A list-nuff production.
Get our legends and welcome to another RIP episode of the Anti-Donna podcast.
This week is the seventh installment of our annual 3AW Christmas special.
Remember, if you want to watch video versions of the podcast, you can find them at anti-donnaclub.com. here. Wild Wild Bells to the wild sky, the flying cloud, the frosty flight.
We are as dying in the night, ring out wild Bells and let him die.
Ring out hold, ring in the new, ring in happy Bells across the snow, the year is going.
Let him go.
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring in the valiant man and free, the larger heart, the kindly a hand.
Ring out the darkness in the land.
Ring in the Christ that is to be.
A beautiful play from Alfred Lord Tennyson.
We play, he said play.
A poem poem, man.
We all make mistakes.
Written in the 1800s and as relevant today,
as the rise of the 18th century.
Beautiful and hello and welcome to the nightline,
not 3-8 hour years.
Another Christmas year, another year older,
but that Christmas festive spirit still remains.
And good evening, gentlemen.
Happy Sunday evening.
Happy Sunday, yeah.
Happy Sunday.
And I have to say, what a glorious Christmas it is.
Yes.
Dictator Dan is out.
He's gone.
He's gone. That's gone. That's that's Chris was president now.
You get rid of that music.
Yeah. Plus, not the music.
Yeah.
Come, stop the music.
I was too much.
I thought maybe it'd just be at the start and get going.
No one's fault.
No way.
Like when I go to the MCG now to see my beloved Hawthorne Hawks, I go there and they're
playing that boom that carry on in your car and hit yourself.
Think at the ground
I remember back in when 1965 when I was 38 and I would go and see them and it would just be the cheers of the crowd
Well, I thought I tasted a great job. I thought they would be a little bit a little bit
You know loud provocative
But you've got to bring in the young people with with the
Kiss this you provoking, but you've got to bring in the young people with the young people. That's right.
Kiss this, you were fantastic.
And I think that they would have brought in the young people.
I thought Creedans would have done a better job.
Creedans, clear water, five water.
I don't think they could get Creedans this year.
And I pray for the day that they do.
I don't think they should just get up.
The king of the screen, Graham Kennedy.
He would be a riot.
And he'd teach a couple of these young kids,
you know, about what's real comedy.
He's more than just vocals in.
That's the thing, you know, they were all around entertainers,
you know, I remember I started out my career in media
working as a GTV.
Yeah, working at GTV.
And I remember I would just watch him every night.
He would come on and he would come alive. and I remember I would just watch him every night he would
Come on and he would come alive Yeah, and I remember just thinking he's not talking to the people in the audience
He's not talk he's looking down the camera and he is talking to every single person at home
And and and that's a skilled you can't teach yeah, and what what sort of TV did you watch that on? No, I was there
I was there I was I was there intern or are you?
Well, we didn't really do intern was back then. We have a lot of interns, unpaid interns working at craft serves.
No, no, no, I started out. I was in the mail room back in 54. Oh, yeah.
And but I by the time I was there, I was I was actually writing writing of the intros and outros, that sort of thing.
I didn't, of course, get on to the screen or behind the microphone.
No, no, no.
Well, when I started, wasn't the ambition was radio.
That was as big as you could get, was getting on the talking box.
And then, for a while, I was around, then this someone approached me and said,
I'm working on screen on television
programs and that was of course thought a step down from the radio wouldn't take off.
And obviously today shows like Copper Art and other things are just, we are just a part
of us.
Water rats and blue-heeled.
Blue murder.
Blue murder.
I don't know what my act was.
Right, the other day.
It was the YouTube.
Oh yes, yeah. Murder. Do you know what my act was? Great news, I was sitting up for me the other day.
It was the YouTube.
It was the YouTube on my...
Oh, yes, yes.
And I said, I don't want to watch this YouTube with the...
And he goes, no, no, there's old clips.
You know, you've got your gardening shows.

And turns out, sure, you know, sure.
From Sunny and Shoe.
Yeah, she has upload a lot of the
performances I'm not familiar with that one. She has uploaded a lot of performances from the show show
Well, I love the back when entertainment was about entertaining you know singers
and dancers and and songstresses announced just about you know the
like it's a move cyclists on the road and who's having sex with who and and and and who
murdered who and who's who's totally dating this week oh I couldn't get too many bikes
on the road you know these bike lanes and and which lanes are the ones left for the cars,
are there room for cars anymore? No, I was out for a widen with the idle last week.
What wine did you have? Oh, I had a red wine, she had a wine. Just wine or a meal?
Oh, we had a meal, you know. What did you have? What did you have? We down to that hotel
and joined down in Crown Crusader, you know, in Crown with the, um,
not familiar with the name. I'm not familiar with the name. I'm a little bit of love
or kiddo. One of the etter, the etter, the girls out the front, they ordered a tour.
And we went down and I told her, I said, bring back the shoe show on ABC. What did
you have? What did you have? I said, you know what you need to do. You need to bring
back the shoe show.
And she said, I don't know, sure.
I'm not familiar with how to get in touch with her.
Sure would be too expensive, she explained.
And I said, well, you know what, I think the taxpayers would be a lot happier paying that tax
to go to you if you had the bloody shoe show off.
Lips for days.
Oh, she was using that.
Oh, I thought about Cheryl from the first.
That Rhonda who...
Ronda Bertranda.
It's no Christmas without a visit from ronda,

Car parks are shopping the centers we can harder to get them and the kids
Oh, oh, gran and pop I want this so on that I want the latest ray gun or the you know my
Taco Bell or a little some sort of
Construction block and build the build the death cruiser in if he's or crypto shoes or
for us in if he's or crypto shoes or I don't understand any of that.
Do you know what my elders said?
Digital washing.
Yeah.
Digital washing.
Yeah, the kids they wanted to do
they're washing online now.
What happened to the days of the
old board and soap bar?
Just catch a taxi.
Catch a taxi.
Bloody idiot, Uber's on your phone.
When you can just get in a bloody taxi,
I'll get onto the road, I'll call it.
I get into the other week. I was out onto the road, I'll call it. I'll get in the other week.
I was out for dinner with my elders.
What'd you have?
I got the, I got a sweatshirt.
Where'd you go?
A beautiful place is around an eagle month where you are, Jane.
No, but we went down to that sort of that nice place
in the crayon casino complex.
The Italian place?
Bistro Goyon.
Yeah, the French place.
Yeah, the French place,
the just on the river of the crayon. It's good to have that. It's a fancy Yeah, the French place. Yeah, the French place. Yeah, yeah.
Just on the river of the crown.
It's gonna have a fancy food, but you get some chips for the table.
Yeah, and they're good.
And they're not too expensive.
No, no.
$60 a month.
And we were there and we went around the corner and he was trying to call an Uber.
He said, Dad, let me get your Uber back to Eagleman.
And I said, oh, yeah, sure, I'll try anything once.
And he's calling the Uber and it's taking bloody forever.
And I just go, oh, no.
I'll put my finger up.
Taxi's right.
It's right, it's coming.
I'll put the taxi, you know what,
you can cancel that Uber because I'm using a bloody taxi.
Keep your fancy phones.
Keep your fancy wifi, whatever.
Me, I'm the same.
I go around on the street, Melbourne.
Yep.
I'll just do that.
What do you do there? Yep, pull my hand down. I'll pull my finger up. out on the streets of Melbourne. Yep. I'll just do that. What do you do there?
Yep, pull my hand up.
I'll just do it.
I'll pull my finger up.
I'll pull my finger up.
Yep.
Daxie holds it right out of your taxi.
Lovely man.
Takes me wherever I want to go.
Doesn't even matter if it's a short trip.
Every time I love taxis.
And that's, and this time of the era of things,
we come harder to do and more shopping.
Hands to buy
You got your hand yet
No, we haven't got a hand but we always go to the good people
Yes, but tuck your hands or you get your
Tuck you have now a valuable cold and bubbles I mind frozen from last year
There was so much left over. Oh, that's part of the gravity. I think it'd be a shame to get rid of it. Sit down on Christmas boxing
Dane have a ham sandwich. Well, you know what? It's sort of a frozen ham. What
did we set you up with a betucky ham? A fresh one. You're way marked. You're
getting a betucky ham coming your way. Wow, that's a very good bet. You're a
betucky ham. And remember, uh, ask the Woolworth staff about the exclusive
500 gram betucky ham available only at Woolworths.
Now, Carol's by candlelight coming on the Christmas Eve.
That wonderful David Campbell.
And I still haven't decided what song I'm going to sing this year.
They said to me the producers got in touch on an email and my assistant read it out to me and said,
you know, you've got to pick a song by the end of the week. I've got two more days.
Yes.
And I cannot, and I was wondering,
if maybe you, you, FALLAS could help me choose a song for me.
Oh, I thought it sounds like a,
it sounds like a lot of fun.
It was a special time, Christmas,
at the end of the year,
when the family and the shops and things are busy.
It's, it's important to remember,
and I think seeing these songs of praise
send a message that it is not.
We can get confused on our mobile phones, running between outlets, stores, running between a home
mart and a body and soul, or you're getting the Donald's meal, going to lush.
And you forget that it's actually about songs of praise in our Lord Christ. Yes. I remember I was out for a glass of wine about a decade ago with Cardinal Powell.
And what did you have?
I got the steak.
Where did you have last?
It was at the restaurant down at Crown.
I think it's there anymore.
Oh, right.
And we were just talking about songs of praise, but I'll move on.
The punchline's been here.
And was the... And we were just talking about songs of praise, but I'll move on the punchline's been hit. And, you know, I'm excited to see,
and maybe it's that Christy Wheel and Brown.
Oh, I see a star.
She is an absolute star.
And she's singing some of those songs of praise
in that Rob Mills.
And I sure, I sure hope.
The kids love that Rob Mills.
They love Rob Mills, and I hope that Anthony Collier will be making beautiful
I will love why he doesn't sing the prayer at every given television opportunity
Yes, I don't I saw him I love the bridge
What platinum four times in this guy?
He's a Australian idol he got up and he sang the prayer
I saw I saw him do that at a channel 10 event back in So you're Australian Idol, he got up and he sang the poem.
I saw him do that at a channel 10 event back in 2000.
Well, whenever.
Me too.
When he was still doing the show, the showtimes were not limited to.
And I said to him, I have seen that song performed by someone better than you only once.
And Dre Aburtelli.
And that's what I said.
And he had a bit of a worried look on his face.
He thought, oh, you're about to insult me.
And I said, only Andre Aburtelli.
And he said, well, that's, you're not going to try to compete with him.
He's a humble man.
I would get her.
I would, with me, make a point of Evanthini's touring.
We go see, we go and see Andre Ryu,
and he's, cause they take me back to when I was a lad
on the farm in 1845, working on the fields
and the classic fairy tale songs.
I tried, I tried to get out there to see those cons of my wife,
but it took a clock in the afternoon, it's too late
for me to use it.
I found a car park near the Rod Label.
Oh good luck, good luck finding out. I just saw car park near the Rod Label. Oh good luck.
Good luck finding out.
I just tell my driver, now just go around,
go around in circles.
Yeah, I just say, you know, don't even bother trying
to find a park, you can just drive, maybe you can drive around,
meet me here at the other concert.
Tell you one, one, one to people, it's not feeling like Christmas.
Oh, landlords.
Now, where everyone beating on landlords,
saying they've done the wrong thing.
Landlords.
That's big of a tough question for landlords.
It feels like, it feels like the bloody government,
these young, has taken a Hoover vacuum cleaner,
straight into the bank account,
and they are just sucking them dry.
Sucking us dry.
At this Christmas time as well, when we should be around family and friends.
It should be about fun and togetherness and you know, every year the rent must go up.
What is that make me, O criminal?
That extra thing.
The boomers again, they reckon.
Oh, it's awesome.
Oh, it's awesome.
He's, what's the boomers?
That's what they call.
Not the 12 bouncing boomers from the song.
No.
No, what is the purchase?
Anyone over 50?
Oh, that's rude.
So they're calling us boomers out.
Yeah, I believe this way, it'll be shut up.
Well, I worked hard when I was in my working years.
I worked very hard.
My first house I got for 7,000 and I remember I saved up.
I saved up all of that $1,400 deposit and I went into the bank and they said, you know,
you need 20% of the 7,000.
I said, I've got it in my bank account.
And people say, well, inflation means that you bought it for nothing.
No, I had to work five years to pay that house off.
Yes, absolutely.
And then I had to, and I remember when I went into the bank
to buy my second house and I used the first house,
which is at that point now worth 40,000.
I had to go all the way to the bank, I had to find a park.
Yeah. And I worked very hard finding that park, go again,
and then using the Penn's workplace.
And the Penns didn't work, I had to bring my own pen.
And that's, you know, I worked very hard that day
to get the second house.
When I got the third, fourth, fifth and sixth,
you know, I got them at the same time.
That was a block of you, that's it.
But you deserved them.
You didn't work hard.
Well, I worked hard, you'd worked hard.
And then when I got the two floors of the Harold Sun
built again in the city off the cost of the units
and the three houses.
And well, my assistant did that.
You know, I've got a person now that,
but it was hard hiring.
Yeah, yeah.
You went through, well, God, how many of you we?
Yeah, well, I didn't do the interview.
No, but worked for it.
That poor folly on now of 476 properties around Australia
and a few in Hong Kong.
We worked hard for that.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I worked very hard for that.
I tell you some, you know, sometimes I just,
I think about selling the lot of it, moving up north.
Yeah, I'm really doing it.
And, you know, I'd be what?
You know, I'd get maybe 40, 50 million if I sold all my property to you.
But is it worth it?
No.
Do you know who else works hard this time if you were Santa Claus?
Oh, yes.
I'm the kids excited to see him ruby-chicken, waiting at the tree for the men and it's a lot
of fun to spend. That's what it's about
this time. You're spending time with your grand kids. Yes, he is. My am elders are said to me,
don't bother with presents. And I said, well, you know, I'm fine with that. I think that's a good idea.
I'm having a song for nothing. Try convincing my third wife that that's worth doing.
Try convincing my third wife that that's worth doing. You know what I said, you talked to her.
She said, she's a supporter of the economy.
That's what she said.
She came in the next day.
She said, oh, I've just got a little bit of this
and a little bit of that.
She's spent hundreds of dollars on these children.
And they don't learn the meaning of a hard day.
Not that really don't you, though.
But we need to take pause for a moment
in these special times and value our grandkids
and that time with our grandkids.
Because that's why we work so hard talking on them
into a microphone for 80s.
I have to make sure that they're listening to my advice
and not that Mr. Beast that they seem.
First Mr. Beast.
What's Mr. Beast? That Mr. Beast that they send. Mr. Beast. Mr. Beast.
Mr. Beast.
That Mr. Beast, they're always talking about that.
That Mr. Beast.
Mr. Beast.
Oh, he's a man.
He'll, you know, go around and, you know, live in a house that costs $1 and then move
to a house that costs.
Yes, but what's he doing?
How does he doing this?
Well, he goes to a, on goes to on YouTube, I believe.
So they watch it on the YouTube?
They watch it on the YouTube.
But what did he make it for originally?
No, no, he made it, I believe, for YouTube.
So Mr. Beast is a fellow, and he does sort of the talks
to the cameras and whatnot on the YouTube.
He has his friends, his compatriots with him,
he carries them around, and you'll say go to work. Surely, it his friends, his compatriots with him, he carries them around and you'll
say go to a... Surely, it's not really a feast.
Sort of in like a... Well, I don't... Is it like sale of the century?
In what way? Well, there's three contestants, you know, and they'll mail in and say,
I'm a master of acquieses in my... In my circle. Now that was a good show.
That was a great show. Tony, Bar MacLe bar, but then reach LaFanEd Phillips.
They're just these great hosts
through the agent, Lovynia Nixon,
who we are, the ABCs and bring back Peter sale of the century.
Yes, and we'll fortune.
We'll fortune.
Which is coming back.
I would love to see Burjo back on there.
Well, you know, the block that you'll block
at Lovynia's in the Phillipisle Parliament, actually.
I didn't see that. Yeah.
They are. They've put Channel 9, the nine media group of bought a bunch of land at
on Philip Ireland. Down Philip Ireland. Next door, just a block from where I am. Very nice.
Yeah. Including cows. I've not been to Philip Ireland, is it nice?
Oh, it's been, we have 14 houses. Yeah, I own, I think, 2.7% of the landmass of
the Philippa, but I've never been.
No, no, no.
Well, let me ask you, there's a move in some sections of the
Yarositi Council to move speed limits, not down to 40,
but down to 30 kilometers in a row.
Oh, my God.
My dad was asked of the...
A snail's pace.
Absolutely.
How am I going to get to where I'm going?
Well, it's because these pedestrians are looking
why, because they're on their bloody phone.
Yeah, it's like that.
I was sitting in the back of the car on the way here, actually.
And I sort of jolted and I looked up and I asked him,
what's his name?
I said, the fellow that drives.
And I said to him, what's the, you know, what's
happened?
And he said there was a pedestrian on his phone. And I said, well, what's the, you know, what's happening? He said there was a pedestrian on his phone
and I said, well, we could have run over him,
it would have been a very stressful situation.
But I'm still behind the wheel
and I've only had three major incidences
where my license has been challenged.
But if we can't, if it's a nanny state
where you can't drive a car at a reasonable speed,
this road they're talking about now like a chapel street or a...
Yeah, right. Just a nanny.
I used to drive 180 down there and half it worked.
What other nanny states that they're doing all the stuff with the driving and they're just
this, it's such a nanny state.
By the way, nanny states.
On another topic, you hear they want to make marijuana legal.
Oh, they want to just say,
yeah, I have as much marijuana as you want.
What happened to law and order?
Well, when I was a kid,
a lot of another note, this nanny state
out, rages.
You can't do anything.
You can't do anything.
You do.
If they, if dictated down had it is way,
and I know he's gone.
I mean, he's gone.
He's got a lot of blood.
He's just worked.
It's all, he's gone into the private sector where it's probably worse.
I was left for one with him two weeks ago and I just said, you, Dictator.
Well, what'd you get?
What'd you get?
I was down the crown that, you know, the dumpling place, the Chinese dumpling place.
Oh, yes.
That's nice.
Fellow from Sydney that used to own the Stakeress.
Yeah, the Chinese one. Yeah.
What'd you get?
I just got the, I, they just brought out a selection of dumplings and I just said to Dan,
I said, look, Dan, you're a nice guy. Yeah.
But you're a bloody, it's bloody outrageous what you're doing.
It's taken a knife to this city. Yeah.
And we had a bit of a laugh about it, but I'm not a fan of Dan.
When he had his fall, I didn't shed a tear, I'll just say that.
I called him up. I called up the wife and, the wife, and we talked about it, but I'm not a fan of
dictator Dan.
So the idea that you're quite close with him has quite odd, not a very connected man.
So do you know the other co-host of this show, regularly, on here, Jeff Kennett, obviously,
on Jeff Remensworth.
Oh, Jeff Remensworth.
Love Jeff.
But at this time of year, when you do see your friends,
and it's that time of year to take note,
put the chuck a bit of that music back on Lindsay,
and if that's the time of year to take note,
and remember some of the special times of year
when the time is special.
It's now absolutely,
and we're more special.
I'll smash down Lindsay again.
Turn that down, you're turning off. Turn that, turn it off, turn it off, turn it off,
turn it off, turn it off, turn it off.
When I told my grandkids,
we had Linsie producing our show,
they said, what, Loan?
I don't know.
And I said, I don't know.
I said, I'm not sure.
They showed me the parrots of the trapeze.
They showed me.
I think they know each.
Loan, Linsie, what's a Linsie Loan?
Linsie Loan. Oh lowen. I'm familiar with
it. It's just from Mean Girls. Yeah. It's the Mean Girls girl. The Mean Girls girl.
So, the new one, the musical. Yeah. So, can we pop that music back on? Can we put that
music? These kids today, they just pump them out of uni out of the trobe and Monash and
they put them straight into here at 3 AW. They're doing the arts degrees, man. Yeah, the arts degrees.
I can't hear a word of what you'll say.
You'll turn that to the right.
I'm using off music down, I'm letting it out, now turn it off.
I can't hear myself, think.
And now we get that music back on,
and I just wanted to say, you were talking about friends.
And what better way to catch up with friends
than over a Batucchi ham?
Batucchi ham has been a family business and it's not a love of a talky ham. And if you'd like your opportunity to get a Batokie ham. Batokie ham has been a family business since I've had a lot of Batokie ham.
And if you'd like your opportunity to get a Batokie ham,
there are four cars all around Melbourne filled to the brim of Batokie ham.
We have left...
Field with meat.
We have left them under a lot.
In three different parts of Melbourne.
I'll give it away.
I'll give it away.
The four quadrants of Melbourne. I'll give it away. I'll give it away. The four quadrants of Melbourne,
Port Melbourne, Terec, Brighton, and another part of Port Melbourne.
All those beautiful set. Now, Lindsey turned that crap off. I can't hear myself.
Talking about, and it's important to get these things. Christmas has never been harder
with the cost of living. Yes, the cost of living is very high in Ireland. So we've actually got
in a guest, a very special guest today. He's come all the way from IGA, he's come down
from the markets in, in down in, he's come down from the markets down on the beach or wherever
they are. He's been up since four in the morning. Good morning, Tony. Get a boy's hair, you
do it. Yeah. You've been up since four in the morning. Good morning, Tony. G'day boys, how you doing?
Yes, good to see you, Tony.
No, you've been up since what time this morning?
I got up at 4 a.m. this morning.
Yeah.
Just to get to the supermarket, nice and early.
Yeah.
Check out those specials.
I wake up at 4 a.m.
soaked in sweat with vivid images of the Vietnam war.
I'm not up at 4 a. 4am to go down to the market.
That's for sure.
Well, that's for if you ask your children,
probably they wouldn't get out of bed
before 11, 30 in the morning.
Well, that's when they get up now working from home.
Yeah, and get me that carry.

Cherries. Veggies. Now, when should we be buying these things? To get a fresh,
a fresh fruit for Christmas day?
Well, you don't, yeah, you don't want to hold onto it for too long.
No.
So you don't want to overbuy.
You don't want to buy it at the week before?
No, no, no, no, you want to keep it in your ice box
for as little time as possible.
And I'll tell you what,
we have an outside freezer and fridge in our garage.
Keep sort of icy poles for the grand.

So, and a box of, now everyone's favorite Christmas drink.
What's your favorite Christmas drink?
Oh, it's got to be a box of,
may I'm just happy with a cup of tea?
Ha, ha, ha.
You know what?
I don't mind.
Obviously, I'll have a beer, a glass of wine,
but I don't mind a Coca-Cola.
Well, it's funny that you mention that. It's funny that you mention that.
Because right now if you go down to your local IGA, get yourself a glass, get some ice from the fridge.
You know, the fridge door now. Oh, yeah, it has the ice in it. Well, I'm gonna

Coca-Cola cans one by one, like we used to in the old days. They're charging you up to $2.50 a can.

How much would you pay at a competitor supermarket
for a box of Savois?
Well, I wasn't a competitor supermarket just last week.
And I saw a box of Savois for $3.35.
Yeah, right.
What's all the idea doing in Fortoni?
I'm a little higher.
Just go a little higher, please.
Because you keep saying price is very close
to what the specials are.
And if you just end up.
It does add up.
It does add up.
What is the salada?
$3.30.
And what did you say?
$3.35.
Well, it all adds up in here.
It does add up.
You know, when you get to the $1 from the coax,
it's a dollar from the...
But it doesn't add up if the IGA is a little further away.
It's what I'm saying.
Yeah, that's true.
But I'm not going to lie to my listeners.
I'm not going to lie to my listeners.
I'm not going to be dishonest.
You know, I was out for wine with the CEO of both the CEO of Woolworths and the CEO of

place was run by the, and I was sitting there and they were discussing what they would
charge for various items. Oh, they were sort of agreeing on numbers with it.
Yeah, yeah. They agreed on the price of things. It's insider. Yeah, it's sort of agreeing on numbers with it. Yeah, agree on the price of things. It's insider.
Yeah, it's sort of like two groups sort of setting the price.
Yeah, it's an ice-air to them.
And I said, oh, you know, I've got the deal with IGA.
And I couldn't lie, but I'm not gonna lie.
You know, those are good friends.
Am I a good people?
And Santa's coming down the chimney.

Half price.

I've got a person, a person that takes the bag
and takes the bag away.
No, John, when I was in national service in 1951,
I cleaned my undies and socks.
Yes, no, they made you do that. They did. They did.
They did. They worked your bottom off. When I was in the Navy, I had to clean my own undies and socks.

I've seen him kick through a wall.
Have you seen the hydraulics he has?
Have you seen Ghost in the Shed?
The anime or the live action adaptation?
Not the live action one, although I do love Scarlett Johansson.
She's a wonderful actress.
No, the animation from the Japan animation.
Oh yes, the, yes, yeah, yeah.
So that Japan animation from. Oh yes, the, yes, yeah, yeah. So that Japanimation from the 90s,
it's about a lady who's replaced,
it was about a lot of things.
So partly it's about a lady that replaced so many parts
of her body she wonders if she's any longer human.
And the only thing that she holds on to
is the fact that she might have a soul.
You know, it's a surprise, I'm surprised that you've seen it.
I'm surprised that you are...
Oh my elders.
No.
Fan of Japanimation.
Who used to make me watch a Japanimation?
I've shown him old episodes of Star Trek with a kept little cook.
They'd show me, show me used Japanimations.
And I used to think...
The last year, Ben, was stunning.
Is stunning.
We watched it sometimes.
Live action adaptation or the Nickelodeon...
The manga.
The manga. We have all the manga prints.
Yeah, they did a manga run after the cartoons,
and so on.
So, but there's a sort of a question she has.
She says, I've replaced every part of my body.
She has a beautiful monologue on her boat.
She says, I've replaced every part of my body with a robot.
And the only thing that I know about,
the only thing that breaks me human is the fact that I have a soul. And the only thing that I know about, the only thing that
makes me human is the fact that I have a soul. And I think to myself, I think, you
know, I've now got, I've replaced both of my hips, half of my spine, rot in your
back, both of my knees, elbows, one of my wrists with a robot. And I think, what have I
got left of them? I remember I've still got myself?
And it closes out today from another wonderful night line, Melvin. And I'm going to read another poem and love that musical in Z, The Christmas Rose.
