Yeah, this is talkback teams. You do this set up?
I guess, Mitch, it's where I find little bits of gold on talkback radio because it's a it's a world of its own that I feel a lot of our listeners don't really get amongst so they're not familiar with the kind of bizarre magic that happens.
On talkback radio exactly.
But today you've found the audio I have, and.
In fact it's a mystery edition.
Yes, I'm of the little bit. I'm a little bit unsure of what you mean by that.
No, the thing is, this is a piece of audio that is from an Australian radio station down in Melbourne.
Okay, three a w. Oh, this is big. This is the first time we've ventured outside of two SM.
Yes, correct, very true. I haven't heard of these announcers before. I'm going to get the date. Hold on, wait there, I actually didn't get this.
Okay, See, this wouldn't happen if it was me. Like I said, very good storytelling.
You'll cut this out all right, three a W News Talk six nine three in twenty and twelve. This is eight years ago, Mitchell.
Well, don't be withholding good information from me. Why is it only coming up now?
Someone called through to the three AW program. Uh huh late at night. Someone that you admire very much, right, someone that you look up to, someone who's music you consume. Mitchell Coomb's Lady Gaga called three AW talkback radio to have a chat eight years ago in twenty twelve.
Oh god, in twenty twelve, she would have been on the Born This Way Ball Correct on tour. She could have been an Australia.
She was in Melbourne on this exact date. That's why your kidding. The mystery is open ended because it was never confirmed nor denied and the dates line up.
Wow, So Lady Gaga was just sitting around in her hotel room on tour in twenty twelve. We're just tuning the old wireless, found a station and was like, I'm going to have a yarn.
Here's the thing. No one knows if it's hurt because she never admits to being lady. It's almost as if she wanted to call through to talk about how good Lady Garga was without ever revealing that it was Lady.
Gard Oh god, it sounds like something that we would do, like we do a day to tank called the radio station. It would have been her and her makeup artist or something.
Yeah, one hundred percent. I have it here. Are you ready to roll the mystery Talkback Tings featuring Lady Gaga.
I gotta tell you the audio better not disappoint because so far this is definitely a bit of gold on talkback radio that I haven't heard before.
Oh, you're gonna love it. I can't believe I haven't heard this. It'll bow you away and I think out of anyone in the world, you'll be able to decipher if it is in fact Stephanie Gemma Roster.
I would have done the research. Stephanie, Joeanne, Angelina Gemina Geminat.
Okay, let's roll the audio my jury first edition of Talkback Tings. Let's go.
It is thirteen to two Melbourne Town, three w and A Birwood and Bob Please hold but right now, Stephanie of Richmond is here. Hello, Stephanie, Hello, how are you? I'm good? I hope you're well.
Yeah, aren't you? Guys? How's the ever.
You guys?
Hello?
Yes, I just didn't catch the last part. Stephanitely.
How's the weather?
Oh, the weather, that's fine, it's fine, Yes, it's fine in Richmond. Well, it's it's a bit drizzly, it's cold, but we seem to be okay. Yes, what else do you want to say?
I was at a concert on Saturday night. Yes, it was one of the best concerts that had been to Who was it, Lady Gaga?
Oh wow?
Yeah, of course everyone seems to just love it that. John Burns on the break from the Breakfast program said it was better than the first time he saw.
I was absolutely, I was a speechless her shows, her performance, it was unbelievable.
Yes, and how many costume changes were there there? I don't know how she does it. She must have a while she has arrived with the whole team of people, hasn't she of course to help her do all that stuff?
But she does.
Yeah, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Oh, thank you.
That's all right, bye, Stephanitely take care. Fine, Now that's it.
That's the audio.
Okay. I'm not convinced either way. Either it's her trying to alter her voice to sound different or it's someone who isn't her trying to sound like her, because there were glimpses of her voice like it was the vocal right that I was like, Oh, that's her, but the tone was not her at all.
To add to the mystery, there was a full thread on three a W six nine three newstalk page that has since been removed. Oh that I was only reading about a month ago when I found this audio.
Okay, how did you find this audio?
It was sent to me by contact. I can't reveal.
Her and they probably discogled that.
Yeah, sure, dear Lady Gaga called the three a aw open line. It's been viewed one hundred thousand times twenty twelve. Don't forget her voice would have sounded different in twenty twelve too. That was the start. That was the start of her career.
No, no, I reckon twenty twelve, she'd really developed that deep huskiness. She was a bit more baby and mouthy back in two thousand and eight, when she first started. She'd been around for a while. In twenty twelve, Hannah May says, the dates match up.
I was there at the concert in Melbourne. That is her voice. Her voice is identical to when I saw her in concert.
That's not identical to her voice, though. They can't just say that, oh, that's identical to her voice. No, we've all heard it too, but you don't have to be at the concert to hear her.
Do you think it's Lady Gaga or not? I don't care either way. I actually think it is her because I love the mental picture of her baked off her mind. She would have been with her makeup artistle, like you said, in a hotel. Shall we just car the radio station. It's a terrible impression.
I mean, I want to believe it's true, but I'm not. I think I think it's more likely some smart ass gay. It would have been someone like you or I. Yeah, that was like, let's go, let's call and pretend to be Lady Gaga calling a radio station.
There were I podcast in twenty twelve. No one had any real reason other than to do it for their own amusement.
I don't know if you realize this, but sometimes friends like to have fun together and not record it. Sometimes people just are funny and not for content purposes.
Very true.
Do you know how many prank calls I've done that I haven't recorded?
Really?
Oh my word, Actually I've been involved in it.
That's how this podcast started. I think we're driving back from down the coast ring Poppy.
That's how coughing fit chicken started. I was like, it's called the radio station and just cough at them. And then I was like, why was that genius? We need to do that?
Yeah, that was ridiculous. Should we call three AW nine six three and ask? Maybe the phone operator knows about it. Maybe it's a famous thing in the.
Halls of three AW Is Dot making a comeback?
Yes, not returning for the second time this episode?
What are you going to do? You're gonna call them and ask about them? This three just asked straight up?
Yep, okay music, So.
Here we go, s right, I am here, my name is Dot.
I don't what did you want to chat about?
Good question? I have just discovered YouTube. Uh and I look at the clip clits on nine of you and the and the page, and I've seen Did Lady Gaga called the thraw three a w sorry hot nine? Lady Gaga called up the radio program years ago.
Yes, well we believe.
But what I can't get my head around my grandchildren is a little gay grandchild. He loves loves Lady Gaga. Did it just did not happen?
No, well we think it did.
She was in town.
It sounds exactly like her and she called herself Stephanie.
What's a real name? Oh, lady Gaga? Yes, but did she really call wow?
Who knows?
Who knows?
What? Story? So the rumor in the building. So is it like a like a like a tale told in the building down there?
No, it's not. We do a lot of radio here.
In another day another time.

You're just trying to snitch on me. You just called back while I was bitching.
That happened. I didn't do it with my hands. Somebody's going on in this studio. Everything's just stop working, mystery. What just happened sounds creepy?
Well, they will all make bitch tits believes that it was Lady Gaga.
She went straight into it, knew exactly what Dot was talking about.
