Speaker 3 (00:17):
App on the cutting room floor. I don't suppose you
saw that sickening scene at the NASCAR race with that
(00:38):
the brightest youngest star in NASCAR, young Connor Zillish, was celebrating.
He got out of his car when he won the race,
and he's so so stoked that he'd won. And as
he's standing on the riff, he's stumbled and his foot's
got stuck in the open window of the car.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
And he's fallen face first onto the concrete.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
I knocked himself out. It was very hard to watch
the whole crowd going, oh my god. He looked like
he looked like he could be dead. He's not dead.
He collar bone.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
But you know, there is a it's so just a
thing with that when you're celebrating. You know, Frank Sinatra
said it, that's life. That's what people see. You're riding
high in April and shut down in me.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Who sees that?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
That's Frank Sinatra.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Let's keep it that way. Oh, you're a brave man
to take on Frank Sinatra.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Well, you know, I'm just saying that, what a metaphor
for life.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Just when you're you're celebrating one day cock of the walk,
next day a feather duster.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, be careful, like if you went.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Out to tennis, don't jump over the net.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Well, it's funny you mentioned that many years ago when
I was playing tennis, I jumped the net and book
straight on the old shoppers.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Really break my front tooth.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
And because you, if anything I did in life very
quickly was grow teeth, so I had a full set
of adult teeth by the time I was nine. Unfortunately
for me, because I knocked out that front adult tooth,
I had to get like an implant in in.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
My front tooth.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Really, yeah, I thought I knew everything about you, but
your teeth. Until recent years you had weird two front teeth.
Was one of those faces.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
One of them was half a tooth because I knocked
it out jumping the net, not jumping a net, no
jumping the net, and had to go and get gentle
surgery and they put a pin in there. And then
if you look at our early promotional pictures, that big
you know, I may husee his teeth look like an osmond.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
You said you looked like a jack o lantern.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
I did.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I was dreadful, dreadful, dreadful choppers and one.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Of them was fake. So how come you got such
bad ones if they were fake?
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Well, because it was back in the seventies. They didn't
have good teeth back then.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
So they tried to mimic everyone else's teeth. Yes, you
said you took in a photo, Chad Morgan, you said,
I want to look like that.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I want to eat an apple through a tennis racket.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Well, let tennis go. It wasn't your friend. And so
did you jump the net because you'd won a tennis match?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
No, not a lotter.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I don't believe.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I had never won, the game had never started.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I just jumped straight over the net before it had
even started, because I've seen I'd seen tennis players on.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
TV doing it. Right, how I thought, how hard is that?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Well, apparently very hard.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
John you could used to jump the net, but he
had longer legs than me, and he just bounded straight across.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
It is and probably a course for celebration because he'd won.
You let any of those things go.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
So I just walked out of the corner on theirs
and net. I'm going to go and jump it.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Did you know what happened?
Speaker 3 (03:41):
But it taught me a great thing in life. Well,
whenever I went have a win, I don't go crazy
with the celebration.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Well, you're very lucky that you haven't had to worry
about that. No.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
No, I've been breathed of wins since.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Actually, very lucky that you're mediocre.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I did even win back then.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
What about you? Have you ever won anything and you've
had cause to celebrate.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
No. I do remember going up onto a stage at
school where we all were given out netball trophies, and
I spun the disc on it and very loudly off
and then we're all standing there and we all had
to file off. But my friend said, next to me,
jump off, jump off, So I jumped off the edge
of the stage and then they all filed off to
(04:21):
the other side.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
So you were the only one that jumped off.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, And I just had stood there sentinel, hoping that
the world would swallow me up. Anything in those days
that you did breathing in and that was embarrassing. Anything
you did that was that made a noise, that made
you look different. Anyone looking at you.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
It was all just embarrassing, and you had your netpull
skirt on as well.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I presume, well, yes, it didn't float up. I wasn't like,
you know, Marilyn Monroe over the grate and no one said.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Great, did you have to hand those legs the end
of the season.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I handed them in and it was never the library
ran out. I never got them again. Elbert Furston took
them there. She ran off with them.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
So I think the lesson of all of this if
we celebrate a win, perhaps, you know, just keep it,
keep it nice.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Well, what lesson have you learned? You weren't even winning.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
But I was like, oh, nine years of age, Come on,
you can't shame me for that.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I haven't wont anything since. As you entist being a
woman and all, you're not a big fan of me.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
You that girl there being a woman and all, you're
not a big fan of practical judge. I'm presuming largely
I don't have much tolerance for practical jokes.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
And I would imagine I'm a man.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
It's usually the domain of men, though, isn't it. Why
do you think that is?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
I just think that's what guys do. You don't get
attention or get affection whatever. They just think it's funny.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Get affection from pranks, pranks. No woman likes to be pranked,
and I don't think many women do pranks. Yeah, so
I don't know who you're looking for affection from.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Well, it's just attention. I think all around, it's just attention.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
You might as well walk down the street with a
big bass going pay attention to me.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
That's Do you like pranks?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
No, No, I couldn't.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I appreciate them, But if someone pulls a prank on me,
I couldn't be bothered doing the reciprocal prank.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
So I probably set myself up a bit. I just
couldn't be bothered.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
And then if I pull a prank on someone, I
don't want to worry about the retribution prank.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Well, if I see someone doing a prank on somebody,
I just have to say it's a prank. It's a prank.
I can't bear to watch it play out as a
struggle to watch it player.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
As a younger man, I have pulled a few pranks.
I remember a maid of mine. He's a follow broadcaster
big Tone Maroon. Many years ago, we were working at
a radio station and I put on the front number
plate he have this big get out of town V
eight Commodore, big Hooney V eight Commodo on his number plate.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I made a number plate that.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Looked exactly like his number plate and just I'm gay.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
So I just said I'm gay.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I am gay, and I put it on there on
the front number plate and didn't think about it for months,
like literally two months, and then one day he comes
to the studio.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
This face of red, red, red face, angry as what
did he cop? And he he said, how long has
this been on my card? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
And I'd completely forgotten and I went, what completely because
it's been so long, And he said, so you didn't
do it. I went no, No, I don't know who
did it. Yes, sorry mate, and walked down.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Was that the end of it?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Well, yeah, but it had been on his car for
probably about two to three months.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I reckon he's.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Driving a new day one. Didn't you get in trouble
years ago at the radio station for a prank that
was misinterpreted? Which one was that where you left a
note on a car?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Oh? That was here? Yeah, yeah that was But that
wasn't a prank.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
That was I had a a Ron Wilson, who's a newsreader.
He put on my helmet, my motorcycle helmet a post
it note and said I'm a wanker on the post
and I looked high art, so you know, he was
a ride home with I'm a wanker on my helm
and I said, I don't need to advertise anyway. I
(08:19):
said to my co host Kayley at the time, I said,
good thing, I noticed this, and she looked at it
and she went, mmm, oh that's funny.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
And then her car was parked right next to my motorbike.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
So I got the sticker posted and just put it
on her window because I'd just shown her the I'm
a wanker thing.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Anyway. Some like months later, Grand.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Skipper Louis, who used to just do bits throut the
radio station, was going through all these security tapes.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
I went post his office and he had these security tapes.
What are you doing or John's I can't say.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
It's a big, top secret, top secret, and I said,
come on, let me tell me. And someone has been
bullying Kelly, someone has been stalking Kelley. And I'm like, really, who,
what's been going on? Lou I can't say, come on,
lou tell me, And he said someone's been sticking your
on her car and I went.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Oh, really, what who Who's been doing it? And he said,
I said, what did the notes say? I can't tell you, Judsey,
I said, I just tell me someone put I am
a wanker on her car and I went, that was me.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
A couple of months ago. I showed her she knows.
And then I went up to I say, Kaylie, you don't.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Story is diabolically strained.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I showed you that sigh. I showed you and what
he were goldfish. Anyway, Aside from that, I know I've
given two examples of how I do practical days, but
I don't like them. Although I will say this is
possibly the greatest prank ever.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
You know, poor lu Louse, Yes you see him on
building sides, have a listen to this.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Two years ago, my buddy Jack wrote on a porter
party and permanent marker, send me pictures of your poop.
I want to see it, and then my cell phone number.
And that week, when, as you imagined, I'd say six
or seven picks morning of just I mean, this is
blue collar construction worker shits. That went on for about
(10:15):
a month or so of just constant pictures, which again hilarious.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
But you can't. You can only block one number. That's
the thing.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
So every morning it's unstoppble because you're getting texts from
different numbers. You can't stop it unless you find the
porta potty and erase it. Two years later, I get
a text this morning. I thought maybe the girl I
love got a new number. Wanted to reply picture of
a fresh loaf. But this, this is an unstopped This
(10:49):
will last day lifetime. This is an unstoppable prank that.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Is brilliant because it's on the It's on the as
the Americans called it, the part of Patty, and that
will get shipped around everywhere and.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
People will think some weirdo wants to see this or
show them.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Yeah, I noticed in the Man's litt hit it says
for a good time cole a manner, it's got your number.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
You had any calls who.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Put that up? Did you recognize my writing?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
But have you had any calls? Everybody hear a fun
bore of cutting cool floor ready at a party near
a fun law of man's parting run down on the
(11:36):
cutting room floor today, news of Drake.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Well, it's a collab that Drake has done with a jeweler,
and it's not for sale, Michael Hill, this is gold
Man Rest in Peace.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Well, yeah, well you could have a posthumous co lab.
I'm sure Michael I'd appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Well, this is a thing that he has done as
a one off. It's not for sale. It's just for him.
I'm going to show you a photo of it. It
looks like the kind of necklace you'd see in Breakfast
at Tiffany's or in those heist movies where there's a
beautiful center piece and they're all trying to steal it.
It is a necklace that has a whole stack of
beautifully crafted diamonds, like I'll tell you how many there are.
(12:14):
There's forty two, and their engagement ring diamonds. I'll tell
you the story of what this piece is.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
It would look nice on like the swan like neck
of Audrey Hepburn or something like.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, if you've got a fatter neck
like you seem to think I have. You said I
once had an athletic neck, it would sit a little
higher because my neck would be wider.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I never said you had a fat neck. I said,
do you have an athletic a swimmer's neck. It's a
good neck. It's not like Nigel Manson.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Swimmer necks don't look like Naomi Campbell, do they. A
swimmer has a thicker neck, and that's what you were referring.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
I just said that to you in two thousand and four,
and all I said was you.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Have Adelaide legs and a swimmer's neck. You can't deny
you said the words.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I didn't realize your legs were recipple as and when
I saw them one day, all above board by the
way I saw them, and I went, well, I didn't
realize that you had such good legs because at the
time I was trying to get a motorcycle off me
that had followed on my leg and you were there
helping me get the motorbike and your howk hiked up
(13:23):
your skirt and there were your legs, and I.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Went, look at those legs I didn't and that provided
me secure from being crushed by the motorcycle or so your.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Strength around my neck area, well, you managed to lift
that bike off with a neck just with your arms,
and you did it.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I'm not sure how we got to this, but let's
go back to this spot.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
We started at the bottom. Now we're here, drake.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
The necklace is called Previous Engagements and it has forty
two engagement ring diamonds, big richie ones. Have a look. Whoa,
they're not your diamond set memento. These are big fat solitaires.
And this is anyway the video. I'll tell you what
the history of this is. But it's got three nundred
(14:08):
and fifty one point thirty eight carrots of diamonds mounted
in eighty one K white gold. Whatever all of that
means eighteen carrot gold. Yes, that's what that would mean.
Eighty one k, eighty one thousand white gold.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
There's a video showing different angles of the stunning piece,
with a voiceover describing the process and the meaning behind it,
Bordering the impossible. An expedition spanning fourteen months, every diamond
hands selected, inspected to only suit perfection. So then has
all these close ups of these forty two diamonds. This
(14:41):
monumental art piece was assembled using three five to one
point three eight carrots blah blah blah blah, eighty one
k each stone, meticulously set utilizing the eagle claw technique.
Previous Engagements. For all the times he thought about it,
but never did.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Oh, I never did of that A.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
True wonder of the jewelry world. So this is what
the jewels represent. Forty two engagement ring diamonds forty two
times his thought about proposing but didn't. And that's what
this is about, right, Like is he trying to plant
it into a noose that he's escaped not marrying. I
don't understand what it is. Forty eight possibilities. Yep, that's
(15:23):
what it's called previous engagements. He didn't actually get engaged
where he thought about it but never did. How how
many jewels would be on your thought about it?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
That never did necklace about engagements? Oh well, just just
the one I only thought about it one.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yes, most people don't think forty two times that you're
going to get engaged and not.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
If it was something else like sex, I'd be like mister.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
T am pretty to fool too much thinking, not enough action.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
There's always the way.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Yeah, so your wife says, why am I getting this
long string of pearls pearl necklace? I was waiting for
you to say it. So anyway, that's not for sale.
It's just one that's been put up there that Drake
has made for himself every time he meets someone. If
he's going, do you want flybys with that? I'd like
to marry you. So who knows who these women are.
(16:13):
There's no more to the story than what I've just
told you.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Enjoy, well done, told the man does cutting up on
the cutting room floor. Have you ever wanted to scale
Mount Everest?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
No, I've done a story for beyond two thousand, a
series of stories in the Himalia, as I like to say,
in the Himalayas. But I flew in via helicopter. I
didn't do any trekking. Even walking up to my room
at the end of the evening was out of breath.
I have no interest. So in climbing Everest with.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
The helicopter, where did you go? You didn't go to
the top of Mount Everest?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
No, no, no, no, we didn't go to that. No,
I'm saying. We flew into the Himalayas and we did
some stories with some people and some echo stuff we
were doing there. But no, I didn't go to the
top of Everest.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
It's a story that's come out right now people, and
it's sort of eco tourism. People climbing Mount Everest and
twenty twenty five has been the biggest ever year for
people scaling Mount Everest, and the big thing is the Nepalese.
They make a lot of money out of this. But
other people say it's time to respect the mountain. And
when you look at those pictures of queues of three
(17:24):
hundred people waiting to summit, but I kind of have
empathy for those people, whoever they might be.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
They've all tried to get up there.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
And you'll, like, imagine two hundred and ninety eight in
the queue of three hundred and all of a sudden
the weather closes, came so close to getting to Everest.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Well, it's a shrpa who has posted these pictures saying,
come on, this only serves short term pride. You're putting
immense pressure on our sacred mountain. This is a Shirpa
saying it's time to reflect. We must pause and reconsider
how we approach Everest, not just for ourselves, but for
the mountain's future. But you're right when you look at
that when someone has a photo taken at the top
(17:59):
of the mountain, it's them and those incredible mountain peaks
behind them. It looks like you're the only person in
the world. But from this angle, you see two hundred
and fifty people snaking up that mountain in the freezing cold,
waiting their turn. And as you say, they're all looking
at the weather closing in, or looking at the day
closing in, the darkness coming. They're thinking, my god, I've
(18:19):
come all this way and I may not get my photo.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I may not get my photo. But what do people expect?
A gift shop up the top there.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
It's a little bit like a rite of passage. And
I think I'm right in saying that more men do
this than women. It's like Kakoda, this is the midlife
test yourself.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Yeah, well, what.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
About that guy that his wife wanted to do it?
They both went up there, they got to near the summit,
she died and he had to leave her up there. Cripes,
he didn't even want to go on this thing. What
about Meg in the prod pod that's the producer's pod, Meg,
who had no interest in scaling Everest and her dad
wanted to go to base camp as a bit of
(18:58):
a bucket list thing.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
So he's the one that's doing all the training.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
She trained with him.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Meg vapes on the quarter hour Yah and as it
turns out Dad ends up getting altitudes altitudes sick, has
to go to a police hospital. Mega ends up at
Base cam by yourself doing selfie fingers.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
That's a cruel mystery.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
You have a feeling that you need to test yourself.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Nah, Now I test myself every day by riding a
motorcycle into work. That's the length of testing that I need.
And I'm not a fan of the Third World. To
be frank, I don't need to travel to the Third World.
I can see pictures of it.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
You want to get enlightened with a beer.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Yeah, I want to go to places like Greece is
as about third World as I will go.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
You want a flushing toilet, yeah, well Greece.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
In Greece, if you don't know this, when you do
a pooh, you've got to put your toilet paper in
a bin next to the toilet.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Because they're plumbing system.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
They didn't you know, they might have come up with philosophy,
but they didn't come up with plumbing like the Romans did.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Don't point that out to them. They get a bit
upset about it.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
But nonetheless, philosophy or do you want plumbing? You can't
have both.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I want to flush my toilet paper.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I want to rip out the works of Plato and
flush them down the toilet.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
So that's it, instead of my travels.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
I know that you want to go and eat some
seeds sitting cross legged by some Buddhist talks to you.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
I'm not interested.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
I'm not interested in that.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
You know.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
My fantasy is about living in a Tuscan, in a
Tuscan village and taking cooking classes and slicing tomatoes and
serving food on enormous platters. That's what I'd like you.
When you say you have sliced Italians, I said that
to shock here what you did.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I was shocked. I'm not wearing the dormy a grin anymore.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
And curlion, it's jarzyns cullium.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Are you ready for more? On the cutting room floor today,
it's all about Calvin Harris.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Calvin Harris, this is Calvin Harris. He is a singer
song out of producer DJ.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Well.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
I'm a DJ, not a very creative one.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
I don't think Calvin does time calls.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
This?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Then why don't you just because Jewel Leeper.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
It's like someone who stands in front of wild famous
painting paintings and says, I can do that.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Oh, I can do that. Why Why where's my ticket
tape parade? That's him and Katie.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Katie who Katy Perry anyway, Calvin Harris, he has had
a baby. His wife's had a baby just recently.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
What's his wife's name.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
His wife name is Vicky or Vick. She's a I
think she's on BBC one radio. She's a DJ, well,
old school DJ. I think if you're going to talk
about her being an on air radio personality, maybe.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
She should say it's six twenty six. Here's John Farner.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Maybe she should then she'd be as cool as you.
But they've had a baby, and he's a series of
photos have been released, the first of him sitting on
a couch holding this little baby, this newborn. It's beautiful,
and he said, twentieth of July, our boy arrived. Micah
is here. My wife is a superhero. I'm in complete
(22:28):
awe of her primal wisdom. We're just so grateful, Love
you so much, Micah. Beautiful first dad stuff. But there's
a four or five other photos. That's the only one
of the actual baby. Yeah, there's another photo of his wife.
You can't see really what's going on? But you see
a baby's head being born in a blow up pool.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
She had a haimberth.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Yeah, so the baby's emerging in a blow up pool.
The next one, and people have been confronted by this
because they said I saw it without warning. There should
be an age restriction, and in fact they've now put
age restrictions on this photos. It's just a giant close
up of the placenta.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
And then the next one are bits of placenter chopped
up like bits of sausage in what looks like an
air fryer, not an air fryer, and a dehydrator.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Mushroom lady, anyone.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
This is where we've all heard about the dehydrator. So
there's a placenter, an air dryer, dehumidifier, whatever that thing's called.
And then the finished product product, which is him holding
a jar of will look like licorice bullets, but they're
capsules of the dried placenta. They're eating the placenta. I
(23:42):
knew of someone years ago who wanted to eat the placenter,
and I thought, why didn't you just go to the butcher,
because this seems like a good idea. If you've given
birth on the nulla ballplane. You don't have access to
if it's starving today, any iron don't have access to
any things like this. But I've been doing some research
and this is a big business. This is a really
big business. They're saying that eating the placenta, and I'm
(24:05):
sure this is true, can boost your immunity, help with
you bloods, help with your mental health. Really, the global
placenta market, there's astrase I never thought i'd say.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
But psychologically, I suppose in a way you feel that, oh,
I'm eating.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
This that nurtured my child and now it's nourishing me.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Yeah, so maybe there's a bit of a psychosomatic and
also seebo effect.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
You're swallowing a capsule, you're not eating it like a steak.
The global placenta market was valued at this is American
dollars nearly ninety million dollars in twenty twenty five. It's
projected to reach US dollars nearly one hundred million by
twenty thirty three. It's been growing at a huge rate,
so it's interesting. There's a whole lot of placenta derived
(24:51):
product products. People make artworks out of them. Stem cell
therapies regenerative medicines. A lot of stuff that medically is
going to come from this. But what you can do,
even Australia, if you this is quite a big business.
You can arrange this beforehand. You pay money for when
you know you're giving birth. For the hospital, the midwives
(25:13):
know that this is a thing you've set up. The
company will come to the hospital, the midwife will hand
over your placenta and process it and do this for
you so you don't have to buy the dehydrator, do
the capsules, and buy a capsule machine and hire all
the equipment. You can outsource this and it's a very
well run operation. What you're pulling a face?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
And do you know you're getting your placenta?
Speaker 1 (25:38):
They tell, well, that's that's fair. You know there are
checks and balances saying how do you know you're getting
your own baby at the end.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Of the day.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
There are ways to test this stuff and the hospital
would be responsible around this.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
There's a bit of a fervor that goes with when
the baby is born, particularly the first one. I remember
when Morgan, how oldest was born. My wife held thirty
years ago, had a massive placenta.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
How do you know it was massive. Well, because I
was there, I was, but maybe they're all.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
The doc said to me, he said, this is a
shoe huge plus center and it was like one point
two kilos of placenta and we both had our hands
and he does, look out bigger, look how healthy that
placenta is. And then he told me that you know
you can eat them. There are a lot of people
in certain cultures to eat the placenta.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
And I went, well, you could have chopped that up
for a whole lot of While I like the size
of it, I'm very competitive.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
I would have manted it on the wall or put
it down as a throw rug or something like that.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
It would have been the same size as the baby.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
It was.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
It was bigger than Morgan. A part of me was thinking,
you know, maybe we should leave the.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Kid behind it and dress this up, dressed this little lash.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
But he was a beautiful, beautiful baby. You got the
perfect app G score, you know, the little he got.
He got all nines.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
It was like he did a Nadia Common each when
he came out. He was such a beautiful little baby.
But that placenta was so huge. And I remember at
the time, this is before social media and all that junk.
I was telling anyone who'd care to listen about the
size of Helen's placenta. You should have seen the placenta.
It was this big, and in the storytelling it got
like a fisherman.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Yeah, did you mount it above your bar?
Speaker 2 (27:14):
I wanted to put it about.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
I want to turn into one of those singing you know,
instead really pass singing the songs.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Oh, I don't know. I'm happy to work this out.
You know what would it be?
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Something about blood? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Yeah, maybe maybe he's something about blood or providing life Burcher.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Now that I'm out, Now that I'm out.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
You know I'm coming up, So you better get this
party started. You know, these are all good ideas. So
there is a sort of a there is that further,
when you have your first child, and.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
When Romani was born, you didn't think about it.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
She came out like a lifeless, dead slug because your
mother had an addiction to not an addiction, what on
an addiction?
Speaker 2 (27:57):
She had a what do you call it?
Speaker 3 (27:58):
An allergy to pithode not an addiction to it, and
they gave her the pithodine.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Little Rome came out, this little lifeless slug. They have
to give her knah can. That's why they give the
junkies when they take much help.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Were you tempted to take that percent of home instead
of the blue baby?
Speaker 3 (28:12):
I remember looking at Helen, and Helen didn't look good
because of the aforementioned Panthodene and Romany came out and
I was wondering down the corridors with her and the
guy that was counting down how long she hadn't been
breathing for and he looked at me and said, who
are you as I'm the father, and his attitude instantly changed.
He went from business like doctor to a functory, but
(28:35):
at the same type, very warm doctor. And so what
we're doing with your daughter now is we're giving her
some nahcan. So they injected that into a little foot
into that movie Cocoon. When the old time has touched
people and that little pink glow goes through them, that's
what it was.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Now full time has touched people, are get arrested. I
love our chats.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
That's it. I'm back tomorrow for more John's and a
man who's cutting the room floor.
My Heart podcasts. Here more gold won on one point
seven podcasts.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Playlists and listen live on the Free iHeart.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
App on the cutting room floor. I don't suppose you
saw that sickening scene at the NASCAR race with that
(00:38):
the brightest youngest star in NASCAR, young Connor Zillish, was celebrating.
He got out of his car when he won the race,
and he's so so stoked that he'd won. And as
he's standing on the riff, he's stumbled and his foot's
got stuck in the open window of the car.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
And he's fallen face first onto the concrete.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
I knocked himself out. It was very hard to watch
the whole crowd going, oh my god. He looked like
he looked like he could be dead. He's not dead.
He collar bone.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
But you know, there is a it's so just a
thing with that when you're celebrating. You know, Frank Sinatra
said it, that's life. That's what people see. You're riding
high in April and shut down in me.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Who sees that?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
That's Frank Sinatra.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Let's keep it that way. Oh, you're a brave man
to take on Frank Sinatra.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Well, you know, I'm just saying that, what a metaphor
for life.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Just when you're you're celebrating one day cock of the walk,
next day a feather duster.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, be careful, like if you went.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Out to tennis, don't jump over the net.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Well, it's funny you mentioned that many years ago when
I was playing tennis, I jumped the net and book
straight on the old shoppers.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Really break my front tooth.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
And because you, if anything I did in life very
quickly was grow teeth, so I had a full set
of adult teeth by the time I was nine. Unfortunately
for me, because I knocked out that front adult tooth,
I had to get like an implant in in.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
My front tooth.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Really, yeah, I thought I knew everything about you, but
your teeth. Until recent years you had weird two front teeth.
Was one of those faces.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
One of them was half a tooth because I knocked
it out jumping the net, not jumping a net, no
jumping the net, and had to go and get gentle
surgery and they put a pin in there. And then
if you look at our early promotional pictures, that big
you know, I may husee his teeth look like an osmond.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
You said you looked like a jack o lantern.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
I did.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I was dreadful, dreadful, dreadful choppers and one.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Of them was fake. So how come you got such
bad ones if they were fake?
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Well, because it was back in the seventies. They didn't
have good teeth back then.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
So they tried to mimic everyone else's teeth. Yes, you
said you took in a photo, Chad Morgan, you said,
I want to look like that.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I want to eat an apple through a tennis racket.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Well, let tennis go. It wasn't your friend. And so
did you jump the net because you'd won a tennis match?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
No, not a lotter.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I don't believe.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I had never won, the game had never started.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I just jumped straight over the net before it had
even started, because I've seen I'd seen tennis players on.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
TV doing it. Right, how I thought, how hard is that?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Well, apparently very hard.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
John you could used to jump the net, but he
had longer legs than me, and he just bounded straight across.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
It is and probably a course for celebration because he'd won.
You let any of those things go.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
So I just walked out of the corner on theirs
and net. I'm going to go and jump it.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Did you know what happened?
Speaker 3 (03:41):
But it taught me a great thing in life. Well,
whenever I went have a win, I don't go crazy
with the celebration.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Well, you're very lucky that you haven't had to worry
about that. No.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
No, I've been breathed of wins since.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Actually, very lucky that you're mediocre.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I did even win back then.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
What about you? Have you ever won anything and you've
had cause to celebrate.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
No. I do remember going up onto a stage at
school where we all were given out netball trophies, and
I spun the disc on it and very loudly off
and then we're all standing there and we all had
to file off. But my friend said, next to me,
jump off, jump off, So I jumped off the edge
of the stage and then they all filed off to
(04:21):
the other side.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
So you were the only one that jumped off.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, And I just had stood there sentinel, hoping that
the world would swallow me up. Anything in those days
that you did breathing in and that was embarrassing. Anything
you did that was that made a noise, that made
you look different. Anyone looking at you.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
It was all just embarrassing, and you had your netpull
skirt on as well.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I presume, well, yes, it didn't float up. I wasn't like,
you know, Marilyn Monroe over the grate and no one said.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Great, did you have to hand those legs the end
of the season.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I handed them in and it was never the library
ran out. I never got them again. Elbert Furston took
them there. She ran off with them.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
So I think the lesson of all of this if
we celebrate a win, perhaps, you know, just keep it,
keep it nice.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Well, what lesson have you learned? You weren't even winning.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
But I was like, oh, nine years of age, Come on,
you can't shame me for that.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I haven't wont anything since. As you entist being a
woman and all, you're not a big fan of me.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
You that girl there being a woman and all, you're
not a big fan of practical judge. I'm presuming largely
I don't have much tolerance for practical jokes.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
And I would imagine I'm a man.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
It's usually the domain of men, though, isn't it. Why
do you think that is?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
I just think that's what guys do. You don't get
attention or get affection whatever. They just think it's funny.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Get affection from pranks, pranks. No woman likes to be pranked,
and I don't think many women do pranks. Yeah, so
I don't know who you're looking for affection from.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Well, it's just attention. I think all around, it's just attention.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
You might as well walk down the street with a
big bass going pay attention to me.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
That's Do you like pranks?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
No, No, I couldn't.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I appreciate them, But if someone pulls a prank on me,
I couldn't be bothered doing the reciprocal prank.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
So I probably set myself up a bit. I just
couldn't be bothered.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
And then if I pull a prank on someone, I
don't want to worry about the retribution prank.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Well, if I see someone doing a prank on somebody,
I just have to say it's a prank. It's a prank.
I can't bear to watch it play out as a
struggle to watch it player.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
As a younger man, I have pulled a few pranks.
I remember a maid of mine. He's a follow broadcaster
big Tone Maroon. Many years ago, we were working at
a radio station and I put on the front number
plate he have this big get out of town V
eight Commodore, big Hooney V eight Commodo on his number plate.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I made a number plate that.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Looked exactly like his number plate and just I'm gay.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
So I just said I'm gay.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I am gay, and I put it on there on
the front number plate and didn't think about it for months,
like literally two months, and then one day he comes
to the studio.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
This face of red, red, red face, angry as what
did he cop? And he he said, how long has
this been on my card? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
And I'd completely forgotten and I went, what completely because
it's been so long, And he said, so you didn't
do it. I went no, No, I don't know who
did it. Yes, sorry mate, and walked down.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Was that the end of it?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Well, yeah, but it had been on his car for
probably about two to three months.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I reckon he's.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Driving a new day one. Didn't you get in trouble
years ago at the radio station for a prank that
was misinterpreted? Which one was that where you left a
note on a car?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Oh? That was here? Yeah, yeah that was But that
wasn't a prank.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
That was I had a a Ron Wilson, who's a newsreader.
He put on my helmet, my motorcycle helmet a post
it note and said I'm a wanker on the post
and I looked high art, so you know, he was
a ride home with I'm a wanker on my helm
and I said, I don't need to advertise anyway. I
(08:19):
said to my co host Kayley at the time, I said,
good thing, I noticed this, and she looked at it
and she went, mmm, oh that's funny.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
And then her car was parked right next to my motorbike.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
So I got the sticker posted and just put it
on her window because I'd just shown her the I'm
a wanker thing.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Anyway. Some like months later, Grand.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Skipper Louis, who used to just do bits throut the
radio station, was going through all these security tapes.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
I went post his office and he had these security tapes.
What are you doing or John's I can't say.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
It's a big, top secret, top secret, and I said,
come on, let me tell me. And someone has been
bullying Kelly, someone has been stalking Kelley. And I'm like, really, who,
what's been going on? Lou I can't say, come on,
lou tell me, And he said someone's been sticking your
on her car and I went.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Oh, really, what who Who's been doing it? And he said,
I said, what did the notes say? I can't tell you, Judsey,
I said, I just tell me someone put I am
a wanker on her car and I went, that was me.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
A couple of months ago. I showed her she knows.
And then I went up to I say, Kaylie, you don't.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Story is diabolically strained.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I showed you that sigh. I showed you and what
he were goldfish. Anyway, Aside from that, I know I've
given two examples of how I do practical days, but
I don't like them. Although I will say this is
possibly the greatest prank ever.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
You know, poor lu Louse, Yes you see him on
building sides, have a listen to this.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Two years ago, my buddy Jack wrote on a porter
party and permanent marker, send me pictures of your poop.
I want to see it, and then my cell phone number.
And that week, when, as you imagined, I'd say six
or seven picks morning of just I mean, this is
blue collar construction worker shits. That went on for about
(10:15):
a month or so of just constant pictures, which again hilarious.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
But you can't. You can only block one number. That's
the thing.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
So every morning it's unstoppble because you're getting texts from
different numbers. You can't stop it unless you find the
porta potty and erase it. Two years later, I get
a text this morning. I thought maybe the girl I
love got a new number. Wanted to reply picture of
a fresh loaf. But this, this is an unstopped This
(10:49):
will last day lifetime. This is an unstoppable prank that.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Is brilliant because it's on the It's on the as
the Americans called it, the part of Patty, and that
will get shipped around everywhere and.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
People will think some weirdo wants to see this or
show them.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Yeah, I noticed in the Man's litt hit it says
for a good time cole a manner, it's got your number.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
You had any calls who.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Put that up? Did you recognize my writing?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
But have you had any calls? Everybody hear a fun
bore of cutting cool floor ready at a party near
a fun law of man's parting run down on the
(11:36):
cutting room floor today, news of Drake.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Well, it's a collab that Drake has done with a jeweler,
and it's not for sale, Michael Hill, this is gold
Man Rest in Peace.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Well, yeah, well you could have a posthumous co lab.
I'm sure Michael I'd appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Well, this is a thing that he has done as
a one off. It's not for sale. It's just for him.
I'm going to show you a photo of it. It
looks like the kind of necklace you'd see in Breakfast
at Tiffany's or in those heist movies where there's a
beautiful center piece and they're all trying to steal it.
It is a necklace that has a whole stack of
beautifully crafted diamonds, like I'll tell you how many there are.
(12:14):
There's forty two, and their engagement ring diamonds. I'll tell
you the story of what this piece is.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
It would look nice on like the swan like neck
of Audrey Hepburn or something like.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, if you've got a fatter neck
like you seem to think I have. You said I
once had an athletic neck, it would sit a little
higher because my neck would be wider.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I never said you had a fat neck. I said,
do you have an athletic a swimmer's neck. It's a
good neck. It's not like Nigel Manson.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Swimmer necks don't look like Naomi Campbell, do they. A
swimmer has a thicker neck, and that's what you were referring.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
I just said that to you in two thousand and four,
and all I said was you.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Have Adelaide legs and a swimmer's neck. You can't deny
you said the words.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I didn't realize your legs were recipple as and when
I saw them one day, all above board by the
way I saw them, and I went, well, I didn't
realize that you had such good legs because at the
time I was trying to get a motorcycle off me
that had followed on my leg and you were there
helping me get the motorbike and your howk hiked up
(13:23):
your skirt and there were your legs, and I.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Went, look at those legs I didn't and that provided
me secure from being crushed by the motorcycle or so your.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Strength around my neck area, well, you managed to lift
that bike off with a neck just with your arms,
and you did it.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I'm not sure how we got to this, but let's
go back to this spot.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
We started at the bottom. Now we're here, drake.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
The necklace is called Previous Engagements and it has forty
two engagement ring diamonds, big richie ones. Have a look. Whoa,
they're not your diamond set memento. These are big fat solitaires.
And this is anyway the video. I'll tell you what
the history of this is. But it's got three nundred
(14:08):
and fifty one point thirty eight carrots of diamonds mounted
in eighty one K white gold. Whatever all of that
means eighteen carrot gold. Yes, that's what that would mean.
Eighty one k, eighty one thousand white gold.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
There's a video showing different angles of the stunning piece,
with a voiceover describing the process and the meaning behind it,
Bordering the impossible. An expedition spanning fourteen months, every diamond
hands selected, inspected to only suit perfection. So then has
all these close ups of these forty two diamonds. This
(14:41):
monumental art piece was assembled using three five to one
point three eight carrots blah blah blah blah, eighty one
k each stone, meticulously set utilizing the eagle claw technique.
Previous Engagements. For all the times he thought about it,
but never did.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Oh, I never did of that A.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
True wonder of the jewelry world. So this is what
the jewels represent. Forty two engagement ring diamonds forty two
times his thought about proposing but didn't. And that's what
this is about, right, Like is he trying to plant
it into a noose that he's escaped not marrying. I
don't understand what it is. Forty eight possibilities. Yep, that's
(15:23):
what it's called previous engagements. He didn't actually get engaged
where he thought about it but never did. How how
many jewels would be on your thought about it?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
That never did necklace about engagements? Oh well, just just
the one I only thought about it one.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yes, most people don't think forty two times that you're
going to get engaged and not.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
If it was something else like sex, I'd be like mister.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
T am pretty to fool too much thinking, not enough action.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
There's always the way.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Yeah, so your wife says, why am I getting this
long string of pearls pearl necklace? I was waiting for
you to say it. So anyway, that's not for sale.
It's just one that's been put up there that Drake
has made for himself every time he meets someone. If
he's going, do you want flybys with that? I'd like
to marry you. So who knows who these women are.
(16:13):
There's no more to the story than what I've just
told you.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Enjoy, well done, told the man does cutting up on
the cutting room floor. Have you ever wanted to scale
Mount Everest?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
No, I've done a story for beyond two thousand, a
series of stories in the Himalia, as I like to say,
in the Himalayas. But I flew in via helicopter. I
didn't do any trekking. Even walking up to my room
at the end of the evening was out of breath.
I have no interest. So in climbing Everest with.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
The helicopter, where did you go? You didn't go to
the top of Mount Everest?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
No, no, no, no, we didn't go to that. No,
I'm saying. We flew into the Himalayas and we did
some stories with some people and some echo stuff we
were doing there. But no, I didn't go to the
top of Everest.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
It's a story that's come out right now people, and
it's sort of eco tourism. People climbing Mount Everest and
twenty twenty five has been the biggest ever year for
people scaling Mount Everest, and the big thing is the Nepalese.
They make a lot of money out of this. But
other people say it's time to respect the mountain. And
when you look at those pictures of queues of three
(17:24):
hundred people waiting to summit, but I kind of have
empathy for those people, whoever they might be.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
They've all tried to get up there.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
And you'll, like, imagine two hundred and ninety eight in
the queue of three hundred and all of a sudden
the weather closes, came so close to getting to Everest.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Well, it's a shrpa who has posted these pictures saying,
come on, this only serves short term pride. You're putting
immense pressure on our sacred mountain. This is a Shirpa
saying it's time to reflect. We must pause and reconsider
how we approach Everest, not just for ourselves, but for
the mountain's future. But you're right when you look at
that when someone has a photo taken at the top
(17:59):
of the mountain, it's them and those incredible mountain peaks
behind them. It looks like you're the only person in
the world. But from this angle, you see two hundred
and fifty people snaking up that mountain in the freezing cold,
waiting their turn. And as you say, they're all looking
at the weather closing in, or looking at the day
closing in, the darkness coming. They're thinking, my god, I've
(18:19):
come all this way and I may not get my photo.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I may not get my photo. But what do people expect?
A gift shop up the top there.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
It's a little bit like a rite of passage. And
I think I'm right in saying that more men do
this than women. It's like Kakoda, this is the midlife
test yourself.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Yeah, well, what.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
About that guy that his wife wanted to do it?
They both went up there, they got to near the summit,
she died and he had to leave her up there. Cripes,
he didn't even want to go on this thing. What
about Meg in the prod pod that's the producer's pod, Meg,
who had no interest in scaling Everest and her dad
wanted to go to base camp as a bit of
(18:58):
a bucket list thing.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
So he's the one that's doing all the training.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
She trained with him.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Meg vapes on the quarter hour Yah and as it
turns out Dad ends up getting altitudes altitudes sick, has
to go to a police hospital. Mega ends up at
Base cam by yourself doing selfie fingers.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
That's a cruel mystery.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
You have a feeling that you need to test yourself.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Nah, Now I test myself every day by riding a
motorcycle into work. That's the length of testing that I need.
And I'm not a fan of the Third World. To
be frank, I don't need to travel to the Third World.
I can see pictures of it.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
You want to get enlightened with a beer.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Yeah, I want to go to places like Greece is
as about third World as I will go.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
You want a flushing toilet, yeah, well Greece.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
In Greece, if you don't know this, when you do
a pooh, you've got to put your toilet paper in
a bin next to the toilet.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Because they're plumbing system.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
They didn't you know, they might have come up with philosophy,
but they didn't come up with plumbing like the Romans did.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Don't point that out to them. They get a bit
upset about it.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
But nonetheless, philosophy or do you want plumbing? You can't
have both.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I want to flush my toilet paper.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I want to rip out the works of Plato and
flush them down the toilet.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
So that's it, instead of my travels.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
I know that you want to go and eat some
seeds sitting cross legged by some Buddhist talks to you.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
I'm not interested.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
I'm not interested in that.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
You know.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
My fantasy is about living in a Tuscan, in a
Tuscan village and taking cooking classes and slicing tomatoes and
serving food on enormous platters. That's what I'd like you.
When you say you have sliced Italians, I said that
to shock here what you did.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I was shocked. I'm not wearing the dormy a grin anymore.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
And curlion, it's jarzyns cullium.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Are you ready for more? On the cutting room floor today,
it's all about Calvin Harris.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Calvin Harris, this is Calvin Harris. He is a singer
song out of producer DJ.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Well.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
I'm a DJ, not a very creative one.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
I don't think Calvin does time calls.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
This?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Then why don't you just because Jewel Leeper.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
It's like someone who stands in front of wild famous
painting paintings and says, I can do that.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Oh, I can do that. Why Why where's my ticket
tape parade? That's him and Katie.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Katie who Katy Perry anyway, Calvin Harris, he has had
a baby. His wife's had a baby just recently.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
What's his wife's name.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
His wife name is Vicky or Vick. She's a I
think she's on BBC one radio. She's a DJ, well,
old school DJ. I think if you're going to talk
about her being an on air radio personality, maybe.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
She should say it's six twenty six. Here's John Farner.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Maybe she should then she'd be as cool as you.
But they've had a baby, and he's a series of
photos have been released, the first of him sitting on
a couch holding this little baby, this newborn. It's beautiful,
and he said, twentieth of July, our boy arrived. Micah
is here. My wife is a superhero. I'm in complete
(22:28):
awe of her primal wisdom. We're just so grateful, Love
you so much, Micah. Beautiful first dad stuff. But there's
a four or five other photos. That's the only one
of the actual baby. Yeah, there's another photo of his wife.
You can't see really what's going on? But you see
a baby's head being born in a blow up pool.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
She had a haimberth.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Yeah, so the baby's emerging in a blow up pool.
The next one, and people have been confronted by this
because they said I saw it without warning. There should
be an age restriction, and in fact they've now put
age restrictions on this photos. It's just a giant close
up of the placenta.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
And then the next one are bits of placenter chopped
up like bits of sausage in what looks like an
air fryer, not an air fryer, and a dehydrator.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Mushroom lady, anyone.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
This is where we've all heard about the dehydrator. So
there's a placenter, an air dryer, dehumidifier, whatever that thing's called.
And then the finished product product, which is him holding
a jar of will look like licorice bullets, but they're
capsules of the dried placenta. They're eating the placenta. I
(23:42):
knew of someone years ago who wanted to eat the placenter,
and I thought, why didn't you just go to the butcher,
because this seems like a good idea. If you've given
birth on the nulla ballplane. You don't have access to
if it's starving today, any iron don't have access to
any things like this. But I've been doing some research
and this is a big business. This is a really
big business. They're saying that eating the placenta, and I'm
(24:05):
sure this is true, can boost your immunity, help with
you bloods, help with your mental health. Really, the global
placenta market, there's astrase I never thought i'd say.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
But psychologically, I suppose in a way you feel that, oh,
I'm eating.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
This that nurtured my child and now it's nourishing me.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Yeah, so maybe there's a bit of a psychosomatic and
also seebo effect.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
You're swallowing a capsule, you're not eating it like a steak.
The global placenta market was valued at this is American
dollars nearly ninety million dollars in twenty twenty five. It's
projected to reach US dollars nearly one hundred million by
twenty thirty three. It's been growing at a huge rate,
so it's interesting. There's a whole lot of placenta derived
(24:51):
product products. People make artworks out of them. Stem cell
therapies regenerative medicines. A lot of stuff that medically is
going to come from this. But what you can do,
even Australia, if you this is quite a big business.
You can arrange this beforehand. You pay money for when
you know you're giving birth. For the hospital, the midwives
(25:13):
know that this is a thing you've set up. The
company will come to the hospital, the midwife will hand
over your placenta and process it and do this for
you so you don't have to buy the dehydrator, do
the capsules, and buy a capsule machine and hire all
the equipment. You can outsource this and it's a very
well run operation. What you're pulling a face?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
And do you know you're getting your placenta?
Speaker 1 (25:38):
They tell, well, that's that's fair. You know there are
checks and balances saying how do you know you're getting
your own baby at the end.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Of the day.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
There are ways to test this stuff and the hospital
would be responsible around this.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
There's a bit of a fervor that goes with when
the baby is born, particularly the first one. I remember
when Morgan, how oldest was born. My wife held thirty
years ago, had a massive placenta.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
How do you know it was massive. Well, because I
was there, I was, but maybe they're all.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
The doc said to me, he said, this is a
shoe huge plus center and it was like one point
two kilos of placenta and we both had our hands
and he does, look out bigger, look how healthy that
placenta is. And then he told me that you know
you can eat them. There are a lot of people
in certain cultures to eat the placenta.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
And I went, well, you could have chopped that up
for a whole lot of While I like the size
of it, I'm very competitive.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
I would have manted it on the wall or put
it down as a throw rug or something like that.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
It would have been the same size as the baby.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
It was.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
It was bigger than Morgan. A part of me was thinking,
you know, maybe we should leave the.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Kid behind it and dress this up, dressed this little lash.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
But he was a beautiful, beautiful baby. You got the
perfect app G score, you know, the little he got.
He got all nines.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
It was like he did a Nadia Common each when
he came out. He was such a beautiful little baby.
But that placenta was so huge. And I remember at
the time, this is before social media and all that junk.
I was telling anyone who'd care to listen about the
size of Helen's placenta. You should have seen the placenta.
It was this big, and in the storytelling it got
like a fisherman.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Yeah, did you mount it above your bar?
Speaker 2 (27:14):
I wanted to put it about.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
I want to turn into one of those singing you know,
instead really pass singing the songs.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Oh, I don't know. I'm happy to work this out.
You know what would it be?
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Something about blood? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Yeah, maybe maybe he's something about blood or providing life Burcher.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Now that I'm out, Now that I'm out.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
You know I'm coming up, So you better get this
party started. You know, these are all good ideas. So
there is a sort of a there is that further,
when you have your first child, and.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
When Romani was born, you didn't think about it.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
She came out like a lifeless, dead slug because your
mother had an addiction to not an addiction, what on
an addiction?
Speaker 2 (27:57):
She had a what do you call it?
Speaker 3 (27:58):
An allergy to pithode not an addiction to it, and
they gave her the pithodine.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Little Rome came out, this little lifeless slug. They have
to give her knah can. That's why they give the
junkies when they take much help.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Were you tempted to take that percent of home instead
of the blue baby?
Speaker 3 (28:12):
I remember looking at Helen, and Helen didn't look good
because of the aforementioned Panthodene and Romany came out and
I was wondering down the corridors with her and the
guy that was counting down how long she hadn't been
breathing for and he looked at me and said, who
are you as I'm the father, and his attitude instantly changed.
He went from business like doctor to a functory, but
(28:35):
at the same type, very warm doctor. And so what
we're doing with your daughter now is we're giving her
some nahcan. So they injected that into a little foot
into that movie Cocoon. When the old time has touched
people and that little pink glow goes through them, that's
what it was.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Now full time has touched people, are get arrested. I
love our chats.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
That's it. I'm back tomorrow for more John's and a
man who's cutting the room floor.
