Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's sousy and dumb man does funny.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
It's totty.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Cutting.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
How do you think you'd go in the modern dating world, Brendan,
Where your old habits, your bad manners, all that kind
(00:39):
of stuff.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
People don't always like that stuff.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
What are you talking about? I reckon I would slay?
Do you think I would? I've got impeccable eating habits.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
I can say that I've got impeccable table manners.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I'm a charming guest.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
What do you make of this?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
A woman, she's twenty five years old. She ghosted a guy.
She was at dinner with him. She walked out on
the first date within minutes of arriving. So she goes it.
She gets all dressed up to go to this first
date with this guy and they sit at the table,
they're about to eat their meal, and she has said,
this is a quote from her not kidding. I just
left a date because the man took out his retainer
(01:21):
at the table. She said the string of saliva hanging
from his mouth made her gag. She said, he didn't
give me a warning her heads up, took them out,
sloppily followed them into a dinner. Napkin to me that
shows he has bad manners and no self awareness. I
said I was going to the bathroom. I left in
an uber. Once I left, I texted him saying I
wasn't interested. And he has reached out to her a
(01:43):
few times and she still hasn't told him why she'd
ran away.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
She just has led it. She's just ghosted him now.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
But wouldn't he have the wherewithal to think, well, what
did I Where did I go wrong? If I forensically
drilled down on this? Okay, so I got the gal
the fratulance, what did I do?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I've got?
Speaker 3 (02:00):
You know?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Was it taking the retainer out? Wouldn't he have self
awareness to say that was the reason.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
But maybe he's had them for so long he's forgotten
that that's gross.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
That is gross.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
It is gross, And the people that have them know
what to do. You go to the bathroom to take
them out, or you pretend to get something out of
your bag and you take it out. There's a thousand
ways you can or you can say, do you mind,
I've just got to take my retainer out?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Look over there?
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Whatever it is particular on a first date, I had
braces when I was younger, and everyone a lot of
people at school had the same thing, and you'd have
those elastic bands around them, and half the time the
teachers were trying to dodge because every time you tried
to open your mouth, they'd be ping, pinking, pin pin.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
And maybe people are.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
So used to this retainer stuff they don't realize that
that's not good table man.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Because you don't see the kids with the braces and
the rubber bands anymore, do you.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
No, No, we took it.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
I can I just say a rank story about my
brother used to do so. He had that he used
to wear the head gear. Remember the head gear. It
was like so they put put two metal things on
the back molars, like a date surround the tooth, and
the head gear were attached to that.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
So you'd only wear that at night.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And so what happened the metal things
on his back teeth. He'd be able to pull them off.
You're not supposed to, but they it was like a
sleeve on the tooth. But he'd bring it out and
I'd be seeing just watching the TV, and you go, hey,
briand I go.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
I smell this and okay, and he'd always he'd always
go hey, hey, Brian, I go, what, and you go
and you it was.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
It's I can't breathe, I can't breathe. Did he ever
do that on a date?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
No?
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Remember that time I saw this footage. A woman was
in I'm not sure she was in an Asian country
and she said, this is what my d is doing.
And they're eating there at a noodle bar and she's
fooling him and he's sucking up the noodles through his nose.
He's got them in with chopsticks and he's putting them
into his nose and they're going in and she's just going.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
What level of horror? Is this?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Still not as bad as what your brother? But it's
like those men that go on those dating websites. A
friend of mine, she's a beautiful girl and she's a
great person, and the men her age are on those
dating sites pose in their undies holding a fish, or
(04:40):
they'll be sitting on the toilet with a thumbs up. Guys,
get it together, seriously, get it together. There's this trope
that girls are so hard to please these days. Guys,
that's not true.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Just try a little bit hard, make a bit of effort.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Go to the bathroom, take out your retainer there, don't
pull it out on the table.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
And don't pose for a profile with so arrogant that
you think you with your seventy year old body in
a pair of underes holding a fish, she's going to
do it?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
What sort of fish you go? If you date him?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Here, smell this? No thanks?
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Yes, well, it was sad to hear about. James Earl
Jones is passing. The distinguished actor and voice of Darth Vader.
He passed away at the age of ninety three.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
His voice has been the through line of some of
our most famous films over the years.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Yeah, Darth Vader. He played more Faster in The Lion King.
He played in The Dad in Coming to America, one
of those great roles. He also was in Field of Dreams.
He had some great, great movies. We caught up with
James Earl Jones. He was in town back in twenty
thirteen for Arriving Miss Daisy was a stage play and
(06:02):
he played the driver and Angela Lansbury was Miss Daisy.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I went Sarah. It was an extraordinary night. It was great.
That chat we had with James L.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Jones was fantastic and I think we should revisit it
to pay homage to the lake great James L.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Jones.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
James L.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Jones has been called one of the greatest actors in
American history, winning a Tony Award, a Golden Globe, Emmy's
an Academy Award in his fifty plus year career.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
What an an underachiever.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
He's in Sydney performing and driving Miss Daisy and he
joins us this morning, James L.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Jones.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Hello, heh do we call you James or James Earl?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
What's your first name?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
From the Mertons South? And we all have three names
down there and the two given names not to bad names.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
So you're James L.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
James.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Will you're I feel like just getting you to read
the phone book for me with your beautiful, beautiful voice.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I was surprised to hear.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
That, are you talking to me? James beautiful?
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Actually, James, you've actually got quite a deep voice. But
next to James L. You sound like a squeaky I.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Sound like a like Assis now next to a seven
four seven.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
But James, oh, you had a stutter when you were
a child.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I'm still a teller, yeah really, but I work hard
to work around it and use it and trying to
be as clear as.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I can has been a performer.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Helped absolutely. It is saved me. I think I wouldn't
say saved my life because I was not about off
being a mute. I was listening a lot and learning
a lot. But the idea that the world is full
of great words and then and created by great thinkers,
the idea that I could say those words things I
would never have imagine. It's very appealing to me. It
(08:00):
was as a child, and now that I can, I
can say I do plays written by great authors, like
the one we're doing now and Driving This Daisy, your role.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
As Darth Vader, it's still so incredible.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
When you were asked to do the voice, did you
imagine that it was It would resonate for so long.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
None of us did, but we did the second at episode.
We didn't know how to recapture what we had done,
so we decided to keep it as simple as possible,
and that was the key.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Really, you've never used the voice for evil, like ringing
out a pizza or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I don't own the voice. George Lucas owns the voice.
So I can't go on a talk show and its
dark Vader. I must always pigue it myself.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
But what about in your private moments? Say you know,
like no, I.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Once use it as a CD andle back in the
days when if you're driving great distances at night you
use a CD radio citizens band. Well, I used Darth
Vader as my handle picked truck drivers out, so that
stopped doing it er.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
The role of Darth Vader was played by actor David Prowse.
Did they set out to use his voice but change
their mind?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Well, you see, David has a particlar accent and it
was I think more of a tenor voice than a
bass voice. So they had to search around for a
base and they thought of using Austin Wells, but thought
he'd be too recognizable. So they picked this guy who
was born in Mississippi and raised in Michigan who had
a stutter, And that was me.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
That's pretty cool. Well, you've hoped for people like me.
That means that something could happen for me.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
James, Well, there's.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Do you think they might be a chance they might
be making coming to America too? Maybe there could be
a role for me in that.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
I could be the white sun of this.
Speaker 6 (10:09):
It's the cunning room for yeah, yeah, yeah, it's self
and Amanda's.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Tunning room for There's been much to do about the
dad bot, hasn't there.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Were you happy with the advent of the dad bod
because what the dad bod says is that women go
for about you know, Chris Hemsworth. But in reality, a
dad bod is something that women are very comfortable with
and that women in a way lust after, because we're
not just the visual creatures that men are. Personality comfort
(10:43):
men who understand us. Those are so high on the
list that a dad bod plus all the rest of
that stuff is a very nice package.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Well, Chris, when you look at by definition as a
father and he's got a bit of.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
A dad bod, not many people share that board with him.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Well, they talk to Elsa.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
She won't allow it.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
Else, I won't let that happen. I've always had, you know,
a layer over my abdominal.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Area, there a layer of fat. More or less.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
You're not a fat guy anymore.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
I'm not a fat guy. But I don't have I
don't have abs. I don't have those, you know, the
whole definition.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
And if you starved yourself and exercised every day, like
if you did that, the cover of the Men's Health.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Came the agents one time, said would you go on
the car, you know, the Men's health thing, we'll do
the transformation.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Did you say no?
Speaker 5 (11:30):
And I just said, well, what's the work involved? I said,
you've got to not drink beer anymore and just eat
chicken breasts for six weeks. They looked at my exercise
regime and they said, well, it's pretty good. You do
a lot of like a paddle every day. I do
a lot of paddling.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
So what they were saying is we can't get you
to be the cover guy because you're doing all the work,
but it's still not happening.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Yes, if I suddenly just started eating seeds and chicken,
then that's what would happen.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I'd lose that weight.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
But losing the weight's one thing. Losing the weight is
one thing, But it's sculpting the body that's another. Because
men are now doing something called ab etching, and this
is a surgical procedure. It's high definition LiPo according to
plastic surgeons. So lipersuction can remove fat. But what this
does is it gives you that six pack, and the
(12:21):
V lines down the side sculpts. It doesn't just remove
the fat. It sculpts it into the shape and not
just the illusion of the actual shape of those ads.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Those flanky bits, flanky bits. Do you like the flanky bits?
Speaker 5 (12:35):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Where?
Speaker 4 (12:35):
I read books about the flanky bits? I like it,
but I don't seek it out in real life.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Because you'd be a bit of a widow go around
seeing out flanky bits.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
But what they're saying is it's interesting now that more
men are having this kind of surgery because social media
influences men and women are making it more acceptable for
men to have procedures.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Are the mayor of Geelong with the crazy hair and
the pictures of Princess Diane are dead in a car?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Any safe?
Speaker 3 (13:04):
What's his name, Darren Lions.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
I did a story with him in his home once,
and he has in his kitchen a life size statue
of a woman with no pants on, just bending over.
It looked like one of those plastic bag dispensers. That's
not how it was being's you.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Pull the bags out.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Well, he wasn't using it handy, but for filming purposes,
I had to put a tea towler.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Did you really did?
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Why is she winking at me?
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I don't know? About graphic sort of sculptures.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
In the kitchen or anywhere. I'm not into that stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
He's a quirky guy.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
He had lots of taxidomy and unusual things, but he
loved his community so much he ended up being mayor.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
As you say, But now he lives up north. What
does in cans?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Did he take it with him? Or because it's a
selling point in the kitchen, did he take that?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Sorry, he took the SCO sculpture. Surely I might have
a look on gum.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Treef it's there anyway to him, he got the liper
section on his stomach, and a lot of people thought
that he had abdominal muscles inserted, but there actual abdominal muscle.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Does it give you the illusion of like a teenage
ninja turtle?
Speaker 2 (14:16):
He looks like a teenage ninja turtle turtle.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
Very hard to say when you're jazzed about a sexually
explicit sculpture.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Brittan, get out of the kitchen. What are you cooking
up in there?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
What's happening there?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Would you ever if you had to have something done,
what would you have done?
Speaker 5 (14:33):
I would probably get a bit of liposuction around the guts.
I've never been happy with it because I've always just
carried a bit of weight there. I would, you know,
and maybe get it right down to some like e Pop.
You know, he probably looks like a stocking full of walnuts.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
He's always been that though.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
But he's dick and ribs like a greyhound.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
But he's not aspirational in that way. He's not like
a Chris Hemsworth.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
He's not even a you look at Hemsey though. He
has to do a lot of efforts. There's a lot
of seeds, there's a lot of chicken, and.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Say with Hugh Jackman, and when they're in the off
season of happened to bow up condition? Well or they
lose condition, they just look like normal men.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yeah, so you got to it's a hard road to hoe.
Once you start working.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Out, or once you join Marvel.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
You're okay, how long have I got to imagine the
phone call someone's had great news, someone's dropped out of.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
A major film. You're starting tomorrow. It's a Marvel film.
You go, Oh, where other lax it is?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I'd like to be the thing. Remember they got Michael
Chicklers to do the thing. He was the thing.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
What shape did the thing?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
That was a fantastic four. It was that big rock thing.
It's clover in time, you know.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
So that's I was thinking of thing from Adam's family.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
And imagine getting that call. Great role for you. You're
got to be loved your audition. What am I? At
the very least I could be Uncle Festa. That's that's hard.
You're going to be the thing. You're just the hand
that runs around.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
But so important you hold the whole thing together.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
I saw what you did there.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Nice yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You used to wear a
fit bit.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I love my fit bit. What do you use it for?
Just to see my telemetry? I love telemetry when I'm watching.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
The Bathurst V eight so I like to see when
they put all the screens on the screen and you're
watching the cargo through the gears and all that sort
of stuff.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
So does it your fit bit tell you all your
fitness dots and it goes to your phone and how
fen do you look at it?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:34):
You want to see like say, for example, let me
just indulge me for a minute. They Amanda, I'm glad
you asked. I'll just go to my fitbit app. So
for example, right now, I had six hours and six
minutes of sleep.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
That's not much exercising days two of five this week.
I hang on, I did exercise on Monday.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Go you're fighting with your fitbit and.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
My heart right now is beating at sey one beats
per minute.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
I show you this picture of Jennifer Hawkins.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
How my resting heart beat is fifty four.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
I have a Apple I watch thing, and I'm a
slave to it. I don't look at the results on
the phone. I just look at my watch and see
how many steps I've done. I'm just obsessed with st
I've seen you yelling at your watch very much so
because it'll say time to move, and I think I
can't move right now, thank you. I'm playing musical chess,
(17:34):
so I have a And also I might go to
the gym and I'll forget to take it and I'll go,
what is the entire point of being?
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Why am I here?
Speaker 4 (17:42):
I'm only doing it to impress my watch. Well, the
reason I bring this up is that there's such a
thing called Strava. This is where it's a fitness app
where people upload like you do with your fitbit, onto
your own phone, but it keeps your stats of your
fitness levels how many steps.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Rather you share that with other people can and you
can probably.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I don't do that.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
You can with all of these You can have a
group of friends you share it with. You can see
how you're competitive with people around the world. If you
want to blah blah blah. Well, what's happened now is
people who are taking all this stuff very seriously are
paying others to do the run for them and upload
the info.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Yeah, it started in Indonesia.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Some young guys started doing it and it thought it
to be a joke, and more and more people were
asking him to do it, and now it's become a thing.
It's like air tasker for your fitness. I've sometimes that
I'm walking with a dog or she's running around like
a fool. Not as much now because she's getting older.
I've wanted to put my fitbit on her and let
the steps count for mine. But I'd noticed that my
(18:43):
gate had changed slightly and I was sniffing bums.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Now that sounds like a man and me.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Tag it out of the Greyhound track of Mini because
also those apps record all kinds of unusual activity.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Well, remember Ripper Murdoch a fitbit app, and I don't
know if this is an urban myth or not, but
it's worth talking about.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
And all the family were.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
The kids and Rupert and then wife Jerry Hall were
all gathered in on the same fing.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Well, you'd want to see how fit Rupert was, because
I think is today the day?
Speaker 5 (19:15):
And anyway, well, he is pretty fit because apparently at
nine o'clock at night there was regular activity at nine
o'clock each night for how long for the prescribed time?
Speaker 2 (19:26):
About five minutes?
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Prescribed time. That'll do you, jes five.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Minutes is all right? So all the kids were okay, Dad,
there's probably enough of that to.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Take doubt off the app.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Let's get off the app. Yeah, I'm pretty impressed with
that Ruber. He's an old fellow. He's doing all right.
I'm suddenly not getting that action. You look at my fit.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Helen asked some guy in Indonesia to take care of.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Well, mine's flatlining it.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Yes, then.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
It's jos cut. Are you ready for.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
This is just Amanda warming up before the cutting room floor.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
I'm ready.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Hello, Hello, hello, cutting room four. What's on it?
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Well, let's talk about the fact that Taylor Swift has
endorsed Karmala Harris.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
A bold, bold move because I've noticed, if anything, Trump
supporters are very dogged about their support of Donald Trump.
Any alternative, and you're some sort of woke lefty who
wants migrants to live in your house and eat.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Or your ducks.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Well, they already think Taylor Swift is a woke lifty
So she's got nothing to lose by endorsing Karmala Harris.
The thing, in America, we have compulsory voting. Here they don't,
and so someone liking Trump, someone liking Karmala Harris isn't
enough to get them to vote. You have to turn
fan into voters. You have to actually activate them to
(21:03):
get out of their houses. They vote during the week.
They don't even have a weekend voting system, and so
it's actually harder in terrible weather conditions, all of that,
to get people to leave their houses to vote during
the week when they're trying to work and all the
rest of it. So it's not easy to convert people
who have a vague interest in who runs the country
into actual voters. But that's what Taylor Swift has done.
(21:25):
That's what's interesting about this. So this is what Taylor
Swift has said. Part of what she said, is I
think she's steady handed, a gifted leader, and I believe
we can accomplish so much more in this country if
we're led by calm and not chaos, with love and hope.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Taylor Swift childless cat Lady.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
She's talking about Chi's cat ladies because this is what
Trump's running mate j d Vance has said. The world's
going to be on by Childers's cat ladies if Carmla
Harris gets her hands on it. So, more than three
hundred and thirty seven thousand people have clicked on the
voter registration link that Taylor Swift put when she tweeted that.
(22:01):
So she's put up a voter link on her socials
and more than three hundred and thirty seven thousand people
have registered to vote, because not only do you have
to turn up to vote, you have to register to
vote a number of steps before you get to the
volume like wester to vote he had. That's right, but
it is compulsory. There there are a number of steps
to get through to convert people to being voters. So
(22:23):
that's extraordinary. Do you know how how many social media
followers Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Has have a guess Ah, it's like a two million,
five hundred and.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Fifty point five million. WHOA, that's how many followers Taylor
Swift has just googled it, five hundred and fifty point
five don't forget them million followers. So the power of
that woman maybe turn an election, maybe not, but the
power of her endorsement is quite extraordinary. Elon Musk who's
(22:52):
been moving further and further right and in some people's eyes,
kind of bonkers.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Actually he's becoming.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
He's in Trump's pock but he's been responding very strangely
to a variety of things. Here's what he said about
Taylor Swift. He has said, fine, Taylor, you win, I'll
give you a child and guard your cats with my life.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
This is a man twice her.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Age saying I'll give you a child and guard your
cats with my life. People are saying, it's weird, it's bizarre,
it's just unusual.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yeah, it's a Obviously he's joking. Is he joking?
Speaker 4 (23:29):
He's the joke meaning, i'll give you a child, you
won't be childless anymore. But what a rude thing to
say to a powerful young woman, What a dumb thing
to say to a powerful young woman. Do you know
who's one of the people who's commented on this. Well,
actually I saw a tweet and I was hoping it
was real as her boyfriend Travis Kelcey, and it said
you may not know this, but I'm college educated.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
I have a degree. Elon.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
You like to think I'm a bit of an idiot,
but I can turn you into a pretzel. Sadly, it
wasn't real.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
That bit wasn't real.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Elon Musk's tweet is real, eel, but his isn't. But
a number of people have come out, one of whom
is Elon Musk's own estranged daughter.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
She's a transgender child.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Yeah, and they said yes, I saw the tweet, and
hilariously they have said tweet because it's now known as X.
I saw quote the tweet. I don't really have anything
to add to it. It's just a borrand.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
That much is obvious and if you don't see how,
then you're part of the problem.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
So this is why Elon Musk hates the trans is
because his daughter is one. I always thought that if
you had a transgender member in your family, you might
be a bit more sympathetic to that, But then it
might be those things when someone comes home and said
you were you know, they're gay and the parents turn
their back on them.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Or maybe he was anti trans before his daughter transitioned.
Maybe they transitioned in light of his comments. You just
don't know what order of events that was. Yeah, but
Elon Musk, who you know. I remember we've spoken before
on the show about this. How I used to waste
I wasted a crush on Hilon Musk years ago.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
He was so scientifically interesting. He was pushing the boundaries.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
He's looking at ways to store solar power in batteries.
He had electric cars. I thought, what an interesting man,
and now I think, what a nut job. I've wasted
a crush on him. It's like someone I know how
to crush on, Boris Johnson. I'm went, oh my god,
what a wasted crush. That was a wasted, wasted crush.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
The crazy cat ladies of the world have made their choice.
It's sousy and dumb man does funny.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
It's totty.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Cutting.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
How do you think you'd go in the modern dating world, Brendan,
Where your old habits, your bad manners, all that kind
(00:39):
of stuff.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
People don't always like that stuff.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
What are you talking about? I reckon I would slay?
Do you think I would? I've got impeccable eating habits.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
I can say that I've got impeccable table manners.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I'm a charming guest.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
What do you make of this?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
A woman, she's twenty five years old. She ghosted a guy.
She was at dinner with him. She walked out on
the first date within minutes of arriving. So she goes it.
She gets all dressed up to go to this first
date with this guy and they sit at the table,
they're about to eat their meal, and she has said,
this is a quote from her not kidding. I just
left a date because the man took out his retainer
(01:21):
at the table. She said the string of saliva hanging
from his mouth made her gag. She said, he didn't
give me a warning her heads up, took them out,
sloppily followed them into a dinner. Napkin to me that
shows he has bad manners and no self awareness. I
said I was going to the bathroom. I left in
an uber. Once I left, I texted him saying I
wasn't interested. And he has reached out to her a
(01:43):
few times and she still hasn't told him why she'd
ran away.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
She just has led it. She's just ghosted him now.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
But wouldn't he have the wherewithal to think, well, what
did I Where did I go wrong? If I forensically
drilled down on this? Okay, so I got the gal
the fratulance, what did I do?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I've got?
Speaker 3 (02:00):
You know?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Was it taking the retainer out? Wouldn't he have self
awareness to say that was the reason.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
But maybe he's had them for so long he's forgotten
that that's gross.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
That is gross.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
It is gross, And the people that have them know
what to do. You go to the bathroom to take
them out, or you pretend to get something out of
your bag and you take it out. There's a thousand
ways you can or you can say, do you mind,
I've just got to take my retainer out?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Look over there?
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Whatever it is particular on a first date, I had
braces when I was younger, and everyone a lot of
people at school had the same thing, and you'd have
those elastic bands around them, and half the time the
teachers were trying to dodge because every time you tried
to open your mouth, they'd be ping, pinking, pin pin.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
And maybe people are.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
So used to this retainer stuff they don't realize that
that's not good table man.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Because you don't see the kids with the braces and
the rubber bands anymore, do you.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
No, No, we took it.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
I can I just say a rank story about my
brother used to do so. He had that he used
to wear the head gear. Remember the head gear. It
was like so they put put two metal things on
the back molars, like a date surround the tooth, and
the head gear were attached to that.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
So you'd only wear that at night.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And so what happened the metal things
on his back teeth. He'd be able to pull them off.
You're not supposed to, but they it was like a
sleeve on the tooth. But he'd bring it out and
I'd be seeing just watching the TV, and you go, hey,
briand I go.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
I smell this and okay, and he'd always he'd always
go hey, hey, Brian, I go, what, and you go
and you it was.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
It's I can't breathe, I can't breathe. Did he ever
do that on a date?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
No?
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Remember that time I saw this footage. A woman was
in I'm not sure she was in an Asian country
and she said, this is what my d is doing.
And they're eating there at a noodle bar and she's
fooling him and he's sucking up the noodles through his nose.
He's got them in with chopsticks and he's putting them
into his nose and they're going in and she's just going.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
What level of horror? Is this?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Still not as bad as what your brother? But it's
like those men that go on those dating websites. A
friend of mine, she's a beautiful girl and she's a
great person, and the men her age are on those
dating sites pose in their undies holding a fish, or
(04:40):
they'll be sitting on the toilet with a thumbs up. Guys,
get it together, seriously, get it together. There's this trope
that girls are so hard to please these days. Guys,
that's not true.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Just try a little bit hard, make a bit of effort.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Go to the bathroom, take out your retainer there, don't
pull it out on the table.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
And don't pose for a profile with so arrogant that
you think you with your seventy year old body in
a pair of underes holding a fish, she's going to
do it?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
What sort of fish you go? If you date him?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Here, smell this? No thanks?
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Yes, well, it was sad to hear about. James Earl
Jones is passing. The distinguished actor and voice of Darth Vader.
He passed away at the age of ninety three.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
His voice has been the through line of some of
our most famous films over the years.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Yeah, Darth Vader. He played more Faster in The Lion King.
He played in The Dad in Coming to America, one
of those great roles. He also was in Field of Dreams.
He had some great, great movies. We caught up with
James Earl Jones. He was in town back in twenty
thirteen for Arriving Miss Daisy was a stage play and
(06:02):
he played the driver and Angela Lansbury was Miss Daisy.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I went Sarah. It was an extraordinary night. It was great.
That chat we had with James L.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Jones was fantastic and I think we should revisit it
to pay homage to the lake great James L.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Jones.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
James L.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Jones has been called one of the greatest actors in
American history, winning a Tony Award, a Golden Globe, Emmy's
an Academy Award in his fifty plus year career.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
What an an underachiever.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
He's in Sydney performing and driving Miss Daisy and he
joins us this morning, James L.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Jones.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Hello, heh do we call you James or James Earl?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
What's your first name?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
From the Mertons South? And we all have three names
down there and the two given names not to bad names.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
So you're James L.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
James.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Will you're I feel like just getting you to read
the phone book for me with your beautiful, beautiful voice.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I was surprised to hear.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
That, are you talking to me? James beautiful?
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Actually, James, you've actually got quite a deep voice. But
next to James L. You sound like a squeaky I.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Sound like a like Assis now next to a seven
four seven.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
But James, oh, you had a stutter when you were
a child.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I'm still a teller, yeah really, but I work hard
to work around it and use it and trying to
be as clear as.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I can has been a performer.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Helped absolutely. It is saved me. I think I wouldn't
say saved my life because I was not about off
being a mute. I was listening a lot and learning
a lot. But the idea that the world is full
of great words and then and created by great thinkers,
the idea that I could say those words things I
would never have imagine. It's very appealing to me. It
(08:00):
was as a child, and now that I can, I
can say I do plays written by great authors, like
the one we're doing now and Driving This Daisy, your role.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
As Darth Vader, it's still so incredible.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
When you were asked to do the voice, did you
imagine that it was It would resonate for so long.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
None of us did, but we did the second at episode.
We didn't know how to recapture what we had done,
so we decided to keep it as simple as possible,
and that was the key.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Really, you've never used the voice for evil, like ringing
out a pizza or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I don't own the voice. George Lucas owns the voice.
So I can't go on a talk show and its
dark Vader. I must always pigue it myself.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
But what about in your private moments? Say you know,
like no, I.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Once use it as a CD andle back in the
days when if you're driving great distances at night you
use a CD radio citizens band. Well, I used Darth
Vader as my handle picked truck drivers out, so that
stopped doing it er.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
The role of Darth Vader was played by actor David Prowse.
Did they set out to use his voice but change
their mind?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Well, you see, David has a particlar accent and it
was I think more of a tenor voice than a
bass voice. So they had to search around for a
base and they thought of using Austin Wells, but thought
he'd be too recognizable. So they picked this guy who
was born in Mississippi and raised in Michigan who had
a stutter, And that was me.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
That's pretty cool. Well, you've hoped for people like me.
That means that something could happen for me.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
James, Well, there's.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Do you think they might be a chance they might
be making coming to America too? Maybe there could be
a role for me in that.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
I could be the white sun of this.
Speaker 6 (10:09):
It's the cunning room for yeah, yeah, yeah, it's self
and Amanda's.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Tunning room for There's been much to do about the
dad bot, hasn't there.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Were you happy with the advent of the dad bod
because what the dad bod says is that women go
for about you know, Chris Hemsworth. But in reality, a
dad bod is something that women are very comfortable with
and that women in a way lust after, because we're
not just the visual creatures that men are. Personality comfort
(10:43):
men who understand us. Those are so high on the
list that a dad bod plus all the rest of
that stuff is a very nice package.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Well, Chris, when you look at by definition as a
father and he's got a bit of.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
A dad bod, not many people share that board with him.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Well, they talk to Elsa.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
She won't allow it.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
Else, I won't let that happen. I've always had, you know,
a layer over my abdominal.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Area, there a layer of fat. More or less.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
You're not a fat guy anymore.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
I'm not a fat guy. But I don't have I
don't have abs. I don't have those, you know, the
whole definition.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
And if you starved yourself and exercised every day, like
if you did that, the cover of the Men's Health.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Came the agents one time, said would you go on
the car, you know, the Men's health thing, we'll do
the transformation.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Did you say no?
Speaker 5 (11:30):
And I just said, well, what's the work involved? I said,
you've got to not drink beer anymore and just eat
chicken breasts for six weeks. They looked at my exercise
regime and they said, well, it's pretty good. You do
a lot of like a paddle every day. I do
a lot of paddling.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
So what they were saying is we can't get you
to be the cover guy because you're doing all the work,
but it's still not happening.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Yes, if I suddenly just started eating seeds and chicken,
then that's what would happen.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I'd lose that weight.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
But losing the weight's one thing. Losing the weight is
one thing, But it's sculpting the body that's another. Because
men are now doing something called ab etching, and this
is a surgical procedure. It's high definition LiPo according to
plastic surgeons. So lipersuction can remove fat. But what this
does is it gives you that six pack, and the
(12:21):
V lines down the side sculpts. It doesn't just remove
the fat. It sculpts it into the shape and not
just the illusion of the actual shape of those ads.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Those flanky bits, flanky bits. Do you like the flanky bits?
Speaker 5 (12:35):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Where?
Speaker 4 (12:35):
I read books about the flanky bits? I like it,
but I don't seek it out in real life.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Because you'd be a bit of a widow go around
seeing out flanky bits.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
But what they're saying is it's interesting now that more
men are having this kind of surgery because social media
influences men and women are making it more acceptable for
men to have procedures.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Are the mayor of Geelong with the crazy hair and
the pictures of Princess Diane are dead in a car?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Any safe?
Speaker 3 (13:04):
What's his name, Darren Lions.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
I did a story with him in his home once,
and he has in his kitchen a life size statue
of a woman with no pants on, just bending over.
It looked like one of those plastic bag dispensers. That's
not how it was being's you.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Pull the bags out.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Well, he wasn't using it handy, but for filming purposes,
I had to put a tea towler.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Did you really did?
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Why is she winking at me?
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I don't know? About graphic sort of sculptures.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
In the kitchen or anywhere. I'm not into that stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
He's a quirky guy.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
He had lots of taxidomy and unusual things, but he
loved his community so much he ended up being mayor.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
As you say, But now he lives up north. What
does in cans?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Did he take it with him? Or because it's a
selling point in the kitchen, did he take that?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Sorry, he took the SCO sculpture. Surely I might have
a look on gum.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Treef it's there anyway to him, he got the liper
section on his stomach, and a lot of people thought
that he had abdominal muscles inserted, but there actual abdominal muscle.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Does it give you the illusion of like a teenage
ninja turtle?
Speaker 2 (14:16):
He looks like a teenage ninja turtle turtle.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
Very hard to say when you're jazzed about a sexually
explicit sculpture.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Brittan, get out of the kitchen. What are you cooking
up in there?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
What's happening there?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Would you ever if you had to have something done,
what would you have done?
Speaker 5 (14:33):
I would probably get a bit of liposuction around the guts.
I've never been happy with it because I've always just
carried a bit of weight there. I would, you know,
and maybe get it right down to some like e Pop.
You know, he probably looks like a stocking full of walnuts.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
He's always been that though.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
But he's dick and ribs like a greyhound.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
But he's not aspirational in that way. He's not like
a Chris Hemsworth.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
He's not even a you look at Hemsey though. He
has to do a lot of efforts. There's a lot
of seeds, there's a lot of chicken, and.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Say with Hugh Jackman, and when they're in the off
season of happened to bow up condition? Well or they
lose condition, they just look like normal men.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yeah, so you got to it's a hard road to hoe.
Once you start working.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Out, or once you join Marvel.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
You're okay, how long have I got to imagine the
phone call someone's had great news, someone's dropped out of.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
A major film. You're starting tomorrow. It's a Marvel film.
You go, Oh, where other lax it is?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I'd like to be the thing. Remember they got Michael
Chicklers to do the thing. He was the thing.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
What shape did the thing?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
That was a fantastic four. It was that big rock thing.
It's clover in time, you know.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
So that's I was thinking of thing from Adam's family.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
And imagine getting that call. Great role for you. You're
got to be loved your audition. What am I? At
the very least I could be Uncle Festa. That's that's hard.
You're going to be the thing. You're just the hand
that runs around.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
But so important you hold the whole thing together.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
I saw what you did there.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Nice yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You used to wear a
fit bit.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I love my fit bit. What do you use it for?
Just to see my telemetry? I love telemetry when I'm watching.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
The Bathurst V eight so I like to see when
they put all the screens on the screen and you're
watching the cargo through the gears and all that sort
of stuff.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
So does it your fit bit tell you all your
fitness dots and it goes to your phone and how
fen do you look at it?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:34):
You want to see like say, for example, let me
just indulge me for a minute. They Amanda, I'm glad
you asked. I'll just go to my fitbit app. So
for example, right now, I had six hours and six
minutes of sleep.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
That's not much exercising days two of five this week.
I hang on, I did exercise on Monday.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Go you're fighting with your fitbit and.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
My heart right now is beating at sey one beats
per minute.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
I show you this picture of Jennifer Hawkins.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
How my resting heart beat is fifty four.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
I have a Apple I watch thing, and I'm a
slave to it. I don't look at the results on
the phone. I just look at my watch and see
how many steps I've done. I'm just obsessed with st
I've seen you yelling at your watch very much so
because it'll say time to move, and I think I
can't move right now, thank you. I'm playing musical chess,
(17:34):
so I have a And also I might go to
the gym and I'll forget to take it and I'll go,
what is the entire point of being?
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Why am I here?
Speaker 4 (17:42):
I'm only doing it to impress my watch. Well, the
reason I bring this up is that there's such a
thing called Strava. This is where it's a fitness app
where people upload like you do with your fitbit, onto
your own phone, but it keeps your stats of your
fitness levels how many steps.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Rather you share that with other people can and you
can probably.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I don't do that.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
You can with all of these You can have a
group of friends you share it with. You can see
how you're competitive with people around the world. If you
want to blah blah blah. Well, what's happened now is
people who are taking all this stuff very seriously are
paying others to do the run for them and upload
the info.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Yeah, it started in Indonesia.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Some young guys started doing it and it thought it
to be a joke, and more and more people were
asking him to do it, and now it's become a thing.
It's like air tasker for your fitness. I've sometimes that
I'm walking with a dog or she's running around like
a fool. Not as much now because she's getting older.
I've wanted to put my fitbit on her and let
the steps count for mine. But I'd noticed that my
(18:43):
gate had changed slightly and I was sniffing bums.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Now that sounds like a man and me.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Tag it out of the Greyhound track of Mini because
also those apps record all kinds of unusual activity.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Well, remember Ripper Murdoch a fitbit app, and I don't
know if this is an urban myth or not, but
it's worth talking about.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
And all the family were.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
The kids and Rupert and then wife Jerry Hall were
all gathered in on the same fing.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Well, you'd want to see how fit Rupert was, because
I think is today the day?
Speaker 5 (19:15):
And anyway, well, he is pretty fit because apparently at
nine o'clock at night there was regular activity at nine
o'clock each night for how long for the prescribed time?
Speaker 2 (19:26):
About five minutes?
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Prescribed time. That'll do you, jes five.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Minutes is all right? So all the kids were okay, Dad,
there's probably enough of that to.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Take doubt off the app.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Let's get off the app. Yeah, I'm pretty impressed with
that Ruber. He's an old fellow. He's doing all right.
I'm suddenly not getting that action. You look at my fit.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Helen asked some guy in Indonesia to take care of.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Well, mine's flatlining it.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Yes, then.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
It's jos cut. Are you ready for.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
This is just Amanda warming up before the cutting room floor.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
I'm ready.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Hello, Hello, hello, cutting room four. What's on it?
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Well, let's talk about the fact that Taylor Swift has
endorsed Karmala Harris.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
A bold, bold move because I've noticed, if anything, Trump
supporters are very dogged about their support of Donald Trump.
Any alternative, and you're some sort of woke lefty who
wants migrants to live in your house and eat.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Or your ducks.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Well, they already think Taylor Swift is a woke lifty
So she's got nothing to lose by endorsing Karmala Harris.
The thing, in America, we have compulsory voting. Here they don't,
and so someone liking Trump, someone liking Karmala Harris isn't
enough to get them to vote. You have to turn
fan into voters. You have to actually activate them to
(21:03):
get out of their houses. They vote during the week.
They don't even have a weekend voting system, and so
it's actually harder in terrible weather conditions, all of that,
to get people to leave their houses to vote during
the week when they're trying to work and all the
rest of it. So it's not easy to convert people
who have a vague interest in who runs the country
into actual voters. But that's what Taylor Swift has done.
(21:25):
That's what's interesting about this. So this is what Taylor
Swift has said. Part of what she said, is I
think she's steady handed, a gifted leader, and I believe
we can accomplish so much more in this country if
we're led by calm and not chaos, with love and hope.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Taylor Swift childless cat Lady.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
She's talking about Chi's cat ladies because this is what
Trump's running mate j d Vance has said. The world's
going to be on by Childers's cat ladies if Carmla
Harris gets her hands on it. So, more than three
hundred and thirty seven thousand people have clicked on the
voter registration link that Taylor Swift put when she tweeted that.
(22:01):
So she's put up a voter link on her socials
and more than three hundred and thirty seven thousand people
have registered to vote, because not only do you have
to turn up to vote, you have to register to
vote a number of steps before you get to the
volume like wester to vote he had. That's right, but
it is compulsory. There there are a number of steps
to get through to convert people to being voters. So
(22:23):
that's extraordinary. Do you know how how many social media
followers Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Has have a guess Ah, it's like a two million,
five hundred and.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Fifty point five million. WHOA, that's how many followers Taylor
Swift has just googled it, five hundred and fifty point
five don't forget them million followers. So the power of
that woman maybe turn an election, maybe not, but the
power of her endorsement is quite extraordinary. Elon Musk who's
(22:52):
been moving further and further right and in some people's eyes,
kind of bonkers.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Actually he's becoming.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
He's in Trump's pock but he's been responding very strangely
to a variety of things. Here's what he said about
Taylor Swift. He has said, fine, Taylor, you win, I'll
give you a child and guard your cats with my life.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
This is a man twice her.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Age saying I'll give you a child and guard your
cats with my life. People are saying, it's weird, it's bizarre,
it's just unusual.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yeah, it's a Obviously he's joking. Is he joking?
Speaker 4 (23:29):
He's the joke meaning, i'll give you a child, you
won't be childless anymore. But what a rude thing to
say to a powerful young woman, What a dumb thing
to say to a powerful young woman. Do you know
who's one of the people who's commented on this. Well,
actually I saw a tweet and I was hoping it
was real as her boyfriend Travis Kelcey, and it said
you may not know this, but I'm college educated.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
I have a degree. Elon.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
You like to think I'm a bit of an idiot,
but I can turn you into a pretzel. Sadly, it
wasn't real.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
That bit wasn't real.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Elon Musk's tweet is real, eel, but his isn't. But
a number of people have come out, one of whom
is Elon Musk's own estranged daughter.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
She's a transgender child.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Yeah, and they said yes, I saw the tweet, and
hilariously they have said tweet because it's now known as X.
I saw quote the tweet. I don't really have anything
to add to it. It's just a borrand.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
That much is obvious and if you don't see how,
then you're part of the problem.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
So this is why Elon Musk hates the trans is
because his daughter is one. I always thought that if
you had a transgender member in your family, you might
be a bit more sympathetic to that, But then it
might be those things when someone comes home and said
you were you know, they're gay and the parents turn
their back on them.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Or maybe he was anti trans before his daughter transitioned.
Maybe they transitioned in light of his comments. You just
don't know what order of events that was. Yeah, but
Elon Musk, who you know. I remember we've spoken before
on the show about this. How I used to waste
I wasted a crush on Hilon Musk years ago.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
He was so scientifically interesting. He was pushing the boundaries.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
He's looking at ways to store solar power in batteries.
He had electric cars. I thought, what an interesting man,
and now I think, what a nut job. I've wasted
a crush on him. It's like someone I know how
to crush on, Boris Johnson. I'm went, oh my god,
what a wasted crush. That was a wasted, wasted crush.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
The crazy cat ladies of the world have made their choice.
