1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: Jum Mission with James and Amanda. Now. Yesterday we interviewed

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: Jeff Wold on this show. He is Helen Reddy's ex husband.

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: He was her manager through the height of all her

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: extraordinary fame. Her main song, as you know, was this one. Yes,

5
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: I have to mime every time I hear it. Interestingly,

6
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: when we spoke to him yesterday, he said that when

7
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: they first put that song to the record company, well

8
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: this was the quote, the exact quote from the record

9
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,639
Speaker 1: company at the time. Why do you let your way

10
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,639
Speaker 1: to do this women's leg ship? That was wrong? So ironic,

11
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 1: it wasn't it. But I had a profound moment yesterday.

12
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: I used to mime into that song in my hairbrush

13
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 1: in front of the mirror when I was about thirteen,

14
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: and the song because I was becoming a woman, I guess,

15
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: but I wasn't aware that that song was the anthem

16
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: for a generation of women's rights. Maybe I was aware,

17
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but I felt quite profoundly yesterday that

18
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: Howard had come full circle for me. That here I was,

19
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: at fifty eight miming along to that song on a

20
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: radio show. I would have been thrilled to think, Wow,

21
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: isn't that amazing, But the fact that I could have

22
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: a radio show, the fact I could have a family

23
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: and have a career, and all the opportunities I've had

24
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: which my mum didn't have, sure were your mind. Had

25
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: to quit a job, didn't she When she got married,

26
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: she had to leave a job in the bank. Women

27
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 1: who were married couldn't stay in the bank. All of

28
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: the things that I am grateful for in my life

29
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: have come about because of the movement that I was

30
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: singing along to all those years ago and didn't even

31
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: know about it. And I felt huge gratitude for the

32
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: hard work that all those women and men have done

33
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: throughout all those years, and what that song meant to

34
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,559
Speaker 1: them and what it means to me. I just felt

35
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: quite goose bumpy thinking of the journey of that song

36
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: in my life as well as everybody else. It's a

37
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: very iconic song, although it was used in an incontinence

38
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: pad commercials. Yeah for tenor lady, do you remember that? Well,

39
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: if we could wipe out female incontinence, I'd be very

40
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: happy as well. Give it up for your pelvic floor

41
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: laders with join Z and Amanda
