a wonderful moment.
Speaker 2 (05:00):

Speaker 4 (05:01):
So Sydney Zoo at Easton Creek is home to some
of the most charming creatures. Yeah, we know, four thousand animals.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
You don't have to go through the statistics.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
We know.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
It's an amazing place.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
I like to call them smile inducing creatures, which is
all what you guys are like. And it's very exciting
to announce that Sydney Zoo is now home to Quakers.
Oh the Quaker, the Quaker who we love, you know, Quaker.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
The only place in the world you can find a
Quacker is Rottenest Island. Yeah, that's perfect.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
So they're the ones that you can get. Chris Hamsworth
had a selfie with it. They smile, They smile for you.
I think they're trying to attack you, but it looks
like they're smiling.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
No, they're really friendly. I love them.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Now two of them are already named, which is great,
it's very exciting. The other one will be put in
the people of Sydney. We'll get to vote on the
name of the good idea. It'll be quoting the face
or something like that rolls off the tongue. Ah, So
I said, two are already named, and we can see
(06:12):
them on the screen. I think they'll come on the
screen now that were crossing lives.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Cities and I love this. I've spent time on Rotnest

Speaker 4 (06:34):
The two Quakers that we're looking at right now are
actually named Fitzie and Whipper.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
You're kidding me. How are you going to get through
life like that?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
So we had two beavers named after us in a movie.
Now we've got two quoppers. Can you tell us a
little bit about their playing personalities?
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Well? I think you can help us aside. So we
have have two females and one male. We are going
to name one of the males and female after you.
So this is the male here. This male is very confident,
quite stubborn and pushy. He was on my life earlier
trying to get the food. And then we've got one
of the females here who is a little bit more shy.
(07:19):
She's coming out of her shell a little bits, a
little bit more timid and kind and a little bit
more courteous. So I think I can leave it up
to the studio backshop. Is one named after who is.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
One hairer than the other?
Speaker 3 (07:35):
The male is actually a little bit hairy and a
little bit tumpier, and.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Does one have breasts?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I think the male? Do you mind Dash if we
name the male with her?

They seem really comfortable to be around you and humans.
They got a lovely nature, they do.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
They do have a very pleasant nature and the smile
that you've seen in photos is actually because they have
a naturally up to turned mouth, so it looks like
they're constantly smiling, but they are. They do have really
nice natures.
Speaker 2 (08:20):

What let's move on to what this study has gone
on to say that if you would like to cut
back the chances of heart disease and cancer, right, so
make it less likely that you're going to die, you
need to do one hundred and fifty minutes of exercise.
It can be you just need to stay active to
its moderate to vigorous activity each week one.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Hundred and fifty is this a week next week? Oh
that's not bad. No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
This is what I'm thinking. This is. They're going on
to say you can knock over your exercise in two days.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Well, let's just over twenty minutes a day.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Well, if you want to break it up. Yes, they
studied ninety three thousand people. They said, you don't need
to exercise every day to stay older, your grazy kids.
You just need to do one hundred and fifty minutes.
Moderate to vigorous is moderate like to me, moderate is walking.
Vigorous is a slight incline.
Speaker 2 (13:22):

Let's talk about one of the biggest feuds ever in
show business, Ryan James, and it may be over. I'm
talking about Elton John and Madonna.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
There was a real hatred here. Wasn't the huge.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Going on for decades because Elton, when Elton gets angry,
he lets everybody know he's angry.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Well, there's two assive diva's there going for it. I
mean Elton, I mean Elton spoke about this regularly that
he had to go anger management for quite a while.
You mean, like he went off the ras there for
a bit. It wasn't until he mate he met David
that he sort of settled down. David Furnish, beautiful songwriter.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
David.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
As soon as he furnished the house, he knew that
I'm time for me to settle down.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
So who can I I've written some lyrics and who
furnish this?
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Who extended the olive branch here.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Well, Madonna actively went forward to say, Hey, I want
to talk to you about this, so I'll explain what's happened.
Let's wind back to a little bit of Elton's finest work.
To start with, he went and that came out a
while ago, and he said that Madonna had the worst
Bond song ever if you remember this song dying another day.
So he rubbished her for this. That's a fair cool
(19:50):
I kind of agree. I mean, you've got Sam Smith,
Billie Eilish has done it, Adele, Adele has done a
beautiful for the Bond movies. Then he also came out
and referred to her as a fairground stripper, which basically
means it's a cheap stripper, when of course she would
be no doubt high class if you were to refer
(20:10):
to her as a stripper. But I don't think she
was wrapped with that either. Then there was the Q
Awards where Elton found himself up against Madonna for the
Best Live Act, and Elton got up to say a
couple of words, have a listen.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Madonna, best enlive? A oh, since Wanna's lips sinking been live?
Sorry about that? But I think everyone who lip syncs
in public on stage when you play like seventy five
good to see them should be shot. That's me off
her Christmas card list. But do I give a toss.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
No, I'd love to see him, guy, I'd love to
see it live. Yeah, he's not here to muck around.
So anyway. Then turned to SNL's fifty year celebration and
Madonna saw that Elton John was going to be performing,
so she was invited to perform and get involved. Also,
she thought this might be the chance to finally confront him,
(21:06):
so she said, you know, over the decades, it really
hurt me what he'd said, you know, because I admired
him so much, and his dislike of me publicly as
an artist has really really hurt. So she said, when
I got there, I needed to go backstage to confront him.
When I met him, the first thing out of his
mouth was forgive me.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
I see, that's classic Elton.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Classic Elton, and there's probably a song in it, and
she said, then the walls between us fell down. Forgiveness
is a powerful tool. Within minutes, we were hugging. Then
he told me he'd written a song for me and
wanted to collaborate. Oh that's beautiful. Okay. It was like
everything came full circle and you can tell everybody this
is your song. He then said to her, Oh, I
(21:50):
think you said to Diana.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
You can tell everybody this.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Is your makeup song. He then went and went and said,
thank you for forgiving me and my big mouth. I'm
not proud of what I said, particularly when I think
about all the groundbreaking work you did as an artist.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
That's a beautiful story, yep.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
And also for the part paving the pathway for an
entire generation of female artists to succeed and truly be themselves.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Or see, this is where I think Guy Sebastianan and
Shannon L should do this just bury that.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I don't think there's an issue between now.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I think I think there is, and I think SNL
fifty years. I think that's that's the chance for them
to come together and just go.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
We're going to for fifty years of Australian idolo. Fifty years.
They get dick O Bat, they get Mark Holden, they
get all the great.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Today is a great story. Have we got Elton John
and Madonna tickets to give away? Tom or just lady

They have contacted us and this this is like such
a wonderful moment.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Will be the judge of that.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
So Sydney Zoo at Easton Creek is home to some
of the most charming creatures. Yeah, we know, four thousand animals.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
You don't have to go through the statistics.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
We know.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
It's an amazing place.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
I like to call them smile inducing creatures, which is
all what you guys are like. And it's very exciting
to announce that Sydney Zoo is now home to Quakers.
Oh the Quaker, the Quaker who we love, you know, Quaker.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
The only place in the world you can find a
Quacker is Rottenest Island. Yeah, that's perfect.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
So they're the ones that you can get. Chris Hamsworth
had a selfie with it. They smile, They smile for you.
I think they're trying to attack you, but it looks
like they're smiling.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
No, they're really friendly. I love them.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Now two of them are already named, which is great,
it's very exciting. The other one will be put in
the people of Sydney. We'll get to vote on the
name of the good idea. It'll be quoting the face
or something like that rolls off the tongue. Ah, So
I said, two are already named, and we can see
(06:12):
them on the screen. I think they'll come on the
screen now that were crossing lives.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Cities and I love this. I've spent time on Rotnest

Speaker 4 (06:34):
The two Quakers that we're looking at right now are
actually named Fitzie and Whipper.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
You're kidding me. How are you going to get through
life like that?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
So we had two beavers named after us in a movie.
Now we've got two quoppers. Can you tell us a
little bit about their playing personalities?
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Well? I think you can help us aside. So we
have have two females and one male. We are going
to name one of the males and female after you.
So this is the male here. This male is very confident,
quite stubborn and pushy. He was on my life earlier
trying to get the food. And then we've got one
of the females here who is a little bit more shy.
(07:19):
She's coming out of her shell a little bits, a
little bit more timid and kind and a little bit
more courteous. So I think I can leave it up
to the studio backshop. Is one named after who is.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
One hairer than the other?
Speaker 3 (07:35):
The male is actually a little bit hairy and a
little bit tumpier, and.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Does one have breasts?

name the male with her?

They seem really comfortable to be around you and humans.
They got a lovely nature, they do.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
They do have a very pleasant nature and the smile
that you've seen in photos is actually because they have
a naturally up to turned mouth, so it looks like
they're constantly smiling, but they are. They do have really
nice natures.
Speaker 2 (08:20):

What let's move on to what this study has gone
on to say that if you would like to cut
back the chances of heart disease and cancer, right, so
make it less likely that you're going to die, you
need to do one hundred and fifty minutes of exercise.
It can be you just need to stay active to
its moderate to vigorous activity each week one.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Hundred and fifty is this a week next week? Oh
that's not bad. No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
This is what I'm thinking. This is. They're going on
to say you can knock over your exercise in two days.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Well, let's just over twenty minutes a day.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Well, if you want to break it up. Yes, they
studied ninety three thousand people. They said, you don't need
to exercise every day to stay older, your grazy kids.
You just need to do one hundred and fifty minutes.
Moderate to vigorous is moderate like to me, moderate is walking.
Vigorous is a slight incline.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Yeah, has anywhere? Does anyone? I've become addicted to the
rings and my Apple Watch. Are you the same time?

This is the fitting and with her with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Let's talk about one of the biggest feuds ever in
show business, Ryan James, and it may be over. I'm
talking about Elton John and Madonna.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
There was a real hatred here. Wasn't the huge.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Going on for decades because Elton, when Elton gets angry,
he lets everybody know he's angry.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Well, there's two assive diva's there going for it. I
mean Elton, I mean Elton spoke about this regularly that
he had to go anger management for quite a while.
You mean, like he went off the ras there for
a bit. It wasn't until he mate he met David
that he sort of settled down. David Furnish, beautiful songwriter.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
David.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
As soon as he furnished the house, he knew that
I'm time for me to settle down.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
So who can I I've written some lyrics and who
furnish this?
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Who extended the olive branch here.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Well, Madonna actively went forward to say, Hey, I want
to talk to you about this, so I'll explain what's happened.
Let's wind back to a little bit of Elton's finest work.
To start with, he went and that came out a
while ago, and he said that Madonna had the worst
Bond song ever if you remember this song dying another day.
So he rubbished her for this. That's a fair cool
(19:50):
I kind of agree. I mean, you've got Sam Smith,
Billie Eilish has done it, Adele, Adele has done a
beautiful for the Bond movies. Then he also came out
and referred to her as a fairground stripper, which basically
means it's a cheap stripper, when of course she would
be no doubt high class if you were to refer
(20:10):
to her as a stripper. But I don't think she
was wrapped with that either. Then there was the Q
Awards where Elton found himself up against Madonna for the
Best Live Act, and Elton got up to say a
couple of words, have a listen.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Madonna, best enlive? A oh, since Wanna's lips sinking been live?
Sorry about that? But I think everyone who lip syncs
in public on stage when you play like seventy five
good to see them should be shot. That's me off
her Christmas card list. But do I give a toss.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
No, I'd love to see him, guy, I'd love to
see it live. Yeah, he's not here to muck around.
So anyway. Then turned to SNL's fifty year celebration and
Madonna saw that Elton John was going to be performing,
so she was invited to perform and get involved. Also,
she thought this might be the chance to finally confront him,
(21:06):
so she said, you know, over the decades, it really
hurt me what he'd said, you know, because I admired
him so much, and his dislike of me publicly as
an artist has really really hurt. So she said, when
I got there, I needed to go backstage to confront him.
When I met him, the first thing out of his
mouth was forgive me.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
I see, that's classic Elton.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Classic Elton, and there's probably a song in it, and
she said, then the walls between us fell down. Forgiveness
is a powerful tool. Within minutes, we were hugging. Then
he told me he'd written a song for me and
wanted to collaborate. Oh that's beautiful. Okay. It was like
everything came full circle and you can tell everybody this
is your song. He then said to her, Oh, I
(21:50):
think you said to Diana.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
You can tell everybody this.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Is your makeup song. He then went and went and said,
thank you for forgiving me and my big mouth. I'm
not proud of what I said, particularly when I think
about all the groundbreaking work you did as an artist.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
That's a beautiful story, yep.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
And also for the part paving the pathway for an
entire generation of female artists to succeed and truly be themselves.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Or see, this is where I think Guy Sebastianan and
Shannon L should do this just bury that.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I don't think there's an issue between now.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I think I think there is, and I think SNL
fifty years. I think that's that's the chance for them
to come together and just go.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
We're going to for fifty years of Australian idolo. Fifty years.
They get dick O Bat, they get Mark Holden, they
get all the great.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Today is a great story. Have we got Elton John
and Madonna tickets to give away? Tom or just lady
Gaga Today, Just Gag at this stage, Sits.
