5
00:00:27,925 --> 00:00:31,685
Speaker 1: Oasis are here opening night Tomorrow night, Friday night at Marvel,

6
00:00:31,725 --> 00:00:33,885
Speaker 1: then Saturday night. Then they got a couple of days

00:00:33,885 --> 00:00:36,684
Speaker 1: of sight seeing. Then they're back on next Tuesday night.

8
00:00:36,725 --> 00:00:39,925
Speaker 1: We have tickets at seven this morning. I cannot wait

9
00:00:40,445 --> 00:00:43,605
Speaker 1: going tomorrow night. Oh, I cannot believe it's funny here. Yeah,

10
00:00:43,604 --> 00:00:45,205
Speaker 1: I'm finding this year is a really quick here, but

11
00:00:45,405 --> 00:00:47,525
Speaker 1: it's the last twelve months. And when it was announced

12
00:00:47,845 --> 00:00:49,964
Speaker 1: tickets went on sale, there was that frenzy trying to

13
00:00:49,964 --> 00:00:52,964
Speaker 1: buy the tickets. But then there was the fear that

14
00:00:53,004 --> 00:00:56,045
Speaker 1: actually they either wouldn't even make the London shows without

15
00:00:56,085 --> 00:00:58,605
Speaker 1: busting up after so long, you know, with a really

16
00:00:58,645 --> 00:01:02,325
Speaker 1: horrible breakup and being separated, that they'd never make it

17
00:01:02,365 --> 00:01:03,805
Speaker 1: hit to Australia, that they might just some of the

18
00:01:03,845 --> 00:01:06,685
Speaker 1: European shows, but not all the way to So I

19
00:01:06,725 --> 00:01:10,605
Speaker 1: can't believe they're in the country in Melbourne. They arrived yesterday.

20
00:01:10,805 --> 00:01:14,325
Speaker 1: It is now tomorrow night. Yesterday, when I was in

21
00:01:14,405 --> 00:01:17,045
Speaker 1: my Uber. Heading home from the airport, I was looking

22
00:01:17,085 --> 00:01:19,325
Speaker 1: at news stories that we might talk about today's show,

23
00:01:19,685 --> 00:01:23,565
Speaker 1: and I just saw the headline rio that said Queensland

24
00:01:23,645 --> 00:01:28,525
Speaker 1: schools study the wrong Caesar. This is an unbelievable story

25
00:01:28,725 --> 00:01:31,925
Speaker 1: about these poor Year twelve students. And heart goes out

26
00:01:31,925 --> 00:01:33,325
Speaker 1: to all the mums and dads and the kids doing

27
00:01:33,405 --> 00:01:35,165
Speaker 1: Year twelve in the It's a big year for the

28
00:01:35,245 --> 00:01:38,365
Speaker 1: kids and us parents are sort of just walking alongside

29
00:01:38,365 --> 00:01:41,605
Speaker 1: it with them. This is the worst possible story you need.

30
00:01:41,605 --> 00:01:45,325
Speaker 2: Mate, This is barely believable. It's like something from the Onion.

31
00:01:45,645 --> 00:01:49,485
Speaker 2: So there were six, sorry eight schools in Queensland in

32
00:01:49,525 --> 00:01:52,125
Speaker 2: the year twelfth history exam. For the past years they've

33
00:01:52,125 --> 00:01:54,925
Speaker 2: been studying Augustus Caesar.

34
00:01:55,525 --> 00:02:01,085
Speaker 1: So Julius Caesar was Augustus's great uncle. Oh okay, yes,

35
00:02:01,205 --> 00:02:03,765
Speaker 1: good knowledge. I didn't know when he was assassinated in

36
00:02:03,885 --> 00:02:07,525
Speaker 1: his will. I believe that he adopted because he was

37
00:02:07,605 --> 00:02:10,125
Speaker 1: very as like a mentor to Augustus.

38
00:02:11,245 --> 00:02:13,605
Speaker 2: And so now this year they've switched it. Instead of

39
00:02:13,605 --> 00:02:17,805
Speaker 2: doing Augustus Caesar, now they're focusing on Julius Caesar. But

40
00:02:18,045 --> 00:02:21,085
Speaker 2: eight of these schools in Queensland either didn't get the

41
00:02:21,165 --> 00:02:25,045
Speaker 2: memo or there's been some sort of just misunderstanding with

42
00:02:25,125 --> 00:02:25,605
Speaker 2: the two.

43
00:02:25,445 --> 00:02:27,685
Speaker 1: Seasons exam was about the other Caesar.

44
00:02:28,045 --> 00:02:31,965
Speaker 2: The exam is about Julius Caesar, and like, well not so.

45
00:02:32,365 --> 00:02:33,925
Speaker 1: Just to try and break that down, that's like you

46
00:02:34,005 --> 00:02:37,205
Speaker 1: study Prince Harry for a year and you go, there's

47
00:02:37,205 --> 00:02:40,605
Speaker 1: a bloody question about King Charles. Oh, you've been studying

48
00:02:40,605 --> 00:02:44,405
Speaker 1: Taylor swith lyrics and it's Travis Kelse's playbook. But these

49
00:02:44,405 --> 00:02:47,085
Speaker 1: are two different things, two different people.

50
00:02:47,005 --> 00:02:49,685
Speaker 2: And can you imagine how do you tell the students that, like,

51
00:02:49,725 --> 00:02:52,204
Speaker 2: how do you sit them down and be like, okay.

52
00:02:52,005 --> 00:02:55,725
Speaker 1: Two days time? It's everything. They work so hard. They

53
00:02:55,765 --> 00:02:58,725
Speaker 1: really believe that it's gonna it's the currency to unlock

54
00:02:58,725 --> 00:03:00,525
Speaker 1: in the rest of her life, and it's really easy

55
00:03:00,565 --> 00:03:02,565
Speaker 1: for grown ups. You decided to go, oh, it's okay.

56
00:03:02,765 --> 00:03:04,845
Speaker 1: I sawt the Education minister said, look, it's not the

57
00:03:04,885 --> 00:03:07,285
Speaker 1: end of the world. That isn't going to help me.

58
00:03:07,845 --> 00:03:10,085
Speaker 1: It does feel this to them, and that can't be

59
00:03:10,125 --> 00:03:13,005
Speaker 1: really no, no, it's really really unfair. The other thing

60
00:03:13,005 --> 00:03:15,245
Speaker 1: that really caught my mind is like, wait, they're doing

61
00:03:15,325 --> 00:03:19,125
Speaker 1: Roman history in this country. That's the biggest story for me.

62
00:03:19,525 --> 00:03:21,405
Speaker 1: Let's star let's star get Let's still get lost in

63
00:03:21,405 --> 00:03:24,285
Speaker 1: the weeds or the wrong season. That's a shadow that

64
00:03:24,365 --> 00:03:27,965
Speaker 1: Queensland is looking at Roman history. That's good though.
