Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda gem Nation general anesthetic, had a few. Coming
out of the anesthesia, I get more and more anxious.
I've had a you know, IVF procedures, coleoscopy, colonoscopies, hip replacements.
Sometimes the colonoscopy, those those ones are supposed to be
the light twilight ones. I'm assuming with my hip replacements

(00:25):
and things like that they use a bit more something,
a bit more solid. But coming out of them and
you start to babble like an idiot. I remember once
for my first hip replacement, I was talking NonStop. This
is what can be embarrassing. And I remember you and
I were in the opening credits of Family Guy high
kicking down the stairs. Yeah is that real or not? Oh? Yeah,

(00:50):
that's real. That's what happened, Brendan. You went out drinking
the Darryl Braithwaite and didn't remember a single thing. We're
both concerned. But coming out of an anesthetic isn't a
pleasant experience. It's discombobulating and it's weird. It's like a
hangover without the hangover. It's very strange. I have seen

(01:11):
this footage of an effort they're making in a hospital
for well, the girl looks like she's a teenager. And
what they do is they try and make the experience
as pleasant as possible. But picture yourself here, so you're
pumped full of drugs. Your brain isn't sure what's going on.
You see next to your hospital bed a dwarf horse,

(01:35):
a miniature horse, so you don't know my going crazy?
Is that a very small horse? And then the horse
starts to do this. This is a therapy horse, miniature
therapy horse that plays a piano with its nose next

(01:55):
to your bed as you're coming out of an anesthetic.
Is that on a full sized piano or a miniature one?
Miniature horse mina piano? Yeah, it makes sense. Brenda hard
to move around piano and it can't play with its hoofs.
It's obviously playing with its snout, of course. But it's weird,
isn't it. My brother's friend was recently in Payladiff care.
He has since passed away. It's very lovely man. It's

(02:15):
a sad story. But when he's in palliative care, they
brought through support lamas like therapy lamers. I wouldn't want
any of that. If anything happens to me, you don't
want any of it. Right a motorcycle, so there's a
good chance do not do. I don't want anyone dressed
up as a clown. I don't want those stupid clown doctors.
I don't want little kids singing songs to me. I

(02:37):
don't want anything. We'll just put a bag over your head.
When Harley had a vaseectomy reversed a number of years ago,
he was waking up from anesthetic and in the bed
next to him a clown was waking up the man.
The wife had arranged for a clown to wait her
husband from anesthetic. What about Jane Barnes, Jimmy Barnes wife,

(03:00):
Remember Barnes, he was coming out of the thing. Jane
oor this sexy nurse latex outfit. Remember that? Yeah, And
then Jimmy goes, oh, good on your meat. I appreciate that,
and then Jane gets over. But they couldn't get it
off sleep. It was too tight, the jaws alive. You'd
prefer sexy nurse to lama, actually, Jane Barnes said, sexy

(03:24):
nurse outfit. Well, my dad was in hospital recently. He's
ninety one, and someone came around with a guitar to play,
and Dad can be a cerbic at the best of times.
If he's not in the mood and he's still in
the hospital, and I can see his lips start to curl,
and my brother and I just looked at each other
and he said, Dad, don't, just don't they Dad had
to sit there and listen to someone saying somewhere over
the rainbow gone him red
