1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 2: Well, at least it's a bit less windy than yesterday.

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 2: My headge at home got blown away because of the wind.

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 2: And I was crossing the Harbor Bridge yesterday. I looked

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: up on a motorbike. I looked up at this and

6
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 2: the flags were at half mast, and I thought, well,

7
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 2: who died? Someone must have died. But then I realized

8
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 2: possibly because of the wind they dropped the flags to

9
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: half mast because those flags on the Harbor Bridge are

10
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: about eight meters long, so they're as big as a bus.

11
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: Well, I've also been wondering about then.

12
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 2: I thought it might have been for fat Man Scoop,

13
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 2: I thought, as he resonated that homage.

14
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: But do people still do bridge climb in this in

15
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 1: the big winds? Emily, who's one of our producers, used

16
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: to work with bridge climb.

17
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 3: Yes, or we call her Banuna.

18
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: I don't call her Banunu. That's your stupid name for Emily,

19
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: it is stupid. And so on days like this, what

20
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: happens up the top? How windy does it get? And

21
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: can you still go up?

22
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 3: It can get very windy. We'll do it in different categories.

23
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 4: Of how strong and soci dained the winds are so

24
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 4: today we would definitely go up if the gusts were

25
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 4: about seventy k's and above.

26
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 3: We stopped for periods like.

27
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: If hanging upside down, like at Seawool.

28
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, just buy our cords. Yeah. So I've been up

29
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 3: there on one hundred k wins. What's that feel like?

30
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 3: I put my whole body weight into it. I made

31
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 3: the most of the moment.

32
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 1: But people anxious because a lot of people at the height,

33
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: let alone being buffeted.

34
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 4: So we just stop until it passes, and then if

35
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 4: it doesn't pass, we reroute and go back down.

36
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 3: So you don't go higher up into the winds.

37
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 2: We're strapped on.

38
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 3: You're always strapped on, locked.

39
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: And lot, just with one cord.

40
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, but it can hold famously two camels. So yeah.

41
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 3: I was taking photos up there.

42
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 4: When it hit one hundred k's and there was a

43
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 4: dad with his two kids, and I said, anyway, three

44
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 4: two one, windy, and he just grabbed the two girls

45
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 4: and he went, sorry, mate, we're going down.

46
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 3: And he just came and sat on the bridge until

47
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 3: the wind passed, and then we continued on.

48
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: So right, because you feel yourself getting buffet don't you.

49
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's an intense feeling, but you know, some of

50
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 4: them last five minutes and then you can just keep

51
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 4: going right.

52
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: But you can see what people would freak out. Because

53
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: you're so used to climbing that height. It would be

54
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: no big dealty, but a lot of people the height

55
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: and the buffeting would really know what she do?

56
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 3: Was she to do a bit of a team bridge crime.

57
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: I haven't done one since about two thousand and I

58
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: don't know three when I first started it.

59
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 3: Can you hook us up with some Yeah, you'd have

60
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 3: to listen to me for three hours?

61
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 2: Though, what do you say? This is the bridge?

62
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, a bit more than that, but mainly that.

63
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. Remember I was working on the radio station and

64
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: just before the Olympics of the day of the torch

65
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: is being carried across the Olympics across the bridge, and

66
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: a couple of the team, one of the producers and

67
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: a couple of the text couldn't go up because you

68
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: get breathalyzed.

69
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, first thing in the morning.

70
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: A couple of them didn't make it.

71
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 3: I have had a story like that.

72
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 2: You could take a breath alyser into Triple M right

73
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: now and half the team wouldn't They your pass fail.

74
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,080
Speaker 3: Well, Emily, thank you, thank you.

75
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: Good only and the flags, the flags weren't there when

76
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: you probably did your climbing, and the flags and you

77
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 1: weren't they No, the flags have always been there. Yeah,

78
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: the flags have always But have they been that so

79
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: you never pull them down at like? Have you ever

80
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: seen them half masked because of the weather.

81
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 3: No, not to my knowledge.

82
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 4: They get changed four times a year because they get

83
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 4: battered and bruised, and they're pretty, they're pretty hefty.

84
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 3: They're hefty flags.

85
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: But that makes sense you drop it halfway down the.

86
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 3: Halfway for other reasons. Yeah, I'm not sure. I know

87
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 3: it to be from high winds or fatman scoops passing,

88
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 3: that's more likely. He certainly resonated.

89
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 2: Thank you and Emily
