very well.

Him who we caught up with now. That was Paul Stanley.
I shared a radio studio with him at two and
M in Muscle.

Booby and he lives in Tare and his house has
been flooded. We've spoken to him a few days ago
and we're catching up with him again as the cleanup begins.
What does cleanup mean? And how do you even go
about it?

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Today was a very fraud day for you, the twenty
seventh of May. It's your thirty fifth wedding anniversary, and
what you spoke about Harley, who has Parkinson's disease, was
incredibly brave and I just my heart just breaks.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
For both of you.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
I mean it's hard every day, but on an anniversary
it's hard not to look at the years before and
to mark where you are. And you go through this
every day with me too. I come into work and
put one foot in front of the other and it
saves me.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
So yeah, I shared a few thoughts on that.

Indeed, she was a sorority sister.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yeah, and she was kind of interested in maybe joining
the CIA. This is before September eleven, and they like
the cut of her jib. She gets a job with
the CIA and Nick minute she's joining the hunt for
a Salma bin Laden.

Speaker 6 (02:01):
Good good radio. Sorry but of a tone tone twist,
set shoot timing.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
We're on there. It's up with the boding to you, Amanda, Hi,
how are you today? And very well.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
My voice is a bit better. Today's not that. I
went home and once again said nothing to everyone's relief.
Sure had a quiet voice trying to croaky, but I'm.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Okay, you want to continue doing that on today's show?

Speaker 2 (02:26):
What just you know, talk and join in and do
my job and entertain Yes, I'm here to do all
those things. Brendan.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
You know, I don't like to swear on the radio,
but if b This morning, I tried to get on
the ABC I View thing on computer here because I
thought i'd watched media Watch. I haven't watched media Watch
for a while, and I like to see what's going
on with the temperature of the media landscape. The amount
of dick around to get on the free ABC I
View account was beyond the pale.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
I couldn't believe it.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
I put my password in, That password is rejected, so
I got a new password.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Then they said it to my email that never came through.
And this is just to watch a freeview.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
This is the thing the same with us. Well, Hardy
used to be across all of that stuff with us,
so now is not so good at that stuff. So
all that I've battled constantly with wanting to watch anything?
Do you wanting to watch anything? And as you say,
all this free to wear stuff as well, because data
is everything. You now have to even for government SBS, ABC,
for government broadcasting, they mine your data. You can't watch

(03:28):
it unless they have all your details. It's exhausting, it
is exhausting.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
You know, data mining is the new coal. Did you
know that? That's what that's what they say. That's what
they say.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
But my TV aerial at home, my terrestrial aerial has
it's no good, it's blained.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Do you still use it?

Speaker 3 (03:45):
So a dude came around and said, what you do
is you get all the absolutely smart TVs, which I've done.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
And then but now.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
When you switch to TV, I've got about eighteen five
buttons to press.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
I've got about eighteen different remotes.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
The good old days, you just sit on the well.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
When we were young. This is how old are we sound.
There wasn't even a remote. You had to get up
go to the TV. So you watched what was on
because you couldn't be bothered.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah, look at that, it's the.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Mayor of Casterbridge every Sunday night with my parents because
that was what was on.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
And you watched it. I remember watching chips. Yeah, what
a great shape ships commercial.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
My parents watched ABC the Mayor of pastor Bridge give
me a break.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Depressing on a Sunday night, you'd watch Countdown.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
And then the news had come on and it was
just depressing because you knew the weekend it was over.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
It was over.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Once Molly finished a sentence, which took some time.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Watching Young Doctors, that was always mum. We'd have at
the end of Young Doctors and the punch what are
they called? The cliffhangers got more and more ridiculous and
then small and stupid. Once I heard a kettle ball,
he said, I'll get it. That was it. That was
the cliffhanger for the evening. My god, I can't wait
to see what happens tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (04:50):

a year for the guys. They won seven Grammy Awards,

all off, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll
Hall All of Fame.

Speaker 1 (14:01):

Speaker 3 (14:02):
That was also the same year Chad Smith was on

the dramas and they had an.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Old school drum off, the traditional drum off. This is
Chad Smith from Red Hoshny Feathers. That's some good drumming
right there. I know that you're not a fan of
drummers that.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
Is, but you know who's a no slatch on the
kid is well Will Farrell. It's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
And then do you remembers much of the shock of
everyone that guy from Bad Element stepped. That's just shot down.

Speaker 1 (14:53):

Get gem Nations?

Speaker 3 (15:06):
The matha mammoth clean up is underway following the heavy
rains and flooding that reaged tavage damage to the mid.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
North coast there. So what have I had?

Speaker 3 (15:15):
A straight have you had Astralia read o chili peppers,
but Tari was inundated with unprecedented amounts of water.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Last week we caught up with.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
Paul Stanley, not from Kiss, but Paul Stanley, who I
used to work with on the radio at Musclebrook.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
And he lives in Tari.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
His house went underwater, went underwater in twenty twenty two,
and now it's gone underwater again.

Speaker 4 (15:37):
Hello Paul, Oh, hello Jones. Are you good morning, Amanda?

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Hi Paul. We hear that from today seventy Australian Defense
Force personnel is going to be deployed to the area
to help clear the debris, re open roads, et cetera.
Where do you even start with a cleanup? What's the
state of your place? Do you get out of screechy?
What do you do?

Speaker 4 (15:55):
I'm so glad they're coming. Honestly, we need hands on deck,
you know. And I've been hanging for those guys. They
came last time in twenty one, in March twenty one
and are incredible. They had massive big tit trucks and
diggers and whatever else is to grab all the stuff.
But at the moment my place was about half a
meter underwater. It didn't go all the way through, so

(16:17):
some stuff was saved, but a lot of stuff is
just gone. It's incredible the amount of people that have
suffered worse than I have. My house is quite damaged,
so I won't be living in it for a while
and living around with family at the moment and in
a van. So I'm lucky I have a van.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
But is it?

Speaker 2 (16:37):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (16:38):
What's the mud?

Speaker 4 (16:40):
It's logs, it's mud, it's the silt. Is incredible road
based from tracks is I'm on a property right near
the river. It's incredible. The cartage on whatever the word is,
it's hard to describe. But there's so many people that
lived a couple of kilometers away from the river that
were inundated with flood water that are homeless. There's so

(17:04):
much Homelessnesre's so much debris that people are pulling out
of their houses. You have to clean your house pretty
well straight away. We had sixty volunteers. When we could
get in, we had to get in. We couldn't get
in until Saturday. We had big blog movers moving shit
out of the way, Sorry about that, so we could
get into the track. Then we had people trying to
make our track. Volunteers were just pulling stuff out of

(17:26):
my house, out of another house, out of another house,
cleaning all the mud out. We had water tankers with
petrol pumps to be able to hose the houses.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Outsing the inside of your house out, all the electrical stuff.

Speaker 4 (17:41):
Mine was okay, a lot of it's gone. I lost
my fridge, you know, because it was sort of underneath
the water where the motor and stuff is. But a
lot of people have they got everything, absolutely everything. They've
swum out of the flood walls and in a lot
of cases have been rescued. I've seen a lot of
people with helicopters winching them off their roofs with their

(18:03):
pets and things like that. On a lot of vision,
it's just heartache and the clean up because what happens
is the smell of everything as well.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
And do you go back, Paul, this has happened to
you twice. You live near the river. Do you make
different choices now?

Speaker 4 (18:16):
I've got I've got a million dollars years waterfront, Yeah, waterfront,
of course I do. It's a family farm. I mean
my business, the family business. It's a turf farm. It'll
be out of business for twelve months, damage to the turf.
My brother is devastated, but he's a fighter and these
boys who work with him and own the property. I

(18:38):
just rent the house, you know, but I grew up
in it when I was a kid, so.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
It's nice to be back there.

Speaker 3 (18:42):
But still, you know, insurance isn't covering any of that.
Do you need another fridge you I'm going to get
you another fridge.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Yeah, mate, I'll.

Speaker 4 (18:49):
Love a fridge Jonesy, but don't get it yet. Wait
till the powers than.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Kip, thanks for keeping us up. To keep up, please
let us check in.

Speaker 3 (18:59):
Just to make sure that you guys don't aren't abandoned
by the government and let.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
Us know we really yeah sorry, As I said, when
the time comes, let us know what is needed. Because
people want to help.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
They want to help.

Speaker 4 (19:11):
I think if they've got a self maintained accommodation to
get up there. There's websites around the believe where you
can be a volunteer, so they direct you to different
things you need to be fit and able. I think
they'll supply you with bits and pieces that you'll need.
I know there's a lot of things that need to
be pulled out and they're all mud infected and also
very heavy and wet, both mattresses and bedding and clothes

(19:35):
and furniture that's sogging and falling apart. It's the whole
area is a bombshell. It's just incredible. It's horrific. And
the smells. You know that we've had dead animals parked
up against my house, so we've had to get rid of,
you know, it's just sad and a lot of sick
animals of course that have been washed up on the
beaches nearby. So yeah, look, bring your own self contained

(19:59):
thing on a website somewhere and find out who you
can deal with to get volunteers. We had sixty on
Saturday for It's Good Sunday, about forty yesterday, and most
of them are friends of all of our family.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
And for those of people who aren't able to do that,
there will be financial ways we can help later on.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
Mate, you look after yourself. I came, we haven't forgotten you.
You're in the loop, you're in the mixture at the
top of our mind.

Speaker 4 (20:22):
I appreciate it very much, And Amander, I love your
gig made on the piano on a piano tutor and
everything you say is.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Correct, always, Paul always.

Speaker 4 (20:33):
I love the show.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
Thank you so much for take care for Stanley. Reporting
live from Tari Jonesy jam Nations on the pub.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
Test today, as we go down to the jokes and
matter of arms, selling rose Hill Racecourse for housing, does
it pass the pub test?

Speaker 1 (20:49):
The vote happens today.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
It happens today. Now here's the deal. They cast their
final votes on plans to sell Rosa Racecourse for five
billion dollars to make way for a mini city of
twenty five thousand homes. Not just that a metro. This
would be the only metro. We're stationed between Paramatta and
Olympic Park. And if they don't do it now, they

(21:10):
won't do it. If they get a smaller blot plot
for housing and don't build the metro, then it'll be
too hard to put a metro in later. And with
a metro comes schools, comes shops, comes, green space, comes, society,
comes all that stuff. They're saying, we're in the midst
of a housing crisis. We've got thirty to forty year
olds leaving Sydney for Queensland because we don't have a
place for them here, so we need housing. Is this

(21:33):
the way to do it. Gay Waterhouse is opposed to this,
although it's not like they're getting nothing. Eighty million, eight
hundred million dollars will be used to upgrade Warwick Farm
and it's not like we don't have a race course.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
Were a world class city and this is my thing.
We've got Ramwick, got Worrick Farm, you got rose Hill.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Sydney has just got too big.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
It's like we used to have speedways, we send racetrack
in Marubra, the sandhills are gone, all these things, all
these areas of Sydney that.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
The lobby's wounded in power exactly.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
The racing lobby.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
The lobby, Well, what my point is about this That
thing should have gone years ago. And you look at
the declining numbers to go to rose Hill because of
online bedding and stuff like that. That's like twelve thousand
people go through it or something like last year.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
That's nothing. The thing's got to go.

Speaker 8 (22:18):
Well.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
Gay Waterhouse has said we would not be here today
to discuss selling the Sydney creekert Ground or Bondo Beach different.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
And that's totally ras Hill takes up a giant chunk sus.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
She says, like everyone in racing. I'm incensed at the
attempt to sell race Hill and hijack and that means still,
she said the proceeds. So how do you feel the
vote is today? They say this is the only chance
to make this happen selling rose Hill Racecourse for housing?
Does it pass the pub test?

Speaker 1 (22:42):
For jem jam Nations commandments four announcers trying to get
a career in radio on indios.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Well, the world's gone crazy for Bad Element. This is
the band that Brendan Jonesy Jones was part of in
his late teens. He found an old cassette with a
couple of songs on it. It's like something special from
a pyramid, isn't it like a crypt? And the songs
themselves that we've been enjoying are incredible. The first one,
of course, no lies.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
You know what I feel is turning into a mockery.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
No way, it's homage. What's the other one called?

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Forget Me Nights?

Speaker 2 (23:22):
Nasal much suit effect?

Speaker 1 (23:26):
So so yes.

Speaker 3 (23:28):
Then the tape break in the tape player broke the tape.
I managed to splice the tape back together.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
You know what, I'm a fan of lyrics as a
teenage girl, every song I liked. I needed to know
every lyric to read them on the record covers all
of that. I can't understand a single word you're saying.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
They're as plain as the nose on your phone.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
What are they? No lies? No lies? No, Actually there's
a stupid lyric in no lies, don't tell any lies?
You can lie to? How's that other one?

Speaker 7 (23:53):
Go?

Speaker 1 (23:53):
Right?

Speaker 2 (23:57):
So you can lie to a priest and a nune
because the light didn't hurt one, but no lies and
one of the lyrics the other one. I've got absolutely
no idea.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
This is what Leonard McCartney went through when they said cuckoo.
But the problem is I got the tape right here,
but no tape player to play the tape.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
I think. I think what we need to do is
get one of our producers, and I'm thinking of a
Meg Met. Can you come in here, Meg, I've got
a terrible assignment for you. Can you listen to these
songs on a cassette player? How many are there?

Speaker 1 (24:28):
Four? It's an E four and.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
Transcribe the lyrics? Really? Do I have to? Yes? Do please?

Speaker 4 (24:36):
Job? Now?

Speaker 1 (24:37):
The job is to do this Meg.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
It'd be like trans looking at old hieroglyphs. Careful with
that tape, but I'd love to know the lyrics.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
And don't deal with that face either. Do it with
a happy face.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
What does this say? Long roll?

Speaker 3 (24:51):
No, that's that's something else, that bad element the other side.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Do you even know how tape works?

Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yeah, I'll work it out. Thank you, Meg, because I
want to know there's a look Australia. I want to
know what those lyrics are. Brendon, thank you. Step by step,
we're going to piece it back to you.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
Put on another drama that you admire very much.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yeah, I've got a thing for dramas, that's for sure.

When God I wanted to get right now, I'm taking

Speaker 6 (25:24):
Your head on a yell.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
Down to the jung matter around to the pub test
selling rose Hill Racecourse for housing?

Speaker 1 (25:34):
Does it pass the pub to.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
This controversial proposal has divided the community and the racing industry.
It's being decided today they're going to sell. They want
to sell rose Hill Racecourse for five billion dollars to
make away from mini city twenty five thousand homes in
a metro.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
They're worried that if they don't sell it now.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
If they wait, say ten years, it won't be never
worse worth five billion dollars because the Metro would have
come and gone.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
They can't build that metro.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
You can't put that metro in later. And if you
make a smaller housing commune unity your stuff that you've
got to do it all at once.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
I appreciate Rose Hills history, Filab race there, Macami Diva
race there, but I'm not a racing official anado.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
I don't really care it care about eight hundred million
dollars is going to be investigating.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
We lost things like speedways, Liverpool Speedway, Paramounta Speedway. You know,
they're ones that went further afield.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
There's going to be Warwick Farm. There's a lot of
houses there. We are a lot of houses there.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
We do have a housing crisis, but in a close
proximity to the city as well. You know, everyone just
doesn't have to go and live out in wool Wall.
You know, there should be the dream of young people
thirty to forty year olds being to buy a house
in the environs of Sydney in the basin.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
Well, the vote is happening today selling rosa rescourse for housing,
does it pass the pub test.

Speaker 4 (26:44):
Yeah, no, no good at all.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
There's too many people in the area.

Speaker 4 (26:47):
Now I work actually on the site down there.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
It should be turned into a park of forests. Going
back to nature.

Speaker 11 (26:53):
Doesn't pass the pub test. There's thousands of Housing Commission
houses empty, there is a bullet train. There's so many
things we can do this, so much land along that
Metro corridor that we could fill up with the houses,
but they're looking to get a cheap way to get
make money, so it doesn't pass a pub testimate.

Speaker 4 (27:10):
It's that much land out with why off more houses
in that area where it is compacted with people.

Speaker 6 (27:18):
As they sell it off.

Speaker 4 (27:20):
There's already three other racecourses in the Metro area plus
run in Hawkesbury, and the Metro is already there runs
outside of the racecourse.

Speaker 6 (27:27):
What is it with this government? The second they get
a path of land, they've got to fill it off
instead of just changing into how about we put more
parks and things for families to go and play with
ton No, it doesn't park the pub ject.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
All those callers seemed to a certain age, right thing.
They probably already have their established times themselves, but younger
people trying to get into the market.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Where are they going to do the National Park? Imagine
the house you can put in the.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
National Oh now you're thinking Centennial Park. Get rid of it.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Thank you for all your calls.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
Twenty seventh of May. I don't want to get a motion.
Oh friends, my wedding anniversary today. And in the old
day Harley and I would have been going out to
dinner tonight, but he's not well enough to do that.
But I've been thinking about this. How long have you
been married, Brendon our thirty three years? And when you
when you stand there on your wedding day and you
say forever, what does that even mean? You don't even know.

(28:56):
I think all you can say is I kind of
feel the way of potential that we can go somewhere here.
And when you say the words for better or worse,
you know what do they mean when you're in.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
Your twenties in sickness and in health, in.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Sickness and in health, and yet that's where we are,
and no concept of what that means until you're living it.
And I can't fluctuate between taking great pride in the
fight that we are alongside each other, and there's strength
that takes to get up every day and still fight
it and still live it. But I don't think you

(29:30):
can get thirty five years without the sands shifting between
you beneath your feet. If you're living life, you don't
get did Cherry pick life? Sure, you engage with it
as you find it, and Harley's very stoic, but it's hard,
and you know it's I'm grateful today that here we

(29:52):
are thirty five years and we're still in it together.
But it's I never think of the what IFFs, because
I think that's just that's where madness lies. But you
do fluctuate between dealing with what's in front of you
and having the absolute shits that you're dealing with what's

(30:12):
in front of you. But as we've spoken about before,
you scratch the surface. Everyone is going through a story.
And to think of the journey you embark on thirty
five years ago, it's a very long time and we've
lich lived a rich and wonderful life together and we
still do. But it's not the same as the old
days where we'd be going out to dinner tonight. But
the boys are coming over for dinner and I'm grateful

(30:35):
we still have each other.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
But I wasn't going to get emotional anyway.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Happy anniversary, Harley.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
Ah, can we go to sure take some tshues? Thank you?
You are such a trouper well you know.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
But it is that thing, isn't it on your wedding
day where you think no one knows what rides you're
in for?

Speaker 1 (30:57):
Exactly none of us do.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
As Harley himself says, we all have an asteroid coming
at us. We don't know what it is, and and
do you want to know? That's another thing, isn't it.
We all think that we'll get to ninety and die
in our sleep. And I think the human condition is
you can't afford to think otherwise, or as you wouldn't
get up in the morning. But people face stuff every

(31:19):
day and it's the that's the meat of life, that's
the meat of a long term relationship. So I'm grateful
to have that.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Let's take a break, Let's do it.

Speaker 10 (31:27):
Jonesy and Amanda podcast, I've.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Heard them describe him as a drunken idiot.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
I'm not sure.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
Can I just commend you on how brave you are
at your wedding anniversary today.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
Your husband has Parkinson's disease. We're about this for some time.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
Harley has it, and for you to share what you
just shared before Helen's news there was extraordinary. And what
I'm saying as well, I don't want you to feel
that you have to keep I know that a lot
of people ask me how Harley's going, and I said, well,
he's got Parkinson's, you know, and that's it. But I
don't elaborate on it, and I don't expect you to

(32:11):
eat it.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
And I don't want you to be clickbait.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
I don't want you to I don't want people coming
up in the street, and I don't want people over
for me, people going oh, I had an uncle that
had this.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
We don't want to hear those stories. Okay, what you
just said, you just said, and we'll just keep it that.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
You're a good friend, Brendan. Thank you, because it is
hard and even good friends of mine ask how I'm
going and thinking that I need to unburden myself, and
yet it's just what I need is to I'm in
survival mode. Sure, you put one foot in front of
the other, and there are days when you go out
and you just that's when you're out, that's when you're
having your life. That's when you're dealing with things. And

(32:47):
I don't talk about it a lot on the air,
but I feel that people know our story and it
is our wedding anniversary, and there's some meat in sharing
what you're going through. There really is, and I'm happy
to do that. But you're right, that clickbait kind of
stuff's hard. But when people feel everyone wants to buy
to the story. And my boy spoke about this on
the podcast and it's exhausting. So it's hard to open

(33:11):
the door sometimes and not others. Yeah, and I know
you cop it too. My friends do people asking questions
about Harley and they don't know what to share and
what not to share either. But it's only on I
mean it's every day. I live with it every day,
but sometimes it is just one foot in front of
the other. And it doesn't mean I'm not dealing with it.
And if I'm just getting through it and coming to
work and loving these bits, doesn't mean that I'm not

(33:35):
not feeling it.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
Good Thank you podcast.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
While I was watching the last episode of the Floor
last night, well I finally understood what the show was about.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
And it's last night.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
Yeah, because there's all this presumed knowledge with that show,
the randomizer, ope, light up the floor and all this stuff.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
It's like watching monster truck racing.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
Well, now it's finished. Have you got it?

Speaker 1 (33:56):
Yeah, now I've got it. Now it's finished.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
While you're watching that, I watched three episodes of a
show called American Manhunt Asama bin Laden. This is on Netflix.
Everyone's talking about this at the moment. It's about the
hunt for Osama bin Laden, but told in a way
I've never seen it before. A lot of it through
Central intelligence, where war we will.

Speaker 4 (34:16):
Find those who did it and we'll bring them to justice.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
This is the time to come in with a massive
force and offenders sun in Morden got away.

Speaker 4 (34:26):
Every one of them that escaped the country was a
potential pilot to fly another airline into a building.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
We've been here since NIGN eleven and we had nothing, and.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
Then here's this compound. Oh my god, we may have found.
My team's going to the most important mission in modern history.
And that's what I'll help brow.

Speaker 3 (34:42):
Horses words straordinary CIA agent Tracy Walder, who is in
the documentary, is going to be joining.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
Us next Jamais.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
There's a new docu series on Netflix. I watched it
last night. It's got everyone in the office talking. It's
called American Manhunt Asama bin Laden. It follows, of course,
the hunt for Bin Laden following the nine to eleven attacks.
Amongst those featured is Tracy Waldom, a full of CIA
agent who was in the space of a year, went
from being a university student to joining the hunt for

(35:13):
some bin Laden. Quite extraordinary. Tracy, Hello, Hi, thank you
all so much for having me.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
Well, how do you get to that?

Speaker 2 (35:21):
How do you go from being a UNI student one
year to being that the next?

Speaker 5 (35:27):
I mean, it's a long story, but i'll shorten it
up obviously for Radio but you know, it wasn't something
that I'd set out to be. I wanted to be
a high school history teacher. This is we have to
remember the world was very different right pre nine to eleven.
Terrorism wasn't top of mine in America. It just wasn't
a thing. And I watched Bin Lawden's interview in nineteen
ninety seven, and that's when he issued his declaration of

(35:48):
war against the United States, and I wanted to find
out more about who this person.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
Was, what he was about.

Speaker 5 (35:54):
So I started taking classes international affairs, those kinds of things.
But I didn't know that you could work in the
CIA and work counter terrorism there. I went to a
career fair at my university spring of my junior year,
saw that there was a table said CIA, and I
gave them my resume, really not expecting any call whatsoever,

(36:14):
and they called. I was cleared by cash November December
of my senior year, contingent upon me graduating college, obviously.
I graduated in May of two thousand and started two
weeks later.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
Wow, right into the drop zone of when the world changed.
It's quite extraordinary because we've seen the story play out
a number of times, but to see it from an
intelligence point of view. Was so interesting though, the first
boots on the ground in Afghanistan, and in a way,
the intelligence community took the hit with Congress, with the
public for not finding Bin Laden, but there was so
much more to it. Yeah, it was very frustrating.

Speaker 5 (36:52):
It was frustrating obviously being at the agency at that time.
I think I talked a little bit in the documentary
that there weren't that many There wasn't a lot of
time to have feet about things, right, No one really
cared what we thought. But obviously, I think looking back,
we were all very deeply affected by the fact that
we were essentially blamed right for missing September eleventh, The
nine to eleven Commission blamed us for that, and I

(37:14):
think we thought, specifically at that moment in Tora Bora,
really that we could in a way right avenge the
deaths of these individuals and kind of shirk some of
that blame that we had gotten and changed the narrative
just a little bit. So it was really frustrating obviously
being on duty that night and losing Bin Laden essentially,

(37:35):
and that's when he made his journey into Pakistan.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
Because Toura Bora was when you know, about a month
after September eleven, you knew he was in the Afghanistan mountains.
You said, we can get him. You wanted the military
to come in, and you didn't get the back out.

Speaker 5 (37:49):
I mean, I think it's human nature, right, if your
bomb from above, you're going to run away if you survive, right,
we all want to live. And so I think we
knew that, right, We knew that that would happened. We
knew we wouldn't kill every single terrorist that was there,
and unfortunately, that's exactly what happened.

Speaker 3 (38:08):
And when you look at it, nineteen ninety seven, that's
when you discovered Asamo viinin Laden.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
That was before any of us knew who he was.

Speaker 3 (38:14):
So you must have been increasingly frustrated when September eleven
actually had happened, and you thought, hang on this, I
know this guy, I know what his intentions are.

Speaker 5 (38:25):
I don't know that I necessarily knew what he would do, right,
like I had lived through that First World Trade Center
bombing that we had in nineteen ninety three from the
Blind Shake, and then we also were in the kind
of dawn of terrorism, homegrown terrorism. We had the Oklahoma
City bombing that had happened just two years after that,

(38:45):
and so now we have this person who is declaring
war on us, and I think, yes, it was very frustrating,
particularly once I got to the agency to realize that
actually that's not where the focus was. So at the time,
the focus was very much on Central and South America.
There was like a lot of chakudetars and counter narcotics
issues going on there, as well as Russia because Russia's

(39:08):
kind of always been on our radar. It was a
very small group that, in all honesty, didn't get a
whole lot of attention.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
What was the you say you weren't you didn't have
time for emotion. But in this documentary, that final episode
in particular is so so extraordinary to watch when you
captured Osama bin Laden. How did that feel for you?

Speaker 5 (39:28):
So I want to be completely transparent Amanda and Jersey.

Speaker 2 (39:32):
I have not watched it, and I want to.

Speaker 5 (39:34):
I want to explain why I have a lot of
PTSD diagnosed, you know, mental health issues surrounding September one
with I served to tours in Afghanistan. You know, there's
a lot that goes around to that, and so it's
difficult for me to watch it, so I just want
to be honest and open about that. But I do

(39:54):
think that it felt good to get him, and this
might surprise listeners. I didn't necessarily feel relieved, and let
me explain why.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
Because you can't.

Speaker 5 (40:04):
Kill an idea. And I talk about this in the
book that I wrote that it's like starfish, right, you
cut off, you know, one of the arms of the star,
and it grows back over time. And what I was
concerned about was that we got in laden. Therefore people,
the government money would stop caring about terrorism, and it

(40:25):
would grow and fester again, and then there would be
another attack. So that was actually my concern. I was
obviously happy he wasn't that influential anymore at that point
because he was in such a sheltered state by then.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
But at the same time I.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
Was concerned, Yeah, and how do you feel now with terrorism?
Can we get positive? Because to me, it just seems
to be an ideology. If you go to the Middle East,
it's like Muslim versus Christian.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
This is true.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
Yeah, So you've got all these religious groups.

Speaker 3 (40:55):
Subsets, and you've got an archaic religion versus another archaic religion.
How do you get past that.

Speaker 5 (41:05):
I mean, that is a million dollar question. If I
could solve.

Speaker 3 (41:08):
That, it would really be if you could wrap that
up right now, if you wrapped up Middle East peace,
we would be out of here. We could play some
Nickel Beckham. We'd be happy. But it's not going to happen,
and it's not going to happen now. But Tracy, it's
a great Netflix series, American Manhunt.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
To anyone, Tracy Wallace, thank you for joining us, Thank
you for having me.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
Podcast. Just before eight o'clock, we had a fascinating chat
with a woman called Tracy Walder. She is She was
a CIA agent involved for the hunt for Summa bin
Laden and her first year out of university quite extraordinary.
So she told the story and this is it actually
in this documentary series of how she got that job.

Speaker 5 (41:55):
As a junior in college, I went to a career
fair in the CIA.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
I was at a table there. Here's my resume.

Speaker 5 (42:04):
They really honed in on this leadership position that I
had in my sorority. I was willing to sacrifice popularity
and being liked for the betterment of.

Speaker 1 (42:15):
The entirety of my sry.

Speaker 5 (42:17):
And I spoke to sort of I guess my moral terpitude.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
I don't know, but that's what they said.

Speaker 5 (42:23):
I was placed in the counter terrorism center.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
She said there was some sort of bad behavior in
the sorority. So she told them off right and they said, yep, okay, you're.

Speaker 1 (42:32):
In a rat. She's a dob.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
When I was working at the midday show with Ray Martin,
there was this fantastic girl called Stephanie who worked with us,
and she's gone on to be a great ABC journalist.
I see her all over the place. She's brilliant. But
I was with the executive producer while he was going
through the list of applicants just for junior jobs that
we all had, and he liked her because she'd written
it when she was at university. She'd been sheet monitor

(42:56):
for college. And he said, yep, that makes me laugh tick,
and that's that's it.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
Sometimes the strangest thing will be your foot in the door.

Speaker 3 (43:04):
Forget your yeah, forget your you know your qualifications, you
need degree, she monitors.

Speaker 1 (43:09):
That'll do it. Could just be likable.

Speaker 2 (43:11):
You just have to have a quirk or something that
will pick the eye of the person who's looking at
your resume.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
You're on the top shelf. That's what it is. The
tribal drum would be for this. Your foot in the door,
you're on the top shelf.

Speaker 2 (43:22):
Is that mad Max?

Speaker 3 (43:24):
You know when the boss the boss Copper Fifi and
Max is going to leave the force.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
No, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
People don't believe in heroes anymore. Max will give them
back their heroes. Okay, Now there's guys of a certain
age in the game.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well what we want to know is
how you got your foot in the door. The quirkier,
the weirder, the side path. What was it like?

Speaker 1 (43:45):
I said, you're on the top shelf.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
You're on I don't even get what that means, but
I'll let you get away with it.

Speaker 3 (43:53):
Thanks Mom. We had a guest Onne before, Tracy Walder.
Tracy Walder is a formers See a agent.

Speaker 2 (44:01):
Right in the drop zone of the Hunt for Osama
bin Laden And yet a year before that she'd been
at university. She'd been she went up to a CIA
disc she said, oh, I might apply for this, and
this is the years before terrorism was such a big deal,
and she said that she ran a sorority and they
thought they liked that she could tell off her friends,
and next minute I.

Speaker 5 (44:22):
Was placed in the counter terrorism center.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
Boom, my foot in the door. Helen is with us, Hi, Helen,
how did you get your foot in the door?

Speaker 8 (44:32):
Hither?

Speaker 7 (44:32):
So I got my foot in the door in a
lushy car brand by telling them that I that I
played quidditch and I volunteered at an international quidditch tournament
in Germany as part of the camera crew.

Speaker 2 (44:45):
What did they not know that? That's not real?

Speaker 7 (44:49):
It is real thing since two thousand and six? Yeah, thing,
what are you doing?

Speaker 1 (44:54):
You're gonna get the Harry Potter people on the cap?

Speaker 2 (44:55):
Is it a real thing? I didn't even know that,
So what did they like that about? To Helen?

Speaker 7 (45:01):
The hiring manager thought that I was insane for putting
quidditch on my resume, and he just had to speak
to me and find out if it was real or
if I was just having a laugh yep. And then
I showed him some videos on YouTube, some of the
games I filmed, and he thought it was insane and
he was like, I've got to hire you.

Speaker 1 (45:18):
That's it. I'm going to give this lady to sell Mercedes.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
It's like the girl that I knew who got who's
an ABC journalist who got the job because she'd been
a sheep monitor at university in her in her college.

Speaker 1 (45:30):
But Helen, are you still selling Mercedes? No?

Speaker 7 (45:34):
I've since moved on to bigger and better things. But
the hiring manager was probably one of my favorite people.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
What bigger and better things?

Speaker 7 (45:43):
I moved to London. Actually, So you're in London, the
heart of quidditch.

Speaker 3 (45:46):
You look at you, we're internationals. Well good on, you're
Helen and you have an upset.

Speaker 1 (45:51):
The Harry Potter army. Well see, I don't know about
Harry Potter. How do you quid each be real?

Speaker 2 (45:55):
Don't they play it in the air?

Speaker 1 (45:56):
Yeah? No, they run around on the ground. It looked
like a bunch of dogs. He looks like hockey. I'm
not going to say for his houses. Allison has joined us.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
By Alison, how did you get your foot in the door?

Speaker 12 (46:07):
So about six years ago I went for a job
interview and I found out about probably a month after
I got the job, that the bus who interviewed me
had sent one of his advent teams to stalk me
on Facebook and found that I followed the same football
team as him, and my Facebook profile was with me
drinking a very large beer on holiday in Japan. So

(46:28):
he thought that's the girl for me, and she follows
my footage team and neither of those are actually really
me at all.

Speaker 1 (46:36):
But right got the job.

Speaker 2 (46:38):
They got you the job.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
So you're drinking a bigger sahi and with a footage
jersey on and it's done.

Speaker 6 (46:44):
Yeah, that's all.

Speaker 2 (46:45):
It takes. All it takes.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
Why elbow always well the South Sydney Jersey. That's how
we got the job.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
And that's how we got His wife is his fiance.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
Who would have thought that?

Speaker 10 (46:54):
Jonesy and Amanda Podcast.

Speaker 3 (47:00):
Amanda, you don't have to do anything, do you Just
sit there in the bimbo seat and I'll do it all.

Speaker 1 (47:04):
And when I say bimbo set, I mean you have
order respect.

Speaker 2 (47:07):
And when you say do it all, what you have
been doing the last week was digging up something from
your garage, which is an old cassette you had from
your garage.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
Came from you because you were going through your attic
looking for some stuff and you found a picture of
you hugely pregnant with Leah.

Speaker 1 (47:23):
Yeah, I've forgot Myny Moore picture.

Speaker 3 (47:25):
Yeah, And then I started looking for some tapes, you know,
just stuff like that, old radio tapes, various interviews I've
done with people. But I also found my old garage
Bad Bad Element.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
Bad Element, and well here's a snippet of Bad Element.
It's the lyrics are conflicting, as Ryan pointed out, because
what does it say, Ryan, Yes, so we've.

Speaker 1 (47:49):
Got the bit where you're lying to.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
Them, yes, rying none, So no lies, but you can
lie to a pre none. And there's another song as
well that sounds a bit like this. You know, I
can't understand a single word it's being said. So I

(48:13):
gave an assignment to Meg.

Speaker 3 (48:14):
I was on backup signus on that one sponsored by
Pseudo Fed.

Speaker 2 (48:20):
I gave Meg, one of our producers, an assignment to
listen to that. She's not happy.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
She's not like I said. I was even broken it again.
I'm not made of spliced tape.

Speaker 2 (48:28):
And she has written out the lyrics for those two songs.
I'm going to read them to you next Lamanda podcast.
Bad Element. That's all anyone can talk about right now?

Speaker 1 (48:40):
Is that true?

Speaker 2 (48:40):
It's so untrue. This is a band that you were
in when you were eighteen or nineteen. You played the drums,
You're a co songwriter. You're a singer, a backup singer.
You were everything, Brandon, You are a lot of things
in that band. You found your old cassette, you spliced
it back together. There are four songs, you say, we've
only been able to hear, one of which is this,

(49:01):
no lies.

Speaker 6 (49:06):
We are.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
Let me just say this. I'm someone. I'm someone who
loves a lyric if I love poetry, I love the
words to a song funnily enough. And I've asked Meg
to listen to the cassette because you just said you
didn't have a copy of the words and couldn't remember
a lot of us.

Speaker 3 (49:23):
You couldn't listen to the cassette because the cassette we
don't have one.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
Here.

Speaker 3 (49:27):
I fix the tape of the cassette player that I
have at home. The duel cassette player is busted. But
Meg's mum has come to the rescue. She's going to
drop the cassette player in.

Speaker 2 (49:36):
So tomorrow we can hear them other two missing songs.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
Yes, and so what we've got is one and a
half songs.

Speaker 2 (49:42):
Well, let me read the lyrics. She's tried to transcribe them.
This is no lies, No lies, you're telling me what
to do. No lies, you're telling me what to be.
No lies. I'm gonna see it swing.

Speaker 1 (49:54):
Let's see it through.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
I'll see it through. No lies, no lies, no lies,
O lies. Yeah, good lie to a priest. You could
lie to a nun, a little white nye. Never heard anyone. Sorry, sorry, Brendan. Well, then, also,
there's some question marks here because because she's saying, she
can't understand what she's saying, because she's got so take
this racket out of here. I'm not listening to a

(50:16):
question mark, question mark, question mark? What's it saying?

Speaker 1 (50:19):
Take this rap? Get out of here. I'm not going
to listen to no more of your lies.

Speaker 2 (50:26):
Doesn't even rhyme? And what's the rap?

Speaker 1 (50:29):
It was before rap?

Speaker 2 (50:30):
And then there's no lies, no lies.

Speaker 1 (50:32):
Ahead of my time.

Speaker 2 (50:33):
How about let's have a listen now to a snippet
of Forgetful Night.

Speaker 1 (50:39):
Here's even more torture.

Speaker 2 (50:46):
See I can understand a single word that's being sung there.
Well he needs another go in the washing machine. Here
we go. These are the lyrics according to Meg for
Forgetful Night. I've got out of my bed and shook
my head my head. Well that's not what she heard.
My eyes were stinging, my ears were ringing. Oh I

(51:06):
was lost. I couldn't remember what i'd been, or what
i'd seen, where i'd been, or what i'd seen. The
sun is crisp. The birds were singing.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
The sun is shining.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
The birds were singing. Question, my question, Question? Were in
my walls.

Speaker 3 (51:21):
A lawn mower echoes through the walls.

Speaker 1 (51:24):
It's the lament of the young person.

Speaker 3 (51:26):
Coming home on a Friday night, had a big night
the night before, and they wake up in suburbia on
a Saturday morning.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
The world outside focused on me. They all wondered where
the hell I've been. It's just another one of those.
She's written here unforgetful nights, and she's written next to
extremely off tune. Then she said, you better stick to
that when your face turns white, And she says, I
think he's referring to drugs. Is that right?

Speaker 1 (51:55):
There was we were, you know, we used to partake.

Speaker 2 (51:57):
It explains the lyric and the boys.

Speaker 1 (52:01):
Well, I'm looking forward to your face do it again.

Speaker 2 (52:05):
You'd better stick to that. It's another one of those
forgetful night. You better stick to that when your face
turns white.

Speaker 3 (52:13):
When your face when you're when your eyes are sticking in,
your face turns when your bed, when your bed is
spinning and your face turns white. Your bed is spinning
and your face turns white.

Speaker 2 (52:24):
That makes sense.

Speaker 1 (52:25):
You I understand the night before you. I get it,
you get it. I get it. Bloody brilliant. It is
bloody brilliant.

Speaker 2 (52:33):
Maybe could write one of those well, I look forward
to tomorrow. Were two more songs.

Speaker 1 (52:38):
When missus Meg brings the tape.

Speaker 2 (52:39):
When she brings the tape in and we can do
you not in the names of the other two songs.

Speaker 1 (52:43):
There was too Young to Pretty.

Speaker 2 (52:47):

till tomorrow, Brendan, stay tuned Australia. Here it comes threety
thousand dollars cash. That's what you can win if you're
our favorite Gollie of the year.

Speaker 1 (53:09):
Pretty cool. What have we got today?

Speaker 8 (53:11):
What really gets my gullies is the lack of manners
that I've noticed out there. You know, you go to
the shops and you're standing in a queue and somebody
has to push in front of you, or they state
that they were their first when they clearly weren't. Worre's
you being served and they have to interrupt you? Why
are we so entitled and why is everybody else's time
so much more important than another persons that you can't

(53:32):
wait there.

Speaker 1 (53:32):
For a couple of seconds?

Speaker 2 (53:33):
You know what?

Speaker 8 (53:34):
It's really sad that we just don't have basic principles
like manners.

Speaker 1 (53:37):
What about me situation?

Speaker 3 (53:39):
You know, the little kid down on there of the
count of the corner shop.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
You know, you're standing there and anyone else comes in
and you go, hello, what's going on? Sometimes it just
happens that way.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
Sometimes it happens that way.

Speaker 1 (53:48):
Sometimes I know that you when you come in, everyone goes.

Speaker 2 (53:50):
Off iPhone ahead so they clear the shop. Hell, you
do that with your flatulence. So we both have our
own methods.

Speaker 3 (53:55):
You're like Michael Jackson, you go a private private tour
KM Yay, what else have we got?

Speaker 10 (54:03):
Do?

Speaker 9 (54:03):
You know what gets my gullies? Going out to a
beautiful restaurant where it is so dimly lit that you
have to get your mobile phone out yep, and use
the torch on your mobile phone just to read the menu.
It's true, even worse if you haven't bought your glasses.

(54:24):
But it is so embarrassing and it's just like turn
the lights up so we can read the menu.

Speaker 2 (54:31):
Gets my gollie, don't be embarrassed. I was in a
restaurant the other day and everyone everyone had their phones
out with the menu. Everyone does.

Speaker 3 (54:36):
It is that because of the current electrical you know
the bill squeeze.

Speaker 2 (54:41):
Oh, I think, do you want a nice dining ambience?
