  Speaker 1: This is Kiss Breakfast.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: And Amy has a hit of celeb news. Yeah, I do.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: What are you looking at? So professional. I'm all ready.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: You ready to go, bro? Yes, I am.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Thanks to Georgie. So Chris Hemsworth, he has his own
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: production company. Oh, yeah. It's called Wild State.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: A lot of actors do that because there's more moolah
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: in producing stuff. You should have your own production company.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I should with all my spare time, hey? He
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: started it as a side hustle in 2022 and he
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: produced a series called Limitless. So I think it was
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: on Disney Plus. It was a doco where Chris underwent
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: physical and mental challenges to test how humans can live longer.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Sounds like that– who's that– freaky guy over in America,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Brian Johnson.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, is he the one that thinks he looks younger,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: but he actually looks older?
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: He's terrifying to look at, but he's biohacking himself. Yeah.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Am I right? He's like 48 or something.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: And he's trying to make himself live longer and look younger,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: but he actually looks older.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: No, he looks unhealthy because he looks like a vampire
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: that doesn't actually ever see sunlight.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Anyway. How old is he? Can we find out?
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I think he's about 47.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: But does he not look older?
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: He looks like an old man trying to look younger.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's not actually even that old. It says
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: he's 49.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, 49. Yeah, it's like he needs a blood transfusion.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: He's very pale.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Anyway, that was Chris's show, Limitless, which had absolutely nothing
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: to do with Brian Johnson. Now, this production company, Wild State,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: it's only been open for four years, but it is
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: now closing.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: All over. So it's all over. Employees have received notice
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: that they will be paid out to the end of 2026.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: That's all right then. A website for the company is
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: no longer working and it just leads to a blank
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: page that indicates it's expired.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I wonder what's happened.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Well, basically what's happened, according to page six, he's saying
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: he's ditched the company to focus on other movie opportunities.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: So he was well known as Thor. He's just secured
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: a $ 57 million deal for two movies. Up and coming
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Avenger movies.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Okay, so he doesn't want to do the production. He
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: just wants to earn money acting.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. He probably took it or opened
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: it when maybe times were a little bit quieter.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: As long as he's looking after those staff and he's
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: paying them to the end of the year. How good's
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: a payout? I've had payouts before.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I actually think he would have done the right thing
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: by his staff.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you'd hope so, especially if he's earning that
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: amount of money.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Well, if you're that cashed up, you've got to look
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: after your stuff, yeah.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: You ever been paid out? They're like, don't come back here,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: but here's some money.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Nah, never.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Ego-wise, it hurts.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Does it?
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Financially, you just go to the beach all day and
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: get paid.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my husband, in between his last two jobs, he
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: went on gardening leave. And he basically got paid three months.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: And I was like, man, that must feel good. His
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: full salary.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I did about four months of gardening leave once. Oh,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: how good. Because I was in between places and I
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: wasn't allowed to work.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so basically when Ryan resigned, they were like, okay, cool,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: because you're going to a competitor, you have to leave
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: straight away.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: That's what happened to me. I think we weren't allowed
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: to start until February or something.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: But we were getting... Paid from both. It was great.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: You're just doing nothing.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: How good.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: After a while, you get bored, though.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I would never get bored.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, you got nine kids or something. Just three.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: The MTV VMAs went down yesterday, and there's just so
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: much to unpack. So, obviously, there was a beautiful tribute
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: to Dolly Parton. Performed by country music star Casey Musgraves. Oh, yeah.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Can we hear it?
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Bit of controversy because people were expecting Miley to perform
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: because she's obviously Dolly's goddaughter.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: She didn't do it, though.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: No, she didn't. So Casey Musgraves performed I Will Always
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Love You.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: All right, here we go.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I will always love.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: You.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I always love you. Oh, that was a bit of
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Dolly there.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I think that was Dolly. That would be hard to,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: as a country music artist, to be able to, that
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: was Whitney Houston's song, right?
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but Dolly originally did.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, did she originally perform it too?
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, which is more in that style.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: But, I mean, everyone knows the Whitney one, right?
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: And that's. I don't know, that was a bit underwhelming,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: wasn't it? Sean's the singer.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I think it would have been nice.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: She was on pitch.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Could you do it?
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Nah.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: In your band style? What's your band's name again?
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: The Ritz Kids. I don't have that sort of voice,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: you know? I don't have the voice, I wouldn't say.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Couldn't you do like a punk version? Yeah, probably.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: You probably could. That'd be cool. Talk of the show,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Taylor Swift taking home the first ever Artist Director Award.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: So that was the first time that award has actually
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: been handed out. And the biggest award of the day,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Video of the Year.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Good on her.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: For her music video, The Fate of Ophelia. So she
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: also debuted the music video for a new song, Patient Zero.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: You're Loving.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Which I like.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: And that starred... Actress Dakota Johnson, Colin Farrell. And then
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Madonna was actually the biggest winner. So I think she
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: was nominated for 13 awards.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Crazy.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: She took home seven.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's like a 1999 or 1991 all over
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: again with Madonna winning.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I didn't realise people loved her so much. Sorry, I know.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: The gays love her.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I know she is loved, but I didn't know she
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: would be taking home that many awards, right?
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I didn't think she was relevant anymore, no.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: They all come from her album Confessions 2, which was
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: released back in July. But the most talked about moment
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: came from Madonna, and it was when she got up
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: on stage with Sabrina Carpenter, who they did some collaborating
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: on that album with her song Bring Your Love, and
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: she kind of gave Sabrina Carpenter a bit of a roasting.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Bit snarky. Have a listen.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Everybody who knows me knows how impatient I am. And
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: when five days passed and I still didn't get connected
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: with Sabrina and didn't hear back from her about whether
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: she wanted to do a song with me, five days,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I DM'd her.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Imagine getting a direct DM from Madonna.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: You'd instantly think it was fake, firstly.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: You'd look for the blue tick, yeah.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but also, Madonna sounds like a bit of a diva.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Calm down. Five days. She's also a high-paid, what am
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I trying to say?
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: She's in demand as well.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. More so than Madonna, you'd think these days.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Well, you'd think so. All right.
