Hi, this is Katnett Unfiltered. If you know us, then you know that we do almost everything together, so accommodating seven kids and seven adults on vacation can be challenging. So, we Airbnb it. And if you have a spare room in your house, you can Airbnb it. It's that simple. You can even Airbnb your whole house while you are away. You could be sitting on an Airbnb and not even know it.

Whether you could use extra money to cover some bills or for something a little more fun, your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much at airbnb.ca slash host. Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well. We're social distancing podcasting. That's how we do it, Claire. We don't want no dangers, no troubles here. I don't like it. We're not in the pod studio. We're out in the main room. That's right.

It's so Mason and I can record from like a great distance from each other so we're not touching each other's faces like we normally do. Mason, of course, from my more popular podcast, the Weekly Planet popular podcast. Here he goes. That's right, everybody. It's back. Me talking about my other podcast.

Right. Okay. Let's stop with the ramble. This is Suggestible Podcast. We are married. My name is Claire. That guy is sitting right away from me over there, even though we're married and we sleep in the same bed and everything.

And everything. And everything. Don't give away too much of our private life. He's called James, otherwise known as Mr. Sunday Pooveys. Wait a minute. No movies. Jokes. You're lucky you're so far away, Claire.

Yeah, so this is what's going to happen tonight. I'm really going to stick it to you. Yes, yes, yes. Because you're far away, you can't get me. It's true. It's very true. Yeah. Am I going first or are you going first?

You're going first. Right. I've got a very quick recommendation up top. Wait before you say anything. I don't like your face. I don't like what you're about. And I'm sick of you because all we're doing is social isolating and I have to stare at you all the time.

You don't have to stare at nothing. I'm next to a couch. Yeah, I know. I am staring at nothing. You. Sorry. I'm very pregnant. First the poo joke and now this.

I know. It's a real low common denominator kind of show tonight. Well, that's fitting with everything we do every week. Okay. What's your quick recommendation? Sneak it in. Today, and this is going to go up on the weekend. Slippy one.

Probably Sunday. Sorry. I interviewed Michael Shanks, who people might know behind The Wizards of Oz. He's got a really great stop motion blend live action short film called Rebooted. That's just come out and it's amazing. He also did the Star Wars George Lucas edition special edition trailer for The Force Awakens, which people probably remember from a few years back because it was a massive deal. Anyway, we talk about –

He also did that – oh, hang on. I don't want to spoil it. What's what? I was going to say the tennis thing. Is that what you're recommending? No, that's why. No. All I'm saying is you should check out his channel, Tim Tim Fed,

and also on Sunday I've got a video version of the interview going up with all the clips of the behind-the-scenes stuff and his process of filmmaking because it's fascinating really the way he got started and the projects that he's worked on. And this is like some high-quality stuff that he's done on a really low budget but also made waves in the film industry in a really big way. You're going to be seeing this guy a lot. And I've also got an extended audio edition,

which I'm going to put on the Weekly Planet feed as well. But anyway, so check that out if you want and check him out. But that's going to be – Who's that? Michael Shanks. Michael Shanks. That's all Tim Tim fed. So what I've been watching now, and I'm only three episodes in, and apparently it's very good.

It wraps up very well. It's called Devs. It's from FX and creator Alex Garland. It stars Sonoya Mizuno as Lily and Nick Offerman, who's that name I can obviously say much better, as Forrest. Nick Offerman from Parks and Rec. He's Ron Swanson. Yes.

So she's like a programmer. He's like a Steve Jobs type. And it's from the curator of – it's like a drama thriller set in the future-ish. Oh, that's that thing that I watched for a bit and then it was awful and then I had to go to bed and have a weird dream. This guy wrote 28 Days Later, everybody's favourite film, Sunshine, Ex Machina about the robot. Remember the one about the robot?

Yeah. Annihilation. Did you see Annihilation? Yes. That was great too. I actually did really like Annihilation. So it's this eight episodes of this new show. It's a one-off thing called Devs.

And the story is, and I don't want to get into it too much because of spoilers. It's very metaphysical. It's very metaphysical. A university. Yeah, it is. It's very like makes you feel terrible about everything. And the music is very upsetting. Which is everything that you love.

I know. Actually, okay, just a side note before you summarize the plot of this depressing thing that you loved. Yeah. It was so hilarious because you turned it on and immediately the music, I was like, oh, no. You're not going to like this. And five minutes in you were like, oh, this is an excellent show.

At the same time that I was internally screaming and going, now my whole world is like turned upside down and I hate this and I feel sad and I had to go to bed with all these visions in my head. Exactly. It's an excellent show. You're right. Yeah, but you love it. So if you'd like anything up James's alley, which is dark and depressing and twisted and

black hearted. It's not that dark and depressing. It's, so Lily, who's the lead of the show, the lead character. Let the listeners be the judge of how depressing this is. Sure. You can do that. That's absolutely fine. Her boyfriend works for this company as well and he gets moved into a new department called

Devs. They're developing something. I'm not going to get into what that is specifically but as a result of that something happens to him and it's kind of lily investigating what's going on behind him and what uh they're up to in devs and really like i said it's a drama thriller about algorithms and uh and like predictions of the future and the past and kind of the tech world and in relation to society, but not only society because everything's about society, isn't it, in a way? It's a lot about physics though, right?

Physics and maths. Yeah, there's a lot of physics and things like that, yeah. But you don't need to know anything about physics and maths, obviously, because I fall into that camp to understand it. But it's also about how, you know, these things are worked into like the government and how the government often wants to step into big tech companies. But also, should they be stepping into big tech companies? Because what are they using that information for in the first place?

You know what I mean? Look at things, what's happened to Facebook and other platforms where they've literally shaped the face of the planet, how information is presented to people. So look, like I said, I am only three in three of the six, all right? Maybe it is eight. I can't remember. I think it's six.

But anyway, it's great and I can't wait to finish it, but I've got a bunch of editing that I've got to do and I also have to watch a bunch of stuff for Caravan of Garbage, including Fantastic Four 2015. But, look, that's what's happening, Claire, in my world. Right. What's happening in your world? Well, stop directing the play.

This is my show. I'll direct it how I want. Wait a minute. This is your show? Wait a minute. One thing I wanted to say, it was really interesting. Suddenly I watched like 20 minutes of it and then I sort of fell asleep and then I woke up and went to bed because I'm prego.

P.S. I have a bowling ball sitting very close to my pelvis slash nether regions and it's very uncomfortable. It's like someone punching you repeatedly in the groin. Claire, if you wanted to start a separate podcast about how you just complain about this beautiful event, that's absolutely fine. But for me, Claire, I respect nature and the privilege of parenthood. And you come in here with your negativity about parenthood

and quite frankly I'm not having it. Parenthood, smerenthood. I'll punch you in the groin and you see how you like it. Not from there, you won't. Internally. You got a bloody gallbladder removed and I had to hear about it for forever. No. In fact, during the operation afterwards you looked at me and you were like,

oh, because the gallbladder, how big is it? It's what, about the size of like a peach maybe? No, honestly, that didn't show me. Like a small pear? Sure. You looked at me and you were like, you had a baby removed. How did you do this? I was fine.

I was up on my feet in no time. It was like minus surgery. I had a cane and I was hobbling around. Yeah, you did. You bought himself a cane. I was like, I am not lying down for a week. He legitimately bought himself a cane and I was hobbling around. Yeah, you did. You bought himself a cane. I was like, I am not lying down for a week. He legitimately bought himself a cane. They told me to do.

This is a man who owns a cane and a baseball bat. They were like, take these OxyCottons. Yeah, I do. I was like, I don't take OxyCottons. And I took one and I'm like, these are actually a real head fuck. I'm actually not going to take these. Anyway, let's not talk about how brave I am. No.

What were you saying? Anyway, all I'm saying is it's very hard to concentrate with someone punching you in the groin on a regular basis. I keep getting woken up every five minutes with reflux and then a punch to the groin. I mean, look, I'm sure I'm going to love the baby very much and I'm very lucky and I know it's a privilege and a joy. But also, this end of the pregnancy sucks.

Agreed. That's all I wanted to say. Good afternoon, good evening and good night. I appreciate the wonders of it. But anyway. All right. All I wanted to say was it's kind of interesting seeing the actor who plays Ron Swanson from Parks and Rec in that scary show

you were talking about playing quite a serious character. Yes. Yeah, and he does really well. He's a great actor. He's a great actor. He's not just in Parks and Rec. He's in many things.

He's in the movie Sin City. He has to be one of my favorite characters. He's terrific. That's a great show. It's a great mustache too. It is. All the way to the end that show is consistent. Do you know the only other mustache that rivals his mustache is moustache is Tom Selleck's moustache?

Tom Selleck, yes. Everybody knows that, Claire. That's all I wanted to say. I'm going to raise you another moustache. You ready? Here he goes, yeah. Moustache-o-man. I don't actually have one.

I was trying to think of one. I couldn't. I was going to name some people that we know and then I'm like, that doesn't play well for a larger audience. No, it really doesn't. Well, this was a great and enlightening episode. I once grew a horseshoe. Are you supposed to be quite witty and funny because that was the real drop

of the ball? Mason's the witty, funny one. I keep the ship running here. The ship running or the ship running? All of it. I would say the ship because it's a bad show. Anyway, do you have a recommendation or do you just want to complain? Yes, I know.

Okay. Oh, God, I'm just so uncomfortable. Okay, so my first recommendation is a six-part mystery thriller series. Ooh, it was the most requested new show. I love how you do your own hype. Ooh, interesting. Ooh, sounds good. Hey, someone's got to be interested in what I'm saying.

Ooh. I think if you're at home and you're interested, you should help. You should help out and be like, ooh, just do it at home. Yeah, please. Hey, that sounds great. You're ruining my intro. like, ooh, just do it out loud. Hey, that sounds great. You're ruining my intro. No, no, sorry. Anyway, so it was the most requested new show in 2019 on the BBC iPlayer

with over 20 million requests for the series one. So there you go. It's a popular BBC series. As most of you know, I bloody love a murder mystery thriller series from the BBC. Did you branch out more, Claire? This one is great, though. It's really interesting.

It follows Sean Emery, a British soldier convicted of committing murder in Afghanistan whose conviction is overturned due to problems with the video evidence that was crucial at his trial. Once freed, Sean returns to his old life, but a nice out with friends takes a turn for the worse and he still soon finds himself embroiled in a incriminating video footage kind of fuel her and she he gets arrested freshly promoted detective who's like quite sexy and cute oh sexy and cute but she's like sexy and kind of like smart and you know a young kid on the block rachel carrie is keen to get to the bottom of

sean's mysterious past but soon finds that the truth can be simply a matter of perspective as she begins to uncover a complex conspiracy. Anyway. Didn't it not end that well? No, I really enjoyed it. I mean, it's a slight anticlimax but still satisfying. It's really interesting.

I won't spoil it but it does deal with a lot of themes around CCTV and video footage. Surveillance. And how surveillance, yes. This state that we're currently living in. Well, correct. And I didn't realise London particularly, the amount of cameras. There are cameras everywhere in London. Oh, my God.

And it really looks at that. So it's that kind of whole idea of the state is always watching and just that whole like the moral ambiguity of, you know, counterterrorism and what the lengths of the government have to go to in order to, you know, keep everybody safe compared to civil liberties and freedom of speech and freedom of movement and how that intersects with technology. I think it's all, it's very, very interesting.

And actually living in the times that we're living in this extraordinary time of COVID-19 and the virus and stuff and you know the moral and ethical questions around that anyway so it delves into a lot of that kind of stuff that's really interesting and I really enjoyed it it's also just like a rollicking good thriller gets you really absorbed takes your mind off things it's very British a lot of people going mom uh what do you think of this evidence and she's like it's pretty good evidence yeah But can it be trusted? Who knows?

Holiday Granger plays Rachel Carey, the DI, and she is brilliant. I would highly recommend her performance. She's great. So I haven't actually seen her in anything else, but she was great. We can wait for clean water solutions. Or we can engineer access to clean water. We can acknowledge Indigenous cultures. Or we can engineer access to clean water. We can acknowledge Indigenous cultures. Or we can learn from Indigenous voices.

We can demand more from the earth. Or we can demand more from ourselves. At York University, we work together to create positive change for a better tomorrow. Join us at yorku.ca slash write the future. Okay, that's mine. What's your second one? I put my phone away in my pocket. I'm going to take it back out again because my computer battery is dying.

But don't worry, I'm all over already. Don't even stress. I can pad for time. This is a fun thing that I'm going to recommend today. Did I make sense? Yeah, that made sense. Okay, good. It's perfect.

It's about the state. What is social media or whatever my brain is looking at people my brain at the moment feels like a bowl of screen i don't know how you're gonna get well after you've had the kid hey what excuses are you gonna make claire this time you know what i mean it's always an excuse deprivation oh my god you can write off that for a few years almost certainly yeah well you've been writing it off for your whole bloody life mate nothing wrong with that mate that's live. Continue. What's your little recommendation? It's a YouTube channel called Up Is Not Jump.

And I actually think you would really like this one. It's a dude. I think he's English. Maybe he isn't, but I think he is. He does do video game reviews like he does an in-depth review of the history of Mario called Mario Maker 2 is an Absolute Nightmare. Oh, that sounds right up my alley. Yeah, but let me finish.

It was awkward sarcasm. I'm bad at sarcasm. That's not what I want to talk about because he also does this thing where he. Annoyed his wife constantly. But yeah, she's in it. Yes. She often does a lot of the filming, but he also does things like he does a cooking show. And this video in particular is called, there's a few of them, but cooking with Gordon Ramsey

is an absolute nightmare. And what he does, he plays a video of Gordon Ramsey making a beef Wellington and tries to make it along with him as he does it. And he's just befuddled by the whole thing. He's like, this isn't, it's just, it's very funny and really clever edits and, and fun jokes are just exasperated, trying to keep up with the way that Gordon Ramsay's doing things and how that his doesn't match up with what Gordon Ramsay is doing. It's very, very funny. And he also does one recently with that's called a carpentry is very funny. And he also does one recently that's called Carpentry is a Nightmare, and he follows along with a builder who builds a shelf from scratch,

just a freestanding set of shelves. Yeah, which I'm always blown away by because I cannot build things. And the way it starts is because the guy will suddenly be like, so what do you want to do? You want to take you? And he'll just name some very specific woodworking tool and pull it out he's like i don't have that what do you like he just jumps he just jumps straight into these really specific woodworking tools and again he's really exasperated and just the whole thing

coming together at the end is is really quite funny so it's called up is not jump it's a youtube channel it's it's very it's very good. I like that name too. It's like uplifting and if you're like, the state of the world, the state of the world, you don't have to worry about that for the 15 minutes of these videos. And that's what we all want. That's what we want. It's all I want.

Things that are dumb. Yeah, I agree. Take our mind off stuff. That sounds awesome. It is really awesome. That sounds much better than the terrible cooking videos I've been putting up on Instagram. Oh, here we go. Subtle plug.

Appreciate it, Claire. Well done. Oh, here we go. Subtle plug. Appreciate it, Claire. Well done. Oh, they're really bad. You want to talk about it? You want to talk about it? Yeah, all right. So my Instagram account is at Claire Tonti. I don't really know what I'm doing with social media.

I'm not good at it. Can't film myself properly. And I'm terribly pregnant, so I look terribly horrible in the videos. But that is not the point because I am a free, untamed woman and I do not care for society's beauty expectations. She says as she's tethered to the kitchen. No, I choose to be there. It's my happy place.

I like it there. It's nice and there's nothing to worry about in there. Anyway, other than cutting myself, which I nearly did in this week's video. Oh, my God, you cut yourself every goddamn day. I know. Thank you for filming. No problem. This week I tried to make a bee sting cake.

Oh, mate. You have to go and watch the video, but probably don't. It's not that exciting. However, what a bloody disaster. And you ate a lot of it, and I'm worried you're going to get a sore tongue. Yes, that's entirely possible. But look, I think it's important you're out there. You're trying new things.

That's really cool. I'm giving it a bell, Cheryl. I'm giving it a bell, Cheryl. One day I'll learn how to edit and make better videos right now this is the only content i know i didn't really learn to edit and i'm fine i'm done all right so then with don't stress oh yeah well you know it's all self-taught isn't it i'm a very intelligent man you can tell by the way i do this ah the classic james so i end up married to you.

Sorry, pregnancy reflux. Yeah, it was in our vows. It was. I said, please do the hmm. I liked it. My actual recommendation, not my terrible videos on Instagram. Don't tell your videos short. I think they're great.

Yeah, that's because you filmed them. Our friends were like, I was really invested in the time you cleaned that blue pot. Yeah, well, your mates, you had, which is something that's really nice. You had a video call with all your mates on Friday night. Had a few cheeky whiskeys. Just a couple, mate. Don't even worry about it. Just talking to all your mate-os.

Yeah. Yeah, and one of your mates who I wouldn't have expected was really invested in me cleaning my blue pot. That is a really satisfying video though because I learned how to use Bicarb and it just cleaned the black stuff off my blue pot that I love. Hilarious. Oh, God. People are real desperate for content.

I really appreciate him watching it. Yeah, exactly. Okay. Good on you, mate. Good on you, mate. Who knew that one day I would be super preggo cleaning a blue pot for the internet? Me. Okay.

So I have some more recommendations. This is Claire's segment called, What the Fuck to Do With Your Kids When They're Home and They're Annoying You All the Time. Done. That's good. You don't need to edit that. That was perfect.

This is for little kids. So I would say kids probably under seven. Under seven but over ten. Got it. Yes, over ten. Maybe under seven, over two. Good. Under two, mate, all bets are off. Yes, over 10. Maybe under seven, over two. Good. Under two, mate, all bets are off.

Put them in a playpen and hope for the best. Under two, you know what they're doing. Doing a per, mate. I was going to say that. Anyway, this sounds really simple and obvious, but it's a really great tip. Something I did during teaching, but I was reminded of it by a website called Five Minute Mum. And it's just really an awesome site full of lots of cool ideas.

But this particular idea, standout, I did it and it worked a treat. Put away all the kids' toys. Like put them all away. Put them in the bin. Put them all away. No, as much as you can or put them in baskets, like tidy them up so the space is clear. Get them to do that the day before.

Really put stuff away. I can't stress that more because if you have a whole lot of stuff out, the more stuff that's out, the less they'll play with it, which sounds counterintuitive but it's often really true because kids get overwhelmed and then they just say they're bored. Then you make a couple of things really special. So you set up like a rug or I had a picnic rug that I put down or a mat, something, you're laughing at me, but you just put something out

that makes it special and even better if they're watching telly or something at this point so they're not really invested in what you're doing. And then you just put out a few of the special things. It might be like a couple of little animal toys, maybe a little bucket of water or a cute little bit of, or like a little tree that you got or a ball like a couple of little animal toys, maybe a little bucket of water or a cute little bit of felt or like a little tree that you got or a ball, couple of books. Yep. This week I got an egg carton and I just cut the lid off it. And then I stuck a couple of Duplo Lego characters

in it. Yeah. And that was it. And like, they're not all toys that I didn't go and buy. They were just in our cupboard but I'd put everything else away. Yeah. And it was such a hit because what you want, the dream is, you want them to be independently playing and not bothering you so you can have a cup of tea. Absolutely. And also independent play is actually really, really important.

It's great for social and emotional development. No, it actually is. Why not? Amazing. I'm agreeing with you. Carol Dweck has a really great for social and emotional development. No, it actually is. Why not? Amazing. I'm agreeing with you. Carol Dweck has a really great TED Talk about that too, about the importance of play, how vital it is for our kids. And I think particularly while we're all at home at the moment,

it's a really challenging time to try and find ways for them to play and let them be free and don't feel guilty about it at all. Anyway, so when they disappear into that independent play land, you don't have to be there for it. They don't even realise they've done it. I know. And you can feel so good about yourself because you know that they're working through social and emotional stuff.

Yes. They're using their imaginations. They're building oral language. They're using like their dexterity, building on their motor skills. Genius. So that's what I would do. Sometimes some kids might need you to like play for a little bit with them, kind of just like sitting on the floor, modeling a few little things, particularly littler kids.

But then once they go into the mystery land of play, you walk away and make a cuppa. Yeah. You're just like, oh, just give me a minute. And then you just step away. Correct. Yeah. But the key is less is more. Yeah, definitely. Yeah. If you've got an infinite amount, not only have an infinite amount of toys, but if you've got a lot of toys and a lot of baskets, they just kind of, they don't really, they might, they don't really raffle through them

or they're looking for very specific things and they can't find it. Yeah, it's a little bit like when you have a really messy space, it's really hard to think clearly. Yes. Which is why this studio gives me heart palpitations, but you don't seem to care about it. But it's just stuff everywhere. Whereas like if it's clear and just a couple of special things,

I have done a whole lesson with little five-year-olds with a jug of water and a cup. Yes. And I just made it special and they bloody loved it. But it's water. They see it every day. Love it. You trick them. You They see it every day. Love it. You trick them.

You trick them. Yeah, you trick them. Also, Play School, which is on the ABC, which is our Australian Broadcasting Corporation, did a really great coronavirus special for little kids, probably like five and under, maybe six and under. It was just really clear. It was created by a child psychologist so that it's very non-threatening,

really just clear, honest language. So if you're struggling with how to talk to your kids about the virus, particularly younger kids, it's just really plain speak, lots of fun songs about washing your hands but very clear and concise because sometimes kids build up little stories in their head about what's actually going on. I also just watched it because I found it really quite comforting too. Well, it's quite straightforward because, I mean, it's a little bit better now, but

our government was like, stay indoors, but not too much indoors and stay, don't go near each other, but you can go near each other some of the time. Yeah, there's some confusing messaging out there. So anyway, I thought that was really good. And Jacinda Ardern also did a press conference. I always bang on about her. She's doing great. About how the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy are essential services. Which I think is outrageous. They are not essential services.

Oh, right. Ridiculous. You kidding me? Really cute to show your kids. A rabbit throwing dirty eggs in the garden. Dirty eggs? Going house to house. I eat those eggs.

Sweeping up germs on the way. I'm not even interested. I'm living with the Grinch. I am. He's the Scrooge of Easter. He's the Scrooge of Corona. And also on that, she said colour in some eggs and put them in the window. Yes.

So kids can go on an Easter egg hunt. We've got a teddy bear hunt going on around our neighbourhood. That's right. And I think a lot of people are doing this all over the world, which is really beautiful, putting teddy bears in their windows for kids to find when they go on their. That's right. And I think a lot of people are doing this all over the world, which is really beautiful, putting teddy bears in their windows for kids to find when they go on their government-sanctioned exercise walks. Yeah, definitely.

So there you go. That's something fun to do. Yeah, do you have anything else to recommend? I think the most important thing is that everybody remember that we'll all get through this. Some people are panicking that this is going to become the status quo for the rest of our lives. But at the very least, it's going to last until the end of the year.

Bearing in mind, it's not even May yet. So just don't panic. Anyway. All right. He's stalling. He's got nothing else. I don't. But I do have a review because you can actually review the show.

You just do it right now. I have one more recommendation. Oh, you can do that then. You can got nothing else. I don't, but I do have a review because you can actually review the show. You just do it right now. I have one more recommendation. Oh, you can do that then. You can do it. Can I do that? Can I recommend something on my own show? That's right. Okay, two things.

I've got a couple of recipes. One is a pumpkin scone recipe from my great aunt Jo that is on Instagram at Claire20. And it's really cute. Her family collated all these recipes in this recipe book. After she passed away, she was just like a really great old lady. And the pumpkin scone recipe is delicious. And I've made it a couple of times and it's, you know, idiot proof,

really easy and awesome. And the other thing I made this week was from Tanya Ramsey. It's funny you should talk about Gordon Ramsey. Tanya Ramsey, who is married to Gordon Ramsey, she did this cookbook that I found like in a bargain basket in a chemist one like years ago and it's just called Homemade and it's really, it's just a great book. There's so many good recipes from that.

I've already recommended one of them, which is my lentil soup that you love, my spicy lentil soup. I do love the lentil soup. Yeah, that's really good. And this week I made sweet potato and carrot soup, which I like to call orange soup, and it was so delicious and yum. Yeah, that's really good. And this week I made sweet potato and carrot soup, which I like to call orange soup. And it was so delicious and yum. It was really, really good.

So I might put that on my Instagrams too. Actually, I think I already have. You've been doing a lot of cooking. I feel like I've got to do more cooking. I haven't been doing that much cooking lately. No, because it's a stress relief for me. Oh, cool. One other thing I would recommend as well before you read the review, James,

I have to say. God. You've got to have a good cry, mate. No, I'm not doing it. I'm stoic. I'm one of those guys. Feel all the feelings because feelings are fulfilling. No, no, I'm one of these guys.

Oh, you're famous. I'm serious. I had a really good cry last night and I feel so much better today. That's great. Well, I didn't have a cry and I feel terrible. So I don't know what that says about me. Yeah, that's because you've got to cry. I just think this is a bit of scary times at the moment.

Nothing wrong with a good cry mate. A cry mate? Mate. A cry mate. A crying mate. Cry mate. A crying primate. Cry mates.

Matt Stewart. Hug a crying chimpanzee. Don't. They'll bite you. Really? You think they're fun, they're not. Yeah, they're mean. Yeah, actually they are.

They eat each other too. They eat each other. They eat people. They really do. They'll tear your face off. We went hunting them. Well, not hunting them. We didn't kill anyone.

We just like went walking through the jungle. We tracked them. It was really cool. That's what we're tracking. It was really cool. There was one that had one hand and the reason that one hand, because it got caught in a poaching trap. And what happened though, the poachers couldn't get anywhere near it and all the people,

so they were trying to like release this but the community, they circled around this particular chimpanzee so they wouldn't let anybody near it so they could cut it free of this trap and they were bringing it food. They were bringing this chimpanzee food because in the community it was only chimpanzees that they were looking after. They weren't eating each other. And anyway, eventually the hand kind of withered and dropped off

and the chimpanzee escaped. So this chimpanzee's just running around the forest one hen now. He's still out there. What's he up to? He's probably dead now, but what's he up to? He's probably dead because of the one hen thing. Are you done now? That's crazy, right?

That's community. What? That's community? It is because they could have left that chimpanzee or hit it in the head with a rock. Who knows? They could have done many things. All right.

You're done with your boring story. This wasn't a boring story. It was an exciting story at the time. And also they told another story of how one of the trackers that they had, they brought them into work because it's a conservation thing. It's not for shooting. But this guy used to poach chimpanzees. Okay, enough.

Listen. And they recognized him and he realized that they couldn't have him work there because they recognized his face from even years ago. Why are you talking like this? What's going on? Listen, and so he couldn't work there because they recognised him as the threat that he used to be, even though he wasn't there to poach animals anymore. He only used to do it to feed his family.

You know that I was there. I'm telling the listeners. You're not the only one who listens to this. Even Collings listens to it. Yeah, he does the poor, long-suffering boy. If you want to review the show, you can. You just do it in app. You can.

This is what Womascolina says. I want the podcast dog to have his own show, but this will do it to her, but we appreciate that. It's a five-star review just in app. It's as easy as that. It said, I enjoy hearing James lose his mind as the world falls apart around him. Yeah, you can tell he's really teetering on the brink of the moment.

All you need is a good cry and a chimpanzee story and a cigarette and you're back out there. Don't even worry about it, mate. A whiskey with your mates while they talk about your wife's posh. Okay, what's next? That's a cooking utensil, guys. I'm not smoking any Adubis anywhere. You don't sound like somebody who smokes Adubis.

Not at the moment. I'm going to get on it when I'm retired. I'm just going to be a massive bong head. With long grey hair. Yep, exactly. James has been threatening to grow his hair since the it when I'm retired. I'm just going to be a massive bong head. With long grey hair. Yep, exactly. James has been threatened to grow his hair since the minute that I met him when he had a Beatles haircut with a red streak. I'm going to do it.

I'm going to do it. I'm going to grow my hair out. Side note, James used to dye his hair shiny, shiny black and then with a red streak in it and it was long. It was like shoulder length. It was not shoulder length. It was awful. It was the world's worst haircut.

I don't know what you were thinking. If we're talking world's worst haircut, why don't we talk about the fringe that you had that you cut to your own head when we met? Well, it can't have been that bad because you bloody kissed me. Well, I was about to say it can't have been that bad for you because we're married. Sucked in.

I've grown my hair back again. No, but I knew that I could fix your hair. And I knew that one day I'd trap you in the kitchen. What? All right. Oh, Lord. You got any recommendations for people? It's slid into madness.

Okay, yes, I do. I have a lovely email. You can email the show at suggestiblepod at gmail.com. You can also follow us at suggestiblepod on Instagram. Not that I've been posting very much, but I should be. And on Facebook and the Twitters. Hi, James and Claire. This is from Hugh Rivet Karnak.

Great name, Hugh. I love a hyphenated name. Great name. Yeah. Hi, James and Claire. This is from Hugh Rivet Karnak. Great name, Hugh. I love a hyphenated name. Great name. Yeah. Thanks for a great podcast. You are welcome, Hugh. I have a suggestion for these times of lockdown. Wild Earth on YouTube.

Ooh. Twice daily live safari drives on two reserves in South Africa near the Kruger National Park. Amazing to follow the big and little dive while being – oh, live. I think he means live. While being very educational at the same time. Evening drives could be tricky with your Melbourne time, but you can try and make it work.

Thanks again for the podcast, especially James' more successful one. That's right. No, really, that sounds really cool. Wild Earth on YouTube. I also have another recommendation that I forgot to sneak in. We have got a couple of new shows that have popped up in the Planet Broadcasting Network,

which is what we run currently. We do. We've got lots of extra shows in there. So if you're looking for extra content after obviously this one and the weekly Planet, there's three new ones. Obviously, you know, there are ones that we love like Do Go On. Brilliant. Lots and lots of other shows. You can check them out at planetbroadcasting.com. The only one we love though, just Do Go On. No, but I wanted to talk about three new ones. Obviously, you know, there are ones that we love like Do Go On. Brilliant. Lots and lots of other shows. You can check them out at kindofbroadcasting.com.

The only one we love though, just Do Go On. No, but I wanted to talk about three new ones or relatively new. Sure. One is Only Wrong Answers with Kate McClellan and Kate McCarthy. They're hilarious comedians from Melbourne. People might know them from Get Crackin'. Get Crackin'. Yes. Or their YouTube show, which is also really good. Terrific stuff.

Which is The Cooking Show. I'm pretty sure it's called. Catering Show. Anyway, they have got – Yeah, The Catering Show, that's right. They've got a podcast called Only Wrong Answers. Also, Hat Jam. I've talked about this before. Yes.

It's a musical show. It's by Cab Timberley, who used to sing with Eskimo Joe. That's right. My brain just went crazy. He still sings with Eskimo Joe. Anyway, it's a brain just went crazy. He still sings with Eskimo Joe. Anyway, it's a great show and it's really interesting. He talks all about songwriting. So if you've ever wanted to write a song.

I have. He talks to, the most recent episode is with Ben Lee. Ben Lee. People might know him. Musician Ben Lee. Cigarettes will kill you. And apparently they take mushrooms halfway through because they were in LA and Ben Lee was being all musician-y.

Oh, my God. I know. So I think it all derails a little bit. But it should be interesting. Listen, that's Hat Jam. And the last one I wanted to talk about, which I'm really excited about, is called Time to Die. Yeah.

Yeah, by a lovely friend of ours, Tom Witte, hosted by Ben Russell. And Tom Witte. You may know from many things around the traps. That's right. The Grub, also Gamey Game Game, a bunch of other stuff. Yes, many other things. Do you want to explain the premise, James? Basically, I've talked about this recently on the Weekly Planet,

but essentially these two sit down and they bring in two comedians and each of the comedians have to write the other one about three to four minutes of stand-up, but the stand-up is abysmal and they have to go up and then sell these terrible jokes at a live comedy event. And the idea is that whoever kind of gets the most laughs, without changing it, you just kind of have to do what has to. You have to read the other comedians' terrible jokes.

You can make it your own, like, with your own cadences and pauses and things like that. Yeah, they have to read it. Yeah. And it's just fascinating and kind of also liberating for some comedians and also absolutely soul-crushing. Excruciating. Yeah, so it starts with, like, where they discuss what kind of direction

they're going with and what kind of comedian they are. And they listen to, you hear like a little bit of the actual standup and then you go out to the clubs and you hear them actually do the performance after that. And then they have, they interview them directly after. They're just like, oh my God, that was an absolute train wreck. Or some of them are like, that wasn't actually as bad as I thought it was going to be and whatever.

But yeah, it's great. And you should listen to it. There's three that are coming out, but then there's a little bit of a pause. Yeah, because. Yeah, which is a shame, I know, because it's really awesome. And there will be once things are back and rolling. But, yeah, it's really worth listening. There's a new episode coming out this week.

Yeah, go check it out. Time to die. It's not. Unfortunate title. No, perfect title. Totally perfect. You get those clicks, man. Get those clicks. All right.

We've been Suggestible Pod. You can find us on all the places at our Suggestible Pod. And now we're going to descend into madness. I'm going to keep editing. Good for you. Feels good to have. Get out there, James. My job, whatever this is, feels good.

Feels good? Yes. Alright, you going to bed? What are you doing? I don't know. I'll hang around. You should watch that rebooted show before you go to bed. It's good. Yeah, right. Stop telling me what to do, mate. Stop telling me what to do. What do you think of that? No. Never. That's my job in life because you would not

know what to do. That's very true. Okay, let's go.
