it's the fairy tale, don't we It's the Rapunzel throwing
her hair down and you climbing up the side of
the tower of a tower to get to your love
(00:28):

and that's how it's going to end up. And then

Speaker 1 (00:51):
This is the Fitz and Whipper with Kate Richie Podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
There has been a proposal for an outback town to
be turned into Australia's version of Las Vegas.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Broken Hill? What Broken Hill? And you're gonna have to
change the name to start with?
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I mean this guy, he's a buyer's agent and obviously
he wants people to buy some real estate at Britain
Broken Hill, but he said it has the potential. It's
a prime candidate for a future tourist mecca and you
can turn it into a Broken Hill.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
He said, why can't I have a.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
What can't it be known as the resort city with
a casino, flash hotels, a world class arts center, a
professional sports stadium, a major university. He said, Oh, we
need we need someone like a Richard Branson to get
involved in the governments.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
It's a great place to live. It's not a bad idea.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Could Broken Hill be Australia's Las Vegas?
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Oh my god, boys, weekend lock it in Broken Hill?
I mean you'd have to change it to Money Hill
or something like that, or Party Hill. You can't go
with Broken Hill because it just sounds like the pass
end of the earth.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
So what is it?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
What does anyone know what the flight from Sydney to
Broken Hill is?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
How long is that? The flight from La to Vegas
is one hour? Isn't it?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
It's one hour? And that's what you need. It needs
to be very close to a metro city that you
can just jump onto a plane and quickly go out
to Broken Hill to have that.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
It's two weektes.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, or a twelve hour drive.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Oh damn, it's too far, tom, I mean it's it's
on the border of New South Wales and South Australia West.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
You know, you'd have to put in a train line.
There's only one man that'd be mad enough to turn
Broken Hill into Vegas, and that'd be Clive Palmer. When
need live on board and put the novelty restaurants in.
There'd be a UFC bout at Broken Hill.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Who could do it. Sing will put in some money.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
For it, while you have to put together the Broken
Hill Cup. I'm sure there's horse races there already, but
you'd need some type of ten million dollar race.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Adrian Portelli, he would put in some money for it.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
He would for sure. The Lambeau guy would definitely.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Do it, for sure. McLaren man would do it for.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Sure.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
The McLaren bloke, I don't know what his nickname is
now it's changing every day. Ferrari, I don't know, Ferrari fella,
the Ferrari fella, Tommy.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
You're going to have to put together a list of
people that are going to turn Broken On into Vegas.
Consider that on the agenda for today.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
So okay, he's got beautiful hair, makes your bath and
the cat's amazing. All right, let's talk about the cons.
What's bad about Dave?
Speaker 9 (05:31):
He has a really bad taste in music?
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Okay? How bad does it get?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Like?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Obsessed with?
Speaker 9 (05:37):

Speaker 9 (05:52):
What's always like always wants to like touch my feet?
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Okay? As far as foot fetish.
Speaker 9 (06:02):
Yes, I will yeah, okay.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Can I ask a very personal question? He doesn't suck
a toe? Does he?
Speaker 11 (06:09):
He tried?
Speaker 4 (06:10):
That's interesting, it's gone down that far.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Yeah, okay. Bad taste in music feed obsession?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
What else he got?
Speaker 7 (06:17):
So?
Speaker 8 (06:18):
He has tattoos of all of his ex's name No,
he doesn't, yep. And he said the other day that
he wanted a tattoo of by names, And I'm like,
that's a bad sign.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Have you asked him if he'd get them? Lays it off?
Speaker 9 (06:36):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Where are they?
Speaker 9 (06:39):
I'm like on his like arm?
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Oh my gosh, this is unbelievable. You don't have any
more consor are you still going so oh.
Speaker 9 (06:49):
Well, then I also think that he's a bit narcissistic me,
but then he al did other very narcissistic things as well,
So yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Oh my god, I'm so tall and you had me
at the wine and bath. But now I'm picturing him
trying to suck your ties with tattoos is his X
while listening to Alice Cooper.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
But you can change that, you know what.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Like everyone, I think couples have different music tastes. So
let's let's completely push that one on the side. The
feet one is a little bit weird, but if you
tell him enough, don't suck my toes, you'll stay away
from your feet.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
You can get the tattoos removed.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
And then that that becomes a girl trying to change
a guy, and you don't want Dave to lose the
essence of Dave. I don't know whether you guys are
meant to be together.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
He looks after Tiara. I'm saying, stick with it.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
So are you happy with that result?
Speaker 9 (07:50):
Okay, I'll keep I'll keep singing for a little while longer.
Speaker 4 (07:54):

Speaker 4 (09:40):
I'm just going to write down stallion.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Okay, okay, all right, there we're going to We've got
to get onto the negatives.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
We have to get onto the negatives. Unfortunately, what do
you go for?
Speaker 7 (09:48):
Well, where do you start? The guy blows his nose
on his T shirt and then lays the mare.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
See, I can understand the football. The football is.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Hanky and the bushman's taky where you just where you
blow it out?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
But not under your shirt? Maria, No, he does.
Speaker 7 (10:07):
He's gross. There's there's no he's gross.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Yeah, okay, what else?
Speaker 7 (10:13):
He leaves his socks. He takes his socks and shoes
off and leaves the next to the coffee table. And
then he sits there and scratches his feet.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Lazy, Can I just can I just get back to
him stead of just stuck on the snot on the
T shirt? So will he be sitting on a couch
where he could just get and get a tissue to
blow his nose? Or where is he snotting on his shirt?
Speaker 7 (10:33):
So before he goes to bed, he's got Probably he'll
grab his T shirt from the washing barcestt blow his nose,
puts it back in and then goes to bed.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
So then the snotty T shirts going into the washing
machine with all the other clothes.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
Well, I have to work separately with buff.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Oh no, that's fine. It's going to come clean. It's
not going to come.
Speaker 7 (10:56):
Out it comes out clean. I have to spray any
other consh Well, like I said, he'll sit down and
scratch his feet. It's farning. He's like your fat and
burd at the same time.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
That's quite clever.
Speaker 7 (11:11):
Yeah, he's very clever that way. And he's scared of dog.
What really scared of dog?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Like scared a dog to what point?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
What's been the funniest moment where you've seen a dog marek?
Speaker 7 (11:24):
Yeah, he'll walk across the road if.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
So, do you see that is quite emasculating for him.
That'll be a bit of a turn off. So he's
a generally a bit of a scaredy.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
Cat, like where you going? So he's been bitten by
a dog when he was young, so.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
I get half his head.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Okay, all right, so what have we got to hear?
His kind family?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
First, he's a beautiful man, but blows not on his
T shirt. Fat and booming, scratch his feet, scared of dogs,
but the little idiosyncrasies that you love in relationships.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Basically, besides the scared of dog, he's just a bloke,
which we've established, and he's an absolute weapon in the sack. So, Maria,
I'm going to say that, I'm going to say that's
worth hanging on to.
Speaker 9 (12:10):
Absolutely fits.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Do you want a protest, No, twenty four years. You've
got to go another twenty four years with this man, Maria,
and hopefully he can turn it all around and he
can blow his nose on a dog.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
You never know.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Do you know what I love? I love you too.
I love Maria and Jerry. I want to send you
guys to Otto in Sydney willumblow warfare.
Speaker 12 (12:34):
We don't have a beautiful one on one date night
or some lunch and enjoy yourselves.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
Oh thank you so I've never want anything in my life,
so thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
I think it's not on the tablecloths there.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I love that the city and with a with Kate
Whitchie podcast, let's.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Give an update from the Oval Office. As we know
that Donald Trump is vowed to tell it how it
is when he addresses Congress with that hours Zelenski says
he regrets what happened in the Oval Office. I mean,
it was just horrible the way it was delivered, the
bullying that took place. Trump was ordered to pause on
all military aid to the Ukraine, So obviously Zelenski has
(13:13):
to think of his people first, and about to some
sort of pressure there and said, look, he's grateful. He
is grateful, and that's what they wanted to see. JD.
Vance one of the great puppy dogs Vice President puppy
dog to Trump, he was just the guy who sits
at the back when someone's being bullied, go yeah, you
(13:34):
get him, Yeah, get hi.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Mate, And then when confronted, he'll.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Win the fight by one hundred meters he will.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
I mean, he went skiing the day after that confrontation
that took place in the Oval Office. What wire people
yelling out to him?
Speaker 13 (13:49):
People, Oh, yeah, he was skiing with his family, I
think sugar Bush Mountain or something, and they were yelling
out your Puden's puppy dog as his skiing down and
then I think he actually nearly got cleaned up by
a skier deliberately. It wasn't deliberate, though, the footage is
very fun Avladimir could do.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
You know what's interesting after.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
A big blow up like that, and the first thing
I would think about doing is taking the family skiing
straight to.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Get your lift pass and head out of the door. Ah,
strive to Casiosco. You know what, though, he reminds me
of just He's that kid at school who struggled socially,
was a bit of an intellect and didn't have many mates.
So then grew up and had to try and find
(14:34):
his place in the world where people had to listen
to him, and then he fell into politics. Can we
have a look at his back catalog two of his
great support of Donald Trump. This is a montage of
comments he's made over the years.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
But what do you know?
Speaker 4 (14:47):
You be yourself and support the man that you've always loved.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
I will be a vice president who never forgets where
he came from. I'm a never Trump guy. I never
liked him. I don't know who I'm going to for.
I'm definitely not going to vote for Trump. My current
plan is to vote either third party, or, as I
joke to my wife, I might write in my dog
can't stomach Trump. I think that he's noxious and is
leading the white working class to a very dark place.
(15:13):
There is definitely an element of Donald Trump's support that
has its basis in racism, razinophobia. Trump is a really
bad candidate and frankly, I think a really bad person.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
So it looks very comfy propped up against those cushions.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
You can come around. I mean, it takes a few years,
but you can. You can change you. You know, he's
on someone you got to get. You got to make them,
get to deny them.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
You know what, I mean, what did you got of
a round of golf? We've gotta go skaying with him, Carsey, Elsko,
Tom can we talk about justin today? I mean, he's
the Canadian Prime minister. He came out. I just think
he said it really well because a lot about world
lates came out in support of Zelenski and saying we
support the Ukraine, and I think this was best said
Byester and today we.
Speaker 11 (15:54):
Could see an end to this war tomorrow if Russia
decided to stop it's illegal invasion of Ukraine. On Friday,
in the Oval Office, President Zelenski pointed out that Vladimir
Putin is a liar and a criminal and cannot be
(16:16):
trusted to keep his word in any way sheape or form,
because he has demonstrated time and time again that he
will break any agreements. I stand with Vladimir Zelenski and
I stand with the people of Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Verry Well said very powerful words. So today we see
where the development lies. I mean Zelenski really, as I
was saying, we were talking about this off air. Imagine
trying to negotiate with Trump. Where a good negotiation is
where both parties walk away happy, feeling like there's an
understanding that they both got what they deserved out of
the situation. I don't think anybody could negotiate with Trump
(16:53):
and suggest they walked away getting what they wanted, or
even suggesting that they got part of what they wanted.
He's got Zelenski over a barrel because his role is
to look after his people and defend the country. So
what can you do?
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Did you see one of the senators over there as
well as submitted an idea to replace Benjamin Franklin on
the one hundred dollar note with Donald Trump?
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Couldn't get, couldn't squeeze JD Evans holding him from behind,
almost in a half nelson, or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Do you know what it'd be the ultimate legacy for Trump.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Or if he could get his faith on the one
hundred dollar note in America.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
That's that's he'll be pushing for.
Speaker 3 (17:38):

Speaker 1 (21:11):
This is with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
You listening to the radio at home? Are you listening
to the wires? And you don't own a mobile phone?
Could you call us on your landline?
Speaker 3 (21:22):
You in the car with somebody. It can't borrow somebody
else's far as you know how to use it.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
It would be very confusing. I think if you didn't
own a mobile phone. McK malloy didn't own a mobile
phone for a long time, fits did he?
Speaker 2 (21:35):
He held off.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
He didn't want anyone to contact him unless he wanted
to contact them.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Well, who are the other celebrities? Bill Murray doesn't have
a phone.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
No, Yes, And the only way that you can get
in contact with him is I think he has a
home phone.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
But you've just got a run into him.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Yeah, there was a movie.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
There was a movie that he.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Did that a director chased him for I think it
was three or four years awesome and could just couldn't
get in contact with him and was leaving messages, ran
him to him once Bill showed interest, and then he
just couldn't find you.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
So Bill walked.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Away and said, yeah, mate, I'll do it if you
can catch me. This man has gone on to explain
that he decided to do something drastic because as far
as how much time we spend on our phone, how's
this fits? Five hours and six minutes. That's the average
everybody's doing per day. So that works out to be whopping.
Twenty eight percent of your day is staring at a screen.
(22:36):
So this guy decided that he wanted to give it
up and thought, I will do a memory test before
I give up the phone, and I'll do a memory
test after I give up the phone. Once I've given up.
Should I say, after an eight week period without looking
at a screen, his memory on the memory test went
(22:58):
from fifty percentile to the ninety nine percentile for memory.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
It's that's crazy? Is it's not extraordinary?
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Is that because you're not challenged to remember anything when
you're engaged in something so dismissive.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Well, it's when you and when you retire as well,
aren't you urged to do a lot of brain.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Activity as well.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
That's why I mean, I the only thing that I
do is the sudoku on the plane, and it just
I don't know, for me that makes me feel comfortable.
If I'm doing a cut of sadoka, you're there, but
it's not enough.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Your memory is getting better and better thanks to Sudoku.
That's the thing. It would be hard to know exactly
what's going on. But I suppose if you're doing five hours,
if someone's doing five hours, and I'm not saying it's
all on social media, but if you've got a continuous
scroll on social media, I think it would just become
numbing where you lose track of time. It's like you're
at a casino. You don't know what's going on after
(23:59):
a while. Vicky in the Southern Highlands, Hello, Vic, Hello,
good morning, Vicky. Are you calling us on a landline?
Speaker 1 (24:07):
I'm not, but my mother has a landline and she
also doesn't have an email address.
Speaker 7 (24:12):
So it's very difficult to organize things for her because
they usually want a mobile and they want a email address.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Oh my god, Vicky, Vicky, is she Do you look
at your mother?
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Is she happy? Like?
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Does she live a fulfilling life not having this technology
around it?
Speaker 7 (24:32):
She's ninety four, lives at home by herself, and she's
very happy.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Oh my god.
Speaker 7 (24:39):
I mean it feels nice, doesn't he our mobiles all
the time and thinks can you just look at as
a stop off your mobile?
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Oh my god, my grannie. My granny didn't have a
credit card, and she didn't have a micro life, and
I couldn't understand how she got through the day. But
you're right, Vic, that would be hard if you were
trying to sign up to anything, or if she needed to
be part of something thing. To not have an email
or a mobile phone number becomes almost impossible in the process.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah, so we have to give her our certain things.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
Ah.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
One of the very few positives about doing the reality
show that I did Big Brother, is that you are
in the Gold Coast hinterland for three months without a phone,
no television, so you don't know the The other one,
the big one as well, Whip, is that we have
at our hands. You don't have to pick up a
(25:33):
paper anymore. If there's a news story, you've got it
in your.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Hands straight away.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
How quickly that that can be transported to you is crazy.
But for three months, no news stories, know nothing. And
I got to the point where I was so comfortable
and so happy that if you could do that for
three months and detox every year and disconnect, it would
been unbelievable in people's lives.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
I mean, I think it was great for you. I
mean the last footage I saw if You're in Big Brother,
you were punching an inflatable kangaroo. So you didn't lose
your mind at all.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
I mean, you did not lose my mind at all.
Who will whispering Jeff Buts lyrics into some poor girls?
Speaker 4 (26:12):
Ere you were fine?
Speaker 2 (26:13):
That's I was going crazy in there.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Completely.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
It's it's I could not recommend it.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
And this is why these detox retreats are becoming.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
So popular as well, because people just need to get.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Away and oh god, I need to do one.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
This is the Fitting and Whip with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
This sort of I may earse pricked up.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
All my eyes pricked up when I read this headline yesterday.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
On news dot com dot Au.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
But the headline was billionaire may have just completed life?
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Is that not one of my gravest songs of all time?
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Are you serious? I'm afraid of the dark, especially when
I'm in a park.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Well, are they the worst lyrics in the song? Or
is are these the worst lyrics in the song?
Speaker 7 (27:06):
I Do want to see a ghost said that their
most pople other have abasis tools.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Watch the things so true.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
If I've got the option of seeing a ghost or
having a piece of toast, or just I'm desperate to
rhyme words. What a stinker of a song that is?
I'm sorry, stinker of a song.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
So anyway, the headline was billionaire may.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Have just completed life, and I'm going, oh, my gosh,
is a billionaire ended world hunger?
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Have they found a cure for cancer?
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Are they stopping all the conflicts that are happening around.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
The world at the moment.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
The billionaire is Jeff Bezos, and the barometer for.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Completing life is whip.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
He's he's got a photo at the Oscars after party
with Sydney Sweeney, Sophia Vigara and Jessica Alba, and that
is the barometer for completing life.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Do you know? I tend to agree you can keep
your billions. If you're between those three, you are having
a win.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Because we knew he would be a bright.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
Or hang on a minute, as if he's thinking in
that moment as that photo's been taken. I can't wait
for the lads to see this.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Seriously, you take a photo a next next to three
attractive women, and you've completed life.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
Sydney Sweeney, my Fia Megara, a.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Completing life for you? Oh you are very very simple man.
Speaker 12 (28:37):
You're taking a decade off like you've like. It doesn't
get any better than that. And I thought when Shannon
Knowle seen the national anthem at Backyard Cricket Curabiley House, I.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Thought that was everything. But you know, while Bezos has
outdone me.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Well, if that is the barometer, I mean, those three,
those three women should get together and do a few.
If you do it, day's work where you just complete
mean compla. You just get one photo with those three
you could get paid a lot of money. Do you
want us to complete your life? Get a photo with
us today at Westfield Bundai Junction. Ha good?
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Would that be a corporate package? I bought the Complete
Life package and had my photo taken with three of
the best sets of boobs on the planet.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
This is the Fitting in with with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
I want to talk about music as medicine. We all
know this. I mean what music does to you.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
But when you are stressed out, and we're all stressed
out these days, aren't we, especially with kids today, just
finding time to have a bit of time to yourself
and listen to music, there's a neuroscientist by the name
of Daniel Levitton, and he talks about this.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Have listened to this.
Speaker 14 (29:48):
Stress is toxic for the brain. It releases cortisol and adrenaline,
which are fine and small amounts and for short periods,
but can lead to a weakening of the immune system.
And music is a great way to relax. It puts
you into a different mode of your brain, something we
call the default mode, the mind wandering mode. If you
can allow yourself to just settle into the music, drop
(30:10):
your defenses, and get your mind to wander, that's one
of the best ways to relieve stress and to also
effectively take a short, little break. It hits the reset
button in your brains.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Love that So it's a form of meditation, isn't it.
The other one I want to talk about is sad songs.
Why do we listen to sad songs and why do
they have such an effect on us? This is interesting
because it releases something else, another hormone in your brain.
Speaker 14 (30:36):
When you're sad and you listen to sad music, your
brain releases a neurochemical called prolactin, which is a soothing,
tranquilizing hormone. The same one released between mothers and infants.
During nursing, your brain produces its own opiates, basically the
kind you taking a pill, but they're endogenous, internally generated,
and that's an analgesic. It helps relieve pain and lift
(30:58):
your mood at the same time when you listen to
music you like.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
So that's that's why the sad songs sort of hit
harder with us because it releases prolactin, which is like
a pain relief, which is Isn't that amazing? Because I
always think sometimes why do you feel like you have
to listen to sad music?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
And you're in your car and you really you just
want to hear a sad song.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
And to me, it's like fits the power of having
a good cry. I mean, I can't remember the last
time I cry, but sometimes you need to flush the
tear ducks out and just let it stream down your face.
I mean, why it just play a bit of sad
music or something.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Well, this is that they've got. They've got the top
ten sad songs of all time. Actually, do you know
what one that always gets me? It's a bit cheezy
and I guess do you remember you go for Coldplay?
Speaker 4 (31:51):
Fix you?
Speaker 10 (31:52):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (31:53):
That's a great that is a great sad song. It
is because what was a he that was written about
Gwen's father?
Speaker 4 (31:59):
Yeah, who died?
Speaker 3 (32:02):
No? Does anyone remember Ben Folds five bricks? That's right
for some for some reason, you know, and you have
feelings when you're in the car or something and you're
just like, I just need to listen to sad music.
Speaker 9 (32:24):
Do you want to?
Speaker 4 (32:25):
That was not a lost child or a lost roll?
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Rolling Stone did?
Speaker 3 (32:31):
They asked their readers to the top ten saddest songs
of all time, so I can go through. Now, do
you want to do the top three? I'm getting coming
in and coming and coming in. At number three's Michael
stipeen r E M with this song?
Speaker 4 (32:46):
Oh god, yeah, buddy, Yeah, that's just start to wane
a bit and it fits like it just becomes body painful.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
But does everyone remember the film clip as well, when
everyone's in their car and they're stuck in traffic.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Sometimes they get out and to start walking.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
It's not Eddie Vedder in black, Oh my gosh, when oh,
it's this song with Pearl Jam Black. I mean, let's
that comes in at number two.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
I can't take your voice?
Speaker 3 (33:24):
Sorry?
Speaker 14 (33:24):
Any Vida.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Why can't it be mine?
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Not fads? Oh man, I'm crying because I can't turn
it off right now? Give me sad most overrated band
in the history of time Pearl Jam Oh my.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
Gosh, Okay, I move on to night number one, and
I think we all know?
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Does anyway?
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Everyone knows what? He wrote a song about his son
who died.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
He is an heaven?
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Is it? It's Tears in My Ear and Clampton.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
So if you are stressed out at the moment and
you want to release prolactin today, just jump into your
car and so listen to Tears of Eaven.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
For those that aren't aware, this was written about his
three or four year old son who fell out a
window and died. I think the story goes that the
apartment they were in had been cleaned and they whoever
the cleaner, had opened the window and then shut them
and out locking them. So the child then pressed against
(34:36):
the windows that flew open, and then the sunway lost.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
This was supposed to be really uplifting.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Rights you want to a story, Yeah, that's okay, right, yep, Yes,
you want to bring everyone else down?
Speaker 2 (34:49):
What else happened?
Speaker 4 (34:50):
I haven't got that version of don't think twice by
my ex girlfriend Laura and I do. That was bloody sad.
That was one of the saddest moments in my life.
She broke up with me twenty four. I was after
hearing that, Oh you do have a gesture you very
sad memories of Laura.
Speaker 10 (35:13):
Also one of the most glorious dates to Laura because
it was the final day of the playing ship as well,
so it's also a happy time for her.
