Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's sousy and don Man does funny.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
It's so a man skipped work Scottie for six years
(00:33):
and was only found out after he was set to
win an award.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
That's brilliant.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yeah, so this is why King Garcia he's skipped work
for six years.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
No one noticed that he's over in Spain.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
So the Spaniards, you, I don't want to cast dispersions,
but really they don't have the big biggest worker ethic.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Well I don't know about that.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
You see, there might be some very hard working Spaniards around.
I'm sure there are. But this bloke's a bit of
a genius, isn't he six years coping the paycheck?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Yep?
Speaker 4 (01:04):
And he then he got an award and he turned
up and they go, who the hell are you?
Speaker 3 (01:09):
He's worked for the government? Is this is?
Speaker 2 (01:11):
He was a building supervisor for a water treatment plant
in Spain. He worked there for more than twenty years,
and then he just stopped showing up and no one noticed,
and he thought, I'll try my luck, see how long
this goes? For for six years, amazingly at work. The
whole time, he collected his annual salary of forty one
thousand dollars five hundred years.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Over six years. You are very good on the MATSK
two hundred and forty grand. Look at that. Why'd you
a bit over two and forty years? And it's still
that is, mate. Look, I got a tape measure in
my hand. I just had things up all the time.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
I had a young blake that turned up for work
wanting to be an apprentice, and I used to put
them on for a little bit to see how they'd go.
And will was hard work back in those days. And
at about I think it was about eleven o'clock, I
found him asleep in the wardrobe. He'd had a tough morning,
and I said, but I don't think you cut out
for this. You're asleep in the wardrobe after about four hours.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
And you've run a lot of building projects. Well, I
used to, But would you agree? And I've worked as
a labor on many building sites. There's nothing worse when
they've told you to look busy.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Yes, well, I mean we do that on television of it,
you know, like if we've got the cameras rowling and
there's you know, other tradesmen in the background, but they
can't go while we're talking to someone sometimes very rarely.
You know, just look busy, boys, because you can't just
stand there staring at the camera in the background because
you got other trades in there. So just measure something, boys.
I'm only going to be talking for one minute and
(02:37):
then you can get back to work. And because they
want to have start up, they want to start circular
saws and stuff like that, and just look busy. We
always say that, you know, for thirty seconds, and then
then I leave and they can get back into it.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
But it is hard to do that because you measure
things about eight times. Yeah, tape measure in, tape measure out.
I've of fro noticed they're very thorough on the block.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Heck, why does Keith get so then if they're always
measuring everything, Yes.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
That's right, Well that's right. We measure everything five times,
not once. Hey, that's exactly what you do. But I
back in the days when I used.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
To work for a living, I work down at the
resort down the snow and this is when they were
building Blue Couse Ski Resort. Yes, so it was heading
up to the start of the season. Everyone was going
to be there and they just needed laborers to do
a little bit of spackle around the place and if
you could do a little bit of concreting and stuff
like that.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
But we got there.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
They'd hired too many laborers with nothing for us to do,
and they said, look, there's government ministers around.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
You just got to look busy. Yep.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I'd carry a bucket of cement around with me, and
I'd moved the bucket from one door to another.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
It nearly killed me just trying to come up with
stuff to do.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Taxpayer money too, by the way, it was taxpayer money.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
And I have your bludging on the people I have
killed a bad well. I wanted to work. I wanted
to work hard. I wanted to work hard. You're a
work ethic, mate, that's my work ethic. How long you've
been getting up.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
At Bundy three in the morning since two thousand and three?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Yeah, twenty twenty odd years, it is. It's twenty one years,
twenty one years. You know.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
When I first started doing it, I remember, I used
to think I was going to throw up.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
I'd get up out of bed. Now, used to think
I'm just gonna I'm going to kill over.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
It's a tough one, like really hard getting up at
that time. Yeah, and continually doing it forever. And you
know the amount that you drink on a Sunday night,
it must be difficult joking, you don't.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I know you're very responsible.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Thank you, thank you missed under the bus well Mane.
I don't think it's been great talking to you, Scuttie.
Look out for the block that's back on the telly.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
When is it.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
It's coming on after the Olympics on nine and nine now, okay,
and we're keen, we're ready to go. We've done three
months of building and it's looking really sharp and fun
and it's going to be it's going to be a
great series number twenty.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Okay, And you'll be showing up to work every day
and not like Joaquin Gassin, I'll be there.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
You'll be getting all the awards. You got to imagine
if you've got a log award and you hadn't been
seen on Telly for ages. Imagine another one.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
The time old question where do you put your sauce?
Where do you keep your sauce? Do you keep it
in the fridge or do you keep it in the pantry.
Jessica Row, I keep it in the fridge. I keep
pretty much all of our condiments in the fridge.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
I don't know if that's a good idea, but anything
with the lid that I've opened, I keep in the fridge.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
I also keep cereal in the fridge.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Keeps the pantry mouths out.
Speaker 7 (05:37):
Well, that's what I reckon.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Now you're right, it's not what you reckon. I put
my rice in the fridge.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Do you what the rice? The microwave rice in a bag?
Speaker 5 (05:45):
No?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
No, because that's sealed in a bag. Your beard's mighty,
and your long grain.
Speaker 7 (05:51):
I'm the crapouse guidance would you put?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
You know you shouldn't be eating that stuff either. Oh,
that's full of microplastics. No, it's full of micro says
that Uncle Ben's stuff. It's full of microplastic.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Who says this?
Speaker 3 (06:08):
The internet? The internet, and they've never been wrong, No.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Never, No.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
Microwave rice is the best. It's quick and easy.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Met it's easy, and it is yummy, except for the microplastics.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
You know, you're not want to be like a turtle
inhaling all those microplastics.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
Oh, you've made me, but turtles turtles inhale.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
The microplastics are going to the sea.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Oh, yes, you've really taking me off on a tention
here I'm thinking about turtles eating.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Rice and eating the rice.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
The turtles are inhaling the microplastics in the sea. Someone
throws a straw into the sea, a turtle inhales that straw.
Microplastics go within. So when they're making the microwave rice,
this is what I heard the process. The machine puts
microplastics into the rice.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
Oh, I'm going to have to research this.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Do you research? I will.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
I'm going to do a deep dive.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
We have other fish to fryday.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Because the people the arbiter of whether you keep your
sauce in the pantry or the fridge, Muster Foods have
spoken and they've kept out of this debate for a
long long time.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
But now they have come out and says Master Foods
will always recommend keeping it in the freege.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Ah.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
That is good to know. They finally said that's what
you need to do. What do they say about vegimi though.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Vegemite it's got a lot of salt in it, but
that's not their wheelhouse.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
By the way, Master Foods don't own vegemite, so they
get well away from that. But vegiminite, it's yeast salt.
It's pretty much it's got a half life of a
thousand years.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
Do you know? Once though, with my veggie which I
hadn't put in the fridge, I opened it and it
was covered in mold. No.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
Yes, And I was surprised.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Someone's double dipped, someone's put some butter from sandwich, Yes,
gone into the vegemite.
Speaker 6 (08:08):
And I never thought about that. That might have even
been myself.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Probably making veggie sandwiches all the kids.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Yes, it definitely would have been you.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
Ah, all these things I'm learning.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
That's what Petie said to me. He said, can you
have a word to pussy Cat?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
If you're gonna put vegemite on toast, don't go the
butter into the vegemite. You can put the vegemite into
the butter. It looks unsightly, but it's not going to
contaminate or go off because it's vegemite.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
What about peanut butter? What do you do with peanut butter?
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I kept that in the cupboard. You don't put in
the fridge because it gets too stiff. It's got a
lot of oil in it.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
Ah, how are you the arbiter the yoda on all
of what to put in and out of the fridge?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Well, I just I've always been a I was raised
by a mother who used by dates to like a suggestion.
I went round to her house just recently and she
had American mustard there, and I'm like, oh, look, Muster
Foods have released the classic mustard label from when I
was a kid, and I'm slathering it on my thing.
And then look at the used by date nineteen eighty four.
(09:15):
No way, it's classic mustard from nineteen eighty four. I said, mum,
this has been around for more than thirty years.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
And you were fine, though, weren't you. Nothing happened to you.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Well that's not the point, Jessica, But I.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
Think that is a good point to remember you were.
You were okay.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Yeah, But still I wouldn't subscribe to eating off foods.
I just don't. I don't think some way to do.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
But perhaps it's about the wording. It's not off, it's
just older aged. It's aged mustard.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
It's age mustard.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
It's the cutting room for yeah, yeah, yeah, it's Jis
you an Amanda's cunning room flour? Todd mckennie in for
Amanda Keller and having you done a great job today?
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Had Well, I've had fun, I've finally woken up. It
was a bit bleary eye.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
You did do breakfast radio with Sonya Krueger. I did
it for a couple of years, and you competed against us.
We did it down the corridor in the same studio,
so it was weird, which that station now has completely
gone mix on six point five.
Speaker 8 (10:25):
Do you know I remember because we were literally, as
you know, down the corridor from each other. I remember
one day, I don't know if you remember, Sonya Krueger
brought her dog, Fergie, yes, into that was a little
staffy and she walked down the corridor and weed outside
your studio.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Do you remember that. I remember I said to Sonya,
that's unacceptable.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
You know the dog fair enough, but you Sonya had
been training that dog for six months.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I thought that was interstation rivalry right there. What it
was right there? That radio station has down become Kiss
Oh and Jackiey. That's right.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
So they're not down the corridor anymore. They're upstairs, well
in the penthouse. No, I wouldn't like to think it's
what I get a broom, and I bet they do
it up there a bit. You shut up, get the noise,
keep the noise down there.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
You kids.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
There's something that's been discussed with great length and I
don't know if you've heard about this.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
It's the palm tree Aren't installation in It's in the
main drag of Crown Street. I do like it.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I think it's I think it's great. But it's a
palm tree strapped to a street light pole. Well, I've
just been handled a photo of it.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
You like it? Well, it's it looks like something being
delivered that hasn't been delivered properly. And I think that's
it's got caught. That's the point of it.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
But what are they saying? It's about how it's modern?
It's modern, and what are they saying about it? So
what it is is a palm tree with a root
ball which is wrapped in Hessian yep. So it's being
delivered to a property and it's got itself caught on
a light pole.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
And that's where it's been delivered, I would imagine.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
And if you look down further into the picture, then
there's another palm tree that's just been strapped to a
sandstone block on its side.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
So what is the message?
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Well, I guess the message is what does it say
to you when you order something online or whatever. Are
you always happy with how it arrives? Have you thought,
whis that up on my garage roof?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Where?
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (12:14):
And once they start these drone deliveries, that's going to
be a real thing. This is going to be a
get your palm tree delivered by a drone. You're probably
going to end up with it stuck to you.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
On the right. So we had the Guzman came around
the other night. Usman. Oh, he delivers the Goozman, which
is always good. That eats gone nice. But the Goozman Gawaja, No,
no Usman, just Usman the originals. I don't think Usman
Gawaja needs to dry for uber eats. Yeah, we don't know.
But anyway, he delivered it at our front door and
(12:48):
my wife.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Said, where's the Guzman. Hasn't you know, hasn't arrived And
I don't know. And then I looked at my phone
and said, your food has been delivered And it was
twenty minutes ago.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Oh so it was cold. Yeah, he just left. He
leaves at the door. But no ding dong. Yeah, that's
happened to me. What's happened to me? A future?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
So this is the thing.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
It's a thing.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I think they get lazy. I think they get really busy.
How hard is it to ring a door? I've had
exactly the same conversation. But do you know what I
got delivered to my house? I got home, I was traveling,
got home, got from the airport, got to my front gate,
and there's these massive boxes, three massive, massive boxes on
my front porch.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
And I didn't know what it was.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
It was pool equipment. So it was a creepy Crawley pool.
You know the tube that feeds the creepy Crawley.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
It was that.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
It was a whole stack of pool salts, and it
was it wasn't for me, and it was for like
four or five streets over.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
It wasn't my street, wasn't the same number of the house.
And I thought, what do I do with that? Do
you have a pool? I've got a pool, but I've
got my own creepy Crawley, Like I don't. I have
a man.
Speaker 8 (13:53):
I have a man that comes over and yellow likerathong, right,
So I thought, what do I do with that? Just
to get a picture of that, you can almost taste it,
can't you? But that I thought, what do I do
with this? It's clearly wrong. But the guy would have
had to have got it out of his car, struggled
(14:13):
with it to my front porch. I've got a long
driveway down to the house, and so I had to
then put it in. The address was clearly marked on
the package, and then I took it around to the
people's house and they're opening the door with their mouths
over going.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Why is Todd McKenny. It looked like my career was over.
I've suddenly become a delivery I was expecting husband Kowaja,
it's delivery. No, it's Todd Kenny's subjaded old tappans. That's
Todd mckenny's creepy Crawley. It's my little side hustle delivery
go pull pull equipment delivery guy.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
So how do they get that stuff wrong?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Like they don't read and that's what they just say, Oh,
that place has probably got a pull.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
I'll just dump all this stuff there. That's it. That's
attention to detail, Todd. So maybe this wool and gong
art piece, well they were going to remove it.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
They've got to take away from Crown Street, but it
was going to cost one million dollars. Well, they just
need a helicopter to get it and just take it up.
Are expert in this, well, I'm becoming one now. But
I think I actually agree with them. I'd be up
in arms about that. That just looks but it's art.
It's yeah, but what is art?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
You know?
Speaker 8 (15:19):
I'm off to Venice in a minute to an art fair. Yeah,
but I will be outraged at most of the things
I see and so and everybody at those art fairs.
They walk around and you do it too when you
go to that, you can go I could do that.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
I could do that. I could do that.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Or you know Jackson Pollock who Blue Poles Painting, Yes,
goth Whitlam bought that in nineteen seventy something for one
million dollars and that everyone blew up deluxe. They said
that is outrageous, what a stupid amount of money to
pay on a stupid painting. Well and last count, yeah
it was worth three hundred yeah yeah see yeah, but
(15:51):
that is that's got some artistry involved to it.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
This this palm tree is stuck to a thing with
a bit of sticky tape.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I think it would be hard to do and maybe
you're creepy Crawley Todd's creepy Crawley delivery service. Maybe that
was an art installation in itself. Maybe it was, and
maybe me dealing with it was all part of the picture.
Maybe I'm on some obscure YouTube channel lugging it into
my car around to the owner's house.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
There it is wackiest home deliveries. It's the whole new
segment for the show, Husband Kawaji with the pusban to
creepy crawl, I.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Could do it Hawaiian shirt with Miraccas and making a
whole big thing. It's a new television show.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
It is. Yeah, I'll co host it with you, thinking
as it was your idea, I think it might be
busy everybody. Here is some more Julie Goodwin in for
Amanda Keller today.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Something we missed on the show was this story about
a woman calling police for mistaking a realistic sex doll
for a body. She called the police because this doll
was on a beach and it appears to be headless.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
There's no head.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
Yeah, like, is that how it how it came?
Speaker 3 (17:08):
That's no? No, Well do they I'm sure headless ones?
Speaker 7 (17:12):
Or does the head come off?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Isn't the the world is terrible if people are ordering that,
you know, because at one time I went into a
sex shop, you know, just the one time, why why
I was in there. But I was in there and
I was just looking at the array of stuff that
they had. But then on the wall there was a sheep,
a sex doll. Sheep a sheep?
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Yeah, And I went, so, at what point are you
going from, you know, a doll to the sheep?
Speaker 7 (17:37):
What point are you going from you yessen to a doll?
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Well exactly, but you know, I could see, like people
that make it lonely.
Speaker 9 (17:45):
I guess, well, I guess, I mean, look at it
this way. It'd probably be worse if you mistook a
dead body for a sex doll.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
That's true that I started having it off with it
your on a.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
I was going to leave that bit unsaid. Yeah, here
we are in court again.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Here we are the lady and I sort of have
a bit of empathy for her as well, because she
could see it was definitely the shape of a torso
face down and could tell it was a woman's figure.
So she's looking at it, and you don't want to
go up there and see if it was a real body,
because that'd be kind of gross.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
Well yeah, like.
Speaker 9 (18:22):
Yeah, like if you you wouldn't want to get too
close to it. No, and it looks like it's on
a beach.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
It's on a beach.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
It's kind of washed up there that. No, you wouldn't
want to see that.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
No one wants to see that. So three police officers responded.
They were also convinced it was real when they first saw.
Speaker 7 (18:40):
It, straight to Scotland Yard.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
And that's the other job about being a copper, isn't it.
You have to go and investigate it.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
You have to.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
And they thought it was a real book, and they've
gone on, hang on it, maybe, Harry, you go and
have a look and.
Speaker 7 (18:53):
See what you think about it a stick and see
what happens.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
So they would have been relieved.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
They've gone over there and they've poked it with a stick,
she said, and discover that it's not indeed, it's just
a it's a sex style. But if you ever like,
I find that as I get older, my short sight
and oh yeah, it's more and more.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
So.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
One day I was walking down my street and I
thought I saw there's this massive dog, this big domman
sitting on the Oh oh my god, look at that
side of the dog. And I'm not scared of dogs.
I don't believe, and I wouldn't usually cross the road.
Brother on that dog that looks like the hound of Baskerville.
So I'm keeping away from that.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
As I get closer, I've crossed the other side of
the road.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
It's a tree stump, two tree stumps together, and the
optical illusion looked like it was this big domoman.
Speaker 9 (19:41):
You're just like my husband, right, So I wear glasses
because I'm not too vain to wear glasses. He's constantly
walking around squinting at things. I show him something on
my phone, I have to he borrows my glasses. In
the restaurants, we can read the menu. It's like, come
on time, Jonesy. If you're mistaking tree stump for Doberman
and hounds of Baskerville's time for the glasses.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Well, it's funny you say that I do go and
get my eyes checked quite regularly, Do you do? And yeah,
I do? I do. You know, just you don't check
my macula?
Speaker 7 (20:10):
Do you pay attention to what they say?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
And they do?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
And the guy said, what I've got, I've got this
like stigmatism. One eye is short and one eye is long, right,
So they correct each other. Is that how that's what
he said?
Speaker 7 (20:23):
They just seeing tree stump dogs.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
This is the eye guy. It was a very effective illusion.
Speaker 9 (20:27):
Okay, well yeah, I mean I can see how you
can go having very effective I.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Was waving at a palm tree thinking that it was
a friend of mine.
Speaker 7 (20:36):
Do you ever say hello to those yard dudes?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Now I go in and buy stuff, all the goods
they have on offer, not outside of sections.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
You can't see the price.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Hey, everybody, it's time for jonesianamandas gotten room floor. Liz
Ellis is in for Amanda and this is right in
your wheelhouse. I know the netball never made it to
the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Thank you for bringing that up. I don want to
rub salt into wounds.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Yes, open winds. But you know what, I reckon you
would have made it. It would have been a given
that you would have got a gold medal.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Do you want to think about that?
Speaker 10 (21:14):
Yeah, no, I reckon we would have got a gold
medal too. So yes, And I hate the fact that
we are not in the Olympics as much as I
love the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Sure, and if you were in the Olympics and you
won a gold medal.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Second question, A part of my question is would you
have got an Olympics rings tattoo?
Speaker 10 (21:30):
I would have just been a sheep and gone and
got an Olympics Well, I think I think you can
get an Olympics ring tattoo even if you don't win
a gold medal. I think if you go to the Olympics,
it's enough of an achievement. And like these guys who
go off to the Olympics are just adonicis so as
if you wouldn't want to stick a five ring tattoo
on your pecks.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
They just looked good.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I was reading where it actually started and it was
went back to nineteen eighty eight and it was Christopher Jacobs.
He started it at the Sole Olympics. You got the
rings tattooed. Yeah, right, Did he win a gold medal?
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I'm not too sure.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
There's not any other details there, but he just got
the tattoo. But then there are other people that were
getting tattoos. Yes, so they before they went to the Olympics.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
Yes, Oh no, I think you've got to go to
the Olympics first.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
You can't.
Speaker 10 (22:17):
You can't get a pre Olympics tat before you turn
up there because so many things can happen, and what
happens if you get your tat and then you don't
actually like you get injured or something happens and you
actually don't go. Like, I think that's a very that's
a risky play. And like I was a bit of
a I was a bit superstitious when I was an athlete.
So one of the things that I was superstitious about
(22:38):
was that if you had to go and do a
photo shoot, like we need a captain, they send you
out to do photo shoots with the trophy, so either
you know, the super Netball Trophy or the World Cup trophy.
And I had a superstition that if we hadn't won
the trophy the last time, then I couldn't touch the
trophy until we won it. So for example, two thousand
and seven, I was a captain of the Diamonds for
the World Cup and we had to do these photosh
(23:00):
and because New Zealand had won the two thousand and
three World Cup, I didn't want to touch the trophy
until until I'd won it, until my team had won it.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
So the moment you touch it then it's a bit special.
Speaker 10 (23:08):
Right, Yes, yes, man, it worked it worked, we won,
So I mean the four years of hard work and blood,
sweat and tears we put in may have may have
played a part.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
I don't want to, you know, put it all on
the superstition.
Speaker 10 (23:20):
But so but I would think that getting the tat
before you go the Olympics it's just tempting fake get
it and you don't have to win a gold medal,
but you do have to.
Speaker 6 (23:28):
Actually walk in the door.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Have you got any tattoos?
Speaker 5 (23:31):
I do?
Speaker 6 (23:31):
It's not the Olympic rings.
Speaker 10 (23:33):
I should have got the Olympic rings with just like
a big you know those big no entry circle and
stripe the top I do have. I've got a little
gecko tattooed on my back right, Yeah, it's a lizard.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Yes, and why is that? Liz?
Speaker 10 (23:48):
Liz and one of my a very dear friend of mine.
She spent some time working up in northwest western Australia
years ago and got this gecko tattooed and unfortunately sadly
away from breast cancer. So a few of us, whose
sister and her friends, we all got the same tattoo.
So it's a really lovely memory. So yeah, my mum
wasn't very happy about me getting a tattoo because you know,
(24:10):
I'm fifty and you still care about what your mum thinks, obviously,
but she was, she was more understanding.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
When she knew that it was because of Linda and
that story as well.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
And everyone's got a tattoo now, I know, like you know,
it's like you know.
Speaker 10 (24:24):
On this show you talk about what gets your gooolies
against my gool is that I was an early adopter
and everyone's got everyone's got tattoo.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
I got to make them.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Used to be the president of the Hell's Angels and
he said, well, hang on there, the Britster is more
tattooed than I am.
Speaker 10 (24:37):
I suspect the Hell's Angels were early adopters, very early adoptors.
Here's my piece of gratuitous advice for aspiring Olympians. Don't
get the tats until you've walked in the door at
the Olympics and actually competed. Then, once you've done, go
for your life, get all the Olympic tats. A hooy hoy, yeah,
get it on your hooy.
