moment because so many yeah, yeah, because so many
young girls now they go and get their lips and
their nose and everything done, and the face lips and
stuff and the bowdogs in the forehead. So everyone kind
(08:18):
of looks the same now, and she kind of looks
like everyone.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
So your girlfriend could all companion or sales representative, or
just head and shoulders or something that fits in a suitcase.
Could just be like anything else that's currently living on
the Gold Coast.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Yes, yes, exactly right. Picture the girl on the Gold Coast.
That's what you got in this robot.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
My partner and I we were talking about old age.
Uh huh, because wow, I'm a skip and a hop
away from forty. Yeah, I'm just starting to accept that.
I've been fighting it as you.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Need you can't unfortunately I know.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
But I've been fighting for thirty nine. Okay, let's not
it's not five weeks. Let's not put time on it.
And we we're not that we've like closed it or completely,
but we've thought, like, you're probably not gonna.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Have kids, yeah, probably not, probably not.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
And then he's like, yeah, but who looks after you
when you're old? And I said, we're going to be
around in the time where robots will look after us.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Yeah, okay, couple dinks, oh not double income, no kids? Yeah,
just splash on your own.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Yeah, we'll have a great robot because he was like,
because you need kids to wipe your bottom when you're older.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I've not signed up for that for my parents. I
don't know about that.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
There's someone who's been living in OZ.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
That's Australia. It's living in OZ, not Austria.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
In OZ, and I like she's been going, as she claims, incognito.
She's done an interview with Well Now she's launching a brand,
so it's now time for her to talk about it.
She's been talking with the Daily Telegraph.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Do we know where in Australia she's been living. I
assume Sydney or Melbourne. It doesn't say I don't think
she's up in Townsville.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
No, no, no, she's not rock in Townsville, although she's near
a kmart so apparently.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
But there's like, there's a k Mart in Goulburn. You know.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
She calls the kmart the Australian Kmart. Fancy compared to
the US version?
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Are we going to call it?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Her name is Tyra Banks over the US. I think
the US is closed now. Anyway, she's been living in Australia.
Tyra Banks, host of America's Next Top model and a
model herself, has been quietly working on her startup ice
cream business. Do you want to know where the name
of the business is?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Sorry, start up ice cream business from Tyra Banks, the
model who used to yell at people on television for
being too.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Far, well for eating too much.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Let's get some classic classic Tyra. Because this show was
so toxic.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
So bad for all of us.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
But it was amazing, It was really amazing. But it
was really awful.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
I do know that all of America is booting for you.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Do you know that?
Speaker 5 (11:19):
And then you come in here and you treat us
like a joke. You come in here and look at
that and say, I can't read that.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
You read ten times better than half of those girls.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Over there, you do, and you come in here with
a defeatist attitude.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
I don't have a bad Maybe I am angry.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
I've men this stuff.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
I'm angry, which is why anybody you are right.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
They really nailed the sound effects too. Didn't know that
the growing sounds in the back of the bowl.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
It was how many seasons of that trash? And it
really is bad And people were treated so poorly that
we found out many many years later.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
I mean, but we didn't find out, yelled at them
on the telly. We knew that being treated poorly, and
every season we were like tuning in.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
She's fifty one now and yeah she's got her ice
cream business, which is a startup.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
So is it in Australia she's starting it? Yeah, how bizarre.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I guess it's going to be worldwide in the end.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
So tell us what it's called.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
It's called Smies and Dream. You know, because she did
the thing with her eyes, smizing. Smising was a big thing.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
SMIs and Dream. Yeah, but that doesn't.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
All lies and Dream ice cream.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Well, why does it need the end? It could just
be Smies Dream instead of ice cream.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
She said to open her ice cream store, the startup
SMIs and Dream at Darling Harbor. It's going to be
mid this year. For mid this year.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Oh, because they've ripped all that Darling Harbor stuff out,
didn't they. So she must be building a new one there.
Now you told me it's ice cream. Is it healthy
ice cream?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Or is it good ice cream?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
It doesn't say that it's healthy, It doesn't say that
it's good for us. It's just bad. This is just
what I got from the website. The most dreamy ice cream.
It incorporates ice cream, entertainment and dreams.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
What entertainment? Oh are they wrapped in like fantails?
Speaker 1 (13:15):
You know, and they've got I think you're thinking too
much about it. But she's calling it a startup. So
startup suggests to me that it's like, like it's innovational.
You know, there's an innovation yea, whereas I ice cream
we've had forever a long time.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Anyway, that's like me calling all the ice creams I'm
making in my house now that I have a ninja
cream here, startup. This is my startup ice cream because
it's the first one made in my house.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Apparently, she likes visiting Hoints that's super random, Target and Kmart.
She's obviously and she said, we also go to Cole's Woolli's.
She's practically Australian and from time to time she'll go
to Harris Farm. I get it.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Oh she's got money.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I never did that thing where like you you steal
something like I've never stolen anything, but I.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Never did that thing where you steal from.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
You know, when you're a kid and you learn that
you shouldn't steal, and generally kids learned that like my brother,
he stole chocky.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
A very little do you mean those small Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
So he stole a chocky and my mum realized he
sold chucky and then she made him take a bash
and apologize and obviously worded up the guy at the
sort of like scare him a little bit, and as
far as I know, that warded him off from stealing.
As far as I.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Know, Yeah, you haven't spoken to Zachary in a long time, so, oh,
we don't know what type of life he's living right now.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
He's got his second kid, So I think congrat zach.
I think I think he's done with the stealer. I
think he wrapped it up when he was like six.
But you do see a lot of these things online,
like in one of the camera noticeboard shop people might
put up photos of someone who's shoplifted and like if
you know this woman or can know this man.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
There was one from Bunnings in bell Connon the other
day and it was just like the perfect picture of this.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Woman who's been stealing things, like.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Someone because there was a woman who went into a
Bunnings recently and she just had a trolley and she
just did like her own version of supermarket sweep. She
spat on one of the staff members, which is vile, disgusting,
and then talk but it's like everyone can see your face.
You know that they have cameras here, cameras you would
(15:47):
assume that.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
They are true to cameras.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Well, there's a new way.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
New way to steal. Yeah, because we're not talking about.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Hearts no, no, no, which you're legally allowed to steal.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Legally, yeah, yeah, interesting term, legally with consent steal.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Glad to steal a heart like in love?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Yeah, physically stealing a heart?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Well, because pops on his last legs and you just
think that's dark. Yeah, it's a bizarre incident. It's at
a dollar store.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
It's in Florida, Thank you Florida.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
How do I? How do I explain this to you?
There's two people that came in and the guy went
around the back and he was looking around and he's
let's assume girlfriend or a partner in crime, partner in life.
Maybe maybe she distracted the store attendant.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Oh my god, did she flash him?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
No? No, she she squatted down. Where do you think
I'm going with this?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
What'so?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
We there's one or the other, which one do you
think she did?
Speaker 3 (17:08):
I really hope it's not poop.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
She pop on the.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
To distract so that they could steal.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
That they could steal with the trolleys.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
From a dollar store.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Yeah, so she went out one into the store and
she like crashed down. She was like, oh no, and
was crouching down and was pupping as you do. We're
so embarrassing because I guess, I guess it doesn't matter,
like you're already stealing. It's not like you're worried about
what people are going to think about.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
But she's still going to be charged for defecating in
a store, right.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Well, I think the way that it's been framed here
is that.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Framed.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Oh no, The authorities have named the suspects.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Oh, I'm so embarrassed everyone.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
They don't know their real names yet, but they want
people to come forward if you know either mister Clan
who's the one who who stole or Miss Dookie.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
At least they went kind of cute see with it.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Apparently the community is in shock and disbelief. Yeah. I think, well,
that's Florida.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
You shouldn't be in that much shock. This is pretty
tame for Florida. We've heard way worse stories out of Florida.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
But you know what, I often think like criminals, just
when you think like, oh, they wouldn't be doing like
they like in your brain and be like, well, this
woman's pupping herself. She wouldn't be doing that to steal something.
My brain would be.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Like, she wouldn't do that, Oh, but they would.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
And now we.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Would do your brother when he was six, well.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Maybe when he was six, because he was six. I
don't know if he would have planned it that way
