Speaker 1 (00:00):
For all your mad bastards loving the Big Show podcast
Get up even Closer on Instagram, YouTube and ticked off
for for dogging four to seven every weekday on radio
heardrackare Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Hey fellers, we've got this big bloody spotlights on us.
Have they not normally on? No?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Oh oh they must have filmed a video or something.
They must have Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, good day, mogus.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
A really good day. Thanks for asking, keazy Man. I
appreciate giving. I had a really good day. And what's
happening now is because I've got a little business that
I run there. But I've got a great team and
now I'm not doing one million hours a week.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Do you reckon?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
That came about after you went to Europe? You know
what I mean? You got everything to a certain place,
you then went obey and then you realize.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
It was before that as well. It was before that
as well. We've we we most of this year has
been spent demo in all this ship that had to
be done, and we're finally on the other side of it.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
God.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
It makes a difference, right, and now I can get
shipped down every day. So today I had a man
around Jason yes, which was nice. It's nice to have
a man about the house.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
What could you possibly be about to you don't like
a man about the house.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
It's deep thought because I, well, you know, I had
so many jobs he could do well. I was just
adding on.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
There is that sort of stuff, which is great, but
there's also something emasculating about.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
It, you know. But the vibe that I took into it,
and I don't know whether we'll get into this, was
I could very much do this by myself. I just
don't have the time. So that's how I sort of
sold it till him. Okay, Yeah, that made me feel
better about it, especially because sort of the first thing
he did was like, I was like, oh, I don't
know how this is going to go today if that's
the standard we're operating that. So I had to get
straight in there and just make a couple of suggestions.
(01:48):
And that made me feel better about myself. Okay, I
did that on perfect. Everything else he did was great.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Was the first thing was the cabinet thing.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Well, the first thing was the cabinet thing. So he
we have these two shelving units which have got you know,
normally you'd see them and there be books on a
multi layered shelving unit. Not right, A plant here and
some books here and some family photos. Yes, so I
got those two things. And previously we would have the
(02:17):
TV on the wall, but now we don't have room
for it because we're in this new house, so we've
put it in the center of these two shelves. So
it sort of sits fifty to fifty on across these
two shelves, which means there's two metal poles running directly
down the center of the screen, which is not good.
So he came in to cut those out right. So,
but that meant that it needed reinforcing and screwing to
the wall. So I said, if you could screw into
(02:38):
the walls on the top so we can't see them.
So he did that, but he did it high enough
that I can still see them, and he did them
so that they're not directly in line with each other,
they're slightly on the piss and straight away that fucked
me off. Well, I can fuck it up. Yeah, you
fuck it up. I don't need you, so that really
(02:59):
that was okay. So then I thought I'd better get
involved in this now. Of course he didn't need me to. Yeah, yeah,
but that was like ship because I've asked him to
do all this stuff. Now, yes, maybe he's going to
bager it up, but they didn't. He nailed the rest
of it. Pretty unique request to be honest, Yes, however
a true and that was all he had to do.
The thing about was just a screwing to the wall.
(03:19):
Everything else he nailed just he just in the end
used a grinder, which sounded like it was a debarcle.
But fortunately I wasn't in the house at the time.
I loved to himself all day, so he was like
you and me, jays. Yes it was skilled.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
And you know, but the reality is if I get
people over to my house to do stuff and stuff
I can't do.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Yeah, and I know that.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
And funnily enough, this very morning, my wife and I
were lying in bed and I was talking about how
much I admire people that are able to you know,
I said to how good would it be if you're
a builder, a really good builder, and you like a
house like mine, for example, you would fill your boots
and you would just make it. You would just make
(04:09):
it look amazing because you have those skills. And I
just have absolute admiration for people that are really good
at fixing stuff and it makes me feel And then
my wife was like, yeah, but you've got other skills.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Well you do, That's true, you do. It's just like God,
I wish I was a bit more practicing, and other people,
you know, they envy those skills. But of course you're
even happy with yourself, you would always far rather be
somebody else, have other people's skills.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
And it's also that thing of like having an interest
in it. Like my wife often says, I wish I
was into gardening, but I just bores the shit out
with me, so of course, and you know, if you're
not interested.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
In it, then you're not going to learn. She's interested
in helping people, which is a higher value. I wish
I had that, but I don't. I just don't give ah.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
Yes exactly, Shirt four on Radio Hurarkymember The Wary Big
Show Podcast.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
What you need is a personality trait like what I have,
where you want to fix it, like you, I welcome something,
not welcome stuff to break, but I welcome a challenge
that I.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Can opportunity to learn.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Yeah, for some reason, I and my dad's the same.
We've talked about it. You just like you'd love the
chance to sit back here. Yes, how am I going
to solve this problem?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
A problem that I've got with that is that the
only real things that come up with stuff around the house.
So the other thing was I added on putting pictures
up on the wall because I've got all these pictures
to go up on the wall. So currently, because we've
just moved down, they're all just leaning up against the
wall all over the house. So that's been for two weeks.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Don't you guys take ages discussing where they should go.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I stay out of it. Yeah right, okay, I stay
out of it. No one cares about my opinion. Man,
you recognize that over the years, So I'd rather just
not get involved. So I said, oh, I will do
the pictures, and the miss is there she goes, oh no, no,
I'll put those up, and so I was like, oh yeah, okay,
then sweet airs. So that was our discussion last night,
and so today I hadn't put them up because I've
(06:04):
got no doubt you will put them up. My question
is when will they be put up? Correct? I don't.
I don't hate ship line around the house for ever.
So they're up now, and then we can go from
there we can go from the bean up to moving
around up, but not on the floor for a month.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Yes, so I'm happy with that. I, you know, definitely
wish I did have that trait kesy where I like
to fix stuff. I just don't.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
It'sn't as complicated as people think.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I'm sure. I'm sure with the pictures on the wall,
I would have put eight billion holes in the wall
doing what this guy did today, like putting ten pictures
on the one wall and sort of spacing them all
out the same going to hang because the tension on
the wire, I would have I would have spent all
(06:52):
day doing that holes everywhere, and it still would have
looked like ship. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
That's that's where things get tricky, like real precison.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
One thing I will say, and it's only a small thing,
is that I've got better at that kind of thing.
And the key, as I banged on about for me
is preparation and going, Okay, well, if I'm going to
do this, make sure you do it properly. Because before
I just jump into something and make an absolute mess
(07:19):
of it and then go oh fuck that shit and
then leave it.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Nowadays, now more than ever, you have greater access to
videos on how to do Yeah, so like if you
just watch it or like inhabit, whether you're an article
on how stuff work like really like not obviously just
for basic stuff, specialized stuff you definitely need a qualified person,
but most stuff you can fix this out.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Well, you know, I'll give you a classic case in point,
a hole in the wall and the.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Jet.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Yeah, so you got a hole there, and a little
while back I would have and I did, in fact,
go how the hell do you fix that? How do
you fix that? Because there's no back to it. Yes,
now I know how to do that, you know what
I mean? And it's not that complicated. And it was,
and it was purely through looking at it on YouTube
and going fixing a.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Hole in the wall and shave it's amazing. Okay, is
away this weekend. She gave me one job to do. Yes,
put the trampoline back together. So we've got a springless trampoline,
so I had to take and of course they've got
walls on them these days, so the kids can't fall
off and kill themselves. It would just bullshit. Legs say,
(08:26):
have to take the legs off them so that the
rest of it could fit down the side. Of the house,
absolutely bull like it was to get over there. So
she said, yeah, if you could do that and anyway,
So I went down and sort of started fiddling around
with it today while old mate was upstairs being a
man in the house. I thought, I'll just start knocking
this about. Get this done. Absolutely no chance whatsoever. Look there,
(08:50):
looked it up on looked it up on a video.
You have to get strops. So you got these sort
of U shaped stainless steel legs, yes, with another leg
that's in the middle, and you have to get strops
that go right the way around the legs so that
and they have they can handle a thousand kilos of
(09:10):
pressure so that you can bow them back because they're
held under tension. The legs they held undertention, so when
they're in it's fine.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
So dangerous, dude.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
And so I had to look at this video. He's
got all six legs with these strops around them, and
has got the the the trampoline itself floating above the
top of it, and is trying to lower the whole
thing onto these six different sets of legs at the
same time. And you were sitting there and I called
them assus, we're going to have to get a man.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
You're sitting there.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
With like a hammer, your phone and a hard head
on backwards and oh fuck that that.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Is insane, unbelievable. How was that the setup?
Speaker 3 (09:52):
So when you got the Champolaine, obviously someone came and it.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Was already there. We bought it with the house when
we moved into it. He bought the trampoline, not the house.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
I remember, because we had a trampoline for the kids
as well. What a fucking ball.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Ache it was.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Would have been a square rusty.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
One been getting the springs on and ship it was
a nightmare.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
So anyway, got us pay some bastard for that, and then.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
They just turned to rust and fall apart and tumbleweed.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yeah, well they.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Bounce on it a couple of times and then they
get disinterested.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Yes, do you try putting a sprinkler underneath it in summer?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Love it so much fun? Hey?
