Speaker 1 (00:00):
You and I have both done live television, and there's
a certain kind of oh, look at us. We talk
live here every day, so I don't know happening now,
But TV, somehow is more frightening. When I was hosting
Dancing with the Stars with Grant Denya and at the
very beginning of the show and the dancers turned the
gurned and turned themselves inside out, and the camera comes
to us and the auto Q breaks and you go,

(00:22):
what happens now?

Speaker 2 (00:23):
You are very good at this. That is why you've
been nominated for the Burt Newton Best TV Presenter re Award. Well,
thank you, Brenda, you follow the ATA.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
I appreciate it. But live television can be terrifying, and
particularly you're trying to be chatty and friendly and we're
like this in the radio, a thought comes into your head,
Things come out of your mouth before you even know
what you've said. You may have seen this. This went
viral on the weekend. This is the QVC. That's the
American shopping channel. Is it called the same thing here?
It is a shopping channel And the host Tony Bratton

(00:56):
was showing a wig that you can put on that
gives you this inc riedible hair style. And here's how
she managed to say it.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
I love to show the texture and this wave pattern again.
It looks like you went and got a blow job
at your blowout at your salon, and it looks beautiful.
All right.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
So here's what's happening today. We're having a huge beauty sale.
Everything ships to you for free, but that goes away
at the end of the day. I will remind you
that this is a one time only price.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
No, really, only one time only. That's so hard.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
I remember years ago a friend of mine, Louise, childhood friend.
She went on to become a hairdresser, and she met
out of town. From time to time she'd be coming
back to town and I drop in and see her.
Mum Helen, who was the loveliest lady in the world,
very refined, very proper, had a cup of tea outside
under the maple tree in her front yard with all
ladies of similar age and refinement. So Louise as I

(01:59):
still make no, it was very nice and you just
love listening to these ladies talk. And Louise was in
town and she said, oh, you don't have that give
you a haircut. I'm like, yeah, that'd be great. I'll
drop in see your mum. So I get there before
her and all the mums are sitting around there and
they're inquiring, Oh, how are you going, what's everything, what's happening?
What brings you here today? And Helen said, I just
come from a for a head job off Louise.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
That's the worst of options.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
I'm drinking, but tea.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Would you like a haircut?

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Did? Yeah? You had a haircut, but it was lost
on everyone, so no one I was drinking material That's
why I got a just cut.
