Just just do people heard the quiz that I lost
accidentally for Relesia on the last question.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Yeah, definitely, We've got her details.

Speaker 4 (00:33):
We'll be sending her at least a thousand dollars lego
set of my sincerius. Apologies to really getting the easiest
question wrong, but although I do stand by the fact,
I would never have known what day is two days
from today. It turns out it's Wednesday, today.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Saturday. I guess that's still is that Saturday? Is it Friday?

Speaker 2 (00:50):
It was three days from today, so it would have
been Saturday.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, stay well yeah so that doesn't count
because it's been five minutes.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
But yeah, good. Everyone knows she's been taken care of.

Speaker 5 (01:04):
Yeah, so it's great.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
So you are going to send her a whole bunch
of lego and Hamish that beautifully segues into what I
want to talk to you about, because we actually got
sent some lego as well. I'm not sure if that
was actually directly personally from you or just people.

Speaker 5 (01:16):
At lego you're claiming.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Enjoy that?

Speaker 5 (01:19):
Well, thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Now, a lot of people on this show would know
that I can be a little bit tight with money,
and I'm interested to ask you, do you think it's
okay for me to wrap those gifts up and claim
them as a Christmas present to my daughter redmen?

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Oh my god, yes, amaze, of course you can. You
earned them? Did I? Did I earn them? By? I
guess by being you in the position you are?

Speaker 4 (01:45):
Well you okay, maybe you didn't nern them, but you
legally came into possession of them, And what is purchasing
something if not legally coming into possession of it?

Speaker 3 (01:53):
So really I don't see any any I see no harm,
no foul with this. And look, people, this.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Is you know, obviously not a situation that most people face,
but when you work in radio you do come across
things a lot.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
I got done one year giving mine.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
Mum a book for Christmas that was by It was
by the Chef by Shannon Bennett. So it was one
of his books, and it was like, you know, he'd
written a book like where Chef's Eat when they travel
or something, and I was like, oh, this is so yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Is just going bang straight into her Christmas gifts.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
And she was like, oh, that's so nice. I was like, yeah, well,
you know, you think you're traveling this year and should
be great.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
And then said it, said, dear hey, mass enjoyed the book.

Speaker 4 (02:42):
I can promise you I haven't signed that lego anywhere. No,
there's no way your daughter's going to know that it
wasn't from you.

Speaker 5 (02:50):
But I mean she also can't read, so I think
I'm out.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
Of the wood there.

Speaker 6 (02:53):
So sad hey, speaking of books, mate, one of our producers,
an alast came in here before and told us that
you met Zoe working on a book together.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
Is that right? Not exactly not.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
We did know each other for a long time before then,
but we were both back in the day. We both
wrote for Cosmo magazine, so she did she did a
relationship column for Cosmo, and I also did a relationship column.
So she wrote, she wrote like a relationship book, and
then I scribbled in literally just wrote in the margins
and that was my contribution to the book.

Speaker 6 (03:30):
So then and so and after that though, So I
was reading that You're into her, right, You're like, yeah,
this this girl is in a bit.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
She's great iman these days, I would say, yeah, I mean,
if not, after the birth of our first.

Speaker 6 (03:45):
Child really cemented it.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
The universe has given me signs.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
But for her it was more of a slow burn.
Is that right?

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (03:59):
No, I mean I again again, I'm not trying to brag,
but we did end up together. I can't speak for
on how fast the burn was. You know, we were friends, were.

Speaker 6 (04:12):
Very much so you were technically in the friend zone
with her. I feel like, I feel like I'm cross
examining you here. I'm like trying to eke out this information.
But you were technically in the friendship zone with her.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Is there do you want? Is there someone your friends
with that you would like.

Speaker 6 (04:26):
To isn't it true that you were in the friendship.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Zone with your partner for a long time?

Speaker 4 (04:32):
No, I mean, yeah, we were friends, we wild we
knew each other. But yeah, sometimes that's it's funny the
way the universe works like that.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
Then when when it was right, it was right.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
So did you make like a conscious play to get
out of there?

Speaker 6 (04:45):
Was there a mate where you were like, all right,
friendship zone, time to exit? Or was it just beautifully
sort of naturally transpired.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
I mean, going back.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
Years now, no, Look, we you know, like I reckon
at some point you know, in that time too, while
we were friends, like you know, she had a boyfriend.
Girlfriends were going in and out of a relationships too,
so it probably just also requires and we also lived
in different states. Oh wow, it requires a few ducks

(05:17):
to line both being single and then but you know,
because time goes on, life changes and we're like, well,
actually maybe maybe this could work. And it was a
crazy plan, but it has seemed to pay off.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
That's awesome.

Speaker 5 (05:28):
I've got to just rewind a little bit.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
So you were once writing a relationship column in Cosmo.

Speaker 5 (05:33):
Can you would.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
You mind wonder we wonder why the magazine?

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Can I just hear one of your kernels of advice
on relationships? I don't reckon, I've ever really heard you
preaching relationship advice before.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Hamish, No, it wasn't.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
I think it was more just like, hey, it was
basically just going, hey, guys are so simple, don't do
not over complicate this.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
Really it was, you know, like with a bunch of magazines.
Well that's not fair.

Speaker 4 (05:59):
There's some very good writers in magazines, but certainly my
stuff was pretty much the same thing, just repackaged everywhere.
And also it was one of those ones we were like,
I don't know how to it was. I was like,
twenty five, really think I've got too much of that
much of a worldly take on this, but I'm happy
to give it a go. It mostly for me, it

(06:22):
was an exercise in lying about that I'd done the
article and that it was on its way, and it
was just that's all I remember from that period, like,
I don't think I gave any great advice at all,
and I spent ninety percent of my time. I put
way more effort into concocting stories that I'd finished my

(06:42):
article and that I was looking Because this is also
back in the days before smartphone. This is how long
ago this was. I was probably writing that article in
my two thousand and five Wow, it's like twenty years ago.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (06:53):
Yeah, And so you could you could say stuff like, yeah,
did that not come true? Ah, I'll have to get
to my laptop and send that that I won't be
at the laptop for a few hours or there was
that was I was so behind deadline and I was like, shit,
I can't.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Really got no idea what I'm going to write about.
I was like exhausted.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
It was like a Friday afternoon and it was due
probably I'm like, you know, had been you on Tuesday
or something, And so I went into a word doc
and just In Windings Fond just did like three pages
of just squares, like just the square symbol. And I

(07:33):
called the file something like you know, ten ways, ten ways.
He's he's like, you know, I don't know, doing like
values his mates more or something some some sort of headline.
Just called the article that as a word. Dock sent
it and then went about my.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Weekend and then got in on Monday morning.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
They're like, hey, that file didn't that was corrupted. I
was like, what, I'm so sorry. Let me try and recent.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
After that come through. Yeah, we've got it now, Like
oh my god, that's so weird.

Speaker 4 (08:10):
I don't know what.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
I love that.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
That's awesome.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
Before I was useless for advice, but I did learn
a lot in terms of scheming and getting out of
handing in your.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Work, which is the message to take home kids now.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
More relevant to my career.

Speaker 6 (08:27):
Been handed the twenty twenty five Australian Talent Index Top
Talent Report.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
I'm not sure if you're across this, so.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
I didn't even know. I'm not across that or the
twenty four one or the twenties.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Don't lie, mate, don't like mate. It's the first thing
he said to me. Can you bring up the index?

Speaker 3 (08:39):
Boys? Apart from that, who does the what is this?

Speaker 5 (08:43):
No talent core company? Yeah, talent So it's all they
do in the top like a thing that you.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
Have to pay subscription to where you don't get included
in it.

Speaker 6 (08:52):
So in the Top twenty, I've only got the top
ten in front of me, but you've so your third,
just so.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
You know, happy happy In the top forty.

Speaker 6 (09:02):
You've taken out Gibney, doctor, Chris Brown, maneu Fidell, Marsha
Hines in the top ten packet and Todd Woodbridge.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Ahead of you. Though mm hm, did you want to
have a guess?

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Andy?

Speaker 2 (09:16):
And he's two and number one?

Speaker 3 (09:20):
I mean, what's the category?

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Don't know. I actually we're trying to figure it out.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
It's just Australian Talent Indexes Top Talent Report. So I
think this canvas is everything is overall. So I think
it's so.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
Wrong because already you'd go, well, kidman.

Speaker 6 (09:35):
You know, ah right, I see what Jackman, Jackman yeah
in top three.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, that that's that's that's not like, where's Margot Robbie? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (09:44):
Yeah, we're poking holes in it. It sounds like someone's
angry with third. Can I just say.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
I'm naming I'm naming the obvious top five. I mean,
I have no offense to Marsha Heines, but I'd.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
Say both he and I, both her and I would
agree that we don't beat Margot Robbie if that's not
who number one is.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
It's a strange list, so the tough day for Margot.

Speaker 5 (10:06):
I can no doubt she'd be across this list.

Speaker 6 (10:08):
Shat we Kidman and yeah, read Chris Hemsworth and read
Hugh Jackman, and it really does. I mean baz Lerman,
I mean like we just keep going on as he
was your fourth.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
I like him a lot anyway. Number one is Robert Owen.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
You see, I didn't look I would agree with that.
I think he's had a big ear and hats off
to him. But i'd question i'd question two. I'll tell
you about that, and I would question three. You can
take out of there for Kidman and Robbie and Emsworth.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Feels about right.

Speaker 6 (10:38):
It feels about right, Giveney keeps uspot dot Chris Brown.
I mean he hasn't really been hotter.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
Is he.

Speaker 5 (10:43):
Oh, he's doing great things. God, Chris Brown. I enjoy it.

Speaker 4 (10:47):
Yeah, I mean you can't argue with the index. He
foolish frost press back on the index.

Speaker 6 (10:52):
He's like tef On the Doctor. He just doesn't he's untouchable,
I reckon.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
I mean, usually when someone's like teft One, it's like
all their well known scandals aren't sticking to them. But
I don't think he has any well known scandals, does he?
Like he's not He's like tef One that no one's
trying to stick anything to. He might not be like
tef One. He might be like belkra He just hasn't
done anything.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah, I'll bring up I'll bring up one slightly embarrassing
thing about doctor Chris Brown that I know because behind
the scenes from Mama Celebrity, Get Me out of Here.
Underneath all of his shirts when he's presenting, he wears
like a skin colored shirt and that's to stop the
excessive sweating.

Speaker 5 (11:27):
So he's not perfect. There we go.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
He's out of the top fir shots.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Fine when you see him behind the scenes, like, what
is that?

Speaker 6 (11:44):
Okay, well I didn't expect that from you. Woulds there
we go dirt crack. All right, it's going to start
a wall between me and Chris Brown. This is what
we want to see both right.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Up the top.

Speaker 6 (11:56):
Hey mate, before you get out of here, let's talk
Lego my Christ's windows Meyer's Burke Street store from now on.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
I know you're a big Lego fan. What of these
look like?

Speaker 4 (12:05):
The windows are amazing, They're made by brit Man. All
the windows aren't The windows are made by probably Australia's
best glass company. But the what's behind the windows, so
it's it's it's a bit of a special one because
anyone that's grown up in Melbourne, you know that the
my Christmas windows, you know, that's like it's with Moonber
as part of the you know, it's the heart and

(12:26):
soul of the city. And as a kid, I would
go and visit the windows like that was our big thing.
We catch a training from glen Waverly with our grandma
and you know we get to have an ice cream
and buy mum something that we wanted Christmas, and you
know we go to my windows and that was the
day out.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
So it is.

Speaker 4 (12:44):
You know, there's a part of me that's like, well,
this is a lovely thing to be able to to to.
I'm the voice I get to narrate the Australian Night
before Christmas seen across the six windows. They're all pretty
incredible lego bills across the six windows and then narrated
by the dulcet tones of Australia's third most indexed celebrity.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
Alright, we'll go and check it out if you're in Melbourne.
