Mel Greig on The Mike
Single again after a very public break-up with her husband, radio and TV star Mel Greig is no stranger to controversy. Years after the royal family prank that went horribly wrong Mel is getting her life back on track. A radio show, dating column and a sexual land speed record that I really need to see to believe. Look oout! Mel Greig is back on the prowl and by the sounds of things shes a man eater. Hehe. I know you’re reading this Mel. She probably just screamed,”WHAT!” Ok you’re not that bad.

MUM and HOGES
The “Hoges” mini series on Channel 7 starring Josh Lawson as Hoges was a blast and I can tell you first hand that Josh absolutely nails it. I was lucky enough to get a small role on the series as an American TV reporter interviewing Paul and his wife Delvine Delaney who in real life actually introduced my parents!! Is that weird or what??! I also did a couple of news style anchorman reports that tie together the story in this series where I had to grow this big cheesey 80 mustache and wear Miami vice style pastels. There is so much to this iconic Australians rise to fame that I didn’t know until being a part of this incredible mini series produced by Freemantle media and directed by Kevin Carlin . Love Kevin! He’s awesome to work with!! I’m sure Australians and other people around the world who watch this series will love Australia’s favorite son even more after seeing this series. Incredibly proud to be a part of it!
What is even more cool is the fact that Hoges side kick on the Paul Hogan show, Delvine Delaney introduced my mum and dad in real life. Mum says it like this.
“So I was in the Miss Australian Beach Girl Competition in 1971 and Delvine Delaney was chaperone for the Queensland representative. Then this guy called Grant Goldman came to meet his friend Delvine Delaney at the Contactio Motel, which is no longer around when I was introduced. After winning the competition I went on my winning trip to Hawaii, then when I got back there was a disco in town where I was and Grant came up and introduced himself. We went on a date after that and made two lovely boys, Mike and Jay Goldman.”
Mum back then and now sailing around Australia with her salty sea dog,”Dallas Williams”.
The Pensioner Pirates.
Nice one mum! She now sails around Australia and writes a blog called “Pensioner Pirates”.

Episode 29 – James Kerley
This week’s podcast is the very special James Kerley.
He has hosted some of the coolest shows in Australia, like Balls of Steel, Channel 7, Nickelodeon, Sarvo, Taken Out and The Grammys. He’s a great friend and we have always wanted to work together so we have to settle for a crappy podcast for the minute.
At the end of the podcast, I try out a new segment where we take a look at some great Aussie history. By the way, he didn’t host the Grammys, but I think he would have been awesome if he did.
Episode 28 – Darren Sanders
<br>He has his own Tonight show, Comedy Club, Podcast and apparently still has his real hair. Darren Sanders is an Australian comedy legend with some great stories and an incredible comedy career. Why wouldn’t we put him On The Mike? Please subscribe and give us a cheeky review and we will love you forever. Maybe even have your baby.
