Speaker 1: Show and Tell friends, it's maur It's Monty. Thanks for
Speaker 1: listening today. Hooray, hooray, hooray everybody. Hi everyone, Hi, Amon's
Speaker 1: yeah good, I'm going good. If you're new to the pod,
Speaker 1: thank you for listening in. If you're an oldie, thanks
Speaker 1: for listening in. We were just saying we just want
Speaker 1: to preface that we know how fucked the world is
Speaker 1: at the moment. It's so fucked, and we had a
Speaker 1: big talk before this that we've got to bring ourselves
Speaker 1: back up. But this is not the pod you come
Speaker 1: for heavy news like this is your twenty minutes of
Speaker 1: a break from reality.
Speaker 2: Yes, we just want to keep it light because yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, yeah, we're all exposed to enough.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like sometimes it's so fucked and we
Speaker 1: don't acknowledge what's going on. We're very aware, we know
Speaker 1: you are too, but this ain't the place to come. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but don't kind of stuff. You're not getting any actual
Speaker 1: facts from us. Although speaking of facts, oh yes, we
Speaker 1: start every part with a fact. What do you got today?
Speaker 1: We do?
Speaker 2: Okay, did you know no that before mating, male giraffes
Speaker 2: head butt the females in the bladder until they we
Speaker 2: and then they taste it to see if she's ovulating. Wow,
Speaker 2: isn't that amazing?
Speaker 1: That's phenomenal.
Speaker 2: I mean, giraffe giraffe nature.
Speaker 1: It is wild. It's so fucked and fabulous. It's like,
Speaker 1: imagine we did that as humans, Like Sam just constantly
Speaker 1: knocking on my bladder till I piss on him and
Speaker 1: then he's like, yep, you're ovulating. Let's bone.
Speaker 2: And also how they're so evolved to be able to
Speaker 2: know that, like to think you can taste when someone's ovulating, Like, yeah, well.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's evolved. I think that's literally programmed nature.
Speaker 2: Did I say evolved?
Speaker 1: You said evolved. I don't think giraffes evolved.
Speaker 2: I don't think my medication is woking from today.
Speaker 1: Oh that's so fun cutting that bit out. No, you
Speaker 1: are not that his hands down staying in. Oh god,
Speaker 1: So do you see if her R and b Friday's
Speaker 1: Mariah Carey's coming out?
Speaker 2: I think Mary Carey's my new hero. What I feel
Speaker 2: like I need to play.
Speaker 1: There's a here. I can't watch her clips because they're
Speaker 1: just going absolutely bonkers at the moment of her on
Speaker 1: stage doing duets with different people. She can barely even stand,
Speaker 1: like she's severely medicated.
Speaker 2: You know what I think it is with her too,
Speaker 2: It's almost like she she doesn't move her face.
Speaker 1: No, there's no express there's no movement.
Speaker 2: I think that's probably because to me, I look at
Speaker 2: her and I'm like, she does look clock, she had
Speaker 2: a heep of work done.
Speaker 1: She's maintained. Yeah, sure she has. Though I think that's
Speaker 1: an active thing. A lot of people do. They try
Speaker 1: not to move their face as much, oh, one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: The first time I got botox, the lady's like, you
Speaker 1: need to try and train yourself not to move your forehead.
Speaker 1: I do it that all the time. I never raise
Speaker 1: my eyebrows or anything. Shit, Yeah, that's amazing, fucking sick,
Speaker 1: isn't it. But it's like just second nature now. I
Speaker 1: would never raise my eyebrows.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well I saw this clip of her on Instagram the
Speaker 2: other day. Also, it's like she can't sing anymore.
Speaker 1: She can't sing anymore. It's like they.
Speaker 2: Get to a point artists. I guess there's a quota
Speaker 2: of how many songs you can sing well, because it's
Speaker 2: like they lose their I guess their vocal chords get.
Speaker 1: Frosted total and everything in there is aged. It's like
Speaker 1: hearing Rod Stewart sing now. It makes me uncomfortable. I'm like, enough,
Speaker 1: hang up the singing boots or singing the shower.
Speaker 2: It's like the bon Jovi clip. Remember when he was
Speaker 2: at that wedding. No, oh my god. Bon Jovi was
Speaker 2: a guest at a wedding and the band started playing
Speaker 2: Living on a Prayer. Yeah, and they called him up
Speaker 2: to sing, and he sang.
Speaker 1: And you know that song.
Speaker 2: Would be actually quite hard to sing, like, it's pretty high. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's so uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: It's the worst thing.
Speaker 2: I'll send it to you, Okay, the worst anyway. So
Speaker 2: she's I think it was a week or two ago
Speaker 2: she did this interview. She said she doesn't acknowledge time.
Speaker 1: We have listened to this. Is it true?
Speaker 2: You don't acknowledge the passid of time? That is true?
Speaker 1: What do you mean by that? I just don't believe
Speaker 1: in it. What do you mean time.
Speaker 2: Zones or no?
Speaker 1: No, just time, just time times and no clocks.
Speaker 2: No, no, just not into that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let it go. Do you celebrate a birthday?
Speaker 2: I don't have a birthday.
Speaker 1: No, anniversaries.
Speaker 2: Anniversaries, yes, okay, great, but no birthdays.
Speaker 1: If we were to meet up later, how would we
Speaker 1: know when? It would just it would just happened on
Speaker 1: Mariah's time. Yeah, I would have somebody call you and
Speaker 1: figure it out. Wow.
Speaker 2: I mean obviously she's privileged, Like you want to meet
Speaker 2: up with someone, she.
Speaker 1: Literally would have somebody bringing a breakfast, her lunch, her dinner,
Speaker 1: saying tomorrow's your daughter's birthday. I've got all these presents
Speaker 1: for you. Like, she doesn't have to think about anything
Speaker 1: for herself.
Speaker 2: No, and she's you know, she's obviously not living in
Speaker 2: the same reality as us. God no, but the concept
Speaker 2: of it, I sort of think is pretty genius, like
Speaker 2: and not as in looking at the time on a clock,
Speaker 2: even she would have to do that.
Speaker 1: But the you know, we get so wrapped.
Speaker 2: Up in our age and whatever. If you just paid
Speaker 2: no attention to that at all, Yeah, there was no
Speaker 2: concept of time in that way. Yeah, it's actually quite smart, Like.
Speaker 1: If you just let it go and you just said
Speaker 1: to yourself, you.
Speaker 2: Know what, I'm not even acknowledging that, I'm.
Speaker 1: Just gonna go by how I feel or whatever. I guess. Also,
Speaker 1: when you're hungry just going and then bedtime like it
Speaker 1: would change, don't Because I see the time. I see
Speaker 1: eight o'clock, which is your morning. But for me, I'm
Speaker 1: like eight pm. I'm like, shit, I gotta start getting
Speaker 1: ready for bed. Where if I didn't know that, I
Speaker 1: wonder how much freedom I would have, what time I
Speaker 1: would actually end up going to bed. That a control
Speaker 1: freak would be my worst nightmare. See again, she doesn't
Speaker 1: have to pick up the kids from school, she doesn't
Speaker 1: have to get them to school, she doesn't have to
Speaker 1: take to the dentist. It's like life has times and appointments.
Speaker 1: She wouldn't have a friend in the world that she's
Speaker 1: meeting up with.
Speaker 2: Either unless they're on the payroll, and then she don't
Speaker 2: worry about that today. And that's probably why she's I mean,
Speaker 2: imagine living with somebody like that, having a relationship with
Speaker 2: someone like that. It's like Elvis, though, I guess when
Speaker 2: you're at that level, you lose touch with reality. Like
Speaker 2: he had no windows I think in his bedroom, so
Speaker 2: there was absolutely no light. He would like he I
Speaker 2: think even he lost his sense of timing and stuff.
Speaker 2: Because it's also something about being isolated.
Speaker 1: Yes, of course it would be such a hideous existence.
Speaker 1: So my mom was an event organizer yet I've told
Speaker 1: this many many years ago, but she was working, like
Speaker 1: organizing a conference at a big hotel in Melbourne, and
Speaker 1: the woman who was giving her like a tour are saying,
Speaker 1: this is where everything is showed her the penthouse. I
Speaker 1: think it was Crown or something like that, and this
Speaker 1: big beautiful penthouse. John Travolta stayed there when he was
Speaker 1: in Australia, and he demanded every single window be completely
Speaker 1: blacked out.
Speaker 2: I guess. I mean that's probably a privacy thing too.
Speaker 2: Like imagine paparazzi with those lenses.
Speaker 1: That you wouldn't be able to see in the windows
Speaker 1: of Crown Casino.
Speaker 2: They'd be so mirroredn I think those lenses are pretty good.
Speaker 1: God, I would like that is so wild. Imagine the
Speaker 1: requests that different celebrities have and in a penthouse the
Speaker 1: whole thing's windows so literally all blacked out. And yeah,
Speaker 1: so why are you up there?
Speaker 2: Then?
Speaker 1: Yeah, just get it, get down on the third field, dungeon,
Speaker 1: mate it exactly. It doesn't matter what the commoners. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know how you knew.
Speaker 2: Speaking of that, A really quick hack I saw once,
Speaker 2: you know, like when you go on holidays with kids
Speaker 2: and like how you want to get to bed and
Speaker 2: they're sensitive with the light and all that sort of
Speaker 2: stuff if the curtains aren't good in the place you're staying.
Speaker 2: Saw a hack once of a woman using a spray
Speaker 2: bottle on the window and she put foil. Oh yeah, window, yes,
Speaker 2: everything out. I was I wish I'd known that when
Speaker 2: my kids were little.
Speaker 1: Yeah, foil is a good idea. When Baxter's room was
Speaker 1: quite light when he was younger, I put black cardboard
Speaker 1: on their windows to block it out. But we got
Speaker 1: new curtains a little while ago, and they haven't made
Speaker 1: them wide enough, so I have a gap of light
Speaker 1: in between where the curtains touch. And it's one of
Speaker 1: those things that bothers me every time I close them.
Speaker 1: And I napped during the day, so I close them
Speaker 1: during the day and at night I close them, so
Speaker 1: two times a day. I am really cross. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: get it. It's such a head fuck, the little things,
Speaker 1: isn't it so funny? The little things just drive you
Speaker 1: absolutely mad. And it's also annoying when I'm like, that
Speaker 1: was a couple of grand or whatever you know, however
Speaker 1: much it was. I'm like, it's so annoying. I'm never
Speaker 1: going to replay that, but it bothers me severely. I
Speaker 1: wonder if Mariah has got the same problem. Oh myg
Speaker 1: too funny.
Speaker 2: Have you heard of this lady in Japan who's had
Speaker 2: this premonition about this tsunami? No, it's coming, Okay, So
Speaker 2: there is this lady. She's a manga artist. Didn't know
Speaker 2: what that was? Yecked it up.
Speaker 1: Yes, my son was obsessed with manga.
Speaker 2: Really comic? Is it sort of like comic?
Speaker 1: Yes, but it's also you read it from the back
Speaker 1: cover to the front. That would do my heading me too.
Speaker 2: Anyway. Her name's Ryo Tatsuki obviously not pronouncing that great,
Speaker 2: and she's been having these visions in her dream since
Speaker 2: the eighties. She's seventy years old now, and back in
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety nine she wrote a book called The Future
Speaker 2: I Saw, and there were things that she predicted in
Speaker 2: that that have come true. But the main thing was
Speaker 2: the massive tsunami in Japan in twenty eleven that killed
Speaker 2: like eighteen thousand people. She's predicted this huge tsunami is
Speaker 2: going to hit Japan. Sit On July fifth this year.
Speaker 2: But it's going to also impact other surrounding countries, so Taiwan,
Speaker 2: the Philippines, Indonesia anyway, as a result, there's been a
Speaker 2: massive decline in tourism over that period of time. People
Speaker 2: are canceling flights and all this stuff, which is obviously
Speaker 2: impacting those countries. Yes, I kind of wanted to ask
Speaker 2: you was if you had a trip booked to Japan, Yeah,
Speaker 2: and then you see that, would you cancel your trip?
Speaker 1: All depends how much money I would lose? Nah? I
Speaker 1: think I think I probably would. Yeah. I also am
Speaker 1: thinking if somebody predicted something here, would I get out
Speaker 1: of the country during that time? If somebody's been so
Speaker 1: spot on with their predictions, SAM would go, that's horseshit,
Speaker 1: there's no way where I would. Probably, Yeah, I would probably.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I act. I don't think i'd
Speaker 1: actively take the true but I don't think I would
Speaker 1: leave our country if it was predicted. You're fucked. You
Speaker 1: are fucked if something happens to Australia, like if there's
Speaker 1: a prediction like that, because you won't get on a plane,
Speaker 1: you can't drive to another country.
Speaker 2: No you No, I just go, okay, well I'm going
Speaker 2: to die. I actually read a very unsettling fact the
Speaker 2: other day, but it was comforting to me in some way.
Speaker 2: If you were close enough to some nuclear warfare or whatever,
Speaker 2: that the heat would be so intense at that moment
Speaker 2: that it wouldn't even give your nerves time to register
Speaker 2: the pain.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, you die that quickly? All right, I'm
Speaker 1: happy with that. Yeah, if you take me that way, smart,
Speaker 1: But I mean it would be you'd be like, the
Speaker 1: lead up would be completely terrifying.
Speaker 2: So yeah, you'd be you'd be so scared. Although is
Speaker 2: that different to any other death?
Speaker 1: So what would you do? Would you cancel?
Speaker 2: What do you reckon?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean it's hard. I wouldn't be going in.
Speaker 1: I know, yeah, because it's fascinating things like that. It's
Speaker 1: a little more accurate than the octopus that they used
Speaker 1: to use to predict who was gonna win. Was it
Speaker 1: soccer games or something? Remember that, Yes, was it the
Speaker 1: Olympic Games or something. They used this octopus and whatever
Speaker 1: it would crawl to. It had a good success rate.
Speaker 1: But I mean, I wouldn't change my life depending on that.
Speaker 1: But if a lady has predicted several things and predicted
Speaker 1: the tsunami and the exact actual date. There's something like
Speaker 1: I have had. I had two friends that were in
Speaker 1: Thailand when that happened. One of my best friends was
Speaker 1: over there and was waiting for her then fiance to arrive,
Speaker 1: and she just the story is just so fucking full on.
Speaker 1: But then my other friend was Trish Broadbridge at the time,
Speaker 1: and her husband was a Melbourne footballer and he ended
Speaker 1: up getting killed, and yeah, it's just it was the moment,
Speaker 1: it was the most fucked time. Remember it.
Speaker 2: You interviewed Trish as well. I try to tell yeah,
Speaker 2: I just always remember this is stuck with me. She
Speaker 2: was talking about when the wave was coming, how she
Speaker 2: was just standing there and they were just looking at
Speaker 2: it and it was so surreal that she said that
Speaker 2: her thought was, Oh, my camera's going to get wet,
Speaker 2: that's right, And I thought it would be such a
Speaker 2: surreal is the only way you could describe it. That
Speaker 2: you just completely, like so confused by what you're seeing
Speaker 2: totally that your brain can't compute. No, it's cleaning because
Speaker 2: it's so nothing you've ever seen before. My son watched
Speaker 2: Baxter watch the movie the other day. Of the tsunami.
Speaker 2: I forget what it was called with Naomi, Yes, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: and he was intrigued. He's like, can we please talk
Speaker 2: to Kerry about her experience? But just remembering that sucking
Speaker 2: out of the water and then the giant wave, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: There's so many things to be scared of. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: terrified when you think about it. Yeah, really, we programmed
Speaker 1: to think about it. If we knew really how fragile
Speaker 1: life was, the odds of us something happening every time
Speaker 1: we even leave the house, we wouldn't do a thing.
Speaker 1: It's funny, you know.
Speaker 2: Like I've said before, I'm terrified of flying, which I
Speaker 2: actually don't think is irrational. I really don't think it's
Speaker 2: an irrational fear. Okay, the probability of dying in a
Speaker 2: plane crash is very low, but when you look at
Speaker 2: what a plane actually is, it's fucking scary.
Speaker 1: Yeah. All that fuel in the air, all of it.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, how is this even possible?
Speaker 1: Flying through the air?
Speaker 2: Do you know? The last time I flew, which was
Speaker 2: my fortieth, I started to try and watch all these
Speaker 2: fear of flying things to try and get myself ready
Speaker 2: for it on YouTube. You know, I can't even explain
Speaker 2: to you. A lot of it was trying to desensitize yourself.
Speaker 2: So you know the sound of being in the cabin,
Speaker 2: the sounds that the plane makes, the taking off, you know,
Speaker 2: it would almost send me into a panic, scrunching to it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you get hypnotized. Nah, you don't want.
Speaker 2: To No, Well, I've done hypnosis for other things before
Speaker 2: and it hasn't really worked.
Speaker 1: I think it's just so in me, it's ingrained in you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I don't seem to bother you. See. For me,
Speaker 1: if I was to never get on a plane again,
Speaker 1: I would feel so claustrophobic. Yeah, Like if I thought
Speaker 1: I can't even get to Melbourne without doing a two
Speaker 1: day trip. I just see that is the opposite to
Speaker 1: you in terms of I would go, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I can't breathe if I can't get anywhere. And the
Speaker 1: thought of never going on a holiday outside of three
Speaker 1: hours away.
Speaker 2: Oh, and this is the funny thing, right, if I
Speaker 2: had to fly somewhere on my own, Yeah, I feel
Speaker 2: like I could deal with it better than if I
Speaker 2: was with my family, because I'm scared of having to
Speaker 2: I don't want to see that happening.
Speaker 1: You don't want to see the panic in their eyes.
Speaker 1: I don't want to see that. Prefer to all go
Speaker 1: down together.
Speaker 2: That's what Mark said. I'm like, what, you'd prefer the
Speaker 2: kids die as well? And he goes, well, how are
Speaker 2: they going to cope without us? And I said, they'll
Speaker 2: go on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they'll be pretty fucked up. It's like the
Speaker 1: Royal family never travel on the same flight. I mean,
Speaker 1: there you go, there you go, You're onto something. So
Speaker 1: the other week we were talking about near death experiences. Yes, right,
Speaker 1: and because there was a lot of people I think
Speaker 1: was it a podcast or a show you were watching
Speaker 1: where people were talking about their near death experiences Oprah podcasts,
Speaker 1: Oprah podcasts, and just how beautiful and how just encompassed
Speaker 1: with love they were when they died and were brought
Speaker 1: back to life. Anyway, we've got quite a few messages
Speaker 1: from you guys, but there's one I want to read
Speaker 1: out and this is from Chloe. Okay, because I said,
Speaker 1: have any of you experienced a near death experience? On
Speaker 1: social media? And Chloe wrote me back in my early
Speaker 1: twenties quite a while ago. Now, I had a blown
Speaker 1: anaphylactic reaction to penicillin. It started out relatively mild. I
Speaker 1: don't even remember calling Mum, but the next thing I
Speaker 1: knew she was there, having walked in to find me
Speaker 1: unconscious on the floor. The strangest part, I clearly remember
Speaker 1: watching the whole scene unfold from above the TV in
Speaker 1: my living room. I can still see Mum's face when
Speaker 1: she saw me. She was shocked and panicked, and I
Speaker 1: was above at all, watching, desperately trying to will myself
Speaker 1: to wake up, to let it know I was okay,
Speaker 1: to somehow calm her. It was surreal. I blacked out
Speaker 1: again in the ambulance and once more found myself watching
Speaker 1: everything from the ceiling. Earlier, when the hives had spread,
Speaker 1: everything was swelling and my vision blurred. I had this
Speaker 1: overwhelming sensation, A strange calmness came over me. It felt
Speaker 1: exactly like being at the beach, as if I was
Speaker 1: laying back letting the waves wash over me, peaceful, dream
Speaker 1: like until there was nothing. Then came the adrenaline, just
Speaker 1: like you see in the movies. The moment it hit,
Speaker 1: jolted upright instantly awake, as if someone had flipped a switch.
Speaker 1: I could feel it rushed through my veins like liquid lightning,
Speaker 1: snapping me back into my body. It was wild, overwhelming
Speaker 1: and absolutely unforgettable. Later Mum confirmed everything I'd explained, the
Speaker 1: positioning upon my body.
Speaker 2: Everything, Oh my god, yes, sending that in Chloe, I know.
Speaker 1: It's amazing, isn't it beautifully written to like lightning going
Speaker 1: through my veins? But I like it when you hear
Speaker 1: actual people like this is Chloe a beautiful listener writing
Speaker 1: in saying this happened to me.
Speaker 2: I wonder if Chloe feels like people minimize that experience, like, oh,
Speaker 2: you must have just been out of it, or as
Speaker 2: in you must have just hallucinated in that state or whatever,
Speaker 2: like people trying to rationalize.
Speaker 1: Of course, it's the same with everything. It's like my
Speaker 1: friend the other day her grandma died, Yeah, and she
Speaker 1: was like, the weirdest thing happened, And I almost played
Speaker 1: it down, but I'm like, to her, it was something
Speaker 1: and it was a real sign from her grandma. But
Speaker 1: her grandma gave her her wedding rings. So Abby's wedding
Speaker 1: rings are her NaN's wedding rings. And the other day
Speaker 1: she passed and she they're very tight on Abby's fingers,
Speaker 1: they've never come off. And the other day Abby was
Speaker 1: getting ready for her funeral and she was in the
Speaker 1: bathroom brushed her hair once and the wedding ring flew off. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and she's like it was a sign. It was a
Speaker 1: sign from Emmy. And I was like, the fact that
Speaker 1: they'd never fallen off your fingers and then it did
Speaker 1: on the day of her funeral, Like, that's a sign. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's amazing.
Speaker 2: And also like, I think if you see it as
Speaker 2: a sign, that's enough.
Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing. That's what I was like. I
Speaker 1: was like, that's amazing. Because it didn't happen to me.
Speaker 1: I couldn't get the full sensation of that. But if
Speaker 1: it happened to me on the day of my NaN's funeral,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, of course, that was a sign from Nan.
Speaker 1: Oh that's nice. Yeah, it is nice.
Speaker 2: That's really nice.
Speaker 1: Anyway, guys, we're going to get out of here as usual.
