Speaker 4: Good morning Blockbusters.

19
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 3: Yes you can got me, Professor Osha, thank you very much.

20
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 4: Sorry.

21
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 3: So this is so the best way to think about

22
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 3: this film is that it will do to Violin Davis,

23
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 3: who is an amazing actress.

24
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 4: She is phenomenal.

25
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 3: It will do to her what Gladiator did to Russell Crowe. Right,

26
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 3: So it's just like Gladiator. The Woman King is Sword

27
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 3: and Sandal, epic loosely based on history, and it gives

28
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 3: the lead actor, in the case of the Woman King,

29
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 3: it's Viola Davis, the chance to really shine, Like she's

30
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 3: going to get genuine Oscar buzz for this performance because

31
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 3: she is awesome as always in a role that has

32
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 3: a ton of action, Like there is a serious, serious

33
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 3: action and even just the idea of a major Hollywood

34
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 3: blockbuster being built around a fifty seven year old black woman, yeah,

35
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 3: you go back a few years, that's unheard of, and

36
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 3: she is ripped. She is absolutely badass in this movie.

37
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 3: But also, like Gladiator, there's a lot of pathos going

38
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 3: on here as well, right, Like there's a lot of

39
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 3: trauma that the lead character has to get over and

40
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 3: deal with. So there's also some pretty serious acting from

41
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 3: her as well. So let's rewind a little bit, and

42
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 3: so this movie is set in the Kingdom of Dahome,

43
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 3: which was in Africa like from around about the seventeenth

44
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 3: to nineteenth century. It exists a real place and it

45
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 3: was famous for having this army of elite all female warriors.

46
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 3: It sounds like something that a Hollywood scriptwriter would come

47
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 3: up with, but it was absolutely true. When the first

48
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,839
Speaker 3: kind of European colonizers arrived in Africa. They encountered this

49
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 3: all female army and they thought they were like the Amazons.

50
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 3: They thought this is a real life, the real life

51
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 3: Amazon women. And so the movie is about Viola Davis

52
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 3: who plays Naniska, the General of the Gooji, which is

53
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 3: the name for these all female fighting force, and they're

54
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 3: the defenders of the crown. They defend King Gezo, who's

55
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 3: played by John Boyeger who's from the Star Wars, the

56
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 3: New Star Wars movies, Force Awakens and Last Jedi and

57
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 3: all that, and so their job is to protect the

58
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 3: kingdom and defend it from the Oyo Empire, which is

59
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 3: a neighboring country. And this Oyo Empire have been raiding Dahoma,

60
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 3: capturing their citizens and selling them to European slave traders,

61
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 3: which is something that happened in Africa back then. And

62
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 3: so it sets up this drama where you've got one

63
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 3: kingdom kind of fighting against slavery, the bad guys, which

64
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 3: are the Oyo Empire trying to facilitate slavery, and then

65
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 3: of course you've got the European slave traders as well,

66
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 3: who are obviously the baddies too. And then making it

67
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 3: even more interesting is the kind of the internal conflicts

68
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 3: that happen within the Egoji, and so that is basically

69
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 3: around the relationship between Naniska played by Viola Davis, and

70
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 3: this young warrior named Nawi, who's kind of like the

71
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 3: onng New character who comes in as a rookie after

72
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 3: being given away by her dad because she was kind

73
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 3: of too spirited and didn't want to accept a kind

74
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 3: of forced marriage, kind of one of those deals, and

75
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 3: so she's forced to become an Agoji and decides, do

76
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 3: you know what, I'm going to become the best of

77
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 3: all of them, even if that means coming into conflict

78
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 3: with Naniska. And now Nawi is played by a South

79
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 3: African actress named Thusobado who's amazing. She's really awesome. But

80
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 3: as this relationship between Naniska and Nawi develops, there's some

81
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 3: stuff in their shared past that makes it even more

82
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 3: complicated and some real, real serious drama going on there.

83
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 3: And now there's also some fantastic performances from the other

84
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 3: Agoji warriors. Lashana Lynch, who we've seen as Maria Rambo

85
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 3: in Captain Marvel and she was also in Doctor Strange

86
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 3: in the Multiverse of Manners. She is absolutely awesome, and

87
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 3: she deserves a major role sometime soon. But then, the

88
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 3: interesting thing about this film is the historical context, which

89
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 3: is so it paints kind of the warriors of Dahome,

90
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 3: the Agoji, as these heroes, right, but in real life,

91
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 3: historians say that the Egoji probably only existed to capture

92
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 3: people to sell them to European slave traders. So basically

93
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 3: the opposite to how this movie pitched it, and Dahome

94
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 3: was actually probably the worst kingdom when it came to

95
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 3: cooperating with European slave traders. But so, what's happened here

96
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 3: is a Hollywood Someone from Hollywood has traveled through Africa

97
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 3: come across the story of the Egoji and thought, wow,

98
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 3: what an amazing movie. This would be some peskyket some.

99
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 2: Pesky facclay the truth way story.

100
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 3: Which is a classic Hollywood thing, so to be like

101
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 3: making a movie about Genghis Khan or Vikings and saying

102
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 3: what great guys they were were going around raping and

103
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 3: pillaging all the time. So there's a little bit of

104
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 3: that going on. But you know, it's so rare that

105
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 3: you see, as we've said, a movie that's an African

106
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: story in a big Hollywood blockbuster, and an African women's

107
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 3: story like this just doesn't happen right with a fifty

108
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 3: seven year old So you can maybe for you maybe

109
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 3: forgive a little bit of revisionist history because it is

110
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 3: such a groundbreaking film. Interestingly, and this is a fun

111
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 3: fact for Marvel fans. So this film The Woman King

112
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 3: probably doesn't get made if it wasn't for the success

113
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 3: of Black Panther Back into Right, which kind of opened

114
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 3: the door for black stories to be told in a

115
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 3: big way in Hollywood. And the all female warriors in

116
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 3: Black Panther were actually based on the Agoji in this movie.

117
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 4: It's a fun fact to come back.

118
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 2: Okay, how many stars are you giving it?

119
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 3: Well, like there is it's a bit problematic from a

120
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 3: historical perspective, but you know, I think you can move

121
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 3: past it because it's a very very interesting true story

122
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 3: that it's based on. I'm going to give this one

123
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 3: three and a half stars.

124
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,239

138
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 4: Yes over the years over the US.

139
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: Yeah one we cranky, Yeah, quite often funny u uah, that's.

140
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: I was about to say. It usually made us laugh

141
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 2: and that made them even crankier. But we want to

142
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,239
Speaker 2: ask you, do you work with a crank are their complaints?

146
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: good to see. And you're right. When it becomes a

147
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: thing where they actually know that they're known as the

148
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: cranky person, it becomes a thing of humor, which helps

149
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: get everybody through the situation.

150

00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 6: particular guy who was talking to him was giving him

159
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 6: a story, but he didn't have back up behind, so

160
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 6: it's just a start information. Anyway, he called him out

161
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 6: and as a guy is leaving office, he's let off

162
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 6: a few expletes and then picked up his computer and

163
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 6: through it, which hit the wall just as I'm walking

164
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 6: down the corridor. So oh yeah, yeah, he didn't stick

165
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 6: around much much longer after that he got the door,

166
00:07:58,640 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 6: but very very crank.

167
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 4: That noise turned a few heads in the office there, Andrew, I.

168
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 6: Bet well that's certainly guaranteed his reputation.

169
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 4: That's cranky.

170
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: Tell you what, I've always wanted to throw a computer

171
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: off the balcony, you know when they're not working properly.

172
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: For you, which is every time I use one.

173
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 6: But remember this is this is twenty five years ago,

174
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 6: walking the laptop small.

175
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 4: This is the big real McCoy.

176
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 6: It's like anyway, picking up Bill Gates and the whole.

177
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 4: Cranky colin.

178
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: One thing that we've been robbed off in the last

179
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: couple of years with a lot of people working from

180
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: home is you don't get to spend as much time

181
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: with the cranky ones.

182
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 2: You don't get to talk them and tease them.

183
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, just those little tiny things where you poke, right,

184
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: it's a bear in the office.

185
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fun to poke the bear.

186
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 4: Absolutely until it's not.

187
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 2: Graham and Brabham, are you the crank?

188
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 1: I am indeed all right, wear it proud.

189
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 2: Give us an example.

190
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 4: What are your traits? Graham?

191
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 7: Well as the previous all I said, I don't suffer

192
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 7: fools very well. So I've had several roles where I've

193
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 7: had to deal with people like salespeople and things like that.

194
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 7: I took in their sales orders, and salespeople aren't that

195
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 7: great at filling out paperwork. Made my job a lot

196
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 7: harder to try and to cipher incorrect or inaccurate paperwork.

197
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 7: Whenever they were dropping their paperwork off that had to

198
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 7: sit in they nicknamed the hot seats the desk from me.

199
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 7: In my current role, I work in the construction industry

200
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 7: predominantly commercial, and what I do are usually working on

201
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 7: unprotected edges, so there's a fairly decent drop on where

202
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 7: I'm working. So I'm barricading, barricade things I've put on

203
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 7: my harness, and then you'll get people just wandering up

204
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 7: and downstairs and things like that on an unprotected edge,

205
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 7: which is unsafe. So it tends to get me a

206
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 7: bit upset at times.

207
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with being cranky for someone's safety and

208
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 2: for the whole I mean the whole, not suffering fools,

209
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 2: you know, idea absolutely, Oh, there would just be a

210
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 2: whole lot of foolish crap going on in the world.

211
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 2: If we are suffered the fools, I would like to

212
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 2: see it brought back there.

213
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: And Graham, do you know if any stage you've had

214
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: a nickname is the cranky go at work?

215
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, Snapper, awesome Snapper gram and one and one job.

216
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 7: The job that I was dealing with salespeople, I got

217
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 7: presented with a plark saying, don't poke the.

218
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 2: Bear because the bear pokes back. Snapper bangs Grame, Snapper.

219
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 4: That's great, Snapper, Foster.

220
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 2: The Restler, hospital, young restless, whichever.

221
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 4: Sure reports on six.

222
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 2: Amazon Prime is All Today prequel series to the twenty

223
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 2: sixteen adult animated comedy Sausage Party.

224
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 4: Ohay, you watch Sausage Party. I haven't seen Sausage Pan.

225
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 2: I think the best bits were in the shorts.

226
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 4: It didn't get an invited the Sausage Plan.

227
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 2: It's called Sausage Party food Topia, and several original cast

228
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 2: members are involved. Seth Rogen, Christen Wig, Michael Sarah and

229
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: Ed Norton are all on board. The original movie was

230
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: an high rated hit, grossing around two hundred and seventeen

231
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 2: million dollars against a reported budget of twenty nine million,

232
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: so it did very well. Meantime, it looks like Malcolm

233
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 2: in the Middle might be the next TV show getting

234
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 2: the reboot work. Frankie Mounis, who played Malcolm played Malcolm,

235
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 2: has revealed that not only as a revival in the works,

236
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 2: it's being led by his sitcom dad, Brian Cranston, who

237
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 2: was apparently writing the script as we speak. Nice Ed

238
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 2: Sheeran has revealed a documentary about his life as in

239
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: the works. Do we need this yet? Not sure what

240
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 2: we do, he says, after a big conversation about what

241
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 2: to include. They've started filming it and Game of Thrones

242
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 2: author George A. Ra Mutton has shared an update on

243
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 2: the progress of The Winds of Winter, book number six

244
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 2: in the series. Fans will know this is extremely significant

245
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 2: because of the terrible way the TV show ended. It

246
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 2: was because they made the show quicker than he was

247
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 2: able to write the books, so that disappointing ending didn't

248
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 2: actually come from George, and the diehards couldn't half tell.

249
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 2: Everyone else couldn't half tell either, So when he finishes

250
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 2: this book, we should get the gott ending it deserves.

251
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: Sound very good, Moor Lisa More podcasts soon ninety six.

252
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: Well, the Perth Firefighters calendar launch is coming up on Friday,

Speaker 5: to you as well.

259
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: Yes, oh that's pretty cool. Yeah, how's the whole experience been?

260
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: Is this something you often get photographed for calendars, you know,

261
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: something in your life.

262
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 5: No, this is the very first time I've participated in it.

263
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 5: But I have to say I have enjoyed the whole experience.

264
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 5: It's a lot of fun and a great team to

265
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 5: work with this year as well.

266
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 2: Because the launch night is a big show. It's not

267
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 2: just well, here's the calendar, let's flip through it. You

268
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 2: guys do a whole choreographed it's just but it goes

269
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 2: further and further out of your comforitzator as we go,

270
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 2: doesn't it. Yeah, that's right.

271
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 5: So each page will do their own performance, but then

272
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 5: we all come together and do group performances. So it

273
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 5: is guaranteed, guaranteed to be a really entertaining evening for

274
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 5: everyone there.

275
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: How many years has the calendar been coming out for now,

276
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: do you guys know?

277
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 8: Yeah? Sixteen years?

278
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 2: Sixteen years. Great.

279
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 8: I've raised a total of one point five million over

280
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 8: those sixteen years.

281
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 1: That is isn't that incredible for the hospital and that

282
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: and the people with their families, with kiddies getting burnt

283
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. It's so awful, But that money

284
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: is so invaluable over that period of time.

285
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, And I think that's why we all chose to

286
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 8: get behind it, because it has provided those funds and

287
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 8: the support of all the firefighters over those years. It's

288
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 8: all volunteer based, so yeah, good good charity to get

289
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 8: behind and the support of the public has always made

290
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 8: it possible as well. So hopefully this year that we

291
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 8: get that same support and continue stronger than ever.

292
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 2: Is that your greatest nightmare to get a call to

293
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 2: a fire and then there's a suggestion that there could

294
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 2: be some children involved. Oh?

295
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 5: Absolutely. Any time that you hear life involvement in an incident,

296
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 5: you know, that just gets the heart rate going, and

297
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 5: it's what we don't want to encounter at any job

298
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 5: that we go to.

299
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, what was it like as far as the actual

300
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: photos were concerned? Was it nerve wracking for either of you?

301
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: You know, because we all get fussy and picky and

302
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: critical self critical with photos.

303
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 4: Don't we.

304
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 5: Everyone had worked really really hard to get themselves looking fantastic,

305
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 5: totally buff. So the participants in the shoot are of

306
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 5: course firefighters, but the photographer was a firefighter. The people

307
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 5: that put their calendar together they're firefighters. So it was

308
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 5: a really fantastic team effort. It was a relaxed day,

309
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 5: a lot of fun.

310
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's pretty much giggling.

311
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think the photo shoots almost the easy part,

312
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 8: like you said, the launch night in there. The dancing

313
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 8: in front of people is probably the more daunting part

314
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 8: of it for us.

315
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 4: Getting up in.

316
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 8: Front of a fair fair crowd and trying to dance,

317
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 8: which definitely isn't my strong suit, in front of people

318
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 8: with not much clothing on's definitely a bit more daunting.

319
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 4: So there's the crowd. I think they were at a

320
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 4: full monthing night. That definitely won't be.

321
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 2: No, I can guarantee that won't be. It's quite a

322
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 2: diverse calendar this year. Yeah, we have three females.

323
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 5: There's nineteen people participating in it all up Yeah, to

324
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 5: station offices.

325
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 2: It's interesting because it's only twelve months. Well what's going

326
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: on there?

327
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, I've got three from Albany who.

328
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 2: Know this car? Right?

329
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 4: Sixty year old?

330
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, fair age range as well.

331
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 4: Okay, we're looking better than all of us.

332
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: That's very cool, very cool. Hey, well, at least when

333
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: I get asked do we pick the music on the radio?

334
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: What time do you get up in the morning? But

335
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: what are the questions that you get asked as firefighters?

336
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: One of the things that come out most and you know, first.

337
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 5: Questions I think one of the more common ones is

338
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 5: how many fires do you actually go to? Oh yeah, okay,

339
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 5: But that's the thing about this job. It's so unpredictable,

340
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 5: and no two days are ever the same, so you

341
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 5: could have a really quiet day and then roll into

342
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 5: a really busy day the next day. Yeah, but that's

343
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 5: one of the appeals at the job to me going

344
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 5: to work and just not knowing what each day has

345
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 5: in store.

346
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 2: I would imagine one of the appeals also would be

347
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: it's one of those jobs that has such an incredible

348
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 2: camaraderie that it would be like a real family. I mean,

349
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: first of all, because you are absolutely putting each other's

350
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 2: lives in each other's hands for trust. But then there's

351
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 2: all that downtime that you sometimes have where you just

352
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 2: hanging out together and you know, you can't wash the

353
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 2: truck all day longer.

354
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 4: No, that's right, I polished to within in's life. Yeah, yeah, definitely.

355
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 8: Managing that downtime is a challenge sometimes because you don't

356
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 8: know when calls are going to happen.

357
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 4: So of course it is a bit of a home

358
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 4: life as well.

359
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 8: We cook together, we go to the gym together, we

360
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 8: studied together, we trained together in that downtimes and also

361
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 8: try and get a bit of community engagement happening and

362
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 8: school visits, building inspections, all those sorts of activities as well.

363
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 8: So there's plenty to fill your day with. But like

364
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 8: people said that, no two days are the same, which

365
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 8: is probably.

366
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 2: The Have you ever rescued a cat from a tree?

367
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 2: That's fifty percent?

368
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 8: I've got a bird in the tree once you got

369
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 8: a bird.

370
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: From Yeah, yeah, okay.

371
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 2: What's the most important question? Where can people This will

372
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 2: be after November eleven. Where can people get their hands

373
00:17:59,560 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 2: on the calor?

374
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,640
