Speaker 1 (00:01):
The City and with her with Kate podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Welcome to the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
I'm surprised you admitted this.
Speaker 4 (00:09):
What do you mean Getting.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Kids to behave the way you want and taser guns
do not mix.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I don't think no. I think it was Fitz who
mentioned the taser guns.
Speaker 5 (00:19):
Well, I said pepper spray. That's always for me. That
gets them to do whatever I want them to do.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
But I know, I don't want to get too heavy
about these things. But I did find a crafty little
mother from the US who has a very unique way
of trying to get well, a unique way of actually
getting her kids to do what she wants them.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
To the worst part of my day brushing teeth time.
Oh really, it is the worst. Like I'm dragging kids
by the arm. Oh, you should them down.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
You shouldn't do that either.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
I'll take a gurney to their mouth if I have
to do my head in.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
It is tough. Have you taught them to floss?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
No? I thought you could say flush. No, they're still
leaving them in the seat.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Well like like dad, like anyway, It's all on the podcast,
Get Your Kids to Behave.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
This is the Fits and Whip with Cape Ritchie Podcast.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Let's talk about nightlife of the city of Sydney, because
the numbers are growing. Fits. We're up twelve percent year
on year, which is great news. Luky Manget in the
paper this morning, Well we went fired up to get
everybody back to the city. He's got three venues on
the go.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
There we hit rock bottom, didn't we.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
I mean with you know, with the cow punch years ago,
and then our nightlife absolutely dropping off.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
The edge of a cliff. It's slowly starting to build
its way up.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Is getting there according to the Opal stats of when
people are getting the train in anybody getting an uber
or a car, we don't have those stats, have any
Uber readings.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
No, it's it is hard. I mean the train is
just perfect, isn't it? Nothing better? And if you if
you're smart enough, you can get the last one home.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
And the Metro is giving a daughter door service mate
in twenty minutes. Phil, he's a hospitality baron. He's got
seven venues. He's even dragging people in with dollar coffees
that ain't twenty four ten if you have a good
deal in and around the city, because nothing beats a
great offer, fits, I reckon. When you're thinking about with
the cost of living. If you can see a good offer,
like some pubs do a kids eat free on Sunday,
(02:27):
then I'm in absolutely in.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Do you know what I do?
Speaker 5 (02:32):
I go and there's the Maya with the Myer Center.
You've got the food court down the bottom there, you've
got the day of Janeers.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
So this is in pitt straight.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
No, you love that food court.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
On the way home, right before you get on you
to train, there's a Vietnamese place in there and they
sell the rest of their food at the end of
the day five bar, so you can get a big
tray of food for five bucks a pop. And that's
when I'll go in there and load you go for dinner.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Not that long ago, we're in the city for something
and Kate was there as well. They were doing two
for one cocktails. Oh you're in the corner there, yeah,
King Clarence King's good feed mate.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
Yeah, my local the borner does kids eat free on
a Monday night?
Speaker 4 (03:17):
I guess in every time?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Do you know why they will work?
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Well too?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
A lot of restaurants aren't open on a Monday.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Does it even have to be the city? Can it
be your local supermarket or something where's it? Could just
give us a special four I'm not loving it.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
What about this is the Office Hotel, They'll do a
twenty dollar past you fed rump steak fries and salad
twenty bucks. Sussex Hotel Classic to Underground rump steak with
fries twenty two dollars. The Scary Canary in the CBD
ten dollars steak with chips and salad plus bu buck
stay plus budget friendly pizzas from ten dollars burgers.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Well, Scary Canary gets a lot of UNI students.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
That's why I'm in there all the time.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Nothing to do with the food specials. What about this
shell House at the Skybar? This is you Tom two
dollars oysters?
Speaker 6 (04:09):
Yeah, well yeah, two hundred dollars cocktails.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Fifteen dollar don Julio Martins.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
We had a lunch at shell House, and I tell
you what it wasn't the two dollar oysters.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
I'll tell you what. The bill at the end of
ours was an absolute night.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
What about this ten dollar mini martinis and lobster rolls?
Speaker 6 (04:38):
My Uni local you used to use. That's disgusting. My
Uni local used to used to pay the time. What
do you mean so you would pay for your chicken Palmer,
you'd pay whatever the time was.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
You're kidding me.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
So if you got there at five thirty, your palm
was five dollars thirty.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
You were there at ten past one.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
It's very early.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
Pay the time.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Hey, the time is very good, dear.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Rich in Airfield, Hello, Hey, hey guys, what gets you out?
And about make got a special for us?
Speaker 7 (05:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (05:06):
In my area, there's a cafe called Bricks and Brunch
and they do six dollar bacon and theg roles.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
You're kidding me. That's good. That's a great way to
start the day. And is it a good serve as well?
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Rich Yeah, they pack it, they fully packet. Oh, that's
a great way to start the day in Fairfield.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
What was it called, Richard bricks and Brunch?
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Bricks and Brunch? Is that for the trades? I love it, buddy,
what a great idea.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
This is the fits in Whipper with Cape Ritchie podcast.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Because I'm surprised with myself.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
What have you done?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
And that's the wonderful thing about life. You can still
you can get to forty seven and there are things
that you would discover about yourself. I mean so many,
so many things but this is a very basic topic
around AI. I'm not a massive fan. I don't trust it.
It makes me feel uncomfortable. I don't. I mean, I've
got enough going on in my head on top of
(06:04):
having to look at photographs and videos and decipher whether
someone's trying to trick me.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
When you saw that giant python eating eating a buffalo,
eating a buffalo and an elephant at the same time
while giving birth to chickens, did you not realize that
was an AI photo? Like where things don't make sense
in the photo. You need to understand that's not a phone.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Well originally though when it first started happening, I'm a
trusting person. If someone says, oh my goodness, look at
this anaconda eating the buffalo, having a chicken eating chicken
eye or not eating chicken the opposite to eating chicken,
I want to believe it. That the AI I don't
like is the one where they're on a beautiful train
(06:48):
through Switzerland and it's snowing, and that they're like destination
you tag someone you'd like to go here with. I'm like,
that's probably not even real.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
But you know, Richard Wilkins has not been arrested. Remember those.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
And I'm not selling something gummy. I was selling gummies
at one point. Wait lost gummies. Anyway, I was swayed
a bit over the last couple of days because I
saw this incredible video where a mum has used a
I to get her children to behave She's obviously reached
(07:21):
the end of the line. She's asked the kids to
clean up over and over again. We've all been there.
They still won't do it. What it was, you know,
I mean in the old days. I think I was
told which didn't really work in our house because my
dad was a policeman. But you would say to the kids,
that's the police at the door. If you don't get
(07:42):
in the bath, we're going to come in and get you.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
I threatened to call Santa the other day, and that's
an early call. Early yeah, early September. I'll call Santra
at any stage of the year.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I don't think people should use the Santa thing, not
as a threat. I think you can say Santa's watching
just quietly from the front seat. Anyway, this mum, she's
been really creative. She has sat the kids down at
the end of a hard day and she has aied
a news bulletin about the four children.
Speaker 9 (08:12):
Have a listen, and now let's move on to the
main news of the two children named Elon and Lux
have still not cleaned up their room. Our special correspondent
Maria joins us we will keep you updated on the situation.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Hello, Oliver.
Speaker 10 (08:29):
The floor is covered with drawings, toys, and the bed
is unmade. In a word, total chaos. There's no doubt
that if Elon and Lux don't clean up today, a
special service will come and take all the toys away
from the house.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
So the two kids in question, you should see. The
little girl, she must be about six or seven, puts
her hand over her mouth, with her mouth like a gape,
because there's footage of their bedroom, the footage of their
kids on the cow.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
The little boy gets up and runs off.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
He does as soon as he hears it about the toys.
And look. I am not by any means saying that
threatening children or anyone really to get them to do
what you want them to do is a good idea,
but lots of well, let let's be honest, bribing it's
just so frustrating. Just do it. I often tell this story,
(09:24):
and I used to tell it quite openly and then
I realized people would narrow their eyes and think, oh,
I'm not sure that's really good parenting, not in this
day and age. But my dad just imagine this. Just
remember a yellow wardrobe for some reason, like a little
buffet style kind of wardrobe. And my sister and I
shared a room. This is in our house in Chamberlain Street, Campbelltown.
(09:46):
And we obviously were fighting because we did. We fought
a lot best of friends in our and we wouldn't
clean up and we wouldn't do this. So I still
remember when my dad came in and said, right, remember hallway,
like him walking down the hallway, right, pack your bags.
I'm taking you to the station and you have to leave.
(10:07):
Like we thought it was a I guess we thought
it was a joke, but he was quite serious.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
He was probably a police officer.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yeah, And so we had to pack our little suitcases.
I had one of those little glow bite like a
little school Yes, suit.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Cars, I will taser you deploy.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
That was happening next door. And he put us in
the car.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
We didn't even oh my god, he's gone far.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
No, he put us in the car. We drove down.
I don't know what car we had them. I think
we had a yellow Ford or something. Not enough seats
for all the kids. And he took us down to
Campbelltown Station. If you've been there, you know it. We're
at the top, there's like a drop off zone and
he dropped my sister shut up, and my sister and
I with our suitcases and he said see you later,
(10:57):
and we're crying, and he drove off.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Oh world done.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Dad obviously went around the block and came back and
probably the entire trip was thinking, God, there when I
get back, this to the fellas down the.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Station, lost me kids.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
Mate, you formed an amazing relationship with Tiny and Jail
there for a while.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Exactly unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Tiny and Tony are my sister and I.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Alara and Ruddy Hill. What did you do when you're babysitting?
Speaker 11 (11:29):
So I had a list of instructions. On the list
of instructions, Money said to me that if the two
year old misbehaves, telling him the zombies are coming, that
very effective.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
And you care the.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Zombies are coming, Yeah, that's the danger. You can flip
it on the tent.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
We did the same with the boys with the baptism
months and they didn't want to wear a shirt and
some pants.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
They don't wear pants anyway. They just wanted to wear
their undies.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Did they get that from?
Speaker 5 (11:58):
So we had to We had to bribe them with
you get to bring along a mate to the Royal
East to show if you go to the baptism and
you wear the clothes straight on.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
That was is a huge one.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Do you know what's interesting about what your dad did
is the amount of times my dad threatened to pull
the car over and you could walk home. Oh, we've
done that every time, but he never ever did. So
the fact that you're the cases we go to the
train station and he got you out of the car.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Speaking of getting out of the car, my mum will
be listening. She will hate that lot about that morning. Mum,
she did that to my brother at MacArthur Square. You know,
MacArthur Square is a beautiful time and my brother was made.
I don't think you would get in the car, his
name Stewart. He wouldn't get in the car. So Mum
did the drive the old drive off, but came back
(12:53):
and he wasn't there, So for hours we didn't know
where he was. Now where we lived off the main
street and MacArthur Square. Anyone knows. It's a really big walk.
And my brother, who must have been like seven or eight,
walked home from MacArthur Square and Mum had to like
basically report him because she drove.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
He was raised by a pack of wild dogs.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Low believable story. Let's try Amanda again. Yeah, come here,
all right, what's your story this morning?
Speaker 11 (13:27):
Oh? My my dad used to take me and my
sisters too. I think it was rid on me. And
it was only at ninety two and there was a
long driveway with a big blast state and he tell
us that was a children's prison and it'll take us there.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Oh my god, I've got another story.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
My ex husband, too many stories.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
My ex husband's mother, I think, used to take you know,
the the boys Home. We used to buy the tickets
for the house and the competition that was kind of close,
and she would drive him to the gates and go
right get out. You have to scud now, it explains
about you.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
This is the Fitzi and Whipper with Cape Ritchie podcast.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
I love Sir Michael Caine. He is one of the
best actors going around. Now this really disappoints me. He's
coming out of retirement. He's ninety two years of age.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Whip, and he's coming out of retirement.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
So there was an element of me going too old,
mister Kane, maybe just too maybe just you know, hang
it up. Yeah, And you know, the disappointing thing for
me here is he's coming back because I didn't know this,
but he's actually.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Good friends with Vin Diesel.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
What And Vin Diesel is returning with the sequel of
a movie called The Last witch Hunter, which Sir Michael
Caine starred in in the first one, and he's now
coming back and they're going to be doing a sequel
for the movie. And so Michael Kaine's gone. Vin, you're
(15:08):
one of my very good friends. Of course I'll come
back and do the movie for you. He's ninety one,
did you say?
Speaker 4 (15:14):
He's ninety two, Whip, But the time.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
It comes out for the premiere, hees ninety five. And
Vin Diesel is still getting around in some sort of
hotted up charger.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Well, it's the last one, the first movie, The Last
witch Hunter, and only twenty seven million dollars in the
American market. But this is the Vin Diesel fact that
it brought one hundred and twenty million dollars in international revenue,
so all around the world, and I think Asia with
Fast and the Furious in that as well.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
He's massive.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Can he do anything else besides car movies? No, people
get typecast.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Yeah, the last witch Hunter is the big one.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
So have you heard the story of Michael Kane and
the troubles that he's had with his name over the years.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
No, he tells this great story. Ever, Listen, I was.
Speaker 12 (16:05):
Making a picture in the Philippines and I mem Manila
and we were invited to this very very posh, expensive
house to a party. And I'm being introduced to people
and standing and getting a drink and all that, and
the hostess is standing over there and she's looking at
me rather nastily, considering I'm a guest, you know. And
there was a moment when I was a bit free
(16:26):
and she went so I went over her and she said,
are you a drug dealer? I said, no, Why do
you ask? She said, why is everybody calling you my cocaine?
Speaker 7 (16:42):
This is the Fitty and Whipper with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
This is a really interesting story. It's the most sampled
piece of music of all time.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Channel seven have done a little video in the newsroom whip.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
I found this really interesting. Have I listen.
Speaker 7 (16:56):
The most sampled song in history is a song you've
never heard of. You kind of have heard of it though.
It's in a lot of songs. It's in NWA Straight
out of Compton, the Metronic song King the Beat, the
David Bowie song Little Wonder. You know what I mean
by Oasis, Ronnie Size Brown, heavy Bag, MT heavy D,
nice and smooth deep sin D, how black Man feels.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
It's a lot.
Speaker 7 (17:16):
It's also in video games like Grand Theft Auto, and
in TV shows like Futurama and The Powerpuff Girls.
Speaker 10 (17:22):
Get this though.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
It is a six second drum solo from a nineteen
sixty nine song called Amen Brother by a soul group
called the Winstons.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
Now that has been sampled six thousand times in songs
six thousand times.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
It's just a little drum beat.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Yes, but they've used that drum beat in their songs,
so in six thousand different songs.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
It has been used before.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
It's it's from a band called the Winston's, but it's
now known as the Arm in the Arm N Break Right.
And this is what I want to know. If you've
been sampled six thousand times. You've made a fair bit
of coin.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
No they haven't.
Speaker 7 (18:11):
You think the band behind it would be making bank right?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Wrong?
Speaker 7 (18:15):
The band to this day have never been paid royalties.
But in twenty fifteen fans actually stepped in. They created
a crowdfunding campaign and they raised over forty five thousand
Australian dollars for the front man. But unfortunately the drummer
who created that drum part passed away in two thousand
and six.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
So the drummer who made the beat never got any money.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Well can I explain and tell me if I'm wrong here?
Working in the ye old industry, it needs to be
seven seconds that's used for you to receive royalties. So
tactically it sounds like six thousand people have taken six
seconds of the drum beat and.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
You'll be by, isn't that bad?
Speaker 5 (18:56):
But then, but if you repeated drum beat over and over,
you're using more than seven seconds, are you?
Speaker 3 (19:01):
What depends how it goes, Maybe it's still still six
seconds of that bit.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
The only song that I can hear it in is
n WA straight out of Compton.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Played again, Jess.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Straight out of It's a great running beat, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Yeah, so they were.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
They're looping it over and over, so you would have
to pay royalties on that.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Maybe it's because it's just the same bit. It's just
still six seconds of their audio used.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
It's fascinating that the poor guy that came up with
a drum beat died in two thousand and six and died.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Poor Do you know? It's interesting too because for a
long time there was ownership over Happy Birthday? Is that
still the case? So anytime you'd hear a radio station
play Happy Birthday, you would hear them play we always
did it the Stevie Wonder version of Happy Birthday.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
You still got to pay royalties on that though, But.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
There was a there was a a reason you could
get away with it. Tommy, I'm not sure if you
know more. There was a reason you couldn't get away
with this version, but you couldn't play the original on
air because it incurred some sort of fee.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
No, you've still got to pay ryalties to Stevie Wonder
for using this.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
You can't get away with it.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
You could, there was a technicality.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
It was illegal to do that until twenty sixteen, right,
so you can now legally play Happy Birthday on the
radio because it's in the public domain. After the court,
the court said that it's available for everyone. Now that
there's a song for everyone.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
It was also for years and years James Brown didn't
get anything for Field Good and people were using that
in a lot of songs.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
What about the one when we were over in the
South African jungle from a celebrity get Me Out of
Here Fits and we got Anthony Klea to see sing
a jungle version of the prayer.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
You remember that the man had to go to.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
And then they really wanted to use it on the show.
So Channel ten had to try and track down the
people that owned the rights to that song, and there
was four people, so you had to contact four individuals.
One of them was Celine Dion she owned some rights
to it. I think Andre Bacelli had some rights to it.
And two other people maybe the writers of the song.
(21:18):
So they had to get permission from all four because
if you then go ahead and play it without the permission,
or they can just contact you and put whatever fee
they want on it.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Well.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
The other one was The Avalanche, The Great album by
the Avalanches, the Australian They used samples. They made this
amazing album in the year two thousand since I left you,
and then they said this is Everyone said, this is crazy,
it's unbelievable. But then the record company was like, you
understand that you've got so many samples, You've got thousands.
We need to get permission for all of them. And
(21:49):
they went on a mission to get permission.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Oh, it's like if they make a TV show. FITZI
and I hosted a show called twenty one where they
cam down the top twenty I like, anyway, if you
played a YouTube clip or you source the vision from somewhere,
then that needed to be credited or royalty had to
(22:13):
be played. So behind the scenes they'd go, what is
tonight's number one? Well, we don't know because we haven't
got permission to play it. So scraunging around trying to
work out what do you recognize that one we got
permission to play that we do, that's number one.
Speaker 7 (22:27):
This is the fitting in with with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Ross Noble is here.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
He's bringing Cranium Curiosities to It is in Sydney this week,
So go to Rossnoble dot com. Actually, you you had
a day with Kate Ritchie a few years ago. Ross
when you were when you were prospecting at Sovereign Hill,
you had the family there and you ran into Kate Richie.
Speaker 13 (22:45):
Is that correct, That's that's absolutely right. Yeah, I just
happened to be walking around Sovereign Hill. For those of
it's a it's a re enactment of the gold Rush.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Yes, that's the tourism attraction.
Speaker 14 (22:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (22:57):
And I was there with my wife wasn't very well
that day, and so I could not have looked more
like a custody.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Dad not a great one either, because it was like,
this is our one day with Dad and he's brought.
Speaker 13 (23:10):
Us to and again, Yeah, we were walking around and
these guys were broadcasting live from Souvern Hill and they
looked down and saw me and thought I was one
of the re enactors. There's an old prospect in your hands.
Speaker 15 (23:33):
You. Yeah, some humbugs.
Speaker 14 (23:36):
Some had the kid's teeth all smashed. Except besides.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
That day, when you say spending that day, we rang
into each other. And I think it may have even
been the first time I've met you in person, Ross,
but you're making out both of you have now said
that we had it was like we had a you know,
remember that.
Speaker 14 (24:01):
I can't forget it.
Speaker 15 (24:02):
We were dressed as soldiers. We did a bit of musket.
Speaker 14 (24:05):
Work that was nice, and we had I can't believe.
Speaker 13 (24:09):
I can't believe that russ And almost left his wife
and it is now a reenactor.
Speaker 15 (24:15):
It seems strange.
Speaker 13 (24:16):
And then we made old timey sweets. We melted down
some some gold.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
That was.
Speaker 14 (24:24):
Oh good lord, yeah, my goodness.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
What about Can you tell U the story about when
you're making sand castles on the beach.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
And you bum.
Speaker 14 (24:35):
I've told that story so many times.
Speaker 13 (24:37):
Sorry if you if you heard this story a thousand times,
I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Yeah I was.
Speaker 13 (24:42):
I was on a beach and and I always doing
this stupid thing wherever I see somebody that looks a
bit like a celebrity. Oh, hang on, stop, got just
one second on that day, because because these guys were
broadcasting from upstairs and said, oh, just come and join
us on the show.
Speaker 14 (24:57):
Did I talk to you about my friend Sean?
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (25:01):
I can't remember match from Gone.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Together.
Speaker 13 (25:05):
I've got it on the food. No, I've got a pigure.
My friend Sean is your biggest fan, and he saw
you in.
Speaker 15 (25:11):
A pub in London. You're in a pub in London.
And he sounds like and he ran up and he.
Speaker 13 (25:17):
Was okay, got okay, I need a photograph and then
he said, so I've got about ten photographs of you,
assured in apt he needs to.
Speaker 14 (25:31):
Sho oh my god, there's a damp hand with a.
Speaker 15 (25:40):
Yes.
Speaker 13 (25:41):
I was on the beach and so I do this
thing where whenever I see somebody that kind of looks
a bit like a celebrity, I always got now and
my wife forgot who who's spotted? And I did it
once where I said, who is it? It's Ben and
Jerry off the ice cream right and wet. She didn't say,
(26:01):
and then I got distracted. Then we were parted a
couple of days later and she goes, who was it we.
Speaker 15 (26:06):
Saw in the street the other day us?
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Who was?
Speaker 14 (26:09):
And was Ben and Joe an idiot?
Speaker 13 (26:12):
So I do all the time, and she was and
there was this really old bloke coming like properly knackered.
It was probably coming up the beach and he had
like a bit of a spiky haircut, and I went
Rod Stewart and she went, oh, it's being an idiot.
He found an old blok And I genuinely thought it
was just an old look she turned around it was
(26:34):
and she was like what And then so it was
a sort of restaurant and had like a private beach
bit and we were down there and I'm building this
massive sound castle, of course, and it was huge.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
And with children.
Speaker 13 (26:48):
There was children, and there was there was other children
joining in and Rodd and his wife and Rod just look,
he's very youthful for he's an old man. He just
wants to sing and prepare for death.
Speaker 15 (27:01):
That's what that's what he does, right, you know what
I mean, he.
Speaker 13 (27:05):
Doesn't he likes to do a concert as the grim
refer gets ever closer, and he's anyway, So the upshot
was this said his wife went, go on, Rod, help
with the sand castle, and oh and he gets up
and he makes you and we start building this sand
and like she said, oh, do you mind if our
kids join in?
Speaker 14 (27:24):
Well of course not.
Speaker 13 (27:25):
So this sank so that we're building the ramparts and
the bit walls are falling down, and then and then
the sea starts coming in and Rod's going, oh my god.
Speaker 14 (27:34):
We need to build this bit up. The wall's going
to come down.
Speaker 13 (27:37):
And the two of us were digging like dogs, you know,
like like puppies like that, and I was digging away
like that, and and Rod's going quick.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
We're gonna have to be quicker.
Speaker 15 (27:46):
We've got to build the wall up.
Speaker 13 (27:47):
So I said, have you noticed anything right anyway? No
children are no longer involved. And his kids have gone
off to play football. My girls has gone off to
find shells.
Speaker 14 (28:00):
And Roger Stewart and I.
Speaker 15 (28:01):
There was people on the beach going sorry, what what
is going on?
Speaker 13 (28:08):
And also it's that weird thing of like obviously everyone
recognizes Rod Stewart, So it's that thing of like it's
what it's that weird thing of like the people would
have been there just going why is that bloke making
an old man build a sand castle?
Speaker 14 (28:24):
For like what is he doesn't look like it doesn't And.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
I'd be like, do that bit?
Speaker 15 (28:29):
Do that motus?
Speaker 13 (28:30):
Because strictly speaking, I was the foreman of course, so
it was that thing of like Rod was deferring to me.
Speaker 15 (28:37):
So it's this weird thing where he kept going he
was like, should I build this bit up?
Speaker 13 (28:42):
And I'm thinking, Roger, don't have to this this is
like this is a partnership now, and then a thing
would fall off, like Rod that bit there do that
bit and he's like, okay, and it.
Speaker 16 (28:54):
Was just this.
Speaker 15 (28:56):
Elder abuse.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Should we get off now?
Speaker 8 (29:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (29:00):
Well, the weird thing was he kept going just like
his wife was like his wife was like and he went,
you know what, he goes because obviously you know how
he makes like little train he's got.
Speaker 14 (29:15):
And he sort of said something which was.
Speaker 13 (29:16):
Actually quite it was quite moving. Actually just went he went, yeah,
he goes. We never we never had holidays like this
when I was kid. It was literally it was just
literally like, oh my god, I can't believe I'm building it.
Speaker 14 (29:33):
And if his kids hadn't been there, And I genuinely think.
Speaker 13 (29:36):
That's why some people say that he's just a horny
old rock star that just likes to have much younger wives.
But I think he's said I think he secretly longs
for his childhood. Hence things the tiny trains.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Together again, I tried to keep in touch.
Speaker 15 (29:56):
He doesn't return, doesn't return.
Speaker 5 (30:01):
Imagine how his funeral ross the.
Speaker 13 (30:07):
You know what, and there'll be I hope that because
I've got photographs of this, I hope that at the
funeral when they're playing, and they'll just be pictures of
him digging like a dog on all fours scratching. This
is when he was truly happy, like a like a
(30:28):
Sammy yad. Can we just so I know, I know?
Speaker 14 (30:31):
It's what what are you wearing today? Are you wearing
something like? I'm not having to go.

old it's the old football jacket. But it's very old school,
isn't it.
Speaker 14 (30:53):
There's a lot going on there.
Speaker 13 (30:55):
It feels like you're trying to sell me a carpet
in Morocco.
Speaker 15 (31:01):

Speaker 4 (37:05):
Do you know what a lot of people, especially the boomers.
Speaker 5 (37:08):
And the older, the elderly, they like to hold on.
There's a lot of secrets going on and this is
your opportunity.
Speaker 4 (37:13):
Do you I mean you know what?
Speaker 5 (37:16):
You're not going to see him again? Do you reveal
everything before you go? Thirteen twenty four to ten. Is
there a family story of a dead a death bed
confession that everybody talks about in the family?
Speaker 3 (37:28):
Because I do love these your sister.
Speaker 5 (37:31):
I've got a maid of mine whose dad was a surgeon. Right,
played at a footy club going up now in the seventies.
He was dropped for a grand final and they went
on to win the premiership. Now totally shattered, he never
knew why he was dropped. He thought his form was good,
he warranted being in the team, but he never got
an answer.
Speaker 4 (37:51):
His coach.
Speaker 5 (37:52):
A few years ago, my mate was telling me this story.
I find it fascinating. His coach passed away, and a
few of the old boys that he used to coach
which went to go see him and at his deathbed
before he went, and the coach revealed to him on
his deathbed the reason why he dropped him.
Speaker 4 (38:11):
For that grand final.
Speaker 5 (38:13):
Now, the reason why he said, I dropped you is
because you played a part in that prank that was
played on me throughout the year. Now, in the finals,
the star midfielder for the team, Right, the star of
the team, decided to take his family on a snow
trip the week before the grand final. He said, we've
got a week off, right, We've made it through to
(38:34):
the grand Final. I don't have to be here for
the prelim final, so I'm going to take the family
away on a snow trip, and the coach was fuming
because he didn't want him to get injured. It's in
the middle of window. He said, mane, we've got the
Grand Final in two weeks.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
You can't go. He said, no, no, I'll be fine.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
He said, I'll let you go, but please stay off
the slopes as much as you can because I need
you to focus on the Grand Final. Now, everything went well,
he didn't get injured. When he got back, he went
up to his mate, who was my mate's dad, the surgeon,
and he said, let's play a prank on the coach.
Can you go get some plaster of Paris and put
(39:10):
them on my wrists and make out that I've fallen
over skiing and I've broken both my wrists.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
And can't play in the Grand Final.
Speaker 5 (39:19):
Tuesday night at training, everyone's getting ready to go out
for training and the star midfielder rocks up with plaster
of Paris and he's gone up to the coach.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
The coach has nearly had a heart attack. God, we've
lost him. What have you done? Absolutely stuff this.
Speaker 5 (39:35):
The boys have all started laughing, and you know the
story was revealed later that the surgeon helped him out
and did the plaster of Paris. The coach was so
angry that he internally kept this to himself, but he said,
I am so angry that this guy would help out
(39:55):
the star midfielder.
Speaker 4 (39:56):
He dropped him for the Grand.
Speaker 14 (39:57):
Final and never told the story his whole life on
his deathbed.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
On his death.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
You meant to part with your finest words of wisdom
or something of importance, and it's just gone.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
But maybe that was I mean, when it's something that
you've been carrying around.
Speaker 4 (40:16):
Too much, and he just couldn't.
Speaker 5 (40:19):
It just built up longer and longer they went in life.
He just couldn't tell the story, and he couldn't tell.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
The player why he dropped him.
Speaker 5 (40:26):
They all, apparently, all the all the old ex teammates
who got together go see the coach on the deathbed.
They all laughed when they heard the story. And then
the surgeon said so like, I mean, do you regret it?
And the coach went, no, no, because it's just boiled
up inside of me for years and years.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
And the thing was he wasn't actually on his deathbed.
That was a prank in itself. Gabby and Forestville deathbed
Confessions today.
Speaker 8 (40:54):
Hello, So this was an interesting one. My mom and
grandmother got into a go of a fight, and Grandma
was like, well, stuff it, I'm not going to be
around much longer. You and your sister have separate fathers.
Speaker 4 (41:11):
What this is on her deathbed gap?
Speaker 8 (41:15):
Well, I think she so much longer. Twenty years later,
she's still going now. But at the time she thought, well,
I need to say it. That seemed to be the
appropriate moment. While she was engaged to my grandfather she
had an affair.
Speaker 4 (41:27):
Oh did did it? Did it? Did it rip the
family apart? Gammy?
Speaker 8 (41:33):
I think it was actually really sad that my granddad
did act differently was my auntie? After that she did
actually get to know her real father. But yeah, it
was it was a big shock for the family to honest.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
Did that mean that dad didn't realize that until that
moment as well?
Speaker 8 (41:51):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
Oh yeah he knew either.
Speaker 3 (41:56):
I mean, that's another great topic, Tommy. When was it
a deathbed concession? But then you recovered and have to
live with a consequences.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
That makes me so nervous. I worry about losing my
mind on my deathbed, and I think about all the
things I would never tell anyone and they come to
God that you have some K pop demon hunters, and
it would be about, you know, like I planted the
Yellow Chilups and wish I'd planted the pink.
