1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: Okay, so the title of today's podcast is I'll never

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: forget about the day Dot Dot Dot.

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 2: Became a man.

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: And yeah, we were going to do the text message

5
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: thing from last week. I just yeah, I feel like

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: we covered a lot of ground there.

7
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: Let's just be honest.

8
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 3: We both couldn't be bothered with any prep it required

9
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:22,639
Speaker 3: requires that question requires prep.

10
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 4: I think I think it took a lot.

11
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 2: Well, come on, I can think of well.

12
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go back there, but I can

13
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 1: already think of three three.

14
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 2: Well, okay, one of us couldn't be bothered thinking that's me.

15
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: So we're doing a new card I'll never forget about

16
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: the day. Now, if you're watching this on YouTube, the

17
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: reason that I'm wearing.

18
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 4: My Oakley wrap around sunglasses because.

19
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: You're trying a new thing. You're trying a new look,

20
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 2: and I think I think it's half.

21
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 4: Not trying a new look. I'm not trying a new look.

22
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: This line so much on this podcast.

23
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 4: I've got I.

24
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: Get ocular migraines and the lights in here very bright,

25
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: so I'm trying to avoid that.

26
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 4: Now, nice good cover. It's something.

27
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 3: Come on, you should just embrace the new look that

28
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 3: you're going forwards, cocally, sunglasses inside.

29
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 4: We all love hitting the slopes.

30
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 2: It's not it's very it's a ski aesthetic.

31
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 4: I agree to. Let's get into the question. I'll never

32
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 4: forget about the day I.

33
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 3: Tried wears inside a look and it didn't work.

34
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: Now, it's very obvious one for me, which I don't

35
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: want to go down this path because I think it's

36
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 1: very obvious for everyone.

37
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: Don't.

38
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 4: Well, no, I think it's the first thing that comes

39
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 4: to mind is very obvious one, which is the birth

40
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 4: of my daughter. Oh yeah, yeah.

41
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: I don't really want to go on that path because

42
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: I think everyone's got a war story there and that

43
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: that's a hectic time. And I think there's a great

44
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: podcast called Australian Birth Stories, which I'd highly recommend that

45
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: you listen to if you want to get that that's awesome.

46
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: So that for me is probably a no in terms

47
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: of where.

48
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 3: I'm going to go with this. Don't go there, I

49
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 3: don't think so did you can't say quickly on that, though,

50
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,919
Speaker 3: I member I need to talk.

51
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: About it more. I think there's this really fascinating thing

52
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: that's gone on.

53
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if Sam's got this as well, or

54
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 3: any any female actually who's listening to this? But and

55
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 3: I don't know whether this is like an evolutionary thing

56
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 3: that has.

57
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: Helped us move forward.

58
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 3: But it's like when I talked to mim, if ever

59
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 3: it comes up, she has forgotten a lot, yeah, and

60
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 3: and and forgotten a lot of the really hectic things, and.

61
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: Is the is the again?

62
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 3: I don't I'm just hypothesizing here, but because it was

63
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: funny we were talking about with we're having a brief

64
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 3: conversation around like baby number two stuff and just glancing.

65
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 2: A mere glance.

66
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 4: You were in the garden, she was in the kitchen.

67
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 4: We'll think about it, and that was the end.

68
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 3: But when we actually talked about like how we'd go

69
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 3: about the actual birth for number two, how do we.

70
00:02:58,639 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 4: Go about it?

71
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: We can have to and plans like what what, what

72
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 2: medication do you have?

73
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 4: Where do you do it?

74
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 2: Et cetera, et cetera.

75
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 3: And within that conversation I had that very stark realization

76
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 3: that I was like, you really have like blocked out

77
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 3: a lot of things that happened in that.

78
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: And that also might be Yes, I think there's definitely

79
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: a there's there's definitely a hormone that there is a

80
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: process there which women release when they give birth, which

81
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: stops them from remembering the most painful parts of birth.

82
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: That is a thing. That's definitely a thing fascinating. I

83
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: didn't know that.

84
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: But there's also there might also be like some self

85
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: protecting thing going on there, and she's like, I don't

86
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: want to think about that because there's a lot to

87
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: umpact there. Yeah, I could say exactly the same thing

88
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: for them. I reckon, if I'm being really honest, I

89
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: recon one of the reasons that we might be delaying

90
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: have another baby is because I reckon, there's still a

91
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: lot of stuff that she hasn't unpacked there. And she

92
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: said quite explicitly to me, I know that I haven't

93
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: unpacked that, and I'm not ready to unpack that just yet.

94
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: Totally fine.

95
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, with the midw've regings, we used that they had

96
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: like a service which is really cool, where jan the

97
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: head midwife, came to our house afterwards and was like,

98
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: you have like an open wound right now and you're

99
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: not addressing it, and I'm really sorry, but I'm going

100
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: to take you back there now and we're going to

101
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: talk about it. And I left the room and there

102
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: was a whole lot of tears and yeah, which good,

103
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: it's really important.

104
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 4: I had to have it.

105
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, yeah, we also had a code blue so

106
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: it was which Max wasn't breathing, So it was very

107
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: very intense for a long time. So yes, let's not

108
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: talk about that day. So but I'm glad you brought

109
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: that up because I think that is a really good

110
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: thing to talk about it and I think for a

111
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: lot of people, Yeah, a birth, the birth, it's funny

112
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: for a lot of people on there, forget about the

113
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: day birth my child so brilliant, but also birth a

114
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: child is you know, it can be really hectic for

115
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 1: a lot of people. So that's a good one to

116
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: cover off. It's a very broad question. I remember a

117
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: lot of days. I remember yesterday, I remember the day

118
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: before that.

119
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean?

120
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 3: Like this feels like a I feel like I need

121
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 3: a character to garize it, Like do we want like

122
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 3: a the happiest, I remember, the saddest, I remember the

123
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 3: most transformed, you know what I mean? Like I finding

124
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 3: it quite difficult to a few things are popping up

125
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 3: into the old nognog here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I

126
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 3: don't know which which which which which path, Yeah, to

127
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 3: skip down.

128
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 4: Which daughter nognog on.

129
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I there's one thing comes to mind for me,

130
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: which I think is very very funny. But I don't

131
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: know how much of the story I can tell that.

132
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm keen to kind of I'm keen to, yeah,

133
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: because I know you and I were both part of

134
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: this day. So we were in living and Perth, and

135
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: we we were I think we were about two months

136
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: into doing or three three months into doing this show.

137
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 4: Heidi will and Woody killing it, no doubt. Well, I

138
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 4: think that was the issue.

139
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: So I was probably I think I just turned twenty two,

140
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: you were twenty three.

141
00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 4: We're really young, very very young, and probably young, let's

142
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 4: be honest.

143
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: And they all of a sudden we're like, hey, look

144
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 1: here's a whole bunch.

145
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,559
Speaker 4: Of money to go and do a radio show.

146
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: And you and I were like, great, we're young, and

147
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: you're about to give us a whole bunch of money

148
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: to do something fun. And it didn't feel like like

149
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: we had other priorities at that age. Largely a whole

150
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: bunch of our friends had moved over to Perth. It

151
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: was the mining boom, and that was getting really fucked up.

152
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: On the weekends and for.

153
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 5: Yourself, so so so we moved over there.

154
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 4: And I don't know why.

155
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: This day sticks out for me so much, but it

156
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: is a pretty funny. It was just hilarious that we

157
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: were in that situation and which day careful. Heidi, who

158
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: we're doing the show with, was ten years at least

159
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: ten years older than us, and like, this was it,

160
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: This is it, this is a big break and for

161
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: us it was like, yeah, well we're really young, this

162
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: is the beginning of something for us, sure, but also

163
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: there's plenty of years left in the tank and we're

164
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: happy being boys.

165
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 3: I don't think that was a conscious thought though, Shit, no,

166
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 3: I think I think what was interesting is I think subconsciously,

167
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 3: I think we the way we approached the radio show

168
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 3: was and we actually I were a lot to hide

169
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 3: in the way that she went about it, but she

170
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 3: was trying to do a very different show to us.

171
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 3: We were very much of the school. It needs to

172
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 3: be loose, it needs to be fun. And I don't

173
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 3: want to talk about anything serious ever. Yeah, and vulnerability

174
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 3: twenty three year old me, absolutely not And I don't

175
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 3: care for it.

176
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 4: Not interested in it yet. Yeah, I would rather.

177
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 2: Talk I'm going to talk about funny stuff.

178
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: And I think that and we worshiped comedy like that

179
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: was kind of our Yeah, yeah, if people were doing

180
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: something funny, it was like those people are our heroes. Really,

181
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: it was like sports people and comedians.

182
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 2: And I think as.

183
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 3: Well with that, like I think we also worshiped and

184
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 3: idolized people even within comedy or even sport that looks

185
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 3: like they weren't even working. That it wasn't cool to

186
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 3: work hard, right, you know, You've got to be out

187
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 3: on the weekend going like partying and then you rock

188
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 3: up and you're still very good at what you do.

189
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 3: And I think Hardy was at a point where she

190
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 3: was like, that's not actually how it works, you do.

191
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 4: It was really unfair to it.

192
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: It was really unfair on her in that regard, and

193
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: years later you put yourself in her shoes and you're like,

194
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: I'm amazed that she's stuck at it.

195
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 4: Really, But.

196
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: It got to the point where clearly the network had

197
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: cottoned onto the fact that we were sleeping for somewhere

198
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: between two and four hours between Friday and Sunday, and

199
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: we were rocking up to work and we were like,

200
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: in the words of the guy, the boss that flew

201
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: over at the time, I can say his name, Craig Bruce.

202
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: He flew over and he was like, boys, your Thursday

203
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: Friday shows are amazed, because we.

204
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 2: Were in about for the weekend when your weekend was amazing.

205
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: Your Monday to Wednesdays shows a dog mate. Yeah, And

206
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: then he was like I'm pretty sure he says something

207
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: like I didn't come down in the last shower. You're

208
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: clearly sending it over the weekend, and you cooked like

209
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: this is ridiculous.

210
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 2: I think I tried to say when the first time

211
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 2: I brought it up, I was like, I.

212
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 3: Mean Fridays, yeah, yeah, but then just two days of

213
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 3: pretty solid.

214
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 5: Recovery, it was just like shut up, just just shut up.

215
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again like we're a very new show. They've

216
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: just blooded us. They put all this money into the advertising,

217
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: they're paying us a lot of money, and it was

218
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: this like they were furious, like actually furious, clearly heart

219
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 1: he was really upset, and.

220
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 3: I said, you telling this story while we're in Oakley

221
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 3: Sunglasses and it's like it's like if you're trying to

222
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 3: convince people that you're through those days, it's not working.

223
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 4: It's not working.

224
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 2: That was old me. That was old me.

225
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: So anyway, they drags into this meeting and it was

226
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 1: early in the week that week, and we were pretty

227
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: close to nowhere and fatigued, fatigued, and I remember we

228
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:15,239
Speaker 1: was sitting in the meeting room and and I got lined.

229
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 2: Up by Craig, Craig got Todd, well maybe both.

230
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 4: I think it was a double team.

231
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, get We got double teamed by Craig Brest

232
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: and Todd Campbell.

233
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 3: Nice like at list tick and they said were going

234
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 3: hard at you, they were going real hard.

235
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: The yeah, the blowtorch came at me, largely because I'm

236
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: pretty sure I said three words on air that day.

237
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, I think. I think.

238
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 3: I mean because I'm my energy is often at like

239
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 3: a fifteen. I think when I if I was fatigued

240
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 3: or I had a big weekend, my fifteen went down

241
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 3: to like a seven, whereas you. So if your natural

242
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 3: temperament and energy is at a seven, which which really

243
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 3: works when I'm too high and you're at a seven, yeah,

244
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 3: but if you all seven went down to a one,

245
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 3: one and a half two, yeah.

246
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: Zero sparge portions of the radio show staring out the window.

247
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 2: I remember that that was.

248
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 4: That was tough.

249
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: Looking over Subiaco, not looking at Heidi while she was talking,

250
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: that was that was.

251
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 4: That was tough. Oh my god.

252
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 3: And then I remember I remember having moments where I

253
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 3: was like tapping Heidi, being like talk to me, like,

254
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 3: you've got just tell me this. Sorry, don't worry about him,

255
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 3: tell me you've got me.

256
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 4: Oh man, So I do. Yeah. I regret that a lot.

257
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 4: Actually that would have sucked.

258
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: But anyway, we're in this meeting room and I'll never

259
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: forget the day when Craig and Todd they're going both

260
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: of us and then they just turned the blow torch

261
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: onto me. Yeah, hard, yeah, hard, yeah, really stepped up.

262
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 4: Really, it was.

263
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: Like, you guys are all for at the moment we're

264
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: paying all this money, you're taking the piss.

265
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 4: We know you're partying. What in I lying?

266
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: Lying, lying? And then they just stopped the group attack

267
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: and they both just went for me and they were

268
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 1: both just like and it got I don't know, I

269
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: think probably because I just opened my mouth and probably

270
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: came back a bit vindictively and might have called them

271
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: hacks and talentless, et cetera.

272
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 4: And no, you didn't do that.

273
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 2: You did not do that.

274
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: No, I wouldn't have gone that far, but I just wouldn't.

275
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: I'm not as good at taking me twenty two year

276
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: old me, like just not a great person. And they

277
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: came hard for me, and they thought it'started, getting very personal.

278
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, like it go really personal, and I

279
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: mean I was upset, but I was also like, you

280
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: know again in that classic twenty two year old fuck

281
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: the world sort of a process, I was sort of

282
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: sitting back indignantly.

283
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 4: Like, you know, do your worst, like I don't care

284
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 4: to get together at which point?

285
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: And this is why I want to say this, because

286
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: I'll never forget the day. Would he, like Kevin Costner

287
00:12:53,400 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: in The Bodyguard, metaphorically flies in front of him and

288
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 1: flies in front of me by bursting into tears.

289
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 4: In this meeting room.

290
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 2: Full ugly tears like leave weren't even coming to me.

291
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: But instead of saying leave Britney alone, he said leave

292
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 1: well alone.

293
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 4: He actually did.

294
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: That was the line, what do you think you need?

295
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 3: War? And like fully balling mys that wasn't even like

296
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 3: a cute like single tear.

297
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 2: It was like fully balling mys out and it was funny.

298
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 3: And in my efforts to in my efforts to diffuse

299
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 3: the situation and like try and protect Will. Unfortunately, what

300
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 3: I was doing was very much showing.

301
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 4: That we were nowhere.

302
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 5: Like I think it was Monday, one of you blokes

303
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 5: was just started crying about getting a bit of feedback,

304
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 5: hard feedback.

305
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 4: Mate.

306
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 3: Then they were like, oh man, this is this is

307
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 3: bigger than we thought this, this is a bigger problem

308
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 3: that we thought.

309
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: There was, like what do you started going Lee Will alone,

310
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: which is beauty by the way, thank you, I appreciate that.

311
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 4: That's right.

312
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 2: Didn't help.

313
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 1: They were like you were actually saying that I'm okay,

314
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: making it worse. Yeah, Because I think at that point

315
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: Craig was like, all right in case in point, yeah yeah,

316
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: you guys are cooked.

317
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, stood up and walked out.

318
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.

319
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 3: I'll never forget that day as well, And I'm just

320
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 3: gonna I'm just going to piggyback on that story that was.

321
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 4: That was a day I never forget.

322
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: That was definitely, Yeah, the reason was a day I'll

323
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: never forget as well, because I think it was also

324
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: like this moment where you know, you're very privileged to

325
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: work in media and have a job in media, and

326
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: it's a long way to go for a big dog

327
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: like Craig Bruce, like for him to pick up and go.

328
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to go and just talk to the breakfast

329
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: sow about this issue. I remember thinking like maybe I

330
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: should stop taking the piss, which I think everyone kind

331
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: of as in their professional careers at some stage, maybe

332
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: a bit later for people. I think for us at

333
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: twenty two, there was a lot I was too young

334
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: to be on radio. Let's be honest, I was too

335
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: young to I was too young to be in the

336
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: public sphere, which led to a lot of issues for

337
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: me later down the track. But I remember at that

338
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: time thinking I really got to be responsible about my

339
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: job and who I am. And I don't know, it

340
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: was frustrating.

341
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 4: Do you get fired boys that day?

342
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 2: Or it was just to kick off the ass?

343
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: Like what was the consequence of that conversation?

344
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 4: Great question, Elch. We actually got a raise.

345
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 2: You know how it works for men in business? You

346
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 2: know you know how this works, ol.

347
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 4: J No, No, we didn't get fired.

348
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: I think it was very much a coming to Jesus

349
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: sort of a moment, which is what I'm talking about.

350
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: It was it was like, shit, Okay, we really need

351
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: to be responsible here now.

352
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 3: I think we turn We did turn it around somewhat

353
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 3: after that point. I think our Thursday Friday that week

354
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 3: was dynamite, was it. That was a turning point where

355
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 3: we did start to me and I think also just

356
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 3: from the personal perspectly from Heidi.

357
00:15:58,160 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: We sat down with Heidi and where we were like, yeah,

358
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: this is we're really fucking out of your life at

359
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: the moment. And it was because she would say to

360
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: us she knew she'd be like she'd come in and

361
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: she's like, fuck, you guys are ratchet again. And then

362
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: it kind of got to the point where we were like, okay, sorry,

363
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: we have been ratchet.

364
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, so yeah, we used to come in and just

365
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 3: like unshowered on a Monday therefore, and it was just like,

366
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 3: oh my god.

367
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: I would like I would like to I would like

368
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: fall asleep in the pre show meetings because I like

369
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: pretty much hadn't slept not all the time.

370
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 2: Can I say not all the time? It was it's

371
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 2: some good areas, But to your point out it very

372
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 2: very lucky.

373
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 3: We weren't incredibly lucky and very grateful for people that stood.

374
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: By us during that time, say like that, that's a

375
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: good point. As well, like the Craig.

376
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 4: Todd factor there to go, And that's.

377
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: Actually lesson I've taken through looking after or trying to

378
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: manage people and our teams going forward in general, is

379
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: like he just give people a chance rather than and

380
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: I know that.

381
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 4: Like it seems like they came down and its like

382
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 4: a ton of bricks.

383
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: They could have just gone, this is not it, but

384
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: they were like, this sucks, fix it, here's a chance.

385
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think I learned a lot from that.

386
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, one hundred percent. And also we're very lucky

387
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 3: that we got to get a lot of that let's

388
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 3: say wildness out of our systems. Yeah, because I mean,

389
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 3: gee whiz, we're not We're.

390
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 1: Not the first people in media to have a bit

391
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: of a blowout on the weekend. It sort of comes

392
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: with the territory, you know, Like they know that if

393
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: they're going to get these people in here with these

394
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,719
Speaker 1: personalities and effer vessence, they're going to get a bit

395
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: of wilderness on the site. And you probably want that,

396
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: but to a point controller you don't want to. Yeah,

397
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: and you know the rooms littered with other people who

398
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: have tipped themselves over the edge, and I don't need

399
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: to name names that we all know who those people

400
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: are who have enjoyed themselves outside of their media jobs.

401
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 2: There a certain footballer in Western Australia. I won't say

402
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 2: his name.

403
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 3: I was known as Now I'm not going to say

404
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 3: anything else, but he used to say they expect me

405
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,479
Speaker 3: to play like a demon during the games, but then

406
00:17:58,520 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 3: act like an angel on the weekend.

407
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 2: On the weekends, It's just that's just not.

408
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 4: The way I'm wired.

409
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 2: I'm all the time, I'm a demon all the time.

410
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 4: But I'm just going to do as much carry on.

411
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 3: Leads into that, I'm going to quickly piggyback. I know

412
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 3: I was going to pick the piggyback on my mat.

413
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 3: I'm never going to forget that because it's very much

414
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 3: tied in with that, just to show sort of where

415
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 3: we were at at that stage. I'll never forget the

416
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 3: time that it was Melbourne Cup Day and if you

417
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 3: if you know Melbourne Cup Day, it's on like a Tuesday,

418
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:27,400

00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 3: after doing the not doing it, didn't do the radio show,

423
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 3: and then we had this lunch.

424
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: No, I think we do the radio show because its

425
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: breakfast radio. So when you finished, breakfast Radio goes we did.

426
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: You finish at nine o'clock and then you do a

427
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: bit of planning or whatever and then you leave.

428
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 2: But again public holidays.

429
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 3: There was a real public holiday vibe long lunch, and

430
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 3: then I decided after the lunch that I wanted to

431
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 3: keep on having a lovely time and I was going

432
