Speaker 4 (02:07):
All the rains were just coming in through the doors.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
It seemed for me just to come out of nowhere.
One minute it wasn't there. Next minute I thought, is
that noise on the TV? Or as that actual rain?

Speaker 4 (02:18):
That's actual rain? What about you? How'd you go? How's
your gallery?

Speaker 1 (02:22):

This is where we create the lyrics to a song,
and then you have to guess where those lyrics are from.

Speaker 4 (06:48):

So what is the thing?

Speaker 4 (07:23):
Melbourne Cup day today? And I'm not one race in
the wool.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Not to lay blame or point fingers at anyone because
I don't want to embarrass Meg. But she's gone and
put the wrong horses in. She's got the horses from
the Big Dance. So the Big Dance it's happening at
a round with today. And this is the thing the
Telegraph does. The Telegraph wants everyone to call it the
Big Dance and make this big race day in Sydney.

Speaker 4 (07:46):
The thing is like Melbourne.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
We don't like being told what to do by anyone,
so we've sort of leave.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
The newspaper today has the whole draw.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
So anyway, that's where we got our horses. So Andrew,

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Hello there, it's Jonesy and Amanda. So we had a
bit of a kafaffle with the Melbourne Cup. Meg producer
Meg has put the Big Dance in as the sweep
instead of the Melbourne Camp Rectified whichever.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
I guess the Telegraph they want us to support the.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Big Dance at ime. But I love everything Sydney. But
the Melbourne Cup is the Melbourne Cup, so let's.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Not pretend Melbourne Cup isn't the Melbourne.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
Also good news. Meg is also given that list to
Kyle and Jackie, so you.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Don't want to find interesting because we have newspapers to
get delivered here everyday and you and I read them.
They've never had newspapers, so they made they've needed our
form guide.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
So it's a bit like Patterson's curse. It's a wee
that's spread throughout the whole network.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
So what we've got so far, we've given Way Bakaru
and war Band low Man and now we have Sam

you want a horse in the Big Dance? No, don't worry,
it's too hard. It's just too hot.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
We're playing lyrical Assassin. I'm going to quote some lyrics
to you, Sam, and see if you know what the
song is. My loneliness is killing me and I must
confess I still believe when I'm not with you, I
lose my mind. Give me a sign? What's the song? Sam?

Speaker 1 (13:33):
It's Melbourne Cup.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
To come on, you big curmudgeon people.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
People want to go to Randwick. Great, but don't pretend
that that is a direct competition a Melbourne Cup.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
According to the Telegraph, of course it is. It's a
direct competition.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
It is.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
Come on, aren't you a Sydney side a parochial person.
We're going to be like the other states, you know,
Brisbane and Melbourne, you know, and there the Sydney where
we're going to embrace this stuff.

Brisbane they've got the greyhounds today. Let's talk about that.

Speaker 4 (14:00):

it's good. It's a good day. All right, it's a
good day. You know why it's a great day?

Speaker 1 (14:13):
Tell me because of that freaking race. I have a
hard enough time being enthusiastic about the Melbourne Cup. I'm
not going to add another race to the list.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Okay, so you won't be at the Big Dance after
you after the show?

Speaker 4 (14:28):
What about this?

Speaker 1 (14:29):
You've seen you dance, you definitely won't.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
No, no rap songs are in the Hot one hundred,
top forty songs for the first time since nineteen ninety.

Speaker 4 (14:38):
The world is coming around. I can feel me around.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
To pop, we're very popular.

Speaker 4 (14:42):
Rock to rock, I think we're very pop. I like
pop rock, I like rock.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
I don't care what you like like rock. Did you
say the words rock?

Speaker 2 (14:50):
I'm a rock dog running of the Big Dance today,
rock dog.

Speaker 4 (14:54):
I like rock. I like a CDC, I like I
like everything.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
You've never been a rap guy.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
You know what. When I first heard the rock Steady
Steady Crew back in Rack, I just hated it.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
I remember as a kid just going I hate on
your back, sitting there cross legged on the floor watching countdown.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Not like I'd rather go to a light horse race.

Speaker 4 (15:17):
And Molly didn't like it either.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
Molly was he wasn't a rock dog, and then everyone,
I mean a rap dog, And all of a sudden
everyone came around to it. So for the first time,
rock dogs everywhere celebrate.

Speaker 4 (15:28):
Guitars dogs, pop dog I don't mind. I like pop rock.
You give me pop rock I like.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Can I go through some of the big rap songs
of the last you know, forty years? You like some
of it? You like Snoop DOGG, wouldn't the pimps and there?
I don't like it? If you do, you told me
you liked it. You've got to like this guy, an
m I really.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Got to like this.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
I like, but I don't. Yeah. I actually the same
week California a party.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
You talk a little else other than CARTI b esus.
You don't get many rap artists called Wayne? What about
lou Wayne makes it your runs to diarrhea?

Speaker 4 (16:22):
Can you get me a beer? Thank you? Molly? At
seventeen to seven. You know what we should talk.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
Pub test don't because Melbourne got a public I know
what do you know, maybe we should have a public
holiday today. Maybe we should put that to the pub
test so the Big Dance can become bigger and then we'll.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Beat Are you going to go today? If you love
it so much? Well, I will finish work at nine thirty.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
Yeah, but I would, but it's not a public holiday.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
You finished, you could be there by eleven o'clock.

Speaker 4 (16:55):
There's a lot of work that goes on after the show,
after you.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
Where's your evidence? Where's your evidence of that?

Speaker 2 (16:59):
It's a lot of work anyway, I think we should
do that. Well, let's talk further. That's coming up next
on Gold.

Speaker 4 (17:05):
It's a jam nation. Let's get on down to the Jonesy.
You're a piece of work today.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
You don't care. You're saying this right to rasm.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
It's Big Dance day.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
I know you don't like being told what to do,
particularly by the Murdoch press. But according to the Telegraph,
today is the race that stops the nation. It's not
that thing down in Melbourne. It's the thing at two
twenty today.

Speaker 4 (17:30):
The big day.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
So the Melbourne Cup. What times the Melbourne Cup get raped?

Speaker 4 (17:33):
Three about three ten.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Three ten, and this one's at two twenty, right, right
around the same time.

Speaker 4 (17:39):
Well, no, there's an hour apart.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
No, this is well, yeah, but you know, do the
horses race for an hour? The horse rand national.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
We've got here happening today, so what they're trying to do.
So the Melbourne Cup's been around since eighteen sixty.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
One, it's take one hundred and sixty years.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
Yes, in the old days, the guys used to ride
the horse from the farm or wherever to the track,
run around the track and then go home.

Speaker 4 (18:00):
It was like Baptist back in the good old days.
These fancy trailers and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
So what's the Sydney version so the city you don't
have to ride your own horse there, No.

Speaker 4 (18:10):
No, it's interesting.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
Sydney version is a three million dollar trophy, sixteen hundred
meters race.

Speaker 4 (18:15):
So it's quicker than the Melbourne one.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
So it's about half the length of the Melbourne car.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
That's how we do things in Sydney.

Speaker 12 (18:20):
We get stuff done because we have got other places
to go.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
I just think you're a big curmudgeon, and I think
I was just reading the telegraph.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
I find hard enough to be enthusiastic about the Melbourne Cup,
let alone someone telling me to start celebrating in a
boven parochial way.

Speaker 4 (18:36):
It's not a bogue.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
Makes Sydney better, Make Sydney better?

Speaker 4 (18:42):
Look warries that a cute cartoon. Look at these little cards?

Speaker 1 (18:44):
You when you saw that cartoon this morning? Full disclosure,
Brenn and you grown.

Speaker 4 (18:49):
I groaned with enjoyment.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
I love Warren Brown. See and look at the carts.
And it's hard to compete with the Big Dance. And
then it's got this cranky Melbourne lady. Do you Sydney
sider's mind? We're trying to watch the cup and meanwhile
man and horse are dancing around.

Speaker 4 (19:07):
It's unbridled joy.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
What part of the pub test do you want this
to be?

Speaker 4 (19:11):
Should today be a public holiday for the Big Dance?
So we have a national public holiday, but how many.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
Peop They're expecting lots of people to go who haven't
necessarily need a public holiday.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
They're going to take time off work today. So if
we didn't have to do that like today, I would
love to go.

Speaker 4 (19:25):
To the festival.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
Can you finish work at night?

Speaker 2 (19:28):
I have got to categorize the rock set collection and
the Farnum collection. You don't want to mix those up,
So I have to stay back at the fun Factory
here and do work.

Speaker 4 (19:35):
There was a public holiday, I'd be straight down at Ramwick.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Would Yeah, I'll be enjoying my time down there with
various Sydney identities and local gangsters.

Speaker 4 (19:44):
Try not to get kidnapped.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
So you asked the question, Brandon, because I'm finding it
hard to take this series.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Should today be a national public holiday from the Melbourne Cup?

Speaker 1 (19:56):
National public holiday?

Speaker 4 (19:57):
Yeah, for everybody, not just Melbourne.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
Do do you want a big horse parade like they
do in Melbourne for the you you've lost interest now
you don't want to plops on your street?

Speaker 4 (20:07):
No, we don't.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
Just like we have a day off and then it
works out well because next you we're doing the national show, right,
So now we're going to have to you know, we're
straddling the whole nation and we're going to have that
day off.

Speaker 4 (20:18):
So I'm doing the ground work. You'll thank me late.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
I don't know if anyone is going to agree with you.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
I think having a national public holiday for Melbourne slash
actually big dance slash Melbourne Cup doesn't pass the pub test.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
All right, Well that's what we're asking you today. Please
give us a call. Thirteen fifty five twenty two.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
Should we get around a horse in the sweep for
the Sydney Fester, the Big Dance and the Melbourne Caves.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
No, No, it's too hard, it's too hot.

Speaker 4 (20:46):
Jem jam Nation, Oh my.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
God, Jonesy and a man Kale was just meant to
be a decoration.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
You don't know where you heard that fun fact on
this very show when I told.

Speaker 4 (20:54):
You that, where did you say that?

Speaker 1 (20:56):
You don't listen to a word? I summing?

Speaker 4 (20:58):
What'd you say?

Speaker 1 (20:58):
Nothing?

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Today is the day that you can get Pump Up
the Jam twenty years of Jersey demand of this very
radio show in book form.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
In book form, we have a book out is called
Pump Up the Jam and it celebrates how twenty years

even spoken parts of it and you can and actual
snippets from the show that you can hear. There's qr
cos on certain pages. Do you hear the order? You
can hear our underwater fight.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
So today you use the code JAM twenty. That's JAM twenty,
not GAM twenty.

Speaker 4 (21:37):
Simple go to it. Jenz Sham Nation Podcast, When.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
God, I wanted to get on right now.

Speaker 4 (21:46):
I feel like I'm taking crazy.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Now go your windows, stick.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
Your head on a jell.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
The race that stops the Nation is on today, the
big Dance at ram Wicket two.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
I't know about it until you saw the paper this morning.

Speaker 4 (22:06):
You thought yeah, and the Telegraph. Have me just say
one of my sing out on it.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
If you advertised you you've sniffed the Prince Brenda.

Speaker 4 (22:12):
I saw Warren Brown's little cartoon.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
I groaned when you read it.

Speaker 4 (22:16):
I grown with enjoyment.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
And look see it's got like a little jockey dancing
with a horsey and then the lady just cranky Melbourne
And do you Sydney Signer's mind. We're trying to watch
the cop where fun city. That's what we're about. And
I think we should have a national holiday because I'd
like to get down around with today and have a little.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Flowing can Brendan at lunchtime and cattle boarding every day.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
It's a public holiday. If it was a public holiday,
I would.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
That makes no sense. Lots of people go anyway, so
why would you need a public holiday when most people,
a lot of people take the other.

Speaker 4 (22:56):
I think we should have a public holiday.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
And and you know what, when you're having a public holiday,
you feel better.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
You feel unless you're running a small business, and then
what happens, Oh.

Speaker 4 (23:07):
Come on the small business, this will be okay. There's
a lot going on.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
Will who's going to play? Who's going to man the
radio station or someone?

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Will Ryan ran with a b he'll do it if
he want with John Farnham one, two and three and
there you go.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
All right, well look how are you phrasing it? So
this is over to you, Brandon.

Speaker 4 (23:27):
Should there be a national holiday for the race that
stops the nation? That's the question, Dan slash Melbourne Cup.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
He's what you've answered.

Speaker 10 (23:35):
I would like to see you the public holiday and
suld be strapped.

Speaker 4 (23:38):
Labor Day in October.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
Well, actually I live in you South Wales and I've
got a little small business and I've never worked on
then Olton Cup day. All the boys have it off.
I make sure they all have it off and we
all go to golf.

Speaker 10 (23:50):
Yeah, I think it's a passes the botos.

Speaker 8 (23:52):
I've been working for the same company for.

Speaker 5 (23:54):
Eight years and the bus always gives us a half
day and we go out for a little work function
on Melbourne Cup.

Speaker 9 (23:59):
So I think it should be a national holiday.

Speaker 8 (24:01):
It's been around, as Jones you said, for over.

Speaker 9 (24:03):
One hundred and plus years, so I think it's about
time we push it forward.

Speaker 11 (24:07):
No, I don't think it passes.

Speaker 10 (24:09):
It ends up being a four day weekend because I
think people would just take Monday off as well, and
it's the Melbourne thing for the Melbourne Cups. But I
think no, I think Jones has taken something and it's
a bit delusional. Today, well, we think that it absolutely passes.

Speaker 9 (24:25):
The podcast. We think it should be a public holiday
so we can go watch the races.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
See what about the guy he said he's the boss.
Everyone has it off. But he said they all go
and play golf, nothing to do with the races.

Speaker 4 (24:37):
That's you know, you know what.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
Everyone takes the rest of the day after the show,
everyone go home.

Speaker 4 (24:41):
Okay, you take the rest of the day off.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
Ran anyone who's sexual is in Bomba.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
Not you, Brian, You've got to work everyone else, everyone else.
Meg took the day off this morning when you came
in at six.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
The rest of the day, so when you're out paddle
boarding as you are every day, Brendan at lunchtime ago
isn't a great time of day.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
I'll do in my private hours. Is my own business. Yes,
Gamination gold on one point seven.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
Hello there, it's Jonesy No matter how well are Oasis
going there?

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Nailing it all?

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Though, there was a bit of rage bait there saying
that Noel was mocking the Australian accent at the Melbourne concert.

Speaker 4 (25:23):
Inger Inger, I don't think there's any fire there.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
They are slaying and I'm going to see them Saturday
with my sons and I can't win.

Speaker 4 (25:30):
Were you blur T shirt? No, we're a blur?

Speaker 1 (25:33):
Why would I incite a Gallagher because I know he'll
see me.

Speaker 4 (25:37):
He will? Who put you out?

Speaker 7 (25:39):
Well?

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Speaking of music and people going crazy, many of us,
I'm sure have wondered what it would be like to
be a fly on the wall in those iconic moments
in the early Beatles with his amazing hits. Apparently the

(26:00):
Beatles could never hear themselves because the screaming was just intense.
They had to play over that noise. The crowd couldn't
even hear them. They just saw them and went the bsserve.

Speaker 4 (26:12):
And they didn't have all the stuff that they have
these days. Inner ears and you.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Know the little phone characters and stuff.

Speaker 4 (26:17):
Well they have so they can hear themselves sing. They
just have fold back.

Speaker 13 (26:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
Yeah, but it'd be an amazing time to be alive
to those incredible crowds. Well, I was listening to a
music historian who shared an insight into what it was
actually like to be at a concert like that, and
he said it was the smell that was intriguing, sweat urine,
as he said, the smell of piss. I'm sorry sorry,

(26:44):
because he said, young girls would pass out and we themselves.

Speaker 4 (26:49):
Yeah, they go nuts.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
There the story goes, and this is what he has
said that at the Beatles' concerts, they would get this
scent of urine, he said peers, and they weren't sure
where it was coming from. As the Beatles would start performing,
they were noticing that girls were passing out all over
the place and weaning themselves. It happened so much that
the smell was pretty wild, and he went on to

(27:12):
say he can't think of a modern performer that would
incite the same level. One of the comments here I
thought was interesting saying it's not only about the artists,
but also the audience's sensitivity. Nowadays, people are so overstimulated,
especially with phones et cetera, that they're desensitized to everything.
Back in those days, that was the burgeoning generation really

(27:33):
of teenagers and fandom, and all of a sudden you
had the Beatles and girls just didn't have where to
put themselves with it. So who would you see that
and make you wear yourself? Ah radiators, I think they're
doing that for you up on stage. You know who
do it for me?

Speaker 4 (27:51):
Still doing it?

Speaker 1 (27:52):
This woman Nya Orno go flow. It's got mine going
right now. So next time you look at that incredible
Beetles footage, scratch and sniff, let it pee. I'll let
it pee by the Beatles.

Speaker 11 (28:15):
Jonesy and Amanda podcast.

Speaker 4 (28:21):
Amanda. It's not going to be a warming book empathy
for anyone but.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
Yourselfiet Ardo is going to be joining us on the show.
His book, Happiest Refugee is one of the most popular
books in Australia ever, and he's bringing his Happiest Refugee
Show live back on to the stage. He tells many
stories about his his travels to Australia travels make it

(28:45):
sound like he was on a holiday, the horror of
the boat trip to Australia, but he kind of tells
it with empathy and with humor. He's it's a snippet,
A great.

Speaker 5 (28:56):
Big German merchant ship rocks up and saves all of us.
And to this day, my mom and dad love Germans.
Mom's gonna go for Germany and the Olympics. She's got
like a rep for sweet and sour schnitzelers.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
Because it was on an eight meter fishing boat with
forty seven other Vietnamese refugees in nineteen eighty. Who would
have thought you could create a story that unifies all
of Australia with that.

Speaker 4 (29:23):
And here he is, he'll be joining us. That's coming up.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
When I was younger, I used to travel the world
with beyond two thousand. I do stories standing on the equator,
I'd be in Africa. I'd be in the worst, the
harsh climates of the world. And because that was in
the eighties, I never wore sunscreen. I had makeup on
my face, which I think maybe stop my face copping

(29:47):
too much damage. Never or a hat, never wore sunglasses.
You couldn't on camera. Back of my hands, you know,
are one hundred years old. My neck and chestial areas.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
Chest.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
You, that's enough of it from you. You know, copped
a whole lot of sun damage I've been dealing with
for years.

Speaker 4 (30:05):
But you've got good skin. Well.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
I think my face isn't so bad because I will
make up. That's the only thing that saved me. But
I want to bring back the parasol because even now,
wearing sunscreen a hat out in summer, you can't protect
yourself from the harshness of the sun. I want to
bring back the parasol.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
You'd look kind of kooky.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
I would look like I was from some sort of
Brideshead revisited year, wouldn't I would look a little I'd
have to wear the long white cheese cloth outfit that
went with it. That could work. What about what they're
doing in China. Chinese women are spending a lot sun
on skin care, as are women in South Korea. Apparently
it's a major business in South Korea is women's skin

(30:47):
care and cosmetics. In Beijing, women are now wearing something
called a face KINI. It's a very hot new fashion
trend because they've got soaring temperatures there that are shattering records.
I'll show you a picture of it in the minute.
But the air temperature is rising above thirty five degrees celsius.
In many parts of China, the ground surface temperature is
sowing as high as eighty degrees and people taken to

(31:09):
wearing portable fans in hats, carrying themselves up completely, but
particularly females who are worried about skin damage have been
taken to wearing this face kini.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
A kikini, a fakini.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
Get the fakini out of here. I'm going to show
you a picture of it and see if you can
describe what you see. And there's these millions and millions
of these have been selling. Looks like she's off to
Robert Bank.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
Looks like she's going to a bonny blue of its
speaking fakini.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
Oh, it's this kind of mask that you wear after
you've had burns. That it's a complete sort of near
prene or whatever fase cover with your eyes, your nose
and your mouth out. And that's it.

Speaker 4 (31:54):
So when are you getting one of those?

Speaker 1 (31:56):
You know, I'm going to wear it inside here because
you just can't trust the same After the show remind
me to day it off when I go to the Bank.

Speaker 4 (32:07):

A great thing for it is.

Speaker 5 (32:58):
It is and I'll turn it into a stage show.
It's been going about fifteen years. It's great. I don't
have to write another show. We keep selling out. But Amanda,
you were one on my arms Brush with Fame. Oh
my god, the ratings were through the roof. One of
the most popular, most awesome guests we had in the
whole seven series.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
Lovely of you to say. People still talk to me
about that, so I think it must be on high repeat.

Speaker 4 (33:21):
Where's the painting now?

Speaker 1 (33:23):
Well, you know I had it on my wall for
a long time. It's big and it's like Mussolini. The
eyes followed you around the room, get the kids in check.
But then it became a bit much, so I've got
in the spare room.

Speaker 4 (33:33):
I tell you.

Speaker 5 (33:35):
Like about ten years ago, I went back to Taife
to study painting man and I walk in and this
guy comes out to me and he goes, you look
just like Arndeau and I went, yeah, that's because I am.
And the guy goes, nah, you're not, but geez, you
look like him.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
He walks off.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
Well he'd no better than you.

Speaker 4 (33:51):
We got this, but it happens in different ways.

Speaker 5 (33:55):
The other day, I was walking along and this mom
comes up to me and she goes you are one
of my son's favorite people in the whole world.

Speaker 4 (34:01):
Can he have your autograph?

Speaker 5 (34:03):
So I'm signing this autograph for this little kid, and
the mum looks at me and gas you were by
far the best wiggle.

Speaker 4 (34:08):
Oh, she thinks of Jeff.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
Jeff about seventy all you entertainers look to say you.

Speaker 4 (34:17):
Were going to get say something else we did, James,
I was not going to do that. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
Many years ago, when I dabbled in stand up comedy,
you were the main act when I was at the
comedy store.

Speaker 4 (34:29):
So this was two thousand.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
My last gig was really successful, but that was the
night of September eleventh, and then that was it. After that,
I thought we're all going to war. It's the end
of the world as we know it. So that was
the last stand up gig I did. And you've gone
from strength to strength since then.

Speaker 5 (34:46):
As you have guys. Yeah, it's really great to be
back on the show.

Speaker 4 (34:51):
A man.

Speaker 5 (34:51):
My wife's just written a book and she really wants
me to give it to you please. It's about it's
about a twin who's investigating her twin sister's death, and
my wife she has twins and air. Her mum was
in the thirties. She has this operation because you know,
there is pain in the abdomen. It turns out to
be assist with a little bit of hair and tooth.

(35:13):
And it was her twin who wasn't formed. And someone
was obsessed with twins. Her brother has twins, and I
always want to be a twin when I was a
kid because I wanted to know what I look like
from the back. That's my sort of contribution to that
by yourself, Yeah, but I will give you that.

Speaker 4 (35:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
And I asked you, as you say, you've done this
show for fifteen years, have you seen a shift in
how we feel about refugees? Do people treat you differently
to the way we treat other refugees today?

Speaker 5 (35:44):
Look, I don't know, Amanda, you know, I mean, I
don't know how. I'm just I just go about, you know,
being me. But I know that, you know, in my childhood,
we had a lot of support, you know, like turn
up or some heaps and nuns from Saint Vinnie's used
to come and help us out. And so you know,
I love I love those charities, and yeah, I look,

(36:04):
I think a little bit of compassion is good. But yeah,
had a great childhood with you know, we were poor,
But it doesn't matter for when I turn I wanted
I wanted helium balloons for my party, like John o haad.
You know the ones that float up to the ceiling. Yeah,
And so I said, Mum, how about those? And Mum
says they're expensive, aren't but I'll see what I can do.
So my birthday comes around, my mom buys normal balloons,

(36:26):
blows them up, stick it tapes them to the ceiling.
Jonesy and me and my mates are doing the high
voice thing and we're all going, your voice changing, No.

Speaker 4 (36:34):
It's not.

Speaker 5 (36:36):
And then one guy goes, this helium smells like spring rolls, guys,
And I'm there trying to pretend, going yeah, that's working
for me.

Speaker 4 (36:45):
I just aren't doing it right. And then one other
guy goes, oh, yeah it's working now. So you do
your best, you know.

Speaker 5 (36:53):
So so I've got nothing to complain about.

Speaker 4 (36:56):
Just you do your best off.

Speaker 5 (36:57):
Sold I was in I was like that one of
those kids that couldn't read or write real well because
I just come over from Vietnam. But you know, the
teachers help out and you get better and now I've
written I've written a bunch of kids book who sold.

Speaker 4 (37:13):
Ten million around the world.

Speaker 5 (37:15):
Yes, so I'm just in the process of turning those
books into TV shows and movies, and once that is achieved,
we'll be eating steak tonight.

Speaker 4 (37:25):
Kids. Do you go back to Vietnam for holidays?

Speaker 2 (37:28):
Because everyone I talked to in my circles you've got
to go to Vietnam.

Speaker 4 (37:32):
You will love it there. Yeah, to go back. Vietnam
is awesome. Vietnam is awesome.

Speaker 5 (37:36):
Get a beer for about eighty cents, you know what
I mean, And there's a lot of fresh beer.

Speaker 4 (37:42):
I don't want to.

Speaker 5 (37:43):
It's breakfast time radio, but like you just there's like
breweries just like a little like a little you know
what I mean. And you get fresh beer and it's right,
you know what I mean. It's like eighty cents, so
maybe a buck eighty, you know.

Speaker 4 (37:55):
And you still speak Vietnamese. I speak, you know.

Speaker 5 (37:58):
The first time I went back there, I'm walking around
and because I speak the language and I read and write,
I went and I bought a whole bunch of second
hand closed from the Vietnamese Saint Vinnie's, you know, sort
of version, and I walked around like a local and
no one could tell us from overseas, and I really

(38:19):
enjoyed that, you know, so I wasn't a tourist.

Speaker 4 (38:21):
I was just like a normal dude.

Speaker 2 (38:23):
Do they pick your aussy accent though, because you have
a bit of an an accent to you?

Speaker 6 (38:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (38:29):
Yeah, no, I speak Vietnamese in a completely Vietnamese accent, right,
and just like I'm pretty good, I'm actually pretty good
at at accents, right.

Speaker 9 (38:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (38:39):
I won't I won't do my Indian or anything like that,
but yeah, I'm pretty.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
Good kids Vietnamese.

Speaker 5 (38:45):
You know, No, they don't. They say, Yeah, Mom is ausy.
She's Anglo Australian. Sometimes she jokes that I'm her male lord,
a husband to that sort of thing, and that my
head got squashed in the letterbox. But you know that's
just when she's joking. She's mostly lovely.

Speaker 4 (39:05):
Well made. It's always good to talk to you for Texas. Yeah,
she's absolutely lovely.

Speaker 1 (39:11):

Speaker 4 (41:21):
Noah, thank you doing a bit of the John was there.
A lot of people can to each other.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
A lot of people today will be putting syndicates together
for their bets, for their you know, maybe you own
a horse that's racing, who knows. But I've got a
great story for syndicate that I'll share with you next MN.
I saw this great story on socials last night. It's
a story that began in twenty twenty two for a
group of English lads. I'll let them set the story up.

Speaker 4 (41:45):
Do you like twenty twenty two?

Speaker 1 (41:46):
Five best montes sat in the pub and came up
with the idea of going.

Speaker 6 (41:49):
Away for our forty ifs in the summer of twenty
twenty six. An even better idea will start paying forty
pounds a half each into an account for it. We
also decided that everyone had a picture hol of the
ideas to the group and vote for a winner.

Speaker 4 (42:02):
Thanks for said budget.

Speaker 1 (42:03):
Saw it the seven grand for flights.

Speaker 6 (42:04):
In accommodation and at least three grand left.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
In the key.

Speaker 4 (42:07):
Oh syndicates they have fun.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
Well, so this is what happened. So that's euros seven
grand for flights accommodation and three grand have to spend.
So what's seven grand? This will be thirteen thousand dollars
three grand left to spend, so maybe another six for
spending money. So they all pitched their ideas. They had
a little PowerPoint presentations. It was really cute. The bits

(42:29):
in Albania Mayorca Lisbon split these beautiful, beautiful places. The
top two were Malaga and Albania, and so that they
decided then they'd put them in the middle and had
to pick out a winner. Albania was the winner, so
you'd think, great, we've got all this money, we have
saved for three four years, We're going to have this

(42:50):
incredible holiday in Albania, which is known as the Maldis
of Europe. But then they decided this for.

Speaker 6 (42:55):
The pitches, someone suggested, should we put a winning destination
up against one spin off the casino seven grand on.

Speaker 4 (43:02):
Red or black.

Speaker 6 (43:03):
If we win, we almost double the budget and go
full on bougie. If we lose, we's got three ground
left and we can't. We'd already voted Red. Ships went
down five nervous slabs watched it on half pounded ball.

Speaker 4 (43:15):
Spins black.

Speaker 1 (43:17):
We absolutely so who would think that we've got all
this money, We've chosen our destination one spin of the
dice at the casino. So what happened is they all
they lost the seven thousand, which is ten thousand bucks
sing whatever we decided that was. They did get three
hundred pounds worth of vouchers, so they spun that made

(43:39):
six hundred pounds spun again and lost it all of course,
So all up they lost maybe twenty grand's worth of
their holiday money, which means they're going to Benidorm, which
is like the Bali of Spain. Right, So they've saved
for six years, they've pulled all that money to have
a full budget holiday. Tales of the Syndic.

Speaker 4 (44:03):
It's a guy thing. I think women go into Sydney
clubs and they had.

Speaker 1 (44:08):
And actually invest in them.

Speaker 4 (44:11):
No, I've been in a few syndicates in my time,
have you.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
Yeah, that sort of thing that guys go, hey, let's all.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
Pitch hortike, boats, horses and it never ends out well.

Speaker 1 (44:22):
Tales of the Syndicate, What have you got.

Speaker 4 (44:27):
Podcast?

Speaker 2 (44:28):
This story of men going in on syndicates, it sort
of tickles my fancy. I remember when I was a kid,
my dad went in on a mini minor, little mini mine.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
Time share a mini mine.

Speaker 2 (44:38):
You're all going to restore it and do it up.
And I'd always go, can I come and see the car?

Speaker 4 (44:43):
Dad? Could? I never saw the car, but I did
know he'd come home trolleyed a.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
Spending money at the pub.

Speaker 4 (44:51):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
I never saw the car, and the car just disappeared.

Speaker 4 (44:54):
What happened to that, Minimi? I don't know. Don't worry
about that, mate, don't you worry about that?

Speaker 1 (45:01):
Are called the syndicate.

Speaker 4 (45:03):
I don't know, but it's such a good.

Speaker 1 (45:05):
Name for a bar and I'm just off to caught
out the syndicate.

Speaker 4 (45:09):
Yeah, but largely women don't like men going into syndicates.
Largely women say.

Speaker 1 (45:13):
Do not go into Well, we're doing tales of the
syndicate and absolutely, and that's because it's called mate, let's
see a female perspective on the syndicate. Is this your syndicate,
bridget No, No, not my syndicate.

Speaker 8 (45:27):
So quite a number of years ago, you know, the
lot of syndicates and Powerball and all of that. I've
never ever ever played them. And I was in a
newsagent one day and it was one hundred or one
hundred and fifty million in Powerball, I think it was,
and I thought, you know what, I'm not having any
luck on my own. Maybe I should go on into
one of these syndicates. And I said, oh, yeah, which one?

Speaker 3 (45:45):
How much?

Speaker 8 (45:46):
Okay, Yeah, that's fine, great, And I'm going, oh, please
let us win, please, oh my god, one hundred and
fifty million between twenty people. Could you imagine that?

Speaker 7 (45:53):
Oh my god, it would be so amazing.

Speaker 8 (45:55):
And I'm sitting on this ticket of hoping that we're
going to win, you know, the safety in numbers start
of thing. And then I didn't watch the draw and
I said, I'll just go into the newsagent the next day.
And the machine went ding ding ding, and I went,
oh my god, what And she said you want, I said,
And I said, we really won and she said yeah.
And I said, oh my god, how much? And she said, oh,
you've got two dollars. Oh, and I was and she

(46:18):
said two dollars? Do you want to replay it? I
said you're joking, aren't you. I said, I paid more
than two dollars for that ticket, like ten times more.
And I said, oh, that's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (46:28):
And never ever again?

Speaker 2 (46:31):
Right, Wow, two dollars divided by twenty No.

Speaker 1 (46:34):
You wouldn't have to. Did you have to share the
two dollars that was your No?

Speaker 8 (46:37):
No, each share was two dollars off the win. So
it was like forty bucks or something that we want
between twenty of you and yeah, And I was like, oh,
that's a joke, never again, never again.

Speaker 1 (46:48):
No, So did that you go into strangers in those
sorts of syndicates. I've never done it.

Speaker 8 (46:53):
Yeah, you don't know who they are, so you just
buy it and you don't know who who the other.

Speaker 2 (46:57):
You don't need those other lucky things either, that's just
you going to buy a lot of tickets.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
Well, but you thought that, you thought it would elevate
your chances somehow.

Speaker 4 (47:07):
That is the pointy story.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
I know whether you're gonna say, you one hundred and
fifty million dollars with all your girlfriends and you're calling us.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
From my beatha, I wish, yeah, you wish. Thank you, Bridget.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
Their brief adult lives.

Speaker 4 (48:13):
It's like a Meredithors.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
Psychist syndicates are largely things that men get involved with.
They get together and they put some money in Like
these English plagues you were talking about before they pulled
all their money.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
In four years. They pulled money every year. They're going
to celebrate their fortieth birthdays in style in Europe. They've
got a huge kiddy thousands thousands of dollars.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
They were going to go to Albania, but then all
of a sudden they said, hey, you know what, why
don't we go to the casino.

Speaker 1 (48:37):
And put it all on red Well will make twice
as much money. Of course they lost it. We absolutely so.

Speaker 4 (48:44):
They were aiding McDonald's on the way home, disappointed.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
And that's what men do. The tribal dramas beating for this.
Jenny has joined us.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
Interestingly, all the calls have been from women. Jenny tell
us about the syndicate.

Speaker 7 (48:56):
Hi This is a story about my dad. When he
was alive, he and his workmates had been playing lotto
for months and months and months. They all had their
own particular numbers, and guy's number was number five, and
number five never ever came out, so they were ribbing
him continuously. So he decided he would change his number,

(49:19):
and the following week after he changed his number, all
of their numbers came out along with number five.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
No, what would that have given them?

Speaker 7 (49:28):
Oh, they would.

Speaker 12 (49:29):
Have got first prize, So they would have got quite
a lot of money, like forty years ago. They would
have got quite a substantial amount of money. And so
of course they then ribbed him even more because he
had changed his number.

Speaker 4 (49:44):
Oh, can't change horses. Extreme.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
I'll tell you what. I can give you a horse
though for the Melbourne Cup. Ye are we now? I'm
going to give you Middle Earth?

Speaker 4 (49:53):
Middle Earth?

Speaker 7 (49:54):

Speaker 1 (49:55):

Speaker 4 (49:59):
Forty one was given.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
Bag of carrots.

Speaker 4 (50:04):
Thank you. Amber has joined us. Amber.

Speaker 1 (50:06):
All women calling tell us about the sinn Ad.

Speaker 2 (50:10):
Guys don't want to talk about it because then all
of a sudden they won't be able to be in
Sydneict anymore.

Speaker 9 (50:15):
Too many losing stories. Probably so years ago. I used
to work in a lottery Kiosk and we had a
syndicate for a big news eve motto in Perth and
I was had every intention to buy myself a ticket.
My boyfriend and I were going to go hars. It
was like two hundred odd dollars. Anyway, after selling it

(50:37):
for a few weeks and that my boss I said, oh,
I need to get a ticket and I went, oh, no,
We've just sold out, and I was like, oh my god,
you're kidding me. Anyway, we ended up winning first Division
and I was kicking myself. But then I found out
that my mum had bought two tickets for office Block
and included me in it. So I won four and
a half grand.

Speaker 1 (50:58):
So you were supposed to be part of a syndicaut
I've forgotten to put your money in.

Speaker 9 (51:01):
Yeah, and I didn't end up buying myself a ticket, souse.
I was selling it all the time and I just thought, oh, yeah,
that time, I've got time put it off. But I
would have won forty eight grand, but I won four
and a half. Anyway, that would be.

Speaker 4 (51:15):
A conflict of interest.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
If you won, well, you can't dictate the winner because.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
Whenever my my wife expect him to go into the
lotto syndicate of the local newsagent, all the time he's.

Speaker 1 (51:24):
Got a backpackage.

Speaker 2 (51:25):
And then when she goes there, he says no, no,
no win, and well no, you got to check.

Speaker 4 (51:29):
He could be sitting by in the counterga and I
was sitting on a money pile.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
You'd notice if he was sitting on her money uncomfortable.
I'm going to give you a horse, soow ambulet's see
what we can do. Oh you've drawn here, ol riffer
seven bucks. I think that's the favorite.

Speaker 4 (51:43):
That's a favor.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
Oh brilliant, Thank you, well done, Lucky. You don't have
to share it with your mum.

Speaker 4 (51:48):
Yep, exactly, okay, you should share with you. What is
coming up? Gets my goruli? You got sitting on your case?
She comes straight to us.

Speaker 2 (51:56):
Actually, by the Ghoulies line, we had a suggestion to
take to the fruited.

Speaker 4 (52:00):
Planes next year, A good one. I'll let you be
the judge of that Shire Notion podcast.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
There is now six weeks to go till we leave
the hallow ground of breakfast radio, which I've enjoyed for
twenty odd years now.

Speaker 4 (52:16):
I came here in two thousand and three.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
You got the math strong. Last week you said it
was six, so I thought this week was five.

Speaker 4 (52:22):
But I came here in two thousand and three and
they hated me here. They didn't like.

Speaker 1 (52:25):
Me at all.

Speaker 4 (52:28):
And you know he's saying these thoughts out loud.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
And then remember I rang you and I said, come
and work for me and you'll get me.

Speaker 4 (52:35):
Out of the place.

Speaker 1 (52:36):
Who is this.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
I'll get some braces from a daughter next year she's
getting married.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
And I said, so we've managed to get that over
the li, I said, because I had a new baby.
I said, how about And you spoke to my husband said,
come on, come on, make it, do it.

Speaker 4 (52:49):
I said, but your husband, I'll do the talk.

Speaker 1 (52:51):
And I said, look, how about we just do two
years and that's it for your daughter's braces.

Speaker 4 (52:56):
In two years, every increment of the show has been
it comes.

Speaker 2 (52:59):
It's not like they said back in two thousand and
five when we became a show, here's a twenty year contract.

Speaker 1 (53:04):
Wow, that would have been too much for It was
every two years, which suits me enormously our life.

Speaker 2 (53:09):
So we've always got to a point and this time
around they proposed to us that how do you feel
about moving to Drive because the radio pie is getting
smaller and that's what it is.

Speaker 1 (53:19):
So we're going to be doing a national show on
Drive three to six, the Fruited Plains you'll call.

Speaker 4 (53:23):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (53:24):
You know what a picture in because in the morning
it's coffee and I don't even drink coffee, but it's
that vibe. Afternoons, I'm seeing cheese plate, maybe some fruit
on a plate. It's just a bit of clinking on
the desk. Well, no, I don't think it's that. I'm
thinking more cocktail bar, bean bags, kind of.

Speaker 4 (53:41):
A We're not sitty bean, you know, but it's.

Speaker 1 (53:44):
A it's a looser vibe. I'm going to loose in
my teeth. Just have a look about it.

Speaker 2 (53:48):
On the grassy knoll over the who's there, I've just
knocked up some stuff, just some structures.

Speaker 1 (53:54):
I don't want structures.

Speaker 4 (53:55):
It's structure.

Speaker 1 (53:56):
You're supposed to hold hands like little shrubs and run around,
but with clothes on.

Speaker 4 (54:01):
Okay, do you hear that? Sydney?

Speaker 1 (54:04):
Who's that?

Speaker 4 (54:04):
Sydney's waiting. I'm just assures you.

Speaker 2 (54:07):
Anyway, We've been getting suggestions throughout the wig for while
we should take.

Speaker 4 (54:13):
Place on the Goolies hotline. We had this suggestion, what.

Speaker 8 (54:16):
Do you think, Hi, Jonesy and Amanda, I've got an
idea for a segment true fly or dare. Maybe someone's
been hiding the truth or has a little line. They
have to come clean, and you dare them to do that.
Maybe sair family friends, co workers.

Speaker 4 (54:29):
Let's keep it clean and respectful.

Speaker 8 (54:30):
You don't want some idiot coming on saying, oh, yeah,
I cheated on you and so we're ten women.

Speaker 1 (54:34):
Yes today, that's really trashy.

Speaker 4 (54:35):
Let's say that's the Kyle and Jackie. Oh, that's where
that belongs.

Speaker 8 (54:38):
But just you know, little things that could be funny,
not to harm anyone or embarrass anyone or offend anyone,
just fun.

Speaker 1 (54:47):
Look at your face. You don't like things that are
nice to because it doesn't work. You don't think nice
things work.

Speaker 4 (54:53):
Nice things you work? I work, But no, I don't
think that will work.

Speaker 1 (54:58):
We could try it. We're going to put that onto
a balloon.

Speaker 4 (55:00):
Oh, this is what we do.

Speaker 1 (55:01):
We take your ideas, We put them onto balloons. I
throw a diet at Brendan and whichever balloon pops we
test drive it time gets I think Sydney Sweeties on
a balloon. She's got to have her own going on.
Thanks for that meant ties to the front. Brendan gets My.

Speaker 13 (55:36):
I guess my goal is are people who don't know
how to use cheese knives. They have a beautiful cheeseplate.
You have one knife, but you use four the blue cheese,
and then someone uses the blue cheese knife to cut
into all the other cheeses.

Speaker 1 (55:52):
It's gross.

Speaker 13 (55:53):
Come on, guys, get some culture, learn how to cut
the cheese.

Speaker 4 (55:58):
That is true. There is nothing worse than blue cheese
smear on you, gooda.

Speaker 1 (56:02):
It's quite true. A lot of people don't like blue cheese.
I love it. Do you like that?

Speaker 4 (56:05):
I think it's punching well above its weight.

Speaker 2 (56:07):
And I'll tell you right now, ammon, beer, don't even
waste my time.

Speaker 4 (56:11):
Soft cheeses, bree camera, you don't like them?
