Speaker 2 (00:21):

how it's okay to ask for it and some people
need more of it than others and to respect people's
personal space.

wellness day, sicky, be well dayed.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Some businesses do that a wellness day to do whatever
with what you want. Okay, it's computer security day, it's
chocolate moose day and meth awareness date.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
I don't think chocolate moose and meth awareness should be
on the same sentence in the same day, because both
of them are desired, well, some more than others.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yes, and of course I'm talking about chocolate moose.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Well, well, it can be addicted to chocolate moose.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Yeah, yes, we are speaking of chocolate moose addicted to
food and yummy things. We were talking about sandwiches yesterday
and boy avoided that startup. So yeah, we're going to
get into that. Coming up next. It's gaily only Jaye
one nine. This is hot tomato.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
It's gaily what what what?
Speaker 5 (01:54):
What?
Speaker 6 (01:54):
What?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
What?
Speaker 4 (01:56):
What?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Stupid? Stupid man?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Are you talking about yourself?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
No, but that is something that I'm used to saying.
I did say every now and again. Did you say, man?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I say, woman?
Speaker 7 (02:11):
Yeah, STU.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
When I go into a room and can't remember why
I'm in that room, walk around the room when I
come in here for your stupid woman, don't remember it?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Stupid stupid man.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
All right, Okay, so you know how they think with
research that the man flu is really a thing that
it's worse for men when they get the flu.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
They tried to research and prove it.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Probably another stupid fan trying to get behind that research
and I didn't.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
They wanted to see.
Speaker 8 (02:38):
It was worse.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yeah, and they found that it was somehow it is.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Yeah, it is, but I can't remember what the actual
the reason why. But this is the stupid bit, right,
because men trying to say, hey, I've got man flu
and it's real, have tried to compare it to something
that you shouldn't compare it to.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yes, come, I know, alright, you ready stupid if it man?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
All right and a little bit brave here it is,
I'm not gonna like it, Okay. Only a woman who's
delivered a baby without an EPI dural can.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Truly understand the pain a man goes through when he
has the flu. Has they said? Stupid stupid man, that's
what he said.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Do you have his address in detail?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I noticed? I notice.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Show him what child birth feels like, anonymous, Yeah, I
had two babies with no effie durls born absolutely naturally.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Look at you go, yes, well, if you ever had
the man fluke.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
And gentlemen do we have a guest.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
We have a guest. Let's give a big, warm welcome,
very warm welcome. Thank you for the one.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
Welcome to the neighbor.
Speaker 9 (03:51):
Welcome to the Shoe's Amanda, Good morning, Good morning everyone here.
Speaker 10 (03:56):
Are you going?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
We are good? How are you, Amanda?
Speaker 7 (03:59):
I'm good.
Speaker 11 (04:00):
I'm juggling two kids at the moment on a swing
at a sea saw.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
So we'll see how this goes.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Oh, that's what you need before you have to perform
in front of everyone in the next couple of days.
Speaker 11 (04:12):
Well, they'll be there as well in the crowd, so
I'll probably be more nervous about what they're doing than
what I have to do on stage. As you know
with quere can be a disaster. So you see how
it all goes.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Well done, So you're rang through and got tickets on
the line.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
They've been the hottest twit in town, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
They are.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (04:34):
Yeah, everyone's been asking me, and I know that they're
all gone out in front of the stage, but it
still come because there's big screen set up everywhere, all
the entertainment, food trucks and everything will be all throughout hotter,
so it's still going to be a fabulous afternoon.
Speaker 10 (04:47):
Now, Steve, we the entertainment and the entertainment that we're
god like. It's just fantastic. It's one of the great
events of the year that occurs on the Gold Coast
and with the likes of human nature performing, it's just
going to be just going to be a fabulous.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Even And Steve, there's a roomor you're going to sing
this year?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
So I did you know what?
Speaker 10 (05:07):
Do you know what, Emily JD. I don't know whether
we should let the secret out that we've been secretly
rehearsing and all that's been going on. You know, I
think the good thing is that I was I was
warned off actually singing, and look, Bob la Castra. The
good thing is that he stepped in and saved the
day for everyone who's there that doesn't have to put
(05:27):
up with my singing on the night.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
And it's funny that with Bob he saves the day
every single years.
Speaker 11 (05:36):
In all seriousness, size I think, e J you should
take Steve under your wing because he jokes about it
every year, but he really does want to get up
there and bust.
Speaker 10 (05:43):
Out of Carol.
Speaker 11 (05:44):
So I think you two doing a duet? What more
could we.
Speaker 10 (05:48):
Ask for us all it's on the bucket list to
perform a Christmas carols. Look, I'd love to be able
to sing and be fantastic.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
What's your what's your What would your choice be?
Speaker 10 (05:58):
If you've got a choice, look the complete opposite to
watch you like a silent night? That's almost been one
of my great favorites.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
So does that mean you just stand there and lip
sick with no sound coming out?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And that's why it's silent. But you've got it in one.
Speaker 10 (06:12):
You've got it in one. You have guys a Bastian
or someone like that to do a bit of singing
for me in the background.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Are you doing a bit of Millie Vanilla? He'll be
behind the curtains.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Let's do it. Let's make that dream come true. Not
this year, but maybe next year, Steve, and then a
mandate we're going.
Speaker 10 (06:30):
To we're going to need twelve months of practice for sure.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Well, Bradley Cooper can learn to sing in twelve months.
For a Star is born, we can scrub you up, Steve.
For a star is not born.
Speaker 10 (06:43):
It could be the total end of my career. Lockstock
and Barrel would say, we never ever want to see
this place. Ever again.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
All right, goes, well, it's on Saturday. Still sort of
spaces around activation sites and everything that aren't ticketed so
people can get there and watch them on the big screens.
But of course this should be a big crab with
all the ticketed area as well. So a really nice
Christmas feel and good luck on Saturday.
Speaker 7 (07:09):
So much can't wait. Cheese guys looking forward to it.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Emily, do you do this?
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Like you've got your phone and you're flicking through on
Instagram and then you see a little fitness video and
it might go you know, upp a mini upper body
you work out, so you save it and you put
it with all your stuff. I do do that, and
then you get you see another one where it might
be a Chinese kung fu master that's doing some sort
(07:35):
of move behind his back with his hands, like do
this and you get slim, So you save that. I've
got about one hundred and fifty fitness videos in my
phone saved.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
That's good.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
In Instagram now you can actually when you save a
video for later. They used to just put them all
in one big file. Now they've got categories, so you
can make a fitness file a food file Yeah, you know, funny,
I just send them to myself, so you said, so
you save them for yourself underneath the file that you want.
So when you go and do your workout, you just
(08:08):
go straight to your fitness file of all the little
save videos.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Well that's clever.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Well, needless to say, the one hundred and fifty in
my phone have not been used. If they're all there,
I've got all these upper body you know, and get
your butt into shape for summer.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Do you know all of this stuff?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
This might make you feel a little bit better. Ready,
I've read this once. I don't know if it's still
statistically true because science does change fast. But apparently, even
just looking at somebody doing fitness, watching something on a
phone or on television, what happens in your body. Your
body starts to get excited that you might be doing
a workout, and you actually burn a few little extra calories.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Well, if that's the case, I should look like Chris Hims.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
One hot tomato.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
In a moment, I'm going to tell you who the
highest earning celebrity is on OnlyFans and it is an Australian.
But first, when I talk about this, Cody Simpson has
announced the end of his swimming career in twenty twenty four,
he put a little Instagram post up because he's been
asking it a lot, been asked that question a lot,
(09:19):
and he said, look, I've been doing this every day
for three years now. There are only eight months left
in my preparation, which I believe calls for more content
and updates on the path. Training is going well. I
give what I ever, whatever I have to give every day,
learning a lot about myself, loving feeling this healthy. But
thinks will wrap up his career after the twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Games, right goodness to make the team keep.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Swimming, you could do he I mean, he's it's like
a tenth of a second shy of winning a silver
or winning some kind of silverware at the last international
event behind a guy called Matthew States from South Africa.
So tenth of a second try like he's nearly there.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
He's getting close.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Was that for the fifty butterfly?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yes, it was the one hundred meters It was for
the World Cup inter Athens.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Okay, So he's in good form, Yes he is.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
He's fit and he's got head in the right spot.
Great girlfriend to you know, high hopes for him to
keep going. Look, he's okay, But Jimmy Barnes said yesterday
that he had to cancel a big gig. He was
doing a big super cruise called Rock the Boat. Have
you call artists on there, and he's had to cancel
(10:34):
it because he's got pneumonia. Gaily next material too, he does.
He actually in his post he said that, you know
the complicated, had to take it seriously. Is an ivy
antibiotics for a couple of days, and he said complications pneumonia, sepsis,
respibery failure, lung abscesces, and even death. So you've got
(10:55):
to take pneumonia seriously, as you learned this year. But
his daughter Mahalia is still gonna be performing on that boat.
Pretty good, isn't it. Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
You know, at one Barns in and if all of
them are available, we can throw in Casey.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
His unofficial sum, which is no relation anyway. Highest earning
celebs on OnlyFans have been announced twenty three. Amber Rose
twenty six million dollars. She comes at number five. She's
the ex of Kanye West. You know, the really stunning
girl that had the short blonde hair, remember her really vo.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Lumpshow to be honest, I don't really remember.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
If I showed you a picture, you would remember it's
waiting for Kim Kardashian, and you know he likes a type.
The next one is Bella Thorne. She's the Disney star
thirty two million. She's made out of bony fans, black China.
Now she's the ex Robert Kardashian right, and she's made
(11:53):
between thirty two and forty five. They didn't have what
she had, but she's coming third. But she jumped off
her She wasn't finding it good for her space, so
she made a lot of money and then jumped off it.
Cardi b forty five million dollars this year, this one year.
And the number one is Mum and Bimbie's Iggy Zalia
(12:14):
No way, Yes, forty eight million dollars. She's made this year.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Alone on only fans.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
On OnlyFans for one year, and she's jumping off it too.
She's done this interesting thing. So she created not just
like an OnlyFans, she created like a concept and called
it the Hotter than Hell project. Became really creative with
her contents, so really engaged people. They wanted to be
a part of this content. It wasn't just here I
(12:41):
am in a shower. She was making art and she's
now going to turn that into a coffee table book
as well and make some more money out of it.
So forty eight million dollars I want they do.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
What are they doing on that though? To get that
much money?
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Well, I haven't looked.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Skin the question, and I'm not like, oh, you should
see it.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I haven't looked. But with somebody making forty eight million
dollars out of it in one year, I am certainly
curious and wondering does that part of me look okay?
Speaker 3 (13:14):
But I think the thing is because they've got They've
got profile, though, so they will attract more to their site.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
To start with, what are you saying? Not than you?
Speaker 3 (13:24):
It's not about you. I'm comparing to everyone like that.
That's why they're getting the forty eight Yeah you know
what I mean.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah, they are. But you could create yourself, you could become.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
A celebrity one.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
But I'm sure there's a lot of celebs going, wow,
forty eight million dollars and you're prancing around in your undies.
Signed me up, Sign me up? Anyway, I have a
look at that later to day and let you know
how I go.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
This is one O two nine hot tomatoes. We're going
to talk crocs. Scaly's outraged.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
I'm shocked, and it's been a slow build, but I
want to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
EJ knows a little bit about it as well.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
But I saw an article yesterday and also but just
the last couple of weeks, there's been a little bit
of a spike.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Actually after us playing the show yesterday and then I
went home and said something about what we're about to
talk about next yes, and the whole house just went.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Did they?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
They just went, where's so slow?
Speaker 3 (14:24):
No one that we're not, because this is the time
to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
It's just happened. Yes, you have to be on the
trend to talk about it.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
You can be sort of at the end of it.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Was at a cafe on the weekend.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
I was sitting there with a and this like sat
down and probably in his twenties, and he's got his
girlfriend with him, and they sat down and I looked
down and had crocs on. Now that's not the first
pair of crocs that I've seen lately. I've noticed a
few other times that I saw some crocs and I
saw one pair of Crocs about a week and a
(15:03):
half ago, also at a cafe with some like sitting
down there with all those little attachment attachments.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Gibbets, gibberts, crickets. So I'm thinking. So I went to
whisper To and because I didn't want the black to
hear me.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
I said, I think Crocs are back like that, and
she goes, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Know, and I said yeah, well she said it in normal.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Sound, said it when you said EJ Crocs a bat
And I'm like, well, no.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
No, okay, so well this is this argument back to me.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
They were like on everyone's Christmas.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Yeah, well okay, Crocs the shoe, not the reptile, back
from the fashion brink. And that was written two days ago, right,
so the holy slip ons their back.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
They're part of everyone's wardrobe.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
What I found interesting that the people from Platypus, these
guys would talking about it from Adelaide. They're out selling
their added ass and Nike and Essex where.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Okay, this is literally me gaily. I went into Platypus
pack fair and when I asked for Crocs, the young
girl they're like roller eyes at me, roller eyes, and
went yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
There's none left, like you.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I was the one hundredth customer that day that had
walked in and gone, excuse me, where are the crocs?
And then she's like, go over to this store, and
I went to that store the nun left, go over that.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
This was last year.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
This was last Christmas, right, that was last Christmas? And
then this year it's the gibbets go trying to find gibbets.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Well, there's there was some limited editions such as Shrek
and Lightning McQueen. Crocs they're selling on eBay for about
two hundred at the moment, so.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
It's a turnaround.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
I mean, you think about it, like you used to
be able to go to the markets and see all
the crocs in there, and it was kind of you know,
I'm not going to lie, it was a bit of
lame town.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
We did a thing years ago, gay Live because I
used to hate crocs and not want crocs, and then
before you started working with me, it was like a challenge.
I had to wear crocs for a week and con
I was I was having to work with an evening
dressed to a cocktail party and I had to wear
them trying to do some exercise and I had to
like wear these crocs and I was like, oh, I'm offended.
Now I'm like, they're high heel ones with fur and
(17:23):
gibbets and they look like they've got measles.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
And so they've had it.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
They've had a really productive meeting somewhere along the line
where we said we've got a product, we've got to
make it happen.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
So a marketing team have got together.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
So but this is the question I want to ask,
because you can still have an opinion on them. Right
a lot of people are buying them. I want to
go down the pathway. Are crocs cool?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Right?
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Because I'm back there. I want are they cool or
are they not? That's just pretty simple because some people
will still go lame o. Some people are like, get
with the times. Crocs are back, Crocs are back, baby.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I read an article that in New Zealand they're banning
crocks because there's scraps in the playgrounds over the gibbets there.
You can't wear crocs to school.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Well, how do you hang a pair of crocs over
the power lines?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Apparently crocs have taken over schoolies. That's another little article
I read that everyone at schoolies has got crocs. So
if you go down to the shoreline, it's just everyone
abandoning their crocs as they walk on to the sand.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Crocs are at our beaches. We will never be able
to swim again.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
That's a little hot pink Barbie one with its gibbs.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
I can't buy a croc gibbets double five nine a
call for being involved in the show today. You could
squeeze of a family pass to the city of Gold
Coast and Mayor's Christmas Carols.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Which we found out recently are pretty much sold out.
They're in demand.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Crocs there, Yes, crocs, what do you think? Yes or no?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
I'm still no, I still have no. I'm still not
doing it. My kids have both got them and they
got gibbets and it's all lots of fun, still know
for me.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
So you think they're a little lame, just that's what
we're talking about, lame or not lame.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
I feel like I look like a smurf when I
wear them. You know how little smurf feet they have
the big shoe.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
That means you think they're lame.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Yeah, I don't want to look like that.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
So cool or not cool? Talking about crocs at the moment.
I never thought that i'd say they're back.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
I thought they were gonsky lame.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah, like a joke. Well it kind of.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
It kind of was that, and they tried and but
people used to still say that had them, but they
said they weren't cool. They still said that, Oh, but
they're really comfortable. So there's no never been a question
on them being comfortable. But now they're back, and there's
these gibbets.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Gibbets, that's what's made to add to them. It's how
you add your personality.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
So that's why so smart with the marketing.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
But our question is good because they're obviously back in,
But are they cool?
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Do you still think they're cool or you're hanging on
to them being lame.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
I'm going to tell you last night I was at
home and were getting ready for the Mayor's Carols and
you and I are hosting, and I was brainstorming with
the fam and I was like, Okay, I want Gally
to come on stage with the big sack of toys
and I'll be all excited that he might have something
good in there for me. And he pulls out a
pair of crocs and I hate them, and my whole
family went, what, No crocs are cool? That'd be an
(20:20):
awesome present.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
All right, So they're saying they're cool.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
They're saying they're cool. I was like to bring them
out as if they were daggy with like, I don't know,
a can of baked beans or something, and they're like, no,
crocs are awesome. Everyone will be so excited that Gaily
got your crocs.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
They're not as cool as fish flops from BCF.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Something completely different. All we want to know are crocs.
We know they're back. Are they cool or not cool?
Joe from Helen's.
Speaker 11 (20:42):
Ville, Hello, Hello, good morning.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
There were crocs cool or they not?
Speaker 10 (20:48):
I personally think no, But my husband loves.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Them and we bought him last year.
Speaker 11 (20:53):
I think it was for.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
His birthday limited edition Jimmy Buffett crocs. They come with
an bottle openers, They have slices of lime gibbits, a
little salt shaker ice cubes. They are ugly, but he
loves them and we took them all the way to
Cancun on a recent holiday travel.
Speaker 7 (21:18):
He loves his crooks.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Yes, do you know what it's I think it's an
extension of personality to be honest and that's the market.
It's the marketing genius behind it. I mean, we'll call
it for what it is. When they went, people don't
think they're cool anymore, they were like, how can we
make people feel a connection to what's on their feet?
And that's what these gibbets have done.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Whoever came up with the gibbets idea for the company,
I don't have the separate do you buy them?
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Separate the gibbies? You do?
Speaker 2 (21:44):
And you there and they're you know how you said,
like at the markets you see people selling their crocs.
Gibbets are now like a market stable. There'll be like
three or four stalls selling gibbets, and the gibbets can
be anything. So my kids are fighting over, you know,
a Bronco's badge. I finally bought one. Oh I like
Broncos more. No, I like Broncos more. And you know
they've got their names on there and all sorts of stuff.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
We'll have to get them a Titans one so that
they consider, yeah there is a sit in that space.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I hadn't found one yet.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Oh okay, well Titans get onto it.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Yeah, all right, let's go to Jason from Kingscliff, Crocs
cool or not.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
I don't think they're very cool on with Gaily I'm old.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
But my young fellow, the youngest squatter, he loves it.
Speaker 8 (22:26):
He's got two pairs.
Speaker 7 (22:27):
But I reckon they should.
Speaker 10 (22:28):
All come with an Obbath tracksuit and glean and maybe
a mullet.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Man. That can be one of the gibbets.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
You get a strap on mulletrap on.
Speaker 10 (22:39):
What's well?
Speaker 7 (22:40):
There you go, mate, a bit of fur down of cross.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
And a little flap at the back.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
That's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
It works, Jason.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
All right, let's try Cassandra from Oxenford Crocs cool or not. Cassandra, No,
that's it.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Right, thanks for your contribution, big contribution.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Clearly, clearly you just want to go to the Carol's Cassandra.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
That's all good.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
And now then car Is from Burly Heads Crocs cool
or not.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
Now I've got a trending hashtag at work, hashtag no
to Crocs all of my stuff for what made you
get a pair for Christmas? I won't even let my
customers bring them into my new data center. The stuffy.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
That's funny. You need a T shirt? I hate Crocs.
Speaker 7 (23:33):
Oh, do you know what, I'll be happy to wander
around with one of those shirts. Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
So you have you seen have you noticed that they've
come back into fashion?
Speaker 7 (23:43):
I have, and like I said, that's absolutely foul. And
these bloody bit things whatever you call them, gibbets.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yeah, those headlights.
Speaker 7 (23:51):
Why do you know headlights in your shoes?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
There is actually gibbets at light up?
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Oh really like headlights?
Speaker 2 (23:59):
I think you put little tops now back of minor.
Speaker 7 (24:02):
I mean, I'm still I feel I'm still quite young.
But when I worked at a cafe, the chefs were
wearing crops, and I think that's the only place that
they belong to in a commercial kitchen.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
That's because they're comfortable, right, because you're on your feet
all day.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
You can sterile them because they're plastic.
Speaker 7 (24:21):
Yeah, so there, I'm not fashionable. I hope it when
people wear flocks of them.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Tag again crocs, no.
Speaker 7 (24:30):
Hashtag, no crocks.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
You convinced? Congratulations?
Speaker 4 (24:34):
You want a family pass in the City of Gold
Coast Mayor's Christmas Carols at Hotter outdoor stage, Saturday, December second,
which is only a couple of days away, headlined by
human Nature.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Congratulations, Charis fbulous.
Speaker 7 (24:44):
Thanks guys, And.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Hey, we're talking about whether or not Crocs are cool
or not this morning because gailis just realize that.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
They're back, even though apparently they've been back twelve months.
This guy sat down the other day at a cafe
and I had to lean because I didn't want to
to him. I said, to Ang, I said, rocks are back,
and she went she said, yeah, I know, And I went,
So they're back.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
And they're back because you know, they're collabing with designers,
all of the big stars are throwing them like bee
Bury all the attachments on top of it. And I've
just looked up a really interesting article from one of
the Kroc developers and founders and he's been asked these
questions from the National Retail Federation.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Okay, well this is good.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
And the question was, has anyone ever tried to make
Crocs look well, attractive and pull And this is what
he said. No, we are confident being ugly. We've been
ugly since two thousand and two. We have no intent
to change that. So they even know that they don't
look great.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Well, I've been ugly since two thousand and two as well,
and I'm not rich they're making money.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Maybe I should put some giblets on my face and whatever.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
They are, I.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Don't want to see you.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
I'm still likely gibbetsipps something else. Let's go to the phones.
Ten crocs, are they called or not?
Speaker 6 (26:24):
I love Crocs, but I was actually calling because the
story of those what do they call those little things
they put in crocs, gibbets. I saw a Yeah, I
saw a documentary one and it was this family. They
were by the swimming pool. They were wearing their crocs
and they have these little things in them, and the
guy went up to them. He said, it was an
outdoor swimming pool. I remember that, And he said, do
(26:44):
you mind if I ask you what those things are
in your crocs and where you got them? And they said, oh,
we just make them at home. We just think it's funky.
We'd dress them up. And he turned out to be
the founder of Crocs and they went into business together.
I just thought it was a nice neat bit of
the triba.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Okay, so let me get this right. I'm just so.
The founder of Crocs went to the family that had
made the gibbets.
Speaker 6 (27:07):
Yeah, they were at a swimming pool. They were a
public swimming pool one day, happened to be at the
same place at the same time.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Oh so that he said, that's made up and started
bit a gibbets business.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
Yeah, that's how the business was born, just randomly by
a family that liked crocs, was wearing them at the
pool and dressed the clocks up.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Okay, thank you, Tanya. Let's go to Donna in Southport
because she's actually got a little bit more to add
to this. Donna, we were just talking to Tanya about
how Gibbets started. You've got some interesting facts on what
gibbets were just sold for.
Speaker 7 (27:44):
Yeah, so they sat for thirteen million.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
They sold it to the Crock company thirteen million how
long ago?
Speaker 7 (27:51):
In the last two months.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Wow, I want to go the money if it's the
same families.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Yeah, anyway, a little bit country.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
A little bit contradicting that. Tanya was saying that apparently
a Croc founder was at the pool and saw some
people who decorated their crocs and that's a good idea,
let's go into business together.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Well that might might have just happened.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
No, No, I don't really know.
Speaker 7 (28:14):
I just read an article saying that they sold it
to the croc company for thirteen million.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Or maybe he might have brought them out.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Yes, it doesn't seem like enough though. That sounds like
a bargain now since they absolutely everywhere.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Mind you, I'll have thirteen million for a stupid idea too.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Actually you don't like it, there's another one. They're not
cool for you either. That's good and gentlemen, you.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Have a guest, we have a gas.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Let's get a big warm welcome, warm, welcome, Thank you
for the one.
Speaker 7 (28:48):
Welcome to the neighborhood.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
Welcome to the shoe.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Bab.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Good morning to you.
Speaker 9 (28:54):
Good morning to you. He is actually one something one
forty in the morning in Europe.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I hope you used to late nights, fab.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
Oh that's fun. I'm good. I'm good with it.
Speaker 9 (29:06):
You know of some.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Experience, Well yeah you do. It really is a good
morning to you early early morning. Well look, Mike, my
fifteen year old self would not believe that I'm talking
to one half of Milli Vanilli was one of those
girls singing the hairbrush to blame it on the rain.
But you have got I know, you've got such an
interesting life, like you started in poverty, signed yourself contracts
(29:29):
to have this great music career to get you out
of poverty at the height of fame, winning Grammys, then
crashed right back down again after discovering limp sinking. You know,
lost Rob your partner and as in Millivanilli partner and
then now time heals all wounds and here you are
kind of back on top again with this incredible story.
Speaker 9 (29:47):
Yeah, I'm really excited about the fact that finally the
toy moved into it properly with the rating and you
give to what in Robin fab shoes and really feel.
Speaker 8 (29:57):
That it was like because you had no idea to
believe it was like to be.
Speaker 9 (30:02):
At the forefront of all this because people putt fingers.
Speaker 8 (30:05):
That well that and thought, yeah, they're the corporate, they're.
Speaker 9 (30:08):
Responsible video or the orchestra and everything, which is kind
of a little chris to think about it, because there's
a whole team and staff and hundreds of people working behind.
Speaker 8 (30:18):
But you know, I was able to travel through times.
Speaker 9 (30:21):
I feel like I lived a hundred lives. But it
made me a better man and also better artists because
I believe that life gives you music and if you're
there to receive and still focus en up and healthy
enough to be there to receive and have your creativity
on point.
Speaker 8 (30:39):
Then you're going to make something out of what life
gave you. And me, being a music.
Speaker 9 (30:44):
Lover, I never I never left that kept working and
bettering myself.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Was it difficult to be the person that was at
the height of agulation and praise but knowing your secret,
like there must have been conflict or were you able
to decompartmental life?
Speaker 9 (31:02):
No, it was it was we were continuously conflicted, feeling conflicted,
feeling guilty, and and and the weight was getting heavier.
With the success rising, the weight got heavier, and the
more we had to be more reclusive, you know, because
we couldn't share the secrets. So it was a very
difficult time of my life. But also, you know, it
(31:27):
taught me a lot of things. It taught me a
lot lots of lessons that I still.
Speaker 8 (31:32):
Be live by today.
Speaker 9 (31:34):
But to be able to walk with that, you know,
on our shoulders and still be still still here, you know,
I think that it's a.
Speaker 8 (31:44):
Testment of my resilience.
Speaker 9 (31:46):
And I didn't know how resilience it would be. Everything
was uncertain, but I believe that uncertainty is really the
fail ground for creativity, and out of that I grew
back out stronger than ever.
Speaker 8 (32:00):
And I'm here now.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
You are for those, for those of the things that
are sort of piecing bits and pieces together. This new
documentary that comes out pieces together the whole full story.
And you, you and Rob actually could sing. And then
you were discovered by a producer and he made the
choice to put the lip syncing on there. And because
you'd signed contracts, yes, you had to go along with it.
(32:22):
As an artist. It must have been hurting you inside
to not be able to see.
Speaker 9 (32:27):
Well, the thing is, you know, for us, once we
walked into his trap, we really thought that we were
about to sing. So we found a recording contract, but
we didn't have a manager or was more attorneys, you know,
because of our you know, naivity and noise. We had
no experience thinking okay, we'll just do this one record
(32:48):
and it would be out. But then once you takes
the life and the success and this rock style lives,
well you you fall into it, you know. And it's
a too as well. When I was very young, I
was two years older than I was incredible story. You know,
I couldn't have written that. It sounds like like a movie,
(33:10):
but it is a true story.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
All right, we'll hold it right there, Fab, one half
of Millie Vanilli. We're gonna come back to you shortly.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
Want to find out if you'd ever contemplate bringing Millie
Vanilli songs down under again.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
We'll get to that next year. I wanted to do
Hot Tomato. This is Gaily and Emily Jai and Emily Jade.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Do you ever look at your life, Fab and feel
like you're looking down on a different life? Do you
ever think, Wow, they can't believe this has been my life.
Speaker 9 (33:34):
I cannot believe that I came out of it alive,
and sometimes I thought I wouldn't.
Speaker 8 (33:39):
But somehow my resilience.
Speaker 9 (33:41):
And my drive and my will to want to just
steal stead the music industry and my love for music.
Speaker 8 (33:51):
I see it.
Speaker 9 (33:52):
Music saved my life. And Rob's got his heartbroken, so
he got have a broken heart. But music was there
to seize me, and I was willing to listen because
I know I was connected to music. It was the
one thing that I really wanted to do in my life,
becoming you've seen a songwriter, producer, And it took some time,
but my dream came through.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
How hard was it when you lost Rob because he
was the only other person that walked in the same
shoes as you and knew exactly what it felt like
to be going through. I would imagine you felt almost isolated.
Speaker 9 (34:26):
I felt so wrongly, I'm gonna tell you, because the
one person that could share, you know, because we shared
so many moments together, and having him gone out of
this realm was devastating. It was really devastating. I want
to lose someone this cal was really challenging. So for me,
I wrote, I went deep into songwriting and wrote an
(34:49):
album called Revolution, and that was very therapeutic for me.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
One thing I think you could probably look back and go, wow,
we were courageous is that you did the press conference
and you revealed that you had been lip syncing and
that you were giving back your Grammys. When you look
at that now, that was possibly the most courageous thing
anyone could ever do, because a lot of people don't
(35:14):
do that. They just hide away and they don't face
their problems.
Speaker 9 (35:19):
Well, you know, it was we had to do it
because the fact that you were so tired of being
you know, being pushed around and not being in control,
and the one thing you knew is that things would change.
We didn't know how drastic it would be, but it changed.
I mean it went from night and day and you
(35:39):
know we're saying, you loose, saying gradually, just like you
know water cools down some being very hot to look
warm and too cold. But from one day to the
next it one calls for us and people had no respect.
And you know I always used that phrase, you know,
something to shame and people care after us forgetting that
(36:01):
we were human beings because we were so high up
on the pedestal and that when they came, they came
with hatchet, they came or they came to destroy it.
And but I believe that with documentary people will finally
understand what happened and how we felt and that it
wasn't faring and how we were treating. Some people do
(36:22):
worse things and didn't get treated this way.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
It sounds like this is almost like retribution or a
love letter to Rob and the loss of his life
because of you know, the producers that did this to you.
Speaker 9 (36:35):
I'm sure he knows that that we told the story,
and when he's looking down on us, I know that
it would be proud of the fact that it turned
out to be what it is to buckle up because
it's an emotional story.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Oh wow, you real to watch it? Can't wait?
Speaker 2 (36:53):
Bab Would you ever sing Milli Vanilli songs again?
Speaker 5 (36:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (36:56):
I do.
Speaker 8 (36:56):
You have to go online, go on YouTube and watch
me do my game.
Speaker 9 (37:00):
I killed those songs. I've give them me now their mine.
Nobody can take that away from me, that's for sure.
I hope that. You know, maybe next year I'll be
coming to Australia and tear up the stings that they
usually do.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Thats you, Well, if you come to the Gold Coast,
come on into the studio. We'd love to meet you
face to face.
Speaker 9 (37:21):
Well, will make that happen and listen to music. It's
been by my side. I said, music is safety, safety
and music has taken me around the world a few times,
and I know we're going to do it again.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Good on your fab buckle up, see sir.
Speaker 9 (37:36):
Yes, sir, and thank you for thinking the time. Since
next year I'll be standing in front of you.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Want to make a little listener feel better. The little
lad that played Kids double or Nothing this morning at
seven am. So we've had the same question all week
about what is the name of a baby horse, and
three days in a row kids have got it wrong
called it a calf, except for today the little lad
(38:03):
playing he obviously because we've been making a joke about it. Obviously.
Perhaps I think what happened is he's written down what
it's called, and then I think he's sounded He's like dad,
I think he's sounded it out, and then he got
it wrong because the way he sounded it out is
still not correct. Have listened for forty dollars?
Speaker 1 (38:23):
What is a baby horse called.
Speaker 7 (38:28):
A foul or false?
Speaker 2 (38:32):
So obviously it's a foul, but I reckon he went
f o a l ow oh, And so he couldn't
win because you know, Songe's got her cranky preggy pants on,
and she was.
Speaker 8 (38:43):
Like, no.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Complaint, stem on anyway, She's stronger than us. She can
deal with complains. Are we crumble? Anyway? I want to
make this little lad feel better because I saw this
on Instagram and it's a girl that says, imagine if
we said words the way the letters actually sounded.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
Oh yes, yes, yes, we'd.
Speaker 2 (39:05):

Yeah, STU.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
When I go into a room and can't remember why
I'm in that room, walk around the room when I
come in here for your stupid woman, don't remember it?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Stupid stupid man.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
All right, Okay, so you know how they think with
research that the man flu is really a thing that
it's worse for men when they get the flu.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
They tried to research and prove it.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Probably another stupid fan trying to get behind that research
and I didn't.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
They wanted to see.
Speaker 8 (02:38):
It was worse.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yeah, and they found that it was somehow it is.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Yeah, it is, but I can't remember what the actual
the reason why. But this is the stupid bit, right,
because men trying to say, hey, I've got man flu
and it's real, have tried to compare it to something
that you shouldn't compare it to.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yes, come, I know, alright, you ready stupid if it man?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
All right and a little bit brave here it is,
I'm not gonna like it, Okay. Only a woman who's
delivered a baby without an EPI dural can.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Truly understand the pain a man goes through when he
has the flu. Has they said? Stupid stupid man, that's
what he said.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Do you have his address in detail?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I noticed? I notice.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Show him what child birth feels like, anonymous, Yeah, I
had two babies with no effie durls born absolutely naturally.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Look at you go, yes, well, if you ever had
the man fluke.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
And gentlemen do we have a guest.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
We have a guest. Let's give a big, warm welcome,
very warm welcome. Thank you for the one.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
Welcome to the neighbor.
Speaker 9 (03:51):
Welcome to the Shoe's Amanda, Good morning, Good morning everyone here.
Speaker 10 (03:56):
Are you going?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
We are good? How are you, Amanda?
Speaker 7 (03:59):
I'm good.
Speaker 11 (04:00):
I'm juggling two kids at the moment on a swing
at a sea saw.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
So we'll see how this goes.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Oh, that's what you need before you have to perform
in front of everyone in the next couple of days.
Speaker 11 (04:12):
Well, they'll be there as well in the crowd, so
I'll probably be more nervous about what they're doing than
what I have to do on stage. As you know
with quere can be a disaster. So you see how
it all goes.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Well done, So you're rang through and got tickets on
the line.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
They've been the hottest twit in town, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
They are.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (04:34):
Yeah, everyone's been asking me, and I know that they're
all gone out in front of the stage, but it
still come because there's big screen set up everywhere, all
the entertainment, food trucks and everything will be all throughout hotter,
so it's still going to be a fabulous afternoon.
Speaker 10 (04:47):
Now, Steve, we the entertainment and the entertainment that we're
god like. It's just fantastic. It's one of the great
events of the year that occurs on the Gold Coast
and with the likes of human nature performing, it's just
going to be just going to be a fabulous.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Even And Steve, there's a roomor you're going to sing
this year?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
So I did you know what?
Speaker 10 (05:07):
Do you know what, Emily JD. I don't know whether
we should let the secret out that we've been secretly
rehearsing and all that's been going on. You know, I
think the good thing is that I was I was
warned off actually singing, and look, Bob la Castra. The
good thing is that he stepped in and saved the
day for everyone who's there that doesn't have to put
(05:27):
up with my singing on the night.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
And it's funny that with Bob he saves the day
every single years.
Speaker 11 (05:36):
In all seriousness, size I think, e J you should
take Steve under your wing because he jokes about it
every year, but he really does want to get up
there and bust.
Speaker 10 (05:43):
Out of Carol.
Speaker 11 (05:44):
So I think you two doing a duet? What more
could we.
Speaker 10 (05:48):
Ask for us all it's on the bucket list to
perform a Christmas carols. Look, I'd love to be able
to sing and be fantastic.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
What's your what's your What would your choice be?
Speaker 10 (05:58):
If you've got a choice, look the complete opposite to
watch you like a silent night? That's almost been one
of my great favorites.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
So does that mean you just stand there and lip
sick with no sound coming out?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And that's why it's silent. But you've got it in one.
Speaker 10 (06:12):
You've got it in one. You have guys a Bastian
or someone like that to do a bit of singing
for me in the background.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Are you doing a bit of Millie Vanilla? He'll be
behind the curtains.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Let's do it. Let's make that dream come true. Not
this year, but maybe next year, Steve, and then a
mandate we're going.
Speaker 10 (06:30):
To we're going to need twelve months of practice for sure.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Well, Bradley Cooper can learn to sing in twelve months.
For a Star is born, we can scrub you up, Steve.
For a star is not born.
Speaker 10 (06:43):
It could be the total end of my career. Lockstock
and Barrel would say, we never ever want to see
this place. Ever again.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
All right, goes, well, it's on Saturday. Still sort of
spaces around activation sites and everything that aren't ticketed so
people can get there and watch them on the big screens.
But of course this should be a big crab with
all the ticketed area as well. So a really nice
Christmas feel and good luck on Saturday.
Speaker 7 (07:09):
So much can't wait. Cheese guys looking forward to it.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Emily, do you do this?
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Like you've got your phone and you're flicking through on
Instagram and then you see a little fitness video and
it might go you know, upp a mini upper body
you work out, so you save it and you put
it with all your stuff. I do do that, and
then you get you see another one where it might
be a Chinese kung fu master that's doing some sort
(07:35):
of move behind his back with his hands, like do
this and you get slim, So you save that. I've
got about one hundred and fifty fitness videos in my
phone saved.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
That's good.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
In Instagram now you can actually when you save a
video for later. They used to just put them all
in one big file. Now they've got categories, so you
can make a fitness file a food file Yeah, you know, funny,
I just send them to myself, so you said, so
you save them for yourself underneath the file that you want.
So when you go and do your workout, you just
(08:08):
go straight to your fitness file of all the little
save videos.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Well that's clever.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Well, needless to say, the one hundred and fifty in
my phone have not been used. If they're all there,
I've got all these upper body you know, and get
your butt into shape for summer.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Do you know all of this stuff?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
This might make you feel a little bit better. Ready,
I've read this once. I don't know if it's still
statistically true because science does change fast. But apparently, even
just looking at somebody doing fitness, watching something on a
phone or on television, what happens in your body. Your
body starts to get excited that you might be doing
a workout, and you actually burn a few little extra calories.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Well, if that's the case, I should look like Chris Hims.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
One hot tomato.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
In a moment, I'm going to tell you who the
highest earning celebrity is on OnlyFans and it is an Australian.
But first, when I talk about this, Cody Simpson has
announced the end of his swimming career in twenty twenty four,
he put a little Instagram post up because he's been
asking it a lot, been asked that question a lot,
(09:19):
and he said, look, I've been doing this every day
for three years now. There are only eight months left
in my preparation, which I believe calls for more content
and updates on the path. Training is going well. I
give what I ever, whatever I have to give every day,
learning a lot about myself, loving feeling this healthy. But
thinks will wrap up his career after the twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Games, right goodness to make the team keep.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Swimming, you could do he I mean, he's it's like
a tenth of a second shy of winning a silver
or winning some kind of silverware at the last international
event behind a guy called Matthew States from South Africa.
So tenth of a second try like he's nearly there.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
He's getting close.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Was that for the fifty butterfly?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yes, it was the one hundred meters It was for
the World Cup inter Athens.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Okay, So he's in good form, Yes he is.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
He's fit and he's got head in the right spot.
Great girlfriend to you know, high hopes for him to
keep going. Look, he's okay, But Jimmy Barnes said yesterday
that he had to cancel a big gig. He was
doing a big super cruise called Rock the Boat. Have
you call artists on there, and he's had to cancel
(10:34):
it because he's got pneumonia. Gaily next material too, he does.
He actually in his post he said that, you know
the complicated, had to take it seriously. Is an ivy
antibiotics for a couple of days, and he said complications pneumonia, sepsis,
respibery failure, lung abscesces, and even death. So you've got
(10:55):
to take pneumonia seriously, as you learned this year. But
his daughter Mahalia is still gonna be performing on that boat.
Pretty good, isn't it. Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
You know, at one Barns in and if all of
them are available, we can throw in Casey.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
His unofficial sum, which is no relation anyway. Highest earning
celebs on OnlyFans have been announced twenty three. Amber Rose
twenty six million dollars. She comes at number five. She's
the ex of Kanye West. You know, the really stunning
girl that had the short blonde hair, remember her really vo.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Lumpshow to be honest, I don't really remember.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
If I showed you a picture, you would remember it's
waiting for Kim Kardashian, and you know he likes a type.
The next one is Bella Thorne. She's the Disney star
thirty two million. She's made out of bony fans, black China.
Now she's the ex Robert Kardashian right, and she's made
(11:53):
between thirty two and forty five. They didn't have what
she had, but she's coming third. But she jumped off
her She wasn't finding it good for her space, so
she made a lot of money and then jumped off it.
Cardi b forty five million dollars this year, this one year.
And the number one is Mum and Bimbie's Iggy Zalia
(12:14):
No way, Yes, forty eight million dollars. She's made this year.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Alone on only fans.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
On OnlyFans for one year, and she's jumping off it too.
She's done this interesting thing. So she created not just
like an OnlyFans, she created like a concept and called
it the Hotter than Hell project. Became really creative with
her contents, so really engaged people. They wanted to be
a part of this content. It wasn't just here I
(12:41):
am in a shower. She was making art and she's
now going to turn that into a coffee table book
as well and make some more money out of it.
So forty eight million dollars I want they do.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
What are they doing on that though? To get that
much money?
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Well, I haven't looked.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Skin the question, and I'm not like, oh, you should
see it.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I haven't looked. But with somebody making forty eight million
dollars out of it in one year, I am certainly
curious and wondering does that part of me look okay?
Speaker 3 (13:14):
But I think the thing is because they've got They've
got profile, though, so they will attract more to their site.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
To start with, what are you saying? Not than you?
Speaker 3 (13:24):
It's not about you. I'm comparing to everyone like that.
That's why they're getting the forty eight Yeah you know
what I mean.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah, they are. But you could create yourself, you could become.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
A celebrity one.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
But I'm sure there's a lot of celebs going, wow,
forty eight million dollars and you're prancing around in your undies.
Signed me up, Sign me up? Anyway, I have a
look at that later to day and let you know
how I go.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
This is one O two nine hot tomatoes. We're going
to talk crocs. Scaly's outraged.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
I'm shocked, and it's been a slow build, but I
want to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
EJ knows a little bit about it as well.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
But I saw an article yesterday and also but just
the last couple of weeks, there's been a little bit
of a spike.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Actually after us playing the show yesterday and then I
went home and said something about what we're about to
talk about next yes, and the whole house just went.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Did they?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
They just went, where's so slow?
Speaker 3 (14:24):
No one that we're not, because this is the time
to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
It's just happened. Yes, you have to be on the
trend to talk about it.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
You can be sort of at the end of it.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Was at a cafe on the weekend.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
I was sitting there with a and this like sat
down and probably in his twenties, and he's got his
girlfriend with him, and they sat down and I looked
down and had crocs on. Now that's not the first
pair of crocs that I've seen lately. I've noticed a
few other times that I saw some crocs and I
saw one pair of Crocs about a week and a
(15:03):
half ago, also at a cafe with some like sitting
down there with all those little attachment attachments.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Gibbets, gibberts, crickets. So I'm thinking. So I went to
whisper To and because I didn't want the black to
hear me.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
I said, I think Crocs are back like that, and
she goes, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Know, and I said yeah, well she said it in normal.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Sound, said it when you said EJ Crocs a bat
And I'm like, well, no.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
No, okay, so well this is this argument back to me.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
They were like on everyone's Christmas.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Yeah, well okay, Crocs the shoe, not the reptile, back
from the fashion brink. And that was written two days ago, right,
so the holy slip ons their back.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
They're part of everyone's wardrobe.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
What I found interesting that the people from Platypus, these
guys would talking about it from Adelaide. They're out selling
their added ass and Nike and Essex where.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Okay, this is literally me gaily. I went into Platypus
pack fair and when I asked for Crocs, the young
girl they're like roller eyes at me, roller eyes, and
went yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
There's none left, like you.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I was the one hundredth customer that day that had
walked in and gone, excuse me, where are the crocs?
And then she's like, go over to this store, and
I went to that store the nun left, go over that.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
This was last year.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
This was last Christmas, right, that was last Christmas? And
then this year it's the gibbets go trying to find gibbets.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Well, there's there was some limited editions such as Shrek
and Lightning McQueen. Crocs they're selling on eBay for about
two hundred at the moment, so.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
It's a turnaround.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
I mean, you think about it, like you used to
be able to go to the markets and see all
the crocs in there, and it was kind of you know,
I'm not going to lie, it was a bit of
lame town.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
We did a thing years ago, gay Live because I
used to hate crocs and not want crocs, and then
before you started working with me, it was like a challenge.
I had to wear crocs for a week and con
I was I was having to work with an evening
dressed to a cocktail party and I had to wear
them trying to do some exercise and I had to
like wear these crocs and I was like, oh, I'm offended.
Now I'm like, they're high heel ones with fur and
(17:23):
gibbets and they look like they've got measles.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
And so they've had it.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
They've had a really productive meeting somewhere along the line
where we said we've got a product, we've got to
make it happen.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
So a marketing team have got together.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
So but this is the question I want to ask,
because you can still have an opinion on them. Right
a lot of people are buying them. I want to
go down the pathway. Are crocs cool?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Right?
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Because I'm back there. I want are they cool or
are they not? That's just pretty simple because some people
will still go lame o. Some people are like, get
with the times. Crocs are back, Crocs are back, baby.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I read an article that in New Zealand they're banning
crocks because there's scraps in the playgrounds over the gibbets there.
You can't wear crocs to school.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Well, how do you hang a pair of crocs over
the power lines?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Apparently crocs have taken over schoolies. That's another little article
I read that everyone at schoolies has got crocs. So
if you go down to the shoreline, it's just everyone
abandoning their crocs as they walk on to the sand.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Crocs are at our beaches. We will never be able
to swim again.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
That's a little hot pink Barbie one with its gibbs.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
I can't buy a croc gibbets double five nine a
call for being involved in the show today. You could
squeeze of a family pass to the city of Gold
Coast and Mayor's Christmas Carols.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Which we found out recently are pretty much sold out.
They're in demand.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Crocs there, Yes, crocs, what do you think? Yes or no?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
I'm still no, I still have no. I'm still not
doing it. My kids have both got them and they
got gibbets and it's all lots of fun, still know
for me.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
So you think they're a little lame, just that's what
we're talking about, lame or not lame.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
I feel like I look like a smurf when I
wear them. You know how little smurf feet they have
the big shoe.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
That means you think they're lame.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Yeah, I don't want to look like that.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
So cool or not cool? Talking about crocs at the moment.
I never thought that i'd say they're back.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
I thought they were gonsky lame.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah, like a joke. Well it kind of.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
It kind of was that, and they tried and but
people used to still say that had them, but they
said they weren't cool. They still said that, Oh, but
they're really comfortable. So there's no never been a question
on them being comfortable. But now they're back, and there's
these gibbets.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Gibbets, that's what's made to add to them. It's how
you add your personality.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
So that's why so smart with the marketing.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
But our question is good because they're obviously back in,
But are they cool?
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Do you still think they're cool or you're hanging on
to them being lame.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
I'm going to tell you last night I was at
home and were getting ready for the Mayor's Carols and
you and I are hosting, and I was brainstorming with
the fam and I was like, Okay, I want Gally
to come on stage with the big sack of toys
and I'll be all excited that he might have something
good in there for me. And he pulls out a
pair of crocs and I hate them, and my whole
family went, what, No crocs are cool? That'd be an
(20:20):
awesome present.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
All right, So they're saying they're cool.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
They're saying they're cool. I was like to bring them
out as if they were daggy with like, I don't know,
a can of baked beans or something, and they're like, no,
crocs are awesome. Everyone will be so excited that Gaily
got your crocs.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
They're not as cool as fish flops from BCF.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Something completely different. All we want to know are crocs.
We know they're back. Are they cool or not cool?
Joe from Helen's.
Speaker 11 (20:42):
Ville, Hello, Hello, good morning.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
There were crocs cool or they not?
Speaker 10 (20:48):
I personally think no, But my husband loves.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Them and we bought him last year.
Speaker 11 (20:53):
I think it was for.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
His birthday limited edition Jimmy Buffett crocs. They come with
an bottle openers, They have slices of lime gibbits, a
little salt shaker ice cubes. They are ugly, but he
loves them and we took them all the way to
Cancun on a recent holiday travel.
Speaker 7 (21:18):
He loves his crooks.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Yes, do you know what it's I think it's an
extension of personality to be honest and that's the market.
It's the marketing genius behind it. I mean, we'll call
it for what it is. When they went, people don't
think they're cool anymore, they were like, how can we
make people feel a connection to what's on their feet?
And that's what these gibbets have done.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Whoever came up with the gibbets idea for the company,
I don't have the separate do you buy them?
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Separate the gibbies? You do?
Speaker 2 (21:44):
And you there and they're you know how you said,
like at the markets you see people selling their crocs.
Gibbets are now like a market stable. There'll be like
three or four stalls selling gibbets, and the gibbets can
be anything. So my kids are fighting over, you know,
a Bronco's badge. I finally bought one. Oh I like
Broncos more. No, I like Broncos more. And you know
they've got their names on there and all sorts of stuff.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
We'll have to get them a Titans one so that
they consider, yeah there is a sit in that space.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I hadn't found one yet.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Oh okay, well Titans get onto it.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Yeah, all right, let's go to Jason from Kingscliff, Crocs
cool or not.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
I don't think they're very cool on with Gaily I'm old.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
But my young fellow, the youngest squatter, he loves it.
Speaker 8 (22:26):
He's got two pairs.
Speaker 7 (22:27):
But I reckon they should.
Speaker 10 (22:28):
All come with an Obbath tracksuit and glean and maybe
a mullet.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Man. That can be one of the gibbets.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
You get a strap on mulletrap on.
Speaker 10 (22:39):
What's well?
Speaker 7 (22:40):
There you go, mate, a bit of fur down of cross.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
And a little flap at the back.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
That's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
It works, Jason.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
All right, let's try Cassandra from Oxenford Crocs cool or not. Cassandra, No,
that's it.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Right, thanks for your contribution, big contribution.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Clearly, clearly you just want to go to the Carol's Cassandra.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
That's all good.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
And now then car Is from Burly Heads Crocs cool

Speaker 7 (23:16):
Now I've got a trending hashtag at work, hashtag no
to Crocs all of my stuff for what made you
get a pair for Christmas? I won't even let my
customers bring them into my new data center. The stuffy.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
That's funny. You need a T shirt? I hate Crocs.
Speaker 7 (23:33):
Oh, do you know what, I'll be happy to wander
around with one of those shirts. Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
So you have you seen have you noticed that they've
come back into fashion?
Speaker 7 (23:43):
I have, and like I said, that's absolutely foul. And
these bloody bit things whatever you call them, gibbets.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yeah, those headlights.
Speaker 7 (23:51):
Why do you know headlights in your shoes?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
There is actually gibbets at light up?
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Oh really like headlights?
Speaker 2 (23:59):
I think you put little tops now back of minor.
Speaker 7 (24:02):
I mean, I'm still I feel I'm still quite young.
But when I worked at a cafe, the chefs were
wearing crops, and I think that's the only place that
they belong to in a commercial kitchen.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
That's because they're comfortable, right, because you're on your feet
all day.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
You can sterile them because they're plastic.
Speaker 7 (24:21):
Yeah, so there, I'm not fashionable. I hope it when
people wear flocks of them.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Tag again crocs, no.
Speaker 7 (24:30):
Hashtag, no crocks.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
You convinced? Congratulations?
Speaker 4 (24:34):
You want a family pass in the City of Gold
Coast Mayor's Christmas Carols at Hotter outdoor stage, Saturday, December second,
which is only a couple of days away, headlined by
human Nature.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Congratulations, Charis fbulous.
Speaker 7 (24:44):
Thanks guys, And.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Hey, we're talking about whether or not Crocs are cool
or not this morning because gailis just realize that.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
They're back, even though apparently they've been back twelve months.
This guy sat down the other day at a cafe
and I had to lean because I didn't want to
to him. I said, to Ang, I said, rocks are back,
and she went she said, yeah, I know, And I went,
So they're back.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
And they're back because you know, they're collabing with designers,
all of the big stars are throwing them like bee
Bury all the attachments on top of it. And I've
just looked up a really interesting article from one of
the Kroc developers and founders and he's been asked these
questions from the National Retail Federation.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Okay, well this is good.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
And the question was, has anyone ever tried to make
Crocs look well, attractive and pull And this is what
he said. No, we are confident being ugly. We've been
ugly since two thousand and two. We have no intent
to change that. So they even know that they don't
look great.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Well, I've been ugly since two thousand and two as well,
and I'm not rich they're making money.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Maybe I should put some giblets on my face and whatever.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
They are, I.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Don't want to see you.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
I'm still likely gibbetsipps something else. Let's go to the phones.
Ten crocs, are they called or not?
Speaker 6 (26:24):
I love Crocs, but I was actually calling because the
story of those what do they call those little things
they put in crocs, gibbets. I saw a Yeah, I
saw a documentary one and it was this family. They
were by the swimming pool. They were wearing their crocs
and they have these little things in them, and the
guy went up to them. He said, it was an
outdoor swimming pool. I remember that, And he said, do
(26:44):
you mind if I ask you what those things are
in your crocs and where you got them? And they said, oh,
we just make them at home. We just think it's funky.
We'd dress them up. And he turned out to be
the founder of Crocs and they went into business together.
I just thought it was a nice neat bit of
the triba.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Okay, so let me get this right. I'm just so.
The founder of Crocs went to the family that had
made the gibbets.
Speaker 6 (27:07):
Yeah, they were at a swimming pool. They were a
public swimming pool one day, happened to be at the
same place at the same time.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Oh so that he said, that's made up and started
bit a gibbets business.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
Yeah, that's how the business was born, just randomly by
a family that liked crocs, was wearing them at the
pool and dressed the clocks up.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Okay, thank you, Tanya. Let's go to Donna in Southport
because she's actually got a little bit more to add
to this. Donna, we were just talking to Tanya about
how Gibbets started. You've got some interesting facts on what
gibbets were just sold for.
Speaker 7 (27:44):
Yeah, so they sat for thirteen million.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
They sold it to the Crock company thirteen million how
long ago?
Speaker 7 (27:51):
In the last two months.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Wow, I want to go the money if it's the
same families.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Yeah, anyway, a little bit country.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
A little bit contradicting that. Tanya was saying that apparently
a Croc founder was at the pool and saw some
people who decorated their crocs and that's a good idea,
let's go into business together.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Well that might might have just happened.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
No, No, I don't really know.
Speaker 7 (28:14):
I just read an article saying that they sold it
to the croc company for thirteen million.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Or maybe he might have brought them out.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Yes, it doesn't seem like enough though. That sounds like
a bargain now since they absolutely everywhere.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Mind you, I'll have thirteen million for a stupid idea too.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Actually you don't like it, there's another one. They're not
cool for you either. That's good and gentlemen, you.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Have a guest, we have a gas.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Let's get a big warm welcome, warm, welcome, Thank you
for the one.
Speaker 7 (28:48):
Welcome to the neighborhood.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
Welcome to the shoe.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Bab.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Good morning to you.
Speaker 9 (28:54):
Good morning to you. He is actually one something one
forty in the morning in Europe.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I hope you used to late nights, fab.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
Oh that's fun. I'm good. I'm good with it.
Speaker 9 (29:06):
You know of some.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Experience, Well yeah you do. It really is a good
morning to you early early morning. Well look, Mike, my
fifteen year old self would not believe that I'm talking
to one half of Milli Vanilli was one of those
girls singing the hairbrush to blame it on the rain.
But you have got I know, you've got such an
interesting life, like you started in poverty, signed yourself contracts
(29:29):
to have this great music career to get you out
of poverty at the height of fame, winning Grammys, then
crashed right back down again after discovering limp sinking. You know,
lost Rob your partner and as in Millivanilli partner and
then now time heals all wounds and here you are
kind of back on top again with this incredible story.
Speaker 9 (29:47):
Yeah, I'm really excited about the fact that finally the
toy moved into it properly with the rating and you
give to what in Robin fab shoes and really feel.
Speaker 8 (29:57):
That it was like because you had no idea to
believe it was like to be.
Speaker 9 (30:02):
At the forefront of all this because people putt fingers.
Speaker 8 (30:05):
That well that and thought, yeah, they're the corporate, they're.
Speaker 9 (30:08):
Responsible video or the orchestra and everything, which is kind
of a little chris to think about it, because there's
a whole team and staff and hundreds of people working behind.
Speaker 8 (30:18):
But you know, I was able to travel through times.
Speaker 9 (30:21):
I feel like I lived a hundred lives. But it
made me a better man and also better artists because
I believe that life gives you music and if you're
there to receive and still focus en up and healthy
enough to be there to receive and have your creativity
on point.
Speaker 8 (30:39):
Then you're going to make something out of what life
gave you. And me, being a music.
Speaker 9 (30:44):
Lover, I never I never left that kept working and
bettering myself.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Was it difficult to be the person that was at
the height of agulation and praise but knowing your secret,
like there must have been conflict or were you able
to decompartmental life?
Speaker 9 (31:02):
No, it was it was we were continuously conflicted, feeling conflicted,
feeling guilty, and and and the weight was getting heavier.
With the success rising, the weight got heavier, and the
more we had to be more reclusive, you know, because
we couldn't share the secrets. So it was a very
difficult time of my life. But also, you know, it
(31:27):
taught me a lot of things. It taught me a
lot lots of lessons that I still.
Speaker 8 (31:32):
Be live by today.
Speaker 9 (31:34):
But to be able to walk with that, you know,
on our shoulders and still be still still here, you know,
I think that it's a.
Speaker 8 (31:44):
Testment of my resilience.
Speaker 9 (31:46):
And I didn't know how resilience it would be. Everything
was uncertain, but I believe that uncertainty is really the
fail ground for creativity, and out of that I grew
back out stronger than ever.
Speaker 8 (32:00):
And I'm here now.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
You are for those, for those of the things that
are sort of piecing bits and pieces together. This new
documentary that comes out pieces together the whole full story.
And you, you and Rob actually could sing. And then
you were discovered by a producer and he made the
choice to put the lip syncing on there. And because
you'd signed contracts, yes, you had to go along with it.
(32:22):
As an artist. It must have been hurting you inside
to not be able to see.
Speaker 9 (32:27):
Well, the thing is, you know, for us, once we
walked into his trap, we really thought that we were
about to sing. So we found a recording contract, but
we didn't have a manager or was more attorneys, you know,
because of our you know, naivity and noise. We had
no experience thinking okay, we'll just do this one record
(32:48):
and it would be out. But then once you takes
the life and the success and this rock style lives,
well you you fall into it, you know. And it's
a too as well. When I was very young, I
was two years older than I was incredible story. You know,
I couldn't have written that. It sounds like like a movie,
(33:10):
but it is a true story.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
All right, we'll hold it right there, Fab, one half
of Millie Vanilli. We're gonna come back to you shortly.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
Want to find out if you'd ever contemplate bringing Millie
Vanilli songs down under again.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
We'll get to that next year. I wanted to do
Hot Tomato. This is Gaily and Emily Jai and Emily Jade.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Do you ever look at your life, Fab and feel
like you're looking down on a different life? Do you
ever think, Wow, they can't believe this has been my life.
Speaker 9 (33:34):
I cannot believe that I came out of it alive,
and sometimes I thought I wouldn't.
Speaker 8 (33:39):
But somehow my resilience.
Speaker 9 (33:41):
And my drive and my will to want to just
steal stead the music industry and my love for music.
Speaker 8 (33:51):
I see it.
Speaker 9 (33:52):
Music saved my life. And Rob's got his heartbroken, so
he got have a broken heart. But music was there
to seize me, and I was willing to listen because
I know I was connected to music. It was the
one thing that I really wanted to do in my life,
becoming you've seen a songwriter, producer, And it took some time,
but my dream came through.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
How hard was it when you lost Rob because he
was the only other person that walked in the same
shoes as you and knew exactly what it felt like
to be going through. I would imagine you felt almost isolated.
Speaker 9 (34:26):
I felt so wrongly, I'm gonna tell you, because the
one person that could share, you know, because we shared
so many moments together, and having him gone out of
this realm was devastating. It was really devastating. I want
to lose someone this cal was really challenging. So for me,
I wrote, I went deep into songwriting and wrote an
(34:49):
album called Revolution, and that was very therapeutic for me.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
One thing I think you could probably look back and go, wow,
we were courageous is that you did the press conference
and you revealed that you had been lip syncing and
that you were giving back your Grammys. When you look
at that now, that was possibly the most courageous thing
anyone could ever do, because a lot of people don't
(35:14):
do that. They just hide away and they don't face
their problems.
Speaker 9 (35:19):
Well, you know, it was we had to do it
because the fact that you were so tired of being
you know, being pushed around and not being in control,
and the one thing you knew is that things would change.
We didn't know how drastic it would be, but it changed.
I mean it went from night and day and you
(35:39):
know we're saying, you loose, saying gradually, just like you
know water cools down some being very hot to look
warm and too cold. But from one day to the
next it one calls for us and people had no respect.
And you know I always used that phrase, you know,
something to shame and people care after us forgetting that
(36:01):
we were human beings because we were so high up
on the pedestal and that when they came, they came
with hatchet, they came or they came to destroy it.
And but I believe that with documentary people will finally
understand what happened and how we felt and that it
wasn't faring and how we were treating. Some people do
(36:22):
worse things and didn't get treated this way.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
It sounds like this is almost like retribution or a
love letter to Rob and the loss of his life
because of you know, the producers that did this to you.
Speaker 9 (36:35):
I'm sure he knows that that we told the story,
and when he's looking down on us, I know that
it would be proud of the fact that it turned
out to be what it is to buckle up because
it's an emotional story.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Oh wow, you real to watch it? Can't wait?
Speaker 2 (36:53):
Bab Would you ever sing Milli Vanilli songs again?
Speaker 5 (36:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (36:56):
I do.
Speaker 8 (36:56):
You have to go online, go on YouTube and watch
me do my game.
Speaker 9 (37:00):
I killed those songs. I've give them me now their mine.
Nobody can take that away from me, that's for sure.
I hope that. You know, maybe next year I'll be
coming to Australia and tear up the stings that they
usually do.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Thats you, Well, if you come to the Gold Coast,
come on into the studio. We'd love to meet you
face to face.
Speaker 9 (37:21):
Well, will make that happen and listen to music. It's
been by my side. I said, music is safety, safety
and music has taken me around the world a few times,
and I know we're going to do it again.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Good on your fab buckle up, see sir.
Speaker 9 (37:36):
Yes, sir, and thank you for thinking the time. Since
next year I'll be standing in front of you.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Want to make a little listener feel better. The little
lad that played Kids double or Nothing this morning at
seven am. So we've had the same question all week
about what is the name of a baby horse, and
three days in a row kids have got it wrong
called it a calf, except for today the little lad
(38:03):
playing he obviously because we've been making a joke about it. Obviously.
Perhaps I think what happened is he's written down what
it's called, and then I think he's sounded He's like dad,
I think he's sounded it out, and then he got
it wrong because the way he sounded it out is
still not correct. Have listened for forty dollars?
Speaker 1 (38:23):
What is a baby horse called.
Speaker 7 (38:28):
A foul or false?
Speaker 2 (38:32):
So obviously it's a foul, but I reckon he went
f o a l ow oh, And so he couldn't
win because you know, Songe's got her cranky preggy pants on,

deal with complains. Are we crumble? Anyway? I want to
make this little lad feel better because I saw this
