Kyle: When do you regret telling the truth?

Darren: Uh, never

Jackie: Was there a moment

Darren: Uh, no, I've always been, especially lyrically on records, I'm always really really truthful about it. I'm too, I've got like, uh, I don't edit myself. So, *laughs* I could regret that everyday, I'm constantly saying things I probably shouldn't.

Jackie: But, you don't really regret it

Darren: My god you've got nice breasts.

Darren: Oops! See, there it goes again *laughs*

Kyle: Why thank you, ah, you're talking about Jackie

Jackie: Things you've given away and now you want back

Darren: My Star Wars collection that were original vintage toys, when I was about 14, we didn't have a lot of money, so I sold them all for Christmas presents, and I've spent my entire adult years paying extrordinary amounts of money to buy them back, but I ave them all now

Kyle: What's the most stupid thing you've ever done on a date?

Darren: Oh, god, sum the person up and uh, tell them that they didn't live up to my expectations. *laughs*

Kyle: That wouldn't have gone over very well!

Jackie: Oh, no well, you do like being honest don't you?

Darren: ya

Jackie: Do you look in the medicine cabinet when visiting friends?

Darren: All the time! I love finding creams for rashes! Cos you know a lot about someone if you find some of those

Kyle: What actually pisses you off the most?

Darren: What kisses me off the most?

Kyle: Pisses, like what do you hate?

Darren: Uh, what do I hate? I hate bad service, because I worked in a record store, and I would work for the milkman. And I used to carry the box out at the grocery store so I know what it's like to good at your job, and I hate it when people aren't good at their job.

Jackie: Aren't good at their job and don't put the effort into it

Darren: Yea!

Kyle: Sorry everyone. I'll try harder from now on!

Jackie: Ok, have you ever spied on anyone?

Darren: Uh, no not really, I'd feel guilty, I'd open someone's diary and go *shock noise* oops, feel bad. No, also, ok sometimes when I'm staying in hotels, sometimes I'll open the windows and look out at other the high rises, and sometimes people have got their windows open, and sometimes they've got their clothes off, and so--*cuts himself off and coughs*

Jackie: You can do that

Darren: Yea, apparently it's happened

Kyle: *says something I can't make out*

Jackie: Kyle's got the last qquestion

Kyle: when did you chuck the biggest tantrum of your career? Go on, don't bull shit to us, we know you must've done it once, coz I'm doing it daily around here

Darren: Yea I have chucked big tanties um, The biggest one was probably a years ago, we were on tour in Japan, and our sound engineer was just um, completely off his face on something, and I don't tolerate that kind of behavior and the first seven songs of the show I didn't have any sound whatesoever in my ears and so I walked off stage and I, I was quite angry with him, he doesn't work for us anymore.

Jackie: Oh, well there you go that's alright

Kyle: That's what happens

Jackie: Well, Darren Hayes, it's been a pleasure, thanks for coming in.

Darren: Aww, thanks for having me, I'm sorry it's so late and um, just you know, just be good

Jackie: Oh, good luck with Savage Garden, and hey, good luck w the closing ceremony, we'll be watching you and praying that you don't fall off.

Kyle: Well, let me just ask, the whole bloody world is going to be watching and if you disgrace the country I'll gonna be the first one standing up and going, 'Hey, I told you not to disgrace the country you moron!'

Darren: *laughs* aww, well, I think you know, you've got to watch me, and I'm just not going to move at all. I'm just gonna be really static coz I'll be really frightened that I'll fall of the stage.

Kyle: There's one more thing I need to know before you go, are you going to be singing live or is it all on casingle?(??)

Darren: Cassingle, well I don't think they make them anymore, I'm pretty sure we're singing live

Hosts: good

Kyle: Now, now you've heard Jackie's and my song

Darren: Thanks guys
