Speaker 3: Women laugh, they cry, they hug.

38
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,559

Speaker 2: And we have had women in the audience who have

52
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 2: had very similar experience.

53
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 3: Yes to you.

54
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: And what is so amazing is that everyone comes and

55
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 2: they share. They talk about cancer, they talk about going

56
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: into early menopause, hysterectomies, and we also now they have

57
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: some very lovely gentlemen in the audience, so we do

58
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 2: encourage you to come along as well.

59
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,440

60
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 3: you cry. I mean I like to say that my

61
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 3: vagina is so drive.

62
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 2: The government's requested I stay out of regional areas during

63
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 2: bush fire, and.

64
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 3: You know me, if you don't take that aproach, where

65
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 3: are you?

66
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 4: But the main thing is there is real power in

67
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 4: women coming together and realizing that however night mirriage, their

68
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 4: experience is they're not alone.

69
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 3: So it's the great night.

70
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: I mean, this is if men went through it, there'd

71
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: be a cure for it by now, but they don't,

72
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: so there isn't What do you think is the worst symptom?

73
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 3: Judith? Oh, look, it's so hard toge she has just

74
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 3: talk about.

75
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: Because of course, the amazing thing about CAD's book is

76
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: that she did an enormous survey before she started writing it.

77
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 2: Basically nine thousand women responded, and she thought that the

78
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: most common symptom. And of course this isn't a prop

79
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: a scientific survey, but symptoms for Perry metopause would have

80
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: been hot blushes. Yeah.

81
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 3: And in fact, I actually read an article out. If

82
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 3: these aren't worth a price of entry alone, I don't

83
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 3: know what is.

84
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: I actually read out a list of symptoms while dancing

85
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 2: to Marvin Gates, Let's get it on and oh yeah,

86
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 2: and one loving and clezy that we know of course

87
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: it's hot flushes.

88
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 3: And this article that I read out actually.

89
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 2: Says, but because we know about the hot slushes, but

90
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 2: this article actually says, some women actually feel they are

91
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 2: being engulfed by flame. Yes, that like thing, you know,

92
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: stop screaming, Joan of was Jeff Tolman.

93
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 3: But the thing is that just Tas thought they would

94
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 3: be the most common symptom. But you know what it

95
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 3: was sneaky way, you know, really know it's the flush

96
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 3: for me?

97
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 2: Yeah?

98
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, but did you know this is.

99
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 2: Another one of my favorite time facts. Yeah, there are

100
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: three types of incontinents, and my favorite is I'm not

101
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 2: making a word of this up urgin continent where and

102
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 2: I quote, the bladder developed the mind of its ore.

103
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 3: You know, isn't that great? He needs a toilet, there's

104
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 3: a shoe. So there were just so many fun symptoms

105
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 3: to choose from, but we laugh about all of them.

106
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, you do.

107
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 3: And you Case. You've known each other, you in Case

108
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 3: for a long time now.

109
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 2: But it was a pretty shaky, very public kind of

110
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 2: start to your relationship as mates, wasn't it.

111
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 3: Well, it was sort of public. I made it public.

112
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 3: It's not each of the front thirty years. And some

113
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: people might remember a little show on the ABC from

114
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 3: many years ago. It was the DJNS, the Late Show,

115
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 3: and I was.

116
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 2: I was on that for the second year of ninety

117
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: ninety three, and I used to do a lot of

118
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: material about a magazine called Single Living in the days

119
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 2: when you know, that's how people met each other way

120
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 2: before Tinder, and they used to have just the most

121
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: embarrassing kind of personals in there.

122
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 3: So I used to do a lot of gags about it.

123
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,799
Speaker 2: And one night I was paying out on this magazine

124
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 2: and I held it up to the camera and who

125
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 2: she'd be on the front.

126
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 3: Cover but Kaz Cork.

127
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 2: Now I was a huge fan of Kaz's, but I

128
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: had no idea what she looked like, you know, I

129
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 2: had absolutely no idea.

130
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 3: That that's what i'd done.

131
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: Anyway, Poor old Kaz was actually at home watching the

132
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 2: show because she had just had a gynecological procedure that

133
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: had very happily given her hemorrhoids, actually watching the show

134
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: on her stomach with an ice pack clenched between her

135
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 2: buttocks while I held up this.

136
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 3: Magazine and essentially called her a loser to the entire nation.

137
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 2: And basically Kaz didn't take it lying down, even though

138
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 2: she wasting. Now she told me, she said, Dean know

139
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 2: that for me on the cover, Because of course I

140
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 2: get a message from Twitched were saying Kadz cork is

141
00:06:58,880 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: on the phone.

142
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 3: She obviously just thinks I'm amazing friends. No, he actually

143
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 3: rang up to say hang on a minute. Anyway. But

144
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 3: somehow by the end of that song called we Became

145
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 3: Fast Friends, and that was other thirty years ago, and

146
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 3: the rest is history.

147
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 2: I love it.

148
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: And now you're going through menopause, together, absolutely glorious. It is,

149
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: as we said, it's something that's going to happen to

150
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: at least half the population. It's not fun. It is

151
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: not fun, but so we've got to make fun of it.

152
