Speaker 1: I heart Podcasts. You can hear more gold one I
Speaker 1: four point three podcasts, playlist and listen live on the
Speaker 1: free iHeart app. Well, we have some exciting show news.
Speaker 1: I just presume that no one knew, but everyone knows
Speaker 1: our news. I'm just reading a message now from Jess Christian.
Speaker 1: I've just heard your big news. Congratulations. How do you
Speaker 1: all know?
Speaker 2: You didn't say it?
Speaker 3: I haven't said it. Who is saying my news? Who
Speaker 3: is out there we're scoundrel right now? Is doing our
Speaker 3: big reveal? This is really exciting news for us. And
Speaker 3: when I mean us, I don't just mean me and
Speaker 3: the team on the show. I mean everyone who listens
Speaker 3: to the show every day, whether you've come along recently
Speaker 3: or you've been there since the early days over seven
Speaker 3: years ago. We make the show with you guys every
Speaker 3: single day. Like the calls you just had the time wasters,
Speaker 3: We'll have an hour and a half the misheard lyrics
Speaker 3: on a Monday. So as much as it is a
Speaker 3: big moment for me and the team, it's also a
Speaker 3: really big moment for this city and the listeners to
Speaker 3: this show because from January next year we get to
Speaker 3: break new ground. Will be the first ever commercial breakfast
Speaker 3: show to go live to Australia. I actually can't believe
Speaker 3: we get to say these words. I've been dreaming about this.
Speaker 3: There hasn't been a day I haven't thought about this
Speaker 3: for the last seven years. I can't believe it's actually
Speaker 3: going to happen, that we are going to actually be
Speaker 3: a radio show that, hopefully, and that's what's in my heart,
Speaker 3: brings Australia together in the morning. The last seven years,
Speaker 3: we've woken Melbourne up together, and now we're going to
Speaker 3: be waking up the country one show at a time
Speaker 3: starting next year. So yes, Adelaide Perth, Coast to Coast,
Speaker 3: Perth to Brisbane and then Sydney from Melbourne, this radio
Speaker 3: show is going live next year and I couldn't be
Speaker 3: more excited.
Speaker 1: It cannot come soon enough. Next year. I can't believe
Speaker 1: that we get to continue what we've been doing for
Speaker 1: the last seven years. And I just want to say
Speaker 1: a big thank you to every single one of you
Speaker 1: who's been part of this very, very wild ride that
Speaker 1: has been my life for the last seven years. Because
Speaker 1: if you hadn't embraced a show, you've taken it into
Speaker 1: your homes, into your cars, into your kitchens and into
Speaker 1: your hearts. This wouldn't be happening. So as much as
Speaker 1: the bosses have allowed this opportunity, it's you have actually
Speaker 1: made it happen. So I hope you're proud for this show.
Speaker 1: You built the show. It's a very unique show. There'd
Speaker 1: be a lot of people that will say this won't
Speaker 1: be able to work. Carl and Jackie O tried to
Speaker 1: go into Melbourne and you've seen what's happened. There were
Speaker 1: two very very different shows. And I did hear seven
Speaker 1: years ago that this wasn't going to work. And the
Speaker 1: last seven years were showing me if you have a
Speaker 1: dream and you worn't hard enough, you just never know.
Speaker 1: Sometimes miracles happen. So that is our big news. John
Speaker 1: Moberdrivo picked me up this morning. You already knew, Jess
Speaker 1: already knows. Shane in Sydney messages me an hour ago,
Speaker 1: going can't wait to meet you next year in Sydney.
Speaker 2: How do you all know?
Speaker 1: I get the feene right now Melbourne ago and yeah, Christian,
Speaker 1: we read it over the weekend. Jones and Amanda ruins
Speaker 1: your reveal party on Friday on Jones and Amanda when
Speaker 1: it comes to the show being So this show is
Speaker 1: going to be national from January next year in Sydney.
Speaker 1: We are going to be replacing Jones and Amanda. Now.
Speaker 1: They've been a legendary radio show for not just Sydney
Speaker 1: but for Australia, and I think Amanda is one of
Speaker 1: the best to ever be on TV in the radio,
Speaker 1: and I just want to say huge thank you. They'll
Speaker 1: be handing over their show they've been doing for a
Speaker 1: very very long time to us, and so it's an
Speaker 1: honor to be a part of something new on the
Speaker 1: show that they've been doing together for a really long time.
Speaker 1: And I've got a lovely message from Amanda on Friday
Speaker 1: who just simply said, I'm glad the new guy is
Speaker 1: you now. I don't think you can be a new
Speaker 1: guy at fifty two, but I'm going to run with
Speaker 1: it Amanda and now Jones Amanda aren't going to be
Speaker 1: going anywhere. We get the national breakfast show on that
Speaker 1: same radio station Gold across Australia. You get Jones and
Speaker 1: Amanda on Drive Time one radio station. You get two
Speaker 1: great shows. You get Jones and Amanda on in afternoons
Speaker 1: and you get us on the breakfast show son. That
Speaker 1: is our big news. The reason why I'm telling you
Speaker 1: now really is just to say thank you. I am
Speaker 1: really excited, but it's actually more important to say thank
Speaker 1: you to everyone who's been a big part of the show.
Speaker 1: Also to say well done to Patsy Rio and the
Speaker 1: team have been with me for a very long time.
Speaker 1: I hope you're already proud as well. I can't wait
Speaker 1: for next year.
Speaker 3: I can't believe it.
Speaker 2: I can't believe it's actually happening.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well done, Patsy.
Speaker 2: Oh thank you mate. Honestly, never in my wildest dreams,
Speaker 2: especially in my fifties, did I think that this would
Speaker 2: come along. And you're right, it's thanks to the listeners.
Speaker 2: And I'm so excited to see what we can do.
Speaker 2: And then everyone around Australia is sharing their seems surreal
Speaker 2: to say that, sharing their lives as well and making
Speaker 2: the show as great, you know, as great at the
Speaker 2: show as it is. So I can't wait. I'm so excited.
Speaker 1: And to tell you what, you know, if you love
Speaker 1: doing the time waste that you really need to get
Speaker 1: a lot better this year because suddenly you've got a
Speaker 1: few extra cities. How are we going to mark them all.
Speaker 1: It's going to take an hour. You've certainly got Sydney, Adelaide,
Speaker 1: Perth and Brisbane all testing in for the time waste
Speaker 1: and she's going to get very very busy. But we
Speaker 1: can't wait. And of course we can't do without you.
Speaker 1: We'll be doing this together. We get to wake Australia up.
