Speaker 4: Try to suck up. You threw me under the bus
Speaker 4: on the show this week.
Speaker 2: I was just going to tell you how lovely your
Speaker 2: jumper is, which was on sale and aesos. But yes,
Speaker 2: I didn't throw you under the bus. But what I
Speaker 2: did I just realize is that that jumper is one
Speaker 2: of the purchases you did keep from asouce, not one
Speaker 2: of the ones that you returned to the receptionist downstairs.
Speaker 4: I feel like people can relate to this because I
Speaker 4: just use the reception here at Kiss to send back
Speaker 4: all my products. And I don't just do a sauce.
Speaker 4: You just saw a sauce. But I do heaps. Also,
Speaker 4: when my uber eats arrives, I have set it up,
Speaker 4: so Daisy, the reception is, go, I make your rolls here.
Speaker 4: Thanks Daisy putting the fridge.
Speaker 3: You know she brings it up for you, doesn't she.
Speaker 4: Oh, I did not want you to say that.
Speaker 5: You run.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, the stickler over here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been here before. They've brought it up. Okay,
Speaker 3: this is the thing that we're unpacking on the show.
Speaker 2: It's very silly, but it's it's a it's a real thing,
Speaker 2: and I think we all do it. It's what perks
Speaker 2: at your work, not even a perk? What do you
Speaker 2: abuse at your work?
Speaker 3: Not stealer?
Speaker 2: Are you stealing? Are you stealing stationary from the stationary cupboard?
Speaker 2: Are you using the printer to print things that you
Speaker 2: shouldn't be printing? Are you like you are you.
Speaker 3: Printing your hands and posters at work?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 3: Are you printing your kids like birthday invitations?
Speaker 2: I don't know, But like, there's so many things that
Speaker 2: people use and abuse from their workplace that if their
Speaker 2: bosses found out they probab would get a slap on
Speaker 2: the wrist.
Speaker 3: They're the things that we're talking about.
Speaker 4: Around your necklace.
Speaker 3: I did change on necklace.
Speaker 2: I did pay for the Tony Maid, but I only
Speaker 2: paid the cost price.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if you pay if it's your brand.
Speaker 2: No, my sister always tells me to stop stealing stocks.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, I think you too, guys. We also
Speaker 2: have some really fun guests on. We have Carla from
Speaker 2: Bankstown carlor Is on Celebrity Apprentice. At the moment, We've
Speaker 2: also got another guest. We also have Jock zon Frillo
Speaker 2: from Master Chef who is one of the Master Chef judges.
Speaker 2: And some of you guys might be familiar with his
Speaker 2: book that he brought out, which is the last shot.
Speaker 2: It's very I mean, it's his own biography, it's his
Speaker 2: life from his experience as he knew it. I know
Speaker 2: that there's been some controversy around the book, but we're
Speaker 2: talking about his experience on the show and also doing
Speaker 2: a very strange little game where he had to guess some.
Speaker 3: Very very very weird food related items. I mean he
Speaker 3: got one of them, right, yeah. Oh, we gave him three.
Speaker 3: I think in the end were very generous.
Speaker 2: He was like, doesn't have some sort of cream? We're like, yes,
Speaker 2: you could make that all right, Well, that is it
Speaker 2: and it is all coming up on the show.
Speaker 4: The star of Celebrity Apprentice, star of social Media. We
Speaker 4: all know her as Kyla from Bankstown aka Ben joins
Speaker 4: us on the line.
Speaker 6: Now, hey, Ben Illo, how are you going?
Speaker 3: Do we have Ben or Carla?
Speaker 6: This is Ben. Cayla is sleeping, She's very tired today.
Speaker 3: This is my question.
Speaker 2: How do you decide when are you going to be
Speaker 2: Ben and when are you going to be Carla?
Speaker 3: Like what's the rules of engagement?
Speaker 6: It just depends. Like sometimes, like obviously with all the
Speaker 6: press that I've been doing for like Celebrity Apprentice, they're
Speaker 6: always like, oh, we want to take to Cayla, we
Speaker 6: want to tet to Carla, and yeah most of the time,
Speaker 6: and you know what, it's so much easier to do
Speaker 6: phone interviews as Carla because a lot of the time
Speaker 6: they're like, can we get you to come into studio
Speaker 6: and do an interview as Carla? Yeah? Cool. I get
Speaker 6: there and the interview goes for five minutes and then
Speaker 6: they're like, Okay, thanks so much, have a nice day.
Speaker 6: And I've spent like three hours doing my cup Cayla.
Speaker 2: This is how every woman feels when she leaves the
Speaker 2: house and for five minutes of the day, and I
Speaker 2: got so ready for this day and it was.
Speaker 3: A waste of my time. Ben.
Speaker 1: I want to know, because you it'd sort of shoot
Speaker 1: into the social media world in the last year or two,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you're everywhere.
Speaker 3: You're on celebrity preners.
Speaker 1: Laura and I haven't got a call up a celebrity prensis,
Speaker 1: so we're not We're not mad about it celebrities.
Speaker 3: But what did you do?
Speaker 1: What was life like before you became Karl and before
Speaker 1: you became this social media sensation.
Speaker 6: I mean I was just working like full time at
Speaker 6: Jemie High Fire, literally was just doing that, and I
Speaker 6: just got really bored with what I was doing. And
Speaker 6: I was just really depressed because I was just like
Speaker 6: working all the time. And then obviously, like I started
Speaker 6: doing the Carlo stuff, the pandemic hit and which was
Speaker 6: great for me, and then Lockdown here which was even better.
Speaker 6: So then I didn't have to go to work and
Speaker 6: I could just do Carlo Vis full time. And now
Speaker 6: I'm like an SPD. I'm everywhere. You can't get rid
Speaker 6: of me.
Speaker 2: Then, when you first got into doing drag What was
Speaker 2: the why behind it?
Speaker 6: I mean, look, I've always done characters, and I've always
Speaker 6: done voices, and there's a few like really old videos
Speaker 6: of me on YouTube, like with other characters that I've done.
Speaker 6: I think one of my other characters I've done, and
Speaker 6: then Lazy sues and she does like a cooking show,
Speaker 6: and I start of doing that, like cooking with Leazy Soo.
Speaker 6: Then a lot of people, obviously being on a mainstream
Speaker 6: television network like Channel nine, they kind of have to
Speaker 6: I guess, market it as a drag queen just so
Speaker 6: I guess people can understand that that's what I'm doing,
Speaker 6: Whereas I feel like, not not to say that I
Speaker 6: don't fall into that category of being a drag queen,
Speaker 6: but I feel like it's more a character based kind
Speaker 6: of thing, like you know Crysally when he does Jamae
Speaker 6: or just you know that kind of thing. It was
Speaker 6: just something that I used my comedy for to kind
Speaker 6: of get through all the bullying and all that kind
Speaker 6: of stuff. That kind of helped me get to a
Speaker 6: good place within myself, you know, because if you can't
Speaker 6: laugh at yourself, you know how you're gonna laugh at
Speaker 6: anything else. That kind of thing.
Speaker 4: So true, so true. I want to know band because
Speaker 4: you've spoken to me privately about your dad, and you
Speaker 4: know your color from Bankstown, which if you're not from Sydney,
Speaker 4: is out west right, It's not anywhere near the city.
Speaker 4: You said, he was nice supportive of you doing the drag,
Speaker 4: but you know, for a dad out in the west,
Speaker 4: all he said to you is, buddy, make sure you're
Speaker 4: successful and make sure you make something of it, and
Speaker 4: that you are. How does he feel?
Speaker 6: Oh, they love it. They just like they're still saying
Speaker 6: to me, like, you know, can you clean the dishes?
Speaker 6: Just because you think you're a celebrity doesn't mean you
Speaker 6: can't get out of the housework. I never once said
Speaker 6: to you.
Speaker 5: That I was a celebrity, but sure, I mean you're
Speaker 5: on celebrity.
Speaker 3: I think the name said it all. Say no, Carla
Speaker 3: can't do the dishes, but Ben can do.
Speaker 6: Al I just say no, no.
Speaker 3: He's a complete sentence.
Speaker 2: Then it is Pride month this month, and are you
Speaker 2: doing anything in particular to celebrate.
Speaker 6: I've got a couple of gigs coming up soon for
Speaker 6: Pride Month. We're doing I'm performing at Pooftook in Sydney
Speaker 6: on the eighteenth of June, which is going to be.
Speaker 4: Sell those love it and you'll hear this. This is
Speaker 4: Carla's brand new song Gronks. That is what you're getting
Speaker 4: pulled on, so such a We're so proud of the
Speaker 4: new song Gronks is out now you can stream and everywhere.
Speaker 4: Plus Carla has a new line of merch. You can
Speaker 4: get it on Threadheads if you want to have a bar.
Speaker 2: We're very sad that you're no longer on Celebri Printers,
Speaker 2: but we look forward to very soon.
Speaker 6: You know what, I wouldn't say never say never with
Speaker 6: celebrit Apprentice because you might see me coming back, maybe
Speaker 6: might be around again at some point. You know, Lord
Speaker 6: Sugar loves me, so we'll.
Speaker 4: Be watching our TV with anticipation. Thanks Ben, We love
Speaker 4: you things for coming on.
Speaker 6: Love you guys.
Speaker 4: What we're doing right now.
Speaker 2: MIDI, there's something that I want to talk about right now,
Speaker 2: and it's something to move on.
Speaker 1: Just did oh no, we don't move on. It's an intervention.
Speaker 3: We need to talk about something.
Speaker 2: I walked in to the to the office here at
Speaker 2: a r N downstairs. There's a lovely receptionist who works
Speaker 2: and Mitchchury walks in with two massive bags from Aesos
Speaker 2: Santa I had like to Santa that were big, except
Speaker 2: that he was returning it to Santa. You know, you
Speaker 2: know when you buy something the line and then you
Speaker 2: send it back in the same bags. Yes, instead of
Speaker 2: Mitch taking it to the post office or to a
Speaker 2: red box or a Yellow box or wherever you take
Speaker 2: it to. Mitch walks in to the receptionist, nothing printed
Speaker 2: on them, and says, hey, Daisy, can you just take
Speaker 2: this back?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: And I think this is your lunch break. This is
Speaker 3: abusing the work perks.
Speaker 4: No, listen. They have a courier service that comes because
Speaker 4: we're a radiot. Nowlm's lisping. I don't have a list,
Speaker 4: but now I've developed a lisp. We have a courier
Speaker 4: service because we're a radio station. We send out prizes
Speaker 4: all the time. So the postman comes to us.
Speaker 2: Okay, question, who's going to print off that little label
Speaker 2: that you have to stick on for the returns.
Speaker 4: Well it'll be Daisy, but I've emailed it to her.
Speaker 4: All she has to do is click print black and white,
Speaker 4: you know, save the ink.
Speaker 1: Actually, we are throwing you under the bus, but I
Speaker 1: didn't know you had a courier service. I might still
Speaker 1: have to bring my stuff for you to print to send.
Speaker 4: On guys, you can't gritty. I can hook you up
Speaker 4: Daises Love. You'll give you a email. She's really good.
Speaker 4: But this everyone does this. It's work perks.
Speaker 3: I mean to be fair.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys know, but I every
Speaker 1: week I send a whole bunch of stuff I need
Speaker 1: printed ahead of time to the producer here to produce Keisha,
Speaker 1: and I get her to print it. I'm talking like
Speaker 1: forty fifty pages sometimes like sometimes there's scripts. Sometimes there's advertising.
Speaker 3: For that who has a printer at home?
Speaker 2: That no body's printer at home unless you have a
Speaker 2: home office, and then you might have a home print.
Speaker 2: But I feel like this is okay. I know that
Speaker 2: I'm teasing you, miss Yeah. I think that everybody in
Speaker 2: their workplace has some sort of work perk that they abuse.
Speaker 4: What would you do with Tony May the jewelry all
Speaker 4: the time?
Speaker 3: Get high on my O?
Speaker 2: No, But I'm with what I used to do when
Speaker 2: I used to work in an office. So I was
Speaker 2: doing Tony May on the side as my side hustle.
Speaker 2: But I used to go into work early and print
Speaker 2: off all my pamphlets and all of my line sheets
Speaker 2: and stuff for Tony May from my work printer.
Speaker 1: But I think this is pretty standard. Like even when
Speaker 1: I used to work at the pizza store, yep, I
Speaker 1: worked at a pizza store. I just used to like
Speaker 1: I turned into a pizza I used to eat that
Speaker 1: much pizza. Or I would charge myself a ham and
Speaker 1: pineapple pizza, but that would be loaded with prons.
Speaker 3: Or there would be you know, like a stationary cupboard.
Speaker 3: Everyone has something that they take.
Speaker 4: I will say while we're in the dude, I did
Speaker 4: actually cause a monumental rift at the radio station. We
Speaker 4: have a drinks Fridgeould you guys rate every show we
Speaker 4: go down now with my pop up? Yeah, Laura burn
Speaker 4: mother drinking poppap We talk about that later. Do you
Speaker 4: have Brittany, you get a sprite zero?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I'm always zero sugar. Whatever he's in there with zero sugar,
Speaker 1: super healthy.
Speaker 4: On Fridays, I would fill my backpack up with drinks
Speaker 4: and then I'd walk out and have to tiptoe because
Speaker 4: it sounded like a semi trailer moving and they had
Speaker 4: to install a camera. You know of me, and everyone's
Speaker 4: going that that person that ruined it for us. All
Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, let's find them and let's get them.
Speaker 1: You need to steal it and then have a party.
Speaker 2: A party on the weekend.
Speaker 3: You realize that this is a national radio show and
Speaker 3: everyone's going to know that it's forgot. We want a show.
Speaker 2: I don't know what do other people steal from their
Speaker 2: workplaces or what do they get away with?
Speaker 1: What do you take advantage of your workplace?
Speaker 4: Yeah, give us a call, we'll get you on their Oh,
Speaker 4: let's got Chloe on thirteen one six times?
Speaker 5: Chloe?
Speaker 4: What do you take advantage of in your workplace? High?
Speaker 7: So I work full time remotely from home, so I
Speaker 7: don't have any like face to face off this time.
Speaker 7: And so I'm helping a friend with an event that
Speaker 7: she's running in Vietnam in September, and we decided in
Speaker 7: May to go over and do some prep. But I
Speaker 7: just worked remotely from Vietnam.
Speaker 1: Because so when you have to jump on like a
Speaker 1: skype meeting call or something, do you just do that
Speaker 1: thing when you blur the background.
Speaker 7: I have a background on it all the time, anyway.
Speaker 3: I mean that's the.
Speaker 2: Whole thing from working from home, though, isn't it? That
Speaker 2: is the real work perk? You can do it from anywhere.
Speaker 4: Aman, let's got a Haley I on thirteen one or
Speaker 4: six I've Hailey, what's your work perk you took advantage of?
Speaker 8: I occasionally nick the rolls of Loue paper for home
Speaker 8: when I run out.
Speaker 1: Did this start in the pandemic when there was a
Speaker 1: shortage or is this something you've done for a long time?
Speaker 8: No, it started because I just moved into state and
Speaker 8: I was really kind of short on money, like literally
Speaker 8: two hundred dollars left in my account. I just didn't
Speaker 8: want to buy Loue paper?
Speaker 3: What kind of what level apply?
Speaker 1: Talking four play six play eight places?
Speaker 3: It's never good.
Speaker 4: It's just thin.
Speaker 8: No, it's not bad, like it's not like the really thin.
Speaker 8: It's not like the role.
Speaker 2: Maybe the standards for toilet paper has just gone down
Speaker 2: so far because all you're doing is stealing it now
Speaker 2: in the public.
Speaker 4: You've never had the good Stuffily, so she doesn't know
Speaker 4: what it feels like. All right, wrap it up? Rose
Speaker 4: on thirteen one O six five? Rose, what's your work
Speaker 4: perk you're taking advantage of?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 7: Well, I am. When I need a break, I take
Speaker 7: when I know that life old Cat's coming on here.
Speaker 7: I take my phone and my head suit, my bluetooth
Speaker 7: into the toilet and listen to the girls and had my.
Speaker 8: Little gills in the toilet.
Speaker 7: But when I someone walks in, I've got to be
Speaker 7: quiet and not pretend that you know, I'm just doing
Speaker 7: my business.
Speaker 4: That's not a worker but also.
Speaker 8: Work.
Speaker 1: Our average episode length is like an hour. How long
Speaker 1: are you taking in these toilets?
Speaker 2: Well, you know, it depends how bored I am or
Speaker 2: how you know what mood I.
Speaker 4: Mean right last night again?
Speaker 1: Sorry, go nothing makes me happy? Rose, And then knowing
Speaker 1: that you listen to us while you take your most
Speaker 1: private moment.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much.
Speaker 8: If I don't have the private vineage, just go in. Anyway.
Speaker 2: If some people can have smoke o breaks, you can
Speaker 2: have an extended to break, you can have an extended
Speaker 2: toilet break.
Speaker 4: I agree, Pool on mcclark, everybody take that from this.
Speaker 2: We have a dating relationships podcast, We Love Love here
Speaker 2: at Life on Cut. There is something that has been
Speaker 2: happening quite a bit recently, and we're seeing it more
Speaker 2: and more. There is an ex NFL star who recently
Speaker 2: took his wife's surname. And then also on top of that,
Speaker 2: do you know Brooklyn Beckham and how he's recently gotten married,
Speaker 2: so he also took his now wife's surname as well,
Speaker 2: but he made like a hyphenated name.
Speaker 4: I love that.
Speaker 3: That was Pelts, wasn't it. You would think I'm telling
Speaker 3: the story, but you know more than I do.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 2: But the thing about this is that this when when
Speaker 2: a man starts to take a woman's last name or
Speaker 2: they do things with a bit more balanced, they've given
Speaker 2: a name to that. It's a new dating relationship term
Speaker 2: called relationship balance.
Speaker 3: There really is a name for everything, isn't that?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 2: It just kind of shows that, like throughout all of
Speaker 2: these different types of dating phenomena, that there is now
Speaker 2: a new age definition and terminology that seems to go
Speaker 2: hand in hand.
Speaker 4: And alongside that something for everyone.
Speaker 2: And I wanted to unpack a couple of them with
Speaker 2: you guys. All right, do you know what a cookie
Speaker 2: jar relationship is?
Speaker 1: If we're not referring to Sessime Street, no.
Speaker 2: Okay, A cookie jar relationship is when you're dating two
Speaker 2: or three or maybe four people to work out who
Speaker 2: you like better. So you've got multiple people on at
Speaker 2: the same time and you're trying to figure out You're
Speaker 2: not only you're juggling them, but you're trying to figure out, like, hmm,
Speaker 2: hatch your bets.
Speaker 3: You know which one do you like better? Out of
Speaker 3: the three? Five?
Speaker 1: Every guy in Sydney correct jar, every guy in Australia.
Speaker 3: I used to cookie jar. How don't you want to
Speaker 3: go at the same time? It's just called dating? Is
Speaker 3: that they mean? When they's like, so you have your
Speaker 3: hand in the cookie jar?
Speaker 1: Yes, like you. You're trying to have them all the
Speaker 1: big cookie. You want your cake and eat it too.
Speaker 2: Do you know what it means to be benching someone?
Speaker 1: Do you lift them up above your head?
Speaker 4: Is this a sexy term or a gym? A long time?
Speaker 2: It's when you keep someone on hold on a bench. Basically,
Speaker 2: it just means that you like them, but you don't
Speaker 2: like them enough to commit to them, so you kin'd
Speaker 2: of got them there in case, you know, nothing else
Speaker 2: better comes along.
Speaker 3: They're just there, they're benched. Do you know what I love?
Speaker 1: I love the term not only because it's food, but
Speaker 1: bread crumbing. Do you have you heard of bread crumbing dust.
Speaker 1: But I think that's so fard. Bread crumbing is, and
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people do this. I have
Speaker 1: been guilty of it many many, many people have done
Speaker 1: it to me. But it's where you just give the
Speaker 1: tiniest little morsel. You're dropping these little crumbs to keep
Speaker 1: them following you, but not enough.
Speaker 3: You don't give them a whole loaf of bread.
Speaker 1: Interest. So maybe they give you a text here and
Speaker 1: there just to keep you hanging. So they drop the
Speaker 1: bread crumbs so you can find you way home.
Speaker 3: So you're basically just stringing them along.
Speaker 1: Yes, but you never get your freshly baked loaf of bread.
Speaker 3: It never comes.
Speaker 1: You get the old, stale, crusty bread crumb that has
Speaker 1: fallen off the tape.
Speaker 3: You end up in the bread house with old lady
Speaker 3: who trying to eat you.
Speaker 4: That's what happens.
Speaker 2: Okay, I have one more, which I think is quite
Speaker 2: a goodie. Now we all know what ghosting is. It's
Speaker 2: pretty I think that's a that's a staple, that's a
Speaker 2: relationship staple that we're all familiar with. Been there, donner
Speaker 2: have you heard of being the zombie or zombieing someone? No,
Speaker 2: So when you're a zombie. It's when you have ghosted
Speaker 2: someone but then you've been resurrected. So it's when when
Speaker 2: someone's gone dead, they haven't messaged you for weeks or
Speaker 2: a month, and then all of a sudden they're like
Speaker 2: you up, and we all know what that U up text.
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, all their other options have gone down
Speaker 1: the gurgle. Yeah, they're like, yeah, I'll just read visit
Speaker 1: Old Sally from down the road.
Speaker 3: She's closed, but I'm going to find that girl that
Speaker 3: I had on the bench.
Speaker 7: The rest of the bread.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if you guys a scene, but
Speaker 1: it is this time of year where we start to
Speaker 1: get leaked all the daily mail snaps of the behind
Speaker 1: the scenes filming of the Bachelor. So the Bachelor's not
Speaker 1: out yet, but we know they love to go and
Speaker 1: do the spoilers. There is a lot of controversy because
Speaker 1: this season of a Bachelor apparently are in a fourteen
Speaker 1: point five a million dollar mansion in broad Beach on
Speaker 1: the Gold Coast now in Queensland, and a few of
Speaker 1: the old batchy contestants not us, but we're gonna give
Speaker 1: you our opinion. A few contestants have come out and
Speaker 1: said that they feel a bit ripped off because their
Speaker 1: mansion was nowhere near as good.
Speaker 3: Oh no, I'll say I feel ripped.
Speaker 4: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: I think I think us can be included that there
Speaker 2: was rats in my mansion.
Speaker 3: I have a video. I mean that's failure.
Speaker 2: I have a legitimate video that was sent I won't
Speaker 2: say who by, but someone who works in they sent
Speaker 2: it to me and it's a video of me in
Speaker 2: the bathroom running away from a friggin' rat that lived
Speaker 2: in the.
Speaker 3: Mansion with us. Where was we called him Ratty? Was Inclinori, Ah.
Speaker 4: And it was a big, big house.
Speaker 3: It was. It was a house that looked nice from
Speaker 3: a far but far from nice.
Speaker 4: But it that way.
Speaker 1: But do you know what, I don't know what they're
Speaker 1: that jealous about, because you know how many people go in.
Speaker 1: We don't know this season, but my season there were
Speaker 1: thirty girls. I have no idea how many women are
Speaker 1: in this season mansion, This fourteen point five million dollar mansion.
Speaker 3: It only has four bedrooms.
Speaker 1: So you do the math on that there are a
Speaker 1: lot of people bunking down in those bedrooms.
Speaker 4: Would you all actually stay there? Like school camps.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, And what most people don't realize is that
Speaker 2: all the girls sleep in bunk beds the dormitory, in
Speaker 2: the rooms, they're like dorns. So in my room there
Speaker 2: was thirteen bunk beds in my room.
Speaker 4: And was it a tiny room?
Speaker 3: Oh, it was big enough thirteen bunk beds. It was
Speaker 3: pretty small.
Speaker 1: We had sixteen bunk beds in mine. It was literally
Speaker 1: like I was backpacking back in South America. It is
Speaker 1: hostele living. But people think that you're like I mean,
Speaker 1: people think that you walk in, you're in your own big,
Speaker 1: luxurious bedroom. There's fine places as shad. It is not
Speaker 1: like that you are fining for the bathroom. If you
Speaker 1: have an accident, if you've got an upset stomach, you're
Speaker 1: you're left for dust.
Speaker 4: But you maked up the whole time. Are they filming
Speaker 4: you twenty four seven.
Speaker 2: Not twenty four seven. You're marked up for like majority
Speaker 2: of the day. Then you have like the evenings and stuff.
Speaker 2: Unless it's a cocktail party, you're not marked up. But
Speaker 2: if you're just having leisure time, and I put leisure
Speaker 2: time in like little queer buddies. If you're having leisure
Speaker 2: time around the house, you're not miked up, so they're
Speaker 2: not listening to those conversations. But we had to share
Speaker 2: two bathrooms, twenty four girls, two bathrooms.
Speaker 3: So we had to shower.
Speaker 2: It was a glass door, a glass shower door, so
Speaker 2: whoever was doing their makeup in.
Speaker 3: The basin could see them straight into the shower. So
Speaker 3: you'd have to hang your taiel.
Speaker 2: Over the glass door, jump over the rats, yeah, jump
Speaker 2: over rattus, get in the shower, hang your tailer, and
Speaker 2: we all just everyone was just mood all the time
Speaker 2: together because you had no privacy and you don't.
Speaker 1: The funniest thing is when you're doing when you're actually filming,
Speaker 1: you're doing rose submarines and things.
Speaker 3: Like that, or cocktail parties.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, And because you're constantly miked, when you've got
Speaker 1: to go to the toilet, you'll literally call out to
Speaker 1: like the twenty.
Speaker 3: Men that are working behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: You're like, boys number seventeen's going to the toilet. You
Speaker 1: might want to turn the mic off for a hot second, no,
Speaker 1: because otherwise they hear it. So you had to give
Speaker 1: them the heads up that you were going to do
Speaker 1: your business.
Speaker 4: So why is this how so much better? Because what's
Speaker 4: the price at fourteen point five million.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's so much better. I think it's
Speaker 1: just on the water and it seems like it's in
Speaker 1: a nicer location.
Speaker 3: I was in the book Shelves.
Speaker 2: Of the Middle of Nowhere and it's a bit sunny
Speaker 2: and a bit more like I mean, I've seen the
Speaker 2: paparazzi photos of this house.
Speaker 3: It does look pretty lush.
Speaker 2: From the outside, but we all know what's going on inside.
Speaker 3: Single beds and no fun.
Speaker 4: You can take the batchy mansion out of a girl,
Speaker 4: but you can't put the batchy girl in bunk beds
Speaker 4: in a room.
Speaker 3: Something in that somewhere.
Speaker 4: I lock to the new crop of girls and Ratley.
Speaker 4: Hope Ratley gets up to broad Beach waters. Sorry, Yeah,
Speaker 4: we have seen this man all over our televisions. He's
Speaker 4: a bonfid superstar. He's not an aussy Bourne, but he
Speaker 4: is from from Ireland. We know jocks On Fellow from
Speaker 4: Masters him.
Speaker 3: Geography.
Speaker 4: Lesson that.
Speaker 7: Hope.
Speaker 4: He's not on the phone right now. His new book
Speaker 4: A Last Shot is available, is here to talk all
Speaker 4: about it. Plus, of course master Chef Jocksonfrellow joins us, Hi,
Speaker 4: thanks for having me so many.
Speaker 2: People know you like you are on Master Chef, you're
Speaker 2: on a TV screens. Nobody without knowing your story of
Speaker 2: reading your book would know that you have had this
Speaker 2: other life, a completely different life that you've lived beforehand.
Speaker 2: Did you ever think or what was the catalyst that
Speaker 2: made you be able to go, yeah, I'm going to
Speaker 2: be on a TV show. I've got my start. Like,
Speaker 2: turning your life around in such a huge way is
Speaker 2: truly remarkable, But what was that moment where you were like, Okay,
Speaker 2: things are on the up again.
Speaker 5: I think when I emigrated and I was working at
Speaker 5: forty one.
Speaker 6: And then when you read the book.
Speaker 5: There's this first half that is up to that point
Speaker 5: where I stopped taking heroin, and then there's the other
Speaker 5: half of the book, which is after it, and the
Speaker 5: other half begins with just more turmoil and more really
Speaker 5: bad shit. Because what I realized is that I also
Speaker 5: had an obsession as well as an addiction. I had
Speaker 5: an obsession with foods. I had an obsession with cooking,
Speaker 5: and it was almost as damaging on my life as
Speaker 5: the addiction was, probably more so. And so the first
Speaker 5: couple of years clean was the beginning of me trying
Speaker 5: to sort myself out as a person and dealing with
Speaker 5: my mental health again diagnosed as a high function or
Speaker 5: CD binary.
Speaker 2: So you think you can transfer as in like you
Speaker 2: had that heroin addiction and then you transferred the addiction
Speaker 2: into something else and.
Speaker 5: You was not.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 5: I I've always had the obsession, and I think, and
Speaker 5: I've talked about it in the book, I can't I
Speaker 5: honestly don't believe I would have conquered the addiction if
Speaker 5: I didn't have the obsession. That's what I think.
Speaker 1: I mean, to channel all your energy and that obsessive
Speaker 1: behavior into something else and you just managed to find
Speaker 1: a positive Yeah.
Speaker 5: And I think if you talk to a lot of
Speaker 5: people who have been addicted there and I'll tell you
Speaker 5: that there needs to be something more compelling than heroin
Speaker 5: to draw you away from it, do you know what
Speaker 5: I mean? And I think for me, I was lucky
Speaker 5: enough where I you know, food's and cooking. I was
Speaker 5: obsessed clearly and had a career that I'd focused on
Speaker 5: and that kept me on the right side the wrong.
Speaker 3: I feel like.
Speaker 2: There's a bit of a stereotype that has been cast
Speaker 2: with chefs that they can be a bit angry or
Speaker 2: they can.
Speaker 3: You know, just yes, bad boys.
Speaker 2: I feel like that this is this is and I
Speaker 2: mean I've dated a chefs once before in my life time,
Speaker 2: and I would say he was a bit hot headed.
Speaker 2: Do you think that there's any truth to this or
Speaker 2: would you say maybe it's a bit of a stereotype.
Speaker 5: No, I think the truth to in a certain degree.
Speaker 5: I think the kitchen is a place of high pressure
Speaker 5: that have this build up of pressure throughout the day
Speaker 5: as you've worked towards service right and get it ready,
Speaker 5: twelve o'clock happens all of a sudden, there's one hundred
Speaker 5: checks on. Everyone's yelling and showing each other because that's
Speaker 5: you know, like to get food in a busy, busy restaurant.
Speaker 5: And then when it's all over at ten or eleven
Speaker 5: o'clock at night, you've mop down the benches, do a
Speaker 5: little bit of preyer. You leave the kitchen at mid
Speaker 5: night one o'clock in the morning and it's silence and
Speaker 5: there's nobody and there's nothing open. There's nothing for you
Speaker 5: to do.
Speaker 2: That's the hospitality industry, isn't it. And that's why they
Speaker 2: say there's a bit of a partying mentality after shifts
Speaker 2: and no.
Speaker 3: That's why I did the break shifts.
Speaker 5: I think it is that you get this hot headed
Speaker 5: this because you know, I think people just have that
Speaker 5: that reputation. Obviously Gordon is a made of mind. But
Speaker 5: I mean, you know he doesn't help us at all
Speaker 5: by when he's just yelling at everybody.
Speaker 4: Hell's Kitchen didn't help help the help.
Speaker 2: BRANDM glad that we don't see you yelling at people
Speaker 2: on Master Chef, that's for sure.
Speaker 4: Yes, I completely we love your Master Chef buddy. The
Speaker 4: new book is available as well, but I need to know, buddy,

Speaker 4: Just I'm so happy because of the new iOS update
Speaker 4: that that's coming to the iPhone. Some of the changes
Speaker 4: have made me so.
Speaker 2: Please, so please, do you know this is something that
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people are going to be
Speaker 2: excited about.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: With Apple, you know when you send a text message, Yes, However,
Speaker 2: so often you'll send a message and then be like
Speaker 2: I wish I could undsend that message. That is what
Speaker 2: they're bringing out basically with some of these new changes
Speaker 2: that they've brought out with the iOS update. Yeah, if
Speaker 2: you're someone who actually ever gets around to updating their phones.
Speaker 3: You can recall messages now.
Speaker 2: So if you change your mind, if you accidentally say
Speaker 2: something that you don't mean, if you tell your boss
Speaker 2: that he's a po and you want to withdraw that statement,
Speaker 2: you now have fifteen minutes. So fifteen minutes after sending
Speaker 2: a text message you can go back in. If the
Speaker 2: person hasn't read.
Speaker 4: It, you take it back.
Speaker 1: But that doesn't help you after midnight, Like you need
Speaker 1: more than fifteen minutes.
Speaker 3: You need to eat our window.
Speaker 1: You need to wake up the next day and be like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I sent that at midnight. But this
Speaker 1: was the most requested change, the most requested update, and
Speaker 1: I am here for it, and I wish it was
Speaker 1: around the last ten years because I have done this
Speaker 1: way too many times.
Speaker 3: Do you know once, Oh my god, I just remember this.
Speaker 3: Do you know what I did?
Speaker 1: I was going on a date, a first date with
Speaker 1: this super super hot, good looking guy. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: was so excited by it that I screenshot our conversation
Speaker 1: because it was a bit flirty, and I went to
Speaker 1: send it to my friend can you And I was like,
Speaker 1: can you believe I'm going on a date with this guy?
Speaker 1: And I sent the screenshot of our conversation back to him.
Speaker 4: At least she was saying he's hot.
Speaker 3: Yes, Well, he was in the.
Speaker 1: Public a little bit, so people knew me was it's
Speaker 1: more embarrassing. I was modified and I couldn't if what
Speaker 1: did he say?
Speaker 3: He just like I owned it.
Speaker 1: I wrote back and I said, there's not really any
Speaker 1: way to explain this other than it is what it is.
Speaker 1: And we still went on the date. We went on
Speaker 1: the date, but didn't go further than that. I think
Speaker 1: it was a sympathy date.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's more of a success story. I've definitely
Speaker 3: I'm single.
Speaker 2: Later, I've definitely screenshot someone's dating profile and meant to
Speaker 2: send the dating profile to my friend, but sent it
Speaker 2: to him and exactly like this, This is one of
Speaker 2: those instances where you just want to take it back.
Speaker 3: I wish that didn't happen, and now you can. But
Speaker 3: this is the other thing.
Speaker 2: You can also go in and you can change the
Speaker 2: setting so you can say that it's something's been unseen,
Speaker 2: even if you've read it.
Speaker 3: You can now say that it's been unread.
Speaker 4: But that's only on your phone, so if you're too
Speaker 4: busy to read it, you can go back later.
Speaker 3: Right, No, surely this change is going to be different.
Speaker 2: Surely with this change, if you if you hit unread,
Speaker 2: it means the other person thinks you haven't read it.
Speaker 3: Now, And this is what I mean. I did this
Speaker 3: for years.
Speaker 1: I always thought when your market is unread, it quickly
Speaker 1: lets everyone know, like the other person thinks you haven't
Speaker 1: read it. So I used to read things marketers unread
Speaker 1: and be like never applying to that person.
Speaker 3: But they knew I had seen it.
Speaker 4: It's just for you. They still have seen changes, Laura.
Speaker 2: But I thought that this would just be with Instagram.
Speaker 2: I think with this new update, maybe you can actually.
Speaker 3: You can recall the unread.
Speaker 7: No you can't.
Speaker 3: All right, well, I'm gonna lobby Apple because that's the
Speaker 3: next change.
Speaker 1: We do actually have a really good podcast episode coming
Speaker 1: up for this week on Tuesday with Kisses Very Own.

Speaker 1: is very important to talk about.
Speaker 3: But it's something that Will speaks very openly.
Speaker 1: About and recently he had a little bit of a
Speaker 1: breakdown slash breakthrough on Celebrity Apprentice.
Speaker 2: Well, we also got to sit down and do share
Speaker 2: my food with Will and Woody recently. These guys are
Speaker 2: so open about talking about mental health. They're big advocates
Speaker 2: for it, and we wanted to extend that conversation. And yeah,
Speaker 2: the whole episode it is a round toxic masculinity and
Speaker 2: how it affects everyone, not just men.
Speaker 3: It doesn't discriminate, it doesn't discriminate. And then that's it.
