Speaker 1: So what have you touched? You touch something interesting? What

34
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: is it?

35
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 4: I've touched the biggest flour in the world. It's called

36
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 4: the Raphaelesia Analdi and it's in the rainforests of Saba

37
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 4: in Indonesia.

38
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 2: I didn't know there was somewhere in the world there's

39
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: the world's largest flower.

40
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: How big is it?

41
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 4: It's about a meter across and ways about seven in QA.

42
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 2: And so like a tourist attraction, you went on a

43
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: three hour sort of six hour round trip to see

44
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: the big flower.

45
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 4: No, it's not a tourist attraction. They only open it

46
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 4: up to a certain amount of people every year because

47
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 4: they try and keep the rainforest intact, so it's pretty limited.

48
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: What did you win?

49
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,399
Speaker 2: It was it like a lotto thing on TV and

50
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: this week's winning division.

51
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: It's me Jeanette.

52
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 4: No, we're on holiday, and I got, as I do,

53
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 4: I sort of talk to anyone and got talking to

54
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 4: one of the locals and they said, and the flower,

55
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 4: it only flowers once in its lifetime. So they said,

56
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 4: at the moment, there was one flowering up in the

57
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 4: in the rainforest, and I want to see it. And

58
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 4: I'm like, well, this sounds a bit dodgy, but okay,

59
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 4: I'm wondering if I was.

60
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 3: Going to come back.

61
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 2: I've been offered all kind of strange her flowers and

62
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 2: stuff that various beaches.

63
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 4: What I said, yeah, okay, so off we went and yeah, amazing, amazing.

64
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 2: So describe it to us. We're never going to to

65
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: see the world's large at flower.

66
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: What color is it? Is it bright colors? Vivid?

67
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, vivid reds and blacks and yellows.

68
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. This one remark of where it's got no stem

69
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: or root or something. It's just like hovering. We're not

70
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: hovering in the air. But it just sits there lovely.

71
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 5: It does It obviously doesn't.

72
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 4: Well, it doesn't have like it doesn't grow from. It

73
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 4: doesn't have like leaves and like a stem source thing

74
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 4: that grows up.

75
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 6: It just grows.

76
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: I think this is a tourist corn, isn't it. It's

77
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: someone dressed up. It's just dis mate. Crouch down lower.

78
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: Next time we could see your shoes.

79
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 4: It sounds beautiful, but it's actually not very pretty.

80
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: Do you know what? There's a phone into our about

81
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: at that's jet lovely cool you take care, Thanks to

82
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: co on the show. Thanks all right, David, good morning.

83
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 6: Yes, groning Christian. I've been where no one else has

84
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 6: been before. I've flown a plane over an active volcano

85
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 6: in Umi.

86
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: You've flown a plane over an active volcano.

87
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 6: Yes, I was up there working and we charted the

88
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 6: plane and he flew it over the crater. Were allowed

89
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 6: to then, and two weeks after that fluids lived. You

90
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 6: know well we could smell was the sulfur and look

91
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 6: down and see the larvae like like in a washing machine,

92
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 6: were just turning around in the bottom. And oh it

93
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 6: was amazing.

94
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what.

95
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 2: We hope that Sir David Attenborough lives on for many,

96
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 2: many more years. But when he does finally leave this planet,

97
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: water great, We've got we found his predecessor describing an

98
00:04:49,720 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 2: active volcano is like a washing machine.

99
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 6: And the aroma off the sulfur was certainly it was

100
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 6: like clear your head.

101
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been near.

102
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 2: When I say near, quite a few comments from an

103
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: active volcano. But when you say you fly over it,

104
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 2: I don't think that's a good one. As if the

105
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 2: plane has a problem and you've got to land it

106
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 2: and you land in a big old active volcano, you're dead.

107
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: You're gone.

108
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 6: Well, it was in the middle of the island around

109
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 6: all that is dead because of the soulfurro mat so

110
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 6: there's plenty of places without yourself.

111
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 5: But don't you're worried that like a molten rock will spin.

112
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: Out and he's in Australium. The last person over that

113
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: would be an AUSSI.

114
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: Should be right.

115
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 6: It didn't spin any rocks. It was just just smoke

116
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 6: pouring out of it. And you can see the actual

117
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 6: red lava in the and.

118
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: Couldn't sit with your own eyes. Could you feel the

119
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 2: heat from where you were any playing or not?

120
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 6: No, it wasn't it was. I mean, again, he's pretty hot, inyhore,

121
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 6: but there wasn't any much heat coming out of it.

122
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 6: Because you know you're not through it very long law

123
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 6: and you're going spoo, you going.

124
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: Hanging around, you doing a couple of that closer.

125
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 6: We sure we're above the room of the crowders, so

126
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 6: we didn't go doing any dop and there and there's

127
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 6: a closer look.

128
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: Incredible, all right, David, thank you very much. She cool.

129
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 6: Thank you very much, Christian, I have a good diet.

130
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: You take care of mate. Kelly. Good morning.

131
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 7: Hi, Hi Kristin. Good to be here. I love the show,

132
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 7: so thank you. I've been somewhere really cool that not

133
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 7: many people have been.

134
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: Where's that?

135
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 7: So?

136
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 4: In Egypt?

137
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 7: I went to the tomb of the Scorpion King.

138
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,239
Speaker 2: Wow, most people just think it's a big old movie.

139
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:42,799
Speaker 2: Was schooling King? If I'm correct?

140
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 6: Right?

141
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 2: I love Egyptian history. Wasn't this the original or the

142
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: first ruler of Upper Egypt?

143
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 7: You are absolutely right, yes. So an archaeologist was excavating

144
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 7: the site, and I was an archaeology student, and I

145
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 7: was lucky enough to go there right before they covered

146
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 7: it back over, and he let us hold all the objects.

147
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 7: So I held some seals and some different pieces from

148
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 7: the tomb of the Scorpion King.

149
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: That's incredible. So what did they find?

150
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 7: It was mostly well, they found the tomb itself, and

151
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 7: around the tomb was all of the servants were actually

152
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 7: killed and put in tombs around him.

153
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: That's how I'll go. I'll take this whole team with me.

154
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: We're going to say they were started looking at the.

155
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 2: Floor, going, I wondering that it's Egyptian history. He's planning

156
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 2: the big own. You can come with me to our

157
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 2: next radio, come in my tomb, and when you shay

158
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 2: the tomb and all that's preserved, remind me. But how

159
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 2: many years?

160
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:50,000
