• 0:00
  Speaker 1: This is Kiss Breakfast.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Ah, thank you, Sean. Let's go to Nat, get a
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: hit of celebrity gossip. What do you got?
• 0:06
  Speaker 3: You know Christina Applegate?
• 0:07
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: So she was in The Sweetest Thing back in the day. Also,
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: she was in Anchorman, and she was Veronica.
• 0:14
  Speaker 5: What's her name?
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Veronica Corningstone?
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: And as a teenager and into her 20s, she was
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: in Married With Children.
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Big 90s show, yeah.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Apparently also in Friends, in the Netflix series Dead to Me.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: She's great, a great actress. And since 2021... She has
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: been suffering from MS, multiple sclerosis.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember that.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, turns out she doesn't actually have MS after all.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: So she's revealed this in a new interview that she
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: was misdiagnosed. And she, for the past five years, has
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: been thinking that she's got something that she does not.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: So for those who don't know. MS is a condition
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: where the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective coating around
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: the nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. So
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: some of the symptoms can be vision problems, muscle weakness.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: She's been walking around with a walking stick for years. Numbness,
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: tingling and pins and needle feelings, trouble with walking and
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: severe fatigue and memory issues. Now, obviously some of the
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: symptoms she had did cross over with MS, but somewhere
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: back then they mistakenly diagnosed her and she doesn't actually
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: have it. She basically went in to see her doctor
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: and they said, congratulations, you don't have it. You'd think
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: she'd be relieved.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: But she's like, now I'm just confused because she's been
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: walking around as like, you know, And, you know, a
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: spokesperson for people suffering with MS. She's been like an
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: MS warrior and standing and like, you know, talking on
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: behalf of these people. And now she feels like a
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: bit of a fraud.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Because she never had it.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Now you don't know what you do have.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is what she said on this podcast.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Everybody else was so happy.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: When you told me, I feel like my literal first
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: words for you, like, you can dance again, because that's
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: just like where my head goes. Right.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: Because you don't get misdiagnosed and then all of a
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: sudden I'm better.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I haven't gotten better, Jamie.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: If anything, I've gotten worse in some ways.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: And....
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: So I'm back at square one.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like you were saying, Amy, that's horrible. I mean,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: she doesn't have it, but you don't know what you have.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Well, she's not well. So regardless of having MS or not,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: she's still got something, but she doesn't know what now.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: And the fact that she's saying she's not getting any
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: better would be concerning. I think, you know, if you
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: know what you have, you kind of– You can accept
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: it and make plans around that and put things into
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: place to deal with it and try and.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Help yourself get better. The unknown in many things is
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the worst.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: The fear of the unknown is always worse.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: She's also only 54.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: She's got a lot of life left to live.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Horrible. I hope they find out actually what it is.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: And hopefully can treat it.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure now that all her energy is going
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: to go into finding out the truth.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: But it's a crazy story.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Also, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle relocated back to the
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: UK in the last couple of months. And there's been
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: speculation as to why they did that. Originally, people thought, oh,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: is King Charles, sorry, really unwell? Is that why he's
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: moved back to be close to his dad? Because obviously
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: King Charles has cancer. We know that the kids, Lilibet
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: and Archie, are going to school over there. And they
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: actually removed the kids from one school due to security
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: reasons and put them somewhere else. So now he's actually
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: done an interview and given us some answers. So he
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: was on GQ's One More Question with Zach Barron podcast.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: And here's his explanation for why they moved back to
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: the UK.
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: Opportunities for the family. Being able to put the kids
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: in a British school has meant a lot to me.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: I didn't know how important it was to me. I
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: always thought it was going to be something that I
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: would try and do or that we would try and do.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: But now they've been in school for two weeks. They're
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: loving it. And it's just giving them a whole different experience.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: Don't worry, I'm not criticizing American schools. But I think
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: for kids seven and five to be able to have
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: that comparison and to be having two completely different cultural
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: experiences is so important today. But yeah, to be back
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: closer to my family and to be back on UK
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: soil for longer than a few days or a week
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: here or there.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: As to what his plans are with his family, because
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: obviously he's been estranged from them for quite some time now,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: he does go in on in the interview to say
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: that he does want to salvage his relationship with both
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: William and Charles, saying with everything else that's going on
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: in the world, the most important thing is to reconcile.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, with your family. The school thing. I knew it.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: These Brits, they're big on bloody schools, you know, the
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: private schools. It means so much what school you went to.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: So maybe that was one of the driving factors.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: I feel Australia is so laxed with our school. And
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: I think maybe we have pretty good schooling in general.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like public schools. Like our public schools aren't bad. Why?
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Because even in America, going to an Ivy League university
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: is everything to them. And obviously in the UK, going
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: to these really like Eden, isn't that the one in
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: the UK that's really Francois? Yep. In Australia, we've got
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: private schools. I know that in Sydney, we've got the
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: big private schools.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Well, I drove past one yesterday with my girlfriend. I
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: picked her up in Edgecliff. I think it was one
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: of them or one of them.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: And there are elite private schools.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: But it's not everyone goes to them or it's I
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: don't feel it's that important.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Why are the elite ones always single sex?
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Like Newington boys.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, kids.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they are. They're girls or boys. Yeah, why?
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Is that the thing?
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Wasn't there a scandal?
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Well, not a scandal, but they were trying to make Newington, I.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Think, co-ed?
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: No, Newington is co-ed now.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: Is it?
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: It is co-ed now. Yes, but the old boys, as
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: they call them, didn't like it. No, they didn't.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is co-ed. Is it because they think the
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: opposite sex distracts you at school? Because I actually find
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: I went to an all-girls school, expelled, and then.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Moved to a public school.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: But when I had no boys at school with me,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: when I saw them, yeah, it was like, ah! Whereas
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: when I just went to public school, it was just normal.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Stinky boys were just there all the time.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: It's funny because my mum is English and my grandparents
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: are over in the UK, really big on schooling. said
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: to my mum, hey, we will pay for your kids
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: to go to private schools in Australia.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: They wanted me to go to Skeggs.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: The boys to go to Scots College and stuff. My
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: mum sent us to the local public school up the road.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: She was like, no, thanks.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: How good was our high school?
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Where we went. Can I cut? I can't see you
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: at Skeggs. Can you imagine? Oh, I can.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: You can?
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. You would have got extolled. What?
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: No, I saw what you did there.
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: I did nothing.
