Speaker 2 (00:27):
Good eighty miles.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
How's it going, run man?
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Oh my god, I'm clear it's you.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I saw the name and I thought that can't be
the miles, but it is.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Yeah? Not too bad, mate. I was just out on parole,
so they're giving me my phone back.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I hope you're jokingly.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I'm joking. I'm still inside. It's funny. I was just
walked the dogs at the park and I was just
driving back and I as you mentioned Eva Gabor and
one of her quotes her sister Jaja was was an
absolute gem for coming up with piffy little lines and whit.
(01:08):
She's made about eight times. And they're asking me, you know,
I've been married about eight times. What's the track? And
you said, darling, she said, I'm a great housekeeper. When
I get divorced, they keep the house.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
That's a great line, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
I like that. It is Valentine's Day to me is
my number three son was born on Valentine's Day, so
it's you know, it takes on a different meaning now
he takes priority, which is not necessarily the greatest thing
in a relationship.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I guess it's a bit like being born on any
significant day Christmas Day or you know, Good Friday or something.
Everyone's thinking of other things. But it's quite special in
itself though, myles.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
It is you know where it's my mum's well, my
late mother's birthday yesterday. Today also would have been my
late cousin's birthday. She became after my mom died donkeys
years ago. She became like a matriarch. She's actually my
mum's cousin became the matriarch of the family, and her
birthdays on Valentine's Day. So's I know what you mean.
(02:09):
Anyone whose birthdays on Christmas Day or Boxing Day, they
feel sort of cheated because the present almost gets melded
into one. I get one and then get another one
the next day, so I always feel a little bit
sorry for that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Now, whilst taking me back to you know, I'm thinking
about my time at college and in a particular girl
that I loved. Oh gee, that was a strong word
I liked immensely. All through primary school, she never really
saw me. Do you have any stories like that? Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Most women are blind when I around. None of them
have ever seen me when it's funny. Actually, when I
was at school, it used to be the you know one.
I went to a boarding school, so as all boys,
so there's no one in my school. Oh my Jie
Roger was quiet. There was no one that really tigled
my fancy. But we always used to that. I pray that,
(03:04):
you know, we'd get the cards of that. And I
remember catching a few of my mates out. I said,
I recognize, I am right. They were sending it to
themselves they started. But I'm with you, I can't understand
the point of the anonymity. No, you know, what is
the point of them? I mean? And I'm sure I remember,
I'm sure I sent a couple to our mates just
(03:25):
to wind them up, making them think that someone actually
cared about them. But what is the point? I mean?
The whole point of it is to try and create
a spark and maybe see if there's some interest. But
if you know, you can send one and the person
who gets it that looks at the guy sitting message
and always sent it to me. I've been so long
waiting for him to do that. Yeah, you know, so, yeah,
(03:46):
I'm you know, I'm with him, mate. What's the point
of the anonymity?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, look, I don't get that either. It's actually been
heartbreaking for me numerous times at college. Now, tell me
about the gifts, because over the years it's gone from
being called Saint Valentine's Day from quite a religious point
of view, he was a martyr to being all about
to get down to the local department store and make
sure you buy overpriced everything because that's what you have
to do, which is terrible, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Well, I suppose it is, really, And when we look
at it, it's really, if you actually love summer, why
should we wait around for one particular day of the
year to express it. And it's almost like it's forced
on you in that way, isn't it. If you don't
front up, then you know society is going to condemn
you for it. But I argue that the commercialization is ridiculous.
(04:33):
I think that the most unique present ever given was
those ten pounds of lead that al Capones mates Devin.
The massacre in Chicago was it nineteen twenty seven or really? Yeah,
you must know that.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I don't understand that.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Valentine's State massacre. Oh my god, look it up. There's
the young man. Where have you been all?
Speaker 5 (04:54):
You know?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Because I'm a I can't be watching things like that.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
No, no, this is true. Is a true story in
al Capone. You know the old gang You must have
heard about your of course, exactly the old gangster in Chicago. Why,
actually there was a big gym Colossimo, Big Jim Colossimo
was one of the early gangsters there, and my great
granddad was his not only his driver, but also his bodyguard.
(05:18):
There's a little story for you. But al Capone sent
his guys around to some of his rivals and they
went in with old Tommy Gunn and the machine guns.
And I think it's about seven or eight of them
that they killed. So looking up mate Valentine's Day massacre.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Yes, now, well that would take years miles. I don't
have much time to lift in my life for that
kind of education. So when you look at this relative
of yours who was a bodyguard, I've met you a
few times. I know how big you are. Was he
a big unit like you?
Speaker 3 (05:49):
I'm not sure how bum and he must you know
that his boss would have been pretty big, big gym.
He must have been reasonably sized. I think I am.
I was the tallest member of the family until my
sons were born, as they all six of them now
all of them, and my grandson is all of them
as well, which is quite embarrassing, but he was. We
(06:12):
only found this out about a year or so ago
because some of our sort of brethren have been doing
a lot of research of geniology and we've found lots
of information on that and stuff in the paper, even
the stuff where you kind of be doing a good
job because Big Jim got assassinated. Maybe great granddads were
(06:33):
sort of I've just got to nip out to the toilet.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yeah and yeah, look at that's a that's a that's
a great story. I loved it story. And I just
want to go back to that commercialization aspect of it
all because I'm a big believer in not spending money.
And when you say to people, you know, I'm not
really into the commercial side of Valentine's you get that look,
you know, that that look of oh my god, your
eyeballs are going to sit me on fire, you know.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
What I mean? Yeah, Well, basically, you know, those of
us who know you and have worked with you know
that you're just a type. Yes, that's why you're the commercialism.
There's nothing to do with principle.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
That's true, that's true. You've undone me.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
It's just but but you're right, I mean, because it
can get really expensive. I mean, how much does a
dozen roses costs nowadays? I would another mortgage, wouldn't you? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
And I just crochet them, yeah, or just steal them
from a cemetery. That could work.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Yeah, can you actually crachie? That's a good skill to No.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
I can't.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
And I'm just thinking more widely of someone who could
do that for me. I couldn't pay them, of course,
because I'm too tight.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
But you know, pleasure, I bet you there's there's thousands
of people in the ZB audience who a can crochet
and be would be happy to do one little rose
for you.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
That's true. Yeah, that's true. I could we can start
a competition. They're not have a whole lifetime supply of
potential crocheted roses. Now, Miles, It's it is lovely to
catch up with you, and I've got a number of
texts coming in which I'll get to in time. But
thank you so much for calling.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
And I do my pleasure, mate, my pleasure. I've been
dying to have a chat to and I just when
you said the goobor thing, it reminded me of that line.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Well, you could be part of the my Day team
with the knowledge that you have. Can I just say
my mother is a big fan of you. My mother
misses you on the radio, as to a lot of people, Miles,

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
