- 2:40Speaker 1: was about cartoons and it was sarcastic, but it was
- 2:44Speaker 1: about the negative effect of violence on young people. And
- 2:48Speaker 1: I got to the final. I think I came third
- 2:50Speaker 1: in the In the year I could all. I could
- 2:52Speaker 1: never do a serious one. It always had to be stupid,

- 2:58Speaker 3: I can't remember my first ever speech, but I can
- 3:02Speaker 3: remember my first ever performance at primary school. And I

- 3:52Speaker 3: No, I was a young.
- 3:55Speaker 1: It was pretty cute. It's pretty cud.
- 3:58Speaker 3: I just I don't know why that's stuck in my head.
- 4:01Speaker 1: That you still know. Yeah, yeah, thirty three years performative. Yes,
- 4:08Speaker 1: it isn't real. They're big, but they do burn a
- 4:10Speaker 1: hole in you. And I remember doing one at college
- 4:14Speaker 1: and just in front of the class to get into
- 4:15Speaker 1: the final and there instead, and just because I hated it,
- 4:19Speaker 1: and absolutely hated it. I was terrified, Yes, and been
- 4:23Speaker 1: up the front and at the desks right at the front,
- 4:27Speaker 1: We're too sweet at smoke show, Swedish Exchange students right there,
- 4:31Speaker 1: and so you'd stand right in front of them, and
- 4:33Speaker 1: I was freaking out, freaking out, and one of them
- 4:37Speaker 1: said to the other one, oh look his hands are shaking.
- 4:40Speaker 3: Oh no.
- 4:42Speaker 1: The whole Arky Big Show wee days from four on
- 4:45Speaker 1: Radio Hurdarchy.
- 4:46Speaker 4: You know how good the Hadarky Big Show podcasters.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Mores BG and you get it.
- 4:55Speaker 4: You're gonna get around the live radio show even white
- 5:00Speaker 4: days on Radio Hierarchy. And I'm her Radio.
- 5:04Speaker 1: You're born nice. Remember they Big show podcast Absolute and
- 5:12Speaker 1: I got into the final but it was just like
- 5:13Speaker 1: hearing that just you know, like fifteen or sixteen, I'm
- 5:18Speaker 1: going off the cads. My daughter's seven, No cads. Yes,
- 5:22Speaker 1: it is.
- 5:23Speaker 2: Also girls just way better at studying and practicing.
- 5:27Speaker 1: And honestly, dud and when you have a kid, you'll
- 5:29Speaker 1: find the fucking memories on these things. Yeah, that's extraordinary.
- 5:34Speaker 1: Like we used to read books to Moggie and Ogi
- 5:37Speaker 1: and like I'm talking like dense, dense books, like normal books,
- 5:43Speaker 1: and you would start reading them to her and she
- 5:46Speaker 1: was like two and a half or three, and she
- 5:48Speaker 1: would just start reciting the entire page after she knew
- 5:53Speaker 1: the whole thing off by heart. Page it was. It
- 5:57Speaker 1: was unsettling, Yes it was, and it was and you're
- 6:01Speaker 1: just cracking and then she's cracking up. Just keep on
- 6:03Speaker 1: looking at you, just doing the whole it was there,
- 6:05Speaker 1: they're amazing. It must be because the human brain it
- 6:09Speaker 1: is wasted on you, kizy. And that's the moral of
- 6:13Speaker 1: the story here. But we need a joke in there somewhere.
- 6:17Speaker 2: It must because the concept I don't have to worry
- 6:20Speaker 2: about anything outside of going to school and reading books.
- 6:22Speaker 1: It's because it's a brand new hard drive. Yes, brand new.
- 6:25Speaker 1: And so the other day jos I was having that memory.
- 6:27Speaker 1: She would I couldn't remember the someone who I know
- 6:29Speaker 1: very well. Yes, it's like when you search on your
- 6:32Speaker 1: mail and it's looking through all the emails and it's
- 6:34Speaker 1: just got that wheel spinning around. Yes, I put it
- 6:37Speaker 1: in here somewhere. You just got so much shit in
- 6:39Speaker 1: your brain, totally. Your your memory is just fuck oh
- 6:42Speaker 1: ship for brains.
- 6:43Speaker 3: In terms of I remember very well. You know, girls
- 6:46Speaker 3: and speeches were always very well prepared because I used
- 6:51Speaker 3: to do debating as well, and I used to hate
- 6:54Speaker 3: debating girls because they were always so especially darcist in
- 6:58Speaker 3: school for girls, because they always had like really clever
- 7:02Speaker 3: little riddles. But be be be be, and you go, yeah,
- 7:10Speaker 3: whatever you've got. I think I told you this. I
- 7:14Speaker 3: remember because I did speeches at school when I was
- 7:18Speaker 3: at deal with and all the time. And I remember
- 7:22Speaker 3: one time the judges and this is no word of
- 7:24Speaker 3: a lie. I think I've told you this, no word
- 7:28Speaker 3: of a lie. I gave my speech and then the
- 7:32Speaker 3: judges you, no, we're talking me through. What they really
- 7:37Speaker 3: liked about the speech and then they said, but Jason,
- 7:41Speaker 3: you need to be weir and it's probably just nerves,
- 7:44Speaker 3: but you tend to touch your testicles while you're doing
- 7:47Speaker 3: I'm not bullshiting in front of the entire fucking school.
- 7:52Speaker 3: And I'm like, well, fuck, because I think I did.
- 7:56Speaker 3: Like when I speak doing speech, I would grab.
- 7:57Speaker 1: My balls set. Yeah, it's a comfort. It's a comfort totally.
- 8:01Speaker 3: And it was just like, okay, well you could have
- 8:04Speaker 3: maybe left that bit out or.
- 8:06Speaker 2: Just like taking me aside, save there for later far out.
- 8:11Speaker 1: It's a good thing to do, isn't it.
- 8:13Speaker 2: I still remember, like the girls in my class, the
- 8:15Speaker 2: Q cards would be like amazingly decorated.
- 8:17Speaker 1: And like just you start the year like that. So
- 8:21Speaker 1: I'm going to be neat this year and like within
- 8:23Speaker 1: two days it's turned into.
- 8:26Speaker 3: New stationary, new station. I loved it.
- 8:30Speaker 1: Yeah, what rolled it? Sorry? Jerisalem Yeah, I know. I
- 8:34Speaker 1: could never keep the bubbles.
- 8:37Speaker 3: I remember once and.
- 8:41Speaker 2: Because you could put little like print out draw pictures
- 8:44Speaker 2: and then put them under the clear Jurisseelles looks cool.
- 8:46Speaker 1: It always looks like ship. Yeah, it's amazing, isn't it.
- 8:49Speaker 1: Put some plastic over all your books? Yeah, good ship?
- 8:52Speaker 3: I remember I was so obsessed by stationary and particularly
- 8:58Speaker 3: erases rubbers. I remember I was given this massive eraser.
- 9:03Speaker 3: It was just like a big bar of soap basically,
- 9:07Speaker 3: and I went, now, I don't want to just use
- 9:10Speaker 3: all that up, so I cut it into cubes. My god,
- 9:18Speaker 3: no bullshit. I cut it into cubes and I had
- 9:21Speaker 3: one for each specific day.
- 9:23Speaker 1: Oh my, and how old did that last? A year? Well?
- 9:27Speaker 1: Actually do it? Oh?
- 9:28Speaker 3: Yeah, totally.
- 9:29Speaker 1: I would have had best intentions.
- 9:31Speaker 3: But is that adhd or I.
- 9:33Speaker 1: Think it just means you're a loser. When you're doing
- 9:37Speaker 1: you're debating. What position were you first? Second, or third?
- 9:40Speaker 3: I tended to be first.
- 9:43Speaker 1: Did you see it up the argument, play out what
- 9:45Speaker 1: your team was going to be talking about, and give
- 9:47Speaker 1: some of the initial arguments. Yes, I was third. I
- 9:51Speaker 1: do a battle, Yeah, a battle which I really enjoyed.
- 9:54Speaker 3: Yes, you'd be good at that test preparation you see, Yeah, totally.
- 9:57Speaker 1: You had to pick out what the other speakers said,
- 9:59Speaker 1: and yeah.
- 10:02Speaker 2: I probably going to be one of the other speakers,
- 10:05Speaker 2: but would come get out your mad bustards.
- 10:09Speaker 1: That would be good. Actually, we could have a debate
- 10:11Speaker 1: against breakfast.
- 10:15Speaker 2: That's not a bad idea that could be all right,
- 10:17Speaker 2: because you put the jackets on the ties, and you
- 10:19Speaker 2: put the what is it the the subject, what's it called.
- 10:23Speaker 1: It's the proposal or the the moot, the moat and
- 10:30Speaker 1: either for or against pro or something.
- 10:34Speaker 2: And the top of moot today is the topic has
- 10:36Speaker 2: to be something that's like.
- 10:40Speaker 3: Tear.
- 10:41Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So we were doing something along the lines
- 10:44Speaker 1: of it came up with somethings. Yeah, that's right, but
- 10:54Speaker 1: something more personal than that that the Breakfast Show sucks.
- 10:58Speaker 1: For example, we would and we would be negative, so
- 11:03Speaker 1: and then they would be positive, so they would have
- 11:05Speaker 1: to agree with them Breakfast show actually sucks.
- 11:09Speaker 5: Yeah, that would be funny and we'd be like, yeah,
- 11:14Speaker 5: hard one to argue Fellers.
- 11:17Speaker 1: I've never done at the bait. I think I'd enjoy it. Yeah,
- 11:19Speaker 1: they were good. I was glad to stump across. Yeah.
- 11:22Speaker 3: I did them for years and speeches.
- 11:25Speaker 1: It was good. And drama that is good. Drama. Yeah, drama.
- 11:29Speaker 1: My next door neighbor, she was the mother of nine
- 11:32Speaker 1: and she taught drama. But it never occurred to me.
- 11:34Speaker 1: I just thought, you, it's a pretty quick way in
- 11:37Speaker 1: Levin to get your heat kicked in. Yeah. But I
- 11:39Speaker 1: also don't really understand it. Yeah, drama it's great.
- 11:44Speaker 5: It's at the beginning, in the first couple of years
- 11:45Speaker 5: you're running around playing games. Yeah, and then the year
- 11:49Speaker 5: after they're like, all right, cool, this is betult bricked.
- 11:52Speaker 5: We're going to read all this thing and we're going
- 11:54Speaker 5: to memorize it all. And then you have to do
- 11:56Speaker 5: like a monologue, and then you have to write a journal.
- 11:58Speaker 5: And then it was just like turned into all the
- 11:59Speaker 5: theory and I was.
- 12:00Speaker 3: Oh God, my wife's doing her first drama class with
- 12:05Speaker 3: the kiddies today.
- 12:07Speaker 1: Here's a teacher, there's a teacher. Aren't they all different ages?
- 12:11Speaker 3: Yeah? They are, but I think today it's all like
- 12:14Speaker 3: nine year olds or ten year olds.
- 12:16Speaker 1: That's good.
- 12:16Speaker 3: So it's more a case of we're going to put
- 12:18Speaker 3: a video on and just watch that day. Yeah.
