  Speaker 1: This is Kiss Breakfast.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Amy Gerrard.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Yep, and now Amy Gerrard. You've got to hit a
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: celeb news, don't you, Amy Gerrard?
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I sure do, Mikey.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: What up?
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Miley Cyrus.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: So she almost backed out of one of her biggest
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: performances of her career. Good old Dolly Parton. She actually
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: talked her off the ledge and persuaded her to do this.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: So it was back in 2024. Miley had released Flowers
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: the year before and it became one of the biggest
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: songs of her career.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Probably the biggest, I reckon, Flowers.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: I reckon she's had so many. I love Wrecking Ball.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, that was huge as well.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how it goes.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: That's exactly how it sounds, right?
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Anyway, she didn't want to perform because obviously she was
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: still getting over her heartbreak from her divorce from Liam Hemsworth.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: I couldn't think of anything worse than getting up on
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: stage in front of hundreds of thousands of people and
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: performing a song whilst dealing with a broken heart either.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: But it would be an epic performance full of emotion.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: No, I just want to rot on a couch somewhere,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: you know? Anyway, she got up. She didn't want to
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: do it, but she got up, and when she touched
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: down in Nashville, Dolly Parton drove herself to the airport
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: to pick up Miley, gave her a pep talk, and
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: she told Zane Lowe the story. So have a listen
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: to this.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Dolly was just always right about stuff. Like, she told
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: me for the Grammys, she was like, you need to, like...
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Just fake it. Like, I'm like, but I don't want
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: to do it.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I'm scared.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: And she's telling me why I got to do the Grammys.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, I can't. Like, you know what happened?
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: I feel like I'm still in this rest and recovery mode.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: And she's like.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Get your hair teased and get a dress that you love.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: And you're going to step into your Hannah Montana, your
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Dolly Parton. Like, you have that part of yourself. Like,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: you have that other thing. It's what the military uses.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: It's what the best athletes use.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, good advice. And you do need someone just to
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: push you to do something. Yeah, absolutely.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: And not only did she go through with the performance
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: that night, but she won her first two Grammys. Yeah.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: That night on the Flowers song as well. So great
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: advice from the late Dolly there. Dakota Johnson, do you
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: know her? She's the Fifty Shades.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Fifty Shades of Grey she starred in. She's opened up
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: about not being where she imagined she would be at
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: her age.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Mm.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: And I can relate to this. You know, as a
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: kid or as a girl growing up, you always think, oh,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: you know, I'll meet my husband at 22 and I'll
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: have a white picket fence at 25.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Be married and all of that.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Specifically, Dakota thought that she'd be a mother by now.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: How old is she? She's 36.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: And she told Vogue that it's hard to be around
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: my best friends and everyone has their baby and they're
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: starting their families soon. And then she went on to say,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I didn't expect to be this age and at this
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: place in my life. But whatever reason, that's the plan
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: of the universe. And I hope that having kids happens
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: for me.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Well, it still can. But yeah, I get that, mate.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: All my mates went camping with their kids on the weekend.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: One bloke went who didn't have kids. Don't know why
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: he wanted to.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: I remember this. And you didn't get invited.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, they all doing things together because they've
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: all got kids.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: And I haven't had them yet. But, you know, I just...
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Keep going.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Do you want to be invited to those sorts of things?
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Not overly.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: I still found it weird that my mate– you don't
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: have kids, mate. Why did Grant go there? Why did
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: you go, Grant?
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? You want to
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: be surrounded by.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can safely say that if I had, let's say,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: a child-free weekend and there was a bunch of my
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: girlfriends and they were all going away to, I don't know,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: a caravan park with all their kids, I would absolutely
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: not be going.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: No.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: But to be fair, though, like when, you know, they're
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: all doing things and it involves kids, you can sometimes
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: feel left out.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: But it's all right. I've got my 30-year-old hot girlfriend,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: so I'll just do stuff with her.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Well, you've just got to knock her up and then
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: you will have kids.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not hard.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: No.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Do you know how babies are made?
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, I do. We're just going to practice, I think.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Until I get it right.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Just don't leave it too long, you know?
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Why? What happens? Well, I don't know.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Your swimmers get tired and they age.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it does happen to men as well, doesn't it?
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I thought of freezing them once.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Freezing your swimmers yeah you can do that i know
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: women freeze their eggs i didn't realize men froze this yeah.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: I told my girlfriend that the other day the last
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: radio show before this one we were looking at doing
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: it they were gonna pay to do it but okay.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: You know what you should do though what you should
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: do before it happened before you even freeze them you
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: should get it's tested you should get it tested to
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: see if it's worth it yeah well to see if
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: they're active yeah like my girlfriend's got hers tested, and
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: then her husband's were swimming round and round in circles,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: so they went straight to IVF.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Gotcha. Couldn't I, though?
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Like, it cost a fair bit of money. I'm thinking
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: I could just do it myself and whack it in
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: the freezer.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Or just in your freezer at home. Just like in what,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: like an ice cube tray?
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't work like that.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Don't confuse it with all the little bottles of Yakult
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I have there as well.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, yuck.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Separate them.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: In this break.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Break over. Break over.
