1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nason. Wow, I didn't think Alex Cullen 2 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 1: would lose his job. 3 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 2: I've just been gobsmacked at that. But you know, there's 4 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 2: such a thing as cash for comment. In case you 5 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 2: didn't hear the news story there, Alex Cullen from Channel nine. 6 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 2: I don't watch a lot of the Block. So who's 7 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:17,079 Speaker 2: is this the guy? 8 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: Not the Block Today Show. 9 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 2: The Today Show, But who's the guy who put the 10 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 2: money up? 11 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: You know, the lambou guy, McLaren man. 12 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 2: Who buys all the houses in the block? Yeah? Right, 13 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 2: And he said if you called him mister Lamborghini or. 14 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 1: Something, Lamber McLaren man. No, he doesn't want to be 15 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: mister Lambo. He wants to be McLaren anyway. 16 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 2: He put a thing out saying, first person in the 17 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 2: media call me that gets fifty grand. Alex Cullen called 18 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 2: him that on air and got the money and has 19 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 2: now been removed from the network. 20 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: I thought, because there's one thing, if that was me, 21 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: I would have said it, but I wouldn't have taken 22 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: the money. I guess that's the next thing. That's the 23 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 1: next step. 24 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 2: But there is cash for comment. We are not allowed 25 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 2: to take money for mentions like that. 26 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: Not off the books that Alan Jones and John law 27 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: has got in big trouble for this. Years and years ago. Optors, 28 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: the banks, a whole bunch of companies paid money to 29 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: these broadcasts to do their daily editorial. Yeah, and this 30 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: is like talkback radio is supposed to be a fond 31 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: of information, and it's a journal there is a journalist 32 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: integral integrity to it. John Lawis at the time said 33 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: I'm not a journalist. I'm a DJ and that's what 34 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: I'm not a journalist either. Anything I say, like Joe 35 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: Rogan is not. 36 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 2: A journal change. The rules have change. We're not allowed 37 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 2: to take money. 38 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: I couldn't, but I know would I But also legally 39 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: endorsements though sure legal. 40 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 2: But that's within a block of ads, and legally it's 41 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 2: one thing. Ethically, it's quite different to have Alex who 42 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 2: is part of their news team. 43 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, but he said it in a joking way. 44 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 2: But the money. Yeah, But charl and I have come 45 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 2: down hard on him. 46 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: Obviously he's lost his job. He's a nice fellow. I 47 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: like him, but it was a stupid thing to do. 48 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: I guess I better get. 49 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 2: On Abrada Prada. I'd be happy for some, and your 50 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 2: soul basically underpants.
