It's Sosy and Jounman just funny room floor, It's cozy
and Man's cutting.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Room on the cutting room floor. Well I didn't know this.
Freddie Mercury has a secret daughter.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yeah, I mean he was fully I guess bisexual because
we're fully bisexual, because we'd heard that he had a
best friend. Was it Mary?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Was Mary?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Were they a couple?
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Yeah, well they were just together for a long time,
but shee couple. Yeah, well they were doing it.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yeah according to bohemian raps.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Yeah, but in reality.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
And she said, look clearly, Freddie, you know you like
batan for the other team.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Well, obviously batting for all teams. Yes, this daughter has
outed herself. She's remaining anonymous and she's going by the
name of b But she's been kept secret for nearly
forty eight years, fifty years. She's forty eight years old,
lives in Europe. She works as a medical professional, and
so she was born in nineteen seventy six.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
YEP.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
After Freddy had a fling with the wife of a
close friend. Everyone knew about it apparently always the band
members or friends they kept. The inner circle kept this story.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Quired, it's good when you're a rock star, isn't it.
You just get away with that stuff for that.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
These days you wouldn't. I don't think you would these days, well,
Dave roll, Yeah, he's praying for these days. But Bee,
as she is known, was raised by her mother and
by her mother's husband, who presumably knew as well. But
she's spoken out for the first time. But she said
that he has she's compiled a book or she's handed
(02:19):
over a whole lot of transcripts of his life that
he had given to her. And she said she had
a really close relationship for a whole life. She was
fifteen when he passed away, and she said, Freddie Mercury
was and is my father, but a very close and
loving relationship from the moment I was born throughout the
final fifteen years of his life. He adored me and
(02:39):
was devoted to me. The circumstances of my birth may seem,
by most people's standards, unusual and even outrageous. That should
come as no surprise, but it never detracted from his
commitment to love and look after me. He cherished me
like a treasured possession. After more than three decades of lie,
speculation and distortion, is time to let Freddie speak. Those
who've been aware of my existence kept his greatest secret
(03:01):
out of loyalty to Freddy. That I choose to reveal
myself in my own mid life is my decision and
mine alone.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
So it would you be busting to tell someone, wouldn't you?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Oh, wouldn't you just but she's saying here before his
death he handed over seventeen of his journals, and so
she has said, shared these these with a biographer. It's
part of this new book.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
It's juicy. We know this is all bombshell news. I
didn't know that it.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Would be in those journals, you think, like musical stuff,
life stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Just life stuff for his cats. I had to build
another room for my cats.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
That's Journal number one.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
There's all of that.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Journal number two. I've got to see.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Crew and yeah, why did he wear that little studded
armband thing?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
That's Journal number three.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
And my thing was, we never actually thought that Freddy
was gay.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
We just sort of, you know, we ignored that, like
we ignored that Midnight Earl were into politics.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
We go that Liberaci liberals actual. He sued a magazine
claimed that he was gay, suited them successfully.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I just thought he was a snappy dresser.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
But now it seems weird to think that Freddie actually
was really bisexual.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Yeah, yeah, I think I think he he helped him
out when they were busy, and then he became.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Like, who are the women?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah? Everyone?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
You know, he wasn't gay so much at the start,
but then flipped over right to the next It's all
documented in Bohemian raps.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
And it's all probably documented. One of is documented in
these journals.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yeah, be talked about his teeth today. I clean my
teeth again and again. I've got some dental flows day two.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Wouldn't He's probably used big yarns of wools dentified. He
wouldn't need a thin dental flows.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yeah, if he ever gets together Chad Morgan.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
And discuss how they can eat an apple through a
tennis racket the journal number fifteen.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Okay, not speaking of the dead's teeth, but I think
Freddy's choppers were more evenly set than Chad Morgan's.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
But you know, this is what we've seen with this
beautiful woman I think who's been in white lotus. She's
so interesting looking. She's English. Is all one can talk
about as we are now is my teeth, because we
don't we don't see regular we don't see irregular teeth anymore.
Everyone's teeth are so perfect. Like Walton Goggins, who plays
her partner in the show. These are these almost like
(05:22):
tombstones is iridescent white teeth.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yeah. And he's got the big devon patch on.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
The back as well on the front patch in front.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
He's brought back the receding like Elizabeth I big backwards
head as well. And people are loving him for and
no one's saying that's weird, but she gets mocked for
her teeth.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
That's like when I'm at the servo and I check
out that guy's Devon patch and the security camera and on.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
That's me and you ring a bike helmet.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
On the cutting room floor today. I know that you
are pretty much.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Indonesian Meada, Yeah, I think that means here cop this
prawn head or that's colop that were done. I did
Indonesian for a number of views at school. It's pretty
much all I can remember. So I'm not puggy by
the way. What brings what it makes you speak about
my recesion heritage.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I think of Indonesia and I think about you.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
But I also just found this story that popped up
on my social media feed. In twenty twenty one, an
Indonesian man married his rice cooker and divorced it four
days later.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Why he decided that.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
So I don't want to know why I married. I
want to know why he divorced it.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
He cited that it didn't talk back and it couldn't
prepare other dishes.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
He wanted it to talk back.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah, he wanted his rice cooker to talk back to him.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
That's a picture of him on the Happy Day, kissing
the rice cooker on at the altar.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Remember when you used to have conversations with your microwave, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Yeah, Well my microwave a digital screen print out screen,
that old digital and it would say enjoy your meal,
and well, I've just put a cup of coffee in there, mate.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
It's not he's the feud with It's a cup of coffee.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
You damn fool, I'll have say.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Having said that, I got more conversation out out of
that than any of my teenage.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Children at the time.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
But appliances I would marry I wouldn't marry one.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
I'm a recent adaptee to a rice cook and I
must say because I could never muck up rice. Whenever
I cooked rice, I could never muck it up. You know,
there's a dish that you could always star at rice.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
And then what happened.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Someone got me a.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Rice cooker and I started making rice and it just
always works. It works just as well. But having said that,
I never mucked up rice before.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Well, I told you about Anita McGregor, my friend, who
is a very good cook. But she said, once her
husband whoused to travel a lot of work, said, one
of our Thaie colleagues is in town. He's coming out
for dinner. And she goes, oh great, I'm how embarrassing.
I'm making a stir fry.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
That's a real Bewitched situation.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Like Bewitched, she was making a stir fry. He was tie.
So she comes over for dinner and she didn't know
any special planning because she almost finished it by the
time they arrived.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
If only she had some magical power.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
And she served it up to him and he was
very polite, but he said, what's this and she said,
that's rice. He didn't reckick the only thing in the
family laugh at her. She cannot cook rice. He didn't
recognize it as rice, so when he went back to Thailand,
he sent her a rice. She chose not to take offense.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
If that was bewitched, he would have been turned into
a donkey.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
And a new tail on him.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
I know you're a big fan of the Thermo mix.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
If I was to marry an appliance, that Germanic boyfriend
would be the Thermo. I like the Thermo Mix because
it's reliable, it's methodical, takes all the thinking out, which
some people don't like, and I like it. It is
noisy and it's big, and I can't like my the
(08:57):
air fry, which I'm also obsessed with. That's kind of noisy,
and that's also kind of big if you you need
a lot of bench space for your proper appliance boyfriends.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Has anyone thought about combining the Thermo mix with the
air fry.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
No, because the Thermo mix has been engineered to be
as simple as it can be, and probably the air
fry has too. You can, but you can, I reckon,
have the biggest air froy in history of the universe,
and you still can't cook an entire meal for a
family in it. Not the ones I sEH, unless you
like I see these American ones that have a slot
for this and a slot for that, and everyone seems
to be fed these enormous meals. I don't know how
they do it. Yeah, yeah, but in one ship at
(09:29):
a time.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
But you got to get an air fry of the
size of a kiln.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yeah, that's right, and a Thermo mix the size of Hans.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Okay, I think you've got to separate from the Thermo mixer.
It's a big cult.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Well what about you, what is what's your favorite?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
My favorite?
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Well, next to the rice cooker. I did have an
electric walk, which I was very very fond of. What happened,
All the teflons started coming out, and then the family were.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Because black stuff goes into the meal.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
You can play about cancer and all that whatever whatever.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
But it cooked so well. It cooks so well.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
I do like the idea of the you've got it
at your place. It's like a takeaway show.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yeah, plate in the middle of I have great envy
with that.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
That is a great thing.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah, we haven't used it lately because it's just easy,
just with the two of us to cook meat or
whatever it is in a fry pan. Rather than cleaning
that whole thing and having the house sting.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
I think you should start up a little tepanyaki restaurant,
you know, chop it up stuff, little love hearts of salt.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
And or exit people.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I could do that. Barley's just sitting on a woman.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I wouldn't even cook the eggs. I just throw them.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Just throw exit at your husband. That I that's all
you got to do. It's not like the kitchen whiz.
Remember the kitchen wings.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
What was a kitchen wing?
Speaker 4 (10:42):
It was a classic, that was the first one of
the food process.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah, but it had about eighteen spinning parts. Who hasn't
had a cupboard filled with graters and seven or eight
This is why the mix is good, because there's not
seven or eight parts that you attached to it. They
just aren't.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Remember we were watching Larry and Kylie Show on TV.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
In the advertorial was the slicer and dice the thing
that it goes in the box.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Maybe you are you and I.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
You looked at the TV and as quickly as you
could say, Joe the gadget man, you had me ringing
the number to buy two of.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
These and you know what, took the tip of my
finger off the second I used it.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
So the last time I had Coleslaw at.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Your every time I look at it now my bum clenchers.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
What time, I'd say, you're using it in the wrong place.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Ready, everybody here is some more Jorgy Hanam.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
That just got rve.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Diff Ready, everybody here is some more Jorgy Hadams.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I'm taking through the sweepings on the cutting room floor.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
What do you know of President William Howard taft Ooh
you heard of him?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
The American president? Yeah, not really, he was.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
He was one of those ones that sort of didn't
really do anything amazing, did he was?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
He was in between wars?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Was he was the twenty seventh president yep, nineteen oh
nine to nineteen thirteen.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Yes, so he's just he got out just before the war,
which is where you want.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
To be, which is where you want to But he's
been described as unremarkable. His presidency was uneventful. That's what
you want, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
But it's a bit like Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton had
some good times up to when.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
His time's got two good.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Well, he had a lot of.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Good times, but really he had the saxophone and all
the cool stuff, and everyone loved him.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Everyone loved him a little too much. Well, why I'm
interested in talking about William Howard Tough today is I've
seen how much he ate in a day, and I
mean every day. I'm going to take you through what
he ate every single day. Breakfast three waffles and maple syrup,
a three hundred and forty gram steak, and five cups
(12:48):
of coffee. That's breakfast.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
That's breakfast.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
We need to move on to lunch. Four lamb chops,
turtle soup made with actual turtle but muta potatoes, coffee,
five bond bonds, raspberry jelly with whipped cream, and salted almonds.
That was every lunch.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
This is lunch.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
When he dinner, Yeah, salad the salad, so that was
good with olives, cucumber, asparagus, lobster stew, roast, turkey, potato salad, peas,
a two hundred and twenty six gram steak. For dinner,
a salmon filet, and possum and tato tots made with
actual possum.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Really like potato gems as we call them here.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Probably you're missing out the bit that he ate possum. Yeah,
so with dinner. He's had steak, salmon, possum, lobster and turkey.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
You know anyone, he must crap a raaway slipper. Here's
his dessert, well he has dessert, well, a fruit plate
in coffee, so that's okay, and then a four color
cream fruit pie. And he didn't just eat this on
the big days.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
He ate this every day. He was a big guy.
Apparently when he died he was buried in a piano box.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Then he was that fat. Need a bigger boss. I
need to google this guy.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Have a picture of William Taft.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
William William you talk while I google.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Like a turtle soup sounds disgusting, Well, it's made from turtle.
It's a stewlike soup traditionally made with turtle meat, often
served in Asia and Creole cuisine. It's known for its rich,
flavorful broth and the use of a roof for thickening.
Because when you're having that, why wouldn't you want it
thick up?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
What part of the world is that from?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
From Creole? In Asia? I said, no, it's from Creole.
It's Creole cuisine. The soup can also include hard boiled
eggs and vegetables, because I don't think there's enough in.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
There is creole down in the deep Bolt South.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
It's sort of Louisiana, down by Louisiana where the alligators.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Are so mean. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
He's not eating an alligat. It's the only thing he has.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Seen that's poke Saladanni remember that song eating gotcha granny?
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Oh, there's bigs are in there, A big boombar.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
He I would imagine him to be more boombar from
more what he ate.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
He doesn't seem that large. He just looks like an
average American these days.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Well maybe, but also you know, is he hidden behind
a desk or behind a piano box because you didn't
see the reality they did. They'd had presidents that couldn't walk,
but you wouldn't know.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Yeah, which one was the one in the wheelchair.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
The Roosevelt. Whereas now someone's lactose, intolerant. We think the
world's going to end.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
There's president Well with Roosevelt.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Roosevelt, they had put the front bit of the deck
because the desk used to be able to see the
legs of the president. And then they put that bit
at the front because he was in a wheelchair. And
they didn't want anyone to see that he was a cripple.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
I saw the thing the other day with Jermaine Grier
where she was on a talk show, probably in the seventies,
and an American I think he was a politician, said
a woman could never be president because of all the
hormonal flows that she has around menstruation. And she said,
what about all these American presidents who'd been hugely unwell
(15:51):
and no one knew. And she said to this guy
on this talk show, she said, do you know if
I'm menstruating now? And he was flax he'd be asked
such a question, and she said, I rest my case.
How would you know? Shut your neck, yeah, keep your
PI hole and get buried in a piano box.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Yeah, Or have the thing in the front of the
desk or that Bill Clinton appreciated it.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
No need to remove that. Don't want anyone to see
what's going on underneath that desk. Everybody hear from on
the cutting room floor today, what have you got for us?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
You know?
Speaker 1 (16:24):
How you get to an age as an adult and
you think you know things, Yeah, and then thanks to
the Internet, we find out that we don't know much
at all.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
It sort of ruined bullshitters everywhere the old Internet, because
you go and start people bullshitters start spinning a story
and then someone starts googling it and everything. Don't ruin
it for the for these so called story or yarn tellers.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Well, this is an interesting one. This isn't a silly one.
This is this woman has said I thought I was
an idiot, and she's a university student. She said, she thought,
and I think I probably did to. I didn't think
too much about it. That urine comes from liquids in
your digestive tract. But it's actually it comes out of
your blood, does it. Yeah, So you eat food, goes
(17:10):
into your stomach, into your intestines, gets absorbed into your
intestinal walls. A large portion of that ends up being
the liquid portion of your blood. You have solids, you
bits floating around your blood, and you have liquid in
your blood. So really the part that is the liquid
in your blood I'm paraphrasing here, gets comes out as urine.
(17:30):
So all the urine that you've urinated just today was
just recently part of your liquid part of your blood.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Okay, So that makes sense if you have blood in
your urine though, what does that mean?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Break down?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
But the thing is, so I think what we thought, okay,
I think what we thought was that you drink things
and it goes to go straight and then it comes
out as the bits that aren't taken in to your
cells as energy go straight out as.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Let's go fantastic voyage. You drink water straight to your stomach.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Or eat food go straight to your stomach and then.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
But then it goes to your bladder as well, and
you and you're intestines.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah, and then you bow.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
It gets absorbed into the testinal walls into your body.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Yeah, which comes first in testines then into bow. Was
bow part of intestines?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I'm not sure I need it.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
We need our anatomical stacks.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Just except your winged blood. But don't panic.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Now here's another thing that I discovered. Okay, So that's
an influencer saying I didn't know that. Another influencer has
said that they didn't know this, that the harvest snaps
baked pea crisps, Yeah, are only proportionately pea either.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
They were pea well sixty.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Eight percent of its pea, but it's really constituted PA
with those other things that make All those snacky snacks.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Are floor sweepings, hair, all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
All that kind of stuff. This woman said, I've been
eating them for years, thinking that they were green bean
pea urus. Yeah, she said, I've been eating it. I've
been eating them for years, she said, thinking that they
were gorgeous green bean pea goodness goodness. But it wasn't
until last year I found out they're not dehydrated peas.
(19:14):
It is shaped like peas. Do you want to hear
what else I've discovered?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Look at you, you're a font.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
And this isn't about peas of any kind. If you
put one of every animal in a bag, so not
like Noah who used two. So put one of every
bags of two of every animals. If you put one
of every animal in a bag and then pick out one,
(19:39):
you have a one in five chance of it being
a beetle. There are so many beetles, and we never
saw them on Noah's Ark. They don't get the accolades
they deserve for being the rulers of the universe. Do
we hear something else?
Speaker 2 (19:49):
I'd picked John by the way, I think you know
I've read about John Lennon. He sounds like a bit
of a dick. I'm just going to come out and say, so.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Who's your faith? I've got a soft sure, but I
actually and I love George, but I have a soft
spot for a ringo.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yeah, George.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Actually, I think George is possibly the most likable of
all the beetles. Next to I think Paul and John
were a bit you know, they're difficult. But John, I'm
going to do a flip around. He was the main game.
But I've read a few books now, you know he
bashed yoga a few he did.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
It was a bit of a basher and it was
a bit of a prick.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
That should be the title of a new book. Bit
of a basher and bit of a prick.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
That's That's. That's all I've read.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Here's some new information you may not know. Let me
give you one more. T Rex lived sixty six million
of years ago. Yep, Stegosaurus. It's a mate, the stegosaurus.
You'd think mates hang around each other. They lived one
hundred and fifty five millionaire years ago. The gap between
the Rex and the stag is sixteen million years greater
(20:51):
than between the t rex and present day. So we
think that they all lived in one linear line. T
Rex says I had a stag on the way to
the factory in the morning.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
No, they were miles apart.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Age we have. We have more in common time wise
with the Rex than the Rex does with the stag.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Maybe that's why you left deb.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Oh Brendan, and you think John's a prick?
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Sorry, that was this was out there. It was out there,
you know.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I end this now, everybody.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
It's time for John and Amanda's cutting room all. Everybody,
it's time for John and Amanda's cutting room for all.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
It's the cutting room for on the cutting room floor today.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Do you remember the first time you had to pay
an electrical bill.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Or any sort of services bill.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Yeah. I moved in with a flatmate, my first flatmate,
and we were renting a television and I think an
answering machine, right, And I it was my job that
month to send the money off. And I sent cash
in the mail and a man knocks at the door
and says, you haven't paid, So I sent it off.
I sent cash in the under the post office nicked it.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
You know, how did you get to this age?
Speaker 1 (22:14):
But I was, you know, twenty one.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
I would love to hear that voicemail on the answering
machine now.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
But someone came and knocked at the door.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Yeah, that's what they used to do. You hire, purchase stuff,
remember those days.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
These days the kids just get TVs because they're so cheap,
But in the old days were quite expensive.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I always remember those bills.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
I remember my mum and dad paying bills and then
thinking how do you do that?
Speaker 2 (22:37):
How do you even work it out?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
But you know, when people talk about balancing a check book,
I still don't know what that means.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I don't know
what it means. It means you've got enough to go out, Yeah,
to match up what comes in.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Yeah, of course, are you so what you're supposed to do?
Speaker 4 (22:52):
When you wrote your check on the stub, you wrote
what it was for, and then you'd balance what's in
your account. So I'd write what's in the stub, I'd
send the check out and then just write another check,
and I wouldn't actually balance it.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I just keep writing check. Yeah, of course, and all
of a sudden I'd be overdrawn.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
Go.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I wrote it, I wrote it down, wrote it.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
That's what I was told to do. I wrote it.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Down and you know my maths it's not great, it's
not really good. There is Now in the University of Canada,
they've launched an Adulting one oh one course for students
looking to learn life's most basic time.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
We should have that in schools. You know my friend
Anita McGregor, she teaches at UNI and she has this
thing doesn't matter. She has staff that don't know how
to post letters, she has staff that don't have don't
have skills to answer a telephone. And these are post
grad students. But these are things that matter to us.
Does it matter to them? Do you have like this
(23:46):
is a debate you and I would have. Does it
matter that I don't know how to change a tire?
Speaker 4 (23:51):
I don't think about you so much not being able
to change a tire, but it's very handy in your life.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
To change a tire.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
These days of out sourcing, our skill sets are different,
and people of our generation think you have to know
all that practical stuff and we think you're missing out
on life skills if you don't. But with a changing
world where you can get other people to do these
things for you and you use your time elsewhere, do
you have to know this? Stuff. What are they teaching
(24:18):
in this class?
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Well, you can learn how to change a tire, managing
your finances, grocery shopping, keeping your laundry whites white. Really, Yeah,
things like that, how to sew, how to cook, how
to not set yourself on fire.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
It's actually a class don't set yourself on fire?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Yeah, what do you think? Oh, look, you're a practical
person and it matters to you. You often say young
people don't know anything, so you think it's important.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
It doesn't matter to me that I made myself. As
I've said before, Generation X is a very capable generation.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
So it's not here we go.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
So the generation Baby Boomers had the war and they
had cheap housing and they could do whatever the hell
they wanted. They could be absent fathers. This is the
Baby Boomer men, the Generation X people, we came along
and we said we don't want the harsh that our
fathers went through.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
So we became very capable.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
So at the same time, we could change tires, we
could wire up an extension cord, we could.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Do all that stuff. But then and we could be
present parents.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Yeah, but how then do you feel because you're then
the curmudgeons who who don't like that the next generation down.
I don't do anything.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
I only Generation X, our courmudgeons, our generation just go okay, mate,
oldest fix it.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
But you're sneery. Your generation by and large is sneery
at the capabilities of the next one down.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Yeah, because they have no capabilities.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
But doesn't matter, because they do have capabilities. Well, they
have different capabilities.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Unless you saund like someone's mother.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
It's true though, but yeah, they have They navigate the world.
They navigate a world that you don't have to navigate,
and they have a different skill set.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Our generation runs rings around them as far as just
getting stuff done.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
And then you need you just son to fix the TV.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
No, well I fixed him myself. He's got no idea.
But I've adapt to you to technology.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Like amphibious man.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
If that's what generation next to And people that listen
to this from Generation X know exactly what I'm talking about.
You know, we didn't have phones. If you've got a
flat tire, you had to change the tire yourself.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Dad, you could, of course you did.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
And because weather two, you need to today.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Because they got phones.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
So really, if they didn't have connectivity that they have now,
they would probably be capable.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
But because sure, as like.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
The weaving loom and the meal, all those things made
things easier in our lives, a mobile phone makes life
ten times more easy.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
You remember when you were a kid, you go and
look for your mates. You couldn't find them anywhere.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
You'd ride your pushbike and it's the only way you
could tell if your mates around, if their pushbikes are
in front of another mate's house.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
And then you look at the kids.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Now riding all those fat boy e bike things around, Like,
I saw this big fat kid riding this big fat
bike and I'm on my normal pushbike that I got
off a junk pile. Off your son. He's riding along,
wheezing away on a big e bike. I go next
to him, and he obviously goes quicker than me because
he's propelled by the technology.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
But I'm thinking about what's wrong. We used to ride
bikes without him. He biking.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
He is navigating a world you don't have to. There's
much more traffic now. He is facing a future of
having to marry an AI bot. They will have a
different environment and a different life to us, and we
can't see it through the prism of us or we
will never accept them.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
It's a hard luck life, isn't it for those kids?
Speaker 1 (27:39):
I love that you're so capable. You've irritated me. Now
let's end this.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
I'm as capable as anything.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Make me a cup of teen.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
You want something done, you get a generation exitter, do it.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Matt's twenty five plus eight. So call your son. I'll
call your son.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
Well, he won't answer his phone, and I need to
to prove some sort of point by you.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
You don't even know what twenty five times are.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
But I'm not banging on about how brilliant I am
and no one else is.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
I never said the words I'm brilliant.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
I just said Generation X is a very capable generation.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Why are you getting a better out of shape? You're
part of that.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
I don't like this generational talk because I think it
means the older generation and the younger generation they look
at you and think you're an old fart, and you
look at them and think they're idiots. And somewhere in
the midst of that the reality life.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
We were raised with corporal punishment, lead paint, asbestos, no
helmets for push bikes. Pushbikes I didn't have motors in them.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Were raised. It all was.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Boring trope in the world, and kids today are in
a very different world that is very hard to navigate.
Go and lick your paint, Brendan when you get home
and enjoy yourself.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Let's have an appealothon for them. Actually, that probably is

It's Sosy and Jounman just funny room floor, It's cozy

Speaker 4 (00:33):
Room on the cutting room floor. Well I didn't know this.
Freddie Mercury has a secret daughter.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yeah, I mean he was fully I guess bisexual because
we're fully bisexual, because we'd heard that he had a
best friend. Was it Mary?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Was Mary?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Were they a couple?
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Yeah, well they were just together for a long time,
but shee couple. Yeah, well they were doing it.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yeah according to bohemian raps.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Yeah, but in reality.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
And she said, look clearly, Freddie, you know you like
batan for the other team.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Well, obviously batting for all teams. Yes, this daughter has
outed herself. She's remaining anonymous and she's going by the
name of b But she's been kept secret for nearly
forty eight years, fifty years. She's forty eight years old,
lives in Europe. She works as a medical professional, and
so she was born in nineteen seventy six.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
YEP.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
After Freddy had a fling with the wife of a
close friend. Everyone knew about it apparently always the band
members or friends they kept. The inner circle kept this story.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Quired, it's good when you're a rock star, isn't it.
You just get away with that stuff for that.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
These days you wouldn't. I don't think you would these days, well,
Dave roll, Yeah, he's praying for these days. But Bee,
as she is known, was raised by her mother and
by her mother's husband, who presumably knew as well. But
she's spoken out for the first time. But she said
that he has she's compiled a book or she's handed
(02:19):
over a whole lot of transcripts of his life that
he had given to her. And she said she had
a really close relationship for a whole life. She was
fifteen when he passed away, and she said, Freddie Mercury
was and is my father, but a very close and
loving relationship from the moment I was born throughout the
final fifteen years of his life. He adored me and
(02:39):
was devoted to me. The circumstances of my birth may seem,
by most people's standards, unusual and even outrageous. That should
come as no surprise, but it never detracted from his
commitment to love and look after me. He cherished me
like a treasured possession. After more than three decades of lie,
speculation and distortion, is time to let Freddie speak. Those
who've been aware of my existence kept his greatest secret
(03:01):
out of loyalty to Freddy. That I choose to reveal
myself in my own mid life is my decision and
mine alone.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
So it would you be busting to tell someone, wouldn't you?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Oh, wouldn't you just but she's saying here before his
death he handed over seventeen of his journals, and so
she has said, shared these these with a biographer. It's
part of this new book.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
It's juicy. We know this is all bombshell news. I
didn't know that it.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Would be in those journals, you think, like musical stuff,
life stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Just life stuff for his cats. I had to build
another room for my cats.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
That's Journal number one.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
There's all of that.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Journal number two. I've got to see.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Crew and yeah, why did he wear that little studded
armband thing?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
That's Journal number three.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
And my thing was, we never actually thought that Freddy
was gay.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
We just sort of, you know, we ignored that, like
we ignored that Midnight Earl were into politics.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
We go that Liberaci liberals actual. He sued a magazine
claimed that he was gay, suited them successfully.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I just thought he was a snappy dresser.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
But now it seems weird to think that Freddie actually
was really bisexual.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Yeah, yeah, I think I think he he helped him
out when they were busy, and then he became.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Like, who are the women?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah? Everyone?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
You know, he wasn't gay so much at the start,
but then flipped over right to the next It's all
documented in Bohemian raps.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
And it's all probably documented. One of is documented in
these journals.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yeah, be talked about his teeth today. I clean my
teeth again and again. I've got some dental flows day two.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Wouldn't He's probably used big yarns of wools dentified. He
wouldn't need a thin dental flows.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yeah, if he ever gets together Chad Morgan.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
And discuss how they can eat an apple through a
tennis racket the journal number fifteen.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Okay, not speaking of the dead's teeth, but I think
Freddy's choppers were more evenly set than Chad Morgan's.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
But you know, this is what we've seen with this
beautiful woman I think who's been in white lotus. She's
so interesting looking. She's English. Is all one can talk
about as we are now is my teeth, because we
don't we don't see regular we don't see irregular teeth anymore.
Everyone's teeth are so perfect. Like Walton Goggins, who plays
her partner in the show. These are these almost like
(05:22):
tombstones is iridescent white teeth.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yeah. And he's got the big devon patch on.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
The back as well on the front patch in front.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
He's brought back the receding like Elizabeth I big backwards
head as well. And people are loving him for and
no one's saying that's weird, but she gets mocked for
her teeth.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
That's like when I'm at the servo and I check
out that guy's Devon patch and the security camera and on.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
That's me and you ring a bike helmet.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
On the cutting room floor today. I know that you
are pretty much.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Indonesian Meada, Yeah, I think that means here cop this
prawn head or that's colop that were done. I did
Indonesian for a number of views at school. It's pretty
much all I can remember. So I'm not puggy by
the way. What brings what it makes you speak about
my recesion heritage.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I think of Indonesia and I think about you.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
But I also just found this story that popped up
on my social media feed. In twenty twenty one, an
Indonesian man married his rice cooker and divorced it four
days later.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Why he decided that.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
So I don't want to know why I married. I
want to know why he divorced it.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
He cited that it didn't talk back and it couldn't
prepare other dishes.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
He wanted it to talk back.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah, he wanted his rice cooker to talk back to him.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
That's a picture of him on the Happy Day, kissing
the rice cooker on at the altar.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Remember when you used to have conversations with your microwave, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Yeah, Well my microwave a digital screen print out screen,
that old digital and it would say enjoy your meal,
and well, I've just put a cup of coffee in there, mate.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
It's not he's the feud with It's a cup of coffee.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
You damn fool, I'll have say.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Having said that, I got more conversation out out of
that than any of my teenage.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Children at the time.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
But appliances I would marry I wouldn't marry one.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
I'm a recent adaptee to a rice cook and I
must say because I could never muck up rice. Whenever
I cooked rice, I could never muck it up. You know,
there's a dish that you could always star at rice.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
And then what happened.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Someone got me a.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Rice cooker and I started making rice and it just
always works. It works just as well. But having said that,
I never mucked up rice before.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Well, I told you about Anita McGregor, my friend, who
is a very good cook. But she said, once her
husband whoused to travel a lot of work, said, one
of our Thaie colleagues is in town. He's coming out
for dinner. And she goes, oh great, I'm how embarrassing.
I'm making a stir fry.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
That's a real Bewitched situation.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Like Bewitched, she was making a stir fry. He was tie.
So she comes over for dinner and she didn't know
any special planning because she almost finished it by the
time they arrived.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
If only she had some magical power.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
And she served it up to him and he was
very polite, but he said, what's this and she said,
that's rice. He didn't reckick the only thing in the
family laugh at her. She cannot cook rice. He didn't
recognize it as rice, so when he went back to Thailand,
he sent her a rice. She chose not to take offense.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
If that was bewitched, he would have been turned into
a donkey.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
And a new tail on him.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
I know you're a big fan of the Thermo mix.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
If I was to marry an appliance, that Germanic boyfriend
would be the Thermo. I like the Thermo Mix because
it's reliable, it's methodical, takes all the thinking out, which
some people don't like, and I like it. It is
noisy and it's big, and I can't like my the
(08:57):
air fry, which I'm also obsessed with. That's kind of noisy,
and that's also kind of big if you you need
a lot of bench space for your proper appliance boyfriends.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Has anyone thought about combining the Thermo mix with the
air fry.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
No, because the Thermo mix has been engineered to be
as simple as it can be, and probably the air
fry has too. You can, but you can, I reckon,
have the biggest air froy in history of the universe,
and you still can't cook an entire meal for a
family in it. Not the ones I sEH, unless you
like I see these American ones that have a slot
for this and a slot for that, and everyone seems
to be fed these enormous meals. I don't know how
they do it. Yeah, yeah, but in one ship at
(09:29):
a time.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
But you got to get an air fry of the
size of a kiln.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yeah, that's right, and a Thermo mix the size of Hans.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Okay, I think you've got to separate from the Thermo mixer.
It's a big cult.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Well what about you, what is what's your favorite?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
My favorite?
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Well, next to the rice cooker. I did have an
electric walk, which I was very very fond of. What happened,
All the teflons started coming out, and then the family were.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Because black stuff goes into the meal.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
You can play about cancer and all that whatever whatever.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
But it cooked so well. It cooks so well.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
I do like the idea of the you've got it
at your place. It's like a takeaway show.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yeah, plate in the middle of I have great envy
with that.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
That is a great thing.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah, we haven't used it lately because it's just easy,
just with the two of us to cook meat or
whatever it is in a fry pan. Rather than cleaning
that whole thing and having the house sting.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
I think you should start up a little tepanyaki restaurant,
you know, chop it up stuff, little love hearts of salt.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
And or exit people.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I could do that. Barley's just sitting on a woman.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I wouldn't even cook the eggs. I just throw them.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Just throw exit at your husband. That I that's all
you got to do. It's not like the kitchen whiz.
Remember the kitchen wings.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
What was a kitchen wing?
Speaker 4 (10:42):
It was a classic, that was the first one of
the food process.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah, but it had about eighteen spinning parts. Who hasn't
had a cupboard filled with graters and seven or eight
This is why the mix is good, because there's not
seven or eight parts that you attached to it. They
just aren't.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Remember we were watching Larry and Kylie Show on TV.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
In the advertorial was the slicer and dice the thing
that it goes in the box.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Maybe you are you and I.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
You looked at the TV and as quickly as you
could say, Joe the gadget man, you had me ringing
the number to buy two of.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
These and you know what, took the tip of my
finger off the second I used it.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
So the last time I had Coleslaw at.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Your every time I look at it now my bum clenchers.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
What time, I'd say, you're using it in the wrong place.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Ready, everybody here is some more Jorgy Hanam.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
That just got rve.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Diff Ready, everybody here is some more Jorgy Hadams.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I'm taking through the sweepings on the cutting room floor.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
What do you know of President William Howard taft Ooh
you heard of him?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
The American president? Yeah, not really, he was.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
He was one of those ones that sort of didn't
really do anything amazing, did he was?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
He was in between wars?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Was he was the twenty seventh president yep, nineteen oh
nine to nineteen thirteen.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Yes, so he's just he got out just before the war,
which is where you want.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
To be, which is where you want to But he's
been described as unremarkable. His presidency was uneventful. That's what
you want, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
But it's a bit like Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton had
some good times up to when.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
His time's got two good.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Well, he had a lot of.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Good times, but really he had the saxophone and all
the cool stuff, and everyone loved him.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Everyone loved him a little too much. Well, why I'm
interested in talking about William Howard Tough today is I've
seen how much he ate in a day, and I
mean every day. I'm going to take you through what
he ate every single day. Breakfast three waffles and maple syrup,
a three hundred and forty gram steak, and five cups
(12:48):
of coffee. That's breakfast.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
That's breakfast.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
We need to move on to lunch. Four lamb chops,
turtle soup made with actual turtle but muta potatoes, coffee,
five bond bonds, raspberry jelly with whipped cream, and salted almonds.
That was every lunch.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
This is lunch.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
When he dinner, Yeah, salad the salad, so that was
good with olives, cucumber, asparagus, lobster stew, roast, turkey, potato salad, peas,
a two hundred and twenty six gram steak. For dinner,
a salmon filet, and possum and tato tots made with
actual possum.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Really like potato gems as we call them here.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Probably you're missing out the bit that he ate possum. Yeah,
so with dinner. He's had steak, salmon, possum, lobster and turkey.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
You know anyone, he must crap a raaway slipper. Here's
his dessert, well he has dessert, well, a fruit plate
in coffee, so that's okay, and then a four color
cream fruit pie. And he didn't just eat this on
the big days.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
He ate this every day. He was a big guy.
Apparently when he died he was buried in a piano box.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Then he was that fat. Need a bigger boss. I
need to google this guy.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Have a picture of William Taft.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
William William you talk while I google.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Like a turtle soup sounds disgusting, Well, it's made from turtle.
It's a stewlike soup traditionally made with turtle meat, often
served in Asia and Creole cuisine. It's known for its rich,
flavorful broth and the use of a roof for thickening.
Because when you're having that, why wouldn't you want it
thick up?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
What part of the world is that from?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
From Creole? In Asia? I said, no, it's from Creole.
It's Creole cuisine. The soup can also include hard boiled
eggs and vegetables, because I don't think there's enough in.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
There is creole down in the deep Bolt South.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
It's sort of Louisiana, down by Louisiana where the alligators.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Are so mean. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
He's not eating an alligat. It's the only thing he has.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Seen that's poke Saladanni remember that song eating gotcha granny?
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Oh, there's bigs are in there, A big boombar.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
He I would imagine him to be more boombar from
more what he ate.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
He doesn't seem that large. He just looks like an
average American these days.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Well maybe, but also you know, is he hidden behind
a desk or behind a piano box because you didn't
see the reality they did. They'd had presidents that couldn't walk,
but you wouldn't know.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Yeah, which one was the one in the wheelchair.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
The Roosevelt. Whereas now someone's lactose, intolerant. We think the
world's going to end.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
There's president Well with Roosevelt.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Roosevelt, they had put the front bit of the deck
because the desk used to be able to see the
legs of the president. And then they put that bit
at the front because he was in a wheelchair. And
they didn't want anyone to see that he was a cripple.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
I saw the thing the other day with Jermaine Grier
where she was on a talk show, probably in the seventies,
and an American I think he was a politician, said
a woman could never be president because of all the
hormonal flows that she has around menstruation. And she said,
what about all these American presidents who'd been hugely unwell
(15:51):
and no one knew. And she said to this guy
on this talk show, she said, do you know if
I'm menstruating now? And he was flax he'd be asked
such a question, and she said, I rest my case.
How would you know? Shut your neck, yeah, keep your
PI hole and get buried in a piano box.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Yeah, Or have the thing in the front of the
desk or that Bill Clinton appreciated it.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
No need to remove that. Don't want anyone to see
what's going on underneath that desk. Everybody hear from on
the cutting room floor today, what have you got for us?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
You know?
Speaker 1 (16:24):
How you get to an age as an adult and
you think you know things, Yeah, and then thanks to
the Internet, we find out that we don't know much
at all.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
It sort of ruined bullshitters everywhere the old Internet, because
you go and start people bullshitters start spinning a story
and then someone starts googling it and everything. Don't ruin
it for the for these so called story or yarn tellers.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Well, this is an interesting one. This isn't a silly one.
This is this woman has said I thought I was
an idiot, and she's a university student. She said, she thought,
and I think I probably did to. I didn't think
too much about it. That urine comes from liquids in
your digestive tract. But it's actually it comes out of
your blood, does it. Yeah, So you eat food, goes
(17:10):
into your stomach, into your intestines, gets absorbed into your
intestinal walls. A large portion of that ends up being
the liquid portion of your blood. You have solids, you
bits floating around your blood, and you have liquid in
your blood. So really the part that is the liquid
in your blood I'm paraphrasing here, gets comes out as urine.
(17:30):
So all the urine that you've urinated just today was
just recently part of your liquid part of your blood.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Okay, So that makes sense if you have blood in
your urine though, what does that mean?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Break down?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
But the thing is, so I think what we thought, okay,
I think what we thought was that you drink things
and it goes to go straight and then it comes
out as the bits that aren't taken in to your
cells as energy go straight out as.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Let's go fantastic voyage. You drink water straight to your stomach.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Or eat food go straight to your stomach and then.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
But then it goes to your bladder as well, and
you and you're intestines.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah, and then you bow.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
It gets absorbed into the testinal walls into your body.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Yeah, which comes first in testines then into bow. Was
bow part of intestines?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I'm not sure I need it.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
We need our anatomical stacks.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Just except your winged blood. But don't panic.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Now here's another thing that I discovered. Okay, So that's
an influencer saying I didn't know that. Another influencer has
said that they didn't know this, that the harvest snaps
baked pea crisps, Yeah, are only proportionately pea either.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
They were pea well sixty.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Eight percent of its pea, but it's really constituted PA
with those other things that make All those snacky snacks.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Are floor sweepings, hair, all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
All that kind of stuff. This woman said, I've been
eating them for years, thinking that they were green bean
pea urus. Yeah, she said, I've been eating it. I've
been eating them for years, she said, thinking that they
were gorgeous green bean pea goodness goodness. But it wasn't
until last year I found out they're not dehydrated peas.
(19:14):
It is shaped like peas. Do you want to hear
what else I've discovered?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Look at you, you're a font.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
And this isn't about peas of any kind. If you
put one of every animal in a bag, so not
like Noah who used two. So put one of every
bags of two of every animals. If you put one
of every animal in a bag and then pick out one,
(19:39):
you have a one in five chance of it being
a beetle. There are so many beetles, and we never
saw them on Noah's Ark. They don't get the accolades
they deserve for being the rulers of the universe. Do
we hear something else?
Speaker 2 (19:49):
I'd picked John by the way, I think you know
I've read about John Lennon. He sounds like a bit
of a dick. I'm just going to come out and say, so.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Who's your faith? I've got a soft sure, but I
actually and I love George, but I have a soft
spot for a ringo.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yeah, George.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Actually, I think George is possibly the most likable of
all the beetles. Next to I think Paul and John
were a bit you know, they're difficult. But John, I'm
going to do a flip around. He was the main game.
But I've read a few books now, you know he
bashed yoga a few he did.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
It was a bit of a basher and it was
a bit of a prick.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
That should be the title of a new book. Bit
of a basher and bit of a prick.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
That's That's. That's all I've read.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Here's some new information you may not know. Let me
give you one more. T Rex lived sixty six million
of years ago. Yep, Stegosaurus. It's a mate, the stegosaurus.
You'd think mates hang around each other. They lived one
hundred and fifty five millionaire years ago. The gap between
the Rex and the stag is sixteen million years greater
(20:51):
than between the t rex and present day. So we
think that they all lived in one linear line. T
Rex says I had a stag on the way to
the factory in the morning.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
No, they were miles apart.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Age we have. We have more in common time wise
with the Rex than the Rex does with the stag.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Maybe that's why you left deb.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Oh Brendan, and you think John's a prick?
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Sorry, that was this was out there. It was out there,
you know.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I end this now, everybody.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
It's time for John and Amanda's cutting room all. Everybody,
it's time for John and Amanda's cutting room for all.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
It's the cutting room for on the cutting room floor today.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Do you remember the first time you had to pay
an electrical bill.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Or any sort of services bill.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Yeah. I moved in with a flatmate, my first flatmate,
and we were renting a television and I think an
answering machine, right, And I it was my job that
month to send the money off. And I sent cash
in the mail and a man knocks at the door
and says, you haven't paid, So I sent it off.
I sent cash in the under the post office nicked it.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
You know, how did you get to this age?
Speaker 1 (22:14):
But I was, you know, twenty one.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
I would love to hear that voicemail on the answering
machine now.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
But someone came and knocked at the door.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Yeah, that's what they used to do. You hire, purchase stuff,
remember those days.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
These days the kids just get TVs because they're so cheap,
But in the old days were quite expensive.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I always remember those bills.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
I remember my mum and dad paying bills and then
thinking how do you do that?
Speaker 2 (22:37):
How do you even work it out?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
But you know, when people talk about balancing a check book,
I still don't know what that means.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I don't know
what it means. It means you've got enough to go out, Yeah,
to match up what comes in.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Yeah, of course, are you so what you're supposed to do?
Speaker 4 (22:52):
When you wrote your check on the stub, you wrote
what it was for, and then you'd balance what's in
your account. So I'd write what's in the stub, I'd
send the check out and then just write another check,
and I wouldn't actually balance it.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I just keep writing check. Yeah, of course, and all
of a sudden I'd be overdrawn.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
Go.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I wrote it, I wrote it down, wrote it.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
That's what I was told to do. I wrote it.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Down and you know my maths it's not great, it's
not really good. There is Now in the University of Canada,
they've launched an Adulting one oh one course for students
looking to learn life's most basic time.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
We should have that in schools. You know my friend
Anita McGregor, she teaches at UNI and she has this
thing doesn't matter. She has staff that don't know how
to post letters, she has staff that don't have don't
have skills to answer a telephone. And these are post
grad students. But these are things that matter to us.
Does it matter to them? Do you have like this
(23:46):
is a debate you and I would have. Does it
matter that I don't know how to change a tire?
Speaker 4 (23:51):
I don't think about you so much not being able
to change a tire, but it's very handy in your life.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
To change a tire.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
These days of out sourcing, our skill sets are different,
and people of our generation think you have to know
all that practical stuff and we think you're missing out
on life skills if you don't. But with a changing
world where you can get other people to do these
things for you and you use your time elsewhere, do
you have to know this? Stuff. What are they teaching
(24:18):
in this class?
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Well, you can learn how to change a tire, managing
your finances, grocery shopping, keeping your laundry whites white. Really, Yeah,
things like that, how to sew, how to cook, how
to not set yourself on fire.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
It's actually a class don't set yourself on fire?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Yeah, what do you think? Oh, look, you're a practical
person and it matters to you. You often say young
people don't know anything, so you think it's important.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
It doesn't matter to me that I made myself. As
I've said before, Generation X is a very capable generation.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
So it's not here we go.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
So the generation Baby Boomers had the war and they
had cheap housing and they could do whatever the hell
they wanted. They could be absent fathers. This is the
Baby Boomer men, the Generation X people, we came along
and we said we don't want the harsh that our
fathers went through.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
So we became very capable.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
So at the same time, we could change tires, we
could wire up an extension cord, we could.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Do all that stuff. But then and we could be
present parents.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Yeah, but how then do you feel because you're then
the curmudgeons who who don't like that the next generation down.
I don't do anything.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
I only Generation X, our courmudgeons, our generation just go okay, mate,
oldest fix it.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
But you're sneery. Your generation by and large is sneery
at the capabilities of the next one down.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Yeah, because they have no capabilities.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
But doesn't matter, because they do have capabilities. Well, they
have different capabilities.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Unless you saund like someone's mother.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
It's true though, but yeah, they have They navigate the world.
They navigate a world that you don't have to navigate,
and they have a different skill set.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Our generation runs rings around them as far as just
getting stuff done.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
And then you need you just son to fix the TV.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
No, well I fixed him myself. He's got no idea.
But I've adapt to you to technology.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Like amphibious man.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
If that's what generation next to And people that listen
to this from Generation X know exactly what I'm talking about.
You know, we didn't have phones. If you've got a
flat tire, you had to change the tire yourself.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Dad, you could, of course you did.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
And because weather two, you need to today.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Because they got phones.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
So really, if they didn't have connectivity that they have now,
they would probably be capable.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
But because sure, as like.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
The weaving loom and the meal, all those things made
things easier in our lives, a mobile phone makes life
ten times more easy.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
You remember when you were a kid, you go and
look for your mates. You couldn't find them anywhere.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
You'd ride your pushbike and it's the only way you
could tell if your mates around, if their pushbikes are
in front of another mate's house.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
And then you look at the kids.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Now riding all those fat boy e bike things around, Like,
I saw this big fat kid riding this big fat
bike and I'm on my normal pushbike that I got
off a junk pile. Off your son. He's riding along,
wheezing away on a big e bike. I go next
to him, and he obviously goes quicker than me because
he's propelled by the technology.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
But I'm thinking about what's wrong. We used to ride
bikes without him. He biking.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
He is navigating a world you don't have to. There's
much more traffic now. He is facing a future of
having to marry an AI bot. They will have a
different environment and a different life to us, and we
can't see it through the prism of us or we
will never accept them.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
It's a hard luck life, isn't it for those kids?
Speaker 1 (27:39):
I love that you're so capable. You've irritated me. Now
let's end this.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
I'm as capable as anything.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Make me a cup of teen.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
You want something done, you get a generation exitter, do it.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Matt's twenty five plus eight. So call your son. I'll
call your son.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
Well, he won't answer his phone, and I need to
to prove some sort of point by you.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
You don't even know what twenty five times are.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
But I'm not banging on about how brilliant I am
and no one else is.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
I never said the words I'm brilliant.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
I just said Generation X is a very capable generation.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Why are you getting a better out of shape? You're
part of that.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
I don't like this generational talk because I think it
means the older generation and the younger generation they look
at you and think you're an old fart, and you
look at them and think they're idiots. And somewhere in
the midst of that the reality life.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
We were raised with corporal punishment, lead paint, asbestos, no
helmets for push bikes. Pushbikes I didn't have motors in them.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Were raised. It all was.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Boring trope in the world, and kids today are in
a very different world that is very hard to navigate.
Go and lick your paint, Brendan when you get home
and enjoy yourself.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Let's have an appealothon for them. Actually, that probably is
