Speaker 3 (00:23):
On the cutting room floor today, did just see the
story about this guy?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
He's built a Lego project. Incredibly impressive.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
He spent two hundred thousand dollars, but it's cost him
not just financially but personally. He's had two divorces because
of his obsession with Lego.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Describe the Lego project? What do you get for two
hundred thousand dollars?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
He's built a replica of the Star Wars Battle of Gionosis.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Oh my god, what's that?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Over fifteen foot long? And it is amazing.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
It's got the clones being made, it's got everything in there,
and it's all proportionately correct and great.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
So I'm just looking at this story here.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Two hundred thousand dollars yep, cost him his marriages, two marriages.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah, marriages, go on down the train because he's love
of the little brick.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
You know what, this story isn't real. I've just verified it.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
What's weird is that this man has made this Lego
project and it cost him over two hundred thousand dollars.
The shock of this is it hasn't cost him his marriages. No,
I don't know if he's married. But this is one
of those made up stories. But weirdly, the real part
of it is real. He has spent two hundred thousand
dollars and made what did you call it?
Speaker 4 (01:38):
The Star Wars? What is it?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
The Battle of Gionosis?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Are you disappointed that his marriages haven't ended? I'm shocked
that he might still be in a relationships.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I looked at you, I looked at this story. But
he's got a girl.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Well, but you know you like train set.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I love trains.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
If it was a two hundred thousand dollars train set
that was over fifteen feet long, you'd say, how brilliant.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
So why is this nerdy?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
And that's not train sets aren't nerdy?
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Oh my god, are you joking? You and Rod Stewart,
he's obsessed with them.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
He's got a great train set. He was on the
front of Train Modelers Monthly.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
In the nude. It was a very good front.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I had a great train set. I had a really
good train set.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
And what era did you have it? And what was
it made of?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I was young. It started off just with a layout,
the flat board and.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
It was the old school one.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yeah, the dad put together for me, and I just
had the trains going around. But then I discovered chicken
wire and plastra.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Apparents your love of a diorama.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Yeah, and it just and I started.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I made a mountain range, and then I started making
more mountain range. And then one day Dad said to me,
he said, you've got more mountain range than train. I'd
covered the whole had the alps. There was literally a
foot of train track left. Everything was just And then
one of the dad's mates came to look at it.
He said, that's impressive, but you have no idea what
train's in there. There could be anything.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Why didn't you make the mountain range beside the train
I had?
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Why did the train have to be underneath it?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Because it's in a tunnel and I have the little
tunnel and I didn't extend the all to be in
the hanne.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
What are your critic?
Speaker 4 (03:11):
What you working for? Civil engineering? Big? Civil engineering got
to you.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I'm moving mountains. I'm putting mountains back on the track.
And then it all ended with my brother and I
had a huge punch up.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Every story ends with them.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
And we both fell on top of the train set.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Dad came into the root and to separate us, and
he said it looked like Godzilla and some other Jeopanese
king mother wrestling each other on this giant trained layout.
And next it was out on the junkpile.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
That would have been quite painful landing on that chicken wire.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
And the plast for powers. Well, for my brother it
was yeah, what a.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Flex had to tell us that you won? I once
made he wrecked the train set. I once made a
a thing for art at school. You know the King
of Id that soon character the King is a think
I made a replica.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
It was so lifelike it was frightening of the of
who the King of Id?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
And so I made him chicken wire. I'm never good
at craft. I don't like craft.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
You could have used to be gorchy bottle for those.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
I wasn't smoking a bomb that He.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Used a small orchi bottle for that.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
It was this big Look what I'm doing in my hands?
How big is that?
Speaker 3 (04:23):
That's from the table, not from the ground, from the It.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Wasn't like it wasn't the size of me. It's how
big is that?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Okay? From the bench, right about two and a half.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah, so it was big and so chicken wire, paper mache,
and for his hair, strands of yellow wool made the crown. Everything,
handed it in for school, came home. It's the way
I remember it. It wasn't long after came home from
school we had to skip out the front of our
house and that was right at the top of it.
(04:58):
Mumma chucked it out. She was very non sentimental with those.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
That was my year twelve, major work pretty much pretty much.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
And it's out on the skipping. Did anyone take it?
Speaker 4 (05:10):
A in those days, no one stole from your skip
b Who would take that?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
And then you went to university and broke out the
smaller orchy bottle.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Okay, kids, step it for today, come back tomorrow for more.
