00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: The Jonesy demanded show as we know it started in

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: the aftermath of the two thousand and four tsunami in.

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 2: Pouquet, an undersea earthquake sent enormous way. Since then, we've

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 2: been here, as you're constant, while the world changed, social

5
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 2: media time it changed three oil wedding.

6
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 3: I follow matter for afect like a sentinel.

7
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: We have watched over the world since two thousand and five,

8
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: and thanks.

9
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 2: To a detailed set of diaries that Jonesy has.

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: Kept, well they're kind of detailed, but we do have

11
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: a time travelers podcast of a highly successful radio show.

12
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: Highly successful a podcast of a moderately successful radio show.

13
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 2: All right, well, let's begin, shall we.

14
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 3: Two thousand and five.

15
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: It seems so long ago, if it was long ago,

16
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: two thousand and five. And let me read from my

17
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: diary a couple of the news clippings from there. The industry.

18
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 1: This was in the Sydney Morning Herald, February twenty one,

19
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: two thousand and five. The industry is waiting nervously for

20
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: tomorrow's survey, the first for the year.

21
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 3: The survey, by the way, that's the radio ratings.

22
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: Yes, and in TV you get them every day. In

23
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 2: radio there are eight a year.

24
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: This article says New Breakfast shows the tsunami and saturation

25
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: marketing have created more uncertainty than usual about the result.

26
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: Because we'd had the tsunami and we didn't know whether

27
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 2: that meant news stations or talk stations would do better

28
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: than FM. It was all up in the air.

29
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 3: Isn't it. Isn't it amazing though the tsunami at the time.

30
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: I remember you ringing me on Boxing Day and said, well, great,

31
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: we're going to be starting the year off well with

32
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: this horrible news that's happened. And indeed, I'm not downplaying

33
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: the tsunami, but a lot of shit has happened since

34
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: two thousand and four.

35
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 2: But the song is that a lot of shit always happens,

36
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 2: and hopefully we are here with you. Like we've seen

37
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: with COVID, we are part of I think i'd like

38
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: to think people's lives, the good, the bad, the ugly.

39
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: We're a constant in it.

40
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: And that's the good thing about the podcast. We break

41
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: into the swears from time to time. I know last

42
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: time you were shocked when I.

43
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 3: Said the word.

44
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: Why doing this?

45
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: I'm just saying we'll beat that out because that's offensive.

46
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 3: It is.

47
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: But so anyway back to the article.

48
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: Yes, so back to the article our programs say two

49
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,480

Speaker 1: Two Day and Mix have adopted new slogans and altered

57
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: their playlists. And then it said for us that WSFM

58
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: had been lagging in the low sevens, that.

59
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 2: You lured me over here telling me you were successful.

60
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: So the next page has the radio ratings and our

61
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: first radio ratings.

62
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 3: You and me together up a staggering point five.

63
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 2: That's a big deal.

64
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: So from the low sevens to the medium to low

65
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: sevens at seven point.

66
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: And we were often running.

67
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: But also other things that happened. I was thirty six

68
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: at the time, thirty seven at the time. My wife

69
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 1: had had our third child in two thousand and two,

70
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: and we decided.

71
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 3: That it was probably time for me to get a viseectimy.

72
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: That's right. Not long after I started here. You know,

73
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: I said that I had you buy the testicles. You

74
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: took them out yourself. You decided to get a vasectomy.

75
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,119
Speaker 3: Not decided.

76
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: I just knew that after Helen had had dominic, we

77
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: knew that she was enough.

78
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 3: That was it.

79
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: There was going to be no more babies, because each

80
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: one of Helen's births just got more and more complicated.

81
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,839
Speaker 2: If that hadn't happened, would you have wanted another one?

82
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 3: I think three? I think three. You feel like you've

83
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 3: got the right amount of kids now.

84
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: I know when we had two, we always thought that

85
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: there was another little soul out there, So yeah, what

86
00:03:58,840 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: about you with Jack and Lee?

87
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: No, well, we had Liam after years of IVF, and

88
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: to be honest, at the beginning, it never occurred to

89
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: me that we'd have more than one. We were so

90
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 2: lucky and amazed that we had one after years.

91
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: Well, I remember you thinking that you weren't going to

92
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: have any I remember having a conversation with you were

93
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: at a function and you said, I think this is

94
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: my life.

95
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 3: I'm just going to be childless.

96
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: And I remember thinking I wouldn't have said the word child.

97
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 2: I could never have said that. The childless, I don't think.

98
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 2: Maybe said flash word, I could never have said it.

99
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 3: Maybe you said, do you remember that function?

100
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: We're at a function and I was sitting next to

101
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: Michael Gadinsky and Molly Meldrum and I think.

102
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 2: It was your son second birthday. All the godfathers.

103
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 3: Andy Dent was there.

104
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: Jennifer Burn was Remember you introduced Jennifer Burn to Andrew Denton.

105
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 2: No, didn't you say, Jennifer this is I forgot that

106
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 2: he was in No, someone came over to talk to

107
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: Jennifer and I thought, oh, no, what's their name? And

108
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,119
Speaker 2: I remember their name and I called Jennifer Debbie Burn.

109
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: But anyway, it was at that function that you said,

110
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: maybe not the words you weren't going to have a

111
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:05,799
Speaker 1: baby or be child.

112
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 2: I did look down the barrel of not having a baby,

113
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 2: but look as you now. Yeah, And then I thought,

114
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 2: I did I want to get to fifty and think

115
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 2: I should have tried again. And that's why you know,

116
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: we had another crack at and then Jack came along.

117
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 2: But let's get back to your vsectomy.

118
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: So the vsectomy happened, and what I find about the

119
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: VASECTI me, is it seems to be you've got to

120
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: ask your wife's permission for a visectomy firstly. Secondly, the

121
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: options for the viseectum me you can have a general

122
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: anothetic or you can have a local anesthetic.

123
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 3: And for some reason women say, oh no, you don't

124
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 3: need a general. You don't need a general.

125
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: ATIS say this is get a local. It's fine, it's easy,

126
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: you don't need that. And so I was just going

127
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: to go along and do that. There was a sales

128
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: guy here Andrew you remember, yes, yes, So about a

129
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: month out from my visectomy, we're just talking and he said, so,

130
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: what are you getting a general or a local?

131
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 3: I said, well, my wife said I just need a local.

132
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: And he said you might want to rethink that, and

133
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: I said why and he said, well I had my

134
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: verseected me. My wife as well said that you should

135
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: just get a local. So he was in the doctor

136
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: surgery and he's got his jewels out there and he's

137
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: got a little sheet up and he's got the local

138
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: and the doctor says, can you feel anything down there?

139
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 3: And he says no, no, I think it's okay.

140
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: The doctor starts cutting into his scrotum and he said,

141
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: I can feel something, and the doctor says, well, you're

142
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: going to feel something and it's going to be a

143
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: little bit uncomfortable. And he says, yeah, okay. So he's

144
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: cut into the scrotum. Then he's grabbed the vast deference.

145
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: They're the things that carry the sperm, and he's pulled them.

146
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 3: Out a little bit.

147
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: And it was that part that the local anesthetic wore off.

148
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: So Andrew flinched. This is the guy that's telling the story.

149
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 3: He flinched.

150
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: The doctor had the two parts of the vast deference

151
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: in those little force apes pliory things that they use,

152
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: and because he's flinched, the doctor's gone and pulled both

153
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: both his vast deference like a string on a frog,

154
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: you know, the string on a frog and the legs

155
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: go up.

156
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 2: Is that what happened?

157
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:04,559
Speaker 3: That's what happened.

158
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: And he.

159
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: Saw, you know, they had a little privacy sheet so

160
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: he couldn't see what was going down there. He saw

161
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: the doctor and the vast deference above the sheet. He

162
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: couldn't walk for a month because it had all pulled everything.

163
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: So when they put it all back together, it felt

164
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: like all the ten he was he was sewn from

165
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,679
Speaker 1: the shag to his lap.

166
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 3: He felt like he was he couldn't walk well, so

167
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 3: he said have a general He.

168
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: Said, get a general anesthetic. So I went and got

169
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: a general anesthetic.

170
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: If I told you this story. When I was filming

171
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 2: for the Beyond two thousand in China and they were

172
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,559
Speaker 2: looking at ways of birth control, we had to film

173
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 2: a man having pretty much arrol died injected into his testicles.

174
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 2: Why as a birth control blocking up the tubes. So

175
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 2: this poor guy.

176
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 3: They put it into the van. First step.

177
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 2: Yes, so this poor guy is lying there we're filming

178
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 2: hit the doctor doing this to him. A Chinese film

179
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 2: crew were filming us because it was so prestigious having

180
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 2: this Australian film crew filming it. So the doctor was

181
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 2: so nervous his hands were shaking. This poor man turned up.

182
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: He just put his shoes under the table where this

183
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: operation was taking place. I don't know what kind of

184
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 2: anesthetic they gave him. He was wide awake and they

185
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 2: flopped his testicles out on a sheet, so everything else

186
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: was hitting. He still had his clothes on and it

187
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: was just the sack above this piece of sheeting.

188
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 3: And how old are you?

189
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 2: I was in my early twenties.

190
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 3: So you're just standing there gormlessly watching.

191
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 2: It, and as the doctor's hands are shaking and injecting

192
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 2: this stuff into him, he's just lying there pretending it's

193
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 2: not happening. And then we had to get a shot

194
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 2: of my face watching what we call a cutaway, so

195
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: the cameraman films my face as I'm looking and I

196
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 2: just thought this is so surreal that I just started giggling,

197
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 2: which is the worst thing you could do, filming me

198
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 2: in close up looking at this man's giant sack and laughing.

199
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,719
Speaker 2: It was a and I think, what a dreadful day

200
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 2: for me. That poor man, what a dreadful day for him.

201
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 3: You know, I think women feel that they own pain

202
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 3: because of childbirth and everything.

203
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: Let's not argue about that.

204
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: And I don't dispute that I've witnessed a few births.

205
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: I've been in the birthing suite for all my children,

206
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: and I have all respect for that. But at the

207
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: same time, I don't feel that this respect given back

208
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: when it comes to the VERSECT.

209
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 2: Well, you had a general anesthetic, but I did.

210
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: But I was ready to go in there with a

211
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: local anesthetic because my wife for me because my wife

212
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: had said, oh, don't be such a baby. He's only

213
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: cutting into your scratum and cutting your vast difference.

214
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 3: What's the matter with you?

215
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: So tell me what the general feel.

216
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: Well, I got the general anesthetic and was great and

217
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,599
Speaker 1: went along for the procedure and as I'm about to

218
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: get knocked out, the guy goes, you know, and he's

219
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: he's at the time putting mercurochrome on my testicles and

220
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: he says, I just like to really enjoy your show.

221
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: You're and Amanda and everything. I know you've just started

222
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: this year, but you're doing very well. And he's holding my.

223
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 3: Testicles as he says this, and.

224
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 2: Like he said, he liked you. But anyway, the prefer

225
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 2: Alan Jones. I gave you a squeeze.

226
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: He saw the testicles and thought Alan James. So anyway,

227
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: all fine, Everything was okay.

228
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 3: I will say this though.

229
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: When you go for the general anesthetic, because you're totally

230
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: knocked out, they're going to be a bit rougher with you,

231
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: so meaning they're going to pull because something you don't realize.

232
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 3: The vast different is quite it's almost like a hose

233
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 3: rill in there.

234
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: You can pull it out affair because we've heard as

235
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: we've heard with poor old Andrew the sales guy, so

236
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: obviously they're going to be a bit rougher.

237
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 3: So when I woke up there was a bit of pain.

238
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: It felt like, as I said before, my lap had

239
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: been sewn to my stomach.

240
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 2: And yet you insisted on riding your bike. Even the

241
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 2: doctor said don't do it.

242
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: No, he didn't say don't do it, because I always

243
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: respect doctor's orders, I will say this. I didn't ask

244
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: him though, because I knew he would say it was

245
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: Doctors buying large hate motorcycles.

246
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 3: They hate how they pay for the hold it out.

247
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: You may as well have just got a broom and

248
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 2: whaped yourself in another region.

249
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 3: I know that now.

250
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: By the time I got halfway to work, I thought

251
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: this is probably a bad idea.

252
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 2: But my favorite thing, though, is when I don't know

253
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 2: how long after that, you have to test that it

254
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: has done its job because.

255
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: There's a few shots in the pipe, as they say,

256
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 1: so once your vast difference have been chopped, you've got

257
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: to be careful because what happens is there's a lot

258
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: of VASEECTI me babies. So a couple who the guy

259
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: gets the vasectomy and then he thinks, oh great, I'm

260
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: you know, shooting blanks.

261
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 3: Now that's not the case. So that's why you get

262
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 3: a lot of VASEECTI me, baby.

263
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: So what you have to do is you've got to

264
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: You've got to have about thirty shots.

265
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 3: Thirty ejaculates.

266
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 2: Over a period of about expecting this.

267
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, that's what it is.

268
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 2: The guy the car wash said, the dry cleaner, look,

269
00:11:59,040 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 2: so many.

270
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 3: Ways you're going to have thirty shots.

271
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: And you can't just go and have thirty shots in

272
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: one go, as the doctor said to me. He said,

273
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: you've got to wait for about three months and then

274
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: after you've had thirty.

275
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 2: Shots, you go and get it tested.

276
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: And I'm going to tear my sex life wasn't Isn't

277
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: that prolific? Okay, so thirty shots is.

278
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 2: Eight years later you made your way back thirty shots.

279
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 3: That's you know, if that was genuine sex. Yeah, I'm

280
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 3: not going to go let's not go into that.

281
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 2: Under what I remember about this story.

282
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you've got to wait three months.

283
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 2: You got to wait three months and then for some reason,

284
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 2: the day you had to go and take your sample

285
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: in and it's no fun doing. And I know that

286
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: Harley had to take samples in and stuff and all

287
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 2: that we were doing IVF, all kinds of things, and

288
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 2: he didn't want to go into a little room and

289
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 2: do it there, so he'd do it at home and

290
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 2: drive with it in a container under his arm. And

291
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: I thought, if he had an accident, how do you

292
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 2: explain why? That's all Jones? He's been in a car

293
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 2: with him.

294
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 3: I shot number twenty eight. Why would my jisp in

295
00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 3: his arm?

296
00:12:58,760 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: Pid?

297
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 3: What do you say?

298
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 2: That's the headline right there.

299
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 3: I don't understand. Why didn't you want to go into

300
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 3: the little room. You can go along with it. You

301
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 3: can go along with a copy of Big and Bouncy.

302
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: Or perform differences and you can walk into the room

303
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: and go here you go, I'm going in there.

304
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 2: But that's awkward for some because it's a sanctus.

305
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: You did it well, okay, So what happened for me

306
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: happened for yous. So for me to go and see

307
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: that I was demonstrate that I was now infertile.

308
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 3: I went to the collection.

309
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: Well, I had to drop my sample off at the

310
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: collection place, and they don't have any facilities to do

311
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: it at the collection place.

312
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 3: They didn't even have a toilet there. You've just got

313
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 3: to drop your.

314
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: Because the collection place is in one of those shopping ceters,

315
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: you know. We they've got, you know, a toilet that's

316
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: shared with a restaurant. You can't go into the restaurants

317
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: thing and have a wank.

318
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 2: That would be terrible that no one would know your

319
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 2: copy of Ribald Tractor magazines. Whatever you need.

320
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: So at the time I was working on Carry Show.

321
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: I was doing Carry Anne show.

322
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 3: Hands it's a good in my hand.

323
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: Yeah it is ex ockay, take your head out of

324
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: your hands. So it's doing Carry and Show. It's a

325
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: very busy time for me.

326
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 2: So you chose that day I had to drop off.

327
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: I had to do the drop off because I was

328
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: booked in for the drop off and the doctor said

329
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: you've got to do it between this time so you

330
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: can come down and see me for the after consult consultation.

331
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 3: So I was at Channel nine.

332
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: The place I was going to is a Ramsgate suburban

333
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: Sydney on the way home to Cronulla.

334
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 3: So we've got timan Ramsgate, Cronulla.

335
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 2: So short, long story short, no, no, you had to

336
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 2: do it at Channel nine.

337
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: Had to do it at Channel nine, and Channel nine

338
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: has some great bathrooms. There's plenty of there were plenty

339
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: of isolated ones, so you would know that you were

340
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: safe to you do your business without any distraction. The

341
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: problem is in the toilet. Going into the toilet, someone

342
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: that's a joke put a picture of Eddie Maguire.

343
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 2: And there, So this is my favorite part of the

344
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 2: story is you gave your sample under the gaze of Eddie.

345
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: Look, and this is before the iPhone, so he couldn't

346
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: even look up your own material. So there's no there's

347
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: no there's no pornhub, there's nothing like that out there.

348
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 3: There's nothing that you can you know.

349
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: So you no, Well I had to like went into

350
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: the green room and just looked at the magazines.

351
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 2: There was the Prospectors.

352
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: That's what got me over the line. So then then

353
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: after I flipped Eddie's.

354
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 3: Picture around so you could see him. So because anyway, anyway, it's.

355
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: Needless to say you got your sample, because they give

356
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: you all the collection things you need.

357
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 3: So you get like a plastic container with a lid.

358
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: So before I did my business, I wrote on the

359
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: plastic container my name, my business, my name, my age,

360
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: my address, all that sort of stuff sealed the container,

361
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: so I wrote on that. Then there's another plastic contained,

362
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: a like plastic bag ziploc bag that says.

363
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 3: Bio has it on it.

364
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: So I've written on that my name, my address, everything

365
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: like that. And then they give you another plastic bag,

366
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,359
Speaker 1: I presume for privacy.

367
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 3: So when you take a long.

368
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: Still plastic, it's plastic, but it's not it's translucent.

369
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 3: You know, you can't see really what's in there.

370
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: Well, it's not translucent.

371
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 3: It's translated. Opa, it's opai right like why seed? Oh

372
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 3: all right, you asked. So you've put that in.

373
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: And then I've got my own bag, which I've put

374
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: it in a paper bag.

375
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 2: By now it's the size of a dude.

376
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 3: I've put that in just so and I've he's dropping

377
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 3: off the end.

378
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: I've checked, checked and double checked triple check that all

379
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: the details are there so I can go to the

380
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: collection place. Put it on the counter. Here you go,

381
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: I'm dropping off my collection, Thank you, goodbye. So anyway,

382
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: I get to this collection place in Ramsgate walking there's

383
00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: a massive like not a massive, there's like a waiting room,

384
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: not massive.

385
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 3: But there's a few people in there.

386
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 1: There's like about ten people in this waiting room and

387
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: there's a counter there, and there's this particularly gruff Russian woman.

388
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 1: She looks like a Russian weightlifter. And she says yes,

389
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: and I said, I'm just chopping off my sample for.

390
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 3: Doctor blah blah, thank you very much, hang on, wait

391
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 3: a minute where we would check it?

392
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: And she sounded like Boris and Natasa, you know Natasha

393
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: from Ruggy and Muzzan Squirri. I will check the details.

394
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: And I said, no, no, the details are fine. You

395
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: don't need to check anything. No, no, no, we must

396
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: check And I said, no, it's all there. You will

397
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: find all the details I would check. So I thought, okay,

398
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: well you know, and I thought she'd just take the

399
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: brown paper bag off, see the translucent or opaque bag

400
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: and move on from that. She goes, have you labeled

401
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: the other bag? And I'm like, yes, I've labeled the

402
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: other bag inside. Yes, I have to put all my

403
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: details in there, and she says, I will check, and

404
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: then she says, your name is Brendan Jones. Yes, And

405
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: she's yelling this all out to everyone that's in the

406
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 1: waiting room. Your phone number, yells out, my phone number address, Yes,

407
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: thank you. Okay, just have you labeled the specimen jar?

408
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: And I went, yes, I've labeled the specimen.

409
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 3: I will check, and by that stage I thought, well,

410
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 3: here we go.

411
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: So she gets the specimen jar out, holds it and

412
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: then she's reading my name so I can clearly see

413
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: my seed in her hand.

414
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: That would have you know, I must say, if you

415
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 2: wanted to cut out the middle man.

416
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 3: Gone straight. She looked a bit like Eddie McGuire.

417
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 2: So she's in save on plastic.

418
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: She's holding it in her hand like this. It's like

419
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: she said a wine tasting. Your name is Brendan John's yes, yes,

420
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: And then I thought okay, cheese and crackers.

421
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

422
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: And then she says, okay, put it all back and

423
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: I went okay, thank you. Then this guy walks in,

424
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: old guy, and he's got a bag, an opaque bag

425
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: as well, and he said, I'm just trybing on sample.

426
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 3: Have you labeled the thing?

427
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,959
Speaker 1: And he goes, yes, yes, yes I have, and then

428
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: she says I will check. So the poor old guy

429
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,959
Speaker 1: has to stand there. She pulls out a square sized box.

430
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 1: What I reckon was the biggest pool I've ever saw.

431
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 2: My god, how did he manage that well, that's dextrous.

432
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: And everyone in the waiting room is just looking at

433
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 1: and the old guy's going as red as anything. And

434
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,959
Speaker 1: I said, mate, this is what she just does, This

435
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: is her thing, this is what she does.

436
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 2: Well, how many kids do you have after that? None?

437
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 3: There were no oversectory babies to be had.

438
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: Well, I still haven't gone up to the thirty shots,

439
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: and that was back in two thousand and five.

440
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 2: But you still call Eddy once a week.
