Speaker 1 (00:04):
The Will and Woody podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
French President Emmanuel Mahon has been filmed stepping off a
plane and his wife Brigite, who worth mentioning was his
teacher at school. Everyone's mentioning, Okay, she's just bridgid, no
backstory required. She is also getting off the plane and
(00:30):
she's been filmed like physically pushing him in the face,
like slapping him on the chest like it looks like
they're in the middle of a bit of a heated
fight for mine will. And then it's funny like Emmanuel
sees a camera. If you see the footage, Emmanuel like
side eyes a camera and realizes what we're getting filmed,
(00:52):
and then he just starts smiling.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yeah, everything good here.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
And then.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
On the if you don't know what actually Emmanuel Macron
sounds like this was actually him when he had a
trip to Australia. He was thanking Malcolm Turnbull for his
stand Also thanks Malcolm's wife.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
But I wanted to send you for you and your
delicious wife for your one welcome.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Maybe he was calling the hostess delicious on the plane
and that led.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
To the fight.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Delicious wife, I think a delicious wife.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I think we can all agree though, whether it was
calling the hostess delicious or not, that most of our
fights that we have with our partners is on holiday.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Yeah, you can have some stinkers on a trip, no
doubt about it.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
There stepping you traveled with him would say, I couldn't
agree more.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
And I don't know what it is about holiday.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I think when we go to set off on a holiday,
we've got such high expectations of what this holiday is
going to be that if our partners is different to that,
it can lead to some real fireworks.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Thirteen one oh sixty five is the number I do
want to hear about some epic travel fights.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
You're the breakup king on a holiday.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
My dad actually on my wedding day said that holiday
was with me was the kiss of death. It's a
weird thing to bring up at my wedding, but he
then went into the fact that, yeah, I've had three
breakups on a holiday.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Yeah, and I think so for me.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
It's like when you're on a holiday again, you have
this idea in your head of like what you want
from the holiday, and then when that conflicts with your
partner's idea of what it is on a holiday, that
has just never gone very well for me outside of
with my wife of course, Will of course we holiday beautifully.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Do you think that there's an element maybe with those
past relationships that you were successfully hiding who you actually
were from them for the majority of the relationship, and
then when you were one on one with them, you know, actually,
this is so weird.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
That's exactly what my therapist said. And also holidays for
me for a long time you said, so you can't hide,
and there's twenty four seven times together. I think holidays
for me has always been a time to like decompress,
and then all of a sudden you're there with a partner.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
That maybe I don't understand you, and then you've got
to try and put in an act and then you go, no,
youre not. I've had enough of this and I'd rather
suffer a huge fight than continue to lie to myself
about who I am.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Totally, and I would find myself.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Borrow from your therapist totally.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Thanks for taking me back there.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
I love putting you in therapy on it.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
The tough situation is when you break up with someone
on holiday, if anyone else has done that, is that
then you've got this weird conversation around do we barrel
on with the holiday even though we've broken both paid
to be here or should one of us leave?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
And which one should that be? And who's paying?
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Well, that's why you became a quantous platinum fly I
just absolutely booking your exes back home from all over
the world. Yeah yeah, bloody, can I guys me again? Misler?
Welcome back? Who would you like to fly back business
class again? Is it?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
But anyway, but outside of the breakups that I've had
on holiday, even with my wife Mim like that, holidays
is probably the time where we have our biggest fights
as well.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I remember in when we were going.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Through the US, he had a huge fight over whether
we should go to Disneyland or not.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Right, And imagine you were pro, No was pro.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Mim wanted to go to disney and I was very
anti Disneyland because I don't like making plans when I'm
on holiday.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
I forgot how much of a dream you are.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
While we were overseas, we were just going for it,
just like big fight, and then it became a fight
over like, okay, so if you want to go to Disneyland,
you go to Disneyland. And I want to do that
thing rights walk around the streets and to stumble into things.
But then it was a fight over who gets Remy, Like.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Remy was over there with you, there with God. I
thought you were saying in general, no, I thought it
was a custody fight. I thought it was a custody
fight over Disneyland. You were in front of the court,
all right, so why what is it? Irreconcilable differences? We
couldn't figure out whether or not we should go to Disneyland,
and you're here to discuss the custody of your child
because of that.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
So no ready for the day. So anyway, that was
a big fight.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
That's a shocker. I had one we didn't actually h
I'll tell you this after the song because I'm sure
some other people have got some great calls. So thirty
one and six five best or worst fight you've had
on a trip? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I've got one
where we we hilariously were trying to do the same
activity for the rest of the day, but it was
like a Mexican standoff. Neither of us wanted to give
(05:20):
up on the activity, but we decided not to talk
all the way through.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
It really happens to all the whole day thirteen one
o six five biggest fights with your partner while you're traveling,
while you're on holiday. Dad is against like taxis when
he's overseas, like he's.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
More a great to travel. He's like, no plans, no taxis.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
He's like, we're in this city once in our lives.
Why wouldn't we enjoy the streets.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I go for a walk.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
I'll never forget my mum saying we're pretty far from
the hotel. I think we need some public transport. It's
late Steve and he goes, no, why I'm walking, And
then the rest of the family gets in the cab
and Dad walks. It took him six hours to walk home. Now,
so he was on the other side of the city
and he got the last and he still said.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
I had a lovely night going for affordable. We're in London.
We're in London and you wanted to walk or no.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
You can't walk around London's here on thirteen one oh
sixty five and we're talking travel fights.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, what happened?
Speaker 6 (06:21):
Well, we have got kids, so you don't travel and
not fight.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
We've got out kids.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
But I went back to one of the worst fights
we've had, but because of my husband's history, we've staying
in car accidents. He has to be the driver when
we go on holidays. He won't let me drive.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Pretty classic dad play. That isn't it that dad drives?
Speaker 6 (06:44):
But yeah, going in and so obviously i'm passenger keeps
in the back. But as we drive like ol drip
because sometimes the trips are really long and he gets
really angry about me falling asleep, but he won't let
me drive.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
That's an interesting fight, though. What are your thoughts on
like when I'm driving, Like I drive you home from
the beach a few weeks ago, I feel like you
did not off during that during that drive. No, I'm
again I don't think.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
The passenger's husband's team here.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Well, I don't like you didn't give me a choice.
I don't like the like he doesn't let her drive.
But I think as a passenger it is your role
and responsibility to uphold conversation with the driver.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
She didn't have a choice.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
No, that is fair, that's fair.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Like she's put she's been told that she has to
be the passenger.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
But are you the navigator when you're the passenger? Will
you still have you still have a job the cradle
that's going to come in here come. And this was
a recent fight on holiday.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Super recent, like just a week ago.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Oh wow, okay fresh one freshman.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Super fresh. So like the family still not talking. Yeah,
So what happened was we went to South Africa. It
was my brother's wedding and we'd booked with my parents,
my husband, myself, and our toddler to go all over together.
And we were there for a month and the last
(08:15):
forty eight hours, my husband decides that he's had enough
of my dad's controlling behavior and decided to go m
Ia for forty eight hours. And literally on the day
that we are meant to fly back to Sydney, get
a call to say he's in hospital. He ended up
at a casino, had too many drinks, tripped over something
(08:38):
and needed to turn staples in the back of his head.
And that was literally hours before we had to be
at the airport make fly. It was disastrous, and then
it just kept yeah, and then he met us at
the airport on time. For God, but it just kept going.
Like the whole fly was like a disaster. He chose
(09:01):
to see it on a different aisle.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
It was just a week ago, a week ago.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Just a week ago. Yes, yeah, so we packed.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
His bags coming then, like, if he's gone straight to
the airport after having a stack at the casino, are
his bags still in South Africa?
Speaker 3 (09:17):
No? So I packed everything. I packed everything up and
took it with me, and it was like, well, if
he's not there, then I'm going to have to just
leave it because I don't have the extra.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Allow it.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
And he was in such a mood. He was like,
I'll just buy a new close.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
It's fine, and I was just like, corigible, aren't they It.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Was awful and my dad was, yeah, of course, yeah, everything.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
It's a long flight. It's a long flight home.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
It was a long flight and it's been a long
week since.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
You still hear that coming voice and I feel for
you speaking of me being courageable. Ever says yes, so
I mentioned this beforeward. So I went to a ski
resort and my partner seeing in Japan. She's a great skier, yes,
very good at which is much better at sports than me,
which is already humiliating. I decided I was snowboarding because
I'm you know, I'm a low pant riding cool guy.
(10:12):
I'd never snowboarded in powder before. I'm not sure's ever
been in Japan. It's kind of famous for having this
like Caster sugar style snow, which is traditionally very hard
to navigate, particularly on a snowboard. But again, I'm encourageable.
I'm a man chipping my shoulder about the fact that
my partner's better at sports than I am.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I don't need ski school. I'll get straight out.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Mate, take me to take me off piece, as they
would say. So we're going down a standard run. Sam said,
I'm going to go off piece. Anyway, I went down
off piece, So what is off piece?
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Mean?
Speaker 5 (10:40):
Off the trail? So you just it's just trees and
like caster sugar snow, I take one turn, I go under.
And when I say I go under, I mean like
the snow is over my head. I cannot reach my
bindings and the snow is caving into the hole in
my face. It is so hectic. I was like, I'm
going to die here in the snow. In Japans people
get buried, right.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
So I started screaming. I'm like Sam, Sam, you know,
finally she's heard me. So she stops getting she walks
up the slope and I'm like, Sam, can you just
pass me one of your poles. You're gonna have to
drag me out of here. I was like, you knows,
we might have forget the scado up here and drag
me out the ze. She reaches down and then instead
of grabbing her pole, grabs her phone out and takes
(11:21):
a photo of me in the snow.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
I've seen the shot. It's a great photo.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
We did not talk for the whole day. That was
the first thing in the morning. We skied all day together,
to the point where some of the ski some of
the chairlifts at the snow resort with massive so like
half an hour on the chair yea. And we would
sit on there with a stranger and the stranger would
only figure out like twenty minutes into the run. Oh
(11:46):
you guys actually know each other. You just wouldn't talk.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Bloody hell.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
It is a great it's a great.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Right now, though, I want to talk about parent teacher
horror stories. This come out the other day. I kind
of just mentioned in passing that I used to go
to my parent teacher interviews parent teachers when they get yeah,
what did I have an undone one? There? Our girls
are on the twos? Is that why they do the
timer on the because there are like ten minutes appointments,
aren't they?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Like speed daddy? So you've got a little boy, go
to the next teacher.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
Yeah. I used to go to the parent teacher interviews
for who for me?
Speaker 7 (12:33):
That is?
Speaker 5 (12:34):
That is just so you?
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Is it?
Speaker 5 (12:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Well, mate, I said to you before you volunteer, did
you volunteer distribute?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I would like to hear the three sixty feedback to
my face.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
I was like, ready to go. I'd get in my
school uniform, ready to go. School uniform. I gift. I
was God's gift to academia. I walked it. I walked
into that joint and you could you could hear the choir.
He's here. All we want to do is tell them
how good he is.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, it was great.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
I'd sit there and get the.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Report card and it was always good.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
It was awesome. This was obviously it was really was
just the best way for me to feel good about
myself was going to a parent teacher. Was in front
of my parents, going like, hey, guys, check it out.
These guys think I'm awesome. You think I'm awesome. It's
pretty good.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
That's ice cream on the way home. I reckon, Oh.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
Dude, say something inappropriate. But yeah, yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
It's a bad night for me, shocking night for me.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
I obviously would not did you you You wouldn't go, buddy,
no way, But I know I know what the soundtrack
would be while your parents were there. This is your teacher, budd.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
It was a tough night for mom and dad as well.
They know they're going to get a baptism of five.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
There's so many different layers to this. There's a reason
they're so confronting. It's confronting for the kid. Yeah, it's
confronting for the parents because oven they're going, yeah, if
they're if their kids are spud like you were, Yeah,
they're rocking up, going I don't want to hear how
crab my kid is.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
But at least they're expecting it. There was there was
zero optimistic to be not.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
A great yeah, just to hear how much of a
shit kicky your kid is. That's really got to suck.
And then on the other side, the third angle on
this is the parent. It's the teacher. Sorry, the teacher's
got to go. I've got to tell some kids parents
something that they probably like, because if you if you're
a crap at school. Yeah, yeah, I imagine. I mean,
(14:30):
I've never been in this position, they'll ask me. But
I imagine you're lying to your parents a lot of
the time about how you're going. Oh sure, I got
very good at forging like a D into a B.
You just put a little line and you check, you know,
you check a plus on there.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Yeah, I'll go kind of thing. But I'll never forget that.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
So my parents would come home from parents teacher interview
and I would TV off, bolt to bed because I've
got to pretend to be asleep, and in my head,
I'm like, overnight, they might just forget how bad I
am as a child.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
And I never forgot. They woke me out one night
and they were like, why are you telling your French
teacher that you're German? And I was like, apparently, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
I didn't remember this, but I used to tell my
because my French accent was so bad. It's always trying
to do the accent. I used to tell them I've
got German in my family, so the German's probably coming
through and so he and then he backed off and
he was like, oh, totally to get it.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
You got German in your family. Ba da da dah.
And then the French teacher apparently said, which one of
you Germans?
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Oh that's great? All right, Well look, I would love
to hear from you guys thirty one and six five.
This is a horrific experience for everyone, I imagine. Apart
from if you are God's gift to academia, there was
one time my dad rocked up and absolutely roasted my
math teacher for not pushing me hard enough. Oh my god,
and he wore his pin down to a nub by
the end of the interview. Yeah, yeah, really scared him.
(15:46):
He resigned pretty quickly after that. Don't mess with the
prodigy like you know you've got You've been given a
gift here, mate, you know, yeah, yeah yeah, make him
realize his potential.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
That teacher should have put their hand hup and said
he has surpassed me. I can't, I can't handle.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
And hands me the chalk passing at the batman, William,
Would you like these children? So I saw it? Keptain
poop pants about this, pooey. Can you hear me out there?
Poo I think we are on The producers are listening
just gervel checking is not poo.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
By the way, that's a trial trial happy.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Sounded like you love it as well. He was a
gun to your head. I can pretty much see you
the gun. Hey, hey, poo, apparently you have a story
and made of yours. It was a teacher is the teachers?
Speaker 7 (16:41):
Yes, one of my friends as a teacher, and he
was trying to figure out why this kid who he
had in your nine was quite bad at maths. Ma's teacher.
I couldn't figure out how, like where this is all
going wrong? And he sits the parents down with the
kids and kid and says, you know, Joe, he's not
doing great at mass.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
It's actually really bad.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
In his last maths test, he's called thirty percent and
the dad goes thirty percent out of what.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
App from that's a tough moment for the Teachery, what
do you do with that?
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Hey? Thirteen one and sixty five? Give us care? We
got him. We're talking parent teacher interviews, horror stories. Joe,
your mum was your teacher?
Speaker 7 (17:28):
Yeah she was?
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Oh no, so how does the parent teacher work?
Speaker 6 (17:32):
There?
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Is it just one on one?
Speaker 6 (17:34):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (17:34):
Look, you know what was funny? She had to write
reports to herself about my performance and hers.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Was she honest, Joe? Was she honest?
Speaker 5 (17:43):
That's amazing, Yeah, she was honest.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
I couldn't believe they made her do it. But parent
teacher was every day for me because I was a
really crappy, naughty student. And she used to come home
and go, do you have to do this to me?
It's your maths teacher. Where did you wack?
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Because she's made with the other teachers.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
Of course, yes, she's the copy in the staff room.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Oh, because you were such a bad student. Oh that's tough.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Did she ever have to get angry at you in class?
Because that, like, that's a tough situation.
Speaker 8 (18:14):
All the time. So I used to derailer. So when
there was a test. I remember once there was a
really hard Italian test and I naturally can speak Italian,
and I threw up in arms and I said, this
is crap, and everyone goes, yeah, this is crap.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
Did you say that in Italian? This is crap? Yeah,
something Italian? This is crap?
Speaker 8 (18:35):
Question murder.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Oh that's beautiful. Good.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Did you would you call your mom mum in class?
Or would you call her like you did so condescending?
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Joe.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
I'm going to be honest Angela thirteen one oh six five.
You're not respecting the teacher when someone's going the mum.
Oh no.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Why do you remember though in kindergarten when you accidentally
called the teacher? Did you ever do that?
Speaker 5 (19:01):
And it was like I need to that ever primary
school that was? That was a move school of fens, change.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
My identity, get out of the stated.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
Oh that's right out there with wearing your school uniform
on Jan's for Jane's day. Let's just get out of school.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
And then you don't tuck your shit. No sedual question.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
And we're talking parent teacher interviews and the horror stories
around them. Whatever you go for us.
Speaker 9 (19:31):
Look, when I was young, I was always a troublemaker
and scouse one with the lad math, always mucking around,
and my teachers every single time would be like, look,
that's it. And when I get to your parents, when
we have this parent teacher interview, we're gonna have this
big chat. I'm going to pull you up on your behavior.
But my parents were deaf, so I actually would be
attending these parent teacher interviews and translating, so not only
would they not only would it guilt trip them, and
(19:53):
all of a sudden they just were really sorry for me.
But if it was really bad, I just would downplay
it and make out like it wasn't that bad because
I was the one translating amazing. Yeah, only did I
guilt trip them, but really changed it a little bit too.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Well.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Is unbelievable.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
I mean, like, you know you are gaslighting your folks?
Who are you know disabled? That's that's all the power.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
I focus on that part of It's genius and it's brilliant.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Can I go back to I am interested. She might
have even get it back because I'm to know surely
that's coming handy.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
For her whenever the police broke up at the house
and talked to the parents, and she's like, oh, that
is here to let you know that I'm a good citizen.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Right, surely has come up for more than once. Great
angela parent teacher, parent teacher horror stories. What do we
go for us? Well, my parents thought I was like
the perfect student because they were immigrants and my dad
was always working.
Speaker 8 (20:48):
So my mom I never told them when it was
on Oh yeah yes, so.
Speaker 9 (20:53):
They never attended.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
And when MoMA I showed my mom my grade I
was like, yeah, that's a good grade.
Speaker 9 (20:57):
That's a good grade. She couldn't read, so she was like, Okay,
that's good, that's.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Brilliant.
Speaker 5 (21:02):

Speaker 8 (21:02):
It all came to a head when I didn't make
it to UNI and they were like, what do you
mean how you touch it or make it to university
when you've been a good stutot hal.
Speaker 9 (21:09):
In high school?
Speaker 1 (21:11):

Speaker 5 (21:18):
Reuben Styles is in the studio with us. Great to
have your hear robes. Well, Hello, Hello, happy to be here.
You've got some new gear coming out with yoga right now,
which means you're only great always. That's an acronym's beautiful stuff.
(21:41):
I know you started yoga because a friend of yours
lost their life to suicide, which is tragic, man, but
that's what's beautiful. That you're making music in that vein
with that kind of feeling, time attached to all of it,
and you can hear it. This is forever hold your gun.
It's out now. Really leaning into this almost it was
(22:05):
like a bit of a like a country sort of
a theme coming through all the tunes. Man, what's yeah
going down that dusty road? Ah? Very good, very good,
very good.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
It's been absolutely unreal and I've slowly just you know,
become one with many great Aussie country artists, and I've
been It all started, I guess in about twenty twenty
where I did this song Hubs in Brisbane Country, and
I did it because I was in love with Western
music and spaghetti Western films obviously like all the Clin
(22:36):
Eastwood stuff, but I also such high quality musicians in
the country space, like you don't need to put tuning
on their vocals. They've done three thousand gigs like they
have done the rounds. Yeah, and they can play guitar.
They can play and sing unlike anyone, and so naturally
I'm just I want to make these dance songs, but
I want them to sound and feel like you know,
(22:57):
they could be country songs.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
That's sick recently that you So, You've got a new
song featuring Jimmy Barnes called coming Up I'm gonna play.
I know we're probably getting everybody very excited to hear Simioga.
We are going to play for a holder gun in
full in a second, though, I want to know before
(23:19):
we get to that though. Roofs Apparently there's a story
about how you and you asked Jimmy to collab. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Look, I had this idea.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
I made it with Blake O'Connor, who's a ripping ossie
country artist who lives in Nashville. He was just ripping
on the party Heart playing the harmonica and I was
just putting in some dance feats and next minute we're
in this session in Redfern in Sydney and we were
just dancing our ass off and he goes, dude, imagine if.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
We got Jimmy Barnes on this song. And I was like, dude,
imagine that that would be nut.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
And I thought, I wonder if someone knows him and
it turns out like my manager at the time, he
was like, I don't.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
Really know him or his manager.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
I just went on Jimmy Barnes dot com and hit
up no, you hit the contact button on Jimmy Barnes's website,
the contact button on Jimmy Barnes dot com, and it
ended up. I sent an email and I gave the
full spiel. I was like, Hey, I'm also one half
a Piking Duck. This is like and and here's a
link to this song. You know, have a sas and
(24:21):
feel free to you know, pass this on to Jimmy. Anyway,
Jimmy's manager hit me and said, I've passed this on
to Jimmy. Next day, I get a call from a
private number and I'm like, I would never answer a
private number, but for some reason, I did something told
me I had to answer it, and I just hear hey,
hey roops, and I was like I was like, uh what, sorry,
(24:44):
who's this? And he goes, it's Jimmy, Jimmy Barnes. I'm like,
oh my god, I could not believe it, and he goes,
I'll like the song, Let's do it next Wednesday.
Speaker 8 (24:54):
WHOA.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
Two pm.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
That day I was there at his studio Botany and
next minute he walks in.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
I reckon, we've spent twenty minutes recording. That's how on
this guy and just let it rip and he goes
need anything else.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
I'm like, man, we've got.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
More than enough already.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I know this is incredible, and.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
Then he's like, sweet, I gotta go.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
I was like, that was just the most in I've
never seen professionalism of that level before, like bam, And
it's still to this like every single time I play it.
It's the most heaving song in the set. Yeah, I
don't know if it's if it's the harmonicer, if it's
that dance speed, or if it's what a Jefmy is
and that's Jimmy.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
When you're on tour, do you throw out the invitation
to Jimmy to come on stage and belt it out
with you on stage?
Speaker 5 (25:45):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Yeah, I've tried every single show, but he's got that contact,
like roughly three hundred shows a year. Yeah, he's got
to be the hardest working man in the industry.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
He had been in the studio last week and he
also like he nearly died recently.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
Yeah, he's awesome. I'm so glad.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Did you accidentally delete all of your numbers in your phone?
Speaker 5 (26:07):
Mate?
Speaker 1 (26:07):
I didn't do it.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Apple bloody did this, and it is so annoying. You know,
I had some really cool friendships I was trying to
maintain there and Apple has just it was it happened
about eighteen months ago, destroyed every single number in my phone.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Who's the number one the number one contact that you
miss most out of your phone?
Speaker 5 (26:26):
I was gonna say one which I've really really.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
Would have hated to lose, would have been Liam Hemsworth
because I thought that was the coolest one there and
I was like, that's the big one for sure, that's
like the big ticket items in there.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
And so how often were you texting Liam though?
Speaker 4 (26:47):
When you did have his number riven whenever there was
a UFC fight, I'd be like, oh, this is my
chance to text him.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
So you you bond over UFC with Liam Hemsworth.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Look, I'm just a Liam Hemsworth fan and any excuse
to say good a.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
I think this is a big shout out to Liam
Hemsworth if you're listening. Rubens lost your.
Speaker 6 (27:10):
Number, so.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
Every time that you got a message, so every time
that you got a message, roobes and you couldn't see
like obviously didn't know who was from was your it
was random numbers and then message back immediately though, like Liam,
what this is the weird thing? I could scroll up
and I'd have to scroll up to the very top
of the history to then try figure out the pieces
(27:36):
of who.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
It might be.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
That's fun, that's fine, so.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
That you know what, it was a bit of a
fun game for the people that you know decided to
reach out to me, but for those that have left me,
you know, alerts like dust in the Wind.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
I'll never get back to them. I don't think we've
texted since, Rubes. And you know, it does feel good actually,
just having knowing that you can't reach me anymore. I'm
gonna be honest, man, it was so.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Yeah, it's really love actually that for a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
There was a petition at Apple. It was like delete
all of his numbers.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
This guy just calls his mates to say good night.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
If you do that, I don't miss those phone calls
them at all.

The Will and Woody podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
French President Emmanuel Mahon has been filmed stepping off a
plane and his wife Brigite, who worth mentioning was his
teacher at school. Everyone's mentioning, Okay, she's just bridgid, no
backstory required. She is also getting off the plane and
(00:30):
she's been filmed like physically pushing him in the face,
like slapping him on the chest like it looks like
they're in the middle of a bit of a heated
fight for mine will. And then it's funny like Emmanuel
sees a camera. If you see the footage, Emmanuel like
side eyes a camera and realizes what we're getting filmed,
(00:52):
and then he just starts smiling.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yeah, everything good here.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
And then.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
On the if you don't know what actually Emmanuel Macron
sounds like this was actually him when he had a
trip to Australia. He was thanking Malcolm Turnbull for his
stand Also thanks Malcolm's wife.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
But I wanted to send you for you and your
delicious wife for your one welcome.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Maybe he was calling the hostess delicious on the plane
and that led.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
To the fight.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Delicious wife, I think a delicious wife.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I think we can all agree though, whether it was
calling the hostess delicious or not, that most of our
fights that we have with our partners is on holiday.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Yeah, you can have some stinkers on a trip, no
doubt about it.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
There stepping you traveled with him would say, I couldn't
agree more.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
And I don't know what it is about holiday.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I think when we go to set off on a holiday,
we've got such high expectations of what this holiday is
going to be that if our partners is different to that,
it can lead to some real fireworks.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Thirteen one oh sixty five is the number I do
want to hear about some epic travel fights.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
You're the breakup king on a holiday.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
My dad actually on my wedding day said that holiday
was with me was the kiss of death. It's a
weird thing to bring up at my wedding, but he
then went into the fact that, yeah, I've had three
breakups on a holiday.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Yeah, and I think so for me.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
It's like when you're on a holiday again, you have
this idea in your head of like what you want
from the holiday, and then when that conflicts with your
partner's idea of what it is on a holiday, that
has just never gone very well for me outside of
with my wife of course, Will of course we holiday beautifully.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Do you think that there's an element maybe with those
past relationships that you were successfully hiding who you actually
were from them for the majority of the relationship, and
then when you were one on one with them, you know, actually,
this is so weird.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
That's exactly what my therapist said. And also holidays for
me for a long time you said, so you can't hide,
and there's twenty four seven times together. I think holidays
for me has always been a time to like decompress,
and then all of a sudden you're there with a partner.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
That maybe I don't understand you, and then you've got
to try and put in an act and then you go, no,
youre not. I've had enough of this and I'd rather
suffer a huge fight than continue to lie to myself
about who I am.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Totally, and I would find myself.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Borrow from your therapist totally.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Thanks for taking me back there.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
I love putting you in therapy on it.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
The tough situation is when you break up with someone
on holiday, if anyone else has done that, is that
then you've got this weird conversation around do we barrel
on with the holiday even though we've broken both paid
to be here or should one of us leave?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
And which one should that be? And who's paying?
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Well, that's why you became a quantous platinum fly I
just absolutely booking your exes back home from all over
the world. Yeah yeah, bloody, can I guys me again? Misler?
Welcome back? Who would you like to fly back business
class again? Is it?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
But anyway, but outside of the breakups that I've had
on holiday, even with my wife Mim like that, holidays
is probably the time where we have our biggest fights
as well.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I remember in when we were going.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Through the US, he had a huge fight over whether
we should go to Disneyland or not.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Right, And imagine you were pro, No was pro.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Mim wanted to go to disney and I was very
anti Disneyland because I don't like making plans when I'm
on holiday.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
I forgot how much of a dream you are.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
While we were overseas, we were just going for it,
just like big fight, and then it became a fight
over like, okay, so if you want to go to Disneyland,
you go to Disneyland. And I want to do that
thing rights walk around the streets and to stumble into things.
But then it was a fight over who gets Remy, Like.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Remy was over there with you, there with God. I
thought you were saying in general, no, I thought it
was a custody fight. I thought it was a custody
fight over Disneyland. You were in front of the court,
all right, so why what is it? Irreconcilable differences? We
couldn't figure out whether or not we should go to Disneyland,
and you're here to discuss the custody of your child
because of that.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
So no ready for the day. So anyway, that was
a big fight.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
That's a shocker. I had one we didn't actually h
I'll tell you this after the song because I'm sure
some other people have got some great calls. So thirty
one and six five best or worst fight you've had
on a trip? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I've got one
where we we hilariously were trying to do the same
activity for the rest of the day, but it was
like a Mexican standoff. Neither of us wanted to give
(05:20):
up on the activity, but we decided not to talk
all the way through.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
It really happens to all the whole day thirteen one
o six five biggest fights with your partner while you're traveling,
while you're on holiday. Dad is against like taxis when
he's overseas, like he's.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
More a great to travel. He's like, no plans, no taxis.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
He's like, we're in this city once in our lives.
Why wouldn't we enjoy the streets.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I go for a walk.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
I'll never forget my mum saying we're pretty far from
the hotel. I think we need some public transport. It's
late Steve and he goes, no, why I'm walking, And
then the rest of the family gets in the cab
and Dad walks. It took him six hours to walk home. Now,
so he was on the other side of the city
and he got the last and he still said.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
I had a lovely night going for affordable. We're in London.
We're in London and you wanted to walk or no.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
You can't walk around London's here on thirteen one oh
sixty five and we're talking travel fights.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, what happened?
Speaker 6 (06:21):
Well, we have got kids, so you don't travel and
not fight.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
We've got out kids.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
But I went back to one of the worst fights
we've had, but because of my husband's history, we've staying
in car accidents. He has to be the driver when
we go on holidays. He won't let me drive.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Pretty classic dad play. That isn't it that dad drives?
Speaker 6 (06:44):
But yeah, going in and so obviously i'm passenger keeps
in the back. But as we drive like ol drip
because sometimes the trips are really long and he gets
really angry about me falling asleep, but he won't let
me drive.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
That's an interesting fight, though. What are your thoughts on
like when I'm driving, Like I drive you home from
the beach a few weeks ago, I feel like you
did not off during that during that drive. No, I'm
again I don't think.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
The passenger's husband's team here.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Well, I don't like you didn't give me a choice.
I don't like the like he doesn't let her drive.
But I think as a passenger it is your role
and responsibility to uphold conversation with the driver.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
She didn't have a choice.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
No, that is fair, that's fair.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Like she's put she's been told that she has to
be the passenger.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
But are you the navigator when you're the passenger? Will
you still have you still have a job the cradle
that's going to come in here come. And this was
a recent fight on holiday.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Super recent, like just a week ago.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Oh wow, okay fresh one freshman.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Super fresh. So like the family still not talking. Yeah,
So what happened was we went to South Africa. It
was my brother's wedding and we'd booked with my parents,
my husband, myself, and our toddler to go all over together.
And we were there for a month and the last
(08:15):
forty eight hours, my husband decides that he's had enough
of my dad's controlling behavior and decided to go m
Ia for forty eight hours. And literally on the day
that we are meant to fly back to Sydney, get
a call to say he's in hospital. He ended up
at a casino, had too many drinks, tripped over something
(08:38):
and needed to turn staples in the back of his head.
And that was literally hours before we had to be
at the airport make fly. It was disastrous, and then
it just kept yeah, and then he met us at
the airport on time. For God, but it just kept going.
Like the whole fly was like a disaster. He chose
(09:01):
to see it on a different aisle.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
It was just a week ago, a week ago.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Just a week ago. Yes, yeah, so we packed.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
His bags coming then, like, if he's gone straight to
the airport after having a stack at the casino, are
his bags still in South Africa?
Speaker 3 (09:17):
No? So I packed everything. I packed everything up and
took it with me, and it was like, well, if
he's not there, then I'm going to have to just
leave it because I don't have the extra.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Allow it.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
And he was in such a mood. He was like,
I'll just buy a new close.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
It's fine, and I was just like, corigible, aren't they It.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Was awful and my dad was, yeah, of course, yeah, everything.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
It's a long flight. It's a long flight home.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
It was a long flight and it's been a long
week since.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
You still hear that coming voice and I feel for
you speaking of me being courageable. Ever says yes, so
I mentioned this beforeward. So I went to a ski
resort and my partner seeing in Japan. She's a great skier, yes,
very good at which is much better at sports than me,
which is already humiliating. I decided I was snowboarding because
I'm you know, I'm a low pant riding cool guy.
(10:12):
I'd never snowboarded in powder before. I'm not sure's ever
been in Japan. It's kind of famous for having this
like Caster sugar style snow, which is traditionally very hard
to navigate, particularly on a snowboard. But again, I'm encourageable.
I'm a man chipping my shoulder about the fact that
my partner's better at sports than I am.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I don't need ski school. I'll get straight out.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Mate, take me to take me off piece, as they
would say. So we're going down a standard run. Sam said,
I'm going to go off piece. Anyway, I went down
off piece, So what is off piece?
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Mean?
Speaker 5 (10:40):
Off the trail? So you just it's just trees and
like caster sugar snow, I take one turn, I go under.
And when I say I go under, I mean like
the snow is over my head. I cannot reach my
bindings and the snow is caving into the hole in
my face. It is so hectic. I was like, I'm
going to die here in the snow. In Japans people
get buried, right.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
So I started screaming. I'm like Sam, Sam, you know,
finally she's heard me. So she stops getting she walks
up the slope and I'm like, Sam, can you just
pass me one of your poles. You're gonna have to
drag me out of here. I was like, you knows,
we might have forget the scado up here and drag
me out the ze. She reaches down and then instead
of grabbing her pole, grabs her phone out and takes
(11:21):
a photo of me in the snow.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
I've seen the shot. It's a great photo.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
We did not talk for the whole day. That was
the first thing in the morning. We skied all day together,
to the point where some of the ski some of
the chairlifts at the snow resort with massive so like
half an hour on the chair yea. And we would
sit on there with a stranger and the stranger would
only figure out like twenty minutes into the run. Oh
(11:46):
you guys actually know each other. You just wouldn't talk.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Bloody hell.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
It is a great it's a great.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Right now, though, I want to talk about parent teacher
horror stories. This come out the other day. I kind
of just mentioned in passing that I used to go
to my parent teacher interviews parent teachers when they get yeah,
what did I have an undone one? There? Our girls
are on the twos? Is that why they do the
timer on the because there are like ten minutes appointments,
aren't they?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Like speed daddy? So you've got a little boy, go
to the next teacher.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
Yeah. I used to go to the parent teacher interviews
for who for me?
Speaker 7 (12:33):
That is?
Speaker 5 (12:34):
That is just so you?
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Is it?
Speaker 5 (12:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Well, mate, I said to you before you volunteer, did
you volunteer distribute?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I would like to hear the three sixty feedback to
my face.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
I was like, ready to go. I'd get in my
school uniform, ready to go. School uniform. I gift. I
was God's gift to academia. I walked it. I walked
into that joint and you could you could hear the choir.
He's here. All we want to do is tell them
how good he is.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, it was great.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
I'd sit there and get the.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Report card and it was always good.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
It was awesome. This was obviously it was really was
just the best way for me to feel good about
myself was going to a parent teacher. Was in front
of my parents, going like, hey, guys, check it out.
These guys think I'm awesome. You think I'm awesome. It's
pretty good.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
That's ice cream on the way home. I reckon, Oh.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
Dude, say something inappropriate. But yeah, yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
It's a bad night for me, shocking night for me.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
I obviously would not did you you You wouldn't go, buddy,
no way, But I know I know what the soundtrack
would be while your parents were there. This is your teacher, budd.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
It was a tough night for mom and dad as well.
They know they're going to get a baptism of five.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
There's so many different layers to this. There's a reason
they're so confronting. It's confronting for the kid. Yeah, it's
confronting for the parents because oven they're going, yeah, if
they're if their kids are spud like you were, Yeah,
they're rocking up, going I don't want to hear how
crab my kid is.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
But at least they're expecting it. There was there was
zero optimistic to be not.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
A great yeah, just to hear how much of a
shit kicky your kid is. That's really got to suck.
And then on the other side, the third angle on
this is the parent. It's the teacher. Sorry, the teacher's
got to go. I've got to tell some kids parents
something that they probably like, because if you if you're
a crap at school. Yeah, yeah, I imagine. I mean,
(14:30):
I've never been in this position, they'll ask me. But
I imagine you're lying to your parents a lot of
the time about how you're going. Oh sure, I got
very good at forging like a D into a B.
You just put a little line and you check, you know,
you check a plus on there.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Yeah, I'll go kind of thing. But I'll never forget that.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
So my parents would come home from parents teacher interview
and I would TV off, bolt to bed because I've
got to pretend to be asleep, and in my head,
I'm like, overnight, they might just forget how bad I
am as a child.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
And I never forgot. They woke me out one night
and they were like, why are you telling your French
teacher that you're German? And I was like, apparently, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
I didn't remember this, but I used to tell my
because my French accent was so bad. It's always trying
to do the accent. I used to tell them I've
got German in my family, so the German's probably coming
through and so he and then he backed off and
he was like, oh, totally to get it.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
You got German in your family. Ba da da dah.
And then the French teacher apparently said, which one of
you Germans?
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Oh that's great? All right, Well look, I would love
to hear from you guys thirty one and six five.
This is a horrific experience for everyone, I imagine. Apart
from if you are God's gift to academia, there was
one time my dad rocked up and absolutely roasted my
math teacher for not pushing me hard enough. Oh my god,
and he wore his pin down to a nub by
the end of the interview. Yeah, yeah, really scared him.
(15:46):
He resigned pretty quickly after that. Don't mess with the
prodigy like you know you've got You've been given a
gift here, mate, you know, yeah, yeah yeah, make him
realize his potential.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
That teacher should have put their hand hup and said
he has surpassed me. I can't, I can't handle.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
And hands me the chalk passing at the batman, William,
Would you like these children? So I saw it? Keptain
poop pants about this, pooey. Can you hear me out there?
Poo I think we are on The producers are listening
just gervel checking is not poo.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
By the way, that's a trial trial happy.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Sounded like you love it as well. He was a
gun to your head. I can pretty much see you
the gun. Hey, hey, poo, apparently you have a story
and made of yours. It was a teacher is the teachers?
Speaker 7 (16:41):
Yes, one of my friends as a teacher, and he
was trying to figure out why this kid who he
had in your nine was quite bad at maths. Ma's teacher.
I couldn't figure out how, like where this is all
going wrong? And he sits the parents down with the
kids and kid and says, you know, Joe, he's not
doing great at mass.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
It's actually really bad.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
In his last maths test, he's called thirty percent and
the dad goes thirty percent out of what.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
App from that's a tough moment for the Teachery, what
do you do with that?
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Hey? Thirteen one and sixty five? Give us care? We
got him. We're talking parent teacher interviews, horror stories. Joe,
your mum was your teacher?
Speaker 7 (17:28):
Yeah she was?
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Oh no, so how does the parent teacher work?
Speaker 6 (17:32):
There?
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Is it just one on one?
Speaker 6 (17:34):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (17:34):
Look, you know what was funny? She had to write
reports to herself about my performance and hers.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Was she honest, Joe? Was she honest?
Speaker 5 (17:43):
That's amazing, Yeah, she was honest.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
I couldn't believe they made her do it. But parent
teacher was every day for me because I was a
really crappy, naughty student. And she used to come home
and go, do you have to do this to me?
It's your maths teacher. Where did you wack?
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Because she's made with the other teachers.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
Of course, yes, she's the copy in the staff room.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Oh, because you were such a bad student. Oh that's tough.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Did she ever have to get angry at you in class?
Because that, like, that's a tough situation.
Speaker 8 (18:14):
All the time. So I used to derailer. So when
there was a test. I remember once there was a
really hard Italian test and I naturally can speak Italian,
and I threw up in arms and I said, this
is crap, and everyone goes, yeah, this is crap.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
Did you say that in Italian? This is crap? Yeah,
something Italian? This is crap?
Speaker 8 (18:35):
Question murder.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Oh that's beautiful. Good.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Did you would you call your mom mum in class?
Or would you call her like you did so condescending?
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Joe.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
I'm going to be honest Angela thirteen one oh six five.
You're not respecting the teacher when someone's going the mum.
Oh no.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Why do you remember though in kindergarten when you accidentally
called the teacher? Did you ever do that?
Speaker 5 (19:01):
And it was like I need to that ever primary
school that was? That was a move school of fens, change.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
My identity, get out of the stated.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
Oh that's right out there with wearing your school uniform
on Jan's for Jane's day. Let's just get out of school.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
And then you don't tuck your shit. No sedual question.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
And we're talking parent teacher interviews and the horror stories
around them. Whatever you go for us.
Speaker 9 (19:31):
Look, when I was young, I was always a troublemaker
and scouse one with the lad math, always mucking around,
and my teachers every single time would be like, look,
that's it. And when I get to your parents, when
we have this parent teacher interview, we're gonna have this
big chat. I'm going to pull you up on your behavior.
But my parents were deaf, so I actually would be
attending these parent teacher interviews and translating, so not only
would they not only would it guilt trip them, and
(19:53):
all of a sudden they just were really sorry for me.
But if it was really bad, I just would downplay
it and make out like it wasn't that bad because
I was the one translating amazing. Yeah, only did I
guilt trip them, but really changed it a little bit too.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Well.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Is unbelievable.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
I mean, like, you know you are gaslighting your folks?
Who are you know disabled? That's that's all the power.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
I focus on that part of It's genius and it's brilliant.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Can I go back to I am interested. She might
have even get it back because I'm to know surely
that's coming handy.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
For her whenever the police broke up at the house
and talked to the parents, and she's like, oh, that
is here to let you know that I'm a good citizen.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Right, surely has come up for more than once. Great
angela parent teacher, parent teacher horror stories. What do we
go for us? Well, my parents thought I was like
the perfect student because they were immigrants and my dad
was always working.
Speaker 8 (20:48):
So my mom I never told them when it was
on Oh yeah yes, so.
Speaker 9 (20:53):

was like, yeah, that's a good grade.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
Brilliant.
Speaker 5 (21:02):

Speaker 9 (21:09):

with that kind of feeling, time attached to all of it,
and you can hear it. This is forever hold your gun.
It's out now. Really leaning into this almost it was
(22:05):
like a bit of a like a country sort of
a theme coming through all the tunes. Man, what's yeah
going down that dusty road? Ah? Very good, very good,
very good.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
It's been absolutely unreal and I've slowly just you know,
become one with many great Aussie country artists, and I've
been It all started, I guess in about twenty twenty
where I did this song Hubs in Brisbane Country, and
I did it because I was in love with Western
music and spaghetti Western films obviously like all the Clin
(22:36):
Eastwood stuff, but I also such high quality musicians in
the country space, like you don't need to put tuning
on their vocals. They've done three thousand gigs like they
have done the rounds. Yeah, and they can play guitar.
They can play and sing unlike anyone, and so naturally
I'm just I want to make these dance songs, but
I want them to sound and feel like you know,
(22:57):
they could be country songs.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
That's sick recently that you So, You've got a new
song featuring Jimmy Barnes called coming Up I'm gonna play.
I know we're probably getting everybody very excited to hear Simioga.
We are going to play for a holder gun in
full in a second, though, I want to know before
(23:19):
we get to that though. Roofs Apparently there's a story
about how you and you asked Jimmy to collab. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Look, I had this idea.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
I made it with Blake O'Connor, who's a ripping ossie
country artist who lives in Nashville. He was just ripping
on the party Heart playing the harmonica and I was
just putting in some dance feats and next minute we're
in this session in Redfern in Sydney and we were
just dancing our ass off and he goes, dude, imagine if.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
We got Jimmy Barnes on this song. And I was like, dude,
imagine that that would be nut.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
And I thought, I wonder if someone knows him and
it turns out like my manager at the time, he
was like, I don't.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
Really know him or his manager.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
I just went on Jimmy Barnes dot com and hit
up no, you hit the contact button on Jimmy Barnes's website,
the contact button on Jimmy Barnes dot com, and it
ended up. I sent an email and I gave the
full spiel. I was like, Hey, I'm also one half
a Piking Duck. This is like and and here's a
link to this song. You know, have a sas and
(24:21):
feel free to you know, pass this on to Jimmy. Anyway,
Jimmy's manager hit me and said, I've passed this on
to Jimmy. Next day, I get a call from a
private number and I'm like, I would never answer a
private number, but for some reason, I did something told
me I had to answer it, and I just hear hey,
hey roops, and I was like I was like, uh what, sorry,
(24:44):
who's this? And he goes, it's Jimmy, Jimmy Barnes. I'm like,
oh my god, I could not believe it, and he goes,
I'll like the song, Let's do it next Wednesday.

this guy and just let it rip and he goes

Speaker 4 (25:12):
More than enough already.
Speaker 1 (25:13):

Speaker 5 (25:15):
Then he's like, sweet, I gotta go.

never seen professionalism of that level before, like bam, And
it's still to this like every single time I play it.
It's the most heaving song in the set. Yeah, I
don't know if it's if it's the harmonicer, if it's
that dance speed, or if it's what a Jefmy is

maintain there and Apple has just it was it happened
about eighteen months ago, destroyed every single number in my phone.
Speaker 1 (26:21):

miss most out of your phone?
Speaker 5 (26:26):
I was gonna say one which I've really really.

because I thought that was the coolest one there and
I was like, that's the big one for sure, that's
like the big ticket items in there.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
And so how often were you texting Liam though?
Speaker 4 (26:47):
When you did have his number riven whenever there was
a UFC fight, I'd be like, oh, this is my
chance to text him.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
So you you bond over UFC with Liam Hemsworth.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Look, I'm just a Liam Hemsworth fan and any excuse
to say good a.

Hemsworth if you're listening. Rubens lost your.
Speaker 6 (27:10):

Every time that you got a message, so every time
that you got a message, roobes and you couldn't see
like obviously didn't know who was from was your it
was random numbers and then message back immediately though, like Liam,
what this is the weird thing? I could scroll up
and I'd have to scroll up to the very top
of the history to then try figure out the pieces
(27:36):
of who.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
It might be.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
That's fun, that's fine, so.

fun game for the people that you know decided to
reach out to me, but for those that have left me,
you know, alerts like dust in the Wind.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
I'll never get back to them. I don't think we've
texted since, Rubes. And you know, it does feel good actually,
just having knowing that you can't reach me anymore. I'm
gonna be honest, man, it was so.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Yeah, it's really love actually that for a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
There was a petition at Apple. It was like delete
all of his numbers.
