Speaker 3 (00:17):
App On the cutting room floor today, this is the
stuff that we couldn't get around to on the show.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
But it's so good we need to find a place
for it.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
You know.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
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.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Yeah, toasted sandwich.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Beautiful.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
But what about this?
Speaker 1 (00:48):
In Vegas they have a full blown cleaning competition.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
It's the annual Housekeeping Olympics.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
This is where teams from hotels, hospitals and facilities battled
it out in a series of high energy cleaning challenges.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Right, what are they doing? What are the sort of
things that they're doing?
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Well, it's like the super Bowl of clean I guess
there's mops, there's toilet cleaning, the bed changing.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
There are certain chores where.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
We rock, where we rock at someone bad at others
I could never do. Douner changing.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Well, I had to do that.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
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 4 (01:34):
Did you see mankey bed things?
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Oh yeah, yeah, a lot of strange devices and things
like that, just sitting on bedside tables.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
But just doing the doner thing.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
And have you got a skill?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah, there is once you once you learn it.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
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 4 (01:58):
You have to have a big armspan, you have to
be Freddy Krugeer.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Well, we were using a lot of single dooners down
so they had single dooners, which that's a walk in
the park.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
The double doner is hard.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
We have a queen sized dinner at home that's a
bit better, a bit bigger.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
So.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
But my wife she did housekeeping as well, so that's
how we actually met doing the housekeeping.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Really, what was it the doner?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
It was the well she worked in the bottle shehelp.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
So she would have seen you a lot.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
So when I when we were doing that and a night,
she would work in the bottleshelf and I'd work in
the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
But we weren't together back then. We were the youngest
people at the rest.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I see, so, what's your domestic skill? What could you
compete in the Olympics with? Apart from the doner's come.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Because I worked in the kitchen.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Definitely kitchen stuff, cleaning the kitchen, doing the dishwasher, getting
the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Men men see it as a tetris challenge men of
all the domestic chores.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
I think men like the dishwasher.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Women don't understand the dishwasher. I think.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
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 2 (03:06):
There's no need for that.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
I think that would work very well.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
It's just that men come in and say, leave the
boot of the car to me, leave the dish washer
to me.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Women can't pack a car either.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
I think they can.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Maybe we do have different stress and they can do it,
but they do it differently.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
That's why you don't see female baggage handlers. Because if you.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
If they did it, they'd be like a surfboard in
the whole baggage section, and that'd be it.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
One surfboard sideways.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Ask me my skill?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
What's your skill?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
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 3 (03:52):
That is quite the skill you so before the timer
goes off.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
There's no timer what you drive?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
You don't even have a timer on your dry I've.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Got a dry that sensors when it's drying. Or do
you go to the clothesline and expect it to call
out to you I'm done now?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
But so you sense it. You walk past your laundry.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Well, I know what time I've put it in, and
I sort of get a sense of when it's time
to open it up.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Did your mother say to you that you did yourself
a disservice with your laundry.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
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 2 (04:35):
I've had the cupboard laundry before, but.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
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 3 (04:47):
No, my house, my current house, has a massive laundry.
It's almost like I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
But it's huge.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Do you spend a lot of time in it?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I walk through it and have a look at you.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
You walk through it like it's the loof, But.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
It's a sort of laundry that could have a toilet
in there as well. It's that big. I often it
feels like it's something missing.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Why would you put a toilet in your Look the
people have a toilet in their laundry. People have a
laundry in a bathroom. They don't just put a toilet
in their laundry.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Know, you got the laundry and you got the toilet.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
My toy, my toilet is that big, my laundry bath,
my laundry is that it's got one of those robin
Hood ironing stations.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Have you seen those?
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Is that like those things from the fifties that come
out from the wall.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, but this is not from the fifties.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
My house was built in two thousand, so I must
have been the last of the robin Hood ironing So is.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
This an ironing station like you might see in a
small hotel. Yeah, it comes down from the wall, yep.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
And it's got a light, it's got a PowerPoint, it's
got an area to put your preen and your fabulon
and a little water cannister.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Still use fabulon, And I'll ask my wife.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
And there's a timer so you can set the timer
it's going to do you need to? Well, it's got
an hour time and so you're not timing for ironing
for too long. So I say to her, I say,
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 there.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Is that because after twenty minutes, just to go out
and start cooking dinner.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Wish to bind it together?
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Okay, kids, step it for today, come back tomorrow for
more Jonesy

The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
