A listener, production. To colorful,

loopy, pretty rings of

0:07

deliciousness on the nutritional

0:09

ladder of healthy living.

0:11

It's Matt and Alex all day

0:13

breakfast. Well, well, it was bad

0:15

news for a plane pilot, Alex

0:18

Dyson, who forgot his passport. Yeah

0:20

we talked about planes turning back

0:22

to pick up a phone and

0:24

lo and behold a pilot took

0:26

off from Los Angeles to fly

0:28

to China and had to turn

0:30

around because he forgot his passport

0:33

on the flight. Just patting the

0:35

pockets in the cockpit just like

0:37

oh no back we go although

0:39

if you're at the airport he

0:41

could have he could have just

0:43

not gone through customs at the other

0:46

side couldn't even just fly back. wouldn't

0:48

you have to oh no maybe he

0:50

left it at the the like in

0:53

the airport well the thing is they

0:55

flew from Los Angeles but on the

0:57

way back they stopped in San Fran

0:59

and so he stayed in America so

1:02

he didn't leave America with his passport

1:04

and then they found a new plane

1:06

and group of people to fly the

1:09

people to Shag eyes and they ended

1:11

up getting six in six hours late

1:13

257 passengers but oh gosh people

1:15

just need to be more organized

1:17

don't they? Well, look, we've got

1:20

a massive show and something that

1:22

we weren't at all planning on

1:24

talking about until you decided to

1:26

wave it in front of me

1:28

just now and I thought I

1:31

would like to hear a lot

1:33

more about that. Gosh, yes, as

1:35

the election in Australia is still

1:37

yet to be announced at the

1:40

time of recording, we are gearing

1:42

up because Alex Eisen is running

1:44

for an election. place, whatever it's

1:46

called. And I still don't know.

1:49

I was gonna say the Senate,

1:51

but I can't, is it the

1:54

Senate? I can never remember. Anyways,

1:56

No, it's not the Senate. I

1:58

can never remember. He's running for

2:01

the House of Representatives. for an

2:03

election place. But there's been some

2:05

more smear campaigns floating around out

2:08

there, some more propaganda that we

2:10

are desperately want to dive into.

2:13

Trying to smear our boy, so

2:15

let's let's have a listen to

2:17

it. Hey, it's Matt Nikes all

2:20

day breakfast. Hope you're having a

2:22

good month. Let's get this show

2:24

on the road. Let's go. Here

2:27

we go, here we go, here

2:29

we go. Yes, there's an election

2:32

place in southwest Victoria. It's called

2:34

Wannan. It is where I am

2:36

from. And so for three elections

2:39

now, Matt, I have run for

2:41

to become the independent member of

2:43

the lower house, the House of

2:46

Representatives for Wannan. first time around

2:48

got 10% of the vote that

2:51

was pretty sick second time around

2:53

got to the two party preferred

2:55

46% to 54% and this time

2:58

around going for so I can

3:00

start wearing the suits turn it

3:02

up to Canberra and hopefully doing

3:05

a good job of representing the

3:07

people of Warren and getting us

3:10

the fair share and the better

3:12

deal that we deserve but given

3:14

I'm getting quite close There's been

3:17

a noticeable increase as you're probably

3:19

well aware on this podcast of

3:21

the negative tactics Yeah this week

3:24

in the letterbox photo of your

3:26

boy Alex Dyson with the Headline

3:29

10 facts about independent Alex Dyson

3:31

and then underneath they've taken a

3:33

photo from my Instagram from 20

3:36

15 in which we did a

3:38

comedy sketch in the lead up

3:40

to our hump and grind hip-hop

3:43

party bat of me saying the

3:45

popo is going to jack my

3:48

vibe and giving the flipping the

3:50

bird at the police cars as

3:52

a joke in 2015 and unfortunately

3:55

that is now that is now

3:57

the basis of them saying Alex

3:59

Dyson has no respect for our

4:02

hardworking police. It's like taking a

4:04

photo of Heath Ledger as the

4:07

joker and saying he's... I'm like,

4:09

no, he's dressed up in a

4:11

costume. It's not him. He's playing

4:14

a character. It's unbelievable. It looks

4:16

like Heath's ledges, a criminal mastermind.

4:18

No, it's a photo from a

4:21

play. Ten facts about Heath. He

4:23

tried to bring down Gotham City.

4:27

Here's what I do when I ask

4:29

before we get into what the 10

4:32

facts. Okay facts Yeah, all right now

4:34

Often people ask you know me and

4:36

you and you anyone in the media

4:38

they get this well, you know, how

4:41

do you feel about the haters? You

4:43

know, is it difficult commandat hate? Because

4:45

you do get a lot of hate

4:48

when you're in this job. People just

4:50

decide they don't like what you got

4:52

to say and that's fine. That's part

4:55

of life and you sort of get

4:57

used to it. But how is it

4:59

affecting you? You know, emotionally at this

5:02

stage, you know, because you're not really

5:04

from this background. Yeah, it's annoying because

5:06

it does create a whirlwind of negativity

5:09

and that's one of the reasons I

5:11

got into politics was to stop that,

5:13

you know, to have people go, well

5:16

I want to prioritize this particular thing

5:18

and people go, well I want to

5:20

prioritize this particular thing and people go,

5:23

well I want to prioritize this particular

5:25

thing and then you can talk about

5:27

it and go, oh great, well if

5:30

you like that vote for this person,

5:32

if that's your election issue, you know,

5:34

like you want to get out of

5:37

that. So it's annoying, it's weirdly violating.

5:39

other people that is violating. It's a

5:41

bit weird, like, because this is the

5:44

thing, a fact, Alex Dyson is anti-police,

5:46

that is not a fact. I am

5:48

very pro-pro, I have great respect for

5:50

jobs that I could not do. Yeah,

5:53

that's weird that they can say that.

5:55

Isn't that defamation though? If, well, like,

5:57

I know that I've said it. They've,

6:00

this has been absolute, I'm sure 100%

6:02

vetted by the lawyers to try. and

6:04

make sure that they're not specifically bringing

6:07

up the various things. But like, fact

6:09

number three, disrespects our defense forces. How?

6:11

What do they say that you do?

6:14

Well, it's, they've taken something from our

6:16

time doing this podcast, Matt. Oh my

6:18

God. I'm so sorry. I think I've

6:21

cost you this election. They claim that

6:23

I disrespected the defense forces. Can you

6:25

remember what it is? Does

6:28

this photo jog your memory? Describe

6:30

what you're seeing there. Because that

6:32

is the very top of my

6:35

tush, my friend. Yeah, but what

6:37

are you doing? You're dancing or

6:39

something? Do you remember in Western

6:41

Australia? They were... they were launching

6:43

like an Australian boat and having

6:46

some ceremony and then they got

6:48

some people to do a funny

6:50

hip-hop dance at the at the

6:52

launch and the ABC put out

6:55

this video of like these people

6:57

dancing and these people from the

6:59

defense force watching them dance and

7:01

looking a bit weird and if

7:04

these people had any idea of

7:06

what comedy was at all? The

7:08

point is, and this is what

7:10

I'm saying, that that, I'm saying

7:12

how inappropriate it looked to have

7:15

that kind of stuff at a

7:17

defense force, you know, launch. And

7:19

so the point, I'm making that

7:21

point. I'm saying, yeah, it wasn't

7:24

that a weird thing. It wasn't

7:26

me. So what are your other,

7:28

what are the other facts? Well,

7:30

they say I was involved in

7:32

a disgusting joke in my time

7:35

at Triple J with not with

7:37

you Matt, but with Tom Ballard

7:39

The problem was was my involvement

7:41

Was the person going no, no,

7:44

no, that's terrible. Let's add the

7:46

segment yeah, you literally said that

7:48

yeah, yeah, so that was your

7:50

involvement saying hey, that's not funny.

7:53

Don't say that yeah, it's crazy.

7:55

It's literally people are out there

7:57

implying that I I said what

7:59

Tom Ballard said and like we've

8:01

got legal advice and they've literally

8:04

defamed me. So if I wanted

8:06

to, I could quite easily go

8:08

to court and do that. Really?

8:10

But it takes, but it takes

8:13

away from the actual issues. Like

8:15

unlike them, I want to make

8:17

this election about. the electorate and

8:19

the people there, not make it

8:22

about myself, about Okon. Wow. And

8:24

so, yeah. You are so much

8:26

better than me. I would take

8:28

them to the cleaners. I would

8:30

absolutely be rinsing. I'd try to

8:33

get every dollar I could squeezed

8:35

out of them. But you're actually

8:37

a decent person so far enough.

8:39

So my involvement was the person

8:42

going, no, no, no, no. That's

8:44

like saying that, you know, like...

8:46

Oh, the police were involved in

8:48

a murder on the weekend because

8:51

they were there to arrest the

8:53

person. Oh, but they were involved.

8:55

They were involved. Yeah, yeah. They're

8:57

saying independence, mostly with the Greens.

8:59

But if you actually look up

9:02

like Zali Stegel's voting record, for

9:04

example, or Kate Cheney and his

9:06

independent from Perth. Give me some

9:08

others. There's no other good

9:11

ones. Well, then I just I

9:13

don't want to know good one

9:15

I just want to know just

9:17

tell me what they all are

9:19

list them all off it risks

9:21

a minority government It risks a

9:23

minority government. That's a fact. Yeah

9:25

Yeah, but they don't say well

9:27

if if it's a minority government

9:29

then the independence have a lot

9:31

more power to actually get things

9:33

for their area Yeah, exactly it

9:35

risks that's that doesn't sound like

9:37

the worst thing No, certainly not

9:39

if you vote independent. It's a

9:42

great thing if you vote independent

9:44

and there's a there's a minority

9:46

government That's fantastic. It's terrible for

9:48

the liberal and labor parties. Are

9:50

there any can you concede that

9:52

that like Actually do make you

9:54

look bad and you don't have

9:56

any defense for you know, it

9:58

does does does it say Alex

10:00

Tyson hates Thomas? No, it doesn't

10:02

have that. Okay, well look I

10:04

got a tell our little liberal

10:06

mole who's like sneaking around in

10:08

the in the woods here at

10:10

the moment on this podcast our

10:13

our mole Alex Dyson hate Thomas

10:15

okay and if you really want

10:17

to bring him down you published

10:19

that on a on a single

10:21

DL and I tell you what

10:23

that's the end of his career

10:25

okay game over game over man

10:36

But what's been going on in your

10:38

life, Matt O'Kine? I don't want to

10:40

make this all about the election and

10:43

the negative campaigning of the major parties

10:45

down here. Well, I mean, I'm trying

10:47

to do my best to help out

10:49

the community as well by opening up

10:52

a wine shop. There you go. Promoting

10:54

drugs, Matt, that's what you're doing. Well,

10:56

I tell you what, yeah, I've got

10:59

a... Alcohol is a drug, Matt, Matt,

11:01

so... I've got to do an RSA

11:03

at the moment and yeah, don't I

11:06

know that alcohol is a drug? I'm

11:08

currently about halfway through it. So it's

11:10

only a, it's on an online thing

11:13

in Queensland, the responsible service of alcohol?

11:15

Yeah, so look, I'm a bit, it's,

11:17

there's some interesting sort of stuff in

11:20

the RSA, you've done one, haven't you?

11:22

Certainly have. It was an in-person one

11:24

in Victoria that you do it in

11:26

person, so you have a person there

11:29

for a couple of hours, sort of

11:31

teaching you about it all, giving you

11:33

the tricks to sort of notice if

11:36

people are intoxicated and don't need any

11:38

more alcohol, some suggestions as to how

11:40

to let them know that you won't

11:43

be serving them again, encouraging consumption of

11:45

food, encouraging drinking of water, these kind

11:47

of techniques to make sure everyone is

11:50

safe and sound when participating in something

11:52

which... can be absolutely great and you

11:54

have a few drinks and a bit

11:57

of fun but has some problematic elements.

11:59

which could mean it leads to worse

12:01

outcomes. Well, I know, I mean, that's

12:04

a thing like, because our wine shop

12:06

is a very low-key kind of store.

12:08

It's not like, it's like people might

12:10

be doing like little tastes and samples

12:13

and stuff like that. You know, you

12:15

say that now, but I tell you

12:17

what. Oh, there was a little, little

12:20

chip, chicken and chip shop in Melbourne

12:22

which had fat boy slim coming DJ

12:24

recently. Just see the footage of that.

12:27

So you wait. Because if, if fat

12:29

boy is, if old Norman is going

12:31

through brizzy and says, where could I

12:34

perform, I reckon you'll be having that

12:36

wine store rave for my friend. Now

12:38

you got me really nervous. I can't

12:41

fit fat boy. I can't fit the

12:43

slim in there. Oh, you do what

12:45

you do. Make sure you get in.

12:48

It is like, uh, it does feel

12:50

like a big kind of, I don't

12:52

know. That's a huge responsibility. Have you

12:54

had to, have you had to, like,

12:57

kick someone out before, Diceau? We've had

12:59

to, yeah, let people know that there's

13:01

had enough, you know, making sure you're

13:04

pouring the right amounts of things. Like

13:06

if you're doing a wine shop, there's

13:08

a standard drink or wine, you're not

13:11

filling it up to the brim like

13:13

a coffee, all right, not just make

13:15

sure when you're in the wine shop.

13:18

I don't want to be in the

13:20

glass with surface tension, okay mate, we

13:22

can't be having that, please. The meniscus

13:25

just domed up. No, we can only

13:27

do samples and stuff like that. So

13:29

it's like, but that's, but I mean,

13:32

you know, you never know what people

13:34

have done before they've arrived at the

13:36

shop or anything like that. And have

13:38

you, has anyone ever called you out

13:41

for like, have you ever had to

13:43

like, sort of be like, how you

13:45

got to leave? And then they're like,

13:48

I thought you were all right, broke,

13:50

Diso. There, there was anything like that,

13:52

but there was on time, like a

13:55

guy got aggressive, like a guy got

13:57

aggressive and we had to get rid

13:59

of him. after being told it was

14:02

no more drinks, thank you very much.

14:04

And it's tough doing the right thing

14:06

to have that kind of thing in

14:09

there, but yeah. Yeah, most people are

14:11

great and understand. And yeah, I think

14:13

if you follow all the procedures that

14:16

they teach you, you should be all

14:18

right. All right, well, I guess, you

14:20

know, I'm gonna have to remove the

14:22

hills hoist and cask wines that we

14:25

had pegged up on the closed. But

14:27

the hills hoist in the middle of

14:29

the store. Bad. Like, it wouldn't pass,

14:32

but it'd go off until you were

14:34

shut down by the authorities. I'm sure

14:36

you'd be a very popular venue. Goon

14:39

of Fortune in store. Yeah, no, that's

14:41

not on. That does not pass the

14:43

sniff test. Yes,

14:58

this is a segment in

15:00

which I attempt Madokine to

15:02

blow your mind Alex Dyson

15:04

With a fact that I've

15:06

learned across the course of

15:08

the week and This one

15:10

takes me into music actually

15:12

It was supplied by someone

15:15

on Instagram who I always

15:17

promise I'm going to remember

15:19

to credit whoever sends me

15:21

these things. And I always

15:23

think, okay, I've got to

15:25

remember this and then I

15:27

just don't. So to the

15:29

person who's sent it to

15:31

me, I apologize. You know

15:34

who you are. Yes. Now,

15:36

do you know the song?

15:38

Love in you is easy

15:40

because you're beautiful. No. No,

15:42

are you kidding? That's the

15:44

whole point of this mind-blown

15:46

fact revolves around you needing

15:48

to know this song You've

15:50

never heard that song there

15:53

was an episode of South

15:55

Park where they had to

15:57

do he like the the

15:59

I think it was the

16:01

teacher was going to sing

16:03

that song and when he

16:05

got the high bit the

16:07

it's like a really really

16:09

high note and then the

16:12

bomb was going to go

16:14

off but he can't hit

16:16

it because no one can

16:18

hit it it's like a

16:20

really difficult what's who's a

16:22

boy was that was that

16:24

take on me? It's by

16:26

Minnie Rippeton, okay? And Richard

16:28

Rudolph. Who the hell is

16:31

Minnie Rippeton? This is getting

16:33

worse and worse. Oh my

16:35

God. James, producer James, you

16:37

know who Minnie Rippeton is?

16:39

I've got no idea. Okay,

16:41

do you know the song

16:43

though? Loving you. No, never

16:45

heard of it. No. This

16:48

could be your own song

16:50

you just made up for

16:52

all I know? It's mind

16:54

blowing that you'd think... Minnie

16:56

Rippeton is common knowledge. Well

16:58

forget the rest of the

17:00

fact. No, you gotta go

17:02

through with it now. Well,

17:04

I'm obviously gonna get a

17:07

groan. Look, listen, that song

17:09

is by Minnie Rippeton. It

17:11

was written by Rippeton and

17:13

her husband, Richard Rudolph. It

17:15

was produced by Richard Rudolph

17:17

and Stevie Wonder. It was

17:19

released in 1974. Mini Rippeton

17:21

was quite a famous sort

17:23

of soul singer in the

17:26

70s. Anyways, that song is

17:28

not about like a lover,

17:30

it is about her daughter

17:32

and her son I believe,

17:34

and her daughter is Maya

17:36

Rudolph. That's all. That's the

17:38

fact. But it doesn't mean

17:40

anything if you don't know

17:42

the song. There

17:45

you go. Great. Oh, shut up

17:47

both you. I don't even want

17:50

it. No, I'm out. I'll tell

17:52

you what, I don't love you.

17:55

Do, do, do, do, do, do.

17:57
