A listener, production. Whether
0:04
it's a smoothie at 7am, French
0:06
toast at 4mam or a bacon
0:08
and egg roll, admit that. This
0:10
is the podcast for you. It's
0:13
delicious! It's Matt and Alex all
0:15
day breakfast. Have you ever... done
0:17
something unintentionally racist Alex Tyson that
0:19
you just didn't never ever in
0:21
my entire life I just it's
0:24
not that I meant to do
0:26
this thing or to think this
0:28
thing I think is what happened
0:30
but it turns out I probably
0:32
need some sort of self inflexia
0:34
reflection I need to you know
0:37
have to send you to one
0:39
of those corporate training sessions talking
0:41
about Inclusivity in the workplace exactly
0:43
because I just did something just
0:45
before where I was like Oh my
0:47
god, what is that saying about me? And
0:49
uh, but thankfully I'm not alone to do
0:52
this self-work. We may be able to, um,
0:54
talk to the person that made me discover
0:56
this situation. We've got a guest about, we're about
0:58
to talk to, uh, talk to the person that
1:00
made me discover this situation. We've got a
1:02
guest about, we're about to talk to. Very
1:04
spontaneous guest, this was not planned, but we're
1:06
gonna dive right in, because this just happened
1:08
all day of their breakfast. Hope you know,
1:10
hope you know, hope, hope, hope, hope. Well
1:13
Matt O'Kine you've come in sweating
1:15
what's been happening. Okay so you
1:17
know I'm in town we're in
1:19
Melbourne today we're both in the
1:21
same room which is you know
1:23
a very occasion yeah exactly and
1:25
I'm in town just I leave
1:27
this afternoon okay so I fly
1:30
and fly out yeah I've got
1:32
my I've got my luggage with
1:34
me and I'm walking across the
1:36
road and I'm very close
1:38
to the studio this is just like a
1:40
block away. and this car just happened this
1:42
literally just happened that's why I walked in
1:44
I was like hit that record let's go
1:46
this car drives around the corner just as
1:49
I'm crossing the road right and so I
1:51
he catches me in the middle of the
1:53
road right okay so I'm a didn't look
1:55
both ways did you know I'm thinking about
1:57
transit so I'm not used to all this
1:59
stuff so I'm like Oh, oh, and then
2:01
so I'm literally stuck in the middle of
2:03
the road. This car drives around the corner.
2:06
I step back, I'm like waving like go,
2:08
go, go, go, like come on, come on,
2:10
go. But then the car pulls up,
2:12
starts pulling up next to me. And
2:14
I'm thinking, no, just go man. And
2:16
then he, and then I see the
2:18
window go down and here's the thing.
2:20
This is where I start. Becoming
2:23
racist. Okay. I'm really
2:25
sorry. I couldn't see
2:28
very well through the
2:30
windows. Tinted windows. Tinted
2:32
skin as well. I
2:34
will say. Okay. Yeah. Because
2:37
the figure, which I have,
2:39
all right, I'm allowed to say
2:41
it. I'm the figure that
2:43
behind the wheel happens to
2:46
be brown and and they
2:48
start winding their window down
2:50
as they're pulling up next to
2:52
me and so in my head
2:54
I think oh no I think that
2:56
this guy thinks that I'm trying
2:58
to get to the airport right now.
3:00
Because he got your luggage with you.
3:03
Yeah, I got my luggage with me.
3:05
I'm like, oh, no, he's gonna think
3:07
that like, he's gonna offer me like
3:09
an Uber like, do you? So I
3:11
think it's an Uber driver who's spotted
3:13
a fair, pay less pay cash. And
3:15
that is what I did think right
3:17
up until he pulled up next to
3:20
me, window down, and it's Nazim
3:22
Hussein. Hello. I love you to
3:24
see. I mean, I just heard
3:26
your retelling of the story. I
3:28
mean, to be honest, not much
3:30
incorrect there. I'll just tell what
3:32
you do on this shit. I'm
3:34
going to play the bills. You
3:36
know what you get a glimpse?
3:38
into what someone's person, you know,
3:40
people go, oh, I always treat
3:42
weight staff well, I will treat
3:44
blue collar work, and then you
3:46
both leave them. And this is the
3:48
first time I saw a sight of Matt,
3:50
I've never seen before. You didn't, you didn't
3:52
say with it that you, you are mouthing
3:54
expletives, like you were just, I've been a
3:57
lot of you were yelling and you're bang
3:59
on the word. the windscreen go go
4:01
go anyway this sounds like a
4:03
sketch from your comedy show fear
4:05
of a brown planet which madocine
4:08
was in that you would not
4:10
legally brown legally brown there was
4:12
no comedy people had to pull
4:15
over and catch my breath oh
4:17
it was shell shock you're gonna
4:19
need counseling after this the the
4:21
the hate that's affected you I'm
4:24
sorry man I'm so But anyways
4:26
I'm sure you didn't think I
4:28
was very good like I'm standing in the
4:30
middle of road, right? I put up all
4:32
over because I thought you I don't
4:35
know what was going I thought maybe
4:37
you might have needed some money or
4:39
something or just you're yelling and you
4:41
look like to be honest you can
4:43
make it up for me by letting
4:45
me take it to the airport. Yeah
4:48
well I mean I will need I
4:50
will need a lift there later this
4:52
elbow if you want to if you're
4:54
sticking around. Okay, all right, now listen,
4:56
listen, you've been, you've just done the
4:58
ABC show, the parenting show, which is...
5:00
Oh, you're gonna go for it. No,
5:02
the rule. The rule. I think
5:05
it's like after a house as
5:07
well, and it's not through me,
5:09
you can enroll yourself in a
5:11
proper one of these certifications. Think
5:13
any more, I'm sure you'd give
5:15
you a list. Look, I just
5:17
wanted to, I did want to
5:20
pay it back in some way,
5:22
letting people know what you're up
5:24
to. You've done the role of
5:26
a lifetime on ABC, alongside Kate
5:28
Ritchie, doing some parenting, parenting things.
5:30
Hey, can I ask you, genuinely,
5:33
after doing a show that's all
5:35
about parenting, what is the biggest thing
5:37
that you took away that is like,
5:39
like freaking you out about the role
5:41
of being a parent? Because you don't
5:43
have teenagers yet, right,
5:45
but it's coming. It's
5:48
hard to teach your
5:50
kids not to be
5:53
racist to people that
5:55
even look like you.
5:58
You know? he would
6:00
have been absolutely correct. You know,
6:02
like, actually, probably the hardest thing
6:05
of that show, part of the
6:07
show, was acting across from Kate
6:09
Ritchie, like a talented actress. I
6:11
genuinely thought, looking at her, and
6:14
she looked at me, I thought
6:16
she like caught feelings for me
6:18
every take, because we were playing
6:21
married couples, and then it was really
6:23
unprofessional, but it just turned off, but
6:25
it was just really convincing. Well wait,
6:27
if you watch the show, we're like
6:29
married, and we have these two kids,
6:31
who they cast as like white children
6:33
with snow white looking hair and stuff,
6:35
and I was like, what's the back
6:37
story here? Like, am I like to
6:39
adopt a dad or something? They're like,
6:41
no, no, these are your... What's the
6:44
whole going on? What's the back story
6:46
here? It's a little bit more way.
6:48
Hey, look, you've also got a stand-up
6:50
show happening at the Melbourne Comedy Festival
6:52
as well, which people can check out. You've
6:54
added extra shows as well, which is pretty...
6:56
I've got a new open up, you're calling
6:58
it. Yeah, well, I'll be there, I'll make
7:00
it up to you, five minutes before every
7:02
show, I promise, for the rest of the
7:04
tour. But no, please, for everyone who's keen
7:06
to go see something in the Comedy Festival,
7:08
check out, Nazimusain, saying, you paid for this,
7:11
it, it is, it is, it is, it
7:13
is on, it is on, it is on...
7:15
it is on... it is on... it is
7:17
on... it is on... single night for the
7:19
rest of the of the fest. That's it.
7:21
And Nazim, thank you very much man,
7:23
we're going to catch you later. Catch
7:25
you later, see you guys. Very funny
7:27
that Nazim was put you on tariff
7:29
too. Imagine you got in the car
7:32
with him and he just dodged
7:34
you on the super search charge
7:36
as well. I don't know if
7:38
I couldn't stay quiet man. Very
7:40
good friend of mine, but yeah,
7:42
I don't think I could stay
7:44
silent for anyone. Very, very good.
7:46
Well, look, very interesting one there
7:48
for you in Melbourne, Matokine, but
7:50
let's look overseas now because researchers
7:52
internationally have said that
7:54
they've resurrected the dire wolf.
7:56
Now, you better tell the good listener
7:58
what a dire wolf is. because you're
8:00
a big fan of Game of Thrones,
8:03
so you can explain what a
8:05
dire wolf is. I, it sounds
8:07
like a, um, some sort of,
8:10
uh, instrument that they use
8:12
to treat kidney failure. Die
8:14
wolf? Yeah. No, it is a wolf, but
8:16
it's a different one.
8:19
Dallas-based biotech company, colossal
8:21
biosciences, reckon that they've
8:23
created three dire wolf...
8:26
Pups using ancient DNA
8:28
from about 12,000 years ago when
8:30
they were alive. Wait, no, this sounds
8:32
like the group of people from Castle
8:35
Main who just remade Jurassic Park. Could
8:37
have seen the trailer for that? Yeah,
8:39
I did. Yeah, they're just uni students
8:41
who are like, hey, why don't
8:43
we completely remake the trailer for
8:45
Jurassic Park? It looks incredible, mind you.
8:47
They've actually done frame for frame. But
8:50
this just sounds like that. We've already
8:52
tried to dole. We've already tried to
8:54
dole. But Die Wolves, and this is
8:57
what they've done with the Jurassic Park
8:59
thing, because they're trying to be working
9:01
on the Tasmanian tiger, the dodo and
9:04
the mammoth. No one knew they're on
9:06
the Die Wolf, but it's worked. They're
9:08
larger than Grey Wolves and have a
9:10
slightly wider head and thick fur and
9:12
a stronger jaw. And they said it's
9:14
a massive milestone. The first of many
9:16
coming examples demonstrating that our end-to-end e
9:19
extinction technology stack works. So they got
9:21
DNA from a 13,000- year-old tooth. and
9:23
a 72,000 year old skull
9:25
and made some healthy dire
9:27
wolf. Puppies. I don't believe
9:29
it. I want to see,
9:31
but can we... Matt, Matt,
9:34
I get a dial if
9:36
I go, nah, don't like
9:38
dogs. Sorry. Yes, you're a
9:40
deextincted ancient species, but you
9:42
know what the problem is?
9:44
Can you not be up
9:46
in my grill about? Yeah,
9:48
too needy. You're too needy,
9:50
Die Wolf. Hey, if you've
9:52
seen Game of Thrones, like
9:54
Die Wolves are the best
9:56
companions, right? Shit, because I bet
9:59
it probably doesn't. on the grass in
10:01
your backyard. I tell you what, if
10:03
they're bigger than wolves, you know. That
10:05
is a lot clean up, I can
10:07
admit, yeah. I don't think they've adapted
10:09
to the current, you know, diet of
10:11
the dogs these days. That stuff's gonna
10:13
pass straight through them, mate. Yeah, they're
10:16
not eating the ancient grains and the,
10:18
uh, they're not eating mammoth these days.
10:20
I don't think the, uh, what they
10:22
put into the, the old dog food
10:24
is ready for that dire wolf kind
10:26
of diet. But, but, uh, uh, uh,
10:28
uh, it's pretty, It's pretty amazing stuff.
10:31
They're now living in a
10:33
2000 acre undisclosed location featuring
10:35
a three meter tall zoo
10:37
grade fencing where they're monitored
10:39
by security personnel. I mean... This does
10:41
sound like the guy at the
10:43
start of Jurassic Park going, don't
10:45
worry, you've got electrified fencing. You
10:48
know, you've got, you've got a
10:50
zoo grade. It's absolutely zoo grade
10:52
to keep these ancient extinct wolves
10:54
at bay. Come on people. We
10:56
need better than zoo grade. I
10:58
have seen much better than zoo
11:00
grade. The little picks of them,
11:03
like, look at, like, look at
11:05
that, they look so cute. They
11:07
look so cute. I would let
11:09
it happen. It is pretty adorable.
11:11
And it shows... Do they have
11:13
albino ones though? Because they're the
11:15
cool ones. Is that the... Yeah,
11:17
they're white. Yeah, because all of
11:19
these diawals seem completely white.
11:22
Right? It is pretty amazing. And
11:24
it's very, very cool. This Dallas
11:26
Bay's company, you know, with this
11:28
kind of technology can bring things
11:30
back from the dead, can de-extinct,
11:32
as they say. And I'm just
11:34
wondering, you know... When I'm a DJ,
11:36
you know, I'm just trying to go
11:39
across between people. I wonder if like
11:41
me being a DJ, these biotech company
11:43
takes requests. Oh, you know, you're
11:45
leaning over the booth. Yeah, three a.m.
11:48
Yeah, because I've got a cruiser in
11:50
your hand say, hey, excuse me. Do
11:52
you do? Sorry guys, do you mind
11:54
if I make a couple of requests?
11:57
So here are my top five D
11:59
extinction request. of this biotech
12:01
company. MSN Messenger, we
12:04
need to bring that back
12:06
from the dead because when it
12:08
comes to Chattanooga, it was the
12:10
superior messaging service. Absolutely. No, why
12:12
can't another messaging surface bring in
12:14
a peer offline where people don't
12:17
realize that you can see their
12:19
message? I don't want to talk
12:21
to these people, but I wouldn't
12:23
mind seeing who's around. There is
12:25
no service that I can use
12:28
to ask someone out and then
12:30
say lull my friend just my
12:32
computer. Exactly. Anymore, you know, it's
12:34
totally not cool. We need it back.
12:36
We need the funny screen names and the
12:38
user names. We need the hot mail accounts.
12:41
Biotech, get it happening. Please. Take
12:43
him on the phrase, talk to the hand.
12:45
Now this had a moment. Mad O'Kine and
12:48
I'm not sure if it was you know
12:50
climate change or something that made it go
12:52
extinct but talk to the hand just put
12:54
a full stop at the end of a
12:56
sentence that is very I can't get out
12:58
of conversations these days yeah you know you're
13:01
having I'm having a lot of conversation I
13:03
just need to be able to say talk
13:05
to the hand and then just move away.
13:07
Do you add the because the face don't
13:09
care? The face don't want to hear it.
13:12
Look I'm not sure they have the
13:14
technology that they have the technology
13:16
to add that to the request
13:18
to the request. This one's reaching
13:20
a little bit further back, but
13:23
so I'm not sure if we've
13:25
got some ancient DNA We can
13:27
we can get to bring this
13:29
one back out of extinction cod
13:32
pieces You know why? Hey, why
13:34
can't we bring back that sort
13:36
of genital Expanding protectionist sort of
13:38
cricket box? Well, that's it. If
13:41
you're if you're holding a cricket
13:43
bat, oh, it's perfectly normal.
13:45
Yeah Exactly. If you're not,
13:47
you're some weirdo lop who's,
13:49
you know, doing some sort
13:51
of cosplay from the 1900s.
13:53
This is back when bloody
13:55
men were men, Enrollo Juliet
13:57
days, you know, just rocking
13:59
that. cod piece out in the
14:01
open showing people what they're packing.
14:03
Okay? And just keeping things safe.
14:05
Why did people wear cod pieces?
14:08
That is... They were made of
14:10
steel and added to armor to
14:12
protect a night's fertility on the
14:14
battlefield. Exactly. At the moment we're
14:16
all walking around with our fertility
14:19
unprotected at the moments. Can
14:21
we... Why are people looking into
14:23
this? You know what? It's never occurred to
14:25
me that at any moment. A jouster
14:27
could come and take my fertility
14:29
right now. Exactly right. Your fertility
14:31
is on the line currently. All
14:33
right. So you've got to protect,
14:35
we protect ourselves from scammers, we
14:37
protect ourselves from hackers. Why can't
14:40
we protect ourselves from jousters in
14:42
everyday life? That's another thing we
14:44
need to de-extinct, I reckon. All
14:46
right, we also need to bring
14:48
back. Okay, need to take out
14:50
of extinction. It being cool to play
14:52
Wonder Wall on acoustic guitar at a
14:54
party. Oh my god, I've been wanting
14:56
this for years. Because it's the only
14:58
song I know how to play. Remember
15:01
it? Like just as it came out
15:03
when people would have played it at
15:05
a party for the first time and
15:07
people would have swooned instead of rolling
15:10
their eyes and going, this guy is
15:12
the biggest square of all. I firmly
15:14
remember year 11 drama class. The class
15:16
got cancelled because the teacher forgot something
15:18
and so we just had to have
15:21
free play basically and there was
15:23
a guitar there and I
15:25
busted out some wonderful and boy
15:27
oh boy! Did I get an
15:30
audience? And boy, oh boy, do
15:32
I remember overstaying my welcome.
15:34
Like, wait, don't tell me you
15:36
sent it in scheme. You were
15:39
the asteroid that hit the
15:41
earth and made playing it at
15:43
parties. I remember the moment where
15:46
I just launched into yet
15:48
another song and everyone went, oh,
15:50
he doesn't get it. We just
15:52
wanted the one. Do all. Yeah.
15:55
So, out of extinction, please. And
15:57
finally, bring back Adam and Will.
15:59
the triple J. It's about time. It's
16:02
about time. Those extinct, you've got
16:04
to, we've got to get to
16:06
DNA from their fossils and get
16:08
them back. Never been the same.
16:10
It has never been. Chumps afterwards.
16:12
It's chumps who filled their spots
16:14
afterwards. So that's what I reckon
16:16
should come back from extinction. This
16:18
is Matt. No, it's all day
16:20
breakfast. Yeah,
16:31
we asked Alex. Alex. Can I
16:33
ask you a question? It's called?
16:36
Ask Alex. Yes, it says the
16:38
segment in which we ask,
16:40
Alex, potential future, um, Senator
16:42

16:44
damn it. I just, it's
16:46
only like 24 days till
16:49
the election or something.
16:51
I just forget, I'd
16:53
never, they're doing this
16:55
for a year, man.
16:57
The House of Representative
16:59
for Juananan. potential future
17:01
member for one but
17:03
also X guidance counselor
17:05
for girlfriend magazine and
17:08
he is here to
17:10
help you for whatever
17:12
you may need just like
17:14
Melanie. Hey Alex my
17:16
question is how can
17:18
you become a casual
17:20
friend with someone who wants
17:23
to be your like right or
17:25
die? Now what do you reckon Matt?
17:27
That's not a romantic right or die.
17:29
I reckon this is a bestie friend
17:32
right or die someone who's inviting you
17:34
on you know overseas holidays someone who's
17:36
wants to get the hair braiding happening
17:39
wants to go through everything with someone
17:41
someone else who's you know probably not
17:43
in that same friendship level. Well, I
17:46
mean, this is a complex matter, isn't
17:48
it? Because as you get older, you
17:50
do start realizing that making friends is
17:53
as difficult and as challenging at times
17:55
as finding the lifelong partner. You
17:57
know, getting a new bestie, it doesn't.
18:00
It doesn't come easily. And so when
18:02
someone has caught feelings for you. Caught
18:04
friend feelings. Yeah, caught friend feelings and
18:06
does want to, you know, be there
18:08
till the end for better or for
18:11
worse for sickness and in health. Yeah,
18:13
how do you say, hey, happy to
18:15
catch up once a month for a
18:17
coffee or something? Yeah, like send them
18:19
a message to in the morning, hey,
18:22
you up, let's chat. It is tricky
18:24
when and I guess you sort of
18:26
feel it when one person's filling up.
18:28
doing those texts like I wouldn't believe just
18:30
what what just happened and then say what happened and
18:33
then that and then that anyway what are you up
18:35
to and that and you just you're very busy yeah
18:37
you're quite a busy and so that's there and then
18:39
the next time they call up you go oh I
18:41
gotta say sorry I didn't get back to you or
18:43
sorry about this in one person just putting more and
18:45
more effort into the friendship and you're just not at
18:47
that level that you need to be able to be
18:49
able to be able to yeah the question I wonder
18:51
is is the person getting frustrated Does
18:54
the person care? Because sometimes
18:56
people just give different
18:58
levels, you know, and then
19:01
other times, do you know
19:03
what, look, I'll talk about
19:05
this situation in year nine,
19:07
I had a friend who, um.
19:09
You know, I think he wanted to ride with
19:12
me for quite a while. He was, you
19:14
know, always saved a seat next to him
19:16
in class. To the point where every time
19:18
I walked into class, I was like, oh
19:20
my God, I don't want to sit next
19:22
to this guy again. But you got to
19:24
mix it up. Yeah, but after about three,
19:26
four months, I remember one day I
19:28
walked into class, he hadn't saved the
19:30
seat next to him. I was like... Oh,
19:32
what's going on? Oh, and I was
19:34
like, hey! Be careful what you wish
19:37
for. Yeah, and then I was like,
19:39
well, I really liked having that. And
19:41
then I'm like, oh, so what, we're not
19:43
that close? And I, just as I
19:45
was starting to come, like, open
19:48
up to you and become close
19:50
with you. And now you're turning
19:52
away from me. So maybe, you
19:54
know, maybe you're just going at
19:57
different, you're different, you're different
19:59
paces. open conversation and Melanie say
20:01
exactly to your friends what you said
20:03
to us and that's, hey I don't
20:05
have the capacity for this, you're going
20:07
to be a bit more casual friends
20:09
and catch up because I don't know
20:11
I'm just feeling like I'm behind on
20:13
the replies and you deserve more but
20:15
I can't give more and have that
20:17
open conversation or Is there some sort
20:19
of technicality or finesseing that Melanie can
20:21
do to try and extract herself like
20:23
you did from that situation and just
20:25
get it back to the level that
20:27
Melanie's comfortable with? I would always just
20:29
say, give it all you can afford
20:31
to give. Yep. Oh, you want to
20:33
give? Yep. And if they eventually get
20:35
to the point where they're like, hey,
20:37
what's up, like I'm always inviting you
20:39
to things, you're always saying no, etc.,
20:41
then you just have to be honest
20:44
and go, yeah, I'm just, there's just
20:46
so much stuff going on at the
20:48
moment, I can't really, I can't really
20:50
keep up with everything that you'd like,
20:52
and I'm, you know, apologies, I'm giving
20:54
everything I can in the time, that's
20:56
it. letting the guilt or the whatever
20:58
of someone else's expectations come into it
21:00
and then only and then and only
21:02
then if you're challenged Donator if it's
21:04
brought up you can go oh yeah
21:06
I'm sorry but this is as much
21:08
as I can devote time as I
21:10
can devote to this kind of stuff
21:12
anymore because you've got work I've got
21:14
relationships I've got parents and families and
21:16
all that sort of stuff and so
21:18
that's probably the way to go Melanie
21:20
well good luck but uh I'll let
21:22
you know right now that you are
21:24
all Our right or dies every single
21:26
one of you yes We are here
21:28
with you until the end any time
21:30
or day you just call us up
21:32
sliding those dams. Yeah, we're ready 100%
21:34
you time That's all I see exactly
21:36
And the good thing is if you
21:38
do want to sort of slightly back
21:40
out of this relationship. We won't probably
21:42
know The ratings of our podcast might
21:44
go down a little bit. We'll go
21:46
wonder but we won't know explicitly you
21:48
unless it's you unless it's you,

if it's you.
