Speaker 1 (00:04):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
On the cutting room floor. Good news for your friend.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (00:19):
The city killer asteroid that could hit Earth in twenty
thirty two is not going to happen now, Oh it's good.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
So the people are running the Brisbane Olympia's are gotting Oh.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Bugger well, I'm hoping they'd use that as an out.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
We'll get out of it because we're not going to
build a stadium because a city killer asteroid is coming
towards us and there's a good chance it might hit Brisbane.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
So has it just disintegrated in space?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
No? No, no, no, no, it's still out there.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
The city killer asteroid it was, it's called twenty twenty
four year four. It was discovered in December twenty twenty
four and it had a three percent chance of hitting the.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Earth in twenty thirty two.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Scientists have now said it's got an he's zero chance
of striking Earth.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
So look, we're gonn all relaxcept for Brisbane. As I
said just before, it's.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
A funny three percent chance.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
If you heard you had a three percent chance of
winning the lottery, would you think they were good odds
or not?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Would you think like would you panic?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:12):
You had three percent chance of it hitting the Earth.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Well, it's certainly cause for alarm, don't you think you know?
But you don't know about anything in this life.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
You don't know. You get into the odds and things
like that.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Yeah, yeah, I will say this though, what so it's
not it's not going to hit Earth again, but but
there's a fair chance that it could hit the moon.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Now, I don't know what you know about the moon, but.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
It's made of cheese and there's a man in the moon.
That's all I know.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Okay, so you're you're an expert. I can see.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
But if it does hit the moon, what happens. Well,
there's a few things that could happen. It could blow
the moon up. And I was just thinking if the
moon went, the moon controls all our tides, all our waters.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Also about my ankle waters.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Also, Well, I don't know. So I've done a little
bit of research here. You'd be pleased. No, So without
the moon. I just googled this. By the way, it's
like when you google whoever was here before? How do
you hide a body? I was just joking, So I
googled this under how do you hide a body?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Actually, there's some good ideas in there. Really, if you
ever were, do.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
You know what you're supposed to do. Don't just push
one out to the water. If you go to do that,
take a screwdriver and drive it through various parts of
the torso so that it will release the gases and
it can sink.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Okay, well, at least we've worked out who typed in,
how do you find a body? Without the moon, earth happens,
Earth's tides would be much smaller, So.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
They wouldn't disappear, they just be smaller.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Just be smaller.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Well, that's not very dramatic.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Its axis tilt would become unstable, leading to how.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
The Earth's axis tilt, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Yeah, leading to extreme climate variations and seasons and days
would be shorter.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
So would it be like having complete vertigo? Would go
way from one side to the other.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
No, I don't know about that, because you know we're
on the axis. So the world spins, bin spin.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
You know, you look at your globe in your office,
go and have a look at that.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Don't have to smoke a pipeline in there.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Right, Okay, So without the moon, the tide would be
significantly weaker, about forty percent of their current strength.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
What do make of it?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Well, well, you'll have to google that some other time.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
I'd imagine this would have a major impact on coastal
ecosystems and communities.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
That rely on tides for various activities.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
So if I want to go for a windsurf on
that sandbar, that might ruin it for me.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Oh that way, I'm dreadful.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Let's old whole townships would be wiped out. But if
you can't go for a windsurf, that would be disastrous.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
So the Earth's axis tilt the Moon to help stabilize
Earth's axle tilt, which currently sits at about twenty three
point five degrees. Without the Moon, this til could vary erratically,
leading to extreme climate changes.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Don't we have that now already?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
This could result in periods with no seasons or periods
with extreme seasonal variations, potentially leading to ice ages or
periods of extreme heat.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
So why am I buying a stupid electric car? Then?
If this can just happen with the.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Moon, what are the chances of hitting the moon? What
have they said?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
It doesn't actually say that.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
I'm afraid, so be alarmed, but don't know the details.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
The length of day, Well, no, I'm just happy that
the main game Earth isn't being hit the main game.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
That's what we're on right now.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
Okay, But now as you know that sometimes you won't
be able to go windsurfing, it's a big deal to you.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Well, I've just mastered it, you see.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
You know there's only a few things in this world
that I haven't been able to master. Oh come on, no, really,
there's only a few things, TV, mats, maths, forget mass
fun stuff, TV and windsurfing, and I've rounded the corner
of my windsurfing our length of day. The Moon's gravitational
pool also has a slight effect on slowing down Earth's rotation,
(05:14):
So what would happen Without the moon, Earth's rotation would
speed up, potentially leading to shorter days. Some estimates suggest
days could be as short as six to twelve hours.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
So we'd have sun up, lunchtime, go to bed, all
within that short period of time.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I'd be quite happy with that. Look sounds quite attractive.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
It would take it take a lot of pressure off
other things that you do.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
I'd have to have a lot of I'd have to
have my meals close together to get three in.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
And your work day and sex. That'll be quicker. I'm
already practicing for that. That'll also be.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
No more lunar or solar eclipses. What are the incomes
going to do?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
They're not going to be able to sacrifice anyone anymore if.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
They could find a virgin.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
What has ended up on our cutting room floor today, Amanda?
Speaker 5 (06:10):
It's an interesting one. They're saying that the new infidelity trend.
What's the old infidelity trend? Just having it off with
someone outside your relationship? The new one is micro cheating.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Micro cheating?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Sometimes you hear these stories about how women feel their
boyfriends are cheating if they like someone else's photograph, if
it's a bikini shot, or if it's a girl who
they feel uncomfortable about and he's watched seeing their social media.
Where do you draw the line on something like that?
On direct messages, you may not feel that you're cheating
(06:48):
by doing it, but your partner may perceive it that way.
How does this work in your relationship? Is Helen a
big social media person?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
No?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Not?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Was? She's on X a lot. She's in a big
silo with that, but she's not.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Would she know if you were liking bikini models photographs.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
I would never like a bikini models photograph. My daughter
has a friend Sam, who's lovely. She's got this business
called Pina Kala, Pina Koalakini's or something like bikini.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
It's a bikini business. So she's made it.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
And then there's a lot of pictures, like she's now
twenty eight, there's a lot of pictures of her parading
around in bikinis.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
But and I follow her.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
I'm supporting the business, and I've known the kids since
she was like fourteen, So I never like if there's
something about her business. My business has just done this
and it's doing really well. And it's a picture of
her sending out bikinis. I like that, But I won't
pick like a picture of her walking down the beach
in some sort of g string bikinis.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
You think, you say that, I've got a lot of
a number of male friends who have their friend's daughters
are now using lots of pictures of themselves and they
feel very uncomfortable about it. But me, you're looking at
Robert Irwin's photographs over the week, Yes, and again and
again and again, yes, and so micro cheating is what
(08:06):
it is that some people consider it a form of
infidelity because you're building a bond with someone one a
ruga emoji at a time. How would you feel if
Helen formed an emotional attachment to someone at work or
at the school, or somewhere in her life that you
feel nothing's happening, but they were getting close to a
(08:28):
neighbor or something.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
You know, it's hard to say because Helen's.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Is there anything short of cheating? Cheating?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Look, I think sex is cheating, That's what I mean.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
That's anything short of that not cheating?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
No, I think like like flirting online. Actually I don't know,
because Helen doesn't do it.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
How do you know?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Well, I don't know. I don't know, and I don't check,
and really do you want to know?
Speaker 5 (08:49):
But if it's say like someone had a neighbor and
they were spending some time with them, and you've like,
is it cheating? If you feel a bit crushy on somebody,
you wouldn't tell your partner that.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Now I'd be outraged he keep that to yourself? Are
you allowed to have your like?
Speaker 5 (09:06):
I see often blogs with people saying that's how it starts.
You can't afford to have a single feeling about someone.
But We're all in workplaces. We all have emotions. You
can't shut down all of your emotions. It's how you
manage them and where you draw the line. And what
they're saying here, I guess is you may not be
drawing the line and the same place your partner is.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Yeah, it's real man woman's staff, isn't it? Because men
like I would never have transactional sex. I'm not a
transactional sex kind of guy, you know what I mean.
I've been a relationship for a long time, and you know,
I had a couple of one night stands when I
was age.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
I was going to say recently.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Eighties DJ and that was the last time. So I've
never had. All the sex I've had is meaningful sex,
you know, in my life.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
But would you feel would your how would you feel
about a crushy?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
How would your wife feel if you had a crushy?
How would you feel if Helen had a crushy?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Oh? She she has. She's told me.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
About that, really, she tells you about it.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
As she said, there was a few things, you know.
I remember there was a builder that she was working
was working on the house, and you know, she was
always a bit you know, flirty with him. I didn't
feel threatened by it.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
If you told her something similar, what would happen.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
There was a one time we're out to dinner and
this waitress, for some reason I didn't notice it, but
Helen reckoned. Helen called her Jiggly Tits. Waitress kept coming over,
and you know, while I was ever tired, and she
didn't talk to Helen in any way. It was always
to me. And she said, look at Jiggly Tits. She's
coming back. She's doing And I said, and I didn't
(10:45):
even Honestly, I did not notice. I didn't even see it.
I didn't sure.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I wasn't until she pointed out.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Because I've been with you where people might come to
you and you say afterwards, I didn't even know.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
You go, yeah, you have this inner flirtation.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
No, and I know you serious person.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
I know, and I know where you draw the line.
But to other people it may look like you're being flirtatious.
So Jiggly Tits, miss Tits, they may have been taking
cues from you that you're not alway you're giving. When
you said, won't you sit.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Here, that's a wipe in the face. That's not the case.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
That's not the case at all. I think men are
very oblivious about stuff.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
But it's interesting, isn't it that anyway, that is a
new micro cheating. We all draw the line somewhere else,
how like there's some this is a new trend in
America too. It's just kind of if the women who
are saying, my husband can have no female friends. See,
when women say it to men, we think, oh, it's funny.
When men do it to women, it's coercive control and
we don't it. But maybe we should be looking at
(11:50):
it the other way around too.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
And when miss jiggly Teds comes around us to see the.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Special such a giveaway, isn't it to see the specials?
Speaker 3 (12:01):
I'm glad we've resolved nothing.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
It ready, everybody here is some more Georgy.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Hannah Man has got ruve.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
If ready, everybody here is some more georgy hannam.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Man has got.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
On the cutting room floor.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Today, something I saw that was very interesting.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Alyssa Healy, an Australian cricketer, was discussing overarm bowling and
that seems like a natural movement to get speed behind
the ball, et cetera. Yep, well, she said, and this
is true, that a female actually invented overarm bowling. Until
then everyone bowled under arm. This female, Christiana Willis frustrated
(12:47):
with her under arm bowling action because it kept snagging
on her big skirts. She allegedly starting throwing the ball
over her head, leading to the development of overarm bowling
in the eighteen hundreds. Really hiss because if she bowled
under arm, her skirts got in the way. So she
suggested it to her husband, and fifteen years later he
(13:07):
apparently decided this is the best way to go about it,
and everyone started bowling over arm.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Well, it took a while to come across with that
fifteen years later.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
And then he pretended it was his idea. I bet, of.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Course, that's such a man thing to do.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
But all you have.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
To do is say to any New Zealander under arm bowling,
and you will ignite a fire. It's like mentioning rainbow
warrior is the other one.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
They are the two things to set off a kiwi.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
Also, if you say the Australia invented the Pavlova, three things,
actually there's probably ten things. Crowded house, I don't care
whose they are, let it go, but let's go back
to the under arm bowling.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
A trigger warning for any keywis listening.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
This was I'll set the scene.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
It was February nineteen eighty one at the MCG the
third final of the Benson and Hedges World Series Cup.
Now New Zealand had managed to get really close to
the Australian tally. They just needed a six off the
last ball to tie the game.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
And here's what happened two and twenty nine.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
And New Zealand's only hope now is a sixth off
the last ball for a tie. Well at woksterreas if
they're going to bowl under arm off the last.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Ball, they're going to vo and under armed wherever. Believe it.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
That's a disappointing finish, disappointed grime affecting the crowd, boom
and it's all over.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
The fifty overs is here on eight for two hundred
and twenty nine.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
The skipper were everyone was covered in ignomy, not glory.
The skipper was Greg Chapel. He instructed the baller who
happened to be his brother, Trevor Chapel, to ball under
arm and the Australia hated it. New Zealand hated it.
It was everything that people didn't like about cricket. Where
was the sportsmanship and how did they get to that point?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Whether they could the ball under arm? Is that a
well known rule? What was the rule here?
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Is actually Richie bernow because they were wondering it was
unethical but it was legal.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Here is being discussed afterwards by Richie Bernar.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Now one of the New Zealanders are disappointed, and none
of them more disappointed than their skipper, Jeffrey Howe. There
he is now and I know exactly the reason he's
out there. He's played his cricket over in the United
Kingdom with Surry for a number of years. And the
Benson Hedges domestic competition there is a series of rules
designed to make the game flow freely and to avoid
(15:35):
the incidents such as the one that happened here today.
Now there is the relevant rule on page two and
it says that no bowler shall be permitted to bowl
under arm. And that's what Jeffrey Howse is out there
talking to them about. It is not in the Australian
Benson Hedges World Series Cup rules because the administrators.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Didn't put it in.
Speaker 6 (15:56):
I hope they put it in By tomorrow morning. Otherwise
there'll be a lot of for what was a disgraceful
performance out there today red tape.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
And now let's discuss who invented the pavlova?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Hey, everybody hear from morrow? What have we got there
on the cut and room floor today?
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Friend, I've got a story of crazy coincidence, yep, a
giant what are the chances? And a sad what are
the chances? This is the story that apparently sounds impossible,
but it is one hundred percent trip okay. On July eighteen,
nineteen seventy five, a young man called erskine Eben tragically
(16:39):
lost his life when his moped collided with a taxi
in Hamilton and unfortunate I'm reading the story an unfortunate
but not uncommon accident.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
But here's where it gets eerie. Are you ready?
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Lean En Brendon, exactly one year earlier, July eighteenth, nineteen
seventy four, his brother Neville died in the exact same way,
riding the same moped, crashing into the same taxi driven
by the same driver carrying the same passenger on the
(17:15):
same stretch of road. Both boys age seventeen. WHOA, that's
a giant whoa the chilling coincidence, it says, his sparked
a full inquest, ultimately clearing the taxi driver of any wrongdoing.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
How weeds that? And the passenger You think, you know,
this is the opposite of a lucky day for everyone.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
So the odds of that happening?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Do the maths really hard?
Speaker 5 (17:40):
They are so the mystery, they say here, Even though
the taxi driver was cleared of wrongdoing, the mystery refuses
to fade.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Some believe it was a glitch in the matrix.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
No, yeah, the Pete Evans is of the world.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
Yeah right, but maybe maybe in parallel universes there's a
giant glitch because coincidence is like this. Sure they can happen,
but what and they say, Others suspect something more sinister,
theories of fate, deja vous, a planned murder, like why
would you the same passenger that's the that's freezing, same bicyclebed,
(18:18):
same taxi driver, same taxi, same passenger, same.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Place and same date.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
There are a lot of variable family.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
I've not as in any way as amazing as that
when I first got my first radio job.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
I can't imagine this would be anywhere near in Western Australia.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
I landed in Perth and the taxi driver that took
me from the airport to where I was going to
stay before I went on the next flight up to Kartha,
we just got to talking and I talked about radio
and all that sort of stuff from all my hopes
and dreams, and he said, well, good luck with that, mate,
and we had this great chat. We had a really
good chat, me and this guy, and then he said,
(18:57):
good luck. I have to see you a get Two
years later, I've left Catha and I'm now heading home
to take a job in Musclebrook.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
I get out of the off at the airport, I
get into the cab and the guy goes you again.
Two years later, Wow, exactly.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
The same cab, same driver. He said where I After
I said, I've got a new job. I'm going back
to Sydney and he said, oh, well, you got a
boat job on the big time radio. No no, no, Musclebrook,
but you know, to me it was the big time
And and he didn't charge me. He took me and
took me to where I was staying and that was it.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
He said it back.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
See these things can happen, can't they can it can happen?
Speaker 5 (19:38):
Like I went to London and a friend of mine said,
look up my brother and see if I'm going to
do that, And on the last start obliged to better
have a look. And he was living in the flat
underneath where I was staying. And I only knew that
because I saw his name on the on a letter
that was left at the front door.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
What are the chances?
Speaker 5 (19:56):
What are the chances stuff can happen? It's easy for
us say what are the chances as the poor parents
of these two boys?
Speaker 2 (20:02):
But well that's bad chances.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
You want good chances, Like that story of that guy
who won a million dollars. So it was on the lot,
remember this Australian man and then the news crew filmed
him re enacting filling out the lotto form and while
they're filming him, he goes, I've won and they go yeah,
we know.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
He goes, no, I've won again, won again.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
What are the chances? What are the chances?
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Is that what Abba wrote about? So you win again?
Got this song?
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I knew there was a chance you'd bring up some
horrible reference. What are the chances? Everybody?
Speaker 4 (20:40):
It's time for and Amanda's cutting room for.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Everybody. It's time and Amanda's.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Cutting room fall.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
It's the cutting room for here we are on the
cutting room fall. What have we got today, Amanda?
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Well, come up to Eastern I thought maybe we should
look at gluttony, okay, and the downside of over indulging
in sweet trade.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
This is good if we end up with one of
those Christian radio stations.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Or Christian radio christ if with Christian and we could.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
You know, today we're talking about Clutney, which is.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
The one you'd like to talk about. Most of the
seven deadly sins?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Lust probably lust is good. No, it's called not good.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
It's no, it's not good. Averice, greed one aver Also
there was a nice girl's name.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I'm pretty sure Averice is the same as envy, though,
isn't it?
Speaker 6 (21:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:30):
What are they?
Speaker 5 (21:31):
What are the deadly sins? Okay, there's seven? Yeah, Lust, lust, Sluttneytney, sloth, sloth, averice, greed,
covering your neighbour's.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Ass, angryness, and passive aggressiveness. They rounded it out.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
There should be a modern, modern take.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
On Yeah, there should be a seven. Bring up yourself,
being up yourself, definitely. I think that's being a tool
same thing.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Maybe, Yeah, there's a bunch of Well, let me tell
you this.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
This is from a history page what i'd done following
that Swedish King Adolph Frederick died in seventeen seventy one
after eating fourteen cinnamon buns. I had to dive deeper
because I thought, that's a lot of cinnamon buns. But
you shouldn't die after eating fourteen a lot of bread. Well,
do you want to know what else he ate?
Speaker 3 (22:19):
So the whole story is that he had all these
sweet treats and he died.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
But he also ate pocup.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Here's what he died.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
That he had an extremely heavy meal on Shrove Tuesday.
His feast included lobster, caviat, sauer kraut, and lots of champagne.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
But what stood out most was his dessert.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
They say he reportedly had fourteen similar pastries or semia pastries,
cinnamon bun like treats served in hot milk. Later that evening,
he died from what was likely heart failure or a stroke.
He's often remembered and this is beautiful. As a king,
he weighed himself to death. If you're a king, what
would you like to be remembered.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
For being good to the kingdom, being good to the king.
When people say, oh, that King Jonesy, he was good
to the kingdom. Do you see the aqueducts and all
that stuff?
Speaker 3 (23:06):
And so he's not the one who drank himself to death.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
That could be King Jonesy.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Here's another Easter story.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
I like easter stories. Although I would say the rabbits
before you go on to that.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
If I was the king, I'd probably back off the
gluttony a little bit because there's a lot of food
groups that I can't eat together.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Would we know that now?
Speaker 3 (23:26):
We don't know that.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
We didn't know that then Henry the Eighth, even Elton
John ate everything then would make himself sick to eat
again because there was no self restraint.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
That's the point of it. It's not saying, hey, I've
got too much, but there are.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Food groups that disagree with you. I can't eat serfain turf.
It was I think in the wild those two proteins
don't combine.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
What do you think in the wild you're going to
have chocolate m and ms and blue skittles? You eat
those things?
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Well, people do, but not me.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
But servant turf that that gives me trouble.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
I would say to you, leading me to the block,
about to chop my head off for being good to
the kingdom, I'd say, well, you can I last me
or be surfaint turf, because then I'll be willing on
the guillotine.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Because then what if you get a reprieve from the government,
say no, I'm going to die.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Let me discus, I've got to pass a lot of wind.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Well, if you were a king, I think that that's
the whole point is you push through what your body
tells you. In the old days, Yeah, can we move
on to wasca by rabbits?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Back to the rabbits?
Speaker 5 (24:29):
So this is interesting. Napoleon Bonaparte was feared on the battlefield,
as we know. But in eighteen oh seven, maybe only
fifty years after the Swedish King Adolf Frederick ate himself
to death, he faced an enemy he never saw coming,
hundreds of charging rabbits. Hoping to celebrate a recent military victory,
(24:49):
he ordered his chief of staff, Alexandra Bertier to organize
a grand rabbit hunt. So he thought that this would
be great for entertainment. He gathered his men around and
gathered hundreds of rabbits. Instead of fleeing, the rabbits, who
were semi domesticated, charged at him. They overwhelmed him in
(25:10):
a bizarre scene that forced him to retreat. So this
big war heroe terrified in the terrified soldiers all in
the sphere of where he was terrifying. Yeah, my history
is a bit blank terrified of these rabbits. They had
to retreat because the rabbits chased them.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
It's like I might date myself a little bit here,
but you'll certainly know this episode of the Goodies, the
Watership Down one when the rabbits turned on the Goodies.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Yea to remember that?
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the Watership Down. Did you go to
see it at the cinema?
Speaker 5 (25:41):
That Art Garfuncle song was really slow and I thought
everyone thinks it's going to be cute. Am I imagining
they died from mix and mitosis?
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Or was at a joke?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
They just got run over on a country road?
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Did they?
Speaker 2 (25:54):
I'm pretty sure they got run over or shot?
Speaker 3 (25:56):
There was a sadness to it.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Did they die in a spider? Was Charlotte's Web?
Speaker 3 (26:02):
That was the fly?
Speaker 5 (26:04):
We never went to the movies when we were kids.
We never did, but I remember Mum taking me to
see Beatrix Potter, and because I so rarely saw anything,
I thought it was the most exciting thing until I
realized it was boring.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
What a depressing life it was?
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Well, it wasn't a depressing life, but the neighbors took
us to see Born Free. But I don't remember seeing Bambi.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
I don't remember all these movies that have defined a
generation sound of music. I first saw that when I
sad about sixteen. It was on the TV, and my
father and I became synicon slagged it off. I didn't
see any of these. My Auntie said she was going
to take me to see Mary Poppins. I'm still waiting.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
She's in a eighty. I'm still waiting, Artie, Julie, Come.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
On, Auntie Julie.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
These my cinematic experiences were largely Herbie goes.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Yeah. My parents told us to the drive in and then.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
I remember, very vividly we were going to Luna Park
and we got to Luna Park and it was closed.
And I was a nine year old boy and I
had no idea that you could close Luna Park. And
Dad said, okay, mate, well it's closed.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Tantrum, No I couldn't.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
I said, yeah, but when are we going in? No, mate,
it's closed. Those big metal gates under the mouth.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
It's closed.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
He's dad was saying, sorry, everyone, I'll explain it to
him again.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
It's closed.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
So then my cousin said, well, why don't we go
and see a movie. He was a bit older than me,
and the offerings were Rocky or Star Wars. And I
adored my older cousin. He would have been about twelve
when I was nine, so he was my hero. And
he said, yeah, let's see Rocky. I want to see
Rocky and I went yeah. And then they were telling
(27:42):
me a bit. Someone said, is that the one where
he cuts his eyes?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
You know?
Speaker 2 (27:45):
And Rocky he's getting punched so much by Apollo Creed.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
He goes, Mickey, you gotta cut me, you gotta cut me,
and he cuts his eyes so he can see, you know,
the puffiness of the eyes. And that's that freaked me
out a bit. And then my other cousin said, why
don't we go and see Star Wars. That's really good
And I was what's in that? And I said, oh,
it's great. They get munched up by this monster in
this in this swamp, and I don't know if I
want to watch that either, but I remember seeing Star
(28:09):
Wars and that opening scene where the big battle cruiser
comes out and my dad just going Jesus as it came,
and that that sticks with me my whole life.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
One about my movie experiences.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
My brother and I took the train into town to
see a movie and we told we were going in
to see some Bill Cosby film or something, and instead
we saw Alvin Purple.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
What was it? Mother, jugs and speed?
Speaker 5 (28:33):
No, it wouldn't have been that. It was something very
g rated, And instead we saw Alvin Purple. And we
came home and kept making jokes and Mom's finely said,
what movie did you see?
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Is it nothing?
Speaker 2 (28:43):
That was all sex?
Speaker 4 (28:44):
I was all horrible sex, and you saw it your
just boobs and sex, boobs and bush, which was a
theater restaurant of the time.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Happy East to everyone.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Okay, that's a fritzing day. Come back tomorrow for more
Chelsea than Inlanders.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
Kind of
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
On the cutting room floor. Good news for your friend.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (00:19):
The city killer asteroid that could hit Earth in twenty
thirty two is not going to happen now, Oh it's good.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
So the people are running the Brisbane Olympia's are gotting Oh.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Bugger well, I'm hoping they'd use that as an out.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
We'll get out of it because we're not going to
build a stadium because a city killer asteroid is coming
towards us and there's a good chance it might hit Brisbane.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
So has it just disintegrated in space?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
No? No, no, no, no, it's still out there.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
The city killer asteroid it was, it's called twenty twenty
four year four. It was discovered in December twenty twenty
four and it had a three percent chance of hitting the.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Earth in twenty thirty two.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Scientists have now said it's got an he's zero chance
of striking Earth.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
So look, we're gonn all relaxcept for Brisbane. As I
said just before, it's.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
A funny three percent chance.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
If you heard you had a three percent chance of
winning the lottery, would you think they were good odds
or not?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Would you think like would you panic?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:12):
You had three percent chance of it hitting the Earth.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Well, it's certainly cause for alarm, don't you think you know?
But you don't know about anything in this life.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
You don't know. You get into the odds and things
like that.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Yeah, yeah, I will say this though, what so it's
not it's not going to hit Earth again, but but
there's a fair chance that it could hit the moon.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Now, I don't know what you know about the moon, but.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
It's made of cheese and there's a man in the moon.
That's all I know.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Okay, so you're you're an expert. I can see.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
But if it does hit the moon, what happens. Well,
there's a few things that could happen. It could blow
the moon up. And I was just thinking if the
moon went, the moon controls all our tides, all our waters.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Also about my ankle waters.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Also, Well, I don't know. So I've done a little
bit of research here. You'd be pleased. No, So without
the moon. I just googled this. By the way, it's
like when you google whoever was here before? How do
you hide a body? I was just joking, So I
googled this under how do you hide a body?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Actually, there's some good ideas in there. Really, if you
ever were, do.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
You know what you're supposed to do. Don't just push
one out to the water. If you go to do that,
take a screwdriver and drive it through various parts of
the torso so that it will release the gases and
it can sink.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Okay, well, at least we've worked out who typed in,
how do you find a body? Without the moon, earth happens,
Earth's tides would be much smaller, So.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
They wouldn't disappear, they just be smaller.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Just be smaller.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Well, that's not very dramatic.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Its axis tilt would become unstable, leading to how.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
The Earth's axis tilt, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Yeah, leading to extreme climate variations and seasons and days
would be shorter.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
So would it be like having complete vertigo? Would go
way from one side to the other.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
No, I don't know about that, because you know we're
on the axis. So the world spins, bin spin.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
You know, you look at your globe in your office,
go and have a look at that.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Don't have to smoke a pipeline in there.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Right, Okay, So without the moon, the tide would be
significantly weaker, about forty percent of their current strength.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
What do make of it?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Well, well, you'll have to google that some other time.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
I'd imagine this would have a major impact on coastal
ecosystems and communities.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
That rely on tides for various activities.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
So if I want to go for a windsurf on
that sandbar, that might ruin it for me.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Oh that way, I'm dreadful.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Let's old whole townships would be wiped out. But if
you can't go for a windsurf, that would be disastrous.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
So the Earth's axis tilt the Moon to help stabilize
Earth's axle tilt, which currently sits at about twenty three
point five degrees. Without the Moon, this til could vary erratically,
leading to extreme climate changes.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Don't we have that now already?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
This could result in periods with no seasons or periods
with extreme seasonal variations, potentially leading to ice ages or
periods of extreme heat.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
So why am I buying a stupid electric car? Then?
If this can just happen with the.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Moon, what are the chances of hitting the moon? What
have they said?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
It doesn't actually say that.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
I'm afraid, so be alarmed, but don't know the details.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
The length of day, Well, no, I'm just happy that
the main game Earth isn't being hit the main game.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
That's what we're on right now.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
Okay, But now as you know that sometimes you won't
be able to go windsurfing, it's a big deal to you.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Well, I've just mastered it, you see.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
You know there's only a few things in this world
that I haven't been able to master. Oh come on, no, really,
there's only a few things, TV, mats, maths, forget mass
fun stuff, TV and windsurfing, and I've rounded the corner
of my windsurfing our length of day. The Moon's gravitational
pool also has a slight effect on slowing down Earth's rotation,
(05:14):
So what would happen Without the moon, Earth's rotation would
speed up, potentially leading to shorter days. Some estimates suggest
days could be as short as six to twelve hours.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
So we'd have sun up, lunchtime, go to bed, all
within that short period of time.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I'd be quite happy with that. Look sounds quite attractive.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
It would take it take a lot of pressure off
other things that you do.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
I'd have to have a lot of I'd have to
have my meals close together to get three in.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
And your work day and sex. That'll be quicker. I'm
already practicing for that. That'll also be.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
No more lunar or solar eclipses. What are the incomes
going to do?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
They're not going to be able to sacrifice anyone anymore if.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
They could find a virgin.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
What has ended up on our cutting room floor today, Amanda?
Speaker 5 (06:10):
It's an interesting one. They're saying that the new infidelity trend.
What's the old infidelity trend? Just having it off with
someone outside your relationship? The new one is micro cheating.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Micro cheating?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Sometimes you hear these stories about how women feel their
boyfriends are cheating if they like someone else's photograph, if
it's a bikini shot, or if it's a girl who
they feel uncomfortable about and he's watched seeing their social media.
Where do you draw the line on something like that?
On direct messages, you may not feel that you're cheating
(06:48):
by doing it, but your partner may perceive it that way.
How does this work in your relationship? Is Helen a
big social media person?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
No?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Not?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Was? She's on X a lot. She's in a big
silo with that, but she's not.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Would she know if you were liking bikini models photographs.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
I would never like a bikini models photograph. My daughter
has a friend Sam, who's lovely. She's got this business
called Pina Kala, Pina Koalakini's or something like bikini.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
It's a bikini business. So she's made it.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
And then there's a lot of pictures, like she's now
twenty eight, there's a lot of pictures of her parading
around in bikinis.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
But and I follow her.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
I'm supporting the business, and I've known the kids since
she was like fourteen, So I never like if there's
something about her business. My business has just done this
and it's doing really well. And it's a picture of
her sending out bikinis. I like that, But I won't
pick like a picture of her walking down the beach
in some sort of g string bikinis.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
You think, you say that, I've got a lot of
a number of male friends who have their friend's daughters
are now using lots of pictures of themselves and they
feel very uncomfortable about it. But me, you're looking at
Robert Irwin's photographs over the week, Yes, and again and
again and again, yes, and so micro cheating is what
(08:06):
it is that some people consider it a form of
infidelity because you're building a bond with someone one a
ruga emoji at a time. How would you feel if
Helen formed an emotional attachment to someone at work or
at the school, or somewhere in her life that you
feel nothing's happening, but they were getting close to a
(08:28):
neighbor or something.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
You know, it's hard to say because Helen's.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Is there anything short of cheating? Cheating?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Look, I think sex is cheating, That's what I mean.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
That's anything short of that not cheating?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
No, I think like like flirting online. Actually I don't know,
because Helen doesn't do it.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
How do you know?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Well, I don't know. I don't know, and I don't check,
and really do you want to know?
Speaker 5 (08:49):
But if it's say like someone had a neighbor and
they were spending some time with them, and you've like,
is it cheating? If you feel a bit crushy on somebody,
you wouldn't tell your partner that.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Now I'd be outraged he keep that to yourself? Are
you allowed to have your like?
Speaker 5 (09:06):
I see often blogs with people saying that's how it starts.
You can't afford to have a single feeling about someone.
But We're all in workplaces. We all have emotions. You
can't shut down all of your emotions. It's how you
manage them and where you draw the line. And what
they're saying here, I guess is you may not be
drawing the line and the same place your partner is.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Yeah, it's real man woman's staff, isn't it? Because men
like I would never have transactional sex. I'm not a
transactional sex kind of guy, you know what I mean.
I've been a relationship for a long time, and you know,
I had a couple of one night stands when I
was age.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
I was going to say recently.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Eighties DJ and that was the last time. So I've
never had. All the sex I've had is meaningful sex,
you know, in my life.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
But would you feel would your how would you feel
about a crushy?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
How would your wife feel if you had a crushy?
How would you feel if Helen had a crushy?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Oh? She she has. She's told me.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
About that, really, she tells you about it.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
As she said, there was a few things, you know.
I remember there was a builder that she was working
was working on the house, and you know, she was
always a bit you know, flirty with him. I didn't
feel threatened by it.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
If you told her something similar, what would happen.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
There was a one time we're out to dinner and
this waitress, for some reason I didn't notice it, but
Helen reckoned. Helen called her Jiggly Tits. Waitress kept coming over,
and you know, while I was ever tired, and she
didn't talk to Helen in any way. It was always
to me. And she said, look at Jiggly Tits. She's
coming back. She's doing And I said, and I didn't
(10:45):
even Honestly, I did not notice. I didn't even see it.
I didn't sure.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I wasn't until she pointed out.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Because I've been with you where people might come to
you and you say afterwards, I didn't even know.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
You go, yeah, you have this inner flirtation.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
No, and I know you serious person.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
I know, and I know where you draw the line.
But to other people it may look like you're being flirtatious.
So Jiggly Tits, miss Tits, they may have been taking
cues from you that you're not alway you're giving. When
you said, won't you sit.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Here, that's a wipe in the face. That's not the case.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
That's not the case at all. I think men are
very oblivious about stuff.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
But it's interesting, isn't it that anyway, that is a
new micro cheating. We all draw the line somewhere else,
how like there's some this is a new trend in
America too. It's just kind of if the women who
are saying, my husband can have no female friends. See,
when women say it to men, we think, oh, it's funny.
When men do it to women, it's coercive control and
we don't it. But maybe we should be looking at
(11:50):
it the other way around too.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
And when miss jiggly Teds comes around us to see the.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Special such a giveaway, isn't it to see the specials?
Speaker 3 (12:01):
I'm glad we've resolved nothing.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
It ready, everybody here is some more Georgy.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Hannah Man has got ruve.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
If ready, everybody here is some more georgy hannam.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Man has got.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
On the cutting room floor.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Today, something I saw that was very interesting.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Alyssa Healy, an Australian cricketer, was discussing overarm bowling and
that seems like a natural movement to get speed behind
the ball, et cetera. Yep, well, she said, and this
is true, that a female actually invented overarm bowling. Until
then everyone bowled under arm. This female, Christiana Willis frustrated
(12:47):
with her under arm bowling action because it kept snagging
on her big skirts. She allegedly starting throwing the ball
over her head, leading to the development of overarm bowling
in the eighteen hundreds. Really hiss because if she bowled
under arm, her skirts got in the way. So she
suggested it to her husband, and fifteen years later he
(13:07):
apparently decided this is the best way to go about it,
and everyone started bowling over arm.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Well, it took a while to come across with that
fifteen years later.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
And then he pretended it was his idea. I bet, of.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Course, that's such a man thing to do.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
But all you have.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
To do is say to any New Zealander under arm bowling,
and you will ignite a fire. It's like mentioning rainbow
warrior is the other one.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
They are the two things to set off a kiwi.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
Also, if you say the Australia invented the Pavlova, three things,
actually there's probably ten things. Crowded house, I don't care
whose they are, let it go, but let's go back
to the under arm bowling.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
A trigger warning for any keywis listening.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
This was I'll set the scene.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
It was February nineteen eighty one at the MCG the
third final of the Benson and Hedges World Series Cup.
Now New Zealand had managed to get really close to
the Australian tally. They just needed a six off the
last ball to tie the game.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
And here's what happened two and twenty nine.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
And New Zealand's only hope now is a sixth off
the last ball for a tie. Well at woksterreas if
they're going to bowl under arm off the last.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Ball, they're going to vo and under armed wherever. Believe it.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
That's a disappointing finish, disappointed grime affecting the crowd, boom
and it's all over.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
The fifty overs is here on eight for two hundred
and twenty nine.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
The skipper were everyone was covered in ignomy, not glory.
The skipper was Greg Chapel. He instructed the baller who
happened to be his brother, Trevor Chapel, to ball under
arm and the Australia hated it. New Zealand hated it.
It was everything that people didn't like about cricket. Where
was the sportsmanship and how did they get to that point?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Whether they could the ball under arm? Is that a
well known rule? What was the rule here?
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Is actually Richie bernow because they were wondering it was
unethical but it was legal.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Here is being discussed afterwards by Richie Bernar.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Now one of the New Zealanders are disappointed, and none
of them more disappointed than their skipper, Jeffrey Howe. There
he is now and I know exactly the reason he's
out there. He's played his cricket over in the United
Kingdom with Surry for a number of years. And the
Benson Hedges domestic competition there is a series of rules
designed to make the game flow freely and to avoid
(15:35):
the incidents such as the one that happened here today.
Now there is the relevant rule on page two and
it says that no bowler shall be permitted to bowl
under arm. And that's what Jeffrey Howse is out there
talking to them about. It is not in the Australian
Benson Hedges World Series Cup rules because the administrators.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Didn't put it in.
Speaker 6 (15:56):
I hope they put it in By tomorrow morning. Otherwise
there'll be a lot of for what was a disgraceful
performance out there today red tape.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
And now let's discuss who invented the pavlova?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Hey, everybody hear from morrow? What have we got there
on the cut and room floor today?
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Friend, I've got a story of crazy coincidence, yep, a
giant what are the chances? And a sad what are
the chances? This is the story that apparently sounds impossible,
but it is one hundred percent trip okay. On July eighteen,
nineteen seventy five, a young man called erskine Eben tragically
(16:39):
lost his life when his moped collided with a taxi
in Hamilton and unfortunate I'm reading the story an unfortunate
but not uncommon accident.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
But here's where it gets eerie. Are you ready?
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Lean En Brendon, exactly one year earlier, July eighteenth, nineteen
seventy four, his brother Neville died in the exact same way,
riding the same moped, crashing into the same taxi driven
by the same driver carrying the same passenger on the
(17:15):
same stretch of road. Both boys age seventeen. WHOA, that's
a giant whoa the chilling coincidence, it says, his sparked
a full inquest, ultimately clearing the taxi driver of any wrongdoing.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
How weeds that? And the passenger You think, you know,
this is the opposite of a lucky day for everyone.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
So the odds of that happening?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Do the maths really hard?
Speaker 5 (17:40):
They are so the mystery, they say here, Even though
the taxi driver was cleared of wrongdoing, the mystery refuses
to fade.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Some believe it was a glitch in the matrix.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
No, yeah, the Pete Evans is of the world.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
Yeah right, but maybe maybe in parallel universes there's a
giant glitch because coincidence is like this. Sure they can happen,
but what and they say, Others suspect something more sinister,
theories of fate, deja vous, a planned murder, like why
would you the same passenger that's the that's freezing, same bicyclebed,
(18:18):
same taxi driver, same taxi, same passenger, same.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Place and same date.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
There are a lot of variable family.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
I've not as in any way as amazing as that
when I first got my first radio job.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
I can't imagine this would be anywhere near in Western Australia.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
I landed in Perth and the taxi driver that took
me from the airport to where I was going to
stay before I went on the next flight up to Kartha,
we just got to talking and I talked about radio
and all that sort of stuff from all my hopes
and dreams, and he said, well, good luck with that, mate,
and we had this great chat. We had a really
good chat, me and this guy, and then he said,
(18:57):
good luck. I have to see you a get Two
years later, I've left Catha and I'm now heading home
to take a job in Musclebrook.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
I get out of the off at the airport, I
get into the cab and the guy goes you again.
Two years later, Wow, exactly.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
The same cab, same driver. He said where I After
I said, I've got a new job. I'm going back
to Sydney and he said, oh, well, you got a
boat job on the big time radio. No no, no, Musclebrook,
but you know, to me it was the big time
And and he didn't charge me. He took me and
took me to where I was staying and that was it.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
He said it back.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
See these things can happen, can't they can it can happen?
Speaker 5 (19:38):
Like I went to London and a friend of mine said,
look up my brother and see if I'm going to
do that, And on the last start obliged to better
have a look. And he was living in the flat
underneath where I was staying. And I only knew that
because I saw his name on the on a letter
that was left at the front door.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
What are the chances?
Speaker 5 (19:56):
What are the chances stuff can happen? It's easy for
us say what are the chances as the poor parents
of these two boys?
Speaker 2 (20:02):
But well that's bad chances.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
You want good chances, Like that story of that guy
who won a million dollars. So it was on the lot,
remember this Australian man and then the news crew filmed
him re enacting filling out the lotto form and while
they're filming him, he goes, I've won and they go yeah,
we know.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
He goes, no, I've won again, won again.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
What are the chances? What are the chances?
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Is that what Abba wrote about? So you win again?
Got this song?
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I knew there was a chance you'd bring up some
horrible reference. What are the chances? Everybody?
Speaker 4 (20:40):
It's time for and Amanda's cutting room for.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Everybody. It's time and Amanda's.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Cutting room fall.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
It's the cutting room for here we are on the
cutting room fall. What have we got today, Amanda?
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Well, come up to Eastern I thought maybe we should
look at gluttony, okay, and the downside of over indulging
in sweet trade.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
This is good if we end up with one of
those Christian radio stations.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Or Christian radio christ if with Christian and we could.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
You know, today we're talking about Clutney, which is.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
The one you'd like to talk about. Most of the
seven deadly sins?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Lust probably lust is good. No, it's called not good.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
It's no, it's not good. Averice, greed one aver Also
there was a nice girl's name.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I'm pretty sure Averice is the same as envy, though,
isn't it?
Speaker 6 (21:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:30):
What are they?
Speaker 5 (21:31):
What are the deadly sins? Okay, there's seven? Yeah, Lust, lust, Sluttneytney, sloth, sloth, averice, greed,
covering your neighbour's.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Ass, angryness, and passive aggressiveness. They rounded it out.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
There should be a modern, modern take.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
On Yeah, there should be a seven. Bring up yourself,
being up yourself, definitely. I think that's being a tool
same thing.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Maybe, Yeah, there's a bunch of Well, let me tell
you this.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
This is from a history page what i'd done following
that Swedish King Adolph Frederick died in seventeen seventy one
after eating fourteen cinnamon buns. I had to dive deeper
because I thought, that's a lot of cinnamon buns. But
you shouldn't die after eating fourteen a lot of bread. Well,
do you want to know what else he ate?
Speaker 3 (22:19):
So the whole story is that he had all these
sweet treats and he died.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
But he also ate pocup.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Here's what he died.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
That he had an extremely heavy meal on Shrove Tuesday.
His feast included lobster, caviat, sauer kraut, and lots of champagne.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
But what stood out most was his dessert.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
They say he reportedly had fourteen similar pastries or semia pastries,
cinnamon bun like treats served in hot milk. Later that evening,
he died from what was likely heart failure or a stroke.
He's often remembered and this is beautiful. As a king,
he weighed himself to death. If you're a king, what
would you like to be remembered.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
For being good to the kingdom, being good to the king.
When people say, oh, that King Jonesy, he was good
to the kingdom. Do you see the aqueducts and all
that stuff?
Speaker 3 (23:06):
And so he's not the one who drank himself to death.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
That could be King Jonesy.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Here's another Easter story.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
I like easter stories. Although I would say the rabbits
before you go on to that.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
If I was the king, I'd probably back off the
gluttony a little bit because there's a lot of food
groups that I can't eat together.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Would we know that now?
Speaker 3 (23:26):
We don't know that.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
We didn't know that then Henry the Eighth, even Elton
John ate everything then would make himself sick to eat
again because there was no self restraint.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
That's the point of it. It's not saying, hey, I've
got too much, but there are.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Food groups that disagree with you. I can't eat serfain turf.
It was I think in the wild those two proteins
don't combine.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
What do you think in the wild you're going to
have chocolate m and ms and blue skittles? You eat
those things?
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Well, people do, but not me.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
But servant turf that that gives me trouble.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
I would say to you, leading me to the block,
about to chop my head off for being good to
the kingdom, I'd say, well, you can I last me
or be surfaint turf, because then I'll be willing on
the guillotine.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Because then what if you get a reprieve from the government,
say no, I'm going to die.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Let me discus, I've got to pass a lot of wind.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Well, if you were a king, I think that that's
the whole point is you push through what your body
tells you. In the old days, Yeah, can we move
on to wasca by rabbits?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Back to the rabbits?
Speaker 5 (24:29):
So this is interesting. Napoleon Bonaparte was feared on the battlefield,
as we know. But in eighteen oh seven, maybe only
fifty years after the Swedish King Adolf Frederick ate himself
to death, he faced an enemy he never saw coming,
hundreds of charging rabbits. Hoping to celebrate a recent military victory,
(24:49):
he ordered his chief of staff, Alexandra Bertier to organize
a grand rabbit hunt. So he thought that this would
be great for entertainment. He gathered his men around and
gathered hundreds of rabbits. Instead of fleeing, the rabbits, who
were semi domesticated, charged at him. They overwhelmed him in
(25:10):
a bizarre scene that forced him to retreat. So this
big war heroe terrified in the terrified soldiers all in
the sphere of where he was terrifying. Yeah, my history
is a bit blank terrified of these rabbits. They had
to retreat because the rabbits chased them.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
It's like I might date myself a little bit here,
but you'll certainly know this episode of the Goodies, the
Watership Down one when the rabbits turned on the Goodies.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Yea to remember that?
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the Watership Down. Did you go to
see it at the cinema?
Speaker 5 (25:41):
That Art Garfuncle song was really slow and I thought
everyone thinks it's going to be cute. Am I imagining
they died from mix and mitosis?
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Or was at a joke?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
They just got run over on a country road?
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Did they?
Speaker 2 (25:54):
I'm pretty sure they got run over or shot?
Speaker 3 (25:56):
There was a sadness to it.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Did they die in a spider? Was Charlotte's Web?
Speaker 3 (26:02):
That was the fly?
Speaker 5 (26:04):
We never went to the movies when we were kids.
We never did, but I remember Mum taking me to
see Beatrix Potter, and because I so rarely saw anything,
I thought it was the most exciting thing until I
realized it was boring.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
What a depressing life it was?
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Well, it wasn't a depressing life, but the neighbors took
us to see Born Free. But I don't remember seeing Bambi.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
I don't remember all these movies that have defined a
generation sound of music. I first saw that when I
sad about sixteen. It was on the TV, and my
father and I became synicon slagged it off. I didn't
see any of these. My Auntie said she was going
to take me to see Mary Poppins. I'm still waiting.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
She's in a eighty. I'm still waiting, Artie, Julie, Come.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
On, Auntie Julie.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
These my cinematic experiences were largely Herbie goes.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Yeah. My parents told us to the drive in and then.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
I remember, very vividly we were going to Luna Park
and we got to Luna Park and it was closed.
And I was a nine year old boy and I
had no idea that you could close Luna Park. And
Dad said, okay, mate, well it's closed.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Tantrum, No I couldn't.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
I said, yeah, but when are we going in? No, mate,
it's closed. Those big metal gates under the mouth.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
It's closed.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
He's dad was saying, sorry, everyone, I'll explain it to
him again.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
It's closed.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
So then my cousin said, well, why don't we go
and see a movie. He was a bit older than me,
and the offerings were Rocky or Star Wars. And I
adored my older cousin. He would have been about twelve
when I was nine, so he was my hero. And
he said, yeah, let's see Rocky. I want to see
Rocky and I went yeah. And then they were telling
(27:42):
me a bit. Someone said, is that the one where
he cuts his eyes?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
You know?
Speaker 2 (27:45):
And Rocky he's getting punched so much by Apollo Creed.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
He goes, Mickey, you gotta cut me, you gotta cut me,
and he cuts his eyes so he can see, you know,
the puffiness of the eyes. And that's that freaked me
out a bit. And then my other cousin said, why
don't we go and see Star Wars. That's really good
And I was what's in that? And I said, oh,
it's great. They get munched up by this monster in
this in this swamp, and I don't know if I
want to watch that either, but I remember seeing Star
(28:09):
Wars and that opening scene where the big battle cruiser
comes out and my dad just going Jesus as it came,
and that that sticks with me my whole life.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
One about my movie experiences.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
My brother and I took the train into town to
see a movie and we told we were going in
to see some Bill Cosby film or something, and instead
we saw Alvin Purple.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
What was it? Mother, jugs and speed?
Speaker 5 (28:33):
No, it wouldn't have been that. It was something very
g rated, And instead we saw Alvin Purple. And we
came home and kept making jokes and Mom's finely said,
what movie did you see?
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Is it nothing?
Speaker 2 (28:43):
That was all sex?
Speaker 4 (28:44):
I was all horrible sex, and you saw it your
just boobs and sex, boobs and bush, which was a
theater restaurant of the time.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Happy East to everyone.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Okay, that's a fritzing day. Come back tomorrow for more
Chelsea than Inlanders.
