¶ Elle Macpherson, Bizarre Games, Celebrity Compliments
Carrie Bickmore and Tommy Little. This is Carrie and Tommy. Yes, welcome to it for your Tuesday afternoon. How are we going? Did you ever play that game? Sorry, I was just on Instagram and I saw a fun game we should all play, but that reminded me of games. So we used to have at-home birthday parties growing up. We never, not like our kids now where they have them all at play centres and stuff. We'd always have them in the backyard and my mum would have all the games.
and one of them would involve us tying string around our waist and then the string would hang down with a cork at the bottom and then she'd put candles underneath us all and you'd have to... I'll swing the cork. You'd have to squat down into a bucket of water and then you'd have to squat down and with the cork try and put out the candle.
Really getting a squat workout going on. And then we do the one where you have to get the apple with not using your hands. You had to bob for apples. But I've just seen this fun going. I already know what it's going to be. Is it the one where the sausage is attached to the string?
and you thrust yourself up, and then the sausage on the string flies up, and you've got to catch it in your mouth. Are we having a hen's day? Suck a snag. Is that what it's called? That's what we can call it. Yeah, suck a snag. Let's all suck a snag, guys. We've got... No? Oh, come on. Georgia's not into that. Is Carrie about to be done for sexual harassment?
For the second time. But you'll be fed. That's lunch coming, though. You'll be fed. It's the worst excuse. What? Hey, what's coming up on the show, Carrie? We have, oh, we've got Ursula Carlson coming up. Yes. That's always fun. An incredible brain cancer breakthrough to bring to you a bit later. But up next, we've got to talk about something that happened. With the body.
Elle Macpherson was leaving our studio yesterday. She made a comment about someone on our team. It was one of the stranger moments I've had post-interview, and I think we should talk about it next. Very nice. Yeah, it was. Very nice. Carrie and Tommy. For your Tuesday, Arvo, it's Carrie Bickmore and Tommy Little. So we had the fabulous Elle McPherson. I couldn't say it to her yesterday as well. Why can't I say Elle McPherson's name?
Well done. The body. Yes. Who was so much more than the body. She was the mind. She was the spirit. She was so spiritual. Very spiritual. Very spiritual. She spoke to us about her cancer diagnosis, sobriety. She told us brilliant stories from her days in the 90s, modelling with Whitney Houston. If you didn't catch it, listen to it. Catch it on the listener app.
listen to our podcast. She was brilliant. She was so brilliant. Walking off set and getting on Billy Joel's private plane. I know. And then she lived with Billy Joel for a while. So many stories, but it was what happened off air that once she left, we could start talking about.
So this has only ever happened a couple of times. It once happened after we finished a Coldplay interview with Chris Martin. He started talking to one of our producers and that was very memorable for lots of different reasons. But this time, as she went to leave, She looked at Jessie, our anchor here, and she said to Jessie, oh, I couldn't get a read on you during that interview. And we were like, oh, what's happening here?
And it wasn't like in a flirty way or anything. She was just saying, I couldn't get a read on you. And then she said, I couldn't work out what your face was doing. That's his face. She said she was trying to get eye contact with you because you do sit in a separate spot right in her eye line. But we were asking the questions, not you. And what I think has happened is she was expecting you to ask some questions and then you weren't asking questions. And so then she's.
working out whether you liked or didn't like her. I don't, I think that's what was going on. If she thought you would. going to ask questions, it would be a little weird that then you didn't ask the question. So then she asked you, she did ask you something and you came up with a very good question off the cuff. Well, she was very good at talking about all the different opportunities that she got outside of modelling.
But we talked to her for a bit and she did have to go. Yeah. So then you asked her about, was there, what would you say, her favourite opportunity in modelling? I don't know. You were very good. Can we get to the meat in this sandwich? Yes. Which is? Then she said. Yes. You were very beautiful. And there's nothing. I wish there was a but. I wish there was a clarifying, you know, foray. But no, it wasn't you're beautiful for someone on radio. It was just a supermodel.
looking you in the eyes and saying you're very beautiful. I think it was pictures. I think it was because she said I couldn't work out what your face was doing. I think she then had to say you're very beautiful. Can we get him in? Our ethnic correspondent, Eli. I feel like Eli thinks there's a rub here that is not. You think it was.
disingenuous. I thought that because she was initially speaking about his face and not being able to get a read on it, I think that she might have self-analyzed that as, oh no, he might be thinking I'm attacking his appearance. Which is why. She's overcompensated. Oh, Eli, don't take this from me. This is my peak. Do you think she's gone, oh, I accidentally called his face munted. Yes. So I better say, you're beautiful. Yes, yes, yes. But he is a beautiful man. And then she.
It's not the same from Eli. It's a real step down from Elmer. I mean, it's pretty incredible to go through life and have one of the greatest supermodels of all time say to you, you're very beautiful. was the first thing that I told my partner, Kaz, when I got home. And she was like, no, she didn't.
Did she not believe you? She just didn't buy her. Has it absolutely happened? We're not sure of the circumstances surrounding it or the motivation for the comment. But Elle Macpherson said, you are a very beautiful, no, just you are very beautiful. Why did you have to look down at your notes first? I think because I could remember it was a very beautiful person. Oh, man. Elmer first in which he said, check notes. You are a very beautiful. No, it wasn't that. I mean, how many different beautiful.
What beautiful notes do you have there? That's quite specific. Anyway, we want to hear from people that have been complimented by a celebrity before. Yes. Dice Fire Celebrity. The Compliments Edition. That was pretty good. Oh, thank you. Did a celebrity call you beautiful? 131060. Checks notes again. That's what it is. 131060. Celebrity compliments. Call us. Gary and Tommy.
¶ Taylor Swift: Fan Meet-Up & Security Secrets
Carrie and Tommy driving you home for your Tuesday afternoon. And inside the next 10 minutes, you're going to find out what song you're listening out for today for 50K Vacay. But right now on 131060, we're doing this. That was pretty good. Oh, thank you. Yeah, we had Elle Macpherson. the body in yesterday. And the interview finished and just before she left, she casually turned to anchor Jessie there and said, you are very beautiful. Did you check your notes for that one?
What a compliment to get from Elle McPherson. Yeah. You are a beautiful man. Oh, two for two. Two days in a row, guys. That's another celebrity. Yeah, I know. I'm on fire. Do you know, if you had to describe, Jessie, beautiful is a term you'd use. Do you know what I mean? Don't answer. That wouldn't be my first. What would you say? I'd say handsome. Would you? Thank you. Guys, this is three for three. I know.
I think I'm going to stop there. Chris. Damn it. Chris, did a celebrity compliment you? Not me. It was my daughter. Who was the celebrity? Taylor Swift. What? Yeah. Oh, my God, how? She was performing in Brisbane. My daughter was 11. I knew she'd be staying at the Stamford Plaza. So I booked us a room. We arrived. Stalker. Right?
But I always stay at the Stanford one. Oh, sure, sure. Yes, of course. And when we arrived, she said, oh, my God, that's the band. And I went, oh, really? And security guys saw us and said, are you here to meet? Taylor's upstairs. I'll just ring through and get her down. What? What? Yeah. How? Why? Well, she was going.
eventually to get in the van but he rang ahead and said there's someone down here for you to meet did he think that you was like it was a pre-organized meet and greet or something Well, no. Well, no, the look on my daughter's face, I think, when she saw the band was enough for him. And he was like, no, okay, I'll go ring up and get her. He's been five for sure. Taylor's like, oh, great. Hangs up the phone. Can he stop ringing me? And then her mother took her number. actually said we'll bring you
upstage, you know, next to it. But there was no phone reception in the entertainment centre, so we missed the call. Oh, hold on, hold on, because I've heard this before. Her mum often goes round to the very, very back, the back, back, back seats.
and grabs the biggest Taylor fans that couldn't get seats except for the back row, like kids, and she brings them right down the front. It's like her mum's like a talent scout for fans. So I have heard that. But the fact that she calls you mid-concert and your phone doesn't get reception is...
It's heartbreaking. I know, I know. Chris, did you have a missed call then? No, because there was not even any frequent reception in the bloody place, so no. But she saw it afterwards. She gave a guitar pick. Her mother told me. all about the security and why she wears tags she does. Which is what? What do you mean? Well, she wears a picture of herself that's security as a child because no one would probably have that to forge it to get in through security. The mother wears...
No, all the, everybody, everybody that's got to go backstage, they all have this picture of her as a child. Taylor Swift as a child. Yeah. Oh, that's not in the public domain. No. So the mother told me all about that and really showed me it. Oh, my God. Her mum's really.
Really stitched up Taylor, yeah, didn't she? But was she lovely to your daughter when your daughter met Taylor? Yeah, she was beautiful. She was beautiful. Hugged her, signed a guitar, did everything for us. So, yeah. And then at the end saw her and gave a guitar pick.
and we gave her some koalas and chocolates and, yeah, it was a great time. Chris, it sounds lovely not to be a stickler for, because it's been a fantastic call and we've learnt a lot and we do really appreciate it, but did she compliment your daughter? Oh, yes, yes. Aren't you? You're beautiful, aren't you? Sweet. Yes, I'll sign that for you. You're gorgeous. Tick, tick. You've done it.
¶ Ali and Cooper Compliments
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Your mum's a stalk at the table. Good on you, Chris. What about you, Kate? Gosh, that is a hard story to top. A compliment from Taylor Swift. What have you got for us, Kate? I have... Hi, guys, first of all. Hi. Muhammad Ali told me that I should be a movie star. Oh, my God. I can't believe it, but I think we've topped it. Oh, my God. How? Where? When? So it would have been about 20 years ago. I can't remember exactly when. And I managed to get into his hotel room.
Okay, these are just tales of stalkers. Whatever they are, I'm for it. How did you get into his hotel room? So my dad was asked to kind of look after him when he came to Australia. Oh, this would have been – was this around the Olympics time? Because he was – No, it was at the – he went around the MCG at the grand final. Oh. And then you snuck in the hotel room? I didn't sneak in, though. I was taken through.
I'd had a big night the night before. I walked in. I was 24, skinny, blonde, sunglasses on with my big night. And I walked in. He was sitting there in the corner. I just was in absolute awe. Oh, my God. And I walked over to say hello, and he stood up and said, oh, my God, you should be a movie star. Oh, wow. Kate.
Do you think it's wonderful? And what a fantastic moment to have one of the greatest athletes of all time. Did it feel like it was the first time he'd said that to a pretty young lady? Probably not. I'm not sure. I was glad that he said it to me. It's fantastic. But, I mean, are you taking that away from, like, Taylor Swift must say all the time, oh, you're gorgeous. No.
I mean, it's not like Elle yesterday, though. Elle's never said you are beautiful for anyone other than Jessie. Did you check your notes again? Tara. Tara, what celebrity gave you a compliment? Bradley Cooper told me I was good at my job. What's your job, Tara? I don't do it anymore. I was working on a yacht in Vancouver. And Zach Galifianakis, whatever his name is, he had his wedding after party on the yacht.
So obviously there was tons of celebrities there. Bradley Cooper touched my back and said, you're very good at your job and now I don't want a drink because apparently he was sober. Okay, hold on. Wow. Were you good at your job, Tara? I guess so. Were you just handing around drinks or?
Yeah, yeah. That's why I was walking around offering people drinks. I'm just trying to work out how good at your job you are, Tara. Is he sober because he's a reformed alcoholic or is he just choosing not to drink? This was like 10 years ago. But yeah, I think he was like... not like not drinking alcohol anymore or something. Yeah. I guess if your business like Tara's is getting, you've got to get them back on that bandwagon. Tara, you're very good at your job.
Yeah. Whose compliment would you want here? Would you want the Bradley Cooper? Would you want you good at your job? You were very beautiful. Do I want Bradley Cooper touching me in the small of my back and saying you're very good at your job? Take that. I know you would. Carrie and Tommy. The Tuesday, Arvo, it is Carrie Bickmore.
¶ Groundbreaking Brain Cancer Treatment Discovery
and Tommy Little, the Winter of Sports giveaway is on now at Coles with 15,000 winners every week. Head to coles.com.au to find out more. Up next, no. Up next, no. Up next, yes. Up next, yes. There has been a major cancer breakthrough. We will bring it to you up next.
Driving you home this afternoon, it is Carrie Bickmore and Tommy Little. It's rare that you hear about brain cancer treatment breakthroughs because the treatments involved in treating brain cancer haven't changed in a very long time. Brain cancer rates haven't changed in 30 years. number of people dying from this horrendous disease. So when you see that there has been a treatment, my eyes just light up and my brain explodes with the possibility. And when I hear that one of those...
Treatment options has been possibly discovered with the help of the Brain Cancer Centre, which is funded by Carrie's Beanies for Brain Cancer at the Walter and Eliza Institute. It makes my heart swell even more. The head of research there, Dr Misty Jenkins, AO, joins us on the line. now. Misty, this is so bloody exciting. Oh my God, it is so exciting. Tell us in layman terms what it all means.
Exactly. So in layman terms, we all have an immune system, right? Otherwise it would be the boy living in the bubble where our bodies are attacked all the time by wayward invaders and our immune cells that keep us safe from... disease and infection can also be trained and engineered and tailored in the fight against brain cancer and so that's what we've done with this discovery is that we've taken immune cells called t-cells these white blood cells that zoom around the body
We've engineered them to recognise, attack and destroy the brain cancer and it's worked beautifully. Misty. I mean, this always sounds so exciting, but then I often, and I've heard you talk about this breakthrough, it was front page of the paper, which was very exciting as well. But then you, you always kind of pare it back and say, you know, there's hope.
on the horizon. But this sounds like a massive step forward, is it? Or am I being an idiot? It's a huge step forward because brain cancer is so difficult to treat. And this is why they're... We know that radiation and chemo and these sort of blunt instruments don't work. And the power of taking this kind of new personalized cell therapy approach is that we can now design therapies that can kill the brain.
cancer cells but leave all of your healthy brain cells and your neurons unharmed and untouched and not being pummeled with radiation and so I think you know this is This is the breakthrough is that kind of, you know, using the power of precision medicine to differentiate between a cancerous and a healthy cell. And that's what immunotherapy has the power to achieve. So it's a really new treatment paradigm for the way we think about and treat cancer.
So you've tried this on mice, and from what I have read, it not only worked the first time, it recognised the cancer when you gave the mice the cancer again. So it's doubly brilliant. Wow. How long before this could be something we see actually through to a clinical trial and with proper patients on it, just not mice? Yeah, the big hit power of this approach was exactly that, Carrie.
Like not only was it amazing that they completely cured, the mice were completely cured, eating their rice bubbles and being very happy and very healthy. But then when they got cancer again, their memory T cells were able to...
cure them all over again. So that was just amazing to see. It gave me goosebumps. You know, like when you see a result where the hair on your arms just stands up, I've got that feeling, that little tingle. And that's, you know, you go for years waiting to see a discovery like that.
And so I think now the next step is, right, let's plan the clinical trial. So here at the Brain Cancer Centre and with my wonderful colleagues like Jim Whittle and Kate Drummond at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, we've... writing the clinical trial protocol and applying for funding so that we can translate this into humans.
Can you tell me a bit about the team that it's not just you, you're the head of the research centre there, the research team. Who was involved in this? How many people does it take for people that have no sense of what it would take? How many researchers does it take to get a breakthrough like that?
Science is a team sport. None of us do any of our work in isolation. And so, you know, whilst I'm co-director with my colleague Jim Whittle at the Brain Cancer Centre, directors of research strategy, this is done out of my lab. in the immunology division, co-led by a PhD student, Lisa, co-led by Ryan Cross, a talented postdoc in my lab, and really working very closely with our clinical colleagues at Royal Melbourne Hospital.
And so with Kate Drummond and the team there for samples and across the Royal Children's Hospital as well, this is actually a therapy that... that we believe is beneficial for adults and children. We actually treated pediatric cancers as well. So that's the exciting thing here as well is that we want this clinical trial to be really... innovative and across the age spectrum. I mean, what we've built at the Brain Cancer Centre is so phenomenal and...
You know, you should be so proud of it. It's multidisciplinary working together in these big teams and sharing everything. And I think the proof is in the pudding. You know, it's already having an incredible impact. Misty, if... Are cancer cells the same over different types of cancer? Like if this can attack brain cancer cells, have you also unlocked the code to attack other types of cancer cells or are they completely different?
They are and sometimes they aren't, Tommy. So basically the red flags we can recognise on brain tumour cells, some of those are also applicable in other cancers as well. mapping the surface of these brains over the last few years with support from Carrie's Venus for brain cancer. We've been able to do that. And now we've got a range of new targets that we can also start to combine. And while some of those are really exciting for brain cancer and will lead to new therapies...
There are some of those that will also help other solid cancers like breast, lung and colon cancer as well. So I think what we're doing, the impact that we can have will also extend beyond helping brain cancer patients for other patients as well. How wonderful. Misty, you are a rock star. Incredible work you were doing there. Thank you so much for sharing the exciting news with us today. And, yeah, we'll let you get back to saving the world. Thank you.
¶ Gym Class Partnering Mishaps & Giveaways
Carrie and Tommy. Yeah, that is where you're at for your Tuesday afternoon. Still to come, the Sarvo, you could win yourself a $50,000 vacay. The song you're listening out for is Justin Diva's Despacito. Here's a thought. Do you think, so I went to a new gym this morning. I had to partner up with someone I don't know. I don't know if I want to partner up with randoms at the gym. You've got to take a friend, Carrie.
I know, but I didn't have a friend. You've got to get a friend. Who can organize every time they go to the gym to gym with a friend? If I go to a gym class, I just want to follow the instructions. I don't want to have to get to know someone. Nah, it's fun. Meet people. That's what doing a class is about. I don't want to lay in the sweat after you've laid in it. I don't want to. I just don't.
I think I want you in my life random at the gym. What was it called? Was it Couples Pilates? Couples Pilates? Yeah. No, it was one of those ones where you do like a HIIT type thing. You do cardio and weights. And at one point I had to say. spot for a guy as he was doing. You spotted for a guy. Chest presses.
He's spotting his barbell. I don't know how to spot for somebody chest pressing. Oh, you're not straddling over the bench. I shouldn't have that responsibility. Also, in those classes, you're not meant to be trying to do what you max bench. No, you are in this bit. You're meant to try to get to reach.
Have you started bodybuilding? I don't think so. What class are you going to? I told you, it's one of those ones where it's a combo thing. And you're doing bench press. I've got this new thing called Class Pass. Have you heard of ClassPass? Where then you just get credits and you can go to anywhere that's got a random class available. And so I've been really mixing it up. Have you?
But the one I was at this morning, I'm standing over a guy who was doing this. That's what I mean. Sorry, mate, I don't know how to spot you, so I'm just going to stand over the top. The guy said, just be ready to catch if, you know, they struggle. And I'm like, what do you mean?
I can't catch that. How much weight was it? If that guy's struggling, I'm not the one that should be helping him. That guy's going to have a barbell right on his face if I'm anything to do with this. I can't be responsible. And then what happened if I didn't spot him right? Is that my fault? No, I don't think you should. I just went to do my work out. I don't want to be responsible for someone's life. But you went to do a cast carry.
Yeah, a class is not a partner situation. But I think maybe you should just accept that there are other people that exist in this world and sometimes they want to work out with you. Do you think I should have been responsible for spotting for a man chest pressing? That seems wrong to be honest. It does, doesn't it?
Yes, and if you would like a vacay anywhere in the world with business class flights, we're going to casually give one away. How long is the song? I'm not going to tell you when. But what is the song? It is Justin Bieber's Despacito. And that's the last time I'm going to tell you today. Despacito. That's right. Speaking of dad. Yes. Mum and dad have been doing something, not my mum and dad, just a mum and dad. That is, it's a new trend.
¶ The 'Honey Money Jar' & Partner Bribes
Couples and bickers. Is it saucy or is it like domesticated stuff? It's a little bit of both. And I can't believe this, but I'm aghast. Oh. I think it is the downfall of humanity. Anyway, it's next. Carrie and Tommy. Carrie and Tommy. New Tuesday, I've got to Carrie Bickmore and Tommy. I was going to say Ursula Carlson is coming up very soon. Ooh, one of the best. Bickers. Yes, talk to me. I'm really aghast.
Talk dirty to me. Talk to me. Why didn't you say talk to me? Okay. Do not talk dirty to Carrie. Just talk to her. Just talk to me. Yeah, talk to me. Look me in the eyes and talk to me. Do you know the Kelly Mack show? No, I've never heard of the Kelly Mack show. It's a radio show in North Carolina. And they put up a Facebook post revealing of what a couple have been doing. They've been saving their funds using a...
Honey money jar. Honey money jar. Now, honey money sounds delightful. Honey is quite expensive. Especially if you get that manuka stuff. Oh, my God. I know. Just get the syrup. Need another job for manuka. Just get the syrup. What's that? Is it like it? Yeah, the one that comes. Is it like when you get the fake maple syrup? Oh, like in the little bear. Yeah, yeah. Is that like fake manuka? It's just a bit of honey and then I assume water or something.
Manuka honey is meant to be very medicinal. Yeah, I remember they put it in my eyes. What? Why? I put it in my eyes because I was over... I had a water fight at an elephant sanctuary. That's right. You got an infected eye. I did. You put honey in it and made it better. No, it stung like nothing you've ever felt in your life. And I listened to my best friend me scream for about five minutes with this pure honey in our eyes. And then he said, that didn't work. You have to go to hospital.
Well, it turns out I had pebbles and traces of elephant feces in my eye. And honey. So honey money is nothing to do with actual honey? No. What's it to do with? So it was a couple and they've put in this honey money jar in their house, right? And it was because the wife, she was complaining that her...
her repetitive birthday trips that they would go on were cheap and unimaginative. Oh, that's disappointing. Where were they going? Did I get that word out all right? Unimaginative. It's a big word for you. Unimaginative. Unimaginative. Imaginative. Unimaginative. Unimaginative. Why are you saying it like that? Say imaginative. Imaginative. And then say unimaginative. Unimaginative. But just, yep.
Anyway, let's not bulk down. So the husband created an incentive, the honey money jar. Each time she gives me some action, I put $20 in the jar. What? And when we get to a month before her birthday. Who used the money for her trip. Oh, my God. So her trip's based on how much she puts out. That's insane. I told you it was a downfall of humanity. Go on a holiday with someone else, woman. Not that, man. Oh, my God.
How much money's in the honey money jar? Where did they go? They haven't been on holiday yet, I bet. No, they haven't been on holiday yet. Someone commented and said they're not in a relationship, they're business partners. Surely business partners, you're both getting something out of it. What's she getting out of it? A holiday with that man. That's what she gets at the end of that.
Carrie, I was already outraged at the start of this. I'm outraged. Yeah, yeah. Very outraged. But I thought it would be fun to do calls on what do you bribe your partner for? Because obviously we're both aghast at the honey money jar.
It's a fun thing to say, though, isn't it? The Honey Money Jar. We don't like what it's for, but it is fun. Honey Money Jar. What's that? Is that Honey Money? Oh, you've got a Honey Money Jar? Get your sticky hands off our Honey Money, honey. That's funny. That's funny, honey. 13, 10, 60. What do you want? What do you bribe your partner for? I reckon there are heaps of, I reckon it comes down to tiny things. Like late night snack.
I was going to say coffees, I reckon, will be up there so much as well. Give us a call, 131060. What do you bribe your partner for? Take your calls next. This is from Carrie's new segment called Talk to Me.
¶ Unique Partner Incentives & Pet Crocs
Talk to me. Talk to me, Isabella. Do you do something similar to honey money where you bribe your partner for something? Well, it's actually the opposite way around. My partner actually bribes me to do something. What is it? He brides me to just leave him alone for a couple of hours over the weekend and just let him do his thing. And he promises that he'll clean the house.
do dinner and do the laundry if I leave him alone. In that quiet time? Oh, yeah. So that's what he does with his quiet time. Yep. Yep, if I just leave him alone. That's a pretty good deal, Isabella. I know, it's pretty good. Isabella, I really thought he'd be down the pub having a punt or something and then do that stuff when he gets back.
No, no, he doesn't really like going out to the pub, to be completely honest. Oh, my God, Isabella, what have you got yourself? So, Isabella, just so I'm clear, so when he... Like has some time and he can cut loose and do whatever he wants. That involves cooking dinner and doing the laundry. Yeah, basically. Oh my God, he's a robot. Why does he need the alone time, Isabella? Are you a lot?
Yeah, to be completely honest, I really am. I very much am. So I completely understand it and it's a win-win. He cleans the house and I just get to sit as well. What makes you a lot, Isabella? I have ADHD, so that probably just puts a spanner in the work. Right. And he's quite quiet and reserved. So I think it's just a lot for him to handle all at once. You also have no incentive to be any less because... The more a lot you are, the more clean laundry and dinners you have.
Pretty good. It's a win-win. I'm really just putting it on at this point. That is wonderful. Good on you. Thanks, Isabella. Give me some space. Okay. Come home. There's a ragu. G'day, Michael. G'day, how are you guys? Yeah, pretty good. What have you got for us? So my wife is in love with Frank Conferta from Rocky Horror Picture Show. She absolutely loves Tim Curry. Yeah.
So a few years ago, there was like a meet and greet online with Tim Curry and it was about $500. So she really, really wanted it. So I'm like, all right, if you get that, then I'll get to get a pet saltwater crocodile. Oh, my God. Whoa. I didn't even know you could. You two are the strangest couple. Hold on. You just have that as a pet, a saltwater crocodile.
Yeah, so I do wildlife demonstrations, so I used to take him out with me to the wildlife demonstrations, sticking business schools and birthday parties. Hey, Michael, can I have a pet saltwater croc, or do you have to have a licence?
If you get yourself an advanced wildlife licence, you can have a saltwater crocodile, but you've also got to have the right enclosure and everything. Obviously, being such a dangerous animal, you want to have some knowledge on how to look after them and their body language.
How big is it? Do you have to get rid of it at a certain time? There's no rules in place of where you have to get rid of it at a certain time, but the department, I don't think they like you keeping them. In an apartment, did you say? No, no, the wildlife department. I thought he said in an apartment. He had a nice big tank, I remember, once the paramedics came to our house because I was having some heart issues and the lights were on a timer.
And one of the paramedics, she was standing right in front of the croc tank, and the light turned on because of the timer. And she's just sort of turned around, looked at it, and then looks back around, then taking a double look, and she's like, what? Just lost for words. I want a crock, I think. Is there anyone that has...
obviously these would be in the more remote parts of Australia, but is there anyone that has like a moat around their house, you know, Michael, that has Crocs in it? Not that I know of, but personally I'd love to have that. Yeah. Yeah, that'd be pretty awesome. Remember how we interviewed the woman from Chimp Crazy last week? Yes. Croc Crazy, and we'll be chatting to you after your croc's beaten somebody. Do you know a friend that we both know?
It's not a good story. Who? What? What did they do? Went to someone's house. Yeah. And they had lions. What? Yes. It was overseas. No, you can't just have them. You had guard lions. What? Who? Yes. Yes. Thank you. No, we need to know. All of us collectively want to know. G'day, Julie. Hi. What have you got, Jules? So I don't bribe my husband. We prefer to call it an incentive. That's what it was called in the story. The incentive is that he has a history of buying.
useless crap. And usually those purchases are made online under the influence. So now what happens is I charge him what we refer to as stupid tax. So if he buys something stupid, I return it and keep the money. Oh, Jules. What's the last thing you return, Jules? You must just want him to buy stupid things all the time. We both like to enjoy fishing. He came and said to me, hey, our local store has got these fishing rods on sale for half price at the moment.
And I was like, that's a really good deal. And he's like, yeah, I'm going to get one. I was like, yep, righto. And then I came home from work and he had bought two. because in his mind he was like, well, they were 50% off, so now I can buy two of them. And so I took one of them back and kept the money. Maybe he just wanted to fish with you together, Jules. No. No. Carrie misunderstands fishing.
¶ Camping Game: The Sausage Snag
Gary and Tommy driving you home for your Tuesday, Arvo. All thanks to Camplify.com.au, guys. Oh, Camplify. It's the best thing ever. If you've been dreaming of a road trip or like a camping getaway but you don't have a caravan, Camplify is awesome. You just go on.
line and hire one. There's 11,000 different caravans and camper vans all across Australia. And it's not your problem to look after long term. Just borrow it. Also, if you're nervous about backing a caravan out or manoeuvring it into a, like a...
A parking spot. Of course. You can get them to do it for you. They can deliver it for you. You can get the owner to deliver it. Put it on spot. So you just roll up. Your caravan's already set up. Ready to go. Beauty. Do you want to know another fun thing? Yes. And this is not endorsed by Camplify, but I think they'll like it. Yeah. Here is a fun. game to do around the campfire when you're camping. Also, it's dinner as well. I spoke about at the top of the show.
how I've seen online this game they're doing where someone hangs a bit of string around their waist and down and they dangle the sausage between their legs. It's a hen's party game. And then you've got to thrust and try and get the sausage to pop up into your mouth. What a fun...
family game for us all to play. I don't know the family game. Why is it not a family game? That's dinner. Done. If I was less comfortable in my own skin, I wouldn't be playing this game. Skin is not a good word to use. So now we're going to take our headphones off and we're going to, you can just crash out, Jessie, when you've had enough.
Okay, well, let's get Carrie first. Carrie's taking a step away. She's swinging the sausage between her legs. What do you mean is there a treat to it? How do you get it up? She's giving it a big thrust with her hips and it's gone nowhere. So now she's... Oh, now she just whacked herself in the face with the sausage. At Carrie Tommy Show on the socials if you want to see this. I assume we'll have it in slow-mo. Oh, that's pretty good.
A few hip thrusts and it's gone up in the air and just past her face. I'm not giving up until I get this. I will be here all day. I don't think I'm getting a go, am I? No, I don't reckon. Here's another one. Oh, she's almost got it. It literally bobbled around in her mouth and then fell out again. I'm just a man standing here with a sausage dangling between my legs, aren't I? Every day, mate. Every day.
She's hit herself in the mouth again. I think we can move on. Oh, she's dangling. She's landed it on her forehead. And now she's trying to rock it down to her mouth. Do I look insane? Absolutely. At Carrie Tommy Show on the socials. Why are you having a crack? Because you were doing it, mate.
I thought we were doing it at the same time. No, I thought we were going to go one go each. No, we're both going to eat the sausage. What are you waiting for? I was waiting for you. Okay, well, let's have a go now. She's never stopping. Do you want to have a go? I think we've got Ursula Carlson coming up. Yeah, we'd better go.
¶ Urzila Carlson: Life, Love, and Mirrors
Tommy. Gary and Tommy. We're in Australia for your Tuesday Arvo. It's Carrie Bickmore and Tommy Little. Every time we speak to this beautiful human, she's in a different part of the world. We also end up talking about things we shouldn't. That is very true. It goes very sideways. Her show, Just Jokes, is touring the country, including...
Melbourne next Friday and Saturday. You can get your tickets from livenation.com.au. She's one of the best. It's Ursula Carlson. G'day, Urs. Hello, team. How's it going? Oh, pretty good. Where are you in the world? Well, I'm currently in my mum's dining room. I've been painting her house. I'm up to my eye sockets and paint. But not as exciting as last time. In New Zealand? Yes.
You know how it is. One foreign person finds the gate. We let everyone else in. So now my whole family lives here. But we're not like Aussies, you know, like you get a guy in to do stuff. No, no, no. I have to come here on my day off and paint the whole house. Why don't you just get somebody? No, mate. My mum's not like that. She's like, why would I pay someone?
When I gave birth to your giant head, you're going to come do it. But why don't you just say, yes, I will, and then you get somebody? Because I want to keep up in the good graces with tradies. I don't want tradies. to come in here, my mum talks their ears off, complaining about her kids who won't do it for her. No, it's just not worth it. It's just not worth it. Would you consider hiring someone and a costume to dress up like you?
and pretend how with it is your mum would she know if you were just a little bit off and had a slightly different voice what i don't think she'd notice no honestly i don't like she's so busy telling me uh how what a weirdo my brother is that She probably wouldn't notice if it's not me, actually. How weird is your bro? Oh, he's pretty weird. Like you take the weirdest that you can be, Tommy, and add about 20%. And make him 20 years older. But still a giant man hawk.
He's just older. Like I know exactly what you're going to be like at the age of 50 because I've got it at my Christmas table. Giant man whore is a funny expression for your big brother. Yeah, that's probably so next year. I was going to say it's a great time.
How good are you at the painting? Because I have a room at my house that I was just about to get quotes for. Maybe you could come and hang out and do my painting for me. This sounds very much like, yeah, I've been single for a while. Let's try things out here. Absolutely. You said it, not me. I just invited you into my bedroom to paint. That's all. Yeah, yeah. Come paint the cracks in your ceiling. Yeah, no, totally.
Well, as you know, I'm in Melbourne next weekend. I'll bring a brush. How many lesbian love affairs do you think start centred around a trade or an odd job? I reckon... down 85% and the rest of it would all just be bumping into each other bunning. You know, I have to tell you this, just yesterday I was out with friends, right? Because, you know, I'm popular.
This girl says, you know, when you're single, like I'm single again, and they go, you should just keep it real casual. Like, just go on flings with all these lesbians. They go, you don't understand how lesbianism works. Like, we are in. Like, my niece is also a libertarian because, as you know, it's contagious. Hello, Kerry. Like, you go. She just tried to have a fling with a girl.
And then before they knew it, two years down the line, they had bought a house and had frozen embryo. So, you know, that's how we do casual. Carrie, you ready for that casual with her? Well, as long as it comes with painting, I'm happy. I'm really happy. Honestly, and if someone can change a tyre and you don't have to wait for the AA to come out.
Because you remember AA, you think, oh, this will be good. But then it takes some hours to get there. You get a lesbian lover, that will have changed within 20 minutes. AA here is Alcoholics Anonymous. What's AA where... Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. No, that's why you get a sponsor, right? You just have to wait for them. Hey, I hope your muscles are up to it, though, because if you're going to paint Carrie's house, it is a big house, Hirsch.
it's a beast but you heard it's only the bedroom she only needs a brush up in the bedroom is what i heard most of the ceiling is just a mirror so it's fine It's a vibrating bed. They just swing too. Yeah. Have you still got the vibrating bed? Do you know when my mum and dad, so when we were younger, we moved into a house, my mum and my stepdad, and there was a mirror on the roof of the bed.
bedroom and they were like, oh, that has to go. That's disgusting. It never was removed for a good five, six years, I reckon. I bet it wasn't. Yeah. My mum's a saucy little thing. Up to it, eh? Is that the most flattering? I never want to see what I look like on it. Listen, I don't mind the top angle. The top angle I don't mind.
You know, because normally when you're watching the top angle, you're lying on your back, which is the better angle for you. But hold on, you're not seeing them. You're seeing them though. You're not seeing the top of them. Are you? You're seeing up there. I'm never seeing a man. If I'm seeing a man, there's a huge one. Heaps of mirrors. But when you're the person lying on the bottom, you still can't see the top of the person on top of you.
No, but see, that's why you have a lady. They're usually smaller, so you can see. I don't want to see the person on top of me. I'm just lying, watching myself in the mirror. It's the side mirror that gets me because you kind of forget it's there. The side mirror? How many mirrors are you rocking? Oh, look, I'm in a mirror ball. And you just get the fright of your life when you see the side angle of you.
Holy mackerel. Yeah. It's not a positive thing. It's like when you accidentally open your camera phone and it's on you and you realise what you actually look like in a candid moment. Yes, yes. And that's what I say. You know what? If you're... If you're at home or, you know, like you're listening to this right now and your relationship is going through a tough time, take a mirror.
And put it on the floor in the bathroom and just stand wide-legged over it and look at what you're seeing. And then when your partner gets home, you know they're doing God's work. If you want more of that, there's your show, Just Jokes. It's touring the country, including Melbourne next Friday and Saturday. You can get your tickets from livenation.com.
There's a lot of women that are going to be standing wide-legged thinking of you tonight, Irsh. You'll be happy to hear. Yeah, I'm telling you. You don't know. And then you go, oh, because everyone's like, I deserve better. But then when you see that, you go, my dear God, my dear God.
¶ Hamlet's Fastest Speech Challenge
Love you, Irsh. Thank you. Love you, guys. Bye. Driving you home from three till six. It's Carrie Bickmore and Tommy Little. Because yesterday I bought you the world's fastest talking man. Oh, yeah. And then he was doing Michael Jackson's Bad and you did a rendition and we were blown away. This is you attempting.
To do bad. I'm going to tell you, right? To show your face in broad data. I'm going to tell you who I am. Going to hurt your mind. Come on, come on, lay it on me. All right. I'm going to give you a count of three. Just show your stuff. We'll let it be. I'm telling you. Just watch your mouth. I know your game. What about what they say? The sky's the limit. Just tell me the truth. My friend, my friend, you see nothing. Just wait till I get through because I'm bad. I'm bad. That was pretty.
Good. It was really good. And then I remember you asked when we were off there, you go, what's his rate? Well, I didn't really know what that meant, what I was asking, but I was just wanting to work out how fast I was compared to him. Do we have a bit of him?
No, it's not him now because we've moved on because you said what's his word right? And we thought, well, let's hook up because that was from like 20 years ago. Oh, was it? Because he was referring to bad as the new song, the contemporary piece. And so, anyway, we now have the current Guinness World Record holder, Sean Shannon, who is from Canada, and he recited Hamlet's. Two first names, yeah. Hey, Sean Shannon, correct. He recited Hamlet's To Be or Not To Be, which is 260 words.
In a time of 23.8 seconds, which is how many words per minute, Carrie? You know this from your word, right? Three. It is 655 words per minute. Would you like to hear him? Yep. Let's give it to us. It's not actual words. We have slowed. We're down, and I'm yet to hear this, but let's have a listen together. Nah, I call BS.
It's not coherent enough to count as being proper words said. Carrie, I know Guinness don't come to you for their rulings, but Guinness have ruled that legible, and that is the current world record. Well, I want to have a go. Yes. But I'd like to make it a bit more. coherent because I don't feel like that was fair. No, just make it faster. No. Yeah, you got a bit of, you can play with it. No one goes to second place in the hurdles and goes, but you jumped higher over them.
No, I just think it, like, that would be me, like, going. No, Guinness said that's fine. Wow. Yeah. So it was 23. Sounds like he was having some Guinness when he did it. Yeah, got him. Hey, did Guinness start because it was the beer brand? The Guinness World Records book. Yeah. Oh, maybe. Sponsored by a Guinness. Is it really? I'm pretty sure, yeah. There's no way I can read this fast. It's all written in your oldie times words.
Shakespearean. Champions don't make excuses. What did you think Hamlet's to be or not to be was going to be? Couldn't you just give me a Taylor Swift song or something? So 23.8 seconds is what we're going for. I will keep time. Are you ready? Yeah. And.
Go. To be or not to be, there's a question whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer the sins and errors of outrageous fortune or to take arms against the sea of troubles and by opposing them to die to die to sleep no more. And by the way to sleep as we end the heartache and the thousand natural shocks that flesh to the ears, it is consumption devouty to the wish to die to sleep to sleep.
Keep going. I can't. You've got to get through it. You've got to get through it. What do you mean? Keep going. You've got to get through the whole thing. I can't. No one wants to listen to the whole thing. What do you mean? Off air, I'll have a crack at the whole thing. How far did you get through? Before I had to take a breath, I got to there. But that's like.
A third of the way through. I got a third of the way through. But how far was she? It was about halfway on time. Carrie, with a bit of training. She's on pace. Get the people from Guinness on the phone. This could be your thing.
¶ Lady Gaga News & Hip-Hop Music Trivia
Could it? Yeah. Let's go for it. I want to win something. Carrie and Tommy. Lady Gaga and Michael Polanski, her fiancé, are out and about a bit more now. Really pack it on the PDA, this beautiful. couple. She's been very private about her relationship, but she's flashed her mega engagement ring at the Venice Film Festival along with her fiancé, Michael. Is Michael any relation to Roman?
That is very good. There can't be that many Polanskis, can there? I don't know. Is he loaded? They've been engaged for several months now. I wonder, well, yeah, that's interesting, isn't she? Because I just assumed she was loaded, but. Yes, he's not. Does he ask to borrow some money to then buy her? Because imagine, so what happens to say she's mega loaded, he's not.
Obviously he needs to get her engagement ring that's to her calibre. Does he ask for a loan to buy her the thing that she's going to want with her money, do you think, or does he? I reckon you talk to the PA and you suss out. whether she would care or not. And if she does care, the PA slips you some cash. The PA is not accessing your cash. Well, whoever the business manager is, right? Because they all have accountants and stuff, right? Do you reckon if you've got to ask the PA what she likes?
Maybe it's not a good sign you're ready to get married. Oh, yeah, no, it's terrible. But Hollywood romance. I reckon there's a lot of men that wouldn't know what engagement ring to get their wives, their fiancés. Like, it just wouldn't be their area. They wouldn't really know jewelry.
They would know that their partner would want something particular and they wouldn't have any idea. So what do you do? Go to a close girlfriend or confidant? Go to a friend or something. Anyway, other bit of Lady Gaga news. She has surpassed 80 million. monthly Spotify listeners for the first time in her career. 80 million monthly listeners. That's insane. The numbers are so big, I honestly don't understand them anymore.
What do you mean? Like when I brought you Pitbull had 15 billion or whatever. I'm like, what's good? It's good. Trust Gaga. It's good. Should we get a bit of Gaga on? What have we got? Oh, the new one. We've got the new one with Bruno Mars. Love it. Die with a smile. For your Tuesday afternoon, it's Carrie Bickmore and Tommy Little. Do they know they're still? Have they paid attention to the music through the years? It's time now for the music trivia. It's time now for the music trivia.
The Winter of Sports giveaway is on now at Coles with 15,000 winners every week. Head to coles.com.au to find out more. Because this will play into your hands today. Are you ready for your category? Give it to me. Hip hop. Hip-hop. I'm never good at this. What do you mean? It's your thing, because... I don't even think I really know what hip-hop is. What do you mean? I think I get rap and hip-hop and R&B all the bit confused. I think R&B is separate, but rap and hip-hop...
Pretty much the same. Are they? What separates them? I don't think anything. Oh, really? No. I mean, sorry. So what's Eminem? Well, hip hop. But he's a rapper, isn't he? Do you want my really technical, boring answer? Yes, I do. I think this is harking back to my teenage years. Um, hip hop is about break dancing, graffiti and music and rap is the element of that music. So if you have a DJ with you, it's hip hop.
But if you're freestyle rapping, it's rap. Do you get what I mean? No. You ready? Yep. Which artist is often credited with popularizing auto-tune in hip-hop? Would you like multiple choice? Yep. Kanye West, T-Pain, Lil Wayne or Lil John? Lil Wayne. Do you reckon? I don't know. What does Lil Wayne sing? A lollipop, you might know. No. Little John. Uh, mm-mm. Kanye. Nope. No. I should go four from four. What was the other option? You're correct. It's T-Pain.
I don't have ever heard that song. That guy needed autotune help. That is autotune. That's what I'm saying. Is that him with autotune? Yeah. What does he sound like without it? We don't know. Has anyone ever heard him? No. Sure you've heard him live. Have you? Have you got an Eli's goodness? He won the first season of The Masked Singer, right, in the States? Did he? I think he did. Oh. Um, Kanye West also did a whole album, uh, with Auto-Tune, Auto-Tune, 808s and Heartbreak.
Oh. Great album. Um, Snoop Dogg was the unofficial ambassador of the Paris Olympics. What are three other names he goes by? Oh. Um. Snoop Doggy Dog. Yep. Correct. That one. Yep. What's that? Dinosaur? No, no, no. King of the Jungle. Lion. Yeah, but Snoop Lion is another one. Snoop Lion? Yep. What about his real name? What is his real name? Calvin Bordeaux. Oh, he doesn't go by that ever, though. Who calls him Calvin? I bet his mum doesn't even call him Calvin anymore.
Is his mum still alive? It's tricky when you talk about Lady Dog. Lady Dog is still with us. Mama Dog. Mama Dog, yeah. Question number three. What was the first hip-hop single to reach number one on the Billboard? Oh, no, she died, did she? Hot. Oh, she wouldn't call him that then. Valet. What was the first hip-hop single to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100? A, was it Rapper's Delight by the Sugarhill Gang? B, You Can't Touch This by MC Hammer? C, Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice?
Or D, Fight the Power by Public Enemy. Ah, the first one. Rapper's Delight by Sugarhill Gang, you're saying. Incorrect. Oh. What was it? MC Hammer was there as well. Was it? You can't touch that. No, it wasn't. Oh, there was a Public Enemy song that I listed? Yeah, was it that? No. It was Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice. Oh, what a tune. Start, collaborate and listen. Ice is back with a brand new invention, something. She's not on beat, but she's got the lyrics right.
Now, is that rap or hip-hop? That's neither. Hip-hop is with the music. Do you want to know Vanilla Ice's real name? Sure. Robert Van Winkle, Carrie. God, they've got funny names. Van Winkle. Isn't Van Winkle one of the Facebook guys? Yes. No, the Winklevoss. The Winklevoss. Voss twins. The Winklevoss. The Winklevoss. Twins. This is a great line. Would you like to finish the iconic Jay-Z line? I'm not a businessman. I'm a... Rap god. Business man. You haven't got it before.
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe. Why are you all shaking your head? That's not it. That is not the song. That was it. No, that's the song. That's the song. Oh, sorry, but that is not the line. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Final song. Eli might need to confirm this, but who is currently considered the queen of rap? Cardi B.
Anyway, our ethnic correspondent and our hip-hop correspondent is shaking his head. And our female correspondent. He loves them. Who is it? Who would it be? Who would it be? Megan Thee Stallion. She's one, but no. No. You could get near a mic. I think a bit older. A bit older? A bit, sorry, maybe not technically older. No, she is. Both. Been around a bit longer. I don't know. I'm not good. Beyonce. Who is it? What about Anaconda? Oh, what's her name?
Are you asking a mum? I don't know. Is my anaconda don't? That one? He's a song. And who's a boy? I don't know. Just say the words. Nicki Minaj. Oh, no, Eli doesn't like that. Can you complain on Mike? Bonus point, if you can say who the OG queen of crap was. Oh, I don't know any of these people. Late 90s. Was it TLC? She dated Notorious B.I.G. Not someone from Destiny's Child TLC. What does it start with? Little Kim. Yes! Come on.
