Actress, comedian and now author. And this is a beautiful book.
It is fantastic hit. It is with her very strong
wit and humor and her raw, honest account as we've
known right throughout Mary's life, with her childbirth story and conception.
She is absolutely raw and honest and it will help you.
(01:27):
And it's fantastic. You will get it in any good
bookstore or any of the major retailers. She's also I'm
so glad she's re enacted Fie. She's back on the
comedy circuit. She's about to hit the comedy festivals. She
was in Adelaide last month. She's Melbourne Comedy Festival after
Easter and then Sydney and Brisbane in May. If you

Pause is the book?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
And is she going to be on your podcast?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
She's going to be on Rage against the Menopause ras.
Yes she is.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Now some of you because we've got you know, new
people coming into the show might now I know this.
Patsy for a couple of years have been doing an
incredible menopause podcast that men listen to as well and
find out what it's like. It's a fantastic listen. It's brilliant.
It genuinely is really good.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Thank you very much. Yeah, it is on the iHeart.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
What are you going to write your book?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
It is it's a work in progress. Yes, I know
it is on the list. It is definitely on the list.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
What else is on the list?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
A lot on my list? People don't realize this, but
I've got a book coming out in August and the
same publisher. They're desperate for Patsy to write a book
about the menopause.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
It will happen as doing a marriage celebrant. Course, there's lots,
there's lots on my list of to do.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
She ain't ever doing that, chatt Yeah, well, we're a
lot of times just thinking about it. She filled out
the paperwork.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
But you got to say the name of your podcast,
DJ Range Against the Menopause. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
It's on the iHeart Network or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
For me, it's two TV shows and a movie I
rewatched during the week. The first thing is, if you
love the Game with Thrones, there's a prequel series called
a Night of the Seven Kingdoms. They're not great, being
monstrous hour long episodes. Game of Thrones half an hour one.
We actually watched it all last Friday night, my wife
and Night its brilliant. I was wondering if my wife
(03:15):
couldn't sleep because we'd watched the whole thing and there
was a lot of swords being plunged into people. She
had nightmares. Oh no, that we were living in those
times it's called Nine of the Seven Kingdom set century
before Game of Thrones. Absolutely brilliant and it's really funny
as well, very very good. The other thing I'm enjoying
is The Pit season two, one of the best, most
(03:36):
most what do you even call it? Acting? Sometimes when
we're watching it, you forget you're actually watching actors. There's
a reason why it's won so many warts. It's an
incredible show. And then I rewatched Circario, Oh, such a
good movie and Cicario two, two of the best action Yes,
(03:57):
I love Yes, Yes, Josh Browling back again.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
We're beIN show del Torre.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
How good that first one, that crossing scene, Yes, where
they're coming in out of Mexico. I watched it because
of events going on in the world at the moment,
and so I just wanted to brush up on some
of the politics and stuff like that. It's an incredible By
the way, the guy that wrote that, Taylor Sheridan, is
the guy that is the showrunner and writer of Landman. Oh, listen,
(04:23):
Tony's been watching real what's double thumbs up for you?
Speaker 1 (04:26):

new show Tonight at the Museum on AVC, which started
on Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (04:35):

Speaker 4 (05:05):

in my family's home over Christmas, and in it as
a joke, my sister had signed it alex Lee, future
TV star.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
She started on The Chaser and was on the Checkout,
and she's had a few other shows on ABC, but
this is definitely her biggest one and it's a completely show. Yeah,
it's her show. It's a completely original concept. So a
lot of shows, especially in Australia, imported formats from US
or the UK.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
But then you forgive me, yes you're welcome.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
But this is completely new, completely Aussie made, filmed in
a museum after dark in Tasmania, and it's all centered
around being in the museum and the exhibitions and the
experts and things like that.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
The guests take each other on and then they're trying
to win the prize of having the things that they
brought in with them on the shelves.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Yet the guests all bring in a little artifact.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I start to watch it, it's very good. It's just
just brilliant.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
