Yeh, Kip is definitely I do struggle struggling. Are you?
Are you normally a sort of a person who gets
to things early?
Speaker 5 (01:07):
Oh I am actually yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:09):
Now normally there's always someone in that relationship that are
always late and that's my wife, and she annoys and
drives me and.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Say, yeah, I'm the late person, so as your missus
the late person.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
Then Bernard, no comment.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
You don't want to start argument. That's okay.
Speaker 6 (01:25):
I don't want to go there.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
What do you do?
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Just sit in the car waiting, just quietly.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Again.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I saw these notes here and I was like, there's
no way that it's been twenty years for Tea and Sympathy.
It's incredible songs like this is hard, is hard.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
This is a this has to be out there with
the all time great songs.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah, playing the whole bit.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I don't care how long it takes. It's so good.
It's sad, it's such a great song.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
Now when you recorded that, did you know that was
just going to be that good of a song?
Speaker 7 (02:22):
But really you never know, you know, like you can
never tell. I mean, the thing is, it's more about
when you're writing, you you kind of have to think
that every song you're writing is the.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
Best song you've ever written. Yeah, as you're going.
Speaker 7 (02:36):
It's got to it's got to feel like it's really
worth it, you know. Yeah, And it's usually also something
that's you know, at the forefront of your mind.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
At the time.
Speaker 7 (02:51):
So that's part of the reason for writing it is
that it's a way of you know, being able to
express yourself about how you feel about something. And and
those two songs were both actually pretty quick. Wish you
well in particular that that was like that was about
fifteen minutes that's song took it was.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
It was weird. So that does haven't happened very often,
but yeah, it just kind of it. It exploded out
of me one morning when I had a blistering hangover.
That's what it were.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
You writing all your songs or you know, most songs
yours or all.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Of them, Yeah, all of them. So powder Thing, everything
on Powder Finger was all of us with this, with this,
with my own records. Yeah right.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Also, I love the setup for this tour that I've
not seen a show. I don't know if there's been
any shows here, but it's in the Cultural four quarter
at the South Bank, so basically whether they sometimes do
like I don't know, the restaurants and the grass like
that grass area, so that's it's actually an awesome spot
for a show.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
You the view will beings, it'll be incredible.
Speaker 7 (04:01):
I've done a couple of shows there over years and
it's amazing. It's an amazing spot. Yeah, really it's pretty
spectacular being right on the river there, and I mean
these days it's it's nuts that like that whole river,
both sides of the river, just really spectacular places to be.
Speaker 5 (04:21):

see you with some of the other people on stage?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
That might that happen?
Speaker 7 (05:07):

he's going to be there, So I'm I'll just forced
her to do it up and don't get between Chambers
and a microphone.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
There won't be much force.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
That sounded, honestly, that good.

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
