00:00:00
Speaker 1: On Canberra's Hit 104.7, it's Rod and Gabby Racked.
00:00:05
Speaker 2: There are some pretty confronting photos doing the rounds at the moment. They're literally everywhere. Every news site that you see, they're all over my socials.
00:00:12
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:00:13
Speaker 2: It's doing the rounds of an Aussie fitness star by the name of Joanna from Melbourne who went to Beijing to compete in a High Rocks challenge. Now, High Rocks is like.
00:00:23
Speaker 1: CrossFit.
00:00:24
Speaker 2: It's CrossFit, but it's like a hectic, hectic competition where... You have to be a super athlete to be able to complete all of the tasks that you need to complete in order to finish the competition. Because you can't just do one thing. You've got to do it all.
00:00:41
Speaker 1: To finish.
00:00:42
Speaker 2: I've never done it, but that's what I've heard.
00:00:43
Speaker 1: Well, we've seen it and we know we couldn't do it and so we know.
00:00:45
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:00:46
Speaker 1: To complete it, you would need to be one of the most elite athletes walking the planet. To win it, you need to push yourself to levels that humanity goes, I'm not going there. Yeah. And only rare human beings.
00:01:00
Speaker 2: Get there. Especially like an international competition like this. Like there's local ones that I'm sure aren't as.
00:01:07
Speaker 1: To beat the best in the world? Yes. To have the eye of the tiger to go, I will not be beaten by anything or anyone.
00:01:14
Speaker 2: Including Boo. So Joanna did actually win. She won the entire competition. She is now the number one in the world for women in high rock. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. But that's not why she's making the headlines. The reason she's making the headlines is because during the competition she had what people are calling a bowel incontinence syndrome.
00:01:37
Speaker 1: Right, which happens at the highest stages of exertion.
00:01:39
Speaker 2: Like super marathons and stuff.
00:01:41
Speaker 1: Happens all the time.
00:01:42
Speaker 2: And so she had poo running down her legs.
00:01:45
Speaker 1: Right.
00:01:47
Speaker 2: The problem with that is poo is very unhygienic. And you're sharing equipment and track. This is not running outside where it's just part of nature. It's an indoor activity and the mats, the rowing machine, the medicine balls, things were getting infected with what is a pretty feral substance.
00:02:11
Speaker 1: Right.
00:02:13
Speaker 2: That's gross.
00:02:14
Speaker 1: Sure. We're not popping down to the local gym. And having a workout and electing not to go to the bathroom. This is the highest of heights.
00:02:24
Speaker 2: No, no, but other people are competing as well, so you're putting them at risk.
00:02:28
Speaker 1: They're putting themselves at risk.
00:02:29
Speaker 2: No, they're getting put at risk.
00:02:30
Speaker 1: They're signed up for this competition.
00:02:32
Speaker 2: So what happened was, as she was competing, they then closed down those pieces of equipment and whatever else, and they ended up fully sanitising them for the next day's competition and stuff. But the organisers have come out to say that, We didn't know how to deal with this situation. It hasn't arisen before. It's not in the rule book. We weren't sure. Like we have medical practices and processes and procedures, but this was a bit out of that realm. We didn't know what to do. In future, we will absolutely be stopping that athlete and making them clean themselves up. And they're not going to be able to continue competing in that state. So they've changed the rule book.
00:03:09
Speaker 1: My advice to the organizer. Maybe running the most elite, challenging physical pursuit in the history of humankind is not for them.
00:03:20
Speaker 2: You've got to look after everyone's health.
00:03:22
Speaker 1: That's fine.
00:03:23
Speaker 2: These are elite athletes. You can't be letting everyone get sick.
00:03:26
Speaker 1: Set up multiple stations.
00:03:27
Speaker 2: There is multiple stations, but they're all being used.
00:03:31
Speaker 1: Not by the one person who's got some poo running down their leg.
00:03:34
Speaker 2: You've got to set the boundaries. Yes.
00:03:37
Speaker 1: You know who's complaining about... And I know, because I've read about it, a bunch of... It sounds like a lot of the other athletes are complaining.
00:03:44
Speaker 2: I would be complaining about it if I was one of the other athletes.
00:03:47
Speaker 1: I'd be complaining about it if I was a loser as well.
00:03:50
Speaker 2: But there's other.
00:03:51
Speaker 1: There's only one winner.
00:03:52
Speaker 2: No, there's not. There's different... like categories, like there's women, there's men, there's probably different age groups. There's not just one winner. And you could be changing the course for the other categories.
00:04:05
Speaker 1: I will listen to the complainees.
00:04:07
Speaker 2: Can we talk about what her response was?
00:04:09
Speaker 1: When they win.
00:04:09
Speaker 2: Do you know what her response was?
00:04:11
Speaker 1: I can't wait for this.
00:04:12
Speaker 2: She's put up a post.
00:04:13
Speaker 1: I can't wait for this.
00:04:14
Speaker 2: She's put up a post where she's getting an IV drip.
00:04:16
Speaker 1: Right.
00:04:17
Speaker 2: And she's titled it, Go hard or go home, they say. A win is a win. In all seriousness, thank you for all your support. I'll be back soon.
00:04:24
Speaker 1: Legend.
00:04:27
Speaker 2: I do take my hat off to her. She obviously trained her butt off to get to this point and she wasn't going to stop for anything. But, yuck.
00:04:37
Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone else was taking note of the number of times that Gabby effortlessly dropped the word butt into those last couple of sentences, but it happened a few times. Everyone's got something to complain about when they don't win. All right. Let's play a picture.
00:04:53
Speaker 2: I wouldn't win because I'd be too worried about touching things.
00:04:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's why you would lose. She won because she would. I'm not touching her poo. Winners would touch the poo.
00:05:01
Speaker 2: No, they wouldn't.
00:05:03
Speaker 1: She did.
00:05:04
Speaker 2: Her own.
00:05:04
Speaker 3: Fine.
00:05:05
Speaker 2: Not someone else's.
00:05:07
Speaker 1: Loser talk.
00:05:08
Speaker 2: All right. Let's play. I see a challenge coming on.
00:05:13
Speaker 1: I daren't even ask what the challenge could be. Canberra has a new nickname.
00:05:20
Speaker 2: It does. And I didn't know we needed one or that one was on its way, but it happened. And I found out because my niece, who is nearly 19, that makes me feel very old. She just got back from the UK. So it's very exciting stuff. She was there since the start of the year. She was doing a bit of a gap year. She traveled around Europe. Um, and she returned home a couple of weeks ago. Awesome. And I've been hearing about all of her travels and everything, but she's also been catching up with friends. So I haven't seen her a whole lot because there's a lot of friends to catch up with, but we're sitting there having a chat the other day and she goes, anyway, I got to go heading into the bra. And I was like, pardon?
00:05:59
Speaker 1: The bra?
00:05:59
Speaker 2: She goes, I'm going into the bra.
00:06:01
Speaker 1: Are we the bra?
00:06:02
Speaker 2: I was like, what? She goes, Canberra.
00:06:05
Speaker 1: Oh, we're not the bearer with the bra.
00:06:07
Speaker 2: We're the bra. And I was like, hold on a second. I'm just going to have to write this down. Can you elaborate on that, please? And she was like, it's what we were all saying in the UK. I'm from the bra. And I'm like, okay. So it's now an international nickname.
00:06:24
Speaker 1: We can go one of two ways here.
00:06:26
Speaker 2: We can embrace.
00:06:26
Speaker 1: As a generation, that's right. We can be, we can get upset.
00:06:31
Speaker 2: Rage to embrace.
00:06:32
Speaker 1: Or we can act cool.
00:06:34
Speaker 2: What do you prefer, the bearer or the bra?
00:06:36
Speaker 1: Neither.
00:06:38
Speaker 2: Rod and Gabby's Crack It.
00:06:40
Speaker 1: We're in.
00:06:41
Speaker 3: Thanks to Crimsafe, Australia's most trusted security screen for over 30 years. If it's not Crimsafe, it's not Crimsafe.
00:06:49
Speaker 1: But I'm going to act cool.
00:06:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, cool, man.
00:06:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, we live in the bra.
00:06:54
Speaker 1: See you down the bra, down the bra.
00:06:55
Speaker 2: No, no.
00:06:56
Speaker 1: And he's no longer cool.
00:06:58
Speaker 2: And he's out.
00:06:58
Speaker 1: He wasn't cool to start and he's exposed himself. He's the fraud he always was. Ashley Nolan, welcome back. Hello.
00:07:07
Speaker 3: Thank you.
00:07:08
Speaker 1: You're an accomplished journalist. You've travelled the world, plying your craft, developing, you know, your skills.
00:07:14
Speaker 2: Led you to this point. To be narrating a romanticie.
00:07:19
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, and that's a polite way of putting it. Was this ever part of the plan?
00:07:24
Speaker 3: No, never part of the plan, but fun. Happy to be here, yeah.
00:07:28
Speaker 2: All right.
00:07:29
Speaker 1: It's time.
00:07:31
Speaker 3: Gabrielle L. L.
00:07:33
Speaker 1: Goods.
00:07:34
Speaker 2: Fortune Favors.
00:07:35
Speaker 1: The Forbidden Fairy. You're writing a novel.
00:07:38
Speaker 2: I'm writing a romanticie. So Saphira's a human. She went on a hunt to kill the Dark Prince because her mother's dying wish was for her to do that. She met Lance, who helped her on her mission for a period of time before he revealed he was the Dark Prince.
00:07:54
Speaker 1: Just some advice in life. We do feel obliged to fulfil the dying wish of someone, but it's not an obligation.
00:08:01
Speaker 2: Well, she felt like it was. Lance is a fairy and he is the Dark Prince as well. Anyway, she's just come back to.
00:08:10
Speaker 1: You couldn't have glossed over the most dramatic part to this point. He is the Dark Prince, so I don't even know about that.
00:08:17
Speaker 2: So she's travelling back to see her father to find out the full story of the lies she's been told since she was a kid because Lance is convincing her that he's not all bad.
00:08:28
Speaker 1: That's what bad boys do, isn't it? You used to love the bad boy.
00:08:31
Speaker 2: I used to think I could fix the bad boy, yeah.
00:08:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, right. But they just told you, no, I'm a good guy. And you're like, oh, yeah.
00:08:36
Speaker 2: No, I knew they were a bad boy. But I was like, but they could be good, you know?
00:08:39
Speaker 1: None of this based on reality.
00:08:41
Speaker 2: It's important. So she spoke to her dad. And he pretty much told her her mother was not who she thought she was. So maybe her mother is actually the bad guy.
00:08:52
Speaker 1: That's why you don't have to fulfil the dying wish. What if the dying wish is from someone who's been a fraud their whole life?
00:08:59
Speaker 2: She's definitely questioning everything now.
00:09:03
Speaker 1: My goodness.
00:09:04
Speaker 2: So she's sitting... I'll let the narrator... Say what she's doing. Here we go. Chapter 24.
00:09:10
Speaker 1: I might change music. I feel like given where we're going to go, what I know of this, I'm going to change the music. Is it less salacious?
00:09:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not salacious because she's still getting her head around all the information.
00:09:20
Speaker 1: Okay, so I'm going to go for peaceful mandolin.
00:09:24
Speaker 2: Oh, great. Oh, that's fitting. Yeah, lovely.
00:09:27
Speaker 1: That's nice.
00:09:27
Speaker 3: All right, chapter 24. Chapter 24. Sitting in her old bedroom in her father's humble cottage, Sephira was still trying to make sense of what he had told her. According to a prophecy, she possessed something neither realm possessed. She both possessed light and darkness. She was the balance. She thought back to how Lance's darkness never frightened her the way it should have, but also the way the light realm had felt warm and comforting. The most confusing of all thought was when... Sorry, the most confusing... Of all.
00:10:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry, my bad.
00:10:07
Speaker 3: Of all.
00:10:08
Speaker 2: Of all, okay.
00:10:10
Speaker 3: The most.
00:10:11
Speaker 1: Fine, continue.
00:10:11
Speaker 2: Of all though.
00:10:13
Speaker 3: Of all though, okay. Got it. The most confusing of all, though, was when her father had admitted that her mother had a hand in creating the Dark Prince. She made a deal with the darkness to have someone powerful enough to stand between her and the creatures that hunted her, and Lance was the chosen guard. Every time Sephira was threatened, Lance was forced to protect her from the shadows without ever being allowed to tell her. making her question Lance's feelings. Did he actually want her or was he just obliged to care?
00:10:51
Speaker 1: Sorry, has he been protecting her in other times in her life?
00:10:54
Speaker 2: She had no idea.
00:10:57
Speaker 3: Really?
00:10:57
Speaker 1: Okay.
00:11:00
Speaker 3: Her soft knock came at the door, startling her out of her thoughts. Sephira, please talk to me. Lance sounded unsure and pleading.
00:11:13
Speaker 1: Where is this? Is this at her house?
00:11:16
Speaker 2: Her dad's house, yeah.
00:11:16
Speaker 1: What's he doing there?
00:11:18
Speaker 2: Well, he came out of the forest when she was talking to her dad. He flew there, remember?
00:11:22
Speaker 1: Sure, sure. But what's he in the house now as well?
00:11:24
Speaker 2: Well, I guess he is.
00:11:25
Speaker 1: Does dad know this?
00:11:26
Speaker 2: I'm sure he does. It's a cottage. Can't hide.
00:11:29
Speaker 1: Crying out loud.
00:11:32
Speaker 3: Safira sighed. She had enough information to process but knew she must have Lance's side too. Come in. Lance walked in with a steaming cup of tea in hand. Your father said this would help calm your mind. Zephira took the tea, breathing in the steam and already feeling the tension easing.
00:11:54
Speaker 2: Okay.
00:11:55
Speaker 3: No more lies, Prince. Tell me everything.
00:11:58
Speaker 1: Is this an ad for Lipton? Is that what this is? Maybe.
00:12:01
Speaker 2: It feels.
00:12:03
Speaker 1: Oh, the tea. I'm back.
00:12:05
Speaker 2: Looks good, isn't it?
00:12:08
Speaker 1: That's what I needed.
00:12:09
Speaker 2: Don't you feel like that in hard times?
00:12:14
Speaker 1: I get it. You and your erotic... What do you call it?
00:12:18
Speaker 2: Romantasy.
00:12:19
Speaker 1: Romantasy. Any opportunity to drop in a hard times reference.
00:12:26
Speaker 3: Lance knelt at her feet in front of her so that their eyes were level. I didn't know your mother, but she knew me. She knew that I was the best fighter in the realms and that I was in hiding from my father, isolated from the crown, a perfect guard for her vulnerable daughter, so she had the darkness task me with your protection.
00:12:48
Speaker 1: That's it. That's it. For now. So why, if she got the Dark Prince to protect her daughter, did she want her daughter to kill him in the end?
00:13:01
Speaker 2: We'll have to find out.
00:13:02
Speaker 1: This is lunacy. But I am absolutely all in.
00:13:08
Speaker 2: You're invested.
00:13:09
Speaker 1: Ashley Nolan, g'day.
00:13:13
Speaker 2: Hello. I, again, don't know what that says. Am I struggling with your writing today or is it my eye? Because I've got a bit of a red eye.
00:13:22
Speaker 1: That is an understatement. And when you say, am I struggling with this today, and you're winking at me, I'm getting so many mixed messages. Am I struggling with this?
00:13:31
Speaker 2: My eye is not up to scratch today, so I am struggling a little.
00:13:34
Speaker 1: Nolzi, Australia's Signals Director-Chief says we're all sitting ducks.
00:13:39
Speaker 2: Okay, no, it is what I thought it said. It just didn't make sense to me.
00:13:41
Speaker 1: You're not familiar with the work of Australia's Signals Director-Chief? I'm not. Have I got the title correct?
00:13:47
Speaker 3: The Signals Directorate.
00:13:49
Speaker 1: Directorate. Well, you were right to question it.
00:13:51
Speaker 2: I was.
00:13:53
Speaker 1: I knew.
00:13:55
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:13:55
Speaker 3: So that's one of our top intelligence agencies. And the head, the Director General of the Signals Directorate is the latest one to warn about... AI taking over the internet, particularly here in Australia. So we know that the AI companies are ironically warning that AI bots could swarm the internet and that could happen within a year, which is not good. Within a year?
00:14:23
Speaker 2: Well, what would we do if we didn't have internet? Like if the AI bots took down the internet?
00:14:27
Speaker 3: Well, imagine like our money would go down, medical systems could go.
00:14:32
Speaker 1: Down, it would.
00:14:33
Speaker 2: We rely on it a bit, don't we?
00:14:35
Speaker 3: We sure do.
00:14:36
Speaker 1: Yeah. Start making a puzzle. You know what I mean? Like you do.
00:14:39
Speaker 2: With what money? You got some cash?
00:14:42
Speaker 1: Oh, you got some puzzle money over there? We'd be in huge trouble, you're right. Yes.
00:14:49
Speaker 3: And yeah, experts were saying, you know, that hack on hugging face that when the AI bots went rogue that first time that we heard about it, they were warning that that was halfway to.
00:15:04
Speaker 3: AI bots taking over the entire internet.
00:15:06
Speaker 2: So it could happen very, very soon.
00:15:08
Speaker 1: I don't know how close we are to, people pay a lot of attention to the dates from Terminator 2 for where the.
00:15:16
Speaker 2: Because it was in the future, right?
00:15:17
Speaker 1: It was set in the future, but the future in the film is now abouts. Oh, okay. Is it? Yeah. Well, in the next sort of, I think 12 to 24 months, what the key dates were as to when the, you know, when the system took over.
00:15:29
Speaker 2: Oh, oh no.
00:15:30
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm noticing a lot of personal training guys, social media influencer guys, they're training for what happens when we have to fight the Terminators. Everyone's talking about what's your motivation? Why do you get up? Why do you go to the gym? And they're showing a lot of footage of the robots fighting old mate. who has to travel back in time to try and save humankind.
00:15:58
Speaker 2: I don't think any training is going to make you equipped to fight a robot.
00:16:01
Speaker 1: No, no, he does. He absolutely does. Hang on, I'll play this and then I'll get it. I'll get it for you. Okay. I'll show you how you beat the robots.
00:16:09
Speaker 2: Okay.
00:16:10
Speaker 3: Also, the AI, the human bots are not the problem. Next.
00:16:16
Speaker 1: No, can't find it. Four minutes until 8 o'clock on Hit 104.7's Rod and Gabby Fabrecki. The point is, if you're fighting a Terminator and you dive through the wreckage of a helicopter and it's still got one of the machine gun turrets, I don't know, the Terminator, it's attached and it's loaded, you can stop the Terminator then.
00:16:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, I understand that you can stop a Terminator with a weapon.
00:16:42
Speaker 1: Yes.
00:16:42
Speaker 2: But what's the point of training to fight one? I mean, you physically can't. just with your body, beat a Terminator, a robot.
00:16:50
Speaker 1: No, but even just jumping through the wreckage of a helicopter. I mean, you are a liar. You need to be fast and agile. Yeah, you need to be. You're right. These CrossFit guys are a chance. We're the sitting ducks. Anyway, back to producer Nolsey who was sharing.
00:17:08
Speaker 2: Trying to tell a story.
00:17:10
Speaker 1: What's the war? There's a war. There's a Terminator war.
00:17:12
Speaker 2: The future war.
00:17:12
Speaker 1: The future war is 2020 when?
00:17:15
Speaker 2: Uh, 2029, when human resistance defeats Skynet.
00:17:20
Speaker 1: Okay. This is what these online training guys are training for.
00:17:24
Speaker 2: So three years away where we defeat AI.
00:17:26
Speaker 1: Right. So get ready. But you don't think it's the robots, no?
00:17:33
Speaker 2: No, it's not going to be.
00:17:34
Speaker 3: It's not the humanoid robots that are the problem at the moment. It's going to be this invisible threat of the AI just infiltrating all our digital systems.
00:17:44
Speaker 1: It's not as exciting though, is it?
00:17:45
Speaker 2: That's why the humanoid robot very good, very evil tally board is more good than evil. We've got 10 in the good column and four in the evil because it's not the humanoids that are the problem.
00:17:56
Speaker 3: Right.
00:17:56
Speaker 2: But they're like the distracting.
00:17:57
Speaker 1: They're distracting us.
00:17:57
Speaker 2: They're like dancing and doing karate in front of us. Yes. Distracting us from what the bots are doing online.
00:18:03
Speaker 1: Well, I like.
Speaker 1: On Canberra's Hit 104.7, it's Rod and Gabby Racked.
00:00:05
Speaker 2: There are some pretty confronting photos doing the rounds at the moment. They're literally everywhere. Every news site that you see, they're all over my socials.
00:00:12
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:00:13
Speaker 2: It's doing the rounds of an Aussie fitness star by the name of Joanna from Melbourne who went to Beijing to compete in a High Rocks challenge. Now, High Rocks is like.
00:00:23
Speaker 1: CrossFit.
00:00:24
Speaker 2: It's CrossFit, but it's like a hectic, hectic competition where... You have to be a super athlete to be able to complete all of the tasks that you need to complete in order to finish the competition. Because you can't just do one thing. You've got to do it all.
00:00:41
Speaker 1: To finish.
00:00:42
Speaker 2: I've never done it, but that's what I've heard.
00:00:43
Speaker 1: Well, we've seen it and we know we couldn't do it and so we know.
00:00:45
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:00:46
Speaker 1: To complete it, you would need to be one of the most elite athletes walking the planet. To win it, you need to push yourself to levels that humanity goes, I'm not going there. Yeah. And only rare human beings.
00:01:00
Speaker 2: Get there. Especially like an international competition like this. Like there's local ones that I'm sure aren't as.
00:01:07
Speaker 1: To beat the best in the world? Yes. To have the eye of the tiger to go, I will not be beaten by anything or anyone.
00:01:14
Speaker 2: Including Boo. So Joanna did actually win. She won the entire competition. She is now the number one in the world for women in high rock. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. But that's not why she's making the headlines. The reason she's making the headlines is because during the competition she had what people are calling a bowel incontinence syndrome.
00:01:37
Speaker 1: Right, which happens at the highest stages of exertion.
00:01:39
Speaker 2: Like super marathons and stuff.
00:01:41
Speaker 1: Happens all the time.
00:01:42
Speaker 2: And so she had poo running down her legs.
00:01:45
Speaker 1: Right.
00:01:47
Speaker 2: The problem with that is poo is very unhygienic. And you're sharing equipment and track. This is not running outside where it's just part of nature. It's an indoor activity and the mats, the rowing machine, the medicine balls, things were getting infected with what is a pretty feral substance.
00:02:11
Speaker 1: Right.
00:02:13
Speaker 2: That's gross.
00:02:14
Speaker 1: Sure. We're not popping down to the local gym. And having a workout and electing not to go to the bathroom. This is the highest of heights.
00:02:24
Speaker 2: No, no, but other people are competing as well, so you're putting them at risk.
00:02:28
Speaker 1: They're putting themselves at risk.
00:02:29
Speaker 2: No, they're getting put at risk.
00:02:30
Speaker 1: They're signed up for this competition.
00:02:32
Speaker 2: So what happened was, as she was competing, they then closed down those pieces of equipment and whatever else, and they ended up fully sanitising them for the next day's competition and stuff. But the organisers have come out to say that, We didn't know how to deal with this situation. It hasn't arisen before. It's not in the rule book. We weren't sure. Like we have medical practices and processes and procedures, but this was a bit out of that realm. We didn't know what to do. In future, we will absolutely be stopping that athlete and making them clean themselves up. And they're not going to be able to continue competing in that state. So they've changed the rule book.
00:03:09
Speaker 1: My advice to the organizer. Maybe running the most elite, challenging physical pursuit in the history of humankind is not for them.
00:03:20
Speaker 2: You've got to look after everyone's health.
00:03:22
Speaker 1: That's fine.
00:03:23
Speaker 2: These are elite athletes. You can't be letting everyone get sick.
00:03:26
Speaker 1: Set up multiple stations.
00:03:27
Speaker 2: There is multiple stations, but they're all being used.
00:03:31
Speaker 1: Not by the one person who's got some poo running down their leg.
00:03:34
Speaker 2: You've got to set the boundaries. Yes.
00:03:37
Speaker 1: You know who's complaining about... And I know, because I've read about it, a bunch of... It sounds like a lot of the other athletes are complaining.
00:03:44
Speaker 2: I would be complaining about it if I was one of the other athletes.
00:03:47
Speaker 1: I'd be complaining about it if I was a loser as well.
00:03:50
Speaker 2: But there's other.
00:03:51
Speaker 1: There's only one winner.
00:03:52
Speaker 2: No, there's not. There's different... like categories, like there's women, there's men, there's probably different age groups. There's not just one winner. And you could be changing the course for the other categories.
00:04:05
Speaker 1: I will listen to the complainees.
00:04:07
Speaker 2: Can we talk about what her response was?
00:04:09
Speaker 1: When they win.
00:04:09
Speaker 2: Do you know what her response was?
00:04:11
Speaker 1: I can't wait for this.
00:04:12
Speaker 2: She's put up a post.
00:04:13
Speaker 1: I can't wait for this.
00:04:14
Speaker 2: She's put up a post where she's getting an IV drip.
00:04:16
Speaker 1: Right.
00:04:17
Speaker 2: And she's titled it, Go hard or go home, they say. A win is a win. In all seriousness, thank you for all your support. I'll be back soon.
00:04:24
Speaker 1: Legend.
00:04:27
Speaker 2: I do take my hat off to her. She obviously trained her butt off to get to this point and she wasn't going to stop for anything. But, yuck.
00:04:37
Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone else was taking note of the number of times that Gabby effortlessly dropped the word butt into those last couple of sentences, but it happened a few times. Everyone's got something to complain about when they don't win. All right. Let's play a picture.
00:04:53
Speaker 2: I wouldn't win because I'd be too worried about touching things.
00:04:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's why you would lose. She won because she would. I'm not touching her poo. Winners would touch the poo.
00:05:01
Speaker 2: No, they wouldn't.
00:05:03
Speaker 1: She did.
00:05:04
Speaker 2: Her own.
00:05:04
Speaker 3: Fine.
00:05:05
Speaker 2: Not someone else's.
00:05:07
Speaker 1: Loser talk.
00:05:08
Speaker 2: All right. Let's play. I see a challenge coming on.
00:05:13
Speaker 1: I daren't even ask what the challenge could be. Canberra has a new nickname.
00:05:20
Speaker 2: It does. And I didn't know we needed one or that one was on its way, but it happened. And I found out because my niece, who is nearly 19, that makes me feel very old. She just got back from the UK. So it's very exciting stuff. She was there since the start of the year. She was doing a bit of a gap year. She traveled around Europe. Um, and she returned home a couple of weeks ago. Awesome. And I've been hearing about all of her travels and everything, but she's also been catching up with friends. So I haven't seen her a whole lot because there's a lot of friends to catch up with, but we're sitting there having a chat the other day and she goes, anyway, I got to go heading into the bra. And I was like, pardon?
00:05:59
Speaker 1: The bra?
00:05:59
Speaker 2: She goes, I'm going into the bra.
00:06:01
Speaker 1: Are we the bra?
00:06:02
Speaker 2: I was like, what? She goes, Canberra.
00:06:05
Speaker 1: Oh, we're not the bearer with the bra.
00:06:07
Speaker 2: We're the bra. And I was like, hold on a second. I'm just going to have to write this down. Can you elaborate on that, please? And she was like, it's what we were all saying in the UK. I'm from the bra. And I'm like, okay. So it's now an international nickname.
00:06:24
Speaker 1: We can go one of two ways here.
00:06:26
Speaker 2: We can embrace.
00:06:26
Speaker 1: As a generation, that's right. We can be, we can get upset.
00:06:31
Speaker 2: Rage to embrace.
00:06:32
Speaker 1: Or we can act cool.
00:06:34
Speaker 2: What do you prefer, the bearer or the bra?
00:06:36
Speaker 1: Neither.
00:06:38
Speaker 2: Rod and Gabby's Crack It.
00:06:40
Speaker 1: We're in.
00:06:41
Speaker 3: Thanks to Crimsafe, Australia's most trusted security screen for over 30 years. If it's not Crimsafe, it's not Crimsafe.
00:06:49
Speaker 1: But I'm going to act cool.
00:06:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, cool, man.
00:06:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, we live in the bra.
00:06:54
Speaker 1: See you down the bra, down the bra.
00:06:55
Speaker 2: No, no.
00:06:56
Speaker 1: And he's no longer cool.
00:06:58
Speaker 2: And he's out.
00:06:58
Speaker 1: He wasn't cool to start and he's exposed himself. He's the fraud he always was. Ashley Nolan, welcome back. Hello.
00:07:07
Speaker 3: Thank you.
00:07:08
Speaker 1: You're an accomplished journalist. You've travelled the world, plying your craft, developing, you know, your skills.
00:07:14
Speaker 2: Led you to this point. To be narrating a romanticie.
00:07:19
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, and that's a polite way of putting it. Was this ever part of the plan?
00:07:24
Speaker 3: No, never part of the plan, but fun. Happy to be here, yeah.
00:07:28
Speaker 2: All right.
00:07:29
Speaker 1: It's time.
00:07:31
Speaker 3: Gabrielle L. L.
00:07:33
Speaker 1: Goods.
00:07:34
Speaker 2: Fortune Favors.
00:07:35
Speaker 1: The Forbidden Fairy. You're writing a novel.
00:07:38
Speaker 2: I'm writing a romanticie. So Saphira's a human. She went on a hunt to kill the Dark Prince because her mother's dying wish was for her to do that. She met Lance, who helped her on her mission for a period of time before he revealed he was the Dark Prince.
00:07:54
Speaker 1: Just some advice in life. We do feel obliged to fulfil the dying wish of someone, but it's not an obligation.
00:08:01
Speaker 2: Well, she felt like it was. Lance is a fairy and he is the Dark Prince as well. Anyway, she's just come back to.
00:08:10
Speaker 1: You couldn't have glossed over the most dramatic part to this point. He is the Dark Prince, so I don't even know about that.
00:08:17
Speaker 2: So she's travelling back to see her father to find out the full story of the lies she's been told since she was a kid because Lance is convincing her that he's not all bad.
00:08:28
Speaker 1: That's what bad boys do, isn't it? You used to love the bad boy.
00:08:31
Speaker 2: I used to think I could fix the bad boy, yeah.
00:08:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, right. But they just told you, no, I'm a good guy. And you're like, oh, yeah.
00:08:36
Speaker 2: No, I knew they were a bad boy. But I was like, but they could be good, you know?
00:08:39
Speaker 1: None of this based on reality.
00:08:41
Speaker 2: It's important. So she spoke to her dad. And he pretty much told her her mother was not who she thought she was. So maybe her mother is actually the bad guy.
00:08:52
Speaker 1: That's why you don't have to fulfil the dying wish. What if the dying wish is from someone who's been a fraud their whole life?
00:08:59
Speaker 2: She's definitely questioning everything now.
00:09:03
Speaker 1: My goodness.
00:09:04
Speaker 2: So she's sitting... I'll let the narrator... Say what she's doing. Here we go. Chapter 24.
00:09:10
Speaker 1: I might change music. I feel like given where we're going to go, what I know of this, I'm going to change the music. Is it less salacious?
00:09:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not salacious because she's still getting her head around all the information.
00:09:20
Speaker 1: Okay, so I'm going to go for peaceful mandolin.
00:09:24
Speaker 2: Oh, great. Oh, that's fitting. Yeah, lovely.
00:09:27
Speaker 1: That's nice.
00:09:27
Speaker 3: All right, chapter 24. Chapter 24. Sitting in her old bedroom in her father's humble cottage, Sephira was still trying to make sense of what he had told her. According to a prophecy, she possessed something neither realm possessed. She both possessed light and darkness. She was the balance. She thought back to how Lance's darkness never frightened her the way it should have, but also the way the light realm had felt warm and comforting. The most confusing of all thought was when... Sorry, the most confusing... Of all.
00:10:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry, my bad.
00:10:07
Speaker 3: Of all.
00:10:08
Speaker 2: Of all, okay.
00:10:10
Speaker 3: The most.
00:10:11
Speaker 1: Fine, continue.
00:10:11
Speaker 2: Of all though.
00:10:13
Speaker 3: Of all though, okay. Got it. The most confusing of all, though, was when her father had admitted that her mother had a hand in creating the Dark Prince. She made a deal with the darkness to have someone powerful enough to stand between her and the creatures that hunted her, and Lance was the chosen guard. Every time Sephira was threatened, Lance was forced to protect her from the shadows without ever being allowed to tell her. making her question Lance's feelings. Did he actually want her or was he just obliged to care?
00:10:51
Speaker 1: Sorry, has he been protecting her in other times in her life?
00:10:54
Speaker 2: She had no idea.
00:10:57
Speaker 3: Really?
00:10:57
Speaker 1: Okay.
00:11:00
Speaker 3: Her soft knock came at the door, startling her out of her thoughts. Sephira, please talk to me. Lance sounded unsure and pleading.
00:11:13
Speaker 1: Where is this? Is this at her house?
00:11:16
Speaker 2: Her dad's house, yeah.
00:11:16
Speaker 1: What's he doing there?
00:11:18
Speaker 2: Well, he came out of the forest when she was talking to her dad. He flew there, remember?
00:11:22
Speaker 1: Sure, sure. But what's he in the house now as well?
00:11:24
Speaker 2: Well, I guess he is.
00:11:25
Speaker 1: Does dad know this?
00:11:26
Speaker 2: I'm sure he does. It's a cottage. Can't hide.
00:11:29
Speaker 1: Crying out loud.
00:11:32
Speaker 3: Safira sighed. She had enough information to process but knew she must have Lance's side too. Come in. Lance walked in with a steaming cup of tea in hand. Your father said this would help calm your mind. Zephira took the tea, breathing in the steam and already feeling the tension easing.
00:11:54
Speaker 2: Okay.
00:11:55
Speaker 3: No more lies, Prince. Tell me everything.
00:11:58
Speaker 1: Is this an ad for Lipton? Is that what this is? Maybe.
00:12:01
Speaker 2: It feels.
00:12:03
Speaker 1: Oh, the tea. I'm back.
00:12:05
Speaker 2: Looks good, isn't it?
00:12:08
Speaker 1: That's what I needed.
00:12:09
Speaker 2: Don't you feel like that in hard times?
00:12:14
Speaker 1: I get it. You and your erotic... What do you call it?
00:12:18
Speaker 2: Romantasy.
00:12:19
Speaker 1: Romantasy. Any opportunity to drop in a hard times reference.
00:12:26
Speaker 3: Lance knelt at her feet in front of her so that their eyes were level. I didn't know your mother, but she knew me. She knew that I was the best fighter in the realms and that I was in hiding from my father, isolated from the crown, a perfect guard for her vulnerable daughter, so she had the darkness task me with your protection.
00:12:48
Speaker 1: That's it. That's it. For now. So why, if she got the Dark Prince to protect her daughter, did she want her daughter to kill him in the end?
00:13:01
Speaker 2: We'll have to find out.
00:13:02
Speaker 1: This is lunacy. But I am absolutely all in.
00:13:08
Speaker 2: You're invested.
00:13:09
Speaker 1: Ashley Nolan, g'day.
00:13:13
Speaker 2: Hello. I, again, don't know what that says. Am I struggling with your writing today or is it my eye? Because I've got a bit of a red eye.
00:13:22
Speaker 1: That is an understatement. And when you say, am I struggling with this today, and you're winking at me, I'm getting so many mixed messages. Am I struggling with this?
00:13:31
Speaker 2: My eye is not up to scratch today, so I am struggling a little.
00:13:34
Speaker 1: Nolzi, Australia's Signals Director-Chief says we're all sitting ducks.
00:13:39
Speaker 2: Okay, no, it is what I thought it said. It just didn't make sense to me.
00:13:41
Speaker 1: You're not familiar with the work of Australia's Signals Director-Chief? I'm not. Have I got the title correct?
00:13:47
Speaker 3: The Signals Directorate.
00:13:49
Speaker 1: Directorate. Well, you were right to question it.
00:13:51
Speaker 2: I was.
00:13:53
Speaker 1: I knew.
00:13:55
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:13:55
Speaker 3: So that's one of our top intelligence agencies. And the head, the Director General of the Signals Directorate is the latest one to warn about... AI taking over the internet, particularly here in Australia. So we know that the AI companies are ironically warning that AI bots could swarm the internet and that could happen within a year, which is not good. Within a year?
00:14:23
Speaker 2: Well, what would we do if we didn't have internet? Like if the AI bots took down the internet?
00:14:27
Speaker 3: Well, imagine like our money would go down, medical systems could go.
00:14:32
Speaker 1: Down, it would.
00:14:33
Speaker 2: We rely on it a bit, don't we?
00:14:35
Speaker 3: We sure do.
00:14:36
Speaker 1: Yeah. Start making a puzzle. You know what I mean? Like you do.
00:14:39
Speaker 2: With what money? You got some cash?
00:14:42
Speaker 1: Oh, you got some puzzle money over there? We'd be in huge trouble, you're right. Yes.
00:14:49
Speaker 3: And yeah, experts were saying, you know, that hack on hugging face that when the AI bots went rogue that first time that we heard about it, they were warning that that was halfway to.
00:15:04
Speaker 3: AI bots taking over the entire internet.
00:15:06
Speaker 2: So it could happen very, very soon.
00:15:08
Speaker 1: I don't know how close we are to, people pay a lot of attention to the dates from Terminator 2 for where the.
00:15:16
Speaker 2: Because it was in the future, right?
00:15:17
Speaker 1: It was set in the future, but the future in the film is now abouts. Oh, okay. Is it? Yeah. Well, in the next sort of, I think 12 to 24 months, what the key dates were as to when the, you know, when the system took over.
00:15:29
Speaker 2: Oh, oh no.
00:15:30
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm noticing a lot of personal training guys, social media influencer guys, they're training for what happens when we have to fight the Terminators. Everyone's talking about what's your motivation? Why do you get up? Why do you go to the gym? And they're showing a lot of footage of the robots fighting old mate. who has to travel back in time to try and save humankind.
00:15:58
Speaker 2: I don't think any training is going to make you equipped to fight a robot.
00:16:01
Speaker 1: No, no, he does. He absolutely does. Hang on, I'll play this and then I'll get it. I'll get it for you. Okay. I'll show you how you beat the robots.
00:16:09
Speaker 2: Okay.
00:16:10
Speaker 3: Also, the AI, the human bots are not the problem. Next.
00:16:16
Speaker 1: No, can't find it. Four minutes until 8 o'clock on Hit 104.7's Rod and Gabby Fabrecki. The point is, if you're fighting a Terminator and you dive through the wreckage of a helicopter and it's still got one of the machine gun turrets, I don't know, the Terminator, it's attached and it's loaded, you can stop the Terminator then.
00:16:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, I understand that you can stop a Terminator with a weapon.
00:16:42
Speaker 1: Yes.
00:16:42
Speaker 2: But what's the point of training to fight one? I mean, you physically can't. just with your body, beat a Terminator, a robot.
00:16:50
Speaker 1: No, but even just jumping through the wreckage of a helicopter. I mean, you are a liar. You need to be fast and agile. Yeah, you need to be. You're right. These CrossFit guys are a chance. We're the sitting ducks. Anyway, back to producer Nolsey who was sharing.
00:17:08
Speaker 2: Trying to tell a story.
00:17:10
Speaker 1: What's the war? There's a war. There's a Terminator war.
00:17:12
Speaker 2: The future war.
00:17:12
Speaker 1: The future war is 2020 when?
00:17:15
Speaker 2: Uh, 2029, when human resistance defeats Skynet.
00:17:20
Speaker 1: Okay. This is what these online training guys are training for.
00:17:24
Speaker 2: So three years away where we defeat AI.
00:17:26
Speaker 1: Right. So get ready. But you don't think it's the robots, no?
00:17:33
Speaker 2: No, it's not going to be.
00:17:34
Speaker 3: It's not the humanoid robots that are the problem at the moment. It's going to be this invisible threat of the AI just infiltrating all our digital systems.
00:17:44
Speaker 1: It's not as exciting though, is it?
00:17:45
Speaker 2: That's why the humanoid robot very good, very evil tally board is more good than evil. We've got 10 in the good column and four in the evil because it's not the humanoids that are the problem.
00:17:56
Speaker 3: Right.
00:17:56
Speaker 2: But they're like the distracting.
00:17:57
Speaker 1: They're distracting us.
00:17:57
Speaker 2: They're like dancing and doing karate in front of us. Yes. Distracting us from what the bots are doing online.
00:18:03
Speaker 1: Well, I like.
