2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 2: Our next guest is a prolific author, having published books

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 2: with many titles such as do not open this book,

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: do not open this book ever, definitely, do not open this.

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:20,479

6
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,159
Speaker 3: do not open this book seriously. Apparently the content of

7
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 3: them is not as repetitive as the names. Please rock

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 3: into the show and hello.

9
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,400

24
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 5: a shopping center and no one came about that, and

25
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 5: I said, oh, maybe we could, you know, half an hour.

32
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 8: No?

33
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 5: I stayed a little longer, but then then I had

34
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 5: to go there. They were doing radio interviews and stuff,

35
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 5: and I had to take an interpret with me. So

36
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,920

Speaker 6: And did you still get a buzz because it's book

45
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 6: week at the moment seeing the kids stressed up as

46
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 6: your characters.

47
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 5: People always send them to me, which I love, and

48
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 5: I often ask say, can I post this one by

49
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 5: the end of the week. I'll do a little compilation.

50
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 5: But I just admire the parents that have gone full

51
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 5: peper ma.

52
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: My thing is a parent. It's a lot of blue

53
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: paint as well. It's cleaner for your characters.

54
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 5: The you know, obviously there's the cardboard cutout that sits

55
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 5: over people's face. Easy well easy entry level still requires

56
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 5: a bit of paint. It's when you see kids in

57
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 5: full paper mache balls that surround them that the newspapers

58
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 5: that I'm going, well done parents, their hats off to them.

59
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: So I was just going to quickly say on that

60
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: spotlight said they've got a heap of voucher people are

61
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: dressing up and they need rescuing. Thirteen twenty four ten

62
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: is a check on hundred bucks to drop the spots.

63
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 8: My nephews are right in the hitting zone, right Leo

64
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 8: and Oli. So Leo is turning five this week. Ollie's

65
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 8: to thank you because when baby sitting on the very

66
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 8: rare occasion, I just flick on ABC I View and

67
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 8: up comes the TV show and Whiz himself here.

68
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 9: Andy of course voices Whiz.

69
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 7: What does Wizz sound like?

70
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 4: What he sounds like this?

71
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 7: Oh he is English?

72
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, Because we kind of discussed that it was going

73
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 5: to be more fun for kids to defy someone who's pompous,

74
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 5: and you know, anyone uppity, you kind of want to go.

75
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 4: I want to listen to this person.

76
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 5: So that was the attempt there, And to be honest,

77
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 5: it was just the voice that when I first did

78
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 5: the books, my nephews liked the most, so when I

79
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 5: used to read it to them in bed, So there

80
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 5: wasn't a huge exploration as to how the voice would

81
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 5: come out.

82
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 6: So to your nephews now talking a little English accents,

83
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 6: you listen to too much.

84
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 8: English accent, about eleven minutes minutes and that's perfect.

85
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 5: And people said to me, you know why eleven minutes,

86
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 5: and I said, because I asked my sister and she said, Bluie,

87
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 5: even minutes and that's not quite long enough for me

88
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 5: to do the washing and the dish washer.

89
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 4: So what the kids will do it?

90
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: I'll go one more and if it's a thirty minute episode, no,

91
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: we're not doing one more.
