  Speaker 1: Look this time yesterday mate, we had some awkwardness. I
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: want you to listen to the chaos. You've done a
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: lot of live broadcasting yourself. You know what it's like
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: when you're trying to get the guest on air and
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: the guest just is not picking up their phone. Here's
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: what you did to us yesterday, mate, have a listen.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: We're just waiting for Adam Hills, by the way from
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Spicks and Specs to join us.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: A few minutes later.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: So Spain beat Portugal.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: Portugal obviously has Cristiano Ronaldo, and he was saying lying
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: after the match too on the Ronaldo thing, if we
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: are still padding, I used to work with someone who
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: used to date him.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh she was really hot. Yeah yeah.
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: Anyway, how are we at with the guest thing?
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I am just listening to like a real center link
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: hold music situation. I'm very stressed.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Back end, so it's not happening.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: It should be happening, but it's meant to be happening.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Now you need to longer than a few minutes later.
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: I know something about a very popular soccer player. So
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: he'd had like a one night stand with a sexy
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: little thing and then he would wake up, put their
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: clothes in the bath, so it wear all their clothes,
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: so they were forced to stay into the hotel room
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: and wait for them to dry so he could make
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: his exit without getting papped with them.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: Much much lateral.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: What do we know about this Adam Mills character.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I still haven't got him on the line, unfortunately. And
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: let me tell you there is nothing worse than this
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: current experience. Much much much ladawl.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Just to clarify, John Watkinson and Ronaldo dated in two
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: thousand and seven and they used to drink tea and
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: watch episodes of Only Full and Horses together.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: Oh is he?
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Is he here? Now?
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: No?
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: He's still not here. Sorry, let's go to ads. Let's
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: sort this out in a second.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, explain yourself, Adam Hills, what was happening this time yesterday?
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Okay? So it all studded with me. I was filming
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: a British TV show in the countryside and it's top
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: secret and I can't tell you what the TV show
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: is or where I was. Okay, it starts with that.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Secondly, we were so far in the countryside that the
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: internet in the hotel was so dodgy that I was
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: meant to be doing an interview via Zoom call and
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: couldn't get any Zoom coverage, and then tried to do
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: it via phone, and then there was I was so
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: far in the countryside there was no phone reception, and
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: then I just couldn't dial into the conference call I
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: was meant to dial in. So yeah, I'm now back
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: in London tonight. So I apologized profusely and later in
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: the year you'll find out what I was doing.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, good hawk, good teas. And look, you could
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: have just blamed Telstra. I mean, we've heard Telstra is
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: out today. I could just blame Telstra. Adam, Hey mate,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: this has been on air twenty years, which is amazing
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: really and everyone enjoys this show. Have you got a
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: favorite decade of music that you enjoy? Oh?
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: Wow? Well, look, I mean I'm an I was born
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: in nineteen seventy, So the eighties was really the era
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: in which I discovered music. You know, Adam and the
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Answer is one of my favorite bands, mainly because there
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: was a guy called Adam who dressed like a pirate
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: and I've got one leg and it all came together.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: I love that.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: And May you're a big rabbit O supporter of the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: South Sydney Rabbitos for our Melbourne listeners. You helped set
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: up a team in their physical disability rugby league as well.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: You've been following along with the JR. Roh story. I'm
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: guessing we heard today that he got married. But it's
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: such a sad story for a former rabbit O's player, isn't.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: It It is? And it's such an incredible story, and
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: it's such an incredible experience to watch the whole rugby
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: league world come together. I'm the president of the rfl
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: over here in the UK at the moment, and recently
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: we had a guy Rob Burrow who had mode in
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: your own disease and again it just it shows why
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: rugby league is a great sport because everyone gets behind
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: everybody else and it doesn't matter what team you're on.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: One something like this happens rivalries are put aside and
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: it's just one big community.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is, and there's a lot of people feeling
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: for him and of course celebrating that they got married.
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: Mate.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: All right, you want to see Albo got in hot water.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: He was talking about Kylie Minogue with his shag married
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: kill game. You're not playing games like that on Spicks
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and specs. But what did you think of the controversy?
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Do you think you could have answered it in a
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: different way?
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: I think, Look, I think I think it's one of
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: those questions that if you're asking the question of the
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: prime minister, it puts him in an incredibly tricky position.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: I was asked something like that recently, and what It's
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: really hard because you.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: Don't want to be to kill joy and go, look,
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: I don't think that question's appropriate. Yeah, but but you
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: do you know, you don't want to be a wet blanket.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: But by the same taking, you're the prime minister and
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: someone's thrown something like that at you. I think I
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: think probably the best thing for him to have said
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: maybe would have been look, I don't think that's an
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: appropriate question to be asking the leader of any country.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: But I really feel for him because you don't want
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: to ruin someone else's interview. But I don't know what
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: he could have said. You know how you could possibly
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: have answered that, Yeah, I.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: See your pope. Well, let's do it to you, But no,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: we'll do it on men, right, let's do it on
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: guests that you're having on You got Frank Woodley, Tommy Little,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Kelly Holliday, shag Marry kill.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: Do you know what now that I'm put in a position,
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: I completely see Albow's point, and it would be shagg
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: Mary kill. Are we saying, yeah?
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: No, you know what, we'll keep it on the podcast
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Shag Mary date, Yeah, shag married. We know there's another
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: version of that game. I'm sure you know, Adam Hills.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: But let's go Frank Woodley.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: Shagg Mary Date. I'm going to imitate Elbow, and I'm
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: going to say Kelly all three.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Ah, he's a good looking man, isn't he.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: He's a good looking man. But he's a really nice bloke.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: And his name's Adam, so I wouldn't have to.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: That's true. I could just remember his name. The guy
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: that you're dating and shagging mate twenty years as spits
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: and specs before we let you go why has it
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: been such a big hit? Is it the music? Is
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: it the guess what's so good about it?
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: I think it's a whole bunch of things. But I
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: think people love music the same way, and it doesn't
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: have to be the same music. You love your favorite
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: band in the way I love my favorite band, in
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: the way someone else loves their favorite band, and as
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: long as we kind of. I was taught very early
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: doors to explain to the viewers who each of the
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: bands were that were being talked about. In fact, someone
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: told me the best advice I got was from a
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: guy called Peter Fayman, who says, imagine Spicks and Specs
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: as a dinner party, and the camera is the last
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: guest to arrive at that party, and your job is
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: to introduce them to every other guest, make them feel comfortable,
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: and if a conversation happens that you think they might
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: not be across, just make sure they know who you're
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: talking about. So I think the reason it's been that
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: successful is because I got that advice, and we just
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: treat it like a big dinner party.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I bet you didn't expect it to go on for
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: twenty years, though.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: No, especially when we finished it after seven.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, that brought it back well. If you want to
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: see it tonight, News, season, spits and specs. It is
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: premiering tonight at eight thirty on ABCTV I View. What
• 7:54

• 8:08

• 8:14
