Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Next May eighteen and nineteen at my favorite venue, the
US Store Theater, Will Anderson is doing a show. You
can get tickets through ticket Tech and of course in
the meantime question Everything is on eight thirty each night
on the ABC and Will joins usnow, good morning, Thank.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
You very much for having me.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
Yes, my new show is called Will Legitimate, And I
told someone the other day it's about me learning something
about my dad that I didn't know. And then I
realized when I said those two things out loud, it
makes us sound like my dad had an illegitimate child,
and maybe I'm the illegitimate child, and I need to
say to people, maybe I've overpromised there.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
It's not that big a story.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
The review was sort of writing itself.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Then will you know the club? Now? Will?

Speaker 1 (00:42):
What's coming up on a question everything?

Speaker 4 (00:44):
Tonight?

Speaker 3 (00:45):
We talked about Hall of Notes and the trouble between
Hall of Notes last week, so people can cash out
on ABC IV if they want to know what's really
going on with Hall of Notes. I've got a particularly
theory on it, which is, no one knows which one's
Hall and which one's I don't think even hall or
hall in which ones are I think that is what
the court case is about, to finally decide who gets

(01:05):
to be, who gets to be, who gets to keep
the mustache. I think it's a custody battle. I really
think that's what's going on.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
You expect the fight, but not those two. It's bizarre.
I mean Hall and I think one of them is
called Darryl.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
I'm not sure, but I assume they have to go
to court with the jury of their peers, so famous Daryl's,
Darryl Summers, Darryl Kerrigan from the Castle, you know, all
the big darrels.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
Darryl, Daryl and my other brother Daryl's Great. So then
that's to follow up tonight, yeah to night.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Sorry, Yes, Well, here's what we do on Question Everything.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
We look at the news and the news tropes and
what's been going on in the news, and we try
to follow along and try to explain what's been going
on so everything, I mean, supermarkets are big at the moment.
Obviously cost the living crisis as we all know. Week
mission new story about the cost of living crisis and
what we're going to do for Christmas and prices going
through the roof for Christmas, Like, are you like, what's

(02:07):
your big plans are you? Christmas like shopping, make a
big kind of Christmas meal, big presents for the family.
How do you do you get caught up in this?

Speaker 1 (02:15):
I'm gonna go sponge off my family, the.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
One with the most kids and yeah, you do it,
the one with the most the most food on off.
We'll be right, two professional sponges. I'm here.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
He loves me at Christmas.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
That's about it with Christmas cres.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Yeah, well, I would make fun of you for that,
but I'm going to do exactly the same. I go
down the country the SpongeBob off my family.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Well done. I totally appreciate that.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
I don't really know about the cost of living crisis
to drive down in my parents' place, and I assume
they've got it covered.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
After that, Very well done. What about your former US
Secretary of State who passed away to write old age
Henry Kissinger? Only the good die young? And of course
tough for the news.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
When somebody has not only won the Nobel Peace Prize
but its wildly acknowledges being a war criminal, it's tough
to long you pull off those two, you know what
I mean? Like you know there are war criminals and
there are Nobel Peace Prize winners, but it's rare that
you get that double.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
It's double. You know.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
You can't imagine that some stage Malala is going to
start doing some war crimes like it just doesn't. It's
not on brand via Nobel Prize winners, you know. So
it was very interesting to mourn the death of Henry Kissinger.
Of course ripe old age of one hundred and well,
I guess you know, he made it, but the news
did their best tiptoe around whether he was indeed a
hero or a criminal.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
I wonder if Henry ever felt in his one hundred
years and a few months that conflicted possibly not just
soldiering on Ye.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Well, I mean he certainly never told anybody he was
conflicted about it.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
He kept it to himself really on the hush h yes.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Now the other thing, of course, in jans Plains, Jan
Fran is going to talk about red circles on news images.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
I have wondered, what, right, every morning, every morning you'd
see these little red circles that are on these like
that are pointing to someone's hands, or someone's feet, or
some detail of a photo that you might red circle
the Tower of the red circle. Where did the red
circle come from? It just appeared a few years ago,
and now it's everywhere. You can't go onto a news

(04:33):
site without like it's not only we we can't just
look at the photo anymore and work out out ourselves
that we put red circle around whatever it is, or
sometimes a big red circle around nothing, as Jen will
show in her segment tonight. Sometimes the red circle is
just there and it doesn't really seem to be highlighting something.
And a lot of the times what it seems to
be highlighting are private areas of people. Yes, there's a

(04:54):
lot of where your where your bathroom, you bits might go.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
That's where the red circle news articles.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
It's the idea that putting it on there creates a
sense of urgency, like there's going to be something to
see here.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
I better click on this.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
It's got a red circle and it works.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
I'm exactly the same. I'm not wanting to circle clicking
it will. I think that might be the solution to
the hall and that's problem. They need red circles. Yeah,
that's true, Well that might be the problem. Only one
of them has the red circle. That might be an issue.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
And on that full red circle note we must wish
you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year because
we won't talk to you again before next year, but
we will talk to you next year.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah, brilliant. Thank you so much for the sport constantly.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
I love it and I hope you have a really
nice break and as well, happy happy Christmas.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Pressure of course, So May eighteen and nineteen, Will's at
the ASTA tickets through ticket Tech.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
For Will Legitimate.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
How long you can keep going with the Will associated
it in an endless list pretty much, It's like it's
well he keeps going to show titles ever
