- 0:13Speaker 2: How are you? Morning.
- 0:15Speaker 1: What's going on?
- 0:17Speaker 2: Not a lot, actually.
- 0:18Speaker 3: You know what I did yesterday? Do you remember, is
- 0:22Speaker 3: there such thing as a social? My next door neighbor,
- 0:25Speaker 3: she's got- Like a formal. So in year 10 and
- 0:27Speaker 3: year 12, obviously the school puts on formals for the school.
- 0:31Speaker 3: But then they have these things called socials and they're
- 0:34Speaker 3: basically formals or the like of, but.
- 0:37Speaker 2: They're organized by the students at the school.
- 0:40Speaker 1: Is that a private school thing? I don't remember them.
- 0:42Speaker 2: It's a public school. Yeah, they definitely weren't around. Did
- 0:44Speaker 2: we have them? No, we did not.
- 0:46Speaker 1: Right, okay.
- 0:46Speaker 3: And I was just like, so my next door neighbor
- 0:48Speaker 3: came over yesterday and I did her makeup for the social.
- 0:52Speaker 3: And so I was kind of like, tell me more
- 0:54Speaker 3: about it. She said, oh, like all the students just
- 0:56Speaker 3: organized it.
- 0:57Speaker 1: So it's a party.
- 0:57Speaker 2: They're getting stretch hummers into the city on a boat.
- 1:01Speaker 3: And I was like, are there any adults on the boat?
- 1:03Speaker 3: She's like, well, I don't think so. Like the boat people.
- 1:06Speaker 4: How old are they?
- 1:06Speaker 2: 16, 17.
- 1:09Speaker 1: But they're going to have a formal in a few
- 1:10Speaker 1: months anyway.
- 1:11Speaker 5: No, no, no.
- 1:11Speaker 2: They're in year 11.
- 1:13Speaker 1: Oh, so they're doing.
- 1:14Speaker 3: So they're basically, they've thrown themselves another party in year 11.
- 1:17Speaker 2: And I said, how bloody good.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Yeah, but unnecessary. You just had your year 10 one.
- 1:23Speaker 1: You're going to have your year 12 one. They usually
- 1:25Speaker 1: do them, what, around October, November.
- 1:27Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:27Speaker 6: Next year, though.
- 1:29Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 1:29Speaker 2: Do you really need that? Do you remember actually being
- 1:32Speaker 2: that organised?
- 1:33Speaker 3: In year 11, I couldn't pull together a house party
- 1:37Speaker 3: where my house would get trashed. But I'm not organising
- 1:41Speaker 3: boat parties and hummers into the city.
- 1:43Speaker 1: It's more about the after party anyway.
- 1:45Speaker 2: No, there's no after parties because none of them drink.
- 1:48Speaker 8: Boring.
- 1:50Speaker 3: I just thought it was interesting. Like they've gone on
- 1:53Speaker 3: this big boat, but there's no alcohol.
- 1:54Speaker 1: I agree. You know, the year 10 formal.
- 1:57Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 1:58Speaker 1: For some reason, I don't know why my parents let me.
- 2:00Speaker 1: I went to them and I said, I want to
- 2:02Speaker 1: have the after party.
- 2:03Speaker 2: Oh my God.
- 2:04Speaker 1: How good are my parents?
- 2:05Speaker 2: And they said yes.
- 2:06Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:06Speaker 1: And I'm thinking about it. Dad would have had to
- 2:08Speaker 1: work the next day. It would have been a Wednesday
- 2:09Speaker 1: night or some crap. Anyway, we started organizing it and
- 2:12Speaker 1: they said, you better do the right thing and tell
- 2:13Speaker 1: the neighbors. So we went and did, you know, some
- 2:16Speaker 1: little letterbox drop, writing a note. One of the neighbours,
- 2:19Speaker 1: don't know who, we still don't know who to this day,
- 2:21Speaker 1: called the coppers or whatever. Police visit my parents' house.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Probably not a good idea to have it. We'll be
- 2:27Speaker 1: monitoring if there's underage drinking. They involved the school.
- 2:30Speaker 9: Oh.
- 2:31Speaker 1: I had to cancel the whole thing.
- 2:33Speaker 2: Oh.
- 2:34Speaker 1: And it moved to some other chick put her hand up,
- 2:36Speaker 1: my house-o-mate. We went to the house-o-houses. They were fine
- 2:40Speaker 1: with it.
- 2:40Speaker 2: The housing commission, yeah. They would have been fine with it.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Like a couple of levels there. I've got to think
- 2:45Speaker 1: about that. My parents, why would they agree to that?
- 2:48Speaker 1: They were like, yeah, we'll have a bunch. Good sports.
- 2:50Speaker 2: I know.
- 2:50Speaker 1: And then, hang on. Maybe it was dad that called
- 2:53Speaker 1: the police. Maybe there were no police.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Maybe your dad wanted to appear to be really easygoing.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Maybe it was like, oh, the cops have called me.
- 3:00Speaker 1: We can't do it. Yeah. Go and do it at
- 3:02Speaker 1: your house-o-mate's house instead.
- 3:04Speaker 2: Self-sabotage to your house-o-mate's house.
- 3:07Speaker 1: That or it was one of the neighbours. I mean,
- 3:08Speaker 1: if you got a letterbox drop, there's going to be
- 3:11Speaker 1: an after-party here on a Wednesday night going through till
- 3:15Speaker 1: three in the morning. You probably would call the cops.
- 3:17Speaker 3: I get letterbox drops now from people in our street
- 3:21Speaker 3: and I want to be understanding because I was young
- 3:24Speaker 3: one day.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Oh, look at the hours you're doing. Imagine your neighbour
- 3:28Speaker 1: was having a year's head after party.
- 3:30Speaker 2: One of the houses in my street, I won't name names, but.
- 3:33Speaker 3: They have these huge big parties and the music is
- 3:36Speaker 3: so loud and it comes straight into my backyard, which
- 3:39Speaker 3: is where my bedroom is, and it'll go to like
- 3:41Speaker 3: two in the morning. And I'm like, I'm not going
- 3:44Speaker 3: to be that person that ever complains or calls the
- 3:46Speaker 3: cops or anything, but.
- 3:48Speaker 6: I've wanted to.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Yeah, well now.
- 3:50Speaker 2: I wouldn't because I was young once.
- 3:52Speaker 1: They don't know who calls the cops, that's the thing.
- 3:54Speaker 2: Don't they?
- 3:54Speaker 1: Well, no, they don't knock on the door and go,
- 3:57Speaker 1: Amy Gerard has topped on you.
- 3:58Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 3:59Speaker 1: Hey, I'm talking to big parties. AFL Grand Final this weekend, Saturday.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Kylie Minogue performing. That is confirmed. But big story going around, Sean,
- 4:09Speaker 1: about the following weekend, the NRL Grand Final. No performer.
- 4:13Speaker 10: No pre-match entertainment. Now, they booked in Tones and I
- 4:17Speaker 10: to do this show. And according to the SMH, they're
- 4:20Speaker 10: saying that discussions broke down between the NRL and Tones
- 4:25Speaker 10: and I.
- 4:26Speaker 6: All about the song Dance Monkey.
- 4:28Speaker 1: She doesn't want to do it?
- 4:29Speaker 6: She doesn't want to do it.
- 4:30Speaker 10: She's spoken about it before that she really loathes the song.
- 4:33Speaker 10: She doesn't like the song. It was a big hit.
- 4:35Speaker 1: The one that made her famous.
- 4:37Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 4:39Speaker 6: It was so big. It was in the top ten
- 4:41Speaker 6: around the world at the time.
- 4:43Speaker 7: It was huge.
- 4:43Speaker 6: It was just massive.
- 4:45Speaker 10: But she said she didn't want to do it apparently,
- 4:47Speaker 10: and the NRL said, oh, we'll stuff it. We'll put
- 4:49Speaker 10: the money into grassroots footy and not have an entertainment.
- 4:52Speaker 1: We're just not having you.
- 4:53Speaker 2: Oh, so they wouldn't even accept a different song by her?
- 4:57Speaker 6: No, they wanted her to do that song.
- 4:59Speaker 1: I mean, if she'd only had one hit, fair enough.
- 5:02Speaker 3: She's got other songs that she can sing.
- 5:03Speaker 1: Yeah, like Fly Away and.
- 5:07Speaker 1: We'll have a look at it later on this hour.
- 5:08Speaker 1: We'll find a few others. So I can only think
- 5:10Speaker 1: of one. And also you've been reporting about, so there
- 5:13Speaker 1: will be no performance.
- 5:14Speaker 6: No performance.
- 5:15Speaker 10: They are saying that there's going to be no performer there.
- 5:17Speaker 10: So it's huge news because they've always had someone.
- 5:19Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think anyone.
- 5:21Speaker 2: Do people really care about that?
- 5:23Speaker 1: I've been there. I was there. It was Jimmy Barnes
- 5:26Speaker 1: was performing. That stadium there at Homebush, really hard to
- 5:29Speaker 1: hear anything. Maybe if you're there, you care. But on TV,
- 5:35Speaker 1: you're just waiting for the game.
- 5:37Speaker 2: Jimmy Barnes would have been epic.
- 5:39Speaker 10: I think the TVs rely on the performer as well.
- 5:43Speaker 6: They want people glued onto the game.
- 5:44Speaker 1: If it's big enough, you'd think so. Yeah, but I
- 5:47Speaker 1: still think the main game is the game.
- 5:49Speaker 9: That's it.
- 5:50Speaker 1: And then you've been talking about Princess Diana's brother a
- 5:53Speaker 1: few times this week.
- 5:54Speaker 10: Yeah, so the book has dropped and it's got all
- 5:57Speaker 10: of these allegations about a lot of people, mainly politicians.
- 6:00Speaker 6: King charles in there yeah he really.
- 6:02Speaker 1: Doesn't like his brother-in-law does.
- 6:03Speaker 10: He yeah but he's had to apologize earl spencer he's
- 6:06Speaker 10: had to apologize because he claimed that pierce morgan who's
- 6:10Speaker 10: a broadcaster there over there in the uk was the
- 6:12Speaker 10: editor of the daily mail in 93 when it published
- 6:14Speaker 10: photos of diana exercising in the gym now pierce wasn't
- 6:18Speaker 10: there at all he didn't hold that position until 95
- 6:20Speaker 10: and now he's calling for the book to be removed
- 6:22Speaker 10: from the shelves but the big question is How much
- 6:25Speaker 10: of this book is true?
- 6:26Speaker 2: Is also fabricated.
- 6:27Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 6:28Speaker 1: Memories, eh? Like you forget things.
- 6:31Speaker 2: I don't remember what I did like four hours ago.
- 6:33Speaker 3: There's no way I would remember stuff like that.
- 6:37Speaker 1: But you sat down and wrote a book. It's called
- 6:39Speaker 1: In Bed With Amy Gerard or whatever it is.
- 6:41Speaker 2: It's called Strap Yourself In, Sunshine, In Bed With Amy Gerard.
- 6:45Speaker 1: You could have called it that. But did you like
- 6:47Speaker 1: fabricate and lie because you don't really remember?
- 6:50Speaker 3: I don't think I lied, but I wrote what I
- 6:53Speaker 3: thought my truth was. But, you know, when I– like
- 6:56Speaker 3: I wrote about my childhood and I was writing about
- 6:58Speaker 3: stuff and I was like, oh, wow, like I really
- 7:01Speaker 3: viewed my dad in that way. But I don't know
- 7:04Speaker 3: if that's the right way, but it was my– the
- 7:06Speaker 3: way I perceived my dad as a child growing up.
- 7:09Speaker 1: Yes.
- 7:10Speaker 2: It was quite a dominating– somewhat sexist dude.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Yeah. Did he read that?
- 7:17Speaker 2: Yeah, he did read it.
- 7:18Speaker 1: Was he offended?
- 7:18Speaker 2: No, I did make sure I wrote it eloquently. Like,
- 7:24Speaker 2: I wasn't shit canning him at any point.
- 7:26Speaker 3: But their relationship is a lot more of a, it's
- 7:28Speaker 3: a much more traditional relationship. Like, my daddy very much
- 7:31Speaker 3: is the man of the house. My mum is somewhat submissive.
- 7:35Speaker 1: Same with my girl.
- 7:36Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 7:36Speaker 2: But it works for them. It works for them. They've
- 7:39Speaker 2: never had any issues.
- 7:39Speaker 1: Your mum could deep down hate him. We don't know.
- 7:41Speaker 2: She probably does.
- 7:43Speaker 3: But yeah, writing about it. So, and it also, this
- 7:47Speaker 3: guy probably hates Charles, right?
- 7:50Speaker 9: Yep.
- 7:50Speaker 7: So.
- 7:51Speaker 1: You're saying like your judgment's clouded.
- 7:53Speaker 5: Yes.
- 7:53Speaker 7: Maybe.
- 7:53Speaker 1: And memories. I mean, this is, when did she die?
- 7:56Speaker 3: 1997.
- 7:56Speaker 5: 97.
- 7:56Speaker 6: It's a long time ago.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Yeah. And it just feels like a little bit of
- 8:00Speaker 2: a cash grab, if I'm honest.
- 8:02Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 8:02Speaker 1: You see his teeth, by the way?
- 8:04Speaker 6: Whose teeth? The brother.
- 8:06Speaker 9: No.
- 8:06Speaker 1: Just watch him interview. He's got really good veneers.
- 8:09Speaker 6: Okay.
- 8:11Speaker 1: You know how most English people have terrible teeth? Yeah.
- 8:14Speaker 2: It's the water over there, right?
- 8:15Speaker 1: No. There's no fluoride in the water.
- 8:18Speaker 2: No, actually, Alec has really nice teeth.
- 8:21Speaker 1: Give us a look.
- 8:21Speaker 6: Thanks, Amy.
- 8:22Speaker 1: Yeah, look at those.
- 8:24Speaker 6: I've hired braces.
- 8:26Speaker 2: Yeah, my mum's a pom. Her teeth are... Are they awful?
- 8:29Speaker 3: They are.
- 8:30Speaker 1: I think it's actually an older thing. It got better.
- 8:32Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 8:32Speaker 1: It was more like people born in the 50s or 60s.
- 8:34Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be Mustang, yeah.
- 8:36Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Hey, let's get into the show. We are sending you
- 8:39Speaker 1: to the Formula One Grand Prix. Your chance coming up
- 8:43Speaker 1: in the next 30 minutes. Brooke Shields is hanging out.
- 8:46Speaker 1: Our pop quiz where you can win a thousand bucks.
- 8:48Speaker 1: We'll do it at seven and eight. The chance to
- 8:50Speaker 1: drive away in a brand new car. And now there
- 8:53Speaker 1: are rumors Robbie Williams could be also performing with Kylie
- 8:57Speaker 1: on Saturday. Has anyone heard that? Or did I make
- 8:59Speaker 1: them up?
- 9:00Speaker 6: That'd be huge.
- 9:01Speaker 2: I reckon you made that up.
- 9:02Speaker 7: Right.
- 9:02Speaker 1: Well, is he even in the country?
- 9:06Speaker 7: Checking that now.
- 9:09Speaker 1: Won't go anywhere until we find out. The reason I
- 9:10Speaker 1: bring up Robbie, you could go and see him. You
- 9:13Speaker 1: got a double pass to see Robbie if you play
- 9:15Speaker 1: tradie versus lady. Right now I'm 13-106-5.
- 9:20Speaker 7: Not till November. So unless he's coming like a month early.
- 9:25Speaker 1: It's one of those.
- 9:26Speaker 2: Where did you make that fact up?
- 9:27Speaker 1: Where did I make it up?
- 9:28Speaker 6: It's in his book.
- 9:29Speaker 7: Did you just want a way to segue into the prize?
- 9:32Speaker 1: No, really.
- 9:32Speaker 6: I heard it.
- 9:33Speaker 1: I did hear it.
- 9:34Speaker 6: Okay.
- 9:34Speaker 1: They were like, Google Robbie Williams AFL grand final Kylie Minogue.
- 9:39Speaker 1: That'll be your story. We're not going anywhere until we
- 9:41Speaker 1: do this.
- 9:43Speaker 6: That's the thing, isn't it?
- 9:44Speaker 10: Whenever there's someone in town and something like this happens
- 9:48Speaker 10: where you need someone, they always just go, oh, well,
- 9:49Speaker 10: who's here?
- 9:50Speaker 1: Well, and they did that track Kids Together.
- 9:52Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 9:53Speaker 1: Robbie, remember that one?
- 9:54Speaker 8: Kids.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Don't mind doing it for, you.
- 9:57Speaker 2: Don't know that? Oh, yes. Is that Robbie and Kylie?
- 9:59Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 10:00Speaker 2: I actually like that song.
- 10:01Speaker 1: It's a good track, isn't it?
- 10:02Speaker 7: Mate, I don't know where you pulled this thing from.
- 10:04Speaker 7: There is nothing.
- 10:05Speaker 1: Must have dreamt it.
- 10:07Speaker 6: You dreamt it.
- 10:09Speaker 1: Who dreams about Robbie Williams?
- 10:11Speaker 6: You do.
- 10:12Speaker 7: You, evidently.
- 10:13Speaker 4: He is a great guy.
- 10:14Speaker 1: I swear it's out there. I'm going to find it.
- 10:16Speaker 2: I'm Googling now too.
- 10:17Speaker 1: And you can go and see Robbie Williams live, rumoured
- 10:21Speaker 1: to be performing at the AFL Grand Final with Kylie Minogue.
- 10:24Speaker 2: No, absolute lies, Mikey.
- 10:27Speaker 1: I swear I heard that somewhere.
- 10:29Speaker 2: No, and I've just Googled in the ad break and
- 10:31Speaker 2: it's not there either.
- 10:32Speaker 1: Really? Anyone else?
- 10:33Speaker 2: Maybe you were dreaming.
- 10:35Speaker 1: Nothing.
- 10:36Speaker 7: He's here in November. He played the AFL Grand Final
- 10:39Speaker 7: a couple of years ago on his own. headline merits, whatever,
- 10:44Speaker 7: I don't know where you've got this information from.
- 10:46Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 10:47Speaker 7: Unless you've got insider knowledge that none of us know about.
- 10:51Speaker 1: I swear I heard it. Sean, you're a journalist.
- 10:53Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm having a look. It doesn't pop up anywhere, Mikey.
- 10:56Speaker 2: I know.
- 10:59Speaker 7: Sean's so much nicer at letting you down than we are.
- 11:01Speaker 8: We're like, nah.
- 11:01Speaker 2: This guy here.
- 11:03Speaker 1: Never heard of it. Maybe I dreamt it.
- 11:06Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 11:07Speaker 1: Anyway. You can go and see him November. He's actually
- 11:10Speaker 1: coming here for his Brit top. No, it's Brit pop.
- 11:13Speaker 1: Brit pop.
- 11:14Speaker 2: Not Brit top.
- 11:15Speaker 7: Jesus.
- 11:16Speaker 2: Brit pop tour.
- 11:18Speaker 1: You can't blame me for saying Brit top?
- 11:20Speaker 2: Brit pop.
- 11:21Speaker 1: What's a Brit top?
- 11:23Speaker 2: Nothing.
- 11:24Speaker 1: Don't ask.
- 11:25Speaker 7: In my community, it means something you don't want to know.
- 11:29Speaker 2: Oh, a Brit top.
- 11:31Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 11:32Speaker 2: Is that a thing? Is that a thing?
- 11:33Speaker 7: Well, I mean, anyone can be a top or a bottom.
- 11:36Speaker 7: Do I have to go through this? Do I have
- 11:38Speaker 7: to explain this?
- 11:39Speaker 2: Like a pitcher and a catcher.
- 11:40Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 11:41Speaker 2: A British guy who's the top.
- 11:44Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
- 11:45Speaker 7: If you type those words into certain apps, you'll definitely
- 11:47Speaker 7: find a lot of willing participants.
- 11:50Speaker 1: Robbie's not doing that on the tour.
- 11:51Speaker 2: No, he's not.
- 11:53Speaker 4: No.
- 11:53Speaker 1: Not performing with Kylie on Saturday. Either. Let's play tradie
- 11:58Speaker 1: versus lady. You can go and see Robbie.
- 12:00Speaker 2: Good morning, Bron.
- 12:03Speaker 1: Hello.
- 12:03Speaker 12: Morning, guys.
- 12:04Speaker 2: Hi. How are you?
- 12:05Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm very excited. The prospect of going to see Robbie.
- 12:10Speaker 2: I know.
- 12:12Speaker 3: I reckon his concert would be absolutely amazing. He feels
- 12:14Speaker 3: like he's quite cheeky.
- 12:16Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, he's a naughty man.
- 12:18Speaker 9: Very, very.
- 12:18Speaker 13: Yes.
- 12:19Speaker 1: It'd be great with Kylie on Saturday as well.
- 12:22Speaker 2: Okay, let it go, buddy. So, Bron, you work as
- 12:24Speaker 2: a driving instructor.
- 12:26Speaker 3: Are you helping, like, us– well, not me, but, like,
- 12:29Speaker 3: young L-platers get their P's and stuff?
- 12:31Speaker 12: Yeah, I am. Yeah, mainly, yeah, 16-, 17-year-olds on the whole, yeah,
- 12:34Speaker 12: get their P's.
- 12:35Speaker 1: Do you get some random, like, 40-year-old people that have
- 12:38Speaker 1: never learned how to drive? Do you get some oldies?
- 12:41Speaker 13: Yeah, I do.
- 12:42Speaker 12: I do. Only occasionally and so much more difficult, to
- 12:46Speaker 12: be honest.
- 12:47Speaker 2: I would have thought that as well.
- 12:48Speaker 3: I think when you're a bit younger, your brain is
- 12:50Speaker 3: still a bit fleshy and spongy and you can absorb
- 12:53Speaker 3: things and pick things up quicker.
- 12:55Speaker 12: Yeah, kids play sport and they're coordinated.
- 12:58Speaker 3: Yes, my sister-in-law has never, ever got her driver's license.
- 13:01Speaker 2: And I was like, how do you get around?
- 13:04Speaker 1: How does she get around?
- 13:04Speaker 3: Well, because she's never had her license, she just relies
- 13:07Speaker 3: solely on public transport. And she doesn't know any different.
- 13:11Speaker 3: Whereas it would be hard for us to now not drive.
- 13:15Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
- 13:15Speaker 1: When I put my car in for service, which, by
- 13:18Speaker 1: the way, I was annoyed by. Me and Mercedes, you'd
- 13:20Speaker 1: think they'd give you a car.
- 13:22Speaker 6: They don't?
- 13:23Speaker 4: Nah.
- 13:24Speaker 2: You're just paying for the badge.
- 13:26Speaker 1: It's the one in our area that own, like, heaps
- 13:28Speaker 1: of car companies, and their service is not great. So
- 13:31Speaker 1: I've had to get a train, and I'm like, oh,
- 13:33Speaker 1: people do this all the time. How's that?
- 13:36Speaker 3: All right, Bron, you drive a Honda CR-V. You are
- 13:40Speaker 3: separated with three kids.
- 13:42Speaker 2: Are they all grown? Are they any at home with you?
- 13:44Speaker 12: I've got one I'm teaching how to drive, yeah. He's 16.
- 13:47Speaker 9: 16?
- 13:47Speaker 12: So I've come home and had to do the same job. But, yeah, 16,
- 13:51Speaker 12: 21 and 23.
- 13:52Speaker 9: Oh, lovely.
- 13:53Speaker 3: Well, I'll be sending my kids over to you, Bron,
- 13:56Speaker 3: when it's time for them to– I don't think I
- 13:58Speaker 3: have the patience.
- 13:58Speaker 12: To– Yeah, come and see me at Hart at St Ives.
- 14:01Speaker 2: There you go. Ring the bell.
- 14:04Speaker 13: Woo!
- 14:04Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember Dad was better. Mum, I remember Mum
- 14:07Speaker 1: ripping the handbrake up once because she thought I was
- 14:09Speaker 1: going to go through a roundabout or something. Mum was panicky.
- 14:12Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I learnt on a manual.
- 14:14Speaker 6: Me too, yeah.
- 14:14Speaker 3: Like kids these days only have to learn on auto,
- 14:16Speaker 3: which I reckon is going to be a blessing.
- 14:18Speaker 1: Who do you think would be better at teaching your
- 14:19Speaker 1: daughter though, Ryan or you?
- 14:21Speaker 2: Oh, definitely me. Ryan is a stress head.
- 14:24Speaker 8: Oh, right.
- 14:24Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
- 14:25Speaker 2: Or we're just going to send them all to Bron.
- 14:28Speaker 12: Yeah, let's go to Bron.
- 14:31Speaker 2: Yeah, and what happened at your own birthday party? Did you–
- 14:36Speaker 2: something happened to you?
- 14:37Speaker 12: Yeah, I– Unfortunately, I agreed to have shots, which I
- 14:41Speaker 12: wouldn't normally do, and I basically was that dizzy, took
- 14:45Speaker 12: myself to the bathroom, sat down, fell asleep, and I
- 14:49Speaker 12: got woken up by the cleaner at 3 a.m. What age?
- 14:55Speaker 12: I'm 27.
- 14:56Speaker 2: Oh, my God. God love you. Shots will do it
- 14:58Speaker 2: to you.
- 14:59Speaker 3: I went to a girlfriend, my next door neighbour, she
- 15:01Speaker 3: had her 18th, and I got there at about 7pm.
- 15:05Speaker 3: They'd invited some of the adults up the street, and
- 15:07Speaker 3: I could see her doing shots, and by 9.40 she
- 15:10Speaker 3: was spewing.
- 15:12Speaker 2: Her guts up and passed out in her bedroom. It's
- 15:15Speaker 2: just kind of like a rite of passage.
- 15:18Speaker 12: The culprit that gave me the shots, I ended up
- 15:20Speaker 12: marrying him. Can you believe that? Oh, you had a plan.
- 15:25Speaker 1: Everyone has a shot they've thrown up off and then
- 15:27Speaker 1: can't drink it again. Like mine, is it Sambuca? Sambuca,
- 15:30Speaker 1: whatever it is, that liquor.
- 15:32Speaker 6: Sambuca.
- 15:33Speaker 10: The black Sambuca because they've got the white one as well.
- 15:35Speaker 10: Black one, I can't have it.
- 15:37Speaker 1: What was the shots, do you remember?
- 15:38Speaker 12: Yeah, it was vodka.
- 15:41Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 15:42Speaker 2: Vodka shot, yeah.
- 15:43Speaker 1: They're never good unless you're Russian.
- 15:45Speaker 2: Yeah, nah.
- 15:46Speaker 3: All right, weighing in at 70 kgs, it's the Sleeping Lutai.
- 15:51Speaker 2: Bronn.
- 15:52Speaker 7: Sleeping Lutie.
- 15:53Speaker 2: Lutie.
- 15:54Speaker 4: Oh, sorry.
- 15:55Speaker 2: Oh, wow. It's a sleeping Lutie. Bron!
- 16:03Speaker 1: So good when we have to explain the nicknames.
- 16:05Speaker 2: It says Lutie. Okay, yeah, Lutie. It's a play on
- 16:09Speaker 2: Sleeping Beauty.
- 16:09Speaker 6: Got it.
- 16:10Speaker 1: Should I just read mine before we meet him so
- 16:12Speaker 1: I don't screw it up?
- 16:13Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 16:13Speaker 1: All right, I get it. All right, John. How are you, man?
- 16:18Speaker 2: Hey, John.
- 16:19Speaker 9: Excellent.
- 16:20Speaker 1: How's yourself?
- 16:20Speaker 7: Good morning.
- 16:21Speaker 1: You're a truckie. What, you got a big truck or
- 16:22Speaker 1: a little truck?
- 16:24Speaker 8: No, I just do skip-ins.
- 16:26Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
- 16:26Speaker 1: Gotcha. You got a Mitsubishi Outlander when you're not driving
- 16:29Speaker 1: the truck. Married with two kids. Now, tell us, when
- 16:33Speaker 1: you were 17, you're out on a date with the
- 16:36Speaker 1: lady that is now your wife. What went wrong? I
- 16:40Speaker 1: got booked for speeding by my father-in-law to be.
- 16:43Speaker 6: Oh, no.
- 16:44Speaker 1: He's a cop, huh?
- 16:44Speaker 2: Was he a highway patrol? Yes, he got me.
- 16:47Speaker 7: And gave me a huge lecture and proceeded to follow
- 16:51Speaker 7: me all the way back to his place.
- 16:52Speaker 1: Oh, but he didn't fine you?
- 16:53Speaker 7: He did, yes.
- 16:55Speaker 1: Oh, he still did? Come on, man, your daughter's in
- 16:57Speaker 1: the car.
- 16:58Speaker 2: No, even more reason why he's getting fined.
- 17:00Speaker 3: How dare you speed with my precious cargo in the car?
- 17:04Speaker 1: How was your relationship with him? Afterwards.
- 17:07Speaker 11: No, we get along now.
- 17:08Speaker 5: He jokes about it now, but yeah, we get along
- 17:10Speaker 5: really good. Yeah.
- 17:11Speaker 3: My dad would be exactly the same. My dad was
- 17:14Speaker 3: a police prosecutor.
- 17:15Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 17:15Speaker 2: And so he was like real big.
- 17:17Speaker 3: I remember my husband when he first met my dad,
- 17:21Speaker 3: we were playing this game and Ryan's really competitive and
- 17:24Speaker 3: he had beat me in the game. So he did
- 17:26Speaker 3: this like pretend WWE wrestle move where he tried to
- 17:30Speaker 3: like hold me above his head and then crack me
- 17:32Speaker 3: over his knee.
- 17:33Speaker 2: I obviously didn't get.
- 17:34Speaker 3: Hurt and it was all in jest, but my dad
- 17:37Speaker 3: was like, now, like, does Ryan manhandle you like that?
- 17:40Speaker 2: Like, does he?
- 17:41Speaker 3: You know, does he, you know, joke around and is rough?
- 17:44Speaker 2: And I was like, oh, God, Dad. He was just
- 17:46Speaker 2: really nervous. He made it.
- 17:48Speaker 9: But, yeah.
- 17:48Speaker 1: Who wrestles, by the way, their girlfriend in front of
- 17:52Speaker 1: their father?
- 17:53Speaker 2: He was so nervous. When Ryan gets nervous, he gets
- 17:56Speaker 2: really dumb. Yeah.
- 17:59Speaker 1: Okay, good on you. Now weighing in at 85 kilos,
- 18:02Speaker 1: the father, the furious, it's John. Yeah, John. Yeah, John.
- 18:08Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 18:08Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 18:09Speaker 2: All right, John, I got your questions.
- 18:11Speaker 4: Here we go.
- 18:12Speaker 6: Yep.
- 18:13Speaker 2: All right, why would a woman use a scrunchie?
- 18:18Speaker 11: To hold her hair up.
- 18:19Speaker 2: Yay!
- 18:19Speaker 1: Well done. Are they still in, scrunchies?
- 18:22Speaker 6: They sure are.
- 18:23Speaker 1: They go in and out, don't they?
- 18:24Speaker 2: Well, they never. I mean, back in the 80s, they'd have, like,
- 18:28Speaker 2: the fluoro yellow ones and stuff.
- 18:29Speaker 1: Yeah, bring that back.
- 18:30Speaker 2: I love a scrunchie. They're much better on your hair
- 18:32Speaker 2: as well.
- 18:33Speaker 1: Weren't scrunchie undies as well? Or am I making that up?
- 18:37Speaker 9: Um.
- 18:38Speaker 2: There weren't... Maybe. I don't know.
- 18:41Speaker 1: Maybe I'm making things up like the Robbie Williams performing
- 18:44Speaker 1: with Kylie this weekend.
- 18:45Speaker 2: Maybe it's another Mikey fact.
- 18:48Speaker 7: All right.
- 18:48Speaker 3: Name the massive Aussie recipe website run by Nagi Mayhashi.
- 18:57Speaker 5: Name the which, sorry?
- 18:59Speaker 2: Massive Aussie website.
- 19:00Speaker 1: Stop the music. It's... No, I don't want to say it.
- 19:05Speaker 14: No, I'm not going to get that.
- 19:06Speaker 1: No.
- 19:06Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 19:08Speaker 2: Recipe Tin Eats.
- 19:10Speaker 1: Yeah, she's huge online. You know the woman? No?
- 19:14Speaker 2: No.
- 19:15Speaker 1: I was walking in the city once with an ex-girlfriend
- 19:17Speaker 1: who spotted her.
- 19:19Speaker 8: Oh, yeah?
- 19:19Speaker 1: And stopped her and fangirled.
- 19:20Speaker 6: All over her.
- 19:21Speaker 2: Is this the one?
- 19:21Speaker 3: Was there a bit of controversial around another cook?
- 19:25Speaker 7: She accused another, yeah, chef, baker, famous person of plagiarising
- 19:31Speaker 7: a recipe?
- 19:31Speaker 2: Yes, that's the only reason I know.
- 19:33Speaker 1: How do you plagiarise a recipe?
- 19:35Speaker 7: The two were very, very similar.
- 19:37Speaker 6: You're right.
- 19:38Speaker 7: Like every recipe for a caramel slice is going to
- 19:40Speaker 7: be fundamentally the same.
- 19:42Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 19:42Speaker 7: But these two were there. She pointed out a whole
- 19:45Speaker 7: bunch of similarities. I don't know where that landed, but yeah,
- 19:47Speaker 7: it was a whole thing.
- 19:48Speaker 2: I remember it being a big thing. All right, last question.
- 19:52Speaker 2: Is Sangiovese a red wine or a white wine?
- 19:55Speaker 4: I'll be red.
- 19:57Speaker 2: Yes, well done, John. Do you like a Sangiovese?
- 20:01Speaker 11: Me, I wouldn't know what it is.
- 20:05Speaker 2: I was so impressed.
- 20:05Speaker 3: I just got back from Tuscany and they're predominantly famous
- 20:09Speaker 3: for their Sangiovese.
- 20:10Speaker 1: I get confused by all them. Like I know a Shiraz,
- 20:13Speaker 1: I know a Kab, Sav, and I know a Merlot.
- 20:16Speaker 1: Once you start going GSM and Malbec and all, I'm
- 20:20Speaker 1: just like, I don't know what that crap is.
- 20:21Speaker 2: Yeah, all right. They're all delicious. That's what they are.
- 20:24Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 20:25Speaker 8: All right.
- 20:26Speaker 1: Bron, ready to go?
- 20:28Speaker 12: Ready to go.
- 20:29Speaker 1: Okay. Brisket. Yum comes from what kind of animal? Brisket.
- 20:36Speaker 1: A cow. Yes. Beef brisket. You can't make a pork brisket?
- 20:41Speaker 9: No.
- 20:42Speaker 2: No, you can't.
- 20:43Speaker 4: No.
- 20:43Speaker 1: All right. When talking about cars, what is a tonneau?
- 20:49Speaker 1: A tonneau.
- 20:51Speaker 12: Yeah, it's like a half-ton truck.
- 20:56Speaker 9: No.
- 20:56Speaker 11: With a tray.
- 20:59Speaker 1: No. It's the open top area of a ute or
- 21:03Speaker 1: a pickup truck. Yeah, the back of the ute. Yeah,
- 21:05Speaker 1: but you didn't say that. You weren't describing that.
- 21:07Speaker 4: Okay.
- 21:08Speaker 2: All good.
- 21:09Speaker 1: The Stig. Oh, yeah, I remember that. The Stig.
- 21:12Speaker 2: Yeah, the Stig.
- 21:13Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 21:13Speaker 1: Was a character in which TV show? Stig. Stig.
- 21:20Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 21:20Speaker 12: How was the character?
- 21:21Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 21:22Speaker 9: Oh, gosh.
- 21:24Speaker 12: Was it Top Gear?
- 21:25Speaker 2: Yes.
- 21:26Speaker 5: Oh.
- 21:27Speaker 1: Well done. So we got two each.
- 21:30Speaker 2: Yes.
- 21:30Speaker 1: You know what that means.
- 21:31Speaker 2: Tiebreaker. Tiebreaker.
- 21:32Speaker 14: All right.
- 21:33Speaker 1: Let's bring John back in. Guys, just yell out the answer.
- 21:36Speaker 1: Amy's going to give you the question. Here we go.
- 21:39Speaker 6: All right.
- 21:39Speaker 2: Good luck, guys.
- 21:40Speaker 3: What chemical element is represented on the periodic table by
- 21:45Speaker 3: the letter O?
- 21:46Speaker 1: Oxygen.
- 21:47Speaker 6: Oxygen.
- 21:49Speaker 1: The girl? Yeah.
- 21:50Speaker 7: You're going to.
- 21:51Speaker 2: Robbie, Bron.
- 21:52Speaker 7: Woo-hoo!
- 21:53Speaker 13: Fantastic!
- 21:54Speaker 15: Woo-hoo!
- 21:57Speaker 1: Hello, good morning. You're hanging out with Mikey Amy Gerard
- 22:00Speaker 1: for Chemist Warehouse.
- 22:01Speaker 3: Yeah, so two-thirds of Australians say that they'd be willing
- 22:05Speaker 3: to go out for breakfast on On a first date.
- 22:08Speaker 3: So I'm not talking about going out for breakfast on
- 22:12Speaker 3: like a Saturday or Sunday. I'm talking about going out
- 22:15Speaker 3: for breakfast before work.
- 22:17Speaker 1: During the week. During the week.
- 22:19Speaker 3: So it's part of a new research done by Kellogg's,
- 22:23Speaker 3: the Cornflake people, into changing dating habits, which- I'm not
- 22:30Speaker 3: opposed to it. I think that, you know, I personally
- 22:33Speaker 3: would like a glass of wine on a first date
- 22:36Speaker 3: just to kind of calm the nerves and whatnot.
- 22:38Speaker 1: Oh, my first dates were always drinks. Like just a few, whatever.
- 22:42Speaker 3: But I do know, I actually have some single friends
- 22:45Speaker 3: who are in the dating world and none of them drink.
- 22:48Speaker 2: So I was like, what do you do on your
- 22:50Speaker 2: first date?
- 22:51Speaker 1: That's why they're single.
- 22:55Speaker 6: Don't say that.
- 22:56Speaker 2: You spoke it like a true alcoholic, Mikey.
- 22:59Speaker 1: Could you go on a date without a drink?
- 23:03Speaker 2: I like my first dates to be with some form
- 23:06Speaker 2: of alcohol as well.
- 23:07Speaker 1: You're just as bad as I am.
- 23:09Speaker 3: But I do enjoy it. But, you know, so she'll
- 23:12Speaker 3: go for walks or they do coffees and stuff. I
- 23:15Speaker 3: don't hate this idea because, let's be honest, When you
- 23:18Speaker 3: get up in the morning, it's when you're the freshest,
- 23:20Speaker 3: so you're freshly showered, you smell good, you've brushed your teeth.
- 23:25Speaker 1: You've got that morning light on you. Thinking for me,
- 23:29Speaker 1: by the way.
- 23:30Speaker 2: Yeah, for you, maybe.
- 23:31Speaker 1: No, I need a dark club.
- 23:32Speaker 3: It's the only way people come back for a second
- 23:34Speaker 3: date if they don't actually know what you look like.
- 23:37Speaker 1: I actually used to choose wine bars and stuff that
- 23:40Speaker 1: I knew were quite dark.
- 23:43Speaker 2: Well, I also think it's good because you've also got
- 23:46Speaker 2: a hard out.
- 23:47Speaker 3: So let's say the date's not going well and you're going, oh, God,
- 23:49Speaker 3: I'm clocking this.
- 23:50Speaker 1: You've got to go to work.
- 23:51Speaker 6: Oh, sorry.
- 23:52Speaker 2: I've got an 8.30.
- 23:53Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 23:54Speaker 2: It's your hard out there, right?
- 23:55Speaker 1: I'm not sure many people are doing this. We're all
- 23:57Speaker 1: just rushing to get to work. But maybe, you know,
- 23:59Speaker 1: people that don't work or something could do it.
- 24:01Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 24:01Speaker 1: Even a weekend. I wouldn't want to do a breakfast
- 24:04Speaker 1: first date.
- 24:04Speaker 7: No.
- 24:05Speaker 1: But I see your hard out. I came up with
- 24:08Speaker 1: an out.
- 24:08Speaker 2: Oh, you have a hard out.
- 24:10Speaker 9: On dates.
- 24:10Speaker 1: Yeah, on dates I did. Because I kept on going
- 24:12Speaker 1: on dates. And you'd like arrange a Friday or a
- 24:15Speaker 1: Saturday night. And you'd get there and you'd just be like, oh, this.
- 24:18Speaker 2: Yeah, like this is not going well.
- 24:20Speaker 1: But you're stuck, right?
- 24:21Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 24:22Speaker 1: So what I used to do, and apologies to any
- 24:26Speaker 1: people that dated me.
- 24:26Speaker 2: That are listening. Previous girlfriends of yours.
- 24:29Speaker 1: So I'd line up a date. Let's say, okay, I'll
- 24:31Speaker 1: meet you Saturday 5 p.m. We'll have a couple of drinks.
- 24:35Speaker 1: But I've got a work thing on after. And, you know,
- 24:39Speaker 1: they think in media, I mean, you are invited to events.
- 24:42Speaker 1: I just don't go. But they constantly think you're doing things.
- 24:45Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 24:46Speaker 1: So, I'd be like, I've got a work event on after.
- 24:48Speaker 5: Yes.
- 24:48Speaker 1: So, I'll have to go to that. So, just a
- 24:50Speaker 1: few drinks, right? Now, if the date is going well …
- 24:54Speaker 1: I'd blow off the work drinks.
- 24:55Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 24:56Speaker 1: Oh, it's just, well, it doesn't matter. It's another party.
- 24:58Speaker 2: Oh, and that'd probably win you some brownie points too.
- 25:00Speaker 9: Right?
- 25:00Speaker 1: If it's not going well and she's just awful, well,
- 25:03Speaker 1: I've got to go to my work thing. Meanwhile, I
- 25:04Speaker 1: was just getting a kebab and going home and watching
- 25:06Speaker 1: the footy.
- 25:07Speaker 6: I did one breakfast date.
- 25:09Speaker 1: Oh, did you?
- 25:09Speaker 10: Yeah, and it was on a Saturday morning and I
- 25:12Speaker 10: was so hungover.
- 25:14Speaker 6: Not just like a little bit hungover. Like green.
- 25:17Speaker 10: The worst hangover of all time and I met someone for.
- 25:20Speaker 4: The first time.
- 25:21Speaker 1: Sean, you would have stunk.
- 25:22Speaker 2: Like, you know when you're that hungover, all the alcohol
- 25:24Speaker 2: just seeps out of your pores?
- 25:25Speaker 10: And I had no chat, just sitting there across from
- 25:29Speaker 10: this girl.
- 25:29Speaker 6: Like, I couldn't speak.
- 25:33Speaker 3: There is nothing worse than having a backup after, like,
- 25:36Speaker 3: a big night. I can't function at all, let alone
- 25:39Speaker 3: on a date when you're meant to be, like, leading
- 25:41Speaker 3: with your best foot.
- 25:43Speaker 1: You didn't care about that girl because you wouldn't have
- 25:45Speaker 1: gone out and rode yourself off the night before.
- 25:47Speaker 6: That's true.
- 25:48Speaker 1: You know what I mean? If you're excited about it.
- 25:50Speaker 6: That was no second. She didn't ask for one either.
- 25:53Speaker 2: Funny that.
- 25:54Speaker 1: All right, first calls coming up. You might want to
- 25:56Speaker 1: chat about that or anything. 131065. 131065 for our first calls.
- 26:05Speaker 1: Dial in right now. You're on KISS. Mikey, Amy Gerard,
- 26:10Speaker 1: good morning. Yeah, first calls with Annette who's called in. Hello, Annette.
- 26:14Speaker 2: Hi, Annette.
- 26:14Speaker 5: Hi.
- 26:16Speaker 13: Hi, Mikey.
- 26:17Speaker 16: Hello.
- 26:17Speaker 12: Mikey, you're right.
- 26:19Speaker 4: It was on Facebook yesterday that Kylie Minogue was going
- 26:22Speaker 4: to be with Robbie Williams.
- 26:23Speaker 1: Thank you. I've been saying all morning I heard this rumour.
- 26:26Speaker 1: Kylie's performing at the AFL Grand Final on Saturday.
- 26:30Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 26:30Speaker 1: And I heard a rumour Robbie was going to be
- 26:32Speaker 1: joining her. And everyone here has been, like, giving me shit.
- 26:35Speaker 1: You've been looking it up.
- 26:35Speaker 2: Sorry, we weren't giving you shit.
- 26:37Speaker 3: We all fact-checked it, and it wasn't anywhere to be
- 26:39Speaker 3: found in the news.
- 26:40Speaker 10: Couldn't find it on any official news cycles. Maybe Facebook
- 26:44Speaker 10: is AI.
- 26:45Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 26:46Speaker 1: Annette, what did you read?
- 26:49Speaker 5: Something, the same thing that you said. And then I
- 26:51Speaker 5: went home and told my husband.
- 26:53Speaker 4: So you're not lying.
- 26:54Speaker 2: Also, scungies wear undies when we were at school. Scungies.
- 27:01Speaker 1: Yes.
- 27:01Speaker 2: We were talking about scrunchies.
- 27:03Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 27:04Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 27:05Speaker 2: I remember scungies as well.
- 27:06Speaker 1: Were they like undies that you'd use to run in
- 27:09Speaker 1: or something?
- 27:09Speaker 2: No, they were undies that you would wear over your
- 27:12Speaker 2: actual underwear.
- 27:13Speaker 5: Right.
- 27:13Speaker 1: Yeah. And girls would wear them.
- 27:14Speaker 2: Modesty kind of things, right?
- 27:16Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay, cool. Well, I got that half right. What
- 27:21Speaker 1: do you reckon? Robbie and Kylie. It could be a thing.
- 27:25Speaker 14: It could be a thing.
- 27:25Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 27:26Speaker 2: It would probably be a really good thing if it
- 27:28Speaker 2: was true.
- 27:29Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, it was on Facebook.
- 27:31Speaker 2: Oh, it must be true then.
- 27:32Speaker 1: There have never been any lies on there. Lara's on. Hi.
- 27:35Speaker 9: Good morning.
- 27:37Speaker 12: How are you?
- 27:38Speaker 2: Hey, Lara.
- 27:39Speaker 1: What do you want to chat about?
- 27:42Speaker 8: Talking about first dates, at what time of the day?
- 27:46Speaker 8: I went on a first date at breakfast the other morning.
- 27:49Speaker 1: Well, Amy was talking about that. Apparently, there's a rise
- 27:51Speaker 1: in people.
- 27:52Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 27:53Speaker 2: Apparently, they're doing some research.
- 27:55Speaker 3: Kellogg's are doing some research into the fact that more
- 27:59Speaker 3: Aussies are going on breakfast dates before work.
- 28:02Speaker 2: Have you done one?
- 28:03Speaker 8: Yeah, I have, and I love it.
- 28:06Speaker 2: Oh, you loved it.
- 28:07Speaker 1: What's so good about first thing in the morning?
- 28:10Speaker 8: I think, one, you've got the rest of your day afterwards.
- 28:15Speaker 1: Yeah, this is true.
- 28:18Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it's a good vibe and I think
- 28:20Speaker 8: there's just not as much pressure.
- 28:22Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 28:23Speaker 2: Yeah, this is true.
- 28:24Speaker 3: And you've got the excuse of leaving to go to
- 28:26Speaker 3: work if you need to.
- 28:27Speaker 2: Exactly. And if things are going well, you can catch
- 28:30Speaker 2: up for after work drinks.
- 28:32Speaker 4: Exactly, yeah.
- 28:33Speaker 1: All right, there we go. Breakfast dates. You were saying
- 28:37Speaker 1: you need to have a drink to go on a date.
- 28:41Speaker 3: I don't need to, but I would prefer it. Especially
- 28:44Speaker 3: if I've never met them. Like if we've been just
- 28:46Speaker 3: chatting online and I'd never met said person, I'd probably
- 28:50Speaker 3: want like, I'd have like a pre or something before
- 28:52Speaker 3: I got there.
- 28:53Speaker 1: I used to arrange to meet them at a bar,
- 28:55Speaker 1: but I'd go to the pub near the bar before
- 28:57Speaker 1: it and have at least two schooners before you'd go in.
- 29:00Speaker 2: But hey, you can have a breakfast champagne.
- 29:02Speaker 1: Yeah, or a Bloody Mary.
- 29:03Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go.
- 29:06Speaker 1: Nicole, what do you want to chat about?
- 29:08Speaker 2: Hey, Nicole.
- 29:08Speaker 5: Hello, how are you?
- 29:10Speaker 12: Good. That's good.
- 29:12Speaker 5: Coffee dates.
- 29:13Speaker 13: I like this idea of the breakfast dates, but I
- 29:15Speaker 13: like a good coffee date.
- 29:16Speaker 9: Yes.
- 29:17Speaker 1: Right, instance, so no liquor.
- 29:20Speaker 9: No, no, no, because you.
- 29:21Speaker 13: Can get in too much trouble doing that.
- 29:23Speaker 2: Yeah, this is true.
- 29:24Speaker 13: And you don't know.
- 29:25Speaker 5: You're still strangers with these people.
- 29:27Speaker 13: So I like to meet in a public place. It's
- 29:29Speaker 13: all about safety now. And a coffee date, and this
- 29:32Speaker 13: way you've got a really good out because it can
- 29:34Speaker 13: be very short, and um especially if they're a bit
- 29:37Speaker 13: of a you know we can't say those words on
- 29:39Speaker 13: there a bit of a donkey that's a different.
- 29:41Speaker 5: Word for it so um yeah so um you.
- 29:44Speaker 13: Can just escape like i went into one one time.
- 29:48Speaker 5: He was so much older than his picture. I'm not
- 29:50Speaker 5: going to.
- 29:51Speaker 13: Comment on anything else like his body or anything because
- 29:53Speaker 13: dad bods rock.
- 29:54Speaker 9: We all know that.
- 29:55Speaker 5: So that's okay. So I wasn't going to do that.
- 29:58Speaker 13: But I could have got past that, I think, if
- 30:01Speaker 13: he hadn't have just started to try and tell me
- 30:03Speaker 13: how I should run my life. And I don't think
- 30:05Speaker 13: he liked my choice of coffee or anything. He's like,
- 30:07Speaker 13: and what would you like with it?
- 30:08Speaker 5: And I was like, you know what? I think I'd
- 30:10Speaker 5: just like to go.
- 30:11Speaker 13: Thanks.
- 30:11Speaker 5: It was really nice to meet you and turn around.
- 30:14Speaker 5: I'm too old for this kind of thing. I don't
- 30:16Speaker 5: want to do that.
- 30:18Speaker 3: So you got catfished and then you're getting lectured.
- 30:22Speaker 5: Yes, because everyone loves that in the middle of the day.
- 30:25Speaker 5: This is my coffee day.
- 30:27Speaker 4: It's so good.
- 30:27Speaker 5: You can just leave.
- 30:29Speaker 1: Yeah, but is there a hard out at a cafe?
- 30:31Speaker 1: You can't just sit there the whole time, can you?
- 30:33Speaker 1: You think about it.
- 30:34Speaker 3: If you're having a coffee day, you can slurp your
- 30:37Speaker 3: coffee down and bounce.
- 30:39Speaker 2: Whereas if you.
- 30:39Speaker 1: Do drinks, you can still just do one drink.
- 30:43Speaker 2: No, drinks is a little harder.
- 30:44Speaker 3: I actually think that Annette's onto something or Nicole's onto something.
- 30:48Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. I remember one girl came in and I
- 30:50Speaker 1: was like, oh. Let's just get drunk. So I just
- 30:54Speaker 1: ordered a bottle of wine. I mean, it was like
- 30:57Speaker 1: a Saturday night.
- 30:58Speaker 7: Why?
- 30:58Speaker 2: Because you weren't into her?
- 31:00Speaker 1: Not at all.
- 31:00Speaker 2: Oh, so you're like, maybe I'll like her more after
- 31:03Speaker 2: a few wines?
- 31:04Speaker 1: I don't even think it was that. It was like,
- 31:06Speaker 1: I'm here now. I might as well just get... Sourced.
- 31:10Speaker 7: Wow.
- 31:11Speaker 1: Is that bad? It was, yeah. Don't miss that.
- 31:14Speaker 2: Let's hope she's not listening.
- 31:15Speaker 1: Who cares? 10 to 7. Brooke Shields is joining us
- 31:19Speaker 1: live on air. Hello.
- 31:20Speaker 2: Hello.
- 31:21Speaker 5: Hello.
- 31:22Speaker 12: Hi.
- 31:23Speaker 1: Thank you for coming on. You got a brand new
- 31:25Speaker 1: crime drama, You're Killing Me. It's out on Stan. True
- 31:29Speaker 1: crime is just huge. Like women in particular are obsessed. Brooke,
- 31:34Speaker 1: do you feel?
- 31:35Speaker 14: I think it's a genre that people have loved from Murder,
- 31:40Speaker 14: She Wrote and Only Murders in the Building. You know,
- 31:43Speaker 14: that sort of that genre where it's it's easy to watch.
- 31:47Speaker 9: It's not too gory.
- 31:48Speaker 14: There's a you know, maybe a guy falls out of
- 31:50Speaker 14: a closet with a knife in his back, but there's
- 31:52Speaker 14: no blood.
- 31:52Speaker 9: Like that old school genre. Almost Agatha Christie.
- 31:57Speaker 14: But to have two females at the helm, two different generations,
- 32:01Speaker 14: I think women are responding to that because it's, you know,
- 32:05Speaker 14: my characters made fun of a lot like my daughters
- 32:07Speaker 14: do every day.
- 32:10Speaker 9: So I think it's just I think it's appealing. It's entertainment.
- 32:14Speaker 9: It's a bit of escapism.
- 32:16Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 32:17Speaker 1: Do you love investigations in your own life, like trying
- 32:20Speaker 1: to figure things out?
- 32:22Speaker 3: I feel like women are like inherently detectives undercover.
- 32:26Speaker 1: FBI.
- 32:27Speaker 9: Right?
- 32:27Speaker 2: We've all got it in us.
- 32:28Speaker 9: They kind of have to be.
- 32:29Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 32:30Speaker 9: They have to. Yes.
- 32:31Speaker 14: I think it has something to do with like if
- 32:33Speaker 14: you can bear children, you kind of also have to
- 32:36Speaker 14: be a detective.
- 32:38Speaker 4: Yes.
- 32:39Speaker 1: Yes.
- 32:40Speaker 9: And if you happen to be partnered, you have to
- 32:43Speaker 9: be a detective.
- 32:44Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 32:44Speaker 9: Got to read what they're saying because they don't often
- 32:47Speaker 9: say what they mean. So I think it is inherent.
- 32:50Speaker 14: I do think I'm my character, but also me as
- 32:54Speaker 14: a person, I'm better with motive and story and why
- 32:58Speaker 14: and what's happening in that person's life. Whereas Andy, my
- 33:01Speaker 14: partner and the younger generation is really good with forensics.
- 33:07Speaker 14: And I find like, I find that that that's what
- 33:10Speaker 14: I am in life too.
- 33:11Speaker 9: Like I'm, It's like, well, now why would she do that?
- 33:13Speaker 8: You know?
- 33:14Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 33:15Speaker 9: It's fun to play.
- 33:16Speaker 3: I have a girlfriend and I find this crazy, but
- 33:18Speaker 3: she listens to these horrific true crime podcasts to put.
- 33:24Speaker 2: Herself to sleep. Do you get into true crime? Like,
- 33:28Speaker 2: do you listen to podcasts and stuff like that?
- 33:29Speaker 9: Because they're all, no, I don't. Because they're all going
- 33:32Speaker 9: to be under my bed.
- 33:33Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly right. And they're going to grab.
- 33:35Speaker 9: Me by the ankles when I get in bed and
- 33:37Speaker 9: I set my alarm.
- 33:38Speaker 11: Yes.
- 33:38Speaker 9: They're going to grab me by the ankles. And that's
- 33:40Speaker 9: the end of me.
- 33:41Speaker 1: That's exactly right.
- 33:42Speaker 9: The minute I give my attention to it and give
- 33:44Speaker 9: it energy, it's going to find me.
- 33:47Speaker 1: Now, Brooke, you've been in the industry for 50 years now.
- 33:51Speaker 2: Wow.
- 33:52Speaker 1: 60.
- 33:52Speaker 15: Yeah.
- 33:53Speaker 1: Well, yeah.
- 33:55Speaker 9: 60. 60.
- 33:56Speaker 1: Hang on, you're 61. So when, what, were you doing
- 33:59Speaker 1: commercials and stuff as a baby?
- 34:01Speaker 9: I was the Ivory Soap baby when I was 11.
- 34:04Speaker 1: Oh, there we go.
- 34:06Speaker 9: I rocked a diaper I can't.
- 34:08Speaker 1: Have you on Brooke without admitting The Blue Lagoon when
- 34:12Speaker 1: I was a teenager was a good movie for me
- 34:16Speaker 1: you know what.
- 34:17Speaker 14: I mean it depends like some people say it was
- 34:21Speaker 14: for me some people say It was for the boy.
- 34:22Speaker 2: Well, it was for you.
- 34:24Speaker 9: It was a revelation to people.
- 34:26Speaker 2: You had a poster of Rook on your bedroom wall,
- 34:28Speaker 2: didn't you?
- 34:29Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, and I watched The Blue Lagoon over and
- 34:31Speaker 1: over and over. It was all.
- 34:33Speaker 9: An Australian crew. We shot in Fiji, all Aussies.
- 34:37Speaker 1: It's actually, apart from me being a teenager, it's a
- 34:40Speaker 1: very good movie. Do you go back and watch some
- 34:42Speaker 1: of the stuff that you've done? Do your kids watch
- 34:45Speaker 1: your work or do you just go, no, never watching again?
- 34:48Speaker 9: Nope, nope, nope, nope, nothing.
- 34:51Speaker 14: The only thing I sort of make my kids watch
- 34:54Speaker 14: is like Suddenly Susan. I don't have it on a
- 34:57Speaker 14: loop in my house, but I've been like, you're going
- 35:00Speaker 14: to sit down, you're.
- 35:01Speaker 9: Going to watch this. Mom was funny. So they appreciate now.
- 35:05Speaker 14: But what's interesting is without my asking, they both watched
- 35:10Speaker 14: You're Killing Me. Like they both watched it without me
- 35:13Speaker 14: saying you have to watch your mother.
- 35:16Speaker 9: So that was... And they were like, mom, you're funny.
- 35:18Speaker 9: It's good.
- 35:18Speaker 1: Why don't you watch your old stuff?
- 35:20Speaker 2: Nobody wants to watch their old stuff back.
- 35:22Speaker 1: Really?
- 35:23Speaker 9: When I do something, it's done. Like I move past it.
- 35:27Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 35:28Speaker 14: I think, I mean, when I have been on Broadway,
- 35:32Speaker 14: which I have been multiple times, the clips from those shows,
- 35:41Speaker 14: I will say I will go back and watch.
- 35:43Speaker 9: Because they're such a triumph for me. because it was
- 35:47Speaker 9: so physically.
- 35:49Speaker 14: Life-altering and difficult to be on Broadway or be in
- 35:52Speaker 14: the play The West End. And when you go through
- 35:55Speaker 14: something like that and you survive it, to me, that
- 36:00Speaker 14: I'll watch.
- 36:00Speaker 9: But the rest of the stuff, yeah.
- 36:02Speaker 1: Well, I'll watch it for you then.
- 36:03Speaker 9: I'm not going to judge myself anyway, so.
- 36:05Speaker 1: Yeah, fair enough. Brooke Shields, thank you for coming on.
- 36:08Speaker 2: Thank you so much.
- 36:09Speaker 9: Thank you, thank you, thank you. I appreciate it.
- 36:12Speaker 1: All right, you're married, aren't you, Amy?
- 36:17Speaker 2: Last time I checked, yeah.
- 36:18Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 36:19Speaker 1: One decision you make when you get married makes you 50%
- 36:22Speaker 1: more likely to get divorced.
- 36:24Speaker 2: Oh, what is it?
- 36:25Speaker 1: Okay. Well, it's not taken their surname. And it's still typically,
- 36:32Speaker 1: unless I'm wrong, the woman taken on the man's surname.
- 36:35Speaker 5: Okay.
- 36:35Speaker 6: And what?
- 36:36Speaker 2: That makes you 50% more likely to get divorced.
- 36:39Speaker 3: Yep.
- 36:39Speaker 1: According to this research, Institute for Family Studies, divorce rates
- 36:43Speaker 1: are 50% higher in couples who don't share a surname.
- 36:48Speaker 1: You're also more likely to get divorced quicker.
- 36:52Speaker 12: Oh.
- 36:52Speaker 1: After eight to 10 years for couples that don't take
- 36:55Speaker 1: on the surname Amy Gerard, whose real name I remember
- 36:59Speaker 1: from high school.
- 37:00Speaker 2: You can say it.
- 37:01Speaker 1: Amy Copp.
- 37:02Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 37:02Speaker 1: C-O-double-P?
- 37:03Speaker 2: C-O-double-P.
- 37:04Speaker 1: Yeah, so you took on Ryan's name.
- 37:05Speaker 2: I took on Ryan's last name, yeah.
- 37:07Speaker 1: Yeah, you did the right thing.
- 37:08Speaker 2: I did the right thing.
- 37:09Speaker 1: According to the research.
- 37:11Speaker 3: Listen, is that just because if they do split, it's easier?
- 37:15Speaker 2: It's a bit more quicker? I don't know.
- 37:17Speaker 1: Maybe there's like a commitment there or something. I don't know.
- 37:20Speaker 1: I don't know the reason.
- 37:22Speaker 3: I've got girlfriends– I've actually got quite a few girlfriends
- 37:25Speaker 3: who haven't taken on their partner's last names, one of
- 37:28Speaker 3: which she's a partner at a law firm. Like her
- 37:30Speaker 3: entire career and her identity is linked to her last name.
- 37:35Speaker 3: So in that respect, I completely and utterly understand it.
- 37:41Speaker 3: I took on Ryan's last name. I'm a bit traditional
- 37:45Speaker 3: in that sense. Plus I just really liked his last name.
- 37:48Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it'd make a difference. Like if his last
- 37:50Speaker 1: name was Longbottom– I probably.
- 37:53Speaker 2: Wouldn't have taken it on.
- 37:54Speaker 1: Amy Longbottom. Amy Longbottom.
- 37:57Speaker 2: She's not getting a job in radio.
- 37:58Speaker 1: No, there used to be a news reporter with the
- 38:01Speaker 1: last name Longbottom or something like that, and every time
- 38:03Speaker 1: it was on, I'd chuckle.
- 38:04Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 38:05Speaker 1: Would you just change it to just Long or even Bottoms?
- 38:09Speaker 2: Long bottom, yeah.
- 38:11Speaker 1: Long, flat bottom.
- 38:12Speaker 10: You know what I've found in media is a lot
- 38:15Speaker 10: of the women that I've worked with, newsreaders in particular,
- 38:19Speaker 10: they use their maiden name on air.
- 38:21Speaker 1: On air, yeah.
- 38:23Speaker 6: But they have changed their last name. They don't use
- 38:25Speaker 6: that name.
- 38:25Speaker 1: Well, that's the whole thing, right? You could just legally
- 38:28Speaker 1: change it, but you can be whatever you want on
- 38:30Speaker 1: socials or radio.
- 38:33Speaker 2: Yeah, this is true.
- 38:33Speaker 1: And doesn't it get hard as well? I've heard some
- 38:36Speaker 1: women say, when you have kids.
- 38:38Speaker 2: Like who the hell– different last names.
- 38:41Speaker 1: So could you keep your last name and give that
- 38:44Speaker 1: to your kids?
- 38:46Speaker 2: So let's say I had children and– Well, you do. Yeah, sorry, sorry.
- 38:51Speaker 3: So you're saying could I have given my children my
- 38:55Speaker 3: last name?
- 38:56Speaker 2: Of course I could have.
- 38:56Speaker 1: I could have copped that. But then would that be
- 38:58Speaker 1: confusing for Ryan taking them to the doctor or something?
- 39:01Speaker 3: Oh, and it would be pretty like you're quite noncommittal.
- 39:06Speaker 4: Right?
- 39:06Speaker 3: Like having children and then going, all our kids are
- 39:08Speaker 3: having my last name too.
- 39:10Speaker 2: And I'm also not taking your last name.
- 39:12Speaker 1: What about the other one? Very, very rare. But Colin,
- 39:15Speaker 1: if it's happened to you, 131065, the man taking the
- 39:19Speaker 1: woman's last name.
- 39:20Speaker 2: Oh.
- 39:21Speaker 1: Doesn't really happen, does it?
- 39:22Speaker 2: I've never heard of that.
- 39:23Speaker 1: What happens?
- 39:26Speaker 2: It says here that that Brooklyn guy, Brooklyn.
- 39:28Speaker 1: Ross? No.
- 39:29Speaker 5: No.
- 39:30Speaker 3: Brooklyn, Victoria and David Beckham's kid, he has hyphenated his
- 39:36Speaker 3: wife and his, her, wait, his last name and her
- 39:39Speaker 3: last name.
- 39:40Speaker 2: So it's Brooklyn Peltz, which is her last name, Beckham.
- 39:43Speaker 1: Shouldn't Beckham go first? Why?
- 39:46Speaker 2: Why should Beckham go first?
- 39:48Speaker 1: Just tradition?
- 39:49Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 39:50Speaker 2: Listen, I mean, that's unusual. I haven't seen that.
- 39:54Speaker 1: The hyphenated thing.
- 39:56Speaker 2: Well, I haven't seen the hyphenated.
- 39:57Speaker 1: Yeah, him taking, so he's taken her name and kept his.
- 40:01Speaker 3: Yeah, sometimes you see the woman keep her last name
- 40:04Speaker 3: and hyphen the husband's last name.
- 40:07Speaker 1: Isn't that just confusing?
- 40:09Speaker 2: But, I mean, who cares what other people do with
- 40:12Speaker 2: their last names, right?
- 40:15Speaker 1: That's fair. You can do whatever you want. But according
- 40:17Speaker 1: to this research, 50% chance you're going to get divorced
- 40:21Speaker 1: if you don't take on their name.
- 40:22Speaker 2: But it's 50% chance that you'll still stay together too.
- 40:24Speaker 2: Look at it.
- 40:25Speaker 1: That's awful. That's awful, guys. You're such a positive girl.
- 40:28Speaker 1: Are you okay, Amy?
- 40:28Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
- 40:29Speaker 6: God.
- 40:30Speaker 1: Are these hours we're asking you to do here on KISS,
- 40:34Speaker 1: are they like causing trouble and making life hard at
- 40:36Speaker 1: home for you? They are, right? Yeah. So a bit
- 40:39Speaker 1: of a welfare check to make sure you're okay.
- 40:41Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 40:42Speaker 1: What's your Instagram called, by the way?
- 40:44Speaker 2: It's amy.gerard.
- 40:47Speaker 1: Plug.
- 40:47Speaker 4: Right.
- 40:48Speaker 1: Have a listen.
- 40:48Speaker 2: I'm not selling anything.
- 40:50Speaker 1: You're selling your Instagram. Have a listen to what she posted.
- 40:52Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
- 40:53Speaker 1: No, we need to know everything's all right.
- 40:55Speaker 2: Everything's fine. I was just having a rant. You clearly
- 40:59Speaker 2: don't have children.
- 41:00Speaker 1: Not yet. Have a listen.
- 41:01Speaker 16: Because I feel guilty about not being. here in the
- 41:06Speaker 16: morning for my kids. I try to really overcompensate in
- 41:10Speaker 16: the afternoon. Like on the way home today, I stopped,
- 41:12Speaker 16: I got them sushi, got some things from Baker's Delight,
- 41:16Speaker 16: like their favorite coconut water. And I always try to
- 41:21Speaker 16: make our afternoons special. When I tell you our afternoons.
- 41:27Speaker 2: Are f * * * ed, they are not special.
- 41:29Speaker 9: No one cares.
- 41:30Speaker 16: I walk up to get them from school.
- 41:32Speaker 9: They don't even want to walk with me.
- 41:34Speaker 2: Um, They don't want to hold my hand.
- 41:36Speaker 9: They don't want a bar of me.
- 41:38Speaker 16: I pull out their beautiful sushi, put it all on
- 41:40Speaker 16: their little snack plates because.
- 41:42Speaker 2: They love them.
- 41:42Speaker 16: I don't like that sushi now. Even though they've been
- 41:45Speaker 16: eating it for the last five years, they don't like
- 41:47Speaker 16: that sushi now. They don't like that popcorn and they
- 41:50Speaker 16: don't like that coconut water. And the more I try
- 41:54Speaker 16: to make the afternoon special, the more they're not.
- 41:59Speaker 2: And it's giving ungrateful and.
- 42:04Speaker 9: Giving... I won't be putting in any more effort.
- 42:08Speaker 16: You can come home and you can eat guitars from
- 42:11Speaker 16: the packet and I'll be up.
- 42:13Speaker 12: In my room.
- 42:14Speaker 1: You alright? Wow, it's given ungrateful.
- 42:19Speaker 3: Listen, they were particularly bad yesterday because I'm not there
- 42:22Speaker 3: in the morning. You've got to remember, for 10 years,
- 42:24Speaker 3: I was the primary caregiver, right? So I was always there.
- 42:28Speaker 3: Now they don't get me and they get grumpy dad
- 42:30Speaker 3: in the morning who kind of sets the tone for
- 42:32Speaker 3: the day and sometimes can push them off on the
- 42:34Speaker 3: wrong foot.
- 42:35Speaker 1: But what are they doing in the Arvo? They don't
- 42:37Speaker 1: want to borrow from you?
- 42:37Speaker 2: It's probably a.
- 42:38Speaker 3: Me thing because I feel guilty, which is just... something
- 42:43Speaker 3: that all mums feel. I know I'm not alone when
- 42:45Speaker 3: I say this. So I have mum guilt for not
- 42:48Speaker 3: being there in the morning. So I try to make
- 42:50Speaker 3: the afternoon special. And every mum also knows that the
- 42:53Speaker 3: more effort you put in, the less it's appreciated.
- 42:58Speaker 2: It's like Christmas Day. Before I had kids, I was like,
- 43:00Speaker 2: oh my God, Christmas Day is going to be so magical.
- 43:03Speaker 3: And my kids are all going to sit around and
- 43:05Speaker 3: open their presents calmly and nicely and be grateful for
- 43:08Speaker 3: what they've got and it's an anything but like they're
- 43:10Speaker 3: all animals and everyone's crying and no one's got the
- 43:13Speaker 3: present that they want and they're all assholes so um.
- 43:16Speaker 1: So they're just not like do you think they care
- 43:18Speaker 1: whether you're there or not in the other well they.
- 43:20Speaker 3: Do you saw i just had to take a facetime
- 43:22Speaker 3: from my daughter yeah i think my daughter cares a
- 43:24Speaker 3: little bit more um but i try to make i
- 43:28Speaker 3: try to be like really attentive in the afternoon like Guys,
- 43:31Speaker 3: tell me what happened at school.
- 43:32Speaker 2: And they're like, go away, mum.
- 43:33Speaker 1: Right.
- 43:35Speaker 2: They couldn't get less.
- 43:36Speaker 1: We appreciate you coming in, Amy.
- 43:37Speaker 2: Thank you. Okay.
- 43:39Speaker 1: Up next, a hit of celeb news with Amy. And
- 43:42Speaker 1: right now, Cat's Eye Animal playing for you here on Kiss,
- 43:45Speaker 1: hanging out with Mikey, Amy Gerard, 21 past eight. Well,
- 43:48Speaker 1: this is really sad, Amy. Get the violins out.
- 43:51Speaker 6: All right.
- 43:51Speaker 2: I found a tiny little one.
- 43:52Speaker 1: 40% of us feel lonely at work. According to new
- 44:01Speaker 1: research by Kahoot, a third feel lonelier at the office
- 44:06Speaker 1: than when they're working at home. 17% can go through
- 44:12Speaker 1: a whole workday without speaking to anyone face to face.
- 44:16Speaker 1: So we're feeling really lonely at work. I know it's
- 44:19Speaker 1: very sad. I'm going to kill that music.
- 44:21Speaker 2: That music is really sad and emotive.
- 44:23Speaker 1: Open, well, you know what they're blaming, which didn't make
- 44:26Speaker 1: sense to me, but now I've read it, it does.
- 44:28Speaker 1: Open plan offices.
- 44:29Speaker 2: Well, here's my take on that. If you're working from home,
- 44:32Speaker 2: you know there's no one around.
- 44:33Speaker 1: So you just- You're not going to feel lonely. You're
- 44:34Speaker 1: getting there.
- 44:35Speaker 3: You're doing your work, maybe putting on a load of washing.
- 44:37Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 44:37Speaker 3: Getting some household things, but you're not expecting to converse
- 44:40Speaker 3: with anyone.
- 44:41Speaker 2: Whereas- I think when people go into.
- 44:43Speaker 3: An office, they assume that people are, you know, chatting,
- 44:48Speaker 3: going out for coffees and grabbing lunch together or like
- 44:51Speaker 3: sitting next to one another talking.
- 44:53Speaker 2: But even working in here, I noticed that like, I mean...
- 44:57Speaker 2: This team and.
- 44:58Speaker 3: The producers here, obviously it's a really fun vibe because
- 45:01Speaker 3: we're all talking to each other. But down the other
- 45:03Speaker 3: end of the building, everyone's kind of just there doing
- 45:05Speaker 3: their job.
- 45:06Speaker 1: Boring, eh? Yeah. Well, I would have thought open plan
- 45:09Speaker 1: offices made everyone talk. But according to the research, even
- 45:12Speaker 1: though it puts everyone together, it has the opposite effect
- 45:15Speaker 1: because everyone's scared to make noise and be disruptive.
- 45:18Speaker 2: Well, yeah, because there's a lot of shushes.
- 45:20Speaker 5: Is there?
- 45:20Speaker 2: A lot of people are like, shh.
- 45:22Speaker 3: I remember I worked, I had a very brief stint
- 45:24Speaker 3: as a paralegal once and it was like corporate office space,
- 45:27Speaker 3: but open plan. You could hear a pin drop. Like
- 45:31Speaker 3: you were just not allowed to make noise.
- 45:33Speaker 2: It was a horrendous- That's depressing.
- 45:36Speaker 3: It was just a really boring environment.
- 45:38Speaker 1: Yeah, surely it depends on the job. I mean, I've
- 45:40Speaker 1: just done bloody radio so long that I just feel
- 45:42Speaker 1: like this is normal to have people talking and crapping
- 45:45Speaker 1: on and music's playing and all of that. But so
- 45:48Speaker 1: you'd go into that office- Would you say hi as
- 45:51Speaker 1: you walk in?
- 45:51Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd say.
- 45:52Speaker 1: You go morning.
- 45:52Speaker 2: Remember, I got this job. This is the one that
- 45:54Speaker 2: I was just doing a maternity cover.
- 45:56Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 45:56Speaker 2: And I came in and I was like a ball
- 45:58Speaker 2: of energy and happy.
- 46:00Speaker 1: Personality hire.
- 46:01Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 46:01Speaker 3: And he was like, yeah, hey, listen, you're not amazing
- 46:03Speaker 3: at your job, but like we love the energy you
- 46:05Speaker 3: bring to the office.
- 46:06Speaker 2: So you've got the role full time.
- 46:08Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 46:08Speaker 2: So it was like a bit of a backhanded compliment.
- 46:11Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 46:11Speaker 2: But because I was like the only person in there
- 46:13Speaker 2: that had a personality.
- 46:15Speaker 7: Right.
- 46:15Speaker 1: So you'd go in.
- 46:16Speaker 2: It was so stale.
- 46:17Speaker 1: But were you annoying people then?
- 46:18Speaker 3: Well, obviously not if I got hired. But I had
- 46:21Speaker 3: come from advertising. Advertising used to work in a love sack.
- 46:25Speaker 3: There was always music playing. It was how I envisioned
- 46:29Speaker 3: working in an office would be. Really loud environment, fun, creative.
- 46:33Speaker 1: You know, it shocks a lot of people that have
- 46:34Speaker 1: never worked in radio. We have the radio playing. all
- 46:38Speaker 1: throughout the office here, right?
- 46:40Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 46:40Speaker 1: And most workplaces do not. But you bring someone in here.
- 46:45Speaker 1: I've brought people in to tour a radio station before
- 46:48Speaker 1: and it's just like the music is cranking.
- 46:50Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 46:50Speaker 1: Because we want to– well, there's a number of reasons, right?
- 46:52Speaker 1: We want to hear the shows on air but also
- 46:53Speaker 1: like if the station goes off air or something.
- 46:56Speaker 2: We need everyone to know about it and panic.
- 46:57Speaker 1: But you'd go into normal working environments and what you're
- 47:01Speaker 1: just hearing– Yeah. The violins.
- 47:04Speaker 2: The violins are still playing.
- 47:06Speaker 6: But basically, yeah.
- 47:06Speaker 3: But you just hear– Yeah, a bit stale.
- 47:11Speaker 1: What's it like downstairs, Sean? I've never been down there.
- 47:13Speaker 6: It's pretty good. I mean, the vibes are good in radio.
- 47:16Speaker 10: I mean, I think it's funny that we work in
- 47:18Speaker 10: this place where, like, pranks are okay. Sometimes you're just, like,
- 47:23Speaker 10: walking and someone will just prank you and that's just normal.
- 47:25Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're on film.
- 47:28Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 47:29Speaker 1: If you're lonely at work, call us, 131065, you poor thing.
- 47:33Speaker 2: What are we going to do about it?
- 47:33Speaker 1: We're going to make you feel less lonely by having
- 47:35Speaker 1: a chat to Amy.
- 47:37Speaker 12: Sure.
- 47:38Speaker 3: I'll try and find the positive in it.
- 47:39Speaker 1: And Catherine has called in. Hey, Catherine.
- 47:42Speaker 9: Hey, how are you?
- 47:43Speaker 2: Hey, Catherine.
- 47:44Speaker 15: Good morning.
- 47:45Speaker 1: What's going on there? I can hear children.
- 47:47Speaker 6: Children.
- 47:47Speaker 15: You can hear.
- 47:49Speaker 4: Yes.
- 47:49Speaker 15: I'm laughing because I'm like saying that– Sounds like my
- 47:54Speaker 15: house one in the morning. Amy, I just wanted to–
- 47:55Speaker 15: I know. That's why I was like– I just thought
- 47:57Speaker 15: when I heard you before saying about your ungrateful children
- 48:00Speaker 15: and the sushi and that, I feel like that was me.
- 48:02Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 48:03Speaker 15: And you try and do so much. And I said
- 48:04Speaker 15: I feel like the kids that are the most loved
- 48:06Speaker 15: are the most ungrateful.
- 48:07Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 48:08Speaker 2: I did actually read something.
- 48:11Speaker 3: Somebody sent me– It was just an Instagram meme, but
- 48:15Speaker 3: it said, kids aren't actually ungrateful. It's because you have
- 48:18Speaker 3: constantly been showing up for them and doing so much
- 48:21Speaker 3: for them that they actually don't know any different.
- 48:24Speaker 15: I read a quote about that yesterday, and it's like
- 48:26Speaker 15: if you're always there, they don't know what it's like
- 48:28Speaker 15: for you not to be there.
- 48:29Speaker 1: Maybe you should just leave them for a bit.
- 48:32Speaker 2: I know.
- 48:32Speaker 15: Well, that's what I thought. I said, I'm going to
- 48:33Speaker 15: send you off for a week and go away.
- 48:35Speaker 3: Well, I can tell you when I went to Italy
- 48:38Speaker 3: and I came back, I came back to a barrage
- 48:42Speaker 3: of emotions.
- 48:44Speaker 15: Yeah. Because you weren't there to regulate them properly.
- 48:47Speaker 2: Correct.
- 48:48Speaker 15: I was just saying before, though, I said an example
- 48:52Speaker 15: of it is I was at the shops the other
- 48:53Speaker 15: day and because the Panthers grand finals coming up, I thought, oh.
- 48:56Speaker 1: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey, they are not in
- 48:59Speaker 1: the grand final yet. You're jumping to conclusions. No, sorry, sorry.
- 49:02Speaker 2: Leave her alone.
- 49:03Speaker 3: They will be, they will be.
- 49:05Speaker 15: I should say Panthers game, sorry.
- 49:07Speaker 1: Yeah, Panthers game.
- 49:08Speaker 15: And I was like, oh, I'll buy them a nice,
- 49:10Speaker 15: like there were shirts on there. And I thought, oh,
- 49:11Speaker 15: I'll buy them one, you know, a new one, whatever.
- 49:13Speaker 15: And then I got home and I was like, oh,
- 49:14Speaker 15: I've got a surprise for me after school. And they're like, oh,
- 49:16Speaker 15: what is it?
- 49:17Speaker 2: What is it?
- 49:18Speaker 15: And then I pulled out a shirt. I was like, look.
- 49:19Speaker 15: And they're like, oh, is that it? I was like, well,
- 49:23Speaker 15: I'll go take it back.
- 49:24Speaker 5: To the shops then.
- 49:25Speaker 15: And they're like, no, no, no, no, no.
- 49:26Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
- 49:27Speaker 3: They just, they've just got it too good.
- 49:30Speaker 2: That's what I say.
- 49:31Speaker 1: They have it too good. Leave them for a bit, Amy. Well,
- 49:33Speaker 1: you did. You went to Italy.
- 49:34Speaker 2: I did leave them for a bit. But yeah, I know.
- 49:37Speaker 2: I hear, Catherine. I just, I don't know how to.
- 49:40Speaker 2: Fix it or change it.
- 49:42Speaker 1: They'll grow to appreciate you when they're older.
- 49:44Speaker 8: Sure.
- 49:44Speaker 1: They've been kids, right?
- 49:45Speaker 2: Let's just run with that. Yeah.
- 49:48Speaker 1: Ali's on for last calls. Yeah, Ali.
- 49:50Speaker 2: Hey, Ali.
- 49:50Speaker 11: Hi, guys. Yeah, look, you know, women taking men's surnames
- 49:56Speaker 11: is so old school.
- 49:57Speaker 1: Well, we were talking about that. So 50% more chance
- 50:01Speaker 1: of getting divorced if you don't take.
- 50:04Speaker 2: The husband's last name.
- 50:06Speaker 1: Yeah, or just... Yeah, well, yes.
- 50:08Speaker 2: Do you disagree with this, Ali?
- 50:11Speaker 11: I disagree completely.
- 50:12Speaker 12: Like, come on.
- 50:14Speaker 5: You know, look, I haven't.
- 50:15Speaker 11: Changed my last... I've been married once and almost married
- 50:17Speaker 11: a second time, and I haven't changed my name either time.
- 50:20Speaker 11: My daughter has a different surname to me because I
- 50:22Speaker 11: gave her my ex's surname for some reason.
- 50:25Speaker 8: But you know what?
- 50:26Speaker 11: Why don't we make a compromise and do this? Everyone
- 50:31Speaker 11: just get a new surname.
- 50:32Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 50:33Speaker 11: You know, pick a name between the two of you
- 50:36Speaker 11: and make something new that lasts for your family.
- 50:38Speaker 3: Yeah, and it can be the new surname you pick together.
- 50:42Speaker 1: It's not actually that easy to change a name though,
- 50:45Speaker 1: is it?
- 50:45Speaker 2: Oh, it's an absolute punish.
- 50:46Speaker 6: What do you mean? I know a couple that did that.
- 50:48Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 50:48Speaker 2: You can pick a surname.
- 50:49Speaker 6: Yep, they created one and one that they liked and
- 50:52Speaker 6: decided to do that.
- 50:53Speaker 3: What?
- 50:54Speaker 1: I didn't know you could do that.
- 50:55Speaker 2: I didn't know you could do that.
- 50:56Speaker 3: Either yeah i suppose if you um you you came
- 51:00Speaker 3: you know you're a bit estranged from your parents and
- 51:03Speaker 3: you know vice versa.
- 51:04Speaker 6: Both you know both that's what it was in this case.
- 51:07Speaker 3: Yeah and so they've gone hey i don't want to
- 51:09Speaker 3: carry this family last name over and neither did she
- 51:12Speaker 3: and let's go and make out what name did they.
- 51:14Speaker 6: Pick sinclair oh that's quite nice.
- 51:17Speaker 1: Yeah i'd go like power or.
- 51:19Speaker 2: No, you would. You're a tosser.
- 51:22Speaker 1: Yeah. Mike Power.
- 51:24Speaker 6: Mike Power.
- 51:25Speaker 1: Max Power.
- 51:26Speaker 2: Oh, God.
- 51:27Speaker 1: Chrissy, hello.
- 51:29Speaker 2: Hey, Chrissy.
- 51:30Speaker 9: Hello.
- 51:30Speaker 5: How you doing, guys?
- 51:32Speaker 9: Good.
- 51:32Speaker 1: What do you want to chat about?
- 51:34Speaker 4: Oh, my office is so quiet. Oh, yeah. You're going
- 51:38Speaker 4: to hear a pin drop. And I heard you guys
- 51:40Speaker 4: talking about it the other day, and I was like,
- 51:42Speaker 4: that is me.
- 51:43Speaker 1: Yeah. We were just chatting about that. People are feeling lonely, apparently,
- 51:47Speaker 1: in the office because they're not talking as much as
- 51:50Speaker 1: they should be.
- 51:51Speaker 3: Well, and there's probably lots of humans around, but there's
- 51:54Speaker 3: actually no interaction being had.
- 51:57Speaker 4: I have more interaction with the office puppy.
- 52:00Speaker 1: Oh, you've got an office puppy?
- 52:02Speaker 2: Chrissy, is it because you're not allowed? Do people not
- 52:05Speaker 2: like people talking or why is it so quiet?
- 52:09Speaker 4: They get frustrated if there's music because they've got to concentrate.
- 52:12Speaker 11: So I just talk to myself all day.
- 52:14Speaker 4: They even got me a sign. If you see me
- 52:17Speaker 4: talking to myself, just move along. We're having a team meeting.
- 52:19Speaker 5: Shh.
- 52:20Speaker 15: You know what else has happened?
- 52:23Speaker 1: I've noticed a lot of people have headphones on and
- 52:26Speaker 1: I don't think it's just a radio thing. They're not
- 52:27Speaker 1: like listening to the radio. There's a lot of offices.
- 52:30Speaker 1: People go to work. They put on their headphones. They're
- 52:32Speaker 1: listening to.
- 52:33Speaker 2: Crime podcasts about how to murder somebody.
- 52:35Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 52:35Speaker 1: While they're working away and they're not talking. But sorry,
- 52:38Speaker 1: did you say you had an office puppy?
- 52:40Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 52:41Speaker 12: Yes, there's an office puppy. That's our therapy.
- 52:44Speaker 2: Oh, that would be amazing. I would just hang out
- 52:46Speaker 2: with the puppy all day too.
- 52:47Speaker 4: I do.
- 52:48Speaker 16: I do.
- 52:49Speaker 4: I take it for walks.
- 52:51Speaker 8: Let it go to the toilet.
- 52:52Speaker 3: Do you feel lonely in your office?
- 52:55Speaker 4: I always feel lonely, but I make noise. So I'm
- 52:59Speaker 4: the noise maker. I even do happy hour at 3
- 53:03Speaker 4: o'clock with lollies and chocolates to try and pop everyone up.
- 53:07Speaker 2: To try and bring some kind of energy and atmosphere
- 53:09Speaker 2: to the office. You sound like me in my old
- 53:11Speaker 2: paralegal role.
- 53:12Speaker 3: Like I basically got the job just because I had
- 53:15Speaker 3: a personality and wasn't a mute in the office.
- 53:18Speaker 1: And not funny. Not at all able to do the job, right?
- 53:21Speaker 2: No, I mean, I did the job okay, he said.
- 53:23Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.
- 53:25Speaker 2: But I brought something more valuable, which is a personality.
