1
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: Head break body, it's time for Chelsea and Amanda's cutting

2
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: for Gray.

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 2: Hello, it's our podcast, as he stifles a yawn, it's

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 2: not stifling.

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,239
Speaker 1: It was just full on you. I saw the back

6
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: of your gums.

7
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 2: It's not because of anything you've said, my friend.

8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 1: I have never been bored by you in my life.

9
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: There was one time, just the one what's on the potty?

10
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: Are you on the potty? I've saw this very interesting

11
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: a series of statistics, and it really makes you humble

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: and grateful to be here, to be born. So when

13
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: you yell at your parents, I didn't know us to

14
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: be born.

15
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

16
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: So many extraordinary things have to be in place for

17
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: you to have a will, a place in the universe.

18
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: It's quite mind blowing. Let me take you through it.

19
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: In order to be born, you need two parents, four grandparents,

20
00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: eight great grandparents, sixteen great great grandparents, thirty two third

21
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: great grandparents, sixty four fourth great grandparents, one hundred and

22
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: twenty five fifth great grandparents. I won't go through all

23
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: the numbers because you'll get bored, Okay, five hundred and

24
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: twelve seventh great grandparents one and twenty four eighth great

25
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: grandparents and two thousand and forty eight ninth great grandparents

26
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: over twelve generations spanning approximately four hundred years. You needed

27
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: a total of four thousand and ninety four ancestors for

28
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: you to come into existow, and not just the people

29
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: at the numbers, But as it says here, we are

30
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: the result of thousands of lives, choices, and sacrifices that

31
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: came before us, and also the lucky ones who some

32
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: fell by the wayside, through famine, through war, through all

33
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: kinds of things. We are the result of the survivors,

34
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: and as they say here, the sacrifices they make to

35
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: have children. It's extraordinary, isn't it It is? That's amazing. Yeah,

36
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: how did we get here? Well? Do you write cards

37
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: to them all?

38
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 2: Well? I was just thinking, there's some booty come on

39
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 2: my way from my ninth great great great grand parents,

40
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: because there's four thousand.

41
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: Of them, I know, but they also probably have four

42
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: thousand and descendants.

43
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know how I recently became a grandfather.

44
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 2: I was holding my little grandson the other day and

45
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: he's two weeks old. There was a world where he

46
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: didn't exist. Two weeks ago, he didn't exist.

47
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: Do you wonder what you talked about before the baby

48
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: came along. That's all you look at now. Don't want

49
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: to get a dog? I think, what did we ever

50
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 1: talk about the dog?

51
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: My mate Dave, he recently became a grandfather as well,

52
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 2: and leading up to it, I said, how are you going?

53
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: Are excited about.

54
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: The imminent baby arrival? And he said, it's just baby

55
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: this and baby that. That's all these women talk about.

56
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: And then they sent you a picture of him holding

57
00:02:59,240 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: his crunch.

58
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: Of course.

59
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 2: Baby this.

60
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, everyone falls for the and rightly so those

61
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: big gougye eyes that this is what this is about,

62
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: the passing on of your gens, and the sacrifices you

63
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: made for you to have Morgan, for Morgan to meet Zoe,

64
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: the sacrifices her parents made, for all of that to

65
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: come together to create the uniqueness of that human being

66
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: individual amenable in the world.

67
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: There's good individuals and bad individuals, you know, like out

68
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: of Hitler.

69
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: I don't think your children have given birth to the antiquary.

70
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 2: Now. I'm just saying that Adolf Hitler, his parents would

71
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: have loved him and thought he was great and all

72
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: that sort of stuff.

73
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: Well, they say, hey, you're going to be Your son's

74
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: going to be the leader of Germany?

75
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: Is it?

76
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: How wonderful is that.

77
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: I Abe has some sort of rakish mustache range, not.

78
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: Like his mother. But this goes on to say, this

79
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: reminds us of how precious and unique our existence is,

80
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: a gift shaped by generations of ancestors. We should remember

81
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: to honor their legacy by living with purpose, honor, and gratitude.

82
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: But you look at how we're here today, You and

83
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: I are. We've been doing this for a long time now.

84
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 2: But the very genesis of our radio show started in

85
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety nine when your co host Andrew Denton went

86
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: sick and I was called in at the last minute

87
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 2: to fill in. As the opener of the show was playing,

88
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 2: I shut up, said I knew you vaguely. I said, hello,

89
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: Amanda and Brendan, your co host today. Imagine Andrew hadn't gone.

90
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: Se Well, every moment of our lives are made up

91
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: of the sliding doors, aren't they Indeed? And sometimes the

92
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: sliding doors go your way, which has given us our survival,

93
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: our gift of being alive. Yeah, and sometimes the sliding

94
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: doors don't go your way. Stay away from doors, I

95
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: think is pretty much the message exactly. That's what I

96
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: think you're saying. I think so.

97
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 2: I think you would have been spared a lot of

98
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: grief had that sliding door not gone my way.

99
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: What would my life.

100
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 2: Be.

101
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: I'd be working in a dog sanctuary, padding labradors all

102
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: day and loving myself sick and on the medicinal Maryland.

103
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: And you'd be doing Midnight to Dawn's in Karafa.

104
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: I would be like Harry Chabin and w O. L. D.

105
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,320
