Speaker 2 (00:46):
On the cutting room floor, everyone's talking about the priceless
jewels stolen at the Louver.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
The Louver.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
You said it this morning that in a way, there's
some sort of fascination for the bad guy here, isn't it.
It does sound like a movie, very brazen. Nine point
thirty in the morning. The louver was open when these
priceless things were stolen. I think one of Napoleon's wife's crowns,
a heavily bejeweled piece, was found on the side of
(01:17):
the road as they made their getaway, so they dropped
that on the way past. But at the time when
we've recorded this, no more information about who they were
or exactly how they did it. It's quite extraordinary.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
You often wonder about you see those stories, you know,
Ocean's Eleven and All the Jewels, heis Itaian Job, all
those great movies, and there is you're always rooting for
the bad guy who's stealing the jewels.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
So in a way, when this actually.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Happens in real life, you think, can people pull this
stuff off?
Speaker 4 (01:47):
But it's easier than you think, and you remember.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Me see than you think.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Well, I reckon.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
These guys, for example, were very professional. But Scott Taylor,
we've had Scott on the show before and this is
his assessment of the situation.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
A couple of quick thoughts because obviously we've just heard
about the robbery that's occurred at the Loop. They're formula
daylight operation that occurred there illustrates a number of principles
and things that I share with my clients Regularly. People
with bad intent look at your site a different way
than you do.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Whilst we may.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Look, especially if you're a service type area or the
different type of structures that we have, we look a
front of house and sometimes the vulnerabilities back of house
like loading docks and whatever. I do walk arounds with
my clients for checking their sites, and then I say, okay,
let's talk about American Ninja Warrior and about for platforming
and these are the things. Now, let's do another walk around,
(02:41):
and they always find out new things about their sites.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
Now.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
The thing is, we've had some priceless Napoleonic jewels being
stolen during this time, and when there's people got on site,
they were within two hundred and fifty meters of the
Mona Lisa. Now they've taken some I think emerald soded
crown which was Napoleon's Napoleon's wife, and your Princess Eugenia,
Empress Eugenie that's been stolen as well. And the thing
(03:05):
is how they got in high visvest basket lift, these
sort of things. They'll use things, especially when there's construction
occurring in and around a site. It's another vulnerability. So
how we do this things, how we manage these things,
how we manage intelligence around our sites is important. So
the combination of hardware, software and wetware, they're the things
(03:26):
that we need to have in place to enhance the
security and safety of our sites. Now what I mean
by that the combination of physical structures. If there's construction
going on, anytime there's construction going on and around it
increases our vulnerability physical elements, but also from the people
fact that how we're checking, vetting, managing these items as well,
that's an additional strain for the site. So these are
(03:48):
all things that need to be taken into account. When
we say look at your site, you need to look
at it with a fresh set of eyes, not what
you do currently now where you look at your own site.
I don't care whether it's a stadium, whether it's retail, hospitality, healthcare,
critical infrastructure, or whatever. We need to be able to
look at our sites with a fresh set of eyes.
Get outside your habit. We get what we call store
(04:08):
bline with some of these things that we look at.
So we need to be able to have a look
around outside during the day, at night. I mean, this
has been a brazen robbery during the daytime as well,
look at all different times, so we look at our
sites differently and then think regardless of your own physical
ability for jumping and climbing or whatever else. Think understand
as well, it's not just the primary areas that we have.
(04:30):
If people have perception that they may be able to
get to another area through one of these back of
house or low maintenance areas, that's why we're going to
make sure we've got good lighting. Good maintenance is so
important as well. These principles are important for anybody to
look at their site to protect what's important to them.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Who's going to buy these incredibly specific and precious jewels.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Yeah, they've got to go into the dark web.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
The dark web. I just want to say this, if
I turn up tomorrow at work and I'm wearing I
don't know, say Napoleon's wife's brown, just saying, just saying,
don't say anything. I got it through completely legal means,
of course.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Will you come in here and it would be worn
at a jaunty angle.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
And I'll say, I've been down to cash converters and
a guitar.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
I swapped a surf ski for this. Everybody's and a
man is getting on the cutting room floor today. Dads
are great. Largely they just get along with their lives.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
They organize stuff. They don't get much praise. They don't
do anything.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
They've managed to do.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
They organize things I think they do.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
They do a lot of stuff they do. They do
a lot of stuff that goes under the radar. There's
a lot of stuff. Do you know, your cook food,
or you'll fixed stuff, or you'll go and move a
kid's fridge, and you do that largely.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
You know, you just do stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
You might have a hangout, you might have pain, you
might not at all, so you just go on unnoticed.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
But we do have a trouble problem.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
With getting stuff over the line when it comes to
what the kid wants.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
You just want to make your daughter happy.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
And this young girl has told her dad she wanted
a K pop birthday party?
Speaker 4 (06:09):
How did it go?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
So what she wanted was like, you know k pop,
you know the bright stages, the fun outfits, the quirky music.
Dad thought that she met Korean party. So he's looking
at Kim John UN's faces. Come on, So he got
her a cake with Kim John woo.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
She went he went North Korea?
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Yeah, wrong, bad career, who went bad?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
He could have at least gone side.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah, it could have gone side Gangingham style, which is
pretty much K pop.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
But he's gone North Korea to the dictator.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
And so what was would she have a cake.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
With a cake with his head on it?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Was she happy?
Speaker 4 (06:44):
You know?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I think kids would be happy with having a North
Korean dictator on their cake.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
It could put on a balloon. It's shaped like a balloon.
Yeah yeah, yeah, it's not exactly K.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Pop, is it? No? No, no, no, it's it's dictator stuff.
But that's what happens.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Remember when we used to work with Boss Lady Millie
and she went and got her eyebrows done and her
dad walked in and just said, man, you look like
a monster.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
She fled the room in tears, sobbed herself to sleep
on the bed and she was about to go to
a formal or something. So you look like a moment.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Emilie's mum said to her husband at the time they divorced,
since not because of that, said, oh my god, Andrew,
can't you can't you?
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Yeah, you have to say every word that comes into
your head.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Yeah, And that's what happens. I do it my daughter regularly.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
What do you I just thinks like that where you
muck up stuff or you make food and they're never happy.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
They're never happy with anything.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
We went through the stage, as you know, of when
my children were younger, I thought it was a badge
of honor and a duty and a much loved duty
because I love baking. To make their birthday cake. Yes,
when Jack was one and Liam had just turned three,
I thought, oh, this one year old's not going to care.
But I knew there'd be a photo, and so I
thought I might as well just make it out of
polystyrene and put some Smarties on it. But instead, no,
(08:03):
I made a big cake and blah blah blah. But
then Liam when he was three, I mean we got
two circle cakes. Hardly helped me. We put the little
animal and we made a farmyard, put little animals on them,
and they were doing little chocolate poos. We had a
little mirror that had a swan on it like a lake.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
I remember seeing that.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
And then as they got older and got more specific
about wanting things like the Shrek cake, Brendan, I thought
I might need to buy one, and you shamed me.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
I did not shame you.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
You said you have to make your child's own cake.
So you said you'd make a Shrek cake. And this
went on for weeks. We said I've got all the
it's going to be incredible, And I started to get
a bit anxious because I thought it does tap into
how you feel as a parent when someone shames you
and says I'll make the cake. And you said that
you were scared that you'd be that DreamWorks would send
(08:49):
their lawyers over because you're infringing copyright.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
I pult a cease and desist because the likeness.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Was so uncanny, and you didn't know me that well
back then.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
This was like two things.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I gave you the benefit of the dad and the.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Shrek cake, and I remember making it with my daughter Romany,
who was very young, and she was so cute because
she loves.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Baking, and she said, I think it's pretty good, dad.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
And it had a big, gaping sort of chasm in
the top.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
It broke, it split open in the cooking process.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
But that made Shrek's mouth and my life for his nose,
and it was this horrible.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
There was a horrible gargoyle vomit.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
It looked dreadful, and Romany was so sweet she said,
it doesn't look too bad. But then I got into
work and I said to the producer at the time, Peter,
I said, and he said, that looks dreadful, and we
were laughing so much, and then he leaned into the
you know, apparently the Disney people are upset this likeness is.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
So I felt terrible because I thought you've out shown me.
And that's not fair because I loved baking. You didn't
need to beat me in it.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
No, well, you know, and quite fairly you've been outshining
me ever since.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Remember we went to the Sydney Royal Is to show
we both made a cake each to be judged. I
made I think it was a blueberry cake. And you
made a cake and you thought that you just jam
Mars Bars into it, thinking that that would gets you
across the line of the judges. It didn't work for you,
and I've loved that ever since.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
But didn't they say something about your cake being dry?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
What kind of memory?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Do you pretty sure they said your cake was dry?
Very upset when Matt Preston criticized your meat.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Books, I know, no, my krabby patty, are you crazy?
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Love?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
My family still won't watch Matt Preston because of that,
because of that, because I used to make these little
salmon cakes and I called them krabby patties, and he
said they tasted festy, and often he was quite right.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
I tasted fridge.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
I thought I was going to cry, and it's who cares?
But he was so savage food critic and ever since.
But this is a fun I told you, we told
him to. I didn't tell him to go hard.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
You did, I said, go hard.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
God, I can't handle it. But I've never made them since,
and my children have never forgiven him because they loved them,
and they were upset that I was upset. Just goes
to show. Yeah, don't push me.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Has anyone seen Matt Preston lately?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
No, No, where's he emailing a bit festy?
Speaker 7 (11:13):
Hey, hey, everybody, here's some more Jelsey and a mana's
curtain room for Hey, Hey, hey, get ready everybody, Here's
some more Jelsey and a man's curtain room for.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Hey, Hey, hey, are you ready for? The man are
on the cutting room floor today?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
We had such a full show we couldn't get round
to this, and I really wanted to.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
We're talking about conspiracy theories. The whole world is rife
with them at the moment. Political conspiracy theories. I thought
I'd heard most of them, but a couple of really
bonkers ones I've come across, and I thought i'd share
them with you. The first one, You know, we often
talk about time travel. Yep, who knew that we could
time travel thanks to a Rubik's cube. Have a listen
(11:54):
to how it's explained by this fella.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
Rubics cue has been solved faster and faster every year
since it came out, and it won't be long before
they can solve it in negative time, enabling people to
travel backwards in time using a Rubic sque.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
The maker of the Rubic scube.
Speaker 7 (12:09):
Totael intends to use that to travel back in time
to when they manufactured them, and the ones that they've
already sold, they'll take those from the past, bring them
into a present so they can sell them at one
hundred percent profit.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
The problem with this is.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
It's great for capitalism, but that additional weight of all
those ruby scubes will shatter the Earth's mantle, causing the
Yellowstone Volcano to super volcano to erupt, which is going
to send the entire world into a volcanic winter that
could less a century or more.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
So our solution is we're going to create the world.
Speaker 7 (12:35):
Bucks cube, which is a lightweight alternative to the rubic scube.
That lower weight might not chatter to your spantle, and
we can solve it faster. We can travel back in
time before matel get the roob scubes, go back to
the Jurassic era, put them in space and they'll replace.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
The meteor etc. Sounds it sounds legit.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
How can a dinosaur t rex to a rubic scube
It doesn't have the arms.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Can't do it. But also if I can't smoke, that's
a good sign if you were going market.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
It fight really long fight, No maybe a hookah if
you were going she could. If you were going to
go back in time and make a time travel machine,
why would you only go back in time to resell
your Rubik's cubes. Wouldn't you go back in time to
design the car and make all the money from all
the incredible inventions. Wouldn't you go back in time and
(13:21):
design the iPhone? Why would you just go back so
you can resell to the same people Rubik's cube be hard.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Did you see that movie yesterday with the Beatles songs?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yes, So that's a young fella has an accident at
the same time as a worldwide blackout, and for some
reason in this alter turn universe, the Beatles don't exist,
and he's the only person that is aware of that.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
He's a musician.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
But then he starts writing Beatles songs like he starts
because he discovers that his friends don't.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Know who the better. I understand in a way. But
then he had to come up with the Beatles songs.
He had to come up with the lyrics and stuff
like that.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
What's it to do with Rubik's Cubes?
Speaker 2 (13:58):
And that's exactly what you're saying. If you went back,
you might not have the wherewithal to invent the Rubik's Cube.
You might go back in time again. I've got this
idea for this puzzle, but you don't have the mechanical skill.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
No, they're saying. What they're saying is that the Rubik's
Cute people will go back for the sole purpose of
reselling you a Rubik's cub all over again.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
I was going through the yesterday principle of that.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
No, right, what about the Okay, let's move on from.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
There was a time machine and the Rubi's Cube people went.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Back in time to sell us all Rubik's Cue.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
It could be anyone. That could be the car people.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
It could be. But then if you were the Rubik's
Cue people, why don't you go back in time and
use your time machine to make all the other stuff.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
I wish I could go back in time for this.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
See I've got more. I've got more. What about this
conspiracy theory? What listen to this? What if the asteroid
that killed the dinosaurs was a crashed UFO and we
are the aliens? Wow, this is what this conspiracy theory says.
Sixty five million years ago, we were still playing rock set.
An asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs, or at least that's
(15:03):
what we're told. Some theorists ask, what if it wasn't
just a rock. What if that asteroid was a massive
spacecraft crashing from deep space an ancient alien civilization fleeing extinction.
Their ship collides with Earth by accident or on purpose.
(15:23):
The impact changes the planet forever, ending the age of
the dinosaurs, clearing away for mammals and eventually us. So
many of the survivors adapted, maybe their DNA merged and evolved,
eventually leading to humanities we know it today. So we've
been having it off with aliens. We've become aliens if
we've been looking to the stars for aliens when all
(15:44):
along people been the aliens all along.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
You know, I look at you, and I've always wondered
why you have three bosoms.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
And now I know because I'm fun to dance with.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
On the cutting room floor today, I came across.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
A woman talking about something that her fiance boyfriend I
can't remember that he owns.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Are there some modern these days?
Speaker 1 (16:12):
The kids just you know, she finds it absolutely disgusting.
And when I hear her talk about it, and I'll
play it for you in a minute you think, oh,
your princess, how bad is it? Anyway? She is a
name Zebaga.
Speaker 8 (16:22):
Fiance has a pillow that is so horribly disgusting that
I fear even being in the same bed as it.
I fear laying beside it because I think I could
probably catch something from it.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
This man has no pimples on his face laying on
this thing.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
I have no clue how. I can't wash it.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
I can't put the pillow case on it.
Speaker 8 (16:45):
I can't throw it out, God forbid I throw it out.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
I think he's had this thing since the dawn of time. Okay,
you want to see it. It's disgusting and he will
not let me wash it or do anything with it.
I don't think you're.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Ready, but okay, what is this?
Speaker 8 (17:06):
This is absolutely disgusting, and it's his favorite. He's like,
oh my gosh, it's cool on both sides, as hapsy
on both sides.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
It looks terrible.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
You think it's not going to be as bad as
she's alluding to. It is like a brown potato sack.
It's awful. The comments underneath are funny. Is that a
Civil War bandage? Someone says it's cold? Because it's a mold.
Someone else says, was he birthed on it?
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Is?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
That why he's so attached to it? Is he had
these umbilical cords turned into it seems to protect his dreams.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
What's those little scene speaking of?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
That's just the seams of the pillar.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Oh my goodness, it's brown.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
It is brown, and it doesn't have a pillow case
on it. That that is and it's got stains all
over it. Yep, that's disgusting.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
I think there's people sleeping rough with better pillows than that.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Yes. Is Remember the first time Melanie came to stay
at my place and Melanie, we've been friends since we're
about fifteen now. Our parents were friends. We didn't know
each other, and my dad still talks about how shocked
he was when Melanie's parents said they were going overseas
for a couple of months and my mother said, what
doesn't Melanie stay at our place? Mum just went, yeah, right,
(18:21):
he came this girl that I didn't know to stay
at my place, and my grandmother at the time said,
you'll other end up at each other's throats. Are the
best of friends, and here we are absolutely still best friends,
best friends, but on the first night there, she sat
on my bed. She picked up my pillow and she said, oh,
(18:43):
your pillow's got stains on it like mine. I said,
that's yours. And we are now sixty three. That happened
when we were, say, fifteen. I still bring it up
all the time. Are you attached to a pillow?
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Yeah, I've got my spine leaves one with the ridges.
It's got these ridges like a smith's chip.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Do the ridges go on the top of the bottom?
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Now the ridges go on the top? What's the point
of an on the bottom?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Well, what's the point of it on the.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Top, Because your spine molds into it and there's this little.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Stoopy outbite and a shark bite.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
And you slot your neck into it. And I don't
want to be like Stevie Nicks. Did you hear about
Stevie Nicks? When she goes on tour, she.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Takes all the cocaine that.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Someone blows it up a bomb. Apparently she brings her
own mattress, her mattress on a tour. So I went
away last weekend on just a second.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
So you're staying in a hotel, do you put the
mattress on top of the no, she has people who
would replace.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
That that bed with hers, with her mattress.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Oh, come on, I know, what's Stevie Nicks? Yeah, but
what if she's your mate, she just comes over a
sleep comes.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Oh come, excuse me, where's the suitor fed and your mattress?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
But yeah, it's I went away for the weekend and
my neck was killing me because pillows.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Bad pillow. Slept on a bad pillow, I know.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
And some hotels are so high. I stay in a
number of hotels for work and things, and sometimes the
pillows are just so enormous. Give me a break.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
I thought you talked about Stevie Nicks when she said
some coke so high.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
My mother's cousin was a physiotherapist, and so when we
were kids, we had half cut down pillows. I thought
everyone had pillows that were like what I mean, not
half down the middle, half a long ways, like like
you know, so it was.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Less high, Oh, like a reduced volume pillow.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Well, yes, yeah, No, half cut down pillows makes no
sense because what you're talking about is that it was cut.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
A long ways. Not so it was like cutting up
a sandwich. It was cut a long way.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
What I mean it wasn't cut in half, so it
was a thin pillow.
Speaker 7 (20:57):
It was.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
It's it's about it's about the stuffing of the pillow.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
So the pillow was a foamish one, so there wasn't
any stuffing.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
It was time, Yeah, like armies, just something.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
No, did you have big downy pillows when you were kids?
A good lord foot roy. No, it was a foam
like a ton teine arrangement.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
The tone, what about that?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
And because of that, apparently it was supposed to help
our growing necks.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
I saw a taby from human nature one day, just
walking through the shopping center with a shopping trolley and
just a single town telly.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
You have to buy pillows people do? Maybe thought it
was an enormous What are those fruit pillow biscuits?
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Spicy pillow? I never liked them old lady biscuits.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Maybe he thought that was one of those, a really
big one.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know about the spicy fruit.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I don't like them, but I don't like a mince pie.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
What about a granita?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
What's in that?
Speaker 4 (21:56):
It's got there? It's got like a pace and I
was it's got some sort of fluid on it.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Makes it a terrible pillow.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
On the cutting room floor today. This is the stuff
that we couldn't get around to on the show. But
it's so good we need to find a place for it.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
You know.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
We've talked a lot about competitions recently, like the Australian
woman who won the porridge Making International Porridge Making competition
over in Scotland. I think it was she made the
porridge and added some wattle seed, very Australian kinds of things,
then put it in a jaffle. Yeah, toasted sandwich beautiful.
But what about this? In Vegas they have a full
(22:51):
blown cleaning competition. It's the annual Housekeeping Olympics. This is
where teams from hotels, hospitals and facilities battle it out
in a series of high energy cleaning challenges.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Right, what are they doing? What are the sort of
things that they're doing?
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Well, it's like the Super Bowl of I guess there's mops,
there's toilet cleaning, there's bed changing.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
There are certain chores where.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
We rock, where we rock at someone bad at others.
I could never do douner changing.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Well, I had to do that.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
When I first started working in hospitality, I was working
in housekeeping at a resort down the snow, and one
of my jobs was housekeeping in the morning, kitchen hand
at night.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Did you see mankey bed things?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Oh yeah, yeah, a lot of strange devices and things
like that, just sitting on bedside tables, but just.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Doing the donner thing.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
And have you got a skill?
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Yeah, there is once you once you learn it.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
You've got the diner inside out to cover inside out,
and then you just put each corner of the doner
and you flip it and it all goes bloom and
it's quite extraordinary.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
You have to have a big armspan, you have to
be Freddy Krueger.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Well, these we were using a lot of single doners
down so they had single doners, which that's a walk
in the park.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
The double doners hard. We have a queen sized dinner
at home. That's a bit better, a bit bigger.
Speaker 8 (24:13):
So.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
But my wife she did housekeeping as well, so that's
how we actually met doing the housekeeping.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Really what was it the doner?
Speaker 4 (24:24):
It was the well, she worked in the bottleshelp so
she would have seen you a lot.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
So when I when we were doing that, and an
she would work in the bottleshelf and I'd work in
the kitchen, but we weren't together back then.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
We were the youngest people at the rest.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
I see, so what's your domestic skill? What could you
compete in them? Apart from the doner's come.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Because I worked in the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Definitely kitchen stuff, cleaning the kitchen, doing the dishwasher, getting
the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Men men see it as a tetris challenge, and men
of all the domestic chores. I think men like the dishwasher.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Women don't understand the dishwasher. I think.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
I think they look at it and they go, I'm
going to put a chopping board and a colander and
I'll just leave all this stuff to soak until tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
There's no need for that.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
I think that would work very well. It's just that
men come in and say, leave the boot of the
car to me, leave the dish washer to me.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
Women can't pack a car either.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
I think they can. Maybe we do have different stresslo
and they can do it, but they do it differently.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
That's why you don't see female baggage handlers because if
you if they did it, they'd be like a surfboard
in the whole baggage section and that'd be it.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
One surfboard sideways.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Ask me my skill?
Speaker 4 (25:30):
What's your skill?
Speaker 1 (25:32):
When clothes are in the dryer, I can get them
out just before they're completely dry, so I can fold
them and put them away or hang them so they don't.
You know, if you leave it in the dryer too long,
they lie there in knee ironing. Not long enough. You
put them away as slightly damp, which is horrible. I've
got the knack of finding just the right moment.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
That is quite the skill. So you did so before
the timer goes off.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
There's no timer what you drive?
Speaker 4 (25:59):
You don't even have a timer on your dry I've
got a.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Dry that senses when it's drying. Or do you go
to the clothesline and expect it to call out to you.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
I'm done now? But so you sense it. You walk
past your laundry, well, I know what.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Time I've put it in, and I sort of get
a sense of when it's time to open it up.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Did your mother say to you that you did yourself
a disservice with your laundry?
Speaker 8 (26:23):
Yeh.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
When we renovated our house, which is twenty five years ago.
Because in her day, the laundry was an entire room
and women spend a lot of their time in it.
To have a laundry that's just a small room and
it's not a cupboard. A lot of people have that.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
I've had the cupboard laundry before.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Yeah, but mum of course wanted a space whether you
could put up an ironing board where you could hang things.
Modern families don't really do that anymore.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
No, my house, my current house, as a massive laundry.
It's almost like I don't know why, but it's huge.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
You spend a lot of time in it.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
I walk through it and have a look at you.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
You walk through it like it's the loo.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
It's a sort of laundry that could have a toilet
in there as well. It's that big. I often but
it feels like it's something missing.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Why would you put a toilet in your launch lot.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Of people have a toilet in their laundry.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
People have a laundry in a bathroom. They don't just
have put a toilet in their laundry.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Know, you got the laundry and you've got the toilet.
My toilet, My toilet is that big. My laundry call
a bath. My laundry is that it's got one of
those robin hood ironing stations. Have you seen those?
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Is that like those things from the fifties that come
out from the wall.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Yeah, but this is not from the fifties.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
My house was built in two thousand, so it must
have been the last of the Robin hood ironing.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
So is this an ironing station like you might see
in a small hotel.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
It comes down from the wall, yep.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
And it's got a light, it's got a PowerPoint.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
It's got an area to put your preen and your
fabulon and a little water cannister.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Still use fabulon, And.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
I'll ask my wife. And there's a timer so you
can set the timer. It's going to do you well,
it's got an hour time and so you're not timing
for ironing for too long.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
So I say to her, I said, just said it
for twenty minutes. You don't want to be ironing for long.
To her, I am so good to her, particularly when
I put a toilet in.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
It is that because after twenty minutes, chester go out
and start cooking dinner.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Which banding together overybody as for today one that.
Speaker 3 (28:22):

Speaker 3 (00:21):
Lineasts.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
On the cutting room floor, everyone's talking about the priceless
jewels stolen at the Louver.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
The Louver.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
You said it this morning that in a way, there's
some sort of fascination for the bad guy here, isn't it.
It does sound like a movie, very brazen. Nine point
thirty in the morning. The louver was open when these
priceless things were stolen. I think one of Napoleon's wife's crowns,
a heavily bejeweled piece, was found on the side of
(01:17):
the road as they made their getaway, so they dropped
that on the way past. But at the time when
we've recorded this, no more information about who they were
or exactly how they did it. It's quite extraordinary.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
You often wonder about you see those stories, you know,
Ocean's Eleven and All the Jewels, heis Itaian Job, all
those great movies, and there is you're always rooting for
the bad guy who's stealing the jewels.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
So in a way, when this actually.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Happens in real life, you think, can people pull this
stuff off?
Speaker 4 (01:47):
But it's easier than you think, and you remember.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Me see than you think.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Well, I reckon.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
These guys, for example, were very professional. But Scott Taylor,
we've had Scott on the show before and this is
his assessment of the situation.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
A couple of quick thoughts because obviously we've just heard
about the robbery that's occurred at the Loop. They're formula
daylight operation that occurred there illustrates a number of principles
and things that I share with my clients Regularly. People
with bad intent look at your site a different way
than you do.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Whilst we may.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Look, especially if you're a service type area or the
different type of structures that we have, we look a
front of house and sometimes the vulnerabilities back of house
like loading docks and whatever. I do walk arounds with
my clients for checking their sites, and then I say, okay,
let's talk about American Ninja Warrior and about for platforming
and these are the things. Now, let's do another walk around,
(02:41):
and they always find out new things about their sites.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
Now.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
The thing is, we've had some priceless Napoleonic jewels being
stolen during this time, and when there's people got on site,
they were within two hundred and fifty meters of the
Mona Lisa. Now they've taken some I think emerald soded
crown which was Napoleon's Napoleon's wife, and your Princess Eugenia,
Empress Eugenie that's been stolen as well. And the thing
(03:05):
is how they got in high visvest basket lift, these
sort of things. They'll use things, especially when there's construction
occurring in and around a site. It's another vulnerability. So
how we do this things, how we manage these things,
how we manage intelligence around our sites is important. So
the combination of hardware, software and wetware, they're the things
(03:26):
that we need to have in place to enhance the
security and safety of our sites. Now what I mean
by that the combination of physical structures. If there's construction
going on, anytime there's construction going on and around it
increases our vulnerability physical elements, but also from the people
fact that how we're checking, vetting, managing these items as well,
that's an additional strain for the site. So these are
(03:48):
all things that need to be taken into account. When
we say look at your site, you need to look
at it with a fresh set of eyes, not what
you do currently now where you look at your own site.
I don't care whether it's a stadium, whether it's retail, hospitality, healthcare,
critical infrastructure, or whatever. We need to be able to
look at our sites with a fresh set of eyes.
Get outside your habit. We get what we call store
(04:08):
bline with some of these things that we look at.
So we need to be able to have a look
around outside during the day, at night. I mean, this
has been a brazen robbery during the daytime as well,
look at all different times, so we look at our
sites differently and then think regardless of your own physical
ability for jumping and climbing or whatever else. Think understand
as well, it's not just the primary areas that we have.
(04:30):
If people have perception that they may be able to
get to another area through one of these back of
house or low maintenance areas, that's why we're going to
make sure we've got good lighting. Good maintenance is so
important as well. These principles are important for anybody to
look at their site to protect what's important to them.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Who's going to buy these incredibly specific and precious jewels.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Yeah, they've got to go into the dark web.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
The dark web. I just want to say this, if
I turn up tomorrow at work and I'm wearing I
don't know, say Napoleon's wife's brown, just saying, just saying,
don't say anything. I got it through completely legal means,
of course.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Will you come in here and it would be worn
at a jaunty angle.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
And I'll say, I've been down to cash converters and
a guitar.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
I swapped a surf ski for this. Everybody's and a
man is getting on the cutting room floor today. Dads
are great. Largely they just get along with their lives.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
They organize stuff. They don't get much praise. They don't
do anything.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
They've managed to do.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
They organize things I think they do.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
They do a lot of stuff they do. They do
a lot of stuff that goes under the radar. There's
a lot of stuff. Do you know, your cook food,
or you'll fixed stuff, or you'll go and move a
kid's fridge, and you do that largely.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
You know, you just do stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
You might have a hangout, you might have pain, you
might not at all, so you just go on unnoticed.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
But we do have a trouble problem.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
With getting stuff over the line when it comes to
what the kid wants.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
You just want to make your daughter happy.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
And this young girl has told her dad she wanted
a K pop birthday party?
Speaker 4 (06:09):
How did it go?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
So what she wanted was like, you know k pop,
you know the bright stages, the fun outfits, the quirky music.
Dad thought that she met Korean party. So he's looking
at Kim John UN's faces. Come on, So he got
her a cake with Kim John woo.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
She went he went North Korea?
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Yeah, wrong, bad career, who went bad?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
He could have at least gone side.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah, it could have gone side Gangingham style, which is
pretty much K pop.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
But he's gone North Korea to the dictator.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
And so what was would she have a cake.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
With a cake with his head on it?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Was she happy?
Speaker 4 (06:44):
You know?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I think kids would be happy with having a North
Korean dictator on their cake.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
It could put on a balloon. It's shaped like a balloon.
Yeah yeah, yeah, it's not exactly K.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Pop, is it? No? No, no, no, it's it's dictator stuff.
But that's what happens.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Remember when we used to work with Boss Lady Millie
and she went and got her eyebrows done and her
dad walked in and just said, man, you look like
a monster.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
She fled the room in tears, sobbed herself to sleep
on the bed and she was about to go to
a formal or something. So you look like a moment.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Emilie's mum said to her husband at the time they divorced,
since not because of that, said, oh my god, Andrew,
can't you can't you?
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Yeah, you have to say every word that comes into
your head.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Yeah, And that's what happens. I do it my daughter regularly.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
What do you I just thinks like that where you
muck up stuff or you make food and they're never happy.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
They're never happy with anything.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
We went through the stage, as you know, of when
my children were younger, I thought it was a badge
of honor and a duty and a much loved duty
because I love baking. To make their birthday cake. Yes,
when Jack was one and Liam had just turned three,
I thought, oh, this one year old's not going to care.
But I knew there'd be a photo, and so I
thought I might as well just make it out of
polystyrene and put some Smarties on it. But instead, no,
(08:03):
I made a big cake and blah blah blah. But
then Liam when he was three, I mean we got
two circle cakes. Hardly helped me. We put the little
animal and we made a farmyard, put little animals on them,
and they were doing little chocolate poos. We had a
little mirror that had a swan on it like a lake.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
I remember seeing that.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
And then as they got older and got more specific
about wanting things like the Shrek cake, Brendan, I thought
I might need to buy one, and you shamed me.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
I did not shame you.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
You said you have to make your child's own cake.
So you said you'd make a Shrek cake. And this
went on for weeks. We said I've got all the
it's going to be incredible, And I started to get
a bit anxious because I thought it does tap into
how you feel as a parent when someone shames you
and says I'll make the cake. And you said that
you were scared that you'd be that DreamWorks would send
(08:49):
their lawyers over because you're infringing copyright.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
I pult a cease and desist because the likeness.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Was so uncanny, and you didn't know me that well
back then.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
This was like two things.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I gave you the benefit of the dad and the.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Shrek cake, and I remember making it with my daughter Romany,
who was very young, and she was so cute because
she loves.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Baking, and she said, I think it's pretty good, dad.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
And it had a big, gaping sort of chasm in
the top.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
It broke, it split open in the cooking process.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
But that made Shrek's mouth and my life for his nose,
and it was this horrible.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
There was a horrible gargoyle vomit.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
It looked dreadful, and Romany was so sweet she said,
it doesn't look too bad. But then I got into
work and I said to the producer at the time, Peter,
I said, and he said, that looks dreadful, and we
were laughing so much, and then he leaned into the
you know, apparently the Disney people are upset this likeness is.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
So I felt terrible because I thought you've out shown me.
And that's not fair because I loved baking. You didn't
need to beat me in it.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
No, well, you know, and quite fairly you've been outshining
me ever since.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Remember we went to the Sydney Royal Is to show
we both made a cake each to be judged. I
made I think it was a blueberry cake. And you
made a cake and you thought that you just jam
Mars Bars into it, thinking that that would gets you
across the line of the judges. It didn't work for you,
and I've loved that ever since.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
But didn't they say something about your cake being dry?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
What kind of memory?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Do you pretty sure they said your cake was dry?
Very upset when Matt Preston criticized your meat.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Books, I know, no, my krabby patty, are you crazy?
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Love?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
My family still won't watch Matt Preston because of that,
because of that, because I used to make these little
salmon cakes and I called them krabby patties, and he
said they tasted festy, and often he was quite right.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
I tasted fridge.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
I thought I was going to cry, and it's who cares?
But he was so savage food critic and ever since.
But this is a fun I told you, we told
him to. I didn't tell him to go hard.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
You did, I said, go hard.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
God, I can't handle it. But I've never made them since,
and my children have never forgiven him because they loved them,
and they were upset that I was upset. Just goes
to show. Yeah, don't push me.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Has anyone seen Matt Preston lately?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
No, No, where's he emailing a bit festy?
Speaker 7 (11:13):
Hey, hey, everybody, here's some more Jelsey and a mana's
curtain room for Hey, Hey, hey, get ready everybody, Here's
some more Jelsey and a man's curtain room for.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Hey, Hey, hey, are you ready for? The man are
on the cutting room floor today?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
We had such a full show we couldn't get round
to this, and I really wanted to.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
We're talking about conspiracy theories. The whole world is rife
with them at the moment. Political conspiracy theories. I thought
I'd heard most of them, but a couple of really
bonkers ones I've come across, and I thought i'd share
them with you. The first one, You know, we often
talk about time travel. Yep, who knew that we could
time travel thanks to a Rubik's cube. Have a listen
(11:54):
to how it's explained by this fella.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
Rubics cue has been solved faster and faster every year
since it came out, and it won't be long before
they can solve it in negative time, enabling people to
travel backwards in time using a Rubic sque.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
The maker of the Rubic scube.
Speaker 7 (12:09):
Totael intends to use that to travel back in time
to when they manufactured them, and the ones that they've
already sold, they'll take those from the past, bring them
into a present so they can sell them at one
hundred percent profit.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
The problem with this is.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
It's great for capitalism, but that additional weight of all
those ruby scubes will shatter the Earth's mantle, causing the
Yellowstone Volcano to super volcano to erupt, which is going
to send the entire world into a volcanic winter that
could less a century or more.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
So our solution is we're going to create the world.
Speaker 7 (12:35):
Bucks cube, which is a lightweight alternative to the rubic scube.
That lower weight might not chatter to your spantle, and
we can solve it faster. We can travel back in
time before matel get the roob scubes, go back to
the Jurassic era, put them in space and they'll replace.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
The meteor etc. Sounds it sounds legit.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
How can a dinosaur t rex to a rubic scube
It doesn't have the arms.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Can't do it. But also if I can't smoke, that's
a good sign if you were going market.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
It fight really long fight, No maybe a hookah if
you were going she could. If you were going to
go back in time and make a time travel machine,
why would you only go back in time to resell
your Rubik's cubes. Wouldn't you go back in time to
design the car and make all the money from all
the incredible inventions. Wouldn't you go back in time and
(13:21):
design the iPhone? Why would you just go back so
you can resell to the same people Rubik's cube be hard.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Did you see that movie yesterday with the Beatles songs?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yes, So that's a young fella has an accident at
the same time as a worldwide blackout, and for some
reason in this alter turn universe, the Beatles don't exist,
and he's the only person that is aware of that.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
He's a musician.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
But then he starts writing Beatles songs like he starts
because he discovers that his friends don't.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Know who the better. I understand in a way. But
then he had to come up with the Beatles songs.
He had to come up with the lyrics and stuff
like that.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
What's it to do with Rubik's Cubes?
Speaker 2 (13:58):
And that's exactly what you're saying. If you went back,
you might not have the wherewithal to invent the Rubik's Cube.
You might go back in time again. I've got this
idea for this puzzle, but you don't have the mechanical skill.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
No, they're saying. What they're saying is that the Rubik's
Cute people will go back for the sole purpose of
reselling you a Rubik's cub all over again.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
I was going through the yesterday principle of that.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
No, right, what about the Okay, let's move on from.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
There was a time machine and the Rubi's Cube people went.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Back in time to sell us all Rubik's Cue.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
It could be anyone. That could be the car people.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
It could be. But then if you were the Rubik's
Cue people, why don't you go back in time and
use your time machine to make all the other stuff.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
I wish I could go back in time for this.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
See I've got more. I've got more. What about this
conspiracy theory? What listen to this? What if the asteroid
that killed the dinosaurs was a crashed UFO and we
are the aliens? Wow, this is what this conspiracy theory says.
Sixty five million years ago, we were still playing rock set.
An asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs, or at least that's
(15:03):
what we're told. Some theorists ask, what if it wasn't
just a rock. What if that asteroid was a massive
spacecraft crashing from deep space an ancient alien civilization fleeing extinction.
Their ship collides with Earth by accident or on purpose.
(15:23):
The impact changes the planet forever, ending the age of
the dinosaurs, clearing away for mammals and eventually us. So
many of the survivors adapted, maybe their DNA merged and evolved,
eventually leading to humanities we know it today. So we've
been having it off with aliens. We've become aliens if
we've been looking to the stars for aliens when all
(15:44):
along people been the aliens all along.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
You know, I look at you, and I've always wondered
why you have three bosoms.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
And now I know because I'm fun to dance with.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
On the cutting room floor today, I came across.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
A woman talking about something that her fiance boyfriend I
can't remember that he owns.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Are there some modern these days?
Speaker 1 (16:12):
The kids just you know, she finds it absolutely disgusting.
And when I hear her talk about it, and I'll
play it for you in a minute you think, oh,
your princess, how bad is it? Anyway? She is a
name Zebaga.
Speaker 8 (16:22):
Fiance has a pillow that is so horribly disgusting that
I fear even being in the same bed as it.
I fear laying beside it because I think I could
probably catch something from it.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
This man has no pimples on his face laying on
this thing.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
I have no clue how. I can't wash it.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
I can't put the pillow case on it.
Speaker 8 (16:45):
I can't throw it out, God forbid I throw it out.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
I think he's had this thing since the dawn of time. Okay,
you want to see it. It's disgusting and he will
not let me wash it or do anything with it.
I don't think you're.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Ready, but okay, what is this?
Speaker 8 (17:06):
This is absolutely disgusting, and it's his favorite. He's like,
oh my gosh, it's cool on both sides, as hapsy
on both sides.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
It looks terrible.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
You think it's not going to be as bad as
she's alluding to. It is like a brown potato sack.
It's awful. The comments underneath are funny. Is that a
Civil War bandage? Someone says it's cold? Because it's a mold.
Someone else says, was he birthed on it?
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Is?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
That why he's so attached to it? Is he had
these umbilical cords turned into it seems to protect his dreams.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
What's those little scene speaking of?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
That's just the seams of the pillar.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Oh my goodness, it's brown.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
It is brown, and it doesn't have a pillow case
on it. That that is and it's got stains all
over it. Yep, that's disgusting.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
I think there's people sleeping rough with better pillows than that.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Yes. Is Remember the first time Melanie came to stay
at my place and Melanie, we've been friends since we're
about fifteen now. Our parents were friends. We didn't know
each other, and my dad still talks about how shocked
he was when Melanie's parents said they were going overseas
for a couple of months and my mother said, what
doesn't Melanie stay at our place? Mum just went, yeah, right,
(18:21):
he came this girl that I didn't know to stay
at my place, and my grandmother at the time said,
you'll other end up at each other's throats. Are the
best of friends, and here we are absolutely still best friends,
best friends, but on the first night there, she sat
on my bed. She picked up my pillow and she said, oh,
(18:43):
your pillow's got stains on it like mine. I said,
that's yours. And we are now sixty three. That happened
when we were, say, fifteen. I still bring it up
all the time. Are you attached to a pillow?
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Yeah, I've got my spine leaves one with the ridges.
It's got these ridges like a smith's chip.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Do the ridges go on the top of the bottom?
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Now the ridges go on the top? What's the point
of an on the bottom?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Well, what's the point of it on the.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Top, Because your spine molds into it and there's this little.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Stoopy outbite and a shark bite.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
And you slot your neck into it. And I don't
want to be like Stevie Nicks. Did you hear about
Stevie Nicks? When she goes on tour, she.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Takes all the cocaine that.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Someone blows it up a bomb. Apparently she brings her
own mattress, her mattress on a tour. So I went
away last weekend on just a second.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
So you're staying in a hotel, do you put the
mattress on top of the no, she has people who
would replace.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
That that bed with hers, with her mattress.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Oh, come on, I know, what's Stevie Nicks? Yeah, but
what if she's your mate, she just comes over a
sleep comes.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Oh come, excuse me, where's the suitor fed and your mattress?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
But yeah, it's I went away for the weekend and
my neck was killing me because pillows.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Bad pillow. Slept on a bad pillow, I know.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
And some hotels are so high. I stay in a
number of hotels for work and things, and sometimes the
pillows are just so enormous. Give me a break.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
I thought you talked about Stevie Nicks when she said
some coke so high.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
My mother's cousin was a physiotherapist, and so when we
were kids, we had half cut down pillows. I thought
everyone had pillows that were like what I mean, not
half down the middle, half a long ways, like like
you know, so it was.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Less high, Oh, like a reduced volume pillow.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Well, yes, yeah, No, half cut down pillows makes no
sense because what you're talking about is that it was cut.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
A long ways. Not so it was like cutting up
a sandwich. It was cut a long way.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
What I mean it wasn't cut in half, so it
was a thin pillow.
Speaker 7 (20:57):
It was.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
It's it's about it's about the stuffing of the pillow.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
So the pillow was a foamish one, so there wasn't
any stuffing.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
It was time, Yeah, like armies, just something.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
No, did you have big downy pillows when you were kids?
A good lord foot roy. No, it was a foam
like a ton teine arrangement.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
The tone, what about that?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
And because of that, apparently it was supposed to help
our growing necks.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
I saw a taby from human nature one day, just
walking through the shopping center with a shopping trolley and
just a single town telly.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
You have to buy pillows people do? Maybe thought it
was an enormous What are those fruit pillow biscuits?
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Spicy pillow? I never liked them old lady biscuits.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Maybe he thought that was one of those, a really
big one.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know about the spicy fruit.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I don't like them, but I don't like a mince pie.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
What about a granita?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
What's in that?
Speaker 4 (21:56):
It's got there? It's got like a pace and I
was it's got some sort of fluid on it.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Makes it a terrible pillow.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
On the cutting room floor today. This is the stuff
that we couldn't get around to on the show. But
it's so good we need to find a place for it.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
You know.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
We've talked a lot about competitions recently, like the Australian
woman who won the porridge Making International Porridge Making competition
over in Scotland. I think it was she made the
porridge and added some wattle seed, very Australian kinds of things,
then put it in a jaffle. Yeah, toasted sandwich beautiful.
But what about this? In Vegas they have a full
(22:51):
blown cleaning competition. It's the annual Housekeeping Olympics. This is
where teams from hotels, hospitals and facilities battle it out
in a series of high energy cleaning challenges.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Right, what are they doing? What are the sort of
things that they're doing?
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Well, it's like the Super Bowl of I guess there's mops,
there's toilet cleaning, there's bed changing.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
There are certain chores where.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
We rock, where we rock at someone bad at others.
I could never do douner changing.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Well, I had to do that.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
When I first started working in hospitality, I was working
in housekeeping at a resort down the snow, and one
of my jobs was housekeeping in the morning, kitchen hand
at night.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Did you see mankey bed things?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Oh yeah, yeah, a lot of strange devices and things
like that, just sitting on bedside tables, but just.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Doing the donner thing.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
And have you got a skill?
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Yeah, there is once you once you learn it.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
You've got the diner inside out to cover inside out,
and then you just put each corner of the doner
and you flip it and it all goes bloom and
it's quite extraordinary.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
You have to have a big armspan, you have to
be Freddy Krueger.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Well, these we were using a lot of single doners
down so they had single doners, which that's a walk
in the park.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
The double doners hard. We have a queen sized dinner
at home. That's a bit better, a bit bigger.
Speaker 8 (24:13):
So.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
But my wife she did housekeeping as well, so that's
how we actually met doing the housekeeping.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Really what was it the doner?
Speaker 4 (24:24):
It was the well, she worked in the bottleshelp so
she would have seen you a lot.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
So when I when we were doing that, and an
she would work in the bottleshelf and I'd work in
the kitchen, but we weren't together back then.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
We were the youngest people at the rest.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
I see, so what's your domestic skill? What could you
compete in them? Apart from the doner's come.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Because I worked in the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Definitely kitchen stuff, cleaning the kitchen, doing the dishwasher, getting
the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Men men see it as a tetris challenge, and men
of all the domestic chores. I think men like the dishwasher.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Women don't understand the dishwasher. I think.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
I think they look at it and they go, I'm
going to put a chopping board and a colander and
I'll just leave all this stuff to soak until tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
There's no need for that.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
I think that would work very well. It's just that
men come in and say, leave the boot of the
car to me, leave the dish washer to me.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
Women can't pack a car either.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
I think they can. Maybe we do have different stresslo
and they can do it, but they do it differently.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
That's why you don't see female baggage handlers because if
you if they did it, they'd be like a surfboard
in the whole baggage section and that'd be it.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
One surfboard sideways.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Ask me my skill?
Speaker 4 (25:30):
What's your skill?
Speaker 1 (25:32):
When clothes are in the dryer, I can get them
out just before they're completely dry, so I can fold
them and put them away or hang them so they don't.
You know, if you leave it in the dryer too long,
they lie there in knee ironing. Not long enough. You
put them away as slightly damp, which is horrible. I've
got the knack of finding just the right moment.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
That is quite the skill. So you did so before
the timer goes off.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
There's no timer what you drive?
Speaker 4 (25:59):
You don't even have a timer on your dry I've
got a.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Dry that senses when it's drying. Or do you go
to the clothesline and expect it to call out to you.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
I'm done now? But so you sense it. You walk
past your laundry, well, I know what.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Time I've put it in, and I sort of get
a sense of when it's time to open it up.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Did your mother say to you that you did yourself
a disservice with your laundry?
Speaker 8 (26:23):
Yeh.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
When we renovated our house, which is twenty five years ago.
Because in her day, the laundry was an entire room
and women spend a lot of their time in it.
To have a laundry that's just a small room and
it's not a cupboard. A lot of people have that.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
I've had the cupboard laundry before.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Yeah, but mum of course wanted a space whether you
could put up an ironing board where you could hang things.
Modern families don't really do that anymore.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
No, my house, my current house, as a massive laundry.
It's almost like I don't know why, but it's huge.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
You spend a lot of time in it.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
I walk through it and have a look at you.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
You walk through it like it's the loo.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
It's a sort of laundry that could have a toilet
in there as well. It's that big. I often but
it feels like it's something missing.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Why would you put a toilet in your launch lot.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Of people have a toilet in their laundry.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
People have a laundry in a bathroom. They don't just
have put a toilet in their laundry.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Know, you got the laundry and you've got the toilet.
My toilet, My toilet is that big. My laundry call
a bath. My laundry is that it's got one of
those robin hood ironing stations. Have you seen those?
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Is that like those things from the fifties that come
out from the wall.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Yeah, but this is not from the fifties.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
My house was built in two thousand, so it must
have been the last of the Robin hood ironing.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
So is this an ironing station like you might see
in a small hotel.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
It comes down from the wall, yep.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
And it's got a light, it's got a PowerPoint.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
It's got an area to put your preen and your
fabulon and a little water cannister.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Still use fabulon, And.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
I'll ask my wife. And there's a timer so you
can set the timer. It's going to do you well,
it's got an hour time and so you're not timing
for ironing for too long.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
So I say to her, I said, just said it
for twenty minutes. You don't want to be ironing for long.
To her, I am so good to her, particularly when
I put a toilet in.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
It is that because after twenty minutes, chester go out
and start cooking dinner.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Which banding together overybody as for today one that.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
For some more Jonesy and nmanas fary floor

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
