Speaker 1: If you hear a little taps behind me, it's just
Speaker 1: it's just it's just an antler on wooden floorboards. It's
Speaker 1: just a dog and his antler. No putting it up. Okay,
Speaker 1: here we go. I know I'm sorry about it. Go
Speaker 1: and have a sleep instead. Well you've just been out.
Speaker 1: I've taken you out. You've played with a massive poodle.
Speaker 1: Try to hump you all morning. Aren't you exhausted? Might
Speaker 1: exhausted from the humps. Nope, take some more. Anyway, Let's
Speaker 1: talk about women. How good are women? I'm a woman,
Speaker 1: you're a woman. Rachel's a woman. There's plenty of women,
Speaker 1: trans women, men coming over. Thank you? Who wouldn't want
Speaker 1: to be one? If you aren't a woman, you may
Speaker 1: know a woman. Your grandmother was a woman, is a woman.
Speaker 1: Your great grandmother was a woman. You carry for the
Speaker 1: gene making women. You my love a woman who doesn't
Speaker 1: love a woman? Do you know Mexico's just elected its
Speaker 1: first female presidante. Yeah, that's Spanish for president. Just fyi.
Speaker 1: Her name's Claudia Shinebaum. So I'm assuming she's Jewish because
Speaker 1: that's a very josh last name, Claudia shine Baum. Oh
Speaker 1: that's my Jewish New Yorker. It's my favorite type of accent.
Speaker 1: She's the former mayor of Mexico City and she's become
Speaker 1: Mexico's first female president. She actually won in a landslide
Speaker 1: victory and it was the first that two women have
Speaker 1: led the polls in Mexico. Look, I don't know much
Speaker 1: about her. Is she right wing? She might be, she
Speaker 1: might be Margaret Thatcher. I could look more into it,
Speaker 1: but I don't think so. Because she began her career
Speaker 1: as an environmental engineer and climate scientist. I don't think
Speaker 1: Thatcher was into that. She was into really really telling
Speaker 1: off miners and people who striked In two thousand and seven,
Speaker 1: Claudia not Thatcher was part of a UN climate change
Speaker 1: research team that won a Nobel Prize. Well, she sounds great,
Speaker 1: and you know we love the UN. Also another woman
Speaker 1: this week, Lydia Williams. Do you know Lydia? She plays
Speaker 1: for the Matildas. Everyone knows the Tillies highest watched game
Speaker 1: in the country ever, eleven point five million people watched.
Speaker 1: Like it still just gives me chills. But no one
Speaker 1: watches female sport. No one watches women's sports. Just a
Speaker 1: boring you can't get your tea counsel. The tickets. Oh
Speaker 1: did you see the State of Origin? The women's State
Speaker 1: of Origin Game two? Completely sold out, completely sold out.
Speaker 1: Oh but no one goes to women's sport. Oh don't they?
Speaker 1: They do play it, show it, We'll watch it. I won't.
Speaker 1: I don't. Well I did.
Speaker 2: I watched the Matildas and I cried. Maybe that's all
Speaker 2: I've ever needed was bloody women playing sport. I have
Speaker 2: to say I watched a bit of the State of Origin,
Speaker 2: you know, like the last game highlights, and I just
Speaker 2: love watching women play this brutal sport with ponytails.
Speaker 1: Some of them had ribbons in there.
Speaker 2: How good's that?
Speaker 1: Lydia Lydia Williams, she played her final professional match on
Speaker 1: Australian soil after earlier this year announcing her retirement. Oh
Speaker 1: that's rit sad for those who love Lydia Williams and
Speaker 1: the Matildas. Before Australia's friendly match with China, pr Lydia
Speaker 1: was presented with a booker, a cloak traditionally worn by
Speaker 1: Noonga people's She represented it by tennis great and Wiradgery
Speaker 1: woman Evon Gulagong. Oh what a legend. Williams is the
Speaker 1: longest serving Matilda, having represented Australia in five World Cups,
Speaker 1: six Asian Cups and two Olympic Games over nineteen years. Damn,
Speaker 1: I re can start making statues of these people. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about another woman. Do you remember in early two thousands?
Speaker 1: Go back to two thousand and three, so this is
Speaker 1: twenty one years ago. I remember it clear as day,
Speaker 1: Sophie de Lezzio. She was at the daycare that I
Speaker 1: used to at. I used to work at that daycare.
Speaker 1: I was the casual there and I wasn't there that day,
Speaker 1: but that's what I was doing for a job at
Speaker 1: the time, working in daycares on the Northern Beaches, and
Speaker 1: this one was at Manly Well fair Light and oh gosh,
Speaker 1: so I would have met her as a child anyway.
Speaker 1: It was just it was such a story that rocked everyone.
Speaker 1: A car went through the front fence of the daycare
Speaker 1: into the daycare and over the children sleeping, and she
Speaker 1: was burnt pretty badly. I remember it obviously because I
Speaker 1: used to work there that particular daycare, but we as
Speaker 1: a community remembered it. But the country and then you know,
Speaker 1: she defied odds to survive, like she was just so
Speaker 1: incredibly badly burnt, and she went through so many surgeries
Speaker 1: and everyone rallied for this child is baby, and two
Speaker 1: thousand and six, three years later, she was hit by
Speaker 1: a car crossing the road. I mean, who has that
Speaker 1: kind of luck? Apparently someone with a load of strength,
Speaker 1: because this woman who has been through so much and
Speaker 1: overcome so much adversity. You know, they say, and if
Speaker 1: you believe in God, you would believe this, that that
Speaker 1: God only gives these kind of challenges to the strong,
Speaker 1: Like He's really chosen a good one. An angel a
Speaker 1: saint and canonized her. She's a miracle. She's twenty two
Speaker 1: now and she's just announced that she's having a baby.
Speaker 1: She's the most beautiful partner and child, best friend Joseph,
Speaker 1: and you have to go and look on her socials
Speaker 1: and see the announcement video of her announcing it to
Speaker 1: her family and friends, like it just will make you
Speaker 1: weep with joy. And she's on TikTok and I love
Speaker 1: following her on TikTok because she's just so open and
Speaker 1: honest and vulnerable and she just talks to people. She
Speaker 1: talks about getting her extensions redone her extension day, and
Speaker 1: she hardly has any hair, but she absolutely loves her
Speaker 1: little wafts of hair and she gets little extensions put
Speaker 1: on them, and know all these and I've got to say, they're,
Speaker 1: you know, do gooding, like they're trying to help a
Speaker 1: lot of people give her advice of WEFs and you know,
Speaker 1: all of this new kind of hair that we have
Speaker 1: now you know that you can wear on your head,
Speaker 1: and she's so sweet and patient, and she replies in
Speaker 1: her own way in her videos to them in such
Speaker 1: a kind way to say thank you. You know, but
Speaker 1: I don't want to put anything on my head. I
Speaker 1: for years was covered head to toe with really you know,
Speaker 1: thick bandages and you know whatever they call that the
Speaker 1: stretchy stuff, and you know, all of the things to
Speaker 1: keep her skin in place. And the last thing she
Speaker 1: wants is to put anything more on her head that
Speaker 1: she doesn't. She's so happy to have these extensions, and
Speaker 1: it just feels my heart that she's so incredibly proud
Speaker 1: of how she looks, because she's stunningly beautiful and her
Speaker 1: hair is perfect and her head is perfect. She talks
Speaker 1: about her prosthetics and she's getting new prosthetics, and she's
Speaker 1: just she's perfect. So let her be your inspiration for
Speaker 1: accepting yourself, because she certainly makes me feel better about myself.
Speaker 1: And you know, there's certainly nothing wrong with that when
Speaker 1: someone like her, who has been through what she's been through,
Speaker 1: should and could be the biggest winger in the world
Speaker 1: and have every right to say life hasn't been great
Speaker 1: for me. She doesn't go there. She reminds me of
Speaker 1: Terrea Pitt. So Terrea is the same. Just refuses to
Speaker 1: let it get them down. I mean, I'm sure it
Speaker 1: gets them down, refuses to let it define them in
Speaker 1: a negative way. How God, the privilege we have not
Speaker 1: being that person to say, I'll go and take a
Speaker 1: walk through that, you know, the burn's victim, the unit. No,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that. I'm saying there's there's choices, we
Speaker 1: still we still can complain, We can still complain, But
Speaker 1: let them be that beautiful shining light that there's positive
Speaker 1: in it too. Follower, do you want a useful fact?
Speaker 1: Why not? Do you know? My name's Evie? Do you
Speaker 1: know what song gets sung to me? A lot? Not
Speaker 1: so much anymore because a lot of kids don't know
Speaker 1: it anymore. But a song from the seventies called Evie
Speaker 1: there's parts one, two and three. Jesus so I get
Speaker 1: a lot of men, a lot of men singing that
Speaker 1: to me. Eh, even hang dude, Stevie Wright saying that
Speaker 1: about ourn ex girlfriend called Edi who it was? Ah,
Speaker 1: it was a very sad song if you actually read
Speaker 1: the lyrics, it's a very sad song anyway, to let
Speaker 1: your hair down. I don't know if Stevie ever knew this,
Speaker 1: but the origin in Tudor, England. You know, Tudor England
Speaker 1: is and boiling all of that kind of stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: the do that cut everyone's heads off. The ladies were
Speaker 1: war pointed bonnets called wimples underneath their hats. Their hair
Speaker 1: was piled high and pinned up naturally. In the bedchamber,
Speaker 1: caps and hats were removed. It was a time for
Speaker 1: wanton behavior and abandonment, but only in the bedroom and
Speaker 1: in private. Hence, letting one's hair down was a practical
Speaker 1: as well as a symbolic thing. So and and and
Speaker 1: let your hair hang down. Oh wait, oh no, that's
Speaker 1: your head rolling down the Tudor path. Bloody William who
Speaker 1: was the guy that cut King, King, King chop a lot.
Speaker 1: I'll call him Henry, Henry the Eighth. I am, I Am,
Speaker 1: I'm Henry the Eighth. I am. Everyone's heads off because
Speaker 1: I'm an ass hole. That's what I do. So let
Speaker 1: your hair hang down, but not your head. Okay, I
Speaker 1: think that's the moral of that story. Anyway, here's wonderful
Speaker 1: the word on the stream, but the fire in your
Speaker 1: heart is I'm sure you've heard it before, but you've
Speaker 1: never really had down. You forgot that last week. By
Speaker 1: the way, don't think I didn't know it. Yes,
