Speaker 1 (00:01):
Adelaide's fun breakfast show, Max andale in the Morning.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Look, I love a good maximally in the morning Rescue.
Here's one right.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Now, three from Maxinalely to the rescue. Yep.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
We've been asking you basically if you need a hand
or if you know someone that does, and lots of
people have been getting to mix one or two to
three dot com dot au. And one of those people
that actually said, yeah, you know what, I need a
little bit of help. Here is Nicole and she's with
us now. Good morning Nicole, Good morning guys.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
Tell us your story.
Speaker 6 (00:32):
So first and foremost, I'm a mum of four beautiful girls,
a wife, also studying to be a nurse.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Yeah, what's studying to be a nurse like?
Speaker 6 (00:41):
Going back to studying has been a massive jump. It's hard,
especially when you've got work in kids and just life
in general.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
What made you want to study there? With all everything
else that's going on.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
So I've always wanted to be a nurse, and then,
unfortunately a few years ago, my husband suffered a massive
heart attack and they gave us all a huge reality
shock that not only his life too short, but if
there's something that you want, then go out and get it.
And I just want to show my girls you're never
too old reach for your dreams.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Sometimes when something like that would happen, it would say, right, O,
life's too short. I'm going to go to Hawaiian study.
But you you want to be a nurse? What do
you love about it?
Speaker 6 (01:27):
I just think that it's an absolute privilege to stand
there and help someone or hold their hand or be
there for them and do what you can for them.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
Your husband, Morris is okay, now he is.
Speaker 6 (01:39):
You know, it's taken a while, so he had about
eight or nine months off work. So obviously during that
time we chewed through quite a bit of savings and
we made lots of sacrifices. You know, my kids have
had to make sacrifices for me. My husband has made
sacrifices for me. It's extremely hard with children, with life,
(02:00):
with everything to try and you know, fiddle that in.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
How do kids go with that? They're making sacrifices. As
a kid, you just you want the things, but at
the same time, you want to show them they can
achieve their dreams and do everything that they can, and
that's what you're trying to show them. But they're still
having to make these sacrifices.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
On the side, my two older girls obviously understand a
lot more, but it's hard. I think maybe the two
younger ones probably don't quite understand it. You know, you're
trying to explain that Mom can't go here or Mum
can't do this because mum's got an assignment Juell and
I think probably over the last twelve months, they've started
to get used to it a bit more, you know,
and understand there's other people out there who are making
(02:39):
far more sacrifices than what I am, and you know,
are doing it a lot harder than what I am.
I'm just lucky that I have an extremely understanding husband
most of the time.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Well, we actually have a little bit of surprise for
you. You don't know this has happened, but that beautiful understanding
husband of yours got your four girls, your sixteen year old,
twelve year olds, he had a ten year old either
and seven year old little Lana, got them together to
have a chat about what it is that you're doing
and what it means to them.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
What is Mom's dream and why to be a nurse
at the Women's and Children's hospital. She's always wanted to
do that ever since she was a little kid.
Speaker 7 (03:17):
Why is Mum an inspiration to you?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Cause she nice and she cares for other people. She's
always working hard to look after my sisters and I.
She also inspires me to do my best and never
give up.
Speaker 7 (03:30):
What would you want to spoil Mom with that she
doesn't do for herself?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
The holiday where she gets to relax the whole time.
What would it mean to Mom to go to the laptop.
It would mean a look because she really went to
mac book. She would stop stressing over her assignments getting lost.
I'm very proud of Mom. She has given up a
lot of her time to study and work whilst also
caring for us at home. I'm really happy for Mommy
(03:55):
to be amen. Why is Mom the best mom in
the world Because she always makes me laugh, She always
does her best and everything.
Speaker 8 (04:04):
And she makes me happy when I'm feeling sad.
Speaker 9 (04:06):
I wanted to say to Mom that I love her
so much and I don't tell her enough. How proud
I am of her everything she does for our family.
She's a real supermum to be able to work full time,
study and look after us all.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Oh don't you damn cry, I'm going to thank you.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Okay, I think a lot of us can probably relate
to us not telling our mums enough.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Must be nice to hear it is very nice to
hear one of them mentioned in this laptop and tell
us a little bit about what happened.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
When I first started studying. Obviously, a laptop is a requirement.
We just didn't have the spare funds for me to
get a laptop. So my dad stepped in and ever
so kindly brought me a secondhand laptop.
Speaker 7 (04:52):
You know, without I didn't even ask him.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
I just was one day having conversation with him about
studying and needing.
Speaker 7 (04:57):
A laptop, and yeah, so he brought me this second
hand laptop.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
And the joke in my nursing class is it's nicknamed
the Dinosaur.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
It is quite an old laptop.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
But I think it was going to get the job.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
I was and I was confident. I was like, yeah,
it's going to it's gonna last. But unfortunately, the other
night I was sitting there finishing my eight case studies
that I had to do, and so it, yeah, it
just died the black screen of death. And you know,
we tried to charge it. We tried to do everything,
but unfortunately it's yeah, it's gone and that's it. So
(05:33):
and along with it went my last twelve months of
study because Sillimi didn't think to save it.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
In what she wrote to us, you said, I'm so
as shamed that at my age I couldn't afford to
purchase a new one, and that my dad still needed
to help me. We're not going back to dad. We
need to get this laptop sorted, don't we. We do, well, Nicole,
if it's all right, you can stick around. We might
have someone that might be able to help you out next.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
Oh my god, guys, that will be so amazing.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Okay, well I said they might just come and we'll see.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Right the meantime, have the tissues handies. We do part
two of this maximally rescue for Nicole.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
So Nicole's dream is to become a nurse. Now, everything
was going well until the laptop that your dad bought
for you crashed and died, and so now you don't
have that anymore.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
That's right, just running Windows two thousand and seven.
Speaker 7 (06:23):
It was running.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
It was the most advanced program and I'm.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
All right, Well, the good news is listening to all
of this has been a very good mate of us
here at Mixed one or two point three. His name
is Rob, but we always call him Rob from one
eight hundred Got junk, go find inger, Robus, what are
you just ringing up? Because you know you guys take
anything there, You're going to take her laptop.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
You look at the laptop.
Speaker 10 (06:50):
We can certainly help with the listening to the story
just this morning. It resonates will me on so many levels.
I certainly how they are now and never movement myself
when I turned forty and I bought a tope business
to be funny. And also you know, we've just as
a family spent a fevol of time around the hospitals
in the emergency departments and working with the nurses and
(07:10):
so on, and without these awesome people, we are in
massive trouble. So we had a bit of a chatter
around the round the table, and we'd love to come
to the party and grab a new laptop for Nicole.
You know, we we think what she's doing is super
super special, not only for our family and what she's
doing for herself, but also for the community, for all
of us.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Oh, Rob, I can tell you when you said, well,
your sort of laptop. Just you just took a big
deep breath in then, didn't you, nicoll I did.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
I did.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
I can't even find the words to thank you enough.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
And yeah, from.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
Once in my life, I'm speechless.
Speaker 10 (07:46):
We'd really love to help out to see how uner
stuffed hospitals are and to see someone wanted to come
through and help that situation and essentially help all of us,
you know, like, well, you're a very special person.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Thank you so much, and as are you Roll. We
love you and the entire team. You get them over
that table anytime you can, if you're listening, you always
come to the party to help out. So look if
there's any way that you can help. Rob, who's such
a brilliant supporter of our community. One eight hundred got
junk Rob, Thank you so much, Buddy.
Speaker 11 (08:14):
Low worries at all.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
We love to talk.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
The laptop's good. The laptop was needed, We needed the laptop.
We are so happy we could help you with that, Nicole.
But you are doing more than just work. You are
looking after a family, looking after yourself, trying to look
after all of us by studying to become a nurse.
Hopefully we never need you, but we just think that
maybe there's a little bit more that we could assist with.
(08:38):
Don't you reckon ally?
Speaker 10 (08:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Who doesn't love a good maximally you rescue? Well, this
is the one for Nicole, the mum of four whose
husband had a heart attack a few years ago. Thankfully
he's okay, but it was a bit of a reality
check for Nicole and the whole family for that matter,
and so it caused Nicole to actually take up a
career in nursing, which is currently studying.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
But due to money.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Shoes, she had a pretty basic laptop and unfortunately, almost
twelve months of work disappeared after the laptop died. So
Max Neelly came to the rescue and got her a
new laptop.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
But wait, there's more. When's the last time you guys
have been on a holiday do you think?
Speaker 6 (09:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (09:16):
Years ago?
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Yeah, long enough for you to go.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Last weekend.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
So we thought that might be the case. So I
put in a phone call to our friends down at
West Beach Park. So they're going to come on board
and give you guys a weekend away because we know
that you're in amongst the study. We know that the
time is really poor, but you guys can get away
to them for an entire weekend and one of their
awesome cabins. It's worth eight hundred and fifty bucks. And
you said in there that you don't have to stress
(09:41):
or do anything. You don't. These kids can just take
over the park. They've got jumpy pillows, they even have
gin tastings at times. Check it out.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
All you have to worry about is when they fall
off their bicks and get scratches on their elbows, which
I think you're going to handle.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
And then I thought, well, because you're a West Beach park,
you know it's just down the road Harbortown. So rang
the team at Harbortown and they want to give you
guys a five hundred dollars shopping boucher.
Speaker 7 (10:06):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
You can go and get new school shoes, running shoes,
you can get sheets, whatever it is.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Just treat yourself.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
You can go there and treat yourself. Yeah, the kids
will be fine. Yeah, spend it on yourselfish.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Absolutely fine.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
So we have to give a massive thanks to the
team out there. Because they're Essay's largest premium outlet shopping destinations,
over one hundred and twenty stores. You're gonna be able
to go and check out.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
My god, maybe I'll leave the kids at there. Yeah,
Morris and I agree.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
I didn't want to say that out loud on tape.
You've come to that.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Also, why don't you go and pampy yourself? Because Ali,
in her hurricane of calling every single business and Adelac
yesterday spoke to Clip Joint Hair Salon. They've come on board.
They're going to give you a color and they're going
to spoil you at one of their awesome salons in
three locations, Burnside, Rundle Street and Melbourne Street.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
Oh my god, I've forgotten the last time that have
actually been and had my hair cut or you know. Unfortunately,
in the sacrifice of those sorts of things, you know,
we just didn't have the money she'd be able for
me to go do that. So I was doing that
at home, the at home hair dye jobs.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
And Dasa didn't want to say anything. But it takes
one to know one me too, but I know like
that is the first thing that goes right. Never if
you have any amount of time or money, it is
never going on yourself. He goes to the kids, to
your family. I rang Nicole. I met her at the
tennis and she gave me a card. Big misnake, Nicole said,
big mistake. Mada hair and all the clip joints salons.
(11:33):
They're ready to look after you and they do such
a beautiful job.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
That is so amazing. Guys, I can't thank you enough.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
Stop at the carle because we're not done yet.
Speaker 12 (11:40):
Oh my god.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
So while you're looking good, you may as well feel good.
So you know, as a nurse, you're on your feet
all day, right, you're walking around shoes. You gotta have
some good shoes and you're on your feet.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
You possibly say this without sounding like he doesn't know
what he's talking about, because these are the most comfortable
shoes and I wear them all time. They're Frankie four shoes.
They are done by podiatrists and they have decided to
give you, guys a five hundred dollar about you or you.
So once you get into nursing, you can go and
get yourself the most comfortable treads around. They'll fit them.
(12:13):
They'll do all that you've got it. It's their gorgeous
shoes too, so they're not just the ones that you've
got to wear to work. Trust me.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Yeah, Oh my god, look good, feel good, Nikole.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
Absolutely, that's a massive Yeah, that's help. Thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
All Right, fine, we're done.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
No, we're definitely not done. Okay with that Frankie four stuff.
You'll actually go to Hide Park, their concept store, and
they'll sit and give you this personalized fitting experience as well,
and then we get to you and your hobby.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Yeah, you guys need to spend some time to get
after all of this. To be looking good, you gotta
be feeling It's about time. The two of you just
had a bit of time to sit down and go
over everything that you've been through. What we have organized
for you is a lovely dinner at one of the
premier restaurants in South Australia, probably in astral.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Probably the world universe, I'd say probably the world.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
We're going to send you down to Star of Greece
overlooking Port wa Langa Beach and you can spend some
time together as husband and wife. That is all thanks
to Nicky and Doug gob that's amazing.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
Oh, thank you guys. We'd never get time just for
the two of us. He comes home from work and
I leave for work.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
So you like ships the past especially, Yeah, and Nicky
and Doug govern their mates of mine and Nickers will
look after you. The only deal is that you're not
allowed to talk about the kids. Deal.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Yeah, absolutely, Nicole. You wrote you're a very original submission
to us. You said right at the end, I'm sure
there are others with far more pressing needs than mine.
Right now, I just need a win. So if you
are still reading, thank you cheers from one stressed out, tired, cranky, forty.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Something mum, student and wife.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
And it resonated with us, and it has resonated with
all of Adelaide, and we are so happy that we
could do just something for a superwoman like you.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Thank you, guys. This is just amazing. This is just
made my year, my everything. I actually didn't expect to
even you know, make the cut. I actually had to
borrow my daughter's school latter to even send in the application.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Well, look, we're just so happy for you. I'm very
very proud of you. We know that in what less
than a year's time, you were going to be there
changing people's lives and supporting them like you were supported
two years ago when Morris went through that heart attack
and gave you, guys, the scare of your Life's curssed.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Right, now there's a job where all you have to
do is get people's confessions from them just as they're
about to pass away. Interesting gig.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
We've been talking about deathbed confessionals, or things you found
out after someone died. I found a fantastic story in
the States about a family that had no idea that
the father was a fugitive bank robber, and he told
them just as he was about to pass away from
lung cancer, and they were all stunned. They had no idea.
The police could never find him. So that's what we've
(15:12):
been asking the people of Adelaide.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Well, now we've actually got someone whose job it is
to be able to get the confessions out of people
just before they die. His name is Bill Edgar. He's
known as the Coffin Confessor.
Speaker 11 (15:23):
Good morning Bill, Good morning Bill.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
This is such an interesting line of work that you're in.
I mean, how do you describe it When someone says,
what do you do?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Bill?
Speaker 11 (15:32):
Well, I told them that I crashed funerals on behalf
of the deceased, telling those that we loved how much.
So I love to notice that my clients love to
hate to air f off.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Oh my god, Bill, do you do while people are
alive still. So how does it work, Bill? You go
to somebody who is going to pass away, or you
go to someone before clearly they do, and what they
tell you all their deep dark secrets.
Speaker 11 (15:58):
Yeah so, I mean gazed by the decease before they
pass obviously, and they tell me all their secrets, their desires,
their fantasies. Anything that they left unsaid that they once
said at their funeral may head to the vultures in
the families as well, those that will attend the funeral
for themselves and not actually for the decease.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
H yeah, yeah, yeah, So what sort of stuff Bill.
Speaker 11 (16:18):
There's been the extra man of affair. There's been the
disclosure of the best mate trying to screw another bloke's
wife while he's on his deathbed. And there's the odd
one where the ladies actually passed away and left a
revealing confession to a boyfriend or husband that the children
they have together aren't actually his.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
So in that scenario, do you honestly go not to
the funeral, but you go to them and say, hey,
just so you know, go and get a paternity test
as such.
Speaker 11 (16:50):
No, it's not about them for me, it's about the
clients who's laying in the coffin side, no care or
concern for those left behind, and I just let rip
at the funeral or at the wake or a face
to face. It's totally up to my client.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
How did that person react, though.
Speaker 11 (17:05):
I think he sort of knew, to be honest with you.
And the good part about that is the children were
told before she died, and it was a very toxic relationship,
so she got her revenge in the end. He was
a really bad type of person. So that's what I
mean by I have that care concern for the bulxes
or those that hurt others.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
Have you been given instructions to get up at a
funeral and say this in the service or is it
all done behind closed doors and you find the person
and you let them know.
Speaker 11 (17:34):
No both. I mean, I'll go the funeral absolutely and
just stand up in the middle of the funeral, depending
on my client's wishes. I mean Graham, my first client,
he asked me to stand up while his best mates
performing the eulogy and telling him to sit down and
shut up for f off because the man in the
coffin's got something to say.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
Oh no, why?
Speaker 4 (17:52):
And then what did he.
Speaker 11 (17:53):
Say he was the one that had his best mates
on a scur his wife, but he also had three
relatives at the funeral, and he said, if they turn enough,
can you please ask him to leave. I haven't seen
him in thirty years, so why are they there now
paying their respects?
Speaker 4 (18:06):
So, Bill, this is absolutely astounding.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
You've got to have some stones, Bill, to get up
at a funeral.
Speaker 11 (18:13):
Well, you know what, I thought the same too at
the start. But once you meet these people that are
dying and you listen to their stories, and it's just
some of them are so devastating, while some of them
are very loving and funny. I mean, and it's across
the board. I mean, I do good bed, funny and sad.
So I mean there's some hilarious ones, but there's also
some that you think, okay, I could do that. You know,
(18:33):
I have to prepare myself too.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Of course, you know, the morning of their funeral, when
you're getting out of bed and you're putting his shoes
on and your tie and like so whatever it is,
knowing you're about to walk in and blow apart some
people's lives, I mean, that must just be Oh, you'd
have to have butterflies regardless.
Speaker 11 (18:51):
Oh yes, I rehearse, and I rehearse, and as much
as I rehearse, it doesn't matter. You're still Yeah, you've
got the butterflies and you got the sweat. And a
certain time that my client told me to stand up
and even at a face to face before I knock
on somebody's door and reveal a deep secret to a
person face to face that you know, I've got to
be very careful. I mean, at the same time a
(19:12):
message that been delivered and I could all know that
it's going to be said.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
And done maximally earlier. Talking to someone with an interesting gig.
Bill Edgar is his name. He is known as the
Coffin Confessor. So yep, it's his job to get confessions
out of people just as they're about to leave this earth.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Here's some examples.
Speaker 11 (19:32):
Delivering a message to a lady whose friends had passed
and they were friends for over fifty years, and the
message was that she was madly in love with her
best friend. She would have loved to have an affair
and been with us alife. And the sad part of
that is that the receiver actually told me exactly the
same thing. But they couldn't get together. They were too
embarrassed and too scared about doing.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
It being gay. And oh, I've just got goosebumps.
Speaker 11 (19:57):
Oh, very sad because they couldn't live the way they
really wanted to live. And it's so sad that they
were friends for that long and they couldn't disclose that
to each other.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
And what about Bill, what's one of the confessions that
you've had to deliver that you were most worried about delivering.
Speaker 11 (20:13):
I wouldn't say it was a messive. It was an act.
I had to do it a viewing, so I had
to attend the viewing of a body and pin trick
the body system. Man was petrified at being cremated.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
Alive to check he was actually dead.
Speaker 7 (20:29):
He was really dead.
Speaker 11 (20:30):
That was his request and that's what he wanted. He said,
treat my body as a pin cushion and please make
sure I'm dead, you know. And that was he had
a fear. And since then many people have come forward
and saying, look, I don't want to be buried alive.
Please put my mobile phone with me, or pin prick
my body or do something.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Oh, Phil, how do you possibly go up in front
of a room full of people and surreptitiously pin pricks someone.
Speaker 11 (20:54):
I asked for a private during for two minutes.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Okay, thank god for that. I can imagine Mom and
Dad seeing they go, who is this guy? Pushion?
Speaker 7 (21:05):
And Bill?
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Have you ever had someone confess to you something that
they had done in life that was illegal?
Speaker 11 (21:11):
So I've got a few confessions now from prisoners, people
still serving time. I have one here that's in an envelope.
I can't open the envelope because it's a crime that
if I know about, I've got to report. So I
will only know about it at the time of his funeral.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
Given that instruction, don't open this or else you'll be implicated.
Speaker 11 (21:30):
Well, that was my litigated instructions. My lawyers said, look,
you know he's best writing it down and posting it
to you. That way, you don't know what it is.
You don't have to report it until the day of
this funeral.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
And then if it is something that is legal or
the police should know about, you do go and tell
the police.
Speaker 11 (21:46):
Absolutely, but I dare say most of the mornings to
do that.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Anyway, Hey, Bill, thank you so much. Fascinating. Look, I
can talk to you forever. In a day but really
appreciate your time.
Speaker 11 (21:54):
Mate, No problem, but all take care of guys.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Let's talk gen z lingo.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
I'm not here to say that you are old or
I am young, but we have an age gap is
a diplomatic way of saying it. So I'm maybe closer
to the slang without being fully enveloped. Right, Okay, so
I can assist you, thank you with a few of them.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Awesome.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
So have your children come home and maybe pulled out
the word drip?
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (22:21):
Do you know what the word drip?
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Well? I just presumed it was what we used to
say and had the same meaning as the old fashion
in the olden days, like when I grew up, Like
you're a drip man, Like you're drip. Yeah, you're a drip.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
What's a drip? Is that a bad thing?
Speaker 4 (22:33):
It's a bad thing. It's like you're a drip. You
just no one, You're just like n mate.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Drip's good, it's good. Flip your scrip. If you've got drip,
you look good. You got some swagger, Like check out
the drip on alley?
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Where does that come from the internet?
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Probably? Mate, But you just go with it a game,
you don't.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Someone has just plucked out a stupid word and gone, oh,
we're going to make this into a cool word. All right,
do you know what you look like? You're so Fridge?
Speaker 5 (22:57):
No, shut up. You don't you get to make up
slag the drip isn't You don't get to make up
saying all right, what about? Have you heard anyone say
that's cap or that's not cap?
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Capital?
Speaker 5 (23:08):
Nope, cap like a hat. But they say when you
say that's CAP, it means that's fake, that's false. What
you've said is a lie. Okay, So Taylor Swift in
if you said to me Taylor Swifts and Adelaie, I'm like, no,
that's cap.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Al as opposed to no, she's not. But anyway, No,
that's fine, that's cap okay.

you're all that, You're right.
Speaker 7 (24:00):

Speaker 5 (24:05):
Example I have written down here from producer Luke, who
is fully in this film. So did you see Max's
new Instagram post? He ate in it?
Speaker 4 (24:12):
That is that is an abomination against the English language.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
Look, mate, the zeroferee. Let's go to Alicia in Aberfoyle Park. Alisha,

You might know this one.
Speaker 12 (25:11):
The word is bustin'.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Bustin' Well, I've heard that, but I'm presumed it's because
they like catching public transport?
Speaker 5 (25:20):
Mate, would you please.
Speaker 11 (25:23):
Do Apparently it means good like excellent, great shick.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
It's bustin'.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
It's busting cheve on.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
One thing I've noticed of all of you parents ringing through,
which is exactly what I do. We always go you know, well,
what does it mean?
Speaker 5 (25:37):
Well, apparently.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
From what I gather.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
Yeah, So anyway, Ali oh from five and you need

Speaker 2 (25:51):
Check out A Day on the Green on Sunday at
Peter Lehman Warren's How's this for a lineup? Boy and Bear,
Mark Seymour and the Undertow of course Mark from the
Hunters and Vicka and Linda, and headlined by the guy
behind this song.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
And this song.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
And this song.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
This is of course the great Chris.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Isaac, and he caught up with Max Nowy in the morning.
Here's part one.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
The s was the theme song where she rides through
the radio Warner Wave. Ali, Ali, it should be Ali
Clark Clark, Ali Clark Clark.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
But you do not know how much joy you have
just given me, because I've been banging on about you,
Chris Isaac, ever since we were allowed to know that
we were going to speak to you. I reckon, I've
seen you every time you've come here and I have
seen everything from your pink mirrored suit to your all
of your costumes, and I reckon one of my all
time favorite moments, not just your iconic voice, would possibly
(26:57):
be when you were swat Commander in Silence of the Lamb.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
You a fan la by chance? I just saw that.
I turn on the TV when I work out or
when I flost my teeth, and that's about it. And
I turned on the TV and it was right on
the part of Silence of the Lambs where I'm in
the elevator on the squad and I went, wow, oh
my god, I haven't seen that, you know, forty years
ago or something.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Well, we haven't seen you down here for about it.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
Ease.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
What have you been busy doing? Was it something we said?
Speaker 3 (27:28):
No, it was the pandemic. It kind of knocked me
out of my schedule. I was planning on being back
much sooner. I feel like I'm overdue.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Yes, very very object.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Have you got some happy memories of Australia some way
you always like coming.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
I love Australia. If I had to pick someplace to
live and it was outside the United States, I'd pick
Australia because I get along with the people. I'm from California,
and I feel like Australians are kind of very California, Like,
you know, they're kind of laid back and straightforward. I
used to think, oh, I'm from California. The beaches here
the best. Then I went to Australia, I came back
(28:02):
to California. I went, guys, they got this beat.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
Hey, we also like having a crack at the wine too,
and maybe trying to beat you in the wine because
you're gonna be playing at Pete Layman's up in the
Barossa Valley, which is awesome.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
When there's good wine around. People love to be near
me because I don't.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
Do'n drink.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Well, i'll take you out then, Chris Isaac, Well, I'm
happy to you.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
Said.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Years ago, I had Lisa Marie Presley, God bless her.
She was opening for me on the first time that
she went out and played. She opened for me, and
she was scared to death, and she said, I want
to invite you to lunch. And we went to lunch
and she ordered this bottle of wine and she said,
you must try this bottle of wine. And somebody said,
it's like two thousand dollars a bottle, Chris, and I said, Lisa,
(28:49):
given that to me, it's like giving a steak to
a monkey. I said, I that's wasted on me. I
don't drink, you know, give me an orange soda.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
Now, I want to know how someone who is a
rock star, movie star, how do you go through life
being a bachelor. There must be so many people out
there for you crease.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Oh my god, I think it sounds right. At times.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
It was not something I'm proud of, and I wouldn't
recommend it. I have to say, you know, looking back
at my life, that's probably one of the things that
I go I wish I had that part of my
life a little more filled out. As the way things
unfolded in my life, it was, you know, I did
a record, then I did another record, then I did
a movie, then I did a tour. Then I did
a record and a tour and a movie, and before
(29:33):
I knew it, one day I looked in the mirror
and I went, oh, my god, you know, it's been
forty years ago a bit.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
Were there any that got away?
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Yes, there are people who have been you know, I've
known some fantastic people. But I really think what got
in the way was it's hard to have a relationship
when you're I think, I love you, Yvonne, but I
have to be to train in thirty minutes.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
What is it about touring then that keeps pulling me back?
Speaker 3 (30:00):
I love singing, I love being on stage with my band.
I love every part of it. I know. I talked
to other musicians and they go, oh God, I have
to go on tour, and I think I've never felt
like that. I felt like, I'm excited, like get I
get to go to Australia. The other thing that cracks
me up when I tell people, I said, I'm going
to Australia. Have you ever been? And they say no,
(30:20):
because not many people here have been. And I said,
well you should go with you love it and they go, oh,
that's a long way to go. I don't. I'm like,
come on, you watch TV for twelve hours.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Maxi Andelli in the Morning caught up with Chris Isaac
ahead of his gig this Sunday in Atlanta to Day
on the Grainicle. Some of his biggest songs was Baby
did a Bad Bad Thing. So the guys asked him
about bad bad things.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Well, Chris will be wondering if because you know that
you're very, very busy. I love the fact that we're
speaking to you. You've got your guitar on your lap there.
But we're wondering if you could do us a little
bit of a favor and have a bit of fun
with us with regards to bad bad thing.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
What would you like, Well, just a little bit of it.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
Well, if you want to play something, that's fine, But
we also wanted to put some scenarios to you and
you can tell us whether or not something is a
bad thing, a bad bad thing, or a bad bad, bad,
bad bad thing. Let's have a warm up one first, Okay,
So here is the thing.
Speaker 5 (31:19):
The scenario number one, Chris Isaac. It's a real life scenario.
So back in two thousand and one, when Ona Ryders
she was arrested for shoplifting charges in Beverly Hills, she
was caught ripping security tags off five and a half
thousand US dollars worth of merchandise, took him in her bag,
I mean, shoplifting, vandalism, all that sort of stuff. Is
(31:39):
that for you a bad thing, a bad bad thing,
or maybe some more bads on top of that? It's
really free choice. This game we're making it up as
we go along.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Chris, I'm going to break your example and I'm going
to wreck your game right now for a second.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Okay, okay, we're with you.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
I know Wanona, she's a friend and kind to me.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
You know.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
I hate to poke fun at her for something that
I'm sure she went that was a tough time in
her life. I don't know all the details or why,
but I go, man, if you took the if you
took the tough times of my life and examine them,
I'm going to come off looking way worse than that
was a minor tempest.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
I love that, all right, Well what about this because
you don't know me and more importantly criticized that you
don't know my husband on a level of bad. It
was Valentine's Day and I said to him in the morning,
what should we do tonight, Darling, wouldn't it be great
to be able to do something special? And he turned
around to me and said, oh, did I not tell you?
(32:41):
I'm going to be on the Gold Coast, which is
an entire different state, and you're going to be home
alone looking after the children. Is that a bad thing?
A bad bad thing, or a bad bad bad thing,
bad thing.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
I'm going to the girl.
Speaker 5 (32:57):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Oh, I think, yes, that is full Australian's seed nappy
for daper.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
Yeah, we do well done, We absolutely do.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
I don't know how I knew that. I'm trying to
speak Australia.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Very good. All right, let me throw a bad thing
at you, Chris, And this is going the other way.
So I want to know if my wife is doing
a bad thing or otherwise. This comes up a lot
on our show when we do the washing. My wife
Eliza has a habit of instead of putting all of
the matching socks in the washing together, we'll just throw
(33:28):
whichever one comes up first. So when we're hanging up
the washing, we've got mismatch socks. And it really gives
me the irrits Chris, because we lose socks. So I
think it's really bad, bad, bad, But I want to
know where it stands for you, because you're the judge.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
Stop your whining. Can you believe that your beautiful wife
so many guys we're looking at her, gone, how has
she gone with that guy? Yeah? Now he's upset the
way I do the socks in the wash. Look back,
my friend at the time when you first saw her
and you went, I don't care if she could cook.
(34:05):
I don't care if she could so I don't care
if she keeps a neat house. I want her right.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
So we say exactly the same thing, Chris Isaac, thank
you so much, sir, And I'll pass on your bad, bad,
bad message to my hubby.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
What significant event of your child? There's an academiss for
a girl's weekend.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
I headed up to do some family stuff in Brisbane
and I just so happened to coincide with Fortnighte fourteen
other girls that I used to be friends with at
college getting together. Yeah, some of these people I have
not spoken to in nineteen years.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
I'm still very suspect on this. I had to go
and do some family stuff, but fourteen of my old
nts happened to be there getting on the piece.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
I wish no. So then we were there and it
was amazing how quickly we kind of all flipped back
into the people that we were at Conley.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
Oh yeah, your little cliques.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
Maybe I don't know clicks, but it was just also
very interesting to hear where everybody was in life and
kind of comparing your notes about where you thought they
would go in life and everything else. I'd like to
say that I think I was the disappointment.
Speaker 5 (35:16):
You were a disappointment. Your name's on the poster right behind.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
To be completely fair, I took four years to do
a three years Bachelor of Arts degree, so the fact
I was standing up right. And then one of the
girls that actually got kicked out of college with a
GPA of two, that's she became the doctor.
Speaker 5 (35:32):
Well there you go.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
Having said that it's a marine botanist, so she's a
doctor of plants, because.
Speaker 5 (35:37):
I don't want her going anywhere any of muppets.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
Anyway. We were chatting about things and some of them
had made this absolutely massive effort to get there, Like
five were from Melbourne for you, from Sydney Country, New
South Wales, all this sort of stuff. And one of
them turned up instead of going to her boys' eighteenth birthday.
Speaker 5 (35:56):
She's gone to get in the cans with her old
school mates.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
She has gone on the girl trip and not been
there when her boy has turned eighteen.
Speaker 5 (36:05):
What do you think about that?
Speaker 4 (36:07):
I loved every minute. Yeah, I was really, but I
could see some people going.
Speaker 5 (36:12):
Oh see, I reckon an eighteenth is a big deal
for some and less of a deal for others. If
you miss the twenty first, you're a.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
He it's a bad parent, do you reckon?
Speaker 11 (36:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (36:20):
But if you missed the eighteenth, because at the end
of the day, the eighteenth, the kid just wants to
have a beer with mum and dad and then piss
off out the town and buy legal alcohol for the
first time.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
All right, So wedding, missing that bad parent.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
Don't do that. Definitely, don't do that.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Twenty first you reckon?
Speaker 5 (36:35):
Yeah, you've got a bet that eighteenth.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
Yeah, that's okay, fifty okay, all right.
Speaker 5 (36:40):
Graduation, Yeah, you've got to be at the graduation.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
Is there a difference between primary verse high school?
Speaker 5 (36:45):
I mean, I'm going to say probably not.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
Damn it to being a fan. I missed my eldest
daughter's graduation from primary school. It was the most heart
wrenching thing I have ever ever done. I had committed
to m seeing a charity gig or something like that.
Speaker 5 (37:03):
You can be bored, No, you can be bored instead
of going to your child's.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
Graduation, and I'd said yes to them so long ago,
and then the date came out clash and she was
so beautiful about it. Only yeah, and it only made
me cry more. And I remember dropping her off and
giving her a hug, and the teacher coming out and saying,
are you not coming into tears again?
Speaker 5 (37:25):
Was Matt there? He was there?
Speaker 4 (37:32):
And then she wins an award? Oh no, it was
generally the worst day of my life. Oh some other
people's kids, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
You've never heard of.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
What moments did you miss of your child's that maybe
you shouldn't have. Ali's friend who she caught up with
at a school reunion that happened interstate, missed her child's
eighteenth birthday party just to be there.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
Bromlin of Smithfield, Come on, Brolin, what did you miss
your kids?
Speaker 8 (38:05):
I missed my son's first week of work. So I
went out for my birthday, which to be on Sturday
often do, went out with the mates lovely evening. Two
days later, felt a fraction sick. Found out that nine
of our thirteen people that went had COVID the rona,
So I spent a week in hospital. So yeah, I
(38:27):
was devastated that I couldn't get his clothes ready drop
him off. It was fourteen and nine months at the time,
was just turned sixteen.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
So Jill from Capanda, Okay, what did you miss?
Speaker 13 (38:42):
I missed my son getting his first school award athletely devastated,
but I was really glad that I didn't have to
sit through the boring stuff because I break my leg
and I got yeah, I got stuck in hospital. So yeah,
the running and it was out of my control.
Speaker 4 (39:01):
Okay, And so what award was it?
Speaker 12 (39:04):
For being courageous for going to school without me being there?
Speaker 13 (39:07):
He was really latching onto me a lot.
Speaker 4 (39:09):
So yeah, you know what would have been real courage
if you turned up with your broken leg.
Speaker 5 (39:18):
To know it.
Speaker 4 (39:19):
Okay, Chrissy, what big, massive moment did you miss in
your child's life?
Speaker 12 (39:23):
I missed my son's eighteenth It was it was going
to be a big night. I really wanted to go,
but then you know what, I got a better offer.
I'm not even sorry. I got offered to go to
a hen's right with sippers and the thought of some
you know, bums and winkies in my face for a
(39:47):
much better offer than a bunch of I was getting drunk.
Speaker 7 (39:52):
That is the best.
Speaker 4 (39:53):
Was your son upset at all that you've chosen the No.
Speaker 12 (39:59):
We're very open with each other, so when I told
him what.
Speaker 5 (40:01):
I got and he was like, your mom, Oh you're
the best. Did you see any bums and winkies?
Speaker 7 (40:07):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (40:08):
God?
Speaker 12 (40:08):
Yet in my face right close up, rubbed my glasses
on him.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
Yes, Chrissy, get it, Go, get it, Chrissy, you're the greatest. Now,
has your son had his? Has your son had his
twenty first yet? Yes?
Speaker 12 (40:24):
He has his twenty two now, So there you go.
Speaker 4 (40:27):
I can't wait to see what you do for his wedding.
Thank you, Chris, Thank you.
Adelaide's fun breakfast show, Max andale in the Morning.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Look, I love a good maximally in the morning Rescue.
Here's one right.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Now, three from Maxinalely to the rescue. Yep.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
We've been asking you basically if you need a hand
or if you know someone that does, and lots of
people have been getting to mix one or two to
three dot com dot au. And one of those people
that actually said, yeah, you know what, I need a
little bit of help. Here is Nicole and she's with
us now. Good morning Nicole, Good morning guys.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
Tell us your story.
Speaker 6 (00:32):
So first and foremost, I'm a mum of four beautiful girls,
a wife, also studying to be a nurse.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Yeah, what's studying to be a nurse like?
Speaker 6 (00:41):
Going back to studying has been a massive jump. It's hard,
especially when you've got work in kids and just life
in general.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
What made you want to study there? With all everything
else that's going on.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
So I've always wanted to be a nurse, and then,
unfortunately a few years ago, my husband suffered a massive
heart attack and they gave us all a huge reality
shock that not only his life too short, but if
there's something that you want, then go out and get it.
And I just want to show my girls you're never
too old reach for your dreams.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Sometimes when something like that would happen, it would say, right, O,
life's too short. I'm going to go to Hawaiian study.
But you you want to be a nurse? What do
you love about it?
Speaker 6 (01:27):
I just think that it's an absolute privilege to stand
there and help someone or hold their hand or be
there for them and do what you can for them.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
Your husband, Morris is okay, now he is.
Speaker 6 (01:39):
You know, it's taken a while, so he had about
eight or nine months off work. So obviously during that
time we chewed through quite a bit of savings and
we made lots of sacrifices. You know, my kids have
had to make sacrifices for me. My husband has made
sacrifices for me. It's extremely hard with children, with life,
(02:00):
with everything to try and you know, fiddle that in.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
How do kids go with that? They're making sacrifices. As
a kid, you just you want the things, but at
the same time, you want to show them they can
achieve their dreams and do everything that they can, and
that's what you're trying to show them. But they're still
having to make these sacrifices.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
On the side, my two older girls obviously understand a
lot more, but it's hard. I think maybe the two
younger ones probably don't quite understand it. You know, you're
trying to explain that Mom can't go here or Mum
can't do this because mum's got an assignment Juell and
I think probably over the last twelve months, they've started
to get used to it a bit more, you know,
and understand there's other people out there who are making
(02:39):
far more sacrifices than what I am, and you know,
are doing it a lot harder than what I am.
I'm just lucky that I have an extremely understanding husband
most of the time.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Well, we actually have a little bit of surprise for
you. You don't know this has happened, but that beautiful understanding
husband of yours got your four girls, your sixteen year old,
twelve year olds, he had a ten year old either
and seven year old little Lana, got them together to
have a chat about what it is that you're doing
and what it means to them.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
What is Mom's dream and why to be a nurse
at the Women's and Children's hospital. She's always wanted to
do that ever since she was a little kid.
Speaker 7 (03:17):
Why is Mum an inspiration to you?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Cause she nice and she cares for other people. She's
always working hard to look after my sisters and I.
She also inspires me to do my best and never
give up.
Speaker 7 (03:30):
What would you want to spoil Mom with that she
doesn't do for herself?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
The holiday where she gets to relax the whole time.
What would it mean to Mom to go to the laptop.
It would mean a look because she really went to
mac book. She would stop stressing over her assignments getting lost.
I'm very proud of Mom. She has given up a
lot of her time to study and work whilst also
caring for us at home. I'm really happy for Mommy
(03:55):
to be amen. Why is Mom the best mom in
the world Because she always makes me laugh, She always
does her best and everything.
Speaker 8 (04:04):
And she makes me happy when I'm feeling sad.
Speaker 9 (04:06):
I wanted to say to Mom that I love her
so much and I don't tell her enough. How proud
I am of her everything she does for our family.
She's a real supermum to be able to work full time,
study and look after us all.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Oh don't you damn cry, I'm going to thank you.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Okay, I think a lot of us can probably relate
to us not telling our mums enough.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Must be nice to hear it is very nice to
hear one of them mentioned in this laptop and tell
us a little bit about what happened.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
When I first started studying. Obviously, a laptop is a requirement.
We just didn't have the spare funds for me to
get a laptop. So my dad stepped in and ever
so kindly brought me a secondhand laptop.
Speaker 7 (04:52):
You know, without I didn't even ask him.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
I just was one day having conversation with him about
studying and needing.
Speaker 7 (04:57):
A laptop, and yeah, so he brought me this second
hand laptop.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
And the joke in my nursing class is it's nicknamed
the Dinosaur.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
It is quite an old laptop.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
But I think it was going to get the job.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
I was and I was confident. I was like, yeah,
it's going to it's gonna last. But unfortunately, the other
night I was sitting there finishing my eight case studies
that I had to do, and so it, yeah, it
just died the black screen of death. And you know,
we tried to charge it. We tried to do everything,
but unfortunately it's yeah, it's gone and that's it. So
(05:33):
and along with it went my last twelve months of
study because Sillimi didn't think to save it.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
In what she wrote to us, you said, I'm so
as shamed that at my age I couldn't afford to
purchase a new one, and that my dad still needed
to help me. We're not going back to dad. We
need to get this laptop sorted, don't we. We do, well, Nicole,
if it's all right, you can stick around. We might
have someone that might be able to help you out next.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
Oh my god, guys, that will be so amazing.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Okay, well I said they might just come and we'll see.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Right the meantime, have the tissues handies. We do part
two of this maximally rescue for Nicole.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
So Nicole's dream is to become a nurse. Now, everything
was going well until the laptop that your dad bought
for you crashed and died, and so now you don't
have that anymore.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
That's right, just running Windows two thousand and seven.
Speaker 7 (06:23):
It was running.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
It was the most advanced program and I'm.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
All right, Well, the good news is listening to all
of this has been a very good mate of us
here at Mixed one or two point three. His name
is Rob, but we always call him Rob from one
eight hundred Got junk, go find inger, Robus, what are
you just ringing up? Because you know you guys take
anything there, You're going to take her laptop.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
You look at the laptop.
Speaker 10 (06:50):
We can certainly help with the listening to the story
just this morning. It resonates will me on so many levels.
I certainly how they are now and never movement myself
when I turned forty and I bought a tope business
to be funny. And also you know, we've just as
a family spent a fevol of time around the hospitals
in the emergency departments and working with the nurses and
(07:10):
so on, and without these awesome people, we are in
massive trouble. So we had a bit of a chatter
around the round the table, and we'd love to come
to the party and grab a new laptop for Nicole.
You know, we we think what she's doing is super
super special, not only for our family and what she's
doing for herself, but also for the community, for all
of us.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Oh, Rob, I can tell you when you said, well,
your sort of laptop. Just you just took a big
deep breath in then, didn't you, nicoll I did.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
I did.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
I can't even find the words to thank you enough.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
And yeah, from.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
Once in my life, I'm speechless.
Speaker 10 (07:46):
We'd really love to help out to see how uner
stuffed hospitals are and to see someone wanted to come
through and help that situation and essentially help all of us,
you know, like, well, you're a very special person.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Thank you so much, and as are you Roll. We
love you and the entire team. You get them over
that table anytime you can, if you're listening, you always
come to the party to help out. So look if
there's any way that you can help. Rob, who's such
a brilliant supporter of our community. One eight hundred got
junk Rob, Thank you so much, Buddy.
Speaker 11 (08:14):
Low worries at all.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
We love to talk.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
The laptop's good. The laptop was needed, We needed the laptop.
We are so happy we could help you with that, Nicole.
But you are doing more than just work. You are
looking after a family, looking after yourself, trying to look
after all of us by studying to become a nurse.
Hopefully we never need you, but we just think that
maybe there's a little bit more that we could assist with.
(08:38):
Don't you reckon ally?
Speaker 10 (08:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Who doesn't love a good maximally you rescue? Well, this
is the one for Nicole, the mum of four whose
husband had a heart attack a few years ago. Thankfully
he's okay, but it was a bit of a reality
check for Nicole and the whole family for that matter,
and so it caused Nicole to actually take up a
career in nursing, which is currently studying.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
But due to money.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Shoes, she had a pretty basic laptop and unfortunately, almost
twelve months of work disappeared after the laptop died. So
Max Neelly came to the rescue and got her a
new laptop.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
But wait, there's more. When's the last time you guys
have been on a holiday do you think?
Speaker 6 (09:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (09:16):
Years ago?
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Yeah, long enough for you to go.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Last weekend.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
So we thought that might be the case. So I
put in a phone call to our friends down at
West Beach Park. So they're going to come on board
and give you guys a weekend away because we know
that you're in amongst the study. We know that the
time is really poor, but you guys can get away
to them for an entire weekend and one of their
awesome cabins. It's worth eight hundred and fifty bucks. And
you said in there that you don't have to stress
(09:41):
or do anything. You don't. These kids can just take
over the park. They've got jumpy pillows, they even have
gin tastings at times. Check it out.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
All you have to worry about is when they fall
off their bicks and get scratches on their elbows, which
I think you're going to handle.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
And then I thought, well, because you're a West Beach park,
you know it's just down the road Harbortown. So rang
the team at Harbortown and they want to give you
guys a five hundred dollars shopping boucher.
Speaker 7 (10:06):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
You can go and get new school shoes, running shoes,
you can get sheets, whatever it is.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Just treat yourself.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
You can go there and treat yourself. Yeah, the kids
will be fine. Yeah, spend it on yourselfish.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Absolutely fine.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
So we have to give a massive thanks to the
team out there. Because they're Essay's largest premium outlet shopping destinations,
over one hundred and twenty stores. You're gonna be able
to go and check out.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
My god, maybe I'll leave the kids at there. Yeah,
Morris and I agree.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
I didn't want to say that out loud on tape.
You've come to that.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Also, why don't you go and pampy yourself? Because Ali,
in her hurricane of calling every single business and Adelac
yesterday spoke to Clip Joint Hair Salon. They've come on board.
They're going to give you a color and they're going
to spoil you at one of their awesome salons in
three locations, Burnside, Rundle Street and Melbourne Street.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
Oh my god, I've forgotten the last time that have
actually been and had my hair cut or you know. Unfortunately,
in the sacrifice of those sorts of things, you know,
we just didn't have the money she'd be able for
me to go do that. So I was doing that
at home, the at home hair dye jobs.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
And Dasa didn't want to say anything. But it takes
one to know one me too, but I know like
that is the first thing that goes right. Never if
you have any amount of time or money, it is
never going on yourself. He goes to the kids, to
your family. I rang Nicole. I met her at the
tennis and she gave me a card. Big misnake, Nicole said,
big mistake. Mada hair and all the clip joints salons.
(11:33):
They're ready to look after you and they do such
a beautiful job.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
That is so amazing. Guys, I can't thank you enough.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
Stop at the carle because we're not done yet.
Speaker 12 (11:40):
Oh my god.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
So while you're looking good, you may as well feel good.
So you know, as a nurse, you're on your feet
all day, right, you're walking around shoes. You gotta have
some good shoes and you're on your feet.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
You possibly say this without sounding like he doesn't know
what he's talking about, because these are the most comfortable
shoes and I wear them all time. They're Frankie four shoes.
They are done by podiatrists and they have decided to
give you, guys a five hundred dollar about you or you.
So once you get into nursing, you can go and
get yourself the most comfortable treads around. They'll fit them.
(12:13):
They'll do all that you've got it. It's their gorgeous
shoes too, so they're not just the ones that you've
got to wear to work. Trust me.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Yeah, Oh my god, look good, feel good, Nikole.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
Absolutely, that's a massive Yeah, that's help. Thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
All Right, fine, we're done.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
No, we're definitely not done. Okay with that Frankie four stuff.
You'll actually go to Hide Park, their concept store, and
they'll sit and give you this personalized fitting experience as well,
and then we get to you and your hobby.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Yeah, you guys need to spend some time to get
after all of this. To be looking good, you gotta
be feeling It's about time. The two of you just
had a bit of time to sit down and go
over everything that you've been through. What we have organized
for you is a lovely dinner at one of the
premier restaurants in South Australia, probably in astral.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Probably the world universe, I'd say probably the world.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
We're going to send you down to Star of Greece
overlooking Port wa Langa Beach and you can spend some
time together as husband and wife. That is all thanks
to Nicky and Doug gob that's amazing.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
Oh, thank you guys. We'd never get time just for
the two of us. He comes home from work and
I leave for work.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
So you like ships the past especially, Yeah, and Nicky
and Doug govern their mates of mine and Nickers will
look after you. The only deal is that you're not
allowed to talk about the kids. Deal.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Yeah, absolutely, Nicole. You wrote you're a very original submission
to us. You said right at the end, I'm sure
there are others with far more pressing needs than mine.
Right now, I just need a win. So if you
are still reading, thank you cheers from one stressed out, tired, cranky, forty.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Something mum, student and wife.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
And it resonated with us, and it has resonated with
all of Adelaide, and we are so happy that we
could do just something for a superwoman like you.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Thank you, guys. This is just amazing. This is just
made my year, my everything. I actually didn't expect to
even you know, make the cut. I actually had to
borrow my daughter's school latter to even send in the application.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Well, look, we're just so happy for you. I'm very
very proud of you. We know that in what less
than a year's time, you were going to be there
changing people's lives and supporting them like you were supported
two years ago when Morris went through that heart attack
and gave you, guys, the scare of your Life's curssed.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Right, now there's a job where all you have to
do is get people's confessions from them just as they're
about to pass away. Interesting gig.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
We've been talking about deathbed confessionals, or things you found
out after someone died. I found a fantastic story in
the States about a family that had no idea that
the father was a fugitive bank robber, and he told
them just as he was about to pass away from
lung cancer, and they were all stunned. They had no idea.
The police could never find him. So that's what we've
(15:12):
been asking the people of Adelaide.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Well, now we've actually got someone whose job it is
to be able to get the confessions out of people
just before they die. His name is Bill Edgar. He's
known as the Coffin Confessor.
Speaker 11 (15:23):
Good morning Bill, Good morning Bill.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
This is such an interesting line of work that you're in.
I mean, how do you describe it When someone says,
what do you do?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Bill?
Speaker 11 (15:32):
Well, I told them that I crashed funerals on behalf
of the deceased, telling those that we loved how much.
So I love to notice that my clients love to
hate to air f off.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Oh my god, Bill, do you do while people are
alive still. So how does it work, Bill? You go
to somebody who is going to pass away, or you
go to someone before clearly they do, and what they
tell you all their deep dark secrets.
Speaker 11 (15:58):
Yeah so, I mean gazed by the decease before they
pass obviously, and they tell me all their secrets, their desires,
their fantasies. Anything that they left unsaid that they once
said at their funeral may head to the vultures in
the families as well, those that will attend the funeral
for themselves and not actually for the decease.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
H yeah, yeah, yeah, So what sort of stuff Bill.
Speaker 11 (16:18):
There's been the extra man of affair. There's been the
disclosure of the best mate trying to screw another bloke's
wife while he's on his deathbed. And there's the odd
one where the ladies actually passed away and left a
revealing confession to a boyfriend or husband that the children
they have together aren't actually his.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
So in that scenario, do you honestly go not to
the funeral, but you go to them and say, hey,
just so you know, go and get a paternity test
as such.
Speaker 11 (16:50):
No, it's not about them for me, it's about the
clients who's laying in the coffin side, no care or
concern for those left behind, and I just let rip
at the funeral or at the wake or a face
to face. It's totally up to my client.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
How did that person react, though.
Speaker 11 (17:05):
I think he sort of knew, to be honest with you.
And the good part about that is the children were
told before she died, and it was a very toxic relationship,
so she got her revenge in the end. He was
a really bad type of person. So that's what I
mean by I have that care concern for the bulxes
or those that hurt others.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
Have you been given instructions to get up at a
funeral and say this in the service or is it
all done behind closed doors and you find the person
and you let them know.
Speaker 11 (17:34):
No both. I mean, I'll go the funeral absolutely and
just stand up in the middle of the funeral, depending
on my client's wishes. I mean Graham, my first client,
he asked me to stand up while his best mates
performing the eulogy and telling him to sit down and
shut up for f off because the man in the
coffin's got something to say.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
Oh no, why?
Speaker 4 (17:52):
And then what did he.
Speaker 11 (17:53):
Say he was the one that had his best mates
on a scur his wife, but he also had three
relatives at the funeral, and he said, if they turn enough,
can you please ask him to leave. I haven't seen
him in thirty years, so why are they there now
paying their respects?
Speaker 4 (18:06):
So, Bill, this is absolutely astounding.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
You've got to have some stones, Bill, to get up
at a funeral.
Speaker 11 (18:13):
Well, you know what, I thought the same too at
the start. But once you meet these people that are
dying and you listen to their stories, and it's just
some of them are so devastating, while some of them
are very loving and funny. I mean, and it's across
the board. I mean, I do good bed, funny and sad.
So I mean there's some hilarious ones, but there's also
some that you think, okay, I could do that. You know,
(18:33):
I have to prepare myself too.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Of course, you know, the morning of their funeral, when
you're getting out of bed and you're putting his shoes
on and your tie and like so whatever it is,
knowing you're about to walk in and blow apart some
people's lives, I mean, that must just be Oh, you'd
have to have butterflies regardless.
Speaker 11 (18:51):
Oh yes, I rehearse, and I rehearse, and as much
as I rehearse, it doesn't matter. You're still Yeah, you've
got the butterflies and you got the sweat. And a
certain time that my client told me to stand up
and even at a face to face before I knock
on somebody's door and reveal a deep secret to a
person face to face that you know, I've got to
be very careful. I mean, at the same time a
(19:12):
message that been delivered and I could all know that
it's going to be said.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
And done maximally earlier. Talking to someone with an interesting gig.
Bill Edgar is his name. He is known as the
Coffin Confessor. So yep, it's his job to get confessions
out of people just as they're about to leave this earth.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Here's some examples.
Speaker 11 (19:32):
Delivering a message to a lady whose friends had passed
and they were friends for over fifty years, and the
message was that she was madly in love with her
best friend. She would have loved to have an affair
and been with us alife. And the sad part of
that is that the receiver actually told me exactly the
same thing. But they couldn't get together. They were too
embarrassed and too scared about doing.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
It being gay. And oh, I've just got goosebumps.
Speaker 11 (19:57):
Oh, very sad because they couldn't live the way they
really wanted to live. And it's so sad that they
were friends for that long and they couldn't disclose that
to each other.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
And what about Bill, what's one of the confessions that
you've had to deliver that you were most worried about delivering.
Speaker 11 (20:13):
I wouldn't say it was a messive. It was an act.
I had to do it a viewing, so I had
to attend the viewing of a body and pin trick
the body system. Man was petrified at being cremated.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
Alive to check he was actually dead.
Speaker 7 (20:29):
He was really dead.
Speaker 11 (20:30):
That was his request and that's what he wanted. He said,
treat my body as a pin cushion and please make
sure I'm dead, you know. And that was he had
a fear. And since then many people have come forward
and saying, look, I don't want to be buried alive.
Please put my mobile phone with me, or pin prick
my body or do something.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Oh, Phil, how do you possibly go up in front
of a room full of people and surreptitiously pin pricks someone.
Speaker 11 (20:54):
I asked for a private during for two minutes.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Okay, thank god for that. I can imagine Mom and
Dad seeing they go, who is this guy? Pushion?
Speaker 7 (21:05):
And Bill?
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Have you ever had someone confess to you something that
they had done in life that was illegal?
Speaker 11 (21:11):
So I've got a few confessions now from prisoners, people
still serving time. I have one here that's in an envelope.
I can't open the envelope because it's a crime that
if I know about, I've got to report. So I
will only know about it at the time of his funeral.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
Given that instruction, don't open this or else you'll be implicated.
Speaker 11 (21:30):
Well, that was my litigated instructions. My lawyers said, look,
you know he's best writing it down and posting it
to you. That way, you don't know what it is.
You don't have to report it until the day of
this funeral.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
And then if it is something that is legal or
the police should know about, you do go and tell
the police.
Speaker 11 (21:46):
Absolutely, but I dare say most of the mornings to
do that.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Anyway, Hey, Bill, thank you so much. Fascinating. Look, I
can talk to you forever. In a day but really
appreciate your time.
Speaker 11 (21:54):
Mate, No problem, but all take care of guys.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Let's talk gen z lingo.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
I'm not here to say that you are old or
I am young, but we have an age gap is
a diplomatic way of saying it. So I'm maybe closer
to the slang without being fully enveloped. Right, Okay, so
I can assist you, thank you with a few of them.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Awesome.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
So have your children come home and maybe pulled out
the word drip?
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (22:21):
Do you know what the word drip?
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Well? I just presumed it was what we used to
say and had the same meaning as the old fashion
in the olden days, like when I grew up, Like
you're a drip man, Like you're drip. Yeah, you're a drip.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
What's a drip? Is that a bad thing?
Speaker 4 (22:33):
It's a bad thing. It's like you're a drip. You
just no one, You're just like n mate.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Drip's good, it's good. Flip your scrip. If you've got drip,
you look good. You got some swagger, Like check out
the drip on alley?
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Where does that come from the internet?
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Probably? Mate, But you just go with it a game,

Speaker 12 (25:11):
The word is bustin'.

And this song.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
This is of course the great Chris.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Isaac, and he caught up with Max Nowy in the morning.
Here's part one.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
The s was the theme song where she rides through
the radio Warner Wave. Ali, Ali, it should be Ali
Clark Clark, Ali Clark Clark.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
But you do not know how much joy you have
just given me, because I've been banging on about you,
Chris Isaac, ever since we were allowed to know that
we were going to speak to you. I reckon, I've
seen you every time you've come here and I have
seen everything from your pink mirrored suit to your all
of your costumes, and I reckon one of my all
time favorite moments, not just your iconic voice, would possibly
(26:57):
be when you were swat Commander in Silence of the Lamb.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
You a fan la by chance? I just saw that.
I turn on the TV when I work out or
when I flost my teeth, and that's about it. And
I turned on the TV and it was right on
the part of Silence of the Lambs where I'm in
the elevator on the squad and I went, wow, oh
my god, I haven't seen that, you know, forty years
ago or something.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Well, we haven't seen you down here for about it.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
Ease.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
What have you been busy doing? Was it something we said?
Speaker 3 (27:28):
No, it was the pandemic. It kind of knocked me
out of my schedule. I was planning on being back
much sooner. I feel like I'm overdue.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Yes, very very object.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Have you got some happy memories of Australia some way
you always like coming.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
I love Australia. If I had to pick someplace to
live and it was outside the United States, I'd pick
Australia because I get along with the people. I'm from California,
and I feel like Australians are kind of very California, Like,
you know, they're kind of laid back and straightforward. I
used to think, oh, I'm from California. The beaches here
the best. Then I went to Australia, I came back
(28:02):
to California. I went, guys, they got this beat.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
Hey, we also like having a crack at the wine too,
and maybe trying to beat you in the wine because
you're gonna be playing at Pete Layman's up in the
Barossa Valley, which is awesome.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
When there's good wine around. People love to be near
me because I don't.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
Do'n drink.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Well, i'll take you out then, Chris Isaac, Well, I'm
happy to you.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
Said.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Years ago, I had Lisa Marie Presley, God bless her.
She was opening for me on the first time that
she went out and played. She opened for me, and
she was scared to death, and she said, I want
to invite you to lunch. And we went to lunch
and she ordered this bottle of wine and she said,
you must try this bottle of wine. And somebody said,
it's like two thousand dollars a bottle, Chris, and I said, Lisa,
(28:49):
given that to me, it's like giving a steak to
a monkey. I said, I that's wasted on me. I
don't drink, you know, give me an orange soda.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
Now, I want to know how someone who is a
rock star, movie star, how do you go through life
being a bachelor. There must be so many people out
there for you crease.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Oh my god, I think it sounds right. At times.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
It was not something I'm proud of, and I wouldn't
recommend it. I have to say, you know, looking back
at my life, that's probably one of the things that
I go I wish I had that part of my
life a little more filled out. As the way things
unfolded in my life, it was, you know, I did
a record, then I did another record, then I did
a movie, then I did a tour. Then I did
a record and a tour and a movie, and before
(29:33):
I knew it, one day I looked in the mirror
and I went, oh, my god, you know, it's been
forty years ago a bit.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
Were there any that got away?
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Yes, there are people who have been you know, I've
known some fantastic people. But I really think what got
in the way was it's hard to have a relationship
when you're I think, I love you, Yvonne, but I
have to be to train in thirty minutes.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
What is it about touring then that keeps pulling me back?
Speaker 3 (30:00):
I love singing, I love being on stage with my band.
I love every part of it. I know. I talked
to other musicians and they go, oh God, I have
to go on tour, and I think I've never felt
like that. I felt like, I'm excited, like get I
get to go to Australia. The other thing that cracks
me up when I tell people, I said, I'm going
to Australia. Have you ever been? And they say no,
(30:20):
because not many people here have been. And I said,
well you should go with you love it and they go, oh,
that's a long way to go. I don't. I'm like,
come on, you watch TV for twelve hours.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Maxi Andelli in the Morning caught up with Chris Isaac
ahead of his gig this Sunday in Atlanta to Day
on the Grainicle. Some of his biggest songs was Baby
did a Bad Bad Thing. So the guys asked him
about bad bad things.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Well, Chris will be wondering if because you know that
you're very, very busy. I love the fact that we're
speaking to you. You've got your guitar on your lap there.
But we're wondering if you could do us a little
bit of a favor and have a bit of fun
with us with regards to bad bad thing.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
What would you like, Well, just a little bit of it.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
Well, if you want to play something, that's fine, But
we also wanted to put some scenarios to you and
you can tell us whether or not something is a
bad thing, a bad bad thing, or a bad bad, bad,
bad bad thing. Let's have a warm up one first, Okay,
So here is the thing.
Speaker 5 (31:19):
The scenario number one, Chris Isaac. It's a real life scenario.
So back in two thousand and one, when Ona Ryders
she was arrested for shoplifting charges in Beverly Hills, she
was caught ripping security tags off five and a half
thousand US dollars worth of merchandise, took him in her bag,
I mean, shoplifting, vandalism, all that sort of stuff. Is
(31:39):
that for you a bad thing, a bad bad thing,
or maybe some more bads on top of that? It's
really free choice. This game we're making it up as
we go along.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Chris, I'm going to break your example and I'm going
to wreck your game right now for a second.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Okay, okay, we're with you.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
I know Wanona, she's a friend and kind to me.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
You know.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
I hate to poke fun at her for something that
I'm sure she went that was a tough time in
her life. I don't know all the details or why,
but I go, man, if you took the if you
took the tough times of my life and examine them,
I'm going to come off looking way worse than that
was a minor tempest.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
I love that, all right, Well what about this because
you don't know me and more importantly criticized that you
don't know my husband on a level of bad. It
was Valentine's Day and I said to him in the morning,
what should we do tonight, Darling, wouldn't it be great
to be able to do something special? And he turned
around to me and said, oh, did I not tell you?
(32:41):
I'm going to be on the Gold Coast, which is
an entire different state, and you're going to be home
alone looking after the children. Is that a bad thing?
A bad bad thing, or a bad bad bad thing,
bad thing.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
I'm going to the girl.
Speaker 5 (32:57):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Oh, I think, yes, that is full Australian's seed nappy
for daper.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
Yeah, we do well done, We absolutely do.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
I don't know how I knew that. I'm trying to
speak Australia.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Very good. All right, let me throw a bad thing
at you, Chris, And this is going the other way.
So I want to know if my wife is doing
a bad thing or otherwise. This comes up a lot
on our show when we do the washing. My wife
Eliza has a habit of instead of putting all of
the matching socks in the washing together, we'll just throw
(33:28):
whichever one comes up first. So when we're hanging up
the washing, we've got mismatch socks. And it really gives
me the irrits Chris, because we lose socks. So I
think it's really bad, bad, bad, But I want to
know where it stands for you, because you're the judge.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
Stop your whining. Can you believe that your beautiful wife
so many guys we're looking at her, gone, how has
she gone with that guy? Yeah? Now he's upset the
way I do the socks in the wash. Look back,
my friend at the time when you first saw her
and you went, I don't care if she could cook.
(34:05):
I don't care if she could so I don't care
if she keeps a neat house. I want her right.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
So we say exactly the same thing, Chris Isaac, thank
you so much, sir, And I'll pass on your bad, bad,
bad message to my hubby.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
What significant event of your child? There's an academiss for
a girl's weekend.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
I headed up to do some family stuff in Brisbane
and I just so happened to coincide with Fortnighte fourteen
other girls that I used to be friends with at
college getting together. Yeah, some of these people I have
not spoken to in nineteen years.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
I'm still very suspect on this. I had to go
and do some family stuff, but fourteen of my old
nts happened to be there getting on the piece.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
I wish no. So then we were there and it
was amazing how quickly we kind of all flipped back
into the people that we were at Conley.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
Oh yeah, your little cliques.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
Maybe I don't know clicks, but it was just also
very interesting to hear where everybody was in life and
kind of comparing your notes about where you thought they
would go in life and everything else. I'd like to
say that I think I was the disappointment.
Speaker 5 (35:16):
You were a disappointment. Your name's on the poster right behind.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
To be completely fair, I took four years to do
a three years Bachelor of Arts degree, so the fact
I was standing up right. And then one of the
girls that actually got kicked out of college with a
GPA of two, that's she became the doctor.
Speaker 5 (35:32):
Well there you go.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
Having said that it's a marine botanist, so she's a
doctor of plants, because.
Speaker 5 (35:37):
I don't want her going anywhere any of muppets.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
Anyway. We were chatting about things and some of them
had made this absolutely massive effort to get there, Like
five were from Melbourne for you, from Sydney Country, New
South Wales, all this sort of stuff. And one of
them turned up instead of going to her boys' eighteenth birthday.
Speaker 5 (35:56):
She's gone to get in the cans with her old
school mates.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
She has gone on the girl trip and not been
there when her boy has turned eighteen.
Speaker 5 (36:05):
What do you think about that?
Speaker 4 (36:07):
I loved every minute. Yeah, I was really, but I
could see some people going.
Speaker 5 (36:12):
Oh see, I reckon an eighteenth is a big deal
for some and less of a deal for others. If
you miss the twenty first, you're a.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
He it's a bad parent, do you reckon?
Speaker 11 (36:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (36:20):
But if you missed the eighteenth, because at the end
of the day, the eighteenth, the kid just wants to
have a beer with mum and dad and then piss
off out the town and buy legal alcohol for the
first time.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
All right, So wedding, missing that bad parent.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
Don't do that. Definitely, don't do that.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Twenty first you reckon?
Speaker 5 (36:35):
Yeah, you've got a bet that eighteenth.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
Yeah, that's okay, fifty okay, all right.
Speaker 5 (36:40):
Graduation, Yeah, you've got to be at the graduation.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
Is there a difference between primary verse high school?
Speaker 5 (36:45):
I mean, I'm going to say probably not.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
Damn it to being a fan. I missed my eldest
daughter's graduation from primary school. It was the most heart
wrenching thing I have ever ever done. I had committed
to m seeing a charity gig or something like that.
Speaker 5 (37:03):
You can be bored, No, you can be bored instead
of going to your child's.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
Graduation, and I'd said yes to them so long ago,
and then the date came out clash and she was
so beautiful about it. Only yeah, and it only made
me cry more. And I remember dropping her off and
giving her a hug, and the teacher coming out and saying,
are you not coming into tears again?
Speaker 5 (37:25):
Was Matt there? He was there?
Speaker 4 (37:32):
And then she wins an award? Oh no, it was
generally the worst day of my life. Oh some other
people's kids, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
You've never heard of.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
What moments did you miss of your child's that maybe
you shouldn't have. Ali's friend who she caught up with
at a school reunion that happened interstate, missed her child's
eighteenth birthday party just to be there.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
Bromlin of Smithfield, Come on, Brolin, what did you miss
your kids?
Speaker 8 (38:05):
I missed my son's first week of work. So I
went out for my birthday, which to be on Sturday
often do, went out with the mates lovely evening. Two
days later, felt a fraction sick. Found out that nine
of our thirteen people that went had COVID the rona,
So I spent a week in hospital. So yeah, I
(38:27):
was devastated that I couldn't get his clothes ready drop
him off. It was fourteen and nine months at the time,
was just turned sixteen.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
So Jill from Capanda, Okay, what did you miss?
Speaker 13 (38:42):
I missed my son getting his first school award athletely devastated,
but I was really glad that I didn't have to
sit through the boring stuff because I break my leg
and I got yeah, I got stuck in hospital. So yeah,
the running and it was out of my control.
Speaker 4 (39:01):
Okay, And so what award was it?
Speaker 12 (39:04):
For being courageous for going to school without me being there?
Speaker 13 (39:07):
He was really latching onto me a lot.
Speaker 4 (39:09):
So yeah, you know what would have been real courage
if you turned up with your broken leg.
Speaker 5 (39:18):
To know it.
Speaker 4 (39:19):
Okay, Chrissy, what big, massive moment did you miss in
your child's life?
Speaker 12 (39:23):
I missed my son's eighteenth It was it was going
to be a big night. I really wanted to go,
but then you know what, I got a better offer.
I'm not even sorry. I got offered to go to
a hen's right with sippers and the thought of some
you know, bums and winkies in my face for a
(39:47):
much better offer than a bunch of I was getting drunk.
Speaker 7 (39:52):
That is the best.
Speaker 4 (39:53):
Was your son upset at all that you've chosen the No.
Speaker 12 (39:59):
We're very open with each other, so when I told
him what.
Speaker 5 (40:01):
I got and he was like, your mom, Oh you're
the best. Did you see any bums and winkies?
Speaker 7 (40:07):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (40:08):
God?
Speaker 12 (40:08):
Yet in my face right close up, rubbed my glasses
on him.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
Yes, Chrissy, get it, Go, get it, Chrissy, you're the greatest. Now,
has your son had his? Has your son had his
twenty first yet? Yes?
Speaker 12 (40:24):
He has his twenty two now, So there you go.
