Actually, I think the odd thing about 21 00:01:04,133 --> 00:01:09,453 Speaker 4: the colossal squid is its name. I think in a way, 22 00:01:09,653 --> 00:01:14,013 Speaker 4: I don't think the colossal squid is colossal. It's large, 23 00:01:14,053 --> 00:01:19,613 Speaker 4: but it's not colossal Colossal squid exhibition it to Papa. 24 00:01:20,133 --> 00:01:23,333 Speaker 2: Yeah, and we still have it there, don't Yeah, Yeah, 25 00:01:23,653 --> 00:01:25,333 Speaker 2: I think it's still Yeah, I think that's Papa. 26 00:01:25,613 --> 00:01:27,293 Speaker 3: It's fantastic that that exhibition. 27 00:01:27,373 --> 00:01:30,093 Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean it's still so what I mean, 28 00:01:30,293 --> 00:01:32,533 Speaker 2: so they can go to about seventeen meters I think, 29 00:01:33,133 --> 00:01:34,173 Speaker 2: but I suppose that they're not. 30 00:01:34,893 --> 00:01:38,133 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that that's a good size. I must say 31 00:01:38,453 --> 00:01:40,373 Speaker 4: maybe the one that was that to Papa was a 32 00:01:40,373 --> 00:01:44,493 Speaker 4: bit on the smallest side. But remember feeling a great 33 00:01:44,533 --> 00:01:47,693 Speaker 4: sense of disappointment actually when I saw it it was 34 00:01:47,693 --> 00:01:51,093 Speaker 4: not colossal, but yeah, but it was terrific. And that 35 00:01:51,493 --> 00:01:53,853 Speaker 4: I don't say that in any way to disagree with 36 00:01:53,853 --> 00:01:54,853 Speaker 4: the points you've made. 37 00:01:54,973 --> 00:01:56,773 Speaker 2: I think I think the thing about the squid is 38 00:01:56,773 --> 00:01:58,853 Speaker 2: it sort of needs to be in the ocean for 39 00:01:58,933 --> 00:02:01,693 Speaker 2: you to appreciate its full size. Like even when you 40 00:02:01,733 --> 00:02:03,733 Speaker 2: see the Tapapa one, which I think is I just love. 41 00:02:03,613 --> 00:02:05,613 Speaker 3: That exhibition, how they've kind of preserved it. 42 00:02:05,653 --> 00:02:07,613 Speaker 2: But if you if it's just if it's it's like 43 00:02:07,653 --> 00:02:10,253 Speaker 2: it's been deflated, and you know, when a squid is 44 00:02:10,293 --> 00:02:13,413 Speaker 2: actually swimming, how the water kind of fills its whole 45 00:02:13,573 --> 00:02:16,093 Speaker 2: anatomy in space, and so you kind of, you know, 46 00:02:16,093 --> 00:02:17,733 Speaker 2: it's almost like an inflated balloon. 47 00:02:18,293 --> 00:02:19,493 Speaker 3: And I the sense that. 48 00:02:19,493 --> 00:02:22,293 Speaker 2: I get with the with the with the one at Tapapa. 49 00:02:22,333 --> 00:02:24,653 Speaker 2: And usually when you see colossal squid, you know, when 50 00:02:24,653 --> 00:02:27,133 Speaker 2: they occasionally wash up on beaches or they find them, 51 00:02:27,373 --> 00:02:29,373 Speaker 2: you know, in Wales bellies and that kind of thing, 52 00:02:29,573 --> 00:02:32,093 Speaker 2: usually they're deflated, so you don't get a full sense 53 00:02:32,093 --> 00:02:33,853 Speaker 2: of the kind of scale. But they need to be 54 00:02:34,053 --> 00:02:36,373 Speaker 2: in their natural environment to get that scale, I think. 55 00:02:36,453 --> 00:02:39,893 Speaker 2: And interestingly, actually the one they filmed and I conveniently 56 00:02:39,933 --> 00:02:42,213 Speaker 2: didn't mention this, but it was only thirty centimeters, so 57 00:02:42,253 --> 00:02:46,493 Speaker 2: it was a juvenile So it was you know, you're 58 00:02:46,533 --> 00:02:48,413 Speaker 2: sort of saying, this colossal squid, and then you scroll 59 00:02:48,413 --> 00:02:51,093 Speaker 2: down two paragraphs on the on the scientific reportings, is 60 00:02:51,093 --> 00:02:53,333 Speaker 2: this colossal squid at thirty centimeters And I think, well, 61 00:02:53,373 --> 00:02:56,493 Speaker 2: you know it's yeah, the name he is not ideal. 62 00:02:56,533 --> 00:02:58,773 Speaker 3: Other but my gosh, have you seen the pictures. 63 00:02:58,813 --> 00:03:00,973 Speaker 4: Yeah, no I haven't. 64 00:03:01,093 --> 00:03:01,933 Speaker 3: Oh they're beautiful. 65 00:03:02,253 --> 00:03:05,093 Speaker 2: It's so alien, that's the thing, especially especially in its 66 00:03:05,133 --> 00:03:07,693 Speaker 2: natural environment where it's so there's no kind of natural 67 00:03:07,773 --> 00:03:10,333 Speaker 2: light or anything at six hundred meters, it's just perfect black, 68 00:03:10,693 --> 00:03:12,453 Speaker 2: and you know they have just kind of lights at 69 00:03:12,453 --> 00:03:14,773 Speaker 2: that depth. So yeah, it's absolutely amazing. If you get 70 00:03:14,773 --> 00:03:16,293 Speaker 2: a chance, we'll make sure. Actually we put a photo 71 00:03:16,413 --> 00:03:19,053 Speaker 2: up on the news talks he'db website. But Kevin, you 72 00:03:18,333 --> 00:03:21,533 Speaker 2: have you've got into the spirit of Easter. In fact, 73 00:03:21,533 --> 00:03:23,293 Speaker 2: you got into it early this year, as way back 74 00:03:23,333 --> 00:03:24,293 Speaker 2: as Thursday. 75 00:03:24,893 --> 00:03:28,373 Speaker 4: Yeah, earlier in the week I was wondering what eastery 76 00:03:28,533 --> 00:03:31,693 Speaker 4: topic to talk about today, and on Thursday it just 77 00:03:31,773 --> 00:03:37,053 Speaker 4: fell into place. Literally. Last Thursday, of course, was Maundy Thursday, 78 00:03:37,173 --> 00:03:41,253 Speaker 4: or as the Christian Church calls it, Holy Thursday, The 79 00:03:41,333 --> 00:03:45,453 Speaker 4: day commemorates the Last Supper, when Jesus Christ shared bread 80 00:03:45,453 --> 00:03:49,653 Speaker 4: and wine with his apostles prior to his crucifixion. On 81 00:03:49,693 --> 00:03:53,413 Speaker 4: that occasion, Christ washed the feet of his apostles and 82 00:03:53,493 --> 00:03:57,333 Speaker 4: a demonstration of humility, you're never too flashed to do 83 00:03:57,373 --> 00:04:01,253 Speaker 4: the dirty work basically, so the theme of Maundy Thursday 84 00:04:01,693 --> 00:04:05,973 Speaker 4: remains humility. And it was in that spirit that on 85 00:04:06,013 --> 00:04:09,813 Speaker 4: Thursday Day I took a tumble outside the busy entrance 86 00:04:09,893 --> 00:04:13,653 Speaker 4: way to my local New World supermarket. It was not 87 00:04:13,853 --> 00:04:16,613 Speaker 4: a down on your knees and up again quick kind 88 00:04:16,653 --> 00:04:19,613 Speaker 4: of tumble. Now I took a full length dive on 89 00:04:19,693 --> 00:04:23,893 Speaker 4: the concrete. My newest trainers had gripped onto the concrete 90 00:04:24,133 --> 00:04:27,013 Speaker 4: I was dashing towards the supermarket. I went down as 91 00:04:27,013 --> 00:04:30,493 Speaker 4: if someone invisible had tackled me, which must have looked 92 00:04:30,493 --> 00:04:33,853 Speaker 4: pretty silly. A man came to the rescue, which elected 93 00:04:33,853 --> 00:04:36,933 Speaker 4: some assistance to get up. In the past, my pride 94 00:04:36,933 --> 00:04:40,413 Speaker 4: would have answered for me, no, I'm fine, thanks, but 95 00:04:40,493 --> 00:04:43,213 Speaker 4: I since there was nothing nearby to haul myself up on, 96 00:04:43,293 --> 00:04:46,253 Speaker 4: so I said yes please. I might still actually have 97 00:04:46,333 --> 00:04:48,813 Speaker 4: been there trying to get up if the man hadn't 98 00:04:48,853 --> 00:04:53,133 Speaker 4: given me the hand. Nothing was hurt, but my pride jack. 99 00:04:53,613 --> 00:04:56,853 Speaker 4: As you'd know, if you're a reasonably well known character 100 00:04:57,173 --> 00:05:00,293 Speaker 4: and you make a chump of yourself, you wrongly feel 101 00:05:00,333 --> 00:05:04,093 Speaker 4: the whole world's watching and whispering. I always thought that 102 00:05:04,133 --> 00:05:07,133 Speaker 4: bloke was a bit of a goof way. That was 103 00:05:07,173 --> 00:05:12,453 Speaker 4: my Maundy Thursday moment of humility, admittedly not by choice. 104 00:05:12,893 --> 00:05:16,813 Speaker 4: On reflection, I think I'd rather watch somebody's feet, or 105 00:05:16,853 --> 00:05:21,333 Speaker 4: better still, hand out specially minted coins as the King 106 00:05:21,413 --> 00:05:24,893 Speaker 4: did on Maundy Thursday. 107 00:05:25,493 --> 00:05:27,333 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's almost impossible. 108 00:05:27,373 --> 00:05:30,213 Speaker 2: There's no good reaction after you've fallen over it, especially 109 00:05:30,213 --> 00:05:32,493 Speaker 2: if you're not There's no way that you can kind 110 00:05:32,533 --> 00:05:35,213 Speaker 2: of recover your sense of dignity fully, is it? 111 00:05:35,413 --> 00:05:36,293 Speaker 3: For everyone who's watched. 112 00:05:36,293 --> 00:05:38,653 Speaker 2: It doesn't matter if you're a recognizable figure or otherwise. 113 00:05:38,693 --> 00:05:39,893 Speaker 3: It just there's no sort. 114 00:05:39,733 --> 00:05:44,053 Speaker 2: Of the human you know, the human spirit hasn't found 115 00:05:44,053 --> 00:05:46,773 Speaker 2: a way to recover from that moment. I don't know 116 00:05:46,773 --> 00:05:48,813 Speaker 2: if you saw it, Kevin, but with that space rocket 117 00:05:48,853 --> 00:05:50,853 Speaker 2: that they sent up with the pop stars and things 118 00:05:50,893 --> 00:05:53,653 Speaker 2: the other day, when it came back down to earth, 119 00:05:54,933 --> 00:05:57,653 Speaker 2: Jeff Bezos, given it was his company, he was the 120 00:05:57,693 --> 00:06:01,693 Speaker 2: first to go and greet the passengers after their eleven 121 00:06:01,813 --> 00:06:04,653 Speaker 2: minute journey. So the rocket came back down to Earth 122 00:06:05,853 --> 00:06:08,733 Speaker 2: and he ran over in the middle of the desert 123 00:06:08,853 --> 00:06:11,253 Speaker 2: to go and open the capsule door. And as he 124 00:06:11,373 --> 00:06:13,973 Speaker 2: arrived there, knowing that his fiance was the first person 125 00:06:13,973 --> 00:06:16,373 Speaker 2: who was going to be stepping out and presumably thanking 126 00:06:16,413 --> 00:06:18,893 Speaker 2: and congratulating him for this amazing bit of technology and 127 00:06:18,893 --> 00:06:20,693 Speaker 2: this incredible experience. 128 00:06:20,613 --> 00:06:22,253 Speaker 3: As he ran over to the capsule. 129 00:06:22,773 --> 00:06:25,013 Speaker 2: As he pulled up to it, he did a massive 130 00:06:25,053 --> 00:06:27,853 Speaker 2: face plant, just fell over right east to the capture. 131 00:06:28,573 --> 00:06:31,133 Speaker 3: And of course you got the whole world's media watching. 132 00:06:30,773 --> 00:06:37,093 Speaker 4: You know, and maybe that's what gave Katie Perry the idea. Yes, yes, 133 00:06:37,893 --> 00:06:39,453 Speaker 4: fell to the ground because. 134 00:06:39,693 --> 00:06:41,093 Speaker 3: She was trying to empathize with him. 135 00:06:41,133 --> 00:06:43,253 Speaker 4: Perhaps, Yes, that's right. 136 00:06:43,533 --> 00:06:46,693 Speaker 2: Yeah, you enjoy your enjoy your Easter weekend, and we 137 00:06:46,733 --> 00:06:48,373 Speaker 2: will catch you so.
