Speaker 1 (00:04):
Staver Scateruver.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
On the cutting room floor today. Handbags.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
You love handbag, You know, I love an accessory, not
an accessory to a life of crime murder that No,
not that. But this is interesting, they say. A company
says that it's designed some leather that has been synthesized
from the DNA of the Tyrannosaurus rex. So sixty six
(00:41):
million years ago, the t rex roam the earth. They're
saying that they've been able to get some fossilized t
rex remains and they have lab grown some leather and
turn it into what looks like a crocodile handbag. It
looks nice, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
It looks like a whole Tyrannosaurus rat.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
No, that's the picture of the you're looking at the
picture of the dinosaur. Behind its just a bag in
the front.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
The skin has blended in.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yeah. So what they're saying here is this lab grown.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
It's like when the rolling stones stand together.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
I'd make a handbag of that. The lab grown fossilized
t rex collagen, they say, will be used as a
blueprint to manufacture a material that's structurally identical to traditional leather.
He'll be by a degradable innovative and ethically sound. However,
ethically sound, no dinosaurs were killed for this as one
dinosaur expert has said that the claim of making t
(01:33):
rex leather is misleading because they say there is no
preserved t rex DNA, because there are no t rex
gene DNA. They say starts to decay as soon as
the animal dies, though some fragments might remain in the
environment casual for a few million years, but the oldest
preserved DNA on record is about two million years old.
(01:55):
The t rex went extinct sixty six million years go,
so if this was going to happen, this would be
the first ever sample of a leather source from an
extinct species. But when they can't, you get DNA from
things like I've got a piece of resin that I
bought in Dubai that has a tiny little mosquito in amber.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
That is prehistoric, and I could extract DNA from that.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Surely it's like old mate from Jurassic Park and it
was in his walking stick in his cane.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
But that's not real. If you've got a creature embedded
in resin in amber in amber, that's what I meant.
I didn't make did I say resin, I say amber.
If you've got something embedded in amber, yep, surely that
would still hold its DNA.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yeah, well that's what But wei Jurassic Park.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
But we don't have dinosaurs. Imagine how big the necklaces
I'd have to have of amber with a dinosaur inside.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Because when you're talking about dinosaur genes like Tyrannosaurus genes,
you would imagine they wear a gene that would cover a.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Tail and everything like that.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
A pair of jeans because they walk on the two Yeah,
they wear a mean pair.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Would they wear the jeans from the waist back?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yea, all four legs.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
In a pair of jeans and a belt that goes
around their middle long ways. This is like that debate.
If a dolphin was to play a flute, does it
play it from its mouth or from its blowhole?
Speaker 2 (03:26):
It looks strange holding there.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
If a giraffe we wear is a necktie, is it
top of the neck top bottom?
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Not?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Well, other people saying bottle the neck because you don't
wear it at the top of your neck. You're at
the base of your neck where it joins your.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Body midway neck. Every giraffe is going to wear a
neck tie. It's going for an interview at the zoo.
Mister g Raff will see you now. But I like
the idea of a taradosaurus carrying a handbag has.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Got I think it could do it because it looks
like it's got little hands carrying a hand back.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Because if it's chasing you down, you're in a Jurassic
Park world and there's and you look at her, look
at you with your your little handbag.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Well that's why, as they say, you know, they can't smoke,
because you can't get a smoke up to your hand
from his little Jurassic arms, which should be the name
of the world's smallest pub, the Jurassic Arms.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I see what you did, Thank you. It's and a
man is getting.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
What's on the categorom floor today. I can tell you piercings.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Do you still have holes in your ears? Not your
earring hole, not your ear holes, your earring holes?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah? Probably, yeah, you can see them.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
See how many you have in that one?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
I had three and two or two and three?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
And when did you stop using them?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I had to appear in fat Pizza.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
And you thought I'd better look fair now I wasn't fat.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Actually I played in fat Pizza.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
I played the journalist that in invertently starts the Cronulla Riots,
and Paul Fennix said, well, you know, journalists largely don't
have piercings.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
That was back in the good old days. Now, you know,
you have devil horns on your forehead and you're doing
the nightly news.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
So I took them out for that, and then my
role morphed into the CEO of playing the role of
Jonathan on Swift and Shift.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
You played my boss. Your boss was laughable at well.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
You were Amanda Doyle. And once again I took the
earrings out. So I was forty when I took them out,
and I never put them back.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
In, And why didn't you choose to put them back.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Here just became too much of a hassle to go
and film the show, and then I have to put
them back in again, and then I lost one and
I lost another one. And then one day I saw
myself without them and I went, you know what, you know,
I could probably do it again. Put it back in again.
Instart being Adoe with an earring like Barnsey. He's got one, yeah,
but he's he's Barnsey. And then I see Harrison Ford
(05:49):
with his little diamond start earing. Remember you got upset
with cac He was on Cherry and Kennelly's show.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
And she said, what's with the earring?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
And well, he's grumpy at best of times, so that
made him more grumpy.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
You might as well said you can't fly a plane.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Well, had a few incidents with that as well.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I really had one plane crash, and there's.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Been two, hasn't has I got my ears piece? When
I was younger, I always wanted to get my ears pierced,
I think, and and Dad said he was of the
ear that said, whyn't you get a bone through your nose?
Certain times? So I did.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
My dad, mate, when you're eighteen, you can get a
bone through your notes.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Why when I left home went to university, I was
I left home at seventeen to go to UNI, and
I did get my ears pierced. And then because I
wore earring, wore headphones for so long they kind of
closed over. And when I was with Beyond two thousand
on television in the eighties, I wore ping pong balls
as ear rings. I wore big seed pods as earrings.
I had massive, massive earrings and then when it going
(06:44):
to radio, the holes kind of cleared over and closed over.
So I got them redone probably ten years ago. Every time,
every time I'd be filming anywhere, the stylist would say,
we'll put these, I said, well, and they could not
believe it.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Till you have to price line pharmacy and I said,
there you go. I'm just dropping the Latin of the
girl off.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
It was really painful second time round, was it? Yeah,
it was really painful. But the reason I'm asking about
your piercings. Here's the latest trend I've seen is for
people who, as they say, might have trouble keeping their
glasses from slipping down their noses. It's a bridge piercing.
It's a piercing across the bridge of your nose that
(07:24):
you attach your glasses to so your glasses don't fall off.
So you have a piercing on one side of your
nose and on the other and your glasses click into them.
And an expert here has said this latest body modification
is used to replace traditional glass frames. Though unique, it
raises concerns about healing, comfort and in the long term,
(07:46):
the effects of metal constantly bearing weight on the face.
There is there and then looking at this I just
kind of found a whole lot of images. Have you
heard about rhino piercing.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
No, that would be the schnozzer.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
What imagines to rhin O'Neill. No, rhino piercing. It's a piercing,
a stud that goes right through the tip of the nose.
Have a look at Exhibit aut Okay, a vertical piercing
plays through the tip of the nose. It's currently standing
out to those seeking to deviate from more conventional piercing
options like nostril a septum. Imagine those being so old
(08:17):
that you now have to think, how embarrassing Grandma's got
one of those. I'll put this in. It gets worse.
There's a piercing that goes between your front teeth, but
not between the teeth, that goes into the gum. Gum piercing,
A gum piercing. And what's a labrette? Is that the
hole the big hole that's this one here?
Speaker 4 (08:37):
No?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Is that the elaborate that stretches your skin?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yeah? Oh yeah, right, so you get expanded, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
I think.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
But this girl has a piercing under her nose like
a stud, and then she has a big circle. You
see this, but it's under the lip and through that,
right through you see her teeth and gums when her
mouth is closed. And look at the ones underneath that
a cheek piercing. That's the size of a coffee cup,
I reckon and through it you can see teeth, gums,
(09:08):
and tongue. It makes me feel sick. And there's someone
who has two tattoo studs in an arm pit? What's
that for? Is that stimulating? Is it just to look
different befefits in your armpit? Who cares? And that might
be a man, you know, might be a man.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
I remember I was outraged when Toby from Human Nature
got a eyebrow piercing.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
What the hell?
Speaker 3 (09:35):
That's the It might as well be the four horsemen
of the apocalypse. Toby from Human Nature has got an
eyebrow piercing.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
We're all going to hell and the hand.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
And now probably the head of the Commonwealth Bank and
the Governor General have eyebrows.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Prince Albert, hey, hey, everybody, hears some more Jelsey in
a man's curtain room for hey. Hey, Hey, get ready, everybody,
here's some more josy and a man's curtain room for hey.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Hey, hey, are you ready for on the cutting room floor,
Let's talk about Prince Louis.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Oh, isn't he cute? He is the stirr of the
royal children. And we've seen evidence of this and flybys
and all. Is that what we call them? When the
planes go overhead and they're standing on the balcony and
he gets bored and he puts his hands over his
ears and he gooms and he fucks around his mode
and his mother says, stop it now. Well, the ve
(10:33):
Day commemorations were on last week, and there's a hilarious moment.
This is so my son's, it's so you and your brother,
it's everything. Prince George, who's now eleven, he's getting to
the stage where he's probably a bit more conscious of
his appearance. Is bowl hair cut and all of that anymore.
There he just flicks his fingers through his hair, and
(10:56):
seven year old Louis, wh's sitting next to him with
a complete straight face, just mocks him, does exactly the
same action, but look straight ahead as if he hasn't
seen him do it, and you can see George looking
at him, going, oh, you're right, And then Louis just
read casually pretends he's just fixing his hair for himself.
It's the full raz and the whole world is watching it.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
William and Harry were pretty much like this as too,
this too?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Do you remember that? Well, that's right, they were like this. Yes.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Well, they'd mock each other and Princess Diana would say,
stop at you two usually the youngest son, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Have you seen that insta post recently of Princess Diana
chiding Harry.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
His tongue out and do all that kind of shing.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Yes. So do you think the future for these two boys,
George and Louis will it.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Be the same.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
No, they're just kids.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Because William and Harry aren't talking to each other.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
That really makes me sad. Women my age really feel
it because we were there when Charles and Diana married.
We bought into the dream. We saw those boys be born,
and I remember thinking what will become of them? And
it was at William's wedding and again at Harry's wedding.
There they were standing up for each other when their
(12:07):
mum wasn't there, and thought, what a beautiful relationship they have.
And it's been heartbreaking fall.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
I often wonder if Harry wasn't a royal and William
wasn't a royal, and.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I would say, like just movie stars.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Say Prince Charles and Princess Diana were movie stars Robert Redford.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
And what films do you think Charles would be Dumbo.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Now?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
But imagine the old movie stars.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
I believe we'd have more sympathy for Harry if his
mother had died in strange circumstances in a car and
then was made to parade behind the funeral cortege, we'd
probably have a lot more sympathy for him. But because
he turned his back on the royal family, everyone's.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Blowing up thes about it. And they old say, if
it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger, or it
will drive a wedge. That wedge is.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
But be very few people in the world who would
understand what it's like to be in the positioning in
And that's why it's sad that he can't be there
for William, who is in the weirdest position of all. Indeed,
that is a very unique situation that.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
William takes over everything in the Queen Judy, no, not
Judy Juty.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Who's Judy a large woman got.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Right, yet I'm taking over everything.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Judy takes over everything.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
And in terms of brothers kind of mocking each other
in feudy, you know, my son's constantly. Actually, we're coming
up to their birthday week. Both boys have a birthday
in May, and when they were younger, they had a
choice of going out to dinner what they'd like to
do on the night of their birthday. Jack's birthdays first,
so he always I want to go to the restaurant
down the road, and we get this and this and this,
(13:42):
and then when it came to Liam's, Liam said, you
know what, because Jack was saying, why don't you pick this?
Why don't you pick this? Liam said, I think we'll
just stay at home and have a tunic casserole. We've
never in our lives had a tunic castrole. Neither of
them wanted a tunic casserole, but Liam did it so
that Jack wouldn't have something nice for dinner.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yeah, I've seen your boy classic and.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Jack's you know, when they were younger asking for birthday presents,
Jack oh on this and this this, and Liam, to
make Jack look greedy, said you know what, I don't
need anything.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
I'll have just a piece of stream and a pair
of thongs and that's all.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
That's all I need.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
They laugh about that now, but that's how they were.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
I remember when Jack was into surfing and he said,
oh yeah, I was down a cougie and a surface.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
He was told the guy in the shop that he
was surfing some barrels, but there's never been. He would
just flop around in the phone.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
And Liam just went good on you. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
My brother and I when we were young, my brother
used to I don't know if he liked it or not,
but he liked wearing the same outfit as I did.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Because we're similar ages.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
People mistook us for twins, so my mother would buy
matching outfits. So whenever we go out for a family fee,
he something and they'd wear exactly the same thing. And
they go and Dad would, you know, push us into
the cargome.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Come on, I've got no time for this. We're just going.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
So what I would do is I wait till the
last minute to go, So we'd be just standing in
our underpants, both are standing our underpants.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
So Matt would wait until you.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Dressed, and dadoud say, come on, we we've got to go.
And man had say well, Brendan's not dressed yet, And
I said, well, he's not dressed, and he goes, just
get dressed both of you, and I said no. Then
one day he said, right in track, just both that
into the street in our underpants, which I'll be happy
to say weren't matching.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Was it your wedding day?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
It was.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Our wedding day?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Brother, was our wedding you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (15:44):
And what about the time when you completely raised him
when your mom bought him a jacket, the leather jacket.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
You put it from America and on the sleeves that
said troop in big letters is a bomber jacket.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
And your mother knew you well enough to say, don't
on the machiners jacket had a big star explosion that
said Troop.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
And I saw the jacket before that she gave it
to him.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
I said that to Mum, and he said, she said,
do not say anything to your brother when he give
it to him for his birthday.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Okay, his birthday. Care.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
He opens the jacket, puts it on, likes it o.
You know, he was looking and you look at your.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Brother for confirmation that it's okay.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
He walked down the stairs and he has what do
you reckon? I went as, when's the rest of the troop?
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Kid?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
And would your mother say, I'm not wearing that jacket.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
No, No, brothers, hey.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Brothers on the cutting room floor. What we got there today, Governor?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Haven't we all enjoyed seeing the return of Vivian. Vivian
was a little miniature dash hound who went missing on
Kangaroo on.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Yep yep for like eighteen months.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Eighteen months.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Yeah, their owners took it along to Kangaroo Island for a.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Holiday camping weekend.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
And it's not the sort of dog you take into
the wild.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
You see those dudes, the driver and the ford raptors,
and they got pig dogs on the back of their
forward raptors in those metal boxes, and they're slavering away
at the cage, not the driver of the card or
so sometimes you can't tell them a part.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
And then they let the pig dog and they gat
pig and shit and pigs.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
No, you don't take a little duck sound along for
what they did.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
They went camping. They took their little dog along because
he's a member of the family and he was within
a little cage. Darien had his toys, or they went fishing,
they came back. He wasn't there missing for eighteen months,
and they saw footage of him on various cameras, various
security cameras, I guess surveillance cameras around the island, so
they knew he was still alive. They finally captured him
(17:51):
and brought him home. Lots of great vision of the reunions,
and he looks like he's very, very happy to be home.
Because I was wondering if he'd come home and like
a Stephen King novel, a Cujo, he'd have gone feral
and more of their faces off.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Yeah, because Cujo was a Saint Bernard, and you wouldn't
have expected him to be savage.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Saint Bernard's largely or a rescue.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Dog, especially when they're bring you the Brandy, when.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
They bring the little little bowel of Brandy.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Remember Pet Symmetry. That book scared the hell out of me.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Was there a Saint Bernard in that as well?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
No, it was, it was yeah, and the little kid, Yeah,
spoiled kid.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Well, if you haven't seen a movie from nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
We can't help you with that. But that was terrifying.
But onto other things. Yes, I like the idea of
a lad Vivian's alive and well.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
A dash hand because they're the cutest little dog. They
look like they always look like they're wearing a waistcoat.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Are they doing? Their little velvety arms.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Little faces.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
It's so sweet.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
They're plagued with veterinary problems, though, aren't they?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Well are they?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Yeah? Yeah, because they're not meant to be that like that?
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Yes, well maybe not the miniatures, but they were bred.
Every dog has a purpose. Every dog originally had a job.
You didn't breed them just to be fun. Even the
dogs like a like a a king Charles Cavalier had
a job. The lap dogs, that was their job. That's
why they are bred with flat noses and big eyes,
because they can sit on your lap and look up
into your face, like my dog is a border collie.
(19:14):
We all know what those jobs are, us chasing around sheep.
But any of those dogs with slightly longer noses, if
you talk to them and say, do you want to
go for a walk, whatever, they'll move their head from
side to side because they can't see around this. They
can't see enough of your facial expressions around their long snouts.
So every dog has a job, so I'm not sure
(19:35):
what Valeries is so cute.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
I had a dog run so it was just a
ninety K like por machine, and its job.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Was to be a perpose I did.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Let's talk about cats, though I'm not a cat person.
You've had a number of cats over the town, and
you've spoken to me about how sometimes your cat was
being fed down the road.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Yeah, rufus our cat that we had. And I don't
want pets. I don't want cats. I don't want dogs.
I just don't have any time for them. And it's
not fair. It doesn't mean I don't like them. I
like cats and I like dogs, but I just don't
have the wherewithal to feed them, to do all the
junk that goes with them. I'm very disconnected from them.
You need a dog in your life, I don't. But
(20:15):
having said that, I don't hate dogs or cats.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
What happened. We inherited two cats.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
My wife and my kids inherited them too.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Families are like that as well.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
I want to be like reach Up, just going from
town to town, punching people out and rooting women.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
That's all I want to be.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
But someone was feeding your cat.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Yeah, yeah, so with a French chap and he loved Rufus,
and Rufus was a very you met Rufus, he was
a very wise cat. But he was a very smart
cat as well, very well read, very good at like
munching into minor birds, like never munched into a native bird,
by the way.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
But I remember one time watching.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Him on my back fence and there was these minor
birds him because he just killed one miner bird and
the miner bird what the remains of it were at
the back fence, and the other birds the rest of
the bird found.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
We were clearly upset about.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
This, were swooping Rufus and Rivers is sort of lying
on the top of the fence, well fed, well fed.
And then about twenty thirty minutes later I walked past
and there's a dead miner bird again and Rufus carry
you birds don't come in for the hunting.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah, so he was.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
And then there were two. Well the reason I bring
this up, if someone is systematically feeding your cat, you
can if you live in Switzerland, you can have them arrested. Really,
this woman in Zurich, an elderly woman is facing court
accused of systematically feeding her neighbor's cat. The cat's name
is Leo, and because she made it so easy for
(21:45):
Leo to go in there and be fed all the time,
Leo didn't want to return to his own home and
the owners are suing this woman. So she repeatedly fed Leo,
who lives in the same building, over a ten month period.
Despite her neighbour's requests for her to stop feeding Leo,
she didn't. She continued to defy their wishes. She installed
a cat flap on her door so Leo could come
and go as he pleased. The constant feeding and ease
(22:07):
of entry meant that Leo ended up abandoning his rightful
owner and instead favoring the old woman. She's facing charges
of systematic feeding, which is a criminal offense in Switzerland.
Says here. While it sounds lighthearted, cases like this are
increasingly landing in court, with many pet owners reporting feeders
who are interfering with their cats. Because it's easy to
(22:28):
buy a cat's affection, dogs not so much. You know,
with a cat, you can buy them off. They just
go to the nearest cats care.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Where are the foods coming? That's right, You do not
want to interfere with your neighbors pussy.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Because he has this whole journey has led to this.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
At the next neighborhood watch meeting, it's going to.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Be right and it is this where you're going for
the minor birds. No, no, let's pretend this is never What.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Have you done? On the cutting room floor? See I
do something and then you do it worse.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
You didn't need to do anything. You could have just gone,
what an interesting story and left it at that.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
What an interesting story. Let's leave it at that.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Roll the outro on the cutting room floor.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Texting K is the most emotionally triggering text you can send.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
This is just dropped breaking news.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Yeah, apparently a study has confirmed that when you text
someone just K. Not even just okay okay is bad enough,
but just K, it's the most triggering thing. And this
is what's interesting. They're saying that even though all of
texting is about truncating language, it can still carry weight
and have an impact.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Someone said that the thumbs up is passive aggressive. I thought,
that's like, okay, good on your job done, I've got
the message.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
It's still a level of being dismissive. You know what,
I'm like with texts. My friend's panic because when they're
texting me, they know I like capital letters, Yeah, full stops,
correct apostrophes, all of that stuff. I drive people crazy
with my text.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
My daughter hates when I put a full stop. It's
so aggressive. That just so aggressive and it's just it's
just punctuation. And she said, you're being aggressive? Now?
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Is that funny that if you use normal punctuation it's triggering.
Taking things away just with K is triggering.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Yep?
Speaker 3 (24:37):
You know what I hate When someone writes an email
and signs off with cheers.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
I do that?
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Do you? You do know I do want a cheers? No?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yeah, I do, as opposed to what what it regards?
What would you rather? I do cheers?
Speaker 2 (24:51):
In fact on me? You don't even write emails, Yeah
we were.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I write emails that you don't even know about it
to management.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
You know a last can do your email server here
crash The server crashed because you had one hundred and
fifty thousand unread email.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Well, sometimes I do have to do ones at home.
I put cheers on texts as well.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
You have never said not to you?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
What would I do it to you? Cheers means it's
less formal than regards. But it's not love, it's not thanks,
it's I thought it was nice.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
What about people? But chiao bella, I like all that too.
Do you put a bit of a tain in there?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
I don't, but I would be happy to.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Write to believe it. Cheers and bees.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
No, no, now you're just being stupid.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Cheers what about Okay, away from that.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
But I've known you since I've met you in August
of nineteen ninety nine, and this information on this day
in twenty twenty five has just dropped.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
You know, But this is the casual nature of language. Now,
my friend Anita McGregor is a university lecture and she's
had to mark people's assignments all postgrad. So these are
people who are in their twenties, they've already done three
years of studying, et cetera, et cetera, and a proposition
is put at the top blah blah blah like school debating.
(26:11):
And one of them started with that is so not true.
And people applying for jobs and places using the letter
eight instead of like great gr.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
They're writing in text speech, in text.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Speak on emails.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
What would William Shakespeare's say?
Speaker 1 (26:28):
What would he say you just send a giant aubergeene.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
To Testemona.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
He's a giant obergene to be getting on. I would
just say this in conclusion, what is your most dismissive
word that you.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Can say to someone like Champ? That's dismissive? Do you
think if you said thanks.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Chair, I would never call someone cham. No, that's you
say Champ.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
I know you will never hear me say Champ.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
And if you've watch mister in between, if you want
to get bashed to death in the jail, don't say Champ.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Really one day, may you tell me?
Speaker 2 (27:07):
When I had a builder.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Doing some work and he's a top top builder, and
then I was told to him on the phone, and
then someone else was told to me.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
As I was toying to him on the phone, I said,
thank you, Lucas, good.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
On your Champ, and then he went yep, hung up,
and then everything matrix like slowed down, and I went no,
and I rang Lucas bag I said, and he goes, yeah,
everything again, And I said, mate, I'm sorry, I just
called you Champ and you're not a Champ.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
But you called him mate, Mate, I've just called you Champ.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Mate is fine?
Speaker 1 (27:38):
I don't understand why Champ's offensive.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Cheers you go into jail, Yeah I will, I will.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
It's exactly right to Barbara and say, yeah, thanks Champ,
and see how you get on.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Okay, that's my assignon for the weekend and I'm happy.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Yeah yeah, yeah. Okay. Kids, that's it for today. Come
back tomorrow from What Johns and a Man
Staver Scateruver.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
On the cutting room floor today. Handbags.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
You love handbag, You know, I love an accessory, not
an accessory to a life of crime murder that No,
not that. But this is interesting, they say. A company
says that it's designed some leather that has been synthesized
from the DNA of the Tyrannosaurus rex. So sixty six
(00:41):
million years ago, the t rex roam the earth. They're
saying that they've been able to get some fossilized t
rex remains and they have lab grown some leather and
turn it into what looks like a crocodile handbag. It
looks nice, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
It looks like a whole Tyrannosaurus rat.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
No, that's the picture of the you're looking at the
picture of the dinosaur. Behind its just a bag in
the front.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
The skin has blended in.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yeah. So what they're saying here is this lab grown.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
It's like when the rolling stones stand together.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
I'd make a handbag of that. The lab grown fossilized
t rex collagen, they say, will be used as a
blueprint to manufacture a material that's structurally identical to traditional leather.
He'll be by a degradable innovative and ethically sound. However,
ethically sound, no dinosaurs were killed for this as one
dinosaur expert has said that the claim of making t
(01:33):
rex leather is misleading because they say there is no
preserved t rex DNA, because there are no t rex
gene DNA. They say starts to decay as soon as
the animal dies, though some fragments might remain in the
environment casual for a few million years, but the oldest
preserved DNA on record is about two million years old.
(01:55):
The t rex went extinct sixty six million years go,
so if this was going to happen, this would be
the first ever sample of a leather source from an
extinct species. But when they can't, you get DNA from
things like I've got a piece of resin that I
bought in Dubai that has a tiny little mosquito in amber.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
That is prehistoric, and I could extract DNA from that.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Surely it's like old mate from Jurassic Park and it
was in his walking stick in his cane.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
But that's not real. If you've got a creature embedded
in resin in amber in amber, that's what I meant.
I didn't make did I say resin, I say amber.
If you've got something embedded in amber, yep, surely that
would still hold its DNA.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yeah, well that's what But wei Jurassic Park.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
But we don't have dinosaurs. Imagine how big the necklaces
I'd have to have of amber with a dinosaur inside.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Because when you're talking about dinosaur genes like Tyrannosaurus genes,
you would imagine they wear a gene that would cover a.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Tail and everything like that.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
A pair of jeans because they walk on the two Yeah,
they wear a mean pair.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Would they wear the jeans from the waist back?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yea, all four legs.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
In a pair of jeans and a belt that goes
around their middle long ways. This is like that debate.
If a dolphin was to play a flute, does it
play it from its mouth or from its blowhole?
Speaker 2 (03:26):
It looks strange holding there.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
If a giraffe we wear is a necktie, is it
top of the neck top bottom?
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Not?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Well, other people saying bottle the neck because you don't
wear it at the top of your neck. You're at
the base of your neck where it joins your.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Body midway neck. Every giraffe is going to wear a
neck tie. It's going for an interview at the zoo.
Mister g Raff will see you now. But I like
the idea of a taradosaurus carrying a handbag has.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Got I think it could do it because it looks
like it's got little hands carrying a hand back.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Because if it's chasing you down, you're in a Jurassic
Park world and there's and you look at her, look
at you with your your little handbag.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Well that's why, as they say, you know, they can't smoke,
because you can't get a smoke up to your hand
from his little Jurassic arms, which should be the name
of the world's smallest pub, the Jurassic Arms.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I see what you did, Thank you. It's and a
man is getting.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
What's on the categorom floor today. I can tell you piercings.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Do you still have holes in your ears? Not your
earring hole, not your ear holes, your earring holes?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah? Probably, yeah, you can see them.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
See how many you have in that one?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
I had three and two or two and three?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
And when did you stop using them?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I had to appear in fat Pizza.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
And you thought I'd better look fair now I wasn't fat.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Actually I played in fat Pizza.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
I played the journalist that in invertently starts the Cronulla Riots,
and Paul Fennix said, well, you know, journalists largely don't
have piercings.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
That was back in the good old days. Now, you know,
you have devil horns on your forehead and you're doing
the nightly news.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
So I took them out for that, and then my
role morphed into the CEO of playing the role of
Jonathan on Swift and Shift.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
You played my boss. Your boss was laughable at well.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
You were Amanda Doyle. And once again I took the
earrings out. So I was forty when I took them out,
and I never put them back.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
In, And why didn't you choose to put them back.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Here just became too much of a hassle to go
and film the show, and then I have to put
them back in again, and then I lost one and
I lost another one. And then one day I saw
myself without them and I went, you know what, you know,
I could probably do it again. Put it back in again.
Instart being Adoe with an earring like Barnsey. He's got one, yeah,
but he's he's Barnsey. And then I see Harrison Ford
(05:49):
with his little diamond start earing. Remember you got upset
with cac He was on Cherry and Kennelly's show.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
And she said, what's with the earring?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
And well, he's grumpy at best of times, so that
made him more grumpy.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
You might as well said you can't fly a plane.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Well, had a few incidents with that as well.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I really had one plane crash, and there's.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Been two, hasn't has I got my ears piece? When
I was younger, I always wanted to get my ears pierced,
I think, and and Dad said he was of the
ear that said, whyn't you get a bone through your nose?
Certain times? So I did.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
My dad, mate, when you're eighteen, you can get a
bone through your notes.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Why when I left home went to university, I was
I left home at seventeen to go to UNI, and
I did get my ears pierced. And then because I
wore earring, wore headphones for so long they kind of
closed over. And when I was with Beyond two thousand
on television in the eighties, I wore ping pong balls
as ear rings. I wore big seed pods as earrings.
I had massive, massive earrings and then when it going
(06:44):
to radio, the holes kind of cleared over and closed over.
So I got them redone probably ten years ago. Every time,
every time I'd be filming anywhere, the stylist would say,
we'll put these, I said, well, and they could not
believe it.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Till you have to price line pharmacy and I said,
there you go. I'm just dropping the Latin of the
girl off.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
It was really painful second time round, was it? Yeah,
it was really painful. But the reason I'm asking about
your piercings. Here's the latest trend I've seen is for
people who, as they say, might have trouble keeping their
glasses from slipping down their noses. It's a bridge piercing.
It's a piercing across the bridge of your nose that
(07:24):
you attach your glasses to so your glasses don't fall off.
So you have a piercing on one side of your
nose and on the other and your glasses click into them.
And an expert here has said this latest body modification
is used to replace traditional glass frames. Though unique, it
raises concerns about healing, comfort and in the long term,
(07:46):
the effects of metal constantly bearing weight on the face.
There is there and then looking at this I just
kind of found a whole lot of images. Have you
heard about rhino piercing.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
No, that would be the schnozzer.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
What imagines to rhin O'Neill. No, rhino piercing. It's a piercing,
a stud that goes right through the tip of the nose.
Have a look at Exhibit aut Okay, a vertical piercing
plays through the tip of the nose. It's currently standing
out to those seeking to deviate from more conventional piercing
options like nostril a septum. Imagine those being so old
(08:17):
that you now have to think, how embarrassing Grandma's got
one of those. I'll put this in. It gets worse.
There's a piercing that goes between your front teeth, but
not between the teeth, that goes into the gum. Gum piercing,
A gum piercing. And what's a labrette? Is that the
hole the big hole that's this one here?
Speaker 4 (08:37):
No?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Is that the elaborate that stretches your skin?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yeah? Oh yeah, right, so you get expanded, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
I think.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
But this girl has a piercing under her nose like
a stud, and then she has a big circle. You
see this, but it's under the lip and through that,
right through you see her teeth and gums when her
mouth is closed. And look at the ones underneath that
a cheek piercing. That's the size of a coffee cup,
I reckon and through it you can see teeth, gums,
(09:08):
and tongue. It makes me feel sick. And there's someone
who has two tattoo studs in an arm pit? What's
that for? Is that stimulating? Is it just to look
different befefits in your armpit? Who cares? And that might
be a man, you know, might be a man.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
I remember I was outraged when Toby from Human Nature
got a eyebrow piercing.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
What the hell?
Speaker 3 (09:35):
That's the It might as well be the four horsemen
of the apocalypse. Toby from Human Nature has got an
eyebrow piercing.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
We're all going to hell and the hand.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
And now probably the head of the Commonwealth Bank and
the Governor General have eyebrows.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Prince Albert, hey, hey, everybody, hears some more Jelsey in
a man's curtain room for hey. Hey, Hey, get ready, everybody,
here's some more josy and a man's curtain room for hey.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Hey, hey, are you ready for on the cutting room floor,
Let's talk about Prince Louis.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Oh, isn't he cute? He is the stirr of the
royal children. And we've seen evidence of this and flybys
and all. Is that what we call them? When the
planes go overhead and they're standing on the balcony and
he gets bored and he puts his hands over his
ears and he gooms and he fucks around his mode
and his mother says, stop it now. Well, the ve
(10:33):
Day commemorations were on last week, and there's a hilarious moment.
This is so my son's, it's so you and your brother,
it's everything. Prince George, who's now eleven, he's getting to
the stage where he's probably a bit more conscious of
his appearance. Is bowl hair cut and all of that anymore.
There he just flicks his fingers through his hair, and
(10:56):
seven year old Louis, wh's sitting next to him with
a complete straight face, just mocks him, does exactly the
same action, but look straight ahead as if he hasn't
seen him do it, and you can see George looking
at him, going, oh, you're right, And then Louis just
read casually pretends he's just fixing his hair for himself.
It's the full raz and the whole world is watching it.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
William and Harry were pretty much like this as too,
this too?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Do you remember that? Well, that's right, they were like this. Yes.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Well, they'd mock each other and Princess Diana would say,
stop at you two usually the youngest son, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Have you seen that insta post recently of Princess Diana
chiding Harry.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
His tongue out and do all that kind of shing.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Yes. So do you think the future for these two boys,
George and Louis will it.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Be the same.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
No, they're just kids.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Because William and Harry aren't talking to each other.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
That really makes me sad. Women my age really feel
it because we were there when Charles and Diana married.
We bought into the dream. We saw those boys be born,
and I remember thinking what will become of them? And
it was at William's wedding and again at Harry's wedding.
There they were standing up for each other when their
(12:07):
mum wasn't there, and thought, what a beautiful relationship they have.
And it's been heartbreaking fall.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
I often wonder if Harry wasn't a royal and William
wasn't a royal, and.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I would say, like just movie stars.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Say Prince Charles and Princess Diana were movie stars Robert Redford.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
And what films do you think Charles would be Dumbo.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Now?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
But imagine the old movie stars.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
I believe we'd have more sympathy for Harry if his
mother had died in strange circumstances in a car and
then was made to parade behind the funeral cortege, we'd
probably have a lot more sympathy for him. But because
he turned his back on the royal family, everyone's.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Blowing up thes about it. And they old say, if
it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger, or it
will drive a wedge. That wedge is.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
But be very few people in the world who would
understand what it's like to be in the positioning in
And that's why it's sad that he can't be there
for William, who is in the weirdest position of all. Indeed,
that is a very unique situation that.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
William takes over everything in the Queen Judy, no, not
Judy Juty.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Who's Judy a large woman got.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Right, yet I'm taking over everything.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Judy takes over everything.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
And in terms of brothers kind of mocking each other
in feudy, you know, my son's constantly. Actually, we're coming
up to their birthday week. Both boys have a birthday
in May, and when they were younger, they had a
choice of going out to dinner what they'd like to
do on the night of their birthday. Jack's birthdays first,
so he always I want to go to the restaurant
down the road, and we get this and this and this,
(13:42):
and then when it came to Liam's, Liam said, you
know what, because Jack was saying, why don't you pick this?
Why don't you pick this? Liam said, I think we'll
just stay at home and have a tunic casserole. We've
never in our lives had a tunic castrole. Neither of
them wanted a tunic casserole, but Liam did it so
that Jack wouldn't have something nice for dinner.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yeah, I've seen your boy classic and.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Jack's you know, when they were younger asking for birthday presents,
Jack oh on this and this this, and Liam, to
make Jack look greedy, said you know what, I don't
need anything.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
I'll have just a piece of stream and a pair
of thongs and that's all.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
That's all I need.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
They laugh about that now, but that's how they were.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
I remember when Jack was into surfing and he said,
oh yeah, I was down a cougie and a surface.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
He was told the guy in the shop that he
was surfing some barrels, but there's never been. He would
just flop around in the phone.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
And Liam just went good on you. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
My brother and I when we were young, my brother
used to I don't know if he liked it or not,
but he liked wearing the same outfit as I did.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Because we're similar ages.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
People mistook us for twins, so my mother would buy
matching outfits. So whenever we go out for a family fee,
he something and they'd wear exactly the same thing. And
they go and Dad would, you know, push us into
the cargome.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Come on, I've got no time for this. We're just going.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
So what I would do is I wait till the
last minute to go, So we'd be just standing in
our underpants, both are standing our underpants.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
So Matt would wait until you.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Dressed, and dadoud say, come on, we we've got to go.
And man had say well, Brendan's not dressed yet, And
I said, well, he's not dressed, and he goes, just
get dressed both of you, and I said no. Then
one day he said, right in track, just both that
into the street in our underpants, which I'll be happy
to say weren't matching.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Was it your wedding day?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
It was.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Our wedding day?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Brother, was our wedding you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (15:44):
And what about the time when you completely raised him
when your mom bought him a jacket, the leather jacket.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
You put it from America and on the sleeves that
said troop in big letters is a bomber jacket.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
And your mother knew you well enough to say, don't
on the machiners jacket had a big star explosion that
said Troop.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
And I saw the jacket before that she gave it
to him.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
I said that to Mum, and he said, she said,
do not say anything to your brother when he give
it to him for his birthday.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Okay, his birthday. Care.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
He opens the jacket, puts it on, likes it o.
You know, he was looking and you look at your.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Brother for confirmation that it's okay.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
He walked down the stairs and he has what do
you reckon? I went as, when's the rest of the troop?
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Kid?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
And would your mother say, I'm not wearing that jacket.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
No, No, brothers, hey.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Brothers on the cutting room floor. What we got there today, Governor?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Haven't we all enjoyed seeing the return of Vivian. Vivian
was a little miniature dash hound who went missing on
Kangaroo on.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Yep yep for like eighteen months.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Eighteen months.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Yeah, their owners took it along to Kangaroo Island for a.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Holiday camping weekend.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
And it's not the sort of dog you take into
the wild.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
You see those dudes, the driver and the ford raptors,
and they got pig dogs on the back of their
forward raptors in those metal boxes, and they're slavering away
at the cage, not the driver of the card or
so sometimes you can't tell them a part.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
And then they let the pig dog and they gat
pig and shit and pigs.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
No, you don't take a little duck sound along for
what they did.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
They went camping. They took their little dog along because
he's a member of the family and he was within
a little cage. Darien had his toys, or they went fishing,
they came back. He wasn't there missing for eighteen months,
and they saw footage of him on various cameras, various
security cameras, I guess surveillance cameras around the island, so
they knew he was still alive. They finally captured him
(17:51):
and brought him home. Lots of great vision of the reunions,
and he looks like he's very, very happy to be home.
Because I was wondering if he'd come home and like
a Stephen King novel, a Cujo, he'd have gone feral
and more of their faces off.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Yeah, because Cujo was a Saint Bernard, and you wouldn't
have expected him to be savage.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Saint Bernard's largely or a rescue.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Dog, especially when they're bring you the Brandy, when.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
They bring the little little bowel of Brandy.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Remember Pet Symmetry. That book scared the hell out of me.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Was there a Saint Bernard in that as well?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
No, it was, it was yeah, and the little kid, Yeah,
spoiled kid.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Well, if you haven't seen a movie from nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
We can't help you with that. But that was terrifying.
But onto other things. Yes, I like the idea of
a lad Vivian's alive and well.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
A dash hand because they're the cutest little dog. They
look like they always look like they're wearing a waistcoat.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Are they doing? Their little velvety arms.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Little faces.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
It's so sweet.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
They're plagued with veterinary problems, though, aren't they?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Well are they?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Yeah? Yeah, because they're not meant to be that like that?
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Yes, well maybe not the miniatures, but they were bred.
Every dog has a purpose. Every dog originally had a job.
You didn't breed them just to be fun. Even the
dogs like a like a a king Charles Cavalier had
a job. The lap dogs, that was their job. That's
why they are bred with flat noses and big eyes,
because they can sit on your lap and look up
into your face, like my dog is a border collie.
(19:14):
We all know what those jobs are, us chasing around sheep.
But any of those dogs with slightly longer noses, if
you talk to them and say, do you want to
go for a walk, whatever, they'll move their head from
side to side because they can't see around this. They
can't see enough of your facial expressions around their long snouts.
So every dog has a job, so I'm not sure
(19:35):
what Valeries is so cute.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
I had a dog run so it was just a
ninety K like por machine, and its job.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Was to be a perpose I did.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Let's talk about cats, though I'm not a cat person.
You've had a number of cats over the town, and
you've spoken to me about how sometimes your cat was
being fed down the road.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Yeah, rufus our cat that we had. And I don't
want pets. I don't want cats. I don't want dogs.
I just don't have any time for them. And it's
not fair. It doesn't mean I don't like them. I
like cats and I like dogs, but I just don't
have the wherewithal to feed them, to do all the
junk that goes with them. I'm very disconnected from them.
You need a dog in your life, I don't. But
(20:15):
having said that, I don't hate dogs or cats.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
What happened. We inherited two cats.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
My wife and my kids inherited them too.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Families are like that as well.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
I want to be like reach Up, just going from
town to town, punching people out and rooting women.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
That's all I want to be.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
But someone was feeding your cat.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Yeah, yeah, so with a French chap and he loved Rufus,
and Rufus was a very you met Rufus, he was
a very wise cat. But he was a very smart
cat as well, very well read, very good at like
munching into minor birds, like never munched into a native bird,
by the way.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
But I remember one time watching.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Him on my back fence and there was these minor
birds him because he just killed one miner bird and
the miner bird what the remains of it were at
the back fence, and the other birds the rest of
the bird found.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
We were clearly upset about.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
This, were swooping Rufus and Rivers is sort of lying
on the top of the fence, well fed, well fed.
And then about twenty thirty minutes later I walked past
and there's a dead miner bird again and Rufus carry
you birds don't come in for the hunting.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah, so he was.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
And then there were two. Well the reason I bring
this up, if someone is systematically feeding your cat, you
can if you live in Switzerland, you can have them arrested. Really,
this woman in Zurich, an elderly woman is facing court
accused of systematically feeding her neighbor's cat. The cat's name
is Leo, and because she made it so easy for
(21:45):
Leo to go in there and be fed all the time,
Leo didn't want to return to his own home and
the owners are suing this woman. So she repeatedly fed Leo,
who lives in the same building, over a ten month period.
Despite her neighbour's requests for her to stop feeding Leo,
she didn't. She continued to defy their wishes. She installed
a cat flap on her door so Leo could come
and go as he pleased. The constant feeding and ease
(22:07):
of entry meant that Leo ended up abandoning his rightful
owner and instead favoring the old woman. She's facing charges
of systematic feeding, which is a criminal offense in Switzerland.
Says here. While it sounds lighthearted, cases like this are
increasingly landing in court, with many pet owners reporting feeders
who are interfering with their cats. Because it's easy to
(22:28):
buy a cat's affection, dogs not so much. You know,
with a cat, you can buy them off. They just
go to the nearest cats care.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Where are the foods coming? That's right, You do not
want to interfere with your neighbors pussy.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Because he has this whole journey has led to this.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
At the next neighborhood watch meeting, it's going to.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Be right and it is this where you're going for
the minor birds. No, no, let's pretend this is never What.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Have you done? On the cutting room floor? See I
do something and then you do it worse.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
You didn't need to do anything. You could have just gone,
what an interesting story and left it at that.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
What an interesting story. Let's leave it at that.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Roll the outro on the cutting room floor.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Texting K is the most emotionally triggering text you can send.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
This is just dropped breaking news.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Yeah, apparently a study has confirmed that when you text
someone just K. Not even just okay okay is bad enough,
but just K, it's the most triggering thing. And this
is what's interesting. They're saying that even though all of
texting is about truncating language, it can still carry weight
and have an impact.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Someone said that the thumbs up is passive aggressive. I thought,
that's like, okay, good on your job done, I've got
the message.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
It's still a level of being dismissive. You know what,
I'm like with texts. My friend's panic because when they're
texting me, they know I like capital letters, Yeah, full stops,
correct apostrophes, all of that stuff. I drive people crazy
with my text.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
My daughter hates when I put a full stop. It's
so aggressive. That just so aggressive and it's just it's
just punctuation. And she said, you're being aggressive? Now?
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Is that funny that if you use normal punctuation it's triggering.
Taking things away just with K is triggering.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Yep?
Speaker 3 (24:37):
You know what I hate When someone writes an email
and signs off with cheers.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
I do that?
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Do you? You do know I do want a cheers? No?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yeah, I do, as opposed to what what it regards?
What would you rather? I do cheers?
Speaker 2 (24:51):
In fact on me? You don't even write emails, Yeah
we were.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I write emails that you don't even know about it
to management.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
You know a last can do your email server here
crash The server crashed because you had one hundred and
fifty thousand unread email.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Well, sometimes I do have to do ones at home.
I put cheers on texts as well.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
You have never said not to you?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
What would I do it to you? Cheers means it's
less formal than regards. But it's not love, it's not thanks,
it's I thought it was nice.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
What about people? But chiao bella, I like all that too.
Do you put a bit of a tain in there?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
I don't, but I would be happy to.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Write to believe it. Cheers and bees.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
No, no, now you're just being stupid.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Cheers what about Okay, away from that.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
But I've known you since I've met you in August
of nineteen ninety nine, and this information on this day
in twenty twenty five has just dropped.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
You know, But this is the casual nature of language. Now,
my friend Anita McGregor is a university lecture and she's
had to mark people's assignments all postgrad. So these are
people who are in their twenties, they've already done three
years of studying, et cetera, et cetera, and a proposition
is put at the top blah blah blah like school debating.
(26:11):
And one of them started with that is so not true.
And people applying for jobs and places using the letter
eight instead of like great gr.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
They're writing in text speech, in text.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Speak on emails.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
What would William Shakespeare's say?
Speaker 1 (26:28):
What would he say you just send a giant aubergeene.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
To Testemona.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
He's a giant obergene to be getting on. I would
just say this in conclusion, what is your most dismissive
word that you.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Can say to someone like Champ? That's dismissive? Do you
think if you said thanks.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Chair, I would never call someone cham. No, that's you
say Champ.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
I know you will never hear me say Champ.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
And if you've watch mister in between, if you want
to get bashed to death in the jail, don't say Champ.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Really one day, may you tell me?
Speaker 2 (27:07):
When I had a builder.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Doing some work and he's a top top builder, and
then I was told to him on the phone, and
then someone else was told to me.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
As I was toying to him on the phone, I said,
thank you, Lucas, good.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
On your Champ, and then he went yep, hung up,
and then everything matrix like slowed down, and I went no,
and I rang Lucas bag I said, and he goes, yeah,
everything again, And I said, mate, I'm sorry, I just
called you Champ and you're not a Champ.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
But you called him mate, Mate, I've just called you Champ.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Mate is fine?
Speaker 1 (27:38):
I don't understand why Champ's offensive.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Cheers you go into jail, Yeah I will, I will.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
It's exactly right to Barbara and say, yeah, thanks Champ,
and see how you get on.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Okay, that's my assignon for the weekend and I'm happy.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Yeah yeah, yeah. Okay. Kids, that's it for today. Come
back tomorrow from What Johns and a Man
