0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:22.239
<v Speaker 2>Hi girls, I'm glad you finished that mouthful of snacks

0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:25.200
<v Speaker 2>just before he said hello, Mitch, you really went down

0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:27.400
<v Speaker 2>to the wire. He waits for the last thirty seconds,

0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:29.080
<v Speaker 2>then puts like a burgery in his mouth.

0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:30.960
<v Speaker 3>All right, it was one armand and I thought I

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 3>could handle it, but I don't have enough saliva.

0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Choked. Imagine if died live on it.

0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:38.080
<v Speaker 2>You really looked like you were trying to like dry,

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:40.320
<v Speaker 2>like hock it back just at the very last minute.

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:41.400
<v Speaker 4>I can resuscitate.

0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:42.159
<v Speaker 2>By the way, if you.

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:44.080
<v Speaker 3>Were going to choke, get that almond out of my mouth.

0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:46.519
<v Speaker 3>Laura knows had to stop choking. You know it's done it.

0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:48.640
<v Speaker 2>On the show, only if you stuck the almond up

0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:49.920
<v Speaker 2>your nose and you're told I could.

0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Blow it right, not in my nose.

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:53.800
<v Speaker 3>I was scrolling Twitter, and I was distracted because I

0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:56.560
<v Speaker 3>completely forget that RuPaul's drag Race down Under the new

0:00:56.600 --> 0:01:01.200
<v Speaker 3>season which has Michelle Visage's host come out this Friday.

0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:02.440
<v Speaker 2>You're obsessed with this show?

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I love it, and you too should be as well.

0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 3>Like drag races for not just for the gays, it's

0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:07.200
<v Speaker 3>for everyone.

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:09.479
<v Speaker 4>I do love it, But I'm not as obsessed as

0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 4>you are.

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:13.160
<v Speaker 1>I've got a drag name, like a queen name if

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:14.840
<v Speaker 1>I ever were to do drag. What is it?

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:18.680
<v Speaker 3>It's Emily Bellish, but her friends call her Embellish.

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's funny. So my brother is a drag

0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:24.760
<v Speaker 2>queen like, he does drag himself, and he does it

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:31.000
<v Speaker 2>overseas in Boston, and his name is Vagina Jesus, Vagina veggiemite.

0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:34.440
<v Speaker 2>It's a body part. Are we no.

0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:36.440
<v Speaker 1>Disrespect to you? I think it's meant to be a pun.

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:40.279
<v Speaker 3>Again, Bellish is in Bellish, but it's China Veggie.

0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 4>How do you come up with a drag name? How

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 4>would I come up with?

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Well?

0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:46.960
<v Speaker 3>It can be a funny pun or it can also

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.320
<v Speaker 3>just be the kind of way people do it is

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 3>your first pet's name is your first name, and then

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.040
<v Speaker 3>your last name is the street that you grew up on.

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 2>Street Snowy Princess.

0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that is brilliant, that's brilliant.

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 4>That was good, Gizmo Dixon, that.

0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Works perfectly, that's perfect.

0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 2>That's so good?

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:10.400

<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, they are any bit of a tizzy.

0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:18.519
<v Speaker 3>And I have a lot to say about this. And

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:19.840
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if you girls have heard, but Sean

0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 3>Mendes has Yeah, he's addressed his sexuality for the first time.

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:24.639
<v Speaker 1>Did he No? He did?

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:24.919
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 4>Lorges, Oh yeah, did he know?

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:29.120
<v Speaker 2>Because I heard the quote and I was a bit like, oh,

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:32.040
<v Speaker 2>he's kind of don't spoil it, lay come and.

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 3>Run up lots of allegations and a lot of talk

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 3>about his sexuality.

0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Next we'll tell you what he said on the pick up.

0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 2>What's the girls at the moment?

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:41.720
<v Speaker 3>With the election going on, there's so much news in

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:42.920
<v Speaker 3>the air, and you go, where do I get my

0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 3>news from?

0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:44.440
<v Speaker 1>What publication do we go to?

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:46.639
<v Speaker 2>Of course they come here, Yes, listen to us.

0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 3>Why would you not come to the pick up to

0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 3>unpack all the great That's what we do every Wednesday.

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:51.080
<v Speaker 6>You can't.

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.280
<v Speaker 3>I bring Britain Laura the biggest news stories of the

0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:55.920
<v Speaker 3>middle of the week, and then they decide whether we

0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:57.960
<v Speaker 3>pick them up, we keep the conversation going, or we

0:02:57.960 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 3>put it down.

0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.240
<v Speaker 1>We never speak on the topic again, are we.

0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.640
<v Speaker 2>Ready, girls, we aren't ready a right pick up?

0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Put down.

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:06.880
<v Speaker 3>Anthony Albanesi using his Prime ministerial power to get free

0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 3>update upgrades on Quantus flights.

0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:15.280
<v Speaker 2>Kick it up, Kick it Up. I was having this

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 2>conversation with my mother in law surprisingly yesterday because like

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:20.799
<v Speaker 2>everyone was up in arms that Albo recently bought himself

0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:22.839
<v Speaker 2>an expensive property. It was like a four million dollar

0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:24.919
<v Speaker 2>property that was beach front. You did, okay, And I

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 2>understand that in the cost of living that seems crazy.

0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.520
<v Speaker 2>But he also is the man that runs this country.

0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:33.480
<v Speaker 2>And if it's not like a well paying job, who's

0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:35.280
<v Speaker 2>gonna want to do it? Like, no one's gonna do

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.480
<v Speaker 2>that for free, So I do kind of expect that

0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 2>like it comes with its per Well.

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 1>Here we go. The details had come out.

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.600
<v Speaker 3>He asked Alan Joyce, the then CEO of Quantas, for

0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:46.120
<v Speaker 3>twenty two upgrades on economy tickets.

0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.880
<v Speaker 3>Some were personal holidays to Hawaii, Europe in La. These

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 3>were during his time as Transport Minister, not during his

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:52.920
<v Speaker 3>time as Prime minister.

0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 7>You have to.

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 4>Transport to La gotta get h so it checks out.

0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:58.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if anyone's gonna have a perk when it

0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:00.920
<v Speaker 2>comes to transport. It probably should be transport minister.

0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.760
<v Speaker 5>Can I just say, I don't know many people in

0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 5>this world that if they have an opportunity to upgrade

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:08.920
<v Speaker 5>themselves in some way, that they would say no.

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:12.560
<v Speaker 3>But you know, we get we get free donuts every

0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 3>now and again, Like if you're a baker, you get

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 3>to take on croissants at the end of the day.

0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:18.360
<v Speaker 1>There are perks in your job. Give them a break.

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think there's far worse things he could be doing,

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:21.159
<v Speaker 2>that's for sure.

0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 1>It's all allegedly, of course as well.

0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, don't see us, Ebo.

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure he's far too busy to suit the pickup.

0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:28.000
<v Speaker 2>In his beautiful beach front mansion.

0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 3>Okay, what about this pick up? Put down ladies and gentlemen?

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:32.839
<v Speaker 3>Sewan Mendez, finally addressing his sexuality.

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 4>What I'm gonna put it down.

0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:39.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to pick it up. And I don't know

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:41.880
<v Speaker 2>whether you're angry about it or happy, Mitch, because you've

0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 2>kind of what I don't know, like, why is everyone

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 2>up in arms about this?

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:46.040
<v Speaker 1>No one, No one's up in arms.

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.840
<v Speaker 5>I'm only putting it down because I don't think we

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:50.800
<v Speaker 5>should have to be in a society where someone has

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:52.000
<v Speaker 5>to come out and address their sexuality.

0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 3>No, I agree, but I think we need to talk

0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:55.839
<v Speaker 3>about it as someone who is gay and who struggle

0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 3>with their sexuality. I want to play you what Sean

0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:00.640
<v Speaker 3>said at his concept overnight. This is pretty breaking news.

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:03.120
<v Speaker 3>He has faced the poor thing. Allegations are being gay,

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.120
<v Speaker 3>not even allegations. For God's sake, people have outed him

0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.919
<v Speaker 3>four years because he's slightly more feminine, he's a musician,

0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 3>he looks after himself.

0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 1>This is what he's had to say after all these years.

0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:16.279
<v Speaker 8>The real truth about my life and my sexuality is that, man,

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:19.040
<v Speaker 8>I'm just I'm just figuring it out like everyone and

0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:23.680
<v Speaker 8>I don't really know sometimes and I know other teams,

0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:33.039
<v Speaker 8>and it feels really scary because we live in a

0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.960
<v Speaker 8>society that has a lot to see about that. And

0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.520
<v Speaker 8>I'm trying to be really brief and just allow myself

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:46.320
<v Speaker 8>to be a human and feel things. And yeah, I

0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:50.479
<v Speaker 8>just that's all I really want to say about that

0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:51.039
<v Speaker 8>for now.

0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:55.760
<v Speaker 2>But Mitch, how do you feel listening to that?

0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:56.200
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:59.440
<v Speaker 3>It makes me so proud of him because I know

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:01.640
<v Speaker 3>how hard it is to come out. For some people,

0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.120
<v Speaker 3>it's easy, and I know there's young kids listening to

0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:05.840
<v Speaker 3>this old parents that have gay kids that go, it

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:09.160
<v Speaker 3>was easy for my kids. He's twenty five, twenty six,

0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:11.800
<v Speaker 3>you know, I'm twenty nine, different time, and I don't

0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:14.360
<v Speaker 3>think it matters where you were raised, how old you are.

0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.800
<v Speaker 3>Your own sexuality is your own journey. And I really

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:20.840
<v Speaker 3>struggle before I came out, everyone thinking I was gay

0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:23.160
<v Speaker 3>already assuming putting a label on me, And that is

0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:25.559
<v Speaker 3>why it delayed me for so long, because I hadn't

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:27.760
<v Speaker 3>come to the point myself, but everyone else wanted to

0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:28.280
<v Speaker 3>tell me first.

0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:30.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I just think I could not not in a

0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:32.720
<v Speaker 5>bad way. I could not care less if Yeah, you're

0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:34.960
<v Speaker 5>figuring it out. He's an incredible artist, and that's where

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:36.159
<v Speaker 5>we should stop it totally.

0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:38.120
<v Speaker 3>And you know what we owe to him now is

0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:39.960
<v Speaker 3>to just shut up about privacy and let him date

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:40.600
<v Speaker 3>who he wants to tell.

0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 4>I love that you said that, but you also brought

0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 4>it to discuss it.

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:45.640
<v Speaker 1>No, but I brought it to discuss it because I

0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:47.120
<v Speaker 1>think it's important to talk about.

0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:48.440
<v Speaker 4>And now I want to shut up and.

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:50.920
<v Speaker 3>Now shut up about sham Menders. Yeah, we're gonna play

0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:52.200
<v Speaker 3>Shamande's song ironically next.

0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:55.839
<v Speaker 1>I believe that's big up put down. We happy with

0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:56.200
<v Speaker 1>the stories.

0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:58.240
<v Speaker 2>Girls, I'm happy with the stories. Mitche well done today,

0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:00.240
<v Speaker 2>thank you so great to unpack them all. Things all

0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 2>were coming up. I wanted to talk about something that

0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:06.800
<v Speaker 2>you would think. I mean, it was heartfelt, It really

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:10.240
<v Speaker 2>was heartfelt, but also it didn't exactly go to plan.

0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:14.360
<v Speaker 2>And that is on the weekend we scattered my grandparents' ashes.

0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Let me tell you some things went down that probably

0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:22.480
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't have the ashes. No, guys, it's just this. You

0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:24.200
<v Speaker 2>have an idea about how something's going to go in

0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.520
<v Speaker 2>your head, and it certainly doesn't always go to plan.

0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 2>I can't wait for that one. So I kind of

0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:31.840
<v Speaker 2>toyed with the idea as to whether I would tell

0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:33.840
<v Speaker 2>you guys this story or not, because every so often

0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:35.520
<v Speaker 2>I do have these moments in life where I'm like,

0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:38.120
<v Speaker 2>should I keep this one private? But it also is

0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:40.080
<v Speaker 2>a story that didn't pan out exactly as I expected

0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:43.840
<v Speaker 2>it to. So on the weekend just passed, we scattered

0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:46.720
<v Speaker 2>my grandparents' ashes. Right, and it's a thing that you

0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:50.720
<v Speaker 2>think is going to be this really reverend beautiful sentimental

0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:53.680
<v Speaker 2>moment to memorize their you know, remember their life. And

0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:56.400
<v Speaker 2>so my grandparents per perspective that my Nana and Papa

0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 2>I lived with them growing up, like they were real

0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 2>parental figures for me and my nana. Papa always said,

0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:04.880
<v Speaker 2>when I die, just cremate me and throw me off

0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Mount Kira, which where they're from is like the big

0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:09.040
<v Speaker 2>mountain that kind of overlooks the.

0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.119
<v Speaker 5>Town, so they knew exactly where they want to spend.

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:12.680
<v Speaker 5>My man would say it all the time.

0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Christmas Lunch, throw me off Mount Kira, Easter, throw me

0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:18.240
<v Speaker 2>off Mount Kira. So here it is, the weekend comes

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 2>and it's the time that we're going to throw them

0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:23.760
<v Speaker 2>off Mount Kira. So we get there and my mom arrives,

0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:25.720
<v Speaker 2>and I hadn't really thought about how this was going

0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:27.640
<v Speaker 2>to go down, right. I didn't think, like, okay, well,

0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:30.680
<v Speaker 2>what's the process. So I've not been to the lookout

0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:32.160
<v Speaker 2>in a really long time. And back in the day

0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:33.640
<v Speaker 2>he used to just be able to walk up right

0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:35.920
<v Speaker 2>to the edge, and we walk up to what is

0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:38.320
<v Speaker 2>now a massive fence to stop people from going too

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:41.880
<v Speaker 2>close to the edge, so it's just rock fence more rock.

0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.280
<v Speaker 2>All of these families are there because they're all at

0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:48.640
<v Speaker 2>the lookout, enjoying, taking selfies and stuff, and my family's

0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:50.840
<v Speaker 2>there with some roses and the kids, and my mom

0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 2>rocks up with a Wooliess bag and she pulls out

0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:59.720
<v Speaker 2>mag Nana and Papa were in the Wool's bag else

0:08:59.920 --> 0:09:04.040
<v Speaker 2>you want to be. Nana was in a giant ziplock

0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.920
<v Speaker 2>plastic bag bag, massive, big glad bag. This is how

0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:10.120
<v Speaker 2>we were giving it from the funeral. That was just

0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Mom hadn't transferred Nana, so that was Nana. And then

0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:17.120
<v Speaker 2>in another which was more like a plastic burn that

0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:20.400
<v Speaker 2>was very challenging to open, let me tell you was Papa.

0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:21.840
<v Speaker 2>So we mixed them together.

0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:23.760
<v Speaker 3>So Britt made a good question, how did you know

0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:25.440
<v Speaker 3>Papa was Papa and Nana was Nana?

0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:28.400
<v Speaker 2>Because they didn't They dined at different times, so Papa

0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:30.920
<v Speaker 2>had been waiting for Nana on the on the mantel

0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:32.200
<v Speaker 2>piece had gone.

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.760
<v Speaker 1>On, so he gets an urn and then.

0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:37.520
<v Speaker 2>We knew Nana wouldn't wait for long, so they were

0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:38.400
<v Speaker 2>going to do it together.

0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:39.199
<v Speaker 1>I didn't deserve it.

0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 2>It's just guys have some respect. So my mom says, Okay,

0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:48.360
<v Speaker 2>the way that you've got to do it is you've

0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:51.040
<v Speaker 2>got to cut a corner in the plastic grouplock bag

0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:52.480
<v Speaker 2>and then you can scatter it so it doesn't all

0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:58.240
<v Speaker 2>come out at once, like how you pipe. Yeah, So Alicia,

0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.200
<v Speaker 2>my sister, goes first, and she tips it out and

0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:04.400
<v Speaker 2>then she hands it to me and I have my

0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 2>turn of scattering the ashes around. But as I started scattering,

0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:10.560
<v Speaker 2>the top of the ziploc bag came undone, and so

0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:13.320
<v Speaker 2>it was spilling out from both sides, and my Mom's

0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:14.599
<v Speaker 2>in the corner going.

0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:15.520
<v Speaker 3>Don't wasted.

0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:21.400
<v Speaker 2>Everybody needs the ten and I freaked out because I

0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:22.880
<v Speaker 2>was like, oh my god, I'm gonna be the one

0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:25.240
<v Speaker 2>that scatters everything, and everybody needs to have a goal

0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:25.360
<v Speaker 2>of this.

0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:28.560
<v Speaker 3>You're getting both legs, arms, shoulders, you get all of them.

0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:31.960
<v Speaker 2>So I went to stop and like I kind of

0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.319
<v Speaker 2>like the motion of me trying to stop it from

0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:38.600
<v Speaker 2>scattering meant that it stopped scattering. But the bag whipped

0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:41.600
<v Speaker 2>up and a whole cup of ash just came flying

0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:45.640
<v Speaker 2>out and hit me straight in the face. You ate, Grandpa,

0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:46.719
<v Speaker 2>and then went down my.

0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Top, and Grandma passed down the top.

0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:51.840
<v Speaker 2>And went straight down my pants. And then everyone just

0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:54.240
<v Speaker 2>stood there laughing at me whilst I was covered from

0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:55.199
<v Speaker 2>him to toe.

0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Grandma in your mouth and grand Dad and.

0:10:57.240 --> 0:11:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Your nickers, Mitch, not funny everywhere too far.

0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:05.040
<v Speaker 4>I don't think you meant it like that.

0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:05.280
<v Speaker 2>I did.

0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:07.520
<v Speaker 4>Grandpa was down your pants instead everywhere.

0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:09.720
<v Speaker 2>They both work together, seventy three years and everything.

0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.560
<v Speaker 5>That's quite selfish of you to decide to take some

0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.240
<v Speaker 5>of your grandparents home and not scatter them at Mount Kira,

0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:16.160
<v Speaker 5>which is what they asked.

0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, it just made me realize that I think, you know,

0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.040
<v Speaker 2>you build something up in your mind that's going to

0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:23.040
<v Speaker 2>be something, and then it can sometimes turn out to

0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:25.400
<v Speaker 2>be completely the opposite. And I think that we need

0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.640
<v Speaker 2>to rework the scattering. No, you get not the bags,

0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:30.400
<v Speaker 2>you get it in the urn that you get it in.

0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.319
<v Speaker 2>None of this is conducive for actually scattering you ate

0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:34.040
<v Speaker 2>your grandparents.

0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:36.160
<v Speaker 4>We're not going to normalize eating your grandparents.

0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.560
<v Speaker 2>No, we need to. I think funeral parlors out there

0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.240
<v Speaker 2>need to consider how they provide the ashes because it

0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:43.800
<v Speaker 2>is not good for scattering. And I reckon other people

0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:44.880
<v Speaker 2>have had the same.

0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:47.319
<v Speaker 4>Experience out Here's something I never thought I was gonna say.

0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:50.880
<v Speaker 4>I never thought a story that tell us your ash story.

0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:53.840
<v Speaker 4>Everyone must have an Ash's story.

0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.199
<v Speaker 2>Maybe not as bad as law as maybe worse. I

0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.040
<v Speaker 2>don't know, but I feel like you're not alone. I

0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:00.959
<v Speaker 2>also do want to prefit this like sorry, sorry, Papa.

0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 2>They would have laughed. My nan and Papa had a

0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:05.560
<v Speaker 2>great sense of humor, and I do think it was

0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 2>my Papa just out there like woo. Laura will laugh

0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:09.800
<v Speaker 2>at this. She can take it.

0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:11.760
<v Speaker 3>We say this with love, and you know, I'm sure

0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:13.400
<v Speaker 3>the calls will come with love, I hope.

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:14.280
<v Speaker 1>So we'll take him next.

0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:17.920
<v Speaker 3>But Laura, you've got some grandpa, and yes, she's got

0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:19.800
<v Speaker 3>somesh in your mister, get your TSSU in the ad break.

0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:23.320
<v Speaker 2>Guys, we're talking about something that might be a little

0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:27.240
<v Speaker 2>on the nose, and that is we're talking about scattering ashes.

0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 2>I think we don't talk about it enough. Just how

0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:33.920
<v Speaker 2>scattering of ashes could really go wrong. There's a lot

0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:37.079
<v Speaker 2>of variables there, Like there's winds back in your face.

0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:39.360
<v Speaker 4>Tell everyone what you did? You accidentally ate your grandpa.

0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:42.280
<v Speaker 2>I accidentally flicked Papa into my face and down my

0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:44.800
<v Speaker 2>top and all over me. I was covered from head

0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:46.240
<v Speaker 2>to toe in Nana and Papa.

0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:48.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, you also mix them together. It was a hybrid

0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:49.920
<v Speaker 3>of Nan and Pa, wasn't it? Because because it's a

0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:51.439
<v Speaker 3>little bit about me. It was a little bit of both.

0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, cal My Colombe.

0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:54.960
<v Speaker 2>The reason why we're talking about this is because I

0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:57.400
<v Speaker 2>am certain I can't be the only person this has

0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:59.320
<v Speaker 2>happened to. I think that there's a problem here, and

0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.120
<v Speaker 2>I reckon a lot of people who have ever gone

0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:04.240
<v Speaker 2>to a nice scattering of the ashes realized it didn't

0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:05.240
<v Speaker 2>go exactly as planned.

0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what went wrong when you scattered the ashes? Kate?

0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Hello, Hi guys, hikay.

0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:16.960
<v Speaker 9>You're not alone. We decided to take my grandfather down

0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:19.600
<v Speaker 9>on a boat down in Baitman's Bay, down south of Sydney,

0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:23.000
<v Speaker 9>where he wanted to be scattered, got the family, it

0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:26.000
<v Speaker 9>was all a really nice day. Eventually got the box

0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:29.959
<v Speaker 9>oven and also lovely words. That was really nice, and

0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:33.079
<v Speaker 9>kill my dad and two of my uncles down the

0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:35.880
<v Speaker 9>other end of the boat started coughing and choking, and

0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:39.600
<v Speaker 9>the wind had picked up, and lo and behold they

0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:40.920
<v Speaker 9>were crunching on.

0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:43.760
<v Speaker 4>You, ate grandpa too.

0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:46.320
<v Speaker 2>This is a theme will live on inside you.

0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:48.679
<v Speaker 1>Honey, Honey, I shrunk the kids.

0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.320
<v Speaker 2>Also, no one talks about how hard it is to

0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:55.240
<v Speaker 2>open that damn box so hard? Thank you? Is it

0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:56.480
<v Speaker 2>not hard to swallow?

0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.240
<v Speaker 4>The ashes like dry, not with you wash it down

0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:00.280
<v Speaker 4>with right.

0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Come on, it's not miss quick. It doesn't turn to

0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:03.720
<v Speaker 1>milk Milo.

0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:06.280
<v Speaker 4>It's like you know the milo cough, the dry miloc

0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:06.720
<v Speaker 4>you know when.

0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:08.320
<v Speaker 3>You have a cappuccino and the bruister was too much

0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:13.920
<v Speaker 3>coffee on top and inhale. First except except it's Grandpa, okay, next, all,

0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:16.160
<v Speaker 3>all right, Amanda, what happened with the ashes?

0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:22.120
<v Speaker 6>Hi? Guys? This one was on the weekend. We were

0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:26.880
<v Speaker 6>spreading my dad's ashes fuck Caloundra and it was thank you.

0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:30.520
<v Speaker 6>It was a beautiful day. And just before we're getting

0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:32.680
<v Speaker 6>ready to, you know, do this thing for my dad,

0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:36.320
<v Speaker 6>my auntie says, well, I hope what doesn't happen to

0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:38.800
<v Speaker 6>Grandma happens again. And I said, well, well what happened

0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:41.160
<v Speaker 6>to Grandma? And she said, well, you know it's the

0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:44.400
<v Speaker 6>same still, the same place. It's beautiful, but the swamps

0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:47.280
<v Speaker 6>And I said, what about the swamps? And she said, well,

0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:49.640
<v Speaker 6>the three three black swamps just came on over and

0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.920
<v Speaker 6>started gobbling her up, just started eating Grandma and everyone

0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:58.000
<v Speaker 6>and everyone back on the shore was trying to either

0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:00.760
<v Speaker 6>laugh or cry. And then I was I thought this

0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:04.040
<v Speaker 6>was hysterically funny, but also was semi horror hied and

0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:06.440
<v Speaker 6>then I told my husband, quick, go look this one.

0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:07.840
<v Speaker 6>Get rid of them.

0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:11.000
<v Speaker 2>So I thought it was bird food. They thought it

0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:11.400
<v Speaker 2>was like.

0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:17.120
<v Speaker 5>I'm shocked at how many people are eating their family's ashes.

0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Erin what happened to your ashes?

0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:23.120
<v Speaker 7>Aron? So my grandfather died a few years ago and

0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:28.360
<v Speaker 7>he was cremated and with a double amputee, so not

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:34.360
<v Speaker 7>much of him was in the ashes container. However, Grandma

0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:36.280
<v Speaker 7>went to have a look at him one day and

0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:39.440
<v Speaker 7>managed to drop him on the carpet and she vacuumed

0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:42.400
<v Speaker 7>him up, so there wasn't much of him there to

0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:46.200
<v Speaker 7>begin with, and then came vacum half of him up.

0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:49.040
<v Speaker 5>It's actually smart because as soon as it goes up,

0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:51.320
<v Speaker 5>you can just detach the little cylinder and then you've

0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:53.720
<v Speaker 5>got to makeshift. Earn he's already in the earth like

0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:59.160
<v Speaker 5>a die.

0:15:57.880 --> 0:15:58.400
<v Speaker 7>Into the bed.

0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:00.600
<v Speaker 6>I'm mad.

0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:04.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if that's I want to do?

0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:06.960
<v Speaker 5>You know what my parents want, because I think it's

0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:09.720
<v Speaker 5>really important to talk about. Yes, my parents want to

0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:13.280
<v Speaker 5>be cremated and then made into jewelry that I wear.

0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:16.120
<v Speaker 1>Really like a choker or an anklet, or we'll get.

0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:19.240
<v Speaker 5>Them made into rings, necklace and so that like I

0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:20.520
<v Speaker 5>think it's actually really beautiful.

0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:20.880
<v Speaker 4>You can't.

0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:22.920
<v Speaker 5>It doesn't look like ash. She gets made into the

0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:25.360
<v Speaker 5>jewelry in the stone, but you know that like your

0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:28.840
<v Speaker 5>dad's on your finger, yeah, it's your.

0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:30.320
<v Speaker 2>Mom's around your neck. We get requests for it all

0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:32.240
<v Speaker 2>the time, so like if anyone doesn't know, like, I'm

0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:34.880
<v Speaker 2>a jewery designer by trade, and people request all the

0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.040
<v Speaker 2>time to have the ashes turned into like a resin

0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:40.480
<v Speaker 2>stone that then gets set. But also that's probably a

0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:41.760
<v Speaker 2>nicer way to remember them.

0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:44.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, listen, obviously, you know we touched on some serious

0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:47.000
<v Speaker 3>topics condolences, oil calls and to your your papa and

0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:47.640
<v Speaker 3>your grammar.

0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah it's serious, it is.

0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:51.240
<v Speaker 2>But also I think that they're all around us and

0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:52.280
<v Speaker 2>they're laughing along too.

0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:55.200
<v Speaker 1>That's right, all right, Well up next, see you tomorrow.
