Speaker 1: it off the top of my head, but yeah, you know.

23
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: Or something. Yeah, really, so that's a real thing. Balloon fear.

28
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 2: swooping up at you.

29
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: On your book, it's called globophobia Global balloons. There you go.

30
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: You could chuck that in on you know, have you

31
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 1: been paying attention with you? Because I think it only

32
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: lasted an episode and a half. It was I mean

33
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,199
Speaker 1: that Doug mulray episode that Packer took off air lasted

34
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: longer than that.

35
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: Well, that was the one I remember years ago I

36
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 2: did a radio show called Get This. We were cataloging

37
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: which were the shows on TV that had been at

38
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: the soonest because I was on the Big Bloy show

39
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 2: that win. There went eight episodes, which was quite a lot.

40
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: But then when you went down it was like remember

41
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: Ben Elton's Live from Planet Earth the three And then

42
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: you went down there was one that only I think

43
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: Mark Mitchell had a show that only went two. But

44
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 2: then you get all the way down to Doug mull

45
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: Ray's an authist home video show that didn't even get

46
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: one off air before it finished. Yeah.

47
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 3: No, and Kerry Packer was obsessed with TV somber those

48
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: were the days.

49
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 2: I don't know. You know, obviously you'd have to have

50
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 2: much Only older listeners will know what we're talking about.

51
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: It was an extra. It was like a blue episode

52
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 2: is the funniest home video show. And I remember we

53
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 2: were watching it in Melbourne and it just went to

54
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 2: an ad break and then when the at break came back,

55
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: an episode of Cheers was on the scribe. No one

56
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 2: was walking into the bar, but apparently we did. On

57
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 2: our show, we asked people in every state to call

58
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: up and say when did it get ripped off here

59
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: in your state? Because it was one. I think it

60
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: was people in like Perth who called it and said,

61
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,839
Speaker 2: I a child was reaching for some kangaroo's genitals when

62
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,559
Speaker 2: it suddenly went to black.

63
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: Fantastic. You know you mentioned to Get This and did

64
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: you do you miss radio at all?

65
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 3: Well?

66
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 2: I did. I just spent the last seven years being

67
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 2: doing a weekly drop in and what was great about

68
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: that was I was just a guest every week, so

69
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 2: I never had to go to any meetings after the show. Yeah,

70
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: because Get This was a hugely popular show. It was

71
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: a national show, but the management just didn't understand anything

72
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 2: we were doing. So after every show it to be.

73
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: Why did you guys talk about Stevens say goal for

74
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:40,920
