1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: Job mission with Jonesy and Amanda. Officials have blamed a

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: gender reveal party for a wildfire raging in California.

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 2: It was a smoke generating pyrotechnic device, they say that

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 2: sparked a fire. They having extraordinary heat waves, the hardest

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,319
Speaker 2: temperatures ever recorded in their existence, forty nine point four

6
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: degrees celsius in Los Angeles. But this fire spread over

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 2: eight thousand hectares. More than five hundred personnel were deployed

8
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: to fight at sixty engines four helicopters for a gender

9
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 2: reveal party.

10
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: And that's the subject of our pop tests this morning.

11
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: Let's get on down to the Jonesy demand of arms

12
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 1: gender reveal parties. Do they passed the pub te.

13
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 2: You know, the woman who came up with gender reveal parties,

14
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: So she has major mixed feelings about it. Really, she

15
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: said that it's generated a very aggressive energy to keep

16
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 2: up with this ritual. It's not just the environmental recklessness,

17
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 2: she said, it's the expensive and dangerous stunts. It's people

18
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: being so caught up in the sex of the fetus.

19
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: There is an aggression to this ritual. Now old Days

20
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 2: got pregnant, had a baby, got on with life.

21
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: There you go. That's what we did when our eldest

22
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: was born, and we had no idea what he was

23
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: going to be when he came out.

24
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 2: No, but I think even if you do want to

25
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: find out what the sex is, this these perverse rituals

26
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 2: taking on a life of their own. There have been

27
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: many cases recent all the couple of cases of fires

28
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: being started. Last year, a plane stalled and crashed, crop

29
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: dusting a Texas field with gallons of pink water to

30
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 2: reveal that the baby was a girl. A video went

31
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 2: viral in the US a couple using an alligator to

32
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: announce the sex of their baby, their tenth child between

33
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: them so they'd run out of ideas. The father tied

34
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: a balloon to a stick, bopped the alligator on the

35
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: head until it lashed out and bit the balloon and

36
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 2: pink dust blew.

37
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: Everywhere in America.

38
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, have you been to a gender romo party?

39
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: Do you know anyone who has?

40
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: People are doing it, young people do.

41
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: It's because it's an Instagram event.

42
00:01:58,360 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: It's here.

43
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: Your life isn't real until you say so on Instagram.

44
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: And I kind of smile along to it, and and

45
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: you think where's the harm? I think where's the harm?

46
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: I'm a bit amused by it because, as I said,

47
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: back in our day, we just had the kid. You

48
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: just had the kid and that was it.

49
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 2: Now you have people around Corona, social distancing friendly, hopefully

50
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 2: to celebrate the reveal of the gender. Then you celebrate

51
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: presumably the birth. Then there's a christening. It's it's added

52
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 2: to the list of stuff.

53
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: But then maybe it's a good way to have a

54
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: bit of a celebration. You know, we live in tough times.

55
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a nice thing to have a little baby

56
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: coming to the world. Maybe I'm just an old commundion.

57
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: The baby's going to come into the world. Whether you

58
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 2: celebrateed sex or not.

59
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: Yes, you know, I don't know.

60
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: We didn't We didn't find out whether we were having

61
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: boys or girls.

62
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: I know when the stork arrived with a little baby,

63
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: you were there, you go.

64
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: I'm still unsure with one. But what do you think

65
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 2: gender reveal parties do. I passed the pub test, just

66
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 2: going through.

67
00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: And unfortunately my vaie.

68
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: Needn't passed away.

69
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: So I just believed in having a healthy value. No,

70
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: not at all. I think the biggest bogan thing going

71
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: you know, people go to be polite. You know, there's

72
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: usually two pain that pull that have met. James says

73
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: on water High and its system being blong to me,

74
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: it doesn't pass above this at all.

75
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: I don't think they do.

76
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: I've got a trans kid, so I think that you know,

77
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: you never know what you're going to get through you

78
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: life is like a box chop.

79
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 2: Sure is sure With James and Amanda,
