1
00:00:10,614 --> 00:00:13,254
Speaker 1: You're listening to a Muma Mea podcast.

2
00:00:14,134 --> 00:00:17,214
Speaker 2: Mumma Mea acknowledges the traditional owners of land and waters

3
00:00:17,254 --> 00:00:18,734
Speaker 2: that this podcast.

4
00:00:18,214 --> 00:00:18,974
Speaker 1: Is recorded on.

5
00:00:22,934 --> 00:00:25,774
Speaker 2: Hi there, I'm Claire Murphy. This is Mumma Me's twice

6
00:00:25,854 --> 00:00:29,054
Speaker 2: daily news podcast, The Quikie. So The Quikie has been

7
00:00:29,054 --> 00:00:31,774
Speaker 2: popping up in your podcast feed at six am pretty

8
00:00:31,854 --> 00:00:36,054
Speaker 2: much every single weekday for the past five years. But

9
00:00:36,174 --> 00:00:40,014
Speaker 2: here's the thing. It doesn't just magically appear. I mean, yes,

10
00:00:40,614 --> 00:00:42,774
Speaker 2: I do very often just roll out of bed near

11
00:00:42,774 --> 00:00:46,614
Speaker 2: my pajamas record the news headlines at a very ungodly

12
00:00:46,654 --> 00:00:48,054
Speaker 2: hour to many of you, but to me is now

13
00:00:48,094 --> 00:00:51,374
Speaker 2: normal to make the morning news happen. But it is

14
00:00:51,414 --> 00:00:54,014
Speaker 2: a full on operation behind the scenes with quite a

15
00:00:54,054 --> 00:00:56,974
Speaker 2: few people involved. And one of those people is executive

16
00:00:57,014 --> 00:00:59,654
Speaker 2: producer Taylor Strano, who joins me now and we're going

17
00:00:59,694 --> 00:01:02,294
Speaker 2: to do a little sneaky peek behind the scenes to

18
00:01:02,334 --> 00:01:05,374
Speaker 2: see what it takes to make the Quikie come together.

19
00:01:05,694 --> 00:01:07,814
Speaker 1: Taylor Strano, Hello, Hi.

20
00:01:07,894 --> 00:01:11,174
Speaker 3: I can confirm Clay is not just wearing pajamas right now.

21
00:01:11,654 --> 00:01:12,694
Speaker 1: I haven't done that all week.

22
00:01:12,734 --> 00:01:15,334
Speaker 2: Actually I normally do that, and people have been coming

23
00:01:15,374 --> 00:01:18,694
Speaker 2: into early so I'm like, I'm gonna get busted.

24
00:01:18,734 --> 00:01:19,854
Speaker 1: I need to dress up.

25
00:01:19,934 --> 00:01:22,534
Speaker 3: So just to fully pull the curtain back quickly, Claire,

26
00:01:22,694 --> 00:01:25,414
Speaker 3: usually you're at your house, you have a home studio

27
00:01:25,454 --> 00:01:28,134
Speaker 3: where you make the quickie happens. This week you're down

28
00:01:28,174 --> 00:01:31,254
Speaker 3: in our Sydney Mamma Mere office and you've worked out

29
00:01:31,294 --> 00:01:33,774
Speaker 3: this perfect system of how to still get up early,

30
00:01:34,134 --> 00:01:38,094
Speaker 3: come into the office, record your headlines incognito in pajamas,

31
00:01:38,374 --> 00:01:40,454
Speaker 3: and then sort of trapes back. What is it that

32
00:01:40,814 --> 00:01:41,294
Speaker 3: goes on?

33
00:01:41,494 --> 00:01:41,814
Speaker 1: Looks?

34
00:01:41,814 --> 00:01:44,254
Speaker 2: So the beauty of the situation we have here at

35
00:01:44,254 --> 00:01:46,574
Speaker 2: the Mamma Mere office is that I stay in the

36
00:01:46,614 --> 00:01:49,854
Speaker 2: hotel next door to the building, and they share an

37
00:01:49,934 --> 00:01:54,614
Speaker 2: underground car park. So I can leave my hotel room,

38
00:01:55,054 --> 00:01:58,014
Speaker 2: take the lift directly down to the car park, walk

39
00:01:58,054 --> 00:01:59,774
Speaker 2: across the car park, take.

40
00:01:59,614 --> 00:02:00,414
Speaker 1: The lifts up.

41
00:02:00,534 --> 00:02:03,734
Speaker 2: The only person I may run into, possibly potentially is

42
00:02:03,774 --> 00:02:06,614
Speaker 2: the overnight security guard. Oh he's fine, and sometimes I

43
00:02:06,614 --> 00:02:09,254
Speaker 2: see him and sometimes I don't. And so I can

44
00:02:09,294 --> 00:02:12,094
Speaker 2: make it completely incognito back up to the Muma mea

45
00:02:12,094 --> 00:02:14,974
Speaker 2: floor of this building and record my news headlines and

46
00:02:15,014 --> 00:02:17,454
Speaker 2: then just like slip on out before everyone.

47
00:02:17,254 --> 00:02:19,814
Speaker 1: Else comes back into the office. So that I can

48
00:02:19,814 --> 00:02:21,014
Speaker 1: never shower get dressed.

49
00:02:21,254 --> 00:02:24,374
Speaker 2: But like I said, people have been coming in ridiculously early,

50
00:02:24,774 --> 00:02:26,334
Speaker 2: and in fact, the other day one of our colleagues

51
00:02:26,374 --> 00:02:27,654
Speaker 2: was like, oh damn it, I thought I was gonna

52
00:02:27,654 --> 00:02:29,254
Speaker 2: bust you on your pj's and I'm like, no, I

53
00:02:29,294 --> 00:02:31,854
Speaker 2: knew this was happening, So I had to prepare myself.

54
00:02:32,254 --> 00:02:34,094
Speaker 1: So now that my colleagues are getting up.

55
00:02:34,054 --> 00:02:37,854
Speaker 2: At the sparrows, I have to get your foot pants on,

56
00:02:38,614 --> 00:02:39,774
Speaker 2: a showered to my hair.

57
00:02:40,734 --> 00:02:43,974
Speaker 3: Sorry to make you conform the rest of us now, Claire,

58
00:02:43,974 --> 00:02:46,174
Speaker 3: I think we need to break down this episode of

59
00:02:46,174 --> 00:02:47,934
Speaker 3: the Quickie where we talk a little bit about what

60
00:02:47,974 --> 00:02:50,014
Speaker 3: happened behind the scenes, but also some of the biggest

61
00:02:50,054 --> 00:02:51,614
Speaker 3: highlights of the year. I think we need to break

62
00:02:51,654 --> 00:02:54,574
Speaker 3: it down into a few different categories, starting, of course,

63
00:02:54,614 --> 00:02:57,494
Speaker 3: with the biggest stories of the year. Do you want

64
00:02:57,534 --> 00:02:58,174
Speaker 3: to kick us off?

65
00:02:58,414 --> 00:03:01,214
Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, obviously, the big story that we're all talking

66
00:03:01,254 --> 00:03:05,454
Speaker 2: about is the US election, And it's so funny to

67
00:03:05,694 --> 00:03:08,214
Speaker 2: think about our behavior and the lead up to that election,

68
00:03:08,414 --> 00:03:11,134
Speaker 2: because we obviously did a lot of planning to make

69
00:03:11,174 --> 00:03:14,094
Speaker 2: sure that we were prepared for whatever the potential result was,

70
00:03:14,134 --> 00:03:18,094
Speaker 2: but there was a real like how do I put

71
00:03:18,134 --> 00:03:22,094
Speaker 2: it like, there was real hope that Kamala Harris would

72
00:03:22,094 --> 00:03:24,654
Speaker 2: win that election and that we would see the first

73
00:03:24,974 --> 00:03:28,934
Speaker 2: black woman running the United States and what that would

74
00:03:28,974 --> 00:03:31,254
Speaker 2: mean for all of us, because as we know, when

75
00:03:31,254 --> 00:03:34,854
Speaker 2: Trump won back in twenty sixteen, it came with a

76
00:03:34,854 --> 00:03:39,254
Speaker 2: whole lot of misinformation and division, and it feels like

77
00:03:39,294 --> 00:03:41,174
Speaker 2: a real moment in time where we kind of split

78
00:03:41,254 --> 00:03:45,054
Speaker 2: off into our very far left versus very far right groups.

79
00:03:45,934 --> 00:03:49,054
Speaker 2: But for me as a journalist, having Trump back in

80
00:03:49,094 --> 00:03:54,654
Speaker 2: the White House is like your birthday in a way,

81
00:03:55,334 --> 00:03:57,934
Speaker 2: because it means for the next four years there will

82
00:03:57,974 --> 00:04:02,174
Speaker 2: be so many unhinged, incredible stories to report on that

83
00:04:02,534 --> 00:04:05,014
Speaker 2: every week you'll be going, oh, did that?

84
00:04:05,654 --> 00:04:06,334
Speaker 1: Did that happen?

85
00:04:07,054 --> 00:04:07,174
Speaker 3: Like?

86
00:04:07,454 --> 00:04:10,734
Speaker 2: Whereas what a and admitted station should be is boring.

87
00:04:10,974 --> 00:04:14,494
Speaker 2: They're running the government, They're doing lots of boring governmenty things,

88
00:04:14,494 --> 00:04:16,254
Speaker 2: and we shouldn't care about what they're doing in their

89
00:04:16,254 --> 00:04:19,654
Speaker 2: personal lives or what decisions they're making that are so

90
00:04:19,734 --> 00:04:20,294
Speaker 2: far fetched.

91
00:04:20,374 --> 00:04:23,454
Speaker 3: Right, as is the case traditionally when we talk about politics,

92
00:04:23,454 --> 00:04:27,574
Speaker 3: we're not talking about these massive personalities. And you know,

93
00:04:28,214 --> 00:04:32,494
Speaker 3: ex reality TV stars and potentially even current reality TV

94
00:04:32,574 --> 00:04:35,254
Speaker 3: stars are running the White House and running the government.

95
00:04:35,614 --> 00:04:37,574
Speaker 3: I feel like there was a moment in time the

96
00:04:37,654 --> 00:04:39,614
Speaker 3: lead up to this election. We had Amelia Lester, a

97
00:04:39,774 --> 00:04:42,734
Speaker 3: US correspondent, on this podcast a whole bunch this year,

98
00:04:43,134 --> 00:04:45,774
Speaker 3: and even Amelia, who I would go to is my

99
00:04:45,934 --> 00:04:49,254
Speaker 3: single source of truth when it came to anything US politics,

100
00:04:49,534 --> 00:04:52,214
Speaker 3: she had this great sense of it's going to be okay.

101
00:04:52,774 --> 00:04:55,254
Speaker 3: It looks like the results are leaning towards Harris. And

102
00:04:55,294 --> 00:04:58,054
Speaker 3: then in those final kind of weeks things started to

103
00:04:58,054 --> 00:05:01,414
Speaker 3: take a turn. And then ultimately on election day we

104
00:05:01,574 --> 00:05:05,334
Speaker 3: know what the results were, and the tone changed definitely.

105
00:05:04,974 --> 00:05:05,894
Speaker 1: It really did.

106
00:05:05,974 --> 00:05:08,654
Speaker 2: But then there was that real resignation like, oh okay,

107
00:05:08,894 --> 00:05:10,454
Speaker 2: here we go again. And I feel like if we

108
00:05:10,494 --> 00:05:14,294
Speaker 2: hadn't done Trump one point zero, we would be more devastated.

109
00:05:14,894 --> 00:05:16,574
Speaker 2: So now that Trump two point zero is here, I

110
00:05:16,614 --> 00:05:19,214
Speaker 2: think we are better prepared for what's going to come.

111
00:05:19,374 --> 00:05:22,094
Speaker 2: And I think we should all just kind of ban

112
00:05:22,254 --> 00:05:24,934
Speaker 2: together and get ourselves through this next period of time

113
00:05:24,974 --> 00:05:27,374
Speaker 2: because it's not going to be easy. But moving on

114
00:05:27,414 --> 00:05:30,694
Speaker 2: from the US election, a couple of big announcements this

115
00:05:30,814 --> 00:05:33,054
Speaker 2: year from the royal family kind of really threw us

116
00:05:33,374 --> 00:05:36,134
Speaker 2: for a bit of a loop because we knew last

117
00:05:36,214 --> 00:05:39,854
Speaker 2: year that both King Charles and Kate were not well,

118
00:05:39,934 --> 00:05:42,894
Speaker 2: the Princess of Wales, but Taylor this year they actually

119
00:05:42,974 --> 00:05:45,014
Speaker 2: kind of went real public with stuff that we don't

120
00:05:45,054 --> 00:05:46,134
Speaker 2: normally see, right.

121
00:05:46,214 --> 00:05:49,814
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's something that's pretty out of norm for the

122
00:05:49,974 --> 00:05:53,294
Speaker 3: Royal family, the firm, if you will. They were very open,

123
00:05:53,454 --> 00:05:55,734
Speaker 3: very transparent, as much as they were willing to be

124
00:05:55,774 --> 00:05:58,654
Speaker 3: about what actually was going on with these particular key

125
00:05:58,694 --> 00:06:01,214
Speaker 3: figures in the Royal family. So King Charles of course,

126
00:06:01,334 --> 00:06:05,974
Speaker 3: talking about his cancer diagnosis undergoing treatment, really laid it

127
00:06:06,014 --> 00:06:08,254
Speaker 3: out for us in quite a lot of detail that

128
00:06:08,294 --> 00:06:11,614
Speaker 3: we weren't expecting and probably haven't really experienced before. He

129
00:06:11,654 --> 00:06:13,694
Speaker 3: also made a visit to Australia this year that put

130
00:06:13,694 --> 00:06:17,094
Speaker 3: his treatment on hold and did his best, I think

131
00:06:17,134 --> 00:06:20,014
Speaker 3: to remain as publicly facing as one can at a

132
00:06:20,054 --> 00:06:23,374
Speaker 3: time like that. But then, of course Princess Catherine as well,

133
00:06:23,774 --> 00:06:25,814
Speaker 3: there was speculation at the end of last year when

134
00:06:25,814 --> 00:06:29,014
Speaker 3: she'd said she'd had some surgery, some abdominal surgery, she was,

135
00:06:29,134 --> 00:06:32,854
Speaker 3: you know, undergoing some sort of medical issue. To the

136
00:06:32,894 --> 00:06:36,334
Speaker 3: start of this year, where we all contributed to the

137
00:06:36,414 --> 00:06:36,934
Speaker 3: rumor mill.

138
00:06:37,334 --> 00:06:40,294
Speaker 2: Oh, Kate, Kate, Kate, so much in Kate, and I

139
00:06:40,334 --> 00:06:44,174
Speaker 2: loved that they were like posting these videos they're so

140
00:06:44,374 --> 00:06:47,574
Speaker 2: carefully curated, but they were getting real artsy, like you

141
00:06:47,574 --> 00:06:49,614
Speaker 2: remember that, Like the Royals used to just be very like,

142
00:06:50,094 --> 00:06:52,974
Speaker 2: you know, a stiff upper lip and everything is delivered,

143
00:06:53,014 --> 00:06:56,254
Speaker 2: you know, very formally, whereas like Kate's videos look like

144
00:06:56,334 --> 00:07:00,814
Speaker 2: they're you know, beautiful seascapes, lovely like holiday adventures in

145
00:07:00,854 --> 00:07:02,494
Speaker 2: the in the forest, like.

146
00:07:02,494 --> 00:07:03,894
Speaker 3: Somebody whipped it up on canball.

147
00:07:04,774 --> 00:07:06,774
Speaker 1: Definitely got a videographer in for this.

148
00:07:07,014 --> 00:07:09,014
Speaker 3: It was a real departure from them. Never complained, never

149
00:07:09,094 --> 00:07:13,094
Speaker 3: explained to a fault because there was also the photoshop fail.

150
00:07:13,174 --> 00:07:14,014
Speaker 3: Let us not forget.

151
00:07:14,374 --> 00:07:16,574
Speaker 2: And then we all like we started wondering whether Kate

152
00:07:16,734 --> 00:07:18,934
Speaker 2: was really more sicker than we thought.

153
00:07:19,094 --> 00:07:21,014
Speaker 1: Was she going to die? Was she dead already?

154
00:07:21,254 --> 00:07:23,414
Speaker 3: Were they getting divorced, We're getting divorced?

155
00:07:23,454 --> 00:07:27,014
Speaker 1: Did will kill her? Like there was all this crazy.

156
00:07:26,574 --> 00:07:29,174
Speaker 2: Stuff going on, and we like, obviously we're not going

157
00:07:29,214 --> 00:07:31,454
Speaker 2: to report that, but we got like right sucked into

158
00:07:31,454 --> 00:07:32,214
Speaker 2: it behind the scenes.

159
00:07:32,214 --> 00:07:33,334
Speaker 1: Here, I'm taking that much.

160
00:07:33,574 --> 00:07:35,774
Speaker 3: Something else that happened way back at the start of

161
00:07:35,774 --> 00:07:37,294
Speaker 3: this year, Claire, which I think we just need to

162
00:07:37,334 --> 00:07:39,414
Speaker 3: mention and of course, we'll go into more detail when

163
00:07:39,414 --> 00:07:41,694
Speaker 3: we wrap up twenty twenty four on the Quickie is

164
00:07:41,734 --> 00:07:45,054
Speaker 3: the Bondo massacre was hard to ignore? Yeah, for so

165
00:07:45,134 --> 00:07:48,774
Speaker 3: many reasons. I think, here we are in Sydney and

166
00:07:48,894 --> 00:07:51,094
Speaker 3: it was so so close to home. But I don't

167
00:07:51,134 --> 00:07:54,014
Speaker 3: think that that was the only reason so many people

168
00:07:54,094 --> 00:07:57,294
Speaker 3: were glued to their televisions as it happened that day.

169
00:07:57,334 --> 00:08:00,334
Speaker 2: Well, let me tell you when that unfolded, I was

170
00:08:00,374 --> 00:08:02,614
Speaker 2: filling in on one of our other podcasts too, Mum

171
00:08:02,694 --> 00:08:05,134
Speaker 2: and Me are out Loud, and there was a moment

172
00:08:05,174 --> 00:08:08,094
Speaker 2: where we were discussing how we should talk about this

173
00:08:08,214 --> 00:08:11,774
Speaker 2: because for so many of us, going to your local

174
00:08:11,814 --> 00:08:15,214
Speaker 2: Westfield on a Saturday is just something that we all do,

175
00:08:15,374 --> 00:08:17,014
Speaker 2: Like you go there to you know, show up or

176
00:08:17,054 --> 00:08:19,294
Speaker 2: hang out, or for lots of young mums, it's a

177
00:08:19,294 --> 00:08:21,694
Speaker 2: way to escape the monotony of your day in, day out,

178
00:08:21,734 --> 00:08:24,854
Speaker 2: every day in your house. And we were all talking

179
00:08:24,894 --> 00:08:27,894
Speaker 2: about those feelings. And I was on with Jemma Bath,

180
00:08:27,934 --> 00:08:30,054
Speaker 2: one of our other colleagues, who is a young mum,

181
00:08:30,054 --> 00:08:33,134
Speaker 2: and she was really emotional about it, and you know.

182
00:08:33,174 --> 00:08:37,094
Speaker 1: The other discussion was about, you know, how it made.

183
00:08:37,014 --> 00:08:39,574
Speaker 2: Us feel, and I was like, I just feel really angry,

184
00:08:40,014 --> 00:08:41,654
Speaker 2: and people were like, I don't think we're.

185
00:08:41,494 --> 00:08:43,494
Speaker 1: At anger yet, and I'm like, oh, I am at anger.

186
00:08:44,294 --> 00:08:46,534
Speaker 2: And I really expressed that, and I wanted to say

187
00:08:46,574 --> 00:08:48,774
Speaker 2: to all of the people who messaged me in the

188
00:08:48,814 --> 00:08:51,014
Speaker 2: aftermath of that saying thank you, because I too was

189
00:08:51,094 --> 00:08:53,454
Speaker 2: angry and didn't really know where to put that anger.

190
00:08:54,054 --> 00:08:56,614
Speaker 2: And it's more just it feels like an encroachment on

191
00:08:56,694 --> 00:09:01,054
Speaker 2: our just like as women, it's so much more evident

192
00:09:01,334 --> 00:09:03,934
Speaker 2: that our lives are restricted by men around us because

193
00:09:03,934 --> 00:09:05,734
Speaker 2: we have to live in a sort of vague state

194
00:09:05,774 --> 00:09:09,454
Speaker 2: of fear all the time, just self preservation. And so

195
00:09:09,534 --> 00:09:13,254
Speaker 2: so for that to really be just broadcast across the

196
00:09:13,294 --> 00:09:16,254
Speaker 2: country is like, this is how we feel all the time.

197
00:09:16,894 --> 00:09:18,694
Speaker 2: And I'm angry that I can't even go to my

198
00:09:18,734 --> 00:09:21,254
Speaker 2: freaking Westfield on a Saturday without the fear of some

199
00:09:21,454 --> 00:09:24,734
Speaker 2: man with a forty inch kitchen knife's gonna go berserk,

200
00:09:24,894 --> 00:09:28,094
Speaker 2: like it's just and so that I think that made

201
00:09:28,174 --> 00:09:31,054
Speaker 2: me so angry. And we will talk about this more

202
00:09:31,094 --> 00:09:32,454
Speaker 2: in the wrap up, but I just want to thank

203
00:09:32,494 --> 00:09:33,974
Speaker 2: all of those people who reached out to me and

204
00:09:34,894 --> 00:09:37,694
Speaker 2: said thank you and felt that they too were definitely

205
00:09:37,734 --> 00:09:39,534
Speaker 2: in that place of anger when they had that. Do

206
00:09:39,534 --> 00:09:40,934
Speaker 2: you know one story that is not going to go

207
00:09:40,974 --> 00:09:45,814
Speaker 2: away when the new year arrives is Bloody Diddy. Like

208
00:09:45,894 --> 00:09:48,374
Speaker 2: I've done so many Ditty updates this year, and like

209
00:09:48,454 --> 00:09:50,934
Speaker 2: for good reason, Like there's a lot happening, and it

210
00:09:51,014 --> 00:09:53,054
Speaker 2: is an awful story and there are so many people

211
00:09:53,094 --> 00:09:55,174
Speaker 2: who have been traumatized and hurt by this. But like

212
00:09:55,374 --> 00:09:58,094
Speaker 2: there is days where you and I talk to each

213
00:09:58,134 --> 00:09:58,934
Speaker 2: other where we go.

214
00:10:00,774 --> 00:10:02,694
Speaker 1: Is there enough for another Diddy update this week?

215
00:10:02,934 --> 00:10:06,014
Speaker 2: Not today, not today, Diddy? And it's not funny. I'm

216
00:10:06,014 --> 00:10:07,614
Speaker 2: not laughing because of that. It's more this is a

217
00:10:07,774 --> 00:10:10,134
Speaker 2: sneak beak into how this process works b the scenes.

218
00:10:10,294 --> 00:10:12,374
Speaker 2: But we have to weigh up every week whether there

219
00:10:12,414 --> 00:10:14,414
Speaker 2: is enough information for us to bring you a whole

220
00:10:14,454 --> 00:10:16,654
Speaker 2: new episode about what's going.

221
00:10:16,414 --> 00:10:18,774
Speaker 1: On with this case. Is it's monumental?

222
00:10:19,094 --> 00:10:21,454
Speaker 3: It is. I don't think I've actually ever seen anything

223
00:10:21,534 --> 00:10:23,414
Speaker 3: quite in depth or in the weeds when it comes

224
00:10:23,414 --> 00:10:26,174
Speaker 3: to such a high profile celebrity. I know we've had

225
00:10:26,214 --> 00:10:30,014
Speaker 3: other instances, but it is every day, literally every single day,

226
00:10:30,094 --> 00:10:33,334
Speaker 3: you could google Ditty's name and a brand new story

227
00:10:33,494 --> 00:10:37,294
Speaker 3: would emerge. Another person's added onto the lawsuit. Another person's

228
00:10:37,294 --> 00:10:40,374
Speaker 3: added onto the lawsuit. We've spoken with people who were,

229
00:10:40,414 --> 00:10:43,614
Speaker 3: you know, within the six degrees of separation from Didy

230
00:10:43,694 --> 00:10:47,174
Speaker 3: this year. It is all encompassing. It's not going away,

231
00:10:47,254 --> 00:10:50,534
Speaker 3: and I'm sure we will revisited many times in the

232
00:10:50,574 --> 00:10:53,414
Speaker 3: new year. Speaking of another story that we could have

233
00:10:53,534 --> 00:10:56,494
Speaker 3: brought you every single day is, of course, the continue

234
00:10:57,374 --> 00:11:00,214
Speaker 3: unrest across the Middle East of It's been over a

235
00:11:00,294 --> 00:11:04,414
Speaker 3: year now since the Gaza Israel conflict war started. I

236
00:11:04,414 --> 00:11:06,574
Speaker 3: feel like in twenty twenty four it just expanded and

237
00:11:06,814 --> 00:11:10,414
Speaker 3: the borders expanded of where the conflict went to.

238
00:11:10,694 --> 00:11:14,254
Speaker 2: Do you know what I hate the most about this? Well, no,

239
00:11:14,334 --> 00:11:18,374
Speaker 2: I hate quite a few things about this is deaththoles

240
00:11:18,374 --> 00:11:20,614
Speaker 2: that start to get into the tens of thousands don't

241
00:11:20,654 --> 00:11:26,854
Speaker 2: feel real anymore, Like you can't possibly imagine your sheltered

242
00:11:26,854 --> 00:11:30,974
Speaker 2: Australian brain cannot possibly fathom what it is like, Like

243
00:11:31,214 --> 00:11:35,254
Speaker 2: could you imagine something here where forty four thousand people died,

244
00:11:35,774 --> 00:11:38,414
Speaker 2: Like you cannot even imagine that. And then at the

245
00:11:38,414 --> 00:11:40,934
Speaker 2: same time, I can't imagine being out in the world

246
00:11:41,014 --> 00:11:43,974
Speaker 2: as a Jewish person and knowing that someone might attack

247
00:11:44,374 --> 00:11:46,734
Speaker 2: or murder me because of what is happening in Israel

248
00:11:46,854 --> 00:11:52,054
Speaker 2: right now? Like there's two such divisive sides of this tale,

249
00:11:52,214 --> 00:11:55,414
Speaker 2: and it continues and there doesn't seem to be any

250
00:11:55,494 --> 00:11:58,814
Speaker 2: end inside, and it becomes more and more unfathomable as

251
00:11:58,854 --> 00:11:59,494
Speaker 2: time goes on.

252
00:11:59,654 --> 00:12:01,934
Speaker 3: You're right. I feel like we've talked about potential seas

253
00:12:02,014 --> 00:12:05,254
Speaker 3: fires and coming so close to seasfires so many times

254
00:12:05,294 --> 00:12:08,294
Speaker 3: this year, and with every time that news broke, it

255
00:12:08,334 --> 00:12:12,694
Speaker 3: was like, Okay, is this the one? Yeah, And unfortunately,

256
00:12:12,774 --> 00:12:15,694
Speaker 3: up until the time of recording, we still haven't reached

257
00:12:15,734 --> 00:12:19,574
Speaker 3: that final moment. In fact, we've actually expanded the conflict

258
00:12:19,614 --> 00:12:22,974
Speaker 3: to neighboring countries and so on and so forth. So unfortunately,

259
00:12:22,974 --> 00:12:24,614
Speaker 3: I think this is a story that will follow us

260
00:12:24,654 --> 00:12:29,174
Speaker 3: into twenty twenty five. But hoping that there's a resolution.

261
00:12:29,094 --> 00:12:31,734
Speaker 1: So hoping God can we give an honorable mention?

262
00:12:31,814 --> 00:12:34,414
Speaker 2: Though, as we wrap up, the biggest stories of this

263
00:12:34,534 --> 00:12:38,734
Speaker 2: year of this section is Giselle Pellicott. I feel like

264
00:12:39,174 --> 00:12:41,614
Speaker 2: if anyone should be Times Person of the Year, it's her.

265
00:12:42,054 --> 00:12:44,374
Speaker 2: She if you're not aware of this, is the woman

266
00:12:44,414 --> 00:12:48,974
Speaker 2: who was filmed by her husband being sexually assaulted or

267
00:12:49,014 --> 00:12:52,654
Speaker 2: allegedly sexually assaulted by more than fifty men who have

268
00:12:52,694 --> 00:12:56,014
Speaker 2: all stood trial in France this year for that attack,

269
00:12:56,174 --> 00:12:59,414
Speaker 2: and she has gone like she could have very well

270
00:12:59,414 --> 00:13:03,334
Speaker 2: stayed unidentified. She could have gone through this trying to

271
00:13:03,334 --> 00:13:06,334
Speaker 2: protect herself and her family from any media or public scrutiny.

272
00:13:06,574 --> 00:13:09,094
Speaker 2: And she was like, hell no, I want to change

273
00:13:09,094 --> 00:13:12,054
Speaker 2: the culture around sexual assaults of women in this country

274
00:13:12,054 --> 00:13:14,734
Speaker 2: because it is not taken seriously enough. I want them

275
00:13:14,774 --> 00:13:18,094
Speaker 2: to hear me. I am going to row and people

276
00:13:18,094 --> 00:13:22,174
Speaker 2: are going to listen, and they bloody have It's quite incredible.

277
00:13:22,334 --> 00:13:24,374
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, it's not just her name and her face

278
00:13:24,414 --> 00:13:26,094
Speaker 3: that we saw, but it was her voice as well.

279
00:13:26,294 --> 00:13:30,534
Speaker 3: She got up there in court and she testified against

280
00:13:30,534 --> 00:13:33,774
Speaker 3: her husband, against these fifty two odd men. It was

281
00:13:33,854 --> 00:13:36,814
Speaker 3: so powerful to see her break the silence and really

282
00:13:36,854 --> 00:13:39,294
Speaker 3: break that mold of what it is to be a

283
00:13:39,414 --> 00:13:42,894
Speaker 3: sexual assault survivor. So it was an incredible story born

284
00:13:42,934 --> 00:13:45,174
Speaker 3: out of something so horrific that has happened to her.

285
00:13:45,454 --> 00:13:45,734
Speaker 1: Clara.

286
00:13:45,734 --> 00:13:47,094
Speaker 3: I want to move on to something a little bit

287
00:13:47,534 --> 00:13:50,534
Speaker 3: lighter in tone, and some of our favorite stories of

288
00:13:50,614 --> 00:13:53,734
Speaker 3: this year. Weirdly, they all have a similar theme of

289
00:13:53,774 --> 00:13:55,134
Speaker 3: around the Olympics.

290
00:13:55,694 --> 00:13:59,614
Speaker 2: This is like sometimes we get stories that just they

291
00:13:59,654 --> 00:14:02,614
Speaker 2: make us laugh or they bring such light into our

292
00:14:02,654 --> 00:14:05,494
Speaker 2: lives because we delve in a lot of darkness when

293
00:14:05,494 --> 00:14:07,454
Speaker 2: we do this show. There's a lot of not great

294
00:14:07,534 --> 00:14:10,814
Speaker 2: topics that we really get into it in depth. So

295
00:14:10,894 --> 00:14:13,174
Speaker 2: when a story comes along, and excuse me, there is

296
00:14:13,214 --> 00:14:15,174
Speaker 2: a swear word coming your way. But when a story

297
00:14:15,214 --> 00:14:18,814
Speaker 2: comes along which is entitled shit in the sein like.

298
00:14:18,814 --> 00:14:19,894
Speaker 1: You just have to love that.

299
00:14:20,054 --> 00:14:23,014
Speaker 2: Because French people are so good at protest. I mean,

300
00:14:23,054 --> 00:14:25,494
Speaker 2: they had a whole revolution, they know how this stuff works.

301
00:14:25,814 --> 00:14:29,774
Speaker 2: But they literally in protest of the millions and millions

302
00:14:29,774 --> 00:14:33,014
Speaker 2: of dollars that were going into preparing Paris for the

303
00:14:33,054 --> 00:14:38,494
Speaker 2: Olympic Games this year, in protest on this one day.

304
00:14:38,454 --> 00:14:41,374
Speaker 1: We're all gonna go and drop dak and poop in

305
00:14:41,454 --> 00:14:43,094
Speaker 1: the Sinne River right.

306
00:14:42,974 --> 00:14:46,374
Speaker 3: Before the French president is getting in there to have

307
00:14:46,414 --> 00:14:49,894
Speaker 3: a test, right Vanuel Macron was going to jump in

308
00:14:49,934 --> 00:14:52,494
Speaker 3: for a little dip, and they were like, nope, we

309
00:14:52,574 --> 00:14:53,454
Speaker 3: better delay.

310
00:14:53,174 --> 00:14:56,574
Speaker 1: That, hold off on that.

311
00:14:56,734 --> 00:15:00,254
Speaker 3: It was June twenty three. It was a summary day

312
00:15:00,294 --> 00:15:04,134
Speaker 3: in Paris, and people across the nation were traveling to

313
00:15:04,294 --> 00:15:07,294
Speaker 3: the capital in the hopes of, like you said, dropping

314
00:15:07,374 --> 00:15:12,894
Speaker 3: dak and then dropping some wood a cut a long

315
00:15:12,934 --> 00:15:15,974
Speaker 3: story short. It didn't quite go down that historic, didn't.

316
00:15:16,334 --> 00:15:18,454
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people may have got stage

317
00:15:18,454 --> 00:15:19,574
Speaker 3: fright understandably.

318
00:15:19,854 --> 00:15:23,214
Speaker 2: But also they posted security like literally along this entire strait.

319
00:15:23,214 --> 00:15:25,294
Speaker 1: I had that wand up. They had that pretty well

320
00:15:25,334 --> 00:15:25,814
Speaker 1: locked down.

321
00:15:25,854 --> 00:15:27,294
Speaker 3: I think I shood in the center. I remember being

322
00:15:27,294 --> 00:15:29,494
Speaker 3: in the planning meeting for the Quickie that week and

323
00:15:29,614 --> 00:15:32,494
Speaker 3: it was a unanimous yes, no questions asked. Let's move on.

324
00:15:33,174 --> 00:15:35,894
Speaker 3: Another Olympic story that I think not just we were

325
00:15:35,934 --> 00:15:39,214
Speaker 3: obsessed with the world. It made Halloween costumes this year.

326
00:15:39,614 --> 00:15:42,454
Speaker 3: There was talk about if this particular person should be

327
00:15:43,014 --> 00:15:45,654
Speaker 3: like an icon of twenty twenty four. I'm talking, of

328
00:15:45,654 --> 00:15:48,894
Speaker 3: course about Reygun Oh Raygun bless a soul.

329
00:15:49,454 --> 00:15:50,854
Speaker 1: I'm still a little.

330
00:15:50,574 --> 00:15:53,694
Speaker 2: Confused about what really happened there because there was all

331
00:15:53,774 --> 00:15:56,094
Speaker 2: that conspiracy theory that she was just doing this for

332
00:15:56,214 --> 00:15:59,094
Speaker 2: like a thesis or something at her for her university.

333
00:15:59,254 --> 00:16:01,134
Speaker 3: I'm still unsure if he was taken the piss or not.

334
00:16:01,534 --> 00:16:04,494
Speaker 3: Was she taking the piss? This is the question if

335
00:16:04,534 --> 00:16:08,854
Speaker 3: you ask her on the project. No, yes, but one

336
00:16:08,894 --> 00:16:11,254
Speaker 3: has to one. When we watched the footage.

337
00:16:10,814 --> 00:16:14,934
Speaker 2: Back, it feels like like someone had to have seen

338
00:16:15,014 --> 00:16:17,734
Speaker 2: that before it got to that stage, right before you

339
00:16:17,774 --> 00:16:18,894
Speaker 2: were at the Olympics.

340
00:16:18,974 --> 00:16:19,774
Speaker 3: Who's her coach?

341
00:16:19,974 --> 00:16:22,814
Speaker 2: Someone saw the performance that she was going to do

342
00:16:22,894 --> 00:16:24,814
Speaker 2: and knew other performance of the other people were going

343
00:16:24,894 --> 00:16:25,134
Speaker 2: to be.

344
00:16:25,174 --> 00:16:27,214
Speaker 3: Like, I want to know what Snoop Dogg thought, because

345
00:16:27,214 --> 00:16:27,694
Speaker 3: he was there.

346
00:16:27,814 --> 00:16:30,534
Speaker 1: He was there. Was ever said anything about Reaga.

347
00:16:30,694 --> 00:16:33,334
Speaker 3: I don't think he has. He's the unsung hero of

348
00:16:33,454 --> 00:16:34,574
Speaker 3: the Snoop.

349
00:16:34,214 --> 00:16:38,454
Speaker 2: Dogs where he was literally everywhere, and I love that

350
00:16:38,454 --> 00:16:41,094
Speaker 2: he had like interactions with Simone Biles because Snoop Dog's

351
00:16:41,094 --> 00:16:44,054
Speaker 2: a big, tall, lanky fella inside Glas is the tiniest.

352
00:16:43,694 --> 00:16:45,574
Speaker 3: Little human on the Planet's truly cute.

353
00:16:45,854 --> 00:16:50,014
Speaker 2: Let's talk about our favorite interviews with the favorite interviews

354
00:16:50,014 --> 00:16:54,814
Speaker 2: of the year. I sat down with David Atkins still

355
00:16:54,854 --> 00:16:57,534
Speaker 2: speaking about Olympics because we were looking at the opening

356
00:16:57,534 --> 00:16:59,094
Speaker 2: ceremony of Paris and wondering what it was going to

357
00:16:59,134 --> 00:17:00,494
Speaker 2: be like because it was the first one that wasn't

358
00:17:00,534 --> 00:17:03,574
Speaker 2: Inner Venue. And then we're like, what does it take

359
00:17:03,654 --> 00:17:06,054
Speaker 2: to put on an opening ceremony like it's a big deal.

360
00:17:06,614 --> 00:17:09,694
Speaker 2: Your entire country is looking on and judging you. So

361
00:17:09,694 --> 00:17:12,534
Speaker 2: he spoke to David Atkins, who actually did the Sydney

362
00:17:12,534 --> 00:17:15,974
Speaker 2: two thousand opening and closing ceremonies, And it was so

363
00:17:16,054 --> 00:17:19,814
Speaker 2: insightful because there were so many iconic moments from that

364
00:17:19,934 --> 00:17:23,094
Speaker 2: opening ceremony and closing ceremony, like Kylie riding on the

365
00:17:23,094 --> 00:17:25,814
Speaker 2: thong and you know, the drag queens.

366
00:17:25,374 --> 00:17:27,454
Speaker 1: In their high heel shoe cars.

367
00:17:27,534 --> 00:17:30,094
Speaker 2: And then he happened to drop this little nugget of

368
00:17:30,134 --> 00:17:31,694
Speaker 2: information because I said to.

369
00:17:31,734 --> 00:17:34,974
Speaker 3: Him, hang on, Claire, you've forgotten about the most important part.

370
00:17:35,334 --> 00:17:38,014
Speaker 3: It's Nicki Webster care fading from the ceiling.

371
00:17:38,174 --> 00:17:38,534
Speaker 1: Sorry.

372
00:17:38,934 --> 00:17:42,534
Speaker 2: Yes, a small child did fly around the arena quite vigorously.

373
00:17:42,654 --> 00:17:45,454
Speaker 1: But David told us that because.

374
00:17:45,254 --> 00:17:48,974
Speaker 2: I mentioned to him that the Sydney breakfast radio show

375
00:17:49,014 --> 00:17:52,214
Speaker 2: Fits in Whipper had found Kylie's song in some random

376
00:17:52,254 --> 00:17:55,214
Speaker 2: blokes backyard and had restored it, not in a sentence

377
00:17:55,294 --> 00:17:57,814
Speaker 2: that I thought you'd be saying, and then you lost

378
00:17:57,814 --> 00:17:59,734
Speaker 2: it again. So we still don't know where Kylie's sung

379
00:17:59,774 --> 00:18:01,614
Speaker 2: is to this day. And I said to him, do

380
00:18:01,654 --> 00:18:04,574
Speaker 2: you know where any of the stuff is? And he goes, well, no,

381
00:18:04,774 --> 00:18:07,374
Speaker 2: because a lot of people were just taking it after

382
00:18:07,414 --> 00:18:10,854
Speaker 2: the ceremony, said but there is a report of a

383
00:18:11,094 --> 00:18:15,734
Speaker 2: police officer I believe riding in a drag queen's high

384
00:18:15,774 --> 00:18:20,014
Speaker 2: heel shoe down a major road of Sydney in the

385
00:18:20,054 --> 00:18:22,654
Speaker 2: aftermath of the closing ceremony, which I think is just

386
00:18:22,854 --> 00:18:23,494
Speaker 2: gold that.

387
00:18:23,534 --> 00:18:24,694
Speaker 1: Tracks, that feels.

388
00:18:24,694 --> 00:18:27,934
Speaker 3: So I mean, just keep riding it around till February March.

389
00:18:27,934 --> 00:18:30,454
Speaker 1: For Marti Gras will be just get out of your uniform.

390
00:18:30,694 --> 00:18:32,454
Speaker 3: We have a weird thing in Australia where we don't

391
00:18:32,534 --> 00:18:34,814
Speaker 3: do preservation very well because I always think about the

392
00:18:34,814 --> 00:18:36,734
Speaker 3: bus from Priscilla Quinn of the Desert. I think it

393
00:18:36,854 --> 00:18:38,814
Speaker 3: ended up in someone's backyard in Adelaide.

394
00:18:38,934 --> 00:18:41,974
Speaker 2: I think it's now in the Motor Museum in South

395
00:18:41,974 --> 00:18:45,694
Speaker 2: Australian been restored. Yes, yeah, now, but ye'd sat rotting

396
00:18:45,734 --> 00:18:48,254
Speaker 2: and some dude like border property and just found it

397
00:18:48,534 --> 00:18:50,934
Speaker 2: like he literally was just left behind as we do.

398
00:18:51,094 --> 00:18:52,894
Speaker 3: The other person that I want to shout out as

399
00:18:52,894 --> 00:18:54,894
Speaker 3: one of my favorite interviewees of the year on the

400
00:18:54,974 --> 00:18:58,374
Speaker 3: Quickie is Amelia Lester. She appeared so much and was

401
00:18:58,414 --> 00:19:02,534
Speaker 3: so integral to all of our US political coverage. Most importantly, though,

402
00:19:02,574 --> 00:19:05,574
Speaker 3: I could ask her the most obscure US political question

403
00:19:05,774 --> 00:19:08,534
Speaker 3: and without batting an eyelid, she had the answer straight

404
00:19:08,534 --> 00:19:12,574
Speaker 3: away in a comprehensive and thoughtful way that didn't make

405
00:19:12,614 --> 00:19:14,094
Speaker 3: me feel really really stupid.

406
00:19:14,214 --> 00:19:16,174
Speaker 2: Yeah, well let me tell you something too. And I

407
00:19:16,214 --> 00:19:20,614
Speaker 2: wish that I had kind of kept this just for posterity.

408
00:19:20,694 --> 00:19:23,814
Speaker 2: But Amelia and I didn't stop talking when the microphones

409
00:19:23,854 --> 00:19:24,454
Speaker 2: were turned off.

410
00:19:24,574 --> 00:19:27,094
Speaker 1: So we would sit and chat for a good.

411
00:19:26,974 --> 00:19:29,174
Speaker 2: You know, maybe after a half an hour after we'd

412
00:19:29,174 --> 00:19:33,094
Speaker 2: finished our actual formal interviews, and we just talked about

413
00:19:33,134 --> 00:19:35,454
Speaker 2: how this whole election was making us feel and what

414
00:19:35,494 --> 00:19:39,254
Speaker 2: our worst fears were. And then we would sometimes just

415
00:19:40,094 --> 00:19:42,014
Speaker 2: like there was one interview that we did together when

416
00:19:42,014 --> 00:19:44,854
Speaker 2: Trump started appointing all this cabinet nominees.

417
00:19:44,934 --> 00:19:47,374
Speaker 1: That was the day, and we couldn't stop.

418
00:19:47,174 --> 00:19:51,254
Speaker 2: Laughing, Like it just it felt so absurd that you

419
00:19:51,294 --> 00:19:54,654
Speaker 2: would just chuck all your mate This is like literally

420
00:19:55,094 --> 00:19:58,814
Speaker 2: if I all of a sudden just went all my

421
00:19:58,894 --> 00:20:01,534
Speaker 2: mates from like the footy club, like you can be

422
00:20:01,614 --> 00:20:03,854
Speaker 2: in charge of, I don't know, espionage.

423
00:20:05,974 --> 00:20:09,334
Speaker 1: It felt so ridiculous that I just could not stop laughing.

424
00:20:09,534 --> 00:20:11,454
Speaker 3: And your mum makes you invite everybody in the class

425
00:20:11,494 --> 00:20:14,174
Speaker 3: to the party. Trump did that, but with his friends

426
00:20:14,414 --> 00:20:15,894
Speaker 3: and cabinet positions.

427
00:20:16,494 --> 00:20:19,934
Speaker 2: It's so wild and so like Amelia has just done

428
00:20:19,974 --> 00:20:23,014
Speaker 2: the hard yards this year. And she was actually really

429
00:20:23,014 --> 00:20:27,134
Speaker 2: emotional after Trump won, and she was in the US

430
00:20:27,534 --> 00:20:31,374
Speaker 2: when he lost last time and experienced the absolute turmoil

431
00:20:31,414 --> 00:20:34,734
Speaker 2: towards the end of his last administration, and she was

432
00:20:34,734 --> 00:20:36,814
Speaker 2: really emotional about it. And yet she kind of like

433
00:20:37,014 --> 00:20:38,814
Speaker 2: just hung in there and got us through all of that.

434
00:20:38,974 --> 00:20:40,014
Speaker 1: Yeah, we owe her a lot.

435
00:20:40,214 --> 00:20:42,614
Speaker 3: One more honorable mention that I have to give.

436
00:20:42,894 --> 00:20:43,854
Speaker 1: We talked to a lot of.

437
00:20:43,934 --> 00:20:46,694
Speaker 3: People on the Quickie cre lots of high profile guests

438
00:20:46,734 --> 00:20:50,574
Speaker 3: comes through this place. When the Prime Minister joined us

439
00:20:50,614 --> 00:20:52,974
Speaker 3: this year, it was nice, it was lovely.

440
00:20:54,014 --> 00:20:56,934
Speaker 1: He's a genuinely likable fellow.

441
00:20:57,134 --> 00:21:01,934
Speaker 3: Sure, what I didn't expect to happen was post interview

442
00:21:02,934 --> 00:21:09,974
Speaker 3: a WhatsApp thread of chaos between myself and his lead

443
00:21:10,054 --> 00:21:10,734
Speaker 3: media advisors.

444
00:21:10,814 --> 00:21:14,014
Speaker 2: Should we just say that not all politicians are a

445
00:21:14,214 --> 00:21:17,574
Speaker 2: tech savvy, be in control of their own social media

446
00:21:17,654 --> 00:21:21,894
Speaker 2: accounts or see like, have limitations on what they are

447
00:21:21,934 --> 00:21:22,894
Speaker 2: and aren't allowed to do.

448
00:21:23,414 --> 00:21:23,694
Speaker 1: Sure?

449
00:21:24,534 --> 00:21:28,214
Speaker 3: Yeah, So we popped up a video of Claire and

450
00:21:28,374 --> 00:21:31,334
Speaker 3: the Prime Minister having a chat. They wanted to collab

451
00:21:31,374 --> 00:21:33,414
Speaker 3: on it. They were very excited about it. They wanted

452
00:21:33,494 --> 00:21:36,974
Speaker 3: us to cross post it. Essentially to their account. What

453
00:21:37,174 --> 00:21:39,934
Speaker 3: ensued was a twenty five minute back and forth between

454
00:21:39,934 --> 00:21:42,974
Speaker 3: me and his lead media advisor because we couldn't figure

455
00:21:43,014 --> 00:21:46,454
Speaker 3: out why we could not get Albow's name. Elbow, MP,

456
00:21:46,734 --> 00:21:50,294
Speaker 3: if you're not familiar, if you're nasty to collab with

457
00:21:50,334 --> 00:21:53,294
Speaker 3: the QUICKI instagram cut along story short. I get a

458
00:21:53,414 --> 00:21:56,734
Speaker 3: very blunt text back, Ah, he doesn't.

459
00:21:56,334 --> 00:22:00,494
Speaker 1: Follow you, Albow, so rude.

460
00:22:00,774 --> 00:22:04,774
Speaker 3: I have never felt so rejected by somebody that I

461
00:22:04,854 --> 00:22:07,534
Speaker 3: literally don't know in my life.

462
00:22:07,614 --> 00:22:09,814
Speaker 2: To be fair, the PM reached out to us and

463
00:22:09,814 --> 00:22:13,254
Speaker 2: said I've got the much childcare and we're like, yeah.

464
00:22:13,134 --> 00:22:14,574
Speaker 1: Come on in. And then it's like, oh no, I

465
00:22:14,574 --> 00:22:15,214
Speaker 1: don't follow you.

466
00:22:15,534 --> 00:22:18,014
Speaker 3: Yeah it's okay, thank you, but no, thank you.

467
00:22:18,134 --> 00:22:19,454
Speaker 1: We don't feel rejected.

468
00:22:19,494 --> 00:22:21,654
Speaker 3: Update though, he totally follows us now.

469
00:22:21,414 --> 00:22:23,734
Speaker 2: Because he had to. He had no choice. He had

470
00:22:23,734 --> 00:22:26,214
Speaker 2: to collabor on that post. So it sucks to be you.

471
00:22:26,734 --> 00:22:31,254
Speaker 3: All right, let's finish on a strong note.

472
00:22:31,254 --> 00:22:32,814
Speaker 1: Here's how things work on the Quickie.

473
00:22:32,854 --> 00:22:35,214
Speaker 2: We come together once a week or every day actually,

474
00:22:35,294 --> 00:22:36,894
Speaker 2: but we have a bigger meeting once a week where

475
00:22:36,934 --> 00:22:39,334
Speaker 2: we throw all the story ideas we have at the

476
00:22:39,374 --> 00:22:41,654
Speaker 2: moment down on the table and then we sift through

477
00:22:41,694 --> 00:22:43,814
Speaker 2: them when we go nut that shit Now, that's good now,

478
00:22:44,054 --> 00:22:45,854
Speaker 2: definitely to have to do that. That's what everyone is

479
00:22:45,894 --> 00:22:48,094
Speaker 2: talking about. That's what's happening in women's worlds right now.

480
00:22:48,134 --> 00:22:49,814
Speaker 2: So there's lots of filters that we put them through,

481
00:22:50,414 --> 00:22:53,574
Speaker 2: but every now and then we get some randoms and

482
00:22:53,614 --> 00:22:55,574
Speaker 2: some of them make up like some of them have.

483
00:22:55,894 --> 00:22:57,854
Speaker 2: Like my favorite episode I've ever made of all time,

484
00:22:57,894 --> 00:22:59,934
Speaker 2: as everybody knows, is the one we made about fat

485
00:22:59,974 --> 00:23:02,014
Speaker 2: bergs because I'm obsessed with them. And if you don't

486
00:23:02,014 --> 00:23:03,214
Speaker 2: know what they are, go listen to.

487
00:23:03,214 --> 00:23:05,214
Speaker 3: The episode Shit in the End, Perfect Shit in the.

488
00:23:05,334 --> 00:23:07,254
Speaker 2: End was amazing, Like, I loved that. But there are

489
00:23:07,534 --> 00:23:11,174
Speaker 2: stories Taylor that just like we laugh and we love them,

490
00:23:11,174 --> 00:23:12,894
Speaker 2: but they do not make the cut.

491
00:23:13,054 --> 00:23:15,614
Speaker 3: We would like to call this section the cutting room.

492
00:23:15,774 --> 00:23:17,734
Speaker 1: Yore, Okay, please take it away.

493
00:23:18,054 --> 00:23:20,414
Speaker 3: Okay. This one is a special shout out to our

494
00:23:20,454 --> 00:23:25,294
Speaker 3: content manager Tulisa Bizads, who, for I reckon every single

495
00:23:25,414 --> 00:23:30,094
Speaker 3: planning meeting she sat on pitched us quicksand quicksand.

496
00:23:31,494 --> 00:23:33,294
Speaker 2: Like no context, it wasn't in the news, no one

497
00:23:33,374 --> 00:23:35,534
Speaker 2: was having issues with quicksand she was just wanting us

498
00:23:35,534 --> 00:23:36,694
Speaker 2: to figure out if it exists.

499
00:23:36,814 --> 00:23:39,294
Speaker 3: She was ready to throw the entire Mumma Mere podcast

500
00:23:39,374 --> 00:23:41,814
Speaker 3: resources behind this story. We were going to do like

501
00:23:41,814 --> 00:23:44,574
Speaker 3: a five part series on quicksand it's more common than

502
00:23:44,614 --> 00:23:47,774
Speaker 3: you think, allegedly, so shout out to Tulissa. We still

503
00:23:47,814 --> 00:23:50,374
Speaker 3: haven't made that episode and probably won't next year.

504
00:23:50,654 --> 00:23:54,334
Speaker 2: Well, okay, in the same vein, we our previous producer

505
00:23:54,414 --> 00:23:59,494
Speaker 2: on this show. She really, like Kelly Borg, really was obsessed.

506
00:23:59,494 --> 00:24:00,854
Speaker 2: And I get this, and this is kind of in

507
00:24:00,854 --> 00:24:05,014
Speaker 2: the quicksand vein because when you're young, you are more

508
00:24:05,054 --> 00:24:07,094
Speaker 2: concerned about things. As you grow up, you realize you

509
00:24:07,094 --> 00:24:10,054
Speaker 2: should never have been concerned about like Quicksand for example,

510
00:24:10,454 --> 00:24:13,054
Speaker 2: because she was obsessed with the Bermuda Triangle.

511
00:24:13,014 --> 00:24:15,534
Speaker 3: Just doesn't come up that often, doesn't pop up.

512
00:24:15,494 --> 00:24:16,774
Speaker 1: Into conversation regularly.

513
00:24:16,974 --> 00:24:18,454
Speaker 2: But she was like, we need to know about the

514
00:24:18,454 --> 00:24:21,454
Speaker 2: Bermuda Triangle because every now and then, like another plane

515
00:24:21,494 --> 00:24:24,134
Speaker 2: would be found under the water somewhere in the Bermuda trunk.

516
00:24:24,134 --> 00:24:27,534
Speaker 1: She's like, see, we have to do a story on

517
00:24:27,614 --> 00:24:28,534
Speaker 1: the Immuda Triangle.

518
00:24:28,534 --> 00:24:30,694
Speaker 2: And I was like, Babe, I'm so sorry, but I

519
00:24:30,774 --> 00:24:31,974
Speaker 2: just don't think it's gonna happen.

520
00:24:32,054 --> 00:24:33,694
Speaker 3: I mean, you had a Pearler in here as well

521
00:24:33,694 --> 00:24:34,054
Speaker 3: this year.

522
00:24:34,214 --> 00:24:36,814
Speaker 2: Look, this has been on the list for like two

523
00:24:36,974 --> 00:24:39,694
Speaker 2: three years now, and I think I've only just deleted

524
00:24:39,694 --> 00:24:40,734
Speaker 2: it off the list because I'm like.

525
00:24:40,734 --> 00:24:43,494
Speaker 1: No one is gonna let me make this. But I'm

526
00:24:43,494 --> 00:24:44,814
Speaker 1: obsessed with cheese dreams.

527
00:24:47,294 --> 00:24:49,414
Speaker 2: Now, this is a theory that like, if you eat

528
00:24:49,814 --> 00:24:51,574
Speaker 2: a certain amount of cheese before you go to bed,

529
00:24:51,654 --> 00:24:54,654
Speaker 2: you'll have like crazy dreams and like have something happens

530
00:24:54,694 --> 00:24:55,134
Speaker 2: in your brain?

531
00:24:55,214 --> 00:24:56,534
Speaker 3: Is it a particular type of cheese.

532
00:24:56,534 --> 00:24:56,934
Speaker 1: I don't know.

533
00:24:57,014 --> 00:24:59,774
Speaker 2: We need to investigate and how like how close to bed?

534
00:25:00,014 --> 00:25:03,934
Speaker 2: See another question? We need to see what I mean.

535
00:25:04,214 --> 00:25:05,814
Speaker 2: We need to get an expert in here to talk

536
00:25:05,854 --> 00:25:08,214
Speaker 2: to us about cheese dreams. I'm telling you, Look, it's

537
00:25:08,214 --> 00:25:09,174
Speaker 2: not totally off the table.

538
00:25:09,174 --> 00:25:11,814
Speaker 3: There was a story last year or a couple of

539
00:25:11,854 --> 00:25:15,694
Speaker 3: years ago about people who played classical music to cheese. Yeah,

540
00:25:15,734 --> 00:25:18,494
Speaker 3: as it was being produced. So the cheese is on

541
00:25:18,534 --> 00:25:18,934
Speaker 3: the radar.

542
00:25:19,094 --> 00:25:21,494
Speaker 2: Cheese is everywhere, and we all love it. I mean,

543
00:25:21,574 --> 00:25:24,774
Speaker 2: unless you're lactose intolerant and I'm sorry, don't love chees. Well,

544
00:25:24,774 --> 00:25:26,294
Speaker 2: we don't love what cheese does to you, but like

545
00:25:26,494 --> 00:25:29,374
Speaker 2: cheese dreams, yes, Okay, So now you have a bit

546
00:25:29,374 --> 00:25:31,334
Speaker 2: of a peek behind the curtain and how the sausage

547
00:25:31,374 --> 00:25:31,654
Speaker 2: is make.

548
00:25:31,814 --> 00:25:34,294
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a bit chaotic, but we absolutely love it

549
00:25:34,374 --> 00:25:36,454
Speaker 3: and we hope you've loved it as well this year too.

551
00:25:38,854 --> 00:25:41,334
Speaker 3: if someone's ever thought I wonder how a news podcast

552
00:25:41,334 --> 00:25:43,614
Speaker 3: gets made, this is just how we make our little

553
00:25:43,654 --> 00:25:44,774
Speaker 3: slice of the pie. Yeah.

554
00:25:44,854 --> 00:25:48,214
Speaker 1: And of course, if you have story ideas like cheese dreams.

555
