Speaker 1 (00:00):
I have a question for you, if the aliens came
to Earth, who is the one person you'd pick to
represent us? And why?

Speaker 2 (00:08):
A couple of options. One could be Phil Collins because
they'll go, oh, yeah, we've heard him before on the radio.
Traveling through space?

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Do you happen on the way to.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
You know, maybe Kramer Kramer Kramer from scien Fix. Can
you imagine the meeting, the surprise on their side, the
surprise on his side. And then I reckon, if there's
anybody who could do business, yes, with a strange creature
from out of space. It'll be.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Sadly, if she was still with us, I would have
picked Joan Rivers, but but she sadly is not with
us anymore and I miss her to this day. But
I'm so I'm going to have to go with David
Attenborough because I think he's perhaps the well he could.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Give them the story of the history of the Earth exactly.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
He is the you know, and he'd understand where, you know,
whatever it is that they want to tell us about
where they're from. He would be my pick. And plus
he's lovely to listen to and talk to him, very calming, soothing. Yes, yeah,
so We're getting a lot of texts. Someone has said
President Zelenski to represent Earth to aliens, courage to stay
firm for freedom and democracy and did not run. We're

(01:16):
offered a ride out of the Ukraine in twenty twenty.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Two, and they wouldn't care how he dressed. Yeah, no,
unlike the White House.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
No, let's go to well out and Angie, Hello, Angie.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Morny, Angie, good morning.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
How are you good?

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Who would it be?

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:32):
Well, for me, they definitely have to be Barack Obama.
Oh yes, I think if I was an alien and
I came down, I'd just be staring at him. Anyway.
I think the man's absolutely magnificent. If I could, I
know this is going to sound horrible, but if I
could do away with anybody, it'd have to be Michelle.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Oh even though, so just a laser bean from space.
Right on, Michelle, and I'll keep the other one. Is
that what you're saying?

Speaker 4 (02:00):
I really do like her almost as much.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
But you like him a lot more and you want him.

Speaker 5 (02:10):
That's a good pick.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
I like that. Thanks, and Michelle intelligent life. There must
be some out there somewhere leader there.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
I'm sure there is, But we only need one when
we meet them. Our question is if the aliens came
to Earth, who is the one person you would pick
to represent us all? And why? On the text, Liz
in Armadale says Prince William because politicians will lie, but
Prince William won't talk crap. He knows how to talk

(02:42):
to all walks of life. Politicians will have pr and
advisors and too many cameras. David in ki Ki, who
do you think it should be?

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Well?

Speaker 5 (02:54):
I reckon it should be very mad from health because
he doesn't take any crept from anybody.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Street and what do you want your bloody glas?

Speaker 3 (03:08):
So?

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Okay, all right, Raymar.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Raymar, there you go, Not Ralph Alf?

Speaker 3 (03:19):
What about Alf? Will?

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Maybe? Then maybe the Tanner family that's the one, because
they had experience.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
I've had some experience of Well, I think Alf himself.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
I hope an alien would be like Alf. That would
be the greatest alien welcome. But not even.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
David.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah, there you go, don't my cash? No exactly.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
But other than that, I love Alf.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Chris from Secret Harbor if he was still here, Robin Williams,
what a good job. I was just going to say,
he's been He's been an alien. No, no, no, able
to communicate.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
With Caroline and your kind said it would be the
chef from the Muppets, because no one understands what he says.
We don't speak Alien, so that'll all get along just fine.
You and I actually had a couple of Muppet thoughts.
I suggested the Great God.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
I thought Beaker Beaker might be good.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
I think Tim and Dianella has got a more sensible suggestion.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Hello Tim, Tim, good morning.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Who do you think Stephen Fry? It's got to be
Stephen Fry from everybody else. Yes, he is eloquent, he
loves to communicate, and you know, I reckon he'd be
right into it. He's up for anything, and he doesn't
try away from tough conversations. You know, he'd probably be
out there wats and all, you know, telling the aliens

(04:42):
that there are some good things in there are some
bad things.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Absolutely, he'd be able to reason with them.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Took their their off until until they pull out the
ray gun, and then.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
I want to see how he responds.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Steve probably tell them where the best the best Scotch
is as well.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
And because and you know he's he's very good friends
with the guy that wrote the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
So he's Doug exactly, so he's got a bit of
insight there. I think he's a perfect choice. Yeah, you're right.
You won't get any argument from me.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
With He's a safe choice, a safe pair of hands. Tim,
Thanks Tim.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
I don't know sometimes as well.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Oh, yes, I think it'd still be safe.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Ye, yeah, because we don't know how smart those aliens
are smart enough to give us a big miss obviously, Yes.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
So far they're not impressed. They're listening in on us
and they're going, yeah, yet, well why not?

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yes, So we pose the question this morning, if the
aliens came to Earth, who is the one person you'd
pick to represent us and why? Terry on the text says,
my choice would be Professor Brian Cox. At least he
may be able to understand where, how, why, and could
then explain it to the rest of us in a
way we could all understand. Meantime, Donna in Langford says

(05:57):
Chris Hamsworth. Because he's a perfect specimen for.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
This one, you might agree with. I think, Lisa Melanie
from Woodridge doctor Chris Brown. I could watch and listen
to him all day and night and hopefully they could too.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
Absolutely, and class. He's a vet, so he knows his
way around a probe.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
He does, Yes, he knows how it works. Joe and Balcatta.
Who's your choice for talking to the aliens?

Speaker 5 (06:22):
Oh yeah, Morgan Freeman, Oh yes, Morgan Freeman, or I
said before the Funds, Henry.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Mikler, the complete Morgan Freeman would definitely soothe them. What
would what would the funds do? Well?

Speaker 5 (06:39):
Because they're both very rational people in his movies, both
are very composed individuals. Just through your seeven, they got
very kind souls and in the world that sort of hate,
they will be very kind. And I guess that on.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
A vibe and if they give him any cheek, you'll
tell him to sit on it.

Speaker 5 (06:58):
Voice his voice, very voiceposed, as you.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Know, very very he would know. He would them into submission.
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Butler said Morgan Freeman as well.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah, he's got that, he's got that way about him.
Just yeah, yeah, so yeah, and he's played he didn't
he play the president when the aliens came one time?
Probably I think it was.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
God God.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
So he's got plenty of experience.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Steve on the text, said Neil degrass Tyson's my obvious choice.
Who else is more of a believer in aliens than Neil?

Speaker 2 (07:37):
He would probably know they're coming, you know all about them.
Caroline from yo Kin, who is your choice to represent
planet Earth?

Speaker 6 (07:46):
So definitely have to be Adele Adele yeah, because I
think that she already has her song to greet them
with Hello, Yes, and then she can keep them entertained
with her thousand number one hits.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
She might bring him down a bit with some of those.
I mean, look, you know, just quietly, very very successful singer,
but you know, not one for dancing. It be worse choice.
No like that? Thank you, Carolyn, Thank you Carolyn.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
All right, our winner today is on the text Mike
from Jinderly said he would send Keith Richards because he's
experienced life on Earth since the first organism crawled out
of the primordial swamp, and ruber.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Is could still be coming to Berth, he could be
more time. I like that he's seen it all. He
has seen it all.
