Stephen Stevenson' stunt just that he said, oh gods, I've just done the math. And if Rafael he's talking about my little boy who's five, goes to that school in Brisbane. I'm assuming he's talking about the one on the Gold Coast, which is.
Like a part time they do homeschooling, but they also help kids with skateboarding and BMX.
It's called Level Up. Yeah, it's cool school man.
We've got two gold medals out.
Of that one.
Yeah.
And Steven says, if Raffi goes to that, he could be Australia's youngest gold medalist by the time we get to twenty thirty two.
Can he eight years from now? He's five?
No, he's five to eight years from now seventeen.
We've got a fourteen year old?
What eight years from now? Quick maps thirday.
Yeah, I was going anyway.
Yeah, he's thirteen.
Yeah, right, so he'll be younger than Orissa who was fourteen.
Wow, he could do it.
Oh my goodness, the rabbit holes were just about to go there.
Skateboarding or BMX. I mean, he's actually pretty good. He's a pretty good bike ride already. I don't know if I want I'm going down those ramps.
If BMX is like you've seen what's happened and her brother brother, it's scary. Yeah yeah, okay, Well have you got RAFFI this weekend?
I do?
Okay, can you tell me what you're doing.
We're going to the coast tonight for Friday night, so we've got a party up there. My cousin's coming back from the US, so we're seeing them. That's going to be interesting. I don't know if I want him to get into skateboarding.
I'm afraid.
Okay, see this, this is what I'm talking about. See. I try and change the subject, I try and move the conversation on, and Kip is stuck. Now you wait, we'll come back Monday and there'll be a whole like expos of how many people have been into spreadsheet, what what the what the financial gain is? How much somebody where that can be converted to bitcoin.
That young guy he could I've done.
He's building a house on the Gold Coast. He's rich.
Okay, okay, okay, here we are.
All right, let's do something else. We'll flip the topic at halftime. You want to them, we talk about what's.
Going to happen with Siena and Raffie over your weekend. You get your head in the game.
Okay, all right, let's do it at half time.
You're listening to the Robin and Kid podcast.
To finish, Scorio, it's joining us in studio.
You've got a black eves a black eye giring on there. It happened.
It's probably probably from the game.
But you're not going to say that I would have accepted Hudson, which is your two year.
Old, from the game. Yeah, I got a head clash.
Now you're looking you're be tired today. I know you had to be golf day yesterday, but I know.
That please pretty much pretty much half.
The team here, anyone that's got kids that go to your daycare is off because of gastro which is going around. I know I got the email yesterday from Raffish and just so you know it's around, so everyone's freaking out.
Everyone's waiting for it to come. Have you your kids alright, you're.
Clear taken must have passed at the email. You're okay, our kids are all good. We're just going to have it two months of yes at the house.
Can I ask you about your parenting because I've been piling on Kip this week. For the first time he got to babysit both of his children at the same time alone, So the seven week old and the five year old with with mixed success. Yes, I will say, and I have been. I have been absolutely given a crack at him. But I'm just wondering what's happened to you? How many times you looked out to both of your children alone?
A few like I early on Tig and obviously you know, she was trying to say home, but I was trying to say, like, you know, go out, you.
Know, I just have fun, and know she did, and no, she did. It was just more like, you.
Know, the timing and trying to you know, work it in if we was home and when her friends are going out.
But like, yeah, I would have done it a handful of time. Okay, you know, probably does the times.
But when I do it, it's funny because you know, when she has the kids on her own, it's like a nightmare, just runs the mark and just ruins everything right. And when I have them, she rings, She always like, how's it going on?
It's sweet?
Is sweet?
Let run a mark discipline?
But I do.
But they listened to me like they're probably scared of me. But you know they actually listened to me because I've always tried to be there.
How did you manage to get them to be scared of you?
I can't.
Well, it's either scared or they The funny thing is they try and do things on my back.
Yeah I know they're doing it, but it makes me laugh so much.
I love it, Like it's they plan things like like you be doing.
Something, Hucks will come in and stare at me and close the door. Yeah I can't see him close the door in the room, and then hell, I can hear him run back. We could run back and money days quick quickly?
Has anything gone wrong when you've been in charge? Not like any hospital visits.
Any hospital broken bone, They might get a few bumps and bruises.
Here and there, But oh gosh, I'd love taking him yeah, that time they broke both their legs and dislocated their nose. But no, no, no, just a few bumps.
It's either that or I just go the next door neighbors and his his wife and daughter looks after the kids, and I have a few beers with him.
So okay, you outsource the parenting.
That is fad.
Yeah, very good, very good.
And you know, until taking that, until this moment when she's.
Just she goes, what are you doing, I'm like, oh, I'm just going to go next door.
She's been he's been friendly, but he wanted six fives out.
It's brave kicking over the sad reality for him is isn't eighty two year old Nikki next door?
She's not a lot of help. You're a lovely.
Lady's having beers with Nikki.
She's on the darry side. He can have a couple of those.
Now, coming up, we need to talk to chry about what happened on the weekend with the bronze and there was a bit of an altercation on the field.
So want to see if everyone's friends will do that after this.
The Robin and Kit podcast.
Coyotes is with us right now.
We want to finish.
But now the rest of the team, they flew out yesterday, do they of course? So no game for you this weekend?
Why oh no, they just went with someone else for the weekend.
So oh yeah, that's crap.
I didn't play that great.
And I guess it's getting to that part of the season and I'm at that part of my career to where you know, you probably can't have a bad game.
So how is the feeling around the team, because last weekend that that was definitely it. That's like, okay, we can't make the eight, we can't be in the finals the season.
Yeah yeah, so.
As our results and win every game, and yeah, I know that. So you're still trying to keep the belief and okay, they just say you want to get a good performance and you want to get something out of it. So like, boys, just got to go out there and play really good game of footage And.
Let's talk about the moment on the field where Rezy this is.
It was a pretty pivotal moment the Broncos worst trying to mount a comeback. Recey Walsh was trying to take the game by the scruff of the neck. He threw a pass to you, which personally I thought was a ship pass. Excuse me, but it was down around your knee. You didn't take the pass. You got tackled straight away anyway, even if you had taken it. And then he yelled at you on the ground. So what did he say?
He was just angry because I'd not running the wrong line. But it was one of those things where at training we have different amount of defenders in front of us, and there was there was four, and he called a play like he was saying, popline right, and I tried to get his attendance on who, but he was looking and talking to run out at the time and didn't get his attention, And just so who you want me to pop on?
Like two or three?
And he just sort of he never said the number, like the player to pop on. I called the play, so I just ended up running in between the players and then he's through the pass to me and it was a pretty hard pass, but yeah, and like honestly, he's he's wanted to do that, but I have.
No him and I a fine like so in that moment he yelled at you, you feel bad.
He was just getting into me, and it's just his emotion like you know, so he just pretty much got up me for running the wrong line like that was. That was basically And it's just because he's so passionate, so he cares so much like he's.
Just I like that you kind of defend him rather than try and defend yourself.
Even after the game, he come to me and said, sorry, we are all good, like he come to me straight away. He even text me when I got home and I said, mate, we are all good. Like I said, I ran the wrong line, I said, and you know you fuel a hard pass word. It doesn't matter, mate, I'm like, we're fine. I said, I love your emotion. I said, I know you care, and that's it. I said, I'd rather be emotional and care. I said, if you didn't, then or that wouldn't happen.
So I wish I wish those were the questions after the game. I wish that was the commentary that we have around football, because it isn't. That is actually so much. I judge you guys so much better for that conversation you've just had than any of the crap I see it comes out about footballer is behaving badly, Like I'm sure that happens all the time.
It does, and everyone that has emotional and cares so much, it would come across differently. You know, yes, when you're watching it, like because you don't know what they saying.
I was mad. I was mad for you, but I was really and.
You don't know the relationship that they have. That's just the hardest part with when you're watching something.
What did he text you? And what did you text back?
He just said, yeah, he just said sorry. I honestly, it's fine. Just don't read anything. Don't look at what everyone else was saying. Because I said, between us, we're fine.
I'm like, I'm not great. Yeah, we're all good.
So this is why Corey is one of the statesmen of the game. Yeah, and that's great advice.
Don't read, don't read social media, stay away from it because if you guys are fine and you're communicating fine, that's what matters.
And I wish I do. I genuinely wish that there were far more commentators in the rugby league world who would actually ask those questions because I think it would change the perception of the game. And you guys have such a bad rap at the time, but actually when the teammates come together and you do that with such respect and such clarity. Man, that's awesome.
So thank you for I've Actually I was going to put something up on my socials yesterday or day before and I was like, no, it's it's fine, I said.
Because you were trying to protect him.
I know.
I just wanted people to sort of lay off it a bit, like's, yeah, he's just a very passionate player and that's what you need, and that's what our club needs, and that's what we want, and we don't want him to stop doing what he does.
Reckon they fight up for a win this weekend.
Yeah, definitely.
Okay, it's okay.
Wake up with Robin and Kid.
Our next guest is elite singer of the Legends, who you might know from this anthem from the first or if we take it back to two only twelve with this belt and now the Script is coming back to Australia for the first time in nearly three years. You're coming in hot with their new album Satellites.
Turphy and with over.
Ten billion streams, these Brits are coming in very hot today. Robert and Kip welcome lead singer Danny O'Donaghue.
Were just called you a brit.
Oh my goodness, did you hear that, Danny?
Well did I?
I thought you were talking about the five briff that we've been nominated for that. Okay, okay, wow, No, the bricks are coming in hot because we've just got a brit for being for doing a dan Streams in England.
So that must have been wanting, Is that right?
Yes, it must have been that we'll let him off. You're very I want to go near the Ireland.
You do not.
You know, we've been watching a lot of of the Olympics over the last couple of days.
Do you get into the mate?
Oh?
Come on, because Islands another country.
Like there was like fake gold medals.
Island's another country like us that that's above their way. You've got four gold Island three bronze, like for for a little country.
Island gives it a red hot guy, don't they.
We're like tenth in this in the out of all the countries, we're tenth in the metal race right now. Yeah, okay, with bloody amazing considering you know, out for drinking isn't in the Olympics, you know what I mean?
Telling the Olympics burn. Imagine if sunburns were in you kill us?
You do know what number Australia is though, don't you what? Three?
Number?
Three?
Really?
Well?
Yeah, I mean yeah, that's bloody great. I'm gonna say, yeah, but you're an island. Now, we're on Ireland.
Yeah, by water, We're arounded by water. You guys drink as much as we do as well.
So okay.
I feel like the affinity between Australians and irishmen is beyond anything else. Like I feel like, I don't know, maybe the world feels that about Ireland. Is that the world that feels that you're that they're close to the island? Or is am I actually feeling this affinity?
See here's the thing.
The world, yes, does think that they're close sustinity to Ireland, but Australians have the claim for it, as in, like the Australians actually really we feel that a bit Australians.
Is what I mean.
Say love it, you know what I'm saying.
Like the world feels like, oh, we're all friends with the Irish actors, an Irish earl in the bar, everyone's like one sixteenth Irish or whatever.
Yes, but if there's an Australian there.
Irish people look at Australian we.
Know, we know, you know, get the same humor. Yeah, we get we know what's going on.
You know what I'm saying.
I get it. Yeah.
Is that why you've chosen to do your Brisbane concert on Australia Day.
Yeah, that's exactly why to me, Yes, and my knowledge and now that that would have been the best day.
It is perfect, I mean and yeah is that a winery? I mean, it is.
Gonna gets so drunk right.
Think about it.
Proba people are going to be wasted.
By the sun.
Yeah.
It would be the first concert that was ever canceled by the audience. It's we're too drunk to go on the audience, Like thirty minutes beforehand. The whole audience are going to saying, sorry, we have a canceling. It's exactly difficult.
And you love it right, I love it?
Yeah? Yeah.
Well, Satellites, the new album drops next week, so that's on Friday the sixteenth.
Tickets are on sale. If you would like to.

Please, when you're in Brizymane, drop in. We'd love to see you.
We'd love to see your absolutely awesome.
Thanks mate.
Thanks guys, you're.
Listening to the Robin and Kit podcast.
We were just talking with Danny O. Donohue from the Script and there's more of that chat available on the podcast. Role and keep it on demand because he's a he's a funny man and he's also a deep man.
Oh he's a great guy for anyone who's a passionate fan of the Script. You all know that. Of course, one of the members of the trio died only last year and he talks about how they're going to honor him. But we wanted a massive fan because they are coming on Australia Day to A Day on the Green. We are all going to be there screaming out yes.
And I think you are going to be joining us.
Venita out of Bow Desert.
Nice now, you know what Corey was just telling us he has not been to out the Sera May and A Day of the Green.
You been there before, I have been there.
I mean, if you live in Brisbane.
You've got to do. It's it's madness.
I know. A Day on the Green there is so epic and their lineups each year are fantastic and the script are going to be part of it, and Vanetta, you better come party with all of us. Okay, And I think we should take on Danny's challenge.
Robin, maybe we should try and cancel the content.
It's so blind that the audience cannot do the show first time.
You know.
Yeah, that's damn love.
A challenge from an irishman, the Robin and Kit Podcast.
And now an update from the Games that.
Cannot be named O kis ninety seven three does not hold the commercial roads to mention these games.
Yes, it'll be nice once they're all over, we'll be able to say the O word again. But right now we just have to talk about Sports Fest in Paris.
I'll be really sad when they're over. My whole life has changed to watch what's going on, and I get super excited because we get up at the right time for Paris. So as soon as I opened my eyes, I put the Telly on and off and I'm getting the finals.
Yes, I know.
I threw on the TV early this morning before work and saw the Stingers, our water polo team getting through. The girls beat the USA. Yes, so the boys with the Sharks the girls are the Stingers.
Yeah, well the Stingers are doing better than the Sharks.
Yeah.
They really went to a like a shootout at the end, and I think the first like six for the US and Australia all went in and then eventually Australia got an unanswered goal and moved on through.
It's so brutal. I used to play water polo in high school and I loved it because I'm quite a strong swimmer. But water polo doesn't. It just requires stamina, yeah, because you're in the water, you're trading water, and then you've got to raise yourself up and you've got to elevate really high to be able to shoot. So every and everyone's capable of shooting, you know, obviously except the goal defender like their goalie.
So anyone could have a shot.
Yeah, and so you know, we used to practice, but often the thing was that I wasn't the world's greatest shooter, but I could be the world's greatest bouch because you try and take out everyone.
Else, so they send you into scrap.
Yeah, you scrap, you scrap, like you know how in their ball they change, they check their nails. Well in water polo, I mean, look, it's probably not like that at all. Now it's been a farewell since I was in high school. But we would have to wear double togs because wedgies like if you can't stop them, and you'd always try and do whatever you're going to do to stop them underwater so you don't get busted, right, and you like you so in our team, and this was all of the high school girls, wasn't just us. So wherever the play was, you would try and take out the more dominant players somewhere where the ref wasn't looking right, and so you'd weggy them. And so we would wear double togs so that they if they weggied, they'd only get one and you'd still be able to be Okay.
We literally inside you no, right, So that's why they were.
But now the togs have evolved that you can actually have the built in weggie, so they can't really do any and yeah, they're so.
Die they start with a wedge. Yeah, you know, it's interesting.
I've been following Tilly Kerns on Insta since the start of the Olympics and because she's really funny and gives a lot of inside inside the village and this is this is how dumb I field now because then I'm watching the I'm watching the game and I see rugby union legend ex captain Phil Kerns watching in the crowd.
I go, oh, that's cool, Phil Kurns is there.
And then I've just put the names together and gone, oh, that's Tilly's dad, you idiot.
Do you know what? There's been a lot of people where there's generational Olympians, like, for example, the Fox family. I mean, I love the fact that Dad Fox, who's the commentator for Australia in the kayaking and the canoeing and all that sort of stuff, it's the only one without a medal. Now, yes, mum's Mum Fox, who's their coaches medled for France only bronze though not.
Gold like the girl two girls yep, and dad got nothing. It is amazing how often athletes sort of breed athletes. I don't know whether it's just in the jeans or if it's the thing that they value so highly so the kids grow up valuing it as well also.
But with that sort of sport like canoeing and stuff, you can do it recreationally on your weekend, so the kids would just be part of whatever their parents are doing because it's a fun thing to do.
Can they all go out kayaking down here water rapids?
I do, And I would love to see who's the most competitive, Probably Jes.
Yeah, probably yeah, although although no Amy, I mean she came through when it came to the competitive kayaking allowed elbows.
And the other thing I really loved overnight was who's one hundred meter American?
Lyles? Lyles?
Yes, soon he won the hundred meters, but he was in the two hundred, which is supposed to be his favorite.
And the record holder, and there was so much speculation about him going in and he was talking trash like they do in particular, and he came third. But it wasn't until the end of the race where he was taken away in a wheelchair, that the commentators went to his mom, because he was raised by a single mum, and when he won the hundred, he went straight to his mother. Yes, so that's you know, that's lovely, And she said, no, no, no, you don't understand. He's got COVID, right, COVID Yeah, and they wheel him up.
Yeah, and again his mum and dad both sprinters. See it's in the genes and we should actually since we're mentioning that rache A race. Congratulate Tobogo from Botswana who won the two hundred meters exactly. He won the two hundred meters. It's their first and only medal. Oh yeah, so they're fifty third on the medal count. So Tobogo, he's come out of nowhere and ran a beautiful race and one of two hundred.
So the Fox family have more medals than Botswana.
Yes, for Botswana only two and a half million.
That's that's so impressive.
Yes, wake up with Robin and kid.
So chatting with the coach at Level Up Skate Park and Academy eight A.
You got us, mate, Yes.
Good morning.
How are you excellent?
How good are you? You must be stoked.
Oh, we have stoked beyond belief the community Level Up. You know, the way we all came together around Arissa just to support and seeing their witness to the amazing accomplishments that she's performed. I just want to I'm not Arissa's coach, per se, I'm one of the coaches at the academy. Trevor Ward is her coach. And that scene of her picking her up after winning gold, to all of us, that meant everything because Trevor's dedicated his life towards creating these opportunities for young people like Arissa, And yeah, it's a really special and powerful.
Thing to be.
You sound like you sound like you've had a couple of big days. It's been a pretty pretty exciting couple of days.
Mat.
Yeah, I think I screamed myself wars on the night. So, yeah, I'm just hanging in there.
I'm so curious about this school. I didn't know you existed on the Goldie. How does it work? These kids skate for a period of time and then do school for a period of time.
That's right. We often the kids will come in and skate before school starts at nine am, and we work through a distance curriculum with the kids. So we have certified teachers on campus that we run through their educational component in the morning and then in the afternoon they run through a high performance training program.
So, with Arissa being a gold medalist at fourteen, at what age did she start When did she come to you?
She first started training with trev at the age of eight. Yeah, she'd come from a background in surfing, which I guess helped her in some ways feel confident on the board. But she's an amazing role model for all of the young kids in the academy because she just comes in and it doesn't matter how young the kids are, because they look up at her like she was a hero and that was before this, and she'll just take time out and talk to them and skate with them and yeah, she's the she's such a great young human being.
And let's remember she's fourteen.
Incredible.
Yeah, yeah, have.
You got room for more students? I feel like you're going to have a busy year next.
Year while we are planning for that, and we're looking and expanding internationally as well, and so it's pretty exciting. And right now we're really just looking forward to being Trav return in the next couple of days a coach, and then Arissa next week, and just celebrating this moment because it's huge for all of us nine year old I have in my classroom. They can see and feel and taste and touch the success that a Riss has had and for them to aspire towards Los Angeles twenty eight and Brisbane thirty two is it's a really powerful thing, you know.
And you've got to say that with double gold in both the men's and the women's skating. We would have to be the number one country right now.
Well, look, I mean we're punching above what we're doing so many sports. I think we have such a really great culture in the skate community on the Gold Coast and that come out of our surf culture the way Rissa and Keegan Parmers from our local community. I was skating with him when he was a six year old, and yeah, I mean it's huge.
And Keekers moving back to the Gold Coast too. I know he's in San Diego now, but I know he's building on the Gold Coast. It's just going to be such a hub of skaters and BMX as well.
Gold medals and gold medals.
Congratulations on everything, Ada, and thanks for joining us.
Mate, my pleasure.
Thank you.
Have a great day.
Keep that voice the Robin and Chi Podcast. Halfway through the podcast, so yes, I mentioned we drive him to the Sunshine Coast. We've got my cousin Adam and Shannon his his wife, coming back from they live in Atlanta, Georgia.
Oh wow, have I got a twang?
No?
Yes, no, that well, Shannon's Americans, so she does have an accent, but it's not Atlanta.
Georgia, Georgia rees with this bone?
Is she from Georgia, Georgia, Georgia?
Do it very well? I should be. I lived there. I lived nearby to Georgia.
Yeah.
I lived on the border of North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, in a tiny little town called Silver, which was in the Appalachian Mountains.
Oh right, oh mate.
There were people that, you know, you know how we talk about people who have never less Tasmania. There were people that have never left Silver.
Yeah, those mountain folk, they're different. Huh. They are they hillbillies.
Kind of from the mountains.
Yeah.
You know when Dolly talks about her childhood, it's that.
Yeah, right amongst those people. Yeah, okay, yeah, no, they've managed to remain.
You know, I've got a theory. If you have whatever accent you have at twenty, that's the that's your accent.
No, go seven seven.
Yeah. One of the saints Alisi, what's his name? Oh, he said, show me a boy at seven, and I'll show you the man.
No, that's not true, not with accent's ha done work.
No, except though, that if you come from a different country after the age of seven, you will retain some of the accent.
A little bit, but no, I'm telling you in my experience, it's about eighteen to twenty.
Because listen, look at that skateboard kick. What's his name, Keegan? He grew up, was born and raised on the Gold Coast, moved to he was in the not south of la what is it? San Diego?
He was there for he was a big zoo two years. Is American accent is thick? My cousin other cousin. Two of my cousins moved to America. One of them was twenty that's Adam stray An accent. One of them was sixteen tash American accent.
Wow, they pick it up because you're hanging out with I think it's something to be at school and wanting to join in. You reckon, I reckon. I thought it.
Would be something around puberty or even younger, because that's when if you are bi lingual. Like it was funny. Olivia was saying to me my boyfriend who grew up in Belgium and France and speaks French like a French person.
Yeah, he was.
It's he gets a bit offended because his kids who had French as their first language, yeah, right through till they started school.
Yep.
But now they had they speak French like Australians and have a really strong Australian.
Australian accent with their does not like it?
Yeah, yeah, no, I think you can't have something about being a kid growing up and wanting to fit in with the other kids, you change your accent, but once you're an adult it's stuck.
I have I have no context with that other than other people's.
Jam Look at Jimal and moved to here when I was twenty. He's been here for fifty years and he's still an Irishman. Can't Albert.
Yeah, but it kind of works for his gig. Yeah, Jimohan with an Australian accent would not be jamal On.
By the way, speaking of Irishman, if you get a chance to check out our interview, I think we'll put it up separately with Danny o'donahue from the script he was on the show today, but the full interview.
He he's a cracker.
He's a cracker, very very good fun but he's also knows how to get serious like all good Irishman.
Yeah, so we asked him about the fact that one of their members has died. He died last year, and it was a trio the script, Yeah, Mark, Mike, She and Matthew Mark Mark. I think it was Sorry, that's terrible because I love the script. But you know, he was able to talk about how he gets through some of the concerts and it's passion, right, and it's love. And those two were friends when they were twelve and they created the band together, so and how irish. Rather than replace him, which they felt they couldn't, they made it a four.
And Britt Yeah, just changed the whole band.
Yeah, because to add two people kind of added up to one of Mark.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's so good and that and then some also some fascinating boxing topics, which I was very surprised to find.
Out about him.
So that's all on that interview. And by the way, just before we go, you asked what I was doing on the weekend with the kids. Yeah, we're driving to the Sunshine Coast with This will be the longest drive we've ever tried with the end of the seven week old. So it's an hour and ten minutes to where we're going Bertinia.

Thank you for my you're listening to the Robin and Kid podcast.
So on Wednesday I asked you because you're whinging about the Australian national anthem, a fair winge.
I will give you thank you.
Our anthem is not the most you know, inspiring.
No, especially compared to what's going on around the world, and the fact that we can change it ours is not that it's not like we're you know, we went to war under or whatever it's around from the seventies, right.
So you I set you the challenge to write a new one. You picked a Hunterson Collectors song and actually did a cracking job.
Here is a bit.
Started out with the First Nations people, then they.
Joined the mob from all Love.
For this Big World now where eleven is won on this land of Australia.
So good, so good, and Kelsey, our social media guru, then put a video together with you singing and she got lots of Australian pop.
Yeah we're talking about it. We just go, what do we need? Okay, we'll get a shot of Corey.
Worthingturn if you get the boys from the Inspired Unemployed. And then we said, what about that guy with the succulent Chinese meal?
Okay if you don't know who we're talking about, this was made famous in nineteen ninety two.
Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest How I look at the headlocking?
Well?
What three? What is the charge eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal? Oh that's nice? Headlocks up? Yes, I see that. You know your judo.
Well, so that was a man getting arrested out in front of a Chinese restaurant.
Now his name is Jack Carlson and what is just weird is on Wednesday the day we played all this and put that video out and no one's spoken about this guy for decades.
He dies.
Isn't it sad?
The succulent Chinese mealman has gone?
And in his eighties? Was he eighty eighty two?
But the other thing I didn't realize when kind of researching him. That clip was taken outside of a Chinese restaurant in Fortitude Valley right here. He was a Brisbane guy, a serial prison escaper, a small time crook. He shot to fame in two thousand and nine after a news clip of his arrested a Chinese restaurant in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley.
Isn't that our type of criminal?
Though?
Likes he's small time and he escapes from Jailia, He's just a bit of Allerica.
That's what we do in Australia.
Yes, his but his like his turn of his turn of phrase and the eloquence with which he speaks as he's been dragged.
Into a cop car at the front of a Chinese restaurant. Let's every one more cableman.
Is the manifest headl charge eating on me a Chinese.
It just makes me want to have a succulent Chinese so r I p valet rest In.
He's Jack Carlson the.
Robin and Chit podcast.
Robin's I can't say anything about that because I don't press the button. So I'm just gonna let that one go through with the keeper. This is really interesting Jalo and Ben Affleck. Apparently their wedding rings are off, and then they're on, and then they're off, and everyone's just watching with bita breath. But something has come out that just struck me and I thought I should ask you about this. They're claiming that their reunion was actual closure on their regular relationship. So remember they got together, Yes, they got engaged, they broke up, And if you've watched j Loo's documentary, you'll know that she's addicted to.
That cycle, yes, and particularly the start of the crazy love at the start of a.
Relationship, and that's what she craves. And then things get normal and she doesn't like it and she leaves. So what people are now claiming is that their marriage was actually what those two needed to let finally let go of each other. Elizabeth Taylor, you know, the iconic Hollywood actress, She had a habit of doing this. Marriages later Richard Burton twice, nearly three times. But do you think that? I mean, I can see how that would be closure. I mean it's a twenty million dollar expensive closure. Yes, but they came together, they got married, and then finally went actually you know that first time?
Yep.
Yeah, we were right, we were right, we should not have got married.
Yeah.
Do you like how did you have closure on your first two marriages?
Yeah?
I think the idea of going having a second bite of the chairry doesn't work for me.
It just seems crazy, Like you, if you.
Gave it a proper go at the start, why are you going back to see if things are different?
Well, I mean I don't. That doesn't make sense for me, and I tend to.
I mean for me, I guess I kind of burn bridges when things.
End, which has been difficult.
I've had to not burn bridges obviously with Emma because we've got a baby together, you know, So you don't.
Need closure on that because it will be never ending. No, it can't go back, good and Leanne. You don't on to.
Like where you know?
I think we had her on air last year, so we're polite to each other.
We're fine.
Was there closure in that for you having her on because you didn't know.
That was better actually having her on that did, Yeah, because we both like I think it took like ten years for us to go.
Hey, by the way, I'm sorry.
For what I did and I hope you forgive me, and blah blah blah, and we're all okay.
I'm not talking out of school because she said this on air. She cheated on you. Yeah, so it was you finding out and leaving, yes, and so then having her on air last year was for you to be able to go.
Actually, I'm okay, we're all fine.
Yeah, mate, that is a much cheaper way than doing it.
Yeah, than the way JAYL imagine that they're buying newcastles each.
I've got new McMansions, new cars. I mean, I guess they should be grateful that they didn't have kids.
Yeah, to get together. Yeah, although they I wonder how all the intermingled kids are feeling about this broadkup.
But they are saying that they've got places in their homes for each of their children, So maybe the children have actually got on better.
Yeah.
Maybe that's the closure and those two can just go. You know what, we gave it crack yes.
I'll be up the other wing of the house.
The Robin and Jit podcast.
I'm going to play you something here rong before we wrap up the show. Have I guess what?
This is?
Wonderful African singing?
It is, Yes, this and you won't have heard it ever before. Is the Botswana national anthem?
Oh how beautiful?
Yes, and it is going to be well.
It has been sung this morning at the Olympics for that first for the first time ever. I no, it would have been just the music, but a Botswan and one gold in like a really marquee event, the two hundred meters sprint. Wow, he beat the two Americans, including Lyles who won one hundred meters. Yeah.
But it's been revealed that poor old Lyles was running with COVID.
Yeah.
True, And then he got taken away in a wheelchair and it was his mom he said, do you know he's really sick? Which it does not take away from the Botswana I know that's the thing.
And you know what, his time was so good.
He ran it in nineteen secondsero point four to six, like he probably would have won even if Lyles.
Was really was really like it was so clampion.
It was really really good and so. And then I after hearing about Botswana getting a medal. His name, by the way, I'm going to pronounce his first name wrong. I'm sure is letsi le Tobogo, okay. And I went down a rabbit hole about a Botswana okay, with some Botswana facts.
Are you ready?
I'm so ready.
Okay.
So they're fifty third on the medal taling now with their one gold they fifty third.
So the Fox family, Yes, I'm beating there.
They are, but that's fine because only two point seven million Botswana.
Oh wow.
It's right in the middle of Africa.
Like if you think of the map of Africa, it's right in the middle, completely landlocked, which explains why they don't have any swimmers.
No, that's right.
It's like it's got the Kalahari Desert, big, like eighty percent of the Kalahari desert where the bushmen are.
It has a.
Huge salt flat. It was a British protectorate. It was never colonized by the British.
Oh so we just kind of promised to look after their borders.
Yet you know why, because there was nothing. There was nothing they wanted from Botswana. It was a pathway, so they wanted to keep it safe, but there was nothing.
There were they were going to South Africa.
All around it. There was places all around it that were mining, but they found nothing. In Botswana, however, Oh.
My god, this is what white men does people. This is the rabbit holes we go down often.
Twenty years ago they found diamonds. Okay, it's now one of the richest countries around. They export more diamonds than anywhere in the world. Last year they exported twenty million carrots of diamonds.
So is that what Leonardo DiCaprio's movie Black Diamond, Blood Diamonds, Blood Diamonds, Blotswana.
I don't think it was in Botswana's around there, Yeah, but no, it seems.
Like that sounds well, that's all about.
That's all about obviously, like using slave labor and stuff. Botswana seems like they've got it right. I don't know if they have, but they're building big cities. They used to have like dirt roads right.
Now, they've got cities. Now they've got money.
And when you've got great talent and you've got money, you get athletes.
Yeah, that's true.
And all of a sudden, we've got a gold medal.
See this is what happens during news and stuff, like Kip gets lost in his phone where meanwhile, I've just been quickly googling what the name of the national anthem is. Yes, blessed be this noble Land.
It is a beautiful anthem too.
Yeah.
Yeah, they's got diamonds.
It's very it's better than that. Yes, they are well blessed. It's better than our anthem.
I think. Yes, this is what happens to me. I know I'm gonna.
I know.
I've got a message from from Raffie's daycare.
My little boy is five, and they said, yeah, look he really struggles to focus until he finds something he likes and then he focuses like crazy.
Yeah.
The Robin and podcast.
He used producer cast with the best bits of the show this week.
It's been a bit of a biggie. First we kicked it. Let's kick it all school.
When Melbuddle said this breakdancing.
That's not a sport. I'll die on this hill. Yeah, you can call text email. I can dance, Robin. I was going off in a nightclub two weeks ago.
Am I eligible for selection?
Am I on the team?
Well you may get a breakdancer. And maybe next week we can see if you can evolve into being a potential Olympic break You know what, I might get the call up.
Not that easy, is it now?
Okay, So now she's kicking, She's trying to get the crowd involved. She's waving her arms about. She looks like a mother trying to teach a toddler how to have a tantrum. Thanks to my coach, Mikey told me everything I know. I've given that performance at.
Least thirty five percent one cap the last time.
I promet on he today, Maybe next time you could be girl to Keep's new OSSI Anthem started out with.
The first Nations people. Then they join the.
Mob from all though this big world now where living is won on this land Australia.
Next, it was Kip's turn to babysit his own kids. His words are not mine and his hot girlfriend Naomi got a well deserved night out. But who does she trust more to babysit Sienna, Kip or her mom.
Of course they trust her dad, but more relaxedive. It's just my mom. Brutal. Come on, that's not cool.
It's true, it's.
Tough, but fair but it's not cool.
Then Kip did a classic Well.
Kip, Megan Cool has been snubbed again. Her birthday was on Sunday and no one from the British Royal family wished her happy birthday.
That's a bit of a low blow, isn't it.
And you know you get the Facebook notification that someone's birthday that the Queen would have got it, Charlie would have got Charlie still have his Facebook out.
No, look, you can't help some people.
So then we had to give Kip at least one win this week.

Many and Robin spoke to New York Times best selling author Colleen Hooper.
You know her.
She wrote the smash hit movie It ends with Us. Oh, and she's besties with Blake Lively.
I'm not gonna lie. I was so nervous, and you know, when this started happening, because this book is so important to me, I just wanted them to do justice to the book for the readers. And I truly feel like they did. I feel like it captures those same emotions and the same heart. When they told me that Blake was going to play Lily, I was so excited, Like I think she did such a phenomenal job, and I think she's such a good actress.
