Speaker 1: We got get every morning, every day, every gentleman adelaides.
Speaker 2: Check checked that last message from your partner if you
Speaker 2: are indeed in a relationship, because at some point we
Speaker 2: switch from lovews to logistics, and he just becomes those
Speaker 2: mundane details that you have to discuss with your partner.
Speaker 2: It's unavoidable. And then sometimes like I do, I go,
Speaker 2: oh my god, who are we?
Speaker 3: Where's the passion?
Speaker 2: Where is the passion?
Speaker 3: Where that it drifts off to?
Speaker 2: May I give you an example. This was this morning.
Speaker 3: Because your husband, by the way, is a passionate man.
Speaker 3: He's just chock a block full of passion. It uses
Speaker 3: out of.
Speaker 2: His poor Oh my god. I couldn't get a word
Speaker 2: out of him on the weekend because the ice hockey
Speaker 2: season started again. The NHL and I have discuss I
Speaker 2: just sat in the couch with him. I was eating
Speaker 2: my breakfast. I'm just going to go and sit outside
Speaker 2: like absolute donuts from the man.
Speaker 3: I forgot to specify he's passionate about ice.
Speaker 2: Clam Yes, correct. So this was this morning. What are
Speaker 2: you doing? From him? I'm like, I'm working you and
Speaker 2: he says, babysitting. I go your own children, And he said, yes,
Speaker 2: that's correct.
Speaker 3: Ye's good now that that is a conversation of a
Speaker 3: couple who were very very well established.
Speaker 2: Man, it's not exactly I can't wait for you to
Speaker 2: come home.
Speaker 3: No, it's not, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Maybe we could have a bit of mummy daddy times
Speaker 2: nothing like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: See you say that like the passion leaves at a
Speaker 3: certain time the relationship. Do you want to hear mine?
Speaker 3: Please get the messages? All right, so just strap yourself
Speaker 3: in because this is just as passionate as it gets.
Speaker 1: It's just started.
Speaker 3: A car is sending me a message. Car won't start.
Speaker 3: I said, oh my god, it's the battery. I've cooked it.
Speaker 3: She said, I can't get until Monday. I can't even
Speaker 3: jump to start it from your car because you don't
Speaker 3: have one. And I said, that's correct. I know I
Speaker 3: don't have one. So what now? She said, f no's
Speaker 3: I need to get Lotti to ELC in the morning.
Speaker 3: Mum will hopefully.
Speaker 4: Help my goodness goodness me seconds later off, yes, wow,
Speaker 4: and if you want to kick us off, good.
Speaker 3: Morning to you.
Speaker 2: Good morning, how are we We're great? Thank you? What
Speaker 2: was the last exchange with your partner?
Speaker 5: So it started this morning? We both have shipwork for
Speaker 5: our ships are all over the place. I sent have
Speaker 5: a message saying wake up, I'm leading to work, and
Speaker 5: don't forget to send me a roster blushed out, staught
Speaker 5: of hair and sappy before you from off my Grandma's black. Yes,
Speaker 5: so I've got a screenshot of his roster bus and
Speaker 5: sums up amazing.
Speaker 3: Doesn't that just send these beautiful shivers through your body?
Speaker 2: Here? When that thumbs up is like, I just I
Speaker 2: can't even be bothered to put words into a text. Now,
Speaker 2: that's how bad things are going, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not adhd as well, like I pretty much
Speaker 5: discipline at summer, I just lift yeah, right for the day.
Speaker 2: I have to ask you this though, And but did
Speaker 2: the screenshot of his roster for the next couple of weeks?
Speaker 2: Did that make you really told?
Speaker 3: Yes? That is I'm not sure what I can talk
Speaker 3: about on radio because moments after that text exchange things
Speaker 3: went really really north and south of you know what
Speaker 3: I mean? Exactly your father he's on the money, nothing
Speaker 3: loose this time the morning we can get away with
Speaker 3: some stuff before we got to straighten up after.
Speaker 2: Seventhstra where we all pucker up and let's go.
Speaker 3: Let's talk underwear use or not use of? Do you
Speaker 3: know what I mean? Okay, this will make sense when
Speaker 3: I say. Delta Airlines recently released a two page memo
Speaker 3: detailing appearance requirements for future employees, which stipulates that flight
Speaker 3: attendants must wear underwear. Why are you boing? Why are
Speaker 3: you guys booing? Come on? Games?
Speaker 2: Is that like a no brainer?
Speaker 1: That probably is?
Speaker 2: Can I say those skirts are tight? Yeah?
Speaker 3: But that's the thing. The memos split into four sections,
Speaker 3: covering grooming, hair and what jewelry is acceptable, and clothing.
Speaker 3: More specifically, it states that proper undergarments must be worn
Speaker 3: by interviewees and current flight attendants must not be visible.
Speaker 3: So is it we're talking as it a Sharon Stone
Speaker 3: Sliver moment that they're trying to avoid or what's going on?
Speaker 6: Confused as to how they know that people aren't wearing.
Speaker 2: But can I go back to my original point? Please?
Speaker 2: Sure those skirts are so tight that you can see
Speaker 2: whether they are or if they're not. So, if you're
Speaker 2: wearing a G string, you'll see the outline. If you're
Speaker 2: wearing foot briefs, you'll see the outline. If you're not
Speaker 2: wearing any underwear, then you won't see anything at all.
Speaker 2: So either way those flight attends, it can't win because
Speaker 2: we will tell if if she's Nicholas or if she's
Speaker 2: not Nicholas.
Speaker 3: What she's wearing, like a pair of arm like old
Speaker 3: school red and stimpy satin boxer shorts. So true. That's
Speaker 3: also distracting because because you know, can I who wears them?
Speaker 2: They can I ask a question. You would have had
Speaker 2: a pair of them, you would have met. This is
Speaker 2: why you went home alone at three am every single time,
Speaker 2: because no one is having sex with you when you're
Speaker 2: wearing red and stiff.
Speaker 3: I didn't even know what was wearing. I know, but
Speaker 3: if I got someone home and then they still would
Speaker 3: have left.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you were enough of a douche for people
Speaker 2: to go. He'd be wearing ridden ste He's been in
Speaker 2: some of the biggest international TV shows like Game of.
Speaker 3: Thrones, is your sister and you left her to die,
Speaker 3: some of.
Speaker 2: The highest grossing films like the Avatar sequels.
Speaker 1: Was louder than Me and I'm the one with a
Speaker 1: half boom.
Speaker 2: But we know him more for being Tom in love
Speaker 2: my way.
Speaker 3: If you still feel like this on your birthday in
Speaker 3: three months. Then I'll help you to the end of his.
Speaker 2: New show Plum, premiering this Sunday at thirty on ABC.
Speaker 1: Please welcome Brendan.
Speaker 2: How basically, please say very good morning to our super
Speaker 2: special guest, Brendan cow Hey.
Speaker 3: Hey, guys, they're going Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you so much for coming on. Please tell
Speaker 2: us about Peter the plum Lum living the dream until
Speaker 2: he's not in this incredible new show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that pretty much sums it up.
Speaker 7: I wanted to explore post career for athletes, you know,
Speaker 7: what happens to them, and because I've read a lot
Speaker 7: about how they can become very depressed, their lack of identity,
Speaker 7: what happens with their body.
Speaker 3: And Peter the plum Lum works at the airport.
Speaker 7: He was a footy hero, kind of Paul Gallon, kind
Speaker 7: of greet bird kind of guy. And he's got a
Speaker 7: girlfriend and a son who loves his beers with the
Speaker 7: boys and training.
Speaker 3: And then one one day at work, he has an
Speaker 3: epileptic fit.
Speaker 7: He has a seizure on the on the tar as
Speaker 7: the result of the concussions he took on the field
Speaker 7: because he was one of the toughest to ever play,
Speaker 7: and suddenly he's faced with a bit of a situation,
Speaker 7: which is, you know, do something about it, very hard
Speaker 7: when you've never been scared of anything and your own
Speaker 7: the way you solve things is through running through a
Speaker 7: brick wall.
Speaker 3: So that's kind of where we lay our scene. It's
Speaker 3: an interesting situation made I like, I know, and even
Speaker 3: from an AFL perspective, it's the same thing. And I
Speaker 3: didn't play at the top level, but it used to
Speaker 3: be a badge of honor if you could get through
Speaker 3: a concussion test come out the other side. And still
Speaker 3: we did and not know where you were, but play
Speaker 3: you were a hero. And now and I've had to
Speaker 3: do it. I'm forty years old now and I've had
Speaker 3: to sit down and be like, this is man, how
Speaker 3: many concussions did I cop.
Speaker 2: But how many concussions do you think you had when you.
Speaker 3: Play three really bad ones?
Speaker 2: Ye?
Speaker 3: But I had I reckon maybe a dozen of the
Speaker 3: micro ones, which were where you'd get knocked and phazed,
Speaker 3: and you knew that by the time you got to
Speaker 3: the bench you'd be fine, so you push through it
Speaker 3: for a good thirty seconds. Who knows what's going to
Speaker 3: happen now, that's amazing.
Speaker 7: The thing that they're becoming more concerned with is those
Speaker 7: repeated cans. Isn't it when you have been concussed and
Speaker 7: you come back out leaving yourself vulnerable to be concussed twice,
Speaker 7: you know, a direct avenue to towards CTE. Of course,
Speaker 7: you can't diagnose CTE till posthumously because you can't go
Speaker 7: ferreting around in the brain. But there is TES which
Speaker 7: is traumatic and cephalopathy syndrome where ex players, even soldiers
Speaker 7: and sound people and boxes might show symptoms of you know,
Speaker 7: bouts of rage, forgetfulness, insomnia, mood swing. So it's a
Speaker 7: really really intrusive and bewildering disease. And what I'm more
Speaker 7: interested in as a dramatist is what happens to a
Speaker 7: male in that situation. How does he talk to his girlfriend?
Speaker 7: How does he talk to his son? And this is
Speaker 7: about communicating, and.
Speaker 3: That's that's another element and that's something that's sorry for
Speaker 3: taking over, but that's that's something I'm learning as well
Speaker 3: in that is communication. But how you feeling and not
Speaker 3: just emotional but now physical. It's a massive generational shift
Speaker 3: now yeah, well, let's hope.
Speaker 7: So, I mean, you get the feeling that you know,
Speaker 7: with the millennial, your dad's being more present and guys
Speaker 7: go and you know, there's a lot of podcasts and
Speaker 7: people out there going no, no, let's wrap this up.
Speaker 3: Let's not just drink it down, push it down.
Speaker 7: But where behavior becomes toxic is when you deny how
Speaker 7: you're really feeling and it inevitably spurts out. And he's
Speaker 7: not only doesn't have the skills to communicate, so he's
Speaker 7: been told.
Speaker 3: That it's wrong.
Speaker 7: Yeah, because he thinks, I don't want to impose myself.
Speaker 3: I don't want to have to bloody be a burden.
Speaker 7: And the new idea of bravery that I'm trying to
Speaker 7: present in the male world is maybe putting your hand
Speaker 7: up and saying I'm stressed, confused, and afraid is bravery
Speaker 7: more so than going back and out back out on
Speaker 7: the field with a broken jaw and putting it back
Speaker 7: in your mouth.
Speaker 3: Jup.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that mouth up absolutely incredible. And I can see
Speaker 2: what's happening here. There's a there's a budding bromance between
Speaker 2: the two of you, because you're bonding already and now
Speaker 2: it's going to get even firm up because I'm going
Speaker 2: to tell you, Brennan that he loves NRL as much
Speaker 2: as you do. And I think you're a big Cronulla
Speaker 2: Sharks fan, aren't you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well that I mean that was kind of also.
Speaker 7: Probably the secret I'm trying to keep is that I
Speaker 7: made this show so I could finally live my fantasy
Speaker 7: of being Sharks Champion.
Speaker 3: The only way it was ever going to happen was
Speaker 3: through fiction.
Speaker 2: Just before I let you go, I have to ask
Speaker 2: you about Love My Way, which is one of the
Speaker 2: best series that has ever been made in this country.
Speaker 2: There's no question about that. And you know when you
Speaker 2: have a scene from a show that sticks with you
Speaker 2: forever that creates trauma, when the little girl dies in
Speaker 2: the park when she's running through the park in the
Speaker 2: Love Sorry it's about twenty years you just said it's
Speaker 2: twenty years old, but.
Speaker 7: That has you just had half after the town about
Speaker 7: to go, I might watch that tonight. Well, everyone was
Speaker 7: just about to buy the DVD box set.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I've just cost you some royalties now, but
Speaker 2: that that is just the most powerful television I've ever watched.
Speaker 2: And if anyone hasn't watched this series you need to
Speaker 2: and you were great in it.
Speaker 3: It was it was until Sunday night I think.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, yes, yes, now your new show has come
Speaker 2: along and usurped Love my Way.
Speaker 7: Well, you know the smart that I did. I got
Speaker 7: the producer from Love My Way, the writer from Love
Speaker 7: My Way, a couple of the actors from Love My Way,
Speaker 7: and I thought, not, unlike a footy team, if you
Speaker 7: put a couple of those champions around you who can
Speaker 7: deliver that stuff, then we might be all right.
Speaker 2: We could absolutely talk to you all day. But now
Speaker 2: I'm going to sit back and watch Hazey go no
Speaker 2: you hang up, and then Brendon go no, no, you
Speaker 2: hang up first.
Speaker 3: Finally, it's good to talk some sort of NRL with
Speaker 3: someone who appreciates it. We're in South Australia. We don't
Speaker 3: get much NRL.
Speaker 7: I've done here, Brendan, that's all right, mate, Well jump
Speaker 7: in on Sunday night it's Love my Way meets the
Speaker 7: Kronella Shark.
Speaker 2: There you go, Brendan Caw, what a pleasure to talk
Speaker 2: to you. Thank you so much for your generosity with
Speaker 2: your time, and it's so lovely to chat with you.
Speaker 2: You're welcome on our show any single time.
Speaker 3: Thank you, mate, We appreciate you. Thanks very much. No
Speaker 3: good on you, mate. Leaving a company or a job
Speaker 3: or anything in particular, it can be awkward, you.
Speaker 2: Can, and it can be awkward when it's someone that
Speaker 2: you think in your head, Jesus Christ, how did you
Speaker 2: even survive this long? Because you're really about it, job.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see the back of you.
Speaker 2: And also you're a bit of a d head.
Speaker 1: Yeah head. I don't even know what that means, but
Speaker 1: I assume it's not good.
Speaker 3: A UK woman who sued her former employer over not
Speaker 3: receiving a leaving card has lost her employment claim after
Speaker 3: it was revealed the card was hidden from her when
Speaker 3: only three people had signed it.
Speaker 2: Really then and then she suited them, and that, my
Speaker 2: darling girl, is the reason why everyone's pleased to see
Speaker 2: the back of it. Yes.
Speaker 3: Coincidentally, her name is karen Na Conner. She brought forty
Speaker 3: complaints to a tribunal and claimed that the lack of
Speaker 3: leaving card was a failure to acknowledge that her existence,
Speaker 3: and then their response basically was, well, we hid it
Speaker 3: from her because we thought that would be even more derogatory.
Speaker 1: That's such little people interacted with the card.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's sad, isn't it. How does it say how
Speaker 2: many people in the whole entire company?
Speaker 1: Is it like a car ten? She works at Google.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, that is pretty brutal. You know.
Speaker 3: The other thing as well is when you leave some
Speaker 3: of those big, stupid farewell cards.
Speaker 1: Yeah, produce a flak. You've got some thoughts on this.
Speaker 8: I've had seven over my whole career.
Speaker 3: Mate.
Speaker 8: It's kind of hard, and I've burned every one of
Speaker 8: them really, just said they're a waste of money. I
Speaker 8: don't like them. And also you have a look through
Speaker 8: them and it's like, oh, Bob in Finance signed it.
Speaker 8: Oh great to work with you, Bob. I spoke to
Speaker 8: you once in three years. Why did you sign my card?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's the worst because then and when the
Speaker 3: card's going around and everyone's sort of there and they go, hey,
Speaker 3: blah bars leaving here, you go, do you want to
Speaker 3: write a message? I'm like, no, I'm stuck writing hey,
Speaker 3: good luck from Andrew.
Speaker 2: Well. Also, if it's a really good friend that you
Speaker 2: really like and you value them, I'm sending a text message.
Speaker 2: I'm saying, hey, you know, I'm so sad to see
Speaker 2: you go blah blah blah blah blah. I'm not writing
Speaker 2: it in a public forum in front of everybody. That's weird.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and do the right thing when I leave places,
Speaker 3: give you yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you know what?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 1: You cloice a beer I've got.
Speaker 2: I've got some real thoughts on what I'll write in
Speaker 2: your card when you go ready. Do you want to
Speaker 2: relay them to you?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Or do you want to read it?
Speaker 3: You write it down, I'll read it all right. What
Speaker 3: is my message to Hazy? I'll miss your the presence
Speaker 3: of your calves.
Speaker 1: All the best, go yourself.
Speaker 2: It was so close. It was just dear Andrew, your father.
Speaker 3: He's on the money. Listen six not. Sometimes you just go,
Speaker 3: do you know what? To hell with it? I'm going
Speaker 3: to be just a little bit of extra blues, yes,
Speaker 3: because I can't do it after seven o'clock. So this
Speaker 3: is the space to do it. Get it out of your.
Speaker 1: System, Joe.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to argue with you me what you got.
Speaker 3: Sometimes these stories just float across my desk, or do
Speaker 3: I find them. Sometimes we meet in the middle. Here's
Speaker 3: one for you. A dutch Man was hospitalized after inserting
Speaker 3: fifteen I said, fifteen hard boiled eggs into his erectum
Speaker 3: while under the influence of drugs. I'd see, what what
Speaker 3: have I always said about the Dutch?
Speaker 2: I don't know if the gosh.
Speaker 3: To all the Dutch people out there, stop using your
Speaker 3: rectum as a storage facility. It's not supposed to be
Speaker 3: used for that. The main experienced of the abdominal pain,
Speaker 3: leading to emergency surgery to remove the eggs, which had
Speaker 3: caused intestinal tears. Oh sure, doctors successfully treated him and
Speaker 3: despite the very unusual situation, the patient recovered without further complications.
Speaker 3: A bit of an extreme activity, if you know what
Speaker 3: I mean extreme.
Speaker 2: I know, I got it. I thought, Oh, I mean,
Speaker 2: if you could, to be fair, I'm just trying to
Speaker 2: think this about this in a tu sense, because I've
Speaker 2: brought an egg dispenser from there. Once it sort of
Speaker 2: shoots it out at the bottom of so I mean,
Speaker 2: the concept itself isn't bad. It could be fairly decent
Speaker 2: egg dispenser if you can keep the egg intact.
Speaker 3: Don't you think that's the big issue?
Speaker 2: Though?
Speaker 3: Hard boiled eggs probably is as a normal eggs to
Speaker 3: keep intact. But when you've got fifteen there as well,
Speaker 3: that's more than a dozen. Yeah, great effort. I'm not
Speaker 3: sure what maximum capacity is up there. I would have
Speaker 3: thought for me personally, i'd be sort of pushing six.
Speaker 3: I reckon, let alone a full dozen. But once again,
Speaker 3: we've always said that about the Dutch, very good at
Speaker 3: storing multiple eggs in their rectum.
Speaker 2: I never thought i'd see the day when I'd come
Speaker 2: into work and have a discussion about how many hard boiled.
Speaker 3: The broader question as well, Jades is third and twenty
Speaker 3: four ten. What have you? What have you accidentally stored
Speaker 3: in your recud? It happens all the time, whether it's
Speaker 3: a passion piece or you've just got no storage space
Speaker 3: at home. These days, space can be very very scarce.
Speaker 3: If you've got any ideas third angelent fourteen what you've
Speaker 3: stored up there, or send us a text to four
Speaker 3: double O nine nine. No, I'll go first an acra.
Speaker 2: For the uninitiated. That's the award Hazy Well last week
Speaker 2: for being the best newcomer. It's up.
Speaker 3: There's not much There's not much other space in there
Speaker 3: because that's a passion face by the way you put
Speaker 3: it there.
Speaker 2: My really, let's it is, so time for it.
Speaker 3: Let's go, girl, Yeah, let's go girls.
Speaker 2: You just sit in the corner and shut your face. Producers.
Speaker 2: So we were talking the other day about breakups can
Speaker 2: be good, can be bad. You can gain things or
Speaker 2: you can lose things. I want to know what you've lost.
Speaker 6: I think when we started this conversation, hazy piping.
Speaker 3: With dignity, I don't think. I don't think I said that.
Speaker 3: Maybe I said about myself. You said that. I think
Speaker 3: I said, don't say dignity, and.
Speaker 6: Then this morning you followed it up with confidence.
Speaker 3: Was looking at you?
Speaker 2: When was the last breakup I went through to produce
Speaker 2: a flat?
Speaker 1: I didn't know.
Speaker 3: I just looked down.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, it was awkward for flat.
Speaker 2: I've been in a relationship for like fifteen years, so
Speaker 2: you weren't talking about me.
Speaker 3: So true.
Speaker 6: Well, actually, on the contrary, I've gained something from my
Speaker 6: latest breakup. Go on a house plant, a really good one,
Speaker 6: fiddle leaf on.
Speaker 2: It's the small victories. I'll take it.
Speaker 6: Yes, the fellows to yes, but mine's like one of
Speaker 6: the sort of mini versions. So it sits nicely in
Speaker 6: my room. I definitely abandoned it for like a month
Speaker 6: after the breaking it on the.
Speaker 2: Plant, you would have really liked it. I had some
Speaker 2: vindictive feelings towards that plant.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the plant services department almost turned up at your door.
Speaker 2: Yeah, big time.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: And funnily enough, when we were talking about this, I
Speaker 6: realized every plant I have in my rooms from an.
Speaker 2: Act and ex partner, Oh my god, you live in
Speaker 2: a corn.
Speaker 6: I've got.
Speaker 3: That's so anywhere who goes to producers are his house.
Speaker 3: Particularly if you're a new mate, You're like, what's going
Speaker 3: on with this forest here? What are we doing here?
Speaker 3: I was just trophies for You've got a spot over there.
Speaker 2: I want to ask you. You got quite teary when
Speaker 2: you spoke about something that you lost in a relationship.
Speaker 3: Tell everyone, yeah, a couple of xs ago. Look, I
Speaker 3: think it was pretty amicable the way that we went
Speaker 3: our separate ways. But what I lost in the relationship
Speaker 3: was and I still haven't seen to this day, nor
Speaker 3: do I think I'll ever get it back. It was
Speaker 3: a copy of Anthony Keatis's autobiography Scar Tissue, Yes, which
Speaker 3: I lent to my ex girlfriend's father, and we never
Speaker 3: never came back into my hands. That's something I think
Speaker 3: about most days, most hours, most minutes as well. Thanks
Speaker 3: for reopening that.
Speaker 2: That's okay. I'm just going to assume his name is
Speaker 2: David Dave thirteen. Have you still still?

Speaker 2: just go on grab a coffee.
