The ringmaster 9 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 2: of this circus is none other than Rove McManus. 10 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: Hello, Rove, good morning, favorite people. How are you well? Good? 11 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 3: Thanks Mane. Hang on, what sort of show is this? 12 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 3: It accepts the caliber of us. 13 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 2: Well, let's ask what the hell is it? 14 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: Well, if there's anything we need, it's to class up 15 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: the Opera House with YouTube. It's called Slide Night, and 16 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: I look. One of the things that I have been 17 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: enjoying about telling people about the show is explaining what 18 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: a Slide Night is. But I feel most of your 19 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: listeners might already know. In the day, when you would 20 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: take photos, you'd get them put into like a special 21 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: sort of rejector. So you'd come back from a trip 22 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: and you would on a screen usually in the backyard 23 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: on a sheet. Possibly you would show your holidays and people. 24 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 2: Would watch them. People would sit there and look at 25 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 2: your holiday snaps. 26 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you couldn't take a thousand photos on a 27 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: phone or anything. You had to be very particular about 28 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: which photos you would take and of what and where. 29 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: And then you would sit there and you would just 30 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: go through one by one and say, oh, yes, this 31 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: was day one and we're at this beach, and here's 32 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: the two of us at this location. Well, what we're 33 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: going to be doing is taking very real slides that 34 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 1: you get from up shops and from audience members who'll 35 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: come to the show, and then our comedy performers and 36 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: guest performers will have to pretend that they are their 37 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 1: slides from their holidays that they went on, and so 38 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: it's all improvised mayhem. There are games and rules involved, 39 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: but that's pretty much the basic much can you rubbish 40 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: your way through a slides night that is not. 41 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 3: Your I love that you've heard, you've heard our radio 42 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 3: show rope you. 43 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 2: Can crap on, But I think it'd be brilliant at it. 44 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 2: Isn't it interesting? The idea of the slide night because 45 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 2: it was the most exciting thing. Someone would come back 46 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 2: from overseas orherever, and you're excited as a child to 47 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 2: watch your aunt and uncle slides that mostly were landscapes. 48 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 2: People weren't even in them, and we'd sit there and 49 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 2: that was a night's entertainment. 50 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, we would. We had a box of them that 51 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 1: we were going through just the other day that someone 52 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: had just got from an up shop and there was 53 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: just random buildings and a beach, and you know, every 54 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,679 Speaker 1: day and again suddenly there's just oh, it's a top 55 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: person on a beach. It's such a it makes no sense. Oh. 56 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: And to sit there thinking, as you would be going 57 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,399 Speaker 1: through this slide night, someone would be legitimately saying, yes, 58 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,239 Speaker 1: here's this wonderful old building, and they would talk you 59 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: through the history of the building. And that's where the 60 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 1: fun comes in because well, in reality, the person showing 61 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: you these photos would know the history behind why they 62 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: took them and what it is. We're adding the fun 63 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: element of will know. The person who will be doing 64 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: that delivering that information actually has no idea making it 65 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: a spot. 66 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,239 Speaker 3: That's good because my mother she converted all the slides 67 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 3: into like a USB, so now it rotates on the TV. 68 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 3: But in that, in that selection of slides, there's a 69 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 3: topless shot of her seventies and at the shops. No, 70 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 3: they just I don't know, I don't know what.

But anyway, the kids they also think, man, 73 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 3: we're not going to see nana's bosoms again. And it's 74 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 3: like this, it's like Russian roulette. You don't know what's 75 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 3: going to come up. You got I made.
