00:00:00
Speaker 1: This is KISS Breakfast. You're on KISS. Good morning, Mikey, Amy Gerard, and Amy's got to hear the celeb news.
00:00:07
Speaker 2: Yes, I do. So it's been three years since Friends star Matthew Perry very sadly passed away. He was only 54 years old.
00:00:15
Speaker 1: Drug overdose.
00:00:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it was.
00:00:18
Speaker 1: the acute.
00:00:19
Speaker 2: Effects of ketamine with accidental drowning.
00:00:22
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, because he was in a spa or something.
00:00:25
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:00:25
Speaker 3: Horrible.
00:00:25
Speaker 2: So five individuals, including his live-in personal assistant, two medical doctors, and a supplier known as the Ketamine Queen, were all prosecuted. They all pleaded guilty, and all five of them are now in jail.
00:00:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, because if you provide someone with drugs and.
00:00:43
Speaker 2: It kills them. And they die, yeah.
00:00:44
Speaker 1: It's your fault, yeah.
00:00:46
Speaker 2: It's so sad. And I think he tried so hard to get sober and, yeah, it's really, really tragic.
00:00:51
Speaker 1: They were preying on him. Yeah.
00:00:53
Speaker 3: He wrote, his latest book was him talking about being sober.
00:00:57
Speaker 1: Oh, really?
00:00:58
Speaker 4: Yeah. Just didn't last.
00:01:00
Speaker 3: Well, some of it might have been fabricated. He might have been, you know, continuing on.
00:01:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, the whole time.
00:01:05
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:01:06
Speaker 1: A lot of addicts do it in secret.
00:01:07
Speaker 3: You never know, you know.
00:01:08
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, the fact that, you know, he's living in personal assistance. How did two medical doctors, how do they.
00:01:16
Speaker 1: But Michael Jackson's doctor was the same. He was giving him like basically anesthetic and they got him. I think he went to jail as well. Yeah. He was paid. I believe he was paying him 200 K a year from memory just to supply a table. Yeah. And you know, the doctor's thinking, oh, well I'm seeing the money.
00:01:34
Speaker 2: Anyway, they're doing a kind of Netflix series on Matthew. It's called The One About Matthew Perry. So you know all the Friends series, each episode was the one about Ross and Rachel, the one about Phoebe.
00:01:51
Speaker 1: This is The One About Him.
00:01:53
Speaker 2: The One About Matthew Perry. The trailer for the series dropped overnight. Have a listen.
00:01:57
Speaker 4: All great stories have comedy and tragedy in them. And that certainly was Matthew's story. I was extremely happy when I got famous.
00:02:07
Speaker 1: Then I was like, uh-oh, this didn't fix what's inside me.
00:02:10
Speaker 4: This didn't do what I thought it was going to do. My brother would talk about that feeling of emptiness or loneliness that he couldn't quite fill. He spent $ 7 million trying to get sober. That's how seriously he took his disease.
00:02:25
Speaker 1: Well, there you go, Sean. $ 7 million trying to get sober.
00:02:29
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:02:29
Speaker 3: And obviously he'd struggled with this since the 90s.
00:02:33
Speaker 2: Even before Friends? Even before.
00:02:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. He had just struggled with it forever. And like I said, his book that he was promoting at the time when he died, I'm pretty sure it sort of wraps up with him saying, look, I'm sober now. And obviously only to find out the way that he ended up going.
00:02:50
Speaker 2: So sad.
00:02:51
Speaker 1: A lot of people will want to watch that on Netflix. That'll be a big docker. Yeah, definitely.
00:02:55
Speaker 2: And Andy Cohen, he's the American television host, best known for hosting the late night talk shows, Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, you know, with all the reality stars of Salt Lake City and all that on Bravo.
00:03:08
Speaker 1: I think he produced a bunch of it, didn't he, Chelsea? Yeah, so.
00:03:12
Speaker 1: He also executive produced the Real Housewives series. There you go. Big sort of gay character. He's outlandish and stuff.
00:03:19
Speaker 2: And he's doing really well for himself. His net worth's about 50 mil.
00:03:22
Speaker 1: Oh, that's good.
00:03:23
Speaker 2: So he's doing okay.
00:03:24
Speaker 1: 50 mil US.
00:03:26
Speaker 2: 50 mil US dollars. Anyway, Andy's got two kids, a seven and a four-year-old, and he's just revealed how much he pays his babysitter.
00:03:34
Speaker 1: Oh, okay. So he's worth 50 mil. What does he pay?
00:03:38
Speaker 2: He pays his babysitter $ 30 an hour.
00:03:41
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't get rich by writing a bunch of checks.
00:03:45
Speaker 2: But, like, that is wild because I've got one extra kid and I pay more than that. Yeah.
00:03:50
Speaker 1: He's ripping them off.
00:03:51
Speaker 2: He is ripping off.
00:03:52
Speaker 1: What do you pay for a babysitter?
00:03:54
Speaker 2: I pay $ 50 an hour.
00:03:55
Speaker 1: Is that kind of standard?
00:03:57
Speaker 2: I think... Like if you're getting a proper babysitter, like if I'm getting my next-door neighbours who are just young teenagers and I'll do all the grunt, I'll do dinner and shower them, they just have to kind of put them into bed, they kind of get $ 20 in bags of clothes from me, right?
00:04:14
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, yeah.
00:04:15
Speaker 2: But if you're paying like a... preschool educator or an actual babysitter.
00:04:20
Speaker 1: Someone in the babysitter's club.
00:04:21
Speaker 2: Oh, the babysitter's club, yeah. I think it's anywhere between, like for me and three kids, it's anywhere between $ 45 and $ 50 an hour. I always just round up because my three kids can sometimes be a handful.
00:04:34
Speaker 1: Chelsea's got the average. Yeah, so apparently the Australian average for a babysitter is $ 25 to $ 40 an hour. But how old are those people? We don't know.
00:04:44
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:04:45
Speaker 1: And you're going above to about $ 50. I, yes, I will.
00:04:50
Speaker 2: Like I had to get a babysitter to come on Monday because Ryan had to go to work and I had to be in here. So she had to be at my house at 7.30.
00:04:56
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, for her to be worth her while. Yes. But that guy's paying $ 30. $ 30.
00:05:03
Speaker 2: He was chatting to an American interior designer by the name of Jeff Lewis, to which Jeff called him cheap.
00:05:08
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:05:09
Speaker 2: And Jeff said, I probably would have given her $ 100 for two hours with two kids.
00:05:13
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:05:14
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:05:14
Speaker 1: But he is. He's ripping them off.
00:05:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know, some people who earn the most money, they are quite often the tightest.
00:05:24
Speaker 1: Oh, I know. I know someone who's really well off. So do I. And they're a real freaking tight ass.
00:05:29
Speaker 4: So do I.
00:05:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: This is KISS Breakfast. You're on KISS. Good morning, Mikey, Amy Gerard, and Amy's got to hear the celeb news.
