Verbatim from the transcripts — each quote links to the moment.
“Nah, if I was joking I would have said anal sex.”
“The optics. That's so wanky.”
“I just have a lot of OCD triggers.”
“Don't let a lie get in the way of a good storey kind of thing.”

What's a practical tip for using wireless microphones in live productions?
Use fresh batteries for every show rather than rechargeables, since rechargeable batteries' charge indicators can be misleading and they degrade in reliability.
Toni explains she has told people for years that almonds cure a twitchy eye, a claim she picked up from her year 9 music teacher, Miss Stewart; a producer notes it may relate to magnesium deficiency.
Toni describes how her mechanic father's impatience on the phone taught her to talk fast and avoid 'wasting time,' which she traces in therapy as the root of her adult anxiety and apologetic behaviour.
Toni retells a story from a book about a woman who underwent hypnotherapy, 'recovered' a memory of being abused by her father, confronted him, and only years after his death realised the memory had been fabricated by her mind.
