I said, look, 8 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: just a card is fine. I got your card. I 9 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: got you some great gifts. I know you did, thank you, 10 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: But can I tell you what the biggest gift of 11 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:35,160 Speaker 1: all was. On Saturday, I went to an event called 12 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: Hublander Meet the men of Outlander. Now you remember I'm 13 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: late to Outlander. Outlander started ten years ago. It's the 14 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: incredible story of a woman who in the nineteen forties 15 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: goes to this remote part of Scotland and kind of 16 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: falls through some stones, comes out in a part of 17 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: Jacoby in History in Scotland, falls in love with Jamie. 18 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: They have this incredibly tense, tumultuous relationship and everyone swoons 19 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: every time women who were into this show walk past 20 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 1: any rocks they try and fall through them. So there's 21 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: a huge fan base for this show. I eat lots 22 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: of maddies that are attracted to it, not all obviously 23 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: a maddies, and I'd like to think one of those. 24 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: I'm not sure which category I'm in. Late you're a 25 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: late man, Well that's I only just started a year 26 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,199 Speaker 1: ago and I binge watched an entire first season one day. 27 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: People say to me, I was into Outlander a long 28 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: time to tell Amanda that of course. Of course, so 29 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: they have a very strong fan base. So I've had 30 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: an event Sydney on Saturday Melbourne Sunday where you go 31 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: along and there's four guys from Outlander who were there 32 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: and they sort of give you themselves out for various 33 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: sessions of Q and a of chatting, photographs, all of 34 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. So I was beside myself and 35 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: they asked me. I went to the VIP section on Saturitude, 36 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: so there weren't that many of us there. Reader or 37 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: Perry's no, actually a Taylor Swift. It's exactly what I 38 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: was like. And they asked me if I would ask 39 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: the first question. I said yes, and they said, look, 40 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: do you mind if we sort of give you the 41 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: question because they want to direct it away from will 42 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: you have sex with me? Which is pretty much what 43 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: my second question was going to be, and to sort 44 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: of set the tone of let's keep it professional, they 45 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: wanted me to kick off with the first question, which 46 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: was something like, you know you have to film some 47 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: pretty heavy scenes. How does you laugh? How does the laughter? 48 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: What role does that play? Because they're all good friends, 49 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: and I thought I can work with that, I'll make 50 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: it chatty and blah blah blah. But when I got there, 51 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: there'd been a few events leading up where they felt 52 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: it was safer, and their job is to protect these guys, 53 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: it was safer if the questions were written down and 54 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: just read out by the moderator, so you get acknowledged 55 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: and then someone else reads the question. So I was 56 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: acknowledged as we've got a local celebrity here embarrassing who's 57 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: known for her humor? And then the most dour question 58 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: the way it was written, was what role is laughter? 59 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: Like I was some weirdo. I'd rather have asked will 60 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 1: you have so I've said here she is, she's got 61 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: a sense of humor. And then the question was diabolically 62 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: dry because it's problematic. Though I remember I went on 63 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 1: tour with the Deadly's Catch captains and they had a 64 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: that question and it was just drunken fisherman yelling at 65 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: drunken fishermen, and it was just a mess. But it 66 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: is a great thing, and Sam human love to know. 67 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: Some of the questions that were Sam Hwan and Duncan Lacroix, 68 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: he plays Murder. They have a great friendship as you 69 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: can see. And they've been out on the turps the 70 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: night before and were full of laughter and jokes. And 71 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: and also I'd had dinner with my sons the night before, 72 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: so my face was as puffy as hell, and I 73 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: had garlic breadth, so I was ready to go, I said. 74 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: Sam stopped asking because he had to endure a lot 75 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: in that, a lot of rap scenes and stuff like that. Again, 76 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: he's still sitting but that so there's such great band 77 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: between them, and they hosted the show so well. And 78 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: one of the questions, this woman said, look, it's not 79 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: so much a question, she said, I just want to 80 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: thank you. She said, I started watching Outlander during lockdown 81 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: and her husband had just passed away, and she said 82 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: she was all alone and she started to watch this 83 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: show and the relationship between Claire and Jamie reminded her 84 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: of the early days with her husband, and she said, 85 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: I just want you to know the kind of impact 86 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: this show has. So there was it was great, and 87 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: then of course there were the questions of when you 88 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: had to have that male rape scene, how long did 89 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: you have to lie underneath him? Awkward? Awkward? How long 90 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: did he have to lie on her? Well, he said 91 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: there was three days of filming, three days and he said, 92 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: great co star. But I didn't talk to him much 93 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: that day, so you know that sort of stuff. And 94 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: then so I had a photo with them afterwards, and 95 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 1: Sam gave me a little birthday cake because inn it 96 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: was my birthday. It was a little cupcake. Gave me 97 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: a cupcake and I had a photo and I said, 98 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: how embarrassing, I said, such a great chauvelin so much 99 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: about the history of the time, because I didn't want 100 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: to seem like a will you have sex? So I 101 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 1: went the other way. So much about the history has 102 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: been so interested in a cupcake? Cupcake? But can I 103 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: say those guys are so funny, so charming. My respect 104 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: for them has just gone through the roof. But you 105 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: still know my follow up question don't you William, etcetera.
