Speaker 1 (00:04):
The Will and Woody podcast. When should you start giving
pocket money? And how much do you give?

Speaker 2 (00:14):
I said before, I said, I said before to you,
what's the most disturbing thing a three year old can do?
And well, for me, my three year old daughter, I
asked for pocket money for doing.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
A job the other day. Did she even hear of
the words what's your wife doing?

Speaker 3 (00:28):
What?

Speaker 4 (00:28):
She?

Speaker 5 (00:29):
What is?

Speaker 1 (00:29):
She put?

Speaker 2 (00:30):
It was, yeah, I look, I feel like we have
years of free labor ahead of us.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Yeah, I thought so as well.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
But she gave like Max is asking about coins and
then could she have some coins?

Speaker 1 (00:44):
And then a rock? Man, it's a coin. She's not
she knows the doing a rock and a coin. Still
working her.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
In rocks for the next ten years, her first page,
it will be in rocks and.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Never know the difference.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
So so, yeah, so we're giving her a wallet and
she does, and she does, and she said to Sam,
can I have some more monies?

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Sam was like, oh yeah, but like, you.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Don't just get money for free, so you know, if
you go and wash the windows and go for it.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
She sounds like she was on a ladder.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
No, no, she was just she was just out there
having the windows. But the reason is, so this has
kind of been I don't know, like we'll give her
a twenty cent piece and it's just nominal. I may
as well give her a rock. She doesn't really care.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
But I was reading today, I find a twenty piece
these days. I think we went and got some. Yeah
you have to. Yeah, because well there's the thing.

Speaker 6 (01:34):
I can't transfer her, no, but I think you could
make her think that though, like I'm just transferring.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
It's all of your thousand dollars. It goes just.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Right in a check.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
So the reason this came up, and maybe that the
transferring thing is actually part of this question like like
how much do you give your kids and when do
you start giving it to them? Because I'm sure there
are people little this thing right now who have got
teenagers and like you know, cashless society. I'm sure you
are probably transferring them these days, aren't you, right.

Speaker 6 (02:06):
Well teenagers sure, yeah, yeah, I think when they get
in years, I'm fully for the doing some chores. That
understanding that you do work makes some money. It's a
good lesson to start learning. Yeah teenage years there, Well, okay,
so have a listen to this. So oh Jesus, he.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Gets so angry.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
It's worked up about this topic. Every dollars a prisoner
for woods. So new research from IMNG shows today's kids
receive an average of seven hundred and fifty dollars a
year in pocket money.

Speaker 6 (02:38):
So give me an age, though, how old are these
kids that are making so?

Speaker 2 (02:41):
So this is across that's just on average, right, So
this is across a bunch of different ages.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
But five to seven year olds get six dollars fifty
a week. Yeah, yeah, Eight to ten year olds ten.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Dollars thirty a week, okay, eleven to fifteen year olds
fifteen to fifteen sixty a week, and sixteen to eighteen
year old's get twenty two dollars on average a week.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah. Yeah, I think that seems about right.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
I think that that's not representative of what parents give
their kids though for money, do you think they give more?
I think some parents would give more than that. I
reckon well, Generations Z alpha and millennials have received so
Generation zed ALF millennials apparently eleven to twelve dollars a week.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
But the baby boom is.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Apparently we're earning three dollars forty a week, which is
the sort of money that I feel like was instilled
in us when we were kids. Yes, if you actually
were given ten cents for breaking the leaves in the
garden something like us. So I just thought, as two
dads kind of going into this because this is something
we're going to have to consider. I want to ask
you guys listening on thirteen one and six five, like,

(03:46):
at what age do you actually start.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Giving pocket money? Yep?

Speaker 6 (03:51):
And how much do you give because you can link
it with like a chool that you give them, so
like what's the going rate for, for example, unstacking a dishwasher.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Because it's a bit of a joke right now, but
I am very worried about the fact that Max is
going to you know, be seven year eight years old
and do a job and be asking for a transfer, and.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Like it's going to be intense.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
She's going to start demanding that cash. And I just
even know where to start. I don't know what the
entry point is, I don't know what the exit point is.
I don't know how old I say she considered.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Giving her money? Yeah, yeah, so thirty one to six
y five.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
If you listening to this and you give your kids
pocket money, when did you start giving them pocket money,
and how much do.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
You actually give them?

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yeah, give us just a sliding scale, because I mean
woods will be running it effectively a pogrom or Russian
slave camp for as long as you possibly can.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
We'll start off with that's covering your rent. You know
what I mean. You've just paid bared, well done, well,
daughter's asking for coins? You know there?

Speaker 2 (04:47):
You know that they will, like remy will just start
going around your back and she will either steal from
you or she'll start taking, or she'll start asking mim.

Speaker 6 (04:53):
I'd respect that more, not the asking mim bit. I'd
respect it if she started rubbing me. Really now, that's
the kind of hungry that I want. All right, no
one gives anything to you. Got to take it, little robin.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Hood on my hands.

Speaker 6 (05:04):
Will you just wouldn't she successfully pulls off a theft
of me.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
I would be so annoyed if Max style from me,
I beat that would be like bottom of the barrel.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
That's right out there with lying.

Speaker 6 (05:21):
If she pulled off like a great like heist, though
it's not the bank job.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Am I in the other room when she grabs my No,
I'm not impressed by that. I would just is that
my wallet?

Speaker 6 (05:35):
No, no, Well, if it's a basic steal and not impressed,
But if it's an elaborate she'd.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Probably have to log into your bank account and then
forward the money on.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
They're impressive, all right, Kelly's killed six five Kelly Kelly?
How much? How much? How much barking money do you
give your kids? And how old should there be?

Speaker 7 (05:51):
My ten year old gets ten dollars a fortnight, and
my seventeen and fourteen year old get twenty dollars a fortnight.

Speaker 6 (05:59):
So on the seventeen and the fourteen get the same
amount of pocket money.

Speaker 7 (06:04):
Yeah, well they've always had the same amount. And they
have to do a few chores. And my ten year
old has to do chores. She's been doing chores since
she was about five.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
And what are the chores? Killed? Give us, give us
the running and gives just a couple.

Speaker 7 (06:18):
My ten year old. One of her chores is she
has to fill up the on suite and the bathroom
with toilet paper rolls.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Oh that's a good one. That's a handy one as well.

Speaker 7 (06:28):
Though, for little people to do, right.

Speaker 6 (06:30):
Yeah, how often do you sit down with your employees
slash kids and discuss like increases of.

Speaker 7 (06:39):
Pay Oh, we talked about for the big ones having
an increase because they were kept asking me for money
in the school holiday. Wallow, don't ask me for more
money for socializing, Yeah, because.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
We needed for because it's not playing a movie to
get these days. So no, it's definitely not so Kelly.
Your kids aren't going to the movies.

Speaker 7 (07:02):
Well they do, but they have to save up for it.

Speaker 6 (07:06):
It's flipping all of a sudden, because yes, I remember
my parents saying that to me, Like when I would
ask for money, they would go like, well use the
pocket money.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
You haven't saved it, Yeah, could have used it. That's
what this study is about. Apparently, this new I in
G study said that parents who gave their kids less
pocket money taught their kids good saving habits. That's what
I'm talking about. That's that's a parent you were talking about.
Your are stealing from you. Janet's called on thirteen one

(07:33):
or six five jacket. Janet, You've never given pocket money.

Speaker 8 (07:36):
I have never given my children pocket money. So I
have three children fifteen, twenty seven, and twenty nine, and
I have never given my children pocket money.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
How do they go out? Like, how do they hang out?

Speaker 8 (07:51):
So they have jobs?

Speaker 1 (07:53):
What about when they were young? What about when they're like,
you know, ten and they want to go to the movies.

Speaker 8 (07:57):
Well, normally at ten we will take them to the movies. Yea,
so we would pay for that. But if they want something,
they have to earn it, do something different.

Speaker 6 (08:10):
Outside of the home. Let's go and get like a
proper job away from you all.

Speaker 8 (08:15):
Yeah, all of my children have had jobs from as
soon as they can get jobs. And I think for
me it was around if you need something, you need
new socks and hondies or new school clothes or shoes, whatever,
then absolutely I will buy it for you. But if
you want a new PlayStation, nothing in life is free,
so you have to work.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Good message. Wow, Janet, you like Janet?

Speaker 6 (08:38):
I love Janet. I love Janet. We'll talk off air,
jan I like that. Pray for Emmy really, but she'll
be fine because out of the fish, out of the furnace,
we grow a diamond.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Ad here, madam, it's continually feeling. If she's a commodity
for you to trade as well. Yes, and we've got
free labor for a number of years. That's fine. Now, Matt,
you've got two daughters, yeah, correct, Yeah, six and ten. Okay,
so how old and how much you're given him?

Speaker 7 (09:06):
Six and ten?

Speaker 4 (09:07):
And I think I'm getting screwed here, but they go
to get about fifteen bucks a week and that's they get.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
That's fifteen a week. Yeah, well they spend the week
that's trying to damage control camar visits. I hang on
a second, may say there's one hundred and twenty dollars
a month.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Yeah, two and a half grand year and pocket money.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
Yeah when you put it like that, mate, yeah, yeah, they.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Get their money.

Speaker 6 (09:35):
Why did I get a random woman's name tattooed on
my body? Will science? Raw science? Let me take you
all to the lab. So I realized last week that
I just and I truly believe this, that if you
get your name tattooed on my body, then you will

(09:57):
get good luck.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
And this isn't just a random thought.

Speaker 6 (10:00):
Last year, I got Jessica Hull's name tattooed on my body. Okay,
she's an Olympian, she's a runner, she's a fifteen hundred
meter runner. Okay, her name on my body? She won
a silver medal in Paris last year. Bloody impressive not
claiming it at all. She's obviously worked incredibly hard to
win a silver medal, but maybe it contributed a little bit.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
But you got that you hadn't change it because you
said that she was going to He said, Jessica whole gold,
and she didn't win the gold to change it.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
But she's still got a silver medal, right, she still
got a silver medal. Okay.

Speaker 6 (10:31):
Then I was watching the World Championships. Recently, Jessica Hull
wins a bronze medal in the fifteen hundred She's the
first Australian to win a medal in a fifteen hundred
meter event at any World Championships ever. And I was going,
gee whiz, Jessica Hull's life is going pretty well since
I had her name tattooed on my body.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
So now I started.

Speaker 6 (10:51):
Thinking again, not to take anything away from what jess
Hull has achieved, but like, maybe I have contributed somewhat,
you know, like is it lucky to have your name
tattot on my body? Then last week a woman called
Selena called up because I wanted to fully prove this.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Naturally, you were cynical, you were pessimistic.

Speaker 6 (11:07):
Will You were like, there's just no link here, And
I said to you guys, do you need some luck
coming up? Because I'll get your name tattooed on my
body and then I guarantee you you'll get that luck.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Selena called told us this, I need a lot of luck.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
I'm going to buy your house. I'm just waiting for
the final approvals on the bank.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
Also, I have given an interview in one of the
jobs and I'm waiting to hear back from them as well.

Speaker 6 (11:34):
Okay, so you've got job and house on the line.
Those are the terms, right, She needs a little bit
of luck for those two things. Over the weekend, will went,
I got Selena's name tattooed on the body, a bit
of a toe job. So I've got Selena written on
my toes. Oh yeah, Do you think this will bring

(11:55):
Selena Golow?

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Absolutely? Now, absolutely the best of luck. She's got a sleigh.
This is the first of her new life with luck.

Speaker 5 (12:10):
Have a look at this, William, Selena's name written on mattos. Unfortunately,
six letters, so I had to do it over two feet.
So I covered the right Celene and then an A
on the left. Do you want to see it?

Speaker 4 (12:29):
Joel?

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Did me dynamic tattoo? They are the best stuff done
at Dynamic Tattoo. Joel's an absolute legend.

Speaker 6 (12:34):
So yes, well I've got Selena's name tattooed on my body.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
Wife not happy?

Speaker 6 (12:41):
She was how much I don't know dollars wow, which
I'm hoping that work will reimburse before.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
But anyway, so yeah, how did it go with him?

Speaker 2 (12:52):
Because you haven't got her name tattooed on you, you
haven't got your daughter's name remy tattooed on you.

Speaker 6 (12:56):
It's an interesting situation because I already have another woman
tattooed on my body, as mentioned Jess, so I don't
know her, she's.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
On my body.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
And got an animal for a woman called a Laura
who was a a She's got a reality TV contestant
you're a horse for her.

Speaker 6 (13:12):
So technically this is the third tattoo that I've got,
which is for a woman that is not my wife. Yeah,
so this was a This was a pretty interesting chat
over the weekend as to the location as to wear.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
So Mim was off it. She was like, this is
just a.

Speaker 6 (13:26):
Radio idea, right, You're not actually gonna And I was like, Mim,
I actually like, because I believe this, I think I'm
a good luck charm with this whole thing. So after
some pretty ten for someone else, some pretty tense negotiations,
he agreed toes is okay, So, okay, I've got Selena.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Come off under your foot. So this was I had.

Speaker 6 (13:45):
So I said to my wife, I said, I think
I think if it's on the bottom of your foot,
I think after quite a while, it will rub off.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Anyway, mim doesn't know this yet, but I had.

Speaker 6 (13:55):
So I had that chat with the tattoo and I
was like, oh, so this will rub off and he
was like not necessarily.

Speaker 4 (14:01):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
He was like, because we've you know, I'll pound down.
He didn't use those those terms. I'll go deep. Wow.
He said that to me, and I was like, don't
go too deep. And then because I was.

Speaker 6 (14:11):
Like, I wouldn't mind it coming off, and he was like,
at the end of the day, I just don't know.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Okay, went ahead with it because well, I love science.
You love science, and you love Selena. I love well,
I don't. I don't necessarily love Selena, okay, but you
love her cause if I here's.

Speaker 6 (14:25):
The thing, if I find out if Selena's got the
job and she's got the bank loan, and I, and
this proves that obviously getting your name tattooed on me
is good luck.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
All I'm thinking is money, Like I can monetize this.

Speaker 6 (14:37):
Oh, I get more tattooed because now I go proven
that I'm a good luck charm. How much will you
pay me to tattoo your name on my body?

Speaker 2 (14:45):
All right, let's go to a song because we've got Selena,
who's going to join us right up next with the
news massive.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
Do you know which way this goes? Interesting? I do know.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
I'm privy to that information. I'm privy to some other
information that I think you should. Probably you fully appreciate
that this is I mean, this is amazing. I'm the
precipice on No, I'll call this a coincidence.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
I could be like the elephant.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
I'll need to see I don't know in what way,
but I'll need to see three. You'd have to do
it three times for me to believe in it. We're
gonna find out if it's real. Strike one up next,
willand Woody.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
Woodrow.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
You've got a woman's name called Selena tattooed on you
over the weekend.

Speaker 6 (15:31):
I won't go into why I believe this, but I
just trust me. I truly believe that if you get
your name tattooed on my body, you will get good luck.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
Selena reached out.

Speaker 6 (15:40):
She's going for a bank loan and a new job,
right she needs a little bit of luck with those
two things. So I went and got her name tattooed
on matoes. Okay, I am now one hundred percent of
the belief that she will get good luck. Because of that,
I think we're about to hear that she has got
the job, She's got the bank loan, she joins us

(16:00):
on the phone, right now, can I can?

Speaker 1 (16:04):
I can there?

Speaker 3 (16:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (16:07):
Okay, so so well, first of all, Selena, I mean
let's just say, you know, how do you feel about.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
The commitment from Woods getting the name tattoo.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
I can't believe you actually.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
Got at and you saw the photos as well, No,
I haven't Edelona will and Woo.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
You're on socials. You can see it for yourself.

Speaker 6 (16:22):
But if anyone else is into footshots, a lot of
foot so that's what you're into, not necessarily you, Selena.
I do want to make a clear Selena, just in
k you are sounding very ungrateful for what I've done
for you, Like there is an ulterior motive for me
that I'm I'm seeing that maybe I can monetize this
later on with people. How much money you're going to

(16:42):
pay me to tattoo your name on my body? But
but you are effectively my guinea pig here, Selena, just
to prove that I am actually a good luck charm.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Well, yeah, I don't think this will prove it, but
I think if you get it, that'll be the first
of three. You well, you said you're a scientist, mate.
All scientists know that the first shots are callcidents.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
This is the second time Jessica Holes had the whole retrospectively.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Now, Selena, Selena, So you've got two things that you
were trying for that you needed to look for. You
needed the home loan and you needed the job. Yeah, okay,
with let's start with the home line. Did you get
the home line?

Speaker 7 (17:23):
I did.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
I did get it.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
That's unbelievable.

Speaker 6 (17:28):
Congratulations, Selena.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
I'm part of that now. I'm part of that.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
Yeah, you are, thank you for.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
And that's your that's your second home, Selena. As well.
Just living your capitalis queen life. We love it. Long
live capital is all right, Donelena? I should have asked
for a Selena. Yeah, alright, Selena. Yeah, number two, here
we go. Did you get the job?

Speaker 3 (17:56):
Not yet. I haven't heard anything from them. It's been
like two weeks, so I'm still waiting. Even if I
don't get it, they should be like telling me that
I haven't got it. But I haven't received anything yet, Selena.

Speaker 6 (18:07):
Like, I'm gonna be honest with you, Selena, I did
say this before.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
That I got the tattered over the weekend, I got
it the same.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
Yeah, maybe I would hear something this.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Week because fresh luck. We're only talking.

Speaker 6 (18:17):
We're talking six hours of luck so far. So okay,
just just wait, trust me, the job's coming.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
Okay, Well there's that going on.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
Did you do it on a Sunday?

Speaker 1 (18:27):
Well? I did actually this morning? Actually did this morning?

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Oh really? Maybe then I'll get it.

Speaker 6 (18:32):
This week and find you wipe by that phone in Selena.
Don't you miss that because.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
I have actually given hope that I won't get it
because it's been like two weeks. They haven't said anything
to me. I even a follow up message, but they
didn't reply.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
Anything, or I haven't replied anything could happen there. There
is probably one extra piece of information.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
That you should give Woody.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
Though, Selena, because at the end of the day, this
experiment probably won't work.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
Will it.

Speaker 3 (18:59):
I think if I get a job, it would be
solely because wood he puts his name on the feet,
it would be because of that.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
That's nice. But let's just remind Woody if you could.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
Wood he has the letters S E L E n
A tattooed on under his It's.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
S A l I n A.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
No, it's not.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
I give the name. Sorry, it's still Selena so much.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
Hang on, you haven't got the job yet, right, not yet?

Speaker 6 (19:32):
Yeah, I'm gonna this is very visual. I'm just going
to turn the E into a very thick.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
Eye and and he and another E.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
S A L I n A double time.

Speaker 6 (19:45):
Yeah, I think, I think though, like, let's just think
how the like works.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
Let's leave it there. Time for Will's Reddit the best
of Reddit over the week.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Will a lot of time on this place, and I'm
just happy to share it with the world.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
This is the responsored bit. By the way, you've to
say that paid bits. I don't even need to. It's
Serena Williams's husband, it is. Yeah, get in touch. I've
actually got some good stuff talk about. Sorry sorry, sorry, sorry.

Speaker 6 (20:16):
I just want to make clear to everyone though that
just in case this does sound boring, not saying that
anyone will be thinking that, but just in case, I
am the judge, the master moving things on, adjudicator. If
you will, I do have a siren here if I
am bored and you have to move on.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
I don't want you to fight the siren, by the way,
I don't want you.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
We'll just a slight bit of power here, and you
need to respect it. Okay, but you know, if you
start wielding it needlessly and.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
It goes to your head and it goes to your
head quickly, it doesn't.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
Now well, this first one, okay, is from one of
my favorite Subridit's just English and I'm.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
So close to getting no I know, I know, I know.
But anyway, it was about idioms that have interesting origins.

Speaker 6 (20:58):
So you move on, move on, move on, don't start
with that. Don't start with that tripe. You gotta start
with you stronger stuff. I'm try and bring that back
another week, all right, do what you want. Fun fact
about William Dafoe.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
You like will okay, so Willim Dafoe was ready to
go full frontal nude in the movie Anti Christ.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
Did you know that? No?

Speaker 2 (21:20):
So, anyway, he's on this like he's in this scientific
labby he's he's full frontal nude. Anyway, when the producers
saw him undress, they decided he actually needed to use
a body double for the scene because Defoe's manhood confused
everybody on set.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
What do you mean it looks like a giant?

Speaker 6 (21:40):
Dick said, you look out a starboard and it looks
like a huge.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
Sorry, so confused because it was so large? Yes, yes,
makes sense? Is that wild? Just makes so?

Speaker 2 (21:58):
He were like, he's like, okay, ready from my full
frontal scene, goes full nude, and they're like, that's unrealistic.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
You're kidding, No one will believe it. Why did you
want the body double? Felt like, oh, I think you've
got a realistic well done? Well done? Isn't that crazy?

Speaker 2 (22:14):
I thought produced to calling that frat that's just factual, guys,
or what aren't you called fractual? On? That's that's great,
that's interesting, that's a great factor. Everyone's anyway, next one,
did you know that if you took all the iron
from your body you could forge a small nail?

Speaker 6 (22:31):
That's pretty cool. Now, that's pretty cool. You know, I
like body stuff. That's cool.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
Isn't that amazing? I'll move you on now. But that's
that's interesting? Is that amazing?

Speaker 2 (22:38):
It reminded me of that scene in X Men with
making know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
Okay, thirty two year old actress Britney Murphy. Here we go.
She died of pneumonia.

Speaker 6 (22:52):
Ama, I've caned this before because it just feels like
it's going to be a very negative and sad story.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
It's interesting. Okay.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
She died of pneumonia and so vere anemia at her
Los Angeles home. Her husband Simon.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Mom Jack, mom Jack. He also died died at the
same house of pneumonia and severe anemia. Yeah. They think
maybe it was the mold.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
How do you know that?

Speaker 1 (23:16):
It's just common knowledge? Is that? Is that the bit? Yeah?
That was the bit? Oh? Sorry, sorry mate, I think yeah,
I think yeah, no spoiled that.

Speaker 6 (23:22):
Sorry, I think it was mold. Yeah no, so get
your mold checked.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
Seriously.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
They both died of the same mold infection within a
month of each other.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yeah, you see mold in the house, all the mold people,
Is that right? Yeah? Man, for sure. When she wanted
for you. I'm about to give you the buzzer mate,
when you talk about.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
Mold return buzzer, buzz him, buzz him power.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
A drove. The Assembly continues Sunday nights at seven thirty
on ABC.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
I missed episode one, don't worry get all the episodes
obviously on I View. It is hosted by the wonderful
Lee Sales, who joins us right now on will and
Mordy Welcome Lee.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
Hello, lads, how are you spill?

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Short?

Speaker 4 (24:11):
Is it Willard William?

Speaker 1 (24:13):
It's just it's William. It is William, yeah.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
Wood because I was about to say hello Woodrow, Hello Willard.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Actually we actually just had this chat with somebody. Someone
just found out what his real name is. Yes, a
lot of people don't know my real name. My birth
name is Edward.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
Oh okay, so Wood is sure for Edward, Yes.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
That's right, that's right, and Lee is short for.

Speaker 4 (24:36):
Leonard. Some of my Melbourne mates call me lethal, which
I after Yeah, lethe Matthews exactly. Yeah, the AFL reference.
So I got that nickname from a few people, and
the common thing was people from Victoria.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
Yeah legally, well, obviously, when you're running seven thirty you
were lethal.

Speaker 4 (24:58):
Yeah, that was I like to think so it mostly
I get actually Salesy as my nickname because you can't
do a great deal with Lee. But it's funny because
when I'm home in Queensland visiting my brother, his friends
also called him Salesy, and I find it incredibly jarring
because I'm like, well he's not Salesy, eypeesucky.

Speaker 6 (25:14):
I'm almost going to have that with your siblings, don't
you where It's like because my brother, my last name
is white Law.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
My brother gets Whitey, So I could ever be Whitey.
Yeah you couldn't.

Speaker 6 (25:22):
Yeah, it's confusing, It gets confusing. I'm interested though, so
we'll just made the point before that. You know, on
the seven thirty report, there was a little bit of
lethal Lee that would come out on the occasion I
think always appropriate as well Lee. But in your life now,
is there a time where lethal Lee comes out?

Speaker 1 (25:36):
Again?

Speaker 4 (25:37):
Mostly on stuff like the kids You're having to be
told twenty eight times to put their shoes on, leave
the house. So then I feel like I'm having a
channel a bit of that professional Lee to say, did
I not ask you five minutes ago to put your
shoes on? And when they try to duck it like, no, No,
I asked you a question. Answer the question.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
Lease, there you go, There you go, You're back, You're back,
and I can hear it.

Speaker 6 (26:02):
Would you rather if you were set the task right
now try and get Tony Abbitt to put his.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
Shoes on all your kids? Who would you choose?

Speaker 4 (26:09):
Oh, one, Tony Abbot. My kids don't do anything. I
tell them. They have got no respect for the authoritate.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
Sorry, we keep one in the clock bait here.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
Lee, I am Lee is obviously hosting the Assembly, which
continues Sunday nights on the ABC at seven thirty. But
I feel like there was one particular Tony Abbit interview
which was arguably just one of my favorite interviews ever.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
But there're certain people that you would lick your lips
when they.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
Like was there was there was there a sense of
like grand final day at the a VC when you
knew that you know the PM was on and that
you guys had sort of like you had an angle
that you knew you could bust him on.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Was that was that? Was that exciting?

Speaker 4 (26:53):
Honestly? In all? Honestly no, because it's it's so nerve wracking.
If you've got the prime minister on you just just
you're going into it's so nervous. And of course those
things always look in hindsight like you know they were
kind of planned or calculated or whatever. But actually it's
only later that you know, Like I think you might
be thinking of an interview where Tony Abbitt hadn't read

(27:14):
a particular document that he has been banging on about
all day. Now. I didn't know going into that he
hadn't read the document. It just started to dawn on
me as he was struggling to answer the questions. I
was like, this seems so weird. It's like he hasn't
read the document. And so then I said, you know,
have you actually read the report? And he admitted that
he had not, and so yeah, Yeah. The times that

(27:38):
you're more excited is when you know the person is
really good talent, like for example, Shane Shane Warn or
something like that, and you just you know you're going
in there and it's just going to be fun, or
like Tom Hanks or something like that, their great story teller.
I mean, probably much like you guys felt today knowing
I was coming. You know, what do the heavy lifting

(27:59):
make you look?

Speaker 6 (28:00):
With the producers are popping champagne. It's all right, we've
got sales. She'll co host for an hour.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
For as long as we like.

Speaker 4 (28:09):
You try and shut me up.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
So we're going to stop asking about something you did
five years ago. Let's go.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Maybe it's a bit of a refresher for people who
haven't seen The Assembly what it's about.

Speaker 4 (28:19):
Yeah, So The Assembly is a show where there's sort
of fifteen to twenty autistic people who have an interest
in media or studying journalism and so on. They do
a basic Journalism Foundations course with mccroe University. Then they
come to the ABC. I work with them and mentor them,
and then as a group they interview a well known
Australian celebrity or politician or something like that, and they

(28:40):
can ask whatever they like, whatever chickles their interests, and
so you get some amazing moments where they ask some
very blunt or funny random stuff.

Speaker 6 (28:48):
It's it's awesome or sometimes awkward for you, Lee, because
last year it was brought up that maybe you should
have a date with Australian actor Sam Neil.

Speaker 4 (28:57):
Yeah, so one of the guys. I mean, the kids
are met to run or say kids, but they're all
young people, A couple of older people, but mostly young people,
the Dale who's a late late teens. Without running it
past me, he said to Sam Neil, I've done some research.
I see that you're single. Well, we happen to have
our own single journalist here, Lee Sales. Would you like
to take her out on a date? And so this

(29:19):
just gets dropped on me and Sam and I are
just looking at each other like, oh my god, this
is so embarrassing. But now I can't go anywhere without
people ask me, did you ever want a date with
Sam Neil? Which is what you're doing right now? And
here we are, we're actually married. I'm expecting.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
That's the scoop.

Speaker 4 (29:46):
First on Will and Woody and Slesy stick.

Speaker 6 (29:48):
With us commercial radio like a ductor water.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
Hey Sales, Now, I also would have mind following it,
because I mean, this is the same new question was
obviously a bit of a curly one, but these are
all you know, this is kind of the surprise packet
of the show. What is the curliest question that was
asked this season that we can maybe look forward to?

Speaker 4 (30:12):
Oh man, there are a few really curly ones. The
one that I was the most anxious about was a
guy called Oliver who's twenty seven. Wanted to ask Guy
Sebastian about losing his virginity because Oliver is still a
virgin and he'd read in the research that guy had
waited to have sex until he got married, and so
we wanted to ask guy about this. I was quite
nervous about it, very very personal question.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 4 (30:35):
But he did go ahead and ask it, and he
asked it in a very respectful way, and Guy was
just beautiful in how he answered ed. Hee was so
sensitive with it, which was really really nice. So that
was a moment where my heart was a little bit
in my mouth. There's a couple of other hilarious bits.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Where that's a wild question to ask.

Speaker 4 (30:51):
Guy's Oh right, well that's the value of this show. Yeah,
like none of us would. I would never ask that
in a million I would just never. It was just
so nice to him.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
It was lovely, beautiful.

Speaker 6 (31:05):
Slight different change of pace here, Lee, I was actually
listening to Chat ten Looks three, the podcast with yourself
and Annabel Krab and I'm gonna be that.

Speaker 4 (31:13):
Thrills me because you are so far off our demographic.
I think it would just be you and only one
other young guy.

Speaker 6 (31:19):
Well, it's great to be one of the few men
because it's a great listen.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
So so get around to.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
Say it's a great way to pick up cheap.

Speaker 6 (31:30):
Do you do you think your podcast is a great way?
Do you think if I was still single, Sailsy, I
should have been leading with it. I listened to Chat
ten Looks three.

Speaker 4 (31:41):
If there are any single men listening, you came to
one of our live shows, it's like ninety nine percent.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Well there you go on a date if you want
some common ground, and that's it. It's a funny pod.

Speaker 6 (31:53):
So again, this is a question I want to ask Will,
and then Lee you can chime in.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
But effectively, crutch Whiskers was just gust.

Speaker 6 (32:00):
In the podcast that I was listening to, which I
was really enjoying, and I didn't know what crutch whiskers were.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
Well, what do you think crotch whiskers?

Speaker 4 (32:09):
Well, I mean, I think you're so curious here to
see Will, because I thought it was something and it
wasn't what I visualized.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
It doesn't sound it does sound slightly perverse.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
Yeah, I mean I'm tempting to say that it's people
that shove cats down their pants.

Speaker 4 (32:26):
That is Wow, what a surprise. That is exactly what
it is.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
That was the whole podcast.

Speaker 4 (32:32):
I thought it would be an issue to do with swimwear,
but it wasn't. It was an issue to do with
If you're going to a black tie event and you've
sat down in your frock and you stand up and
it's got wrinkles across the lap, that's called whiskers.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
Crutch whiskers. It's actually it's actually quite vanilla. It's completely vanilla.

Speaker 6 (32:50):
Yeah, a real problem when you're sitting down sometimes because
I get croutch whiskers on pants.

Speaker 4 (32:54):
Sometimes I've got crotch whiskers right now.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
Yeah, yeah, you don't look now, but out of control.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
I'd like an eyebrow, wax lash tint and crotch whiskey
is taking care of.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Lee. Thanks for coming on. Hey, you're gonna go see
a brand new season of The Assembly. It continues Sunday night,
seven thirty on the ABC.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
And if you missed episode one, don't worry because all
the episodes are available on iView. You can see Guys,
Sebastian Ray Martin, Julia Morris, Steve Warre, Maggie Beer, all
new guests or Steve war or wah as Analyse killed
him before you can see Sales is furious all right,

(33:41):

Speaker 4 (33:42):
Thanks guys having meanways to hope.
