Speaker 1: People do some weird shit.
Speaker 2: Would you like to try vape?
Speaker 3: Why would you take up something that is going to
Speaker 3: be addictive and expensive?
Speaker 2: I think that people.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Yeah, because you're young and stupid,
Speaker 1: some things make more sense than others. You mentioned that
Speaker 1: your goal was to be healthy, and I just don't know.
Speaker 4: How can you figure that's going to happen when you're
Speaker 4: ordering a chocolate moose?
Speaker 5: No, you know.
Speaker 1: I had it in the car on the way home
Speaker 1: and I didn't have a spood, so I was like
Speaker 1: an hour a dillo trying to get ants out of
Speaker 1: a hole.
Speaker 6: Bless yourself for the rude shocks of young adults food.
Speaker 1: Being fingered as an awful sensation. Given't been thinking about
Speaker 1: the right persons. Goodness, Mass is just still to play
Speaker 1: a couple of mitches.
Speaker 7: Hi, it's Jenna.
Speaker 3: Please don't forget to include my name in the opener
Speaker 3: this season.
Speaker 1: Sorry Now he is Mitch Trulli and Mitchell kub Hello everyone, Hello,
Speaker 1: Mitchell coumb's great to see you here.
Speaker 4: And God, there is a weird energy in the air today,
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 1: And you almost picked up mercury in retrograde. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Mercury is in retrograde until you tell me. You're my
Speaker 1: benchmark for when it's happening. And the world since our
Speaker 1: last episode a lot has changed in a week.
Speaker 4: I was not referring to that. I was referring to
Speaker 4: the fact that, at the time of record, today is
Speaker 4: the day that Queen Elizabeth passed away.
Speaker 1: And you know what, it's raining, I know, and you
Speaker 1: know what, I'm actually sad. I wouldn't call myself a monarchist,
Speaker 1: but I love the Queen and she served her country
Speaker 1: for seventy years. She's a gorgeous little thing, and I'm
Speaker 1: genuinely upset by it. It's so sad.
Speaker 4: I mean, we all knew that it was coming in
Speaker 4: a way, but yet it's still just a very weird
Speaker 4: thing to happen. I can't believe it. I've never known
Speaker 4: life without the Queen. You know, people, our age, I know, and.
Speaker 1: All the changes that are going to have to happen.
Speaker 1: I was reading an article right because King Charles is
Speaker 1: now his reign has officially started. All the banknotes will change,
Speaker 1: all the coens will have to change. Oh really, yeah,
Speaker 1: it all has to I mean not immediately. The Mint's
Speaker 1: not gonna you know, start going to melt down and
Speaker 1: melting all the old queens. But my mom said to me,
Speaker 1: go to Westpac and you want to get five fives,
Speaker 1: two twenties, ten tens because they've all got the queen
Speaker 1: on them. And she's like, in ten years they'll be
Speaker 1: worth millions. It's not a bad idea, really.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 2: I hadn't thought about that, No, it is.
Speaker 1: It's so sad. And did you see that photo of
Speaker 1: her a couple of days ago when she was in
Speaker 1: Balmoral Castle swearing in the new PM.
Speaker 4: I know, like she looked so frail, alarmingly frail, but
Speaker 4: she also looked very present and happy, you know what
Speaker 4: I mean. So it was kind of like she was
Speaker 4: just serving until the very end, which is nice in
Speaker 4: a way. You know how they always say you never
Speaker 4: forget where you were when xyz'd happened, you know, when
Speaker 4: Princess Diana died nine to eleven, things like that. People
Speaker 4: always say, you'll never forget where you were when the
Speaker 4: queen died, and I certainly won't. I was hanging out
Speaker 4: with my friend Andrew, who the news reporter, as you know,
Speaker 4: and so when that announcement came out, saying they're concerned
Speaker 4: for her health and she's under medical supervision. Oh, he
Speaker 4: just had to spring into action as a reporter. He's
Speaker 4: on the phone bookingccommodation in bal Moral. He's like, where's
Speaker 4: my black tie? We just dropped everything when this news
Speaker 4: came out, and I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 2: There was just this weird energy in there that was like, Okay,
Speaker 2: this is it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because she's probably been sick on and off plenty
Speaker 4: of times, but for them to actually announce it, it
Speaker 4: was like, yeah, this is it.
Speaker 1: Also, the journalist in the BBC when they announced that
Speaker 1: that she was under medical supervision changed to black suits,
Speaker 1: black tie. Is Andrew going over? Is he flying over
Speaker 1: there to bow Morral?
Speaker 4: No, he was booking accommodation for all the you know,
Speaker 4: europe correspondents all stuff, because they were traveling to be
Speaker 4: their asap. So he was having to just you know,
Speaker 4: take one for the team, calling all these places in
Speaker 4: bal Moral saying hello, do.
Speaker 2: You have accommodation available? And they're like, this is.
Speaker 1: The fourith caller we've had today.
Speaker 4: It was instant, instant everyone, and this is like, moments
Speaker 4: after it came out.
Speaker 1: You should have called me, dot should have called dot Is.
Speaker 1: She was born in Edinburgh, so she has connections. But anyway,
Speaker 1: that's for you know, for the next Head of States passing.
Speaker 4: It feels weird, I have to say doing the podcast
Speaker 4: today because obviously we're idiots and it's hard to talk
Speaker 4: about the Queene and not be distasteful about it. But
Speaker 4: you know, we're just going to do our thing today.
Speaker 4: We've always been a bit of a light escape for people.
Speaker 4: We're not going to do heavy world news. We're just
Speaker 4: going to soldier on as normal. But no, it's definitely
Speaker 4: a weird vibe at the moment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we know Princess Beatrice is a fan of
Speaker 1: the show and she listens to the podcast, so we're
Speaker 1: sending our love to you, Breachrice and thank you for
Speaker 1: the support and continue. She just brought a season three mug.
Speaker 1: She sent me a photo in balmor and look, the
Speaker 1: yellow really matched the custard that's in the house everywhere.
Speaker 1: So thank you, Beatrice. I'm thinking of the royal family.
Speaker 1: It really is. It's a crazy day. Anyway, we should
Speaker 1: power through. Do the show. If it is your first
Speaker 1: time listening, what a first show. Imagine this being the
Speaker 1: first show the death of Queen Elizabeth. We start the
Speaker 1: show the same way every single week too. Is it
Speaker 1: just me? Something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate.
Speaker 1: Mitch doesn't know mine, I don't know Mitch's and we
Speaker 1: see where we land mine is mine is something that
Speaker 1: does relate to this show, but again it's food related. Essentially,
Speaker 1: it's food related. Of course, it's always linked to food
Speaker 1: with me at the end of the day.
Speaker 4: Well, I know, I said that we're going to carry
Speaker 4: on and do business as usual, not dwell on the
Speaker 4: queen's death too much. But my is it just me?
Speaker 4: Is kind of related to that, So maybe I should
Speaker 4: go first.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you start, you start before we do that. There
Speaker 1: is also a TV thing's coming up because we lost
Speaker 1: another queen this week. I'm Australian TV legend.
Speaker 4: I know that we said that last week. It was
Speaker 4: possibly our worst episode. I might be jumping the gun,
Speaker 4: but we're doing the top five Tracy Grimshaw moments, so
Speaker 4: it could easily be our best episode.
Speaker 1: She's an you know, I've never told a Tracy Grimshaw story.
Speaker 1: I've had one running with Tracy, two running with Tracy
Speaker 1: Grimshaw and it was one of the best. Like celebrity
Speaker 1: interactions I've ever had. So I'll talk to you about
Speaker 1: that coming up because.
Speaker 2: I have one too, but we'll get to that later on.
Speaker 1: All right, let's start. You go first, Let's get yours
Speaker 1: out of the way with your regim.
Speaker 4: All right, hit it, Bradley, Is it just me? Have
Speaker 4: you never seen an open casket?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 1: Goodness, I haven't. I've had the opportunity to, and I down.
Speaker 1: They said, no, I haven't.
Speaker 4: No, have you No, I've never had the option. I
Speaker 4: actually haven't been too many funerals, to be honest, which
Speaker 4: is a good thing.
Speaker 1: Touch would That's a good thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah? And who was it that you could have seen?
Speaker 1: Okay, so Gonzo? Who's my grandfather. We called him Gonzo
Speaker 1: because he had a big nose like the Sesame Street character.
Speaker 1: He died. My grandfather died. It was tragic, the first
Speaker 1: big death in my life. We loved him so much.
Speaker 1: And when he died, died of natural causes. His body
Speaker 1: was fucking say that he died of cankeles. Yes, that's
Speaker 1: the one that I told. He died of cankles.
Speaker 2: You're a confused little child.
Speaker 1: Clearly, it was awful. It was awful, And they offered
Speaker 1: to show the family the body because he died in
Speaker 1: a hospital.
Speaker 4: So it wasn't like at the funeral, like a formal
Speaker 4: viewing of him in the cop and it was just
Speaker 4: at the hospital.
Speaker 1: No, this was at the This was at the funeral home.
Speaker 1: So obviously they take them, they clean them up, and
Speaker 1: they put they put him in a suit. They went
Speaker 1: to NaN's house and they picked out his favorite suit.
Speaker 1: And they do make they do hair and makeup, and
Speaker 1: they make you look gorgeous and they look make you
Speaker 1: look like you're asleep. That's the goal, because that's what
Speaker 1: Mum and dad said. They go, it'll look like he's sleeping.
Speaker 1: Do you want to come and say goodbye? Because we
Speaker 1: didn't get to have a goodbye? And I said no,
Speaker 1: and a lot of the other cousins said yes. They
Speaker 1: all went anyway, They all came back and yeah, my
Speaker 1: mum said that it was she regrets doing it because
Speaker 1: it was very confronting.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like I wouldn't want people to see
Speaker 4: me like that. I'd want them to have fond memories
Speaker 4: of me looking fucking hot, Like I don't trust someone
Speaker 4: else to do my hair and makeup beyond the grave,
Speaker 4: like they'll do it all wrong, and I'd be like, no,
Speaker 4: I wouldn't want to look like that.
Speaker 1: Why don't we have a vow that if you ever
Speaker 1: were to die young, I will come in and give
Speaker 1: you like a little wingtip, like a beauty tip, eyeliner,
Speaker 1: and I could do a bit of rouge on. I
Speaker 1: know you skincare routine down Pat, I know what you
Speaker 1: use the clinque.
Speaker 2: Well, I certainly don't wear eyeliner and shit like that.
Speaker 2: So no, I don't think I do trust you with this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, do not trust me.
Speaker 4: But anyway, the reason I bring it up is because
Speaker 4: not long ago, Liz Hayes did a TV special all
Speaker 4: about Operation London Bridge, which is what happens immediately after
Speaker 4: Queen Elizabeth passes away, and apparently the Queen was quiet,
Speaker 4: hands on and deciding how they handle that, and it
Speaker 4: was all a well oiled machine in the following ten minutes.
Speaker 4: So her secretary calls the Prime Minister and says London
Speaker 4: Bridge is down. And then from their pre since Charles
Speaker 4: gets his brother and sister to kiss his hand, which
Speaker 4: is like a symbol that he's pretty much king immediately,
Speaker 4: and then the National Chorus is what they called it,
Speaker 4: the national chorus becomes the Queen is dead, Long Live
Speaker 4: the King. Wow, And then they've got ten minutes to
Speaker 4: get the flags down, and all the ambassadors and prime
Speaker 4: ministers and the Commonwealth are told and then the news
Speaker 4: spreads from there. But the Queen's funeral isn't for another
Speaker 4: ten days. But before the funeral she has three days
Speaker 4: where she is available for public viewings.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she lies in state.
Speaker 4: God, I can't imagine that. I think that is very unusual.
Speaker 4: I don't believe any royal has done that before. But
Speaker 4: apparently the Queen's all for it. She wants to be
Speaker 4: available for public viewing in a way. That's her way
Speaker 4: of continuing to serve the people even beyond the grave.
Speaker 1: I think Diana light in state. Yeah, no, here we go.
Speaker 1: Diana's coffin was lying in state for days.
Speaker 2: So what does in state mean?
Speaker 1: In state means it's for viewing. You can go and
Speaker 1: look at it. So right, Yeah, Diana's coffin light in
Speaker 1: state at Saint James Chapel September sixth, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: it's the same time.
Speaker 2: Oh that's not far apart.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was the anniversary of Diana set the other
Speaker 4: day Oh, isn't that eerie.
Speaker 1: That's really weird. I know I find that stuff weird.
Speaker 2: That is very eerie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she light at state. Oh yeah, so maybe the
Speaker 1: queen will be in a coffin. Maybe I'm wrong, I
Speaker 1: don't know. But if you said her body's on display,
Speaker 1: she's the queen. She you're very different to Diana. Maybe
Speaker 1: you will be able to see her body. That's so sad.
Speaker 2: You know, it's a very odd situation that she's available
Speaker 2: for public viewings. I've never seen an open casket.
Speaker 4: I do understand that for some people, and certainly in
Speaker 4: some cultures, it's a comfort thing and sort of a
Speaker 4: closure thing, and it is tradition for many people. But yeah,
Speaker 4: I feel like if I was like you and I
Speaker 4: was given the option, I'd be like, I'm good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no. But although if it was me, I'd
Speaker 1: kind of want you to do it and take a selfie,
Speaker 1: like put it on be real or something, put a
Speaker 1: filter on me and animate my mouth. I'd want there
Speaker 1: to be fine. I don't want my death to be sad.
Speaker 2: No, but what if you're not happy with the pose
Speaker 2: that your corpse is in.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm all about angles.
Speaker 4: You'd want your hands to be covering the bodice, you know,
Speaker 4: your classic cheery poets.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm in the coffin with my hands like,
Speaker 1: you know, just resting on top of each other. And
Speaker 1: you got Michelle Mark. This is not how he would
Speaker 1: have liked.
Speaker 4: And you put my hands in the clapping hands and
Speaker 4: they'll be like, oh, yes, we want him to look
Speaker 4: like he's sleeping, and I'm like, no, he wants to
Speaker 4: look like he's laughing.
Speaker 2: His mouth needs to be a gape.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, imagine that's fucked here. I just found this, Mitch. So,
Speaker 1: the last member of the royal family to lie in
Speaker 1: state was Queen Mother. So the Queen's mum, two hundred
Speaker 1: thousand people cued up to view her coffin. That's like
Speaker 1: the Olympics.
Speaker 4: Okay, So now I'm confused because viewing the coffin is
Speaker 4: one thing. But I was of the understanding, based off
Speaker 4: this Liz Hayes thing, that it was an open casket.
Speaker 4: And so maybe this is the first time the open
Speaker 4: casket has been done, or maybe they've changed the plans,
Speaker 4: because apparently this operation London Bridge how they handle the
Speaker 4: Queen's death. It was constantly being revised and updated like
Speaker 4: there were weekly meetings almost, So maybe she's not doing
Speaker 4: the open casket. But last I heard that was the
Speaker 4: and I'm like, I don't know if i'd want to
Speaker 4: see that.
Speaker 1: No, And the whole thing is like I'm reading this
Speaker 1: BBC article. You're right, everything is mapped out, even down
Speaker 1: to the direction the hearse will drive leaving Buckingham Palace
Speaker 1: going to the chapel, like everything is planned out. Do
Speaker 1: you think that was morbid for Paul Lizzie having what do.
Speaker 2: You mean the direction?
Speaker 4: Wouldn't you just drive in the correct direction, like to
Speaker 4: the fucking chapel?
Speaker 1: Well, I guess they'd have to cut the traffic. They
Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to be Carson. You know you've got idiots.
Speaker 1: Everything is mapped out.
Speaker 4: Can you just outright google will there be an open casket?
Speaker 4: Because maybe I'm way off because that's what I heard
Speaker 4: based off the Liz Hayes special, But maybe it is
Speaker 4: just the coffin.
Speaker 1: I think it's the coffin. I don't think it's an
Speaker 1: open casket.
Speaker 4: God, And that's the last time I ever trust Liz
Speaker 4: Hayes research.
Speaker 1: Shall we do my agem? Shall I jump in something
Speaker 1: a bit more.
Speaker 2: Like, sure, let's do it.
Speaker 1: Is it just me? Do you respect a four star
Speaker 1: review more than you do a five star?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: I do? In what scenario?
Speaker 1: Here we go not podcast leave us a five star review.
Speaker 2: Always.
Speaker 1: I prethought this because I knew you'd be like you
Speaker 1: fucking idiot people. No. No, not in the podcast world.
Speaker 1: It is. You're right, it's very particular. It's very specific.
Speaker 1: So podcasts, no, that's got to be. It's got to
Speaker 1: be one or a five, most preferably five.
Speaker 4: Please in the podcast world, if you've got some feedback,
Speaker 4: please just hit up the hosts hit us up and
Speaker 4: sat I didn't like this, x y zed But anyway,
Speaker 4: what are you referring to?
Speaker 1: Hotels? Say you want to go to a hotel, you
Speaker 1: want to book the Let's say, for example, you want
Speaker 1: to go to the QT, big famous hotel. Five star
Speaker 1: reviews are too biased, there's too much positivity. There is
Speaker 1: too much great bed, great TV, great buffet. Where you
Speaker 1: go to a four star review, you go down just
Speaker 1: one star. You get the real nitty gritty, you get
Speaker 1: what might not have been perfect. Oh the waffles were
Speaker 1: a bit cold. That's the information you need when you're
Speaker 1: booking a hotel.
Speaker 2: Yes, because I actually like it.
Speaker 4: I think it's also a dog act to leave a
Speaker 4: four star review but no comment. But if you're leaving
Speaker 4: a four star review and you're elaborating on why it
Speaker 4: was not five, I am curious because sometimes you read
Speaker 4: why they left a four star and you're like, I
Speaker 4: can deal with that. Yes, Like the four star might
Speaker 4: say the bed limit's a bit itchy, and it's like, okay,
Speaker 4: can I deal with that? Maybe, yes, I can because
Speaker 4: everything else is amazing. I just want to know why
Speaker 4: they left the four stars.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if they justify it, of course it's fair. But
Speaker 1: for a consumer, it helps you so much knowing what
Speaker 1: exactly you didn't like or what was wrong five star.
Speaker 1: It's like that person, right, and I used to be
Speaker 1: this person. You just it's like yeah, yes, man, everything,
Speaker 1: and you're too positive all the time, and it just
Speaker 1: drains people and it doesn't help society move along. You
Speaker 1: need a little bit of criticism. You need some things
Speaker 1: you can fix and work on. Otherwise life is in
Speaker 1: all rainbows and butterflies and five star reviews.
Speaker 2: Sorry, why are you going on a trip or something?
Speaker 2: If you've been hotel scouting.
Speaker 1: Now Hayden and I were going to go get pancakes
Speaker 1: on the rocks the other night. At about eleven o'clock
Speaker 1: at night, I wanted to check the reviews and they
Speaker 1: were all five star, and it made me not go,
Speaker 1: this is true, because they go, it can't all be
Speaker 1: five star, and Google the algorithm must. I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: you can pay the Google algorithm to bump your five
Speaker 1: star exactly, so it's biased. That is exactly why I
Speaker 1: want a good five a good four star review. It
Speaker 1: just hits the clip. Four star reviews hit the clip.
Speaker 2: What is it about?
Speaker 4: Too much positivity? That always throws me off? The other
Speaker 4: night I went and saw six the Musical Yeah, and
Speaker 4: I'd only heard Rave reviews, so I went in there
Speaker 4: possibly with a bit of a cynical attitude, because it
Speaker 4: was fantastic. Don't get me wrong, it was great, but
Speaker 4: because it had been overhyped so much, in a way,
Speaker 4: I didn't enjoy it as much. Whereas something like Jag
Speaker 4: A Little Pill or nine to five the Musical. I
Speaker 4: went in blind and I had no idea what to expect,
Speaker 4: and I was blown away. So in a way, Rave
Speaker 4: reviews it's a bit of a catch twenty two because
Speaker 4: you don't know whether to believe it.
Speaker 1: Well, here we go. I've got my local baker's light
Speaker 1: up right, and I'm gonna give you an example.
Speaker 4: Well, after last week's gone fiasco, I won't be leaving
Speaker 4: a five star fucking review.
Speaker 1: After scone Gate. So gu Yickwin has given them a
Speaker 1: five star review. He says, awesome baked goods fucking helps nobody. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: that helps no one, Then you go to the next one.
Speaker 1: Mark Diaz has left a four star review on my
Speaker 1: local baker's Delight. Oh that helps. I wonder why He
Speaker 1: says I missed some more chocolate in my scones. The
Speaker 1: things that were being shown looked really delicious but lacked filling.
Speaker 1: The bread was great. I'm Spanish, so I am really
Speaker 1: high when it comes to bread quality. See's that tells
Speaker 1: me everything I need to know.
Speaker 2: He's fucking bang on with the scones, Yes.
Speaker 1: Bang on, and he's got he is a local guide.
Speaker 1: People have thumbed up this review. It's so much more
Speaker 1: helpful than baked goods were good break.
Speaker 4: Do you know what I noticed? I was recently online
Speaker 4: shopping for my Dison air rap. You know that hair
Speaker 4: styling tool. That's like kind of thought after it's a
Speaker 4: bit bougie, this Dison Air rap, And I was like,
Speaker 4: do I want to spend the money and treat myself
Speaker 4: on this Dison Air Rap? I did, and I absolutely
Speaker 4: love it. But when I was reading the reviews, I
Speaker 4: noticed that on different websites, So like, for example, I
Speaker 4: might have gone to sephor a website, my website, Dison website. Yeah,
Speaker 4: all three websites had the exact same five star reviews,
Speaker 4: word for word, copying and pastes. So I feel like
Speaker 4: there must be some sort of service out there that
Speaker 4: pays people to do false reviews.
Speaker 1: You know what, I think we should start bringing into
Speaker 1: the world five star reviews of people. You know, when
Speaker 1: you're trying to describe a person, you go, oh, you
Speaker 1: love my friend James's he's Oh what I mean, No,
Speaker 1: you kind of have you can't do it. So I
Speaker 1: could just say, oh, you love my James, he's a
Speaker 1: four star. You really love him, he's four and a half.
Speaker 4: You really get what you'd have to explain why James
Speaker 4: only got four? Like, oh, his only red flag is true?
Speaker 1: Good point, oh good hookups? Like oh my god, I
Speaker 1: got dick down and it was a five. It was
Speaker 1: a five star, and you'd go, oh, but my god, Well,
Speaker 1: I know you're embellishing a bit, but a good four
Speaker 1: star route. Ah, sign me up.
Speaker 4: Well, you know how I'm seeing someone at the moment,
Speaker 4: Yes I do. I said to him, I wonder if
Speaker 4: you'll ever get to meet Mitch Cherry. And I said
Speaker 4: to him, know, he's exactly what he's like on the podcast.
Speaker 4: Like what you see is what you get. It's a
Speaker 4: fourth star, though, because when he first meets someone, he's
Speaker 4: a bit yelly.
Speaker 1: But as per my own rules, I'll take it.
Speaker 4: I love that you're getting yelly. Now imagine what it's
Speaker 4: like when you first meet someone.
Speaker 1: I do get yelly. It's not yelly. I get so excited.
Speaker 1: I'm like a labrador at times.
Speaker 4: Let's just pretend that I'm introducing him to you. Now,

Speaker 1: Yeah, I wasn't and I'm one of those people that
Speaker 1: don't follow along. But you know, at the moment, this
Speaker 1: is my month, like this is Libra's month, like all
Speaker 1: my moons. Yeah, to be aligned because I'm a librin.
Speaker 8: And yeah, You're and me were the September thirty babies.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's you our happy boy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you birthday twins. I love that.
Speaker 4: So how has mercury and retrograde fucked you up in
Speaker 4: the past. I'm guessing you sound like you've been scorned before.
Speaker 8: Yeah, for sure. Where do I begin? Really? Probably the
Speaker 8: big one is my parents.
Speaker 4: Oh they dropped the news that they were separating while
Speaker 4: mercury is in retrograde. Well, they do say that mercury
Speaker 4: and retrograde affects people's relationships and interactions and their emotions.
Speaker 8: It really does.
Speaker 10: Yeah, because I had a break up after that mercury
Speaker 10: retrograde my palm at the.
Speaker 4: Same time, like when your parents announced you with separating
Speaker 4: not long after during that mercury and retrograde period, you
Speaker 4: also had a break up.
Speaker 8: No, so it was a different one. It was the
Speaker 8: following year.
Speaker 2: But it strikes again yeah.
Speaker 10: My partner and I tend to have our fights and things.
Speaker 1: I also think, like, do you or is it a
Speaker 1: bit of placebo. I'm the first to admit that a
Speaker 1: placebo works on me. If someone says this is going
Speaker 1: to affect you, it will affect me. So do you
Speaker 1: think there is a bit of a bit of colm,
Speaker 1: a bit of COLMBI, Yeah.
Speaker 8: I actually do agree with you.
Speaker 10: I went back through my messages to see you when
Speaker 10: I've been talking about it in the past, and it's
Speaker 10: always just me attributing everything to it.
Speaker 4: No, No, totally, I think that it is a bit
Speaker 4: of placebo. But this is the thing. Sometimes I've noticed things,
Speaker 4: you know, going awry, my technology failing me, my emotions
Speaker 4: being a little bit whack. And I wasn't aware that
Speaker 4: mercury was in retrograde, and then someone pointed it out
Speaker 4: to me, and I was like, oh, that's why, And
Speaker 4: so I don't go into.
Speaker 8: It as well. If everything's going wrong, I'll just look
Speaker 8: it up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so I didn't even know that was the reason,
Speaker 2: so it couldn't have been placebo.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 10: No, I've had the same its like everyone seems a
Speaker 10: bit fucky, and then.
Speaker 8: I'll Google it is. It may be retrograde, and it is.
Speaker 2: Did you just say everyone seems a bit.
Speaker 8: Yeah, everything seems a bit fucky, like.
Speaker 10: Technology relationships, like everything's just wrong.
Speaker 2: I've never heard that word.
Speaker 1: I love it that in my favorite Mitch Coombs. This
Speaker 1: is perfect for you. I think, Oh, it's a ball
Speaker 1: a bit fucky. It's very your language.
Speaker 4: It's so much more cute than saying fucked. Oh everything's
Speaker 4: a bit fucky.
Speaker 1: That's what all the royals are saying. God, it's a
Speaker 1: fucky day.
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 10: And is that another coincidence as well, that Liz has
Speaker 10: gone on Marcu retrograde?
Speaker 4: I know, right, No, I was saying, Actually, I don't
Speaker 4: want to make the connection that Queen Elizabeth died the
Speaker 4: same day Mercury went into retrograde.
Speaker 2: But it can't be a coincidence.
Speaker 1: No, no, it truly can't. And she was a famed astrologer.
Speaker 1: She really believed in the star signs. She she loved
Speaker 1: a crystal. Wait. I want to know, Megan, September thirty.
Speaker 1: You're a Libra? Are you really impatient? Really impatient?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 8: But I also have ADHD so which is which yeah?
Speaker 1: True? Yeah, yeah, you're preaching to the choir here. What
Speaker 1: about indecisive? Are you indecisive?
Speaker 8: Totally?
Speaker 10: And I'm very people pleasing and earnest.
Speaker 8: So I feel like there's a typical libra Mitchell.
Speaker 1: That's me right to a t.
Speaker 2: So what do you mean when you say ernest?
Speaker 8: I don't know people would say that.
Speaker 10: Libras always like hype people up, but yeah, they're simp
Speaker 10: for people, for want of a.
Speaker 8: Better way of explained to you. Yeah, so I feel
Speaker 8: like that's a bit of me.
Speaker 4: Yeah right, because I always thought that the word ernest
Speaker 4: meant like a bit fucking dull and humorless, like and
Speaker 4: you just take everything too seriously.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, that doesn't sound like you, Megan,
Speaker 2: and that's not you, Mitch.
Speaker 8: No, No, that's not my understanding of the words. But
Speaker 8: I could have it wrong.
Speaker 2: Are you a bit of a symp though, Like when
Speaker 2: you're in relationships? Do you fall hard?
Speaker 8: Yeah? Maybe not now, I feel like when I was younger, but.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah too, I used to be a lot worse
Speaker 4: at that when I was young.
Speaker 1: I fall in love with characters that I've never met,
Speaker 1: and also they're characters people have written about them like
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous and these aren't even real humans.
Speaker 10: It's I've stopped instagramming the actors that play characters, so
Speaker 10: I don't like us to ruin the I had to.
Speaker 1: Do that too, and they're all like married with kids
Speaker 1: and that fuck. Why am I falling? Yeah? Oh they're dead.
Speaker 1: That's happened to me before.
Speaker 4: And so how else has mercury and retrograde fucked you
Speaker 4: up or made your life a bit fucky?
Speaker 8: Well? Once I got a speeding finely annoying?
Speaker 2: Was it your first speeding fine?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 4: And mercury retrograde affects people's scheduling, so maybe you were
Speaker 4: running late when normally that's out of character, and then
Speaker 4: you've got a speeding fine.
Speaker 8: Oh no, I'm always running late.
Speaker 2: Again, adhd Darling yep.
Speaker 1: Oh all right, well make sure you slide into the DMS,
Speaker 1: claim your prize, Okay, get something fun.
Speaker 4: For Mercury retrograde ends October two, Megan, I'm wishing you
Speaker 4: all the best.
Speaker 1: Thank you, guys, no worries Megan. If she's given us anything,
Speaker 1: it's the word Bucky. That's brilliant, not a superstar.
Speaker 2: Listen, Oh my god, that has just made my day.
Speaker 1: If you want to get in touch and be featured
Speaker 1: on the show. Have a chat, I have a chim wagon.
Speaker 1: If you've got an is it just you hit us up?
Speaker 1: Slide into the dms? Is it just me a couple
Speaker 1: of miches? Actually, that's the handle right now, Mitchell, it
Speaker 1: is time for a TV eating.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 4: There was some very big news in the Ozzy TV
Speaker 4: world last week. Tracy Grimshaw, the iconic host of A
Speaker 4: Current Affair, She's been doing the role for seventeen years,
Speaker 4: out of nowhere at the end of a Current Affair
Speaker 4: one night, she just dropped a bombshell.
Speaker 2: This was it.
Speaker 12: I have some news that I wanted you to hear
Speaker 12: from me before you hear it from anyone else. I've
Speaker 12: decided to finish up with a Current Affair this year.
Speaker 12: It's been a big decision, huge actually, And before the
Speaker 12: gossip website start telling you rubbish, I want you to
Speaker 12: know it's been my decision alone. And I'm not being
Speaker 12: shoved out the door by the Boys club because.
Speaker 7: I'm too old. I'm not too old.
Speaker 2: I'm just a bit tired, same bit.
Speaker 12: And for the record, both boys and the girls have
Speaker 12: asked me to stay. But I've basically been a shift
Speaker 12: worker for twenty six years now driving to work before
Speaker 12: dawn for nine years on the Today Show, and the
Speaker 12: past seventeen years driving home after dark here on a
Speaker 12: Current Affair, and it's time for less of that daily obligation.
Speaker 1: Oh God, that hits me deep and you deep. I
Speaker 1: can imagine.
Speaker 4: I know, and like, we have not been doing our
Speaker 4: jobs for seventeen years, so I can only imagine how
Speaker 4: she's feeling.
Speaker 1: Oh, the poor things, you know what, I forget. We
Speaker 1: only our generation, like our people of our age, only
Speaker 1: know her as of the current affair host. And for
Speaker 1: the international listeners, a current Affair is like it's the
Speaker 1: it's not it's kind of bordering news and trashy, ye,
Speaker 1: but the stories they cover local hooligans, old ladies that
Speaker 1: have been scammed by Facebook bots, Yeah, stuff.
Speaker 4: Like that, and like when a current Affair covers serious news,
Speaker 4: they go hard.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
Speaker 4: So she does have a good reputation as being like
Speaker 4: an amazing journalist's amazing interviewer. She's got a lot of
Speaker 4: trust from the audience and also the people that she interviews. However,
Speaker 4: a current Affair in itself is a bit of a
Speaker 4: fucking meme. Like they recover the ridiculous things. It's like, oh,
Speaker 4: dodgy builders giving miracle diet pills to the neighbor from Hell.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've just googled this quickly. The top ten best
Speaker 1: current affair stories The Ham scam in two thousand and
Speaker 1: eight that was over the Christmas Ham debarcle. ACA called
Speaker 1: upon a Ham expert that was absolutely ridiculous, whacked out
Speaker 1: at machers about a biking who was whacked at makers
Speaker 1: reverse racism, which I don't think we need to discuss
Speaker 1: dog street siege, which is iconic. I think we've played
Speaker 1: that on the show The dog Man. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I'm going to find that audio right now. Hold on.
Speaker 4: So this guy with telling the reporters about some dog
Speaker 4: situation and he did an impression of them barking, but
Speaker 4: he really committed, and his wife's sending next to him.
Speaker 1: Just looked so fed up. Please google Aca Vicious dog Man.
Speaker 1: This is what you'll find.
Speaker 12: How is it that these two are roaming their neighborhood,
Speaker 12: frightening the locals, and the council isn't stopping it.
Speaker 11: Yesterday morning I came out into the front yard and
Speaker 11: the dogs were across the boat and as soon as
Speaker 11: they saw me. They came bounding over.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you really need the visual as well, like his
Speaker 4: wife's standing next to him and his face like he
Speaker 4: just really something switched in his brain and he just
Speaker 4: became a dog.
Speaker 2: It was wild.
Speaker 1: It's a great show, kind of trashy, but we love
Speaker 1: it and we love Tracy for it.
Speaker 2: Who do you reckon is going to replace her?
Speaker 1: Oh? I haven't heard of any room Is the room
Speaker 1: mill already swirling? I haven't heard anyone.
Speaker 4: There's a few rumors floating around about someone like Deborah Knight,
Speaker 4: who she currently hosts A Current Affair on Friday and
Speaker 4: Saturday night, so it would be an easy fit just
Speaker 4: to bump her onto the weekday show. But I feel
Speaker 4: like the best thing about Tracy is that she's very warm, yes,
Speaker 4: and endearing, but also you don't want to be on
Speaker 4: her bad side. Imagine living with yourself knowing that Tracy
Speaker 4: is unhappy with you. Whereas I don't think that Night
Speaker 4: has that fear factor.
Speaker 1: No, she doesn't have the gravitas now. The only other
Speaker 1: person that has that is Sandra Sully. I've had an
Speaker 1: awkward running with her at a business class lounge, and
Speaker 1: she is magnetic she's terrifying.
Speaker 2: Really, No, she'd be a good fit.
Speaker 4: I'd like to see someone like Samantha Armitage do it
Speaker 4: because she's very opinionated, a very good presenter, and you know,
Speaker 4: she's not afraid to really go hard on someone if
Speaker 4: she needs to grill them. And she would have that
Speaker 4: fear factor because she left Sunrise a while ago saying
Speaker 4: she'd never do Breakfast TV again.
Speaker 2: But I current affair. You know, half an hour every
Speaker 2: week night, that's not as much of a commitment.
Speaker 1: You know what. To add some truth to this, I
Speaker 1: interviewed Samantha Ramitas this week because she's hosting Farmer Wants
Speaker 1: a Wife, and she said to me, word for word,
Speaker 1: people think I'm retired. I'm not retiring. I actually want
Speaker 1: to work. So I think that's a good pick. I
Speaker 1: think you could do it.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 1: But you know what, no one will ever, I mean,
Speaker 1: whoever gets the job. We'll just do it in the
Speaker 1: shadow of Tracy Grimshaw because she is so iconic. Do
Speaker 1: you have a quick Tracy Grimshaw story, because we both
Speaker 1: said at the start of the show that we did.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 4: Mine was that she came into Kiss when I was
Speaker 4: working for Kyl and Jackio. She was going on air
Speaker 4: with them, about to do their interview, and I had
Speaker 4: to film a quick thing beforehand, just saying, Hi, I'm
Speaker 4: Tracy Grimshaw. I'm about to go on with Kyla and
Speaker 4: Jackio just for the Instagram story. Yeah, And I had
Speaker 4: my little beauty light in my hand, just to you know,
Speaker 4: add a bit of light to the face. And she goes,
Speaker 4: ha hah, why are you holding it up there? I
Speaker 4: work in television. You need a down light for these
Speaker 4: sorts of things. She goes, here, I'll show you, grabs
Speaker 4: my hand, puts the beauty light that I was holding
Speaker 4: at a low angle, and then I didn't have the
Speaker 4: heart to correct her, but she looked fucking demonic, and
Speaker 4: she goes, hello on Tracy Grimshaw, I'm coming up with
Speaker 4: kyl and Jackio. And I couldn't post it because she
Speaker 4: had this bright light holding it under her chin. Can
Speaker 4: you imagine what that looked like. It was like holding
Speaker 4: a torch under your face.
Speaker 1: Yeah, look at Oh god, no.
Speaker 2: Tracy Grimshaw, I'm doing an impression now.
Speaker 4: It was so bad, and I was just I was like, Okay,
Speaker 4: you're the boss, I can't correct this.
Speaker 1: Are you afraid of the dog. The only running I
Speaker 1: ever had with it was at the Logis the year
Speaker 1: she was nominated for the Gold Logi and I was
Speaker 1: hosting like the Kiss Radio Logi Special, and I was
Speaker 1: really nervous. It was they flew me up to the
Speaker 1: Gold Coast and you were there meet you were doing
Speaker 1: digital stuff, and I was a bit my first time
Speaker 1: on the Logi's red carpet, so I was anxious. And
Speaker 1: she could tell, and she said she stopped me up.
Speaker 1: I'm like, Tracy, Tracy Gims shut you in my high
Speaker 1: pitch voice. Tracy's nominated, and she went like what she
Speaker 1: didn't say take a breath, but she said something to
Speaker 1: the effect of just stop, start again, You've got this.
Speaker 1: You look so great. Oh Like she compliments sandwich to
Speaker 1: me to make me feel good and just gave me
Speaker 1: a soft restart, and I knew what she was doing.
Speaker 1: That maternal babe. It's okay.
Speaker 2: She does have that sort of presence about her, doesn't.
Speaker 1: She Yes, yes, And isn't there a good story? Did
Speaker 1: you tell me this? Or she was a pizza delivery
Speaker 1: girl for Dominoes or Pizza Hut, Yeah, and delivered pizza
Speaker 1: to Eddie Maguire's House back before she was famous, and
Speaker 1: then met him and tried to ask for a job.
Speaker 1: There's something in that. I'm butchering that story. But she's
Speaker 1: come on my show many times and she told me
Speaker 1: that story. Yeah, I think good.
Speaker 4: Hang on, she's come on your show. Why the fuck
Speaker 4: have you never thrown the podcast to buy? And I'd
Speaker 4: love to have Tracy.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I've had her on a couple of times.
Speaker 1: I don't even know what fall what is there to promote?
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know anyway, I love Tracy Grimshaw.
Speaker 1: So what are we doing her best moments?
Speaker 4: That's right, because we're such little Tracy Grimshaw fanboys, I've
Speaker 4: decided today I'm doing the top five Tracy Grimshaw moment.
Speaker 1: What's the top five?
Speaker 4: I'm so excited for this, so coming in at number five.
Speaker 4: This was an odd moment during twenty twenty. And do
Speaker 4: you remember when COVID just started to become a thing
Speaker 4: and I'd kind of buried my head in the sand
Speaker 4: because I was still going to work like normal. I
Speaker 4: was like, oh, I hadn't really accepted that COVID and
Speaker 4: this global pandemic was happening.
Speaker 2: I was like, whatever, this will pass soon.
Speaker 4: But yeah, the moment that I was like, fuck me,
Speaker 4: we really are in unprecedented times was when Tracy Grimshaw
Speaker 4: was hosting a Current Affair working from home in front
Speaker 4: of her fucking LG flat screen in a bedroom. So
Speaker 4: this is what happened when Tracy Grimshaw worked from home.
Speaker 12: Hello, I'm Tracy Grimshaw. Welcome to a Current Affair tonight.
Speaker 12: We're coming to you from my bedroom and there's something
Speaker 12: I never thought i'd say. It's a spare room and
Speaker 12: in the interests of staying home, will be here for
Speaker 12: a while. I have a small crew who here for
Speaker 12: the first night, which is allowed because there of course
Speaker 12: at work. As you can see, it is a little
Speaker 12: bit cramped, but we have to do it. We begin
Speaker 12: with the government's monster effort to save the Australian economy.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: There is just something about that whole situation that I'm like,
Speaker 4: this is gold. Tracy Grimshaw working in her bedroom and
Speaker 4: do you remember that there were tech issues, Like she
Speaker 4: was in the middle of an interview with some politician
Speaker 4: and the plasma behind her just accidentally switched from a
Speaker 4: Current a Fair logo to Channel seven like an episode
Speaker 4: of RBT the competition.
Speaker 1: You're right, like it's the news. We should be able
Speaker 1: to trust the news to be professional and be correct
Speaker 1: and be from a studio and have the facts. But
Speaker 1: it was in some woman's bedroom in Sydney. There is
Speaker 1: something so Australian about that as well.
Speaker 4: But also I feel like they were doing it to
Speaker 4: be like, yeah, we're leading by example. If Tracy can
Speaker 4: work from home, you can. But it was just so
Speaker 4: funny and do you remember, like.
Speaker 1: You're a dog? Didn't a dog walk in?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 4: So there was a video on her Instagram where it
Speaker 4: was like the dogs running into the studio and she's like,
Speaker 4: sit out all that stuff, and do you remember two
Speaker 4: days later she was back at work in the studio
Speaker 4: like normal, and everyone's kind of like, I thought you
Speaker 4: were working from home now leading by example? COVID's not over, babe,
Speaker 4: why are you back at the studio. And it was
Speaker 4: actually our very own prize keeper, Jenna, that gave us
Speaker 4: a little bit of a scoop as to why Tracy
Speaker 4: had to stop working from home.
Speaker 2: Do you remember this?
Speaker 5: Apparently somebody was stalking Tracy. They were following the Channel
Speaker 5: nine van to her house, which is why they had
Speaker 5: to move back to the studio.
Speaker 1: Oh no, so they knew her palatial mansion was.
Speaker 4: Did you see the video of her dogs running into
Speaker 4: her home studio?
Speaker 2: No, I never knew Tracy Grimshaw was so butch.
Speaker 1: She's a true like.
Speaker 8: I do.
Speaker 1: I can't remember their names.
Speaker 5: Exactly, and now they know the names of her dogs.
Speaker 5: They've been calling out for them.
Speaker 2: All right because of that video.
Speaker 5: You're kidding me, And you'll notice. You'll notice that she
Speaker 5: did upload it to her own Instagram, but now it's gone.
Speaker 2: Wow, Tracy Grimshaw has stalkers.
Speaker 1: Wow, the Grimshaw Heights.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 4: I don't know how accurate that information Jenna gavi Us
Speaker 4: was because we never saw any information about that.
Speaker 2: But I do love a good rumor.
Speaker 1: Oh same, No, I feel like that that checks out
Speaker 1: because why else would they set up at in her
Speaker 1: bedroom only to then pull it down two days later.
Speaker 1: There's truth to that.
Speaker 4: I love it, I know, but it was such an
Speaker 4: iconic moment anyway, coming in at number four. We played
Speaker 4: this not long ago, but it will always be iconic
Speaker 4: to me. This was when our mate Carla from Bankstown
Speaker 4: was on a Current Affair and they aired the interview
Speaker 4: with Carla and When it finished, it cut back to
Speaker 4: Tracy sitting at the Current Affair desk, and this is
Speaker 4: what Tracy had to say.
Speaker 12: The Current Affair introduced you to the social media sensation
Speaker 12: and the man behind the character earlier this month.
Speaker 1: I enjoy bringing people that happiness and making them smile.
Speaker 7: She's made it gronks.
Speaker 1: Of course, Carlo's catphrase is gronks. Do you think that
Speaker 1: was ad lib or do you think that that was
Speaker 1: in the teleprompter?
Speaker 4: No, I reckon that a producer would have said to Tracy, Hey,
Speaker 4: you know what would be really iconic is if you
Speaker 4: use the word gronks off the back of that. And
Speaker 4: that producer was bang on, because I don't reckon Tracy
Speaker 4: would have thought of that.
Speaker 2: But Tracy was just like, yeah, all right, I'll say it.
Speaker 2: Hearing hers like gronks, it's so good.
Speaker 1: Oh that's so funny. And you know what, not all
Speaker 1: journalists would do that.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 1: Peter Roverton wouldn't say gronks. That would compromise his journalistic integrity.
Speaker 1: So I'm so glad Tracy.
Speaker 2: One right coming in at number three.
Speaker 4: This is one of Tracy's stuff ups, if you like,
Speaker 4: because you know, she's an absolutely flawless journalist, one of
Speaker 4: the most trusted in the country. But you know, we
Speaker 4: all have stuff ups occasionally. So this happened five years ago,
Speaker 4: and oh fuck, actually.
Speaker 2: What I just realized that this is a bit weird
Speaker 2: to play this now?
Speaker 1: What happened?
Speaker 2: I planned this top five before the queen died, so
Speaker 2: this seems a bit weird, but oh well, we'll do it.
Speaker 1: What is it? What is it?
Speaker 4: So one afternoon Australian time, there was a statement that
Speaker 4: came out that said there's going to be a major.
Speaker 2: Royal announcement, but we didn't know what it was. And
Speaker 2: a few hours later Tracy.
Speaker 4: Was on air when the news broke, but she jumped
Speaker 4: the gun and got the announcement wrong, so she actually
Speaker 4: announced the wrong thing.
Speaker 2: This is what happened.
Speaker 13: It seems to be that something significant is emerging from
Speaker 13: the palace, but what it is we just need to
Speaker 13: wait and see.
Speaker 12: At this stage, I think I'm hearing something about us.
Speaker 12: I'm hearing that, right, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Okay, Michael,
Speaker 12: I am hearing that there is a royal announcement. There
Speaker 12: has been an announcement that the Queen is stepping down
Speaker 12: from public life. Which that and that is very significant.
Speaker 12: Now we got someone is in my ear is have
Speaker 12: we got confirmation of that? Or is that speculation? We
Speaker 12: have confirmation, we have confirmation of a statement from the palace.
Speaker 12: Do you have Prince Philip is stepping down from public life?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 13: Well I'm just reading that now. There are reports here
Speaker 13: that I understand that Prince Philip is stepping down from
Speaker 13: royal duties.
Speaker 1: Oh god, what a mess. That's a mess, I know.
Speaker 4: So that was when Prince Philip was retiring and you
Speaker 4: could tell that someone was talking in Tracy's earpp and said, Yep,
Speaker 4: the Queen's retiring. We've got it, And she's like, do
Speaker 4: we have confirmation?
Speaker 2: Yes we do.
Speaker 4: Oh wouldn't she be livid? Like she would have just
Speaker 4: gotten off air, walked into the control room been like,
Speaker 4: hey babe, can we have a chat? That can't happen again.
Speaker 1: I'm Tracy mother fucking Grimshaw. Don't you ever fuck with
Speaker 1: me like that? You work experience, prick. I'll make sure
Speaker 1: you never work in this industry again. That wasn't that bad, though,
Speaker 1: to be she didn't go it's confirmed the Queen is
Speaker 1: stepping like it wasn't that bad?
Speaker 2: She did, didn't you hear her? She goes, do we
Speaker 2: have confirmation?
Speaker 4: Yes, we have confirmation, and it's God, that's not ideal,
Speaker 4: like just getting the news close but not quite right,
Speaker 4: Like imagine someone being like, oh, yes, Chappelle Corby was
Speaker 4: caught smuggling drugs into Bali with a pool noodle.
Speaker 2: Close but not quite right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, good point, oh, Tracy. So she had to go
Speaker 1: on and apologize after that.
Speaker 2: I don't think they ever acknowledged it.
Speaker 1: Smart. Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 2: They it's brushed under the carpet because the reporter was like, no,
Speaker 2: it's Philip, It's Philip.
Speaker 1: Okay, what do we have at number two?
Speaker 4: Well, the next one is an iconic interview of hers,
Speaker 4: because Tracy is a renowned interviewer, like that is her
Speaker 4: inner element. And this is when Tracy basically made Pauline
Speaker 4: Hanson have a breakdown on television.
Speaker 2: Do you remember this? No?
Speaker 1: I don't think I do. There's been so many Pauline
Speaker 1: Hanson moments. She's like a right wing racist politician here
Speaker 1: in Australia that we do not.
Speaker 4: Oh no, but this is like Pauline Hanson, like you've
Speaker 4: never seen her before. She broke because there was some
Speaker 4: rip club scandal with one of the guys in her
Speaker 4: One Nation party at the time, and she didn't interfere
Speaker 4: with Tracy basically while she was in damage control, and
Speaker 4: Pauline just broke.
Speaker 2: This is what happened.
Speaker 7: Pauline. Thanks for talking to me.
Speaker 12: I came here thinking that I was going to listen
Speaker 12: to you and ask you a few questions. But yeah,
Speaker 12: I think you're cranky, so I'm going to let you start.
Speaker 12: What do you have to say?
Speaker 3: I am so upset, Tracy. I've worked for this for
Speaker 3: twenty three years, since I was first lectured to parliament
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety six. Do you think I'm to stop fighting
Speaker 3: for this austrange people that are I see. I see
Speaker 3: farms that up enforced or for learns, kids no hope
Speaker 3: of future, and people are hoping, praying for I'm going
Speaker 3: to be the voice for them and I couple this
Speaker 3: shit all the time.
Speaker 1: I'm sick of it.
Speaker 3: I's sick of it.
Speaker 1: Let's keep paul in your hands and kicking the guts.
Speaker 7: Why are you still in it? Why are you still
Speaker 7: in it? Look at you? Why didn't you walk? Look
Speaker 7: at what it's doing to you, Tracy.
Speaker 3: I've made a change out there for people. I've struck
Speaker 3: this with this because I've believen make it a change
Speaker 3: for the people.
Speaker 1: Oh crime me a fucking ruver.
Speaker 4: No, But like, that's the first time ever that someone
Speaker 4: like Pauline Hanson, who is quite problematic, that's the first
Speaker 4: time I've thought, oh, I kind of want to give
Speaker 4: you a hug like that is I reckon that's kind
Speaker 4: of a testament to Tracy, because it takes a lot
Speaker 4: for someone like Pauline Hanson to just kind of let
Speaker 4: her guard down. And if it wasn't for Tracy who
Speaker 4: made her feel comfortable, I reckon she wouldn't do.
Speaker 1: That good on her though. And like the fact that
Speaker 1: she made Pauline that comfortable, I loved it. Why why
Speaker 1: do it? Babe? Will get you? You're a mess?
Speaker 12: I know.
Speaker 2: It just sounded like two ladies having like a catch up.
Speaker 1: Just leave, babe, Look.
Speaker 2: What it's doing to you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're at Jamaica Blue on a Thursday like midday,
Speaker 1: having a toasty in a coffee. Babe, look at you
Speaker 1: a mess? Come on, come on, let's go to a
Speaker 1: lin Craft, we'll get some material, we'll go home.
Speaker 4: But you know, Tracy's done a lot of iconic interviews
Speaker 4: over the years with like Don Burg, Maddie John's and
Speaker 4: there's big controversies at the time, and I think those
Speaker 4: people only want to talk.
Speaker 2: To Tracy because it's fucking Tracy.
Speaker 4: She's gonna go hard, but she's gonna feel like a
Speaker 4: supportive aunt at the same time.
Speaker 1: What's either that? Are you going on the project with
Speaker 1: Walid Arley? I mean, I think I'd know who I'd
Speaker 1: rather go on, you know, Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Well, that's the other thing.
Speaker 4: Tracy does these interviews about touchy subjects and people feel
Speaker 4: like they can trust her, but then she doesn't get
Speaker 4: on stage the logis and fucking brag about it and
Speaker 4: sabotage the court proceedings like Lisa fucking Wilkinson.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, good point. Tracy has never been embroiled
Speaker 1: in any sort of drama. Well props to her for that.
Speaker 4: Well coming in at number one this, I guess this
Speaker 4: kind of counts as a bit of drama. Spoke to
Speaker 4: that where team Tracy in this drama because she hit back,
Speaker 4: So she had a fallout.
Speaker 2: With Gordon Ramsey the people I know, do you not
Speaker 2: know about this?
Speaker 1: No, I've never heard. I don't know this list everyone.
Speaker 1: I've never heard these grabs and I do not know
Speaker 1: about the Gordon Ramsey drama.
Speaker 4: No, oh my god, this is what's brilliant. So Gordon
Speaker 4: was in Australia. He did an interview with Tracy on
Speaker 4: a Current Affair and on the weekend he was doing
Speaker 4: some live cooking demonstration, so there were like people in
Speaker 4: the crowd watching him cork and it was almost a
Speaker 4: little bit stand up comedy as well, and he was
Speaker 4: making jokes about Tracy, made jokes about her being a pig,
Speaker 4: saying that she's a lesbian, and someone in the.
Speaker 2: Crowd must have leaked it because it blew up.
Speaker 4: And obviously Tracy caught wind of what Gordon was saying
Speaker 4: about her, and then she went on air on Monday
Speaker 4: to retaliate.
Speaker 12: I have no idea what prompted is our first Gordon
Speaker 12: Ramsey has always had fair and generous treatment on this program.
Speaker 12: But despite what his publicist said in damage Control, we
Speaker 12: do not have a great relationship. We have no relationship
Speaker 12: at all. I've played along with him in interviews because
Speaker 12: it's entertaining and that's my job, and I walk away
Speaker 12: afterwards and I don't think about him again on Saturday,
Speaker 12: he launched a series of unprovoked public attacks against me.
Speaker 12: I'm not going to pretend that his comments didn't hurt.
Speaker 12: I was absolutely miserable when I found out late Saturday afternoon. Truly,
Speaker 12: I wonder how many people would laugh if they were
Speaker 12: effectively described as an old, ugly pig.
Speaker 7: How is that funny? Exactly? And worse, it's not even witty.
Speaker 12: And I'm not going to sit meekly and let some
Speaker 12: arrogant narcissist bully me. And just finally, Gordon Ramsay made
Speaker 12: me promise not to ask on Friday about his private life.
Speaker 12: He then got on stage on Saturday and made some
Speaker 12: very clear and uninformed insinuations about mine. Obviously, Gordon thinks
Speaker 12: that any woman who doesn't find him attractive must be gay.
Speaker 7: For the record, I don't and I'm not.
Speaker 4: Mike Droun right, multiple mics go trathee in that situation,
Speaker 4: Team traity all the way.
Speaker 1: Oh, they don't, and I'm not.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Why I laugh when she says the word pig. That's
Speaker 4: just another thing that I never thought i'd hear come.
Speaker 2: Out of her mouth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, journalists, how many.
Speaker 2: People would find it funny being described as an old,
Speaker 2: ugly pig.
Speaker 1: Yes, because we used to that voice telling us about
Speaker 1: interest rates, yeah, and train closures, and here she is
Speaker 1: going pig. It doesn't make sense, but you know what,
Speaker 1: fuck off Gordon Ramsey. So what she interviewed him before
Speaker 1: his live show and.
Speaker 2: He to promote them, yeah, and to promote.
Speaker 1: Them, so she was helping him and what he just
Speaker 1: had no gear that night and when I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: you know, lowest dangling fruit.
Speaker 4: Well, in the interview, he was making fun of a
Speaker 4: mole on her face and like kind of ribbing her
Speaker 4: and she just laughed it off, played along. And then
Speaker 4: when he actually got to the shows, I think he
Speaker 4: might have put like a photo of a pig up
Speaker 4: on stage and said that's Tracy Grimshaw.
Speaker 2: I don't know exactly.
Speaker 4: I wasn't there, but basically the insinuation was that she's
Speaker 4: a pig, and he said that she's a lesbian.
Speaker 1: I get his shtick is the bit the mean chef.
Speaker 1: You know, he's a bit aggressive, but that is she's
Speaker 1: a national icon' don't fuck with Trey Well exactly.
Speaker 4: I do love that someone at the show obviously leaked
Speaker 4: to what happened, and then Australia put their foot down
Speaker 4: and said, mate, say what you want about anyone, but
Speaker 4: don't you come for our traces.
Speaker 1: Have you seen Gordon Ramsay? He looks like one of
Speaker 1: those burnt pancakes you know when you make your first pancakes,
Speaker 1: always fucked because the pant's too hot, you put too
Speaker 1: much butter in it, crimples like you try to flip it.
Speaker 1: You know what, You flip a pancake too early and
Speaker 1: it it creases. Yeah, that's what his fucking forehead looks like.
Speaker 1: Piece of shit, raw pancake face.
Speaker 2: Hey, my dad always says two wrongs don't make her right.
Speaker 1: No, true, Well he's not my dad. My dad says,
Speaker 1: fuck them. That's what Mark Cherry says.
Speaker 6: Is it just me.
Speaker 1: Listening on Spotify?
Speaker 6: Don't forget to leave a five star eating you're listening to?
Speaker 7: Is it just me?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 4: Did you see that last week there was all this
Speaker 4: chat about Liah Michelle.
Speaker 2: She was trending on Twitter.
Speaker 1: I did, and I Hayden is obsessed with Liam Mishe
Speaker 1: laughing at Lia Michelle And I didn't know the Lea
Speaker 1: Michelle drama. I've not seen Glee. I'm not Lea Michelle
Speaker 1: isn't a celebrity in my world, but I'm caught up
Speaker 1: to speed and I enjoy laughing too at her expense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think everyone like, no one's a Leah Michelle
Speaker 4: Diehard fan. Everyone just kind of hate watches, which is
Speaker 4: awful to say. But yeah, ever since she left Glee,
Speaker 4: it's become very clear that she was not a pleasant
Speaker 4: person to work with and basically playing the character of
Speaker 4: Rachel Berry wasn't that much of a.
Speaker 2: Stretch for her acting wives because she's quite a punished herself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, And did you see I'm a complete sidebar,
Speaker 1: But did you see the interview with Jamie Lee Curtis
Speaker 1: and Leah Michelle about the whole Oscars thing of the
Speaker 1: great winning Emmys and then Jamie Lee Curtis, should I
Speaker 1: just play the audio? It's so hard? Okay, here it is?
Speaker 8: And was the show nominated? Also we won eight Tony Awards?
Speaker 2: Yes you did, but you didn't, Leah so good.
Speaker 1: It's so savage. People hate her. That just shows that
Speaker 1: other celebrities also hate her.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she doesn't have the best name in the industry.
Speaker 4: But it was announced not long ago that she was
Speaker 4: going to be joining Funny Girl on Broadway, and anyone
Speaker 4: who has watched her on Glee would know that that
Speaker 4: is just so bloody typical for Lea Michelle to do
Speaker 4: that role.
Speaker 2: Because you didn't watch Glee.
Speaker 1: Did you never seen it? I should have. It's very
Speaker 1: me but I haven't seen that.
Speaker 4: Right, Well, basically, she's now playing Fanny Bryce in Funny Girl,
Speaker 4: which is a role made famous by Barbara streisand and
Speaker 4: she has that song Don't Ran in My Parade, and
Speaker 4: that is one of the iconic songs that Leah Michelle
Speaker 4: did in Glee. And it was a constant storyline on
Speaker 4: Glee that she was obsessed with Barbara streisand wanted to
Speaker 4: be in a Funny Girl, wanted to play Fanny Bryce.
Speaker 4: So it was like life imitating art. It was just
Speaker 4: so typical that Lea Michelle was getting this role.
Speaker 1: That's quite cool. I like it when that happens. That's fine.
Speaker 4: But the thing is, there was someone already doing that role,
Speaker 4: and she announced that she was leaving and it was
Speaker 4: her decision, but it very much seemed like she was
Speaker 4: being ousted in favor of Leah Michelle doing this role.
Speaker 1: Because yeah, Beanie Feldstein, Yeah, yeah, Beannie Feldtin is very funny.
Speaker 1: She is Seth Rogan's sister. No one really knows that
Speaker 1: they go a different name.
Speaker 2: Isn't it Jonah Hill's sister?
Speaker 1: Is it Jonah Hill? Yeah? No, you're definitely right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's Jonah Hill's sister. Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Well, she was doing that gig originally and everyone thought, yeah,
Speaker 4: great pick, you know, a.
Speaker 2: Jewish character played by a proudly Jewish woman.
Speaker 4: But the reviews for her were a little bit meh,
Speaker 4: Like she wasn't necessarily a bad singer, but she just
Speaker 4: didn't have that belt that is required for that role
Speaker 4: and particularly that song. And so they went in a
Speaker 4: different direction and they brought in Liah Michelle. But for me,
Speaker 4: the funny part was that Jane Lynch, who was, you know,
Speaker 4: on Glee with Leah Michelle. She was originally in Funny
Speaker 4: Girl the musical, and when they announced they were bringing
Speaker 4: Lee Michelle on coincidentally, she was like, no, I'm.
Speaker 2: Out, so she left. Oh my god, I know, isn't
Speaker 2: that hilarious?
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no rumors at this point. She's an
Speaker 1: awful person to work with, right, People don't like Leah
Speaker 1: Michelle no.
Speaker 4: And this is why I was quite surprised, because, like
Speaker 4: I said, she was trending on Twitter, and I'm a
Speaker 4: bit like Hayden where I like to hate watch Yeah,
Speaker 4: and overwhelmingly it was quite positive because the reason she
Speaker 4: was trending was because she finally had her opening night
Speaker 4: doing Funny Girl on Broadway. And to her credit, there
Speaker 4: were a lot of bootleg recordings. Like people just forgot
Speaker 4: theatre etiquette, you know how they always say strictly no recording.
Speaker 4: At this production, people were posting her singing Don't Ran
Speaker 4: on My Parade. People were even outside the theater right
Speaker 4: at the stage door, just trying to listen to her,
Speaker 4: posting videos of what they could overhear. And so to
Speaker 4: her credit, like that, that's pretty powerful. People really huddling
Speaker 4: outside the theater just trying to hear your opening night.
Speaker 4: So first I'm going to play you her singing Don't
Speaker 4: Ran on My Parade, which, like I said, is the
Speaker 4: iconic song that she did in Glee. It's the iconic
Speaker 4: song for this musical. So this was the big moment
Speaker 4: everyone was waiting for. So everyone's singing at standing ovation.
Speaker 4: She hasn't finished the song yet. Oh oh, this is
Speaker 4: mid performance. That's big.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh wow, and she's just standing in the middle
Speaker 1: of the stage just moping it out.
Speaker 14: Oh, she's nailing it.
Speaker 4: I used to love this song. I had it on
Speaker 4: my MP three play at the Glee version.
Speaker 1: And it was hursting here too.
Speaker 15: That's cute.
Speaker 1: Oh they're standing up standing ovation.
Speaker 4: Apparently she got multiple standing ovations, and that's why I
Speaker 4: was like, oh, this is kind of nice, because we
Speaker 4: all love to hate her. But overwhelmingly what I saw
Speaker 4: into it her people were like, Okay, she's a pain,
Speaker 4: but girl chicken sing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she fucking nailed that. I'll give it to her.
Speaker 1: That was a really good performance. That was great.
Speaker 4: Now he is where it gets a bit funny, you know.
Speaker 4: Now there's that ridiculous rumor that she is illiterate.
Speaker 1: I've seen it on TikTok. It's that she can't read right,
Speaker 1: she doesn't.
Speaker 2: Know how to read.
Speaker 4: It's this stupid conspiracy theory that surface on TikTok. I
Speaker 4: might actually play that TikTok. This is all the evidence
Speaker 4: as to why people believe that she's secretly illiterate.
Speaker 9: Lea Michelle can't read, so she just has her lines
Speaker 9: read to her because she was a child after on
Speaker 9: Broadway and she just never had time to go to school.
Speaker 9: Four years. Michelle did spring a weakening because she only
Speaker 9: had two memos of the show once. Michelle would also
Speaker 9: appear on Scream Queens in addition to Glee, and that's
Speaker 9: because Ryan Murphy knows her secret and he would read
Speaker 9: her lines to her. For Glee, she never had to
Speaker 9: read the song's lyrics, they were pre recorded on demo.
Speaker 9: In addition, she mainly sang like well known standards by
Speaker 9: Barbara Streisan and Seline dion Lea. Michelle never uses her
Speaker 9: own phone. Her assistants use it for her. In her
Speaker 9: Instagram captions, if it's just an emoji, it is done
Speaker 9: by Michelle herself. If there's words with no emoji, it
Speaker 9: was written by somebody else. If it is words with
Speaker 9: an emoji, it's been written by somebody else, But she
Speaker 9: can pick the emojis. There are two appearances on the
Speaker 9: Ellen Show. The first one, they're playing Cards against Humanity.
Speaker 9: Everyone else is shuffling through their cards. Meanwhile Leah is
Speaker 9: not because someone apparently picked them for her. She wins
Speaker 9: around and Chris Colfer congratulates her for getting a word game.
Speaker 2: Right, yep. And so because of that, everyone's just chosen
Speaker 2: to believe that she's a literate.
Speaker 4: It's just it's just ridiculous, and it's kind of fun
Speaker 4: to go along with. I say so many names about
Speaker 4: her not being I would have raided, Oh.
Speaker 1: It's hilarious because it's funny because A, we're not laughing
Speaker 1: at her because she clearly can read. She's an actress.
Speaker 1: She's gonna read scripts for a living. She definitely she no,
Speaker 1: of course she can. Al saw another one because she
Speaker 1: debunked this thing. She came out and read a children's book, right.
Speaker 1: But the poor thing had her hair covering one of
Speaker 1: her ears, and everyone was saying that she had an
Speaker 1: earpiece in being read the words. I mean, that's a stress.
Speaker 4: So funny, or she just memorized that like she would
Speaker 4: memorize the script. It's probably bullshit, but it's just so funny.
Speaker 1: It's absolutely hilarious, and I don't think there's any truth
Speaker 1: to it at all.
Speaker 4: And so the reason I bring this up is because
Speaker 4: there was a funny moment on her opening night A
Speaker 4: Funny Girl where her character there's a bit of dialogue
Speaker 4: where she says, I haven't read so many books, and
Speaker 4: people in the audience audibly laughed, And I like that,
Speaker 4: poor bitch.
Speaker 2: Having to deal with that. I'll play it. Someone once
Speaker 2: again did a bootleg recording.
Speaker 1: Here it is, and I have the best books. Imagine
Speaker 1: being up on stage and you know, you hear the audience,
Speaker 1: you know they're laughing at you.
Speaker 4: I know, And if I was in that audience, I
Speaker 4: would have been trying not to laugh.
Speaker 2: But if I heard other people laugh, I just would
Speaker 2: have cracked too. Like it's just so dumb. I love
Speaker 2: this rumor.
Speaker 1: Do you think she hates it off on backstage? She'd
Speaker 1: be the type, based on rumors, that would storm off
Speaker 1: and give it to her management or give it to
Speaker 1: the fucking ushes. I don't know. Like she seems like
Speaker 1: a diva and a half based on the rumors.
Speaker 4: I think she needs to not be so precious about it.
Speaker 4: She needs to address it in a funny way.
Speaker 1: Yes, I was just gonna say that she needs to
Speaker 1: lean into it. She needs to film a sketch or something,
Speaker 1: or on a video address of the situation, and the
Speaker 1: teleprompter needs to break mid thing, or she needs to
Speaker 1: be reading off a script, or she needs to release
Speaker 1: a statement and it's riddle with spelling errors.
Speaker 4: Yeah, before or even just lean into it and like
Speaker 4: make it a running joke, like she'll do an Instagram
Speaker 4: live and be like, uh oh sorry, I can't read
Speaker 4: the comments. I don't know what you guys are saying totally,
Speaker 4: but you.
Speaker 1: Know, it just shows that she's got such an ego
Speaker 1: that she can't let herself do that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, Kyle and JACKIEO have said that. Whenever they get asked,
Speaker 4: who's your worst ever interview, they always say her really
Speaker 4: because she was just apparently such a diva and such
Speaker 4: a punish and tried to get them blacklisted, and they're
Speaker 4: like blacklisted from Glee interviews.
Speaker 2: We're okay with that.
Speaker 1: They're all dead anyway, Sorry they are the Greekers.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is very unfortunate. Anyway, we better get out
Speaker 4: of here, guys. Thanks for listening to another episode?

Speaker 1: guys will low energy and we've never had you low energy.
Speaker 1: So there you go, bitches.
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm always a little bit low energy.
Speaker 1: No, no, with anything. My sporadic high ADHD energy brings
Speaker 1: you up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it definitely dotes. But no, it's nice and chill.
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 4: Although I have to say something really put things in
Speaker 4: perspective for me this week because I was at home
Speaker 4: on Monday, I couldn't do our interview with Beverly Kills
Speaker 4: for Drag Race Debrief have bonus episodes because I was
Speaker 4: vocal restling and I thought, Yah, the fucking sacrifices I
Speaker 4: have to make for my job, the toll that my
Speaker 4: line of work takes on my body, the physical toll.
Speaker 2: Oh my voice, it's just so hard.
Speaker 4: And then it really put things in perspective when my
Speaker 4: brother sent a photo to our family group chat because
Speaker 4: he's a builder and he had a nail through his chin.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, how self inflicted.
Speaker 4: No, so it was like some freak accident, like one
Speaker 4: of the other guys, one of the other builders there
Speaker 4: with him with using the nail gun and somehow it
Speaker 4: ricocheted and just went through his face. It entered right
Speaker 4: under the lip, and then he tried to pull it out,
Speaker 4: but he could feel his whole chin detaching when he
Speaker 4: did that, so we had to go to hospital and
Speaker 4: have it surgically removed.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that is so lucky.
Speaker 2: That could have got him in the head, get him
Speaker 2: in the head.
Speaker 1: Look, oh my god, wait wait, wait, holy.
Speaker 4: Shit, I'll send you that video because it did get
Speaker 4: him in the head. But thank god it just went
Speaker 4: in the chin, because if it had been any high,
Speaker 4: I could have gotten his fucking brain.
Speaker 1: Yeah, could have killed him. God, that's awful.
Speaker 4: And he was just so blase about the fact that
Speaker 4: he got shot in the face with a nail that day.
Speaker 4: He's like, oh, yeah, I'll go back to work after
Speaker 4: I've got it removed.
Speaker 1: And here you are. Oh my hello, fresh box fell
Speaker 1: on my toe and I'm on bed rest.
Speaker 2: No, that's not wise because I've got no fucking voice.
Speaker 1: For an hour second right now? Oh you sent me
Speaker 1: the photo. Oh my god, look at him. Your brother's
Speaker 1: very handsome.
Speaker 2: Well, obviously it runs in the family.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a family thing. I'm sure he's nailing more
Speaker 1: things in his chin. Well, I'm sending my love and
Speaker 1: sending my regards.
Speaker 2: Please we should call him just for fun?
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, should we call him?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll send you his number. Yeah, I'll send him
Speaker 4: a quick text to make sure he answers.
Speaker 1: Could also be on the job site.
Speaker 2: Should dot Wiggins make a building inquiry?
Speaker 1: Okay, Mark, My name is Donald Wiggins. I'm a local pensioner.
Speaker 1: How are you, sweetheart?
Speaker 11: Well, how are you going good?
Speaker 1: Thank you? Listen, I need new grout lines in my
Speaker 1: on suite. It's very embarrassing to say, but I'm in continent, darling.
Speaker 1: I I ahouse myself often. Yeah, and I cleaned up.
Speaker 1: I clean majority of it. I can't bend. I clean
Speaker 1: up eighty percent of the fickle matter. But they're staying ground, darling.
Speaker 11: This is fucking this is a joke.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, you're a giant calling you. There's voices in
Speaker 1: my head.
Speaker 2: Who is this?
Speaker 3: You've got to every time you do prank calls, you've
Speaker 3: got to change the voice because I untenable recognize.
Speaker 4: Its fucking checking in about how the nail in the
Speaker 4: face is going?
Speaker 1: How's the nail?
Speaker 11: It's still there? Get it removed?
