Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, here's our podcast What a Day Today. We had
an interesting chat.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
It was my son's birthday yesterday and I woke up
this morning realized I hadn't put anything on social media
about it. It's not my natural bent to do that,
but I felt have I let him down by that?

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (00:13):
I think it's these days.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
You have to acknowledge that sort of stuff out loud,
don't you.

Speaker 4 (00:19):
It's weird the pub test saying no to birthday parties?

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Does that pass the pub test?

Speaker 2 (00:24):
For your kids at home to do family things. The
piano was on TV last night, the show I host
on the ABC. I got such response to a woman
called Michelle who was deaf and blind and she plays
the piano beautifully. It's a very very moving bit. I
thought i'd play something.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
I noticed you had a veiled dig at me as well.
In that show It's Everything for Me.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
We speak to Chris Hadfield, astronaut, space walker, guitar player
in space. Is an incredible guy, as lots of talk
about in the space world at the moment, Katie Perry,
Jeff Bezos.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
All of that.

Speaker 4 (00:56):
He's a very reasonable guy, isn't he? And Eurovision from
reasonable to Bonker's nuts.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Australia's song was completely bonkers. Why didn't we win?

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Why didn't we There's enough cooks there. Maybe we weren't
cookie enough. I think we were.

Speaker 5 (01:10):
That's all coming up in this podcast.

Speaker 6 (01:21):
That a miracle of recording.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
We have so many requests for them to do it again.

Speaker 7 (01:25):
Mistress Amanda and Miss Amanda doesn't work alone.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Friend Aroom making the tools of the train.

Speaker 7 (01:33):
I've heard them describe him as a drunken idiot.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
The legendary part Jonesy and Amanda the actress.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Congratulations, man, were there any written this? Jersey and Amanda,
You're doing a great job. Anyone but silk now good radio. Sorry,

shoot time. We're good money to you. Amanda, Well, Hi,

(02:02):
how are you? I am well?

Speaker 4 (02:04):
It was great to see you on Saturday night out
of work hours.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Yes, the whole team we will talk further about that.
But the whole team went to see Yochtley Crue was great.
We whatt a great great night.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
The whole team. But Meg and Ryan Ryan was the.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Name they both invited. They had other things on. Meg
had a friend's thirtieth birth.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
There was a meg shaped hole in the night.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
There was, and we met Ryan's mum.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Ryan'smum was there. She loved it. Yes, I thought she would.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
It was a great, great night.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
What a show.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
You're a weird person, Brandon, You boast about the strangers
things in that. So we all went to a pub
afterwards where my son was the.

Speaker 4 (02:38):
Second his friend the second location should not have gone.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Though, we should not have done the kick on, but
I left. You were still there. Another friend of mine
that was still there.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
I left. I'm drinking twenty years old.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Jim was there, you weren't the only one. Gym was
there and he told me that you just left by
saying no, I'm not going to get an uber.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
No, I don't take ubers.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
So you get on a line where we're in Paddington.
You get on a line you live in Cronulla. You
get in a lime bike wearing dark clothes. You're pissed
it's pouring with rain. No but seriously, but then you
get You told me the next day you went to
Taylor Square and got an uber from there, So why
not get a nuber from the pub just so you
can leave and say no, don't I'm too strong. I

(03:20):
don't take ubers. So you go up the road and
get an uber, risk your life and then get.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Those lime bikes.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
I think they're great, and I think I was probably
well under the limit responsibly ruining. Look you see something
fool shay riding around on easily, why not.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Just get an uber from the location because it would
have been surging.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
And there was a whole bunch of people gathered outside,
and I don't want to stand outside the pub when
I've said I hate the double goodbye. So I've managed
to get out of the pub because you left, and
then I'm stuck with a bunch of twenty year olds.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
And I said I got to get out of here.
I'm going to get out of here.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
But if I stand outside the pub, then you know,
people start gathering around me and I'm never going to.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Leave, Okay, So I just a new pope.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
I get out of it.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
Once you say goodbye, you can't do the double goodbye.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
So there's method to my madness. Well you're still here.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
You made it?

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Are you alive? I think safely.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
I thought my head was going to cave in yesterday. Though,
my goodness, I can't drink like that anymore.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Well, it's going to be you know, if you think
of getting a line bike, be careful because it's going
to rain and rain and rain and rain and rain.
What about last night, giant deluge last night we've been
warned of flood risks, dangerous surf. Temperatures was freezing yesterday.
It's going to be the same today. So this prolonged
spell of rainfall, it says, called last right throughout the week,
so beware.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah, but I like on the news, it's like this
is all new and we've got rain. What do we do?
Everyone's panicking.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
No one's panicking. We just like to be informed when.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
We live in Australia. But droughts and flooding, rains, it happens.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Move on, Okay, this way didn't get a job on
the Weather.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
Channel, that's what jobs and.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
The shortest broadcast ever.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Move on, you know because a lot of those weather
presenters they're all doomsdays. Look it's going to be terrible,
where they just say, look, you know it's going to
rain for a few days.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
But they don't all get better and we'll all be okay.

Space Odity, that's the one he played that in Space.
His book is amazing. He's writen a number of books. Actually,
he's this fabulous, gently spoken Canadian guy. His book was inspirational.

Australia and talk to him.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
Now are Ganita Wassi. That's the triscore of the Risks.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
And that's just surname. His first name Mark. I think
most of commentators call him Mark or Mikey Mark because it's.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
Just once you get it again now I're Ganita Wassi.
Once you get it.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
How many hyphens are in it?

Speaker 1 (11:55):
There's a few.

Speaker 4 (11:56):
That's a you know, you wouldn't want to get a
personalized vanity played. I know those NURL Plan's got a
lot of cash.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
But we'll get his name as a tattoo or anything
it has to.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Get just MWMN.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
What about his business card? It's a fold out, it's
a gatefold. I'm going to read the Germanac, not the
whole germanac. I'm going to see what we've got on
this day. In nineteen eighty one, Australian Crawl released the
hit things Don't See.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
My favorite Ozzie Crawl song. Very hard to sing along.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
To and for the first time you ever heard anything.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
What the hell are they saying? Things just a don't
seem to be going.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
But they're known, of course as a rock band, and
they're known as the rock band that shaped Australian music. Really,
but when we spoke to James Rain about this last year,
remember he doesn't quite look at the band the same way.

Speaker 12 (12:41):
Because I look at that band sometimes I think there's
a little bit of a novelty band.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Really, what a gift to have it so be so loved. Yes,
that is a gift. That's a positive thing, and it
was so loved and it's still loved.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
I mean, you're not Joe Dolci, you're not doing shut
up in your face.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
You could add that, maybe you could be Noah Ganita
Wassi in.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
Maybe that's one of the lyrics that James could see.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Well, that's what that's what it would sound like.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Anyway, Please tell me we're playing just don't see here?
We go, don't see crank this way out.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
It was my son's birthday, Jack.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
I managed to hang out with him on over his birthday.
The night before his birthday, he was at the pub
with his friends.

Speaker 4 (13:24):
I was holding his hand in the pub. I said,
I'm going to hold I'm going to hold on to
you forever. And then he said, okay, there's seven minutes
till midnight. I said, I'm up for it.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
His birthday kicked over.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
He had been at the pub since one o'clock and
you were there with him at midnight. But I didn't
put anything on my sow. I suddenly remember realized this
morning I hadn't put anything on my social media wishing
Jack a happy birthday, and I felt guilty. I mean,
if it's my dad's birthday or whatever, you know, he's
not on social media. All that sort of stuff doesn't matter.

(13:56):
But would it matter to Jack? And I thought, here's
this constant guilt now that if you don't express an
emotion on Instagram, it's like you don't care.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
Did it happen? And Jack knows I care.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Obviously I have cony last night and spent the day.
Of course he knows that. But we're now agonized if
you forget to put something on social media, and.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
This is agonized for ourselves. I don't think other people
would judge you. I don't think people would say, oh,
you know, Amna Kella didn't say happy birthday to her son.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
I think it's the expectation of social media.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
We on ourselves.

Speaker 4 (14:27):
Yeah, and we do. Because Mother's Day came around. I
don't usually post anything on Mother's Day, and then I
thought I should have pasted something on Mother's Day.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
But Helen or your mom just for mom and you know,
the moms of the world.

Speaker 4 (14:38):
Then right, one of those worthy things that people seem
to write, and.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
There's a pressure.

Speaker 4 (14:42):
I think it's I think it's solely pressure on yourself.
There was a time before social media. Often wonder, in
those quiet moments when I used to come home and
have a cup of tea, what did.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
I do before I got my iPhone? What did I do?

Speaker 2 (14:55):
How did we spend our time?

Speaker 4 (14:56):
And I used to like, you know what I used
to do when we're kids and we'd have cereal in
the morning, I'd read the cereal box. Cereal box would
be sitting in front of and I'd read it, you know,
nyasin and all that junk and ribe a flavor.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
An iron and also to be a spit card.

Speaker 4 (15:11):
So you don't have to see your siblings eating their cereal,
because that was the worst thing in the world, to
watch your sibling eats all.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
The time we do, so it's a shame.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
It's shaming, isn't it When my phone says you spent
this many hours?

Speaker 6 (15:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (15:23):
But also I scroll through things for work to find
topics and things like that. I feel like yelling at
my phone. Don't shame me. But also I'm on a
couple of Whatsap groups and some of them cross over
with each other with my friends of different groups.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
And if it's someone's birthday.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Even if I've texted them separately say happy birthday, if
everyone else in the WhatsApp group is wishing them a
happy birthday, I have to get on that group. Think
I feel so that I'm seen to be wishing them
a happy birthday even though I've done it privately.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Yeah, it's exhausting.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
I can't be a part of a new WhatsApp group.
I've got too many as it is, and that's it.
And people say you should be on this. People that
ride on Saturdays and Sundays, and.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
I got to do friendship groups.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
I'm not doing that. No, it's too much, but it is.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
And so Jack, if you're listening to this, have you
twenty seven? Unlikely?

Speaker 1 (16:08):
But let's call it his birthday? Was you say?

Speaker 2 (16:10):
And Liams is on Thursday? And now obviously I can't
do a social post for leb.

Speaker 4 (16:14):
I know you can't know, or just to stir Jack
up to my favorite son birthday, the heir to the
killer fortune.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
Don't the king of the castle.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
It's a pressure, isn't it that you? As you say,
quite rightly, we put on us.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
It's only on yourself.

Speaker 4 (16:29):
I don't think anyone would judge you for And no
one cares about what anyone posts on social media.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
That's the thing, is that true? No one cares.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
Would Jack care that I didn't do it?

Speaker 1 (16:38):
No, he doesn't.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
I'm going to text him and ask him, Hey, who's it?

Speaker 1 (16:41):
Did you mind?

Speaker 4 (16:41):
I didn't do anything, not even listening to the good
old radio, which has been around since Marconi invented it.
Jam Nation, let's get on down to the jonesy. No
matter as in the pub test, saying no to birthday parties,
does it pass the pub test?

Speaker 2 (16:58):
Well, a woman who has written She writes books on parenting,
and she went on a podcast recently to discuss motherhood
and she says she's got two children aged ten and fourteen,
and she doesn't allow them necessarily to go to birthday parties.
She says she's not opposed to birthday parties, but she'll
only say yes to a birthday party if the family
isn't quote generally doing things as a family. They like

(17:19):
to go on hikes on a Sunday that blah blah blah,
do all these sorts of things only if they don't
have something like that planned, which they usually do, or
she allow her kids to go to these birthday parties.
She says, for our family, this idea of prioritizing time
for the four of us is very central.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
I'm not categorically opposed to the.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Concept of a party, but she'd rather take the opportunity
to spend time as a family unit. And there's some
criticism of this is interesting. One woman said, I'm a teacher.
Kids talk about their birthday parties all week and after
the weekend. You're excluding your child not just from the party,
but from the whole experience around it. It's isolating others,
saying that kids need time away from family as well

(18:03):
to learn about friendship and community and how to socialize.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
Sure, but there you're going to hang around at the party, not.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
At ten and fourteen, but when they're younger than.

Speaker 4 (18:11):
The phenomena of that. When Morgan, my eldest, was a
little kid, there, this mother just hung around. I said, well,
you can go. It was Morgan's sixth birthday party. And
I said, we're not going to eat the kid. He's
going to be okay, it's fine, well speaking, and she said,
oh no, I just and I said, just hang around.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
But then I had to make small.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Talk of this life well, because Jack had a nut allergy,
I had to hang around it all.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
So you were the hanger of the due that way,
I had to see what he was eating.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
I guess that's the and so I must say occasionally
I would say no, because the whole class gets invited.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
It's full on.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
But every weekend was taken up with the birthday party,
and I couldn't. I didn't have the bandwidth for it
as it were. So there was some that I just said, oh,
we can't do it. We just can't do it. How
do you feel about this. Saying no to the birthday party?
Does it pass the pup test?

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Yeah, m eating tongue. The Christmas party all over again?

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Quiet, So you tip your job this year.

Speaker 4 (19:07):
It was nice to hang out with you out of
work hours. We don't do that as much as we
used to do in the old days.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
It was so much funtimes.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
I'd like to give you a bit of a break.
On the weekend, we went to see our whole gang here.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
We went to see Yachtley Crue on Saturday night.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yochtly Crue are the.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
World's best tribute youcht rock band. They are just extraordinary.
Everyone in the place, where's a sailor hat? It looked
like they were performing on a frigate. Didn't it look
like we were performing on some kind of warship. It
was absolutely extraordinary.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
They did some grace.

Speaker 4 (19:43):
I wasn't one complaint all night long.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Linel Richie, I just feel that I just don't think
Lionel's yacht rock this isy rock.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
A big one.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
When they did lead.

Speaker 4 (20:03):
What about Christopher Cross?

Speaker 1 (20:07):
This is them doing Christopher Cross. They cover it all.

Speaker 4 (20:09):
What about my favorite one though? Faker Street and the
saximophone bit.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
He did in the audience.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
The crowd went crazy.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
Miguel Maestraia almost ruined it because the guy was running
up past us with the Saximo for had to get
there for a perfect moment, and Miguel starts talking to it.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
I said, Amigo, stop talking to it.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
When Miguel turned up, he was in his beautiful he'd
been at a family function, but he had this beautiful
white blazer on and a friend of mine said, have
you hired that for today? And Miguel's Spanish nostrils just
flared and he said, this is my favorite jacket. He
wasn't playing dress. He doesn't know what your rocket is.
He didn't know where he was.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
Then doctor Chris Brown was wearing I know.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
It was such a funny night. I bought a T
shirt that said Yochtley Crew, big deck energy.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
That's great. I love you.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
If you get a chance to see him go They
are just brilliant, So good Amanda podcast.

Speaker 9 (21:03):
When I wanted to get right now, go to your windows,
stick your head on a yell as hell.

Speaker 4 (21:17):
At the pub test today, saying no to birthday parties
doesn't pass the pub test.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
Well, this woman who writes books on Parenting has said
that she doesn't allow her kids to go to birthday
parties because she does sometimes, but she often has family
things that she prioritizes over that if they want to
go for a bushwalk or whatever, they do, she says,
I think it's more important that the family spend time together.
The other side of this argument is people saying, well,

(21:43):
you know the kids, this is how they learn to socialize,
this is what the whole class is doing. Why would
you exclude them from.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
Do you have to do the hang around?

Speaker 3 (21:49):
Now?

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Is that a thing was back in my day? You
didn't have to do the hang around When I was
a kid.

Speaker 4 (21:54):
You just get dropped off at the local meth lab
for the kid's birthday.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
Party, and your parents are a great theme.

Speaker 4 (21:59):
The parents are pe you up some hours later.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
Well, it is hard these days.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
The parents often have to hang around.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Your day's gone there, the whole weekend is gone.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Saying no the birthday parties does it pass the pub test?

Speaker 12 (22:13):
I think it does pass the pub test.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
I personally say no to birthday parties just for the
cost of present you've got kIPS for There's just no
time for you.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
I find that if you believe that this woman can say, though,
when most parties, from my experience, are organized six to
eight weeks beforehand, and that she's organizing general family activities
greater than sixty eight weeks beforehand. I mean most types
will be organized probably a week or two tops.

Speaker 12 (22:44):
Of course.

Speaker 7 (22:45):
Not no way could you be going out to socialize
have that connection with other kids?

Speaker 8 (22:50):
Why would you want to say no to work?

Speaker 1 (22:52):
Come on, don't you that kids? You should know? To
you what I do know.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
You just ended the conversation with a big spike. You
said it's like kids sport. Have you kept your kids
away from sport because you did not?

Speaker 4 (23:05):
Have they played sport. My son played soccer and my
daughter played net. For my other son, I took him
to oz Tag one time and we're on the way
to oz Tag and he said, I don't want to
play otag And I said, but I don't want to
take you.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
To otag And he said, well, why are we doing this?

Speaker 4 (23:17):
And I said because your mother wants you to do
And then I said, if you don't want to do it,
you don't have to do it.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
And he's not a sporting kid.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
But it was hard with us with cricket because they
both played rugby, but cricket takes up all day and
they were both boys were in separate teams, so a
parent had to stay there all day. So I must
say my son's cricketing career was over because I just
couldn't do it.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
Yeah, but you guys are pretty diligent with your kids sport.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
I know, I know, you know, but the cricket, I'm sorry, Jack,
Sorry Liam. We just couldn't do it.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
You could have been playing for a sit. You could have,
but the mum was tired. You're working down the local
myth La.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
We wanted an afternoon sleep, read her drag and pawn
when she got home.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
The piano last night, Brother, my friend, brother, I've had.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
More response to this show than any TV I've done,
I think, And it's such a beautiful show. A friend
of mine said, it's love, hope, grief all set to music,
and it really is. This is what I often say,
is you scratch the surface. Everybody has a story on
this show. If you haven't seen it. People come down
who just love the piano to play a public piano
for the love of the piano.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
People just don't come down randomly.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
No, the word went out, you know people said. We said,
we're making a documentary about people's love of the piano,
and people applied and then we selected people to come
down in various locations. Last nights was at Preston Markets
in Melbourne. So people are selling fruit and vege all
around us. And what they don't know the people who
come to play the piano is that Harry Connick Junior

(24:47):
and Andrea Lamb, who's Australia's greatest classical pianist, are watching
on just from a nearby room, and they select their
favorite performer, not necessarily the best, their favorite who's going
to perform in a concert at the end. Last night
we met Stefania. She's twelve years old. She's been looming
the piano since she was five. She wants to be
a cardiologist when she's older. And Brendan she happened to

(25:09):
like my partners.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
My name is de Faniel d Fhanier. Come and join
me here. You look sabulous. Thank you.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
I feel a little of key in comparison, so a
good pun.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
Thank Finally someone appreciates my puns. Thank you. I got
the veiled dig. Stab at you, I got the veiled dig.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
But I've had so many comments about Michelle, who was
on the show last night. Michelle is in her sixties
and she's been facing She's got a lot of problems.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
She is blind and she is deaf.

Speaker 7 (25:39):
Growing up, I had only very little vision. It wasn't
until about three years ago that I had to have
my eye removed.

Speaker 12 (25:50):
So due to.

Speaker 7 (25:52):
Chronic ear infections and cancer in my ears, I lost
my hearing about twenty years ago. I could have either
gave up and said, poor me, poor me, I can't
do anything. However, I'm not here to sit in a
cupboard and feel sorry for myself.

Speaker 12 (26:11):
That's for sure.

Speaker 7 (26:12):
I'm one of the very few deathline pianists in the world.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
Wow, she's amazing. And I spoke to her through an
interpreter who really type, not to say types out uses
her hands to tell her what I'm saying, makes the
shapes of the woods in Michelle's hands as I'm talking,
and then someone stands behind her and touches her back
to tell her what the environment is. And one of

(26:39):
the defining images for me at the very end of
that was a person standing behind her looking like making
rain motions on Michelle's back to say people are applauding you.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
It was incredible.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
She wrote a song about her first guide dog, Alan,
still missed the.

Speaker 12 (26:55):
Guy very very much.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
Do you think about Alan when you play this song.

Speaker 7 (27:00):
All the time, all the time when they hear thy performance.
I really hope that people sort of think, you know,
a disability is not a disability unless you allow it
to be. And that's something I really strongly believe in.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
Wise words and haven't listened to how powerful song is. Oh,
it's Harry responding to it. It was so moving.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
But how does she do it? How does she do?
What does she do?

Speaker 2 (27:43):
How does she do it?

Speaker 1 (27:44):
I knd get my knuckle on a think that's.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
Beautiful, so inspiring, So the piano. You can watch it
on ABC on Sunday nights or all the episodes are
there to watch on ABC.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
I view and I appreciate your puns. Sure you do.
Jonesy and Amanda.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
Podcast, Jonesy and Amanda, Mate, God, you're exhausting, You're so exhausting.
What about the NRL on the weekend, the Sharks one
ugly against the Storm.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
It was such a close game with the Roosters and
the Bulldogs.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
It was a brilliant band game.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
Mike, No, we're a wassi. What about Mark?

Speaker 2 (28:23):
To his friends and the commentator.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
Whyn't you say it?

Speaker 4 (28:26):
It's like a namping when you say that once you
get your tongue around those names. But that try, I
spoke to some football people. I said, is that is
he just riffing that? Like?

Speaker 1 (28:37):
Do they practice that with their drills?

Speaker 4 (28:39):
It was otherworldly because the Canterbury player thought that the
ball was out, so he was celebrating. You know, you
saved the try, but no Mark has gone boom?

Speaker 1 (28:50):
How do you do?

Speaker 2 (28:50):
Mark's body kind of went outside and came back in again.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
There should be a dame.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
Interesting story about the Perth Bears. We was announced last
week about their return to the NRAL in twenty twenty seven,
which is great. Lots of people are trying to join
who wouldn't want to join. New club has started their
encouraging membership, but there's been some confusion because there's also
a Bears Perth Social Club and lots of football enthusiasts
have been signing up. However, the birth the Bears Perth

(29:20):
Social Club is not an NRL club. It's a social
club for gay men. You know, Bears is a term
for a big, heavy, heavy set gay man and this
is their social club and they say, look, they're thrilled
if people want to come and join and we're open
to all comers, but be aware if you don't want
to join that club. The Bears Perth Social Club is

(29:43):
not a football club, so just be careful with that.
Just be careful what kind of balls you're dealing with.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
That's a that's a public safety warning. I don't know
what that is. Thank you for that, Amanda Ceritation.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
Our next guest is Colonel Chris Hadfield, claimed astronaut test pilot,
space Walker, spaceship commander. He's done so much and he
charmed the world when he's sang this song in space.

Speaker 6 (30:09):
Is control to me.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Jime, you really made the great I love I love
it well. Chris is heading back to Australia and we're
thrilled to have him with this.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
Now.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
Hello, Chris, how are you?

Speaker 12 (30:26):
Hello? I'm doing great. Thank you and thanks for playing
that song and it's nice to be chatting with you both.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Do you get some sort of royalty out of that?
I suppose it goes to David Bowie's estate. Did you
get a performer A bit of a performer slice.

Speaker 12 (30:41):
In truth that song. David Bowie lost control of it legally,
and so the money goes to a law firm acually,
and I don't get a royalty. But you know, that's
just how it goes, even for as successful and volume
a musicians.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
As long as a lawyer is getting the money. Chris hand,
that's good.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
So much to talk about at the moment. In terms
of space, let's talk about well, the most obvious one,
Katie Perry, Gal King, etcetera heading into space and being
called astronauts. Was it fair that the world reacted strangely
to that and thought that doesn't feel right?

Speaker 12 (31:16):
Was it fair? I don't know who it's fair to.
It doesn't really worry me at all. I mean, when
the Wright brothers saw the very first airliners starting to
fly and taking wealthy passengers for rides, I don't think
they were bad about it or chagrined. They could easily
see the difference between a pilot and a passenger, and
they're both what's they're both air travelers, they're both maybe

(31:41):
even aviators. When you fly on quantus, are you an aviator?

Speaker 1 (31:45):
Sorta?

Speaker 12 (31:46):
So if you fly on board a spaceship as a passenger,
Are you an astronaut? Yeah, sort of. I mean, it's
just a word. I'm not too worried about it. But
it was just kind of fun to watch, and they
sure made the most of the moment, and it was just,
you know, a flash from the pan entertainment. Meanwhile, friends
of mine are living and working on the space station,
and two women did a long, arduous spacewalk nut for

(32:09):
a couple of weeks ago, and the most experienced astronaut
in American history is a woman. So I'm not too
worried about some folks posing and going for a ride.
It's just kind of entertaining.

Speaker 4 (32:20):
You spend a bit of time and space. When you
came back, what sort of adverse effects? What did you
feel when you came back to Earth's gravity.

Speaker 12 (32:29):
It's proportionate to how long you spent. They only spent
about three minutes up there, and so virtually no adverse
effects at all. Maybe a little nausea, But I spent
six months, and there's a huge readaptation of the body.
You lose muscle, fiber, your balance system shuts down, your
heart shrinks, you lose bone, you get osteoporosis. I lost

(32:53):
about eight percent of the moone and my hip cradle
and my upper femur, and it took significant an amount
of time for each of those things to readapt to
Earth when I got back. The longest one was my skeleton,
and that's about three to one. So if you spent
six months in space, it took about eighteen months to
get my mon density back up. So it was worth

(33:14):
every second of it.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
It sounds perfect well, SUNI and Butch spent nine months
up there. They didn't expect to be in the space
station for that long psychologically, did you? How would that
have been for them to hear your journey is being extended.
That's a head game, isn't it?

Speaker 12 (33:29):
Yeah? But they were completely ready for it. And I
think the worst head game would have been if they
had taken the enormous risk of flying a brand new
rocket that no human being had ever flown before, and
then a spaceship built by Bowing that no human being
had ever flown before the risk of that was huge,

(33:50):
And so to fly all the way up and successfully
docked with the space station and only stay for a
week and then come back, what a travesty of rate
off of risk. The best thing that could have happened
for them did, which was, Hey, we're not just going
to bring you home after just a week. You get
to stay. You get to actually live and work in space,

(34:11):
which is what astronauts trained for and dream of you,
It's what we do for a living. And so it
was the greatest reward for them both, and they were
super productive. They made the space station more productive. Sonny
was the commander of the space station. They did space
walks together, and both of them have said that they
hope to get a chance to fly in space again.
So they were never stranded. There was never a second

(34:34):
up there. They didn't have a vehicle to come home in.
There was all sorts of political and uninformed posturing about it,
but they had the time of their lives. And I've
spoken with Sonny recently and they're really hoping to have
a chance to fly in space again. So it's what
astronauts do for a living. And it's just kind of
funny sometimes to see how it gets misrepresented by folks

(34:55):
who are on the periphery of it.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
There's a lot of cynicism around the billionaires who are
funding these lights at the moment, But is that the
only way we'll be able to explore space. Now NASA
can't afford it on its own. Is it right that
we hitch rides with the billionaires.

Speaker 12 (35:11):
Well, cynicism is the easiest of all positions to take
because it allows you to do no work and express
an opinion. So it's fine be a cynic, but actually
try and go to space. That's hard. That takes a
lifetime of work. So I listened far more to people
who are doing things than people who are sitting in
the comfort of their chair at home and being cynical.

(35:33):
You used to have to be a trillionaire to fly
in space because the technology was so bad and so early.
You had to be the United States or the Soviet Union.
No one else could possibly afford it. But because so
many astronauts were willing to take risks and a bunch
of them died, we now have invented and improved the

(35:54):
technology so good that now a private citizen can fly
in space for the cost of alfeluxury car. And there's
still a lot of money. You know, a true luxury
car is a lot of money. But look around Sydney
or Melbourne or whatever. There's a lot of luxury cars
driving around, you know, So that's pretty incredible. And the

(36:15):
fact that wealthy people run huge companies is nothing new.
It's really complicated to fly in space. And Jeff Bezos
farm Blue Origin in nineteen ninety seven, I think, and
he's only put one rocket in space, like in orbit,
he's put some sub orbital ones, but only one rocket

(36:35):
in space and all that time, and he's put billions
and billions of his own money into it, and he's
made zero profit. And Elon Musk started SpaceX twenty three
years ago, I think, maybe twenty four years ago, and
he put billions of his own money into it, but
he found ways to have people buy his product way earlier,

(36:58):
so that now he actually really leaves the world and
launch technology and is pulling away from all the competition,
and very shortly, just in a couple of days, he's
launching the starship again. We should radically change access to space.
I don't excuse either of those men for the bad
things they do. They aren't hugely imperfect human beings. But

(37:20):
at the same time, some of the things that are
happening in the world are pretty amazing here as well,
And I think it's important to keep perspective and make
your own judgment and not just you.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
Know, be a cynic exactly. Well, we're dying to see
you back in Australia.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
When you're on a long haul flight, you just sit
there and go hurry, yeah, fifteen hours, come on, speed
it up.

Speaker 12 (37:41):
I feel that way on a spaceship crossing the Pacific.
It's like, gosh, it takes forty five minutes across. It's
just we possibly get to shore.

Speaker 6 (37:51):
Please.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
But Chris, it's so great to talk to you.

Speaker 4 (37:55):
Chris Hadfield's Guide to the Cosmos head to fine dot com.

You're on the way to the moon. I'm sorry.

Speaker 6 (39:28):

Speaker 1 (39:31):
Of course she's disappointed. We're all disappointed. Not a new
Sarah go without blessing Monday. It's great when we give
the money away. Thought she was going to do it.
It'll be back again tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (39:42):
That's somethings this popped up in my social media feed,
no doubt might have popped up in yours as well.

Speaker 2 (39:49):
I wouldn't have I've seen a picture of it. I
wouldn't have looked twice at it because it's boised up.

Speaker 4 (39:53):
It's this man's attempt to scale the mooring lines for
cruise ship Dog to Sydney's Circular Key and.

Speaker 1 (39:59):
There he is the more tell me what the mooring
line is.

Speaker 4 (40:03):
Ties the ship to the dock. And there's a few
of these lines. I'm some bit of a nerd with
all the ship stuff I follow, qualified captain and boat
ramp fails and mooring lines snapping.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
If you've seen that.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
No, what happens?

Speaker 1 (40:16):
Well when they snap that, I'm muck around you, you know,
want to be anywhere near that, right?

Speaker 2 (40:21):
How would it snap?

Speaker 1 (40:23):
Have you seen the size of a ship that's big
a lot of times?

Speaker 4 (40:26):
Anyway, you look at those ropes and in the old
days the starways, they used to climb up the rapes
and they get onto the ship to start their new life.
Old mate, here, I think he's just wandering around the
key area there seeing the rapes and thought, you know
what I reckon? I could climb those and one of
his mates probably said, okay, sunshine off you guys.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
If you can do it, how far is it? And
also I can see on the picture there's two ropes.
He's draped around them, both like a like a monkey
going up a ladder.

Speaker 4 (40:54):
He's made a fair fist of it, but halfway he's
and clearly people have cottoned onto.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
This is it like it's a big climb.

Speaker 1 (41:01):
It's a fair whack water over water, it'd be bad.

Speaker 4 (41:06):
I reckon it'd be about fifty meters and a gradual slope.
Didn't have gloves or anything, so he's going to get rope.

Speaker 2 (41:12):
Burned, which is why I can see from the photo
he has got his knees in his arms around each
sort of rope like a ladder, as I.

Speaker 1 (41:18):
Said, and he's got slides on. That's weird.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
Apparently people were congratulating him and cheering, of.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
Course, because he didn't lose his shoes. He keep wearing
slides slides with socks as well.

Speaker 4 (41:29):
Not an ideal fashion choice, but brather for keeping those
on your feet.

Speaker 2 (41:33):
So what was he a trouble maker? He just thought,
you know what, I'll have a guy.

Speaker 4 (41:36):
There's what guys do, and largely women don't understand.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
It makes no sense to me. I don't think a
woman would ever look at that and think I'm going
to do that.

Speaker 1 (41:44):
Guys do that. You look at a tree, I'm going
to climb that tree.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
I'll have a crack at that was the last time
you climbed a tree.

Speaker 4 (41:49):
It has been some time, but I used to love
climbing trees. I used to love it all the time.
It was such a fun thing. I remember years ago,
I was about twelve. I was in Bendio climb this
massive tree, got to the top and this guy. I'm
up the top with my brother and my cousin and
this guy's waving at us, and I went, oh, where
are we in trouble? So I've climbed down the tree

(42:10):
and he said, jadd you boys get up there, and
we said, oh, he just climbed up, and he goes,
I'm from the local newspaper. I'll get a picture of
you all right here. So then I started climbing back
up the tree. In the meantime, he's taking a picture
My brother and mccassin. Front page of the Bendigo Advertiser,
or if it's called these two boys climbing the tree,
and there's no mention to me.

Speaker 1 (42:32):
Your life. I set the deal up. He set that sweet,
sweet deal.

Speaker 4 (42:37):
So as I'm climbing up the tree, he's taking the picture.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
I thought the story was going to end with you
having to be rescued like a kitten.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
You had to get the fire brigade in. No, no, no,
not at all. But that's what guys do.

Speaker 2 (42:47):
Well, the tribal drama is going to be for this.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
This is what guys do.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
We're calling this a guy.

Speaker 1 (42:53):
I'll give it together.

Speaker 12 (42:54):
It.

Speaker 4 (42:54):
Don't dumb women ever get tempted by that. Don't you
ever go I'm gonna have a go at that. No
cartworks you see girls doing cartworks.

Speaker 2 (43:02):
Children I have. I'm not going to think I'll give
that a go. My pants, I'll give.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
That a go. You're very good. What if you looked
at you thought I'll give that a go. Podcast A
man has been arrested.

Speaker 2 (43:21):
It's not like you're saying Amanda has been arrestled.

Speaker 4 (43:23):
Well, you wouldn't do this because you're reasonable, you're sensible.
I can't imagine you doing anything crazy.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
I can imagine you doing something.

Speaker 4 (43:30):
Yeah, I do something like this, And as I get older,
I'm less inclined to do crazy things.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
You won't catch me doing crazy things these days.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
Well, tell us what this man's done.

Speaker 4 (43:39):
He's repelling up the mooring lines of a cruise ship
in Sydney Harbor.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
If we're just wearing regular clothes and a pair of slides,
and it's not just one rope, there's two ropes, and
he's going He's got his arms around them and his
legs around them like a ladder without the middle rung.

Speaker 4 (43:51):
He's halfway up the rape. He can't go any further.
People have called the police, and the cops are shadow
and say, okay, mate, come on, will they get him
down to slacken the mooring robes from the ship. So
they lowered him onto the police boat.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
He's probably relieved because he couldn't get further up.

Speaker 1 (44:06):
Yeah, and you do know want to pop into the harbor.
I could have done it, And the police told me
the trouble trumps pleading. I'll give that a go.

Speaker 12 (44:14):
I'll give it a go.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
Jess has joined us alo Jess who gave what a guy?

Speaker 10 (44:19):
Well, I was wrapping a present the other day and
I got to the end of the wrapping paper roll.
So of course the cardboard tube I decided is he
just let this go into the recycling And my seven
year old son runs after me, No, Mom, don't do that.
I want to try something. So he grabbed it with
his flat and farts through it and started to quality
far trumpet. And my husband's in the room and he goes,

(44:40):
wait a second, Wait a second, I want to.

Speaker 8 (44:41):
Have a go through no landrip farting trumpets.

Speaker 4 (44:48):
Oh that's funny, husband, See Christmas the corner, forget the gift.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
Yes, Simmer's jo hi sim.

Speaker 8 (45:01):
Hi jasi in Amanda?

Speaker 3 (45:02):
How im?

Speaker 2 (45:03):
Well, what did you attempt?

Speaker 1 (45:04):
Is this you?

Speaker 8 (45:05):
It is me?

Speaker 3 (45:06):
Yes.

Speaker 8 (45:06):
So in the nineteen eighties I had some cousins visiting
from Canberra and we were at the Sydney Opera House
and they actually dared me to climb up the sails.
So in a yeah, I sort of got there and
climbed about sort of three quarters of the way up
one of the sails, and I remember Mum yelling at

(45:27):
me telling me to get down, and then my cousins
also yelling at me to keep going.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
And how do you climb them?

Speaker 8 (45:35):
Yeah, So a bit like sort of spidered me, and
so if you can imagine, I took my songs off
my hands and I sort of scaled up that way
and there was a slight sort of art about half
of the way up there, So it was a bit
more challenging, but it was of a lot easier to
get down because I just slid down like a slippery dear.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
Oh, it was security in all this.

Speaker 8 (45:55):
Sim Wow, this was in nineteen eighty two.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
Configure, it's your mind. I'm very anxious watching this.

Speaker 8 (46:06):
She was, and she does remind me every now and
then about the story. And we have a bit of
a giggle together.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (46:13):
When you see the opera house, have you ever run
your hands on the tiles that and you think, actually,
you could climb up this thing pretty easy and.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
Then just slide down. What an extraordinary story.

Speaker 1 (46:25):
Thanks sim Jonesy and Amanda podcast Don't Have Bad, You
don't have bad? Where is he supposed to go?

Speaker 8 (46:38):
So?

Speaker 12 (46:38):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (46:40):
The man has been arrested trying to repel up some
mooring lines of a cruise ship in Sydney Harbor. This
popped up on my social media feed yesterday and I went, well,
how good is that?

Speaker 1 (46:50):
Tribal drummers beating for all. Give that a girl. It's
the demand of men largely. Peter has joined us. Hello Peter,
who gave what a go here?

Speaker 6 (46:59):
Good morning trying j Amanda. I'm me, two of my
friends and our older brothers. So there's six of us
and we were on the edge of this cliff and
there was this big boulder there. So we maneuver this cliff,
this sorry, this boulder to the edge of the cliff
and rolled it off. It rolled down and went to
the bottom of the valley, knocking all the trees down,

(47:21):
but thinking that there was an undercut underneath there, right,
so we could have so easily knocked the edge of
that cliff off and fallen probably two to three meters
at the very loose, breaking their bones.

Speaker 1 (47:34):
Yeah, but you didn't.

Speaker 6 (47:37):
We didn't know. It didn't, which was good. But it
was so risky and it.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
Sounds like a cartoon.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
It sounds like whilely coyote or something rolling a boulder
to the edge of the cliff and pushing it over.
Who looks at a giant boulder and thinks I'm going
to push that off a cliff?

Speaker 1 (47:51):
I do, do you? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (47:52):
We did it with a roller a grass roller. When
more kids of a cliff off a field and I went.

Speaker 1 (47:58):
To a guy's house, took out his carboard it. I
remember running across the oven.

Speaker 4 (48:01):
This guy came out of his house with a towel
around him, ran across the oval. Thought it was an earthquake.
And then he said someone's rolled a roller.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
Cornless boys and going I don't know. And then one
of the group rated us all out.

Speaker 4 (48:15):
It was him, him and him, and then we had
to make up some full story that were sitting on it,
and it just took off by itself.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
The grass, you know, they roll the cricket pitch with it.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
I'm seeing them boys and.

Speaker 4 (48:27):
Then and the priest or, the brother of the school,
he says, yeah, right, So you guys were just sitting
on this thing and been there fronto thousand years old
and it suddenly just took off.

Speaker 2 (48:34):
Remember when Jack went through his rock jumping phase, They
jump into the ocean from higher and higher rocks. That
lasted about three weeks and all the mother's fingers could relax.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
Thank you cool, Thank you notion podcast.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
Well, my boy Gojo didn't win Eurovision, in fact, got
no further than singing one batch of his song until
him they could go home.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
You discovered Gojo how many years ago?

Speaker 2 (49:06):
Probably ten minutes, ten minutes before he got I think.

Speaker 4 (49:09):
It's like seventy two hours that Gojo was in your universe.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
He's then you weren't really interested in him.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
And you want to taste from milk in front of
a giant blender, white load of style. It's so Eurovision,
quite frankly funny.

Speaker 4 (49:26):
You weren't interested in him until you saw the picture
of him.

Speaker 1 (49:29):
Yeah, Well, and he's got a bit of a ben.
I like the kid. I think he's fine. I just
think I like the kid. I think the kid's fine.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
Well, I think that was a great song. Obviously, that's
the milkshake song. Estonia came third with a song called
Espresso machiato.

Speaker 1 (49:46):
This is horrible, right, make sounds like this is red food.
To get out of it a stone that came third.

Speaker 2 (49:59):
Everyone got a bit anxious when the Finnish performer came
on because they sang a song in German. Well, in
German it's called calm, which means uncoming.

Speaker 1 (50:11):
It's too sexual for some where? Did they come?

Speaker 2 (50:17):
What an irony?

Speaker 1 (50:18):
They came? No my week? And then do you want
to hear who came second place.

Speaker 2 (50:22):
Well, there's a protest Palestinian supporters stormed the stage against
when Israel was performed. Israel was taken off.

Speaker 4 (50:29):
Stage while came to Palestine have an entry in there.

Speaker 2 (50:33):
Well, I don't think they've seen in the same way
all their differences with this song on the Kookie song,
this is Israel and they came second? What is not
as interesting as milkshap You know who came first?

Speaker 1 (50:52):
It was this This is Austria, and who's this lake?

Speaker 2 (50:57):
It's a man's Johanna's And this is a song wasted
love comes. It's not as good as milkshake. Australia was robbed.
Maybe they meant to say Australia, but they put Austria.
It's an easy mistake to make.

Speaker 4 (51:12):
It happened to anyone. I've got our entry for next year.
Who's that already in development?

Speaker 9 (51:19):
We're the sweetest sweet.

Speaker 1 (51:22):

When the posty leaves the we tried to deliver your
package when they didn't physically check to see if you're
actually high on.

Speaker 1 (52:01):
Come on her stem on? What else?

Speaker 2 (52:06):
Hey, Jonesy and Amanda, you know what gets my goolies
when you meet the perfect man and his daughters are
the devil spawn?

Speaker 1 (52:13):
Yeah, that's ironic. You didn't see that in Alana's Morris
that song? Did you know?

Speaker 4 (52:18):
That?

Speaker 1 (52:18):
Out of my dreams?

Speaker 2 (52:19):
But then he's beautiful wife and nothing what rhymes with
the devil's spawn.

Speaker 1 (52:24):
Maybe that's the problem.

Speaker 4 (52:50):
It popped up with my social media feed. A guy
is climbing up the mooring lines of a cruise ship in.

Speaker 1 (52:56):
Circus with his slides still on. Yeah, and he did
well to keep those slides on until the police arrived.

Speaker 2 (53:01):
The tribal drum is beating for old give that a
go just from Narrowena.

Speaker 1 (53:05):
The domain of men. That's what we thought.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
Well, she dubbed in her son and her husband.

Speaker 10 (53:10):
I was wrapping a present the other day and I
got to the end of the wrapping paper roll. So
of course the cardboard tube. I decided, who just let
to go into the recycling and my seven year old
son runs.

Speaker 9 (53:19):
After me, No, Mom, do I do that?

Speaker 10 (53:20):
I want to try something. So he grabbed it with
his flight and farts through it and started to call
it his far trump.

Speaker 8 (53:27):
And my husband in the room and he goes, wait
a second, Wait a second, I might have a go
through no.

Speaker 10 (53:35):
Farting trumpets.

Speaker 1 (53:36):
I had better have a goat to write a e T.
