Twenty year.

our lives. When we first started this show, both my
children were preschoolers. Jack was only like four months old

weird while you're at my house is unusual.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
But you became a grandfather over the holidays, your son
Morgan and his wife Zoe had a little baby boy.
What do you get to be called, because you know
you're supposed to? I think so I'd like to be grandpapa,
and often you get hey, bum face, and then that
becomes the family lexicon.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Printed, they just printed everything for Bato.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Yeah, and we had those photographs taken and we're pretty
much standing at the beach in a wind tunnel, and
I looked like a human skull?

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Did people thought you were doing Hamlet by the Beach
Twenty years is nice? Let's thumb through the Germanic.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
That's Let's survived the Holidays, our big book of musical facts.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
You know, on this day in nineteen seventy seven.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
Big Day Day, Big Day, Brendan meat Loaf released his

Speaker 1 (14:35):
You know that's song? I do you know? That's so? I?
Do you know?

Speaker 3 (14:38):
Meat Loaf and Jim Steinmond, Poor old Jim. He did
a lot of work. He wrote a lot of meat
Life songs, but he also wrote a lot of songs
for other people, like this one.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
Okay, Todd Runjim, but no, yeah on Tyler's body. Okay,
what about this one? Selene?

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Did I didn't know that?

Speaker 1 (14:57):
This is your big too fisty?

Speaker 2 (14:59):

Speaker 1 (15:16):
That's a three fist time.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
And I look forward to it.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
Let's put on some of Jim's work, but sung by Meatloaf.
Twenty years of Jonesy and Amanda on the radio.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
They said we'd never meet.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
I said that, you did say we give I think
the Drew's still out some days.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Ah, yeah, I know. I think we're on the way in.
After twenty years, I think we should give it up.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
Well, look it is twenty twenty five, our first day
back here for twenty twenty five, and I think it's
only right that we look at the Nostrodami's predictions. Every
year people go, well, he's predicted some extraordinary things for
this year. Yeah, he always seems TikTok bam coming.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Did he see that? It's been like you on beyond
two thousand? Didn't see the mobile phone, did you? Well?

Speaker 2 (16:00):
But they were the size of a suitcase wi fi.
Oh it's not my job to invent things.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
Yeah, but still I'm just saying, nostro Damis is very Oh,
there will be trouble in the Middle East.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
I'll do How did you know? I'll tell you it's
so amorphous. These are the things I love. This headline
or this opening sentence, known for predicting some of the
most significant events in history, such as the rise of
Hitler or the death of Queen Elizabeth. From the moment
someone's born, you can predict their death pretty much true.
So this is Nostradamis's predictions for the year twenty twenty five.

(16:31):
Significant climate change because they say he's a predicted major
climate upheavals because his quadrants quadrants, that's what he calls them,
mentioned quote confused seasons and rising waters. That could be
my menopause. I'm not sure major technological advances. How did
Nostrodamis know about this? Because he said, man a machine

(16:54):
becoming one. He's seeing those human sex dole things. You know,
a lot of men are becoming one with them. That's
how I'd read that. Geopolitical conflicts, broken alliances, brothers turned enemies.
They're saying, yes, Middle East, Southeast stage are global stability,
blah blah blah blah blah blah, significant medical discoveries, death

(17:15):
conquered by new science only that's just this year, So
that's good something to look forward to. What have you
heard of Babba Vanger?

Speaker 3 (17:22):
Is that that little dwarfy looking guy, you know, no
dick stuff for the and all the millennials like him.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
I thought it was a woman, but I could be wrong.
That's insulting for Bubba Vanger. Bubba Vanger died more than
twenty five years ago. No, it's a woman.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
Ah, I've got a picture here. She's got no eyes.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
No, and yet bizarrely she sees everything. She sees everything.
She's a Bulgarian mystic and some of this is what
she is saying. For the year, are you ready that
the UK will face grave conflicts taking place in Europe,
Russia will survive and it will dominate the world, she said.
She said there'll be a battle resulting in earthquakes on

(18:00):
the wall. Sounds like Godzilla. And also she said, this
is the year that we will finally meet some aliens.
We will have face to face contact on a large
scale with aliens. She said. It will happen under odds circumstances.
This is intriguing with the first introduction predicted to take
place during a major sporting event. So I'm predicting me

(18:25):
and Bubba the Big Bash Grand Final. Tavid Dubby Taylor
will be sucked up into a spaceship and have an
anal probe and get some crop circles in his pubes
and we will go Well, it's real, it's happening.

Speaker 3 (18:38):
I have good air conditioning and like you without mascara.
You'd be just like Bubba Anger with no eyes.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
Thank you, Brendan. I see the future and we're not
hitting twenty one years this last year. Who knows, but
I'm thrilled to be back.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
It's great to be back. Young Nation Podcast. Let's get
on down to the jonesy a man Arms of the
pub test. The big Aussie backyard is dead.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
Apparently no one's run around in the backyard. The quarter
acre block swinging on the hills, hollyst Well.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
It's been predicted that by two and fifty seven only
twenty five percent of dwellings across Sydney will be self standing.
Apartments will climb from thirty percent to fifty percent of
dwellings attached homes like terraces, duplexus townhouses will increase. And
what that means is that what they're saying also is

(19:33):
that the houses that are being built are the same
size as we have now, but there's no backyard. And
does it matter? Is it an old belief that we
need the backyard. It's the Aussie dream, isn't it? Sort
of the postwar picket fence kick a ball around, But
that's not how we're living now. I always wanted a
big backyard because I've got two sons. But the older

(19:53):
they got, and we live near a park, they go
over to the park, and the older they got, the
less space they needed. Now it's you know, you still
might kick a ball at the park, but you're in
your room on your technology, that kind of thing. So
I don't we still have in our heads that what
a shame we're going to lose the backyard. But I
don't know if we still if it's still relevant to.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
Throw back to the good old days.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
Kids going out in the morning and they're not coming
home to the street light came on.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
But no one's living like that anymore.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Because we're in the future.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
Do we need the big Aussie backyard? How do you
feel about it disappearing? The big Aussie backyard? Does it
still past the pub test?

Speaker 3 (20:28):
Thirteen ninety seven thirty six is our number. Everyone's a
winner today.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
Every caller that makes it to ek it's a gold
floating half pend.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
I haven't seen that pen, And have you got one?

Speaker 2 (20:38):
No, I've been asking for one. I would like to
wear one. I would like to own one and keep one.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
You want to wear them all so you look like
mister tte A, Pity of the Fool, jem.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
Jam Nation, Rundon and ele Bounder and you're on the
same show. Let's start wearing lipsticks.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
That is fantastic.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
Twenty years.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
We've been doing this show for twenty years.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
When you look at it.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
When I started here back in two thousand and three,
I didn't like it looked like I wasn't going to
last the first week.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
It looked pretty bad. So you needed me.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
You need to agree.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
And I was interesting.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
When I was working over at Triple M at the time,
they said we want you to come over to WS
and I said, look, you know, come on, guys, you guys,
you've been trying for a long long time.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
And I said, we're going to change WS. We're going
to go with classic Hits or Gold.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
Oh how many years ago?

Speaker 11 (21:27):
Is that?

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Two thousand and three? So here we are.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
We're Gold.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
So they'll sack us next week. But we got here twenty.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
Is it's we're still as we're saying, same same new name,
same music, same mass, same.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
Everything, even the numbers the same.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Our phone number is exactly the same, thirteen ninety seven
thirty six. We're just now called gold.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
Someone was telling me the gold thing explains what's in
the box? Better?

Speaker 2 (21:54):
Is it gold in a box?

Speaker 10 (21:56):
He said?

Speaker 2 (21:57):
All I heard was gold. Well it come fashion it
into jewelry.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
It's just cool. But speak corporate?

Speaker 2 (22:01):
Is it word salad? So we're happy to be gold.
I'm happy to be gold. Also, look big things. We've
been on air for twenty years. We've shared so much
of our lives, so much stuff. And something amazing happened
to you just in the last few weeks.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
Yeah, I got a bunch of carpet off in the house.
Some I was good. I did a bit of painting.
When I said I wasn't.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Being a softy.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
My daughter got engaged, brilliant. My grandfather and yes, Morgan.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
And Zoe had a baby boy. Well, how do you
feel you was a grandfather? You know the image we
have of grandfathers, you know, it's on popular culture, is
an old bloke smoking a pipe in a rocking chair.
You're not that, and I'm sure most grandfathers of these
days aren't. But how do you feel being a granddad?

Speaker 1 (22:49):
It's pretty cool? It is pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
And I saw a fabulous photo that you sent of
Helen holding the baby, and you said it reminds you
of when all those years ago, when she is holding
Morgan in her it must be an extraordinary thing.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
It's uncanny how much a little guy looks like Morges.
It's uncanny really.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
And probably looks like you as a baby. That's genetics
at work.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
But he said to your mom, you're holding him a
bit too tired. I said, mate, I've done this.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
Every grandparent has this same discussion where the new parents
are allowed to say, oh, don't do this, don't do that.
I've been here before.

Speaker 3 (23:23):
And so it begins as I'm smoking a pipe over
the kid.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
It's wonderful news and great news at Romany. Your daughter
and Michael got engaged. That's a big family things.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Your son and Laura's moved up an.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
I know absolutely it was all happening. It was all happening,
a big couple of weeks for your family. Congratulations all round.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
Thank you. And now look at us. Here we are
doing this.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
Here, we are doing this and they were little betties
when we first started. That's true, isn't it. It is true,
and yet we've aged backwards. Like Benjamin Button, I'm in
a nappy. I'm hoping that's because I'm Young podcast.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
When I want right now, go to your windows, stick
your head on a yell, let's get on down to
the Jonesy, no matter of arms for the pub test. Today,
the big Oussie backyard is dead, according to the papers.

(24:24):
Does it pass the pub test? And do we still
need the big Aussie backyard?

Speaker 2 (24:27):
They're saying that well, predictably, with our housing crisis and
more and more people in our city, the dwellings, the
size of the dwelling, if you're in a single standing house,
will be the same, but your yard won't be as big.
And more and more of us are moving into semi
detached places, into apartments, into terraces, townhouses. So the big

(24:50):
Oussie backyard may be a thing of the personal.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
Matter, the houses, the mcmahonsions as they used to call them.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
So now you don't have a get out of town lawnmile.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
You've got to get out of town vacuum because the
house is so big and it takes up the whole block.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
Yeah, but more and more of us are going to
be living in apartments and flats, et cetera. Does it matter?
As I said earlier, I used to think that my
kids needed a big backyard. We didn't have a big backyard.
We lived near a park. But as the kids get older,
they would still go to the park if they wanted to.
But they become less but you know, they spend more
time in their bedrooms.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
Do you put a swimming pool a cement pond in
the backyard?

Speaker 2 (25:25):
You know it was hilarious is when we were putting
it in and it was still just that raw gray
concrete unfinished. It was raining, and the kids sat in there.
And now we have these beautiful sunny days and the
only person that goes in is the dog.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Dog. You build a pool the dog.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
Does it matter that we're losing the big backyard, the
big Aussie backyard? Does it still pass the pub test?

Speaker 8 (25:49):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (25:50):
I love it.

Speaker 8 (25:50):
I've got a big backyard.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
We played badminton, basketball, play around a background all the time.
I could not live in a little.

Speaker 8 (26:00):
Backyard or a flat.

Speaker 11 (26:01):
Yeah, I miss having a big backyard when I was little.

Speaker 13 (26:04):
So or sometimes you can enjoy having this swing a
swinging pool.

Speaker 11 (26:08):
It was unreal.

Speaker 6 (26:09):
Oh, we have to continue having a backyard. It's just
so fabulous. It was just such a great space to
have your friends over, barbecues and yeah, just a time
to gather with all the neighbors. I hope it doesn't die.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
They're crazy today.

Speaker 11 (26:25):
I remember years ago we used to be able to
play soccer and football everything in the backyard.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
Today they can't swing a cat.

Speaker 8 (26:31):
I'd like my yard because I don't want to be
able to shake my neighbor's chin from my bedroom windows.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
I like to keep it anonymous. It's a hand, who
does yeah?

Speaker 1 (26:45):
Just shake this wee.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
I missed the Winston Blinds have sponsored that.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
Every call, by the way, everyone's a winner.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
That's right. Every single call that makes it to we
today gets a gold floating heart pendant. It's a beautiful pendant,
a little heart shape on a chain. I've had a look,
it's lovely.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
We don't give away rubbish, No, we don't.

Speaker 8 (27:10):
This year.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Some for those water bottles last year, jonesy the amount
of water.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Know the dreadfa straw. I mean we suck but not
well enough.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Look, I'll just get on it. And it's like I
can't get.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
I could watch you smoke a bong all day. I'm
going to shake my neighbour's hand through my bedroom window.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
We have been on air for twenty years.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
I wonder we sound exhausted.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
We've got a new person controlling the desk, Tom, who
has done an excellent job. Jim Y Rye is elevated
into a new position apparently.

Speaker 9 (27:45):
Yes, I am now heading up the development and foundations.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
Training daft daft Yeah, okay, it's an acronym. This is
a serious thing.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
Suit, you've had a haircut, You're like one of the
kids from rug Rats were in a soup.

Speaker 9 (28:02):
Well, they contacted me, they said, look, we don't want
to let you go. Do you want to do this?
And you know I had to decide was the juice
worth the squeeze?

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Okay?

Speaker 9 (28:12):
And I decided it was okay, work the squeeze. So
I'm here all week training. What's your name again, mate Tom?

Speaker 2 (28:18):

you ever managed.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
Jim Y rise Star is elevated and.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
It'll be our boss in a week. We've just been
talking about it. This is our twentieth year, extraordinary and
here why you became a grandpa in holidays, your daughter
Romany got engaged, Morgan and Zoe had a little baby boy.
You know, we've been here for so long together. When
we first started, my kids were preschoolers. It were to

(28:46):
both and now there Now this year they'll be twenty
four and twenty two. Remember the first day at school
for both of them. We did this radio show from
my house. I cooked them some eggs, that's right, so
I could take them to school. Remember Leam at the
top of the stairs in his school uniform was like
the bride come down the stairs. Well, I made him
wear that veil. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
I remember Liam potty training, I know, I do, I remember,
that's right. For some reason, he set it up. He
won't mind me telling this story now. He set it
up on top of a bean bag.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
No, two bean banks and two cushions and wondered why
hell happened?

Speaker 1 (29:20):
That was extreme when we extreme toilet When.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
We first started this show, John Howard was our prime minister.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Was to when he came in.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
We spoke, yeah, yeah, I mean it's extraordinary. This sounds
like we're post war. We might as well have been
around when menses were there. So there was John Howard,
Kevin Ruddy, Julia Gillard, right, Tony Abbott, Yeah, Malcolm Turnbull
of course, Scott Morrison and Anthony Aberanie prime ministers.

Speaker 3 (29:47):
We've spoken to who do you reckon? Was the most
because they all change a bit. Did you notice that
before they're prime minister, they're normal? Then they become prime
minister and they're not normal. I said for Tony Abbitt,
he was before.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
And after it came in with onion on his breath.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
Which one do you reckon?

Speaker 9 (30:04):
Was?

Speaker 1 (30:05):
Because like we always had good chats with them all.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Well, that's we've had good relationships with all of them.
But that's how long we have been on air. I've
had two hip replacements. You have to Yeah, I had
one at forty one at forty one just a couple
of years ago.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
We've been had a few motorcycle accidents in that.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
Time, that's true. We broke a world record.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
Two world record, two world record two.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
One of the world records was well, the one that
I most thrilled that we did was doing our radio
show Underwater the Shark Tank at Sydney Aquarium. The other
one was breaking a young chart eating record. It's not
like that gross eating stuff. How many can your stuff
in your mouth? We had to have a certain number

(30:50):
of people there. All they had to do was eat
two different kinds of young char and stay in a
seat and we had hundreds of people there and almost
didn't the record because no one followed orders.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
Well three people couldn't eat or you had to eat
was three dim sims.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Three sims, but stay seated in your chair, and most
people just didn't follow.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
People didn't understand the brief.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
And then everyone stole the decorations as they left. We've
had highs, we've had lows.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
Yeah, that's great. I love doing this show. And this
year we welcomed Tom to the team. And Tom was
down in the car park getting some archival footage or
audio from our show.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
I did. I found a bunch of old tapes. I
got one from your first ever show in two thousand
and five.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
What didn't we sound like in two thousand and five?
Let's hear Elim and I shared a bed because we're
staying with our friends down there, and look sleeping with
a four year old. He snored most of the night.
He put his feet in my back and sleeping with kids.
I don't know what Michael Jackson's seeking. How have we
lasted this lot?

Speaker 1 (31:56):
And Michael was still a lot? I know you do
that material?

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Yeah, wow, how.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
Did we we started the year? Well? Yeah, yeah, that
was the start of the year. I got another one
from the end of the year.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
Okay, let's see if we've improved. Guess what I'm doing
this afternoon.

Speaker 13 (32:10):
I'm going to ride on a camel.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
Really, he is all across the beach. That's what they
have here. And maybe they tow the camel behind a boat.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
Camel that was in front of a live audience at
Great Keppel Island. Moms and dads and Great Keppel Island.
We've outlived Great Kippel Island. That's dead now, good Tom.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
Twenty years on it here, twenty years on air. And
what's going on with TikTok? One hundred and seventy million
people in the United States have been kicked off TikTok.
We're going to be talking to a social media expert
in the States a little later in the show, because.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
I was just about to work on my dance finally.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
I was going to start planking too.

Speaker 3 (33:15):
It was either be Bondy Blue or the Australia's most
sexually active woman. Body Blue is different to the Ema,
the only fan, he's the one of thember.

Speaker 1 (33:25):

Speaker 3 (33:27):
She had to was, yeah, well some people climb mountains.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
Don't they Just well, what is going on with TikTok?
And we're going to get to the bottom because I'm
confused as to who wants TikTok gone, because initially, remember
a couple of number of years ago, it was Donald
Trump when he was people he doesn't like it, He
didn't want TikTok.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
Will either close up TikTok in this.

Speaker 9 (33:50):
Country for security reasons or it'll.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
Be sold right And now recently he's been saying this,
I have a warm.

Spot in my heart for TikTok because I won youth
by thirty four points.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
The president is now on TikTok. My n TikTok.

Speaker 9 (34:04):
We did go on TikTok and we had a great
response with billions of views.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
They said, we got to keep this sucker around a
little while. Not like him to change his mind.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
That's him. Only fans the dance. We'll catch up a
bit later on and find out exactly what's going on.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
With TikTok it's nineteen to wait. Well, may my daughter
of and a what do you call it? Gauge engaged?
She got engaged.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
That's what you call it, Bretan to her man, Wow, Wow,
you're so bad at this. And your daughter got engaged
and you became a grandfather.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
Well may all that happen. But what about your holiday?

Speaker 2 (34:41):
I'll tell you about it next.

Speaker 3 (34:45):
Podcast's own engagement In my family, little baby came into
the world.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
I'm now grandpa. Enough about my holidays?

Speaker 2 (34:52):
What did you do? I for one of the weeks
of the holidays, I went with my sons Liam and
Jack to Toke and I've been traveling to Japan for
over thirty years. I used to go beyond two thousand
and it's one of my favorite places in the world.
And the boys have been there before, but to go
with them as adults now, I saw such a different
side to Tokyo. It was actually I was in tears

(35:15):
before I left. Actually, the morning we went, I bought
a new suitcase and I thought the man in the
shop had shown me how to lock it. And I've
never in my whole life locked a suitcase, so I
thought I'd better lock it, and then half an hour
before I was about to leave the house early in
the morning, I couldn't unlock it. All my things were
in there and I couldn't unlock it, and I was

(35:37):
so fraught I started to cry, as you can imagine,
because I thought, what do I do? Do I send
my bag to Tokyo by a Stanley knife and slice
it open? But they're built so sturdily these days, would
that even work? And Harley was saying, look, they're not
going to let you fly with a suitcase that can't
be opened. Someone at the airport would be able to
help you. And it's a samsunight. And I was trying
to phone the twenty for our helpline and a tsa

(36:01):
lock on it that only an airport can unlock. Well
that's what I read at twenty four helpline didn't quite exist,
and it was so early in the morning that no
one could help me. Finally, on the way to the airport,
I got hold of the Samsonit shop at the airport.
You know when you see those suitcase shops, you think
he goes in here when you're about to fly. That
was me. It was me and a lovely man. I
think his name was Brian. He was so helpful. I said,

(36:25):
I can't unlock my suitcase. And he got a little
implement and he said, have you put the code in
zero zero one? I said no, why would to do that?
And he said, that's exactly what you've put in here.
And I must have, just thinking I hadn't set the
code yet moved its because it's always zero zero zero
when you first get it. Something had happened so fine.
That was before I even left. I had that tension.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
That's why you should have a duffel bag.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
Oh, that's why I should have a lot of things.
That's why I should drink more gin and tonics. But yeah,
I had a great time and everything. I love everything
about Japan and I have for years and years. And
with the kids, as I said, we went bar hopping.
We went to one small little bar just us. It
was an anime bar. It's just us.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
Actually.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
There was an English guy in the corner who was unusual,
and the barman who doesn't give a rats whether you're
there or not. And there was a snake in a
jar of alcohol and we drank shots from that. And
that was early in the evening and the next day, I.

Speaker 4 (37:21):
The d of the even wouldn't think, wouldn't you think?

Speaker 2 (37:25):
And I've become obsessed with the bide I've never really
been into the bid a before the toilet in the hotel,
and Lim and I were discussing this. He and Jack
had a separate room. But when you walked towards it,
it opened up and you'd sit down and the seat
was warm, and then the bid a would kick in

(37:45):
and you had to remind yourself you had to turn
it off because you just could sit there for hours,
right and when I and then it would flush the
minute you step stood up. So I've come home. I
just walk away from the toilet expecting it to be flushed.
But Lim put me off because he said it freaked
him out a little bit. Was like a greedy toilet,
like hungry hungry hippo or cookie monster when just to

(38:06):
consume things. But another great barwie.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
Sounds like an only fancer.

Speaker 2 (38:16):
But you know, I would have gone to the end
of the street just to hang out with the kids.
I would have mean, if they want to hang out
with me, I would have. I don't care where we are,
but it was so great to spend that time with
them as big grown men, and they're so big with
big heads of early hair. They sort of head above everybody,
so I could find them anywhere.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
It was just brilliant and the love because they're on
your dime.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
Of course, of course, mum's opening the wallet and the toilet.

Speaker 3 (38:40):
Who wants some snake drinks? We know English guy in
the corner, so.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
Good, put on your dance and shoes.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
Don't give me your best shot. Nice to see her again.
Emma Leslie from The Daily Oz is here. M.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
When we went on holidays there was drama with Blake
Livery and Justin Baldoni and what's happened now, Well, it.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
Seems to me I'm not m funnily enough i am.
It seems to me that the pendulum has swung back
and forth as to who's saying what about whom? And
I'm very confused.

Speaker 15 (39:18):
Yeah, I mean the whole world is confused. Let's just
get that clear from the get go. But I'm going
to take you through it in as simple terms as possible.
You might remember last year we chatted about a movie
called It Ends with Us starring Blake Lively and this
guy Justin Baldoni, was a film based on a best
selling book by the same name by Colleen Hoover about
a woman's story of kind of being in and leaving

(39:41):
an abusive relationship. It was centered around this DV story. Anyway,
during the press tour for that movie, there was all
this speculation that emerged because the two biggest stars of
the movie, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, were not seen
doing any interviews together. They weren't doing any red carpets together.
Highly unusual for a big Hollywood movie for its two
stars to not be doing any of the promotion together.

(40:03):
So then the internet did its thing and all this
slew thing went on and we realized or uncovered this
kind of feud between the two stars.

Speaker 4 (40:12):
It was a bit of he said, she said.

Speaker 15 (40:13):
There was what seemed to be a bit of a
smear campaign mounting against Blake Lively these old interviews, so
first of her being mean to journalists, and it was
kind of the first time that we'd seen this sort
of negative press about Blake Lively.

Speaker 4 (40:28):
She's married to the actor Ryan Reynolds.

Speaker 15 (40:30):
There was also some speculation about his role in the movie. Anyway,
we thought it all went away, and then in December
it reared its head and we started getting lawsuits. Blake
Lively filed a lawsuit, initially in December, a complaint in California,
and that came with this New York Times piece, a
very very long article detailing these allegations of sexual harassment,

(40:55):
unsafe workplace in misconduct, misconduct by Justin Baldoni.

Speaker 4 (40:59):
He's the guy in the film. He also directed the film.

Speaker 15 (41:02):
He also owns the production company that made the film.
So this complaint alleges that Baldoni was inappropriate on set.
Things like he walked into Blake Lively's trailer unannounced while
she was breastfeeding, That he constantly spoke about his porn
addiction on set in a way that made people on
set uncomfortable, That he tried to add sex scenes to

(41:24):
the script that unnecessary, some weird stuff about intimacy coordinators,
and all in all kind of this idea that he
made people feel unsafe on set, and also that him
and his PR firm had mounted a smear campaign against
Blake Lively that was unfair on social media, kind of
using bots and was disproportionately swayed against her. Then we

(41:44):
get a new lawsuit from Baldoni against the New York
Times alleging vible defamation journalistic misconduct. They claimed that The
New York Times had not done its proper journalistic processes.
But we didn't have a lawsuit then against Blake Lively
from Justin Baldoni. His lawyers promised that he would sue

(42:04):
Blake Lively into oblivion, And then last week we got
a lawsuit from Baldoni against Blake Lively, suing her for
four hundred million dollars denying all of these allegations. So
I guess that's what oblivion is. Around six hundred and
sixty Australian million.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
For example, he's got texts saying where she said, let's
work on the script, I'm breastfeeding, come to my trailer,
that kind of stuff.

Speaker 15 (42:28):
Yes, so there's a lot of gray now where we're
not sure who said what. Everyone sort of flip flops
between whose side they're on in this situation. During the campaigning, sorry,
the promotion of the movie, there was a lot of
criticism at Blake Lively that she wasn't talking about domestic violence,
she wasn't talking about the themes of the movie. She
was instead launching a haircare line. She was instead encouraging

(42:49):
people to wear florals to their screenings of the movie.
But it's now emerged allegedly that the cast were told
they were not to center domestic violence around the promotion
of the movie, that they weren't meant to talk about it.
Justin Balzoni during the promotion only spoke about it, and
he kind of emerged as this sort of hero figure
that he's a guy who's not afraid to talk about

(43:11):
abuse of women, and no one else is talking about it.

Speaker 4 (43:14):
Why aren't they talking about it?

Speaker 15 (43:15):
Blake Lively is suggesting that they were basically gagged from
talking about it.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
Who knows.

Speaker 15 (43:20):
On the other side with Baldoni, he's accused blake Lively
of being over involved in the movie, of using her
kind of celebrity to control the scenes, and she was
involved in writing a scene with her husband Ryan Reynolds
that they tried to step on his toes as a director.
They said that there was never any of this alleged
misconduct on set, that there was an intimacy coordinator.

Speaker 4 (43:41):
It's very very dramatic.

Speaker 15 (43:43):
Also going to play out well, I think it's going
to play out as it is at the moment in
the court of public opinion.

Speaker 4 (43:49):
As we saw with the Johnny.

Speaker 15 (43:51):
Depp and the Herd story, there are a lot of
people with very strong opinions, and ultimately the reputations of
both of these stars have been irre reversibly damaged, in
my opinion, mostly from the reaction. But these are court cases,
civil proceedings, so we're probably going to see this play
out in court.

Speaker 4 (44:09):
It's America.

Speaker 15 (44:10):
Will it be live streamed in the same way that
the Johnny Depp Amber heard stuff was?

Speaker 4 (44:13):
Who knows? Personally?

Speaker 1 (44:15):
I hope so of course you too.

Speaker 15 (44:17):
There is a lot of money on the table, hundreds
of millions of dollars from both sides.

Speaker 2 (44:21):
I guess there's no sequel to that film.

Speaker 15 (44:24):
No, and his production company has the rights to it.
There is a sequel called It Starts with Us, and
it was.

Speaker 4 (44:29):
Going to be made. That was the plan.

Speaker 15 (44:31):
But I can't see Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni ever
working together ever ever again.

Speaker 3 (44:36):
I'll have Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider.

Speaker 1 (44:38):
Yeah, there's a spear campaign in Floral. Thank you.

Speaker 3 (44:46):
M Billespie from the Daily Os.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
Great to see Happy twenty twenty five.

Speaker 2 (44:51):

an answer. Will come back to that question of time permits.
You get all the questions right, you win one thousand
dollars and then.

Speaker 2 (45:16):
We ask you a tricky question, would you like to
double your money? Why it's tricky is because there's a
bonus question, but it's double or nothing.

Speaker 1 (45:23):
Simon is in Campbelltown.

Speaker 2 (45:24):
Hi, Simon, good morning.

Speaker 11 (45:26):
How are you welcome back?

Speaker 2 (45:27):
Thank you? And everyone's a winner today. Every single person
that makes it to where it gets a gold floating
heart pendant thanks to prowds.

Speaker 1 (45:36):
Curious.

Speaker 3 (45:36):
We don't have any of the pendants here, Simon, but
the girls of the type of pool have made one
out of paper for me.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
And I've attached it around the back of my neck
with some chewing gum. Crowds will be thrilled. It looks
like the big locket from Titanic.

Speaker 1 (45:50):
It looks like someone that was doing time has made you.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
A preand but in real life it is absolutely gorgeous.
So congratulations.

Speaker 1 (45:55):
It doesn't do it justice, Simon.

Speaker 2 (45:57):
All right, Simon, we have ten questions, We have sixty seckens,
we often say, just say pass if you're not sure.
We usually have time to come back. Okay, okay, let's go, Simon,
good luck, here we go. Question number one, what's the
station's new name? Question two? What shape is a stop sign?

Speaker 14 (46:16):
Pas?

Speaker 2 (46:17):
Question three? What baby animal is referred to as a kid?

Speaker 9 (46:22):
Human?

Speaker 1 (46:23):
No?

Speaker 2 (46:25):
Where we said animal?

Speaker 1 (46:27):
What baby animal?

Speaker 11 (46:28):
We are animals?

Speaker 2 (46:29):
No, No, we're humans.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
We're human.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
No, it's a goat. A baby goat is a kid.

Speaker 1 (46:35):
You could have said, Susie to Markey, she'd appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
And what shape is a stop sign? It's an octagon, Simon.
But you do get a gorgeous floating halpen not.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
Made of made of paper with chewing gum in the back.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
Yes, so congratulations, take it easy there, mate. Well that's
Instagram done to better. It was a kind of a
smart answer, but it's not the right answer. No, And
that is a metaphor for life. You shared the fabulous
news that last Monday, your son Morgan and his wife

(47:09):
Zoe her little baby boy, and you said, through some
gorgeous photos of this perfect little thing, and there's a
photo of your wife Helen holding the baby, and you said,
it reminds you of when Morgan was a.

Speaker 1 (47:21):
Baby, when I saw that, when I saw her holding
him for the first time.

Speaker 3 (47:25):
I did get to you it because it was at
that point because I just had this almost like a
visceral flashback to your life.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
Does it feel like blink of an eye, Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:34):
It does, it does. But it's you know, it's such
a it'll be a lot.

Speaker 3 (47:39):
And I've heard a lot of people say it's going
to be a great journey and I go, yeah, yeah,
but I get it.

Speaker 1 (47:43):
I get what you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
Be amazed, it'll be great. And how do you feel
moving into the zone. And women often fight this too,
of the word grandpa grandfather as an ageing quality to
it that a lot of women I know sort of
don't necessarily like so they want to be called sassy
or something rather than grandma. What are you going to

(48:05):
be called?

Speaker 1 (48:06):
Don't know.

Speaker 3 (48:07):
I thought it was up to the child a child
starts talking. But my neighbor is stuff.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
Most people talk about when your son or daughter.

Speaker 1 (48:16):
Is a f from my neighbor. Gazz.

Speaker 3 (48:19):
He's all the grandkids call him gazz. That what he wanted, No,
it would just it just happened that way. My grandfather
Jim was par Jim, and then we just call him Jim.
And then there was Granddad, so he just, what are
you going to do? I wouldn't mind some sort of
ethnic one. I wish I was a bit more like
I'm just too boring angel boringly white. There was absolutely

(48:42):
no no. I want to be Papoo like Jim. My
other neighbor, he's Greek, so he gets pa Poo. So
I yell at and he says.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
Don't call me pap you could just go with pooh.

Speaker 3 (48:53):
I wouldn't mind being papoo if I could, like, you know,
I get a bit of yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
So you get to choose. I think I had. I
had a grandpa Keller and a grandpa called her who
was mom's dad, right, and they they sound like formal
They weren't formal people, but they were both grandpa yeah.
So you know sometimes like Jacinda, executive producer, was saying
that one of her grandfathers was called Grandpa Yabby, not

(49:17):
because he went yabbying, but apparently always drove off the
road and ended up in a ditch. She was always
in a ditch.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
It's what you what you so you think.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
You might end up being I'll be Grandpapa, but you
end up being called Grandpa.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
Yabby, Grandpa bum nuts.

Speaker 2 (49:35):
Yeah, that's right, that could happen, Grandpa poo.

Speaker 1 (49:37):
This is what I wanted.

Speaker 2 (49:38):
Well, the child drum is going to beat for this.
I thought i'd be Grandpapa. Instead, I'm called dot dot
give us a call.

Speaker 1 (49:46):
Thirteen WSA Family's their number.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
Nine.

Speaker 1 (49:50):
That's what I want to beat. Was under four number.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
It's the same phone number we've always had, thirteen ninety
seven thirty six. It's the same.

Speaker 3 (50:00):
It's probably not a sassy we could have got like
but then you'd have to change all the numbers, wouldn't you.

Speaker 2 (50:04):
The number is thirteen ninety seven thirty six, the same
number of alays.

Speaker 1 (50:07):
As I said this morning, same same with a new
name podcast. Not a beautiful day.

Speaker 2 (50:14):
And a beautiful day to share the news that you
are now a grandpa, little boy. It's just such an
amazing thing. I've known you for so long and here
you are a grandfather and.

Speaker 1 (50:24):
I don't want to be Grandpa bum bumhead. As much
as you want to try and.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
Do that, well, the thing is, you don't always get
the name you want. Yeah, As as I said earlier,
Executive producer Jacinda. She has a grandpa Yabby because he's
always driving off the road leaning up and I'm dip.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
Don't put the kids in grandpa's car.

Speaker 2 (50:42):
Yeah, but don't put the kids in charge of his
name either. So the tribal drama is beating four. I
thought I wanted a posh grandfather name, but instead I
got dot dot dot.

Speaker 1 (50:53):
Karen has trained. Hello, Karen, Hi, JAMESI, how are you?

Speaker 10 (50:58):

Speaker 1 (51:21):
So you are you're dictating this or has it happened?

Speaker 10 (51:26):
No, the child is too little yet, but so you're
going to so you kind.

Speaker 2 (51:30):
Of get to choose, Brenda, Like my friend is just
saying to the little one, you say, but the families
decide you're going to be Nana Napp. And my friend
Anita became a grandmother and they decided that they didn't
go with it, but they're toying with Granita.

Speaker 13 (51:46):
I love.

Speaker 2 (51:47):
That's a good one, isn't that great? So you choose,
you choose who you want to be. So you've got
to give it some thought.

Speaker 3 (51:52):
Remember Millie, one of the ladies that worked here, as
she went on, had a baby.

Speaker 1 (51:55):
That's what they seem to do around. All the women
here have babies. Nothing to do with me.

Speaker 3 (51:59):
But I was saying to the little her little baby
and her tummy, and she'd called me the mean man,
so that little kids.

Speaker 2 (52:07):

Speaker 9 (52:25):
Yes, I am of two young children, three and one,
and they're definitely the next next phase of your life.

Speaker 11 (52:31):
So I always thought that I would be way too young.

Speaker 14 (52:33):
To be your grandfather, even my wife tells me I'm not.

Speaker 11 (52:37):
However, it is.

Speaker 9 (52:38):
Something I think we did think about because a lot
of times you have two grand two sets of grandparents.

Speaker 2 (52:42):
You don't have the same name. Yeah, so I thought, granddude,
and is that what you were?

Speaker 1 (52:48):
Yes, grand granddude.

Speaker 11 (52:52):
Made it gay with that, Jasie.

Speaker 1 (52:54):
Did you buy the cup?

Speaker 11 (52:56):
No, I was not given to be by my daughter.
The mother of the two children, was very surprise.

Speaker 1 (53:01):

or the grandma name.

Speaker 13 (53:31):
Okay, well, it's not actually me. It's my niece's mother
in law and they really wanted she really wanted to
be called granny, but their little son couldn't quite manage it,
so she he called her Gary, and so that's how
she's generally known.

Speaker 11 (53:48):
Now, wow, wow, it's very cute.

Speaker 2 (53:55):
It's cute, but she'll be known by that forever, the
grand and she'll be Gary Gary Gary. Oh that's excellent.

Speaker 1 (54:03):
This is all good.

this is it's a public that everyone in the media
kind of knows pretty much, or they should know. So
for people who aren't initiated or in the media, we
talk about all the movers and shakers in the media.
We give all the insights to the media industry. It's great.

(55:15):
I'm so happy and so excited to go, but it's
so bittersweet because I love I love working with you.

Well there so.

Speaker 2 (55:39):

You guys are extraordinary though. You are the best bosses

Yes, well he's been elevated. Ryan. You left us last year.

Speaker 9 (56:12):
Okay, Well, Tash, it's a shame that you've got a

plenty of room at the development and foundations training part
of the company.

Speaker 2 (56:21):
Daft Oh the is daft department. Yeah, yeah, you're daft vader.

you're talking about anyway, Tash, you look after yourself. Thank
thanks and thanks for being with us.

Speaker 2 (56:35):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (56:36):
In the meantime, a lot happened while I was on holidays.
My daughter got engaged. My son had a child, or
he didn't, but his wife had.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
A child, baby boy. You are now a grandpa, so
the tribal drum is beating for I thought as a grandparent,
I'd be called something lamb. Instead I got dot dosh.

Speaker 1 (56:52):
That's what I want to do me. That's some good
ones as far Liz has joined us.

Speaker 2 (56:59):
Liz, Hello, Liz, Good morning Liz. Like everyone who makes
it to you today, you were getting a gold floating
heart pendent crowd. What's your grandma name?

Speaker 14 (57:11):
Well, to start with, when my granddaughter's first granddaughter was born,
there was already two nannas, so my daughter wanted to
take her time.

Speaker 8 (57:22):
To decide on what names we would have. The other
grandma had gray hair and drove a silver car, so
she became gray Grandma. I had dark hair and black car,
so I became black Grandma.

Speaker 2 (57:40):
That must be confusing for some.

Speaker 14 (57:44):
Well, we went out shopping and my girda, my granddaughter
last sight of.

Speaker 8 (57:48):
Me, and she screamed out great grandma. So we decided
I needed a new name, so I became Teama.

Speaker 1 (57:59):
Teama.

Speaker 2 (58:00):
Well, I also feel sorry for the when we've got
great grandma. That's not fair eye like grandma.

Speaker 1 (58:04):
Because of my car, all right, talking about I'm your
black grandma.

Speaker 2 (58:08):
Thank you, Liz chancy Amena Sham no podcast. Well, TikTok
officially went dark for over one hundred and seventy million
American users, with subscribers threatening to jump ship to a different,
possibly sketchy, a Chinese owned platform at the last minute,
though it appears the app may have been restored. I
think thanks to Donald Trump. It's very confusing. Meg Coffee

(58:30):
is a social media expert, and she's going to explain
what the hell is going on?

Speaker 11 (58:34):
Meg, Hello, good morning. What a mess this ale is,
isn't it.

Speaker 2 (58:39):
Do we have TikTok or not in the States at
the moment?

Speaker 11 (58:42):
Well, you know, because of the savior, Donald Trump, it
is back, or at least it appears to be back
for a little while. But who really knows. It's all
one big propaganda machine. If you asked me over the
past twelve hours.

Speaker 2 (58:55):
Well, traditionally, I mean initially, wasn't it that Trump wasn't
trustful of it and neither was Joe Biden, which is
what has led to this that it was giving the
Chinese too much information about people? Is that the problem? Well?

Speaker 12 (59:09):
Correct.

Speaker 11 (59:09):
So back in twenty twenty, it was Donald Trump, of
all people, that raised the band, that raised the idea
of a band and said, look, it's China owned. We
can't have that. They're stealing all of our data and
so China, we've got to do something about this. And
then it passed on to Biden, and then Biden did
pass along that said look, TikTok, you guys can't run.
It didn't say you have to go dark. They just

(59:32):
said that you can't be updating things. TikTok chose to
remove itself completely, and it was really fascinating to watch
the sort of the announcements or the pop ups that
came into TikTok yesterday as they were shutting it down.
You know, the very first announcement was we're shutting down,
and then the second one was we're shutting down, but
we think Trump will favor And.

Speaker 1 (59:51):
How much is TikTok worth?

Speaker 3 (59:53):
Like saw if X is worth forty billion dollars, what's
TikTok worth?

Speaker 11 (59:58):
You know, that's that's the billion a questions. Some people
are putting it at about fifty billion five zero. So
you know, it's definitely worth something. It's the algorithm. It's
the fact that they've figured out how to entertain everyone
and just keep them on the platform.

Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
That's so valuable, and a whole lot of women. It's
easy to make fun of influences, but this is a
way of earning a living for so many people. This
must be a huge deal if TikTok goes.

Speaker 11 (01:00:24):
Yeah, look, a lot of the Americans were really worried
about that because TikTok is their main source of income,
you know, and you see both sides. You are, you
are disappointed that they have lost it. But you know,
anyone that is be in marketing or business for a
long time since you've got to diversify things in any camp,
put all your eggs and on basket. So if you
were only on TikTok, maybe that wasn't great. But that's
another conversation.

Speaker 12 (01:00:44):
You know.

Speaker 11 (01:00:44):
Yeah, there's a lot of Americans that were all of
a sudden really freaking out and going, is my entire
income stream gone?

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
And so do you think Donald Trump will be the
savior here and say hey, I save TikTok?

Speaker 11 (01:00:55):
Of course he will. That's the whole m o going here.
You know that the pop up wouldn't have changed the
way that it did. The announcers that are coming out
the way that he sent me his trust social whatever
tweet that they're called, you know, saved TikTok. It's all
I'm a skeptic on this one. I have my tinfoil
hat on. But it's all sudden to make him look good.
