Speaker 1 (00:10):
I heard podcasts here more mixed one or two point
three podcasts, playlists and listen live on the free iHeart app.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
I want to talk about Adelaide record holders. Do you
have a record, maybe it's still back in school, whatever
it is, have you got something you're.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Like, I was the best at that. I won that record.
Now's your time to show off because it happened to
me a couple.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
Of days ago.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
School holidays start on Friday, and so everyone's obviously looking
for things to do in the school holidays. My kids
are obsessed with this place in the city. It's called
fun Lab. It's wild, it's crazy. It's like a wonderland
for kids like games, and yeah, you would absolutely love it.

Speaker 4 (00:47):
It's right up your alley.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
I could take you and my boys and you could
just play together in the arcade. I'd go and have
a little bag of chips or something in the corner.
So in the arcade game. In the arcade area, they've
got all different arcade games. And my son, my thirteen year.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
Old, is very tall.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
He is just you know, developed quite early, and he's
a real man.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
Long, got broad shoulders, strong, but.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
Doesn't realize it. He's like the BFG. He's my little baby.
I still see him as my baby, but he's a
full man. Anyway, there's this thing there where.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
You box the boxing arcade game, you know, where you like,
go bang and you hit it as as hard as you.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
Can, that little punching bag that hangs down.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Yeah, and then it goes and then it comes out
with a number.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
What does it do?

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:30):
I know the game that one? Yeah, I know the one.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
So anyway, I'm off with the other two kids, and
then Austin comes over to me because he's quite shy,
and he's.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Like, oh, mom, I think I just I think I
just broke the record. And I'm like what.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
And I went over there and obviously I made a
massive deal about it. But the previous record was nine
hundred and forty four.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
He got nine hundred and fifty three. He broke the record.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
Yeah, boy, yes, your son, bunches, I know. Is that
a good thing.

Speaker 5 (01:57):
That's a great I've seen massive bodybuilders do this thing.
I think it might just be the daily No.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
No, I know.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
It is the all time record.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Really, and if you're listening to this new you can
take your kids to fun Lab see if you can
beat it.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
In the whole. That's huge.

Speaker 6 (02:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
I was really proud of him. I was like, that's
a really big deal.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
Is he proud? Does he care? Or is it his
water off a duck's back.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
No, I'm probably more proud, but still it's a pretty
good fleck.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
My son can punch. Okay, yeah, thirty one h two
three one. To hear your records, I'll give you one.
I in year ten had a Nokier eighty three to
ten or something, one of those little Nokia phones, and
I had a game on it called City Blocks or
Tower Blocks, depending on what app store you downloaded it from.
All it was was a tower with a crane hanging

(02:38):
above it, and the crane would swing back and forth
and you had to drop each floor of the tower
on top of the next one at the right time,
and if you did it too much to the side,
the tower would bend and fall over. Eventually, I played
that so much in year ten English with mister Brohn
because he was boring to me, that I got to
a level that no one else in the school had beaten.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
And we started going online.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
And this is two thousand and eight, we're just sort
of starting to get through the online forums. I could
not find a score anywhere in the world that was
higher than what I did on my knock tower.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
What's the square? Do you remember?

Speaker 1 (03:14):
You?

Speaker 4 (03:15):
Just remember?

Speaker 1 (03:16):
I remember that I was in space at one point.
You get to a point where you're above the skyline
and then you're just above the planes and then you're
up there with uranus and no one. I had never
seen it before. So, Haley, I am still claiming the
world record as the tower block's best builder ever.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
All right, I love this.

Speaker 4 (03:35):
That's your flex.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
My son's flex is he brought the record of fun Lab.
What's yours to do this?

Speaker 2 (03:39):
But before we do that, we're talking about Adelaide record
holders after so proud of my son Austin. A couple
of days ago we at that place in the city
called fun Lab. It's about to be school holiday's kids
love that place anyway, Okay, Yeah, there's an arcade area
where he's got the boxing arcade game and went bang
and punched it and went and broke the record.

is one hundred percent Mike Tyson, have bit your ear off? Yeah,
he would never do that. No, So we're talking about
Adelaide record holders. Mandy in her what record do you hold?

Speaker 7 (04:11):

but it's exciting for me. I have the year eight
fifty meter freestyle record and it can never ever be
broken because my school doesn't exist.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
Yes, Mandy, what school was?

Speaker 7 (04:29):

will never beat this, Haley.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
Yeah, that's outstanding. I love that.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
My husband's the same in flexes because he owns has
the javelin record at Mercedes where he went still and
he's like he was born in nineteen seventy seven, so
it was a long time ago.

Speaker 5 (05:08):

the current winning number is five minutes and fifteen seconds.

at least. Yeah, that's how we're after.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
We have a couple in They are here, they are
ready to go. They love each other, and they're going
to see if they can break down record.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
You're very uncomfortable and.

Speaker 5 (05:48):
Nicole are about to kiss for over five minutes on
mix Haley Pierson, could you do this?

Speaker 4 (05:51):
Could you kiss your husband for over five minutes? I?

Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yes, I say yes, But also no, I wouldn't be
able to breathe. I'd have to come up for air.
I need a smart or something.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
All right, this has been like the show off Hotline
at the moment, people bragging about the records that they
have After my son. I've told you my son Austin
thirteen were fun lab in the city where lots of
kids go in the school holidays, and he did the
punching bag and he punched it so high he doesn't
realize his strength and wreck got the.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Record, broke the record on that the record. He might
be the strongest man in the world.

Speaker 6 (06:22):
I think.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
So you've all been calling us with your records, what
you're the best at in the world. We thought, hey,
we're a radio show, we'd like to break a record
live on air, and one that we have come up with.
We've seen a record. We haven't found a longer version
of this. In twenty fifteen, an Australian radio show did
a longest kiss on the radio and it went.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
For five minutes and fifteen seconds. It's a long kiss.
It's a long kiss.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
Without coming up for air.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
That's longer than most of the songs that we play. Yeah,
we thought we could beat that. That's an easy one
to beat.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
Yeah, And I mean, how good would it feel to
beat that?

Speaker 4 (06:56):
It would feel good.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Now Hayley and I are both happily married, not to
each other, so we're not going to break the record.
Chad and Nicole from Modbury have come into the studio.
Chad and Nicole are engaged. They've been together for six years.
Hello both of.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
You, Good morning, good morning, good morning.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Okay, let's talk about you your kissing antics.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
First of all, do you remember the first kiss you
guys had? The first kiss we went to go have
was spoilt by a mate of ours. He was drunk,
but yes, what did he do?

Speaker 4 (07:24):
What did the mate do?

Speaker 2 (07:25):
I realized that we'd snuck off for our first kiss
and come down a ramp going what.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Are you guys doing?

Speaker 6 (07:32):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (07:33):
How annoying?

Speaker 4 (07:34):
What a mate? But it was your mate, wasn't it? Chad?

Speaker 6 (07:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Well you know what, he's not allowed in here. Okay,
So for this kiss, I need to know types of kisses.
Is there one of you that sort of takes the
lead usually who's the dominant kiss?

Speaker 4 (07:49):
Yeah? Chad?

Speaker 3 (07:50):
What's your technique? Chad? Are you like close mouth kiss
or do you like to mix it up?

Speaker 4 (07:56):
Mix it up? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (07:58):
And are you open to that? Nicole? I'll take anything?

Speaker 4 (08:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Can I ask something that I think stops in relationships
is when you know when you first together, it's something
to kiss all the time. But then it becomes you
kiss when you're you knowing intimate?

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Do you do like do you sit on the couch
and just pash?

Speaker 6 (08:15):
Yeah? We do.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
And we've got this rule that her daughter doesn't like
it too much.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
No, neither, it's your son. Why do you do it?

Speaker 4 (08:21):
What of the kids?

Speaker 8 (08:23):
Her daughter is thirty next year and she lives. That's
so whenever whenever we're sort of you know, kissing and
things like that, she gets all grossed out.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
His seventeen year old son.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah, for this kiss attempt this morning, this record we're
trying to break. I'd love to know what toothpaste you
both use? And have we brushed our teeth for how long?

Speaker 4 (08:44):
This morning?

Speaker 3 (08:45):
We have brushed our teeth? Actually, I've had a coffee,
so he'll.

Speaker 8 (08:48):
Have to deal with that, and I've had a banana
bread for breakfast, so it's a balanced.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Couldn't at least brush your tea?

Speaker 5 (08:57):
Have you guys practiced it all? Because you're gonna have
to breathe out of your nose a lot. Is there
any practice before you came in?

Speaker 4 (09:02):
No? No, not really, they're just going to wait.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
I'm just to get out there.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
I couldn't do what you're doing I couldn't last for
five minutes straight, just pashing.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
It's a long time.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
I'd love my husband so much, but it's a long pash,
very long, very long. We've got this, okay, it's like
we first started dating. Oh, this is very cute and
uncomfortable because we're just sitting next to you while this happens.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
We'll just sit and watch.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Okay, we're gonna have to sit and watch for at
least five minutes and sixteen seconds so we can break
the record.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
Do we start now? Who's in the start? All right,
let's count again? Three?

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Two?

Speaker 4 (09:42):

basedly got their headphones on. They could have taken that off.
I would have been all right with the headphones going off.
Chad is trying not to laugh, which is kind of
making the call. It's okay, and you know what, so far,
we haven't got any tongue. It's nice.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
