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? Exhausted
Speaker 1: from the humps. Nope, take some more. Anyway, Let's talk
Speaker 1: about women. How good are women? I'm a woman, you're
Speaker 1: a woman. Rachel's a woman. There's plenty of women, trans women,
Speaker 1: men coming over? Thank you? Who wouldn't want to be one?
Speaker 1: If you aren't a woman, you may know a woman.
Speaker 1: Your grandmother was a woman, is a woman. Your great
Speaker 1: grandmother was a woman. You carry for the gene making women.
Speaker 1: You might love a woman who doesn't love a woman.
Speaker 1: Do you know Mexico's just elected its first female presidante. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's Spanish for president. Just fyi. Her name's Claudia Shinebaum.
Speaker 1: So I'm assuming she's Jewish because that's a very josh
Speaker 1: last name. Claudia shine Baum. Oh that's my Jewish New Yorker.
Speaker 1: It's my favorite type of accent. She's the former mayor
Speaker 1: of Mexico City and she's become Mexico's first female president.
Speaker 1: She actually won in a landslide victory and it was
Speaker 1: the first that two women have led the polls in Mexico. Look,
Speaker 1: I don't know much about her. Is she right wing?
Speaker 1: She might be, she might be Margaret Thatcher. I could
Speaker 1: look more into it, but I don't think so. Because
Speaker 1: she began her career as an environmental engineer and climate scientist.
Speaker 1: I don't think Thatcher was into that. She was into
Speaker 1: really really telling off miners and people who striked. In
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, Claudia not Thatcher was part of
Speaker 1: a UN climate change research team that won a Nobel Prize. Well,
Speaker 1: she sounds great, and you know we love the UN.
Speaker 1: Also another woman this week, Lydia Williams. Do you know Lydia?
Speaker 1: She plays for the Matildas. Everyone knows the Tillies highest
Speaker 1: watched game in the country ever, eleven point five million
Speaker 1: people watched. Like it still just gives me chills. But
Speaker 1: no one watches female sport. No one watches women's sports.
Speaker 1: Just a boring you can't get your tea counsel. The tickets.
Speaker 1: Oh did you see the State of Origin? The women's
Speaker 1: State 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. I watched the Matildas and
Speaker 1: I cried. Maybe that's all I've ever needed was bloody
Speaker 1: women playing sport. I have to say I watched a
Speaker 1: bit of the State of Origin, you know, like the
Speaker 1: last game highlights, and I just love watching women play
Speaker 1: this brutal sport with ponytails. Some of them had ribbons
Speaker 1: in there. How good's that? Lydia Lydia Williams, she played
Speaker 1: her final professional match on Australian soil after earlier this
Speaker 1: year announcing her retirement. Oh that's rit sad for those
Speaker 1: who love Lydia Williams and the Matildas. Before Australia's friendly
Speaker 1: match with China, pr Lydia was presented with a booker,
Speaker 1: a cloak traditionally worn by Noonga people's She represented it
Speaker 1: by tennis great and Wiradgery woman Evon Gulagong. Oh what
Speaker 1: a legend. Williams is the longest serving Matilda, having represented
Speaker 1: Australia in five World Cups, six Asian Cups and two
Speaker 1: Olympic Games over nineteen years. Damn, I can start making
Speaker 1: statues of these people. Let's talk about another woman. Do
Speaker 1: you remember in early two thousands, go back to two
Speaker 1: thousand and three, so this is twenty one years ago.
Speaker 1: I remember it clear as day, Sophie de Lezzio. She
Speaker 1: was at the daycare that I used to I used
Speaker 1: to work at that daycare. I was the casual there
Speaker 1: and I wasn't there that day, but that's what I
Speaker 1: was doing for a job at the time, working in
Speaker 1: daycares on the Northern Beaches, and this one was at
Speaker 1: manly Well fair Light and oh gosh, so I would
Speaker 1: have met her as a child anyway. It was just
Speaker 1: it was such a story that rocked everyone. A car
Speaker 1: went through the front fence of the daycare into the
Speaker 1: daycare and over the children sleeping, and she was burnt
Speaker 1: pretty badly. I remember it obviously because I used to
Speaker 1: work there that particular daycare, but we as a community
Speaker 1: remembered it. But the country and then you know, she
Speaker 1: defied odds to survive, like she was just so incredibly
Speaker 1: badly burnt, and she went through so many surgeries and
Speaker 1: everyone rallied for this child is baby, and two thousand
Speaker 1: and six, three years later, she was hit by a
Speaker 1: car crossing the road. I mean, who has that kind
Speaker 1: of luck? Apparently someone with a load of strength, because
Speaker 1: this woman who has been through so much and overcome
Speaker 1: so much adversity. You know, they say, and if you
Speaker 1: believe in God, you would believe this, that that God
Speaker 1: only gives these kind of challenges to the strong, Like
Speaker 1: He's really chosen a good one. An angel a saint
Speaker 1: and canonized her. She's a miracle. She's twenty two now
Speaker 1: and she's just announced that she's having a baby. She's
Speaker 1: the most beautiful partner and child, best friend Joseph, and
Speaker 1: you have to go and look on her socials and
Speaker 1: see the announcement video of her announcing it to her
Speaker 1: family and friends, like it just will make you weep
Speaker 1: with joy. And she's on TikTok and I love following
Speaker 1: her on TikTok because she's just so open and honest
Speaker 1: and vulnerable and she just talks to people. She talks
Speaker 1: about getting her extensions redone her extension day and she
Speaker 1: hardly has any hair, but she absolutely loves her little
Speaker 1: wafts of hair and she gets little extensions put on them,
Speaker 1: 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, and there's certainly nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 1: When someone like her, who has been through what she's
Speaker 1: been through, should and could be the biggest winger in
Speaker 1: the world and have every right to say life hasn't
Speaker 1: been great for me. She doesn't go there. She reminds
Speaker 1: me of Terrea Pitt. So Terrea is the same. Just
Speaker 1: refuses to let it get them down. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: sure it gets them down, refuses to let it define
Speaker 1: them in a negative way. How God, the privilege we
Speaker 1: have not being that person to say, I'll go and
Speaker 1: take a walk through that, you know, the burn's victim,
Speaker 1: the unit. No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying there's
Speaker 1: there's choices, we still we still can complain, We can
Speaker 1: still complain, But let them be that beautiful shining light
Speaker 1: that there's positive in it too. Follower, do you want
Speaker 1: a useful fact? Why not? Do you know? My name's Evie?
Speaker 1: Do you know what song gets sung to me? A lot?
Speaker 1: Not so much anymore because a lot of kids don't
Speaker 1: know it anymore. But a song from the seventies called
Speaker 1: Evie there's parts one, two and three. Jesus So I
Speaker 1: get a lot of men, a lot of men singing
Speaker 1: that to me. Eh, even hang dud it Stevie Wright
Speaker 1: saying that 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,
