Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, yeah, everybody, Amanda cutting room full floor.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Hey, hey everybody, it's time for Jonesy and Amanda's coming
room fla.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
It's the cunning room floor. Gay yay. It's Jonesy and
Amanda's cutting room floor. Yayyay. Hello, it's our podcast. As
he stifles a yawn.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
It's not stifling. It was just full on you. I
saw the back of your gums.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
It's not because of anything you've said, my friend. I
have never been bored by you in my life. There
was one time, just the one what's on the party?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Are you on the potty? I've saw this very interesting
a series of statistics, and it really makes you humble
and grateful to be here, to be born. So when
you yell at your parents, I don't know us to
be born. Yeah, So many extraordinary things have to be
in place for you to have a war a place
in the universe. It's quite mind blowing. Let me take
(01:02):
you through it. In order to be born, you need
two parents, four grandparents, eight great grandparents, sixteen great great
grandparents thirty two third great grandparents sixty four, fourth great
grandparents one hundred and twenty five fifth great grandparents. I
(01:24):
won't go through all the numbers, because you'll get bored. Okay,
five hundred and twelve seventh great grandparents, one and twenty
four eighth great grandparents, and two thousand and forty eight
ninth great grandparents over twelve generations spanning approximately four hundred years.
You needed a total of four thousand and ninety four
(01:45):
ancestors for you to come into exist, and not just
the people at the numbers. But as it says here,
we are the result of thousands of lives, choices, and
sacrifices that came before us, and also the lucky ones
who some fell by the wayside, through famine, through war,
(02:06):
through all kinds of things. We are the result of
the survivors and as they say here, the sacrifices they
made to have children. It's extraordinary, isn't it It is?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
That's amazing. Yeah, how did we get here?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Well? Do you write cards to them all?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Well? I was just thinking, there's some booty come on
my way from my ninth great great great grand parents,
because there's four thousand of.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Them, I know, but they also probably have four thousand descendants.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yeah, and you know how I recently became a grandfather.
I was holding my little grandson the other day, and
he's two weeks old. There was a world where he
didn't exist. Two weeks ago, he didn't exist.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Do you wonder what you talked about before the baby
came along? That's all you look at now. So I'm
going to get a dog. I think, what did we
ever talk about the dog?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
My mate Dave, he recently became a grandfather as well,
up to it, said how are you going? Are excited
about the imminent baby arrival? And he said, it's just
baby this and baby that. That's always women talk about.
And then they sent you a picture of him holding
his crandchild. Of course baby this.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, everyone falls for the and rightly so those big
gougye eyes that this is what this is about. The
passing on of your gems, and the sacrifices you made
for you to have Morgan, for Morgan to meet Zoey,
the sacrifices her parents made, for all of that to
come together to create the uniqueness of that human individual.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
In the world. There's good individuals and bad individuals, you know,
like out of Hitler.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I don't think your children have given birth to the antiquy.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
No, I'm just saying that Adolf Hitler. His parents would
have loved him and thought he was great and all
that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Well, they say, hey, you're going to be your son's
going to be the leader of Germany.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Is it? How wonderful is that ib has some sort
of rakish mustache rangement like his mother?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
But this, this goes on to say, this reminds us
of how precious and unique our existence is, a gift
shaped by generations of ancestors. We should remember to honor
their legacy by living with purpose, honor, and gratitude.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
But you look at how we're here today, You and I.
We've been doing this for a long time now. But
the very genesis of our radio show started in nineteen
ninety nine when your co host Andrew Denton went sick
and I was called in at the last minute to
fill in. As the opener of the show was playing,
I shut up, said I knew you vaguely. I said, hello,
(04:33):
Amanda and Brendan, your co host today. Imagine Andrew hadn't
gone se Well, every.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Moment of our lives are made up of the sliding doors,
aren't they Indeed? And sometimes the sliding doors go your way,
which has given us our survival, our gift of being alive. Yeah,
and sometimes the sliding doors don't go your way. Stay
away from doors, I think is pretty much the message exactly.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
That's what I think you're saying.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I think so.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I think you would have been spared a lot of
grief had that slide door not gone my way.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
What would my life? I'd be working in a dog sanctuary,
padding labradors all day and loving myself sick.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
And on the medicinal Maryland.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
And you'd be doing midnight to dawns in Kiatha.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I'd be like Harry Jabin and w O d.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
We all have our journeys.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Are you ready for law? It's time to check out
what's on the cutting room floor.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
This is a story we didn't get to today. It's
a story about a German Man who lived underwater for
one hundred and twenty days. Wow, to set a world record.
That's that's like a third of a year, is it, Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I guess it is. Yeah, it would be. Was he
in some sort of pod.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah, so this is the record for the longest time
I'm living underwater without depressurization. He was in He was
in a submerged capsule off the coast of Panama. This
guy's fifty nine years old. There were four cameras in
the capsule to record his daily life and to make
sure that his mental health was okay. I don't know
(06:16):
how you tell if it's not. Start explaying Joe Dalcy
on repeat.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Possibly should have checked his mental health before he went
down there.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
But also they want to check that he never came
to the surface. Incredible, isn't it. He said, he kind
of missed it. He said, it was a great adventure.
It's over, but there's a sense of regret. I enjoyed
my time there very much. The beautiful way that things
calm down when it gets dark and the sea is glowing.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Well, it's like being up in space those people in
the space stations.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
But they don't just go up there and sit there.
They've got work to do. They're working side side.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Okay, have you measured the microns and the space dosts?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
That report on my desk by nine, Get in from
your space walk and put that report on my desk.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Because those guys are the oldmate work from home people.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah, I guess so, and we have cameras on them
all the time. But you and I know what it's
like to live underwater for a period of time. We
broke the world record, the Guinness World Record for doing
the longest radio show underwater.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Not the realest. We're not the longest radio show. If
you put us end to end up against other radio.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Shows, would we would we even out? See some radio
shows have six people. That's fun long. You could put
some breakfast shows into end and they'll get to the moon.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
No, it's like a human centipede over.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
So what we did was we did a three hour
show in the shark tank at Sydney Aquarium underwater, and
that we were told that thanks to Guinness World Records.
They said we could come up to do to go
to the toilet or whatever. But we chose not to
because we just got to We just didn't have time.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
In the tank.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
So did you didn't you?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
No?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Oh, that's a shame. We just had to we ourselves
in front of the shark.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
We you weed yourself. I thought you were a bit
hard when you met the CEO out of the tank
and good as well.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
It's quite liberating, but remember how awful it was because
we had to wear these full face masks and any
seepage that came in you'd get salt water in your eyes,
your ears would throb, and the lead up to it
was hugely, hugely traumatic. I really had a hard time wait.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
In the old days, at our old building, we had
a swimming pool on the roof of the building.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
And we thought we'd practiced their technology, and you were
so rude and so dismissive. It took me about an
hour to get this before my replacement. To get in
and out of the wet suit. I had plastic bags
over my hands to try and get into the wet suit.
It was so hard, and you were so dismissive.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I wasn't dismissive. It's just what happened was you just
complained endlessly.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
The whole point was to see if the equipment worked,
and you didn't want to hear, and I did want
to hear. We weren't aware of it, but we were
being recorded the whole time, and we actually had an
underwater fight.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
I am.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Anyone, but we played that for James Cameron, the mastermind
behind Titanic. He got the idea for only one of
you can fit on the desk and an avatar, and
he just laughed his head off at that, thinking crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Well, he knows how crazy you were.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
You had no sympathy. But when it came to do it,
the only way that my ears weren't going to throb.
You know that terrible feeling you get one of the
car windows is open when you drive along, that awful
compression feeling. I had to lie like a salamander on
the bottom of the fish tank, of the fish tank,
the aquarium. I just lie on the bottom. Was the
(09:47):
only way I could.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Do it, because a lot of people could come in
and watch it. The aquarium and that's the lemon sharks,
that's fish. Let's seem the bottom.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
You and I don't pretend that I look worse than you.
We looked at the photo and couldn't tell which one
of us was rich. So much squishing and weirdness going on.
And when we came out they interviewed us with all
the radio people go yeah, yeah, yeah. Our boots were
just filled with water.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yes, mixed and other stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
I reckon you weed, I reckon you weed. So next up,
why don't we try and do how many one hundred
and twenty days we've done? Three hours?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
What's the diffre on the implosion? It's time for the
cutting room for Sorry, it's time. I was distracted because
I just got a spoon for my soup.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
We're drinking cup of soups.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Yep, and just made these our executive producer, and that's not.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Let's go back a step. I bought them at the shop, okay,
just int the very kindness that she'd make them for us.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yep. And then she brought the soups in. And she's
a very busy woman. So we do want to say
to her, are.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
You forgotting you put a spoon?
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Because I just can't drink a soup without a spoon.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I'm always angry. It's just that there'll be minerals that haven't. Yeah,
you know, dissolve you don't want the minerals. We're having
basic tomato, which I think is the best you can
put fancy pants stuff in there. Yeah, just give me
basic tomato.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
In its poundered form. It's very irridescent, eridescent, pink. Would
you say.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I don't how many tomatoes were harmed in the making
of this.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I think they're all pretty safe. It's quietly. On the
other we're talking about flavor enhances. A six y two
to one, Oh wow, what a star. Different kettle of fish. No,
we're not talking about that. Do you do you like beer?
You like beer?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I don't know how long have you known me, Brendan.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
You like to have us.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Have you known me? When? Have you ever seen me
drink a bottle of beer?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Sometimes you've said col a beer.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Money when my drinks are run out and I'm desperate.
But I've never drunk, drunk, drinken a glass of beer
or a bottle of beer. It's not my thing.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Great Northern Beer is a very popular beer.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I think my son's drinking.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
A lot of the kids call it the Blackfish because.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
There's a picture on the front, a black marlin on it.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I'm not a fan of it because it's a bit watery.
It's a good minstre beer is my brother in law says.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
It's not all mid strength. They also have their full.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Strengths mid is it? Yeah, Yeah, it's a lighter, a lighter.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Do you like hardcore? You like like beer like you're
licking a bag of hops?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yeah, exactly. Enough about my sex life. But as my
brother in law says, you know, it takes you longer
to become a dickhead. And that's the thing. If I'm
going to a function and there's a big day of drinking.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
So you get what twenty minutes before it hits you.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yeah, I'll balance out my usual beers with maybe a
couple of blackfish, and it's good if you're driving, if
you're going somewhere, you can have a few of those
and you're okay. That's not the problem. Though. The company
has been accused of going woke with a controversial campaign,
so Great Northern Brewing has vowed to match donations under
two hundred thousand dollars when customers give to the Foundation
(12:51):
for National Parks and Wildlife.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Who would complain about that, there's nothing woke about supporting
the environment.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
They're aiming to raise money to support new national parks.
The move has struck a chord with outdoor enthusiasts, as
national parks are more restrictive than state parks and make
it harder to camp and bring the family dog. Great
Northern has pitched at people that like going fall driving
(13:18):
and camping. All their ads are pretty much like that,
but particularly in places like Victoria, they're locking down those
national parks and people just don't get their fall drive
and go barging through national parks. They might have done
that in the seventies and eighties, but a lot of
the full drive community are very mindful of the environment.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
And now they're still being locked out and.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
They're being locked out of these parks. And the problem
with that is you've got eyes in the national Park.
People can see where you know, if a fire has
started or something like that. So it's not a bad
thing to have people going in our parks.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Is that the ad campaign where the guys are all
individually camping and fishing and they all meet up because
someone opens a bottle of bits.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Exactly and they send some bottoms down the river to
the next people.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
There's it's not woke, it's an irony in a hypocrisy.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
It's a woke irony.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
It's a hypocrisy, a irony.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Yeah, So the.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Virtue signaling is that what they're saying, all this company
has got to.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Stop doing this. Just stop it, just stop it stop.
Just stop virtue signaling. Just let people work it out
for themselves. You're only doing yourself.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
No, that's not no, because most companies today it's not
about advertising on a billboard. It's about the PR war.
So this is how you market now by having a
PR war.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
The pr war is gone against them.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
This time, but not always. When you say companies stop,
this is how companies now advertising your audience. Yeah, except
that this time it's not working.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
If Great Northern said you can win an aluminium boat,
a tinny and an outboard motor and an eski, yeah,
that's a great prize. But giving money to National parks
who are lock these people out understand of the park.
You know, according to the National Parks people, you wouldn't
be able to put a six pack of beer in
a river and let it float downstream? Would you to
give to your match?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Is what their ad campaign is.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
So.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Leone Blackwell, who runs the Facebook page Victorians against the
Great Forest National Park, said that gen d Great nor
the Bitter Beer would be regretting their decision. It's really
disappointing the major companies like that are blindly buying into
supporting issues without really understanding the full context of the impact.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Don't get the r of a Facebook page, don't do it.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Back to my soup.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Want a beer?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yeah, Lona's not great. No, it's too watery. What's on
the cutting room floor today, Amanda.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Well, some interesting legislation that's been put forward by a
Mississippi lawmaker. Oh they call this, don't They call their
senators and things lawmakers?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Yeah, I like it. It's a bit like Judge Dread.
Judge Dread though his gun was the lawmaker? Did you
like Judge Dreds?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
See an actual judge? I've never watched or seen it
or read it.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
In Mega City one in the three thousand.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I'm just going to leave the room. Tell me when
you finished talking.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Good, she's gone. Now we can talk about Judge Tread
in three thousand AD. There's no more police because there's
no time to do it. So the law enforcement officers
are executioner or police officer. Judge and executioner?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Where's judge Judy fit In? Are you got no answer
for the back?
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Then? I now are your back? Well?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
This is interesting because a lot of the anti abortion
movement in the States focuses on the women. Yeah, and
it may surprise you to hear that men are fifty
percent involved in this. So this Mississippi state lawmaker has
introduced a law that bans males self pleasuring themselves. He's
obviously doing this as a look. If you're want to
(17:04):
be extreme, I'll be extreme. He's a Democrat State Senator.
This legislation would make it unlawful for a man to
self pleasure quote without the intent to first fertilize an embryo,
because women now are responsible for all their own contraception,
it seems. And if you get pregnant, then you are
not allowed to have an abortion, although there is no
(17:26):
financial assistance for you to raise that baby. So he's
criticizing anti abortion measures that only focus on women. So
this bill has been dubbed the Constriction Contraception Begins at
direction Act is what's called it, right, the first penalty
would be one thousand dollars, the second time five ten
thousand for every subsequent offense, he says. All across the country,
(17:47):
especially here in Mississippi, the vast majority of bills relating
to contraception and or abortion focus on the women's role
when men are fifty percent of the equation. So how
would you go Because the whole point here is if
you are going to ejaculate, then you have to be
(18:07):
responsible for that actually being a potential life force, and
you'll be fined if you don't use it as a lot.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Of course, I'd have to go and consult my bank.
I have a good word with the.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Bank manager in that conversation. We only see that in
one of those ads where they're looking to screen and
there there's your long term deposit bank. I wasn't going
to say bank bank and yourank bank. Yeah, well, it's curious,
it's curious. And what about this? This is interesting too
because the White House has now decreed there are only
two accepted sexes and that your sex is determined at conception.
(18:42):
So what they're saying here is, well, if that's the case,
every single person in America is now legally classified as female.
Because all embryos begin by developing female sex organs as.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Well as it's the x y xx chromosome thing.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
And we'll well, the male sex organs only begin placing
them that begin forming at around six weeks after gestation
of gestation, so at the time of conception, all embryos
are female. So if people are going to go to
the Bible for all their stuff, they're going to look
at these laws. Let's take them to the extreme, shall we.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
It's crazy, isn't When you look at the sexes and
you look at how we're here. You know, we're all
part of just microns, aren't we? Really, we're all the
specs in the universe.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I think we're more important than that.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
We are families, Chris, we exist in this world.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Do you have a look down at an ancenesty and
you just look down at that ancest and you say, well,
you know, how long is that? What's their life cycle?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
The antnest But they don't have conscious thought. But I
have the same feeling when I fly over something. I'm
in an airplane. You think every person down there has
a life. That's important. People that love them. They are
suffering things, they are loving things, a rich sense of life.
And I've spoken about this before, the words sonda. That
means the gradual coming to the gradual realization that everyone
(20:03):
is living a complex life. True, and we all are
living complex lives. And most of us, I would say,
are just trying to get along, to love each other,
do a good job, have enough money to live and
get along. We cloud it with so much other stuff, a.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Lot of decades down there too. As you're flying over.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Sure, but you're under the flight path. That's what the
ants say. Look up there, look at that idiot.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Okay, kids, that's it for today. That was John Senior,
airman that's cutting room floor. Come back down, fly some more.
Hey, yeah, everybody, Amanda cutting room full floor.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Hey, hey everybody, it's time for Jonesy and Amanda's coming
room fla.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
It's the cunning room floor. Gay yay. It's Jonesy and
Amanda's cutting room floor. Yayyay. Hello, it's our podcast. As
he stifles a yawn.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
It's not stifling. It was just full on you. I
saw the back of your gums.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
It's not because of anything you've said, my friend. I
have never been bored by you in my life. There
was one time, just the one what's on the party?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Are you on the potty? I've saw this very interesting
a series of statistics, and it really makes you humble
and grateful to be here, to be born. So when
you yell at your parents, I don't know us to
be born. Yeah, So many extraordinary things have to be
in place for you to have a war a place
in the universe. It's quite mind blowing. Let me take
(01:02):
you through it. In order to be born, you need
two parents, four grandparents, eight great grandparents, sixteen great great
grandparents thirty two third great grandparents sixty four, fourth great
grandparents one hundred and twenty five fifth great grandparents. I
(01:24):
won't go through all the numbers, because you'll get bored. Okay,
five hundred and twelve seventh great grandparents, one and twenty
four eighth great grandparents, and two thousand and forty eight
ninth great grandparents over twelve generations spanning approximately four hundred years.
You needed a total of four thousand and ninety four
(01:45):
ancestors for you to come into exist, and not just
the people at the numbers. But as it says here,
we are the result of thousands of lives, choices, and
sacrifices that came before us, and also the lucky ones
who some fell by the wayside, through famine, through war,
(02:06):
through all kinds of things. We are the result of
the survivors and as they say here, the sacrifices they
made to have children. It's extraordinary, isn't it It is?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
That's amazing. Yeah, how did we get here?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Well? Do you write cards to them all?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Well? I was just thinking, there's some booty come on
my way from my ninth great great great grand parents,
because there's four thousand of.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Them, I know, but they also probably have four thousand descendants.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yeah, and you know how I recently became a grandfather.
I was holding my little grandson the other day, and
he's two weeks old. There was a world where he
didn't exist. Two weeks ago, he didn't exist.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Do you wonder what you talked about before the baby
came along? That's all you look at now. So I'm
going to get a dog. I think, what did we
ever talk about the dog?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
My mate Dave, he recently became a grandfather as well,
up to it, said how are you going? Are excited
about the imminent baby arrival? And he said, it's just
baby this and baby that. That's always women talk about.
And then they sent you a picture of him holding
his crandchild. Of course baby this.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, everyone falls for the and rightly so those big
gougye eyes that this is what this is about. The
passing on of your gems, and the sacrifices you made
for you to have Morgan, for Morgan to meet Zoey,
the sacrifices her parents made, for all of that to
come together to create the uniqueness of that human individual.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
In the world. There's good individuals and bad individuals, you know,
like out of Hitler.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I don't think your children have given birth to the antiquy.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
No, I'm just saying that Adolf Hitler. His parents would
have loved him and thought he was great and all
that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Well, they say, hey, you're going to be your son's
going to be the leader of Germany.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Is it? How wonderful is that ib has some sort
of rakish mustache rangement like his mother?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
But this, this goes on to say, this reminds us
of how precious and unique our existence is, a gift
shaped by generations of ancestors. We should remember to honor
their legacy by living with purpose, honor, and gratitude.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
But you look at how we're here today, You and I.
We've been doing this for a long time now. But
the very genesis of our radio show started in nineteen
ninety nine when your co host Andrew Denton went sick
and I was called in at the last minute to
fill in. As the opener of the show was playing,
I shut up, said I knew you vaguely. I said, hello,
(04:33):
Amanda and Brendan, your co host today. Imagine Andrew hadn't
gone se Well, every.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Moment of our lives are made up of the sliding doors,
aren't they Indeed? And sometimes the sliding doors go your way,
which has given us our survival, our gift of being alive. Yeah,
and sometimes the sliding doors don't go your way. Stay
away from doors, I think is pretty much the message exactly.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
That's what I think you're saying.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I think so.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I think you would have been spared a lot of
grief had that slide door not gone my way.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
What would my life? I'd be working in a dog sanctuary,
padding labradors all day and loving myself sick.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
And on the medicinal Maryland.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
And you'd be doing midnight to dawns in Kiatha.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I'd be like Harry Jabin and w O d.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
We all have our journeys.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Are you ready for law? It's time to check out
what's on the cutting room floor.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
This is a story we didn't get to today. It's
a story about a German Man who lived underwater for
one hundred and twenty days. Wow, to set a world record.
That's that's like a third of a year, is it, Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I guess it is. Yeah, it would be. Was he
in some sort of pod.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah, so this is the record for the longest time
I'm living underwater without depressurization. He was in He was
in a submerged capsule off the coast of Panama. This
guy's fifty nine years old. There were four cameras in
the capsule to record his daily life and to make
sure that his mental health was okay. I don't know
(06:16):
how you tell if it's not. Start explaying Joe Dalcy
on repeat.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Possibly should have checked his mental health before he went
down there.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
But also they want to check that he never came
to the surface. Incredible, isn't it. He said, he kind
of missed it. He said, it was a great adventure.
It's over, but there's a sense of regret. I enjoyed
my time there very much. The beautiful way that things
calm down when it gets dark and the sea is glowing.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Well, it's like being up in space those people in
the space stations.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
But they don't just go up there and sit there.
They've got work to do. They're working side side.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Okay, have you measured the microns and the space dosts?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
That report on my desk by nine, Get in from
your space walk and put that report on my desk.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Because those guys are the oldmate work from home people.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah, I guess so, and we have cameras on them
all the time. But you and I know what it's
like to live underwater for a period of time. We
broke the world record, the Guinness World Record for doing
the longest radio show underwater.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Not the realest. We're not the longest radio show. If
you put us end to end up against other radio.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Shows, would we would we even out? See some radio
shows have six people. That's fun long. You could put
some breakfast shows into end and they'll get to the moon.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
No, it's like a human centipede over.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
So what we did was we did a three hour
show in the shark tank at Sydney Aquarium underwater, and
that we were told that thanks to Guinness World Records.
They said we could come up to do to go
to the toilet or whatever. But we chose not to
because we just got to We just didn't have time.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
In the tank.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
So did you didn't you?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
No?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Oh, that's a shame. We just had to we ourselves
in front of the shark.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
We you weed yourself. I thought you were a bit
hard when you met the CEO out of the tank
and good as well.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
It's quite liberating, but remember how awful it was because
we had to wear these full face masks and any
seepage that came in you'd get salt water in your eyes,
your ears would throb, and the lead up to it
was hugely, hugely traumatic. I really had a hard time wait.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
In the old days, at our old building, we had
a swimming pool on the roof of the building.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
And we thought we'd practiced their technology, and you were
so rude and so dismissive. It took me about an
hour to get this before my replacement. To get in
and out of the wet suit. I had plastic bags
over my hands to try and get into the wet suit.
It was so hard, and you were so dismissive.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I wasn't dismissive. It's just what happened was you just
complained endlessly.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
The whole point was to see if the equipment worked,
and you didn't want to hear, and I did want
to hear. We weren't aware of it, but we were
being recorded the whole time, and we actually had an
underwater fight.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
I am.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Anyone, but we played that for James Cameron, the mastermind
behind Titanic. He got the idea for only one of
you can fit on the desk and an avatar, and
he just laughed his head off at that, thinking crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Well, he knows how crazy you were.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
You had no sympathy. But when it came to do it,
the only way that my ears weren't going to throb.
You know that terrible feeling you get one of the
car windows is open when you drive along, that awful
compression feeling. I had to lie like a salamander on
the bottom of the fish tank, of the fish tank,
the aquarium. I just lie on the bottom. Was the
(09:47):
only way I could.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Do it, because a lot of people could come in
and watch it. The aquarium and that's the lemon sharks,
that's fish. Let's seem the bottom.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
You and I don't pretend that I look worse than you.
We looked at the photo and couldn't tell which one
of us was rich. So much squishing and weirdness going on.
And when we came out they interviewed us with all
the radio people go yeah, yeah, yeah. Our boots were
just filled with water.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yes, mixed and other stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
I reckon you weed, I reckon you weed. So next up,
why don't we try and do how many one hundred
and twenty days we've done? Three hours?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
What's the diffre on the implosion? It's time for the
cutting room for Sorry, it's time. I was distracted because
I just got a spoon for my soup.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
We're drinking cup of soups.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Yep, and just made these our executive producer, and that's not.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Let's go back a step. I bought them at the shop, okay,
just int the very kindness that she'd make them for us.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yep. And then she brought the soups in. And she's
a very busy woman. So we do want to say
to her, are.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
You forgotting you put a spoon?
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Because I just can't drink a soup without a spoon.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I'm always angry. It's just that there'll be minerals that haven't. Yeah,
you know, dissolve you don't want the minerals. We're having
basic tomato, which I think is the best you can
put fancy pants stuff in there. Yeah, just give me
basic tomato.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
In its poundered form. It's very irridescent, eridescent, pink. Would
you say.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I don't how many tomatoes were harmed in the making
of this.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I think they're all pretty safe. It's quietly. On the
other we're talking about flavor enhances. A six y two
to one, Oh wow, what a star. Different kettle of fish. No,
we're not talking about that. Do you do you like beer?
You like beer?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I don't know how long have you known me, Brendan.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
You like to have us.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Have you known me? When? Have you ever seen me
drink a bottle of beer?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Sometimes you've said col a beer.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Money when my drinks are run out and I'm desperate.
But I've never drunk, drunk, drinken a glass of beer
or a bottle of beer. It's not my thing.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Great Northern Beer is a very popular beer.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I think my son's drinking.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
A lot of the kids call it the Blackfish because.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
There's a picture on the front, a black marlin on it.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I'm not a fan of it because it's a bit watery.
It's a good minstre beer is my brother in law says.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
It's not all mid strength. They also have their full.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Strengths mid is it? Yeah, Yeah, it's a lighter, a lighter.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Do you like hardcore? You like like beer like you're
licking a bag of hops?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yeah, exactly. Enough about my sex life. But as my
brother in law says, you know, it takes you longer
to become a dickhead. And that's the thing. If I'm
going to a function and there's a big day of drinking.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
So you get what twenty minutes before it hits you.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yeah, I'll balance out my usual beers with maybe a
couple of blackfish, and it's good if you're driving, if
you're going somewhere, you can have a few of those
and you're okay. That's not the problem. Though. The company
has been accused of going woke with a controversial campaign,
so Great Northern Brewing has vowed to match donations under
two hundred thousand dollars when customers give to the Foundation
(12:51):
for National Parks and Wildlife.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Who would complain about that, there's nothing woke about supporting
the environment.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
They're aiming to raise money to support new national parks.
The move has struck a chord with outdoor enthusiasts, as
national parks are more restrictive than state parks and make
it harder to camp and bring the family dog. Great
Northern has pitched at people that like going fall driving
(13:18):
and camping. All their ads are pretty much like that,
but particularly in places like Victoria, they're locking down those
national parks and people just don't get their fall drive
and go barging through national parks. They might have done
that in the seventies and eighties, but a lot of
the full drive community are very mindful of the environment.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
And now they're still being locked out and.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
They're being locked out of these parks. And the problem
with that is you've got eyes in the national Park.
People can see where you know, if a fire has
started or something like that. So it's not a bad
thing to have people going in our parks.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Is that the ad campaign where the guys are all
individually camping and fishing and they all meet up because
someone opens a bottle of bits.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Exactly and they send some bottoms down the river to
the next people.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
There's it's not woke, it's an irony in a hypocrisy.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
It's a woke irony.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
It's a hypocrisy, a irony.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Yeah, So the.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Virtue signaling is that what they're saying, all this company
has got to.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Stop doing this. Just stop it, just stop it stop.
Just stop virtue signaling. Just let people work it out
for themselves. You're only doing yourself.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
No, that's not no, because most companies today it's not
about advertising on a billboard. It's about the PR war.
So this is how you market now by having a
PR war.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
The pr war is gone against them.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
This time, but not always. When you say companies stop,
this is how companies now advertising your audience. Yeah, except
that this time it's not working.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
If Great Northern said you can win an aluminium boat,
a tinny and an outboard motor and an eski, yeah,
that's a great prize. But giving money to National parks
who are lock these people out understand of the park.
You know, according to the National Parks people, you wouldn't
be able to put a six pack of beer in
a river and let it float downstream? Would you to
give to your match?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Is what their ad campaign is.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
So.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Leone Blackwell, who runs the Facebook page Victorians against the
Great Forest National Park, said that gen d Great nor
the Bitter Beer would be regretting their decision. It's really
disappointing the major companies like that are blindly buying into
supporting issues without really understanding the full context of the impact.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Don't get the r of a Facebook page, don't do it.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Back to my soup.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Want a beer?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yeah, Lona's not great. No, it's too watery. What's on
the cutting room floor today, Amanda.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Well, some interesting legislation that's been put forward by a
Mississippi lawmaker. Oh they call this, don't They call their
senators and things lawmakers?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Yeah, I like it. It's a bit like Judge Dread.
Judge Dread though his gun was the lawmaker? Did you
like Judge Dreds?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
See an actual judge? I've never watched or seen it
or read it.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
In Mega City one in the three thousand.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I'm just going to leave the room. Tell me when
you finished talking.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Good, she's gone. Now we can talk about Judge Tread
in three thousand AD. There's no more police because there's
no time to do it. So the law enforcement officers
are executioner or police officer. Judge and executioner?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Where's judge Judy fit In? Are you got no answer
for the back?
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Then? I now are your back? Well?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
This is interesting because a lot of the anti abortion
movement in the States focuses on the women. Yeah, and
it may surprise you to hear that men are fifty
percent involved in this. So this Mississippi state lawmaker has
introduced a law that bans males self pleasuring themselves. He's
obviously doing this as a look. If you're want to
(17:04):
be extreme, I'll be extreme. He's a Democrat State Senator.
This legislation would make it unlawful for a man to
self pleasure quote without the intent to first fertilize an embryo,
because women now are responsible for all their own contraception,
it seems. And if you get pregnant, then you are
not allowed to have an abortion, although there is no
(17:26):
financial assistance for you to raise that baby. So he's
criticizing anti abortion measures that only focus on women. So
this bill has been dubbed the Constriction Contraception Begins at
direction Act is what's called it, right, the first penalty
would be one thousand dollars, the second time five ten
thousand for every subsequent offense, he says. All across the country,
(17:47):
especially here in Mississippi, the vast majority of bills relating
to contraception and or abortion focus on the women's role
when men are fifty percent of the equation. So how
would you go Because the whole point here is if
you are going to ejaculate, then you have to be
(18:07):
responsible for that actually being a potential life force, and
you'll be fined if you don't use it as a lot.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Of course, I'd have to go and consult my bank.
I have a good word with the.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Bank manager in that conversation. We only see that in
one of those ads where they're looking to screen and
there there's your long term deposit bank. I wasn't going
to say bank bank and yourank bank. Yeah, well, it's curious,
it's curious. And what about this? This is interesting too
because the White House has now decreed there are only
two accepted sexes and that your sex is determined at conception.
(18:42):
So what they're saying here is, well, if that's the case,
every single person in America is now legally classified as female.
Because all embryos begin by developing female sex organs as.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Well as it's the x y xx chromosome thing.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
And we'll well, the male sex organs only begin placing
them that begin forming at around six weeks after gestation
of gestation, so at the time of conception, all embryos
are female. So if people are going to go to
the Bible for all their stuff, they're going to look
at these laws. Let's take them to the extreme, shall we.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
It's crazy, isn't When you look at the sexes and
you look at how we're here. You know, we're all
part of just microns, aren't we? Really, we're all the
specs in the universe.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I think we're more important than that.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
We are families, Chris, we exist in this world.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Do you have a look down at an ancenesty and
you just look down at that ancest and you say, well,
you know, how long is that? What's their life cycle?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
The antnest But they don't have conscious thought. But I
have the same feeling when I fly over something. I'm
in an airplane. You think every person down there has
a life. That's important. People that love them. They are
suffering things, they are loving things, a rich sense of life.
And I've spoken about this before, the words sonda. That
means the gradual coming to the gradual realization that everyone
(20:03):
is living a complex life. True, and we all are
living complex lives. And most of us, I would say,
are just trying to get along, to love each other,
do a good job, have enough money to live and
get along. We cloud it with so much other stuff, a.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Lot of decades down there too. As you're flying over.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Sure, but you're under the flight path. That's what the
ants say. Look up there, look at that idiot.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Okay, kids, that's it for today. That was John Senior,
airman that's cutting room floor. Come back down, fly some more.
