Last week I was talking about Hama 20 00:01:15,645 --> 00:01:18,565 Speaker 1: why wife loves sci Fi, and so we'd start to 21 00:01:18,565 --> 00:01:20,565 Speaker 1: watch Foundation and I wasn't sure if it was getting 22 00:01:20,565 --> 00:01:24,165 Speaker 1: to get any better. It was gobbledygook about Starlock's Terminus 23 00:01:24,285 --> 00:01:26,765 Speaker 1: and eighty seven other planets and soda symptems. I couldn't 24 00:01:26,805 --> 00:01:28,445 Speaker 1: keep up with it all. A lot of you text 25 00:01:28,525 --> 00:01:30,685 Speaker 1: in saying, stay with it. It's brilliant and we have 26 00:01:30,765 --> 00:01:34,525 Speaker 1: stuck it out. It's awesome and you understand it. I do, well, No, 27 00:01:34,525 --> 00:01:37,605 Speaker 1: neither my wife or I understand it. But we're okay now. 28 00:01:37,765 --> 00:01:40,885 Speaker 1: In ignorance, actually, I think is one of the ten 29 00:01:40,925 --> 00:01:44,245 Speaker 1: steps to enlightenment is actually just admitting we know nothing, 30 00:01:44,565 --> 00:01:46,685 Speaker 1: but being happy in that. But no, very very good. 31 00:01:46,965 --> 00:01:49,325 Speaker 1: And the other thing that is back season two of 32 00:01:49,605 --> 00:01:55,165 Speaker 1: the Terminal lists on Prime. Oh my god. Chris Prout, Stearine, 33 00:01:55,205 --> 00:01:57,965 Speaker 1: Taylor Kitsch started in the first season, which was really 34 00:01:57,965 --> 00:02:01,965 Speaker 1: really good. Second season is even better. There's no Chris Pratt. 35 00:02:02,205 --> 00:02:05,165 Speaker 1: He's obviously doing Jurassic Park. So what they have is 36 00:02:05,205 --> 00:02:08,085 Speaker 1: he keeps is this on the phone? Oh right, it's 37 00:02:08,125 --> 00:02:12,084 Speaker 1: pretty it is, and they might they just play his voice. 38 00:02:12,605 --> 00:02:14,445 Speaker 1: What a great way to get a bit of coin, 39 00:02:15,325 --> 00:02:17,645 Speaker 1: you know, can we try that one? You know, Alex 40 00:02:17,725 --> 00:02:20,285 Speaker 1: is near, but he's on the phone right now. That's 41 00:02:20,325 --> 00:02:23,525 Speaker 1: the sports to your team. Chris Patt is in it, 42 00:02:23,605 --> 00:02:25,645 Speaker 1: so you can put it on the posters. He's not 43 00:02:25,925 --> 00:02:29,125 Speaker 1: physically if you see him, he's left the voice smell anyway. 44 00:02:29,165 --> 00:02:33,565 Speaker 1: It's just it's just he's just texted me. Oh, he's 45 00:02:33,605 --> 00:02:36,245 Speaker 1: on these phone calls. And he's obviously in his trader 46 00:02:36,565 --> 00:02:39,245 Speaker 1: on the set of Jurassic Park in that outfit. However, 47 00:02:39,805 --> 00:02:42,045 Speaker 1: that means more Taylor Kitsch and if you're a fellow 48 00:02:42,085 --> 00:02:44,845 Speaker 1: fan of Friday Night Lights, he's an outstanding actor. Even 49 00:02:44,885 --> 00:02:47,405 Speaker 1: better the second season. Really we like it.

Rio, 123 00:06:29,484 --> 00:06:30,085 Speaker 1: what's it for you? 124 00:06:30,284 --> 00:06:32,685 Speaker 3: I've got a couple for you guys. Firstly, we are 125 00:06:32,765 --> 00:06:35,325 Speaker 3: into spring. We are into pollen season. 126 00:06:35,445 --> 00:06:40,525 Speaker 1: Oh you getting into polland issues must have? Oh yeah, 127 00:06:40,604 --> 00:06:44,165 Speaker 1: shout out, I'm really getting into pollend guy. What were 128 00:06:44,205 --> 00:06:47,004 Speaker 1: they shrink? Next? They shrunk it? You know, pollen's. 129 00:06:48,445 --> 00:06:50,765 Speaker 3: It's very hard to get accurate pollen readings on most 130 00:06:50,804 --> 00:06:54,004 Speaker 3: of the major apps. So there is an independent Melbourne 131 00:06:54,284 --> 00:06:56,245 Speaker 3: company called I'm not sure the company is called, but 132 00:06:56,325 --> 00:06:59,605 Speaker 3: the app call is called Melbourne Pollen App and it 133 00:06:59,724 --> 00:07:03,164 Speaker 3: has every day alert of the pollen rating in Melbourne. 134 00:07:03,245 --> 00:07:06,284 Speaker 3: So today the grass pollen rating is low. You don't 135 00:07:06,364 --> 00:07:08,765 Speaker 3: have to worry about it. It sends you a alert 136 00:07:08,844 --> 00:07:09,484 Speaker 3: every morning, so. 137 00:07:09,484 --> 00:07:13,045 Speaker 1: When you wake up you have to a really good idea. 138 00:07:13,205 --> 00:07:13,884 Speaker 1: It's a lifesaver. 139 00:07:13,925 --> 00:07:17,165 Speaker 3: I download it every spring, very very helpful.
