36
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: you know, there've been not one, but three Australian astronauts

37
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: and one Australian cosmonaut.

38
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: What's the difference, Oh, I think cosmonauts and Russian astronauts.

39
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: We it's Australian, well with the Australian heritage. You I

40
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: don't know. I thought cosmonaut. It's a cosmonaut, one above

41
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: astroaut where they've been out to the Cosmos. I hope

42
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: it is, because I like the sound of that. I'm

43
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: above an astronaut. Do they not tell you I'm actually

44
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:16,600

00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: I forgot how Quickie was on this. God if only

47
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: there was an instant research engine called Google or something.

48
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: Cosmonauts are people trained and certified by the Russian Space Agency,

49
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: whereas astronaut are people trained by NASA, ESSA or the CSA.

50
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: Australian needs to have their own independent certification. It's anyway,

51
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: christ in three Australian astronauts and what Australian cosmonaut. The

54
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,280

118
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: comes from Joe. I was still going on Monday. How

119
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: the reason why I'm sleeping on the floor, by the way,

120
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: on the mattresses. I broke our bed that we've had

121
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: for twenty years at the weekend, trying to flip the mattress.

122
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you've even tried to. You know,

123
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: we did the mattress last year on the show. It's

124
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: a nightmare trying to turn over that mattress. And we

125
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: were trying to turn it over and rotated as well.

126
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: When I said, wassed the point because it's not like

127
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: we're sagging, we're rolling in the middle of it. It's

128
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: fine because you turn it.

129
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, we never turn it and we never first

130
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 2: in the middle.

131
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: And anyway, I was trying to put my foot on

132
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: the bottom of it, of this brass bed that we

133
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: used to have, which is now in pieces just in

134
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: the other front of the house. It's a really good look.

135
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: It looks great. There was come into the front of

136
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: a house. This it's a bed in pieces out the front.

137
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: It's it's kind of like an art installation really. But anyway,

138
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: I was trying to get purchased on what put a

139
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: foot on there, and it just it shared off. I've

140
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: destroyed the entire bed. Christian, my husband and I flipped

141
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: our mattress a couple of months ago. His foot went

142
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: through the wooden slats and fell backwards. He broke his

143
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: arm in two places and also crashed into. Now, before

144
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: we get to the next bit, I need to ask

145
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: you this, Patsy, do you have names for any inanimate

146
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: objects in your house? Nah? I don't think so. Okay.

147
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: He broke his arm in two places and also crashed

148
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: into Missus Blowy at the vecuum. It's the bedroom fan

149
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: breaking her as well. We had to put her out

150
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: for a cycling. The previous bedroom fan mister Blowy uh

151
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: so not going on here, stopped working and was got

152
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: rid of prior into a house move. Thanks for the detail.

153
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: You mentioned things that you were sad to see go

154
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: and Phil Brackets. My husband still mentions the very sad

155
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: site of mister Blowy going in the garbage tip on

156
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: the back of a truck. We recently replaced the broken
