A listener production. Welcome to the Aunty Donna podcast brought to you by the Aunty Donna Club, where you can get all your fun Aunty Donna stuff on our Patreon. This week is a very special episode. We're joined by wonderful actor, performer and member of comedy group Big, Big, Big, Maddie Sauvage, who is a member of Big, Big, Big. They've made the new series, which is on Grouse House now, Descent. We made this series with them, they wrote a brilliant series that we knew that no network would ever ever make on Australian television about three

people on a submarine. That's all I'm gonna say about it. We built a submarine, the show is on Grouse House, go watch it now. This is a fun, this episode has nothing to do with that. This is more about two people who grew up in the country doing therapy. Let's enjoy the episode, go watch Descent, and here we go. ["Honeydonna Podcasts Theme Song"] And that there was Willie Jo Arm with his beautiful rendition of the Australian National Anthem. Wasn't that lovely, Lala? Oh, God. It was a wonderful rendition, wasn't it? And it just makes me feel proud.

Proud and patriotic, absolutely. Proud and you're not allowed to be proud anymore and I'm proud. No, absolutely. I'm proud as well. I read about the news. I read in the newspaper. Sorry, if you just joined us, this is Country Community Radio, CDMFM, AM. 29. 29. 29.

And we're a small country. For your drive. We're volunteers. And you were talking before, Delilah, about being proud. I was reading in the newspaper, apparently in the city, people aren't proud of Australia anymore. No, well they wouldn't be, would they? They're out of touch. They're not really listening.

They're not certainly not listening to broadcasts such as this, they're listening to their tunes, they're getting all their boof-doof and their rough and tumble in their ears and they're not sitting down and reflecting, reflecting on the beauty of the gums, reflecting on the sweetness of a fresh loaf. They're just simply not paying attention. And I think they're so not proud of Australia. They say, well, maybe get out to the real Australia. How about you do that?

You know, instead of living in the cities, why don't you get out of the city, come live where 3% of the population lives, the real Australia, out here in Raghurandhava. In Raghurandhava. And you know, because a city is a city is a city. That's what I think. I've been to two cities and they're exactly the same. Well, I've never been to one. Oh, you've got to go.

You get there on the Friday. You go and you go. So we booked in on the, we were seeing the matinee of the Jersey boys. Oh yes. And that was on at 2 p.m. We got there on the Friday night and we got to the hotel and the room was atrocious.

There was noise of the cars and the trains. And I said, you have to move us. And they moved us. And then- Oh, they did move you. They did move us after a bloody hurrah. And then we went and watched Jersey Boys at the 2pm show and had the matinee when you pre-order your drinks and the matinee, that's the trick.

And we watched the second act and then went and saw the Maya windows and then went home on the Sunday. Oh, and that sounds lovely doesn't it? But I saw the Jersey Boys, I saw them perform under the Sydney Harbour Bridge on the telly on New Year's Eve. Oh, on the television. They counted down the New Year. I thought I'd caught you in a lie there. No, no, no, I wouldn't go to Sydney.

I thought, well here's a lie that I'm catching you in. You just said you'd never been to Sydney. Oh, please. And you are saying you're in Sydney. No, I saw them on the screen. On the television, I understand. And I saw the city behind it, and I thought, that looks like a hellish place. They're stacked on top of each other.

Millions of people in one tower. Proud. They share rooms and all sorts of things. And we were at the Vine Inn counting in the new year. 30 of us there. Yeah. Most of us had gone home by that point. Yeah.

And I'm just standing there with my husband and my children are somewhere. They said they were out the back, out in the garden, but you know, didn't see them for the rest of the night. That's okay. They were having fun, let them do what they do. But we were standing there and the Jersey boys are counting down the new year and I just thought, well I've seen all I need to see. What's the point? Yeah, absolutely. What's the point of getting on

your Bonza or your Jet Stars or however else? Yeah, no. The wrecks were the airlines and you go and you watch them doing their bloody carry-on. And I quite liked the show. I thought it was wonderful and beautiful. And they told the story of the Jersey boys. I thought it'd just be the songs, you know, but they told the story of it. So they'd do a song and then they'd do a little scene. I really quite liked it, but I understand your point.

I think I'll save it. I think I'll save it, but I'm glad you had a nice time But it doesn't be checking into a lovely budget motel No And I think and you're right about staying up to midnight on and that's actually the topic we want you to call in about Staying up till midnight on New Year's the thing my dear husband says he says Because he says, you know You can stay up to my name's Delilah as

well. You are Delilah, yes. Glad that's clarified. And he says to me, he says, Delilah, you can stay up till midnight, but let me tell you, the cows don't know it's a new year and they're going to need milking at five. They're going to need milking and you're going to need to check that they haven't got out of the barn. Absolutely. You're going to need to check that they haven't got out of the barn. Absolutely. You're going to need to check that they haven't gotten with the lambs.

You're going to need to check that not one of them's got TB because that's your whole, that's all of them gone. And he says to me, he goes, now you can stay up till midnight to 1am, you can do whatever you want Delilah, but when I get to that barn I need to make sure you've checked on them. God forbid one of them's pregnant, I need to make sure you've checked on them. God forbid one of them's pregnant. You haven't noticed because you've been on the drink in the city. Yeah. Sick of it. Oh, we've got our first caller in.

And listen, if you are calling in, the topic today is staying up past midnight. But we're happy for you to call about anything at all, really. We're just two old ladies up for a chat. Delilah and Delilah. Delilah and Delilah. Oh, hello there. We've got our first caller I think. Now I've pressed the little button

that the producer told me to press. Nothing is in my headphones. Have you got anything in your headphones there? I've got nothing coming in. Can you hear me Delilah? I can hear you Delilah, can you hear me? I can hear you but I can't, I don't know if I can hear nothing coming in. Can you hear me, Delilah? I can hear you, Delilah. Can you hear me? I can hear you, but I can't, I don't know if I can hear the call yet. I press the button.

Press it again. Okay, I'll press it again. Beep, beep, beep. Oh no. Oh, I think I've hung up. If you are listening still there, love, do call back. Call in if you know how to operate one of these boards. And I'll get...

Where's the young boy that often comes in and... Well, he doesn't stay. He sort of helps set us up at the start. Delilah, that's his name as well. He's young Delilah. He's a nice boy. I think he would do well in the city though. I don't think it's easy for him here. He's got the shoes for the city. I think I know what you mean. He's a nice boy.

He's got the sneakers for the city. I like him a lot. I just think he would do a little shoes for the city. I think I know what you mean. He's got the sneakers for the city. He's a nice boy. I like him a lot. I just think he would do a little better in the city. He's a little bit too much of a creative sort for... He's having a hard time in high school. Yeah, he's having a... But he'll find his feet. I think so too.

He does well at the graphic design, I've heard. His mother was telling me and I just think, you know, he'll go to the city, he'll find himself, he'll have a good time. And you know, Delilah, I look at that boy Delilah and I think think, you know, he'll go to the city, he'll find himself, he'll have a good time. And you know Delilah, I look at that boy Delilah and I think you're spending a bit too much time on that laptop. Oh the boy on the laptop, yes, yes. Well that's where he's finding his community and that's what we love here on community radio FMAM in Gibraltar.

I was talking to him last week and I said you know who are you talking well no not who you talk I said why don't you talk to someone he said I am talking to someone I'm talking to someone I think he was saying in Malaysia. Oh goodness. And he plays these computer games, Delilah, with people in Malaysia and Africa and the United States and I thought well isn't that wonderful, you know. It doesn't beat a one on one conversation with your friend. Never does. But, and I'd be worried about that power, Bill. Oh, I couldn't imagine. I couldn't imagine how it would experience that. I would be worried about that for little Delilah there, but you know, all power to Bill. I couldn't imagine. I couldn't imagine. I would be worried about that for little Delilah there, but you know, all power to him. His mother, yes, his mother paying off that since the father Delilah sadly passed away. He did. He did die. And I would talk

about how he passed, but we'd have to do the trigger warnings and the lifeline and everything, but it was an awful, awful death. And I think he seemed fine. He was $3 billion in debt. Oh, the phone's ringing, Delilah. Now press that button. I'll just press that button there. Is this the button? I think that's the button next to the other button there. There's the button that's flashing, but I think that says he's calling. Oh, I wish that little Delilah was here. I think press the button and then, hello? Hello?

Good morning. Hello. Hi. How are you? God, this is City Gym. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Oh no.

I love the city. Oh goodness me. Delilah. Oh no. I love the city. Oh goodness me. Delilah. Oh my goodness. And what do you love about the city, city Jim? Ho ho. I'm not gonna like this. The hustle, the bustle.

Bourke Street, Swanston Street, I don't care which street it is. I love trams and trains and freeways, oh yeah. Oh I think we'll have to... This is a bit loud... Yes, firstly, can we turn it down a little bit, City Jim? Secondly, I think we're going to have to agree to disagree. I think the hustle bustle is one of the worst parts about the city. Well, we'll just have to differ there.

Shh! A cappuccino in a laneway is all I need to get my goat going. Oh, cappuccino. I don't mind cappuccino. You don't give a goat coffee. What's that there? You don't get your goat going by injecting it with caffeine in a laneway. No, goats need grass. That's disgusting.

I love goat's milk, almond milk, soy milk, any kind of milk because I'm from the city. Goodness me, what a bloody load of crap. City Jim, do you feel proud? Oh yeah, proud as punch, living in buildings, tall towers, heading to casinos, watching streaming platforms. Why do you even call it milk? I'm sorry to go back to that,. Why do you even call it milk? I'm sorry to go back to that, but why do you even call it milk? If it's come out of an almond, it's not milk.

City Jim, I know about seven dairy farmers and they're really struggling at the moment. You know, the prices have gone up exponentially. It's almost not worth it. They're not taking a wage. And do you think about that when you're drinking your almonds? All I think about is getting to the next meeting, going to the movies, getting out and living large in the city.

Well, you know, here's the thing. We get movies as well. The third Sunday of every month, we just screened Chicago for the first time at the town hall. We get movies, you know, we get everything you get, but we don't bloody faff about. And that's what, when I hear this, I think you made such a good point there, Delilah, about the farmers and the, you know, I just think of, do you know when the vegans, they came into one of the farmers' farms and they filmed the cows? Did you see this?

I did. They filmed the cows and the cows were covered in muck and I'll tell you why. They like rolling in muck. That's where they live and work. I'm sorry that in the city you think, oh, the cows must be clean and washed. No, cows are covered in muck. There's this awful assumption we don't love our cows. We love our cows.

We're friends with our cows. The heifers we name, right? We name them, we get to know them. All right? Yes, they're a bit mucky, but that's all part and parcel of living on the land and I'm proud of it. City Gym. I'm proud of it too, City Gym. And I think you'll fire City Gym. I think I know where my meat comes from. I'll have some beef. I know, it comes from Delilah's up the hill.

Yeah, and I know that. And I say, and I know that you talked about naming the heifers, naming the bulls, you know. I know that that steak had a, and I know that you talked about naming the heifers, naming the bulls, you know. I know that that steak had a name. There's a good chance I know the name of that steak. I know the name of that bull. I don't think you've, you're probably doing that. You probably go to your supermarket, you get your almond milk, which kills more cows, I

read recently. Have you heard this? Oh, I read recently. Have you heard this? More cows die because of the almond farming than cows. Did you know this? Yes, and if you eat one avocado, that's seven farms out of business. I love avocados. I scramble them up for breakfast with ricotta cheese and have them on sourdough toast. God's sake, what a bloody carry on. Pathetic.

Absolutely pathetic. You're bloody, bloody carrying on and you know every single, what did you say you have avocadoed? I have smashed av we call it. Smashed av with ricotta cheese, is it ricotta? Ricotta cheese on sourdough with some poached eggs. And I bet you don't even know, the way they make that ricotta is with cow's milk.

What do you know? City Gym. City Gym and you're there on your- It all comes back farm to table. You're on your bloody, the websites with the vegans, they have these websites with the videos of the cows covered in muck and you're thinking well I can't abide by that. Meanwhile munching and crunching on a on a fetter

dish. Oh yum yum yum with free-range eggs too. Gym, you're starting to piss me off. Yeah, no, I agree with you, Delilah. Sorry about that. I've used foul language. But you're starting to really piss me off, City Gym. Uh-oh! City Gym's mad country. Delilah mad! Yes, I am mad. I am mad, City Gym. I'm sick of being the butt of a joke. Living up in the country. You know, I just think, you know, and I say this, Delilah comes from a long line of, of

the, of the, what do you call them? Farmers. Yeah, farmers, yeah. Sorry, my brain's a bit. And she comes from a log line of farmers. And when I hear people going, oh, you know, instead of the milk, I'll just have an almond. Isn't this is what you do, yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And when in fact, and you do it for the, every almond that is grown, the way they grow that almond is by taking land and they kill seven cows for every almond. Did you know this? No! Well you need to do your research, City Gym. You need to jump onto your forums.

And why don't you just jump on a V-Line and come see us? Oh, sounds great! He probably doesn't even know how to drive. He'd probably need to. We'll pick you up from the station. Well you won't find your way otherwise. it'll be a bit of a walk. I'll bring my phone and watch things on my screen. Yeah well you're not gonna get much reception out here love. In fact the way you're gonna find our

place is that the good with balloons on the corner balloons on the letterbox balloons on the corner, balloons on the letterbox, balloons on the corner. We didn't have this. I'm gonna swear here, freaking Google Maps. And you talk to a kid now, they say, how am I gonna find your place? Just give me the address. This is what they say, they say, just give me the address, I'll put it in Google Maps.

And I say, no, I will talk you through the every single street and turn. I can't stand that. From your say, no, I will talk you through the every single street and turn. I can't stand that. From your house to the, and they go, I'll just give me the address. I'll put it in Google Maps. I go, no, no, no. I'm going to talk you through the two hour drive and put out balloons. Yes. Outrageous.

And I've got, I've got big, large corrugated numbers on the fence of my property. So you can see the number as well. I've welded them out, cut them out. And you did that yourself, didn't you? I did. I did do that myself on a Friday. And it was lovely and you see them tuning off, tuning off as I list all of the favourite little landmarks that I've seen and all the lovely things they can see along the way on

their journey. That's the thing, they lose the journey. Journey planner. No, you're not on a journey are you? No. You're switching off. They just say, this is great but it's taking 45 minutes and I can't remember all of this. Just give me the address. I say, how's about I tell you what, you drive down this street and you'll see a second street, you turn down that. Why can't I do that for 45 minutes? Why can't I tell you all the streets you shouldn't turn down as well? All the turns to avoid and I will tell you when to turn into another lane to make the turn as well. Yeah, so you've got to go into that sort of detail.

I've got a question for you, City Jim. Yeah? What do you consider a party? A party for me is in a high-rise tower. Thousands of people. Crystal champagne, spring rolls. Nope, nope, nope. All you need is a few cases of beer for the fellas, a couple of nice white

wines in the fridge. You could even hire a jukebox. I know that Delilah's cousin is doing that jukebox business now. Yeah, my cousin Delilah, you can call him up and he'll give you a jukebox at a very cheap rate if you tell me. And I'm happy to extend that to you, City Gym, if you'd like to try it out. And you just get the jukebox and you can load it up with the songs. Does it have Kendrick Lamar?

Who's Kendrick Lamar? What is that? Does it have Dom Dollar? Oh, who's Dom Dollar? It takes dollars. Yeah. Does it have Tay Tay Swiftie Sue? Who is Tay... Oh, are you talking about Taylor Swift?

I like her. Oh, she wears country boots. Yeah, no, she's nice. She's nice. My granddaughter went into the city to see her show, performed for seven hours, I heard. That's what I heard, and I heard that she's very good for the girls.

And even though- She spreads a good message. Yeah, and even though she charges, I heard, so my niece, she paid $3,500 for her ticket, right? But apparently she leaves a few free and like, I don't know, gives a couple of them for free or something. Nice lady, Tay Tay. Oh, lovely.

She'll give a couple of the seats for free or something like that. Oh, I hadn't heard of this. And she'll perform for eight, nine hours. Yes. Even though she doesn't have to. No, but she's obviously got the variety to sustain it. Absolutely, yeah.

Now, City Gym, do you stay up past midnight? Oh, yeah. I'll stay up till five in the morning drinking almond milk. Oh, that's far too late. Oh, that's too late. I'm getting up. I'm up before then. I'm up at milk. Oh, that's far too late. Oh, that's too late. I'm getting up. I'm up before then. I'm up at 4.30 much. To the cows.

Why don't you just milk the cows at midday after a sleep-in? Oh, yes, and why don't we do that? Yes, and why don't we just take them out for a dance as well and play pool with them? Why don't we do whatever else? You're talking absolute nonsense. And this is a problem with the people in the city. They vote and they try to have opinions on country affairs and they don't actually understand what it's like. You can't dance

with a cow. A cow doesn't know how to play pool. He wouldn't know that. I knew you were joking. I'd like to play pool with a cow. Oh, you can't. How are they going to hold the stick? They don't have, well, much less opposable thumbs. They don't even have fingers, City Gym. They've got hooves. You can't play pool with hooves. You can't chalk up with a hoove. How are you going to chalk up with a hoove, City Gym?

Have you ever tried chalking up with a hoove, City Gym? Sorry, I was busy watching Foxtel. And this is exactly my point. Short attention spans. Foxtel? Geez Louise. No. Well, you know, we've got the Foxtel for the football. But ABC's perfectly fine. We've got the Foxtel for the football, but ABC is perfectly fine. We've got it, but not for you.

Should I stay? Yeah, I quite like City Gym. You're a great antagonist. That's what I thought. I thought I could sort of bring the opposing view. Yeah, I think you're, and you,'re, you represent what I think has happened here. Can I propose a theory here, Delilah? Please do, please do. I don't think City Gym existed before this call. I think he's been born out of our id.

He's been born out of our consciousness. The phone's not connected to anything. The phone isn't connected to anything. City Gym represents all of our fears. I want to come to your town and build home. Metricon homes everywhere. Oh, so this is what City Gym's going to do to you. City Gym is saying things I don't understand.

I'm afraid of them. Yeah. Going to get your kids and turn them gay. Oh, City Gym. City Gym, please. Oh, City Gym, I've got gay children and they're alright. I've worked through that. Oh, Sydney Jim. Sydney Jim, please. Oh, Sydney Jim, I've got gay children and they're alright. I've worked through that. We're not afraid of...

No, we've worked through that one. Ten years ago, I mean, the vicious things I said about Alan Degeneres in front of that child that I now know is gay, the vicious things I said during the late 90s watching Oprah with that child. I'll never admit to the pain that that would have caused that child. What I'll say is I get it now and I voted yes for the gay marriage. Oh that's good. I'll never admit to the pain I caused up until that point though, silly Jim. Can I bring my Tesla to town?

What is a Tesla? Plug it in electric car! Oh electric cars. Not in my wall socket. You're not big, not jumping on my power bill for your car. And I'd like to see you getting to our town. This is the thing, great idea in theory for a zip down, getting to our town on just a tank of electricity, is it? On a battery. I'd actually like to see you going with this. And this is the thing they don't know about electric vehicles. I've got a question for you. Where are you getting your electricity from? From the wall.

No, from the grid. No. And where are you getting the grid from? What's a grid? Fossil fuels. Changes nothing. Changes absolutely nothing. You either get the fossil fuel directly into your car or you ask us hard-working country people to dig it up and burn it for your electricity. I don't know about all that but what I do know is your tessels or whatever else it's not gonna fare well on a dirt truck. Oh, I never thought of it that way.

Yes I don't think your tessal's going to, I wouldn't like to see the tessal trying to get over a sort of a flooded terrain. No certainly not. And see it over a cattle grid, I suspect it might short fuse. Yes, yes a cattle grid and I don't think you've got many plugs up in the Massillon Ranges do you? So next up you're thinking of going, they all go on hikes these ones in the city, they come out to you. Oh I love a hike, get in touch with nature. They come out to the city. Leave my rubbish everywhere and go home. So exactly. City gym you bastard.

City gym, leave your rubbish. You take, you leave nothing, you take nothing. You understand that City Gym? No, what does that mean? Oh, there's signs everywhere. I maintain them every two months. I hate City Gym. I go round every morning, five o'clock after I've been to the cows, and I go round with my little bag and I pick up rubbish from city folk like you and I post about it on Facebook. Yes, I saw that Facebook post the other day, all the bags and disgusting. Yeah, disgusting.

19 comments it had just from you, Delilah, but it was really supportive. And there was one, it was kind of one comment broken up. Broken up, yes. Some spelling mistake, but that's okay. That happens. I just think it's such a shame. It's such a shame to see. They want to get in touch with nature.

Well, why don't you bloody live here? And they talk, here's the other thing, City Jim. You're talking about how hard it is to afford a house. Yeah, oh yeah. How's it too expensive. Well, why don't instead of trying to live in your bloody shoebox apartment, we got houses out here. Oh yeah. Why don't you get a house out here for an affordable rate? There's no work. There hasn't been work in this area. We have a 50% unemployment rate and it's three hours from

any work of any kind that you'd be able to do. But you're always complaining about the price of houses. Affordable houses here. Affordable houses and tell you what, you don't need a job in the same way because you can work on the land. Everyone needs help. Everyone needs help that I know of. We give you a couple of hours of work. We won't pay you. We won't pay you on the season. Yeah, we'll get you.

But we'll feed you, we'll feed you, we'll give you things to do, you'll be fun, entertained, that's all lovely, but do you know what else you'll walk away with? A sense of community. A sense of community. You'll have about 25 people watching your back. I love that show, Backroads on the ABC. Oh yes, no no I do too. Yeah, that's lovely. That's nice, we've found some cool ground there. There's no guns in this country. Yes, no, well no, I have several guns.

I have many guns, yes. That's what you're talking about. You shouldn't have guns. Okay, I understand here. Out of touch. Yeah, no. So that's a great position to have, oh I don't want guns and yes, not like America, I've seen America in the news. They have guns for shooting other people. No, the guns we have are for shooting roos. So you've got a problem with- Kangaroos? Don't shoot kangaroos. Yeah, okay, yeah, sure, sure. I'd love to see you trying to stop a roo from stealing, you know, from bothering your...

What's the one we do with the milk? The cow. Yeah, the cows. I'd like you got the roos bothering the cows. I'd like to see you, you know, trying to deal with them without a gun. We've got a few guns and we keep them around. You live in your Winnie the Pooh fairy folk tale land where all of us, all the animals are just pleasantly getting along, skipping along.

And here we come, us nasty country folk with our guns, shooting them in the skull, ripping their heads off in front of their young. And you think we're evil. It's just not reality, City Jim. Where do you think you get your milk from? Shopping centres? Oh, shopping centres. It's from a cow.

And if we're not there shooting the roos. Oh, I didn't know! If we're not there shooting the roos, you're not getting your milk. Then the kangaroo is gonna take that cow, pop it in its little pouch and hop away. And where's your milk? Where's your milk?

In an almond. In an almond, yeah. Oh yum. I'd like to see you get actual milk. Almond milk, almond butter too. Yum, yum, yum. And you'll be in a hospital bed by Friday with that. You'll be so depleted of all of the vitamins

and minerals you need because all the cows have been eaten or swallowed by kangaroos or kicked in the head and it's just disgusting. We need our guns. We need our guns and I remember when um, when Howard tried to take our guns, he was wearing them. That bastard. And I thought, well I'd like to see you here doing your talk not wearing bulletproof vests under your shirt.

Is that a veiled threat? No, I'm saying that 30 years ago John Howard wore a bulletproof vest under your shirt. Is that a veiled threat? No, I'm saying that 30 years ago John Howard wore a bulletproof vest under his shirt and I still haven't moved on from that instance. What I'm saying is that something happened a very long time ago. Oh! Tried to take our guns. Well I have to go now back to my other planet. Oh you live on a planet. Oh where's that? Why don't you tell us that? I live on the moon. Oh how fun. On the moon? Bye. Well tell us about the moon. I live on a space station on the moon. Not yet, but we're building them. Oh for god's sake, build a field first. Well, but no, that's true. You're going to need to eat something. What are you building on the moon?

We're building towers made of ivory. Oh goodness. Get them. Here I was thinking that maybe City Gym is working with his hands up on the moon, establishing something when I'm trying to grow something. We're building administrative farms, farms of admin and data. Get that off the line I hate this man I want him off. I'll get him off the line don't you worry I just need to figure out which button to press to get him off the line. So there's the one that you're on. Are you there Jim? Are you there? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. And I love the city.

I can't deal with this anymore Delilah. So when he talks, the big one here goes orange. So maybe press that. But that's the one I talk to get him on. I love the city. Or maybe press the red one. Love the city. Or is it the brown?

Or is that the permanently red one? I'm off to Laneways to see opera. Delilah, if this city gym is in my ears for one more second. I'm going to pop off, you know, I'm going to really pop off at him. Oh yeah. No, city gym, can you just give us a second, we're trying to violently hang up on you. I can hang up myself. Oh could you? Yeah.

Bye. Bye bye. He was nice. He was nice fella. Oh that was lovely. He was very helpful in the end. We might get him in when Delilah's not in. Yes, no that's the thing. That's the thing I think I was a little quick to judge City Gym initially but I think he

was alright. We must reflect on our own prejudice. You know I think Father O'Kelly was saying in his homily last Sunday, you've got to reflect on your own prejudice. And also, he was still talking about the film Dogma. He was, he was. He was saying that apparently a woman plays God. Have you heard about this?

Oh, I don't like thinking about it too much. A woman, a singer songwriter woman playing God. I don't know about that. Is that that Taylor again? No, it was Alanis Morissette. Right. And she plays God apparently. And there's, I don't know, he just said that,

you know, that we should try and ban Dogma. And I said, Father O'Kelly, that film's been out for 30 years now. Maybe it's time to move on. And he said, that's fair. And then I invited him around for lunch on the Monday and he came and we had lunch and it was very nice. Oh, what did you have?

We just did ham sandwiches. Oh lovely. Smoked ham? Oh no, just the dally ham from, I went to the butcher though, so it might have been smoked because I've been trying to go to a butcher rather than the supermarket for my meat. Yes. And so I went there, I did ham, margarine. Hey, so you guys, Broden here.

We have to stop recording the podcast now. Oh, I was just sort of talking about ham sandwiches. No, no, no. I'm just coming from a higher plane to tell you that we're going to stop recording now. Can I just talk about the relish? Broden, are you proud? I try to guard my pride and keep it at a reasonable level. Are you proud? I'm proud of Australia. I think we've done bloody well.

Yeah, at the Olympics. We do well at the Olympics, the ANZACs. Yeah, we do have to stop recording now. Do you stay up till midnight? No, no, I don't. I'm 35. Good, good.ZACs. Yeah, we do have to stop recording now. Do you stay up till midnight? No, no I don't. I'm 35. Good, good, yes, yes. And even though the work that you do is different to what I understand, you're in comedy, do you work hard?

Yeah, we work hard, yeah. Good, good. Not enough young people working hard anymore. Yeah, we work so hard today we actually have to stop recording. Oh, no, no, no. Just let me talk about this relish here. So I put, I didn't want to do a mustard because you know, Father O'Kelly doesn't like anything spicy. No.

So he, so last time I did the hot English mustard. Delilah, I want to talk to the improvisational comedic actor in your soul who is, who has lost control now. I've got to say that he is like um... Delilah? You know that bit in um... Nope. This is an observation he's familiar with. Yeah. So clearly there's still some of him left. Yeah. Because I've not seen that one with the black people being possessed by the white people. Yeah, get out. Get out. I've not seen that. And Matty, if you're in Delilah here, I'm talking to you both.

But do you know that moment in Get Out where he's sort of sinking back into blackness? That's Zach right now. Delilah has pretty much got full control. I wanna talk to Zach and I wanna talk to Maddie if they are still in there. I think he can hear you. Can Maddie hear you?

Maddie can hear you but she's also thinking about her smokehouse that she's just installed out the back. I'm gonna stop the podcast because we need to. This is city rush. I just want to check that they're okay with that if they can respond. I can't hear them. All I'll say is we've still got another. I can't access them. Yeah we've got two and a half hours of radio to do. Okay, well I'm hoping that when I stop that their souls will become free. I can see that these two people who grew up in the country have kind of been taken over by the soul of the country through these Delilah characters. I don't see them in their eyes anymore. Is the sax gone? I can't even hear you anymore. This is fully just Delilah.

Have you ever had Metwurst? No, what is that? It's a smoked sausage. Oh, I've got to have Metwurst. You've got to have Metwurst. Like you've got German heritage in your country town? I do, yes, yeah. I'm from South Australia.

Oh, South Australia. Yeah, up behind Northway. Oh yeah, a bit further up near the Barossa Valley. Yeah, we don't do the Metwurst. We're, we've got Irish, we have a lot of Italian. Thanks for listening to the Aunty Donna podcast. I was viciously racist to them when I was young. We'll be back next week.
