Speaker 1: Who can sleep in that lake as a grown up?
Speaker 7: It's so good.
Speaker 6: Everyone goes to bed, and then I've got the whole
Speaker 6: TV to myself, which I don't normally have because I
Speaker 6: go to bed at like seven thirty eight.

Speaker 2: our generation, not.
Speaker 5: Brill It's been so lovely just to fall out of routine.
Speaker 5: It's been wonderful.

Speaker 2: project hell.
Speaker 1: Mary, Yes, it's fantastic.
Speaker 2: Guys, Go and see at the cinema. That is a
Speaker 2: proper old fashion Go and see at the cinema. It's
Speaker 2: a feel good movie. It's just what the world needs
Speaker 2: right now. They're even extending it for a longer run
Speaker 2: in cinemas around the world before it goes to streaming,
Speaker 2: so if you're waiting to watch it at home, you
Speaker 2: we waiting for another couple of months. It is fantastic.
Speaker 2: It is so good, Alex. I think that's one of
Speaker 2: the most enjoyable movies I've seen for years.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I describe it as interstillar Mates, Guardians of the Galaxy.
Speaker 1: It's somewhere in between. It's that kind of space.
Speaker 2: Fun space gen this winter in Australia, anyone out for
Speaker 2: space fun.
Speaker 1: I've been describing it, Alex.
Speaker 2: It's because it's hard to describe, is it because I'm
Speaker 2: not We only went to see it because my wife's
Speaker 2: I've read the.
Speaker 1: Books and I hope they stray, they stay faithful.
Speaker 2: To the books, and my wife is a massive sci
Speaker 2: fi fan. So on holiday we went to see it
Speaker 2: to keep my wife happy, and then I left having
Speaker 2: cried and enjoyed it the most. Oh my god, it's
Speaker 2: so good. I've been describing it as et for grown ups.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Put down the posters, guys, Gosh, you can have that
Speaker 2: space fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, grown ups, it's it's brilliant. I tell you what.
Speaker 2: Ryan Gosling is just about the most effortlessly cool, funny
Speaker 2: and he can do series as well, like Blade Runner.
Speaker 2: It's a fantastic movie. One you really need to see
Speaker 2: it the summer.
Speaker 9: Yeah, he gets he doesn't get the pundits he deserves
Speaker 9: because he's attractive. Yeah, and I think people underrate how
Speaker 9: good of an actor he is because he's hot.
Speaker 7: But he's actually a very very good.
Speaker 2: App But what they've done this time in space, because
Speaker 2: he's going through some tough times up there, it's just
Speaker 2: him and the crap that he befriends is and I've
Speaker 2: changed my vision board as well. For the rest of
Speaker 2: my life. I want to now live in space forever
Speaker 2: with Ryan Gosling. You know, when you really get actually
Speaker 2: what you want from your life. I'm like, God, damn
Speaker 2: it that it was there all along, Me and Gosling,
Speaker 2: just together.
Speaker 1: Just us, just us wake up to Ryan every morning.
Speaker 1: Yes that's right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, it's you'll be glad you went to
Speaker 2: see it in a cinema. You cannot regum enough. And
Speaker 2: I think also what's happened is it's created this hue
Speaker 2: thing appreciation of space because Artemius too. Now, i know
Speaker 2: this happened a week ago, but I'm gonna play a
Speaker 2: song when we come back. I've got I'm really enjoyed
Speaker 2: watching the whole crew up there, the four of them
Speaker 2: thrown at the moon. It looked like set on fire.
Speaker 2: And now, after everything they mean through for like ten
Speaker 2: eleven days, was the only way they could get them
Speaker 2: out of that little tin can to drag them out,
Speaker 2: put them on a winch and chop of them across
Speaker 2: an ocean, dangling there, dangling there, undignified. Why couldn't they
Speaker 2: put them in any of the nineteen boats?
Speaker 1: The floatilla that was around them.
Speaker 7: Just sort of swinging in the breeze, taking.
Speaker 1: A cup of champagnes, getting them onto the boats.
Speaker 4: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: Pat's gone back to bed, keeping on today, always keeping
Speaker 2: on her, but today especially so. Who else then found
Speaker 2: themselves getting heavily involved with the whole mission with those
Speaker 2: four amazing I've never seen astronauts and the NASA did
Speaker 2: a great thing with the Artemis two mission. They showed
Speaker 2: us more than we normally see, you know, the deal
Speaker 2: they did with Netflix, and even just how they shared everything.
Speaker 2: We've never had so much access to all of it. Okay,
Speaker 2: And and what sorts of different sign of them is
Speaker 2: more as human beings. Not there's these incredible engineers and
Speaker 2: high performers. They are really got to do something like that.
Speaker 2: And so the more you saw of what they were
Speaker 2: doing up there, and their personalities and just what good,
Speaker 2: decent kind souls they were. The bit where one of
Speaker 2: the guys who's a single dad, they they surprised them
Speaker 2: by aiming one of the creators after his late wife
Speaker 2: who died six years ago.
Speaker 1: Was that watching a movie? Yeah, And they were the
Speaker 1: best of us up there, weren't they?
Speaker 2: So did no one else find themselves surprisingly addicted to
Speaker 2: watching just whatever they were up to? Is that Big Brother? Yes,
Speaker 2: that's early days when it was really interesting. Just nothing's
Speaker 2: going on, but you just check it in or what
Speaker 2: are the.
Speaker 1: Floating right now? Some are out there in deep deep space.
Speaker 2: It was just it was mesmerizing. Was I'm trying to
Speaker 2: work out, Padi, why do you think it just appealed.
Speaker 1: To so much?
Speaker 5: I think you're right.
Speaker 6: I think the access to them, we all felt like
Speaker 6: we're so invested in this trip, I think and it
Speaker 6: was just it's been so long. It's been like, is
Speaker 6: it fifty years or something since we've had such a
Speaker 6: massive mission. But it was just you couldn't take your
Speaker 6: eyes off the screen and they were you know, there's
Speaker 6: very few news stories across the ages where you actually
Speaker 6: stop what you're doing and just want to watch it
Speaker 6: on the telly or listen to it on the radio,
Speaker 6: and this was one of them. Like coming back coming
Speaker 6: back to Earth and lashdown and it's like we were
Speaker 6: meant to go out and meet friends. It's like, hang on, no,
Speaker 6: you need to tell them that we're going to be late,
Speaker 6: because we just couldn't tear ourselves away. It was absolutely
Speaker 6: fascinating to think that they can put four people in
Speaker 6: a ship and go to the moon, and the pictures
Speaker 6: were so engry.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the thing we all we ever see
Speaker 2: is that sort of almost just the black and white
Speaker 2: images of the moon, don't you And then he sort's
Speaker 2: got all this color and contrast to it. It's completely
Speaker 2: not what we thought.
Speaker 6: It was amazing and we had also just seen Hail
Speaker 6: Mary and so it was it just was perfect timing.
Speaker 6: It was just like a whole new fascination and you know,
Speaker 6: seeing Audrey take it all in as well. It was
Speaker 6: just amazing that we can actually put people up there
Speaker 6: and do what we've done.
Speaker 2: I think also it was a welcome relief from the
Speaker 2: other news story. Definitely, it showed us something else that
Speaker 2: there's still good people and it wasn't just a four
Speaker 2: of them in that tiny little tin can.
Speaker 1: That's what looked like to me. You know, when they
Speaker 1: landed and they're like, God, that's been nice of them.
Speaker 1: That sure is.
Speaker 2: Actually it was just a welcome relief, and it wasn't
Speaker 2: just them, It was all the ground crew that was
Speaker 2: so invested. You know, it takes a lot of the
Speaker 2: ground crew there, but there was an old guy, Richard,
Speaker 2: who was doing the narration for a lot of it
Speaker 2: as well. He's done about eleven NASA missions over the years.
Speaker 2: You've seen on there so many times. And also thought
Speaker 2: what was great was at the end a couple of
Speaker 2: days later, they all got up and spoke the four
Speaker 2: mission specialists. This is a bit of Jeremy Mission specialist
Speaker 2: Jeremy Hanson, what he had to say. Have you listened
Speaker 2: to this, It's incredible.
Speaker 10: We have a term in our crew that we coined
Speaker 10: a long time ago. The Joy train sounds like I
Speaker 10: saw a lot of joy up there. We're not always
Speaker 10: on the joy.
Speaker 4: Training this crew.
Speaker 10: There are many times we're not on the joy training,
Speaker 10: but we are committed to getting back on the Joy
Speaker 10: train as soon as we can. And that is a
Speaker 10: useful lay skill for any team trying to get something done.
Speaker 1: The last one is love.
Speaker 10: What you saw was a group of people who loved contributing,
Speaker 10: having meaningful contribution. What we've been hearing is that was
Speaker 10: something special for you to witness. The reason I had
Speaker 10: them form up here with me is because I would
Speaker 10: suggest to you that when you look up here, you're
Speaker 10: not looking at us. We are a mirror reflecting you,
Speaker 10: and if you like what you see, then just look
Speaker 10: a little deeper.
Speaker 1: This is you so much in a movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it felt out the Secrets approach at Hell. Mary, Yes,
Speaker 2: just sort of speak that well after going through an
Speaker 2: incredible ordeal like that. And then this is Christina Cook
Speaker 2: what she had to say as well.
Speaker 11: What makes a crew a crew is people that is
Speaker 11: in it all the time, no matter what, that is
Speaker 11: stroking together every minute with the same purpose, that is
Speaker 11: willing to sacrifice silently for each other, that gives grace,
Speaker 11: that holds accountable. A crew has the same cares and
Speaker 11: the same needs. A crew is inescapably, beautifully, beautifully linked
Speaker 11: planet Earth. You are a crew.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 2: I found listening to them afterwards they were more like
Speaker 2: philosophers than astronaut's. Actually, it was extraordinary. The other thing
Speaker 2: that blew my mind is they're all middle aged. There's
Speaker 2: two forty seven year olds and two fifty year olds.
Speaker 2: This is hope for all of us middle aged people.
Speaker 2: Actually got my pedoton at four am this morning, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, I reckon, I'm only a couple more pedals
Speaker 2: away from getting into space and seeing my beloved moon.
Speaker 4: Christian Color Show podcast.
Speaker 2: Good morning to Amanda Armstrong, Christian artemist too. My I
Speaker 2: didn't know and in a space geek came out. I
Speaker 2: think it came out in all of us, and the
Speaker 2: NASA YouTube live stream was on twenty four to seven
Speaker 2: in my house. I didn't realize how much I became
Speaker 2: in vested in. It was amazing. All right, we do
Speaker 2: a thing every Monday on the show. We called it

Speaker 2: talk to you about, producercating. I made a big mistake Friday.
Speaker 2: I came back into work. They trapped me. They said,
Speaker 2: come into our work for half an hour. We just
Speaker 2: need to talk about a few things. I left after
Speaker 2: three and.
Speaker 1: A half hours. Oh no, no, no, I tell you
Speaker 1: what was hard. Rea.
Speaker 2: I have a safe space here, and I hope everyone
Speaker 2: does in their workspace. I've called it the treehouse the company.
Speaker 2: Years ago, I said, could I just have a small
Speaker 2: office is somewhere from and the team to meet and
Speaker 2: where we could just hide away. And they were kind
Speaker 2: enough to give us a little space. They hidden. It
Speaker 2: is a hidden room. People don't know it's even there.
Speaker 2: They see the door open sometimes and me come out
Speaker 2: of it. People, I thought there was a storage room.
Speaker 2: That is that's the treehouse.
Speaker 1: Yea.
Speaker 2: And anyway, we've got new bosses and if you google them,
Speaker 2: been busy over the last couple of months. But anyhow's
Speaker 2: he the new bosses saw the conditions of my secret room. Okay,
Speaker 2: And it's got a very it's got two old fake
Speaker 2: leather couches that every time you get off them half
Speaker 2: the planet sticks to yes. But I'm just kind of
Speaker 2: used to that. It suits me.
Speaker 1: Anyway.
Speaker 2: They say, hey, we're going to give you a small budget.
Speaker 2: Let's let's get you some better furniture in here. I
Speaker 2: was our house.
Speaker 1: Very kind of you.
Speaker 2: I never heard anything about it until they ask one
Speaker 2: of our team. He I said, hey, by the way,
Speaker 2: I was meant to get some allocation to pick out
Speaker 2: furniture for when I come back after East. Oh, but
Speaker 2: just a Caitlance organized all of it. And well, that's
Speaker 2: nice of her. She doesn't want to bother me with
Speaker 2: stuff like that. She's got a good start. And then
Speaker 2: I came in Friday too. In fact, Patsy, can you
Speaker 2: walk to the treehouse right now and then come back.
Speaker 2: I'll carry on talking. You need to see the horror
Speaker 2: of what that is?
Speaker 4: Really?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, it is.
Speaker 2: I rang Rio yesterday and just to catch out and
Speaker 2: talk about the show. But half the call was before
Speaker 2: the show. Rio, go and see what's happened in the treehouse.
Speaker 9: It was the first thing I did when I It
Speaker 9: looks like the before you know, like a home renovation show.
Speaker 9: It looks like the before shot instead of the after shot.
Speaker 9: But it's actually the after shot.
Speaker 2: It's the after shot. And it's also like a cheap
Speaker 2: therapist's office. Let's just talk about the world's most uncomfortable couch.
Speaker 2: A tiny, tiny two seater that's more like a love bench,
Speaker 2: and then a random one seater. So now the team
Speaker 2: when they come in and we have meetings in there,
Speaker 2: hardly any of you can sit down.
Speaker 9: No, there's about seven or eight of us, yes, three,
Speaker 9: and it's it's a concrete slash.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I didn't know they made couches.
Speaker 1: So then they'd have a max security supermax prison.
Speaker 2: In America in solitary confinement, caramel covered and then a
Speaker 2: rug which is completely unrelated to random dark puce.
Speaker 9: It's green rug, horrible, horrible green, like almost what have
Speaker 9: you done.
Speaker 1: To the treehouse?
Speaker 14: Okay, I was only given two thousand dollars to read.
Speaker 3: Couches are a lot of money. These ones are on sale.
Speaker 1: For nine one shell.
Speaker 14: I thought we would just get a couple of couches,
Speaker 14: now I did.
Speaker 2: Actually, well, there's only one. There's a one tiny love
Speaker 2: bench and then a one seater.
Speaker 3: I requested its three ster and a two seater, so.
Speaker 1: I got one. I tell you what happened.
Speaker 2: I reckon, you got ripped off and that wrestlant money
Speaker 2: is what you've used in Vietnam to get your clothes
Speaker 2: washed like that?
Speaker 6: Okay, on back pats, Well, it's actually literally taken my
Speaker 6: breath away.
Speaker 5: It's like a stick.
Speaker 6: When I walked, I went, oh my god, it's like
Speaker 6: a set of madmen.
Speaker 1: Yes, only I'm not Don Draper.
Speaker 6: It is this baby poo colored leather. Just just a
Speaker 6: two seater and just a one seater. We couldn't afford
Speaker 6: the other one's theater and there's two cushion.
Speaker 1: Cushions, two cushions, it's just two empty backs. It's the khaki.
Speaker 6: Green with the tang and a horrible round green mess.
Speaker 2: It looks like a mad bogan has got into interiors. Well,
Speaker 2: well that's what's happened here.
Speaker 7: There's a lamp with no globe.
Speaker 5: Yep, you're incomplete, I would say.
Speaker 3: I So I ordered all of this before.
Speaker 2: I left to go on Ready Rushing Together out in Vietnam,
Speaker 2: and it.
Speaker 14: Was delayed in delivery, so I didn't have enough time
Speaker 14: to get in there and make.
Speaker 7: It all up.
Speaker 2: That's not the issue. I'm happy to make it up.
Speaker 2: It's the measurements. It's tiny furniture, and actually half the
Speaker 2: team can't get in there. Locke and I were sat
Speaker 2: on that love seat together and our knees and thighs
Speaker 2: were rubbing together. We're now moving in together.
Speaker 7: I've lost my wife.
Speaker 2: That is not I tell you what. I can't have
Speaker 2: another team I but sat on that two seat to
Speaker 2: couch with me. It's not a work safe environment. I'm
Speaker 2: sorry my fight could accident encroach on somebody, our team members.
Speaker 1: It's not it's not something needs to change.
Speaker 2: It is your biggest priority this week on the show
Speaker 2: is fixing what you've almost I was about to swear
Speaker 2: fixing that.
Speaker 4: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: Christian, I got four kids. We have a system for
Speaker 2: working out whose clues are who's. We put permanent market
Speaker 2: dots on clothing tags so anyone can sort the washing
Speaker 2: out no excuses. One dot for the eldest, two dot
Speaker 2: for next, three for next.
Speaker 1: I love the system. I am not a dots Christian.
Speaker 1: If clothes get handed down to a sibling, we add
Speaker 1: the dot. You've got it. Now, this high level adulting.
Speaker 1: Best thing I've did. Congratulations, that's great. So we, I
Speaker 1: mean the team.
Speaker 2: We've all been on our Easter break only had a
Speaker 2: lovely Easter break as well, me me a family.
Speaker 1: We all went away, which.
Speaker 2: Is always quite a rare treat now because our daughters
Speaker 2: don't live at home anymore, so we're all together for
Speaker 2: a week. We hired a place in the airbnb up
Speaker 2: in a magical place for Australia called Nooseville. Never been
Speaker 2: there before. It was fantastic. However, when you hire a
Speaker 2: holiday rental Airbnb whatever, they always are wherever you are
Speaker 2: in the world. They're always the same right, only give
Speaker 2: you that one dishwasher ta for eight days, you get
Speaker 2: eight days worth of money from me. You think we're
Speaker 2: only going to have a couple of plates, family in
Speaker 2: four just one er into that, but loved dishwasher. And
Speaker 2: also they only have like either one wine glass or
Speaker 2: sixty two.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, none of them, that's true.
Speaker 2: YEA two new roles where you're like, guys, take it easy, polease,
Speaker 2: do you.
Speaker 1: Really need to use it? It's got two to get
Speaker 1: through eight days. Four of us walk into the sea
Speaker 1: and rinch yourself. Do not use this.
Speaker 7: We can't spare a single don't wrap it around like.
Speaker 1: An oven mat.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's all they've left us is wear maroons. And
Speaker 2: there's no shops nearby where we just get more of
Speaker 2: the stuff. But this morning, want to talk about what
Speaker 2: is always in every single holiday rental mbab. There's always
Speaker 2: the mysterious locked cupboard, isn't there? Yes, several of them.
Speaker 7: We had a mysterious loss.
Speaker 1: Is not the first thing you always do, Just give
Speaker 1: it a rattle. I don't know what I always do.
Speaker 1: It's the first thing I go and just give it
Speaker 1: a little rattle.
Speaker 9: We had one I was on a family trip to
Speaker 9: Tazzy over the Easter break, and.
Speaker 7: We had a locked cupboard.
Speaker 9: We ran out of olive oil because they only give
Speaker 9: you this tiny, little more amount because God forbid you
Speaker 9: actually are able to cook something there. And so Mum goes, oh,
Speaker 9: I reckon, they'll have some in this cupboard.
Speaker 7: And we're like, whoa, you're not.
Speaker 9: You're not supposed to go into that cupboard that's locked
Speaker 9: for reason, and she pulls.
Speaker 7: Out her bobby pin. Because mum very street smart, she
Speaker 7: undid the lock to the locked bobby pin open.
Speaker 9: There was thus like it was like ninety It had
Speaker 9: everything you possibly dream of. We had gallons of olive oil,
Speaker 9: toilet paper, sold, pepper, condiments, jam, everything you could ever need.
Speaker 9: Everything that gets rationed out into one little supply get.
Speaker 1: Did you get extras of everything? Yes?
Speaker 7: And we had opened the whole week.
Speaker 1: Rollers you want.
Speaker 7: We were living like kings. It was incredible.
Speaker 1: You get a dish tablet, you get a we.
Speaker 7: Did three cycle stop.
Speaker 2: That is high level limit parats. What do you think
Speaker 2: is always in every holiday rental?
Speaker 6: Definitely, there's always a Holy Bible in like the master
Speaker 6: bedroom drum.
Speaker 1: Ever seen that in hotels? Yeah?
Speaker 2: The B and B staying in a church in church
Speaker 2: reading before You Go Classic Gideon.
Speaker 6: Then another place we stayed at had the oldest vegimi.
Speaker 6: It was about fifteen years.
Speaker 7: Out of date.
Speaker 5: Old Vegimily it never goes out of date.
Speaker 2: I think a lot of Australiers presume it doesn't go
Speaker 2: out of date. Somehow, the yeast yeast, you can't go
Speaker 2: off year.
Speaker 7: She's like molasses.
Speaker 5: We threw it out.
Speaker 6: And then there's always the board games where there's like
Speaker 6: a puzzle with two bits missing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my god, that's so true. Pats, Yes, yep.
Speaker 6: Or I remember remember we tried to play a game
Speaker 6: of mouse once and the actual mouse trap or mouse.
Speaker 2: Trouse around the team going a little game.
Speaker 1: I love think she meant with a live.
Speaker 2: Mouse mouse if we can have it for dinner, you
Speaker 2: put it on the jefful toaster.
Speaker 6: Anyway, the red mouse that was actually missing. It was
Speaker 6: the quickest board game play.
Speaker 9: It's it's the most unsatisfying game mouse Trap, because it
Speaker 9: all builds up to and then instead of being like
Speaker 9: this dramatic, it just slowly goes like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how many children were devastated on Christmas Day?
Speaker 1: This is it? Three hours it's almost like a metaphor
Speaker 1: of life.
Speaker 4: This is it Christian Color Show podcast.
Speaker 2: One thing I've learned over my is to break Picnics
Speaker 2: don't really work to they.
Speaker 7: Just as a concept.
Speaker 2: Go on, just wait, the family organized one for my birthday,
Speaker 2: bless them. That's actually really nice. And then you know,
Speaker 2: you get the rug out. You're on the ground. It's
Speaker 2: not trying to get comfortable. No one's comfortable. You're shifting around,
Speaker 2: you're not comfortable. And then the flies start eating your
Speaker 2: food and stuff like that, and everyone's slightly irritable, and
Speaker 2: you're thinking, picnics don't work for reason, and also, you know,
Speaker 2: just cross the nice restaurants. He thought, you know what
Speaker 2: dad would like. He does it eat on the ground.
Speaker 7: And you can't ever like.
Speaker 9: Put any food together or anything because it's hard. Nothing's
Speaker 9: like cut, nothing's level. You've got sticks under your butt?
Speaker 7: Awful?
Speaker 1: Can you just cover that? Can you just cut? Can
Speaker 1: I just who's put the knife in here?
Speaker 2: The idea of it is so much better idea reality
Speaker 2: your reality.
Speaker 7: Same with kayaking.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you very much.
Speaker 2: Sure the messages were getting at the moment, people saying
Speaker 2: what are you always seeing every single holiday? Rental where
Speaker 2: it's in airbnb rend towels like sampaper was zero absorbency.
Speaker 2: You're right, those real old fashion ones.
Speaker 1: Aren't they all the size of two towels?
Speaker 7: Like they're really small.
Speaker 1: It's another thing.
Speaker 2: They're always a set. People have set rolls, don't they.
Speaker 2: When you all to camp into a brand new holiday rental,
Speaker 2: I will go and rattle those locked doors. My wife
Speaker 2: will go counting the towels.
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, because girls, girls, how many of you on
Speaker 1: your om? Okay, Chris, we've got two here.

Speaker 9: this is just like they built by around. It was
Speaker 9: just this one woman and a backup singer and then
Speaker 9: I sort of recognized her and they're like, oh, maybe
Speaker 9: the rest of the band comes out, maybe a few
Speaker 9: songs later, they get through more more of their set,
Speaker 9: and it's very clear that it's just.
Speaker 7: The one member.

Speaker 2: to see you too.
Speaker 13: That's correct. Yeah, back in about ninety three summer at

Speaker 13: character as Macfisto, which is pretty weird. Anyway.
Speaker 1: That was the one with the horns and the gold jacket.
Speaker 13: Yes, it was calling the post yess it called Dame
Speaker 13: the Everage. At one stage, just have a chat on stage.
Speaker 1: Everything Ben is saying, this is what mcphisto was.
Speaker 2: What what? What's like a play on the devil. It's
Speaker 2: hard to explain.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: It felt like, okay, that's who he's a He's not
Speaker 2: the fly anymore.
Speaker 1: He's mcphisto. Yeah.
Speaker 13: But anyway, the bass player Adam, who was real ladies man,
Speaker 13: just happened not to be on stage that night. He said,
Speaker 13: such a binder in Sydney on Friday night two hungover,
Speaker 13: I couldn't make the stage, so that the bass technician
Speaker 13: rocked up and pretended to be Adam, and Evermon's going,
Speaker 13: that's not Adam. But anyway, he put on a great show.
Speaker 2: I saw one a few times where you two played
Speaker 2: and it wasn't the actual lineup, that's.
Speaker 13: Right, Yes, one of the thousand apparently something like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ben, thank you very much his story. Did you
Speaker 2: enjoy the show though?

Speaker 2: Great to be back actually, and Paul, I've had a
Speaker 2: lovely Easter break as well, Paul. Not the original lineup?
Speaker 2: What was the band?
Speaker 12: I went to see the Animals but the English group
Speaker 12: the Animals from the sixties and stuff and half of
Speaker 12: the Rising Sun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, big big band back in the day.
Speaker 12: Yeah, they brought out some great music. But where it
Speaker 12: was advertised to have the original singer Richard Burton and
Speaker 12: all the band members, and when we went to see
Speaker 12: the show, the only original band member was the drummer.
Speaker 1: I think he's some guy called Mick. But he's not
Speaker 1: he's not He's not the animals, He's just he's just
Speaker 1: the drums.
Speaker 12: The lad singer was like in his late thirties. He
Speaker 12: wasn't wouldn't have even been born. They put on a
Speaker 12: great show when the drama stood there and spoke for
Speaker 12: ten minutes telling us about a gig they played with
Speaker 12: Mick Jagger and stuff. But he was the only original
Speaker 12: band member.
Speaker 1: I love it. This is fantastic.
Speaker 2: One of the animals, at least animals the night on
Speaker 2: stage an animal.
Speaker 12: Advertising with Richard Burton. But they should have said with
Speaker 12: the original drama child but not what we were expecting.

Speaker 2: story mate, have a good day too. No, you don't
Speaker 2: need to go to Google. The lead singer of the

Speaker 2: greenhouse where we lived out on the sticks, where my
Speaker 2: parents came to visit. I probably showed Dad all the plows,
Speaker 2: which I thought were tomatoes. You think tomatoes, I thought
Speaker 2: broccoli greens. Dad said the leaves looked unusual but healthy.
Speaker 2: Later when my husband got home, I said to him,
Speaker 2: I showed my dad your greenhouse. He went sheet white.
Speaker 2: Eventually admitted those old bloody tomatoes and marijuana.
Speaker 1: A friend brackets.
Speaker 2: A friend asked him to grow them. Patsy's husband, Chris
Speaker 2: or magazines a friend the older kid made me do it. Yeah, yeah,
