1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: We love this lady, love this lady. We've had her

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: husband Cam Dado on quite a few times. But Allison

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 1: has a brand new book out, It's called Queen Menopause,

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: and we wanted to get her all on her own stuff,

Speaker 1: her husband. She's here, Alison Braydado will good to flick

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: the handbag? Yeah?

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 2: Absolutely, name again who cares one of the Dado brothers

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: one of them?

9
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: Is this the first book you've written?

10
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: It is the first book.

11
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: Is it quite therapeutic to have that moment? Creatively?

12
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: Creatively? Absolutely? And it was something I never in a

13
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 2: million years thought I would write about.

14
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: Can we can we go way back? Though? Because I

15
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: mean we I mean how far back do you want

16
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: to go? Modeling day? You want to go back there

17
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: about your modeling days because in the nineties a massive,

18
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: huge model And I want to know, you know, being

19
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: so young in your life because you were on dolling magazines,

20
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: you would have been traveling all over the world. Can

21
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: you give us a that shot of that lifestyle, Allison?

22
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: And like, you know, just being a local girl here

23
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: and then being like just catapulted into that industry. It

24
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: must have been crazy, It wasn't it.

25
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 2: Wasn't. I think I was really slightly detached from it

26
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 2: in some ways because I was so young, and so

27
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: it's only in hindsight that I realized how fortunate I

28
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: was every way. Yeah, I mean I was. I was

29
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: everywhere to a certain age group. I was never el McPherson.

30
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 2: You know, she was the echelon.

31
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: I think, did you meet I've never met her line

32
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: Now you look a.

33
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: Lot like that's a compliment from the from the necker. Yeah,

34
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 2: I agree with that when you came in as well. Yeah,

35
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: she's she's just gorgeous. So you know, I very much

36
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: appeal appealed to the younger girls, and I think that

37
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: that sort of has cemented me in a very sweet

38
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: sweet place in Australian history of modeling. So because I

39
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: think it was six covers in a year of Wow.

40
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: But how vital was Dolly Magazine to young girls back

41
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: in those days?

42
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: Everyone misses it, Everyone missus. It was what you had

43
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 2: and you sat with your girlfriends and you ran it.

44
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: Guys too, we would steal it off our system. I

45
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 2: would steal it off my sister and read Dolly Doctor.

46
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: Will you man? I got an education?

47
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: Can I admit something Dolly Doctor was the first we

48
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: go that I ever found out that what I was

49
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: doing to myself as a young man. That's where I

50
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: actually found out because I was normally thought that there

51
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: was something wrong with me. Yes, shall I read Dolly

52
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 1: Doctor and they said, look, it's fine. It's a part

53
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: of life. And I thought, well, that's great to know.

54
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: And I went to heal for eleven. But I remember

55
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 2: reading Dolly Doctor and there was a someone wrote in

56
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 2: something like all hairy men should be rounded up and

57
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 2: put on an island somewhere.

58
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: Sorry, I wrote it, Dear Dolly Doctor, what is it

59
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: with hairy men? You know? Because BJ and I we

60
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: went on Separate Bathroom, which is an episode. I think

61
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: it's coming up very soon. Yeah, and I do love

62
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,399
Speaker 1: the relationship that you have with your kids, and they're

63
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: teenagers and a lot older now. But you do you

64
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: really work on that, don't you, because that's a hard

65
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: thing to do.

66
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're still working on it. We still get

67
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 2: our hiccups and just.

68
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: Go who's your favorite kid?

69
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 2: You a hundred percent? My favorite kid is Cam? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

70
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 2: there you go that all way. Do you guys sleep

71
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,399
Speaker 2: in the same bed we do?

72
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: That's great.

73
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: We're doing kids have grown up like you're you're not

74

Speaker 2: the same little Yeah, she may not. That's not a

75
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:44,240
