sad way forty five years ago. Today this is an
incredible nineteen eighty February nineteen the forty fifth anniversary of
the passing of the Great Bond Scott of ac DC. Yeah,

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Unreal.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
That's commitment.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Look worth the tribute and worth all the fuss. I mean,
everything that Bond did before he joined ACDC with the
Valentine's of Fraternity led to that amazing time in seventy
four when he joined And you think about those incredible
six and a bit years that he had with the band.
The rest is history, of course, but he was cheeky,
he was clever, he was street wise, and we lost
him forty five years ago February nineteen, nineteen eighty.
Speaker 3 (02:04):

have to do leave.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah, let's sit down the launder of it between gigs. No, No,
we're embarrassed.
Speaker 5 (02:59):

Speaker 3 (03:01):
If you're past that once you're making movies with Amy Shember.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
We'll get to that.
Speaker 2 (03:05):

Speaker 3 (03:08):
So it kicks off in Melbourne and then it ends

Speaker 4 (03:12):
How do you celebrate the end of a tour? Do
you do?
Speaker 6 (03:14):
You?
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Girl gone wild?
Speaker 5 (03:17):
No, because it's one of those things that's like when
you raise your kids. You think you're done when I team,
but it never actually ends because when I'm finished in Australia,
then I take it over to the UK, and then
the next year I'm taking that same tour. So sort
of staggered from three shows that I'm touring different continents,
and so it never it feels like never ending story.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
You just keep rolling. Are you like the footballer who
plays in the Grand Final? Every man in his dog,
every relation wants tickets. Do you have people going I
get a ticket to the show. Everyone wants a freebie.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Yeah, but that's how you know who your good friends are.
The good ones never asked for free tickets. It's the
ones that Naggie's was three tickets. You go, all right,
we're getting a Christmas account from that person.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Yeah, the hangers on come out of the woodwork, or
you don't say is it something you found yourself saying
a lot.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
Yes, especially now that I'm in menopause. I tell you,
when it dawned on me that I should ride this show.
I was in Melbourne and I was late for a
flight because the traffic was terrible, and I ran and
I'm no runner, I'll be I would want to be
up front.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
About stole anything, should you.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Exactly exactly I'm taking me? So I'm running up to
the counter and I get the internus. I run, I'm
talking like fifty meters to the counter and when I
get there, there's a man there with a ponytail and
quite oily hair. But I mean that is irrelevant. He
then to me. He looks at me and goes, jeez,
you're quote sweaty, aren't you? Because then in that running,
(04:44):
in the running, I managed to work up myself into
a full hot flash.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yes, And you know when.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
You're hot flashing so hard when you go am I
having a panic attack? Was a hot flush? Yes? And
when yeah, and when that man said that to me,
I sought, you know, I said to him, you don't
say yeah, you are. I can see it. It's just
running down your face. And I thought, you know, we
can all see stuff on people. I can see the
oily hair and his stand up on his jacket, but
(05:11):
I don't say that.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
So he dug himself a hole and then got the
shovel out again and kept digging.
Speaker 7 (05:17):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I know.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
I was like, oh, you don't say it, and then
he's yeah, I can see clearly, and I was like,
you know what if I was sort of still in perimnipause,
the only thing besides this man's life is that I'm
already in menopause and not in pairry Peary would have
meant I jumped out of that counter and just buy
them to the very.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
In and it's already late.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
This is your lucky day, gray hair.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
That's funny unless drop Unless it did drop the name.
Can you drop some names? Because Netflix film, let's.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Talk about your.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
With Amy Sugar.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
What's going on?
Speaker 5 (05:55):
I know, I know, I couldn't believe it. I got
a d M from her in the middle of the night.
Sounds like a romantic movie actually, and she slid into
my dings and she's like, Hi, do you want to
come and make this movie? Is Adam Sander production. I'm like, sin,
no more, I'm not here to fly hard to get
I'm coming. And then I immediately said yes. And then
(06:15):
I read the script and my character is me. I'm like, oh,
this is not going to be any acting boss.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
So it was amazing.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yeah, so do they give you a winter Bago and
all that so you can stomp off.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
To your trailer til Twilight. But we all got got
on so well. And also the Caulturing was advising on set.
I was just out at the Caulturing truck the whole time,
teaching all those Americas, helping my flat white and you
know what a proper sandwich looks like. And it was
amazing to make me a pie. But he couldn't get
(06:50):
it hidden.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Really, you're working in network Netflix film and you're there
at the trainer where he would be.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Well, I was going to ask you where you were
when you got the call that you got the part,
because I love to know the story about you know,
where a person was. But obviously that was not the
way this played out, because she just chased you from
the get go.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
Yeah, yeah, she was. She slid into my dear but
it was kind of funny. So I got the text
three o'clock in the morning, and I went to the
loo and you know, and when I got back in bed,
I just had this voice in my head. Side check
is fine, And I never checked my phone in the night. Yeah,
And then but it wouldn't stop, like the voice just
kept going. And eventually the voice and I had a
big argument. Yeah, and I was like, okay, fine, old
(07:32):
check it because I'm awake now, side check. And then
I saw the message from her, and she goes give
me a call, and then my managers Australian. She lives
in Byron, and then I thought should I wait for
her to wake up or should I just call? And
then I thought, no, where the's time difference, I'm just
gonna call Amy. So I called her and then she
sends me the script and I was like, oh, okay,
So I'm reading it and then my son, who's he
(07:55):
gets into bed with me at like four thirty, so
I stopped reading and I just go to sleep.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
You know.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
I saw I had to function the next morning, so
get up and I might, you know, breakfast. And then
Amy calls me at seven o'clock and she goes, what
did you think of the script? I'm like, I can't
talk to you now. I've got to do school run
and everything. And she goes to go, how long do
you need for school run? I go hour and a half.
It's like I go fine, And then an hour and
a half later she calls me to get.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
You go to have it now.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
And then so it was really and then I got
onto a zoom with her and the directors Pilot Bendel,
and I was just in, you know, like track suit
and T shirt, my hairst wild and and she was
sitting in bed and we just SD the whole read
through and I got the part that's.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Fantastics actually does a character, but you does it have
voices in its head on a regular basis?
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Oh yeah, I mean I was amazed to find out
that there are some people who have no inner monologue.
I'm like, how boyet must be in your head.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
H yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Well, congratulations on that, and we look forward to you

so lovely to chat with you, and I do feel
your hot flush pain, believe me, just till you're in it,
(09:15):

Speaker 5 (09:18):
And also just as a public warning, you don't know
who around you is going through a hot slash.

Speaker 4 (09:38):
Blobes Bye bye.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
More crazy more podcasts soon.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
At least.
Speaker 8 (09:47):
So.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
The other day I went to get a coffee and
there's been a lot of chatter about the coffee coffee
prices for buying a coffee at the cafe, and the
chatter has been, all of a sudden, we'll be pushing
seven dollars, and I went, oh, really, like, you know,
there's a couple of places I play in low sixes
with almond milk in my Yeah. The other day I
paid six dollars eighty seven for a coffee and it
(10:08):
finally hit.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Six dollars eighty seven.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Six eighty seven. Yeah, there's probably a few cents of
that was feed seven. Yeah, eighty seven. That was weird.
I think that was that fee that gets slapt on
if you use you if you swipe your card or
tap your phone or whatever. Six eighty seven. I went, oh,
that sounds seven, but what.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Says on the board six dollars eighty seven?
Speaker 4 (10:25):
No, I did you know that was six dollars eighty seven.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I saw it on my credit card statement. Yeah, I
went cafe six eighty seven. The one before that was
six twenty seven. I went, oh, there's a fifty cent increase. Yeah,
the board. Actually, they don't really do that with the
board thing anymore. They sort of quite often cafes will
hide it.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Well, I've never seen anyone say eighty seven cents.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah. And there was a cafe the other day when
into actually was gesher in Frio. I was in and
they had a like a sorry sign up for the
because they had a coffee increased. But they put up
a little chalkboard and said, sorry, this is out of
it control.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
No I'm not buying you. Sorry. Yeah, it's not out
of your control. It's in your control.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
And I went, oh, no other people, But I'm going
is that a tipping point? It won't oh won't stop
buying a coffee out, but I won't buy six or
seven or five or whatever I'm having a week at
the moment, and some people buy multiple coffees a day,
it becomes a really expensive exercise.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
I have a very good coffee machine at home, yes,
and I know that I can make myself a nice
hot cappuccino with the milk frothed just right. Because my
problem with buying coffees out and about here is they.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Are hit and miss, inconsistent.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Oh, I don't mind paying a stupid amount if it's
going to be a really good cup of coffee. But
if I'm going to get it and it's either watery,
it's cold, it's horrible tasting coffee, or both or all
the above, then I'm going to be really cross.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
So that's what I'm doing now.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
How much you didn't miss going.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
To places where I know the coffee is good, or bars,
or you know that it's going to be consistently good
or and probably a couple less a week or whatever
it might be. But yeah, some people have a tipping point.
And for many years, you know, it was either beer
or smokes. There were the things that the government's love
to tax went up consistently. They continue to do.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
So it is nice to go and have a coffee somewhere.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yeah, of course I do have a coffee. Someone make
it for that and catch up. We got to be good. Yeah,
it's got to be good. But it's not the only
thing that's going up in price.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
From the You've got to be joking far.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
I've seen a bit of chatter about the cost of
Easter eggs that are on the shell. No, yeah, and
I mean for starters. It's not even it's February, yeah, Easter.
Last time I checked it in April. I don't believe
in them being on the shelf since. But that's about
stores that wcoring. I know they did come out on
Boxing Day, but yeah, ridiculous and mounds for one hundred
grands of chocolate just because it's shaped like a bunny. Yes,
(12:36):
suddenly it's eighteen dollars.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Yeah, that was something ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Why they're saying, oh, you know, when it's a hollow
Easter egg or whatever, it's different kind of transport required
so they don't break and all that. But that's always
been the case.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
A three hundred and fifty gram egg for twenty bucks.
Probably there's someone carrying it individually.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Think it's probably the price of cocoa coming from West Africa.
That's probably more the point.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
But yeah, I think it's just them having a lend
of us because it's an Easter egg.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
You think they're bumping it up.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Stephen in Sterling.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Said that he just paid sixty five dollars per kilo
for Scotch Phillip And.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
I mean, I know it's a nice cut, you know.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
He thought twenty five dollars per kilo was high, but
sixty five dollars.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yeah, that's pretty stickd isn't it. And the prices continue
to go up. To go to Hami Hill, get a
Joe Welcome.
Speaker 6 (13:21):
Hi guys, here you going.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
What's the one that's got your attention?
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Did you just about fall over? Johan?
Speaker 6 (13:27):
Well, I had to get a pair of shoes heeled, Lisa,
because I'm going to see Jesus Christ super start today
from mid day?
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Do you love it?
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Done? Anyway? So I had to get the shoes healed
twenty five dollars.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Lord, really, I.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
Hadn't the last time I had them done. They're about
five bucks by two fifty each, those tiny little black
bits that call on the end of the year.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Exactly twenty five dollars. Yes, I all fell over without heels.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Yeah, yeah, dodgy. So that's not a cobbler.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
That's a gobbler. It is a gobbler.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Twenty five yes, yeah, but you still.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Got spend less shoes.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
I could have brought a pier.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
True, yeah exactly. But once you know, sometimes once you've
said yeah, okay, do it, you don't necessarily know how much.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
It's like you're just not expecting twenty five bucks or
two little black woms.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
You're getting you, Yeah, you're getting those done. You're not
getting a quote.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
I hope you love Jesus Christ hipster.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
I'm so excited.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I'm really looking forward to it. Hey, Joe, have a
great day. Bye bye, you go all right, love to
hear from you today. What's your tipping point on prices?
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Well, this has come up a bit with our producers.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
I noticed we were when we were talking and that
in Langford says, my biggest bug bar at the moment
is the price of olive oil. It's gone from thirty
eight dollars for a three liter can to sixty five.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Okay, that's and olive oil.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
It's an essent. It's a pantry essential.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Absolutely, you're out every day and even then that's affecting
restaurants as well.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
One that's had a couple of mentions is locally grown garlic. Okay,
apparently the cost of local garlic versus you know, what
you're importing from Mexico or whatever. Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous crazy percila. Yeah,
and Toby on the text pointed out how we were
talking about Easter eggs. He said, they do deliberately put
(15:20):
the prices of something like Easter eggs too high so
that when it comes around they can put it quote
unquote on sale.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
True.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Anybody did anyone had the one hundred dollars one hundred
and twenty dollars lint bunny last year?
Speaker 7 (15:34):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Look, I don't know if anyone client chocolate like Monty
python style bunny.

because your head massive thing. It's like a limp bunny.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
And Andrew.

off your feet?
Speaker 9 (15:54):
Like I said, I'm not going to name name, and
I thought, you know, I feel like a burger yet
five dollars.
Speaker 8 (16:02):
Thirty five dollars and chippy. Yeah, I hope they were
those thrice cooked duck fat chips.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
For thirty five dollars. Oh, yeah, they are nice. Thank you, Andrew.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Thanks Mane stopped Andrew in his tracks. He went to
get his burger, Jamie in York.
Speaker 4 (16:29):

Speaker 2 (16:31):

Speaker 7 (16:32):
Mechanics so parts truck parts, car right, Yeah, it's horrendous
and it's some of the mark up on the way. Yeah,
I won't I won't name names. By a genuine, genuine
part for fourteen hundred dollars and you think, oh, don't
worry about it. I'll ring after the market. And it
turned up and it was a genuine part for five hundred.
Speaker 2 (16:56):

Are you restoring an MG or something?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
The story something beautiful martin a fleet of Oh was

Speaker 2 (17:45):
Well, good luck with hunting for those parts, Jamie. Thanks. Yeah,

that discrepancy between.

Speaker 4 (19:50):

Speaker 1 (19:53):
More podcast soon.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
The state election is only weeks away March the eighth.
Libby Madam is the state Liberal leader. Libby is with
us this morning.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Hello, Hey Lebby, Welcome.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
Hi. How are you Lisa and Clausey.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
We've never met before, Libby, No, we haven't. Don't haven't
tell us quickly about Libby Mattham.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
Well born and raised in regional Way. I'm married, with
a couple of kids and even a grandchild, Remy, who's
now about eight months old.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
I do love but he named Remy.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
It's so cute.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
Yes, a little while to get my head around it,
because I haven't heard it much before. Now I hear
it all the time. But I've been a member of
Parliament for about ten years and yeah, very passionate about
Western Australia a place of opportunity.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Libby, it was a few years ago now, but you're
a whopper grad right, So did that help?
Speaker 9 (20:53):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
That help with your personal public appearances and the ad
sitting on the milk rate.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Well, I'm not sure about that, but what it does
give you, as you guys would both understand. Through broadcasting,
you're talking to people across the board all the time
and you get a real sense of what makes people tick.
You also love people, and yeah, you're really interested in
(21:21):
the issues that matter. It's not that different politics and
that's what's kept me or driven in this job.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Do you think the Liberal Party can win this election?
Speaker 6 (21:30):
Libin absolutely we can. Labour thinks this election is in
the bag. I think it's a dumb deal. But Western
Australians know we can't afford another four years of the
same failures. If Labor wins, nothing changes, and we've got
a broken health system, we've got a cost of living crisis,
we've got crime out of control across the state, and
(21:53):
we've got a housing crisis as well. And social housing
is one example is with the numbers of so houses
has actually gone backwards since twenty seventeen. So this has
been a government with so much power that had the
numbers in the House as well to deliver whatever they wanted,
and they haven't delivered. For Western Austrais we've gone backwards
(22:15):
since I've been in power.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Actually you mentioned that, I'm thinking it's in the bag.
We were a couple of weeks out from this Saturday,
and it was about this stage in twenty twenty one
that the former Liberal letters at Kirk have pretty much
put up the white flag. But that's not your style, right, well,
it certainly isn't.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
But also we've got a real opportunity here and this
government has been gifted the biggest boom our state has seen,
not through their great financial management, but through a GST
fix and an iron ore boom. And more than ever before,
Western Austrains are struggling. WA's less affordable, how hospitals are
(22:52):
in crissis, crime is rising, and labor are failing to
deliver on the basics. And while a racetrack along at
the Urswood might be enough to have, I know young
people in particular are seeing home ownership out of reach
and there are a number of issues across the state
which we are focused on fixing.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
As far as your key policies go, what do you
think in terms of a chicken or the egg situation,
cost of living and housing, which is which area to
think needs tackling the most to make the other thing
a bit easier.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
Well, they are interrelated, but we know this government's focus
on government spending and on one project and one project
only Bang metronapp it's blown out from three billion to
over thirteen billion. Highest rate of spending in Wa in
fifteen years outside of COVID has seen Wa I have
(23:51):
the highest rate of inflation in the nation. That means
the cost of everything you know, eggs and bread and
everything at the supermarket is much more because this government
have not been focused on delivering the basics housing as well,
and housing impacts every portfolio. It impacts our ability to
(24:14):
get the workers we want, particularly in the regions, but
in Metro as well, and that's why we're committed and
we have a much more generous than Labour's announcement yesterday
stamp duty release the first home buyers. We're also committing
six hundred million dollars to Headworks which will deliver over
(24:35):
one hundred thousand affordable homes for Western Australians.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
It'd be probably fair to say that March eighties so
well one of the most important days of your life,
definitely your political career. Can you describe how you're feeling.
Is it nervous, is it excited? Is a combination?
Speaker 6 (24:50):
Well, I'd say it's determined and it is about giving
Western Australians an opportunity to see the back of a
government that have not been focus just on them and
what we have seen and we've seen their election commitments
so far, there's been a lot of shiny Master have
a seven billion dollar port that we don't need now
(25:11):
the racetrack on the Swan, the giveaways, the free rule
tickets to the show and pursue Western The strains are
struggling more than ever before. That's why we're investing and
focusing on building health infrastructure, investing in our health workforce
as well. Announced our commitment for eight hundred officers three
(25:37):
hundred on the beat from day one in terms of
ste and also real targeted relief cutting payroll tax, stamp
duty and stamp duty the same as that one of
downsids as well. We're focused on the basics. No bread
and circuses from the Liberal parties, but it's about delivering
for people.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
I have to say, I guess it is a thing
that is unusual for this election for your party. The
Basil sort of factor and where he stands. Is that
something that you're able to just get on with a
sideh because the whole Basil's amplus thing has been a
(26:18):
bit confusing as to when he signs.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
Is very high profile. Yes, and he's a key part
of our team. Yeah, I trust you know, he is
a key part of our team. I trust Basil along
with all of our candidates and you know they will
be outstanding members of Parliament and what we've seen with
(26:44):
Labor is an extraordinary focus on him. They're obviously threatened
by him. He's got a higher profile, but I think
that will only be an asset for us certainly going forward.
And he's certainly been successful in tearing some strips off
off Roger Cook, John Kerry and radio as well.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Okay, well we're don at the business end of it,
sure weeks and we wish you a good campaign, Libby.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
It's got to be.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
It's a tough job, absolutely, you know who, whatever your
party is, whatever you're thinking is, it's a tough job and.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
I hope you make it through. I'm scathed. Good luck with.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Thank you, thank you, thanks for having me on.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
There's sure report on ninety six.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Every another feature film is going into production in w WA.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
Whale Shark Jack, story about.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
A family of three living the dream on a yacht
researching whale sharks, is set on and around Ningoloo Reef.
It stars Abby Cornish, who most recently has been in
Tom Clancy's Jack, Ryan and Virtuoso with Anthony Hopkins. She
was in that Three Billboards outside of Ebbing, Missouri. She's
been in some great stuff and Michael Dorman, who was
just in Netflix's territory with Adator. The film, which is
(28:07):
being made by Stan also features Rachel Wart, so there's
some pedigree there.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
And like you said, the reef itself another stuff.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
And the reef itself.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Cynthia Arrivo is set to play the role of Jesus
in an upcoming production of Jesus Christ Superstar at the
Hollywood Bowl. Cynthia's currently nominated for an Oscar for her
lead performance in Wicked. I think that's some pretty inspired casting.
She'll be fantastic. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have been
the victim of a burglary. Apparently there's been quite a
spate of high profile burglaries across La well. Their la
(28:38):
home was broken into this past weekend. They weren't home
at the time, and apparently their staff ended up scaring
the intruder off.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Give Marie a cleaner to go and look.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
I have some sad news to share this morning. Rick Buckler,
the drummer for the Jam, has died. Paul Weller leads
the tributes to Rick. He's posted a message that reads,
I'm shocked and saddened by Rick passing. I'm thinking back
to us all rehearsing in my bedroom in Stanley Road,
Woking to all the pubs and clubs we play at
as kids, to eventually making a record.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
What a journey, Clazy and Lisa
