33
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,240

34
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,640

Speaker 5: I met extraordinary people, and you know, not all of

44
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 5: them can be in the in the in the show

45
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 5: because obviously it's limited for time. But I met a

46
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 5: wonderful First Nation painter, Alan Mansell and his segment Isn't

47
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 5: in Isn't in it? I'm sort of sad because He

48
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 5: was so interesting and so gifted, and I really had

49
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 5: an insight into an Aboriginal family because they're so interesting,

50
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 5: you know, they're different from us. They have a way,

51
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 5: and it's it's really interesting to find out about it. No,

52
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 5: I met wonderful people. I've enjoyed it hugely, Miriam.

53
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,119
Speaker 2: You didn't stumble across anyone, anyone that pinned you down

54
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 2: and passed wind on you, did you? Or just Arnold Schwartzegger.

55
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 5: Look, Arnold Schwartzenegger tharted my face about twenty five years ago.

56
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 5: We I mean, I can't really worry about it.

57
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: We can't understand because I understand it was off offset

58
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 2: or it wasn't filmed at the time, off screen says

59
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: is the right word. So were you just playing around

60
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: with Arnie when he happened to pass wind in your face?

61
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 5: We were rehearsing end of Games, right, I was playing

62
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 5: victim's sister and he was having a fight with me

63
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 5: and I was on the floor and he was kind

64
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 5: of killing me, and my word, he nearly did.

65
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 2: Did he realize that he'd done it though, Miriam? Did

66
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: he say oh sorry about that?

67
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:45,839
Speaker 5: He did deliberately?

68
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: Of course, Anne, do you ever heat back from celebrities

69
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: when you because you are known for your Canada and

70
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: these amazingly fun stories you told. But does anyone ever

71
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: reach out to you and say, I can't believe you

72
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: told that.

73
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 2: No, well, that's good. It gives you the freedom.

74
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 5: I just I just tell the truth. I only interested

75
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 5: in the truth. Nothing else is in interest. And really,

76
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 5: celebrities are either here or they're The really interesting people

77
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 5: are the people that I meet on my journeys, on

78
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 5: my documentaries. They're interesting. Celebrities are just people who happen

79
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 5: to be in the public eye.

80
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 4: That's that's not well. But so you're you're quite open.

81
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 4: I mean everyone does. I mean, flatulence is a problem

82
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 4: in society and it's okay to do it and maybe

83
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 4: have a bit of a laugh with people. Miriam, I

84
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 4: think you would get a laugh with a few kids

85
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 4: here and there by dropping one around them. Are you

86
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 4: still prone to do that?

87
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm I'm a very determined farta.

88
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:50,119
Speaker 2: Yes, Because when you came out and said that leaving

89
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 2: Leonardo DiCaprio was a bit smelly, did he have an

90
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 2: issue as well or was that bo No?

91
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 5: No, he just didn't wash. He wasn't a farther in

92
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 5: any way. No, No, I mean some people are and

93
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 5: some people aren't. But he was just you know, some

94
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 5: young boys they don't bother with personal freshmen.

95
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 2: They don't.

96
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 4: Did Claire Dines in that movie? That was such an

97
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 4: amazing movie where Imia and Juliet.

98
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 5: It was an amazing movie and she was wonderful and

99
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 5: she has developed into a really fine acts I think

100
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 5: or Home. I thought that was an extremely fine piece

101
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 5: of work, just wonderful.

102
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was Mariam. I don't want to keep the

103
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 2: tone low, but you might have some words of encouragement.

104
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 2: Tom Oir, executive producer, has been married for close to

105
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,239
Speaker 2: ten years and never passed wind in front of his wife.

106
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: He doesn't have that freedom to relax completely at home.

107
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 2: Do you have any advice for him?

108
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm quite upset. Well, I think where does he

109
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 5: go if he wants to?

110
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 4: Tom? I think it's important for the romance. I mean,

111
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 4: if I can just sort of, you know, keep that

112
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 4: out of the relationship, I suppose and my my wife

113
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 4: is probably grateful for that. I think.

114
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 5: Look, I'm astonished we're having this conversation. Frankly, farting is

115
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 5: a perfectly normal thing. It isn't very important. I think

116
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 5: not to be able to fart in front of your

117
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 5: partner is an absolutely astonishing journal events. I don't know

118
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 5: what to say. I think I think they rethink their relationship.

119
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 3: Tommy, I'm so looking for Australian and mass Every Tuesday

123
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 5: Yes, that was a real surprise to me because I

124
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 5: don't normally hang around Bogans, because you know, I'm not.

125
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 5: I don't like their music. I don't like that they're noise.

126
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 5: It's all a bit loud and rough and and yet

127
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 5: when I met actually met the Bogans and got to

128
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 5: know them a bit and spend a bit of time

129
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 5: with them, I really enjoyed myself and I thought they

130
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 5: were delightful.

131
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 2: We are.

132
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,160
