thought that uh that introduction by our

27
00:01:45,749 --> 00:01:43,439
voiceover man jim wilshere this week

28
00:01:48,310 --> 00:01:45,759
sounded a bit different it actually

29
00:01:50,469 --> 00:01:48,320
sounded quite intimate quite quite close

30
00:01:53,109 --> 00:01:50,479
the proximity it was surprising the

31
00:01:54,710 --> 00:01:53,119
voiceover was was just it's a modern

32
00:01:56,789 --> 00:01:54,720
modern technology you think he's in the

33
00:01:58,469 --> 00:01:56,799
same room with us it feels almost as if

34
00:02:01,510 --> 00:01:58,479
he's in the same room with us in fact he

35
00:02:04,550 --> 00:02:01,520
is get on the glance get on with it

36
00:02:06,630 --> 00:02:04,560
hello jim hello boys jim's here jim our

37
00:02:08,550 --> 00:02:06,640
voice over man from and now it's time

38
00:02:10,070 --> 00:02:08,560
for dr richie reports and

39
00:02:12,309 --> 00:02:10,080
it's a great assault and all the rest

40
00:02:14,390 --> 00:02:12,319
he's here in the room with us you know i

41
00:02:16,150 --> 00:02:14,400
didn't even know he was a real person i

42
00:02:18,470 --> 00:02:16,160
thought he was really i thought he was a

43
00:02:20,869 --> 00:02:18,480
voiceover from another realm a voice

44
00:02:22,470 --> 00:02:20,879
over generated me or something i used to

45
00:02:27,830 --> 00:02:22,480
be

46
00:02:30,390 --> 00:02:27,840
it's good to see you and it makes the

47
00:02:32,550 --> 00:02:30,400
zone this slightly more um crowded it

48
00:02:34,630 --> 00:02:32,560
does in our little studio it does but

49
00:02:36,630 --> 00:02:34,640
i'm pleased to say that not only will

50
00:02:38,550 --> 00:02:36,640
jim be joining us later in the show for

51
00:02:40,710 --> 00:02:38,560
the think tank oh yes he will you see

52
00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:40,720
well last night at skeptics in the pub

53
00:02:45,030 --> 00:02:42,720
here in city jim gave a live read of one

54
00:02:48,550 --> 00:02:45,040
of his skeptical poems about the these

55
00:02:50,470 --> 00:02:48,560
funny energy power bracelets

56
00:02:52,470 --> 00:02:50,480
anyone who makes fun of those silly

57
00:02:55,070 --> 00:02:52,480
things but it's surprising because jim

58
00:02:57,710 --> 00:02:55,080
has said welcome to the skeptic zone now

59
00:03:00,949 --> 00:02:57,720
124 times because this is episode number

60
00:03:02,550 --> 00:03:00,959
124 for the 4th of march it's 125

61
00:03:04,470 --> 00:03:02,560
actually because this is the second time

62
00:03:06,229 --> 00:03:04,480
we've done this oh

63
00:03:08,229 --> 00:03:06,239
we got to be professional about this

64
00:03:10,229 --> 00:03:08,239
and counting the pilot that we did uh

65
00:03:11,670 --> 00:03:10,239
it's 126. oh the pilot that was never

66
00:03:13,589 --> 00:03:11,680
seen that was never seen and i've

67
00:03:17,270 --> 00:03:13,599
practiced that you have practice so it's

68
00:03:18,869 --> 00:03:17,280
probably 127 127 any advance 127 all

69
00:03:21,430 --> 00:03:18,879
right

70
00:03:23,190 --> 00:03:21,440
so but the official what episode is it

71
00:03:26,710 --> 00:03:23,200
especially now after all that it is

72
00:03:28,710 --> 00:03:26,720
still officially episode number 124. ah

73
00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:28,720
jimmy must be exhausted as we are well

74
00:03:34,630 --> 00:03:32,640

75
00:03:36,869 --> 00:03:34,640

anime fest here in sydney and science

114
00:04:51,110 --> 00:04:48,960
fiction and all that sort of stuff we're

115
00:04:52,390 --> 00:04:51,120
chatting to various voice over artists

116
00:04:54,870 --> 00:04:52,400

voice-overs and things like that oh

121
00:05:05,590 --> 00:05:03,360
he had a few stories to tell about being

122
00:05:07,189 --> 00:05:05,600
cooped up in a booth i'm sure he does

123
00:05:09,749 --> 00:05:07,199
and talking he's the sort of guy who

124
00:05:11,909 --> 00:05:09,759
would probably say in a world gone mad

125
00:05:13,029 --> 00:05:11,919

126
00:05:14,070 --> 00:05:13,039

00:07:25,510 --> 00:07:23,520
wasn't that fun it was great it was

186
00:07:27,909 --> 00:07:25,520
great to have jim involved with the

187
00:07:29,909 --> 00:07:27,919
think tank actually in person as a

188
00:07:32,070 --> 00:07:29,919
actual human being rather than just some

189
00:07:33,830 --> 00:07:32,080
sort of audio signal coming through from

190
00:07:37,350 --> 00:07:33,840
i don't know where what was it like jim

191
00:07:40,070 --> 00:07:37,360
for you well the thing to me was that i

192
00:07:42,710 --> 00:07:40,080
was right when reality bites

193
00:07:44,550 --> 00:07:42,720
there's no cure

194
00:07:46,550 --> 00:07:44,560
that's deep oh

195
00:07:48,950 --> 00:07:46,560
i don't know what to say about that

196
00:07:50,710 --> 00:07:48,960
that's pretty profound now jim of course

197
00:07:53,749 --> 00:07:50,720

audience a little bit i am that's on the

201
00:08:00,469 --> 00:07:59,360
way you're trying to whet their appetite
