It's sosy and unlin just funny. It's cosy and man's cutting.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Well do you still wear a fit bit?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I love my fit bit?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
What do you use it for?
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Just to see my telemetry?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
I love telemetry when I'm watching the bathist V eight,
so I like to see when they put all the
screens on the screen and you're watching the cargo through
the GE's and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
So does it your fitbit tell you all your fitness
stats and it goes to your phone, and how fen
do you look at it?
Speaker 5 (01:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:08):
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 fit bit app.
So for example, right now, I had six hours and
six minutes of sleep.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
That's not much.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
My heart right now is beating at seventy one beats
per minute.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Have I show you this picture of Jennifer Hawkins.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
My resting heart beat is fifty four.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
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 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 music good chess, so
(02:00):
I have. 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? Why am I here?
I'm only doing 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
(02:21):
own phone, but he keeps your stats of your fitness levels,
how many steps.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
With other people.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
You can and you can probably.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I don't do that.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
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. Yeah, it started in Indonesia. 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,
(02:53):
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 footbit on her and let the steps count for mine.
But I'd noticed that my gated change slightly and I
was sniffing bums.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Now that sounds like a man to me. Tag it
out of the greyhound track. Off you go, Mini.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Because also those apps record all kinds of unusual activity.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Well, remember Rupert Murdoch had a fitbit app. And I
don't know if this is an urban myth or not,
but it's worth talking about. And all the family were
the kids and Rupert and then wife Jerry Hall were
all gathered in on the same fing.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Well, you'd want to see how fit Rupert was, because
I think is today.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
The day and anyway, well he is pretty fit.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Because apparently at nine o'clock at night, there was regular
activity at nine o'clock each night for how long?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
For the prescribed time, about five.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Minutes prescribed time. That'll do you, jest, five minutes is
all right?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
So all the kids were okay, Dad, there's probably enough.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Of that to take down off the app.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Let's get off the app. Yeah, I'm pretty impressed with that, Rubert.
He's an old fellow. He's doing all right. I'm certainly
not getting that action. You look at my.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Fit hell and asked some guy Indonesia to take care.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Of well, mine's flatlining on the cutting room floor. Today,
I'm going.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
To talk about ancient history today. Oh good, Egyptian, Egyptian.
Maybe we might talk about the Spartans, we might talk
about thucidities, what.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
About the Peloponnesian Wars.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I'm going to talk about all of that. Brendan, Actually no,
but I am going to talk about the days before
the modern phone. When I first moved into a flat
with a girlfriend, there was no such thing as an
answering machine. It's hard to believe that. I mean now,
no one leaves answering messages anyway. But if I remember,
I wanted a boy to call me. He was going
to call me, and I had to dash out to
(04:51):
the shop, and I didn't want him to call and
never call back if I wasn't home. So I left
the phone off the hook so he'd think I was
just making a call. Give it five minutes and try again,
because I just downstairs to the.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Shop, right, I see the method in the matters. You
think he's thinking this chick's hot.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
She's hot, she's on the phone. I'll just give it
ten minutes and I'll call again. Instead, I forgot to
put the phone back on the hook, and a day
later walked past the went, oh my god, I hate myself.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
So if you had an answering machine, there would have
been six missed calls from mister honky pants.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
What's there have been? And then we got an answering
machine and that was the most incredible thing. You had
to set it before you left the house. There's nothing
automatic about it.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I remember you pressed the play and record. But yeah,
oh hi, it's Jones. You can't come to the phone
right now. Leave a message after the.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Beat, or you could do a quirky one. We had
one that said, oh, hello, how I hang on to say,
I'll just get my panel, just dropped my pant. Yeah
it's around here with Yeah, but my mother who didn't
quite understand how these things worked, even if it was
just a plain one Hello, leave a message. Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
I remember years ago I had an answering machine and
it was an audio line answering machine, and I bought
it from the local Tandy shop and it was broken.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
It never worked.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
So I took it back to the Tandy shop and
they said, no worries, I will send it off to
get repaired. Six to eight weeks later, it comes back.
I plug it in, still not working.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
What about all the guys that were trying to call you?
Speaker 4 (06:21):
So then I've written a strongly worded letter, not an email,
because that didn't exist, about how I'm a very important
businessman and I need my head, I need my business.
And so the audio line people sent me a brand
new answering.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Machine for a result.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
And the first the first call on my answering machine
was from my brother and it was literally hey, bound
and then this is rustling, and then you just said
this big.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
It's start up far into the phone.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
That was as an important businessman, That's what I was waiting.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
What I love is that despite the fact that technology
has changed, your brother would still do that now it
wouldn't What about this. This is an ad I saw
four Crazy calls. This is where there was seven original
recordings for all answering machines. You could make your answering
machine sound like this.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Hey how, I'm sorry that I'm not at home, but
when I get the message Ondella phone.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
The first one Crazy calls a tape of seven different
songs and funny recordings for answering machines.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I'm very sorry that I'm not at home.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
To take your call on fourteen five and I will
get your message. The talk give someone the gift of
gad for their answering machine and a friend.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
What you've actually done is but one way ticket to
the answering machine song Nobody, Nobody's All, but I'm not.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Home Crazy Calls, a tape of seven different songs and
funny recordings for only fourteen ninety five. Call one eight
hundred five five four nine thousand.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Honoring that number and just leave a big.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Fat and I say, hello, Jonesy ready, everybody more gy
Hana just got ready?
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Everybody here.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Georgy on the cutting room floor today. The Oxford Word
of the Year. This is the Oxford Dictionary Word of
the Year.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
A minute, back up the truck. So this is the
Oxford Dictionary word of because we've already had the mcquarie
dictionary word of the yea, will we start with that?
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
What was the mccarde?
Speaker 1 (08:56):
That was an ai slop. That's when you look at
the e and you go, that is a cheap ai
and Sander's got eight fingers. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yep, that's
so lap. So that's the mcquarie. What then? Oh, I
see six seven And I'm sorry to be even saying
it out loud.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Let it just die off.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
That was the word of the year. All the words
and the dictionaries are coming out and showing off. I
thought we just had one word. They've all got a
crack at it.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Remember when you're a kid and you look up fart
in the dictionary and there was two definitions. There was
small explosion from the behind.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
What was the other one?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Wind from the anus? I always appreciated wind from the anus?
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Why were there too?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I don't know. It'd be different dictionaries.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
I think Webster's Dictionary, Oxford Dictionary or whatever, dictionary, Funk
and wagnals. Perhaps they all had their different different definition.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
And kids no longer will know the pleasure of having
to look up in an encyclopedia.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
What about the encyclic People.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Can't get rid of encyclopedias. No one wants to buy them.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
They look at a lot of those trendy cafes have
them in bookshelves and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
And you look at them, it's like looking at it
something from a crypt.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Yeah, mum, mum and dad have still got Dad's passed away,
but Mum's still got the encyclopedia on display.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
No, they're in the utility room, as she asked to
call it.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
That's interesting. My neighbors had the encyclopedia, so I have
to go over there.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Can I borrow you do? I've got to do it. Stop,
I'm doing it. First study on the hootoes? Could you
know any about the hootooes?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
And you just couldn't google it?
Speaker 4 (10:24):
And early days that's where you get your bosoms from,
from the encyclopedia.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
And here's me thinking it was puberty. Yea, I'm mis
seeing an episode and if you want, yeah, that's ye
had to go and look at pigmies.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I remember you had to wake off to a pick.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Your mum still got them because she's too ashamed to
give them away. I remember watching an episode Stop seeing
an episode of Married with Children, and you know how
the blonde sister was supposed to be a dumbbo yes
where she gets a computer and she had to do
an assignment on Moby Dick and she typed in moby
Dick and nothing came up, and goes, oh, are you
(11:04):
really what was like she had a lateral. Now you
type it in there's moby Dick and then you get
all sorts of terrible results.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
I know, but away from what you were saying for
the your Dictionary of the Year, the Oxford saying rage bait. Yeah, yeah,
and the rage bait is great. It's the only thing
that gets you to click on someone's site. It could
be anything from someone making a chirrum a sous in
their veggie crisper and the fridge, or.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
People on a similar vein, people who use the center
console of their car to make ice cream. I saw
a classic one the other day. You know in England.
Everyone in England loves these things. They're orange, chocolate, orange orange.
And there's an American saying I don't understand it, and
he opens it up. It's all segmented but he bit
into it like an apple, knowing it would inflame the
(11:55):
English going, that's not how you eat it?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
And what rage baits you? So you're looking in someone,
you're on your phone, you're looking at something. What's something
that guaranteed you almost start to make a comment, what
would that be?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
It's probably someone who from overseas it doesn't underst and
who doesn't understand our gun laws or something. You know someone,
but you can get someone who will deliberately do that
just to enrage.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Yeah, they say you Australians, you got you got no freedom,
you got no guns.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
I always find if I'm looking at my look at
a lot of motorcycle stuff, but anything that says that
lane filtering is bad, that instantly gets mine.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
So when I post that all the time, actually and
I look.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
At it and I know that it's rage bait, I
know what.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Will calm you down? Pigmies eyes.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Go around, the Mum's out.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
All the pages, it goes without saying, Brendan.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Everybody, it's time for and Amanda's cutting room for.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Everybody, it's time for and Amanda's cutting room for It's
the cutting room for.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
On the cutting room floor today, Well, We're at that
time of year where a lot of officers are having
Christmas parties, maybe having lunch things. Bring everyone brings some
food to work. Here's a tale I saw play out
on an American woman's social media. This is, as I said,
an American woman. They were having pot luck. You know
what pot luck means, Everyone brings something and just see
(13:22):
how some role Yeah, that kind of thing. And I
guess they've been having their Thanksgiving leading up also to
their Christmas there. Yeah, so I'll just read this out.
There are nine different beats to this story, and she's
chronicled all of them. My co worker brought raw chicken
to the pot luck today, and so it's a picture
(13:44):
of just raw chicken wings in a plastic bag.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Here's an update. He bought a deep fryer too, no
spices insight. He's putting beare chicken in the fryer and
putting the sauces on the after. He's saying that that's seasoning.
So I wouldn't be critical of that, sure, But then
she said he's touching it with his bare hands too.
Please send help, and she says, I'm literally shaking. I
(14:10):
need may inhala. He's just casually walking around the room,
touching things. After touching raw chicken, this entire place is contaminated.
Oh my god. The reason I'm picking this story is
because I know Brendan. You hate congeal, you hate contamination,
you hate food left on benches, you hate all of
(14:31):
that stuff. This story is speaking to you. You could
be this woman. So then she says, update, he bit
into one to see if it was cooked, and it's
still raw. Another coworker, wow, I appreciate you going out
of your way. And he says, yeah, this is what
I love to do, and she's saying, please stop doing it.
(14:52):
He keeps offering me the salmonella and I'm downing pizza
slices just to say I'm full. I don't even eat
pizza anymore. I've had three slices in twenty minutes. One
of my coworkers who ate the wings just said, my
stomach kind of hurts. I don't know what's wrong. Salmonella,
that's what's wrong. I'm watching natural selection happen in a
(15:14):
real time. She said, I forgot to tell y'all the
worst part lmao. To source the wings, he was putting
them in tupperware instead. Of tossing them, he turned them
with his bare fingers and licked his fingers a few
times between each one to get the sauce off.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Yeah, my coworker had to leave early because she's dead
ass sick.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Right, so it'd actually had paid dividends straight away.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Well, who knows. He said he's offered to make more tomorrow,
and I immediately said no, today was enough. He laughed
it off, But I'm serious, she says, after today, I've
concluded this is a toxic and hosptile work environment, and
I have to go. She gonna leave for reference. It's
my third week here. Everything's been going great so far.
Dope environment, slash culture, dope people great, pay, great benefits,
(16:04):
but I can't move past this. Other people have called
bs on this because they say, you know, salmonela doesn't
work that quickly. Someone else says, really, you're full on
three pizza slices. I don't believe a word of it.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yeah, that's true as well. I could easily go four slices,
performance even four.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I can see someone doing this. Someone could not. Everyone
knows how to do this stuff. If this person, this
young guy, lives on his own, he might often do
this at home, and to you know, cooks raw chicken,
cooks chicken, turns stuff with his fingers, he licks his fingers.
He's the only one in you know. Yeah, but to
lick his fingers and touch other things, to put raw
(16:41):
chicken around the place. I would find it very hard
to sit there and not say anything. Would you have
said anything, yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
We would.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
I just add on a chicken wings and wash your hands.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
You wouldn't have said, hey, just be careful because you're
just putting your bare hands. It's hard to know because
you don't want to be impolite. It's pot like everyone
generously is bringing stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Years ago, I draw the cooking at home. Years ago.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
I was watching Current Affair and I had one of
those stories about picking up salmonella and fecal content in
food in the house.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
That's what I would have taken to my potlight.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
So instead of instead of going to a dodgy takeaway store,
this is in the house and there was a dad
just cooking the food, and they've got little little vials
of his cooking, and then going in here, it's got salmonella.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Tested them for stuff and it's got.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Fecal content, and the guy didn't know what frecal content was.
He said, what's fecal content?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Is that like paprika? What's this?
Speaker 4 (17:37):
And they said, well, it's you know, it's it's toilet
gym and they said that, and he's got no more.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
I don't understand what's his fecal content? What's that? What's that?
And then someone said it's ship mate, Wash your hands?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
When you who said that?
Speaker 2 (17:50):
The reporter had to say, it's poop. Wash your hands,
probably when you go to the toilet.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
And I saw that years ago and ever since then,
I've always been very mindful in the kitchen about food hygiene.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
So that's that where you're cook in the toilet.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
They always cooking the toilet. The cistern is great. You
set it up in the tip.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
You can rinch your stuff in there. Yeah, they've got
flowing water. Why wouldn't you, Why wouldn't you cut out
the middle man?
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Everybody has it today, don't you.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
That's cutting

Speaker 4 (00:54):
I love telemetry when I'm watching the bathist V eight,
so I like to see when they put all the
screens on the screen and you're watching the cargo through
the GE's and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
So does it your fitbit tell you all your fitness
stats and it goes to your phone, and how fen
do you look at it?
Speaker 5 (01:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:08):
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 fit bit app.
So for example, right now, I had six hours and
six minutes of sleep.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
That's not much.

My heart right now is beating at seventy one beats

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Have I show you this picture of Jennifer Hawkins.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
My resting heart beat is fifty four.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I have a Apple I watch thing and I'm a

how many steps I've done. I'm just obsessed with 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 music good chess, so
(02:00):
I have. 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? Why am I here?
I'm only doing to impress my watch. Well, the reason
I bring this up is that there's such a thing

Speaker 1 (02:27):
You can and you can probably.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I don't do that.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
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. Yeah, it started in Indonesia. 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,

my footbit on her and let the steps count for mine.
But I'd noticed that my gated change slightly and I
was sniffing bums.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Now that sounds like a man to me. Tag it
out of the greyhound track. Off you go, Mini.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Because also those apps record all kinds of unusual activity.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Well, remember Rupert Murdoch had a fitbit app. And I
don't know if this is an urban myth or not,
but it's worth talking about. And all the family were
the kids and Rupert and then wife Jerry Hall were
all gathered in on the same fing.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Well, you'd want to see how fit Rupert was, because
I think is today.
Speaker 2 (03:41):

So all the kids were okay, Dad, there's probably enough.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Of that to take down off the app.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Let's get off the app. Yeah, I'm pretty impressed with that, Rubert.
He's an old fellow. He's doing all right. I'm certainly
not getting that action. You look at my.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Fit hell and asked some guy Indonesia to take care.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Of well, mine's flatlining on the cutting room floor. Today,
I'm going.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
To talk about ancient history today. Oh good, Egyptian, Egyptian.
Maybe we might talk about the Spartans, we might talk
about thucidities, what.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
About the Peloponnesian Wars.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I'm going to talk about all of that. Brendan, Actually no,
but I am going to talk about the days before
the modern phone. When I first moved into a flat
with a girlfriend, there was no such thing as an
answering machine. It's hard to believe that. I mean now,
no one leaves answering messages anyway. But if I remember,
I wanted a boy to call me. He was going
to call me, and I had to dash out to
(04:51):
the shop, and I didn't want him to call and
never call back if I wasn't home. So I left
the phone off the hook so he'd think I was
just making a call. Give it five minutes and try again,
because I just downstairs to the.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Shop, right, I see the method in the matters. You
think he's thinking this chick's hot.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
She's hot, she's on the phone. I'll just give it
ten minutes and I'll call again. Instead, I forgot to
put the phone back on the hook, and a day
later walked past the went, oh my god, I hate myself.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
So if you had an answering machine, there would have
been six missed calls from mister honky pants.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
What's there have been? And then we got an answering
machine and that was the most incredible thing. You had
to set it before you left the house. There's nothing
automatic about it.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I remember you pressed the play and record. But yeah,
oh hi, it's Jones. You can't come to the phone
right now. Leave a message after the.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Beat, or you could do a quirky one. We had
one that said, oh, hello, how I hang on to say,
I'll just get my panel, just dropped my pant. Yeah
it's around here with Yeah, but my mother who didn't
quite understand how these things worked, even if it was
just a plain one Hello, leave a message. Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
I remember years ago I had an answering machine and
it was an audio line answering machine, and I bought
it from the local Tandy shop and it was broken.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
It never worked.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
So I took it back to the Tandy shop and
they said, no worries, I will send it off to
get repaired. Six to eight weeks later, it comes back.
I plug it in, still not working.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
What about all the guys that were trying to call you?
Speaker 4 (06:21):
So then I've written a strongly worded letter, not an email,
because that didn't exist, about how I'm a very important
businessman and I need my head, I need my business.
And so the audio line people sent me a brand
new answering.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Machine for a result.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
And the first the first call on my answering machine
was from my brother and it was literally hey, bound
and then this is rustling, and then you just said
this big.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
It's start up far into the phone.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
That was as an important businessman, That's what I was waiting.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
What I love is that despite the fact that technology
has changed, your brother would still do that now it
wouldn't What about this. This is an ad I saw
four Crazy calls. This is where there was seven original
recordings for all answering machines. You could make your answering
machine sound like this.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Hey how, I'm sorry that I'm not at home, but
when I get the message Ondella phone.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
The first one Crazy calls a tape of seven different
songs and funny recordings for answering machines.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I'm very sorry that I'm not at home.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
To take your call on fourteen five and I will
get your message. The talk give someone the gift of
gad for their answering machine and a friend.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
What you've actually done is but one way ticket to
the answering machine song Nobody, Nobody's All, but I'm not.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Home Crazy Calls, a tape of seven different songs and
funny recordings for only fourteen ninety five. Call one eight
hundred five five four nine thousand.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Honoring that number and just leave a big.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Fat and I say, hello, Jonesy ready, everybody more gy
Hana just got ready?
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Everybody here.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Georgy on the cutting room floor today. The Oxford Word
of the Year. This is the Oxford Dictionary Word of
the Year.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
A minute, back up the truck. So this is the
Oxford Dictionary word of because we've already had the mcquarie
dictionary word of the yea, will we start with that?
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
What was the mccarde?
Speaker 1 (08:56):
That was an ai slop. That's when you look at
the e and you go, that is a cheap ai
and Sander's got eight fingers. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yep, that's
so lap. So that's the mcquarie. What then? Oh, I
see six seven And I'm sorry to be even saying
it out loud.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Let it just die off.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
That was the word of the year. All the words
and the dictionaries are coming out and showing off. I
thought we just had one word. They've all got a
crack at it.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Remember when you're a kid and you look up fart
in the dictionary and there was two definitions. There was
small explosion from the behind.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
What was the other one?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Wind from the anus? I always appreciated wind from the anus?
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Why were there too?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I don't know. It'd be different dictionaries.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
I think Webster's Dictionary, Oxford Dictionary or whatever, dictionary, Funk
and wagnals. Perhaps they all had their different different definition.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
And kids no longer will know the pleasure of having
to look up in an encyclopedia.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
What about the encyclic People.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Can't get rid of encyclopedias. No one wants to buy them.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
They look at a lot of those trendy cafes have
them in bookshelves and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
And you look at them, it's like looking at it
something from a crypt.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Yeah, mum, mum and dad have still got Dad's passed away,
but Mum's still got the encyclopedia on display.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
No, they're in the utility room, as she asked to
call it.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
That's interesting. My neighbors had the encyclopedia, so I have
to go over there.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Can I borrow you do? I've got to do it. Stop,
I'm doing it. First study on the hootoes? Could you
know any about the hootooes?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
And you just couldn't google it?
Speaker 4 (10:24):
And early days that's where you get your bosoms from,
from the encyclopedia.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
And here's me thinking it was puberty. Yea, I'm mis
seeing an episode and if you want, yeah, that's ye
had to go and look at pigmies.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I remember you had to wake off to a pick.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Your mum still got them because she's too ashamed to
give them away. I remember watching an episode Stop seeing
an episode of Married with Children, and you know how
the blonde sister was supposed to be a dumbbo yes
where she gets a computer and she had to do
an assignment on Moby Dick and she typed in moby
Dick and nothing came up, and goes, oh, are you
(11:04):
really what was like she had a lateral. Now you
type it in there's moby Dick and then you get
all sorts of terrible results.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
I know, but away from what you were saying for
the your Dictionary of the Year, the Oxford saying rage bait. Yeah, yeah,
and the rage bait is great. It's the only thing
that gets you to click on someone's site. It could
be anything from someone making a chirrum a sous in
their veggie crisper and the fridge, or.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
People on a similar vein, people who use the center
console of their car to make ice cream. I saw
a classic one the other day. You know in England.
Everyone in England loves these things. They're orange, chocolate, orange orange.
And there's an American saying I don't understand it, and
he opens it up. It's all segmented but he bit
into it like an apple, knowing it would inflame the
(11:55):
English going, that's not how you eat it?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
And what rage baits you? So you're looking in someone,
you're on your phone, you're looking at something. What's something
that guaranteed you almost start to make a comment, what
would that be?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
It's probably someone who from overseas it doesn't underst and
who doesn't understand our gun laws or something. You know someone,
but you can get someone who will deliberately do that
just to enrage.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Yeah, they say you Australians, you got you got no freedom,
you got no guns.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
I always find if I'm looking at my look at
a lot of motorcycle stuff, but anything that says that
lane filtering is bad, that instantly gets mine.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
So when I post that all the time, actually and
I look.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
At it and I know that it's rage bait, I
know what.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Will calm you down? Pigmies eyes.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Go around, the Mum's out.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
All the pages, it goes without saying, Brendan.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Everybody, it's time for and Amanda's cutting room for.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Everybody, it's time for and Amanda's cutting room for It's
the cutting room for.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
On the cutting room floor today, Well, We're at that
time of year where a lot of officers are having
Christmas parties, maybe having lunch things. Bring everyone brings some
food to work. Here's a tale I saw play out
on an American woman's social media. This is, as I said,
an American woman. They were having pot luck. You know
what pot luck means, Everyone brings something and just see
(13:22):
how some role Yeah, that kind of thing. And I
guess they've been having their Thanksgiving leading up also to
their Christmas there. Yeah, so I'll just read this out.
There are nine different beats to this story, and she's
chronicled all of them. My co worker brought raw chicken
to the pot luck today, and so it's a picture
(13:44):
of just raw chicken wings in a plastic bag.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Here's an update. He bought a deep fryer too, no
spices insight. He's putting beare chicken in the fryer and
putting the sauces on the after. He's saying that that's seasoning.
So I wouldn't be critical of that, sure, But then
she said he's touching it with his bare hands too.
Please send help, and she says, I'm literally shaking. I
(14:10):
need may inhala. He's just casually walking around the room,
touching things. After touching raw chicken, this entire place is contaminated.
Oh my god. The reason I'm picking this story is
because I know Brendan. You hate congeal, you hate contamination,
you hate food left on benches, you hate all of
(14:31):
that stuff. This story is speaking to you. You could
be this woman. So then she says, update, he bit
into one to see if it was cooked, and it's
still raw. Another coworker, wow, I appreciate you going out
of your way. And he says, yeah, this is what
I love to do, and she's saying, please stop doing it.
(14:52):
He keeps offering me the salmonella and I'm downing pizza
slices just to say I'm full. I don't even eat
pizza anymore. I've had three slices in twenty minutes. One
of my coworkers who ate the wings just said, my
stomach kind of hurts. I don't know what's wrong. Salmonella,
that's what's wrong. I'm watching natural selection happen in a
(15:14):
real time. She said, I forgot to tell y'all the
worst part lmao. To source the wings, he was putting
them in tupperware instead. Of tossing them, he turned them
with his bare fingers and licked his fingers a few
times between each one to get the sauce off.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Yeah, my coworker had to leave early because she's dead
ass sick.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Right, so it'd actually had paid dividends straight away.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Well, who knows. He said he's offered to make more tomorrow,
and I immediately said no, today was enough. He laughed
it off, But I'm serious, she says, after today, I've
concluded this is a toxic and hosptile work environment, and
I have to go. She gonna leave for reference. It's
my third week here. Everything's been going great so far.
Dope environment, slash culture, dope people great, pay, great benefits,
(16:04):
but I can't move past this. Other people have called
bs on this because they say, you know, salmonela doesn't
work that quickly. Someone else says, really, you're full on
three pizza slices. I don't believe a word of it.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yeah, that's true as well. I could easily go four slices,
performance even four.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I can see someone doing this. Someone could not. Everyone
knows how to do this stuff. If this person, this
young guy, lives on his own, he might often do
this at home, and to you know, cooks raw chicken,
cooks chicken, turns stuff with his fingers, he licks his fingers.
He's the only one in you know. Yeah, but to
lick his fingers and touch other things, to put raw
(16:41):
chicken around the place. I would find it very hard
to sit there and not say anything. Would you have
said anything, yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
We would.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
I just add on a chicken wings and wash your hands.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
You wouldn't have said, hey, just be careful because you're
just putting your bare hands. It's hard to know because
you don't want to be impolite. It's pot like everyone
generously is bringing stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Years ago, I draw the cooking at home. Years ago.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
I was watching Current Affair and I had one of
those stories about picking up salmonella and fecal content in
food in the house.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
That's what I would have taken to my potlight.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
So instead of instead of going to a dodgy takeaway store,
this is in the house and there was a dad
just cooking the food, and they've got little little vials
of his cooking, and then going in here, it's got salmonella.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Tested them for stuff and it's got.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Fecal content, and the guy didn't know what frecal content was.
He said, what's fecal content?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Is that like paprika? What's this?
Speaker 4 (17:37):
And they said, well, it's you know, it's it's toilet
gym and they said that, and he's got no more.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
I don't understand what's his fecal content? What's that? What's that?
And then someone said it's ship mate, Wash your hands?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
When you who said that?
Speaker 2 (17:50):
The reporter had to say, it's poop. Wash your hands,
probably when you go to the toilet.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
And I saw that years ago and ever since then,
I've always been very mindful in the kitchen about food hygiene.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
So that's that where you're cook in the toilet.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
They always cooking the toilet. The cistern is great. You
set it up in the tip.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
You can rinch your stuff in there. Yeah, they've got
flowing water. Why wouldn't you, Why wouldn't you cut out
the middle man?
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Everybody has it today, don't you.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
That's cutting

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
