• 0:00
  Speaker 1: This is Kiss Breakfast.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: All right, Ali Langdon, host of A Current Affair, joining
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: us live right now for R U OK?
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Day. Ask R U OK?
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Any day because a conversation can change a life.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Why did you want to get involved, Ali? What does
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: it mean to you?
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Morning, Ali. Good morning, guys. And thanks for talking about it.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: I really appreciate it. You know, I've been involved in
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: this from when it was just an idea and it
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: wasn't even real. That was going way back to 2008, 2009.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: And it's been great just to see it grow as
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: it has back then. We didn't even talk about mental
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: health or suicide prevention. And now, you know, like my
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: daughter's just got dressed for school today. She's wearing her
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: R U OK? Day T-shirt. They're raising money for it.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: For it, it's just fantastic to see.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, good on you.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Now, last time we had you here, you rapped for us.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: That video, you can check it out on the KISS socials.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: It went off.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Did you enjoy seeing yourself rapping live on radio?
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: My kids told me that I embarrass them and that
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: I'm never allowed to do it again. And I felt
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: after they told me that someone needed to ask me,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: are you okay?
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: Because I wasn't.
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: Don't you just love kids?
• 1:15
  Speaker 6: I actually get a kick out of humiliating my kids,
• 1:19
  Speaker 6: always with my really sick dance moves or singing or
• 1:23
  Speaker 6: public shows of affection. And especially my youngest boy at
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: the moment, he doesn't want a bar of it. So obviously, naturally,
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: I tend to do it more. Are you a bit
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: the same?
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Look, that's it, right? As soon as they don't like something,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: like I remember my husband and I had a kiss
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: in the kitchen and Mac started making vomit noises. I'm like, oh,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: that's disgusting. And I'm just like, you silly, silly boy.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: You showed me such a big reaction and now it's like, hey, Mac, Mac, Mac.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: And then I'll go over and kiss his dad. And
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: there's nothing more revolting. It's just. It's one of the
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: great joys, right, that we get is embarrassing them.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: Got to play up to it.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Cover their eyes and tell us we're disgusting.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Last time I saw you was at the Logies on
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the red carpet.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: What's that after party like? Was there any rapping there?
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: Is it loose?
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Oh, look, you know what? I'd love to create, you
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: know what? Yep, the party's wild. Oh, my gosh. We
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: were out till the sun came up. By the time
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: the night ended, my dress was so heavy, so my
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: feet were so sore. I put slippers on as soon
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: as I got outside. I think I had two drinks
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: and I went home to bed. Isn't that the saddest
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: story you've ever heard?
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of. It is a Sunday night, though. Why
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: are they doing it on a Sunday night? Do it
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: a Saturday night.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: I know. Sunday night is brutal because, you know, no
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: one's getting up and driving the kids to school at
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: a quarter past seven for you. That's for sure.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when's our Christmas parties here? I've worked for networks.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I think the last network, they had their Christmas party
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: on a Thursday night, and I'm doing breakfast for them.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I'm like, that's balls. What night do we do it?
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: It's on a Friday. You know why?
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Because they know you, and they know that if they
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: do it on a Friday or Saturday, they'll never get
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: you out of the joint. So I reckon that's deliberate
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: to keep the booze bill down.
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, this is very true.
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: So obviously you didn't, sadly, take home the gold logo
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: this year, but you did take home the Ray Martin.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: Award for the most popular news or public affairs presenter.
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: That's pretty cool. Were you, like, shocked, excited, surprised? Or
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: you just knew you had.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: It in the bag?
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: That was really special.
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, I love Ray, and Ray was obviously, you know,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: a host of Current Affair years ago. No, that one's
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: a really, really special award. And that's the one that,
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: you know, you set that– being very appreciative, but you
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: kind of accept it on behalf of the team. So,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm very aware that I'm just the front
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: person who, you know, sits in the chair each night
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: and that there's a massive team and that everyone contributes.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: So that one feels very much like a team effort.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Now, I was watching last night, actually. You had a
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: bit on September 11th, which is tomorrow. Tomorrow is the
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: 25th anniversary of September 11th.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: 25 years ago. 25 years ago.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Do you remember where you were and what you were doing, Ali,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: on September 11th?
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I do because I remember work calling. I'd been
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: with Channel 9 for about a month. Right. And it
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: was my first, you know, job in media. And getting
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: the call that night because it was late at night.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: It must have been like 11, 12 o'clock at night.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: And racing into the office. And that was the first
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: time that we did rolling coverage. Yeah. And we went
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: live for four days.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: And I just remember it's like this brand new bright-eyed journo. Yeah.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: In the room, my job, I was just clocking all
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: the vision that came in. So there was a lot
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: of really traumatic things that we saw that to this
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: day never went to air. just all the raw feeds
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: of things coming in. But, like, people would– you'd grab
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: 20 minutes sleeping under a desk somewhere, but, you know,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: no one went home for four days. You might race home,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: have a shower, and then come straight back in. But
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: it was so insane.
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I remember my boss at the time saying, we've never
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: seen anything like this, and this has never happened before,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: and it probably won't, you know, in our lifetime.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: So you're telling me before September 11, networks didn't really
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: do live rolling coverage.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: You just do news at the night.
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: No, and we may have done like a special, but
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: nothing like that because we've never seen something of that
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: magnitude before. That's the event. A lot of people wouldn't remember,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: but before September 11, you could rock up to the
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: airport 15 minutes before your flight. You weren't taking shoes
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: off and taking bottles of, you know, you were allowed liquids.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: You weren't being scanned. It changed everything. Everything used to
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: be able to, before September 11, wander through Parliament House
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: down in Canberra freely. Security changed all around the world
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: after that.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: So true.
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: Ali, we've recently discovered something about one of our team
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: members recently. just over the last couple of weeks. It
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: was actually, it came about when you last came in.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: A few things were said.
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: I just want you to take a listen to the
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: conversation between one of our producers.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: So this is Dan.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: And our digital guy, Dan.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, here we go.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: This is recorded.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Here we go.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Dr.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: Kiss, first guest.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Then we have Ali Langdon, road traders.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: She's not coming in. She's on the phone. Why? No,
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: she's like my favorite. She's very cool.
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: Ali Langdon's your favourite?
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: I just think she's awesome. Like, she's just so cool.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: And when she rapped last time in the studio, her
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: cool factor just went like, oh. I don't know, there's
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: something about her, right?
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: I've never heard you talk about a guest like this.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Are you serious? Do you have a crush on Ali Langdon?
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Who doesn't? Do you?
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I think she, I want to be Ali Langdon, but
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: I don't have a crush on her.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: I think having her as a wife would just be sick.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: A wife? Yeah, no, I don't mean that for me.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: I just mean, because I know she's married.
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: Like, Yeah, and she has kids.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: Yes, I know that. I can admire her from afar.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying, overall, like, she's just so cool.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, Dan.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: Oh, my God. Dan's coming to cut your grub.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Nothing is sacred in this place.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: Nothing is sacred.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, can you believe they did that to you?
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I know, Dan.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: I can't believe it, Ali.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: Hey, I accidentally... farted in the studio the other week.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Can we find the fart again, please?
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: No, don't find the fart. Put it on my Facebook wall.
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: The show was.
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: Off air and it just accidentally slipped out and they
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: somehow had the audio of it and they made an
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: entire segment of it.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: Dan, if Ali was single.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I just said that I think she's cool.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: She'd be a great wife. You said that she would
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: be a great wife.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: And when she rapped, her cool factor just went up.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Do you have many male admirers?
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Hey, can I appreciate that? Because no one calls me
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: cool anymore.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: Oh, you're definitely cool.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: So, Dan, I feel a hundred bucks. I was going
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: to say a million, but I feel a hundred bucks.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Good to hear, Ellie.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: End time. I'll wait to see you next time.
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: Still got it, Mel.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Hey, before you go, Ellie, we have found Amy farting,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: so this is the moment it happened.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Oh, yes, Lee. You don't have enough time to get home,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: do you?
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: No, I don't. It's 11.30, right?
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: Do we really have to play that again?
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Amy, they're always better out.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Than in, babe.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: Nothing is safe here. Everything is used as content.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: No, we're always recording.
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: You have to really choose your moments and your words.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Just so you know, in case you didn't hear it,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: we did isolate it.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: That's it there.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Wow. Oh, wow. I tell you what, that sounded stinky.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you this, it wasn't. It was loud. The
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: acoustics on it was loud, but there was no smell.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, because isn't it silent but deadly?
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, silent but deadly.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I figure if there's no smell, then
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: it's totally acceptable.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Inappropriate question, but Amy's also admitted to, like, doing a
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: poo with the door open in front of her husband.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Do you do that in front of Gavin?
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: It's Michael. No, it's Gavin, according to you. No, I haven't.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: I draw the line there. Even after nearly 20 years
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: of marriage, I draw the line there.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: That'll make Dan like you even more.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just gone up. The cool factor's up.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Oh, there we go. I'm just winning this morning.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: But the kids don't respect one's privacy, that's for sure.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: Yes. That's, yeah. Yeah, that's exactly the same.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, thank God.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Hey, Ali.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Good on you. Always great to see you.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Never leaving that down, Amy. No.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: We'll see you when you're back.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: Thanks, guys.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: And now I wish I'd come in to meet Dan, so,
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: See you next time. See you next time.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Next time, Dan.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: Next time, Dan.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Next time.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: Next time, Dan.
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: He'll wear a collared shirt.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Oh, fancy. Yeah, fancy.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: We'll see you on a current affair tonight.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: And thanks for supporting R U OK?
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: Thanks, Ali.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Remember to ask R U OK any day because a
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: conversation can change a life.
