0:24
S3: Alex Dyson.
0:25
S4: Yeah. The prime Minister announced a national day of mourning
0:28
S4: for the Queen R.I.P.. But whether you are a monarchist
0:32
S4: who wears a union jack bow tie to work, or
0:36
S4: whether you're thinking, Well, I see people, I see royal watchers,
0:41
S4: I see they do what one?
0:43
S3: Like, what is it you Jack? Bow tie?
0:47
S4: I don't know. Maybe they drive a little mini with
0:51
S4: a union jack on the front, like.
0:53
S3: You know somebody else.
0:55
S4: Whether you do that or you're more interested in, you know,
0:58
S4: removing Australia from the monarchy and seeing it as it
1:01
S4: is a passing of an old system. We're here for you.
1:04
S4: We're sticking out of that because we respect our as Matt.
1:07
S4: We're going to be talking to someone who was instrumental
1:09
S4: in making sure the mikes were turned on today.
1:12
S3: Yeah, that's right. We do listen to you so you
1:14
S3: can always keep in touch with us at Matt and
1:16
S3: Alex on Instagram. I've also got a little bit of
1:19
S3: a mind blowing fact for you that we'll be diving
1:23
S3: into a little bit later on. So no shop show
1:26
S3: here on this sweet, sweet Thursday. Hope you having a
1:29
S3: good one. It's about now.
1:30
S4: It's sad. Sad Thursday.
1:32
S3: Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Oh, yeah. My bad, my bad. It
1:36
S3: passes me to your possibilities. This is just the start.
1:40
S3: Everyone ready? Let's get this.
1:41
S4: Show on the road. Let's go. Here we go. Here
1:43
S4: we go. Here we go.
1:44
S1: Matt Now it's all day. Breakfast.
1:47
S4: Yeah. Matt, We talked to the bosses here at Matt
1:51
S4: and Alex HQ at Listener, and I said, Boys, you
1:55
S4: can take the day off. You will be very upset
2:00
S4: and have a commemorative scone with jam and cream. And
2:05
S4: you know what? We were almost going to do it.
2:07
S4: We're almost going to do it.
2:09
S3: Then we got a message. Alex Dyson from a listener.
2:13
S3: And we read every single one that comes in and
2:16
S3: we take every single one seriously. We like complaints at
2:18
S3: government bodies. You know, we don't just we don't just
2:21
S3: sweep it under the rug.
2:24
S4: And ironically, most of the messages are complaints.
2:27
S3: So so we have to take them very seriously. But
2:30
S3: one came through that wasn't a complaint.
2:32
S4: More a wish list, wasn't it?
2:33
S3: It was one asked one person. Renee got in touch, said.
2:39
S3: Here is a list of reasons why you should do
2:42
S3: a podcast on the public holiday.
2:45
S4: We did throw the question out. Do you want us
2:47
S4: to do this podcast on a day of mourning and.
2:51
S3: And we've got that person on the phone right now
2:54
S3: because here we are doing that podcast for this person.
2:58
S3: It is Rene Wilkey. Hello, Rene.
3:01
S1: How you guys? How you going?
3:02
S4: Good, thanks. Where do we find you at the moment?
3:05
S1: I'm actually on holidays at the moment in Alex's hometown.
3:08
S4: Then the gold, you go and hop into the local library,
3:11
S4: say in Dawson on the computers there.
3:13
S1: I forgot about that. The kids asked the other day
3:15
S1: and I didn't go.
3:16
S3: Well, what's what's your favorite part of Warrnambool so far?
3:21
S1: Oh, the The Waterfront is pretty nice. I've been down
3:24
S1: there running every morning. It was.
3:25
S3: You seen any horses on the beach?
3:27
S1: I have both mornings.
3:29
S4: Right. Basically we went yet about ready to, you know,
3:32
S4: pack it in and just give you a Wednesday Friday special.
3:34
S4: But you called up said let's do a podcast we should.
3:36
S4: I said sure, why not? But problem is, Rene, we
3:40
S4: don't have anything to talk about. Got nothing to talk about.
3:42
S4: What do you want this podcast to be about? You
3:44
S4: got any questions for us?
3:45
S1: Oh, listen, boys, I've got lots of questions for you
3:48
S1: young guys out there, but I do have my my
3:52
S1: first question is. The podcast you released last Friday. Til
3:57
S1: Death Do US Part. You kept it up. I'm very impressed.
4:01
S1: You kept it.
4:03
S4: Because as people who made other seemingly insensitive tweets of
4:08
S4: hastily taking them dead once the news of the Queen's
4:12
S4: sad policy came through.
4:14
S1: But the U2 you've got these are balls of steel,
4:17
S1: I suppose, and you just keep throwing these things out
4:19
S1: there and getting away with it. And that's what I love.
4:23
S3: I can't even remember what happened.
4:24
S4: Well, we were talking to Murph from the wombat.
4:28
S3: Yeah.
4:29
S4: How was it?
4:30
S3: What we call the virtual death to us.
4:32
S4: The name of it.
4:32
S3: Yeah, that's.
4:33
S4: Right. Cos and it came up at 5 a.m. and
4:35
S4: the news of the Queen's death came through at about
4:37
S4: 530 or something.
4:38
S1: It was perfect timing.
4:40
S4: Oh, no, no.
4:43
S1: But the main reason that you should run it really
4:45
S1: today and you are running it is, It's birthday. Two
4:51
S1: years of COVID lockdown. And everything's going to be more expensive.
4:56
S1: Probably call it a surcharge. Oh. One free thing I
4:59
S1: can do is listen to you guys in the morning.
5:01
S3: Yeah, that's right. We are. We charge the same every day.
5:05
S3: No matter where you are, how you're listening. What are
5:07
S3: you looking forward to the most about today's birthday?
5:10
S1: Oh, look, catching up with people. Because everyone can come
5:12
S1: over because it's public holiday. No one's working. Oh, no.
5:15
S1: I sit around the fire and have some public surcharge pizza.
5:21
S3: Louis, how you feeling about pineapple on pizza, Renee?
5:24
S1: Oh.
5:26
S3: Yeah. I used to be like you. Oh, but my.
5:30
S3: My tongue, my taste buds, much like you, has matured. Oh,
5:35
S3: and what's the best?
5:38
S4: I ate only a day older today.
5:42
S3: Right. But. So I like. Wonderful.
5:44
S4: Now, give me a little bit of that hot pine
5:46
S4: for your. I disagree with you every night, but what about? Well,
5:51
S4: something I was thinking about today with, you know, obviously
5:53
S4: the queen's passing. Having the day of mourning is grandparent's, right?
5:56
S4: 96 is a really good age. Just thinking about, like
5:58
S4: my own grandparents, all of which have passed away. We
6:01
S4: had some, you know, good times and good chats with
6:03
S4: your grandparents over the years.
6:04
S1: Yeah, definitely. One grandma is still alive actually in Northern Ireland,
6:09
S1: so she's still going at 94, I think.
6:13
S4: Oh, it's incredible because that's the part of the UK,
6:16
S4: the Northern Ireland section of the United Kingdom. Yes, she
6:20
S4: a monarchist.
6:21
S1: She is.
6:22
S3: How did she do the lining up thing?
6:25
S1: No, no, no. She's in a home now. She's just
6:29
S1: in the home. So what she's.
6:31
S3: What's the most amazing thing about her?
6:34
S1: Oh, the most amazing thing about grandma. She still manages
6:38
S1: to watch this show in the UK. It's called Countdown.
6:41
S1: I think they have got and they have got it
6:43
S1: here in Australia. Actually, I think it goes on me
6:45
S1: sometimes and she still watch that every day and most
6:50
S1: days get that conundrum, that big long word at the end.
6:53
S3: Well, I'll tell you what, that celebrity we did, celebrity letters, numbers,
6:57
S3: we call it letters numbers here. It's called Countdown over there.
7:00
S3: And I mean, I used to watch that show, you know,
7:02
S3: ironing my shirts before I'd go out to do stand
7:05
S3: up gigs. And I think my this is a piece
7:08
S3: of piece. When that clock's ticking and you're on the set,
7:12
S3: I'll tell you what, the sweat drips from the brow.
7:15
S3: It is the hair raising stuff. So she's doing.
7:18
S1: Very next level. She is next level. She loves it.
7:21
S4: Oh, isn't that sensational? Well, tonight, we really appreciate you
7:25
S4: joining us. Thank you very much for getting us into
7:29
S4: work on a public holiday. But that's what we do.
7:31
S4: We really love, you know, you contacting us and getting involved.
7:36
S4: And so, yeah, we thought the least we could do
7:37
S4: is check out another pod. For those who are keen
7:40
S4: on listening to one on a Thursday, regardless of, you know,
7:42
S4: whether you are in mourning or whether it's doesn't make
7:44
S4: as much of an impact.
7:46
S1: Awesome. Thank you. It's. It's only, what, 23, 26 minutes
7:50
S1: of your life every day, boys. Too easy.
7:52
S4: Exactly.
7:53
S3: Thanks. That's easy for you. That's awesome. We love it.
7:58
S3: Thank you so much, Renee.
7:59
S4: These parody songs don't write sell. Come on. I spend
8:03
S4: a lot of time now.
8:06
S1: I keep doing what you do, boys. I love it
8:07
S1: every morning.
8:08
S3: Thank you so much. And I.
8:09
S1: Bye bye.
8:13
S4: All day. Breakfast now. An all day breakfast. It is
8:17
S4: time for.
8:22
S3: Sorry. You can probably hear my tapping away at my
8:24
S3: keyboard as I get my affect up.
8:27
S4: Yeah, well, you do like to bring us a fact
8:29
S4: that will absolutely drop our jaw to the floor. So
8:34
S4: what have been we been working with this week? Well,
8:37
S4: we going.
8:37
S3: We're going below the floor. Alex Tyson. And look, I'm
8:40
S3: not going to lie. Part of the reason why we
8:42
S3: decided to do the Thursday episode when we could have
8:44
S3: just been slacking off like the rest of the world
8:48
S3: in mourning, of course. Oh.
8:53
S4: Am I said Slack is is what Matt O'Connor has
8:57
S4: called anyone not going to work today?
8:59
S3: I got I got I got an Instagram message from
9:02
S3: at Kenny Dot once and it was a tile with
9:08
S3: writing over it. And you know on the Internet when
9:10
S3: you see a picture that was.
9:10
S4: Like the only slack here is getting his content from
9:13
S4: people sending, you.
9:14
S3: Know, and you get, you know, when you see a
9:16
S3: picture of something on the Internet and it has rotting
9:19
S3: over the top of it and you just you know,
9:21
S3: you immediately think, well, this is definitely a fact. It
9:23
S3: has to be true because.
9:24
S4: Oh, of course.
9:25
S3: Because it's, you know, a picture with writing over it.
9:27
S4: Yeah. That's how, you know, a lot of elections have
9:29
S4: been won in the.
9:30
S3: Last week pretty much through.
9:31
S4: The last decade.
9:32
S3: So I looked it up and this was the fact.
9:37
S3: Marine iguanas. Yeah. Ever had a marine iguanas?
9:42
S4: I think they were they the ones in planet Earth,
9:44
S4: the little marine iguana running from the snakes when they
9:47
S4: get born.
9:49
S3: I don't know.
9:50
S4: I continue then.
9:51
S3: So Marine iguanas, right? They're main predators. They're the only
9:57
S3: lizards that they can go underwater and they feed off
9:59
S3: algae underneath the water.
10:00
S4: I have seen footage of them. Yeah.
10:02
S3: Because they live in the Galapagos Islands. And. And their
10:07
S3: main predators are the sharks who can hear their heartbeats
10:12
S3: from up to 13 feet away. It's about four meters
10:16
S3: or so. Three meters? Four meters.
10:18
S4: When you're that close, you're not to see them.
10:22
S3: Well, they're pretty good to camouflage, you know what I mean?
10:24
S3: Like you've not been able to find your keys. I'm
10:26
S3: sure they're just in the same room as you.
10:28
S4: So. Yeah, true that you know so.
10:30
S3: And also know sharks have eyes on either side of
10:33
S3: the head, so the iguana could just be right under nose.
10:36
S4: Yeah, you're swimming above. So. So this is on the rocks, right?
10:39
S4: Camouflaged in the.
10:40
S3: Rocks. That's it. So the shark walks in, stops walks,
10:45
S3: son swims in, stops. He's a.
10:51
S4: That's really good. That just put his throat over the microphone.
10:55
S4: I just did a little hot beat for you right there.
10:57
S3: This is my first rodeo.
10:58
S4: It's like a 1930s radio play. And then that came
11:02
S4: with a two horse shock riding on a horse and.
11:12
S3: And anyway, yeah, he has that sound and goes, Yeah, Mo,
11:16
S3: it's dinner time. Right. But these iguanas are able to
11:20
S3: voluntarily stop their hearts for up to 45 minutes. What's
11:25
S3: to deter the sharks?
11:27
S4: That's, I think, a bit of a double whammy. The
11:29
S4: fact that they could hear the heartbeat of the fact
11:31
S4: that the iguanas now know that they'd go. Whoa, quiet
11:34
S4: down there.
11:35
S3: Yeah, exactly. I thought that was pretty impressive.
11:37
S4: Oh, it is true.
11:38
S3: That's true.
11:40
S1: Mind round along the way.
11:43
S4: You got yourself a mind blowing there, Matt. Good work.
11:46
S4: Good work. Thank you, Iguanas. But yeah, if you haven't
11:50
S4: seen the planet Earth one with the iguana running away
11:52
S4: from the snakes, it's the best chase scene of all time.
11:56
S4: Better than any James Bond. Yes.
11:58
S3: I know what you're talking about.
11:59
S4: It's brilliant. Yeah, but we like your mind blown as well.
12:03
S3: I just realized I could have done some sort of.
12:05
S3: The shark enters the. You know, enters the room, hears
12:08
S3: the and thinks, Ooh, I'm iguana eat. You know, I.
12:20
S1: Just throw.
12:21
S4: Up, you know.
12:21
S3: I mean, I'm iguana eat.
12:23
S4: You leave them to the advice of I reckon Matthew
12:27
S4: but I thank you for sending in your own mind blown.
12:29
S4: Please record yourself reading a fact to us and send
12:33
S4: it through the matter. What? Alex? As Christy Jane has done,
12:36
S4: who has a mind blown about compliments.
12:39
S1: Hey, Matt and Alex. I have a fun one for you.
12:42
S1: It's not a fully proven fact. However, this is something
12:45
S1: I have observed and have yet to be proven wrong.
12:49
S1: Women are unable to accept a compliment without providing a
12:54
S1: fact about said compliment. For example, I love your hair. Thanks.
12:59
S1: I just watched it. I love your dress. Thanks. It
13:03
S1: has pockets or I got it on sale. So if
13:07
S1: you're ever looking for a fun activity, compliment the women
13:09
S1: in your life and wait for the fun facts.
13:13
S4: Brian, you are a really good producer.
13:17
S1: Thanks. No, no, That's it. That's it.
13:22
S3: There is anything. Just to do. You know, I actually
13:27
S3: did complement your your top. You did? Yeah. Well, when
13:30
S3: you when we when you greeted me at the door.
13:32
S1: And I did give you a five. What did.
13:33
S4: You say.
13:34
S3: You did.
13:35
S4: What did you say?
13:36
S3: The fact was that you had been complimented a few
13:38
S3: times today on that talk.
13:39
S1: Yeah. Mind blowing.
13:43
S4: Christy.
13:43
S3: Jane, you did. You said you said, Oh, thanks. I've, I've.
13:47
S3: But then. Oh, yeah, yeah, you then you sort of
13:48
S3: downplayed it, you know.
13:51
S1: Yeah. But then Yeah. Because when people start complimenting you
13:53
S1: one off throughout the way you just think and I
13:55
S1: been looking like a piece of cheese every time I
13:59
S1: walked in here. And then all of a sudden everyone
14:00
S1: today is like, Oh, you look really nice and nothing different.
14:04
S4: That's it. Well, you've yet to be disproven. Christy, Jane,
14:07
S4: thank you very much for that. And yet, as mentioned,
14:10
S4: place and in third we love to Adam here at
14:11
S4: Matt and Alex all day breakfast. Let's move on with
14:14
S4: the show. What?
14:20
S3: All day breakfast.
14:24
S1: Drippy.
14:33
S3: I love wine and everything about it. What are you into? Wine.
14:36
S3: I love. Love.
14:37
S4: Well, before we do, leave you on this Thursday public holiday.
14:41
S4: National Day of Mourning. Producer Brian is with us. Hello, Brian.
14:46
S1: Hello.
14:47
S4: Nice of you to wear the union Jack bow tie.
14:51
S1: Yeah, Thank you. More for Geri Halliwell.
14:55
S4: Yeah, that dress. Iconic.
14:57
S3: Iconic. So, um, what have you seen around the place
15:02
S3: with regards to this particular day of mourning, Brian?
15:05
S1: There's a lot of articles out. A lot of people.
15:09
S1: Thank you. Did you hear those? There was actually some
15:11
S1: audio from a ghost. Apparently, that was like death is.
15:16
S1: It was actually creepy. I'll get looked at it now.
15:18
S4: Okay, Here is creepy audio.
15:22
S1: The death is irreversible. And the fact that she.
15:24
S4: As you can see.
15:26
S1: On ITV in the UK, they were like showing a
15:30
S1: picture of the queen in the coffin. And then it
15:34
S1: was just a normal person talking. And then there's a
15:38
S1: whisper in the background saying the death is irreversible. And
15:41
S1: the fact that she thought was really ominous.
15:43
S4: It's also some. Quite scary audio of the, um, I
15:48
S4: think it was the TV presenters who saw the new
15:51
S4: Prime Minister Liz Truss, walking. It didn't recognise that it
15:54
S4: could be some minor royals.
15:58
S3: And so that doing the rounds on Twitter. Yikes. And gosh,
16:02
S3: can we please is this please let this be the
16:05
S3: end of this Meghan Markle business. Every day just they're
16:12
S3: just smashing her.
16:14
S1: She can't breathe without getting an article.
16:15
S3: I know, right? Something that she does. The way she
16:19
S3: blinks is wrong. Oh, she did this. Oh, look at
16:22
S3: how she's this. No, I. I've yet to see any
16:26
S3: evidence that there is a feud between her and Kate.
16:29
S3: I'm literally yet to see anything that would actually indicate that.
16:33
S1: No.
16:35
S3: If I make it against.
16:37
S4: Megan, though, Get sucked in, but don't get sucked in.
16:39
S4: But Broad, you've got another story.
16:42
S3: To tell.
16:42
S4: That relates to this.
16:44
S1: Kind of. It was just a memory I had from
16:46
S1: when I was at university. Very vague memory that I
16:49
S1: was in this class, I think in my second year.
16:52
S1: And something was they were talking about the Queen. And
16:54
S1: everyone's like, Oh yeah, like, whatever. She wears cute outfits.
16:59
S1: And one guy was like, Oh, I really love the Queen.
17:01
S1: And everyone's like, Oh, okay, cool. And he's like, No,
17:04
S1: I really, really love the Queen. And then proceeds to
17:08
S1: show us how it starts.
17:09
S3: And I just really turned up our face then. Like,
17:12
S3: that sounds.
17:13
S1: Nasty. He then showed us his phone screensaver, which was
17:18
S1: a picture of the queen he had as his background.
17:22
S4: Wow.
17:22
S1: I just want to say, you know, I forgot who
17:25
S1: you are, but it's really a sad day for that
17:28
S1: guy today.
17:29
S4: How did the queen as your background?
17:32
S1: Yeah.
17:33
S4: That's interesting. I would never think to have. Any world
17:38
S4: leader in my background. I wouldn't put the Prime Minister
17:41
S4: as my back background would put the president in the
17:44
S4: fight background.
17:45
S3: I mean, so fear is my background.
17:48
S4: Well, you're you're related to her. I want you.
17:51
S3: To know who does have the queen as the background
17:53
S3: permanently the $5 Note that, like the fox on its screensaver,
17:59
S3: has been the queen for a long time.
18:00
S4: I wish the I'm sure the Australian Mint wishes that
18:03
S4: it was easy to change that as it would be
18:05
S4: to change your vote background.
18:07
S3: So. So have you. Have you had on your phone background, Brian.
18:11
S1: At the moment, mine's just a of my friends. A
18:13
S1: group of my friends.
18:14
S3: Oh, that's nice. Do you like your friends? More than
18:16
S3: I like mine. I've never put my friends on my.
18:19
S1: Phone using that.
18:21
S4: Yeah. Imagine if we had each other.
18:26
S3: As a.
18:26
S1: Group.
18:28
S4: But it.
18:28
S3: Would.
18:29
S4: Be so odd. Oh, that's.
18:30
S3: Great. Okay. I would have definitely had.
18:33
S1: You know, full at way back in the day. Yeah,
18:35
S1: for sure.
18:36
S3: What was the what's the, like, most embarrassing fan thing
18:41
S3: you've done? Because I had a friend who wrote to
18:43
S3: Delta Goodrem when we were in high school.
18:45
S4: Whoa.
18:46
S3: Yeah, he was really.
18:48
S4: Bringing that up with Delta when we interviewed her on
18:50
S4: the show multiple times.
18:51
S3: Oh, I just had forgotten about it. But now he
18:53
S3: was really into Delta and so. Yeah. Yeah, he, like,
18:57
S3: he wrote her a letter. Yeah.
18:59
S4: Remember what? Just saying. Hey, I really like your acting.
19:03
S3: I think it was. Yeah. And I think it was just. Yeah,
19:06
S3: I think it was something like something real like that.
19:11
S3: Something real by the letter. Just wanted to say. I
19:14
S3: just think what you do is really nice. Sorry.
19:19
S4: So what they said about you and I absolutely disagree.
19:24
S3: It just sucks. Dirty kneed, groveling, Bloody Simon. Yeah, you know.
19:33
S3: Or we to say that to me. I don't know.
19:36
S4: Could be. Because, like, I guess fan mail is actually
19:38
S4: quite good. Yeah.
19:40
S3: I read someone telling me that. Just nice things. You
19:43
S3: know what I mean?
19:43
S4: Yeah. Do the opposite and just slam people on social media.
19:49
S4: Rip them to shreds.
19:49
S3: Usually I get people calling me a crumb and pointing
19:53
S3: out how bold I'm going. Like no one ever said, Hey, well.
19:57
S4: That's an Alpha move. It's time to wipe down the
20:10
S4: benches and close the kitchen on another episode of Old
