• 0:00
  Speaker 1: This is Kiss Breakfast.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Amy's got some celeb news now. What are you following?
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Celeb news, yes.
• 0:05
  Speaker 3: So the Jonas Brothers have talked about the iconic Aussie
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: cover they played at Melbourne's NFL game the other day.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you were watching this game.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: No, I don't care for NFL.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so just over a.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Week ago, two American football teams took over the MCG
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: for the very first game held on Australian soil. And
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: the Jonas Brothers were performing in the halftime show. So
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: in the middle of all their own songs, they decided
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: that they would drop an Aussie classic.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: You got any guesses of what it could be? An
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Aussie classic.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Waltz in Matilda.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: No.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Maybe something a little bit cooler.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: It was John Farnham's You're the Voice. Like, when you
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: think of an Aussie classic, that's usually what I think of.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Should be our anthem. Should we have a listen?
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Have a listen to what it sounded like.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: What do you think? It's all right.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I don't know.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: John Farnham's voice is so distinguishable and he's.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Got that real Aussie gruntiness. Sean is a muso.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Is that a tough cover to do?
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: What makes that song spectacular when it's done is the
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: range of the vocals. So when John Farnham would sing it,
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: he'd sing very high. What they're doing there, they're singing
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: in a different sort. Yeah, too low.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like they're not hitting that pitch, right?
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: That's why it sounded a little higher.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: He goes really high, and that's what's so stunning about
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: the song.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. Well, interesting.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: And on their podcast, the Jonas Brothers talked about why
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: they actually chose to do that song.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Because they wouldn't even know it. Well, I don't think so.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Turns out it was one of the– Nick? I'm not
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: sure which brother that is. I think he's the oldest. Yeah.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Took a little bit of convincing before the others agreed
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: to do it.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Have a listen to them on the podcast.
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: I think what's cool about this performance is that because
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: it was in Australia, we wanted to honor one of
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: our favorite Australian artists. A song that's been really important
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: to all of us for a long time, You're the
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: Voice by the great John Farnham. A song that is,
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: I think, known by so many people around the world,
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: but it's an anthem for Australian folks. And there was
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: a lot of back and forth if we should do it.
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: It's not one where you go, that's John Farnham, I think,
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: immediately for most people.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: And also for our audience, probably it's a new discovery.
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: It was great, though, because I don't know, I felt
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: the audience instantly connect to us in that moment, which
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: I think was really, really special. And I didn't really
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: know the lore of the song. And Nick, you presented
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: the idea of doing it. And I think there was
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: definitely some back and forth about whether we should do
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: it or not.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I was saying that the whole time.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: I was like, guys, you're not trusting me. This is
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: going to be a moment.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Trust me, trust me, bro.
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I feel like I didn't really know what it was.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: You know what I reckon would have landed?
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Probably not better, but I reckon Horses by Daryl Braithwaite.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I feel like.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: That those two songs are as iconic as you can get.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: So you would have preferred to hear... Which is also
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: a cover. A lot of people don't know that.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Yes, I do know that.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, you did know that.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: By a lady, right?
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, some chick.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Canadian singer-songwriter.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: She wrote it.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: I've heard that she never really even listened to his version.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, really? Wow.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: So you prefer that? Is that your Aussie, like your
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: number one Aussie?
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: That's my Aussie banger.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: At a wedding, I'll be up on the dance floor
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: riding Ryan's shoulders.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, to that. You know what I reckon is the
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: ultimate Australian song?
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Oh, no.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: No.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Don't be like that. I heard it the other day
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: for the first time in forever. Okay. I forgot all
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: about it. Do you remember this?
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Do you remember?
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I remember it, but that.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Is absolutely not.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: It's the ultimate Australian song.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Remember it, Sean?
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a couple of weeks ago in the car, I
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: thought of the lyrics. They came from nowhere and I
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: had to track it down.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: What happened to us.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Get Amiel back. Can we get her on the phone?
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I'll hunt her down. Where did she go? I love
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: a good one-hit wonder. All right, pop quiz time. Oh, no,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: you've got another story.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Sorry.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'd rather not do this because I have
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: such a hatred towards this woman.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: However, it's Bonnie Blue.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, your mate.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: It's not my mate.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Old mate.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: She's not my mate.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: Were you ever mates?
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Never. You despise her, don't you?
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I despise this woman.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Whatever she wanted to do with her own body in
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: her own time, It doesn't concern me, right?
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: So I don't approve of it. I think it's appalling.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: And I think that the fact that she's putting it
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: out on socials so that, you know, other people.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Can– all of the things.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: However, the latest things that she is doing involving her
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: baby are– I don't even have the words for it.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: They're absolutely disgusting. So I don't even know if she's
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: had a baby. I don't know if this is all
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: rage bait.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I don't... No one's got proof, right?
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: Well, Nat, who's not here this week, Nat reckons that
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: there is no baby.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: I hope to God that there isn't because that poor child,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: whoever's been... Whoever, you know, if there is a poor,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: innocent newborn.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: That.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Has grown in her uterus.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I hope protective services steps in.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Fair.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Apparently she.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Filmed herself holding this baby on the hospital bed recently
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: with three men masked up in balaclavas whilst making sexually
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: suggestive comments. And now, despite, you know, the baby being
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: probably a month old, Bonnie Blue reckons she hasn't even
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: given the baby a name yet.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's good.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: So now she's giving us, the rest of the population,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: the chance to do so. As she explains, all you'll
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: have to do is find her bang bus and And
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: scan a QR code. Have a listen to this whore.
• 5:58
  Speaker 8: Just when you thought I couldn't get any worse, you're wrong.
• 6:02
  Speaker 8: I am going to auction off my baby's name so
• 6:04
  Speaker 8: that my baby is rich. Unlike you that sits at
• 6:07
  Speaker 8: home and cries about nothing. Maybe you make your kids
• 6:10
  Speaker 8: claim an unseen disability. My baby is going to be
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: in a very high tax bracket from day one. So
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: when you see the bang bus, scan the QR code
• 6:18
  Speaker 8: and help me name my baby. A stranger got me
• 6:20
  Speaker 8: pregnant and now a stranger gets to name it.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Thoughts?
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Listening to that, it's making me think this is all
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: for publicity. Yeah. And I don't think that there is
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: a baby.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: You don't think there's a baby?
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I hope to God there.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Is not a baby.
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: And if there is a baby and she's allowing the
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: public to name the baby, she's done worse than that though, right?
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: No, she hasn't because she's done worse to her own
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: body and that's fine.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Her body, her rules.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: But what she is subjecting an innocent newborn to is
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: absolutely diabolical.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: I know, but it's just a name, right? Does the
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: name matter?
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: You're missing the point. This poor innocent newborn has not
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: signed up for this.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Right. Crap.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: So what name would you come up with? You don't
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: want to help her, no.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: I don't want to help her. I don't even want
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: to talk about her anymore. I don't want to give
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: her a platform. I want her to disappear.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: With her fake baby.
